it's brought to you by good friends at Ringside Collectibles, the number one
on what is it? The number one online retailer for wrestling figures. Of
course, we love we love Ringside I used to go to Major to save
ten percent. I am so excited to have this partnership going into twenty twenty.
Got to get that liger, got to get those figure arts, so
many things. I would say, get the Major pod figures, but there
are nWo so down in stock by the time this uh pod drops Oo.
Really they're like on the boat. Yeah, Brian and I we always talk
over each other. Now with Mark, we're all talking over each other.
Uh so Mark is here because he bought him. Answer in Massachusetts. Tonight
we performed in Hartford, which is basically like the border, right the Connecticut
Massachusetts border. So, like I said, we performed in the Hartford tonight,
the Exile Center. Broski, I asked you earlier in the day,
I said, dude, I had time to drive up here and think about
this and a bunch I had a bunch of memories. Then when we got
in the building on a whole other set of memories hit me. And I
supposed to say, do you have any memories? It was not a damn
things. I mean, I've wrestled this building countless times. I can't say
that something sticks out. Okay, I'm not saying there isn't anything. But
I just don't recall do you do you recall July two thousand and four.
No, you and I drove up here to see Vengeance to look at that
Holy Cow Edge versus Orton, which is for the icy title, which I
think a lot of people it's to me it's like a one match show that.
But that match is like pretty perfect in my opinion. I still have
that shirt. It's a last week. Yeah, it's like Edgewinds dice from
Randy after Randy had time. I don't remember that being the case, middle
of the middle of the pack, nothing to be proud of. But we
did that. So that's that's That was the first thing and the only reason
I even really I didn't even remember that. Uh fan of the show,
Viking Todd or Hanson or whatever I go, or Ivar looking at the cartwheel.
Uh he said, Oh, I was here one time as an extra
for a paper view with Julio fourhiel WHOA. Me and Rosy came up here
and we were in the goddamn stands. Oh wow, my other man Hansom
Johnny Handsome Johnny Massachusetts legend. So the other memory that flooded me is when
we got there today outside that trainers, Rone went, oh my god.
And I don't know if Mark knows the story, but oh, I do
remember a couple of years ago, Big Star on the Z to a Long
Island st the Big O had a little extra work up here, and this
is like, I guess things have really changed, like used to like almost
one hundred percent at least have some kind of match in the ring, you
know, and it's really they don't do that. It's like really changing.
It almost like never happens now show Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean
when Riego was still on the road and he was going through it and then
I don't I don't know if it was a real had to be half a
rib, but he was like, hey, is that going to the numbers
here? Like the buddy's here, and you know, it's a favor to
you that he's here in the first place, And it's a odd numbers,
so you have to step up and wrestle them tomorrow. So this is raw
Raw's and Hartford and then the next day's Jersey. No, it's that's what
I'll see him SmackDown. I feel like it was Jersey never forget Okay,
it was probably right either way, Raw is Hartford, so he tells him
this like during the day during Raw that he's got to wrestle Big Go the
next day. I think this might be a pay per view into Raw.
That sounds more likely maybe, but I just don't know why. Like Jabonker
Hawkins would have been there. Uh So, either way, him and Big
Oh called this practice match literally in that hallway in Hartford a day before it
happened. Makes sense, all day standing there going over to the point where,
like all the boys saw it was just built up thing. When it
finally went down the next day, it's a sellout every big three PM to
Like you think people got more important stuff going on due Even Triple Ah's out
there watching. I don't think I'm since they ever never seen him watch practice
except that one. Everyone's out there for this thing. Like I was,
I put the kid over and then he got up on the Turnbuck was like,
if you can't take got the god os that does all the poses,
there's no fans. No, it was taped. No, definitely, since
that Big Old I had a falling out. I can't believe you just said
that. Yeah, the last time I saw a Big Oh I was at
the nautical mile in Freeport. You know that, Yes, And I was
crossing the street and someone was driving down hanked the horn. It was him.
He just gave me the middle finger. He kept driving. It's pretty
awesome. Actually, good for him. My only other memory than when I
went in the train's room. Oh my god. And there's no you remember
this, but that building is where Heath Slater wrestled Vader. I do remember
that when Heath was on that run of workings and stuff a lot, and
I love it too, and I remember, So this is what I think
happened. I came in and it was the same locker room and Vader was
like outside of it, and just you know the chain of like just the
handshake chain, and I'm assuming he just didn't remember me. Like whatever that
happens, you know, no big deal. Then later in the day,
I'm like getting ready for my match. I'm in the trains room. He's
in there stretching too, and he's like me mugging me, And I could
tell he's me mugging me and like looking at me, and then like I
do like kind of a double take, and he goes, hey, I'm
Leon. And then I'm like hey, I'm Brian. We met earlier.
I shook your head outside the locker room. He goes, okay, it
was weird running and then he's like, oh, I was only staring at
you because, uh, we have the same color facial hair. So I
don't know if he's backtracking. I was like, so, I just never
forget. It was like only us two in there, and I was like,
so, couldn't been more awkward there stretching and man, I have hold
on. I have two memories from the XL Center. Okay, let's go.
One your WrestleMania eleven. Were you the LTEs? Uh? That was
an extra for Wrestling eleven? No, Uh, you're old enough to be.
We did the We beat up Randy Orton as uh as Bray Wyatt.
Oh yeah, bray Watt masked. Remember obviously have nothing to do with that.
But I remember like Road kind of be like these are all your guys,
right, And I was like yeah, like they have to like beat
Randy up in the dark and kick of it and stuff, and I'm like,
well, I can't control Like, yeah, this guy, I was
like, he's you know, was going into Mania. He's like he can't
get hurt and I'm like, who do you want me to do that?
He couldn't have got hurt from what we did. But yeah, we all
played Eric Rowan mask guys that was here beat up Brandy Orton in a backstage.
It was pretty cool. And then the other thing is I went to
UH Survivor series where the Undertaker debuted. That's in Hartford? Was it the
same arena? I don't know, the same rib But wait, you went
to me, yeah, like it were five scared to death? We're fifteen.
I was seven? Really, Yeah, you sure you never told me
this google that? Well? I don't. I don't. I know it's
in You're right, it's in Hartford. I don't, but I'm assuming it's
not that building. Steve Negron and I became best friends because we both bonded
over the fact that we were there and scared to death of the Undertaker.
That was my first UH wrestling event that I pretty much like I watched like
I remember watching live like, I remember being like anticipatingly, who's this mystery
guy going to be? And then I was too young to staff that late
and my I probably told the story of other times. But my brother went
watching a friend's house and they taped in a VHS when he came home with
the VHS and I got to watch it the boss and I just like always
remember that. Well, guys, welcome the good house. Keep the Pacific
Center. It might be that building, all right, so I I hold
the plane. Thing My defense is in the vlog that that it really is
great. It's so entertaining watch it's almost like a bit like we wrote it.
That's how good it is. Insane. But there's a lot of things.
I get a lot of silver balls whatever, all this, how much
immercy you have because of a lot of mers, your star because it comes
marking. Uh. But the one thing that I will I do want to
defend myself on is your hazard collection. I'm not even gonna it's fine,
that's fine. I was moving some guys around my animal click click click,
yeah, no way, like a coutil couts click click. I could just
admitted that out. You gotta be per he looks great in the he's broken
click click click, gotta go, that's gonna be sure, click click click
with like Hazar like the Ghostbusters, click click click. All right, I
have to defend myself on the shower dodger. Oh, let's hear it.
I was explaining to the is the final side, Chelsea, can you come
here for a second. We need you just listen to this story, and
then we're asking your opinion. The the beginning of the story is we did
the Creator Bro show and uh, we go to Brian's house after we did
the Toy Drive show. Yes, right, and then we had to do
a bunch of crap. We get back to Brian's house real late. He's
like, do you want a shower? I was like, no, I
don't know. You know, it's fine, two in the morning and shower
dodger. Okay, let's take let's not judge yet. Let's so. Brian's
like, no, no, here, take this here literally said there is
a shower. I just went went up and got everything for him tower,
Everything was a go. Shower was what I couldn't wait to get home to
do it. I'll do it fine, whatever's no skin off my back.
Whatever. Literally, yeah, you didn't scrub you need that. Eric Young
had a nice travels a loop and with the stick. The next The following
weekend, I had an indie show, hardcore show. There's a lot of
crap all over the ring and I made it a point to text you guys
that it had been over almost twenty four hours since I had the show that
showered yet just to piss you off. Is it true or no, it's
true. Oh my god, I know it's true. But I'll explain why.
I'll explain why. First of all, I told the story to my
wife and she was like, that's insane because the reality of the situation is
I am a serial shower shower. I shower too much, like two to
three times. Is that why your ball hair turn silver? I don't too
much. When you're in the dirtiest of situations, you don't want to shower.
I don't understand, not that I don't. Your situation was simply I
didn't want to like impose, impose I didn't. I know that you said
it, I know, but like you have to wipe your asshole, old
kid over. Well weird these guys called me a shower. Yeah not,
And I'm explaining why go back to you? What do you want? A
classic shower Dodger would try to say that they're not justifying their action. So
what are you watching home alone? Stuff? What thatts? No, not
that it was good. It it's all DVD extra stuff Brian. Brian's was
simply that I did not want to pose his kids and his wife is sleeping
whatever. But then he said, but no, here take this, and
I'm like, okay, fine, that's great. I would love to do
that. I cannot leave the house and go into public without taking a shower.
I can't do it. That's like me, I can't. I can't
take it. I can't take it one extreme to the other. I can't
take it and then leave the house. I d shower, But the c
CW thing is this, Uh, there's it's an indie show. There's no
place there to shower. They actually have showers, but it's literally the bathroom
that the fans. I would still do it. It's stop the pilot's books,
glass in my back and stuff. Yeah. So then I slept at
cap that night, which has no shower. It has no shower. Then
I had to drive all the way home and then you know, got in,
had lunch, then took a shower. Can I tell you I do
it very often? And what I would have done for you, Yes,
I would have gone to a gym, paid the defeat, use the shower,
and left. Well, that's crazy. That's not really, but I
just I'm not like doing anything like I'm just going home, just driving home.
So that was the only I would have. Like I know Cabana has
these like wipes in his bag because he does a lot of indie shows.
There's not always a shower. Have something like that prepared. That's a good
idea. I remember this. You were there, fcw waited. Barrett had
like like a spray bottle like guys would do their hair, but it had
like alcohol in it. Because we've bet all these shows in a shower and
he would like spray his body with this like half water half alcohol like concoction
to clean himself. Jesus. But the only reason I bring this up is
because like last week, I got in the shower to clean myself before I
went to the gym, and then I was thinking of these guys get like
dry skin. No, not really, but I just like I woke up,
I needed the shower before I went to the gym, and I'm like
these guys giving me all this crap about the shower dodge. I'm not a
shower dodger and indie shows you can't do it, I understand, But there's
things that could have been done, especially if you know you're having to.
I guess I could have went on I'm not a dodger, but I'm not
gonna go out of my way speaking of showers and cleanliness. I don't know
why I'm spreading this, but Russev just texted me this picture. It's topic
the the hair fibers. And he wrote to me, who else? And
I wrote, ha, ha ha, it's gotta be mine, And he
wrote the whole the whole poetry kits here, and I gave him like the
eyes of like, is it a Ghostbuster's ba because maybe I left my towtry
kid, because I'm not it's somebody else. Oh be cafe bolt spot.
Guys, should I go check my bags if I got my towat kid?
Yeah? Keep talking? Well, I mean this is like a murder mystery
thing right, Well, how I'm and how could rus have not be able
to identify ghost trap or whatever the hell your thinking is. He's in zipping
the bag, folks, frantically, his gears going all over the place.
Oh my god, and it's your bald spot. Come on yourself on your
own podcast, way to bury yourself in a second, he went through your
Ghostbuster bag. Can we go back to talk about actual figures. We haven't
talked about it single actually just it's mine. Oh no, he's having a
picture. Damn, he's still there is this late Damn can you please grab
that? Chelsea Bruce is gonna have a bad spot for a week. You
don't have extras in every bag. You know what time your glove? I
guess Russai on a live event. Something happened where I didn't have it.
I almost used Hot Coco. If it was TV, I would have use
Hocoke had nothing. There's no way that would work. But Okay, I've
been actually corresponding with Robert DHARDI you get to go fantastico about fake l JN
excess. Oh. I saw him post about this and this came up in
the chat too, which was weird and very touchy subject. But he was
kind of schooling me in it, and he actually like, I've been very
self conscious about my LG in collectually ever since the shoot and whatever, and
you know, everything was so examined by everyone besides myself. But I was
like, oh man, I don't even want to know if I have like
a fake or something. Whatever. He gotta know. He explained that basically
the rule of thumb is I don't know if this is be all end all,
but he said, if it has some kind of give to it,
it's real. He said, if it's fake and you try to Bennett,
it will just be done and then you know it's broke. He's posted pictures
and we've retweeted at a cracked boss Man nights. Yeah, and he said
that's he had a run in with someone who remained nameless that sent him that.
Right away. He goes, dude, this is not real. Wow
made the guy made it right. But I just thought that was interesting,
and I, uh, I went down and I like took the night stick
out of my thing, and I'm like, I have like a little give.
I'm like, oh my god, thy god. The other one I
was very concerned about was the two by four two very expensive accessories to replace,
and then two by four were super bendy, so I was like,
okay, uh so, and then he asked me to check he'll billy Jim's
hat and I said, dude, the two things I was concerned to there,
I was like, can go itself. I don't even care if that's
fake. It's so easy to find and get whatever. Well, let you
know, let's just we're there. Let's talk about that Christmas episode. We've
been holding that in for a while, the LJN episode. It was podcast
form and uh YouTube video form. The uh. The reaction to it was
off the charge, of course, with some haters and negative people, but
overall people loved it. I loved it. I watched it. It was
it was great. Mark, thank you. And Dave Silva, thank you,
not Jamie Silva, Dave Silva Connor, of course, thank you so
much. Let up with us, put us up in his house, like
we tried to stay at hotel and he insisted that we stayed the Conrad,
which is a beautiful place. Man, Guys, I think it's a masterpiece
jam but I'm honestly like there's some slight errors in it and whatever when we
didn't work for LJ and we couldn't go back on a time machine, and
I do want to touch on a couple of things, but I'm just saying,
like, holy like, we did the best we could. I don't
think there's been anything ever made like it where all those things are seen on
camera, especially away with all the figures. Guys, it's another full disclosure
thing. I'm gonna I'll admit it now. So I brought like thirty thousand
dollars plus of LJN figures, but my iron cheek articulated figures had a little
snafu in the travel. I have since been able to fix it put it
back together. But that's why it was not shown on the video because I
cannot show this broken figure on the video. I've since fixed it, but
I don't know how you did it. I was nervous with what was I
gonna do. I mean, I know, I but like you went above
and beyond what we talked about. Like I thought you would bring like couple
things. You got to bring a wall. But I guess we could talk
about that. Broski from for like a month and a half was so insane
about what to bring in well, because we cut it down to just the
the mainline figures because it would have got too crazy, would have been too
long. I remember what threw is out of his house and that definitely would
happened. Is the way people are, like, oh, comrade has checked
out. But it was four in the morning when we wrapped, right,
it was so late because your flight was laid watched the vlog. Yeah,
there are a couple of things I want to mention to clarify some things.
First of all, okay, so they were released in like late eighty four.
We said eighty five, big fn deal the people Okay, Okay,
Warrior did wear those boots. If not similar to wrestleminenty five, this one,
okay, I think I say it in the pod. The outfit is
not the same, but it's as close to what that figure is, right.
But I was shocked because I had no recollection wearing black boots. So
it's that May whoever pointed that out, awesome for you. You got us
whatever. And this is something that we got after the fact about like the
the numbers and the letters. So here we go one second. Sorry,
I'm gonna read it word for word. I think it is most likely a
cavity number. It was important to know which mold cavity made an item because
as the cavities wore and find details were reduced, the factor you need to
know when to replace an individual cavity in the mold. This was especially important
because we were using aluminum cavities in the first couple of years and they wear
out faster, faster than the usual beryllium cavities. That was the best you've
ever read on the show, and I said it once. Yeah. So
the just that is they're pumping out these figures so much that the molds would
wear and they have to redo the mold. So like those numbers were like,
okay, this is that generation of that. Right, there's more and
I'm definitely gonna mess this up. You could probably associate negligible discrepancies with a
number of differences is but it doesn't mean much else. At the height of
the production line, who knows how many molds were in use simultaneously to meet
shipment quantity demands. So you send me this an LGA and scientist someone who
worked for LJAH. Actually they watched it, so I had reached out to
this before the episode we filmed it, and he got back to me after
the episode unfortunately. So you're saying little discrepancies such as perhaps nipples on a
macho band stuff like that, or the belly buttons and stuff like that.
That makes perfect sense. And then also we were talking about the George Steeles,
like the hair and stuff like that, and it's funny because one popped
up on eBay this week, and I look, it was very odd because
the painted laces. They painted laces on and the George still doesn't and it
was very sloppy. It also had green eyebrows, but it said it was
an LGA and prototype and it had the hair. But to me, the
hair looked so good like it looked so like factory made. And I was
winning it for like thirty seven bucks something like that, and then I was
like, all right, I'm gonna try to get this at the very very
end, and I put three hundred and less thirty seconds. I was instantly
bid. I put four hundred instantly, I bit. I put five hundred
the last second and I was outbid. And it's over five hundred bucks.
Do you think it's real? I would have liked to have taken the gamble
and then done the research. I just think that's something like that to me
is you're not gonna be able to tell until it's in your hand. That's
what I'm saying. No, That's why I wanted to get it. And
then it's weird to say like, no matter how good of a photo is,
you need to have in your and be like Noah, And that's and
that's happened with me. With many Hasbro prototypes, people thought fake fake,
fake, fake fake. I got him for steals. I did the research
later proved they were real. And in this case, since it was eBay
and not friends and family with some schmuck, I could have gotten my money
back. So it was like a win win. Yeah, but I lost.
But I was asking him about the I'm not gonna say his name,
but I was asking him about the Georgia animal steel and stuff like that,
and uh so I sent him like all these pictures that have shown up like
on like not only eBay but the internet, and they're all like kind of
similar, you know what I'm saying. And he said to me, I
honestly can't confirm any of those samples, but the one currently on eBay did
mention Jack as his granddad, so that gives it some real credibility. So
like it's possible. Like wow, yeah, I wonder who won it now
I shouldn't say, though, Mark Bushy, Okay, this segment, guys
just checked his imaginary watch like Austin at the Royal Road Bowl. This segment
is brought to you by Off the Hopro podcast. It's the podcast that pairs
the perfect beer with the perfect wrestling match. And this is a segment that
we are calling. Previously on the Major Wrestling Figure podcast, we talked about
it. This is an idea that I had. No, it's not it
is uh. You guys brought it up last episode in the Q and a
episode that you might do this. I'm gonna rapid fire you guys some of
the inside jokes, things that you say, and you have said over the
last year and a half on the podcast that hey, maybe somebody came in
six months in they have no idea what this is? Okay, okay,
and you're gonna sort of tell the meaning of these things, okay, like
a abbreviated version. Yeah, yeah, you don't have to go okay.
First thing, Daniel Adams, he says, the only thing I missed was
what up? Did I have no idea? What? Really? We're not
gonna say the real reason of it, but we will say it's like a
problem say we shouldn't. We'll say a certain former superstar would greet the dead
Man by saying that. And we were reminded by it by Luke Gallows that
we were all just, for some reason, just dying laughing over them and
then like we were obsessed for a while, like whatever a couple months ago,
word up, dude, dude saw each other or anything, or if
the Undertaker's name is mentioned at all in any capacity. But now I've heard
that if I see him, I'd go, what up, dude? It's
perfect? Yeah, okay uh Now. A lot of people mentioned take a
shot as their take a shot as their favorite, one of their favorite things.
It's like become part of their lives. They say it all the time.
A lot of people I know say it in real life. It's when
I stutter. I don't remember if that was something that we said, or
someone wrote in and said, oh my god, if you played a drinking
game to Broski's, you know, it was either you or somebody that wrote
someone. I feel like someone might even wrote in and said I love the
show, but good lord if you were to you know, every time Rosy
can't read or if something, yeah, so then you just started saying take
the shot, take us out everything. Aimon Marrigan said, I don't understand
why my name is unpronounceable. Unpronounceable. It was Emon hearing Mulligan. It's
to the point where I don't even want to ever learn real name or how
to say it, because it's more fun for me to imagine how I think
it is. Yeah, okay, Broski always says detail. That's from Conrad
was does he say yes in great detail? In great detail? Okay,
I see, Okay, I don't think you can actually say what this means.
But no hair, no flair. Oh that's Scott Yinger, who's never
seen a shoot interview like that's been said. He just says it. I
think he says it, and it's self explained. I think you could figure
it out everyone to use their imagination. But that's been said, like any
kind of you can probably find that on YouTube, you know, old school
YouTube. It old school boys saying that he shoots. David Glenn says the
whole sting or stang thing that. That's when we interviewed Heath and he kept
saying his favorite whistle was stang with a southern twang. It wasn't exactly saying
sting like I would have said. He goes man, I just grew up
a low stang man too. We brought out our Stang, who has since
car On is now a phenomenon. Now are Stang is a character basically within
the show. It's like Nbo Stang, but we got Stang, which get
an Stang. We got enough sang. Stang was also the door of the
clown at the first ever show. It's truely, yeah, he's evolved.
Justin Wall says, I lose track of the people that are friends of the
pod and how they relate, so maybe we can rapid fire Tommy Boy Jay
Silva. We went to the same wrestling schools, always been a friend forever.
He's a failed indie wrestler, but our good friend Kanik. He works
for Moss. He is like our merch dealer for anything that's not zombie,
like the pop sockets and stuff like that merch dealer. This guy wrote Todd,
who's man we don't really like. So Todd is a kid that I
went to high school with that I befriended because like I think we and we've
talked about this moment. It's hard to abbreviate this story, but there was,
you know, the attitude or wherever one of the whole world love wrestling
and not so much, and like I dealt with that high school and like
to and I became really good friends because we still loved wrestling, right like
we go to shows, and he was committed to collecting Jack's specific products and
going to live shows. So like, well like hit it off with we're
friends, and through meeting Matt, he met him the beriend. That's what
you're wrong about. I knew him before that, never knew he was Todd
from from wrestling Face message board. He was can Cheritol for twenty and he
would let me know like what long Island stores had things. And then I
found out later it's Brian's friend Todd. It's can CHARTO four twenty, and
my mind was just that's a bigger fate right there. There's also a really
funny thing that happened with this with this Todd guy. There's a lot of
so you thought he might listen to this podcast, he might be emon he
was so but there's so many stories done with that. But I always think
about he was. He was the most insane mint On card collector I ever
met in my life, to the point where if he found a figure,
he carry it like a pizza through through like whatever Walmart, like like on
his flat hand like that like a tray all the way the red. It
was wild then, but it's always always about conditioning and stuff. But the
vlog that we did at Wrestling Universe, uh so, the whole idea,
and we mentioned it in the podcast, is that that Jack got in a
state sale. And there's a scene that I cut out of the of the
video where Jack is explaining to Brian that this isn't a state sale from he
says, oh, a collector from Long Island. You might know. His
name was Todd, and you guys both immediately think it's your friend that you
grew up with Todd. Quite even more weird about the whole thing was that
the it was the wrong Todd, but it was still a Todd I went
to high school with. Then I knew that Todd he was talking about too,
which I was like, what the heck? Very god, Okay,
Ted Dad is the shoot name for wrestling for Sale. We'll say that,
but he doesn't or he didn't want to be it. Always like real baby,
I'm not saying his last name is address and I'm laughing because he sells
vintage dressing shirts. He's not like, does work for the government. Like
I don't know why he did what people do his day, but I know
he didn't want it, so he always says, Ted was like, you
didn't want any want to know that Mark Bushy, Mark Bushy, the Bushman,
the Wheeling Dealers out of a gun. I first met him and he
started my prototype collection when I bought the Green Trunks Macho Man off him.
And then we talk like probably like multile times a week, The bush Man.
That's how I met him. He's a very unique collector and I don't
know how he does, but he finds. Just today he posted those Hall
of Fame Undertaker has heads. Got three of them. Yeah, Whether I
thought he bought them from you or something, Oh yeah, okay, I
still have mine. Wow. And just by complete random he lives in the
town next to me. That's called figure faith. Your figure hunting buddy Rolly
is another one that's very hard to explain, like, uh god, they're
not rapid fire in a nutshell. One time, during my first run with
WB, I had the weekend off and I was hanging out with my friend
Paul and Dan, who I lived with, and we were just bachelor's living
in Queens, like to be in degenerates, you know, and I Kevin
Matthews told me he was working in Queens like ten minutes away at that Elks
Lodge. He's like, yeah, Sid Psycho, Sid's on the show,
blah blah blah. I was like, and there's a bar there, it's
that little spot. So I was like, let's go there and pregame whatever.
So like on a Friday night, we went to this friggin it was
might have been what pw wes was before Pat Buck got involved, That's what
it was. And we just like pregamed and drank our faces off to the
point where Danny Demanto had a match, and Paul dislikes Dany Demanto from other
things that had happened in the past, so Paul went out of his way
and he's hammered to like ruin his match from the crowd. From the crowd,
I mean, to the point where everyone in the buildings like what's going
on? Yeah, yeah, you suck, No, you suck in real
life. And then like there's this whole other story I can't get into,
where like Paul thanks Demantos, which might have done stole his air conditioner when
he moved out of this apartment we all have. He's like, you stole
my air conditioner, and he's just like taking over this like ruining his match.
It was wild and I don't know where this guy hands off a megaphone
like Lilia and it's Raley and he hands his megaphone to Paul. What's bad
ten times worse? Like literally you're gonna Dan and everybody in the crowd thinking
it's part of the ruin his match. But that's how we met Rolin.
He was there just loving every second of it. And I guess he had
just moved away for a long time. He moved back and he's always like
wrestling. He's a big wrestling fan. And then uh, somehow we got
into like baseball talking. He's been my friend ever since, my good friend.
So head of security rolly on, Yeah, all right, he's I
mean, and you know him from grabo shows like he's he's a good friend
to have, you know what I mean, he's, Oh my god,
you want him on your side? Yeah, exactly. Zombie Zombie I met
years ago. That's how I got my case Fresh literally Case Fresh Hasbro Series
one. Kept in contact with him for years. When I was moving from
New York to Orlando, he came to my brother's house where I kept all
my stuff in storage, and he took my extra stuff that I wanted to
sell, sold it for me at like toy shows and stuff like that,
and then I knew he was the perfect guy to get on board for the
pins and all that stuff. And honestly, I don't think he gets enough
credit for what he has done for this pod merched. He's got a jacket.
He's got a jacket. One of those people who love the jacket.
Us three uh tdd ttd ttd got the jacket. That was like a great
surprise for Christmas. He didn't know I was getting it. Yeah, I
sent it to him and Zombie. Only five of us got it. And
Zombie is he's a hustler. Yeah, he's the white glove Man, great
Pat buck ww producer, same roofstar, same as in the same as in
the Boat as Jay Silva, except j Silva was at our school when we
started, and he was just like a jabron and Pat like he was a
veteran guyither and like to Matt and I, he was like this big star
to us. I'll never get One day he was wearing like this bright yellow
button down shirt with a roller bag and I had like a thousand thinking about
it. Two thousand and three he would come with a roller bag and a
full like cash suit and tie and he just he just seemed like this huge
star. Yeah, so we really played the part so like so we were
like intimidated by him. I I totally was. Yeah, I thought he
was like way older than us. He's not. He's about our age.
So uh and then with you, yeah, obw together he came to f
CW for a while, We're like we got close there too, even even
more so. And then we've had a creative for years now and then breaking
news we're we're launching create a bro in Orlando, Florida, US three.
I'll teach you how to put topic in your bolt spot. Max Caster,
Uh, he's a day one for real creative pro student and he does our
music is great. I always watch his freestyle Friday is the best. I
think he's one. And I'm completely biased because he's my one of my you
know, fond students, and I think he's very talented. But man,
he's an untapped talent. Like I think he's got he can do it all,
like really good size, it looks great, works, great hard worker,
very hard worker. Yeah. So super Gabby, real quick. Super
Gabby is someone I found let Go and he just had this insane collection in
a storage unit. And I went with Marty the Villain, and it was
incredible how much stuff he had. And then I would just keep going back
because there was so much stuff. And eventually I think I got everything that
I needed from him. But as he was selling his collection, I could
always tell there's like new stuff in this. I'm like, dude, are
you trying to sell? What do you do? Because there's always new stuff.
Great guy, And if you want some chicken in Orlando, Florida,
hit up super Gabby. I don't know what chicken. He's finally stopped ding
me. David C. Anderson David S. Anderson. We met him on
social media because he was letting Green Card Hasbro's breathe very early early in the
podcast when we started, like a year and a half go, I'll never
forget, I think right away we said at them like that's something we would
say to each other in real life anyway, that wasn't like a made up
thing. And then he was sending videos to the podcast social media accounts going
let him breathe and like ripping open this. It was popping out of us.
So like that's how he got our attention. And then he came to
Live one. I don't remember that before we even really I didn't know that
I even really knew him. He came to the Toy Drive just to help
out, so he's a born leader. Like I watch him, he basically
ran all the students that were there to help. And it's just like boring
the host of Live. He has a piece of merchandise that none of us
have, the one of one major Pod Live four tie. That's true,
he said, My daughter McKenzie custom shirts with Lion King and her name on
it. And Elsa's a great last person. There's a few more things,
uh and and everyone asked about this. There was like thirty people that posted
soon Neil. Now. I mentioned this before in the chattels A freak one
though. I don't know if I even brought this up, but some friends
of mine brought it up to my attention that they when we talked about Neil,
they all assumed that we were talking about one of the singer brothers.
That's funny from the Hulk Still Rules DVD. We're both there. Even if
when we talked about this that we truly explained you didn't know. I don't
think the Hulk Still Rules DVD. We've put the clip online times where he
goes to Hulk Is Back. Hulk Still Rules made his run while he does
an appearance at the Giant Toys, Rust and Times Square. You're there,
I'm there. I don't even know him yet, he's there. I'm there
with Todd actually, and Neil was there. Man, No, I don't
think about this. I don't know how. Okay, let me keep going
anyway, the DVD comes out, Neil is like pretty much featured on the
segment of the DV. I'm also on it when they're scanning the line,
I do the hand of the year and I point and it goes to the
next seg okay, but Sounil's like featured like a Huko baby. He's he's
crying his eyes from gangs. He saved me from joining gangs, blah blah
blah. And then podcast wise it came I don't know how I came up
or like because maybe Casa wrote in or something. I said, I know
this guy blah blah blah, said he's one on the DVD, Like what
the hell gang was trying to recruit and then he was on the he was
on our access line up Mania. Also, yes, I've known him for
years because he's like Kevin Matthews high school buddy, and I knew that he's
the guy cried the DVD and he's Kevin's buddy. I don't know if Kevin
put that all together my mind years ago, I don't know, but I
just knew that the whole time, So I knew who he was forever got
it. Yeah, So he and he's just being a character guys in the
group. He probably would despise us off. There's two funny things about this.
He will probably despise that I'm saying this. But he wrote us a
very very nice message after the show and he did great. And also on
the flip side, we everything about us being on that show and actually wrestling
and stuff was so up in the air. Can I read what he said
or now, now let's just think with that. It was. It was
very nice, but it was so up in the air to the point where
like we had an idea of what we wanted to do and we did it.
We did everything we wanted to do, which was a dream come true.
But we had like a backup plan for like Okay, if we're not
allowed to do this, this is what we'll do. So we never told
We just told Sdi, hey, we need you to be there, and
do you have a spot. We never told him anything else. And he
shoot showed up with like two hours of the show, not knowing that he's
wrestling, not knowing that he's in the main event, not knowing that he's
wrestling ww Superstars, not knowing that he's bumping, and he's this guy's never
wrestled before, he's never stepped foot in the wrestling ring, and he just
like did it all like a soldier without it like complaining or didn't question a
thing, which is pretty nuts. If he stepped back and he goes like
we were talking about the match, like he knew and he goes, wait,
I'm wrestling. Oh yeah, Like that's how much we kept them in
the dog. It's a good thing we practiced. That's tunner, That's all
I'll say. Yeah, real quick, who's Lucy? Who's Lucy's When we
were talking about loose figures with me and I said something about Lucy and he
does, wait, who's Lucy? Yeah you thought we talked about that woman?
Right? Yes? It was like that I think was the one that
he just invaded, but we didn't even ask him to do it, and
he just like bombard in the room and he's sitting there and listen to us
legitious bulk about toys. And I was like, Oh, you're gonna keep
it lucy, Yeah, I gotta keep it loosey. He was white,
who's lucy? Legit? Confused about what we're talking about. Michael Coopman says,
I know I heard the holly thing, but what is holding? Sucked
to match a Deep South? And Bob Aley was backstage and it was there.
He's the most veteran guy. We go to him, Hey, Bob's
here a match if any advice? She goes, yeah, sucked, And
I was like, okay, what what part do you think we should improve
it? Whole the suck and we're like, okay. That was the extent
of the talk. Ho ho you know it to Brownie is a SmackDown.
I don't exactly know where it was filmed. Where I'm trying to get into
m VP's VIP lounge and Iron Cheek is there. Now, granted this is
a live shot. That's why it's a mess up. Okay, I don't
know why I was live a SmackDown live. No, maybe they just used
a live shot and just kept it as I also think like you get what
you get when you're filming with Iron Cheek, he's supposed to say something like,
no you can't get in. You know what your BRONI goes. You
know it? Your bronie still pretty good. Uh. Danny Romdeler says,
when Brian sings Dome, that's actually more of a thing. I know that
Tommy Boy j Silva pops. When I do that, that's the hall of
Fame. I don't know like how fans see the Hall of Fame. I
love the Hall of Fame. But sometimes when you're sitting out there that's over
and you're just like over, your mind goes another place because you're just kidnapped
almost, you know, and you're like it over and over. You're just
clapping, you're just getting out, You're pretending to be paying attention when like
you've literally blacked out. You know, You're like the comic could be on
at any time. I can't be like on my phone or like you know.
Adam Gibbons says, hops and the pops pops is what I say to
beginning of my podcast. Listen to your podcast. Uh, that's so Jack's.
It's just Jack's making like Jack's stuff. That's like the unexplainableness that Jack's
put out over here sometimes that you're just gonna be like, of course,
that's so Jackson. And then the last thing, this is something I've always
wondered, where did you come up with good Housekeeping? I know good housekeeping
was Brian when you said we should we have to have a housekeeping segment,
and Brian said, like good housekeeping match like Jeff Jarrett versus China. Yea.
But then you just started going welcome to good private parts. I can't
recall where it came from. That might be a bruskuar Oga. Good is
a private part seed Pop and he's like blank a doogle doude w ABC.
I guess it's similar, but I don't. That's not where I got it
unless I did subconscious bank a doodle do blank a doodle do willow blank Willow.
I remember this well, guys, that was Zen and that was our
segment previously on the Major Wrestling Finger podcast. And the last thing I for
good Housekeeping. We put this on the Patreon group. Not that we were
reading your well, we were reading your suggestions, but we weren't like taking
them to read. Here we're doing this. I got from my Disney podcast
the Old, Best and Worst, and we each were to pick our five
best and worst wrestling. I feel like we're gonna have a very just difficult
and I kind of went out of the box and we didn't have the same.
Okay, let's do the worst f us. Get the negative out of
the way, and then we can go with positive. And now this is
in mine are no particular order. It's not ranking. Yeah, yeah,
not mine, not an order, it's just five. Okay, do you
want to go first? Mark? No, you go first. That Baron
Gorbin with hair got it on my list. Inexcusable, excusable, can't.
It was in the case at kamic Con, and which was bizarre because like
they're so anal about not showing things that aren't ready, and it was there
anyway with a disclaimer saying, hey, this is step it will be fixed,
and then it still came out messed up. And I know the defense
has been like, well, the first time he shaped his head, he
had some stubble. This is not stuffle. This is this this is a
number three. This is a number three, And it's not like they're banging
out figures constantly, where like the next month of New Corbin came out.
So people wait for this corporn for so long and he's such a high profile
players. Like I said, it didn't not sell because you need it,
there was So it's been so long, Like this guy's on TV every week
in Big Spot. We're coming up on like two years of that aircut and
that's all they got, right, that's crazy. There's there is no excuse.
I don't care how much to Jacks speaking of a something we just explained.
I don't This is I explained this before. This is like that scene
in ELF. I don't care how much it costs you. You fix that.
No, you fix that. You know, sometimes you have to take
a loss. Yeah, take two steps forward or two steps backwards. What's
what's what's the question? Mested out. I don't even know. I think
it's the opposite to say, Brian Zuber, but there's no excuse to that.
Yeah, okay, Brian, you say one. Okay, I think
we all have this one. If we're going to try to get the obvious
ones out of the way, wrestle maybe and McK foley ten cent face you
can say that. So it's just brutes. Now this is coming like off
Dude Gate, which is less which is ironic, but whatever. I don't
know if iron needs the word. I think unfortunate is the word. Maybe
that, But it's just it looks horrible and honestly, it's the same thing
as I said with the cor Everyone had to buy this to get the Dan
Davis, so it almost does. I have it. I gave it to
my my god son. I'm like scare and I actually I have it like
in my display because it's like an iconic match, so I need it.
But I didn't just buy it. I bought it because that's the only incarnation
of that era. I have a confession. He's in the zip block and
am in my deep do really? Yeah, that's fine, it's too ugly.
Whatever. You need one, No, I have I have it him
on display. No, why do you have one of each legend on displayed
flashbacks? I have? Okay, what other Mick is technically Nick Foley now,
but come on, you need him several mankinds. The dude he has
them to both Jackson needs to be on display. All right, the Shawn
Michaels retro I have. He's on mine too. I wasn't sure if that
was this year. It was. It was supposed to be like two years
ago though so does account. Yes, it came out this year. It
came out in this year. All right. I left off my list because
in my mind, I'm like, this is supposed to be out like twenty
seventeen. We have the same list one. First of all, that figure
is another inexcusable piece of junk. It sucks neck down, neck down,
necktown. It's great head face. The head is just horrible. All right,
what do you got? Okay? I don't know if you guys might
all I'll have this or not. Goldberg Austin Battle Pack sixty. That's a
good one. I don't have that one on just too stupid. If you
want to know what it's all about. Goldberg is like in right, year
three oh four, w W Goldberg and then a Austin from that era where
he's just a GM. He's no longer supposed to be in geen Shorts' supposed
to be in jeene shorts or jeans, and he is in drunk and it's
just crazy. It makes sure, it's clearly from that era. It's historically
inaccurate, and I could not get over. We've made fun of a million
times on the air. It's so bad. It's like it's like he's meeting
Bill in the locker room bike and the short we said backstage talk, you
guys like depicting this imaginary backstage stalk they had calling the magic about to put
on the shorts about he's about to put on the shores for Bills to tell
something. It's really urgent. I don't know like it is, it's is
what it is. Should do one? Yeah, mine is not Mattel here,
it's that mego onto the I have. We have the same list.
I have that on an honorable mention that I put. I figured, it's
so nobody gives it about this figure. It's it's even worth so bad.
But we saw it. We saw it a toy fair and we were like,
good, it looks melted. Yeah, it's horrible, but it's that's
maybe what those look I don't know, horrible, but it's supposed to be
vintage, you know. But it's bad. So we have the same list.
So my final one, okay, is Alexa Bliss one O four.
That's on my list. Don't have that on my own. It's not good,
but that's not what takes. It's okay. I figure's just I'm just
gonna call it scary. What else you have? My last one, which
I doubt you guys have, is Bobby Lashley Elite sixty nine. Is that
he's in trust. Like I know you have that reference shot where you are
trunks, but this guy is one of these bikers his whole goddamn career.
There's no excuse for everywhere in these trunks. I understand you have a reference
shot where he maybe you wore them in this photo and we've all seen it
and it's proof of it. But months and months and months to get this
figure out. His first figure from Motel, Come on, it's stupid.
Mine is the Summer Slam Razor Ramone. Ooh, that's a good one.
I'm a huge Razor Ramone fan. Listens to basics, so I can deal
with no chest there. I can't deal with inaccurate gear boots to the wrong
color. Gear is the wrong color. It's supposed to depict SummerSlam. If
it was just a regular basic I could give it a pass. It's supposed
to depict this event. So someone at Mattel knows that they're making this figure
based off SummerSlam. They're looking at those photos of the match videos the match,
I assume, and this video looks nothing like it. To me.
Inexcusable. What's even more excusable if someone looked at that and said, yeah,
good job. You know what I'm saying, like they made this,
and then someone else said, you know what, that's a good job.
Ship shape send it out to the world. Yeah, I mean, I
understand if you're not a snob, that one's a little more like. But
I call it Summer Slam. Yeah, it's brutal, but it's supposed to
depict a certain era. It's messed up like verbatim. Like that's brutal.
Now, enough of the negativity. Let's just go right to the pauses unless
you get honorable mentions. I had so for each category had an honorable mention.
I put the storm Liger as honorable for this because it just came out.
It's like two weeks old, Like if you don't have it, I
feel like it's so fresh it could almost be a twenty twenty item. It's
amazing, imbox they check it out on our YouTube. Ch I think we're
gonna have a lot of the best as well. Yeah, me too.
I don't think so because you guys don't collect modern roster guys, I got
you. I have no moder on air, so that's like a big thing.
I guess I don't either. Yeah, all right, so Mark you
go first. Sorry, I'm just gonna go real quick. I got the
red and yellow Hogan Storm collectibles. I got the Diesel all five, No,
just the red yellow, but you're going all five, the Diesel,
Retro Slim Jim Macho, hardy Boys, brewed Tupac, and the Liger.
I don't have the liger yet, so a John when you get back from
them from vacation, my five Slim Jim Macho. I think it might be
the figure of the year. I might think it. Might think it's the
figure of the decade, Ultimate Ultimate Warrior, Ultimate Dition, Ultimate Warrior.
Such a such a horrible period. It's a great figure. It's never been
depicted in a figure for him. Then that gives it a cool, very
cool cool. I love it. Retro Diesel, something we needed, King
Mabel. Yeah, I almost put all this and my this, Like I
said this is no order and to something might be my personal favoritism coming in
here. Gorilla monsoon held it in my hand, so I h only repeat
of all those things just said. I have King Mabel Elite sixty eight.
Which one do you have? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what.
At first I couldn't even be there. That Chase was bold. Well,
yes, I accept that I can be a different half coming out, which
I'm gonna definitely get. Well. I just said about that volley, I
have one of those in a bag because I'm like, you can't put like
the exact same You can't put those no matter what Bill says. Okay,
this is where my list in your list is crazy different. Eric Young Elite
sixty five A cool one, unbelievable detail. I think it went so onto
the radar because of like his lack of TV time. He's since drastically changes
what a time tonight, I kicked my face by Charlotte Fla. That's just
a coincidence. But there's just so much like even just like when he would
not lace his boots, he has that mold like this some really cool detail.
Although sanity figures there is yeah that honestly, all four Sandity figures are
pretty nuts. And also the big Sanity guy has the Killian Dame kill Day
I know by a shoot Dabe, but has the his pockets painted on his
butt cheeks. Oh my god. Anyway, wait, can I guess one
of that you have? You must have put the bludgeing Brothers. They're same.
Harper Road Elite sixty six, budgro You love that. I don't because
you guys don't get modern master. I didn't get you're not appreciating these things.
Unbelievable, unbelievable effort. You know, like head to toe just so
everywhere it's like like it's not a dude in trunks, Like there's so much
going on here that's that's unique to you know, any other figure. Uh
Live Morgan Elite sixty nine Store Exclusive. Wowkay, unbelievable, same thing,
just like huh, head to toe just pure decowkins on there. My figures
from twenty eighteen. Yeah. And then my last one is Jeff Hardy Elite
seventy one, the newest Jeff with the different heads and stuff. It's the
hands ahead. It's just even has like the lightning sleeves. Like I'll tell
you this when we vote for the Hall of Fame year two, Slim Jim
Macho Man, I'm gonna try to get to win the Mattel and then have
imagine this at the first out wins two years in a row from Mattel last
year say that I had that, but I was like, both of you
are going to bring that to the table, so I don't need that figure.
I'm not even kidding, might be the best figure of the decade,
possibly Bravo Mattel. I am a huge Macho fan. Whole packaging, it's
everything, It's like, it's an incredible presentation. It is now time for
the Incarnation of Domination. The Incarnation of Domination. The Incarnation of Domination is
a weekly segment where we pick a superstar and pick our favorite version have that
superstar. Each week we try to stump each other and this week it's Brian's
turn. All right, So I didn't know you were going to get into
that story before, but that the reason I picked this one is because I
wanted you to did pick your favorite Sergeant Slaughter Actually figure is the one that
you don't have that that guy sold to someone else. I do have the
the unpainted resin prototype, which we don't know for sure if it's I don't
know exactly. I'm not I'm not saying it's not from LJN. I just
don't know if it was supposed to be officially released. Well, I don't
count even the I don't count the mail away you have to. Okay,
So there's the Maloway depicted as a G I. Joe and not arresting.
It's a Hasbro Maloway made by Hasbro, but it's supposed to go with your
LJA and figures even the ad has start just lead of beating up LJA and
figures you need it. It doesn't count. It's a G I Joe.
When you have nothing left, you're gonna get it. Well that's what I'm
doing now with these Hasbro mail aways that I'd never get. So we'll see.
But right now, no way, What made you think of Sargeant Slaughter
because you told me this week that that guy sold that I'm gonna get Brosky.
I love the Hasbro It's perfect. It's so perfect you think about like
nothing was reused anyone else because it's all so unique to him. Yes,
like the finger points great, it's so easy to play with the legsers.
I think that's how we think about that's an underrated figure big time. I
agree. I do like the the Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter figure too. Yeah,
you've made the custom Paul Hayman's out of those out of that. Yeah,
you pop up Paul Hayman Jack's head on that Commissioner. He's also doing
a finger point pinning your point. He's got the paperwork. Put a Lasi
dub head on golden. Then what else is the the the Jack's Classic Superstars,
the Mittel's. There's so many Jack's classics. I actually really liked back
in the day. I believe it was a ring side exclusive with Randy.
Is it Ruthless Aggression two pack? Because oh yeah, it has like the
wheel Vegas Wheel, the Vegas Weel only fought on raw like yes, yes,
I do remember that was great. I had that one. Uh what
was the raw roulette? Roulette and they had a match. So it was
that. That's the reason they made the two pack. Then when Mattel got
the license, they tried making all obscure versions of figures, and they made
Sarta and Slaughter and like the white with blue tights like early which is cool,
and they made the snooker in the boots, like come on, but
it was. It's interesting because it's a different look because like I, to
Bill's credit, all the Slaughters are pretty much the same cameo pants, black
singlet that first you're talking, you were referring to their first Legend series one
Slaughter. To me, that's very g I Joe Slaughter, that white and
the blue. I don't know, that's what I think of it. He's
had like iconic matches in that outfit. Yeah, but it's and it's also
like pre rock and wrestling, right, pretty Starge and Slaughter. So I
don't know. I liked the that basic that just came out where they have
the uh evil slaughter Evil. I like that. I want my country.
That's when he that's when he makes his baby face hood. But for Slaughters,
man, I mean, I think my my favorites gotta be uh getting
him crazy. But the Commissioner Slaughter figure, I love that. I love
what it represents. It's never been done again. Ringside Collection line was so
underrated and had guys, but guys in the line that you would never normal
that you need. I really like the Mattel Hall of Fame one that's just
like that is beautiful, light up slaughter. You know. It's like,
yes, if you got one slaughter, you could get that and that would
be it for your collection. I think that might be will be the best
one. And then Jackson made a lot of cool like exclusive ones, like
like one of twenty and one of the hundred. Yeah yeah, you're packed
with add none right, No, it's col Mustafa. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Yeah. There's a lot of slaughters, but like like we've said,
most of them look very very similar because he didn't really alter his look.
I get it. Yeah, So that's why my favorite would be the the
Commissioner one, just because it is so different. Yeah, if you're right,
cool, all right? That Commissioner was also we talked about last week
because they had that. I wish there were stooges to go with it.
I agree, right, I agree. A maggot. He was also my
broski other week ones. We were like, he came for tribute the troops.
He was either my partner or my manager. No, no, no,
no, no, he was. He came with what am I trying
to say? He accompanied me to the ring and I took on swagger my
valet. He was start I'm not saying that, but he was the Brosky
of the week. G I Broski. Wow, all right, all right,
the WTF figure of the week. Obviously it's like the what the figure
of the week and week w E A K. It's done on purpose that
way. And the winner, the award winning action figure this week is a
Smashing Slam Lex Luger variant edition. Now, those Smashing Slams were the first
toy BIZ W CW figures, and they all had what three variants? Not
everyone had, Like I was looking at a ton of them, not all
of them had. Okay, well Luger had three. Yes. First of
all, the regular figure is almost w The regular figure is almost WTF worthy.
It's because you should be in trunks and he's in these like jeans with
boots on. But he did red booty switched to like wolf pack and he's
trying to be cool. He did wear this though, So that's why I
don't hate it. It's kind of it's kind of a crappy figure compared to
all the other toy bis just in general, like just almost the lack of
detail. I guess there's the ones that has no shirt, the pants with
the red boots, the no shirt pants with the black boots. Then there's
this version the Winner, the WGF Winner, where they just painted on a
wolf Pack shirt. So with the I mean, like we said, it's
a bad figure beginning, But the real problem here is it's not the actual
nWo logo in red. It looks like a child and crayon just wrote nWo
on a black shirt. It's not even a shirt. It's like a painted
chest. It's not really a shirt either, So there's a lot of it's
like he's wearing under armour nWo shirt, which like it doesn't make sense if
you're going to put an nWo shirt, Like even figures in this line have
nWo shirts and it's the actual logo. I don't understand where that, how
that decision was made, or how they got to that. I don't know
if it's because he's not wearing a real shirt and it's he's so ripped that
they couldn't maybe apply the details logo what it was, but the figure just
looks horrible. And I don't think it was a necessary addition to the line,
because, like you said, not everyone had all these variants, So
did you really need that? I remember collecting these and you just never really
knew, Like you'd show up at like KB and be like, wait,
what, my Luca doesn't look like this, and you have to like figure
out on your own, right, you know. The the more known ones
are like Hogan with the Tan or Hoging without the Tan, you know,
and there's also the Hogan. There's this thing thing with different faces and stuff
and this line like things just were constantly chained DDP and the black jeans,
right, you know, things were just constantly changed. I still love that
first line of toy biz. I mean I love the whole and doing research
for this uh seg, I was just looking at a bunch. I love
it. I love the packaging, locking was so great, everything about it.
But you know, Scott Hall and resk All in white macho and red
macho and white stinging red, stinging white, like all over the place about
the the KBS. We could have done that as a WTF what's that KB
exclusive Goldberg and he comes into KB Toys shirt, Oh my god, I
didn't have that one. And a bar bell that came up. I know
it came with the Colossus X Men figure because I had I did not have
that figure. That would have been a great one. Yeah. Yeah,
double winner this week, Well your your winner slash Leisure is Lex Luger the
Total Patch. Next up is the Q and a section of the Major Wrestling
for your podcast. You ask us a question on Twitter using the hashtag ask
major pod, and you know what we're gonna do. If we read that
question on air, We're gonna send you I ain't buy ten and not just
any of it by ten, a major wrestling figure podcast, the most beautiful
a beautiful in all the land. So you want to go first? Sure?
I got a question from Chris Fresh at Chris Fresh. Some Star Wars
collectors think that repro stickers are sacrilegious. What do you think if people are
buying a secondhand ring, should repos stickers affect the value? I'm not selling
personally, just curious hashtag ask major Pod. I have a couple opinions.
There's a lot of the air right this one. That's why I picked this.
If someone does a ring restoration, buys a ring or has a ring,
cleans it up and buys the stickers and wants to sell it, if
they say it's replacement stickers, I'm fine with them saying that. Yes,
if they try to pass it off that's the real deal. That's because it's
not the real deal. You're not looking at the real deal. Now you
have to say, this is a restoration has been done to this. So
for my personal collection, I have the real stickers, but I believe like
one or two of the stickers because it like dried up, you know,
the stickers like dry up and unsticky. Yeah, that makes sense. When
I was moving, I lost like two stickers, like maybe like a monitor
and like a WrestleMania. So I've used replacements for those instead of like getting
a brand new ring. We don't want get a five hundred ring I have,
So I have a couple on my ring. And where do you get
those replacement stickers from? I mean, you just it's very debayable. I
don't know. You know has romaniac roman one side customs. I think honesty
is the is like you said, is the key cage customs. The key
is the key to this whole thing. So if you put it in a
listing and you say it is, But I also don't think it devalues it.
Like if someone puts their heart and sold the restoration. This thing looks
impeccable, which I've done to these rings, and it's very close to perfect.
You know, I'm saying I would have put one of those on EVA.
I'm sure it would go for a dese amount of money. It's not
like people aren't going to bid on it. I agree, however, on
if you can live with that in your collection knowing that it's not true I
mean true to the right because the ropes are usually in that case restorations too,
because the ropes come with the stickers most of the time. And then
you have like this perfect ring. See No, I know I need it
to be all the authentic stuff. Okay, but that's what I'm Sakay,
So let's say that depends every scenarios. Person. Let's say just be like
question I gave Mark one, and I mean, he can answer this himself,
but I thought he'd be throw I don't think he was like this is
a repro sure, Okay, but okay, Hypothetically, Let's say you didn't
have the King of the Ring ring. You didn't just go buy it.
Now there was two on eBay. We're not not even on eBay. Let's
say you walked into jack store and there was a restoration ring mint and a
and a Mint brand new ring both displayed both set up. The mint ring
was seven hundred dollars of the real stickers and ropes, and the other ring
was three hundred dollars with the restoration stickers and ropes. Which one would you
buy? I think if the other one was fifty dollars, I get it,
not three hundred STI a lot of money to me, So it's a
lot of money to me too. But I'm just saying no. Then that's
the big difference. That's not much of a difference to me, but to
me and my collection, everything is so far authentic, so I'd rather keep
it that way, you know. But I don't think there's any problem with
that at all, especially for how the prices are and how good it was.
It's not like it's just like, no, it looks great. It's
not this half assed job like. It looks great. It looks incredible.
So Steel Cage Customs they make that you can make your ring in your house,
ring raw as and you can do whatever you want with these things,
And I think it's cool as long as they say it's reproduction. Honesty.
Honesty is the best policy. Is that it for that. Yep, all
right. My question is from Kim Jong Brow whoa ask major Pod hashtag ask
major Pod. Since l j AND style figures are coming out starting with the
Young Bucks, who else do you want to see in the first wave of
figures? Modern Day Maharaja just knocked on the door. Oh you're fine?
Okay. So we touched on this couple weeks back, as you missed it.
L j and is making their big trumpet return starting with Matt and Nick
Jackson the Young Bucks. Obviously, the villain's got to go number one,
right, friend of the show collector, I was thinking more selfish reasons and
thinking about the guys who was on the back of the black cards that never
came out. They could still get the rights to, like can you do
like Bruce Pritchard in a white suit and say it's Bruce Prichard in a white
suit? You can't do Brother? Does he not own the Brother Love?
Right? I have no clue. I'm just told see that's that's that's what
it all comes down to, the legality behind it. Can they make Brother
Love? Can they make Demolition Smash? Make bad News brown and call them
bad news? Allen? I don't know, you know, I don't know.
Could they do that? Could they make the bushwhackers smash? I would
almost have to say, no way, I don't see, I don't know
the rules, I don't know what. I don't know if I'm totally guessing
what's WW property and what's not. But Warlord and Barbarian, could they make
they do Barbarian? They could do Barbarian. I'm not exactly sure, but
I think that would be pretty cool. You're right, I think to explore
those options first, at least see what they could do that would be the
coolest. Like it, But the young Bucks were not in the in the
late nineteen eighties, No so, And I think but obviously the collection,
I don't. I don't think that's even like what they're thinking. No so,
I think like newer guys like the whole, like make the whole elite,
they're the hottest thing on like the independency, make them all and they
would sell, and that would like that would make the line line? Right?
That would that would that would be a great first series of the line.
Is all the elite figures for sure? And then who's who's to say?
Maybe they can make Maco and Brian Myers suits and yeah, skinny jeans
and T shirts. All right, I thought that was an interesting question and
I can't wait to find out what these figures look like. Yeah, same
here. We might be working on exclusive. I'm boxing lab on this show.
I would love to do that. Yeah sweet. All right, let's

dirt sheets and the and the the headline was like Zach Rider gets sniped out
of Lex Luger. Oh my god. That I didn't know what you were

it adds a wrestling news site with the headline Zach Ryder gets sniped for Alex
Luger, Oh my god. That all the time. So like he got
Naya first, and then he interviewed me and then I was like I think
