store, bar, arcade, and arena are all on the same block.
Scratch that major itch. Here's swimming wrestling, very good podcast songs on little
show talking verge to collectable balls. Here we all, let's go, godle
listen here to buy everything bad Minim O'Brien sing. You want to say a
smart park. It's raining up the show, It's time to talk, Let's
go. Welcome to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast Rewind. I am your host
slash curator, Jay George, and this is a show where I take some
of the best classic ultimate major moments from the Major POD's rich five year history
and I put it together for new and old Major marks to enjoy. This
week, we're coming off a successful live fourteen weekend. What a weekend it
was, What an event it was. Thank you all for coming. But
one of the special guests at that show was Maven, who's become a bit
of a fixture on the pod throughout the years. And I found a clip
where man, he not only does he open the show as you're about to
hear, but the guys kind of talked about how they found Maven is kind
of a wild story. It's out of obscurity where they you know, Brian
ran into Maven at a nightclub. Except you're gonna hear the whole story,
and it's a Maven lore for you guys. That's from episode twenty seven.
And also from episode twenty seven, we have Oh Baby Heath. I believe
this is Heath's first podcast appearance, and he gets into this is where Stank.
You want to know where Staning came from? This is it. He
talks about his figure, his early childhood figure, fed gays and all that,
all the good stuff, and of course I had to sprinkle in some
weekly purchases from episode one oh four. But this is a jam packed episode.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. I want you
to take a quick trip down memory lane with me and think about being young
and what was your favorite thing to play with? What was that one thing
that the moment it got in your hands gave you instant gratification. Hello Action

Yeah, so ahead of I think next time when we do it,
we need a go pro set up and fill them all because some of them
are very very entertaining. I mean, it goes both ways. Though sometimes
it's very funny. Sometimes it's very heartfelt. You know, it's it's a

awarding. Oh listen, bit little bit backs put us on speak. Thanks
were buying our hat from Pro Wrestling Tease dot com. Elizabeth, What do
you think? Elizabeth? What do you think? What do you think?
You're live on the pod. What do you think of Sam Roberts? Well,
like I, like I said to you last time, I would call
him a bushy haired Mark, but that would really be an insult at bushy
haired Mark. Do you think the Hambros Is close going Gambros? I like
doing Gambros, Yeah, it doesn't like doing justice though. And also I'm
still convinced that the Beard may have taken over that weird Beardy had going on.
He may not be operating under his own volition. You know I did
a good point. All right, Elizabeth, we gotta go. We're busy
at Row. You're busy at work. Thanks for being a major, Mark.
I know you're gonna buy the backscratch, you probably already bought it,
and we always appreciate your support. Well, I will always support you.
Guys, are all right? One final word on Sam Roberts and while he
sucks, I see nine singer perfect however sucks nice Elizabeth alright, alright,
bye Atlanta. Great times anyway, thinking a great great guys and great times.
What about Maybe? How did you get maybe intro the show? Oh
man, how good was that? Bro was barking out. I really don't
even know how or what, but Maybe and I befriended each other on my
indie run a couple of years back. Okay, so you were telling a
story earlier to somebody about you met maybe at FCW or something like that.
So that was the first time I met him. He lived in Tampa when
I lived in Tampa and I was in FCW, and he would time to
time, like drop in the tapings. Okay, yeah, that's where I
met him at him but like, we had no relationship then because I remember
we were in New York City, maybe like five or six years ago.
We went to a bar club and he was the bouncer. So then that's
the only thing he worked at A very like popular club slash Bar in the
city after that New York City. In New York City and I people would
go, hey, I saw mabn at this club. I said, he
probably saw I looked like and he lives in Tampa. And this kept happening
to me repeatedly because because whatever it would come up and if if it's my
mutual friend, I'm like, I know a wrestler. You're a wrestler,
I know, and it which just happened, and I'd be like, you
didn't meet Maybe he lives in Tampa. And then we went to that club
slash Bar, and I'm like, oh my god, that's maybe I love
him because he's my buddy now and we're pretty good friends. But I know
he's one of your all time favorite. He's up there. I mean,
I love tough enough. He was my pick from day one. I think.
Wait, no, I know, I knew he was gonna win such
a mark for Mayben theme song. He's like everything everything, a bad daddy
as a fan, his whole run is like theme song. He just didn't
get so he didn't get the right break. We should just ask that if
we can have that song as our song. He didn't get right brand now.
I mean, I'm sure I have a lot of things, you know,
went the other way for him. You know, he could have been
a big story. I don't see why he wouldn't. I remember you got
me his shoot interview once on DVD. I was like so excited. Maybe,
oh Man, one of my absolute favorites. Uh. I thought he
put a lot of effort into the intros. That was really great. Yeah,
when he went he went above and beyond what we asked when we asked
people to do. That was my favorite intro ever. I love maybe.
So here we're doing housekeeping here. I have in my notes Sam Roberts is
real scum. Well, duh, we're not up to the Sam Roberts barrel,
are we. We're just going to jump to that. Well, this
bleeds into it, you know. So also I feel like a referencing first
of all, Sam Roberts, the Not Sam Wrestling podcast or whatever that thing
is. First the Major Pod World tour a couple of weeks at Caroline's February
twenty seventh. Wednesday, February twenty seventh. I cannot wait. First ever
live event, and it's to be a burial. A burial, guys,
getting your tickets now carolines dot Com. Prices are cheap. There's a VIP.
Guys, buy the VIP because the VIP is the only way to meet
us. We will do We're providing a nice print, we're gonna sign an
autographic. We're gonna meet you guys, take picks, all that stuff.
But that's only for VIP buyers, So make sure you get that VIP.
That's the only way to meet, right Myers and Cardona, Right, and
I know, and if you want to meet Sam and say something, you
know, to his face about how horrible he is, that would be the
way to do that. We're gonna have some surprise guests. We're gonna have
a probably gonna have a fan qune during the show. Giveaways. Okay,
it is going to be the ring side raffle. Everybody who comes in will
get a raffle. You walk through that door, you buy and take a
raffle ticket to pay for a raffleck, you'll get it. And just for
show. Right and during the show, John and Trevor from Ringside will be
there and they will call out. We will have about I don't know,
I'm not gonna see how many prizes, but a decent amount of prizes,
big prizes, too big prizes, and uh, I should say probably no
more than ten let's no price, no more than ted prize. This is
worth your while. Well, they're all worth your while. And if you're
flying in like for some people, you might not. David and I have
to check on major mark Ye. Also, hoop Chats is gonna be there,
great podcast doing a little open, little opening set. I thought it
was gonna be five minutes. They said it's gonna be ten minutes. I
thought five. It was gonna be help and they can do whatever, they
can do whatever they want. We're putting on a hell of a show.
I have it all mapped out and planned out. I know Sam usually has
like four people just in chairs on a mic and it's barring, barring.
All right, that's not what we're putting on the show. And it's shrive
a Ganza, the granddaddy of all podcasts. So I have in my note
Sam Roberts is scum and I know I keep I wrap the bat now twice,
I'm gonna have to reference my time away from Baby. I actually did
a movie. You stole my role Romance in the Digital Age. Brother,
It's mc manson he couldn't do that role. I'm sure he did, and
I'm sure he also must have known that you could have never pulled off Pythagoras
quite like I did. So that Gavin pronounced that day. That's aggress the
reason I'm not for you not to have the roll. But anyway, a
fellow was in that movie with me. His name is Joe Murphy. We've
become friendly over the years. We follow each other on social media. He's
at the Joe Murphy. If you want to, you know, clarify this
story I'm about to say from him, he can back it up. He's
a wrestling fan. He keeps up with what's going on and whatnot. So
he wrote me this and I'd like to read it right now. Okay.
Caught up on the podcast this week. I love it. I have a
Sam Roberts story WrestleMania twenty nine. My buddy and I went looking for the
seam punk Second City Savior shirt. I got the last excel at one booth
and we went to like ten others to find him a medium. Finally,
we asked the merchant people what size the display was and they said it was
a medium. At first they didn't want to take the shirt off the wall
because WB said they couldn't do such thing, but we sweet talked them and
they eventually sold it to us. Since we all were already out in the
concourse, we went to look in the Big WrestleMania store. We get there
and who do we see? Dot Dot Dot Doink and bros. I actually
love Open Anthony, So I go and introduce myself to Sam. We talked
for a little and he asked us where he where we found the CM puncture
because he was looking for it as well. We told him our story and
there's no mediums left in the entire stadium. My buddy, Jeremy says to
Sam, I'll give you this shirt if you get my buddy on your show
to promote his movie, which is actually, uh, the precursor of the
movie I did. Like a guy's a it's it's not it's he makes movies
there you do a movie about Virgil. He's both of these actually, and
movies called Bridge and Tunnel. He goes, Sam agreed, gives us and
gives us his email address. I get. I've sent him to emails,
no response. He talked about the exchange eventually in Open endy, but never
brought anyone in or anything. What a piece of it. Took a shirt
of a man's cut a deal that sounds like the grand then ignored emails and
completely jobbed them out. And you can't even be like, oh I forgot
about that. If someone you show up their back and the last one that
sounds like you don't forget that is so grimy, and not because of his
disgusting beard. It's his beard is out growing into a dog. I saw
on his instagram. What was that? Oh? I think he's been picking
up the shed and pears and gluing into his face. Disgusting. Well,
Sam is going down. It's a couple of weeks away, Caroline, anything
else, anything else for follow up anyone's struggling. I have a have a
few things go ahead. Someone tweeted us this week and the pretty much ruined
my week. Okay, ECW original San Francis toy Maker's new Jack. No
news, no news, but it was autographed so it was legit. How
to be no prototype, it's men on card, it wasn't loose. So
basically, if you want to catch up to speed, I don't think we
ever discussed this on here and being in ECW die Hard that I am so
For years I heard of this figure, but I assumed it was just a
rumor. Okay, I never found proof. You never saw any picture,
oh, proof of nothing. So I went, so, uh, I've
been distrusted all week about this because I don't have it in my collection.
And now not only do I need it, I need one to open and
let breathe, and I need to find another one that has to be minty,
impossible to be signed. Why don't get the one that is signed?
Why don't you that one? It's disgusting, has like the tag. You
need to find two more, the one, even the one that is just
a Google image, like there's no Steve and I've been googling and I can
only from Minnesota. You don't know if he has this free clue. But
anyway, the new Jack that came out in series two, he has a
noose molded onto his neck, and then in series three is repainted. The
news is still there. And then finally in that last set that thrills on
set, which is by by the way, if you're looking for a new
Jack, that's the best and most accurate new Jack. It's gone, but
it's a completely new mold that looks like almost the same, but it's gone.
I never realized that. So it's it's that version painted the way of
this. You know, it's so crazy too, Like I don't know which
I know I have a series two New Jack, but I don't know if
he has a news. So I don't think this is like a Savvio situation
where like it's fifty fifty Like I can't even find photos of this. Imagine
if I look at my collection I have it, what would you do?
What would you be? I'd be thrilled and upset all at the same time,
thrill zone. You'd be thrill zone, thrill zone and upset. So
anyway, folks, if you have any leads on that, and you want
to be a week and I only do, do I need one? I
need to man, I'm gonna have to book New Jacket, create a pro
for no reason, just to have him sign a figure. Well then you
don't think I won't do it, but I know you totally would be get
him in your creed a pro ring. That's fine, that's an easy fix.
It's an easy fix, you think so because I can just get one
with the news. That's four dollars everywhere. Okay, weekly purchases, all
right, weekly purchases. I had a bunch of things on here real quick.
Let me get out of the way. I gotta Hawkins ay by ten?
Maybe by ten Aldamatoya, you know, selling son of a bit.
You didn't even put it up. You didn't even text maybe about it.
I did not. What do you throw him in the trash spreading? Oh?
I got him, they got him? I got him here? What
are they saying? These are all on the blog? These are in the
vlog. By the way, there's two Matt. I heart you, Maven.
By the way, it's like a fake API kid, Come bro,
this is the indies welcome. Next is a this is a w W E
E time. It's definitely photocopied. It's not real. Two Matt, bro
promise indies, Maven. Then there's two Matt. When it comes, it
comes, Kurt Hawkins, thanks for putting me over on Superstars. Oh sorry,
thanks for putting me over on speed Wait what? Thanks for putting me
over on Superstars? A ninety five kid? Love it? That was very
nice with me. Man. You should cherish you should cherish those Bruce didn't
of you had said that I've been in w W E S ninety five.
Oh my god, I thought it was pretty funny. He did put and
say some kind of words about me. So thank you. I've actually been
enjoying I've been enjoying Euros YouTube stuff. He's great. What does he do
on YouTube? Brian? He rest his own like podcast show Russet does.
Yeah, I really have no clue. Sorry, all right, let me
know check it up. All right, folks, it's a funny story.
I don't know if I said this publicly, but when when Brian got released,
Russef texted me. I said something like Hawkins got released, and I
said, yeah, I bet I'm coming soon, and he wrote like no
way, and then like when Russef got released, and then like it was
no that Russef and me got released. I texted Russef like the eye emoji.
Man, I'm sure he loved that. He didn't respond. Uh.
I had a real light week. I'll go let me just say this right
now. I'm gonna go last. Well, in a long story, I
did purchase a figure in the wild for the first time, and I legit
cannot remember, but we had a really big tropical storm in the East Coast
this week and a lot of Long Island lost power. Fortunate it was supposed
to like people were losing power the night of my aw in Ring debut.
I felt like I felt like Authourage with the Stroke movie premiere. Yeah,
man, I did Wake of that. Yeah, so that's the night actually
that I went out. So people, a lot of people lost power.
It was pretty bad. I mean my lawn furniture, I mean we didn't
lose power, but my lawn furniture. Furniture literally got whipped around, like
I didn't even think was possible, like stuff like that. Fortunately, like
I said, not know any real damage. And we didn't lose power,
but a lot of Long Island did because of the pandemic. A lot of
times we do this service with Whole Foods where they deliver so we don't have
to go out and stuff and things like that. So that was shut down.
So this was like, no, we kind of need groceries. And
I was running around I create a pro and I was like, all right,
I'll get some stuff in the way. I'm just to play it safe.
And it was the right thing to do that, like, you know,
because things were kind of shut down for a little bit. Anyway,
as I was going to get grocers to Target, of course I have to
cruise the toil. I was shocked. They're pretty stacked and I found I
think, a case fresh case of the new legends, and yeah, all
right, and the one I needed was that non Chase Greg Boom, the
only one there. I grabbed it. I had previously got Weasel, and
I'm gonna pass on Razor. I saw him stare at them down. I
don't need him, not even Baggy Fomo worthy. So Rais is one of
my favorites. So I got him, but he's not making the cut on
the display. Sorry. If he had the pointed thumbs, yes, game
changer. But this is just not enough for me. Greg, though,
awesome figure man, awesome fingured have you got? You got? Head?
Is that I haven't gotten the regular one yet? Just the Chase. I'm
glad you guys have come around. I'm Greg the Amber Valentine look great.
Look you need Greg's He's a legend, for sure. We don't. And
we've gone this along with that one, which is crazy to think about,
but that's it. Like I don't even need this Chase, Greg, Okay,
I wouldn't hate that if they if they made that happen, okay,
sure, but I mean this is I'm happy this is the one on the
Greg. The shin Guard is very very cool and unique. At that chase
was like one of the laziest things I've ever thought. You can't put him
in like black and red or something. I mean, I think the chase
literally without the rope, which is like a call cut black hair rhythm and
those trunks, and people would have been over the moon about it, right
right. You don't need yellow, Oh god, that is I can't wait
to display my yellow I described yellow Greg next to my plain black trunks.
Greg. No, I just either way, great figure. Like I said,
the shin Guard really really really was like an added cool thing to like
what could have been a very plain figure. I agree in the robes very
nice. I mean, I'm thrilled with it. So I do think this
is where Mattel is going wrong with these chases, and now sometimes they have
knocked it out of the park. I think the chase should be oh my
god, I need to get this chase, not like, well, which
one should I get? I agree? I mean, we don't make these
toys, but if I were, I would sit back and look at these
lineups like, okay, what could I do with whatever? Guy? And
not just you know, I'm sorry, Lana and two outfits in the basic
said it's like they could have done something a little cool in that, right,
or like come on, like the Mabel. Yeah, I think that
was the Hurricane Maybel and Hurricane where you have to stare to realize which one
you got. So well, okay, was that necessary? I don't know.
I agree. I say, if you're gonna do it, do it,
and then you make two highly sought after figures, Yeah, I agree,
or just go all the way? Uh? Anyway, Greg's awesome.
I mean, obviously, if you're a completesc you need him to go get
him. I was thrilled to just get him in the wild. And that
was weird. That was such a weird moment for me to buy a figure
in the wild. So straight that was your one purchase. Uh well,
technically there's the championship in Basic Ring, which you can watch on the viral
video on our YouTube channel from brink Side and I will go last. So
I have a lot of things here. So I went to Ikea this week.
Now, if you know anything about Ikea. It's a pain in the
ass, at least where I live, because it's quite far away from me.
But the thing about Ikea delivery is that, like it's not like Amazon,
like you need to have like an exact date and time scheduled, like
they won't leave it outside your house. So that's why I'm very hesitant to
do Ikea delivery, if that makes sense, Yeah, because I don't know
when I'm going to be home and what time. Every single day, you
have no idea when you're gonna be home at what time. But like it's
not like next day delivery. It's like in three weeks, you know,
soul, you put on your calendar in three weeks, just don't leave it
ten am wait for this delivery. I don't know that's what a normal I
want to Ikea. I needed to get two new details, and I want
to build some sort of set instead of just being in front of those title
belts, which I think is cool and maybe I'll balance back and forth,
but I want some kind of like set in my office. Why were you
so bashful for Tony Condor set year titles? I didn't want all the w
W logos in the back. Were you bashful for TK to see the Internet
title. Well, it was just the Internet title both on it. But
there's all those w logos, very Chelsea's impact titles there too. Sure that
it's important to be anyway. So first of all, no detops what not?
Not only were they not only were they not in stock like not even
on display man, we need to get a little sponsorship, bro, I
cann't believe it. Yeah, so I ended up. I asked the major
marks. A couple of people have some great suggestions, but I got two
things called a calyx k A L l a X. Yep, they look
almost like cubbies. Literally stays yeah, you could do the like horizontally horizontally.
I did too vertically. Now you know me, I'm mister task gravit
himself. I can't do anything. I even went to the Facebook group dask
how to change a light bulb this week? And that's the truth, which,
by the way, nobody gave me a good answer. But uh,
I built on my own. Since we got released, I'm trying to save
a little money. I built these on my own, and I couldn't believe
how easy they were to build. I built the first one and a half
hour, the second one in fifteen minutes. I'm shocked. All this is
shocking and shocking. Now listen this, Brian, You'll love this. So
I my room right now looks like a stop grenade went off. It's a
huge mess, and I've repositioned everything cause I'm trying to build this set.
So I finally got like the two calaxies where I need them to be.
What's on display right now is just like placeholders to see what does That's what
you went with it, Okay, no, no, no, But what
I wanted on top was the Neon Jesus sign. Okay, but I quickly
learned and Mark will back me up because I asked him. You cannot light
up a sign in videos. It like ruins the whole shot. You can't
have it in the background because it's too too powerful. Yeah, the camera
wants to change the the setting of the shot to the light of the light
in the back. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. My whole point
of doing this display slash set was the spokel point to be the sign,
and now it can't be. So now I don't know what I just did
because I don't don't I thought you're gonna put that downstairs, like in that
like kind of game room. I might I might end up doing that now,
but I wanted it to be like a focal point of the uh the
set, by the way, if you had if you had Saggles. I
saw swaggles Neon Jesus sign this week, by the way. It his doesn't
have the box to hang in the wall like ours have. I was like,
is very powerful. No, but you know, I like the box
you can hang you screwed to the wall and it looks nice. He doesn't
have that, And I was like, well, Neon Jesus is working on
I'll break the news now a special sign that will say major mark uh in
the major pod FOT looks really cool. We'll work on the details anyway.
So at least two Calyx things. Don't know what I'm gonna do with them.
They were very cheap seventy bucks each. Yeah yeah, but there's open
air, so they're gonna get dusty. They will. So I'm not displaying
like figures and stuff in here. I'll have like a title belt or like
a mint on card figure. You know what I'm saying. Okay, so
if I have to dust it, I'm really just picking up one thing and
dusting it. Yea. By the way, you can have a light in
the background if you have like a camera that you can manually change the settings
to focus. I got. I got an old iPhone. I know.
Yeah, I got fired, bro. I just wanted to say that out
loud because somebody would be like, wow, actually mad if you get the
yeah. Yeah. So last week, Brian, you were the one who
had the aw figures. I got them all from Ringside. I also got
the the ring and the belt, and I found the ring and belt at
Walmart, so I got I got the ring before I got from Ringside.
I was just so anxious to build it and really I just wanted h to
take a picture of me, Cody and arnand in that ring before you know,
Ringside chip for me. So thank you, Ringside, Thank you Walmart.
Something that I didn't really do in the beginning of this pod, but
Marky and I are something to do it, and Brian you're doing as well.
People like when we talk about non wrestling things, so I'm gonna start
to incorporate that a little more. Yeah, I got the nineteen fifty five
Marty McFly Funko Pop I talked about a couple weeks ago, Funko was doing
a like another Back to the Future line, some of them I did not
get. I was very bummed out about their Back to the Future to Marty.
If you know what he looks like in Back to the Future two,
he has this like very colorful, shiny, like metallic futuristic hat. Okay,
I think even you might know what it is. Brian real confession.
I oh god, I've seen these movies like once as a kid. Like
I didn't like, I don't obsessed with them or I mean I know what
they are or whatever. So anyway, like imagine this guy's hat supposed to
be like rainbow colored, right, it's like one of those materials where like
the way that if you move it and the light hits it turns colors.
Yep. Okay, anyway, so and I love Funko, but they just
painted it silver. I was like what, And like I refused to get
it at a principle. Okay, this is just two this is like that's
so Jack's I couldn't do it. Wow, Yeah, but I got nineteen
fifty five. Funko is like attention to detail and lack of attention. It's
kind of baffling sometimes, Like I got kind of turned off by the sports
guys because they're all literally the same. Like if you're a picture, it's
this one post. If you're a bad or, it's it's like it wasn't
there wasn't very exciting for me. Interesting. Our good friend Tugboat Guy,
he I haven't heard him in a while, but it came through. He
he text usages me. He found the RVD rob Band m ECW figure that
came with the ring. He had it mint. He said he had the
SABO, but he doesn't know where it is. So he sent me the
RBD still had the title belt on him and he threw in a nice edge
Christian bandet. Thank you guy, I had I forgot that. I always
forget that RBD has the belt as well. Huh yes, Mark, do
you have anything yep? Uh real quick. I got a vintage Super Shredder
to play with the toys that I've been playing with my daughter. It's her
Ninja Turtles and it came but it came broken. Oh no, it was
loose, but it was like all the spikes were off. It was kind
of maybe manuck. I just I bought it just to bang around I got
the Honky talk Man Retrofest after we talked about it, because I needed to
recreate that Ninja Turtles picture. Yeah, I at one point this week out
of boredom. I don't know why I'm so busy when I was bored,
but eBay just kind of makes my mind go. I was gonna buy that
figure Mark and put my head on it and make Hawkins tunk man. Oh
and I just like put my phone down and like walked away, like nope,
stop, it's cheap. Well. Well, speaking of that musical mutation
tour the Turtles, Yeah, I got another set from Mark Bidders. I
have one that because I was so torn do I keep this lucy or mitten
package? So and when I say mitten package, I mean like the initial
package is ripped over and but you keep it in the bubble if that makes
sense. Mark, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, of course,
So I got another one from Mark Bidders. So thank you Mark.
Well, I speaking of Mark Bidders, I'm gonna blow your mind right now,
Brosky. Okay, guess what I got in the mail leatherhead and leatherette
and slash from Mark Bidders. I have some turtles before Proskey. That's true,
you do. I haven't opened them yet, but I can't wait to
put them in. It's so bad. I need those big time. Those
are great, great figures from Necca. Wait, Marcus, something you don't
have yea, Yeah, it'll be like only a couple of day, but
Prosy is about to spend three You've changed. I got a this is Ridiculous
special issue Camo Carnage road Dog because that completes my Camo Carnage special issue figures
like these are the ones, the Purple Ones. Yeah, the Purple Carnage.
It says Jack's will no longer include gun related accessories in the Camo Carnage
line. I don't know why I got these there. I just I don't
know. They're bizarre, yeah, and I feel like they were like they
were at like babbages or something like. They weren't like they're like at Spencer
Gifts. Spencer. Yeah, they weren't at like mass retails, and then
they were like kind of hard to find. What if you actually cared back
in the day. I also got non wrestling Black Series Star Wars Luke and
Yoda, like Dagabat Luke kind of like that shirt that we have where Yoda's
in the backpack. Yes, this is a weird thing. I pre ordered
off Hasbro Pulse months ago, and then I was in Walmart. I'm not
on the up and up on the Star Wars figures. I was in Walmart
looking for the aw figures and there was like tons of these Luke and Yodas,
Like what I pre ordered this? So I went to Hasbro Polse dot
com, pulled up my order. It says shipping in October. I'm like
October. I'm like, I'm buying this right now. Can you cancel that?
The Pulse? Cancel the Pulse order. That's ridiculous. It's very weird,
but I got that. I love the Hasbro Black Series figures. Also,
Wrestling Figure Workshop. I ordered their new titles, did you, Bryan?
I thought he was just gonna send them, so I didn't order.
I'm being honest with you. The w Yeah, the Tag the WCW World
and the tag team titles. Looking at him right now. The WCW,
it's not like the Big Gold WCW. It's more like the really nineties WCW.
Yeah, you know, because at that time the Big Gold was like
comes in right then, though, isn't that what the big gold is what
the belts are supposed to be, right? I think so? I always
thought that the belts say the figures really come with right maybe. And then
these tag team titles are I believe NWA times that's where they're blue. Yeah.
I wasn't really as a kid. I was like WCW, like not
NWA, And I know it's so close together. It's dude. Literally,
I think Series one you can get on n WA packaging right right, it
will says w N n W. Yeah. Yeah, so really really cool
belts from wrestling for your workshop. They make awesome belts for your hasbros.
Check them out. And this plug was not paid for. I bought these
belts. I'll plug it again and if you send it to me bro again,
if you send it me again, I'll take you. Yeah. Speaking
of WCW, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago on the pod
thet Mattel Brian Pillman. It took me a couple of bids and a couple
of different auctions, but I finally got it. I've been wanting the second
one because I'm gonna do one with the Austin, the Sunning Steven. Where
did those go for these days? It was like forty five bucks. That's
another figure. It's crazy. That's another figure. It was on Amazon for
like I want to say, less than ten dollars for months. Yeah,
and I months and months and months and months when I was looking for the
Brian Pillman, the ninety seven Brian Pillman stat one would always come up and
I would always be like, why can't why can't you know this? That
one was like twenty dollars. It's crazy, man, Yeah, five bucks
plus eight twenty five ships. Wow, that's that's just man. Literally,
hang on to a Mattel figure for two years. It will it'll go out,
I think. Uh. I think the two year mark is coming up
for Kurt Hawkins elites, and I think they've just about become extinct. So
like as far as like any online or whatever, they're gone. So it's
it's all secondary now and good good luck in your match against Heath and uh
Brian Pillman Junior. Correct, Yes, I just met Brian Pillman Junior at
aw He's a big boy. Yes, Like like I just met him at
boy he was a talking shop imania. I just met him from the first
time he actually held a tan on that kid as well. He worked,
he worked Creative bro. I think Mark third match yeas third match of his
career, but I was on the road, so I wasn't there to meet
him, so I didn't. Yeah. Yeah, hell of a physique,
hell of a tan. I appreciate good Tanna physique because you can control those
things. Only a couple of things. You can control this business your gear,
your physique, your tan, and your attitude. I agree with all
those points. You should teach that at Creative pro I do. Actually,
Pat Buck is Pat Buck is more of the you gotta get a better physique
and a better tan kind of guy. Yeah, I'm usually thinking that I
don't like say it allowed that people because I don't hurt their feelings. But
yeah, but Pat, we'll tell you. God damn, have you ever
heard of a gym? You know, like you'll like lay it on pretty
thick. I had a great conversation with Pat one time. You know,
you check in with trainers every once in a while, and I was just
like, hey, Pat, you know, just wondering, you know,
if there's anything else I should be doing. What do you think? You
know, like, what I was talking completely about what I was doing in
the ring, and he just looks at me and he just goes, get
get much bigger, work out with heavy weights and get a tan. And
I like sat there just like waiting for like an like an expanse on that,
and there was nothing. So I'm like, all right, and I
made it. I made an appointment to get a tan for the first time
in my life. The day after, Oh my god, I love it.
Speaking of Sting, I got something I never had as a kid,
the power Slam WCW Sting Powerslide. Why because I'm for a while I was
toying on the fact, like let me try to get every toy biz And
I was like, oh no, there's just too much. Yeah, too
stupid, But I am going to try to get like every mold if that
makes sense. Sure, So I never understood that mold was used or like
a version of that figure wearing that weird silver armor. This isn't the silver
one. Oh you're talking about that the woman like with the face. Yeah,
he has like a bat that has like spikes on it. That one
I love, except he doesn't have gloves throws it off. So that's the
one and then that that weird silver one I'm gonna have to get even though
I'm thinking I'm thinking of Bruisers. Sorry, Bruisers is like I think the
first time that weird silver and make a bunch of them, bro It's it's
like so many and it's like this has never happened. It made me think
like, is this a complete made up toy concoction or have reference picks?
Like maybe Sting was gonna wear an oufit like this at some point. See
I have Sting in my fantasy pick fed what if I finally use that outfit?
So I don't think you need that Sting, but that Bruisers comes with
the thing to make him come in and out of the ring, I think
you need that. Well, it was a pain in the ass getting him
to come down with the figure photography. There you go. I got it
to work though, yeah, man, oh doesn't really, I'm have to
buy that thing, the Bruisers. The Bruisers thing comes to this whole contraption.
Yeah, but like where if you could put that? I mean,
if you're taking a picture, you can just hold it with the one hand
over and you're you're killing it. But where would it hook on too,
though. Uh, I don't know, you might have to like hook it
onto his jacket comes. I don't know. I can't believe you guys don't
have the Nitro play set yet for your thanks. Dude, that thing goes
for like three hulls. You have the Nitro play set. Yeah, you
have that the arena yea, yeah, I haven't set up in front of
my w CW figure. Oh but I'm saying for at least using part of
it or something for your fig vet. I have the Titan shown. It's
better real quick. While you're looking at up Bill Corkran aka Liam Davis using
government names here, Mark hooked me up with some figs. First, he
gave me a Page the Recent. It was like an exclusive I don't know,
Walmart or Target, whatever the heck. It was just Page's Latest Elite.
But I did that because I was in the backstage segment with Page.
I was her head security guard one night. I don't recall. I don't
recall that she didn't smell you get you get you get figures of people's hands
and shook backstage. No, no, no, it happened to be on
TV. Oh my god. I sat at the same table as Alexa Bliss
and Kaden I need her figure. Bro. I once had tatter tots next
to Rhino, so I picked up a Rhino figure this week. Hey,
I didn't even I'm gonna throw myself under the bus here, and I wanted
an honest answer from you. Okay, when Brian and I did our first
and only extra talent work, I remember like I had a mental checklist,
like okay, hardcore, Holly shook his head, jbl shook his hand,
blah blah blah, and like I didn't get Tomco. And then like I
was like okay, Tomko, Tomko Tomco, and then like it was too
late in the day, like I couldn't shake his hand at like seven pm,
and I like avoided him because I thought you knew I didn't shake his
hand. We know there's no way that guy knew that, Bro, But
so do you have a mental checklist? No that, Like I'm pretty sure
in the email they tell us not to shake hands. No. Yeah,
Actually it's very cool. I don't know who, like originally who changed it
to that, but it was like you don't have to approach everybody, like
leave people alone. As extra We walk in and we just get the f
out of everyone's way, like that. Did you ever an extra where Simon
Gotch would like sit you in the stands and teach you about this? Now,
it's really that really happened. You have no respect Mark. There's another
part of this though. So Bill is a big Ghostbusters guy, and he
like was collecting those real Ghostbusters figures. Can I can I just say one
thing? Sure? Something? I just realized. You know those those elite
style, black, serious style Ghostbuster figures, the ones you just picked up?
Yeah, did you realize? I just realiz is this that only Winston
comes with proton streams? Yeah? I did it on a boxing and I
was like, what is it? Yeah? I don't know. Well,
okay, I'll exactly each figure comes with a proton pack, okay, right,
and each figure comes with one other accessory. So like Ray comes with
glasses, h Winston comes with the stream Egon comes with the like the meter.
That's does Mattel makes these has Bro? Isn't it? Oh? It
is has Bro? Yeah, I don't understand. How do you make the
Ghostbusters and only one of them? You can't cross the streams because only one
of them has streams. Yeah, So now I have to track down three
more Winston's No, please, you do not. I thought you weren't even
getting these. I have them. Oh I thought you said you like the
older ones better. I think the Mattel ones are better. I'll tell you
what. You can cross the streams with those. I'm sorry, I digress
you guys. I wish I knew what you guys are talking about that I
don't even know what I got. The Bill gave me the real Ghostbusters figures
because he like in that whole Target like or whatever it was, the pre
order, buy it at the store like he had extra. I didn't.
He didn't give them to me, but he was like, I have these.
Do you want to buy him? And I was like, ash,
sure, But so here's my thing. I don't care about them necessarily.
I had tons of real Ghostbusters as a kid. I wasn't going to collect
these at all. But I have been really enjoying and this is I wanted
to say this for the dads out there. I've been really enjoying playing with
my vintage Ninja Turtles with my daughter because I'm literally you know, when you
you have as a dad, you've got to play toys with them. Brian
knows. So Brian's sitting there walking around with Mowanna dolls. But it's been
really fortunate for me that I she's into the Ninja Turtle figures and I'm actually
playing with the toys that I played with and I was little, So it's
like a cool little thing I wish. Right, So I did, like
I unboxed these these Ghostbusters with her and she was really into them. So
now we get to play real Ghostbusters together. It's great. This is so
the advice for the day up there. Mackenzie is really into dolls, like
doll dolls, like Barbie dolls, and they're mostly jealous because I feel like
I would get all those Disney dolls that I was like there were girls toys
were cool, you know stuff. I mean, she's really into like not
Barbies, but like Disney princesses and stuff like that and all that. But
right now she's obsessing with like taking all their clothes off. Put this back
on? Why do you take it off? Yes? So like my OCD
is like to put them back on, and just like, oh man,
it's just a never ending cycle. Just well, yeah, get her some
of your toys from your childhood and see if she'll like them. It's fun.
I mean, she will play I had. I mean I've been collecting
with her since she's been born, basically like every female pro wrestler Mattel has
made in the past three years. And she has a ring and stuff and
the major pod accessories and like she think it's fun to like break tables and
things. But I have to like ask. I feel like she won't like
just take those out and do that, you know, not yet at least.
So I got a couple more things. So I got a Grail piece
this week, big boy purchase. Not something I wanted, that's something I
was looking for. His third Han solo and carbonite. No no, I
did get my house painted and moved. Had to move that Han solo and
carbonite and it was pretty heavy anyway. But it was something I saw on
eBay and a couple of people send it to me and I was like,
cool, but I don't really want it. It is a nineteen eighty five
Winston Toys Roddy Roddy Piper eraser figure. If you go in the archives,
you know that I got the very rare Wendy Richter and left her in a
hotel room and then ended up in very early and accused me. Accused me
of Brian took it. It's been a long time here, she is,
So, I do have Winston Toys w F on my my safe searches.
There's a jyd, a chic Uh, and a Snucker. The jyd is
pretty tough to get. Chic and Snooker kind of look like they're LJN's.
The Hogan Uh is like two versions of it. But then the Wendy Richter
and the Piper looked totally obviously there's no Wendy Richter LJN. And the Piper
looks just like his cartoon version. Show it to the camera. So it's
why why is Piper so hard? I didn't even really realize that. So,
okay, this is so. I wasn't going to get it. I
wasn't even like thinking about it. I was like because it was like listen
at two thousand dollars, I was like, oh, no way, wow.
And then our good friend Matt Chappelle he texted to me the picture.
He says, this hasn't shown up on eBay in over six years. Last
time it sold for a thousand. You might just want to grab this part
of me wants to buy it, but I'm out of the game, and
man Hogan and Wendy, he said, I still have all of mine,
but I never completed the set because of Piper. It's one of those figures
that if you don't get it now wow. And I was like, I
mean that is a that is a AWA bat Chappelle Toy had Toys is saying
this, yeah, like yet he has everything. I made an offer with
the guy I got it. It came uh, it's It's really beautiful.
And what's cool about these figures is that the carting slides off the package,
so if I want, I could take it out. I think we I
think we did this with Wendy on the air when yes, before you lost
her. So now that I'm halfway there, I might as well try to
chuck down j Y D Cheeky Baby and snuck. I feel like without that
match Chappelle warning, this is not as cool. But once or I didn't
understand this until and without that warning, and that makes it really okay.
It's okay, but I justified and since I have purchased it, numerous people
have made me offers. Really, yeah, wait, so you just got
it At the two or did you make an offer? I made an offer.
I wonder if can you see how much you really got it for?
I'll just schools the price, right, I don't care you actually I don't.
It's weird. I think if you're following it you can see, but
not if you go back and look. If that makes sense? Okay,
I got no, it's here. Are you want any guesses? Fifteen higher,
seventeen, fifty seventeen? All right? So I got some offers,
some offers for higher and then some offers for like way lower. I'm like,
well, you saw how much it has bought it for. Why would
I want to sell it before just checking? Uh? That's interesting. That's
it's hard to put a price on something like that if it's that rare,
like you said, and mate Bell says that six years it sold for a
thousand. We know the value of resclepe feers have got up in a year.
Yeah right, yeah, So I would like to know more about the
story of these, like you know how Yeah, there are rocky ones as
well by Winston Toys. Let's get somebody from Winston Toys on the on the
horn and my last weekly purchase, it was a joint purchase between Chelsea and
High. We got a dog. I was wondering if that was going to
count. His name is dude, Dude. His name is dude, my
old wrestling name. Where's my car? Yeah, dude, I like the
dude is our new dog. I love him very much, a lot of
responsibility. I gave you a little heads up on that. So I love
the guy. It's like he's very very cuddly. He's he's a very well
behaved dog. It's like holding a stuffed animal, but his eyes really look
you. It's like it's like that movie ten. You know, it's like
a real life Teddy Bear, but a dog. Fast forward to the shot
of dude eating the rubber ball. Well, dude, dude is not allowed
upstairs. Whoa dude is not allowed on the couch. He's not allowed.
We have we have him kind of like steel caged, like where he can
go and where he can't go. Smart, keep up with those gotta keep
up with those rules, because once they go out the window, all hell's
breaking. Lucy. Yeah, he's not allowed upstairs. I said, he's
not allowed on the couch. Like day two, I was cuddling with him
on the cauch but if I hold him, it's okay, he's gonna become
very very big. Yeah. Oh really yeah I thought he's a he's small
right now. I think it's That's what I'm saying. How big is he
got? Like big? Whoa? Whoa? Why did you this got way
more? Oh my god? Bowl in a china shop room? Oh my
god, dude, I'm the tail's gonna wag and hit a detO. He's
a Berniese Mountain dog with a poodle, so a bernardoodle. Oh he's not
gonna poodle mix. It's not gonna be giant. I think he is so
bro uh, Brian, you got one more? Do you want me to
go to the major Martin Purchase of a week or or do you want to
go? Sure? I can major? Okay, there's a cut, dude.
This was a nuts week and and I want you to that's a very
entertaining thread every week. But I love it. Yeah, it's wild.
It's almost like a car crash. I can't like look away, right,
what are these people doing? Okay, A lot of people, a lot
of people got the aw figure. So that was Alex Wiener got a loose
defining moments. Brett Hart for three dollars. No flag, no flag,
this doesn't matter. No flag goes for one hundred and twenty flea market,
Facebook marketplace. Somebody just like take these figs. Damn. He's just quick
on it. That's awesome. This is something he's been talking to me about.
He's been mentioning it in the group a lot. Joe Ryan bought his
one hundredth Ray Mysterio figure. Unique. That's cool. That's cool, and
we were questioning a while ago, like how many there could be if someone
were to attempt that. That's awesome. And he actually it was his birthday
the other day, so happy birthday, Joe. But he a friend of
his or his wife or somebody got him a Ray Mysterio cameo told him about
the hundred figures. Ray thinks that he has more than him in this cameo.
I bet he probably does. This one's funny. This will pop you.
Brian Billy Peck got the vinyl soundtrack to the film You Were in Romance
and the digital age. That's awesome. And that's that's a rare piece that
it's like a collector's item. It's so weird. I didn't know what it
would make a vinyls. I have one to do the vinyl stuff, and
I almost bought something at Walmart and then Chelsea explained, like I need to
buy like an amp and all these other things you can't just buy. What
would you listen to on vinyl? Pole drops they don't make. They'll make
pop a roach on vinylde vinyl. They make everything, they make everything.
Yeah, whatever, all right? And I wanted to ask Brian about this.
Nicholas Michael got uh, the Ring used turnbuckle from Talking Shop Amania,
but it was it was signed by everybody on the show except for Brian.
It was not on the I know that was an item, and I don't.
I don't recall. Oh you know why because Swag and I had to
go to the airport the like halfway through the second day of shooting, so
the show wasn't even over. It was still in the ring when we left,
so it was basically whoever's left got it, all right. So that's
interesting. But I was thinking, like, was that one of your ideas
where you're like, hey, bro, you should sell these Turmuncle signed or
it was okay, dude, let's take a step back. Drew Hankinson from
Cumberland, Maryland is one of the most carny individuals that's ever been put on
Planet Earth's he go out he uh, he's always he's always scheming. So
yeah, I don't even need to whisper these things in his ear, you
know. All Right, main event here, Brian, all Right, I
had a little bit of a unexpected situation here this week. As I stated
earlier, I went to Wisconsin. One of my best friend, Hornce Waggle,
runs a c W Wisconsin. It's his indie fed much like Creative Pro.
He's had his own thing with his buddy Josh for a couple of years.
Now, what about that ring announcer ring announcer stepped in my pop.
I'm a little annoyed about it, but it was Mark. You'll see when
I give you the footage I'm in. I'll stay that there's nothing to do
with the story. But I'm a surprise. That's another reason I didn't talk
about it at par on social media. I'm surprised in a royal rumbo,
which is like really cool because like when do you get to do that?
Like on the Indians, Like obviously if people are paying you to come in,
they want to promote you, so it brings more people, you know.
But he was using this as like, hey, you'll never know who's
gonna show up, you know at these shows, you should be here,
which is another awesome tactic. But it was so cool and I was so
pumped to do. It was my first show in front of a crowd,
you know, post or in the pandemic era. I was very excited.
So I'm in this royal rumble. I think I'm nineteen, and it's like
five four three two one, And instead of like my music playing in the
tronoing and getting that like organic like pop like you know, like that would
you'd expect the ring Anascer goes and no, here he is former w superstar
like and just like steps all over the pop like cubing, Bro, you
don't hear my music, you know, Like I couldn't get the like when
I come through the curtain, like he could have said all this but like
wait for that drama and unfolded a little bit, especially when you're a surprise.
So it is what it is. It's not a huge deal, but
it was definitely I would have been pissed, definitely not I also had to
do twenty five minutes and a uh Royal Rumble when I basically only really know
like one dude in it, and I'm just like, all right, I
have a spot with Gote guy and like remember everything, you know what I
mean? Like brother in the T shirt, I have a spot like it
was. It's it's pretty challenging Brother in the T shirt. But you know
what I'm saying, asked me to be in the Royal Rumble. Yeah,
because well he's negotiating with your manager, so he doesn't want to. He
doesn't want have to email witness team. Uh So, Anyway, the night
before I flew in to Appleton, Wisconsin, you know, connection got in
a little you know, nine pm swag on. His son picked me up.
We shoot the ship, We got some wings. Back at his place,
we're having a great time. A couple of his buddies come over with
other indie workers, you know, and uh, we're watching Talking Shopomania.
I should tell him, hey, I got impact plus I logged into that.
We're watching old you know, impact stuff, having a blast, drinking
some white cloths, you know, into the night. Next thing we know,
it's uh, it's past four in the morning. One guy's wife is
calling him pissed that he's like not home and we're just like we really just
we're having a great like Brothered out time watching wrestling and lost track of time.
So I went downstairs to go to bed, and I do remember,
like to fall asleep. I was going messing around on the eBay app.
Oh my god, I forgot I know of this. I'm just now remember
the messing around on the eBay app. Made a best offer. Oh no,
no, I'm sorry. I mean I bid on something that was ending
in six hours. I went to sleep at like four or five in the
morning, woke up at you know, eleven am, and uh. I
woke up to an email that said do you won, please pay for your
ment on card one two three kid green card autographed Hasbro figure. Oh my
god, what's the price on this baby? And I was just like like
what so? I mean, I've had my eye on this for a while.
Maybe this was figure fade, I don't know. I mean, it
was clearly liquid courage here. So I put in nine hundred and ten bucks
as my high number, assuming I would just lose. I wouldn't guess,
is what I was going through my mind, you know, not not so
clear and I wanted at eight fifteen. It's not bad. I was shocked
and they were ending so consistently at A thousand and one thousand, not signed,
not signed, So this is I mean, I don't know what I
mean. Like I said, figure favor was on my side, Like this
is a JSA certified auto beautiful like silver sharpie, it's meant as hell,
flat carding like I'm not raised bubble like everything. I could hope for what
it is and hopefully it is when it shows up, but I was not
expecting that. And then also the seller has written me. Wrot wrote me
twice. He doesn't know who I am, he doesn't anything like that,
but he's been like, thank you for paying for this, because I think,
like what we alluded to with like the baseball cards and a lot of
these rare figures, a lot of these scumbacks are just bidding these things up
and not paying. So he was just happy that. So I hope it's
the real deal when it comes. I mean, I'll fill everyone in,
but not something I was really thought i'd be the owner of. But no,
Yeah, it's awesome. I was actually going to make fun of you
because Brosky had a dog and a two thousand dollars wrestling toy, and I'm
like, how can you follow that in the main event? But you somehow
did. I mean, yeah, I maybe I spent a little less,
but that's very out of money my style. That's that's brosky. Every week.
I don't really do these things. So I was like, you,
I don't do that every week. Come on, please stop it. Alright,
alright, that's a great UH weekly purchase a segment all right. Up
next is the UH the very special interview with Heath Slater. We all go
way back with Heath. We met Heath Slater when we were in developmental Deep
South Wrestling in two thousand and sixteen and two thousand and six And what I
love about Heath is that he's all of those guys who he wasn't signed at
the time. He would just come and he just tried to get noticed and
looked at. And uh, I remember the day he got signed. I
was very very happy for him. He went by the name Heath Miller at
the time, and he came out It's Miller time, and uh, I
remember he had the most indie looking gear and he was like trying to grow
his hair out and so it was like an awkward and he's of course he
has that weird tribal tattoo. He looked like orange hair, but he had
a blowout. He's growing it out. I loved Heath. He's uh there.
Honestly, I can say this. This just sums up Heath Slater for
me. There's days like obviously we kind of touched on this last week with
Ambrose. This is our childhood dream and we're very fortunate to be doing what
we're doing. And it's unbelievable the things and play things we do and the
places we get to go. But it's still a job, and it has
its days where it's it's hard and it's not you know, all rainbows and
sunshine, but sometimes where we are butterflies whatever, and you know, whoever
we are, and however bad of a day I'm having, if Heath Slater's
in the locker room, I know he's gonna put a smile on my face
because Booster he boosting a rounds just by being him and just not even purposely
being funny, but he really just brightens my day most days. And I
appreciate his friendship, and I think the WW universe I think all the fans
know how entertaining Heath is and uh, here's a little little glimpse. Uh,
you can tell what kind of guy he is. He's our buddy.
So I hope you enjoyed this interview with Heath Slater. What are you gonna
say? You're looking at me weird? I don't want to say it,
all right, I'm also gonna say this. This is not gonna be an
interview podcast. We got two back to backs, but don't like kind of
get interviews every week. This is You're coming incidence, You're you're coming here
for the pigs. This a little bonus with a one man rock band,
Heath Slate. Baby. Guys, we are back on the Major WF pod.
Last week we had a legendary guest, Dean Ambrose, and there's only
one way to possibly top that. Former WWE Tag team Champion four time,
a man of Many Factions, former leader of the three Mbay. He was
one of those guys in the Core, one of those guys in the Social
Outcast, one of the best ones, and one of the guys, oh
baby, one of the guys in the original Nexus, the original It's one
half a big terry and hit Slater. It is Heath Slater. He say
hello, oh hello everybody. You flew into Detroit, No, I had
to fly in the Chicago Detroit. Did you take Terry's boat here this morning?
But no, no, but I'm sure he would have pitched that and
wanted to do it. We are here backstage at raw. We are in
Rapids, Michigan, a very stinky hockey lock locker room. I'm gonna take
pictures for you guys that are listening. Shoulder pads everywhere. I'm gonna let
you see the smell and the stitch of sweaty hockey. Man. He I
don't know if you know this, but Hawkins, we take a shot.
We do this. Most the kids speak or read stutters on the show.
On the show, you gotta take a shot. Okay, So not us,
but the listeners at home alcohol. A couple of weeks ago the pot
Hawkins said that if we had you on, it would be like dinner for
schmucks. And that's a hell of a movie. Though hell of a movie.
Well, I actually loves it. So tell us about your first memories
as a kid. Playing with wrestling figures. My first memory as a kid,
I remember it was the Stang hearing the people talk about the whole you
know the story about Stang. But will come to that. But when I
was a kid, I remember having a wagon and it was like a maybe
a twenty four inch wagon to where they had it looks like a still cage
that you can put like little like a radio flyer. The red wagon,
the red wagon. No, no, no, it was a wooden wagon
to where it had Oh yeah, I know you can like take the wood
would like it looks like a little cakes. You have dars and gold.
Let's have that match they had in w W exactly. So I started with
that as my wrestling rings exactly. And then you know what was the big
rubbery? That's the idea, bro. I still have a truck full of
those things. So truck or a trunk trunk? Okay when I say a
truck, I don't know what you said, Stan, I have a truck
full of those, man. And I remember I used to play, you
know, set it between your legs and you play the music and you you
know, play the music. Are you saying the music? No? I
had the boot boot like Heath, we had a micro talking to micro,
I am you can hold it? You what we hold it, set it
up all proper. I didn't know I can hold it, yeah, because
I don't want the chord making all the sounds like, don't shake the chord
all but no, Eric, I'm a professional. He thinks he's a pro
pro, but I have a pro stutters to this thing. He can't lead,
you can't write. I'm a leader of this pocket. I do everything
here. Okay, hawks used to use this machine man. I thought I
was right. He's taken over. So what do you remember about playing with
these ljns? You know? Just I literally had a whole card, you
know, I wrote up a card. I had you know, King Komb
Bundy and Hogan, you know, but I had him stat to the side
and then I had you know, demolition against whoever to the side. Did
you did you rep rep he probably only had acts. Did you replicate what
you saw on television? Or did you make up your own storylines? I
want to say in the bins, we call it your figure fat Yeah,
your fake fed, who is the champion? Who was on top? The
storylines? Your member of people that went over and who was on to big
situation on top? And your fake bed and who was the heath slater of
your fake fed Oh no, like my on top was polewarmed off. He
looked good. Yeah. It always had him do the torture right for as
that's what he's positioned for. But then again, you know, Hogan won
a lot. You know, I had the Hogan the yellow and the one
with the white tank top, yes, both of them. I just got
the that white ones was repainted with a red tank town. It's very rare.
I just got it. And my collection. Yeah, I don't even
know I have assaulted. That's three. It blows my mind. Is that
like the wc W figures, you know, like they're all just stuck.
Yeah, yes, those are called glue those Yes, those were my favorite
because where you grew up was w W way more popular w W NWA.
That was it. Yeah, I mean that's why I'm a huge staring finger.
But there's one of those things where like that's the ones I used the
most. Yeah, and I just thought it was funny how arn Anderson looked
like he was like doing like a Hogan thing. But it was a good
set up for the spon bust. Yeah, you know, you know there
was a variant. There was the first arn Anderson had the bald spot and
then they painted it in. So there's one I think arn't got upset and
they painted they that's true, made a running change. And then I don't
even want to comment on this because Double probably will listen to that. He's
playing that slot machine and it's funny, and I listen to that. Hey,
But honestly, I think I had the ball start the bald spot,
Double. I think that start. I had definite we're coming out with shot
glasses. Now, did you know that those particular figures had exclusive only the
United Kingdom? Do you know what's funny is that I didn't know that until
I met I know, you guys start they had the free birds. Yeah,
yeah, Big Josh. I sold a Big Josh on eBay for one
hundred bucks. So well, I had a dude, I'm a weird psycho,
so I needed one that had the Yeah. He came with an axe
handle that's very very hard to find. So that's like the original one that
you wanted, just like the Greg. The hammer valance not quite up there
with Greg, but I needed that Big Josh axe handle. Very hard to
find, but it's not crazy. You could add so many more guys.
I didn't know that much later in my life. I figured that out,
like late high school, I want to say, but I had no idea
even through high school. I remember I secretly, you know, like our
backyard wrestled and I had a good time doing all that. What was your
backyard wrestling name? And I had like six of them different. I was
Brett Matthews with a Z Brett Matthews. I was Booker h Booker, Booker
hey bok pretty much you know, straight up Booker tax all that. What's
the H for Heath? Idiot text? I forgot the Heath. There's your
real days? Thought? I forgot. Oh it's Miller time. That was
later on down the like what yeah, I forgot. I forgot that Heath
was his real day. I have literally known this for over a decade,
over for decades, way too long. Booker age, Okay, yeah that
was one. Like so when did you stop playing with fingers early on?
Yeah? Probably like teenage s the cafe played like probably to our first year
of college. Well I was well, yeah, well I stopped playing like
when we moved to Deep South, And then there was the same year and
then there was even like a time where I would like kind of be playing
with them, but I'd be justifying that I was figuring out spot. You
know, I had moved moves like i'd have like two Yeah we say we,
I said we came out of our Action figure closet because like we hit
it for a while, especially back in the day, things were a little
magicalized coming into the locker room and be like, hey, take it,
we're gonna do this major rest of your podcast. What would be the guest
kick it out? Yeah? Yeah, they bags of being the hallway.
Yeah yeah, that'd be bad. But yeah, now it's cool to be
a nerds. We don't mind doing all this. Just the business has changed
so much. So okay, let's flash forward to your Action figure mine.
Yeah, so what I like it is your first one that the lat lat
pulled down Tupac yep, you know what, the Christian That's what I always
think of because he was your pro and NXT. But the only thing I
can ever remember you guys doing was that pre tape where you guys doing lat
pull downs. I'm just talking, Hey, this is funny story there.
So he was doing them and he had like sixty pounds on that thing.
But listen to this so the shot where I had to do it, he
looked this dead thing up to like one hundred twenty pounds to where I just
sat down to it and I'm like, oh what you know, I'm like,
all right, go, So I'm just wrapping them out, you know.
Of course I don't want to do one hundred and twenty pounds. I
don't want to do one hundred and twenty pounds. Yeah for you know,
fifteen times, because I mean, come on, now, you know I
work out okay, but not the best, not for a pre tape exactly
right, So you know, he trying to rib me on that, you
know, but it's pretty funny. Actually, the twenty pounds for the record
is not a lot. How many takes did you guys? I think like
three because they there was like some verbage that they Vince wanted him to say.
Yeah, okay, so you got that. I was. I was
so mad because I had been like on the roster. Then in ECWWW,
ECW and they still didn't make a figure of me. Then they showed like
the prototype images that he's Slater, and I tweeted about like he's Slater as
a figure or not be wow, But like you were just coming from one
one. That's a move too. I don't remember that happening at all.
And then Bill this before I knew Bill, he like emailed me that don't
worry, it's coming out and he man, look at him the all people,
I'd be like everybody. I think he was the first NXT guy to
get one. Maybe it wasn't like could they like rolled them all out like
right? Maybe? Yeah, it was funny. It was that it was
me and Christian, Yeah, but then they had some that was PJ and
Darren are together actually like they had people together, Toma and Tarvard together,
yes, Skips on his own yep, and Wade by himself wadlf and then
if you count that, Daniel Bryan came out to if you count that up
was the first though you might be right or definitely one of the first bunch
ya. So what was that like? Was that it was a cool moment
for you. I'm such a big kid inside, like I really am,
Like we know, I mean, we know you don't got stan come on,
man, But it was just I mean, of course, you know,
as soon as I saw it, like in Target or Walmart wherever I
was, I freaked out. I'm just like, oh my god. So
I grabbed it and I saw another one, so I grabbed that one.
You know I saw, I'm like buying them. You know you didn't want
to be a peg warmer like Apolo Cruise. Yeah, a Polo Cruise figured.
You know what a peg warmers don't. It's when it's when you walk
into the store warm the pegs stare for so long. We call that the
old Apollo Cruise peg warmer. Well, when I see my figure in the
store, I just buy because I don't want people to think it's just been
sitting there. I don't know, you don't believe this. Last night we
found two brodist Clay figures in the store. Twelve rust on the on the
show exactly wiped his finger on it, just dust, dirt and dust.
Did y'all buy them? They were full price? They weren't there, eighteen
eighteen bucks full price. It's not worth the joke, but unbelievable, there
was some money. Man. I love Big George. I mean I figured
from two thousand and twelve I would have the old logo, had the old
scratch though it doesn't even have a collect not necessarily y'all have it. I
don't do ill I collect so like I don't do you only have a Yeah,
Like I think I have one of everybody that we've worked with. I
just think that's cool. They're one on the roster though, Yeah, i'd
of Mattel. I don't. You don't want I don't. I don't.
I only collect like retro old school people. Yeah, I don't get people
like I don't have those two. You can be honest. I have every
one of the ones in the n XT, the first set, like all
of me and Jay that's cool, And I have them all signed next to
search that's cool. And then like I'm a big collector of my own action
figures, yeah, of course. And trading cards you like, he's always
he actually is up on the trading cards. I talked to him about that.
They're hard to don't there's so many variants, Like there's a gold like
border and a blue border on the cars. Yeah. Do you do?
Like if someone tries to get you to sign it and you don't have it,
do you can I have this because they give you like eight cards?
Yea, hey, I'll sign seven of these. Yeah, that's right exactly.
I don't care. What's your favorite action figure of yourself that's been made.
One with the ladder, the first one, yeah, the first.
Those tights are cool. I always thought those tights are cool. Thanks to
Julian there for making them. But oh you were a star back then.
Julie's making your stuff. Yeah, wow, man, that was right.
That was even after the Money in the Bank match we had and everything.
But you wore those at the Money in the Bank, right, yes,
yeah, I think so. Then you have the same ones in orange and
blue. Brother I did. Yeah, right, I like the I Got
Kids Elite. No, I love that one too. Which one I Got
Kids? No wrist tape, that's very true. Yeah, and it's a
cut off and you don't wear cut off. I don't, but I do
now. Oh just a you're doing for the fans. You're supposed to have
a two pack big Terry, but I got canceled. I supposed to.
I don't know. They just gave Terry with the title me with the title.
Yeah, it's cool. You can still get the whole uh, I
got kids connection there you have the three MB basic yep. No, And
then bow is the only one who has a source take a shot social outcast
figure taking everybody thirsty was the only one who got a figure that kind of
represents that social outcast run because he's singlest hold on, is it like does
he have like it says social it's it's an outcast on a single. Yeah,
so obviously it's representing. Yeah, it's representing that time period. But
yeah, so you've had a bunch, right, I remember I have I
think I have like seven figures, but then I have the squinky Oh the
squinky guy squat that I have too. Yeah, yeah, a little it's
like a head with baby arms, so fun. Let me get my fund.
I want to look up heath statue from Star Ramba. What was like
to Probably don't remember. Two years ago we got scanned in this thing all
of us. It's this German statue company. Hold on, I had that.
I got kids shirt on probably, but I remember, I think,
okay, yeah, I busted my nose. This scar right here, Oh
yeah, I remember that. It's actually pretty cool. Oh yeah, that's
it. I remember seeing that right here. Oh my god, yeah,
because that was right when that happened. Yeah, he's wearing he says,
hands on his hips, sunglasses. I got kids my hips, don't lie.
You know what I'm man, I've got to hold them down. I
gotta get that. So anyways, you've never seen that in person, that's
hold on. That's a legit figure. I say a little statue the old
fifty bucks to get shipped from Germany. And it's like the consistency is like
sugar, so delicate. The big one especially like so they making all three
of those sizes, by the way, but the biggest one is about this
big and uh, it looks kind of cool like on display if you have
your stuff. The biggest one. I ordered like three zach Ryers and they
were all broken in the exact same spot. Yeah, it comes with the
fist pump and it's broken at the wrist and just glue it. Yeah,
because I kept buying or again they kept some new ones. What does rhinos
look like? It's funny because that that those were social outcast tights that I
hadn't made. Those aren't wild Man Wood the video game. He's got these
wackass tights to say, wow, man on the butt the first time.
He has no butt, so it's not filling them. There's the rids put
that in the boat. So anyway, he's got these tights. They're they're
sagging because he's got no ass to begin with. They're they're just they're printed
low and it is what it says. Wow, man on the button,
he'd definitely should be up by his belt line instead, it's like underneath his
butt where the crack of his butt starts, like you know, the curve,
and it's underneath and he literally has to be like taking a sunset flip
to read it. Wow, man, that's so true. Their house show
only exclusive ssel. If you want to see them on sale, you gotta
get to for sale now. They're not even going on. Serious question,
serious question. I know Sting is one of your favorites. How did it
feel when you got to dress up at stick on? That was you know,
that was wow? You just ruined my child. I was so good
at acting, but honestly it was the best pop of my life. That's
gotta be true. Yeah, let's go. I mean we got to be
Edges and he was like a hero and you're got to be Sticking. I
mean honestly, Like I even put out pictures on Instagram about you know,
when I was like eight years old with Sting face paint and a stick normal
there staying slang stang tomato to my potato potata to come back. Yeah,
I'm doing my sting come back. Hey, it's true though, you know,
the right punch, the back punch, the kick, right punch,
the back punch, the kick. You know. But it's like, you
know, you are a wrestler living your childhood dream and then something like that
makes it like almost you know, so full circle. And it was amazing
to me. I mean, honestly, it's so funny because they remember a
road doll coming up to me saying, hey, you gotta be staying tonight,
and I'm just like, hold on what he and I had? I
was this is when I was first growing out in my beard, like wanting
to have a beer on television. So he was like, you gotta shave
that. Hold on what and he was like, yeah, shave your beard,
this and that. So I had to shave my beard. I'll just
say the paint was stick, you know, all this stuff. Next thing,
you know, the cues was so off. Whenever they were showing all
the other stings in the crowd to where I'm underneath the ring, I pop
up, you know at the last second, like come in the light.
Whenever they're telling me to come in hunter Bumps. Bam here, I am
the best staying in. Jeff Farmer begs to differ. Well, Jeff Farmer
can differ, you know. I mean, my gosh, I got us
come back down, you know. So it was one of those things where,
honestly, to me, it was awesome. I still have the shirt
and the trench coat, so you know it. It was one of those
sentimental things all that. Yeah, I still got all that stuff. I
think you need to get a Sting like Mattel figure to go next year.
He's Slater figure. I would love that. Thee we'll send it, well,
hook, yeah, we'll figure it that. I don't have one to
send I have. I have a bunch of Stangers, but they're in my
collection. I mean, here you are talking about Sting and here you are
getting the American flag jacket, and I love it. To me, that's
one of those things like hell yeah, I cambind Sting Warrior and Macho Man
all their USA gear to make my us a gear and then they made a
figure of it, so it's pretty pretty. And they make figures of all
those gears, which is I have them all. That's why they're all my
display cast. Awesome, you gotta see my toy room. Hawkins went in
my toy room. It's it's a bit overwhelming. It's too much. I'm
pretty sure you know. Like you know, I follow you of course social
media, and I see you and your toy room and all the other tours
you get and the on top of the garagers that you go to ye next
thing, you know, your whole car and truck whatever. And I'm just
like, what in the world you just save your stuff or do you have
it on display of any kind or anything. Well, I'm in like a
I have a room that's like for all my stuff, you know, all
my wrestling stuff. Stuff. Yeah, we got it's an accent every sentence,
a little toy all night. All right, this ain't stuffing. A
little bit more work. Hey, we gotta run and we gotta run in
Yeah, come on, don't hit me. Hold damn. If you're gonna
say something, just make sure to bash his mojo. Okay, yeah,
but hold on, where were your room? Your stuff? It's your pleasure
room. Pleasure Well, it's not set up so it's one of those things
where everything's in there. It's just not where I wanted so it was playing.
Yeah. Yeah, so but I have, like, you know,
my titles that I've won over the years. You know, I'm a tag
team specialist. I mean, you know, action man, I got you
know, you and Gallows the ultimate Faction man. Oh we're the best.
You know, But I got you know that, all my figures, all
my little souvenirs over the years, like traveling, you know, odds and
in different countries and stuff like that. You pick up little odds and ends
all the time. That's the only thing I say is the tour badge.
Hey, I do that too. No, we'll forget where the hell I've
been. People ask me, like, what countries have you been to?
Or have you been here? I'm like, I have no idea. You've
been everywhere? Ye Like. The only one I know I hadn't been to
is Hawaii and Japan because I've never been booked on that loop. Yeah and
that loop. Yeah, but I just know that otherwise everything I've been everywhere
else. Man, I've never been to Hawaii. Even our first loop we
did was insane. We did ever, Yeah we did? Uh? You
mean the tour Singapore, Australia, Australia and Bangkok. I was on that.
I was about three years called. I was on the the Singapore Australia.
It was having maybe six years ago, seven years ago. I was
on that summer oh seven, you know, I was on Flare, was
on as a legends like working alare Domino. All right, let's guys are
I know we're PREHD. We're back down. We came out thet I know
you have two beautiful daughters, I do. What's it like to see them
play with your action? How cool is that? You know? What's the
best thing ever is that Roz and Remy when they were in preschool, they
had to have you know, show and tail, and they always do by
alphabets, you know, whatever they're studying, and so alphabet was D.
So they wanted to bring Daddy to school. So they brought my action figures
to where it's like I'm like, oh wow when they hear d you know,
they could daddy. And then I have my own ash fish. So
they're at school being like this is my daddy, and you know he's so
cool. My daughter's like Jess to you. I always like try to show
him, like, look, daddy. She's just a little too young to
get it. Yeah, but like I don't know if you've seen the Mattel
has been making these guys called true Moves. They kind of like barbies.
They've been at like Target lately. I'm very stiff. They're in like slender
packaging. Yeah, and I wanted them to make one of them of me,
of that, because then I feel like she'd be more inclined to like
take the elite is too details, I don't know, I don't know,
too intricate. Remember she's a baby. Oh yeah, I know, I'm
waiting, but I can't wait. As a father, I just can't wait.
I want her to just take it everywhere and like cherish it. You
know, if if Mattel said to heat like heat, you can pick a
figure, you can design it yourself of your like most iconic moment, Like
what would it be? Like? What would the accessory be? He was
a ref a couple of months. I'd bout to say, I haven't had
that moment yet. A lot cool, So how about we do another podcast
when it happened to you know, four years down the road, Part two
of this. I mean, you've been here for for how long I've been
on the main roster now almost ten years, ten years. Yeah, I've
been signed for thirteen and it's nine exactly this month, right on the road
because the n X started in February twenty ten. That's where Yeah. Yeah,
yeah, it's nine nine years on the road of this this month.
Yeah, pretty crazy. Well, cheers cheers for imaginary drinks for all those
stutters. Stutters are good times. Yeah, there's one, y'all know we
actually cheers imaginary. Well, you're also he had imaginary people. There's like
looking at what is wrong with us? All right? Booker h books for
coming through? What's that H stand for? Five times? Five time?
Five time? T right? What's that age stand for? I want to
say, al right, it is now time for the Q and A section.
This is my favorite section because I love interacting our fans and I love
the fans to respond to us on social media. So ask Major Pod hashtag
ask major Pod on our Twitter at Major w Pod. Each week will each
choose a question to read on air, and if if we choose your question
and read on air, we will send you the famous best wishes eight by
ten. People love it, and I love I appreciate the fans who are
now tweeting that they got it. Yeah, all right, I'm gonna go
first. Mine is from Particle Down at Particle Down hashtag ask major Pod.
Do you have any stories or funny awkward moments or comments from cashiers during times
when you have bought Action figures? Huh? I don't know, So I
could I really pick this just to tell this story because it segues into it.
So I don't have any from buying Action figures whatsoever. Okay, because
and I guess even in the days when like it was embarrassing, it's like
in my mind, I'm like, they don't know these are from me.
This, this could be a gif. Here's the thing. Now, now
we're at the age you actually have a child. Oh yeah, but now
we could be adults buying for our kids. I think, like, like
the weirdest was like no shame, like eighteen to like twenty four buying these
things even in that time. So when I am awkward about I would always
ask for a gift receipt or that yeah, yeah, okay, gift seat,
and you go, yeah, yeah, that's probably smart. You know,
you know you're gonna let these breathe in the car on the way home.
So that never bothered me. The best thing is I was buying your
own figure at a store. You get top that. But not getting recognized
all the time, and it's great. Actually, I don't think I've ever
been recognized. But I think one time maybe I was with like Papa beat
Paul and he's look to the lady like you friend, and the lady was
like, yeah, that's you're just lying, and I was like a waste
of time. But one time I think I was with paulse because of the
Devil. We're at the Rosale Field mall and I want to say, man,
it's the thick of the edge days like on TV every week long,
blonde hair flow in affliction shirt. Affliction shirt, I'm sure And I'm actually
never wore Affliction Hardy something and uh it was the day. I remember.
I couldn't like afford like the Affliction or ed Hardy, So I would go
to the it's like the Mark Echo cutting so that it was like the same
style, but it was the same style but not it wasn't quite like a
sixty dollars shirt. Me and camp Camp Bo Keno would wear. Dude,
we'd go that story went a week. Yeah, you couldn't give that stuff
away. Now, so I actually, you know what, I just realized
that detail this story. We had just switched out of the edge stuff to
like Hawkins Ryer, like where I wore trunks and you wore long tights.
Okay, so I needed a brand new man thong dog dog to wear underneath
my tight do you know I've been wearing the same copy two thousand and eight?
First of Brosky forgot undertights or a thong or whatever and asked Kophie to
borrow his and not only to call if you give it to him, like
a weird though. Yeah, Brosky wore the night and has since worn it
his entire career. It's a good luck job. It's pretty wild. I
once wore a Bobby Rude dog that Bobby Rude gave me, but he took
it back. He would love me keep it. I wanted to keep its
weird, but he was weird. That's that's the next level. So anyway,
all right, I'm at Macy's or like North every one of those stores
whatever, and I'm frantically looking for like the man thong section or whatever,
and I'm like I can't find it, Like I'm looking around, looking around.
Finally, I'm like, I see it, like, oh yeah,
I put my hand on the it came in up, you know, the
box. I put my hand in a box. I'm looking at it and
I hear Kurt Hawkins literally as in my hand, and it startled me so
bad. I knew it was like a kid's voice. I threw it up
in the air, like flying through it like it wasn't and I spun around
and I was like yes, And it was two little kids that recognized while
I was buying this man thong, and I like, dude, I must
have been so red and like borderline sweaty, and just like no sold it.
No sold it completely. And I was like, oh, I took
a picture with them and their dad or whatever they got out there, and
I'm like, oh my god, I just threw a banthon across the store
like out of a fear. That is a wild, wild story. But
and for whatever reason, that person's question jarred that memory. But that's that's
a good question. Okay. My question, uh, my question comes from
Young fifty four Underscore Dan Young. He wrote, ever stop it, think
about how remarkable it is that at extremely cute Colin Delaney got himself an action
figure out of an eight month stint in ww ECW hashtag ask major pod,
awesome question, awesome figure? What a figure? So I think a lot
of what had to do with that coming out was all the special work that
went into make it, Like Jack's had to justify, like you know,
it wasn't like one of these Lutherans uh Tyson Tom coaches. Everything changed ahead
on the guy was a mold, completely new molding, the legs and you
I think you had to justify all the work that would into that. And
he got released and I'm like, well, we gotta just make it.
Yeah, because I want to say it didn't come out like too long after,
but it's Ruthless Aggression thirty seven. He's got the ECW title. It's
so awesome. Man, if I restart my rules aggression set, I would
love to get this Convola. Yeah. And he's got the signlest traps down.
Yeah. It's like a molded p extra, Like, what a beautiful
thing. It is perfect. But I think throughout the history of whatever you
want to go through w W, there's been a lot of people that you're
like, how did they not get one? And then there's people who are
like, how did they get one in that that's a perfect seg short amount
of time. Let's say how did they get one and not? First of
all, let's just say we're not saying somebody does not deserve of a figure,
but how did the TV time in the short stint they had in the
company? Kenzo Suzuki, you mentioned Ryan Sakata as the number one? Yes,
I didn't even know his first name was Ryan. Yeah, I remember
he was a up W guy, and that's why I know he was Sakoda.
Soakoda was his Ryan Zakota Sokota, John Skata is a singer. Three
pack, Jimmy Yang Dakota. That's wild? Who else? Like did Gemini?
I get the figures? Gemini? That's what wild? Think about how
short that run is. That's gotta be less than four or five times on
TV? Right, Sylvester Torkai, He yeah, that there's other guys we
just named our way less than him. Now, who who should have gotten
a figure? Ricky Ortiz? You think so? I don't know. I
feel like he was okay over a year on SmackDown. Yeah for sure.
You know he wasn't on SmackDown for a YEARCW Okay, same thing? I
think your boy tix Tyler Rex is wild. Yeah, Tyler should have got
one, because there's got to be some other guys. Actually, Bill from
Mattel said this once and it stuck with me. Darren Young never got a
single released figure. He's in like three three packs, three packs, two
backs. Sorry, he's in three two packs. What's the third two back?
His nextest one. I would have loved him and bout back then.
Jesus, And we're talking like our error. Of course, there's guy's in
the Hazard days who never got one and stuff like that. We're talking we've
covered in their our crafts. Were talking like from when we've worked here.
But it's just hey, man, just like life, timing is everything,
man, That's what it is. Josh Matthews ever got a figures, never
got a Wow. That's a big one. We've called it. Tommy Dreamer
just had Jazz on his podcast. Jazz never got a figure. The Jazz
she had a mania match. And in that era where they did they made
the girls in that Titan trying what about like Jacqueline like she he had no
Titans drawn she could have got at the aggression. I would say, TNA
And that's possible too, though. I mean, but now because they make
one. I'm sure she's under a Legends deal. She's a Hall of Famer
me and Jacqueline to replace that signature series bone crust. I'm tired of my
doll's being on the shelves. Very great question. Yeah, the Colin Delaney
is awesome, n if I we love Colin. We see him, he
does, He comes and does two or five live every once in a while.
He's got like a collectible shop. We gotta go check it out.
I would love to have him on the show and shoot the s h I
t about that figure. Yes, absolutely, maybe we can think we can
get him like spur of the moment, like get him to record a little
voicemail. Of course, we just add that in here. No, let's
save it for next week. That's our next week. We'll open, okay,
all right, and then until then until then, Okay, guys,

I can't believe I didn't stutter there? Yeah, do you started just talking
in real life and then there talking about that. I know. It was
making me so sick. We were calling all the loyal customers Major Marks and
the whole time, Brosky like sometimes he was eating like a rice cake,
chomping so hard. The other hand was rubbing his chest non stop, and
it was making my skincroll. And he's growing on his chest there for this
non existent figure that Matel's never gonna make. And I was, I was
if if Dash Wilder would get a figure with chest there on it. Zach
Ryder. All right, see you guys later, you major marks. And
that once again wraps it up for another addition of the major rewind Thank you
all so much for tuning in, and we gotta catch up. We gotta
talk about some things we gotta talk about. Coming off an amazing live fourteen,
I want to thank all the major marks you guys. Yeah, Johnny
Cisco took boat Guy, my man Shanny chopping it up on the ones and
twos, bringing it down with that jack knife because you know Shawnee big sausages
always too, so we and sal lout everyone. If I'm if I missed
your Johnny Cisco, Espinoza, Johnny Sapienza, Tommy Sapienza, the entire Sapienza
family, I don't. I don't know so many major marks if you smell
what the rock is cooking. But seriously, though, that was an amazing
experience. As always, I always look forward to those live events just as
much as you guys do, and this year things got to be a little
bit different. I wasn't just behind the camera. I got put through a
door by John Sina Senior. Unbelievable. Can you believe that? And real
quick as I'm recording this today, I just found out about the unfortunate passing
of one of the great aids to ever do it, Terry Funk. We
just lost him. And I just wanted to say a couple of things because
I would be remissed if I didn't. Terry was one of my biggest influences
as a wrestler, and he kind of exemplified a lot of the things that
I always wanted to be as a wrestler. This wild, outrageous, unpredictable
character. And if you watch close enough to a lot of my matches,
you'll see there's a lot of Terry Funk and what I do or try I
try to put in. The man was just as amazing as people say he
was. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent watching Terry Funk and
his vast catalog of matches and just all the different eras and styles that he's
gone through over the years that you know, there's just so many something different
that you can get from every time and yeah, I just wanted wanted to
throw that out there real quick. Obviously, when that Mattel came out,
I couldn't buy it fast enough the ECW version. But I also did have
that first Legends run, which I grew to appreciate more the older I got.
Of course, I was almost ten years ago, so go figure.
But I mean, the man is one of the great NWA champions and just
one of the greatest of all time to ever step through the ring. So
rest in peace, Terry. Now, I don't want to keep y'all much
longer than I already have. This has already been probably going down in the
record books as the longest major rewind episode in history. But I do it
for you, the major marks, and I can't stop. Some would say,
you know, I'm hooked. I can't stop this feeling deep inside of
me. Girl, you just don't realize what you do to me when you
hold me in your so tight you let me know everything's all right. I
hooked on a feeling. I'm high. I'm believing that you're in love with
me. Lips a sweet ass candy. Its taste is on my mind.
Girl, You got me thirsted for another couple wine. Got a bug from
you, girl, but on me no cue. I'll just stay victim if
I can't for sure. All the good love when we're all alone. Keep
it up, girl, Yeah, you turn me on. Hooked on a
feeling, I'm high. I'm believing that you're in love with me. That's
what it's all about. Baby, We're hooked. That's what we gotta scratch
that figureage because we're hooked. All the good love when we're all alone.
Keep it up, girl, Yeah, you turn me on. Uh,
I'm hooked down a feeling. I'm high. I'm believing that you're in love
with me. I'm hooked down a feeling. I'm high. I'm believing that
you're in love with me. I'm hooked on a feeling and I'm high.
I'm believing that you're in love with me. I'm hooked on a feeling.
