Scratch that major itch. Welcome to another edition of The Major Rewind, a
show that takes some of the best, classic, ultimate, and major moments
from the Major Wrestling Figure podcast rich five year history, and I put it
together for new and old Major Marks to enjoy. I'm your host, the
man with the thousand dollars ten. You already know it's your boy, Jay
George, and my oh my, what an episode we have for you this
week on the Major Rewind. We are starting things off. You guys enjoyed
this year year's holiday classic, the retrospective look at the bone crunching action line
from Jack Specific. The boys did series one to five along with some extra
amenities. But did you know that a few years ago as part of the
Patreon bonus, they did a series going into a deep dive beyond series five,
and we have things going to five. This is just a samplers.
It's series six and seven, and if you want the rest, check out
the Patreon. They go all the way up to series nine. It's a
fun listen. And then we wrap things up with a classic one, two
three hit combo. It's the incarnation of John Morrison as long as we want,
as long as well as as well as a we want retros and the
classic QN. That's it. Sit back, relax and enjoy this show man
Like the CID is great. But like I said, is he? I
think I was still playing with Sid even though he was out of the WWF.
He was in the new WWF, still in my big bed. If
guys were in WCW like in real life, I would like retire them from
my bed. But if they were like in limbo like that, I'd probably
still use them. All right, Well, I guess weird rules I made
for myself. Now. I would say that series six came out in a
couple of months, but it didn't because, believe it or not, Jacks
was about to give up on the bone Crunches and Super Crazy. There there
was rumors all over the internet, rumors and to Marts. Is Tomarks still
a magazine? No? I don't think so. But the new direction is
that Jacks wanted to go with Stomp when we obviously we love Stomp now,
but then I mean I hated it well first off, at no point would
I love Stomp if it was the only right the main line. Well,
it's funny as like a novelty thing. Well, so they were gonna they
were gonna go in a new direction with Stomp and Slammers and the Legends and
Ripped and ruthless sets. Wow, and all that stuff died pretty quickly,
right, So, like Slammers were supposed to take over. Yeah, Slammers
is the main line. I think I would have eventually got used to it,
but i'd be upset. See Slammers one I think is hot garbage,
and Slammers two I think is fine. Slammers ones not look back. I
looked back, It's fine. But at the time I thought it was hot
garbage, I would I would refracer. I was like, why would I
guess? Because I was playing so actively with them, and I wasn't like
a little kid like, oh I need this gold let's to do a beer
hug. It's like, no, I can just do it in my fake
fed, my imagination, and I don't need buttons. And but like I
would never accept Slammers series one figures in my fake fed. But like Patriot,
in my opinion, that's a bone cruncher. Taka's a bone cruncher.
Yeah, because there's no other versions of them. That's why that's why you
think that way Okay, right, that is true. Pilman, Pilman,
Yeah, yeah, and Caine at that time, which was a very long
time, and they finally released them without the lever, right yeah, so
what Okay, so this year at Comic Con, you know how we got
no retros that was like toy Fair and Superstar series six. Man, that's
crazy, you know what I'm saying. I didn't. It wasn't as dramatic
though, because how much of a presence to like figure fans have on the
internet at this time, right, So like, luckily the Superstars came back
and hopefully the retros come back to hashag we want. Also, all this
information is relevant in the sense of, like how weirdly dated this set is
when it finally comes out Series six. Yeah, okay, so Series six
comes out the following fall. The following fall comes out, and there were
rumors, rumoring, in nuendo that this was supposed to be Slammer series three.
Now it's only rumor and innuendo. We do not have proof, we
don't have cold hard facts. This is pretty Jeremy Jack. So Jack,
we don't have a we can't ask him. But I loved the return of
the bone Crunchers and Superstars Series six. Now this now they were still doing
bone Crunchers. It just wasn't in the Superstar was line per se. I'm
trying to think, who did we get in that time frame? Though,
we must have got somebody who's like a straight up the tag teams are still
going no, because these are all come out like at the same time.
Yeah, you know what my memory shot. But we got something I know.
Slammers too is like out when we went to Summer ninety eight, right,
and these all come out this Christmas. So maybe we didn't get any
other bone crunches besides, like, for instance, like the Buried a Live
four pack of those weird four packs, which is now new actual figures Executioner
come on, Triple Threat had Yokozuna and like faces of Foley and then there's
some like repaints face to Folies later way later his Follies ninety eight. Yeah,
but that's after these, after series six, or at least the same
time, not before he said the dude love Slammer. Yeah, I think
it comes out a boy at the same time. So we got a couple
guys. Yeah, but no, that's not a lot. It's weird looking
back on it like that. That's true. Actually, so so serious.
Six again, not six new guys. But it's fine. And and the
is now they're a little more jacked up, a little bigger, little jacked.
Okay, little jacked. We picked up. We were told I remember,
like when we got our first jack. So there was that, like
their job is to uh embellish, you know, an actual figure supposed to
be embellished. Okay, you know, so it makes sense. Sure,
So in the line is Mark Merrow, marvelous Mark Marrow. Now we have
wild man. This was needed, but he's also like gone at this point.
No, he's not close to gun. No, I can't remember Mark
in ninety nine. We're at Christmas ninety eight here. Maybe you're right,
so this is marvelous figure though, I mean not getting wrong. Incredible figure,
incredible, almost figure flawless. Right now, let's just say these also
come with the the the shiny WF stands, but it's attitude on the box.
So they haven't switched over to the attitude stands yet. So it's marvelous,
Mark Marrow Double J slab nuts. Who's just a couple of rooms away
in the rooms the producers room. Grab them to talk about this. Now
he is, We've talked about this on the pop before. He is in
gear that he wore in nineteen ninety four. Yeah, in nineteen ninety eight.
Yeah. Even the photo in the box is a nineteen ninety four photo.
I love this figure. I love it. It's it's almost up there
with like that flash funk the same realm for me, Like it's just like
perfect, It's one and done, the same thing, which I think,
you know, if it was released in all these different weird set shotgun and
then maybe that water's down the specialists, if it was in just a plain
silver outfit, I still would love it just as much, and that would
be a little a little bit more accurate. The timey timetable double J Classic,
I don't even know what you call it. The stringy singlet tap.
Yeah, it's got the the the two fingers shrut hands. It's got the
shiny like light up glasses. Obviously they don't light up, but they go
in the head perfectly. And it's got the double J hat. It goes
in. It wasn't perfectly Oh it doesn't low got it, but it goes
in the head perfectly. Truth be told. I might have said this before.
We'll say it again. I was rocking and rolling in Global Force.
My dream was to like I had this picture. I was gonna be Jeff's
like protege or whatever, get that outfit like uh, orange and blue.
I was so I told Sandra that so many times. It was so pumped
to do it and then just didn't work out. We also got a Hunter
Hers Helmsley triple H. Yes, Okay, like I said earlier, it
was more of a skinny triple H. But now it's like the bigger versions.
The hair is gonna push deep joining DX not quite the down but has
the brain in the back still, So it's still like Hunter Hurst Helmsley era
tights. Yeah, but they later repainted it's like supposed to be him when
him and Sean are right. I think, so that's in my mind,
that's what It's an excellent iconic figure then, which is like kind of goes
against what I just said. That one up getting released different ways and gazillion
times. I never really dug bone Crunchers that had that belt bole painted as
tights. It pissed me off. Okay, don't piss me off. Yeawesome,
But I still love that figure even though it was released a gazillion times.
Absolutely. It also has the first ever Mark Henry figure to go with
your nation if you're doing a new nation, but stuck hat. Yeah,
and the same with the d Loan Common. They're putting two tough stuck hats
so exactly they all matches. Cool, that's fine. And I'm starting to
think now that we're talking about this out loud, maybe those hats were like
so thin that there was no way to like do the head and the hair
and make it stay on. You know. Okay, here's here's oversize about
this. We should have talked about this earlier. So Bradshaw, justin Bradshaw's
hat comes off, but when he's the Blackjack Bradshot, the hats are glued
off. It's a brutal mistake. And then when you rip the hats,
all of the bowl cuts that I even like the hair under youth. If
you rip that hat off by accident, you'll get a bowl cut with a
bald spot. It's all that's where the glue reps. It's like it's badad
Mark Henry figure is great. Can do the World's Strongest Slave. Even before
that, yeah, or a gorilla. It was good for like play and
like squishes the corner and whatever. What I love was Steve Blackman. Now
Steve is weird because he doesn't love this figure. No, I did not
love the figure. I love that he was in it. He's wearing his
like his karate top and his arms are out like he's doing a karate post
that hard plastic bone articulation. To this day I thought, I still just
think that's so odd because of his little batons, which is cool. It's
great displayed and pose. I always thought it was so funny that, like
it looks so boring in the packaging. You let that bad boy breathe.
The back has got that crazy tiger design and stuff and you would never know.
And then he was later I think it was a DTA series released with
no shirt in arms like sid arms. This is the one and done with
this mold? Is it released re released with this mold? I'm not quite
sure. Uh, maybe like a grudge match or something that I'm not quite
sure. My favorite of the set is the black Heart Olwen Heart beautiful figure,
beautyful getting released to some really bad ways. It gets re released as
caution Nation Owen, and then also it gets really repainted as there's not an
error, folks as Jeff Jarrett. They paint a golt times was gonna say,
Jeff Jarrett. So when you're playing with Owen and Jarrett and they're taking
champions, yes, the exact same figure. I need someone to explain that
to me. I need to find out whose decision that was and have them
on the pod. I think we need to start with them to Jack's BCA.
He might know that. He was like Tommy Latimer, one of those
guys. I think his name's Tommy, right, is it Tony Tony?
Is it Tony or Tommy? I don't even know that is period. He
was bro we talked about in the last episode. Oh okay, okay.
Anyway, so the Owen he's doing like a double thumbs up, and we
always thought that was so weird until we found a reference shot where he's just
messing around doing like a thumbs up, and that's what they that's what they
Joes, it's a la zach Ryder is eight x ten just standing there for
a reference test. Shot shots. I think through the years, we've discovered
that like not sometimes as and this is sad. As much as we like
romanticize about these figures and love them and they're so iconic to us, some
of the decisions were made by people that like, are not fans. Well,
unfortunately that happens now, I don't tell. And they're just artists now
doing their job getting some reference shop like Bill is like a diehard, but
there are other people on the line who don't follow the product, you know
what I'm saying, And they're literally just they're just doing their job, given
some random reference shot of some guy that they don't even really know who they
are, and they do what they do. Okay, so they're making some
pretty uh, almost iconic decisions. You know. I hate to backtrack,
but we're going to backtrack a bit. So this is from Lee's actual figure
news and to review number sixty two. There's a page called WWF on the
shelves. I used to go to Barnes and Noble's with my mom and she
would go do real books and orders or whatever, and I would just find
these magazines in the magazine aisle and just get lost and like, oh my
god, so wish. It makes me wish I had a cell phone back
then I could just take pictures of them on my phone, right instead of
like, oh my god, you know so Vidas Jacks gave me this scan.
So this is like when series five is out, So you in your
fig fed you could have like or what's currently on the shelf is Flash Funk
Shamrock Rocky, my Va, Saviio Vegas, Sid Austin. Then you have
the ringside collection, the referee Sonny Sable at Sable, second figure, Vince
McMahon. You have the Godwins, New Blackjacks, Headbangers, l O D,
the Championship four pack. Uh, that tag team set. I mean
we'll talk about it another time, but yeah, that like exploded my fig
fed with talent. You know do you want to do? You want to
throw in tag teams and managers? Here? Oh? Where we at on
time? We're at a half hour? Okay, we can keep going?
Should we backtrack? It's not backtrack, it's in smash Okay, So let's
rewind a year before Superstar Series six comes out. So we're on the Superstars
Series four, and in between that and series five we get and we get
tag Teams Managers and Ringside collection. You're making me itchy. I want to
get some which tag teams a jack store when we just invaded so tag team
they're the two packs. It's Legion of Doom obviously, Headbangers, New Black
Jacks, Bradshaw and Wyndham and the Godwins and the Godwins come with U.
The Pale, the Pale and the horseshoe chain thing perfect addition to your fig
fed. The Godwins are like unbelievably awesome figures today, the same boat as
that Jeff Jarrett, the Flash Funk Like they're just so unique compared to the
other bone crunchers. You know, they're just not dudes in trunks. That
body was going to be used for Chainsaw Charlie, but we had no proof
of that either. That doesn't add up. It doesn't. How does it
not? Because we're saying I got those Christmas ninety seven, changed our Charlie
debuts Christmas ninety seven, I'm saying years later, when Changed Charlie was supposed
to come out. Oh that's that's perfectly That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
yeah, that's kind of what the mini figure looks a little bit that's what
I'm saying. Yeah, so the godwins, it would be Phineas not Henry.
They got different arms. Yeah, maybe it's finish. Uh so the
new Blackjacks, like I said, justin Hawk Bradshaw just comes out and then
a couple months later you got Blackjack Bradshaw. Now this I also think this,
this, this is a peg warm up set because they look identical.
Looks like to the same. Dude, I agree, you know what I'm
saying, But if you're a fan of the show, you knew what it
was absolutely and like even then, I knew that, like Barry Wyndham was
like kind of a legend, So I like, really to me, I
really wanted to. I think I was devastated when I opened these up and
the Hatson come off absolutely head bangers and just won the tag title. So
like it was like perfect timing. Uh. The head Bangers have the uh,
the the not killed but the skirt, but it doesn't get it doesn't
get in the way of the playability because it's like rubber and the legs.
It was like kind of ahead of its time in that sense, and they
don't quite have a bald head and instead of stubble. It's like a shadow.
It looks like, it looks weird. They they never nailed this.
Uh no, the later ones it's it's a little better, but they didn't
even even the yeah it's not. I don't imagine it is the Austin or
like Festus or something. Oh my god. And then l O D.
Water USh perfect figures in my opinion, maybe not as jacked. They're still
great though still great. Removable. They were up there with Austin like hard
to find, like on the shelves. Yes, removable shoulder pads and we're
used to the Hasbros where the shoulder pads were on. These are rubber labels
like game changing, right, you're like, holy cow for your fig fed
to have these. And then also the manager set, like when these all
came out, I was I remember I found these at KB Toys in the
Roosevelt Field Mall. It was like a set like, okay, now the
managers didn't have bone coaching action, that's fine, that was yeah, it
had marvelous not marvelous, Mark wild Man, Mark Merrow and Sable. Uh
Mark Merrow. People always send that in as the WT Figure of the Week,
Like I think it's a great figure. I don't think it's great.
I don't think it's bad, though I love I love. I loved it
the red better and then it matched the Sable red. That was cool.
The the wild Man Mark Merrow prototype is white. This is all black.
Really, you gotta pick of that? Not not not on me? I
actually I would like to see that. Let's see if I oh, yeah,
see here it is from toy Fair. Oh, let me give us.
And also Sable has got more of a green dress where she comes out.
It's more blackish. I think that's gold. Looks greenish. T you
think that's gold? Wow? That I don't Did Mark wear white like that?
I'm not sure. These were also shown at toy Fair, but we
were still Yeah, you don't know that. We don't know this. I
knew these were coming out, I believe because of I finally saw Ringside collectibles
on the Internet when I got the internet in the summer of ninety seven.
Also in this set, it makes me want to like just not wrestle tonight
and just go I know, Indians, like the matches are going on.
I want to sit Indian style and just go play with some bone crunchers.
Also in this this toy fair set up there, great h A R.
D Wells and stuff. On another it's just going to time machine. Right,
John was there, he was like sixteen. I can't even talk about
that. Got dumb. The figures look in the ring and they can't even
see over the top of Oh my god. So the monster Ring baby,
But yes, and then it also has crushed Jailberg crush I thought was great,
can do the Nation pose with his right hand and comes with Clarence Mason,
which I thought was incredible. Then we have Mankind who's a straight up
re release, you know what I'm saying. Like again, it's incentive to
get you get Uncle Paul to get smaller, and he holds the urn so
perfectly in his hand. Figure it is great. It also got released a
million times gazillion times, but it's it's a great figure. But my favorite
of the set is mister Bob Ackland and the Sultan. The Sultan was the
weird Savio Bega b legs. Yes, hard to play with, but awesome
and technically not big enough in my opinion, right, so hefty enough in
my opinion. I mean if you told the common man that was Rakishi,
they'd be like, what right? But in my opinion, I later use
this in my fig fed like as a sultan, but I use him like
as Rakishi. That's weird. But what I'm saying very hard. I pushed
him. I pushed him as Kishi, I used him as asca, so
just it's too much. But anyway, it's like, I don't I didn't
think that. You know, they're making all the top top guys, so
for me to get the sultan and like does not brad on my fig fed
grow. That's what I was saying about tag teams that like exploded this summer.
I way, that's what that's seven new guys. No tag teams is
eight new guys. Okay, seven new guys plus the summer and fall of
two of nineteen ninety seven exploded. Your fig fed exploded. Well, I
guess that's kind of why, maybe that it was easier for that big break
until series six. And let's talk. The last thing we will mention is
the Ringside Collection, which was ahead of its time. It's Vince McMahon,
like, oh my god, we get Vince McMahon. I do wish his
knees would have been allowed. The Jim Ross and the Ringside coquestion too,
Yes to properly sit. Uh. It had a re release of Sable in
the Red, but I was okay with that Sonny, which is awesome because
she's like at the top of w W and it's a horrible figure. Yeah,
no, it's bad, and go back and look at it, referee.
It has Harvey Whippleman on the photo, but it's not Harvey. I
don't know the watch the watch if you read Harvey's but we talked about it
on the top before. I think that the tale signed that maybe it was
supposed to be Harvey at one point and then they just went with generic refhead
so it can't be labeled as anybody. I wonder if it would have painted
a beard on it, could it be Harvey? It doesn't look like him
at all. They later was like, yeah, they later reworked this figure,
uh to be the cameraman and the tetron line. But I love this
referee. I love the packaging, the rings, that collection packaging. It's
all like the red, white, and blue. Yeah, pretty unique too.
And even even today Mattel doesn't make referees. I know there's some sort
of there's some sort of that's the reasoning the likeness. It's not that it's
like who's going to get the royalty, It's not that Mattel doesn't want to
make him. I just think you should make a generic guy, make it
a reference. It's kind of crazy that attitude era wrestling and these figures are
so popular. Like you would think if Mattel went out and made a risk
of making a lineup like this, it would sit on the shelves. But
this, this was not like a peg warming set like oh no way.
Yeah, I know, but that just just shows you how popular like the
biz was and uh so yeah, I mean I think that that pretty much
covers it. We just did series four, five, six, We did
some bonus ringside collection that the description for all marketing and managers. Now there's
other figures that came along the way. Dude, I'm looking at these pictures
right now. Look at that Owen R. Look at that Jarrett, that
triple Ah, guys, I'm sorry, We're all over the place. We're
just so excited. We want to give you more and more content, and
uh, I think what what you guys want to see next? We will
talk about series seven, eight and nine, and there is no ten.
There is no ten. Maybe next time we'll go back, we'll do like
Ringside Collection two, maybe some grudge matches future episodes. I'm looking forward to
seven eight nine, I'm looking forward to reminiscent about that. Do you think
we should just talk about like the other guys that know, he's your Shake
Barman and Brian Shaking. You don't think shoul talk about Triple Threat? We
did right, all right? Triple Threat was I'm at Johnson, Yoko,
Zuna wild Man, Mark Marral, first time you can get Yoko, but
then he got eventually released the singles and it kind of worded it down right.
Then there's Buried Alive, which has another mankind Paul Bear Undertaker, but
look at this. Look at this Undertaker with the prototype cape slightly different than
the Cape that was released. Well, it's very different and didn't have the
flow. Yeah, and then also straight futioner King of the Iron Rungs had
you know, a bred Hart with no glasses. I'm at Johnson, a
referee in Austin with the Austin three sixteen shirt. These were target exclusives,
those two, and I didn't have a target. Dude, We're getting all
over the place. I'm just I'm just looking at all these pictures of these
these bone crunters. I'm getting itchy. Date to build my bone crunch.
You're you're like getting up and signing off. All right, guys, we
hope you enjoyed this bonus episode. Thanks for being a Patreon Major Mark incarnation
of Domination weekly segment. We choose a superstar and we talk about our favorite
versions of that superstar. Each week we try to stump one another. This
week it's my turn to try to stomp you, and this is a layup
for me. I don't know if you saw his re debut this week on
WW The Bump, but he's back from the dead. John Morrison. Okay,
very toyatic man. Not only is the toyatak de freedom. He see
that picture he posted. I was blown away by this picture. It is
okay photo, it's every one of his MATEL releases so far. Okay,
so BLUs you. But if you think about it, John left in late
twenty eleven, right, Mattel started in twenty ten, like January twenty ten,
so it's two years of John Morrison figures. And there's ridiculous amount of
Job MORRISI figures. According to this post there's two, four, six,
eight, ten, twelve. That's crazy. It's nuts. Yeah, that's
it's unbelievable. It's no offense, but his position like he was always doing
good, I know, but like not like John Cena good well, very
impressive. Like I said, he's very toyatic. The first thing that came
to mind when you mentioned all his figures was how much I hated his first
figure. You hated it, yes, because he has the like brock legs
all you're talking about his Ruth's aggression, yes, yes, Okay, his
Jack's figure. He's got the torsos way too like he's known for his abs
and his leanness, and this figure is way too big. Plus the Mercury
had the different torsos, and then they like he just looked way too big
compared to Mercury. And they're like, oh, so upset because it was
such an eminem mark at the time when those Crowns they're the hottest team,
and I was so pumped to get him, and I was like, oh
god, what is up with these figures. Then he was released like a
couple more times like that until they finally gave him like the ripped Torso that's
that was a new Torso at the time, it wasn't available. I want
to say they like debuted with Morrison and like Randy Randy and Morrison would get
it. They'd like definitely gave him a leaner Torso at the time, like
they did with Joe Matthews. It's that cruiser ray Torso that everyone else got.
I mean that would have really helped out. I mean, I'm assuming
they were doing it for like the hype. Maybe I don't know, but
it didn't make sense. But the way his body really was so like all
his figures were like okay as Johnny Nitro, John Morrison. But then it's
Mattel who takes a new level with the coat and the glasses in that Elite,
which is my favorite by far the series four right, and there's a
variant of that. There's a maroon. There's like a bright red uh fur
coat, and then there's like the maroon. I think that was a running
change because he did not have a red coat like that. It's the maroon
is the more accurate. That's the one that I have in my friends and
family like that. That's like one hundred these days. Yeah, and I
actually really like the I think it's series nine, his last Elite where he
has the bear like Joemo Sapien show. Yeah, and I think it's just
cool because he has the beard and that's he's kind of had that look now
for a long time. You know, he has a lot of time.
He's still wearing those those weird glasses for two thousand and eight. He hasn't
it's been clean, clean shaven in a long long time. In the first
ever ze True Long Island story, I had a zach Ryder figure defeat one
of these John Morrison figures. I don't know which one it was. It
must I think it was a basic one. I don't quite recall. But
uh, I mean he's somebody where. Okay, he's back. Like you
said, he hasn't changed his look, kid Mattel just like use the tools
and start banging it out now. I think so because they kind of did
that with Ray, like we got that we got that uh Halloween Havoc Ray
because they could be able to do it so fast because there wasn't a lot
of like tool there's no tooling, and they had it ready to go.
I think he definitely fits in that boat. Like I don't think anything about
Jomo has changed. It's like same, he's similar gear, like maybe like
his jacket or his robo. Yeah, I mean it would be updated.
They could throw a basic out like like that. Oh yeah, I agree.
And he's super toyotech and he's gonna be a huge star again in WW.
One of my personal favorites. So, John, we're glad to be
back. But I guess, okay, so what's your favorite one? Man,
It's a toss up between that, the one with the beard, and
then the series four with the corrected jacket. I think I'm gonna go with
the one with the beard because it's it's him now, all right, And
I'm gonna go with the one with the even though we worked with John clean
shaven John Morrison so much that yeah, maybe it's a little more. I
blew up bearded. He killed him his career here I did. That's a
good wrestler. Bill's gonna love this product. I forgot that it's your dad's
favorite. Wow. Oh my god, so happy. So John, I'm
glad you're back from heaven. You've been resurrected. Hopefully our careers will be
resurrected soon. All right. Up next is is the hashtag we want right
Troe's fantasy figure of the week. All right, you you really you really
upset me last week when you said that. This this segment, it just
like makes me realize how far away we are to get these back. Uh,
maybe this week will pump some new life into it a little bit.
A figure of fake John Wars. Wow, yeah, double Jobo as that's
ever happened, Oh, probably never happen again. All those horrible Sean Michaels
molds ready to go, Let's go give him the I mean, like I'm
going to be in a hypocrite because I was just saying in that last sec
that it would st ripped enough. But this is beggars, can't be chooser.
But like, yeah, he's good to go. What did he call
that weird kick? Starship Pain? Know that kick that he used to do.
He called something like he would jump off the ropes and kick you had
a move had a name of me y. I used to take it all
the time. I don't know anyway, the dance break like leg drop thing
you do? Like we did say a lot of weirds though, so would
Morris would be a jumper? Did you? Starship Paint? I'm seeing that
Sean, Like you just said, because they can be just painted super just
do a super kate because he's supers he would do it. Yeah, yeah,
man, that just Morrison is a weird cat. It just fucked this
funny memory our first WrestleMania. He was in the money in the bank ladder
match, and I, uh, I think I was showing my friends,
like the secret like WrestleMania like rehearsal room set up in that ballroom, like
the the the ring is there for people that want to go over their matches.
And we were coming back from like dinner or the bar. Someone was
like pretty late at night. I was like one in the morning. I
was like, oh, you guys want to see the ring or whatever.
And we opened the door and Jamo was there by himself and he was like
he was trying to figure out how to like set up the ladder on like
an incline and ride a steel chair down like a skateboard, like do a
spot like that or whatever. And I think he up doing the moon the
ladder, which is very impressive and badass. But yeah, unique, unique
special athlete, but uh, my idea and picking him for this segment would
be goodhead of the curve. You can bring retros back boom right away,
you know. Trusting guy, fresh as hell, you know. But uh,
like I said, the light at the end of the tunnels feel so
far away. First time we ever met John Morrison was the only time we
were extra talent for w w's mes Square Garden. Basically our lives save their
lives. We walked in to the male talent. We didn't know. You're
not a lot in there. Bob Holly was definitely in there. I remember
the desk there, you know, and then more simples as the side night
at the time it says, hey, there's a there's a room for guys
like you over here. But they were changing there too, or he said,
up guys like us. They weren't changing. They may Yes, they
went the teching tiles that night from Eddie and Ray and SmackDown. Yeah.
So wow in the garden. In the garden, Jamo, we're happy to
have you back. He was there. I mean, he's you're very close
to Hibody. He was like my buddy, like it's cool. I was
a groupsman, grooms crumsman. I think he just went I was. I
gave a speech, what you know, I gave a speech. I gave
a speech, Miss Ziggler, we all get and the Licher brothers they were
there. They weren't I think so remember the other groups, Well, they
weren't wearing the masks. He could be sitting there right now, Joe Moo,
I love you. I hope you're on RAW. I don't know.
I remember like one of the first times, like as major bros, we
rolle with someone, it was like Morrison. He was a weird cat like
to ride with because he'd always have like whatever trendy like protein bar or shake
or like remember like the test tube protein shots. He would always happen to
those let's just vanish because they sucked. That's why I probably not real right,
oh, but he would always have something new. Uh oh, man
Morrison, I love you. Wow. Two segs. That's probably never gonna
happen again. Two segs, all right. Up next is the segment we
forgot last week, which is fine, the w t F figure of the
week. So the WTF figure of the week is not quite a figure,
but we do like toy products, merch and stuff like that. James Jackson
from our patreon, he uh, he recommended this. I'm gonna just show
you a picture of it, and I want you to describe it to me
and tell me what you what you see with this photo. It's very Uh,
let's just let's just show you. I think what I thought these flex
Stream guys would be. Uh A real WTF. I know that. Great,
good job, cool figures. Can you describe it for the people at
home? Oh my god, I kind of want this. So I this
is funny because I have the Nash and Hogan of this. There's two of
each, the ech F two. This is just those three, there's three
but each. Okay, for years now, man, over probably twenty years
now, I've had these Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan ornaments. Hogan's on my
tree today. Yeah, they're like characterized versions of these ww stars at the
time. I don't The man I'm looking at right now is Goldberg. Well,
this is one of my favorites. I need to track this down.
He's one of my favorite wtfs in a long time describing for us. Okay,
So the Goldberg one, which I never had or had seen up until
right now. He is wearing a Santa hat and he's sitting in a rocking
chair with a giant sack of toys in front of his crotch. But Goldberg
is wearing his ring gear, so basically it looks like he's just wearing a
Santa hat and a boot and he's butt naked a dick in the box,
but naked on Christmas morning with a lot of presents. This is unbelievable.
So if you look at so I did some research what company made those?
Uh, that's a good question. I've had the Nation Hogan for like said,
there's two of each. But so when I was doing my research,
I'm like, there's no way this must be like a bad angle, right,
vintage trend Masters is uh who makes these? So if you look at
the back of the box, right, so there's it's really weird because the
back is Goldberg, Kevin Nash and Hollywood doesn't even say Hogan. So like,
I have this Hogan right here where he's like holding some of my gifts.
There's one where he's got the Santa sac and a Teddy Bear, which
Nash do you have? There's one ways of reading the list. One ways
go down the chimney. Now I think I have a different different ones than
that. Okay, so listen to this. So look at this, this
this prototype of Goldberg has the strap on. The strap w a big gold
That makes a world of difference though to have the title on right. But
also look how the sack is a little lower by his feet is the main
problem. It's not painted or those abs. Maybe the strap isn't painted.
It looks like it could be not He does have the strap on, but
it's unpainted. It's a flesh colored strap on. You know what I'm saying.
Oh my god, it's right here twenty five ninety nine by it Now,
whoa look at this? It's different carding. Yeah, okay, so
there must be a multiple generations of these because this on Afe once you just
showed this. One's in a little box right. I'm not quite sure what
to do. I mean with on eBay twenty five ninety My Nash is not
either one you just showed me too. For sure, I'm gonna make an
offer. Do you have you have the hogans? I have the I have
one Hogan. There's a Hogan right here, seventeen bucks. I have one
Hogan. This is like a little insane, so like literally it looks like
a naked Goldberg. It's full blown naked Goldberg. Here's another one best off
our twenty five. That naked Goldberg unbelievable. I kind of want this naked
gold I kind of want to do It's so horrible, like you gotta have
it right, so wild, I think when maybe my nash is the one
he's reading that the Naughty list there, Yeah, uh, this is just
unbelievable. Some guy like just so ho ho oh wow, pretty awesome.
Thank you for that. Someone has someone posted to picture of it on their
tree. So I can't tell those are abs or the the w C of
a big gold just painted flesh color, but it it doesn't matter. Okay.
First of all, he's wearing the hat, the brew and the gloves
and lemon may gloves with the Goldberg tag. It looks like someone have a
porno like, let's let's be honest. So it's not a dick in a
box. It's like a dick in a sack. He's not a boxes.
He's holding the sack right by. You should get some blue choo in surprise
cells in the same position of Christmas morning. Speaking of blue school shoe is
the sponsor for the Q and A in that goldberg ornament and that goldberg ornament.
All right, baby, it's blue chee time. Also, in that
Live four blog we keep plugging it, we signed a blue Choo, not
the actual pill, but they you know, like people. A very common
fan question it would be like, what's the weirdest thing you are, most
unique thing you've ever autographed? My new answer is going to be Zach and
I autographed a bill blue Choo packet for a fan who desperately wanted it and
thought it was cool. My I don't have kids. I mean you have,
you know, a beautiful Mackenzie, your daughter. I'm sure that really
messes with your your boom boom time, your boomom co combat of time.
Uh yeah, you know. Uh mister Carl Anderson has multiple children. Was
just explaining, you know, obviously it's just gonna get harder and harder,
right, it's a blue cheer Well, blue Chao will make you art and
harder. But the alone time, the private time is tough. So Kylo
and Draco, my two og kats, they know the deal, you know
what I'm saying, Like, they know my mommy and daddy gotta get out,
are playing take a powder, just chill. You know, baby Waffles
doesn't get it. He's all up been there. You know what I'm saying.
He's got learn right. Yeah, So like I need to put baby
waffles away and he cries, you know, he cries in there? Do
you put them? I put him in the bathroom, in the massive bathroom
where my bedroom is. But I need to take the blue chew right like
half hour before them, put baby woffles in and then go you know the
a routine you got there? Yeah, that's what I do. And I
also have my haunted mansion sent to the candle the same time. When you're
you're in the mood, you have a list of things you need to do.
Light that haunted mansion sent to the candle, put waffles away, take
a blue chew or no particular order, blue chew, chew chew. You
know it? All right? Ask you the question on Twitter. If we
read it on air, we'll send you the best witch Day BYT. Then.
Also, guys, the post uh post Christmas episode December twenty seventh will
be an all Q and A episode, so stay tuned for that. We
always love doing those all Q and a's uh you know, Christmas time,
We're not have time to record it. So honestly, guys, hey,
it's Christmas. Even WWE's taking the week off, so we need to backload
a podcast, but it will still be enjoyable. Yeah, all right,
Okay. My question is from Trevor Dunkinson, Trevor mur any Way, Power
Superstar at Trevor Duncanson. If there were to be an e CW Elite line
made, who would be in yours hashtag ask major pod So. I feel
like we've answered this a couple of times, but my answer will always change,
I think depending on my favorite. I think it was like who else.
I think when we've done this in the past, it's like a more
we took a more realistic approach, like a dream. There's literally nobody that
that that could be made at this point because they're not under h w W
Legends contract. So let's let's go. Let's just do a six fantasy like
what you would want Taz, Taz Dreamer, Dreamer, r D r D,
sab Raven Samon, I mean ponder before I would take out Saman for
Shane Douglas in my world. I love Shane Douglas, but I think for
the history, God damn, they both have great Yeah. E c W
would be c W that Shane Douglas, you know, and I think we
already are putting Dreaming and Raven in there who aren't like in wrestling gear and
stuff, and to go more toyatic route, I'm gonna go with Shane Douglas.
I would love if they would well, they're not gonna do what's all
both the title he threw down and then then the O the new updated one.
I don't think he ever do you roll? The updated one was tas
the first and is the first of the cool cool looks. The one looks
like the winged eagle, right yeah, because that that uh well the ECB
one says TAS on it. Yeah, on the side place, the side
place, but the side of the main place. Yeah. So I was
thinking the history of time that the cool belt people that was more around in
w c W than wasn't really only it's like the last year and a half.
Also the WTW backyard title. There you go, what history behind that
title? I think so s I mean obviously I would just go nuts or
something like that. I wouldn't. I wouldn't mind replacing, uh replacing franchise
with Paul Haymon about he's he's a build with all the guys that I think
at this point these are not very realistic, like I said, but maybe
if super seven is doing these one offs, like I think, you know,
sign an RBD and make like you know, you know whatever sign Sabo
make saboo figures. I don't know it tell it's such a great job on
the Elite RVD. I just wish they would have done a flashback RBD.
It just wasn't enough time. He was only around for they could maybe I
mean, of course they could have, but like right now, I currently
use that Mattel in my flashback collection even though it's not a flashback. Hey,
to Rob's credit something, he's looked the same for twenty years. It's
hard his new whatever his new shtick is, he is the best. Have
you followed him on twitterally? I follow I just want to read what they
want that he put like up the other day, like this one, like
blew my mind? How great it was? Hey, Uh, when you
see rbd D do you know his handshake? Do you have that down?
I used to forget what It took me a long time of die like you
go for it like this? Yeah, no, no, you're gonna get
me the right That's it. But like he's waiting for it, Like,
yeah, I remember that he's got the pound out and like if you're not
expecting it or you don't know what's going on, is the RBD tweet.
I followed my dreams and caught them. Huge house, super hot wife,
super hot girlfriend. He's got more money and more love than ever. I
won life. I'm offended, No, I'm unoffendable. But letting delusional fans
pretend they feel superior by throwing insult at me is my charity. Now go
ahead, point man, he's the best. He's what my god, I
mean, he's not a hell of a career and it's a long time and
he has lived on his terms. You know, he is definitely Hall of
Fame worthy. Yeah, yeah, absolutely all right. My question is at
is from at Dan p and Guyan News. No, if you were confronted
by your family and had an intervention for being a toy holder and struck a
deal that you had to downsize your collection but could only keep a handful of
items to fit in one single detop, what would it be and why?
Now here's the thing, evil question. He has been really getting on me
about this Horden situation. She sees this up that I've been getting, She's
like, why do you have all these T shirts so you're not gonna wear
I? Why do you need these foam fingers? Like she if she went
into my garage and actually looked through some of the boxes, she would say,
why do you need this Ultimate Warrior flash light? Flash light? Flash
light flash that's a weekly But uh, I, I do think some of
the stuff I've been buying this past year is a little like redundant, Like
do I need the whole game and Warrior Flashlight? I think we're both guilty
of justifying purchases for the sake of this show. Sometimes I would love but
I was one, which is the problem. And it's not like we have
a wrestling figure podcast. You know we need to justify it sometimes. And
I know it hasn't happened yet, But are we ever gonna have a weekly
purchases where we both just go out and get anything this week? No,
because I'll buy something on purpose for I've never I've never done that. I
just I just I just am actually such an avid collector. I've never had
a week why I truly didn't buy anything. I do think and this is
like an end goal. Maybe maybe not for Live five because because Mania is
nuts, but I would love for one of our live shows to almost do
like a mini like pop up shop of like rare stuff that like we're selling,
and it's like not necessarily like by Second Grid's collection, but stuff that
we don't want anymore, and we can also get outside people in there.
I don't want People have asked this before, like are you going to have
like vendors. I don't want vendors like setting up like bullshit toys like I
wanted to be like cool like rest for sales, like wrestling for sale kills
those pop up Yeah, that's what I would want to do, and like
put up like my cool stuff. All right, you know what I bought
this. I don't really need this anymore. Let me put up a cool
foam finger like something unique. I don't want like bone crunches of Sam Roberts
collections. You know what I'm saying, Like anything vintage works in that scenario.
But to answer this guy's question, he said, a detoll, So
this is what I'm gonna do. Detop has four tiers, and I count
the top. I count the top because I have stuff on all the tops.
So this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna say, God damn,
this question sucks. I don't want to think about it all right,
so let's just let's go Like this top, you have one LJN figure to
put in there. Wait, no, you put more than one else yet.
Yeah, you're filling a detall, Like right right off the bat.
In my details, I know I have I have the Hazzle Ring on top
filled with guys. The second the top shelf has all Hasbros. And then
the next shelf has all has So that right there, that's three to five
with the entire Hasbro collection, and there's no way I can fit the King
of the Ring ring in their period. So I'm like, already screwed.
I mean, this is when I know, in that same detall, I
have one of each ECW Guy Original Services of Toymakers Boom. And then the
bottom is maybe I'd have to keep literally that details of the way it is,
the bottom of shelf is just one of each Kernon Hawkins figure. I'm
done. I have two detoefs full of zach Ryder stuff. So you're this
is a question that can't answer. This is sometimes I think like what happens
if like my house burned down or something, or I was robbed, Like
would I even attempt to start over? It's another horrible thing to think about.
So I don't know. If I don't know, I don't know.
Detall is like, oh man, you got to become a minimalist, bro,
just have nothing. Just have seven pairs underwear, seven days a week,
seven pairs of socks. What if I just quit this podcast and hold
everything off? That'd be nuts? Well you do we just buy a back?
You would? You get? You get? You literally scratch that figure,
which is not not a gimmick, it's real life, Like you just
sit there and you want to participate, You want to get I don't know
how Definitely it's your human nature. Like there's no way I would ever downsize
to just the size of a detail. There's no way. There is no
way could I downside some of the junk? Like do I really need that
sid vicious mess I abot a couple weeks ago. Absolutely not I I And
we've said it there a couple of times that or at least I have I
hate that I have stuff that I don't display. But we were both guilty
of selling things and rebuying. That's why I never want to do that again.
I don't want to sell my Ruth Disgression guys again to rebuy them in
ten years. I mean the figure arts guys. I wanted a pure fomo
like I'm scared, like Brinks, I got these. I got of nowhere
kind of back after like two years and wanted again. I forgot you,
Trevor told me. But uh, and it's like straight up fomo, like,
well maybe when they're gone this time, they're gone and they're gone for
good and you're going to pay off the ask for them. For the Austin
that I got, and that was like six months ago, I'm not going
to get the other ones, though I think you should. The Triple H
is not old school, it's it's really cool. There's not jacked enough.
He's very smooth. M I don't know, that's a hard question to answer,
but yeah, I definitely do plan on like some of my shirts,
like I don't know if I need so all the shirts that I have,
the with the no intention to ever wear them is bizarre. I'll tell you
that. I promise the listeners I'm going to make a vlog of me getting
all my vinted shirts tailored and they'll be in the rotation. Then what I
do love is that way have this Patreon group that if I wanted to sell
something, I go right there. No eBay, I always say when I
deal with the Patreons and I'm selling them something or whatever, I'm like,
at least it's to me, it's going to a good place. You know.
I always do want something extra too, that's besides the fact. But
I'm just saying, like, I know that's going to someone who wants it,
is going to be appreciated or taken care of, whatever it may be.
Yeah, I mean, Chelse, like you're not listening, but maybe
there's no way I'll ever get rid of my house like collect anything. And
lit Liz is cle either. So I feel like the idea of what we're
doing is so far into them that they're just not standing. She asked a
very valid question, and she said, when does it end? That's the
fund then that's not fun. If you were doing just lgend and Hasbro's then
would be over. But then you know what you do, You start getting
the pre production figures, start getting it never ends. Yeah, that's that's
that She can't look at it like that. It never ends. Yeah,
all right, well, every wrestling figure company in the whole world would have
to cease production. Oh I'm matel like they just keep knocking out like now.
Yes, it's few and far betweens that they're doing a Legends guy.
But when they do like Gorilla, it's like awesome. Pat Patterson, Oh
god, the uh what are getting blasty? Still? What about that Mick
Foley WrestleMania figure face? All right, guys, thank you so much for
donating to the Major de Pot Holly Toy Drive. Well, next week we'll
have a way next week the no, next week, have a real episode.
Okay, next week we'll have real numbers and stuff for everybody. Oh
they will have the insert in this episode. Yeah, nevermind, market Mark,
you can get it all that. See you guys. What an episode
Holiday hangover of the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast Rewind my, oh my, and
speaking of holiday parties and whatnot and what have you, I met Broski's brother
over at the Creative Pro. First of all, I want to clear the
air real quick. They said that I on purpose wore a jacket that was
similar to Kevin Mcalister's dad from Home Alone to First of all, uh,
if I was my favorite Home Alone movie is Home Alone three because that movie
has the highest stakes out of all of them, because it's not just some
kid who's home alone. The literal fate of the world is at the head
of this kid. He saves the world. Uh. And yeah, it's
a nice jacket that I was wearing that my girlfriend got me about a year
ago that I wear. It's my winter jacket. I had no interest in
debt out in dressing up as Kevin Mcowiser's dad, But if that's what you
guys want to think, so be it. But I will say this,
the ladies definitely seem to like it. Shout outs to Tessa. And speaking
of siblings, I did meet Broski's brother Andrew the organ Dona who got engaged.
Congratulations my man, and uh, yeah, it was so cool meeting.
He says he's a big fan of the rewind. He checks it out,
he listens to everything, so I know that he's listening to this right
now, and I know that you're listening to this. And I want to
wish you all a merry, happy holidays. As we're getting through the tail
end of the holiday season here and then of course a happy New Year.
I'm going to see you guys. It was almost two or I guess two
years ago that I started the major rewind and we're still keeping it going.
We're still chopping it up on the ones and twos. Oh halay
