<v Speaker 1>Three to that doesn't work as well as last week.
<v Speaker 2>Today we are heading to w W SmackDown March twenty eight,
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and two. Some might call it the WWF,
<v Speaker 2>You could.
<v Speaker 1>Call it that. You could also call it the end
<v Speaker 1>of an era, James, because this, uh, this is of
<v Speaker 1>course the last SmackDown ever in the history of SmackDown
<v Speaker 1>ever where the Raw and SmackDown brands are combined. This
<v Speaker 1>is the SmackDown right after the inaugural draft, but the
<v Speaker 1>rosters have not been split yet for some reason. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if we ever really found out why, or
<v Speaker 1>they don't explain on the show. They just say this
<v Speaker 1>is how it's happening. So yeah, this is the final
<v Speaker 1>smack done with both Raw and SmackDown roster members on it.

<v Speaker 5>H All right, let's get into WWF SmackDown for March
<v Speaker 5>twenty eighth, two thousand and two.
<v Speaker 1>Two thousand two. Of course, the end of an era
<v Speaker 1>until that era, of course starts again and we kind
<v Speaker 1>of forget about this draft stuff. But it is the
<v Speaker 1>end of an era. Nonetheless, this will be the final
<v Speaker 1>show for the foreseeable future, for those that know in
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two that Raw and SmackDown will have
<v Speaker 1>the same guys on the same show. This is the
<v Speaker 1>SmackDown right after the Draft episode, which we did already,
<v Speaker 1>so if you missed that review, check that out. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>so this will be the final one before the brand
<v Speaker 1>split truly begins. Sure, before we get into that, let's
<v Speaker 1>talk about what was going on well with wrestling at
<v Speaker 1>the time. With the Wrestling Observer newsletter from The Observer
<v Speaker 1>March twenty fifth, two thousand and two, Meltzer says, true
<v Speaker 1>gimmick indie wrestler Danny Boy is now Danny Anthrax with
<v Speaker 1>his gimmick going to the ring with a big bag
<v Speaker 1>of white powder which he throws in his opponent's eyes
<v Speaker 1>as a finish. I mean, I don't know, you know,
<v Speaker 1>I guess if it's a part of your name, much
<v Speaker 1>like you know, Jack cart Wheel, everyone would assume he
<v Speaker 1>comes out and does cart wheels. If you're Danny Anthrax,
<v Speaker 1>you would come out and try to kill your opponent
<v Speaker 1>with Anthrax.
<v Speaker 6>This kind of crazy jump from it's a crazy jump
<v Speaker 6>a boy to Anthrax, like you're just going straight forward.
<v Speaker 6>I guess, I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm Johnny Malatov. With the SUPLEXF News, there seems
<v Speaker 1>to be mixed thoughts on the brand split. A lot
<v Speaker 1>of people have been told, going on nine months now
<v Speaker 1>that they'll be given more of a shot when the
<v Speaker 1>split comes, so they've been patiently waiting. There is also
<v Speaker 1>the feeling that with the popularity where it is, that
<v Speaker 1>this isn't at the right time. There was a mention
<v Speaker 1>of the TV show Friends and how bad an idea
<v Speaker 1>would be if NBC would have split the six stars
<v Speaker 1>into two different shows. Huh, I think they should do that.
<v Speaker 1>That's how it works.
<v Speaker 7>Why would they slim whatever?
<v Speaker 1>They should take the Simpsons and make two different shows
<v Speaker 1>with them. Put Bart and Homer on one and you know, uh,
<v Speaker 1>Marge and Lisa on the other.
<v Speaker 2>Futurama, Yeah, I guess.
<v Speaker 7>Family guid in American Dad, right, and the same things.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, Cleveland show. That was a third brand
<v Speaker 1>from The Observer. April first, two thousand and one. The
<v Speaker 1>World Wrestling Federation took one of its biggest risks in
<v Speaker 1>years by going through with the long proposed brand split
<v Speaker 1>and draft on March twenty fifth, While arguably the biggest
<v Speaker 1>drawing card and one of the key people in making
<v Speaker 1>the split work was sitting at home. The plan had
<v Speaker 1>always been, with the popularity of Steve Austin in the Rock,
<v Speaker 1>that each would be heading one of the brands, with
<v Speaker 1>only one chance per week to see each of them,
<v Speaker 1>it would be strong enough to maintain current ratings and
<v Speaker 1>celtickets and major cities on the road, even with what
<v Speaker 1>on paper would be less talent depth. Austin walked out
<v Speaker 1>after WrestleMania, and after attempts all week for a reconciliation failed,
<v Speaker 1>didn't appear on TV this week either. The original plans
<v Speaker 1>were for Austin to be the top draw on Rick
<v Speaker 1>Flair's Raw show. They built an angle for TV around
<v Speaker 1>Austin not being there, saying that due to a contractual situation,
<v Speaker 1>Austin going to be picked in the draft, selling the
<v Speaker 1>idea that Austin would go to the highest bidder. So
<v Speaker 1>they are under the impression he's coming back, and went
<v Speaker 1>so far as to say he would be on Raw
<v Speaker 1>on April first. So that's what's going on here. I don't,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think I know of like Austin, Austin
<v Speaker 1>was walking out a lot at this point, and we'll
<v Speaker 1>walk out more here soon after. I always just thought
<v Speaker 1>it was just because Austin was a fucking wild card.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I ever knew that it was
<v Speaker 1>because they actually didn't know if he was going to
<v Speaker 1>show up the work.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that is nuts.
<v Speaker 6>I mean, like the major one that we talks about
<v Speaker 6>was when he was gonna fight Brock.
<v Speaker 1>And then he just rock whatever. Of course, but this
<v Speaker 1>is like a way before that.
<v Speaker 7>I didn't know he was doing it, way back in March.
<v Speaker 2>Well, he was on Bite This and he did that
<v Speaker 2>in front of about how his creative sucks and I
<v Speaker 2>hate the WWF.
<v Speaker 1>If it's God damn well, i'll see you Monday. I
<v Speaker 1>know you won't take Jay said. The original plans were
<v Speaker 1>also to put the tag title up on Raw and
<v Speaker 1>create some new teams, including the Island Boys, who I
<v Speaker 1>think is Jamal and Rosie originally, as well as talk
<v Speaker 1>of Perry Saturn and Hugh Morris being a team and
<v Speaker 1>the Hardys as contenders. Well, Saturn's on SmackDown now, so
<v Speaker 1>it seems doubtful that Saturn and Hugh Morris will get
<v Speaker 1>any serious push. I just want to put that in
<v Speaker 1>there because I know they'd really disappoint the two of you.
<v Speaker 1>I think I did see Raven and Hugh Morris won
<v Speaker 1>the HWA tag titles and too much celebration, and then
<v Speaker 1>I read that Raven was booking HWA.
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome, that's where they were sending the big show,
<v Speaker 2>and he was eating too much, OBW didn't want him no.
<v Speaker 1>More catering got a good meltzer, says It got so
<v Speaker 1>funny on March twenty fifth that the wrestlers who were
<v Speaker 1>not among the twenty top picked for the draft weren't
<v Speaker 1>told at the show which side they were on, only
<v Speaker 1>clicked into WWF dot com that night to find out.
<v Speaker 1>Several who were driving to Philadelphia ended up having to
<v Speaker 1>call friends after the show to find out where they
<v Speaker 1>were picked, and even that didn't work since WBF servers
<v Speaker 1>were overloaded in the hour that those picks were being revealed.
<v Speaker 2>So no cloud flair, you know, I doubt it.
<v Speaker 1>Why the fuck would they not tell people where they
<v Speaker 1>were going? Did they not know until the Like they
<v Speaker 1>just last second put a list.
<v Speaker 2>I through like a twelve hour production day and like
<v Speaker 2>we just finished raw and just incredible comes up to
<v Speaker 2>me and ask me where.
<v Speaker 1>Am I going. I'm gonna turn the other direction and
<v Speaker 1>just go on, walk on out of here. Well then
<v Speaker 1>you'll walk into Hugh Morris who wants to know where
<v Speaker 1>he's going. Yeah, I'm just gonna run.
<v Speaker 2>Actually I walk, and let me make that a very
<v Speaker 2>fast run.
<v Speaker 1>All of these guys we picked up from East w
<v Speaker 1>and WW, we're super over. You don't want to I
<v Speaker 1>gotta go. Wow.
<v Speaker 2>We drafted all of you guys to the Age w
<v Speaker 2>A oh big show now again, We're not taking nothing.
<v Speaker 1>Nash showed up in Ottawa with Scott Hall several hours late,
<v Speaker 1>and the first thing he did was complain long and
<v Speaker 1>loud about the Rock calling him big Daddy bitch the
<v Speaker 1>night before on RAW that traffic will get you, dude.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you got a lot of time to think.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you've been here for a while and call
<v Speaker 1>hasn't changed one single time. But I hear you. He
<v Speaker 1>didn't make a lot of friends by complaining about the line,
<v Speaker 1>which saw people see him as a cry baby, especially
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of all the times he went against
<v Speaker 1>the script in WCW, especially after showing up late, but
<v Speaker 1>everything ended up smoothly. In his match, they gave him
<v Speaker 1>a spot where he was beating Rock up in the
<v Speaker 1>corner and it was allowed to say to Rock, who's
<v Speaker 1>the bitch now? And Michael Cole even called it on
<v Speaker 1>TV to make sure nobody missed it. But then they
<v Speaker 1>were fine because Nash is smart enough to know that
<v Speaker 1>making an enemy of the Rock isn't in his best
<v Speaker 1>entrance interest.
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, Well, don't worry, Nash, the rock won't be
<v Speaker 2>here for too much longer.
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to get that out of here to go
<v Speaker 1>to a movie. And because just incredible and humorks you've
<v Speaker 1>tried to talk to him. Last couple of things here
<v Speaker 1>from the Observe April eighth, two thousand and two, there
<v Speaker 1>is talk floating around that Jerry Jarrett's new promotion would
<v Speaker 1>have an NWA affiliation, which would enable Jeff to be
<v Speaker 1>the NWA champion. Meltzer says, from an NWA standpoint, that
<v Speaker 1>would be a double coup because Jeff would be a
<v Speaker 1>lot better champion than Dan Severn at this point. Plus,
<v Speaker 1>if the pay per view deal last any length of time,
<v Speaker 1>it could be part of a promotion with pay per
<v Speaker 1>View making them the number two organization and a one
<v Speaker 1>organization country. So I wonder how this NWA Jerry Jarrett
<v Speaker 1>thing turns out, and why is he gonna fucking give
<v Speaker 1>shit to my man Dan Severn here?
<v Speaker 2>Why would they call it NWA Jerry Jarrett Jarrett the
<v Speaker 2>Jarrett names and sharelie son of like, I would.
<v Speaker 7>Assume they just assumed Jeff's going to be champion.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he'll be championed, Jerry Jarrett said, And I mean
<v Speaker 1>Jeff could be a champion. Last thing here that I
<v Speaker 1>was very excited for you to hear about. Someone made
<v Speaker 1>their pro wrestling debut in two thousand and twer here
<v Speaker 1>on March twenty seventh and drew sixteen ndred fans, which
<v Speaker 1>was the largest crowd in the history of Maryland Championship Wrestling.
<v Speaker 1>This man teamed with Gilberg to take on Chad Bowman
<v Speaker 1>and Dino Divine and that man Bobby good Try. That
<v Speaker 1>was close. He is a big tray doesn't too. Probably
<v Speaker 1>was in high school any guess Tony Seude, I have
<v Speaker 1>no brockle. You guys are like super close these This
<v Speaker 1>guy has a lot of the same features and qualities
<v Speaker 1>of these stars that you're you're pointing out here. The man,
<v Speaker 1>the myth, the legend who debuted here. Steve Wilks. Steve
<v Speaker 1>Steve Wilks, the big bald security guard from the Jerry's
<v Speaker 1>Frigga Show. Steve. Come on, they're still called we got
<v Speaker 1>Steve on the indies stunt. Well, that is it for
<v Speaker 1>the world wrestling at the time. Now let's talk about
<v Speaker 1>w WF SmackDown March twenty eighth, two thousand and two.
<v Speaker 2>All right, so we start with the WWF attitude bumper
<v Speaker 2>and then we move into the Beautiful People SmackDown intro.
<v Speaker 1>I mean we've talked about it. We haven't talked about
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two in a minute, so I don't
<v Speaker 1>know how much we've actually been able to talk about
<v Speaker 1>this intro in particular, but fucking fantastic. I mean, shut
<v Speaker 1>your Mouth is a very important game to me, so
<v Speaker 1>this intro, like is maybe my favorite.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I was so nostalgic for this, Like
<v Speaker 2>it's funny. I was thinking as I was watching a
<v Speaker 2>Why am I so like fond of this? It's definitely
<v Speaker 2>the fucking video game.
<v Speaker 1>It has to be.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler welcome
<v Speaker 2>us to the Last SmackDown as we know it. We
<v Speaker 2>are at the First Union Arena in Philly.
<v Speaker 1>So when I was, you know, cognisant enough of going
<v Speaker 1>to shows, like when I was old enough to really
<v Speaker 1>want to go to anything WWF, the First Union Center
<v Speaker 1>was where w W would always run all their shit
<v Speaker 1>and I I I legit only remember the name of
<v Speaker 1>it because everyone would call it the FU Center. That's
<v Speaker 1>how I remember the name. Yeah, that's awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Well we have the Rock Hulk, Hogan and Kane taking
<v Speaker 2>on six Haul and Nash in a six man tag tonight.
<v Speaker 1>Crazy, crazy fucking match. Yeah, so we're I mean, I
<v Speaker 1>guess we're what a month or less removed from US
<v Speaker 1>so many eighteen.
<v Speaker 7>It looks like Rosmano is March seventeenth, so it's like
<v Speaker 7>ten days ago.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, right, okay, yeah that makes sense. Rock's obviously
<v Speaker 1>had his issues with the nWo, Hogan not in the
<v Speaker 1>nWo anymore, and Kane xbox Sohoul's mask. They are forever feuding.
<v Speaker 1>So that's where that is.
<v Speaker 2>Well, the first match of the evening here is Booker
<v Speaker 2>T versus d DP.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a little fucking WF midcard match with some WF
<v Speaker 1>mid carters. I would hate if brock Lesner came out here.
<v Speaker 1>Booker comes out with the Raw name plate because he
<v Speaker 1>was drafted there. So that's fun. They do that throughout
<v Speaker 1>the night where if anyone was drafted to Raw they
<v Speaker 1>get their appropriate nameplate, even though the draft isn't finalized
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. But I'll take it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thought the I thought the name plate at
<v Speaker 2>first was like a fuck up until my brain kicked.
<v Speaker 2>Sure was weird nameplate?
<v Speaker 1>It feels wrong? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I guess they were.
<v Speaker 1>They were playing with that a lot at the time, right,
<v Speaker 1>like the Invasion stuff too, Like they put w SIB
<v Speaker 1>nameplates eventually on just fucking whatever show. They're just doing whatever.
<v Speaker 1>I wish uh. Later on, they should have had a
<v Speaker 1>couple of these guys come out with heat nameplates because
<v Speaker 1>thats where they're gonna end up. Well.
<v Speaker 2>Booker hits the Harlem sidekick early in this one for
<v Speaker 2>a two count. Booker tries to slap on the Irish
<v Speaker 2>whip Sleeper, which must have been a mandate in the
<v Speaker 2>WWE because it happens every single mess tonight.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. Okay, it's so funny because I saw we just
<v Speaker 1>talked about this, but I think it was Piper who
<v Speaker 1>was doing it. Oh yeah, and maybe a couple other
<v Speaker 1>guys at the time. But I was like, I saw
<v Speaker 1>him do it in this match. I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>that's fucking cool, Like nobody really does that anymore, And
<v Speaker 1>then I proceeded to see it every matter.
<v Speaker 2>It felt weird, like it felt like everyone knew we
<v Speaker 2>were in a transition period and you know, let's just
<v Speaker 2>take it easy tonight.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I also think that w W we had a
<v Speaker 1>lot of memos sent out.
<v Speaker 2>I mean we've read it a few different times, you know,
<v Speaker 2>back and forth over these next couple of years, where
<v Speaker 2>they're like, okay, start having worse matches, all right, now
<v Speaker 2>it's time to.
<v Speaker 1>Start with better matches. Yeah, yeah, all right.
<v Speaker 2>Now it's time to get bad again. Why what are
<v Speaker 2>we doing? What we're is always good?
<v Speaker 1>How about that? What are we just always good? Maybe
<v Speaker 1>it's a seasonal thing. Maybe they know that people want
<v Speaker 1>work great in the winter months, but during the summer
<v Speaker 1>they want to be entertained. Is that true? Everybody you
<v Speaker 1>go to Tuesdays, it's not happen on Monday. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 1>we'll work on your rate. All right.
<v Speaker 2>So the SmackDown draft picks come up on the bottom
<v Speaker 2>of the screen, a little ticker. Yeah, and uh, I
<v Speaker 2>mean it's just flying by Big Valbowski was on there for.
<v Speaker 1>Some reason, which is his name? Which I another flashback? Well,
<v Speaker 1>big shows for these you know, not related to the
<v Speaker 1>Big Show that they could have been.
<v Speaker 2>A tag team in Heartland Wrestling.
<v Speaker 1>That sounds correct. Actually Raven's bucking that crazy.
<v Speaker 7>I'm sure they said it there for a miner. They
<v Speaker 7>had to.
<v Speaker 1>Probably that's why where he got the big Valbowski. He
<v Speaker 1>was trying to figure something out to get back up here.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just trying to n versus big show.
<v Speaker 1>DDP hits the Diamond Cutter, but Brock lesnar.
<v Speaker 2>Runs in the ring and stalks DDP before hitting him
<v Speaker 2>with a huge spye.
<v Speaker 1>Paul Haymon's here shouting at it on the apron and
<v Speaker 1>Brock picks them up and hits them with an F five,
<v Speaker 1>where DDP lands on his back. Probably felt like shit.
<v Speaker 2>Well, we have the Kurt Angle town Hall up next.
<v Speaker 2>Kurt Angle comes out here to massive you suck Chance.
<v Speaker 1>Kurt was Vince's number two draft picked the SmackDown, which
<v Speaker 1>is his grievance is that he should not have been
<v Speaker 1>number two. They're laying on this fucking guy that you
<v Speaker 1>suck chance to what chance. There's signs in the crowd,
<v Speaker 1>which like him being a USA Olympic gold medalist and
<v Speaker 1>being able to spell USA out to say you suck
<v Speaker 1>Angle is brutal. Yeah, right, like just a complete home run.
<v Speaker 1>So Kurt says, you know, considering I risked my life
<v Speaker 1>wrestling in the Olympics with a broken freaking neck. For
<v Speaker 1>you people, at least you could do show a little appreciation,
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, you sucked due the crowd. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>the crowd is fucking super pissed. Though I do watch
<v Speaker 1>these back with uncertainty because they were taped and I
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much of the heat was true.
<v Speaker 2>Curashan to ask how the Philly sports are going.
<v Speaker 1>Don't fucking you don't get a fucking ask. But at least,
<v Speaker 1>like ten years later, it's gets a little better, like
<v Speaker 1>there's something to talk about, nothing to talk about that
<v Speaker 1>nothing to talk about now, fucking piece of fucking shit.
<v Speaker 1>So Kurt says, you people are pathetic, almost as pathetic
<v Speaker 1>as what happened last Monday on Raw when Stephanie was
<v Speaker 1>forced to leave the w w F. Kurt wants to
<v Speaker 1>show some fucking respect. He says that you sick, heartless jerks. Stephanie,
<v Speaker 1>if you're watching, don't listen to these people. They're not
<v Speaker 1>your true fans. Show Stephanie some fucking give me some
<v Speaker 1>fucking respect.
<v Speaker 2>I'm the Olympic King, that is my Olympic Princess.
<v Speaker 1>I love her very dearly. So uh the lights go down,
<v Speaker 1>and uh fucking they show a picture of Stephanie just
<v Speaker 1>very sad on the tron that the SATs big yeah dude, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>just super MOPy crowd booze, and Cole says, so much
<v Speaker 1>for the moment, and Lala says, shut up, and Kurt says,
<v Speaker 1>you are sick, harlish jerks, and I'll beat the respect
<v Speaker 1>out of all of you. That's it. It's good time.
<v Speaker 1>Kurt goes out of the ring with the intention to
<v Speaker 1>go fight the fans of Philadelpia.
<v Speaker 7>Dude, he's gonna be everyone up. This is hilarious, Like,
<v Speaker 7>let's go time. I'm out of him.
<v Speaker 1>We beat everyone else. Kurt goes out of the ring
<v Speaker 1>to fight the fans of Philadelphia, but Vince's music hits
<v Speaker 1>and that stops him, which I don't know why that
<v Speaker 1>stopped him. He should have, you know, I would like
<v Speaker 1>to see what happened. I thought at first, they're gonna
<v Speaker 1>have an Olympic slam of plant from that to the
<v Speaker 1>fucking ring side. But so Vince gets in the ring
<v Speaker 1>and says, you desecrate my daughter's name, and when you
<v Speaker 1>do that, that means you desecrate my name and my
<v Speaker 1>name is worth more that all yours can bind show
<v Speaker 1>me some respect. This all wouldn't happen if it wasn't
<v Speaker 1>for that one individual and his name, Triple H. So
<v Speaker 1>he says that he blames one person for any selfish
<v Speaker 1>act that Stephanie ever committed, and that's that's Triple H.
<v Speaker 1>And he's almost happy that Triple H's WF champion because
<v Speaker 1>not only will he be on Raw, he'll be on
<v Speaker 1>my show SmackDown. And he made my daughter's life a
<v Speaker 1>living hell. That's exactly what I'll do to Triple H.
<v Speaker 1>Triple Ah's music hits, big fucking pop for sure, not sweetened.
<v Speaker 1>And he says, is that what you think, Vince? You
<v Speaker 1>think I'm a bad influence, that I'm selfish, that I'm rotten,
<v Speaker 1>that I'm a son of a bitch. Well, let me
<v Speaker 1>set you straight. You ain't seen nothing yet. And Cole says,
<v Speaker 1>oh my, and since you miss your precious daughter so much,
<v Speaker 1>I say, what the hell, Vince, Maybe kurtz Ray, we
<v Speaker 1>should honor Steph in the crowd booze, she deserves it.
<v Speaker 1>Let's honor those last few remaining moments of stephanim Mann
<v Speaker 1>and the WWF. And then they show footage on the
<v Speaker 1>tron where Triple A hits with a spinebuster and pinzer.
<v Speaker 7>I said, crazy spinebuster by the way to give it her.
<v Speaker 1>I mean he gets her up there too. I thought
<v Speaker 1>he was gonna super be nice on the way down.
<v Speaker 1>He was as nice as he could be, I guess,
<v Speaker 1>but uh, you know he can only do so much
<v Speaker 1>and pins her, beats her there and then poses uh
<v Speaker 1>with the both titles wither foot on her, which is
<v Speaker 1>funny as shit. Uh crazy fucking look.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, security comes in pulls her out of the ring
<v Speaker 2>by her feet. One of the guys in Stoke called
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin.
<v Speaker 1>He came to work for that. That was Steve the
<v Speaker 1>Mcgilbert Steve the two security guards with Gilbert. Yeah, dude,
<v Speaker 1>I mean she's holding on the ring poster, trying to
<v Speaker 1>drag her off the fucking thing. And uh they finally
<v Speaker 1>kick her out of the building to the non and
<v Speaker 1>on nah non and on nah, hey, hey hey goodbye.
<v Speaker 1>Song hurts fucking pissy, he said, that's I've had. I've had.
<v Speaker 1>I want to match that big ape tonight. I don't
<v Speaker 1>even care if the belts are on the line. I
<v Speaker 1>want to show him some manners. Please give me a
<v Speaker 1>match with that son of a bitch. He's even cot said,
<v Speaker 1>whoa Jesus I want to give I want to show
<v Speaker 1>him some manners that some of a bitch is awesome. Kurtz,
<v Speaker 1>It's always been fucking just fantastic, hasn't he.
<v Speaker 2>He has been, Yeah, I mean for a long time.
<v Speaker 2>His ability to just sound real, like we mentioned before,
<v Speaker 2>but he's very earnest in his delivery. Even if he
<v Speaker 2>doesn't believe it at all, it doesn't matter because like
<v Speaker 2>it seems like he does. You know, he's just very
<v Speaker 2>He's a good worker.
<v Speaker 1>So Vince says, under normal circumstances, I'd be happy to oblige,
<v Speaker 1>but quite frankly, I want some of that rotten in
<v Speaker 1>great man myself and Triple itches all. Let me get
<v Speaker 1>this straight. The two of you want to shot at me,
<v Speaker 1>either one of you, it doesn't matter to me as
<v Speaker 1>far as I'm concerned. Game on, which was this big
<v Speaker 1>catphrase at the time. Hell yeah, Well, Vin says, it's
<v Speaker 1>not exactly going to be like that. There's gonna be
<v Speaker 1>the game's gonna be on, but it's going to be
<v Speaker 1>you against kra Angle and Vince McMahon in a handicap
<v Speaker 1>match tonight. Wooo oh shit, Rick Flair is here. He
<v Speaker 1>comes out and he's fired the funk up. Hey McMahon,
<v Speaker 1>Hey viz mgmah it comes on, DAPs up t bleach,
<v Speaker 1>come on? What a mgmun? Did I hear you making
<v Speaker 1>the rules again tonight. I'm still fifty percent, whether you
<v Speaker 1>like it or not.
<v Speaker 2>I was.
<v Speaker 1>I took my second was like fifty percent. I'll owner, okay,
<v Speaker 1>ear the ear we're partners.
<v Speaker 2>What's funny about this too, is uh my vision of
<v Speaker 2>what this should have been, which was Ric Flair coming
<v Speaker 2>out with spiky hair and a T shirt in the
<v Speaker 2>trunks and.
<v Speaker 1>You think that as his it shrugging about the tire
<v Speaker 1>b because of the prom dude, I mean GM consortium
<v Speaker 1>rig Flair with spiky air would have been. That would
<v Speaker 1>have been so good. I mean if he if mis
<v Speaker 1>gimmick because he was only ever living the last episode
<v Speaker 1>of Nitro for a year, that would have been fucking great.
<v Speaker 1>He's he's say, Douglas, oh he's not here. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Flair comes to the WWF and like he looks great here, man, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he looks really good and he's still down to work yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I remember reading that he had like lost his smile.
<v Speaker 2>I guess yeah for a minute when he came to
<v Speaker 2>the WWF, but like Triple H helped him find it again.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which is pretty cool. And I think there is
<v Speaker 1>something I'll jump ahead just a bit here just because
<v Speaker 1>we bring it up. I think it might have been
<v Speaker 1>after this show that Triple H like had it's either
<v Speaker 1>something during the week here is either this one or
<v Speaker 1>the raw or something like that. Or Triple H like
<v Speaker 1>had Flair stay in the ring and he put him
<v Speaker 1>over huge and talked about his influence on him and
<v Speaker 1>the business, and Flair was like, you know, get in
<v Speaker 1>an emotion all about it, and the crowd was fucking
<v Speaker 1>super fired up. So I think like that lends to
<v Speaker 1>what you were talking about. Whar Flair just was kind
<v Speaker 1>of down on himself and what his maybe what his
<v Speaker 1>legacy would be, I think is kind of what the
<v Speaker 1>story was that he didn't know, like you know, what
<v Speaker 1>he does now, what his career will look like, the
<v Speaker 1>people in ten years, YadA, YadA, YadA.
<v Speaker 2>But uh well, I mean the wwfron Yeah, it does
<v Speaker 2>a lot of rehabbing. I mean, because it could have
<v Speaker 2>been the last thing you see from him is the
<v Speaker 2>spucky hair shirts, trunks.
<v Speaker 1>He would have shown him an n W A Jerry
<v Speaker 1>Jared and fine, this is a donkey's ass. He want there.
<v Speaker 1>You know what now thinking we got robbed? You know
<v Speaker 1>what in the shirt w a black shirt with blue trugs?
<v Speaker 1>Is that? Manoue? Is that that can't be? What's they got?
<v Speaker 1>They got? We got that title off a Dan seven?
<v Speaker 2>Is that a miss?
<v Speaker 1>As? Come on? Almost forgot the word my son? A
<v Speaker 1>miss from Puerto Rico. Hey, man, Drake Blair, your dad,
<v Speaker 1>I know that's not you. Glynn clink your birdie? Is
<v Speaker 1>that you? You're fired? Man, You're fired? Holy ship man, Wow,
<v Speaker 1>have been awesome. Fuck Yeah, I'm blaming Triple H for
<v Speaker 1>that one. Thanks a lot, buddy. Yeah. Also yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>mean that's.
<v Speaker 2>So.
<v Speaker 1>Flaire says, it's not gonna be a handicapped Madge Triple H,
<v Speaker 1>the world champion is gonna have a partner tonight. We're partner.
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm fifty percent good, So I'm fifty percent
<v Speaker 1>of this dude tonight.
<v Speaker 5>Woo.
<v Speaker 1>And he says, since it's my last SmackDown and he's
<v Speaker 1>getting fired up, he's standing there kind of twitching. You
<v Speaker 1>see it, he needs to take that jacket off. Stat
<v Speaker 1>The jacket comes off, he throws it down, he starts
<v Speaker 1>fucking dancing. What I was, well, Jeffian, I used to
<v Speaker 1>party here, oh no long, and I think tonight it
<v Speaker 1>should be triple H whoo and the Nature Boy side
<v Speaker 1>by side and Vince's eyes start bugging out. And do
<v Speaker 1>me one favor. I promise you. I'll put everything I
<v Speaker 1>happen to be in right beside you. You keep angle
<v Speaker 1>off me so I can kick this son of my
<v Speaker 1>bitch's ass. You you woo you you get my hands
<v Speaker 1>on you?
<v Speaker 4>Man?
<v Speaker 1>Did I mention I used to party here all night?
<v Speaker 1>I mean you and WU five hundred times funny as fuck?
<v Speaker 2>They do the events face zoom a lot here, which.
<v Speaker 1>Was fain to Yeah. I mean his facial reactions are
<v Speaker 1>always fittast. They could Triple H and Flair shake hands,
<v Speaker 1>and we have ourselves a match which I didn't know
<v Speaker 1>is the main event until I saw the six man
<v Speaker 1>was not the main event, and then I put it together.
<v Speaker 1>So we go backstage.
<v Speaker 2>The Dudley Boys are back here, and Devon asked Bubba
<v Speaker 2>if he's ready.
<v Speaker 1>You want me to be a reverend, Yeah, you want
<v Speaker 1>to be a bully? No, but like revisit this in
<v Speaker 1>like ten years and maybe I might want to do that.
<v Speaker 1>What was that promotion Rick Flair was talking about, we
<v Speaker 1>should end our career there, we should walk in brawl
<v Speaker 1>there for fifteen years. Oh he fucking shit. So yeah,
<v Speaker 1>he says, you're ready, and Bubba says yeah, and Devon says,
<v Speaker 1>it all comes down to this. If we beat Billions
<v Speaker 1>Chuck to Night, not only do become tag champs, but
<v Speaker 1>we also get to stay together as a team. And
<v Speaker 1>if we don't, and you go your way with your
<v Speaker 1>career and I go mine, And this is gonna be
<v Speaker 1>the last tag team match of the Dudley Boys. I've
<v Speaker 1>been hearing that for a long time. It feels like
<v Speaker 1>I just heard that, like a few weeks ago. Bubba says,
<v Speaker 1>you're right. So I say we go out there and
<v Speaker 1>make history just one last time. Been a hell of
<v Speaker 1>a run I've had to and it should What better
<v Speaker 1>place than this city right here, the city that the
<v Speaker 1>Dudley Boys were born in. They should have had all
<v Speaker 1>the Dudley's here for this one, Like, yeah, oh there
<v Speaker 1>is here, and James, I'm sure you like this one.
<v Speaker 1>They said, they've been w CW Tag Champs, which I
<v Speaker 1>know you're a big fan of run right, yeah, okay, buddy,
<v Speaker 1>sure right. Oh I'm sorry, I must have because the
<v Speaker 1>record book show, you know, the w c W Tag Champs,
<v Speaker 1>Dudley's of course, Rock, WCW World Champion, Sure canaan Undertaker,
<v Speaker 1>also WSW Tag champs. Just the record books. Sadly we're closed.
<v Speaker 2>Uh got wrestlers saw about a year ago when wrestling ended.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, they're not lying on the show, right.
<v Speaker 2>No, wrestling never lies, which is one of its better qualities.
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the dead commandments, never lie in wrestling.
<v Speaker 1>And now said out fun with the Dudley's that's the
<v Speaker 1>last one, and also testified thank you. He said, we've
<v Speaker 1>been w S TO Tag Champions for one hundred percent
<v Speaker 1>fact more important than any of the other ones. We've
<v Speaker 1>been eight times today. They stopped looking at the cameras
<v Speaker 1>to make it clear. Uh, we were, and we have
<v Speaker 1>a picture with the belts we actually have at the house.
<v Speaker 1>They gave it to it. We're the last one. Sorry,
<v Speaker 1>eight time, he said, to be tag champs, six times,
<v Speaker 1>w F Tag Champs. Probably when the n w a
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jared Tuttle sometime and no one could take that
<v Speaker 1>away from us. And we go out there to night
<v Speaker 1>and we take Billion Chuck to the extreme.
<v Speaker 2>All right, so we have Billion Chuck with Rico versus
<v Speaker 2>the Dudley Boys. Well, it does a SmackDown nameplate for
<v Speaker 2>Devon and a raw plate for Bubba because this team
<v Speaker 2>is breaking.
<v Speaker 1>Up unless they could save it. They could.
<v Speaker 2>Camera guy gets the camera placing right for all of
<v Speaker 2>these nameplates. Shout out the camera guys here.
<v Speaker 1>I noticed it. When Hogan comes out the having a
<v Speaker 1>pan to the side for the oh yeah, impressed. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Bubba and Chuck start things off here.
<v Speaker 2>Chuck uses a closed fist like an asshole and then
<v Speaker 2>kicks down Bubba in the corner.
<v Speaker 1>Chuck goes to argue with the rest.
<v Speaker 2>Bubba should just stopped, Okay, okay, like obviously we're gonna
<v Speaker 2>get there.
<v Speaker 1>Like, don't you fucking under how long have we been
<v Speaker 1>doing this? We gonna We're gonna get the tables. Jill
<v Speaker 1>the fuck out. Well, Bubba hits a dry hoop kick
<v Speaker 1>for two. Why what are you doing? Just trying to
<v Speaker 1>fucking show off for a singles run? Don't do that?
<v Speaker 1>Get that shit out of here.
<v Speaker 2>Devon and Billy come in, and Devon hits a hip
<v Speaker 2>toss into a flying shoulder tackle and a neck breaker
<v Speaker 2>for a two on Billy. Uh. Devon and Billy have
<v Speaker 2>a midair collision for a double down.
<v Speaker 1>The fuck was that? Was it supposed to be? They
<v Speaker 1>both liked the spot where they both grab each other's
<v Speaker 1>heads and fall down, except they missed double hair pool.
<v Speaker 1>But fun doesn't happen in midair. I'll shoot, well, we
<v Speaker 1>do double tags.
<v Speaker 2>Bubba comes in, hits two lines of back body drop,
<v Speaker 2>a vertical suplex, and a DDT.
<v Speaker 1>The DDT definitely, which felt like he was annoyed at
<v Speaker 1>how long he was taking to get there, so he
<v Speaker 1>just dropped Chuck on his head.
<v Speaker 2>Well, Chuck accidentally hits Billy with an elbow drop, and
<v Speaker 2>Bubba hits the Bubba bomb for two. Bubba and Devon
<v Speaker 2>do a double flap jack in the crowd yells three D.
<v Speaker 1>They were so wanting the three D that anything else
<v Speaker 1>was like three D.
<v Speaker 7>Oh, all right, dude, it doesn't work like that double
<v Speaker 7>flapped They tell you close to three D.
<v Speaker 2>I mean they had to do something with this team
<v Speaker 2>at this point. I mean this crowd just doesn't give
<v Speaker 2>a fucking ship. Do the three d get the table?
<v Speaker 2>Call it over ship, Rico distracts the ref and Devon
<v Speaker 2>chases them out. Man, that was egregious. You know, like
<v Speaker 2>you can stay as a tag team if you win
<v Speaker 2>the match year.
<v Speaker 1>I mean they've been teaming for years and years and years.
<v Speaker 1>You can't be that pissed a Rica. I bet you
<v Speaker 1>could count on one hand the amount of times that
<v Speaker 1>Devon got so mad at a manager that they full
<v Speaker 1>chase them not only up the ramp but to the back.
<v Speaker 2>So Rico distracts the ref. Like I said, Devon chases
<v Speaker 2>him out, Bubba is left in the ring, Billy hits
<v Speaker 2>the famouser, and Chuck gets the three I.
<v Speaker 1>Swore that was gonna be a false because fuck the famous, Like,
<v Speaker 1>you don't hit this dude with the tag title at
<v Speaker 1>least but one only that I was gonna say they
<v Speaker 1>should hit them with the tag belt. But there is
<v Speaker 1>a title hit finish in the other part of the show,
<v Speaker 1>so that was probably its and aid.
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's also a ton of Irish whip sleepers than every.
<v Speaker 1>Match too, but it don't matter for that one.
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember, no, it also didn't have one, surprisingly,
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, just it made the Dudley Boys look super
<v Speaker 2>fucking dumb. Yeah yeah, so, I mean, if they're gonna
<v Speaker 2>split these guys, at least, you know, let.
<v Speaker 1>Them go out on a good match. Come on, they
<v Speaker 1>got all their shit in after.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just, I mean, you really couldn't have made these
<v Speaker 2>guys look any dumber if you tried.
<v Speaker 1>It was pretty bad.
<v Speaker 2>Devon leaving and just ruining, like their chances of staying
<v Speaker 2>as a team didn't make any fucking sense. Devon has
<v Speaker 2>never once in the WWF anyways. In e c W,
<v Speaker 2>Bubba and Devon were pretty dumb, like that was kind
<v Speaker 2>of thing.
<v Speaker 1>They were very dumb. But in WWF they're just kind
<v Speaker 1>of dudes that like tables. Why is Devon leaving? Dude?
<v Speaker 1>They would just talked about. They have an unreal amount
<v Speaker 1>of tag runs including w CW. Come on, you gotta
<v Speaker 1>give these guys something, give them the Nasty Boys. Dudley
<v Speaker 1>Boys versus the Nasty Boys looked much better. They got
<v Speaker 1>their asses whooped. I know that the heels and there
<v Speaker 1>like little shitters, but like, damn.
<v Speaker 2>How fucking funny would that have been Dudley's and Nasty
<v Speaker 2>boys in the ring.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, random SmackDown.
<v Speaker 2>Nasty boys just come in and they just fucking stiff
<v Speaker 2>each other for eight minutes. Yeah, and then they put
<v Speaker 2>fucking Jerry SAgs to the table the long way?
<v Speaker 8>Right?
<v Speaker 1>Do they do up to Brian Knobs and they sell
<v Speaker 1>it because he spells like ship they do it the
<v Speaker 1>other way into his asshole.
<v Speaker 2>So Billy chokes Baba in the cright, but Devine comes in.
<v Speaker 1>Where was he for the finish dude? He comes in
<v Speaker 1>like a bat of the hell running down the ramp. Hey, man,
<v Speaker 1>you didn't like your brain is fucked up? Isn't? It's
<v Speaker 1>not even angry. I would have been angry. What the
<v Speaker 1>fuck I mean? Billy's pushing his head into the second
<v Speaker 1>turnbucle I don't know what this is even supposed to do. Well.
<v Speaker 2>The Dudis start fighting back and then they hit Chuck
<v Speaker 2>with a three D. Michael Call says, perhaps for the
<v Speaker 2>final time.
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps not Cole, You'll have to realize it actually never
<v Speaker 1>is going to be the final time, even when you
<v Speaker 1>think it is.
<v Speaker 2>So the Dudley's hit why up Billy Chuck, and Bill
<v Speaker 2>Bubba tells Devon to get the tables. No countdown that's awesome,
<v Speaker 2>love that hate the countdown.
<v Speaker 1>And the Dulies hit Billy with a three D through
<v Speaker 1>the table. Did Bubba have? He was like a shiner
<v Speaker 1>and his eye is full of blood? What the fuck
<v Speaker 1>was that from?
<v Speaker 2>It'd be crazy feels from where he choked him in
<v Speaker 2>the corner.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I like if he was super roughing him up
<v Speaker 1>or something, but like I don't, I couldn't figure it out.
<v Speaker 6>Nobody had a black eye a little bit in the
<v Speaker 6>backstage segment, but like, uh, you're never being super red
<v Speaker 6>like that.
<v Speaker 7>They zooming on it like yes.
<v Speaker 1>It's I Yeah. So Bubba and Devon and hug and
<v Speaker 1>raise each other's arms and Lawler says, no, no, no, no.
<v Speaker 1>So we go backstage.
<v Speaker 2>The APA is here in their office, smoking penises and
<v Speaker 2>drinking butt heavies and they share some memories with each.
<v Speaker 1>Other, well card game, and Fruke says, card games just
<v Speaker 1>don't seem the same, han right, Charles says, they sure don't.
<v Speaker 1>All this time we've been together, golly, he says, golly,
<v Speaker 1>we've we've tragged together, rode together, we fought together, and
<v Speaker 1>Fruke says, yeah, you know, like that time up and
<v Speaker 1>Red Deer where those guys sure kicking our ass. I
<v Speaker 1>had your back on you had mine and whatever you
<v Speaker 1>say never, and Fruk says, you know, it all comes
<v Speaker 1>down to what a lottery? And Rachel says the names
<v Speaker 1>out of a hat because McMahon Flair just can't get along.
<v Speaker 1>Now you go to smack down and I got a
<v Speaker 1>raw and a PA is gonna close because of this.
<v Speaker 1>Fruk says, you always be here though, man, he has
<v Speaker 1>his chest like a brother. And Rachel says, you know,
<v Speaker 1>we came in drink a beer. We got one night left.
<v Speaker 1>Last call hey Jerry right there. I swear, I swear
<v Speaker 1>I thought to Jerry was gonna come in with like
<v Speaker 1>a case of fucking bud lights. It's like, hey, did
<v Speaker 1>Jerry come here? And Freak says, hey, Tory, you get
<v Speaker 1>in here too, and Brenchell says, we got a big
<v Speaker 1>party tonight. You go tell everybody beer a pa, last
<v Speaker 1>party and to Jerry agrees he's gonna go get the
<v Speaker 1>beer for the boys and he goes leave with Torri,
<v Speaker 1>but Brencheall says, no, no, she can stay and play naked,
<v Speaker 1>I mean play cards. Don't worry about her. Fruks is gone,
<v Speaker 1>take your time and you sit down, honey. And Bradshall
<v Speaker 1>tells Tory, he said, you're not good at cards, are you?
<v Speaker 1>That's great. We play a game called strip poker and
<v Speaker 1>Fruk reaches behind him and pull opens a of one
<v Speaker 1>of the filing cabinets and pulls out of beer and
<v Speaker 1>gets it. Brod just said, you don't mind, Dean. Tori says,
<v Speaker 1>not at all. So we got the final beer party
<v Speaker 1>for the APA. I mean, I love this. I love
<v Speaker 1>this team. Breaking up all these teams like this is
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's obviously interesting, right, but looking back at
<v Speaker 1>it's like, damn like APA were fucking sick. Yeah really,
<v Speaker 1>but I mean it kind of had to happen worked
<v Speaker 1>out great for one of them. So we go backstage.
<v Speaker 2>Matt Hardy is here with Lida talking to Lily and Garcia,
<v Speaker 2>and uh, I gotta say, it just seemed like Matt
<v Speaker 2>Hardy and Leda were like rolling off some shit or something.
<v Speaker 1>They were. This whole thing felt fucked up. Lilian says, Lda,
<v Speaker 1>congrats on being drafted on Monday. The whole vibe on
<v Speaker 1>this whole show is just really weird. It felt like
<v Speaker 1>a pilot to like we're going through rehearsals here. The
<v Speaker 1>real show will be another day. Yeah. She congratulates Leader
<v Speaker 1>for being drafted. The fuck are you talking about? Why
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't she have been like just incredible? Was draft was drafted,
<v Speaker 1>and Mac congrats on ending up on the show with
<v Speaker 1>Leda and Lida says, the whole night was so crazy.
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's on the other seat. And then the b Flair's
<v Speaker 1>tenth draft pick. It was a relief, and Matt says
<v Speaker 1>last week was by far the toughest week of my life. Well,
<v Speaker 1>that sucks. It's a terrible thing to not future lives.
<v Speaker 1>It's good to know that our fate is in our
<v Speaker 1>hands and myself, Leda and Jeff are all together and
<v Speaker 1>t mxtream was once again a unit in the WWF.
<v Speaker 1>So Jericho walks up by the way and says, what
<v Speaker 1>are you too so happy about? And who cares? Anyway?
<v Speaker 1>You're making me sick? What the fuck is going on here?
<v Speaker 1>He just interrupts and just has a completely unrelated segment.
<v Speaker 1>Congrats will be on a raw. I'm on SmackDown and
<v Speaker 1>I hate this shit because I should be under champion. Sucks, man,
<v Speaker 1>I do just for the birds, And do you realize
<v Speaker 1>since wrestling any the only rematch I received for the
<v Speaker 1>undispeeded title is against Triple H and Stephanie. Rematch is
<v Speaker 1>that I'm a larger than life living legend. Damn it,
<v Speaker 1>I'm a tunnel around my gorgeous waist. I will never
<v Speaker 1>be happy about anything ever again.
<v Speaker 2>He was so good at putting together I mean, just nothing.
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was just just saying ship all the time,
<v Speaker 2>like this was.
<v Speaker 1>So like this was legit, a fucking just a use
<v Speaker 1>case to make Matt Hardy versus Jericho ship, Like there
<v Speaker 1>was nothing bringing these two together other than Jericho being annoying.
<v Speaker 1>And then Matt saying your has been that I hate smash,
<v Speaker 1>I hate this ship, and I should be understand a champion.
<v Speaker 1>I'm the best ever I hate damn it. Matt says,
<v Speaker 1>you know I can sympathize with you, Chris Jericho. He
<v Speaker 1>says that with you, Chris Jericho, this is fucking shut
<v Speaker 1>your mouth, cut seed. Nobody wants to be a has been.
<v Speaker 1>And then they walk away, so he fucking gets paid
<v Speaker 1>and he jumps Matt from behind, callsing him to bump
<v Speaker 1>in the leadle and they both fall and he looks
<v Speaker 1>him and says I am not and uh, that's not
<v Speaker 1>the last we see these two three, I guess. So
<v Speaker 1>we go backstage.
<v Speaker 2>Hulk Hogan is here and The Rock comes in and
<v Speaker 2>slaps him on the back and says, hey, we have
<v Speaker 2>to do his segment that everyone will remember.
<v Speaker 1>This is going to be the best thing for SmackDown
<v Speaker 1>and the worst thing for Kane. Are you ready? Are
<v Speaker 1>you ready to bury this guy? Oh? Oh yeah, dude,
<v Speaker 1>I've been waiting a long time. I haven't been able
<v Speaker 1>to bury anybody since I Gude, But tonight I give Kan.
<v Speaker 1>It was really like to be a w CW with
<v Speaker 1>the wood bastard. So Hogan's still in his nWo gear.
<v Speaker 1>He's not in the nWo anymore, but I assume they're
<v Speaker 1>waiting for the Red and Yellow pop at another point.
<v Speaker 1>Sure yeah, and Rock walks in and says holk Sta
<v Speaker 1>and hoggs, what's up? My brother? Rock says, the night's
<v Speaker 1>to night, the very last night. You and the Rock
<v Speaker 1>have a shot at the nWo. We were drafted on SmackDown,
<v Speaker 1>they were drafting the Raw, and tonight it's our last shot.
<v Speaker 1>Whoop their candy asses, you know, brother, I just want
<v Speaker 1>these guys as bad as you do. But it's not
<v Speaker 1>just you and me tonight. We've got a partner, Steve. Steve,
<v Speaker 1>that's right, dude, you mean Glenn, you mean fucking Hoggs says,
<v Speaker 1>I've been in the ring with a lot of big
<v Speaker 1>scary dudes, but this guy's scary than all the rest,
<v Speaker 1>and Rock says, yeah, he's one big scary can he is.
<v Speaker 1>He's one big red ass kicking machine. So Rock turns
<v Speaker 1>aside and says, oh, here he comes. Now. Kane walks
<v Speaker 1>in and he gets closer than the rock pantomime's telling
<v Speaker 1>Rocane to not get so close. Rock says, let me
<v Speaker 1>let the Rock ask you something. You ready to go
<v Speaker 1>out there? And whoop ass? You reread to go out there?
<v Speaker 1>And whoop candy she's delivery there.
<v Speaker 2>It was so funny, You ready to go out there?
<v Speaker 2>Whoop some ass, whoop some candy ass?
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready? Are you ready? That's the only key voice
<v Speaker 1>I got? Sorry, guys, what's that brother? That dude? Oh
<v Speaker 1>he's got a fucking horrific family fire. Let me tell
<v Speaker 1>you something that to get around me, dude, And I'm
<v Speaker 1>not going out there? Are you mocking my voice? Dude? Wait, no,
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, didn't your brother he got me? Brother, brother.
<v Speaker 1>I can't judge you, dude, I can't trudge you were
<v Speaker 1>your family, dude. I'm not going out there tonight. Brother.
<v Speaker 1>Your dad too, he's my half dad, half dad. Dude.
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was only a half brother, dude, Robbie
<v Speaker 1>and dad to night, Brother Hogan will be your dad, dude.
<v Speaker 1>I already faced the dungeon a dum brother, I'm not
<v Speaker 1>dealing with this ship anymore. This guy is so green, brother,
<v Speaker 1>he should be wearing green, dude. No, they told me
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't we try not. Sean didn't want me to
<v Speaker 1>do it. Six Oh my goods, fucking gold dust this yes,
<v Speaker 1>think of any Kennedy have a tactic chap so Kane
<v Speaker 1>says I'm ready? Are you ready? And Rock says, you
<v Speaker 1>bet your ass. It doesn't matter if you're ready. Kane
<v Speaker 1>is talking regular, by the way, I don't have a
<v Speaker 1>keen regular voice.
<v Speaker 7>This is how I that's just swarm Boy says no, yeah,
<v Speaker 7>I'm ready.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's just regularly, which sucks. I'm ready. Are you ready?
<v Speaker 1>You bet your It doesn't matter if you're ready, Kane says,
<v Speaker 1>because to night, the Rocky Cane team with Hault Cogan,
<v Speaker 1>and you know something, Brothers, whether it's millions and millions
<v Speaker 1>of Rocks fans or twenty thousand Hall Camaniacs or twenty
<v Speaker 1>thousand screaming Canaanites Canaan Nights, the question is, brothers, what
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna do, Scott Hall, Kevin dash x Buck, what
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna do with hul Cogan and the Rock and
<v Speaker 1>the Big Red Machine Ron Wild on you and Caine
<v Speaker 1>then starts pont spamming doing all of Hogan's ship, and
<v Speaker 1>it is I mean, this is funny as fuck.
<v Speaker 2>You know what's really funny is that the Rock mouths Canaanites,
<v Speaker 2>as Jerry Lawler says Canaan Knights commentary, so it looks.
<v Speaker 1>Like Rock is saying it. It's a ventriloquiz Canaan Knights.
<v Speaker 1>The Kane leases I'll see you guys out there. The
<v Speaker 1>Rock is stunned, I'll see you guys out there. He
<v Speaker 1>just walks out. I mean that changed everything.
<v Speaker 2>I mean like this is one of the most for
<v Speaker 2>better or for worse, memorable moments and uh in SmackDown history.
<v Speaker 1>For sure, Kane's career is never the same. What you
<v Speaker 1>mean he shocks shame and Man's ball to the car battery,
<v Speaker 1>shocks Kane's balls with the card batteries. Why did why
<v Speaker 1>did Shane business pants? You guys shocked in the ball?
<v Speaker 1>It just releases the is. Oh yeah, okay, sure Canaanites
<v Speaker 1>last for a while.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean there's twenty thousand screaming Canaan Knights.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, not dubbed for sure.
<v Speaker 2>No, there's only twenty thousand whole Comaniacs.
<v Speaker 1>They're very docile. It's an equal amount to Canaanites are
<v Speaker 1>just more passionate. Dude, I'm surprised Hogan and say we
<v Speaker 1>had to retape that. You're trying to tell me, dude,
<v Speaker 1>there's millions of Rocks fans and only twenty thousand, like
<v Speaker 1>all vot. You gotta be fucking kidding me, jerro Brother,
<v Speaker 1>I highly doubt there're twenty thousands. We gotta redo this.
<v Speaker 1>We need more numbers here.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I mean one of the most memorable moments
<v Speaker 2>of SmackDown history right there.
<v Speaker 1>It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Yeah, SmackDown is brought to
<v Speaker 1>you by Tobacco. Is wacko only if you're a teen? Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>if you're an adult or a child. Shit's fine between
<v Speaker 1>the ages of zero and nine and twenty in Forever
<v Speaker 1>smoke all you want in your pure teen years. Don't
<v Speaker 1>do tobacco please, thank you Stacker too. Do that whenever
<v Speaker 1>you want. Don't wait the matter, get on it, stat
<v Speaker 1>and Hungry Man by Swanson not for children or teens
<v Speaker 1>men only, dude. The NW music hits and it distorts
<v Speaker 1>the Hungry Man.
<v Speaker 7>Dude, I don't know that end to be a hunger
<v Speaker 7>Ban mule.
<v Speaker 1>That is so fucking funny. Take it over. So we
<v Speaker 1>have Hulcoke in the rock and Caine versus six Haul
<v Speaker 1>and Nash Xpot comes out with the nunchucks because that
<v Speaker 1>was that was just what he was doing. They didn't
<v Speaker 1>really explain why he just did it, and that's fine
<v Speaker 1>with me.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I've ever read any reason why
<v Speaker 2>he was doing it. I never even questioned it until now. Actually,
<v Speaker 2>I just always said, yep, there's xpox with the nunchucks.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think he just needs like they just wanted
<v Speaker 1>to give him a weapon, like, and he had a
<v Speaker 1>makeup make him look like because he always did kicks.
<v Speaker 1>So they're like, wow, you must have yeah, martial arts background, right,
<v Speaker 1>so I just use a martial arts weapon. We saw
<v Speaker 1>the martial arts weapon in WCW. So here's a list
<v Speaker 1>of them. Pick one.
<v Speaker 2>I will say this with the Rocks song here, adding
<v Speaker 2>in the little drum kit to the beginning, to change
<v Speaker 2>this song forever.
<v Speaker 1>If you'll smell what the rock didn't didn't is cooking bound.
<v Speaker 1>I mean as hard as fuck it is. Fuck it
<v Speaker 1>changed that song forever.
<v Speaker 2>When I think about that song, I can't think of
<v Speaker 2>it anymore without the that's the top guy, Yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>mean the crowd went ape shit for this guy too.
<v Speaker 1>Super over. Well, this is the Rock show, and the
<v Speaker 1>rock wants to walk tall out of this company and
<v Speaker 1>make another movie very soon. Now, Austin and Rock, you
<v Speaker 1>both can't go.
<v Speaker 2>The Rocket Xbox start off here doing international rock with
<v Speaker 2>two big arm drags. Xbox tries to fire back, but
<v Speaker 2>rockets an overhead belly to belly for a too.
<v Speaker 1>He throws that motherfucker.
<v Speaker 2>I'm told here on commentary that Texas and Illinois live
<v Speaker 2>events have been canceled.
<v Speaker 1>This is true, yeah, which I think these may have
<v Speaker 1>been either both respecting ones or it was just a rossmack.
<v Speaker 1>The ones and it seems they were both because of
<v Speaker 1>the advance was poor. So for the Huntsville one part
<v Speaker 1>of the problem is that Huntsville is about an hour
<v Speaker 1>away from College Station, which is where RAB will be
<v Speaker 1>doing TV the same night, and then SmackDown Team will
<v Speaker 1>instead of be running in the Van Erics hometown of Denton, Texas.
<v Speaker 1>So it was just they're saying it was an inconvenient
<v Speaker 1>place to do it and it wasn't selling well, so
<v Speaker 1>they canceled it. You don't hear that very often, No,
<v Speaker 1>And that's fucking crazy. I actually don't know how much
<v Speaker 1>I've ever heard that on wf ever that they just
<v Speaker 1>announced on the show. Ah, we're just these shows are
<v Speaker 1>not happening. Sorry, So I had to fucking change, right.
<v Speaker 1>That's not fucking good.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I imagine that's why they made some sweeping changes.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think business was doing too hot at the.
<v Speaker 1>Time, couldn't a bit. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Hall comes in, throws the toothpick at the rock and
<v Speaker 2>does the spooky fingers in the corner his ass.
<v Speaker 1>Whoo, dude, I loved it.
<v Speaker 2>He does the fingerta it Rock turns him around immediately
<v Speaker 2>and just starts beating his shit out.
<v Speaker 1>Heah whales on him. Hall looks good here, though, I
<v Speaker 1>will say, I mean, I know he doesn't. He's not
<v Speaker 1>long for the WF Sadly, he looked good and I
<v Speaker 1>always enjoy watching him work. Yeah, me too, Yeah, I agree.
<v Speaker 1>It was uh. I mean, he's just really in there
<v Speaker 1>selling and I am yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, I'm which is funny because you
<v Speaker 1>think they'd say, ah, the kid's gonna sell for us tonight,
<v Speaker 1>We'll just fucking come in. But All's taking his ass whooping.
<v Speaker 2>Scott Hall hits the fallaway slam here on the Rock
<v Speaker 2>for two and tags in the Big Man.
<v Speaker 1>Which is funny because Rock of course hit the ropes
<v Speaker 1>and went for his patent it go for the cross body,
<v Speaker 1>which Rocky my Villa took over for a minute. He
<v Speaker 1>felt like a young boy against Hall and went for
<v Speaker 1>it again. That's fucking funny.
<v Speaker 2>Nash takes Rock to the corner, hits some knee lifts,
<v Speaker 2>hits the elbows, measures them.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Nash tries to measure one up, tells the Rock to
<v Speaker 2>suck it, but then Rock starts firing.
<v Speaker 1>Back stop pawning at the Rock.
<v Speaker 2>Nash shuts it down with a knee and then tags
<v Speaker 2>back out to Scott Hall here. I love that Rock
<v Speaker 2>was always fighting back hmm.
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's if the crowd's going to rally behind
<v Speaker 1>anybody to fuck it, like, get behind, I'm the fight.
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be the Rock.
<v Speaker 2>The Rocks punch is made for a good fighting back
<v Speaker 2>sequence every time too. Yeah, they were you slapping the
<v Speaker 2>shit out of the sequence.
<v Speaker 1>Actually with Hal and Rock was fantastic because it's two
<v Speaker 1>dudes fucking slap at each other.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they do a quick strike exchange here before Scott
<v Speaker 2>Hall pokes the eyes.
<v Speaker 1>Bastard. Just dude. Never lost it, no, no, never, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>and thankfully Jerry Jarrett has a fed for him here.
<v Speaker 2>Soon he should come in with a strip club shirt
<v Speaker 2>on matherles me. Rock hits a spinebuster for the double down.
<v Speaker 2>Someone on commentary says, tag me brother. So Hogan comes
<v Speaker 2>in off the hot tag bumps everybody. Hogan hits the
<v Speaker 2>big boot and then the leg drop on the Scott Hall.
<v Speaker 2>But Nash breaks it up.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, Nash lays on him with his elbow drop to
<v Speaker 1>break it up too.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, damn Xbox gets a kick Como in
<v Speaker 2>the corner on Hogan Haul grabs that sleeper.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, off the whip, yes, sir.
<v Speaker 2>The ref checks Hogan's arm three times. He comes alive
<v Speaker 2>on the third one that dorowd goes insane.
<v Speaker 1>That's god damn reight brother, Well Hogan hot tags.
<v Speaker 2>Kane Caine comes in with a flying cane line on
<v Speaker 2>Scott Hall.
<v Speaker 1>It's a tiltal world slam on Xpot. His first move
<v Speaker 1>is to climb up and do the cane clothes on it.
<v Speaker 1>I said, holy shit, man, that's nuts. And he Caine
<v Speaker 1>is so fast here, like his getting up after everything
<v Speaker 1>he's doing. I was like, Wow, this is too big
<v Speaker 1>of a dude to be moving like this.
<v Speaker 2>He should shock Shane McMahon's battles with the car battery.
<v Speaker 1>Well, we should shave his head first and take the
<v Speaker 1>mask off first, dude. I think that's a good idea.
<v Speaker 1>Keep the little hairs on, dude. Look at me, brother,
<v Speaker 1>I got some soot from my motorcycle for a year. Face.
<v Speaker 1>So Kane has a sidewalk slam on Scott Hall.
<v Speaker 2>Here Nash comes back in and uh big boots and
<v Speaker 2>Xpot gets shit can Nash. It's a big boot on cane.
<v Speaker 2>But Rock comes in and then Rock does the suck
<v Speaker 2>it gimmicking lines him out of the rig.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, which I mean, Rock is just the best ats
<v Speaker 1>dealing someone' shit and making him look stupid for it,
<v Speaker 1>and that's what he does.
<v Speaker 2>The nash here, so Xpot goes for the Bronco buster
<v Speaker 2>on Cain, but Kane goozles them hits the choked slam.
<v Speaker 2>Hogan sends hall away and Caine picks up the wind
<v Speaker 2>for his team.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and Hogan and Rock both get in and grab
<v Speaker 1>both of King's arms. They raise them in victory and
<v Speaker 1>Cain then does the pyro and Hogan sells it like
<v Speaker 1>his life is a danger. What the fuck, dude, don't
<v Speaker 1>ever do that shit about that?
<v Speaker 2>What?
<v Speaker 1>What is this? Dude?
<v Speaker 2>This second hour already start? Brother, I'm in hell, dude,
<v Speaker 2>that's not hot. Well, Chris Jericho versus Matt Hardy is
<v Speaker 2>up next.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, we get a little recap of Matt talking show
<v Speaker 1>with Jericho and Jericho jumping him.
<v Speaker 2>Uh.
<v Speaker 1>Leita and Matt come out here in glowing the dark jackets,
<v Speaker 1>which looked hard as fuck. Yes, I love this outfit. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>sh was cool. I don't know how long this last
<v Speaker 1>or if it made it to the games, but it
<v Speaker 1>was very cool. Jericho was in his Here comes the
<v Speaker 1>paying gear he is, which I think is his wrestling
<v Speaker 1>the eighteen gear if I'm not mistaken. The green yeah,
<v Speaker 1>the green tights, Yeah, that is his. Here comes the
<v Speaker 1>pain gear. Yeah cool. Look I like it.
<v Speaker 2>Well, Matt runs him down and him and Jericho Hot
<v Speaker 2>start in the middle. Uh, Matt hits a clothes line.
<v Speaker 2>Here he mounts Jericho with some punches, and you see
<v Speaker 2>the raw draft picks on the bottom of the screen.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even look at this one. I was like,
<v Speaker 1>because I'm if I remember correctly, the raw side was
<v Speaker 1>just not nearly as cool as downside.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it wasn't like the end of Oh yeah they
<v Speaker 2>got an impact player.
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Oh just incredible Jason. Uh don Marie. I think
<v Speaker 1>she just signed like around this time. She's so she's
<v Speaker 1>coming in here soon. Well, Matt hits the side effect
<v Speaker 1>for the two.
<v Speaker 2>Jericho rolls through a sunset flip and tries to lock
<v Speaker 2>in the wall to Jericho, but Matt pushes Jericho off
<v Speaker 2>and he accidentally knocks Leda off the apron while the
<v Speaker 2>ref checks on her and Jericho low blows Matt and
<v Speaker 2>locks on the walls and Matt taps and Jericho picked
<v Speaker 2>up the win.
<v Speaker 1>It was lion Tamer style too. It looked cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>great finish here. I thought, good stuff. And then after
<v Speaker 1>Jericho's leaving and he walks by Leda, who's now getting up.
<v Speaker 1>She's obviously hurt, and he shoves her down and puts
<v Speaker 1>her in the walls of Jericho on the floor. Fuck.
<v Speaker 1>So we go backstage. Everyone is here at the APA party.

<v Speaker 2>to do.
<v Speaker 1>This is very good. It's it's very kurd angle like
<v Speaker 1>in his like commitment. Uh he I mean, this is
<v Speaker 1>so goddamn funny. So be it a Christian. And Christian
<v Speaker 1>looks at his hand and he's disappointed. He says, one
<v Speaker 1>card away from a real flush and he throws his
<v Speaker 1>damn it, dammit, I got damn one card away. He's pushing,
<v Speaker 1>he's knocking it off the table. The beers go flying,
<v Speaker 1>He's throwing an unreal tantrum, smacking the table, kicking the table,
<v Speaker 1>got away.
<v Speaker 2>The Christians are so fucking funny, real.
<v Speaker 1>First, damn it. I mean it's his entire body is
<v Speaker 1>slamming all this table, knocking beer everywhere. Yeah, he's and says,
<v Speaker 1>damn god, so so fucking funny.
<v Speaker 6>I mean, what a tantrum stuff? Right yeah, like right here,
<v Speaker 6>Like I believe they they probably saw this and then
<v Speaker 6>we're like.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's either was this or like he was already
<v Speaker 1>doing it, so they said, incorporate this into all your
<v Speaker 1>promos too. Yeah, guys, some ass.
<v Speaker 7>Now the Dudley's will they did.
<v Speaker 1>Well.
<v Speaker 2>We have r v D versus Test Intercontinental Championship match.
<v Speaker 1>Rv D is the champion and.
<v Speaker 7>Test has immunity forever.
<v Speaker 1>Just to let you know, I couldn't believe when I
<v Speaker 1>heard that. Later in the match, Tony the Test immunity things.
<v Speaker 7>It goes on for his entire careers after this.
<v Speaker 1>He has immunity for the community. Well, sadly it's not forever.
<v Speaker 1>No and one nothing is right. I'm sure he's got
<v Speaker 1>to go to n w Ah Jerry jar.
<v Speaker 7>Community there too, or maybe.
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Peter contract style where there's like an asterisk about
<v Speaker 1>the as does not have immunity to that things do
<v Speaker 1>not go on. He has the opposite of immunity. He's
<v Speaker 1>actually lucky he got there one match.
<v Speaker 7>That's the punish your r that's not Test, Oh right,
<v Speaker 7>that's Andrew Mark.
<v Speaker 1>So rv D.
<v Speaker 2>He got in the ring here with the intercontin Championship.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this era RVD is so fucking good. By
<v Speaker 2>the way, I'm a huge fan of this era of
<v Speaker 2>rv D.
<v Speaker 1>He's a beast.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he went to do his gimmick here in the
<v Speaker 2>ring and uh he got cut off by the Intercondo
<v Speaker 2>Championship thing, which I thought was funny.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he says, you know, Himble's doing his intro and
<v Speaker 1>Rvy's cheat up for the taunt, and then Shell has
<v Speaker 1>more to say. They on the champ that's awesome. He
<v Speaker 1>also got the raw name plate as well. Whoa, I'm
<v Speaker 1>not on Raw.
<v Speaker 2>This is smack though, I'm the champion of the inter
<v Speaker 2>I hope I don't fucking face Test. So RVD starts
<v Speaker 2>fast here on Test, but Test catches him and hot
<v Speaker 2>shots him off the top rope. Love that move, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I do to RVD hits a load drop kick and
<v Speaker 2>a sid kick with a.
<v Speaker 1>Moon salt for it too. He's lett him fly.
<v Speaker 2>So Test tries to use the ropes here, but Hebner
<v Speaker 2>notices that too, and h Test, of course is not
<v Speaker 2>He's not happy. He pushes Earl Hebner and uh, Earl
<v Speaker 2>Hebner hits the ropes classic style. He comes back, he
<v Speaker 2>pushes Test and r V he kicks the shit out
<v Speaker 2>of him.
<v Speaker 1>He's got a muteity, he has a beaunity. He's immune
<v Speaker 1>and he can do whatever he wants. He's a beaunity,
<v Speaker 1>the beutey. He doesn't have immunity from these hands. Pick
<v Speaker 1>a hand already super kicks the shit out of him.
<v Speaker 2>RVD goes for a sunset flip here, but Test grabs
<v Speaker 2>the ropes with both hands. Hmmm, dick, so Earl Hebner
<v Speaker 2>fucking jumps and kicks Test hands off the ropes.
<v Speaker 1>It's so exaggerated, like Earl is putting his entire body
<v Speaker 1>weight into knocking his hands off the ropes, and Test goes.
<v Speaker 1>He counts the pin but it's only a two, and
<v Speaker 1>fucking Test gets up. He lines RVD and Tests his pissed,
<v Speaker 1>and he looks a super pissed. Now they're staring at
<v Speaker 1>each other. He's walking Earl down, and Earl looks at him,
<v Speaker 1>and Test grabs him, and Earl says, knock it off.
<v Speaker 1>Test goes the punch it, but already catches the punch,
<v Speaker 1>Thank god. Well.
<v Speaker 2>Test goes for a power bomb here, but RVD rolls
<v Speaker 2>through and pins them. When Earl fast counts the three, you're.
<v Speaker 1>Damn right, don't fuck we're heaven her, yeah, Earl and
<v Speaker 1>already both powder. Test is fucking pissed, and Lawler on
<v Speaker 1>commentary says Earl screwed test. Earl screwed test. Well, we
<v Speaker 1>go backstage, Raven is chilling.
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Coachman comes up and says, is your DDT called
<v Speaker 2>the Raven Effect?
<v Speaker 1>Are you fucking the HD? What's going on down there?
<v Speaker 1>So Raven? Uh yeah, coach says, you find yourself back
<v Speaker 1>in the WF drafted to raw by Rick Flair, in
<v Speaker 1>the lottery and thought, and tonight you face Raven for
<v Speaker 1>the hardcore title. I couldn't believe it. I can't believe
<v Speaker 1>we're watching the Raven Maven, And Raven says Coach. Who
<v Speaker 1>I wrestle for is less important than what I wrestle for.
<v Speaker 1>My first objective it being the hardcore title. To quote
<v Speaker 1>Oscar Wilde, you hear this? To quote Oscar Wilde, they
<v Speaker 1>say we destroy the things we love, but really the
<v Speaker 1>things we love destroy us. Have you guys thought about that?
<v Speaker 1>For example, think about it a lot. His passion has
<v Speaker 1>led to a success, but it will be his waterloo
<v Speaker 1>courtesy of what has become known as the even FLOWDDT
<v Speaker 1>and Raven then leave, Just go ahead and cut that, brother,
<v Speaker 1>You know that's not right. Come back here, Raven, Scott, Scott, brother,
<v Speaker 1>come back here. You're gonna do it right this time.
<v Speaker 1>Say the line right. You tried that ship in w CW, brother,
<v Speaker 1>and that's not working here on SmackDown the Blue Brint.
<v Speaker 1>You might have got one over on Eric Bishaw, but
<v Speaker 1>not on the wood Master. Brother. Now you're gonna do
<v Speaker 1>this again. Sit back on that hockey net, dude, I
<v Speaker 1>don't know why you were on that the first place.
<v Speaker 1>Would sit there? Cole even says, what in the world
<v Speaker 1>was he talking about? And who the hell is Oscar
<v Speaker 1>Wild Brother? The Oscar I know, dude, Oscar Meyer. He
<v Speaker 1>got the dog's brother.
<v Speaker 2>So we have the very very anticipated matchup between everybody
<v Speaker 2>that's ever watched wrestling.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, Maven and Raven. This is very important. This feels
<v Speaker 1>like a rare pull.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this is very important Maven and Raven. Every kid
<v Speaker 2>that ever watched wrestling.
<v Speaker 1>Came up with the same thing. What if Maven faced
<v Speaker 1>Ray and I gotta tell you, James, it's so rare
<v Speaker 1>that on TV this singles match has happened only one time.
<v Speaker 1>They've only so it happened at two house shows, but
<v Speaker 1>on TV this is the only time they face in
<v Speaker 1>a singles The other time they wrestled two house shows
<v Speaker 1>the singles, and then there was a raw house show
<v Speaker 1>that had Dlo Brown, Johnny Stanbully, Maven and Spike Dully
<v Speaker 1>beat Christopher Nowinsky just incredible, Raven and Shone O'Hare legendary, unreal,
<v Speaker 1>unreal this time.
<v Speaker 2>The The funny thing is like, as a kid, I mean,
<v Speaker 2>like you would come up with the this is what
<v Speaker 2>you would come up with, right right, You're like, if
<v Speaker 2>I was booking WrestleMania, I would have Mavon and Raven.
<v Speaker 1>Why because their names are the same. Look at the names,
<v Speaker 1>Like the story rights itself. Are you kidding me? And
<v Speaker 1>the winner keeps the name?
<v Speaker 7>Oh that's right, Yeah, that's the angle.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean this was this was everything I could
<v Speaker 2>have ever wanted.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe, I mean Rare pull Raven Maven. Only time
<v Speaker 1>on TV ever, they have.
<v Speaker 2>Someone in the crowd with an I Love Maven sign,
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and the dude says, hey, the camera's
<v Speaker 2>over there.
<v Speaker 1>That was smelled wrong, Dude, was Raven? Cock cock cock

<v Speaker 1>Cock cock that LimeWire hit because he's a Raven.
<v Speaker 7>Of course I got the dotty Xy loves Ravens.
<v Speaker 1>He had to be literal like Rhinos theme starts with
<v Speaker 1>a rhino, right, dude, Rhino's theme was bad as too. No,
<v Speaker 1>I know here he goes. Bird Man is here, dude,
<v Speaker 1>that was my boy. I loved him on Heat. Oh well,
<v Speaker 1>don't I have the thing for you for the next
<v Speaker 1>two years.
<v Speaker 2>Well, Raven comes out here with the trash can full
<v Speaker 2>of weapons.
<v Speaker 1>Can you figure out why they only had one signal? Well,
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just different shows, of course, that's right, right, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>they definitely could have just ran it back on you
<v Speaker 1>whatever they wanted. No, no, no, come on, they're saving
<v Speaker 1>it for Ussel said.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Mayben's on SmackDown, Raven is on Raw. Right, we
<v Speaker 2>start the match off here, Maven dropkicks Raven who is
<v Speaker 2>holding a trash Can you can see why this match worked?
<v Speaker 1>And slides Raven. They they have Jerry Lawler explain on commentary,
<v Speaker 1>which is why I should have known what happens here.
<v Speaker 1>Walla says, oh, you know, Vince didn't drave Maven because
<v Speaker 1>he likes Maven. He did it because he wanted the
<v Speaker 1>hardcore title of his show. And I'm like, oh, okay,
<v Speaker 1>that sucks. That's mean to fucking say to Mavin.
<v Speaker 8>That's yeah, that sucks for maybe put the kid over
<v Speaker 8>a little, that's fine, And Cole says, you know this
<v Speaker 8>chipper he is, he's like legit the ultimate, like this
<v Speaker 8>kid has something, hopefully and that's uh, that's actually him
<v Speaker 8>for the whole rest of his run, the fucking tremendous
<v Speaker 8>song and uh for between this time in two thousand
<v Speaker 8>and five, yet the greatest job of his life.
<v Speaker 1>He should make a whole choir on that. Cole says,
<v Speaker 1>this kik is quite confusing, and Waala says, why's that close?
<v Speaker 1>Says well mavon Raven right, yes, James god Man, holy
<v Speaker 1>ship who in one go?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this was musty television, anyone, anyone? Well, Raven grabs
<v Speaker 2>two trash can lids and starts firing off on Maven's head.
<v Speaker 1>I mean he wails on them with these two trash
<v Speaker 1>can lids, beats the absolute ship out of them. Well,
<v Speaker 1>Maven grabs both lids.
<v Speaker 2>And starts smashing Raven's head and then he grabs a
<v Speaker 2>broom and wicked witches him.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. He puts it between his fucking crotch and makes
<v Speaker 1>him ride the sucker, and he upper cuts him with
<v Speaker 1>the trash can lid and then he hit him in
<v Speaker 1>the stomach with the broom. And I mean the business
<v Speaker 1>is picked up here, and so much so that Maven
<v Speaker 1>has a tremendous next spot.
<v Speaker 2>Raven's Raven sends Maven up and over in the corner
<v Speaker 2>and Maven lands on the apron and slips off and
<v Speaker 2>hits the floor.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, Jerry Lawler might as well ran into the ring
<v Speaker 1>and pissed his pants. Laugh and like he fucking laughs
<v Speaker 1>crazy at Mavin. The crowds aren't chanting. You fucked up?
<v Speaker 7>Do you tell you Vince didn't want him, He just
<v Speaker 7>wanted the title?
<v Speaker 1>Do he tell you that? Yeah? Do you know that
<v Speaker 1>we fucking hate this guy? And Raven Doo for whatever reason?
<v Speaker 1>My son.
<v Speaker 2>Well maybe hits a missile drop kick and goest pin,
<v Speaker 2>but Tommy Dreamer interferes with a cookie sheet.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he interferes. And he's also spitting water every second
<v Speaker 1>he moves. What the fuck is he doing well?
<v Speaker 2>Mayven hits a flying forearm on Dreamer, but Raven dropped
<v Speaker 2>toe holds him into the chair and hits the Raven
<v Speaker 2>effect for the three.
<v Speaker 1>What the hell, that's not what I wrote down here.
<v Speaker 1>That's what it is even flow DDT. Of course he
<v Speaker 1>wins with that's the main event move. I also, by
<v Speaker 1>the way, wrote flying Burrito into the cooking sheet because
<v Speaker 1>we've been watching so much Santana. Yeah, it fucking re
<v Speaker 1>flying Burrito. That's what I know it as. Now Raven
<v Speaker 1>gets a title that he deserves, the Hardcore title, which
<v Speaker 1>is really like the easy w World title when you
<v Speaker 1>think about it. I can't get over the the tron
<v Speaker 1>bird actually caring. I mean, like this even get.
<v Speaker 2>It as as a young person. I had to be
<v Speaker 2>nine ten something like that around this time, right the
<v Speaker 2>bird kawing with Raven versus Maven.
<v Speaker 1>This is my mania, Like this is everything, you know
<v Speaker 1>what it It could have been Wrestlmania seventeen because Tomic Dreamers.
<v Speaker 1>It could have been an ultimate for a lot of
<v Speaker 1>us here. But they took him out the same way too,
<v Speaker 1>with a flying Well we go back stage.
<v Speaker 2>Vince is here with Kurt Angle and he's pissed because
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown fucking lost the hardcore title.
<v Speaker 1>Goddamn it, Now I just have did did Vince fuck
<v Speaker 1>this up? Or was he calling Mavon a creep? I
<v Speaker 1>thought he was meant to say Raven because he won
<v Speaker 1>the title. But he calls Mavon a cream like, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's Kurt and Vince back stage and they're in their
<v Speaker 1>gear and you see that we just we just lost
<v Speaker 1>the hardcourt Championship for SmackDown, that creep Mavn. Damn? What
<v Speaker 1>the fuck?
<v Speaker 2>Why?
<v Speaker 1>I tell you I'm not gonna lose laying in that
<v Speaker 1>free agent stone Cold see Austin fucking damn. Okay, it
<v Speaker 1>was gonna make it as a handful on the road.
<v Speaker 1>So Kurt says, well, I heard a rumor he's gonna
<v Speaker 1>show up on Raw on raw man, I owe not,
<v Speaker 1>or I hope. So whatever did you say, Raven? We
<v Speaker 1>gotta do this again? Dude? I mean you're all over
<v Speaker 1>the place. May dude, brother, you fucked it all up?
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck is he doing here? Who is he
<v Speaker 1>talking to do it again? And mention me? He can't
<v Speaker 1>mention me, Okay, el sir, I guys, I'll try that. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>I'm so angry that maybe lost the title, and it
<v Speaker 1>is good. That was awesome. Brother Love.
<v Speaker 7>Doesn't say anything about Austin or or anything, just.
<v Speaker 1>Alrightright it up, shit, Vince? Uh Curt? Here is that
<v Speaker 1>Stone Call's gonna show up? And Robin says I'm gonna
<v Speaker 1>be there to bring him a smack down, and Kurt says, well,
<v Speaker 1>forget about Austin, what about dude, you nail? So we
<v Speaker 1>go backstage.
<v Speaker 2>We are back at the A p A party and
<v Speaker 2>Hurricane is chugging a beer till he passes out.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, They're saying, chug oh no, sorry, everyone's shanning Hero Hero,
<v Speaker 1>Hero me and season W seven and Hurricane drinks chugs
<v Speaker 1>this beer and he falls over, and Regal walks in.
<v Speaker 1>William Brige walks in, and Bradshaw says, hey, redcoat, how
<v Speaker 1>you do it? Says this isn't this all very pleasant?
<v Speaker 1>I mean the A p A having a party, A
<v Speaker 1>few lowly tarts here and your fellow low life. You
<v Speaker 1>know it's funny last week I told you, and it's
<v Speaker 1>come true that the APA is now officially out of business.
<v Speaker 1>You can hear Booker in the back. Oh he didn't
<v Speaker 1>have to go there, dog and valvinus sorry. Big Valboski
<v Speaker 1>steps up and puts one hundred dollars on the table
<v Speaker 1>and says, well, I got a hundred bucks on and
<v Speaker 1>Rechel Sobson says, no, you're right. We are out of business,
<v Speaker 1>and it looks like we're out of beer. So I
<v Speaker 1>guess the party has just about ended. So he fucking
<v Speaker 1>stands up. He reaches over the table, grabs Regal, drags
<v Speaker 1>him over the table. For some reason, this seems very
<v Speaker 1>odd to me. Everyone leaves as this happens, except Spike Dudley.
<v Speaker 1>Whufruk beats the shit up. Why why did Spike catch
<v Speaker 1>a straight here?
<v Speaker 2>What should have got out quicker? Like, that's what happens
<v Speaker 2>in the bars, man, when the fights breakout. You gotta
<v Speaker 2>get out of there. You're going to join the scuffle, dude.
<v Speaker 1>It was so fucking funny. I'm looking around and away
<v Speaker 1>from the pan out to show everybody down, or like
<v Speaker 1>APA was gonna take everybody out. No, I just see
<v Speaker 1>Hurricane drunkling there, get a table flipped on top of them,
<v Speaker 1>and Spike Dudley's laid down. So Fruk and Bradshaw are
<v Speaker 1>standing together and Fruk says, last party Hun Bradshaw says
<v Speaker 1>has been a good run. Huh. Fruke says, it has
<v Speaker 1>go out the same way we came in, and they
<v Speaker 1>walk and they go to the APA door. By the way,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much we talked about that. I
<v Speaker 1>mean them just having a door to go into anywhere
<v Speaker 1>they wanted that has a table set up.
<v Speaker 7>And amazing, like and went for business with you unless
<v Speaker 7>you go through the door.
<v Speaker 1>Do you walk around the door and disrespect like we're
<v Speaker 1>not even acknowledging you. But like, whoever came up with that,
<v Speaker 1>it's fucking complete genius. I mean, this hole. There's no
<v Speaker 1>way that they thought that like this is the plan
<v Speaker 1>where any of the APA stuff went or anything like that.
<v Speaker 1>But like, man, what a one, what a team. I
<v Speaker 1>mean they were ass kickers as the acolytes like in
<v Speaker 1>the fucking ministry. Yeah right, yeah. Like the fact that
<v Speaker 1>they were able to do more together after that and
<v Speaker 1>it evolved is like pretty cool because I mean they're
<v Speaker 1>both ass kickers. I like watching them wrestle and the
<v Speaker 1>APA gimmick and a lot like that was always a
<v Speaker 1>bright spot of these.
<v Speaker 2>Shows like this, like just brawlers like they were just
<v Speaker 2>you know, you go in there and you're gonna get
<v Speaker 2>an ass whooping, and we're not gonna be in there long,
<v Speaker 2>but we're gonna be in there doing our thing.
<v Speaker 1>And I always thought that was really cool about them. Yeah, no, sweet.
<v Speaker 1>They walk out the APA door and they close it
<v Speaker 1>and Bradshaw says wow, and Fruk says, hard to believe, Bradshaw,
<v Speaker 1>this is satisfucked. Bradshaw reaches down and he grabs the
<v Speaker 1>sign that has come in we're open, and he looks
<v Speaker 1>at it and turns it over to the side that
<v Speaker 1>it says sorry, we're closed, and he hangs that up
<v Speaker 1>on the door and the crowd booze and Bradshaw says,
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Fruke says, it's been real and they dap up.
<v Speaker 1>Let's go out in the room, and a spotlight shines
<v Speaker 1>on the door and zooms in on the sign that
<v Speaker 1>is the end of the APA for now. That was
<v Speaker 1>hard as fuck. I like that. I love that. Like
<v Speaker 1>that was like yeah because eventually, like so they get together,
<v Speaker 1>right spoilers, They get back together when Bradshaw has later
<v Speaker 1>that does happen to Jesus Bradshaw's the Blonde hair, the
<v Speaker 1>APA gets back together and then they split up again,
<v Speaker 1>but it's because Paul Hayman wants to fire for Ruke
<v Speaker 1>and Fruke's like, what the fuck? And then Bradshaw stays
<v Speaker 1>because Paul Hyman puts him over and gets in his head.
<v Speaker 1>So Brett, that's the start of Bradshaw's turn, and then
<v Speaker 1>Fruke has gone from there. But so that is way,
<v Speaker 1>you know, this one's way sadder to me of it,
<v Speaker 1>And this is said also, I like it way more
<v Speaker 1>because like team's just kind of going out like, hey, fuck,
<v Speaker 1>it's time.
<v Speaker 2>Like I think that's awesome, great character work backed up
<v Speaker 2>by just real snug guys in the ring, hard to beat,
<v Speaker 2>very credible uh stuff here too from them.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's awesome. And Fruk's gonna go on to feud
<v Speaker 1>with Reverend Devon over masturbating and Bradshaw is gonna have
<v Speaker 1>the hardcore title for a while.
<v Speaker 2>So now it's time for the main event. Vin sick
<v Speaker 2>Man and Kurt Angle versus Rick Flair and Triple H.
<v Speaker 2>Flair comes out here. He has his dress pants on,
<v Speaker 2>no shirt, no gear. I guess he wasn't ready for
<v Speaker 2>a fight to night.
<v Speaker 1>No he you know he had to do what's what
<v Speaker 1>was the right thing right then he had slacks on
<v Speaker 1>and a belt on with it as well to keep
<v Speaker 1>the pants up.
<v Speaker 2>He's in great shape, he looks awesome, he looks good.
<v Speaker 2>So Vince wants to start the match here, and Kurt
<v Speaker 2>says cool and smacks his ass.
<v Speaker 1>You know, a little good game before the game.
<v Speaker 2>And Vince then does a lot spread in flexes as
<v Speaker 2>triple H, backs off and tags Flair, which I thought
<v Speaker 2>was funny.
<v Speaker 1>That was pretty good. I like, I got a good
<v Speaker 1>reaction from the crowd too. And then uh Vince, uh
<v Speaker 1>Vincent at the bell rings and Vince immediately tags out
<v Speaker 1>to Kurt.
<v Speaker 2>So Flair Fargo struts here to start things off.
<v Speaker 1>They lock up.
<v Speaker 2>Kurt backs Flair to the corner here, but Flair pokes
<v Speaker 2>him in the eyes and chops him down to the
<v Speaker 2>other corner.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, immediate bullshit. Is the dirtiest player in the game.
<v Speaker 1>That is fucking awesome. Also, someone in the crowd, I think,
<v Speaker 1>right when you lost that game's wrong with young with you?
<v Speaker 1>That's fucked up. Don't fucking dick that. So, yeah, the
<v Speaker 1>when when Flair and and Curder in the corner somebody
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd yells you're on sterro who said that
<v Speaker 1>it's a tape show? Still near? So Triple H comes in.
<v Speaker 2>He beats down angle till Angle hits an overhead belly
<v Speaker 2>to belly, Triple H fires out of the corner with
<v Speaker 2>that goozle takedown.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, class bullshit. I hated that move in the games
<v Speaker 1>because I would always it would always catch me off guard.
<v Speaker 1>It's also a long animation. It is he chokes the
<v Speaker 1>ship out of you forever.
<v Speaker 2>Some animations are so long it's so frustrating to get
<v Speaker 2>like hit by it because you're like, wow, I have
<v Speaker 2>to sit here and look at this forever.
<v Speaker 1>It's like the it might be a to Jerry move
<v Speaker 1>to Jerry had a few of them. The punch combo
<v Speaker 1>to Jerry does is annoying, and also the one where
<v Speaker 1>he like chain rustle kip up legs just fuck no damage,
<v Speaker 1>gives you no meter. It's just the longest waste that time.
<v Speaker 1>Did you like how Flair encouraged Triple H here? Did
<v Speaker 1>you hear him? No? What was he saying? Come on?
<v Speaker 2>Triple that is his first name, Come on, Triple, Come on,
<v Speaker 2>it's on first day basis.
<v Speaker 1>That's fucking great.
<v Speaker 2>Well, Flair and Triple A's chopped down Kurt in the
<v Speaker 2>corner and they double Fargo's strut.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, this was drug amendous man double Fargo truck.
<v Speaker 1>Kurts feeds out and gets double chopped.
<v Speaker 2>Well, Kurt face washes Flair, but Flair whips Curt off
<v Speaker 2>the ropes into the sleeper. Well, Vince comes in he
<v Speaker 2>starts working on Flair's leg.
<v Speaker 1>They try not to laugh at the leg work on commentsary,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Vince has never watched wrestling, Like, what the
<v Speaker 1>fuck it's going on here? Well, Triple h.
<v Speaker 2>Comes to make the stop and the ref helps him
<v Speaker 2>to go back to his corner, and Vince and Kurt
<v Speaker 2>take advantage here, son of a bitch. Vince goes for
<v Speaker 2>the figure four, but Flair kicks him off and chops
<v Speaker 2>him down. Comes in and stops the Triple Ah hot tag,
<v Speaker 2>and Flair mule kicks Kurt as the ref is turned
<v Speaker 2>around and goes for the figure four.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, Okay, was this the where where there's the weird
<v Speaker 1>zoom in? Did you see this? No, there's a weird
<v Speaker 1>it's when Kurt I might be jumping ahead a little
<v Speaker 1>and if I am, I apologize. But there's a part
<v Speaker 1>where Kurt goes to like German Flare and the Mule
<v Speaker 1>cooks him. Is that this one? Oh maybe I didn't
<v Speaker 1>see that. He grabs him around the waist, but the
<v Speaker 1>shot is like zoomed in in weird quality, which made
<v Speaker 1>me think that the referee blatantly saw the low blow
<v Speaker 1>and they had to cut the ref out of the shot.
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what happened, Deer. It looked super weird
<v Speaker 1>on the at least, I don't know how it's how
<v Speaker 1>it aired, and I thought it was like, oh, maybe
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how I care.
<v Speaker 2>I mean Flair like literally low blows him right in
<v Speaker 2>front of the ref.
<v Speaker 1>In a minute, he kicks fucking Vince right in the ball.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, maybe at that point, like, oh fuck it,
<v Speaker 1>there's too many of them. But yeah, it was just
<v Speaker 1>super weird.
<v Speaker 2>Kurt comes in, he stops the Triple H hot tag
<v Speaker 2>here Flare Mule kicks him. Yeah, Kurt reverses the figure
<v Speaker 2>four into the ankle lock. That was awesome, but Triple
<v Speaker 2>H breaks it up and hits the Raven effect.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what the fuck? You can't, dude, Ravens even flow
<v Speaker 1>on the show that he's on. He won with that earlier.
<v Speaker 1>Can we have some can we have some fucking respect?
<v Speaker 2>Vince tags in, he locks in the figure four on Flair,
<v Speaker 2>but Flair turns it over and.
<v Speaker 1>Reverses the pressure. He at least got the figure four right.
<v Speaker 1>Like that didn't look like a mess.
<v Speaker 2>The figure four might be one of the best submissions ever.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the reverse and the pressure thing is crazy
<v Speaker 2>cheese like that's awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and like everyone knows it and everyone wants it too,
<v Speaker 1>so like it's an easy pop.
<v Speaker 2>Triple H and Kurt both come and Triple H hits
<v Speaker 2>the spinebuster for a two.
<v Speaker 1>Brutal uh.
<v Speaker 2>Flair bumps Vince out, but Vince grabs the belt and
<v Speaker 2>he comes in.
<v Speaker 1>He hits Triple H with it when the ref was turned.
<v Speaker 1>Come on, man, fucking bullshit, you went for the pedigree.
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, by the way, I don't know if you noticed.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it was on purpose. Vince purposely
<v Speaker 1>used the WWF title and not the WCW one for that,
<v Speaker 1>I mean calculated, completely calculated. Kurt pins Triple H but
<v Speaker 1>it's only a two, well two point nine, and Vince
<v Speaker 1>once some more he's mine.
<v Speaker 2>Vince hits the jake something double axe to the bat.
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing, dude? He like.
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing he was anticipating a cutoff, because Vince always
<v Speaker 1>does this. This is a classic Vince raised the arms
<v Speaker 1>up for double ax and get cut off with a
<v Speaker 1>low blow or something. But he just does it. I said, Oh,
<v Speaker 1>that's fucking crazy looking.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Vince's the double ax and then Fargo struts over
<v Speaker 2>the Flair and he starts Fargo strutting.
<v Speaker 1>Backwards and hits him with a line. Oh. Then Rick
<v Speaker 1>Flair comes off the top with the slid. My goodness,
<v Speaker 1>house chizou?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah for real, Flair just straight up load blows Vince
<v Speaker 2>in the corner the repslide, looking at his dick and
<v Speaker 2>balls and just says, all right, dude, he probably deserves it.
<v Speaker 1>They're in the fucking corner. Flair is chopping away at Vince.
<v Speaker 1>He's chopping the life out of him. Vince is selling
<v Speaker 1>this crazy with his face. Ah. And then Flair legit
<v Speaker 1>punts him in the balls and then grabs him and
<v Speaker 1>starts doing the knuckle punches. Okay, whatever, I guess.
<v Speaker 2>Well, Flair gets the leg up for the figure four
<v Speaker 2>and he kicks him in the dick again. Whatever fucket,
<v Speaker 2>but Undertaker is here, the big red Devil, say big
<v Speaker 2>boots Rick Flair. He pulls on top and damn it.
<v Speaker 2>Vince and Kurt pick up the win.
<v Speaker 1>Come on, man, bullshit that goddamn red Devil the Undertaker
<v Speaker 1>who he was drafted by Flair first, uh, because Flair
<v Speaker 1>was being an asshole and now Taker's going to make
<v Speaker 1>his life out of living now. Taker drags Vince out
<v Speaker 1>of the ring and walks up the ramp with him,
<v Speaker 1>and Cole says, is this a bad omen for Raw?
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry. Raw gets a lot worse here soon you
<v Speaker 1>don't even know the half of it. Later for more whatever,
<v Speaker 1>the brand extensions in full swing on Raw. The WWF
<v Speaker 1>as we know it has been changed forever who you
<v Speaker 1>don't even knowbody even you don't know how true that is.
<v Speaker 1>I so we and I'll put on back to the curtain.
<v Speaker 1>We picked this because we thought this was the episode
<v Speaker 1>where the draft had started, but that doesn't start yet,
<v Speaker 1>so we said, fuck it, let's watch this one, and
<v Speaker 1>then eventually we'll watch the Raw after the first draft,
<v Speaker 1>and then the Smack then after the first draft why
<v Speaker 1>the fuck not. It was an interesting little history here
<v Speaker 1>that this was the last shower.
<v Speaker 6>See all the line all the teams breakup, like the
<v Speaker 6>Dudley's and the APA and all that, and then see
<v Speaker 6>the Canaani promo is pretty funny too, just because I've
<v Speaker 6>seen the meme that I've never actually seen the full
<v Speaker 6>promo in the show.
<v Speaker 1>For him, right, Yeah, they shouldn't that clip forever. Well,
<v Speaker 1>that is it for ww SmackDown, WWF SmackDown whatever you
<v Speaker 1>may have in March twenty eighth, two thousand and two.
