Revisiting TNA Impact Wrestling 2013 Brooke Hogan Bully Ray Wedding, Taz Joins Aces & Eights Faction, Brian Cage Gut Check Fiasco, World Cha

DEADLOCK: A Pro Wrestling Podcast

We are gathered here today to witness the union of Brooke Hogan and Bully Ray. Hulk Hogan doesn’t approve of them getting married, as he doesn’t trust Bully Ray. However, Bully wants to make Brooke happy and has Sting try to talk some sense into Hulk. Eventually the ceremony happens and Hulk Hogan indeed does walk his daughter down the aisle. Just as they were going to tie the knot, Taz objects and says “Is it friggin’ hot in here or is it just me?!” Taz is now a member of Aces & Eights! Chaos ensues as Impact goes off the air. Also on this episode, The TNA World Champion Jeff Hardy teams with James Storm to take on Bad Influence. Plus, this is the infamous Brian Cage Jay Bradley Gut Check, where they decide not to give Brain Cage a TNA contract. Velvet Sky battles Gail Kim and Kenny King fights Christian York. Last, the boys talk about DPW You Already Know, WWE 2K23 and the Community Day trip!

So we obviously so we I flew to North Carolina as the Tony on.
I flew on the Thursday before Tony flew on the Friday. Um. Then
we were all flying out Monday, morning. Yes, what was it five
am, Tony, five thirty? I think yeah for the Uber right,
yeah, I think it's five thirty. They picked us up. Sure,
yeah, we got ab Uber with this lady. Who Holy we had had
a string of Uber rides that are the most ridiculous. I think the last
time, last four times been at Uber with Johnny. It's been the crazies
experience of my life. You're right, because I don't know. Maybe my
I have a good rating so I don't get the shitters, but you know
whatever. No, so it's a very old lady. It's nice enough lady.
But she she was nice and I Tony will attest to this. I
love talking to Uber drivers because they all got some fucked up stories, so
I fuck up stories. So she's like, I was like, oh,
you know, tell me some bullshit what I yeah, daha. So she's
telling us like her last couple run she got like a one star because like
she was driving slow. We're like going to the airport. It's five thirty
in the morning, we have to be there at six. She's talking about
driving slow. I said, oh, fucking hurry up, dude, you
got a car driving there's fog, like you can't even see anything. There's
likeg ever, she's driving like so slow. She's driving slow. But we
gave ourselves like extra time too that we left early. Yeah, but whatever,
I'll take it. We were still fine. We're tsa pre checked out,
so we're good. There's a intersection, not intersection, but there's like
a cross median immediant thing, yeah, immedian sorry, yes, and there's
there's just a car there and this lady almost doesn't fucking see it almost annihilates
this fucking dude. And then she's like, well, I didn't see him.
And then she calls the cops, like she just calls him, like
not the non emergency never, just straight up as we're stalled out on the
fucking given calls the cops. I'm like, all right whatever. She then
tells us a story of one guy that got into her car, like she
had a drunk guy in the backseat and a drunk guy in the front seat.
Front seat guy wasn't even a part of the ride, and she didn't
realize that until very late into the ride. This dude got into the car,
looks over this very old later and says, I'm horny, and then
she pulls a knife on him, like I'm like, wow, that's fucking
awesome. She shouldn't drop off. So we get to the airport finally and
Tony Tony gets his canteen confiscated because he was trying to smuggle an ounce of
water, like there hasn't been like two drops of not even enough for me
to notice that there was water in the water bottle. He couldn't feel it
or no, there's no way. And then it shows up like this little
red thing on the scan like, oh, we gotta take your water bottle.
And I said, well, can I just dump it out? And
they go, no, you gotta walk all the way back through TSA.
And by that time we had the low super Driver. We were already running.
We're late, yeah, we were late. Yeah. So so we're
going from North Carolina after having just ran a wrestling show to Orlando, Florida
to play two K twenty three, which I guess we can also talk about
because imagine this comes out around him bar good times or whatever. Um.
So we get on Orlando, Tony and I are fucking hungry. We are
hungry. Uh and uh we go to we walked, oh, we asked
homeboy outside the hotel. He's like, oh, is there any like brunch
spots around here, because it's like, was it like eleven now, Tony,
yeah, it was, Yeah, it was ten thirty maybe because brunch
wasn't open to that place, was sure. Yeah. Yeah. So he
sends us to this place and it's closed. Little did we know, James,
the place that we walked to from the hotel to go to this place
is the place that the event was held out the next day. We had
no fun. Yeah, like the fuck. So we go to this like
little diner spot. We get a bunch of brunch bullshit, we get milkshakes.
We're playing UNO. James introduced us to mobile unos, so we start.
It's pretty much better than the desktop version. I don't understially is they
gotta figure that out, like just put the guy damn mobile game on the
PC team. So we do that, blah blah blah, and then we're
always obviously meeting up with everybody. Everyone's fucking coming in. Tony and I
are like the first people there, Like, no one else is there except
us and Stacks. Stacks is also there. These is there super early uh
and Luge is there. Luge was there like three days before. That's crazy.
Yeah, going to Universal and ship or Disney Disney, damn, wish
we could done that ship. I fucking wish we could do. We should
have instead of doing what we did. Goddamn. Yeah, you're right all
right. Anyway, So we go to haul Cogin's Beach shop and it is
without a doubt more ball looking than I could have ever imagined store I could
ever walk in is insane. I'm right now, James, right now,
or you're at the airport, Yeah you're you're Yeah, you're drinking beers.
Yes, there's yes, So we're a ball like your central. There's a
fucking ring and it's a ten by ten with real ropes James rope ropes.
Yeah, well that's the only place that managed. That's what Tony said.
There's a Jimmy Hart like like where where, dude, there's a Jimmy Hart
like, uh, what would you call that, Tony? Like wax figure
kind of thing, kind like Jimmy Hart. Uh. Like, there's a
Rick Flair title, there's a whole Cogan ring. There's a thunder lips like
wax thing that looks like he pissed his pants, which is very strange.
I don't know why that was. Uh, tons of title belts. You
can also get uh titles like there's like an NXT title for some reason and
like WWF titles. But then there's also like two times marked up bloodline shirts
and stone colds. Yeah, and there's a bunch of matels. Yeah,
you're it's tourist trap tourstrap for sure. It's like, uh, there's like
elites and like ringside collectible Hogans and shit like that. Um, a bunch
of fucking stuff there and so uh, one of the guys, it might
have been the UK guy. He asked like about going into the ring,
and guy was like, ah, you know it's usually chart you know you
going there are twenty bucks and you will give you a value. You could
take pictures and you can pin each other. We usually we used to let
people run the ropes. But then something happened. I said what I said,
what happened? And he said, ah, you know it was,
it's so crazy. I don't really want to talk about it anyway, what
happened? He goes on story, this dude fucking hit the ropes and like,
fucking I I don't obviously didn't know how to hit the rope, so
he probably necked himself on it and he smashes his fucking head on the floor
and busts his whole dome open. So they stopped letting people run the ropes
there, but you can do everything go on there, pin each other.
So they he did that. I was nowhere near that fucking shirt. Give
me the did you yeah help him out? And yeah? So biggest ball
liquor store of all time? Uh, nothing really worth anything in that fucking
store. Like I was like, maybe they have something cool, like,
you know, like they had like a there was like one Hogan in Japan
shirt. I was like, cool variant T shirt that was kind of cool
to us up crazy, this is like I was like, why doesn't Stone
Cold have a store like this? That'd be fucking awesome or something like that,
you know, like anybody else the Rock the Rock store, that could
be awesome. Okay, So at the Hogan store, they were like desperately
trying to get rid of these fucking they had like these generic key chains,
which I to funny enough, I found the same exact key chains when I
was looking for like bullshit when I was leaving Orlando, like to get my
parents in deb so like the same. They were like the same one.
Just say Hogan's beach up, just Hogan, right exactly. Yeah, okay,
So there was these key chains that was like, hey, if you
uh if if you can uh if you want to get one of these for
like someone you know or yourself and like get your name on it or anyone's
name on it, you can do that. You just gotta. He's like,
I'm not checking ideas either, so he just just wants to get rid
of these fucking yeah. He said, if you find the name, you
can have it for free. So then we all look through and found stuff.
I actually found one for Christina, which was kind of cool. Oh
yeah you did, that's right, Yeah, I found Yeah, I found
one for my mom. My mom was like what the fuck is uh?
So yeah, so we go from there. Uh and then this is when
James is landing. So we tell James to meet us at the Flatbacks Training
School because mister Christenker was with us and he wanted to go visit the school
that he trains out. So we're like, hi, we'll tag along,
and we uh Breeze and Spears know us, so we wouldn't said hello and
sat in on class and very fucking cool dudes. Uh, fucking cool school.
I'd like their setup there. Yeah, it was a sweet little setup.
It's like, yeah, it's a big building for like like training.
I thought it was pretty cool. Yeah really yeah, Yeah. Breeze and
Spears are super fucking cool dude. So that was cool to get to meet
up with them. So Tony, blame me for all of it. We
can blame for this was your idea. Actually was a great idea. I
will take credit for it. It did work out great, but your directions
were hard. Well I will tell that it's his fault because he's mister direction.
Yea, And yeah, you're right, you know what we should really
should blame what you went. I blaming Macho. Yeah, man, great,
okay, just make you want to go to the bar always. So
we go to this fucking cool little spot after trying to figure out what we're
going. It's me, Tony James Macho masted On. Oh, Masson,
I wasn't out the story. The Massedon came with us for this. Uh,
and the two two K guys the Next Maker stuff two K like they

they were awesome. That was a were fucking awesome. They were brothered out
and we were just having a good time. Fucking uh. I don't know
if they wanted to, I won't name them so just in case. But
one dude was like talking about like fucking hood slam and shit. I was
like, oh shit, like big seampunk guy just talking about a ton of
bullshit and all. It was like super fucking cool times, like the first
time we really got to sit down with anyone like from two K like that
and like forever, and it was like really fucking cool. They felt like
they felt like one of the crew at that though. It was kind of
cool. They were just like yeah. They were just like saying, hey,
like this is why this show. I'm like, yeah, fucking makes
sense, brom brother. We do not care about reason. We just don't

time. Um. So we go from there back to the hotel. Of
course, the fucked up crew of Me, Tony, Macho, and James
go to James's room. Uh no, I think Masson I went to his
room and was yelling at us from him room, and uh, in James
room, we're all fucking doing more bullshit, just just fucking It's like if
James I was I'm really what I want to say is I'm so happy James
got to fucking come on this because it is so much more fun when James
is around. Man, it is so funny. I don't just James.
James didn't have to do anything, but like James being around makes everyone like
way more comfortable. I don't know why, but it just is like James

it's two K twenty two. Um, you know, obviously there's some stuff
added. I don't know if I don't know what parts we can talk about
because there's like a release schedule, so I don't I don't know how much
we can talk about. We can talk about the Royal Rumble part you talk
about, yeah, because that's all I did. All I did this game
play. I didn't do fucking anything else. So they did it. They
added a thing here. Fu. I wish I knew this guy's name because
he was fucking giving me the word the whole time of like new ship to
check out. I was like, Oh, this guy's awesome. The Royal
Rumble. Now, if you have like tag teams in a rumble, they'll
like work together now, yeah, which is awesome. I was like,
Oh, this shit, this is like fucking cool. So we were doing
a bunch of shit with that. Um I didn't fuck around you like I
did a GM thing with Tony at the very end, which Tony, imagine

Uh, A lot of fun with the boys. We had fun match too.
We had a couple of matches. Yeah. Yeah, there's some cool
stuff that's gonna come out of this um no. I mean, you know,
you get to hang out everybody, getting talkt to people. I don't
get talk to you very much like an Element Elements Like, yeah, I
dude, Elements awesome him. I can't remember what year it was, like
twenty eighteen or something. I became pretty good friends an Element. Yeah,
and I just getting to see him again. You know, his life's changed
a lot since the last time I saw him. And super cool guy.
And uh, you know, he makes some really interesting videos watch stuff.
You know, he's a pretty creative guy. Dude, he is a crazy
sum bitch. We were telling him about videos we liked of his and he
didn't even remember he did, which I thought was insane because they are integral
parts of our conversations. Yeah. Yeah. There was one guy that I
was in my match that I was like, I never heard of, I
never, but like we were like, he was funny as fuck. Uncaged
games. Have you guys heard have you seen this? Uncaged games? I
think he does like a lot of like Moral Kombat shit, okay, and
like fighting game stuff. So he was, uh, he went like,
I guess he was invited because he does like shit like that. Um,
super fucking cool. Dude, though, I was like, well, this
guy's awesome. I'm like, I don't know anyone else that I talked to
him. I think I went up and I was like, who the fuck
are you. I was like, you're cool as hell. He was tell
me about his chine. I was like, oh, dud, yeah,
I see his video on his channel. He did like the he did a
video on the community davelog and yeah, talking that guy that's crazy on Cage
Games shouts out to him. I don't know if any of you are fans
of him. He's fucking cool. Fu Luge is always. Luge is always
like the mother of the group, always trying to keep us out of trouble.
Every time you say out. You give her so much. You're always
like hey, You're always like, come hang out with me, and she's
like, She's like, shut the fuck up. I ruined a roal rumble
block my purposely swearing from a dude. She was live streaming while you were
swearing. She was streaming. Yeah, anyone else ms, please forget it.
Oh Dante, post that video. Dante, you know what we're talking
about, and you better post that video. If you one week to post
the video, we're talking about it on the podcast, or we're talking about
it on the show. You figure the out. Yeah, We're at the
event for like fucking a million hour hours. Uh, and then we are
told we are going to n XT, like you know, we there was
a half plan that we were going to go to Universal instead, and really
this is Macho's fault that I think it was real. Yeah. Yeah,
So he he would not stop talking about Axiom and he was like, I
gotta see Axiom live. I gotta see Axium. Guy. I didn't,
I he but he know he made a believer. I didn't know me and
then I had to see this guy in person. So we go to n
XT. Love it. Well. We get off this bus and I want
to apologize to anybody because there was a line of people trying to get in
and then this just big bus of assholes fucking files out and they all definitely
hated us, And I'm sorry, it's not I didn't fucking I listen,
you guys can go ahead. In fact, you can all have the seats.
I actually don't want to be here. I didn't want to, dude,
They didn't. They were they were very upset that we were cutting in
line. As they should be, because who the fuck are we were?
I mean I would have been pissed. I would I would have been tweeting
mad crazy about this. Jay Bradley O MXT is very weird. Now I
don't it's when I watch it on TV. It is nothing like what I
saw him. No, it's like bizarre. When you walk in there,
it's crazy. Yeah, it is uber produced like everything, Like I actually
am not even sure. Like the fans that are there, if you told
me they were like paid audience, I would believe you because they like it
feels like a studio show, Like I feel like there should be a big
applause studio show. Yeah, I guess it is. Yeah, I guess
you're right. But like I just didn't know. I didn't know because it
like now that I know that, I'm like, this is like all inauthentic.
I don't even know who's over here. I don't know what's going on.
Like the same fans come every show, Like they come and sit in
their sections. They have like same like I chase you section like that just
comes every show. We're in the same show. There's one guy that won't
shut the fuck up in the front row trying to get his shitty. God
damn, this guy sucked fuck him and like, uh, they're playing like
every fucking fall Out Boys song possible, Sean Michael's playlist style happening. Yeah,
the laylist going nuts. Yeah, I said, what is going on?
Yeah, I you know, we sat down and you know, I'm
looking across at all the seats or whatever, how many thinking how many seats
you think this place holds? In my mind it was two fifty Yeah,
I'd say two fifty three. Maybe I don't know. And I mean,
like, you know, and it is a studio show, and they and
like whatever you see on TV sometimes isn't exactly what happened in the in the
venue. You just showed me. What was it? You just showed me
Tiffany Stratton's promo DAVIDY Stratton. She got a promo and in the video James
shows me she's getting booed big time. It was definitely more like sent even
more than yeah yeah she got Ja Worthy behind her. Yeah yeah, I
was like what you can see in the video too, she's getting clapper behind
It just gets here. Yeah, they there's a there's a stage hand during
the whole show, like throwing his arms up and clapping exactly. Yes.
I was like, wow, I didn't fucking know. I mean maybe that's
just for I just didn't know. Um. And then there's like the way
they pace it is very off putting to a live or at least for me,
because they would like do an entrance. It's just obviously very TV,
which I cletely understand, but it's like entrance. And then I got to
watch a commercial about cricket wireless on the fucking screen while the person stands in
the ring and like they had the out of Morris stand there for like five
or six straight minutes. Ever standing there, You think that they would like
letter your entrance and then uh, they'd be on TV, you know,
Like I don't know. It was a weird way. The weird way they
do it. They like have she does her entrance and then she stands there
in darkness for five minutes and then yeah, there is super crazy produce.
It was interesting to watch, like as a people like as we run the
promotion to watch like, okay, so they only have cameraman at two turn
vocals and they stay there the whole time, and then like and the cap
and the photographers are always at their hip if no matter what, photographer is
the runner for the merch too, Like if somebody's shirt like their jacket,
Yeah, they would take their camera person would take the jacket and give it
away. And there's four canvas changes during that period of time, which was
also crazy. Yeah, it was two hour show. They had four or
five canvases like stacked on each other, and like after like every like fifteen
or twenty minutes, I feel like they'd take one of the canvases off every
Yeah, I think at least every two or three matches they would roll one
off. It was also very interesting that I've never seen when there's glitter,
Like when there was glitter and like I think it was bronze or a tanner
or whatever, they would the lint roll it up so that all that stuff
would get out the eng which first time I've ever seen in a wrestling thing
ever. Yeah, I was taking mental notes like that. Dude, I
was gonna say, super efficient fucking fucking system. That a tight ship.
Tight tight fucking ship. I am so els because it's like they on it,
man, they are on it. Um. I was not crazy about
the show, h but I mean maybe yeah, I mean I saw that
a lot of people really enjoyed it. Well that's like or whatever. But
maybe if I watched it at home, I would have liked it more.
Yeah, because I don't know, I felt like, no that you know,
the matches, like if they were gonna go to Gear two, it's
like they just got it was it was like TV. You know, it's
TV wrestling. So that's just how we were pretty excited about the side of
more match and that kind of wasn't great. Yeah, they kind of just
yeah, they never got out of the first gear. No, but you
know who did is Axiom so good? Actually was so fucking based and you
crazy. There's a point you can listen to it. It's very early in
the Axiom Who the fuck did he face? Buddy Walker Walker? Hank Walker,
Yeah, Hank Walker and Axiom. Very early on in their match,
they're like doing, you know, going back for holds and stuff. You
can hear us just a whole like because you know, you know you can
hear us going Axiom. Ah, It's just it's so fucking loud, even
them, like, you know, trying to silence the crowd. You could
hear. I was like, oh, that's so fu I wander hears booing
fucking hand sorry hand around. This crowd in the n XT arena is like
very dialed in. They know, like, Okay, we got a cheer
for this guy. Boo for this guy. Wherever going We're going, oh
pissed back stage. He's motherfucker's ruining the whole show, right. Oh,
there was one production dude that came up and said they liked the pod.
Shout out to you. Yeah, very that was awesome. Sorry if we
sorry they didn't like the actual thing. Yeah sorry. Someone docks us too.
And then we got on a Facebook dirt shepw has come. What's going
on? Yeah? We were, we were. We were contract tampering.
To be completely guy like guys like us, we really like contract tampering one
hundred percent. We were. We were tampering a lot of contracts. So
look out, look out look. We got a lot of handshake deals coming
up. Dude, ton of them you you've only seen two of them.
More are coming more are So NXT is done. Uh we get the funk
out of there, and we are hungry. We are so fucking hungry.
But James is going to pass out. I think James is. I like
i I've been up very late with James. In fact, Thursday into Friday,
I was up with James until eight am. We were just bullshitting,
real brother out stuff. James is so spent from the event and NXT and
all that stuff. He goes from like being down to get food to going
right to his room and going to sleep. And I don't play at all
too because you were you were fun. It was crazy. We're all giving
the rounds like, hey, man, see you a good trip, Well
you know, catch you next time. Whatever. James just disappears. I'm
like, what the hell he started pass out like bed, I'm tired.
It was fucking probably dehydrated all fuck no food, only fucking beers three three
days beers and then sitting sitting leg to leg with me at n XT for
three hours like insane stuff. Everyone leaves, uh, and then I sleep
the most I've slept, Like I think that the day like after n XT
into like my flight time, I was like I got like six or seven
hours, which was like the most I had gotten since like Thursday or Wednesday.
Actually, um, so Tony fly was super early. When you're flight
you were WIGNM or something with Chris. You were christ because it was like
seven am, right, so you were Chris said, do not talk to
me as we were, He said, do not talk to me this early.
And then I slept both at a layover and I slept on both planes,
so that was awesome. Okay, that's good, that's good. Yeah.
Um. A guy at the airport was trying to sell me on Crypto
Big Crypto it. I really didn't understand what he was talking about. He
was saying, like every three to four years, like it drops, so
like that's when you do it and should get into h l R or something
like that. Hustle Lloyd. I'm already, brother, I'm I'm get this
guy. James and I and Tony fly home, and then that same night
we had to produce DP to B commentary and then produce it the next night,
all while James has to edit the show and produce the show and fix
all this show together, all two shows, Spark and you already know,
all the while trying to watch stuff for the pod, and then we're also
trying to get all of our two K content done. So it's been a
really so if I wonder why this came on on Tuesday, it's been a
fucked up week. Yes, uh so we're trying. We're doing a lot
of cool stuff though. Um but yeah, that was and you know,
doing doing those trips with the boys is always very fucking fun. And James
and Chris being back on the on the loop is coconut. Yeah, had
a good time. Man. We'll give you some more food next time,
James. Yeah, I'll just take the beers. I'll bring the beer.
I don't want vegetable, I'll bring the beers vegetables. My favorite. There
we go. That was. That was our our trip all the way.
So apologies for the late pod, but we're doing a bunch of shit.
Hopefully you guys like it. All Right, now it's time to get into
T and A Impact Wrestling twenty thirteen. A very interesting area here to talk
about because Impact has gone through about forty different phases in about two years.
Holy shit, no kidding, man, we're coming out the other end right
now. We're getting to i'd probably say people started stop like they started to
stop watching right around like twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, you know, TENA
started going too, like Destination America, and then all that stuff happened with
the network and Spike and Rousseau, and you know, things kind of started
going downhill pretty quick. Is that when you stopped? When did you?
Like, do you remember like when you stopped? I mean, I feel
like we always followed it, but like there was definitely a point where I
was like, I'm not I don't even have to turn this on anymore.
Uh yeah, so funny enough, like this show, this exact show that
we're reviewing today, was like the catalyst to make me stop watching. It
wasn't and I don't even think it was anything really on the show that was
like too bad because it was a pretty I mean, this episode of Impact
is a pretty middling episode of Yeah, but it was like everything that had
come to a head to this point because I still did reviews on the on
the show, um up until about twenty fourteen. My last review on TNA
was like early twenty fourteen, so I still watching up at that point.
You know, it's still tune in and keep up with it, but it
was like weekly appointment viewing, and I was just getting progressively. You know,
It's just we'll talk about it as we get into the episode because it's
easier to explain. But you have to remember twenty thirteen twenty fourteen, where
the landscape of wrestling was at the Rock is feuding with seam punk right now.
Yeah, and you want to and if you want to talk about yeah,
and if you want to talk about an alternative a reason to need an
alternative wrestling show? Um, I mean definitely was a time where they could
have done a lot more. And I think that's what like kind of like
steered me off the ship for a while. Was like, you know,
at this point they got Bruce Pritchard and Al Snow and fucking you know what
I mean, and Jeff Hardy. It's basically just WB again, you know
what I mean? On the other channel. Yeah. Yeah, And then
of course twenty fifteen they go to Destination America. I think there. I
think when they went to Destination America it was roh and Impact on Destination America.
I think that's right. If not, it was like going to happen
like I don't know, if I don't I Impact was on their first right.
Well. I remember I reviewed in twenty fifteen an episode where our Wags
and Impact we're on the same night. Oh wow, Okay, Yeah,
I definitely remember Aces and Eights being like the last thing that I remember,
and I was like, ah, I'm checked out after this because like I
thought as Nates was cool and then they blew that Yeah it sting. Yeah,
I was just like I'm over it, you know what I mean?
They they they I feel like a lot of UM companies like this TV companies
have a very hard time, Like there has to be like an explosion of
the stable. It has to like everyone wants to join it and then everyone
wants to leave it. There's never like you're just associated with this forever or
it just you know, fades off, like it's this has to And they
did a lot of that in TNA, especially where like you know, groups
had to feud, everyone in the group had to viewed. Yeah, Tena
had his troops absolutely. Tena definitely had his tropes. I mean, especially
at the start of every year there was a new group trying to take the
reins from Dixie Carter take over TNA. That's that's funny. That was the
the CROs You're right, no one thought die. Yeah, I don't know
if that was like a rib every year to do that. They're like trying
to take it over from Dixie Carter. Um. But yeah, you know,
Hulk was on screen. Uh, Dixie was in a lot of Bischoff
was on screen then of course, you know, and like I said,
you have to remember the landscape of wrestling at the time. We'll talk about
it a little bit more. But then they debuted West Briscoe, Garrett Bischoff,
fucking nuts and Bruce Preta on screen or whatever. Yeah. Brook Hogan
is in charge of the women's v Yeah, yeah, yeah, they had
Terran Terrell and like, yeah, you know, and for for theres where
she turned out pretty all right, like her run, it was way better
than it should have been probably, No. Yeah, and I'll probably give
that to Yoki. That's what I was just gonna say. Kill can definitely
help a lot together here. Um. But yeah, I mean I think
we all kind of weekly watched. I was super into t Anda and like,
at around this point, I was like it was weekly appoint of viewing
for me to tune in and watch. And uh, you know, especially
coming off of Aries and Rude, which you know, funny enough, on
this show. It's a big angle for them that they carried the show for
two years, and the truth is they did. They did carry the show
for two years. They did Ari's X Division run was literally the only thing
worth watching for an entire year. You'rett well done too, and the payoff
was like perfect too. Yeah, it was awesome and and you know we
had and then like at this point, you know they're kind of AJ's kind
of off screen. It led to a very cool moment that I was there
for when he he turned into the bad dude. Yeah, evil ways and
they turned back in a phenomenal, very good moment. But there was a
lot of Bellatoor stuff also at the time, where the pushing Bellator crazy dude.
This is where it starts, actually, I think this is the first
was the debut of Bella after Yeah, yeah, yeah, this was very
As a fucking dude that tuned in every week, this is very fucking annoying.
It was unbelievably especially when they're trying to sell a big angle on the
show and then they have to stop to talk about some fucking no buddies fighting.
Yeah. So for everything they did pretty all right, there was always
ten steps that they just took backwards. But that is just a yeah,
that's just to set you up for Yeah. Yeah, Like I said,
it's a pretty middling episode of impact for the most part. Um, But
yeah, there's so many decisions here that you can see that Like, if
you were viewing at the time, you're like, man, especially if you
were into the indies. If you were an indie viewer at the time,
and like you try to tune in and watch the show, it's fucking impossible.
No, it's fucking insane. The same thing with W Yeah, that's
why I wanted to That's why I was into TEENAG because I was like,
oh, maybe they'll give me something a little different than WWE. Um.
I mean I was still like tuned into WB a little bit. I think
RAW had already gone three hours, and like RAW going three hours was a
huge reason I stopped watching. Yes, I don't want to watch anything like
stuff that I liked. I was still pretty into WW at the time for
the c and punk stuff. And then yeah they went three hours, and
like that was that was pretty much you in way. Um. But yes,
before we get into the episode, UM, we'll look back at the
time and the Observer stuff. Yes, So from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter January
fourteenth, twenty thirteen, just to give you guys an idea of what else
was going on in the wrestling world. Of course, Dave Batista is up
for the role of Drags the Destroyer and the movie Guardians of the Gap,
which is coming out next summer. I don't think he's too ron com for
you, buddy, He's too ugly for that. And yeah, so yeah,
so Batista is not in WWE. He is trying to go for a
stupid movie role. Man, what a fucking wasting Why would you hit your
legon on the Marvel? Would they have yours back into the ring? Buddy?
Yeah, come on, man, get in here and do the spine
buster. You buster, You get your ass back on TV. Now you
better be Caitlin's pro. I'm gonna be better. Terry Funk, sixty eight
years old, talked about retirement this past week, saying I had a magic
It's Timmy Dreamer for a company just over a year ago, and that,
truly and honestly is my last match. That said, there's no point in
being an idiot. If somebody approached me offering me an extreme amount of money
to wrestle, I'd be a fool not to taking a consideration too, that
the quicker I'd lose, the more money I'd walk away with. Think about
that. I'm retired, but if some idiot wants to go ahead and give
me more than I'm worth that while, then I'd take it from them.
What I've often thought about is having one more show where I'd sell the tickets
for one million dollars a piece. If I sell one ticket, then I
would wrestle. If I don't sell anything, I would not wrestle. That.
That's a tremendous idea, Just in case you're wondering. Uh. He
does wrestle at least seven more times after that of His last match is on
September twenty second at twenty seventeen, where he teamed with He teamed with the
Rock and Roll Express all this shit. Yeah, I think the match he's
talking about is Awe Knight of the Legends. He loses to Dreamer in a
no DQ match in seven, then he wrestles for All Japan. That's awesome.
Yeah, So that's fucking insane, unless he's talking about this tag match
he did with Dreamer against Landstorm and Watman for House of Hardcore. Uh that
was but that was the end of Yeah, So I think, yeah,
I think Funk is talking about the twenty eleven match, and then he rustles
again this year that he says he's retired base Terry funk Uh. The NWA
is looking to produce a television show. It may be distributed on the internet
instead of TV. I think they should give up on that. Looking back,
boys, the time go back. In TNA News, Meltzer has heard
some obvious concern NWA Bruce Dore Soon maybe un Billy Billy didn't. Billy didn't
buy it TI like twenties got packed before he does NA he got worked by
Dixie Cartage. Yeah. That was a fun error though, because if people
are coming out to fucking real songs, a lot a lot of hype in
that error too. Yeah, you're right. No, you know they got
a lot of chances Billy style they have. You're right, They've had way
too many chance they were not one. In DNA News, Meltzer has heard
some concern regarding the Genesis pay per view, which is the show that is
just before this Impact we're reviewing. They are taping a regular Impact on January
tenth, coming back with a three hour show on January twelfth at one pm,
and then another three hour show on the twelve at seven pm, before
coming back for the pay per view on the next day at eight pm,
all in the same building. The fears that they'll burn the crowd out the
day before the two shows. As we've been told our phil international commitments for
television and places where they have contracts. Uh so, yeah, DNA is
running one. I think that's right. Yeah started. What would do back
then? If they had to do that, they'd run like two three hour
shows of horrible, shitty short matches on purpose. Yeah, Reunion they would
not there not going to burn the crowd out. Joker's Wild was that one
that was where it was like random tag teams or some shit. Right,
they did extravagant Jokers Wild. Just ten Reunion, but ten Reunion I forgot
knockouts, knocked out the Tournament of Champions all right. In w news,
w BE secured one of its biggest mainstream marketing deals. I just put this
in here because it just for those of you that remember this is when this
started. Uh, one of the biggest mainstream marketing deals as Sena will be
on the front of four million boxes of fruity pebbles at Goco Pebbles that remember,
Yeah, the rock had so much ammunition because of this. Yeah.
Check your hand, buddy, dude. That was that's around this time too.
Yeah. Yeah, postmade the decision to feature Sena instead of Fred flint
Stone. That fucking bitch, Fred flint We saw your wife, I know,
bro, but as you know, he's looking at that guy. He
walks around just shirt, no pants or shoes. So you can't do that.
No, well I could, you can't. I will start. No,
you can't do that. Whatever it takes to get my wife bill like
Fred films the Flintstone. Bro, we don't got that. We'll Shapels Sharpell,
the marketing director a Post Cereal to ad age. We've been talking with
kids. Fred isn't necessarily the coolest or most relevant guy for the kids we
were going after. Fred Flintstone is out James at twenty thirteen. Yeah,
that's understand why. Yeah, you know he had a hell of a run
um. Thankfully, I'm getting my wife back to you're done, buddy,
you're gonna start wearing the no pants. Yeah. I think the no pants
look with the feet out all the time, grippers down, like that's a
really crazy look. Like you're even like using the feet in the car.
He's using his feet for a car. Yeah, he doesn't even need the
car. He even might as well just walk. Yeah, you're right,
run by the way. This is twenty thirteen where they said Fred isn't the
coolest, most relevant guy for kids. Two years later, w E does
the Flintstones w movie. Oh yeah, Vin's just heard about this. He
said, Wow, there's Fred heard about this? I like his style.
After that, he saw Scooby Doo. He said, whoa cyberchase? They
can hear the dog sentences? Now he can? He can? Now?
You know what's funny? You know, speaking of the Scooby Doo thing.
We you know, we mentioned that when we watched it. I saw a
tweet the r day and when the hell and this guy speak full sentences and
in the tweet got like a million fucking reacts to it. What everybody understand?
Nobody knew that Scooby dook. Thank you, bro. We were right.
We're always right. How's that work? Regarding the THHQ bankruptcy, which
is a major deal because if you take away the video game money, not
only do the wrestlers make a lot us, but the company profits per year
are cut way back. WW has listed has listed in THQ bankruptcy proceedings that
they are owed forty five million dollars I unlike the DEALTHQ made which will allow
the company to continue, this may spell the end of it because of all
licenses, including Saints Row, James will be up to the highest bidder.
As with WWE, the new owners may have sold the ww license anyway for
capital to help produce Saints Row, which is the company's big moneymaker. Ww's
own millions and royalties over in the year's game and back royalties they were expecting.
Yukes is said to be owed in the range of eighteen million dollars for
work already done on games. There are companies who have expressed interest in WWE,
like EA or be Soft. Warner brought us and Take two Interact a
guylight me taking the time back. We gotta figure out of business. Well.
Games was like my favorite game, fucking w was rocking. You know,
the Yuke's partnership was rocking. These are going well. I mean,
we gotta go back and figure how to get TSU's day in business. In
other news, there were reports at press time that El Generico had signed with
the WWE, but since they came right on deadline, weren't able to confirm
that, but in the next Observer it is confirmed the El Generico has signed
a WWE and this is I think the same weekend or the weekend coming up
where they do uh Steve Genarico go to the finals of Bola or sorry of
a DDT four with the Bucks and then they do the Generico send off.
Also a reminder, Jenerico had a tena tryout. Jenarico had a tena tryout.
Everyone raved about Al Generico. The crowd very much loved El Generico.
This was also I think maybe it might have been a match with Jack Evans
that from what it was told that Jenerico would have signed. Please Garrett put
out the Generico TNA match it. I know you have a Garrett put the
match out. Yes, so Jared, this is Generico going to WWE,
which is fucking three. See to me at the time, because El Generico
is fucking l Generico, I was like, this guy is Indie forever because
he's El fucking Generic. Oh we started, Yeah, we hadn't started the
exodus yet, so no, this is where it starts. Yeah, this
is where it starts. Oh yeah, absolutely, this is where it starts.
And Uh, you know, this could have been stopped. That's why
everybody understand that this could have been completely different. TENA could have prevented this,
and that's why that's why it was so fucking unnerving. It'd be a
TENA fan at the time because it's like, yeah, you know, trying
to figure out why that no one they're not signing these guys, especially,
like I said, we'll talk about as we get in the episode, but
you had to, you had to. Yeah, Generico Goes Steen is very
soon to go after Adam Cole, Sammy Callahan. I'm pretty sure the Briscoes,
I think going to try out too. There is not one eye for
talent in TNA at this time. They're literally no, man, and I
mean you want we'll talk about fucking gut check. Holy fuck man. Yeah,
this is the gut check that ruined everything, the gut check that killed
fucking the whole fucking gimmick. Adam Cole and Sammy Callahan both have wb Tria's
scheduled between now and the end of the month. It's Callahan's second trial.
The success of Ambrose, Rollins and Punk and Brian have caused a totally different
feeling when it comes to talent coming through the indies and also talent that that
doesn't even look the size and physique that are used to being the first thing
they look for. So the exodus is coming abgs, but they get gutted.
Crazy stuff yeah. From The Observer January twenty one, twenty thirteen and
TEENA News. TEENA is embarking on a series of significant changes in how they
present and market their product, with the first changes being in the pay per
view department. Department, excuse me? After just announcing a cutback to ten
shows from twelve, they now announced they are cutting back to four live pay
per views per year after Genesis on January thirteenth. The only live pay per
view shows left after for this year are Lockdown in March, Slam Anniversary in
June, and Bound for Glory in October. So, and they also are
changing their prices. Lockdown and Slam Anniversary will go from thirty four ninety five
to thirty nine ninety five, with Bound for Glory being forty four ninety five.
The idea was they couldn't compete with w every month, right, which
they couldn't. No, they couldn't not with this show. No, then
how soon, how soon after this, they do like the impacts that were
like the pay per views, but they just do them on Impact. Yeah,
that's this, that's this. It's like, yeah, by the way
they would yeah, they what they would do was is instead of they would
do like the week that they would originally have a pay per view, they
would do the special Impact. So when they cut to four, they just
immediately did the four the specials. I think, so, yeah, they
just turned regular shows into fucking because I think uh once trying to ground around
remembering too, Oh wow, I forgot about that was open fighting, right,
I thought that was fun. Oh yeah, I mean they tried a
bunch of gimmicks. Once again, it came down to the style of wrestling
they have on the show, which, yeah, we'll talk about that here
in just a second. The movie is because they couldn't make money on the
seven thousand to twelve thousand buys they are estimated at doing for most of their
shows. Even though there is apparent small increase in numbers since making Jeff Hardy
Champion and the Grandscme of Things, it's very minor. They two shows on
January twelfth and Orlando, one at one and one at seven Attendance was smaller
at the afternoon session, which was the Joker's Wild tag, so many people
were leaving that at the show. As it was going on, they announced
that if you stayed until the end of taping, you would get a free
TNA T shirt me Jeff Hardy the loudest in New Japan News. Kazuka Okada
signed a one year deal New Japan after getting offers from WWE. Tena had
Okada. Yeah, Ena and uh, treat him like dogs shit. I
mean, from what I understand, New Japan wanted them to be strong on.
They wanted him to strong arm and so he could be a little bit
so he could be ready for the time he got back to Japan and ready
for the run. Well, Tena said, we'll double strong arm. We'll
take him down be style headlock out. He'll go to stand outside of the
Blue Man group and sell tickets with Jay Lethal and uh, when he gets
back in the venue, he puts on a student mask, and then we'll
make sure he never wants to work in America again. Actually, if that's
what you're looking for, ghetto. Uh and finally and more to b tryout
and who's marking j Brisco along with Sammy Callahan and Ricky. Yes, we'll
be going next month to a Florida camp tryout. They were doing a three
day camp at the end of the month. So the exodus is upon us.
Uh. Ricky Reyes is a name I didn't think would be brought up
there. I don't know how many people know of Ricky ray As. He
was deep in early roh homicide low key, yes, exactly, you know
homicide low key. Uh, he was you know Rott Wilas who was with
all them fucking dudes and uh you you know, it was hard to watch
US Indie around that time, like fucking like oh four to oh seven,
maybe even later eight without seeing Ricky Rayas on the car just because he was
just fucking a guy that everyone booked. Well that was I mean, that's
a lost artist just getting in the car and going to the indie. Yeah,
you're right, you're right, yeah yeah. Speaking of the Briscoes,
by the way, I don't know, I don't know if, I don't
know if I'll ever ever chanced to tell this story again. I was at
a show. This was two thousand and eight or thousand and seven. The
Briscoes, weren't it was pro wrestling unpluged. I think it was a tag
tournament and the Briscoes were fighting. I want to say they were fighting.
Maybe the sat and there's a spot on the outside where I think it was
had to have been Jay. Jay has a chair and he fucking winds the
chair back. They're on the floor, winds the chair back, the lip
the top of the chair, pops Mark Brisco in his fucking mouth. And
that's why Mark Brisco doesn't have his teeth. I was at the show where
Mark Brisco lost his Yeah, it was unbelievable. So if you ever wonder
whether if you can find it's a proostling unplug tag tournament. Yeah, Jay
fucking no, I don't think he knew either. Obviously, he was just
wind him back, popped him in the fucking mouth, broke his shit.
Shit unbelievable. So that is it for Wrestling News at the time. And
now it's time to talk about He and A, which is they don't want
to call TNA anymore. They're trying to get impact wrestling. Yeah, all
right, time to get into the actual TNA impact. Dan. No,
they don't have an intro, do they, Dan, Dan Dandy? I
was close yes, it's it's in there, all right, so cold open
here. A few things have happened over the past few weeks. Sting returned
to get revenge on the Aces and Eights in a cage, which, by
the way, the Aces and Eights are a motorcycle gang that has nothing to
do with the very popular TV show Sons of Anarchy. Well that was,
of course, the very small minor audience of Sons of Anarchy that would not
watch this show. So it was okay, yeah, it's a motor It's
right, it's a motorcycle gang. And they also played cards and it has
the worst lineup of all time. You guys should check it out. Man,
it's crazy. We'll tell them it is. Oh, I don't know
them off the top. We just found out. I just out about knucks.
We just found about nuts. Let's see how many, Yeah, let
me see how many. Spoil some here because no one gets unveiled here,
so you can spoilt how many you got here? All right? So?
Uh, Bully Ray correct? What von Oh? By the Bully Ray is

but we're just naming everybody. Just okay, Bully Ray Devon, Bully,
Ray, Devon, Tazz, Tas, Okay, Knucks, Gallows, m

was in it. I'm missing one more on You're missing definitely one more that
I can think of. Yes, uh fuck, all right, let me
think was he was he with the group? He's not. He's in the
group Anderson. That's right, Yeah, let's go. He's already more miss
wait wait wait wait wait. According to Wikipedia, there is missing. Don't
remember I'm missing a really big one. Yeah, huge one. Oh my
god, you are missing a really big one. Yeah that might some argue.
Critics are saying that is the biggest AS and AS member sits. Also,
there's a few other members that I don't remember being in this Eva Lease
was in the group for one night. Uh. And then Mike Mike was
ejected by the stable to prevent it from leaking information after an interrogation from Austin
areas. He was just a guy. He was actually nobody. And then
c J o'doyle, who if you were an Ibo Mid South fan in like
two thousand and eight, you would know who that is. Or PWU fan
in two thousand and eight. You know c J o'doyle is. I didn't
know he was in this group. He's like a churn angle. Is that
he unmasked him like a week ago? Okay um And also Leva Bates.
She was a prospect of States. She made an appearance portraying a stage hand
who helped the faction abduct Sting and all coc I can't believe you got t
Dorties. I thought you would leave that one behind. Listen to me,
there's no way. I remember the repercussions of Dotiz very well. You were
there. You were there for the death. I was there for the test
marker thing, dude, for whatever's where. Tina ran a lot of Southern
shows at the time, So like, okay, like a lot of Virginia
dates. I would always go out there because it's only like two hours away,
That's right. I would. I would drive to wrestling shows that wanted
to see. I would drive to see. I went to Carnage Cup in
Alabama because I wanted to see that shit. I don't give a shit different.
I went to Florida to watch NXT because I wanted to see that ship.
That's crazy you watch it on TV? Was Tony I, me and
my buddy. Thursday night, I flew out to Florida to go to a
TNA taping. Once I said, hey, man, I really would like
to just go to Universal, and then we went out there. I was
like, holy shit, tena yeah, went out there. Yeah, And
that was the night that low Key like attacked the fan something, Oh my
god. And they ended that very swiftly. That happens a lot. Yeah,
you're right. There's a couple of times. I'm sure people are like,
damn, there's like four which one. Have you ever seen a sorry
sidebar? Again? Have you ever seen an attendent like that in person?
Like other than have you said you were at the low key one that was
okay? Have you seen anything else on that, um, not that I
can think of. I probably might have think so. I don't think there's
anything crazy in any shows. Oh wait, the one when I was young.
Yeah that the on the heels were fu with the fans. Oh but
no, I don't. I can't think of any famous ones off the top
of my head. I was at the show We're Super Dragging monkey flipped the
fan. That's awesome. I guess the only thing I saw. The one
thing I saw was New Orleans for WrestleMania. Andrew Everett back flipped over a
puddle. That's crazy. You said, sometime I'm gonna run a company.
I'm gonna put him in. I said, yeah, keep it up.
One day kid, One day kid, still still kicking years. Yes,

Doyle No exposed, not sorry that Bucks, Yes, of course, nuts

Ray and Brooke Hogan his daughter. You have sex with my daughter, dude,
he's he's dude, I saw you kissing all my daughter. And he
suspends Bully Ray and then tells Brook the fuck off. You can suspend somebody
for your daughter, Rickman, push somebody for that. Fuck you, Hogan,
all right, you can't suspend Bully Ray. Do you understand me?
Dude? Triple h got pushed for fucking homeboy's daughter. He got the title.
Hogan is suspending. Dude, this is horrible. This is terrible.
Suspends. No, you can't suspend you kids. I love Mark, I

here, brother, and you're looking right at him. Dude, You're not
the man for my daughter. Dude, your name is Mark Brother, but
you are Mark Brother. I'll tell you that that's Mark. Shut your mouth
over there right now. You're tonight, but you Mark, you're getting your
Mark ass out of your dude, he does that WP titles. Dude,

the one I got from Minochi himself. Giant Baba would pistes shit on you

not talking about tonight, brother is Baba. Because you want to talk about
Baba. We're gonna talk about Booya. You're no Babba, You're just Bubba
and you're a bitch. Dude. Can you imagine who pitched this angle?
Where is that Bulli Ray or Bubba Ray? Dudley's gonna have sex with your
daughter? Dude? That is fucking crazy. That sounds good to me,
brother, I like that. ID keep it coming. Guy responds to this
by Hogan shitting on him by proposing to Brooke right in front of Hogan and
sting, Which is where we're at now. You are cordially invited to the
wedding of Bulli Ray and Brooke Hogan, who runs the Knockout's Division. Yeah,
okay, this was horrible too. The Brook Hogan running the Knockouts was
crazy because they just had those like big resurgence about how you know the division
was a big fucking turning point for teenage and then they brought in fucking hok
Hogan's daughter, Garrett Bischoff's son Wes Eric Chriscoe. Yeah, ye, crazy
Bujo's baby should also be running it, honestly. Um. But yeah,
so we we get into the actual Dan Dan Dan Dan Um. So it
shows the wedding cake for to night of course, and the graphic of gifts.
They never show the gifts. We never got the reveal what actually they
were gifts. One of them was a Claire Lynch baby doll. Uh.
That ain't really stunted, brother, But we got a google here tonight,
dude, AJ, that's why you're not here tonight. AJ. You can
stay out for another six months at least, dude. And Cas, you're
taking a pin of night dude. So it shows the shirt. Take that
off your little Brodie. It shows the wedding cake. The graphic Bully Ray
is getting married to Brooke Hogan. The night's Um. You know, we
have totally gone away from wrestling in TNA at this point, which is unbelievable.
This is a Bruce Pritchard and Al Snow production. Bro brutal. They
were like, anytime the teenage could possibly I don't know, make money or
anything. Bruce Pridget and All Snow puts the top of that. So yeah,
we'll talk about how that came into play later to night. Um,
but first we got a pre tape heer of Bully Ray looking at his suit
for the wedding tonight. And not only that, James, but brother run
brother dude. Oh, he did call him Spike. He does, Yeah,
dude, Spikes is all you're getting married and Bully he says, you're
still wearing these things because Spike still has the Dudley glasses on. Dreamer then
comes in and say he's like, you're early after last night is guys,
listen, I got you Texas. We're not wearing ty dye. Uh.
And this is for you, Spike. It's a double small. And this
one is for you Dreamer. You fat, it's a double wid And Drew
bro I can't believe you get married and boy say, hey, thanks,
bro. I used to beat the crap out of you every night. Remember,
don't forget. And then we cut to Brooke, who is thanking the
Knockouts for bringing her bridesmaids because she has no other friend, no friends at
all, but the knocker that's awesome. Well yeah, we got test Marker,
Mickey, James, Christy himy Uh. They're in the Blue Man Group
Public Bathroom Universe, getting ready for of course, the big wedding night,
looking great. Thought, oh my god, they were smoke shows. They
were unbelieved shows. Test maker asked Brook if her dad is coming, and
then Christie and Mickey James make very angry faces. Question. I keep saying,
Brooke, sorry, test marker is also a Brook, but she's test
maker, right, She's missus test maker here because Brooke is a Brook.
Yeah you remember the specifically she does. But she was Brooke Adams and then
she came to ten a Brooke test maker, but then had to be missus
test Maker because they did because Brooke Cooking had to keep her name Jr.
I mean, and let me you know, we probably I don't know how
many times we'll get to talk about this, uh you know later. I'm
sure we'll cover more Tena in the future. But um, test mocker is
a person who came into Tena and I'll be honest with you, was not
very good. Um, she'll probably tell you she wasn't very good. Um,
but she really put the nose to the grindstone. And she got a
lot that I gave her. Yeah, everything they gave her, she fucking
did to her best, which is all you can ever ask of a talent.
Yeah. I mean, I think the stuff with Tara a little bit
later on, and uh, you know, she gets her she even gets
a little singles thing, and then of course the fucking Bully Ray moment um.
Uh yeah, it was very shout out. Well, Brooke doesn't know
if her dad is coming to the wedding. It's that is the controversy here.
Maybe I am or maybe I'm not busy dude, you know, maybe
it will be there, Broke. Maybe if you were getting married to me,
dude, Yeah, he's actually the one you're supposed to getting too,
but they changed up the last second. What the fuck he's fucking observed this
brother, I was supposed to get married tonight. So now it's time for
the Jeff Hardy town hall. Who's on commentary here? Todd Todd? I
have I have zero zero memory of this human being. I think this was
like CG. I didn't I know Todd personally, No, but I know
Todd. So Todd. Uh was here for a good minute. He was
at least for at least a year. And uh, I actually really enjoyed
Todd. He was like, because you have to remember at the time,
we've gotten Taz for a couple of years now. He is insufferable most of
the time. He hated this. He hated yea. Yeah, like compared
to Don West, Taz was a very obvious step down sure, um,
and I liked Taz, But I think Taz will even tell you, yeah,
dude, that his time in TENA as commentator was bad. The Todd
guy actually brought the product up a little bit because he was happy to be
there. Um, and he would actually like lead the show, which I
thought was very cool. Sure, I'm not too sure why they decided they
needed a third man win. I think Mike Tanay probably could have done it
too. Well, That's what I was wondering, because I swear it starts
off as Todd and Taz and then Mike's and A comes in like after this
segment. Well, they had a three man booth a lot during this area.
I remember that, so because Rawl did too, you know what,
you're probably that's probably what they did. But yeah, Todd was actually pretty
good at his job and they let him go and I never really understood why,
and I you know, maybe he was a paying the ass back stage.
I was reading here that they said Jared Boresh did color did alongside Todd
Kennelly for one hour as the B team, and Mike Tnan Taz did hour
two as the A team, And that's the short time before Boresh went back
stage to do interviews, and then he just joined Tenay and Taz on commentation
from Was he from like NASCAR or some bush? I think he was a
hermiler pro. I think he's still doing like wrestling commentating at like it looks
like he does championship wrestling. Oh, he's a commentator for Championship wrestling.
Yeah, I don't know which is good. I thank you for researching and
looking into stuff, and I think that was cool. He really did bring
a lot to the product at the time. Yeah, um, you deserve
better. Yeah you did. You did deserve better, and you probably still
do. Sorry that it's my fault that you got fired. Well, Jeff
Hardy's here, and of course he won the three way matches Genesis against Ruden
Aries. Um Man, he is the TEENA champion, just to point out
here, and I don't know if you guys will remember or not, because
I know he has it at the end of the match. Here jump ahead
a little bit, but Jeff only comes out with the one title on his
jacket. Maybe it was because I saw his stomach a little bit, so
I think, hell, you know it was twenty thirteen. Yeah, I
saw a lot of Miller lights in the crowd, So I just keep that
in minded. I believe Jeff Hardy only comes out here with one time,
I think, which the world title, which I very cool belt. Um,
yeah, the the big gold looking belt I thought was you know,
at the time, I was like, I really like the Eagle one.
I thought the Eagle one was really cool. Um, But looking back on
you know, I enjoyed this belt and um, you know, like I
said, rud and Ares fought over it, and like I remember it mostly
for that. Um. I think a lot of people probably remember for Bobby
Lashley, I feel like he held it. Did MacIntire have that belt?
Did? I think some officially or something for you? Yeah? I was
kind of out of you any of that time. Me too. Um,
they were in England. A lot couldn't stand it. Just not working for
me. I've um, but bad influence interrupts Jeff Hardy. Oh my god,
I like this a lot. Yeah, they're cool. This is way
better than SEU ever was. Oh oh yeah, yes, very fur like
very early SEU I thought was cute. I like that, but they ever
did anything better than that. They did not feel as cool as Apple Martini
Daniels. Yeah, Martini Daniels is all time. Two things I wanted to
point out here. Jeff Hardy gets a you still got it chant. I'm
pretty sure he's like working every week, so I think I think they were
saying, you still got the belt is what they were trying to chant,
because he won the Man Event and he's still champion. Uh. He cuts
like the before the sums the most buzzword promo I've ever heard of my life.
Hey, yeah, what about Genesis Man Event? You like that?
Yeah? Creatures they chant, we are creatures too. Yeah, well the
creature is nuts man. Yeah. I uh, this was a tough error
to go through because, like I'm a Jeff Hardy fan, but him being
at top here and then TNA fucking very obvious. It was so obvious what
they were doing this guy. And then they would go over Europe and Jeff
can't go to Europe, so they have to write him off TV in the
World Chat Europe. Yeah, damn man, This is tough to get through
sometimes, but I mean, you know, and you got guys like rooting
aries and they could have promoted later that. Honestly, they were just spitting
on what the general consens where the Yeah, they were just spitting fucking facts
they just read off the court, were like this play sucks, but yeah,
Bad Influence comes out and uh, Kaz immediately says that in one week,
Christopher Daniels will challenge for the title. Uh. And that's seven days,
you butt puppets. Awesome. Kaz is also wearing a shirt they had
so many of that, and TNA, I feel like there was you bet,
dude, you guys can all do that if you babbody forced them to
wear it, wear that. I get Hey, I made the shirt for
you kids are Um, you know, I can't believe that these guys just
aren't doing this right now. I feel like Kaz and Daniel's teaming up for
a fucking remembrance run and like doing Bad Influence and stuff like whatever you do,
really you could, yeah time, and I'm sure Daniel fucking booking is
there and sure, yeah, why not because I thought Bad Influence was awesome?
But Daniels has a world title match next week. Uh. Daniels is
also he's the one that say AJ styles home, um, which of course
I believe leads to him riding a motorcycle for the first time. That's right,
um, Kas and Daniels attacked Jeff Hardy, but James Storm makes the
save Yes, the cowboy of Jimmy Storm, because Daniels, I believe,
beat James Storm at the pay per view to get that shot at okay,
number one contend, Yes, number one contender. Yes, so he beat
James Storm a genesis to get the shot the title. Uh. He said,
these so called creatures are losers, just like aj and just like Jimmy
Storm, and just like you, and Jeff says, had your mind,
he doesn't really know what to say. Hey, Daniel says, creatures,
turn that front upside down, because when I win the world title, I
will give you all permission to worship me. And he gets cut off because
yes, you said me with the teeth, with the teeth, the tea
you gotta have the Well, James Storm comes out and makes it save.
They clear house and James Storm says, why don't you two get in the
ring with us right now? And Daniels Gazarian do not want to do that,
and James Storm said, well, I wasn't asking. This isn't an
option, so get ready to have your butts whipped. Uh. And James
Storm now the booker because this is a match now, there's a ref in
the ring, and it's a tag match. Even though Daniels a Gazarian said
no, come out and say we are having a match right now, and
then it happens. That's how it works, just happens. Yeah, there's
authority figures on the show. You can't do that. He's not here for
bullying. You know, they had like three so I don't know whatever I
could have said yes to this. Somebody kind of come out about the gut
check thing. They couldn't run the show either. There was nobody running this
show right now. The wedding ruined the show, so you can say that
about a lot of them wrestling weddings. James starting, Jeff Hardy versus bad
influence, um, bad influences. They look good here Man Today is here
now, by the way, well, thank you for joining us. Mike
Today with Todd. Well, James, don't fucking worry about this main event
because Bellatore debuts tonight on. You got the wrestling shit dude, World Champion
of the Ring, fucking James Storm, number one contender in the ring,
one of the top tags in the ring. They got Dad debut. They
did after this shitty show. Two hard cells in match one, two bellator
hard cells. I'm talking sixty seconds, two hard cells. So they do
the bell, they do the belletoor thing. Then Today puts over both Storm
and Jeff Hardy by saying Storm is a beard drinking cowboy who loves to work
on his truck and bet football and well, Jeff Hardy is a charismatic enigima
who likes music and art, not drinking, not drinking. No, like
Jeff Hardy would paint James Storms truckers. Though that's what Maybe Hardy painting Storms
truck like that and checked out interested dude to this time, let's say that
I wrote this is a raw main event tag in the opener of the show,
Dub you could smell the fucking Bruce Pritchard on this. You can smell
it. It's unbelievable. But yeah to belatre hard Cells. Uh, Storm
dive the outside bad Influence, did a cool hip toss leg drop double team
and was cool. The second belt or cell is actually pretty funny. Uh.
So they're talking about belatory commentary again, like Today says Michael Chandler is
my one of my favorite MMA fighters ever. Uh. Michael Chandler is like,
I think he's tenant out at that point, which is just so funny
that he comes because Michael Chandler's like Connor mcgreger's next fight. Oh really Yeah,
yeah, they're doing Ultimate Fighter together and they're fighting after that. Yes,
there's our Harde Like today, it was on the pulse of h Hey,
Brota, you got Chuck Lindell, you got Matt Hughes. Brother Kevin
random in time said all right, well back to the action, guys,
come back in here. Storm dabsy outside Hardy has a twist of fate.
Uh and Jeff Hardy pins cats with a twist the fastest twist of fate I've
ever seen him doing. You only it was just like an r KAO.
I didn't even understand the twist of fade at the time. He was doing
stunners and just letting it. It was a whole different move. You're right.
It was just like it was flailing his arms and he ended up hitting
with a cutter. Yeah. And uh, you know it's weird because I
feel like Jeff Hardy was still pretty insane at this point too. He just
was changing stuff up. I mean, this is when does he I don't
think he's even done the swanton onto the stairs yet. No, No,
he hasn't. I feel like that's a good bit later too. That's a
couple of years, I think. So he's still he still wants to do
some crazy shit. They're just he's doing fucked up twist of fates and comes
out the hoodie off the world Champion Hodie with the face bait. James Thorm
has blown his vout on House Show Dive like all right, guys, House
Show Dive, with the opener tagging he goes looks pretty bad. Oh.
Jeff Hardy now has his version of the world title as well as the TNA
t he's celebrating with both. U. For those who don't know, Jeff
Hardy had his own version of the TNA title, which they refused to just
use as its own. He always had to have both, heel. I
guess what, even when he was a heel, I think he had both.
Yeah, he's really liked the face, the Jeff Hardy face title.
Um, he was huge. Ken Anderson big fan of that too. He
had that for a while. Dude, he did have that. I got
your face right here. The Jeff Hardy face one is so much like other
people holding is so much weirder, weirder than people holding like the spinner,
like w B title, because the Spinner just ended up just being their belt.
Yeah, they oh, they definitely. You know. I remember Dixie
doing like press at the time and she was like, it's not much different
than the spinner belt, and like, yes, that's why they kept it
around so different. Well, Daniels jumps Jeff Hardy from behind and hit him
with the Angels wings onto the Jeff Hardy face title, his face, onto
his face, and he lays on top of Jeff with the title, posing
with it because they have a tag tile. Sorry, they have a title
match next week. He should have drank a martini on him, He should
have pissed in his mouth, so don't un zip it. We go to
a pre tape TENA gut check. Do you want to explain what this is?
So TNA gut check was there worked? Shoot, the first idea they
ever had, Yeah, it was they would do it was pretty much them
like doing on TV scouting. They would like, this is a real thing
that was like the outside of this, like this is how they would They
would they go to a new area and they hold a gut shows. Yeah,
they do it like you know, before the show or wherever they it
was called gut check because that's where they needed a brand it as. But
yeah, it was like seeing if guys were good enough for TNA. But
then they moved it to TV, right, and this is what you.
Yeah, you would do a match and they would obviously evaluate you and then
they would do it. I don't know how long the TV version lasted.
Those of you that do know about this probably know about the Rick Flair one
where Rick Flare went off the script and said yes to somebody he was meant
to say no to and they never used them. Oh, Alex Silva,
Yes, Alex Silva. He won the first gut check, the very first
one. Who Yeah, they sucked it up immediately for them. So there's
three judges in the ring. They'll do a fucking thing and then they give
you the yes or no that and if you get the yes, then you're
fucking in. So they did that first one with Alex Silva and Bruce Pritchard
and Al snow Uh I think both said yes and Flair was supposed to say
no, but then he said yes, So he was fucking on horrendous.
So uh okay, Bruce Pritchard, Yeah, you already said, I just
want to make sure. Yeah, TNA gut check judges this time around are
Bruce Pritchard in fucking oversized suit and shirt, Al Snow and Tazz in uh
a little tie tas in little tuxedo because he's going to do away. And
the two people that the gut check is this time are, of course Ja
Bradley Um from Resistance Pro which was Corgan Chicago Fed at the time. Their
title was the Big Gold with a R on it and he was also he
had a w B run too. He was he was Brad Bradley. I
think it was Ryan Braddock as well. Was that him too? I think
that might have been him. Oh well yeah, I mean that makes a
little more sense for what Bruce Pritchard says later. Yes, um, but
okay, So Jay Bradley UM and Brian Cage Brian Cagey thirteen Brian Cage p
BG out of his mind, crazy so over in thirteen Brian Cage fighting Taylor
Boys, stacked out, crazy, unbelievably good looking dude, young bump card
not even near full yet, not even close. No, he's still he's
still relatively like little compared looking. Yeah, he just looks like he's ripped.
Yeah. And Jay Bradley, brad Bradley, listen to me, man,
I I I you know what Jay Bradley, he brabbly pro is super
nice guy. I actually there was a time what was he doing it?
He was on something I was watching like after this, I think it was
what the fuck was it? It might have been, it might have been,
but he's like wrecky ball Lagersky. I think he's he's a Goldie based
recky yeah, the fiers, yeah, the fixers, Jay Bradley, the
fixer, Like, I don't think it was. This was like earlier,
like like twenty seven, twenty eighteen, NWA, and I was like,
oh, this guy's fucking he's got some size and he's cool. I actually
didn't mind him that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying here here. Yeah,
yeah, That's what I'm saying. Look that this is not your spot
to have. I like, oh, look, I understand that the two
of the three judges are the biggest ball lickers of all time. I get
I understand, but this is an unbelievable bag fumble. Yeah, yeah,
unbelievable and it's because not a single person in this company had an eye for
talent at the time. No, no, no, This segment here is
them in the back going over Cage and Jay Bradley and saying, oh,
you know what do you think you know this guy did a good job and
was like, oh, yeah, well Cage lost lost his match as yahooked
it like that. Yeah, I mean it's funny seeing Taz shit on Brian
Cage here in this segment when they end up in AWE. He kind of
liked he'd be like Brian Cage when Jay Bradley did. Yeah he did.
Yeah, Taz did he like Brian Cage more. He was saying that Jay
Bradley won the match though, he was like, oh, well Cage didn't
win. Oh he's just bringing up facts. Sure, but yeah, I
mean, you know, no, I don't think Brian Cage had altogether at
this point, but he was an infinitely more entertaining guy. Yeah, Like
down the line, he can you know what I mean, we can figure
something more. Um, you know, Jay Browdley's guy you could have just
picked up. I'm sure if you just asked Ja Browley Adwards you could just
have you could have signed Brian Cage and then just had Jay Browley attack him
afterwards. It's kind of what they did with Joey Ryan, you know.
Yeah, and Alice Oh remember that Tenay gut check is one of the worst
things they ever did. That's where everybody understand that. Just say, we
get that everybody stands gut check angle where Joey Ryan fought against the system and
attacked al Snow because they wouldn't say yes to him, so they like attack,
yeah, go with the ticket and the crowd, Yeah, exactly.
So that was that was the segment I'm talking about who they're gonna pick for
They're gonna say and my choices fade to black Dad. So now it's time
for a free tape. Here Tommy Dreamer is trying to button up Spike Dudley
for the wedding. Of course that help Spike Dudley dress himself shirts not even
like and Bully Bully goes up to him and Sniffy said, you still wreak
a boozing strippers steaky know where. I totally forgot about this at the time.
But Joseph Parks comes in and talks to Bullie Ray. Yes, Joseph
park Walks in and blazes, dude, I'm in a good mood. Please
don't ruin it in. Josep Parks says, listen, I know we had
our differences, but if it wasn't for you going to Hogan, I wouldn't
be on the roster. And here's a box of cubans, he says,
please keep this on a download. They're not street legal. K fob.
He goes, yeah. Um. He throws the box of Cubans to Spike
and says something, but they cut it. I'm imagine he said something out
of pocket. Yeah. Probably, I mean that's very yeah, probably yea.
But Joseph Parks very based. They had super base. By this point,
Abyss had been killed three times over teenage. Made sure that there was
no remnants of anything good left in Abyss at this point. Um. So,
like the it was very very welcome changed to see him do Joseph Parks
because now they can do what they were doing to Abyss. But he's not
Abyss anymore. So it didn't matter if they ridiculed him every week, because
it's Joseph Parks. This is what they wanted to do with a Biss for
the last ten years. They did it with a bit for the last ten
years. Now they can just do it on just a part of the stuff.
They get the same satisfactor. It's crazy, man um, but he
was a he was a fun part of the show and always felt like everything
he was in was very entertaining. That goes to say for a Biss forever
and all, Yeah, it was fucking unbelievable. Man like I I will
never not be sad that, uh, he will never get the recognition that
he should have. I mean, you know, people, maybe people lay
because they hear you all this guy worked for WWE, but you'll never you
will never under you will never under should have just done the match with the
Undertaker. He didn't do the match with un Jake Arrest, And you're right,
he should have shou he should have lost the under twa if he was
more selfish, you should have gone the kind have lost the Undertaker, and
then after that they can make fun of him on TV and put him with
thumb. He could lose the Undertaker, kne Mark Henry and the Big Show,
and I think they would have done waders for his career. Ye well,
at least you know, at least he's making fun of him every week.
It's more money than if Ta was making fun of him, someone would
have saw it at least. Uh. Now it's time for the ten a
gut check, town hall gut check decision time. So Bart jb Jermy bar
Ash introduces Tazz, Bruce Pritchard and Al Snow and then he introduces Jay Bradley
and Bran How everybody gets like a like this Tazz, this is the senior
vice president of ball King, Bruce Pritchard and Al Snook. To be fair,
who gives a fuck? And they probably who would give a fuck enough
to know who Bruce Pritchard is. You probably need to introduce this guy.
Yeah, I love uh, I love that Jay Bradley and Brian Cage came
out here. You got the boomstick, bro the boomstick. He does have
the booms. You got the boomstick and free fint on his little funny.
Can you explain with the booms the boomsticks. If you don't know the boomstick,
you gotta figure it out. Okay, the boomstick with the boomstick,
it's hilarious, right, that's all it is. Finished. Yeah, but
it's arm, right, it's his arm is the boost. Yes, it's
it's an evil dead reference Bruce Campbell boomstick and uh he used that. Yeah
right, he's leading the Bruce Campbell state. Well, come in, if
Bruce game was on TNA, that would have been super basic. They missed
out on like a crazy tie in. Man, I mean, you know
TNA. Should you think TNA pitched Jay Bradley cutting his arm off and putting
a chainsaw there and staid would it'd be crazy? He didn't need to though,
I mean, you know what I'm saying, Like, I mean,
he was over already, you know what I mean. So it was good
over. Oh yeah, I can't wait you to talk about the crowd this
Segre, this is crazy. Well j B says, the only one of
you will go on the face of the judges. H. So they have
to. They had a match last week and Jay Bradley won, he beat
Brian Cage. Now this week they will just send us two weeks in a
row with the worst shit ever. Yes, so yeah, Jay Bradley being
the Brian Cage. And then this week they not only decide they decide which
of the two they are going to decide who gets the contract, which is
a very strange way to do this. So they're booting one and then they're
deciding if the other one is getting contract one. I think they were trying
to decide if they wanted both of them or not. I couldn't decide if
that's what they were going for here, So I felt like it was like
they don't know. I felt like it was like they both could get a
contract. It wasn't like one or the other. They don't know, we
don't know. Here's the thing, man, So uh, you see Jay
Bradley and you see Brian Cage standing next to each other in the middle of
the ring. Um, you know, Jay Bradley, I'm a big I'm
a big larious guy as we know. Yeah, And I and Jay Bradley,
for whatever was worth him and Brian Cage did have a very good match
on impact. So Jay Bradley definitely a good work or two. But in
the time where TENA like needed something big, we're in times of war,
they're SI, yeah, you gotta fire back. So uh, you know,
in a time of need for TEENA to get some buzz, um,
you know, getting an obvious indie guy that's got a lot of buzz right
now. Brian Cage on the TV show and then signing them probably would have
been the right fucking play to make, um, you know, and then
you could sign like I said, you could sign Jay Bradley later and bring
him in. He's a fucking great talent. I think the momentum from gut
check to Brian Cage would have done a lot more than the momentum to Jay
Bradley. Just because you guys can't realize Jay Bradley gets picked here, it's
a load of dog shit. And if you're wondering like, okay, maybe
you know, maybe they took a gamble and a lesser known guy and they
were just trying to make them their guy. Well, Jay Bradley's fired the
year after this does nothing, does nothing at all, um. And the
reason that Jay Bradley got hired is because Bruce Pritchard knew him longer. That's
I believe that. Yeah, that's exactly what he says. Bruce says,
Jay, I've known you for years, I watched you for years, and
the crowd is sitting in the background going boom. He has adacity to say,
well, you know, at least start giving you some sort of reaction.
Oh my Bradley, let's all right, let's let's go over and properly
here, all right, So Bruce, they said, Jab says, only
one of you go on to face the judges, Bruce Pritchet, I will
make decisions. So Bruce Pritchet. Upton said, that was one of the
best gut check matches that we ever had. We haven't had a good match
on this show in six months. Thank you guys so much for going out
there and doing that. We appreciate it a lot. He says. The
only one you can go on to see if they can get a contract.
So it's one only one can get the contract. Tony Okay. Hell of
an effort, Jay, But being victorious wasn't the only thing we were looking
for. Brian. You got all the tools, big pop from the crowd,
huge, they were going nuts, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. You
are eliminated. What crowd like deflat, I think this was like this was
the first time he was finding it out right, like this was for shoot.
I think for I think it was that's how they would shoot. Yeah,
I remember Brian Cage talking. I don't know if you ever you probably
know this, James, but I think he said like he was already going
to sign a contract TNA, but they were just trying to fast track him
to do the gut check thing. They said, you'll get on TV if
you do the gut check thing, and so he did the gut checking thicket.
Yeah, that've going to TA And then they did this ship and they
told him right there, yeah, you're not the guy. You're not that
guy. He eventually gets there. It's just you know, yeah, later,
you are not that guy. You're right, and like he's a completely
different wrestler by that time. Yea, he even get his words out.
He's not brand Cage. You got all the tools, You're fired the fuck
out here the crystal cheer they have bean like process shit. But you never
figured out that he's gone until he walks out of the ring and they're like
whoa, hey yeah. So Jab said, we're gonna face the judges and
you're gonna need a majority vote. If you get no from any of the
judges, we're gonna ga be a chance to kick out third and a kickout
in gut check is you get thirty seconds on the mic to plead your case.
Taz immediately says no. Tight Brian Cage. He says the judge decisions,
so for me, it's a no. Uh. And Jay he got
thirty seconds to kick out. So Bradley gets booed before he talks and he
says, dadd you talking about guys humping the highways. I humped so many
highways. I probably owe a few child support one aunt. He should have
gotten the mike back and said that's a super no, brother. That's where
the crowds going boom. They got some reaction and Jay Bradley's talking about being
trained by the best and he said, uh, one match last week,
me my boomstick were trending on Twitter worldwide. He said, I'm not gonna
draw a guy to do is let me in. Oh dude, the boomstick
was trending because everyone's like this boomstick guy sucks hired Brian Cage. Why did
the boomstick idiot? That's why I fuck booms. I definitely contributed to that.
What the fucking a boomstick? Everyone was shucked his boomstick guy probably had
he blocks me for we're still blocks by Brad Bradlinson. We're still black,
dude. I can't believe you know, ten fucking years later, ten fucking
years later, this is still an all time t and a bad decision.
Sucks for fucking Jay Bradley because he's not a bad worker. He's not a
bad worker. But they fucked you, man, They fucked you because for
ten years all I ever thought was fucked that guy. I can't read that.
Fuck you ruined Gage's career shit for years because of you. Man.
Oh my god, So I can't imagine the tweets he was getting at the
time. Fuck, he was nuts, right, I'll kill you for all
sounds right. Chuck Taylor tweeting Jake Browning fu just because he wanted fucking over
a guy. We liked the b to BG, but this was real.
I don't call bro Twitter. You fucking dudes were making out of the trenches
yet, man, dudes were not. We were holding out there. We
were hoping for anything. We were hoping for anything, anything. Bray tweeting
the President Bradley Dixie. Dixie got a fucking at least the cage. I
know his ass got eaten up. Crazy, Oh my god, I know
his ass got He was Okay, where is where does this go? After
that? Holy shit? So you al says listen, he showed great talents
go on the ring. The crowd is channing. You know, please know
well, Al says, my answer is yes, dumb Bruce, Bruce Pritchard.
This is the worst decision anyone's ever made. Bradley. I'm not sorry,
bride Cage, What the fuck didn't you? Brince Bridget says Jay.
Listening to the crowd and at least they care. Oh my god, you're
going to hell. You're going to hell. At least they care is the
worst thing they seen it. Dude. That Yeah, that felt like a
Vice line. Dude, you got Bruce Bridge, come on, come on,
come on, I spent business ship on you. Gail came tweet that
from the locker room, Jeff Harden stage. Remember when they had ten dudes
like tweeting from the TV show James fucking piece of ship treading worldwide? Oh,
he said, the crowds, you know, at least they care.
You got guts and passion, And my answer is yes. And everyone is
pissed, especially the president. Yeah, George Bush was gone, man,
Obama. George Bush came out retirement, tweeted Jay Bradley, You asshole.
Verified. Barack Obama says, you asshole. Blue check Bill Clinton from jail.
It's three. Al Gore is saying, what the fuck is a boomstick?
I'm shutting into that down, What the hell is a boomstick? There
was a cultural shift between and Ja, Brad, Lisa and Sarah said weren't
done twenty Gianna. Michael said, fuck Lisa, Oh my god, I'm
gonna it's the last day for me because yeah, here, let's go over
his fucking run. How about that? So he fucking wins, fucking gut
check. He returned. This is January. He uh, he returns in
May, beats Christian York, and then June second, he beats Sam Shaw.
Uh yeah, he is, and he loses all of his Bound for
Glory series matches, and then he uh uh beats Joseph Park, finishing eleventh
out of ten other wrestlers in the tournaments. And then January thirteenth, twenty
fourteen, he's released. So one year exactly, he's released. Did nothing?
Did nothing? Man? What ruined the company? Jesus, um No,
it's not your fault yet, Bruce Pritchard ruined your career. Yeah,
but you had to you had to pay, You had to pay. Yeah,
there had to be fucking repercussions, you understand. Okay, now we
can talk about a little bit so at the time yet to remember the year.
So like you know, now if you look at it from context and
now, not signing Brian Cage is not the end of the one, it
doesn't matter. It's not actually everyone gets signed now, it's not what it
doesn't matter. Twenty thirteen weird like six months removed from three minutes three,
which was like the breakout show for for PWG to like the main stream,
like outside of the ind As I said at the top, no one signed
yet still like Generico only just got signed. The only guys that got out
of the indies were Punk, Brian and Matt Sidel. Yeah right, so
yeah, the style of sling has not changed it. PWG changed a lot
of stuff like that era PWG like at three four years they had their changed
a lot of things. Twenty fifteen, PG was was pretty influential on on
wrestling as a whole. Now you could probably yeah, you probably put allowing
that on the Bucks. Probably they probably helped change the last Adam Cole was
a big part of it. Steen in Generico sure, um, a lot
of those guys that were at the top of PWG like just changed stuff forever,
and and we hadn't really started like mass exodus signing guys yet. Um.
You know, for the most part, indie guys were still you know,
pieces of shit. Y X is not I don't even NXT is Like,
I don't even know if it comes up. I think it's coming up.
It's just about to happen. Ok. Yeah. So like at this
point, like you know, w B and you know, and why wild
enough TNA looked at indie guys as lesser than less than They didn't think much
of the style. No, they didn't think much of the guys. Um.
And you know, look at who you know, look at who was
running fucking DNA, you know. So yeah, it's not surprising which sing
got just as right. It was just the guy from w B is now
running Tena's talent. Yeah if you if you, if you haven't been through
w shit really is what it was. Yeah, Um, And you know,
at a time where TENA probably needed some buzz, and at a time
where Tina had a real people wanted an alternative so bad. That's what a
fucking indie in an American legion hall was like. Making massive waves across the
entirety of wrestling as like a whole, and like PWG was like these things
got shared like wildfire, Like this is like you never a lot of people
had never seen anything like the ship they were doing at time. You know,
if you watch indie stuff, like you know, if you watch Rowas,
Noah whatever, you know whatever, you maybe you saw a lot of
this stuff. But they're like, you know, ham and egging fucking longer,
fucking going nuts matches all the time like that. It just wasn't happening.
So like in a time where you could have signed Brian Cage and like
Cage was like an undercard PWG guy at the time, but he was good,
but he had something. Yeah, right, he was good and you
could have signed him and used that style for the X Division and the Exhivision
needed it needed a boost and I swear to god, yeah, Arvidio's exhibition
champ. By the way, at this time, it's bad, knockouts is
bad. Everything's bad. Is set for the main event scene and TNA at
the time, like Aries and Rude are there. Aries is like not doing
X stuff at the time. They're doing all like top of the card type
of stuff. James storms there too. The undercard needed something and it needed
something bad and and you know, Jay Browley was not the answer. Brian
Cage was the answer, because you have a guy that can go out there,
start shows, go nuts you, I promise you, the people and
TNA had not seen a guy that was no like Brian Cage didn't have the
at this point, his bump card was still relatively good and like he could
you could have asked him to go out there and do eight and he could
have gave you the craziest age Brian does from the out to the end,
and that was called it was the inside. That's crazy thing I've ever seen
my life. Like they've never seen that. You ain't even seen half of
this, dude, Like it's crazy, man, you haven't even seen nothing.
Yeah. So that's why I wanted to just make sure everybody understood,
was that like in a time where they could have been so ahead of the
fucking curve. I mean, they could have been so ahead of the curve.
They and they had the dude, they could have asks Generico. They
had a bunch of fucking dudes, Jigsaw Jigsaw, all doing tryouts and they
passed on all of them except and you know they get the bucks, but
like, look what the changed, Yeah, dude, especially in an era
where like they were like just kind of bringing guys in and not changing them
too much. They were just letting them be those guys. Like and a
time, you know, t Anda for teenage was still on Spike. Teenage
was still doing a you know, a million viewers pretty average um, eight
hundred thousand and a million UM. And like the people that were working PWG
wanted to work TENA. It's not like they didn't want to work to Yeah.
You know, Seth Rollins almost signed there type when he was Tyler Black,
but Jim Cornette stopped him. Um, El Jannarico is going to sign
a TNA. T JP has been a TENA for a couple of times,
and he was about to come back. Uh, you know, all the
guys who talked about Moxy was there. All these guys had tryouts and they
passed on a whole generation of guys that just a few years later changed the
landscape of WWA. Fucking shit. Yeah exactly, they change it all And
they were right there because TNA had Bruce Pritchard, Al Snow and Dixie Carter
and like Hogan and Hogan and like they just didn't get it and they and
they still and I'll be honest with most of them probably still don't get it.
And I'm sure they justify it. They'll do so. Yeah, So
this is why this like in the you know, in context now Brian Kay's
being Ja Brawley probably doesn't mean too much, but in the context of how
the business slowly changed over the next few years, this was a had astrophic,
fucking drum ball drop if I've ever seen one a day of my life.
Um, unbelievable that they they passed on Brian Cage at this point,
and you know, just a few years earlier, they fucking let go of
Pete Williams and Jay Lethal. They weren't even thirty years old, yet they
dropping dudes like flies for no reason. You know. I told the story
before how I reached out to PD because he got released. I was like,
what the fuck did you get released? Because Twitter was different? But
then I just how did you get released for? And he was like,
I really don't know. That's brutal. He wasn't even thirty yet, he
was like twenty eight or something. Twenty nine. You know guys that could
have that. You know, we see him in ROH. You know Jay
Lethal you know, was a big part of ROH is like John there for
a while. Yeah, he was the guy for a minute. Yeah,
he was like world in TV Champ Tag Chambers eight time or multiple Yeah,
the longest reigning jam all. So like they passed on so many guys and
it's so weird to go back and watch that. Like the guys in TNA
were like Jeff Hardy and r v D and Chava Guerrero when like they had
they had it all. Oh oh yeah, you knew, Like I know
they talked about it later. But when RVD was an exhibition champion, it's
like, what is going on here? He had to run back RVD and
Jerry Lynn again. It's just like, look, guys, it was cool
full metal mehem Lynn and RVD was a cool you know, that was a
cool gimmick. Um, I've seen a lot yeah CW you know what I
mean. They were in seeing it. And then they were a lot younger
back then too. It was cool for the time. But yeah, and
then like Chavo was like the Tag Champ. Chavo was a big part of
the exhibition for a minute too. And it's just you know, as you're
watching the ship, you know, like the stuff that we're watching on the
side is fucking PWG and shit, and they're going on, I'm fucking going
for pg DVDs to watching fucking t Anda. At the time, I'm like,
there's no reason TENA is not doing this. Yeah, have all that
they could have stolen, all they should have stolen forby even got a clue.
Yeah yeah, yeah, So that's that's why it was like a pretty
that's why we are so so weird. It's like you ever seen that domino
meme where like you push the one thing and then like and yes, so
not signing Brian Cage is the little domino that leads a wop and signed is
why AW exists. You're really like that one little giving push just fucking goes
crazy man, that h you know. And like I said, Jay Brobably
not even bad. You got played a bad hand Brot. Sorry, yeah
you will pay. Yeah, you have to pay. It seems like you've
paid enough. Actually you probably paid a lot. It's been ten years,
so yeah, maybe people don't forget we're not ready to give it up.
People don't forget no way, um but there. Yeah, so as usual,
Tas was right, Bronta Tas does it again. They show a graphic
for the Bully ray Brook wedding of course that keep showing up throughout the night.
And then we go on to a match. I enjoyed this match,
Christian York versus Kenny King. Christian York looks and fucking huge. He he
looks awesome on Genesis. Uh. York and Kenny King faced off your countered
Kenny King and beat him and then Kenny King him with a burning hammer.
So that's why we got the rematch. Here. Kenny King's music is also
fucking insane here. I don't even know how to describe. Yeah, yeah,
Kenny King. Kenny King was pretty hot at the time, all right,
Kenny, if I remember correct, Kenny King decided not to resign with
Roah to go to TNA uh and then you know what they did. He
was tag champion, yeah with uh with rhet rhet titus. Yeah, he
was tag champion. And then like they said, hey, I'm pretty sure
you like maybe gave him a verbal. I don't even know if they knew
he was like he just went to yeah, and then they had to like
take the belts off him or whatever. Um, yeah, this match was
fun, man, Christian New York looks great. Here Kenny King tries to
throw York into the post, he stops himself and then drops Kenny with a
clothesline. It sounded awesome. I don't know if you noticed. By the
way throughout this whole show, even Earl Hebner does this, the ref count
cadence is way faster. Yeah it is. It is for sure super fast.
Yeah, I don't know. That was definitely like somebody told them to
do that. I don't know why though. Um, Christian York does reverse
ten punches in the corner. He announce something from behind and bunges in the
back of the head like he's choata kicking, he's chopping, I said,
Christian New York. Hoally ship Yeah everything. Yeah, um, you know
this was this was exhibition match by the way, it was yes, um,
which is you know ye the xhivisions style. Yeah, very lost but
yeah, yeah, you remember they were doing a triple threats only for a
while with the ref came on the head, the ref cam, the X
camera whatever they called it, excam there's so many and everything was green all
of a sudden when you mentioned it. Yeah, that's right. There was
a that's right. I guess some people, I guess we'll talk about it.
But yeah, there was a point in TNA where exhibition matches were only
triple threats, and they also mounted a camera on the referees head and it
was the excam and that was You didn't watch the whole match to that,
but they were definitely cut to it often, and I was like, this
is fucking disorienting. No, he did. W W had a what was
it sold out? They had a ref camera week camera, but then had
one. Right, yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, um York eventually uh
fucking catches Kenny King out of the air cradle back suplexism, which is cool.
He goes for a burning hammer, but Kenny King rakes his eyes and
rolls him up with the tights for the wind. Fun, fun, fucking
match. They couldn't have gone seven, you're right? Um, So Bully
Ray asked Sting to tell Hulk Hogan to be by his daughter's side tonight for
the wedding. This is a ridiculous situation, so Bully looks for staying here
he finds Sting, who is at a very long staircase opening a gate at
the bottom of the staircase that has a big sign that says danger on Sting
about to just what were you doing? I thought he was D's still good.
Well, Bully start his Hey, you're the only guy that trusts me
here and tonight. It's a huge knight for me. The only thing that'll
make her happy is having her father walker down the aisle. I can't talk
to Hulk. You won't listen to me. Please talk him and Stings.
That's the only way we're gonna get the pop bro. No one guys a
less ulsters there. Yeah, you gotta have Stink says listen because what you
mean to me. I'll try. I'm gonna try. I'll try it for
you. So he's gonna try to talk to Holkster about taking his daughter down
the aisle. M hmm. Well, Taz is at the commentary desk and
he says it's gonna be Yeah. I gotta get the fuck out of here,
man, because you know Tommy Dreamer is gonna eat all the food and
I gotta get out of here. Spike left. Hopefully, Spike left beer
for everyone else and hopefully dreaming any old food. And after we got the
camera, I'm gonna go for a low while and out the human best Man
machine right here and tests I fucking I can't wait till smile. Yeah,
there's Yeah, it's bad. Back to his segment, Austin Aries is putting
on a tie and decides that he is not a tie guy. He's I'm
not wearing a stupid tie or shirt and Bobby Roe comes, you're talking to
yourself, he says, yeah, he said, you look good, but
it looks like you're missing something that the world title. Huh, because Bobby's
posing in front of the camera or in front of the mirror. He's is
missing the world title because they both were in a triple threat match at pay
per view for the world title and they both lost to Jeff Hardy. Yes,
they both arguing, and Rout says, oh, well, who who's
the one that screw to me? You? You? You? So they
go back and forth and they are He says, listen, you know what,
I'm gonna the celebration for everybody. Here's celebration for Brooke and Bullion,
the celebration for Jeff Hardy. Where's our celebration. We've been carrying this place
for over a year. He says, I'm gonna wear all black, and
Rout said you can't wear all black at our funeral. He says, I'm
gonna wear all black and you wear bruces. Well, I'm gonna wear this.
I wasn't even invited. He says, all right, well we're gonna
go. We got a few objections. So this is the I didn't realize.
This is the start of their tech team. Yeah that's right. Uh,
dirty heels or dirty heels? Wait? All right, dirty dogs is
w w E dirty heels? Dirty heels? Right? Right? Um?
So guy runs up the Hulk in the parking lot TML style with a camera
job. Yes, for an hour. His daughter is getting married. Is
a whole key here for the wedding night, year for the wedding. You're
gonna get brick away a night at the wedding and Hulk looks at me.
He says, go find something better than he's done. A cameraman whose job
is to film things, to go do something better and get the camera out
of here. Get the camera out of here, dude, I'll kill you
because Jay Bradley got signed. Dude and I gotta brother boomstick. Maybe he's
gone, dude. I guess we'll talk about it on I think I'm gonna
take the boomstick, dude, and when I take it, I mean I'm
gonna take it from him. Actually, we got a call from Hunter Hendley,
from that guy sh Jay brad Bread, so I got we got backstage.
Bully says, Dreamer looks like double O seven double nine. Maybe his
Tess he's backs was not on the commentary booth. I guess. I guess
they had to tell us that Tas is going off the desk, so it
made sense for him to go back. Or they always had a spoon and
tells everything. You're right, we could not explain why that Tads is just
in the wedding and be in the wedding. We had to do this whole
ship beforehand. Uh So Tads walks in and dreams is all? Where's the
black and orange lighting? And bullies is all? You got your entrance music
to ban test I'm working, working, Tess says, uh so, no
Paul and bullies. I called him and he said he'd called me back,
and then everyone in the room says, in five minutes, I guess that
was a classic people back. You know, I like that. I'm calling
you, telling you and dreams seriously. Bro is Hulk on the show,
and Bully says, listen, Broke as a rerex. She's been texting me.
Yeah, I watched the show. He's in the park a lot.
He's too as he helping Spike does to put his shoes on. He's gotta
yeah, this rude looks crazy. It's all fucked up and like the walls
of yard looks like one of those apartments you go to when you're like seventeen
to get blacked out. Furniture, a couch of TV. Uh yeah,
So he's uh, he says, you know, I want I want to
Hogan there, he's I don't know, trus listening. He's got to squash
the heat bro and Bull. He says, listen. I begs thing to
talk to him, and I hope he does. But Hogs on here.

Hall up next, um Stings sidetron is him turning and making her Dude,
it's like it's tawe. Yeah, it's just worries like Cologram Sting. Yeah,
speaking of that, whoever said, uh, you said Sting is Jim
Carrey. I cannot unsee that as I was exact and everything. At least
you think he got it's just a crazy coincidence, or you think he got
any inspiration trouble. I don't know Jim carry guy. Jim Carrey got like
popular like ninety nine, so like maybe not. I don't know Staing,
uh, because that's why I mean, that's a w W where I feel
like I noticed he was more like Jim Carrey. Yeah, I mean yeah
probably then yeah, you're probably right. But the original Sting No, I
don't think no, no way, no, no, no not crow Sting

nine. Sting was very Jim Carrey. H So Sting comes out to talk
to Hogan in the ring Hulk Cogan comes out the pyro for this guy.
Holy fog is unreal. He's a grumpy old man and he stands their arms
folding, and it's gonna used to meme this up. So crazy man,
the Hogan pirro, it had to be crazy expensive. Just stole everybody else's.
He stole AJ's pyro. Does anyone else on this episode get pyro?

always one step ahead of Bruce Pritchard's right, Dude, I could not trust
Bully Ray, dude, but I can't tell you why I read the Sheep

part of the dude. I went on Bubba Love Sponge dude to me not

punkers his lips out big time, combined with the yeah, he's going for
a kiss, but he's it's great for audio podcast and I'm not on video.
You should, dude, that's not having a brother, because I read

You know how many people you know this? I feel like he's looking.
He's trying to grab his phone out of his you know the fucking social media

social media is saying that I'm right. He pulls out his phone. Here
goes you know, my brother. They are really rush and J Bradley's ass

crazy social media right down, dude, he sees his works. What does
this mean? Dude said he would kick your ass. Dude right here.
I don't know the social media thing, but everyone's Hogans right. Don't let
your guard down, brother, don't trust bully. And that's also what the
run she Center earlier pulled out his fright, pulled his phone out and had
to can't fund racy camera and he said, I would know there is a
social brother. Understand this, dude, well, uh, his thing says,
well, hogans, as far as I'm concerned, brother, I will

this for Brooke and the crowd shame do it. Do it? And Hogan
says, listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you, and I'm telling everyone

never done the right thing ever, You've never in your life, for he
has shown you never have done the two thousand times you were wrong. Tell
and even when even when you did do the right thing, like put Warrior
over that ended up being the wrong the wrong thing always in for. Uh
So. Now we go backstage and Gail Kim is talking to Tern Terrell,
who is the knockouts referee. Yes, and I love her. Gail Kim
says, hey, you blew my fucking magic Genesis. Look I got my
dude, big ass iPad. She says, hell, have you been here?
And Terence is six mid minutes five seconds. Dale says, well,
I've been rustling thirteen years. I want to show you that you fucked up
my magic Genesis, big ass iPad. And it's not even it's like a
clipped version she went through in screen record. I don't even know screen recording
was a thing in twenty thirteen on a screen that was actually an iPhone.
That's just how big they were in twenty thirteen. I don't know to use
second iPad SEGM it uh so, yeah, cli of Gail having her foot
under the rope in her match with Velvet Sky and Tiffany not seeing this.
Tiffany is Terran Terrell. Yes, she was what she did, she was
easy to be GM. Yeah. Now she's the knockouts referee. Now she's
knockouts referee. Little did we know back then that Gail Kim and Tera Durell
would have maybe the best knockout match. After dude, they would change the
scene back dude normal for a minute. Yeah, Gail Kim is the good
I don't care. She's so fucking good. I wish you would wrestle for
us. I feel like she can still. Oh my god, I bet
you, dude, Oh my god, her and Emmy would be unblockable.
Tell me you take at least one, just one. We got a crazy
match, man, Yeah please. Gil says, well, thank god I
got a rematch from Brooke Hogan, and Tiffany says, well, she's busy,
but yes, you got to match it. I promised to call it
right down the middle, and Gil says it better be all right. Well,
now we gotta pretape a bully ray at the bachelor party, Rix Cabaret
there at which is like a famous like I always heard that on Howard Stern
they would talk about Rick Cabaret. I also believe that TMZ reported on this
at the time, because I remember I only remember that because Eddie Kingston was
at this party, and this is like we're like right up to Chakar dying
Chicard's about to die and Eddie Kingston's at a bachelor party. So I'm very
confused. I'm a very confused teenager. What the fuck is going on here?
Get out of the party. Is dying security? They stopped, Daddy,
What the fuck are you doing? It's killing the business. It's Wickamre
is fucking shit up and they're both oh yeah yeah, bachelor party. He's
curling women. He was curly women many Yeah, yeah, of course.
Um, so we got Gail Kim versus Velvet Sky up next. Um,
Gail is the goat once Gain's good. You know, just make sure everybody
who says that Gail please have a book and email. Please take one more
match. I'm begging please, we got we got the matchup you want.
I you know, she carried the entire division for three four years here.
I mean she was like it, like she was everything in this division.
She's only had Sky shook her ass on the ropes though that was cool in
a full full outfit here, full body outfit. Yeah, I remember the
shack ass. And then you know, and then uh Tonay and Todd both
uh fight over who is going to do the tast spot and then they both
decided they don't want to skill. Yeah, come on bro, yeah man,
uh well, Gail and tearin. Like I said, you know,
it's funny looking at this now, this might even lead to that I don't
remember it does. Yeah, that's Anniversary, I believe. Yeah, fucking
god fantastic cut her off the stage. I watch that at a theater.
I was at like a movie theater to watch Anniversary, and uh, you
know, seeing that there, I was like, oh, pretty, it's
like the coolest Maire scene. Yeah. Um, velvet hits a scorpion,
death drop, spin out, facebuster, dude, Okay, I wanted to
write down here for that. I wrote, she fucking did like a sitout,
rolling the dice between the legs, sit out. Yeah, of course
it's not a finish. By the way, that is not a finish,
but Todd says, all that looked like her finish it. There's also someone
in the front row who I think is in the front row for these shows
for a very long time, and like, yes, it's like it's like
O G W W sting face paint and he's always in the fin when he's
distracting as hell. Yeah, like oh shit, but yeah, she hits
a sitout rolling dice and then the sit out pedigree for the way your face
in your face? Right, what's in your face? Yeah? Well see
Velvet beats Gail can that's where you will because they did the spot where a
foot was under the rope. Of course, yeah, you're gonna die.
You said that, right, did you say that part? Uh? Well
she be here in the sun of the ring this time, but yeah,
they did call it back in mid Yeah, Gale here with each defeat.
Uh, Tiffany is in position for Velvet. Uh to catch Velvet putting her
foot under the rope like she didn't catch Gale doing at the paper home.
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So now
it's time for the arias in Rudetown Hall. Well, you're gonna ignore Dixie
Carter and Brooke Hogan brother, Oh my god, I do right. Dixie
invested, Yeah, you got any money we got you. You will bring
in any x because you love Ken. Come on, we want to do
here, please, we want to do it so bad. Dixie says,
you look so beautiful, my god. And the last March we just started
to talk about you coming in here, and now this is happening. We
and everyone was super upset, and uh, we derailed the entire division and
we got this main event. So well, Dix said, no matter what
happens to night, you know your dad loves you. And then they hug
all right, so yeah, okay, ari's a rude town hall. Uh.
They were not invited to the wedding of course. Oh my god,
oh no, that's not that mean they were not They were not invited.
They did. Um. They they're touching all the gifts when they come out.
Nobody, we never see what's the gifts. No gifts. It's the
baby. It's the little baby in the ag styles off. That was a
whole different hour. Got the little baby was basis Zelda. They grabbed the
baby. Eventually grabbed the baby. They do the arm. We haven't watched
him. Okay, yeah, super fuck crazy crazy. We talked about it
all another episode or whatever. Age you said. The only reason the angle
didn't work was because she was ugly, because she wasn't. She should have
been a dog shit angle. They wrote it the angle. She was gonna
come at smoking hot, she was gonna be a ten. The angle.
That's fucking insane. That is he went and had fucking crazy matches with Yeah,
that's why, because of the angle ruined his life. Yeah so arias
of Rudetown hall Um. Rude is very good at talking, and Ari's very
good at talking, very good, and his god, damn you want to
air he's got damn what the fuck? Aries? You were like you were
like crimed for like ten more years of fucking sweet indie bookings. You fucking
ruin. Oh man, uh and Rude fucking wasted ten years in w doing
nothing. Fuck man. At least he got taken, which is my least
favorite thing to say about. I know, I know you got paid good
so cool um. Aries and Rude both carried TENA for years. Here is
the promo idea, and now TEENA is going backwards, which is correct.
I mean, yeah, you're right they take. All the great moments of
twenty twelve was thanks to them too, and it's fucking true. This is
the worst to lie promo. Yeah you're Rude's fucking heavyweight run where staying fucking
back dropped himself into a Rude was using the fucking bottle the whole time,
and then Aries cashes in the fucking belt and fu decition next twenty twelve is
so it is so fucking good. Um yeah, wow was that Holy shit,
we are already passed the Jigsaw stuff and all that shit too, right
because they were they were using okay, so twenty twelve. It's in between
this, yeah right, okay, um crazy good run for them for a
minute though, they like decided you use indie guys, and they said,
oh never mind, yeah, yeah, never mind. Yeah, because it
was like sun Jay uh Trent uh rubis that he got you got a puzzle.
He could not understand the puzzle thing. He couldn't figure it out for
life of him, so they ripped him for three years. Um. So
Ari's is spitting here. He says, you know you got rv D.
Chava Guerrera, Jeff Hardy. It's like we're fucking doing nothing. Uh,
you know, this is all just real stuff. This is exactly he was.
Just reading the goddamn boards is pretty much what this was. I'm pretty
sure probably Pritchers. I'm just like read the boarding comments fans and uh they
say they object to the wedding. Uh. And then of course the tag
team Champions of the World, uh Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez. Well, because
Ari says, you know, he says, I feel like the company took
ten step ten years in the past. You got people like rvdas Exhibition Champ.
Devon is a TV Champ, Chavon Hernandez is the Tag Champs, and
of course the Golden Child Jeff Hardy is the World Champ. And it makes
me see I feel like that. James at the top of the show,
by the way, just yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're
right, I'm saying. So Chava and Hernandez come out and says, you
got objections. We object Also, let it me know that the Tag Champs
also object We don't object to the wedding. We object to your objections.
And Aria says, oh, you object our objections, and Job says,
yes, there's a reason you're not champions in this country, company, the
world for the world. Aria says, listen, we should go back to
your objection of our objections, because on top of those objections, I have
an objection and I didn't know that wedding carters could object to anything. And
then Bobby Ruth says, who has Mexican at a wedding as Jesus Christ,
Well, he wants at Casadilla's Casadillas and Aries wants burrito, but it has
to be vegans. He doesn't mean you don't know he was vegan. At
this point, I guess I didn't even like the downfall at the beginning of
You're right, you promise ring is really the promise? Yeah, well,
Chavo punches Arias in the head, probably cet eat them out here. Hernandez
bumps Rude. Hernandez then goes to border tossed Aries, but Rude makes the
save and they powder out, of course, setting up for I imagine Arias
and Rude getting a tacnnels. Yeah, I assume that's where they go.
I can't imagine. Yeah, I can't imagine that. God please, yeah,
I'll go Look you continued, all right, So what I wanted to
say here was there's a line that Aries said, uh that I just want
to make sure that we covered here. It was, is there's a reason
you guys are He said, you you're not champs in this country. He
said, yeah, there are a lot of reasons, but we're not gonna
get into those right now. It was a really good, good quip there.
Arias was always super quick on this, and then I always like to
go around back to uh, whenever we get to talk about Arias and TNA
to the Alex Shelley promo where Alex Shelley said he would rather get a stool
and a noose than watch Alls and Areas rather and he's chewing gum, super
super crazy. Yeah, fully on the record. By the way, I
let the record show we love Alan Shelley and we really like Alex Shelley.
We absurdly like Alex Shelley. So just let the people know that one ruden
Aries do win the titles. Uh, I think I like it looks like
a week after this, that's awesome. Oh you know what that was a
big deal too. That was that because that English show was like sold out
crazy well James, Uh, then they lose it in April in Corpus Christy's
Texas in a two out of three falls match. Guess who they lost them
too. It's gotta be Hernandez and it can't be Chabo. Yeah that teams
are is it? Is it? It is Chabo Guerrero. I thought they
moved on and like, yeah, well Gunner and James Daring won him after
that. Okay, well that's a shitty team too, so yeah, all
right, yeah, all right. So Hogan is talking his team backstage about
Bully um and he's a he's having six with my daughter, dude. And
that's my picture of me and my kid. Dude, this is Brooke.
Can you recognize her? Then? All the bad stuff I try to keep
away from, dude, this isn't about Bully. He's not a bad guy
unless the script says so. But we're right now, We're on the same
person, ude, And from its right, brother, looks like I'm supposed

behind her and she's not too happy because of course her father, her on

she takes a few steps, she looks back again, not there, and
then all of a sudden, the crowd erupts because I'll go gets here,

the side, like no clips in a dude, there's that too. Here's
my dad, dude. Oh my god, you're here, dude. Thanks,

this show. She is the star show. Episode revolves around here already,
so they he walks her down, and all they get in the ring the
crowd wants Hogan is shake bully raised hand, but he does not do it.
Uh and the priest asks who presents this woman, and Hogan says,
I do, dude, at least the script tells me to do. The
priest says Brooke and Mark, and then goes through his whole thing, and
you might express the love you have for one another with your vowels, and
Brook says Mark. I can't believe it we're doing this. You came into
my life like I'll burst the light and I finally could trust someone and I'm
safe and you're my best friend and you definitely know how to make me laugh
and everyone like pops for that, and then it just cuts to a shot
of Hogan rubbing the fucking angle so pissed behind them. What do you mean,
dude, what do you mean him? Brother So's rubbing his food man
shoe, glaring at them. Then Mark says Brooke, I was gonna write
some shit down, but I said she deserves more than words on a paper.
From the moment I made late eyes on you, I knew you were
the one, and I'm I'm happy. I'm happier when I'm around you,
and I freaking love you. So the priest says, is there anyone among
you, among us that has just caused that these two individuals shouldn't be legally
married? Speak now or forever? Hold your piece and the crowds of course,
everybody, Doyle, this Brian cage should have been in the wedding.
You're right, so priest says, I'll take that as a note. Is
as you got the rings? And they both give each other rings, And
do you Brooke take Mark to be your husband? She says, I do?
And do you Mark take brook Te for your wife? And he says
I do. And they give each other rings, and the priest says,
by the power invested, and then Tad steps up to the plate. He
snatches them from the hold on, hold on, brough hold on, brother,
just step back down. Hold on. He's just like fucking like pushing
everyone away from the scene, pushing the priest, telling every hey back up,
Bronna, hold on, Brona. I got two questions. I can't
take this. Listen. I know you a long time. We're like brought
us. He looks at Brook just hold on, hold on, Brona.

You want to do this, he said, that's the first question,
I or if you want to do this. The second question is is it
just me? Or is it frigging hot here? He's very slowly peels off
the jaggie interrupted a wedding for this question. Is it frigging hot in here?
Or is it just me? Takes off the jacket he's so the camera's
facing him. He takes off his jacket and the crowd behind him all goes
oh. I'm like, what the When this first happened, I was like,

very slowly, turns around and he's wearing an Aces and Aid's best losing their
mind. Hogan said, go go go, you guys, go, dude,
go, Aces and Aids swarm the ring, fucking start attacking everybody.
Dude, watching this back, even when I watched the live Watching this back,

episode dedicated to building him. They could have fit some more matches on this
some bitch, but Ace and AD's come out. They kill everybody. Hogan's

broke on the outside, just yelling random shit at her. You're daddy,

just a statue. Fucking porcelain hits the when everyone's laid out, and
then they let Brook go. Brook runs up to the apron a check on
her dad, and you can very I didn't. I thought they would edit
it out for some reason. I don't remember it as vividly as I hear
it here. But she's like checking on her dad and she leans over and
she says, my boobs around. Why you tell your dad where she showed
me your boobies like those where she's holding she's holding it. I guess,
I guess where where's the movies? Ducks and Gallus? Was the fucking either
