<v Speaker 2>Dah right, Jesus God.
<v Speaker 1>All right, let us get into WCW Saturday Night for
<v Speaker 1>April fourth, nineteen ninety two. I believe this is the
<v Speaker 1>very first episode of Saturday Night ever and I would
<v Speaker 1>never annunciate Saturday right.
<v Speaker 2>That's okay, It's it's really about a feeling, and that's
<v Speaker 2>what WW was all about, just bringing you the feeling
<v Speaker 2>of what a Saturday Night would be.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, dude, I'm from the South too, and like this
<v Speaker 1>is where WCW was from. There's no way they that
<v Speaker 1>Ted Turner said Saturday Night. He always thought it WCW Saturday.
<v Speaker 2>Night, Sadder Saturday. Yeah, So from what I understand, and
<v Speaker 2>do not quote me on this, I believe that this
<v Speaker 2>show had existed for quite some time in this you know,
<v Speaker 2>the time slot here on Saturday nights was a very
<v Speaker 2>important one in pro wrestling, especially on Turner. This show
<v Speaker 2>was originally just called World Championship Wrestling, and then they
<v Speaker 2>decided to give it a fresh coat of paint called
<v Speaker 2>WCW Saurday Night. Give a new look, new feel, new this,
<v Speaker 2>that and the other. And that's what we're checking out here,
<v Speaker 2>the very first WCW Saturday Night. But before we get
<v Speaker 2>into that, let's talk about what was going on in
<v Speaker 2>the world wrestling at the time with the Wrestling Observer
<v Speaker 2>news letter from The Observer March thirtieth, nineteen ninety two.
<v Speaker 2>Everyone's on steroids. Every steroid scandal ever is happening right now.
<v Speaker 2>My favorite wrestler's on steroids, all of them cool. Every
<v Speaker 2>company is trying to implement drug policies now because the
<v Speaker 2>government's coming.
<v Speaker 1>Oh right, they say wrestling is too good.
<v Speaker 2>Everyone looks too sweet, so we gotta shut that down.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, everyone's on steroids and then the Undertaker debut
<v Speaker 2>in Japan. Meltzer says he'd been there a few years ago.
<v Speaker 2>Is Punisher Dice Morgan for New Japan which was the
<v Speaker 2>highlight of the recently completed tour. I didn't I only
<v Speaker 2>know if Undertaker in Japan because I saw I don't
<v Speaker 2>know if this was like a recent thing or just
<v Speaker 2>some pictures got unearthed. But there was just pictures of
<v Speaker 2>Undertaker and around a bunch of like blossoms in Japan,
<v Speaker 2>and it was pretty crazy looking. I don't know anything
<v Speaker 2>about his actual work there though.
<v Speaker 1>See on the opposite, I know everything about Punisher Dice Morgan.
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know anything at all about the Undertaker.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so he's like up there like he's a is
<v Speaker 2>that like a hidden gym or like everyone knows about
<v Speaker 2>Punisher Dice Morgan.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't really know what other people would think.
<v Speaker 1>I only really know what I think, and I think
<v Speaker 1>that he was a wrestler around that time for New
<v Speaker 1>Japan Pro.
<v Speaker 2>Wrestling in like nineteen ninety two area, right.
<v Speaker 1>Just sometime around there. Sure short thing.
<v Speaker 2>Hmm, Okay, that's cool. We should like watch those or
<v Speaker 2>can we not? Or not? Like? Is that?
<v Speaker 1>Is that just like a you can watch whatever you
<v Speaker 1>want any okay, Like with you, I don't nobody stopping
<v Speaker 1>you from consuming media whenever you want.
<v Speaker 2>Well that's very that's awesome, right, really, yeah, that's good.
<v Speaker 2>I might have to do that. The Berserker is getting
<v Speaker 2>a big push on the tour in Japan as a
<v Speaker 2>Bruiser Brody clone. And I put this down here because yes,
<v Speaker 2>of course that's what he's getting pushed as. What else
<v Speaker 2>that a guy that looks and dresses and does everything
<v Speaker 2>like Bruiser Brody. They're not going to push him as
<v Speaker 2>Andre the Giant.
<v Speaker 1>Right yeah? Is this in WWF or Japan? Right now?
<v Speaker 2>This is Japan as well?
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, sure thing, Yeah, well, I mean Bruiser Brody
<v Speaker 1>was his friend, and of course Brewser Brody passed away,
<v Speaker 1>and Berserker thought that he could pay homage to his
<v Speaker 1>friend by continuing on the gimmick. Of course, it makes
<v Speaker 1>it to the WWF where I think he doesn't understand
<v Speaker 1>the rules of at least the Royal Rumble.
<v Speaker 2>Or any man. He's like the count out guy, right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he would throw you out and count you out,
<v Speaker 1>all right, which on paper you think he would be
<v Speaker 1>awesome at the Royal Rumble for some reason, he wasn't.
<v Speaker 2>Super not good at it. Yeah, I mean that is
<v Speaker 2>very nice. You know, if I die, would you, like,
<v Speaker 2>you know, take over be and me as an homage?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I mean what would I even take over? Though?
<v Speaker 1>Like where the mandan?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean you could do that. Yeah, that'd be
<v Speaker 2>kind of okay.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I could rock that.
<v Speaker 2>The new look television shows begin for ww for the
<v Speaker 2>new WCSW Saturday nights on April fourth, with a format
<v Speaker 2>similar to Prime Time Wrestling. The first show of that
<v Speaker 2>format was taped this past week, and let's just say
<v Speaker 2>there is room for improvement. There's a lot of controversy.
<v Speaker 2>This is notls're saying that, but there's a lot of
<v Speaker 2>controversy over switching from the wrestling format to a talk
<v Speaker 2>format for a show that has been an eighteen year
<v Speaker 2>tradition and built in audience with a wrestling format. The
<v Speaker 2>major Angles will be switched to Worldwide Wrestling with a
<v Speaker 2>new format with Jesse Ventura starting on April eleventh. In
<v Speaker 2>this way, they are basically copying the WWF, where the
<v Speaker 2>major angles are running syndication and the cable shows are
<v Speaker 2>more a talk oriented format with lots of repeating the
<v Speaker 2>key issues. The syndicated Worldwide Show will generally be taped
<v Speaker 2>on Friday nights because it fits in better with Ventur's schedule.
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Ross Turner. The ww show will have two
<v Speaker 2>or three falls main events and lots of out of
<v Speaker 2>the ring features, and generally one major interview of up
<v Speaker 2>to five minutes in length per show. I mean that's
<v Speaker 2>pretty pretty much on the nose on exactly what this
<v Speaker 2>episode is. I you know, when before we fully watched it,
<v Speaker 2>I was talking to you about it, and you know,
<v Speaker 2>like Saturday night, you know, we watch a lot of
<v Speaker 2>Saturday's main event at least WWF. We watched a bunch
<v Speaker 2>of those even you know, Wrestling Challenge and stuff like that.
<v Speaker 2>We talked about how that was a very like bing
<v Speaker 2>bang boom, like flashier flash there very quick segments, quick matches,
<v Speaker 2>brain rot of the eighties was, I believe how you
<v Speaker 2>put it, which not, which was pretty accurate for you know,
<v Speaker 2>how quick stuff moved. And this felt a lot more
<v Speaker 2>slowed down, a lot more like dialed in on. You know,
<v Speaker 2>here's here's interviews, here's longer matches. You know, the length
<v Speaker 2>of the matches on this show was what surprised me
<v Speaker 2>the most, honestly.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this was a Southern comfort show. The fact that
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of controversy over changing the show. I
<v Speaker 1>wonder how that kind of spilled into nineteen ninety five
<v Speaker 1>when they changed to Nitro, because that changes up everything.
<v Speaker 1>I mean they changed the entire deal when they go
<v Speaker 1>live of course with Nitro going into ninety six and
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, So like, yeah, there's a lot of
<v Speaker 1>a lot of differences here, and WCW was changing quite
<v Speaker 1>a bit. So I definitely wonder as a fan, you know,
<v Speaker 1>going through those years. I mean it's a lot of changing.
<v Speaker 1>I wonder how fans like really felt going through all
<v Speaker 1>those changes.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I guess you know, there's options too
<v Speaker 2>if they didn't like that WBF was kind of doing.
<v Speaker 2>You know, they weren't really changing too much until they
<v Speaker 2>were forced to write, so I I you know, like.
<v Speaker 1>Well, they were going through a downturn in business here
<v Speaker 1>in the next couple of years too.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's fucking true. I was reading also that
<v Speaker 2>like even in ninety two, Hogan was coming out on
<v Speaker 2>house shows and getting booed, and I was like, wow,
<v Speaker 2>everything I read Hogan was like booed for our really
<v Speaker 2>really long time, super exciting news. Scotty Flamingo wrestling. His
<v Speaker 2>wrestling debut should be on pay per view here in
<v Speaker 2>WCW very shortly. Oh my god, Like talk about a
<v Speaker 2>boom period, A guy that that's coming into to really
<v Speaker 2>shake things up. Scotty Flamingo. I'm a big fan, what
<v Speaker 2>say you?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? No, Scotty Flamingo's dope E of course goes on
<v Speaker 1>to write for the WWF and that's it for Scotty Flamingo,
<v Speaker 1>who's out of wrestling after that.
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh wow, you have like a way. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I trust your remembory a lot more,
<v Speaker 2>you know, especially stuff like Punisher Dice Morgan. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know anything of so I thought I knew Scotty Flamingo.
<v Speaker 2>I must have confused.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're thinking about Raven. Totally different, dude. Scotty Flamingo's
<v Speaker 1>career comes to an end pretty soon.
<v Speaker 2>I always think about Raven as you should watch wrestling.
<v Speaker 2>You should be asking where's Raven? And what about Raven?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? What about him?
<v Speaker 2>Is what? From The Observer April sixth, nineteen ninety two,
<v Speaker 2>there were a lot of shakeups Monday. In the hierarchy
<v Speaker 2>of World Championship Wrestling, Bill Shaw, the head of personnel
<v Speaker 2>at Turner Broadcasting and a member of the Turner Board,
<v Speaker 2>has replaced it Jack Petrick as president of the WCW
<v Speaker 2>and top overseer. Officially, Petrick is said to no longer
<v Speaker 2>be in charge of the wrestling company because he'll be
<v Speaker 2>working full time on a twenty four hour cartoon cable
<v Speaker 2>channel that Turner is in the process of putting together
<v Speaker 2>Boomerang that channel. Yeah, Cartoon Network even better.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, my thought process was probably about ten years too early.
<v Speaker 2>There, You were right, I mean you were close though.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I remember on Cartoon Network that they would always
<v Speaker 1>advertise for Boomerang twenty four hour cartoons. Hannah bar Barier. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, how the fuck do I get this? Where
<v Speaker 1>is this at?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I mean, but like, yeah, this is just straight
<v Speaker 2>up the you know, yeah, the invent. This guy leaves
<v Speaker 2>WCW to go fucking invent the cartoon Network, which is
<v Speaker 2>by all means gigantic.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is a big turning point for cartoons. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>we go through a golden era of cartoons here in
<v Speaker 1>the nineties, like the mid to late nineties, Nickelodeon jumps
<v Speaker 1>on Cartoon Network of course. Yeah, there's a lot of creaks. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>WB Kids, Fox Kids, there's a bunch of stuff. We're
<v Speaker 1>taking animes and bringing them over four kids, Like, there's
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of stuff, and yeah, I mean, I mean
<v Speaker 1>we grew up with that, you know. I assume there's
<v Speaker 1>some stuff. I think like when I when we were
<v Speaker 1>in our like ten years ago, in our twenties, sure,
<v Speaker 1>cartoons I think had a little bit there too, Like
<v Speaker 1>Adventure Time was getting big, regular show big. I remember that.
<v Speaker 1>I remember like I'd be awake and like my boy
<v Speaker 1>was going to work, and uh, it would always be
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Grandpa would be on the TV.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what that is.
<v Speaker 1>I was living with a couple of people at the time,
<v Speaker 1>and like six am Cartoon Network. It would like switch
<v Speaker 1>back over from Adult Swim to Cartoon Network. And that
<v Speaker 1>shit was so fucking funny because like I would have
<v Speaker 1>Adults Swim on and then it was switched back over
<v Speaker 1>to Cartoon Network. It'd be Uncle Grandpa going good morning.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, Okay, I just Uncle Grimpa. I do know what
<v Speaker 2>this fucking Greek is. I've seen I've never watched this,
<v Speaker 2>but I know the good morning, and I know this
<v Speaker 2>guy's fucking face.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my boy would come out of the room at
<v Speaker 1>six am to go to his job and he'd be
<v Speaker 1>like morning.
<v Speaker 2>Lex. Luger made his first television appearance on WWF Superstars
<v Speaker 2>of Wrestling on Saturday, plugging both Wrestlemaney and the debut
<v Speaker 2>of WBF Body Stars on Saturday Morning on the USA Network. Luger,
<v Speaker 2>who's wrestling contract a WCW doesn't expire until the end
<v Speaker 2>of March in nineteen ninety three. You know, obviously everyone
<v Speaker 2>knows about Luger jumping the WCW when Nitro goes on.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how much I actually know about him
<v Speaker 2>going from WCW to WWF and also kind of fucking
<v Speaker 2>dealing with a shitty contract deal here as well.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know much about that either.
<v Speaker 2>That's like they somehow that happened in WWF didn't lock
<v Speaker 2>him down for a super duper contract so he wouldn't
<v Speaker 2>be able to jump back the same way he was
<v Speaker 2>leaving WCB the first time. Like, he just goes to
<v Speaker 2>Nitro and they're like, uh, the dude, the fuck ww
<v Speaker 2>on the contract? Fuck does on it? Dammit?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean that happens to a lot of dudes.
<v Speaker 1>For Vince. I mean they go through an era here. Well,
<v Speaker 1>because WWF wasn't doing great business in the first place,
<v Speaker 1>so like, you know, trying to like lock these fucking
<v Speaker 1>guys down. They're like, why the fuck would I do that?
<v Speaker 1>There's another wrestling show that's willing to pay me more sometimes,
<v Speaker 1>like I want to exercise my options here. It isn't
<v Speaker 1>until WWF like really locks the shit down that they're
<v Speaker 1>able to get the people they want to get and
<v Speaker 1>lock them down long term. You know, like we see
<v Speaker 1>jump fucking ship during the Monday Night Wars all the time.
<v Speaker 2>You know, Oh my god, Well that was awesome too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it created a lot of really cool moments.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, last few things here from The Observer, April thirteenth,
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety two. WrestleMania eight news Here from Meltzer, the
<v Speaker 2>show just happened. Another point needs to be made, and
<v Speaker 2>that this is this was the closest thing ever to
<v Speaker 2>a steroid free pay per view pro wrestling show from
<v Speaker 2>any company. Everyone. He says, well, I'm told there are
<v Speaker 2>two exceptions. Look to be off the stuff as compared
<v Speaker 2>to last pay per view when more than half the
<v Speaker 2>guys look to be on right now, the onus is
<v Speaker 2>there to stay that way on WW to follow suit.
<v Speaker 2>I just thought that was insane that, you know, the
<v Speaker 2>big talking point as Wow, there was no guys on
<v Speaker 2>steroids on this fucking show.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's weird.
<v Speaker 2>Meltzer says that ky Allen Fry versus Dallas Page angle
<v Speaker 2>has got to go. Uh, this is kind of a
<v Speaker 2>not a big part of this show. But I have
<v Speaker 2>no fucking idea what this ends up with, but they
<v Speaker 2>do it all over this Saturn Nite show. I just
<v Speaker 2>wanted to put here that Meltzer did not like it
<v Speaker 2>from the Observer last thing here. April twenty, nineteen ninety two,
<v Speaker 2>the first episode of the new format w CW show
<v Speaker 2>did a week weak week two point two rating on
<v Speaker 2>April fourth, which funny to see because god damn, how
<v Speaker 2>many shows now would love a two point two actually
<v Speaker 2>maybe all of them would love a two point two
<v Speaker 2>in Day while main event going ahead to head with
<v Speaker 2>Russemania did a two point zero in Power Hour Day
<v Speaker 2>one point nine. I mean, wow, those are in ninety two.
<v Speaker 2>Those were bad ratings.
<v Speaker 1>Crazy well, in just five years they flipped that some
<v Speaker 1>bitch around to like eight ratings sometimes.
<v Speaker 2>Shit, yeah, you're right, flip the two point two to
<v Speaker 2>a Oh that's flip two point two.
<v Speaker 1>Zero point two fund up turnaround.
<v Speaker 2>Shit. Well that is it for the observer. Now let's
<v Speaker 2>talk about WCW Saturday Night's debut episode April fourth, nineteen
<v Speaker 2>ninety two.
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get into Saturday Nights. We get a
<v Speaker 1>cold open here to start the show. The show starts
<v Speaker 1>with a very early nineties WCW logo reveal, which I
<v Speaker 1>can only assume was the intro to the previous show
<v Speaker 1>before they rebranded here to Saturday Night, and it breaks
<v Speaker 1>into a clip from Brian Pillman versus Juician Liger.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, Okay, I again maybe just unawares. I didn't really
<v Speaker 2>because they Pilman Liger everyone knows as the match that
<v Speaker 2>starts the first nightro, which is three years after this.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize they were already popping off Pilman and
<v Speaker 2>Liger as like a rivalry in nineteen ninety two.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean they must have some matches here. We
<v Speaker 1>actually get a reference to Great Muda later. Also, yes,
<v Speaker 1>who of course is a Juggalo, which.
<v Speaker 2>We all know him as like being you know, Violent
<v Speaker 2>Jay Shaggy to Dupe and the Great Muda and the
<v Speaker 2>Great Malenko. Yeah, there's the funky music intro. Here they
<v Speaker 2>show the Pilman and Lager spot. The Pilman does a
<v Speaker 2>missile drop kick off the top and the Lagger dropkicks
<v Speaker 2>them out of the air. That's I don't know if
<v Speaker 2>that's like the Pilman classic because the spoilers he also
<v Speaker 2>does that later on this show. Then the screen goes
<v Speaker 2>all fuzzy and Jesse the body God damn Ventura this man.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we cannot watch a show before nineteen ninety
<v Speaker 2>five that that does not have Jesse Ventur on it. Somehow,
<v Speaker 2>he's in every company on every show.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jesse Ventura got around, you know. Good for him,
<v Speaker 1>You're damn right, yeah, good for him.
<v Speaker 2>Man, he's great too. He's actually like the role that
<v Speaker 2>he has here, you know. I mean, I don't actually
<v Speaker 2>I have seen way more Jesse Ventura doing commentary stuff
<v Speaker 2>than than wrestling. I don't know how he was as
<v Speaker 2>a wrestler. Imagine he was good because everyone he was over.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, he's fantastic as you know, the kind of
<v Speaker 2>the second guy healed jerk off here.
<v Speaker 1>We watched him in a tag team match on Oh
<v Speaker 1>my god, what was it?
<v Speaker 2>Wwf uh one of those wrestling challenger a certain event
<v Speaker 2>where he was with It was against the fucking He'll
<v Speaker 2>be a Jim Family.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, he had a crazy outfit on.
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the things I think I remember most
<v Speaker 2>as well. Always a plethora of colors.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So the screen goes fuzzy and Jesse Ventura comes over
<v Speaker 2>the screen and you just hear his voice and he says,
<v Speaker 2>hold on, hold on here, this ain't no way to
<v Speaker 2>start a new era of w CW wrestling. Give me
<v Speaker 2>a camera. He fucking snatches the camera from the guy
<v Speaker 2>and starts just showing the crowd and he says, put on,
<v Speaker 2>put on that new music I brought in. Chessy Van
<v Speaker 2>Tura is like producer of the show. This is fantastic.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is already paid dividends.
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready. W CW is ready. Let's fire right over
<v Speaker 2>the camera. Two to my buddy Eric cy Spurling Bischoff
<v Speaker 2>and I needed to find out who this was. Si
<v Speaker 2>Spurling was the founder of Hairclub for Men.
<v Speaker 1>So that's ah right, okay, Eric Bischoff I love that
<v Speaker 1>Eric Bischoff is like looking to the other side. So
<v Speaker 1>let's throw over to Eric Bischoff. He turns.
<v Speaker 2>Hey, he was ready.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, he looks like he could be hosting supermarket sweep
<v Speaker 1>or something.
<v Speaker 2>He I mean, he is the most TV host. He
<v Speaker 2>could be on any primetime program. And this is like
<v Speaker 2>what a host would look like for sure. Why dude, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>I fucking I fucking whammy heavy.
<v Speaker 1>I used to run through those shows. I loved him.
<v Speaker 2>Have we I don't know if we've God, I don't
<v Speaker 2>know how much whammy has come up on the show.
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen the whammy that the Pressure Luck docum
<v Speaker 2>no on the dude that like he's he was a
<v Speaker 2>super fan of Pressure Luck and he would like sit
<v Speaker 2>every night and watch it with his wife, and he
<v Speaker 2>eventually figured out the pattern and he like studied it
<v Speaker 2>and studied and studied, then went on the show and
<v Speaker 2>like ran their pockets for like so like a bunch
<v Speaker 2>of episodes and then like they got suspicious and there
<v Speaker 2>was like a legal situation with it. Dude, you should
<v Speaker 2>check it out.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dude, there was a there was a bunch of
<v Speaker 1>shit like that. I feel like like I feel like
<v Speaker 1>all those game shows had some sort of controversy where
<v Speaker 1>somebody just figured out the formula and like just one
<v Speaker 1>of the I love that. There were so many shows
<v Speaker 1>like that back in the day. Like I like that
<v Speaker 1>there were so many like you had Who Wants to
<v Speaker 1>Be a Millionaire? Right, you had the Wheel of Fortune,
<v Speaker 1>you had Supermarket Sweep, and sure, I don't even know
<v Speaker 1>do they really make shows like that. I guess there's
<v Speaker 1>like a few, right.
<v Speaker 2>They they do. They're actually I don't know, Like I
<v Speaker 2>actually once in a while, especially when I have my
<v Speaker 2>parents over or really any guests over. Game Show Network
<v Speaker 2>is a fantastic show to just have one, right, yeah, right,
<v Speaker 2>just like you can't go wrong. But there is, uh,
<v Speaker 2>you know, nothing that's like I don't think popping off.
<v Speaker 2>But there's a lot of fucking trying to reinvent the
<v Speaker 2>wheel game shows for sure.
<v Speaker 1>I remember they brought back Supermarket Sweep for a minute
<v Speaker 1>and I was watching it for a minute. Yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>love I just love that show for some reason, just
<v Speaker 1>running down the aisles to get the ham. Let me
<v Speaker 1>get the ham yeah, and the beans, let me get
<v Speaker 1>the five of the beans.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, and if you want to get the super
<v Speaker 2>special fucking prize of the night. You got to make
<v Speaker 2>me a baloney sandwich.
<v Speaker 1>Off camera? Thank you?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, that shit is fucking awesome. You know what
<v Speaker 2>else I'd like, James? The show that I enjoyed. I
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed a good family feud.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I love family feud. Yeah, that was awesome.
<v Speaker 2>I do enjoy a good family feud.
<v Speaker 1>I must say, what's something in your house that's big
<v Speaker 1>and long? A penis?
<v Speaker 2>Name something?
<v Speaker 1>You?
<v Speaker 2>Finally a toilet? Shit? Steve, show me shiit?
<v Speaker 1>What's a show that sucks? Monday Night Raw?
<v Speaker 2>You never want to.
<v Speaker 1>First ever?
<v Speaker 2>Here in so Bischoff's welcomes us to the show from
<v Speaker 2>the studios of World Championshi Wrestling. This is w Saturay Nights,
<v Speaker 2>and here's your host, Jim Ross. There's a I mean
<v Speaker 2>a six hosts on this show. Jair's in the ring
<v Speaker 2>with two studio chairs, and there's a nice backdrop. It's
<v Speaker 2>like a set within the ring, which is a pretty
<v Speaker 2>cool look.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I liked it too.
<v Speaker 2>Jerred welcomes us to this very special edition of w
<v Speaker 2>c A Saturday Nights. He says, you're gonna see Flying
<v Speaker 2>Brian defend the light heavyweight Championship, and we'll take a
<v Speaker 2>look at the US champion, Rick Rude. We'll have a
<v Speaker 2>tag team match Cactus Jack and Diamond Dallas Page. We'll
<v Speaker 2>be by the Fabulous free Birds, and a two out
<v Speaker 2>of three falls main event. But now I'd like to
<v Speaker 2>introduce the man to be the co host this week
<v Speaker 2>on the first edition of Wwchat Knight, Jesse the Body,
<v Speaker 2>Ventura and the crowd. I mean, we must be in
<v Speaker 2>like talk show host era already because they're going which
<v Speaker 2>is a big talk show thing for some reason.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they probably had studio deals right where like it's
<v Speaker 1>said on the TV to cheer or boo.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so here comes Stone Cold in a bandana.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Jim Ross, give me a hell.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Sean, I don't know who the fuck you think
<v Speaker 2>you're talking to.
<v Speaker 1>You're really gonna like this gimmick in a few years, Jim.
<v Speaker 2>They steal everything from me. Ross.
<v Speaker 1>He grabs the camera and he zooms in and he says,
<v Speaker 1>hull coke and you son of a bitch. Just so
<v Speaker 1>you know, this guy's taking over the business.
<v Speaker 2>This guy's taking over the business, and it looks like me.
<v Speaker 1>Just Just wait, you'll see someone like me and you'll
<v Speaker 1>know the Future's comment Hogan.
<v Speaker 2>Jess, you would model himself over the next star and
<v Speaker 2>just say, this guy's up next. It's not me, but
<v Speaker 2>it looks like me.
<v Speaker 1>And that's the bottom line, Hogan.
<v Speaker 2>So Jesse says, I'm happy to be here. Ww is
<v Speaker 2>the wrestling of the future. I love that line. He
<v Speaker 2>says it a few times during the show. I think that,
<v Speaker 2>like in ninety two, that probably was the coolest shit
<v Speaker 2>ever to hear.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, especially because there was a lot of like idealization
<v Speaker 1>of like what the future holds in ninety two, Like
<v Speaker 1>so nowadays everything is shit and we're fun, but like
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen ninety two, now actually, right in nineteen ninety two, though,
<v Speaker 1>like people were really looking forward to growing up and
<v Speaker 1>seeing what's next. Ninetymore were cooks.
<v Speaker 2>Have fun of that, dude, the future used to be
<v Speaker 2>like super exciting.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, man, no shit's changed for real.
<v Speaker 2>Well, Jr. Says the two and of three fall main
<v Speaker 2>event will be for the TV title, the former champion
<v Speaker 2>the Zeeman, challenging stunning Steve Austin, and Jesse says two
<v Speaker 2>out of three falls match is very unique because it allows
<v Speaker 2>you one mistake, because you can be beat and still
<v Speaker 2>win the match. I Jesse's insight on wrestling is fantastic.
<v Speaker 2>He adds like so much to these shows.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean he very much understood wrestling and he
<v Speaker 1>was able to verbalize it. That's a big thing. You
<v Speaker 1>can understand wrestling. A lot of guys can't verbalize that.
<v Speaker 1>But I always thought Jesse was good at.
<v Speaker 2>It, dude. I mean, like there's little things that he
<v Speaker 2>talks about on the show, even the light heavyweight stuff
<v Speaker 2>where I'm like, damn, he puts it in such a
<v Speaker 2>way that like this feels like a sport.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, And like I love just how casual the
<v Speaker 1>conversation felt between Jim Ross and Jesse. They could have
<v Speaker 1>had Jesse Ventura as like the main host with Jim
<v Speaker 1>Ross every week and it would have been awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.
<v Speaker 1>So they actually spoke about the card a little bit
<v Speaker 1>earlier here, like you went over it, yes, Yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>mean interesting, like group of guys here, a lot of
<v Speaker 1>guys that have been a big part of the wrestling
<v Speaker 1>business and like will be.
<v Speaker 2>Sure Yeah, I mean Cactus, ddp Rick Rude Like it's
<v Speaker 2>a it's a good mesh. It's it's not. They talk
<v Speaker 2>about the world title scene, and like staying in Vader
<v Speaker 2>and all. But this is they have faith that even there,
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe I guess you could say mid card
<v Speaker 2>guys were gonna draw.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I couldn't believe that the Fabulous free Birds were
<v Speaker 1>wrestling on an episode of W in nineteen ninety two.
<v Speaker 2>Crazy. Yeah, I did not expect to see that too. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>their early eighties team here, right, yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Just nuts, man, they're still going, well, we get a
<v Speaker 1>pre tape here, the z Man will be challenging, of course,
<v Speaker 1>stunning Steve Austin in the main event. I'm guessing at
<v Speaker 1>the time that they were doing two out of three
<v Speaker 1>falls for the mains for these so they could stick
<v Speaker 1>the commercials in there.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even consider that. I thought they just did
<v Speaker 2>it because, you know, just to have a Hey, every
<v Speaker 2>week you'll see a gimmick like this, But that actually
<v Speaker 2>makes yours probably is way more making sense.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean now that they have the studio show
<v Speaker 1>and everything like, that's something that they can very easily control.
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I just imagine it with something like that,
<v Speaker 1>especially because they were working with Turner and stuff, you know,
<v Speaker 1>so like right, Turner is probably like, yeah, we can
<v Speaker 1>just put the commercials in between these falls here because
<v Speaker 1>he liked wrestling too, so it was probably easy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure. So z Man is Tom zenc. For
<v Speaker 2>anyone that don't know, I guess if you don't know
<v Speaker 2>who the z Man is is very good chance you
<v Speaker 2>also don't know who Tom z Inc is. But that's
<v Speaker 2>who it is, because we might talk about in the
<v Speaker 2>WWF at some point as well. Uh. He says that
<v Speaker 2>the z Man coming at you, he's super fired up.
<v Speaker 2>They have like, you know, a cool background here, very
<v Speaker 2>of its time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a green screen, right.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, that's right. Tonight, I've got the opportunity of
<v Speaker 2>a lifetime. Steve Austin put the bell online for two
<v Speaker 2>out of three falls, and that means you can goof
<v Speaker 2>up only once. They've emphasized that a lot that like
<v Speaker 2>you know, which I I don't. I don't know how
<v Speaker 2>many times I've heard people talk about two out of
<v Speaker 2>three falls in that way, like Jesse brought up, like
<v Speaker 2>usually two at three falls, it's people saying I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>fucking run you through too straight, and that's it. This
<v Speaker 2>is like, okay, listen, I can fuck up once and
<v Speaker 2>you can fuck up once. But that's you know, that's
<v Speaker 2>all we got. That's the difference here, which I is.
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty cool to look at it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, one of my favorite gimmicks growing up was the
<v Speaker 1>Briscos would always win the first two falls. It would
<v Speaker 1>never go to the third ball.
<v Speaker 2>And then stein Erico beating him for the fucking first time.
<v Speaker 1>Was nuts, right, just an easy payoff. Yeah, it was very,
<v Speaker 1>very good stuff, he.
<v Speaker 2>Said, Steve Austin, I've had that bet around my waist
<v Speaker 2>and now I've been on a roll. The Tailor made
<v Speaker 2>Man's gone down. I was like, who the fuck is that?
<v Speaker 2>This whole show was me saying, who the fuck is
<v Speaker 2>the Taylor made Man, the hammer Valentine's gone down. That's
<v Speaker 2>an awesome way to say his name. And next is you,
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin, Paulie said, in my business or I'll knock
<v Speaker 2>your face off. I'm behind, I'm rocking with the fucking.
<v Speaker 1>Zeeman, Taylor Made Man, the Hammers, Valentines, and Steve Austin,
<v Speaker 1>you're going down, and paul ye, pay the fucking boys,
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck are you doing?
<v Speaker 2>New York sucks. New York fucking suck.
<v Speaker 1>You suck. We got to a pre tape here with
<v Speaker 1>stunning Steve Austin. I almost caught him stone cold, but
<v Speaker 1>he is stunning Steve Austin here, and of course he's
<v Speaker 1>in the dangerous alliance with paul E dangerously.
<v Speaker 2>There's only one man that's stone cold here, James, and
<v Speaker 2>that's me.
<v Speaker 1>Just wait, Hogan, once he gets this look, it's all over, buddy.
<v Speaker 2>He just has to look at me in the mirror. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So Steve Austin's here, he's got the hair, he's got
<v Speaker 2>the robe. This is a totally different man, like I
<v Speaker 2>don't know facial hair, no facial hair all. Paulie's here,
<v Speaker 2>he's got the phone and they Hayman says that it's
<v Speaker 2>the twentieth or sorry, Paullie dangerously excuse me, He says,
<v Speaker 2>it's the twentieth anniversary of ww on TBS, and who
<v Speaker 2>better to be in the main event and the best
<v Speaker 2>wrestler on TV today? Stunning Steve Austin and Austin like again,
<v Speaker 2>like this, I don't know his voice, Like I can't
<v Speaker 2>do Austin from a voice here.
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't't just super regular.
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have it yet. Yeah right, he says, because
<v Speaker 2>I'm such a generous guy, I'm gonna give the Z
<v Speaker 2>Man not one, but two out of three falls. But Paul,
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he's man enough to beat me. It's
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's a mind fuck later because it's Steve
<v Speaker 2>Austin in the main event of the show and Jr.
<v Speaker 2>Is commentating it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, he's not like a super big Steve Austin guy.
<v Speaker 2>Both guys are totally different.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, A lot changes in the next couple of years.
<v Speaker 1>Z Man. I think you absolutely suck.
<v Speaker 2>Z Man. You're a piece of trash.
<v Speaker 1>You want to step the stonecalled Steve Austin son, you
<v Speaker 1>better come shoot.
<v Speaker 2>You put in ES instead of Z and that's what
<v Speaker 2>I think of your son.
<v Speaker 1>You're stink like shit. Watch paulim this group fucking sucks.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Ross, he's really found it.
<v Speaker 1>We got into commercial and we come back now. Jim
<v Speaker 1>Ross and Jesse Ventura are sitting down in the chairs.
<v Speaker 1>We have a CRT television in the middle and actually
<v Speaker 1>gonna be used to show footage and then zoom into it.
<v Speaker 2>How cool is this shot?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Man.
<v Speaker 1>You got the set the WCW Saturday Night like Neon
<v Speaker 1>logo in the back, the banners, the chair CRT's so
<v Speaker 1>fucking nineties is unreal. We go to a pre tape
<v Speaker 1>here it zooms in on the CRT.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>We go to full screen and we see Liger versus
<v Speaker 1>Pillman from Super Brawl Too.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Jesse Ventura says that it was quite possibly the
<v Speaker 2>greatest match he's ever witnessed in his life.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dude, Wow, that's a lot.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I fucking you know we've reviewed
<v Speaker 2>the nitro that they have the match on. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know if I've seen this one. I might have to
<v Speaker 2>like put this down for us to watch along with
<v Speaker 2>the Undertaker in Japan. I already forgot the fucking name. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>meet to punisher Dice Morgan.
<v Speaker 1>You know a lot more about him than me.
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy. Wow, life goes by real quick.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, that happens when you get older.
<v Speaker 2>Jesse says that Pilman won it. But I'll tell you this,
<v Speaker 2>Jim Ross, I don't think we've heard the last of
<v Speaker 2>Juicians on their lager in WCW. So there, I mean,
<v Speaker 2>super high on him already in ninety two and sticks
<v Speaker 2>around for a minute. Of course, Jr. Says, so many
<v Speaker 2>great light heavyweights in WW let's take a look back
<v Speaker 2>at super Bowl too, as you mentioned, James, and they
<v Speaker 2>show clips of it where Lager superplexes Pillman from the
<v Speaker 2>top and gets a two and then Liger heads up,
<v Speaker 2>goes for the flying head but missus Pillman moves and
<v Speaker 2>bridges up on Liger and gets a big win there
<v Speaker 2>for the light heavyweight title.
<v Speaker 1>Huge reaction from Jim Ross here, and the crowd was
<v Speaker 1>super hot for it.
<v Speaker 2>There's a super big push on this show, especially like, hey,
<v Speaker 2>light heavyweights kick fucking ass like this all I loved it.
<v Speaker 2>What should be looking at? Yeah? Yeah, it was cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Actually, Jim Ross starts going over the division as
<v Speaker 1>it is.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're back here at the you know the set,
<v Speaker 2>and j R. Says, a lot of great athletes competing
<v Speaker 2>here in the light heavyweight division. Richard Morton, Johnny b
<v Speaker 2>Bed fire Breaker, Chip, Brad Armstrong is gonna challenge Flying
<v Speaker 2>Brian here shortly. Who the hell's fire breaker? Chimp? He
<v Speaker 2>was a fire is that right?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I think you won the US tag team titles
<v Speaker 1>at some point.
<v Speaker 2>I mean I just looked him up and he I
<v Speaker 2>mean literally, it's the definition of a firefighter. He's got
<v Speaker 2>the hat super on the nose. Okay, right, yeah, right.
<v Speaker 2>Jesse Ventura super fired up about the light heavyweights. He says,
<v Speaker 2>I'm so happy to see light heavyweight division back in
<v Speaker 2>WCW because you're going to see smaller guys with unbelievable
<v Speaker 2>aerial tactics. These guys get to go at each other
<v Speaker 2>fast and furious without the disadvantage of giving up one
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty pounds to a heavyweight. And I was like,
<v Speaker 2>that's like the best way you could put over a
<v Speaker 2>why a division exists? Ever, Jesse says, you know, they
<v Speaker 2>got different moves, they'd go off the turnbuckle. They're not
<v Speaker 2>nothing sacred in a light heavyweight. Bountain Jr. Says that
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Pilman have been partners, and how does that
<v Speaker 2>affect the match? And Jesse says, you know, you can
<v Speaker 2>be friends outside the ring, but you can't be friends
<v Speaker 2>in the ring. Regardless of their friendship. When they get
<v Speaker 2>in there, that's when the money and the titles are
<v Speaker 2>on the line. You're gonna see Armstrong go after Flying
<v Speaker 2>Brian with everything. I again, I just I can't. I
<v Speaker 2>can't wax potic enough about how much I love this presentation,
<v Speaker 2>Like and I will say, you know, we get into
<v Speaker 2>this match of the next match is Pilman and Bret
<v Speaker 2>Enschrunk for the light heavyweight title.
<v Speaker 1>This gets time, it does, it does get time, and uh,
<v Speaker 1>it's dope. I mean, they're obviously positioning Brian Pillman as
<v Speaker 1>a big deal here, and they're doing a great job
<v Speaker 1>at it.
<v Speaker 2>He's also hurt here, by the way, He's got like
<v Speaker 2>a fucking back dealio going on.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, he is always fucking hurt.
<v Speaker 2>That's also true. That might be. You can probably say
<v Speaker 2>that about everyone on the roster though, right like, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he's guys getting beat into the fucking ground. Uh, but yeah, like, uh,
<v Speaker 2>you know, if it just in comparison to you know,
<v Speaker 2>we've watched a couple WBF shows, you know around this time.
<v Speaker 2>Those are all bang bang bang bang bang. Like you know,
<v Speaker 2>if you get if you get a five minute match,
<v Speaker 2>you're that's something to like righte about because that's super
<v Speaker 2>long for a w BF TV show at the time.
<v Speaker 2>But this, I'm pretty like every except for the maybe
<v Speaker 2>the Rick Rude match, everything gets like time time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, if you had a name on the show,
<v Speaker 1>then you weren't go in like two minutes on this,
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, it was like an actual match the Bret
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong was a contender, right, so like it.
<v Speaker 2>Gets okay, yeah that makes sense. Yeah, okay.
<v Speaker 1>Also, I love the light Heavyweight Championship. This belt is
<v Speaker 1>so cool. It's so simplistic, it's so classic. It's got
<v Speaker 1>five plates, it's got the curled border that WCW like
<v Speaker 1>to use a lot on their belts read backing for
<v Speaker 1>the lettering, and it's like almost like the big gold
<v Speaker 1>sort of texture on the plate's blue globe. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>you can't beat this. It's just super classic, Like I
<v Speaker 1>love it. I love that WCW kept this esthetic like
<v Speaker 1>for their belts for so long. Like I feel like
<v Speaker 1>a lot of their belts like kept this for a
<v Speaker 1>long time, and I always really enjoyed that.
<v Speaker 2>So we move on here to Brad Armstrong and Brian
<v Speaker 2>Pilman as we mentioned for the WSV Light Heavyweight Championship,
<v Speaker 2>and both guys are in the ring.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so they start off things here. Pilman takes advantage
<v Speaker 1>early here where the head scissors and a drop kick.
<v Speaker 1>Something I really enjoy about matches from this era is
<v Speaker 1>like how definitive a shine is, Like this is very
<v Speaker 1>much Brian Pillman's shine if that makes shitt okay, yes,
<v Speaker 1>Like Armstrong gets up for a second, but Pilman is
<v Speaker 1>back with like an insane string of moves into a
<v Speaker 1>pin like right, Armstrong like might get something, he might
<v Speaker 1>get him down, like with like an arm ringer or something.
<v Speaker 1>But Pilman's doing like you know, ran a fucking hip
<v Speaker 1>toss arm drag. It's built for him to get over here, right,
<v Speaker 1>Pilman locks in and a dominal stretch here on the
<v Speaker 1>ground before Armstrong makes a reversal, and then he makes
<v Speaker 1>Pillman miss a drop kick, and then he reverses with
<v Speaker 1>his own adominal stretch there.
<v Speaker 2>I like that, dude. They were on commentary like going
<v Speaker 2>nuts over the seated abdominal stretch. Like Jesse was like,
<v Speaker 2>oh shit, like this is something we only see Pilman doing.
<v Speaker 2>He just debuted at the pay per view and this
<v Speaker 2>is like a move that is like a game change.
<v Speaker 2>Dress said, Holy holy shit, the seed is abdominal is
<v Speaker 2>like a big fucking deal here. But then I was
<v Speaker 2>sitting there, I'm like, shit, I'm buying the seat of
<v Speaker 2>abdominal out Like this shit's awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Brad Armstrong heads up to the top here, but Pilman
<v Speaker 1>hits a standing drop kick and Armstrong tumbles to the outside.
<v Speaker 1>So Pilman hits a dive to the floor here and
<v Speaker 1>then he throws Armstrong back in and he heads back up,
<v Speaker 1>So Pillman goes for a drop kick, Armstrong goes for
<v Speaker 1>a drop kick. They kind of drop kick each other.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's it's the same thing that they that
<v Speaker 2>Pilman did a liger, which I like, I don't know
<v Speaker 2>if that's like a they're they're trying to push that
<v Speaker 2>like people are learning Pilman shit or or what it is.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, he kind of dropped. It's you know the
<v Speaker 2>RVD Linux have one guy did it off the top.
<v Speaker 1>Pilman crucifix pins Armstrong for a two here, but Armstrong
<v Speaker 1>fires back with a power slam of his own. Armstrong
<v Speaker 1>goes for a superplex, but Pilman head butts him off.
<v Speaker 1>Pilman goes for a flying cross body off the top here,
<v Speaker 1>but Armstrong rolls through into a pin for a two
<v Speaker 1>point nine.
<v Speaker 2>That was so close, because I for a second, dude,
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, like it's the first episode of
<v Speaker 2>some something. Maybe they would like switch it out just
<v Speaker 2>for a week.
<v Speaker 1>You know, I love this. I mean he got close. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that was really good. Pillman follows up with a spinning
<v Speaker 1>heel kick for a two. Here he goes up for
<v Speaker 1>a big super Fly splash, but Armstrong gets his knees
<v Speaker 1>up and Armstrong hits his move aside a Russian leg sweep.
<v Speaker 2>That's Armstrong's move. I said, oh shit, yeah, hell yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it is, hell yeah it is. This is it. But
<v Speaker 2>they are so close to the ropes.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, dude, I love it being his move. Like Jim
<v Speaker 1>Ross says, that's his move, not his finisher, that's his move,
<v Speaker 1>And I like that terminology way more like when I
<v Speaker 1>hear like his finisher, I'm like, sounds like a video
<v Speaker 1>game or something like his move video game thing, right,
<v Speaker 1>And that's fine. Obviously we grew up on the video
<v Speaker 1>games too, and like we call it finisher and everyone
<v Speaker 1>calls it finisher. But I feel like when I'm watching
<v Speaker 1>the show, I can say he's doing his finisher as
<v Speaker 1>a fan watching, like, oh, that's his finisher. Yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>don't know the people on the show should be saying
<v Speaker 1>that's his finisher.
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's legit. I legit, like feel the exact
<v Speaker 2>same way, Like I think I accepted finisher because one,
<v Speaker 2>you know, like you said, we're you know, that's what
<v Speaker 2>it is in the games, Like I know that, I
<v Speaker 2>know that, I know move set, you know. Yeah, yeah, games.
<v Speaker 2>So like I didn't know what else to say. But
<v Speaker 2>then you know JR. Selling this like, oh, that's his move.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, that is a way cooler way to
<v Speaker 2>say that. And you know, we've had this discussion before
<v Speaker 2>about terms like that, Like I hate when people say
<v Speaker 2>promo on a show, like it is one, but it
<v Speaker 2>feels like I shouldn't be hearing that right, like shit
<v Speaker 2>like that.
<v Speaker 1>So he hits the side Russian leg sweep here, but
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong pins them and Pillman's foot is under the rope.
<v Speaker 2>Too close, and this is like, again, I don't know
<v Speaker 2>who you know credit to whoever was the finish guy.
<v Speaker 2>All the finishers on the show are awesome, Like they
<v Speaker 2>it's almost like you know they they win because they
<v Speaker 2>were a vet and they knew they were in the
<v Speaker 2>right place right time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I love the way this finish panned out. Armstrong
<v Speaker 1>talks to the raft because his foot was under the rope,
<v Speaker 1>s Pilman is able to roll out to the apron
<v Speaker 1>and he hits his flying clothes line and picks up
<v Speaker 1>the win air Pillman.
<v Speaker 2>That's his move.
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty sweet, man, that is his fucking move.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it gets to win and uh, I mean crowds
<v Speaker 2>fired up, they like, I mean the crowd you can
<v Speaker 2>tell Pilman's getting some fucking steeze here too, like.
<v Speaker 1>Dude's super solid match here man.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I actually really like this match a lot. I
<v Speaker 2>uh you know, I know more of uh loose cannon Pilman.
<v Speaker 2>You know, after the injuries where he was he wasn't
<v Speaker 2>really it was a flying anymore. Yeah, he was, you know,
<v Speaker 2>he was changing his style a lot more.
<v Speaker 1>So that's a gun.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, promo guy Pilman, Like dude, I I love
<v Speaker 2>that stuff, but like it's it's it's weird because same
<v Speaker 2>fucking vain right, the stone Cold that I know or
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin I know, totally different than the guy on
<v Speaker 2>this show. So this ww early stuff is like a
<v Speaker 2>look at how they were before they were I guess
<v Speaker 2>stars right again, Like I said, I really don't know
<v Speaker 2>much about Brad Armstrong. I don't It's not the first
<v Speaker 2>time we've watched him on the pod.
<v Speaker 1>And I know we've seen him quite a bit. Actually,
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you've seen Brad Armstrong a few times
<v Speaker 1>in a few different eras.
<v Speaker 2>And I think he's every time, I probably have the
<v Speaker 2>same direction of the Wow, this guy's like pretty good.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, solid match. I think we probably say that after
<v Speaker 1>most of his matches. Yeah. Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura
<v Speaker 1>introduced Ron Simmons, who does a lot of work with
<v Speaker 1>the youth groups, and they actually bring up his time
<v Speaker 1>at Florida State where they retired his jersey.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, this is the most like, here's the greatest guy
<v Speaker 2>ever video I've ever seen. Like I only wanted to
<v Speaker 2>see this guy win the world title after this, which
<v Speaker 2>is exactly what they wanted.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I believe this is leading into his match with
<v Speaker 1>Big Van Vader, right.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that happens for a second, though. This
<v Speaker 2>might be like the very beginning of it, because I
<v Speaker 2>think stick in Vader we see at least through the summer,
<v Speaker 2>and then I want to say the Ron Simmons thing
<v Speaker 2>is like at the end of the year, if not
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of ninety three, I want to say it
<v Speaker 2>was the end of this year though, So yeah, like
<v Speaker 2>you know, fucking they show this video. I mean, Jesse,
<v Speaker 2>even turn Is putting him over is a huge, you know,
<v Speaker 2>a fantastic athlete, and they retired his number. And he's
<v Speaker 2>a tough he says. Jesse says, he he proved he's
<v Speaker 2>a tough guy because wrestling is a lot tougher than football.
<v Speaker 2>There's no pads in wrestling. Jared S's all right, she
<v Speaker 2>go to this video.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's go to this video about football real quick.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, fuck football gym. So yeah, this video they showed
<v Speaker 2>s Ron Simmons being narrated by Tony Schavani and showing that,
<v Speaker 2>you know, all the cool shit that he did. He
<v Speaker 2>had an impressive career on the gridiron at Florida State
<v Speaker 2>with coach Bobby Baldine. I believe it is Bobby boding Star,
<v Speaker 2>I wrote, I wrote Valdein. I knew it was with
<v Speaker 2>a B, and then I had it all wrong. Bobby Bowden.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was the coach at Florida State in nineteen
<v Speaker 1>ninety two. I remember when I was growing up. Florida
<v Speaker 1>State had a couple of good years too.
<v Speaker 2>Shovanni says that Ron spends a lot of time working
<v Speaker 2>with the young people. The youth and they show Ron speaking.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is again, this is the the most
<v Speaker 2>baby face that I've ever seen. He's He's standing there
<v Speaker 2>in front of a group of kids and he says, hey,
<v Speaker 2>don't do drugs, guys. And then he takes someone on
<v Speaker 2>a school bus ride to go to a WW show
<v Speaker 2>for free, Like, oh my god, oh my.
<v Speaker 1>God, you're doing a great job. Yeah, this is awesome.
<v Speaker 2>And then they show him working out and he's fucking gigantic.
<v Speaker 1>He's jacked. Oh man, Yeah he's awesome. He looks strange. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that was sick. I mean, we've talked about Ron Simmons
<v Speaker 1>probably a lot on this pot. I mean he's like
<v Speaker 1>pretty much on damn near every episode of everything we've
<v Speaker 1>watched throughout the years, and I mean, he's gotta be
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite wrestlers ever. Like we had just
<v Speaker 1>talked about it. The APA run is like, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>it's legitimately one of my favorite tag team runs ever,
<v Speaker 1>like any team. And we watched the match where he
<v Speaker 1>faced Big Van Vader, fucking awesome match with a with
<v Speaker 1>a fantastic finish. Yeah, dude's awesome. Man, No, it's awesome,
<v Speaker 1>and it's cool to see him in this situation here
<v Speaker 1>where they're doing sit downs with them and they're putting
<v Speaker 1>them over big here. It's it's sweet to see.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like you said, so they do do a sit
<v Speaker 2>down and interview with them, they bring him on. He
<v Speaker 2>comes out and a suit comes through the crowd, crowds
<v Speaker 2>fired up, and I mean they put him over huge.
<v Speaker 2>Here Jr. Is asking him, you know, like what does
<v Speaker 2>it mean to be a positive role model? And he says,
<v Speaker 2>it's not only important for me, but other athletes and
<v Speaker 2>you know, people in general to be important role models.
<v Speaker 2>Lots of the kids immortalize people so much that they
<v Speaker 2>find out sometimes they're you know, find out some things
<v Speaker 2>that they're let down, and it's important that parents instill
<v Speaker 2>in them that were humans too, and you know, they
<v Speaker 2>it's important to find heroes in their own communities. I said,
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, Like, give this guy all six titles,
<v Speaker 2>give him all the bells.
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's really good advice too, just in general. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>looking to your communities and see who's helping who, and like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I do think that's actually really good advice.
<v Speaker 2>And he talks about, you know, he was fortunate enough
<v Speaker 2>to go through high school and he didn't have the
<v Speaker 2>best financial background in the world, but he was fortunate
<v Speaker 2>enough to make it through college and he says, you know,
<v Speaker 2>take what's giving you and stay in there and finish.
<v Speaker 2>And they go on to talk about the world title situation.
<v Speaker 2>JR Asks him about Sting and Vader, and Ron says,
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm sure his Sting's a great champion and
<v Speaker 2>he worked through the ranks like everyone else when we're friends,
<v Speaker 2>but if the opportunity presents itself, then so be it.
<v Speaker 2>And you know we talked about as you mentioned, like
<v Speaker 2>you know that. He goes on to beat Vader for
<v Speaker 2>the title and Jesse here asks He says, there any
<v Speaker 2>key motivation at WW has never had a black world champion,
<v Speaker 2>and Ron says, yeah, by all means there's motivation. Let's
<v Speaker 2>be real. You know, life throughout history hasn't been the
<v Speaker 2>best for us in this country, and for me to
<v Speaker 2>be as a positive role model, I can't think of
<v Speaker 2>anything more positive than to be the first black man
<v Speaker 2>in the world that belt. And I'm like, thank god
<v Speaker 2>they didn't fuck this up, because what a fantastic story
<v Speaker 2>this is.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Absolutely, and JR.
<v Speaker 2>Asks him about having to wrestle in the future Jesse
<v Speaker 2>the body's favorite wrestler, ravaging Rick Rude, and Ron says,
<v Speaker 2>you know, taking nothing away. He's a good wrestler, but
<v Speaker 2>one thing's for sure. He's had Paully dangerously in his
<v Speaker 2>corner and that's given him a lot of advantages. If
<v Speaker 2>it's one on one in the corner, you could see
<v Speaker 2>a different story. I disagree. I think Rick Rud's tremendous
<v Speaker 2>and this guy's gonna have his hands full. And you
<v Speaker 2>know you played football at Florida State under Bobby Boden.
<v Speaker 2>Let's tell the truth. Now it's Gene Decorroth, not Bobby Boden. There. Now,
<v Speaker 2>he's better, and he's my friend. He says that. He
<v Speaker 2>says that all show. That's my close personal friend. He's
<v Speaker 2>my friend, and he's better and I like him more.
<v Speaker 2>Ron says, listen, if you were running a team, we
<v Speaker 2>would have did a lot of talking and won no games.
<v Speaker 2>And Jesse says he doesn't respect. Jesse is such a
<v Speaker 2>shitter man. He talks shit. Ron gives him one back,
<v Speaker 2>and Jesse says, yeah, well, Jim Ross, it's a good
<v Speaker 2>thing I'm retired and not a movie star. He doesn't
<v Speaker 2>even say it to Ron, what a fucking dick? Jr. Says, well,
<v Speaker 2>you think that rude awakening can off shit the power
<v Speaker 2>of this man? And Jesse says, I think the rooted
<v Speaker 2>Awakening can beat anybody if he gets it the proper
<v Speaker 2>way to apply it. There's nobody in w CW that's
<v Speaker 2>gonna get up from it. And Ron says, let me
<v Speaker 2>ask you this, Jesse. You spent much time in the streets.
<v Speaker 2>Have you heard of a sidewalk slam. I can guarantee
<v Speaker 2>you he'll be in for a root awakening. And Ron says,
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, it's hard for me to show you
<v Speaker 2>how I'll handle Rick Rude, but I'll you know, it's
<v Speaker 2>hard for me to tell you, excuse me, how I'll
<v Speaker 2>handle Rick Rude, But I'll show you. And he starts
<v Speaker 2>on to do his time and I'm like, oh my god,
<v Speaker 2>is he got a fucking gig?
<v Speaker 1>Jesse, as you're to kick Jim Ross's ass?
<v Speaker 2>Ah, wats just shut hm up? In the dominator A Jr.
<v Speaker 2>Says I was going to show us. He's gonna show you.
<v Speaker 2>He's going to show you I don't have a problem.
<v Speaker 2>And Ron takes his shirt off and he is flexing
<v Speaker 2>I mean, dude, this guy is massive, Like this is
<v Speaker 2>crazy looking.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's in great shape.
<v Speaker 2>And Jesse's sitting there and he looks at him and says,
<v Speaker 2>looks good. Everything about this was tremendous, dude, Like, you know,
<v Speaker 2>a long interview like this too. I think they said
<v Speaker 2>that that's gonna be like they're gonna do a sit
<v Speaker 2>down with like somebody every week. That'll be kind of
<v Speaker 2>an extended interview. Again. Super I we talked about, you know,
<v Speaker 2>the WF side of these shows. I loved how those were,
<v Speaker 2>but this is super cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, I enjoyed this a lot. So Jim Ross
<v Speaker 1>follows up. He says that the free Birds are going
<v Speaker 1>to get a shot at the United States tag titles
<v Speaker 1>against Hammerman and Taylor maiden Man in a two out
<v Speaker 1>of three falls match.
<v Speaker 2>The fuck is Taylor Maidman? I don't this whole show again,
<v Speaker 2>it's I legit don't know who this is until the
<v Speaker 2>last ten seconds of the show. I refuse to look
<v Speaker 2>it up. I said, I need to know if they're
<v Speaker 2>gonna show me Taylor Maideman and Trammer Valentines. I wrote
<v Speaker 2>here under that who the fuck is Taylor?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so this is where I kind of caught on
<v Speaker 1>they were doing two out of three falls for the
<v Speaker 1>mains here.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, which cool. I not a bad idea for
<v Speaker 2>what you said, And it's, you know, interesting thing you
<v Speaker 2>can advertise. Every week there's gonna be a two to
<v Speaker 2>three falls title match.
<v Speaker 1>Every week we have Catnus Jack and DDP taking on
<v Speaker 1>the free Birds. I cannot believe I'm looking at Jimmy
<v Speaker 1>Garvin run into this ring right now with Michael Hayes
<v Speaker 1>to do the fabulous Freebirds gimmick in nineteen ninety two.
<v Speaker 1>This is like nuts to me. I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Garvin is the most eighties seventies eighties man. I
<v Speaker 2>may have ever laid my eyes on like.
<v Speaker 1>You got imported into nineteen ninety two.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he is dripping with just juice like he is
<v Speaker 2>so skeazy.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that is the exact word I was gonna use.
<v Speaker 1>He's the skeeziest man of nineteen ninety two.
<v Speaker 2>But I love it. Like the big glasses, gigantic mustache
<v Speaker 2>that engulf's his face. He's got this big ass hair. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>this is a skeezy, sleazy guy. That's Jimmy Jam, Dude,
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Jam of W two K eighteen fucking fame.
<v Speaker 1>Holy shit. Yeah, there was the year where they had
<v Speaker 1>fucking Rock and Roll in the game too.
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Garvin's in seventeen and eighteen fucking in set one
<v Speaker 2>of those games. He would show up so much in
<v Speaker 2>my Universe mode, like just him by himself.
<v Speaker 1>Back in the eighties, they had run ins all the time, you.
<v Speaker 2>Know, fucking insane in the fucking game. I mean, they
<v Speaker 2>might not have done his mustache justice here.
<v Speaker 1>But wow, I bet you back when that game came out,
<v Speaker 1>I said, why the fuck is Jimmy Garvin in this game?
<v Speaker 2>Dude? I was definitely mad and said, who the fuck
<v Speaker 2>is this?
<v Speaker 1>Why is that Ricochet in the game? And why the
<v Speaker 1>fuck is Jimmy Arvin here?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, put Bobby Fish in the game. You fucking a
<v Speaker 2>get Jimmy Garment out of this ship. Now it's a
<v Speaker 2>complete opposite, dude. It is like the total fucking opposite.
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at this shit, like I'm looking at randomized
<v Speaker 2>characters and I'm like, so are they gonna put in
<v Speaker 2>anyone I know? Or like, what's the deal here? When
<v Speaker 2>they fucking announced that Sateenitess made event Pac in the
<v Speaker 2>last game. I was so fired up. I said, oh
<v Speaker 2>my god, chunk yok dog, all right.
<v Speaker 1>Like, that's so funny how time works like that?
<v Speaker 2>Man? And just so you all know, you fucking youngsters,
<v Speaker 2>it will happen to you too.
<v Speaker 1>It will. Y'all like to think you're not gonna age,
<v Speaker 1>and you think you're not gonna age, quickly, guess what, pal,
<v Speaker 1>It's happening.
<v Speaker 2>Time comes for us all, including you.
<v Speaker 1>There's actually a guy in the crowd here with a
<v Speaker 1>Steamboat's Gym Charlotte, North Carolina shirt, which I thought was
<v Speaker 1>very cool. I don't even know if I knew that
<v Speaker 1>was a thing. I think we talked about it at
<v Speaker 1>some point though, where where Lex Luger had also started
<v Speaker 1>a gym, and it felt like a lot of guys
<v Speaker 1>in wrestling were starting their own gyms.
<v Speaker 2>It's probably a good uh. I don't know if grift
<v Speaker 2>is right word, but I mean, I imagine, you know,
<v Speaker 2>a dude that looks big putting his name on a
<v Speaker 2>gym will do some kind of good business for at
<v Speaker 2>least two years.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they probably just wanted somewhere to work out, so
<v Speaker 1>that I was probably I.
<v Speaker 2>Have my own fucking place.
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you, though, my expectations for this match
<v Speaker 1>were way different than the match we actually got. I
<v Speaker 1>I thought Jimmy Garvin was gonna get dropped twelve to
<v Speaker 1>six on his head by Gott his deck. Guy gotta
<v Speaker 1>be okay.
<v Speaker 2>I thought Cactus was going to be way more involved,
<v Speaker 2>uh with he has his shit right, but like this
<v Speaker 2>is I guess I should have known when they said
<v Speaker 2>that they're fucking wrestling the Taylor Made Men next week,
<v Speaker 2>that this was going to be a free Bird showcase.
<v Speaker 2>But with who it was, I thought, you know, Cactus
<v Speaker 2>still had some stees, and you know ddp's coming up,
<v Speaker 2>but this is a Freebird fucking almost like not a squash,
<v Speaker 2>but it's close.
<v Speaker 1>So DVP and Cactus Hot start on the Freebirds here,
<v Speaker 1>but Mike Hayes fights back on DDP because he's bad man.
<v Speaker 1>They didn't call a lick in this motherfucker.
<v Speaker 2>Woo dude. I mean there's a couple of times where
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Garvin just kind of moving his body wherever it
<v Speaker 2>can go to figure it out.
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't surprise me as the free Birds, but I was like, wow,
<v Speaker 1>holy shit. The Freebirds hit of a double back body
<v Speaker 1>drop on DDP. He lands right on his ass.
<v Speaker 2>That was like it almost made me think, wow, does
<v Speaker 2>this move not exist yet? Like a double version of
<v Speaker 2>this because he gets so much height and I don't
<v Speaker 2>think he was able to control his landing.
<v Speaker 1>Cactus slams Garving on the ground on the outside. He
<v Speaker 1>goes to the apron. I'm gonna guess he's going for
<v Speaker 1>the elbow here, but Michael Hayes punches him in the mouth.
<v Speaker 2>Which good cutoff.
<v Speaker 1>So Michael Hayes goes into an Aaron Nashal with DDP.
<v Speaker 1>That ends when Michael Hayes just punches DDP right in
<v Speaker 1>the mouth.
<v Speaker 2>They didn't know where to go. I don't even know
<v Speaker 2>who it was meant to be, Like an international.
<v Speaker 1>Cat just comes in here. He hits a leg drop
<v Speaker 1>on the back of Garvin's head and quickly tags out.
<v Speaker 1>He said, I have had enough of this already. DDP
<v Speaker 1>comes off the top, but Garvin punches him in the
<v Speaker 1>stomach actually right down here. They're sort of struggling through
<v Speaker 1>this one.
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.
<v Speaker 1>Right as I think that though, Michael Hayes grabs DDP
<v Speaker 1>and hits the DDT to pick up the win, which
<v Speaker 1>is their move with everybody saying DT. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I will say, though, I gotta I gotta complain about
<v Speaker 2>one thing here, Michael Hayes. Michael Hayes did Brad Armstrong's move.
<v Speaker 2>He did the Russian leg sweep.
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, have some respect.
<v Speaker 2>He didn't win with it because it's not his move, right.
<v Speaker 2>He's not as good as it, you know, So I'll
<v Speaker 2>take that. But I didn't realize that Michael Hayes was
<v Speaker 2>a DDT guy.
<v Speaker 1>There's another guy everybody's been saying he has been a
<v Speaker 1>DDT guy.
<v Speaker 2>He's doing the DDT and Scotty Flamingo's about the fucking
<v Speaker 2>coming to the top spot here, like what is going on?
<v Speaker 1>Jim Ross introduces a pre tape here that says the
<v Speaker 1>feud between Ricky Steamboat and rick Rude has really gotten personal.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, fucking escalating here.
<v Speaker 1>Steamboat tried to end my fucking guy's career.
<v Speaker 2>He's taking it personal. You never take it personal. Hey,
<v Speaker 2>Ricky Steamboat, fuck you, you're stupid fucking gym. I hate
<v Speaker 2>dragons and I hate you.
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte North Carolina sucks.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, He says rick Orud hasn't done anything to Ricky
<v Speaker 2>Steamboat to warrant what Steamboat's done to him, and Jerry says, well,
<v Speaker 2>we'll show you what transpired and take you back to
<v Speaker 2>the super Bowl too, and how Rude retained the championship
<v Speaker 2>and how the Dragon gained a measure of revenge. Shall
<v Speaker 2>we go back here another Tony Shavani voiceover video. Shavanni
<v Speaker 2>says that many thought Steamboat would unset Rude as champion
<v Speaker 2>and their feud, but the resourcefulness of the dangerous lines
<v Speaker 2>and rude athletic ability prevented the Dragon from realizing his dream,
<v Speaker 2>which was a super nice way to say that. Uh,
<v Speaker 2>ricky Steamboat brought up There was a ninja that followed
<v Speaker 2>him to the ring that ended up being Paul him
<v Speaker 2>and he got hit with his cllphone.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this must be that movie that people wanted us
<v Speaker 1>to watch.
<v Speaker 2>Ah, Three Ninjas of course, which with everybody watching three
<v Speaker 2>Name Jazz. Yeah, yeah, what the fuck no one saw
<v Speaker 2>that movie.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, sorry to everybody out there and the Three Ninjas fandom. Uh,
<v Speaker 1>we really did not mean to disrespect you.
<v Speaker 2>That's our bow it. We didn't realize there would be
<v Speaker 2>such an outrage.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean that movie came out a year before
<v Speaker 1>I was born. Man Like, by the time I was
<v Speaker 1>rocking and rolling. I was watching Power Rangers, like, no
<v Speaker 1>way these guys could stand up through the big bad
<v Speaker 1>beatle boards.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what happened. Ricky, Steamboat's second Ninja Dragon partner
<v Speaker 2>hit him with a cell phone. I'm assuming that had
<v Speaker 2>to be one Paulie Dangerously, which could have been anybody,
<v Speaker 2>Really could have been anybody with the phone.
<v Speaker 1>You never know, dude, that would have been funny as
<v Speaker 1>shit if you just started going around backstage and just
<v Speaker 1>seemingly everyone had this phone.
<v Speaker 2>The futures comes so fast, dude.
<v Speaker 1>He calls out paul Leice as I know it was you,
<v Speaker 1>you had the phone, And then Paulie says, well, I
<v Speaker 1>actually have about ten or fifteen people here who also
<v Speaker 1>have this, So why don't you guys come on down.
<v Speaker 1>You could tell me which one of these guys did it.
<v Speaker 2>We'll put him in a lineup and you pick out
<v Speaker 2>which one hit you with this fucking phone. How about that? Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>rude one. Because of this, he got the win, and
<v Speaker 2>Steamboat then wanted to face any member of the Dangerous Alliance,
<v Speaker 2>even though he had already had a shot lined up
<v Speaker 2>at the title, and ended up fighting Arn Anderson and
<v Speaker 2>Ricky Steamboat threw on into Pouli who was on the apron,
<v Speaker 2>and Pauli flipped into the ring because that's how seesaws work.
<v Speaker 2>Ricky Steamboat then tried to ten thirty one Polly.
<v Speaker 1>And uh, he really got him up there too, Dude.
<v Speaker 2>He hoisted that motherfucker. Rude tries to wrap a belt
<v Speaker 2>around Steamboat's neck and hit him with the Rude Awakening,
<v Speaker 2>which was cool as shit, but Steamboat flipped out of
<v Speaker 2>it onto his feet and throw it throw us fucking
<v Speaker 2>Rick Rude and beat the fuck out of him and
<v Speaker 2>then hangmanned him with the with the belt, which is
<v Speaker 2>how things have escalated here.
<v Speaker 1>Classic Steamboat. I feel like I've seen this dude hangman
<v Speaker 1>people all the time.
<v Speaker 2>That's his Uh. He goes to a territory and everyone
<v Speaker 2>gets one hangman angle with Ricky Steamboat.
<v Speaker 1>So we have Rick Rude with Paul versus Dousel Dwarf.
<v Speaker 2>Who the fuck is this guy? Dude? Not only did
<v Speaker 2>we never get a name. I looked it up. I
<v Speaker 2>can't find it. Like it's not cage match.
<v Speaker 1>Didn't even have it cut the fucking music.
<v Speaker 2>What I'd like to have right now is for all
<v Speaker 2>you fat hey out of shape, a country bumpkin cowards.
<v Speaker 2>Keep the noise down while I take my robe off
<v Speaker 2>and I show you what a real sexy man is
<v Speaker 2>supposed to look like. Hit my fucking music. Another two
<v Speaker 2>K seventeen legend, Rick Rude.
<v Speaker 1>With the injury is there is an enormous sign of
<v Speaker 1>the crowd by the way, I mean it is got
<v Speaker 1>so large, says Rick Rude. Lude Crude and Bude.
<v Speaker 2>And Bude goes on forever too, Like this covers an
<v Speaker 2>entire section this side. They really did not funk with
<v Speaker 2>this guy.
<v Speaker 1>So Rude just beats the hell out of this guy.
<v Speaker 1>We don't know his name. He's in the all white gear.
<v Speaker 1>Rud hits him with a soup plex and then squeezes
<v Speaker 1>his ass cheeks.
<v Speaker 2>I mean just fucking like if you want, if you're
<v Speaker 2>trying to just pelvic thrust with just your ass, That's
<v Speaker 2>what he did here. Like it was he was sideways
<v Speaker 2>the hard camp.
<v Speaker 1>So he just co popping Rude that hits the root
<v Speaker 1>awakening and picks up the win. And uh he is
<v Speaker 1>your United States fucking champion.
<v Speaker 2>I love Rick Rude Jim Ross because he reminds me
<v Speaker 2>of me. You know who else reminds me of me
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin if he looked like.
<v Speaker 1>This hit my fucking music.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Rick Rude does go on to do stuff
<v Speaker 2>with a fucking franchise.
<v Speaker 1>And he c dubb WCW magazine segment. Eric Bischoff is
<v Speaker 1>here with the magazine with Steiner Brothers on the cover.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, dude, And I'm assuming these magazines had to have
<v Speaker 2>been doing good business for them, because like having a
<v Speaker 2>five minute dedicated segment just advertising the magazine is heavy.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. Magazines were super popular, so I.
<v Speaker 2>When I was going on you know, attitude er kind
<v Speaker 2>of error, I was definitely getting the WWF ones. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I ever even saw ww magazines, and
<v Speaker 2>they definitely were still going in like ninety nine. Dude.
<v Speaker 1>I would always go to like Food Lion or IgA
<v Speaker 1>when I was young, and they would have the H
<v Speaker 1>magazine section. Yeah, my mom would shop and I would
<v Speaker 1>sit there. One, I'm looking for demo discs. Two of
<v Speaker 1>course I'm checking out if they got anything that even
<v Speaker 1>resembles something I would like. Most of the time, it
<v Speaker 1>was just bullshit, and I would sit there forever and
<v Speaker 1>just read through these.
<v Speaker 2>Things, just try to fucking make yourself.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah really, because like man, back in the day, people
<v Speaker 1>used to shop longer than ever.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my dude, yeah, that's I mean, well, there was
<v Speaker 2>you know, there was a lot more patience back It
<v Speaker 2>was fun back then, right, yeah, it was you know,
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't supermarket sweep. That's how it is now.
<v Speaker 1>That's how I wish my mom shop running down to
<v Speaker 1>get the ham the chips.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Bischoff goes over this whole magazine thing here
<v Speaker 2>we get to. He goes over the rivalry between Sting
<v Speaker 2>and the four hundred and fifty pounds Van Vader. They
<v Speaker 2>re kept Sting winning the his match on WCP Worldwide
<v Speaker 2>against Dusol Dwarf, and this.
<v Speaker 1>Guy's get his as.
<v Speaker 2>He's running the blog. Vader hit the ring with a
<v Speaker 2>chair and Sting got on him, hit him with a
<v Speaker 2>finger splash, hit Vader with a chair, and Vader launched
<v Speaker 2>a referee into the sky. And I know that that
<v Speaker 2>was awesome. Dude. Vader is so kick ass. Yeah, and uh,
<v Speaker 2>Vader no sold the chair shot Sting then head up
<v Speaker 2>to the top because you know, he figured he had
<v Speaker 2>Vader at least reeling a little went for a cross
<v Speaker 2>body Vader power slams him out of the air, splashes
<v Speaker 2>him on the back. Jr. Selling this like Sting just
<v Speaker 2>got killed. I love this.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dude, I love Vader. He did so much good
<v Speaker 1>work here in the early nineties.
<v Speaker 2>That's I mean. I've been I've been super enjoying like
<v Speaker 2>going back and watching the older stuff because again, I
<v Speaker 2>only know Vader from fucking WWF.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, we've watched so much of Vader's shit
<v Speaker 1>here on this show over the past seven years, Like
<v Speaker 1>it's impossible not to be a huge fan of him.
<v Speaker 2>He's fucking so he's like gotta be one of the
<v Speaker 2>best big guys ever.
<v Speaker 1>Yep.
<v Speaker 2>So then we get to a Vader and Harley race
<v Speaker 2>promo and Vader says, ah, stick stick look at us, Oh,
<v Speaker 2>the next eavyweight champion. The time is now. Reality has
<v Speaker 2>become the president, and the final lesson of the pain
<v Speaker 2>game has begun because Vader has a PhD in pain.
<v Speaker 2>World champion, ding say that world champion ding? All Right, Harley,
<v Speaker 2>thank you, la la la la la.
<v Speaker 1>Vader doing Matt Tremont shit, hell ya, Harley. Now that
<v Speaker 1>would be a gimmick that would get super every today.
<v Speaker 1>Just have a guy that sounds like boom hour and
<v Speaker 1>he talks and says, whatever you look over to me,
<v Speaker 1>you go, hell yeah. So you hit him on the back,
<v Speaker 1>Hell yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So we have a Sting promo here right after the
<v Speaker 2>Vader one, and Sting says, so Vader's got a pH
<v Speaker 2>d in pain? Oh? First of all, Sting, cool looking
<v Speaker 2>baby face ever, looks awesome, very cool, good promo. I
<v Speaker 2>love this guy, That's all I gotta say. He says,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where you went to school to learn
<v Speaker 2>about pain, because I've been around here a lot longer
<v Speaker 2>than you. W CW happens to be the best school
<v Speaker 2>of pain. So don't tell me about pain. Just show
<v Speaker 2>up and maybe I'll make you understand what pain is
<v Speaker 2>all about. I loved it. I love it.
<v Speaker 1>It's saying where the fuck did you get a PhD
<v Speaker 1>in pain? That doesn't even make any sense.
<v Speaker 2>I do what? So we go back to Bischoff with
<v Speaker 2>the magazine and he says, it's you know, Tom Stink
<v Speaker 2>could be lonely at the top, but there's an athlete
<v Speaker 2>headed to w CW from Japan that's been watching, and
<v Speaker 2>Muda would be there for Sting any time, should the
<v Speaker 2>time arise. And I'm like, wow, that's a crazy way
<v Speaker 2>to introduce somebody as somebody's like friend and partner. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>my boy here from Japan's been watching. He's gonna come
<v Speaker 2>fucking help my voice think.
<v Speaker 1>It instantly puts him in the conversation.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's intriguing. I was like, wow, that's like
<v Speaker 2>you know, usually it's a run in. Bischall says this
<v Speaker 2>just in w C to B Border directors are currently
<v Speaker 2>reviewing videotape on a vicious attack on Rick Steamboat h
<v Speaker 2>and the dangerous Lions on on him and on they
<v Speaker 2>showed here w CB Worldwide Modusa slapped Steamboat. Steamboat slapped
<v Speaker 2>her back and then immediately was upset and fucking apologizing
<v Speaker 2>and saying, oh fox shit sorry. Then the dangerous lions
<v Speaker 2>whooped his ass like fucking nip. Rick Rude kills him
<v Speaker 2>with a chair shot here man, it is loud.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, likeby eating, I feel like I saw Bobby eating
<v Speaker 1>out there.
<v Speaker 2>You know what, he wasn't a dangerous allions, he probably was.
<v Speaker 2>Rude then rolls Steamboat to the floor the dangerous lions
<v Speaker 2>and stamp his ass out, and Rude slams him face
<v Speaker 2>first into the concrete like they lifted the mats and
<v Speaker 2>he smashed his head into the ground.
<v Speaker 1>They beat his ass.
<v Speaker 2>Steamboat like a lot of blood feeds on this guy.
<v Speaker 2>This guy pissed a lot of people off.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he was such a good baby face.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, like this is I I was actually super interested,
<v Speaker 2>like find out. I kind of want to look up
<v Speaker 2>more about this angle because it seems pretty cool. So
<v Speaker 2>we're back with Bischoff and Bischoff says the war of
<v Speaker 2>words continues between WW Executive Vice President ka Allan Frye
<v Speaker 2>Yeah and WW wrestler DDP. DDP was barred from taking
<v Speaker 2>part in any on camera interviews regarding WCW policy, but
<v Speaker 2>on the last WCBY broadcast, DDP tried to unsuccessfully steal
<v Speaker 2>some airtime. So this is, uh, you know this is
<v Speaker 2>Meltzer said he fucking did not like this angle.
<v Speaker 1>Bischoff says this just in Meltzer doesn't like this, so.
<v Speaker 2>We're dropping, we're xnaying this whole angle. Oh fuck. So
<v Speaker 2>two weeks ago on WCW, I'm assuming it was this
<v Speaker 2>show which was just called WCW, h DDP interrupted a
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin interview which god ten years later. If DDP
<v Speaker 2>does that, he's his career. I mean, Austin will run
<v Speaker 2>him down for six minutes if DDP interrupted him, and
<v Speaker 2>then he gets a stunner and wedgied.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean guaranteed he gets.
<v Speaker 2>And then he buy an ATV and a car and
<v Speaker 2>his car gets blown up as well. Very different times,
<v Speaker 2>the DDP interrupts and says, I'm barred from two interviews
<v Speaker 2>on the policies at ww Who does kay Alan Fry
<v Speaker 2>think he is the band? DDP doesn't, doesn't He says, this,
<v Speaker 2>doesn't he heard of the Constitution, the first Amendment. He's
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be a lawyer. The bottom line is hold
<v Speaker 2>on a second is where it didn't get his law
<v Speaker 2>degree from the University of Moscow. Good God, give me
<v Speaker 2>a break. I got something to say. And then he
<v Speaker 2>gets interrupted by what I presume is security or some
<v Speaker 2>kind of higher up that that pulls DDP off this
<v Speaker 2>seat here. This is uh interesting. It's super different from
<v Speaker 2>anything else on the show at least.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they should drop this.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it's weird, Like I don't you know, I've only
<v Speaker 2>just seen this part, but I can't imagine what the
<v Speaker 2>payoff is of DDP and vice president Fry. So Bischoff says, Kay,
<v Speaker 2>Alan Fry, what further comments on this next week? That's fucking.
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, hooray.
<v Speaker 2>Before we leave, this week's fan line question comes from
<v Speaker 2>Shannon Barber from New York, who wants to know, Rick Rud,
<v Speaker 2>you say negative things about New York, but your manager,
<v Speaker 2>Paully Dangerously is from New York. How does he feel
<v Speaker 2>about your comments?
<v Speaker 1>And?
<v Speaker 2>I thought this was like a you know, they're just
<v Speaker 2>fucking having somebody right in something. No, they go to
<v Speaker 2>a fucking green screen thing. Rick Rude answers this question.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was pretty interesting.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, this is like, what an easy
<v Speaker 2>way to serve up any story you want. So Rude says,
<v Speaker 2>a question I would expect from an inner city sweathog
<v Speaker 2>Shannon aka New Yorkers. Well, the bottom line with Paully
<v Speaker 2>is money, and as long as the money keeps rolling in,
<v Speaker 2>I keep doing my thing and I continue to win.
<v Speaker 2>This was I what a small thing. That was like great?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they actually have another fanline question here from uh
<v Speaker 1>Neville south Hall from Maryside, England, and he asked, al,
<v Speaker 1>you have been quoted a seke A good match is
<v Speaker 1>the one that draws the most money by your own
<v Speaker 1>body logic. Is it fair to say you haven't had
<v Speaker 1>a good match in your entire career?
<v Speaker 2>Oh, here's another one actually from the Horsecock Express, and
<v Speaker 2>he asked how big is Jimmy Carfon's dick?
<v Speaker 1>All right, so no more fucking questions. Thank you everybody.
<v Speaker 2>I'll actually here.
<v Speaker 1>And he's, oh, looks like Marty Jay's what them doing?
<v Speaker 2>Rat?
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for watching w CW magazine.
<v Speaker 2>Hooray you can find on newsstands this week, James, when
<v Speaker 2>you're at food, lie and whatever you want to do
<v Speaker 2>that it don't talks me.
<v Speaker 1>So Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura are ring side here
<v Speaker 1>to introduce the featured bout of.
<v Speaker 2>The evening two out of three Falls main Event, and
<v Speaker 2>j R. Says it's gonna be a regular feature here.
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know how long that goes on for.
<v Speaker 2>I'm interested. Actually, look, maybe I'll go take a look
<v Speaker 2>in a minute. But yeah, the two out of three
<v Speaker 2>falls main event TV title z Man versus Stunning Steve
<v Speaker 2>Austin with Paul E Dangerously.
<v Speaker 1>I love the way that they came to the ring here.
<v Speaker 1>Z Man comes from the hallway to the ring. Steve
<v Speaker 1>Austin comes from the hallway to the ring. Steve Austin
<v Speaker 1>looks awesome. Here He's got the title, he's got the robe.
<v Speaker 1>Paulice just looks like the complete package.
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy again, Like I mentioned at the top, Steve Austin,
<v Speaker 2>here Jr's calling the match and then this is like
<v Speaker 2>the this like that combination is pro wrestling to me,
<v Speaker 2>but here it's so different. Austin still. I mean this
<v Speaker 2>guy could have been.
<v Speaker 1>A top guy too, by the way, Yeah, I think
<v Speaker 1>so too.
<v Speaker 2>Like this version, Yeah, like he looks par I mean
<v Speaker 2>his gear is nuts, by the way, I probably changed
<v Speaker 2>probably changed trunks, but uh everything else I thought it
<v Speaker 2>was cool.
<v Speaker 1>I love the announcer in the ring has the mike
<v Speaker 1>wire just going over the top rope.
<v Speaker 2>What else are we gonna do? Put under Tom Zenk
<v Speaker 2>almost ran right into it, trimping, dude, trimping, breaking his
<v Speaker 2>legs before two and three falls. Match would have been
<v Speaker 2>fucking horrible.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So Steve Austin takes off the robes and he's
<v Speaker 1>got the most eighties, nineties, whatever era you can think
<v Speaker 1>of trunks of all time. This is like what the
<v Speaker 1>inside of the mall looked like when I was young.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, it looks like one of those cups, the fucking yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I know.
<v Speaker 1>What you're talking about. Yeah, like the retro cups.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly.
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is like, I swear to god, Taco
<v Speaker 1>Bell used to have like seats that look like this.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I think you're right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like it just looked like that inside Taco Bell.
<v Speaker 1>That was back when you can get Taco Bell for cheap.
<v Speaker 1>And for some reason everything is seven dollars now.
<v Speaker 2>The future looks bad. They also say there will be
<v Speaker 2>a one minute reci period between falls. I thought that
<v Speaker 2>that was you know that just I'm doing that. Turns
<v Speaker 2>out James is right, definitely ad spot for that, which
<v Speaker 2>is yeah, fucking brilliant.
<v Speaker 1>We start with a lock up here, and I love
<v Speaker 1>the little things that Steve Austin would do here, like
<v Speaker 1>very old school type heel stuff, grabbing z Man's hair
<v Speaker 1>to bring him to the rope. Yes, an immediately eating
<v Speaker 1>crow when it comes time to take the shoulder tackle.
<v Speaker 1>Just stuff like that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was, I mean he was bumping crazy for
<v Speaker 2>z Man too.
<v Speaker 1>Z Man starts spamming quick pins here, uh, and Ventura says,
<v Speaker 1>you got to wear down your opponent more. But I
<v Speaker 1>actually thought it was you know, there's two sides of
<v Speaker 1>the corner that you know, like spamming pins does wear
<v Speaker 1>your opponent down. Shit is hard to keep kicking out, Yeah, getting.
<v Speaker 2>Up for sure. Yeah, but I did like that at
<v Speaker 2>least you know, threw that in there, like because absolutely
<v Speaker 2>it's funny because he throws that in. Uh when zee
<v Speaker 2>Man does it immediately after Austin does a back suplex
<v Speaker 2>and pins them and Jesse doesn't say shit.
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin misses with two big lines here and z
<v Speaker 1>Man hits a cross body into a drop very nice.
<v Speaker 2>He's a spams drop kicks as fucking z Man too,
<v Speaker 2>by the.
<v Speaker 1>Way, Yeah he does little Tommy zenk follows up with
<v Speaker 1>one more drop kick, but Steve Austin makes a miss
<v Speaker 1>and takes back over with the back elbow. Austin follows
<v Speaker 1>up with a gut rich supplex, but z Man fires
<v Speaker 1>back with some punches for a two count.
<v Speaker 2>I like the gut runch. That was cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was something different for sure. Z Man rolls
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin up here, but Pauli distracts the ref on
<v Speaker 1>the apron. Austin reverses the pin and pulls the tights
<v Speaker 1>to pick up the first fall.
<v Speaker 2>I mean he pulls the tights too, like he could
<v Speaker 2>have fucking got a ten count on this sucker. He
<v Speaker 2>had that fucking in and first falling. We we go
<v Speaker 2>to commercial. When we come back, ze Man's arguing with
<v Speaker 2>the ref and Paul, which leads to Austin jumping him. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I love the little water breaks they do.
<v Speaker 2>To cool visual like, yeah, I go into your corner, yes, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>And then fucking of course, Hayman or PAULI had the
<v Speaker 2>big bottle for Austin to drink out of, like you know,
<v Speaker 2>you see in a basketball game.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they should have put the Hamburger press on his head.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, put the seat down, would be funny.
<v Speaker 2>Get out of the rig.
<v Speaker 1>Z Man and Austin fight on the outside here and
<v Speaker 1>Austin runs z Man's shoulder into the post, and that
<v Speaker 1>is where the match changes drastically.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Austin goes after that arm and shoulder the rest
<v Speaker 2>of the shit. He slams against the guard rail and shit,
<v Speaker 2>he's he's really giving it to him.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he locks him in. Z Man is able to
<v Speaker 1>get Austin down. He starts targeting the arm himself. They
<v Speaker 1>trade back and forth over their arms for a bit.
<v Speaker 2>There's a part of her during that that Jr. Jared says, fans,
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to encourage you to call it a wrestling
<v Speaker 2>hot line. The Ross Report has some late breaking information
<v Speaker 2>on the dealings with it The Dangerous Alliance, and Jesse says,
<v Speaker 2>you know, I heard about your your hotline, Jim raw
<v Speaker 2>and I heard you lie through your teeth on there
<v Speaker 2>is that true? Not a chance? Well, I'm gonna call it.
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna call it, and I'm gonna find out. Hey,
<v Speaker 2>what do you mean, not a chance? You're telling me
<v Speaker 2>you never told a fib in your life. I didn't
<v Speaker 2>sharee that.
<v Speaker 1>Z Man is able to miss direct Steve during an
<v Speaker 1>Irish whip and he hits a thees press and picks
<v Speaker 1>up a quick pin here for the second fall to
<v Speaker 1>make it one to one.
<v Speaker 2>That's a good move. He should you know, Austin might
<v Speaker 2>want to pick that one up, Jim. The fes Press
<v Speaker 2>the fest Press looked good too, by the way, like
<v Speaker 2>he got up there and on z Man's comeback that
<v Speaker 2>you could hear only children channing z Man. It was
<v Speaker 2>a super baby face moment. I loved it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely. Austin misses with a Memphis here on the ropes.
<v Speaker 1>He bounces back across the ring.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, he fucking memphis is and lends. He
<v Speaker 2>finds himself in the middle. That's how far he goes.
<v Speaker 2>I said, wow.
<v Speaker 1>Z Man hits a stiff line here but runs his
<v Speaker 1>shoulder into the buckle after Austin moves and Austin takes back.
<v Speaker 2>And Austin does the salt of the earth.
<v Speaker 1>Z Man fires back with a few dropkicks here, but
<v Speaker 1>he runs straight into the stun gun by Austin and
<v Speaker 1>Austin picks up the win.
<v Speaker 2>I again, like the fucking pillman finish we saw earlier.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you know who's helping put this
<v Speaker 2>shit together, but I love how they got to this finish.
<v Speaker 2>Like z Man's up. The man's up. He's firing all
<v Speaker 2>cylinders and it's just one thing. He just made one
<v Speaker 2>wrong move where he dropped, kicked and then went for
<v Speaker 2>another thirds press. He jumped up there, Austin caught that
<v Speaker 2>motherfucker stun gun. You're dead cause that is his move.
<v Speaker 1>Jim Ross says that's his favorite maneuver.
<v Speaker 2>I like even better signature move, favorite move. I'll take
<v Speaker 2>all of these. I'll take all of these, dude. Great
<v Speaker 2>finish and again, uh super they gave the time. It
<v Speaker 2>was a title match. It was important. It's you know,
<v Speaker 2>it's a quote unquote mid card title, right, it's not
<v Speaker 2>a world title, but it's it was important that it
<v Speaker 2>was the main event of this debut show, and they
<v Speaker 2>gave it time. And these you know, Zman did all
<v Speaker 2>his shit. He had to shine, and Austin showed he's
<v Speaker 2>just smarter. You know, he maybe not better, but he
<v Speaker 2>was smarter, and that fucking caught him at the end.
<v Speaker 2>I'd love this finish so much.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, TV title main eventing on TV is a pretty
<v Speaker 1>cool concept.
<v Speaker 2>That's you would think that would be a really easy concept, dude.
<v Speaker 1>I feel like every single fucking wrestling show I watched
<v Speaker 1>over my time as a wrestling fan, from when it
<v Speaker 1>was like being created, during the time watching TV title
<v Speaker 1>never maine event and.
<v Speaker 2>Why like why is it just you know, eventually just
<v Speaker 2>moved to like more main eventors were on the shows
<v Speaker 2>to like the TV title Yeah, maybe that's guy. I
<v Speaker 2>can only assume like TV title was a like the
<v Speaker 2>world champion was there, Yeah right, exactly.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura throw us to the
<v Speaker 1>main event for next week Saturday Night, which is the
<v Speaker 1>Free Birds versus Greg Valentine and the Tailor made Man
<v Speaker 1>for the United States Tag team titles. Is that well,
<v Speaker 1>we'll see here in just a minute.
<v Speaker 2>Two out of three fall man event next week. And
<v Speaker 2>Jesse is playing around with the sunglasses and he says,
<v Speaker 2>you know what, Ross, how do you look in sunglasses?
<v Speaker 2>And he puts them on them not too good and
<v Speaker 2>he takes them off them. You know that's gonna be
<v Speaker 2>a phenomenal match. These two teams, both veterans know what
<v Speaker 2>two out of three falls is. And then we throw
<v Speaker 2>it to comments from both teams. So we got a
<v Speaker 2>free Bird's promo. Jimmy Garvin is the craziest looking guy ever. Man, Like,
<v Speaker 2>you're telling me this guy was a womanizer looking Jimmy Garvin,
<v Speaker 2>that's right, this guy is fucking crazy looking. Man. He says, yeah, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>next week, two out of three falls. Let me tell
<v Speaker 2>you something, Greg Valentine and you Terry Taylor, I said,
<v Speaker 2>what that's right?
<v Speaker 1>Terry Taylor dressed up as Ted Dbassi.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, I had like a legit. I had to pause
<v Speaker 2>and like figure out what was going on because I,
<v Speaker 2>for a second thought, like just a funny picture popped
<v Speaker 2>up on my computer somehow of Terry Taylor dressed as
<v Speaker 2>the Million Dollar Man, Like when was DBS not already
<v Speaker 2>doing this? Uh?
<v Speaker 1>I assume he was?
<v Speaker 2>I mean maybe I I there's a chance that this
<v Speaker 2>gimmick wasn't like a fresh one, right, maybe million Dollar Man,
<v Speaker 2>which is kind of the most popular version of it,
<v Speaker 2>but like it is one to one what the million
<v Speaker 2>Dollar Man looks like? It's crazy?
<v Speaker 1>And Greg Valentine looks like Triple eight.
<v Speaker 2>Holy fuck, he looks like Triple h two K twenty six.
<v Speaker 1>Only fuck.
<v Speaker 2>It's the dude. I sent the picture of fucking Greg
<v Speaker 2>Valentine and Terry Taylor in the group chat, and Maacha
<v Speaker 2>sent a picture of Sean and Triple achrom two K
<v Speaker 2>twenty six. I sort of got in the same exact picture,
<v Speaker 2>Like shit is crazy, man, Yeah, Garvin says, the United
<v Speaker 2>States titles are going to go around our waist, and
<v Speaker 2>then the world titles are next. So the US tag
<v Speaker 2>titles and the World tag titles are two different belts.
<v Speaker 2>Then mm hmm, Okay, who the fuck has the world
<v Speaker 2>won the Road Warriors or something?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, probably Steiner brothers.
<v Speaker 2>Oh you know what, that's probably not a bad child
<v Speaker 2>at all.
<v Speaker 1>They seemingly had to do this primo a lot because
<v Speaker 1>Taylor made Man was mouthing Greg Valentine's part of this
<v Speaker 1>program as he was doing.
<v Speaker 2>God, I'm so glad you fucking saw that.
<v Speaker 1>He was probably like, please just get this right. Fuck you,
<v Speaker 1>I'm the hammer, goddamn bitch, that's what you should have
<v Speaker 1>said the promo. Made Man says, hey, I'm Teddy b Assi,
<v Speaker 1>and Greg Valentine says, I'm the hammer bitch.
<v Speaker 2>Tickets for sure? Yeah, for real, dude, these guys are
<v Speaker 2>crazy looking, man, I mean I'm the.
<v Speaker 1>Goddamn hammer, all right, Greg, Jesus Christ.
<v Speaker 2>So Teddy BOSSI says right here. Next week, two out
<v Speaker 2>of three falls free birds with the US titles. I
<v Speaker 2>don't think so. The US champs don't play that, And
<v Speaker 2>Greg says, two out of three falls puts us at
<v Speaker 2>a disadvantage. How the hell's that? Why are you alright?
<v Speaker 1>You don't like that? How about this?
<v Speaker 2>No? Because no, we gotta do it again, fucking ship.
<v Speaker 2>Just stick to the lines, Greg, stick.
<v Speaker 1>To them a long long is this primo?
<v Speaker 2>Good God, holy shit, I'll do mine again, all right, right, hey.
<v Speaker 1>Now it's fucking ten seconds.
<v Speaker 2>Fuck you, We've been here for thirty minutes because you
<v Speaker 2>won't fucking get it right.
<v Speaker 1>It's time to play the game.

<v Speaker 1>It's time to play the game, allright, my fucker.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, they uh, they go back to ringside here
<v Speaker 2>with JR and Jesse, and JR talks about Jesse joining
<v Speaker 2>Tony Shavonni next weekend for w W Worldwide, which they're
<v Speaker 2>also promoting huge, and Jesse says, well, I'm pumped up
<v Speaker 2>about it, Jim Ross, because I've said it before. W
<v Speaker 2>CW is the future wrestling, and you're right, you don't
<v Speaker 2>look good in shades. JR. Closes the show and the

<v Speaker 2>a levels. But yeah, but that is uh, that's said

<v Speaker 2>here from from this era of TV shows that we've
<v Speaker 2>been watching.

<v Speaker 2>No, I liked it too man like it. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know what the next. That was the one thing that
<v Speaker 2>was also a little different. I mean they you know,
<v Speaker 2>they they were talking about the next upcoming matches, but
<v Speaker 2>they weren't like shilling like the tickets or the next
<v Speaker 2>events as much as I thought they would as compared
<v Speaker 2>to w WF in their house shows. Mmm. But uh
<v Speaker 2>that's other than that. Like, I mean, it felt like
<v Speaker 2>they were purposely trying to be different than than WWF,
<v Speaker 2>you know, longer matches, longer promos, this, that and the other.
