All right, listen up. If you're
0:02
constantly on the move or just
0:04
tired of skipping meals, Huel has
0:06
you covered. They're today's sponsor. It's
0:08
spelled H -U -E -L in their black
0:10
edition, Ready to Drink is a
0:12
total game changer. The Black
0:14
Edition RTD is a complete meal
0:16
in one bottle with 35 grams
0:19

to feel full focused and ready
0:25

0:43
and try it today. Listen, these
0:45
days I think it's just like this
0:47
for all of us. Aren't your
0:49
mornings chaotic? It feels like we're
0:51
out the door in a few minutes. We don't
0:53
really have time to whip up a balanced meal,
0:55
but that's where the Hewlett Black Edition comes in.
0:57
It's my go -to and it's going to be your
0:59
go -to. It keeps you full, it
1:01
keeps you energized, and it keeps you focused. So
1:03
you can tackle whatever the day
1:05
throws your way. Huel is a perfectly
1:08
balanced meal while saving you time.
1:10
It was designed by experts to provide
1:12
all the nutrients that your body
1:14
needs from a meal, but Huel takes
1:16
the guesswork and time out of
1:18
healthy eating. There's no prep, there's no
1:20
cooking and they taste so good.
1:22
Huel actually tastes like a milkshake and
1:24
they come in delicious chocolate or
1:26
vanilla flavors and here's the bonus. They're
1:29
also low sugar. And lastly,
1:31
Hewlett is incredibly affordable. With
1:33
high protein meals less than
1:35
$5, it's a budget friendly option
1:37
that I'm genuinely excited about.
1:39
And I got to say my
1:41
personal favorite is the black
1:44
edition ready to drink because once
1:46

1:48
35 grams of protein plus those

5:12

5:15
a big deal, man. Fight for
5:17
the fallen Brian Cage, John
5:20
Moxley. This was supposed to have
5:22
happened, but COVID had
5:24
different plans. It's happening tonight. World
5:26
champion versus FTW champion. Who
5:29
you got, Tony Tone Tone? I
5:31
got John Moxley. Because John Moxley
5:33
likes violence and he likes now now
5:35
hang on a second I Got
5:37
John Moxley and that is without knowing
5:40
what's going to happen. Okay. We're
5:42
right. Yeah, we should yeah, yeah Yeah,
5:44
don't everybody listen to this say
5:46
Paul Shivani's already spoiled it Moxley's going
5:48
to win. I don't know I
5:50
Won't I really won't know till I
5:52
get there and I really won't
5:54
know till So sometimes the final of
5:56
hand hits three times. You son
5:58
of a bitch. What are you trying
6:00
to insinuate? Yes, that's
6:02
exactly right. Here's what.
6:04
Here's the deal, though. Let's just
6:06
talk brass tacks before we get
6:08
into the reason we're here and
6:10
don't get me wrong. We've
6:12
got a great show planned for
6:14
you. I'm excited to talk about
6:17
it. But first we wanted to
6:19
do this right up front so
6:21
we could get annoying tabs
6:23
off of our list today because
6:25
the idea that both you and
6:27
I. Would pick John Moxley to
6:29
beat his thoroughbred Brian Cage is
6:32
going to annoy Taz and our
6:34
phones are gonna blow up.
6:36
Hmm. Well, I've uh, I've got
6:38
a remedy for that Okay, you
6:40
just put your phone on silent
6:42
and pick it up down then
6:44
and ignore it So you
6:46
like poking the bear I love
6:48
fucking the bear. It's one of
6:51
my favorite things to do. And
6:53
we're going to poke the bear
6:55
a lot today. We're
6:57
going to be talking about ECW Heatwave 2000.
7:00
And I'm excited to cover this one.
7:02
It went down on July 16th in
7:04
2000. This is really what
7:06
was the way you used
7:09
to describe WCW towards the end,
7:11
a coffin on roller skates. A
7:14
cluster fuck. Well.
7:16
A coffin on roller skates is
7:18
probably where ECW is headed here in
7:20
July of 2000. And that pains
7:22
me to say, but we know they're
7:24
going to run their last show in January. So
7:27
just five months after this,
7:29
they're done. And this
7:31
is one of the last big paper
7:33
views, and it's not without its
7:35
own controversy. So there's a lot to
7:37
unpack here, a lot to talk
7:40
about. And there may even be
7:42
some some follow up we're going to
7:44
do over at ad free shows.com
7:46
and patreon.com forward slash w h w
7:48
monday. Because you and I have
7:50
a friend. Who happened to
7:52
be there in a professional capacity and
7:54
he's going to update us on some
7:57
shenanigans and they offered to do that.
7:59
On the regular program here but of course
8:01
we don't do guests here and we're
8:04
going to upset the apple card so it's
8:06
just going to be me and Tony
8:08
today but. At some point we're going to
8:10
break off and have a few minutes
8:12
and catch up about the controversy surrounding the
8:14
show and man there is a lot
8:16
of it. And you've never seen this show
8:18
right Tony. No I've never seen it
8:20
and about the controversy I'm very unaware of
8:23
what the controversy was of the show
8:25
with the exception of. Now I
8:27
did watch parts of it today you know
8:29
getting prepped for this. There's a
8:31
lot of females. Scanly
8:33
clad. Oh, so you've
8:36
already seen the spoiler. Let me just tell
8:38
you, the start of this pay -per -view
8:40
is going to be Tony's favorite start to
8:42
a pay -per -view in the professional wrestling
8:44
category ever. You've got to find it
8:46
over on the WWE Network. What
8:48
I want you to do is go
8:50
to in ring, scroll down to see
8:52
the ECW pay -per -views, select 2000 and
8:54
then select ECW Heatwave 2000 from July
8:56
16th. Tony, I've got to pull it
8:58
up on my end. I'm ready when
9:00
you are. I'm pulling it up too,
9:03
baby. Ready?
9:06
When I say play, hit play. Oh, well,
9:08
we're not, we're not doing a big pomp and
9:10
circumstance. We're getting right to the shit today. Well,
9:12
you want some more pomp and circumstance? No,
9:14
no, no, no. I'm ready.
9:17
Okay. Now I'm going
9:19
to go three, two, one play. And
9:21

9:24
after I say play, but when, right

9:51
longtime listener of the show, you don't have to

be watching the show with us to enjoy

it and have some laughs. But
9:57
it does sometimes make it a
9:59
little more fun, especially when the
10:01
show starts like this one. So
10:05
here we go.
10:08
In three, two, one,
10:11
play. Track it.
10:24
How did you ever get involved with a man
10:26
like the blue boy? I mean,
10:28
the blue boy in his natural
10:30
habitat, the blue boy looking fit,
10:33
the blue boy looking firm, and
10:36
the blue boy looking
10:38
fine, and the blue
10:40
boy is utterly disgusted.
10:43
Hey, come look at
10:45

10:47

10:49

11:18

11:20

11:22
don't be jealous, lardass. I
11:25
mean, nobody can look as good
11:27
as the blue boy, but
11:29
you wouldn't be man enough to
11:31
handle a woman like Jasmine
11:33

11:35
of crap. Hey, what's with
11:38
the fatitude? I'm gonna kill your

11:45
the sweat of the
11:48
Blue Boy's Edge. Come
11:51
on, honey, let's go. The
11:56
Blue Boy has
11:58
sold his soul,
12:00
and now he's
12:02
reaping the benefits.
12:05
Jasmine St. Clair, here
12:08
we are, sunny Los
12:10
Angeles, California. Now
12:12
this. is no city of
12:14
angels. It's the devil's
12:16
playground. Let's face it. Historically
12:19
speaking, every time there's
12:21
a heat wave in LA,
12:23
you have riots, burning,
12:26
looting, pillaging,
12:29
blackouts. But
12:31
I know you wrestling
12:34
fans are far too
12:36
sophisticated to enjoy such
12:38
reindeer games. That's why
12:40
in the interest of
12:42
higher art and culture,
12:44
I present to you
12:46
Extreme Championship Wrestling Heat
12:48
Wave 2000, live
12:50
on Pay Per View. Now
12:53
this is a show that
12:55
is fully loaded. In fact,
12:57
you might say that it's
12:59
a regular Rodney King of
13:01
the Ring. And topping
13:03
off the show tonight, we have
13:05
a match that's near and dear
13:07
to me. holds a special
13:09
place in my heart. It's
13:12
called the stairway to
13:14
hell. The world
13:16
heavyweight champion, just
13:18
incredible. The innovator of violence,
13:21
Tommy Dremer. Who's gonna win? Who's
13:24
gonna lose? I
13:26
don't care. The only
13:28
thing for certain is that they're
13:30
both up to their necks
13:32
in hot water. Wouldn't you
13:34
agree, Mikey? Tony
14:02
what the fuck did we just watch? I
14:07
Love you. I was so excited
14:09
to see that open First of
14:11
all Jasmine should have not worn
14:13
anything she she she should have
14:15
worn anything because she didn't wear
14:18
anything well I mean, there was
14:20
nothing to the imagination with her
14:22
there. You know what she's famous
14:24
for, by the way? No, I
14:26
don't. We'll talk about it some other
14:28
time. But was that the blue
14:30
meanie is blue boy? Yeah. Wow,
14:32
he looked good. Yeah.
14:34
Wow, man. And
14:36
here we are. And we're at
14:38
the the Olympic of the legendary Olympic
14:41
Auditorium in LA. And
14:43
why it's legendary. Well,
14:46
they used to have wrestling there a lot.
14:48
If they did. It's also where they shot ready
14:50
to rumble. How about that? And
14:52
they, they, I think they also shot
14:54
a man in the moon part of
14:57
that there with Jerry Lawler. So many
14:59
great things over the days. You
15:01
know, I mean, it's, uh, it's one of
15:03
the more iconic buildings, not a huge building,
15:06
but certainly, uh, one that saw
15:08
its fair share ish. I
15:10
mean, how about Rocky was shot
15:12
there? Hmm. I mean, I
15:14
know you mentioned the, the resequence,
15:16
but dude. Rocky, come on.
15:18
Yeah, I think it's just I
15:20
think it's just now just
15:22
a movie set. I
15:24
don't think they have any any more
15:26
shows in there of of any type.
15:28
I may be wrong. It may have
15:30
changed, but I was told that they
15:32
it's just a movie set now. So
15:34
maybe I'm wrong. Looking so good is
15:36
for this fucking snakeskin neck brace. Is
15:38
that something, man? He's looking good. And
15:40
he's got them had cut off. Look
15:42
at the suit and just now he
15:44
looks like. Remember Tim in the
15:46
summer suit. I know he killed the gimmick, but
15:48
he used to walk around the suits with shorts
15:50
like this and called it a summer suit. Yeah.
15:53
Well, he never went full Gertner or the chest
15:55
hair was hanging out the taco meat. Maybe
15:57
he should bring that back. Look,
16:00
look at this. This group of fans
16:02
here, man. They are just they are
16:04
into this shit, aren't they? Well, they
16:06
love that he's foul and dirty and
16:08
we missed his limerick. But let me
16:10
just assure you it was probably bad.
16:12
Yeah. But how about Blue Mini dropping
16:14
a whole lot of LB's? He went
16:16
from a triple XL to an extra
16:18
Schmadium. And then
16:20
the silly gag of Mikey Whipwreck being
16:22
buried up to the neck and the
16:24
waves coming in. Now, what you're seeing
16:27
right now, we should remind you is
16:29
this is Don Callis, the one of
16:31
the head cheeses of impact wrestling these
16:33
days. But in this era, he is
16:35
an on camera performer slash co commentator
16:37
with Joey Styles. He had tried his
16:39
hand with the WWE as a wrestler
16:42
a few years prior. Bruce Prichard crushed
16:44
his hopes and dreams and he carries
16:46
a grudge to this day and thinks
16:48
Bruce is a giant piece of shit. Anyway,
16:53
the deal is he is representing the
16:55
network. He's a heel. So when he
16:57
comes out, as you see, he's got
16:59
the TNN mic cube. The WWE
17:01
had just ink a brand new deal
17:03
to leave USA and come to Viacom. And
17:06
now, even though they were in
17:08
business with ECW, they got
17:10
what they really wanted, which was WWE.
17:12
So it turns out that. TNN
17:14
gave ECW a deal to sort of
17:17
put their toe in the water for the
17:19
wrestling space. And when they got some
17:21
good returns, they felt good enough to make
17:23
a major bid to get the television
17:25
rights for WWE. So they do. So now
17:27
that WWE is coming to the station,
17:29
that means ECW is going to be homeless
17:31
very soon when it comes to their
17:33
television product. And that's about to
17:35
be all she wrote. Wow.
17:38
So done in by a
17:40
bunch of country rednecks.
17:43
Can you believe it? Yeah,
17:45
it turns out Nashville
17:47
tried to once upon a
17:49
time ruin Steve Austin's
17:51
career. With poor pay
17:53
days. And.
17:56
They tried to ruin ECW. Pulling
17:59
the wool out from pulling the rug out
18:01
from under and pulling the wool over their eyes,
18:03
whatever you're pulling, they're pulling things shenanigans. And
18:06
then somehow. TNA
18:08
comes through Nashville, too. I think we
18:10
can agree when it comes to wrestling.
18:14
State of Tennessee is fuck more
18:16
people than anybody. I
18:20
think Don Calais here does not know
18:22
where the hard camera is. If he's
18:24
the network boss, he needs to face
18:26
the hard camera more. OK.
18:30
It's ECW, man. OK. So
18:32
by the way, Blue Meany dropping
18:34
all the LBs. Mm hmm. And that's
18:36
probably some of the most on camera
18:38
speaking he'd ever done an ECW. Mm
18:40
hmm. I think that's a fine job. Anyway,
18:44
he was good. I mean, look, he's a talented
18:46
kid. We know him. We know him very well. Oh,
18:48
by the way, he's got a new podcast with
18:50
great friend of the show, Josh Chernoff. You should go
18:52
check it out. Mind of Meany or Mind of
18:54
Meany. And I'm so, let me
18:56
just tell you, I hate Josh Chernoff.
18:58
I just called him a friend of the
19:00
show, but I hate him because he's
19:02
talented and he's a nice guy and he's
19:04
professional and he tries hard and he's
19:06
a good dude. But that's not
19:08
why I hate him. I hate him. Because
19:10
he somehow has a brother as talented as
19:12
him. They created this killer cartoon. Telling
19:15
a hilarious story about how blue
19:17
meanies gas was once so bad that
19:19
it ruined a car forever. And
19:22
they animated the story. I've heard many tell
19:24
the story and had him tell the story for
19:26
us before at a live show and he
19:28
was a guest of ours. But my God. They
19:31
turned it into a cartoon and I'm just
19:33
I'm fighting mad about it. I've wanted to. Work
19:35
of an animator to tell some of our
19:37
stories here on the show for a long time
19:39
and couldn't find one fucking shernoffs related to
19:41
one bastards. I hate them. So go check it
19:43
out. Go out of your way to find
19:45
it. Mind of many. It's good stuff. When you
19:47
see how good it is, just say, oh,
19:49
I see what I hate them too. I would
19:51
want that. It's
19:54
not always bad to be hated by Conrad. No,
19:56
listen, if I mentioned you on here,
19:58
I probably like you. Yeah, it's like,
20:00
yeah, like, yeah. Yeah.
20:03
And I want to say something
20:05
about, uh, people we hate. Sure. Let's
20:07
talk about a shit. Okay. So,
20:09
uh, our, uh, a
20:11
lot of our, uh, low
20:13
key big hogs are still
20:16
podcasting. Oh yeah. That's a
20:18
shame, isn't it? Yeah. And I was talking to
20:20
our buddy Paul Bromwell the other day and he
20:22
said, man, I'm busy with this podcast. I'm thinking, he
20:25
said, and I talked
20:28
to Damien Purvis and he
20:30
said, yeah, we're, uh, We're
20:33
we're we're we're doing it
20:35
and thanks. Thanks to you and
20:37
Conrad. We're podcast and I'm
20:39
thinking what don't you put that
20:41
evil me Ricky Bobby? What
20:45
the fuck have we started with
20:47
these? I didn't start none of that
20:49
horse. You started all father started
20:51
off. Yeah, I forgot to tell you
20:53
I got I did this interview
20:55
a week or two back. I forget
20:57
but we were talking about You
20:59
know how crazy it was that you
21:01
were back on TV and
21:03
the Bruce was back with WB and I
21:05
said, man, I got to tell you, that's
21:07
the coolest thing about my whole little podcast
21:09
venture. You know, because I just
21:11
fell into this and just started looking for
21:13
opportunities and walking through open doors, as
21:15
they say. And one thing leads to another
21:18
in both of you guys who thought
21:20
you were both done with wrestling and it's
21:22
in your rear view mirror. Through
21:24
the podcast get back into it get
21:26
the fever get the bug get some
21:28
momentum and get big -time jobs paying
21:30
big dollars And you're back where you
21:32
belong and when I said hey man
21:34
if to know that You know my
21:36
silly podcast idea that I sold them
21:38
on had even a small part in
21:40
that them getting back in wrestling Man,
21:42
that's the greatest feeling of all like
21:44
that's such a cool thing to have
21:46
been involved in and then like I
21:48
don't know every third comment was like
21:50
look at this motherfucker Claiming
21:52
credit for getting Tony Shivani back in
21:54
wrestling claiming credit for helping Bruce get
21:56
back in wrestling. And I'm
21:59
thinking. Hey, why don't you fuck
22:01
ask him? Yeah, exactly.
22:03
Here's an idea that ain't me saying
22:05
that. That's Tony Shivani said, God damn, thanks
22:07
for giving me back in this. This
22:09
is fun. Jesus. People
22:11
just shit on anything. Oh, I
22:14
know they do. And that's the reason I
22:16
like to shit on Paul Bromwell and everything
22:18
he does that's saved by the part. What
22:20
the fuck is that? I don't know that
22:22
goddamn Jay Z flair show. Oh. Oh,
22:25
we got Nikita Koloff on this
22:27
week. Oh, I should say cool. Yeah,
22:29
we get it. Hmm. Go
22:32
get a fucking flat top. Nobody cares. Jesus.
22:35
Yeah, just just a bunch of
22:37
goofs with nothing better to
22:39
do. Here's an
22:41
idea. Spend more time with your families. There
22:43
you go. OK. Now,
22:45
in the midst of you and I talking
22:47
about a bunch of goose, what the
22:50
fuck have we been watching here? So it's
22:52
a big promo, a big schmahs. And
22:54
what they're trying to do is, oh, look,
22:56
there goes Sam Ronnie out of security
22:58
in the house. Ronnie,
23:01
go kick some ass in there, buddy. Don't
23:06
you feel like if Ronnie wouldn't
23:08
have gotten to security, he
23:10
would be like a he'd drive
23:12
an 18 wheeler. I
23:15
feel like he would be like the big boss
23:17
on the movie over the top with the rest
23:19
of Stallone. Right. He just he
23:22
wants to drive a big truck and arm
23:24
rest of motherfuckers and dive bars, needle, double
23:26
cheeseburger. Don't
23:29
you think? I agree. I
23:31
mean, listen, Hulk Hogan's running around here,
23:34
saying large arms in the world, having
23:36
a good authority. Atlas
23:38
security has the largest arms in the world.
23:41
Whoa. How about that? Matt
23:45
Kuhn is fucking pissed. That's
23:48
Matt Kuhn and his son, Matthew, who
23:50
just turned 18. Yeah, what are
23:52
you going to do about it? Yeah. He
23:56
calls that the podcast
23:58
Ender. The podcast Ender.
24:01
Matt Kuhn's lost a little weight,
24:03
too. Look at that. A little
24:05
bit. the way, what we've got
24:07
here is Big Salagraziano taking on
24:09
Balls Mahoney. Here comes
24:12
Balls. We've
24:16
seen a lot of
24:18
We've seen a lot of
24:20
balls in the past
24:22
and always kind of liked
24:24
him, you know, I
24:26
know he's not with us
24:28
Man, I
24:31
couldn't stop myself I'm
24:33
a ball watcher. I'm
24:35
a ball watcher. Watch
24:37
ball hits out. Oh,
24:40
fuck you spit on it. Hmm.
24:43
You know what's crazy is I'm
24:47
pretty sure when you see
24:49
this. And no, this was
24:51
20 years ago. Yeah.
24:53
Everyone thinks, well, big
24:56
Sally's going to be the first one to check out here. Right.
25:00
I think he's still with us. He
25:03
may be. But meanwhile, boss
25:05
Mahoney is not. And I
25:07
got to tell you, everybody who worked with him,
25:10
you know, they may have had their
25:12
critiques or some personal choices or
25:14
habits or decisions he made. Mm -hmm,
25:17
but he was supposedly like just one
25:19
of the bubba bubba boys. Mm
25:21
-hmm. Like a good dude. I didn't
25:23
but I heard really really nice things
25:25
about him as a person. Yeah,
25:27
that's good. Sally
25:29
may have found the Keto diet. Oh,
25:32
you ever want to see a guy
25:34
get CTE? There it is. He literally broke
25:36
it. It's in multiple pieces. Oh my
25:38
god. He didn't even flinch.
25:40
No, he didn't go down. Yes,
25:44
I love it. I love
25:46
it picking up in Down he
25:48
goes down he goes. All right
25:50
Chat me up on this you
25:53
said that this this show had
25:55
a lot of Controversy about it.
25:57
Was it because of what we'd
25:59
seen? No, it's coming by the
26:01
way, this is about to be
26:04
the end here. This is about
26:06
to be a finish. Mmm. I
26:10
did A scroll
26:12
ahead and saw when Francine came
26:15
to the brain excited about
26:17
that. Yeah. And I was the
26:19
commentary they did was, oh,
26:21
really, really risk. You couldn't get
26:23
away with it today. Yeah.
26:25
We'll play it. There it is,
26:27
by the way. Here comes
26:29
the ref. Referee
26:31
Jim Molano, who, by
26:33
the way, Joe Gertner had
26:36
the best introduction ever for once
26:38
upon a time. It would
26:40
be like a first, the Dudley's
26:42
wing in and a Rick
26:44
Trent slim trim, blah, blah, blah,
26:46
just, you know, and their
26:48
opponents. And then he would shit
26:50
on them. And then and
26:52
your referee is bald. That's
26:57
a great one. It never gets old. By
26:59
the way, Meltzer gave that a dud rating
27:01
and when I'm one minute 39, he called
27:03
it a basic squash. There
27:05
was. Yeah. Yeah.
27:08
Way to start the pay -per -view. It's
27:13
really a shame that in some circles
27:15
the ECW heat wave pay -per -view is
27:17
being best remembered for a publicity stunt
27:19
by XPW attempting to make its name
27:21
in the wrestling industry on something of
27:24
a national stage, then for a very
27:26
strong ECW show put on. The
27:28
show took place before a crowd
27:30
of approximately 5 ,700 in near sellout,
27:32
though there were free tickets being given
27:34
away in the parking lot before
27:37
the show on July 16th at the
27:39
Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles,
27:41
which due to its national coverage was
27:43
along with Madison Square Garden in
27:45
the Keele and St. Louis, the most
27:47
famous pro wrestling arena in the
27:49
US during the 60s and 70s. Ever
27:51
since the event was announced in
27:54
LA, there were rumors that XPW, a
27:56
Southern California based indie group by
27:58
porn mogul Rob Black patterned after ECW
28:00
that had already been sued for
28:02
trademark infringement and contract interference by ECW
28:04
would cause some sort of disturbance. The
28:07
company actually promised such on its
28:09
website, leading to a ton of concern
28:11
beforehand by ECW. As fans
28:13
were being led into the building, the
28:15
local security laid out the following rules.
28:17
No XPW signs, no blank
28:19
signs. ECW management didn't
28:21
want to give XPW employees or
28:24
fans a chance to create signs
28:26
once inside. and no XBW T -shirts.
28:29
XBW flyers for their show the following Saturday at
28:31
the Sports Arena were on most of the
28:33
car windshields in the parking lot and they were
28:35
being passed around in the building. ECW
28:37
was assisted by a local musician
28:39
named Doc Marley who once worked
28:41
for XBW and assisted ECW security
28:43
in spotting out XBW wrestlers and
28:45
officials as they tried to enter
28:47
the building and all of them
28:49
were thoroughly searched. Jasmine
28:52
St. Clair, the former porn star,
28:54
who had worked for XPW before getting
28:56
into wrestling, but is now the girlfriend
28:58
of Brian Heffron, the blue boy and
29:00
works for ECW also pointed out various
29:03
people associated with XPW around the arena. A
29:06
few XPW wrestlers came wearing company shirts, but
29:08
were forced to turn the shirts inside out.
29:10
And I just got a
29:13
random call from Ronnie Garvin. On
29:17
your phone. Yes, just now. Oh my
29:19
God, it's Bobby Eaton with CW Anderson.
29:21
Oh my God, and here we're talking
29:23
about the porn. What the hell?
29:25
What are we doing? Bobby looking good
29:28
here, man. Bobby eating. What the fuck? Come
29:30
on. I didn't even know he he
29:32
obviously was in ECW. I had no idea.
29:34
Well, he did a couple random one off
29:36
shots, and this is one of them. Okay. I
29:40
do like the Anderson and
29:42
an eating. That's cool.
29:45
Or Simon Diamond. And
29:48
that brings us to this today.
29:51
Yeah, and there he comes. What
29:53
a great gimmick he had to
29:55
Simon says and his old his
29:58
man right here is tag team
30:00
partner Johnny Swinger. Yeah, I remember
30:02
Johnny Johnny was pretty cool He's
30:04
doing a gimmick in TNA right
30:06
now. Is he really? Yep. Just
30:08
learned that. I hadn't been watching

32:22
stuff. Anyway, so the
32:24
XPW dudes are trying
32:26
to get themselves over and
32:28
and get some attention. That's
32:32
what I'd say. At one point, the rest
32:34
of Supreme was wearing a shirt and some
32:36
fans were chanting XPW seeing it. And Atlas
32:38
Security told him he had to turn his
32:40
shirt inside out. He did so. and shook
32:42
the Los Angeles police officer's hands and proceeded
32:44
to pose for photos and son autographs. According
32:46
to one XBW wrestler, before the show started,
32:48
there had been dialogue through an intermediary who
32:50
worked for ECW in New Black and spoke
32:52
with him about the show and the internet
32:54
threat. Black supposedly told him
32:56
there would be no problems at the
32:58
show, but he had purchased $650 worth
33:00
of tickets. ECW didn't
33:03
believe him, hence enforcing the aforementioned rules
33:05
for people coming to the building. XPW
33:08
wrestlers and officials located throughout the building
33:10
cause no incidents for most of the show
33:12
and continue to pose for photos and
33:14
sign some autographs. Although for the most part,
33:16
most of the fans didn't even know
33:18
who they were except for the guys who
33:20
look like local indie wrestlers because Christy
33:23
miss stood out. She's a porn star. People
33:25
were coming up to them for photos and
33:27
autographs as the show went on, particularly in
33:29
between matches. At the end of the Rhino
33:32
Sandman match, Rhino, after winning, drank a beer
33:34
to mock Sandman and threw the beer can
33:36
in the direction of the XBW contingent in
33:38
the front row. Some of
33:40
the suds hit XBW wrestler Supreme,
33:42
who was at ringside with ballet,
33:44
Christie Mist, Jimmy the homeless guy, Chris
33:47
Kloss and Kid Chaos, but
33:50
most drenched a fan sitting next to him.
33:52
Supreme started yelling at Rhino, who
33:54
never acknowledged him. Just as the main
33:56
event with credible and dreamers started the
33:58
crowd started chanting for Francine to take
34:00
her top off Missed an XPW valet
34:02
stood up turned her back to the
34:04
ring and took off her top revealing
34:06
a black leather bra which got a
34:08
huge pop none of which was evident
34:10
watching the show on TV Those near
34:12
her say she was teasing do it
34:14
doing what could be amounted to practice
34:17
tugs at her top at different times
34:19
throughout the show Apparently, ECW officials
34:21
noted it in the middle of the Rob
34:23
Van Dam match, and before she could tease taking
34:25
it off, Francine was in her face about
34:27
trying to steal her heat since Francine was supposed
34:29
to do a spot where she lost her
34:31
top as the focal point of the main event.
34:34
According to one report, Miss Shove Francine
34:36
who shoved her back, Supremes started
34:38
taking off his shirt, although
34:40
most feel it wasn't to fight,
34:42
but to turn the shirt around and
34:44
have the XPW logo visible on
34:47
camera as the commotion broke out. Mist
34:49
went down, XBW officials claimed a
34:51
security guard shoved Supreme who fell into
34:53
mist. Another XBW wrestler
34:55
took off his shirt revealing an
34:57
XBW shirt underneath. The
34:59
camera strangely were showing that there was
35:01
a major commotion for longer than would
35:03
be expected, but not showing what the
35:05
commotion was. The only mention was
35:07
Joey Styles indicating a drunk fan had
35:09
done something to Francine while all the security
35:11
in half the locker room emptied out
35:13
and rushed to that corner of ringside looking
35:15
for a fight. Wisely not
35:18
giving XPW any publicity. So
35:21
how about that? That sounds like
35:23
just like a bunch of outlaws.
35:25
It is in the wild west.
35:27
It is. Meltzer would
35:29
continue the security chase, the XPW wrestlers out
35:31
of the building where Brawl took place
35:33
in the parking lot. Enough of
35:35
the fans realized the fight was going on outside
35:38
that a large percentage of the audience was
35:40
rushed to the back. Then a live crowd at
35:42
largely killed the main event. According
35:44
to numerous witnesses and people involved, the
35:46
ECW contingent greatly outnumbered the XPW contingent,
35:48
and it was a far more violent
35:50
brawl on the street than in the
35:52
arena. Lots of punches, in
35:55
particular, New Jack, Jack
35:57
Victory, Sally Graziano, Roadkill, Chili
35:59
Willy, Mikey Whipwreck, and
36:01
even Paul Heyman. Hold
36:03
on. They're
36:06
outmaned foes. One
36:09
wrestler who was a witness said
36:11
it looked to be 20 ECW on
36:13
seven XPW guy odds until they
36:15
were able to escape in a limo,
36:17
but not before taking a pretty
36:19
bad beating, including an XPW ring crew
36:21
guy, which XPW claims was knocked
36:23
down by a wrestler and then punched
36:25
and stomped on repeatedly by New
36:28
Jack. There were Los
36:30
Angeles police officers watching this, the
36:32
ones working the show. Nobody
36:34
extra was called. No charges were
36:36
filed and nobody was arrested. which
36:38
was also sounding strange, but was explained
36:40
that they were upset at the behavior
36:42
of the XBW crew. And here's the
36:44
word I got. You've
36:47
got fucking a reshoot brawl happening in
36:49
the parking lot where guys are
36:51
getting the shit beat out of them.
36:54
But the cops don't do anything. I know what
36:56
you're thinking. Well, why not? Let's
36:58
remember we're at a wrestling
37:00
show. So when
37:02
we see 20 wrestlers fighting
37:04
seven wrestlers, We're
37:06
probably going to think it's part of
37:09
the show. Right. It's not like they're
37:11
beating up memos and little kids. Right.
37:13
These aren't fans. These are all professional,
37:16
quote, unquote, play
37:18
fighters. I'm not dismissing it, but I'm
37:20
saying they probably think this is
37:22
a production. This isn't real life. Oh,
37:24
no, he's punching him in the
37:26
head for real. They just assume. All
37:29
right. S. S. L. I. And
37:31
that's wrestling. And of course, they're in
37:33
Hollywood, so to speak. Yes. Right.
37:35
So used to seeing shit like this
37:37
and just assume, oh,
37:39
this is just a storyline. This
37:42
is this is very engaging. I
37:45
mean, it's hard. Are we going
37:47
to see parts of any of
37:49
this or did they set it
37:51
up? We'll see a little bit.
37:53
OK. Mr. Right. Paul
37:55
Heyman after the show said he
37:57
couldn't comment on anything because he
37:59
expected it would turn into a legal
38:01
situation. It's considered that both sides
38:03
were considering legal action against the
38:06
other ECW for XPW's alleged attempting
38:08
to interfere with a live television broadcast
38:10
and XPW outright set a lawsuit
38:12
should be expected within the week.
38:14
Claiming their attacks inside and outside
38:16
or physically unprovoked and excessive. They
38:19
posted a big thing. I
38:21
also would say quote unquote baby
38:23
facing themselves. And
38:25
he says Rob Black, the owner, went
38:27
even more out of control later in
38:29
the week, challenging ECW to send five
38:31
wrestlers for a shoot fight UFC style,
38:34
claiming that ECW only beat up
38:36
ring crew guys and not
38:39
only the wrestlers, but Bragg
38:41
that missed can be seen performing in
38:43
porn videos, which I guess makes her
38:45
better than Francine. I
38:48
should mention that I
38:50
know that sounds silly. But
38:52
both ECW and XPW
38:54
are leveraging adult films like
38:56
Rob Black really owned
38:58
a porn company called Extreme
39:00
Associates. And this was
39:02
a company that had federal
39:04
situations on their hands because
39:06
some of the stuff was
39:08
so over the top. Like.
39:12
They said this crosses the
39:14
line with that. They
39:17
were known
39:19
for vomit. No,
39:22
simulated rape. Oh,
39:24
yeah. He
39:26
had to be he had to spend some
39:28
time in jail. So there's a lot of
39:30
stuff going on, right? And so in the
39:32
middle of all of this, where they're trying
39:34
to sort of get their name and what
39:36
they're doing, by the way, calling themselves I
39:38
mean, the name of the foreign company was
39:40
extreme associates. They wanted to call themselves XPW
39:42
like extreme wrestling. Well, that
39:44
sure sounds an awful lot like
39:47
extreme championship wrestling. Mm
39:49
hmm. And then they started to hire guys
39:51
who were upset or pissed off with Paul
39:53
Heyman, including Sabu. So like at the time
39:55
this happened, Sabu is not with ECW. He's
39:57
with XPW, but he doesn't participate in any
39:59
of the shenanigans where he's going to go
40:01
sit front row or anything like that. But
40:04
his idea was, hey,
40:06
let's get some of some of
40:08
our porn girls from our porn production
40:10
company to be valets in the
40:12
wrestling. And
40:14
on the surface, that sounds like, well, I
40:16
don't know about that. But then you realize.
40:18
What videos do best for wrestling promotions on
40:20
YouTube even in 2020? And you're like, well,
40:22
turns out guys will pay for that. Yeah.
40:25
And I mean, even even ECW in this
40:28
era, they're chanting things like show your
40:30
tits at Francine. That would never happen now.
40:32
But back then that was just like
40:34
a regular every show champ that people did.
40:36
Oh, yeah. Well, I know. Well, now we've
40:39
got real porn stars who are doing
40:41
ungodly unspeakable things that the government doesn't even
40:43
want them to do them. So
40:45
yeah, you could, you know,
40:48
Have a look and see what that's like if you're
40:50
into that. And that's the idea.
40:52
But of course, as you could expect,
40:54
this did not work out, which is
40:56
why you've never heard of XPW. No,
40:58
not at all. I just. And
41:01
now the XPW staff is
41:03
front row ringside. There's
41:05
some of the wrestlers and whatnot are
41:07
right there. OK, not across from
41:09
us, right? To the left. To
41:12
the left. OK. Front row ringside
41:14
to the left. OK, well, we'll
41:16
keep an eye out. This is.
41:18
That's an incredible story. I mean
41:20
this this almost sounds like old
41:22
-timey, you know back when and
41:24
you know, I've talked to a
41:26
lot of Older gentlemen who have
41:28
been in wrestling me being one
41:30
of them but older than me
41:32
That said back in the old
41:34
days they used to take over
41:37
territories by gunpoint in the old
41:39
days and That sounds like to
41:41
me trying to take over a
41:43
promotion really this is crazy It
41:45
gets even crazier, man. That's
41:47
not even the craziest story with
41:49
XBW. The craziest story is
41:52
apparently Rob married one of his
41:54
adult film stars. So the
41:56
guy who owns the rival promotion.
41:59
Mm hmm. I believe
42:01
married or at least lived
42:03
with one of his
42:05
top female performers on the
42:07
adult side of things. Allegedly,
42:12
according to the rumor and innuendo. one
42:14
of his top acts
42:16
for XPW started to have
42:18
physical relations with her.
42:20
Okay. And when Mr.
42:22
Black, his boss, found out about it,
42:24
he was not happy about it. I
42:26
understand that. So he sent a couple
42:28
of guys to his apartment to cut
42:31
his dick off. Did
42:36
they succeed? They
42:39
did not cut his pecker off.
42:41
Okay. But they did cut some
42:43
stuff off. And it was a
42:45
horrific brawl. And I have asked
42:48
and begged and pleaded and tried
42:50
to sell the guys at Dark
42:52
Side of the Ring that if
42:54
they do a vice season three,
42:56
we have to get an episode
42:58
about XFW. What
43:00
a story. It's
43:02
got my attention. I can
43:05
tell you that, man. I mean,
43:07
here's what's great. This
43:09
is what happens in indie promotions. Meanwhile.
43:12
But WWE and WCW Vince hires Eric
43:14
Bischoff to make out with his
43:17
wife and daughter. All
43:20
right, S. S. L. I. M.
43:22
That's Rastlin. Well, I'm
43:24
glad to say that happy
43:26
to say that we have
43:28
evolved in in the 20
43:30
years. All
43:32
the right ways. Meanwhile, Conrad, we've
43:35
seen some pretty spectacular bumps in
43:37
this match. What is
43:39
a good match? So as a reminder, what we're
43:41
watching is Danny Doring teaming up with Ro Kill
43:43
and Kid Cash. They're going to
43:45
take on Simon Diamond, Swinger and CW
43:47
Anderson. They're going to go 11 minutes
43:49
and three seconds. Meltzer really likes
43:51
it. Gave it three and a quarter stars. Yeah,
43:53
that was some good stuff. I saw Johnny Swinger
43:55
do some stuff and I guess cash did some
43:58
pretty good stuff as well. You
44:00
know, I believe CW
44:02
Anderson retired on Facebook last
44:04
month. He gave a
44:06
pretty hard felt. Speech
44:10
and all the comments and likes and
44:12
all of that made me think it
44:14
was real. I thought the end was
44:16
a little off Maybe he was just
44:18
overcome with emotion for real, but I
44:20
was like felt a little weird I
44:22
sent it to my group chat who
44:24
we've now nicknamed the sad news bears
44:26
and More than one sad news bear
44:28
said oh, this is just an angle.
44:30
This is a word, but I'm not
44:32
convinced because guys like Chris Cruz were
44:34
like Hey man, you did a great
44:36
job. You should be proud About
44:38
whatever and I do think CW
44:41
Anderson Was probably born at the
44:43
wrong time If he's 10 years
44:45
older, I think he would have
44:47
been a big part of the
44:49
NWA and what you guys were
44:51
doing. Yeah, if he's 10 years
44:53
younger, I think he'd be I
44:55
Mean goddamn he could be the
44:57
other member of the revival. Mm
45:00
-hmm revival wanted to do a
45:02
six -man Yeah, I agree with all
45:04
that I agree with all that
45:06
and if I also feel
45:08
that if I got a comment from Chris Cruz,
45:10
I would want to kill myself. Oh, my bad.
45:12
I don't mean to say Chris Cruz. Fuck him.
45:14
I was just thinking about people I hate to
45:16
guess. I'm not sure. Yeah. I meant
45:18
to say Scott Hudson. Scott Hudson
45:20
on Facebook and I saw Scott make a
45:22
comment. So I was like, wait a minute.
45:24
Is he saying that to CW Anderson? What's
45:26
he doing? Yeah,
45:31
I get that. Well, look at this, man. Hey,
45:33
that was a big move for
45:35
2000. Yes, it was and it
45:37
was act. It was executed quite
45:39
well. Danny during over the top
45:41
onto three guys waiting. And of
45:43
course, road kills trying to send
45:45
cash drops down springboard. I was
45:47
a big time bump right there.
45:49
Yes, it was. And again, I
45:51
mean, the fans are just eating
45:53
the eating this the fuck up
45:55
again. Just really done well now.
45:58
No, wait a second. His big
46:00
guy going to look at this
46:02
tease from road kill. He
46:05
looks like Casio kid right here. He's
46:08
skinnier and Casio kid. Oh,
46:13
well, there you go. You
46:16
didn't think he was going to flip that, did you?
46:18
I didn't know what he was. You know, you
46:21
know, I didn't follow ECW
46:23
and I just it. Nothing
46:26
surprised me with them. Oh, man, I'm so
46:28
excited. I forgot to remind you, guess what
46:30
we're doing next week? What
46:33
watching a little person beat
46:35
off in a trash. Oh
46:37
god. We've been talking about
46:39
that for weeks Goddamn, I
46:41
love this show. We get
46:43
to watch little people walk
46:45
it off walk walk it
46:47
off, you know, try and
46:49
call it right then. Yeah
46:51
Yeah, we just saw pretty
46:53
good Alabama jam there from
46:55
who was that who's that
46:57
the purple is that cash?
46:59
That's Danny Doring It's Danny
47:01
Dorn in the purple rolling
47:03
around on the ground. Yeah.
47:05
Yeah. Okay. See, here's the
47:07
deal. I'm colorblind Tony. Okay. Things like
47:09
purple. I'm just having to guess. Okay.
47:13
Oh, that's a I
47:15
wouldn't want to take that ball. Hmm.
47:19
Yeah, these four six guys are
47:22
actually putting on a pretty good
47:24
show for us here. I used
47:26
to be convinced in this era,
47:28
kid cash was going to be
47:30
their top guy. He
47:32
would be like the
47:34
next Jerry Lynn the next
47:36
Rob Van Damme man.
47:38
Look at that spine buster
47:40
By the way, I
47:42
think if I have this
47:44
right I Think kid
47:46
cash might be a listener
47:49
to this show. Oh
47:51
kid cash. Hey, we we
47:53
respect you buddy He
47:55
had a great comment about
47:57
Who belonged in wrestling
47:59
and didn't belong in wrestling
48:01
a few months ago
48:03
when all of the allegations
48:05
about sexual misconduct happened. And
48:08
I was like, holy shit, I didn't know Kid
48:10
Cash was on Twitter. So I immediately
48:12
followed him and immediately we DM'd back and forth.
48:14
And I got the indication that he actually listens
48:16
to the show and he picks up the win
48:18
there with quite the finisher. But look at that,
48:20
dude. Don't you? Are you convinced coming out of
48:22
this? He's a bigger star. Oh,
48:24
yeah. Look at the crowd. Crowds are way
48:26
into it. They're eating his
48:28
ass up, man. I mean, I
48:31
really was convinced, man. He's the
48:33
next Rob Van Damme, Jerry Lynn. Like,
48:36
hey, I have a good look. I'm a
48:38
great technical wrestler, but I can do all kinds
48:40
of crazy big stuff, too. Yeah.
48:42
And he don't from from he
48:44
looks as a Jerry Lynn look
48:46
about anything. That's
48:49
a good look, man. Yeah, it is. And that
48:51
big flip into the crowd. I know
48:53
people now say, let's see that every Wednesday. Well,
48:55
nobody saw it ever in 2000.
48:57
Chris Cash. Got it over, man.
49:00
Mm -hmm. Chris Cash, Kid Cash.
49:02
Chris Cash is a different restaurant.
49:04
Oh, Rhino. This is
49:06
gonna be a bad promo. Your wife in
49:08
the fucking hospital! I like
49:10
hearing how your kids
49:12
stand over a hospital bed
49:15
and her neck in
49:17
traction and her laying on
49:19
her back in that
49:21
hospital. Just reekin' of the
49:23
rotten stench of her
49:25
cash. Sandman, keep
49:28
on coming after me. You
49:30
know what? Bring everything you
49:32
possibly can bring to the
49:34
ring, Sandman. Because you
49:36
know what? It doesn't matter
49:39
what you bring. Because
49:41
I'm not laying down. I'm
49:43
not giving this belt
49:46
up, Sandman. This is my
49:48
meaning and life. You
49:50
think I'm giving it up?
49:52
No. Why? Because I'm
49:54
the big fucking deal. The
49:56
ECW World Television Champion.
49:59
Rhino! Come on, Simon! Come
50:01
on, you want it!
50:03
Come on! Come on,
50:05
Simon! Come on! What
50:12
the fuck? What
50:16
the hell, man? I
50:36
mean, listen,
50:41
Heyman was producing all of that. I
50:44
blame Rhino for nothing that
50:46
was said right there. It's probably
50:48
exactly how they asked him
50:50
to do it and what they
50:52
wanted him to say. And
50:54
he did. Mm -hmm, but I'll
50:56
never forget when that air just
50:58
being like fucking really Like
51:00
I'm 19 and even I'm like
51:03
really Oh Holy shit, man
51:05
her gash reeked Like who even
51:07
said the word gash like
51:09
I feel like you had to
51:11
be born in the 50s.
51:13
Yeah, these dames today in their
51:15
gash Oh,
51:19
man, Jerry looks good, doesn't by the way,
51:21
you want to talk about a fucking clinic?
51:23
You're about to see why ECW still had
51:25
hardcore fans. This is going to be a
51:27
bad ass match. The King of Old School,
51:29
Steve Carino, taking on the
51:32
new fucking show. Jerry Lynn,
51:34
they get plenty of time, 15
51:36
minutes, 25 seconds. Meltzer was
51:38
a low key hater. I gave it
51:40
three and a quarter stars. But there is
51:42
a spot in here that you are going
51:44
to fucking love. Okay. So
51:46
three and three quarter stars is
51:48
hater. Well, this is better than
51:50
that. Okay. All right. I get
51:53
it. My point is if this
51:55
match happens in Japan, I love
51:57
it. Your balls about that. It's
51:59
very saying for three years and
52:01
I just couldn't wait to eventually
52:03
use it on you. Couldn't
52:06
say it without laughing. There
52:09
you go. By the way, I heard
52:11
you chuckle earlier. I bet one of
52:13
your favorite wrestler names of all time
52:15
is. Homeless Jimmy. When
52:18
you said that, I'm thinking, was it
52:20
really a wrestler or really just homeless
52:22
guy? They brought in with him. You
52:24
know, I fucked it up. It's it's
52:26
Jimmy, the homeless guy. It doesn't matter.
52:29
Just you were homeless before, after the
52:31
name. It all had the same effect.
52:33
Dude, one of the best jokes I
52:35
ever heard was, um, this
52:37
is an awful joke. Oh,
52:39
the best thing about dating homeless girls, you
52:41
can drop her off anywhere. It's
52:47
such a terrible joke. It's so bad.
52:50
It's funny. Oh, Jesus. Oh,
52:54
well, we do. We
52:56
do silly humor here on the show. Yes, we
52:58
do. You don't have to explain that. No,
53:01
you don't have to explain it. I
53:03
know. They
53:05
know, they know, they know.
53:07
So here we got. And
53:10
I. You know, I see Jerry every
53:12
other week now and he's kicking ass here,
53:15
isn't he? Yeah, he's such a great
53:17
guy. And, you know, he's really gone through
53:19
some health problems. And he and I
53:21
have talked about that, about the crazy bumps
53:23
he used to take and crazy things
53:25
he used to do and how, you know,
53:27
obviously he's paying for it now in
53:30
his later years, but he is such, Jerry
53:33
is such a great human. He
53:35
is. He's a good man and
53:37
really have a lot of time
53:39
for him always. Can you imagine
53:41
if he was a political. Jack
53:44
off. What he could
53:46
have done in the business. Mm hmm.
53:48
Yeah. I'm just saying like. He
53:51
is one of those like. Nice
53:54
to a fault, guys. Right. Well,
53:57
you just can't help but wonder if he pulled
53:59
some of the political shenanigans that we've heard guys like
54:01
triple H have done over the years. Mm
54:03
hmm. I mean, he'd
54:05
be running, wrestling, running. Oh, yeah.
54:08
Wow. Wow.
54:11
How about that, Bert? Yeah,
54:13
where are you on time? Give me your time. I'm
54:16
a little behind you based on
54:18
your reaction because you just saw
54:20
that tornado DDT off the rail
54:22
onto the floor. Give me your
54:24
timecode and I'll catch up. 42,
54:26
12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
54:28
17. We're on the money.
54:31
See, we see them sliding back
54:34
in the ring here. That
54:37
was a hell of a tornado DDT,
54:39
but yeah, you're right Jerry open a crimson
54:41
mask. Oh my god You
55:09
know it when you see
55:12
it and you will have a
55:14
reaction, okay? This
55:16
spot right here stand in the corner
55:18
punch him in the head ten times That
55:21
left 10 years too late.
55:24
Mm hmm. Oh, oh,
55:27
power bomb onto a chair. Oh,
55:30
man.
55:34
And Carino is pouring buckets. You
55:36
know, we often talk about all that's
55:38
old school. Well, he was calling himself the
55:40
king of old school, even here in
55:42
2000. He's got the old Austin Hall kind
55:44
of boots on. Very
55:46
Wyndham, Dustin Rhodes, Dusty Rhodes,
55:49
Esk. Mm -hmm, but and even
55:51
the match I'm in for that
55:53
matter, but he has He has
55:55
a crimson mask as Gordon Sully
55:57
would say good God. I mean,
55:59
you know they guys with blonde
56:01
hair always showed off the blood
56:03
better. Oh, I mean obviously, you
56:05
know flair was the master at
56:07
that But I mean this is
56:09
kind of flair esque right here
56:11
the blood. Oh big time. Yeah,
56:13
God Somebody say something about a
56:16
blade job Oh,
56:23
Jesus. Can
56:25
you imagine what that would sound like? That
56:28
old promoter come over said, Tommy,
56:30
we're going to need to get some color tonight.
56:33
I said, I'm going to need to get paid
56:35
a little more. You think you reckon you could
56:37
pay me a little more? I
56:39
got the blade right here. I'll either put it back
56:41
in my bag or I'll tape it to my finger. You
56:43
tell me what you're going to do. That
56:49
you know that conversation has happened, right? Oh,
56:51
of course it has. You know what? The
56:53
next time we do a low key big
56:55
hug get together and the world is back
56:57
to normal and people can travel again. We
57:00
need to book Tommy
57:02
Rich on Alabama return match.
57:04
Are you OK? Yeah,
57:07
I got some equipment here that fell. Go ahead.
57:09
I'm sorry. Did Lois just fall? No,
57:11
no, you would have been bigger
57:13
than that. I'm
57:16
going to get rid of these speakers. But
57:18
anyway, yeah, you know, can I
57:20
really rain on your parade on that?
57:23
What are you raining on? No,
57:25
the world will never be back to normal.
57:28
We'll never we'll never get together again. No,
57:31
we're getting back together. No, we're not off
57:33
the robot. All right. And let me
57:35
finish here. When Tommy
57:37
Rich comes back and Cassio kid
57:39
brings him over to the boot,
57:41
which is our favorite dive bar
57:43
inside a by the hour motel. But
57:46
it's. Tremendous. It's my favorite
57:48
hangout in Huntsville. I go
57:50
two days a week. But
57:52
my point is I'm going
57:54
to ask Tommy before we
57:56
go in. You think
57:58
we can get some color tonight? And
58:02
just see what he says. Can
58:05
you imagine if in
58:07
the middle of our
58:09
visit, he started fussing
58:11
with Ed about the bill? And
58:14
went to give him a DDT on the floor
58:16
and he came up. We
58:19
got to get rich at
58:21
a bar. We got to do that.
58:24
I think Tommy Rich kind of become one of
58:26
us, hasn't he? You know, one of our. Oh,
58:28
for sure. Yeah. One of our low key, big
58:30
hog kind of guys. Let me just say this.
58:32
If I'm at that show, I don't want to
58:34
be arguing with a guy covered in blood. No, I
58:37
don't want to. And
58:39
it's not because I think it's going to
58:41
hurt me. It's because of his goddamn blood
58:43
on me. Right. I just I don't
58:45
it. But I guess, you know, the rabbit fan to
58:47
it right up against it. They don't give a shit. And
58:51
I mean, he has been
58:53
bleeding for multiple minutes here now.
58:57
Holy shit. Yeah. And think about this.
58:59
We're all wearing masks right now. He's
59:02
bleeding on motherfuckers. Drop with
59:04
that. My ass. Which
59:06
brings me back to my point
59:08
that we look this forever.
59:10
Everything sucks. Tony, I'm negative.
59:13
Yeah, no, we're not getting back. Everything's
59:15
gonna be fine, Tony. No, it's
59:17
not. God damn it. Being optimistic. You
59:19
know, you've been doing this our whole fucking relationship
59:21
and it all works out better than you thought.
59:24
What? Being negative. Being
59:26
a realist. No, you're always negative.
59:28
And I try to get you to
59:31
speak positive shit into existence. I
59:33
mean, you used to say you'll never hire
59:35
me. I'll never work in wrestling again. Now
59:39
what, motherfucker? Well,
59:42
you know, it's on your phone more
59:44
than lowest this. I was
59:46
I was really wrong there. And
59:48
other times. OK, you didn't
59:50
think this podcast would work. You didn't think anybody
59:52
would buy a t -shirt. You didn't think hand
59:54
free shows would work. You didn't think anybody would
59:57
want to come to a low key big target
59:59
together. You didn't think that your son did have
1:00:01
a birthday this past weekend, but he did. And
1:00:04
happy birthday, Matt. I
1:00:06
forgot to text you into it right now and
1:00:08
I'm busy. So I hope
1:00:10
you listen. And you
1:00:12
get the message that I wished
1:00:14
you a happy birthday. I
1:00:17
didn't get you confused with Chris, which I
1:00:19
often do. I
1:00:22
just remember one of you started one of his
1:00:24
mouthier. I'll let you figure out who's
1:00:26
who. Still,
1:00:29
I. not
1:00:32
trying to be negative. I
1:00:35
have no trust in anyone
1:00:37
and authority in the United
1:00:39
States of America. None. Trust
1:00:41
in me. Trust in me. All
1:00:43
right. None. Look
1:00:47
at his hair. Look
1:00:49
at his face. I can't. This this
1:00:51
may be one of the better blade
1:00:53
jobs we've ever seen ever. So
1:00:55
we couldn't get over the top rope. I'm
1:00:57
not mad at him. He's a court low.
1:00:59
And look at the people who usually are
1:01:01
kind of rapid. They're like going, what the
1:01:03
fuck are we looking at? What's a horror
1:01:05
movie? Oh, Jesus. Have
1:01:08
we seen the spot yet you're
1:01:10
talking about? No, you won't. You will
1:01:12
not mistake it. OK, it is one
1:01:14
of the more iconic ECW moments ever
1:01:16
happened when they were on roller skates. I'm
1:01:22
when I see when I see Jerry, I've got
1:01:24
got to talk to him about this match. Oh,
1:01:27
God. I don't
1:01:29
want to take a DDT like that.
1:01:31
Hmm. I don't want
1:01:33
to be a pro wrestler, Tony. This
1:01:35
feels like this would hurt. Yeah,
1:01:37
I'm thinking if I'm Steve Carino, I don't
1:01:39
kick out there. Fuck it. I agree.
1:01:41
I'm like, you know what? I'm
1:01:44
done. All right, track it. Steve Carino showing
1:01:46
a lot more flight than any of us gave
1:01:48
him credit for. What
1:01:50
in the world? my.
1:02:01
Joey. I'm
1:02:03
going to be sick right about now. You
1:02:08
see what Jerry Lin is writing on his
1:02:10
own body with Carino's blood? He
1:02:13
just wrote. He wrote
1:02:15
the word. Can
1:02:17
you believe what
1:02:20
we just saw?
1:02:23
Oh, oh, my. Oh, you
1:02:25
know what? I hate to say this, but I
1:02:27
fucking loved it. It's the coolest fucking. Visual
1:02:30
it and you know what it
1:02:32
had to it had to be ad
1:02:34
-libbed had to be yes Fuck pretty
1:02:37
good back kick too, dude. I'm
1:02:39
telling you if Steve Carino and Jerry
1:02:41
Lynn were 10 years younger their
1:02:43
main eventing I don't know if it's
1:02:45
Monday Wednesday or Friday night But
1:02:47
I know that's where they'd be and
1:02:49
this is just one of those
1:02:51
times where at the moment If you
1:02:53
weren't the rock or stone cold
1:02:55
or Bill Goldberg or Hulk Hogan or
1:02:57
Ric Flair it just wasn't happening
1:02:59
But right now, today, Steve
1:03:01
Carino would have headlined an AEW
1:03:04
or WWE pay -per -view within the last
1:03:06
year, and him and Jerry
1:03:08
Lynn would be main eventing on Monday, Wednesday,
1:03:10
Friday, whatever. You
1:03:13
know, here's the deal, man. As a kid, we
1:03:15
all loved eating cereal, but then we grow up
1:03:17
and we realize I need protein in the morning,
1:03:19
not sugar. But what if
1:03:21
there was a way to have that
1:03:23
same great, nostalgically delicious cereal? But
1:03:25
it's filled with protein and not
1:03:28
sugar. Magic Spoon has made it a
1:03:30
reality. You see, every serving of
1:03:32
Magic Spoon cereal has 13 grams of
1:03:34
protein, zero grams of sugar, and
1:03:36
four grams of net carbs, so you
1:03:38
can feel good about what you're
1:03:41
eating. The most popular flavors are fruity
1:03:43
and cocoa, but there's so many
1:03:45
more. And Magic Spoon's brand new treats
1:03:47
are crispy, crunchy, airy, and an
1:03:49
easy way to get 12 grams of
1:03:51
protein on the go. And for
1:03:54
the first time ever, Magic Spoon treats
1:03:56
are available in grocery stores. with
1:03:58
delicious flavors like marshmallow and chocolatey peanut
1:04:00
butter. Personally, I like the double
1:04:02
chocolate. Yeah. Roll tide. Get $5 off
1:04:04

1:04:11
store. That's magic spoon.com slash WHW for
1:04:13
$5 off magic spoon. Hold on
1:04:15
to the dream. My
1:04:17
God. Is this it? No,
1:04:19
it's still going. Yeah.
1:04:22
You know, I'm telling you right now,
1:04:24
I that that. And when he's
1:04:26
when he put the D on, he's, you know,
1:04:28
I knew what was coming. Yeah. Dude. And
1:04:30
what a fucking cool moment that is. When
1:04:33
wrestling is good, there ain't nothing better, baby.
1:04:35
And that's this show has a couple of
1:04:37
those moments. And that was one of them
1:04:39
where it's like, oh, my God. Boy,
1:04:43
I got a great conversation coming up
1:04:45
with Jerry this week. I can't wait.
1:04:48
Oh, God. Well. I
1:04:52
love stories like this. Steve Carino be trusted.
1:04:54
He's friends with Jeff Jones. Oh,
1:04:57
yeah. Well, yeah. And then he works
1:04:59
with Terry Taylor. He'll have
1:05:01
a choice in that. You know what I mean? Well,
1:05:03
Terry Taylor's getting shoved down his throat like
1:05:05
we were in 88 with the Red Rooster. Yeah.
1:05:07
Well, yeah, you'd have a choice. You see
1:05:09
Terry, you run his head into a door and
1:05:11
then you keep walking. Look at this shit. Jack
1:05:14
Victory holding a bag of powder. Oh,
1:05:18
he hit the referee. Dude.
1:05:24
Of course, there's nobody there to make the
1:05:26
count. Looks like Jerry Lynn has it
1:05:28
clearly won. But the rep
1:05:30
literally took a powder. Steve
1:05:35
Carino has been bleeding so long, it's
1:05:37
finally. It's
1:05:39
finally plotted up. He's not bleeding. By
1:05:41
the way, Meltzer said Carino's used heavily
1:05:43
early and his bleached hair turned red.
1:05:45
Victory interfered a lot. Lynn ended up
1:05:47
taking Carino's blood and smearing it all
1:05:49
over his own body like war paint
1:05:51
on his face and spilling dye on
1:05:53
stomach. Now that was
1:05:55
rather sickening. Lots of false finishes
1:05:58
with Victor interfering before Lynch hit the cradle
1:06:00
pile driver. Only complaint is the match was
1:06:02
slightly long and dragged to the middle. See,
1:06:04
I disagree. Yeah,
1:06:07
I do too. I think this is
1:06:09
every bit of foreign something. I understand
1:06:11
not giving it five, but
1:06:13
golly, are you not emotionally invested
1:06:15
in what's happening right now? No,
1:06:17
no, you're right. You're right. The
1:06:20
match, a good wrestling match, I
1:06:22
really think cannot be. Bam,
1:06:25
bam, bam, bam, all the time. Right.
1:06:27
There's got to be slow moments. There's got
1:06:29
to be moments where the kids are
1:06:31
selling or the kids are doing something. I
1:06:33
just let it breathe, baby. Let it
1:06:35
breathe. Absolutely. Let it breathe. Very well said.
1:06:37
The lowest ever tell you that. Honey,
1:06:39
we got to get home. I got to let it breathe. She
1:06:43
ever say that? No.
1:06:47
Of the many things she has said to me,
1:06:49
that's not been one of them. I
1:06:51
mean, and I'm thankful for that. You
1:06:53
know what it means. Let it breathe. No.
1:06:55
And I wouldn't know what it meant when she said it.
1:06:58
However, I do like always have like guys
1:07:00
on their knees, lugging it out. I
1:07:02
always thought that was a good, pretty cool.
1:07:04
That's like, we're so spent. We can't
1:07:06
get on our feet, but we're still going
1:07:08
to hit each other. I'm always like,
1:07:10
how about the boot came off? He's still
1:07:12
wrestling. I've always liked that little drop
1:07:14
down. The way Cody won the world's title.
1:07:16
Hmm. How about that? This
1:07:19
is good old school, great
1:07:21
wrestling in the middle of a
1:07:23
fucking bloody brawl. Look at the
1:07:25
crowd. Yep. Dude,
1:07:27
I'm telling you, these are fucking top guys right
1:07:29
here. And I know because they
1:07:31
were top guys at the end of
1:07:33
ECW, you guys were like, well, but now
1:07:35
fuck your well, but these guys were
1:07:37
bad ass. And I would argue they're much
1:07:39
better wrestlers than a generation before with
1:07:41
guys like Sandman and Raven and Sabu. I'm
1:07:43
not saying those guys weren't great characters
1:07:45
and great innovators. But once the bell rings,
1:07:47
let me watch that shit. That was
1:07:49
outstanding. At least four stars for
1:07:51
me. It was 15 minutes, 25 seconds.
1:07:53
Didn't feel like it to me. Would
1:07:56
it melt or give it three and some
1:07:58
three and a quarter? Oh, no, no, no. He
1:08:00
missed it. He's not always right, as we
1:08:02
know, but he really is his opinion. You know,
1:08:04
there's no right or wrong. It's just his
1:08:06
opinion. Yeah. I'm
1:08:09
allowed to have one, too. That shit was awesome.
1:08:11
Yeah. I'm
1:08:14
so happy we're watching this together, man.
1:08:16
I love watching wrestling with you. I
1:08:19
love watching things
1:08:21
I missed. And
1:08:24
obviously, I missed because in 2000, I
1:08:26
was calling shit. Well, but there's some shit
1:08:28
here, too. There's a lot. I mean,
1:08:30
and here's the thing, WWE was not that
1:08:32
great in 2000. You
1:08:34
heard a couple of little inside references
1:08:36
there to start the show from Dr.
1:08:38
James Mitchell. Here's the replay. You want
1:08:40
to call it, Tony? Up on
1:08:42
jump is Jerry Flynn. Take a look at what he's
1:08:44
doing here. He's diving. He's coming across all. He sends
1:08:46
both of them down. My God, it's
1:08:48
Steve Carino. He's a bloody mess.
1:08:51
Later, he will be. Here
1:08:53
comes the tornado DDT, I do believe.
1:08:57
Oh, did you see? Did you see? Did
1:09:00
you see him grab the blade out of his
1:09:02
hand? Oh, my God. Oh, God, you could see
1:09:04
it. There he cuts himself as he went down.
1:09:07
Oh, God, we're not going to rewind
1:09:09
it, but go back and look. You
1:09:12
could see him grab his blade. Oh,
1:09:16
man. Got to
1:09:18
give me credit, man. He Dustin Rhodes. Oh,
1:09:20
my God. It's like Dustin
1:09:22
did it double or nothing last
1:09:24
year. Back
1:09:26
when everybody was normal. It
1:09:29
was a fucking great show, man. I
1:09:32
think it's kind of cool that the first set of
1:09:34
figures you all are doing at A .W. But
1:09:36
they're all wearing their outfits from that show.
1:09:38
I just realized that this week. Yeah, that's pretty
1:09:41
cool. We got to go. We got a
1:09:43
good, good working relationship with those good guys.
1:09:45
They are good guys. And I think me and
1:09:47
you are going to be doing some stuff
1:09:49
with them here pretty soon here on the program.
1:09:52
I'm not normally a figure collector, but
1:09:54
what soon as they announced those, you
1:09:56
know, just because of my relationship with
1:09:58
some of the guys and the idea
1:10:00
that, you know, they're all wearing their
1:10:02
gear from that first show, which which
1:10:04
we participated with with Starcast and you
1:10:06
actually got to set ringside. I
1:10:09
knew I wanted them, but. Then
1:10:11
I actually got to work with the
1:10:13
folks who were, you know, making
1:10:15
the damn things and their top notch
1:10:17
like they're one of us, man,
1:10:19
big wrestling fans, big collectors,
1:10:22
great guys, excited to be working with
1:10:24
them. Yeah, me too. And, you
1:10:27
know, I need to. Say
1:10:29
something about being ringside a double
1:10:31
or nothing back in. Oh,
1:10:35
yeah, 2019. That
1:10:37
was kind of a surreal moment for me. And
1:10:42
I think about that moment often. And
1:10:46
I think about how
1:10:48
you, you know, because I think
1:10:50
we talked about this before. I didn't want
1:10:52
to go to that show. Correct. Because
1:10:55
I just didn't want to go. I didn't want
1:10:57
to be, I didn't want to, I didn't want to
1:10:59
be, I didn't want to be seen there. It's
1:11:01
not that you don't, by the way, watch what
1:11:03
Ryan was about to do right here. Okay. All right.
1:11:06
Holy, oh my God. That's Sandman's wife
1:11:08
with a pile driver off the apron
1:11:10
through the floor to the concrete, no
1:11:12
padding. Oh, God. And of course, he's trying
1:11:14
to talk to her and check on her and they should have
1:11:16
worked on that a little sooner. Right. But,
1:11:20
dude, would you take
1:11:22
a pile driver off the apron through a table
1:11:24
to a concrete floor? No. Now,
1:11:26
if you were a woman. No,
1:11:28
I'd let my wife lowest, but I
1:11:30
wouldn't do it. That's different. I'm kidding. Jesus,
1:11:34
criminy. I mean, she just. This
1:11:38
is some horrible shit. Is that
1:11:40
Carino again bleeding? No,
1:11:43
this is from another night, buddy. Oh,
1:11:45
yeah, but he's bleeding again from another
1:11:47
night. Yes. It's just some
1:11:49
bitch can bleed. Look, they're going to
1:11:51
pick the corpse up, hold it in front
1:11:53
of the table so he could go
1:11:56
and say, man, literally just gave Ron a
1:11:58
CTE right in front of us. I
1:12:09
go through the table with his wife
1:12:11
in his arms. Oh,
1:12:14
ECW ECW ECW.
1:12:16
But look at
1:12:18
the fans. Oh,
1:12:20
they're all into it because nobody knows what
1:12:22
to think. I know. There's like, what the
1:12:24
fuck? Have we just. All
1:12:26
right, let's try. All right. Right now, you've
1:12:29
speared my wife through a
1:12:31
table. You've piled
1:12:33
driven my wife from the apron
1:12:35
through a table to the
1:12:37
floor Put her in the hospital
1:12:40
How do you think I feel when
1:12:42
I have to take my kids to
1:12:44
see my wife in a hospital for
1:12:46
seven straight weeks? I had a tear
1:12:48
in my eye every single time I
1:12:50
walked into that hospital. My kids
1:12:52
were crying also. You know how that
1:12:54
makes me feel, Rhino? You know what
1:12:56
that makes me want to do to
1:12:58
you? How do you think I feel
1:13:00
when every night I put my kids
1:13:02
to bed and the last thing that
1:13:04
comes out of their mouth is, Daddy,
1:13:06
when's Mommy gonna come home? Rhino?
1:13:09
I am getting ready to
1:13:11

1:13:13

1:16:25
I'm telling you right now. If
1:16:27
I'm the the other promotion, okay,
1:16:29
there's Tony DeVito an angel By
1:16:31
the way, we have a lot
1:16:33
of ACW alumni listening to this
1:16:35
Tony is a listener to the
1:16:37
show shout out to Tony hey,
1:16:39
Tony Appreciate your buddy and we
1:16:41
knew Jack just taking his time
1:16:43
going to the ring and now
1:16:45
that he is getting wailed on
1:16:47
whoa So these are the baldies,
1:16:50
right? The baldies look at you.
1:16:52
Mm -hmm. Well, it's on the back
1:16:54
Oh, they're sure. I can. I
1:16:56
can read that. You know, I just realized, but
1:16:58
I think you're the most famous Tony in
1:17:00
wrestling history. I
1:17:02
would argue that you're more popular than
1:17:04
Tony Korea. I would argue
1:17:06
that you're more popular than Tony
1:17:08
DeVito. How about Tony Atlas?
1:17:10
I was going to say even Tony Atlas. Yeah,
1:17:13
you're more over. You're the most over
1:17:15
Tony. And then, of course, it's
1:17:18
DeVito than Atlas. No, it's Tony
1:17:20
Khan. Oh, shit. Yeah. I
1:17:22
forgot about him. I
1:17:26
didn't. No, I didn't count. He
1:17:28
don't count for real. We're talking about.
1:17:30
What the fuck? I'm not. Those
1:17:32
comments from Conrad Thompson had not. Oh,
1:17:34
I don't mean that, you shithead.
1:17:36
I mean, he's not on camera. Oh,
1:17:39
I got like not backstage. Like,
1:17:42
yeah, there's probably been really important people
1:17:44
that I think of right now behind the
1:17:46
scenes besides Tony Khan. I mean, like,
1:17:48
you know, you do commentary or you're in
1:17:50
the ring, whatever. Oh,
1:17:52
I thought of a great shirt. I'm
1:17:55
going to get Ryan to put
1:17:57
this together for us over at lowestrules.com.
1:18:00
It's going to be a black
1:18:02
shirt with white letters and we
1:18:04
might do a few other fun
1:18:06
colors. But it'll say in a
1:18:08
very official font, non
1:18:10
bumper. Non
1:18:12
bumper. And I want you to
1:18:14
wear one as to wear one.
1:18:17
J .R. to wear one. There's people
1:18:19
who are working at dynamite. Well, that
1:18:21
day when you're doing everybody's doing
1:18:23
their walkthroughs and they're one one at
1:18:25
one PM meets and all that. Just
1:18:28
identify yourself for people who
1:18:30
aren't sure that you guys are
1:18:32
the non bumpers. We
1:18:35
will. I think it would be cool if
1:18:37
people in the crowd were to. And how
1:18:39
about this? If the wrestlers would have
1:18:41
been wearing it or if the fans would have
1:18:43
been wearing it this night, the police would have made
1:18:45
some arrests, but they
1:18:47
couldn't tell who's who's wrestling and
1:18:50
who ain't. Who is the Bob
1:18:52
person who's not who in the
1:18:54
world is the guy with the
1:18:56
flash gimmick on? That's super Nova
1:18:58
Mike Bucci. Okay. Banking business
1:19:00
in Kentucky. We've seen him as
1:19:02
Simon Dean. Right. On WWE. We've
1:19:04
also seen him as Hollywood Nova
1:19:06
when he was spoofing the NWO
1:19:08
with the BWO. But before that,
1:19:10
he was one of Raven's lackeys
1:19:13
as Nova. Well, this
1:19:15
is a this is a blatant disregard
1:19:17
for Warner media. trademark
1:19:21
The flash DC comics you see
1:19:23
what because he's wearing red and yellow.
1:19:25
Yeah, he's got these got the
1:19:27
lightning He's just wrestling in a t
1:19:30
-shirt, buddy. Yeah, okay. I got it
1:19:32
Well, at least he's different anybody
1:19:34
else in the match and that's good.
1:19:36
Well, cuz the other guys are
1:19:38
a tag team you see, right, but
1:19:40
Didn't he have a tag partner
1:19:43
here? Yes, he does. Do you know
1:19:45
who that tag partner is? Yes,
1:19:47
I do because I see it right
1:19:49
down to bottom my screen here
1:19:51
Okay, well, do you know who he
1:19:53
is Chris Chetty? Yeah, I do
1:19:56

1:20:05
pass? I didn't say that That was Giovanni,
1:20:07
I'm laying out buddy. No, I was
1:20:09
just wondering what he thinks of his cousin
1:20:11
He may say hey, I like my
1:20:13
cousin. He calls me every hour Or I
1:20:15
don't like my cousin. He calls me
1:20:17
every hour. I

1:21:17
wife is a gas station shooter. Oh,
1:21:21
no. No,
1:21:23
did you stop that? I
1:21:26
didn't know. Oh,
1:21:28
no, man. One
1:21:30
day. She
1:21:32
ate something bad. Yeah. OK.
1:21:35
We were in town and she asked
1:21:37
if I could pull over. Mm
1:21:39
hmm. OK. And
1:21:42
I said, why? She said she needed to use
1:21:44
the restroom. And I'm like, well, we'll be home
1:21:46
in 10 minutes. She's like, I need you to
1:21:48
pull over. Hmm. Okay. So I
1:21:50
knew, okay, she ate something that she didn't agree
1:21:52
with. Right. That was a freak
1:21:54
accident. Happened once in our four year
1:21:56
existence. And then
1:21:58
a pup putting along the
1:22:00
other day in North Carolina with
1:22:02
her. That's where visiting her
1:22:04
mom's new place in Charlotte. And
1:22:06
she says, I used to
1:22:08
take a lot of poops in
1:22:10
there and pointed at a
1:22:12
gas station. And
1:22:15
I have a ton of toilet humor,
1:22:17
as you know, that is not her
1:22:19
deal at all. In fact,
1:22:21
whenever. I've
1:22:23
never known that she made a duty. But
1:22:27
I do know when it
1:22:29
happens, she has a phrase,
1:22:32
floors and doors should go to
1:22:34
another floor and she'll go
1:22:36
through at least four doors and
1:22:38
then it will happen. And
1:22:40
I only know that because she's told
1:22:42
me it's floors and doors. OK, but
1:22:44
I could never tell you just I
1:22:46
think she's in the kitchen. Mm
1:22:49
hmm. I don't know, making a cake
1:22:51
or something. She disappears. She comes back. The
1:22:53
cake is there. I never knew she
1:22:55
left. It's a great fucking story.
1:22:57
Go ahead. Oh, I'm just telling you. Mm
1:22:59
hmm. Took a lot of poops in
1:23:01
there. My wife is a gas station shooter.
1:23:03
I haven't told anybody this yet, Tony. Mm
1:23:06
hmm. I wanted to tell you she would rather
1:23:08
shit at a gas station than she would at
1:23:10
home. Is that what you're saying? She couldn't make
1:23:12
it. Oh, so her situation
1:23:14
was she would have, you know, did
1:23:16
her workout, had whatever sort of breakfast
1:23:18
supplement and been on the way to
1:23:20
work. And then nature called. And I
1:23:22
think nature's calling during this promo. What
1:23:24
do you think, Tony? Or what do
1:23:26
you think Tommy's saying here? Well,
1:23:29
at least she didn't shit in my hand here, as you
1:23:31
can see, she shit in the toilet over
1:23:33
there to the right. And I said, no, I'm going to
1:23:35
shit in the toilet the left. And she said floors and
1:23:37
doors. So floors and doors is
1:23:39
what I'm all about. See, that's it.
1:23:41
I like floors to out shit anywhere because
1:23:43
i'm an ecw and as we know
1:23:45

I can imagine what the women do. Oh,
1:24:51
God, don't know. Jesus Christ. I'm over
1:24:53
here. I just, I don't want to use
1:24:56
you. You shitted the Chevron? My God, I can't
1:24:58
believe. Why didn't he fucking marry you? Oh,
1:25:00
Jesus Christ. Oh, and
1:25:03
your Ric Flair's daughter. Oh, let
1:25:05
me tell you this one more time, okay? Shit
1:25:08
at home Shit at home. I
1:25:10
would rather shit in my pants
1:25:12
than shit in a goddamn Chevron
1:25:14
Yeah, that's what I mean and
1:25:16
look at me. I'm bleeding, okay?
1:25:18
They're probably people that bleed in
1:25:20
toilets in a gas station not
1:25:22
me They say that racetrack and
1:25:24
they say that QTs are good.
1:25:26
I say it's all not a
1:25:29
place to take a shit They
1:25:31
may have great drinks and they
1:25:33
may have hot dogs But
1:25:35
it's not a place to take a shit in. You
1:25:37
see what I'm saying? The walls
1:25:39
look like this. The
1:25:41
walls look like this. The
1:25:44
walls or shitters look
1:25:46
like this. You shouldn't
1:25:48
shit in a place. Walls
1:25:50
look like this. You get it. You
1:25:53
understand what I'm saying? Never
1:25:55
shit. We
1:25:58
should stop the show right now. We will
1:26:00
never top that. Well,
1:26:03
he just. He was as upset as
1:26:05
I was about what you said. Oh,
1:26:09
my God, we got a little Italian
1:26:11
here. It's
1:26:13
psychosis, baby. Psychosis,
1:26:15
baby. Oh,
1:26:19
hey, so chat me up. Yeah.
1:26:21
What's low? How does the lowest
1:26:23
feel about shit? Oh, she
1:26:25
does. She wants to shit at home, too. I
1:26:28
really needed you to say she's for it.
1:26:35
Um, so she likes to share at home. I
1:26:37
think everybody likes to share at home. But
1:26:39
if nature calls, she she'd blow it out of
1:26:41
a BP. Yeah,
1:26:43
I think she would. I think anybody would,
1:26:45
wouldn't they? Well, let me tell you this. This
1:26:47
is something we haven't talked about before. All
1:26:49
of my vehicles in the trunk is a little packet
1:26:51
of wet wipes. Right.
1:26:54
Just in case. Just in case.
1:26:56
Yeah. And
1:26:58
when you go, when you go out of town, do you
1:27:00
pack extra underwear? No, I don't
1:27:03
wear underwear. Oh, OK. Wow.
1:27:05
That's what you and the American dream have in common. OK.
1:27:11
I always pack an extra pair of underwear. That's not the
1:27:13
only thing me and Dream have in common. Vince
1:27:16
hired us both as a rib. Do
1:27:25
you like that one,
1:27:27
didn't he? That was
1:27:29
a great one. That
1:27:31
was an off the
1:27:33
cuff five star right
1:27:35
there. Next
1:27:38
up, we've got Tajiri in a
1:27:41
four way with Mikey Whipprick, psychosis.
1:27:43
And I think they're calling
1:27:46
him Grand Maritado, but
1:27:48
it's a little weirdo. No. They're
1:27:51
going to go nine minutes, 17
1:27:53
seconds, psychosis gets a huge pop coming
1:27:55
out. And that's what I style,
1:27:57
said he was six, two, which is
1:27:59
kind of funny, more like five,
1:28:01
10. But still, this is a good match.
1:28:03
He gave it three and a half stars. He
1:28:06
liked it even better than the Jerry
1:28:08
Lynn Steve Reno match. I should mention
1:28:10
the Chetty and Nova against the Baldies.
1:28:12
That went four minutes, 39 seconds, two
1:28:14
and a half stars. Unfortunately,
1:28:16
our man Tony did not win. Chetty
1:28:19
and Nova did. But
1:28:21
to Jerry, such a great talent,
1:28:23
so underrated. Oh, yeah. I
1:28:25
mean, you talk about another guy. Dude,
1:28:27
imagine if if he was. Doing his thing
1:28:29
right now for the first time I had
1:28:31
a pro wrestling T story are you kidding?
1:28:34
Yeah, he'd be blowing up and
1:28:36
little Guido criminally underrated same
1:28:38
thing excelled at everything he ever
1:28:40
did supposedly all around great
1:28:42
guy, but just in the era
1:28:44
where. You know, he
1:28:46
wasn't the biggest guy. Yeah.
1:28:49
You telling me he couldn't have some fun
1:28:51
working matches with. I mean, I'd love to
1:28:53
see him really get to test his metal
1:28:55
against a guy like Roger Strong or Adam
1:28:57
Cole or. You know some
1:28:59
of those guys we know to be
1:29:01
the upper echelon right now. Yeah, and
1:29:03
even back in the day Years before
1:29:05
this being a WCW cruiserweight when the
1:29:07
cruiserweights were great. Yeah, he probably would
1:29:09
have been he probably fitting well We
1:29:11
saw to Jerry and Mike awesome remember
1:29:13
that match we saw which was tremendous. I
1:29:16
Believe I'm right about that. Here we
1:29:18
go with all the crazy tables. Yes,
1:29:20
that was my side of Tanaka. Oh,
1:29:23
that was Tanaka. Okay, sorry. That's all
1:29:25
good. Okay And they just
1:29:27
dug Mikey Whipwreck out of the sand. Yes,
1:29:29
they did. And by the way, he
1:29:32
is a great broadcast to F. R. M.
1:29:34
Him and Jerry Lynn get together and
1:29:36
chop it up and talk about the good
1:29:38
old days of ECW. So check them
1:29:40
out. And Father James Mitchell, who I know
1:29:42
to be a nice guy. I
1:29:44
got to tell you, creeps me the fuck
1:29:46
out with those weird fingernails. He was good. I
1:29:48
mean, he was he was creepy good. I
1:29:51
mean, he had
1:29:53
those those eyebrows. And
1:29:56
you saw it at the beginning of the
1:29:58
show that he put up in like devil horns,
1:30:00
Satan horns. Yeah, he just slicks them up.
1:30:02
Yeah, slicks them up. But I mean, just. But
1:30:04
no, seriously, that's the easy thing to do,
1:30:06
right? If you've got some longer eyebrow hair, it's
1:30:08
easy to sort of fashion them up, put some product
1:30:10
in it, make it say. But
1:30:12
it is a goddamn commitment to
1:30:14
walk around with pointy fingernails. Yes.
1:30:19
Like that really limits.
1:30:23
Well, I ain't his job
1:30:26
opportunity and be his ability
1:30:28
to wipe his own ass
1:30:30
or stroke himself or help
1:30:32
a lady friend out Yeah,
1:30:34
yeah, that's commitment Look at
1:30:36
fuck look at whipwreck man
1:30:38
Or Mikey could do some
1:30:40
shit Dude and you want
1:30:42
to talk about a talented
1:30:44
guy. I mean y 'all had
1:30:47
him. Oh, yeah, and WCW
1:30:49
Yeah. And again, just like
1:30:51

with the public enemies like a six
1:33:04
man against some literature doors. Do
1:33:09
some. Yeah. Well, who
1:33:11
knows what we would have done. Now,
1:33:15
who's this in the ring? That's
1:33:17
the other member of the FBI.
1:33:19
He was also in WCW as Tony
1:33:21
Mama Luke. Oh, okay. I remember
1:33:23
Tony. I just didn't recognize him from
1:33:25
from that. We offer behind he
1:33:27
looked like the karate kid. Yeah, right.
1:33:29
We refer to him as Matthew
1:33:31
Coon because we know that's Matt Coon
1:33:33
carrying around like he would break. Oh,
1:33:37
yeah. Tony Mama Luke. I remember
1:33:39
him. Usually when Matt Coons carrying somebody,
1:33:41
it's been through so. Again,
1:33:46
off the cuff. Five stars. Oh, in
1:33:48
the cover. One, two,
1:33:50
three. Is that it? Is
1:33:53
that elimination? Is that what it was? By the way, we're
1:33:55
going to get hate if we don't say that we're just kidding.
1:33:57
You and I both like Vince Russo. You
1:34:01
know, Russo's fans are. They
1:34:04
hear what they want to hear and then they just go on the
1:34:06
witch hunt. It's like, guys, we don't
1:34:08
have anything bad to say about Vince Russo. He's
1:34:10
always been nice to me and out of him. And
1:34:12
as far as I know, Tony and Vince are
1:34:14
friends. Always been friends. So we're
1:34:16
just busting balls and having fun. We've
1:34:18
made fun of everyone else on the
1:34:20
show and no one cared. You
1:34:26
know how to stop those creeps
1:34:28
from from shitting on us, don't
1:34:30
you? Well, I don't care
1:34:32
about them. I was just. But you
1:34:34
know how to stop them is not to
1:34:36
fucking read it. Well, that's kind of
1:34:38
our job, Tony. I
1:34:41
know that you don't subscribe to that because you
1:34:43
just think that. Money just fucking falls out of
1:34:45
the sky. But can you imagine how much more
1:34:48
successful our show would be if you use your
1:34:50
social media to, I don't know, like, you know,
1:34:52
be fucking social, promote
1:34:56
our fucking shit, and
1:34:59
a goddamn retweet. Will
1:35:01
it kill you to retweet some
1:35:03
shit that's not related to Brent Baker?
1:35:07
Jeff Jones, you gotta be running that
1:35:09
goddamn account now. And if you don't
1:35:11
start retweeting the podcast shit, I'm going
1:35:13
to change your passwords. You
1:35:18
feel better? About what?
1:35:21
OK. Well,
1:35:26
is the match over? No, he's
1:35:28
just bowing. He's thanking fans for
1:35:30
cheering for him. OK. Oh,
1:35:32
the Sicilian shooter. I like that name. Hey,
1:35:35
did you see over the weekend that there's a
1:35:37
new New Japan World Champion? I
1:35:39
did not. Belt changed hands,
1:35:41
my friend. Hmm. And who's
1:35:43
the new Japan World Champion
1:35:46
now? I'm glad you
1:35:48
asked. Mm hmm. Evil. Evil.
1:35:52
Yep. OK. It's
1:35:55
a 33 year old professional
1:35:57
wrestler. Mm hmm. Good. Big
1:35:59
part of a big time tag
1:36:01
team. And over the weekend, his tag
1:36:03
partner abandoned him. Mm hmm. And
1:36:05
turned his back. Or no,
1:36:07
he did rather. Enjoying the
1:36:10
bullet club. Mm hmm. Evil
1:36:13
joined the bullet club and
1:36:15
the next night he was
1:36:17
revealed that He has a
1:36:19
new second as well. Mm
1:36:21
-hmm the name from the
1:36:23
past but one that was
1:36:26
Very familiar with American fans.
1:36:28
Okay, and that was dick
1:36:30
to go whoa Well So
1:36:32
glad he wasn't around when
1:36:34
I was dating Lois Well,
1:36:36

looking to date a girl. Drive

1:36:52
So I heard that New
1:36:54
Japan. I think it
1:36:56
was New Japan. I read this, right? Because,
1:36:59
you know, I read the observer
1:37:01
now, but I perused the observer. In
1:37:04
other words, when he's talking about,
1:37:06
you know, UFC, I skip it.
1:37:09
Oh, yeah. I have no interest in that.
1:37:11
I get it. I skip the AW parts. Yeah.
1:37:14
I'm just kidding, Tony. So anyway, I,
1:37:16
uh, I understand that this
1:37:18
is a long way of saying this, but
1:37:20
are they getting some fans in New Japan? A
1:37:22
wrestling in front of fans now in
1:37:24
Japan? They are. The belt, the
1:37:26

what it meant, but I don't recall. What?
1:40:41
What? Yeah. I don't
1:40:43
know what it means. Did he say it was like
1:40:45
without papers or something like that? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1:40:47
That's right. Or you had a big whopping nose or
1:40:49
I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. He used to
1:40:51
tell me that they would make fun of you and
1:40:53
kick you in your little dinghy and. Yeah,
1:40:55
well, that happened. I mean, we all grew out of
1:40:57
that. You know, I get that when you're a kid. You
1:40:59
got to go through stuff like that, you know? And
1:41:02
so I get it, but it doesn't bother me now. I'm
1:41:05
a proud Italian American. You
1:41:07
should be. I wish I was.
1:41:09
Yeah, as a matter of
1:41:11
fact, if you watch the Italian
1:41:13
American documentary on PBS, it
1:41:17
starts out talking about Rosetta, Pennsylvania,
1:41:19
which is where we're from, or the
1:41:21
Shimani family's from. So look at
1:41:23
that, the green mist. The
1:41:26
green mist, like Muta. What
1:41:28
would you rather take, green or red? I
1:41:32
would write the green mist. Look the
1:41:34
crowd, dude. Look how anti -jury they are. Yeah.
1:41:37
He was there right in the stereo. Got
1:41:41
it. Evil
1:41:46
look there, too, buddy. Wow. Next
1:41:54
up, we've got Rhino and
1:41:56
the Sandman for the TV title.
1:41:59
But I think we're going to hear...
1:42:01
Just incredible in our girl here. Yeah,
1:42:03
are you ready for the verbiage in
1:42:05
this one? Boy, I don't know
1:42:07
if I am or not, but I'd like
1:42:09
to say that no, I'm not. Because
1:42:13
when I'm not prepared for it, it makes it
1:42:15
even better. I
1:42:19
reached out to Francine the other day,
1:42:21
see how she was doing during all this.
1:42:24
How is she? She's fine. She's doing
1:42:26
great. Platform
1:42:28
boys and girls. They gave
1:42:30
you a good match. Hey,
1:42:34
so yeah, the Italian like part
1:42:36
of it is green. I don't care.
1:42:38
Get out of here. I'm
1:42:41
going to go to the back. Let's
1:42:44
take a look at the replay once again.
1:42:46
Hey, there's Mike Whitbrick. Oh, they're
1:42:48
broken. He's right leg. They all fall
1:42:50
down. Hey, how you
1:42:52
doing? Hey, doing and then. Here
1:42:54
he goes, he picks him up by the seat
1:42:56
of his pants, he grabs him around his
1:42:58
waist and he tilts him over the top and
1:43:00
I say, hey, it's just like a spaghetti.
1:43:03
It just falls down in one, two, three. You're
1:43:05
out. And then I
1:43:07
put him in the cat stretcher thing,
1:43:09
the dig, whatever you call it. And
1:43:11
then he looks up and he says,
1:43:13
I'm going to go with the green
1:43:15
mist this time because he's Italian and
1:43:17
green is part of the Italian flag.
1:43:19
So I'm going to run over here
1:43:21
with the chair and I'm going to
1:43:24
go, ooh, baseball slide on the head.
1:43:27
And I'm in the midst of a,
1:43:29
yeah, I'm in the midst of a,
1:43:31
one of them replays that never ends. But
1:43:34
here we go. Ooh, in the
1:43:36
face. Hey, put that in
1:43:38
your pesto sauce, motherfucker. Down you
1:43:40
go, head first. Hey,
1:43:43
that's a spicy meatball. And
1:43:49
to Jerry is the winner. Dude,
1:43:52
again, you got to
1:43:54
be excited about the future of ECW. Kit
1:43:57
Cash, Jerry Land, Steve Green.
1:43:59
Oh, here he is. Just incredible. For
1:44:01
years, for years, the
1:44:03
pay -per -view industry has tried
1:44:05
to hold ECW down. The
1:44:08
industry has tried to
1:44:10
put their thumb on
1:44:12
ECW. Well, tonight
1:44:14
we take our gloves off. Tonight.
1:44:17
We introduce barbed wire to
1:44:19
pay per view And I got
1:44:22
to tell you something I
1:44:24
got to be honest with you.
1:44:26
I don't like it and
1:44:28
I don't like it one bit
1:44:30
I'm a trained professional wrestler.
1:44:32
I don't dive in to barbed
1:44:34
wire, but if that's what
1:44:37
I got to do To beat
1:44:39
you Tommy dreamer and to
1:44:41
walk out ECW world champion then
1:44:43
so be it How about
1:44:45
that promo I
1:44:49
didn't listen to what he said. Oh,
1:44:51
OK. Just because Francine was looking
1:44:53
right at me. You're a boob gazing.
1:44:56
No, I was looking into. No.
1:45:03
No. No. But
1:45:06
this match, after what we've
1:45:08
seen so far has to be
1:45:10
pretty damn violent, I would think.
1:45:13
I mean, it makes you wonder, like. Yeah,
1:45:16
how can they top this?
1:45:18
I mean, he stuck his wife's
1:45:20
head down the toilet. Right?
1:45:22
Yeah. And you said that her
1:45:24
kids were gagging over her
1:45:26
stinky vagina. Right. And
1:45:29
then you put you and
1:45:31
your wife through a table with
1:45:33
a gore. Mm hmm. And.
1:45:39
Even though it's a tremendous
1:45:41
entrance and I'm sure the
1:45:43
the correct music was playing
1:45:45
at the time it sucks
1:45:47
on the network If in
1:45:49
the scheme of things Okay
1:45:51
In the scheme of things
1:45:53
why would you is that
1:45:55
a juvenile he's doing it
1:45:57
too In the scheme of
1:45:59
things why would you have
1:46:01
an entrance like this? But
1:46:03
I guess you had to
1:46:05
because this was easy. That's
1:46:07
what people paid to see.
1:46:09
Yeah, I guess to see
1:46:11
the Sandman matches. No.
1:46:20
Hmm. So,
1:46:24
Tony, hmm, how
1:46:27
many nights a week are you to be staying down at
1:46:29
JR's new place at the beach? Well,
1:46:33
depending on. What
1:46:35
happens here at the
1:46:38
house during the the
1:46:40
the other weeks it
1:46:42
may be quite a
1:46:44
bit You know how
1:46:46
many cameras I've been
1:46:49
selling in the house
1:46:51
It's the ad free
1:46:53
shows calm legends house
1:46:55
The voices of your
1:46:57
childhood are the new
1:47:00
Oscar and Felix Got
1:47:07
some potential there. Got to say, dude,
1:47:09
it would be tremendous. Got
1:47:11
some potential there between you being
1:47:13
so excited to be in
1:47:15
a dog free facility, dog
1:47:18
hair free, pet dander
1:47:20
free, clean residents. And
1:47:23
you get to see at
1:47:25
least a half dozen walk
1:47:27
of shames a week. At
1:47:31
least. I
1:47:34
mean, you want to talk about. Road
1:47:37
beef. Hmm. JR
1:47:39
is probably going to have
1:47:41
like big Montana versions just rolling
1:47:43
through. Hmm. Well,
1:47:47
there's a potential for a real
1:47:49
good TV show there. I think
1:47:51
he might be the guy for
1:47:53
world's first blue chew IV patient.
1:47:59
God, God, God, God hook
1:48:01
me up, Johnny. Like
1:48:04
me. What where
1:48:06
where the fuck is Sandman
1:48:08
going here? Is he going everywhere
1:48:10
before he gets the ring?
1:48:12
He's looking for Christy myths. He
1:48:14
wants to drink beer off
1:48:16
her b -beats Okay, not really
1:48:18
that's the girl who you know
1:48:20
is there xpw or whatever. Oh,
1:48:23
okay. That's the okay now have they
1:48:25
had their Little fight yet. You're gonna
1:48:27
see a little bit of a thing
1:48:29
in the Rhino match here. He's gonna
1:48:32
Right. I was going to throw the
1:48:34
beer can in their general direction. Okay.
1:48:36
Start to take the shirt off. That's what we
1:48:38
went through. Okay. Yeah. Right. I didn't
1:48:40
know what imagine happened in. But now I know. Same
1:48:43
man just milking this entrance, isn't he? That's what they're
1:48:45
there to see, man. Wow.
1:48:51
He has a cool look though, does he
1:48:53
not? Yeah, he did. Absolutely. And
1:48:57
of course, what do we do with him? Pack.
1:49:04
In fact, you're smoking. They
1:49:07
are just eating this up, aren't they?
1:49:09
Good God. It's unlike anything I've ever
1:49:11
seen. It's hero worship like that doesn't
1:49:13
exist in other besides music. Right.
1:49:16
You know, if he's fucking lead
1:49:18
singer for Metallica, yeah, they'll do that.
1:49:20
But what else? By
1:49:24
the way, there ain't no
1:49:26
Alice security around. Now,
1:49:32
I guess that's what he wanted, right? Yeah. Yeah.
1:49:35
And by the way, he's a baby face. He
1:49:38
wouldn't hurt him. They want to drink beer with
1:49:40
him. Mm hmm. He's walking on the chairs, man.
1:49:42
Look at him. It's
1:49:47
just the cameraman of Sandman. He's pushing off
1:49:49
by the fuckers heads. I'm
1:49:57
pulling another beer out. This is his job,
1:49:59
Tony. What do
1:50:01
you do? I walk around on people's
1:50:03
heads and drink beer and hit behemoths
1:50:05
in the head as hard as I
1:50:07
can with sticks. I
1:50:09
have to say, this is one of
1:50:11
the top 10 entrances I've seen. Yeah,
1:50:14
we've been doing the show. Maybe the
1:50:16
top entrance I've seen. You
1:50:18
want to see another good entrance? Google
1:50:20
image, Christy Miss. K
1:50:23
R I S T I M Y S
1:50:25
T. Oh, well, the lady you're
1:50:27
going to see. Getting a little shoving match with
1:50:29
Francine here a little bit. And
1:50:32
there he comes. Your
1:50:34
television champion still wrestling and
1:50:36
still looks just like this. Right
1:50:39
now, that belt, by the
1:50:41
way, little piece of Conran trivia
1:50:43
for you was my very first replica
1:50:45
belt. Oh, I could have gotten the
1:50:47
world could have gotten the tag. One
1:50:49
of the TV thought the TV had the coolest
1:50:51
design. And at the time, Van
1:50:53
Damme was making it cool,
1:50:55
bought it from figure zinc. Bout
1:50:59
of the back of one of those old wrestling
1:51:01
magazines. Oh my God
1:51:03
wide open. Hmm. Hmm. You're
1:51:05
trying to graze the head, but he ain't
1:51:07
working. cracked him that
1:51:09
time. Well, you split the whole thing. Yeah.
1:51:11
Splintered it. Oh. Wow.
1:51:25
This is a. This
1:51:28
whole thing's been pretty good so
1:51:30
far. I
1:51:32
Know same man wasn't hasn't been revered
1:51:34
as one of the greatest workers in
1:51:36
the world, but this match has a
1:51:39
lot of I Don't know what the
1:51:41
word is here a lot of A
1:51:43
lot of calls to it a lot
1:51:45
of great storyline in a way. Yeah,
1:51:47
there's steaks steaks steaks. Yeah, two and
1:51:49
a half stars What else
1:51:51
were given like eight minutes and
1:51:53
thirty nine seconds and then came out
1:51:55
with three cane shots, which Rhino
1:51:57
barely even registered and then took over
1:51:59
Sam Man went to the back
1:52:01
and brought in a bicycle rack. Sandman
1:52:03
did his usual world sloppiest top
1:52:05
row Frankensteiner and bulldog on the guardrail.
1:52:08
Rhino delivered a suplex on the guardrail.
1:52:10
No heat at this point in the
1:52:12
match wasn't very good. Picked up greatly
1:52:14
with Reno and victory coming out. Victory
1:52:17
knocked out ref Mike Keener. Spike
1:52:19
deadly came out allowing Sandman of
1:52:21
spikes to the 3D spot of
1:52:23
Corona for the big Carino 3D
1:52:25
pop. Rhino Spirit
1:52:27
Spike gave him a tremendous looking pile driver
1:52:29
off the apron through a table. Sandman came back
1:52:31
with more cane shots, but Rhino blocked the
1:52:33
big leg sweep with the cane or through Sandman
1:52:36
down and pinned him after a pile driver
1:52:38
on the bike rack two and a half. So
1:52:40
the bike rack right here, it all picks up from here. And
1:52:44
by the way, he
1:52:47
called it a bike rack. And Alabama,
1:52:49
that's a guardrail. Right.
1:52:51
Now, I understand in reality, it is a
1:52:53
bike rack, but in a pro
1:52:55
wrestling context, it's just
1:52:57
a guardrail. Am rights, guardrail. That's what you
1:52:59
see on the outside there. Speaking
1:53:04
up a chair with padding on it. All
1:53:07
right. You've made it.
1:53:09
They've got that down like no thing
1:53:11
about that. There's no noise. That's
1:53:13
right. How
1:53:16
often did you used to practice hitting your friends in
1:53:18
the head with things to see what noises they would
1:53:20
make? Now we didn't do
1:53:22
things like that. We
1:53:25
didn't. We didn't do that. We just went. We
1:53:28
played army. Play
1:53:31
baseball. How do you
1:53:33
play? How do you play army? I
1:53:35
don't know. No, no, no. I know.
1:53:37
I know. Listen, everybody who's my age
1:53:39
growing up to this had like toy
1:53:42
guns. That was the thing. That's what
1:53:44
we had. You had cap guns. We
1:53:46
had fucking toy machine guns. Yeah,
1:53:48
we had cap guns. You didn't have
1:53:50
toy machine guns. You had like revolvers
1:53:52
and shit. Right. Right. My
1:53:54
point is, though, I bet some
1:53:56
of our, you know, listeners outside
1:53:58
of the United States have no
1:54:00
idea what playing army means. That
1:54:03
means you just hide the
1:54:05
hole and get underpaid and eat
1:54:07
shitty food. No, you
1:54:09
would you would team up. And
1:54:12
it would almost be like paintball
1:54:14
without paintball. You
1:54:18
would say, boom, bam. And
1:54:20
then you would argue with the
1:54:22
guy, right? You
1:54:24
go with the cap, pop out. No, I
1:54:26
shot first. You're dead. No, I shot first.
1:54:28
You're dead. No, I shot first. I heard
1:54:30
it. Well, it's only you and me here.
1:54:32
So it's your word against mine. But then
1:54:34
you get into a big argument and everybody
1:54:36
get mad and go home. Let me ask
1:54:38
you a question. Yeah. How
1:54:41
do you not remember half the WCW matches
1:54:43
you called, but you remember arguing with people
1:54:45
when you were three years old about who
1:54:47
was or wasn't pretend dad. Yeah,
1:54:50
that's a good question. I don't know. I don't
1:54:53
know. Don't know how my brain works anymore.
1:54:55
Don't remember ever doing anything with Steve Austin ever
1:54:57
asked me about a cap gun fight I
1:54:59
had when I was four. I remember
1:55:01
it vividly. It was a Tuesday. Yeah.
1:55:03
Mother had just made me a bologna sandwich. Mm
1:55:06
hmm. Dad was drinking again. That was
1:55:08
ringing again. Told you I'm playing. I
1:55:11
went out there mad because I wasn't done.
1:55:13
I wanted to watch the Lone Ranger. So
1:55:16
when I saw my friend, I said, bam, bam. And I
1:55:18
shot him and said, you're dead. And he said, no, I
1:55:20
heard it first. And then
1:55:22
he said, I got my dog here and
1:55:24
his dog was named Mutt and I had
1:55:26
my dog, which was named Ringo. And
1:55:28
then they were getting a big fucking fight. I
1:55:31
mean, really get into a fight and then
1:55:33
I would go take a baseball bat. Now
1:55:35
I'm really pissed off and I would go
1:55:37
find Mutt and I would hit him. in
1:55:39
the backside with the baseball. Just flick them
1:55:41
to get away from Ringo because they were
1:55:43
being a big, I mean, big fight. And
1:55:47
then we wouldn't speak to each other for
1:55:49
a little while. And that
1:55:51
was pretty much playing army. How
1:55:55
far into the story did you regret admitting
1:55:57
that you used to hit dogs with bats?
1:55:59
I flicked the dog off my dog. They
1:56:01
were in a fight with a baseball bat.
1:56:05
Let's get that trending. No,
1:56:08
let's not. Host
1:56:12
of the puppy brawl once
1:56:14
beat a puppy. It
1:56:17
was mud. I mean, they used to
1:56:19
those dogs. We were
1:56:21
you talking about pull apart and wrestling. Oh,
1:56:24
mutt and Ringo. A
1:56:28
lot of times we get bit. It
1:56:31
was big time fighting. Big
1:56:35
time fighting. So
1:56:43
what are you looking forward to? Has
1:56:46
he done a beer on them yet? Have
1:56:49
you missed that? I
1:56:51
thought it was at the end. Oh, is it
1:56:53
the end? OK. I thought I could be wrong. You know
1:56:55
what? I did see the beer at the very beginning when
1:56:57
he first came in. Yeah, but threw it on
1:56:59
the stand, man. I
1:57:02
thought there was another beer sitting in
1:57:04
the corner there. Yeah. Right
1:57:06
now, after winning. Drank a beer to
1:57:09
mock Sandman and then threw the
1:57:11
beer can in the direction of XPW.
1:57:13
So it's after. OK. So
1:57:16
you were saying, Jack,
1:57:18
victory. Look, Corino had
1:57:20
bled enough. Got
1:57:22
the cartoon bandage around the head. You
1:57:27
know what the old. You
1:57:30
know what they call that in wrestling? Bandage
1:57:34
around the head. No spirit
1:57:36
of 76. They
1:57:40
use a terminology the back come
1:57:42
out spirit of 76 Everybody knows
1:57:44
bandage on your head. Hmm
1:57:47
Learn something new
1:57:49
today. You've told me
1:57:51
that before but
1:57:53
mm -hmm. I'll remember
1:57:55
it now. Yep So
1:57:58
what Matt Giovanni
1:58:00
do for his birthday,
1:58:02
I don't know
1:58:04
we sent him something
1:58:06
we texting Wish
1:58:08
him happy birthday. He's
1:58:10
in New Jersey, New
1:58:12
York, New Jersey, New York, New Jersey. And
1:58:15
we're in Georgia, so I don't know. I
1:58:17
thought, you know, you'd call and talk to him.
1:58:21
Should we call him here on the show? You
1:58:23
want to? No. Hey,
1:58:27
man, you're, you're, you're pulling
1:58:29
all the levers here. Okay.
1:58:33
No, I'm not allowed to do that anymore.
1:58:35
And last time I did, Megan caught me.
1:58:39
And I wasn't allowed to pull them all in
1:58:41
labor, but she was for work. I
1:58:48
can't. I can't wait to see.
1:58:51
Who's this he's putting? Is that Spike Dudley?
1:58:56
Oh, man. They
1:58:59
took some fucking table shots in this
1:59:01
shit. Look at the crowd. Yeah,
1:59:13
this the this match even though I
1:59:15
like the story behind it and everything
1:59:17
this match is kind of really broken
1:59:19
down We're back to Kendo sticking. Oh
1:59:22
Wow, holy shit Holy
1:59:25
shit Damn, look at the
1:59:27
on that safety rail
1:59:29
look at those legs sticking
1:59:31
up you that can
1:59:33
impale a guy. Oh,
1:59:35
dude That's it. We're
1:59:38
gonna track it How
1:59:48
about that big boo? Everybody
1:59:50
was ready for Sandman. Because
1:59:52
it just felt like a national storyline after all
1:59:54
the abuse and punishment. He'd handed his wife like,
1:59:57
well, he has to go over. And
1:59:59
he didn't. And man, that
2:00:01
was he. Do
2:00:06
the unexpected sometimes. It
2:00:08
works. The TV
2:00:10
title did not change hands. And look, here's
2:00:12
the beer spot. He's going to
2:00:14
drink the beer and throw it towards XPW.
2:00:16
Let's track it. I
2:00:26
look to your right. Let's see if there
2:00:28
is anything to it. Hmm. Didn't
2:00:32
seem do it and see anything
2:00:34
crazy there. No. Oh.
2:00:39
Did they edit it out? I
2:00:41
don't know. I don't see anything at all.
2:00:43
I just know it was mentioned here in
2:00:46
the newsletter. I want to write it to
2:00:48
you. Right. Right. Coming up next, though, we've
2:00:50
got Justin credible. No,
2:00:52
I'm sorry. We've got Rob Van Dam. And
2:00:55
Scotty Anton. Scotty.
2:00:58
Scotty Riggs Anton. Anton.
2:01:01
Is it Anton or Anton? I
2:01:03
don't know. I just remember him as Scotty Riggs.
2:01:06
Yeah. By the way, he hates me
2:01:08
and Eric Bischoff now. He does.
2:01:10
Yeah. That's gotta be
2:01:12
a good story. I think we did a
2:01:14
watch along and thank you, Russell Johnny
2:01:16
Swinger or something. And we
2:01:19
didn't talk about the match much. We talked
2:01:21
about. State
2:01:24
taxes. Yes, something else. Whatever.
2:01:28
As people, as friends watching matches will do,
2:01:30
you don't always talk about the math.
2:01:32
You talk about other things, right? Well, I
2:01:34
guess someone may be smart enough and
2:01:36
said, hey, they did a watch along for
2:01:38
your match, blah, blah, blah. So
2:01:40
he listened. I
2:01:42
guess he was a little upset
2:01:44
that we didn't talk about
2:01:46
a foot over the mat. Well,
2:01:49
I better do it here. Only mad at
2:01:51
me. Well, if
2:01:53
you are, Scotty, his handle
2:01:55
is at Tony Giovanni
2:01:57
24. He's
2:02:00
on. He's on Sewell and Marietta if you
2:02:02
want to see him in person, straighten things out.
2:02:08
What's wrong with that? Well,
2:02:10
plenty wrong with that. He wants to beat the
2:02:12
shit out of you. He's gonna, you know, I
2:02:14
know you can do about it. Yeah, I guess
2:02:16
not. Just lay there and take
2:02:18
it. But I used to tell him, I
2:02:20
don't know. Maybe I can maybe I can
2:02:22
buck up somebody here. Oh, really? Can I
2:02:25
recommend that be tasks? No,
2:02:28
here's the thing. No,
2:02:32
that would have been real interesting.
2:02:35
Mm hmm. You think
2:02:37
if Taz didn't get in wrestling, he would have been in the mafia. I
2:02:39
think he would have been in the mafia. Yeah,
2:02:42
because he's Sicilian, right? I don't know, but
2:02:44
he would have been in the mafia. Yeah.
2:02:47
Of course he would.
2:02:49
I could have seen
2:02:52
Taz being like walking
2:02:54
around picking up fucking
2:02:56
envelopes all day. Yeah,
2:02:58
Taz would have been great to have been
2:03:00
cast in the Godfather movies. You
2:03:02
made him a hit man. What
2:03:04
would you have done? Yeah, he'd
2:03:06
have been a hit man. Hmm. You
2:03:09
know, with sunglasses, the hat
2:03:11
tie, you know, white shirt tie,
2:03:13
real tight, real thin tie. He'd
2:03:16
have been a hit man. With
2:03:18
huge collars. Mm hmm. I
2:03:26
can just imagine hasn't that too. Let me
2:03:28
talk to you for a second outside. Yeah.
2:03:33
You would have said. Don
2:03:36
Given. I
2:03:38
like to. On
2:03:40
the day of your daughter's
2:03:43
wet on the day of your
2:03:45
daughter's wedding, I would like To
2:03:48
give you this dowry
2:03:50
and hope that the
2:03:52
first child is a
2:03:54
masculine town Thank you
2:03:56
my good friend Luca
2:03:58
Brazzi You use the
2:04:01

2:04:03
sentence yeah, I'm asking
2:04:05

2:04:07
sentence, okay When I
2:04:09
got married there was
2:04:11
no fucking dowry, there
2:04:13
you go There you
2:04:15
go. Nailed it. OK,
2:04:17
here we go. Scott
2:04:19
and Tom. Here's our
2:04:21
man, buddy. American males.
2:04:24
American males. American
2:04:26
males. American males.
2:04:30
American males. American
2:04:32
males. American
2:04:34
males. American
2:04:37
males. American
2:04:40
males. American males. American
2:04:42
males. American males.
2:04:44
males. American males. American
2:04:47
males. American males.
2:04:50
Why is his hair wet? American
2:04:52
males. That kid at the
2:04:54
front, man, just popping the bird. Jesus
2:04:57
Christ. Must really hate it.
2:05:00
They're doing the American Males deal.
2:05:03
Scotty, you should have called in sick, man.
2:05:05
They were at what? OK. That's
2:05:07
a big sign. Mm hmm.
2:05:11
All right. In
2:05:14
fairness. A lot of
2:05:16
fans at the time were very critical
2:05:18
of this because they felt like Scotty
2:05:20
was only here because he was friends
2:05:22
with Rob Van Damme. And if they
2:05:24
were excited to see Rob on pay
2:05:26
-per -view, but not
2:05:28
necessarily against Scotty. OK. Big
2:05:32
pop, man, when he's music hit. Huge pop.
2:05:34
He's their biggest star and it ain't close. Man,
2:05:50
is it just me or did
2:05:52
sometimes the stars? Feel
2:05:56
like a bigger deal in this era. I
2:05:58
think I don't think that's because there's
2:06:00
any less talent. I just think
2:06:02
it's the way social media has
2:06:04
changed at all. Like you just saw
2:06:06
those people's faces and their reactions
2:06:08
when they came out. And it was
2:06:10
like there was a Rob Van
2:06:12
Damme's here. And they
2:06:14
knew it was there, but they were excited
2:06:16
to hear that music, even though they knew who
2:06:18
the opponent was. When he comes
2:06:21
through the curtain, there was another pop.
2:06:23
They were just excited to see him.
2:06:25
And I feel like maybe some of that
2:06:27
is a little diminished because of the
2:06:29
access we have to social media. We
2:06:31
know where everybody is and what their real
2:06:33
life looks like. And they just for
2:06:35
me feel more familiar. Yeah,
2:06:39
it's because of the
2:06:41
social media knowledge. Well, you
2:06:43
could say the Internet
2:06:46
has as oversaturated things now.
2:06:48
It really has. Yeah,
2:06:50
I mean I go back
2:06:53
to Where this is really
2:06:55
don't fall asleep on this
2:06:57
but I go back to
2:06:59
when I used to watch
2:07:01
baseball on TV and Watching
2:07:03
a game on TV was
2:07:05
special because you only saw
2:07:07
it on Saturdays now you
2:07:09
see every game every game
2:07:11
and It's just not it's
2:07:13
not special anymore. It just
2:07:15
Just different times are different
2:07:19
And again, it makes me feel
2:07:21
very, very happy. And I
2:07:23
do that I grew up in
2:07:25
that era. I'm glad I was
2:07:27
able to witness that. Sure. And
2:07:30
I'm glad that I'm the age I am
2:07:32
now, so that I'm going to be gone
2:07:34
very soon. And stop, stop, stop. Why aren't
2:07:36
you saying that? Well, that won't have to
2:07:38
see the mess that this world has become
2:07:40
because it's a fucking mess. It
2:07:43
is. It's a fucking mess. Listen. I don't want you
2:07:45
to talk like you're not going to be here much longer.
2:07:47
If we've got to suffer through this, you do too. Hmm.
2:07:50
A and B hypothetically, when you die
2:07:52
next year, what am I getting in
2:07:54
the wheel? Oh,
2:07:56
you're going to be you're going to be the executor. Does
2:08:00
that mean I get anything cool? Well, yeah,
2:08:02
I mean, you'll you'll be able
2:08:04
to go to the attic. Obviously,
2:08:06
it's cool. Yeah, right. Search,
2:08:08
search around for the belt. I'll send
2:08:10
someone. Of course you. I'll
2:08:13
bring I'll bring Clint over. And
2:08:15
me and Lois will sit down
2:08:17
stairs, which which reminds me an
2:08:19
ice cream. I've climbed around it,
2:08:21
which reminds me. I know you
2:08:23
you and the missus recently went
2:08:25
to North Carolina visitor mom. Yes.
2:08:28
Why would you drive? Why
2:08:30
don't you? Take
2:08:32
a helicopter. I
2:08:35
don't get that. Well, you
2:08:37
know, there's the whole not knowing anybody
2:08:39
with a helicopter thing. Well.
2:08:44
You haven't looked, have you? I
2:08:47
don't get that. I mean, we're driving. I'm thinking, the
2:08:49
Thompson's are driving. That just doesn't
2:08:51
fit. Well, A, my
2:08:54
wife wants to drive. Oh,
2:08:56
she doesn't feel comfortable in
2:08:58
an airplane right now. Oh,
2:09:00
well, I get that. But I was just talking about like
2:09:03
a helicopter with you two and a pilot. We have. Why
2:09:06
are you trying to put me in a helicopter with
2:09:08
my daughter? You trying
2:09:10
to copy Brian me? No, I'm not trying to
2:09:12
do that at all. I knew you were
2:09:14
going to say something that that morbid, but no,
2:09:17
I'm just saying. Hearing you
2:09:19
guys travel, which had to be
2:09:21
seven hours. Yeah. OK,
2:09:23
in a car just doesn't work.
2:09:26
For my visual of the Conrad
2:09:29
Thompson family. Well, it's
2:09:31
funny you say that because when
2:09:33
I was about halfway there and
2:09:35
I said, you know what, I
2:09:37
think I'm buying a sprinter. And
2:09:40
we're going to get a driver.
2:09:42
And we're going to sit in the
2:09:44
back and watch Netflix and drink. Yeah.
2:09:47
And then show up in our own little
2:09:49
party bus. There you go. Is
2:09:51
that more Conrad's speed? Yes, it is.
2:09:53
Well, you figured me out, buddy.
2:09:55
Come through Marietta next time. Pick
2:09:57
me up. Pick me up. Pick
2:09:59
me up. Hang on a second
2:10:01
now. I've got to give Scotty Riggs
2:10:03
and Tandy's do here or get
2:10:06
pissed off at me. Yeah, you
2:10:08
better talk about the match a lot. I
2:10:10
need to. I mean, I already got we already
2:10:12
got task pissed off at me for no
2:10:14
apparent reason. And now. OK,
2:10:16
has been for a real reason. Well,
2:10:19
I know that. No, he just
2:10:21
won't. He told me you were nothing
2:10:23
happening, son of a bitch. Really?
2:10:25
Yeah. Yeah. Well, he's bullshit, Jones.
2:10:27
How's that? Oh, I don't think
2:10:29
he'd like that. He said that. OK.
2:10:33
I don't think you appreciate that one bit. Hmm.
2:10:38
I hear taz in here to fuck
2:10:40
around on a Wednesday's. Taz
2:10:43
never here to fuck around, buddy.
2:10:45
Not a Wednesday's. Nope.
2:10:48
Or Thursday's. Where's
2:10:50
he at on Friday? I don't
2:10:52
I don't follow him. I don't know. I'm
2:10:54
gonna check in with him. I bet he fucks around on Friday.
2:10:57
I might. So that's the word,
2:10:59
right? It was more of a Van Damme
2:11:01
one man. Let me just start this
2:11:03
over, fellas. It was more
2:11:05
a Van Damme one man show. That
2:11:08
was fucking weird to say. Mm hmm.
2:11:10
Then a match. Although Van Dam gave Anton
2:11:12
a lot of offense. It's just that
2:11:14
nobody bought it. So the match
2:11:16
dragged badly when Anton was on
2:11:18
offense. Van Dam did enough. One man
2:11:20
shows by that it was still entertaining. He
2:11:23
did a moonsault block off the apron. He did
2:11:25
a press slam and then a backflip on Anton. Anton
2:11:27
took over throwing a chair at Van Dam's head,
2:11:29
which gave Van Dam a slight cut, which appeared
2:11:32
to be hard way. Van Dam
2:11:34
took a nasty bump off the ropes to
2:11:36
the floor. Anton bulldogged him on the guardrail
2:11:38
and gave him a DDT. Van Dam took
2:11:40
over with a few more hot moves until
2:11:42
Anton cut him off and used the scorpion
2:11:44
death lock. Fonzie got on the
2:11:46
apron and Anton blocked it when after him
2:11:48
setting up the van, the dominator followed
2:11:50
by a five star frog splash two thirds
2:11:52
of the way across the ring. And
2:11:54
in finishing with the van terminator, which is
2:11:56
a springboard drop kick into a chair
2:11:58
from one side of the ring all the
2:12:00
way to the other three stars. So
2:12:03
you hear it's just high spot city for
2:12:05
Van Dam one after another. It doesn't
2:12:07
feel like they give Rob a whole lot
2:12:09
here and. Well,
2:12:12
you know, we've seen Rob Van Dam matches
2:12:14
also before that were just nothing but a
2:12:16
high spot, high spot, high spot. That's what
2:12:18
they're paying to see. That's right. I was
2:12:20
getting ready to say the same thing. That's what they want. Yeah.
2:12:24
He just took a bow. He just
2:12:26
literally took a bow in the ring for all the
2:12:28
high spots. So there you go. You get what
2:12:30
you want. I
2:12:32
mean, you can't always get what you want. But
2:12:35
if you try, sometimes you
2:12:37
might find. Get what
2:12:39
you need. Oh, you know about that.
2:12:41
I do. I do. OK. Oh.
2:12:54
Tony, when
2:12:59
are we going to go by the cars together? No,
2:13:01
no, I've got I've got. I
2:13:04
bought two new cars within the last three
2:13:06
years and I've got to hold off a little
2:13:08
bit. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, yeah.
2:13:10
We got a horseman moment. Listen, you went and
2:13:12
bought a new car without me. So now
2:13:14
you got to pay a tax on that. You
2:13:16
got to go buy another one with me so we can
2:13:18
go buy new cars together. Mm hmm. What
2:13:20
do you want to buy? I don't want to
2:13:22
buy anything. I just want to be like a
2:13:25
horseman like you are. Just go buy new cars
2:13:27
and just get multiples or whatever, like y 'all
2:13:29
used to do. Remember? No, I
2:13:31
don't remember. No, you used to tell me that you
2:13:33
used to go down there with Dusty and flair
2:13:35
and now it's like, give me one of everything. No,
2:13:37
they may have done that, but I
2:13:39
wasn't part of that. No, I was always
2:13:42
been a family man. No, you told
2:13:44
me back then you had that sweet, sweet
2:13:46
Crockett money. No, squeak,
2:13:49
squeak Crockett money. There
2:13:52
is there is sweet, sweet and squeak,
2:13:55
squeak. Yeah. Yeah. And
2:13:59
forward roll. Well,
2:14:02
if they're giving Scotty some offense, I haven't
2:14:04
seen it yet. No, they're not. That's my point.
2:14:06
He's just a fucking tackling dummy for all
2:14:08
Van Damme here. Yeah. We
2:14:11
know it's not fair. He's a
2:14:13
very talented performer. Well, he
2:14:15
is. I mean, listen, I thought I
2:14:17
just wanted to keep him out of a
2:14:19
DM. Well, no, I thought he listened.
2:14:21
I thought he was for the American males.
2:14:23
I thought he was the best of
2:14:25
the two. Yes. Bagwell had all the bag
2:14:28
had all the hub, but Scotty was
2:14:30
better. Yeah. He
2:14:32
would have been
2:14:35
better on that
2:14:37
jiggler shot to
2:14:40
about anybody would
2:14:42
have I hung
2:14:44
out with David
2:14:47
player this weekend
2:14:49
Boy, that's a
2:14:51
party killer He
2:14:54
has an afro
2:14:56
now good for
2:14:58
him an afro
2:15:02
I'm not kidding. Like,
2:15:05
dude, it's he looks like. Who
2:15:08
was that actor in all those movies? He was
2:15:10
fat and then got skinny and fat again. He was
2:15:12
great. Jonah Hill. Hmm. It's
2:15:16
just like Jonah Hill. Well, tell
2:15:18
David with that with that Afro, what
2:15:20
he should have done was spray painted orange
2:15:22
and put a red nose on in
2:15:24
big shoes. Because
2:15:28
that's what I think about every time I
2:15:30
think of him. And think about what he
2:15:32
had in his life and he pissed it
2:15:34
all away. You know, I used to agree
2:15:36
with that. The more I
2:15:38
hang out with his kids, the more I
2:15:40
like the way it turned out. Really?
2:15:42
Yeah, he's got some great kids. I
2:15:46
think I think his daughter is
2:15:48
the best athlete in the entire
2:15:50
flair family tree. Oh,
2:15:52
really? No shit. Oh,
2:15:54
she's a goddamn thoroughbred. And
2:15:57
thankfully, his son has.
2:15:59
A personality 10 times bigger
2:16:01
than his. Huh?
2:16:05
His son's going to be like salesman of the century. Wow.
2:16:10
But here's the thing. He got the best of
2:16:12
both worlds. Not only did he get that,
2:16:14
but he also got Stacey Keyboard Stank on his
2:16:16
hangline once. Once more
2:16:18
than once. At least once a day. I
2:16:22
would have missed bookings. You're
2:16:26
booked on top tonight. I'm
2:16:33
busy But there you go,
2:16:35
that's that's in the past
2:16:37
and now here we are
2:16:39
in the future Let's take
2:16:42
a look at the extreme
2:16:44
replay once again as Scotty
2:16:46
Anton is Gonna get one
2:16:48
of his only offensive moves
2:16:50
the night Maybe not here
2:16:53
comes. Oh
2:16:55
fuck it is That's
2:16:58
pretty fucking good. That's
2:17:00
fucking bulldog on the
2:17:03
top of the
2:17:05
safety as Dave Meltzer
2:17:07
calls bicycle rail
2:17:09
You still with me,
2:17:11

2:17:13
something once you what's
2:17:16

2:17:35
What's she doing? Okay. My
2:17:37
goodness. I.
2:17:42
She's okay. You know,
2:17:44
she the bicycle wreck really,
2:17:46
really slowed her down. Really
2:17:48
did because it was a pretty
2:17:50
bad break near her shoulder and she
2:17:53
couldn't drive for like eight weeks.
2:17:55
And I had to drive around and
2:17:58
Lot of doctors appointments and chiropractic appointments
2:18:00
and So it was it wasn't
2:18:02
easy on either one of us, but
2:18:04
she's you know, she's She's hanging
2:18:06
in there. I guess that's good to
2:18:08
hear man You know, we have
2:18:10
a we really do have a good
2:18:12
relationship. You know, we kind of
2:18:14
have our own parts of the house
2:18:16
You know Like and I said
2:18:18
it before it's like I mean we've
2:18:20
been married 39 years. It's more
2:18:22
like brother and sister now that his
2:18:24
husband and wife Right, especially with
2:18:26
the other sex I'll have. Right.
2:18:31
And so, yeah, she's in here. We
2:18:33
got two little puppies we love and
2:18:36
had a lot more when the shift
2:18:38
started, but slowly but surely Lois is
2:18:40
taking care of that. We
2:18:45
want to get some more dogs. Don't
2:18:47
know if we'll be able to or not.
2:18:49
No, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't
2:18:51
do that. No, we want to. But, but you
2:18:53
know, you saw, you saw to either one
2:18:55
that had the hair going everywhere. Yeah, you
2:18:58
look like a mangy mutt. Yeah, the mangy
2:19:00
mutt. Chewy is not good with other dogs. He's
2:19:02
good with bugging. That's it. And we want
2:19:04
to get self. Have you seen this fucking
2:19:06
hair? Yeah, I do every day. And
2:19:09
I just we get another dog
2:19:11

2:19:13
we want to get some more
2:19:15
dogs. We think we just need more
2:19:17
dogs. We want to rescue more
2:19:19
dogs. But how about that? Belly to
2:19:21
back. Hypothetically, are you going to
2:19:23
hit any of those dogs with bats?
2:19:25
No, I'm not. I'm
2:19:28
not. Well, don't don't touch

2:19:39
little thing that I took a baseball
2:19:41
bat and shoot a dog away with
2:19:44
it. He was beating my dog. And
2:19:46
now you're saying, see. OK.
2:19:49
Hey, let's talk about something a little lighter that
2:19:51
we can all agree on. What's that? Later
2:19:54

2:19:56

2:19:58

Living rooms, bedrooms, dinettes.
2:20:26
Oh yeah, you can find
2:20:28
them at the market. We're
2:20:30
talking about flea market Montgomery.
2:20:33
It's just like, it's just
2:20:35
like a mini mall. Oh
2:20:37
yeah, come shop with
2:20:39
us. I said flea market
2:20:41
Montgomery. It's just like, it's
2:20:43
just like a mini mall.
2:20:45
Hey hey, you heard me, come
2:20:48

2:20:50
We got it. Can
2:20:52

2:20:56
You see it. You find it. It's
2:20:58
just like, it's just like amen. What
2:21:00
are you saying, Tony? You
2:21:02
heard me. I can't wait is what I'm saying. And
2:21:05
you better cut this music
2:21:07
off. Oh, man. I don't
2:21:09
want. I want Scotty and Tony
2:21:11
to be mad at me because that was pretty
2:21:14
good. Drop kick on head. I forgot. Sorry, Scotty. Drop
2:21:17
kick with him. You know, his
2:21:19
head was over and. That should
2:21:21
be over in front of the
2:21:23
enemy right there. All
2:21:26
right, guys, I got to admit as a
2:21:29
small business owner, I paid my fair share of
2:21:31
stupid tax along the way. One
2:21:33
of the things I did is I trusted
2:21:35
my TV and radio rips who had
2:21:37
served me well when they came to buying
2:21:39
radio and TV. And
2:21:41
then they tried to sell me digital and I
2:21:43
fell for it. And I thought, hey, man, this
2:21:45
guy knows all about advertising. He knows what he's
2:21:47
doing. It
2:21:50
turns out those people who work
2:21:52
at the radio stations and TV
2:21:54
stations who are trying to sell
2:21:56
you digital. And what I mean
2:21:58
is Hulu ads, Amazon ads, YouTube
2:22:00
ads, maybe SEO, maybe pay per
2:22:03
click, targeted display. Have you heard
2:22:05
any of this before? Of
2:22:07
course you have. But the people who were pitching
2:22:09
that to you. And they're just trying to
2:22:11
make a commission off of you. They don't know
2:22:13
what works and what doesn't work. Besides, they
2:22:15
find themselves in your office first to sell you
2:22:17
radio or TV. This is just to
2:22:19
see if they can squeeze you anymore. What
2:22:21
you need is a professional. I
2:22:23
mean, listen, if you broke your arm, would you run
2:22:25
down to Jiffy Lube for a solution? No.
2:22:28
So why would you think that you're
2:22:30
going to buy digital from a
2:22:32
radio company? Why would you buy internet
2:22:35
advertising from a TV company? Go
2:22:37
with who you know, like and trust.
2:22:39
And for me, that's Eric Nichols
2:22:41
at Envision Marketing Consultants. He helped me
2:22:43
with my mortgage company and he
2:22:45

out of that
2:24:41
Fucking leak in

2:24:50
hundred dollars a
2:24:53
week. I did
2:24:55
it out those
2:24:57
for you. He
2:25:00
probably told you to kill
2:25:02
yourself. Yeah, that's what he did.
2:25:04
basement When are we going
2:25:06
to get when are we going
2:25:08
to get new cars? We're
2:25:11

2:25:13

2:25:15
know what the next car
2:25:17
I'm going to get is
2:25:19
if I'm still alive That's
2:25:21
gonna be a Shelby Mustang
2:25:23
Hey called him look at
2:25:25
that nicely done whoo the
2:25:27
scorpion dislike or the shop
2:25:29
shooter or whatever you want
2:25:32
to call it, the Boston
2:25:34
Crab. Yeah,
2:25:38
Fonzie. What's
2:25:40
Fonzie doing now? Uh,
2:25:43
he's still around. I don't know what his
2:25:45
profession is. He's not in the business anymore,
2:25:47
obviously. Hmm.
2:25:51
Whoa. Wow. That's
2:25:54
pretty fucking cool right there. Van
2:26:04
Dampe could do some good stuff, man. He
2:26:11
was arguably one
2:26:13
of the biggest baddest.
2:26:17
You know, I've still been looking,
2:26:19
of course, we're getting not that far
2:26:21
away from the end of the show.
2:26:24
I'm still looking for the X, whatever
2:26:26
they are. And I guess they were
2:26:28
edited out or we haven't seen them
2:26:30
or it doesn't even really fucking matter
2:26:32
now. But. The interesting backstory to all
2:26:34
that. The incident happens with Francine. She's
2:26:37
in the next match. OK,
2:26:39
and the incident. I'm just
2:26:41
saying, though, at this point, not
2:26:43
only is Rob Van Damme the most
2:26:46
over guy in ECW. I
2:26:49
mean, I think he's. I
2:26:53
mean, you guys had a couple of guys over
2:26:55
in 2000. Booker T. Goldberg.
2:27:01
Sting. And
2:27:03
then, you know, I would say.
2:27:08
Rock. Triple
2:27:11
H. Mm hmm. And
2:27:14
Van Dale is going to be in that list somewhere. Mm
2:27:17
hmm. Yeah. Yeah,
2:27:19
I get that for the
2:27:21
exception of, you know, 2000
2:27:23
is not a good memory
2:27:25
for me. What's
2:27:29
what's what's Fonzie doing here? Rather
2:27:34
interesting little setup here.
2:27:38
How about that? Rolling
2:27:41
thunder all the way across the
2:27:43
ring. Onto a
2:27:45
chair, onto a human with the
2:27:47
assist from Collins. Yeah. Another
2:27:53
Rob Van Damme high spot,
2:27:55
right? Yeah.
2:27:58
Yeah. He's
2:28:05
so talented, dude. Yeah,
2:28:07
he was. Well,
2:28:11
speaking of talent, I
2:28:13
recently saw what I believe to be
2:28:15
one of the funniest videos in the history
2:28:17
of the Internet. And
2:28:21
I think we should link it on our
2:28:23
Twitter, share it
2:28:25
a link of Neil over
2:28:27
on Patreon, too. But
2:28:30
since you an email. Yeah,
2:28:33
I think you texted it to me,
2:28:35
didn't you? No, I was in an email.
2:28:38
An email? Yeah. And
2:28:42
I'm going to play it here, but
2:28:44
it's from a fellow named Mark on YouTube.
2:28:47
And he has a green
2:28:49
screen behind him that's projecting
2:28:51
images of flamingos in front
2:28:53
of him. He has a
2:28:55
DJ keyboard. They sold a
2:28:57
microphone. And this
2:28:59
is a live
2:29:02
recording of I'm
2:29:04
a flamingo. Mm
2:29:06
-hmm Here
2:29:16
I go, I'm gonna peacefully
2:29:18
drink, yo. I'm slowly creeping up
2:29:20
to your front yard. Nothing
2:29:22
threatening here, I'm just a flamingo.
2:29:24
I'm a flamingo and I'm
2:29:26
coming up to you. Oh, is
2:29:28
that your child? I'ma rip
2:29:30
out his motherfucking eyeballs. I'm
2:29:33
gonna rip out his goddamn
2:29:35
eyeball. I'm a flamingo, I'ma
2:29:37
rip out your eyeball. I'm
2:29:39
a flamingo and I'll get up
2:29:41
in your child's eyeball. No more eyeball,
2:29:43
child bitch. It's
2:30:00
one thing to hear it. It's another to see
2:30:02
it, isn't it, Tony? Oh,
2:30:07
God. That
2:30:11
turn, that turned violent
2:30:13
quickly. Ryan, I need
2:30:15
a flamingo shirt. Let's
2:30:18
make it pink with black letters or
2:30:20
black with pink letters. Megan's
2:30:25
favorite part. He's
2:30:27
talking about ripping the kid's
2:30:29
eye. No, you
2:30:31
child, bitch. Child,
2:30:34
bitch. So
2:30:38
random, so great, just like
2:30:40
what happened when, by the
2:30:42
way, because he's setting up the
2:30:44
van Terminator. You're about
2:30:46
to be very impressed. I want
2:30:48
to track it here. This is the
2:30:50
first time this happened, I believe. Here we go. It's
2:30:55
a thumbs down
2:30:57
for Scotty Antone!
2:30:59
And here comes...
2:31:01
What is the
2:31:03
Vantaminator? Holy
2:31:15
shit! How
2:31:18
about that, dude? First ever Vantaminat... Vent
2:31:20
terminator nobody's ever seen somebody jump from
2:31:23
one side of the ring all the way
2:31:25
to the other and there's a chair. Unreal
2:31:28
dude. Yeah,
2:31:35
I know kicking out of that.
2:31:37
Nope. What a move,
2:31:39
dude. Look at the crowd. He's
2:31:41
a huge star, man. Deservedly
2:31:44
so. I
2:31:47
got plenty of time here. Nineteen minutes
2:31:49
and two seconds. It's
2:31:53
pretty good match. Really was. I
2:31:55
mean, obviously it was mostly Rob
2:31:57
Van Dam, but still was pretty
2:31:59
good match. I'm
2:32:03
still got our main event to go.
2:32:05
Stairway to hell. Just incredible
2:32:07
and Tommy Dreamer. Going
2:32:10
to get two and a quarter stars. By
2:32:13
the way, the Van Dam, Scotty
2:32:15
Anton match, only three stars. He
2:32:17
liked the to jury match better
2:32:19
and. Of course, you like
2:32:21
Jerry Leon and Steve Green up better. Yeah,
2:32:23
that was the best one. That
2:32:26
was the best one. Now,
2:32:29
this final match,
2:32:31
I watched most of
2:32:34
it. Oh, really? And
2:32:36
there was some really off,
2:32:38
I don't know, off color, off
2:32:40
the cuff. Do you want
2:32:42
me to play the commentary when
2:32:44
Francine's coming to the ring? It's
2:32:46
not good. I
2:32:48
mean... I know what they're
2:32:51
saying. It's a play on
2:32:53
words. OK. Yeah. But.
2:32:56
And it started with, you know, Don
2:32:58
Marie and. Oh,
2:33:01
I got you. She's on the stick. Mm
2:33:04
hmm. By the
2:33:06
way, how many times are you going to sing? Flaminga.
2:33:14
Oh, you should show that video to Lois.
2:33:16
See what she thinks. You
2:33:19
know what she'll say that's that's
2:33:21
stupid. Yeah, she really she She
2:33:23
does not have the sense of
2:33:25
humor that we do which is
2:33:27
very apparent So this is going
2:33:29
to be a stairway to hell
2:33:31
match for the world title for
2:33:33
the first time we are going
2:33:35
to use I understand Barb wire
2:33:37
And what is it? How do
2:33:39
you win this match? Let's be
2:33:41
clear. Barbar had been used on
2:33:43
Pay Per View before. They even
2:33:45
used it the year prior in
2:33:47
WCW when it was a bar
2:33:49
bar steel cage first blood match
2:33:51
with Rick Flair and Hulk Hogan.
2:33:54
And they used it in the very first Pay Per
2:33:56
View, barely legal. Mm hmm. I'm
2:33:58
saying all that to say This is
2:34:00
the first time it was advertised ahead
2:34:02
of time for ECW. Gotcha.
2:34:05
But it's not. I'm only clarifying
2:34:07
the WCW thing, because I think in the promo, he
2:34:10
said, we're going to introduce Barbed
2:34:12
wire to pay for review, But it did
2:34:14
already happen. He's going to make introduce
2:34:16
it advertised in a match for ECW, But
2:34:19
but it happened
2:34:21
before. Mm hmm.
2:34:26
There he is. That's
2:34:29
my world title baby. Is
2:34:31
it really? Yeah. And
2:34:33
That's, uh, they're still doing
2:34:35
the package here. Who's this girl with
2:34:37
him? Is that jazz? That's jazz
2:34:39
former NWA women's champion. And WWE. All
2:34:42
right, here we go. We'll
2:34:44
track it. The stairway to
2:34:46
hell match up barbed wire
2:34:48
finally comes to pay for
2:34:50
Tommy Dreamer looking for revenge,
2:34:52
redemption and validation. He wants
2:34:54
what he feels is fully
2:34:56
his. The ECW World Title.
2:34:59
try something. Who really cares what
2:35:01
you think? Aubrey, who's your pick
2:35:03
for this tournament matchup? Anyone not
2:35:06
in quarantine? Of course. There
2:35:09
you go. a heat there. Oh, yeah. What
2:35:11
a heat. The lady's dressing room. You think so?
2:35:13
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've heard that. That's
2:35:15
because I'm really hot. What do
2:35:17
you mean, Mr. I'm really hot. What
2:35:21
were you, idiot? This
2:35:23
is just a shameless excuse to have
2:35:25
her on level. This whole thing. This is
2:35:27
my, this is a tremendous lady's bitter.
2:35:29
I mean, these, I mean, I mean, this
2:35:31
is a demographic that we're going after.
2:35:33
I'm a demographic. Oh, yeah. Whatever
2:35:35
that means. I'm a demographic. demographic.
2:35:39
Would you stop treating her like an
2:35:41
object that's disgusting? There's
2:35:43
nothing disgusting about me, Joey. German
2:35:46
eels and quarks. It's
2:35:50
not coffee, Nielsen, like I said. Would
2:35:52
you leave her quarks out of this, please?
2:35:55
No, I do not want
2:35:57
to talk about her quarks. quarks. I wrestle. You
2:36:13
know, if she wants to talk about her box,
2:36:15
let her talk about her box. Yeah. You
2:36:17
didn't like that. Yeah, I was just
2:36:19
kind of stupid. I thought you
2:36:21
were getting excited about seeing. No, I
2:36:23
was. Francine just showed us where baby came
2:36:25
from. Well, yeah, Francine, no one could
2:36:27
get into the ring like Francine. She
2:36:30
knew how to get into the ring. And
2:36:33
that's one the things I loved about her. You're
2:36:40
more into baby shoes or dookie shoes? I'm
2:36:43
sorry what I didn't say
2:36:45
anything Now there you see
2:36:47
the okay I'm still trying
2:36:49
to process what you just
2:36:51
There you see the barbed
2:36:53
wire above the ring now
2:36:55
just incredible It looked like
2:36:57
it was his when he
2:36:59
looked in the camera was
2:37:01
his right eye hurt or
2:37:03
is that like a Oh,
2:37:05
yeah. I mean, it looks
2:37:07
like somebody hit him in
2:37:09
the head with a second
2:37:11
porcane. Yeah. Or maybe it
2:37:13
looked like maybe it's a
2:37:15
good eye or blood shot.
2:37:17
He's got a busted blood
2:37:20
vessels in his eye. Sure.
2:37:22
Or our contact lens. I
2:37:24
don't know. So
2:37:30
this is your main event. Stay
2:37:32
away from the world title champs out
2:37:34
first. Tommy dreamers going to
2:37:37
come next. Mm hmm. Keep your
2:37:39
eyes on Francine at some point. She's
2:37:41
jacking off the stick here
2:37:43
when she's going to respond to
2:37:45
the whole top gimmick and
2:37:47
look who it is. Jazz hanging
2:37:49
out with Tommy Dreamer. He
2:37:52
really was a big Dusty Reds man. Yes,
2:37:57
he was. Tommy
2:38:09
Dreamer, of course, a part
2:38:11
of Busted Open with your old
2:38:13
pal, Dave LaGreca. Yeah, Dave
2:38:15
LaGreca is a friend of the
2:38:17
show, Tommy Dreamer. And of
2:38:19
course, everybody's favorite, Mark Henry. And
2:38:23
Mark Henry doesn't just take
2:38:25
Dave LaGreca. So
2:38:29
they're pointing. Gorgeous
2:38:32
George from WCW. Wow.
2:38:36
And no match, your man, Randy Savage
2:38:38
around. Nope. She
2:38:40
looks kind of rough here. Well,
2:38:42
that's rude. No, she does.
2:38:44
I mean, she was when she was in
2:38:46
W. She
2:38:49
appeared in the WCW movie just
2:38:51
about the time this thing was on
2:38:53
the air. Why
2:38:56
are you mad at her? I'm mad at
2:38:58
her. I'm just saying that this is nothing.
2:39:00
I don't know. Oh,
2:39:02
there she goes. See Francine say
2:39:04
something. She's
2:39:11
told somebody to fuck off. Well,
2:39:13
that's probably a usual normal thing, isn't
2:39:15
it? Well, of course it is. I
2:39:17
mean, your wife tells you to fuck off all the
2:39:19
time. Yeah, that's an that's an
2:39:21
usual normal thing. You
2:39:23
would be right. What's the most you fucked off
2:39:25
in a day? Oh,
2:39:28
I fucked off entire weekends.
2:39:30
Really? Oh, yeah. Whole weekends of
2:39:32
straight fuck. Just nothing. Oh,
2:39:35
what was that like? Just
2:39:37
doing nothing. But what was it like? But
2:39:40
I don't it's like doing nothing. Okay,
2:39:42
sit down You check you see if
2:39:44
you got messages check email You play
2:39:46
little video games, maybe go out walk
2:39:48
the dog. What are you playing now?
2:39:51
I know you were doing dead red
2:39:53
redemption or whatever. Yeah, I'm still doing
2:39:55
that It's like it's gonna take me
2:39:57
800 hours every bit of it Wait,
2:39:59
who's got that kind of goddamn time?
2:40:01
Well, no one does so that's why
2:40:03
I do it in you know, I'm
2:40:05
not I'll do it in The most
2:40:07
I'll sit down and play a video
2:40:09
game is two hours. Two
2:40:11
hours per day, every day, 60 hours.
2:40:14
No, no, no. Some days I go sometimes
2:40:16
I go weeks without playing it. You
2:40:19
just can't do it. I mean, you say you
2:40:21
go weeks without playing with it. Without
2:40:23
playing Red Dead Redemption 2. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
2:40:25
don't know what the name of the game is. R
2:40:28
.D. D2. That
2:40:30
dude was in Star Wars, wasn't he? R
2:40:33
.D. D2. OK. R .D.
2:40:35
R2. I don't know anything about
2:40:37
R2. I know you don't. Okay, but
2:40:39
now this match should be getting
2:40:41
underway here very soon. Was he the
2:40:43
gold one or the little egg
2:40:45
shaped vacuum trash can? He was neither
2:40:47
one. Okay. One of
2:40:49
them was gold and one of
2:40:51
was trash. In RDR2, the
2:40:53
hero's name is Arthur Morgan. Arthur.
2:40:57
And Arthur is an outlaw, but
2:40:59
he's an outlaw with a conscience.
2:41:02
In space though, but this happens
2:41:04
in space. No, that happens
2:41:06
on happens in right after the Civil
2:41:08
War. He's a little robot, though,
2:41:10
in space on a ship with laser.
2:41:12
But meanwhile, in the
2:41:14
in the ring right now,
2:41:17
we got a couple of
2:41:19
guys. Look, look, look, everybody
2:41:21
standing up for extreme championship
2:41:23
wrestling. champion.
2:42:08
the San Man is here and a few too
2:42:10
many beers with fans at ringside. Apparently
2:42:19
a drunk and fan at ringside put
2:42:21
his hands on Francine and his friends are
2:42:23
being escorted out of the building by
2:42:25
East NW Security. I can't really blame him,
2:42:27
mean I like the white rockin' hands.
2:42:29
Excuse me, I can't see or possibly think
2:42:32
of any reason why someone would want
2:42:34
to put their hands on that. Well, what
2:42:36
do you think? I think Taz is
2:42:38
a sweetie pie. Well,
2:42:41
you're dead. That's
2:42:44
what the sign says. What
2:42:47
the hell? Wow
2:42:49
that that's got that's got of physical
2:42:51
there, didn't it? And you
2:42:54
see the guys that were doing the
2:42:56
X with their arms. they were
2:42:58
the they were the yeah, the Yeah
2:43:00
Wow It
2:43:03
just completely shut down this match, didn't
2:43:05
it? Yeah, mean there wasn't anything they could
2:43:07
really do right I guess, but yeah,
2:43:10
it totally shut everything down. Francine's there, they
2:43:12
just moved the belt Credible just sitting
2:43:14
in a chair in the middle, they moved
2:43:16
the chair out, now. they're going to
2:43:18
get started. Well, now
2:43:20
there was a big
2:43:22
crowd. Tommy
2:43:37
Dreamer is speeding off this. This
2:43:39
show of solidarity by the ease
2:43:41
of your locker room is speeding
2:43:43
Tommy Dreamer. Isn't a great?
2:43:46
it is. When they turned negative
2:43:48
into a positive. They sure
2:43:50
did. Meltzer would write,
2:43:53
Incredible retains the ECW title pending
2:43:55
Tommy Dreamer in 1458 and a
2:43:57
stairway to hell, which means ladder and
2:43:59
bar match. Dreamer came out
2:44:01
with both jazz and the former gorgeous
2:44:03
George, who was only referred to as the
2:44:05
secret weapon. The altercation took
2:44:07
place just after the bell rang to start this
2:44:09
match. It was about three minutes and 15
2:44:11
seconds into the match before it actually got started.
2:44:13
And they never really got the crowd into
2:44:15
it because of the other altercation and these two
2:44:17
had to rush through their match. Credible
2:44:20
would bleed early. Dreamer took a
2:44:22
bump off a supposed 15 foot
2:44:24
ladder, which was about two feet
2:44:26
tops taller than either Dreamer or
2:44:28
credible. Finish saw Dreamer climbing
2:44:30
the ladder. Francine gives him a
2:44:32
low blow, but Dreamer falls backwards onto
2:44:34
her. Jazz and George get in
2:44:36
the ring teasing. They were going
2:44:38
to attack Francine, but George bring the
2:44:40
biggest platform shoes in America jumped
2:44:43
jazz. George and Francine T,
2:44:45
the lesbian love scene. Francine tries
2:44:47
a Bronco Buster, but Jazz kicks
2:44:49
her low, then takes her top
2:44:51
off. Francine was wearing tape
2:44:53
over her nipples. Credible gives
2:44:55
Jazz a tombstone. Dreamer uses a diamond
2:44:57
cutter, which they call a Tommy Hawk for
2:44:59
a near fall. Dreamer gets
2:45:01
the barbed wire and sets up barbed
2:45:03
wire strands in a few places because time
2:45:05
was running low. They only got to
2:45:07
do a spot where Credible was crouched
2:45:09
on barbed wire and then Credible tombstone dreamer
2:45:12
on barbed wire for a near fall.
2:45:14
Francine hit credible when Dreamer reversed a
2:45:16
whip came for another full fall or credible
2:45:18
hit the pin with a second tombstone. Crowd
2:45:21
was really unruly, pelting
2:45:23
the ring with debris after the finish
2:45:25
when the show ended to in a
2:45:27
quarter star. So seeing all the violence
2:45:29
in this show and then a real
2:45:31
life fight, which is always going to
2:45:33
get people standing on their feet and
2:45:35
paying attention and stop looking at the
2:45:38
ring. It's hard to get them back.
2:45:40
They try all the hijinks, blood. Weapons,
2:45:43
ladders, chairs, catfights,
2:45:45
lady Bronco busters, tooter
2:45:48
shots, everything you can think
2:45:50
of. And fans are
2:45:52
just not as into it
2:45:54
as maybe they hoped. Now,
2:45:57
the fight outside, was it happening this time?
2:45:59
Yeah, those are all happening in the parking lot.
2:46:01
In the parking lot at this time. OK. The
2:46:06
cops are just watching Geekland. Thank
2:46:10
you. That's
2:46:14
right. That's right.
2:46:17
Here we go. We
2:46:20
got high with RVD. As
2:46:22
much as I wanted
2:46:24
to pay attention and I
2:46:27
did to that brawl
2:46:29
on the outside, when that
2:46:31
guy put up the sign that says the
2:46:33
sweetie pie, he lost it.
2:46:35
I did. I don't know what
2:46:37
that's about. I don't get that. Maybe he
2:46:39
does. I don't even. When I tell him,
2:46:41
maybe he does. Why don't you go
2:46:43
ask her? Hey, I heard you were sweetheart. Say
2:46:45
it in person. At the
2:46:47
end of a long day. No.
2:46:51
Wake him up in his hotel room at like
2:46:53
five a .m., knock on his door. Hey,
2:46:55
sweetie pie. Heard you were
2:46:57
a sweetie pie. What's that about? No,
2:47:01
and then lean forward to see what
2:47:03
happened. I
2:47:07
just lean forward. Here,
2:47:09
grab my head. Choke
2:47:12
me out. Suplex
2:47:15
me. Has flexed me into the
2:47:17
wall. No, not
2:47:20
at all. Or
2:47:22
is that 15 foot ladder? Fifteen
2:47:24
feet. Hmm.
2:47:33
Oh, my God, look, the skinny iron chic
2:47:35
right there. This
2:47:39
is bullshit, bubba. Get
2:47:41
the XBW out of here.
2:47:44
Fuck the XBW. I
2:47:46
am the real legend. Bring
2:47:48
me the Christy Mist. Isn't
2:47:55
it weird to think about more stars getting old?
2:47:58
Yeah, I just looked up. She's
2:48:01
46 now. Nothing at all.
2:48:03
Just saying. And 10 years should
2:48:05
be 56. And it's weird to think
2:48:07
about 56 year old porn stars when you're my age.
2:48:09
When you're your age, you're probably like, why are you
2:48:11
talking about Seca like that? Yeah.
2:48:17
And then in 20 years, she'll be 66.
2:48:19
Well, Seca is 66. Oh, OK.
2:48:21
Well, now. OK, now it is
2:48:23
a 50. I guess because he put
2:48:25
on the platform, it could be
2:48:27
considered 15 feet in the air, right?
2:48:31
Maybe not. I don't know. OK,
2:48:34
I mean, they announced psychosis is being
2:48:36
six to earlier. Yeah. Yeah. Well,
2:48:39
that's wrestling, by the way. No
2:48:42
mask drinking. Oh, Lord. I
2:48:44
feel like they blow a knee out. Fuck.
2:48:48
Were you saying, by the way, before that bump? Tommy
2:48:51
Dreamers dead. He's feeling concrete.
2:48:53
Jesus. Just
2:48:57
to get down there and see if he's OK. Oh,
2:49:01
my God, dude. That was a fucking
2:49:03
bump in a half, man. What a
2:49:05
forgotten bump, too. Yes, sir. All
2:49:07
the holy ones. I don't think enough people
2:49:09
talk about he was 2000. Oh,
2:49:11
man. That's
2:49:15
something I got to talk to. I'm going to send
2:49:17
Tommy a text about that. You know, something that just
2:49:19
ruins my illusion of wrestling in a big way. What?
2:49:24
That's what the average attendance was in
2:49:26
June of 2000. And by the
2:49:28
way, it was up. 26 %
2:49:30
from June of 99. So it's
2:49:32
up 26 % and guess what
2:49:34
the average attendance is. You're talking
2:49:36
about all the promotions combined? No,
2:49:38
no, ECW. ECW. June of 2000. Really?
2:49:42
June of 2000, all of
2:49:44
ECW. What do you think the
2:49:46
average attendance is? 2000.
2:49:49
No, no, no. Oh, I see.
2:49:51
Your guess is 2000 people.
2:49:54
Right. 1317.
2:49:57
Whoa. Prior year, they were just drawn
2:49:59
over a thousand thousand forty two. Here
2:50:01
I am. This is my favorite promotion. And
2:50:04
they, on average, draw a thousand people. Now.
2:50:11
That's my feelings, even read that.
2:50:13
Well, I don't want
2:50:15
that forum. Just
2:50:19
goes to show you that, I guess
2:50:21
they liked it, but didn't like it enough
2:50:23
to come out and see it, right?
2:50:26
Yeah. I
2:50:29
mean, look, it seems to me that
2:50:32
ECW, you may have liked the TV show,
2:50:34
but you may have looked at that
2:50:36
crowd and say, I don't want to be
2:50:38
a part of that, right? No, no,
2:50:40
I was in it. I loved it. Well,
2:50:42
I'm not saying that I'm not saying
2:50:44
you. I'm saying a lot of people probably
2:50:46
felt that way. Just
2:50:48
just spitballing here,
2:50:50
you know, wild
2:50:52
guess why something that
2:50:55
had such great action
2:50:57
and such, you know, Acrobatic
2:51:00
crazy bullshit didn't draw enough fans.
2:51:02
I don't know. It
2:51:04
was in the observer this week
2:51:06
that or that week, rather that psychosis
2:51:08
had just signed a deal for
2:51:10
1500 bucks a week. It's
2:51:13
hard to imagine you get a talent like
2:51:15
psychosis for 82 grand, but they did. Hmm.
2:51:20
It also says that he's having problems with
2:51:22
Raven. He writes. Regarding Raven Paul
2:51:24
Heyman, the speed of the version of the
2:51:26
story from last week, he said he never mixed
2:51:28
next to match with the jury that it
2:51:30
was simply something he had come up with, but
2:51:32
changed his mind to an angle with Rhino
2:51:34
instead. Heyman said he never nixed
2:51:36
a going away party for Raven nor
2:51:38
told him his quotes about not giving
2:51:40
him a release for a work. He
2:51:43
said Raven still doesn't have a release
2:51:45
and he's in no hurry to give
2:51:47
him one. And his current negotiations are
2:51:49
the most important thing on the table
2:51:51
because they affect with the company. Needs
2:51:53
to stay in business and he's not
2:51:55
even going to address the subject until
2:51:57
after those negotiations are concluded. Hmm.
2:52:02
This is at the time when
2:52:04
he's looking for big financial
2:52:06
help. See, um, Francine
2:52:09
there. And look,
2:52:11
here comes George. Here comes
2:52:13
jazz. Here comes the big twist. He's
2:52:17
in the beatdown on Francine. Jazz
2:52:19
says, let me start. Those
2:52:23
platforms she's wearing
2:52:25
melts right She
2:52:27
nearly fell Hmm
2:52:29
she did fall
2:52:32
Hmm man, there's
2:52:34
a top -heavy
2:52:36
ring right now
2:52:38
Jesus yeah, this
2:52:40
platform shoes are
2:52:43
brutal Because the
2:52:45
Bronco Buster and
2:52:47
they missed it.
2:52:49
Oh my god See,
2:52:53
can you imagine
2:52:55
I'm a boot to
2:52:58
the no no
2:53:00
hmm What jazz is
2:53:02
giving her the
2:53:04
old what for yeah,
2:53:07
the fans not
2:53:09
buying this no women
2:53:11
fighting now, there's
2:53:13
no reaction any of
2:53:16
us Oh my
2:53:18
god, come on That's
2:53:22
what they wanted to see. And they got it. Big
2:53:24
pop. The big X is over the
2:53:26
gimmicks. She runs to the back. Oh,
2:53:29
and. Well, tombstone
2:53:31
pile driver on jazz. How about
2:53:33
that shit? Tommy
2:53:41
going for. Oh, there
2:53:44
it is. The Tommy Hawk. Oh,
2:53:48
and he kicks out. Anyway,
2:53:54
what I was saying earlier is ECW is
2:53:56
in trouble. J.
2:53:58
Hassmann's group had talked about
2:54:00
buying an ECW, which included current
2:54:02
WCW vice presidents, David Crockett
2:54:05
and Rob Garner. And Crockett
2:54:07
had told people he had already been
2:54:09
approached by Hassmann and already turned him
2:54:11
down about being part of any wrestling
2:54:13
endeavor. There's some rumors
2:54:15
that maybe somebody is going
2:54:17
to do something. Save
2:54:20
ECW financially. We know that doesn't
2:54:22
happen. They fall bankruptcy. And
2:54:25
ECW is no moss.
2:54:29
Right now, Tommy Dreamer is
2:54:31
trying to end ECW
2:54:33
here in 2000 as he
2:54:35
covers the ring ropes
2:54:37
with barbed wire. He
2:54:39
had bigger plans for it, but then
2:54:41
actually working with it was probably tougher than
2:54:43
he imagined. Yeah. A
2:54:47
lot of times. The
2:54:49
thought process does not equal
2:54:52
what happens in the ring. So
2:54:58
barbed wire to the note to
2:55:01
the gonads. Mm hmm. Now
2:55:04
Tommy dreamers. Oh,
2:55:06
trying to go for his finish, but
2:55:08
nope. Instead, Justin credible is going to
2:55:10
turn it into the world's biggest tombstone
2:55:12
right on the bar bar. That should
2:55:15
do it. I
2:55:22
love Joey Styles. Hmm. Hope
2:55:25
he comes back to wrestling one day. Hmm.
2:55:30
Hmm. He
2:55:35
kicked out again. Well,
2:55:45
they're doing what they can here at the end here, man. They're
2:55:47
trying. They're working hard. They are.
2:55:55
Here comes the big tombstone. That's
2:55:57
going to do it. So
2:56:03
there it
2:56:05
is. Just incredible
2:56:07
is your
2:56:09
winner. And he retains
2:56:11
the World Championship and you see fans start
2:56:13
throwing some trash in the ring. Speaking
2:56:16
of trash, next week we will
2:56:18
visit a little person masturbating furiously in
2:56:20
a trash can. R -A -S
2:56:22
-S -L -I -N, that's Rathlin, especially
2:56:24
when it comes to T &A.
2:56:26

2:56:28

2:56:35
you can watch this with Tony and
2:56:38
I next week. And Tony, I'd be
2:56:40
lying if I said I wasn't looking
2:56:42
forward to hearing what you think about
2:56:44
a little person rocking it all, finish
2:56:46
trash can. Well,
2:56:48
that's entertainment, I guess. And
2:56:50
it was back at that time. Are
2:56:52
we interested to see exactly what
2:56:54
was said about that? Well,
2:56:56
it's fun to see, you know,
2:56:59
T and A in the very,
2:57:01
very early days, and it's initial
2:57:03
incarnation and what Jarrett and his
2:57:05
dad and Russo sort of had
2:57:07
a vision for. Good, bad,
2:57:09
and ugly. So that's what we're doing next

2:57:22
now, Tony, it feels like it's about that
2:57:24
time. It's about that
2:57:26
time. And that's one on
2:57:28
one match up will feature
2:57:30
Dave Silva of flea market
2:57:32
fame going up against has
2:57:34
a sweetie pie fame. And
2:57:36
these two combatants looked about
2:57:39
heads and they're all and
2:57:41
he grabs Dave Silva by
2:57:43
the head. He does a
2:57:45
good standing switch. and rolls
2:57:47
him up over. Sweetie
2:57:49
pie. Sweetie pie. Sweetie pie.
