Revisiting WWE NXT 2010 Episode #1, Reality TV Show, The Next Evolution Of WWE, Rookie Daniel Bryan With Pro The Miz vs Pro Chris Jericho Wi

DEADLOCK: A Pro Wrestling Podcast

We are wild and young! We have just begun! Mr. McMahon announced 3 weeks ago that WWE ECW was no longer going to be on TV. In its place was the “Next Evolution Of WWE!” This new show was called WWE NXT and it would feature current WWE Superstars as Pros and current FCW wrestlers as Rookies. It was a competition show that would eventually feature a game show style format with such games as chugging soda! However, we look back on the very first episode of NXT that is centered around Daniel Bryan being an internet darling dork and him not getting along with his pro The Miz! The main event features a great match between Chris Jericho and Daniel Bryan with some terrific wrestling. We also get hype packages for most of the rookies to learn a little more about their characters. This was a wild experiment in television history, that for good or bad, will not be forgotten. Plus, the boys have another Top 5 Draft, this time about Fast Food establishments.

Aft. Oh, let's go, much much requested return of the deadlog draft.
We kind of forgot about it. Indeed, what happens here? What
are we doing this week? James? Oh, I don't know. Actually,
all right, has a good idea, Tony? Well, yeah,
we had a couple ideas flowing around there, but I think we landed on
top restaurants fast yea food chains. Yes you are joking. Yes, I
forgot we said too many. We did say. A bunch of fast food
is fast food joints is what we're gonna go with. Here, and uh,
how do we decide who goes first? I don't remember how we did
this last time. Tony made a thing that he fucked up before, so
he should get first, which I completely disagree with. I do too.
I think what we should do is play Rock Paper scissors thirty times in a
row, and then I will delete the video, but I will leave at
number twenty six, and then I will be done. Well, I understand
that you have many other obligations. Alright, ready on three, say rock
papers there's one two three rock rock alright, I win. I win.
He said it first. That's like the shield. We just did the Shield
Talk Great moment podcast. I guess Tony one. I'll give him that,
alright. I mean you call it right down the middle. All right,
great, I'll take I'll take first as well. Hell I'll go second.
Then I guess. All right, so some media, then Johnny the James
will go. This could be and then James and the new or is it
still always you from a snake? We can snake it if you want.
I want to do it like DC Defender Downe, Like all right, we'll
snake it, will snake it, all right. Number one, let's see
here we got some pizza, we got chicken, we got all kinds of
stuff here on the list. You're setting the you're setting the bar here right
now, because I mean all I will let you know all my options are
bad. No one's gonna agree with my list. This is just all personal
for me, all right, My, my, my first draft here has
got to be a favorite of ours, and that's got to be the cookout.
Shit, you don't live here. You don't live here. You don't
have any local fruit places, you don't live here. You made a list
of you my favorite rests. No, I like cookout. Tony's had cookout
and he's he could have cook out, cookout what whatever? Have that?
Bro? Whatever? Man, you get bad. You could pick anything.
There's anything, bro, for real, Come on, you can pick anything
cook out that's not yours. Then I was lied to, but that's from
where I live. Okay, Well, my first pick here, Tony's gone
with cooking. I'm gonna have to go with boj Angles. My number one
pick. This is this is this is unbelievable. They're snaking it back.
So you get another pig, all right, So places, James, I
don't know what biscuit, bro, Come on the brisket is really game change.
And I think I'm gonna be moving all the bouj Angles to are to
Philadelphia areas anymore. Yeah, Northeast. Thing I'm gonna take Chipotle is good.
Devil like that. I mean, you know it's not bo Angles or
have a very believil answer that I'd like to give you. Don't you do
it? You have forced my hand to me, dude, not real.
You picked Chipole over Cudobo, though you picked I mean I do. I
got mos too. If I want to switch up off Chipotle, I probably
go. I probably got Mose first. Think it's most of the local joint
over there. No, most just yells at you when you walk in the
door, welcome, and sometimes I need that interaction. You know, are
you south east? Doesn't that supposed to be southwest? You're really breaking.
I mean you want Chipotle obviously, but you guys, yeah, very good.
I like that Bob biscuit and you got the bow jangler. Think you
would you think you would keep it regional. But I understand, all right,
keep it moving, okay, you will go again. I am about
to unleave. Listen, let's let's you got a big places you like,
okay, all right, you know what, you know, Chipotle a number
one because I was snaked out of my two other choices that's one mile from
my outside. Both the choices are gone, but I'll probably go, I'll
go five guys. Whoa, Okay, that's expense, Okay, yeah,
yeah everything else you five guys that much? Yeah, the hamburgers are awesome.
They are fucking pretty good. Like if your delivery, if you deliver
you from five guys, I try to stay away from the fries on delivery
because it just makes the bag so fucking crazy. That's like a dude,
I hate the fries. That's my Yeah, someone should really, I mean
there really needs to. Maybe we should invent this because fast food fried delivery
has been in a fucking horrible state of affairs for years. Always, every
time, every time, you know what's insane. Actually, you know you
speaking to every McDonald's supposed to drink in the bag, they put everything in
the bag. You get a mcflurry in the bag. Yeah, I've had
they give you a bag holder or there's like a couple in a bag.
Yeah, but you know the people from like uber eats do just throw the
bag. Yeah, I've opened up with McDonald's back so many times and like
drink all over everything people, and you're like, you're they you'r uber.
Guys are fucking crazy. They either just like fucking leave it all the way
in the street, or they throw it at your house or they steal it.
Yeah, piece set away with this. I'm gonna go for my number
two. I'm gonna go with Popeyes. I love me some Popeyes, big
pop icy chicken from Popeye's. Guy. I love the fries as well.
Uh, they also have a fucked up situation with delivery of the fries.
But I love me some Popeyes. So I'm gonna I was, I was.
I've been eating a lot of KFC late, but Popeyes, I think.
Yeah, so yeah, alright, alright, what do you got doing
your second? Alright? My number two is a staple of anybody like you
can put us anywhere on the list actually, but number two is sheets.
I have to put sheets on my list because wow, big big sheets.
Gay Also, dude, what his name? Places? I like, what
is the problem? Literally? Sit man, I got nothing for you.
Man, that's crazy. Now, we got some on the list. We
got some, you know, I hear you. You want to you want
to name Smithfields Barbecue nuts. Oh that's great. I didn't have that one.
I've never been there, so I don't know. Yeah, you haven't
taken us. There's all right, all right, Tony, you go again,
all right, as far as like fast, I'll stay away from your
neck of the wood. Listen, do not be intimidated by him, the
son of a bitch. Maybe there every time, maybe there is one more
fucked up answer, and I want at least the most evil. There's this
place called Smithfield jar I've heard of this barbecue. I do not know about
that. I'm gonna go with Ponchero's. It's a local. It's kind of
like Chipotle a keba, but it's better. I don't know why I would
think that is it's local. It's mid West voice Midwest. See, I
feel like we would watch thought of that. Yes, No, it wasn't
a thing. It was a it was a local thing. Because James,
I think you stop stealing my things. That was almost was how I sounded.
That was a very great impression them all the time. Okay, so
you give me something danger close to my voice. Potchers is awesome. They
mix all the ship together before they put in your Britos, so it's a
way better. I just love that ship. That was good. It's good
ship. Oh like cold Stone Creamery. Yes, very That's exactly how I
describe it. They blended the table. Yeah, how he know? Damn
idea? That all right? All right for my third pick? As a
third pick, I believe right, Yeah, I have no rest for myself.
Uh So, really, anything on my list you really shouldn't take into
consideration. I'm I'm really bottom of the barrel food guy. But I I
could not do this to uh child, teen or adult Johnny if I didn't
put McDonald's on my list. I mean, I just love I love me
something. I mean, it is a place that I eat all the time,
but I get it all the fucking time. I love McDonald I could
throw a football to the McDonald's near It's unbelievable, bro. I mean,
I love the McDonald's fries. That's very good. I don't know, favor
I don't know it's is that your favorite fry? This different list? We
can't do fry list yet. Pretty good, pretty damn fries, I think
so too. Um So that was my third McDonald's is going on my list.
Okay, well I'm going to choose yes, don't, don't do it
Tony China Star Restaurant. Okay, they make Chinese food and I like it
a lot. Is that your favorite Chinese place? And Raleigh? Yeah,
it is just because it's like right beside the CBS. Sure, it's right
beside the CBS and a gas station and it is rocking. I respect that
shit. Okay, I like that a lone. All right, you get
another one, James number four pick. Oh good, okay, Um,

You know, every so much Street's been taken, so figure out something
else here. Um, I'm sorry, I like, no, you should

having so many good options. Really, I know, I got ship near
me. You were right the mid of Us slack it, you got it
all. I'll take Jersey Mikes. Oh do you like that sloppy Jersey mic
sauce they put all over those dude, they have like crazy sandwiches. Yeah,
they're good. That is fucking I respect that. Okay, I'm trying.
Okay, my fourth pick. I'm trying to figure out because I have
I don't really have a pizza option on here, so I feel like I
gotta go with some type of pizza option here. All right, Well i'll
here. I'll just say for arguments sake, I did have Pizza Hut here
because I love pizza, and I would if I have Pizza Hut, and
taking this as if I now owned Pizza Hut, I would bring back dining
in it Pizza Hut, because god damn it, man, why is there
no dining in pizza places anywhere? There is? Is there one around you,
James? Yeah, they do not have that here near me? To
have? Was that pizza that a buffet two or something? Yes, dude,
fucking all you can eat? It was like, yeah, that's fucking
unbelhead has nothing mind minds all drive through and to Yeah, I love Pizza
Hut. I'm a fucking personal pants on bitch. I love that fucking shit.
The breadsticks I'm a big fan of. I love me some pizza,
but sidebar uh four sons pizza in Philly is my favorite. I like the
fucking floppy boy kind of pizza. Um, I don't know, I don't
know what I feel like I don't know if that's called like New York style.
I don't know New York style James, but I like that Salvias,
the Four Sons in Philly, I like a lot. But Pizza Hut is
going on my list for by number four. I gotta get some chicken up

a frosty like every time you go. It's awesome. Absolutely. Yeah,

fucking thing. You know, I know you hate redheads, dude. Back
in the day, Wendy's used to have a buffet too, where they'd have
like a salad bar and stuff yellow Wendy's. I would have weds but yellow
Wendy. Yellow Wendy's is crazy. You're right, that's true. I like

Sandwis. Last time. Tony didn't like the coffee as much from sheets as
he did from Duncan. So we go with Duncan. I mean, here's

Yeah. Was that was that Chicago? Yeah that was Chicago, the same
Chicago. Yeah. We wanted to this fast week place called the sand Loot,

shouting that there he is calling the cops. James is a cop, Call

We pull up and I was like, this is the movie And then I
step inside and there's like movie member building on the walls. I said,
this can't be And then or the food and it's like thirty five dollars.

the horse from Gumby. All right, now it's time to uh, time
to get into w w E n XT number the very first one they ever
did. Feb Yes was a hot year for pro wrestling. By the way,
just let you know who are you letting know this? Just trying to
tell himself that because not even he believes that, No fucking way. Why
would you lie to yourself like this. Well, before we get the show
that Tony picks to make sure you remember that too wanted you to watch this.
He told me this savage year given me you picked that we get into.
Let's make a look at the wrestling US ever news from around that time.
We cover this area a little bit. I forget why the funk I
had already some notes on this, but I'll try to dance around. I
want to talk a little bit about the intro to n X to hear um
from Observer, February twenty second, twenty ten. WWE will introduce its first
reality show since Tough Enough, on February twenty third from Milwaukee w n XT
on Sci Fi as a new way of getting the audience familiar with new talent.
The show is said to be based on The Ultimate Fighter and Tough Enough
will introduce eight new wrestlers from Florida Championship Wrestling and use the reality format to
try to make them stars. Keep in mind that the reality format. Vince
McMahon says, these kids crash and burned a lot. By putting them into
this environment, we'll find out if they can make it. There's no better
way to develop skills than being in front of an audience, and that makes
for good television. ECW feels old and feels tired. Sometimes our brands need
freshening up. You have to continue to invent yourself. Who said this,
Vince McMahon in twenty ten. That's a crazy dude. These kids crash and
burn a lot. He said, Wow, I guess so, yeah,
like guys are turning through developmental Yeah, you know on television, everyone on
the show is making sure you know that these guys suck, these guys are
Yeah, because we actually burn them, even the guys they attempt to put
over, Like Brian, this whole show, it's just somebody else saying well
he focus on. From the Observer March first, twenty ten. There's a
thing here. Have you either of you played the Samurai Warriors game. You
know that. You know about this. You heard about this. I don't
know about that one woe long falling dynasty. It is not whoa long full
No, and you're not playing that. No one is playing that. Indeed,
Samurai Warriors was like a hack and slash thing I think was on It
might have be a rixbox, I think, but it was on PS two.
I know that, but just the weird there. So the Samurai Warriors
video game is promoting shows on March sixth and seventh at the Saitama Super Arena.
The shows have name wrestlers dress up in due pros like matches using the
identity of characters in the video game, but there are some interesting matchups.
The first night was Kiji Moto against Ka and Sorry, Kiji Muto and Kai
against Kojima and Kazaiyaji, Masira Chono versus Akira Massa, Katsu Funaki versus Shuji
Kondo, Takiyama, Cigaretta, and Haroshima versus Ooki Abushi and Ishi Mori.
This is crazy as hurt Shuji Kando and forever. Yeah, here's the card
crazy But yeah, that's that was the first night of fucking uh the show.
So they all dressed up his characters from the game and wrestle. That's
crazy, unbelievable. I remember I when I was trying to come up with
my move set when I was training. Yeah, I kept trying to do
the pop up fucking power slam thing that Shuji Kando used to do and show.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, when
you look at it, you don't think much of it, but you know,
the guys don't give you a lot. You gotta really throw them up
there, you know what I mean. Like pretty strong, fucking, very
very strong. Jersey All Pro on March twentieth and Rahway New Jersey features Samoa
Joe versus Kazuko Okada, which they put here in New Japan. Wrestler currently
in TENA, but I doubt he'll get any chance to do this kind of
match in TNA that he'll get to do in a main event here as well.
As Teddy Hart and Jack Evans against Generation Meat. These guys will none
of these guys will ever make it. Sadly, we will never see any
of these this. Okay, this is I was so excited. I was
so excited to tell you guys this, because this is unfucking believable. We
made a joke about this, and I cannot believe that it was we were
actually telling the truth. The Orlando Jordan bisexual angle was originally on the books
for WWE in two thousand and six. Yeah, that's right, I'll cook
you know. Buffalo Spudge blaming WWE for that angle was real. Yea,
that is so fucking unbelievable. I fucking I had to read this four times
to make sure I wasn't going crazy. They had picked out the guy and
Trinity was to be the girl. This is a w w E. It
was set for the relaunch of EW as an intention getting device, when the
idea for ECW was to be an Internet only product. Melton right, in
hindsight, Can you imagine what a disaster that would have been trying to tour
with an Internet only product? Yeah? I know, right, No,
it's crazy, you know? Crazy about that? Is? I feel like
shaming man like politic for that for like twenty years when like, yeah,
and did it. You're right? Really, yeah, you're right. Melson's
anyway, Jordan ended up getting himself fired for things having to do with real
life application of the gimmick before it even got started. The gimmick got off
to a bad start, as both TENA Management and Spike management weren't exactly thrilled
with the guy rubbing all over him and slowly rubbing around his crotch. By
the way, the guy with him is the same guy who ended up getting
him fired from WWE, so it's not an actor playing the role. They
showed the guy and the woman coming the ring with him, but everything else
was edited and hints no hints of bisexuality were even given on commentary. The
woman is an Illinois area valet who goes by the name of Santana Gee for
High Voltage Wrestling. So I just that gimmick being a thing that he wanted
to do in WWE. It's never wrong, you know. It wasn't the
bisexual thinking of Tena either. He just he's in the nightclubs. Yeah,
he was just h he's a party guy. Yeah, he's just a lot
of friends. Yeah, Taz was seeing him in the nightclubs or something.
H in ww News, District Court in Lynn, Massachusetts decided against proceeding any
further with the Orton case from January ninth, after the Boston Show, where
Orton was accused of spitting gum in the face of a fifteen year old who
asked for his autographed after he was leaving Calhoun's restaurant. The official reason was
no problem calls found. Essentially there was not enough editence to go forward.
I thought this was pretty funny after seeing the MGF thing. That's what I
say. It sounds like, yeah, Mark Jin Drek wants we had out
with mg It's the Domino thing. It's the Mark Jindrak to MJF Domino shit.
Very similar. Actually, look they look alike too. Maybe he is
just Mark Jindrak. Oh yeah, they probably have the same body right now,
dude, they're both pretty really yeah. The erection of perfection, that's
right, that's a good giving the Observer from Mark twenty ten and UFC News,
James, I know you'd be excited about that. Oh, of course.
Frank Mir found himself in the center of controversy over remarks made on Mark
Madden's radio show where he said that he wanted brock Lessner to be the first
person to die in an Octagon related death exactly. The comments caused an opera
and then questions, uh and questions. Given that many fighters of youth terms
like I want to kill him and I want to murder him in pre match
hype, including Lesner himself and building up the second Mirror fight, the term
octagon related death struck a nerve, and when Dana white Room returned from Australia,
he was so mad that he wanted Mirror to become one of the first
mad him and fighters to walk the proverbial plank. So I guess he just
said he wanted him to die in an octagon related death. That was the
issue. I can't imagine it's not so fired up, that's pretty yeah.
Yeah, what would an octagon related death be other than you killing him like
the octagon falls on him. That Gil, You're right, probably not.
It's probably you know, Harley Davis is the official guy. Maybe it has
something to do with that. Yeah, well, you know Miller, Miller's
not giving him enough money, so he's gonna drink the cours of course,
and more UFC news for you, James, your man Chuck Liddell as in
the news here are You're gonna love? You're gonna love this one. This
is uh. I think this is gonna make you like him even more.
There was also a strange Chuck Ladell video that surfaced on YouTube this past week.
The video included a hot, naked blonde woman reported as his current girlfriend
in a gym doing cardio, and then Ladell showed up, also naked and
started working out on various machines a hack squat machine, as well as doing
pull ups at his house with his naked girlfriend. They're both doing naked ex
squats. Pretty insane. The video, which was reported to be for an
internet marketing campaign by Reebuck, which Ladell has sponsorship with, was pretty quickly
taken down. The naked hag squat was for Lee Brock No Shoes. Are
you sure ReBs didn't want naked chuckolate Dell his girlfriend ax squatting. Maybe Chugglydell
sent them the wrong video. They just put it up and asked her like
do some shadow boxing in the gym, and then his girl got together did
naked ax squats like I said, he created CT so yeah, he definitely
had some the twenty ten Live four Lives by twenty two and many videos like
this and TNA news. Bischoff also claimed Paul Cogan was offered the Mickey Rourke
role in The Resolute Haul Cogan no way. Yeah, it was a Metallica
too. That's is true. Bischoff said Hogan did turn then the roll.
It was offered him by one of the agents at Metallic Dude a sudden.
It was turned down by his agency when they reapt my comedy. Hogan has
some affiliation with a group called Micro Championship Wrestling, which is touring. They
are still Yes, we were, They're on i WTV. Were this wouldn't
be the same group that Spike has ordered a few TV shows from as the
group was Puppet and TiO, who we found out is one of our friend's
uncles who were used in the National teen eight Days. This group's big star
is meat Ball, who was the three hundred pound obese guy who used one
eye. They're taking a pilot on March fourth and Nashville at the Impacts in
a Bishop and Jason Hervey are looking at shopping the pilot around but Hogan is
cutting promos for the group. I have not have you watched any of micro
championship wrestling like the Hogan era, M yeah, you micro Championship Wrestling.
And then there was what was it? It was like a game came around
at the same time. I remember. It's like some connected event you're talking
about. It was that the Connect one. Yeah yeah, that game was
too Yeah, yeah that was nuts. I never played it. Yeah yeah
I played. It was rough just because the connect Yeah yeah, because how
do you play? Like what did you do? Oh? It has like
certain movements that you do to do the move or whatever, you know where
you because it connected. It's not like you had like a super robust like
you couldn't like move around and do stuff, you know what I mean.
It was like, yeah, you could trigger different things with your movements.
So yeah, okay, your body slam you know you do with your arms?
Okay, okay do the arm thing? Yeah really okay, no body
slam you do they talk about and do the body slam? That sounds pretty
cool. Yeah, connected was dogs should I remember trying to play like some
rafting game where you go down water and a raft and then like you move
left and right, and it was so terrible exactly. You know what,
Grandma, at least you got the ice cream Superman ice cream. Uh.
You know, it's crazy because like that era of connect sucks so bad.
And then like the next generation they said everything's going to be Connect related it.
I think they they just came out the ps VR two. Is that
like some No, that's like, no, that's better, that's VR.
You know it didn't Connected was total gimmicky. Yeah. The last piece of
news here in NXT News this week is the week they figured out that Michael
Tarvis finisher and Big Shows finisher are the same and that Tarver's entire character needs
the punch as his finishing since he's doing a boxer gimmick. But Big Show
has residents with the finisher. So Michael tar fucked. At the beginning of
Michael Yes had a finish. Yeah, it was the one point nine knockout
pudge. Remember he was the knockout guy. Anyway, Big Show, a
Big Show didn't have this move called the choke Slim that he could have just
done. Dude. Remember he started doing the spear and I'm like, what
the fuck are you doing? Spear? He started doing Yes, oh,
man, I want to talk about that A big show. We never have
to cover that, man, Holy or they tried to fucking co op the
yes chance and say it was just it was it was Stephanie, A big
show came up, ship locks some terrible memory. For I can remember,
John, you're talking about the Hull cokean movie thing that the director game.
I said, for the record, the role was always Bicky Roic. It
was never Hull Coke. That's see, that's not true either, because Nicholas
Cage was going to be the wrestler guy. Well, for the record,
to fuck you all, He's never wrong, dude, even when I'm wrong,
I'm right, Brotheryeah, what was supposed diculous Gage Wich would have been
a ridiculous wrestler movie. If Nicholas would have been awesome, Nicholas Cage and
Nick Gauge in the same building, I would have rocked my world because at
that time, now Nick Cage would have been in jail at that time.
Where you go. That is it for the observer, And let's speak of
tremendous eras of wrestling. Let's talk about the first episode of n x G.
All right, now it's time to get into n XT Young. So,
guys, if you remember three weeks earlier, three weeks earlier, Vin
sick Man said, uh, ECW is dead, and now the new evolution
of pro wrestling is going to begin in three weeks. That's the next evolution.
That's how they That's how they ended it, just by Vince coming out
on the stage and saying, ECWS was that one Ezekiel Jackson retained the title
or whatever he wanted for the first time versus ohoh that's right, yeah,
okay, and then Vince said, okay, yeah. Wild and Young by
the famous group American Bang is the song for n XT American band song by
the way, like Nashville of course, Um wait, what you like the
song? That's a good song. It's like a nostalgia hit. You know.
You just hear it and brings back all the good memories of it.
I'm gonna tell you right now, man, I ain't got that. I
gotta I gotta lose you for I really liked this intro. I'm digging it
a lot. Let's go, man, that's insane. I was like a
nostalgia thing. I just I've never no nostalgia for this. It's like,
right when I was getting retube, you know, because twenty ten was when
I started YouTube, and then you were doing Starcade. Bro No, that
was twenty eleven, young Starcade. Starcade was so base. I gotta tell
you, you really did yourself with book. Now it's like, well just
wait NXT or NXC. Starcade is coming back this year. Ah shit,
Hey you want to do a crossover with us? Oh yeah, we're booking
it right here, right now. You pro over here, Undertaker. Well,
American band only put out one album and it had that song on it,
and then they stopped doing albums, so that's all right. They probably
got that de WB money, so you know, and then they turned into
another band called the Cadillac Three. I guess they lost a member on this
thing. I see four, but what happened to the other guy? So
eight rookies, eight NXC rookies, eight w B Pro's one dream. Well
here's the lineup for NXC Season one at his skip Chef field with William Regal
Skip Sheffield will go on to be the right back. Uh and he about
please going a long way Shadow band on Twitter Elon Muss he is asking please
free he has one million followers. He should be getting more than fifteen lights.
It doesn't have anything to do with his protein he promotes every hour on
Come on bro. We have Darren Young with hair with uh see him punk
with hair who looks just like me, Justin Gabriel with Matt Hardy, h
Wade Barrett with Chris Jericho, David O'tonga with Our Truth, Daniel Bryan with
the Miss uh, Michael Tarver with Carlito, and Heath Slater with Christian.
That is the lineup for n XD season one. This is such a dumb
idea. It's I feel like it, Like I feel like it could have
worked, just not on dv I I don't know. I think that I
don't know, especially a game show bullshit and all that. Like I feel
like having a mentor for a bunch of dudes just for a show. I
feel like it could work. Yeah, but he took it serious yea,
they did not know. They immediately turned it into WWE Yeah, like like
we'll talk about it. But if Brian was with Rego like he wanted or
whatever. You know, honestly, the missing Brian thing is probably the only
good fucking thing they did it just because it was you know, they they
knew everyone would be pissed about it and talking about it. Oh yeah,
but if they made it like a serious show and they put them together and
it was yeah, you're right, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think
the idea maybe would work in a different format, but different company, different
year. Yeah. Yeah, doing the live, unscripted format with these rookies
have no clue what's like. I guess it was all for shoot, right,
like because they didn't actually know what was trying to say. I think
probably some of it they did get, Like I mean, like you know
that Brian stuff. Probably I think yeah, they because that seem more.
But like I think a lot of like he could cut a promo on flowers
or whatever they did. Yeah, that's I mean, like sending them out
there just to fucking die, Like you're investing money in these dudes just to
fucking make up suck. Well. I mean, you know, I mean
it worked with the Mizzen Daniel Bryan because Daniel Bryan is a world travel elite
wrestler and online hated them. Yeah right, so like that worked out perfect,
and you know that's probably exactly what they're going for your I assume it
was was that you know, the one thing that we'll get from this show
is hopefully this Daniel Bryan and his thing will be fine and we'll play off
some people and we'll do something good with this. But for people like Skip
Sheffield or uh, you know, Michael Tarver, dar like you introduce these
guys as rookies and then like they are rookies like they are. Yeah,
that's the thing that sor I'm gonna cut you off, but that's the thing.
I feel like We've talked about this before, James and Tony, Like
indies do that a lot, you know, the calling them like here's a
student, here's uh, you know this guy's that. Yeah, it's like
he sucks now, but just you wait, he will be good. Dude,
I'll gonna do this. They're gonna this short little nxt uh stint and
then they're gonna be ready for TV. They won't be a rookie anymore.
That's how it works. That's crazy. You can graduate. Daniel Brian has
to graduate. Yeah, I think, you know, I think he can
work, like I think the rookie thing works. Like you know, I
watch a lot of promotions where they'll debut somebody new and then you know,
they'll have their debut match and then they're losing the loos and the losing,
the losing, the losing. They will lose for I mean ever, like
they will never win ever. Yeah, yeah, but they'll get closer and
closer. You know, Dad, he doesn't work like that. So like
you d do someone as a rookie and then like this guy suck. Yeah,
like that's what you're saying pretty much. Yeah, I'm saying the system.
Yeah, maybe this format would work if the system was different, but
it's definitely not fucking working the WB you know what I mean. Here's rookie
fucking skip jeff Field, this fucking loser. Look at this guy with the
hat and that's the big hair, dude. That was the commentary, Like
word for word, that was it. They just buried everything like if the
commentary is not gonna get behind him, and it's not gonna work either,
you know. And what's even funnier to James's point, like you know,
they try it here for the first time and try to figure it out.
This is probably like the only like it gets worse. They do more damage
in the next season when they do the women's one. Was that the next
one or that one season three. Dude, they just shot on all the
way the entire time. They had a gong at one point where the women
would just they would just gong the women when they were sucking. Yeah,
they had Michael Colem punk out there and say make fun of these women.
Now I remember that. Yeah, dude, Michael Cole with the gong was
like the most annoying shit in the world. They would just bury all these
women. It was. It was hard to watch. Actually, legit.
The selling point of that season of NXT was Wow, this is a train
wreck. You should tune in, And they like made the commentary that way.
They were laughing, laugh. Oh, this show gets taken off there,
it was on TV, I think it was. So we start the
show off here, and it shows a wide shot of all the rookies standing
there, trying their hardest to not talk or say anything, just and all
rubbing their hands together. Yeah, that's true. They all have idle stances
like they're in a video game. You're right, it is absolutely hilarious to
me. On their gear. Yeah, they're on their gear getting ready for
the first that episode, next tea and it's going down, going down the
path here, and he started seeing the guys he skipped up there in the
middle. There there's Daniel Bryan, fucking all star, world traveled, fucking
elite wrestler, uh for the best of the room by far. And the
guy he's already laughing, he's already corporal, like he's already laughing, like
being involved with this because I assume when he came to WB like he had
an idea of what he was gonna do, and this was probably exactly what
he expected from Yeah, this is probably like exactly what he fucking expected.
I can't remember it was because I went and met Daniel Bryan when it was
like when the Seattle one of the games. I can't remember, but uh,
it was it there or was it somewhere else where? He was talking
about like how they purposely made him dumb it down to be like stupid character
on TV like they hear like idiot. Yeah, so that's crazy that he
came in and he knew he was gonna be an idiot, like right away,
like oh yeah, go back then, you know, like that was
just the fucking system. Like he just comes in and like you know,
you have Yeah, that's just how it is. Um, So the miss
walks in and he looks at all of them and he calls Daniel Bran out
of the line. And this is the start of probably the more memorable thing
from the entire run of NXT here was the Miss and Daniel Bryan. Oh
yeah, other than like obviously what comes after with the Nexus, Like this
is the only thing that anyone was tuning in for. Yeah, yeah,
so the missas Daniel Bryan is an Internet darling, which is crazy to hear,
Like the Miss says, Dani Bryan is an Internet darling who became a
star on the minor leagues the Independence. Dude, they hated the Internet in
twenty ten, hated the Internet. I don't know what it was about them,
they hated the Internet. I can see. I'm punk fans and Miss
small minority of the Internet, very small, small vocal minority, like you,
Daniel Bryant. Well, missays, people say you're great. Yeah,
you think you're ready for w W And Bryan says, yeah, I do.
And missays you have to learn to expect anything right now once you go
to the ring, introduce yourself. He says this next thing four thousand times.
I think they say everyone says it four thousand times. To the rest
of this episode. Go to the ring and show some personality and show some
charisma. Holy fucking shit, man, I can't time some personality in your
rest like telling a little charismaans you think of his personality and his charisma here
today, Holy fuck fuck you man to your point of of Tony of Brian
coming in like you know, knowing he was gonna be stupid. It's so
weird to think, you know, just not even ten years later after this,
Like if you told somebody in twenty ten, hey, you're gonna have
an NXT run, they would have a completely different reaction than when they hear
that ten years later. So, Daniel Bryan the entire time that the miss
is talking to him is Corpsey the entire time, and the missage, well,
you can go out there to my music, So yes, of course,
and your Brian is gonna go out to the missus music the whole time
this conversation is happening. By the way, is standing at the back,
licking his lips, rubbing his hand looking like scuffs. Steve Austin what was
his name, is like the meat head. So it dude, Yeah,
that corn fed meadhead. Yeah, that's what it was if you have what
to do necklace hat Steve as to give it fucking crazy. He was also
a tough enough guy like Steve, so yeah sorry yeah, Skip Shefford wasn't
the last season of Tough Enough, the one that the million dollars tough enough
to do backdown he was on. He obviously did not when Daniel Peter of
course won that when the miss was in that as well, which is that's
crazy. The mis ended up here and chef Field did it up exactly.
Yeah here, yeah, okay, so the miss you know, it's crazy.
So Daniel Brian goes out and I don't know how they wanted to produce
this show, but it was very interesting because Daniel Brian leaves to make his
interest to the missus music, Oh my god, and then the miss stands
here very awkwardly as everyone in the background is still idol posing. It listened
the camera for a very long time. Miss Yeah, it's all. It's
the same exact shot. It's just miss standing there, arms folded, staring
directedly into the Gramma while his music is playing. And it's it feels like,
as James said, it goes on for a fucking eternity. This was
like a live shot though, because he had to go from wherever they were
standing all the way to grilling out, so like it was a lot.
It was a little long walk they should have been. I don't know if
they were close to grilla or not, but it was definitely a little walk
there and fucking miss says. He finally talks after what feels like a half
hour. He says, compared to me, Brian's personality as dry as the
Mohabbi Denver. Yeah, that biggest Devert, his whole big is Danda.
Brian sucks on the mic. You have the Mohabbi dever show you a little
bit of that personality. Yeah, that charisma Devert. I'm gonna slap some
personality into him. And then he does a very very creepy smile. Earlier
he tells him, oh, and have a catch phrase. Before he said,
yes, you must have a have a catch phrase. Good luck that
step. You have to have a catchphrase or you will not survive. Try
as the Mohabbi Devers biggest. Yeah, that's where taker took the bigger show.
Yeah, you know what, everyone everyone did have a stupid you wouldn't
do. Yeah, you got your charisma catch phrase everybody, you got your
personality and your charity. Yeah, so we got Michael Cole and I think
Josh Matthews. Right, that's right, yea one tea everybody make sure you
get that right, um, And they're on call with Matt Striker, who
was backstage as the host of NXT Tight Shirt and Necklace. Yes, Matt
Striker, of course known for taking a monkey flip from Rob Bandamn at WrestleMania
Very bad match with thing here with Bad Striker. I don't know if it's
on this version, but later on or on the second season. He has
a live headset so we can hear like commentators, well them reacts in the
ring. So he'll start corpsing in the ring. As as the commentation season
three, the women's season, Yeah, they yeah, it's great. Wow.
So they were very adamant on this show that no one had any personality.
There is no charisma, there's nothing here, Matt Striker says, he
Brian or a match Shreker says, I jumped at the opportunity of an authentic
look at eight personalities or lack thereof. And I'll be waiting here for the
reactions from Daniel Bryan. You guys all suck. You all suck, You
really really suck. So now it's time for the Daniel Bryan town hall.
Ah, take that shovel out to have. That's a good personality sentence.
Yes, it's very good. I think I think I'll use the catchphrase,
so, Brian says on the mic. Here, he says that his pro
is the Miss and the crowd of course booze, because the Miss is a
bad, bad man. He says, it's a tremendous reserception as I got
that charisma, cash phrase, you got that personality, simmits, simmits,
you got that. Ever, he says, I wish my pro is William
Rigal bait. You get what you get? Yeah, I guess you do.
You do? So? Of course, the Miss interrupts Dania Bryan immediately
and miss missays, where's the charisma? Where's your catch phrase? Cryan says,
I will fucking kill you if you ever, You're gonna die, he
says. Miss says, you may be a submission machine, but where's your
charisma? How are you gonna be a star in the WWE? How are
you gonna do it? Yeah? How is it possible? If you do
not have a charisma, cash phrase, personality sentence man, So Bryan says.
He says, how are you gonna be going to star? Price says,
well, I think I'm going to go on a reality TV show,
get a foe hawk and come out here and act like an idiot. Did
it already? This is well, I have a catchphrase, I'm the miss
and I'm awesome. Dude. I'm so glad that this is like, you
know, looking back on Deobe at the time, I wasn't like into it
everything until like you know, see him punk of course changed up in the
door. But the ham fisting of catch phrases and charism. I feel like
you needed a solid T shirt. We need a T shirt and you need
a catch phrase. That's what it is. WB. I feel like poison
the minds of so many people. Yeah, like yeah, we'll talk about
it a little later. So many nickname bastards and wrestling now and I cannot
take it. I can't take one more fucking nickname. I can't do it.
So uh Brian says, uh, you know, well, okay,
I gotta catch phrase for you. How about if we fight, you either
tap or snap. By the way, I'm pretty sure they did make a
T shirt of that. They did, I they can't remember it. Yeah,
yeah they did, and it was like a picture of his arms,
I think, or like, okay, a little bit of time if they
get the T shirt done, but well they you know, teachers can take
a while. Jameson Oh, yes, yes they do. Miss asked if
he deserves to be in the same ring as him. The crowd says yes.
Miss says well, no you don't, and he says you failed.
Miss then slaps him in the face and leaves you failed. No commentary here.
It is awkward, very awkward here. Why was there no commentary here?
There's not like it was it. It felt like they were like,
not only is there no commentary, but then like Brian is like walking to
the ropes, they're not talking. It's forever. They show a replay,
still no talking. They come back from replace, still no talking. Yeah,
that was weird. That was great. What are they doing? Well?
Anyways, we have a triple aged video package for anyone who may not
may not know so, so I actually watched the peacock version and the YouTube
version at the same time, but they edit the YouTube version had the triple
h K King's promo and the Peacock version thanked American Bang for They're a great
song. Oh wow, so I think the YouTube probably didn't. They don't
like American band American Bang. You have these sons of bitches? Do you
speaking of Brian? By the way, I don't know if you're because you
guys obviously we're fucking in the trenches like I was. Do you remember when
Brian I think Brian first got signed, and like, do you remember,
at least in my circle, the FCW roster page was a big deal.
It was because they would put they would put indie guys on there and you
would find out their name from the roster background. Yes, yeah, so
somebody I think it was on woo like it was a big frenzy because they
posted a picture like it looked fucking unbelievably real. It was fucking Brian and
his name was Dirk dig Buttonber Remember Dirt, But I do remember Joey Samoe
was a very Yeah, Dirk Dick, but yeah, joe I remember,
and Dirk Dick. I wish I could find picture that found it. Oh
my god, you really here's the f W roster. I think that's got
a thing on it. But real, dude. In twenty ten, we
didn't know people could see this. It's EC three and Drew back Dirk Dirk
Dick but blond as hair Dick. He should have been that instead. I'm
so fucking glad I found that that was so fucking funny, Dude. I
think I believe that, dude. Back in the day, Hey, Internet
was different. Back then, it was it was. We didn't know about
the inspect element. Back then we were right. So we go backstage.
Matt Striker tells Dick dirt Buck that he sucks, not Dick Dirk butt but
please get it right, dirt Dick, but you're already sucking up his personality
sentence whatever from the mohave dever, because that's my catchphrase. I'm James and
I'm awesome James, James, Dirty Dray Richard dirt but Johnson Dick but fucking
shit. So yeah, this, this backstage segment, this whole show is
circled around how much of an asshole can we make Drew Bridle, How can
we make people not like him? I want to make sure you understand as
a viewer that the independence fucking suck, you know, I mean shit,
and you Internet fucking bitches. Who the fuck made this? Who made the
dirt? Did you will pay? You will pay? Yeah? So Matt
strikers back there, Brian. Of course, of course Matt Striker is telling
this guy the indies fucking suck, all independent restless sucks. Matt Striker,
who was on the indies. Of course, he says, Brian, you
were just slapped in the face on national TV. Your thoughts, and Brian
says, well, I don't find an embarrassing. What I think about it
is I'm gonna get him back, miss. I slap a lot harder than
you do. And Shreker says, hey, he's your mentor. The w
is about respect. How can you say that, bans W is about respect,
respect, dirt dis all out of respect. Okay, Brian says,
listen, I've been in the business twice as long as he has, and
Shreker says, you haven't been in the WWE for a minute. They want
to fucking tell us the entire episode that anything doesn't matter. You're full of
shit if you wrestle anywhere else. It looks like here Daniel, Brian,
that you won the Yeah, it looks like right here that you're a piece
of shit. It says, here your accolades are you won the Brian Danielson
Award for fifteen straight years? Really? Okay, well, I'm gonna give
you the tech of you right sheet. It's as here as You're gonna lose
big time tonight and I'm gonna call you a bitch for the rest of the
show. How about that? That's my cash grase, Fuck you, I
like it. Get your dick butt out of here, buddy, Take your
Dirk butt out of here. Bitts. Brian says, I want to be
a star, but I get be a star on my own. And Striker
says, if you want to be a star, you have to listen to
the mid Dude, what is he so out of it? He's like so
sincere what he says? This dude like, if you want to be a
star, are in the WW you need to listen to the That's so crazy.
I could imagine being taught that. The guy who has to change in
his own locker room by himself in the hallway because he's even chicken over you
all hates for years. I have to listen to the guy the Undertaker had
to save to get back in the locker room. That guy. He's not
that guy. That guy take a room up his ass and you want me
to listen to him? This guy Jack Magnet, that guy with the shorts.
For the Ority show, we have Carlito and Michael Tae hype baggage.
Of course, let's take a look at Carlito's rookie with this. Okay,
can you please explain to everybody? First off, everyone in twenty ten was
dressed like a Saint rug character, all of them. Everybody from Jersey Shore
very bedazzled. Everything is bedazzled, Everything has gyms on it. It cuts
to Michael Darver video package. Can you please tell me what Michael Darver said
in this video? Well, he says, with my knowledge and skills,
I will become the next break out superstar. And then he makes a team
with his arms. That's his thing is the tea with his arms. He
lives near Acron, Ohio. He is mister one No, Johnny, you're
getting that wrong. He's not mister one point nine. He says, they
call me mister one point nine, so everyone else calls him one point nine.
I call you bitch and bastard. He cannot get any man in one
point nine seconds and He said his dad, when he was a kid,
made him run five miles a day in snow before school in church. You
are a victim. Fact that his father was Mike Tyson's sparring partners. Yes,
he was a victim as well. They say. Look, they say
this is the literal citizen. They call him mister one point nine seconds because
he can knock out any man in one point nine seconds. That is crazy
as hell. They call him mister wrestling because he could wrestling in one point
nine seconds. Dick, But because I have a dick butt at one point
nine seconds. Yes, but you haven't better than w two B for one
cool. If you want to make cool, Carlino is so checked out by
twenty ten, no one should be taking advice from somewhere. Rick Claire just
looked up about assitations to listen. You have to listen if you want to
make it, Harley Race, listen to Carlito for one point nine seconds.
But some state said he makes the team with his arms. That's game.
He makes tea that's a knockout. Thing that knockout and the one point nine
Hey, I bought into it one point nine video package. Ever, and
he doesn't even knock anyone out in one point nine seconds. Well, that's
the Big Show's move. What do you want from me? Oh my god,
dude, he said he wrestled for twenty dollars before, which means that
you wrestled on the independence of fuck you don't. That's how much FCW was
paid. Twenty dollars, right, So yeah, they're facing I paid twenty
dollars a match, and then he had to go fucking deal with Derek Bateman
at a house bar. As a fate wor death. You need to control
your narrative. Don't let him do that. Derek Bateman and bunch at a
house party. I gotta deal with these guys, and I gonna fucking wrestle
Bret Debazi Dirt Dick, but use so their face. It's Carlito and Michael
Tarver and mister one point nine seconds as they called Michael Tarver, and they're
facing off against Christian and yes he's Slayer, Yeah he's Slater. Also gets
a hype video and he is super naught. He's later yet he is like
very soft spokeet heavens later here. What did he say he's the rock star
without instruments? Yeah? He uh heah. I think that's what he said.
He wanted. He knew that he wanted to be a w B superstar
ever since he popped out of his mom's womb. That's absurd. We're gonna
put you back in there. He's the one to watch. You see Slater
and he's about that blow your mind? All right? All right, man,
they do show a backyard wrestling of Slater, backgoard wrestling. They put
it to that. We do that because fully was a backyard wrestler. That
waspish. That's true that he worked onto a Rain the Raider Maker. That's
crazy. You're both owned twenty dollars. Now give him his damn money.
By the way, Blue Wire give us one yea? What the fuck?
All right? So we got the banger matchup Carlito and Michael Tarver versus Christie
Slater, and we watched later their tag team name is Christians. We watch
this plus ten moments of the week, this entire episode. Dude, you
remember Slater? Gator I do remembers was Titis and later Titus was in of
things that were pretty entertaining, and then they just Alwa was in annext season
two I believe, Well, they killed everything he was ever part of,
So I don't know why tried as hardest. Then he's still there though,
he's still got a job. Yeah, good for him. So Carlito and
christianed they were gonna start the match, but Carlito calls out he's Slater.
He is the rock star without instruments, and Slater almost lays with a quick
roll up early on. Um oh sorry, but I guess no one had
any risk tape for him because he's got no rist tape on tonight. That's
a look, brother, Carlito in the IWA mid South pants looking at him.
Look at the big dead twenty dollars. He's trying to be in King
of the Dead. Christian hits Michael Tarver with the Unprettier and wins the match.
What do you guys think of Christian doing the clap before he hits the
unprettier. I always hated Christian, the big clap, like the a big
raising his hands back, Yeah big. I hated that big clap. And
then hits the dude, I'll kill switch as to call here, I'll be
honest with you. After you left TNA and came back to w B and
they put him back on ECW. You know, I felt like he was
pretty checked out. I feel like he like he came back because it was
just like, you know, I was here, I made good money here,
you know, like his run is easy to be champion. I can't
even de lie. He had some fun and we watched that one with the
car door one Dreamer match was fun. Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean
I can't. I'm not gonna see your net like I watched that shore.
I watched like clips and stuff of it. Sure it was never really two
in any of the matches. Maybe if I was like watching the show on
a regular basis, like yeah, she was actually like a little different right
spot of that show for a bit when he was champ, but then he
stopped being champion, and then you know, I was I was really looking
forward to him and Randy Orton when they were a fewding over the World heavywe
title for a minute, sorry about yeah, and it was you know,
it was it was actually like a pretty interesting story for a second, and
then they just moved on and said yeah, right when he won the belt
for a second and then he lost it then or so yeah yeah, wow,
okay, um, but yeah, so Christian hits Michael Tarver with the
I'm Prettier wins. I wrote, Christian does his two K come back,
this sucks, pants, Carlito sucks, and then Christian at the Gills wedg
ye. This is a follow up from the Christian Carlado match um last night
where they qualified for something or whatever. I don't know. They're just building,
keeping the storyline alive. Well, Slater is just dancing in the ring,
and as he's dancing in the ring, cool says, now, look
at that charisma, which I feel like I'm in a different sarcastic or die
no, he said, there's some of that charisma. He said, I
think this is what you're gonna see on NXE over the next few weeks.
I put, oh no, dude, that's crazy. Like there's so many
fans that like, I think charisma is like how much you're moving or how
much you're yelling and complete sentences and stuff. It's like never staying still is
charisma. Yeah, it's like that. This this actually lasted forever, Like
I feel like maybe there was like people, yeah they still do that,
but not as like blatant as here. They were like, yeah, he
needs charisma, start moving and speaking in full sentences. Now, Yeah,
you're right, you gotta have a catch phrase because that's charisma. Well it's
those uh straight at Society backstage with Darren Young. Darren Young, the South
Beach Party Boy, Darren Young, I don't really remember. I don't remember.
I don't dude, did he ever? Did they ever do anything with
that? I maybe they did. I feel like it went straight to the
nexus and like they dropped it. Yeah I don't think. Yes, I
think so too. I think maybe that was like his FCW run was like
South Beach Party boyers on maybe but he does so he does the Nexus right
and then like I can't remember anything he does after that. I mean he
does like Prime Time Players, I know that far out, but like,
but yeah, like what does he does? He go Nexus and then he's
gone and then he comes back as Prime Time Players. He turns here and
feuds with Hornswoggle on NXT. Oh he would, Oh my god, he
is stuck in NXC forever. Do you remember after that fucking season they did
like a redemption season totally they never ending NX never yes, never ending NXC
redemption season. I cannot fucking believe I forgot about an era that was like,
we have a TV contract, we need to produce television. Wasn't that
what it was? Or was the internet? No? That was it was?
It was TV and the internet. Wow. Because NXT redemption was when
they did Tyson Kid versus Josi Tatsu for an action figure leg on a Pole.
I was at the show. Yeah, I've never seen that. Yeah
we should watch that Tyson Kid versus Josie taught to actually figured leg on a
pole match WAXT. They I don't remember what they like, okay, like
what it was like, it was like they needed it for to finish the
thing. It was like I think Tyson Kid like broke a Yoshi Tatsu figure
and that was the feud. That sounds awesome. But yeah, somption went
on and then uh, twenty May twenty twelve is when they started like the
current NXT. Yeah, right, what they have now? I guess.
So to answer your question James from like ten minutes ago, I have no
idea what the fuck he did? What was my question? The party boy?
Sure? They also show Our Truth, giving David Otonga advice and David
to tonge is here in glasses and bedazzled uty but dazzled Hoodie was nuts.
Everyone is a saint character. It's absurd. So now we have Darren Young
versus David o'tonga. Oh, there was a difference here. There was a
difference here on this uh YouTube and Peacock. So uh, when Darren Young
makes his entrance with CM punk, um they cut the sign from YouTube,
but it was on the Peacock version. And there's a sign that says every
time Punk speaks, I drink oh shit because Society ontube, but they left
it on Peacock. The Darren Young trade Edge Society gimmick here is of course
straight as Society want nothing to do with Darren Young. They even do like
a picture in picture promo of Punk here saying that he doesn't know why he's
on the show or why he's dealing with Darren Young. And if Darren Young
wishes to be mentored by the Stranger to Savior CM Punk, he has to
learn to accept straight edge into his life. Holy shit, Punk looks exactly
like I do right now. That's an I've watched a lot of stuff for
that. Era is very yes, dude, Yeah, I mean fucking Srina
Deep here is fucking awesome too, And that angle shaver head and he's not
the dock head. He's just Luke. He was festist and then he's not
anymore. That was a crazy red conn have something wrong with him. He
was just a fucking drug addict that he was feeding him drugs that I forgot
about that We've done so many these episodes. I forget about all of our
good bits. I said, David O Tonga, got damn video package,
got the Saints row jacket. Jack. This is crazy, man. It
looks like fucking Ganda hell type character. Man. Look at this guy.
He's insane. He said he met Obama and if you didn't know, his
wife is Jennifer Hudson. So deb didn't know this and she was like whoa,
which I'm guessing is like why they kept him here because that's what everyone's
response. No, they never got married. Actually they never never went to
Yeah, it was just his fiance and then they never got married. Worked.
Yeah, well he went to Bama. Burma, yelled Jon Burg School.
Dan Rugerd doesn't get the TikTok, thinks Dan Recherd download TikTok. I
know you're listening. Oh he doesn't get it. He doesn't get the bird
thing. He says. He likes it because we do. But he doesn't
get this gimmick. No, okay, well here we'll just put it in
beef. You had the noise in our doing for you. I'm David Tongo
and that right after everything. I'm David Outoga, I met Obama, I
met Jennifer Hudson. I'm Dad Jennifer Hudson. I went to Harvard Lard School.
You're like that. I appreciate you. So, David says, he's
from Hollywood. Nobody has a body like this. He's the best looking face,
looking so smooth and so fresh. Come on, looking at his face
with the hair. It's nuts, model pictures, three years at a Harvard
law school. And he can't get caught up on the haters because they're jealous
of me. That's what James tells me every week. Yeah, the same
outfit. He says, I've never failed at anything in my life, and
I don't plan on feeling now. And if you don't know me, you
should come on, man, google me. That was this fucking catch phrase
I forgot Google me was this catchphrase, go as shes me burn. It
started a bomba and then it cut to David take of pointing at the scurt.
It's just crazy Obama. Look he this is the most VH one ass
show I've ever seen. This might as well be Flavor of Love. He
might as well been tried off of that show. Wasn't David one? Baby
David was on season two of the VH one dating reality show I Love New
York, Oh, Jennifer, I Love New York for that. It's legendary.
Man. That shit surreal life and flavor flav and all that flavor al
I Love New York was fucking sweet, surreal life, all that fucking shh.
Yeah, you had the hair and everything here. Yeah. Uh oh.
Tonga starts the match with a lock up with a hover hand. That'll
be five um. They go straight into the comeback skip everything else and then
yeah tongue then hits Darren Young with, of course, his sigture move.
You can go the CTE buster, the most fucked fine buster ever, just
where he grabs you by your head and then make sure you can't talk and
slams your head in in that would go because you're gonna forget chuckle. Adell
was taking notes on that one. How can I throw my own head into
the ground This viciously love the iceman, David Tonge gets to win here and
punk in the tradest society just walk out and do not help out Darren Young
at all. So tonight we're gonna get Chris Jericho versus Daniel Bryan who I
was and I remember watching this live because I remember that match and being excited
for that match. Yeah, I mean, I feel like, you know,
somebody requested this somewhere. I don't know who it was, but probably
probably was Jericho. Somebody somebody asked him. So we get a w W
Diva's propaganda video sexy Smart Powerful. Can we someone make that video? But
about us? Like the second we need a sexis More Powerful video for the
Deadlock podcast please uh? And then we but more importantly, we need to
talk about Raw James, Yes, Raw recap of course heading into Mania,
Yes, of course. This practice week on Raw, Sena said, add
me to the list of with Bret Hart of people Vince McMahon has screwed because
at the chamber, Uh, Sena want to match, and then Vince immediately
said, Batista is now facing you for the title, and Batista one,
that's awesome. Money in the bank exists or whatever. We're about that,
Vince says, I'm all about business. In my business. Arrangement with Batista
meant that he could get a title match anytime, any place, And uh,
tonight, I'm gonna put you in a match, and you'll face Batista
in the main event. If you well to face Bautista in the main event,
Mania, you have to face tonight and Batista low blows Sena and Scena
wins, and then Batista spends the next five minutes brutally beating him with a
dude, and they do like this weird camera effect when he does it.
Dude, Yeah, he's melting. I also just want to make sure that
you know, I don't know if we stated enough you're how ridiculous these guys
look at these interview promots. But Michael Tarmer and David Datucket look absolutely that's
something show looking. Yeah, Saint ruck actress is an unbelievable description of them.
Yeah. Perfect. Um, So, Chris Jericho versus Daniel Bryant your
main event for NXT one. Yes, I mean big fucking match here.
You know that's a pretty fucking big deal if you're an Internet fan, a
piece of shit, Yeah, exactly, as John Cena don't try this at
home video. By the way, these moves take years to perfect. Don't
try this at home. Right after David Dunge gave Darren Young the biggest CT
of his career, they had to play that it was rough Man that wasn't
on the Peacock version because they could try if you watch Peacock. But I
YouTube they guta let you know. And of course next week Matt Hardy and
the flamboyant South African Justin Gabriel will be on EDXT indeed, and boy in
South African is why he's a good character. His hair is nuts. He
is he is nuts, he's he is nuts still to this day he's the
dare Wolf. All right, So Wade Barrett, of course, Chris Jericho's
lucky. Um, he's just out here. You don't have imagined nothing.
Yeah, I'm White Barrett, leader of the Nexus. Yes, so Jericho
says, I don't want her to ring announce me the ring announce of course,
I want you to do it. He points to Wade Barrett. He
says, give me an instruction I deserve right now. Barrett says, I'm
White Barrett. Later on, I'm Europe's number one bare knuckle fight. I'm
down on a shirt the face. I don't care what any of you have
been all over the world world. Chris Jarrett go has been there first and
he's won a title. And Jericho says, I just want you to introduce
me, man, just fucking introduce me, and Barrett looks and and says
fair enough. Jo looks back at them and he introduces him. He said
it was pretty good. Good job. So now we have Daniel Brian.
They did a little hype video for Chris Jericho and his new heel turn and
hair by the way, because he's serious guy now in the suit right,
it shows him as a clown. I can't believe it made you drink.
So Brian comes down, shoves miss out of the way to get down the
rail. Yeah. So Daniel Bryan starts the match with Chris Jericho going for
that code of honor. Well, of course there's two our wage world champions
here. Wow, look at that. Jericho does not adhere to the code
of honor. Bullshit. I wrote the same thing I wrote Jericho. Briancoes
with the coade of honor. Jerco slaps his hand and then biphases him.
That was I remember that was always that was like the exact sentence they would
use. It looks like he did not adhere to the code of honor.
Yeah, that was awesome, Josh mattitude on these days. No, you
can't even figure it out period. John, As you said that a lot
of people know Brian because he has been on the Independent Circuit for Teachers put
him over here, Saul says, well, I have never heard of him,
John, Everyone has started dande. Brian calls it, I've never heard
of him, and Josh says, you haven't heard of a lot of dough
he said, he said, I haven't heard of Brian until he showed up
on NXT. That's the first time I ever heard of him. Why lie,
I'm lying. Matt Striker interviews Wade Barrett Ringside like a shotgun stars,
I thought too, Oh my god, I didn't even think of that.
You're right, and Barrett says, I'm could have watched the match, yes,
Striker says, uh is, what are you learning by watching Chris Jericho?
He says Jericho's quality and Striker says, what do you learning? You
fucking idiots? I explained it to you. Is quality required to be the
best in the world get the funk away from me. A little weird though,
So then Jericho takes a dragon screw like shit. Then Brian Pianny kicks
the hell out of them for it. Cole says that Josh Matthews is like
the rest of these Internet guys reading their stupid tweets and blogs and dirt sheets
yeah and tweeting. Yeah. He says, you think you should know because
he wrestled in a high school gym. I should care. You're like the
guys were a dirt sheets and tweeting. We talked about it the other day.
Twenty thirteen. Twitter was crazy. Twenty ten Twitter was probably say,
yeah, man, that's different. Um. So, Brian comes back in
with the suicida, but Jericho catches him like shit and first into the table,
which I don't believe was meant to happen, but I think that's what
people remember both from that. Mantel was in saying that maybe we played that
like a million times, and then I think they say, come, oh,
Chris, Jericho is smart enough. Is he reversed it? And he
reversed it. Yeah, he reversed it, Yeah, of course, but
he nihilates him into the fucking into the table. Yet you can see it
on his side. It's already fucking crazy, bruised up early from this.
Yeah. So then Jericho catches Brian off a springboard into the walls, but
Brian rolls through into a knee bar. Crowd is pretty hot for this at
this point. Yeah. Um, Jericho grabs the rope to break it.
Then HiT's a surprise code breaker and it shows all the rubbing their hands.
Look at the charisma and radiating off the hands. So Jericho locks in the
Lion Tamer on Daniel Bryan and he taps out. Look good. I mean,
I feel like it was the first time Jericho has done the Lion Tamer
in a minute two which I thought was like cool, you know the Lion
Tamer. Yeah, yeah, you're right, fun little match. It was
nothing crazy, but seeing at this time seeing fucking Brian Danielson wrestling Chris Jericho
on TV was fucking pretty cool. So and then the miss gets in the
ring and starts beating the ship. You are rookie. You are a rookie.
Oh, he shout, Okay, Yeah that was pretty cool. Actually
maps him out big time. Matt Striker's ben backstage with all the stars and
he says this is a X style. No, it's even worse. Actually,
it says next week, we will continue to make history. This is
the future, this is unique, this is a When he said this is
unique, fucking hard, and they do a recap to the end the show,
and the recap of the show they just watch Brian bump a million times.
Of course, of course, yeah, holy fuck man, that was
How the fuck did anyone watched this after this? Other than wanting to see
Bryant, that's all. That's the only reason I watched. I want to
see Brian. I want to see what they do with Due. Yes,
yeah, they knew they were cooked with that. They kept that catchpase for
years. Man. No, now it's we are I'm trying to find the
ratings that this show got. So the first episode I Next Seed did one
point seventy million viewers, which was a one point three five. What did
the ECW before that, dude? You know the last ECW did at one
point one four, So it's up. But then the week after it goes
to a one point two four, then a one, then a point nine,
so it's it gets pretty good. It gets down to like a point
eight at some point point. Jeez. Yeah, so people were like superstars
levels of ratings. Yeah, yeah, really. There's a quote from Daniel
Brian that I was like, look at a video to see what he said
on this. He said the n XT I was on it was stupid.
One of the challenges was Brink was drinking soda a minute of live televid.
You remember trying to down a big gulp of soda and he didn't like soda.
He doesn't drink soda. They had to like run the stairs all the
way up through the crowd, go to the concession, drink a soda,
and then come back. They also made front of Brian for not eating meat
and not having and he continues out here says it was rotten going from Indias
to NXD. Didn't feel that big damn still doesn't. Oh yeah, while
we're sitting here, man, sorry is free from the w W. Yes,
sir, her your first show in Japan April sixteenth? Interesting dates?
Oh is that her first show in Japan? Yeah? Really, yeah,
I thought it was before I thought you said I thought it was May.
I read May, and then I saw April sixteenth. That is incredibly interesting.
If you say, I agree, just to say so myself. I
think very good good. Yeah, I think that's fucking amazing. Yeah.
So that was the first episode NXT. James, what did you think overall?
You love this? What do you think about this? Do you love
this? And give me a catchphrase sentence? I love hanging out with you
