<v Speaker 2>Yes.
<v Speaker 3>Every so often we'll make a thread on the Patreon. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>trying to get some questions from you all. We were
<v Speaker 3>going to do it last week and I was dying,
<v Speaker 3>so we moved it to this week. Appreciate you all
<v Speaker 3>having patients here but we collected a lot of questions here,
<v Speaker 3>and we all collected questions. Actually, we're gonna take turns
<v Speaker 3>here asking questions because I thought that'd be fucking cute
<v Speaker 3>because we didn't have a food.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's so cute. It's so adorable.
<v Speaker 3>All right, I'll start off here. Boys, uh forty four
<v Speaker 3>caliber love letter says important question for the boys. When
<v Speaker 3>you eat a Reese's cup, do you pull the little
<v Speaker 3>panties all the way off first or do you just
<v Speaker 3>pull it to the side?
<v Speaker 2>Is he saying like he takes off half of the
<v Speaker 2>rapper and then just eats that half and then takes
<v Speaker 2>it all out once he's about Yeah, that's.
<v Speaker 1>Kind of the idea.
<v Speaker 3>I like, yeah, I guess he's like keeping it like, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>he's unraveling it as.
<v Speaker 2>It goes along.
<v Speaker 1>Your hands clean, you know, you don't get you got
<v Speaker 1>to and you gotta put him in the freezer too
<v Speaker 1>before you eat them.
<v Speaker 3>I've never done that, I've heard him.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, ye is that right?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm I'm taking that sucker all off. This ship's
<v Speaker 3>getting button naked, and I'm probably I mean, that's at
<v Speaker 3>least two bites. I don't need the whole rapper there
<v Speaker 3>minimum it's two bites or maximum it's two bites. That's
<v Speaker 3>it's gone.
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's no way that anyone takes more than
<v Speaker 2>one bite to eat at Reese's Cup. You just gotta
<v Speaker 2>throw the thing in your mouth.
<v Speaker 1>But is crazy.
<v Speaker 2>It's melting at record pace when he free them.
<v Speaker 1>You have to take multiple bites with a frozen one.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's only on pool.
<v Speaker 1>In my mouth, that's crazy.
<v Speaker 2>That's all on pool days.
<v Speaker 3>That's fair. You're ing them in one hole, one fell swoop,
<v Speaker 3>You're just throwing the suck in there.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, I chew it, but like, yeah, it's
<v Speaker 2>all going off that one right, that makes sense? Yes, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>one bite is like you know, I put it all
<v Speaker 2>in at once and go to town on it everybody.
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna attempt putting it in full.
<v Speaker 2>And just swallowing I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that.
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, Well I'm gonna try it for you please.
<v Speaker 3>Oh got it? Okay, Well your question next, said James.
<v Speaker 2>I got a question here from Adam from Scotland Tony Pizza.
<v Speaker 2>Why did you frog smash my dog the long way
<v Speaker 2>sixty nine? Crazy style? You sink freak.
<v Speaker 1>That was not the question.
<v Speaker 2>So the question. I'm going to Japan in April for
<v Speaker 2>my honeymoon. That's right, boys, locked me in some boobies
<v Speaker 2>for life. Anything you'd recommend as a must do. I
<v Speaker 2>will be in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto for a few
<v Speaker 2>days each April twenty fourth and twenty fifth. Twenty fourth,
<v Speaker 2>you need to go to Shinjuku. Face in the evening
<v Speaker 2>April twenty fifth. You gotta go shink keep a first Ring.
<v Speaker 2>You gotta take the train all the way to like
<v Speaker 2>the last stop. There's a little nice little coffee shop
<v Speaker 2>right there in the station. When you get off there
<v Speaker 2>is you head down the street, Shink keep a first Ring.
<v Speaker 2>I heard the action as nuts out there.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it's I mean, espally there's a wrestling
<v Speaker 3>fan is specifically on April twenty fourth and twenty fifth,
<v Speaker 3>that seems like the place to be. Like if I mean,
<v Speaker 3>like if you were asking me if I was in
<v Speaker 3>Japan during that time, like that strip of time in
<v Speaker 3>April April twenty fourth and twenty fifth, I'd be in
<v Speaker 3>those two locations for sure.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, absolutely, Like look for the tickets, you know what
<v Speaker 2>I mean, do your thing.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean you can go for them somewhere. Great
<v Speaker 3>suggestions there, though, James, I think that was a good answer.
<v Speaker 1>Toby, all right, Hogan, HJJ, and HBK only wish they
<v Speaker 1>could bury someone the way Kendrick buried Drake. Have all
<v Speaker 1>of you either work Have all of you either worked
<v Speaker 1>retail or food service? And if so, do you have
<v Speaker 1>any good stories?
<v Speaker 3>I have not worked either of those.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I worked at I worked overnight at Walmart's before,
<v Speaker 1>like when I was in my early twenties or whatever,
<v Speaker 1>just because you know, overnight. I thought it was cool,
<v Speaker 1>even though it like sucks to work overnight.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I worked in like the dairy department, so I was
<v Speaker 1>just in the backstock and like the yogurt and all
<v Speaker 1>that shit all night long with a hoodie on a
<v Speaker 1>music playing. It was pretty sweet shit. Yeah. And then
<v Speaker 1>like I have two stories, like one, uh, this one
<v Speaker 1>manager that used to work in like the dairy department
<v Speaker 1>got like pissed one day and he was gonna quit.
<v Speaker 1>So he went to the produce department and grabbed a
<v Speaker 1>giant ass watermelon and came back in the in the
<v Speaker 1>dairy cooler and smashed it everywhere. Watermelon just.
<v Speaker 2>Show him you'reshing out.
<v Speaker 1>They got dude, he was christy go. They had cameras everywhere,
<v Speaker 1>and like, uh, he got totally got caught. It was
<v Speaker 1>so fucking funny.
<v Speaker 3>Because his plan like he was just pissed, Like he was.
<v Speaker 1>Like a guy who'd like they didn't order the milk
<v Speaker 1>I ordered, Like I ordered his milk and they never
<v Speaker 1>got it, and I'm fucking pissed. His play sucks and
<v Speaker 1>he gets so mad about it and socause you.
<v Speaker 2>Just can't have them a freaking packet, you know, like.
<v Speaker 1>You have headphones. I did not care.
<v Speaker 2>What the second time.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, just like every time I'd have to like bring
<v Speaker 1>the milk in, you know they milk or whatever.
<v Speaker 2>Nuts.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dude, I had the wheels on the milk cart
<v Speaker 1>you know, like the you know, the milk carton things.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how to explain it. They're like plastic
<v Speaker 1>cartons and their milk stacked like taller than you you know. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and then there's they're like on wheels. So like every
<v Speaker 1>fucking time somebody would tip over one of those fucking
<v Speaker 1>things and milk.
<v Speaker 3>Were everywhere in the back like they just were moving it.
<v Speaker 1>It was just like they would bring the truck in
<v Speaker 1>and then it'd be like normal Walmart people would go
<v Speaker 1>unload the truck. The truck guy doesn't unload it, and
<v Speaker 1>so then like you'd like push the milk thing, and
<v Speaker 1>people that never worked the dairy would try to help out,
<v Speaker 1>and then they just fucking push it. It's in the morning,
<v Speaker 1>like right when everyone's trying to go home and break
<v Speaker 1>down their box, there's milk all over the place. I
<v Speaker 1>just go I just clock out. I'm like, fuck this,
<v Speaker 1>I'm going home. I can't handle this, Tony.
<v Speaker 3>I'm only now just realizing that milk to you is
<v Speaker 3>water to me, Like I didn't realize you say milk, Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I say milk, yeah yeah, now that's yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 3>That's my water. All right. Next question here, I figured,
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you don't have to count this mind I
<v Speaker 3>can do too if this is just a quick one
<v Speaker 3>here from there was a bunch of questions here from
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of people, but I picked from, Hey, yo,
<v Speaker 3>it's the goosemang asks. Are the Deadlock Boys going to
<v Speaker 3>do the annual Deaddy's Your End Awards very soon? Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>we are going to do them. It's just been a
<v Speaker 3>little delayed. We're kind of trying to figure out what
<v Speaker 3>exactly the categories and all are. We're kind of discussing them.
<v Speaker 3>Things have been a little busy for the boys here
<v Speaker 3>at the start of the year and traveling and YadA, YadA, YadA.
<v Speaker 3>But yes, the deaddies are coming. So don't don't you worry.
<v Speaker 3>Don't you worry your heart's eye. And it's actually a
<v Speaker 3>very inde that you so many people have been asking,
<v Speaker 3>because that means they care. That's pretty fucking cool. All right, James,
<v Speaker 3>what's your question?
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, I have a question here from jose Atkinson.
<v Speaker 2>He says, I have been thinking about moving out of state.
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any suggestions?
<v Speaker 3>I mean where to us? Where he's at now?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, had a good idea.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, well, I think we all would put over
<v Speaker 3>North Carolina of course.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think if you're moving for a job, that's different,
<v Speaker 2>Like obviously you don't really have much say in where
<v Speaker 2>you're going. If you're just moving for a job, you
<v Speaker 2>should look and see if whatever your career path is
<v Speaker 2>or whatever you're gonna go do really, if there's a
<v Speaker 2>like available jobs in that area that you're moving to, you'd.
<v Speaker 3>Take to move there and then not have anything to
<v Speaker 3>do that would suck.
<v Speaker 2>I always recommend the South because it's just cheaper, Like
<v Speaker 2>cost of living is cheaper than the North.
<v Speaker 3>Where Tony lives. M is pretty fucking nice. There's just
<v Speaker 3>you got to drive a million hours for everything.
<v Speaker 1>It feels like, yeah, but everyone's got a car and
<v Speaker 1>he's Midwest is cheap too. You just there's like a
<v Speaker 1>ton of jobs out here. So if you need like
<v Speaker 1>a job, to get one like pretty easy around here.
<v Speaker 1>So it's pretty cool.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, don't move to the North. Stay out of Philadelphia
<v Speaker 3>and Massachusetts. Really nothing here for you. Shit's expensive. Jobs
<v Speaker 3>are hard to find. It's in Massachusetts is nice, but
<v Speaker 3>you know, shit's fucking expensive as shit. I don't answering
<v Speaker 3>the opposite way about you. I figured give a place
<v Speaker 3>to start. If you were thinking Philadelphia and or anywhere
<v Speaker 3>in Massachusetts, probably you know I don't need to go there,
<v Speaker 3>all right, Tony, All.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Uh that's my purse. I don't know. You asked,
<v Speaker 1>do you have a favorite horror movie kill? I know
<v Speaker 1>we talked about stuff like this before, but I don't
<v Speaker 1>know about favorite kill in a horror movie ever.
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, that's a that's a tough one. I need
<v Speaker 3>a sucking to think about that. I mean, like, all
<v Speaker 3>my thoughts immediately go to Sault because those are like
<v Speaker 3>my favorite fucking movies. The first one that came to
<v Speaker 3>mind is the reverse bear trap. I mean, like a
<v Speaker 3>man get out of it, but they use it to
<v Speaker 3>kill fucking like Jill gets killed by it, which is
<v Speaker 3>fucking gnarly. Like that's a thing.
<v Speaker 2>The first bear trap is one of the coolest things ever.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's fucking nuts.
<v Speaker 2>I guess a couple that come to mind would be
<v Speaker 2>Hatchet one when Victor Crowley runs down the Grandma and
<v Speaker 2>rips her mouth open from the bottom of her jaw
<v Speaker 2>over her head and spine and her tongue is sticking
<v Speaker 2>out the top. Another one I guess with Hatchet would
<v Speaker 2>be the the twenty foot long chainsaw up the dick
<v Speaker 2>and balls like that was pretty good.
<v Speaker 3>Well, dude, I was thinking of the terrifyer, you know,
<v Speaker 3>fucking split down the pussy all the way to that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a great one. Split down the pussy, the
<v Speaker 2>bedroom scene, I thought the I thought the mom scene
<v Speaker 2>was super underrated. Terrifier. Now talk about that one, the
<v Speaker 2>rat one, and the last one. Yeah, I have a
<v Speaker 2>ton like Friday at thirteenth, like I'm sorry enough. Nightmare
<v Speaker 2>on Elm Street when Freddy becomes the TV and smashes
<v Speaker 2>her head into the TV, which is awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>The one where he walks the dude off the fucking
<v Speaker 2>cliff with the strings attacked to.
<v Speaker 1>His was crazy with the streaks.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that one's awesome. Friday thirteenth. There's one that
<v Speaker 2>I always remember because it's so fucking funny. It's off
<v Speaker 2>the remake of Friday thirteenth when the dude's in the
<v Speaker 2>boat and he goes yo, and then its fucking boom,
<v Speaker 2>just head shot by a bow and arrow from like
<v Speaker 2>your yards out by Jason Bohes.
<v Speaker 3>Holy.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do you guys remember that killed?
<v Speaker 2>They're in the boat out on the lake and he
<v Speaker 2>goes Jason bo He's bam, just fucking moving boat in
<v Speaker 2>the water like at least two hernd feet out head shot.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, unbelievable.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that one's that was the Friday thirteenth remake when
<v Speaker 2>they brought it back. Wow and Jason Yeah could do
<v Speaker 2>a lot more.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, speaking of Friday thirteenth, the one and where he
<v Speaker 1>freezes the face and then.
<v Speaker 2>Jason the first kill. Yeah, that one's awesome Tony. The
<v Speaker 2>one where I don't know if you count it because
<v Speaker 2>they're AI, but the one where he puts them in
<v Speaker 2>the he puts them in the bag and they're like, Oh,
<v Speaker 2>come have sex with me, Jason. He's just flipping the
<v Speaker 2>bag back and forth. I gets the tree, he's just
<v Speaker 2>smacking it. Yeah, a sleeping bag kill. I like when
<v Speaker 2>he fights the android. I thought that was good. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I have a ton I mean, like ever, we could
<v Speaker 2>go on forever. I know I can't.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I could name it for everyone though, No, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say that. When I thought of it,
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Oh, the face Freeze one is like
<v Speaker 1>iconic and legendary. That's like one of my favorites just
<v Speaker 1>because it's so corny. But like everybody knows that even
<v Speaker 1>if they never saw the movie.
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean?
<v Speaker 1>You like know that kill?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're right.
<v Speaker 3>I don't know hard for James because I know like
<v Speaker 3>he has a bajillion of them.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that was like when I was growing up,
<v Speaker 2>that was my favorite thing. Where was the kills? Like
<v Speaker 2>I was like looking out for like gory horror movies
<v Speaker 2>and ship Yeah, so like yeah, I mean that was
<v Speaker 2>like the coolest shit to me. I mean, we could go,
<v Speaker 2>like I said, we can go on foreverybody. We'll digress
<v Speaker 2>for now.
<v Speaker 3>We may have talked about this before, but I'll ask
<v Speaker 3>again because you know, it's probably been a while. John Flood,
<v Speaker 3>attorney at law, not me, asked what did y'all want
<v Speaker 3>to be growing up? Or did you always plan on
<v Speaker 3>being smart Marks? From rip I knew i'd be a
<v Speaker 3>little smart Mark sitting in NEXTVW shows. Uh my. I mean, like,
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I ever had any aspiration other
<v Speaker 3>than to be a wrestler, Like I think that was
<v Speaker 3>always it when I was growing up. I don't know
<v Speaker 3>if like I had anything else in my mind then,
<v Speaker 3>like I would like to wrestle because I know, like
<v Speaker 3>and like I'm sure people want to be like I
<v Speaker 3>got in Fireman and shit, which is probably like way
<v Speaker 3>fucking better, like way harder, but also like you know,
<v Speaker 3>a more reasonable aspiration.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, wrestler, I'll probably actually do it.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, yeah, doctor, Sorry I got really distracted there,
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, wrestler is always that was always.
<v Speaker 2>My uh go to.
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know why I was always like this
<v Speaker 1>so hard. It sounds like, you know, like you want
<v Speaker 1>to be a doctor.
<v Speaker 2>A doctor. They'd probably say, simmer down, simmer down.
<v Speaker 1>I'll know you love computers and show. When I was
<v Speaker 1>growing up, you know, you have the family computer or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>And then my parents were like, you should be a programmer.
<v Speaker 1>I took one programming class and I hated it, and
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm not doing programming.
<v Speaker 3>I just did what did you want to be?
<v Speaker 2>Did you do?
<v Speaker 1>You remember like I don't know something, you know. I
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, I'll do something in business. Had no
<v Speaker 1>idea what I was going to do. He kind of
<v Speaker 1>made that yeah, but like, no, I know I was
<v Speaker 1>going to watch wf's the main event and do that
<v Speaker 1>as a job. No, but yeah, my parents like, you'd
<v Speaker 1>be a programmer. It'd be great. And then I hated it.
<v Speaker 1>I did one little coating thing. I was like, this
<v Speaker 1>is so bad. I don't want to do this.
<v Speaker 3>That's funniest ship. You don't want to be a pizza guy?
<v Speaker 1>No, no at all? Play video games? That that was
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool.
<v Speaker 3>Do that for a living, dude. I mean, that was
<v Speaker 3>never a thought of mine that I could like that
<v Speaker 3>that would be a thing like making playing game into
<v Speaker 3>a job or whatever, Like, yeah, that was never a
<v Speaker 3>fucking thought in my brain. I was just doing it.
<v Speaker 5>Nah.
<v Speaker 1>Once YouTube came around, though, I was like super exciting,
<v Speaker 1>you know. I was all into like new grounds and stuff.
<v Speaker 1>Then YouTube came out and I was like, oh, this
<v Speaker 1>is crazy. People just make videos and that's what they do.
<v Speaker 1>For Early, that's kind of cool, dude.
<v Speaker 3>I was like, like for my friends, like I wasn't.
<v Speaker 3>I had no idea that anyone else would ever find
<v Speaker 3>anything that I did. So like I was just uploaded
<v Speaker 3>to make my friends left and like stuff that we
<v Speaker 3>were doing just to yeah, like I will remember this
<v Speaker 3>in a few years little as I know. What about you, James,
<v Speaker 3>did you? Uh would you want to be?
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to work at Planet Video, that's right?
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, Early, wasn't it.
<v Speaker 2>It was yeah yeah, yeah, so like going to Planet
<v Speaker 2>Video because I lived in a southern town, so there
<v Speaker 2>wasn't much to do anyways, right, so either we play
<v Speaker 2>outside or whatever. But like I got an Xbox super early.
<v Speaker 2>I was like super into Xbox and shit, and I
<v Speaker 2>was super into movies, especially Harmond's and stuff. So like
<v Speaker 2>my favorite thing to do would be on the weekend,
<v Speaker 2>like Friday, you know, get out of school and then
<v Speaker 2>go to Video Zone, and I was like, Wow, this
<v Speaker 2>is the coolest thing ever. And like everybody that talked
<v Speaker 2>to there, like on the clerks and all the people
<v Speaker 2>are super cool.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, these are like the coolest teenagers ever,
<v Speaker 2>Like these are like you know, like this is like,
<v Speaker 2>oh man, they must be like the dream job here
<v Speaker 2>is doing this. You know, I had no no real
<v Speaker 2>world thoughts or anything at this point. All right, Jay's
<v Speaker 2>got a questions. I got a question here from Armando J. Mendoza.
<v Speaker 2>He said, when do you guys normally get your video
<v Speaker 2>game time in? Is it the weekends or sporadically when
<v Speaker 2>you have something to play?
<v Speaker 3>Uh, lately it's between midnight and six am. I think
<v Speaker 3>that's game time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's actually right, it's like the correct answer.
<v Speaker 3>Actually, yeah, Usually like all the bullshit's going on like
<v Speaker 3>during the day, like that's when like you know, work's
<v Speaker 3>got to get done and dealing with people and people
<v Speaker 3>that are awake, like trying to get through all the
<v Speaker 3>bullshit is usually normal people our I mean, my sleep
<v Speaker 3>schedule is completely atrocious. James is actually on a normal
<v Speaker 3>sleep schedule at the current time, which is freaking me out.
<v Speaker 3>That's awesome, but mine is like complete garbage. So, like
<v Speaker 3>I usually wake up pretty late and then you know,
<v Speaker 3>we do bullshit and then usually around the time when
<v Speaker 3>everyone's free to do shit that's not like you know,
<v Speaker 3>pertaining to work or anything else. It's usually around like
<v Speaker 3>eleven PM, and then we'll game until fucking the morning. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>that's usually what it is now. I mean, like I
<v Speaker 3>haven't like but most of the time it's just like
<v Speaker 3>I'm jumping on just to like play something I haven't
<v Speaker 3>really sat down and played, like a game that I
<v Speaker 3>was like, Oh, like, I'm excited to go play this
<v Speaker 3>new game, and.
<v Speaker 1>I'll oh, yeah, like a full game or whatever.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, but I mean I haven't done that in
<v Speaker 3>like years. But like sometimes I'm like, oh, like that
<v Speaker 3>looks fun, maybe I should sit down and play that,
<v Speaker 3>and then I just don't.
<v Speaker 2>So you didn't play metaphor Refantasio.

<v Speaker 2>Because break doesn't all be great wonderful time? Yes, Thanky
<v Speaker 2>dan Cher, you saw some soldier online? Thank you, thank you.
<v Speaker 2>All right, now it's time to take us back to February.
<v Speaker 1>Fifth, nineteen eighty eight.
<v Speaker 2>The main event number one.
<v Speaker 3>The first one even though it's so it's a spin
<v Speaker 3>off of Saturday Night's main event, but it's not on Saturday,
<v Speaker 3>it's actually Friday. So they did yeah, you know, well,
<v Speaker 3>I think it was just doing well, so they wanted
<v Speaker 3>to have like another primetime special just on a different day.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, little double shot.
<v Speaker 1>Friday Saturdays made back to bad.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and this is the first one in a big
<v Speaker 3>way because the big main event on this show hul
<v Speaker 3>Cogan against Andre the Giant, a year after supposedly somewhere
<v Speaker 3>around there there WrestleMania match where Hogan picked him up
<v Speaker 3>over his head in front of a thousand, one hundred
<v Speaker 3>thousand people over in front of one thousand veeple.
<v Speaker 2>And he dance.
<v Speaker 3>Before we get into that, let's take a small, short,
<v Speaker 3>little look into the water wrestling at the time with
<v Speaker 3>the Wrestling Observer newsletter. There was really not much gossip
<v Speaker 3>in nineteen eighty observers. Yeah, not not a lot of
<v Speaker 3>Gaga Tony though, so really just kind of straightforward things here.
<v Speaker 3>But there's a couple things nonetheless, and then there's something
<v Speaker 3>about this show in particular that I'll save it until
<v Speaker 3>the end of the review. But from the Observer February first,
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty eight, Meltzer says, So next on the big
<v Speaker 3>event agenda is the NBC special on February fifth. Meltzer says,
<v Speaker 3>I'm told not to worry about Hogan and Andre's match,
<v Speaker 3>as Andre's back is in a lot better shape than
<v Speaker 3>it was last year, and they somehow survive that he
<v Speaker 3>and Hogan are practicing daily, I'm told, and have a
<v Speaker 3>good match worked out. Meltzer put in parentheses. Now, let's
<v Speaker 3>not get carried away a ton of speculation that andre
<v Speaker 3>will win or the title will be held up. As
<v Speaker 3>mentioned before, Hogan can't win because they will kill WrestleMania four.
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure why that is. If they're going for
<v Speaker 3>a cage match, then you know the finish involves outside
<v Speaker 3>interference with Ted Debiassi. Meltzer puts your in parentheses. Actually
<v Speaker 3>you can be sure Debiaso will get involved in the finish.
<v Speaker 3>On February fifth. This is the first issue of our
<v Speaker 3>current four issue set. So that's how the Observer was
<v Speaker 3>going here. I guess you could buy them in sets
<v Speaker 3>of four. I don't know if I ever had a
<v Speaker 3>physical observer, and I don't know if I've where they
<v Speaker 3>in stores.
<v Speaker 2>They would get sent out right. It was like you
<v Speaker 2>joined the subscription, mail.
<v Speaker 1>A check to Dave Meltzer's house and then he's right
<v Speaker 1>handed you in the mail or some right, yeah that's.
<v Speaker 3>Right, yeah, okay, I don't yeah, I mean, like I
<v Speaker 3>in my brain. So when I was going to do that,
<v Speaker 3>I was like, there's no fucking way there's observers in
<v Speaker 3>eighty eight. But there was.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Wow, that's yeah, you got it like
<v Speaker 2>a newspaper.
<v Speaker 3>I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess that's probably right. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>and a couple things here from the Observer of February eighth,
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty eight. Now I couldn't find the actual observer,
<v Speaker 3>but uh, Saint Ridley from a square circle on Reddit
<v Speaker 3>had kind of a write up of some stuff here,
<v Speaker 3>so I got some information from that. Meltzer has here.
<v Speaker 3>The wrestling war is, for all intents and purposes, over
<v Speaker 3>the war between the territories, the ongoing collapse of the
<v Speaker 3>territory system in vinsc Man's rise. It is certainly the
<v Speaker 3>biggest story in decades, and at this point the war
<v Speaker 3>is over and Vincentmann has won. Sure, the fighting is
<v Speaker 3>still ongoing, but even if Jim Crockett Promotions can recover
<v Speaker 3>from the troubles, the gap between them and the WBF
<v Speaker 3>is there and it's just going to keep widening, So,
<v Speaker 3>which I guess makes sense. You know, WrestleMania is a
<v Speaker 3>big fuck deal. Like you know, we're coming up on
<v Speaker 3>wrestling you a four, So like WF is pulling ahead.
<v Speaker 3>And when when we watch old stuff back, it's hard
<v Speaker 3>for me, Like I just watch it as it is,
<v Speaker 3>but I wonder how it was like watching wrestling in
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty eight as like a territory fan, like and
<v Speaker 3>then seeing this fucking big monster of a company just
<v Speaker 3>kind of swallow it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like I guess like only watching the indies and
<v Speaker 1>then like, oh, what's this thirtyf thing? And you just
<v Speaker 1>one time you're like, holy shit, this is insane.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like that that probably sucked, right, like seeing all
<v Speaker 3>that just go away.
<v Speaker 2>I mean just because even if you look at it
<v Speaker 2>like sheerly off numbers, like a lot of territories died, right,
<v Speaker 2>so like a lot of people's favorite places died, and
<v Speaker 2>then just this one you just kind of had to
<v Speaker 2>funnel into just this one. And we kind of saw
<v Speaker 2>it happen again, right when WCW and ECW died, Yes,
<v Speaker 2>and everyone just kind of had to funnel here. And
<v Speaker 2>then of course we saw a lot of those fans
<v Speaker 2>that were watching WCWECW just didn't go watching.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah I'm not switching what I'm watching, right Yeah. WWFS
<v Speaker 3>Royal Rumble came out the clear winner against the Bunk
<v Speaker 3>House Stampede finals. That Rumble drew an eight point two
<v Speaker 3>rating and was seen in three point two million homes,
<v Speaker 3>which is twice as many people as when Georgia Championship
<v Speaker 3>Wrestling show on WTBS was big several years ago when
<v Speaker 3>this wrestling war was getting started. It's the highest rated
<v Speaker 3>show in the U in the history of the USA Network,
<v Speaker 3>and the Encore broadcast on Monday dre a four point
<v Speaker 3>eight rating a regular episode of primetime wrestling and that
<v Speaker 3>times usually this is a two point nine. All this
<v Speaker 3>means that is that the repeat showing of The Rumble
<v Speaker 3>was probably the second highest rated show on cable during
<v Speaker 3>the last week. So I think The Rumble was on
<v Speaker 3>TV at this time, Like I guess, you know, pay
<v Speaker 3>per view wasn't really a thing, Okay, you know, Rumble
<v Speaker 3>was like a TV special. Eight point two rating is
<v Speaker 3>fucking nuts to.
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what WCW did with Clash of Champions, I.
<v Speaker 3>Think, is yeah, I think yeah, yeah, I think that's right. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I mean like wow, yeah, Like like you said, like
<v Speaker 3>these you know, this goes away right, like eight point
<v Speaker 3>two eight happened at any fucking time soon.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I guess, like if you want to
<v Speaker 2>look at the wrestling audience and how has dwindled over
<v Speaker 2>the past fifty years, like there used to be a
<v Speaker 2>lot more wrestling fans, but like, yeah, as time went on,
<v Speaker 2>we just I mean it's like MIDI school compared to
<v Speaker 2>what it was.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, last thing here other other than the observer stuff
<v Speaker 3>that I can talk about at the end of the show.
<v Speaker 3>The employment status of the Rock and Roll Express Michael
<v Speaker 3>Hayes and Steve Williams with Jim Crockett Promotions has significantly
<v Speaker 3>cleared up. The Rock and Roll Express were fired at
<v Speaker 3>the Bunkcass finals on January twenty third. They were asked
<v Speaker 3>to do a clean job to Warlord and Ivan call
<v Speaker 3>off in twelve minutes, so instead they did the job
<v Speaker 3>in twelve seconds. Ricky Morton laid down to let Warlord
<v Speaker 3>fit him. Then they flew for the finals, and Dusty
<v Speaker 3>Rhodes learned what happened because he wasn't at the show
<v Speaker 3>and fired them on the spot. The Belzer said the
<v Speaker 3>comm be heading anywhere their WWF is doubtful due to
<v Speaker 3>their size, and Michael Hayes was fired last week following
<v Speaker 3>an incident. Doesn't really say what happened. I imagine he
<v Speaker 3>was being an asshole. Dude, lose these guys at twelve ah,
<v Speaker 3>fuck you all lose in skids, laying down right yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you guys gotta get fired, what the fuck?
<v Speaker 3>Or look kidneys, dudes as you're at. But that is
<v Speaker 3>it for the observer. Now let's talk about WF the
<v Speaker 3>main Event, number one, February fifth, nineteen eighty eight.
<v Speaker 2>All right, so we start with a code open. Here,
<v Speaker 2>we get a ton of small promo segments from everyone
<v Speaker 2>that will be wrestling tonight. Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>I mean I thought this was cool. I actually like
<v Speaker 3>this presentation a lot. It It feels very this era
<v Speaker 3>with like you know, yah, loud promos and big logos
<v Speaker 3>like on a just a background. So yes, we first
<v Speaker 3>see Macho Man in front of a black screen with
<v Speaker 3>the Macho Man logo next to him, and Miss Elizabeth
<v Speaker 3>is there, and Macha Man is I'm gonna send the
<v Speaker 3>Honky Tonk Man on the first bus spect to dis Graceland. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>cut right, Elvis one way ticket. Yeah, like, okay, just
<v Speaker 3>say it's the ship.
<v Speaker 2>I it's funny.
<v Speaker 3>The honky Tonk Coman is here now with Jimmy Hart
<v Speaker 3>and they're next to a Honky Tonk Man logo and.
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Hart has no glasses on and it's fucking with me, dude.
<v Speaker 2>It's cursed Jimmy Hart naked.
<v Speaker 1>Dude without glasses. He is cursed. He is like he
<v Speaker 1>needs to wear glasses. I don't know what it is.
<v Speaker 1>It just looks strange.
<v Speaker 3>Is Jimmy hard to heal more times than his face?
<v Speaker 3>It feels like he has to.
<v Speaker 1>Have been always yeah with the megaphone and all that, right, always,
<v Speaker 1>but most of the time, yeah, with the megaphone loud
<v Speaker 1>and annoying.
<v Speaker 3>Everyone hated him, Like I feel like the most talked
<v Speaker 3>about stuff that he did was with you know him,
<v Speaker 3>being with Hogan obviously, I guess just because that was
<v Speaker 3>you know him and Hogan was a package, I guess.
<v Speaker 3>But like any o, the time I see him, he's
<v Speaker 3>a little asshole with a megaphone with an asshole next door.
<v Speaker 3>So Hockey Talk Man says, uh, macha main keep his
<v Speaker 3>woman satisfied, And you all saw her fall head over
<v Speaker 3>heels over me and he was a lousy tune up
<v Speaker 3>for my guitar. And they show a clip of Honky
<v Speaker 3>Tonk Man hitting Macho Man with a fucking guitar, which
<v Speaker 3>is I mean, top five wrestling weapons, the guitar.
<v Speaker 1>It is great.
<v Speaker 3>Number four is guitar with a bunch of powder.
<v Speaker 2>Inside of him.
<v Speaker 3>Jimmy Hart says, why he is a very lucky man.
<v Speaker 3>He's very lucky. Then you don't play the piano. That
<v Speaker 3>would be weapon number three in vilist if he talk
<v Speaker 3>about carried a piano around and.
<v Speaker 2>Dropped it from the ceiling.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, on the back of it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they come out of it tiny with the little
<v Speaker 2>keys and their teeth in their mouth.
<v Speaker 1>It looked like an accord when they come out.
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that'd be a top five weapon for sure. Then
<v Speaker 3>we go to Ted dB and Andre the giant here.
<v Speaker 3>Now to your point, James, you said Jimmy Hart felt
<v Speaker 3>naked with the glasses. Andrea's here straps down felt very.
<v Speaker 2>Naked to me. Yeah, I guess maybe it was annoying
<v Speaker 2>the shit out of him.
<v Speaker 3>I didn't. Well, something happens later with the strap that
<v Speaker 3>I thought was pretty fucking funny. But yeah, dude, it
<v Speaker 3>was like, I was like, wow, he looks I mean,
<v Speaker 3>he looks good. I was wondering what condition he's in,
<v Speaker 3>because I know we talk about like Andrea's you know,
<v Speaker 3>health decline and in physically, uh, and I from it seems,
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's around for four more years. Not here specifically,
<v Speaker 3>he's like wrestling for four more years, but he's showing
<v Speaker 3>signs of the you know, wear and tear obviously.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well we already passed the Mania match and like, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he's helped me pretty pretty bad then too, so right, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>as we keep going here, and I mean we see
<v Speaker 2>the match here too, his mobility is sort of it's
<v Speaker 2>definitely not what it was like ten years ago.
<v Speaker 3>Sure, no, so Dbisi and Andre here, and Debiosti says,
<v Speaker 3>I'm the.
<v Speaker 2>Million dollar man.
<v Speaker 1>Just don't know how you do that.
<v Speaker 3>You got to fucking know what this is going on here.
<v Speaker 3>I man, I got the fucking Bundy, and I'm here
<v Speaker 3>with the only true heavyweight champion in the world, Andre
<v Speaker 3>the Giant Haul. Cogan may hold the belt for now,
<v Speaker 3>but after the night that belt will fill around Andre's
<v Speaker 3>waist just as well as Andre's hands fit around Hogan's neck.
<v Speaker 3>And they show a shot of Andre behind goozling Hogan
<v Speaker 3>and choking him to death, which was pretty darly. Uh,
<v Speaker 3>and Andre said, holdgard, okay, order to order guard and
<v Speaker 3>our guard, earn our guard, and he's fucking I mean,
<v Speaker 3>Andrea is a He was kind of awesome.
<v Speaker 1>He was doing it, doing the evil laugh, the money
<v Speaker 1>Man laugh and the.
<v Speaker 3>Walker hold guard. Yeah right, and then Hogan comes on
<v Speaker 3>screen and this dude looks so fucking insane, like this
<v Speaker 3>dude's massive.
<v Speaker 2>Well, it doesn't help that he's green screened, so it
<v Speaker 2>looks up.
<v Speaker 3>Hogan says, when that big nasty giant stuck up behind
<v Speaker 3>me put his field the hands around my neck, I
<v Speaker 3>knew what was fighting for my life, dude, thousands of
<v Speaker 3>miles away. Whole comedie to breathe either.
<v Speaker 1>What I understand that why are they dying?
<v Speaker 3>What's going on the life of Hogan is the life
<v Speaker 3>of all the hoo comaniacs.
<v Speaker 2>Socu is power.
<v Speaker 1>That's where he gets his power from the hull comaniac.
<v Speaker 1>So they were chiping out.
<v Speaker 3>A whole fucking bunch of kids if he dies.
<v Speaker 1>So when he gets body slammed, he's like, I feel it,
<v Speaker 1>you know, because I'm a hull Camina becaus a little kid.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, child, hogans is.
<v Speaker 3>That's why tonight, when I step in the ring with
<v Speaker 3>Android the Giant, the thoughts and the prayers of all
<v Speaker 3>those hulkamaniacs, that's someone with the through the hard times
<v Speaker 3>are going to go in the ring with me and
<v Speaker 3>Andre the Giant with all that on my side, hul
<v Speaker 3>Camania will never die and Hogan flexes and then they
<v Speaker 3>green screen him on top of the crowd shot, which
<v Speaker 3>I thought was cool before we go into the actual
<v Speaker 3>show intro.
<v Speaker 2>So we do get the show intro here. It feels
<v Speaker 2>like an old game show intro.
<v Speaker 3>That's a great way to put it. Yeah, it does.
<v Speaker 2>Like the fucking squares coming in. It's always funny to
<v Speaker 2>see that.
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't used the Evah.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, this is a super large crowd here, also
<v Speaker 2>in front of just a shit ton of people on TV.
<v Speaker 3>This amount of people does not even think about wrestling,
<v Speaker 3>let alone watch it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can imagine like how these guys became superstars.
<v Speaker 2>Like it wasn't so much, you know, it was really
<v Speaker 2>that the exposure they had was just purely unimaginable by
<v Speaker 2>today's numbers. Like dude, but like there's like at least
<v Speaker 2>thirty million people watching this on TV or something, and
<v Speaker 2>like the idea that they just all get to see
<v Speaker 2>the macho man and like Hogan and Ship like, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>there's no there's there's really no way that you don't
<v Speaker 2>become a superstar being on this show. I imagine the
<v Speaker 2>politiking to get on this fucking show was unbelievable, Like
<v Speaker 2>knowing that this is gonna be like the biggest fucking
<v Speaker 2>show ever for wrestling, right, Yeah, Like, I can't imagine
<v Speaker 2>the backstage going into this one.
<v Speaker 3>Well, maybe you should put me on a couple of
<v Speaker 3>times all this show, dude, I guess I promos to
<v Speaker 3>cut a video back.
<v Speaker 2>Here they fucking green screen when they probably thought that
<v Speaker 2>tech was awesome.
<v Speaker 1>He's like, WHOA.
<v Speaker 2>Put me for the green screen? Will never die? So
<v Speaker 2>we start with Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura. Here, Vincent
<v Speaker 2>Vatura are in front of the crowd with a live
<v Speaker 2>mic so everyone can hear what they're saying. Also, that's uh,
<v Speaker 2>that's something that doesn't happen anymore. That's usually how they
<v Speaker 2>started the show back in the day.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, why why do you think that is? Do you
<v Speaker 3>think it's just did the crowd not like it? Or
<v Speaker 3>did they not like it?
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe because it's formatting like a TV show now,
<v Speaker 2>like you know, something like that instead maybe before it
<v Speaker 2>was more like a broadcast and like that. Now it's
<v Speaker 2>like this is an episodic television show. Sure, okay, sit
<v Speaker 2>there and watch it and cheer. So Vincent Ventura, Uh,
<v Speaker 2>they talk about the show. Jesse Ventura is fucking just
<v Speaker 2>out of his mind. I mean, this guy looks insane.
<v Speaker 3>What is he How do you describe what he's wearing here?
<v Speaker 3>It's a leopard print hat.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's got a hat. He's got like a little
<v Speaker 2>road piece on there on the top. Yeah, he looks nuts.
<v Speaker 2>He's sitting there with his hat in this row. Bonnie,
<v Speaker 2>he's just saying, fuck you, Cogan. Dude.
<v Speaker 3>Have mcvihn says, I'm here with Jesse. The body just
<v Speaker 3>flew in from Hollywood, and Jesse is happy that he
<v Speaker 3>said this, and vinceays a few comments about tonight's action. McMahon,
<v Speaker 3>fuck you. I don't deal in comments. I deal in facts.
<v Speaker 3>And the fact is this, fuck Hault Cogan. I fucking
<v Speaker 3>ate on.
<v Speaker 2>Decades.
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Jesse. Yeah, he talks about Andre winning a
<v Speaker 3>year to get his hands on Hogan and the champ
<v Speaker 3>is going down and he predicts it. The crowd boos
<v Speaker 3>this because they can hear him. Now. Jesse mentions here
<v Speaker 3>that the Hard Foundation are going to regain the WF
<v Speaker 3>tag titles tonight, which I thought was interested because this
<v Speaker 3>I feel like he is the only mention of this
<v Speaker 3>on the entire broadcast.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe they didn't even know if they were gonna
<v Speaker 2>be able to get to it or not.
<v Speaker 3>Uh well, I feel like maybe they could have just
<v Speaker 3>got it, like because good Lord, okay, but we'll get there.
<v Speaker 2>Uh.
<v Speaker 3>He also predicts a honky tonk man is gonna send
<v Speaker 3>Macho man back. I don't know what that meant and
<v Speaker 3>what the honky tonk man is going to do to
<v Speaker 3>Elizabeth after not even I know that. McMahon, Hey, fuck you.
<v Speaker 2>M He grasps the mic and done another thing, McMahon.
<v Speaker 2>A lot of the local government here in this city
<v Speaker 2>have been pissing me up.
<v Speaker 1>Oh stop.
<v Speaker 2>Another thing that pisses me off. His whole Cogan, who
<v Speaker 2>here tonight, is going to take too much time and
<v Speaker 2>take away from Brett Hart.
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's what happened. I don't even consider that. Its
<v Speaker 3>fucking Google Gaga fucked up.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Probably.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, McMahon, is Hogan talk to you about anything lately?
<v Speaker 3>Don't believe him.
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't me.
<v Speaker 1>Right now.
<v Speaker 2>I saw you and Hogan go into a room.
<v Speaker 3>What was that about, Vince says, Uh, the airn Continent
<v Speaker 3>Tunnel matches up next. But right now, we have some
<v Speaker 3>footage on the Hulkster.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we get a Holkokan training montage. He's slamming and
<v Speaker 2>jamming that iron, if you will. Actually, he's slamming and
<v Speaker 2>jamming this iron so hard and so fast that by
<v Speaker 2>the end of this montage he absolutely loses his fucking mind.
<v Speaker 3>Dude. He like, this is a psychotic outbreak.
<v Speaker 2>Here, Like this is what one scoop of creatin does.
<v Speaker 3>This is a cup of holkarous that gets you in
<v Speaker 3>the fucking place to be here. Hogan is so fucked
<v Speaker 3>out of his mind. I mean like he is the
<v Speaker 3>tennis man I've ever seen. Yeah, I hope this is
<v Speaker 3>his personal gym, because this is a sight to be seen.
<v Speaker 3>Like the cops are getting called if this.
<v Speaker 2>Is a race. This was definitely gold. Yeah oh yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's right.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>The faces he's making are insane. He changes his outfit
<v Speaker 3>halfway through this. I thought this was just a training session.
<v Speaker 3>Supposedly this is multiple training sessions. The end comes here
<v Speaker 3>where he's he's done working out and he's looking at
<v Speaker 3>himself in the mirror and he's fucking flexing crazy and
<v Speaker 3>he goes.
<v Speaker 2>Ah ah, hooky wasn't doing any fucking dead lifts or anything.
<v Speaker 2>He was an awest setstry work. He yet he was
<v Speaker 2>on the functional trainer for three and a half hours. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>hey man, I just really needed to try set plitch downs.
<v Speaker 2>Fuck off. So me and Jean is in the back
<v Speaker 2>with Honky Tonk Man and Jimmy hart Load and he
<v Speaker 2>talks to him about their upcoming matchday with the macho man.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Jean, says, Honky Talk. Here we go the
<v Speaker 3>biggest tuntle defense of your career, any trepidation tonight, and
<v Speaker 3>Honkey Talk says, you're no journalist, green Bean, You're missing
<v Speaker 3>the story. The story here is romance, the lovely Elizabeth
<v Speaker 3>And let me cut.
<v Speaker 2>You off right there. Fuck you. By the way, I'm
<v Speaker 2>one of the biggest and best journalists that you have
<v Speaker 2>here in the world. Rests in Federation. You're an assole.
<v Speaker 3>Figure it out.
<v Speaker 2>You're not even Elvis. Look at you. You look in Sae.
<v Speaker 2>If we're up to me, you would take a long
<v Speaker 2>walk off a short period and I could I digress
<v Speaker 2>to now you're facing the matra man. Sorry about that,
<v Speaker 2>but you can we do it again.
<v Speaker 3>We're live.
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, keep going.
<v Speaker 3>Legit. We know, we know she fucking wants to funk
<v Speaker 3>the shit out of you, dude.
<v Speaker 2>We know you've been Elvis for like four years now.
<v Speaker 2>We're all sick of this is dead.
<v Speaker 3>I wish you were as well anyway. Next question, how
<v Speaker 3>do you feel about your chances tonight?
<v Speaker 2>We're live.
<v Speaker 3>Jimmy Arden says, even this bozo could see it. She
<v Speaker 3>wants you honkying. Honky says, I'm gonna oblige her being
<v Speaker 3>the gentleman I am, and Mean says, what are you saying, man,
<v Speaker 3>what are you saying?
<v Speaker 2>I hate you?
<v Speaker 3>Die? Honky says, I got the title, I've I've got
<v Speaker 3>the title, I got the belt. And to night, I'm
<v Speaker 3>gonna get the woman, the lonely woman. And mean Jean says,
<v Speaker 3>oh no, Jimmy says, and we're gonna take her, Honky,
<v Speaker 3>and mean Jane says, where are you going to take her? Honkey?
<v Speaker 3>And Honkey says, I'm gonna take her down the lonely
<v Speaker 3>street to the Heartbreak hotel and mean she says this, Wow,
<v Speaker 3>I hate this. This. You gotta be funing ken to me, buddy.
<v Speaker 2>Enough of this, I'll be honest.
<v Speaker 3>Jimmy says, you know what, you know what the hound
<v Speaker 3>dogs are going to be, and mean, he says, where
<v Speaker 3>where is it gonna be? Where the hound dogs? And
<v Speaker 3>Honckey Talking Man says in the good too, Jean says, Oh,
<v Speaker 3>I hope the real Elvis doesn't hear that, and I
<v Speaker 3>hope you die.
<v Speaker 2>I do like that they don't act like this dude
<v Speaker 2>is Elvis. He's just impersonating Elvis.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Jesse, even Turry pretty much all the commentary
<v Speaker 3>says he's the second coming of Elvis, so like, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>like he's the.
<v Speaker 2>Because it very easily could have been, Hey, this is Elvis.
<v Speaker 3>Elvis is wrestling now, right, but it was it was that.
<v Speaker 2>He was impersonating Elvis, and that's what made him yeah
<v Speaker 2>right right, so that, you know, I got to give
<v Speaker 2>a thumbs up on that. So we go to Honky
<v Speaker 2>talk Man's entrance. He makes his entrance with then girlfriend
<v Speaker 2>and still girlfriend.
<v Speaker 3>I guess Peggy, who is fine with him wanting to
<v Speaker 3>fuck miss Elizabeth.
<v Speaker 2>I guess cucking your wife in the eighties is fine.
<v Speaker 3>Record invented and so dude, one thing I like about
<v Speaker 3>I guess this isn't like a Justice era thing, but
<v Speaker 3>it feels like it happened more during this era. The
<v Speaker 3>tight like guardrails, so they had to have like security
<v Speaker 3>or cops come down with the dudes, like the.
<v Speaker 1>Cops were always awesome.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I thought that was a cool look. It made
<v Speaker 3>him feel like a big fucking deal, like.
<v Speaker 1>Oh stuff, don't touch this wrestling.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know your brain's out, funny dude.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I thought that made him feel like a big deal,
<v Speaker 3>like they would like have to have people there to
<v Speaker 3>stop the fans from jumping all over them.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was cool. At ec W they had
<v Speaker 1>cops to it because it's just like a crazy place
<v Speaker 1>that was.
<v Speaker 2>Just for Philadelphia.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, but I think that's crazy too. You know,
<v Speaker 1>they got cops here this because nar Yea his place
<v Speaker 1>is bread.
<v Speaker 3>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>So we go backstage here Macha Man and Miss liz
<v Speaker 2>Or with Mean Jean and the Hockey Talk Man. Music
<v Speaker 2>just won't duck. So Macha Man's is doing a bunch
<v Speaker 2>of theatrics to the hockey talk Dude.
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to talk, but they don't cut. They don't
<v Speaker 1>play his audio. It's just the doggy dog stave.
<v Speaker 2>Dude.
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like the song is winding down to like
<v Speaker 3>it gets to the end of the song and they
<v Speaker 3>played out and then I got alongside Burns, like, hey,
<v Speaker 3>turn that ship off. What the fuck is going on here?
<v Speaker 3>Mean Jane says Elizabeth. The honky talk man said, yes,
<v Speaker 3>plans for you. Are you worried? Then Macho Man stops say,
<v Speaker 3>wait a minute, mean Gene, I'm just a honky dog
<v Speaker 3>man man. When we that ring, we know the danger zone.
<v Speaker 3>In the danger zone, Macho min rules, Elizabeth does nothing
<v Speaker 3>to worry about in the honky tonk man is everything
<v Speaker 3>to worry about.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's right.
<v Speaker 3>And mean Jen says, what about the claims he's made,
<v Speaker 3>and macho Man says, it's a fuel of fire for
<v Speaker 3>the mucha man fuel of fire and heat is on
<v Speaker 3>And what he did to Elizabeth Mucia mances everybody's gonna
<v Speaker 3>be watching Mucho menns tonight and I guarantee you turned.
<v Speaker 2>He turned.
<v Speaker 3>He turned fucking musical? Can we get fucking can't at
<v Speaker 3>least done this fucking musical before I bunched me dead
<v Speaker 3>hockey dungue man, vengeance is mind seeth the mochio man
<v Speaker 3>bit on me man all the way Elizabeth down the aisle,
<v Speaker 3>he goes off screen. Macho men's the best.
<v Speaker 2>Man, Like this guy's the goat.
<v Speaker 1>He is cool, he's awesome.
<v Speaker 2>He zoomed in on this dude, and this is the
<v Speaker 2>most red man I've ever seen.
<v Speaker 1>He is so red.
<v Speaker 3>He's sweating. Yeah, he's sweating and fucking beat red.
<v Speaker 2>He also exits the scene and the most belligerent way
<v Speaker 2>I've ever seen a persons scene. He's just like saying
<v Speaker 2>ship and looking directly at the camera and he walks
<v Speaker 2>away backwards.
<v Speaker 3>But still talking.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So we had the Hockey Top Man versus Macho Man
<v Speaker 2>Randy Savage Intercontinental Championship match. Here is the first schedule
<v Speaker 2>about here for the main events. We come back to
<v Speaker 2>the ring and Peggy Sue is still dancing to this
<v Speaker 2>dude's fucking music. It's been like six or seven minutes.
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he.
<v Speaker 3>Can't turn it off. If there's a funk up in
<v Speaker 3>the production truck. He's gonna have honkey talk music all night.
<v Speaker 1>No, it's like du jack matches. You go there, so
<v Speaker 1>I just play. He's got a guitar basically ship.
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy idea that he.
<v Speaker 1>Wants a honkyunk man.
<v Speaker 2>He's a honkey so Liz goes to get in the ring,
<v Speaker 2>but Macho stops her because the Honky Tonk Man is
<v Speaker 2>goading her on He's a weird bastard, and Jimmy Hart
<v Speaker 2>starts distracting the Macha Man on the apron So Honky
<v Speaker 2>talk Man tries to riz Liz with the dance he's jiving.
<v Speaker 2>He's doing that little finger point dance he loves to do. Yeah. Uh,
<v Speaker 2>Macha Man is now chasing Honkey talk Man around the arena.
<v Speaker 3>Jesse Vatura thinks that Elizabeth enjoys. Elizabeth gave Honky a
<v Speaker 3>big smile on mc man said no, no, I did
<v Speaker 3>see that.
<v Speaker 2>So Macha Man finally gets his hands on the Honckey
<v Speaker 2>talk Man and immediately Honky tok Man starts bumping all
<v Speaker 2>around for the Macho Man. This is awesome, Honckey top Man,
<v Speaker 2>trust a sunset flip Macho Man, but Macha Man doesn't
<v Speaker 2>fall over and then punches him. Dude, I love that
<v Speaker 2>Honky tok Man. Literally cannot do anything to him unless
<v Speaker 2>there is an absolute reason why. Even on the where
<v Speaker 2>you think we're going to the cutoff, yes, like he
<v Speaker 2>still gets back up right. It's like a fake cutoff
<v Speaker 2>right every time.
<v Speaker 3>Unless some nefarious thing happens first to give him the advantage.
<v Speaker 3>He's not having an advantage.
<v Speaker 2>Right Like, at any given point, if the babyface is
<v Speaker 2>not getting cheated, they're up. Like, that's just old school
<v Speaker 2>American wrestling, right. If the babyface isn't given a reason
<v Speaker 2>to be down, then they're up. Like, and I thought
<v Speaker 2>that played off well here.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it works perfectly here, Jims, because like I mean,
<v Speaker 3>the crowd is here for every bit of this, like
<v Speaker 3>everything Honky has, like you would if this was the
<v Speaker 3>only match on the show, you could believe Tonk Man
<v Speaker 3>is the biggest heel in wrestling history, like they are.
<v Speaker 3>They hate this fucking dude, and they love the Macho Man.
<v Speaker 2>Macha Man chases Jimmy Hart again, which allows Honky tonk
<v Speaker 2>Man to grab the megaphone and hit Macho Man with
<v Speaker 2>it instead, account.
<v Speaker 3>Bitch, dude. Something super impressive that Macha Man does a
<v Speaker 3>lot like he does it as a move and he
<v Speaker 3>does it just to fucking go to the floor. Jumping
<v Speaker 3>from the ring over the rope to the fucking floor
<v Speaker 3>is crazy looking.
<v Speaker 2>He's a big dude, Yeah, they just I mean, the
<v Speaker 2>athleticism is nutsier. Machup Man was way Maybe that's why
<v Speaker 2>he was so over too. Is he was just like
<v Speaker 2>way different than the guys that were on top of
<v Speaker 2>the ww al Yeah the time, way different. Yeah. So,
<v Speaker 2>Honky Tonk locks in a chin lock while Peggy Sue
<v Speaker 2>is still dancing at ringsides. She just can't stop emoting.
<v Speaker 2>Honky Talk takes control and does a little dance for
<v Speaker 2>Elizabeth while Jimmy Hart chokes out macho man behind him.
<v Speaker 3>He's serenading Elizabeth look what she say? And Jesse Ventura
<v Speaker 3>is is a super pro hockey talk man. Jesse does
<v Speaker 3>a great job here on commentary. By the way, I
<v Speaker 3>think he's a great asshole announcer.
<v Speaker 2>He is very good. I think so too, Like he's
<v Speaker 2>good at picking his spots and he's good at protecting
<v Speaker 2>things too.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think so too.
<v Speaker 2>The crowd is chanting Randy as he starts fighting back
<v Speaker 2>with some jabs, but hockey Ton goes low and hits
<v Speaker 2>the line to take back over.
<v Speaker 3>Fucking bitch.
<v Speaker 2>Hockey Tong hits the multiple elbow drops goes to the
<v Speaker 2>outside towards Liz. Here, the crowd is going fucking hissed mad. Yeah, dude,
<v Speaker 2>like Macha Man's down and he's he's stalking Liz on
<v Speaker 2>the outside and the.
<v Speaker 3>Closing in on the other side too, like they're fucking
<v Speaker 3>about to both collide and do something nefarious here and
<v Speaker 3>Macho Man is struggling to get up, and.
<v Speaker 2>Macha Man comes from behind and hits the Honky Tonk
<v Speaker 2>Man and the crowd just goes nuts. Here hockey Ton
<v Speaker 2>gets the back of the ring and begs off.
<v Speaker 3>Oh that was so fucking dude. His beg off was
<v Speaker 3>like the such a fuck you Like you could hear
<v Speaker 3>the whole crowd go ah, yes, yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Macha Man doesn't even entertain it though, He just kicks
<v Speaker 2>him and throws him back to the outside. Macha Man
<v Speaker 2>then hits his pad to double axe handle from the
<v Speaker 2>top rope to the floor straight on his leg.
<v Speaker 3>Fine, were we just talking about those show or we're
<v Speaker 3>just talking about that like together, but like, yeah, the
<v Speaker 3>Macho Man double axe to the floor or off a cage,
<v Speaker 3>like oh.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah the cage, Like no thought, just fucking on a
<v Speaker 2>rock this, I.
<v Speaker 3>Mean, I'm doing my move, Like what the fuck?
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Hart gets on the apron, Macha Man pulls him
<v Speaker 2>into the ring. Ye Honckey Tot goes for a knee,
<v Speaker 2>but Macho Man moves the knee hits Jimmy Hart, who
<v Speaker 2>bumps to the outside. Macha Man gets a sleeper on
<v Speaker 2>Honky tok Man, but Peggy Sue was now getting in
<v Speaker 2>Elizabeth's face on the outside.
<v Speaker 3>Huge pop for the sleeper hole. Sleeper was a fucking
<v Speaker 3>over move in nineteen eighty eight.
<v Speaker 2>Macho Man breaks up the sleeper and goes out to
<v Speaker 2>protect Elizabeth. Here, Honky tok Man chases after him, but
<v Speaker 2>Macho Man throws him straight into the turnbuckle post. Yez, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I like that. Uh, Like I mentioned earlier where sometimes
<v Speaker 2>you would think these cutoffs are coming, but they actually don't.
<v Speaker 2>Like Honky tonk Man chases after him, you think, okay,
<v Speaker 2>the distraction causes the cutoff, but it doesn't. Like he
<v Speaker 2>he goes out there and then Macha Man still gets
<v Speaker 2>up on him.
<v Speaker 3>I think, yeah, because he's a he's a you know,
<v Speaker 3>he's a champion, but he's a champion because he's a
<v Speaker 3>fucking he finds a way. He's not the smart one
<v Speaker 3>of the of the bunch.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just really well done work and it's like
<v Speaker 2>super like the crowd is just super into it.
<v Speaker 3>It's simple, but it's fucking working.
<v Speaker 2>Because the baby face should always look good, right, the
<v Speaker 2>baby face should always be the guy that, like you
<v Speaker 2>want to see do the shit, And like there was
<v Speaker 2>the control seg in the middle there where he does
<v Speaker 2>get him down, but now it's like, Okay, I lost
<v Speaker 2>control and now the Macha Man's fucking kicking my ass.
<v Speaker 3>And the baby always should be better at the wrestling
<v Speaker 3>part two.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, unless the heels gimmick is I'm a better wrestler,
<v Speaker 2>sure of course. Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>The ref counts to ten as Macha Man gets back
<v Speaker 2>in the ring after Macha Man threw him into a
<v Speaker 2>turnbuckle post, and we get to count out victory here
<v Speaker 2>for the Macho Man.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, but of course, as uh Jesse Ventura says McMahon,
<v Speaker 3>Mocho Man may have gotten the victory, but that's a
<v Speaker 3>count out, McMahon. That title doesn't change hands.
<v Speaker 2>So Hockey Talk Man grabs a guitar and stalks Macho
<v Speaker 2>Man with it at the end here for a while, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>a long while. He's like, you do that's crazy, dude.
<v Speaker 3>They're having like a standoff in the ring, like slowly
<v Speaker 3>moving around his hockey talks.
<v Speaker 2>You fucking think I'm gonna hit you with his guitar.
<v Speaker 1>Don't, don't, don't do it.
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Hart then hits Macho Man from behind with his megaphone.
<v Speaker 2>Fuck asshole. Hockey Tok goes to hit Macha Man with
<v Speaker 2>the guitar, but Elizabeth jumps in the ring and gets
<v Speaker 2>in front of him to save him.
<v Speaker 3>Dude, I totally expected a guitar shot to Elizabeth here
<v Speaker 3>me too.
<v Speaker 2>I expected until Vince said he was gonna.
<v Speaker 3>Hit her and then yeah, but like what an unreal
<v Speaker 3>amount of heat that would have been? Like that might
<v Speaker 3>have been a riot?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that shit. Look fuck that guitar was
<v Speaker 2>like not Jared Gimmick.
<v Speaker 3>Breaks it, It takes like a'll bitt it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah it was. Fuck. Hockey Tok goes to swing,
<v Speaker 2>but Macho Man stops it with his hands and then
<v Speaker 2>grabs the guitar and chases him out of the ring
<v Speaker 2>with it.
<v Speaker 3>Fucking some of them, bitch, let me play a song mail,
<v Speaker 3>I'm a honky tonk man.
<v Speaker 2>So Macha Man then breaks the guitar on the turnbuckle
<v Speaker 2>and he hits it the first time and it doesn't
<v Speaker 2>bust through the back. My thought is, wow, if you
<v Speaker 2>hit her with that, she would have like, I mean,
<v Speaker 2>it would have busted her ass open the long way.
<v Speaker 3>We fuck, it would have annihilated her. You should see
<v Speaker 3>this and hit Geek Rubberts with this specific guitar.
<v Speaker 2>So Macha man helps Liz into the ring and then
<v Speaker 2>raises her arm and puts Liz on his shoulder, to
<v Speaker 2>a massive reaction from the crowding.
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know, because they popped for Macho holding
<v Speaker 3>the ropes for her to get into the ring. I
<v Speaker 3>don't know if he just never let her into the ring,
<v Speaker 3>that's what it felt like.
<v Speaker 1>And he finally like, yeah, it did feel welcomed.
<v Speaker 3>Her into like let her come into his place of
<v Speaker 3>work whatever it was. Yeah, crowd out, Yeah, Like because
<v Speaker 3>that's Vince. When he does that, Vince like, oh, I
<v Speaker 3>can't believe it. Look at this, just him letting her
<v Speaker 3>into the ring. I was like, wow, this is a
<v Speaker 3>big fucking moment.
<v Speaker 1>And then great too. She was like super bashful, like
<v Speaker 1>what am I doing here? And then he put her on.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then he hoists her up onto her his
<v Speaker 3>shoulder and like she's like, super bashful is a great
<v Speaker 3>way to put it in the crowds losing their mind.
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, wow, this is like the purest wrestling thing
<v Speaker 3>I've ever seen.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the American Dream right here.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, dude, like this is awesome.
<v Speaker 2>You got your best gal in the ring and you
<v Speaker 2>you just want via count out here in front of
<v Speaker 2>thirty billion people, the largest crowd in wrestling history.
<v Speaker 1>Thirty three millionaire watching at home as well.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you got to a pre tape, Vincent, Uh,
<v Speaker 2>Jesse Ventura take us to the Pontiac Silver in March
<v Speaker 2>of nineteen eighty seven, which was the previous year here,
<v Speaker 2>and it shows us Andre versus Hogan.
<v Speaker 3>I guess the build to this is that the Heels
<v Speaker 3>are disputing that Andre beat Hogan at Mania, and they
<v Speaker 3>show the clip here and it's Hogan trying to pick
<v Speaker 3>up Andre, maybe the first time in the match that
<v Speaker 3>he did it, and Andre, you know, big Man squashes
<v Speaker 3>him and lays on top of him, and Jesse Ventura
<v Speaker 3>says that it was a three count there that while
<v Speaker 3>Andre was on top of Hogan, and Vince and Hogan
<v Speaker 3>everyone else disputes that.
<v Speaker 2>So I love the footage where you can't see if
<v Speaker 2>the ref's counting or not.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was actually pretty Jesse.
<v Speaker 2>There's no damn replays in wrestling football.
<v Speaker 3>Let's go to the footage, so they show more of
<v Speaker 3>the build here at the Capital Center in January of
<v Speaker 3>this year of eighty eight. Hogan, I guess I just
<v Speaker 3>want to match. Andre runs into the well Ron, I
<v Speaker 3>guess he's putting it nicely. Yeah, he got into the
<v Speaker 3>ring as fast as he could in a suit, and
<v Speaker 3>he grabs Hogan by the back of his head and
<v Speaker 3>head butts him and then goozles him from behind. And
<v Speaker 3>that's kind of what started the things off here. Then
<v Speaker 3>at the Colisseum in nineteen eighty eight, they have a
<v Speaker 3>contract signing on a very tiny table. This is like
<v Speaker 3>a table you just have ad a nice house that
<v Speaker 3>they use for this contract signing.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're right, like a kitchen slab table, yes, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>And it's tiny as fuck.
<v Speaker 3>They like are Brankley, like knows the nose it feels like.
<v Speaker 3>And Dbassi is there and he says, uh, well, now
<v Speaker 3>you sign the contract. Andre, put your official stamp of
<v Speaker 3>approval on it, and Hogan and Andre both standing.
<v Speaker 2>Now hold on a minute, Andre, don't sign anything from
<v Speaker 2>the WWF. McMahon I see what you're trying to do, PAULK.
<v Speaker 2>Hogan's in the ring. I see it.
<v Speaker 3>Read the fine print.
<v Speaker 2>Andre. I'm just saying, maybe don't sign anything without reading it.
<v Speaker 3>Oh, well, that sucks McMahon.
<v Speaker 2>You got him.
<v Speaker 3>So dB tells him to put the official stamp of
<v Speaker 3>approval on it on the contract, and Hogan lungeons for
<v Speaker 3>Dbasi and Andre grabs him and slams Hogan headfirst onto
<v Speaker 3>the table, which also glues Hulcogan's hands to the table
<v Speaker 3>because Andre flips the table over and Hogan goes flying
<v Speaker 3>backwards with it.
<v Speaker 2>Dude.
<v Speaker 1>He grabs that table for life, and he's like, I'm
<v Speaker 1>gonna have this go on top of me.
<v Speaker 2>Ah, his hands laying right on that carpet strip. Bro,
<v Speaker 2>he stuck to it. So we got backstage. Me and
<v Speaker 2>Gene is here with Andre Virgil and Ted Dbiassi.
<v Speaker 3>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>Virgil has a ten dollars money spread here, which is awesome, dude.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it definitely was like low budget, like low numbers.
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it was once it looked like
<v Speaker 3>fucking ones, which is fucking hilarious.
<v Speaker 1>It's funny. He's just standing there with the money spread,
<v Speaker 1>not saying a word, just looking straight at the camera.
<v Speaker 2>He looks good, dude. Wow his yeah, dude, his buys
<v Speaker 2>and tries are huge. Healer's great.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah dude. Okay. I wonder if, like, either the joke
<v Speaker 3>is that he has ones and everyone's supposed to know it,
<v Speaker 3>or the quality of TV's back then, they were like, oh,
<v Speaker 3>just fucking get ones.
<v Speaker 2>They'll maybe, I mean, Bill's look different back then. It
<v Speaker 2>could have been right, yeah, that would make a lot
<v Speaker 2>more sense. Or it could have been money man money.
<v Speaker 2>It's like ten Dvasi's face, or I like to.
<v Speaker 1>Think Virgil had to bring his own money. They're like,
<v Speaker 1>you got to get the money to night, all right,
<v Speaker 1>got ten?
<v Speaker 2>He reaches it in his pocket. I have ten dollars.
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll hold it up, spread it out. Don't
<v Speaker 2>close up on this.
<v Speaker 3>Mean Gane says, gentlemen, tonight you have a chance with
<v Speaker 3>the WA Championship. Your comments and andres standing back there,
<v Speaker 3>he does have the strap up, by the way, and
<v Speaker 3>Debasi says, chance, Andre's aren't in champ He beat Hogan
<v Speaker 3>to wrestling eight three until the referee obviously a hul Camron.
<v Speaker 2>I like that Camron. He should have sold at the restaurant.
<v Speaker 1>That's good.
<v Speaker 3>Cheated on the three count, but this time Virgil will
<v Speaker 3>keep an eye on the referee. And Devasta said that
<v Speaker 3>coward has run from Andre for a year, and tonight
<v Speaker 3>he meets the Giant and the rest is history. Mean,
<v Speaker 3>Gene says, obviously you're confident. Obviously the Giant is ready,
<v Speaker 3>and ten says, of course, He's had the finest training
<v Speaker 3>at the finest facilities that money could find. And you know,
<v Speaker 3>money makes the man, and it takes big money to
<v Speaker 3>batch up to a big man like.
<v Speaker 2>This, and you know it means Geen, I like money.
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that, Mike? Is that I have and enjoy?
<v Speaker 2>Money means Gean? Is that I on the money man?
<v Speaker 2>Do you like that?
<v Speaker 3>I understand?
<v Speaker 2>Does that work for you?
<v Speaker 3>The fucking Devasi says Hulk Hogan is always with them,
<v Speaker 3>Hulk of morons, Nickel and dime them, and Hogan is
<v Speaker 3>small change compared to Andre the Giant. Do you understand
<v Speaker 3>that I like money? Your count is overdrawing Hogan, and
<v Speaker 3>Andre is gonna close it.
<v Speaker 2>I have, buddy, your account is over on Hogan and Andrew,
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna close it. Andre, say something about money. I'm
<v Speaker 2>gonna twist his head off, rip it off, hip down
<v Speaker 2>his neck. Could you add some of my money? Oh?
<v Speaker 2>I like money? All right?
<v Speaker 3>Cool?
<v Speaker 2>All right, yeah, we're ready for it makes me happy. Okay, cool,
<v Speaker 2>thank you man. All right, We're gonna head out of
<v Speaker 2>the ring. So you got to Andre at the Giant's entrance.
<v Speaker 2>Andre megs his interest with Teddy Biassi and Virgil and
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I gotta say, big fight, feel here, pretty
<v Speaker 2>big match for a TV special. I mean Andre versus
<v Speaker 2>Hogan rematch from Mania free on in front of yeah
<v Speaker 2>free on TV on one of the biggest networks around.
<v Speaker 2>You know, you either watched this or the local news,
<v Speaker 2>So pick one. So we go backstage. Ho, Cogin is
<v Speaker 2>here with Mean Gene and uh, I mean he is
<v Speaker 2>freaking out.
<v Speaker 3>He's I mean like yeah, like, I guess this is why,
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like I could see how wrestling got popular,
<v Speaker 3>like because like these dudes are like, how do you
<v Speaker 3>not watch this? These guys are fucking crazy.
<v Speaker 1>They're insane.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like, I mean, especially yeah, Macha Man and Hogan.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So yeah, as James said, Vince sends it back
<v Speaker 3>to me Gien and Hogan. Meanian says apparently holkcan Andre
<v Speaker 3>the Giant has millions of reasons to become double a champion,
<v Speaker 3>and Hogan says, well, with all the controversies from wrestling
<v Speaker 3>a three mean gene, I've tried to keep an open mind, man,
<v Speaker 3>But I viewed the film one thousand and one times,
<v Speaker 3>Andre the Giant. You only had me down for a
<v Speaker 3>duke count. I slammed you and beat you one two
<v Speaker 3>three right in the middle. Maybe the prayers, the vitamins
<v Speaker 3>and the training is small. Change to you in multimillion
<v Speaker 3>is small. This is fucking funny. I don't know why
<v Speaker 3>he does this the whole time.
<v Speaker 2>It threw me off.
<v Speaker 3>It's small change to you, multimillion dollar man. He calls
<v Speaker 3>him multi million dollar man the whole time. Hey, you fuck,
<v Speaker 3>that's not his fucking gimmick.
<v Speaker 1>If we love that would have been a sweaky I get.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a million dollar man. I'm a multimillion dollar man.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he ever did that, right, He never
<v Speaker 1>The Hogan was just calling him.
<v Speaker 2>See this is good. He's talking about money.
<v Speaker 3>You can learn something here, he says. But I've invested
<v Speaker 3>my three assets wisely in a lifelong profit sharing plan
<v Speaker 3>with all my little Holkster's brother, I'm gonna.
<v Speaker 2>Time shared with.
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a pyramid. You know, I'm not the
<v Speaker 1>talk to all the other people at the bottom of it.
<v Speaker 2>It makes sure go down economics.
<v Speaker 3>Brother, Oh, it's a Virgil. You watch the referee. That's cool.
<v Speaker 3>All my Hoka maniacs are gonna be watching you. Then
<v Speaker 3>Andre the Giant, one on one with the whole ward watching,
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna prove to you that I could beat you,
<v Speaker 3>and Hulkamania will live forever. And he doesn't fucking bicep
<v Speaker 3>flex and he fucking slides backwards out of the frame.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, the way that he goes out is so funny.
<v Speaker 2>I love the way that everyone is like, make an exit.
<v Speaker 2>Leave it these seeds. Yeah, it's very funny.
<v Speaker 3>All right.
<v Speaker 2>So Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan here. I don't know,
<v Speaker 2>h is this the first appearance of the winged Eagle?
<v Speaker 2>I think, so, oh, well, did you see the promo? Like,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you guys got this, but the
<v Speaker 2>promo Hogan cuts. He's usually he has the old belt
<v Speaker 2>on his waist, he's got.
<v Speaker 1>The hook comes and then he comes out. He has
<v Speaker 1>the winged Eagle which I assuming they just changed, like
<v Speaker 1>because he cut the promo whenever, right with that old belt,
<v Speaker 1>the Hogan belt. And then when he actually came out
<v Speaker 1>with the Winged Eagle.
<v Speaker 3>Oh this is this is the debut with the Winged
<v Speaker 3>Eagle appeared on Fibruary first, nineteen eighty eight, during the
<v Speaker 3>main of Yeah, during the show.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, no shit, dude, Okay. I looked at it. I said, wow,
<v Speaker 2>what Yeah, that's okay, cool shout.
<v Speaker 3>I was, dude. I wasn't like, I didn't even think
<v Speaker 3>of that. Yeah, wow, that's fucking awesome.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, So anyways, first appearance of the Winged Eagle
<v Speaker 2>belt here, pretty cool, looks great, in great condition. Hogan
<v Speaker 2>hasn't had a chance to throw it straight.
<v Speaker 3>On a concrete He tried, He dude, what's with this guy?
<v Speaker 3>He always he doesn't fuck with the belts.
<v Speaker 2>There's a little proper.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, he does not care.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Hogan immediately threatens to break it over Andre's head.
<v Speaker 2>Hey wait, wait, wait wait wait, this is brand fucking new.
<v Speaker 3>Why can't I blatantly attack this guy with the title
<v Speaker 3>right now?
<v Speaker 2>Ben should have done with the NWA did and make
<v Speaker 2>you put like twenty five thousand dollars down to carry
<v Speaker 2>around the belt, and if you broke the belt, you'd
<v Speaker 2>have to pay the money.
<v Speaker 3>For Yeah, your little deposit. Fuck you don't get this
<v Speaker 3>bag of his cars?
<v Speaker 2>Dude? Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>What was Hogan thinking here? I didn't understand this at all.
<v Speaker 3>Like I get that he's pissed. He charges down to
<v Speaker 3>the ring, has the belt over his head like a
<v Speaker 3>fucking barbarian, and referee very specifically pointing out Dave Hebner
<v Speaker 3>stops him and takes the belt from Hogan, and Hogan
<v Speaker 3>is standing there like pouting and is surprised by this.
<v Speaker 3>Why the fuck can't I beat this dude? The ship
<v Speaker 3>with the belt?
<v Speaker 1>Dude?
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck? Dude? Every time I feel like every
<v Speaker 2>time we've seen Hogan recently and the matches that we watch,
<v Speaker 2>he is threatening to break the.
<v Speaker 3>Title and doing IRA exactly.
<v Speaker 2>I mean the one against Sargeant Slaughter where he threw
<v Speaker 2>it straight into the air and let it fall on
<v Speaker 2>the concrete was absolutely unhavy. Man, that's nuts.
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't care about these belts. Oh, come on, man,
<v Speaker 3>these are expensive.
<v Speaker 2>So Dbassi and Vergil are talking Andre here before the
<v Speaker 2>match starts, and Hogan ends up just saying fuck it
<v Speaker 2>and running at Andre at a hot starting well, take
<v Speaker 2>so long here, and it plays theme song the whole
<v Speaker 2>time they do it must have been.
<v Speaker 3>Because they hated Bret Hart.
<v Speaker 2>They had to be. Hogan said, keep my song playing.
<v Speaker 3>I got a lot of pandamim again.
<v Speaker 2>Got gotta dude, dude, keep the fucking song on.
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it goes forever, and like Andrea's on the apron,
<v Speaker 3>he takes forever to get in.
<v Speaker 2>Uh.
<v Speaker 3>They're talking on commentary about referee Joey Morella. I think
<v Speaker 3>he was the referee earlier for the Icy title match,
<v Speaker 3>but he was the referee, uh for sure at the
<v Speaker 3>Many three match in Jesse Ventorius. You know what, McMahon,
<v Speaker 3>I feel very good about this, So Dave Hebner is
<v Speaker 3>referring this match, not Joey Morella. I feel very good.
<v Speaker 3>I fucking hate Joey Morella, and you know what, fuck.
<v Speaker 2>Him, dude, Hogan. Also, I love this match. Every time
<v Speaker 2>Hogan rakes the eyes, dude, Jesse Ventura says, and how
<v Speaker 2>is that legal? Mcman mcmahn, you like that? What the
<v Speaker 2>fuck he does?
<v Speaker 3>Here?
<v Speaker 2>He goes again, McMahon, dude, he does na Davi v
<v Speaker 2>Tura says it every time that he does it. Everything
<v Speaker 2>time open. There he goes again with the raking of
<v Speaker 2>the eyes.
<v Speaker 3>Vince has no answer for it because he's probably like, dude,
<v Speaker 3>why is he fucking doing that? Like Hogan is doing.
<v Speaker 2>He's the only babyface I've seen in the WWF at
<v Speaker 2>the top that rakes the eyes as consistently as this.
<v Speaker 3>I swear. At one point he runs off the ropes
<v Speaker 3>and rakes his eyes.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, here he goes again.
<v Speaker 3>Hey McMahon, what the fuck he's cheeting McMahon, What are
<v Speaker 3>you doing? What else is he doing back there? Talking
<v Speaker 3>to you?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? What did you you guys have a meeting or
<v Speaker 2>something earlier? What was that?
<v Speaker 3>Did the eyes? And also not just started eating?
<v Speaker 2>So Dbasi everg or talking to Andre Hogan hot starts.
<v Speaker 2>He brings both of them in, Virgil and Ted Dbiassi
<v Speaker 2>kicks their fucking asses, two big boots to both of them.
<v Speaker 2>They both go flying over the top, right.
<v Speaker 3>Know how that works, big boot that you go over
<v Speaker 3>the top rope on, That's cool, I'll take that ship.
<v Speaker 3>Was hot?
<v Speaker 2>Crowd said hell yeah, nuts, Yeah, they went nuts. Hogan
<v Speaker 2>is now taking the heat to Andre with some punches
<v Speaker 2>here Andre is selling very very good selling for Andre,
<v Speaker 2>very good stuff. Here, Hogan does a Mongolian chop to Andre.
<v Speaker 2>He's just try and ship at this point, it.
<v Speaker 3>Is he's trying to think, what can I do other
<v Speaker 3>punches and chops? Sorry, Mogullian chop?
<v Speaker 2>How about it? Maybe I should go for this. So
<v Speaker 2>Hogan tries to knock him down with the running elbow,
<v Speaker 2>tries to hit the axe bomber. Nothing is getting them
<v Speaker 2>down here. Hogan then knocks dB I see off the
<v Speaker 2>apron and he kicks him and the money goes funny
<v Speaker 2>everywhere like sonic rings. I thought that was awesome. He
<v Speaker 2>stopped on his head, yes, yes, okay, he got him
<v Speaker 2>off the apron, and when he was down there he
<v Speaker 2>kicked him again.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was fucking He walks over, stops on Debassi's hand.
<v Speaker 3>You can't see the money, and Dbasi's hands goes up
<v Speaker 3>and Buddy goes flying. Ah, dude, that is fucking so awesome.
<v Speaker 2>So Hogan rakes Andre's eyes and then hits the line
<v Speaker 2>in the corner. Do you see what's happening, McMahon. So
<v Speaker 2>Hogan then winds up a punch and then it rakes
<v Speaker 2>the eyes again. McMahon, what is happening?
<v Speaker 3>Man? What the fuck?
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Dave Hebner wasn't a great choice. Mcman him for it.
<v Speaker 2>So Hogan goes to the top rope and Andre cuts
<v Speaker 2>him off and throws him off. Andre, dude, yeah, and
<v Speaker 2>then Andre, you're right, he's it. I'm going right, Claire,
<v Speaker 2>tonight go to the distance, brother. So Andre walks out
<v Speaker 2>of the corner here. Uh and then all right, hold on,
<v Speaker 2>hold on, let me set this up, let me set
<v Speaker 2>this up a little bit, please please. So Hogan goes
<v Speaker 2>to the top rope like Flair. Andre cuts him up
<v Speaker 2>like Flaire. And then Andre walks out of the corner
<v Speaker 2>and falls over like Flair. So Andre is down and
<v Speaker 2>goozles Hogan off the floor on his back. And then
<v Speaker 2>he gets Hogan on his back. Is goozling him because
<v Speaker 2>if you remember, remember what he should have been talking
<v Speaker 2>about money. He was talking about stapping and twisting his head.
<v Speaker 3>That he should be stuffing one dollar bills in his
<v Speaker 3>mouth as we speak.
<v Speaker 2>So Andre hardwhip's Hogan into the buckle. He falls down.
<v Speaker 2>Andre then chops him. I said, oh my god, Andre
<v Speaker 2>chops in the corner.
<v Speaker 3>He I mean, like he could have probably killed him
<v Speaker 3>with it if he wanted to. This was very nice.
<v Speaker 2>Andre then hits Hogan with a big boot and he
<v Speaker 2>even falls down while doing it.
<v Speaker 3>He I mean, I don't think that was on purpose.
<v Speaker 3>I think he just kind of lost his balance there,
<v Speaker 3>which they didn't really shoot it. So I was like,
<v Speaker 3>a dude, cameraman saved the spot, you know, like that's awesome. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>Hogan rolls to the outside, but Virgil rolls him back in.
<v Speaker 3>It didn't hit him or anything, just throws him back in.
<v Speaker 2>I like that. Jesse Ventura says that he did that
<v Speaker 2>because they didn't want to count out like the last matchad.
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna get away this way, Hogan.
<v Speaker 3>I'm onto you, Hogan every step of the way.
<v Speaker 2>So Andre then starts choking Hogan with his own strap.
<v Speaker 3>Dude, that's crazy, that's fucking crazy, Like he I've never
<v Speaker 3>seen anybody do that. He used the strap of his
<v Speaker 3>single and wrapped it around Hogan's neck.
<v Speaker 2>I said, wow, Dave Havner, se, can you please stop
<v Speaker 2>doing that? I thought you're on our side. The Hogan
<v Speaker 2>hits a fucking flying clothesline out of the corner and
<v Speaker 2>Andre finally goes down.
<v Speaker 3>He's fucking fired up.
<v Speaker 2>Hogan then goes for the leg drop, but Virgil grabs
<v Speaker 2>his leg but the ref gets distracted by Virgil after this,
<v Speaker 2>as Hogan hits the ropes on the other side and
<v Speaker 2>hits the leg drop and pins Andre for to win,
<v Speaker 2>but the ref didn't see it.
<v Speaker 3>Fucking Virgil right.
<v Speaker 2>Andre then grabs Hogan by his little hairs what he
<v Speaker 2>grabbed his ship out of his little ears and started
<v Speaker 2>head budding him to the back of the head. I
<v Speaker 2>don't got a lot of the left and then he
<v Speaker 2>hits a crazy soup lex. Andre then pins Hogan and
<v Speaker 2>the ref counts what I initially thought was like a
<v Speaker 2>fucking five count or something. Okay, me too, super over Yeah, Like,
<v Speaker 2>I think Hogan's lost on the count. Vince is lost
<v Speaker 2>on the count. I'm fucking super lost. Opin kicks out
<v Speaker 2>at like fucking one. Uh he thinks it's like three
<v Speaker 2>or two or something. At this point, the ref then
<v Speaker 2>counts three. Vince like starts saying the matches over at
<v Speaker 2>like the ref's two count, and then says, oh three, oh,
<v Speaker 2>it's over. Fuck. This is one of the most fucked
<v Speaker 2>up pins I've ever seen.
<v Speaker 3>Everyone was wrong.
<v Speaker 2>The crowd can't believe it. In Vince is just saying, Nope,
<v Speaker 2>that didn't That's not right, that is not right, didn't you?
<v Speaker 2>And I love that? I love that? Uh, Ventura said,
<v Speaker 2>the guy's only human McMahon. He can make mistakes. There's
<v Speaker 2>no instant replays in wrestling, and there's not football.
<v Speaker 3>This isn't football. And Vince's I can't believe what a
<v Speaker 3>stupid mistake that was.
<v Speaker 2>And maybe I should start my own football league dead
<v Speaker 2>with replays a bl check and Chris is there going
<v Speaker 2>to be a union for everybody in the XFL. Vince
<v Speaker 2>stop saying that. So Hebner then gives on Andre the
<v Speaker 2>belt and we are announced that we have a new
<v Speaker 2>world champion.
<v Speaker 3>Hogan can't believe it. He's fucking He keeps fucking bowing
<v Speaker 3>at his hair, which is a bad idea, it's really
<v Speaker 3>good at fuck his situation up here looking at Dave Hemner,
<v Speaker 3>he's saying that he kicks out at one and he's like,
<v Speaker 3>what the fuck, dude? Uh?
<v Speaker 2>And what.
<v Speaker 3>Dave Evener is like, Nope, that was the finish you lost,
<v Speaker 3>and he carries the belt. He goes out the ring
<v Speaker 3>carries a belt all the way around the ring. Hogan
<v Speaker 3>is yelling at him from inside the ring to the floor,
<v Speaker 3>the whole way around. And then Dave Evener goes and
<v Speaker 3>hands Andre the belt. Howard Finkele makes the official announcement,
<v Speaker 3>and mean Jane is here on the apron and yeah,
<v Speaker 3>mean Jane says, apparently you're the new champion. Andre. Andre
<v Speaker 3>is not really sure.
<v Speaker 2>I guess what's going on here? I just won the
<v Speaker 2>world title. Due he did say that.
<v Speaker 3>There's no surprise. I told you I was go to
<v Speaker 3>the World Papership. Now I shall rendered the World Championship.
<v Speaker 2>To be honest. What so there's no way that's what
<v Speaker 2>he said or meant to say, I dude, I listened
<v Speaker 2>to it a lot.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you did, Okay, he said, swear tag team the
<v Speaker 1>first time? He said, second time?
<v Speaker 3>Please, I would love to because James, not only not
<v Speaker 3>only do I did, I listen to it a bunch
<v Speaker 3>of times. I put captions on the captions say, He says.
<v Speaker 1>World.
<v Speaker 2>The World's world team.
<v Speaker 3>Platly it could be any that's the only clear thing.
<v Speaker 3>He says. Wrote tag team champion, he says.
<v Speaker 1>Then he says, World Championship.
<v Speaker 2>This is no surprise. I told you I'm going to
<v Speaker 2>win the World Tag Team Championship, and now I surrender
<v Speaker 2>the world. Okay, he definitely says I surrender the World
<v Speaker 2>Tag Toom Championship to tending me. Awesome, he says it twice.
<v Speaker 1>Well they only sub tell it once though, but yeah,
<v Speaker 1>the second time, I.
<v Speaker 3>Mean the second time, I could you could maybe get
<v Speaker 3>away with thinking he's a heavyweight, but I don't know, man,
<v Speaker 3>I saw he says tag toam champion the mother fucking timesstand.
<v Speaker 1>It's surrendering bull tag bolts to Teddy.
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty soon, I'm okay. So my third my first
<v Speaker 2>thought here is he must be going after the World
<v Speaker 2>Tag Team Championship. So like he's doing the interview and
<v Speaker 2>like he's trying to say that I promise you I'm
<v Speaker 2>going to win the Tag Team Championships, so like I
<v Speaker 2>don't want this, okay, right, But then I think, because
<v Speaker 2>he said World Tag Team Championship and he's blown up
<v Speaker 2>from after the match, that maybe he just says it
<v Speaker 2>again where he doesn't mean to, And now I surrender
<v Speaker 2>the world because like he says world, and then like
<v Speaker 2>as he says tag team, he starts to like like
<v Speaker 2>go out because I don't think you mean to say that,
<v Speaker 2>But then he says, that's gotta be it, because like, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>you're right, he does say tag team Championship twice.
<v Speaker 3>That feels right though, what like that is probably what happened,
<v Speaker 3>but that is so fucking funny, funny.
<v Speaker 2>I'm surrendering the world tag team title, Teddy the Austin
<v Speaker 2>Oh Ship. Okay, it was a one on one match.
<v Speaker 2>Are we live? Can we do that again? We're lives?
<v Speaker 2>We have another match? Okay, yeah, all right, well let's
<v Speaker 2>worry championship. Yeah, let's sorry something.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah sure, tag tea, don't worry about that next match,
<v Speaker 3>our d, he's.
<v Speaker 2>Gonna win him. Okay, all right, sure, yeah, anyways, cut
<v Speaker 2>that last match sad down here. That's funny, ship.
<v Speaker 3>He was so worried about the Brent tag more pro drummer.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, ted Dbiassi is the new world champion for now.
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, fast, they did that super fast. I always thought
<v Speaker 1>it was like long. I don't know why I didn't
<v Speaker 1>think it happened like I won the belt. Here's the bell.
<v Speaker 3>It was like the next show. I didn't realize he
<v Speaker 3>does it immediately, So okay, this is even so Andre
<v Speaker 3>says he's give me the world tag team titles. Ted
<v Speaker 3>Das gives the title, deb puts around his waist and
<v Speaker 3>then I mean, maybe I'm wrong, I swear this is
<v Speaker 3>what I heard, but I swear. Andre on the mic.
<v Speaker 2>Says, okay, give me one second.
<v Speaker 3>As he as the title's going on, dB, I swear,
<v Speaker 3>he says he does.
<v Speaker 1>He says, are you said ready the bell? Are you
<v Speaker 1>sure he's doing that?
<v Speaker 5>Yes, sir, please listen to it, Yes, sir, yes, yes,
<v Speaker 5>sir said, yes sir, that's fucking awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is under his bas this is the greatest
<v Speaker 2>moment in wrestling, all.
<v Speaker 5>Of this.
<v Speaker 3>And it only gets better.
<v Speaker 2>James, as this goes on, Oh my god, I mean
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the greatest, It comes to the greatest
<v Speaker 2>moment wrestling, Like this is like back to back to back,
<v Speaker 2>like we're slamming moments here. Crazy, all right. So the
<v Speaker 2>ref then stops Hogan from rushing dbi as Uh on commentary.
<v Speaker 2>They're talking like Jack Tony is not going to let
<v Speaker 2>that fucking happen, Like no way, We'll figure out what happens,
<v Speaker 2>but like no way fucking works. So the ref stops
<v Speaker 2>Hoging from rushing dbis Dave Hebner. Hogan then picks up
<v Speaker 2>Dave Hebner, leurns him around and bud the corner. The
<v Speaker 2>camera shot gets real close on Hogan and Vince says, well,
<v Speaker 2>what's that going on in the ring? And then yeah,
<v Speaker 2>is that if Dave Hebner or is that Dave Avener?
<v Speaker 2>It pans out into the hardcam shot and there are
<v Speaker 2>two Dave Hebners in the ring.
<v Speaker 3>This, dude, I can't imagine watching this live in nineteen
<v Speaker 3>eighty eight on a TV that is meant for nineteen
<v Speaker 3>eighty eight and staring at two Dave Eveners.
<v Speaker 1>There the fucking way there's two rests that are identical.
<v Speaker 3>That's going to be the craziest fucking thing in the history.
<v Speaker 3>This is one of the greatest moments ever to Dave.
<v Speaker 2>Evener's, dude.
<v Speaker 3>That probably was on the news, the headline.
<v Speaker 2>On the newspaper. There are two Dave Hebners. What does
<v Speaker 2>this mean for the World Wrestling.
<v Speaker 3>Federation paying them both separately?
<v Speaker 2>McMahon and the bottom down there and Jesse Ventura saying
<v Speaker 2>that he wants a union.
<v Speaker 3>Who do you sign the check to? McMahon, Dave or Dave?
<v Speaker 2>Dude?
<v Speaker 3>This is insane too. Dave Eveners are arguing, and Hogan
<v Speaker 3>is like yelling at the dibiazi passe, and he slowly
<v Speaker 3>turns back and he stops, and he stares at both
<v Speaker 3>Hebner's and he's so confused.
<v Speaker 2>What the hell Dave?
<v Speaker 3>To pantomime him trying to figure out why these two
<v Speaker 3>dudes are identical, he wipes his face and his arms
<v Speaker 3>because they also have identical faces and arms, and he
<v Speaker 3>calls over and he points in both of them.
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck, dude, who are you Dave or are
<v Speaker 2>you Dave brother? Which brother is David? Which dude is Dave?
<v Speaker 2>He goozles both Dave Evner's. Dude.
<v Speaker 3>He grabs them both up, but he's gonna kick both
<v Speaker 3>their asses. He's gonna find out who the real David
<v Speaker 3>Hebner is by kicking both their asses.
<v Speaker 2>I will find out who Dave Evner is. Dude. It's
<v Speaker 2>not Dave, Ah, it's not Dave.
<v Speaker 3>So Ogan lets both Hebner's go. He's grabbing his head.
<v Speaker 3>He's caught templating his entire life. Now he's trying to
<v Speaker 3>figure out what the fuck is going on, And it
<v Speaker 3>cuts back to the Hebner's and you can see them mouthing.
<v Speaker 3>They're both saying, I'm Dave Hebner to each other, which
<v Speaker 3>is awesome with each other. Dave Hefner is and I
<v Speaker 3>don't know if we how we find out here because
<v Speaker 3>we obviously don't watch ahead of this. But the Hebner's
<v Speaker 3>then start shoving each other and it's getting intense, and
<v Speaker 3>Hogan is watching, and then one Dave Hebner punches the
<v Speaker 3>other Dave Hebner and docks him down and then kicks
<v Speaker 3>him in the stomach, and the crowd's fucking going nuts.
<v Speaker 2>Number one.
<v Speaker 1>They think he's the good Dave Hebner, not the bad Davember.
<v Speaker 3>One Dave number one day number two, they've decided that
<v Speaker 3>the one that could fight is the Dave Hebner.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this crowd is going ape shit. This is
<v Speaker 2>the fucking craziest thing they've ever seen. They're losing it. Ye.
<v Speaker 2>Dave Hebner then kicks Dave Hebner out of the ring.
<v Speaker 2>Slip's doing it, dude, Okay, So then the Dave Hebner
<v Speaker 2>that kicked the other Dave Hebner tries to leave, but
<v Speaker 2>Hogan grabs him by his ass and then taunts to
<v Speaker 2>the crowd crazy.
<v Speaker 3>Dude forever and like yeah, he pantomimes and points like
<v Speaker 3>he points to the refor in Panamime's money, like to say, oh,
<v Speaker 3>is this that Dave Hender got paid off? The crowd
<v Speaker 3>had already decided they like this, Dave Hemner because you
<v Speaker 3>want to fight. Now Hogan is threatening to kick his
<v Speaker 3>ass and asking the crowd if it's okay.
<v Speaker 2>So Hogan then lifts up Dave Hebner. This is absolutely und.
<v Speaker 3>I could not dude, I could not believe this happens.
<v Speaker 2>Hogan lifts up Dave Hebner and then runs at the
<v Speaker 2>ropes with him gorilla crass position. Yes, runs at the
<v Speaker 2>ropes and then throws him at Virgil and Andre the Giant,
<v Speaker 2>and he overthrows and they do not catch.
<v Speaker 3>Him right on the floor, and you can see, like
<v Speaker 3>if I would, there's gotta be a slow motion version
<v Speaker 3>of it. You could see him go over their head
<v Speaker 3>and they have to like try to reach their hands
<v Speaker 3>up to catch them. And he still doesn't go Andre,
<v Speaker 3>by the way, and wanted no involvement in this because
<v Speaker 3>he lands at Andre's feet.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, Wow, I saw the hands like scrape his back
<v Speaker 2>as he was going. I was like, wow, he died. Died. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's what I thought too. He's just laying there on
<v Speaker 2>the ground. I know, He's like, mother fuck.
<v Speaker 3>Well, at least we have two daves. That's shrewed. Ye
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter.
<v Speaker 2>We still have a main event, so we need the
<v Speaker 2>other day.
<v Speaker 3>I could not fucking believe that that he that they
<v Speaker 3>didn't catch him, Like Hogan must have been so fired
<v Speaker 3>up or he didn't realize this Dame was yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>like he sends them.
<v Speaker 2>I mean he full set him, like, yeah, you really
<v Speaker 2>threw them. We gotta go, dude.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he must have. Maybe he under a stimated how
<v Speaker 3>good of a throwing a person he was.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he just hated this dude. He just dude, fuck you,
<v Speaker 2>he thought it's f.
<v Speaker 3>I've said it to you before the Zandig throwing joker
<v Speaker 3>from the Ring to the light tubes.
<v Speaker 2>Fuck you.
<v Speaker 3>You need that over this.
<v Speaker 2>Like a cute.
<v Speaker 3>This whole end segment is like legit, legendary, legit legendary.
<v Speaker 2>Like, dude, he's got him by the neck.
<v Speaker 3>He takes him up, he's got him hoisted up. He's dude,
<v Speaker 3>he's holding him high like he and he dude, he
<v Speaker 3>sprints from one side of the ring to the other
<v Speaker 3>and launches him. Maybe he thought they'd be further back
<v Speaker 3>and he was just going, but dude, Dave hits the
<v Speaker 3>floor and fucking dies.
<v Speaker 6>Wow, here, dude, at least he at least he hits
<v Speaker 6>Andre's arms, so like there's a little bit where he
<v Speaker 6>stalls out, but he ends up underneath tedd.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean just talk about back to back to
<v Speaker 2>back greatest moments of wrestling. Yes, it's not done, noat
<v Speaker 2>all time. So we go to commercial and come back
<v Speaker 2>to a tag team match in the ring. I said,
<v Speaker 2>what we have like two minutes left?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Vince's we'll be back with a mar and I'm like,
<v Speaker 3>what the fuck could be more? It's got to just
<v Speaker 3>be the Hogan promo. Yeah, we're back Strike Force of
<v Speaker 3>Rick Martel and Tito Santana, who I think are the
<v Speaker 3>tag champions. Yeah, that's right, making their entrance Hard Foundations
<v Speaker 3>already in the ring, and I'm like, I'm looking, legit.
<v Speaker 3>Two minutes left on the peacock feed. I was very confused.
<v Speaker 2>Two minutes left and they say we have to go backstage.
<v Speaker 2>I said, oh, how does this work?
<v Speaker 3>Vinces Hogan's backstage with me? And Gene. And I'll tell
<v Speaker 3>you I've never seen anything like that before. Vinces me
<v Speaker 3>and gen Okalon is standing by with me and Jen.
<v Speaker 2>I swear I heard Jesse vinturgo.
<v Speaker 3>Huh so mean Jean says, all right, Vincent Man bedlam
<v Speaker 3>in pandemonium, Huk Hogan, I'm sure, uh there's gonna be
<v Speaker 3>a thorough investigation of what happened here to night. And
<v Speaker 3>I know you couldn't be any more disappointed. And Hogan
<v Speaker 3>Hogan is like, might as well be crying. Hogan says,
<v Speaker 3>how much money did they spend on the plastic surgery? Man?
<v Speaker 2>I had all the bases covered, I had a whole comedia.
<v Speaker 2>I was watching TV as I had virtual on his place.
<v Speaker 3>Never in my waters dreams, mean Gene, would I think
<v Speaker 3>I would get wrapped off by a penny pension two time?
<v Speaker 2>And referee? How much money on the plastic surgery? How
<v Speaker 2>much money did he pay the referee off?
<v Speaker 3>When the way in the background after starting, Yes, when
<v Speaker 3>I turn around, mean Gene, they were identical.
<v Speaker 1>I did it.
<v Speaker 2>God.
<v Speaker 3>Look at the shoulder, brother, Look at the shoulder the
<v Speaker 3>referees paid off, brother, Look at the hundred dollar bills
<v Speaker 3>falling out of his pockets. They're replaying The Finish Year
<v Speaker 3>as Hogan is watching it, I guess on the screen,
<v Speaker 3>look at the shoulder, dude, look at the pockets, brother, dude.
<v Speaker 3>He walks off screen.
<v Speaker 2>Dude. The cadence of the last part is so fucking
<v Speaker 2>funny because he's like crying right like he lost the
<v Speaker 2>WF title. It's like, it's look at the hundred dollar
<v Speaker 2>bills fall off of his pocket. He's got their hands
<v Speaker 2>on his head, out of his pocket.
<v Speaker 3>Man Hendy eggs. Hendy asks, Wow, much did they spend
<v Speaker 3>on the plastic surgery?
<v Speaker 2>I find myself saying that randomly, just all the time,
<v Speaker 2>just randomly saying that it's so fucking funny. How much
<v Speaker 2>money did they spend?
<v Speaker 1>Man, Dude, it's so hilarious, Like that's the only explanation
<v Speaker 1>for this.
<v Speaker 3>There's not there's no way he had a brother.
<v Speaker 1>There's no twins, there's no brother. Yeah, Like, there has
<v Speaker 1>to be some guy up the street they gave plastic
<v Speaker 1>surgery to spend on it.
<v Speaker 3>Well, this dude's the multimillion dollar man, Tony. It is
<v Speaker 3>completely plausible that he had enough money to This guy
<v Speaker 3>looked like Dave Evder.
<v Speaker 1>After the plastic surgery. You probably spent all of his money.
<v Speaker 1>He's just a millionaire.
<v Speaker 3>Now he's back to just the millionaire.
<v Speaker 2>Who was this union scab raft mcmaan.
<v Speaker 1>If we had a union in this ref, shit wouldn't happen.
<v Speaker 3>You don't have contracted refs McMahon.
<v Speaker 2>Who is this?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so dbasi is I don't think of fish like
<v Speaker 3>I don't think in the record books a show he's
<v Speaker 3>not champion, right. I think andre they recognize his title
<v Speaker 3>and then like it's a one less than one day reign,
<v Speaker 3>and then the belts held up and they do a
<v Speaker 3>tournament for the title wrestling a four, right.
<v Speaker 2>I believe that's right? Gotcha? Anyway? Back for the tag match? Yeah, man,
<v Speaker 2>we got Strike Force versus the Hart Foundation. Here, I'm
<v Speaker 2>to single it over the times.
<v Speaker 3>Very interesting. Look, I like it.
<v Speaker 2>Brett hits a polo driver for it too, and we're
<v Speaker 2>all out of time.
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't fucking believe it because like I was like, wow,
<v Speaker 3>pile driver, that's awesome. I thought it was gonna be
<v Speaker 3>pile Driver one, two, three, and then we're out it
<v Speaker 3>was pile Driver. Well, the show's over. Where you're gonna go?
<v Speaker 3>See you so long from Indianapolis.
<v Speaker 2>I said, what, dude, I've never I've never seen a
<v Speaker 2>commentary team rip their headphones off as quick as were
<v Speaker 2>here they go here, I'm not watching this, Dan.
<v Speaker 3>They do a wide shot Vinces so long from Indianapolis, Indiana.
<v Speaker 3>They do the widest shot ever, And if you squint
<v Speaker 3>close enough, you can see Brett doing a sunset. Rick
<v Speaker 3>Martell's stopping him and stacking them high.
<v Speaker 2>And then winning. I mean, interesting, nuts that was.
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if there's a story to that. I'm
<v Speaker 3>trying to see if there's any reason why.
<v Speaker 1>The Hogan stuff with the two Hebner gimmick win over.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure eight it had to go overtime.
<v Speaker 3>Wikipedia says that the match was still in progress when
<v Speaker 3>NBC signed off in twenty fourteen, when the w B
<v Speaker 3>network was made available this episode made available this episode
<v Speaker 3>to its ontoman section. The ending of this match was
<v Speaker 3>added in. Oh, the actual feed doesn't show the finish
<v Speaker 3>like that part was added in for the network.
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, yes, so they're coming off.
<v Speaker 3>And all is not actually included in the real feed. Sure, okay,
<v Speaker 3>that makes more.
<v Speaker 1>Sense, But that's I mean, it's like a wild way
<v Speaker 1>to end the show like, Oh, we're on the time,
<v Speaker 1>we gotta go kind of thing. You know, WW did
<v Speaker 1>it a lot like, but they never did it in
<v Speaker 1>the middle of a match like that. I don't think right,
<v Speaker 1>I do a.
<v Speaker 2>Cage match in like a month between Strike Force and
<v Speaker 2>Randy Savage and the Heart Foundation and the Hockey Talk
<v Speaker 2>Man like six man silk cage match. Whoa wow? What
<v Speaker 2>the fuck?
<v Speaker 3>Holy shit? That sounds awesome. This was a great show.
<v Speaker 2>It was Yeah. I had a good time.
<v Speaker 3>The both matches were fun. Even the third match was fun.
<v Speaker 3>I got to see the finish show. But the presentation
<v Speaker 3>is fun like it's definitely a time capsule wrestling, Like
<v Speaker 3>all this doesn't exist anymore in this kind of manner,
<v Speaker 3>like how people consumed wrestling and enjoyed it a crowd
<v Speaker 3>wise presentation wise too, I guess you could say, and
<v Speaker 3>like the matches were had a tony heat and everything
<v Speaker 3>was simple and I mean this and this was fun.
<v Speaker 3>I enjoyed this thoroughly. Before we go here, let's I
<v Speaker 3>want to bring back up the Observer because I mentioned
<v Speaker 3>that earlier from February fifteenth, nineteen eighty eight. Meltzer writes,
<v Speaker 3>quote unquote there's two Dave Hebner's in that ring. Meltzer says,
<v Speaker 3>all I can say is I hope whoever came up
<v Speaker 3>with that finish got a nice bonus in this week's paycheck.
<v Speaker 3>Meltzer says, it's been thirty three years since pro wrestling
<v Speaker 3>had been on TV a TV network during primetime, which
<v Speaker 3>is I didn't realize that. That's pretty crazy. Well, wrestling
<v Speaker 3>still hasn't been there, but once again Titan Sports appears
<v Speaker 3>to have come out smelling like a rose. He says,
<v Speaker 3>they accomplished what they set out to accomplish, and presenting
<v Speaker 3>pro wrestling was obviously not in their plans. They got
<v Speaker 3>the title from Holkogan without having the do a job,
<v Speaker 3>Andre wasn't hurt, WrestleMania was set up, and most of all,
<v Speaker 3>they ended the show with an angle so bizarre that
<v Speaker 3>it diverted everyone's attention from the few weaknesses in the show.
<v Speaker 3>Most of all, the sleight of hand finish distracted everyone
<v Speaker 3>and stunned them long enough so there was no threat
<v Speaker 3>of a riot. And that was a stroke of genius,
<v Speaker 3>because doing a screw job title stealing from a babyface
<v Speaker 3>as over a Hogan could easily escalate into an out
<v Speaker 3>of control situation. This the Friday night to NBC show.
<v Speaker 3>The main event drew a sixteen point one rating twenty
<v Speaker 3>six share, which translated makes it the most widely watched
<v Speaker 3>wrestling match in the history of the United States Meltzers.
<v Speaker 3>I'll go into detail but the rating next time, But
<v Speaker 3>basically it was an average rated primetime show, although it
<v Speaker 3>did a lot better than MC normally does with the
<v Speaker 3>bomb Rags to riches in that slot. There were NBC
<v Speaker 3>folks who were talking top five or top ten for
