TLFX-Games Round 2 - 'Stone Cold v. Vince'

<v Speaker 1>There are feuds, and there are feuds in the history
<v Speaker 1>of professional wrestling, and already and going through the round
<v Speaker 1>of sixteen of the TLFX Games Tournament, We've seen Dusty
<v Speaker 1>Rhodes and Rick Flair face off against each other. We've
<v Speaker 1>seen great families like the Funks and Von Erics and
<v Speaker 1>the Hearts have at it. We've seen great promoters face
<v Speaker 1>off against some of their greatest assets, when the likes
<v Speaker 1>of Rnngana faces Andre the Giant. But perhaps no great
<v Speaker 1>feud in the history of this business has been revisited
<v Speaker 1>quite like this encounter we'll put back upon the table.
<v Speaker 1>It's really the feud that in so many ways reverse
<v Speaker 1>the fortunes of the World Wrestling Federation in late nineteen
<v Speaker 1>nineties and now it represents a huge demarcation line and
<v Speaker 1>a King of the Cast tournament for the ages. It's
<v Speaker 1>of course brought to you by garage beer, small batch
<v Speaker 1>light beer, flavored beer. Definitely not an IPA. It's garage beer.
<v Speaker 1>When the garage is always open and we're about to
<v Speaker 1>open up the floor to the great micro men in
<v Speaker 1>the history of the business. They feuded, they've hated each other,
<v Speaker 1>They've aligned and then feuded once again, and they've taken
<v Speaker 1>wrestling fans on a one of a kind ride, both
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes and behind the camera. Now, when the
<v Speaker 1>TLFX Games King of the Cast tournament it's on, it's
<v Speaker 1>lapsed Vince McMahon and lapsed Stone Cold Steve Austin. Let's
<v Speaker 1>hear first from the Texas Rattlesnake, the multi time WWF
<v Speaker 1>champion Steve Austin. You know, I'm sitting here at the house.
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at a couple of pictures of some of
<v Speaker 1>the things we've done over the years, Vince, and in
<v Speaker 1>all those years, twenty plus years, thirty plus years, forty
<v Speaker 1>by forty plus years, six hundred years. Sign. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know what the math AD's up to, but I know
<v Speaker 1>that for way too long now you've been pissing me off.
<v Speaker 1>And that's about the last straw for Stone Cold Steve Austin.
<v Speaker 1>You know, this goddamn tlf X Games King of the
<v Speaker 1>Cast tournament opened up and I was hearing that maybe
<v Speaker 1>the lapsed fan doesn't really represent Steve Austin, that well,
<v Speaker 1>maybe they don't imitate the Texas Rattlesnake that well, Son, well,
<v Speaker 1>I just got done thrown a few hay bales in
<v Speaker 1>the back of the truck. I just got done riding
<v Speaker 1>atv around my multi acre property for no particular reason
<v Speaker 1>and flip flops. I just got done doing a damn
<v Speaker 1>TikTok of my cat's son. And I can tell you
<v Speaker 1>I'll take that pussy over any pussy within the sound
<v Speaker 1>of my voice, and that includes you, Vince. I beat
<v Speaker 1>your ass. I've thrown you off cages. I've busted your
<v Speaker 1>wide open, son, I've had you on my damn podcast.
<v Speaker 1>I've looked you in the eye. I saw that for
<v Speaker 1>some reason, your tie was two colors, and I wondered
<v Speaker 1>to myself, you know, well, I ever see this son
<v Speaker 1>of a bitch again? Here I am going through the
<v Speaker 1>Windy's drive through getting myself a flame brawl gimmick or
<v Speaker 1>was that burger king? I don't know. I was wearing
<v Speaker 1>a knee brace though, but I won't have to wear
<v Speaker 1>a knee brace, son to stomp a mud hole in
<v Speaker 1>your ass. In the TLFX games, you know, people talk
<v Speaker 1>about Vince McMahon. They talk about lapsed vans and how
<v Speaker 1>we some some sort of nostradamus or something. Son. Apparently,
<v Speaker 1>if you'll listen to what Lapsed Vince has said. Over
<v Speaker 1>ten years of the Lapsed Fan, You've been able to
<v Speaker 1>predict every major development in this industry in the past decade. Well, Vince,
<v Speaker 1>you know I believed it when I heard it, But
<v Speaker 1>when I heard some of the things you said in
<v Speaker 1>the first round, yeah, assure you. You once again dominated
<v Speaker 1>your lifelong fuck boy and Pat Patterson to get the
<v Speaker 1>stone Cold Steve Auston. But that don't impress me, not
<v Speaker 1>one damn bit. I'm standing here looking across at the
<v Speaker 1>beat the little eyes of a son of a bitch
<v Speaker 1>that's done nothing but lie to Stone Cold, that's done
<v Speaker 1>nothing but try to take money out of the pockets
<v Speaker 1>of Stone Cold, that's done nothing but try to defame
<v Speaker 1>Stone Cold. When I took my ball and went home,
<v Speaker 1>so called, Well, I'm about to take my boss, son
<v Speaker 1>and stick it up your ass and turn this whole
<v Speaker 1>x Games torn him in up on its head because
<v Speaker 1>stone Cold Steve Austin don't lay down for anybody, and
<v Speaker 1>that includes the most powerful man in the history of
<v Speaker 1>the business. I think I proved that over the years.
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm riding off into the sunset, Son, and I'm
<v Speaker 1>sitting on a nest Egg that likes so. But you
<v Speaker 1>never wanted to give anybody, let alone the black trunk's
<v Speaker 1>wearing former stunt in Steve Austin that you didn't even
<v Speaker 1>think was worth a damn when you had me fucking
<v Speaker 1>cut my hair like John Travolta or whatever the fucking
<v Speaker 1>pulp fiction I'm standing here, so Bruce willis sorry what
<v Speaker 1>I don't even care compare me to whoever.
<v Speaker 2>You want in Hollywood.
<v Speaker 1>But on this night, Stone Cold Steve Austin's putting the
<v Speaker 1>trunks back on, Son. I'm strapping on those knee braces,
<v Speaker 1>I'm throwing on that BMF leather vest and the t
<v Speaker 1>LFX game. Son, It's just gonna be another time when
<v Speaker 1>Vince McMahon thought he was gonna get one more over
<v Speaker 1>on Stone Cold Steve Austin and found out quite the opposite.
<v Speaker 1>Was in the cards you can kiss my ass, I
<v Speaker 1>get the hell out of here, starting to piss me off. Well,
<v Speaker 1>it's certainly still clearly the case that just the mere
<v Speaker 1>utterments of the name Vince McMahon brings out a certain
<v Speaker 1>unique fury, and the old stone called Steve Austin, he's
<v Speaker 1>bringing that vigor, he's bringing that fire. He's bringing that
<v Speaker 1>animus to this next round matchup against lapsed Vince. We've
<v Speaker 1>seen all sides of him over ten years of TLF podcasting.
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what he has to say to get past
<v Speaker 1>his great lifelong nemesis, Stone Cold Steve Austin to advance
<v Speaker 1>in the King of the Cast.
<v Speaker 2>You know, people in this world could never be happy
<v Speaker 2>with what they've got. You want more and more and more,
<v Speaker 2>and it's a vicious cycle that just goes on and
<v Speaker 2>on on. And we here in the Vince mcman headquarters
<v Speaker 2>of the universe, the Devil's Home. We know exactly what
<v Speaker 2>people want. We know exactly what greed is, and we
<v Speaker 2>me I like to emphasize greed in other people. I
<v Speaker 2>like to emphasize greed and want and desire and envy,
<v Speaker 2>because when it comes down to it, everybody in this
<v Speaker 2>world is envious of Vincitic Man. Everybody wants what Visitic
<v Speaker 2>Man has. Everybody needs what Vincic Man has. Nobody in
<v Speaker 2>the history of the professional entertainment business lasted as long
<v Speaker 2>as I did. I have been here and I will
<v Speaker 2>always be here. But you may think that I'm off
<v Speaker 2>in a way doing things of that nature keeping quiet,
<v Speaker 2>keeping low. Let me tell you something. My fingers are
<v Speaker 2>always in the pie. I know, I know what you
<v Speaker 2>all think, know what you all want, and maybe I'll
<v Speaker 2>feed you a little tidbits here and there. But when
<v Speaker 2>push comes to shove, Vince McMahon is the one in power,
<v Speaker 2>and so we've got Steve Austin here. He wants something
<v Speaker 2>to He wants to beat Vincenick Mahn. He wants to
<v Speaker 2>move on in this King of the Cast tournament. He
<v Speaker 2>wasn't there at the beginning. I was there at the beginning.
<v Speaker 2>I decided that a Steve Austin would exist. I decided
<v Speaker 2>that a Hulk Coogan would exist. I decided that a
<v Speaker 2>Rick Flair would exist. I decided that a John Cena
<v Speaker 2>would exist. Everybody has existed because of my desire to
<v Speaker 2>make it happen. And we can talk about all the
<v Speaker 2>qualities in the verticals and horizontals of corporate infrastructure, but
<v Speaker 2>what we have going on right now is an age
<v Speaker 2>old feud boss versus employee. We've been doing this stand
<v Speaker 2>since nineteen ninety seven, Steve, and maybe you've had the
<v Speaker 2>upper hand of certain times, or maybe that's what you thought,
<v Speaker 2>Because there is nobody better in this entire universe that
<v Speaker 2>is better at making you think that you've earned something,
<v Speaker 2>at making you think that you won something, at making
<v Speaker 2>you think that you were dominant, than Vince McMahon. Only
<v Speaker 2>one man has proven pure dominance. I've dominated the wrestling industry,
<v Speaker 2>I've dominated the entertain industry, I've dominated football, and I
<v Speaker 2>will dominate the presidency of the United States. No vote
<v Speaker 2>needs to happen, No election needs to happen. Vince McMahon
<v Speaker 2>is was and always will be Steve Austin. You were
<v Speaker 2>my puppet, and I'm the puppet master, and I am
<v Speaker 2>going to take my little puppet and I'm going to
<v Speaker 2>throw him in the fire, watch him burn, and feel
<v Speaker 2>good about myself because I know that you can't win,
<v Speaker 2>and I know that I always win.
<v Speaker 1>Chilling words, and you may be tempted to perhaps take
<v Speaker 1>them at less than face value. But if the first
<v Speaker 1>round of the tlfx G Sames Tournament is any indication,
<v Speaker 1>no one is more dominant than lapsed Vince. His opposition
<v Speaker 1>in the first round, Lapsed Pat Patterson, despite an impassioned
<v Speaker 1>plea to you and the TLF Solar System, only receiving
<v Speaker 1>a measly six point seven percent of the vote. No
<v Speaker 1>one else was defeated as strongly as Patterson was by
<v Speaker 1>Lapsed Vince, who came in with an astounding ninety three
<v Speaker 1>point three percent of your first round vote. As for
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin, he was able to topple Lapsed Lord Alfred
<v Speaker 1>Hayes eighty point seven percent to nineteen point three percent,
<v Speaker 1>also a very impressive differential, but dwarfed in magnitude by
<v Speaker 1>that of the leader in terms of first round percentage.
<v Speaker 1>Get Lapsed Vince. It's going to be another collision for
<v Speaker 1>the Ages between the Texas Rattlesnake and the Chairman of
<v Speaker 1>the Board, and that will do it for the TLFX
<v Speaker 1>Games event center for this our round of sixteen in
<v Speaker 1>the King of the Cast. Who will make it to
<v Speaker 1>the eight, Who will make it to the quarterfinals? Who
<v Speaker 1>will make it all the way to being crowned the
<v Speaker 1>greatest character in the history of the Lapse Fan podcast
<v Speaker 1>ten years running of podcasting. The vote will soon be
<v Speaker 1>in your hands. Keep your eyes and ears on the
<v Speaker 1>Lapsed fans X account for your chance to pass judgment
<v Speaker 1>and to cast your vote to determine the King of
<v Speaker 1>the Cast. I'm Sean Mooney, and we'll see as soon
<v Speaker 1>as the tlf X games unfold.
