Ep. 396: WWF In Your House: Buried Alive (Part 2)

<v Speaker 1>And we're very much back. You can say that the
<v Speaker 1>initials TLF boss just just popped out of the dirt.
<v Speaker 1>I I agree, Light, It's time for us to deep
<v Speaker 1>dive and six feet deep. The bard A live pay
<v Speaker 1>per view from October nineteen ninety six at Market Square
<v Speaker 1>Arena in Indianapolis, again coming off an exceptionally weak Madison
<v Speaker 1>Square Garden House show that featured Sean Michaels an Undertaker
<v Speaker 1>against Goldust and Mankind in the main event, with Marow
<v Speaker 1>and Ferrouke for the Icy Strap and the co feature
<v Speaker 1>in Austin Versus Vega. Sounds like what was supposed to
<v Speaker 1>be the bared of live pay per view was a
<v Speaker 1>piece of shit MSG show.
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, what I mean? That's that's not MSG quality, gentlemen.
<v Speaker 2>What's what's what's the diz brother?
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't expect them to knock down the doors for
<v Speaker 1>hbcn Taker versus gold Dust and Mankind?
<v Speaker 2>Well, certainly what expect them to do? Uh? To do
<v Speaker 2>that for Austin and Vega? Right? So that was no
<v Speaker 2>I mean I say it, I say it every time
<v Speaker 2>we get we cross ninety six, Steve Austin, I just
<v Speaker 2>do not understand how much why he loves Savio Vegas
<v Speaker 2>so much as I mean, I know it's probably an
<v Speaker 2>in ring thing, and and it's got to do more
<v Speaker 2>with like what happened in the ring than it has
<v Speaker 2>to do with actual enjoyment of the encounter. But man,
<v Speaker 2>I just I it's something that just blows my fucking
<v Speaker 2>mind every time I think about it, how much he
<v Speaker 2>loves it, how much he loves Socca Vio Vega, like
<v Speaker 2>thinks these matches are the fucking shit.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it did something I think, Uh, you know,
<v Speaker 1>it's like probably the first time he felt at home
<v Speaker 1>and having having a place in the WWF. And you're
<v Speaker 1>gonna you're gonna give the guy you're sharing the ring
<v Speaker 1>with a little bit of the credit for that feeling.
<v Speaker 2>I guess. But man, it just it's just I can't
<v Speaker 2>ever get past it.
<v Speaker 1>And further to the point, Vader and sid were facing
<v Speaker 1>off against each other in that MSG card as well,
<v Speaker 1>which according to this piece, Here did about six thousand,
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred fans paying one hundred and forty six grand
<v Speaker 1>at the gate Here, bart Alive and Market Square did
<v Speaker 1>about the same amount nine thousand and six four nine
<v Speaker 1>eight thousand and two three eight paid. So yeah, let's
<v Speaker 1>let's try to do more people at the Garden than
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis Market squat Arena.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, member, and yeah I can. You can totally see
<v Speaker 2>what what what what? Bitchard's always talked about how the
<v Speaker 2>nWo just made wrestling great right for all around? Right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's what he's saying. Yeah it sounds good. Yeah he did.
<v Speaker 1>He didn't have you guys in your feelings coming out
<v Speaker 1>up with fake razor and diesel at all.
<v Speaker 2>Let's not forget to you.
<v Speaker 1>There's also the exact time period where they were so
<v Speaker 1>in their feelings about Jeff Jarrett that they had road
<v Speaker 1>Dogs start to do the confessionals about being the real
<v Speaker 1>voice of the song.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's right.
<v Speaker 1>That was going on at this precise same time as well.
<v Speaker 2>Because he was over in WCW doing this shit.
<v Speaker 1>It's made the jump, and you're about to get all
<v Speaker 1>saucy about mister perfect as well.
<v Speaker 2>Not a good time over there. No, that's what I
<v Speaker 2>I just there's such a bullshit statement about them. You know, well,
<v Speaker 2>we're doing great houses.
<v Speaker 1>And listen if Brett slipped through their fingers in ninety
<v Speaker 1>six May Day, May Day, Yeah, you know what I mean.
<v Speaker 1>Because Austin wasn't ready. No, Austin still needed Brett all
<v Speaker 1>people to make him.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's wanna say exactly Austin needed Brett specifically. I mean, sure,
<v Speaker 2>of course WrestleMania, but he wouldn't have gotten to WrestleMania
<v Speaker 2>had it not been for Survivor Series. So true.
<v Speaker 1>And look, if if a Brett Heart doesn't come in
<v Speaker 1>with kind of an eye and an ear for making
<v Speaker 1>a new heel, there's no way Steve Austin gets a
<v Speaker 1>main events inaet ninety six. That that was all Brett
<v Speaker 1>being like, this is the guy I want to work
<v Speaker 1>with because I see something in them. It's not unlike
<v Speaker 1>Austin when he got the belt to No. One and
<v Speaker 1>turned heel insisting on working with Eddie Yep, yep, who
<v Speaker 1>never would have had that King of the Ring main
<v Speaker 1>event and ben Wall wouldn't have been if not for.
<v Speaker 2>Instance, Eddie wasn't in the main event at wrestle that's
<v Speaker 2>King of the Ring, King of the Ring.
<v Speaker 1>On one triple threat.
<v Speaker 2>It was ben Wan Jericho.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's right.
<v Speaker 2>He did have a program with with there. There was
<v Speaker 2>something it started one. I think that was an O two.
<v Speaker 2>Actually that was it two, Okay, I feel like it
<v Speaker 2>was O two where they had I remember, I just remember.
<v Speaker 2>I remember them kind of squaring off on raw for
<v Speaker 2>a second, like they were they were teasing it, and
<v Speaker 2>then it just kind of didn't go on.
<v Speaker 1>That's why I remember it, because the lore is that
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin requested to work with Eddie Guerrero during that run. Now,
<v Speaker 1>whether it actually ever happened on pay per view, no,
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, you're right. I put Eddie and Jericho spot there. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but I Buried Alive again. Was up from the October
<v Speaker 1>ninety five show. Though, if you're not up from October
<v Speaker 1>ninety five WWF, then the lights are off basically.
<v Speaker 2>That's uh. That was Oh that was the Diesel one
<v Speaker 2>where yeah Jesus Christ. Yeah, seriously, if you're not up
<v Speaker 2>from October ninety five with fucking Diesel getting you know,
<v Speaker 2>getting dreamed at by Vince McMahon after the main event there.
<v Speaker 1>The Davy boy Man event, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Gate was
<v Speaker 1>up as well at well.
<v Speaker 2>Was that great White hype? Was that something else? Right?
<v Speaker 1>White North?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Great? Were North? Sorry? That was that one. I
<v Speaker 2>wasn't sure if that was of the December one is.
<v Speaker 1>In December season beating seasons beatings.
<v Speaker 2>You're right, You're right, Brett does the big blade job. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So all told, it's actually an encouraging night for
<v Speaker 1>WWF in your house, buried alive because while the gate
<v Speaker 1>is is is someone limited one hundred thirty five thousand dollars.
<v Speaker 1>It was, according to The Observer and other reports at
<v Speaker 1>the time, the largest crowd and gate in Indianapolis since
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania ninety two at Hooser Tom souh Okay, that's pretty sad.
<v Speaker 1>It's a big difference between one and two.
<v Speaker 2>That's a that's a big difference. It's a difference of
<v Speaker 2>about fifty two thousand.
<v Speaker 1>We never managed to do between six thousand and fifty
<v Speaker 1>two thousand people in this city until nineteen ninety six.
<v Speaker 2>Six.
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, that's awful. So just so want to think
<v Speaker 1>about Hulk Coogan. The WWF logo at the title sequence
<v Speaker 1>is red and yellow the World Wrestling Federation.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I got this through the through the video package.
<v Speaker 2>Here here it is, oh, World Wrestling Federation.
<v Speaker 3>We're over fifteen years, the solutionary force in sports entertainment.
<v Speaker 2>But before I get to the video, actually, so what
<v Speaker 2>I never understood is and and I remember feeling this
<v Speaker 2>in in ninety six and ninety seven, and why the
<v Speaker 2>why the fucking horror music? The yeah, and why the
<v Speaker 2>thunder and lightning? Why all this stuff? This is? This
<v Speaker 2>was not just for this show, this was for every show.
<v Speaker 2>It was. Yes, I never understood why the dark and
<v Speaker 2>kind of haunting thing about it, like why yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>Now it's like, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, what is this.
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't set a hype, It sets like a an end.
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like an end.
<v Speaker 2>It's weird. I just I never I never understood why,
<v Speaker 2>why it was why I had this kind of this dark,
<v Speaker 2>sinister opening with the logo like I what do you?
<v Speaker 2>What are you proven? What are you trying to say?
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, here's here's the package, full existence. It's death,
<v Speaker 2>darkness and the destruction of you mankind. I'm a mission
<v Speaker 2>of you, undertaker. I must be your judge, your jury
<v Speaker 2>in your execution. A vision of undertaker. Don't you try
<v Speaker 2>and imagine what those last few fast.
<v Speaker 3>Like a vision of you filling your mom.
<v Speaker 2>Try to imagine what are you doing?
<v Speaker 4>Christ?
<v Speaker 5>Am going to bury you a lot? You have been
<v Speaker 5>sentced to eternal damnation.
<v Speaker 6>Sony's Place Station presents Buried a line.
<v Speaker 2>Interesting. They don't say in your house buried alive. Now
<v Speaker 2>they don't just says buried alive. The music, by the way,
<v Speaker 2>so so that that it is a I think I've
<v Speaker 2>done this before, but I'm want to do it again.
<v Speaker 2>So this is the WWE's version. This is the called
<v Speaker 2>Collision Course. It's some of their what do you call it?
<v Speaker 2>Stock yes, stock production themes. Yeah, they use this all
<v Speaker 2>the time. Back then, I loved it.
<v Speaker 1>I loved it my heart yep.
<v Speaker 2>But what it actually rips off, though, and I've done
<v Speaker 2>this before, is bram Stoker's Dracula the soundtrack. Here is
<v Speaker 2>the track number two off of the bram Stokers Dracula
<v Speaker 2>soundtrack Vampire Hunters. It's a very it's a very clever. Actually,
<v Speaker 2>I want to do something here. This is oh, here
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna get dirty. Here, We're gonna get dirty. What
<v Speaker 2>Because I always love I love how if you just
<v Speaker 2>change just a few notes and a little bit of
<v Speaker 2>the of the of the kind of the cadence of
<v Speaker 2>the notes and whatever, and the beat a little bit,
<v Speaker 2>it's it's enough of a change that it's not ripping
<v Speaker 2>off somebody else. Yeah, but here I'm going to try
<v Speaker 2>to play them at the same time. Let's see how
<v Speaker 2>this goes. Oh, hold on, okay, I got a.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, come on, interesting.
<v Speaker 2>And the theme for Van for Dracula comes in first.
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of eerie. Actually, yeah, I'm kind of hidding
<v Speaker 2>like it's very, very uncomfortable.
<v Speaker 1>Put in a different frame of mind than expected to be.
<v Speaker 2>Sony's PlayStation presents Buried Alive.
<v Speaker 1>That's Sony's apostropheys, not Sony PlayStation. We hadn't decided yet
<v Speaker 1>that was enough.
<v Speaker 2>Sony possessive, possessive, Sony possesses the PlayStation.
<v Speaker 1>I invite to consider a time where not enough people
<v Speaker 1>knew what a PlayStation was that putting Sony's apostrophe s
<v Speaker 1>in front of it stood to further enhance the brand.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah alive, Yes, so here comes the power row again.
<v Speaker 1>Still in your house, event though they don't have the
<v Speaker 1>house set, do they not the whole thing? Oh no,
<v Speaker 1>they don't know the whole thing yet because they's no garage
<v Speaker 1>and stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because they got the thing there at the the
<v Speaker 2>grave site. Grave site.
<v Speaker 1>So it's starting to eat away at the peripherals of
<v Speaker 1>what we've come to know is in your house. And

<v Speaker 2>over there in the truck.

<v Speaker 1>Yes, Sophie, no no, no, no no, and says you
<v Speaker 1>can hear everybody has a mic because everybody has the
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to speak their mind here in the wild Rosslyn Federation.
<v Speaker 1>You know Vince is struggling with business. When he starts
<v Speaker 1>with an open forum, anybody can bring anything they want
<v Speaker 1>on their signs, Come one, come all documentary.
<v Speaker 2>When he starts talking about freedom of speech, yep, you know,
<v Speaker 2>you know there's trouble.
<v Speaker 1>Right triple chat with a woman laying on his shoulder.
<v Speaker 1>This is the time when he could just rotate these
<v Speaker 1>dames that would walk them to the ring and.
<v Speaker 2>Me any idea who she is?
<v Speaker 1>No, no clue. No, they usually just hired models in
<v Speaker 1>the area. Sure, that's what they would do. You can
<v Speaker 1>see a dirt mound in the background.
<v Speaker 2>The models in Indianapolis. I guess it's not nice. Hey,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I'm not from there. I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>You can find plenty of the poke bars and whatnot,
<v Speaker 1>say looking down at the ringsiders down as knows is
<v Speaker 1>Triple H definitely a commentary in his grabowskis yellow W
<v Speaker 1>Dowa F logo in the corner red white and blue robes.
<v Speaker 1>You know where we need to be. God that beautiful
<v Speaker 1>PS one logo.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh it's it's unbelievable, all all this stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, I mean, as much as I prefer
<v Speaker 2>the the shiny metallic WW logo, I still you know,
<v Speaker 2>I enjoy the new generation logo as well.
<v Speaker 1>I enjoy it. It's definitely my number two. It's no
<v Speaker 1>one close to the shiny metallic We all know this,
<v Speaker 1>but everybody knows this. But I meant more, just the
<v Speaker 1>color scheme of the of the ring's still intact, you know,
<v Speaker 1>bless it.
<v Speaker 2>J R.
<v Speaker 1>Goes is my Mike working now or not? That's going
<v Speaker 1>to be the first of several times. He says that.
<v Speaker 1>During the broadcast, Vince mentions that Fruke is out of
<v Speaker 1>action due to the free for all attack. He had
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity tonight to become in a cuntmental champion to
<v Speaker 1>defend instead Mark Merrick to defend instead against gold Dust.
<v Speaker 2>So what was what was issue there? Do do we
<v Speaker 2>talk about it? I don't remember.
<v Speaker 1>I'm that attacks him in the back of the two bios, I.
<v Speaker 2>Know, But what really happened? Why did that all go down.
<v Speaker 1>At a real groin injury? Oh yeah, suffered. I'm not
<v Speaker 1>sure when exactly. Uh he actually did have like a
<v Speaker 1>kidney issue from an omed kick, but I think that
<v Speaker 1>was after this whole thing, when.
<v Speaker 2>Every everybody who has an issue with an omed kick.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, he would heard a lot of people
<v Speaker 1>out there, no question about it. Latherersas amed to be
<v Speaker 1>suspended for life. I would suggest some action is likely
<v Speaker 1>to be taken. I want to give you a guess
<v Speaker 1>as to who's quote that. So there's a triple H
<v Speaker 1>kind of spotlight graphic on the canvas as he enters
<v Speaker 1>the ring. Backstage, Kevin Kelly is with Steve Austin.
<v Speaker 2>Yes he is. Do you want to do it? I
<v Speaker 2>got it? We gotta recording unless you want to go
<v Speaker 2>for do it.
<v Speaker 1>Man, let's hear it in the voice of so great.
<v Speaker 1>Let's hear this fucking monster and insist on no longer
<v Speaker 1>being cooped up in.
<v Speaker 2>A box exactly. This is, this is this was so
<v Speaker 2>great about him and again you watch you watch those
<v Speaker 2>raws from this period, and it's just like it's all
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin. It's his fucking show here.
<v Speaker 5>Listen, tell you what's done.
<v Speaker 2>Old sambi Ovega now injured.
<v Speaker 8>Does your game plan change now that you get to
<v Speaker 8>face Hunter Hurst Helmsley?
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't change my game plan one bits, because I
<v Speaker 3>already said Stone Cold's got a list.
<v Speaker 5>And everybody's on it.
<v Speaker 3>There ain't a damn thing wrong with Savie Old Vega,
<v Speaker 3>and I know that for a fact. I give Hunter
<v Speaker 3>Hurst all the credit in the world because he's got
<v Speaker 3>the gut to step in.
<v Speaker 5>The ring with me.
<v Speaker 3>As far as Bret Hart coming back for Monday Night Raw,
<v Speaker 3>I hope it's to announce his retirement, because if it's not,
<v Speaker 3>the Stone Cold will retire him.
<v Speaker 5>And that's the bottom line.
<v Speaker 3>As far as anyone having a problem all of a
<v Speaker 3>sudden with the language the Stone Cold is using where
<v Speaker 3>they can just.
<v Speaker 5>Kiss my ass.
<v Speaker 9>Steve Austin on his way and a lock up one
<v Speaker 9>Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
<v Speaker 5>He's a mean got a very foul mind, what a
<v Speaker 5>mean guy, he's shout.
<v Speaker 7>Up the welcome wagon, like, man, what's the GOUTA.
<v Speaker 5>Understand is that everybody can't be censored here.
<v Speaker 6>Some of us have a little bit of Rona Corona
<v Speaker 6>ideas and have the courage.
<v Speaker 2>I let to continue because it's very interesting, uh uh
<v Speaker 2>to hear what Vince eventually says about about stone Cold.
<v Speaker 9>Notwithstanding you cannot take away the rustlink still from stone
<v Speaker 9>Colds to beame off do.
<v Speaker 5>Indeed, I believe it's destined to be one of the
<v Speaker 5>great ones here in the world Rustling Federation.
<v Speaker 9>But then again, time will sort of prove.
<v Speaker 6>That or not.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, I think improved it as he walks to the
<v Speaker 1>ring to shadow Glass for the first time, right exactly,
<v Speaker 1>it's on, folks.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, just think about actually think about all those
<v Speaker 2>kind of coincidences happening at the same time, massive period
<v Speaker 2>the music, and then and then Vince talking about how
<v Speaker 2>he may be one of the greats, all time greats.
<v Speaker 2>You're damn right. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>You know what do you know if you start talking
<v Speaker 1>about somebody like they're going to be a big deal
<v Speaker 1>before they are they become one.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it used to piss me off though, well,
<v Speaker 2>because you know, you know why because I caught onto
<v Speaker 2>it very early in my face and where they're you know,
<v Speaker 2>you're always hyping, and I get it, you kind of
<v Speaker 2>have to. Yeah, it isn't always whip. You're always hyping
<v Speaker 2>who is current and not. You know, if I heard
<v Speaker 2>that at the time, I would have been like, I
<v Speaker 2>don't know about that. Yeah, all time greats. I don't know,
<v Speaker 2>he's not hul Cogan. I would have said that. I
<v Speaker 2>would have said he's not hul Coogan.
<v Speaker 1>But it would not have planned a seed that would
<v Speaker 1>give him a little more of leeway to prove that
<v Speaker 1>he could be because they had already framed him that way.
<v Speaker 2>I thought he was going to be great. I didn't
<v Speaker 2>think I didn't know he was going to be as
<v Speaker 2>great as he was. I don't think anybody but yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I mean I I was like, you know again, I
<v Speaker 2>told you for him jumping to w W was that
<v Speaker 2>was was a moment for me. It was like, oh shit,
<v Speaker 2>like you know, it was a it was a victory
<v Speaker 2>in this one sided war for a while where everyone's
<v Speaker 2>going to w W and it's like someone's actually coming
<v Speaker 2>over here. Ah. I mean, I like WW But you know,
<v Speaker 2>I I didn't it wasn't my, my, my promotion fascinating.
<v Speaker 1>Well, even in these early days, the j R Steve
<v Speaker 1>bas the Alliance in full effect, as you heard JR.
<v Speaker 1>Lay the soundtrack down Austin so walking and talking there,
<v Speaker 1>staring into the camera as Austin and then just like
<v Speaker 1>lunging at fans like don't touch me, middle finger? Do
<v Speaker 1>a kid in a Shawn Michael's kangle hat so great?
<v Speaker 1>My god, does he walk to that ring and when
<v Speaker 1>he takes the corners, when it gets in there, I
<v Speaker 1>think you can hear that pop ever so subby like this.
<v Speaker 2>There is killing it there. I mean it's there his head.
<v Speaker 2>Ye yep, he I I have I have no doubt
<v Speaker 2>that he knows he's onto something. I have no doubt.
<v Speaker 1>Amazing audio keeps cutting out and says, I can't work here.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure we talked about this, but what.
<v Speaker 2>Like who who? Who gave? Was it his idea to
<v Speaker 2>do the to do the language or was it a
<v Speaker 2>choice like yeah, was it a Was it a choice
<v Speaker 2>by Vince to say, you know, we'll start doing language,
<v Speaker 2>but I'm gonna because it's it's interesting that it's about
<v Speaker 2>there that he's allowing it to happen on TV. But
<v Speaker 2>at the same time he's got to play up like
<v Speaker 2>the apologies and stuff like that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's going to call attention to the fact that
<v Speaker 1>he swear right or up to the point you just
<v Speaker 1>do it. I think it all started with the three
<v Speaker 1>sixteen promo I just whipped your ass, and because he
<v Speaker 1>got ass over and that in that catchphrase. You know,
<v Speaker 1>it's not like no one said ass before him, but
<v Speaker 1>then that became his thing, whip your ass. Yeah, and
<v Speaker 1>then pretty soon he's.
<v Speaker 2>Got them well bad talk about ass right, like ass.
<v Speaker 1>You can't overstate like how important it was that they
<v Speaker 1>were struggling. They were reaching for anything, yes, and had
<v Speaker 1>any any semblance of like a charting a new course
<v Speaker 1>for them, something that felt fresh because they're their old
<v Speaker 1>bag of tricks was just not working anymore. It just
<v Speaker 1>smacked of desperate attempts to reconstitute the Hasbro era. And
<v Speaker 1>here they were like, Okay, I mean, people are going
<v Speaker 1>nuts for this. It's not like there's there's not like
<v Speaker 1>any chosen ones that are bankable that we can turn
<v Speaker 1>to anymore. And he just kept fucking swearing. It's tremendous, tremendous,
<v Speaker 1>so good and you're starting to get whether they realize
<v Speaker 1>it or not, you're starting to get the Austin mcmon
<v Speaker 1>thing over even this early as events being the skuld
<v Speaker 1>you know.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it was. It was such a wonderful,
<v Speaker 2>beautiful natural progression. Oh between ninety six and ninety seven
<v Speaker 2>and then ninety eight, it just they just fucking pulled
<v Speaker 2>the trigger on it.
<v Speaker 1>I know the nWo was such a transformative angle, but
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, Austin McMahon, that's even more impressive.
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, I mean they're they're you know, because they're
<v Speaker 2>they're even though we I know that that they were
<v Speaker 2>kind of you know that their plans were all you
<v Speaker 2>know that that the Austin Rise came out of serendipity
<v Speaker 2>more than anything else. Yeah, but it's like, you know,
<v Speaker 2>when they kind of went with it, when they obviously
<v Speaker 2>they decided to go with it in certain stages and
<v Speaker 2>kind of you know, let's let's push it this far
<v Speaker 2>it there. There seemed to be more fought into it
<v Speaker 2>than the n w O. Yeah, yeah, I think so.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, the nWo is sort of like all right,
<v Speaker 1>it's all we have to do, just set, set it
<v Speaker 1>and forget it right.
<v Speaker 2>Right, exactly. It's like just kind of throw whatever together
<v Speaker 2>and see what happens. Like they're they're they're there. Definitely
<v Speaker 2>seemed to be a more loose, chaotic you know, uh
<v Speaker 2>format over in WCW. Even at this point, I'd say, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>There are only so many times they could come to
<v Speaker 1>that crescendo where it's like, Okay, now the nWo gets THEIRS,
<v Speaker 1>that's how wrestling works. And they didn't get THEIRS, and
<v Speaker 1>it keeps going, keeps going. It's like, Okay, they're not
<v Speaker 1>building anything that's gonna actually get you invested in, like
<v Speaker 1>the nwo's full trajectory. It's just like it's just going
<v Speaker 1>to be the n WO until you get bored with it.
<v Speaker 1>Whereas Austin it was like they're investing in every twist
<v Speaker 1>and turn of the mcmah angle. They're like they're making
<v Speaker 1>it even though it's the same feud over and over again.
<v Speaker 1>It's taking different turns. It's trying to go in a
<v Speaker 1>different direction before you get bored with it, instead of
<v Speaker 1>when it's too late, right, which is what the nWo
<v Speaker 1>was because it was Inman's obsessions, it was working. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>what's more impressive And I'm asking this. I'm asking this
<v Speaker 1>honestly because I'm not sure the nwo's ability to get
<v Speaker 1>WCW pass WWF and the ratings war and become the
<v Speaker 1>dominant number one wrestling company in the world, which nobody
<v Speaker 1>saw happening, or that after that kind of damage was
<v Speaker 1>done and WWF was that much set on its back
<v Speaker 1>foot that Steve Austin and Vince McMahon is a feud
<v Speaker 1>brought them all the way back to the point that
<v Speaker 1>ww was out of business within you know, within the
<v Speaker 1>matter of years after these two started show.
<v Speaker 2>Five years after this show, it's gone, yeah, I mean, geez,
<v Speaker 2>and it was five years think about five years after
<v Speaker 2>this show. There is no WCW so ridiculous.
<v Speaker 1>And the first Austin McMahon confrontation in the ring in
<v Speaker 1>ninety eight, the first match, so to speak, was the
<v Speaker 1>first row to beat Nitro after that incredible run, right,
<v Speaker 1>and it's and they never looked back.
<v Speaker 2>It's there, you know, because you know, and it's again
<v Speaker 2>one of those weird it's one of those weird things
<v Speaker 2>where the you know, because and I talked about this
<v Speaker 2>with Hogan and how the nWo was such lightning in
<v Speaker 2>a bottle simply because of the fact that the majority
<v Speaker 2>of the crowd were rejecting the hull Cogan that was
<v Speaker 2>being presented the Red and Yellow. And the only way
<v Speaker 2>you could have rejected hul Cogan and the Red and
<v Speaker 2>Yellow is to have the enormous success that he had
<v Speaker 2>in the eighties, and that he the fact that he
<v Speaker 2>was doing the same fucking shtick in the nineties, it
<v Speaker 2>makes you resent him and so then you turn him
<v Speaker 2>at that right moment and it's fucking game on. But
<v Speaker 2>you had to have all that shit happen in order
<v Speaker 2>to make that work, because it wouldn't have been nearly
<v Speaker 2>as successful if it was you know, if it was Sting,
<v Speaker 2>if it had been Sting, because there was there was
<v Speaker 2>no fan resentment towards Sting ever, you know, so it
<v Speaker 2>just wouldn't have had that. It might have been a
<v Speaker 2>huge impact, but it would not have had the the
<v Speaker 2>cultural impact, not even close, that that Hogan had on it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, heal Sting isn't going on QVC, you.
<v Speaker 2>Know, right exactly, and right because they wouldn't have been
<v Speaker 2>they wouldn't have been anti heroes. They would have just
<v Speaker 2>been plain old heels, right, you know, they wouldn't and
<v Speaker 2>then the same thing you really Austin McMahon also lightning
<v Speaker 2>in a bottle because of the fact that the only
<v Speaker 2>way that people actually want to see Vince McMahon get
<v Speaker 2>his ass kicked is all the shenanigans from the eighties,
<v Speaker 2>the steroid trials, all the shit, Like, there's such deep
<v Speaker 2>rooted resentment from a fan towards this guy, but you
<v Speaker 2>don't really know it per se Well.
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting because you think about your point that you
<v Speaker 1>needed so many years of Hogan being long in the tooth,
<v Speaker 1>going back into the to the well over. No, we're
<v Speaker 1>done with the red and yellow horseshit. In a lot
<v Speaker 1>of ways, you get long in the tooth, Vince in
<v Speaker 1>the elite announced position. Forget like the out of the
<v Speaker 1>ring scandals in the newspaper headlines. Just this Vince that's
<v Speaker 1>always the arbiter of the arbiter of good behavior on
<v Speaker 1>the television show, the guy calling out the heels and
<v Speaker 1>the guy taking all this umbrage of the bad guys.
<v Speaker 2>And the fact that he's always trying to build another
<v Speaker 2>whole cogin yeah, and not actually move forward.
<v Speaker 1>Right, And here's Steve Austin, who couldn't be more anti
<v Speaker 1>just like be like, no, I'm sorry you were stuck
<v Speaker 1>with me as your top guy because that's what the
<v Speaker 1>moment calls for. Yep, and here's a stunner for your pleasure.
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're damn right so great. So yeah, there's
<v Speaker 1>the back and forth Jr. Two And look here we're
<v Speaker 1>seeing heel Vince. I mean to me, I know they
<v Speaker 1>thought in their mind that this was a heel character
<v Speaker 1>that Jr. Was playing, that he was some representation of
<v Speaker 1>who they saw in the tower and the offices who
<v Speaker 1>pissed them off and was cranky all the time.
<v Speaker 2>And but it's like.
<v Speaker 1>Guys, like your New York piece is shit, like the
<v Speaker 1>people that piss you off for heroes to anyone who's
<v Speaker 1>not from New York right right, right.
<v Speaker 2>Or wrong, he's he's you know. That's the thing is
<v Speaker 2>they don't really realize that that that Jr. Is speaking
<v Speaker 2>for the people.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Cornett's been doing this his whole life now, his
<v Speaker 1>whole second life in Podkulvi. So you know, he's just
<v Speaker 1>like the anti that And there's way more people in
<v Speaker 1>that category than there are people who you know would
<v Speaker 1>sit in uh in an office in Stanford and you know,
<v Speaker 1>snicker about the way Rastlin has done in other parts
<v Speaker 1>of the world, and right why people love wrestling in
<v Speaker 1>other parts of the of the country. So yeah, Jr's
<v Speaker 1>baby face here. I mean, you heard the promo on raw,
<v Speaker 1>He's clearly the babyface. And here's the Steve Austin refusing
<v Speaker 1>to let Vince stop him from swearing to me, this
<v Speaker 1>is it. This is We're seeing the raw material of
<v Speaker 1>Austin McMahon right here on the.
<v Speaker 2>Show, the unbeknownst beginning of that of of what would change.
<v Speaker 1>The game because it's Jim Ross, of all people, edging
<v Speaker 1>Vince into the heel category because he's so good at this,
<v Speaker 1>you know, talking off the top of his head, being
<v Speaker 1>licensed to go at Vince as he would, you know,
<v Speaker 1>grumbling under his breath right here. It is so Vince,
<v Speaker 1>you know, keeps promising we'll get that headset straightened out,
<v Speaker 1>and they never do when everyone at home knows he
<v Speaker 1>could get it fixed if he wanted to.
<v Speaker 2>Exactly here, I got, I got that for you.
<v Speaker 5>There should be a very innything match. I'm a coast.
<v Speaker 8>Either of these two men are or overwhelming fan.
<v Speaker 5>Favorites, to say the least, but both they're great at
<v Speaker 5>what buddy I kicked work here? If my my damn, hey.
<v Speaker 9>Hey, we're having an audio difficulty with mister rossis microphone.
<v Speaker 5>I come here, I come here.
<v Speaker 8>Mike's and working his mind working, Yes, McMahon's working.
<v Speaker 5>Of technical difficulties.
<v Speaker 2>See that's a heel.
<v Speaker 5>That's all fixed it. May I know what it is
<v Speaker 5>to Vince? Wait, is it?
<v Speaker 4>That's what we gonna do with it?
<v Speaker 8>I'm sure that you Sack.
<v Speaker 5>We'll get all that straightened up.
<v Speaker 2>He's such a jack. He's such a fucking prick, smug
<v Speaker 2>oh you know, piece of ship things. He can just
<v Speaker 2>figure it out.
<v Speaker 1>Thinks he can just make them make the right face
<v Speaker 1>and and dictate the mood in the room every time.
<v Speaker 1>You know, Austin versus hun Hers Helmsley, we're underway here
<v Speaker 1>in your house, buried alive, both pointing at ringside at
<v Speaker 1>that woman that uh triple H walked to the ring.
<v Speaker 1>But she's mortified to be out there. Oh yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>mean she's like what someone said, this was a modeling?
<v Speaker 2>But am I gonna get my check exactly? Because like,
<v Speaker 2>well you get it after the show. What you gotta
<v Speaker 2>We don't pay you.
<v Speaker 1>At ringside I mean, we.
<v Speaker 2>Gotta we gotta count the gate.
<v Speaker 1>Count what Yeah, because she deserves a certain credit of
<v Speaker 1>a certain percentage.
<v Speaker 2>Of the gate, you gotta count the gate. And then
<v Speaker 2>after everyone else is paid, you get paid whatever's left.
<v Speaker 1>Over and in accordance with prevailing industry practice, exactly whatever
<v Speaker 1>it says in the contracts. Back then lock up an
<v Speaker 1>urn track by a triple A. Jr. Continues cutting in
<v Speaker 1>and out. Triple H takes a bow as Austin stew's
<v Speaker 1>in the corner, having been beaten to the punch, and
<v Speaker 1>the catches catch can game. Vince calls Stone cold Steve
<v Speaker 1>Austin a consummate athlete.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I have that one. I think I
<v Speaker 2>don't know, maybe I have this. I keep going.
<v Speaker 1>You can hear the rustling of j R's mic as
<v Speaker 1>they kind of try to switch him out to a
<v Speaker 1>new microphone, but they're not really trying to fix it.
<v Speaker 1>But they show him at ringside pretending this total moron
<v Speaker 1>trying to pretend to fix it. Austin jaw jacks with
<v Speaker 1>two fans in the front row who were raring to go.
<v Speaker 1>One of them even looks like, areno a bit? But
<v Speaker 1>uh fan? Look at her of Vince says, I don't
<v Speaker 1>think that's necessarily a her. Yes, okay, oh yeah, there's
<v Speaker 1>a comment about an androgynous fan, and Lawler pops at that.
<v Speaker 1>Lawler calls calls this woman a typical hoosier. So I'm
<v Speaker 1>sure she's glad she went to the show. Jar says,
<v Speaker 1>is anybody paying any damn attention to me?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? That's what I got here. It comes into this
<v Speaker 2>whole thing.
<v Speaker 5>What is this? Whoa look at her?
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's a big yea.
<v Speaker 5>Certainly not the beauty that he brings, the rings. This
<v Speaker 5>is gonna work without her? What? I don't think so?
<v Speaker 8>I think this is gonna be all right. Typical Hughes.
<v Speaker 8>Who's you're over there? I thought that is a hermit man?
<v Speaker 8>Is anybody damn it? I can't work let's plan adition?
<v Speaker 2>I mean back pickw shay are I can't work on conditions?
<v Speaker 1>Goes what Stone cold Steed at Foston? Okay, Wow, lock up,
<v Speaker 1>arm drag double bird war onto something here. This guy's
<v Speaker 1>just gonna say ass on promos if he's gonna step
<v Speaker 1>into that ring, that red, white and blue kid friendly
<v Speaker 1>ring and ninety six and flip the middle finger. To
<v Speaker 1>his opponents. I gotta be with the guy that doesn't
<v Speaker 1>give that much of a fuck.
<v Speaker 2>I have no choice. Yeah, oh yeah, no you have to,
<v Speaker 2>because like he's he is single handedly changing the game.
<v Speaker 2>Fuck it. Yeah, it's brilliant. I mean, you know, Austin,
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you, I really don't think Austin that this,
<v Speaker 2>you know, during this period of time, gets nearly as
<v Speaker 2>much love as he really should.
<v Speaker 1>He is doing it. It's not like they're we're cooking
<v Speaker 1>up a plan for him to succeed. He is going
<v Speaker 1>out there, even when he's still opening match against a
<v Speaker 1>late replace him an opponent, and he's doing the little
<v Speaker 1>things that make the people say, you know what, I
<v Speaker 1>if I attach myself to this guy and I and
<v Speaker 1>I care about this guy, he's not gonna let me down. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna do shit in that ring that doesn't take
<v Speaker 1>me out of it. That keeps me convinced that he
<v Speaker 1>is who he says he is, and who he is
<v Speaker 1>just happens to be a bad motherfucker who's going to
<v Speaker 1>kick some ass, which is why I come.
<v Speaker 2>To pro wrestling. Yeah, that's exactly it.
<v Speaker 1>Jr's like this is getting a little old. I'm telling
<v Speaker 1>you Stone holds Steve Austin with the headlock takeover back up,
<v Speaker 1>Triple H throws some forearms to the ribs. Steve Austin
<v Speaker 1>shifts to the hemmerlock, and Triple H tucks into back elbow.
<v Speaker 2>JR.
<v Speaker 1>Asks if everyone's excited about Brett Hart coming back tomorrow night,
<v Speaker 1>and JR. Says he's responsible for Brett being on row
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night.
<v Speaker 2>Cut to JR.
<v Speaker 1>At ringside, just fumbling mightily with his equipment, saying this
<v Speaker 1>is a conspiracy. Yells at this PA that's trying to
<v Speaker 1>help him. I don't know where you came from, he
<v Speaker 1>says to him, because they clearly like trying to portray
<v Speaker 1>this guy someone who really doesn't even know how to
<v Speaker 1>fix this equipment, who's out there trying to help JR.
<v Speaker 1>There's a mister perfect chant breaking out.
<v Speaker 2>It's so it's just so fucking hilarious how they're trying
<v Speaker 2>they think that this is going to make him a heel.
<v Speaker 2>It's so funny.
<v Speaker 1>Some of my favorite stuff ever, yeah, is when they thought,
<v Speaker 1>like the Charlotte Becky Lynch turn, Like they thought Charlotte
<v Speaker 1>was gonna be the baby face when Becky slapped her
<v Speaker 1>in the face it guys, what is wrong with you?
<v Speaker 1>Like the biggest I mean, and Becky went on to
<v Speaker 1>be a huge name and star and draw after that
<v Speaker 1>heel turn. And they don't no clue, no clue when
<v Speaker 1>they're making a huge star versus when they're not.
<v Speaker 2>Because no clues. They don't because you know, they always
<v Speaker 2>think that it's the it's it's the polished you know, choice, right,
<v Speaker 2>is what's going to get over. I mean in a
<v Speaker 2>weird way. Vin sick Man is like the polished choice
<v Speaker 2>for this. But what it's not, it's it's usually the
<v Speaker 2>scrappy worker who who busts his ass or her ass
<v Speaker 2>or their ass, yep in order you know, to get
<v Speaker 2>them to make sure that they're seen aside to the
<v Speaker 2>fans react to because they can recognize hard work and
<v Speaker 2>people working their ass off.
<v Speaker 1>So true, so simple too, mister perfect chant again, he'll
<v Speaker 1>be returning against Triple H tomorrow night on Raw.
<v Speaker 2>They talk about.
<v Speaker 1>Of course, that would not come to pass. As we
<v Speaker 1>explained in part one, there's an exchange with some slaps
<v Speaker 1>in Austin drops Triple H, who rolls out of the
<v Speaker 1>bring Tim White presiding by the way, rest in peace.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he is.
<v Speaker 1>Lawler says, if a Hunter beat Steve Austin and mister Perfect,
<v Speaker 1>he'll be the number one contender for the WWF title.
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of a jump.
<v Speaker 1>That's a jump, yeah, mister Perfect, he hasn't wrestled in years,
<v Speaker 1>therefore has no rank whatsoever. I mean, and a Steve Austin,
<v Speaker 1>who's opening match, still.
<v Speaker 2>Right, I mean Austin is not you know what about
<v Speaker 2>beating the innercondinal champion. Maybe that to me is more
<v Speaker 2>of a jumping, a jump to the world title contendership.
<v Speaker 2>But what do we know?
<v Speaker 1>Tight zoom on Steve Austin's icy glare, lock up and
<v Speaker 1>headlocked by Triple AH push off tackle down, goes Austin.
<v Speaker 1>Austin then gets up and throws an elbow like a hammer.
<v Speaker 1>Almost yes he does, and then a snapmarre and a
<v Speaker 1>knee drop to the chest. Scrambles to cover like a
<v Speaker 1>madman and gets too and to a snapmar and arm bar.
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin staying on hunter Hurst towns lee Vince's Triple
<v Speaker 1>Ah is a consummate performer. Indeed, you're the World Rustling
<v Speaker 1>Federation here.
<v Speaker 2>I got that whole, I got that thing. That uh,
<v Speaker 2>he's called both of them. Yes, yes, I don't think
<v Speaker 2>that's is that. I guess it's possible. Sure, trigger, but
<v Speaker 2>you know, he talks about stuff and then we talk
<v Speaker 2>about Connecticut after this and talks about and it totally
<v Speaker 2>triggers JR. It's sucking money.
<v Speaker 5>Hurt sounds like from Greenwich, Connecticut.
<v Speaker 2>Hey, look at that playing the.
<v Speaker 5>Hair pully now the American blue Blood, a lot of rich. Eric.
<v Speaker 2>Did I jump ahead? Maybe maybe I jump ahead?
<v Speaker 1>And there was the match.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's not a big gal, all right. I
<v Speaker 2>thought I had him talking about the consummate. Why do
<v Speaker 2>I think I had it?
<v Speaker 1>The consumme?
<v Speaker 2>The come I gotta let well, I don't know I
<v Speaker 2>got this play out.
<v Speaker 1>I guess Austin driving a knee into the arm, over
<v Speaker 1>and over again, working over Triple H on the canvas.
<v Speaker 1>Vince says on WWF title the scene can be said
<v Speaker 1>about stone cold Steve Austin that if he defeats Triple
<v Speaker 1>H and then mister pervert whoever he might in contenttion
<v Speaker 1>for the championship, and j R. Suddenly snaps and goes,
<v Speaker 1>all right, that's it. I can't hear myself. I like
<v Speaker 1>to hear me every now and then Vin says, I'm
<v Speaker 1>not surprised at that. God, Jared pops back. That was
<v Speaker 1>a wristlock, by the way, McMahon, Yeah, so I noticed.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well, I've heard such things.
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine why they didn't let this guy testify
<v Speaker 1>it his behalf of his trial.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, could you imagine if you got cranky Jr.
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm talking about Vince oh Sean o'shay in his face.
<v Speaker 1>All I do understand, dude, I do understand that's what happened.
<v Speaker 2>I understand. You know, these are the things that you've suggested.
<v Speaker 2>I can neither confirm her or I that anything happens.
<v Speaker 2>But you're here telling me that put me in And
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you that's your opinion, and I respect your opinion.
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>They have an open forum here, as you know, counselor, and.
<v Speaker 2>We have freedom of speech, and we live in America.
<v Speaker 1>Don't lecture me about the constitution, mister McMahon.
<v Speaker 2>Well, don't lecture me about my business.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, However, you presupposed to lecture me about how to
<v Speaker 1>run a sports entertainment company.
<v Speaker 2>Presuppose yes, Yeah, he'd say something like that.
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin cranking. What JR says a greka Roman knuckle lock,
<v Speaker 1>and then Triple H pokes the eye and says, what
<v Speaker 1>was the technical name of that? Jr's fucking Do they
<v Speaker 1>think it's funny that JRS holds?
<v Speaker 2>I know, like like it's such a joke, right, It's
<v Speaker 2>like you know their business right then, you know, if
<v Speaker 2>it's such a joke, then yeah, what are you doing?
<v Speaker 1>To the corner? Triple H with the chops corner to
<v Speaker 1>corner Web Boston gets the boot up on the charge.
<v Speaker 1>Split screen shows the announcers while the wrestlers are in
<v Speaker 1>the ring.
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you that there is nothing? Yes, that
<v Speaker 2>makes me feel warm and fuzzies. Then when they do
<v Speaker 2>the split screen and they show the Halloween style graphics
<v Speaker 2>with a dark tree, you know dark you know, black
<v Speaker 2>trees with like the bare branches and stuff.

<v Speaker 2>live in the reader Connecticut area.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it doesn't sound like you're for Connecticut when you're
<v Speaker 1>screaming at Ashley Massorrow backstage, going.
<v Speaker 2>You gonna cry, you gone cry?
<v Speaker 1>I heard it, I hear when it really comes out
<v Speaker 1>the accent, right.
<v Speaker 2>Huh, I've never I've never accentuated anything in my life.
<v Speaker 1>Arrest my case, you runner, no further questions. Austin comes
<v Speaker 1>off the ropes and Triple H burries and knee into
<v Speaker 1>his gut. Triple Ah thro those piston right hands into
<v Speaker 1>the corner, goes Austin.
<v Speaker 2>Punch. The last thing the Triple A is gonna do
<v Speaker 2>on this show was Burry Steve Steve Austin. That's right.
<v Speaker 1>Austin fires out of the corner and goes out like
<v Speaker 1>goes to the gut like crazy. I mean, if Austin's
<v Speaker 1>gonna unload on the stomach, the punches are gonna.
<v Speaker 2>Come fast and furious.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, they are whipped to the corner and you can
<v Speaker 1>hear Triple H say, I poke on the direction.
<v Speaker 2>God, I miss that. That's funny something like that.
<v Speaker 1>He says something and then he backdrops Austin off of
<v Speaker 1>hitting the corner. Yeah, basically, Austin takes a bump that
<v Speaker 1>he's bringing that stunning Steve Austin sell of the backdrop
<v Speaker 1>that we saw flashed the champions to the WWF.
<v Speaker 2>It's so before he heard his Now that's the thing,
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can't That's something to appreciate as well,
<v Speaker 2>is just how well he sells the he sells because
<v Speaker 2>he's got that that that he's still got that summing
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin, Uh, you know, ability.
<v Speaker 1>Like a human super Bowl bounce Hilla in there. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>come on, man, we were lucky to bear witness to it.
<v Speaker 2>I know.
<v Speaker 1>Vince says the hit Man is watching this broadcast somewhere,
<v Speaker 1>and JR. Says he knows right where he is tonight,
<v Speaker 1>not that far from here Fort Wayne. Tomorrow night for
<v Speaker 1>the Hitman. Brett Hart, Triple HiT's a great sup Plex says,
<v Speaker 1>don't move before he launches him, which means here comes
<v Speaker 1>the knee drop and Steve, don't move and Triple h
<v Speaker 1>gets too. What a great worker he is. You can
<v Speaker 1>hear him scream every fucking spotty call.
<v Speaker 2>I know it's amazing. I wonder if I ever fucking
<v Speaker 2>owned the business, JR.
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if he would ever chew anybody out for
<v Speaker 1>calling spots too loudly on television? JR asks, Uh, respectfully,
<v Speaker 1>will someone come out here and fix my mic? He's
<v Speaker 1>still pleading triple HiT's a high delayed back supplex for two.
<v Speaker 2>Jr.
<v Speaker 1>Says there's not even a spare here, and Vince says
<v Speaker 1>we're working on it. Murphy's law, Jim, Vince's law, Dawn,
<v Speaker 1>Yeah exactly.
<v Speaker 2>Lawler says that.
<v Speaker 1>Jr. Says it's McMahon's log exactly. Vince says, nothing's wrong,
<v Speaker 1>Nothing was wrong with you, Mike this morning on WWF Superstars,
<v Speaker 1>and Jerr says, did you learn anything about holds and
<v Speaker 1>how to call a match by watching the show? Really good,
<v Speaker 1>very professional, Jr says. Jerr says, there's nothing like being
<v Speaker 1>in the major leagues. Hunt guys, Oh, I love this guy.
<v Speaker 1>He's a treasure. Vince says, well, I think we are
<v Speaker 1>watching the major league and Jerr says, h yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>can with a string tied to each end. Oh, it's
<v Speaker 1>his head set back in the ring, push off and
<v Speaker 1>a tackle in Austin on the Hop goes into a
<v Speaker 1>sleeper hold, turns and pushes off and grabs a sleeper
<v Speaker 1>of his own, to a nice pop. Triple H ducks underneath,
<v Speaker 1>push off and a sleeper again applied by Triple Hs,
<v Speaker 1>and this time Austin sits down with a jawbreaker, crushing
<v Speaker 1>Triple H's jaw and then flair. He does the flare
<v Speaker 1>flop rather on the cell. Austin turns him over, gets
<v Speaker 1>a cover for two back up. Irish Whip Jerr says,
<v Speaker 1>Austin's looking for that stone cold and Vince Ban interjects, stunner.
<v Speaker 1>Is it so they've gotten the stunner? Over does some degree.
<v Speaker 1>This is before he kicks people in the stomach first.
<v Speaker 2>Though, right, yeah, this is the He just kind of
<v Speaker 2>like waits for it and then grabs your neck right.
<v Speaker 1>And maneuvers you into position. Austin hotshots Triple H on
<v Speaker 1>the top.
<v Speaker 2>Rope Jr.
<v Speaker 1>Says he calls that the stun gun, which of course
<v Speaker 1>is what he called it. W W as well, jers
<v Speaker 1>as Wow. Austin in midder rope double a bird elbow
<v Speaker 1>that gets too. Austin hooks the leg because the first
<v Speaker 1>time he covered he didn't hook the leg, So he
<v Speaker 1>hooks the leg and then gets two. Because he's minding
<v Speaker 1>his p's and q's out there. And if you think
<v Speaker 1>that's a small detail, you're fucking wrong. If you think
<v Speaker 1>that's not part of the reason the fans think I
<v Speaker 1>can care about.
<v Speaker 2>This guy, you're wrong. It's huge.
<v Speaker 1>Back up whip reversed high knee by Triple H drops
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin. Triple H goes up to the middle rope
<v Speaker 1>and does a fist drop cover gets too and men
<v Speaker 1>does he snap that arm down? Stone hold Steve Austin
<v Speaker 1>on the cover. He pushes that shoulder down.
<v Speaker 2>Baby. Yeah, it's like, you know, you do make a
<v Speaker 2>good point like that, you Matt, You know the the
<v Speaker 2>the details of that are so important, and it's it's
<v Speaker 2>it's it is the fact that he he goes for
<v Speaker 2>a pin, doesn't hook the leg. The next time he
<v Speaker 2>goes for a pin, he hooks the leg like that
<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff is so it's so small, but it's
<v Speaker 2>so crucial because it's just showing constant evolution to win.
<v Speaker 2>It's not out there to look good. He's to win.
<v Speaker 2>It comes down to winning. You know. It's like, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>that didn't work last time. I gotta fucking do this
<v Speaker 2>so I can fucking win.
<v Speaker 1>And even his credit Austin's on his stomach, Triple h
<v Speaker 1>whips him over onto his back, and he snaps that
<v Speaker 1>arm of the canvas full cover of chest across the shoulders.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, folks, you want to get out
<v Speaker 1>of there right like it's it's it's you don't get
<v Speaker 1>paid by the hour. It's not about how fancy the
<v Speaker 1>moves are. It's about creating, creating the the the sense
<v Speaker 1>of of uh, really, the feeling in the fans that
<v Speaker 1>you're that someone is trying, that you're both trying to win,
<v Speaker 1>and that and all the moves available to do at
<v Speaker 1>this moment, the one you just used is the one
<v Speaker 1>that you felt was most likely to get you the
<v Speaker 1>win or to get you on path to a win.
<v Speaker 2>And so you don't need to have everybody doing the flipping, flopping,
<v Speaker 2>flying ship. You don't when they're when when you created
<v Speaker 2>the tension of women.
<v Speaker 1>It's true, it's true, it's it's it's it's a fascinating
<v Speaker 1>time to watch wrestling for that reason, because you know,
<v Speaker 1>it's like you can work the flying in to trying
<v Speaker 1>to win. Yes, but that's not what people see on Twitter.
<v Speaker 1>They see just a flip, you know, they don't see
<v Speaker 1>that it fit into a portion of the contest where
<v Speaker 1>this guy is that efforting to get covers. All these
<v Speaker 1>guys do these things, but who's going to make a
<v Speaker 1>gift of a guy going for a nice sharp cover,
<v Speaker 1>you know, right, And it's that simple. People are just
<v Speaker 1>like they're they're completely brain dead and they just watch clips.
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's that's our problem across culture, not just
<v Speaker 1>in wrestling.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it's it's you're absolutely right, is.
<v Speaker 1>So he s all these guys the people say can't
<v Speaker 1>do this stuff, they do it. People just don't watch it,
<v Speaker 1>or they just they pretend not to see it, and
<v Speaker 1>they just pretend to notice the moment where yeah, maybe
<v Speaker 1>he didn't maybe he should have sold that more. Maybe
<v Speaker 1>it kind of takes you out of it that he
<v Speaker 1>used a limb that was supposed to be damaged, you know,
<v Speaker 1>to do a move. Sure, you criticize that all day.
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine with it, but it's it's kind of like,
<v Speaker 1>but then to ignore the fact that everything you want
<v Speaker 1>a wrestler to do they also did in the matches
<v Speaker 1>kind of bullr right ttla the middle fistrop cover gets
<v Speaker 1>two Yes, okay, Lawler says, how about that Ross ever,
<v Speaker 1>get ever get.
<v Speaker 2>On your nerves.
<v Speaker 1>How Vince go's one two, no.
<v Speaker 2>Lallery even get his jolly's in here. I'll take your
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of it.
<v Speaker 1>Jared just goes, it's repetitive, it's uncreative, he says about
<v Speaker 1>Vince's signature line, double clothesline. Both down Now. Crowd begins
<v Speaker 1>to rise suddenly because mister Perfect is out in a
<v Speaker 1>blue suit doing the walk, turning around like he used to.
<v Speaker 2>I guess he rated Vince's wardrobe.
<v Speaker 1>I guess he did. Yeah, it's a bright blue suit.
<v Speaker 1>Calls him his pal from Sunday Morning Superstars. Perfect was
<v Speaker 1>working for the company as a color commentator at the time.
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Perfect goes over to the woman that Triple
<v Speaker 1>H walked to the ring, puts his hand on her.
<v Speaker 1>Triple H comes out Steve Steve Buston turns him in,
<v Speaker 1>hits a big right hand and spit flies. He drops
<v Speaker 1>Triple H on the outside. Austin rolls Triple H back
<v Speaker 1>in the ring and screams get the fuck out of
<v Speaker 1>here to mister Perfect. And you can hear it too, Ah,
<v Speaker 1>Perfect says, don't you ever get in my face, grabs
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin with the tights. He says, you want to
<v Speaker 1>mess with me, you son of a bitch. It's it's
<v Speaker 1>really intense between these two. Austin will beg someone love.
<v Speaker 2>I would have loved to see the fucking program between
<v Speaker 2>the two of them.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, But this is like, this is why Austin still
<v Speaker 1>isn't stone Hold yet he begs off by this.
<v Speaker 2>Moment, Yeah, yes, exactly, he kind of you know, he
<v Speaker 2>cowers away a little bit, and still he's still a heel.
<v Speaker 2>He's still someone Brett can work with. Is a heel.
<v Speaker 1>You know, He's still gonna kind of bitch out at
<v Speaker 1>those key moments. He's gonna show great heart, but he's
<v Speaker 1>not above me.
<v Speaker 2>It's the same Steve Austin who in the Royal Rumble
<v Speaker 2>gets horrified when when Vincent when the bread actually comes out, Yes.
<v Speaker 1>Exactly as opposed to like, oh here we go, you
<v Speaker 1>son of a bitch, which he would be out next year, right,
<v Speaker 1>But then he grabs a cup of water and splashes
<v Speaker 1>it in mister Perfect's face after pretending to beg off,
<v Speaker 1>and then Perfect takes off the coat ready to fight
<v Speaker 1>Triple H blindsides Austin in the ring, which is kind
<v Speaker 1>of like you know, you can go and watch that
<v Speaker 1>in retrospect and say perfect and triple h you're working
<v Speaker 1>into hoots when you realize they align themselves with each other.
<v Speaker 2>The next night.
<v Speaker 1>I'm ross true true here in the moment, it's not
<v Speaker 1>made abundantly clear.
<v Speaker 2>It's because the last time we saw a heel versus
<v Speaker 2>heel match, like between Summer Sam ninety two and this, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of another one, at least on pay
<v Speaker 2>per view. Yeah, heel versus heel. That's a great question
<v Speaker 2>because it's risky. It's a very risky thing.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you would think if they did it, it would you
<v Speaker 1>have perfect was a baby face when you wrestle Shawn
<v Speaker 1>Michaels and SummerSlam? Yeah, was perfect baby face when he
<v Speaker 1>wrestled Lex Luger or did he turn after the bench?
<v Speaker 2>He was babyface all through, Yeah, from ninety two through
<v Speaker 2>ninety three. He was all babyface man until he left. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>they were teasing a heel turn towards his departure at
<v Speaker 2>the in the fall of ninety three, but he was
<v Speaker 2>a baby face all the way through.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe now that that was after I was thinking the
<v Speaker 1>Davy Boy versus Owen European Title tournament final. That's still
<v Speaker 1>to come. Yep, that's not a paper.
<v Speaker 2>Was gone there on red? Yeah that's true. Yeah, yeah, but.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a good question for the solar system. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It doesn't coming to mind. So Triple H
<v Speaker 1>puts the boots to him. After that, mister Perfect interference,
<v Speaker 1>Perfect walking off with the woman Triple H came out
<v Speaker 1>with back in Triple H Show with a whip double
<v Speaker 1>over pedigree. He doubles a rost and goes for the pedigree,
<v Speaker 1>but he gets hooked and then he drops him Before
<v Speaker 1>he can do the pedigree. He spots mister Perfect walking
<v Speaker 1>away with this woman and abandons the pedigree. It's what
<v Speaker 1>he does, and it goes up the aisle after them.
<v Speaker 1>And then as they face off, Perfect and Hunter, Austin
<v Speaker 1>catches up from behind and drop Triple H. Patterson and
<v Speaker 1>others are out in their suits and ties trying to
<v Speaker 1>get mister Brock out of the ringside area, and in
<v Speaker 1>the isle, Austin lifts Triple AHS for a sup lex. No, no, now,
<v Speaker 1>this pay per view. There's a carpet on that floor.
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin's getting suplexed onto it.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's all very simple, Yes.
<v Speaker 1>And you better believe he goes for the ride. There's
<v Speaker 1>a carpet that needs bumping, very dark, just a spotlight
<v Speaker 1>in the aisleway, no lighting around them other than that
<v Speaker 1>at all.
<v Speaker 2>No, it wasn't the style. Wasn't the style, you know,
<v Speaker 2>it was just the typical white lighting, you know, whatever
<v Speaker 2>would just show brightly on television.
<v Speaker 1>The double feature shows the full sprint Steve austin clothes
<v Speaker 1>line in the aisleway that he just sort of popped
<v Speaker 1>into screen in the live take and took out Triple H.
<v Speaker 1>But you got to see it here. Triple H back
<v Speaker 1>back in, sets up a pedigree, Austin picks the ankle,
<v Speaker 1>drags him over and sends him flying into the post.
<v Speaker 1>Triple H out on the blue mats at ringside gold
<v Speaker 1>real by the way, as well, which I was a
<v Speaker 1>big fan. He rolls Triple H back in the ring. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they're kind of spray painted light gold.
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't notice that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I kind of felt like they were in like
<v Speaker 1>the mid nineties. He rolls him back in. Steve Austin
<v Speaker 1>is in Tim White's face and then he he hits
<v Speaker 1>the ropes misses the sit out with Triple H's throw
<v Speaker 1>it in the middle rope and then he flips the
<v Speaker 1>bird though, because Austin was able to turn himself to
<v Speaker 1>bounce right off that middle rope instead of crotch himself,
<v Speaker 1>and he's feeling good about that save. And what does
<v Speaker 1>he do after that? He flips off Triple H because
<v Speaker 1>she ain't gonna get away with that stunner big pop
<v Speaker 1>one two three. I mean, that's how you fucking think.
<v Speaker 1>Does he grab him and fucking beat him?
<v Speaker 2>Yep? Does he? Does he bring the bullshit to an end?
<v Speaker 2>It's defined? Okay, it is a defined, definitive yep. Fifteen
<v Speaker 2>thirty stone cold Steve Austin, if he's ton of hers
<v Speaker 2>sounds ling the opening contest of Buried a Lot in
<v Speaker 2>Your House by Alive, And it's not a fucking joke.
<v Speaker 2>It's not a fucking joke. Business is starting to pick
<v Speaker 2>up here now. This is one of the most important
<v Speaker 2>that's correct, detailed matches that gets no love, honestly gets
<v Speaker 2>no real uh uh reverence in terms of.
<v Speaker 1>Only a very examination of Steve Austin's rise would include this.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's all here. I'm here to tell you
<v Speaker 1>all the materials here that he would later.
<v Speaker 2>Thing exactly like it's it's you know, yes, there's some
<v Speaker 2>things that need to be finessed, there's some things that
<v Speaker 2>need to be you know, dial a little more dial, brother,
<v Speaker 2>But the essence is here. The essence is here, and
<v Speaker 2>and the thing is about it is that this is
<v Speaker 2>what makes it so fascinating is that not only it's
<v Speaker 2>exciting now watching it. Yes, that's what's so like revolutionary
<v Speaker 2>about it, is that it's still exciting to watch him
<v Speaker 2>do this. It's it's it's amazing to see really what
<v Speaker 2>I think you took for granted in a way when
<v Speaker 2>it was happening, like, yes, you know he was doing something,
<v Speaker 2>it was different. But when you really see how everything
<v Speaker 2>was was was already in place, you know, months months before,
<v Speaker 2>it would be obvious.
<v Speaker 1>Well here's a guy. Yeah he's doing something different. But
<v Speaker 1>what you don't realize is what he's doing differently is
<v Speaker 1>going to come to define the whole company. Yep, what
<v Speaker 1>he's doing is telling you what the whole company is
<v Speaker 1>going to look and feel like in two years, not
<v Speaker 1>what he's going to look and feel like in two years.
<v Speaker 1>It's such a phenomenon that it subsumes the entire identity
<v Speaker 1>of WWF and how they go to market. Basically, yep,
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ and Vince says on commentary not necessarily fan
<v Speaker 1>favorites these two, but both given they're all here tonight
<v Speaker 1>in Austin walking and talking his shit on at the
<v Speaker 1>Aisle Man fucking money replay show the Double Bird, and
<v Speaker 1>Vince's didn't need to say that, but boom stunner one,
<v Speaker 1>two three, j are still complaining the Bird has been
<v Speaker 1>fine for a while. Triple H with spit drool coming
<v Speaker 1>out of his mouth on the cell in the ring.
<v Speaker 1>Remember this is after the curtain call too, so he's.
<v Speaker 2>Still in the penalty box. That's right.
<v Speaker 1>I talk about another fucking happenstance, but without the fucking
<v Speaker 1>hurt and call. Triple H wins King of the Ring
<v Speaker 1>ninety six and none of this happens. That's hard pressing
<v Speaker 1>as that, and he and he, he fucking had a
<v Speaker 1>one track mind to get back there until ninety nine
<v Speaker 1>when he finally gets that strap Pett and Gill backstage.
<v Speaker 2>Never did win the uh never did win the uh
<v Speaker 2>the the King of the Ring. Oh that's right, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he got it back. I forgot.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was like the official lake. He's out of
<v Speaker 1>the penalty box now.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so uh he's backstage with the smoking Guns Pett
<v Speaker 2>and Gill and Billy gun kisses.
<v Speaker 1>Well, they show a package with Billy gun kissing Sonny
<v Speaker 1>and May. He's smitten with them, the guns with the
<v Speaker 1>champions at the time, and Sonny of course was going
<v Speaker 1>with whatever.
<v Speaker 2>Had the belts. It's Doc, it's not Todd, I wrote
<v Speaker 2>Pett and Gill. I don't know why. Maybe pettent Gill's
<v Speaker 2>voicing it over. I don't know, maybe voice over the recap,
<v Speaker 2>might voice over the recap. Yeah, that's probably what I meant.
<v Speaker 1>My back at mind Game, Sonny was on Billy's arm
<v Speaker 1>and she was coming between Billy and Bart and they
<v Speaker 1>show Billy being distracted by Sonny and the Bulldog and Owen
<v Speaker 1>using that distraction to win the tag titles, and Sonny
<v Speaker 1>then just fires them. Anyway tonight the guns want the
<v Speaker 1>title back. Bart oh for the gold, Billy for the girl.
<v Speaker 1>That's definitely Todd, Patton Gill. Oh, yeah, there's definitely words
<v Speaker 1>they would put in ton Pett and Gill's mouth. And now, yes,
<v Speaker 1>you're right, Doc Hendricks, is Billy gunn last month, Sunny
<v Speaker 1>cost you due to your preoccupation with her, and can
<v Speaker 1>you get her focused tonight? Billy says, you know she's
<v Speaker 1>how do you know she's not around? As soon as
<v Speaker 1>I nihilate Bulldog and I want to win the tag belts,
<v Speaker 1>I know Sonny's gonna be right back by our side,
<v Speaker 1>rubbing hands, rubbing his hands together, excited to the prospect.
<v Speaker 1>And Bart's now, it's a sport to win titles. Well, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's just that's just help. Meanwhile, as we've documented in
<v Speaker 1>recent episodes, Sonny is absolutely bent over any sink in
<v Speaker 1>any locker room across the country, with Shawn Michaels taking
<v Speaker 1>her from every conceivable I mean just the fucking most
<v Speaker 1>like athletic sex you've ever seen. Yep, oh for sure,
<v Speaker 1>I mean full like she can't believe like the places
<v Speaker 1>that he's taking.
<v Speaker 2>Her, just just just like constant, powerful, hard, brutal.
<v Speaker 1>And you know she has to say things like Chris
<v Speaker 1>never does me like.
<v Speaker 2>This and all that. Yep, yep, he demands that.
<v Speaker 1>What's that?
<v Speaker 2>Seawn demands that, thank you?
<v Speaker 1>So Bart says, now it's just us, We're gonna win
<v Speaker 1>the tag titles. Forget her and Billy has confidence Sonny's
<v Speaker 1>gonna be right back by our side. So he's still,
<v Speaker 1>you know, obsessed with her. This is going nowhere, by
<v Speaker 1>the way, because I don't know if you've noticed, but
<v Speaker 1>Billy has never had on stream screen chemistry with a
<v Speaker 1>single woman in his fucking life.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, uh.
<v Speaker 1>He has great chemistry with the Acclaimed and and their uh,
<v Speaker 1>their homosexual act, which is great for him, but it's fascinating.
<v Speaker 2>He's always played kind of like a kind of a
<v Speaker 2>effeminine kind of guy.
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of weird when he gets obsessed with China.
<v Speaker 1>Remember that that angle. Yeah, yeah, and there's another one too.
<v Speaker 1>He was just incredibly unnatural with I feel like they.
<v Speaker 2>Put him with and then he was also a billion chuck.
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's true too. Yeah, Jesus, no wonder I feel
<v Speaker 1>that way because you fucking do the gay marriage angle.
<v Speaker 1>I'll explain it, Jack, But no, no, I'm thinking of
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Yosi to Dbiosti Junior with like Maurice. It's like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>this is not gonna work. This guy cannot hold the
<v Speaker 1>hand of another woman on national television and get you to.
<v Speaker 2>Also, he can't handle that, right, He can't handle a
<v Speaker 2>woman like that. I'm sorry. Bart is a fucking fraud
<v Speaker 2>art literally a.
<v Speaker 1>Fraudy Absolutely, Bart, just forget about Sonny. We get a
<v Speaker 1>match awful acting Billy with a totally different pitch to
<v Speaker 1>his voice. Back then, by the way, would rather jarring, you.
<v Speaker 2>Know again, would so fun. This is this is the
<v Speaker 2>bizarreness of this whole thing. And I know I've said
<v Speaker 2>it before, but it's it's important because it's it happens
<v Speaker 2>right after the show. Actually, so the Smoking Guns break
<v Speaker 2>up after this, yes, and they have a match on
<v Speaker 2>raw where they fight each other and their wives come down,
<v Speaker 2>so bizarre. So it's like, you've got this they've been
<v Speaker 2>playing at this angle and they they their wives come
<v Speaker 2>down and they talk about the fact they're not actually brothers,
<v Speaker 2>so stupid, which it's just like.
<v Speaker 1>It's so after what Billy was obsessed with Sonny for months,
<v Speaker 1>He's got a wife at home the whole time. That's
<v Speaker 1>not an issue.
<v Speaker 2>Weird, it's so weird. Yeah, yeah, that was just done.
<v Speaker 2>That was domare And the fact that they don't and
<v Speaker 2>the fact they don't actually bring up the fact that
<v Speaker 2>maybe they do. I don't know. I've been watching it
<v Speaker 2>a long time but I don't remember them really bringing
<v Speaker 2>up the fact that he was you know, like, what
<v Speaker 2>the what did the wife say about this? Why is
<v Speaker 2>she coming down and supporting him and trying to help
<v Speaker 2>when when when he's been going after some the whole.
<v Speaker 1>Were the most failed like tag team championship level breakup
<v Speaker 1>ever in WWF. You talk about going nowhere, he was
<v Speaker 1>Rockabilly within months. Yep, God help us.
<v Speaker 2>Jr.
<v Speaker 1>Starts going off on sunny. He thinks she's the most
<v Speaker 1>overrated manager in the history of the WWF, but his
<v Speaker 1>Mike keeps cutting out. There's a star in the canvas alone,
<v Speaker 1>star for Billy because he's from Texas, of course, and says,
<v Speaker 1>we thought you would join us for the free for all.
<v Speaker 2>Jr.
<v Speaker 1>Says, well, I'm not big on the preliminary stuff, so
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't around.
<v Speaker 2>Earlier.
<v Speaker 1>Bulldog and Owen come out to the ring with Clarence
<v Speaker 1>Mason as their manager. They were the tag champs at
<v Speaker 1>the time. Kind of a post Camp Cornette situation here
<v Speaker 1>where Mason's still with them at Cornett isn't really around.
<v Speaker 2>It's weird.
<v Speaker 1>Pritchard de Crowd in his podcast that there are forces
<v Speaker 1>in WWF that just insisted that Bulldog and Owen had
<v Speaker 1>to be a tag team at this particular point in WWF,
<v Speaker 1>and he never understood that. He always thought that they
<v Speaker 1>should have been a singles contributors in and of themselves.
<v Speaker 1>I liked the team, but it was kind of weird.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here's here's another heel of this heel match.
<v Speaker 2>Really, yeah, they were thrown together. They were thrown together
<v Speaker 2>as a team. I think, you know, you know critically
<v Speaker 2>if I'm wrong, but I think just to be able
<v Speaker 2>to defeat. Yeah, it was the Gun to get them
<v Speaker 2>off the Guns. And they had no teams back then.
<v Speaker 2>I mean none, They're very very limited. I mean, you know,
<v Speaker 2>they they there were more teams than had been in
<v Speaker 2>recent years, but there was so little. I mean, you
<v Speaker 2>have the the Godwins, the Guns, Body Donna's New Rockers,
<v Speaker 2>and the Body Donnas. That's that was kind of it. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and then Razor and Diesel. Of course, it felt like.
<v Speaker 1>It just fell and it felt like the Godwins and
<v Speaker 1>the Guns just feuded forever because there was nobody else,
<v Speaker 1>and the head Bangers got slotted in. But it's all nonsense.
<v Speaker 2>Were they there? I thought they came later the next
<v Speaker 2>year they came later.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's my point. Like, when I think about kind
<v Speaker 1>of like that era of tag teams, I include them
<v Speaker 1>on the tail end, but even then because I just
<v Speaker 1>remember them coming on the scene like Okay, now we're
<v Speaker 1>gonna get some teams. So it's like, no, it's just
<v Speaker 1>that bangers, and you're gonna have to want to want
<v Speaker 1>them win to win the championships, which I.
<v Speaker 2>Never really did. That's yeah, no one wants that.
<v Speaker 1>Actually, Slamy Award winning Owen Heart. We can't forget that.
<v Speaker 1>Clarence were told it out smarted Cornette and maneuvered into
<v Speaker 1>the manager of himself and the manager of these tag
<v Speaker 1>team champions.
<v Speaker 2>I don't recall that. I don't know what that was about.
<v Speaker 1>Actually now, it was around the time where he got
<v Speaker 1>crushed to come in and then he kind of went
<v Speaker 1>rogue and became his own manager. I don't know why
<v Speaker 1>they dumped Cornette, but Court I was pretty much off
<v Speaker 1>television by this point. I will say that the old
<v Speaker 1>WWF tag belts that matter looked great on these two. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>they listening on their waists. Lawler says something fishy going
<v Speaker 1>on with the headset. They cut to Jim, who looks
<v Speaker 1>at the camera like see with a pencil in his hand.
<v Speaker 1>He's just not having a good day. Bulldog and Owen
<v Speaker 1>versus the guns for the tag straps here at buried alive.
<v Speaker 1>Jared says he'll be having dinner later on with Brett
<v Speaker 1>Hart and didn't say it would be an indie hell,
<v Speaker 1>but he says he will be in Fort Wayne tomorrow
<v Speaker 1>night Live. And I'm thinking, well, yeah, Jr. Will be
<v Speaker 1>having dinner. All right.
<v Speaker 2>You didn't have to tell you that. Yep, yep, I
<v Speaker 2>knew that was going to happen. He's already uh, he's
<v Speaker 2>already uh uh you know, steaked out some barbecue plays.
<v Speaker 1>Steaked him ount. Indeed, on the pod he did with
<v Speaker 1>Conrad about this show, he was like trying his hardest
<v Speaker 1>to remember the uh the steakhouse in Indianapolis, and they
<v Speaker 1>have the best shrimp cocktails Conrad cocktails. Yeah, shrimp cocktail. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>he says, it's it's the best with that horse Radish.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's Elmo Steakhouse or something like that. Wow,
<v Speaker 1>all right, so Elmos Jared's great, he says, you know
<v Speaker 1>what I was saying, Elmos, brother, my fat ass. On
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday Night, the nineteenth of November. If you want to
<v Speaker 1>see Jr. Not that you do, come on by the
<v Speaker 1>bar st Elmos and my fat ash will be sitting
<v Speaker 1>there with a hat on, eating shrimp cocktail and having
<v Speaker 1>a mule going by and seeing. Oh my god, it's
<v Speaker 1>so funny. He's a he's gonna be there. He's gonna
<v Speaker 1>be there. It's that simple. If he's in Indianapolis, he's.
<v Speaker 2>Gonna be there. He's gonna be there. It's eating that's right.
<v Speaker 1>Billy and Owen uh get the match started, headlocked by
<v Speaker 1>Billy and a head scissor, and Owen goes, woo.
<v Speaker 2>I can take I can take his woo any day
<v Speaker 2>of the week, and twice on Sunday. Okay, absolutely, here's
<v Speaker 2>a lawler. Lawler uh taking talking about Clarence Mason a
<v Speaker 2>little bit.
<v Speaker 7>Don't under have to make Clarence Mason this This guy
<v Speaker 7>is so smart he didn't even finish law school.
<v Speaker 5>Luck he settled out of class.
<v Speaker 2>Jesus Christ, Oh, it's funny. That is funny. Settled out
<v Speaker 2>of class. Oh idiot? Uh lawler?
<v Speaker 1>Oh ship all right, back up Billy with the hip
<v Speaker 1>toss and he woos himself back at Owen hart believe
<v Speaker 1>with the headlock. He pulls on by the hair to
<v Speaker 1>maintain it take over. Jaar points out that when had
<v Speaker 1>gotten a haircut recently, so we don't have the shoulder
<v Speaker 1>length Owen. This is the the short haired Owen.
<v Speaker 2>Now that's yes.
<v Speaker 1>In our lives we have to deal with and contend with.
<v Speaker 1>Back up two shoulder blocks in the hip no two
<v Speaker 1>blocked attempts on a hip toss, and then Owen does
<v Speaker 1>that back back flip thing. I'd love to know the
<v Speaker 1>name of that where he puts, you know, one leg
<v Speaker 1>in the back of your neck and back flips. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 1>they call it does Yeah, Like is he he does
<v Speaker 1>the arm thing? Like yeah, it doubles you over on
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, and it's like then all of a sudden,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why he's doing like, I don't know,
<v Speaker 1>And what does it end up with?
<v Speaker 2>I don't know?
<v Speaker 1>So does he backflips Billy knocks him down the clothesline,
<v Speaker 1>but it.
<v Speaker 2>Ends up with something when he does it for real?
<v Speaker 2>Is it an arm drag or something?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's always he's already in kind of like an
<v Speaker 1>arm drag position. Yeah, you block the hip toss. He
<v Speaker 1>needs you in the gut you go over. He puts
<v Speaker 1>his leg behind your head and back flips, and then
<v Speaker 1>usually he'll duck underneath and hit the ropes or something
<v Speaker 1>from there. But here Billy catches him in the clothes
<v Speaker 1>line and drops him before he can do that sounds
<v Speaker 1>like a It's almost sounds like Beware of Dog.
<v Speaker 2>When JR.
<v Speaker 1>Is talking now, they put a filter on his voice
<v Speaker 1>and it sounds like they lost power. Oh wow to
<v Speaker 1>his headset building up to the sledge, but owen and
<v Speaker 1>puts a stop to that and knocks down Billy with
<v Speaker 1>a double clothes They both go down rather with a
<v Speaker 1>double clothes line and Iris whipping a dropped to hold
<v Speaker 1>and Davey drops a leg on Billy Guns he enters
<v Speaker 1>the fray. They do a quick wishbone snapping Billy Gun's
<v Speaker 1>legs in two different directions.
<v Speaker 2>JR.
<v Speaker 1>Says something sounds like Will Rogers was never It's like
<v Speaker 1>he's no Sonny is like Will Rogers. She never met
<v Speaker 1>a man she didn't like, And Vince says, well, well,
<v Speaker 1>Will Rogers is no longer with us. Roy Roy Rogers
<v Speaker 1>is still around, though, so they want to make fun
<v Speaker 1>of j R. For the Will Rogers reference.
<v Speaker 2>My god, I can't even handle Billy comes in like
<v Speaker 2>what a fucking Roy Rogers will around though, however, oh great.
<v Speaker 1>Or a student of you to make that comment.
<v Speaker 2>I want to say that, you know, we got sure,
<v Speaker 2>we don't have Will Rogers, but we do have Roy
<v Speaker 2>Rogers's such a weird guy.
<v Speaker 1>He's like he thinks that's funny, Like that's his sense
<v Speaker 1>of humor.
<v Speaker 2>Right, and then it's like a witty It's either it's
<v Speaker 2>either that or you know, someone eating taking a big ship. Right,
<v Speaker 2>It's like, there's no he's got to be.
<v Speaker 1>One of the weirdest people to ever live.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he can't not be. You know, he can't
<v Speaker 2>not be. He's gonna he's I mean, just think about
<v Speaker 2>the normal things that people do. Think about the normal, average,
<v Speaker 2>everyday things that you did this today, like getting up,
<v Speaker 2>getting a cup of coffee. Like, just imagine vinsic man
<v Speaker 2>waking up in bed. I can't what does he what
<v Speaker 2>does he do? What's he wearing? You know, how does
<v Speaker 2>he take the how does he take the covers off?
<v Speaker 8>Oh?
<v Speaker 2>You know, does he wake? Is he sleeping on his back,
<v Speaker 2>on his side, on his stomach? Is he is he
<v Speaker 2>all kind of like bundled up together in a in
<v Speaker 2>or is he like a sprite, you know, spread out
<v Speaker 2>all over the great questions like these are like this
<v Speaker 2>is this is What makes him even weirder is that
<v Speaker 2>there's no way that he could have done normal things.
<v Speaker 1>That your mind doesn't pick sure, like a natural state
<v Speaker 1>that he'd be.
<v Speaker 2>In, Like does he yawn?
<v Speaker 4>Oh?
<v Speaker 1>That's for bitches?
<v Speaker 2>Does he yawn? Like when he gets up?
<v Speaker 1>Can't control themselves?
<v Speaker 2>You know?
<v Speaker 1>Like is he how long does he look at himself
<v Speaker 1>in the mirror when he first wakes up?
<v Speaker 2>Right?
<v Speaker 7>Right?
<v Speaker 2>Does he lean over the does he lean over the
<v Speaker 2>sink and like then stare at like head down and
<v Speaker 2>looks up and stare and looks at his face for
<v Speaker 2>a moment, like does he you know? They're they're really
<v Speaker 2>like I feel like when he goes to sleep, what
<v Speaker 2>must happen? The only way vincetick man can actually sleep
<v Speaker 2>is if he goes into like some kind of like
<v Speaker 2>cryo freeze thing, you know, like some machine that kind
<v Speaker 2>of locks it in. Like he can't go into a bed,
<v Speaker 2>he has to go into a container, you know, and
<v Speaker 2>containers you know, and then and then when his alarm
<v Speaker 2>goes off, like the container opens and it's like time
<v Speaker 2>to get ready. It makes a noise like exactly.
<v Speaker 1>Normal. Yeah, yeah, this guy is trying to kirogenically freeze
<v Speaker 1>himself before he dies, right right, Some bad advice there, Billy,
<v Speaker 1>But some thought that he would know about bad advice.
<v Speaker 1>Billy in the corner lane and kicks on Davy Boy
<v Speaker 1>reversed whip and missed elbow and cuts him down with
<v Speaker 1>a lariat does does Davy Boy? Pretty sure?
<v Speaker 2>That's a Brett Brett.
<v Speaker 1>Chant for a moment here, as Sonny is shown watching
<v Speaker 1>backstage with those bright blue and orange set color schemes
<v Speaker 1>behind her, that nineteen ninety six eight key would aol set?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, God, do you think you think Sean's like, yes,
<v Speaker 2>nearby and yes got his cock out?
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I think she wrote his face all the time.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh absolutely.
<v Speaker 1>I think there came a time where she became the
<v Speaker 1>aggressor and he was into it, but she had to
<v Speaker 1>really go for it.
<v Speaker 2>But but but yeah, she would always get punished afterward.
<v Speaker 1>That's enough.
<v Speaker 2>That's enough. That was Shawn's decree.
<v Speaker 1>Just a Jersey girl, you know, looking for a good.
<v Speaker 2>Time, yeap, Shawn Michaels, just boy toy exactly right, toy boy.
<v Speaker 1>It's as simple as you know, an attraction on the
<v Speaker 1>Jersey shore, you know, on the boardwalk, just like some
<v Speaker 1>guy with his shirt off and big haired eighties Jersey
<v Speaker 1>girl is gonna go. She's going to give it up. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>it's just a question of where and when she's going to.
<v Speaker 2>But these are just these are facts, Okay, this is
<v Speaker 2>not opinion.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is in prediction, right.
<v Speaker 2>Like any any let me tell you if there was
<v Speaker 2>some if there's any place in the greater area around
<v Speaker 2>this arena that is kind of got like, uh, it's
<v Speaker 2>got some kind of overhang on it. They were fucking
<v Speaker 2>undernath that's right, all right.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why this is so hard for people
<v Speaker 1>to understand.
<v Speaker 2>But ripping into her just come up behind what was
<v Speaker 2>it like like she was he was up behind her
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, and he had like a fucking heart on
<v Speaker 2>and like in his pants and he like put it
<v Speaker 2>up against her ass or something like that.
<v Speaker 1>And that was yeah, something like that. And then she
<v Speaker 1>used to want he used to want her to apply
<v Speaker 1>lipstick in the mirror while he was pounding her.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, it's fine, normal stuff, normal stuff. I agree, I agree.
<v Speaker 2>Normal stuff.
<v Speaker 1>Ye, no kink shaming here Davy boy with the headlock
<v Speaker 1>on Bart in the center of the ring.
<v Speaker 2>Jr.
<v Speaker 1>Says, a couple of trips to the woodshed coming up,
<v Speaker 1>brother and Vince sees his opening and he goes, what's
<v Speaker 1>in the woodshed?
<v Speaker 2>Jr? Love they love making fun of his his folks,
<v Speaker 2>you know, everybody with shoulder blocks, but Bart ketches little Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>yeah that.
<v Speaker 1>I always wondering what was in that woodshed?
<v Speaker 2>Jr? In the woods shed? Pal, what's uh, what's what's
<v Speaker 2>going on? I want to tell the group.
<v Speaker 1>It's a meeting, it's not on TV. I want to
<v Speaker 1>tell the group what's in that woodshed?
<v Speaker 2>Hey?
<v Speaker 4>J R?
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I got him here, get in here. So I say,
<v Speaker 2>Bruce and yourself, you know, you know everybody.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. He says that he's been working there
<v Speaker 1>for years. These people got hired after Jim. He goes,
<v Speaker 1>you know everybody, you.
<v Speaker 2>Know, you know mister Russo, you know Patterson, you know, uh,
<v Speaker 2>Bruce here, you know everybody. So uh listen, burn Live.
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned the woodshed. We got I mean, we all
<v Speaker 2>we've all been talking about ever since. What goes on
<v Speaker 2>in the woodshed? What do you do in the woodshed?
<v Speaker 2>You play games, you play touch my winkie? What do
<v Speaker 2>you do?
<v Speaker 1>What's in there?
<v Speaker 2>Jim? What's inside the wood shed?
<v Speaker 1>Like gardening?
<v Speaker 6>To me?
<v Speaker 2>Is Daddy inside the woodshow? Is Daddy gonna spank you?
<v Speaker 1>Is Leo Lupton in the woodshed?
<v Speaker 2>What my dad used to take me into the woodshed?
<v Speaker 2>In Connecticut.
<v Speaker 1>Where Vinceener never even lived. By the way, my favorite
<v Speaker 1>detail from the Shawna Sale book was that when Vince
<v Speaker 1>moved into the Greenwich mansion, he bought like all kinds
<v Speaker 1>of antiques and old stuff to make it look like
<v Speaker 1>he lived in the house for like one hundred and
<v Speaker 1>fifty years, and that like so typical.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, god, it's what what do you expect? Like?
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't just want to He doesn't don't want the
<v Speaker 1>opulence of having made it. He wants the opulence of
<v Speaker 1>being old money.
<v Speaker 2>You know, yes, yes, these are important things.
<v Speaker 1>Davy Boys shoulder blocks, but Bart catches him with a
<v Speaker 1>big power slam. On the attempt, climbs the top rope,
<v Speaker 1>goes for a cross body block, but Bart misses and
<v Speaker 1>crashes into the canvas. Davy Boy comes back with a
<v Speaker 1>crossbody that gets to tag Now to Owen hard to
<v Speaker 1>climbs the top rope, hits a drop kick off the
<v Speaker 1>top and chair says spectacular tag, and Vince goes was
<v Speaker 1>the tag spectacular? Owen rams Barton to Davy boys foot
<v Speaker 1>double team double whip double.
<v Speaker 2>Can you can you can you explain that, j R?
<v Speaker 1>What a babustery is?
<v Speaker 2>Can you explain exactly what was so spectacularly about the
<v Speaker 2>the the the very mundane action of slapping one hand
<v Speaker 2>against the other.
<v Speaker 1>The parent out coming out with standing, you know.
<v Speaker 2>The idea being that, of course, you know, once you
<v Speaker 2>slap hands with your with your you know, partner, that
<v Speaker 2>the other one is then the legal mptity right and
<v Speaker 2>enters the ring.
<v Speaker 1>The other one is the legal entity exactly legal.
<v Speaker 2>Enters the ring and proceeds to compete. So can you
<v Speaker 2>explain to me the excitement about that, Jr?
<v Speaker 1>Well, Vinceman, you put it that way.
<v Speaker 2>Now, a fans, we can enlighten the fan base watching
<v Speaker 2>at home as we invade their house, right, which is fine,
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Hey, we're in your house.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Steve Austin should have broken into Brian Pillmann's house
<v Speaker 1>on one of these things. Yes, I mean that's what
<v Speaker 1>this was. Asking for so the double lariot drops Bart
<v Speaker 1>gun great tag team cohes none display here by the
<v Speaker 1>champions whipped to the corner. Bart hits the buckling hard
<v Speaker 1>twice as a matter of fact, and collapses on the
<v Speaker 1>second time, and then Davy Boy with the lateral press
<v Speaker 1>gets too. Sonny nodding in the red dress backstage, Jerri says,
<v Speaker 1>Sonny is wearing a nightgown, and Lawler says, just wink
<v Speaker 1>at me, Sonny, I'll do the rest. She winks, and
<v Speaker 1>lollard pops so yes, apparently she can hear him back there. Yes, oh,
<v Speaker 1>the lake drop implies. The sleep bird chair says, you
<v Speaker 1>got code words?
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me?
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, he's accusing Vince of having code words that
<v Speaker 1>he's says to the truck that means cut Jr's mic. Wow,
<v Speaker 1>he says, when you say back to live action, is
<v Speaker 1>that my queue? Is that your cue rather to my music?
<v Speaker 2>Cut off?
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and Vince says, and the ring is what's important.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I don't know what you're talking about, Jr. But
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about in ring action with the emphasis on
<v Speaker 2>the desired outcome. Yes, of the of the entertainment in
<v Speaker 2>the ring.
<v Speaker 1>Chaerr says, Uh, didn't you tell the fans turn the
<v Speaker 1>volume down or something like that? And Vince as well, Uh,
<v Speaker 1>they used to do that when Howard Cosell did ABC
<v Speaker 1>Monday Night Football. God, big long story about how Not long,
<v Speaker 1>but there's an old story about how Vince tried to
<v Speaker 1>recruit Howard Cosell to come announce for w w F
<v Speaker 1>in the mid eighties and Howard Cosell's I didn't never
<v Speaker 1>do that in my fucking life.
<v Speaker 2>Are you out of your mom right? You're absolutely right.
<v Speaker 1>And Vince thought he had a real offer too, and
<v Speaker 1>he got totally put in his place, totally reminded of
<v Speaker 1>the Carney business he's in. It's probably Howard Cosell's fault
<v Speaker 1>that all this sports entertainment shit started because Vince had
<v Speaker 1>to cope.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know that's true. That's true.
<v Speaker 1>So he gets his receipt. Here in nineteen eighty six,
<v Speaker 1>Owen rolls up Bart one two not enough. Then he
<v Speaker 1>starts arguing with Billy Gunn. Whip reversed. Billy grabs Owen
<v Speaker 1>by the hair from ringside, and Bart blindsides him. Billy
<v Speaker 1>then hotshots. Owen snaps his neck on the top rope
<v Speaker 1>behind the referees back Jack Dome, by the way, who's
<v Speaker 1>distracted by Davy Boy Smith. Clarence Thomas is threatening to
<v Speaker 1>sue Jack Done for not watching that exchange. A double
<v Speaker 1>whipon with double Russian leg sweep by the guns. Billy
<v Speaker 1>covers for a two, and Bart had knocked Billy off
<v Speaker 1>the apron when he hit the ropes earlier, so that
<v Speaker 1>kind of explained that little miss cue. Billy drops an
<v Speaker 1>elbow on Owen Hart and a hangman's news neck breaker scores.
<v Speaker 1>Sonny likes that as they show her backstage, hands on chin,
<v Speaker 1>looking up in deep contemplation and what the ramifications are
<v Speaker 1>of what she's watching. Double double team breaks out. Bart
<v Speaker 1>unloads on Owen's gut as Billy holds him open. Bart,
<v Speaker 1>with a swinging neck breaker, gets a two on O
<v Speaker 1>one Jr. Says Bart has been on so many blind
<v Speaker 1>dates he should get a free dog. Okay, like he's
<v Speaker 1>a blind man with a seeing eye dog. I see
<v Speaker 1>very good. On into the corner, Billy hits kind of
<v Speaker 1>a whisper in the wind off of Bart's back, but
<v Speaker 1>instead of like a leg lariat's just a straight up splash,
<v Speaker 1>and then Davy Boy is knocked off, the apron does crack,
<v Speaker 1>and then Bart whips. Davy Boy gets knocked off the
<v Speaker 1>apron and immediately starts fishing in the apron under the ring.
<v Speaker 2>What do we got? We got.
<v Speaker 1>Like when when Brett blades at Seasons beatings like he's
<v Speaker 1>on the floor and all of a sudden his head
<v Speaker 1>comes up and the blue mats are covered in red. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>Davy gets up, the blue mats are covered in white.
<v Speaker 1>It's such a fucking mess, Brett Whipso when sidewalk slam
<v Speaker 1>pick up, Davy Boy slips in, waits behind Bart for
<v Speaker 1>the right moment, and then he holds the waistband. As
<v Speaker 1>Billy is climbing the top, they do the sidewinder leg
<v Speaker 1>drop combination right. Yes, So when he leaps for the
<v Speaker 1>top rope leg drop, Davy Boy Smith pulls a Bart
<v Speaker 1>back so that Billy completely misses the leg drop, comes
<v Speaker 1>up short, and then Owen hits ahead of Steam off
<v Speaker 1>the rope and scores with a spinning heel kick on Billy.
<v Speaker 1>That's good for the one, the two, and the three.
<v Speaker 1>A nice crowd pop here and good, good good finish there.
<v Speaker 1>I like, I really appreciated that it was a kind
<v Speaker 1>of a it was well fought out finished, Yeah, it
<v Speaker 1>was invitage was kind of random. Yeah, play it off there,
<v Speaker 1>finish and the guns finish. That is in a nine
<v Speaker 1>minutes and seventeen seconds Owen Heart and the British Bulldog
<v Speaker 1>defeat the Smoking Guns to retain the tag titles. Here
<v Speaker 1>at in your House Buried Alive. Sonny is clapping at
<v Speaker 1>that outcome, so apparently she's happy about this. Bart and
<v Speaker 1>Billy's face at ringside, Jared notes it didn't seem like
<v Speaker 1>the guns had a great deal of continuity here, and
<v Speaker 1>Vince wonders if they'll ever get another opportunity, but champions again,
<v Speaker 1>sounds to me like they won't.
<v Speaker 2>I'll say that.
<v Speaker 1>And then they didn't.
<v Speaker 2>Sure, no, they did not.
<v Speaker 1>So to to whatever degree the the Smoking Guns WWF
<v Speaker 1>run means something to you. That's another historical marker of
<v Speaker 1>burial Alive in your House. The last time they teamed
<v Speaker 1>back to the Superstar line, right, mister Ross, Yeah, okay,
<v Speaker 1>it's a triple h O Ray Rugeoe on the Red phone,
<v Speaker 1>the big red phone.
<v Speaker 2>That's just what we need.
<v Speaker 1>The electric doughnut, as Tom Will would call it. Oh
<v Speaker 1>my god, Really, that's what we call it the phone receiver. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's fine.
<v Speaker 2>In his book. He's screaming at someone. I don't know who.
<v Speaker 1>I think they're going back and forth, Austin. I think
<v Speaker 1>it's on the other side of the line because you
<v Speaker 1>can hear his voice, but they don't show him. But
<v Speaker 1>I guess if you called seven three seven for WWF,
<v Speaker 1>that's what you would get. It's Austin and Triple A
<v Speaker 1>screaming at each other on the telephone. I take it,
<v Speaker 1>I would Austin. Vince says, there's not a thing wrong
<v Speaker 1>with your mic. We've apparently fixed it, Jr. And he
<v Speaker 1>puts his headset down, jars missing. Okay, he says, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>just in time. We just fixed the mic. And he's
<v Speaker 1>gone yep, And Vince explains he's got a fruit problem
<v Speaker 1>to business. What's that he's got business?
<v Speaker 2>Take care?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because he's in the ring and he's got a microphone.
<v Speaker 1>He tells the people here in Market Square Arena, Oh, here,
<v Speaker 1>I got it for you. Let's do it.
<v Speaker 5>Hey, go back at JR. Who's in the ring.
<v Speaker 6>What is this?
<v Speaker 4>And McMahon he's got his uh his butt kissers.
<v Speaker 6>Turn my microphone off so I can't be heard on television.
<v Speaker 4>Let's get it right here.
<v Speaker 6>I'm not gonna borrow you or going to this story
<v Speaker 6>again how he fired me twice and tried to ruin
<v Speaker 6>my life.
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't want to go into that.
<v Speaker 5>But I am gonna tell you is going on here
<v Speaker 5>that tomorrow night on Raw thanks to good Old Jr.
<v Speaker 4>I guarantee you.
<v Speaker 6>I promise you that Brett Hart is gonna be live
<v Speaker 6>in Fort Wade, Indiana. I promise you that he's taking
<v Speaker 6>credit to bringing Bret Hart back to ten. And I pause,
<v Speaker 6>he's coming back because you wanted to come back. You
<v Speaker 6>didn't go to South Africa gonna.
<v Speaker 5>Talk to him. I went to South Africa, right or wrong?
<v Speaker 4>Right or wrong?
<v Speaker 2>I said, yes, sir, no for you.
<v Speaker 5>You were in South Africa Jr. Yes, yessue. Is this
<v Speaker 5>tomorrow night? Brett Hart has got a lot to say.
<v Speaker 6>He said he was gonna come back with a shovel
<v Speaker 6>because he's gonna bury some people.
<v Speaker 5>Brett Hart has got a lot to say to you fans.
<v Speaker 6>He's got a lot to say to maybe Vince McMahon,
<v Speaker 6>and he's gonna be the things.
<v Speaker 5>I think for the World.
<v Speaker 2>Rusting Federation Champion.
<v Speaker 6>Bottom line Bret Hart will be uncensored tomorrow night, now
<v Speaker 6>seeing you. So the egotistical maniac who owns this company
<v Speaker 6>has screwed up the microphones and.
<v Speaker 5>He talks out of.
<v Speaker 2>Both sides of his mouth.
<v Speaker 6>Anyway, you need two microphones, you take this one.
<v Speaker 5>I'll see you tomorrow night on raw good Cotch Vnce.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, amazing.
<v Speaker 2>Piece of shit. He is.
<v Speaker 1>Just piece of shit. He is just having the time
<v Speaker 1>of his life, is what he's doing. Listen to fucking JR.
<v Speaker 1>Just go oh yeah, yeah, you let him go like
<v Speaker 1>this and it's gonna be interesting, that's for damn sure.
<v Speaker 1>He storms off.
<v Speaker 2>He's like the definition of the grumpy cat.
<v Speaker 4>He is.
<v Speaker 2>That's a good one, you know, Like that's that's JR. Jr.
<v Speaker 2>Is the grumpy cat.
<v Speaker 1>So they show Kevin Kelly talking to Fruke on the
<v Speaker 1>Free for All with the blue thing on his head
<v Speaker 1>and saying he was told Ahmed was here in the arena,
<v Speaker 1>and then Ahmed comes bumbling in and you know where
<v Speaker 1>to find me. He does his own promo. He says,
<v Speaker 1>we're from the same hood, same walk of life. I
<v Speaker 1>will pay you back. I'm like unlike some others. Well
<v Speaker 1>I've not paid back. Yes, you get the two by
<v Speaker 1>four uh in his hand. Feruke has shown on the
<v Speaker 1>on the the locker room floor, having apparently been assaulted
<v Speaker 1>by Amed Johnson and Vince's Ahmed was not necessarily the
<v Speaker 1>guy who provoked the confrontation. We understand something that Feruke
<v Speaker 1>did to Ahmed that that uh instigated the scene. We
<v Speaker 1>just observed so that to explain the absence of uh
<v Speaker 1>Fraruk in the upcoming Icy title match, Mister Perfect music
<v Speaker 1>hits and then JR. Brings him out for some reason.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's weird.
<v Speaker 1>I guess you know. They had the Superstars Alliance as
<v Speaker 1>a commentary team. Uh perfect tie is loose now they
<v Speaker 1>shake hands Jr And Perfect at the top of the
<v Speaker 1>ramp like he's like guiding his career now.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, like as if there's a Yeah, it's it's
<v Speaker 2>very bizarre because it doesn't it doesn't go anywhere.
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't know and I have to say, perfectly, it's
<v Speaker 1>pretty bad ass with a tie undone hanging over his neck,
<v Speaker 1>no blazer, the hair all frazzle. The hair just kicks
<v Speaker 1>someone's ass at a wedding.
<v Speaker 2>He does he does. Yeah, it's a guy you know
<v Speaker 2>who fucking who uh uh who went in the back
<v Speaker 2>and you know, just kicked uncle Uncle Frank's ass.
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Frank or like he cleaned house of like the
<v Speaker 1>troublemakers that showed up at his daughter's weddings.
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.
<v Speaker 1>They have a headset at ringside for mister perfect. By
<v Speaker 1>the way, we'll see if that works, he says, I
<v Speaker 1>don't care if it works.
<v Speaker 3>Are not?
<v Speaker 1>People know why I'm out here to watch the Intercontinental
<v Speaker 1>title matchup? You think I'm going perfectly? What's that?
<v Speaker 2>I said? It works perfect? Thank you?
<v Speaker 1>You think I'm going to just sit here after what
<v Speaker 1>Austin did to me and sit in the back. Says
<v Speaker 1>you got to you gotta buy tonight frustration taking out
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night and a triple h's.
<v Speaker 2>Is a don't you don't you kind of want to
<v Speaker 2>go on the back and beat up on often we're
<v Speaker 2>doing out here?
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to wrestle, you know, gold dust with Marlena.
<v Speaker 1>Now on their way to the ring, Vin says, you
<v Speaker 1>want to talk bizarre?
<v Speaker 2>Oh you fucking is this? I haven't I thought I
<v Speaker 2>had the fucking bizarre thing. Maybe it's in this let
<v Speaker 2>me see say the step into the ring and that's
<v Speaker 2>that's not it. Where the fuck? Ah, I'm pissed off
<v Speaker 2>because I had that bizarre That was the funniest fucking thing.
<v Speaker 1>It happens. You can consult your local peacock if you
<v Speaker 1>want to taste it. Perfect says he'll rip the headset
<v Speaker 1>off Vince McMahon if he his dies, So that's not
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a problem.
<v Speaker 2>Very everybody's very combative today, very much so.
<v Speaker 1>Confetti falling from the ceiling for gold Dust, Merrow and
<v Speaker 1>Sable are shown backstage, Merrill just looking cold into the
<v Speaker 1>camera with his championship belt. Lawler doing the interview here
<v Speaker 1>for Rouke. Lawler says, has got back trouble. I bet
<v Speaker 1>you got foot trouble. You're feeling cold feet tonight, and
<v Speaker 1>Merrow does pretty much the worst promo ever.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I still get amazed at how they threw him
<v Speaker 2>so much fucking money.
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty remarkable. Pritchard just says that Vince thought he
<v Speaker 1>was getting Johnny B. Bad and it turns out that
<v Speaker 1>Mark Merrow, not playing Johnny B Bad, has no charisma.
<v Speaker 1>And I guess he thought that if a guy could
<v Speaker 1>pull off Johnny B Bad, that well, he could pull
<v Speaker 1>off any.
<v Speaker 2>Character why couldn't he do Johnny B. Bad.
<v Speaker 1>It's a good question. I don't know why he couldn't
<v Speaker 1>do Johnny B.
<v Speaker 2>Bad.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess just strictly legally speaking, I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>They probably didn't trade mark too carefully back then, But
<v Speaker 1>I don't know Ifvince would want necessarily do something that
<v Speaker 1>directly duplicative of what WW was doing. He kind of
<v Speaker 1>did do it with Razor Ramone though, you remember that anyway,
<v Speaker 1>Uh Mari says, I don't get time for you. My
<v Speaker 1>eyes are focused on the match to night, unfortunately, what
<v Speaker 1>happened with Faruke in the world, he says, And the
<v Speaker 1>Intercontinental Champion of the world. I'm the Internconnald Champion of
<v Speaker 1>the world, and I'm focused on one thing. And Lawer says,
<v Speaker 1>every time you've been in the ring with gold Dust,
<v Speaker 1>it's been a tough night for you. Says, I'm the
<v Speaker 1>champ and you're the chump. Buddy ouch wow bon.
<v Speaker 2>Boom dunk, And of course.
<v Speaker 1>That would be a Sables music more than his right.
<v Speaker 1>As the years turned, Vince says, some say Marrow has
<v Speaker 1>uh the title due to a little advice from mister
<v Speaker 1>perfect here tonight.
<v Speaker 2>So uh yeah, that's true.
<v Speaker 1>I've heard that Sable behind him on the walk. Of
<v Speaker 1>course his his wife at the time. Merrill gets the
<v Speaker 1>twirling sparklers from the wall, and the twirling sparkler wall,
<v Speaker 1>I should say, dropping from the ceiling for his entrance,
<v Speaker 1>so no expense spared and trying to recover his investment here.
<v Speaker 2>No no note at all, making Meryl like a huge deal.
<v Speaker 1>Lawa references Vince's to pay the long standing trip they
<v Speaker 1>heard that stuck in all our brains all those years
<v Speaker 1>that Vince's hair was fake, when it really wasn't one thing.
<v Speaker 1>Every one thing he let everyone say was fake on
<v Speaker 1>the air with the one thing that wasn't.
<v Speaker 2>Fake, What do you do, right, Vince? He takes the
<v Speaker 2>time to admire Sable, not surprisingly. Yes, well, and this
<v Speaker 2>prompts uh Jerry Lawler Stable.
<v Speaker 5>To step into the ring and there she is. Yes, indeed, you.
<v Speaker 7>Know, I used to think she was a big detriment
<v Speaker 7>being at ringside, but now I think she's part of
<v Speaker 7>his success. I just saw her week at the referee
<v Speaker 7>and said, hey, remember last night at the Marriott, all
<v Speaker 7>right stopping.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, see what's fucking refs? That was me unbelievable.
<v Speaker 2>I was doing that, but.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I don't know. I comment lots still to come out.
<v Speaker 1>I think lots and still to come out. Meryl holds
<v Speaker 1>the hopes open for Sable. It takes her by the hand,
<v Speaker 1>walks around the ring.
<v Speaker 2>Well knows the question, that's the big question. Does Brock
<v Speaker 2>know if.
<v Speaker 1>That's a good one? Probably, but it didn't happen subsequent
<v Speaker 1>to him linking up with her, so he's fine with it. Potentially,
<v Speaker 1>she was one of those man that he put on
<v Speaker 1>TV and just like was all over on on screen.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, come on, he was like more or less
<v Speaker 2>defiled on.
<v Speaker 1>Vince says on the Superstar line that the smoking guns
<v Speaker 1>are back there. I would suggest with Sonny, maybe not
<v Speaker 1>without Sonny.
<v Speaker 2>He says, what what are you? What are you suggesting?
<v Speaker 1>Exactly exactly. Mike Kyota, presiding in the center Cando title match,
<v Speaker 1>hoists the strap up high, white leather belt back then,
<v Speaker 1>by the way, white leather.
<v Speaker 2>It was white leather. It was an interesting choice.
<v Speaker 1>And here we go, Mark Merriver scold us for the strap.
<v Speaker 2>O'mero won a tournament, right, yes?
<v Speaker 1>Who did he hit the shooting star press on to
<v Speaker 1>win the whole thing? I can picture in my head.
<v Speaker 1>I can picture the moment he won it, but I
<v Speaker 1>can't picture who he.
<v Speaker 2>Hit it on. I don't remember.
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look Mark marih Winds, I see title.
<v Speaker 2>Was it for Ruke and this is a rematch? I
<v Speaker 2>feel like it was.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that does actually feel a little correct. Let's
<v Speaker 1>see in a cardinal champ let's be a tournament which
<v Speaker 1>was vacated by m I due to injury, beat Austin
<v Speaker 1>on one and then for Ruk. Yeah, September twenty third,
<v Speaker 1>to win the title.
<v Speaker 2>He beat Austin.
<v Speaker 1>He beat Austin earlier in the tournament, and then he
<v Speaker 1>beat one and then he beat for Ruke in the final.
<v Speaker 1>I do remember that now. I remember being like, what,
<v Speaker 1>Ferruk's just gonna go down like that? That's fucking crazy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I remember thinking that there was no way that
<v Speaker 2>that marrow was going to come out with the on
<v Speaker 2>top the belt, right. It just didn't seem it didn't
<v Speaker 2>seem possible.
<v Speaker 1>So lock up in an arm track by Austin. You
<v Speaker 1>never whooped my ass and never will. And tomorrow night
<v Speaker 1>I feel sorry for Hunter. I'm going to take it
<v Speaker 1>out on you, so definitely get me his promos in
<v Speaker 1>on Steve Austin Iris Kurt Hennick.
<v Speaker 2>He called, he says. He says that Austin may be
<v Speaker 2>some kind of whoop ass. That's what he says. He
<v Speaker 2>calls it. You may you maybe some kind of whoop
<v Speaker 2>ass machine.
<v Speaker 1>You want to say anything else, kirt to finish the thought.
<v Speaker 2>And but he won't whoop perfect ass and never he said,
<v Speaker 2>this is this is actually, this is it. He won't
<v Speaker 2>whip perfect ass and will never whoop his ass. Idiot,
<v Speaker 2>that's what he says. You may be some kind of
<v Speaker 2>whoop ass, but you won't whoop mister perfect ass, and
<v Speaker 2>you'll never whoop my ass.
<v Speaker 1>Some kind of whoop ass? Is how like jockass? Almost
<v Speaker 1>that No, it's seriously shoving back to the corner. Marrow
<v Speaker 1>shoves down gold Dust. Laller says, can we say the
<v Speaker 1>A word anymore? Vince's I don't know. Uncautionably, he says,
<v Speaker 1>gold Dust is a master of mind games, mister perfect
<v Speaker 1>Goldist is a kick and a love tap whip. His
<v Speaker 1>reverse Maro hits a hiptos. Vince calls Goldiss a consummate wrestler.
<v Speaker 1>So there you go.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here that I have I'd have the Vin sick
<v Speaker 2>Man consummate wrestler. That leads to uh uh perfect, comparing
<v Speaker 2>him to Diesel and Razor Ramone. Right.
<v Speaker 9>Gold Dust, However, despite that bizarre look, gold dusts obviously
<v Speaker 9>a consummate wrestler.
<v Speaker 5>You no doubt about. Gold Dust has got great athletic ability.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, would be here in new World Wrestling Federation just.
<v Speaker 5>Like Razor Ramone and Diesel.
<v Speaker 4>They're great athletes.
<v Speaker 2>That's why JR.
<v Speaker 5>Brought him to the World Wrestling Federation.
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck talk about a non sequitor.
<v Speaker 2>It's so bizarre. Again, that's them, Maybe that's maybe that's
<v Speaker 2>why JR. Was exactly come on, hey goddamn, make sure
<v Speaker 2>you put over put over Diesel and Razor Romon better athletes,
<v Speaker 2>younger people.
<v Speaker 1>They're on the same page. Clearly he's a he is
<v Speaker 1>espousing positive things of for j are here yep, so
<v Speaker 1>Mera with a Japanese arm drag, which Vince calls a
<v Speaker 1>Mexican arm drag. Nice try love how the old ww
<v Speaker 1>F logo is still on the referee shirt. Back then
<v Speaker 1>they had the new logo tilted, but the old shiny
<v Speaker 1>one was still on the The emblem on the ref shirts,
<v Speaker 1>including on the jack specific referee figure by the way,
<v Speaker 1>really aid had the old logo A sight to behold,
<v Speaker 1>I love I love me A good referee figure.
<v Speaker 2>Ye.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why they could never get those right
<v Speaker 1>over the years, but because it was a massive fucking referee. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>So Lawler says, gold Dust will give me Mario the
<v Speaker 1>lung kiss good night tonight. I don't doubt that Marrow's
<v Speaker 1>arm dragging him all over the place. Vince says there
<v Speaker 1>was no comparison between Sex and Marlena, you see straight
<v Speaker 1>out says it. Yeah, says you know Sable's classy and beautiful,
<v Speaker 1>and I can.
<v Speaker 2>Tell you who I've had both, No exactly, I know
<v Speaker 2>the distinction.
<v Speaker 1>And says if you ever get a chance to say hello,
<v Speaker 1>please take advantage of it, just to ever say hello
<v Speaker 1>to Sable. I'm like, what are you talking about, Vince,
<v Speaker 1>so bire You're encouraging your fans to say hello to her?
<v Speaker 1>Is that what I heard?
<v Speaker 7>That?
<v Speaker 1>Even mean exactly told us working over Marrow in the
<v Speaker 1>corner Irish whip, Marrow hits the buckle and Goldust is
<v Speaker 1>in pursuit, hauling off on him. Marlena with a face
<v Speaker 1>at ringside that says, I don't know how else to
<v Speaker 1>put it. Bro Whiler says, Sable had lip injections. She
<v Speaker 1>looked like Mick Jagger after a bar fight at first
<v Speaker 1>they cut disable, who's barely able to contain laughing at
<v Speaker 1>the match itself. And how foolish this whole thing is
<v Speaker 1>that she finds herself in the middle.
<v Speaker 2>Of I'm know right that she got fucking dragged into
<v Speaker 2>this shop.
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't be too long until she was the most territorial
<v Speaker 1>woman they ever had.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, what when uh when did she marry Merrill?
<v Speaker 1>She was married to him before they got into the company,
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know that it's a good question. But
<v Speaker 1>they married when he was in w c W. They
<v Speaker 1>must have been, yeah, because it was only ninety four,
<v Speaker 1>says you're wow. Her real last name is Greek. I
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that really, Yeah, Rina Greek Rena Greek. That
<v Speaker 1>was her maiden name.
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like a wrestling name. I know that should have
<v Speaker 2>just kept that. Wow, stables better, that's true, Sabla, it's
<v Speaker 2>not better. Hummus thummas you see hummus. Oh, yeah, you
<v Speaker 2>have the brand. I see hums oh. First from the
<v Speaker 2>fresh from the the chickpeas of yep Rina's luins. It's fine.
<v Speaker 1>Vince for the second time calls out the history onics
<v Speaker 1>of gold dust. He likes that word. Maril with a
<v Speaker 1>tiltortal head sits or takeover high background.
<v Speaker 2>You actually is bizarre in this match, sobless hair, you think,
<v Speaker 2>so sopless hair is weird looking. I didn't know, you see,
<v Speaker 2>it's just like, it's very like, especially when you consider
<v Speaker 2>what she looked like later, very tightly curled, and it's
<v Speaker 2>just weird. It's weird.
<v Speaker 6>She was.
<v Speaker 1>She was on a different level than perhaps any woman
<v Speaker 1>we had seen on WF television since Elizabeth. I will
<v Speaker 1>say that it was like, wait a minute here, like, yeah, yep,
<v Speaker 1>this is like a little more than we're used to
<v Speaker 1>is wrestling fans.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, absolutely no question about that.
<v Speaker 1>Running closed line gold dust bales. Merril's on the top rope.
<v Speaker 1>Topy Conhio levels him. Merrow comes up limping though, and
<v Speaker 1>that was a real injury he suffers in this match.
<v Speaker 1>Really yep, yeap, he does tweak his knee. That's so
<v Speaker 1>sad to see him fly around.
<v Speaker 2>Is that the injury? What's that? Is that? The injury?
<v Speaker 2>That that kept them out.
<v Speaker 1>I think, so wow, because he drawed do he looses
<v Speaker 1>the next night. We don't see him again until.
<v Speaker 2>Uh, until WrestleMania, when he's doing fucking selling T shirt
<v Speaker 2>the boxing, yeah, the boxing gimmick. Well no, but he
<v Speaker 2>he's at WrestleMania selling T shirts before he even comes back.
<v Speaker 1>Oh wrestling he seventeen, yeah, no, thirteen, I'm sorry, I'm
<v Speaker 1>in wrestling at ninety seven.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's fucking selling T shirts, hacking
<v Speaker 2>shirts like a bitch.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it looks like sounds like upside to me. I
<v Speaker 1>mean that's a great gimmick.
<v Speaker 2>Well, wow, the wall mount Mark Murrow, we're in the
<v Speaker 2>russell Mania T shirt.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so just just another sad moment here for Mark
<v Speaker 1>Merrow's WBF caurriers. He digs up his leg trying to
<v Speaker 1>make people care with a front flip over the ropes.
<v Speaker 2>Nobody cares o.
<v Speaker 1>Mark rolled back in outside in lake CROPI Marrow gets too.
<v Speaker 1>The replay does show that the knee does in fact
<v Speaker 1>get trapped underneath the the carcass of one gold dust
<v Speaker 1>me with a back elbow climbs with the moon salt.
<v Speaker 1>The gold dust snakes in an arm and drives him
<v Speaker 1>down with a power bomb, which is kind of a
<v Speaker 1>tough landing, and really rocks him with that thing to
<v Speaker 1>the floor. End of the steps goes Marrow Sable screaming
<v Speaker 1>for her man as Lawler system, mister perfectly said more
<v Speaker 1>you're interested in? Uh Mark Merrill? Or is it sable
<v Speaker 1>that you're looking at You're out here stealing hunters women
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Perfect says he's trying to do him
<v Speaker 1>a favor when he steals these women from him. Weppon
<v Speaker 1>a clothesline by Goldust. Finn says, forget about it. That
<v Speaker 1>was another great one.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's a classic.
<v Speaker 1>When some is about to get a two count, Lawler asks, uh,
<v Speaker 1>what mister perfect is done with all the women that
<v Speaker 1>he's taken from Triple A? She says, wouldn't you like
<v Speaker 1>to know which one do you want to start with?
<v Speaker 6>So?
<v Speaker 2>I guess Lawler wants what details on how he fucked them?
<v Speaker 2>I guess how he's asking for him? Yes, I guess
<v Speaker 2>I guess he wants to know. He wants all the
<v Speaker 2>dirty details as to the uh what went on in
<v Speaker 2>the sack?
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, if you were, if you were a
<v Speaker 1>divaon roster when Jerry was doing full PERV mode.
<v Speaker 2>You had to know when did that stop?
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, I know when he was allowed
<v Speaker 1>to be that way on TV as well. Oh, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>there's no question that he was shopping for images that
<v Speaker 1>he could burn in his mind so he could take
<v Speaker 1>back to the hotel that night and finished exactly exactly
<v Speaker 1>a mighty guysers. And and you were next, if you
<v Speaker 1>were a woman on that roster. Yes, he was thinking
<v Speaker 1>about you as he climbed.
<v Speaker 2>And if you, if you ever graced the ring or
<v Speaker 2>graced the television screens of the of the w w
<v Speaker 2>E during Jerry Lawler's run with the company Photographic Memory,
<v Speaker 2>you were he jerked off to you? All right, sit
<v Speaker 2>in the hotel. Think about that.
<v Speaker 1>It's always hit just him alone in the hotel with
<v Speaker 1>a pizza.
<v Speaker 2>He's alone, he's alone. Pizza's on the table. Oh ready, No,
<v Speaker 2>I'm not Ready's pizzas on the table. I'm not readyza
<v Speaker 2>pizza on the table or on the desk wherever it's
<v Speaker 2>picked over. He's he's in bed, just kind of he's
<v Speaker 2>laying on his back like he himself to the zone. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>staring at the faw hands down by the sick legs,
<v Speaker 2>just you know, like the part all right, he's just
<v Speaker 2>kind of sitting there. He just stands there and he
<v Speaker 2>just after, like you know, he has like a hotel. Yeah, yes, exactly,
<v Speaker 2>he needs to have that kind of local yep, that
<v Speaker 2>kind of white noise in the background that kind of
<v Speaker 2>drains out disgusting disgust, concentrate and oh he's naked on
<v Speaker 2>the bed by the way too, fuck.
<v Speaker 1>It hell, and then he just after At first he's
<v Speaker 1>just boxers, right, but he insists on being fully nude
<v Speaker 1>when he masturbates.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and without moving anything else. He just when he's ready,
<v Speaker 2>he just goes and he finishes, and then he gets up,
<v Speaker 2>he goes to the bat. He takes like a full
<v Speaker 2>shower after.
<v Speaker 1>Disgusting full shower somehow more disgusting than not taking a shower.
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why that is, but it somehow is.
<v Speaker 1>It takes like a fifteen minute shower. Does he finish
<v Speaker 1>on his own stomach with the hair and everything? I
<v Speaker 1>think he does?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, listen, listen. It's just it like he you know,
<v Speaker 2>he he's courteous enough to not get it all in
<v Speaker 2>the bed. Well selfishness doesn't want to get you know.
<v Speaker 1>It feels like someone just splashed warm soup on him.
<v Speaker 2>And he doesn't mind that. He doesn't on his own,
<v Speaker 2>on his own, you know, on his own bellies. Disgusting, right,
<v Speaker 2>doesn't doesn't make a sense.
<v Speaker 1>Not a single Devon roster was safe. Every single one
<v Speaker 1>of them had their turn.
<v Speaker 2>Yep. And here's the thing. Never once does he actually
<v Speaker 2>emote from it. Oh god, that was like not even excitement,
<v Speaker 2>not a piece, just kind of happens and then he's done.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you ever saw him backstage at a
<v Speaker 1>show and you were a female member of the roster,
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he had a long conversation with you
<v Speaker 1>about you know, who you are, where you came from,
<v Speaker 1>what your goals are, what you care about, which you
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's just he's just downloading. He's just downloading, Yes, information,
<v Speaker 1>he can recall it later in the hotel room information.
<v Speaker 2>Right.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I know, I'm sorry to be the bearer
<v Speaker 1>of this news, but that's the way it is. And
<v Speaker 1>how creepy at star cast was it When he was
<v Speaker 1>in his hotel the whole time, his room the whole
<v Speaker 1>time he came down to do like the roast and
<v Speaker 1>then went right back to his room, presumably to watch
<v Speaker 1>the Browns or whatever. I'm sure he wasn't walking the floor.
<v Speaker 1>He was just up there. God knows what.
<v Speaker 2>That's it. That's it, you know, because because he knows,
<v Speaker 2>he knows that if he's out yep, in a hotel
<v Speaker 2>with that many people and that many you know, women,
<v Speaker 2>he's going to get in trouble.
<v Speaker 1>Is that why?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, something is going to happen. And it's got less
<v Speaker 2>to do with like, you know, the actual woman than
<v Speaker 2>it has to do with who she with, because he's
<v Speaker 2>not you know, he'll he'll he'll gladly you know, bank
<v Speaker 2>someone who's got like a boyfriend or a husband or whatever.
<v Speaker 2>That's no problem with that. But he doesn't want to
<v Speaker 2>get beat up by somebody else.
<v Speaker 7>I love that.
<v Speaker 1>I love that cowardice.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>That like the price he pays to be that much
<v Speaker 1>of a deviant, you know, right right, price of loneliness.
<v Speaker 2>He accepts it, He accepcepts it, and he and he says,
<v Speaker 2>you know what, in situations like this, it's better for
<v Speaker 2>me to just hide away in the hotel.
<v Speaker 1>The only place he can feel safe is the holiday
<v Speaker 1>craft fair at the high school.
<v Speaker 2>Every year.
<v Speaker 1>He hangs out at those Oh.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he does think about think about him just kind
<v Speaker 2>of like walking.
<v Speaker 1>You think he grabs seasonal staples at the holiday fair
<v Speaker 1>every year?
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely does he grab like that.
<v Speaker 1>He goes that full cup of cinnamon flavored potpourri.
<v Speaker 2>That's what do you want to call it? He's a problem.
<v Speaker 2>I don't.
<v Speaker 1>I don't see why we reached that conclusion at all.
<v Speaker 1>We're just describing the man. I don't see why that's
<v Speaker 1>inherently problematic. I don't see why it's problematic.
<v Speaker 2>That he's also also also, by the way, one detail
<v Speaker 2>I forgot to mention. I can ever forgot this. The
<v Speaker 2>blinds are open the whole time, right, There's no he's
<v Speaker 2>not closing the blind This is a this is a thing, okay,
<v Speaker 2>wide open. Someone's in a neighboring building, they see it.
<v Speaker 1>I just hope everyone's aware. I just hope everyone.
<v Speaker 2>You know, they see the King's court.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they do. They see the King's Courtyard, Marriott, It's
<v Speaker 1>what they see. The fucking little rock ABC affiliate news
<v Speaker 1>on you know the car dealer commercial. When he when
<v Speaker 1>he climb axes, yep, oh god, it stills like a
<v Speaker 1>Subaru rolling down like a rain slicked road. YEP, zero
<v Speaker 1>zero point nine percent APR.
<v Speaker 2>YEP, total disaster, just a mess.
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Lawler falling asleep with the TV on is disturbingh
<v Speaker 1>deeply disturbing.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's not okay.
<v Speaker 1>You know there's no telling what it took to get
<v Speaker 1>him knocked out to the point that the TV didn't
<v Speaker 1>wake him up, right. I don't know why we do
<v Speaker 1>this to ourselves.
<v Speaker 2>Well, we just want people to be aware. That's truly
<v Speaker 2>for other people's sake.
<v Speaker 1>Some Merrow bounces up with some elbows and then he
<v Speaker 1>hits the ropes, but gold Dust hits a kitchen sink
<v Speaker 1>need of his gut, cutting him off at the past,
<v Speaker 1>Goldust drops a fist. Mister perfect as anyone thinks I
<v Speaker 1>have some rust on me, Step up to the plate
<v Speaker 1>and I'll show you so. Talking beg on the call
<v Speaker 1>Ourselmsley was just the first of many, he says. Austin's
<v Speaker 1>going to get his two talks about his brand new
<v Speaker 1>suit and tie and Vinceince, I thought we saw that
<v Speaker 1>one before, Laller, since I passed on that at k
<v Speaker 1>martin fixes. Of course, blue Light Special wasn't on while
<v Speaker 1>her asks if Sable is wearing those Halloween wax lips.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, it's like obsessed with making fun of
<v Speaker 1>her lips, I guess, which is not a feature that
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying her lips aren't lovely, but like, what
<v Speaker 1>are you calling out? She doesn't have like yourtuitous lips
<v Speaker 1>at all? Right, it's a very it's an odd choice
<v Speaker 1>to go after the lips like it is. Maybe maybe
<v Speaker 1>he's trying to insinuate that she's got big lips for
<v Speaker 1>dick sucking. Maybe I guess, I don't know where he's
<v Speaker 1>going on that.
<v Speaker 2>It's just weird, Like.
<v Speaker 1>I guess, it's just something a heel has to say
<v Speaker 1>about a beauty presented as a baby face.
<v Speaker 2>You know that she's got big lips.
<v Speaker 1>They did it, just nitpick her appearance somehow, And that's
<v Speaker 1>what he latches onto. Meryl pulls up.
<v Speaker 2>That's a. That's a.
<v Speaker 1>That was a big Trump thing. Remember she had a
<v Speaker 1>lip job she had. You know he used to do
<v Speaker 1>that too all the time. Marrow piles up the right
<v Speaker 1>hands ducks the body press gets two back up in
<v Speaker 1>goldist levels and of the Larry at Sable very active
<v Speaker 1>at ringside more so than I remember.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't remember being like this until uh, you know,
<v Speaker 2>at least until the following year.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, be more statue sque just standing there kind of
<v Speaker 1>deer in the headlights. But she's banging on the canvas,
<v Speaker 1>she's moving around. Goldes gets the microphone, so shut.
<v Speaker 2>The hell up. Oh here, I got this because this
<v Speaker 2>leads into the most bizarre conversation held ever. Was giving
<v Speaker 2>a microphone. That microphone works. Fine, Hey, he's gonna pull.
<v Speaker 5>One of my tricks.
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna do.
<v Speaker 5>Commentary whilie wrestles.
<v Speaker 2>I've gone out there personally on the statement tongue. All right,
<v Speaker 2>none of this that.
<v Speaker 5>Long kiss cant I was telling you about.
<v Speaker 2>And again.
<v Speaker 5>Olds reas here is couts to WWS. Don't ask, don't
<v Speaker 5>tell policy. Oh stop it is us army ww F.
<v Speaker 2>Come on, get up a few good.
<v Speaker 5>That Bill Cuinns personal philosophy, by.
<v Speaker 1>The way, fence, shut the fuck up. Seriously, I I
<v Speaker 1>you know, just stop. You're making a complete idiot out
<v Speaker 1>of yourself.
<v Speaker 2>Seriously. He thinks he's so pissing me off. Man, it's
<v Speaker 2>so weird. I know, it's so weird. It's very uncomfortable,
<v Speaker 2>like hearing him kind of comment on ship like that, like.
<v Speaker 1>Oh dude, why rip from the headlines? I guess crowd.
<v Speaker 1>You know, crowd's hot here, no question. Maybe it was
<v Speaker 1>that promo that did it. Maybe Merrol hits back supplex,
<v Speaker 1>climbs top ropes and turns around and moon salt. So
<v Speaker 1>the nie stable up for that. It gets to back
<v Speaker 1>up whip his reverse marrot to the corner. Golda strikes
<v Speaker 1>the kidney hooks the curtain call attempt lifts him up,
<v Speaker 1>but Merrow backflips over hits the rolling reverse cradle with
<v Speaker 1>his uh you know you put the legs under the
<v Speaker 1>armpits and roll them over.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it gets two back up arrow charges and his
<v Speaker 1>backdrop to the floor of those two fans slapping older.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the rolling reverse cradle, I think is
<v Speaker 1>what it's called, No mercy, Is that where you're thinking of?
<v Speaker 1>Is where you've heard the name of the move before
<v Speaker 1>the game?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I think, yeah, yes, yes, I just always forget
<v Speaker 2>the name of that. But rolling reverse cradles sounds.
<v Speaker 1>Right right, So yeah, Meryl backdropped to the floor those
<v Speaker 1>two fans earlier that Vince made fun over slapping goldusts
<v Speaker 1>back perfect says that this ref is doing nothing and
<v Speaker 1>drops the headset. He's going to do something. He tends
<v Speaker 1>to Mark Merrill camera looks up the island. Here comes
<v Speaker 1>hunter Hurst Helmsley Perfect Go Perfect Perfect, and Helmsley face off,
<v Speaker 1>kicks over Marline his chair, getting each other's face. The
<v Speaker 1>ref gets between them. Goldust comes up from behind perfect
<v Speaker 1>Deck's gold dust before he can throw, and pursues hunter
<v Speaker 1>Hurst Helmsley up the aisleway and again something else. You
<v Speaker 1>can look back and retrospect and see cahoots here.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, this is what I love about too about about
<v Speaker 2>the WWE at this time, there were so many cross
<v Speaker 2>current issues you you know, like you just had you know,
<v Speaker 2>no one was.
<v Speaker 1>Makes no sense that you have an issue with just
<v Speaker 1>one person every two months and then have another issue
<v Speaker 1>with somebody else for two months.
<v Speaker 2>But the thing was too It had this sense of
<v Speaker 2>unpredictability did but it wasn't disorganized like it was just
<v Speaker 2>like it was very very well organized, yes, and it
<v Speaker 2>made sense, and it was just it was just so
<v Speaker 2>great that you'd see someone having an issue at the
<v Speaker 2>beginning with somebody else, but they also had an issue
<v Speaker 2>with this person dating that back months and just kept
<v Speaker 2>going on and on and on and on and on.
<v Speaker 2>It was so great.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I agree, it was.
<v Speaker 2>It rewards.
<v Speaker 1>It rewards you for paying attention. You know, it's all
<v Speaker 1>you asked for as a wrestling fan, is that if
<v Speaker 1>they're spends much time watching the television show, yeah, you
<v Speaker 1>can trust that the people putting it together paid more
<v Speaker 1>attention to the detail than you do.
<v Speaker 2>And it's also like, but but what's so great is
<v Speaker 2>that the the product was so entertaining that you're not
<v Speaker 2>even really like it's almost you're not paying attention right now.
<v Speaker 1>You don't think about those goods. It's just working. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and that's what we lost, honestly. It started watching pro wrestling,
<v Speaker 1>like where Ciskel and Ebert, Right, we all know that
<v Speaker 1>back in Mayo with a whip to the corner someone
<v Speaker 1>and dropping the corner signals with the shooting star press,
<v Speaker 1>he goes up top. He called it the wild Thing,
<v Speaker 1>by the way, yea he did, and he scores with it.
<v Speaker 1>One two and three. Mark Merrow defeats gold Dust eleven minutes,
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight seconds to retain the strap.
<v Speaker 2>Wild because he didn't he didn't win the he didn't
<v Speaker 2>beat Goldust with that move at SummerSlam.
<v Speaker 1>Oh interesting, how to beat him at Star Slam. I
<v Speaker 1>don't remember.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he if he beat him, but
<v Speaker 2>gold Dust kicked out. Wow, he kicked out of the
<v Speaker 2>fucking shooting Star Press. That's crazy. That's a wild Devin.
<v Speaker 2>It is wild that when he still was running the
<v Speaker 2>black boots Mark Marrow that is maybe Yeah, I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>It's a berfect. Seems happy with the outcome. Yeah, well
<v Speaker 2>he wanted him for for his his real protege.
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, come to find out, and still.
<v Speaker 2>The gold Dust gold Dust beat Marrow. Amazing, Like, what
<v Speaker 2>the fuck you guys doing. I mean, you're killing your investment.
<v Speaker 1>That's just a sign they're giving up, you know.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, perfect gets it. Then they give me icy strap
<v Speaker 2>though and let him go for a lot. No, that's
<v Speaker 2>so stupid.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, they give him nicey Strapp in a
<v Speaker 1>way where he loses it and like the biggest afterthought
<v Speaker 1>way possible to him and he wins to tournament. It's cool, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but that is the fans know when they're booking an
<v Speaker 1>intercontinental champion that's going places, and when they're booking an
<v Speaker 1>intercontinental champion that they have buyer's remorse for and this
<v Speaker 1>was yes, definitely the latter. Perfect gets it and raises
<v Speaker 1>Marrow's hand along with Sables and what a wild thing
<v Speaker 1>it was only in the w w F F and sais,
<v Speaker 1>can you see this kind of athleticism? And I don't know,
<v Speaker 1>you can definitely see all the moves he just did
<v Speaker 1>in WCW But that's fine. Yeah, Sable gets to hoist
<v Speaker 1>the icy title for a moment there, and very nice
<v Speaker 1>back stage WWF fake Razoro and Diesel are are with
<v Speaker 1>the the AOL position with the hotline people with two
<v Speaker 1>guys on old brick laptops and j R. Looking over
<v Speaker 1>them making sour puss faces the whole time. Glenn Jacobs
<v Speaker 1>rubbing his glove in the background is Diesel too, And
<v Speaker 1>Vince says, you can bet if j RS Mike isn't working,
<v Speaker 1>boss his keyboard is.
<v Speaker 2>That's right.
<v Speaker 1>It's time for a battle of the power Boy. But
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, the power Bombs talk about serendipity from
<v Speaker 1>last week.
<v Speaker 2>Here we go. We got the the the uh, the
<v Speaker 2>battle of the Masters of the power Bomb, going.
<v Speaker 1>Back and forth. You're not the master, I'm the master.
<v Speaker 1>It's a good package. They show Sid in Vader just
<v Speaker 1>power bombing the shit out of a bunch of people.
<v Speaker 1>And they even have, uh, they even have Seawn Michael's
<v Speaker 1>way in with kind of like perspective talking about how
<v Speaker 1>he's taken both. He's hit both, Yeah, power bombs, and
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, he says, I was knocked out after
<v Speaker 1>both of them, so they're equally as effective. One man
<v Speaker 1>will be the master and one man will not be
<v Speaker 1>very good. It says the winner will face the champion
<v Speaker 1>of Survivor series. That's clear. Now Here comes did projected
<v Speaker 1>on the aisle as s I d they're walking through
<v Speaker 1>a cemetery gate. By the way, there's no house up there.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I mean, uh, and there there's a cemetery
<v Speaker 1>gate in the isisleway. Yeah, Sid comes out there popping.
<v Speaker 1>The lights are sparkling off his wetness as he makes
<v Speaker 1>the way down the aisle, fist bumping everybody. Take time reaction,
<v Speaker 1>big time entrance for Sid. I mean, he's as over
<v Speaker 1>he's ever been here, probably the most over.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, it's a it's such a weird, a
<v Speaker 2>weird thing, how over he was in this run.
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he was just like that last guy
<v Speaker 1>who still looked like he used to carried himself like
<v Speaker 1>he used to who was, you know, a big deal
<v Speaker 1>in the ninety in the early nineties and also had
<v Speaker 1>a you know of a psycho character that you could
<v Speaker 1>get into a little more.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, it's just like it's just a weird.
<v Speaker 2>It's just weird. How he Yeah, how you see get
<v Speaker 2>really over how.
<v Speaker 1>People saw Hims a breath of fresh air were a
<v Speaker 1>year ago when he turned on Michaels, it was like
<v Speaker 1>it was it was good, but it wasn't like, oh
<v Speaker 1>my god, Sid's here. That was just a year prior.
<v Speaker 1>But for some reason this ninety six Sid, I remember
<v Speaker 1>he came in because they were scrambling when Ultimate Warrior
<v Speaker 1>didn show up, an international incident, and he's WWF champion
<v Speaker 1>within months. That's how hot he comes in. It's his
<v Speaker 1>career amazing. Becomes Vader looking kind of glassy eyed, like
<v Speaker 1>he's sick or something. He frankly comes out looking like
<v Speaker 1>somebody that knows he's about to lose a match. That's
<v Speaker 1>his last chance at being a adline player in the company.
<v Speaker 1>Sean Michaels then comes to the ring kind of to
<v Speaker 1>no pop. Honestly, at first, and then they then they
<v Speaker 1>understand it's actually him coming out because he's not scheduled
<v Speaker 1>to wrestle with the black shirt and right black shirt
<v Speaker 1>and blazer looking like a fucking joke. That's calls him
<v Speaker 1>the most charismatic WIF champ of all time. He gets
<v Speaker 1>in the ring and shakes hands with Sid and steps
<v Speaker 1>to Vader. Trash talks a bit, gives him a thumbs down.
<v Speaker 1>Jim Cornett's in his face. Sean Michaels pulls out Jim
<v Speaker 1>cornett hanky and blows his nose with it and throws
<v Speaker 1>it on the mat and then kicks his ass. I
<v Speaker 1>think he kicks his ass.
<v Speaker 2>Does he kick his ass?
<v Speaker 1>I think he does.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>I think he does, yeh, because Cornett bends over to
<v Speaker 1>pick it up and Sean boots him in the ass.
<v Speaker 2>That's what I said by that.
<v Speaker 1>So it's Vader versus Sid, the match you've wanted to
<v Speaker 1>see for since star K ninety three.
<v Speaker 2>Really, Yeah, we've been waiting. We've been waiting for it.
<v Speaker 1>Vader lunges at HBK and lands on on Sid, but
<v Speaker 1>Sid does not budge. Sid hauls off and does a
<v Speaker 1>running clothesline, putting down Vader. Sid, HiT's a big leg
<v Speaker 1>drop right out of the gate.
<v Speaker 2>I know that what I thought.
<v Speaker 1>Two, it's too Sean's joining us on commentary corner, mounted
<v Speaker 1>punches by Sid. He tries to body slam Vader, but
<v Speaker 1>he's too fat. At least he's too fat right now. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>Seann Michael says, knew you wouldn't allow me to enjoy
<v Speaker 1>my one day off. As he puts the said on
<v Speaker 1>and Ada goes to work in the corner. You better
<v Speaker 1>believe it's Ada. He goes Hi who goes low, keeps
<v Speaker 1>landing till Sid essentially falls to his crotch area. John
<v Speaker 1>Michael is delivering word salads at ringside.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, he's such the fucking worst.
<v Speaker 1>It's like he's got adhd or something. I don't know
<v Speaker 1>what he's doing.
<v Speaker 2>No, seriously, like you know, he's he makes no sense,
<v Speaker 2>like he thinks he's coming up with these He's very
<v Speaker 2>vinistic man in that way, yes, where he thinks he's
<v Speaker 2>coming up with these witticisms. But they're not.
<v Speaker 1>They're just it just almost tetrable.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>To the corner of Vader with the barge slips out
<v Speaker 1>of the floor selling as he misses it. Uh HPK
<v Speaker 1>leans over and cheers on Sid. Corny Nail said to
<v Speaker 1>the tennis racketal Tim right, the referee is distracted. Sean
<v Speaker 1>at one point says, I'm not an announcer, which is great.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why you put the headset on.
<v Speaker 2>Then, yeah, I don't need that information.
<v Speaker 1>Sid is laying there like he's paralyzed on the cell job.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's a ringside on the floor, motionless, like
<v Speaker 1>a corpse vader, standing in the ring, just breathing, waiting
<v Speaker 1>for something that's supposed to happen here, Ah Lawler said,
<v Speaker 1>Sid reminds him with the snake in that position sup
<v Speaker 1>Pine on the outside, and then Sid just climbs back
<v Speaker 1>in the ring, realizing that whatever he was waiting for
<v Speaker 1>to happen on the outside, selling like he was dead,
<v Speaker 1>like he was corpsing, was not going to come happen.
<v Speaker 1>So he gets in the ring and Ady goes back
<v Speaker 1>to work. Sid fire's back and then I swear to god,
<v Speaker 1>Sid does a slingshot sunset flip it buried alive.
<v Speaker 2>Oh listen, all right, Sid's here to work, He's here
<v Speaker 2>to prove, he's here to show, Well, what exactly is
<v Speaker 2>he here?
<v Speaker 7>To prove.
<v Speaker 2>Listen, he's here to prove exactly that he is the
<v Speaker 2>most most athletically gifted, agile, uh, you know, hardest working,
<v Speaker 2>you know, would be w champion there ever was, I wrote,
<v Speaker 2>what the hell is he doing? He's there to prove
<v Speaker 2>that he can go with little guys like Brett and
<v Speaker 2>Uh and Sean Michaels.
<v Speaker 1>Lawler says, someone has a pirate's dream, a sunken chest
<v Speaker 1>of Chris Jericho's out there with Kope, Kingston, Scott Steiner
<v Speaker 1>Ada hits three short clothes lines dropping Sid. Sean calls
<v Speaker 1>out Vader hamming it up between moments there, Yeah, Sandwich,
<v Speaker 1>Vader was hamming it up before the match exactly. Sid
<v Speaker 1>explodes with the back suplex though.
<v Speaker 2>On the comeback especially, he gets very excited when they
<v Speaker 2>have carving stations. Oh my catering.
<v Speaker 1>That's not fucking a good idea. Vader's on the card
<v Speaker 1>to spring for that.
<v Speaker 2>I'm a compensation, I'm talking.
<v Speaker 1>He goes up for seventh helping. Oh, absolutely, seventh, seventh helping,
<v Speaker 1>seventh heaven got it right. When I see their lovely
<v Speaker 1>faces smiling back.
<v Speaker 2>At me, well, it's it's trouble, but you know, They're like,
<v Speaker 2>oh shit, it's the wrestling show. Which which wrestling show
<v Speaker 2>is this? It's the w w Oh fuck Vader. They
<v Speaker 2>have that Vader guy, right, Yeah, that fucking big fat
<v Speaker 2>guy who eats everything.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I said, apparently he's been eating. Training partner Sean
<v Speaker 1>Michael says in commentary that Sid has gone through ten
<v Speaker 1>of them.
<v Speaker 2>I think, uh is that? Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>Here I have this one, he said, has gone through
<v Speaker 4>about ten training partners since being back in the World
<v Speaker 4>Wrestling firection. Nobody can hang and bang like Psycho said,
<v Speaker 4>not even later, yea hanging right?
<v Speaker 2>What's that.
<v Speaker 1>Kind of call out of that.
<v Speaker 2>Dude to the corner?
<v Speaker 1>Eighter with those short punches to the mouth, whip to
<v Speaker 1>the corner, said reverses, Sid charges with a big boot,
<v Speaker 1>reverse me, he screams, and he does. Sid gets the
<v Speaker 1>foot up on the charge. How did I miss the
<v Speaker 1>earphones in?
<v Speaker 6>I did?
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, it's there.
<v Speaker 2>I did, reverse me, reverse me. Oh God'd be.
<v Speaker 1>A great list of time codes out there for someone
<v Speaker 1>that wants to get a blog going of wrestlers calling
<v Speaker 1>spots out and matches.
<v Speaker 2>That's that's that's a great idea. That's a great fucking idea.
<v Speaker 1>Remember h Saint Valentine's Day massacre, Ken Shamrock screening slap
<v Speaker 1>me to Ryan Shamrock and then he just slaps and
<v Speaker 1>that was a very obvious one.
<v Speaker 2>To the top. Got Sid.
<v Speaker 1>He leaps into a cross body block. Sid is doing
<v Speaker 1>a top rope cross body block.
<v Speaker 2>Here a.
<v Speaker 1>Hang, but he gets caught in mid motion and front slammed.
<v Speaker 1>Sid is out here tonight for star ratings. When you
<v Speaker 1>tell Cidy's on track to win the strap, he goes
<v Speaker 1>out there and he does sunset flips, he does top
<v Speaker 1>rope cross body blocks.
<v Speaker 2>He's there to prove.
<v Speaker 1>He does the moves that you know an objective mind
<v Speaker 1>will lead you to believe. At a star and a half, yes,
<v Speaker 1>Vader splashes Sid for two. Now Sid barely pokes the
<v Speaker 1>shoulder up under that house that is Vader and Vader
<v Speaker 1>with a middle rope inverted leep. He does a big
<v Speaker 1>time splash. He almost bounces off of Sid and then
<v Speaker 1>he pulls him up instead of covering him. What an idiot,
<v Speaker 1>I know. And then he what does he do? He
<v Speaker 1>puts he just puts his hand on Sid's chest for
<v Speaker 1>another two. So he pulls him up, refusing to cover him,
<v Speaker 1>and then just lays him back down and tries to
<v Speaker 1>cover him again.
<v Speaker 2>It's weird, like, what are you doing?
<v Speaker 1>He signals for the Vader bomb. He goes for it,
<v Speaker 1>but Sid gets the knees up. He charges with the lariot.
<v Speaker 1>Down goes Vader, and then he body slams Vader does
<v Speaker 1>sit here at larrit alive, gets the crowd up. He
<v Speaker 1>mouths power bomb to the people. He hooks him up
<v Speaker 1>for it. No way his said, going to power bomb Vader.
<v Speaker 1>So Cornet jumps up in the out that you thought
<v Speaker 1>it was gonna happen?
<v Speaker 2>I thought.
<v Speaker 1>Corneck gets up on the apron and Sid goes over
<v Speaker 1>and pulls the middle rope into the crotch of a
<v Speaker 1>cornet before he can enter the ring. So that takes
<v Speaker 1>care of that. The whip is reversed and said with
<v Speaker 1>a low boot hooks it up again for the power bomb.
<v Speaker 1>Vader drops to a knee and hits him in the dick.
<v Speaker 1>Sean says he may have to steal that one comes
<v Speaker 1>Survivor series. Brother, I'm thinking what you're saying it it
<v Speaker 1>won't work and Vader won't be going.
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean? I know that kind of weird forecasting.
<v Speaker 2>The outcome here. Vader then hooks up a power bomb
<v Speaker 2>on his own. Was that we say it's fake?
<v Speaker 1>Vader tries a power bomb of its own, but that's blocked.
<v Speaker 1>He just makes a noise like he's in the bathroom
<v Speaker 1>instead of hitting anything. Ah In, Vader whips in Sid said, ducks,
<v Speaker 1>goozles him, lifts them up high with a choke slam,
<v Speaker 1>dumping Vader to the canvas. Cover one two, three, eight minutes.
<v Speaker 1>Sid defeats Vader to go on a Survivor Series to
<v Speaker 1>challenge for the WDF Championship. Here at Buried Alive shines
<v Speaker 1>up on the headset says, I cheered for Sid. Now
<v Speaker 1>I got to bring him down. He gets into the ring,
<v Speaker 1>taps it in the back. Sid smiles. There's a bit
<v Speaker 1>of jaw jacking between the two. It's getting intense. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Sid points to his head. They shake hands. Sid laughs,
<v Speaker 1>Sean raises Sid's hand and the pyro shoots off from
<v Speaker 1>the ceiling for our number one contender. I have to say,
<v Speaker 1>you know, besides winning the title, this is the biggest
<v Speaker 1>time Sid has ever felt to me in WWF right
<v Speaker 1>here in this.
<v Speaker 2>Match, easily easily, it's a it's a big it's a
<v Speaker 2>big moment. And I mean, I I mean, I remember,
<v Speaker 2>I mean I was. I was shocked when he won.
<v Speaker 2>But you know it definitely it had it had a
<v Speaker 2>big match, feel Sean and and Sid.
<v Speaker 1>You know, totally agree. They do a Survivors Series ad
<v Speaker 1>showing New York City never sleeps, you won't have time
<v Speaker 1>to sleep. And they got the w WS and they
<v Speaker 1>have the Hall of Fame. They even advertise, which I
<v Speaker 1>forgot they advertise so strongly in ninety six.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I had no clue, I mean, especially because it
<v Speaker 2>wasn't televised, right.
<v Speaker 1>No, it was tape for home video, but it was Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I think this is when you could get on home video.
<v Speaker 2>Okay.
<v Speaker 1>It took place at the Marriott Marquee in Times Square.
<v Speaker 2>No one fucking got it, I mean, no one buy it.
<v Speaker 2>Could you? Did you dam get that?
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it? Yeah, I have seen it. I didn't
<v Speaker 1>own it, but I've seen it.
<v Speaker 2>I've seen it, but I didn't like I didn't know
<v Speaker 2>that the you know that they actually saw the video
<v Speaker 2>of it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it was one you you could find
<v Speaker 1>very easily in bockbuster. But I think they did come
<v Speaker 1>out with it. I see so Doc talking about this.
<v Speaker 1>His first Hall of Fame was last year, which is god,
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen ninety five Hall of Fame. I think I've
<v Speaker 1>seen that too, But why that blows my mind that
<v Speaker 1>they're worried about the Hall of Fame when they can't
<v Speaker 1>even fucking drop ten cents at some buildings I know.
<v Speaker 1>And Vince cuts him off and says, hey, Doc, let's
<v Speaker 1>not forget inviting everyone to join us in the garden too,
<v Speaker 1>because he's like talking more on and on for the
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame and Survivor series.
<v Speaker 2>It's like talking about the fucking show.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it says. Now he's moving on to Sid and
<v Speaker 1>they show the number to call to be part of
<v Speaker 1>some Ivor series and the twin Towers are in the
<v Speaker 1>background of the graphic for the show. Ah Sid, Jared
<v Speaker 1>cuts off with his mic. No more soft balls, he says,
<v Speaker 1>Does he say that? Oh, yeah, I got the but
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I heard that one.
<v Speaker 2>But here we go. Let's see here.
<v Speaker 5>The more softball.
<v Speaker 2>Run here on the line. Who want to your question
<v Speaker 2>to the man?
<v Speaker 5>I want to ask you a question, why you're work?
<v Speaker 2>Are you not?
<v Speaker 8>At one time, Shawn Michael's best friend, his bodyguard.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I was.
<v Speaker 2>Did you poud by him? Five times?
<v Speaker 1>On Raw?
<v Speaker 5>Of course?
<v Speaker 6>I dad, Will you do anything you can, including breaking
<v Speaker 6>his back to the cod of w W champion at
<v Speaker 6>Survivor series.
<v Speaker 2>The quest just so well, I won't do anything.
<v Speaker 6>I have to.
<v Speaker 2>Join my destiny and make my cocker. Can prove that
<v Speaker 2>I am the man.
<v Speaker 5>The world, Thank you, said go ahead, Dot, good job,
<v Speaker 5>Thanks Doc, no problem with the microphone.
<v Speaker 1>Then make my conquer, make my cocker.
<v Speaker 2>Just what you was, is I dead? I will make
<v Speaker 2>my cocker, and I will.
<v Speaker 1>Be my destiny essentially. Yes, guys out of his mind.
<v Speaker 1>He's such a fucking like what is it with him
<v Speaker 1>in life? Mike's I want to replay just the beginning
<v Speaker 1>of that, and I want you to realize how much
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like some of the exchanges we did during
<v Speaker 1>the Trial of his life.
<v Speaker 5>Okay, that's the more softball, don't no moment man questions, said.
<v Speaker 1>Rod here on Jeremy Devin, Go ahead, no go.
<v Speaker 2>I want to ask you a question.
<v Speaker 8>Why year were you not at one time Shawn Michael's
<v Speaker 8>best friend his bodyguard?
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I was.
<v Speaker 2>Did you power bomb him? Five times? On Raw? Of
<v Speaker 2>course I did?
<v Speaker 6>Well, you do anything you can, including breaking his back
<v Speaker 6>to becodor w W.
<v Speaker 5>Champion that Survivor series.
<v Speaker 1>Like Sean o'she going at somebody, Oh my god, did
<v Speaker 1>you do that?
<v Speaker 2>Yes?
<v Speaker 5>I did?
<v Speaker 3>Did you know?
<v Speaker 2>Yes? I did?
<v Speaker 1>Well, then, isn't it true, sir? Tremendous?
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't have no recollection that.
<v Speaker 1>That was a weird ass promo. Man, that's it for you.
<v Speaker 7>He was.
<v Speaker 2>He was such like it was like such a weird
<v Speaker 2>like like why he was to be so hyped up?
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe because he's high from after the match
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. But he's just weird, man, how just out
<v Speaker 2>of control he is.
<v Speaker 1>And then Vince says, we had cleared up the microphone
<v Speaker 1>problem Jare was happening right before he left. So it's
<v Speaker 1>a shame as long as it calls five power bombs
<v Speaker 1>that Sid had hit Sewn with in the past, and
<v Speaker 1>Vince that was then, and Shawn Michaels is now.
<v Speaker 2>We live in a different time, different day, different age.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Sean himself is responsible for said coming back. So
<v Speaker 1>clearly in Vince's mind, they've patched things up.
<v Speaker 2>You know, no things have happened, things will happen, and
<v Speaker 2>who knows anything can happen.
<v Speaker 1>They did want to address that history, as Jim Ross
<v Speaker 1>forcefully did there in the interview minutes away from someone
<v Speaker 1>being buried alive. Here as they show the grave of
<v Speaker 1>the spotlight, did they do the package? They go through
<v Speaker 1>the whole feud, including fully dropping the elbow and the
<v Speaker 1>very first raw appearance he made in April ninety six
<v Speaker 1>on Mankind on an Undertaker rep and then doing his
<v Speaker 1>squealing in the man hole.
<v Speaker 2>Can we grapple with the fact that this feud has
<v Speaker 2>been going on for six months at this point, God,
<v Speaker 2>it didn't feel like it. I didn't feel like this
<v Speaker 2>one dragged on. No, I did not mean it. I'll
<v Speaker 2>tell you what. For me, it dragged after this match. Fascinating.
<v Speaker 2>This is when it's hard to drag because like why
<v Speaker 2>are they fighting? I mean, I know, I know because
<v Speaker 2>because they because they buried Undertaker, and you know, even
<v Speaker 2>though he won, he gets beaten at the end. But
<v Speaker 2>it's like, I don't know, having another match after you
<v Speaker 2>after you have a buried alive match that told be it?
<v Speaker 2>How do you have another match? So? How do you
<v Speaker 2>have another fucking uh uh? You know, regular old wrestling
<v Speaker 2>match with Paul Baer and Akaye.
<v Speaker 1>I think that's why I fully struggled with the matches
<v Speaker 1>mentioned in his book. He hated that match.
<v Speaker 2>It's not good. It's not good.
<v Speaker 1>They talk about the caskets and fully trying to steal
<v Speaker 1>him in and hitting it with the steel pipe over
<v Speaker 1>and over again and tipping it over. Well, Taker was
<v Speaker 1>in one one time, but still coming out of the casket,
<v Speaker 1>and all the mind Games and the urn and the
<v Speaker 1>actual Mind Games pay per view where Taker pulls up
<v Speaker 1>Mankind down to the hole at the end of the show,
<v Speaker 1>Psychological Warfare, the Druids carrying Undertaker's body, Paul barrassing, the
<v Speaker 1>Undertaker's gone, he's passed away, the boiler room brawl, the
<v Speaker 1>King of the Ring, street fight, all this stuff, and
<v Speaker 1>it's buried alive, Mankind, I will dig your grave, as
<v Speaker 1>he shovels dirt into the camera and then Mankind in
<v Speaker 1>the rain.
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be buried alive. You won't be
<v Speaker 2>in the grave.
<v Speaker 6>No.
<v Speaker 1>No, he's talking about how it's too short for the
<v Speaker 1>Undertaker of the grave yet, and.
<v Speaker 2>And that's that.
<v Speaker 1>So they're burying. They're shoveling dirt onto the camera to
<v Speaker 1>menace each other and Vince goes ahead and says, this
<v Speaker 1>is the first ever unsanctioned match, but the World Wrestling
<v Speaker 1>Federation we're not taking official responsibility here.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here we go. This is this is weird. You
<v Speaker 2>have a weird thing like like this, non sanctioned garbage.
<v Speaker 5>And again remember this is the first ever unsunshined match
<v Speaker 5>waiting a gentleman by the World Rosslick Federation. Exactly mcname,
<v Speaker 5>What does that mean? Non san That means you have
<v Speaker 5>that means we're not saying to match your responsibility.
<v Speaker 9>We would you want to participate in the match up
<v Speaker 9>like this you said earlier, That's that way I would.
<v Speaker 5>Would you.
<v Speaker 2>Offense?
<v Speaker 1>Was ever in a buried alive match?
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I don't think so. So either wait
<v Speaker 2>was he? What was the match on?
<v Speaker 1>So that mankind of take her? And then the event
<v Speaker 1>on the head headstone and mankind comes out to the
<v Speaker 1>music we just heard with Paul Bere. Evince calls him
<v Speaker 1>the most arranged individual in the WWF. He calls Paul
<v Speaker 1>Bear bulbous. Lawler says his parents didn't let him have
<v Speaker 1>a jack o lantern. Paul, that Vince McMahon was in
<v Speaker 1>a buried alive man. I can kind of see him
<v Speaker 1>with a shovel in his hand right now in my mind.
<v Speaker 6>He was.
<v Speaker 2>It was the one where he defeated Undertaker and Caine
<v Speaker 2>buried him and that's what made back the big, the
<v Speaker 2>you know, undead Undertaker.
<v Speaker 1>So that was that was against Vince, not against Kan.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Kin was the one who buried remember that. Wow.
<v Speaker 1>So there's Vince on commentary in ninety six saying, would
<v Speaker 1>you ever.
<v Speaker 2>Be in a match like this?
<v Speaker 1>No, certainly not? And there he Isn't that amazing? I
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have guessed that one.
<v Speaker 2>We're talking seven years later. Yeah, you asked me on that.
<v Speaker 1>Night in nine ninety six when Vince says that will
<v Speaker 1>Vince ever be in a buried alive match? I would
<v Speaker 1>say absolutely not.
<v Speaker 2>Yep. Seven years later, Well it happened.
<v Speaker 1>But Lawler says Paul Beart's parents didn't love him have
<v Speaker 1>a jack a lantern. They just made Paul Bear sit
<v Speaker 1>in the window and mankind sits down in the ring
<v Speaker 1>and hugs the urn the dong. The lights go out
<v Speaker 1>and they dissolved to a shovel stuck in the dirt.
<v Speaker 1>Taker steps out with smoke behind him. No coder hat
<v Speaker 1>ready for battle. Cut to McMahon Lawler. Lawler is saying, it's.
<v Speaker 2>Is it raindy in here?
<v Speaker 1>It puts the crown over his head to cover his head,
<v Speaker 1>and of course Vince has the lamp on which I
<v Speaker 1>always loved lamp at all size. Yes, an event time
<v Speaker 1>Mankind versus the Undertaker, the very first buried alive Matt
<v Speaker 1>cheer it well buried alive in your house eleven. Taker
<v Speaker 1>gets in the ring and starts lighting up. Mankind goes
<v Speaker 1>right after him, slugging away whipt to the corner, Fully
<v Speaker 1>fires out of the corner back and Undertaker to the buckling,
<v Speaker 1>and they go right a da da dah, there's a
<v Speaker 1>there's a up to the corner. Taker goozles him and
<v Speaker 1>throws him too the corner and goes off with more
<v Speaker 1>rights and less. This is Striker Taker, by the way,
<v Speaker 1>who we first saw. I think it killed the ring
<v Speaker 1>ninety six going off with hands.
<v Speaker 2>I think we saw him actually at at WrestleMania with diesel.
<v Speaker 2>I think he did do so with hands, Yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>think he. I think he was throwing hands for a
<v Speaker 2>little bit.
<v Speaker 1>Fully hits the floor of it and says, this is
<v Speaker 1>no holds bar. To say the least here as fully
<v Speaker 1>picks the ankle, and taker kicks him off and fully
<v Speaker 1>absolutely sends himself flying, crashing head first into the railing.
<v Speaker 1>Because you know they can be buried alive. We've got
<v Speaker 1>to be dead. Of course, Fully never saw a steel rail.
<v Speaker 1>He didn't feel like he could whip his head into
<v Speaker 1>in his life. So then take her climbs and what
<v Speaker 1>the fuck, might as well planch a halfway up the
<v Speaker 1>aisleway for the first time my life and take out Mankind.
<v Speaker 2>Launches them. This is before the ground zero big dive
<v Speaker 2>that he does right right, there was no big dive yet.
<v Speaker 1>He took off though. Up the aisle they go.
<v Speaker 2>You don't see fucking you don't see uh Mark McCool
<v Speaker 2>do that every day a week? Oh definitely not off
<v Speaker 2>the top rope and whatever.
<v Speaker 1>Up the aisle. Fully stumbles at the dirt and hard
<v Speaker 1>stop and tries to turn, but take her right on
<v Speaker 1>him with the hands. Now they're up on the dirt
<v Speaker 1>and Mankind's laying on it, and take her. Grabs a
<v Speaker 1>shovel and climbs the grassy knoll. Take her grabs some
<v Speaker 1>fully japs, take her with the end of the shovel
<v Speaker 1>hooks a soup plex, but no, take her is inside,
<v Speaker 1>cradled by Mick Foley, and they both roll down the
<v Speaker 1>hill in small package format.
<v Speaker 2>Awful. I'm sorry, make that's the stupidest fucking thing ever, tremendous,
<v Speaker 2>it's so dumb.
<v Speaker 1>Fully now crawling up the aisle with take Her pursuing.
<v Speaker 1>So they teased the dirt and now they're stained with it.
<v Speaker 1>So that's kind of good. They can work. But the
<v Speaker 1>fact they have dirtle over themselves reminds you of the
<v Speaker 1>stakes of the match. Yes, take her, ops fully of
<v Speaker 1>the ringside of the right hand, Vince says. The formaldehyde
<v Speaker 1>oozes from the entertaker's pores is take a rams fully
<v Speaker 1>into the steps.
<v Speaker 2>I got I got some of that here for you.
<v Speaker 7>Come on, man, can't grab the undertaker throwing out there
<v Speaker 7>into those idiots lamps that seem to the themal hyde from.
<v Speaker 1>To fucking weird and s wanting an excuse to say
<v Speaker 1>formaldehyde right exactly.
<v Speaker 2>That seems like that's all it was. I want to
<v Speaker 2>set you up here, I want to set me up here.
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, from aldehyde, go for it, gang,
<v Speaker 2>go for it.
<v Speaker 6>Do it.
<v Speaker 1>Let us a little moles some of the terms than
<v Speaker 1>the funeral business.
<v Speaker 2>You have a list of terms here, uh, at my
<v Speaker 2>at my ready that I can do. I can you know,
<v Speaker 2>call upon if needed to bring up you know, some
<v Speaker 2>verbiage that may in fact reminisce one of the the
<v Speaker 2>funeral of occupation, right right.
<v Speaker 1>Well, put in exactly what you mean. So they show
<v Speaker 1>some goff looking girls at ringside, who Jerry Lawler and
<v Speaker 1>Salts and Vince says, a lot of creatures of the
<v Speaker 1>night here in Indy. Ah, they're just creatures of hot topic. Vince,
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't go that far back in and take her
<v Speaker 1>knocks folly out of the ring, take her grabs the
<v Speaker 1>cable and wraps it around Mankind's throat, hanging him out
<v Speaker 1>to dry there for a moment. Lawler says he hasn't
<v Speaker 1>seen this much at Choking since the Cardinals played the Braves. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>sports over the rail on the hardcam side. They interesting,
<v Speaker 1>you never see this Mankind goes over the rail that's
<v Speaker 1>underneath the hard camera.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that is kind of weird.
<v Speaker 1>They pan way back so you get like a really
<v Speaker 1>deep shot in the crowd with the ring, but not
<v Speaker 1>just the ring and frame. Also the floor in the rail.
<v Speaker 1>They brawl up the middle towards the camera, kind of
<v Speaker 1>a parting of the Red Sea as the fans get
<v Speaker 1>out of the way and then take her whips mankind
<v Speaker 1>back over the rail, which again is kind of like
<v Speaker 1>on the bottom third of your screen. Different look than
<v Speaker 1>you ever see from them. Usually that hard camera side
<v Speaker 1>is full of people that want to be ringside, but
<v Speaker 1>that they don't want to show on television, right, like
<v Speaker 1>family and friends. So then taker gets a running start
<v Speaker 1>and leaps and clears the railing with a great clothes line.
<v Speaker 2>There's your, uh, there's your your kind of precursor to the.
<v Speaker 1>The dive, Yeah, kind of yeah, clearing the railing, hitting
<v Speaker 1>a clothes line on the floor, fully squealing an impact,
<v Speaker 1>chunks missing of his hair follies rolled back in the
<v Speaker 1>ring in Vince's.
<v Speaker 2>Think about this guy, okay here, think about Mick Foley,
<v Speaker 2>all right, especially in ninety six. Yeah, where he's got
<v Speaker 2>half of his head shaved, the other half of it
<v Speaker 2>is long. He's also got chunks they shaves off, and
<v Speaker 2>he has a family, Like he goes grocery shop. See
<v Speaker 2>this is where he goes grocery shopping. This is what
<v Speaker 2>what's his wife's name?
<v Speaker 1>Collect?
<v Speaker 2>Collect Collect wake up to this every morning? Like?
<v Speaker 6>Is that?
<v Speaker 2>Okay? I don't think so. Suppose do we have a choice.
<v Speaker 2>We have a choice. Are you kidding? Me?
<v Speaker 1>Has depicted it and beyond the mat right right?
<v Speaker 2>I mean? This is this is it? This is what
<v Speaker 2>she fell in love with.
<v Speaker 6>This.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe she didn't fall in love with this, but this
<v Speaker 2>is what she gets. Amazing, truly amazing? Is it? Yes?
<v Speaker 2>It is troublesome.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, it can be both.
<v Speaker 2>It's true.
<v Speaker 1>Back and take her with the head butt, climbs up
<v Speaker 1>top for an old school Paul Bearer, the trips the
<v Speaker 1>rope up and take or takes it on the dick
<v Speaker 1>fully puts the boots Undertaker double feature. Vince says to
<v Speaker 1>watch Paul Bearer, but they don't show him tripping Undertaker
<v Speaker 1>and Kind squealing while cling Undertaker's face and the mat
<v Speaker 1>fullys on him in the corner block to the buckle.
<v Speaker 1>He goes, Taker starts firing out and an uppercut drops fully.
<v Speaker 1>Paul Bert then slips Mankind some sort of object, a tampon, perhaps,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, a shive, it's something, and says it
<v Speaker 1>some sort of an instrument of some kind. What is
<v Speaker 1>it illegal filing.
<v Speaker 2>It a toothbrush.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it is filing an instrument, we
<v Speaker 1>have these. It's an instrument of oh, you have a
<v Speaker 1>crossing on the desk. Is an instrument that executes all
<v Speaker 1>the rights herefore to discussed executes. And this is an
<v Speaker 1>instrumental in uh. This instrument is instrumental in the the
<v Speaker 1>ins and outs of the goings on of the b
<v Speaker 1>This is the this is the instrument that will transfer
<v Speaker 1>to you all rightful claim and ownership to your various marks.
<v Speaker 2>That's right.
<v Speaker 1>But it has to be an instrument. If not an instrument,
<v Speaker 1>do we have anything if not for a legal instrument.
<v Speaker 1>No way, no way, Vince says. There has to be
<v Speaker 1>some semblance of order here, otherwise it's only anarchy. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>but it's unsanctioned, so no, exactly, it's not your call.
<v Speaker 1>Rest in peace. Chant breaks out fully jamming that thing
<v Speaker 1>he had in to take he's head to the corner.
<v Speaker 1>Whip Taker a chaise off and hits a back elbow.
<v Speaker 1>Taker then has the thing. Now that the object he's
<v Speaker 1>swinging on mankind's head with it, stabbing him. Essentially, the
<v Speaker 1>whip is reversed and take her ducks in a leaping
<v Speaker 1>clothes line scores bringing down Mankind. Taker drops a leg,
<v Speaker 1>falls out of the ring and walks down Paul Bearer
<v Speaker 1>on the opposite side. Mankind fishes out a chair creeps over,
<v Speaker 1>but Taker cuts him off at the last second. Paul
<v Speaker 1>Bearrer's hit Taker with an urn now, but take her no,
<v Speaker 1>sells that. Bears wide eyed at the fact that that
<v Speaker 1>didn't hurt Undertaker, and then he takes off, and then
<v Speaker 1>Mankind absolutely kills Undertaker with a chair shot to.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's fucking It's like Shades and ninety nine right here.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he crowns him, and Taker goes down to earnest
<v Speaker 1>Keep with a razor, but he doesn't, he doesn't cut himself.
<v Speaker 1>But I swear to God, who's gonna blade there? That's
<v Speaker 1>the exact same chair shot that Sean split him open
<v Speaker 1>with before the hell in the cell?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that huge blade? Yes, was that the first time
<v Speaker 2>Undertaker ever bladed?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm thinking here, I think it was.
<v Speaker 2>Wow. I never even thought of that.
<v Speaker 1>He really killed him in that chair shot. He went
<v Speaker 1>like to ear with the slice too.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, it was bad.
<v Speaker 1>Mankind licks the chair that was dented on Taker's head
<v Speaker 1>moments ago. Brother he go on to the ring steps,
<v Speaker 1>fully charges and knees the head of Undertaker into the steps.
<v Speaker 1>Vince assures this Undertaker wouldn't want us to feel sorry
<v Speaker 1>for him, even if he is buried alive, He's likely
<v Speaker 1>to take Mankind with him. Okay, So I won't feel
<v Speaker 1>sorry for him as he's buried alive.
<v Speaker 2>Got it, I guess. I guess we shouldn't feel hard
<v Speaker 2>for him if he loses, is what you're saying.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Fighting up the aisleway up the grassy knoll and
<v Speaker 1>right hands near the hole in the graveside area, Mankind
<v Speaker 1>stomps an Undertaker into the hole, and the crowd screeches
<v Speaker 1>at the prospect. What happens now? Undertaker's in the grave,
<v Speaker 1>So Mankind grabs a shovel and gets some dirt, but
<v Speaker 1>they Taker quickly gets up and goozles him and pulls
<v Speaker 1>him into the hole as well, and starts throwing some
<v Speaker 1>right hands. Both in the hole. Now like WWF in
<v Speaker 1>so many ways, Mankind climbs out, throws a handful of
<v Speaker 1>dirt and Taker's eyes fully, then tries to hip toss
<v Speaker 1>Undertaker into the hole, but Taker blocks, it reverses and
<v Speaker 1>hip toss is fully off the grass down onto the
<v Speaker 1>mound of dirt all the way down to the floor,
<v Speaker 1>so fully going for a nasty ride.
<v Speaker 2>I'm exhausted, just kind of like thinking about like having
<v Speaker 2>to go up and down and like, yeah, because I
<v Speaker 2>think of like when I was a kid during the
<v Speaker 2>winter and how I'd love to climb up the the
<v Speaker 2>giant mounds of snow that that that the the plow
<v Speaker 2>would leave. Yes, but then like you know, once you
<v Speaker 2>if you fall down, and it's like.
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, it's so fucking dispiriting.
<v Speaker 2>Energy to have to go back up. My god.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, here's fully getting hip tossed off of it. They
<v Speaker 1>fight up the aisle again, back in fully cuts them off.
<v Speaker 1>It does the pile driver where you pull up on
<v Speaker 1>the pants instead.
<v Speaker 2>Of yeah, the what do they call it? I know
<v Speaker 2>what did they call it? To spike pile driver? Maybe
<v Speaker 2>I guess means a spike pop.
<v Speaker 1>I always thought that was the when someone else helps you.
<v Speaker 2>When yeah, when someone comes off the top rope and
<v Speaker 2>they drive you down.
<v Speaker 1>I call it the waistline pile driver. Yeah, yeah, maybe
<v Speaker 1>a waistline. That's the word I'm looking for.
<v Speaker 2>Waste time, waste time, pile driver.
<v Speaker 1>Waste time, wasted time.
<v Speaker 2>Now, what's it? What is it called?
<v Speaker 1>The waistband?
<v Speaker 2>Waistband?
<v Speaker 1>That's OK, because that's pretty much what he pulls on,
<v Speaker 1>right right? Mankind covers Habner, who can count? Apparently, No
<v Speaker 1>he can't count? Now he can't.
<v Speaker 2>It was so stupid. What do you do? How'd you
<v Speaker 2>cover him?
<v Speaker 1>You got to bury this guy, man, you gotta put
<v Speaker 1>him in the fucking hole.
<v Speaker 2>Right.
<v Speaker 1>So, in response to that reality check, mcfully rips his
<v Speaker 1>hair out of his head and tosses it into the sky.
<v Speaker 1>That's one other options than burying Undertaker to win, you
<v Speaker 1>just rip your own hair out instead.
<v Speaker 4>Uh.
<v Speaker 1>Taker starts throwing from his back now to his knees,
<v Speaker 1>loading up Mankind with punches, uppercuts, lands, and drops Mankind
<v Speaker 1>crowd with it. On the comeback, Taker hits the ropes
<v Speaker 1>and misses an elbow drop. However, fully positions a chair
<v Speaker 1>on the on the canvas double arm under hook, and
<v Speaker 1>he DDT's cactus jack style Undertaker into the chair.
<v Speaker 2>Yep. Now this match can be thinking, how do you
<v Speaker 2>think Mark Callaway would fare in a real fight?
<v Speaker 1>Terror?
<v Speaker 2>Terror? Yeah? Right, I think I think like I think
<v Speaker 2>of him coming to the aid of his of his
<v Speaker 2>of his wife. But I feel like he relies on
<v Speaker 2>his size as for intimidation. But if if, like if
<v Speaker 2>fifth started to fly, I think I think he would
<v Speaker 2>be miserable.
<v Speaker 1>I think he tripped pretty quickly. Feel like he'd be
<v Speaker 1>knock kneed, you know, kind of like like a reindeer
<v Speaker 1>on ice.
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, I feel like he would. He would make
<v Speaker 2>a mistake almost instantly.
<v Speaker 1>Over commit on a punch or something.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he just and he just ended up on
<v Speaker 2>the fucking floor getting destroyed.
<v Speaker 1>Kind of Yeah, I really that is how I think
<v Speaker 1>think about it.
<v Speaker 2>I do.
<v Speaker 1>But he watches MMA, so I guess, right, And.
<v Speaker 2>He's one of those guys I feel like is because
<v Speaker 2>of of of because he watches MMA, and because he
<v Speaker 2>the MMA loves and right, and because he he like
<v Speaker 2>you know, was portray Rad is tough that he thinks
<v Speaker 2>he's tough, but he'd really get his ass.
<v Speaker 1>Kicked right taping his fist at wrestling forty fucking torn up? Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>has he ever consummated or is it always just taping
<v Speaker 1>your fists?
<v Speaker 2>Right?
<v Speaker 1>And it always seems like you know, symbol is Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's trying to play John Wayne is what he's doing. Yeah, cool,
<v Speaker 2>he's trying to be a tough guy. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Exactly after the DDT fully starts hugging the iurn, rocks
<v Speaker 1>back and forth and says it's okay. Paul Bart screams,
<v Speaker 1>tonight he'll die.
<v Speaker 5>Oh, yes, he'll die.
<v Speaker 6>Die.
<v Speaker 1>Taker sits up, kick to the gun, cracks a chair
<v Speaker 1>across the back of Mankind and then what did he do?
<v Speaker 1>He puts a chair on mcfoley's face, and he gets
<v Speaker 1>up in the sky and he rains a leg dropped
<v Speaker 1>down out of the chair. Yes, he does, crushing Mankind's face.
<v Speaker 1>Paul Bert a great cut to him. He goes, oh no,
<v Speaker 1>with his eyes closed like he knows that's it. Uh lawla,
<v Speaker 1>with a great call. That had to break his back,
<v Speaker 1>that had to break his skull fully to the apron,
<v Speaker 1>Taker pursues, but fully stuns him on the top rope.
<v Speaker 1>He's still in this thing and says, that's what they're
<v Speaker 1>doing to each other in your house. He literally finds
<v Speaker 1>a way to tuck that in now of all moments.
<v Speaker 2>He's been waiting for that for all night long.
<v Speaker 1>The mats are pulled aside at ringside fully tries to
<v Speaker 1>pile drive Taker out of the concrete, but Taker lifts
<v Speaker 1>fully like an Alabama slam position, but then just walks
<v Speaker 1>him backward and just jumps into the steps with fully
<v Speaker 1>hanging upside down, his head inches from the ground. What
<v Speaker 1>the fuck he could have he could have gotten fucking
<v Speaker 1>crazy spot. I don't know what they were thinking there.
<v Speaker 1>Takers then throwing steps in the ring. Both are in there.
<v Speaker 1>Taker picks them up and runs him into Folly's head.
<v Speaker 1>He picks them up again. Whay, I'm across Foley's back back.
<v Speaker 1>When they cared enough by the way to spray pink
<v Speaker 1>the steps, Blue crowds with it up tombstone against the
<v Speaker 1>ropes an he plants mankind head first with the tombstone.
<v Speaker 1>He looks to the grave now and points with the
<v Speaker 1>purple glove because he's got to bury him to win
<v Speaker 1>this one.
<v Speaker 2>It is amazing. You know, before before Folly, I've been
<v Speaker 2>trying to think of a of a match that may
<v Speaker 2>be considered a good match, like like a great match
<v Speaker 2>Undertaker had no didn't happen. He didn't really happen, No,
<v Speaker 2>not at all.
<v Speaker 1>They never they didn't put him against good workers that
<v Speaker 1>just wasn't the force, right, I mean he got I mean,
<v Speaker 1>on the spectrum of Yoko matches, he got some of
<v Speaker 1>the better ones out of Yoko, but that doesn't count
<v Speaker 1>for much.
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm sure there was a Brett match. I mean.
<v Speaker 1>It's not really not yet. The ninety six Brett match
<v Speaker 1>at brow Rumble was pretty good. But yeah, he didn't
<v Speaker 1>really have those kind of matches.
<v Speaker 2>No, he didn't, he didn't. I mean, also he didn't
<v Speaker 2>up until ninety six. He didn't really have the style, right,
<v Speaker 2>like right, he developed the style in ninety six, especially
<v Speaker 2>with when he loses Paul beher like it. It definitely
<v Speaker 2>took take a takes a jump.
<v Speaker 1>It's a great question what is Undertaker's best match before
<v Speaker 1>the few man cond feud? And most people have no
<v Speaker 1>fucking idea how to answer that question.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean you'd you kind of put Yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>don't even I remember that Brett.
<v Speaker 1>Match I mentioned being so unnatural and so strange. Yes, yes,
<v Speaker 1>like Undertaker should not be contending for the world title,
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't be trying to counteract Brett's technical moves.
<v Speaker 2>If it didn't bother me actually as much, because I
<v Speaker 2>I was for that. I was fine.
<v Speaker 1>I always want him to win the world title again.
<v Speaker 1>She felt it being rumble. It's like, we know he's
<v Speaker 1>not going to win it. It's like, what are they
<v Speaker 1>Why is Undertaker getting a title shot in this context
<v Speaker 1>of all contexts right now? And it was to set
<v Speaker 1>up the diesel matches, we know, but I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I felt like it was strange for Undertaker to finally
<v Speaker 1>go for the belt and this on this show against
<v Speaker 1>this appointment, with everything else. It was clear they were
<v Speaker 1>building Sean coming up. It should be a big deal
<v Speaker 1>that Undertakers going for the belt, and it's like that
<v Speaker 1>just happened. It just came and went, and no one
<v Speaker 1>cared that tak her for the first time, like in
<v Speaker 1>since Hogan to challenge for the world title. Okay, no, no, yeah, Gyoko's.
<v Speaker 2>Champ yeah ninety four us Yeah, yeah, that was probably
<v Speaker 2>the last time he Yeah, I think that was the
<v Speaker 2>last time he really went for the title.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, before that, Lawler says, they actually want to see
<v Speaker 1>mankind get put in the ground. Yes, they've been telling
<v Speaker 1>you that.
<v Speaker 2>For all night. That's also what they've been fucking promoting,
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's what they've been hyping.
<v Speaker 1>Up the Taker puts Mankind on his shoulders or throws
<v Speaker 1>him over his shoulder and walks him up the aisle.
<v Speaker 1>He deposits Mankind in the grass like Forrest Gump does
<v Speaker 1>Bubba and Vietnam.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he totally does.
<v Speaker 1>And Kin then suddenly comes alive, though with a minible claw.
<v Speaker 2>I got I got, Bob got it.
<v Speaker 1>And Kind suddenly comes alive though with a madible claw
<v Speaker 1>and brings take her down into the black hole. And
<v Speaker 1>Bear gives Mankind the urn and take her gooseles as
<v Speaker 1>he rises, and here we go, Mankind choke slammed off
<v Speaker 1>that he didn't go to the hole yet. He choke
<v Speaker 1>slams him off the side into the hole.
<v Speaker 2>He tried to manib hole. He tried to get him
<v Speaker 2>into the you know he's trying to I think he
<v Speaker 2>was trying to mandible mandible claw him into the fucking.
<v Speaker 1>Hole, right into a state of immobility. Then said taker
<v Speaker 1>comes alive and chow slams his ass into the hole.
<v Speaker 1>There's some shifting around as Fully gets into position, presuming
<v Speaker 1>to get that oxygen tank we talked about in part
<v Speaker 1>one and place his body where it's supposed to so
<v Speaker 1>he can slide out of trouble if the dirt gets
<v Speaker 1>too high and Taker starts loading up with dirt shovel
<v Speaker 1>by shovel, and you can only see mankind's legs. So
<v Speaker 1>at first I thought the trick was that the real
<v Speaker 1>mankind rolled out and they put a dummy in his place.
<v Speaker 1>But right hearing him talk about it verbally, I don't
<v Speaker 1>think that's what they did.
<v Speaker 2>It's funny, you know, if you're gonna put yourself in
<v Speaker 2>a situation, you don't really need a dummy in your place.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, certainly not.
<v Speaker 2>You are a fucking dummy.
<v Speaker 1>But they are scooping at his fast. He is scooping
<v Speaker 1>it as fast as he can as undertaker, bit after bit,
<v Speaker 1>And I'm thinking to myself, so when is he deficially
<v Speaker 1>declared buried alive?
<v Speaker 2>Like runs enough dirt like exactly, I mean to me,
<v Speaker 2>if you get me very alive, it's got to be
<v Speaker 2>six feet.
<v Speaker 1>I think they should have done that. They should have
<v Speaker 1>put a little marker on the grave or something like.
<v Speaker 1>Once the dirt gets to this height, it's over, because
<v Speaker 1>it really was anti clime. Once you realize it starts happening,
<v Speaker 1>you're like, wait a minute, like, why isn't it over.
<v Speaker 1>He put dirt on him, like one's going to be enough,
<v Speaker 1>Like it's going to be an arbitrary call. So it's
<v Speaker 1>shovel after shovel, and the official finally declares him the winner.
<v Speaker 1>Where you can still see Mankind's body in the dirt,
<v Speaker 1>but the bell sounds nonetheless, the music hits, and it
<v Speaker 1>brings an end to the contest. In eighteen minutes and
<v Speaker 1>twenty five seconds, the Undertaker defeeds Mankind and the Buried
<v Speaker 1>Alive match here at in your House eleven Buried Alive
<v Speaker 1>and it's dark and we can only see the leg
<v Speaker 1>that he's loaded in. Because Taker doesn't want to stop,
<v Speaker 1>he keeps shoveling. Yeah, exactly, and Undertaker pie faces the
<v Speaker 1>referee jack Down, who soars down the mount of dirt.
<v Speaker 2>Oh he does. He takes a fucking bump and a hand.
<v Speaker 1>Like Kyota does it too. And since Mankind is not
<v Speaker 1>moving and no one is stopping the Undertaker and from
<v Speaker 1>behind suddenly crack, a bronze shovel is smacked over Undertaker's
<v Speaker 1>head and broken in half. It is the executioner making
<v Speaker 1>his on screen debut. Oh shit, there he is not
<v Speaker 1>that executioner, by the way, there have been many the
<v Speaker 1>excellence of Executioner.
<v Speaker 2>That's true, excellent and uh fucking what a what a
<v Speaker 2>shit show.
<v Speaker 1>So then he starts scraping the dirt off of Nick
<v Speaker 1>Foley does the executioner, and they're digging them out, and
<v Speaker 1>the heels suddenly get all involved, and Executioner pushes takers dirt,
<v Speaker 1>push them into the dirt face first, and they start
<v Speaker 1>pushing down like a cat or a dog, kicking up
<v Speaker 1>soil with their back to the hole, just you know,
<v Speaker 1>with the homes out there in a litter box, pushing
<v Speaker 1>the soil.
<v Speaker 2>In so fucking I mean, I know they needed to
<v Speaker 2>do it because they needed to get but it's like
<v Speaker 2>it's one of those weird it's like, you know, it's
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's the same thing as as it reminds me,
<v Speaker 2>I should say, as much as like the casket matches
<v Speaker 2>with you know where where they all come out and
<v Speaker 2>you know, don't really do much and they kind of
<v Speaker 2>just kind of walk around and like take their shots
<v Speaker 2>as they can and but don't actually fully gang up
<v Speaker 2>on him. It's unaffiliated heels like right, they just kind
<v Speaker 2>of wander around like goofs totally.
<v Speaker 1>So the lights go out and there's like a strobe
<v Speaker 1>effect that they play in the building, so you can't
<v Speaker 1>quite see that Undertaker's body is, you know, not completely
<v Speaker 1>submerged in dirt. Scoop after Scoop all three, Paul Barrow,
<v Speaker 1>Mankind and executioner Turry Gordy, you're working hard here, and
<v Speaker 1>then they cut and it's in Suddenly when they cut back,
<v Speaker 1>it's entirely covered in dirt. So I think there may
<v Speaker 1>have been some hocus pocus there, yeah, because I think
<v Speaker 1>the strobe light was intended to distract from the switch
<v Speaker 1>out where Undertaker's body was put into a position that
<v Speaker 1>he was no longer being covered in dirt, right, and
<v Speaker 1>he was in fact, like almost underground or in like
<v Speaker 1>a a segmented lower sort of basement level of the
<v Speaker 1>of the whole h. So then gold Dust is out
<v Speaker 1>there and justin HoTT Bradshaw, I'd love to see kind
<v Speaker 1>of the the inners just yeah, you know, like what
<v Speaker 1>the fuck was going on builting Underworld. To hear Mankind
<v Speaker 1>tell it, everybody wants to bury Undertaker, especially Triple H.
<v Speaker 1>So he's out there scoop for Scoop and that gets
<v Speaker 1>Vader's attention time standing still as they do this. By
<v Speaker 1>the way, Paul Bear.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, the Undertaker is gone forever.
<v Speaker 1>While these guys are just hostling like a fucking like
<v Speaker 1>they're building the Transnational Railroad, you know, and then fucking
<v Speaker 1>and then a big old cup of a paper cup
<v Speaker 1>of coke lands in the grave hoole, the ice and everything.
<v Speaker 1>Someone fucking landed. Someone landed. Reggie Miller must go to
<v Speaker 1>the crowd. Whoever is that is that that that that
<v Speaker 1>person is a legend. Imagine that you go home and
<v Speaker 1>watch this and that's your coke cup that you threw
<v Speaker 1>in there. Got to be fun. I'm surprised that person
<v Speaker 1>isn't known. Vinn says, this is totally gotten out of hand.
<v Speaker 1>And uh, they're scooping dirt on top of the cup
<v Speaker 1>as well, and they're hovering forever over the hole. Then
<v Speaker 1>they pan out for his vigiets on the tombstone. Lawler says,
<v Speaker 1>he's buried alive. Mcmahony's not coming back. He's got to
<v Speaker 1>be crushed just under the weight of that much dirt.
<v Speaker 1>Man kind of standing on the dirt, scooping it and
<v Speaker 1>distributing it evenly as best he can, and the boys
<v Speaker 1>are blown up from shoveling, and Terry Gordy, of course,
<v Speaker 1>is useless trying to shovel anything totally useful, even brushed
<v Speaker 1>his teeth. This guy's gonna fucking fill a gray full
<v Speaker 1>water bottle, I think. Also in the mix here a
<v Speaker 1>coke can. This is before Reaen has figured out that
<v Speaker 1>you you always take the lids off of things because
<v Speaker 1>if you don't, or if you don't force open the cans,
<v Speaker 1>they are going to become projectiles. And says, I know
<v Speaker 1>it's insane to say, but I still have hope that
<v Speaker 1>something's going to happen here. Somehow, Lawler cackles he's not
<v Speaker 1>coming up, and they start talking about this Arrivors series.
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, just start nugging about it because he's dead.
<v Speaker 2>So that's that's the kind of move on this is,
<v Speaker 2>they they Yeah, it's just it's kind of weird, like, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>they they kind of start just moving on from it,
<v Speaker 2>and then essentially you're watching somebody die.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but they get a tuck in a pay per
<v Speaker 1>view blood for the next show, and then the thunder
<v Speaker 1>sounds and they'll look up and take off because they're
<v Speaker 1>spooked out by that. And mankind and executioner Paul be
<v Speaker 1>are still working though on scooping the gray.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they don't. They don't rely fucking care. They ignore that.
<v Speaker 2>But here I got, I got this a little kind
<v Speaker 2>of because it's just it's just weird to hear Vince
<v Speaker 2>mick Man just kind of like go from being concerned
<v Speaker 2>individual to just like, I really hope you enjoyed watching
<v Speaker 2>Very Alive. You know, just listen, weird.
<v Speaker 7>Go ahead, start talking about Survivors series, because this one's over.
<v Speaker 2>The Undertaker not survive.
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I feel something there, Paul Barr, mankind.
<v Speaker 5>And whoever that is. I was looking man Cox standing
<v Speaker 5>in the grain, man man kink jamming, get shut motown
<v Speaker 5>into the turk.
<v Speaker 7>Look At how much dirt was piled on top of
<v Speaker 7>the Undertaker's body.
<v Speaker 5>I certainly hope you've enjoyed in your house Very.
<v Speaker 7>I can tell you somebody that didn't enjoy it. The Undertaker,
<v Speaker 7>how could he possibly ever rest in peace? We invite
<v Speaker 7>you to join us, secrete gentlemen, that he dug for himself.
<v Speaker 2>Someone has just dyed.
<v Speaker 1>What essentially, and we invite you to join us of
<v Speaker 1>over seventeenth Wow, worry.
<v Speaker 5>On the pack.
<v Speaker 2>So fun is he talking about you were about resting bees, like,
<v Speaker 2>is that a good thing? You're right, I don't understand.
<v Speaker 2>So we don't want him to rest in bees? I
<v Speaker 2>guess not. I guess not.
<v Speaker 1>That right, there is the final time you see Undertaker's
<v Speaker 1>purple glove.
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much, I thank Christ. It's it's so bizarre,
<v Speaker 2>it is, it's it's so bad.
<v Speaker 1>Paul Bearer and uh the executioner walk off the set
<v Speaker 1>into a obscure Jack's three pack. The urn is just
<v Speaker 1>left hanging around like a piece of ship. It was
<v Speaker 1>all about the urn, right, and how sacral just it
<v Speaker 1>was that Paul Bear hit him with it at Summer
<v Speaker 1>Slam and I was just sitting around. I didn't have
<v Speaker 1>any powers anymore.
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't fucking matter anymore, you know, just a complete joke.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you heard the sound there as they they
<v Speaker 1>invested in the effect of the lightning firing from the ceiling. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>crashing and smoking into the into the grave and there's
<v Speaker 1>the hand and there's buried alive. Yeap, what awaits us?
<v Speaker 1>Boss on the other side, Let's see what we got here?
<v Speaker 1>Join us November seventeenth for yeah right, uh.
<v Speaker 2>Well so nervous, Oh wow, Okay, wow, shit, well it's
<v Speaker 2>November all right, I'll say that uh wc W World
<v Speaker 2>four three, nineteen ninety six. Wow, that's a big one.
<v Speaker 2>Is that fucking crazy? But also, just like a month
<v Speaker 2>after the the show, you.
<v Speaker 1>Might you have to reshuffle that deck man you got
<v Speaker 1>the ninety six is too close together.
<v Speaker 2>I know, I mean I've shaken up before we go.
<v Speaker 2>That's really strange, crazy, that's fucking strange. Right.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, we're keeping a nineteen ninety six around here and
<v Speaker 1>celebration of ten years of lapsed and we thank you
<v Speaker 1>for joining us this week again. Keep it lock to
<v Speaker 1>our ex account as TLFX games the King of the

<v Speaker 1>Hey it's Jack. With a quick programming update. Following the
<v Speaker 1>recording of this episode, we learned of the untimely passing
<v Speaker 1>of Sid, You psycho, Sid said, Justice said Vicious on
<v Speaker 1>August twenty sixth, at the age of sixty three. And
<v Speaker 1>so in recognition of that, we are actually not going
<v Speaker 1>to do World War three nineteen ninety six is our
<v Speaker 1>next episode that will come two episodes from now. But
<v Speaker 1>in fact, the next episode of TLF will be dedicated
<v Speaker 1>to Sid and it will be built around the night
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen ninety seven February seventeenth, nineteen ninety seven episode
<v Speaker 1>of Monday Night Raw where Sid won his second WWF championship,
<v Speaker 1>pretty much the only key match in his career that
<v Speaker 1>we haven't touched on in ten years of TLF thus far,
<v Speaker 1>and of course a man or knight for him winning
<v Speaker 1>the championship from a Brett Hart who had just won
<v Speaker 1>the title the night prior at the Fatal four Way
<v Speaker 1>pay per view. And so look at Sid in that
<v Speaker 1>time period that serendipitously picks up right around Burial Alive
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety six through to his title win in Sunrivor
<v Speaker 1>Series and then of course winning a second championship in February.
<v Speaker 1>So we do hope he will join us, as I
<v Speaker 1>know you will as TF does what needs to be
<v Speaker 1>done to pay tribute to said
