right, now it's time to get into WWF Monday Night Raw for January seventh,
two thousand and two. The war is over and wrestling is about to
die for WWF. Now we're gay and wrestling is about to be rejuvenated right
here because the game is back, baby, game game. We'll be coming
into this episode the first raw of two thousand and two, the Triple Hs
return. Let's see what was going on on the wall the wrestling at the
time with the Wrestling Observer newsletter from The Observer, January seventh, two thousand
and two, Rings the first parsling company to start out as a worked promotion
and end up as a one hundred percent shoot promotion, officially folded with the
announcement of the company liquidation at a press conference. I put this in here
because I know nothing about Rings, but the idea of a wrestling company going
from a workbreed to one hundred percent shoot sounds like something I hope is in
our future. Yeah, and then folding that's also in our future. That's
kind of how things have to work out. They lasted a little bit at
least. Yeah, I I you know, I've heard people talk about it
a little bit. I'm not going to act like I know anything about it.
Have you seen any Ring stuff? I I imagine it's like like the
It's probably not exactly like you w F because like their own rules set and
stuff like that, but I imagine this is the same, like shoot style
kind of kind of way, you know what I mean. But yeah,
I've seen clips. I've seen clips. I'll tell you that much. It
looks very stuff, and I guess because it was very shot. If anyone
had any Rings recommendations, you should let us know, because I I'm interested
in that and I want to I'm gonna I want to look more into it
because I want to know how it how it happened? How do you go
from one to the other. Boys said, fuck this ship man, that
that would be awesome. Great, two guys get in the ring. It's
like they start taking the rest tape off. I don't take the boots off
a right, here we go. Well boys, Shockingly, I thought we
had been over all of the news I could possibly find about this fed.
But there was one thing that I guess I missed along the way. The
XWF had some house shows. Yeah, little loop the XBF one on the
road for the first time this week with inaugural house shows in Hammond, Indiana,
as well as Milwaukee and Green Bay, Wisconschin house shows for a company
that, yes, has yet to do anything. Yeah, I guess so
like not recorded house shows. Yes, they did record one, though it
says here and I'm I'm guessing maybe the idea was, like they had all
these names, and like the way for people to find out about this existing
at all is them to tour very quickly. Yeah, I guess the local
market right right, tour like that and then people know about you. Well,
they did this three show loop and ended the tour by announcing cancelations of
all planned shows in January, they should have tried the rings thing. Yeah,
last last show of the Loop, they just started beating each other for
real. His fucking head knocked around, Gregg Valentine, fuck me, oh,
kick your fucking head. But the shows were all very similar, and
the positive was that they learned quickly from the mistakes of the first night.
The first show started thirty minutes late, and then and then made the mistake
that's a thirty minutes is actually perfect, and then made the mistake of doing
the polaroid gimmick with the girls aka the I guess they had nitro girls there,
Jackies. Yes, I believe. So they were doing Checki's with the
Nitro girls and the line was so long that it took something like fifty minutes.
This burned the crowd out, and with the show going nearly three hours,
people were leaving in droves. During the main event, which was a
three way between Vampiro, Current Heading and bof Bagwell, wow, way they
did it like intermission. They did it at the start of the show.
Oh my god, they started off. They wanted checky. They did the
start, the show started late, and then it was fucked. Please God
tell me, there's somebody listening to this anywhere that has a check you with
the Nitro girl from this company. I begged someone in Indiana. Po would
be incredible. Yeah, surely somebody that listens to this or in the vicinity
of this has someone's dad to a house show. Yeah, everyone go ask
your dad, now, did you take a polaroid with a random woman in
Indiana? After the first night, they made sure they start the show's on
time. The intermission was kept short, not allowing everyone in line to get
photos, but having the girls pose for photos after the show, and moving
the planned man eventors to the middle of the show and putting the Road Warriors,
who people responded to even more, even though they were having horrible non
matches with the Nasty Boys to the main event. The prelim matches on these
shows is there. This is an awesome fucking line up here, Like if
they announced this card today, I would be very excited to go Greg Valentine
versus Hell. That was one of the matches. Well, the main event
was Nasty Boys and Road Corps as well as Kurt Hennick buff Bag on Vampiro.
They were running that every first half Maine and then you know Second Made
Dresden versus Big Veto, Crash versus Josh Matthews. I don't know who Crash
was. I don't think it was Crash, Crash with A K and I
and Harrison versus Norman Smiley and Jim Duggan versus The Wall seven matches three hour
how long they work? At some time he was trying to put some holes
in and Josh Matthews was just learning and uh over legal limited. Yeah,
dude, it might be time to cut off fuckings. J come on down,
you gotta spot o your body. Hell you did too, Hell you
come on British wormy and Harrison or whatever he was British worm. Well,
you got thirty five minutes and I go out there and go it. Well.
When the weekend was over, the company canceled its second tour for this
coming weekend, all which had poor advances. Wrestlers were told that they would
be paid for this coming week's canceled. Events that hadn't been announced publicly for
late January and Texas were also canceled, although the claim is that there will
run all six of its planned cities in February. You want to lie.
I think the Milwaukee show they taped and with the ideas that they were going
to like use it for an actual show. But so Hogan was done by
this point, he wasn't joining this fucking company. So maybe he wasn't.
Yeah. So my idea here is when I'm thinking about this, is they
kept they had that they signed the worst wrestlers ever so Hogan could beat him,
and then Hogan said I'm not coming, and then they're left with the
worst wrestlers ever on contract. Yeah. What a horrible Really, you know
what wou't It wouldn't surprise me if Greg Valentine and Jimmy Hart thought this was
a sweet roster. This was like to build the future. Come on,
you know, a new style. AJ that's a good question. I don't
know. He wasn't on them. From The Observer of January fourteenth, two
thousand and two, Meltzer says, in the most hyped WWF for Turn in
recent memory, a much larger version of Triple H's returned working house shows starting
on one four in New York and made his first appearance on Row in Madison
Square Garden. He also put here Triple H looking pause suscittively freaky returned to
the Broome County Arena in Birmington in Binghamton, which sold out as he and
Kane beat Chris Jericho and kard Angle when he used the pedigre on Jericho.
So yeah, Meltzer just a lot of comments here about how just insane Triple
H looks here, and I wrote some later as well, Yeah, because
yeah, Triple H came back and Meltzer said, ain't nobody matching this guy.
That's a freaking dude. Yeah, that's a freaky That's a guy that
came back, ripped his shirt off, and I say, damn, we'll
talk about it. But he looks like a legit monster. It's fucking horrifying.
Actually how big this dude is? From The Observer. A couple of
things here from Deserver January twenty first, twenty two. XPW through its usual
crowd about of about one thousand on January twelfth at the Olympic in Los Angeles.
EASW ran there. We've seen that building a few times, same show,
literally being booked as the show went on. So they just did it
as the you know, by the seat of their pants. The show was
built around the idea of a quote unquote former w CW or w F champions
shocking appearance and an announcement that would change wrestling forever. Fans were furious when
the show ended and no such person or announcement appeared or took place. That
says that would to be the first time this group has copied one of the
worst ideas w CW had. What do they say about those who don't learn
from history? Usually they end up as wrestling bookers. Also says Nujack took
a bump through eight tables in his match with Vic Grimes. Grimes also stapled
his balls. Now, I don't know if that many stabbled his own balls
here XBW is that's I mean, you're right, wow, something about only
the worst wrestling companies ever survived? I want everybody fuck and I mean,
damn, damn. I'm trying to But who killed w c W James?
I heard it was stinging, Oh my god, understandable. Last thing here.
There was a lot of heat over Big Boss Man's performance in the SmackDown
match where a lot of the spots had to be edited and the raw match
on January seventh. That may explain him going from being pushed as one of
the top heels to being out of the main picture. And I'm glad that
he put this because I also noticed that boss Man was having a tough time
in the match he had on this show was eight minutes. He was he
was fucked, Yeah he was. I feel like Austin was trying to I
can't wait to talk about it because he Oh my god, it's so fucking
outrageous. Is like boss Man's last match. He wrestles for like three more
months here, Tony. I think his last match is like in April.
Uh, and then they just let him write out his contract till three.
But that is it for the Wrestling observer portion of this. Now it's time
talking about Monday Night Raw January seventh, two thousand and two. All right,
let's get into this Monday Night Raw. The box to be that is
a crazy this is it's two thousand and two, so this is like crazy
to see. Yes, yeah, it was still sort of rock in this
aesthetic and intro and stage and all. That's not war though it's raw.
Was it just raw? Raw? It is just raw? But they still
have the raws War theme song. It's weird, weird raw intro to and
you know, I was kind of surprised that it went right to the intro,
because I feel like, more times than not, we always get some
kind of recap cold open, but instead they decided to save all the recap
for the first segment for some reason. Ah. Yes, that was kind
of crazy how they did that. Huh. It was fucking I don't know
if I've ever seen Yeah, I don't know if I've ever seen them do
it like this before. It was almost desperate, like it was almost like,
hey, I don't think any of you been following this angle. Yeah,
the ratings are down, crazier you guys said, you guys watched this.
JR. Welcomes us to a sold out in Madison Square Garden. He
says, thank you Triple H for the house. I don't say that.
Wanted him to say that. They showed the shot of the fans at w
b F New York again, and I was they so they did this all
the time. They always had a packed house when there was a raw and
they always showed it there. And I was like, how the fuck didn't
w b F New York work. I was like, maybe he did.
I mean it didn't last well WF to start on the downturn. Yeah,
sure, but like they couldn't have done more to keep it alive, Like
I guess they couldn't do it for SmackDown because it was tape. Yeah,
but I think the real estate in New York is probably fucking expensive, you
know. Yeah. Yeah, just to have that open is fucking crazy.
They could have moved to somewhere else. I guess they probably would have been
fine, but I think they really wanted it, like in Times Square.
Yeah, if it wasn't gonna work there, fuck it right. Yeah,
Yeah, I'm sure that was exactly what they said. Like they were they
were starting to get ready to go public or whatever, and they're like,
okay, how can we cut some costs? Right? Get that fucking restaurant
to funk out Burgers. Yeah, all we have there is goddamn DDPM Burger
sixteen versions. So Jim Ross welcomes us to the New tnn uh and he
announces one match for the evening, which is the Rock and Steve Boston versus
Booker T and the Big Bosston is just Bossman. They just call him Bossman
now. He is just Bossman. Yeah. He's got this weird like a
big Bubba outfit on in the He's a high Freedom, Bubba and Bossman,
except not what he wrestles though, because he's just Boss. So yeah,
it's weird. Well, Triple Ah is also returning from injury tonight, and
if you didn't hear it here, you will hear it from everyone on the
roster about how excited they are. It's a beautiful differ shop for They cut
that all out of the Peacock version. No hint of you two mention a
beautiful day on the on the Peacock. Yeah, that is kind of weird.
I guess maybe did they play I'm gonna get assume that they had to
player at least once during this show. Yeah. Well, we start with
the Vince McMahon town Hall as we are getting ready for the Royal Rumble.
It is Vince versus Rick Flair and uh, Vince comes out here with a
big present and a huge black eye. Dude, a big shiner. Yeah
what the dude? Everyone on this shows the second segment or Matts they have
a black eye too. It's like, what the hell? Yeah, I
think later somebody has one too. I said, wow, everyone's they're trying
to the rings closed, so they got to pick it up. Yeah,
Vince comes out with a big gift and it cuts to a sign of the
crowd. It just all caps you zig freaking good sign. Oh yeah,
Vince says, tonight, I have something to talk to you about that.
It's more important than Triple Ah's return. By the way, I must say
before I get into this, this is so fucking annoying this promo. I
like the first time he could he goes to a bunch of video packages here.
The first time he did it, I was like, Okay. Then
he kept doing it. I said, dude, yeah, Like, why
why wasn't this just the cold open video? Man? You're pissing me watching
smack Down. I bet they said, okay, no one's been watching SmackDown.
We have to sell Yeah. And like I I assume if they put
it at the top, people skip it or they just tuning in and they
miss it. Said all right, fuck it, I'm gonna go out there.
One by one, We're gonna go this angle. That's right, it's
what he does. Yeah, he says, you know, more important the
Triple A has a return. I want to talk about the Rick Flair vincemick
Man matchup with a raw rumble. The crowd is in full what mode this
whole show speak what mode. Yeah, I think I'm I'm more okay with
it when Steve Austin was actually on the show. Sure, because it was
it was relevant to the guy who is still very very over. Yeah,
Vince is a vast majority of you feel like Vince or sorry, Rick Flair
doesn't deserve uh And he says, please don't start with that Rick Flair is
not worthy of being in the ring with me. But I disagree with that.
I'm gonna show you a collage, a montage of footage of Rick Flair
in then eighties and nineties, and you'll see Flair in action with the names
like Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat, the man
they call Vader. I said, what the fuck is going on here?
Vince gave more respect to Vader here than he did when he was actually in
the company. Yeah, dude, you're right. And that's what they do.
They show a Rick Flair montage set to an all time low instrumental.
This is nuts, not a parody. By the way, I thought this
was gonna be a parody of like Rick Flair's worst moments of all the real
highlight read Tony I legit. Thought it was going to be like him slipping
and falling and like fucking falling on the ring. Yeah, and would get
shaved or something. Yeah, spiky hair, David Flair running the ropes,
Just David Flairs, tronings picture of him turning around frock the roads. That's
what that's your son, your son, this is my son. Play the
shame package. He's just jumping off his ship. Fucking fall off the shooters.
Pay for that by the whole fucking band, by the band, dude,
rig Flair fucking just a highlight video. It's crazy because, like,
uh, this was like one of the first times he actually used the w
W library like that. So the season David, David, that's your sign,
your scene. Look at the Beast was smiling walking backstage with the Crowbards,
chase around Stacy Keebler. That's your son. You grew up chasing Miss
Lisbon for ten secondments straight. Yeah, it would have been fucking nuts,
but no, you're right. It was like it was like a legit package.
And it's so funny because Vince has spent I don't know, ten years
saying that everyone in this package sucks. As Dusty Rhodes in vain time they
came to WWF. He made sure that you know, these guys were complete
fucking jokes. But it's cool now sh we own it, so it's cool.
They they had to do this because you know, you got the nWo
coming in soon. I think they come in no way out right. So
then yeah, so just around this time Tony not to cut off, but
just just around his time, like maybe the January, Like one of the
late January observers talks about Nash and Holl and Hogan finally agree. So Nash
originally was coming in alone and didn't want to come with Hall, and then
they started to negotiate with Hogan outside of that, and then Nash got winto
that and said hold on if okay, well you're bringing in all that.
Yeah, And then that's when they were and there was you know, right
around time the brand ship is gonna Yes, they're coming soon, like you
said, they got a show with some perspective of he said, oh yeah,
we'll treat you right. Look what we just did here, big machine.
Everything we said. It was the first time they used like their footage
to it feel like I don't remember if they did during the invasion at all
they might have used. They showed something like Booker t winning then. But
I feel like this is the first time they've really done anything like this.
With the w W tape library that they had. It was kind of cool
that wasn't on it. Yeah, exactly. I wonder what song they actually
used here. I tried so hard to find this segment. I was trying
to find the full episode. I could Wow, that would have been awesome.
Actually, the memories so here, I am so yeah. Vince says,
uh, that's impressive. All right, mister Flair wasn't content on having
one of the greatest wrestling careers of all time. No, on November nineteenth,
specifically, please you know, look for this on your VHS tapes.
Mister Flair thought he'd start a new career. Anyway, Let's take a look
at the footage. Since you've asked, they show a video two months ago.
This was on Raw. This was the Consortium thing. They show that
from fucking two months ago. It's like a consensus here that no one cares
about this match. It feels like it because what because he goes right from
that, James to anyway, we're back a couple of weeks ago, mister
Flair made another announcement. Let's look at that they showed two weeks ago.
This is funny as fuck two weeks ago on SmackDown the show nobody watches.
I guess Flair goes and bunch of into the mat. Now let me see
that in slow motion. Anyway, last Thursday he attacked me again. Let's
see it again, please last Thursday. Smackdowns on every Thursday, everybody,
if you would like to tune in and watch my runs down the ringside.
Vince turns around and Flaire running punches him in the eye and motion show it
upside down and then sixty nine and now let's see David Flair taking a taking
up up now show running the rugs. You got any moves? Show him
showing up late for call time earlier to that. Here's his friend Krog,
his guy take off the screen. Here, Vince says he got five stitches
to the inside of his eye and three on the outside. The crowd pops
big for the Hans, So Vince goes over and now, yeah, this
gift box that he has. He goes and opens the gift box and he
pulls out a blonde wig and Flare's robe and he puts on the wig and
says hold your applause, and j says, wig on because he does take
a minute for some turning it around, and he's trying to find the front
of it, and he keeps starting it and he can't get it on,
and it's the longest thing every He says, hold your aplasa Ja said,
no, that shouldn't be difficult. Vince puts on the wig and the robe
and then he starts strutting in the rings. I got the hang of this.
Now he's strutting around the ring and then Flare's music hits, Flair comes
out gets in the ring. This is a funny ass visual because Vince is
still standing there with the robe and the wig on, and Flair's standing there
just looking like rig Flair does. And Flair says, this is another example
if Flair came out in the room. Flaire says, this is another example
of what I was talking about. You know, when you take parts of
my life and make it real, just like that tributed for me. You
know, I find that soft spot in my heart for you again. But
then you did something stupid like put it on my wig? What that's my
wig? Playing of my son. Anyways, you got close of my son
playing again, I got for him. Come on now, it's a beautiful
day. Stopping the fucking please stop. That's the fucking camerasright, guys,
he said that and put my ro bud. Who the hell you think you
are? Man, man, I'm rig Flair. I'm a nature boy on
nature boy, not the I'm on nature boy will never make fun of me
or get my face ever. I got you got it. I'm rig Flair
and you're not. Now take off that damn wig right now. Vince doesn't
want to do it and says no. He snatches the wag off of Vince's
head. If you feel what's next, Take off my goddamn road right now.
Get your ass. Oh my goddamn robe where I kick your ass?
So Vince goes to take off the robe, but inside the rope he was
hiding a lead pipe and he smashes Flair in the fucking head with it,
and Flair is gushing blood. He is fucked up. He could have punched
him in the head and he would have fucking just started exploding blood. You're
right, but now the pipe was dead it. He takes off the robe
and Vinston stomps this robe out kicks it, scoober stomp it. Oh my
god, that's a cream. Would have put it double stomps it the hell
ten times at least he throws He starts parading Flair around in the ring to
show off and bleeding, then throws him outside the ring. He should have
said, all right, let's take a look at what I just did.
I think I think that this was like an era that Flare said that he's
like super embarrassed of really yeah, well, I mean flapp says a lot
of stuff, but I think because like they took triple As talked about it
too, about how like he felt like Flair was like getting he was his
representation on the show was like as a complete joke, and yeah, he's
one of the most legendary wrestlers of all time. Maybe we should treat him
like one. And that's when he joined. Oh yeah, you're right,
Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I mean like he is getting his
ass who in your robe and your wig? And Vince walks out and you
can see Flair bleeding on the tron, reaching out through the tronic eyes wide
o, crazy crazy visual and then he looks at him from the outside and
says, that's what you get, pal, your a piece of girls the
way he says it. So he puts his hands up like like crazy.
He says, I thought he was going to do the trip. He just
put his hands on crazy. Normal people do not talk about then. So
we go to the first match of the evening, Rob Van Dam versus tests
E C Dud. Dude. I mean we're in New York, so you
know they g up for ec dub RVD. He's not even in the One
of a Kind theme area yet and he is so over. Yeah, dude,
I I we talked about it on a previous pot. I went to
my first w w F show ever in two thousand and two. Yeah,
it was a SmackDown. Apparently no one was watching. And yeah, Rob
van Dam was like one of my favorite dudes. Like he comes out here.
First off, he also has a black guy he does. It's even
worse. But you mentioned his theme song here, the first one he had
and crazy enough, this is the one I remember more. I don't know
if it's my favorite, it probably I don't know, it depends on the
on the night sure, because I was so locked into r v D at
this time, I thought, I was like, this is the coolest wrestler
ever. I was like, this is my dude right here. Hell yeah,
I don't know how anyone out the song he had in a couple of
games too. Yeah, sure, sure that probably helped a lot with that,
but yeah, I don't know, like, especially if you were a
kid at that time, like if you weren't fucking with like Jeff Hardy and
Rob Van Dam and Ship, I don't even know what the fuck? Yeah
someone right there. But yeah, Test comes out here and uh, I
guess, like, I mean, Testa's runs kind of done. Yeah,
came back. I mean they tried to push him for a minute, Tony,
I think this is like coming down off of it. No, he's
got immunity, bro, his run's never done. Yeah, man, you're
he's got to pull the community from Invasion and Survivor series, or he's got
community from being booked, well, community from better matches from winning. He
comes out here with very wet and also very dry hair. I was impressed,
and uh yeah his angle here is that JR. Says in commentary,
Well, Test is up shit with RVD. Test thinks he's cooler than RVD
and Test is a bully and he has immunity, and he's been shoving all
these referees around. That's the angle. He thinks that RVD is not as
cool as him, and that's why they're having this match. They had this
happen on his show. I guess o good, So we start the match
off here. RVD tries to kick Test down to start, but Test catches
him and just power bombs them early, super sweet cut off. I knew
it was going short though when that happened. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Test hits RVD with some crazy lines in the corner. Every one tonight,
I'll give him this much was super snug, which laid it in.
Yeah, which made the matches way better, especially because a lot of them
are shorter. I'm always the advocate for if you have less time, you
have to hit harder. It's just how it is. So Test thing grabs
a chin lock, getting four minutes and then grabbing a chinlock. It's crazy.
Test Test grabs a chin lock and puts on a crazy face. Sell
it, dude, Yeah no, he just got right in back up.
He said, all right, Test goes for the pump handle. RVD catches
them with a kick, RVD goes for the five star. Test pushes the
ref into the rope and knocks him off the top. I always love that.
I do too. He kicks the ref and rvady gets crotched on the
top. I thought, I love that spot too. Test pins RVD with
his feet on the rope. This is very funny looking, Tests like seven
foot tall stack him fum style. Yeah, dude, he pinned him and
JR is pissed. He's screaming, Hey bitch, are you kidding me?
Cherry Lawlers like laughing at him. He's like, did you just try to
get the rest of dig? Test argues with the reff of course, and
pushes the ref. The ref and hits the ropes and comes back and pushes
Test with enough force off the ropes to push him back into rvd's schoolboy uh
for a two count. I love yeah, I love it. I love
the referee, Tim White testing lines the fuck out of r v D just
fucking gives him one for real, Like, you're right, a lot of
stiff on the on the stuffle on the show is pretty stiff. Test argues
with the ref again and rv D hits a fucking gom and Geary I have
not seen this move in a minute. I could not believe that. I
was like, I had the replay because I was like, did he just
invent trouble in Paradise? But no, he just didn't get me straight into
head. Yeah that was Tess grabs a chair from the outside and comes back
in. RVD catches him with the Van Daminator. Nice. I love that
they at some point they like stop calling his ship ship like that, Like
they don't call the Van Daminator every time he did it chair, But they're
they're very into like putting his ship over right now, So it's the Van,
which is awesome. RVD then gets up and hits the five star frog
splash. All the cameras are flashing crazy. Yeah, this is awesome looking
uh and he gets it and hits it and he gets a three count.
This was also Arbity's first time at Madison Square Garden. They said, which
I thought, that's I hope he has sold out. Yeah. I had
a good match. It was I thought this match was great. All of
it made sense. Four minute package. They played off everything Jr. Said
before they started, and everything was super snug. They made it all believable.
Yeah, triple which is in the back watching rv D and Test have
a good MATCHIC so we go backstays Jonathan Coachman is waiting for triplation in the
parking lot, and uh, Kurt Angle walks up in the background and goes,
really, it's funny as they go right from the rmdy thing to a
shot of Coachman just standing back there, and Jared says, oh, hey,
coach, what's going on back then? Killing for some reason is walking
into the parking lot from the up ramp where you come in entrances in the
carway, no clips in, so I don't know whatever you do. Oh
man, what are you guys doing back here? Yeah, I'm here,
recall what the fuck? That's pretty much what he says. Yeah, Kurt
says triple A. You know, coaches, I'm waiting for triple curtsis triple
H? Well you interview someone that has the decency the show up on time,
which, Kur truth, you're telling me. We advertise this for months
and months. Your bigger turn. You're not here at call? Are you
fucking kidding me? You're pissing to be off dude already in testers on first
curtsys, where's Triple H. Anyway, the way everyone's acting, you think
Mayor Giuliani gave him the key to the city or something. And coach as
well, Kurt, it's Mayor Bloomberg now. And Churts says, shut up,
don't correct me. And if anybody should be interviewed, it should be
me. I'm the one with the big announcement to make Coach not you know,
not feeling it, says, all right, Kurt, what's the big
announcement? Churts is, Oh, you'd love that he loved the big announcement.
I'm not gonna stand in here and answer your pity questions when Triple Ah
shows up, start spreading the news tonight it's my night. It's true.
God, I love Kurt Angle. What what what d they wanted this whole
thing, by the way, Yeah that's true. Yeah, you're right,
though, Kurt is awesome here delusional. Kurt is a great gammick. He
played it super well and it's entering was awesome. He's perfect. He's like
his promos, like we talked about him a lot, but like him being
able to go from this to like being completely believable as the fucking world champion
is like you can't ask for a better wrestler. No, he just came
in and said, let me do this. Yeah, and they said shit,
yeah, said maybe not, dude. So we got to the Trish
Stratus town Hall. Trish is at WWF New York. This is insane.
I don't know if I knew where this was going. Even later than I
did, I not know where this was going. No, no, no,
h Yeah, they showed w New York, as James said, and
JR. Is hyping up the return of one of the great gladiators of all
time, the game Triple H. All right, come on, that's We've
heard this four times and I it's been twenty minutes. Shockingly, this JR.
Putting over Triple H on the show is not even the worst one.
Someone just for the sucking Triple Ah just balls clean behind the camerat. What
was that? Yeah, tell you, Sam, I'm one of the best.
E one of us say I'm bigger than I got immunity to. So,
yeah, we're w F New York. Tris is the host of w
w F New York Today. I guess as well, Great Hamburgers and Tris
Stradig, Well, she's the women's champ and She says, what's up New
York and Lola says, well, Tric says, I couldn't think of a
better place to be than w F New York. How about raw Well,
Terry ronalds walks up and walks in front of Trim and says, yeah,
it certainly is great to be here. It's also great to be the brand
new and better host of WWF. Excess Poppy dude, unbelievable puppies chant even
worse. Later, Chris says, what are you doing here? Terry says,
Trish, you're so pathetic with your little WWF woman's titles, the only
one the show. I couldn't said that shitty little belt you got thet this
is a world title. God damn it. Yeah, funk that. I
want the golden thong. Terry says, you know, deep down you don't
measure up to me. I'm more talented than you, better looking, more
athletic, and that's why I'm here to challenge you. Says you're going to
challenge me? Well, what sort of challenge you got for me? Terry
off the rich. She's not like you know, I just want to shot
the title. R. Let's have a match. She says, is it
a bron panties match? Jerry says yes, Chris says, what kind of
match? You hear in the background? One dude just screams Patty's match.
Yeah, the little crowd of us? Yeah, what about a lingerie match?
Even better? Lingerie? What dude? What do they think it's gonna
happen here? It's gonna happen in w F New York. Wow, this
is a good Hamburger. I probably see the women's stut me and the boys
in fries and beers and fucking just watching this. Are you kidding me?
Dude? Yeah? I brought my kids and wife or the ever more exciting
mud wrestling match. How do those three? Well? Terry has a better
idea, she says, Ah, how about I got it? How about
I'm got a singles match fifty minute time limit? Yeah it ultimate submission match
for thirty minutes right now? Oh my god, dude, man booking for
the Sins, come on this singles match, pins on submissions on fifty minute
time limit. Random. Arina reached out to the Mercy boos, the Mersey
settings, but on this makes me happy? Start with three finishers. Let's
go, Oh fuck, what kind of goes, what kind of that?
You know? She says, how about a wet T shirt contest? The
crowd you would have thought Triple H came out right now? They lost their
fucking minds. Who baby the title? Tris says, Terry, you're on
and Jerry Lawler is having the time of your what Taser? Just what committee
sanction this title match? Hello? Wet t shirt contest for the title?
And Trisha it was Trish was like wanting that more so for they say that
the title is on the line. What? Yeah, this is a shirt
contest match? The title sanction thirty minute time limit. Yeah, so wet
t shirt contest tonight for the title? W What the fuck? Man?
All right? So okay, sorry because we don't like this. Sorry,
I'm just trying to figure out, you know, where's the committee? Well,
like, hello, they're the ones shooting the all right, So Billy
and Chuck versus Scottie aber Hey, that's Chuck and Billy, Chuck and Bill.
They say Chuck and Billy, and I saw a commentary like Chuck and
Billy. Dude Jr. Has a hard time with it the whole time,
and Lola keeps checking them. It's Chuck and Billy. Oh, Chuck and
Billy. Billy, all right, they don't matter. It matters. Billy
says, if anyone should be in a wet T shirt contest, it should
be them because of their incredible physiques. Now, Chuck and I believe he
said that, Chuck your hose, turn it up, banging it. They
want to be in a They come out here in no shirts on it.
They said we should be in that wet T shirt contest? Hello, where
is the wet T Shirt Committee? James? I mean and asking Craig Leathers
would not let this happen on this show. Craig Leathers would have not sent
these dudes out with that kind of promo, and they would have had a
promo. Greg would not send these dudes out there period. Honestly, No,
that's true. They weren't conting it. Yeah, so Albert and Scotty
too Hotty come out here bang banging it. This act feels so out of
place in two thousand and two, it's unreal. I think it lasts another
year. Yeah, dude, that's like crazy, like to Yeah, that's
right like that. No, I know he's fucked with this act, but
it's just like it feels out of place on the show, especially when they
changed the set. Yeah, it's really like I'm like, Okay, what
the fuck is going on? Like Scotty too Hotty existing after they changed the
w W E doesn't feel right to me. Not that I don't like Scotty's
Dowaddy, but it just like yeah, yeah, but when I go back
and like it's he's one of those guys that I thought was like gone,
like dal Venus, Brian, Yeah, yeah, all those dudes, I
was like, Okay, this is a different era, but he's still here
for a minute. He's there. Scotty's there until like four or five.
Yeah, I mean, like like I was saying, it's just like it
felt like out of place. I don't know, Like I heard him come
out, I saw him. Was like, damn. If this was three
years ago, this place would have erupted. Until they were so into this
act man, Yeah, you're right, they were super fucking over, he
said around till two thousand and seven. Oh seven? Really yeah yeah,
Mini matches on Velocity and Dark Matches and No. Seven until earlier seven.
He's a good undercard guy. Now he's awesome. I like him so Albert
makes Chuck and Billy. As we get the match started, Albert makes Chuck
and Billy do the fall into your ball spot and then chuckles really really hard,
dude. Okay, yeah, Billy flops onto Chuck's cock and balls and
then Chuck grabs the back of his head and makes him blown. Yeah,
all right, trying to get him off I think something off of him.
Not like that, trying to make him got to get him off of him.
If Jared said, if you joined us on MTV, he last night
you saw the confrontation between Scotty and Albert and Billy and Chuck. Chuck and
Billy come on. Jr's like pissed at this point, say like they do.
They spine the balls and jigos Scotty too hot. You making a little
fun of Chuck. You don't want to tellent relations at you on TV.
So Albert gets a hot tag. It's a hour slam on Chuck and the
uh he hits the train in the corner, the old splash and Scotty.
Scotty goes to the worm, Chuck stops him. They tried to do a
lot here with the stop in the worm. That was pretty much the match
was like and I stopped the worm. Yes, and then he punches Billy.
You got that, let me see it. Let's have a wet god,
so he punches. He punches Billy by accident. This leads to Scotty
and Albert doing the worm combo, where Albert pantomime drinks Chuck then pulls Scotty
out of the ring at two. After the worm, he hits a super
kick on Albert. Scotty then runs into the famous serve from Billy and Chuck
and Billy win. Dude j R. Definitely fumbles over himself at the end,
trying to make sure he says a chuck Billy oh a fails and billion
of chuck and fuck. I hate this match more than you can imagine.
Jar stands up on the announcetable points of truck. You're so it is snowing
in Manhattan outside of the Madison Square Garden and it reminds you of the smackdowg
games where I could hit you as snubble God. That was awesome. I
uh I love that me too. That was I'm pretty sure that shut your
mouth that you can do that in Yeah, because it was the outside area
and it was a not snow you want and a snowy wan and yeah,
you can pick up this square. And I could be remembering this wrong.
It was it was Time of the Year base too, which is very awesome.
Yeah, that is sweet. So we go backstage. Charmel. Charmel
is here, backstage interviewer. I was very confused here because I was like,
Charmel backstage interviewing on the raw is worst set? Yeah, interviewing Chris
Jericho. Yeah that felt like long. Yeah. I was like, okay,
hey, Jericho's addresses are by name too. Yeah, Charmel. Jerco
gives a shit for He says, you address me the way I demand and
deserve to be addressed. The living legend larger than the life. I'm just
being w champion Chris Jericho. Larry S. Bbisko would have something to say
about the living legend part, and he does for many, many, many
many He still to this day probably still brings it up. And Jerko says,
and second of all, how gratifying was to see mister man leave Rick
Flair in a pool of his own blood. Jerko's like putting on a weird
voice sometimes here. I don't know what was going on. He's trying something
new, but he says he's gonna beat the Rock at the Rumble for the
unprecedented fifth time, and he said, you know what. Rick Flair also
booked me against Rikkeishi in a non title match tonight because Rick Flair and everybody
at home watching wants to see Chris Jericho get the stink face. So that
is fucking nuts. This is the chap. He is the double champ,
undisputed champ. He beat Rock and Austin and non title match and they want
to see the only reason he is booked on this show is because Rick Flair
wants to see him eat Rikishi's ass live and Rakeishi's runs like until SmackDown six
starts. He's cold as fuck, he's the ask me, yeah, he
is cold as fu. So he just like this feels like sabotage. I
didn't feel like they had much direction for Chris Jericho other than nah, when
are you losing? Wow, let's get you to Mania so you can lose
the triple. Ah, well come on now, yeah, So we go
backstage some more. Here Michael Cole starts his interview. He is very happy
to be here. Is he great to That is a square garden garden,
and then the shot pans over and Stone Cold is standing there, huge pop,
and Austin looks at him and says, what there we go? It
says, I was just saying it, but an incredible what incredible night?
What here tonight? What well? Steve? What? And he fucking annihilates
him with what's this whole time? And this prop crazy? They do the
whole time? And this fucks me up crazy because I've been using a Stone
Cold soundboard like on n L ship and the dude, that's what all of
this is, That's what it's all from business. This is the I was
like, wow, this is funked up. I've never seen this in real
time, at least I don't remember it. Austin says, what now?
Go ahead and go ahead. Cole says, what I was going to ask
you? What? Where? You're gonna ask me a bunch of questions?
Is that what you're gonna do? I'm not gonna answer your questions. I
got three things I want to talk about. Do you understand three? Go
ahead? Now, go ahead. The first thing I want to talk about
is themand I saw backstage tonight, I said, the man I saw backstage
the man I saw backstage with Triple H. It was trumple h trip.
He is getting it's every because he knows that there's what's in between all these
and I'm not listen for the viewer's sake. We don't got to put once
in between all of them. But you can imagine head and it's way worse
than you can imagine. You know what, Michael, I'm not here to
wish a man good luck because I came back from that same shortage, from
short of circumstances saying he almost had his career ended, he almost had to
quit, you understand me. So I'm not gonna wish him good luck.
How you're doing. Are you having a good day? It's been a long
time. I can't wait to look that man right in the eye, face
to face. The other thing I want to talk about, Michael, a
stone called Steve Austin is entering himself in the Royal Rumble. So this is
like the big declarate declaration day of the Rumble. That's the fucking everyone's promos
here about the fucking Royal Rumble, which I kind of like it made him
feel important instead of like, you know, just fucking Scott, is you
haughty after the match, and hey, I'm in the rumble, Star said,
I'm in the rumble, and then you're you remind yourself, Oh shit,
there's other people when they're all gonna lose. Yeah, you're right,
Austin says, Uh, you know that match where you take the some bitch
and you throw him over the top rope. That's what Stone Cold's gonna do.
Throw twenty nine other some bitch is over the top rope and advance to
WrestleMania. Let me, let me make it simple for you. I'm gonna
throw a man over the top rope, and then another what, and then
another what, and then another what, another what, another what, another
what? He does this legitimately, I think twenty nine times, he says
another, like it's unfucking believable. You have to you can only be stone
Cold over to be able to get away with this, because this is fucking
out of control. Austin's how many was that? You get the picture?
Stone CoA Sis is gonna throw twenty nine some bitch over the top rope and
he's gonna wrestle Mania. The other thing I want to talk about is MSG
right here in Madison Square Gardens don't coach Steve Bawston team with the rock,
the great one, the most electrified man sports entertainment. This isn't so funny,
and we're gonna open a big fat can of wood bash on Booker T.
And that's sorry, some bitch that Big boss Man, because Big boss
Man and Booker T ain't gonna run rough shot over the good name of don't
go to I two some bitches to some bitches, to some bitches, to
some bitches. I'm gonna get their act. And that's the bottom line.
And that'sh the bottom line, d the bottle line, because don't Coach said
this is they play music to end a backstage from He's the only person ever
jerk is gonna play. I've never seen the backstage of music. Last I
thought he was coming out into the ring. I was like, oh,
their matches next, that would have been nuts. He's in jeans and T
shirt. I'm coming. I was talking about match that said my match right
now, right now. If you do any more, we're going to cut
time from your match. Well, I bet there's a match later that got
cut because of this fucking provo. I don't think so. Maybe the next
I don't think I believe that this is right. So it comes back from
commercial. Jerry Lawler is straight up joking it. He's jerking off. What's
going on here? By drinking, I mean by super Soaker. Yeah,
so he's pumping up this super Soaker because he will be the judge for the
wet T Shirt contest w w F Women's World's Championship Match. Where is the
committe? Dude? Anyone know where the committee's at? Because a step in
more like comb titty what I said, comitt? Okay, Yeah, Lawler
is fucking making it look like he's jerking off. And JR. Legit looks
over, looks down at his cock and says, and what is that big
old thing in your hand? And Lala says, yeah, I got great
news. Look at the super Soaker. I'm gonna MC the one T shirt
contest. Oh that's hush great alright, So Raw should go to jail.
I called the police. Another number Raw is brought to you by black Hawk
Down the movie Yeah, Stacker two and Final Fantasy X. That's a good
night right there. Yeah, I mean you know X two is better because
they gave the girls the guns. You know, is my favorite character.
So we go to edge of her. This is Lance Storm for the Intercontinental
title here and it's done, and we're done. It's all right, moving
on. This was fucking unbelievable. Landstorm gets to the ring. They immediately
lock up before the bell rings, and I said, well, this is
fucking done. Soon the Storm makes a b line down the ring too.
He just gets right in the ring and ready to go. Let's go.
They were probably given legit like seventy seconds like entrance to entrance like this,
legit like hurting a curtain and James, why do you think that is?
What? What? Because somebody keep talking about they're super soak or someone's joking
in our commentary, Hey buddy, how about we have a title match?
You're kissing me off. I don't want to see this fucking Landstorm match either.
Actually, to be fairly yeah, the Storm, he tries to get
up quick. Here goes to the top rope edge drop kicks on the mid
air. They had so much more of this match, I guarantee it.
But this is a great seventy second match. Crowd as an airhorn by the
way. Here Landstorm gets a single leg in edge for the rope and then
he has the education of wins. They were stuck though they were the you
know, everything was there, like, sure it was, but like the
icy title sanctioned match, this is for the belt. Where is the fucking
committee? Where is fucking committee? Man? Are you kidding? Mello dude?
Why does Rick Claer not care about the titles? Yeah, you're right,
Well he's probably fucking getting stitched up in the back. Yeah, he
left a medical facility who gave this match sixty seconds? Jack was bumping a
super six. What happened to this damn fucking company the sport. So Edge
goes up the ramp and uh William Regal attacks him while they're in the replay.
Oh ship, Yeah, I think Regal is coming back off of a
nose in tree. Oh okay, so everyone's just getting punched in the head
on this show. Everyone's fucking these days. Yeah, it cuts back and
Regal hits the power of the punch on Edge. What game all time or
mid guard gimmick? Yeah, this shit's awesome. Yeah, Regal like didn't
it wasn't the focus of his matches. Obviously they would check him before,
you know what, I mean to see if he had he still would wrestle
like he was trying to win, and then when he couldn't, he then
the nuts. It was funny as fuck. He'd hide it in like the
turnbuckles, and then they check him and then he wouldn't have it, and
then he would put it in his partner's pants. Yeah, this is a
really good gimmick. I thought. A gimmick that I thought was going to
reach the potential of this was the Shawn Spears loaded glove with Tully gimmick.
Dude, me too, I love the loaded glove. Yeah, me too.
I thought that was not everybody did, though, James, Yeah,
not everybody did. So he goes backstage. Kurt Angle is here with Christian
who is the Europeans Champion, not on the show wrestling, just here to
hang out with Guyah. Maybe he had a match and was cut because someone
had to go. What what so? Yeah, Edgine Chrischner backstage or sorry,
I wrote, Edginene, Christian kurtin Christianer backstage? Chris is I don't
get it? What's the big deal about triplege anyway? Who is the guy
who sings handily saved the wf it's friber series And Christian says, well,
that was you, Kurt, Kurt says, and who's the guy who brings
happiness enjoyed all the children all over the world every single day, says Hangle,
that's right, And Kurt says, where was triumple Az during the invasion
anyway? And Chris says he was probably at home spinning YouTube records or something,
and then it immediately cuts the transition the hardest I've ever seen. It's
always home you two records. So yeah, I guess they couldn't talk about
YouTube anymore after like that. They like, if they thought they'd get in
trouble with fucking Bono if they did ship on YouTube on this show from two
thousand and one and kept it on Peacock. Now this is didn't want to
hear Christian talk, got it screen right now. It's like rushed the production
drug and just clicked the button. He's on. Well on the actual show,
there's fucking like more, which I was like, Okay, why they
cut this off Peacock. I don't understand. Wait is there I haven't seen
this? Oh yeah, no, sorry, there is more. Yeah,
that's what I was saying, Like I thought, I was like, why
can they not like talk about you too? Because they legit so like,
yeah, so on the actual show, Kurt says, you too, you
know what he probably was. I can't stand that song. You know,
it's a beautiful day when I won the Olympic gold medals. Another one was
when I won the WWF title both times. And you want to know another
beautiful day. And Christian says when I became the Champion of Europe, and
Kurt says, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a good one.
But you know, I'm not gonna let a guy like Triple h a guy
that tour his his quadricep. He was out eight months. I tear my
quadracep all the time. I tore it this morning and I'm here, I'm
fine. I'm not letting a guy like that steal my thunder. And Christian
says, you know what you need to do tonight, Kurt, You need
to make tonight your personal beautiful day. That's what it is. I don't
know why the cot that out. That was awesome. So now we move
to the Rock and Steve Austin versus Booker T and the big boss Man boss
Man. Oh yeah, he's not big boss Man. He's a normal boss
man. He's definitely big. He's hired by Booker T I guess right,
Boston, that's what helped something like that. Yeah, he's the hired good
give help. Yeah, well it doesn't last, sadly. So the second
Hour starts exactly on the Rocks entrance that right, they were locked in.
That was the war Zone thing. They did this a lot. By the
way, there was another show we watched to where they had the Rock and
like somebody in a tag match, maybe it was Hogan, and it was
like, the Second Hour starts exactly on the Rocks entrance. They were the
heels came out already and it was already the big popular phases come out.
Yeah, that's a very smart During Steve Austin's entrance at the end, you
can hear someone just yelling whoo bleeding. It is just as loud as the
commentary. And it is one guy. I don't know if he's like standing
on the mic. It's flair gushing blood still just came out, fucking PUSHI
kicked him out of the ring, get on there back. So the Rock
instantly rushes to the outside and we hot start this match here, dude.
Yeah, they both go out there and they both attack Booker and Boss Man,
and for the first portion of this match, it's Austin and the ring
fucking one of them up. He bumps him out, and then the rock
will throw the other one in and then Austin will suck him up. Yeah,
this was a fun tag I thought. I thought they did a good
job. I mean, boss Man did get his ass whooped in this,
I'll tell you that much. Austin hot shots Booker. He drops an elbow
on him, also seamlessly. I think a lot of people forget that Austin
is just a very good worker. Also, like he gets lost in between
his character work and like all his moments, like, yeah, he's a
super good wrestler. He's dialed in crazy here too, Austin is giving some
super stiff shots in the corner. Here, Booker gives him an atomic drop
Steve Austin no sells it double bird, and then hits him with a fucking
meaning line. Why did he I have no idea? He has no balls.
So Steve Austin starts kicking Boston Man in the corner and the crowd is
chanting what for these stops crazy? Austin reverses a line from boss Man and
gives them a line like this is the main eventomania type shit. Dude,
he throws it on like he's trying to take his fucking head off. Yeah,
yeah, this was awesome seeing Austin work like this. It's two thousand
and two and like Austin can still work and like it's so sad that his
run is coming up soon. I know it doesn't feel right. It shouldn't
be. Stone Cold comes in. He spinebusters the shit out of Booker.
Here Man just fucking gives him one. Boss Man puts Rock up in the
corner and starts headbutting his don't this is awesome. Rock fires back, but
then boss Man lines him back down and Rock takes this crazy floating bump for
this. Like this line is like, h he was giving up for everybody
at that time too, Like Rock was not afraid to bump. Booker hits
Rock with a super kick with boss Man holding him. I think he was
supposed to be the Harlem sidekick, but like boss so he just blown.
What do you want from him? They call it a straight martial arts gig
martial arts kick. He comes in, They start getting keat on Rock.
They take control of the match. Here Booker chops this ship out of the
Rock, and then the Rock turns his ass around and starts giving him some
meaning. That's so Booker goes for the scissor kick, but Rock moves out
of the way hits a d DT for the double down. Crowd is molten
for this moment. Here, this this crowd is really dursematch. Austin hot
tags he's lying everybody. He give his boss Man the dirtiest fucking bag body
and spinebuster of all time. The back body drop is unbelievable, like Austin,
it's it's like a football tackle. He like, boss Man had to
get thrown over my stone cold for this thing. It is shoot blown snow
son. I don't know if it was that one or when Rock whips Botsman
off the ropes, but like he backs Bossman up and you can hear boss
Man going he's fucked. So Austin starts doing the wee kicks again on boss
Man, but Booker stops him. The Rock comes in behind him and his
the punch combo to sent him out of the ring. Austin hits the stunner
on boss Man and it's all over. They win the match. Bosman tried
to hit him with the nightstick, but Austin caught him off happening. No,
he had hit Rock with it earlier on the outside in Jerry, I'm
not a fucking a nice dick, this guy five years So Austin and Rocks
share beers afterwards and all as well, I guess did. Yeah, Austin
gives Rock a beer. They're like kind of face to face aggressively. Then
Austins, like, you know, go to the corner and then he stops
before he goes to his corner, turns and walks to another corner and just
dumps a fuck load of beer on Bossman's head on the outside. It's funny
as fuck. Yeah, this is a great tag Austin was for this one,
and Rock and Steve Austin are a great tag team. They definitely had
a great time blowing up bost Man. Yeah, that shit was awesome.
Yeah, that was funny as helle. So it shows Jericho in the back
and j R. Jericho is the undisputed Champion of the World WWF and ww
Champions, both those fucking titles, and JR says littish man end up in
the butt cheeks of Kushi. This is the undisputed Champion of the World.
You think that pretty fish can end up in but cheeks? Dude? Fuck
up? Chris Jericho versus Rakeshi non title not even an eliminator matches up now,
dude, this is a non title can Jericho eat some ass match?
Great story here, So they announced that the main tonight is a WWF tag
team title match between the Dudley Boys and tazin Spike hardcore match too. It's
not the fucking wet T shirt contest. I guess that's a match. It
is for the title. Rakes. She goes for the stink face early in
this one, but Nick Patrick stops him. Uh yeah, he said,
I gotta tell this story, brother. Why does Big Patrick stop him?
Because he's the heeled rev that as to Big Son to him backstage. They
fight to the outside and Rakeshi is whooping Jericho's ass. Dude tries to lawn
dark jergo into the post, flies down his back and sends him into it.
He he rips into the fucking pole there and then rips his barricade apart.
Yeah, well, this guy's trying to stick his ass his face.
What's wrong with that? So Jericho then gets him in the ring hits him
with some running kicks in the mid section. These make a crazy thought he
has in his share this dude. And then Rakeshi repaid the favor by hitting
an alcabam a slam on j That was fucking gnarly. He had him up
there so long, jay Or said, he's getting a little preview back there.
Rakesha then drags Jericho's lifeless body to the corner. He's going for the
bonzeye drop the rump shakers what he eventually called it. I believe, of
course. Yes. Nick Patrick tries to stop him against the ass too much
as and that creates enough time for Jericho to move and Rakesha just takes this
fucking move straight on his ass whole dude. That's kind. It's gotta be
fucking hard. It's gotta be the worst thing ever. Yeah, man,
he really sends it to you in the corner too. He just sits right
down, like you think that was worse or him sitting on Doug Bachel's face.
I don't know. There's at least some reprieve there. This would here
straight to the mat. That's tough in the corner too. Off Jr.
Says that after he he laid his ass on the mat. Chair says.
The lights on the top of the Empire State Building have just flickered, going
crazy. He's junking off the super so water coming everywhere. So Jericho,
that's definitely what Tazi Scalier, right. Jericho bags in and Nick Patrick get
into the corner and now they boasted off for the stink face and Jered Jerko
moves out away and Nick Patrick takes this steak face. His flail is legendary.
Here Ah going crazy in the corner, his arms over the place.
He's coughing Jerry Lawler's coffin, everybody's coffin. It's so steeky drive even on
something sticky. It's just his ass is not fooding there right now because it's
no man like that could be a normal smelling gym. No one's wiping that
sucker. Oh ship, no wipe, Oh my man. It just all
the walls of his ass ship. That's what That's what the box I should
have been called, Not the walls of jerking, the walks of my eyes.
It's crazy tweaking. Let you bit wiper, ass man said, Jericho
hits for gise you with the title, and he gets out there, no
ass in the face. He pens with a title and wins, then fall
all right, he shoulders are coming off the med to the ref. Stoke
gout because you can't see. Why was this not? Eyes are full of
ships. His shoulders aren't even up down. What are you talking about?
Who cares you talking about? That's the champion? Please hello ship? Yeah,
so I got backstage. Big Show Tory Wilson and Todd Jerry are here.
Uh the Big Show, dude, Big Show Toddy is flexed out nut
style. Did Jerry bucket head off the ship? I mean, like for
real? Their dressed make with the dad head on. What the is this?
You looked good? I thought could look for him here Triple standing behind
the camera on the shot holding Big Shows contract and slowly tearing it. If
we didn't fucking talk good about him, Big Show might as well have been
deep throat and this ship live on TV. He should have been on the
ride, tricks on it. They let him take the walls of his a.
Big Show says he's talking to Jerry, and Toy says, trust me
now that he's back, competition is definitely going through the roof. Fucking ship,
dude, Tori says, oh, I never metroplates, but I'm excited.
Well, Big Show says he set the bar for everyone in this company.
Holy ship. He used to meet something here. Man. Yeah,
man, he didn't really mean much for long, like half a match.
There was somebody else's mats and he started crying the undertaker, you were done
well, Kurt walks in. He says, I can't believe this. You
guys are like teenagers. Yeah, please, you guys are like teenagers and
are Ricky Martin concert. It's Triple A's for goodness sake. Ricky Rinky Bicho
says, you know, Triple A sets a standard way above everyone else.
Oh my god, I have a headache. I can't believe this. I
can't believe they did this to this man. But show why. Kurt says,
I'm i the only one that remembers that Triple has made everyone's like miserable
here before he got hurt. What is the big deal? You're unbelievable.
And then Kurt leaves and to Jerry, says Ricky Martin, here tonight live
a Divina. Look he starts dancing. Please calm down, dude, you
think about Triple H like Triple what's your favorite movie with triple h Wow,
I fucking couldn't believe this ship, dude. They might as well just put
a triple outfit. Oh man, that's nuts. Yeah, the whole world.
Yeah, it's so funny. I remember the Triple Ah segment like it
was yesterday. I don't remember anything else about this. Then sucking them off
the whole time. I don't remember the cock ride. And he set the
standard for their World Wrestling Federation. Everyone better get better now the triple bag
we were sucking for a minute. Man, Yeah, the ratings are horrible.
We gotta start working now again to Jerry land storm out there on this
fight for the title le Janner a few months ago. Yeah, mom,
put on a hamburger juice or we can't have that, no Moore. So
we got backstage. Spike Dudley is getting ready shadow boxing. But sorry.
Just before that, they go to commentary and j R. Says should not
show you put in ice water in that super soaked and Lalla says, yes
you did. I'm gonna turn those puppies into pointers to night. I just
want to make sure you heard that. There's a cold shell for you,
but fight back for Devon yeah, and Devon comes in. He pushes Spike.
He's his hate Spike and he shoulder tackles him again and Spike pushes his
bag back off. Chump. I was straight out of the video game.
That was crazy. Yeah, man, this was pretty cool. Well,
it started like real cheesy and then it got better. Yeah, Bubba holds
Yvon back and then Tas walks in and Bubba says, hey, Taz,
shouldn't he be shouldn't you be getting ready for Sunday Night heater choking out your
mother or something? Well, you held those titles so much it sounds like
you guys have chips on your shoulders. Well as why you got you why
you read off the sheet like this? Yeah, man, you you used
to be a good promo man. You have to tell us much. You
got chips on your shord. They turned to the camera and Triple Ah has
always been one of the best athletes in I'd love when he beat me and
I was easy to be champion. That was great. Devon, you asshole,
dude. He should have said, you talk about my mother, I'll
kill you on the streets of Brooklyn. Goddamn. Yeah, what the fuck?
He just checked your credit and your mom. You better say something crazy,
yea man, And Devon says Bubba, we got chips on our shoulders.
Will Taz while you come and knock those chips off? And Bubba says
Devon, they can't, they're too small. Tazz and Spiker offscreen now and
Bubba says, Taz, you know your problem is you forgot where you came
from. And this, this is what upset Taz. He comes back and
gets some Bubba's face and says, next, I'm gonna bring you back to
where we came from. You bring your bodies, your hearts, see your
asses and your pretty litw titles, and we're gonna take it from you.
I gonna take your ass next right here in the garden, and Bubba says,
back where we came from. We won't see if you remember this,
beat us if we can, and the it was this was cool. The
crowd yells survived. I was, oh, man, there's still hope for
test. There's not hope tests. He's in the jumpsuit, man, So
yeah, he's in the jumps survive if we let you and turn into a
great promo at the end. It's so funny that like these guys when they're
off the cuff, are way better than like Taz going in. You guys
held those Donalds so much you got your I know, man, come on,
Taz is spiked. Dudley versus the Dudley Boys tag titles on the line
hardcore match. I thought technically this was the main event of the Garden Strong.
I guess technically it was the wet t shirt contest. So Taz still
gets pyro and shit, he's got the smoke he's I mean, they got
that still, but he's in the jumpsuit. He least keeps. That's the
only thing he keeps is the viro. Stacey comes out here with the Dudley
Boys, The Duchess of Dudleyville is here. Yeah, she looks great.
I love this this trio. It's very cool too. Uh. This is
probably one of the last remnants of what the Dudi Boys had. Like they're
run after Stacy leaves, is kind of rough, and then they leave to
go to but they but they do stick around for a long time. But
the time they stick around, they don't really like everyone's like Jesus Christ.
Yeah, their heres are all four five A man, it might well it
was five because we saw Taker versus the Dudley's Oh yeah, sure, Okay,
that's right. One of the worst matches I've ever seen in my life.
Yeah, with fake Paul Bear. Was that the main of that show.
It was great America, bad fucking, horrible, fucking show. That
was Yeah. Wow, you can watch that with us on our Patreon if
you'd like. Yeah, that was probably like the last go there. Yeah,
sufer with us. Uh, they do get They do start an e
c W chant early here, which was cue Bubba starts whipping Spike with the
tag belt on the ramp. I know that shit hurt. He whips the
fuck out of him with it, and he throws him so hard into the
ring that I was like, wow, Spike's gonna it actually injured her.
Yeah. I love like especially the WWF, like the guys they get to
work together regularly, and especially the guys that had like b for like work
together in other companies, they get a chance to do this that they work
super snug, like this is a snug show all around, Like everyone was
really on each other's ass. Yeah, and it made it a very easy
watch, like when the guys are really in there doing their thing, like
it makes it easy Bubba kills Taz with his trash can lid, I mean
like the multi Yeah, just takes them out, Bubba and then comes in,
Yeah, like right in the head. The Ta is known for like
taking the headshots at ECW or anything either, Like he's fucking annihilating him with
his fucking trash can lid. Bubba comes in. He sprays the fire extinguisher
on Spike's face. That was funny as fuck. That probably was horrible.
Yeah, Spike one for a sunset and Bubba's holding a fire extinguisher and just
shoots the fire exiguiser juice right down in the Yeah, dude, it's so
mind. Bubba then kills Taz again with his trash can lid, and the
does the Dudley's hit the waz up theatrics. Okay, I was yes,
why maybe because of the yeah, then they don't do the we got the
table or get the tables either two thousand and two, that's what they did.
Anything cool? You did take it away type? Maybe take maybe just
don't do the was up move. Nah, We're going to hear it.
Devon does his taunt and then Bubba smacks his chest and he says, Devon
and then he whispers in his ears that is funny as fucking and then Devon
goes against the tables. He smiles super big too after he whispers in his
ear and the crowd boom. Jerry Loler on commentary says, Oh, maybe
Stacy Keebler can come over here and I can whisper something into her mouth.
When you stop, we got the sell crazy done up for you, buddy,
h Spike Dudley comes in head butt cheese. I couldn't believe it.
Spike goes with the acid dry up on Devon, but Bubba moves the table,
uh, and so he just hits the mat and this happens a few
times. He here. That's so, then the match is now about who's
going through the table and gets spiked to the Dudley dog through it. So
TAZ gets the TAZ mission. Got no, it's mission here right the mission?
Yeah? Yeah yeah, so is a TAS mission on Devon and Spike
goes for the Dudley dog on Bubba. The table gets moved out of the
way again and Bubba straight up tosses Spike all the way across the ring.
That shit looks crazy man. Bubba loads him up crazy and throws him like
a fucking javelin like Spike lands crazy. I was like, that is brutal.
It probably would have felt better going through the table. Yeah, really
just the floor. Probably just go ahead and throw me outside. So Stacy
Keebler then gets up on the apron. He uses ass hypnosis on Taz,
which is her finisher in some of the day recorded games. They take a
box. Yeah, like an explosion from her? How come like RAKESHI never
on lot in this tag? Are you kidding me? Yeah? This wasn't
enough. There wasn't no killer Clown's hymno a glore with his a. Taz
then grabs Bubba from behind. Bubba has now been drawn into the acipnosis to
Stacy is his manager. The ability is too strong. It must be nerved.
Nerve this please, Yeah, Bubba try to tag Taz and switch plays
with him and yeah, now he's staring at Stacy's ass. He's all fucked
up. Taz grabs Bubba from behind and hits a taz plex on the table.
Because it does not break, yes, not through. It is on
Bubba's The top of Bubba's head hits the table and the table flips over it
fucked up, it breaks the table leg Do you think the table was supposed
to even be there? Because Spike then hits the Dudley Dog through the table
and Spike pins Bubba to win the tag titles here? Do you think that
the table wasn't supposed to be there? I only think it was because Taz
set it up there in the middle. Yeah sure maybe, but maybe something
like someone was supposed to move it or something. Oh maybe they just don't
because yeah, wh how the funk was that gonna work? It was a
long way? Yeah, and Bubba was like, okay, well he was
in the asset noses forever, but I get it, you know, but
uh yeah, I definitely because because the finishes through the table. So maybe
they I mean they could have just why you know, but I mean calling
a Taz plex throw a table a long way head style pretty fucking nuts.
So I think you're right. Yeah, yeah, that ship probably hurt very
bad. It must have been horrific. Its horrible, yeah for real.
But yeah, they win the tag titles. Big moment here in massive square
Garden. This should be the main event but nope, but oh yes,
dude, the Dudley Dog, that fucking Spike hits like Bubba has to practically
walk across the ring to put himself through the table. He walks in and
takes the biggest jump ever. Yeah, I mean, good on him for
being committed to it. But yeah, Spike pins Bubba, they win the
tag toes. I'm pretty sure Spike and Bubba are sorry, Spike and Tazz
are tag champs going into wrestling? Is is this seventeen? Was going about
eighteen eighteen? Yeah, yeah, because I think we watched that or something
like that, something like that. Yeah, yeah, we're probably I think
we said, how the hell are Taz and Spiked the tag champs? Right?
You know, we know, yeah, yeah, there you go.
I like when guys, so they were snug as shit here, they did
a lot of big stuff. They didn't have like infinite time or anything,
but they wanted to make sure that it was a big moment. And I
know that to Bubba and Devon dropping the belts here probably mean a lot to
them to pass it on to Tazz and Spike here too. So in MSG
in New York, you know, like yeah, and like I think that's
there's something very cool, like that's like only a wrestling thing that exists where
like the guys are willing, like Bubba took some crazy shit here, especially
at the end of this match. Yeah, and I think that was like
kind of cool that, like when you pass the belt, you make sure
that you make the other guys look as great as possible like that. I
don't know, there's just some chairs. Yeah, sure, no, I
agree, which I thought was very cool. And my mind before we started
talking was that was very nice them to do that in the main event.
That would have been nice as a main event, but the event as a
gr No. Next next to the Wet Yes extremely Wet T Shirt contest is
up next. They show Trish backstage getting ready. How do you get ready
for a wet T shirt contest? You think, Tony put on a dry
T shirt and then you take off your bra. We get a WWF Royal
Rumble two thousand and two commercial. If you build it, they will come.
I've never seen I don't know if I've ever seen this commercial. It
was like I used to love the stylized commercials. I do too. I
liked it a lot. It was like a they had a ring in but
like in a old Western kind of setting. I don't know how you describe
it. Yeah, that's right. Uh. And then they had a bunch
of sumo guys rush the ring, and then a bunch of small cowboys and
they all were started fighting, all right, So yeah that's wrestling. Yeah,
yeah, they I wish they would continue to do stuff like this.
I don't think they do it too much anymore, you know, I don't
think so. Yeah, that's as far as I never WrestleMania. Maybe they
do WrestleMania promos, but that's about it. Yeah. I think these were
cool and like they were the only company that could really fucking do it,
like you know, like, yeah, it should cost a lot of money.
It does. It costs a ton of money. Oh yeah, I
guess they're not in the business to do that no more so. Noah,
Sure, we got to a pre tape. Undertaker is here to dick ride
a dude. Undertaker in front of Blue Curtain. He's like, I'm not
showing up tonight. I'll tell you that. Yeah, he says, uh,
triple A to Night's the Big Night, the Big return Man. The
Hypes went off the chart special videos talking about the long Road back videos.
Then you mentioned your name that people get crazy, dude, fuck this shit
man, I'm tired of it. Man, goddamn, he says. You
must think, Wow, they really respect me. Well, let me fill
you in on something, Triple Ah. They don't respect you. They don't
respect people like us. They use us. All they want out of us
is our blood, our pain. And what they want from you, Triple
H is for you to reinjure that leg. Is that right? All right?
Well, I'm not here to bring you down. I want you to
enjoy your big night, bat, but don't forget who runs the yard and
at the Royal Rumble. When I win, I'll be the only dog standing
in the middle of the ring, all right, Ah, Who gives a
shit about what the Undertaker has to say? So now it's time for the
Wet T Shirt Contest event match. Jerry Lawler is out here standing with the
super Soaker. It's full attention. This is for the WF Women's Championship.
Yeah, Lawler says, So Terry comes out in a robe. I'm not
sure why the robes are necessary. It's not like it's an unveiling of the
T shirt contest. It's a wet T shirt contest, So disregard. Lalla
says, Oh, this here's a super soacred Terry, I call my love
gun and Jerry says, love gun. God Lalla says, let me explain
the rules. It's gonna be a wet t shirt contest, and you,
the audience, are gonna be the judges, and I'm gonna soak you both

it is. Who's ever titties look better? Wet wins? The women's champions,

Great fucking reaction when he comes out, though, like man, he
does the water spit and Lawler yells he's back and just in time for a
