Boys welcomes number one hundred two. Really, we are back from Yeah,
oh my god. We are talking about Japan SmackDown and also talking about us
in Japan and a SmackDown we laid out there. You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, it was an interesting episode of SmackDown. The room be talking
about um, it's one way to put it in an interesting trip for us.
That's also one way to put it, definitely, and it's also a
one ninety two. That is, I can't believe it. I still don't
believe you're telling the truth. I don't think that's right. What do you
think Tony? Oh, Tony is not here this week? It doesn't look
like well, no I heard him. I heard him. You didn't hear
him? No, I didn't because I'm editing it this week. And also
I got no webcam because when I came back from band, my computer didn't
work, so I had to get that fixed. That should be fun.
This has been an ass kicker of a week. It has been fucking brutal,
but we are still bringing you the show to continue the streak one hundred
and ninety two weeks undefeated of continuous fucking podcasting. So this is in theory
Friday here, right, is this Friday? This is coming out? Yeah,
let's perhaps and then h and then another one. We'll come out on
Monday, which put a lot of dates. Hey, people got to know
that. Before we get into all that, we have some updates here for
Deadlock watch. This is up on the Patreon, which was Ultimate X Saban
versus PD versus Style's Final Resolution two thousand and five. What a fucking unbelievable
match. Probably, I don't know if it's my favorite Ultimate X, but
I mean I can't think of many that I like more than it. Maybe
the first one just because of how like you know, it was the first
one ever, So the best one, the one where the Hardy boys used
the ladder. Okay, that was the worst one. Actually, you mistake
it. Yeah, you've got that mixed up there. It happens. Sometimes
you can edit that because you're editing. I am not speaking of things.
I'm not editing sim it will be Backyard Dogs anyway. Moving on, Backyard
Dogs is a movie that came out in two thousand that we were unawares of
until a certain anonymous bonner told us about it. It was I don't know
if I don't think it was made by but the Zach from Power Rangers Mighty
Warf Power Rangers is in this movie. And it's a backyard wrestling movie.
I guess backyard wrestling was super hot in two thousand and they made a fucking
movie about this. I can't imagine this hit theaters. But it's something I've
never heard about. And we saw the preview when we were in Japan and
we said we are going to watch this, So that's what we're gonna do
this more. I mean, it's true, it's true to the to the
art. You know, tape you had to tape trade to get this movie,
and yeah, well yeah, do that with backyard wrestling back in the
day. So here we are Zach from Mighty morphin versus wife Beater. I
don't think that's I don't think that's right. There are some other wrestlers in
this though, James and I will not spoil for those of you watch,
but that is in the ten dollars tier or will be excuse me this month
on our Patreon and our Patreon. This is like the rollover was tremendous.
We are actually still very close to three thousand and at the beginning of the
month, so this might be the month James. Yeah, you're right.
I mean that'd be very cool because then Tony will have to die. Dude,
it took a while, but you're getting it. You're getting it,
and I appreciate that. You know. What also I'm here for is the

sure Patreon comp sized Delucke to be signed up, and James will say your
name in a funny way. Maybe next week, I'll stay it in the
clown voice. All right, now it's time to talk about Japan. Number
one. That's just your feelings. Yes we uh so we went to Japan.
It was my first time in Japan. It was James second time in
Japan. It was also Tony's first time in Japan. I will try to
include as much Tony, as much Tony stuff as I can remember, but
you know, he's just along for the ride. So let's see where do
we start here? I guess we talked about the flights, right, So
I took a flight to you first on let's see, it was at April
nineteenth, I think that was. I flew to your house. I record
LA right into your house. I flew and then the day after that we
went to the airport and we went to fucking Japan on an incredible flight.
Like I thought it was gonna be the worst flight ever, just because it's
like, it was like a fourteen hour flight and I was like, this
is gonna suck. We had like a layover in Washington. No, sorry,
yeah, we had an hour flight to Washington and then we had a
fourteen hour flight to Japan. I was like, this is gonna be fucking
horrible. So we get on the plane. I was like, nobody on
there for some reason. I feel like maybe maybe you looked at the seating
before it, because I feel like you knew that it was going to be
like light. We can still buy first class stuff at that Yeah, you're
right, we could have got bought the beds, which you didn't consider.
Yeah, we thought about it, but dude, first class ago Japan is
so much money. It would have been like thousands of dollars more each.
I think, yeah, right, yeah, that's totally not worth it.
No, but thankfully wouldn't have to do that because it turns out maybe it
is brother. It probably was. Yeah, it might be worth every pending.
So we get on the plane and we're all sitting together because we all
Hue boys, got seats next to each other. Uh, and there's a
ton of seats around us. But like we were like, ah, you
know, we're gonna hang out with each other, so whatever. Then one
of the stewardess looks at us three and she says, you three know each
other. We say yeah, yeah, well that probably would have helped either
way. I thought I was knowing each other would have like kept us together.
She was like, no one sits together on this fucking flight. She
didn't say fucking, she said, no one sits together on this flight.
So split up. So James has to move to like like the middle section.
But like there's no one with James. Like, I get you had
a whole road of yourself, didn't you. I think there was one person
at the other end. But yeah, because I saw, I mean there
was like a girl on like the other like far other side, and like
she was like laid out over three seats. I was like, dude,
what, Yeah, it's crazy. So it's it's it's I have the window
seat, then there's a seat, then there's Tony, and then there's the
aisle, and then there's James uh. And that's how we were. You
couldn't ask for like our first flight to Japan than that. Do you remember
what your flight the first time? Was? Like? Was it like that?
Yeah? Yeah it was? Or no, it was pack the first
time? I went, oh really, I'm pretty sure it was, yeah,
because I remember I remember I sat beside two people both ways, so
but I didn't have middle seat either way. I had had an aisle seat.
I was also like way skinnier back then, So like that flight was
so like so easy, Like it was so so easy. Well, don't
worry, you get your fill of middle seats. Yeah, yeah, this
is actually the deadlock plane ride from hill uh to get to the end,
stay tuned for the plane legit worst case scenario. It couldn't have been worse.
Really, the only thing that could have been worse is the planes to
start nose diving and crashed into the ground. At one point I thought it
was, but I'll explain that later. So, yeah, we're split up.
It's fucking awesome. We got tons of room, Like we got blankets
and pillows were hooked up and I'm like, this is fucking they got black
Adam. They got black Adam in the sub. So was it on that
one too? Yeah, yeah, okay, I thought that was just all
the way back, which is also a horrible incident there. So yeah,
fourteen hour flight to Japan. Every so often I'm looking over, James is
out, I'm watching a movie over there. No, you're movie was on.
Well, so I had like one of those. I had one of
those screens on the back of the seat. I don't know you guys ever
had these before, where like it only shows the whale. That was well,
of course that was an airplane release, so only the whale fourteen hours
airplane extended cut, which is what I watched the whole way there. Every
couple of hours, I would look over. James would be out, and
then he would be a wage and he would say, I'm watching the whale,
and then he would go back to sleep. I'd look for an hour
later, I'm watching the whale. He legit. I don't think I legit.
I do not even think he was joking. He legit had the whale
on fourteen hours you could. He couldn't tell me. He can tell me
nothing about this movie. I didn't. I was impressed that you were able
to sleep this much. No one, matter of fact. It's a matter
of fact. All right, here we go. No one has seen the
Whale as much as me. Dude, you have like a fucked up version
of your braid from hearing it as you were. The airplane fourteen. How
extended fucking directors? No one ever asked for that? Well, it was
it was locked in on the plane and that's all I could watch. I
watched a ton of others shit. I tried, like until he did,
dude, until we were hovering over Japan. Then I switched over to Friday.
It like finally unlocked Friday, finally unlock. That's a damn. I
finally don't have to watch the Whale. And then they were awake. I
was awaken. I was watching Friday. The Whale is like the best flight
movie ever. I've come the Lord because yea, because it lasts as long
as the flight does. That's crazy, bro, that is no, it
doesn't. But you should have. You should have watched what the girl in
front of you was watching. She was fired the fuck up. I don't
even know she was watching Sonic and she was losing her ship over. Yeah,
I was. I was like trying to press my screen to go watching
she was watching, but I just kept stuck watching the Whale. You can
have duct somebody's screen. Go on, man, can you tell me anything
about the Whale? Yeah? Yeah, look yeah, So all right,
So Brendan Frasier is fat and right his boyfriend died, but he he also
cheated on his boyfriend. So basically, The Whale is about a dude that
sucks y yeah, and his fucking daughter hates him. And at the end
of the movie, uh, he floats into the air just this guy.
So you've seen the beginning in the end, I watched it all for fourteen
hours, dude, Yeah, I did I have footage of you. I
filmed you sleep fourteen hours. They didn't turn me off the plane for doing
anything. I thought it was okay. Yeah, well they were kind of
concerned because the whale wasn't turned off on this well. Yeah, by the
way, that the girl in front of James is also part of this trip,
keep that in mind. So she's in front of super big Sonic fan
like Sonic shot eggman in the head with a gun and she said, yeah,
the airy eggman's bleeding out on the ground. I'm looking back here,
Brandon Fraser's reading an essay. No word, Yes, I did. I
watched the Whale. I just told you, like the whole plot of the
movie right there, you saw the beginning in the end, and I saw
in the middle. Dude, I watched, dude, where's my car?
On the flight? It was awesome. Oh that is good. Yeah,
I watched that, and I watched straight out of the End, and I
watched straight out of Compton. I watched that as well. You watch the
Whale. I did not watch whale fans out there or what there might be,
bro, no one's ever seen it. They all fall asleep or he
won an oscar or something. Is that right? Oh, I don't know.
You're lying. I've only seen the whale of the whale, so think
about so h Yeah, this was like, it didn't feel like a fourteen
hour flight. I think I slept. I slept maybe a couple hours.
James slept for fourteen James was sleeping good. Every there said that. I
was so impressed with how well you slept on that flight. I was so
jealous. Actually, if I'm not on the plane right from hill, I
can sleep very well on flight you made a four, it would by not
sleeping on the way back, I would Yeah, I know you're right.
I will say this much. It is so much easier to like enjoy the
flight when you're not a fat bastard. That's like, we don't know what
that's like, dude. I was just like, I was thinking about it
when I was on the second we'll talk about the second flight here, we're
all will but I was thinking about I was like, man, it was
so much easier to take this flight. Were more comfortable. First of yeah,
I feel like, yeah, when I feel like I sit down for
too long, when my tailbone starts hurting, dude, when you're selling that
wasn't so fun. Wucked up and my uh no, my neck was sucked
up on the one back. My tailbone was a disaster on both flights.
Ye, because that's like a big guy thing like we all was smaller that
didn't have that problem. Yeah. Yeah, I think I was like just
I was like in the middle or like on the like better side of like
super losing weight. When I went to England for the first time, and
like I was in a same situation as you, Like there was I was
full row, but like the flight wasn't as bad because I wasn't a fat
piece of shit. Shit, dude, skin, when you're like skinnier in
flying, it's not bad. It doesn't matter where I sit, you know
what I mean, It didn't matter. But yeah, once you know,
when you're up there in the pounds again, it actually adds pounds and shit
sucks. Man. Yeah, had me on the play feel like the whale.
So we get we Land, we get to Japan, and man,
Japan customs are awesome. Don't let them know this though, because then they're
gonna make it harder. But Japan customs are just sick. Yeah for real.
They just accept you. They say, welcome into our fucking country,
you piece of shit. And I say thank you so much. And now
it was actually harder leaving the airport than getting through the airport. So we
go through customs and we are trying to get to we're taking the train to
try to get to our airbnb. Uh, and we get so fucking oh
right, yeah, our friend's house in Japan which we were staying. Yes,
yes, it was a girl in front of us actually our house.
Uh so, how what run wrong here? James's yeah, no, okay,
yeah, So, like we didn't have Wi Fi yet, and I
was hoping at like, yeah, that was the biggest problems. We didn't
have Wi Fi yet. So I'm looking at Google Maps and like, um,
I didn't browser version because if I was on the app, it would
have been fine, but I couldn't access the app because there was no Wi
Fi. So like, for whatever reason, like Google work because it was
free. There was like free Wi Fi in the airport. In the airport,
so I was able to open it up on the browser, but once
we got on the actual train, I couldn't like access anything anymore. So
I get on the train and I'm like, oh, I don't want to
have any service at all, and I go, dude, we forgot the
Wi Fi boxes. We bought these Wi Fi boxes to pick up because we're
leaving, and I don't know if it was Tony or me that was like,
is there anything we're forgetting And the answer was no, because we just
wanted to go. We leave and then we realized we forgot the Wi Fi
boxes too. Thankfully we weren't too far away, but we were far enough
away it was one stop, but it was one stop that ruined our whole
live. Yeah. It's funny because like we thought we were on the wrong
train, but we were actually on the right train. It's we thought we
were on the wrong train, but we were on the right train. And
then uh yeah, we said to turn back around and go back to the
airport and go back upstairs in the airport, and then we got the Wi
Fi where they were at first because there was just a ton there's a ton
of Wi Fi stands everywhere. We figured it out eventually. Yeah, so
we end up getting them and then we set them all up and everything,
and they were awesome. Oh my god. I don't know if these things
exist in America, but these Wi Fi boxes were like the lifesaver of the
trip. These things were fucking sweet. We just carried them around and they
just the Internet all them was awesome. Yeah. Yeah, you said to
carry it like a backpack or a little uh we had like cross body bag.
Yeah yeah, and they're nice. We go back down and we get
back on the train. But we ended up happening. I feel like we
went back to the same turnstyle like four times. We legit. We legit
took the same train four times, I'm pretty sure, because we kept getting
we kept using the fucking like Sweeka cards the Pasma cards and not getting charged
because we kept going through the same turnstyle. Yeah. Yeah, we kept
going to the same We had the infinite money glitch on the turnstyle where we
kept using the sweekas and they just weren't getting charged because we had to figure
where we didn't go anywhere. Yeah, but we ended up getting on the
train. We were on the right train in the first place. You just
have to like get off the train and transferred. It was like to the
KQ line. But we didn't we didn't know. We hadn't know because I
didn't have the app open yet. Um, so we figured that out.
I think we had to go to the Shinagawa station and like we just couldn't
figure that out. So um, but we did not figure it out.
We got off and took I feel like it took an hour. I don't
know how long an actually took. It felt like forever. Yeah, it's
because we were walking around with a bunch of suitcases. Dude, you had
like infinite suitcase. I had two big suitcases and my laptop bag over my
shoulders. So I was struggling. It was horrible. Yeah, Tony's walking
around blasting day and night on his phone. Yeah, he said, you
lose me. Just listen for day and night. You did it the whole
day. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Which, by the way,
um that I did the same thing. Like I brought like two suitcases the
first time I went. Yeah, it's definitely a lot easier if you just
bring one. Um, you know, if you're not going to buy a
bunch of stuff just because, like you you do have to fucking climb shit.
It's like stairs and you gotta walk forever. It turned out I did
need them though, Well yeah, because you just buy a bunch of stuff.
But I mean, if you much, yeah, if you don't buy
like a big as, three big as things like I bought a bunch of
stuff, and you know once are a piece of shit. But we'll talk
about that later. I think that's all different than you're You're a big bastard,
is what you are. Well, that's true. So we get to
the air friend and uh this, yeah, this is his name. His
name is air Uh fucking awesome, this fucking place man a ton of room
for us uh and Sprite is already there by the way, Sprite is a
big part of the trip. Sprite helps us get a shouts out to Sprite.
Sprite helped us get like everywhere on this fucking trip, so big shouts
out to Sprite. He was already there because we made the mistake of I
guess it wasn't a mistake because Sprite it hooks Sprite up. But we booked
the airbnb like or air friend's house like a day extra that we needed didn't
need to because we forgot like we were getting there a day later in Japan
time. I don't think we really did too much that first night, other
than we walked around and then we went to that steak place I don't remember
the name of it. Um. Yeah. So we stayed in Shinokubo,
which is m like Korea town. So it's like like everything there is very
Korean influence. There's like Korean hot dogs, stuff like corn dogs. There's
cheese on everything. Everything is chicken and beer, like the hot areas beer.
Yeah, a bunch of easy kaias and stuff like that out there.
It's very fun area. That's where me and Sprites stayed the first time we
went to Japan, and I like fell in love with that area. There's
always something to do. It's like right beside kabuki chow. So like,
if you want to do more at night, you literally just walk, you
know, five minutes over to kobuki show and everything's open. You can get
fucking sweet pussy massage and KiB What are you want? You know, dude?
The only time that area isn't awake is seven am, from seven am
to eleven and then it's a week until until that time again. Yeah,
So if you're like, if you ever are going to Japan, you want
to staying like a fun, like lively area, it depends on which I
guess you want when you go to Japan, um because you you know,
obviously different areas have different you know, stuff going on. But if you
want to stay in an area like that where there's always stuff going on,
it's very lively. A ton of people, like a bunch of stuff to
do, a bunch of places to eat and drink, and you could try
you could honestly try something new every single night. It's yeah, Shinokabo is
fucking really cool stations right there too, So you don't have to go too
far to travel anywhere. It's it's a sweet area. Um. But yeah,
we went to this. We went over to Kobuki Show the first night.
Um or like right in New York. It might have been like right
outside kobuky Show. Yeah. Um. But there was a steak place that
was open twenty four seven um and it was awesome our new place. It
was like our favorite place. We went there so much. Yeah, dude,
it was fantastic. The uh they theyre this is crazy open twey over
seven beers and steak only in this fucking place. Pretty much it was just
beers and steak. That was like pretty much it. Um and we had
that the first night. Fucking beers, first night, it's cold glasses steak.
You couldn't ask for anything better after sweet flight man, Like, yeah,
it was it was a that was a good fucking night. Oh this
is when I find out that there's no tipping there, which was also awesome.
Yeah, a lot of cash based stuff over there, um, tons
of cash shit. Yeah yeah absolutely yeah. Like I was I feel like
I didn't use my like debit card the whole time. I was just loading
up my pasmo and like taking out cash, but like other than that,
like I wasn't I wasn't going to seven eleven and using my fucking debit card.
Oh yeah, I was surprised, um when I went back in twenty
nineteen, Like most of the machines were like squeak of machines in the airport,
but they I don't even know if I saw a sweaka machine when we
were there, like it might it might have been on the other side or
something. But oh yeah, it was just Pasmo stuff. We went there.
It was awesome. Um. Really couldn't ask for anything better. There,
no great first night. Yeah. Yeah, And like you know,
like the money thing is, it's way different too, Like you don't really
hand people money. You put in a little tray and all that. Yeah,
that was strange to get used to, but I did. And like,
oh my god, the amount of coins I still have all those fucking
coins. You probably do too. When I went to your house the night
before the flight, you showed me the fucking coin thing of coinback of coins
you had from your last trip pan trip. But it was like I was
like, holy shit, Yeah, dude, you know, I didn't understand
it, and now I do because I have the same amount now. Yeah,
yeah, I still I was looking at my ear was on my table.
I walked down the living room. When I came back, I was
like, God, damn it, these coins are all over the place the
U. It was funny because when we were there, like you started collecting
your seats and stuff. Yeah, and like I did the same thing,
like subconsciously, I did the same thing when I was there last time.
Like I still have every Convenient store receipt I ever had anything unless I accidentally
threw it away. I legit have every receipt from this trip. Yeah,
that's what I dude, last time I went, because we went to a
ton of wrestling shows too, like three thousand IQ brain. I brought like
a eight by ten folder. I got a checky folder like a baroid folder
that I brought with me too. That's fucking awesome. Yeah. And I
had like slots for all the tickets for all the shows too, so like
man, yeah, I was like collectored out. Yeah I had all this
sweet. We didn't do very much wrestling this show, No, we did,
or I'm sorry this this trip, well, we did. We did
ours and then we did two other shows, so I guess four shows technically
we did compared to twenty five million. Yeah. Yeah, that's Wrestle Kingdom
time. That's uh, that's a different chart. That's like Wrestle Kingdom times
like many a time in America. Yeah, you like gotta go to everything.
So the next day, uh, we go around, we're walking around
fucking town. Um. I think that's when we went to the first New
Japan store, the smaller one, which was like in a mall or something
like that. There's a pop up shop New Japan, Okay, yeah yeah,
um, which is where we got the little great okn plush, which
was awesome. That's right. It was like a anime store that had uh
like a pop up New Japan like it was. It wasn't too much.
It was like two shelves or the stuff was. Um no, I have
no idea where that was. Actually, if you need to know anything in
Japan, spright he knows we're fucking or you can tell you how to get
there. Yeah. So yeah, it did have stardom stuff as well.
We both bought Greto con plushes. I bought some cards. I don't think
Ty bought a hat there. We were trying to push down again, la
do Joe had he wouldn't do it. I think that's also the day that
we went to the porn store. Was that the first day or the next
day after thinks? I think so. I think it was a nutrivate store
and then porn store. Yeah. So we're walking by and we see this
like it's like a pink awning and James says, that's a porn store.
And I've laughed because I didn't believe him, and he's like, no,
no, no, there's like porn in there. I said, all right,
so we go we go into the store and he's not lying. It's
just like fucking porn everywhere. It's every kind of porn imagine playing on the
TV's, it's playing everywhere. Yeah, yeah, it's fucking I was like,
holy shit, this is crazy. There's a US section. I was
like, that's fucked up, but all right, I respect what's going on
here. And then there's also like one little like shelf, not the little
shelf, like one action in the middle that has shelves that has just like
actual movie releases. So like you can probably see it on James's Twitter.
Uh he found Star Wars there. Yeah, and I also found out that
uh, that you can rent a room from in this place for like an
hour to go watch these movies. Yeah, and jack off in the room.
Yeah yeah yeah. So like that's also in porn. I don't in
Japan, I don't know if you know that or not, but they use
these shops a lot where like to film porn star. Yeah, there's like
a whole series of porn shit in Japan where like a porn start will come
into a place like this and then like it's like a fuck a fan series.
I wouldn't know any of this. I just have heard down the line
from sources of mine was that the figure arts store that had like the black
Adam figure in the big Gnikuman was that what they call figure arts Yeah,
Thama something nations. I can't remember the name of it. I went to
it last time too, but it was a lot smaller last time, and
it wasn't that big as building. I guess they'd moved over that building.
Dude. This thing was awesome, Like, I mean, I don't think
I'm a nashi. Did you buy anything from there? No, No,
I did. I thought about it, Like there was a lot of cool
stuff there, Like they had Black Adam. There was a Black Adam and
Black Adam with Lightning. Yeah, you're right, it did. There was
a ton of shit in there, but like all the stuff that I wanted
to buy was not available to buy, Like you could buy like fucking squid
games figures. I was like, I don't fucking yeah, yeah, you
couldn't buy Yeah beast Gohan with the doing the special beat cannon. That was
awesome. Yeah, that was fucking sweet. There was like a kimicumon in
like a big ring. I was like, holy shit, I would have
bought that. Thankfully I didn't. I didn't because I didn't have enough room
by the end of this trip. By the way, this is all an
Achai Harbor. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we haven't gone anywhere yet here
no, I mean this is an Achai Harbor. So we we took the
train here. Oh sorry, that's yeah, which how far? And nothing
felt like too far train wise, Like no, I mean we stay on
the JR East line. So we were like, yeah, all within thirty
minutes of each other pretty much. Yeah, it was thirty minutes by train.
We went to a Gotcha place which is like just fucking floors and floors
of claw machines. We all I think we all left with something there.
Yeah, we beasted that out crazy we h. I got a big snore
lex for Debb because that's our favorite. Uh. And James got a fucking
Magic Carp which was what a fucking run that was. Yeah, Magic Carp
got beasted on by me, but of a fucking fight though, yeah I
did for some reason. I don't know what the deal was. Tony got
U super Mario, a Warrior fucking figure. Oh yeah, we got something
like on every single floor. Yeah yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah,
it was like a legendary gotcha run. You got a ton of shit
from there, I think, Yeah, yeah, I got like I got
the figures in the boxes and shit like on every floor. Like I was
like surprised to get like that shit every there. So they're super nice there,
like if you are struggling again, if you I don't know how much
the amount is, or if they just see you playing it for long enough,
but they'll come over and like open up the machine and put it in
a position for you to win, which happened often to us and we would
still fuck it off. But yeah, they're laughing at us. But they
were there for the pop when we got it. I was surprised that.
Yeah, they did it pretty quick too. It's like if you put a
thousand yen in the machine, they'd be like, I'll help you. Yeah,
yeah, here you go. You've you've earned this, yeah, which
is like America, they'll spit on you until you get the out. America's
ten dollars just to play. Yeah, ten dollars to play, and we
hate you and we're gonna lighten up this law fucking bitch. Yeah. But
yeah, we beated that out one a bunch of stuff. Yeah. I
got Raccoum in that. I think one of those man, Raccoum, Is
that right? Was that that one? I think Raccoum. Yeah. Well
he had a horrible fate near the end of this in the show, but
I think you've told me about it. When you got it, he said,
this guy got and he got fun by me in the gotcha. That's
awesome, bro, probably in the room too. Yeah. Well, dude,
he got fucked up right front with him in the damn suitcase. I'll
tell you that. You gotta remember that. We also went to UH before
we left Akihaboro. We went to UH the cafeteria food place. Oh my
god, we did. We went to the family brunch. I couldn't believe
what I was looking at. I was like, I got in, I
was like, oh, I cannot wait to fucking slam some beers. I
was like, damn, you know, fresh off these gotcha wins, I
slams some damn beers. Oh my god, that's right. We did have
all that shit in our hands too. Dude. Yeah, we get in
this place, we sit at like a little booth. They give us,
like this is a place for babies. Family. Yeah, very family.
There's like a and then we were sitting there ordering ship and then this fucking
little robot cat comes out and it's delivering everyone's food. Each other was like,
what the fuck is going on here? Man? Are we a cat
robot delivering Hamburg steak milk? I don't I don't want your glass of milk
at Hamburg Steak? What a fucking big beer? Now? Now tell your
fucking owner to get us a beer now, cat thing, dude, Tony
was up getting I think he was getting a because I didn't want to move.
James and I were on the same side of the booth. That meant
nobody was moving. Neither of us wanted to move. So I asked Tony
to get me a drink. Uh, And Tony got up to get the
drinks. Places built for little children. I'm not about for us, No,
no way, man, Tony is getting me a drink, and that
fucking robot cat like fucking bows up to him like he's he's like trying to
fuck Tony up. Because Tony's in the way. I thought Tony was gonna
upcut the thing. I had to all that Hamburg steak, get head on
it. Yeah, it's about all they had to Hamburg stage. Yeah,
fries, Yeah, get your fries and glass of milk. Get your three
SIPs of coke per glass. Three SIPs of coke? Was fit. I
am Aki Bono in this bit, you understand. So we're gonna give me
a big beer now. I tried to forget about that place that was brutal.
I was like, God, damn, this is tough man, Like
the rice weren't even fresh and feel I was like, bro, what the
fuck I'm in school right now? This is that was one food. I
was like, what the fuck are we doing? It was too late.
We were already committed. We couldn't leave. Yeah, you're right. We
sat down in the cat sauce. But then yeah, we went to the
cat and stared us down. He fucking intimidated us. It was sucked up.
Then we went to the wrestling store. Uh, tons of fucking stuff
in this I was hoping for more char pros, though I feel like there
was more like WWF tight and drown figures than char Pros, which I was
pissed off about. But it was okay, there was. That's where we
saw the big Jesse Ventura figure, which I also couldn't have bought because I
didn't have fucking room. It wouldn't have made it home with me. You
could have took it out of the box, No, dude, no way,
that fucking thing. Yeah, do you on the ball? Let it
breathing? Where am I let it breathers? Dude? I think he would
have got crushed in my bag, like it would have snapped him in half.
I don't know. I don't think there was room for everything I put
in my bag. Made it fine. Yeah, well you're an asshole,
dude. You gotta take him at the boxes. You know. I used
to be a box guy. And then I fucking said no more, no
more of this ship. I was held back. I looked at my room.
There's nine hundred pop finals do in the box. I started punch them
all my bare hands. I'm trying to say I would have the boxes.
Anyone fucking chopping my room like a boxing Put your boxes up. I like,
it's a real story. I felt liberated. I said, fucking up
boxes. That's fucking fuck up. Man, really need help? No,
that Actually that didn't help me. It doesn't seem like it's helped you.
You've only got more fucking insane since that. Well yeah, well then I
had, you know, go to my next vice. Uh so I don't.
Although that was also where we saw the row of rye back figures.
Every right back fake You're imaginable was in this one by one. You also
didn't get the Wade Barrett one. I didn't see the Wade Barrett one.
Yeah, they had three of them that. You didn't buy the ECW tag
title replica, Oh I didn't see it, Yes you did, Yeah I
did, But you would if it was the real one, because I think
you said you said it's the real one. You would have bought it it
was the real one. Oh yeah, if it was like ring used or
something short Kill used yeah, dude, Yeah, that would have been so
based signed by him, signed by that he, that would have been fucking
crazy. He probably sells that himself. Yeah, you probably right. Actually,
you go to a conn or something you buy it from. I think
that that night is the night we ended with getting ufo chicken. That was
sweet. That was sweet. But that is where you guys got fucked on
the all you can drink beers. Oh yeah, time limited all you can
drink beers because they were closing. Yeah yeah, they were like, yeah,
we're closing like thirty minutes. I'm like, okay, well I'm just
gonna slam as many of these as I can't, so just keep him going.
Dude, Sprite's a crazy drink. I feel like he's done a drink
before you even look at yours. Yeah no, oh yeah, and Sprite,
dude, I couldn't believe it. I remember the last time he went
like Sprite was slamming like triple tequilas Spright was getting a little a little tipsy
whipsy off fucking light beers. I said, Yo, this is dude.
There's one night that Sprite was like my favorite guy ever. He turned into
a different beast all again. That was crazy. Uh. And then the
next day is when we went to start them, which I forget where.
That was Yokohama. Yeah, that was fucking cool. The again once again,
Uh, these seats not made for us. Dude, I'm I'm fucking
a fat bassard right now. But I'll give it this much. I could
sit in them and it was fine. So like it gets worse, yeah,
it gets it actually gets astronotically slater. But yeah, the Yokohama Arena
seats were not bad. That was him Becau's retirement show. And also they
decided to change every belt they had and every fucking belt that was so fucking
sick. I was. I was awesome. That was my first I've never
been to starting them before. Did you've been, think right? Yeah?
Yeah, why I went back the last time I went to own live,
they weren't owned by Bushi Road, I don't think. Oh it was a
long time ago. Yeah, yeah, okay, they were still running Shanquiba
back when I when when I was going, oh my god, they don't
even getting near that. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty filled too. Yeah.
I think they had like six thousand people there or something, which is
like a fucking lot it's definitely probably their most attendant show. I'm pretty sure
I think they said that. Yeah, I think they did say they like
broke like I think they broke like pay per view buys as well. Like
the record Mercedes Mona came out with a song she rapped, and I like,
I assumed you could hear it on the live stream, but you couldn't.
Wait what I didn't know. I actually didn't know that people couldn't hear
that, So, like I posted, I guess they just like muted it.
Oh, because yeah, it's a first it's a money that plays for
like a minute and then it cuts into a whole different song. It feels
like of her rapping. Yeah, So I posted that and then like people
were like, is that her rapping? I'm like, I just assumed no
one was watching the pay per view, but yeah, I guess like she
retweeted, I guess like no one heard that until like I plewed out that
video. What the fuck? I didn't know that. I thought that she
just retweeted because it was a good video and as a reward, I was
blocked by the Japanese Stardom account. So thank you appreciate it. You wait,
what why because you were recording at the event. I don't know they're
they're sometimes wow, shout out Suddy. I appreciate you, bro, but
yeah, that is I didn't know that happened. That is fucking awesome.
That show was long. That was long as as show it was. They
had like forty five matches. Uh. There was some sweet fucking matches on
that show though, And like you said, every title goddamn changed, which
was darly. Yeah, that was that was pretty cool, like Maya winning
the title and everything. I guess it makes sense. They introduced some other
title too. Was super excited about Tam winning. Well that's his favorite wrestling.
Yeah, yeah, this big Tam as well. You said, what
was the imp wanted to talk about that? Yeah? Yeah, they well
they introduced the new Strong women's title. Oh yes, so I think the
I think the original thing was that they wanted my you to win the title
initially and go to America. They weren't going to pay her more money,
so she said no. So then I think they introduced a new title for
America. Oh, they gave you the one that's probably gonna stay primarily in
Japan, Okay and jan Uh you know that makes sense. Yeah, sure,
good business, brother. Yeah, maybe I'll work for this dude,
or maybe maybe I'll take all the titles dude. Uh yeah, long fucking
show, but I enjoyed it. That was my first wrestling show in Japan,
so that was pretty like significant for me. Yeah, yokoham Arena being
the first shows pretty crazy, and that seemed like a pretty monumental show for
them. Yeah, like in terms of attendance buys. Uh, changing all
the belts, yeah, tam win the belt. Yeah, thanks to Sprites,
right, I mean I was hoping she would get it done for Sprite
and she did, so that's all. Yeah. Yeah, which is you
know, he was like crying. I was like that was a little weird.
Yeah. I thought he was like drinking, but he wasn't. He
was just sober. He was up. Yeah yeah yeah, but like he
cried like that whole night. He said the dam story got finished, so
he was yeah he was. Yeah, he like fist bumped like everyone around
him. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna scene. Actually yeah, we were
all like damn, damn, damn that we were like we were he was
saying we were trying to leave and he wouldn't leave. He was like he's
gotta like embrace this moment. Like five minutes after the show, there's no
one there, Like, way do I go broad damn? Damn? Yeah
guy, Yeah, which is cool, you know, like no, you
know, to see your favorites. You know, he traveled all the way
there to see that. Uh yeah. So he left Japan right after this
show. He didn't even hang out with us the rest of the trip.
He just left. He just left everything. He's yeah, he was crying
on the whole way back. He caught on the flight. Yeah, he
just kept text his tam. Yeah. I haven't heard anything from him,
sins. He's just it's just crazy. Just make sure you let him know
that. Yeah. Absolutely. So the next day we go to a few
cool plays. This is Monday. So we went to the Parstling Champion store
much smaller but had a bunch of fucking shirts and you bought one oh yeah,
it was all japan women's shirt that had like a bunch of signatures on
it. It was one of like four thousand yen or something which were like
thirty fucking yeah. The yen is fucked right now. So like everything over
there, you know, we felt like millionaires like this because like, you
know, dude, I know, I was taking out like fifty thousand yen.
It was like three bucks. Oh my god, it's like a thousand,
one thousand yen When I went the first time, was you know,
pretty equivalent. It was like one to one pretty much. On thousand yend
was like ten bucks. Thousand and end right now is like seven dollars or
something. Yeah, yeah, that's like crazy. It was sweet. Yeah,
it was awesome as fucking awesome as hell. Yeah, yeah, James
bought that shirt. I bought a little like it was like a bat that
like was wrapped in uh like just wired to make it look like barbar And
it was signed by Onita, which was cool. And the guy that I
bought it from was like, oh Nita. I was like, hell,
yeah, fucking Nita, go damn it. I like the son of a
bitch. Would they give you? They give you like a They gave me
like an Onnita versus ten Rue program, which was cool. Yeah, they
gave me a program for a nineties all Japan show. Yeah. I don't
think Tony anything from No. They did have which I almost bought, but
it was like the worst qualities shirt ever. Uh. They did have a
big roun and heavy d WCWS shirt. Yeah they did. Yeah, h
bomb h bomb on the back of it. I said, this is insane,
How is this even here? There was a few fucking weird shirts.
They had the uh rick Steiner fucking Scott Steiner and his ass shirt, which
is a legendary shirt. At this point, I think we did we give
that away at some point. Yeah, yeah, that's great. Yeah,
ago, that was years ago. It feels like now, Um, a
bunch of ten A shirts too, uh vhs is They had a ton of
They had a cool like wing section of shirts too. Yeah, a bunch
of fucking cool stuff in there. And then we went to the Tokyo Dome.
Oh yeah, that's right, which was fucking cool as fuck, like
walking up to that thing, seeing like the Tokyo Dome in person, because
you know, like a bunch of million shows in that fucking place. By
this point, it's like, Wow, this is real. This is a
real place that exists. And we took a picture in front of it and
it was very cute and I was very happy that we did that. Yeah,
Cork and Hall is right beside Tokyo Dome for people. I didn't know
that. That's part. I didn't know. Fucking I was like, because
you were like, yeah, I want to go to Cork and I was
like, oh, where's that at? And you're like down the stairs over
here as a one Yeah. Yeah, so Corgan's like on the first floor
and then you go up like two sets of stairs and you're at the Tokyo
Dome. Oh we also had Tokyo Dome shake shag. Yeah. That was
like was that that wasn't here? No? I think it was. Yeah,
yeah, I think it was because we were looking at Babe Ruth on
the stairs. Yeah, that's up. I was fucking GOBOXI built what was
wrong with you? Motherfucker? When I went the first time, they had
tendered you with his big and large cock on the staircase. I didn't know
that was some fucking baseball guy. Yeah, piece of kidding me, Babe,
Who the hell is that? That's not tendering you with big cock?
Dude? One month, big cock tinder. You started nine promotions and they
all failed. It was Babe Ruth think about that for what your day and
has a huge cock? So what's all you? Brother? Not anymore?
Well? It was fucking sweet dude that probably was Yeah, everything straight,
but keep crazy, and he couldn't take it, like, you know,
you felt like you could have to take a self He wasn't taking boloid dog
pictures, so he probably Babe Ruth was hitting dingers against a bunch of plumbers.
Yeah, bro, sorry, losing money. And then we went to
prominence, said Corrigan, which was that show was fucking sweet. But but
RNE seats were invented to ruin my fucking day. Dude. Fuck man,
I don't even think Tony could fit into these fucking thing. Tony was struggling
in these things. These are for like babies. This is a baby venue.
The fuck is going on with these RNE seats? Man? Yeah?
Well, I mean, okay, so we I think I was told we
had flour seats. I was like, oh, I should be. We
weren't told this because oh because we went out to eat with God damn it.
Uh Andrew and Steven Stephen. Yeah those are cool guys. I liked
them. Yeah, and I thought we had flour seats, but we ended
up having the literal last row of orange seats you can have, which is
crazy. That's a crazy difference floor seats and the last seat of orange seats
you can get so for people who don't know you. If you've ever seen
Cork and you probably don't even see the arm seats very much, but they
have the three ring side in them. The other side is just like theater
seating that goes all the way back their arm their range seats, that's what
you call the orange seats. And they are so small. They're so small.
They are super small, like not even like I'm sitting on the edge
of this small when Yeah, when I was, we accept that we're fat
pieces of ship. Dude. When I was I was two huning ten pounds
that it was hard for me to sit in it, you know what I
mean, and I was pretty lean. Um, but yeah, like this
time, no way, man, I was like, this sucks. This
is I was so bad. So yeah, there you go. If you're
if you go to Japan and you are overweight or like you know, not
super fit or super skinny, fucking just get bleacher seats or floor seats at
Cork and don't we don't even try to get the orange seats. Just a
waste of time, no fucking way, dude. Ye man, Yeah,
it does suck, but this show was fun. It says there was like
seven hundred people there, which, yeah, it was their their anniversary show.
Did it feel like that many people do you? Um? Yeah,
I mean the artist seats were pretty full. Yeah, I guess you're right.
It was pretty fucking surrounded by us. Yeah. Um, this show
was fucking cool. I got to see a jun Kaside death match in Corgan.
Susan's Suzuki was fucking oh my god, it was fun as well.
Uh, you had a fucking good match. That was fucking sweet. Yeah,
Susan announced after a match and she's leaving prominence. Yeah, holy shit,
that was I didn't I found out from Sprite, who was three seats
dound for me looking at his Twitter. He didn't tell us in person.
Very strange he was, and he kept saying, TAM. I was very
I don't know what was going on. Yeah, he said he was just
watching TAM matches on his phone the whole time, and he said, I
think Susan just I said what and it was already back watching TAM highlights.
Yeah, damn, damn. Yeah, it was great. But it was
fucking super cool seeing that again like June, because I deathmatch in Japan is
like something I never thought I would see before. So that was I was
very happy about that. Regardless of the seats, they could have been better.
They were hard. And then the next day was our show was us
in Deep Deep and got to move day one at Shinkiba First Ring, which
is pretty fucking crazy to say that we ran a show there. Yeah,
you're right, that should be up on DPW on a man this weekend hopefully.
Yeah. And this show was fucking sweet. Man, this show is
fucking sweet. I was super happy with this. It was definitely like running
a show there. It was like way different than I thought it was gonna
be. Um. I mean, I knew we had like a limited time
in the venue, but like in terms of just like how things are run
there, I was like, wow, this is like super different than what
we do. We do way too much. Well yeah, well like we
do even when it I guess even if you want to, like compare DPW
two a lot of other indies, like we put it like on a full
scale production, like you have to get there and then like we have to
do we have almost Yeah, we have so much ship that we have to
rede. Yeah. Yeah, we have to get like pre tape for stuff
like the videos you put together and then like in between slots and stuff,
so like you know, most like I think, I think like MLW,
like they fly people in the day before before or the day after. Sure
they keep them there and just do it the day after, but like,
yeah, we can't do that, so like we have to do everything the
day of. So like it's a long day, you know what I mean.
It is it's fourteen hour days usually yeah, yeah easy. Um.
And then you know in in like Japan for like Shinkiba, you know you
get the venue for six hours. Yeah it's great. You have to be
out or the fucking charge you for all another day, I think, yeah
something, Yeah it was a lot or something like that. Yeah. Um.
So yeah, I mean like it was a pretty tight ship. You
know, everybody knew what they were doing before they step in the building,
and we just fucking had to do it, you know. Yeah it got
and it got done. Yeah, yeah for sure, dude. The Reset
and Luminous tag is like so fucking gnarly, Like I can't I can't wait
to watch that back. Uh. And the CDK Violence tag match was also
like they both tag matches were out of control on these on this fucking show.
Yeah, everyone was working super hard, Like it was so nice to
see like everybody really dowed in and like they were you know, they really
put their heart into it. Was cool. Yeah, it was. It
was fucking sweet. So, like James said, those would be up on
our own demand probably this weekend, as in like after this comes out.
So oh yeah, they played violences wrong theme song, Yeah what we still
if you is that going to still be on the show. Yeah, I
guess, uh, if you can figure out what that song is, let
us know, we have no fun poppy or something. I didn't sound poppy
to me at the time, but maybe it is. I don't know.
We were super confused. We thought that they picked it because it was like,
Okay, we're in Japan, we're gonna do like something new, just
to like have that. I was like, oh okay, that's cool,
like and then they thought we ribbed them. Yeah, they thought like we
were ribbing and like picked some song. But then like we thought they wanted
to and then we thought they were getting ribbed by like got to move like
I think, like I think what happened was is that like the dude that
was running sound just didn't know I don't know if he knew the sound file
he was supposed to play or something, and like that's because yeah, because
if he had yeah, he had multiple ones, so yeah, which was
that was very fucking funny too. But that did not stop them because they
had to kill her ass fucking match. It was sweet, dude, It
was very good. Yeah. I was very happy with that show. And
then the day after that, we went to two Repairs steak houses. Oh
yeah, that was crazy. So we go. We go to the one.
There's two Rebairs steak houses, which I didn't know. There's an the
OG and then's a new one. So we went to the OG one because
we were like, okay, I'm glad we did both. By the way,
I am too. That was very funny. I'll never forget that.
We wanted jackets. We thought that was the coolest shit ever. We want
a jacket. We wanted the robe jackets. We needed so bad jackets.
Yeah, so we go to the OG because in my mind, I was
like, the OG would have the fucking jackets because it's the OG. Well
I wouldn't. So we walk in the original Ribera is like the smallest place
ever. There's no fucking way Vader was in here. There's no fucking way,
no no way. Shut the whole fucking place now to get Invader in
there. It's the goddamn way and pictures there. How the fun did he
walk in this place? It's impossible. Where did they have room to take
the pictures? Yeah? Literally, they had to like add more walls in
this bitch. They actually didn't fun with us. Yeah, put up the
white boy wall. That was crazy. Yeah, there's no goddamn way.
So yeah, it's like it's legit. Just a row of stools. That's
the amount of room that you have in there. There's the guy behind the
bar, which is, by the way, classic in Japan, everything like
everything is like super small, like thet and like yeah, it's like,
uh they have like one they have a bar and then you sit down and
then that's all you got. Type of thing. That's the real experience of
Japan. Everything else is uh fake Japan. It is. Yeah, this
was authentic and that's I'm glad we went to this one because I think this
one's steak was better. Me too, Yeah, don't. I don't know
why I thought there was no like, no no rarity option. You got
rare and that's all you got. But it was awesome. I liked me
too. Yeah. I heard a lot of people say that like it wasn't
it wasn't so great, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I enjoyed
it too. And we we already had steak while we were here, like
twice. That's some majority of what we ate. Yeah, so like I
know, you know, I mean I had something compared too. Yeah.
Um, and yeah, I thought it was solid. Man, I definitely
could ate more. Yeah, we almost because we almost did. Yeah,
oh my god, Okay, so we get it was I think we got
like a half pound steak and we eat that and yeah, you're right.
I look at James and I'm like, dude, I'm still hungry. He
said, I am too. I was like, you only another one?
He's like, I probably am. We ended up not getting another one there,
but it was a good decision because then we we were trying to get
the jackets and he gave us a little card. He says, oh,
the new one has the jackets, and we said, uh, fuck,
okay, well we'll just go some other time. So we're walking we leave
there. It's again cool player, like tons of fucking pictures everywhere. I
have video of of it'll it'll go up at some point. Um. Yeah,
tons of pictures everywhere, just like autographs. There's one girl there that
I I we have no fucking idea who was. I swear it was a
Sleazia's Sparks, but there's no I don't. I don't know if Sleazi's Warks
ever did a Japan tour, so that would have been insane if it was.
You can't get you can't get beer at the og uh oh yeah,
that's right. You could just get wine. I think that they make or
something. It's like their original wine. Did you have it? No,
No, I'm not. A Tony might have had it or Sprite had it.
Yeah, Tony thing had it. Yeah, Tony like the special like
steak sauce too. That was good. Oh that's right. I don't.
I don't think I had that. I think he did give it to you.
He poured it down your throat. Actually I watched him do it.
Yeah, and I succulated all on that ship. That should I mean it
would have been disrespectful to Vader, who wasn't in Well, Elesia Sparks also
enjoy it. Long. I don't know where we were planning on going after
that, But at some point during the walk leaving there, I swear it
was you that said, let's just go to the other one. And I
immediately, because I was still hungry, I was like, fuck yeah,
I wanted to go. Uh So we went. We went to the fucking
second one, like not even an hour after we went to the first one.
Yeah, we're just walking around and we are like, what are we
gonna do? It is like what you guys have ling get some food?
I said, fuck it, We're just gonna go to the other one.
Yeah, why not? So we go there. This is a much bigger
one. Take the bus for the first time. Oh that's right after Sprite
walked on it and I realized we were taking the bus. Yeah where the
bus up? Uh so, Yeah, much bigger fucking place, but still
pictures everywhere. Uh. And we sit down and we're talking and I don't
know who noticed it first. We Tony points up to directedly like like diagonal
from us. They couldn't have been like it was like meant to stare at
us. Looks up and then there's a picture of Crisp and Wall staring directedly
down at us. The entire time, and I said, there's there's no
fucking way. There's the fucking way that this is. I'm in Ja and
with these fucking guys, and I'm at Ribera and Chris Wise watching us.
This is impossible. There was also about super Base the first train we took.
By the way, James looks right at me, Nieces, I can't
believe I'm looking at your goofy fucking face right now. You're right. I
did said that that was like real early super earlier. Yeah, yeah,
we were taking like the we're all on the yellow note liners something that I'll
look over and like as we were taking this so much because I stayed like
the same area I first went, and I look around my laft, I
see this guy looking at me on the train. What are you doing here?
I assume that's every person there that was looking at us like that,
Lily, Yeah, theseus look at these fucking guys. Yeah, these guys
are annoying you. But yeah, so we get steaks at this place.
Steaks weren't as good, but we got our jagget. Yeah. We said
we're promoters and these are our wrestlers right here. Yeah, we're in We're
from velocity. Look at this. You just weren't shin Kyba first ring.
Yeah, you see this picture of us were in the ring because this is
after night one, so we had vision of us in the ring. Yeah,
that was awesome. We got our jackets. That was awesome. Man,
Uh stole mine? Well, okay, that's not exactly it's not exactly
the truth, because you were supposed to get another one. You had given
me this one because it fit me. You were going to get another one.
You weren't. You were a very nice guy. But now you're saying
I should have given a bag. No, I didn't say you should give
it a bag and stole it. That's not true. He did that right
in front of Christmas wat So make sure you understand that. And he improved
this Chrismal wall picture, by the way, is insane. They like they
backed this guy. He like came out of the bathroom and like they like
had the three deep dissass and said picture picture picture. He said, a
gay jacket. He's fucking so miserable. Yeah, it's like he came out
of the bathroom and then like it's essentially the the mom I threw up thing,
that's what. Yeah, it looks like he threw up for them.
Yeah. Yeah, they took a picture of him. Was there by himself.
Yeah, he just like stopped in the use the bathroom or something.
It looked like yeah, I don't know what year that was, but definitely
looked like oh four been wir or something like. It was definitely yeah,
yeah, like later been wa two like not not like you know, Vegas
kid or it might have been from this tour that were it could have been.
Yeah, it could have been. Okay, yeah it could have been.
They just fucking locked him in there picture please and he did no choice.
Yeah. Yeah, he didn't want to take it. He didn't want
him to put it up, but well they did it. Watches over all
the guys, he's at the table and dable. Yeah, so we all
got our jackets and that was pretty fucking cool. And I think that was
the only thing we did that night. Um. Then the night after that
we did a lot. First, two ribs is crazy, that well legendary.
Yeah, the bus super is the legendary. Nobody's done that before.
We should have got like our picture on the wall and just we're doing that.
Then the night after that or sorry, day after that was Day two
of our show at Shinjuku Face uh and fucking the most based, fucking Emmy
soccerra Yuki Takas Day match ever, first time match ever, and they don't
need to do it again because it was so fucking good. This match is
odudbelievable. Dude. Yeah, no, it is like that. It was
like it was like a spark of lightning hit that hit that room. It
was due. It was like, I know, I listen, I've seen
a lot of shit and I'm not fucking I swear at one point I might.
I don't know if it was Tony or James looked there. I said,
dude, I'm like uncomfortable, like they were fucking knocking the ship out
of each other. Dude, it was based. It was awesome. Uh,
that was fucking fun to tell. Yeah, definitely seek out that fucking
match for sure. Day two of Deep two we got to move and we
also saw death Worm. Oh yeah, death Worm was crazy. War fell
on its back outside the ring and couldn't get up. Then Uhano and Rina
Yamashta beat the Oh my god, oh god. This tag they have,
like Rina and Haigana are different teams in this tag and they get like a
minute in the ring with each other and I do that. That was a
shoot, brother, That was so Yeah, that was unbelievable. Yeah,
they they they're ready, you know what I mean. Violence and CDK beat
the shit out of each other again in the Ape Man. Yeah. Absolutely,
anytime they got in the ring with each other, dude, because throwing
five rounds. Yeah, Chris Brooks killed Kevin Ko on a tiger driver did
it? Was awesome to Chris Brooks is too tall, by the way,
There's no fucking reason for a guy that big to be existing or existing in
Japan. It's fucked up. Yeah, you're right, but he is fucking
awesome. He I didn't realize how in the trenches Chris Brooks is in terms
of season to be fandom, he knew everything that I knew. He knew
like people that I haven't talked to it forever. But that just used to
post on fucking ceasy to be fans. Unfucking believable, crazy son of a
bitch, this guy. So yeah them nuh So the show happened, We
hung out with the crew after that was fucking that was cool. And then
after that was the day we went to the fucking Nintendo Pokemon store. We
went. We went to three shitty stores that day. We went to the
Nintendo's store, the Pokemon store, and this is Zuki store and they all
suck. No, I didn't. There was nothing for me there, No,
I really I only went to both those stores for Debb. I don't
even care about any of that ship. I was just trying to find stuff
for her up. I like that in there. Oh kah, there was
there wasn't. There was a Capcom one too, right, Yeah, but
I think that's there all the time. Okay, that wasn't a pop up?
No, yeah, I think that's there all the time. Yeah.
I wasn't crazy about those stores. I expected the Pokemon one to be like
out of control, but like it wasn't. There was like really nothing there.
You didn't take a picture with them, Metuo. No, why were
you surprised? Because every fucking tourist takes a picture of the met you have
to It's like, well, if you would have said we should take a
zandig picture in front of this, I would have yeah, well I have
I have a picture in front of it. So I didn't think yeah when
I first went, I got a yeah, yeah, YouTube and the fucking
two were kidding. I took a picture of it, but not with it.
Yeah, damn. Yeah. We went to Minora Suzuki store, which
was not really much rocking there either. I was also that was fucking cool.
Yeah, she is fucking awesome and she remembered us, which was very
fucking cool too. Yeah that was awesome. Yeah. Um, they had
these like Suzuki fish lures, which I almost bought, but they were super
expensive, like one hundred fifty bucks. Yes, yeah, for sure,
I said, No, we're good on that ship. Yeah. We used
spinner baits out here. Brother. You know, I get a spinner bait
fucking a dollar seventy five. You don't want to mangled limbs fishlert Yeah I
don't think so, brother. Okay, it wasn't catching nothing with that faredof
No. Hell no, bro, nothing on it either out there, nothing
on it. Spinner bait that I'm winning. That's how we war boys.
You're crazy fishers out there. Goddamn it. My dad's out there. He's
not listening, buddy, Yeah, he's list he likes it. That's what
I was gonna buy it for him, because you know, as fucking as
Zuki my dad watches more wrestling than I do now, which is he was.
He was next to me about Dom Greeney versus Fred Rosser while I was
in Japan. It's going on here. Uh. Then the night after that,
we went to the Juician Ligar pop up, which also wasn't too great.
Uh. It was like a They called it like an exhibition, which
I guess is more what it was. There wasn't too much that. I
mean, there was some shit to buy there, but it was just like
you know, liger stuff on camera or on TVs there, excuse me,
um, But that did lead us to the mall that it was in,
which had a ton of cool fucking shit. It was a tough lot of
stores there, uh that I bought a fucked up amount of video games from.
Yeah, we went, well, we went to don Quixote. First.
I saw usually Hino on some rhino pills, Like he's just like advertising
rhino pills and don Quixote. Don Quixote is pretty fucking crazy. You can
get a ton of everything there. You can get like cocks, wooden cocks
and twelve thousand year old burgers. Okay, yeah, what do you think
about it? Really? Yeah, you're right, we went to uh Nitzka
Tiger. Oh that's right, that's right. Okay, yeah, yeah that
was cool. Yeah that was a cool shop. And uh yeah. Then
we went to Yeah, the place that we went to, by the way,
was not Gonna Broadway. Okay, that was so not gonna Broadway.
Has like a bunch of stores and ship you can buy and oh that's We
went to fucking TGI Friday. It got super white boy taxed. Yeah.
TGI Friday was just like a million dollars. It was fucking bad pasta for
twenty million dollars. Dude, I asked for medium, rare steak. They
gave me the most well done steak up offside, I didn't want to,
like, I didn't want to like preface it with like I know, like
that's why I don't like if I go TGI or Applebee's or yeah Ruby Tuesdays,
they're gonna up. Yeah I'm not getting a steak. Bro I already
know they're good. But I was like, I was just like whatever I
was just because we had we had been walking around forever. It was also
a forty minute way to get into TGI, and we just accepted it.
And when walked around then that's when we went to the fucking Tiger shoe store,
and I was like, fucking whatever, dude, I should have just
got chicken tendees. Tony got fucking fish and chips, which I also thought
was ballsy. Yeah, you're right, it is pretty ballsy, the American
cuisine of fish and chips and shrimp pasta. Of course, I didn't have
a big brick of mozzarella. That was good. I was happy about that.
That was good, you know, But it costs all all the potato
skins were there. It fucking cost a lot. Yeah, for no fucking
reason. It's probably, you know, an unprecedented five thousand dollars yain seating
charge. I'm sure, dude. Well we're about to get into that too,
because I think this is the same night as that. So yeah,
the big this do you know what this fucking mall was called, the one
that had the like that I bought all the video games and ship from it
that I was knocking a Broadway. Oh that wash, that's what that's called.
Yeah? Oh okay, yeah, um yeah, I bought a ton
of fucking games. I saw you bought some or did you just win shit
at the gotcha? I was gonna buy the Astro Mega ship shout out in
space where all my three three five ers at. But no, I didn't.
But you did win something because there was more gotcha games there. I'm
the winner of all gotcha games. You want two things? You didn't even
know what the fuck they were. You just played it? Yeah, I
just played it one. It was one on one. Uh, a little
dude from chainsaw Man. I also got spoiled on chainsaw Man. Shitty store,
fig Yards store. Yeah, they had a display for chainsaw Man and
I hadn't didn't even know. I didn't even know I was looking at.
I said, dude, it was unbelievable spoilers right away. I couldn't believe
it. But yeah, I went a little plush. And then, uh,
we're trying to win like a PS five or something. Oh shit,
oh my god. Yeah, I just, oh my god, want another
Dragon ball Z figure. We so Tony and James and maybe Coop. I
don't remember if it was cool out, but I know you two were trying
to win that PS five And all of a sudden, this lady walks up
behind us, and she says, oh, what are you guys doing.
I look over and I'm like, dude, what the fuck? That's crazy.
Just a woman comes over and said, what are y'all doing in Japan?
To look at Tony. I'm like, like, dude, was this
fucking chick on our flight? And he's like, holy shit, Yeah,
I said, where you on our flight? She's like, oh my god.
I was like, there's no fucking way you walked up to us and
didn't know the fucking way. Yeah. This same girl that was super pumped
about Sonic on our fight girl just found us in this fucking place. She
was like, and dude, she said she spent like I swear. She
said she spent like a hundred grand, one hundred thousand yen in the Pokemon
store. I swear, she said, pencil she bought like, she went
to like the Pokemon cafe, and shit, she said, she spent so
much fucking money. Okay, the cafe is different. So like the cafe
I remember, like I looked at it when I went the first time.
You have to reserve that, yes, months in advance. Oh is that
right? It's not like it's not like something you can just get into.
Yeah. Is it unpopular? Is I want? Yeah? It's crazy?
Oh yeah, she said, she spent a crazy fucked up amount of money.
I was blown away, but I was like, this is fuck how
they probably have a twenty thousand years seating charge. That's my favorite thing,
fifty thousand years seating charge. Okay, they don't find out until after.
Yeah, you look at you like, I had four beers and it's eighty
five thousand year. How's this sad workout? Plugged up? Bro? Yeah?
Uh it was fucking crazy. Sadly James did not Winnips five, no,
man, but I got a know another dragon ball Z figure, So
you did. That's true, That is true. I think we go back
to the crib, but we go back out to meet up with Darren,
who takes us on the most fucked up journey ever. Uh yeah was super
based. It for everybody super based. So um yeah. So it was
we were going out to meet up with Darren and his buddy Andrew, who
worked that Got to Move show in Sprite and uh ho hol Loom was also
supposed to be there, but he wasn't there for whatever reason. I think
we love Yeah. Yeah, we talked to who while we were there,
actually, and they had a dragon Gate show the same day that we were
we were going that's right, Okay, you're right, and he's like,
you know, I'm beat up, Like okay, yeah, sure. Um.
So we ended up just meeting up with Darren at this I think it
was the DDT Bar. Super small place once again, big fat bastard,
I'm not spitting in that bit, super super small place. And we're seated
right next to the bathroom of this place. Yeah, so we're just talking
and you know, Darren's already blitz. I'm pretty sure by the time we
get there. M Sprites probably had a few drinks at this point too.
Sprite's very talkative, so he has had a bunch of drinks. Yeah.
This is in Kabuki Chow by the way, and uh, you know,
it's real small. You go down in there, you have to like go
down into it. Um and you go in there and they have just bar
food and all that shit. Anyways, there's a bathroom beside us to the
right and it's closed. Like a guy goes in there and it's locked,
and like, you know, we obviously we're not thinking anything of this doesn't
matter until uh, this girl goes over there and like tries to get in
the bathroom and it's not working, and then like she walks away and then
comes back and starts knocking on it like a ton like not really going down,
really going crazy, and then she bangs on a bunch of times,
walks away quickly, and the only person that if you open that bathroom door
you would see is Tony. So we thought Tony, he is gonna get
his ask. Yeah, like she was like trolling, like get Tony and
or something. Um, but yeah, no, the fucking dude is just
I think he passed out in the bathroom because a bunch of people try to
get it in. Yeah, a bunch of people come over and they're trying
to get this door open, and fucking the door won't open unless it's opened
from the inside because it's a lock from the inside. Yeah, there's no
like keyhole or anything. So like the only way to do is to break
down the door or wait for him to come out. Of course, this
place has one bathroom and it's the size of like your hand, so like,
you know, anyone has used the bathroom in his place is fucked beyond
belief now, like, yeah, you're not getting in there, and like
people were like fucking knock on his door. Crazy. I get this fucking
guy out of the bathroom. Um, but yeah, he did not come
out, and like we wanted to stick around until then, but I wanted
to stick around so bad, but like it was they were closing up shop.
I think, Yeah, that guy's still in the bathroom to this day.
Probably, Yeah, he's hanging out, he's having a good time,
you know, you never know, he's thirsty, treking toilet water. So
Darren's just leading the way. Here. We go to this fucking other wrestling
and bar that's really in the anals like kabuki show, just as fucking wrestling
bar. That's just there's like one hundred thousand bars down this little alley.
Yes, um, I think it wasn't raining. Uh it was raining a
little bit, Yeah, okay, yeah. Um So we go into this
place and it's even smaller than the DDT bar. Dude, it's smaller than
RIBERA. Yeah, literally can't even move in this place. I'm standing behind
James who's in a stool in front of me, and then there's the bar.
This is fucked up. This is like I don't know what this one
was called, but it's like a couple of doors down from the Deathmatch bar.
Which also looked insane. We didn't go to that one. Yeah,
pack pack place both place. The place was cool. I mean there were
some people there from Australia. There was Okay. So there's a guy sitting
next to James, completely fucked and he's like trying to talk to us,
and he's like just out of his mind and we're like, you know,
just talking to blah blah blah blah, and then I not even and five
minutes later his friends start talking to us and they're from Australia and I was
like, I swore they were workers because this one dude's jacked and these with
a pretty girl. I was like, okay, these two are workers because
they're in a wrestling bar and blah blah blah. We're talking and they're like
asking us like what we're doing all and they're like super unfamiliar with wrestling,
so much so that James swore they were fucking with us. Yeah yeah,
like well I'm already like drinking a little bit, so like they they're like,
yeah, so like what, like you guys are like wrestlers or something.
I was like, what's going on right? No, No, They're
like you know, like yeah, like how does that work? Like is
that fake? Like you know, you look around you and all there is
in the wall is goddamn wrestling posters and it's a wrestling bar and like the
shield and John Zena like yes. Like then they're like, so, what's
the dual wrestling? I thought it was fake. I was like, dude,
friend is passed out next to James, like that is not their friend.
And we find out they just met this fucking dude. We're like what.
So, like we're talking, talking and I look at them, I'm
like like, well, how did you guys end up here? Like oh,
what was the only like bar around here that like open seating? And
I said, you didn't know this was a wrestling bar And it was like
a light bulb went off and they look around. They're like, oh my
god, no, I said, what the fuck are you talking about?
Man? Yeah, I definitely thought we're getting trolled. It was hilarious though,
And then we try to leave. Well we're leaving and like their friend,
James is like shaking this dude. He's about to give him the mother
Evan bombs through the bar. He won't wake up. It's crazy. Yeah,
he might have been because we never find out if he's alive because we
leave still I'm like, I'm like really like hit him, and I'm like
like, hey up, but that was a fun little place. Uh.
And then we go to the craziest place ever. I can't remember the name
over the life of me right now. Fuck I had the car. I
can't remember. Is this a care yoke wrestling bar? I don't even know
if you can call it a bar. I swear at one point I said,
I swear I'm in. I'm eighteen years old and I'm in a fucked
up bedroom right now. This is the most fucked up environment. We're sitting
on a couch. I'm Sarah Cross, there's businessman, there's a TV.
Cigarette smoke crazy in this fucking place. But there's only like six of us.
But somehow there's still a cloud of cigarette smoke wafting over my head every
two seconds. Yeah, this is the best bass place we've ever been.
The promoter, promoter, the fucking guy that owns the bar. I guess,
like, did what he did he do ring announcing, or like he
played or fucking Basara Guy, Big Basara Guy, Biggest Sami Coodaka Guy,
Big Kodaka Guy, like it was his favorite dude ever. That's his best
friend. His close personal friend is Sami Kodaka. By the way, he
was on our show and he thought that was very cool. Yeah, uh
so he decided to charges eight thousand yen dude. Dude. So it's James
me Tony on one fucking couch, and then on the other side it's like
Sprite and Darren and like then there's these business guys that definitely just got off
of work and they are fucked out of their mind. And this one dude
is constantly doing karaoke and we are like he like he's performing, Like he's
performing in front of ten thousand fucking people. He's putting on the show of
his fucking life. And I like, at this point, this is I'm
I'm I'm drinking drinking at this point. And by the way, this is
the greatest night of my life. This is like yeah, this is there's
nothing better. This is like it, It's like this is real Japan,
Like this is like crazy. We're like swaying our arms in the air.
This dude's performing a song we've never heard. He is, he is in
front of us like reaching out slapping it. He picked the Beatles because he
thought that's crazy, dude, like we are laughing, like but like it,
We're not like laughing Adam, like we're like, this situation is so
fucked up. We're like cheering them on. It was like the most based
fucking moment this dude. It was unbelieving. I'll never forget that ever,
no way. It was like such a boys moment, like it was out
of control. And then James, being super nice, says, boys,
I'll cover this one, and yeah, I'm like, I'm having a good
time. This is awesome. I'll cover this shit whatever, which was very
fucking nice, so you did not have to do that. And then James
he gets the check and I'm sitting there and I'm watching James. He pulls
out his money and I see he's rifling through his bills and I said,
okay, that's more. And then I see James he's at the end of
his bills and he's recounting his bills and I said, that's fucking strange.
I was like, oh, maybe he's just trying to like make it lesser
money. Maybe he's gonna get some change here. And I see James hand
all of his money to this fucking dude, I said what and then turns
out I don't, like, Okay, we had there was like a total
of five beers bought. I think I had a water. Yeah, that's
no food, yep. And it was twenty five thousand year. I was
so confused because I was like, you know, I looked at the bill.
I was like, what the fuck? I was like, yeah,
you know, I took out like I think I took out twenty five thousand
before that, yeah, I took out twenty one thousand. I'm like,
you know, I we probably won't spend this much on beers, but I'll
take out twenty five just in case we go crazy. But then, yeah,
twenty five on the one place where we had five beers and I only
had three, I think I had a wood. Yeah, so yeah,
twenty five thousand year. I was like, whoa, that's you know that
I looked at. I was like, got they got damn three thousand dollars
seat and charged per head and walked to the door per head. Yeah that
was fun. Crazy. We got worked crazy in that one. Bro.
Yeah, but I did give you money, though I felt bad, I
did give you money. Yeah, I didn't drink any beers. Yeah,
oh you're one. I was probably the same price. Every every drink is
the same price though. Yeah, like like beer was super pretty cheap.
It looked like I don't know shit about beer, but it seemed fucking super
cheap. Yeah. Well yeah, which is nice. You know, that's
a pretty cool thing. Um. Yeah, beers everywhere. Yeah. One
night was it that we were at the og Steak Place until like four thirty
in the morning. I don't remember what night that was because that's the night
Sprite was fucked up. It was us in dumb and it was fucking it

snoring. Yeah, dude, Yeah, like Sprite got blown up crazy.
I remember what night it was, but yeah, it was like four We

promotion from his boss because I think his boss was there, so yere,
hell, you got a lot of Chrisma there. I liked kid um.
And then the night after that is we were kind of winding down. There
wasn't really much else to do. We walked around and saw Godzilla on top
of the building and the big Cat, the three D cat, fucking ad

got a blate that day. Yeah, that's true, because we were out
late that night. Yeah. Uh. And then yeah that was it.
That was like the end, I think. Uh. And then we go
on the plane ride from hell. Holy fuck man, this is the worst
plane ride ever. Okay, so why did this happen? Well, we
couldn't check in. We couldn't check it. We had seased beside each other.
We did, we had it was all planned perfectly, but we couldn't
because the we were trying to it was like Nippon Airways. We were trying
to like check in through but it said that we had to fill out like
extra information to check in, but it wouldn't let us do it. Like
I don't know what they were sucking asking for. So we were like,
fuck it, we'll just get there early. We'll get there a few hours
early. We'll fill our shit out and they'll be fine. So I think.
I wake up like six thirty in the morning. Somehow I've packed all
my oh oh. Sometime during this we went back to uh Totegon by the
way, and I buy a gigantic fucking new Japan right. Yea, I've
never seen this fucking thing in person. It's a new Japan Action figure.
Ring never saw it before. I was so fucking fired up, and like,
I've only ever seen it on American eBay for like four hundred bucks.
So I said, dude, it's like two hundred bucks here. This is
fucking coming home with me. I'll figure it the fuck out. Thankfully,
I did figure it out. I was able to fit it like all the
shit that I got in like my big suitcase, and I fit all my
clothes into my carry on suitcase, which was unbelievable. I was very proud
of myself for this. Somehow none of us had to buy extra luggage.
I thought we would. Yeah, James viciously destroyed at least seven figures in
front of my face in preparation for packing his bag. Yeah, well,
you know, I had to take him out let him breathe. I didn't
destroy zandig or Kassai char pros that he bought. Yeah, yeah, I
think he's waiting to see me in person to really hurt my feelings, which
is really really fucked up. I mean, listen, I understand the ones
that you fucked up there because most of them were like the they didn't have
like the window. You couldn't even see the figure. So I'll accept that
you did do it pretty viciously, and you stared at me as you did
it, and like you ripped it like real crazy, like an animal.
It was unnecessary as fun, yeah, but yeah it was super primal.
But we all fit our ship. So yeah, we get to the airport
at like our flights like ten fifty five. I think it boards at ten
twenty five. I think we get to the airport like eight, and then
we know we sorry we checked in first, and we're checking in and like
we realize that I don't know who sees it first. It might have been
me that I'm like, oh, I'm in a fucking middle seat. That
sucks, Like how did this happen? And James realizes he's also in a
middle seat, and then Tony is also in a middle seat. We said,
the fuck, dude, howwible. So we're like, Wow, this
is fucking horrible. This sucks, but what can we do? Middle seat,
middle seat, middle seat unfucking believable? So we we fucking go and
we hand off our Wi Fi boxes and we're fucking waiting and just being miserable.
We buy snacks and ship. We're like, this sucks. This is
gonna be the worst shit ever. We had the best flight ever. This
is gonna be the worst fucking flight ever. Little to James know that it
would be the worst flight you could possibly have ever. Yeah, man,
you're right. Genuinely could not get much worse than the flight. Like I
said, the only way to get worse is if it crashed and burned into
the ground. So please explain, you're this is a twelve hour flight.
Yeah, twelve hour flight with uh then we've done another layover in Washington.
Yeah right, so uh fucking once again, just big fat bastard. Right,
middle seat already is rough, sitting down just in general is rough,
but fucking middle seat is really rough. Middle seats brutal. Yeah, for
twelve fucking hours, twelve hours in the middle seat, and uh so I
sit down and I fucking I'm like Okay, I think I could probably get
through this. Um, I'll just sleep through this again. I was wrong,
by the way. I don't sleep. I saw you attempting to sleep,
and I thought you did right back up, bro't. Yeah, it
was horrible. So anyways, can't sleep this whole flight. So I'm in
the middle seat, awake in this old fucking flight. Behind me is two
children who, for whatever reason, their mother for twelve hours never tells them
to stop kicking the seat in front of them, which is crazy, like
to the point where the woman beside me had to turn around and like say
hey, hello, like it did happen? Oh yeah, And the kids
didn't stop in The mom for some reason didn't tell them to stop, so
they just kept kicking the seats. They were also barefoot, I think,
because yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. And they were also open
mouth coughing, wet, open mouth coughing. Two kids fucking kicking the seat
crazy styles. The mom just disassociates completely. Um, which is awesome.
You know, you have the first kid that you don't do any thing with,
so you get the second one and make sure you get them both on
the same schedule of kicking seats. Coughing with their mouth wide open. But
then it gets even worse because not only do we have to deal with that.
I'll go from the back of the front here behind me the two kids
that are just unruly bastards. Um. Then the guy beside me, like
I he like coughed, like when I sat down, so I immediately put
on my mask. I was like he coughed once, and then over the
next twelve hours he progressively goes from like, oh, I think I might
be sick too, he has one hundred percent sick. James described it to
me as as he has never seen. He like, this is the process
of going from like itch like oh, like I don't feel good too,
I'm sick right. Yeah. It's like in real time watching this guy go
from oh I gotta itch in my throat to okay, I have the cold
or COVID, so hopefully into the flight he's like SnO, yeah, like
because one row over. Yeah, So I massed up immediately the second I
heard him cough, like I knew the cough like I heard and I knew.
I was like, oh, he's getting six yeah, So I put
the fucking mask on immediately, which probably is the only thing that saved me
that whole flight, right. Um, but yeah, so this guy beside
me is fucking getting crazy sick in real time, beside me, as the
kids behind me are kicking the shit out of these seats. As you know,
I'm in the middle seat once again as a fat bastard right set in
the seat. And then of course in front of me, to really knock
a home, here is another kid who cannot stop shitting his pants and tall
hours and twelve hours, twelve hours shifting his pants and jumping up and down
on the seat in front of jumping up and down changing He's in every other
seat like anytime I look up, he's in a different seat. He's jumping
down as shitt and his damn pants yelling. The kids are yelling like we
have turbulence. And the kids start crying because they think that we're gonna die
on the plane. They think we're gonna crash because there's turbulence. Fucking the
kids are crying and yelling, and I'm sending James seat to seat messages EXECU
up. And I'm like, you no sleep on this fucking thing. Man.
There's the whale isn't on the TV for some reason selection of movies.
Also Black Adam twice on the sun of a plane, fucking shitty ass kid
in front of me, two asshole kids behind me, sick man in real
time scientist style, Like they could have fucking studied this guy if they wanted
to. And there's one thing you're missing, Oh my god, it was
his fuck this fuck to hours out his high middle seat ship in the pants,
no ac, no circulation, guy, fucking wet, coughing up,
fucking come got the fucking two kids behind me, fucking no shoes on,
taking the seat, wet, coughing into the air. Just I'm just sitting
there, like, dude, just crash the plane. Crash the plane,
dude. At one point I swore the engine shut off on the fucking plane.
I saw it did. Because I felt nothing anymore. I said,
dude, I'm gonna die on the shittiest fight ever. The son goes.
It was unfucking believable. And then you remember that you were thirty, oh
yeah, And I was like, and I'm now, I'm thirty years old,
but I'm thirty years old now and not gonna deal with this ship.
Your first flight is a thirty year old Holy shit. So that was genuine
I told Johnny after we got off the play, I was like, man,
I've taken a lot of flights in my life. That is genuinely the
worst flight I've ever been on ever. And the food fucking sucked, ducking
sloppy, pig sloppy, bigca sandwich. Get this ship the fuck out of
here. The girl was saw me had to get up five hundred times.
Brush your team. I'm like, oh, that's right. I remember at
one point you're standing next to my aisle. I said, I'm looking up
my go nowhere. I'm in the middle seat before Yeah, yeah, dude,
I'll believable. I was like, dude, get me off this fucking
shit. That was unreal, dude, I because we because so we got
off the flight and we have to take like a bus or something. Was
the kids shit in his pants the whole time? What's wrong with you,
bro? Dude? We had there was a kid shitt in his pants behind
me on the flight up. So they just shipped their little pants. Dude,
they don't care, dude. The kid behind you guys on the flight
that was he was beside me because I was like adjacent to you constantly shitting
his pants and his pants and open mouth, wet coughing, like onto my
hand, dude, stop doing this. What's wrong with you? Girl?
Bin bro It's a clue. Yeah, man, get a job, like
baby, don't shit your pants. It's wrong. You like that? I
like that. Man, you gotta feel like something like ain't working right right,
Like yeah, you can't like that feeling, dude, Wheah, you're
like, well shitting your pants. So we take this fucking We're sitting on
this little shitty cramped bus to take us to customs. We're in America,
taking us to customs. I'm staring at James. He's telling me this fucked
up story of his trip. I'm laughing in his face. I'm masked up,
crazy, I'm taking this shit off of he's massed up. I'm dying
laughing because he tells me this fucking story. I remind him that he had
a birthday. Also your birth Oh yeah, you had your birthday in Japan.
We didn't talk about that part jan during thirty in Japan, he had
a thirty six hour birthday. Because we forced him to acknowledge his Japan and
US times of birthday, which hated kept saying happy birthday, give me a
little cake. That was nice though. That was awesome strawberry style. Yeah,
that was super fucking cool. So we go to the fucking customs thing.
We're in line for customs and it's the US Customs is the worst fucking
shit ever. Dude, it's the worst. This process is so fucked up.
I don't understand what's going on here. No one works here America.
Fuck you man? Yeah, man, really, dude, we're going back.
That's the first thing he says, What the fuck are you even doing
here? Let's just go back. Yeah. Man, it was fucking bad,
Like I don't understand the process. And then like we finally fucking get
up there, and then like people two people, Yeah, like TSA is
the most people fucking garbage shit ever. You're telling me you've got two fucking
people who don't know how to do this process. It was brutal. I
live here, Yeah, look at the passport. I live here. You
think anything changed? Yeah, Well they asked James what his job was.
It was my job. But fucking dealing with shitty kids all day. Worry
about fucking job. Right now, let me into the country. Well,
they eventually do, and then we uh, we take our other flight to
Washington, which you guys sat together. They gave me the fuck you.
Hey, we put your two buddies together and you're still middle seat in the
back. Okay. I did get fun, but it was okay. I
watched the Braves game. Oh yeah, you did watch it, and Tony
slept. Yeah, you like looked straight down his lap and slept. He
was fucked up, so I'm not surprised. Um. Then we get off
there, we get off so Washington, Raleigh. Uh, we say goodbye
to James. Was very sad. I was said to see you go.
Um. And then Tony and I sat in the airport. I sat.
Tony was there for four hours in the middle of the airport. I didn't
exactly know. We Oh, we got Burger Fi there. It was pretty
okay. Um. Then we sat around and we watched TikTok's together. No,
he was watching YouTube shorts. He was like, that's his thing.
He watches YouTube shorts. TikTok guy, I am, and you're an ig
reals guy. We all legit, like, no, we are not connected
there at all. We are not. We all see this. We all
see the same as shit. Right. Um, So Tony's there for four
hours. He leaves to go home. He had to take a flight back
to Washington because this layover was in Washington to get back to Iowa. That's
crazy. Yeah, it's fucked up. I sat there for an extra two
hours because my flight got delayed. I swear I was in a plane or
the airport for a total of twenty hours on Monday, because like, you
know, we our flight from Japan was like ten fifty five, just landed
on Washington and yeah, gold yeah, you're right. We landed on Washington.
It was eleven am, so it was twelve hour flight and the time
is exactly the same. I said, this is the most fucked up situation
I've ever felt before in my life. Uh. And then like yeah,
I got home, like I don't even know what's I got home like ten
pm or something. I was fucking brutal. And then I slept for I
still fucking fucked up from it. Yeah, what a fucking time. What
a fucking time, dude. Yeah, I uh, I'm very happy we
got to do that. I don't I didn't think i'd never go to Japan.
I always wanted to. I didn't think I would. Uh, And
I'm glad not only am I glad, I'm glad I went with you and
Tony. That was Red and Sprite. Shouts out Sprite, Sprite and Trip
Yeah. Shouts out Trinn. Yeah, shout out Trin. She was very
cool too. Uh, just arguing to ask for a better house of people.
Really, no, man, it was like the best. It was
fucking it was actually the best. And we watched Power Rangers a lot.
Snizzard snizzerd at that Snizzard. Yeah, if you ever get a chance to
go to Japan, you better fucking take it. Aw it is so cool.
Shout out seven to eleven in Japan, dude, the best, the
best. I was super right. I forgot about that. I didn't know
if you wanted to talk about it. Yeah, sure, I'll talk about
it, okay, sure, yeah. Yeah. So, like I ate
a rice ball outside of seven to eleven, almost choked and died on it.
Yeah. So he's even his rice bow. We're all because we're I
don't know where we're gonna go, but he's eating this thing and then he
like I see him meel down and I said, oh, it's fucking weird.
Then he stands up and he just fucking throws up. I said,
holy shit, man, what the fuck? And I then I realized he
like is joking on this fucking thing. So I'm like trying to fucking like
punch him in his bag. Yeah no, yeah, I legit couldn't breathe
for like ten seconds. It was like ten or fifteen seconds. I was
like fucked up as a reflex shit, bro. Yeah, I thought I
was legit gonna die. Like I looked on this, I was like I
couldn't breathe out of my nose, I couldn't bring out of my mouth.
I was like, yeah, so a die right here, Rice Ball,
This is unbelievable. I don't know. It would have fucked up our trip,
man. I would ever have been really shelve selfish of you. Yeah,
I mean I would have died in the middle of the street. That
would have been crazy. What would I I don't know what I would have
done. I don't either. I don't know how any of though. That's
what like, that's what my thought process was. I can't die right here,
like like there was like a it was like a split second too.
It was like I was I was like, oh I'm choking, and now
it was like so weird. Like I remember very vividly. I was like
choking. I was like, oh fuck, I'm choking. And then it
was like, oh it's not coming. I'm yeah, I'm die. I'm
gonna die right here. I was like I can't die right here. Yeah,
I was, I can't die right here right now. It doesn't make
sense. I guess my brain went over a driver or something and was like
yeah, thinking to all this, but yeah, it was like legit felt
like it felt like a forever that I wasn't breathing because you were because you
threw up, and then you were trying to drink and like it just wouldn't
go down. Yeah. Yeah, I couldn't drink anything like it got it
would just choke me again, Like anytime I drank something, it would choke
me again. And then like I just kept throwing up, and I was
like I don't I don't know what to do, Like anyone that anyone that
has acid reflux knows exactly what you're because I fucking have that. And it's
hard, Like it just feels like you eat something and like it just stuck
in your chest, so it feels like you either have to throw it up
or you have to like chug something to force it fucking down, and it's
brutal. It's fucking brutal. So I was like very sympathetic. H but
you didn't die, so that was cool. Yeah. Yeah. If you
would have known that the flight you were gonna go on next was happening,
you might have just let it go. Yeah, I mean, that's honestly,
I would have. Yeah. Seven eleven is fucking awesome there though,
Dude, I'm a lot. You're right, it's ships on our seven eleven
dude, No, yeah, dude, for sure. Um Tony got to
try the egg sandwich. He loved it. Yeah. The red bean paste
fucking I don't know what the bakery good. Yeah, yeah, is unbelievable.
The ice every night we got ice cream. Yeah. You always gotta
hit the seven eleven nightcap. Man, the nightcap is so crucial, Like
it's so pommercial. You gotta get a fucking sapporo and ice cream. A
pancake gimmick. Red the pancake gimmick is awesome. They have this pancake thing.
It's like a pancake sandwich with another pancake and there's syrup in the middle
of it. It is the best fucking thing. Ever. Yeah, it's
fucking fantastic. The red bean paste sandwiches are good. They got a bunch
of red bean paste ice cream, which is these are all cheek codes.
Yeah, they they fucking got snacks figured out over there, bro pork cutlet
bento fucking beasts. I had that a bunch. You had got a few.
Yeah, that's like my favorite thing there that you can heat up,
which was super paste. Uh and like yeah, I mean it was fucking
awesome, you know, like we did that like every single night fucking supported
out fucking roll or Bower Rangers. Yeah, it was awesome. I will
cherish that trip forever. That was. That was the fucking crazy dude,
I'll sitting in that fucking cigarette filled fucking bar watching this dude do karaoke as
we're flipping out. Is that is like will be I will there's some stuff
from this trip off forget. I will never fucking forget that ever. Yeah
that was. But yeah, if you can go to Japan, like I
was worried about it, Like once I got a couple of days in,
I was like, man, I wish I fucking planned to stay longer because
it's like so idiot proof, Like you know, I'm the trains and all
are like confusing sometimes, but like a majority of shit there is in English,
like they fucking it's all figured in, like it's all like everything is
easy, man, everything is fucking sweet out there. They got to figure
it out in Japan manage. Yeah, yeah, they do. Like the
day to day is just great. Yeah, definitely, uh, definitely do
that. Go to Japan. Now we're gonna go back and we're to stay
there next time. Actually, yeah, I'm telling you ressecuting him time.
All right, I'm there, all right, Now it's time to get into
SmackDown. February tenth, two thousand and five. Oh yeah, SmackDown airs
from Japan the first time ever, I believe, right from yes, yes,
Well, before we gets out, let's take a look at what was
going on in the wrestling world around that time. Is from The Observer February
seventh, two thousand and five in WCW News. Shockingly, how is it
still going on? And what is seriously among the strangest wrestling court cases in
history are a fake shoot angle on the world taken from attempting to copy the
ninety seven Survivor series, will be going to trial in Georgia. The lawsuits
stems from hul Coogan's lawsuit against WCW and Vince Russo. The part regarding Russo
was dropped some time back, but appealed. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed
the ruling that Hogan's defamation portion of the suit was thrown out larger because Russo
claimed that even though Hogan was shooting, even though Hogan's thought he was shooting
against the script, he was really doing an angle because he used Hulk Hogan
and not Terry Balaya. And Hogan's lawsuit for breach contract stemming from the fact
that Hogan didn't approve of the interview. Whether scripts are not violated his creative
control clause. So in two thousand and five, were still in court over
the badge of the Beachings, which was like five years before this. Well,
yeah, I assumed that they dragged that out for as long as humanly
possible. Is it still going on to this day? It probably is also
one of the things in Hogan's contract. I didn't realize this. Hogan's contract
for two thousand called for him to be the featured wrestler at six pay per
view shows that year. Hogan claimed that July ninth show should not be considered
one of those six shows because even though Hogan versus Jarrett was advertised as the
main event, Jared versus Booker went on last and therefore was the main event,
thus not being the main event. He was not the future wrestler on
the show. So he got kiss Demon into years. Yeah, he got
the main event match. I didn't know. I don't know how this trial
ends. I imagine the Hogan wins, but I don't know how or why.
In Zero one News, Sunjay Dutt, Steve Sunjay Dut, Steve Karino,
Spanky and Simon Diamond on the current tour, starting doesn't work in Osaka.
You can't throw up the ship. I'm sorry, bro, just know
that he's doing this. Somebody thought, no, dude, I was Simon
Diamond. Someone can't do that. Yeah, draw James with the cloak and
draw me as uh, Johnny Swinger names already there, and Tony can be
Jeeves. Yeah, that's fine. On the first Zero one show, Karino
kept his us tight on three A over Naro Fajita and Simon Diamond was just
on our show in Japan. That is fucked up. Yeah, you can
Wressell on a DPW show on DVW on demand. If you'd like to in
the year of twenty twenty three, that is insane. You're right, what
the fuck? In New Japan News IWGP, champ Hiroshi tends on his back
is in bad shape. His back is in such bad shape that the doctors
have told him he can't even do things like sit at the computer or play
pachinko for any length of time because they don't want him sitting down. I
was hoping Tony would be here so I could tell, you know, find
out how Tony would feel if he couldn't sit down for a long time and
play his favorite board games. But he's not the heir, so something do.
Dory Funk has been hired as the trainer for Carmin Electra's nude women's wrestling
promotion that Arizon pay per view. What I Carmin Electris nude Dory Funk was
training the nude women. Yeah, so in fatumagine, we're gonna have to
watch that for SGH, the Nude Women's wrestling promotion. Tony won't watch it.
I'm sure he'll refuse, but we gotta do it. If it's Carmin
Electra's I didn't realize that part that Carmin Electra had something to do. How
nude were they? Let me look, Yeah, that's a really good question.
I mean it's I imagine nude is nude right, at least topless right
on pay per view. I don't know that you weren't seeing dude, there
was pussy. Let me see, yeah, hold on, yeah, hold
on, I'm putting this in our chat. Tony's gonna be confused. Oh
wow, yeah, there is pussy. Do you think she beat her with
her there ddt and uh, yeah, she just she's just aprode flows in
her it was doing her taunt. What's the what's the she's doing the Eddie
Guerrati here? What's the deal with the ref having clothes on? Well,
yeah, it's it's nude wrestling, not nude refereeing. Oh true, but
she's got ties out the ref does Yeah, well you know it's actual the
ref skirt and that's it. Yeah, you're writing, no, top's interesting
wrestling shoes on by the left. We gotta review this risk tape. By
the way, on the Girl in the Rain, I wonder how long it
is that it was just an episode on this titti's out, pussy out wrist
tape on. Well, you gotta stay. They're like gauntlets too, it's
not even wrist tape. Yeah, you're right, she's got it tires.
She's probably over dude. It looks like to have the fucking uh the stage
that goes you know, the eight, like the yeah to the ring.
Yeah, look at that. They probably did the fucking tas band bands abow
that something vagina out as cheeks through the floor. Yeah, that's crazy.
This is insane. Dory funk Is probably like, hell, yeah, I'll
trained whatever you want. Yeah, I'll do I'll train whatever you want.
Goddamn it out. That's awesome. And TENA News, Johnny Swinger became the
first TENA wrestler in history to ask for his release. Him get it.
He's trying to get hooked up with zero one. It wouldn't just let him
work a zero one? I guess not. He was, Yeah, all
right, the fun was he doing it? It was he was tDNA tag
Chap with Simon Doamond at some point Diamond's out. Well yeah, but he
will was TNA tax Chaser or some something over there for a minute. Yeah,
you're right. Um, And WW News Triple H didn't interview this week
where he claimed to RVD and Booker T never made it as top stars because
they were missing something to enable them to fully connect with the masses of fans,
and that the fans, not Vince nor the company make the top stars,
and all the top stars connected with the fans before they got to push
like himself. Yeah, that reads like two thousand and five. There was
also something here that I had before where Triple H was talking about how like
he you know, he had monitized personally fucking fucking killed, specifically the guy
that he sure didn't get over killed, Booker T had to get over like
nine times in WW before they did anything with him, Like I don't stop
getting over Stop Yeah, man, stop it, dude. This spot is
mine. It's mine. It's because RVD was working that real man. You
guys just weren't ready for that shit, you know, I mean y'all working
with Star D came in and work at that reel, and triplays didn't like
that. You know, RVDY should work nude women's wrestling or whatever this is
with his cock and his ass. RVD nowadays would love to do that.
Couldn't get enough for that. From the February fourteenth, two on five Observer
and TNA News. Uh Delip, Giant Singh is being sent to Florida to
train with Kevin Nash on how to work as a big guy. Uh Melza
rights, I couldn't even write comedy. This good sing is being sent by
a Japanese promotion, although we're not sure if it's Hustle or in New Japan
that want to give him a big push. He says, this guy is
hopeless. Now you know who that is, erect No, that is the
great colleague. Oh wow, that's cool. Yes, he's hoping. I
mean, but he was sent to work with TNA, which is obviously not
where he ends up. I don't know when does he debut? Oh seven
the boys your contrite Tom big Style. They saw that son of a bitch,
so he could have been Uh what the fuck would he have done?
In teena and oh seven cur angles, heater beat the dog, shot a
giant swinger. One. You can't fucking go to zero one, you bitch.
You want to work in Japan, Taler, we got giant fucking sing
here, you bitch. Jared would have beat him clean and made him join
his stable. He definitely would have bitched out a Biss too though, Yeah,
oh guarantee, well that would be like on the way there, Yeah,
for sure, yea, he would have beat a Biss clean and whatever
match Abiss was doing at the time, probably ten thousand tag fucking barb wire
match, you would have beat him a business uncle A Bass would have taken
every spot in the whole match, by the way, and uh, he
would have called him a pussy to bissit as a pussy and I fucked your
mom. Anyways, next month the business back to being the killer again.
He's like the big show like a day. Yeah, he is show.
From The Observer, February twenty first, two on five, it is said
that the idea of the spinning US time of It was actually an idea from
Conan Raymistereo. No, not a great Collie. It was Conan given a
Raymistereo to come to the ring with a spinning pennant. When Seena heard of
this idea, he used it first, but it suggested it for the US
title belt. I didn't know that it was supposed to be a ray thing.
No, I didn't either. That's pretty cool. It definitely fet seen
more. I was gonna say, I don't know how I mean it would
have been. I guess Ray was so fucking cool, so it probably would
have been cool. But like I feel like that was like seen his whole
shit. Yeah yeah, I mean Sina was like really mega strides at this
point, Dude, that probably sold so much fucking money. I thought that
was really cool. Younger, Yeah, this is fucking cool. Yeah,
I thought that. I thought this one was way cooler than the w Championship
too. The US Tittle one was was fucking cooler. Um, And when
they had in the games where you could hit the triggers and it would have
been the fucking plate that was that's nuts. Yeah, yeah, it didn't
make sense, but it was cool. A last piece of news here in
New Jack news WWE style. Though new Jack there was really a chance that
the company was going to use him, there was a feeling among top decision
makers though that there isn't enough star depth, which is why you have so
few guys being pushed at the main event talent level, and so much of
the roster has fallen by the wayside as bad in the ring as new Jack
is, uh, there was a feeling that he's a great promo and he's
a personality. Where he apparently buried himself is when he came in and they
had him do and an exchange of holds in a tryout with Valvinus. He
complained to the wrong people about why they asked him to do a trial match
an empty arena, and when we got out to management, they decided he
wasn't worth the trouble. Really, it's fucking Valves fault. This piece of
a get out the fuck out of our company. What the fuck we can
add new Jack Stabbin John Zeena, but instead we got fucking I don't new
Jack doesn't do anything. I guess he goes to TENA for a couple of
thousand and five. All the stars are here, he went on the SmackDown.
Yeah, dude, all the stars. By the way, Binocuu have
been hot. Bro. Want to make sure I understands. Two thousand and
five was one of the most unbelievable years for wrestling. It was roh was
fucking going nuts. TNA's best year was two thousand and five. I swear
we just talked about this because we were talking about, like, how fucking
sweet the five matches. If if I was something from five. We watched
a ton of shit from five recently. Yeah, if I was WB,
I would have fucking I would have called. I would have walked into a
TNA taping and then signed AJ styles away. They would have sued w B,
and then w B would have just bought. Yeah. I would have
been like, if we're taking AJ now, like taking as hostage out of
TA, come on now they're going nuts. Yet Joe was fucking rocking crazy,
man. I mean, Roddy was starting to go real stupid at this
time too, and like yeah, Aries was hot too, and Evans is
double moonsting, goes fucking just getting like the point where he's getting real named
and like yeah, there's like a bunch of like crazy guys and they're working,
they're trying to get over, like the guys on this show. It's
like they're going, we ain't got enough talent on the show. Like,
bro, that is so dude. Look just you just watch the wrestling so
crazy because like thinking of this show and thinking of that, even Tena's ross,
even just Tena's roster at this time, it is insane. Just buy
TNA. Yeah, I couldn't really like really like at that point, it's
like you look at this show. It's like that. Shane told him to
Shane mcmayah, You're probably right. Shan had a lot of punches at this
time. For that, he had a lot of He wanted them to buy
UFC. One of them by ECW you probably one of them to buy TNA.
Yeah, we'll shut the hell up. Man. Why don't you go
do something else the fuck out of here. Let you Mark, let the
Reids on a tag team. Put let's get the fuck out of here,
buddy. Well, let's talk about SmackDown. From February Tien, two n
and five, SmackDown's first show live in Japan. Not live, I guess
taped in Japan. All right, we are in the Saitama Super Arena here,
uh special set for this Japan show, which is cool. Man,
I won't be dune now, old duh, dude. I love this tro
They were going. They were like, wow, fuck everything, green screen
green, Paul Undon go for fifty in front of the green screen. Dude.
All the stars were in this intro. They had Charlie Hass, they
had Hide and Rech smashing his face into the screen. They had Renee Dupree
and Kansas Suzuki doing the French tickler dance. Yeah, they were crazy here,
bro, but we get a special set for this show. They have
little circles in the air hovering over the red circle in the Japan flags.
They're behind it. I don't think the stage is ever in a game.
You're probably right. It's awesome though. Yeah, it looks very cool.
I love this look. And they yeah, you said U Thomas super arena.
They said, there's like seventeen thousand fucking people here. Maybe eighteen thousand,
yeah, probably fifty five thousand, A big square for three style Titan
tron here. Um. This was like an old school edity are set.
Dude. I was confused for a minute because I was looking at I was
like, I maybe that's what it was. I thought I like watched the
wrong show because I was like, when the fuck did this stage exist?
But I guess they just did it for the Japan shows. Maybe the raw
one was the same, because I think they do raw and SmackDown both from
Japan. Here. So we went into this and uh, you know,
we've been watching a lot of just not nothing to do with Deadlock or anything,
but we would watch a lot of like two thousand and two SmackDown stuff.
Yes, and you know, one of the big things was, like
the creative around that point was like SmackDown they would they would maybe forty five
minutes a week they would go over the creative for SmackDown and Raw would be
like fifteen hours or something. Yeah, like it would be like some unbelievable
number, like to make sure right. Yeah, But in two thousand and
two that changed obviously with the brand split and then like you know, obviously
they had like writers that were specific for SmackDown. But anyways, point I'm
getting to here is by two thousand and five, we are maybe putting thirty
minutes a thought into SmackDown every month. This is unbelievable, dude. This
show is definitely booked on who showed up, who whose flight got in?
Yeah, you're right, who the hell is around? And sober like,
what can we do this show? Here? So we started the show off.
We have Eddie Guerrero versus Kinzo Suzuki, huge pop for Eddie Garrero.
By the way, I don't know so obviously this is SmackDown. I don't
know how much of this is hair dryer pop, you know what I mean.
But tape SmackDown. Also, yes, tape SmackDown. And but they
kept showing the crowd and it seemed like the anytime like people were channing or
whatever, it seemed like I went along with what they were doing. So
maybe it wasn't super I mean, like like it's eighteen thousand fucking people here,
and they were eighteen million people here and they were super fucking fired up.
Huge pop for Eddie Guerrero. Eddie comes out as low Rider and tests
all, we got lowriders here or something, and Cole says, just I
don't they're talking. They're talking, And Cole just says, kanbawa everybody,
yeah, because this is a posts So they're just fucking in a room somewhere,
just fucking hanging out. So they're chilling. Man, you can tell
the whole show. That says what bro Icole says, Good evening, All
right, Okay, yeah, Dads, where the hell do you find his
car? What do you mean? Crazy? And Dads says, Japan is
great for cold because he's a deadbeat tipper. He does he fucks him crazy.
Kensa Suzuki comes out and the crowd booze him to hell. Dude,
kensas Suzuki. This must have been a test for him. Do you know
what his gimmick is? He loves America, indeed, but do you do
he loves America so much that his titan tron is the Japanese flag. His
song is a classical Japanese theme, and uh, he comes out and his
whole gimmick is I'm Japanese and they hate fuck you man, fucking bitch because
dude, he wants to fun Tory Wilson, an evil white pussy is ruining
this countreat Yeah something right here, right here, he's getting booed because he
wants to fuck Tory Wilson. Fuck you man, yeah exactly here, fuck
you yeah. And I swear that like Kenzo was being tested here, they
said go out and like do as much panomiming as you can, pantomime,
like your Hulk Hogan in the eighties. Because Kenzo is like holding his ears,
like his fucking head is melting from the booze. It's fucking insane how
much he's pantomiming here. Well, because they didn't call anything. They didn't
they called the finish, that's it. They didn't want to do anything,
so like fucking supported out, bro yeah, I guarantee, like SmackDown was
like such an afterthought as like I'm sure the raw was a little more of
something because at least they were cared about raw at this point, but they
were definitely like, yeah, Eddie's over and Kenzo's Japanese, so you guys
go having a match, and then Eddie's like, let's see you out there.
Yeah, I'm he doesn't even have to ask kids, doesn't he have
to ask? They don't have to talk about the finish. They kids are
Nosy is losing the frog splash. They probably didn't even look at each other,
and he just knew, all I'll just stayed out with the splash.
And they did nothing. They did fucking nothing here, no man, no
way. Yeah, it's unbelievable. Well, James, you got a note.
By the way, Kenzo's wife Hiroko is not out here because she's preparing
for her kimono match later with Tory Wilson. Yeah, dude, I love
that. Like three years after we were watching Tory Wilson every week, she's
still doing it. It's like, holy shit, every week it must have
been. It must have been great for ratings, dude, something must because
like, how is it good for ratings when I can watch the bare pussy
and boot dressing that smack dam was on fucking free TV. You're right,
the ring is mic different for this show. I don't know if you notice
that it sounded louder. Yeah, so they definitely didn't have the same micing
systems they would have in America, so they kind of had to just wing
it with with how they mike this one. So it's it also sounds like
they didn't mike the crowd at all because they assumed the crowd would been quite
the whole time, and they say that on commentary. Oh this fucking the
fans are different here in Japan. They're you know, the usually quiet and
the crowd is like popping for everything. Yeah, yeah, you're right.
I mean like they definitely go nuts here in a minute for Funaki, Yeah
they do. Um. But yeah, three amigos did get a big pop.
Uh sawn amigos, Yeah I hear you call got that one in there,
says yeah, son, amigoes here you still answer? Hell, I
get this car, bro sir. Frog splash from Eddie and Eddie defeats Kenzo
Suzuki and an opener that U is interesting but people really liked Eddie, which
is cool to see. They could have legit did anything in front of this
crowd, and this crowd would have been on fucking fire for it. They
just wanted to see SmackDown. Yeah they did. You're right, this was
the Eddie Guerra. So they got backstage. Kurt Angel is backstage with Luther
Reines and Mark Jindrack, which the boys group of white boys are here.
Dude, Luth the rains because the promo was fucking life here. Uh yeah,
I legit, Like I couldn't believe what I was listening to, right
hear Kurt Angan was like just sitting there stared at this dude and he's going
nuts. So Kurt's talking about you know, it's it's a big night for
them. Three. Kurt has a match to night with Rain Mastereo. If
he wins it, he goes to the finals of the Number one Contendership tournament
for the title. And he says, you know, I'm going straight to
the finals thanks to my boys because they fucked over Undertaker last week and cost
him his match. So rains. Luther Rains looks at him and he says,
what we did last week, that was nothing? I'm sick of any
Timetaker's name being mentioned. All these punks bowed down. Luther rains, they'll
bound out of nobody. Hell, even that looney tune Heid and Right got
all wicked out. When he's seeing them gaskets, see them casts, I
mean, he's already racked out. You know what I'm saying. He said,
Look Angle, he gets close to Kurt, he says, I've had
my throat cut ear to ear. I've been shot. I've been stabbed in
a prison riot. I was locked down three hours a day, seven days
a week for five calendars. I've had so much blood on me you couldn't
tell what color my skin was. I'm stared death in the eyes more times
than I can't remember. So when it comes to the Undertaker, I'm scared
no caskets, And I damn sure he knows scared no dead man. Kurt
is staring a hole through this guy. This Saints row Ascart, true cry
Streets and New York ass character. He shot, I stabbed, and dude,
he had so much bund on they couldn't tell what color of skin was.
What the fu? So the Undertaker or yeah, are you gonna you?
Called to bash him this guy. Yeah, man, I couldn't believe
this guy. Man, I'll kill you and your whole fucking family and my
family too. Anyway, you go to the Bashams deaf jam character like the
fuck is going all right though, and Martin just sitting there, by the
way, that's all time, he says a word does He's just jilling erection
of perfection, the beast. He as hard as fucked there too. Well,
Kurt says, that's the intensity I want. Now, you guys go
with the tactitles from the Bashams, and luther Ran says, damn right,
Kurt would say that the whole promo too, jam right, right, he's
here. Lutheran's got a bit shot my fucking next slip. I'm in prison
for fifty yeah, damn right, yeah, all right, I'm not afraid
of Kasket's either. Well, of course, this is Lutheran's one hour free
easier in Japan, by the way, fell fucking felony Luther in the street
Japans, five years in jail, killing people in jail. They just let
him into the country. Yeah, the Japanese police and immigrations are you hearing
lutheris space isn't weak? Is it all. You're one hour Come on,
yeah, you're good for the one hour five caldar five calendars. That's crazy.
What do you do for a living? Kill? What do you do
for living? I kill people? Shot you, guys, everybody? My
throat slit, alright, come on, my throat slit a bloody as fuck.
I get shot in the head. Three tos. So you got your
QR code or what passport? Please? Days Smack of the Night brought to
you by Electric Shave. Appreciate you like that? No? Yeah, fucking
way. Undertaker versus Renee Dupre with hair dude. Also, I think Mark
Jindrak was in this match, which by the way, is a double count
out because Luther Rains grab Taker's foot to stop him from going into the ring.
Luther Rean's in suit, laying on floor, grabbing Undertaker's leg and hair
and shave. He also loses for some reason. It's because of the hair.
Okay, sure the cock. By the way, this entire era WBE
is fucking chaotic. Renee Dupre with hair, Luther Reins and Mark Jin Dreck
are getting to push Kenzo Suzuki wants to have sex with Tory Wilson and the
Bashim Brothers are bald and tag Champs. This is unbelievable, dude. Webber
is on this show. Yeah, I couldn't believe when I saw her.
Yeah, it's unbelievable. So yeah, Luther Reins and Mark Jin Drack versus
the Bashim Brothers from the SmackDown tag titles. Luther Reins walks like a guy
that's been in play seven days a week. Let's go coming, he though.
He's bloody as hell. Yeah, walk, dude, he has a
crazy walk. It's like he hasn't walked for five calls, like his release
slip. He walks. Five founders shot his ass. Did you live?
You live? I don't know this all happened. It sounded like it's all
happened at once. He got shot, he's in prison, blood, he
could even tell he is. He lived, and he got a job.
Yeah, that's crazy Japan. In Japan, you know what the fuck?
The Basham team is fucking crazy, dude. It's like kill you know what's
funny. At the last time I talked with these guys, I wrote the
same thing I think I wrote this time. I don't understand these guys.
They're brod this. Yeah, I don't get this fucking thing at all.
This is like a cornette thing. He loved the Bashom brother, He did
love the Bashom the Damna crazy. You see, I never even when I
was like I knew these guys when I was younger, I was like,
I don't understand what I'm looking at here, legends in Japan, these bash
Thems, they're over here, and their logo is the Roman Rains logo.
They just repurposed for it later. You know what's crazy is that they never
like this era is so weird, Like you know, usually you would like
slow burn your guys that you're trying to make stars and like you know,
you pick your guys and then you kind of slow burn into it. This
era of w B was like, we're not gonna do that. Come up,
here are the stars you guys? Like these guys all the stars are
here. We will tell you the stars are. They gave Dude's belt so
fucking quick in this era. Yeah, like these like I that couldn't believe
this was a match I was happening. It was being presented as like the
tag title match. I was like, dude, what the fuck is going
on right now? Not like that. Everyone was like just presented as a
star. It doesn't work. Yeah, these are just you're right. And
also these are two heel teams. Yeah, well, some someone's gonna get
chokes. Laue's gonna Yeah. I told you the time keeps going down.
They probably spent twenty five minutes on this SmackDown creatively. You're right. Uh
yeah, I think Jindrak legit like Jindrek could have been somebody. I think
he easily triple h did not like Martin, that hated Martin jin Jack as
he does that. Well, it was his fault that Randy Orton was,
you know, a piece of shit during that run, and then of course
the five years after that that he was also a piece of shit and then
continued to be forever after that. Yeah, he triple h hated that young
Randy Orton and young Martin Jindrak would joke about penises and shit. You're right,
he hated that. And you want to talk about side headlocked takeovers in
the car? What was? He says that Harley Race never talked about penises
in the car, right, Flare and Flair said, I'll tell you something,
guy, never talk about penises. Yeah. Twenty three seventh legit hated.
I legit think if they would have like done this better, that he
could have been something. But yeah, like I said, they you know,
they like didn't try to make these It's like they didn't try to make
these guys. They'll tell you they did. They'll tell you that we tried
really hard to make these guys. But they never really tried to make these
guys. No, because they teamed with Luther Rains. He's with Kurt and
like the only other thing he did was like the the erection of perfection thing,
right, Yeah, that's pretty just like the fuck out of here?
Yeah yeah, but Mark Jindra did do the booty pop and hip thrust the
elbow drop, but I guess sadly that was probably a pot Randy orton backstage.
You gotta get out of here, man, you are gonna die.
Uh that move didn't work Thos that like, dude, not only did Jindrack
do the fucking hips level, but he did the bike ride dance that we
did in Japan all time. Oh yeah, he's a beast man. You
should get fired now he will. Well, jin Jack and Rains are taken
out of the bastums and then gone and the lights go out. You see
the gong was in the arena. Yeah, because they popped. I think
right, he didn't pop like crazy though, oh maybe not. I thought
it was No, I probably was. I just just thinking, like,
you know, maybe the as like shit, so maybe, yeah, you're
right, it wasn't my light ship. Well, Undertaker is in the ring
here, he's appeared to lights back on Takers in the ring. I wrote,
this is someone's favorite version of Undertaker because it's I'm always reminded of this,
dude. That's so sad, and I feel bad because I know people
listening to really like this version of Undertaker. I love this all era,
and I'm so sorry because I just can't. I just don't. This is
like their era. No, I don't even sea guaranteed suck ass. He
looked like a smacked ass Alter. Also, remember Undertaker has not been like
his throat has not been slit. He has not been shot, dude,
He's not been one prison riot. Like if he thinks he's gonna beat Luther
Rains in a casket match, he's gotta do not think coming, dude.
He's not even afraid of the dead Man or a casket. I mean,
what's Undertaker, go do here, he's about to get squashed. Yeah,
he looks like an idiot. And Luther Reins looks like a bass bass stood
out of jail away. And then Mark jin Drag by request of trip Lag
gets his ass swamp and also Jaker has never Yeah, yeah, Pea's like
my man never. As for in fact you lost buddy, what was the
mod? There was a mod reason it wasn't SmackDown verse are always six that
they put us. It was either six or it was d R two.
It probably was oh six though, Yeah, that's base man. I would
I would do a sim and have Rains beat the fucking shit out a shitty
Undertaker. I'm about to do a chat GPT fucking AI request book Luther Rains
as fucking the Undertaker for the Undertaker in a who can survive having the throat
slit? Who can survive being shot twenty three hours a day? So does
a week for five calidus? Taker? You want to take great last three
calendars letter than five? Well? I just wrote enough five five? We
need you need five, dude. I wrote book Luther Rans was Undertaker and
who can survive being shot? Match and it says I cannot promote or encourage
violence and who can survive being shot match is not a real or appropriate matches
type. Dude, regenerate your spots, Yeah what I want? Yeah?
All right? Does a condone violence? You can't fulfill this? No,
come on, regenerate give me dude, who survived can survive being shot match?
It's fake? Come on, man. If I'm chat GBT, I'm
I'm booking a story where Harley Race is the new manager for mark Jin Track
and that pisces. He's talking about cogs crazy the Johnson's. You know they
actually their gibbick is that they're huge South Park fans. And Randy Orton joins
with them, and it's super bass, Randy marsh, Andy Beach, triple
ah clean. That's I like what you're spitting. You're spitting. When you're
spitting, you're spitting. James. I wanted to take her choke slam jin
jack the hell. But it's not a bad as going to prison for two
hundred it's just not hitting the casket for three calendars at the very least,
three to five, very least. So they show a video they show the
Japanese fan experience here. Um, everyone has not been shot here or had
the thread slin so they're good. No, but John Cena is very over
here and John Cena does get stabbed, so yeah, you're right. Wow.
In the club, it was supposed to be by New Jacket, but
it was by the human motorcycle. What was this cycle? That's when the
boys said, Jesus rotten Hate Club. Dude, we gotta do a chat
in GPT episode of this fucking show. You rotten in the Hate Club is
so basic. I mean that's uh, dude, we got all the time.
You know what that would have been sick of us of five of Luther
Reine started the hate Club and oh my god, Jack was coming in for
DrAk, Luther Raines, Jesus and Jack. This is the most fucking unbelievably
based group of all time. They've been to prison. Yeah, he had
to go to prison for five calendars. You're not allowed the need to who's
the fifth in that group? Hate Hatred? The five calendars Hate Hatred shout
out to day Hatred. Yeah, man, Yeah, but dude, Blake
would have not liked that shit at all, man, DrAk and date hatred
is so sick? Are you kiddingly? Luther Ray Smart Jinjack rand during wife
be the dude. They were all wrestling s This could have happened, This
could have happened. Hate Club is not dead. They could have done so
much more. They could have done so much more. Dude, we were
wronged. We were wronged, were robbed. Were Oh we get his fucking
bullshit here fucking long. We could have had the Hate Club man. But
anyways, they said the Japanese fan experience super Overhead proposes to a woman there.
I don't think she said yes. Get fuck she no, she said.
She says I would love to marry John Cena. Okay, um so
u we go. Back of the ring, Joysiavanni has a gun. She's
got a fucking she's shooting grenades to the crowd. She's going to prison now.
She opened fired on a fucking crowd. Oh dude, Yeah, that's
an easy five calendars. She's going down that easy. Was in the ring
with a buzuka. That's awesome. Backstage segment, Kenzo Suzuki is with Hiroko
asking about the kimono match. Dude, he's in the Hate Club too.
Ya says she's gonna get on top of Tory Wilson and kill her. She's
awesome, dude, this grew Oh my wrestling would never be the fucking same,
dude. It would have changed the landscape of the business man. It
would have. So yeah, she says she's gonna bayne a long time to
face Tory. She's gonna throw her down and get on top of her and
Terry kimono off, and she wants to really work for Carmin Electric. But
Kenser the whole time has a big fucking smile on his face as he's imagining
Tory Wilson naked, which is pretty fucking sweet. Well, she notices this
and gets angry because they are married, and then she leaves, but then
Kenzo begins to think about naked Tory Wilson again and it's very happy. Yeah,
that's sweet. Backstage, JBL's with Mimi Webber. Uh JBL, dude,
there's definitely people that have a idea. What the fuck are you talking
about? What it's Amy fucking Webber bro Oh shit, you're right anyver?
Why do right? Mem It's because last time I said Memiver Yes, whoa,
Yeah, you're right. You've convinced herself. That's her name for yeah,
j So the was that Mimi Webber. Was that the same episode as
the Luther Rain's Thanksgiving? Oh wow? Maybe I think it was was that
this Thanksgiving that like this um just passed. I think it's the one that
was okay, thank no way, Luther Rain's last to the next one.
He's got to coming in soon. Dude, that would have gone so are
you kidding me? It would have been yeah wow. Uh So. Jamie
Ill says he has been in a ton of fucked up matches lately, and
then he has an upcoming barbed wire still cage match with The Big Show.
Dude, I remember being so fucking excited for that. I mean I shouldn't
have been, but I didn't, like, you know, two than five.
Johnny didn't really understand that didn't like me, so like, yeah,
I was like, and I was up two more years for that one.
I was, yeah, you're right. I was already a huge death match
had by this point, so I was like, holy fucked barbed wire is
still cage. This is based. I was most excited because I thought they
put it in the Games, which it didn't. So Jbluh says, if
Teddy Long wants to do something drastic to him, putting him in this match
with the Big Show. He's gonna do something drastic to the Big Show.
Oh, and he pulls out the same trank gun to shoot Big Show.
We did review that episode too, I believe so we did. That's right,
Yeah, yeah, So kurd Angle at one point shot Big Show with
a tranquilizer dart and then shaved his head. So JBL is planning to do
the same thing. Uh, he says, he's gonna he is bald now,
so I don't know what He's gonna shave his ass too. That thing
looked insane. Dude. Yeah, I can't wait till this big bastard he's
gonna shot him. He's gonna hurt him, and he's gonna make sure he
doesn't make it no way out. So he hands her the gun. He
says, hold this, I'm gonna get my title. So she says,
oh, you know, maybe you can find a dart or something. She's
backing up. The door behind her swings open, smashes into her, and
she shoots JBL in the neck with a tranquilizer dart. Not keep in mind
that that JBL just finished saying that this is like double the dose of the
one that knocked. He was playing on killing the Big Show. Yeah,
he was joined the hate Club. That was the idea, which would have
been awesome. It would have been oh my god, dude, that would
have been so based. Wow. Yeah, that would have been awesomely shit,
that's a universe of my team right there. Yeah, we need to
start, will break this down. Yeah. So yeah, Mimi Webber accidentally
shoots JBL with the trank gun uh and Orlando Jordan comes in says, what
did you do? What happened? What do you find? So? JBL
is fucking loofy Up, he falls into this poster in the back and I
think he actually knocked it down because it hit him in the head. It
did fall down. Yeah, but he is obviously he's not out, he's
not out, but he's drunk. Yeah that's crazy, said, I'm not
sure where Dosage Dark does the opposite. Yeah, Big Show is ways way
more than him, and he was out. Yeah he was out out Yeah
yeah, this just made him stupid. Anyways. Tory Wilson is Eric Kimono.
She is looking looking as good. Oh my god, yeah, God
bless her. Akey Bono base God chilling in the crowd, chained up,
fresh cut. He looks fucking icy. Yeah, black shirt, chained out,
crazy skinny jeans. The Jordan's like, don't when did they do that?
Match? Is it this mania? I assume that's what they were building
to here, right, I think? I think I think it is twenty
one, which I think is the one there buildings here. Yeah. Wow,
hockey fucking by Bono not get a figure to ask for too much money?
Oh is that? Yeah? Did that never happen? That he never
got a w B figure? No, he didn't. You know what that
did come out? Though? Because I think let me think if I remember
this right, So there's a Mark Henry figure. You've probably seen this before
where Mark Henry's just in a singling Sorry I'm talking about Yeah, he's just
in trunks. So I think the idea was that, like it was,
if they didn't get Acky Bono, it was gonna be Mark Henry versus Big
Show in a sumo match. And then it didn't happen, but they still
had the figure made. I want Akibono in this attire, black shirt chain
fresh cut, dude, it's awesome. He's all no figure and no video
game. What the fuck next? Cruiseweight championship match Funaki versus Chavo Guerrera.
Yeah, Funaki gets the biggest reaction of the fucking night. Yeah, dude,
super fucking crazy to see unbelievably over Funaki here, he's a cruiseweight champion.
On commentary, they say Teddy Long is not Here's Teddy Long is a
smack dun jam. They say he's not here because he's answering charges in Connecticut
from being subpoenaed by Carlido to get him out of office. I here you
Luther Rans was able to make it into this country. Ye admitted it on
TV in Japan. Okay fu nacki Funaki? Dude, Funaki gets a Hogan
Sue comeback on Javo here hits a flying forum that kills him. Uh,
they're doing total backbreakers crazy here. Eventually, Funaki's up top for a super
flex, but he Gordbuster's Chavo then hits the Tornado DDT and wins. Funaki
with the SmackDown pants is the cruise away chadown? That is nuts man.
There was a crazy commentary here. Michael carl says he loves Japan because you
could buy beer and vending machines. And Tas says, yeah, that's a
big thing for you, brought at nine in the morning. Maybe not nine
in the morning. Bro d diamond me out, bro got damn that's crazy.
But yeah, you know, none of the match of this show they
tried too hard, but Funaki definitely got a crazy reaction. That was pretty
sweet to see. It was it was it was very cool and like like
like you know, they ever watched the SmackDown. We were watching that.
He was doing the number one announcer thing. I guess he's not also to
Wilson everyone at some point on Japanese right, they did, which is crazy.
But then I guess all the American men also wanted to have sex the
Tory w everyone did. Actually yeah, yeah, so it worked out louting
towards Dad, which was crazy. It was crazy. So we got backstage.
Carlito's in an arm brace and has an apple and he's talking to the
police about Luther Reins. Have you heard about this? Have you seen this?
So Carlito got rid of Tea Long because of the injunction or whatever,
right, correct, Yeah, he's I don't remember what Teddy Long did to
do this, but Carlito is happy about this. Uh, and he says
he's trying to get him out of being the GM SmackDown and he thinks that
is cool. Well, Jbl comes up. He slapped off his ass for
some reason, made him drunk, he said, knocking him out. He's
hockey bombed out. Man. He says, you got hair like a gibed
How do you get all that hair through customs? Said you got hair like
you got a head like a record on top of your brain. You got
hair on your head, he said you Puerto Rico. I guess. Carlido
says, dude, I heard you got hit with a tranquilizer. Got this
cop told me what the hell? And j said just a scratch, It
wasn't much. And then Orlando Jordan comes and he says, dude, it's
looking for you. Man, what the hell is wrong? When he says,
I was just sitting here talking to the raccoon head from Puerto Rico.
I said this camp be, this has to be rights to be. He
stretching it out of here. I just has to be. Orlando says,
dude, I got this match with John Cena and Jabil says you're gonna beat
him, and Orlando says, you're gonna be all right, and Jabil says,
you take care of that Vanilla ice rapper guy, and I'll be here
and my moods are gonna day right here. I'll be right here. I'm
not moving and I'm not moving, and then Orlando Jordan leaves. He says,
don't go fucking anywhere. You stay right here, and jbl Meal he
starts taking a few steps forward and he runs into Godzilla. Yeah, a
little massive blow up Godzilla in the lobby. Yeah, he says, were
you looking at and he slaps him with the hat. That's okay. He
is drunk, by the way, for some reason, off the trank Dart
tranked out, so resumed twenty one commercial. Stacy Keibler. Yeah, they
got Christian Jericho, Stacy Keibler and Crispin Wah. Yeah. And they look
at her pussy and they say whoa. Yeah, she said, Landre Pillow
fights you usually your muscle. I Then Christian says, I love you.
And then Mayham came in and everyone threw up. Yeah, they showed their
pussies and then everyone they were trained by Dorty Fox. It's a long a
holy shit naked. Yeah, it was crazy. There's a long ass commercial
it is. It's like five minutes. Yeah, it's like a whole skit.
Well, next up we have John Cena versus Orlando Jordan number one trying
hard on this smack down this week. As you can see. What did
they censor on Sena's hat? Is it the Rock Fools hat? I think
he said pussy Oh, probably said hate club they were Probably it said pussy
massage speaking Harry pussy massage. You got that? Yeah? Yeah, for
free? Yeah, whatever it was has had is censored on the Peacock version.
I imagine it was Rock Fools, but I don't know why that's I
don't know. Well, a huge pot for Sena here, super b Yeah
he is super fuck This is only him in the US title rutting right,
Yeah, I could probably argue that he was probably his most like accepted here,
that's right. I feel once he beats JBO for the belt, it's
all downhill. Like obviously he's a good leader, though he is a juicy
bastard dude. That fucking they he got he got his juice card cut off
way too early and we had some years stolen off his He had some gushers
waiting in the chamber. This guy should have been way better than he was.
You're right, you're right, but it is what it is, um
Sina said. Sina cuts a fucking promo on Orlando Jordan. He says,
he calls him or he calls him O J. Simpson. That's pretty much.
Yeah, what the fuck? So Cena thought I thought he was gonna
say like Conia or something to make it rhyme. He said, yeah,
you're like O J. Simpson, a murderers like he said, you couldn't
kill me with a bloody gloveing And I've been Rustlemania off two titles and I'll
be screaming word life. Oh okay, yeah great, so yeah, all
right, well it's seen a fu jbl last week on SmackDown and uh yeah,
we decided to have a really bad match here. Yeah, this is
boring as hell. And Seena, I thought Sina was going to invent the
lightning fist here. He was like posing for it, but he doesn't do
it. He just does his five uncles shuffle shit, and then it's the
fun wins. Yeah, Tad's ass if they box here in Japan and Cole
says, yes, of course they box, and then Tad says, Oh,
yes, of course they boxed. I know they boxed. They boxed
all the time. They boxed. They boxed the boxing. I don't have
the time the box Yeah, if you if you want to know how good
this job. The Jordan matches Tasviga Cale said during this so yeah, um
but yeah, so interesting. M Orlando Jordan looks like a complete chump.
But I guess that's the idea. Yeah, he's I mean they were they
didn't care, they were not They were not trying to do anything with him.
He was just JBL's bitch, right. This is like the third iteration
of the cabinet, right, or like the second at the very least.
I mean, this is the most it is. I think I think Jillian's
already gone, or maybe not. Maybe Jillian's out there yet. I don't
know, because I think maybe Mimi Wember gets fired here soon. Oh she
quits soon. I think they were placed Overgilian. Oh okay, she want
to go to t NA. She just wanted to stop being harassed by Randy
Orton. Oh okay, well, true boys cannot make that happen. She
was harassed by Mark Jindrack would have been Yeah, he'd have been fine with
that. So Cina ends up giving his chain to a dune the crowd,
I thought it was cool, like the whole chain. Holy shit, Yeah,
it was gigantic. Um. So they go backstage. Uh, they
come back to b roll with Tokyo and you see Pachinko and Taz says,
hey, they love Pachico here. But Jenko by he was like making Pachinko
noises, said, okay, he loves that fucking Pachinko. Well, fucking
Tenzon can't play it. Daz's he only wrestles for twenty more years and still
wrestles now. Stacho. So Orlando Jordan comes back to the lobby after getting
packed the smoke by John Cena, and of course JBL's not there. He's
not there. He's looking, he's already apologizing as he walks around. Was
JBL, I'm sorry I lost the tournament match? Then? Is not there?
He's where is JBL? Where's jb els On? And mebe Webber and
the Basham's walking and say, where the fuck is he? What he meaning?
He's gone the fuck? And maybe Webbers is all my god, this
is all my phone And yes, mc dun's brought to you by NBA Street
Volume three, Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Sprint. Oh
okay, yeah, I thought the NBA Street Volume three was the one I
played a ton, but it was Volume two I played a time. I
think Volume two might have been. I don't know if I played Volume three.
I definitely played Volume two. I played more NFL Street I think,
though. Dude, that was fucking oh my guymaed Street Volume two. Man,
I was banging that show out crazy. But what a fucking great game.
Yeah, that was unbelievable that we should play that sometime. Yeah,
that whole era games was like nuts. He a big was so based Tory
Wilson versus Hiroko and a kimono match, which is braun panties with the kimonos.
I can't fucking believe this is happening. This is yeah, it really
is fucked up. Tad asked Cole if he has ever in a kimona not
in a ring? Wait? What? Yeah? Not a ring? Is
that so you meant to wearing one? Not in a ring? Okay?
So Hiroko starts to match by throwing the mister Fuji salt and Tori's face.
Dude, they couldn't help, They couldn't resist. They just couldn't stopped them
away, go fucking throw the salt in her eyes now, well. Tory
then hits the fucking clothesline from hell. Oh my god, dud dude,
this was so sick. Rocco throws a cake, Tory blocks it and fucking
decapitator. Oh shit, dude, it's so funny because j later and Tories
was better than his. It was fucking Beroko is like, what the fuck,
dude. Tori's also lighting her up in the corner with fucking chops like
strong style. Tory Wilson is here and she airplane Spencer was fit Philly training
these people. Yet was he here yet? Yeah? He definitely. Yeah,
Oh yeah he thought her that shit. He said, yeah, it
isn't what you go do out there now. Yeah, airplanes been lariett Larryett.
That's nuts, man, dude, it was sweet as fund. Tori
then rips the kimono off Hiroko. Oh no, she's hot. Can you
believe it? Oh my god, this is fucking horrible. I can't believe
it. She's so sexy. She is super hot. So Tory goes to
leave the ring after she won the match and then turns around and takes off
her kimono. Anyways, all right, cool, she should have wore that
nude set that she was wearing on two thousand and two. Smacked, that
was a cheat code. That's that was like, yeah, that was crazy
man, she was out. Yeah, she like to stole a couple of
victories from Don Marie in that era because of the cheat code. The cheat
cold. Yeah, Don Marie definitely should have won some of those fucking bikini
contests in two thousand and two. The nude is unfair. That dude says,
fucked up, you're cheating. As Tory is going up the ramp,
JBL comes out and he's got the big ass blow Up Godzilla. His carrying
Godzilla with him and they stopped in the aisland stare Tory and then getting to
the ring, Jabil tries to throw Godzilla into the ring. It falls back
on top of him and he bumps for it. Yeah, and so we
get the JBO and Godzilla town Hall. So JBL's in the ring with blow
Up Godzilla and he's kind a promo on it. He says, I am
afraid of you. You ain't another but a lizard on steoids. You're like
Barry Bonds. I bet you play baseball, and he slaps him with his
hat. He says, all these Japanese people are scared of you, run
around with their cameras. They're on the subway, they eat noodles. That
is not correct, by the way, people are not afraid of Godzilla and
love Godzilla. He's fucking the protector of this area. He said, I'm
afraid of you. Ain't another but a tyrannosaurus. You're a lizard. You're
like Big Show. He's a dinosaurian. His name's Barney. Heats pizza boom.
They have no idea what he's fucking saying. No, he say,
you ain't pizza and JBL stands for Judge Beatle Lizard and I ain't afraid what
you're looking at. I am scared of you. And the Godzilla falls over
the crowd pops and Jabil takes his jacket off and again, I am afraid
you. I'll beat you like I beat Big Show. I'm w M.
This was a rib for sure. Like they definitely like the rib. Like
having this guy go out here and do this promo where he's not even talking
in his like accent makes it even harder for them to understand, and like
they're like, yeah, go take your clothes out there, do dum accent.
No one goes day. It was so awkwardly silent for all of this.
It was crazy. Yeah, they like when he stops talking though,
you'll hear like boo. But like it's just because they feel like they need
to boot JBL because he's JBL. He he says, Big Show is uh
four hundred and ninety thousand pounds, and he eats pizza. Pizza. I'm
gonna do is just like I'll do Big Show'll slapping in the face and you
won't do nothing about it. He's slapping this fucking Godzilla. He's slapping him,
slapping him. And then he takes by the way the champ, yes,
it takes his shorts off. Uh. And then he takes his belt
off and he whips Godzilla with it. Uh. He has pink boxers.
His pants are around his like fucking ankles. He falls over. He said,
put your dukes up, Dragon Eye afraid of you. And then way
and Bugle Cole says, oh my, this show is now here, and
he eats pizza. Four hundred and ninety thousand pounds and he's pizza baldhead fun
Big Show one titty eats pizza, Pizza, Big Shows big as barny pizza.
He gets the ring and Jabil is looking at him and he fucking punched
his Big Show. He starts whooping Big Show's assid hits him with the fucking
clothesline from l Yeah that's crazy. He's really came to his senses. Yeah
he's fine now. It was all a ruse though it was a plan from
the start. He was never hit with the trank it was. It was
what a good work? Yeah, it was a clothesline from Hell of the
Big Show and eats. I was my Cara. So JBLL calls for the
cabinet to come out, and they do come out. JBL starts beating Big
Show with his cowboy boot for some reason, I don't know why they did
this. The cabinet loaded Big Show up in the corner and JABS tries to
smash his hand with a chair but he misses, and then Big Show kills
all the cabinet double choke slam in the bashums choke slam to Orlando, huge
fucking choke slamming and eats four nine thousand pounds crazy. Yeah yeah, the
Godzilla joy Yeah, crowd did not understand any I was so confused. I'm
sure this whole show yeah yeah, unbelievable. Um, so we cut to
Tokyo they showed I think I think I'm pretty sure this, dude, I
think we were here. This's like the seventh story don Quixote. Yeah really
yeah, like because everything is like so fucking bright there. I was like,
I don't this looks like everything? Yeah? Yeah, I think that
was we remember, like towards the end of the trip, we went to
that seventh story just so it was so it was it was fun. Yeah,
I think that's what. That was excruciatingly hot. I can't remember.
I think that's like where the where the cat thing or it's like near the
cat Oh oh, I know the one of your talk, the one where
there was a fucking like car accident or something there. Yeah yeah, um
so yeah that was cool to see. Um, it's cool. No way,
Ale was brought to you by a sob bays shamag dude, Tony,
Tony, you're supposed to be here for this, man, God damn it.
Man. I was so excited. I know, I was so excited
and it's always I just think you can do it for the people. Yeah,
you get to Dave. He sorry, it's okay. So during the
Big Show, cuts a promo in the ring about being in the cage at
no way out with Jby. Why is he in the ring because he has
to call out Aku bono base guy. He does big show. He's talking
and he's blown up too. He says, I can flip a car over.
He's super breath. Go on, I can crushed most men's skulls with
my parents. Who most men? Who's whose skulls left out of this here?
Luther reins, Yeah, well, don't even give me start with that
guy's skull. Yeah, he says. Uh. As far as being a
giant goes, there's only one manager pan that con relates to being a john,
and that's Alki Bono, Alki Bono. They showed a woman the crowd
and he looks super unhappy to be there. Well, yeah, because he
probably has to sit there the whole time and watch his ship. This is
why I think is better sauce his matches. He gave me right, so
he showed you he does get your ass in the ring and the crowd goes,
oh yeah, he says, you're grand. He's a you're grand Jami.
You know what come of the ring? And I want to find a
grand champions made up? He says, Oh shit. They fucking gets in
the ring and they stare each other down. I don't knowize how fucking tall
Ackybono was too. Yeah, dude, that was so The stair doown was
so sick they had here was how cool was that? Yeah? It was
a stair down and then fucking they big show gross him like, oh shit,
he's gonna fucking hit him, but he does it. He doesn't hit
him. No, they shake hands. I didn't like that. Yeah,
I would have hit him. They should have. I mean, Aucuybona should
have bumped him the cabinator John, Yeah, that would have been sweet,
dude, he doesn't five. It was realized Easy w would have. It's
so big. The hit club would have been the best. Yeah, that's
unbelievable. They would have been on a three year run. Easy damn.
He was beating them. Yeah, nobody man, probably, Yeah, I
definitely so, I'll tell you that much. No way, he's out of
his company. Yeah, you get the fuck out of here. Enemy by
Fozzi's the theme song of No Way Out. That's a good song. I
like that song. TNA uses that soon do they use it the same year?
Oh? No bound for Glorio six they use that form Oh okay okay,
so a year later, and that made everyone think Jericho was going to
TNA. Jericho said that. Well, Jericho posted on his blog he said
he did. I remember that he had the big TENA logo on the front
page of a site. Don't you guys want to see if you get a
DNA fucking Jericho, bro that man, you should have went. Yeah,
I agree. It would have been sweet. It would have been fun as
fucked. It really would have done a lot for him to it though,
you would. Yeah, pretty sweet. So they showed the graphics and No
Way Out And this is the most fucked up South Park parody ass graphics I've
ever seen. Bro. They are so fucked up looking. They're like luminosity
down crazy, like I don't know what's going on. Yeah, they cut
the like like drawn cartoons, and then like when it shows, like the
actual graphic, they're like standing on a platform. Yeah, and like once
you see one person's full body and the other is just like bust like it
was strange. Well, I go backstage. Kurd Angle walks out the Ray
mysteria and calls him a jumping bean. Dude, Oh my god, yeah,
he's a walk raised warming up, and Kurt says Ray, and Ray
says, what Chris is, don't get your hopes up to you to night
at night. You're a little jumping bean and you don't stand a chance races
jumping bean. So you think you are Kurt, You're just like everyone else,
always underestimating the little guy. Am I some kind of joke to you?
After I beating night? The joke is gonna be on you. Kurt
said, Okay, this is fucked up. Legit Like the first episode that
Hayman starts booking on two thousand two, SmackDown, Kurt Angle calls Ray mosterior
like a jumping bean, and then they damn day. I've been doing this
fucking for three keeps unbelievable. So Restime A twenty one is in fifty two
days. Everybody, wow, ukey bono, get ready fifty two days and
chase out. The fans in Japan loved Wabe. Look at mems and fun
out here. Look at all these guys having fun out here. They love
w B. And then he come back. This guy did spin a rooney
on the fucking concrete. That was crazy. There was one guy dressed as
kensas Suzuki saying he loves America and Tory wasn't his bussy, as you know.
That's real shit. So now we have Kurt Angle versus Ray Mysterio in
the main event here, um number one contender quarterfinal match should have been easy
home run and it was the best match of the night. It was the
best match night and it was a match but it was fine. But yeah,
man, it was like, like, you know, of course Kurt
Angle Ray finishing sequence is fucking sweet, and I like, I enjoyed the
match, but I don't know if it's just because everything else on the show
was whatever, But I thought the match was fun. I enjoyed it,
but I was like, damn, man, I expected them to, like
especially in Japan, and I think they had I feel like they had like
seventeen minutes. I don't know how long it really was. I swear,
like, the problem is, man, is they caught a ten minute match
that was eighteen Yeah, you're right, um, you know, and that
was like the whole era. This this time for WB was you know,
there was a ton of like sitting on dudes and like trying to get the
fans back around to like yeah, it's almost like they had to reset the
style, like the style had got so crazy and debian that's that was probably
the internal thought was like the style has gotten so nuts that like we have
to reset this, so like when people do stuff that's nuts that like they
have to like know it's a big deal again. Yeah, because you remember
like this whole ara, like even two thousand and two, like there was
so much like they'd sit on guys for dude, they would extended amount of
hole. It wasn't even like submissions. It was just holds. Yeah,
it was like yeah they drop a drop ahead right here, drop a chin
right here. It's like yeah, And it was yeah, that was like
I feel like, well, damn, I feel like we watched one of
those recently where we talked about that too, where it was just like fucking
yeah, I mean and I don't want to see that in a churning,
fucking ray Masterio match. Got damn it. I mean I understand, you
know, you guys take a breather, but god, damn, come on,
boys, and I know two thousand and five Kurt and Ray didn't need
to take a breather. No way, Yeah, no fucking way. So
Kurt comes out to you suck chants, by the way, which is cool.
Das was, Yeah that was by this. I couldn't understand that the
crowd chant at that. Ray comes out with the six one nine cam.
Yeah, well he couldn't jump out the ground, so he had to do
something. It's the fucking kid camast all that shit you stole from your boy.
Um. This whole match is centered around the fucking six one nine.
Ray goes for it a bunch of times, each time either Kurt dodges it
or catches it into something else. Yeah. Yeah, it's Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle was dominant on top and mysterious working from underneath. Yeah. Basically,
Taz is impressed with the crowd counting in English for the corner ten punches,
which I also thought was fucking cool. I guess because they hear it
so much on w BTV that they just know to count like that. That's
how I learned how to count in Spanish from Super Crazy doing that e c
w H. Kurt bumps right in the buckle, fucking belly to bells him.
Hell a lot of cool sup plexes in this match from Kurt. He
uh. He snatches Ray up at one point and kills him with a German
which and busted his own mouth open. Yeah, it was fucking sweet.
Ray does a moon solt off the second Kurt catches him in a power slam
and runs him into the opposite buckle. I was like, God, damn,
let's go um. Ray does it tital World DT goes for a six
one nine, but Kurt catches him and puts from the ankle uck. Ray
counters Kurt, hits the ropes. Ray rolls m up for two roll.
Kurt goes for the rolling Germans, but Ray rolls through and Kurt ends him
in the ropes. Ray finally hits the six one nine. He goes for
the West Coast Pop, but Kurt catches him, throws him over his head,
angle slams him, or tries to go for angle slams excuse me,
but Ray counters with an arm drag. Ray hits a standing rana for like
an unbelievable two point nine. I almost I like, bit crazy fuck fucking
got him on that bunch of two point nine's here. Eventually, Kurt hits
the angle, slam puts Ray and the ankle lock. Ray tries to roll
up, but Kurt holds on, which was fucking awesome. I always loved
when he did that. He hold on grape Vine and then Ray taps out.
Yeah the Grapevine minutes over. Grapevine hadn't mean it was over. I
swear there was. I swear we watched something where like it didn't happen.
I was blown away that someone didn't tap out to it. It might have
been shown, yeah, probably, Yeah, but submission's way too long.
He loved doing that. He couldn't get enough fun. Yeah, you know,
no, I'm obsessed. Uh. And Michael Cole sends us home by
saying Ari gotto tokyo, Oh, thank you. Uh interestingly booked and produced
and agent and Joe like, I don't know it was the road agents on
this one, but I don't know what happened here. Yeah, I'm pretty
sure they just told the boys, like just do whatever, you know,
take it easy. I know that flight was tough. Yeah, yeah,
I mean the idea was probably like, way, let's get home. You
know, they probably come on now let's go. We gotta go drinking.
Yeah, go on, guys, got sponsors trying to buy his dinners.
We gotta go. Yeah, that's probably what I had super kick him,
But Luther Reins promo is based as hell and done it again. Heylo.
