<v Speaker 2>Is that Rocky? I like that?
<v Speaker 1>No, I just made this out.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the theme song of Philadelphia.
<v Speaker 1>I thought it's the theme song of the draft, of course,
<v Speaker 1>and I just the draft this week. We actually put
<v Speaker 1>up a thread the other week on the Patreon to
<v Speaker 1>see some suggestions for things that we can draft, and
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of good ones. So we had
<v Speaker 1>a good list here, So thank you all for that.
<v Speaker 1>This week we're gonna be drafting top five wrestling video
<v Speaker 1>games us. We are all video game freaks. We've all
<v Speaker 1>met through the world of wrestling video games. So I
<v Speaker 1>guess it's a pretty well suited for this show. I
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna keep the order that we kept on
<v Speaker 1>the last draft. Tony will go first, then I will go,
<v Speaker 1>then James will go twice, and then I'll go back
<v Speaker 1>the other way. That little snake James, Little slippery snake James.
<v Speaker 1>So as usual draft to you know, if you pick
<v Speaker 1>one game, it's off the board. No one else can
<v Speaker 1>pick it. It's your game for So Tony, you get
<v Speaker 1>the first pick here though, you have to pick your
<v Speaker 1>first wrestling video game.
<v Speaker 4>This is crazy.
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of good ones, but I'm gonna have
<v Speaker 3>to go with the all time classic that what.
<v Speaker 1>Don't don't pick a fucking one that I'm gone on
<v Speaker 1>my list here. I know you you see my list,
<v Speaker 1>don't I can't pick my game.
<v Speaker 3>Don't know what you got?
<v Speaker 1>All right?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>Just because this is one of the games that played
<v Speaker 3>the most of all time. Is w if No Mercy
<v Speaker 3>for n sixty four?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean that's right, all time classic. Yeah, there's
<v Speaker 1>like three.
<v Speaker 3>You either have this one or another one, and that
<v Speaker 3>one's gonna get taken right away, but.
<v Speaker 1>One's probably going next year. Yeah exactly, but I have
<v Speaker 1>to but go on.
<v Speaker 3>But I knew that No Mercy, Like I had N
<v Speaker 3>sixty four growing up. That was a game, you know,
<v Speaker 3>No Mercy, the all Timers.
<v Speaker 4>So I played that in the game.
<v Speaker 3>Anybody that had a N sixty four was playing this game,
<v Speaker 3>even if they didn't like wrestling, they would just pick
<v Speaker 3>like stone Colder the Rock or something plays them that.
<v Speaker 1>I do that in current games, any game I could
<v Speaker 1>get up picking still, yeah for sure. Okay, I imagine
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna go quick, so I might as well
<v Speaker 1>fucking just peel this one off. Here first game for me, SmackDown,
<v Speaker 1>Here comes the Pain. Yeah, I mean, like I imagine those.
<v Speaker 2>That's one of my goat games. It's fucking I'm not
<v Speaker 2>even telling abou wrestling. I'm just on my games.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, that game just so much fun, dude.
<v Speaker 1>There's so much shit in that game too, Like, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>he'll Billy Jim's in the game. I know you like that.
<v Speaker 1>You're right, it's nuts.
<v Speaker 2>It comes downing.
<v Speaker 1>I mean like it's obviously the last technically the last
<v Speaker 1>of the SmackDown series as well, and like, I think
<v Speaker 1>they got a lot right with that game. Season modes
<v Speaker 1>fucking fun as hell, really fun roster. Yeah, one of
<v Speaker 1>those games that I can just like, if I'm in
<v Speaker 1>the mood to play a wrestling game, that's one of
<v Speaker 1>the ones coming to mind first. That's it's hard to
<v Speaker 1>not just.
<v Speaker 2>Pick it up. I'm gonna go with w w E
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown shut your mouth.
<v Speaker 1>Fuck god. Okay, that was my number one until I
<v Speaker 1>thought everyone else was gonna take Here Comes the Pain,
<v Speaker 1>because like I love.
<v Speaker 2>Sugar Mouth, I was gonna take Here Comes the Pain.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I figured this was gonna happen.
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to go with uh Virtual Wrestling too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's fucking god. That's why this sucks. That's a
<v Speaker 1>good one in.
<v Speaker 2>A row, golden time for wrestling video games back then.
<v Speaker 2>And I'm glad that Virtual Pro Wrestling two exist, and
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad there's the mod that allows us to read
<v Speaker 2>everything in English and play it and get to experience
<v Speaker 2>that game. It is super super dope, like having like
<v Speaker 2>the g one type shit in there, the champion card,
<v Speaker 2>that's awesome. Yeah it's dope.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, okay, uh me, yes, that's right. I'm gonna
<v Speaker 1>go with Day Reckoning one. I'm gonna just get that
<v Speaker 1>because that's one of my favorite fucking wrestling games. I'm
<v Speaker 1>gonna take that. I imagine my other pick will not
<v Speaker 1>be here long, but dayre Reckoning one is one of
<v Speaker 1>my fucking favorite wrestling games of all time. In fact,
<v Speaker 1>it's it might be my favorite wrestling game of all time.
<v Speaker 1>That the move collisions change my life like that is
<v Speaker 1>always something I want to In all the SmackDown games
<v Speaker 1>where you could interrupt moves by just attacking somebody that
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was the cool shit. Ever, Day Reckoning
<v Speaker 1>still might have my favorite creator wrestler system where you
<v Speaker 1>could make so much shit. Story mode is fucking fun,
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun match types, you know, doing in ladder
<v Speaker 1>matches is just insane, Like yeah, the weapon physics and
<v Speaker 1>the game were fun, like everything breaks the Ship One's awesome.
<v Speaker 1>An underrated game, I feel like because I don't think
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people had the game Cube, so they
<v Speaker 1>probably didn't play this game.
<v Speaker 4>All right, I guess it's my turn now.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I will go with w W E two K
<v Speaker 3>fourteen my favorite of the even though I don't think
<v Speaker 3>it's a two K game.
<v Speaker 4>It's a t HQ game. It's a two K slapped
<v Speaker 4>on the title.
<v Speaker 3>It's a YUS game, right, so it doesn't really count
<v Speaker 3>as a two K. Everyone says it's best two K,
<v Speaker 3>but it's not two K game. They slapped it on there.
<v Speaker 3>It had so much ship in that game to create
<v Speaker 3>a story to the thirty years of WrestleMania. Defeat the Streak, right, wasn't.
<v Speaker 1>That part of the game.
<v Speaker 4>It was so much fun.
<v Speaker 3>And even like a year or two ago, people were
<v Speaker 3>trying to beat the streak again. I remember that much.
<v Speaker 4>That was not.
<v Speaker 3>Even like the thirty years of WrestleMania because they didn't
<v Speaker 3>have like the sling shot technology.
<v Speaker 4>What do they call it?
<v Speaker 3>Is that they call that the sling shot where they
<v Speaker 3>show the real footage and instead of the stuff in
<v Speaker 3>the matches.
<v Speaker 1>I love when they just animated.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that was way cooler. So yeah,
<v Speaker 4>I love this game.
<v Speaker 1>All Timer got to put out the top of my list.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, And then also going with that, I'm going
<v Speaker 3>with w W All Stars because I.
<v Speaker 4>Love that game.
<v Speaker 3>That's fun, because I actually love that game. It's not
<v Speaker 3>just like but it's not from you. It's like on
<v Speaker 3>my list. Actually, I think that's just a good game.
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't think that was going.
<v Speaker 3>No, of course that game is going. That's one of
<v Speaker 3>my favorite that games, awesome rated game. A lot of
<v Speaker 3>people know talking about the counter system in that game
<v Speaker 3>where he counter moves and other moves that.
<v Speaker 1>Is it's so fun.
<v Speaker 2>Was like the goals move.
<v Speaker 4>Ever in that game.
<v Speaker 3>You could hit it like literally when they're jumping off
<v Speaker 3>the top rope and it's awesome.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was crazy.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, everybody looked juiced out, and.
<v Speaker 3>We all know we loved everybody when they look it's awesome. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>so much fun to play.
<v Speaker 2>It was just good fun.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah all right, Uh for my third game here, I'm
<v Speaker 1>going to go with Fire Pro Wrestling World. That is
<v Speaker 1>my next game here. I love Fire Pro. I played
<v Speaker 1>a ton of Fire Pro Returns as a teenager. So
<v Speaker 1>Fire Pro Wrestling World coming out was like fucking crazy
<v Speaker 1>because I never thought there'd be another Fire Pro game,
<v Speaker 1>let alone to the extent that they fucking made this one,
<v Speaker 1>because like, this game kicks s. They put out so
<v Speaker 1>much shit, like where you like the the the amount
<v Speaker 1>of customization you can do for this game is ungodly,
<v Speaker 1>Like the game still lives just because they put out
<v Speaker 1>a legit delcy of create a move, create body parts, like.
<v Speaker 3>That is the most insane thing ever creating the moves,
<v Speaker 3>and there's like forks and stuff and like, like the
<v Speaker 3>most insane.
<v Speaker 1>I created some moves. I created a move. We're fart
<v Speaker 1>on a dude, throw forks and people.
<v Speaker 3>I forgot I made that in that game, did you? Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>like where you throw across the ring and Kim style.
<v Speaker 4>It was awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean fire Pro Wrestling World's fucking fantastic game.
<v Speaker 1>Fire Pro. I mean, like, I don't know if there
<v Speaker 1>will ever be another fire Pro game. I probably felt
<v Speaker 1>the same way as I do now when I was,
<v Speaker 1>you know, playing Returns that okay, this is probably but
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if this is it for fire Pro, what
<v Speaker 1>a great way to go out A lot of a
<v Speaker 1>lot of I mean, great fucking game, great game to watch,
<v Speaker 1>green game to play. I enjoyed very much.
<v Speaker 2>All Right, I'm gonna have to go with fire Pro
<v Speaker 2>Wrestling World.
<v Speaker 1>You beat.
<v Speaker 6>It's okay, It's okay to say Returns that was good too.
<v Speaker 1>You can put on a memory took All Stars from me.
<v Speaker 6>What the USB stick and it puts people on the game.
<v Speaker 1>I did that ship I had ed on there too.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah you could.
<v Speaker 1>You should have had Tony not pick All Stars and man,
<v Speaker 1>come on, Tony, all right, come on, sorry about that?
<v Speaker 2>All right? All right, So I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>go with Day of Reckoning two. It's got Stacey Keebler
<v Speaker 2>on the front. Uh yeah. And then also I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>have to go with SmackDown versus Raw two thousand and
<v Speaker 2>five or six, whatever you want to call it.
<v Speaker 1>You got to pick one.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's like the same game. It's like it
<v Speaker 2>givebout two thousand and five, right, like, yeah, that's five.
<v Speaker 1>Is the first one? Yeah right, okay, you're going for five.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I had a lot of fun with that game.
<v Speaker 2>It is still felt like it comes to pain, like
<v Speaker 2>it didn't have any of the ship yet that they
<v Speaker 2>decided they need to put on try to get you
<v Speaker 2>to play a certain way. I felt like SmackDown versus
<v Speaker 2>Raw O G Edition allowed you to still play. Here
<v Speaker 2>comes to Paint South.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's that's this is my fourth I believe, is
<v Speaker 1>that right?
<v Speaker 4>Yea?
<v Speaker 1>My fourth pick is w CWNW Revenge. What a great
<v Speaker 1>fucking game. I mean, uh, like for like, this is
<v Speaker 1>probably like, you know, the best w CW game I.
<v Speaker 4>Ever.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean some people like World Tour a lot.
<v Speaker 1>Like I've seen people say that World Tour they like
<v Speaker 1>better than Revenge. I'm not one of those people, maybe
<v Speaker 1>because World Tour is closer to like the Japan equivalent
<v Speaker 1>game it was. But Revenge is awesome. You know, if
<v Speaker 1>you're if you love you know, No Mercy or you know,
<v Speaker 1>Wrestling two thousand or whatever, like and you're looking for
<v Speaker 1>a just oh shit, here's the w CW has a
<v Speaker 1>game and it plays it plays exactly like w WS
<v Speaker 1>game and it's insane. Yeah, that's nuts. I loved, uh,
<v Speaker 1>you know, being able to swap fucking the wrestlers in
<v Speaker 1>the game. You could swap their retires. So like I
<v Speaker 1>think I played this with you. I did it with
<v Speaker 1>you Tony a few times where we played it and
<v Speaker 1>like I would make Laparka join the flop and that
<v Speaker 1>meant he wore ravens.
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, you just it's his body. It's Raven's body
<v Speaker 3>on his head.
<v Speaker 4>It's crazy.
<v Speaker 1>They don't really have a story mode in that, but
<v Speaker 1>like playing through the championship things where you have to
<v Speaker 1>beat a bunch of dudes to get a title.
<v Speaker 4>Is cool, and then unlock somebody.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah yeah, un locked dudes, and like there's just
<v Speaker 1>something nostalgic about that game to me. It's just you know,
<v Speaker 1>it's it's just an hour of my life that I
<v Speaker 1>was like, Oh, this is fucking sweet. So yeah, wad
<v Speaker 1>be under Revenge, great fucking game. That's my number four.
<v Speaker 6>All right, it's gone for my number four here.
<v Speaker 4>Finals Yeah, four and five I have to figure out.
<v Speaker 3>But I got SBR twenty eleven on my list here
<v Speaker 3>because I had Road to WrestleMania there and that's like
<v Speaker 3>the first I did the whole universe with out of
<v Speaker 3>my YouTube channel, so that was like historic.
<v Speaker 1>I just was talking about Smackers were all twenty eleven
<v Speaker 1>with James Legit like two days ago, I feel like,
<v Speaker 1>because we were starting the weapon physics.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's great.
<v Speaker 3>Game is awesome, so fun to play, just awesome.
<v Speaker 4>Again.
<v Speaker 3>The Road WrestleMania is still I don't know why that's
<v Speaker 3>not in modern games.
<v Speaker 4>Great mode, love that mode.
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't know what fun as fuck, I don't know.
<v Speaker 4>Why, but yeah, so much fun.
<v Speaker 3>Love that game, Alzheimer for me, just nostalgic because I
<v Speaker 3>played it so much and did.
<v Speaker 4>So many YouTube videos on it.
<v Speaker 3>Sure definitely putting that up there and your final final
<v Speaker 3>because you sniped my ws W game.
<v Speaker 4>I'm like over here sitting Okay.
<v Speaker 1>I had a feeling that was going so like, I'm
<v Speaker 1>glad that I took it, son of a bit.
<v Speaker 3>So WTF attitude holds a good place.
<v Speaker 4>In my heart. I'm just kidding that game.
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, wow, what good.
<v Speaker 4>No, that sucks.
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take Okay, don't Wrestling World, No Fire for Wrestling.
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm taking uh just because the different the game
<v Speaker 3>was so different. I'm going with WWF WrestleMania the Arcade
<v Speaker 3>game on my list. Ye, because it's a different kind
<v Speaker 3>of game. It's not it's like moral combat meets WF.
<v Speaker 3>And I always thought that was cool because I was
<v Speaker 3>a big moral combat head as a kid. So when
<v Speaker 3>that game came out, I was like, oh, you could
<v Speaker 3>do it like the Undertaker's finisher and like the tomb
<v Speaker 3>Stold would come out and you have goblins come out.
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was really sure. Yeah, I mean it
<v Speaker 2>is all over the place.
<v Speaker 4>It's a crazy game.
<v Speaker 3>It is fun, and they did like, yeah, oh what
<v Speaker 3>you said.
<v Speaker 1>No, I was saying, I played that a few years
<v Speaker 1>ago and it made me fucking so mad that it
<v Speaker 1>is a hard game.
<v Speaker 6>It is a very hard game, especially when you.
<v Speaker 3>Get to the end of like the you do like
<v Speaker 3>the run the Champion PA, it's like three versus one
<v Speaker 3>and it's just fucking bullshit.
<v Speaker 1>As bullshit.
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, but it's so fun to play, and it's
<v Speaker 3>like it's just like a nostalgia for me.
<v Speaker 4>So I put that on there.
<v Speaker 1>That's fucking I mean, that's that's fair. I'm trying to
<v Speaker 1>figure out what I Okay, so my last one here, Uh,
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go s v R O six. I mean
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big gm mode head. So like that was
<v Speaker 1>like a big part of that for me. I thought
<v Speaker 1>the season mode and also is fun in that game
<v Speaker 1>for as wonky as like the mocap is for a
<v Speaker 1>lot of that ship. I think that made it fun
<v Speaker 1>for me and the voiceovers. But yeah, SBR six is fun.
<v Speaker 1>It's still not too far removed from like you know,
<v Speaker 1>as we were saying, like here comes the pain plays.
<v Speaker 1>They did add some different kind of ship like the
<v Speaker 1>gameplay definitely starts slowing down as we get deeper into
<v Speaker 1>the SVR games. But yeah, I mean like Season Mode and.
<v Speaker 2>I think two thousand and six still had all the
<v Speaker 2>animations still.
<v Speaker 1>I think so too.
<v Speaker 2>I think it was seven where they took them all out.
<v Speaker 1>Sure, yeah, and O seven GM Mode is not as
<v Speaker 1>good either. They kind of went too far with the
<v Speaker 1>bull shit there. But yeah, SPR six is probably my
<v Speaker 1>number five here. It was on my list so everything.
<v Speaker 1>Oddly enough, legit, I wrote down a list of ten games.
<v Speaker 1>I think all of them went like legit, all of
<v Speaker 1>them went and.
<v Speaker 3>Weren't even like I wasn't trying to sniper nothing either.
<v Speaker 3>It was just just so happened though we liked the same.
<v Speaker 1>Games, like like s R six was the last game
<v Speaker 1>that I had on my list that wasn't picked, So like,
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's probably right.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's it, Like, damn fucking I'm gonna go
<v Speaker 2>with uh play all. No, I'll go with I'll go
<v Speaker 2>with TNA Impact. That's fucking not bad at all.
<v Speaker 1>I think.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, for a number five pick, I think that's
<v Speaker 2>a good slot for It's a game that I enjoy.
<v Speaker 2>I think about all the time. Really, like whenever I
<v Speaker 2>think a wrestling gamesa Impact comes to mind of like
<v Speaker 2>a game I had fun with and then the only
<v Speaker 2>thing I thought I when I was sings with is wow,
<v Speaker 2>they have so much stuff they can do here, like
<v Speaker 2>to take this game to the next level, and then
<v Speaker 2>never got the chance to do it. A game that
<v Speaker 2>had so much promise. I think, yeah, it had more.
<v Speaker 2>It had more promise than it did moves and.
<v Speaker 1>The moves that they had were good, they were awesome.
<v Speaker 2>The game was fun. Yeah, the story, the story mode
<v Speaker 2>is super memorable. Being in attack team called Soggy Biscuits
<v Speaker 2>is nuts. That's exactly what happens, and I have to
<v Speaker 2>respect that they would do that. So yeah, I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>put T and A Impact as my final game here.
<v Speaker 2>It's good exclusively on the Nintendo.
<v Speaker 1>We understandable it is you want to trade? No, All right,
<v Speaker 1>that settles it. Well, there you go. That was finn.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I love these, thank you h for Hey,
<v Speaker 1>if you all please let us know what you're uh,
<v Speaker 1>let us know what your lists are, not including the
<v Speaker 1>games that we you dropped. Now the listeners to you
<v Speaker 1>took everything that we didn't pick. Good luck.
<v Speaker 2>All right now, it's time to get into ECW. Hardcore
<v Speaker 2>Television or October twenty ninth, nineteen ninety six.
<v Speaker 1>W Wow, long time ago. Huh you old old men
<v Speaker 1>unlike me, young and spry.
<v Speaker 2>I'm the youngest one here.
<v Speaker 1>Shut the fuck up.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so Hardcore Television was a syndicated show that aired
<v Speaker 2>in local networks and also in random places like Florida
<v Speaker 2>and whatever.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the case was with what they could get. So
<v Speaker 2>this is also a very historic here for ECW. So
<v Speaker 2>much of their cool shit happened in ninety six is unbelievable.
<v Speaker 1>It's all I mean, like, yeah, this is like I mean,
<v Speaker 1>people talk about, you know, the later years of ECW
<v Speaker 1>being the stuff they remember more, but obviously that's probably
<v Speaker 1>a lot to do with them getting more shows out
<v Speaker 1>there by like yeah, ninety six ninety seven, that's like
<v Speaker 1>the ECW years for you know, all the stuff that like,
<v Speaker 1>most of the stuff that's replayed and talked about in
<v Speaker 1>terms of story and fucking crazy shit happened during this time,
<v Speaker 1>and crazy shit happens on this one. So much crazy stuff.
<v Speaker 1>Something so crazy that it did not air and the
<v Speaker 1>only foot it I think came out from like WWE documentaries.
<v Speaker 1>But we will get into that as we go further
<v Speaker 1>into the show. But before we get into the show,
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about what was going on in the world
<v Speaker 1>wrestling at the time with the Wrestling Observer. Newsletter from
<v Speaker 1>The Observer October twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six, Brett Hart
<v Speaker 1>agreed to a twenty year contract with the Walters Veteration
<v Speaker 1>just prior to making an announcement of his return on
<v Speaker 1>the Live Monday Night Rolls show from Fort Wayne, Indiana
<v Speaker 1>on October twenty first. Wow, Obviously this changes pretty quickly,
<v Speaker 1>and Brett Hart does not in fact have a twenty
<v Speaker 1>year contract.
<v Speaker 3>Saying that you can sign a twenty year contract and
<v Speaker 3>then it's just taken away from you. That's yeah, gnarly wow.
<v Speaker 1>So he would have been signed if this would have
<v Speaker 1>stayed until twenty sixteen.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, is that right?
<v Speaker 2>Twenty sixteen?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, this is correct. That is insane. Even fucking
<v Speaker 1>fathom that twenty sixteen Bretteart on top.
<v Speaker 4>That would be crazy.
<v Speaker 1>Wrestlings.
<v Speaker 2>The Mills ain't making it into Brett Hart's w WL.
<v Speaker 1>Yes he is.
<v Speaker 2>He's not.
<v Speaker 3>He would have never got kicked by Goldberg and his
<v Speaker 3>crew would be going strong until.
<v Speaker 2>Tony Goldberg would come to the w WL.
<v Speaker 1>Right, they would end up in the ring at sub
<v Speaker 1>port there, you're right.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean Bred should have went to TNA is
<v Speaker 2>what really should have happened.
<v Speaker 1>I think everybody should have went to t NA.
<v Speaker 2>Though, Yeah, I mean Brett would have sold out the
<v Speaker 2>effect soon every every week.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, you know as t N a thing
<v Speaker 1>would have been sick.
<v Speaker 2>Dude would have been awesome. A little tunnel, Tony Brett
<v Speaker 2>in the tunnel and they do the cam from the
<v Speaker 2>back as he's walking through it. Pink. Oh my god.
<v Speaker 1>Wow.
<v Speaker 2>Should have went to TNA.
<v Speaker 1>Binley said it twenty year doing DNA. He would be
<v Speaker 1>the king of the mountain Brett Hart.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, he would have lost to Jeff Jarrett. He would
<v Speaker 2>have been with.
<v Speaker 1>So many guitars it's not even funny. I would the
<v Speaker 1>guitars he would have he would have joined Planet Jarrett.
<v Speaker 1>Damn anyone who went to New Japan. I mean, this
<v Speaker 1>is a good run. I'm just imagining Brett doing everything.
<v Speaker 1>He just styles.
<v Speaker 2>It when he goes to a run.
<v Speaker 1>That sounds awesome. From the Observer, November fourth, nineteen ninety
<v Speaker 1>six in East w News on the October twenty fifth
<v Speaker 1>show in jim Thorpe, Pa, after the gangster's beat the
<v Speaker 1>eliminators in the main event. I'm sure you're shocked that
<v Speaker 1>the gangsters are finishing a police officer from a nearby
<v Speaker 1>town and new Jack got into it. I'm sure you're
<v Speaker 1>also surprised at New Jack's fighting police. Who started it
<v Speaker 1>depends on whose version one chooses to believe. But New
<v Speaker 1>Jack hopped the guard rail after the guy and punches
<v Speaker 1>were exchanged and Perry Saturn, Bubba Ray Dudley and maybe
<v Speaker 1>Taz ended up out there and there was what was
<v Speaker 1>described as a riot to lasting from fifteen seconds to
<v Speaker 1>three minutes, in which Nujack ended up collapsing and paramedics came.
<v Speaker 1>Although both EW and WWFS of late are doing angles
<v Speaker 1>with so called fans getting beaten up by wrestlers, this
<v Speaker 1>definitely wasn't one of them.
<v Speaker 2>And maybe Taz I love that like, he just wasn't
<v Speaker 2>too sure. Could have been anybody, you know.
<v Speaker 1>A lot of guys look like Taz in the jim
<v Speaker 1>Thorpe Pa area. In WWF News, they started doing televised
<v Speaker 1>features on someone named uh d Wayne Johnson who will
<v Speaker 1>go as Rocky Mayavilla to honor his father and grandfather
<v Speaker 1>and showed tape of both of them in the WWF.
<v Speaker 1>Do Wayne Johnson an any anything here?
<v Speaker 2>I hope he does well?
<v Speaker 1>See I was thinking the opposite.
<v Speaker 2>I hope he goes to Tnaganne Johnson and the Donnell
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what the fuck?
<v Speaker 1>More WWF news. Chris Candido quit at the TV tapings
<v Speaker 1>because they didn't have a role for him and wanted
<v Speaker 1>him to on to teach new talent, and he felt
<v Speaker 1>that at twenty four it was too young for him
<v Speaker 1>to be out of the ring and teaching new talents,
<v Speaker 1>so he quit to go to ECW and probably will
<v Speaker 1>go to All Japan in nineteen ninety seven. Candido apparently
<v Speaker 1>he is also leaving overheat with Shawn Michaels. I would
<v Speaker 1>get upset at him using hot moves in prelim matches
<v Speaker 1>on the house shows, moves which he thought were apparently
<v Speaker 1>his domain.
<v Speaker 2>He was doing the blonde bombshell.
<v Speaker 1>Sean was Domaine. You don't remember Sean doing that all
<v Speaker 1>the time. He passed down to his cousin Michael Shade.
<v Speaker 2>Michael Michael.
<v Speaker 1>Last thing here from The Observer November eleventh, nineteen ninety six.
<v Speaker 1>This is in regards to the show that we watched here. Also, actually,
<v Speaker 1>I'll save this part for when we get to this
<v Speaker 1>part of the show because I don't want to jump
<v Speaker 1>into too fear. So let's get into EASTV Hardcore TV.
<v Speaker 1>October twenty ninth, nineteen ninety six.
<v Speaker 2>So we kick off Hardcore TV with a clip of
<v Speaker 2>a scaffold match at High Incident. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So ECB would do like you know, big arena shows,
<v Speaker 1>and then they would use that to feed to the
<v Speaker 1>TV for weeks to come to build up to the
<v Speaker 1>next one. So this is like building to the fourth
<v Speaker 1>annual November. To remember, I watched the rece dub version
<v Speaker 1>of this on archive. Shout out to the rec dub team.
<v Speaker 1>Shit's fucking awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you guys so much. Yeah, I watched too,
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's always very cool to see that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, man, Like you know, I mean, I can watch
<v Speaker 1>it on peacock, but like there's definitely a charm to
<v Speaker 1>watching it in its original capacity, and like it's so
<v Speaker 1>easy to fucking access the shout out to them for
<v Speaker 1>the hard work they put into that. So Yes, recap
<v Speaker 1>of High Incidents from October twenty sixth, nineteen ninety six,
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Dreamer versus Brian Lee in a scaffold match. This
<v Speaker 1>might be one of the first ECW things. I saw
<v Speaker 1>the clip of this, So the clip of Dreamer beating
<v Speaker 1>this fucking dude in the head as they are hanging
<v Speaker 1>on top of a scaffold, and then this dude falls
<v Speaker 1>through a billion table.
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I've ever seen the actual match. I've
<v Speaker 3>only seen that clip. I've never I can imagine them
<v Speaker 3>climbing and them setting up tables, and I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>It looks like some like snuff thing you download off
<v Speaker 2>like LimeWire or something.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, you downloaded.
<v Speaker 2>And be like, holy fuck, what happened here?
<v Speaker 1>Like is that guy?
<v Speaker 2>Okay?
<v Speaker 1>This thing is horrifying. Also, I don't know if you
<v Speaker 1>guys know this. This scaffold for the Dreamer nine one
<v Speaker 1>one scaffold match was built by this sandman. Oh nice. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I guess he was a carpenter and he built Swing Dreamer.
<v Speaker 1>And I think the story goes he built it the
<v Speaker 1>night before and then fucked the girl on it the
<v Speaker 1>same night, and then they had the show the next day.
<v Speaker 1>Oh nice? Wow? Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>Was it his wife?
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't want to. I don't know. I'm
<v Speaker 1>sure it was. Joey Styles then opens the show. In
<v Speaker 1>the ring, he welcomes everyone to e c W, the
<v Speaker 1>world's most famous Bengal hall. You guys haven't been right ever. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I fucking practically grew up in this fucker, Joey says.
<v Speaker 1>Even though ECW is, without a doubt, the most extreme
<v Speaker 1>pro sport legal in this country today, we also have
<v Speaker 1>an appreciation for amateur sports. For example, our friends up
<v Speaker 1>in Stanford, the World Wrestling Federation, Joey says, the WWF
<v Speaker 1>have a very accomplished amateur athlete working for them, former
<v Speaker 1>Olympian Mark Henry. Boo, I don't we don't know who
<v Speaker 1>that is yet, sorry boo. He just signed a ten
<v Speaker 1>year deal, not like Bret Hart. Joey says, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>how do you, uh, you know, how do you train
<v Speaker 1>for long that long to be olympian? And he hurt
<v Speaker 1>his knee and he didn't win a medal. But come
<v Speaker 1>on now, I said, oh, all right, Barry, Mark Henry,
<v Speaker 1>that's fucking crazy. That's good. And he says, how about
<v Speaker 1>our neighbors down in Atlanta. I'm sure you've seen silver
<v Speaker 1>medalists and wrestling Matt wrestle on Nitro. Who the fuck
<v Speaker 1>is Matt Dafaria?
<v Speaker 3>I think it was Matt Jaafari if I'm looking at
<v Speaker 3>it correctly, because he.
<v Speaker 1>Was like right, not probably, I mean, okay, I had
<v Speaker 1>to look it up.
<v Speaker 3>But he was actually like an Olympic athlete amateur professional wrestler.
<v Speaker 3>I guess like they they had like announced him, like
<v Speaker 3>there was like videos of him on Nitro, but he
<v Speaker 3>never actually like came into Nitro. They just like they
<v Speaker 3>had vignettes for him, but he didn't sign up with
<v Speaker 3>the company. According to like Wikipedia, they say he was
<v Speaker 3>scouted by w c W and featured in Yeah that guy,
<v Speaker 3>and he featured in several vignettes but did not sign
<v Speaker 3>up with the company.
<v Speaker 2>So like that's big Vito.
<v Speaker 1>Professor X.
<v Speaker 3>So apparently they just had promos for him and he
<v Speaker 3>never signed a contract.
<v Speaker 4>They didn't want to wrestle, So I don't know what
<v Speaker 4>happened to him.
<v Speaker 1>Fucking awesome, Well, I guess you know he Well, he
<v Speaker 1>was a silver medalist Tony.
<v Speaker 2>You might know him as Tony marinera.
<v Speaker 1>Joey Stoless. The hours of training and sacrificeing the diet
<v Speaker 1>day night to win a silver medal. He's been on
<v Speaker 1>w so if he said he's gonna get involved and
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have an amateur wrestler, here we go for
<v Speaker 1>the gold. So at this time I want to have
<v Speaker 1>an extreme welcome for the man that won a gold
<v Speaker 1>medal for that s good tree, Kurt Angle, And I
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh fuck, that's right. This is this one
<v Speaker 1>that Kurt is on, because that's why we don't see
<v Speaker 1>the Sandman part of this show. Kurt comes out and
<v Speaker 1>he's got his gold medal on. He's slapping fans hands
<v Speaker 1>on the way out, and he has a big ass
<v Speaker 1>blue pager on his belt.
<v Speaker 2>Olympian music like.
<v Speaker 4>Through the Tunnel and everything behind, shot behind.
<v Speaker 1>Music, focus on dude.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, this is the most ninety six looking man, Like,
<v Speaker 2>this is the kind of guy you have seen a
<v Speaker 2>sick com He's the family.
<v Speaker 1>Dad of four, you know, like just.
<v Speaker 3>Ever coming out, smiling, chewing bubblegum, loving lif in the grass.
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean. Hey neighbor, it's good to
<v Speaker 2>see you.
<v Speaker 1>So Joey says mister Angle. It was one of the
<v Speaker 1>greatest moments in Olympic history when you won the medal
<v Speaker 1>and you collapse on your knees and you put the
<v Speaker 1>gold medal on your mom. Uh. He didn't say like that.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why it's ben't like that either, And
<v Speaker 1>I thought, you like to know the young man sitting
<v Speaker 1>there that's gonna compete in this matchup. Little Guido is
<v Speaker 1>quite an amateur wrestler himself, New York State High school
<v Speaker 1>wrestling champion, big competing in the UWF and Japan and
<v Speaker 1>just won a big match. And Kirk gets on the
<v Speaker 1>bike and says, I know this guy. That's Damian Stone.
<v Speaker 2>Kurt, that is Damien Stone. Did you know that our
<v Speaker 2>heavyweight champion of the world had sex with his wife
<v Speaker 2>on the scaffold?
<v Speaker 1>A high incident, wasn't his wife?
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. When you have the answer, hit my page.
<v Speaker 2>You're up.
<v Speaker 1>Our evyweight champion.
<v Speaker 2>Oh here's our heavyweight champion, Kirt.
<v Speaker 1>How did Kurt like not figured there might have been
<v Speaker 1>something nefarious going on? But he stepped into the locker
<v Speaker 1>room ship the Sandman and there's bunch of money doing carract. Hey, Krry,
<v Speaker 1>we built this cross.
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna crucify me to night.
<v Speaker 2>In the locker room, girl said he's like looking down
<v Speaker 2>on the cross.
<v Speaker 6>He's the cross is so big. There's no way.
<v Speaker 2>Was it in the locker room.
<v Speaker 1>And Kurtigles saw that ship. There's no no. I mean
<v Speaker 1>to be fair Tony, no way. Curt showed up at
<v Speaker 1>call time like they definitely had time to.
<v Speaker 3>Put the locker Room's got to be tiny back there, right,
<v Speaker 3>I assume.
<v Speaker 1>A huge space. No, Joey says a mister Angle. I
<v Speaker 1>know you follow progressing somewhat. Yeah, okay, uh, I know
<v Speaker 1>you've got to be impressed with the amateur and pro
<v Speaker 1>credentials of this man. And he fucking points to the
<v Speaker 1>aisleway and war machine hits and the crowd starts coming alive.
<v Speaker 1>I said, Wow, this is awesome. Taz comes out with
<v Speaker 1>Team Taz. They got their goddamn orange rain jackets. I
<v Speaker 1>don't jump. It looked like they look bigger. I said, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>Bill Alfonso's here. He's annoying as ship as usual.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, the funny thing here is that he
<v Speaker 2>says that you gotta be impressed by the credentials of
<v Speaker 2>this man. War machine hits. Bonzi comes out.
<v Speaker 1>Get this belligerate man out of here.
<v Speaker 6>Hey, daddy, I got some crack for you right now,
<v Speaker 6>let's go down.
<v Speaker 1>Hey dad, we'll go back to hell and.
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, I don't.
<v Speaker 6>That's the right daddy boll crack for us.
<v Speaker 1>So that's comes out by the way, I mean, let's
<v Speaker 1>not the fucking team tax presentation is awesome.
<v Speaker 3>Fucking ship every big ass flag, all wear an orange
<v Speaker 3>Tazi kicks ass.
<v Speaker 4>It's awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean this is this is cool as fuck,
<v Speaker 1>super ahead of its time. I have to say, right like,
<v Speaker 1>no one else had a presentation like this.
<v Speaker 2>No, no, especially on promotion. That's you know where it's
<v Speaker 2>at right now. This is like pretty forward thinking for sure.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's awesome. Uh. The crowd is chanting Sabo at Taz,
<v Speaker 1>which I also thought was fucking cool as fuck that
<v Speaker 1>they were so like wanting to see this feud that
<v Speaker 1>they were in a year. Dude's name, Yeah, man, so
<v Speaker 1>it's it's been a year because Sabo like got fired, right,
<v Speaker 1>that's why.
<v Speaker 2>Because he took the dates.
<v Speaker 1>He took the Japan book again. I think he just
<v Speaker 1>came back.
<v Speaker 2>Went the ring and said, you son of a bed.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. They aired his ass out. He took a Japan
<v Speaker 1>booking and he fucking got lit up by the top
<v Speaker 1>guy in the promoter and you know what, that's not
<v Speaker 1>a bad idea. That was awesome though.
<v Speaker 3>He's like, he decided to take morebody elsewhere instead of
<v Speaker 3>wrestled for you fans. Fuck this guy, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Fuck, And then he comes back. Goodness, it's awesome. The
<v Speaker 1>task gets on the mic and shut the music. That's
<v Speaker 1>not thankfully the franchises all this.
<v Speaker 2>Show, shut the music, and well, well, well just double
<v Speaker 2>gimmick in fridgement.
<v Speaker 1>He's just stealing everything. Tas looks at Kurt. He says,
<v Speaker 1>I want to I want to strike your head gets
<v Speaker 1>right up bottom. I tell you what, Kurt Angle, I
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of respect for you. You are definitely
<v Speaker 1>one of the greatest average wrestlers to ever lace them up.
<v Speaker 1>I spent a great deal of my summer watching you
<v Speaker 1>compete the games. Let's fucking die. Helped the ratings there
<v Speaker 1>at the games, you.
<v Speaker 2>Know X games.
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I spent all my summer watching myself
<v Speaker 1>on TV. I guess Taz was in New York. They
<v Speaker 1>did have easy to be locallees. That's fucking good.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is the most Taz I can't like.
<v Speaker 2>Whenever I see Taz talk now, like in ninety six,
<v Speaker 2>And I've heard him on commentary for so long at
<v Speaker 2>this point, I can only hear his commentary voice. So
<v Speaker 2>it's weird. Right. So he spent the summer watching herd
<v Speaker 2>of the Games, but he spent more time watching TV
<v Speaker 2>with himself on it.
<v Speaker 1>But I digress, you.
<v Speaker 2>Know, that's all I can think about, was him.
<v Speaker 1>I know he wanted to say, But I digress says
<v Speaker 1>there was a time that even contemplated competing for the
<v Speaker 1>wrestling team of the United States. But you know what,
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather make money. All right, we listen. Don't pretend
<v Speaker 1>that this crowd doesn't know the money situation.
<v Speaker 2>Everything or anytime. Hey, everything's fine. Wait, you guys get paid,
<v Speaker 2>all right? Someone taula me the word back to the
<v Speaker 2>locker room, please and put him back across.
<v Speaker 1>What did you say?
<v Speaker 2>I meant, get him, get him some crack I don't know,
<v Speaker 2>get him out of here.
<v Speaker 1>Come put cross.
<v Speaker 6>I had no idea about this, I swear I never do.
<v Speaker 1>He's got a hammer in his hand. I don't know,
<v Speaker 1>he's got sawdust all over, he said. I have no idea.
<v Speaker 1>It's just the nature of the biziness across.
<v Speaker 3>I was putting the ring together, scaffold, need these nails,
<v Speaker 3>and there's farm wire to put around his head, I
<v Speaker 3>mean under the ring.
<v Speaker 1>That says it closing court angle. I'm very happy you're
<v Speaker 1>here tonight, So I want you to sit up there
<v Speaker 1>with Joey Styles and competent on my match and toll
<v Speaker 1>the world what kind of great pro wrestler Taz is congratulations,
<v Speaker 1>you're a great amateur, but I'm a great professional. That's
<v Speaker 1>a So that was a good line. That was a
<v Speaker 1>good line, And like I always thought it was fucking cool.
<v Speaker 1>Obviously I don't this obviously wasn't meant to happen this way,
<v Speaker 1>but the fact that like they had this confrontation here
<v Speaker 1>and then Tazz is WWF debut is against this dude
<v Speaker 1>is like pretty cool. Cool.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it felt like the world of wrestling was connected.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, like it happened in New York. So like
<v Speaker 1>the crowd fucking was gaed up for Taz and all.
<v Speaker 1>That's fucking pretty cool. But Kurt here is like I
<v Speaker 1>can't explain how young this guy looks. Like this is
<v Speaker 1>a whole different human. He even sounds way different, Like
<v Speaker 1>his voice is not the same voice that you when
<v Speaker 1>you think of Kurt Angle. This is not how he sounds.
<v Speaker 2>This is a man who has yet to see the Crucifixion.
<v Speaker 2>I'm the same man.
<v Speaker 1>Ball's dropped after a man.
<v Speaker 2>Took all his hair off.
<v Speaker 7>So fast. He watch he watched Raven walk out.
<v Speaker 1>They called himself Scott Levy.
<v Speaker 7>He said, great, I thought it was Raven.
<v Speaker 1>He was morp pissed for him. You know this crack.
<v Speaker 1>So the match we have here is Taz versus Little Guido.
<v Speaker 1>Shoot fight. And I said, sho fight.
<v Speaker 2>That's right.
<v Speaker 1>By shoe fight is by east of these rules. You
<v Speaker 1>either win by submission or knockout. I was like, oh fuck,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I assume they were doing a good
<v Speaker 1>amount of these for Taz around the time.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Probably, Yeah, that's probably his match, right, Yeah, that's right.
<v Speaker 2>And Kurt Angle, I assume has never seen wrestling. He says, yeas,
<v Speaker 2>I doubt it, dude, So he's probably like, what wrestling's
<v Speaker 2>like this all the time?
<v Speaker 1>Wow, there's why does any dude? He was you're telling
<v Speaker 1>me you Hayway champion wrestles. Well, it's a different guy
<v Speaker 1>to shoot fight. But yes, he's shooting all right.
<v Speaker 2>Up. He bought got Zilla one time or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>He uh, Kurt like is so Kurt is calling this
<v Speaker 1>like a shoot, like he didn't they didn't like give
<v Speaker 1>him the egging about anything. They m up, No, he's
<v Speaker 1>confused about everything. He's like burying a man.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So Kurt Angle's on commentary with Joey Styles here
<v Speaker 2>and there's a yeah, and they have a little picture
<v Speaker 2>in a lower third that says commentary by US gold
<v Speaker 2>medalist Kurt Angle on the screen. It stays on the
<v Speaker 2>screen too. I imagine that people in the area, you know,
<v Speaker 2>this is probably a big deal, you know, like especially
<v Speaker 2>because back then, I feel like the Olympics were a
<v Speaker 2>much bigger deal. I'm not saying they're not a big deal,
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like the general consensus for the Olympics
<v Speaker 2>was a lot bigger in a world where everything was
<v Speaker 2>a little more centralized back then. Right, there's like four
<v Speaker 2>fucking things going on in the world at one time, right,
<v Speaker 2>Like you watch the Simpsons, when you watch the Olympics,
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like, all right, which one are we
<v Speaker 2>watching today?
<v Speaker 1>Shit? Actually, you're right.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I imagine this got them some good press,
<v Speaker 2>for sure, especially probably in the Philly area, which is
<v Speaker 2>where they wanted it the most, so.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Kurt was from Pa so like that. You know,
<v Speaker 1>probably is there too. So Kurt is totally confused by
<v Speaker 1>the rules.
<v Speaker 2>He said, what are the rules in this wrestling?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I understand in this wrestling it's either choke out
<v Speaker 1>or knockout or submission. I wasn't sure.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So Guido and Taz are grappling to start here.
<v Speaker 2>Guido escalates it with some kicks to the chest. Taz
<v Speaker 2>grabs a freestyle bow and arrow and puts it in
<v Speaker 2>on Guido here and Kurt I love.
<v Speaker 1>That, dude. That was pretty awesome, and he like he again,
<v Speaker 1>he's asking a ton of questions here. Kurt says, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>what happens if they get in a stalemate? And I
<v Speaker 1>think Taz had like Guido in like a knee bar
<v Speaker 1>or something, and he Guido grabbed the ropes and he says, oh, okay,
<v Speaker 1>he can just hold onto the ring, that's.
<v Speaker 2>Right, and it breaks. It's like going out of the
<v Speaker 2>square in a wrestling match or whatever. Freestyle bow and
<v Speaker 2>arrow just look like a twist or Also, that shit
<v Speaker 2>looked awesome.
<v Speaker 1>It was fucking cool. Soone should do that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, it's wake cooler than the other bow
<v Speaker 2>and arrow like to the knees versions.
<v Speaker 1>This is coler than that.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe this just hurts like shit for real, dude, it's
<v Speaker 2>probably a real submission that he really hadn't he's just
<v Speaker 2>begging for help, So.
<v Speaker 1>Not gonna fucking argue it against He's taking this.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, task makes all the T shirts. If you want
<v Speaker 2>another one, then you better stay in this hole.
<v Speaker 3>That's he says that to him. He says that to him,
<v Speaker 3>you want to t you better stay this whole.
<v Speaker 1>You fuck up my mess and now you're not getting
<v Speaker 1>a DC.
<v Speaker 2>So Tas clotheslines him and does the sad boot tante
<v Speaker 2>and Kurt says, what the hell is that?
<v Speaker 1>So confused? Kurt says, why does it he go for
<v Speaker 1>the kill? Why does he turning his back? And Joey
<v Speaker 1>has to explain the angle, like, oh, he's mocking Sabo,
<v Speaker 1>who he hates.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that Joy was like, oh yeah, that's some that's
<v Speaker 2>Saboo's time. Boo's not here. Kerdengo has never heard of
<v Speaker 2>a man named Saboo. He poists to the sky. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>why all right, I worry about it. He explains that
<v Speaker 2>he draws power from the sky he or something alone.
<v Speaker 1>I try.
<v Speaker 5>So.
<v Speaker 1>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, we go back to the batch of Taz German
<v Speaker 2>suplexes Guido and they had they'd had this camera shot
<v Speaker 2>here in this match that's sitting behind Phonsie as Taz
<v Speaker 2>is letting guidos sell in the ring here and Phonsie
<v Speaker 2>is going ape ship. This is a very awesome shot,
<v Speaker 2>by the way.
<v Speaker 1>It is cool as fuck. I for the life of
<v Speaker 1>me could not figure out a signal worth that he said,
<v Speaker 1>though I tried for you.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it wasn't the human language, but it was awesome.
<v Speaker 2>I thought the shot was cool, and it got across
<v Speaker 2>that Phonsie is a maniac and Taz likes to stalk
<v Speaker 2>his prey.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it's cool.
<v Speaker 2>Uh So Phonsie is pointing a Taz and blowing the whistle.
<v Speaker 2>Tazz then hits two task plexes and locks in the
<v Speaker 2>Kata to win the match.
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's popping off all kinds. Every kind of
<v Speaker 1>plex that he does is just a tak a wheelbarrow
<v Speaker 1>dazz plex. That's a goddamn t bone tz that s
<v Speaker 1>It's awesome And Yeah, multiple times during the match, Kurt saying,
<v Speaker 1>can I ask why Taz isn't going for the gill.
<v Speaker 1>Why is he waiting? Is he not allowed? And Joey
<v Speaker 1>says he knows he's got the match one he's allowed.
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to like emphasize that he's a killer. Joey
<v Speaker 1>should just press the mute button.
<v Speaker 2>On the mic and been like he's selling. It's called
<v Speaker 2>selling and wrestling. He has to fucking sell. This guy
<v Speaker 2>has to at least look good. And it comes on
<v Speaker 2>the match.
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever seen wrestling? Buddy? He rating Olympic Gold?
<v Speaker 2>Don't you understand this guy was in the u w F.
<v Speaker 2>I mean nothing to you, fake you idiots. Task makes
<v Speaker 2>his shirts, you know, taboo is or not?
<v Speaker 1>They are loading across into the ring as you speak,
<v Speaker 1>you dumb ass. So yeah, Tas wins the cattage and
<v Speaker 1>Kurt says, that's a judo choke. Isn't it everything that
<v Speaker 1>Taz or Kurt knew this match was either a plex
<v Speaker 1>or a judo something. That's all. He's just trying his best.
<v Speaker 1>I guess I like that.
<v Speaker 2>I like that Kurt's like not smartened up to the biz,
<v Speaker 2>so like he's trying to figure it out. Maybe it
<v Speaker 2>would have made for a good gimmick. I think of
<v Speaker 2>him like figuring out wrestling as it goes along. But sadly,
<v Speaker 2>the worst thing that's ever happened that ECW arena is
<v Speaker 2>about to happen. Here at about forty five min.
<v Speaker 1>We're just saying a lot. I mean, it's gotta be
<v Speaker 1>saying a ton.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Taz grabs a microphone after the match and
<v Speaker 2>he calls out Kurt and you guys, you got to
<v Speaker 2>agree that's a goldmel performance. And then Taz talks about
<v Speaker 2>his feud.
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he gets angry at the crowd. They've been chatting
<v Speaker 2>so and he's like, you guys want to hear me
<v Speaker 2>talk about Saboo or not. You've been talking about Saboo.
<v Speaker 1>For a year? Do one whole year? He went to Japan,
<v Speaker 1>fucking pussy.
<v Speaker 2>So Taz calls Sabuo a piece of shit and he
<v Speaker 2>calls him out as he goes to commercial.
<v Speaker 1>And then we go to a Saboo T shirt commercial
<v Speaker 1>that Tas made. Made it.
<v Speaker 2>He's been fitting with him for a year. I guess
<v Speaker 2>things are good now, So yeah, that's nice. I can
<v Speaker 2>imagine this next thing making a lot of money. The
<v Speaker 2>ECW Hardcore Hotline the.
<v Speaker 1>New ECW Hardcore Hotline where you can hear inside wrestling news,
<v Speaker 1>extreme interviews, get results from the last esib Arena show,
<v Speaker 1>play wrestling trivia for a chance to win a free prize,

<v Speaker 1>like taking their calls right, Like they just had like
<v Speaker 1>k fame names, names from their cave fame names.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's pretty interesting. This whole like hotline ripoff stuff
<v Speaker 2>was pretty prevalent back then.
<v Speaker 1>Dude.
<v Speaker 2>It must have made an entire living off of just hotline.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, the amount of money he must have
<v Speaker 1>made off that ship. Like I think that was in
<v Speaker 1>his contracts too, write like they probably didn't have to
<v Speaker 1>pay as much because he would make fucking so much
<v Speaker 1>money off the hotline if they let him talk about
<v Speaker 1>it on TV.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, yeah, that's it. Well, it's it's like it's a.
<v Speaker 3>Thing where you call like if I picked up my
<v Speaker 3>parents' phone and called it one nine hundred number. It
<v Speaker 3>would just come down their bill later. So like, I
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't even care, you know, I'm just talking to and
<v Speaker 3>listen to every Fonsie I'm calling whatever he's talking about.
<v Speaker 1>And then two months later you're grounded because you called
<v Speaker 1>the ECW hotline. Who is the e CW Champion? Is

<v Speaker 1>have a mutual friend, a former wrestling coach. And seeing
<v Speaker 1>as Joey's inviting color commentators come out here Joey, and
<v Speaker 1>then Joey says, no, no, no, I I don't fucking

<v Speaker 1>This is triple age. Yes, this is triple Age. And Stephanie,
<v Speaker 1>this is ridiculous man. Yeah, so ringing out some gets
<v Speaker 1>back into the introductions. Of course, the crowd is now
<v Speaker 1>chanting such things at fran Sceine, like she's a whore
<v Speaker 1>and she's got herpies. All she's done is just been
<v Speaker 1>out here, is yo?
<v Speaker 2>Okay? I was trying to make out the chance.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was hoping you wrote down what you thought
<v Speaker 1>they were.
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I didn't even have any thoughts.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like I just couldn't hear it. It sounded like a
<v Speaker 1>she's a whrror and she's got her pies. Of course.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Well France scene leaves and she tells the franchise
<v Speaker 2>to leave too. She's pissed off at the Chance, of course,
<v Speaker 2>and now they're channing fuck you. Pittboll number two tries
<v Speaker 2>to rush the ring here, but he's held back by security,
<v Speaker 2>refs and some of.
<v Speaker 1>The boys and Carrot Top. Yeah that was.
<v Speaker 2>That guy.
<v Speaker 4>Anybody like that by life.
<v Speaker 1>So if you remember that Carrot Top guy is the
<v Speaker 1>guy that was in the front row when Brian Pillman
<v Speaker 1>debuts and he takes a swing of Pillman and Pilman
<v Speaker 1>dumps him over their guardrail. Oh nice, I thought that
<v Speaker 1>was that is a different guy that was anyway, shape
<v Speaker 1>or form. So I'll still look like carrot top at
<v Speaker 1>this point.
<v Speaker 4>That's pretty bay.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know how yeah, you know that goes. So
<v Speaker 2>we go to.
<v Speaker 6>We got a commercial.
<v Speaker 2>And it says that franchise will defend this title when
<v Speaker 2>we come back.
<v Speaker 1>That's cool. I had like the text that said that.
<v Speaker 1>That was cute.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So we get a Raven T shirt commercial where
<v Speaker 2>all of Raven's favorite quotes come up.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and they don't say a price. They just say
<v Speaker 1>it's available now and they give you a phone number.
<v Speaker 1>This is a scam.
<v Speaker 3>Is also a scam because it's other people's quotes, and
<v Speaker 3>then it says quote the Raven at the end.
<v Speaker 4>So I'm confused.
<v Speaker 1>Shakespeare and shit Edgar.
<v Speaker 4>I'm so confused.
<v Speaker 1>There's quite there from.
<v Speaker 2>There's a quote there from Scott Leaving that said, sorry
<v Speaker 2>about the ending game on this show.
<v Speaker 1>In the next twenty minutes. I apologize. I can't say
<v Speaker 1>sorry enough.
<v Speaker 2>So they come back in the middle of the match
<v Speaker 2>where Cody Michaels. Yes, right, Cody Michaels. Where Cody Michaels
<v Speaker 2>is actually in control, which is nuts, Yeah, franchised. Then
<v Speaker 2>rakes his eyes it Tony Michaels. Cody Michaels, God, damn it,
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry his name is Tony in these notes, Cody
<v Speaker 2>Michael send him to the outside.
<v Speaker 1>That's why I've written down here. Joey Styles is fucking
<v Speaker 1>fired up. He says, Cody Michael's gonna go to fucking
<v Speaker 1>win and he smells it upset.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So then Cody Michaels, yes, not to be confused
<v Speaker 2>with his brother, Tony Michael. Michael, Michael, Michael's shame, Shane Michaels.
<v Speaker 2>All right, So alright, so Coddy Michaels with a chair
<v Speaker 2>on the outside, right, Cody Michaels with the chair on
<v Speaker 2>the outside, and he runs and hits the franchise with it.
<v Speaker 1>That's allowed.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not only allowed, but it's encouraged.
<v Speaker 1>Michael's on fucking fire here, bro.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, he looks great, he's doing well. Cody Michaels sits
<v Speaker 2>the franchise in a chair and then hits a cross
<v Speaker 2>body to him in the chair.
<v Speaker 1>That was awesome off the apron. Yeah, Like I swore
<v Speaker 1>that was gonna be flip bump onto the chair because
<v Speaker 1>that's what happens usually.
<v Speaker 2>Now, Yeah, that's a fantastic spot, Like that's that's awesome, dude.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you see dup chant. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So he rolls them in and it's a two franchise.
<v Speaker 2>Then hit the standing divorce court and a tombstone pile driver.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, not only does he do a tombstone, but he
<v Speaker 1>scoops him up in tombstone position and then unless I'm
<v Speaker 1>you know, just was making things up here, I swear
<v Speaker 1>he fucked him in the face and the tombstone it
<v Speaker 1>was like if road Dog did this move.
<v Speaker 6>What happened?
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I mean I thought maybe he was, you know,
<v Speaker 2>just trying to get him in a position so he
<v Speaker 2>didn't kill him.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, maybe you're right, but it looked to me
<v Speaker 1>like he fucked him in the face.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I can see that the he seen
<v Speaker 2>enough face And so the ref goes to stop the match,
<v Speaker 2>but France scene steps in front of the ref and
<v Speaker 2>says no.
<v Speaker 1>So then the reft just Shane is going for the pan.
<v Speaker 2>Of course, the ref that just says ah, fuck it
<v Speaker 2>all right, whatever, just keep going, you're right, I don't mean,
<v Speaker 2>just try to end the match, my bad so franchise
<v Speaker 2>then dead lifts him up, uh, screams fuck you with
<v Speaker 2>the crowd, and then it hits the belly to belly
<v Speaker 2>to win.
<v Speaker 1>That's that's awesome, and he yells fuck you, and Joey says,
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he said I love you.
<v Speaker 2>So franc scene then tells the franchise to come back
<v Speaker 2>in and wow, do something. What was she signaling for?
<v Speaker 2>Break his neck? Maybe?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's right. Break because he's breaking people's necks.
<v Speaker 2>It looks like she was like, stab him, stab him
<v Speaker 2>in the neck.
<v Speaker 1>I was like.
<v Speaker 2>That he comes in his steps, Cody Michael's in the neck.
<v Speaker 1>That's getting fucking fridge. So if you could think of
<v Speaker 1>all the ways in wrestling that you could break somebody's neck,
<v Speaker 1>I want you all to like think about what that is.
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of them, because there's been, you know,
<v Speaker 1>a lot of moves over the years.
<v Speaker 3>That do just a neck breaker.
<v Speaker 1>Neck breaker, maybe a pile driver, maybe pile driver to
<v Speaker 1>stone without theatrics fuck his face. Uh, you know, there's
<v Speaker 1>a lot. What you said, Jar buss buster. Yeah you could,
<v Speaker 1>like there's a lot of them, but no driver. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 1>ohen driver, that's true, a lot of I mean, like
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of them, James, what one does Shane
<v Speaker 1>Douglas try to break Cody Michael's neck.
<v Speaker 2>With the hurt lock.
<v Speaker 1>Swinging her lock like I was, I was, I mean
<v Speaker 1>maybe nineteen ninety six. This was like over so like,
<v Speaker 1>are okay, but like to me, this looked fucking ridiculous.
<v Speaker 1>This looks you guys have been a full dust and
<v Speaker 1>he's swinging him around in the air, his legs are dangling.
<v Speaker 1>Oh he's gonna break his fucking neck.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So, I mean this whole thing is pretty ridiculous
<v Speaker 2>because Pip number two decided that he has to look
<v Speaker 2>really really good tonight. So Bibbold Pitmo number two comes
<v Speaker 2>out and franchise powders as everyone tries to come out
<v Speaker 2>and stop this dude again. Yes, the franchise comes back
<v Speaker 2>in with a chair and tries to hit him with
<v Speaker 2>a chair in the head, but pit Bull just nos
<v Speaker 2>sells it.
<v Speaker 1>He no sells it crazy and he fires up, which
<v Speaker 1>of course leads to Shane running away.
<v Speaker 2>A Looney Tunes esque chase ensues.
<v Speaker 1>Around the ring until the greatest way to put it,
<v Speaker 1>because it is like, I don't know if they meant
<v Speaker 1>for it to be funny. I imagine it was not
<v Speaker 1>meant to be funny because this is an angle about
<v Speaker 1>this dude. Shane dug is breaking this guy's partner's neck.
<v Speaker 1>But the ridiculous manner that Fibble chases and the length
<v Speaker 1>of time that he chases them is out rating.
<v Speaker 3>Shane Douglass is taking like a brisk jog. He's not
<v Speaker 3>even running, He's like bare.
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's so much shit around the ring and so
<v Speaker 2>many people. There's four dudes, there's fucking all the announcers
<v Speaker 2>and ringside guys and tables and Rossier throwing her cameras cross.
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to put that back there real quick. Hurts.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry.
<v Speaker 3>He's jumping over the cross to get the ring and
<v Speaker 3>tried to get out of here, asking what's going on?
<v Speaker 2>Is that a real mood?
<v Speaker 1>Is this a shooter or work?
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure he's happening to you.
<v Speaker 1>Does he really break his neck with.
<v Speaker 2>So Pitbo chases him around the ring until the franchise Tony,
<v Speaker 2>you put it great. By the way, he's briskly jogging
<v Speaker 2>around the ring, and when he gets back in the ring,
<v Speaker 2>he's still briskly jogging, and then it's fran scene and
<v Speaker 2>it knocks her down.
<v Speaker 3>And this is the most ridiculous web I've ever seen
<v Speaker 3>anyone dogging.
<v Speaker 1>He went over.
<v Speaker 6>He just not even closer.
<v Speaker 3>He totally shoulder checks and she flies on the guy
<v Speaker 3>like she's done. He's not even close to her, and
<v Speaker 3>then he just takes a b light over her and
<v Speaker 3>knocks her over.
<v Speaker 6>It's so funny.
<v Speaker 1>Brice Jong makes me think, like now picture Ship was
<v Speaker 1>doing the Santino, I was.
<v Speaker 2>Thinking like very exaggerated shoulders, That's what I was thinking.
<v Speaker 3>He's doing a Brice Jong knocks over fans seat like
<v Speaker 3>crazy son of a gun.
<v Speaker 2>She gets nhilated. He just so checks her. Fancy's been
<v Speaker 2>bow driven and fucking dude with a super bomb.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, somebody get hit with a car.
<v Speaker 2>Gtam waists first face first on the ground. Tony Ship. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>So he briskly walks through the ring and then sh
<v Speaker 2>ships friend.
<v Speaker 1>She was on one help she was on one hp,
<v Speaker 1>and you think that would lead to maybe someone being
<v Speaker 1>upset about this or franchise.
<v Speaker 2>Franchise knocks her down and then gets out of the ring.
<v Speaker 2>And then Pipple looks at her and he goes to
<v Speaker 2>pick her up.
<v Speaker 1>And then all the boys grab him. He fucking goes.
<v Speaker 1>He looks at her leg on the ground and he
<v Speaker 1>starts beating his chest. He picks her up, as James said,
<v Speaker 1>then all the boys fucking grab pull him off of her.
<v Speaker 1>Then Shane Doug so.
<v Speaker 2>I just want to let you know, I thought the
<v Speaker 2>segment was over. I was like, okay, Pitple goes to
<v Speaker 2>pick her up, but the boys grab him.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and when Shane will obviously drag her out and
<v Speaker 1>we're out of here right right. But no, no, Shane
<v Speaker 1>Douglas is now back in the ring. The boys, including
<v Speaker 1>carrat top, are the holding two Piple number two and
<v Speaker 1>Shane Douglas hit leaps over the guys hits him in
<v Speaker 1>the head with the television title which Piple number two
<v Speaker 1>once again, no cellside. Oh my god, this felt like
<v Speaker 1>this felt like this.
<v Speaker 2>Was not what they were supposed to do.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and they're just going for it. Yeah, we filmed it.
<v Speaker 1>We can't cut around this. We have to get this
<v Speaker 1>shit in here. So he noticells the title shot. He
<v Speaker 1>goes after Shane again. Uh, he's bumping everybody in the
<v Speaker 1>fucking ring again. And then is there a commercial here
<v Speaker 1>or is it just like it goes to this, Joel Girtner.
<v Speaker 2>Pot, no, dude, so franchise powders. And then the pit
<v Speaker 2>bull is walking around the ring pushing guys. They all
<v Speaker 2>get out of the ring, and then Joel Gertner slides
<v Speaker 2>in the ring with a sports jacket and no.
<v Speaker 1>Shit, Joey Styles says, what is this hemorrhoid doing in
<v Speaker 1>the ring?
<v Speaker 2>She was just on commentary. So he got down from
<v Speaker 2>the eagle's nest and just ran over here. I have
<v Speaker 2>to announce the finish of the match.
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to prove his worth here and he's he
<v Speaker 1>dub He's gonna come down here and let it know
<v Speaker 1>so that the crowd channing fuck him up. And Joe
<v Speaker 1>Gertner says, ladies and gentlemen, the official time of the fall.
<v Speaker 1>And Pitpole's looking at this dude like, what the fuck?
<v Speaker 1>I just no sold everything? What can I do? And
<v Speaker 1>he walks up to Joel Gurtner and Joel says, excuse me,
<v Speaker 1>you're in my camera shot and he bunches him away.
<v Speaker 2>That is nuts. You just watched the guy no sell
<v Speaker 2>forty to the head with.
<v Speaker 1>A title shot in all and John Joel Gertner says
<v Speaker 1>the top of the fall, not even enough time for
<v Speaker 1>me to get my dress, shoes on your winner and
<v Speaker 1>still e c w oh shit.
<v Speaker 2>Pitbull then grabs it, takes him over to the ropes
<v Speaker 2>and then fall Away slams them over the ropes on
<v Speaker 2>all the boys on the outside.
<v Speaker 1>The fuck and then he gets his music and he celebrates.
<v Speaker 2>So November to remember nineteen ninety five, that was last year,
<v Speaker 2>Remember that it was now.
<v Speaker 1>Get it on home video that sad his return to
<v Speaker 1>the arena. See him take on the shaw he's reintroducing
<v Speaker 1>him to hardcore bro. Also check out the Sandman and
<v Speaker 1>two Cold Scorpios battle with the Public Enemy and the
<v Speaker 1>shot the show is saman dancing.
<v Speaker 2>Going nuts fortnit emoting that's me when I get a
<v Speaker 2>number one victory Royale.
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember Sandman's spirit on Twitter where he was
<v Speaker 1>constantly winning.
<v Speaker 2>For It's a good era.
<v Speaker 1>Taz is shocking betrayal of Todd Gordon on this show
<v Speaker 1>and the unedited, uncensored all out war between Raven and
<v Speaker 1>Cactus Jack as they collided with Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk,
<v Speaker 1>and then we get another recap of November to remember
<v Speaker 1>from last year again.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure why Hype Central. So Joel isn't there
<v Speaker 2>because he just got his ass kicked. So it runs
<v Speaker 2>down the shows again, and then it has a screen
<v Speaker 2>at the end of year that says E. Cw acknowledges
<v Speaker 2>and appreciates the assistance of the following in the production
<v Speaker 2>of this TV show, and it lists all these things
<v Speaker 2>that list Tommy Boy Music, Mattador Records, Death Throat, Interscope,
<v Speaker 2>DGC Records, House of Paint, and Stonecutter Media. So thank
<v Speaker 2>you to all these companies for allowing us to use
<v Speaker 2>all this music. So it goes to the back after
<v Speaker 2>it says that, and Joel says, I'm not going on
<v Speaker 2>I want my mommy.
<v Speaker 1>Like full full, just a monotone. He's fucked, He's fucked here.
<v Speaker 2>Then we get Chris Candido versus Spike Dudley.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, yes, so Spike was already in the ring, and
<v Speaker 1>they go backstage to Joey, and Joey says, let's give
<v Speaker 1>an old fashioned homecoming welcome, Welcome to his opponent, who
<v Speaker 1>should be a familiar face to us all and it's
<v Speaker 1>fucking Chris Candido. Chris Candido. It comes out to back
<v Speaker 1>and black. Joey Stole says, the face looks familiar, only
<v Speaker 1>the names have changed to protect the guilty, the guilty
<v Speaker 1>of not appreciating true talent. That is, Chris Candido is
<v Speaker 1>in the east of the arena, and then there's a
<v Speaker 1>huge Candido chant followed by a we want Sonny chant.
<v Speaker 1>And I believe there's all so like a sunny thing
<v Speaker 1>later on, because I think Sonny's in the eagles nest
<v Speaker 1>and the crowd can see her, Like that's what I thought. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I think that's right.
<v Speaker 2>They were chanting something else. I just couldn't make it out.
<v Speaker 1>Oh it was Skip is Dead. That was the other one.
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, yeah sure, because that was what is wfkiiing.
<v Speaker 2>Sure, Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I was like,
<v Speaker 2>what the fuck could they possibly be channing?
<v Speaker 1>Shit is ass?
<v Speaker 2>So? Uh yeah, Candido and Spike Dudley little match here.
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, Little Spike Dudley also Candido out here. He
<v Speaker 2>out wrestles Spike to start the match. Spike tries to
<v Speaker 2>use his agility when his wrestling won't work. So he
<v Speaker 2>hits the head scissors, but Candido just German suplexam right
<v Speaker 2>on his head.
<v Speaker 1>He fucking released German dump Spike on his head. Like
<v Speaker 1>we're not even in the era of Spike really getting
<v Speaker 1>his ass kicked yet. So that's like they're like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>this guy can die.
<v Speaker 2>Let me see more.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let me see more.
<v Speaker 2>So Candido is in full control now. He hammer throws
<v Speaker 2>Spike into the buckle Brett style.
<v Speaker 1>And dies on that too. He like he hits the
<v Speaker 1>buckle with his chest but also his face.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because I guess he's so short, right, So he
<v Speaker 2>just takes the crowd is distracted by something. I think
<v Speaker 2>that's sunny.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I think you're right.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Candido then puts Spike on the top rope and
<v Speaker 2>like I could feel the goosebumps on my arm.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, I was like, I know what's happening next.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So Candido goes up Man Spike. Dudley's sitting there.
<v Speaker 2>Candido goes up Man Blonde Bombshell stands all the way
<v Speaker 2>on the top rope. I mean this shit is otherworldly, man, good,
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. Blonde Bombshell is a fucking power bomb.
<v Speaker 2>Where Candido stands on the top rope with you and
<v Speaker 2>then power bombs you both while on the top rope
<v Speaker 2>into the ring.
<v Speaker 1>It's also like he throws you right like you're going.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and it is fucking awesome. It's one of my
<v Speaker 2>favorite finishes ever.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. It's it's gotta be one of the best moves
<v Speaker 1>of all time. Like, if I saw this, that's the
<v Speaker 1>world champion now.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, dude, this is the most like top guy
<v Speaker 2>finish ever.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, man, Like, what the fuck? This just's fucking so awesome,
<v Speaker 1>And Joey Styles says, oh my god.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm showing this on everything. Yeah, anything I can.
<v Speaker 2>This is kind of shit that happens out here. And
<v Speaker 2>Spike just getting watched.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, is I mean, like, how do you even land
<v Speaker 1>without rocking your head like he wants he was fucked
<v Speaker 1>up from that, and Candido pins him after he like
<v Speaker 1>lays them for the pin, does a push up, let's
<v Speaker 1>go of the pin, and the referee just counts the
<v Speaker 1>three anyway, like yes, it's done.
<v Speaker 2>So Candido grabs a mic and cuts a promo afterwards
<v Speaker 2>about uh obviously leaving the WWF.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he says, uh, you know, I want you all
<v Speaker 1>to know I made my decision earlier this week that
<v Speaker 1>WWF has taken my wife off the road doing WWF
<v Speaker 1>live wire, and Joey Styles says, oh, Bruce from Connecticut
<v Speaker 1>might call that, which that was when fucking Paul Hayman
<v Speaker 1>called in he was Bruce from Connecticut on live Wire.
<v Speaker 1>Candido says, I don't have a bet thing to say
<v Speaker 1>about anybody.
<v Speaker 2>Man.
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a lot of stuff I wouldn't have
<v Speaker 1>if it wasn't for Vince McMahon. But I want you
<v Speaker 1>guys to know I gave my notice to come back
<v Speaker 1>to the place that I was at the very first
<v Speaker 1>show in this building, and I'm proud to be back
<v Speaker 1>in the most famous Bengal hall in the world. I'm
<v Speaker 1>proud of be a part of the guys that bust
<v Speaker 1>their stinking ass every night and not a locker room
<v Speaker 1>full of assholes like Cody Michael's brother Michael's shades. And
<v Speaker 1>I'm here now to raise this place up to the
<v Speaker 1>upper echelon of this business, to take it from the miserable,
<v Speaker 1>stinking shithole it is right now, and he does the
<v Speaker 1>fucking up yours city leaves. That's awesome, Okay, that was quick.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, great, great everything here like it. They're happy to
<v Speaker 2>see him and not anymore fuck you. So two Cold
<v Speaker 2>Scorpio versus the sand Man that's gonna be your main
<v Speaker 2>event for this episode of Hardcore TV ECW heavyweight title match.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, two Cold Scorpio and Sandman are I'm pretty sure
<v Speaker 1>they're boys here, like that's story, right, their best friends,
<v Speaker 1>and Scorpio is getting a shot here. I'm pretty sure
<v Speaker 1>the crowd's pretty behind Scorpio. In fact, I think they
<v Speaker 1>want him to win this.
<v Speaker 2>Sure.
<v Speaker 1>Sandman is.
<v Speaker 2>Right now a top guy and will continue to be
<v Speaker 2>a top guy forever. So it's like you can always
<v Speaker 2>go back to Sandman, but everyone's always excited to see
<v Speaker 2>someone new take that spot too, right.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's right. And sad Man, as you said, top
<v Speaker 1>guy here. He comes out with Sandman's shirt and what
<v Speaker 1>I think is barbed wire pajamas and he like, I
<v Speaker 1>mean the beer that he drinks is I mean, he
<v Speaker 1>holds it. He might as well have tried to hold
<v Speaker 1>it to the ceiling like this shit is a fucking
<v Speaker 1>fountain his fucking face.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's got the pants on, cracks a beer like
<v Speaker 2>cool dude. So we come back from commercial Scorpio has
<v Speaker 2>a wristlock on the sand Man. Here, we're getting right
<v Speaker 2>into the action. Scorpio grabs a chair and Sandman grabs
<v Speaker 2>his cane, and they meet in the middle of the ring.
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome.
<v Speaker 2>But they both put them in their respective corners, and
<v Speaker 2>they go to the middle and handshake and hug. But
<v Speaker 2>Scorpio needs them and throws them into the chair in
<v Speaker 2>the corner heavy at all.
<v Speaker 1>He fucking throws him so hard into that chair. And
<v Speaker 1>then the story of you know, the next part of
<v Speaker 1>his matches, Scorpio stopping Sandman from getting the cane, which
<v Speaker 1>I thought was awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So Scorpio starts using the cane on the Sandman.
<v Speaker 2>Saman ducks under Scorpio and goes for the cane, but
<v Speaker 2>Scorpio stops him with the kick. I thought that was
<v Speaker 2>really well done. Yeah, yeah, I like the story here,
<v Speaker 2>Scorpio with the Alabama jam on Sandman for a two.
<v Speaker 1>I wrote that down.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, dude, I like the Scorpio is just spamming top
<v Speaker 2>rope moves.
<v Speaker 1>That's what he does.
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I do listen to the video games when I'm not thinking,
<v Speaker 2>and I just keep going back to the top rope
<v Speaker 2>until they stopped me. So Scorpio with a moon salt
<v Speaker 2>on the Sandman for a two. Sandman is actually sideways
<v Speaker 2>trying to grab the cane when Scorpio lands right on him,
<v Speaker 2>right on his side. I know that hurd.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, I legit. I wrote down. He lands like how
<v Speaker 1>Kurt Angle landed when he broke Bob Holly's arm.
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was he was, like it was so great.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, like weird. Scorpio goes back up to the
<v Speaker 2>top rope again, like one of these moves is gonna
<v Speaker 2>put you away, But this time saman gets the cane
<v Speaker 2>and hits.
<v Speaker 1>Him hard as fuck.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, if that's your gimmick, you gotta.
<v Speaker 1>Swing right, you gotta throw it. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So Saman then hits the Frankensteiner off the top.
<v Speaker 1>That's not to.
<v Speaker 2>Hear that car respective top guys kirk. So Scorpio catches
<v Speaker 2>him in a bower slam and then goes back up
<v Speaker 2>to the top rope.
<v Speaker 1>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>It looks for the moon salt leg drop based move,
<v Speaker 2>but it, dude, I mean, it's fucking it's unreal. It's
<v Speaker 2>literally unreal. A moon salt leg drop.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's fucking nuts. Who oh fucking uh. I mean, like,
<v Speaker 1>you know, we see a lot of impressive ship, but
<v Speaker 1>like moon salt leg drop, I feel like it's still
<v Speaker 1>a rare move that not a lot of people do.
<v Speaker 1>And like I got a similar feeling when I saw
<v Speaker 1>uh Blake Christian he did the fucking four to fifty
<v Speaker 1>doubles stomp.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's the hammer sign show. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Wow, that's sick as funk that move.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it was. It was an awesome move. I
<v Speaker 2>remember I felt like that when I saw Sanjay Dutt
<v Speaker 2>do the moon stop.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you've seen him do the moon stop to Sexy
<v Speaker 1>Eddie's cocking.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he picture perfect, his dick in balls. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how he's even functioning anymore, but shout.
<v Speaker 1>Out five, you know, five pounds of cock meat. You
<v Speaker 1>know he's got a lot left.
<v Speaker 2>He's got four now the stop. So Scorpio looks for
<v Speaker 2>the moon salt leg drop of Missus lands fucking mean
<v Speaker 2>on the on the mat. Yeah, and like the ring
<v Speaker 2>is not moving, like I can't imagine that one No,
<v Speaker 2>and Sandman crawls over and pins him for the three.
<v Speaker 1>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>Scorpio kicks out at three point one, So sad Man
<v Speaker 2>just escapes as it backfires on Scorpio here and is
<v Speaker 2>able to be his best friend.
<v Speaker 1>I think there was bullshit chance. Oh is that what
<v Speaker 1>it was? I swear that's that's what I think it was.
<v Speaker 1>I think people might have been tired of Salmon's run
<v Speaker 1>here like his champ. He might have been three time
<v Speaker 1>champ by this point.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's a good chance. I also I also think
<v Speaker 2>that they're excited to see the next angle right that
<v Speaker 2>coming up? People, Yes, right now.
<v Speaker 1>So it's time to get into the nitty gritty here.
<v Speaker 1>So Samon wins, as James said, he's now celebrating with
<v Speaker 1>the Caine and the championship and outcomes Tyler Follington, Sandman's son.
<v Speaker 1>Because for months now, Saman's son has been brainwashed, as
<v Speaker 1>has Salmon's wife, who he may or made out of
<v Speaker 1>his sex with before my wife. Yeah, they have been
<v Speaker 1>brain werewashed by Raven for a while. So Samon's kid
<v Speaker 1>has been dressing up as Raven and following them him
<v Speaker 1>around and YadA, YadA, yadas. So this is like the
<v Speaker 1>first time in minute that Samman's son is in the ring.
<v Speaker 1>He's now dressed as his dad and Joey says, Oh,
<v Speaker 1>it's Tyler. He's just like his dad. We've been waiting
<v Speaker 1>to see this. It's like a feel good moment. He's
<v Speaker 1>there and sam Man takes a knee, opens his arms,
<v Speaker 1>hugs his son. The crowd's fucking happy. They're like, wow,
<v Speaker 1>this is awesome, what a sweet moment. Saman has his
<v Speaker 1>son back. Even Joey says, that's great. And then all
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, fucking Raven Raven jumps the rail, He
<v Speaker 1>hits the ring, he picks up the Singapore game that
<v Speaker 1>Samon dropped to hug his son, and he fucking hits his.
<v Speaker 2>Like he's got to save it.
<v Speaker 1>He's swinging for the fences. Tyler does the Raven pose.
<v Speaker 2>That second, just for a second, pops it like he
<v Speaker 2>like pre pops it.
<v Speaker 1>Just so you know. It's really like that dad, and
<v Speaker 1>Raven hits the fucking even flow. He kills sam Man
<v Speaker 1>and Samon crumbles on it. And that's where the show ends,
<v Speaker 1>the TV show at the very least. But that's not
<v Speaker 1>how things really ended here. As we said a bunch
<v Speaker 1>on the show, I'm sure a lot of you have
<v Speaker 1>heard the story, but if you haven't, we'll go over
<v Speaker 1>it here. So Raven then drags Sandman through the ropes
<v Speaker 1>where Meeni and Stevie have stacked two tables or maybe
<v Speaker 1>a table on top of the timekeeper's table. Raven drags
<v Speaker 1>Salmon on top of that and Paul drives him through
<v Speaker 1>due to the floor. Then this is where the business happens.
<v Speaker 2>So that's where Kurt Angle's life changed forever.
<v Speaker 1>I imagine Kurt's sitting in the eagles nest is this
<v Speaker 1>is happening like a front row seats.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, I mean like this is I mean, what
<v Speaker 2>a coincidence of things to happen, right? Oh yeah, He's
<v Speaker 2>definitely getting no more pages from Paul Hayman after this.
<v Speaker 2>We lost them.
<v Speaker 1>So under the ring is a crucifix and Stevie Richards
<v Speaker 1>and the Blue Mini are here and they are tying
<v Speaker 1>the Sandman to a crucifix. They put a barbed wire
<v Speaker 1>crown on his head. They hoist the crucifix up so
<v Speaker 1>we're on the floor. He the crucifix is leaning against
<v Speaker 1>the ring and Sandman is crucified, Salmon is crucified. His
<v Speaker 1>son and wife are doing the Raven taunt. Raven's posing
<v Speaker 1>with the easy w title. This is like the most
<v Speaker 1>evil thing I've ever seen in my life. Like this
<v Speaker 1>is fucking crazy, but it kicks ass because it's like,
<v Speaker 1>this is what Raven would do. Of course he would
<v Speaker 1>do this. And Undertaker symbolizes dudes in like, you know,
<v Speaker 1>two years.
<v Speaker 2>Ago, it's okay symbolizing, right, I mean he had the Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he had the Crown of Thorns.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, which you know maybe.
<v Speaker 2>I mean ship was badass, I mean like terrified.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, i mean she's over as fuck. Yeah that was cool.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so like Sandman's there, he's bleeding on this cross.
<v Speaker 1>They got crazy shots of it. Todd, Gordon and security
<v Speaker 1>try to come out to like, you know, they they
<v Speaker 1>try to get Samon off of it. Instead, they decide
<v Speaker 1>to keep him on it and then carry him out
<v Speaker 1>like Jesus to the back, crucifies.
<v Speaker 2>Everyone in the back. He's pushing through everybody, he's throwing
<v Speaker 2>off Tyler stopped at the tables.
<v Speaker 1>If he invents the Olympic slam on Sunny and well,
<v Speaker 1>ker Angle thought everything was really should have came out
<v Speaker 1>and say with Sandman help him, yeah, carry And that's
<v Speaker 1>what happens there, and that is why Kurt Angle. So
<v Speaker 1>the word is that Kurt was going to come to
<v Speaker 1>Easty to be Taz brought Kurt in that was all
<v Speaker 1>Taz's thing, supposedly, and Kurt says that this offended him
<v Speaker 1>so badly that he got up door in the show,
<v Speaker 1>went straight to Paul Hayman and said, I'm leaving right now.
<v Speaker 1>I want you to send me my check, and if
<v Speaker 1>my name or face is seen on the same program
<v Speaker 1>as that crucifixion, you'll be hearing from my attorney. And
<v Speaker 1>Kurt says that Paul said he had no idea that
<v Speaker 1>was gonna happen.
<v Speaker 2>PAULI just walking by a large room with a huge crucifix.
<v Speaker 1>In it that the Samman SUTs on his shirt.
<v Speaker 2>Sam Man's just a hammer put it together.
<v Speaker 1>That's the other thing. Salmon built this thing as well
<v Speaker 1>as this guy. He built the cross Cross and that's.
<v Speaker 2>Kind of cool. I think they're gonna put me on it.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not like I didn't hear that. I'm gonna get
<v Speaker 2>on out of here.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, dude.
<v Speaker 3>Even later, Paul Hayman said, Kurt Hangel said, like, if
<v Speaker 3>you're running the show and you don't know what the
<v Speaker 3>fun's happened, and then you're just a bad promoter, like
<v Speaker 3>you're just fad.
<v Speaker 4>There's no way he couldn't have known.
<v Speaker 1>There's no way Paul Hayman didn't know they were putting
<v Speaker 1>salmon on a crucifix. There's no way. I don't believe it.
<v Speaker 2>It was a long segment. You think walked out there
<v Speaker 2>and bere like whoa yeah, or like I guess he
<v Speaker 2>couldn't because kerd Angles kicking his ass and everybody else's.
<v Speaker 1>He threw off the eagles nest, so he was dead.
<v Speaker 1>So because of this, Raven on this show comes out
<v Speaker 1>and apologizes. He comes, he goes into the ring and
<v Speaker 1>he he was He's told by fucking Paul Hayman and
<v Speaker 1>Todd Gordon. I think, you know, because they wanted to
<v Speaker 1>make Really, I think it's because they wanted to make
<v Speaker 1>good for kerd Angle. Let's put the heat on what
<v Speaker 1>they did. Yes, So Raven comes out and he says,
<v Speaker 1>apparently Todd Gordon and Paul Hayman, by acting without their knowledge,
<v Speaker 1>are offended by my use of religious iconography. And apparently
<v Speaker 1>I've offended quite a few people in the audience. You
<v Speaker 1>people chose to respect Scott Leavey's privacy when I need
<v Speaker 1>a personal time, So I choose to respect your privacy
<v Speaker 1>and your religious beliefs. So for the people I deeply offended,
<v Speaker 1>I apologize, which he says is like the most sincerely
<v Speaker 1>insincere apology he could have given. He just did it
<v Speaker 1>because he was as to do it.
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaving, and this is my apology.
<v Speaker 1>And he said, uh, you know, there was a bunch
<v Speaker 1>of heat from dudes in the back, like, uh, saying,
<v Speaker 1>you know, why didn't they like, because you know, Raven
<v Speaker 1>isn't Catholic, He's Jewish, So why didn't you know they
<v Speaker 1>put Raven on a Star of David and Raven said,
<v Speaker 1>love they would have did that. I would have rolled Sam,
<v Speaker 1>I would have rolled away. Awesome. That's pretty fucking heavy.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's gonna be a lot of crazy shit,
<v Speaker 1>and like, obviously there's a lot of crazy shit that
<v Speaker 1>happens in wrestling after this. I don't know where it compares,
<v Speaker 1>but like the fact that this like had such potentially
<v Speaker 1>a shift in the history of wrestling with how Kurt
<v Speaker 1>Angle's career goes, Yeah, pretty noteworthy.
<v Speaker 2>So I think the big thing really with it is
<v Speaker 2>that especially during the nineties, uh specifically and even the
<v Speaker 2>eighties to a little bit there was the big Satanic panic, right.
<v Speaker 1>Sure.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, people were just like really on the lookout for
<v Speaker 2>that sort of thing. That was a big hot topic
<v Speaker 2>in America too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I think that like kind of leaning in
<v Speaker 2>that way right there, just all all of that timing
<v Speaker 2>up with that kind of stuff, you know, satanic panic,
<v Speaker 2>with the whole country Kurt Angle being there, right, I
<v Speaker 2>mean like there's just a lot that this was just
<v Speaker 2>the wrong night to even attempt something of that nature.
<v Speaker 1>Sure yeah, I mean that's one probably could have been
<v Speaker 1>left in the uh left in the idea book. But
<v Speaker 1>that is it for Eacidy Hardcore TV. October twenty ninth,
