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

of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals,

0:21

high fiber, low sugar. You're going

0:23

to feel full focused and ready

0:25

for your day. There's no prep,

0:27

no cleanup. Just grab and go.

0:38

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

again, it's got a whopping

1:48

35 grams of protein plus those

1:50

27 vitamins and minerals all

you're listening on Wednesday, you're going to

5:12

check out Tony tonight on AEW. It's

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

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

9:51

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

9:53

be watching the show with us to enjoy

9:55

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

11:22

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

11:33

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

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

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

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

1:20:07

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

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

1:24:37

makes me fucking mad every time I

1:24:40

think of somebody shitting in the Chevron. Oh,

1:24:42

God. I'm thinking, you know what?

1:24:45

I go into the men's, and I know they're

1:24:47

not clean because they piss all over the floor.

1:24:49

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

1:30:28

to wipe his own ass

1:30:30

1:30:34

yeah, that's commitment Look at

1:30:36

1:30:40

shit Dude and you want

1:30:42

1:30:44

guy. I mean y 'all had

1:30:47

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

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

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

Japan. I think it

1:36:56

was New Japan. I read this, right? Because,

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

is a long way of saying this, but

1:40:25

Python. Oh Okay,

1:40:27

so doc Python wop

1:40:29

Bop -a -doo -bop -a -lam bam

1:40:32

boom dad that happened

1:40:34

to Now

1:40:36

you told me before what that stood for or

1:40:38

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

word dowry in another

2:04:03

sentence yeah, I'm asking

2:04:05

you to dowry another

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

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

2:18:12

relationship. You know, we kind of

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

2:19:17

dogs. We want to rescue more

2:19:19

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

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

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

can help you too. And I mean,

hundred dollars a

2:24:57

for you. He

2:25:00

2:25:04

basement When are we going

2:25:06

2:25:23

Hey called him look at

2:25:25

that nicely done whoo the

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

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.

2:56:28

2:56:31

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

2:57:22

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
