Ep. 415: WCW's World War 3 (1996) (Part 2)

<v Speaker 1>And we're back Laps Fan Wrestling podcast WCW World War
<v Speaker 1>three nineteen ninety six. Boss, you're ready for three ring
<v Speaker 1>sixty men?
<v Speaker 2>I fuck it? You know, I said, uh, you know, Jared,
<v Speaker 2>what the fuck's going on?
<v Speaker 3>Man?
<v Speaker 2>Kev's ready? I don't get it, you know, I just
<v Speaker 2>I don't see the problem. I'm gonna get this straight.
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to do anything until fifty guys have
<v Speaker 1>been eliminated.
<v Speaker 2>Listen, I'll tell you what it says in my contract,
<v Speaker 2>but I don't have to fucking do anything till I'm
<v Speaker 2>the final two.
<v Speaker 1>And it says in the turnstiles that this drew a
<v Speaker 1>turnaway crowd of ten three and fourteen fans to the
<v Speaker 1>Scope in Norfolk, one of those buildings with the roof
<v Speaker 1>that we need.
<v Speaker 2>I love it. I love the Scope. The building did
<v Speaker 2>ww ever work? There was that a second building? Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I can't recall ever seeing that building.
<v Speaker 1>It was like one of the quintessential crocket buildings.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we've seen a lot of shows take place
<v Speaker 2>at that building and I I always love it and
<v Speaker 2>I was it. Someone said that that that it was
<v Speaker 2>all like that, Like, you know, it's funny to hear
<v Speaker 2>us I mean there's years ago. It's funny to hear
<v Speaker 2>us talk so like, like fondly of it, because most
<v Speaker 2>people in the area think it was garbage. But yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I love that ceiling. I think it's such a unique.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah building distinct architecture that you can tell what building
<v Speaker 1>it is. That's all we ask for Baltimore Arena. You
<v Speaker 1>know how goes the gardens.
<v Speaker 2>It's so hard.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, apparently it is. But yeah, they packed him in
<v Speaker 1>ten thy three fourteen in attendance of which, according to
<v Speaker 1>The Observer, sevenenty eighteen were paid. That that equal to
<v Speaker 1>gate about one hundred eighteen thousand dollars. They had announced
<v Speaker 1>a sellout but managed to open up thirteen hundred more
<v Speaker 1>tickets on that Sunday and those quickly went and they
<v Speaker 1>still ended up turning away several hundred at the door.
<v Speaker 1>People want to see this nWo thing. They do absolutely
<v Speaker 1>also part of the whatever they did a local promotion
<v Speaker 1>in Norfolk. Every person who ordered Halloween Havoc was supposed
<v Speaker 1>to be able to get two free tickets to World
<v Speaker 1>War Three, and according to the Observer, more than three
<v Speaker 1>thousand people, way more than estimated, try to cash in
<v Speaker 1>on that. So you're looking at six thousand free free
<v Speaker 1>tickets and a building that holds ten ah so thankfully
<v Speaker 1>not that many were serviced. But uh, no, good deed
<v Speaker 1>goes unpunished, that's for sure. There was a dark match
<v Speaker 1>Laparca beat Viano four. I do, yes, the uh that's
<v Speaker 1>the one I know everyone's been waiting for. Absolutely, they
<v Speaker 1>an't event anywhere in the country. What happened to Vieno three?
<v Speaker 1>He's around all right. He had one of the more
<v Speaker 1>legendary mass matches I remember in two thousand against was
<v Speaker 1>it lis Martino Atlantis. Yeah, he's a legend of Mexican
<v Speaker 1>wrestling as well. This is the time when you know,
<v Speaker 1>through Conan's connection, they're bringing in a ton of loose
<v Speaker 1>writers triple A promost Teca. Everyone wanted to taste of
<v Speaker 1>that WCW money.
<v Speaker 2>Was there a Vienna five? Yes, there was, Yes, there was.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, what a number we at now, that's a great question.
<v Speaker 1>I actually don't know if it's still going. That's a
<v Speaker 1>great question. I just remember at the time and Vienno
<v Speaker 1>four had just come in and he also wrestled on
<v Speaker 1>Nitro as Tony Paanya a couple of times, included the
<v Speaker 1>next night on Nitro against Steve Regal. So it's like
<v Speaker 1>it's Viano four and all the costume with the four
<v Speaker 1>on his trunks even but he just doesn't have a
<v Speaker 1>mask on. Welcome to w CW.
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't he a baseball catcher baseball player for yan Yeah? Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>well that's to say nothing of Viano three.
<v Speaker 1>Real named Mike Piazza, I played for the Royals.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I'm thinking Piazza. I'm thinking Piatt a Yankee, right,
<v Speaker 2>he was a Yankee? Or the Met he was a Dodger,
<v Speaker 2>O man, he was a Met. He was a Met.
<v Speaker 2>He was a Met. I knew someone's a fucking New
<v Speaker 2>York baseball player. There's one of them out there. There's someone
<v Speaker 2>out there played baseball in New York. Well that's for sure.
<v Speaker 4>Uh.
<v Speaker 1>But we start with the black and white map of
<v Speaker 1>the globe and we have the stylized Tonight, w CW
<v Speaker 1>presents World War Three the top w W stars, including
<v Speaker 1>members of the nWo.
<v Speaker 2>I got to say that got to set that aside.
<v Speaker 2>Is distinct. It is it's like, you know, that's the thing,
<v Speaker 2>like there's there is a there's there's a difference, you know,
<v Speaker 2>That's that's what That's what made it so interesting was
<v Speaker 2>that they really really tried hard to make it different.
<v Speaker 2>I will say for a while that makes it very interesting.
<v Speaker 2>But like we've always said, they got to lose, they
<v Speaker 2>got to lose, and yeah they do.
<v Speaker 1>And we get some nice graphics of fighter jets flying
<v Speaker 1>across the ring because this is World War three, after absolutely,
<v Speaker 1>it is war. Tony lets us know there's not a
<v Speaker 1>seat to be found as the Native Virgini and Tony
<v Speaker 1>Shivanni welcomes us in as found.
<v Speaker 2>Now there's not there was about half hour.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, exactly, there's actually not a seat to be
<v Speaker 1>found when people cashed in their Halloween havoc or sipts.
<v Speaker 1>Either heads Funny, Tony says, fans of w CW, fans
<v Speaker 1>of the nWo, and fans of the greatest sport in
<v Speaker 1>the world gather here tonight we get the sparkler.
<v Speaker 2>Fans of neither. What if there's like, what about w
<v Speaker 2>D fans that are in the building, you know, are them.

<v Speaker 1>Who let you back here? So there's you know, some
<v Speaker 1>with globals. Sparkler's going up on the posts of all
<v Speaker 1>three rings to kick us off. And this is Dusty
<v Speaker 1>Roads and his red leather era.
<v Speaker 2>Oh can we not?
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a lot.
<v Speaker 2>Can we not with this? With this fucking disaster? What's
<v Speaker 2>he doing wearing that ship? I mean also not to mention,
<v Speaker 2>not to mention. It's like, you know, how many cows
<v Speaker 2>died to make that leather jacket. How many cows died
<v Speaker 2>to feed them lunch that afternoon? Consider all that? All right,
<v Speaker 2>we're talking what are we doing, like like two dozen cows?
<v Speaker 2>That's one thing to notice. Service to service Dusty Roads
<v Speaker 2>for a day, that's one thing. You know.
<v Speaker 1>Notice they roll credits at the NWW pay per views,
<v Speaker 1>but nothing ever said about no animals were harmed in
<v Speaker 1>the making of you.
<v Speaker 2>Damn right now. That's also because they considered the talent
<v Speaker 2>to be animals.
<v Speaker 1>Right yeah, And plus Joe Lorinidis was there for several
<v Speaker 1>years and he was harmed in the making of the show. Definitely,
<v Speaker 1>aren't Heenan? Of course too, they're all rings side sixty men,
<v Speaker 1>three rings. Careers could be made and ended tonight, we're told,
<v Speaker 1>And Heenan wants to know what will Piper do when
<v Speaker 1>he looks into Hulk Cogan's eyes?
<v Speaker 2>To me, he does, and I have that one for
<v Speaker 2>you here, But.
<v Speaker 5>I'm more concerned to see what rowdy Roddy Piper's gonna
<v Speaker 5>do when he looks right into the eye of Hulk Hogan.
<v Speaker 6>Well, we have a feeling we know what rowdy Roddy
<v Speaker 6>Piper's gonna do dream because he says he will.
<v Speaker 2>Be here tonight and let's you know, we're gonna hear
<v Speaker 2>Dusty here, and Dusty's really gonna Dusty's gonna really tie
<v Speaker 2>this one up with a neat bow.
<v Speaker 7>To finally sign the match.
<v Speaker 6>Why has Eric Bischoff continually attempted to stall these contract
<v Speaker 6>when being signed. That's my question, and my other question
<v Speaker 6>to you is will Hulk Hogan finally sign.
<v Speaker 7>This or will he back out of it?
<v Speaker 8>Well, Papa picked this opportunity to pick a fight. Now
<v Speaker 8>he's gonna bring his contract himself into flesh.
<v Speaker 7>Yes, right out here w cw W A big boy's.
<v Speaker 8>Plate and Hawk Hogen, The question is will you step
<v Speaker 8>up to the plate and accept this challenge from Ruddy Papa,
<v Speaker 8>Because any where there's a fight, we're gonna have a
<v Speaker 8>lot of fighting going on here tonight, I guarantee that much.
<v Speaker 9>What I mean, he just is anyone that's gonna be
<v Speaker 9>a fight, and we're gonna have a lot of fighting.
<v Speaker 2>Daddy running on my f hole.
<v Speaker 1>Only time, if only time, that there was ever a
<v Speaker 1>salad coming out of Dusty's mouth A word salad. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>just he just does that for like three straight years
<v Speaker 1>on Commentary W step through the whole NW angle, he
<v Speaker 1>just starts making sounds and.
<v Speaker 2>Like there's just so much nonsense, so much, so much
<v Speaker 2>nonsense that he spews out on this show. And it
<v Speaker 2>is I mean, it's it's a it's amazing that he's
<v Speaker 2>able to do that. And like I wouldn't say it
<v Speaker 2>makes a point because he certainly doesn't, but he makes
<v Speaker 2>it sound like he said something.
<v Speaker 1>Oh he does.
<v Speaker 2>That's that's I guess what the impressive thing is that
<v Speaker 2>he made it sound like he said something even though
<v Speaker 2>he said nothing at all.
<v Speaker 1>Because what's key to Dusty and Commentary is after he
<v Speaker 1>does that obliviation, he never smiles at himself or laughs
<v Speaker 1>at himself at the end. He always has that that
<v Speaker 1>kind of stoic look on his face, like he knows
<v Speaker 1>he just delivered something profound. It's up to you to
<v Speaker 1>figure it out. Ye And speaking of profound, speaking of impactful?
<v Speaker 1>Is not the first theme song we hear on World
<v Speaker 1>War three ninety six?
<v Speaker 2>Som Soon Chodham and do I still have that song
<v Speaker 2>to this day? Of course when mystereo comes on the
<v Speaker 2>team hum hum huan fun fun hunum. Yeah, it's classic
<v Speaker 2>Fung fung Harlem. What is that Terry and Dorry versus.
<v Speaker 1>Stevie Rayam Booker. That's right, that's it, this one. This
<v Speaker 1>one's for the eight Crown Cruiserweight Championship ever seen Ultimore
<v Speaker 1>Dragon Dressed and all those belts before.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, rather not.
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if that that was just the
<v Speaker 1>generic song they used for everybody from New Japan and
<v Speaker 1>ninety five. Here he comes.
<v Speaker 2>It's better than the It's better than recycling the fucking
<v Speaker 2>Orient Express.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, here comes Ray Junior. Man is he junior? How
<v Speaker 1>small was.
<v Speaker 2>He back then? Yeah? You know, like he's such a
<v Speaker 2>little twerp.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, he was five six months in the company coming
<v Speaker 1>in Great American Mass ninety six. Everyone talks about that
<v Speaker 1>night everyone.
<v Speaker 2>You hit the weights, man, you know, ship you think
<v Speaker 2>about taking the mask off Hermano. Yeah. The thing about it,
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're telling stories with the images. Man, one
<v Speaker 2>can see your fucking eye. I just got Viano to
<v Speaker 2>take his off. Man, Tony Perez, good looking guy. Let's uh,
<v Speaker 2>you know, I say, fucking let's see what's going on.
<v Speaker 2>Tell you what.
<v Speaker 1>After I end Goldbrook streak, I'll take your mask and
<v Speaker 1>they'll be doing Goldberg is like barely in the government.
<v Speaker 1>So the jet flies across the screen and drops some
<v Speaker 1>letters into place for our graphics and our lower thirds.
<v Speaker 2>Because it's war, right, it's war, so we're dropping bombs.
<v Speaker 1>Well then, actually the dice, the WW crosshair is target
<v Speaker 1>logo on the apron on the mat is very appropriate
<v Speaker 1>for World War that's true.
<v Speaker 2>That is true.
<v Speaker 1>Black ropes, yellow pads on the buckling, plenty of planted
<v Speaker 1>blondies in the front row here on the Virginia waterfront.
<v Speaker 1>That was a Bishop specialty. Tony calls this one of
<v Speaker 1>the greatest wrestling cities in the world and says they
<v Speaker 1>hung a World War You can see they hung a
<v Speaker 1>World War three banner way the fuck at the top
<v Speaker 1>of the scope. I don't know how they got up there,
<v Speaker 1>but guys, there's gonna be someone there's gonna be some
<v Speaker 1>access like you know walk or or I'm thinking like
<v Speaker 1>there's gotta be a way to get you know, kind
<v Speaker 1>of like the you know, the the MSG ceiling, you
<v Speaker 1>can you can.
<v Speaker 2>Walk up above that. You know, there's there's there's stuff
<v Speaker 2>up there that that you're allowed to walk. You're not
<v Speaker 2>allowed to you know. It's cause, yeah, it's caused for
<v Speaker 2>immediate termination for anybody who said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>Like people supervisors always told me that it was like
<v Speaker 2>if you even step up there, if you even walk
<v Speaker 2>through the door, you are immediately terminating. Unreal, Like there's
<v Speaker 2>very very strict in regards to which unions or union
<v Speaker 2>can go up there. Yeah, I bet, and they'll they'll
<v Speaker 2>fucking cany in a heartbeat.
<v Speaker 1>All those years, I remember watching Ultimo Dragon, but they're
<v Speaker 1>telling me here it's Ultimate Dragon. They always change it,
<v Speaker 1>the ult change it, Yeah, the Ultimate Ultimo. They change
<v Speaker 1>it all the time. That's like a thing that they
<v Speaker 1>would do, they would, you know, on purpose.
<v Speaker 2>But actually I think this, oh yeah, this is as
<v Speaker 2>Dragon is coming down to the ring. This is Heenan
<v Speaker 2>has some ideas as to what maybe underneath his robe.
<v Speaker 5>Well, I bet if you check him out real caref
<v Speaker 5>that you'll probably find a couple of upcames from a
<v Speaker 5>Toyota on him.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I love it so much. Such a fuck.
<v Speaker 1>This is the J Crown with all those belts, including
<v Speaker 1>the WWF Junior Heavyweight belt, which after they split off
<v Speaker 1>from New Japan in eighty four, ended up finding a
<v Speaker 1>permanent home in New Japan and not in the WWF,
<v Speaker 1>but that one he tended to leave in the locker
<v Speaker 1>room in WCW. Did Ultimo Dragon right? But take a
<v Speaker 1>look at the display. Soniono accompanying him as Tony Shivanni
<v Speaker 1>talks about how these titles are from Mexico, Great Britain, Japan,
<v Speaker 1>all over the world, and how Ultimo Dragon had just
<v Speaker 1>participated in the J Crown tournament of junior heavyweight wrestlers
<v Speaker 1>that passed August went to the finals. And you can
<v Speaker 1>even see the old NWA license plate style junior title
<v Speaker 1>in there as well. So we have the the opening
<v Speaker 1>contest here and the J Crown is the iw GP
<v Speaker 1>Junior Heavyweight, the NWA Junior Heavyweight and worlterweight titles, the
<v Speaker 1>UWA from Mexico light heavyweight title, the war which was
<v Speaker 1>a Japanese Promotion International Junior Heavyweight Title War is where
<v Speaker 1>Benoit and Jericho came from the WWF Flight Heavyweight title,
<v Speaker 1>the Great Britain Junior Heavyweight title, and the w w
<v Speaker 1>A Junior light Heavyweight title, and you know they kind
<v Speaker 1>of that was a very impactful visual when Ultimore Dragon
<v Speaker 1>would come out with all those belts, that was fucking
<v Speaker 1>awesome that they let him come out with those, even
<v Speaker 1>though they weren't company straps. It made him look incredible.
<v Speaker 1>So Heenan says, you'll find a couple hub caps.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty points out the w CW Cruise Ofweight Belt is
<v Speaker 1>not among them, so Ultimore Dragons still had some work
<v Speaker 1>to do in the ranks of the cruiserweight division. Dean
<v Speaker 1>Malko our champ will be defending later and they're in
<v Speaker 1>ring number one. We're told, I guess these guys just
<v Speaker 1>have to pick a ring to wrestle in.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess. It's so, you know, this is
<v Speaker 2>this is the issue here, you know, with having a
<v Speaker 2>multi ring situation, especially three rings, it's such a I
<v Speaker 2>don't know again, Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>It's it's I kind of get it. You know, let
<v Speaker 2>people see from different vantage points and whatnot.
<v Speaker 1>I understand, and they make a big deal about the
<v Speaker 1>tension in the air. Bischoff, having just turned on WCW, I.
<v Speaker 2>Got this one for you. Here we go. This is
<v Speaker 2>uh and Dusty. Dusty spouts gibberish for us too as well.
<v Speaker 8>Well, it was Titson in the arena's tension back in
<v Speaker 8>the dressing room.
<v Speaker 7>It's Titchon in.
<v Speaker 8>In the era where they nWo have their own special plate.
<v Speaker 8>And we know why they got their special plates now
<v Speaker 8>because all the way upto top something was rotten and
<v Speaker 8>we found on a pass nitrol. But bottom line, the
<v Speaker 8>night things the ship could be could be uh put back,
<v Speaker 8>sending down the right path.
<v Speaker 7>I guarantee you, Bob what I agree. I agree, Bob.
<v Speaker 7>He's busy over here in this match, is what I'm doing.
<v Speaker 2>I just had no idea what Dusty said exactly. It
<v Speaker 2>was ships and what so.
<v Speaker 1>The opening contest here World War three ninety six Rabisterio
<v Speaker 1>Junior and Ultimo Dragon Rabye the Headlock Takeover Dragon Kicks Free.
<v Speaker 1>Tony says these two met three times, once before Hogwild
<v Speaker 1>and on an episode of Saturday Night and on Nitro,
<v Speaker 1>so we already, you know. I remember that so well.
<v Speaker 1>I remember seeing Ultimo Dragon for the first time on
<v Speaker 1>Nitro when I was in my early days of flipping
<v Speaker 1>the channels in ninety six. Yeah, because the NBA was
<v Speaker 1>drawing me in and I saw these guys. What the fuck.
<v Speaker 1>I still remember how being so impacted by the fact
<v Speaker 1>that they were springboarding off the middle of the ropes.
<v Speaker 2>You know when I was Yeah, you know I didn't care. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>you know I didn't. If I'm being completely honest, I
<v Speaker 2>didn't really appreciate what guys like Dragon and Raymisteria were
<v Speaker 2>doing back then. Like for some reason, and maybe this
<v Speaker 2>is just me always being behind the times, which is
<v Speaker 2>very very possible. I I just was like, I don't
<v Speaker 2>I don't care. Yeah, like it probably goes to show
<v Speaker 2>why I don't like the flip floppy shit these days. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I do appreciate Ray Mysterio much more now and certainly
<v Speaker 2>watching his stuff then and nolsmore Dragon the same. But
<v Speaker 2>back then, I just I couldn't get behind, maybe because
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know who they were, and you know, my
<v Speaker 2>closed mindedness about it was like, you know, you can't
<v Speaker 2>come into this company unless even ww nless I fucking
<v Speaker 2>know who you are. I see. Yeah, well that's yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's hard for them to overcome. But of course, yeah
<v Speaker 2>you can't. It's impossible because the way you're not building
<v Speaker 2>up new stars.
<v Speaker 1>There's always something about wrestling where I was drawn into
<v Speaker 1>the moves, Like I was always interested, even like Karate
<v Speaker 1>Kid movies, like what are moves that would work.
<v Speaker 2>That we haven't seen?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the Cruiser Weights brought like thirty new moves
<v Speaker 1>per match that you really hadn't seen it on national
<v Speaker 1>television in the United.
<v Speaker 2>Totally, totally. I do wonder what it was that I just,
<v Speaker 2>you know, I was like, oh, okay, here we go.
<v Speaker 2>And the masks bothered me too. I didn't to me,
<v Speaker 2>and this is just you know, to me, the masks
<v Speaker 2>meant you weren't to be taken seriously. Sure.
<v Speaker 1>I mean so many Jibronis and w W have had
<v Speaker 1>masks and hardly any of them ever won anything.
<v Speaker 2>That's probably you're probably right. I probably was groomed to
<v Speaker 2>think that the mask thing was not it was was not.
<v Speaker 2>Was was kind of like, okay, you're a loser if
<v Speaker 2>you wear a mask.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, Yep, doctors, the tradition so well, Ultimo Dragon takes
<v Speaker 1>it down to the mat food you are Armbard, Dusty
<v Speaker 1>guarantees Ultimore knows all the high risk maneuvers. That's That's
<v Speaker 1>something that's cool about w s evictru'swaight matches back then,
<v Speaker 1>is to watch Dusty kind of mark out for moves
<v Speaker 1>that he'd never as wild as Dreams would have attempted
<v Speaker 1>or even hurt.
<v Speaker 2>Oh right, or even thought he would ever see in
<v Speaker 2>his lifetime.
<v Speaker 1>But he's still kind of rejoicing in what they're doing
<v Speaker 1>in there, which I think is cool as opposed to
<v Speaker 1>being threatened by it, you know, or or seeing it
<v Speaker 1>is the wrong way to do pro wrestling. Right back up,
<v Speaker 1>Bultimore Dragon with a slam and an elbow drop a
<v Speaker 1>tight press, gets to referee Mark Curtis Bright hild A
<v Speaker 1>brand down at eye level. Sure Dragon cranks a sleepers race,
<v Speaker 1>sneaks out h's a hammer lock, and they say if
<v Speaker 1>Remisterio Junior gets loose Onnya, he can hit moves from
<v Speaker 1>the ceiling. This is Dusty, of course talking of course
<v Speaker 1>he says he can drop kick from a chair. Well
<v Speaker 1>that's not wrong, it's not the ceiling, but I get it. Man,
<v Speaker 1>Ulti Dragon rolls through in a wristlock and a chop
<v Speaker 1>whip over the top the chop.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if this one or not, but I do.
<v Speaker 2>At some point Shavanni actually calls out the first chop
<v Speaker 2>of the match and says like that was the first chop.
<v Speaker 1>Of the ceremonial first chop, What does that even mean?
<v Speaker 1>First chop of Christmas, the first chop of dinner. So
<v Speaker 1>he goes over the top. Ulto Dragon tumbles underneath the
<v Speaker 1>leap frog sidestep right as a springboard backflip, lands on
<v Speaker 1>his feet. Then there's a backdrop attempt on Dragon, but
<v Speaker 1>he does that deal where he would counter a backdrop
<v Speaker 1>by rotating and kind of cart wheeling off to the side,
<v Speaker 1>landing on his feet. Then both nip up and go
<v Speaker 1>face off, and the crowd pops at that athletic display.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty says they were flip flopping in a flying This
<v Speaker 1>might be this. I don't know what the whole what
<v Speaker 1>the whole quote is here? So here here we go,
<v Speaker 1>both of them.
<v Speaker 8>Spring back up and nip club and both common for
<v Speaker 8>high risk believa. Then they will flip clopping and then
<v Speaker 8>a flying and nobody connect him.
<v Speaker 7>Not even the chop did any damage.
<v Speaker 8>And I'll tell you what, if it's a real I'll
<v Speaker 8>figure out process. Right here, they're trying to boom kick
<v Speaker 8>him there, keep in the billy Willie, keep in a
<v Speaker 8>bit of Wallie.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's what I thought when I saw this match
<v Speaker 1>of figuring out process. Yes, and I also thought, yes,
<v Speaker 1>of course, kick him in the billy Willie. That's the
<v Speaker 1>way to go. So Dragon me and I said, you
<v Speaker 1>know what, do it twice? Yeah, kick him in the
<v Speaker 1>billy will They kick him in the billy Now we
<v Speaker 1>fumble the.
<v Speaker 2>Billy Willie sounds like a fucking robot, like who's who's
<v Speaker 2>you know? A microchip is fucking broken. Kick him in
<v Speaker 2>a billy Whelly, kick him in the billy will the
<v Speaker 2>kick him the billy with They kick him with the
<v Speaker 2>billy Willie.
<v Speaker 1>Spin kick Beltimore Dragon. He goes off with some light
<v Speaker 1>kicks and another spin kick drops some stereo. Dusty says,
<v Speaker 1>kick him in the belly willing ye. Eden says, uh,
<v Speaker 1>this is great. This is a theme throughout the show.
<v Speaker 1>He ninjas declares his pick to win the World War
<v Speaker 1>three Battle Royal is Dean Malenko, and he sticks.
<v Speaker 2>To this the whole time. I love it, and I
<v Speaker 2>wish that happened.
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, you know, who knows what the nWo has
<v Speaker 1>in mind. Maybe they didn't want to win this thing necessarily,
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they just want to do damage. He just keeps saying,
<v Speaker 1>the Cruiseway Champion Milinco. And I remember p w I
<v Speaker 1>had Dean Milinko number one and their five hundred for
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven, even though all they did was wrestling.
<v Speaker 2>I remember that. I remember that.
<v Speaker 1>At first, I was like, maybe he did that because
<v Speaker 1>pw I just declared Dean, But now that was the
<v Speaker 1>year before. It's such a curious choice for Heenan to
<v Speaker 1>just like beat that drum the whole broadcast.
<v Speaker 2>But he did. If you ordered money, it's probably a rib.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Irish whips verse, Ultimate Dragon backdrops. Ray goes to
<v Speaker 1>the apron and hits ay Jericho like springboard dropkick, very
<v Speaker 1>nice to the floor, goes Ultimate Dragon, Sonyono goes out
<v Speaker 1>Ray Mysterio. Sonyono comes over and gets a kick in
<v Speaker 1>on the stereo and Dustin calls him a sneaky man.
<v Speaker 1>At least he didn't Charlie chopsticks or anything.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, that's you know, They also at some point
<v Speaker 2>Tony and Dusty wereminding Din that he into money. Don't
<v Speaker 2>have a money deal. Yeah, they get a money deal.
<v Speaker 1>They did not let that one die he had from
<v Speaker 1>the previous star Kane, right, yes, that's right, Yeah, in
<v Speaker 1>the ws W New Japan kind of thing. And he said,
<v Speaker 1>you know, I didn't sell someone down the river. He
<v Speaker 1>Dion denies the whole thing. Tony says, I don't even
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about that, and he says, good, let's
<v Speaker 1>drop it.
<v Speaker 2>To the apron. They go.
<v Speaker 1>Ultimo Dragon tries to suplex, but no, Ray mysterio goes
<v Speaker 1>to the waistlock reversed and yes, uh, I believe we
<v Speaker 1>have Germanic soup play here on display and Norfolk.
<v Speaker 2>It's about it's about.
<v Speaker 1>Bridging when you're at this weight class. And also Dragon
<v Speaker 1>certainly bridges off the German supplex for two Irish whip in.
<v Speaker 1>Ultimo Dragon lifts Ray and flops him to a big
<v Speaker 1>ooh from the crowd. While you're up there, can you
<v Speaker 1>check the lights? Heenen says, alto.
<v Speaker 2>Dragon kicks Ray in you can get a new ball
<v Speaker 2>bin please? Yeah, in violation of the aforementioned union rules.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, he was not on the ceiling, so he
<v Speaker 2>can just if he flies up. It's a whole different story.
<v Speaker 2>No one said you could. No one said you couldn't
<v Speaker 2>fly up to put a to put a bulb, and
<v Speaker 2>you just can't walk on the ceiling, right.
<v Speaker 1>I probably remarked upon this before, but one of heen
<v Speaker 1>and signatures in WW was when someone hit a real
<v Speaker 1>hard blow, he'd go, mmm, remember that, like like he
<v Speaker 1>can feel it his own spine.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>And he does that here yep. As Ultimate Dragon lends
<v Speaker 1>a stiff kick to a down mysterio whipping a tilted
<v Speaker 1>whirld to the shoulder goes right in stereo, and from
<v Speaker 1>that position, Ultimate Dragon spins around and around like an
<v Speaker 1>airplane spin and drops with almost an abyss shock treatment
<v Speaker 1>across the shoulders. And the crowd pops for that display.
<v Speaker 1>They're kind of in awe at how much rotations are
<v Speaker 1>going on in that ring.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, it's it's a pretty it's pretty fucking
<v Speaker 2>wild actually to see these guys do pretty seamless shit,
<v Speaker 2>and it's it is wild again watching it now, I
<v Speaker 2>have a whole different appreciation for it. That's cool then
<v Speaker 2>I did when I was when I was you know fifteen,
<v Speaker 2>Well Dragon with a front back breaker and a half crab.
<v Speaker 2>I can't say myself. Why don't they kicking and punching?
<v Speaker 1>Well, Dragon did a fair amount of kicking, but I
<v Speaker 1>get your point. They never punch really, and these cruiserweight matches.
<v Speaker 2>Hit the ropes before they punched.
<v Speaker 1>They sure would green teeth from Dragon's mist here, but
<v Speaker 1>we didn't really see him blow the mist. But it's
<v Speaker 1>all green in his face and that was confusing, I'm
<v Speaker 1>sure to some crowd stomping their feet in the scope
<v Speaker 1>for Ray. He gets free, there's a power bomb, and
<v Speaker 1>does Ultimo Dragons stack Ray as a cruiserweight should be
<v Speaker 1>stacked here?
<v Speaker 2>Listen, listen, that's you've said it before, and I agree
<v Speaker 2>with you. Cruiserweight power bombs are fucking money.
<v Speaker 1>Why I show up to a wrestling show. I show
<v Speaker 1>up for some like undersized guy to get snatched out
<v Speaker 1>of mid air and just dumped and folded and pinned.
<v Speaker 1>And that's what Dragon does here. Then he lifts him
<v Speaker 1>up and then instead of power bombing him again, he
<v Speaker 1>kind of falls backwards and hot shots Ray throte first
<v Speaker 1>to the top rope, cover gets two. Dragon comes up
<v Speaker 1>with the whip and a lift and drops him with
<v Speaker 1>a spinebuster. Tony calls it a power bomb.
<v Speaker 2>That's okay.
<v Speaker 1>Ultimo Dragon with a giant swing and rotates Ray over
<v Speaker 1>and over and over again drops him and then Dragon
<v Speaker 1>falls on his ass and they laugh and Norfolk they
<v Speaker 1>like that because he's dizzy Dusty things dragging. Got a
<v Speaker 1>little tipsy topsy there as we see Sonny you no
<v Speaker 1>fanning himself at ringside and then he creeps up to Ray,
<v Speaker 1>but Race.
<v Speaker 2>Lies in the ring.
<v Speaker 1>I mean Dusty might be a little tipsy topsy, yeah, exactly.
<v Speaker 1>It takes one to no one back. Then Ultimate Dragon
<v Speaker 1>with a Fisherman buster suplex gets too on Ray and
<v Speaker 1>Heenan says he missed Sonniono's interference earlier because his monitor
<v Speaker 1>had vertical issues, and Tony says, why don't you watch mine?
<v Speaker 1>Mine never seems to have any problems.
<v Speaker 2>I think I think Tony missed the joke on that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Tony's always instantly ready to show heen as a hypocrite.
<v Speaker 1>Instant yes, like humorlessly, you know, yes, Ultimate Dragon with
<v Speaker 1>a great brainbuster center of the ring gets big ouzinahs
<v Speaker 1>from the crowd, and that gets too and then he
<v Speaker 1>tries again, but Ray counters with an inside credle for
<v Speaker 1>close too. Dragon stays on him though, drops down with
<v Speaker 1>a heel hook and the leg gets scissored. Dusty says, Hollywood,
<v Speaker 1>Hogan is the man. If this thing is going to
<v Speaker 1>cease to exist, the nWo, that is, someone has to
<v Speaker 1>beat him on the way to the top. Gotta beat Hogan.
<v Speaker 1>And uh, it can't be Eric Bischoff. He's not a
<v Speaker 1>wrestler that that can. I don't know that that can
<v Speaker 1>You out stand in front of one you want to
<v Speaker 1>you want to secret there, guys, doesn't happen, never happened,
<v Speaker 1>never really happens, does it.
<v Speaker 3>No?
<v Speaker 1>They they even have to create a new nWo because
<v Speaker 1>they were so afraid to make it happen. And here
<v Speaker 1>that's why we won't. That's what kept us hooked yep
<v Speaker 1>in these early healthy on days of the nWo. And
<v Speaker 1>just another example here of how which is the bane
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of lower cart wrestlers existence and not
<v Speaker 1>be stebioid. They would just completely cut into other matches
<v Speaker 1>commentary to just you know, wax paranoia paranoia about the nWo.
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's it's you know, it works it works
<v Speaker 2>for sure, it definitely works. And and but again it
<v Speaker 2>only works if at the end they get beat yep,
<v Speaker 2>you know, because at some point you've got to move on.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's that's gonna listen. People have been hearing
<v Speaker 2>to say that for ten years and you're never gonna stop.
<v Speaker 2>It's as long as there are shows in in uh
<v Speaker 2>uh uh you know in the chamber for the feature
<v Speaker 2>of the nWo, which there are many. Uh, it's never
<v Speaker 2>going to not be said. Yep, because it's it's smatch
<v Speaker 2>you in the face every time you watch one of
<v Speaker 2>these shows. It really does.
<v Speaker 1>Now, I ask you a question. Here does Dragon elevate
<v Speaker 1>catch rain an upside down position and leap into a
<v Speaker 1>spike tombstone for the industry, I.
<v Speaker 2>Mean, look dragons here for one reason. Yeah, and it's
<v Speaker 2>to prove that he can hang and he can honestly
<v Speaker 2>hang where the Big Boys plays yeah as little boys. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he's he's not a little boy. What tombs?
<v Speaker 1>That's another one. Man, you want to talk New Japan
<v Speaker 1>J Cup, Best of Super Junior J Cup, war Race,
<v Speaker 1>cruiserweight tombstones or where it's at man to set up
<v Speaker 1>that top rope diving Headbut or something. Let's fucking get it.
<v Speaker 1>This one's only good for two though. For Dragon, although
<v Speaker 1>he absolutely spikes raying mysterio, whipping a dropkick, land sends
<v Speaker 1>way to the floor ultimate Dragon and basically does a
<v Speaker 1>six y one nine through the ropes. It's kind of
<v Speaker 1>like a fake me out, and then drop kicks Ray
<v Speaker 1>down skins the cat as Ray reaches for him, and
<v Speaker 1>then clears the ropes and lands on the floor. Whip
<v Speaker 1>is reversed and Ray goes into the guardrail. Ray has
<v Speaker 1>a Spider Man red mask on, by the way, with
<v Speaker 1>the whole webbing and everything. So much for that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well I do, Yeah, I like the Spider Man
<v Speaker 2>got up. You know, I've always appreciated Ray's comic book
<v Speaker 2>themed costumes. I think they're really cool.
<v Speaker 1>At high octane Cruiserweight, power Bomb and the ring didn't
<v Speaker 1>do it for you? How about Dragon hitting one on
<v Speaker 1>the floor on Ray mysterial that's what's next? Yes, and
<v Speaker 1>he gets what happened and against in the ring there's
<v Speaker 1>a piscado splash hits Ray on the floor to a
<v Speaker 1>big thud. There's a shot of Dusty Heenon and Tony
<v Speaker 1>with their backs to the actual fighting on the floor
<v Speaker 1>because of where they're announced.
<v Speaker 2>Table is positioned. Iculous.
<v Speaker 1>They're looking like at the monitors, there's an empty ring
<v Speaker 1>in front of them, behind them the match they're calling
<v Speaker 1>I I you know, I understand that that's what you
<v Speaker 1>have to do for the sake of the you know,
<v Speaker 1>the fans.
<v Speaker 2>Much of the monitor we're watching on TV. You gotta
<v Speaker 2>watch monitor and call what you what they what we're
<v Speaker 2>seeing at home. But man, if you if they get
<v Speaker 2>shots of you doing it, it really looks awful. So
<v Speaker 2>because nobody in their right mind would ever fucking do that,
<v Speaker 2>That's why we see it at Yoda because this unique angle. Also,
<v Speaker 2>it makes me wonder, why are they going to be ringside? Right?
<v Speaker 1>It is a great question.
<v Speaker 2>This is the one show if they're gonna be for
<v Speaker 2>any show. Honestly, if all they're doing is watching the monitor,
<v Speaker 2>why are they ring side? Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, never quite got that, but you know,
<v Speaker 1>they could have a vantage point like that, they could
<v Speaker 1>see all three rings. You know, made the perish the thought.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's like Mystery Science three thousand the way
<v Speaker 1>they're sitting, but the matches behind them, not in front
<v Speaker 1>of them, but they're there in the corner of the screen.
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's just that is one of the weird conundrums.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know, you know nowadays you got to
<v Speaker 2>put through people through tables, and so it's convenient to
<v Speaker 2>have them there. But I just don't understand because it's
<v Speaker 2>just distracting to see to see people watching them for
<v Speaker 2>me anyway, for watching the monitors and not the action
<v Speaker 2>in the ring.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, that's right there, like you'res watching the
<v Speaker 1>TV anyway. Back in Undertaker Purchase Ring, in the top rope,
<v Speaker 1>climbs and hits a spinning superhero Karana Thank god Christ. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>it's all about spinning Ranas and that gets two. Dragon
<v Speaker 1>hooks up a power bomb and then does a running
<v Speaker 1>fucking liger bomb, folding Raymisterio in half, fucking kills him
<v Speaker 1>and that gets two. That's the thing. All these guys
<v Speaker 1>are small, but if Ray is that much smaller than
<v Speaker 1>everybody else, it makes the other cruise of weights look
<v Speaker 1>like serious fucking monsters. Yeah, exactly, like a Dean Malinko,
<v Speaker 1>like an Ultimore drag.
<v Speaker 2>YEP.
<v Speaker 1>Crowd can't believe just how many high impact moves they're seeing.
<v Speaker 1>They really can't believe what these guys are doing to
<v Speaker 1>each other and kicking out, and Heenan says, it's got
<v Speaker 1>to be Clark Ken in that mask, because surely he
<v Speaker 1>means Peter Parker.
<v Speaker 2>But I get the point. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Whipped to the corner, Ray gets the boot up, spinning
<v Speaker 1>heel kick out of the corner, drops Ultimo Dragon, Ray
<v Speaker 1>Lunch and the comeback. Now he gets to the apron,
<v Speaker 1>springboard into an Arabian press that's split legged, moon Salt
<v Speaker 1>from the adjacent corner that gets two on the pin cover.
<v Speaker 1>Tony says he hit more Matt than Man on that
<v Speaker 1>moon Salt, and Dusty says, Mike Today would be mad
<v Speaker 1>at him for saying that. It's like Dusty's very self
<v Speaker 1>conscious about how Mike Today knows these actual wrestlers and
<v Speaker 1>how to pronounce their names and the names of the moves.
<v Speaker 1>Ye raise whiped out the ropes, front flips to the apron,
<v Speaker 1>hits the springboard drop kick that sends Dragon all the
<v Speaker 1>way to the floor right, then hits the ropes, middle rope, springboard,
<v Speaker 1>front flip, levels ultimate Dragon on the outside and they
<v Speaker 1>love it in Norfolk.
<v Speaker 2>It takes light, you know, it's very simple. Listen, it's
<v Speaker 2>it's a military town, that's right, all right. We saw
<v Speaker 2>the jet fly over early. We saw the jet fly over.
<v Speaker 2>It's not uncommon to see men airborne. Oh man.
<v Speaker 1>It was like, you know, back then, you hadn't even
<v Speaker 1>seen the setups to the moves they're doing, let alone
<v Speaker 1>the actual moves exactly.
<v Speaker 2>That is what made it great that you had no
<v Speaker 2>fucking idea what they were doing. They were going until
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, this guy's like like folded in
<v Speaker 2>about a sudden. It's like, wait a minute, I thought
<v Speaker 2>I was looking over here, But how's he over there? Exactly?
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's over here. Fuck, where is he going?
<v Speaker 10>Now?
<v Speaker 2>He keeps going higher and higher and higher? And I
<v Speaker 2>don't know how at flip diver floor park, doing some
<v Speaker 2>park horse shit all over the yeah, befo all of
<v Speaker 2>the ceiling of the of the scope of the scope.
<v Speaker 1>Dragons rolled back in. Ray hits a springboard sunset flip
<v Speaker 1>for two. Dragon gets up and does a jackknife cradle
<v Speaker 1>for a tight two count. Dragon then hits the ropes.
<v Speaker 1>Ray cartwheels as Dragon is hitting the ropes. Yes, he
<v Speaker 1>launches into motion with a cartwheel, lifts up, leaps and
<v Speaker 1>lands on the shoulders of Ultimore Dragon and spins around
<v Speaker 1>from that shoulder position off the cartwheel into a hr
<v Speaker 1>kanana that gets to yes, yes, yes h Ray cartwheels
<v Speaker 1>and leaps to moon Salt leaps to hurr kanana. The
<v Speaker 1>guy coming off the ropes, I'm in a very very
<v Speaker 1>good place. Yes, Dragon ducks Nelson. How about a Dragon suplex?
<v Speaker 1>Have these guys not landed on their head? It's enough
<v Speaker 1>with the two stones and the power bombs at this point,
<v Speaker 1>you might as well fuck this. How about a fucking
<v Speaker 1>Dragon soupplex bridge combination leg hooked one two not enough
<v Speaker 1>from Ultimo Dragon. Heenan says, get.
<v Speaker 2>A board and just beat him.
<v Speaker 1>That's the only way you can. Dragon tries another power bomb,
<v Speaker 1>this time Ray rolls through and stacks him up for two.
<v Speaker 1>They run the ropes. Ray holds on, though hits a
<v Speaker 1>back elbow, goes to the aprons signals for the springboard
<v Speaker 1>hurrican rana. He goes for it, but no Dragon catches
<v Speaker 1>him in mid air. The West Coast Pop, as he
<v Speaker 1>would call it in WW, catches him on his shoulders,
<v Speaker 1>bounces Rays back off the top rope in the power
<v Speaker 1>bomb formation, spins sits out power bomb one two three.
<v Speaker 1>It's over thirteen minutes forty eight seconds. Ultimate Dragon defeats
<v Speaker 1>Ray Misterio Junior in a red hot opener.
<v Speaker 2>Here at Dragon gave a just an insane amount of
<v Speaker 2>offense in this match, and insane.
<v Speaker 1>That's where Ray Shine taking an human amount of punishment
<v Speaker 1>for his size disadvantage. And even if he lost in
<v Speaker 1>the end, you got to see this guy again. Yep,
<v Speaker 1>of course, tremendous stuff. We come to the corner cam
<v Speaker 1>and Sonny was cackling away and Ono says Malenko, get ready,
<v Speaker 1>you're next. There's replays of those. Replays of those w
<v Speaker 1>CW Cruiser eight matches were always great because as wild
<v Speaker 1>as the move was when you saw it the first time,
<v Speaker 1>when they could show it in slow motion super cool.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. I mean because you can
<v Speaker 2>actually see what's going on. You're like, oh, that's what
<v Speaker 2>you did, That's what I got from here to there.
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's like a blur engeans in the locker room.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes he is. He's ready to fucking hawk that hotline.

<v Speaker 1>They deserve all kinds of credit for being forward leaning
<v Speaker 1>on the Internet.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, totally.
<v Speaker 1>This hit the business wire on October ninth of that
<v Speaker 1>year for the first time in the World Wide Web.
<v Speaker 1>World Championship Wrestling brings exclusive live audio play by play
<v Speaker 1>to Internet wrestling fans around the globe on Sunday, October
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh at SLIMJIMWCW Halloween Havoc from the MGM Grand
<v Speaker 1>in Las Vegas, fans with computer speakers and real audio. Boss,

<v Speaker 1>we'll be able to listen live to the action packed
<v Speaker 1>blow by blow, thrills and spills of the Halloween Havock
<v Speaker 1>pay per view. Real audio software is available on the
<v Speaker 1>WW website always for never forget.
<v Speaker 2>WW.
<v Speaker 1>Wrestling dot Com was two w's, the one in CW
<v Speaker 1>and then Wrestling dot Com. Mark Maddenn, editor in chief
<v Speaker 1>of the Pittsburgh Penguin Hockey magazine, and Jeff Katz, the
<v Speaker 1>country's youngest wrestling expert. They say, here we'll deliver the
<v Speaker 1>action in common terry. Bringing live exclusive WCW audio play
<v Speaker 1>by play to our fans around the world is an
<v Speaker 1>exciting step in our interactive marketing, said Tom Hunt, WW
<v Speaker 1>interactive manager. We planned at exciting features to the WW website,
<v Speaker 1>which will include streaming images from the event in the
<v Speaker 1>near future. Yeah, they couldn't promise video, that's for sure.
<v Speaker 1>Streaming images that's well, okay, they were streaming imagery. They
<v Speaker 1>were pushing the limits.
<v Speaker 2>And there it is.
<v Speaker 1>By virtue of his presence, gene Oakland is back in WCW.
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to disappear after his contract lapses and
<v Speaker 1>factors what it said in The Observer, Geneoakerland is back
<v Speaker 1>on the nine hundred line. Since with the sleeves Master gone,
<v Speaker 1>hotline business dropped a ton, they had to bring him back.
<v Speaker 1>After all, Jeff Katz, who made the remark about robbing
<v Speaker 1>moved to midnight if the ratings don't improve, which resulted
<v Speaker 1>in more of those threatening letters to WW was dumped
<v Speaker 1>to bring Oakland back. So when we see Jeff Katz
<v Speaker 1>in the WCW position ww wrestling dot Com position, do no.
<v Speaker 1>Apparently there was an attempt made to have him replace
<v Speaker 1>Gene on the nine hundred line, and kids did not
<v Speaker 1>get their parents' permission, needless to say, at all.
<v Speaker 2>Not at all. Well, I'm I'm sure I have a
<v Speaker 2>funny feeling that that, you know, when you did get caught,
<v Speaker 2>you know, for for calling the hotline and spending about
<v Speaker 2>forty dollars, that you know, your parents might have been
<v Speaker 2>a little more forgiving if they saw that it was that, oh,
<v Speaker 2>that kind of charming old bald guy. Yeah, you think
<v Speaker 2>that made a difference. Yeah, I do think that made
<v Speaker 2>a difference. I think I think I think people might
<v Speaker 2>have been a little more forgiving of gene Oakerland. He
<v Speaker 2>had a history with, you know, and also I imagine
<v Speaker 2>parents at this point probably were familiar of him, familiar
<v Speaker 2>with him when he was you know, when they were
<v Speaker 2>when they were kids watching him with Hogan and stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Help help me.
<v Speaker 1>Remember WWF had a hot line at the time, but
<v Speaker 1>they weren't as notorious as w CW's Oakland was never
<v Speaker 1>the nine hundred line. Pitchman for WWF. I think, well, no,
<v Speaker 1>because you know he was.
<v Speaker 2>But before by the time he left, the ww Superstar
<v Speaker 2>line was not a regular thing, if I'm not mistaken.
<v Speaker 2>Back in the day, specifically, I remember the the you know,
<v Speaker 2>early nineties, they would have a special pay per view
<v Speaker 2>hot line, so you would call the WrestleMania hot Line,
<v Speaker 2>or you would call the Summer Slam hot like. They
<v Speaker 2>didn't have a regular hot line going through all the year.
<v Speaker 2>It was only it was only set up for each
<v Speaker 2>pay per view, and that I do remember. But I
<v Speaker 2>remember they they did eventually set up a superstar line,
<v Speaker 2>the Superstar line, but it was well after Jean had
<v Speaker 2>moved on to ww was and was you know, just
<v Speaker 2>you know, just plugging that like like his wife, I
<v Speaker 2>see fascinating. So at the time they were playing I say,
<v Speaker 2>his mistress, I should say, right to be more respectful.
<v Speaker 2>At the time they were playing up big.
<v Speaker 1>The DDP had get to declare his allegiance was he WCW,
<v Speaker 1>was he nWo, And they were beginning the pressure campaign
<v Speaker 1>to try to get him to make a decision. And
<v Speaker 1>then of course he has that legendary moment on Nitro
<v Speaker 1>where he diamond cuts Scott Hall and denies theo's overtores
<v Speaker 1>and he was on his way as a star. But
<v Speaker 1>that's still in the air. They're also doing the same
<v Speaker 1>thing with the Nasty Boys at the time.
<v Speaker 2>They're got a neutral. They're not WCW, they're not nWo.
<v Speaker 1>And although they would end up behind you know, they
<v Speaker 1>would always end up in the nWo locker room at times,
<v Speaker 1>but not curiously enough.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but they would never, you know, actually join the
<v Speaker 2>I wonder what would.
<v Speaker 1>Have happened if SAgs didn't, you know, exit stage left
<v Speaker 1>with that neck injury. If eventually the Nasties would have
<v Speaker 1>ended up in the nWo. I thought they were a
<v Speaker 1>good fit with the WW heritage and stuff. Sure, and
<v Speaker 1>you could be convinced theyd follow Hogan in there, but uh,
<v Speaker 1>never never to be here. In one of the Nitros
<v Speaker 1>before World War Three, Kevin Nash kind of puts us
<v Speaker 1>into the place they were at, teasing that diamond Dallas.
<v Speaker 2>He just got a big decision to make.
<v Speaker 1>And the outsiders, of course ddp's former buddies in WCW
<v Speaker 1>are really putting the pressure on. And you won't believe
<v Speaker 1>the reference Kevin Nash decides to make in explaining the situation.
<v Speaker 1>DDP finds himself.
<v Speaker 12>In you wait a minute, the nWo whatever, And they've
<v Speaker 12>been wreaking havoc everywhere. You'll notice, Gene, Whenever anything went down,
<v Speaker 12>DDP was nowhere to be found.
<v Speaker 7>And there's a reason for that. I let them do
<v Speaker 7>their thing and I do mine. And now the county
<v Speaker 7>of my time.
<v Speaker 6>Again, gentlemen, I think he has made it perfectly clear,
<v Speaker 6>and I don't want.
<v Speaker 7>To be bounced around here by the New World Order.
<v Speaker 7>He has made it.
<v Speaker 11>Perfectly clear he's not gonna go your direction.
<v Speaker 7>Yes, tell us, am, I am, I right on that.
<v Speaker 7>I didn't even hear what you said. Hey, you can't
<v Speaker 7>wake up call yet you're figuring it out? Huh, you
<v Speaker 7>get it? What you don't get it? You ain't one
<v Speaker 7>thing I got. I didn't appreciate that comment. Throwing in
<v Speaker 7>my space about bitch off last night last week. That's
<v Speaker 7>one thing i'd get.
<v Speaker 2>Here, comes.
<v Speaker 7>Don't you don't get it. He really doesn't get it.
<v Speaker 7>He don't know.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's the problem. I don't understand why
<v Speaker 2>we just don't take him out quick fast, in a
<v Speaker 2>hurry like we do all against friends. Poke, that's what
<v Speaker 2>we need to do.
<v Speaker 7>We need to take it easy. Kick guys, guys, wait
<v Speaker 7>a minute. Now, there's gonna be all know you know.
<v Speaker 4>You know, you know you know this.
<v Speaker 7>Psess, hey, you don't do no good for you.
<v Speaker 13>You don't know good for you from you. Stanley Kobrack
<v Speaker 13>two thousand space size. It's gonna be something very beautiful
<v Speaker 13>happened tonight.
<v Speaker 7>Very beautiful.
<v Speaker 14>All right, gentlemen, you know, I don't even know what
<v Speaker 14>the fuck the thing I got a quote from you?
<v Speaker 2>He says he just couldn't deliver these lines on nitro
<v Speaker 2>could he check? He was so pre occupied Stanley Kubrick,
<v Speaker 2>Like it's like ooh, like like I mean, listen, I'm
<v Speaker 2>not like like I guarantee you that number one. The
<v Speaker 2>majority of the fans never they don't know the fuck
<v Speaker 2>Stanley Kubrick. And that's why he's saying it, and that's
<v Speaker 2>why its thunds down and number two, those who do
<v Speaker 2>know Stanley Kubrick, I doubt know a specific line, or
<v Speaker 2>I would say that there are not many who would
<v Speaker 2>know a specific line from two thousand and one. They're
<v Speaker 2>more likely to say, you know, I could be wrong,
<v Speaker 2>but I would I would guess that they would be
<v Speaker 2>more familiar with the show in full metal jacket right
<v Speaker 2>then two thousand and one, and of course the ulto
<v Speaker 2>and irony would be two thousand and one would be
<v Speaker 2>a terrible year for wcw HI.
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, in fact, the end, so DDP steps in with
<v Speaker 1>Gino okralin that's actually very funny, and they said, there,
<v Speaker 1>that's very fucking yeah, it's not a it's not a
<v Speaker 1>it's not a date to be bringing up on a
<v Speaker 1>WW television show.
<v Speaker 2>In retrospect.
<v Speaker 1>DDP steps in with Gene. They were kind of recruiting
<v Speaker 1>the nWo. And last time I remember this much recruiting interest,
<v Speaker 1>Gene Okerland says, was at the University of Nebraska. Apparently
<v Speaker 1>ripped from the headlines, Gene Oakland read to the USA
<v Speaker 1>today in the hotel before the show, and we all
<v Speaker 1>have to sit here and listen to make references to it.
<v Speaker 2>Smoking, smoking a cigarette, having a bourbon so.
<v Speaker 1>At eleven am. DDP. First of all, everybody wants to
<v Speaker 1>get a hold of the best, the diamond Cutters, the
<v Speaker 1>hottest finish on the planet. Yeah, we don't call finishing
<v Speaker 1>moose finishes on TV.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, in nineteen ninety six. It's not cool. I
<v Speaker 2>mean it's not cool anyway. But I'm not here to
<v Speaker 2>talk about that. Oh well apparently you are, though, because
<v Speaker 2>you did well.
<v Speaker 1>Gene cuts in. He says, well, all the respect, you
<v Speaker 1>cannot skirt the nWo issue much longer. And DDP, he says,
<v Speaker 1>you're talking to Bischoff brother.
<v Speaker 2>You got it? Wait?
<v Speaker 4>What what?
<v Speaker 15>What?
<v Speaker 2>Who's who's talking about? Dallas? You're talking to Bishop Brother?
<v Speaker 1>Well, he is my next door neighbor, Terry.
<v Speaker 2>What do you my next door neighbor, dude?
<v Speaker 1>I mean he lives next door to me? What else?
<v Speaker 2>What I mean? What you tell me? What else? Would
<v Speaker 2>you mean? You'll bring it up now, dude, right, you're
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is?
<v Speaker 1>And you thought I could also say.
<v Speaker 2>What do you think what's going on? Dallas? Push? Mhmm.
<v Speaker 2>There you telling me, dude? What is this? The sixties?
<v Speaker 1>And Dallas is the Hottes Show?
<v Speaker 2>On TV again.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and there he is.
<v Speaker 2>Brother, you move in a bishop's neighborhood. Brother, what do
<v Speaker 2>you mean you court Inchoff? Dude? You're courting that easy?
<v Speaker 2>What's going on you? Uh?
<v Speaker 1>He says to DDP, You courton that easy.
<v Speaker 2>Because they were.
<v Speaker 1>Playing that up on TV. They were like dp's gonna
<v Speaker 1>join the nWo. He's neighbors with Bischoff. They didn't hesitate
<v Speaker 1>to bring it up.
<v Speaker 2>And it's true. Well you tell me, brother that d
<v Speaker 2>D pizzles working the easy easy? What's all dd pizzle
<v Speaker 2>easy shizzle is easy bizzle and d D Pizzle gonna
<v Speaker 2>take a jizsel on my fit? What you better stop
<v Speaker 2>that one short? When does Heather Clem come in? So
<v Speaker 2>DDP doesn't care. Actually, it'd be their way around. It
<v Speaker 2>would be Hull Cogan who came in. Oh my God
<v Speaker 2>help us, Heather Clem.
<v Speaker 1>DDP doesn't care what's happening in the world Eric Bischoff
<v Speaker 1>right now. Ddp's in a world of his own. You
<v Speaker 1>can say that again. It doesn't affect me. What's affecting
<v Speaker 1>Eric Bischoff right now? What does affect me, he says,
<v Speaker 1>is the sixty man Battle Royal. You know gene. It's
<v Speaker 1>not that long ago the DDP shocked the world by
<v Speaker 1>winning the Battle Bowl.
<v Speaker 7>Good God?
<v Speaker 1>Is there a problem when he says, good God? Am
<v Speaker 1>I the only one that basically wants to go to
<v Speaker 1>bed for the night when he.
<v Speaker 2>Says, listen, there's a lot of problems with DVP, all right,
<v Speaker 2>Like he's just you know, he's he's one of those
<v Speaker 2>guys that he he he thinks he's cooler than he
<v Speaker 2>actually is. It's not that he's not cool, but he's
<v Speaker 2>not as cool as he thinks he is. I appreciate DDP.
<v Speaker 2>I think I think he has There was a lot
<v Speaker 2>going for him, Yes, and he was interesting and I
<v Speaker 2>and I I appreciate completely and I respect his hustle.
<v Speaker 2>He fucking went from you know, the whole this whole career.
<v Speaker 2>I find him to be a fascinating individual because he
<v Speaker 2>really made a name for himself and made himself stand out.
<v Speaker 2>That being said, he's not nearly as cool as he
<v Speaker 2>thinks he is. But he says good God, it's like exactly, yeah, No,
<v Speaker 2>I say it with my head in my hands, you know. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>He says it with like a cocky look on his face.
<v Speaker 1>But he talked about how its Slambrino one thought I
<v Speaker 1>could do it, but me and I did it, and
<v Speaker 1>tonight in the sixty men Battle Royal, when all is
<v Speaker 1>said and done, there can only be one bang.
<v Speaker 2>So kind of a rough the battle battle Bowl like that,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the battle Bowl rosters diminished greatly every year
<v Speaker 2>they did it, Like it went from a twenty man
<v Speaker 2>Battle Royal to like what it was like a like
<v Speaker 2>a like an eight man battle something like that went
<v Speaker 2>that in ninety six it was something pathetic.
<v Speaker 1>It's like winn King of the Ring in twenty sixteen.
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like, well, right, when you fucking wrestle
<v Speaker 2>two matches, like everyone wrestles too matches. My mom wrestles
<v Speaker 2>too matches.
<v Speaker 1>Jean says, did he answer my question? I don't think so.
<v Speaker 4>No.
<v Speaker 1>Tony brands ddp evasive after that interview and we get
<v Speaker 1>the uh one arm tied behind his back graphic. You
<v Speaker 1>got that right, gentlemen, It's time for Nick Patrick, the referee,
<v Speaker 1>the evil referee who's engaged in all kinds of shady
<v Speaker 1>counts that appear to favor the nWo. Before they went
<v Speaker 1>full end with Nick Patrick.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there were there were eight guys in the fucking
<v Speaker 2>battle Bawl at Slambury ninety six. Yes, eight guys, an
<v Speaker 2>elite squad, no question. Yeah, oh yeah, so Nick Patrick
<v Speaker 2>and he's got his earl Robert Eaton and Dick Slater
<v Speaker 2>and Scott Norton and Johnny Grunge and Ice Train and
<v Speaker 2>the Barbarian and Diamond Dallas Page.
<v Speaker 1>See, I'm not sure no one thought he could do it.
<v Speaker 1>I actually would, I'd pause it everyone thought he could
<v Speaker 1>do it.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if if i'm if I'm looking at that
<v Speaker 2>fucking roster, He's the only one who can do that.
<v Speaker 2>Right if he didn't, fucking clowns, that would be a problem. Right,
<v Speaker 2>If he didn't do it, he should quit any problem
<v Speaker 2>with Nick Patrick out with a neck brace and a robe,
<v Speaker 2>with his fist tape and shades. Well, what I want
<v Speaker 2>to know first of all, is is he friends with
<v Speaker 2>Kenna Koboshi. Why would you say that he's wearing his robe,
<v Speaker 2>fucking black robe with the white trim there? Why is
<v Speaker 2>he worring wing Kobosha?
<v Speaker 1>At least a look on Nick Patrick's face isn't triggering
<v Speaker 1>to you that that's yeah.
<v Speaker 2>No, I'll tell you. I will say, you know, if
<v Speaker 2>there's anything that can salvage Nick Patrick. It's his face, such.
<v Speaker 1>A fucking scowling in the camera, trying to be menacing,
<v Speaker 1>and I just can't.
<v Speaker 2>Stand him at all. He's one of the most Like
<v Speaker 2>again another one. I don't know. I don't know what
<v Speaker 2>is what is actual? Uh you know, personalities, Like I
<v Speaker 2>really don't care. All I know is that he It's like,
<v Speaker 2>is like what are you doing? Man?
<v Speaker 7>Like why why?
<v Speaker 2>Like you're supposed to answer that question one of them,
<v Speaker 2>Like you're asking why he exists? Yeah, that's pretty much it,
<v Speaker 2>Like why you know he's he's on he's on par
<v Speaker 2>with Bagwell absolutely at this period, you know, like like
<v Speaker 2>it's just so fucking annoying, but not in a way.
<v Speaker 2>It's in a way like I just don't want to
<v Speaker 2>look at you, like, get off my fucking television, like
<v Speaker 2>you you're you're such a loser.
<v Speaker 1>Well, at least he's built like a wrestler.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh yeah right, but like he ate a wrestler.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'll tell you what. At least he's not
<v Speaker 2>wearing a mask like his dad and having his fucking
<v Speaker 2>skin ooze out of it.
<v Speaker 1>Looks like he's doing storage locker auctions. Yeah, bront of
<v Speaker 1>those guys. But here he is as the evil ref
<v Speaker 1>uh kind of colluding with w with lawyers and stuff
<v Speaker 1>to box in Chris Jericho into a one arm tied
<v Speaker 1>behind his back match. This apparently is the beginning of
<v Speaker 1>a Chris Jericho push, though you could could have fooled me,
<v Speaker 1>and Shavani makes reference to the fact that Nick Patrick
<v Speaker 1>actually did have a fleeting and ring career. Of course,
<v Speaker 1>being the son of the assassin Jody Hamilton, who was
<v Speaker 1>front office at WW at the time. Nick Patrick has
<v Speaker 1>a nice solid spot. Jericho comes out, and one redeeming
<v Speaker 1>quality is the theme music thing, King King King y Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>very nice.
<v Speaker 16>I do like that.
<v Speaker 2>It's very optimistic nineties babyfait yeah yeah he uh. And
<v Speaker 2>also you know if you looked out, you know I
<v Speaker 2>I took a look back at it, and they do
<v Speaker 2>do the U. As Jericho comes in, he starts with
<v Speaker 2>the jib arm and and dissolves into the the steady
<v Speaker 2>cam shot. That's it.
<v Speaker 1>We're watching, Craig, Are you listening, is the question.
<v Speaker 2>We're watching. We're watching your artistry.
<v Speaker 1>All at your boy. We're not hard to find with
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Long, apparently he is though, Man, I don't know
<v Speaker 1>what Teddy's on back then, but that is a massive head.
<v Speaker 1>His head is a quarter of the size these days.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Oh yeah, he got his hands on some
<v Speaker 1>good stuff. I mean, like, I mean not only his head,
<v Speaker 1>but like like we're talking, he's got no neck, no
<v Speaker 1>neck at all, and it's just it's it's it's head
<v Speaker 1>and chin. That's what he's got, yep, and a face
<v Speaker 1>in between. I'll tell you. When I look at Chris
<v Speaker 1>Jericho and Net ninety sixth, the first thing I think
<v Speaker 1>of is, why isn't Teddy Long managing this guy?
<v Speaker 2>That's what I thought. I was, like, you know that,
<v Speaker 2>that's that's the missing ingredient. Yes, is Teddy Long? Heenan
<v Speaker 2>says he can't convict a man until how much was
<v Speaker 2>he How much did he want to charge us to
<v Speaker 2>do an interview?
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he named a price. I think he
<v Speaker 1>just said to it cost you or something like that.
<v Speaker 1>It's like, okay, now I don't want to talk to
<v Speaker 1>you like like that much, Teddy respectfully. Yeah, that was
<v Speaker 1>before we had the cash for Carney's idea. Yeah, right,
<v Speaker 1>So I'm actually interested in how much it would it
<v Speaker 1>took but no, Heenen says he can't convict a man
<v Speaker 1>until he see some evidence, and Tony asks, thatever you
<v Speaker 1>ever listen to the replay? Listen to what you're saying?
<v Speaker 1>Heenan says, we don't have any proof of who's taking
<v Speaker 1>NWL money.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here, I got that one for you, because he's
<v Speaker 2>pretty funny.
<v Speaker 7>We we're not sure that Nick.
<v Speaker 5>Patrick is a memory in wo he's wearing my Oh,
<v Speaker 5>I haven't seen a paycheck.
<v Speaker 7>I haven't seen any real proof.
<v Speaker 17>Well I can't.
<v Speaker 7>I can't convict the man until.
<v Speaker 2>I see some evidence.
<v Speaker 6>You ever, you ever listened to any of the replays
<v Speaker 6>of these telecats, the uncore presentations? Yes, listening to this
<v Speaker 6>one when it when it comes your way, I know
<v Speaker 6>sometimes what you're saying, sometimes it looks that way.
<v Speaker 7>I will admit that. But we don't have any proof.
<v Speaker 10>It's a lap Don wrestling podcast, the wrestling podcast that
<v Speaker 10>knows the boys need their candy. It's the Lapsed Fan.
<v Speaker 10>He's the Lapsed Fan wrestling podcast with Jack and Carneo
<v Speaker 10>and JP sorow Awesome.
<v Speaker 2>I do appreciate is, like, you know, there there are
<v Speaker 2>some people he he doesn't want to believe our nw A.
<v Speaker 2>You know, it is funny that they're like, he's very
<v Speaker 2>defensive of certain people, even though like Teddy Law, I mean,
<v Speaker 2>Nick Patrick is like the worst when it comes to that,
<v Speaker 2>ohst blatant.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that was one thing about Heenen in the
<v Speaker 1>NBO era as money as it was as him, you know,
<v Speaker 1>casting his lot with WCW and despite the nWo being
<v Speaker 1>heels and him being a heel, just saying fuck this,
<v Speaker 1>this is too over the top. I'm with WCW. He
<v Speaker 1>did always kind of say things along the way that
<v Speaker 1>might lead you to believe that maybe he was on
<v Speaker 1>the take, like maybe maybe the WO could get to him. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>if he named his price, you know, maybe it already
<v Speaker 1>had happened and he's trying to overcompensate and deflect from
<v Speaker 1>that fact. I thought that was always an interesting thing too,
<v Speaker 1>That was that.
<v Speaker 2>Was pretty cool. I always appreciated that too.
<v Speaker 1>I hear a little bit of that and what he's saying,
<v Speaker 1>he about Nick Patrick. Referee Scott Dickinson is presiding trying
<v Speaker 1>to get Jericho tied behind his back one arm. At
<v Speaker 1>least they say Teddy Long's mouth got Jericho into this situation. Well,
<v Speaker 1>something got Jericho into the situation. Something Teddy put in
<v Speaker 1>his mouth.
<v Speaker 2>Well, usually it's the booker actually that gets the guy.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to be more accurate about it, I think Patrick says,
<v Speaker 1>somebody needs to take ask tending long where his towel is,
<v Speaker 1>because he's gonna need to throw in that towel. Nick
<v Speaker 1>is in a cutoff referee shirt.
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know what the fuck that means. What
<v Speaker 2>throw the towel when someone's getting beat up so bad?
<v Speaker 1>I get it, but like what an idiot? Well he's
<v Speaker 1>in a rough shirt with cut off sleeves. That's a
<v Speaker 1>good start.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, listen, listen what I'm what I'm seeing here is
<v Speaker 2>a perfectly acceptable individual when it comes to being in
<v Speaker 2>a wrestling ring, ready to work a match.
<v Speaker 1>Black pants and white boots, looking like Ron DeSantis in there,
<v Speaker 1>and they come to center talking trash. Nick Patrick shoves Jericho,
<v Speaker 1>Jericho shoves him down and responds. Nick Patrick steps forward
<v Speaker 1>and Jericho yangs out the leg and Nick Patrick takes
<v Speaker 1>a huge cartoonish bump. A lot of those here from
<v Speaker 1>Nick Patrick, and you know, well, that's what the that's
<v Speaker 1>what the match calls for. But he says, you hang on, mister,
<v Speaker 1>and then charges into a hip toss from Jericho, takes
<v Speaker 1>the bump and then powders does Nick Patrick. Tony notes
<v Speaker 1>how Nick Patrick's neck seems to be okay despite all
<v Speaker 1>of what's happening here. In his proclamations that he needs
<v Speaker 1>a neck brace, he would use the neck brace to
<v Speaker 1>sell why he couldn't slap three against the nWo. He'd
<v Speaker 1>hit one, two and they go, ah, that's funny.
<v Speaker 2>Fun I mean, like the he's as a referee, I
<v Speaker 2>didn't really haven't like. I enjoyed that. I mean, listen,
<v Speaker 2>he's obviously the most scandalous referee and he has very,
<v Speaker 2>very flimsy wrists, but I I didn't mind him. The
<v Speaker 2>the idea of an nWo referee I thought was very
<v Speaker 2>very cool. I liked that. I thought that was interesting,
<v Speaker 2>It was funny and it worked. It's just like, he's
<v Speaker 2>no business wrestling and in an nWo show, what's he
<v Speaker 2>gonna do? Go there and cheat on behalf of the nWo,
<v Speaker 2>even in the show where they can What if he's
<v Speaker 2>the fucking huh, you know, if if they did yeah, nWo, Nitro,
<v Speaker 2>what happens if he's the uh?
<v Speaker 1>If he's the referee, who's he going to count out
<v Speaker 1>right exactly? So it's uh, there's another dead end. But
<v Speaker 1>it works if he's in a WCW ring slightly favoring
<v Speaker 1>the nWo, which it appeared he did in Stark ninety
<v Speaker 1>seven as well.
<v Speaker 2>In the mean of it, that was.
<v Speaker 1>Neither here nor there.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I didn't tell anybody to do that, dude. I
<v Speaker 2>didn't say you did. Why would you. I didn't say
<v Speaker 2>you did what I didn't, Brother, I didn't do it.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't say Nick Patry. I didn't like, hey, brother, No, dude,
<v Speaker 2>you know I'm thinking what if? What if we can
<v Speaker 2>fuck around with sting?
<v Speaker 18>Dude?
<v Speaker 2>He just too a fast cout. I didn't say that.
<v Speaker 1>Were you worried about a sting push? What at the
<v Speaker 1>time were you worried about a sting push?
<v Speaker 16>Brother?
<v Speaker 2>You know, well, not listen.
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a yes or no question, mister Hogan,
<v Speaker 1>and all due respect, Well, brother, I just want to so,
<v Speaker 1>were you afraid of a sting push?
<v Speaker 2>Seah? Well, I want to trying to get at the
<v Speaker 2>bottom of dude. You know we're talking about you know,
<v Speaker 2>yes or no question? Brother, that's kind of the subjective thing.
<v Speaker 1>Can I rephrase my question? Then why instead of you
<v Speaker 1>were you worried about a sting push? I would ask
<v Speaker 1>you this, mister Hogan, are you worried about a stinging push?
<v Speaker 2>Hm? Should it be? Oh?
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking you if you are?
<v Speaker 2>I mean I brother, Oh, I'm asking you you know well,
<v Speaker 2>let me ask you that. What'm I ask you this?
<v Speaker 1>Brother?
<v Speaker 2>You'll wear a sting like right now? Worries?
<v Speaker 19>Oh?
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that's for sure about sting is nothing's
<v Speaker 2>for sure. What I'll see you later, mister Hogan. What
<v Speaker 2>do you mean nothing for sure? Dude? Interviews I'm for sure, dude. No,
<v Speaker 2>I'm over brother, I'm for sure. The chipion no, I'm
<v Speaker 2>over brother, Like I'm thinking of t. N. H.
<v Speaker 1>Hogan with the red on his face, like freaking out
<v Speaker 1>that there's been a plot hatched to get Hogan rolled
<v Speaker 1>up without his permission, sitting in the back like, oh God,
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, Dusty says, ain't nothing wrong with his neck.
<v Speaker 1>He's putting that whole thing down. As Nick Patrick goes
<v Speaker 1>to the other ring apron to byde his time, Jericho
<v Speaker 1>forces a Patrick sucks chan. He basically like screams at
<v Speaker 1>the crowd to say it please yes, please make it
<v Speaker 1>seem like this is a good idea. Tony says, it's
<v Speaker 1>a parent that Nick Patrick has been part of the
<v Speaker 1>nWo for a while, he's been on the take. Wonder
<v Speaker 1>would Jericho be safe tonight against Nick Patrick?
<v Speaker 15>For that?
<v Speaker 18>True?
<v Speaker 2>That's true. You had to wonder is Jericho safe when
<v Speaker 2>it comes to guys on the take.
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty funny. Jericho just uses one hand to lock
<v Speaker 1>on a hammer lock, and even with just one hand,
<v Speaker 1>Nick Patrick is wailing in agony.
<v Speaker 2>Is that the real sound? Do it again? Let's do
<v Speaker 2>it again. That's how you get things over in wrestling.
<v Speaker 2>It's a hammer lock. Okay, he's not stabbing him fucking house,
<v Speaker 2>fucking sound. Ever, he's screaming like it like.
<v Speaker 1>His assholes getting ripped out of one of those like
<v Speaker 1>suction things in the pool.
<v Speaker 2>You know, yes, crosh.
<v Speaker 7>Start just dumb fell a dream.
<v Speaker 2>In there, thanks Nick fucking hell screaming. He says he'd
<v Speaker 2>start pounding on that one good hand if he were
<v Speaker 2>wrestling Jericho. U.
<v Speaker 1>Jericho gets some kicks away and hits a spin kick
<v Speaker 1>with his hands tied, and Nick Patrick hits the mat
<v Speaker 1>and convulses. Convulses from the impact Jericho the hiptos. Patrick
<v Speaker 1>wolds out of the ring, Teddy Long talks him trash.
<v Speaker 1>Nick Patrick shoves him and Teddy returns to a pop.
<v Speaker 1>But it's kind of a weak shove, let's be honest.
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Heenan says, that's outside of interference, which is a
<v Speaker 1>good point. Heenan with his hand on his monitor, just
<v Speaker 1>in case things.
<v Speaker 2>Got out of hand. He's always ready. He is horrified
<v Speaker 2>that he could get injured.
<v Speaker 1>K Patrick, back in the ring, tries a right hand,
<v Speaker 1>but it's blocked and Jericho kicks away, even with one
<v Speaker 1>hand tied behind his back. Nick Patrick, though, lands a
<v Speaker 1>slap and Jericho answers and Nick Patrick Pratt falls once
<v Speaker 1>again and rolls out of the ring. Tony is suspicious
<v Speaker 1>on who exactly Bobby Heenon is cheering for in this
<v Speaker 1>match again, that suspicion that he could be on the
<v Speaker 1>take as well. Back then, Jericho, stomping the foot, drops
<v Speaker 1>Nick Patrick with a clothes line. He goes out after
<v Speaker 1>him on the floor and plants an elbow. Nick Patrick
<v Speaker 1>shoves him into a double post. Though, yeah, double post
<v Speaker 1>because it's where.
<v Speaker 2>Two rings meet. So you got more twos double post,
<v Speaker 2>You've been talking to you talking about now, dude, who's tappened?
<v Speaker 2>What has there been a booking meeting with that I
<v Speaker 2>wasn't involved in? I thought Sullivan was on my side. Brother,
<v Speaker 2>he knows like he's oak shows up to the building.
<v Speaker 1>It's like the twelve o'clock production meeting is just letting out,
<v Speaker 1>and he was told he is it one and he
<v Speaker 1>gets there for it fifteen minutes early, and everyone's like
<v Speaker 1>hustling out and they see him and they all like
<v Speaker 1>kind of look down, like, hey, hey, Terry, how you doing?
<v Speaker 1>And they all kind of like looked down away from
<v Speaker 1>him and like scurry into their respective corners of the
<v Speaker 1>arena and helps standing there like you gotta be shipping me?
<v Speaker 2>Brother?
<v Speaker 1>Who's going on in there?
<v Speaker 2>Who screwed me?
<v Speaker 18>Brother?
<v Speaker 2>Exactly what happened? Right?
<v Speaker 19>Yo?
<v Speaker 2>You said the meeting was at one o'clock. Brother, we're
<v Speaker 2>talking double cross. I just listen, brother, I'm not trying
<v Speaker 2>to look. I'm not trying to step on my mod
<v Speaker 2>toes all right, Dude? What I want I just want
<v Speaker 2>to get and get things back in line, Dude, I
<v Speaker 2>just want to understand what happened?
<v Speaker 3>Brother.
<v Speaker 2>You know, was there a time change or something like
<v Speaker 2>are you talking about you know, like you know day
<v Speaker 2>life saving time?
<v Speaker 15>Brother?
<v Speaker 2>Something happened my bad, dude? Like what's up? Dude?
<v Speaker 11>Why?
<v Speaker 19>Why?
<v Speaker 2>Brother?
<v Speaker 3>Are we you know?
<v Speaker 2>Why was meeting changed? How come Hulk Cogan wasn't notified
<v Speaker 2>about him?
<v Speaker 19>Brother?
<v Speaker 1>What would happen if I didn't happen to show up
<v Speaker 1>fifty minutes early? Because I'm always all the time, you know, brother,
<v Speaker 1>if I hadn't been here, Dude, I got here. Do
<v Speaker 1>you have another meeting and pretend that I'm that was
<v Speaker 1>the real one and not mentioned? Tell me like, are
<v Speaker 1>you taking the belt? We would never, Darry, We would never.
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, Yes, Patrick's able to shove Jericho into the
<v Speaker 1>pair of posts because two rings are meeting there. And
<v Speaker 1>then Jericho throws a punch. Nick Patrick ducks and swap.
<v Speaker 1>Jericho's good hand goes right into the post. And now
<v Speaker 1>it's time for Nick Patrick to throw some left handed
<v Speaker 1>jabs for our entertainment. Tony asks, Bobby are you on
<v Speaker 1>the take? Have you had a meeting with Eric Bischoff
<v Speaker 1>this week? Bobby says, yeah, I think this might be
<v Speaker 1>it and I might have this one.
<v Speaker 7>Maybe so much him know what happened to that man's
<v Speaker 7>right hand. Why don't you get out a talk to him?
<v Speaker 2>Brain?
<v Speaker 7>Are you on the take? I'm not on the take,
<v Speaker 7>are you?
<v Speaker 6>Are you leaning towards the nWo or you had a
<v Speaker 6>meeting with Eric Bischoff this week.
<v Speaker 2>I haven't had no meaning for anybody this week. Pry pride, Tony,
<v Speaker 2>You pride in front of a bitch? You want that
<v Speaker 2>in fun?
<v Speaker 9>Get that information out that candy motherfucker. He ain't telling
<v Speaker 9>the truth. He's talking taken daddy, He's taken.
<v Speaker 2>It all, baby from baby, he's on the take. He's
<v Speaker 2>on my take, like fucking monk, callaway, baby, unbelievable. And
<v Speaker 2>he says, by the way, or any week, by the way,
<v Speaker 2>and even if I did have a meeting, it's none
<v Speaker 2>of your business.
<v Speaker 7>It's it's right.
<v Speaker 1>So Nick Patrick with a snapmar and does the Kurt
<v Speaker 1>heading rolling. Next snap, I shit you not. He does
<v Speaker 1>the mister perfect front front flip. Next snap, Nick Patrick
<v Speaker 1>does this to the corner. Patrick lit him up with
<v Speaker 1>some punches, raises his arm to a chorus of boos,
<v Speaker 1>of course, and then goes into the camera and says
<v Speaker 1>he's a punk. Then he fights out of the corner
<v Speaker 1>with some right hands this Jericho one armed Irish whip
<v Speaker 1>is reversed. Jericho hits the buckle, gets his foot up
<v Speaker 1>and Nick Patrick collapses again upon impact. This guy bumps
<v Speaker 1>on every contact, every time he's touched.
<v Speaker 2>He's sore. Listen because he needs to take a breather
<v Speaker 2>every fucking moment. You know, he's gotta fucking lay on
<v Speaker 2>the ground and and and just fucking suck that wind.
<v Speaker 2>In that opening, Jericho drives Patrick under the corner over
<v Speaker 2>and over again. Dusty says, that will sure make your
<v Speaker 2>drowse eh whip with one arm and a backdrop. He
<v Speaker 2>manages to backdrop Nick Patrick with an arm tied behind
<v Speaker 2>his back. So does eating a bucket of fried chicken.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely hits a shoulder block. Another arm guides him up
<v Speaker 1>and over with a hip toss or a backdrop. Nick
<v Speaker 1>Patrick's in and out kicks Jericho on the way back in,
<v Speaker 1>and Patrick hits the ropes kind of does a forearm,
<v Speaker 1>kind of low just kind of lunges at him, and yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Jericho's on his knees. Dusty sys nick Patrick has seen
<v Speaker 1>every dirty trick.
<v Speaker 2>Some of it had to rub off.
<v Speaker 1>Nick Patrick goes up top Chris Jericho cuts him off,
<v Speaker 1>grabs him by the shirt, climbs to the bottom rope,
<v Speaker 1>and then it uses his one arm to pull Nick
<v Speaker 1>Patrick off the top for a front flip bump like
<v Speaker 1>a Rick Flair gorilla press deal, and then Jericho's able
<v Speaker 1>to land a super kick after Nick Patrick hits the
<v Speaker 1>canvas and stands up. Yeah, one, two and the three.
<v Speaker 1>Eight minutes, two seconds, Chris Jericho defeats Nick Patrick, yes,
<v Speaker 1>with one hand tied behind his back at World War
<v Speaker 1>three ninety six.
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I guess are you not entertained? I mean, listen,
<v Speaker 2>there's uh I'm happy that that Nick Patrick lost. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I'll take that.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Yes, we can take solace. And that one thing
<v Speaker 1>that's great about a Jericho match on any pay per
<v Speaker 1>view in particularly these early days, is he's got that
<v Speaker 1>book where he writes about everything, and he does have
<v Speaker 1>a couple of passages here about how uh, let's just
<v Speaker 1>say the Nick Patrick program that was put in front
<v Speaker 1>of him shortly upon his arrival in WCW in nineteen
<v Speaker 1>ninety six was not exactly what he would hoping for.
<v Speaker 18>It.
<v Speaker 2>Take it away, oh boy. After floating around with no
<v Speaker 2>direction for the first few months of my tenure. Sullivan
<v Speaker 2>told me that I was finally going to be put
<v Speaker 2>into a storyline that's tremendous, I said, with excitement, Who's
<v Speaker 2>going to be with Eddie Gurero, Rick Flair, Randy Savage,
<v Speaker 2>Nick Patrick? Nick Patrick? He replied, Nick Patrick was a referee.
<v Speaker 2>I'd worked all over the world to make it to
<v Speaker 2>the big time, and my first angle was going to
<v Speaker 2>be against a referee. How low can you go? It
<v Speaker 2>got worse when Sullivan told me that I was going
<v Speaker 2>to be managed in the feud by Teddy Long. Personally,
<v Speaker 2>Teddy was a great guy and a great performer, but
<v Speaker 2>the problem was at the time, Teddy's protegeates lost most
<v Speaker 2>of their matches. As soon as Sullivan aligned him with me,
<v Speaker 2>I knew I was screwed. I was battling a referee
<v Speaker 2>in a one arm tied behind my back match with
<v Speaker 2>Typhoid Teddy as my mentor. Sean Michaels never had it
<v Speaker 2>so good. Things fell apart during the match when the
<v Speaker 2>rope tying my arm behind my back came loose and
<v Speaker 2>I had to pretend it was still securely fast. That's
<v Speaker 2>a lot I didn't see that. That's really funny. It
<v Speaker 2>didn't matter anyway, as the announcers hardly commented on the
<v Speaker 2>bout they were too busy plugging the nWo. The social
<v Speaker 2>aspects of WCW were equally as disheartening. The locker room
<v Speaker 2>was infested with politics and clicks great title for a
<v Speaker 2>rap song, and the office gave special treatment to the
<v Speaker 2>powerful ones. Hogan and Savage had their own dressing rooms
<v Speaker 2>and didn't really talk to anybody else. Hal and Nash
<v Speaker 2>were in their own little unit and acted above everyone.
<v Speaker 2>Other guys like Scott Steiner, DDP, Paul White, and Booker
<v Speaker 2>T later became my friends, but within the WW environment
<v Speaker 2>they seemed uptight and defensive. Booker even balked at working
<v Speaker 2>with Dean Eddie and Me, complaining I ain't no cruiser weight,
<v Speaker 2>as if he would get leprosy from touching us. There
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a lot of cross pollination among the clicks. It
<v Speaker 2>was almost like regressing to high school, where you had
<v Speaker 2>to be careful about who you talked to and where
<v Speaker 2>you sat in the lunch room. Once I sat down
<v Speaker 2>in catering at Hogan's table and he looked at me
<v Speaker 2>like I just whipped him in the face with my
<v Speaker 2>jack Johnson. Maybe I should have. It would have been
<v Speaker 2>given him no choice but to talk to me. The
<v Speaker 2>booking of the matches worked the same way. The guys
<v Speaker 2>who made a certain amount of money worked almost exclusively
<v Speaker 2>with each other. There was a level that you were
<v Speaker 2>placed at or and it was rare to ever move
<v Speaker 2>to another level. It was like an Indian caste system.
<v Speaker 2>Whatever level you came in at was the level that
<v Speaker 2>you were destined to stay at. I came in at
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars, and that's where
<v Speaker 2>I would stay. I hardly ever worked with anyone who
<v Speaker 2>made let's say, seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, because
<v Speaker 2>they were worth more than me, and worked with the
<v Speaker 2>guys in their tax bracket. On the odd occasion that
<v Speaker 2>I did work with one of the big money guys,
<v Speaker 2>it was usually in a quick squash. In WCWA, seven
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty thousand dollars salary had to be justified
<v Speaker 2>with a seven hundred and fifty dollars push.
<v Speaker 1>Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars push.
<v Speaker 2>In sorry seven that's indeed.
<v Speaker 1>Life in WCW. According to Chris Jericho, great vantage point
<v Speaker 1>there and as much as he kind of boxed at
<v Speaker 1>the Nickpatrick program, Nick Patrick liked it, you better believe
<v Speaker 1>he did. Here he is recently talking with Chris van Vliet.
<v Speaker 15>The match with Chris Jericho where he had one hand
<v Speaker 15>tied behind his back. Oh, man, that was a blast.
<v Speaker 15>They came in and asked me if I wanted to
<v Speaker 15>do the match, and I said yeah.
<v Speaker 16>And I got to know Chris and I went to
<v Speaker 16>a concert with him and we talked, and he constructed
<v Speaker 16>the whole thing.
<v Speaker 15>Man. I knew from very early.
<v Speaker 16>On that he was going to be a big star
<v Speaker 16>as a matter of being in the right place at
<v Speaker 16>the right time and giving him a chance. But he
<v Speaker 16>come up with all of that, man, And the only
<v Speaker 16>thing I come up with was him slamming me off
<v Speaker 16>the top at the end to set up a kick,
<v Speaker 16>and and the rest was him And.
<v Speaker 7>It was so fun.
<v Speaker 16>I would I wasn't in shape either, man. I tried
<v Speaker 16>to start working out a little bit. They hit me
<v Speaker 16>with I said, okay, And back then I smoked cigarettes
<v Speaker 16>and stuff. I'm an idiot, right, but I smoked cigarettes
<v Speaker 16>and stuff back then, man, and I had man, I
<v Speaker 16>had to go out there. I got going thirteen minutes
<v Speaker 16>live with a kid like Jericho with a hand one
<v Speaker 16>hand tie behind his back. He got to go a
<v Speaker 16>little bit and I was taking hip tosses and stuff,
<v Speaker 16>you know, but I'd always bail out of the ring
<v Speaker 16>and regroup, catch my wind, you know.
<v Speaker 15>And then he and he was gracious man.
<v Speaker 16>He let me get some heat on him, and it
<v Speaker 16>let me do a couple of things to him to
<v Speaker 16>set up him beat me up in the.
<v Speaker 15>End, and it got a great reaction, man. And it's funny.
<v Speaker 16>We did a German tour at uh right after that happened,
<v Speaker 16>and for some reason, I guess they had trouble getting buses, so.
<v Speaker 15>They rented a bunch of cars and we had drivers
<v Speaker 15>for every car man, And it was so cool.
<v Speaker 16>Me and Booker T got in one car and they
<v Speaker 16>let us just have our own car and we let
<v Speaker 16>people pile their extra bags in there.
<v Speaker 2>It was me and Booker T and our driver man.
<v Speaker 16>And we went to all these different towns and it
<v Speaker 16>was fun. It was, hey, we're going to stop here,
<v Speaker 16>I said, where can we eat? Where was a good bar?
<v Speaker 2>It was?
<v Speaker 15>It was a lot of fun. So anyway, it was
<v Speaker 15>the last day of the tour. And we all kind
<v Speaker 15>of got to.
<v Speaker 16>Know our drivers a little bit, and everybody got to
<v Speaker 16>let their hair down and drink because they didn't we
<v Speaker 16>didn't have to go anywhere the last last night, you know,
<v Speaker 16>that show was over and we're in the bar, and
<v Speaker 16>all of a sudden, on the damn Sports Network on
<v Speaker 16>the bar, that match come on and we're.
<v Speaker 15>All in their hammer and getting drinking.
<v Speaker 16>Now, all these drivers of the cars, they're like, ah,
<v Speaker 16>they hadn't seen it yet, right.
<v Speaker 2>And man, those that whole bar went wild.
<v Speaker 16>Man, they were laughing at their butts off at me
<v Speaker 16>every time I'd make it one of my faces or
<v Speaker 16>I'd do something.
<v Speaker 15>I made a lot of my mean faces in that
<v Speaker 15>match that they popped for me, man.
<v Speaker 16>And at the end of it, they all gave me
<v Speaker 16>the round of applause at the end, and we all
<v Speaker 16>drank a beer to it.
<v Speaker 15>And it was really a cool experience, man. But the
<v Speaker 15>match itself was so much fun.
<v Speaker 16>And Chris is so good and so smooth, and like
<v Speaker 16>I said, I knew back then he was going to
<v Speaker 16>be a big star.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's easy to forget that. While it's cringe
<v Speaker 1>in the career of christ Jericho and his trajectory. It's
<v Speaker 1>like the greatest night in Nickpatrick's life, right.
<v Speaker 2>I mean details. He wanted to wrestle, right, he wanted
<v Speaker 2>to be in the ring, but he was just a
<v Speaker 2>he sucked, right.
<v Speaker 1>I guess I think he actually got hurt and it
<v Speaker 1>cut his innring career short and he transitioned into a
<v Speaker 1>refereeing if I remember correctly. Yeah, but yeah, he here
<v Speaker 1>remembers it very fondly. Jericho and his fourth book looked
<v Speaker 1>back on this one and called it a dead end
<v Speaker 1>push and a dead end angle. But Teddy and Nick
<v Speaker 1>were great guys and we did our best. So kind
<v Speaker 1>of softening his view several years later on this particular
<v Speaker 1>piece of business probably have to he realized how fondly
<v Speaker 1>Nick Patrick remembers it, as Tony says, you know about
<v Speaker 1>Jericho after this victory titles or down the road for
<v Speaker 1>this young man. Yes, And the problem is they would
<v Speaker 1>be in the WWE for the most part. So Tony
<v Speaker 1>and company now standing at ringside and they recall on
<v Speaker 1>Nitro that there was a police that were trying to
<v Speaker 1>restrain Roddy Piper and he was beating on them, and
<v Speaker 1>that Piper clearly means business and Dusty says, this is
<v Speaker 1>more than an WO or WCW have followed Roddy Piper
<v Speaker 1>since the first pair of kilts, since there were the
<v Speaker 1>first pair of kilts on Piper, which is not true.
<v Speaker 1>He did not follow him that long.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I also, you know, I don't think you
<v Speaker 2>wore a pair of kilts and it takes a long
<v Speaker 2>you wore a kilt. He then says a lot of
<v Speaker 2>words and then finishes where the big boys play, Yep,
<v Speaker 2>nothing wrong with that.
<v Speaker 10>Get a lap fan wrestling podcast, the wrestling podcast that
<v Speaker 10>knows the boys need their candy. It's the lapsed fan.
<v Speaker 10>He's a lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack and Carnassio
<v Speaker 10>and JP.
<v Speaker 9>What we're talking about We're talking about Watermelon Baby, We're
<v Speaker 9>talking about World War three.
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying Here we are once again
<v Speaker 2>nor Folk Arena. Baby.
<v Speaker 9>We're talking about out big time Daddy with a big
<v Speaker 9>Boys play and where we're talking about Hug Hogan ride
<v Speaker 9>at pipa Daddy.
<v Speaker 7>He's wearing a kilt. He's doing what he has to
<v Speaker 7>do to get in there.
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. He has to get in there.
<v Speaker 9>You have to get that contract signed, and thenby's gonna
<v Speaker 9>go and we all gonna watch it all.
<v Speaker 7>Baby, We're gonna watch it live as.
<v Speaker 9>We go, bounding bouncing around the arena, Daddy taking the
<v Speaker 9>scope with us as we go, and we going all
<v Speaker 9>around the globe, saying that's the way it's done, because
<v Speaker 9>wfi W is where we get things. We get what
<v Speaker 9>we need, Daddy, we get where we gonna go. Baby,
<v Speaker 9>we take it, we take it up, we take it down,
<v Speaker 9>we take it every which way, because that is what happens.
<v Speaker 9>That's what happening right now. Baby, we're talking nWo W
<v Speaker 9>fi W, and it's all gonna.
<v Speaker 2>Happen right before our very eyes almost dream.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.
<v Speaker 8>Well, you know I gotta I gotta reflect back on
<v Speaker 8>something even deeper that and you know I talked about
<v Speaker 8>it being more than the INWO or more than w
<v Speaker 8>CW brain.
<v Speaker 7>Let me tell you something.
<v Speaker 8>I have followed the career from the time the first
<v Speaker 8>pair of kilts or put on right a pipe up.
<v Speaker 7>You know he took. I believe he took a long
<v Speaker 7>road and a.
<v Speaker 8>Long way to come all the way back home, you
<v Speaker 8>know what I'm talking about. And I believe he is
<v Speaker 8>coming back home with this picking up fights with Hulkogan
<v Speaker 8>because this.
<v Speaker 7>Is worth all that. Make no mistake about it. This
<v Speaker 7>is really where the big boys play.
<v Speaker 2>I'll make a lot of mistakes about it.
<v Speaker 9>Make don't make no stick about it. And I said, no,
<v Speaker 9>made daddy with with a big boys play with himself.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, no shit, because that did sound a little mastabatory.
<v Speaker 2>But I said it before.
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it again. It's just a relief to see
<v Speaker 1>salad spilling out of Dusty's mouth for once, instead of
<v Speaker 1>page to bed.
<v Speaker 2>It's not going into his mouth, you know, like that's
<v Speaker 2>a problem he keeps coming out. Well, i'll take that.
<v Speaker 1>Over page three of the Long Horned Steakhouse menu. Susually
<v Speaker 1>what's in his mouth? Heenan says, Piper is the only
<v Speaker 1>man Hulk Cogn's never defeated, So they're building that up.
<v Speaker 2>Tony says, let's take you back to the website. As
<v Speaker 2>he goes website, he doesn't even know what the word means.
<v Speaker 2>And they give me a web thod daddy who's waking
<v Speaker 2>wetness And.
<v Speaker 1>There he is American mail buff Bagwell Marcus Alexander Bagwell
<v Speaker 1>is talking on a chat. You know, he's like dictating
<v Speaker 1>what he wants to.
<v Speaker 2>Say, dictating this rookie of the Year, Marcus Bagwell.
<v Speaker 1>You can see Jeff Katz with Disco Inferno and Mark
<v Speaker 1>Madden in the background talking it up. Disco always drawn
<v Speaker 1>to those webcasts. He always loved to put the headsets
<v Speaker 1>on back there.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Jean's now in the aisle and he says, I knew
<v Speaker 1>sooner or later you get to me, tony, gentlemen, he's
<v Speaker 1>on the shelf. He's not competing in the three ring
<v Speaker 1>battleroil tonight. However, he has sold this joint out on
<v Speaker 1>many occasions. He is the thirteen time world heavyweight champion
<v Speaker 1>nature Boy Rick Flair. And you better believe they had
<v Speaker 1>like that. I don't know what you'd call it, like
<v Speaker 1>the Vietnam War curtain fatigue things there. Yeah, yeah, you
<v Speaker 1>couldn't even see it until they showed Flair come out
<v Speaker 1>in a sling. He just had shoulder surgery the past
<v Speaker 1>week for real under doctor James Andrews, which he had
<v Speaker 1>postponed quite a bit. And and yes, Flair was not
<v Speaker 1>in Jeff Jarrett's corner for the match against Paul White
<v Speaker 1>on the show. The Giant hasn't been advertised so it's
<v Speaker 1>already getting a little weird, this whole flare Jeff jarted
<v Speaker 1>angle where Jarrett was kind of like an honorary horseman
<v Speaker 1>for a cup of coffee.
<v Speaker 2>And that was it right.
<v Speaker 1>It said he was going to corner Jeff Jarrett, acting
<v Speaker 1>like Jared's going to join the horseman with Flair endorsing.
<v Speaker 1>And here's a little taste from Nitro as to where
<v Speaker 1>the expectation came that Flair would actually corner Jeff Jarrett
<v Speaker 1>and actually, you know, join forces with him as opposed
<v Speaker 1>to show up World War three and have absolutely nothing
<v Speaker 1>to do with Jeff Jarrett.
<v Speaker 20>What on Monday night, it is here on Nitro tnt
<v Speaker 20>Rick Clair making a grand appearance at your side, Jeff Jarrett,
<v Speaker 20>as you prepare for this Sunday night in World War three,
<v Speaker 20>you know you've got the big one coming up with
<v Speaker 20>the Big Bang. You never got the chokeslamp from although
<v Speaker 20>at Halloween have it.
<v Speaker 21>That's exactly right, gee, and it's good to see you back.
<v Speaker 7>And this is exactly what.
<v Speaker 21>I'm doing talking about everybody putting their personal differences aside.
<v Speaker 7>And what I said for the last three weeks is
<v Speaker 7>we've got to unite.
<v Speaker 21>You've got the thirteen time world heavyweight champion. I'm talking
<v Speaker 21>about the man Rick Flair stating right here, and you've
<v Speaker 21>got the man who says what he's gonna do and
<v Speaker 21>he goes out and does it.
<v Speaker 7>Let's refresh some memories. If I can interrupt here, Jeff,
<v Speaker 7>and take a look.
<v Speaker 11>I want you to explain to me last week on
<v Speaker 11>this television program.
<v Speaker 7>Take a look at this. This was the biggest shock
<v Speaker 7>I've ever seen in my life. The four horsemen had
<v Speaker 7>their difference. Just put a sign and the.
<v Speaker 21>Clowns gotta walk down the ringside.
<v Speaker 7>Be first CDT. I could not believe that. Is there
<v Speaker 7>a dissension in WCW? Is there an ascension amongst the horsemen?
<v Speaker 21>Gene o' glynn, me and Gene. I'm not here out
<v Speaker 21>here to talk about discinsion. I'm tired here to talking
<v Speaker 21>about two guys uniting. I'm tired here to talk about

<v Speaker 7>I'm talking about WCW going to war.

<v Speaker 2>can there be five horsemen right? Such a fuck.
<v Speaker 1>He's all the way in, okay, brother, So back to
<v Speaker 1>World War three, Gene says to Ric Flair, I remember

<v Speaker 7>Mean Jean? Who we are in no Folk, Virginia and

<v Speaker 3>Of the event tonight is World War three, but in
<v Speaker 3>reality it's.
<v Speaker 7>W C W Hot Tour. Woo Now being caught up
<v Speaker 7>in the emotion of the.
<v Speaker 22>Moment, let me make it very clear that Hollywood.
<v Speaker 7>HAULK, Hogan and nWo are entitled to walk their own
<v Speaker 7>way in life. But when it comes down to wrestlers like.
<v Speaker 23>Rick Flair, Woo, arn Anderson, the Stinger, Wolkesluger, the Stagers,
<v Speaker 23>Begua MacMichael, the list is that list we represent w
<v Speaker 23>by God.
<v Speaker 7>Ce W thank you. It's about time somebody stepped up

<v Speaker 22>Even though the Nature Boy is temporarily he compacitated, I
<v Speaker 22>promise you, the wrestling public, that before it's all said
<v Speaker 22>it done, the Nation Boy hold on, hold on, wait.

<v Speaker 19>Has a little longer at thew will belong to wsc W.
<v Speaker 7>Thank you the response on me tonight. Thanks your part,
<v Speaker 7>m claire, one of my cod Oh my goodness.
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's how you rally the troops.
<v Speaker 2>But well, but Flare's no good as a babyface even
<v Speaker 2>against the nWo, not at all. He's awful. I'm being sarcastic. Oh,
<v Speaker 2>I see what you're saying, because he always talks about
<v Speaker 2>how he no good. He always says he's no good
<v Speaker 2>at babyface.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, listen to this.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean they can't help, but fucking roar
<v Speaker 2>for it. That's what needed to happen in response to
<v Speaker 2>the nWo. He knows what to do.
<v Speaker 1>He knows what to say in that promo. It's not like,
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's not like there weren't people in that
<v Speaker 1>company didn't know how to do. It's the thing, right,
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing right there. See, he is the proof
<v Speaker 1>in the puddings that the fans wanted, that they that
<v Speaker 1>although they would cheer and they would enjoy the nWo,
<v Speaker 1>they knew what they actually needed in the long And
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to hear that it was Norfolk. You know,
<v Speaker 1>that's an old No, it doesn't matter you can make
<v Speaker 1>every city want it, even though they love the nWo
<v Speaker 1>on the East coast and all in Chicago, I mean.
<v Speaker 2>Namely a city where Rick Flair is going to get booed.
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen ninety seven, opposing.
<v Speaker 1>Right, show me, show me a town Flair exactly because
<v Speaker 1>what they needed was someone who epitomized WCW to exactly
<v Speaker 1>see a WO, not just anybody exactly a WWD, someone
<v Speaker 1>who epitomized like a lose.
<v Speaker 2>You got to remember, you got to remember. What made
<v Speaker 2>it interesting was that if you're you're imagining, that is
<v Speaker 2>the WWE, right, And anyone who's a fan of WCW
<v Speaker 2>over the WWE doesn't want to see ww WI. It's
<v Speaker 2>just plain and fucking simple. But Flare's not a draw.
<v Speaker 2>Flair wasn't you know, a big star, etcetera.
<v Speaker 1>Gene says, the first one's on me to night, and
<v Speaker 1>Tony says, when with Flair in Oakland, it's not the
<v Speaker 1>first one you worry about, it's the last time, right,
<v Speaker 1>You're damn right. Tony saying, not a seat to be found.
<v Speaker 1>I think he means an empty seat, but I get
<v Speaker 1>what he means. There's plenty of seats to be found.
<v Speaker 1>I see, that's how all these people are sitting. We
<v Speaker 1>hear the nWo music now for the first time in
<v Speaker 1>the evening because here comes the giant, who, of course
<v Speaker 1>just joined the stable through the crowd because we're rebels.
<v Speaker 2>They would enter.
<v Speaker 1>They put a spotlight on the ring then and shaded
<v Speaker 1>the shaded the others on one ring. Oh pardon me, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>in the three ring scenario, and they would have singles matches,
<v Speaker 1>they'd put a spotlight on one ring and the others
<v Speaker 1>kind of obscure. Here comes Jeff Jarrett's music and.
<v Speaker 7>Plan on an.
<v Speaker 2>This w W music sticks in my head. I get
<v Speaker 2>asked the question, what about what appealed to Jeff Jared
<v Speaker 2>when it came to his fucking attires.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, the Venetian, the Venetian blinds as Conrad.
<v Speaker 2>Like, what did what about that? He said, you know what, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I want that's what I want. I want to bring
<v Speaker 2>in my I want to bring in my outfit. Bischoff.
<v Speaker 2>It's so awful. It never looked good. It looks like
<v Speaker 2>such a fucking goofy piece of ship. I would take
<v Speaker 2>an Aztec over that ship. Yeah, yeah, he ever brought that.
<v Speaker 1>Cost that'd be money, although or or why could he
<v Speaker 1>just not wear that top where the choker? That doesn't yeah,
<v Speaker 1>the choker.
<v Speaker 2>No, it's everything. It's also the fucking jailhouse. Look like,
<v Speaker 2>I don't get it. Is it offensive? It's a very
<v Speaker 2>offensive and it's inappropriate and it's not suited for children.
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to stand for it. Absolutely not. I'm
<v Speaker 2>gonna write some letters to Turner.
<v Speaker 1>Tony said, if Flaire had to relinquish the US.
<v Speaker 2>Title, what if someone wrote a letter to to Turner
<v Speaker 2>complaining about today? Sure today today? Like like fucking did
<v Speaker 2>it today? Because they watched they watched a World War
<v Speaker 2>three on the network. You know, we're where the fucking
<v Speaker 2>the company hasn't been owned by Turner in over twenty
<v Speaker 2>years again, well twenty five years, and I just want
<v Speaker 2>to say I saw this World War III show and
<v Speaker 2>I was deeply offended.
<v Speaker 1>Do you understand what videotape is him? It's how sad
<v Speaker 1>is it that? Like whatever dress you would have written
<v Speaker 1>to it's like, God, there's nothing there now, there's no
<v Speaker 1>one working there at the time I was coming with activity.
<v Speaker 2>And they also don't want people to know where the
<v Speaker 2>address is either. That's that's also the way in the
<v Speaker 2>in the Internet age. They don't want you to be
<v Speaker 2>able to contact them in person. They don't even want
<v Speaker 2>you to be able to content them on the phone.
<v Speaker 2>You must send an emails, you must.
<v Speaker 1>Tony explains that flairt had to relinquish the US title
<v Speaker 1>here that the Giant has due to the thirty day clause.
<v Speaker 1>He's no longer champion. So Jeff Jerreed comes out in
<v Speaker 1>the white suspenders like anyone cares some sparklers for him.
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, lay him uptight, Giant as he makes his
<v Speaker 1>way into the ring with his arms upraised. Jeff Jarrett
<v Speaker 1>versus the Giant here at World War and and Giant's
<v Speaker 1>got the w the US title. Yeah, but he doesn't
<v Speaker 1>really he never like took aossession of it. Well, I
<v Speaker 1>guess because Flair, I guess you didn't defend it in
<v Speaker 1>thirty days or something, right, Yep, because of the injury.
<v Speaker 1>So he's stripped of the title and they just just
<v Speaker 1>Giant took it.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>That was another belt, the nWo claimed. So Jarrett attacks
<v Speaker 1>and throws early Randy Anderson trying to stop him from
<v Speaker 1>getting this thing going. Before the bell sounds, the Giant
<v Speaker 1>shoves him off to a big pop. This crowd is like, no,
<v Speaker 1>we are not with Jeff Jarrett. We don't care what
<v Speaker 1>flag he's flying, we don't care if he's horseman.
<v Speaker 2>WCW.
<v Speaker 1>It's time for the nWo to kick this guy's ass
<v Speaker 1>because he's got a coffee shirt on.
<v Speaker 2>There's no like.
<v Speaker 7>Was there.
<v Speaker 2>Has there ever been any revelation as to what the
<v Speaker 2>the goal was with the Jarrett horseman thing, like where
<v Speaker 2>they were going to go with it.
<v Speaker 1>He's talked a lot about it. It's like a running
<v Speaker 1>joke on his podcast, but not really. No, I don't
<v Speaker 1>think they had I think it was open ended from
<v Speaker 1>the beginning. I'm sure at some point he was going
<v Speaker 1>to turn on them, and he kind of did. But
<v Speaker 1>joining the nWo, I don't think was ever the actual move.
<v Speaker 1>He's been a DECENTWO addition.
<v Speaker 2>H Well, he was, actually he was. But nWo two thousand,
<v Speaker 2>come on, don't forget what fuck it's true. Let's not forget.
<v Speaker 2>Never forget NW two thousand. The Silver and Black don't
<v Speaker 2>piss me alf, don't piss me off. So a wlf
<v Speaker 2>A go nuts.
<v Speaker 1>When he shoves Jared on his ass, Irish Wifts drops
<v Speaker 1>and Jared hit him with a uppercut.
<v Speaker 2>It's a weird thing too, Like what like Jared during
<v Speaker 2>this period, It's like he was he was a hot
<v Speaker 2>little thing in his early years and like up through
<v Speaker 2>the USWA and then his ninety three through ninety eight period,
<v Speaker 2>he's just a fucking joke. Like nobody likes him at all,
<v Speaker 2>and he's not awful, but he just sucks like he does,
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Like he does. He has
<v Speaker 2>good matches, like he's got that great one with Sean
<v Speaker 2>and in ninety five in your house, he's you know,
<v Speaker 2>he puts on some good some good stuff, but he
<v Speaker 2>just fucking sucks and he's just not interesting and he
<v Speaker 2>he's so boring.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, it's it's actually amazing that he stayed
<v Speaker 1>paid as long as he has in the business for
<v Speaker 1>that exactly. I mean in TNA, he was such a
<v Speaker 1>bore and TNA kind of grew with him as champion,
<v Speaker 1>it really did, even though people were kind of decrying
<v Speaker 1>that he had this iron grip on the belt and
<v Speaker 1>on the company and he's like, no one wants to
<v Speaker 1>see Jeff Yard as a world champion. I don't care
<v Speaker 1>what no, But now he's like, you know it, kind
<v Speaker 1>of whacks and winges even in aew he number now
<v Speaker 1>and then he'll cut a fiery promo where people just decide, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>this guy's an emblem of a bygone era. It's like, no,
<v Speaker 1>go back to whatever era you think he's emblematic of.
<v Speaker 1>And right, he was the fucking bottom of the barrel
<v Speaker 1>in the business in terms of white guys who could
<v Speaker 1>draw an audience.
<v Speaker 3>Like he was.
<v Speaker 1>He became interesting again ninety eight, and I mean because
<v Speaker 1>he hit the women over the head with guitars, right exactly,
<v Speaker 1>Let's see who is next, you know, in that in
<v Speaker 1>that litany, and that's where he's formed that bond with
<v Speaker 1>Vince Russo. And that's kind of a huge part of it,
<v Speaker 1>you know, really, is that he he made such a
<v Speaker 1>good bond with Russo that he was got a huge push,
<v Speaker 1>way outside push in WCW when Russo made the jump,
<v Speaker 1>and then further when he started TNA and brought Russo
<v Speaker 1>into book. I mean, Jared was the made man at
<v Speaker 1>that point as well, because he had the booker. And
<v Speaker 1>while there was a falling out in that relationship, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of miraculous, honestly, how long Jeff Jyard has
<v Speaker 1>stayed paid in the wrestling business despite never really doing
<v Speaker 1>things past a certain sort of ic US title level
<v Speaker 1>that felt.
<v Speaker 2>Appropriate, right.
<v Speaker 1>You know that world title reigns in WCW were all
<v Speaker 1>Russeau horrific and ken I remember half of it?
<v Speaker 2>You can, I mean, honestly, you can. You can. He
<v Speaker 2>didn't despite having four world title reigns in WCW, he
<v Speaker 2>held it like for like a month.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, totally, I know, because he had the David rcqette stuff.
<v Speaker 1>Everything was a mess. But here he is trying to
<v Speaker 1>make his first impact in the World Championship Wrestling after
<v Speaker 1>jumping from WWF, and they were on the other channel.
<v Speaker 1>They're they they're revealing that Jesse James saying with my
<v Speaker 1>baby tonight and trying to make road Dog draw. What
<v Speaker 1>an awful thing. That was their version of trying to
<v Speaker 1>pretend they didn't lose Jarrett the Nation Hall try to
<v Speaker 1>pretend we didn't lose him as come with the fake
<v Speaker 1>The real Double Jay was all the same time, and.
<v Speaker 2>That's what he was. The real Double Jerry.
<v Speaker 1>Cool Jared comes to the number cuts ducks a big
<v Speaker 1>swiping right hand by the Giant and now it's stick
<v Speaker 1>and move offense from double Jay. He dodges him in
<v Speaker 1>the corner, lands and rights, but Giant keeps walking him down.
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Jared been endorsed by Flair, Heenan says, and the
<v Speaker 1>man Flair says, can strut and walk that aisle and
<v Speaker 1>keep from getting choke slam. That's why he's been anointed
<v Speaker 1>the representative in this match up. Jeff Jarrett dodges him
<v Speaker 1>in the corner, hits some mounted pushes, punches on a
<v Speaker 1>Giant's head, but he's pushed backwards. Tony puts over Jeff Jared,
<v Speaker 1>who appreciates, He says, the roots and the tradition of
<v Speaker 1>what this sport has been. Giant shoves him off a
<v Speaker 1>couple more times and levels him with the clothesline and
<v Speaker 1>when he puts Jeff Jarrett fat flat on his back.
<v Speaker 1>When he puts Jeff Jarrett horizontal, the gods, the guys
<v Speaker 1>are popping in Norfolk.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they need it, they want it. They want to
<v Speaker 2>see him fucking get ripped upon too, especially by nWo. Tough.
<v Speaker 1>You know, yep, I don't remember the guy's being quite
<v Speaker 1>so pro nWo this early in the angle, but here
<v Speaker 1>it is ladies and gentlemen, if they were tearing into
<v Speaker 1>the right.
<v Speaker 2>Guy right exactly. It all depends on the guy that
<v Speaker 2>they were fucking ripping apart.
<v Speaker 1>Giant on the corner, charge misses and Jeff Jarret hits
<v Speaker 1>a flying clothesline from the corner and a dropkick gets
<v Speaker 1>ahead of steam and Giant lifts his foot and shoves
<v Speaker 1>him back mid air. Jarret takes off like he's gonna
<v Speaker 1>splash him, and Big Sure gets the foot up and
<v Speaker 1>he's so tall that he knocks Jarrett out of the.
<v Speaker 2>Sky with it. Good spot, Jesus Christ.
<v Speaker 1>Giants stomping away high scoop and slam.
<v Speaker 2>And Tony gives us an explanation as to the reason
<v Speaker 2>that Giant join nWo, which you know gets Dusty going.
<v Speaker 6>You know, many people wonder why the Giant made the
<v Speaker 6>turn that he made with the nWo. Look at him
<v Speaker 6>stopping Jeff Jarrett. If you will, Hollywood Haul Coogan promised
<v Speaker 6>a giant if he made that turn, he made that movie,
<v Speaker 6>he would get parts and movies.
<v Speaker 8>Very simplic root, Yeah boy, what a pal slam that is, Tonik,
<v Speaker 8>can you hit it right on the head. Speculation and
<v Speaker 8>and not taking a situation. Honeywood, Hulk Ogan has so
<v Speaker 8>much power. He is the biggest star in any in
<v Speaker 8>the street. He is not only a last love. He
<v Speaker 8>is He's been on all the big things. He's a
<v Speaker 8>movie star. And he's off of these guys moving parts.
<v Speaker 8>He's off of these guys pass to drive his car.
<v Speaker 7>He's off these.
<v Speaker 8>Guys instead of work, you know what I mean. And
<v Speaker 8>he's gathered a bunch of them like a covey quail.
<v Speaker 8>And if you want, he won't gather brought it Papa
<v Speaker 8>into his covet is cubby.
<v Speaker 1>I do like that that he's putting everyone on payroll,
<v Speaker 1>you know. That's that's something I mean. Yeah, I'm okay
<v Speaker 1>with that huge elbow drop with great height.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, For those wondering, Jeff Jarrett, his combined
<v Speaker 2>four title rings, four w CW world title reigns totaled
<v Speaker 2>fifty eight days. Wow, fifty eight.
<v Speaker 1>It's a legacy right there. Yeah, huge elbow drop up
<v Speaker 1>with a big height by the giant. He used to
<v Speaker 1>get up quite a bit back in those days. They're
<v Speaker 1>talking about the movies and steady work. Tony actually mentions
<v Speaker 1>Arnold and Jingle all the way, says he has a
<v Speaker 1>part of that, yep, And he and says DEBIASI has
<v Speaker 1>a lot to do with that, his money making all
<v Speaker 1>these opportunities possible. So they're keeping that alive.
<v Speaker 2>Debia is the one paying off Schwarzenegger.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, that'd be a funny skit if they'd get Arnold
<v Speaker 1>to agree to it. A palm's greased by a hidden camera.
<v Speaker 2>You can I see one of those, right, the hidden camera, right,
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, you know, ah, I'll come back to
<v Speaker 2>Hanov and sure, right, fantastic it's great. Oh yes, fantastic
<v Speaker 2>is great. Yeah, I'll put the big show in the movie.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of speaking of which, the giant slapping Jeff Jared
<v Speaker 1>around corner whip Jeff Jared takes the buckling hard ust.
<v Speaker 1>He's talking about how they had Eric Bischoff with the
<v Speaker 1>power at the top all this time and we didn't know.
<v Speaker 1>So it's a very unsettling feeling in the booth as
<v Speaker 1>the crowd now rising to their feet and pointing up.
<v Speaker 1>What are they pointing at? It's got to be sting,
<v Speaker 1>They're all pointing, And there he is, traversing the catwalks
<v Speaker 1>high above the Norfolk Scope and violation of Union rules
<v Speaker 1>and he looks off.
<v Speaker 2>Oh totally listen. He is in a lot of trouble.
<v Speaker 1>A Sting look awesome up there or what? Yes, he
<v Speaker 1>does activating a space of the arena that wrestling companies
<v Speaker 1>never did so cool. You can see the roof of
<v Speaker 1>the scope. Giant whips Jeff Jyard in and drops him
<v Speaker 1>with a big boot. Tony says, is he leaving?
<v Speaker 2>Is leaving?
<v Speaker 1>We understand?
<v Speaker 2>Okay, not sure.
<v Speaker 1>Giant drops the leg after hitting the big boot. I
<v Speaker 1>swear to god he does the fucking Hogan finish. We
<v Speaker 1>see the spotlight now is on Staying and he's descending
<v Speaker 1>behind some kind of wall like he kind of he
<v Speaker 1>doesn't fall from the ceiling on a repel line. He
<v Speaker 1>kind of just like disappears behind this little wall on
<v Speaker 1>one side of the scope with apparently a staircase on it.
<v Speaker 1>And there's another pop as we see Sting making his
<v Speaker 1>way down through the people and they're keeping a wide
<v Speaker 1>shot here. Giant with a backbreaker he and says we
<v Speaker 1>will know the answer very shortly. Is Sting nWo or WCW.
<v Speaker 1>Giant misses a Vader bomb off the middle ropes, but
<v Speaker 1>of course no one's watching the ring, Sting's coming in.
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Jarrett climbs and hits a cross body block for
<v Speaker 1>two on the Giant, and there he is Stinger with
<v Speaker 1>a single black line running down each eye, and Giant
<v Speaker 1>lunges and misses and goes over the top to the floor.
<v Speaker 1>Sting gets in the ring with the trench coat to
<v Speaker 1>a pop. He grabs Jeff Jarrett by the hair and
<v Speaker 1>reverse DDT's them and they explode. They explode because it's
<v Speaker 1>fucking They think it's the moment. Yes, they think Sting
<v Speaker 1>has decleared his allegiance to the nWo.
<v Speaker 2>YEP, but no. Dusty even explodes and says Sting is
<v Speaker 2>with the nWo.
<v Speaker 7>You bet he is.
<v Speaker 1>That man has bad intentions, and Heenan says they have
<v Speaker 1>brought the devil out of Sting. He's making no move
<v Speaker 1>though towards the Giant, so they're you know, reading into that,
<v Speaker 1>of course. But Sting then bounces. He doesn't celebrate with
<v Speaker 1>the Giant, he doesn't hug him, he doesn't put an
<v Speaker 1>WO shirt on. He just leaves yep, as they call
<v Speaker 1>him a tormented soul. Giant then gets in, snatches Jeff
<v Speaker 1>Jarrett by the throat and they explode as he lifts
<v Speaker 1>Jarrett with the delay and dumps them with a devastating
<v Speaker 1>choke slam one, two and three. The Giant defeats Jeff
<v Speaker 1>Jarrett six minutes and five seconds here at World War three.
<v Speaker 1>This was the second time that sting hat attacked Jeff
<v Speaker 1>Jarrett and picked him as his target. Tony Schiavanni notes
<v Speaker 1>and also mentioned that we have Sting sightings every time
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Jarrett is wrestled, So apparently there's something about Jeff
<v Speaker 1>Jarrett that's triggering to Sting Giants looks into the camera
<v Speaker 1>says one down, two to go. I did like when
<v Speaker 1>they talked to the corner cameras after their matches like
<v Speaker 1>that in WCW. You know, they like sauntered over to
<v Speaker 1>the corner and had a few words. I thought that
<v Speaker 1>was always pretty effective.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>And then Heenen calls Giant the biggest man in pro sports.
<v Speaker 1>So that's pretty it's pretty hot, you know, hot angle.
<v Speaker 1>It's like, where's Sting going. It's it's still kind of open.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we ever got an explanation of what
<v Speaker 1>problem he had with Jeff Jarrett. I don't know if
<v Speaker 1>that was supposed to go somewhere, but I don't.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I always gathered that it was never It didn't
<v Speaker 2>matter who it was, like, he just was. He was
<v Speaker 2>just angry with people who didn't trust him right and
<v Speaker 2>everyone as he honestly, Yeah, everyone was guilty of not
<v Speaker 2>putting their faith in him and believing that he could
<v Speaker 2>be swayed by the end. Next thing we hear, it's
<v Speaker 2>the music of rowdy Roddy Piper. There we go, as
<v Speaker 2>they say, under the big top dust. He says, it's showtime,
<v Speaker 2>Enen says, or let's get out of here. Here comes Piper.
<v Speaker 1>He steps out in the classic look with the black
<v Speaker 1>leather coat, a shirt that says no fear in the
<v Speaker 1>hot rod lettering, and a piece of paper in his
<v Speaker 1>hand with a serious look. There's a table set up
<v Speaker 1>in the ring like a ceremonial table, and there's photographers
<v Speaker 1>in there shooting away. Dave Penzer is at the table.
<v Speaker 1>He didn't calls him a pelican in a suit, and
<v Speaker 1>Heenan says Piper may just be a bigger movie star
<v Speaker 1>than Hogan, and they they leaned into that a little
<v Speaker 1>bit their respective Hollywood careers. Like Piper was the one
<v Speaker 1>guy who could challenge Hogan on that front.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>True, so he says, obviously, there's no sense in waiting.
<v Speaker 1>I got the contract. Get out here, Hogan. The w
<v Speaker 1>music hits. I don't know if it was Voodoo Child
<v Speaker 1>on the original broadcast, but it's the nWo music on Peacock.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he had brought in Voodoo Child yet.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know when it started, but I thought that
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't wasn't it after? Was it later? But he
<v Speaker 2>did that now?
<v Speaker 1>He was still in ANWO when he did it, for sure? Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>oh really Yeah. Bischeff comes out with the jeans and
<v Speaker 1>leather jacket, Debiastian Virgil or with him and the giant
<v Speaker 1>as well, and Tony puts it well, he says, this
<v Speaker 1>is our boss.
<v Speaker 2>Look at this guy. Yep, this was like that.
<v Speaker 1>One of the first times they really laid eyes on
<v Speaker 1>NW Eric Bischoff here at World War three, and they
<v Speaker 1>talk about Ted being the money and Virgil being the bodyguard,
<v Speaker 1>and Tony says, I never thought I'd see Eric Bischoff
<v Speaker 1>and Vince walk down the same aisle together. You know
<v Speaker 1>why he did that, That's why they named him Vincent.
<v Speaker 1>And Tony enjoyed that pun classic Bischoff with his Kendall
<v Speaker 1>face back then camera ready, was that son of a bitch?
<v Speaker 2>Camera ready? Yes? Oh yes, come on. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty keeps saying we're under the big Top, and it's like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>we know, it's a circus. Why do you keep emphasizing it.
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden, Eric gets in the ring with
<v Speaker 1>a mic in his back pocket, and Tony says, everyone's
<v Speaker 1>got a mic tonight. Eric grabs the mic and says,
<v Speaker 1>you believe this, mister Piper. I thought i'd let you
<v Speaker 1>know that Hollywood's a little busy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah here, I got this. I think I've got this.
<v Speaker 2>I got the I don't know where it starts, but
<v Speaker 2>I got the whole fucking thing. Get it all right.
<v Speaker 7>I thought i'd let you know that, uh, Hollow is
<v Speaker 7>a little busy. Got a couple of scripts just arrived.
<v Speaker 7>He's back taking a look at him.
<v Speaker 4>He did, however, earlier today give me his power of attorney.
<v Speaker 7>It's a business thing, you know, Oh my goodness, it's
<v Speaker 7>an nw O thing, brother, So.
<v Speaker 4>I'm happy to take a look at whatever contract you have,
<v Speaker 4>and by the power invested in me, I'd be happy
<v Speaker 4>to sign for mister Hogan to it meets out requirements.
<v Speaker 3>First of all, I taught you how to fight, so
<v Speaker 3>get out of my way.
<v Speaker 2>Talking to Virgil there, I love so good. I love
<v Speaker 2>that touch fucking money and he singles out verr like
<v Speaker 2>I know, like I didn't.
<v Speaker 1>Don't don't act like I didn't notice how fucking pathetic
<v Speaker 1>you are. After all I did for you to liberate
<v Speaker 1>you from this piece of ship that you went right,
<v Speaker 1>so good you mother fry Piper fucking ad libbing you know.
<v Speaker 1>Oh we never went anywhere. It's not like they feuded

<v Speaker 3>Second of all, you any monster look alike, you know,
<v Speaker 3>come be on, wanna bey never could be you know
<v Speaker 3>what you are.
<v Speaker 7>You're one of the new kids on the plot, and
<v Speaker 7>you're lost from the blot brother because you're right, you
<v Speaker 7>all and absolute.
<v Speaker 3>Power corrupts absolutely. You're gonna try to say to me
<v Speaker 3>that you have power for Holgan. That's great, that's wonderful.
<v Speaker 7>I taught you on a fight. Yes, Piper's up and
<v Speaker 7>I'm here now.
<v Speaker 3>I ain't finished, and I do know you're there, Gibi
<v Speaker 3>AUSSI twenty eight years I've been doing this and not
<v Speaker 3>once have I had my hair primped, and not once
<v Speaker 3>have I had my nails done. You want to take
<v Speaker 3>over the wc W, the nw AL, I could care less.
<v Speaker 3>But do you think that I'm gonna trust the lion
<v Speaker 3>little flake day, wonderful human being like yourself. Tell me
<v Speaker 3>something else to get that crack on that lip? Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>you know something. You know why I can wear this
<v Speaker 3>because I'm down tough enough to That's why.
<v Speaker 4>That's right, that's right, easy, piper, Okay, I can fine
<v Speaker 4>you for that.
<v Speaker 2>Tell me tell me something.
<v Speaker 3>How much would it cost me by fine for me
<v Speaker 3>just to knock your ass out?
<v Speaker 7>I can't. I got the money.
<v Speaker 3>Just give me an approximate ten thousand.
<v Speaker 7>More than you've got.
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you what this is going nowhere. I'll tell
<v Speaker 3>you something. Votes I'm tired of the bologneas this is
<v Speaker 3>the way it's gonna be. You're gonna pay for view
<v Speaker 3>Nashville the twenty nine. I fight, Oh, thank you very much.
<v Speaker 3>It took me above to memorize that.
<v Speaker 7>I will fight.
<v Speaker 3>Holgan.
<v Speaker 2>Get your hands off that right, so good, you're so ready,
<v Speaker 2>you're so ready to fight, you know.
<v Speaker 3>Yea fight, Holgan. But I'm gonna tell you this.
<v Speaker 7>I could care less whether the.
<v Speaker 3>Nw AL is down there, which means, now, if you mess.
<v Speaker 7>With me, no way out.
<v Speaker 3>I don't care If I get knocked out and the
<v Speaker 3>referee catches these gigs, what you're gonna do. You're gonna
<v Speaker 3>revive me and the fight is gonna go on. I'm
<v Speaker 3>not going for no tityus. I'm not going for no
<v Speaker 3>sneaking out. I ain't going for runnings away. I'm going
<v Speaker 3>for the fight of the century and who the icon is.
<v Speaker 3>So if I take this fight and you got the
<v Speaker 3>balls to get holding down here, then this fight will
<v Speaker 3>end the twenty nine, regardless.
<v Speaker 7>Of the nWo.
<v Speaker 3>Now you your little puke, get out of here.
<v Speaker 7>Halgan, you coward, come on down. I don't think so. Piper,
<v Speaker 7>I don't think so.
<v Speaker 2>His cottage number so, Bischoff says, I don't think so.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so, and then Hogan aggressively comes out
<v Speaker 2>like what the f there's some across signals here, But
<v Speaker 2>isn't Piper phenomenal here? Oh? He is on fight. He
<v Speaker 2>is absolutely point yep yep, he gets it. He's just
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's funny seeing you know, it's it's really
<v Speaker 2>amazing seeing Piper here versus heel Piper in eighty five,
<v Speaker 2>who just like makes no sense.
<v Speaker 1>I know you tell yeah, there's less cocaine, but no,
<v Speaker 1>he knows exactly the direction he came in, knowing exactly
<v Speaker 1>what the story is to get the Hogan match.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, yeah, yeah, it it's something. It's really crazy here
<v Speaker 2>we go.
<v Speaker 7>It's like, I don't think. I don't think you want that?
<v Speaker 7>Are we gonna have the sunny? You don't think I
<v Speaker 7>could see your knees hackings. You asked for it, you
<v Speaker 7>got it. Now he comes to us to move. You
<v Speaker 7>just tug your own dream.
<v Speaker 6>Roddie Ronnie Piper at number three to one now Hogan ron.
<v Speaker 7>Giant, Miss Elizabeth.
<v Speaker 5>Wait, notice that Piper is still standing in the ring
<v Speaker 5>and he hasn't moved.
<v Speaker 7>He's watching everything that's gone. Oh God, and for Piper
<v Speaker 7>nothing me right now. It's very dangerous.
<v Speaker 5>He should think and use his head. He can't beat
<v Speaker 5>them all now. He didn't all come out here a lot.
<v Speaker 5>Somebody signed their name.
<v Speaker 8>Uh, Pipe ain't going nowhere, He ain't running from nobody.
<v Speaker 8>This is as big as a gift. Baz button it down.
<v Speaker 7>And everyone here at the Piper, you got a problem.
<v Speaker 3>Now, I've always had problems, but that's never stopping cat
<v Speaker 3>your butt in the ring.
<v Speaker 7>Sign the contract and quit talking.
<v Speaker 2>I also love how Hogan's mic was always blown out. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>you know, for some reason, his mic was never ever
<v Speaker 2>like the ceties are always so he's really blatty and
<v Speaker 2>just something so awes it's such a no, that's such
<v Speaker 2>a Hollywood Hogan thing. Yeah, it only happened with him.
<v Speaker 2>Nobody else had that issue.
<v Speaker 7>That's the best way to put it. Now, apparently he
<v Speaker 7>is going to get in the ring here now.
<v Speaker 6>Piper talked about the event in Nashville on the twenty nine.
<v Speaker 24>That would be starcade. Piper, to me, what's outnumbered very
<v Speaker 24>very badly?
<v Speaker 19>You know something, Piper, Oh yeah, big man, I'm gonna
<v Speaker 19>sign it right. Like I said, you got a real
<v Speaker 19>big problem, my friend. You know, I'm used to dealing
<v Speaker 19>with individuals that are my equal. I'm used to dealing
<v Speaker 19>with people in the ring that are number one contenders.
<v Speaker 19>I'm used to dealing with people that are up to
<v Speaker 19>my speed. And oh, yes, man, I'm gonna sign that contract.
<v Speaker 19>But I just want everybody in here to realize that
<v Speaker 19>when you were my equal ten years ago.
<v Speaker 7>You couldn't get it done.
<v Speaker 19>And now my friend sends your mister self righteous, mister
<v Speaker 19>up it up, mister big man, who's gonna straighten out
<v Speaker 19>the whole world?
<v Speaker 7>Show him the hip?
<v Speaker 2>What's the big deal of he had hip surgery? Like
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he had had hip surgery before the Hollywood backlock brawl,
<v Speaker 1>and you know, pretty much kept its secret and they
<v Speaker 1>never mentioned it. So it's always like the nWo had
<v Speaker 1>this like trump card on him. They knew about the surgery,
<v Speaker 1>and they knew he had the weakness that he was
<v Speaker 1>trying to hide, and that's what this whole angles about.
<v Speaker 1>They show the scar from the hip surgery, and it's
<v Speaker 1>like this Achilles feels weird. It's just a weird It's
<v Speaker 1>a weird thing. I mean, also making Piper look like
<v Speaker 1>a like an eighty year o old man. It does,
<v Speaker 1>But I think I agree it does. But I think
<v Speaker 1>it kind of works here because it kind of you know,
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to be able to move like he
<v Speaker 1>used to anyway, you know, so to try to portray
<v Speaker 1>him is as good as he ever was, I think
<v Speaker 1>might might lead to a letdown. But I'll let him
<v Speaker 1>come into starcade with kind of like a like a
<v Speaker 1>justified reason to not look that that spry, you know,
<v Speaker 1>and that fleet of foot and there's a hot angle. No,
<v Speaker 1>they had the scar there. Yeah, it's still good. I
<v Speaker 1>mean it's good. It's just like it just it always
<v Speaker 1>seems kind of weird to me. I don't know why
<v Speaker 1>it feels weird, but it feels. It is funny. They
<v Speaker 1>pretend it just happened, like the surgery. It could just
<v Speaker 1>get out from surgery.
<v Speaker 7>All right, here we go, Yeah, show him the hip, Piper,
<v Speaker 7>what does he mean here? Get that camera over here.
<v Speaker 7>Wait a minute. I want the whole world to see this.
<v Speaker 2>This gets a little clumps off that hip. Yep.
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.
<v Speaker 7>Boy. You're a straight up dude, aren't you. You're really
<v Speaker 7>on the money, aren't you?
<v Speaker 2>A honey? What is he talking about?
<v Speaker 19>Let me show the whole world what I've been talking about, Piper.
<v Speaker 7>Showing the hip? Wow?
<v Speaker 18>Huh?
<v Speaker 7>That scar? How about that red? Hey?
<v Speaker 19>You know something, I don't usually pick on tripples. I
<v Speaker 19>don't usually pick on people that are like pig like
<v Speaker 19>fat world seems to like you, my friend, And since
<v Speaker 19>the whole world wants to see the war that didn't
<v Speaker 19>end the score. Oh yes, my man, it's gonna be
<v Speaker 19>my pleasure to sign this contract.
<v Speaker 7>There it is. Let me tell you, Piper now that
<v Speaker 7>I'll sign that contract.
<v Speaker 19>You, my friend, are not good have I don't like
<v Speaker 19>to stand on because I can't wait to be up
<v Speaker 19>a gimp.
<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go. Get after him.
<v Speaker 7>He's going after holdan get after him.
<v Speaker 19>He is.
<v Speaker 7>Sorely out number here.
<v Speaker 8>Well, he picked it, like I said, he's in there
<v Speaker 8>with him now. Hogan gets a whopping on him.
<v Speaker 3>And he knew what they spect getting in that ring.
<v Speaker 7>NWL wasn't gonna leave them alone. They don't want him healthy.
<v Speaker 7>After he signed his name in that contract. They can't
<v Speaker 7>hurt him now, they.
<v Speaker 10>Won't hold him.
<v Speaker 2>He breaks free and he's biting and lungeing. Yep, yep.
<v Speaker 8>He needs to get on him right down, got you
<v Speaker 8>you know, like you said, he's out.
<v Speaker 2>Numbered and he gets restrained again, and then Scott Hall
<v Speaker 2>puts him in an abdominal stretch, revealing the hip injury.
<v Speaker 1>The hip scar.
<v Speaker 7>Showing that scar there, you can see it. Hogan is
<v Speaker 7>going to get a chair. Oh man, he can't be
<v Speaker 7>doing this. Man, fop him. He can't do this.
<v Speaker 21>He's a hip surgery and Hogan's gonna clipple the man.
<v Speaker 7>That's what he's doing. What a bad scar that is?
<v Speaker 7>Right down? Good? No, no, my goodness.
<v Speaker 6>The question is now it's been signed, But could Piper compete?
<v Speaker 19>Why?
<v Speaker 7>I'll tell you what. That's a lot of pain right down. Unbelievable.
<v Speaker 7>Look at the size of that scar, that operation. What
<v Speaker 7>they're going on to lead again?
<v Speaker 19>What is he?
<v Speaker 7>Holgen's got a can of Oh, it appears.
<v Speaker 4>That our children.
<v Speaker 7>Infamous can of black spray paint.
<v Speaker 3>Hogan's got it NWL letters on the legs.
<v Speaker 7>What this is a sick inside right here?
<v Speaker 2>I gain to you. I just say he eats piper?
<v Speaker 1>Was that you just say he eats melts?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, of course, nothing wrong with that.
<v Speaker 7>I'm gonna break you in half. You peace a crowd
<v Speaker 7>an absolute disgusting scene.
<v Speaker 2>That's all I can say.
<v Speaker 5>Eric Bischoff grinning from here to the air hood tb
<v Speaker 5>Hosie grinning, Nash grinning and look at rowdy roddy Piper
<v Speaker 5>spray painted at NWR.
<v Speaker 7>Look he's still trying to pull himself up, holding said
<v Speaker 7>somebody left and get up, Roddy. You got to get him,
<v Speaker 7>get up to he's gonna get up. You gotta get
<v Speaker 7>up right here.
<v Speaker 14>Let's go.
<v Speaker 7>Pull yourself up, pull your step up, get in the
<v Speaker 7>middle of it.
<v Speaker 8>He can't stand, he can't stand with that leg. I
<v Speaker 8>take this the other way around. I guarantee you right in,
<v Speaker 8>Piper will be fit for this thing. He's taking his
<v Speaker 8>jacket off. He wants to fight right now. He don't
<v Speaker 8>care about a leg. He don't care if there's twenty
<v Speaker 8>five man. Yep, Piper cannot stand on that leg.
<v Speaker 5>Hogan took that steel chair and just waffled him, waffled.
<v Speaker 7>Him in that hip.
<v Speaker 6>Our contract has been signed, Yes, it's been signed for
<v Speaker 6>apparently for December twenty ninth at Starcade. But the question
<v Speaker 6>remains the condition of Piper. He's got a little bit
<v Speaker 6>over a month to get ready for that match.
<v Speaker 15>Wait a minute, he th.
<v Speaker 7>Natshville, Tennessee. If that's the press, you can do your
<v Speaker 7>trouble that.
<v Speaker 6>There's no rate tray, no sir, And yes, yes, the
<v Speaker 6>eyes on that man right there, rowdy, Roddy, Piper certainly
<v Speaker 6>has an uphill battle.
<v Speaker 5>And I'll guarantee you he'll crawl over broken glass and
<v Speaker 5>nails all the way.
<v Speaker 7>From here to Nashville. If it takes him a month
<v Speaker 7>with a bad hip or too bad, he take getting
<v Speaker 7>his hands on that man right there. Yeah, I'll tell
<v Speaker 7>you how. Yeah. When you lay it out to it,
<v Speaker 7>it is very simple.
<v Speaker 8>When you look at this scene unfold in front of us,
<v Speaker 8>the bottom line walls right at.
<v Speaker 7>Papa picked this fight. He went into the den of
<v Speaker 7>the nWo.
<v Speaker 8>He stood there, he made the climb up, the sign
<v Speaker 8>in his un that to the citreat, the decade, the empathy.
<v Speaker 7>On whatever you call it.
<v Speaker 24>The fight of all fights, The fight of all fights.
<v Speaker 7>Has been signed.
<v Speaker 5>Piper says he's been in this sport over twenty eight years.
<v Speaker 5>He's ot over six thousand fights. He started out at fifteen,
<v Speaker 5>fighting in the garage. Look at the intensity of that
<v Speaker 5>man's eyes right there. He's not thinking about anything from
<v Speaker 5>the past. All he's thinking about right now is to
<v Speaker 5>get his hands on a.
<v Speaker 7>High ho Hogan. Look at the eyes on Rowdy.
<v Speaker 15>Rowdy.
<v Speaker 7>Piper yellows they clean the ring here, and Piper makes
<v Speaker 7>his way back.
<v Speaker 1>He limbs up the aisle holding his jacket.
<v Speaker 2>Respect that we've voice had for Roddy and then he
<v Speaker 2>drops down to his knee even more so now yeah
<v Speaker 2>in the aisle, because you.
<v Speaker 8>Know what I mean, you have a pick a fight
<v Speaker 8>when you were a kid and go in a big
<v Speaker 8>gang and you want to hit it.
<v Speaker 7>And that's what was going on right here, and we've
<v Speaker 7>seen it. It's his five, it's his thing.
<v Speaker 8>It's between him and Ogan goes beyond the n W
<v Speaker 8>and w CW and de'skri weber Seine Boys.
<v Speaker 5>He's picking up speed, he's getting a little something in
<v Speaker 5>his step.
<v Speaker 6>And as much as respect as we have for Piper
<v Speaker 6>and the contract has now been signed, certainly we lose
<v Speaker 6>respect minute by minute, day by day for not only
<v Speaker 6>Hogan in the nWo, but.
<v Speaker 7>Now Eric Bischoff and the scene that they pulled.
<v Speaker 10>Here's the Wraps band wrestling podcast, the wrestling podcast that
<v Speaker 10>knows the boys need their candy. It's the Lapsed Fan.
<v Speaker 10>He's a Lapsed Fan wrestling podcast with Jack and carn
<v Speaker 10>Seo and JP Sorrow.
<v Speaker 1>Tremendous piece of business.
<v Speaker 2>Oh it really was.
<v Speaker 1>It really was the Piper's best work.
<v Speaker 2>In some ways. It probably should have closed the show.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you think so, you know, because it's such a
<v Speaker 2>hot angle that you probably could have done it after
<v Speaker 2>the stupid Battle Royal.
<v Speaker 1>Interesting choice to do it on pay per view and
<v Speaker 1>not on Nitro, and so many more people are watching.
<v Speaker 1>They replayed it in its entirety as mentioned the next night,
<v Speaker 1>so it wasn't like no one saw it, but I
<v Speaker 1>thought it was kind of cool.
<v Speaker 2>We're probably trying to get people to buy it. Probably
<v Speaker 2>was the key reason to buy the show. It's probably
<v Speaker 2>to get paid too, of course.
<v Speaker 1>Because he has the minimum pay per view dates and
<v Speaker 1>this is a way to get him on the show
<v Speaker 1>without having to convince him to work. So there he
<v Speaker 1>has Piper doing the classic limp up the aisleway and
<v Speaker 1>collapsing every so many steps and just keeps fighting through.
<v Speaker 1>It's just great stuff, it really is. So as we
<v Speaker 1>transition from that, we get a bit about Canada, meaning
<v Speaker 1>with the classic I can't wait to see what's gonna happen.
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow on Nitro and what's going to happen tomorrow on Nitro. Yep,
<v Speaker 2>there comes our Jacques from the Quebecer's with the Quebec
<v Speaker 2>flag pco of course, with the maple leafs. It is
<v Speaker 2>the Quebecers.
<v Speaker 1>It is the Quebecers known as the French Canadians at
<v Speaker 1>the time, WSW making a push to get more clearance
<v Speaker 1>in Canadian television markets and arenas. They even put Jacqurajau
<v Speaker 1>over Hulkogan in Montreal Ones with an Inside Cradle and
<v Speaker 1>a Faus match Insane ninety seven. The Colonel Robert Parker
<v Speaker 1>dressed like I don't know what he's dressed like. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that's I mean, it's like a Legionaire
<v Speaker 1>or something. He's saying, Viva la Quebec, Viva la Canada.
<v Speaker 2>It's it's it's very bizarre.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, absolutely, Bobby says. Colonel told me he's going to
<v Speaker 1>find a place to live in Quebec. I said where
<v Speaker 1>he's at the South. So there's heat. Sherry comes out
<v Speaker 1>leading the charge for the Harlem Heat. Booker t Fitton
<v Speaker 1>hurt somebody, as he says into the cameras, the flames
<v Speaker 1>go off. OG's fitt and hurt somebody. He says, Colonel,
<v Speaker 1>we're fitting to hit hurt you sucka Colonel, you don't
<v Speaker 1>know what you got into. Of course, Colonel Parker, being
<v Speaker 1>a Harlem Heat's original managers, now original manager. Now on
<v Speaker 1>the other side, that's true. Of course, there's tape on
<v Speaker 1>the bridge of the nose of Booker t in case
<v Speaker 1>you forgot what era of this is. Right, Tony says,
<v Speaker 1>who knows what's going to clear that nasal pass?
<v Speaker 19>Right?
<v Speaker 1>Tony says, who knows? What's the head for WCW at
<v Speaker 1>the end of this year and focused into ninetennety seven?
<v Speaker 2>What do you here?
<v Speaker 1>Ninety seven would be? Man, just think of all the
<v Speaker 1>things they're setting up, sting, what's happening on the other channel. God,
<v Speaker 1>what time to be alive and watching wrestling every week.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's it's a.
<v Speaker 15>You just.
<v Speaker 2>You know, people don't really understand, you know. You look
<v Speaker 2>at kind of today's stuff and you see like the
<v Speaker 2>the Triple H regime taking over, and it's exciting for
<v Speaker 2>those you know, because like, but it still is not.
<v Speaker 2>The business hasn't changed. It's the same thing, ye Like,
<v Speaker 2>at least to me, it feels the same as it
<v Speaker 2>did in like twenty ten, and.
<v Speaker 1>In ninety six and ninety seven it felt different, but
<v Speaker 1>it felt it was so different, like there was such
<v Speaker 1>a drastic change. Palpable, Yeah, yeah, I mean it was
<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't overnight, but it was.
<v Speaker 2>It was such a change in tone, a change in
<v Speaker 2>the delivery of the shows. And if you didn't watch
<v Speaker 2>prior to that, and you know, I'm not saying I watched, obviously,
<v Speaker 2>I didn't watch in eighty five. I wasn't there for
<v Speaker 2>the rock and wrestling connection, but I was there early
<v Speaker 2>enough to understand that what was that it needed to
<v Speaker 2>change yep. And you kind of sat there thinking it's
<v Speaker 2>never going to change, but then when it did, it was.
<v Speaker 2>It was addicting. It really was addicting television. That's it.
<v Speaker 2>That is the word.
<v Speaker 1>And Heenan says he's got a scoop the pipers in
<v Speaker 1>the back, refusing medical attention as a matter of fact,
<v Speaker 1>as Jock grabs the mind and Dusty's talking over him
<v Speaker 1>and pay some respect for the greatest country in the world,
<v Speaker 1>and Tony says, well, it's time to butcher the Canadian
<v Speaker 1>national anthem, and they do it.
<v Speaker 2>They do.
<v Speaker 1>Booker ex on the booing crowd.
<v Speaker 2>And Heenan, you know, Heenan, it's awful, but he didn't
<v Speaker 2>defend them as he would do.
<v Speaker 7>They're proud of their country, yes they are. Dougan sings
<v Speaker 7>it doesn't says something to him. Yeah, but if they're
<v Speaker 7>proud of their country, they need to learn the words. Well,
<v Speaker 7>they're singing it in.
<v Speaker 2>In Quebec.
<v Speaker 7>Is that now a language? No? I meant everyone in
<v Speaker 7>Quebec is singing when they sing fin Lauren as well.
<v Speaker 7>Couldn't get himself out of that, one could intoe? No,
<v Speaker 7>he backed into a common that turned the wrong way
<v Speaker 7>and run into it and no.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what a thing to behold the French Canadians in
<v Speaker 1>the ring and those three guys issuing barbs. Sherry's voice
<v Speaker 1>is incredibly raspy. I mean, my god, know what.
<v Speaker 2>That could be. I mean we're talking, you know, God
<v Speaker 2>knows years of screaming and yelling at the top of
<v Speaker 2>her lungs. You know it's gonna it's gonna affect you.
<v Speaker 1>I don't heat versus French Canadians. Here at World War three,
<v Speaker 1>Shock and Booker get started. Dusty uh says, there's a
<v Speaker 1>lot of talking tonight, a lot of filibuster in Tony
<v Speaker 1>says what drives the NBA is eager and power plays.
<v Speaker 1>And he then says, there's so many guys in the
<v Speaker 1>end to be able with the same kind of ego.
<v Speaker 1>I don't see how they can coexist, and he would
<v Speaker 1>be right about that, and long math he would be right, yep, yep,
<v Speaker 1>Jock and Booker to lock up. Dusty said, you beat Hogan,
<v Speaker 1>you you start you If you beat Hogan, you can
<v Speaker 1>start to cease to exist nWo. So that's that's the
<v Speaker 1>big thing they're acting like. If Piper can beat Hogan
<v Speaker 1>then to be able to fall apart from there, Heenan
<v Speaker 1>says he's had the hog at the trough and broke
<v Speaker 1>it down. So Dusty understands, okay, oh, he says, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Hogan is the hog at the trough headlog push off,
<v Speaker 1>tackle down goes Jacques u Jau, who keeps up and
<v Speaker 1>does a drop kick that levels Booker t who keeps
<v Speaker 1>up as well. Dusty said, everyone can relate to the
<v Speaker 1>trough line. Bobby doesn't object to that. This is this
<v Speaker 1>is a great example of like talking about the nWo
<v Speaker 1>over the match in its entirety, which you know, they said,
<v Speaker 1>a really hot angle. So I actually sometimes miss that.
<v Speaker 1>I actually sometimes miss announcers that can't get off what
<v Speaker 1>we just saw, even if there's something else in the ring.
<v Speaker 2>I hate when they think that it's important. That's important,
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, I'm sorry, I hate to to to.
<v Speaker 18>You know.
<v Speaker 2>You know, obviously it's it's these people's time to shine
<v Speaker 2>and get in the ring. But at the same time,
<v Speaker 2>not many people care about Harlem heat versus the French Canadian.
<v Speaker 1>Something's got to be going on on TV while they
<v Speaker 1>get over how substantial well I was, it might have
<v Speaker 1>to be your match.
<v Speaker 2>I agree, and I think I think that that. I
<v Speaker 2>think it's important. I think it it Also it was
<v Speaker 2>a huge.
<v Speaker 1>Part of the nWo be as successful as it was
<v Speaker 1>that they were always talking about it on commentary.
<v Speaker 2>But even wwe did it and the time, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was it was there were always there
<v Speaker 2>was always a through line. There wasn't It wasn't a
<v Speaker 2>segmented show as it is now where it's like you
<v Speaker 2>have your moment and then it's gone, like you you
<v Speaker 2>really don't talk about the important things. And I'm and
<v Speaker 2>you know what, the main event program for the next
<v Speaker 2>pay per view should always be talked about over matches,
<v Speaker 2>you know, it should always be talking to.
<v Speaker 1>These guys and they need to follow the story right
<v Speaker 1>then you have to you have to prioritize, not everybody
<v Speaker 1>on the card is equal. That's the name of the game,
<v Speaker 1>especially when you know there's this existential threat in the air.
<v Speaker 1>It's not like they're talking about a main event program
<v Speaker 1>without the component of a takeover. Like it's a takeover, right,
<v Speaker 1>it's all anyone's thinking about.
<v Speaker 2>Right, So, great stuff. And even but even then, I
<v Speaker 2>think that I think it's important to talk about the
<v Speaker 2>main event of the upcoming pay per view at any.
<v Speaker 1>Moment, even when the the principles aren't on the screen.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because it makes it subconsciously makes the audience feel
<v Speaker 2>like what they're watching is important or what the main
<v Speaker 2>program is is importantness, you know, And and that's that's
<v Speaker 2>a huge thing on a pedestal thing.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Double Whip Double areat Down, goes Chakrajeu Stevie with
<v Speaker 1>the one arm slam on show whipping a duck and
<v Speaker 1>Jock ra Joe hits a flying back elbow and Stevie
<v Speaker 1>Ray stumbles and PCO cuts him down with a closed line.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty says the traditional route the Piper took to come
<v Speaker 1>home that you know, he keeps trying to basically say, like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>he's in WWFL those years, but he was in Crockett
<v Speaker 1>before that, and he's actually coming home here right right,
<v Speaker 1>heeps trying to make that point.
<v Speaker 2>He just kind of fails to do it.
<v Speaker 1>Stevie Ray comes in with the high backsuplex that dumbst
<v Speaker 1>PCO on his melon bicycle kick gets too for Stevie Ray.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty says, Holk cocin. Once upon a time came for
<v Speaker 1>that tradition. He just forgot who brought him to the dance.
<v Speaker 1>Whatever the fuck that means. Booker, he gets in. It's
<v Speaker 1>a snapmarre and a knee drop on Pco. We're told
<v Speaker 1>that Colonel Parker's on that. Then our recent edition at
<v Speaker 1>WCW Saturday Night had told us about being suited up
<v Speaker 1>for war, and that explains the thing.
<v Speaker 7>I never been for war.
<v Speaker 2>It's the get up.
<v Speaker 7>I'm not a warrior. I'm I just sit here and
<v Speaker 7>make it just what I do is I come out
<v Speaker 7>support things that maybe I support.
<v Speaker 1>Always a good prelude to a lapsed character.
<v Speaker 2>I just sit hereever you hear Booker t hotshots PCO.
<v Speaker 2>That is true, it is true, or I'm just sitting.
<v Speaker 2>I'm just sitting. Here's another one.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, oh my god, you know you know heat is
<v Speaker 1>in coming at that point. Well, speaking of wedge show,
<v Speaker 1>comes Stevie Ray with a big elbow drop.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, that mayor.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty's trying to remember his Abisco saying that Colonel Parker
<v Speaker 1>had legionaires, but he couldn't remember the name of the disease.
<v Speaker 1>He said he had the legion disease. Yes, Booker do
<v Speaker 1>The next kick levels PCO actually in the back of
<v Speaker 1>the neck that time. Tony says, we get a little
<v Speaker 1>bit of that time from Shravanni.
<v Speaker 2>Looks like a warm tag this TV Ray to keep.
<v Speaker 2>Definitely not a hot tag, definitely not so. PCO pokes
<v Speaker 2>the eyes.
<v Speaker 1>HiT's a slam. It's his an elbow drop. Book missus
<v Speaker 1>an elbow But does the spinner Rooney to a vertical
<v Speaker 1>base before that had a name and Harlem sidekick takes
<v Speaker 1>out PCO. So yeah, that was weird. It was like,
<v Speaker 1>it's not the move he did to just like, you know,
<v Speaker 1>celebrate having control of the match. It's something he did
<v Speaker 1>to recover from missing an elbow drop.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah here, yeah, that's fine.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty calls it the Harlem shuffle. So before it was
<v Speaker 1>the Spinner Rooney, it was the hot shuffle.
<v Speaker 2>Let's just start calling it that from now on, Jars,
<v Speaker 2>anytime we see that happen, it's the Harlem shuffle, yes,
<v Speaker 2>because he's definitely shuffling when he rolls around on the
<v Speaker 2>fucking take a shuffle to me round, yeap Chaquajou is
<v Speaker 2>supposed to low bridge, but Booker doesn't go over too well.
<v Speaker 2>But they hit the floor anyway, and Colonel Parker, with
<v Speaker 2>his long black boots, gets some big kicks in and
<v Speaker 2>he says, I don't like it here as it gets heated.
<v Speaker 2>At ringside, he's nervous again and helping caught in crossfire,
<v Speaker 2>Dusty says, Sherry's a beaten on that thing, which I
<v Speaker 2>guess means on Jacques Roujeau combo clothesline, and maybe he's
<v Speaker 2>maybe she's beaten Jacques Graujau off.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I was gonna say, Colonel Parker's probably beatn that thing,
<v Speaker 1>is what's happened.
<v Speaker 2>That's true.
<v Speaker 1>Combo clothesline and backfoot sweep by the Canadians, very nicely done.
<v Speaker 1>Then Joqua Joe, with a whipping of a double boot,
<v Speaker 1>yangs down Booker t and slams Pco onto Booker, slamming
<v Speaker 1>his own partners.
<v Speaker 2>They used to do. Yeah, yeah, that's good. I always
<v Speaker 2>like that.
<v Speaker 1>It'd gets too double wit double hot shot by the
<v Speaker 1>Canadians PCO.
<v Speaker 2>With Coilette, Well, Carl Coilette, that's.
<v Speaker 1>Right, well pronounced PCO. An Irish whip. Book leaps into
<v Speaker 1>a schoolboy right over pco's leg. For one backup. PCO
<v Speaker 1>turns book absolutely inside out with a closed line. Booger
<v Speaker 1>T always ready to show up and do that inside
<v Speaker 1>out three sixty cellm lariat. Oh yeah if his specialties.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty says, Serenes have been heard in the back. Not sirens.
<v Speaker 1>He says, Serene Serenes. Yeah, they you'd say, Eileen, right.
<v Speaker 1>PCO goes to the middle rope and drops the leg
<v Speaker 1>while Booker T is trapped in a Boston crab. How
<v Speaker 1>about that combination offense by the Quebecers. Stevie then comes
<v Speaker 1>in and drops a leg to break up.
<v Speaker 2>The cover attempt. Well they are the Mounties after allac.
<v Speaker 1>To Stevie comes in, firing on Jacques Jeau Irish whip
<v Speaker 1>in a backdrop by Stevie Ray and another whip, and
<v Speaker 1>he gorilla presses and tosses Jacque Rejeau into PCO. Very
<v Speaker 1>nice one not one of the worst Tartlem meat matches.
<v Speaker 1>I'll say that even Stevie Ray looks kind of good.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's fine. It's you know, is nothing bad, nothing bad,
<v Speaker 2>nothing great, you know, it is what it is.
<v Speaker 1>Docy dough and Pco is thrown into referee Scott Dickinson.
<v Speaker 1>So we have a rough bump. Booker tries the Harlem
<v Speaker 1>sidekick but lands crotch first on the top ropes like
<v Speaker 1>he used to do. Double team now on Stevie Ray
<v Speaker 1>by the Canadians, and Heenen says, where's Nick Patrick when
<v Speaker 1>you need him? Double stuff file driver by the Canadians
<v Speaker 1>on Stevie Ray and they load a table of all
<v Speaker 1>things under the ring. Dusty says, they came up with
<v Speaker 1>some plunder on their own. Yere and pcos grabbing the
<v Speaker 1>steps as well, the ring steps, loading those into the ring.
<v Speaker 1>What are they concocting? Trying to make a stage almost
<v Speaker 1>of sorts, as Dusty points out, they're making a he says,
<v Speaker 1>they're making a clubhouse.
<v Speaker 2>But they're doing.
<v Speaker 1>Is they put a table sandwich It's off on the corner.
<v Speaker 1>He can smell one. He says, where's coming from? So
<v Speaker 1>what they did is they put it.
<v Speaker 2>You know, I would, I I do. I would wish,
<v Speaker 2>I really wish. We like, you know, every now and again,
<v Speaker 2>you'd get you'd go to the commentary table and they'd
<v Speaker 2>be eating greatle me. So damn funny to see Dusty
<v Speaker 2>with the fucking sandwich and fries on his on the desk. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and fries and fries.
<v Speaker 1>They must have sent for people, you know, to bring
<v Speaker 1>them some stuff during the broadcast.
<v Speaker 2>I would think maybe not. I don't know, And I
<v Speaker 2>imagine you could. You can probably get a quick snack in,
<v Speaker 2>you know, like you can probably eat a slice of
<v Speaker 2>pizza during one of those backstage Jeane seconds. You go, yep, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So what they do is they put the table on
<v Speaker 1>the top rope in the corner, and then they put
<v Speaker 1>the steps on the table and the climb on the
<v Speaker 1>PCO climbs on the steps that's on the table. I
<v Speaker 1>could have believe my eyes that someone was doing this
<v Speaker 1>in World A Championship Wrestling in nineteen ninety six.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's such a like what the fuck PCO.
<v Speaker 1>Stock in trade. Man, he's been doing it for like
<v Speaker 1>thirty years, coming up with wacky shit to jump off of,
<v Speaker 1>and here it is and he does the front flip
<v Speaker 1>off the stairs that are on the table, but he
<v Speaker 1>misses the big splash and crashes to the canvas. Stevie
<v Speaker 1>gets up and kicks shot out of the ring. Dusty's
<v Speaker 1>loving this action. He loved that big, high risk flip.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah.
<v Speaker 1>And then up to the top rope, Booker t hits
<v Speaker 1>the front flip leg drop the Harlem hangover.
<v Speaker 2>I think he loved, you know, I imagine Dusty loved
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, big guys like you know, doing shit.
<v Speaker 2>They shouldn't be.
<v Speaker 1>The spectacle of just that. It was definitely a sally
<v Speaker 1>for sure. So Booker goes up hits the Harlem hangover
<v Speaker 1>flip leg drop, and that's good for the one to
<v Speaker 1>end the three Harlem Heat defeat the amazing French Canadians
<v Speaker 1>and nine minutes and fourteen seconds here at World War three.
<v Speaker 1>Forgot to mention the stip stated that if Harlem Heat
<v Speaker 1>was victorious, Sherry gets five minutes alone with Colonel Robert Parker.
<v Speaker 1>And does Sherry make the most out of this camera time?
<v Speaker 19>Or what?
<v Speaker 2>Can I listen to this? Okay, you gotta listen. First
<v Speaker 2>of all, Sherry's phenomenal, phenomenal, all right, you gotta again.
<v Speaker 2>Those who didn't live throughout the Sherry you know regime,
<v Speaker 2>you don't get it all right. You needed to see
<v Speaker 2>it when it was happening to really get it. Because
<v Speaker 2>she was a mix of the the the valet you
<v Speaker 2>love to hate, but also the valet you fucking loved,
<v Speaker 2>because she was.
<v Speaker 1>Also set an entertaining part of the show. She was
<v Speaker 1>a fucking she was hell on wheels. When you let
<v Speaker 1>her go off on a mail manager like this, she
<v Speaker 1>turns Parker around and slugs him, and.
<v Speaker 2>And but again, like the way she got involved the
<v Speaker 2>ship that she took. She was remarkable, absolutely remarkable. She
<v Speaker 2>soars that cross body and she sores. Listen to these people,
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, listen, listen to Dusty go fucking nuts over
<v Speaker 2>the ship.
<v Speaker 25>Rip his draws off, baby, yes, and knocked him out
<v Speaker 25>of his boots.
<v Speaker 17>Almost my goodness, that lady again again. Oh she's girded
<v Speaker 17>up too much. She's going all right out of here.
<v Speaker 17>I go get him down and I'm anna hide.
<v Speaker 7>I'm looking up at.
<v Speaker 2>The foot because he can see up her dress. She's
<v Speaker 2>climbing the rocks. Oh, come in, what a flying dude.
<v Speaker 3>This is crazy.
<v Speaker 7>And the total him off. She ain't do it, and
<v Speaker 7>she got five minutes. She's gonna go fine. Believe me,
<v Speaker 7>Colonel did nothing.
<v Speaker 25>She bade him from the start of the match, and
<v Speaker 25>she's after him right now said, oh what a big
<v Speaker 25>bars and girls playing.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gods. He always comes back to station, doesn't
<v Speaker 2>he at.
<v Speaker 7>The end of the like he does.
<v Speaker 2>He's listening. He's always fucking you know, he's plugging the taglines,
<v Speaker 2>recharging like a rumba. I I I love when when.
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it's just funny, I don't.
<v Speaker 2>His reaction is so genuine, so joyous, and but it's
<v Speaker 2>it's funny to me that he's almost surprised that Cherry
<v Speaker 2>can do these things. He's reacting like it's the damnedest
<v Speaker 2>thing he's ever seen Sherry do. Right right, It's like she,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, are you're not familiar with her work over
<v Speaker 2>the last decade.
<v Speaker 1>She takes her shoes off and does it crossbody in
<v Speaker 1>that evening gown. From the top she covers half the ring.
<v Speaker 1>It's like the most awesome thing. You can't help it
<v Speaker 1>crack up. She's she's like, it's it's unbelievable. She is
<v Speaker 1>so fucking amazing.
<v Speaker 2>It's not like it's not like you know, you're you're
<v Speaker 2>you're you know attitude era, you know, uh, a cat
<v Speaker 2>fight that they would pull off like this was she
<v Speaker 2>fucking landed clothes lines, like fucking took him.
<v Speaker 1>Down, kind of played the seed there. I mean, what
<v Speaker 1>if you know, after Sable runs through Luna, Sable comes
<v Speaker 1>out on Raw Monday and hits the ring. Stop it
<v Speaker 1>goes off on her.
<v Speaker 2>Stop it you if they, I mean, that's you would
<v Speaker 2>have really got over. Can you imagine how fucking huge
<v Speaker 2>that would have been if Sherry came back.
<v Speaker 1>All pissed off that she's getting attention Sable Yep, yep, Barbie,
<v Speaker 1>Oh like it would have the crowd would have gone,
<v Speaker 1>fucking we see right here in this match, which she
<v Speaker 1>was still capable of doing in the ring.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how old was she at this point?
<v Speaker 1>Great question?
<v Speaker 2>Her forty? Maybe let me take a look.
<v Speaker 1>So awesome you got to watch this, man, It's like
<v Speaker 1>for such a nothing match, it's like totally forgotten great
<v Speaker 1>WCW moment here she is the best.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you never fucking you didn't even think about it,
<v Speaker 2>You'd never even it was so just she's just.
<v Speaker 1>Awesome, Tony said this podcast is announcing gold, he said
<v Speaker 1>he had during the course of the segment. He said
<v Speaker 1>he had to put on pause on his hem when
<v Speaker 1>he was watching it back because he was laughing so
<v Speaker 1>hard at Dusty's commentary and loved it so much rewatching it,
<v Speaker 1>and I thought they did a great job and that
<v Speaker 1>Bobby and Dusty were spectacular in this, and I would
<v Speaker 1>have to agree with that.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>Just tremendous stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it.
<v Speaker 1>Really, really really is mussie here Sherry would have been.
<v Speaker 1>I'm she wasn't even forty yet, that's insane. She looks
<v Speaker 1>well north of forty.
<v Speaker 2>She was thirty eight. Unreal, she was wait a minute, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>she was thirty eight years old.
<v Speaker 1>She's taking flight.
<v Speaker 2>He was born in ninth born in nineteen fifty eight.
<v Speaker 2>She died before she was fifty. Great dark set on her.
<v Speaker 1>I'm so yeah, that was such a loss, man, because
<v Speaker 1>she just she just went back to the trailer park
<v Speaker 1>and got hooked on drugs and just died. It was
<v Speaker 1>like the saddest It's like she was the last person
<v Speaker 1>in the business that deserved that ending, you know.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, unbelievable, and she was so fucking amazing.
<v Speaker 1>Tony also said that you know you were talking about
<v Speaker 1>he didn't being afraid of his neck when Sherry was
<v Speaker 1>out there. That's when he got really concerned, because she
<v Speaker 1>would do something so fucking nuts that he was worried
<v Speaker 1>she would end up hitting the announced team, jumping on
<v Speaker 1>the table, picking up a chair, dropping something crazy, hurting them.
<v Speaker 1>He said, Bobby was scared to death of her, which
<v Speaker 1>is even more tremendous.
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad she got in the Hall of Fame before
<v Speaker 2>she died. Yeah, me too. That's kind of crucial Sherry.
<v Speaker 2>But just I mean, imagine her coming back if she
<v Speaker 2>had just if she had been able to come back.
<v Speaker 2>I see the raw after wrestling he fourteen. You know,
<v Speaker 2>she comes out of the crowd and tackles tackles her
<v Speaker 2>because she wasn't doing anything anyway after that, Like she
<v Speaker 2>come on, Yeah, between something, I don't know where she
<v Speaker 2>was between ninety seven and uh, I guess she went
<v Speaker 2>to itw Mid South.
<v Speaker 1>I invite you to consider something else. Sherry returns and
<v Speaker 1>attacks Sable, and later on that show, Savage returns. Oh
<v Speaker 1>do we have a long term story possibility with those
<v Speaker 1>two linking back up for a reign of terror?
<v Speaker 2>I think we do.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I think a Steve, Austin and Sable versus Randy
<v Speaker 1>Savage and Sherry mixtag could about a fucking sensation.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm telling you, Savage. If Savage ended up being, oh,
<v Speaker 2>you know, the first the first opponent for Austin, that
<v Speaker 2>would have been monumental, Absolutely monumental.
<v Speaker 1>I've never even thought of that match. I know that
<v Speaker 1>that's the most for that's the most tantalizing part of
<v Speaker 1>it is I'm sitting here picturing things I've never pictured before.
<v Speaker 1>I've never once thought about that.
<v Speaker 2>You know, I always think of Flair Hogan, I mean
<v Speaker 2>Flair Hogan, Austin Hogan, but I never thought of Austin Savage.
<v Speaker 2>And that's a fucking money match, and.
<v Speaker 1>His money is Austin Hogan would be When you consider
<v Speaker 1>the personality match and the style match, the Savage stuff
<v Speaker 1>would have been thirty times better. I mean, he'd have
<v Speaker 1>worked his ass In terms of match quality, Yes, in
<v Speaker 1>terms of money, it obviously is Hogan because they're the
<v Speaker 1>they're the two.
<v Speaker 2>Even the promos promos would have been better with Savage,
<v Speaker 2>oh totally totally, and Savage coming out with like Vince
<v Speaker 2>behind him, like a hired gun like he brings him
<v Speaker 2>back to try to stop Steve Austin, right, you know,
<v Speaker 2>and and and they can play up the whole the
<v Speaker 2>whole thing, like you know, the fact that that that
<v Speaker 2>savage left him in ninety four and oh my god,
<v Speaker 2>now I gotta think about this now, I have to
<v Speaker 2>picture it.
<v Speaker 1>I have to consider it. I have to accept it, right,
<v Speaker 1>you have.
<v Speaker 2>To accept the fact that it never never happened and
<v Speaker 2>never would happen.
<v Speaker 1>Well, the Sherry Colonel Parker match ends be a count
<v Speaker 1>out in a minute thirty. It is kind of funny
<v Speaker 1>that as much of a tail kicking as Colonel Parker
<v Speaker 1>is taking, he still bothers to kick out of the crossbody.
<v Speaker 1>That is hilarious.
<v Speaker 2>I do understand why Dusty laughs at that, because why
<v Speaker 2>does he care about taking the one two three?
<v Speaker 18>Like?
<v Speaker 1>That's hilarious?
<v Speaker 2>I know, Like, what what is it? What is it
<v Speaker 2>going to do? This fight prolonged right right? Like, all
<v Speaker 2>you gotta do is lose and out there exactly. Instead,
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna let her fucking beat on you some morning.
<v Speaker 2>He's running away from her, but he's kicking out when
<v Speaker 2>she pins him. Oh man, that's idiotic pride right there. Exactly.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe his pants actually ship my pants watching this. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>so great.
<v Speaker 1>It was absolutely amazing, such a hidden gem. No one
<v Speaker 1>even thinks about this moment, but it's up there. So anyway,
<v Speaker 1>he and and they reset, and he says, if Piper's
<v Speaker 1>having hip surgery, that's gonna take a long time. But
<v Speaker 1>if the fight was tonight, he's convinced that Piper would
<v Speaker 1>be ready. He'd screw the leg on. He's nuts. So
<v Speaker 1>they're kind of like walking this fine line between like
<v Speaker 1>giving us reason to think the match might still not happen,
<v Speaker 1>but screaming at us, trust this, it'll still happen. Even
<v Speaker 1>though that was a heavy duty angle, So that's always
<v Speaker 1>kind of awkward. But Tony comments how Piper seemed surprised
<v Speaker 1>that Hogan and the NBO knew about his hip injury,
<v Speaker 1>and Dusty says, the on the most powerful men in
<v Speaker 1>the indutry, you're gonna find stuff up like that out
<v Speaker 1>and no matter what shape Piper's in, tradition will drag
<v Speaker 1>him out.
<v Speaker 2>To the ring that night.
<v Speaker 1>In the nWo, it's got a whooping coming. You see
<v Speaker 1>people moving the steps around behind Bobby the brain heenan
<v Speaker 1>as they're talking. Yeah, they even nudge.
<v Speaker 2>His chair and he actually whips his head around all pissed. Oh,
<v Speaker 2>he's fucking god horrified.
<v Speaker 1>They're setting up the what are they setting up the.
<v Speaker 2>Something?
<v Speaker 1>They're setting up something for the next match or for
<v Speaker 1>the for the kit for the World War three Battle Royal.
<v Speaker 1>They do a star Ka ninety six ad with an
<v Speaker 1>l F in it and no hint of who's in
<v Speaker 1>the wrestling matches.
<v Speaker 3>I know, and this ain't your typical forman funny holiday session.
<v Speaker 7>A tree is dumb, the turkey is.
<v Speaker 3>Crash, and the fruitcake.
<v Speaker 7>Get this on the biggest stars the World Championship Wrestling.
<v Speaker 7>What's coming up for one?
<v Speaker 11>He's w c W Star Cave Sunday, December twenty ninth,
<v Speaker 11>live and only on pay per view.
<v Speaker 7>Call your cab older satellite company to order.
<v Speaker 1>Now put me back there with that voice. Oh, star
<v Speaker 1>Kate in a Christmas ornament, the logo, Yes, yep. They
<v Speaker 1>just don't they don't get it. They don't get it.
<v Speaker 1>They don't get what it was that was magic about it.
<v Speaker 1>So Jeane's backstage, all right.
<v Speaker 2>They don't realize that it wasn't about the it wasn't
<v Speaker 2>about the high tech, It wasn't about the slick editing
<v Speaker 2>and the and the the graphics and whatever.
<v Speaker 1>It was the tone, it was the right.
<v Speaker 2>It was the tone. It was the simplicity. It was
<v Speaker 2>the idea that they were you know they they were
<v Speaker 2>they we're blending the holidays with restless beautiful, you know,
<v Speaker 2>like they were. There was a marriage there, and it
<v Speaker 2>made it feel because because you know, if they're if
<v Speaker 2>they're promoting whatever I mean not not everything comes in
<v Speaker 2>December anymore. No, they don't always have shows in December,
<v Speaker 2>but you know, if they're doing a show, there's never
<v Speaker 2>that kind of synergy. You know, they want to keep
<v Speaker 2>it away from being holiday themed, and it's like you
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't do that. The holidays make these shows because because
<v Speaker 2>when the time comes around, you look forward to that.
<v Speaker 2>It's why a Halloween Havoc is important, or any show
<v Speaker 2>that that happens in October should be should have some
<v Speaker 2>connection to Halloweens. Absolutely. The Thanksgiving Eve or Thanksgiving Night
<v Speaker 2>tradition of of Survivor series is huge, huge, and and
<v Speaker 2>and you know, yeah, it's just it makes you look
<v Speaker 2>forward to both things. It reminds you. It's like you
<v Speaker 2>can look forward to these events, not only because they're
<v Speaker 2>coming up, but also because they are happening around this
<v Speaker 2>magical time of years.
<v Speaker 1>It reminds you that it's coming.
<v Speaker 2>And that's the same thing, like you have a great
<v Speaker 2>American Bash in July. Like that works. It makes sense,
<v Speaker 2>you know, because it's it's about fourth of July. I
<v Speaker 2>have it.
<v Speaker 1>It was the same way I see a Halloween have
<v Speaker 1>it ad in September. I'm like, fuck, yeah, Halloween's yeah.
<v Speaker 1>It's the least they can do is seasonally appropriate marketing,
<v Speaker 1>you know, It's the least.
<v Speaker 2>I never I didn't never understood why they thought it
<v Speaker 2>just they need to stop doing that. I know why
<v Speaker 2>they didn't. Why why they decided, you know what, we
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be associated with that kind of stuff.
<v Speaker 1>It's weird. Is they still ran you know, It's not
<v Speaker 1>like they gave the guys the day off so they
<v Speaker 1>could write. Right, I'm back on the hotline, Jean says.
<v Speaker 11>Engage, I'm back on a hotline and man or man alive.
<v Speaker 11>If you haven't caught it on the internet in one
<v Speaker 11>of the websites, it is the talk of the industry. Yes, indeed,
<v Speaker 11>ladies and gentlemen, apparently it's rumored allegedly that another superstar,
<v Speaker 11>yet another superstar, will be coming to World Championship Wrestling
<v Speaker 11>in the very near future. Right now, on the WCW
<v Speaker 11>hot Line on option number one, Mark Madden, Jeff Katz
<v Speaker 11>and myself will talk about it. Give us a call
<v Speaker 11>at one nine hundred nine to nine ninety nine hundred.
<v Speaker 11>That's one nine hundred nine on nine ninety nine hundred.
<v Speaker 2>Indeed it was who was it supposed to be? Perfect?
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure that's who they're talking about. Okay, Lex Luger.
<v Speaker 1>Steps in, Sting hands you a bat. It's hard to
<v Speaker 1>make anything of it. It's frustrating for me and for
<v Speaker 1>the wrestlers to try to interpret what Sting is doing.
<v Speaker 1>Where Steiner? Where's he coming from? As close as I've
<v Speaker 1>been to the Stinger, I don't know what to make
<v Speaker 1>of all this. He says, what he's been doing, it
<v Speaker 1>just reeks of the nWo. Yeah, or says I hope
<v Speaker 1>I'm not right about that. And black and white he's
<v Speaker 1>wearing all that coming out of the crowd. I don't
<v Speaker 1>want to believe it, but I waited for months to
<v Speaker 1>get any word from him, and he's a man of
<v Speaker 1>no words right now, so he does not know what
<v Speaker 1>to make of it. Geene, good promo here from Lex,
<v Speaker 1>kind of establishing that.
<v Speaker 2>And Gene gives us a real nice little button to
<v Speaker 2>tie this whole thing up.
<v Speaker 11>This man is either with the nWo or he's wrestling's
<v Speaker 11>Marcel Marceaul.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well it is a pantomime. He's in the right business.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe references Gane, like was Medusa pulling a Marcel Marceau too?
<v Speaker 2>Back then?
<v Speaker 1>Jean says, Luger's been putting guys left and right, three
<v Speaker 1>hundred pounders in the torture rack. That was the big
<v Speaker 1>thing back then. With Luger, he's just racking fat guys,
<v Speaker 1>and so they think therefore he's the favorite to win
<v Speaker 1>it all on the Battle Royal and Nucas. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know about that. I mean, anything can happened sixty men,
<v Speaker 1>he says. I do have a good feeling, very very
<v Speaker 1>strong right now. Chance to bestow him honor take some
<v Speaker 1>tarnish off what's happening at WCW. I want that shot
<v Speaker 1>at Hogan really bad, and I'm ready, he says. But
<v Speaker 1>he did promo from Lex, all things considered. Usually he
<v Speaker 1>veers off into the you know you can't believe it. Boy,
<v Speaker 1>he says, cringeness, but he kind of keeps it straight
<v Speaker 1>and narrow here. He was good foiled in the nWo.
<v Speaker 2>He just was. They and I've said it for years.
<v Speaker 2>I've said it for years now. They they built up
<v Speaker 2>Luger amazingly, Yeah, amazingly. They just had him win. He
<v Speaker 2>just kept winning on Nitro. It's a simple thing, so simple.
<v Speaker 2>It's like, you have a guy, you bring him out,
<v Speaker 2>he fucking wins. Is the guy with the wind at
<v Speaker 2>his back that got to get behind They didn't necessarily
<v Speaker 2>like I don't recall him being in a lot of
<v Speaker 2>a storylines up until around now in the end of
<v Speaker 2>the year. But you know, after i'd say, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I guess say once the nWo started, he didn't really
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I can't think of any major like what
<v Speaker 2>was he doing.
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't doing much in ninety six, So that, in
<v Speaker 1>a weird way, that's the best thing could have happened
<v Speaker 1>to him. I don't know if that was by design
<v Speaker 1>or if it was just the way that that it
<v Speaker 1>ended up, but it worked great in that he was
<v Speaker 1>able to just just fucking beat jobbers or or or
<v Speaker 1>you know, lower lower tier wrestlers and.
<v Speaker 2>Just get over because he's he's winning. It's so simple, Yes,
<v Speaker 2>it absolutely is, and he's you don't, Yeah, you don't
<v Speaker 2>need to have a guy do a bunch of different
<v Speaker 2>like just have him win, have him win every week,
<v Speaker 2>watch him get over.
<v Speaker 1>Uh well, not to be and not not tonight at least,
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, have mercy. The Psychosis music.
<v Speaker 2>Man kind of sounds like the kinds sounds like the
<v Speaker 2>theme for the Larryus Andrews show. Really in a way. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it's got a little bit of that vibe.
<v Speaker 1>And uh, here comes Malinko puns pun Ton.
<v Speaker 2>Tom Pun definitely definitely pun.
<v Speaker 1>Malanko over Psychosis. Now for the Cruiserway title. Dean of
<v Speaker 1>course with a thousand on his trunks and goes to
<v Speaker 1>the waistlock. Early Dusty says, it's the first time these
<v Speaker 1>two have competed in the ring, andfully it was the
<v Speaker 1>last time because this one did not hit. This one
<v Speaker 1>did not know I did not advised formatting of this matchup.
<v Speaker 2>Dusty. Uh he talks about both Psychosis and Malanka, which
<v Speaker 2>you know that. I mean, he ain'ts gonna chime.
<v Speaker 8>In the bottom line with this young man right here, Psychosis,
<v Speaker 8>he has opportunity to knock it on his dough.
<v Speaker 7>Dean Malinko knows more holes.
<v Speaker 8>Than anybody in the industry ever, period brain Ever, then
<v Speaker 8>he says he's a man of a thousand holes.
<v Speaker 7>I did not say it. I don't believe that he,
<v Speaker 7>I mean knows five thousand holes. That's what I'm talking about.
<v Speaker 6>Oh, I don't think there are five thousand holes in
<v Speaker 6>the wrestling.
<v Speaker 7>Actually, well he can come up with four thousand more,
<v Speaker 7>I'll guarantee you.
<v Speaker 1>And then he says Psychosis has hair like Peg Bundy.
<v Speaker 2>It does tremendous, which he does as dimly didn't know,
<v Speaker 2>especially then with the horn mask. I really it's like
<v Speaker 2>its psychotic? Is really what? He's a lot? Really?
<v Speaker 10>Is?
<v Speaker 2>I mean you're looking at a lot here? Is this
<v Speaker 2>a parade float? Or is this a wrestler? Yeah? Like
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is this a is this like a like
<v Speaker 2>a like an eighties glam rocker or is it a
<v Speaker 2>fucking you know, clown wearing a mask?
<v Speaker 18>Like?
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck's going on here?
<v Speaker 1>Malinko works a like grape Vine. In this cruiserweight match
<v Speaker 1>lock up to the waistlock, Regal had gone the time
<v Speaker 1>limit with Psychosis. They mentioned on w'sw Saturday Night, and
<v Speaker 1>they predicted that eventually Dean Malinko would capture the WSW
<v Speaker 1>television title or they say Psychosis will something like that.
<v Speaker 1>Regal had defeated Dean Malinko over the TV belt, so
<v Speaker 1>Dean actually went up to TV title contention and then
<v Speaker 1>came down in wait to rewin the cruise ofweight belt.
<v Speaker 1>There's a drop toe hold here by Malenko, who's posting
<v Speaker 1>the ankle with a bit of a grapevine. Then switches
<v Speaker 1>to the bow and arrow and rolls Psychosis over with
<v Speaker 1>his arms track in a pinning combination for two, gets
<v Speaker 1>these high flyers and he grounds them. Tony points out,
<v Speaker 1>which certainly Dean's role, but it just it wasn't working here.
<v Speaker 2>I wrote that this match is boring as hell.
<v Speaker 1>It really is. And you know, I'm not a huge
<v Speaker 1>it never was a huge Psychosis fan, but I generally speaking,
<v Speaker 1>given the way that Dean would work with the other Cruiser.
<v Speaker 2>Weights, I figured this would have been way better for sure.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not everybody is ready to be that foil to
<v Speaker 1>the style Deane has. You know what it works like
<v Speaker 1>with Ray, it works, but not every every high flyer
<v Speaker 1>is capable of getting in and out of their flying
<v Speaker 1>moves the way you have to when you're wrestling a
<v Speaker 1>guy like Malenko. So they exchange arm drags and then
<v Speaker 1>to the wrist lock. Scosis rolls through, grabs his own
<v Speaker 1>and trips Malenko, who keeps right back up, goes right
<v Speaker 1>back to work on the arm Ringer and scos kicks off.
<v Speaker 1>Both go to the canvas and try to keep up
<v Speaker 1>simultaneously absolute silence. As Dusty guarantees, there have been some
<v Speaker 1>tape sessions going on with Dean Malinko ahead of this one.
<v Speaker 1>Dem Milenko has to come back later, along with many others.
<v Speaker 1>So that was always an underplayed part of World War Three.
<v Speaker 1>These guys all had matches ahead of time.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, it's they don't play up how that
<v Speaker 2>affects you in about in the least, some of these
<v Speaker 2>guys should be.
<v Speaker 1>Protesting the fact that they got to work, so you
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. It should be talked about endlessly.
<v Speaker 1>No one should be picked to win the World War
<v Speaker 1>three Battle Royal if they had a match earlier in
<v Speaker 1>the night. Just defies logic. But here we have Heenan
<v Speaker 1>beating the drum for Malenko. Maybe that's why. But they
<v Speaker 1>don't have a big enough roster. They don't offer sixty guys. No,
<v Speaker 1>they got it all hands on deck, especially if Hogan's.
<v Speaker 2>Not kind of going there. He's not gonna liey fucking
<v Speaker 2>Mikeino's in there. Fuck absolutely maybe I mean not only
<v Speaker 2>not only just Hogan, but like you have like you
<v Speaker 2>don't get half the nWo guys in there.
<v Speaker 1>No, you don't. And as mentioned in some of the
<v Speaker 1>reporting it, there's a point in time where plans were
<v Speaker 1>drawn up to not even have any front buddy in
<v Speaker 1>the nWo in this Battle Royal, let alone have the
<v Speaker 1>Giant win it. So clearly things in flux. Maybe that's
<v Speaker 1>why Dean Malenko had kept such a methodical pace earlier
<v Speaker 1>in the show against cec Chosis, because he was trying
<v Speaker 1>to preserve his energy for the Battle Royal. Maybe maybe
<v Speaker 1>Mico drops to a leg lace, going to work on
<v Speaker 1>those holes and crowd finding ways to entertain themselves as
<v Speaker 1>both lay there, literally lay on the man leg lock
<v Speaker 1>for several minutes. To the knucklelock they go and Malinko
<v Speaker 1>backflips and picks the leg, comes up with a half
<v Speaker 1>grab while also grabbing the arm of Sycosis, then sticks
<v Speaker 1>the knee into the back while pulling, torturing Cecosis back up.
<v Speaker 1>Psychosis grabs a side headlog push off tackle cover for
<v Speaker 1>one back up sidestep and Dean Malenko drops down and
<v Speaker 1>he kicks the back of the leg of Psychosis as
<v Speaker 1>he's hitting the ropes, and when he does that, you
<v Speaker 1>take the feeding out. Sircosis flies through the ropes to
<v Speaker 1>the floor, but he comes up with the spinning heelkick
<v Speaker 1>and drop to kick that sends Dean Malinko to the outside.
<v Speaker 1>Socosis then kind of weird, kind of weird whole thing there,
<v Speaker 1>like it just no sells the move. Yeah, yeah, he
<v Speaker 1>pretty much.
<v Speaker 2>Does leco dead and it's like, this is weird covers
<v Speaker 2>from it. What are you doing? Yeah? What are you doing?
<v Speaker 19>Man?
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to get to the spot, reclimbs the ropes
<v Speaker 1>and tries to dive, and he's in such a rush
<v Speaker 1>that Sycosis almost slips off the top and ends his life.
<v Speaker 1>And he comes crashing down uncontrollably, having not launched his
<v Speaker 1>as designed, and hits the railing. He's in such a rush,
<v Speaker 1>I wrote to get people to care.
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna work. Yeah, yeah, not. Now you know
<v Speaker 2>what you can't rush to get people to care. They're
<v Speaker 2>either gonna at this point, they're either gonna care or
<v Speaker 2>they don't. And guess what psychosis they don't.
<v Speaker 1>Back in a snap mare and an elbow dropping leg scissors,
<v Speaker 1>Tony notes Sting is not there during the Hogan contract signing,
<v Speaker 1>so still not sure what to read into that. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Malenko springs off the middle rope and drops a leg
<v Speaker 1>on tocosis for two. Dean Malinko incidentally definitely a wrestler
<v Speaker 1>who adjusts his knee pad. Oh absolutely, not all of
<v Speaker 1>them do it, but man, no one does it more
<v Speaker 1>than Dean Malenko.
<v Speaker 2>You got it. Listen, all right, he knows exactly where
<v Speaker 2>he needs every piece of clothing for support on his body. Yep, exactly,
<v Speaker 2>So he is not he's not gonna He's not gonna
<v Speaker 2>fuck around, all right, if if the if the knee
<v Speaker 2>pad is even a centimeter below where it should be,
<v Speaker 2>he is going to adjust.
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you agree, because I noticed that I thought that, Yes,
<v Speaker 1>this is quintessential body slamming a half crab by Malanko
<v Speaker 1>stacks him high with his knee in the back of
<v Speaker 1>the coasts.
<v Speaker 2>His head and and uh, Dusty lets us know where
<v Speaker 2>the pain lies in they modified half crab.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, all your ribs exposed?
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me tell me something I don't the ri are
<v Speaker 2>you talking about?
<v Speaker 7>Uh uh uh?
<v Speaker 2>A psychosisis rib You're talking about the ribs on your
<v Speaker 2>plate that are all exposed and.
<v Speaker 8>You pull it on all your hamhocks and that a thing.
<v Speaker 8>I guarantee you this is a hurting situation.
<v Speaker 2>Ribs and hamhowks. What's a ham hog? I don't think
<v Speaker 2>you and I have one?
<v Speaker 7>Well, it's it's like a gizzard. No, it's like a thigh.
<v Speaker 7>Why not.
<v Speaker 2>Wonder to well we know where why not?
<v Speaker 1>You know where Dusty's mind is at?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, listen, he's uh, he's gonna he's got a reservation.
<v Speaker 2>The barbecue plays down the street from from the scope.
<v Speaker 1>And I'm pretty sure that Bobby he didn't called psychosis psoriasis.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's another luta door. Yeah, platosis viano damien helotope.
<v Speaker 4>Ye.
<v Speaker 2>Back up on the web. Dem Lincoln with double under hooks.
<v Speaker 2>He lifts and power bombs, Yes he does.
<v Speaker 1>That's very nice. Power bombs up under hooks and that's
<v Speaker 1>a perfect set of for the clover if he locks
<v Speaker 1>it up crowd waking up just a bit. As dem
<v Speaker 1>Milinko steps over and Sikosa scrambles for the ropes, Michael
<v Speaker 1>works him over in the corner. Randy Ederson actually gets
<v Speaker 1>Dean to back off Ramona, and then Dean drop kicks
<v Speaker 1>the knee or on his hawk brain corrects him and says, no,
<v Speaker 1>it's his ham Tony. Tony says, it's the ham that's
<v Speaker 1>the thigh. The hawk connects. Forget about it, so deem
<v Speaker 1>Michael drops an needle leg Heenan says, people boo Dean Milco.
<v Speaker 1>He does nothing illegal in that ring. He doesn't break
<v Speaker 1>any rules, so I don't know why they're booing the guy.
<v Speaker 1>Tony says, he isn't a friendly person, just comes in
<v Speaker 1>and tries to win matches, and that's it.
<v Speaker 2>God forbid it.
<v Speaker 1>He's so funny to watch the steam Malanco and then
<v Speaker 1>to hear people observe that Dean Milanko is actually one
<v Speaker 1>of the most deeply unseerious wrestlers to ever occupy a
<v Speaker 1>locker room. A constant, clown dry sense of humor you've
<v Speaker 1>ever heard just can't picture it to the floor in Demonlanco.
<v Speaker 2>No, I can't.
<v Speaker 1>I can't picture him smile, Lef. I know he just
<v Speaker 1>seems so good at coming off. Is like drawl and uninspired,
<v Speaker 1>you know, in a way that you can't picture him.
<v Speaker 2>That be just a gimmis.
<v Speaker 1>It's just so focused, so focused, absolutely is. But in
<v Speaker 1>the back, I'm sure he's always got his cock out
<v Speaker 1>and like trying to tap people in the head with it.
<v Speaker 1>So the floor and Malnka rains down an elbow in
<v Speaker 1>the bad wheel, Dusty says, Dean milnco has got knowledge
<v Speaker 1>of when to put a guy away. It's a scosis
<v Speaker 1>is limping like crazy on the floor back up in
<v Speaker 1>Dean milnkols.
<v Speaker 2>He still with the company. Malnko is.
<v Speaker 1>Parkinson's I really do.
<v Speaker 2>That's really bad. Wow, that's awful. I when did you?
<v Speaker 2>When did the WV question?
<v Speaker 1>I think as soon as a w started, I think
<v Speaker 1>he was on the market.
<v Speaker 2>I only mentioned because it's kind of interesting to me
<v Speaker 2>that he hasn't been in a w W game in decades.
<v Speaker 2>It seems that's a good point.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 2>I can't even excited when he came in in two thousand.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely absolutely, I thought I thought he was going to
<v Speaker 1>be a fucking world title You're serious.
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I thought he I loved him so much. I
<v Speaker 2>thought he was such a fucking beast. I wanted him
<v Speaker 2>like I always wanted him to get up to that
<v Speaker 2>level I thought. I thought a program with him and
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin would have been absolutely amazing. Really, I never
<v Speaker 2>saw him as being so small. I never realized how
<v Speaker 2>small he was because he always was because you can
<v Speaker 2>just fucking go and he.
<v Speaker 1>Could hang with you know, heavyweights in WW. Yeah, we
<v Speaker 1>just mentioned how he wrestled for the TV title before this.
<v Speaker 2>I really thought he was I was so bummed when
<v Speaker 2>they made him such a clown because I'm like, this
<v Speaker 2>is Dean Malenko. This guy was a just He's just
<v Speaker 2>a fucking machine out there, and I just it was.
<v Speaker 2>It was a bummer. I was really bummed the beast.
<v Speaker 1>He said that, Like I can picture it. Austin boots
<v Speaker 1>him in the gun and goes for the stunner, and
<v Speaker 1>Malinko counters it with like a flying arm bar, Like
<v Speaker 1>he's got right some counter to the stunner.
<v Speaker 2>He would know how to do it, and he'd make
<v Speaker 2>it look fantastic. But they just fucking I'm even close
<v Speaker 2>to trying to do that. No, Scottie too haughty. Instead,
<v Speaker 2>it's like they only had faith, right, they only had
<v Speaker 2>faith in Ben Wah and Eddie Gerrera. Yeah, and how
<v Speaker 2>and look at that, and who's the one who's alive to.
<v Speaker 1>The extent they even did, it took a while on
<v Speaker 1>those two as well, right, Yeah, they get Ben wat
<v Speaker 1>strong push in two thousand wrestling Rock and stuff that
<v Speaker 1>this summer. Eddie busted his elbow right away, so it's
<v Speaker 1>hard to tell where they would have brought him. But
<v Speaker 1>you know, they didn't get around to actually making Eddie
<v Speaker 1>a thing until like three oh four, you know, so
<v Speaker 1>a thing a single star. So uh, Secosa is limping
<v Speaker 1>like crazy on the floor is mentioned. Minko drives his
<v Speaker 1>shoulders into the knee whip out of the corner, up
<v Speaker 1>for the monkey flip, but Secosas puts some on the
<v Speaker 1>ropes and Dean Milinko pulls up over with the feet
<v Speaker 1>under the arms. You know whatever that is the Japanese
<v Speaker 1>rolling crotch hole thing. Uh, rolling first cradle not a
<v Speaker 1>crotch hole. I don't where I get that from baseball
<v Speaker 1>slide missed Secosas with a pump pedal backbreaker on the outside.
<v Speaker 1>He goes up top and Sores does secosas with a corkscrew.
<v Speaker 1>Planchia almost lands on the apron as a matter of fact,
<v Speaker 1>as he's on his way down back. Then Secosis comes
<v Speaker 1>off the rope with the biguillotine lake drop for two.
<v Speaker 2>So the last time, the last time deem Malanca was
<v Speaker 2>in a fucking video game was SmackDown. Just bring it insane,
<v Speaker 2>it's insane. He's not going to be in the game
<v Speaker 2>anytime soon, as long as he's an agent.
<v Speaker 16>No.
<v Speaker 7>Bike.
<v Speaker 2>Like, I don't understand why he was not in all
<v Speaker 2>the games while he was a fucking agent, Like, they
<v Speaker 2>have so many people who are backstage people in the
<v Speaker 2>games as long as they're there, Like, what's the deal?
<v Speaker 2>Great question, He should have been in every fucking game. Agreed,
<v Speaker 2>there's some wall there for what it is.
<v Speaker 10>I know.
<v Speaker 1>So ss gets two with the leg drop.
<v Speaker 2>Unless he didn't want to give his likeness away, maybe
<v Speaker 2>that's the case. I doubt that. I doubt it too.
<v Speaker 1>Drop kicks like cone to the corner and then Milca
<v Speaker 1>leaps over the buckles and Secosis runs into them. Milaca
<v Speaker 1>tries to climb the rope, but he gets crotched and
<v Speaker 1>Dussy says he's drough.
<v Speaker 2>Is at daddy, you fucking Drowsychosis climbs and snaps off
<v Speaker 2>a lovely superherokinna for two on Malinko.
<v Speaker 1>Sycosis's hair is really something else over those bullhorns on
<v Speaker 1>the mask. I noticed that at this particular point he's
<v Speaker 1>coming up frizzy from some of this high risk offense.
<v Speaker 1>And then he lifts Michael for suplex, but Malinko counters
<v Speaker 1>with an inside cradle for two and Dusty says he
<v Speaker 1>could have been a cruiser weight two and Tony doubts that.
<v Speaker 1>He then says, yeah, but your parents were to let
<v Speaker 1>you wrestle it six months qualified as a cruiserweighted six months.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right.
<v Speaker 1>Sachosis charges with a Liger Coppo kick and scores with that.
<v Speaker 1>He then tries a tombstone, but no Malinko reverses, but
<v Speaker 1>no Sycosis reverses as well. Malenko reverses again. They're going
<v Speaker 1>back and forth with tombstone threats. Finally Malenko gets the
<v Speaker 1>upper hand plants him and of course, as we mentioned,
<v Speaker 1>a cruiserweight tombstone is this nineteen ninety five, ninety six
<v Speaker 1>as it gets and oh yeah that, oh yeah, it
<v Speaker 1>gets two Whipped to the corner, Milancho charges into the
<v Speaker 1>Buddha Ciccosas leaps over Dean Lilnko's back to secosas for
<v Speaker 1>a school boy ATMP, but that allows Dean Malnco to
<v Speaker 1>go up into the forementioned Japanese rolling overs cradle. You
<v Speaker 1>get the one, two, and the three in fourteen minutes
<v Speaker 1>and thirty three seconds, way too long. Dean Malenko defeats
<v Speaker 1>for sure, what a I mean awful to retain that
<v Speaker 1>cruise slides out efficiently, titles handed to him, and Linko's
<v Speaker 1>job is done. He got the fuck out of there,
<v Speaker 1>and we hear thenwo music. It's triangle match time for
<v Speaker 1>the tag team titles, and.
<v Speaker 2>Here's here we go.
<v Speaker 1>Scott Hall steps out, tosses the toothpick. He's in all
<v Speaker 1>red and they got the titles, the right WCW World
<v Speaker 1>Tag belts, by the way, the ones we need. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>a little cutout square on the top, perfect belts, So great,
<v Speaker 1>so great. Match has his in his hand on around
<v Speaker 1>his waist and Tony apologizes that they were for walking
<v Speaker 1>out during Monday nightro as he did when the Outsiders
<v Speaker 1>were running rampant. But he's not going to stand by,
<v Speaker 1>Tony says, and let these two guys push him around.
<v Speaker 1>So the announcers are taking no chances at all. Peep
<v Speaker 1>the classic outsider shirt, that one with the big photo
<v Speaker 1>portrait logo on the front. Yep, I mean that one
<v Speaker 1>will say nineties forever, oh yes, oh yes, and a
<v Speaker 1>big come back. And because it looks like because it
<v Speaker 1>looks like a shirt that someone made in their fucking garage.
<v Speaker 1>You know, it doesn't look like a real shirt. It
<v Speaker 1>looks so kind of because it's got that it's got
<v Speaker 1>font that someone who thought they were being cool would
<v Speaker 1>put on. Yes, you know, it's not like professional looking
<v Speaker 1>font in. The ad campaign for this shirt had plenty
<v Speaker 1>of cool as well.
<v Speaker 15>The following announcement has been paid for by the New
<v Speaker 15>World Order.
<v Speaker 7>Son is awareless their outside of it. The t shirts
<v Speaker 7>wear the shirt backwards.
<v Speaker 2>Twenty bucks seats or two for forty if you buy
<v Speaker 2>a million of them, it's only twenty million dollars, sir.
<v Speaker 15>The preceding announcement has been paid for by the New
<v Speaker 15>World Order.
<v Speaker 1>Buy the shirt, remember that, buy a shirt, but I
<v Speaker 1>do like one for twenty two for forty that's great. Yes, yes,
<v Speaker 1>so there they come h Nasty Boys out has tape
<v Speaker 1>on his head. They charged the ring and r underway
<v Speaker 1>for the tag belts at the Outsiders versus the Nasty
<v Speaker 1>Boys versus the Faces of Fear of Mainging the Barbarian
<v Speaker 1>here in a triangle tag which means what three wrestlers, No,
<v Speaker 1>two wrestlers in the ring at once, one whole team
<v Speaker 1>on the apron and you just tag whoever you want
<v Speaker 1>and it's pretty stupid.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the rules. I thought it was actually three
<v Speaker 2>in the ring, though, I don't think so.
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't know, no, because there's that moment where
<v Speaker 1>they tag National Hall at the same time and they
<v Speaker 1>both have to come in and fight each other because
<v Speaker 1>they're both on the ape whatever. So SAgs it's right
<v Speaker 1>and Nash goes up and over over the right hand
<v Speaker 1>knobs is all over Scott Hall again. It's just real
<v Speaker 1>chaos seeming to rain in this matchup. Fists are absolutely
<v Speaker 1>flying in discriminately.
<v Speaker 19>Well.
<v Speaker 1>The music is still playing snubbed by the nWo where
<v Speaker 1>the Nasty Boys were told on commentary and again I
<v Speaker 1>remember thinking they would actually join up and then said
<v Speaker 1>the patch on the side of Brian Nobb's head.
<v Speaker 2>His brain donor. That's what it means.
<v Speaker 1>Make a Barbarian step out with Jimmy Hart who is
<v Speaker 1>the manager, and they meet the outsiders in the Isleway
<v Speaker 1>and have a big brawl. Everybody's on Holland Nash. The
<v Speaker 1>Nasty say they wanted to be with both w CW
<v Speaker 1>and the nWo, but got thrown out of consideration really
<v Speaker 1>from both.
<v Speaker 2>Nobody nobody right, nobody wants them to hit part of it.
<v Speaker 2>So really, what are they fucking free agents?
<v Speaker 1>Is that what they said?
<v Speaker 2>Backing around? I got no no contract with either fucking organization.
<v Speaker 2>Gratis non gratta whatever. How do you feel? You know,
<v Speaker 2>Barbarian is always thought of being in the powers of pain, right,
<v Speaker 2>that's what everyone kind of equates. But he and Mang
<v Speaker 2>were teamed together about the same amount of time. Absolute, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I think that's but they all it's always fucking you know,
<v Speaker 2>the feces of fear is uh, you know, never like
<v Speaker 2>you think of Barbarian as being powers of pain more.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I don't. I don't think of as much.
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, Yeah, I actually think this is like
<v Speaker 1>kind of him reduced down to his essence in this
<v Speaker 1>phases of fear, right, right, the Powers of Pain had
<v Speaker 1>it was all wrapped up in like the phony Road
<v Speaker 1>Warriors road you know, paint. It was just like their
<v Speaker 1>effective team. But it was kind of like just a
<v Speaker 1>ripoff thing.
<v Speaker 2>It was just derivative, right, I mean literally more so
<v Speaker 2>than Demolition. More so I always think, and I when
<v Speaker 2>when when you had Demolition, you know, in at the
<v Speaker 2>same time as Powers of Pain, It's like, well, wait
<v Speaker 2>a minute, right, Like Powers of Pain have the exact
<v Speaker 2>same fucking haircuts, right.
<v Speaker 1>That that's what really did it is they had the mohawks.
<v Speaker 2>Right, and and you know obviously Demolition had the face
<v Speaker 2>paint and spikes, but that's it. It's only how face
<v Speaker 2>paint and spikes. Other than that, the Powers of Pain
<v Speaker 2>much more Road Warriors than Demolish Greed there for sure.
<v Speaker 1>So the tonguans and knobs are just throwing like crazy
<v Speaker 1>and the Barbarian barges knobs to the canvas on the
<v Speaker 1>charge hull a nash out of the fray at Ringside.
<v Speaker 1>Early on, they're not stepping in the middle of this,
<v Speaker 1>Dusty points out. A skeleton on Jimmy Hart's arm is glowing.
<v Speaker 1>That's innovation, Dusty says. He likes the outfit nasties, uh
<v Speaker 1>do his shoulder tackle down goes Barbarian for it two
<v Speaker 1>called Barbarian ball bearing. I don't know who called him
<v Speaker 1>ball bearing, somebody did. I wrote it down. Knobs, missus
<v Speaker 1>nelbow dropping, the faces of fear just both go nuts
<v Speaker 1>on the guys. Kind of awesome. Actually, how they would
<v Speaker 1>just start winging these windmill punches.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean they gotta do something to make themselves
<v Speaker 2>stand out, honestly. And there's meng throwing, if there's if
<v Speaker 2>there's this heat going on between the nasties and and
<v Speaker 2>the outsiders, you know, like, well, where are we fucking
<v Speaker 2>fix exactly? The guys on us mang throwing knees and
<v Speaker 2>Brian Knobbs is fighting for his life in there. It
<v Speaker 2>looks like Nash laughing his ass off. He pantomimes like
<v Speaker 2>he's taking a drag off a cigarette and enjoying this
<v Speaker 2>whole thing playing out.
<v Speaker 1>Megan Knobs mixing it up. Men kills Knobs with hilariot
<v Speaker 1>and Knobs makes a hilarious face like he did not
<v Speaker 1>see that coming.
<v Speaker 2>U probably didn't, Probably didn't.
<v Speaker 1>Nash then blind tags in off Meng and goes to
<v Speaker 1>work on Knobs with knees in the corner and comes
<v Speaker 1>Scott Hall, throwing punches as only he can. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>we got to pay tribute to the Scott Hall punches.
<v Speaker 2>Nothing, the the the wide swing snap punches are fent yep,
<v Speaker 2>it's fantastic.
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic and he definitely brought it to w CW. He
<v Speaker 1>messes a bit with Ming two to Scott Hall. Ming
<v Speaker 1>comes in and chops him and knocks him down and
<v Speaker 1>Knobs is calling out Nash and Nash tags Meng. Nash
<v Speaker 1>then sends Nobs into the corner with the back elbow
<v Speaker 1>on the charge. Nash then tags Mang stumbling backwards. It's
<v Speaker 1>kind of weird, It's kind of disjointed. It's like it's
<v Speaker 1>I I say, it's very sloppy.
<v Speaker 2>And I think you're right that these personal issues kind
<v Speaker 2>of took precedence over the rest of the of the
<v Speaker 2>thing and and it affected the match negatively.
<v Speaker 1>Cohesais guys just you know, right, because because you got two,
<v Speaker 1>you get four guys who are more preoccupied with their
<v Speaker 1>own shit then, you know, and then you got two
<v Speaker 1>guys that are just trying to have a fucking match,
<v Speaker 1>and they're trying to swallow up camera time the fear with.
<v Speaker 2>A double team. Yeah we get.
<v Speaker 1>Tony brings up the the personal issue is between the
<v Speaker 1>nasties and he says, I worked down the faces of
<v Speaker 1>fear in the Outso so there you go. I don't understand,
<v Speaker 1>but anyway, and there's something.
<v Speaker 7>Personal going on here. You kidding me with Kevin Nash
<v Speaker 7>and Jerry Sacks.
<v Speaker 2>All right?
<v Speaker 6>The personal stems back from the chair that SAgs got
<v Speaker 6>in the head. It is last Monday at night, Troup,
<v Speaker 6>we went to the hospital short.
<v Speaker 1>It, I mean that was a shoot though. Yeah, so
<v Speaker 1>blind tag by Holly comes in slugging on Barbarian. You
<v Speaker 1>want some Hall shouting. Barb grabs the throat and muscles
<v Speaker 1>Haul in the corner and an Irish whipon Hall hits
<v Speaker 1>in the barge lands and Hall is shoved down to
<v Speaker 1>the bat. Barbarian then slams Scott Hall, and Tag's mang
<v Speaker 1>who comes in and drops him with a chop stomps
<v Speaker 1>the crotch as well. Dusty calls at an early Christmas
<v Speaker 1>present for Scott Hall. There he goes Scott, although it
<v Speaker 1>comes back by poking the eyes and tags Knobs, who
<v Speaker 1>comes in lunging SAgs is in and goes soaring over
<v Speaker 1>to the corner, just jumping at his target and hanging
<v Speaker 1>out a bit with the ref and they're throwing at
<v Speaker 1>each other, getting serious in there, six way clubbing right here,
<v Speaker 1>Dusty declares at.
<v Speaker 2>World War One. I believe he also follows up.
<v Speaker 8>With that's the greatest clubber in the game right there.
<v Speaker 7>The masters of the clubbers.
<v Speaker 2>Are the club masters of the take an ecstasy. I forget.
<v Speaker 1>Jerry SAgs is Dusty's brother in law, so he's uh
<v Speaker 1>lit extra animated to put him over. Yeah, And then Tony.
<v Speaker 2>Says, imagine, I mean, what can you imagine? Like like,
<v Speaker 2>now your brother in law is a nasty boy, that
<v Speaker 2>fucking haircut and no teeth and.
<v Speaker 1>Faber's sister, oh and his.
<v Speaker 2>Mom, and how happy that guy was right uh um
<v Speaker 2>Ringer's roost, Like he was so excited to introduce us
<v Speaker 2>to them. We would mark out for Jerry Sagg's sister
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, I just want to eat. Hey, hey,
<v Speaker 2>I just want to eat. What's up? Look?
<v Speaker 1>I found Look who's here? Okay, yeah I got this.
<v Speaker 1>I got this this BLT wrap here I'm working on.
<v Speaker 2>I know, Yeah, I'm looking at my food right now.
<v Speaker 2>But who you got over here? Oh? It's the SAgs,
<v Speaker 2>the SAgs fan SAgs. SAgs is great, George Washington Motor
<v Speaker 2>Lodge in mind if I like, ignore you and eat
<v Speaker 2>real so I can go leave as fast as possible
<v Speaker 2>as these group in one of those never ending things
<v Speaker 2>like it just Oh, I honestly, I almost felt like
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be kiddeaed for sure. You started looking for
<v Speaker 2>the exits, start casing the joint immediately, Gary harding the place.
<v Speaker 1>So as these group brawls are breaking out, Tony says,
<v Speaker 1>it's almost like a school, almost like a scrum, and
<v Speaker 1>Dusty says, what name did you call me? SAgs comes
<v Speaker 1>in and pile drives Barbarian because fuck it. As Dusty
<v Speaker 1>clarifies the rules and Tony mocks him for not know
<v Speaker 1>going fifteen minutes in that he doesn't actually know how
<v Speaker 1>you win a triangle match in Wcwright. SAgs then tags
<v Speaker 1>Nash and Nash goes after him. When he turns his
<v Speaker 1>back on him, Barbarian comes in. Tony references again the
<v Speaker 1>chair shot like you just played from Nitro. Barbarian sends
<v Speaker 1>Nash to the corner. It's a boot up and he
<v Speaker 1>cuts him down with that falling lariat does Kevin Nash.
<v Speaker 1>He covers the for two as Men breaks up the
<v Speaker 1>cover nasties and sting in Piper. Those were the ones
<v Speaker 1>that were on their own, not nWo or wwfiliated forgot
<v Speaker 1>to tuck DDP in there as well. Nash lifts and
<v Speaker 1>dumps Barbarian with a sidewalk slam, leading to another save
<v Speaker 1>by Meng on the cover at tack to Scott Hall,
<v Speaker 1>who comes right in and held open to the hits
<v Speaker 1>a right hand to the held open gut to the corner.
<v Speaker 1>Hall hits a close line and hard rights to the corner.
<v Speaker 1>Barbarian now chopping away as Nash nails Barbarian from the apron,
<v Speaker 1>Men comes in and backsup Lexis Scott Hall for a
<v Speaker 1>two count. Confusion reigns because Men and Barbarian had both
<v Speaker 1>been tagged and they thought they had to face off
<v Speaker 1>against each other, and instead of just doing that, instead
<v Speaker 1>of having to wrestle each other, Meng just tags knobs
<v Speaker 1>and avoids the whole thing.
<v Speaker 2>Later.
<v Speaker 1>However, what Hall and Nash find themselves in a similar
<v Speaker 1>predicament The rest of the field is smart. They drop
<v Speaker 1>down from the apron, so they can't yeah tag their
<v Speaker 1>way out of having to fight each other. But then,
<v Speaker 1>of course the outsiders outsmart the whole thing not to
<v Speaker 1>jump front run this and we'll explain why and how
<v Speaker 1>in a minute. So there's a lock up. They grunt
<v Speaker 1>and grown Knobs runs Barbarian into the corner. SAgs come
<v Speaker 1>in and they double team Barbarian, the greatest clubren in
<v Speaker 1>the game. Like you said, SAgs drops a leg to
<v Speaker 1>the crotch of Barbarian and Knobs splashes the leg.
<v Speaker 2>It's just so messy, it's sloppy, it's you know, it's
<v Speaker 2>it's like it's like almost in a way, halland Nash
<v Speaker 2>dead weight to the entire match.
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, you know, yeah, they kind of they kind of
<v Speaker 1>threw the vibes off, you know. It's like, yeah, it's
<v Speaker 1>almost like everyone's more paranoid of being outshined by the
<v Speaker 1>outsiders than they are having a match, right, all blind sides,
<v Speaker 1>Knobs tag gets an works over the ankle of it.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty decides to go in this whole thing about how
<v Speaker 1>the task Master has a plan for the World War
<v Speaker 1>three Battle Royal. He all of a sudden starts emphasizing
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Sullivan, his old buddy from Florida, and he said
<v Speaker 1>he forgot to mention it earlier. He wanted to say it.
<v Speaker 2>He then says, well, good, now you can throw it
<v Speaker 2>out now you said it.
<v Speaker 1>So Hall gets dropped. He tags in. Nash tagged him
<v Speaker 1>Meng as well, who charges in headlong and they just
<v Speaker 1>are throwing in close quarters. You got to see this
<v Speaker 1>battle between Kevin Nash and Meng Man.
<v Speaker 2>No one's giving an inch.
<v Speaker 1>Whipped to the corner and Nash kills Meng with a
<v Speaker 1>charging clothes line, a body slam and an elbow drop,
<v Speaker 1>but that misses and Knobs gets blind tag Dan. Gotta
<v Speaker 1>love how long Knobs growls before doing anything in the
<v Speaker 1>wrestling ring. Yep, minutes of growling. Confusion, of course is
<v Speaker 1>now as you would expect on commentary, run who's actually
<v Speaker 1>legal in this thing? As Barbarian gets cornered and SAgs
<v Speaker 1>comes with the front back breaker gets a count of one.
<v Speaker 1>Why wouldn't the outsiders run in to stop that? Cover
<v Speaker 1>that their titles are slipping through their fingers and they're
<v Speaker 1>just watching it. Knobs is backed into the faces of
<v Speaker 1>fear corner and with a huge pile driver on Brian Knobbs.
<v Speaker 1>SAgs breaks up the cover tag to SAgs, who has
<v Speaker 1>Meng on him, some corner chops and an Irish whipon.
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Saggs goes over to the Outsiders corner and gets
<v Speaker 1>barged big time, taged to Hall and here we go
<v Speaker 1>Haul clip in the face. It's Scott Hall versus Jerry SAgs.
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen watch closely. SAgs picks up Hal and
<v Speaker 1>atomic drops him and then a huge low bro low
<v Speaker 1>blow right in referee Mark Curtis's face, and he does
<v Speaker 1>absolutely nothing about it. Of course, it all collapses and
<v Speaker 1>tags Meng at the last second as he's going down
<v Speaker 1>in agony, Meng pops Knobs right in the gut stand
<v Speaker 1>off with Megan Knobs. All this activity suddenly calms write
<v Speaker 1>the fuck down as if someone had pulled the Jenga
<v Speaker 1>piece out of this matchup. And they both what they're
<v Speaker 1>doing is they're both deciding we have to stop fighting
<v Speaker 1>each other, the nasties and the faces of fear. We
<v Speaker 1>need to get the outsiders pitted against each other so
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna out smart the outsiders. They both lunge and
<v Speaker 1>tag Haul and Nash, and now they have to wrestle
<v Speaker 1>each other. The crowd pops in realization of what this means,
<v Speaker 1>and very quickly Tony picks this up and says, wait
<v Speaker 1>a second, they can rest each other, but if they
<v Speaker 1>just lay down and one pins the other, they keep
<v Speaker 1>the titles and win the match. Yeah, this wasn't the
<v Speaker 1>brilliant plan that the Nasties thought it was. Leave it
<v Speaker 1>up to the Nasties to come up with, I know,
<v Speaker 1>like the most obvious downside ever of a master plan.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like you know, that's that's the thing, Like
<v Speaker 1>they don't think shit through close. So they do that
<v Speaker 1>that they drop down from the apron, do the faces
<v Speaker 1>of fear in the Nasty so they can't tag out
<v Speaker 1>Halla nash That gets a big pop when they do that,
<v Speaker 1>But then Nashli says, fuck this and it's the original
<v Speaker 1>fingerpoke of doom.
<v Speaker 2>He lays flat. I honestly think like this should have
<v Speaker 2>been We never would have stopped, We never would have
<v Speaker 2>forgotten it if they pulled it off. Yep.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean it wouldn't have been good from a
<v Speaker 1>spectator perspective, but it would have been novel. Yeah, and
<v Speaker 1>it's like, you know, it's memorable because absolutely they outsmarted
<v Speaker 1>everybody that's like, you should do that. They should have
<v Speaker 1>done it, but instead Hall covers him, and the Nasties
<v Speaker 1>run in and realize that they're fucking is holding up
<v Speaker 1>and stop the stop the cover. And he didn't likes it.
<v Speaker 1>He says, I've never seen anything like this, and you
<v Speaker 1>can tell he kind of genuinely means it, as knob said,
<v Speaker 1>digs his head into Nash's crotch. Jimmy Hart gets up
<v Speaker 1>up in the apron and gets nailed, and then Menga's
<v Speaker 1>backdropped out of the ring and here comes Scott Hall
<v Speaker 1>with the megaphone of Jimmy Hart nails Briannobbs in the
<v Speaker 1>head with it, and that sets up Kevin Nash hooking
<v Speaker 1>up the jackknife power bomb on Brian Knobbs. Way up
<v Speaker 1>into the lights, he hits the canvas hard one, two three.
<v Speaker 1>The Outsiders defeat the Faces of Fear in the Nasty
<v Speaker 1>Boys sixteen eleven in a triangle tag match here to
<v Speaker 1>retain the Belts at World War three nineteen ninety six.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty says he's going to join something, but then he says,
<v Speaker 1>not yet. I don't know who's talking about. There. I
<v Speaker 1>guess he means himself, and he would eventually join the nWo.
<v Speaker 1>So the outsiders suck and wind up the aisle. Welcome
<v Speaker 1>to WCW. They here fucking spent and it's gonna be
<v Speaker 1>hard out here for him for a little while. And
<v Speaker 1>then here we go, ready for the big three ring
<v Speaker 1>battle Royal Tony and Heenan and Dusty the ringside, deciding
<v Speaker 1>he'll get the title shot, and Heenan keeps putting over
<v Speaker 1>Dee Malenko as his favorite to win. Says he's got
<v Speaker 1>the size to not get tossed out of the ring.
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting, claiming that small stature is an advantage in
<v Speaker 1>a battle. Royal, I haven't heard that one before. Dusty says,
<v Speaker 1>home kind of makes sensely, they're more nimble, they can
<v Speaker 1>hide more, they can they can just lay on the
<v Speaker 1>mat and clutch the ropes, you know, get out of dodge.
<v Speaker 1>Dusty says, Hogan and Piper goes deeper than the nWo
<v Speaker 1>and Eric Bischoff and all that and bad hip or no,
<v Speaker 1>it is the fight of the century coming up between
<v Speaker 1>those two. Dusty then leaves Tony Shiovanni and Bobby Heenan
<v Speaker 1>because he's going to pair up with Mike Tiney in
<v Speaker 1>a different ring, Lee Marshall and Larry'sibisco in Ring number three.
<v Speaker 1>Lee Marshall fully turtlenecked as you would expect. Oh yes, absolutely,
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, just covering up as best he
<v Speaker 1>can because he's ready to fucking drop Trout at any moment.
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. But he he talks about where vlarry about a match.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know, listen to him go here.
<v Speaker 2>He talks about Benjan Sullivan and I mean it sounds
<v Speaker 2>like he's talking about the Great American Bash Match. I
<v Speaker 2>think he might be there talking about a house show
<v Speaker 2>they had the night performed ball in another one.
<v Speaker 18>Oh why dude, that match between the task Master Kevin
<v Speaker 18>Sullivan and the Canadian crippler Chris Banhi And as we knew,
<v Speaker 18>it was going to go all over the building and
<v Speaker 18>it did. It wound up in the bathroom where the
<v Speaker 18>Dungeon of June lad In ambush And I gotta tell
<v Speaker 18>you what they did to Chris Benoir you just wouldn't believe.
<v Speaker 18>And I think that tonight something more is going to
<v Speaker 18>happen between the Horsemen and the Dungeon.
<v Speaker 10>It's the lap fall wrestling podcast, the wrestling podcast that
<v Speaker 10>knows the boys need their candy.
<v Speaker 7>It's the Lapsed Fan.
<v Speaker 10>He's an Lapsed Fan wrestling podcast with Jack and Carno
<v Speaker 10>and JP Soroka.
<v Speaker 1>For some reason, they decided to set up this whole
<v Speaker 1>thing where the Horseman Brawl don't even get in the ring.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's it's weird, like I don't why.
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I can only guess because they were trying to minimize
<v Speaker 1>crowding the ring so much, and that gives people, That
<v Speaker 1>gives the camera folks something you know, in the truck
<v Speaker 1>to focus on. Besides, you know, three rings completely filled
<v Speaker 1>and nothing happening. Yeah, they can just have this diversion
<v Speaker 1>of brawls in the outside. They even I don't know
<v Speaker 1>if Ben Wah got a black eye or what or
<v Speaker 1>they made them up to look like you got a
<v Speaker 1>black eye. But yeah, they' don'e a how show in
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore the night before where you know, it was a
<v Speaker 1>reprise of the Sullivan Ben Wah Bathroom Brawl American Bash.
<v Speaker 1>Then this program must continue, So to ring one, we
<v Speaker 1>go to Nay and Rhodes today says there is a
<v Speaker 1>tension backstage and Lee is clearing his throat on the
<v Speaker 1>hot mic is, Dusty says that Kanan looks good to
<v Speaker 1>him as a potential winner of World War three, and
<v Speaker 1>he also says, you got to go with Luga. The
<v Speaker 1>mindset is on sting though, so even though Luger has
<v Speaker 1>the on paper advantages, he believes the task Master has
<v Speaker 1>laid out a plan. Dusty believes this to really get
<v Speaker 1>this thing going ick and dream.
<v Speaker 7>I'll tell you what I Mike.
<v Speaker 8>You know the situation that the importance of this situation
<v Speaker 8>is the smaller guy, the cruise away. We know how
<v Speaker 8>great they are and what they've meant to WCW. I
<v Speaker 8>don't know what kind of chance they stand in with
<v Speaker 8>all these big guys except stand Away and everything. Koonad
<v Speaker 8>looks good to me. Luga looks good to me in
<v Speaker 8>this situation right here, because he's coming off a real
<v Speaker 8>power of thing. But if Luca's mind sent is on sting,
<v Speaker 8>I don't know if he could get it done. But
<v Speaker 8>bottom line two, Mike, is that I believe the task
<v Speaker 8>Master has laid out a plan maybe to get this
<v Speaker 8>thing going. Then it's going to throw that triangle to
<v Speaker 8>the most devastating thing that we have seen with a pipe,
<v Speaker 8>a fine in and everything in.
<v Speaker 1>A like what what Yeah, that's why I played it.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, oh my god. He just starts naming things
<v Speaker 1>that cross his mind. He says mind sent instead of mindset.
<v Speaker 1>He says Conat instead of Conan, which is actually kind
<v Speaker 1>of funny. Uh So Lee Marshall likes Kevin Nash in
<v Speaker 1>this thing, and does Abisco reluctantly picks lex Luger, duss
<v Speaker 1>he's going with Lexa Conan. Tonay picks Luger, and of
<v Speaker 1>course Bobby Heeneim with Dean Malenko. Tony Shavanni because he
<v Speaker 1>knows the fucking script picks the giant. So that's can't
<v Speaker 1>amount to Russo picking Brett Hart to win the ninety
<v Speaker 1>seven Rumble on Live Wire. Yeah right, So they're showing
<v Speaker 1>all the names on the screen scrolling and Lou Grenetti
<v Speaker 1>the first to step out, and there's Tony Rumble. There
<v Speaker 1>is Tony Rumble in a fucking Drew Bledsoe Patriots jersey
<v Speaker 1>in case you forgot it was nineteen ninety six pre
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady, and he is he looks like a guy
<v Speaker 1>who's having a barbecue in Woolburn on a Saturday in October. Absolutely,
<v Speaker 1>he's got a fucking bandana on and blessed the man.
<v Speaker 1>He was a promoter in New England, an Indian promoter
<v Speaker 1>in New England who booked Kevin Sullivan on Indies all
<v Speaker 1>the time. A fellow Boston boy and real named Anthony Magliaro,
<v Speaker 1>he passed away untimely, aged forty three, just two years
<v Speaker 1>after a pardon three years after this World War three
<v Speaker 1>matchup on November sixteenth, nineteen ninety nine. Here's his obituary
<v Speaker 1>from the Boston Herald. Anthony D. Magliario, overvia professional wrestler,
<v Speaker 1>died of a heart attack Saturday at the Wooden Memorial
<v Speaker 1>Hospital in Everett.
<v Speaker 2>He was forty three.
<v Speaker 1>Born in Boston, mister mcgario, aka the Boston bad Boy
<v Speaker 1>Tony Rumble achieved his first national exposure as a wrestler
<v Speaker 1>with International Championship Wrestling. So he goes back to the
<v Speaker 1>savoldi ICW.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>He went on to become talent coordinator and producer of
<v Speaker 1>the company's nationally syndicated television show and later worked for ECW.
<v Speaker 1>He also appeared several times on WCW. He stated the
<v Speaker 1>Century he started rather the Century Wrestling Alliance in nineteen
<v Speaker 1>eighty nine, and again promoting events regularly in nineteen ninety three,
<v Speaker 1>when he met Cable Axis television producer Pat Doyle to
<v Speaker 1>get of course the guy named Pat Doyle is involved.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, come on listen. Oh yeah, I know. We're very
<v Speaker 2>good with the that's the market. Yeah yeah, Look, we
<v Speaker 2>were very good with the greater Boston market. Yeah, especially
<v Speaker 2>the Turkey. I do like the Turkey.
<v Speaker 1>Conva Sama together, very good, very good there. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know why they named it after Cava, but I would
<v Speaker 1>name I would name it after Plumouth. I mean that's
<v Speaker 1>the thing. They have a cava in Cava.
<v Speaker 2>Now to get you really got a common cover? You
<v Speaker 2>have that, huh yeah yeah, Now listen, I'll tell you
<v Speaker 2>we get the We got great options here regarding the
<v Speaker 2>account of public access you know, television. I'll tell you
<v Speaker 2>we you know, we we are without a doubt. I
<v Speaker 2>can tell you, I can tell you this with a
<v Speaker 2>you know, without without without any kind of lie, that
<v Speaker 2>we are as big of a station as w CBB
<v Speaker 2>easily and on Channel five G you know, we got
<v Speaker 2>we got the same uh you know, I'll say even
<v Speaker 2>we have better uh you know, studio equipment. Then they
<v Speaker 2>got over Channel five. Absolutely, you know, I mean we
<v Speaker 2>have public access, so I think, you know, it's a
<v Speaker 2>good option for you. Together.
<v Speaker 1>They pretend used a long running cable access program that
<v Speaker 1>at nine ninety seven became the New England representative of
<v Speaker 1>the National Wrestling Alliance. Yeah, when the nw A was
<v Speaker 1>kind of revitalized. I guess you could say when Dan
<v Speaker 1>Severn was champed in the late nineties. Yeah, they were
<v Speaker 1>an affiliate, all right.
<v Speaker 2>I love that. He's you know, he was billed from
<v Speaker 2>the Combat Zone. Was he in Boston? Yes, that's fucking amazing.
<v Speaker 1>The same year the company became known as NBA New
<v Speaker 1>England Pro Wrestling I remember that, and ran close to
<v Speaker 1>thirty live events throughout New England. He survived by his wife,
<v Speaker 1>two daughters, and a grandson, several uncles and cousins, and
<v Speaker 1>and here's a piece from Sheldon Goldberg, who was a
<v Speaker 1>longtime promoter of New England Championship Wrestling. A lot of
<v Speaker 1>big stars like Yoursina's and Sasha Banks and others who
<v Speaker 1>came from the area, and he Edwards and others passed
<v Speaker 1>through his his circuit, and he was close with Tony
<v Speaker 1>Brumble and he wrote this on November thirteenth, two thousand
<v Speaker 1>and six. It was seven years ago today that the
<v Speaker 1>Boston Bad Boy died suddenly of a massive heart attack.
<v Speaker 1>Most wrestling fans would have been familiar with Rumble from
<v Speaker 1>his hosting of Marius of Oldie's Old ICW later ic
<v Speaker 1>CW Boss.
<v Speaker 2>Hey there we go. Give me that the international world class.
<v Speaker 2>That is the circuit of him, like being an international
<v Speaker 2>world That's always the best part.
<v Speaker 1>TV shows around these parts. Tony Rumble Sheldon Wrights was
<v Speaker 1>the owner and promoter of the Century Wrestling Alliance later
<v Speaker 1>become NWA New England. His exposure on the ICW slash
<v Speaker 1>ICCW shows made him something of a local celebrity. He
<v Speaker 1>was street smart as opposed to book smart, and a
<v Speaker 1>tremendously effective promoter the CWANWA New England that dominated the area.
<v Speaker 1>As far as local promotion goes, Rumble had a knack
<v Speaker 1>of being able to pick up sold shows, events where
<v Speaker 1>a school or organization would buy the event for a
<v Speaker 1>set price and then promote events off of the sold show.
<v Speaker 2>While he was never what.
<v Speaker 1>You'd call wealthy or even well off, he did make
<v Speaker 1>a living from wrestling during much of the last five
<v Speaker 1>years of his life. At its best, Cwanwa, New England
<v Speaker 1>was a collection of top national and even some occasional
<v Speaker 1>international stars and some interesting local talent. Rumble also had
<v Speaker 1>what he called his whack pack guys who were there
<v Speaker 1>just to be amusing or entertaining. They gave the promotion
<v Speaker 1>any character, much like Rumble himself. Rumblell's friendships with the
<v Speaker 1>likes of Jim Cornett and Kevin Sullivan put the promotion
<v Speaker 1>in a very unique place in the late nineties, before
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of developmental territories that ww uses now. Rumbell
<v Speaker 1>was one of those few who had the ear of
<v Speaker 1>decision makers in then WWF and WCW. Marumble was also
<v Speaker 1>still friendly with FORMERCW protegees like Taz and Tommy Dreamer,
<v Speaker 1>as well as Paul Haman. In New England, Rumble dominated
<v Speaker 1>the local scenes such as it was at the time.
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Onwa New England was really the first quote
<v Speaker 1>unquote serious independent promotion in the region. The company had
<v Speaker 1>a cable access TV show called Mass Madness. I remember
<v Speaker 1>that we're hearing about it, I didn't watch it. Produced
<v Speaker 1>by a bright, young cable access producer named Pat Doyle.
<v Speaker 1>The production was fairly high quality for its time, and
<v Speaker 1>the shows had everything from great wrestling with top talent
<v Speaker 1>to funny wrap around segments. The show eventually made its
<v Speaker 1>way onto broadcast TV on an independent UHF station out
<v Speaker 1>of Derry, New Hampshire.
<v Speaker 2>Hey There Were.
<v Speaker 1>Show used a different format in broadcast TV and lasted
<v Speaker 1>sixteen weeks before the station wanted to change the deal
<v Speaker 1>and get paid for the show. A local car dealership,
<v Speaker 1>Atlantic Toyota, had agreed to sponsor the show, but pulled
<v Speaker 1>out at the last minute. It was a hard blow
<v Speaker 1>to Rumble, who passed away a few weeks later. Those
<v Speaker 1>who knew him remember him fondly. They remember him as
<v Speaker 1>a mentor who gave people a chance to perform who
<v Speaker 1>had never otherwise had that chance. He helped a lot
<v Speaker 1>of guys get into the national spotlight. He was larger
<v Speaker 1>than life character, always fun to be around, and quick
<v Speaker 1>with a great story. But the real person behind Tony
<v Speaker 1>Rumble was a lot more complex. Anthony David Maglio street
<v Speaker 1>kid whose parents died young. They had a lot of
<v Speaker 1>difficult childhood and life began in life with few bright spots.
<v Speaker 2>Come on, let's get it.
<v Speaker 1>One of Tony's joys as a boy were the monthly
<v Speaker 1>wrestling shows of the old Boston Garden. At a Garden
<v Speaker 1>show in nineteen sixty six, Brunoso Martino and Guerrilla Mond
<v Speaker 1>soon had a match with a ring broke in the
<v Speaker 1>middle of the match. It was the moment that Tony
<v Speaker 1>decided he wanted to be a wrestler, and years later
<v Speaker 1>he fulfilled that dream. He eventually took on the persona
<v Speaker 1>of the Boston bad Boy Tony Rumble, and that was
<v Speaker 1>when Tony's life really began. We began close friends over
<v Speaker 1>the last six years of his life. He loved wrestling
<v Speaker 1>with all his heart, as did his wife Ellen, their children,
<v Speaker 1>and his first grandson Hunter. Tony's sudden death through the
<v Speaker 1>New England wrestling scene inst at Turmoil Rumble was an
<v Speaker 1>irreplaceable commodity. His widow tried to put the promotion in
<v Speaker 1>hands that would continue the business, but they were to
<v Speaker 1>the wrong people for the job. Sheldon Goildberg writes, the
<v Speaker 1>solid business that Tony had built over six years and
<v Speaker 1>a half years crumbled within six months. Eventually, Tony's widow
<v Speaker 1>turned the operation over to Jason Delgata, who had wrestled
<v Speaker 1>Friend of Being New England as Jason Rage at the
<v Speaker 1>urgin of Ellen Melgalo, Jason radge I became Jason Rumble,
<v Speaker 1>the son of Tony quote unquote son. While Jason was
<v Speaker 1>no relation to Tony in real life, that promotion did
<v Speaker 1>continue under his direction, but Jason did not have the
<v Speaker 1>experience as either a wrestler or a businessman to be
<v Speaker 1>effective in either role. With Tony gone, it was inevitable.
<v Speaker 1>Sheldon writes that other promotions would spring up and try
<v Speaker 1>to occupy the same place a hall, and it held
<v Speaker 1>on the New England scene. By the time of his death,
<v Speaker 1>the business was changing rapidly. The SOULD shows became more
<v Speaker 1>difficult to get, and the ability to book top names
<v Speaker 1>from WWF andwcw dride up. It became clear, at least
<v Speaker 1>to me, that the region called for a different model
<v Speaker 1>for doing business. To try and imitate what Tony did
<v Speaker 1>would be impossible because so much of it worked because
<v Speaker 1>of him and his personality. I think about Tony Rumble
<v Speaker 1>every single day. He was one of those characters that
<v Speaker 1>simply don't exist anymore and probably never will again. And
<v Speaker 1>while I am sad that he is not here to
<v Speaker 1>lend his streetwise wisdom, humor and love to this world.
<v Speaker 1>I pray that he is happy wherever he is now,
<v Speaker 1>Rest in peace, my friend, Tony Rumble. I mean, can't
<v Speaker 1>be that happy he's dead. Oh I know, it can
<v Speaker 1>only be so happy. But there he is in the
<v Speaker 1>World War three for fifteen seconds.
<v Speaker 2>So he uh. In nineteen ninety four, he was reigned
<v Speaker 2>two fifty seven in the PWY five hundred, like he broke.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess he was in the lower of
<v Speaker 2>the the you know, the lower two fifty. But that's
<v Speaker 2>wild that he's even up there.
<v Speaker 1>He was one of those standout promoters, like you knew
<v Speaker 1>him and associated him with running this part of the country,
<v Speaker 1>and uh yeah, I remember him being around and a
<v Speaker 1>lot of difference towards him, I believe. I think it's
<v Speaker 1>the Secrets of Pro Wrestling revealed one of those Late Nights.
<v Speaker 1>I know Sheldon was on that one one of those
<v Speaker 1>late nineties ones kind of like try to stand hell
<v Speaker 1>to take you into like what it's like to book wrestling,
<v Speaker 1>And they show Sheldon in an office and they're sitting
<v Speaker 1>around talk about who's gonna win and lose, and Tony
<v Speaker 1>rumbles in that too. For those who might remember that
<v Speaker 1>what segment I'm talking about. All Right, all right, boys,
<v Speaker 1>watch the screw totally. I remember Sheldon Goldberg saying it's
<v Speaker 1>tantamount to like adults being able to play with their
<v Speaker 1>action figures, sitting around and deciding who's gonna win. Exactly
<v Speaker 1>what it is, exactly what it nailed it, He nailed it.
<v Speaker 1>Shout outs to Sheldon, Yeah, this is this gonna be
<v Speaker 1>a work or a shoot question? These are the questions
<v Speaker 1>we have here. We gotta figure out whether or not
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be a work or a shoot. And uh,
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't care which way we go either way.
<v Speaker 1>Count me out into many of Sheldon's shows and saw
<v Speaker 1>them all over the years. DDP Chaos, Robbie Rage, the
<v Speaker 1>other half of my voltage. This is the entrance order here.
<v Speaker 1>Michael wall Street, Marcus Bagwell, Scottie Briggs, Craig Pittman, Booker,
<v Speaker 1>t Stevie Ray Ray trailer humorous. You know what, while
<v Speaker 1>we did talk about how guys who have to wrestle
<v Speaker 1>twice should complain, it's also on the flip side, like.
<v Speaker 2>Mike Rotundo, like didn't even It's like Jesus gonna sit
<v Speaker 2>back there and just you know, fucking yeah, jerk off,
<v Speaker 2>like getting in.
<v Speaker 1>The ring ice cold, that's true, that's can't be ideal, and.
<v Speaker 2>Then getting in the ring with ice training.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he's coming up going and Ron Reese, Regal
<v Speaker 1>Parka Pezo who just debuted, by the way, Lapark had

<v Speaker 1>he's high at Fallen, Nash and Giant doing the Wolfpack
<v Speaker 1>hand sign. Nash has a cup of something in his hand.
<v Speaker 1>He's having a drink. Scott Nordonaldiwal Dragon, Jimmy Graffiti, that's right,
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Delray in a neon colored hat. Jimmy Graffiti coming
<v Speaker 1>into the company the Meltzer reported Jimmy Graffiti. The WWF
<v Speaker 1>ceased booking him based on an investigation into acclaimed incident
<v Speaker 1>by Jerry McDevitt, but no lawsuit was ever filed. Del
<v Speaker 1>Ray was not a wrestling mainstream because of the incident.
<v Speaker 1>It had something to do with like an underaged girl old.
<v Speaker 1>There's a big, long story about it, but that's always
<v Speaker 1>in a hotel caught in a hotel with with with
<v Speaker 1>an underaged girl, not in like the room and the
<v Speaker 1>throes of passion. But like you know, it was a
<v Speaker 1>story some guys like Nash would tell I think and stuff.

<v Speaker 2>Sullivan's outfit, and they call him Jack Hogan. Fuck, the
<v Speaker 2>most generic name ever.
<v Speaker 1>It comes out thinking the crowd is going to be
<v Speaker 1>so fired up to see him, and they're like, what
<v Speaker 1>is this guy doing? They let him out of the home.
<v Speaker 2>What is he doing? Sure, says Jack, Look, Jack Hogan,
<v Speaker 2>I might be here for it. I might be okay,
<v Speaker 2>Jack Hogan. He's out pointing cup in his ear, like
<v Speaker 2>totally against type from Buddaly Parker and Hogan's backstage.
<v Speaker 1>Look, I'm not to judge, brother, but I just don't
<v Speaker 1>know what you're thinking of putting all the eggs in
<v Speaker 1>the Buddily Parker basketball. Anyone would ever push this man
<v Speaker 1>like he would ever have a prayer of winning a
<v Speaker 1>single belt, let alone the world title and getting repackaged?
<v Speaker 1>Is Jack Hogan freak wearing the fan? An assemblyman who
<v Speaker 1>got indicted Jack Hogan from fucking New Rochelle, the representative
<v Speaker 1>from New Rochelle, Jack Hogan, fucking born in the South Shore.
<v Speaker 1>He hears the Buddy the Parker had been renamed Jack
<v Speaker 1>Boot and he goes and has that exact conversation with
<v Speaker 1>Kevin self. Well the title on him, dude, I mean yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I just mm hmmm, I mean I know I feel
<v Speaker 1>the same way, Terry. Actually, I'm also at lost for
<v Speaker 1>words as to what to say to this. It's like
<v Speaker 1>Brad losing the title on the way out. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>you want to just walk into the dress room giving
<v Speaker 1>the title right now?
<v Speaker 2>Brother? So here you go. Do you know you're champion now?
<v Speaker 2>Brother Hulko.
<v Speaker 1>They're going to go in a different direction tonight. It's
<v Speaker 1>one two three, buddy, the paka over you for the
<v Speaker 1>for the title, for the strap.
<v Speaker 2>What just April fools?
<v Speaker 1>He freaks out, He's like what he gets up off
<v Speaker 1>his book. You're telling me, no, wait a minute, that
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work for me. Brother, dude, I'm not taking this
<v Speaker 1>creative brother, and I have creative control. Ah huh, great
<v Speaker 1>retort from Sully. Wonderful counterpart. Ah, that's what happened. That's
<v Speaker 1>what happens when you stand between Kevin Sullivan and his
<v Speaker 1>master stroke of putting the belt on Jack Boot, Jack.
<v Speaker 2>Hogan, Hogan, Terry.
<v Speaker 3>Jack Boot.
<v Speaker 2>What to the locker room? Everyone else is sitting around
<v Speaker 2>Hogan's dressing with the boys. He's just Jack Boot. He
<v Speaker 2>says that. He doesn't say he's gonna win, Darry Jack Boot.
<v Speaker 2>It goes book.
<v Speaker 7>What's coming?
<v Speaker 2>Happy right now? I am not ready for this Boot me, brother,
<v Speaker 2>what he's looking left to right?
<v Speaker 7>What I'm doing?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, where's the boot coming from? Give me a heads
<v Speaker 2>up there.
<v Speaker 1>The food coming from to hit him in the face.
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's enough, buddy, the Parker. We're never gonna
<v Speaker 1>get through this. Here comes him dug into a pop
<v Speaker 1>Ben one woman. Okay, as uncomfortable as that is to
<v Speaker 1>look at. His face is destroyed from the beforementioned Baltimore brawl,
<v Speaker 1>moving tude, the French Canadians, Prince sayaka who's in the
<v Speaker 1>company already? Which I forgot? Dean malinko oh yes, yeah
<v Speaker 1>he came in ninety six if Jarrett fresh as a daisy,
<v Speaker 1>completely no selling the fucking choke slam where he almost
<v Speaker 1>got put through the floor. He's coming out all smiles,
<v Speaker 1>prim and proper, Bobby eating, Jim Powers, Dave Taylor, Chris Jericho,
<v Speaker 1>Alex Right, Mark Starr, j L Viano, Rick Steiner, Kevin
<v Speaker 1>Solom with Jimmy Hart and yeah, that's that, and here
<v Speaker 1>we go. World War three is underway. Nine ninety six.
<v Speaker 1>Lee Marshall explodes, saying over in Ring three, Ben Wall
<v Speaker 1>and Sullivan are taking over a zarn Anderson runs up
<v Speaker 1>on the crew ring side.
<v Speaker 2>It was like I planned on taking over a couple
<v Speaker 2>of ladies after the event and I taking him over
<v Speaker 2>and flipping them over, Tony. Let me tell you, Tony,
<v Speaker 2>there ain't nothing better than that for w W pay
<v Speaker 2>per view, taking a fine woman and just betting her
<v Speaker 2>over a table and going to Lea.
<v Speaker 1>Marshall's signature move is definitely flipping from Missionary to Doggie
<v Speaker 1>in ten seconds, you know, like flip like she's airborne.
<v Speaker 2>Listen, like like she spins on his cock. Unbelievable, all right,
<v Speaker 2>Like it's like never he never leaves believable. Stay like
<v Speaker 2>just like he's a fucking day he has that dog
<v Speaker 2>in him. Oh yeah, so yes, the ben Wan Sullivan
<v Speaker 2>arn Anderson runs up on the crew ring side and
<v Speaker 2>it's on the horsemen are brawling with the I just
<v Speaker 2>want to say, Tony pay w W pay per View
<v Speaker 2>doesn't finish until I finish, the.
<v Speaker 1>Big finish, the hottest finish in the business.
<v Speaker 2>It's not DDP, it's my semen, he says on the air.
<v Speaker 1>It's when I'm finishing in Missionary and spin her around
<v Speaker 1>so her head is running under my balls. And Ray
<v Speaker 1>Trailer also getting involved in this ring side fight.
<v Speaker 2>I'd like that shaggerly tea bag.
<v Speaker 1>That's funny, Like Lee Marshall, like spends five thousand dollars
<v Speaker 1>on a high end prostitute just to tongue his balls
<v Speaker 1>while he jerks off. That's all he asked her to do.
<v Speaker 1>She didn't have to get naked or anything. And the
<v Speaker 1>thing is like, he's got no he you know, no
<v Speaker 1>pant obviously, no pants on, nothing like that. But he's
<v Speaker 1>still wearing the hurdle neck in a blazer.
<v Speaker 2>Keep it classy, San Diego, creams on it. Oh jesus,
<v Speaker 2>what is he? But's he driving one hundred twenty miles
<v Speaker 2>an hour? Is he weaving on the five?
<v Speaker 12>Like?
<v Speaker 9>What?
<v Speaker 19>Oh?
<v Speaker 7>That's the noisy bats?
<v Speaker 19>Oh?
<v Speaker 8>That was Goose?
<v Speaker 18>Is it?
<v Speaker 2>Or is it not? World War three ninety six? On
<v Speaker 2>that fucking cast bitch? What's good?
<v Speaker 19>Oh?
<v Speaker 3>Shit?
<v Speaker 2>Didn't I say he had a vodka Collins? Did he
<v Speaker 2>say that? I miss that. I wrote that down. I
<v Speaker 2>think he said he had a box.
<v Speaker 1>He said something when he was walking to the ring
<v Speaker 1>with a drink in his hand, but I couldn't.
<v Speaker 2>Make it out. He fucking walks in drinking Christ a.
<v Speaker 1>Giant didn't have a cigarette in his face, So Ben
<v Speaker 1>Wan Sullivan are locked in Mortal Kombat. Here is Sully
<v Speaker 1>steps over the rail like he's supposed to be thrown
<v Speaker 1>over the rail, but he steps over it like as
<v Speaker 1>carefully as a senior citizen, and they're thrown in the audience.
<v Speaker 1>So just go, says I'm out of here. They're right
<v Speaker 1>near him. But the three cameras now, for the first
<v Speaker 1>time we see the Hollywood squares. Yeah, he says, there's
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty hands going at one time. I'm
<v Speaker 1>scared to death out here. Yeah, he probably was.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Today with the first person saying anything about the actual battle,
<v Speaker 1>Royal in formulas that Scottie Riggs has just been saved
<v Speaker 1>from elimination thanks Professor Trailer is of.
<v Speaker 2>All the people like who cares about Scottie Riggs.
<v Speaker 1>Trailer and Sully and Ben ware Up and the people
<v Speaker 1>you know in the audience fighting On one camera, Ben
<v Speaker 1>was now tumbling down the stairs of the arena of
<v Speaker 1>the Norfolk Scope. When they do a takeover with this
<v Speaker 1>frame for a moment, ben WA's face all busted up
<v Speaker 1>and now mangoes to the floor. He's he's battling and
<v Speaker 1>you can hear Lee Marshall. Go ah, he's right in
<v Speaker 1>the middle of this, He says. The nWo is in
<v Speaker 1>one corner together and they're not moving to throw anybody out.
<v Speaker 1>They are just striking up position and chilling. Ben Wah
<v Speaker 1>on the table. Now that Lee Marshalls announced, table getting
<v Speaker 1>worked over. Lee can't hear a thing. His ship's unplugged.
<v Speaker 1>They suddenly point out that Ron Studd has all the
<v Speaker 1>attributes to win the Battle Royal. That's good to know, Lee,
<v Speaker 1>except Stardom. I know it's the only one missing. He
<v Speaker 1>lets out another Ah. He's on the floor getting stomped.
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden, beaten, all of a sudden start
<v Speaker 1>attacking Lee Marshall, like commanding him to sell. It's almost like,
<v Speaker 1>Lee Marshall, this is a rib Like there's no way
<v Speaker 1>Lee Marshall was told because the way he's selling is
<v Speaker 1>so uncertain and so like, yeah, improvised. You know, he
<v Speaker 1>doesn't because he's supposed to be announcing. How can he
<v Speaker 1>sell the barbarian kicking his head inappropriately.
<v Speaker 3>Don't kick the cock.
<v Speaker 2>Don't kick the cock. I got to use later tonight.
<v Speaker 1>The other announcers aren't even watching what's happened. They don't
<v Speaker 1>even care that Lee Marshall is getting destroyed.
<v Speaker 2>Which I also kind of goes in like makes you
<v Speaker 2>think it might have been not planned because nobody, nobody responds.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely like they're like, what do we do with this?
<v Speaker 1>I totally I agree. I don't know. This just crossed
<v Speaker 1>my mind. I was racking my brain trying to think,
<v Speaker 1>if there's any cameo candidates, it is Larry's Abisco and
<v Speaker 1>cameo yeah he is, so yeah, that's the challenge to
<v Speaker 1>the well meaning members of the Solar System asca Larry's Abisco.
<v Speaker 1>I forgot to do it if Lee Marshall expected to
<v Speaker 1>be attacked by WCW wrestlers at World War three nineteen
<v Speaker 1>ninety six, or if you found himself having to improvise.
<v Speaker 1>Tony makes the surprise announcement in fact, all the four
<v Speaker 1>Horsemen and all the Dungeon of Doom are actually out
<v Speaker 1>of the Battle Royal now as a result of this.
<v Speaker 1>So that's a quick way to get a whole bunch
<v Speaker 1>of motherfuckers out.
<v Speaker 2>Which I don't understand at all. Qualified from a battle
<v Speaker 2>that makes like they didn't enter, they never got in
<v Speaker 2>the ring. And there was a time period by which
<v Speaker 2>I had to get in there or you're out. I
<v Speaker 2>guess it makes heavy start by Arn Anderson, Ben Wa Sullivan,
<v Speaker 2>Dungeon of doom. Uh not the guys you want to
<v Speaker 2>have just qualified in in a in a in a
<v Speaker 2>in a match that features about half fucking jobs. Mango.
<v Speaker 1>It's like all these guys you never see them at all.
<v Speaker 1>So bringside. The brawling continues, and the and the barbarian
<v Speaker 1>has the French Canadian's flag and he's choked. He's being
<v Speaker 1>choked with it. Uh, Sibisco says, Tony Lee Marshall is
<v Speaker 1>on the floor, he's trying to hold his chest and selling.
<v Speaker 1>Not the first time barbarian keeps getting stomps off on him.
<v Speaker 2>And not the and not the last time. Tonight he'll
<v Speaker 2>be on the floor.
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street trying to eliminate Luger. Good luck with that.
<v Speaker 2>We need some you know.
<v Speaker 1>And then Zubisco just calls the s O s He says,
<v Speaker 1>we need some medical attention here for for Lee Marshall.
<v Speaker 7>Last night when we were alive in World War three.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this is the next ant of Nitro. They make
<v Speaker 1>comment about the position Lee Marshall found himself in on
<v Speaker 1>this pay per view. All right, and then he delivers
<v Speaker 1>from the road. It didn't stop him from hitting the
<v Speaker 1>next college town, that's for sure. Listen, listen, he's got
<v Speaker 1>co Ed's to pound touchdown real fucking hard.
<v Speaker 6>Last morning, when we were lying World War three, there
<v Speaker 6>was a man caught in the line of fire. And
<v Speaker 6>here is in one of our broadcasters, and that is
<v Speaker 6>Lee Marshall. As a matter of fact, we're not so
<v Speaker 6>sure what's left Lee Marshall, But what's left of him
<v Speaker 6>it's with us this week and our won eight hundred
<v Speaker 6>collect road report. And Lee, we understand you're in Dayton, Ohio,
<v Speaker 6>and how in the world are you doing?
<v Speaker 18>Tony a little bit better than Bruise, but doing a
<v Speaker 18>whole lot better. Since the fans invited me to their
<v Speaker 18>Monday Night throw party here in Dayton. Everybody excited about
<v Speaker 18>the Ohio State Buckeyes, of course going to the Rose Bull,
<v Speaker 18>but really pumped up about next Monday. What Monday Night
<v Speaker 18>Trow comes to the Hara Arena in Dayton. Let me
<v Speaker 18>invite our fans back from all the southern Ohio jump
<v Speaker 18>by that good old Dixie Highway, join us a week
<v Speaker 18>from tonight in Dayton. We got tickets on sale of
<v Speaker 18>the haar will read a box office and all taken
<v Speaker 18>master Outlus gotta go. We gotta hitting the tailor on
<v Speaker 18>the weasel thing going on. That's your one eight hundred
<v Speaker 18>collect Road report Updaton, Ohio. Ive Lee Marshall for one
<v Speaker 18>eight hundred collect.
<v Speaker 10>It's the lap Call Wrestling Podcast, the wrestling podcast that
<v Speaker 10>knows the boys need their candy. It's the Lapsed Fan.
<v Speaker 10>He's the Lapsed Fan Wrestling podcast with Jack and Carnacio
<v Speaker 10>and JP Sooro.
<v Speaker 7>Well you noticed me Marshall with faith down last night
<v Speaker 7>at this party. You'll probably faith down again. Yeah, you
<v Speaker 7>never know. He went he went out for cigarettes. Three
<v Speaker 7>people step in his hands.
<v Speaker 2>Here we go. Oh shit, so good. You know what
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand. Lee Marshall was born in la He
<v Speaker 2>died in Santa Monica. Yet he sounds like he's from
<v Speaker 2>the South.
<v Speaker 1>Think so, I don't think he sounds like he's from
<v Speaker 1>the South at all.
<v Speaker 2>I heard him. I tell you he doesn't.
<v Speaker 1>Oh he does.
<v Speaker 2>Listen to him, Yeah, listen to him when he talks.
<v Speaker 1>So Eddie comes over the top and slides in Eddie Guerrero.
<v Speaker 1>That is Lee's and Ring three looking for the backup
<v Speaker 1>and Sibisco says he's not quite coherent yet.
<v Speaker 2>So we don't have him yet.
<v Speaker 21>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>They point out that the bous and bad boy is
<v Speaker 2>on the floor board that you see him on the floor.
<v Speaker 1>He's out somehow, I don't know.
<v Speaker 18>Yep.
<v Speaker 2>Here this is a dusty. Dusty mentions it. Here, here
<v Speaker 2>we go in ring number one, Tony Rumble has just
<v Speaker 2>been eliminated.
<v Speaker 7>Tony Rumble out of ring number one. Tony Rumble is out.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, dust breaking news. What the fuck can run out?
<v Speaker 9>Baby A fought a foot but I didn't fit beforehand.
<v Speaker 1>You talked about how disorienting the three camera look was.
<v Speaker 1>At one point he literally had the same camera angle
<v Speaker 1>in two of the three squares. I'm not even using
<v Speaker 1>the real estate. I mean, what are we doing here?
<v Speaker 1>Gets thrown out. Jeff Jarrett is riding the top rope
<v Speaker 1>like a horse, preventing elimination. Legos, how am I doing?
<v Speaker 1>How do you think I'm doing? You understand that while
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting my you're just standing there, he says to Zubisco.
<v Speaker 1>While I'm getting my brain's kicked in, Larry, I'll.
<v Speaker 2>Tell you you know what, Larry. Later on, I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>be standing there getting my brains fucking out, and you
<v Speaker 2>know what, you're not gonna be there with me. You
<v Speaker 2>can watch me get nutted.
<v Speaker 1>Boss Larry has nothing to say, by the way, while
<v Speaker 1>he takes him to task, talking over everybody, no clue
<v Speaker 1>if he's on the air. Tremendous Viano's loading up, Jeff
<v Speaker 1>Jarrett with hands he thinks he's gonna win the thing. Mike,
<v Speaker 1>you know, gets tossed. Lex Luga apparently just toss Laparka.
<v Speaker 19>Well.
<v Speaker 1>Why why aren't they just doing one ring at a time.
<v Speaker 1>Why can't we just say, okay, here's.
<v Speaker 2>Ring number one, I know. Why can't we look at
<v Speaker 2>little clips here and there of the individual rings? Why
<v Speaker 2>do we have to see all of them at the
<v Speaker 2>same fucking time.
<v Speaker 1>Tell the announcers that the next guy who's going to
<v Speaker 1>go out you just look to the announced booth and
<v Speaker 1>look for the high sign. That's when you know the
<v Speaker 1>camera's on your ring, and now do yep, and if
<v Speaker 1>it's not, you don't get eliminated.
<v Speaker 2>It's very simple. Talking to Lee Marshall, Lee, you're right, Lee, No,
<v Speaker 2>I'm not all right, Graffiti, I don't even know anymore
<v Speaker 2>if I'm all right, you know, I just kept on
<v Speaker 2>going and reminded me of the last time I was
<v Speaker 2>at a nice roll party and I just had my
<v Speaker 2>cock and some ladies and it just kept going. Jim
<v Speaker 2>and Graffiti almost tossed Ray out of the things, by
<v Speaker 2>the way. It just kept going. What that is it?
<v Speaker 2>Whatever it is? Yes, it kept going.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the NWL was only made moves as a gang
<v Speaker 1>so far, we're told, So I got to keep an
<v Speaker 1>eye on that's developing story. Pez Wallely is out via
<v Speaker 1>Rob Parker. Nobody cares interference. I can see Renegade on
<v Speaker 1>the floor selling, so apparently he's been eliminated. Galaxy is
<v Speaker 1>out of Ring two, we're told, though we can't see it.
<v Speaker 1>I see Rick Steiner laying on someone on the mat,
<v Speaker 1>literally laying down on top of them, so he's not
<v Speaker 1>going to get eliminated in that position. Hacksaw bounces until
<v Speaker 1>Mark Starr clears the top rope. He just like shakes
<v Speaker 1>the ropes over and over again. Rage from high voltage
<v Speaker 1>skins the cat. He wants to win this thing. Chris
<v Speaker 1>Jericho suplexes Hoovy back in and tries to pin him.
<v Speaker 1>I swear to God. He tries to pin Wove and
<v Speaker 1>Dude Guerrera in the World War three battle round.
<v Speaker 2>He just doesn't he doesn't understand the rules.
<v Speaker 1>He's abisco doesn't say it, but I'm sure he can
<v Speaker 1>smell a New World odor down near his position. Good
<v Speaker 1>looks right in the green trunks. Who was underneath Rick
<v Speaker 1>Steiner comes up and gets some air. Prince Ikia eat
<v Speaker 1>shit as chaos is tossed into the ropes of the
<v Speaker 1>Alex Luger Today is reporting these eliminations like its donations
<v Speaker 1>coming into the Jerry Lewis talith On, you know, we
<v Speaker 1>just got one hundred, two hundred and fifty. We were
<v Speaker 1>going to reach our goal. Tony says members of the
<v Speaker 1>New World Order have gone nowhere. Surely he just means Virgil.
<v Speaker 1>When he says that, Dusty calls Ron Stud John Studd.
<v Speaker 1>Joe Gomez falls.
<v Speaker 2>To the floor. That's not surprising.
<v Speaker 1>The herd starting to thin a bit now. Lee Marshall
<v Speaker 1>keeps calling him Hove and Tude Guerrero over and over again,
<v Speaker 1>Eddie's brother, Dude, Hoo and Tuty.
<v Speaker 2>These announcers they're just talking and then all of a
<v Speaker 2>sudden someone just goes, oh, look out, yeah they I mean,
<v Speaker 2>and the thing is you keep hearing like everyone in
<v Speaker 2>the back. It's so sloppy. It's really one of the
<v Speaker 2>worst fucking matches ever.
<v Speaker 1>Go around the horn and Tony does a roll call
<v Speaker 1>of each ring and Today lists who's in his ring,
<v Speaker 1>and Tony lists who's in his ring and all of that,
<v Speaker 1>and Lee does the same. That's where he says Scott
<v Speaker 1>Steiner's in there, though Scott Steiner isn't.
<v Speaker 2>In the match.
<v Speaker 1>I believe Giant and Roadblock engage with the nWo watching
<v Speaker 1>Giant just beat this fat guy's ass. The Giant clothes
<v Speaker 1>lines Roadblock out and his head comes to rest on
<v Speaker 1>the guardrail. God blessed Roadblock, bunk House Buckshow was on
<v Speaker 1>the ropes? Spread Eagle Duggan's working the squire Dave Taylor
<v Speaker 1>over raised throwing the insane punches on the back of
<v Speaker 1>Disco Inferno's head, and Tony tells us he went under
<v Speaker 1>the bottom rope, so he is safe. Pittman with a
<v Speaker 1>stinger splash DDP two on Ron Reese. Now Disco is
<v Speaker 1>in the nwo's ring and Kevin Nash power bombs his ass.
<v Speaker 1>What if in the middle of this one of the
<v Speaker 1>rings exploded like FMW let.
<v Speaker 2>Me tell you, dude, it would have made the match
<v Speaker 2>ten times better.
<v Speaker 1>You don't know whis one, but one of them is
<v Speaker 1>going to explode at a certain moment.
<v Speaker 2>That's kinda that's what makes it World War three. You
<v Speaker 2>don't know which ring is going to explode it man,
<v Speaker 2>And that's actually how they determine, you know which ring
<v Speaker 2>to go into, is that they blow up two of
<v Speaker 2>the rings finally, and like the guys just fly, They
<v Speaker 2>fucking soar as the ring just blows.
<v Speaker 1>Ron Reese, the big Man comes out of the corner
<v Speaker 1>and takes a bump, and then the whole gang pigpile
<v Speaker 1>in the sky. Why you would do that in a.
<v Speaker 2>Battle Royal even I don't understand all that.
<v Speaker 1>They really prevent him from standing up in all possible way.
<v Speaker 2>And they they have. They really don't know how to
<v Speaker 2>book these kind of matches in It's very difficult.
<v Speaker 1>Timon's planning to get Rees up is to lock his
<v Speaker 1>hands like a Boston crab around his ankles and just
<v Speaker 1>to yank up no effect whatsoever. You're not gonna move
<v Speaker 1>a guy like that. Dusty makes reference to Recas instead.
<v Speaker 2>Of well he's talking about his pick. Is he that
<v Speaker 2>his still favorite, still in the match, he.
<v Speaker 8>Has, I said, Luga still in there, in there here, Yeah.
<v Speaker 7>He is still in the You're exactly right.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why he's calling over to Tony all
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden. He I think he's today.
<v Speaker 1>I think he knows it's funny that he said Recus.
<v Speaker 1>He knows it's Frecus. Fricus six is riding ultim a
<v Speaker 1>dragon's face. Dugan and joh Show are on the floor
<v Speaker 1>tussling when Pco makes the save. All this confusion about
<v Speaker 1>was that guy eliminated or is he just on the
<v Speaker 1>floor going under the ropes makes it so confusing. The
<v Speaker 1>least you can do in a scenario like this is
<v Speaker 1>not have anyone hit the floor who wasn't eliminated. Just
<v Speaker 1>give the announcers that confidence that if they see a
<v Speaker 1>guy on the floor, he's out of the match, so
<v Speaker 1>they can call it instead of be like, well, you know,
<v Speaker 1>we didn't see him go over, so maybe he just
<v Speaker 1>went under the bottom row. Who knows, who cares. Eddie
<v Speaker 1>Guerrero does a pascado to Regal plunging over the ropes.
<v Speaker 2>What a moron.
<v Speaker 1>He basically eliminates himself. The American males get eliminated at
<v Speaker 1>the same time, and there's big tension between the two.
<v Speaker 1>Of course, the next night Marcus Bagwell would turn on
<v Speaker 1>Scottie Riggs and they chantedt nwol when he did it,
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Eating tumbles out. So there goes my pick so
<v Speaker 1>much for that. Look's right with the clean drop kicks.
<v Speaker 2>You know we've all got we've all got you know,
<v Speaker 2>we've all got our pick right with a clean drop kick.
<v Speaker 2>Since Dave Taylor, I'm going, I'm going, I'm personally my
<v Speaker 2>my pick is Mike right, dumbs Dave Taylor in Mall Street.
<v Speaker 2>Here's where he says, here's Wheale Marshall sas Scott Steiner.
<v Speaker 2>Now Rick is on the Apron and Ray and Ultimore
<v Speaker 2>Dragon him doing Luca with the nWo watching like it's
<v Speaker 2>a fucking personal showing. They're getting. Rick came over to
<v Speaker 2>ring too.
<v Speaker 1>Larry Zabisco says, I don't think you could do that. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>you can't switch rings until the time is right. He's
<v Speaker 1>supposed to just dominate your ring and wait, yep, right exactly. Apparently,
<v Speaker 1>now the consolidation is happening, is Eddie, who apparently isn't
<v Speaker 1>eliminated throws TDP into the guardrail, and Tony questions, are
<v Speaker 1>they eliminated Eddie Guerow and Diamondall's page or so in
<v Speaker 1>this if you don't know, I don't know, Tony. Tony
<v Speaker 1>steps in and says, they're still They're still in. They
<v Speaker 1>were on their way to the ring number two when
<v Speaker 1>this brawl broke out. And I don't think that's true
<v Speaker 1>because I don't think we see him again. Despite the
<v Speaker 1>consolidation into one ring, we still have three squares on
<v Speaker 1>the screen. Okay, you tell me where the fuck's going.
<v Speaker 1>You can see Stevie Ray for multiple angles and multiple boxes.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I mean, who cares stop it?
<v Speaker 1>But the crowds, the crowd staying active, so must have
<v Speaker 1>been more to see in person.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're I'm sure I actually believe that it
<v Speaker 2>is that it must have must be more interesting to
<v Speaker 2>see because you can see spectacle, yeah, you know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all kinds of places you can train your focus.
<v Speaker 1>There's Jack Boot. He's still in there. He's dumped over
<v Speaker 1>the ropes and nudged out and fatigues like a moron.
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Grunge is back dropped out by DDP today, noting
<v Speaker 1>he just had knee surgeries. Johnny Grune has been eliminated.
<v Speaker 1>Grunge attacks Jack Boot on the outside. Is Luger is
<v Speaker 1>landing punches on the Giant, almost has him eliminated.
<v Speaker 2>He's loopy.
<v Speaker 1>Dean Malenko is now jumped dumped rather by Jeff Jard's
<v Speaker 1>BA and off slaps the ground like he actually cares
<v Speaker 1>that he lost the match and thought he was gonna win.
<v Speaker 1>So there goes Bobby Heenan's pick. Jim Powers is out
<v Speaker 1>as well. DDP gets out Craig Pittman, and Booker kind
<v Speaker 1>of pathetically is tossed in a low energy way out
<v Speaker 1>of the ring by Kevin Nash. Heenan screams, there I
<v Speaker 1>thought DDP dumb Pittman. DDP gets out Pittman yep, and
<v Speaker 1>then Booker is tossed by Nash. Heen In says, there
<v Speaker 1>goes my monitor. Someone must have kicked the table. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and they continue to call out Ron Studd as the
<v Speaker 1>big man in there.
<v Speaker 2>Most importantly, bunk house Buck is still in this.
<v Speaker 1>Sadly, if you're wondering at home, ddp's going Ham on
<v Speaker 1>Jericho in the corner and the Giant going ham when
<v Speaker 1>asked what he wants in his omelet. Finally, it looks
<v Speaker 1>like Nash is tossed Disco and uh Buck sails out
<v Speaker 1>for the business. Stevie pretends Eddie back dropped him and
<v Speaker 1>basically sidesteps him and sends himself out of the ring.
<v Speaker 1>Just like now, guys are just literally just throwing themselves
<v Speaker 1>out of this mat. Yeah, it's like it's like they
<v Speaker 1>get they were told, okay, we got to go to
<v Speaker 1>the hole. You can definitely see that, and we just
<v Speaker 1>start tossing people. Giant hugs Rick Steiner and tosses him.
<v Speaker 1>Ron Studd is finally dumped. After all that they after
<v Speaker 1>all that talk about him being the big man in
<v Speaker 1>the match, they barely even comment on his elimination as
<v Speaker 1>Luger back dropped him out of the match. Draggon his
<v Speaker 1>out courtesy of Ray Mysterio. Ray hangs on, they're describing
<v Speaker 1>all this, but we can't see it unfortunately.
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, it's just a fucking nightmare.
<v Speaker 1>And then calls out stand your own ring as Li says,
<v Speaker 1>what's the head count of that ring?
<v Speaker 2>Guys? And Heenhon goes sixty eight and Tinay cackles at
<v Speaker 2>that because it's like it's a silly question. Heene says,
<v Speaker 2>thank god they didn't ask Dusty, he'd have to take
<v Speaker 2>his boots off to count. What I don't understand is that,
<v Speaker 2>like for the majority of the of the final number
<v Speaker 2>of people, Okay, now that they've consolidated the rings, they've
<v Speaker 2>still got that three camera on.
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying. Like they have it on for
<v Speaker 1>way too long, multiple angles from the same hunter. Anyway,
<v Speaker 1>they shouldn't have had it anyway, But like, why is
<v Speaker 1>it so bad? It's so actively bad. Regal with a
<v Speaker 1>big European uppercut, Jericho's out. They keep saying, it doesn't
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't change, Like, it doesn't go to actual regular
<v Speaker 1>camera until there's basically seven minutes left on the in
<v Speaker 1>the show, you can tell they have a particular moment
<v Speaker 1>they want to go to the single camera and that's
<v Speaker 1>when they have the West Side story face off with
<v Speaker 1>the nWo guys, and not a moment before that, so
<v Speaker 1>they stick with the three camera. Regal gets a European
<v Speaker 1>uppercut sending out Jericho. They keep saying Rick Steiner is
<v Speaker 1>in there and he's been eliminated. They clarify after that
<v Speaker 1>ice train gets dumped, we have our moment finally where
<v Speaker 1>we've really thinned the herd, and in one ring it's
<v Speaker 1>nWo guys versus WCW guys. And that's when they go
<v Speaker 1>full screen, which is a good moment. It's like, okay,
<v Speaker 1>now we can care. They kind of dissolve away from
<v Speaker 1>the three box shot to this one camera and it's
<v Speaker 1>a DDP lex Luger, Raymistereo, Jeff Jarrett, Eddie Guerrero versus
<v Speaker 1>Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, the Giant in six and they
<v Speaker 1>say DDP is still kind of riding that fence, and
<v Speaker 1>he goes ahead and attacks Eddie Guerrero. Six gets behind
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Nash and Eddie's back dropped out sky high by
<v Speaker 1>Steve Riegal. Ray steps to Kevin Nash went off on
<v Speaker 1>him like a child trying to beat up his dad. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>today recalls the Disney trailer Lawn Dard incident with Kevin
<v Speaker 1>Nash and Raymisterio. Ray runs into the giant and with
<v Speaker 1>one hand, this is a memorable spot. With one hand,
<v Speaker 1>the giant picks up Raymisterio and a gorilla press and
<v Speaker 1>tosses him.
<v Speaker 2>Out of the Yeah, that's pretty wild. It looks great.
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty cool, Jeff Jarrett repeated shoulder bumps and DDP
<v Speaker 1>almost spills out of the brain. Hall with an atomic
<v Speaker 1>drop kicks Jeff Jarrett welled WWF callback. Here's Jeff Jarrett
<v Speaker 1>Scott Hall mix it up. He gets them up with
<v Speaker 1>the razor's edge, but Regal yanks Jeff Jarrett down to
<v Speaker 1>save him for god knows what reason, and the Jeff
<v Speaker 1>Yard's close lined out bysh Anyway, DDP charges and he's
<v Speaker 1>low bridged out of the match by Regal. Regles gained
<v Speaker 1>up on. Regels spend a lot more time in there
<v Speaker 1>with the nWo than you would think he's he's flying
<v Speaker 1>the WCV flag.
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of yeah, like who would have thought that shit?
<v Speaker 2>He's ganged up on.
<v Speaker 1>But the nWo, all of them forcing him slowly out
<v Speaker 1>of the ring and he hangs out intensely trying to
<v Speaker 1>stop it, but Haul rocks him with the right hand
<v Speaker 1>and Steve Regals out of the brumble or out of
<v Speaker 1>the battle royal and now Lex Luga rises and they
<v Speaker 1>come up and it's Lex Luger versus all four members
<v Speaker 1>of the nWo, and it's good stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Six yeah, and they all this is the I mean honestly,
<v Speaker 2>this is the way that this is again. You're making
<v Speaker 2>fucking Lugri a star. You so are because he goes off.
<v Speaker 2>You know, Six turns in and Luger ducks Hall. He
<v Speaker 2>starts fighting everyone at once. He ducks one guy, hits
<v Speaker 2>another guy, and then ducks one guy and hits another guy,
<v Speaker 2>and they get up for that as he's like picking
<v Speaker 2>his shots, taking one guy out after ducking the last
<v Speaker 2>guy's punch.
<v Speaker 1>Then Giant whips in. Luger charges and misses the corner
<v Speaker 1>and Luger gets him up on the top rope.
<v Speaker 2>The big man.
<v Speaker 1>He's hammicked up there, and Luger is kicking the shit
<v Speaker 1>out of Giant trying to get him out, and then
<v Speaker 1>he picks him up in the fucking torture rack. He's
<v Speaker 1>gonna rack him, so he's got him on the shoulders.
<v Speaker 1>When Six kicks Luger in the back, he drops the Giant,
<v Speaker 1>Scott Hall hooks up the razor's edge, but no lex
<v Speaker 1>Luger counters by backdropping Scott Hall up and out of
<v Speaker 1>the match. Dusty's screaming, come on, Luger, it's great. They're
<v Speaker 1>getting like WCW raw rob about it. Yep, and then
<v Speaker 1>Luger it's huge to drop backdropping haul out of the match,
<v Speaker 1>grabs six and tosses him down onto hall. Come on, Luger,
<v Speaker 1>he ducks the he ducks the big boot. I think
<v Speaker 1>of Kevin Nash and hits Kevin Nash in the head
<v Speaker 1>with a forearm and lifts Kevin Nash in the torture rack.
<v Speaker 1>He's got him up. He's gonna do this. He's gonna
<v Speaker 1>take out the whole nWo by himself. Luger is a superman,
<v Speaker 1>Tony Schiavanni declares. However, as he saunters over the ropes
<v Speaker 1>with Nash in the torture rack, Luger drops Nash and
<v Speaker 1>Jesse's is about to eliminate him. Giant sneaks up and
<v Speaker 1>tosses Luger at the same time Nash is falling out
<v Speaker 1>of the ring, and with that the Giant wins World
<v Speaker 1>War three nineteen ninety six the sixty man Battle Royal
<v Speaker 1>in twenty eight minutes and twenty one second to secure
<v Speaker 1>a world title shot. He then calls it the greatest
<v Speaker 1>Battle Royal in the history of this sport and the
<v Speaker 1>greatest pay per view we've ever seen. Pessner makes the
<v Speaker 1>announcement is they're screaming Pyro and you know they already
<v Speaker 1>start speculating what a shot at Hollywood Hogan would look
<v Speaker 1>like for the giant who's in the NWOL lukers on
<v Speaker 1>the floor making hand signals like it was four on one.
<v Speaker 1>You're damn lucky. There's luger chance. As the nWo raises
<v Speaker 1>the giants hands and do the outsider finger point, they
<v Speaker 1>pose for photos from ringside photographers took actually a legendary
<v Speaker 1>picture that I used to have and from WW magazine
<v Speaker 1>at this moment with everybody posted the wolfpack hands sign yep.
<v Speaker 2>Oh sure, yeah, I know you're talking about.
