TLF Unwrappening Gift 9

It's the Lapsed Fan Wrestling podcast with Jack and Corn, Seo and JP Sorrow.
Well, it's the continuation of the TLF Christmas Show twenty twenty three.
The Unwrapping two continues to unfold remotely as packages continue to populate the po box
this Christmas season, Boss, we've we've opened a wide range of things.
And what are we looking at right now? This one holding it up to
the screen and it is Martin Ferguson. This is a big one. Yeah,
this is a big one from Germany. Oh it says on it what
it is. Yeah, figures chocolate, sweets, Christmas cards. Oh my
goodness. This is an overwhelming Christmas, an overflowing, a teeming Christmas bounty
from deutsch Land. Can you'd make German sounds for us as we go?
Here? The UK? It's it's Scotland in the UK. Oh, I
thought Martin was from Germany? What am I thinking of? Then? I
don't know? God, I'm sorry, Well sorry, Martin, don't make
those noises. I take it back, Figure pudding and and the rest Hot
Toddies. Yeah, there we go. That's right, that's right, all
right? Shall we do it? Shall I believe this is a package that
was, to Martin's horror, arrived and then was returned by the post office
for failure to be retrieved in time or something like that. I don't know
what happened, but it ended up all the way back across the pond and
then got recent because Martin means business to that degree. It's weird because I've
had stuff waiting in there for much longer than this. Yeah, maybe it's
the size of the package that there's a smaller shelf life in terms of how
long they'll hang on to it. I don't know. And it has looked
it's like it's a hurting package. It's been through. It's been through it.
That's true. Christmas season, that's right. Stay here, this is
commencing. Still don't even have a fucking you know, I still have.
We got in the hint be a pair of fucking scissors down there. Literally,
we were doing we were we were about to start, and I was
like, oh, I gotta get scissors. And I'm like, of course,
and my daughter's craft area there would be scissors, right, Why would
there be scissors. That's a fucking craft area, for God's sake. Well,
that's the thing. She said the same thing, and that's why they
had taken out of the craft area. Also in the craft area mac and
cheese. Uh okay, oh my god, I suppose, I mean,
where are we please? All right, I guess we'll start with this.
This is the Christmas card after gifts, Okay, to open after there's instructions.
There are instructions. This is to you. So it's in some nice
red tissue paper. That's a Christmas box if I've ever seen one. Oh,
oh my god, what is that bobblehead of? What of Gene Jane
A mean Jean bobblehead? Or are those called Funko pops? Are Funko poppers
or whatever? That? The Flair one Blair? Does Flair have a robe
on there? I couldn't tell Flair Flair has the black robe with like the
the silver butterflies. Do you don't much know much about wrestling Funko pops?
Did they come out with like more than one of There are so many funco
pops like you see the most random ones these days. I'm always blown away
by it. So I have no idea why or how many, but they
I'll tell you if if I may expostulate momentarily on that Ginokoland one. What's
next? Oh yeah, these are mine? These is the ones he gave
to me. Not cho King, not even with the crown, so wacky.
That's the crown they were looking for on Most Wanted Treasures. Marham Marham
a Maha Christmas Funko Pops come in your Chairman's way, Gene Okerland, Macho
Man, Randy Savage, Making Boy, Rick Flaire, The American Dream,
Dusky Rhads. We got some malt teasers. Malt teesers are those like malted
chocolate bars. They looks like malted chocolate ball So I guess like whoppers.
Just finished tweeting not long ago. We love British candy of the holidays.
What's that dairy milk? Oh my gosh, some proper Christmas sweet spots indeed?
Uh fruit This is from Scrooge's kitchen. A lever stealing fruit pesteels from
our friends at round Trees Vegan friendly on top and friendly looking at Daniel Brian
Approved Christmas Tree is a baby food Confections, irresistibly indulgent tablet. What the
fuck? Something? What is that? Some things are worth sharing? Yeah?
Yeah, because I don't want to eat it. That's why is this
Christmas candy or is this like acid that I'm drafting? A brilliant buttery tablet
made to a traditional Scottish recipe, not made from but made to one.
Oh man, that's being real. So oh that is Scottish. And then
that's a lovely tree. We got these things here. Let's see what we
got. Oh wow, oh wow? In their wrapper. These are the
WCW ninety one trading cards that we talk about all the time. That was
my Those are my touchdowns for Bluebaro w CW. As a kid, I
had for some reason, you know, dozens of pats of those. That's
crazy. That's how I got to know a lot of the roster. Wow,
open them up, all right? Oh we were doing that all right.
I wasn't sure they were there. I guess they're probably worth like a
buck or something. Yeah, that would be that'd be quite a look off.
We had our fans send us Christmas gifts and then turned around and fucking
resold them. Isn't regifting bad form, especially when they come from scott all
the way from Scotland. He's a lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack and Carno
and JP Sorow. It's the lapsed fan wrestling podcast. So the first one
we have is Doom but just Ron Simmons, Oh Gionte card. Yeah,
man, you know I would. I would occasionally watch Saturday Night, but
this age, I was a whole camniac. Of course. Of course all
these cards were like, yep, that Terry Taylor, I remember these.
I think what happened is they had a full box on sale of them at
the grocery store, and bet somebody my family just bought like a whole box
because I had so many of these. I've never seen that one. That's
Scott Steiner after That's not what it says though. It's the Steiner Brothers card,
but just one member of the team picture. That's the second time that's
happened in the deck. It's like Steiner Descutt finished double arm under Hushing in
Japan. Is just a rock and Roll Express card. They got that one
right, Just Ricky Morton. It's Richard Morton, which sent Vicious in a
Blue sing with Blue with the Blue I remember the black one. Another Doom
with just Ron Simmons, this time just Ron Simmons executing a soup play.
Yeah so far no, uh no, Butcher read in these at all.
Just Ron Simmons again, Tommy Rich the wildfire working that headlock on the canvas,
Tommy Poor. It sup puts me where I need to be. It
puts me where I need to be. Actually right here, dutch Man Telecard,
I'm fucking getting having diarrhea. I remember him being in w CW at
that time. Do you another tag team card? Yeah, the Fabulous free
Birds and it's just Jimmy Garvin. You can keep that one, boss,
That one's just for you. Take a look at his fucking Jimmy, the
least fucking free bird of them all, you know, you think about it,
right, But he can't even see his face. It's all fucking covered
like Luca Bear hugging Flair with his Yeah, his face is with his face
buried in Flare's boozy chest. Oh this is wild Oh my god, I'm
gonna just say so, who do you think this card is of Lex Luger?
He's cutting a promo Jim Ross Gott Jim Ross in the background and like
partially cut off were prominently shown is Lex Luger? This is w CW tw
A T they're fucking incoming pack too. There we go. No of all
the cards. I remember having from this line as a kid. I don't
recognize a single one you've shown me so far. Sting a Sting working over
somebody and with his back to the camera. That's always a great action shot.
The fuck is the worst Rick Flair fucking shot ever. Yeah, he's
just lumbering around doing nothing interesting, just grabbing a guy under the chin.
I can't get enough of these fucking tag team shots. Southern Boys with just
Tracy Smothers in frame. The worst fucking photos. You know, when you
do Sid doing a gorilla press to Sting. When you do a gorilla press,
the moment is when you lock it out and your arms are extended.
They took a picture when Sting is balancing on the top of Sid's head,
still in transition. Sid looks like he's taking a ship. Finally, a
good one with a big gold or herd. Got his hands on his locks,
his flowing golden locks. Southern Boys plural. Hey guys, you know
when we do tag team cards, we're gonna have a problem with these dimensions.
Did anybody think about this before starting capacity up here? This is after
she gave a blowsjob. I think the beautiful Missy Hyatt. Why don't wish
she has a green Maybe because when women have green, her her card is
green. Like I haven't seen a green one yet. Must is j R's
of JR jrs is Gream. I wonder if it's non wrestling talent. She
wasn't the only person on roster with a green card back then. I can
tell you that Arn's it's not bad. Yeah, I like that one.
Very nervous. Brian Pillman with the corner mount punches on the nature just is
flying. Brian, by the way, finally got some butchery going on Doom.
Doom very happy to be putting that headlock on Sting. You think there's
a generation kids who grew up thinking Doom was one black wrestler. Because of
these cars, I imagine there must be. I imagine they're confusing. I
imagine that for you know, look at these. If you get a if
you get a Southern Boys one with yes Tracy smothers like, wait a minute,
I don't understand. How is he the Southern Boys? Well that's plural,
but I mean Doom. You could think like that. But again,
but you don't see another person if you get if you got and we have
in the previous set, we had Doom with two of Ron Simmons, like
you know, you you know if you get two algahonte ye, if you
get two uh Southern boys with where it gets? Where it gets really absurd?
Is that one card with two pictures of Tracy Smothers under Southern Boys right
against you to about puns. It's very weird. You think if I had
room for that, I could at least fit Steve Armstrong in that fly.
What the fuck is he doing? Is he doing the iron cheek Persian Clubs?
I think so the Persian Club Club have hummus on it. It looks
like he may be we're taking a load on his face. I think.
Merry Christmas. There flying Brian. All right, here's number three, no
repeat so far. That's good. Yeah, that's actually quite quite a feat.
So this is the third pack, third pack? How many packs are
their total? Four? Total? Oh? I thought there were only two?
There four arden ferguson coming through Strong, We love the We love the
Diverse grab bag. Yes those are for odds and ends Steiner Brothers. Guess
who's pictured? Rick colect them all? Maybe that was a game like complete
the tag teams of the w W roster uh Rick Steiner's favorite hold Steiner line
sure, Scott steiner favorite hold Frankensteiner. Uh. Pro Wrestling has never seen
too crazy fighting machines like the Steiners before. Scott once promised, you know,
I don't care what town or arena you see us in. When our
name is on the marquee, you know someone is gonna get hurt. Yeah,
well that's not gonna be us. Trure words never spoken. That's when
Steiner's were launching motherfuckers, no regard for where they landed. Oh my god,
the same thing when you when you have fucking owner showes as well.
People are going to get hurt, but it ain't gonna be the manager.
Yes, yes, Oh, I remember that picture that that card I had,
that one. A crashing blow from his huge left hand sends the Monster
of the Four Horsemen to the promised land. So I guess he murdered Sid
in that one. Did you know Sid before he came into WWF or was
he new to you? He was new to me because of these cards and
the figure. I I realized shortly after, because I got the glub Sid
figure first. I got it before WrestleMania eight. Even I remember that being
a big deal flair lair tossing lu Yeah. Probably How did Luger end up
in that position? I mean, that's lair born. It looks like a
simple Hey, look at this, Look at this, Look at this.
He's a lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack and Carnaco and JP Sorrow. He's
a lapsed fan wrestling podcast both Steiner. So they can do they can do
it. It's it's a choice not to. It' a choice. We'll put
these out. Here's the manufacturer of these cards. Impel, Impel. Okay
I Pale Pale Wrestling formally TNA, DN, L D and L Right,
okay, okay again, I mean when I do this, the joking sting
in the corner. So it's a SID card. It's a SID card,
even though you don't see his fucking face at all. Yeah, the picture
should wait more one wrestler than the other. It shouldn't be like, that's
got to be a flare card. It's a flare card. Okay, Literally,
you see the back of his fucking head. They're showing only the front
of the face of the people getting beat up in the pictures. We're back
to this game again. Southern Boys traicy mothers. We haven't seen fucking with
salt and pep on his mind. It's funny. So they show so they
have them here, but in the back they show both of them. Oh
my goodness. So that's even more absurd. They don't have favorite holes either,
Tracy, sorry for this. Tracy Smothers, better known as fifty percent
of the Southern Boys, better known as Oh yeah, that's what everyone calls
them. They've called them that since high school. Fifty coming next to the
stage to receive his diploma. Fifty of the Southern Boys. Oh my god,
it's so fucking, so fucking stupid. Oh, here's the checklist,
so every card in the set. Yeah yeah, so you can check them
off. They look like they're ninety four and they're like eighteen stings. Eighteen
stings. Yep, here's an arn one. This is a good one.
It's a good one. Oh yeah, clean lateral PRESSSD action shot. And
the other guy isn't you know, is prominent? Right? Like you don't
see his face at all? Up here? We get a I mean,
it's a good action shot, but it's still like, oh, that's bring
it up a little bit. Who is that? It's it's pillman. Oh
wow, that's like and that's flair right yeah, I think so that's up
for the suplex from the apron to the middle of the ring, fair right
there, even though he's taking the move. Dude, I remember that one.
I think that may even been the picture they used of Ron Simmons on
the glue packaging. That could be wrong about them, maybe, feel like
I've seen that used more than I definitely had that card. That's crazy.
I like that and another it's like they had the same fucking group in all
of them, Like you get an L, you get an L L L
Jagonte and we did those ones. Okay, so last pack, here we
go. A very uncomfortable Lex Luger looks like he's fuck constipated. Maybe whoever
he's punching has his head firmly embedded in his cross. Firmly. Yes.
Another great shot of the Steiner brothers, Rick standing on the on the ring
on the floor next to the april. A guy like him like he's watching
a fly fly around the ceiling like a cat would. Clueless. This is
almost a good shot of staying except he looks like he has no clue where
he is. Yeah, yeah, he's still getting oriented. But he's got
the big gold in his He does have the big gold, which is good.
But ah, here we go. This is nice. That's a good
one, a Flair full suit. At least they get good ones at Flair.
I'll tell you that for the most part. Hey, look at this,
it's about time on both one frame. You don't get that that often,
folks, You do not. Oh my god. These cyclones from the
South are responsible for a for a. These cyclones from the South are responsible
for a trail of destruction in every arena they've they've ever entered, as well
as a flood of Yankee widow tears in every town in the North. It's
always been said that Southerners never forget or forgive. The Southern boys are living
proof of that. So there's racism involved there. That's a Christmas sentiment.
I heard one. I remember that when I had that. One said mid
power bomb. Yeah yeah, yeah. There's one thing I think of when
I think of Southern boys in WCW. It's they leave a path of destruction
wherever they go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And reminding me that the
South never forgets flair hair working the figure fore staying good check. I like
that light pink tights used to have more than me. Southern boys one of
them yep, great, uh uh. Kind of another Missy with the rather
green border like you said, Yeah, I think that's for non in ring
talent. Kind of a weird one of Arns. The side of Arn's head
smashing some of the leg into the post. Brian yep. Yeah. And
Kudi Gras Doom doom, a blurry shot of it. You could even see
you guy's face. I don't know if that was Simmons. You can't you
know, I think it's Simmons, but you can't see ship. All right,
let's open the card here and let's see what is this the final flourish
for Martin here? Yeah, this is the final thing from Martin. It's
the the actual Christmas card to open after the gifts. Wonderful package, so
glad we could get her hands on it. Absolutely as planned this season,
nothing but pure lapse dedication for Martin. I love very Christmas. Christmas card
to Jack and JP Mery Christmas, Happy New Year. Best which is Martin?
But there is a letter? Yes, Oh, here we go,
