<v Speaker 2>I remember those.

<v Speaker 1>I think the meals like six hundred something calories and
<v Speaker 1>a lot of protein.
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there was a few meals for cookout
<v Speaker 2>that you told me were like shockingly low calories.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, just check them menu you're surprised at like
<v Speaker 1>what you can concoct with a pretty good protein to

<v Speaker 1>All Right, let's get into WWF SmackDown April twenty seventh,
<v Speaker 1>two thousand. It is one of my favorite intros.
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's a classic. But before we talk about
<v Speaker 2>the classic SmackDown intro in this legendary episode of SmackDown,
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about what was going on in the water
<v Speaker 2>wrestling at the time. With the Wrestling Observer newsletter, we've
<v Speaker 2>been over a bit of this era, probably be able
<v Speaker 2>to tell from some of the news that I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>go over here. But for those of you that you know,
<v Speaker 2>haven't or just want to go back into the air
<v Speaker 2>and feel what was going on at the time, I'll
<v Speaker 2>go over some stuff here again. From The Observer, April
<v Speaker 2>twenty fourth, two thousand. The situation involving Mike Awsome and
<v Speaker 2>the East of U heavyweight titles took several turns over
<v Speaker 2>the past week, ending with the unique situation of a
<v Speaker 2>w CW ANDWWF contract to wrestler in a match. The
<v Speaker 2>legal controversies at first appeared settled on April tenth, when
<v Speaker 2>e W andww came to an agreement where ww paid
<v Speaker 2>ECWA reported six figure settlement regarding the contract of Mike
<v Speaker 2>Alfonso you might know him as Mike Awsome, I know
<v Speaker 2>is Michael Fonso, and agreed to the certain stipulations regarding
<v Speaker 2>his portrayal on the Nitro program that evening, and that
<v Speaker 2>he would drop the ECW title on April thirteenth in Indianapolis.
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about this a bit. We've talked about because
<v Speaker 2>I think the SmackDown the week before this one that
<v Speaker 2>we're watching today is the one where Taz and Triple
<v Speaker 2>H have their match. I'm pretty sure that's right. Taz
<v Speaker 2>obviously wins ZCB title. Also here, by the way Wallace
<v Speaker 2>was going on, Hayman came up with the idea to
<v Speaker 2>bring in Taz's a surprise opponent to win the title
<v Speaker 2>from Awesome, apparently formulated while eating dinner at a Chinese
<v Speaker 2>restaurant with the EW production staff. It's very specific here
<v Speaker 2>of how they knew exactly when, where now this was concocted.
<v Speaker 2>Hayman called McMahon, who accepted the proposals hamulaid it out,
<v Speaker 2>which at the time was for Taz to win the
<v Speaker 2>CIVY title then drop it in Philly to Tommy Dreamer,
<v Speaker 2>with the original suggestion being the further McMahon storylines having
<v Speaker 2>Perry Saturn cost has the match so you won't have
<v Speaker 2>to lose cleanly to an ECB wrestler, which of course
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk about on the SmackDown because TAS's big angle
<v Speaker 2>at the time in WWF was of course fucking going
<v Speaker 2>for the hardcore title, as was everyone else. More news here,
<v Speaker 2>insane clown, Posse's Juggalo Champion. Shit wrestling. That's what it
<v Speaker 2>says here, That's what it used to be. Ran its
<v Speaker 2>first tour date on April fourteenth in Denver at the
<v Speaker 2>Fillmore Auditorium before an estimated two thousand fans at twenty
<v Speaker 2>five dollars apiece. Although many were comps, Meltzer says, it
<v Speaker 2>was described as a very young crowd, many things that
<v Speaker 2>were coming to see a concert as opposed to wrestling.
<v Speaker 2>There were very young kids there, but no matter. The
<v Speaker 2>ring girl came out wearing a thong and a T
<v Speaker 2>shirt for the opener, later just a thong for the
<v Speaker 2>main event. No thong, Meltzer says, Actually it's not as
<v Speaker 2>great as it sounded because the guys were chanting for
<v Speaker 2>her to put her clothes back on. In one match,
<v Speaker 2>he has the fans of throwing one dollar bills and
<v Speaker 2>then the two guys then preceded a staple of the
<v Speaker 2>bills to each other. So JCW been around for quite
<v Speaker 2>some time here. I don't know if I knew it
<v Speaker 2>started in fucking two thousand. I thought it was, you know,
<v Speaker 2>maybe a little deeper than that, especially with the guys
<v Speaker 2>that end up being champed there.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I imagined it was early two thousand because they
<v Speaker 1>were doing stuff on TNA and you know hatchet Man. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that was a big deal.
<v Speaker 2>C Dub, Yeah, that's fucking true. Also in JCW news,
<v Speaker 2>the legal problems continued between Paul Hayman and Saboo. Hayman
<v Speaker 2>successfully blocked Saboo from working the ICP Juggalo Championship Correct
<v Speaker 2>Spelling Wrestling Tour, where he was scheduled to be the
<v Speaker 2>headline attraction. XPW announced for the show on April fifteenth
<v Speaker 2>that Hayman's legal maneuverings had blocked Saboo from appearing on
<v Speaker 2>the show the day before, except they used them anyway
<v Speaker 2>as an unnounce surprise as he showed up during the
<v Speaker 2>King deet O versus Douglas xp tow tittle match, which
<v Speaker 2>turned into a three way. The word given to us
<v Speaker 2>was wink wink. Saboo was able to show up because
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't paid. Add Mark Kerr to the list of
<v Speaker 2>shoot Fighters on their way to w CW. This is
<v Speaker 2>funny because there's a fucking Marker movie coming out, played
<v Speaker 2>by the Rock. Kerr was contacted by Bischoff and told
<v Speaker 2>they were gonna have a group called Fight Club composed
<v Speaker 2>of Mark Coleman, Don Fry, Mark Kerr, Rick Steiner in
<v Speaker 2>Tank Abbott. Mark Kerr was told he'd be brought in
<v Speaker 2>after the concept is developed as a new Monster rather
<v Speaker 2>than at first. That group sounds fucking awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I don't know what they would do
<v Speaker 1>in w CW. Maybe they would feud with three.
<v Speaker 2>Count, that's the that's the exact thing I say. Definitely
<v Speaker 2>feuding with Recount and then the Jung Dragons, and then
<v Speaker 2>I imagine they joined the New Breed her new Blood. Sorry,
<v Speaker 2>same thing.
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna join and redo the Misfits in action.
<v Speaker 2>With Don Fry.
<v Speaker 1>This is ass butt balls Learner sows.
<v Speaker 2>General fuck Sargeant. Fuck.
<v Speaker 1>It's four of the most accomplished MMA fighters of all time,
<v Speaker 1>says Ass.
<v Speaker 2>From the Observer of May one, two thousand. When the
<v Speaker 2>smoke cleared after nine months, the title changes largely forced
<v Speaker 2>upon him and designed a surprise Paul Hayman finally went
<v Speaker 2>back to the original plan a and you'll like this
<v Speaker 2>James as the latest surprise. Just incredible who Hayman had
<v Speaker 2>planned to be East of of You Heavyweight champion, dating
<v Speaker 2>back more than eighteen months, with the idea of not
<v Speaker 2>putting the title on him until he had a national
<v Speaker 2>television outlet and being the wrestler that RVD would chase
<v Speaker 2>in the company's top program. Wound up with the East
<v Speaker 2>w title after two more switches at Easy to B
<v Speaker 2>CyberSlam on April twenty second. The title changes over the
<v Speaker 2>past year have all been mandated not by long term planning,
<v Speaker 2>but by short term reactions to previous problems. The original
<v Speaker 2>plan was for Shane Douglas to hold it until getting
<v Speaker 2>a national out A lot of plans here for holding
<v Speaker 2>the title or not giving someone of the title until
<v Speaker 2>they had TV. Just incredible being the guy that was
<v Speaker 2>going to forefront the TV movement. It's absolutely pretty fucked
<v Speaker 2>up to think about.
<v Speaker 1>I think it was supposed to be Amish Roadkill, but
<v Speaker 1>he was. Yeah, he was too willing to lose. He
<v Speaker 1>just didn't he didn't care too much.
<v Speaker 2>If he would have looked just a little more like
<v Speaker 2>Stone Cold, it probably would have been roadkilled because he
<v Speaker 2>has all the features.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, all he had to do is take the
<v Speaker 1>goate down just a little bit.
<v Speaker 2>He had to put Gina shorts on. But instead Justin
<v Speaker 2>Credible is going to be the TV stone Cold.
<v Speaker 1>You think maybe they just thought it's a CRT TV.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they'll think it's a stone called like that's the
<v Speaker 1>Portuguese Man of War. No, that's stone Cold.
<v Speaker 2>Look at him.
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's a shame.
<v Speaker 2>After getting a settlement from WW, since Austin did have
<v Speaker 2>a contract with e W, they included Awesome coming back
<v Speaker 2>to do the quote unquote I've got to do a
<v Speaker 2>job and get over with match in a minute thirteen
<v Speaker 2>in Indianapolis, and Hayman's selling the idea of using TAZ him.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, man, it created the TAZs to Tommy jermyed
<v Speaker 2>a credible scenario all taking place on April twenty second.
<v Speaker 2>How it went down to fit if anyone didn't see it,
<v Speaker 2>Dreamer won the belt and then all the baby faces
<v Speaker 2>come out and then Justin Credible comes out and kills
<v Speaker 2>Tommy and Raven and shit. And then he talked shit
<v Speaker 2>about Mike Awesome and he you know, he talks about
<v Speaker 2>it awesome when he's gonna throw the belt down and
<v Speaker 2>how Taz wanted to defend the belt on raw, but
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be the one to fucking do it,
<v Speaker 2>and he throws his tag title down. Because I think
<v Speaker 2>they were trying to do a thing where like he
<v Speaker 2>was not I guess maybe like the Shane Dougs thing
<v Speaker 2>where Shane threw the belt down and he was the
<v Speaker 2>new EACW fucking champ. I think that's kind of what
<v Speaker 2>they were going for. And we actually just watched that
<v Speaker 2>episode of ECW where there was a tag tournament because
<v Speaker 2>he did this, So yeah, they were trying to, you know,
<v Speaker 2>make him a big fucking deal here, and he's he's
<v Speaker 2>a top guy, told it till it ends. But yeah,
<v Speaker 2>just I guess I don't know who else think. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>I would have just put it back on RVD or
<v Speaker 2>give it to RVD at all. I an rdy ever
<v Speaker 2>wins the fucking thing. He was just TV champ.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they knew he was out, probably because.
<v Speaker 2>Lands Storm's gone too. I think that's also another part
<v Speaker 2>of that. That Landstorm was going to WCW, so they
<v Speaker 2>were like, well, how do we get this belt off
<v Speaker 2>of him? And this belt onto him and that's how
<v Speaker 2>they did very easily. In ww news, this is funny
<v Speaker 2>that this is also happening around the same time, Meltzer says. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>the most prestigious title in our sport changed hands twice
<v Speaker 2>more this week, with DDP beating Jeff Yard on Nitro
<v Speaker 2>for the world title on April twenty fourth, and then
<v Speaker 2>it being put on the winner of the fall in
<v Speaker 2>a tag match on Thunder in April twenty fifth, with
<v Speaker 2>David Arquette pinning Eric Bischoff. So the David Arkette title
<v Speaker 2>winning thing happened to like almost the same week, if
<v Speaker 2>not around the same week of fucking them doing the
<v Speaker 2>WWCWWWF thing at the same time. So a lot of
<v Speaker 2>fucked up title situations here in two thousand.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and they all did great for all these companies.
<v Speaker 2>So everyone looks back upon them. Fun from the Observer,
<v Speaker 2>May eighth, two thousand. Just a couple more things here,
<v Speaker 2>or one more thing actually here. Wizards of the Coast Inc.
<v Speaker 2>Filed a lawsuit on a sorry March twenty third against
<v Speaker 2>WWFE to keep the WBF from launching game cards that
<v Speaker 2>freelance game designer Michael Fitzgerald claims are based on his ideas.
<v Speaker 2>The claim is that the WWF has taken key design
<v Speaker 2>features without permission or license into their game. Wizards it's
<v Speaker 2>releasing a game with ww in June. Fitzgerald had first
<v Speaker 2>met with Comic Images in New Jersey publishing company about
<v Speaker 2>working with WWF and designing a trading card game last year,
<v Speaker 2>and had the mock up prepared. Comic Images told them
<v Speaker 2>the game was being opened up to other companies, and Fitzgerald,
<v Speaker 2>who didn't have a contract with Comic Images or WWF,
<v Speaker 2>received no payment for his idea. Then he pitched a WCW,
<v Speaker 2>which signed a contract with him last July for a
<v Speaker 2>game called ww Nitro. And I think that's probably I
<v Speaker 2>think you've probably seen a bunch of those. It was
<v Speaker 2>like the red buff bagwall fucking packs, and that's going
<v Speaker 2>to be released next month. As of here, Wizards is
<v Speaker 2>asking the court to grant a permanent injunction against the
<v Speaker 2>WWF from releasing its game, which is also schedule to
<v Speaker 2>come out at the same time. I didn't know that
<v Speaker 2>this was the thing, Like, I didn't know WWF was
<v Speaker 2>gonna originally have the WCW card game. I don't think
<v Speaker 2>I ever learned the ww card game or I just
<v Speaker 2>saw I just know Sandman's WS like Rookie WCW card
<v Speaker 2>is that's all I know? Yeah, sure, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>It was an actual game, like a trading card game,
<v Speaker 1>not a collectible card game.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think you actually play with them. Yeah right.
<v Speaker 2>That made me think of how crazy the wrestling game
<v Speaker 2>stuff in general, you talk about games. The fact that, like,
<v Speaker 2>you know, WCW and WWF having games on the same
<v Speaker 2>engine was pretty fucking nuts. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Sure, I mean I bet at the time it was
<v Speaker 1>a dream for developers though. Oh my god, you just
<v Speaker 1>shop around the engine.
<v Speaker 2>Holy shit. Yeah, I mean, like that has to be
<v Speaker 2>easiest thing ever. And they both sold fucking unbelievably, Like
<v Speaker 2>those are the fucking like goat Nintendo games, right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and that's it for the Observer. Now let's talk about
<v Speaker 2>WWF SmackDown April twenty seventh, two thousand.
<v Speaker 1>All right, so we get into the show here in Charlotte,
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. Oh, we get a very rare SmackDown lightning
<v Speaker 1>ball transition at the start. I thought that was.
<v Speaker 2>Crazy, dude, Okay, that threw me off fir a second.
<v Speaker 2>I said, big fucking lightning bolt transition. This is of
<v Speaker 2>course also Oval shron on the right side of the building.
<v Speaker 2>I can only assume that was just to do with
<v Speaker 2>the placement of the seats. So we're seventy two hours
<v Speaker 2>away from Backlash. This is technically the go home to Backlash.
<v Speaker 2>There's a couple signs or one sign in the crowd
<v Speaker 2>here that I enjoyed. It was a picture of Rakishi's
<v Speaker 2>ass drawn. It was two big ass cheeks and it
<v Speaker 2>says Rikkeshi has the SmackDown and the ass is being
<v Speaker 2>held by hands, so it's spreading the ass cheeks right.
<v Speaker 2>It was very well. The hands were really little though,
<v Speaker 2>so I guess it was just to emphasize how big
<v Speaker 2>the ass was. Yeah, just dwarfing the hands, which happened
<v Speaker 2>with two that's true. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So we have Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler on commentary
<v Speaker 1>this evening, and we kicked the show off with Eddie
<v Speaker 1>Guerrero and China versus Valvenus and s a Rios with Lita.
<v Speaker 1>I actually didn't know this was a tag match until
<v Speaker 1>everyone got out here.
<v Speaker 2>Dude. I was so confused at the order of entrance
<v Speaker 2>here because Eddie and trying to come out I'm like, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>here's a fucking singles match. Then Valvenus comes out, I said, oh,
<v Speaker 2>of course it's a fucking singles match against Val. Also,
<v Speaker 2>when Val comes out, I swear he was wearing long
<v Speaker 2>black tights.
<v Speaker 1>He had a very rare black towel on this week
<v Speaker 1>with his initials on it. Yeah, Like I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>this is an odd choice here, but no, yeah, black towel.
<v Speaker 2>And then they announced this is a tag match, and
<v Speaker 2>that's where I realized, Okay, Val is fucking Eddie's partner. No,
<v Speaker 2>China is Eddie's partner. Sse Rios is Valvinus his partner? Who?
<v Speaker 2>And why you ask? Well, Eddie and Val had a
<v Speaker 2>singles match on Monday and sa Rios got involved and
<v Speaker 2>China kicked both their asses.
<v Speaker 1>And Venus pinned Eddie, who is the European champion.
<v Speaker 2>Also Cole says, so they're headed to a major day
<v Speaker 2>at Backlash that Eddie grow in China, Eddie passes ged
<v Speaker 2>and on raw, Eddie and China were trying to find
<v Speaker 2>the perfect outfits for their prom and Lyda and s
<v Speaker 2>a Ros got involved, but not in the prom they
<v Speaker 2>just got involved in the match.
<v Speaker 1>So Eddie Hot starts on Valvenus, and China goes for Lyda,
<v Speaker 1>but s a Rios stops her. Valvenus quickly takes over
<v Speaker 1>and hits a mother FM bomb on Eddie. Eddie catches
<v Speaker 1>him with an inzigiri.
<v Speaker 2>I mean Eddie, by the way, all these guys actually
<v Speaker 2>do look great here, I say Rios. I'm surprised he
<v Speaker 2>doesn't last longer. He's cool as fuck.
<v Speaker 1>He is very cool. I like the combo with Lyda too,
<v Speaker 1>but I understand Lida and the Hardys becomes the most
<v Speaker 1>ever act ever during this era.
<v Speaker 2>That's a generational fucking trio there. I mean, like as
<v Speaker 2>could have kept pop it off moon Salt. So when
<v Speaker 2>he pops off in this match is nuts.
<v Speaker 1>You're telling me the Hardy's and Michael Hayes couldn't have
<v Speaker 1>got his over Michael Hayes doing a little Moosalt.
<v Speaker 2>Why didn't they? They could have just put in the
<v Speaker 2>team extreme.
<v Speaker 1>Michael Hayes has a thumb one hands, huh. So val
<v Speaker 1>hits a blue thunderbomb for a two. When Eddie gets
<v Speaker 1>distracted by how much he loves China.
<v Speaker 2>China is so like he's smitten. He's smitten by China so.
<v Speaker 1>Eddie holds Rios in the corner and China hits the
<v Speaker 1>razzle dazzle.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, dude, I love that she did that. I was
<v Speaker 2>always excited because it was in the games because of her.
<v Speaker 1>Val comes in and they hit a double team move
<v Speaker 1>where Val throws Eddie into Rio's feet for a two
<v Speaker 1>three D on.
<v Speaker 2>The boots, which was I actually thought that was kind
<v Speaker 2>of cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm always down for guys coming up with some
<v Speaker 1>double team stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Lawler said, have you have you been to a Spanish prom?
<v Speaker 2>And Cole says no, I haven't. Lawler says, oh, it's
<v Speaker 2>a el but changa and Cole says, okay, what does
<v Speaker 2>that mean? And Lot says that's a big party. Have
<v Speaker 2>you been to a Spanish party? No? Okay, why have you? Whatever?
<v Speaker 1>Then Val hits a spinebuster on Eddie and s Rios
<v Speaker 1>hits a moon salt.
<v Speaker 2>This fucking moon salt is nuts. He gets so much
<v Speaker 2>height and distance on this thing.
<v Speaker 1>Well, Val Venus stops China from breaking it up and
<v Speaker 1>sa Rios pins Eddie.
<v Speaker 2>To win this match. Oh, pin the champ.
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's pinning the champ. Why is this not a three
<v Speaker 1>way at the payer view?
<v Speaker 2>Oh?
<v Speaker 1>Because Venus also penned them because we need to do
<v Speaker 1>the prom That's not because we hate you. That's what
<v Speaker 1>she said to him in the back. You know something, Jim,
<v Speaker 1>But why do not get a title shot because you
<v Speaker 1>hate your son? Why don't you walk on out the
<v Speaker 1>door and don't ever talk to me again?
<v Speaker 2>You throw clothes lunes like that, I'll hit you for real.
<v Speaker 2>So this breaks down after fucking you know, val Uh
<v Speaker 2>gets rid of China and Cereals gets the pin because
<v Speaker 2>valven is in China, start brawling on the floor. Lda
<v Speaker 2>is now in the ring. She moon salts Eddie then
<v Speaker 2>immediately gets up in her areo starts stomping him out,
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was very funny. Uh, we got backstage.
<v Speaker 1>We are at the d X Express, a large silver bus.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, big ass metal bus, Like this is the cheapest
<v Speaker 2>fucking thing I've ever seen. And Dowg comes out. They
<v Speaker 2>let on the bus. All the fucking goats are here
<v Speaker 2>from d X of course, as in Road Dog, Triple H, Stephanie, Shane,
<v Speaker 2>Vince Tory. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So is this degeneration x as is right now or
<v Speaker 1>is this just the McMahon Helmsley regime.
<v Speaker 2>I think it's both with the dowg with the dog.
<v Speaker 2>I think they say XPOC had like a family emergency
<v Speaker 2>later in the show. That's why nobody's gonna be at
<v Speaker 2>the pay per view. Billy Gunn must have got kicked
<v Speaker 2>out by now.
<v Speaker 1>He's probably feud him with the dog for a few
<v Speaker 1>more weeks till he joins.
<v Speaker 2>Back with him. You gotta keep running that fucking back
<v Speaker 2>ass versus dog.
<v Speaker 1>Like.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that was a that's an angle made in heaven.
<v Speaker 2>This guy has an ass, and this guy's finished as
<v Speaker 2>he funcks you up the ass doggy style.
<v Speaker 1>Well, Vince comes out and uh, he hates this bus.
<v Speaker 2>He says, Dan express carry a break. Shane likes it that.
<v Speaker 2>Shane says, this thing is awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Well, the Rock is walking backstage. He's gonna be a
<v Speaker 1>big part.
<v Speaker 2>Of this evening. He's got a five hundred thousand dollars
<v Speaker 2>orange and blue shirt on and he's here.
<v Speaker 1>The WWF Boot of the Week brought to you by Lugs.
<v Speaker 1>That's Lugs, rugged boots and shoes with an attitude. Since
<v Speaker 1>you'll never know where you'll end up where your lugs at.
<v Speaker 1>I saw a dude at the gym the other day
<v Speaker 1>with lugs. Really, I sort of got that's awesome. He
<v Speaker 1>had this silver it had this silver gimmick on the side.
<v Speaker 2>They said, lugs. I forgot to tell you about this
<v Speaker 2>till now. Yeah, dude, he had lugs on. It was
<v Speaker 2>leg day for him too. I was like, wow, I
<v Speaker 2>wanted to go dap him up.
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome.
<v Speaker 2>He was committed.
<v Speaker 1>You never know whill you end up.
<v Speaker 2>He ended up at the gym.
<v Speaker 1>Well, the Rock hit the Rock bottom on Crispin wah,
<v Speaker 1>but Vince Low blowed the Rock and triple h hit
<v Speaker 1>the Rock with the pedigree to win the match.
<v Speaker 2>Dude. Yeah, Rock sets up for the people's elbow and
<v Speaker 2>Vince comes up behind him and just kicks him straight
<v Speaker 2>in the balls a great shot. Yeah, and then and
<v Speaker 2>gets the wind. Shane was the referee for that match.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what was going on, and j R. Says,
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe this crap.
<v Speaker 1>I can I watch every week.
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, Jack, how do you not like
<v Speaker 2>this has been going on for a while.
<v Speaker 1>Lugs decided conquered. They have a lot of cash phrases.
<v Speaker 2>Man, they were hot, They're still hot.
<v Speaker 1>We're like, we go to a pre tape Stone Cold
<v Speaker 1>Strikes January nineteen ninety nine.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they are hyping up the return of Stone Cold.
<v Speaker 2>He's been gone since November because he got hit by
<v Speaker 2>a car, and he's coming back now.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jim what they say later on this show, Oh,
<v Speaker 1>Austin has a video because he hit my car.
<v Speaker 2>That sucks.
<v Speaker 1>You just take that as this back then too, stone
<v Speaker 1>Go is hit by a car. He won't be here
<v Speaker 1>for fucking six months. Oh yeah, Okay, I guess that's
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. What I yeah, I'm gonna look it up.
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, he's coming back to being the Rocks corner
<v Speaker 2>at the pay per view. This was a recap of
<v Speaker 2>January ninety nine where Vincent says, apparently Stone Cold isn't
<v Speaker 2>coming back to the arena. Well, apparently Stone Cold does
<v Speaker 2>come back to the arena in a Limo monster truck
<v Speaker 2>and he runs over a set of four cars that
<v Speaker 2>were very parked close together.
<v Speaker 1>With little orange cones around it too.
<v Speaker 2>Oh of course, you know, because that's where they were
<v Speaker 2>supposed to park. They had to park it within the cones.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is one of the craziest looking limos
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen. I mean, they really outdid themselves here.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know this was a thing. I don't even
<v Speaker 2>know when this happened. It looked like it was on
<v Speaker 2>pay per view, but they don't give a date. They
<v Speaker 2>just say January ninety nine. You guys know how many
<v Speaker 2>shows you do.
<v Speaker 1>This didn't even happen on the show, any show. This
<v Speaker 1>is the first time anyone's seeing this.
<v Speaker 2>They were running just up. They were recording a bunch
<v Speaker 2>of Austin doing crazy shit and just used only some
<v Speaker 2>of it. Well, we get the Rock town Hall. So
<v Speaker 2>rockets on the mic. The crowds super fucking fired up
<v Speaker 2>for him to take some from to be able to
<v Speaker 2>talk because they're just losing it. And Rock, of course,
<v Speaker 2>that's the finally the Rock has come back to Charlotte.
<v Speaker 2>He should say that on October nineteenth at the Gray
<v Speaker 2>Gulls Center. Yes, Mark Kerr shit and they're in the misfits.
<v Speaker 2>He's general as full.
<v Speaker 1>Si Ass has come back to Charlotte.
<v Speaker 2>That's us in the back. So Rock says, it's it's
<v Speaker 2>safe to say that the Rock has been through hell
<v Speaker 2>to get where he's at and now looking back at
<v Speaker 2>everything the Triple H and the Commands have put The
<v Speaker 2>Rock through with every pedigree, with every chair shot, with
<v Speaker 2>every pedigree, with every chair shot, the Rock still stands
<v Speaker 2>here today, and the Rock is still going to backlash. Well,
<v Speaker 2>you didn't get hit by a car, so you seem
<v Speaker 2>to be just fine. Everything else is lesser than And
<v Speaker 2>the Rock says, but the Rock Realis is not over yet,
<v Speaker 2>and they still have one more Knight to do what
<v Speaker 2>they can do to take out the Rock. So the
<v Speaker 2>Rock says, this, what type of match are your candy
<v Speaker 2>ass is gonna put the Rock in tonight? Are you
<v Speaker 2>gonna put the Rock in one of those steel cage matches?
<v Speaker 2>Are you gonna put the Rock in one of those
<v Speaker 2>lumberjack matches? Oh? Hell, You'll probably put the Rock in
<v Speaker 2>a Stephanie's dirty panties on a pall match. Ah, why
<v Speaker 2>is that? The Rock coulda go up with any other
<v Speaker 2>match dirty pannies?
<v Speaker 1>She's easy heat.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she's the biggest heat magnet on the show,
<v Speaker 2>which is fucking crazy, Rock says Vince Shane, Stephanie and
<v Speaker 2>Triple h. The Rock says, bring your candy asses out
<v Speaker 2>here right now and bring out the cage, bring out
<v Speaker 2>the lumberjacks, bring out the dirty pennies. The Rock says,
<v Speaker 2>just bring it, and Cole says, all the Rock is
<v Speaker 2>calling out the McMahon Helmsley regime, and Lawler says, and
<v Speaker 2>the dirty Pennies here comes the McMahon elms.
<v Speaker 1>Reason the fuck is going on? Uh?
<v Speaker 2>And Triple H has a mic and he's with everybody
<v Speaker 2>here and he says, you know, Rack, there are some
<v Speaker 2>pretty good ideas for matches you had there, including the
<v Speaker 2>last one. But you know, Rack, we too have been thinking, uh,
<v Speaker 2>you know, the very same thing the last few days.
<v Speaker 2>I've been thinking about it. Dude, I got someone right now,
<v Speaker 2>what's wrong with you? So Triple AH says, they're trying
<v Speaker 2>to come up with some kind of matches to come
<v Speaker 2>out here and beat the hell out of Rock again.
<v Speaker 2>And we've had some pretty good ideas. Shane is pretty creative,
<v Speaker 2>but I I got to give credit to my darling
<v Speaker 2>and he hugs Stephanie. The crowd of course, Chance slut
<v Speaker 2>because of this. I don't know why, And Triple H says,
<v Speaker 2>to be quite honest, Rack, I personally, I've kicked your
<v Speaker 2>ass so many times I'm starting to get a bit
<v Speaker 2>bored with it. It's the same thing you bow up,
<v Speaker 2>I beat your ass. You bow up, I beat your ass.
<v Speaker 2>It's getting a bit redundant. I'll tell you what, hey man,
<v Speaker 2>it's his creative Why that's a good point. Why don't
<v Speaker 2>we wait until Sunday for me to kick your ass
<v Speaker 2>one more time? You look a bit stressed out. You
<v Speaker 2>see him tense tonight. Maybe you switch a decaf or something.
<v Speaker 2>Take a cue from us. You need to relax. Rack,
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you take the night off. I'm gonna take
<v Speaker 2>the night off. Shane's good at the night off. Vince
<v Speaker 2>has got the night off. How the fuck is this?
<v Speaker 2>Who's running the show? All of that? Dog?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's only one man left to run this show,
<v Speaker 1>Rack Dog Dog.
<v Speaker 2>So he just does that, he says, him and Shane
<v Speaker 2>and Vince have off and uh. And then he looks
<v Speaker 2>at road Dog, who is in gear, and road Dog
<v Speaker 2>pantomimes that he has gear on. Fuck well, ro Dog
<v Speaker 2>is in road dog attire, which is a cut off
<v Speaker 2>shirt and sweatpants. Spot. I think he has boots on.
<v Speaker 2>So at the very least he's got the working boots
<v Speaker 2>on or their lugs, boots and shoes, lugs, get them,
<v Speaker 2>he says, I forgot. We're gonna sit back and We're
<v Speaker 2>gonna watch a master at work. And I said, oh my,
<v Speaker 2>the master Dog. We're gonna watch the do O double
<v Speaker 2>G as he destroys one half of the tag champions.
<v Speaker 2>Christian Triple H is setting this matchup staring at the
<v Speaker 2>ring at the Rock, who could not give a fuck
<v Speaker 2>less about what was the Dog is doing.
<v Speaker 1>I was super super surprised at the Rock holding back
<v Speaker 1>from just burying this ship out of road dogging Christian,
<v Speaker 1>like he said, I gotta watch the dog. He set
<v Speaker 1>up the singles match that just I mean, you could
<v Speaker 1>hear a pin drop when he announced this match in
<v Speaker 1>that arena.
<v Speaker 2>Christian and like they couldn't even fake put sound in
<v Speaker 2>like no one ship and I totally forgot.
<v Speaker 1>This was the error where everyone in a tag team
<v Speaker 1>on this show was a brother or a cousin, right.
<v Speaker 2>And that's that was That's the only creative they had
<v Speaker 2>because it worked with the Harty's and then the Dudleys,
<v Speaker 2>so everyone else had to beat to I guess the
<v Speaker 2>Holly Cousins.
<v Speaker 1>Literally everyone that was tagging on the show is like family.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Taker and Kane end up getting there again. Yeah right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>So he's facing Christian and Triple it says, I know
<v Speaker 2>what everyone's thinking. Maybe Christian's brother Edge might get involved
<v Speaker 2>in this match. I promise you know what was thinking
<v Speaker 2>about this.
<v Speaker 1>I was so confused. You're not even like the GM
<v Speaker 1>or nothing. Just I mean, couldn't you just put road
<v Speaker 1>dog in Christian out there and had the same exact reaction?
<v Speaker 2>Like, you know, maybe it was the people.
<v Speaker 1>You know, if they hear that the dog is facing
<v Speaker 1>a Christian later on this show, that maybe they'll tune
<v Speaker 1>in on instead of watching Friends on Thursday. The fuck
<v Speaker 1>is on Thursdays, Dude, I have no idea solve mysteries.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe fucking yeah, anything else the Simpsons reruns on order?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like, yeah, there's something going on he here, we
<v Speaker 2>I know what everyone's thinking. Maybe Christian's brother Edge might
<v Speaker 2>get involved in this match. Well, Edge, you need to
<v Speaker 2>keep your nose out of other people's business. So tonight,
<v Speaker 2>if you want to get involved, they show a shot
<v Speaker 2>of the rock here, he's just pacing. You want to
<v Speaker 2>get involved, you won't have to worry about defending those
<v Speaker 2>tag titles of Backlash because you'll be stripped of those titles.
<v Speaker 2>And the crowd cares so much about this that they
<v Speaker 2>start chanting for The Rock in the middle of him
<v Speaker 2>setting this up, and then Triple H says, and another thing,
<v Speaker 2>we'll strip you o those titles, because if there's one
<v Speaker 2>thing we won't put up with, it's people interfering in
<v Speaker 2>our other people's matches. This like, I feel like they
<v Speaker 2>actually did a disservice to this match by doing that.
<v Speaker 2>They killed this match. Man.
<v Speaker 1>That shit was so fucking funny. I have to give
<v Speaker 1>it to The Rock. I mean, honestly, maybe he should
<v Speaker 1>have said something because it just it felt like he
<v Speaker 1>was not saying something to be nice about it, and
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the crowd kind of felt that too.
<v Speaker 1>It was just like, all right, we're hands off on
<v Speaker 1>this Red Dog at Christian thing.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, they The Rock could have said anything.
<v Speaker 1>They're like, Oh, it doesn't matter if it's Christian Edge,
<v Speaker 1>their brother Gerald, anyone could kick the road Dog's ass.
<v Speaker 4>Christian, the road Dog, the do O DOUBLEG. That's who's
<v Speaker 4>getting the night on. You want him to have the
<v Speaker 4>night on.
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about the World Wrestling Federation title and you're
<v Speaker 1>talking about road Dog and Christian.
<v Speaker 2>You know what, maybe you should.
<v Speaker 1>You're looking at me eye to eye and you're talking
<v Speaker 1>about Edge.
<v Speaker 2>You damn.
<v Speaker 1>I mean crowd would have egg ship for it though,
<v Speaker 1>I mean like that ship would have been Yeah, that
<v Speaker 1>ship would have been nuclear.
<v Speaker 2>You're talking about Edge. Fuck.
<v Speaker 1>You come on the Rock Show and you want to
<v Speaker 1>talk about the road Dog. I'd rather watch Dog.
<v Speaker 2>Well that's not it. Vince has something to say, of course.
<v Speaker 2>Uh So Vince gets on the mic and he says, Rock,
<v Speaker 2>I know you're excited about backlash, and so am I. Rock.
<v Speaker 1>I know you're excited about Christian versus.
<v Speaker 2>Edge and the Dog. What's the fucking match? Shot?
<v Speaker 1>Shut up Christian versus Edge?
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was the dog?
<v Speaker 1>Shot up sho.
<v Speaker 2>So it says I'm excited to be in Triple AG's
<v Speaker 2>corner and you, I know you're excited to have Stone
<v Speaker 2>Cold in your corner. Well you should know my son
<v Speaker 2>Shane is very excited about backlash because we're not gonna
<v Speaker 2>have an Earl Hebner situation again. What the fuck they
<v Speaker 2>have all between the screw Job and here. I bet
<v Speaker 2>they did the Earl screwjob spot five times at least
<v Speaker 2>w c W probably did it seven. They did it
<v Speaker 2>seven times this week. I mean they just had like four.
<v Speaker 1>World title changes.
<v Speaker 2>Today, if you're ready to give it to me, damn
<v Speaker 2>right I did. Vince says that Shane will be the
<v Speaker 2>special guest ref in his match on Sunday. Shane then
<v Speaker 2>does the Rock is smelling the air Ton. That's just
<v Speaker 2>so funny.
<v Speaker 1>That's a pretty big announcement.
<v Speaker 2>Sure, yeah, not as big as the one before it,
<v Speaker 2>but like it's pretty Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Why was it that the first fucking announcement Triple A said,
<v Speaker 1>let me let me pop off my boys match real quick.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like he wanted a business for himself, just to
<v Speaker 2>get the dog a mat. You have the dog a
<v Speaker 2>bone a bone.
<v Speaker 1>I think the Rocks had just about enough of this segment.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I can't believe he's never done that. Cut somebody
<v Speaker 2>off at the middle of the segment. Had enough. If
<v Speaker 2>you're some no no, there's more if you're some.
<v Speaker 3>No no.
<v Speaker 2>So Vince says, the reason you're all upset and you
<v Speaker 2>called us out here at Scotsy Rock. But it tells
<v Speaker 2>me that you listen to what I said on Monday
<v Speaker 2>wondering about Stone Cold or if he can trust him.
<v Speaker 2>Remember DTA don't trust anybody Rock and Rock, which is
<v Speaker 2>I thought, I don't trust Austin's right there, and they
<v Speaker 2>used that later, but like, I don't know how they
<v Speaker 2>didn't make that connection, did they hear? I think they
<v Speaker 2>use it when he turns oh wow.
<v Speaker 1>I always just thought it was don't trust anybody.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't trust Austin, don't trust don't.
<v Speaker 1>Trust ass, which is who hit him with a car.
<v Speaker 1>Don't trust ass was also uh.
<v Speaker 2>Warning to the dog that he does not heed. Ever, no,
<v Speaker 2>he continues to give the trade by his favorite thing,
<v Speaker 2>of course, that is the ass. Speaking of don't trust anybody?
<v Speaker 2>What if the Rock told you he spoke with Stone
<v Speaker 2>Cold and Stone Cold didn't want to wait until backlash
<v Speaker 2>huge fucking pop here, Vince has such a confused look
<v Speaker 2>on his face, and Rock says, what if the Rock
<v Speaker 2>told you that Stone Cold was gonna make a special
<v Speaker 2>appearance on the Rock Show smack Down? And I mean,
<v Speaker 2>this is I've never heard Michael Cole this excited in
<v Speaker 2>his life. Michael Cole, I swear top of his lung,
<v Speaker 2>yells oh my god, like he fucking loses his mind,
<v Speaker 2>and Vince says, well, then I call you a damn liar,
<v Speaker 2>Austin whatever show up here to night, couse quite frankly,
<v Speaker 2>Austin doesn't have the tenarity. I didn't know what that meant,
<v Speaker 2>but then he thankfully falls it up. In other words,
<v Speaker 2>Austin doesn't have that grapefruits. And then he says that
<v Speaker 2>with theatrics of she pointing and thrusting his grapefruits that
<v Speaker 2>show up para night and Rock says, ah, for once
<v Speaker 2>into your pathetic life. Wow, to shut your mouth, Vince.
<v Speaker 2>Vince doesn't even get mad here, He just blank stairs
<v Speaker 2>at the Rock when shit's awesome, and Rock says, The
<v Speaker 2>Rock says, just the Rock says, The Rock says, The
<v Speaker 2>Rock said, just like the Rock has Karen Damn ted
<v Speaker 2>to walk out of Backless Champion, The Rock also Karen dantees.
<v Speaker 2>Then Austin is here tonight, and I'm sure people have
<v Speaker 2>seen this gift of Vince on the stage gulping, and
<v Speaker 2>that's what this is from. I was like, Wow, there's
<v Speaker 2>two very big gift moments on the show. That's one
<v Speaker 2>of them, and there's one at the end of the show.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Vince is fucking horrified. Lawler goes ah, and
<v Speaker 2>Rock goes if you're some mell and the fucking his
<v Speaker 2>music hits the crowd's going nuts.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just the thought of Steve Austin coming back
<v Speaker 1>as this crowd going absolutely abe.
<v Speaker 2>Shit, Austin's the most popular guy this eur like the
<v Speaker 2>Rock was cool. He's not stone cold. It's yeah, it's
<v Speaker 2>not you know, like he was great, loved all. You know,
<v Speaker 2>it was fun. He's over. I was excited to see
<v Speaker 2>the Rock. He's not goddamn else snake. Yeah, you know, like,
<v Speaker 2>come on, come on.
<v Speaker 1>Well, the Rock gets into a car and raises his
<v Speaker 1>eyebrow and rides away and runs over.
<v Speaker 2>Again, so he will not be coming back with the car.
<v Speaker 1>He hits with the car.
<v Speaker 2>He gets out, he grabs the mic.
<v Speaker 1>He looks at the camera and says, and also, tonight
<v Speaker 1>it will be Edge versus Billy gun.
<v Speaker 2>Now now it's just flipping out backstage, pulling us out.
<v Speaker 1>You can't do that's how I show, he says, Edge
<v Speaker 1>versus Billy Gunn. It cuts the busies.
<v Speaker 2>That's fucking We can't have two of them. We can't.
<v Speaker 2>A Rock leaves in a limo and like, by all accounts,
<v Speaker 2>you just assume he's done for the night. He's got
<v Speaker 2>They said he could have the night off, so he
<v Speaker 2>took it.
<v Speaker 1>So d X walks up to the d X Express
<v Speaker 1>and stone cold middle finger foam fingers are on the
<v Speaker 1>DX Express windshield wipers.
<v Speaker 2>They should have kept those on there for a rainy night.
<v Speaker 2>I bet it would get the rad off very easily.
<v Speaker 1>If you put those on. It allows you to do
<v Speaker 1>the middle finger time.
<v Speaker 2>Oh dude, you just found that out.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah on SmackDown it's which one. Shut your mouth, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>shut your mouth.
<v Speaker 2>Mouth in the back. When you put on the foam finger,
<v Speaker 2>you do the guy's thoughts. So you could just do
<v Speaker 2>Austin's middle fingers.
<v Speaker 1>As like Albert. Yeah, that's funny as shit.
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. I think you could do the Hogan tot too,
<v Speaker 2>and maybe a triple h one and yeah, there's a
<v Speaker 2>bunch of them.
<v Speaker 1>There's well I was playing a mod oh sure, so
<v Speaker 1>there was like a WWE logo one too.
<v Speaker 2>There was a lot of cool shit on it. Though.
<v Speaker 2>They should mod in a Scotty too hotty warm one
<v Speaker 2>and you do it and you put it.
<v Speaker 1>That would be cool as fun.
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, the Austin pham fingers are on the windshield
<v Speaker 2>of the bus. And she says, oh, this is cute.
<v Speaker 2>What is this? Well, it's phone fingers on a bus
<v Speaker 2>and says, I'm sure Austin put that up there like
<v Speaker 2>he's really here tonight. And then they wave at the
<v Speaker 2>Rocks limo that is leaving at the same time, and
<v Speaker 2>road Dog says, we got your joke. It is very funny.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Shut up, Dog, can't we give you a match?
<v Speaker 2>Shut up? Shut up? Go get prepared for your match
<v Speaker 2>while you're already in your gear. How'd you even know?
<v Speaker 2>I just always worry this. Vince shotb and Vince says,
<v Speaker 2>you know what to put this, Triple H, And Triple
<v Speaker 2>H says, well, if the Rock comes back, I know
<v Speaker 2>where too, and Vince says, get the girls on the bus.
<v Speaker 2>It's cold, Come on to get on the bus. So
<v Speaker 2>they go back onto the bus for the time beating.
<v Speaker 1>Well, now it's time for a light heavyweight championship match.
<v Speaker 1>A few days away from a light heavyweight championship match,
<v Speaker 1>I think there's one at Backlash.
<v Speaker 2>Also, same guys, It is the same guys, and it
<v Speaker 2>is a backlash.
<v Speaker 1>You were correct, Dean malinka versus Scottie too.
<v Speaker 2>Hottie Scotty Taddy is the champion. Cole says, this is
<v Speaker 2>a rivalry that continued on Sunday Night Heat. That goes
<v Speaker 2>to show how much they care about this title. Triple
<v Speaker 2>threat match for a lot Heavyweight title happened on Heat
<v Speaker 2>and Scotty picked up the victory pinning Taka. They don't
<v Speaker 2>mention Taka by name or even mentioned that he's in
<v Speaker 2>this match at all. They just show that he got pinned.
<v Speaker 2>And after the match, Demilo hit Scotty Jodey in the
<v Speaker 2>head with the belt and that could have been enough,
<v Speaker 2>but no, he puts them in the Texas color relief
<v Speaker 2>as well, make some pass out. Yeah, that's true. Heads.
<v Speaker 2>I like that, and Lawler says they they've gotten into
<v Speaker 2>it in the locker room as well, and this has
<v Speaker 2>been a mess. So I was like, oh, they actually
<v Speaker 2>they got some heat here. Okay, I think that Grandmaster
<v Speaker 2>might be hurt. So they were just pushing Scotty as
<v Speaker 2>a singles well until he comes back. Yeah. Are they
<v Speaker 2>not affiliated with Rakishi right now? They're not officially broken
<v Speaker 2>up until Rakishi reveals that he hit stone Hole with
<v Speaker 2>a car.
<v Speaker 1>Mm sure that would end too cool.
<v Speaker 2>That's not very cool at all, No, not even a
<v Speaker 2>little bit.
<v Speaker 1>Really.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they could have turned them heel too, I
<v Speaker 2>mean Grandmaster and Scotty. They also a car gran theft sex.
<v Speaker 1>It shows the footage and Rakishi gets out and then
<v Speaker 1>so does Scotty too haughty and grand that's her sex
<v Speaker 1>and they do the dance over his body the shovel
<v Speaker 1>so Malinko hot starts on him. He beats him down
<v Speaker 1>till Scotty rolls him up for it too. This was
<v Speaker 1>very much just a preview match for the pay per
<v Speaker 1>view for sure, but a surprise ending here. Scotty hits
<v Speaker 1>the running bulldog does the O face and the crowd
<v Speaker 1>is on their feet.
<v Speaker 2>The face is so maybe I just I mean like
<v Speaker 2>it was funny as a kid, but like watching it
<v Speaker 2>back now he is so into it, like and the
<v Speaker 2>crowd loses their vine.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they zoom in on it too.
<v Speaker 2>It's awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Scotty hits the worm with all the theatrics and Malinko
<v Speaker 1>actually sends them to the outside.
<v Speaker 2>Afterwards, he grabs his tights right and yeah, ropes.
<v Speaker 1>Shit cans them. Scotty tries to sunset flip, but Malinko
<v Speaker 1>sits down and holds the ropes and gets the three,
<v Speaker 1>becoming the new light heavyweight champion.
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's a name for that move, James that
<v Speaker 2>Malenko did. What is it?
<v Speaker 1>Face full of stuff?
<v Speaker 2>That's the Batcave. Oh you know what, dude, it is
<v Speaker 2>the Batcave.
<v Speaker 1>Deeply does the Batcave with the ropes and it were
<v Speaker 1>a title?
<v Speaker 2>It does work. It didn't work as I mean it
<v Speaker 2>worked whenever Batchian Booker did it. I can't imagine anyone
<v Speaker 2>kicking out of it. But the Batcave successful once again
<v Speaker 2>in the year two thousand. That's very good, made happy. Well,
<v Speaker 2>we go backstage.
<v Speaker 1>We are here inside the d X Express and Triple
<v Speaker 1>H gets a beep on his pager and it says
<v Speaker 1>three sixteen.
<v Speaker 2>Mmm. So there were, you know, a lot of a
<v Speaker 2>lot of callbacks here to previous Austin Shenaigans. But they
<v Speaker 2>don't believe it, and uh dude, they the first thing
<v Speaker 2>we see was, you know, Shane says, foam finger, what's next?
<v Speaker 2>And Vince just I don't know where it says, I'm
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to the.
<v Speaker 1>Dog's match, right, is everyone here?
<v Speaker 2>I really am right? Not even the dog is looking
<v Speaker 2>for the dogs man.
<v Speaker 1>He says that the dog just looks down.
<v Speaker 2>I don't even I don't know why. The Triple A
<v Speaker 2>just Pagler goes off, as you said, and Triple A says, oh,
<v Speaker 2>three sixteen a very funny. The rock is so creative.
<v Speaker 2>Foam fingers page and me three sixteen and Vince just
<v Speaker 2>give me that. He takes the pager, he looks at it.
<v Speaker 2>I gotta tell you, guys, I don't think Austin's here tonight,
<v Speaker 2>but I got a funny feeling about tonight. And she says,
<v Speaker 2>you're letting rockets to your head, and Vince's no, not
<v Speaker 2>I rock into my head. I get in the rocks
<v Speaker 2>head for a living. Not just that kind of funny feeling.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like you should have a funny feeling. You
<v Speaker 2>just said you look forward to the Dogs match.
<v Speaker 1>I loved him looking at the pager with the reading
<v Speaker 1>glasses on.
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was funny. You ha to see it.
<v Speaker 2>Three sixteen must have been a sign for how long
<v Speaker 2>he wants that match to go.
<v Speaker 1>If you multiplied it about like three, that's what the
<v Speaker 1>time they were given was. They had to fill it
<v Speaker 1>with extra shit afterwards.
<v Speaker 2>So we go backstage.
<v Speaker 1>Crashes backstage with his huge scale uh sulking because he
<v Speaker 1>lost the hardcore title.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's upset, and cousin Bob walks up. Bob hardcore,
<v Speaker 2>Uh walks up and cousin, Bob hardcore is I like
<v Speaker 2>foundationous corporal. So the Bob walks up and he says.
<v Speaker 1>I mean this guy was Taylor made to be in
<v Speaker 1>the fucking mi I A man.
<v Speaker 2>That's I mean there was. He almost went to w
<v Speaker 2>CW and.
<v Speaker 1>That's where he would have been with the m I
<v Speaker 1>A and Cat Johnson.
<v Speaker 2>So the Bob walks up and he says, what's the
<v Speaker 2>matter now? Crash crashes, Oh, man, I lost a hardcourt
<v Speaker 2>title meant everything to me. And Bob says, look, just
<v Speaker 2>because you lost a Hordcord title and you can't get
<v Speaker 2>a girlfriend and you still collect beanie babies doesn't make
<v Speaker 2>you any less of a man. It crashes the beanie
<v Speaker 2>babies were a gift, cousin, and Bob says, okay, let's go,
<v Speaker 2>and Lawler says, beauty babies.
<v Speaker 1>Beanie babies are already getting a heat in two thousand
<v Speaker 1>and that's not I know.
<v Speaker 2>I know, man like, and that's all. That's the worst
<v Speaker 2>thing you could do, not have a girlfriend and collect
<v Speaker 2>beauty babies is your scum of the earth.
<v Speaker 1>It shows a pre tape where tris Stratus is in
<v Speaker 1>Sexy Lingerie telling Bubbaret Dudley how much tables turn her on.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, I mean like this is nuts. This is
<v Speaker 2>some legendary shit. Hear and she says, they come in
<v Speaker 2>all shapes and sizes. There's long ones, those are fun
<v Speaker 2>and uh, the most important part of any table is
<v Speaker 2>its legs. Up keeper is a very important and the
<v Speaker 2>most important one is the center leg. What fucking table?
<v Speaker 2>What fucking tables? Like she got the just the one,
<v Speaker 2>just the one leg tape. I feel like she was
<v Speaker 2>implying a lot about a dick here.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get that.
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, maybe I was off kilter there, my apologies. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, okay, no problem. So she says, the look
<v Speaker 2>in the field of the table depends solely on the
<v Speaker 2>way one decides to rub it down after it's been used.
<v Speaker 2>And the one thing they have in common is that
<v Speaker 2>they are very They have to be hard, which has
<v Speaker 2>nothing to do.
<v Speaker 1>With a cock and no, it's just mahogany tables. You
<v Speaker 1>make them more rounescape sometimes right well, TNA with tris
<v Speaker 1>Stratus versus Hardcore Holly and crash Holly, known as the
<v Speaker 1>Holly Cousins.
<v Speaker 2>Tests and Albert are both out here, and you know
<v Speaker 2>they're a tag team because they both wear glasses.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, Albert with the little glasses is an all timer.
<v Speaker 2>Look for me, they are little glass Okay, I think
<v Speaker 2>that's is that his just bring it picture Albert and
<v Speaker 2>the glasses or what. He's definitely in a game with
<v Speaker 2>the glasses.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, it's the one with the square. I don't
<v Speaker 1>remember which one that is.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's smack down two then yeah, maybe smack they
<v Speaker 2>get smacked too, Yeah, I mean little glasses. Test also
<v Speaker 2>wearing little glasses, which is a rarer variant. I feel like,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why he felt they need to wear
<v Speaker 2>somehow smaller glasses than Albert.
<v Speaker 1>They should have got the Oakley two thousand Conan glasses.
<v Speaker 2>Christians are those on this show. They can't do it too.
<v Speaker 1>I keep forgetting These guys are called t and A right,
<v Speaker 1>not t N t N. Why the fuck wouldn't they
<v Speaker 1>be called TNA.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the joke, maybe standards and practices would have been
<v Speaker 2>like no way, we just.
<v Speaker 1>Had Trish Stratus in our lingerie talking about getting a
<v Speaker 1>table all crazy.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what's wrong with that.
<v Speaker 1>Nothing's wrong with it. That's why I'm saying, why isn't
<v Speaker 1>their name DNA.
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's there's no N in the group. It's just
<v Speaker 2>Test and Albert.
<v Speaker 1>I mean they call him t NA.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I legit think it had to have been a
<v Speaker 2>standards of practices thing like they must have said, dude,
<v Speaker 2>you cannot your name can't be tits and ass like
<v Speaker 2>it has to be tits ands.
<v Speaker 1>And Russo said, let me try what if we called
<v Speaker 1>a group sex.
<v Speaker 2>That was on pay per view?
<v Speaker 1>So Tests and hardcore Holly start things off here. I
<v Speaker 1>gotta say I love the Holly cousins, little panty shaped
<v Speaker 1>tiny pants.
<v Speaker 2>Always thought they re Trett. That's great. I also love
<v Speaker 2>that they're allegedly well over eight hundred pounds. And I
<v Speaker 2>love that Crash Holly also weighed that in the New
<v Speaker 2>Mersey game.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, I love that he just brings the scale everywhere.
<v Speaker 2>We believe you.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, Crash tags in and starts kicking Test ass.
<v Speaker 1>He hits a Tornado DDT for a two here, look great.
<v Speaker 2>I don't want you to skip by the part where
<v Speaker 2>Test countered and Irish from Bob Holly and Hit cuts
<v Speaker 2>like a knife.
<v Speaker 1>That's not shit, That's why I was getting buried.
<v Speaker 2>Give me that, you don't do that move.
<v Speaker 1>So test stuff some with the power bomb for a
<v Speaker 1>two that we don't see because we were looking at Trish, right,
<v Speaker 1>and we are looking at Trish and then we are
<v Speaker 1>looking at Bubba and Deva looking at.
<v Speaker 2>This is a tape show, right, and they still fuck
<v Speaker 2>them up harder.
<v Speaker 1>Holly comes in and starts taking it to Albert fucking
<v Speaker 1>creams him with a drop kick.
<v Speaker 2>It looked, dude, he fucking's with a dropkick and lands
<v Speaker 2>in a pin.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, there is nothing better than just a
<v Speaker 1>good drop kick. I mean, if you're a wrestler, just
<v Speaker 1>get a good dropkick. Good fundamental zone gets you everywhere.
<v Speaker 2>That's Ryan Clancy's got a beautiful dropkick.
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's wonderful.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Bob.
<v Speaker 1>Holly starts going up, but Crash wants to get tagged in,
<v Speaker 1>so he gets down and tags him.
<v Speaker 2>Spot my spot.
<v Speaker 1>So Crash goes up and misses a splash and it
<v Speaker 1>is so fucking funny the way they film this. I
<v Speaker 1>mean he is just arms out and just misses.
<v Speaker 2>Completely enthusiastic time you'll ever see and he just I mean,
<v Speaker 2>nobody at the pool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was awesome hardcore. Holly comes in and literally
<v Speaker 1>just stands over top of him after he misses splash
<v Speaker 1>and says, what the hell you screwed it up?
<v Speaker 2>You fucking set up a bitch, And then out of nowhere,
<v Speaker 2>Test comes in and hits him with a big boot
<v Speaker 2>in the head.
<v Speaker 1>Albert then hits a gorilla press driver and Test follows
<v Speaker 1>it up with an elbow drop from the top rope
<v Speaker 1>for the wind.
<v Speaker 2>Test was not tagged in. Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, don't
<v Speaker 2>look too much into it.
<v Speaker 1>The Dudley's come from behind TAA.
<v Speaker 2>On the ramp and not t Please get that right.
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to confuse anyone at home. The Dudley's
<v Speaker 2>come from behind and it's the end. I'll get you. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So they get attacked from behind by the Dudleys with chairs.
<v Speaker 1>Bubba then grabs Trish by the hair and throws in
<v Speaker 1>the ring.
<v Speaker 2>Bubba hits fucking Tests in the back of a chair.
<v Speaker 2>Devon gets all the way around Albert in the front
<v Speaker 2>so he can hit him in the head with the chair.
<v Speaker 2>What do you fucking do that for?
<v Speaker 1>He was seeing if you had the little glasses on.
<v Speaker 2>He didn't with the chair. Bubba has Trish and he
<v Speaker 2>drags her in the ring and the crowd's fucking fired up.
<v Speaker 2>Devon gets the table. They set it up in the ring.
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna a fucking power bomb or through this table,
<v Speaker 2>and Bubba sets up in the corner. Drags are up top.
<v Speaker 2>The Devon loads Trish up onto his shoulders power bomb position,
<v Speaker 2>and he doesn't go because Chris Trish starts caressing his
<v Speaker 2>head and Trisha is kissing his head and that stops
<v Speaker 2>Bubba from doing the power bomb. And Bubba just sits
<v Speaker 2>there and he starts to let her down, and Devon's upset.
<v Speaker 2>He says, ah, go on, and then Test comes in
<v Speaker 2>and running big foods divon uh, and then Tests drags
<v Speaker 2>Trish down. Bubba's in his trance. He's horny his ship.
<v Speaker 1>This is not the right trance, but that's fine, Like yeah,
<v Speaker 1>what like this is?
<v Speaker 2>This is?
<v Speaker 1>This is before they were clever with it. Bubba just
<v Speaker 1>gets really horny and just forgets what's going on. This
<v Speaker 1>is the original trance. Tris got put up in a
<v Speaker 1>power bomb position and kissed Bubba on the head and
<v Speaker 1>said it's t and A and Bubba just went into
<v Speaker 1>a crazy chrance. He said, I thought it was t NA,
<v Speaker 1>and then she also says road Dog's up clean the night.
<v Speaker 1>That's what really put him in. I guess who Christian
<v Speaker 1>t se.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they fucking bring Trish down. Bubba's in his trance.
<v Speaker 2>Albert points at him and fucking talk shit and it shows,
<v Speaker 2>you know, Trish getting away. The next shot you see
<v Speaker 2>is Albert double goozling him and hitting her at ten
<v Speaker 2>thirty one through the day. That was awesome. It was
<v Speaker 2>sick as fuck. Albert is awesome. These above these guys,
<v Speaker 2>T and A are a great team, and yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed them very much.
<v Speaker 1>Well we go backstage, Vince and DX are here.
<v Speaker 2>I Manhummes the regime please, Yeah, that's what I say.
<v Speaker 1>I wrote down d X the whole time. But I
<v Speaker 1>guess they are the big man Helmsley regime. Vince says
<v Speaker 1>they should start a search party.
<v Speaker 2>Mm, which you know I'm assuming this is after the
<v Speaker 2>other time there was a search party that DX did
<v Speaker 2>for Austin and Rode. Dog got gott in a bear trap,
<v Speaker 2>the largest bear trap of all time. So Triple Ah says,
<v Speaker 2>Vince got calmed down and trible. He says there's no
<v Speaker 2>reason we freaked out about this. And Vin says, I
<v Speaker 2>know he's not here, but I want to cover all
<v Speaker 2>of our bases. Let's go on a little search party
<v Speaker 2>type thing. That's how he describes it, little search party
<v Speaker 2>type thing. And Shane says, you're totally letting the rocket
<v Speaker 2>in your brain and trible. He says, all right, if
<v Speaker 2>it makes you better, we'll do it. I'll go with
<v Speaker 2>the girls, and you two go together. Triple Aha has
<v Speaker 2>no intention to look at Rostin. Just wanted to go
<v Speaker 2>with the girls. So Vince and Shane go down the
<v Speaker 2>hallway and then stops Shane and he gives him a look,
<v Speaker 2>and he tells him be quiet, and he's he's pointing
<v Speaker 2>over to another room and he starts talking. He says, well,
<v Speaker 2>nothing's up. We're fine, Shane. Everything's cool. We'll just chill out.
<v Speaker 2>Then he walks up to green pipe and drape which
<v Speaker 2>is just in the hallway, just splitting in the hallway,
<v Speaker 2>of course, and he holds it and he gives Shane
<v Speaker 2>the iggy and he opens the curtain and Shane Vince
<v Speaker 2>just get him, get a cop shine, get up, Shane,
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, like immediately you could see this is
<v Speaker 2>a cardboard cut out on the c and Vince cow
<v Speaker 2>Ga Shane. Shane not only runs in punches the cutout
<v Speaker 2>in the head to break it. Shane then, after punching cardboard,
<v Speaker 2>starts kicking its ass like it's awesome. And it's not
<v Speaker 2>until she Vince says Shannon's cardboard that Shane stops and
<v Speaker 2>realizes that it's cardboard. Yeah, I love this.
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was awesome, a good callback, bought a
<v Speaker 1>good callback tonight.
<v Speaker 2>Great.
<v Speaker 1>Shane's fucking freaking out, I mean all freaked out.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, I'm tired of game's coming off. Freaked out. I
<v Speaker 2>mean he Vincent, I damn cardboard cut out. That son
<v Speaker 2>of a bitch got us again. I mean, like the
<v Speaker 2>the ability of this group to to be the butt
<v Speaker 2>of the joke is really what makes this ship. So
<v Speaker 2>we got backstage.
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie is walking and Kirk comes up and scares her.
<v Speaker 2>Ah, Kurt says, hit, sorry, stephan didn't mean to scare you.
<v Speaker 2>I've been looking all over for you. You know this
<v Speaker 2>movie Gladiator. I'm sure this thing's gonna be a big hit.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Steven Spielberg Oscar Winner, you know he no
<v Speaker 2>Oscar winner Steven Spielberg. He's personally invited me to attend
<v Speaker 2>the world premiere, so I'm gonna have to miss next
<v Speaker 2>week for off. That's okay with you? And step says, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's fucking fine. That's nuts.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this was a Spike TV classic. I don't know
<v Speaker 1>how many times they replayed Gladiator, but it was a lot.
<v Speaker 1>I've seen that movie like five hundred thousand.
<v Speaker 2>Times, come on before Raw or after Raw.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, during the day on the weekends. I mean, you're
<v Speaker 1>gonna get fucking Star Wars episode one and fucking Gladiator,
<v Speaker 1>like this is what it's all about.
<v Speaker 2>She says, Hey, you haven't buy any chance seen s
<v Speaker 2>don't you know, have you? And Kurt says, I've I've
<v Speaker 2>never met the guy, which is crazy. I was like,
<v Speaker 2>is that true? Like Kurt and Austin haven't interacted yet,
<v Speaker 2>but I guess Kurt hasn't been here for long at
<v Speaker 2>this point.
<v Speaker 1>No, because Taz is still in the singlet Holy shit too.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that just happened January. You can follow Kurt's career
<v Speaker 2>also by just following Taz's career. It's very similar or
<v Speaker 2>not similar, but you know there's points in time where
<v Speaker 2>you can pinpoint. Uh So, Curt says, I've never met
<v Speaker 2>the guy about Austin. He says, I'm sure he's a
<v Speaker 2>big fan. I'd love to meet him. Very fun. No,
<v Speaker 2>you do not want to meet him. Please stay cherish,
<v Speaker 2>you stay away from. Steph says you haven't seen him,
<v Speaker 2>and Kurt says no. But also one thing, you know
<v Speaker 2>what you did for me last morning, and that can
<v Speaker 2>you do the same the night And Steph says yeah, sure, sure,
<v Speaker 2>what no problem, and churts, O, thank you so much.
<v Speaker 2>He leaves, and Stephanie turns away and Kurt's down the
<v Speaker 2>hallway and Kirk goes whoa, and Stephanie fucking jumps horrified.
<v Speaker 2>And that's again, like I mean, Kurt and Stephanie have
<v Speaker 2>a great chemistry from here until fucking I mean he's gone.
<v Speaker 1>I guess, yeah that's true. I mean they are pretty
<v Speaker 1>much linked at the hip for a while.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's always fucking good shits here.
<v Speaker 2>And he even here like early kurd angle days, where
<v Speaker 2>you know you would think that this is him still
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure it out, but even I mean, he
<v Speaker 2>can't even be a year in here and he's already
<v Speaker 2>like fucking one of the top most entertaining guys on
<v Speaker 2>the show. Yeah for sure.
<v Speaker 1>SmackDown is brought to you by Phone Free dot Com
<v Speaker 1>free long distance calls over the Internet.
<v Speaker 2>That's that was made me feel old as shit. I
<v Speaker 2>hate it hearing that. I was like, oh wow, long
<v Speaker 2>distance calls like one, we're a fucking you know, a
<v Speaker 2>big problem that needed to be solved, and two calls
<v Speaker 2>over the Internet like we're just starting to be a thing. Yeah, so, uh,
<v Speaker 2>phone Free dot Com.
<v Speaker 1>It was also brought to you by Star Wars Episode one,
<v Speaker 1>Jedi Power Battles for PlayStation. Use your Jedi lightsaber to
<v Speaker 1>ward off evil minions from the dark side of the
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars Galaxy.
<v Speaker 2>From Lucas Arts, I won't be doing that balls yet.
<v Speaker 2>Did you ever play that one? No, I actually do.
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually not a Star Wars head like at all.
<v Speaker 1>My dad was super into it, so like I was,
<v Speaker 1>I was also in the Star Wars.
<v Speaker 2>And I don't mean to disrespect the history, you know,
<v Speaker 2>not that I have the dog want to prove it
<v Speaker 2>no valid to dog. I want to you know, did
<v Speaker 2>you show your dad the game?
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean so when this came out, I was
<v Speaker 1>super young. I don't remember if it was this one
<v Speaker 1>or not. I remember playing one on PlayStation though, and
<v Speaker 1>I remember it was like the first level. I played
<v Speaker 1>it over and over and over again. I was young,
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't really understand video games too much until
<v Speaker 1>I got into Xbox and stuff. But yeah, I just remember.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it was this one, but I
<v Speaker 1>remember there's a Star Wars game I played, and I
<v Speaker 1>would play the first level over and over and over again,
<v Speaker 1>and it was one where the roll droids, though I
<v Speaker 1>don't know what they're called, the droids that roll in
<v Speaker 1>and then they come up and they have two guns,
<v Speaker 1>and I would just always struggle right there. When I
<v Speaker 1>was a kid, I'm like, god, fucking damn it.
<v Speaker 2>Now.
<v Speaker 1>We'd get off and then I would get back on
<v Speaker 1>and try to beat it again.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I have not a similar one, but like,
<v Speaker 2>I have a memory of not being able to get
<v Speaker 2>past a part of a game and just giving up
<v Speaker 2>on it. It was fucking It was one of the
<v Speaker 2>turn Raider games on PlayStation. There was a part where
<v Speaker 2>there's like it's like water outside of a mansion and
<v Speaker 2>you have to try to either I think it's getting
<v Speaker 2>side or you have to climb up the side of
<v Speaker 2>the building. I remember there's being big fucking brick things
<v Speaker 2>in my way and I couldn't figure it out forever.
<v Speaker 2>I think I rented it from Blockbuster. I was like, well,
<v Speaker 2>fucking this pissing me off. Yeah, I even I you
<v Speaker 2>know what. I fucking remember asking my dad to try
<v Speaker 2>it out because he would play games with me, and
<v Speaker 2>I was like, hey, can you like, I don't know
<v Speaker 2>what's going on here, Like did you do this?
<v Speaker 3>Man?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, dumb bastard with the puzzles?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I want to play State of Emergency and
<v Speaker 1>shoot sit up. I'm not trying to solve a puzzle.
<v Speaker 1>And of course, Bally Fitness, yeah what, we don't care.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I'm fat.
<v Speaker 1>It's not nearly as cool as free long distance calls
<v Speaker 1>over the internet or a PlayStation game. Sorry, Bally Fitness.
<v Speaker 2>Hell No, snacks were popping in two thousand and they
<v Speaker 2>were only getting better.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, don't even get me started when they release
<v Speaker 1>Mountain Duvault. I mean started when they started releasing Dorito's
<v Speaker 1>Triangles three D style.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, remember the butterfinger bites, the little Circle
<v Speaker 2>Johns or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the Yeah, the circles, Yeah, the bbs. You get
<v Speaker 1>them at the movie theater.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So we have Chris Jericho and Taz versus Crispin Wa
<v Speaker 1>and Perry Saturn.
<v Speaker 2>On paper, what I fucking match? Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>I mean Taz is here in singlet full entrance a
<v Speaker 1>rarity for us.
<v Speaker 2>Really, what do you think of test Spiro.
<v Speaker 1>Where it comes out the ground all soft dick.
<v Speaker 2>Because I didn't expect that, Like it's yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I'll take it, man, It's better than his presentation later on.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I legit wrote down. Oh Taz still has pyro,
<v Speaker 2>so they care about him for the time being. Yeah. Right,
<v Speaker 2>even he comes out and says, oh, you know Taz
<v Speaker 2>is a former champion.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think you just got dog walk by Triple h.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like, didn't you beat him Waller or do you
<v Speaker 2>beat him soon?
<v Speaker 1>Well? This has very much Raven and Saturn versus Horse
<v Speaker 1>and Canyon Vibe.
<v Speaker 2>For sure. I was thinking that many peopore thinking actually
<v Speaker 2>like they were, they were actually looking for some inspiration
<v Speaker 2>and they went for w CW after eight weeks of
<v Speaker 2>shitty shows.
<v Speaker 1>Anyone our Patreon or anyone that wants to be in
<v Speaker 1>the future. You can yourself watch Raven and Perry Saturn
<v Speaker 1>versus Horse Hogan and Chris Canyon, and everyone says it's
<v Speaker 1>one of the greatest matches of their lives. They've never
<v Speaker 1>seen one better.
<v Speaker 2>There's somehow Nitro had millions of viewers and you could
<v Speaker 2>be one of a few thousand that see this match.
<v Speaker 1>Well, Jericho and Saturn start things off here. Saturn hits
<v Speaker 1>Jericho with a flapjack. Jericho goes for the walls, but
<v Speaker 1>uh ben Wa hits them with the icy belt when
<v Speaker 1>the ref gets distracted.
<v Speaker 2>I thought I loved jit was like, oh wow, this
<v Speaker 2>match is over already, Like they fucking let this go here.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, So Jericho and Benoit have a match
<v Speaker 2>for the Interconinal title at Backlash and tazz in. Perry
<v Speaker 2>Saturn's connection here is that they both are going for
<v Speaker 2>the twenty four to seven hardcore title at the pay
<v Speaker 2>per view that anyone can go for. Fuck yeah, why
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't you want that?
<v Speaker 4>You know?
<v Speaker 2>Or some easy picking?
<v Speaker 1>Right, still gets same championship pay day, Right.
<v Speaker 2>That's a fucking great question. I actually don't know if
<v Speaker 2>that was ever brought up. Yeah, probably not, No, but
<v Speaker 2>that's a great I mean they should have. Yeah, it
<v Speaker 2>would make a lot more sense.
<v Speaker 1>Term Land should go forward to that point.
<v Speaker 2>Why would you not go for you? Like Crash must
<v Speaker 2>be a millionaire.
<v Speaker 1>He got like an infinity amount of championship. Hey days,
<v Speaker 1>they had to keep giving him it when he kept
<v Speaker 1>winning it. Joey Tabs might have won it there once.
<v Speaker 2>Dress as a clown not the ICP by the way.
<v Speaker 1>Well, the ref turns around and Ben Wah goes back
<v Speaker 1>to his corner and kicks the belt out of the ring,
<v Speaker 1>which I thought was cool that Jericho HiT's a flying
<v Speaker 1>desperation line on Perry Saturn here and gets the.
<v Speaker 2>Tag to Taz does.
<v Speaker 1>Taz comes in, he goes for the head and arm
<v Speaker 1>taz Plex, but Perry Saturn gets out until Taz catches
<v Speaker 1>him with the Northern Lights.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sad that they didn't continue to call everything a
<v Speaker 2>tazlex here. Like I understand, it's fun.
<v Speaker 1>It was built for you, buddy, it's right here, you know, Like, but.
<v Speaker 2>Like just every suplet's just call it tasplex like that.
<v Speaker 1>Also, we get edged on this head and arm Tasplex
<v Speaker 1>and wwe every single time we watched this guy. He
<v Speaker 1>knows this shit's awesome. We know it's awesome, and we
<v Speaker 1>never get to see it.
<v Speaker 2>No one wants to take it for some reason.
<v Speaker 1>Perry Saturn absolutely he would have taken off the top
<v Speaker 1>road to the floor.
<v Speaker 2>Well that's why Perry wasn't in, you know, in charge
<v Speaker 2>of his matches.
<v Speaker 1>Taz and Perry Saturn would go double triple platinum for
<v Speaker 1>me on the SmackDown games. I'm doing this match every
<v Speaker 1>day when I get on, like this is this is
<v Speaker 1>the supplex match for me.
<v Speaker 2>Two, i mean, two of the best video game move
<v Speaker 2>sets ever.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, super underrated. Like you have to be some real
<v Speaker 1>gamers to know that Taz and Saturn have like the
<v Speaker 1>most fun move sets in those Yeah, kill.
<v Speaker 2>You like there's you know, they were never in the
<v Speaker 2>games high enough that like their moves like it's backed
<v Speaker 2>on two, especially.
<v Speaker 1>Everyone that logs on right they're playing Steve Austin or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>But Taz and Saturn got this souplexes, yes, sir, come on.
<v Speaker 1>Saturn hits a belly of back and tags to Ben
<v Speaker 1>Wah Ben win. Saturn then hit cutting the cheese, but
<v Speaker 1>with the King Kong knee drop instead.
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome.
<v Speaker 1>You know what's funny is you know, I know someone
<v Speaker 1>else does this.
<v Speaker 2>I just couldn't remember it. Okay, I have annoying Like
<v Speaker 2>I was trying so hard to figure out who does
<v Speaker 2>this move and what to call it, and I didn't
<v Speaker 2>write anything. The last thing I thought it was cutting,
<v Speaker 2>like they don't deserve They don't deserve that. Yeah, maybe
<v Speaker 2>someone can remind us of someone else that does this
<v Speaker 2>finger knee drop not the nasty.
<v Speaker 1>Place backbreaker really anything? Yeah, leg drop, knee drop doesn't matter. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>cutting the cheese. That's Steve Blackman and Al Snow's finisher.
<v Speaker 2>That's fucking insane.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean they're in that sho Hey, you know
<v Speaker 1>Steve Blackman, Ali Snow, they're in that shit.
<v Speaker 2>I mean you gotta give him that. Saturn kills Taz
<v Speaker 2>on this.
<v Speaker 1>By the does this move is fucking awesome?
<v Speaker 2>He yeah. Like I like deb was here watching with me,
<v Speaker 2>and like she's playing on her phone and I had
<v Speaker 2>to rewind. I said, you look at this. It was
<v Speaker 2>insane looking.
<v Speaker 1>Well, Ben Wag is the crppler crossface on Taz, but
<v Speaker 1>Jericho breaks it up. Jericho then hits a bulldog, but
<v Speaker 1>Saturn breaks it up. Taz locks in the taz mission
<v Speaker 1>on Saturn and they fall to the outside.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was cool. I like that.
<v Speaker 1>Ben Wad then knocks Saturn off the apron when Jericho
<v Speaker 1>whips them to the ropes, and then Jericho catches him
<v Speaker 1>with the Lion Salt to pick up the win.
<v Speaker 2>And they said it here. And I don't know if
<v Speaker 2>he only just started using this here or something, but
<v Speaker 2>Cole on commentary says, he calls this the Lion Salt,
<v Speaker 2>which makes me think he had him in doing it.
<v Speaker 2>He was they were just calling it the Luther Salt,
<v Speaker 2>which I mean, you know, shout out to the o G.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, gotta give that guy his props. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>he was the one that came up with it.
<v Speaker 2>I mean it changed Jericho's career, Like that's one of
<v Speaker 2>his fucking big moves, and like Luther's my goat.
<v Speaker 1>So he got backstage. Shane' sees a bunch of beer
<v Speaker 1>cans outside the door. As Triple Ace walks up.
<v Speaker 2>He says, wait, dude, this is funny as ship, like
<v Speaker 2>a this is straight out of a goddamn Elmer carton.
<v Speaker 1>This might be my favorite one of the evening.
<v Speaker 2>It's awesome. Yeah, it's funny. Shane is Yeah, like you said,
<v Speaker 2>he's at the door now and waiting for Tripley, he says,
<v Speaker 2>and then he opens the door and he rushes in
<v Speaker 2>and you can hear beer cans getting just demolished. They're
<v Speaker 2>all over the fucking place. Triple che runs behind him
<v Speaker 2>and turns on light and the camera comes in. You
<v Speaker 2>see Shane laying in a bottle of beer cans. And
<v Speaker 2>Shane looks around and he's serving. The scene is once
<v Speaker 2>he's he's laying on He says, damn, damn it, I'm
<v Speaker 2>He gets up and he's kicking cans all over the
<v Speaker 2>place and it's making just the best noise ever in
<v Speaker 2>Triple h pixeling up and he spikes it and he says,
<v Speaker 2>Austin like a like a real villain getting forwarded.
<v Speaker 1>So now it's time for the future of the evening.
<v Speaker 2>No, no, it is not.
<v Speaker 1>It's like there's so many other matches under Dog. That's
<v Speaker 1>what you would always say when he came out.
<v Speaker 2>There's one. Well, there's big stipulations too as well. Road
<v Speaker 2>Dog versus Christion of Edge interferes. Edge and Christian are
<v Speaker 2>stripped of the tag titles Edge, Edge.
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about Edge.
<v Speaker 2>Cole also says road Dog demanded that Tory stay in
<v Speaker 2>the back because on raw Christian dropped her on her head.
<v Speaker 1>Damn.
<v Speaker 2>I don't In my head, I was like, wow, what
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming it was the end prettier, but like in
<v Speaker 2>my head, I was like, oh, he fucking hit her
<v Speaker 2>with like the awful woffle or something. Oh that been awesome.
<v Speaker 1>How about a head an arm tas plack?
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, why Taz isn't doing it? Might as well.
<v Speaker 1>Well, Christian comes through the crowd and him and road
<v Speaker 1>Dog start fighting on the outside.
<v Speaker 2>Of the ring. Immediately the dog attacks him.
<v Speaker 1>Well, Christian Crotch's road Dog on the barricade and he
<v Speaker 1>heads inside. Christian baseball slides road Dog and then hits
<v Speaker 1>a triangle cross body to the outside.
<v Speaker 2>They get back in the ring here and like, this
<v Speaker 2>is the only time I saw her on the whole show.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they try to avoid it or what,
<v Speaker 2>but like six dudes in the front row hold up
<v Speaker 2>a big DX sucks. Yeah, dude, it's large.
<v Speaker 1>They definitely told them to not hold that up.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can do it during the DX match and
<v Speaker 2>that's it. Well, there's only one.
<v Speaker 1>There's also a sign which I thought was funny that
<v Speaker 1>said Poncho three sixteen Stold has a cat named Poncho nowadays.
<v Speaker 2>Oh shit, that's awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Road Dog catches Christian with a line out of mid
<v Speaker 1>air and gets a two. Yeah, yeah, that was cool.
<v Speaker 1>You know, cats Jack wouldn't make that look a hard
<v Speaker 1>or ties better, but I guess we'll take the dog
<v Speaker 1>version does. Christian hits a reverse DDT off the second
<v Speaker 1>for a double down. Christian then fucking nails road Dog
<v Speaker 1>with a flying shoulder tack.
<v Speaker 2>Well, that was awesome. It made a crazy sound too.
<v Speaker 2>Even commentary said, whoa, what the fuck? Yeah, dude, he
<v Speaker 2>really nailed him.
<v Speaker 1>Christian follows up with a sitout goardbuster for a two,
<v Speaker 1>and then road Dog hits the pump handle slam and wins.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I was so so confused. He didn't cheat at all,
<v Speaker 2>Like I guess he hot started outside, but other than that,
<v Speaker 2>he didn't do a single thing to try to cheat
<v Speaker 2>the wind. He just wins with his move out of
<v Speaker 2>nowhere too. What yeah? Right? Like, why the fuck were
<v Speaker 2>they worried about edge interfering or anything here? Like the
<v Speaker 2>dog whooped his ass and then she super not here
<v Speaker 2>so much so that road Dog wins clean with pump
<v Speaker 2>anels slam. No theatrics. By the way, he didn't fuck
<v Speaker 2>his ass.
<v Speaker 1>He just hits them with the move out of respect
<v Speaker 1>because they were gonna tear this place down.
<v Speaker 2>Then road Dog kicks Christian's ass after the match and
<v Speaker 2>punches the ref in the head. He kicked christians ass
<v Speaker 2>so much on the outside, throws him in the stairs.
<v Speaker 2>Refs come and break it up. He just he's just
<v Speaker 2>the road Dog is a beast. What the fuck? Like,
<v Speaker 2>why where's Edge?
<v Speaker 1>I thought this show was funny too, because there's a
<v Speaker 1>dude in the crowd with a little green alien. He's
<v Speaker 1>been trying to get on camera all night.
<v Speaker 2>That's funny. He's popping all crazy in the background of this.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's awesome. The refs come out and pull him off.
<v Speaker 1>Yet Lily and Garcia says the raft reversus a decision,
<v Speaker 1>road Dog is, buddy, you just beat this ship out
<v Speaker 1>a Christian and like, god, they why did they do
<v Speaker 1>this like this?
<v Speaker 2>Why didn't they have road Dog cheat? And then like
<v Speaker 2>the satisfying part is the decisions reversed. He won fair
<v Speaker 2>and square and then beat him up some more. He
<v Speaker 2>beat his ass.
<v Speaker 1>Then he beat his ass, and then the announcement comes
<v Speaker 1>out that there the decision has been reversed, and then
<v Speaker 1>they cut away. All right, well, yes, I'll forget that happened.
<v Speaker 2>Rod was super surprised. They say the winner is Christian.
<v Speaker 2>It cuts the road dog and he says, why what what?
<v Speaker 2>Like he of course, even when he wins, he's a
<v Speaker 2>dumb ass idiot. If only mister ass was here.
<v Speaker 1>So you go backstage. Steph says that Kurt Angle scared
<v Speaker 1>the hell out of her earlier.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so they're all together backstage here and Vinceys Shane
<v Speaker 2>calm down, and Shane looks at him says, I'm not
<v Speaker 2>calming down. Step says, currently just ski the hell out
<v Speaker 2>of me. And then Tory runs up, Uh Tory. I
<v Speaker 2>guess some people might not know. This is not Tory Wilson.
<v Speaker 2>This another Tory. Uh Tory one r one, I one
<v Speaker 2>not her. So Tory wands up and she whispers and say,
<v Speaker 2>I found him. I found him. He's under our noses.
<v Speaker 2>So then she guides them through the hallway back to
<v Speaker 2>the green pipe and drape that we previously saw earlier.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if we were supposed to forget about
<v Speaker 2>this or what happened to here. But we go to
<v Speaker 2>the back to the green pipe and drape, and you
<v Speaker 2>can hear beyond the pipe and drape, which is also
<v Speaker 2>a door. Uh here you can hear the fucking w
<v Speaker 2>BF aggression Stone Corner, which we are left to believe
<v Speaker 2>that Stone Cold is in a closet that's listening to
<v Speaker 2>the rap of his these songs.
<v Speaker 1>Badass, isn't it.
<v Speaker 2>It's loud as ship too. We can hear through the door.
<v Speaker 2>So Triple Edge concocts a plan. He says, you open
<v Speaker 2>the door and will.
<v Speaker 1>Kick his ass, A very good plan, good player, Triple
<v Speaker 1>counts it down.
<v Speaker 2>Vince opens the door and they rush in. But it's
<v Speaker 2>just a JVC kom boom box playing the song. I
<v Speaker 2>mean that ship sounds awesome though, Like, yeah, for real,
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Alston ever on this.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was a big deal back in the day.
<v Speaker 2>That just triggered like, wow, that's unbelievable, that's awesome. Sadly, this,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it doesn't have anti skip in the form
<v Speaker 2>of it being thrown directly on the ground. Sadly, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>Triple Ah throws it straight on the ground.
<v Speaker 1>And these big ass batteries from out of this playing.
<v Speaker 2>Did they do like a cinematic shot of the batteries
<v Speaker 2>like it was the the JBC KU boom box bleeding out? Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>Why I wish Stone Cold would have came out to
<v Speaker 2>this song one time. It would have made me very happy.
<v Speaker 1>He was tested it behind the doors here, see if
<v Speaker 1>you liked it or not. He said, give me the
<v Speaker 1>distarb version. I like this other song, he says, No, Mommy,
<v Speaker 1>specifically this partly.
<v Speaker 2>Can we put this song on his shoun Oh, Steve,
<v Speaker 2>I don't think, Steve, this is.
<v Speaker 1>Ridiculous what you're asking.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I want glass shatters?
<v Speaker 1>And then it goes no, mommy, Steve Wiscott to let
<v Speaker 1>you go?
<v Speaker 2>Why why? Oh? But you could have a group on
<v Speaker 2>this show called t n A.
<v Speaker 1>Alright, Steve s t and ah. Why that's how I
<v Speaker 1>came up with the white gimmick.
<v Speaker 2>General kept blowing his mind. Next, you're gonna tell me
<v Speaker 2>the road dogs on this show?
<v Speaker 1>Jeve rod Dogs in a feature Evening featured well now
<v Speaker 1>it's sign for the kurd Angle town Hall. Kurt Angle
<v Speaker 1>comes out here and says he feels sorry about the
<v Speaker 1>big show.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he says, many feel I hate the Big Show.
<v Speaker 2>I don't hate anybody. I feel sorry for the Big Show.
<v Speaker 2>You know, talk about a talented man seven feet tall,
<v Speaker 2>five hundred pounds, and he lets all that tone go
<v Speaker 2>to waste. And let me put it in terms that
<v Speaker 2>even all of you can understand. I guess you can
<v Speaker 2>understand this, James. It's like the Charlotte Hornets. They're a
<v Speaker 2>very talented bunch, but they're not going anywhere. They're not
<v Speaker 2>going to accomplish anything, much like the Atlanta Braves. He
<v Speaker 2>said that here, he says, I know as us.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so, Buddy oh nine two thousand. Maybe
<v Speaker 1>you have it with the Charlotte Hornets, later to be
<v Speaker 1>renamed the Charlotte Bobcats and then later to be renamed
<v Speaker 1>again with the Charlotte Hornets. Right well, Kurt Angle and
<v Speaker 1>Big boss Man and Bull Buchanon are gonna team up
<v Speaker 1>to take on Big Show.
<v Speaker 2>And okay, were you I'm assuming you were just as
<v Speaker 2>confused as I was during the entrances like Kurt comes out,
<v Speaker 2>Bossman and Bowlby Canon come out, I said, okay, six Man,
<v Speaker 2>tag uh Rikishi and Big Show come out. And then
<v Speaker 2>the match begins and I was very confused.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I thought it was a tag and
<v Speaker 1>then yeah, handicap. I guess sure, it don't matter.
<v Speaker 2>None of this matters. Big Show comes out to his
<v Speaker 2>wrap theme from w FF Aggression Stone Cold Better get
<v Speaker 2>a clue, and he does the Scott Hall walk again.
<v Speaker 2>He gyrates on the apron and then I wrote, wait,
<v Speaker 2>this is a handicap match.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, Kurt runs at Big Show, but Big Show
<v Speaker 1>goozles his head and fucking head bots him.
<v Speaker 2>Bullby Canan and Bossman threw Kurt at him. This is
<v Speaker 2>a fucked up due so Bull Buchanan, why you say
<v Speaker 2>like that? Pleuts some respect?
<v Speaker 3>Like, what did Bull Mechanon do to you, Bull Buchanon? Right,
<v Speaker 3>b can't you can't.
<v Speaker 1>Bob Buchanan throws Rakeshi into the steps on the outside.
<v Speaker 1>Boss Man and B Squared then start putting the bricks
<v Speaker 1>to him.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, Bobby Canon picks the stairs up and hits Rakishi
<v Speaker 2>with them on the floor.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I didn't see any of that really, Yeah it
<v Speaker 1>wasn't looking. You just stop watching.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's all get Ship Canon, Like he's just fucking
<v Speaker 2>put in some honest work here.
<v Speaker 1>Bull By Cannon hits that axe kick. Yes, he did
<v Speaker 1>do that on the Big Show.
<v Speaker 2>It looked good. He got some hyke come on, like, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I know, I think it's cool. Yeah all right, all right,
<v Speaker 2>yeah oh yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So Big Show fights up and Rakeshi uses the steps
<v Speaker 1>on Bull by cannon on the outside.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's true. They both did it to each other.
<v Speaker 1>So Big Show hits a kick and then Rakeishi backs
<v Speaker 1>that ass up.
<v Speaker 2>Now, I don't know if you noticed here, Rakeshi is
<v Speaker 2>quite so yeah, Bull, Rakeshi a little a little somber,
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's you know in the post what Well,
<v Speaker 2>we don't know that yet, but that's I think that's
<v Speaker 2>what they probably told him. Hey you gotta maybe, which
<v Speaker 2>is funny. Ship. They said, hey, maybe you should be
<v Speaker 2>a little like something seems a little off with you,
<v Speaker 2>but you should still put your ass in his face
<v Speaker 2>and do the dance after no problem, got it, boss.
<v Speaker 1>He backs that ass up on Bull, and Bull is
<v Speaker 1>putting but his hands up like the sign from earlier.
<v Speaker 1>So Big Show, it's the show stopper on Bull, and uh,
<v Speaker 1>when's the.
<v Speaker 2>Like what I'm just reading as it lies, he does
<v Speaker 2>do the show stopper.
<v Speaker 1>That's true, Rakishi gives Big Show the Yellow Glasses to dance.
<v Speaker 1>The boss Man attacks them from behind with a night stick.
<v Speaker 1>No dancing.
<v Speaker 2>He clocks them both with a night stick. The crowd's
<v Speaker 2>not happy about this, and then all three guys starts
<v Speaker 2>stomping out Big Show and Rakishi. There will be no
<v Speaker 2>funhead here, especially with Bulby Cannon around. Damn dam d
<v Speaker 2>d d D.
<v Speaker 1>I mean that is I mean, look, you say that's
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we've talked about it, but that I still get
<v Speaker 2>no mercy PTSD.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean the acolytes music hits. You're getting your
<v Speaker 1>ass whopoped. I mean you just better be ready to
<v Speaker 1>get your ass whopped.
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's all.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. They come down here and they start kicking Bull
<v Speaker 1>Buchanan's ass and boss Man specifically buy cannon as boss
<v Speaker 1>Man got away. In the version, I was watching my head.
<v Speaker 2>That flicks.
<v Speaker 1>Well, Rakey, she gets up after the Acolytes make the save.
<v Speaker 1>Keep in mind that the Acolytes made the save here
<v Speaker 1>because Kurt Angle asked the Acolytes to help him beat
<v Speaker 1>up RAKEYI and Big Show. They said no, and Bull
<v Speaker 1>Buchanan and boss Man said sure, and then they got pissed,
<v Speaker 1>and they came out at taking my money. Well, rakey,
<v Speaker 1>she gets up with the glasses on and stops the
<v Speaker 1>Big Show from leaving the ring, and rakey, she grabs
<v Speaker 1>the glasses he gave to a Big show earlier and
<v Speaker 1>puts them on Big Show and the lights go out
<v Speaker 1>and Big Show starts working.
<v Speaker 2>Honey, I mean this is ridiculou. They both got could
<v Speaker 2>cussed with a night stick, and they still needed to
<v Speaker 2>get up and dance.
<v Speaker 1>It's only light in my life, buddy.
<v Speaker 2>We have to dance.
<v Speaker 1>If we don't dance, why did we come out here?
<v Speaker 2>Big Show is going for it too well.
<v Speaker 1>We go backstage, Triple H and Shane run into the
<v Speaker 1>men's room and attack a bald man and cameo pissing
<v Speaker 1>that is not stone cold?
<v Speaker 2>Like you what the fuck? Bald a cao just at
<v Speaker 2>the urinal taking a piss and Shane and Triple H
<v Speaker 2>just happened? Were they both going like did they get
<v Speaker 2>the iggy that a bald guy was pissing? Or like
<v Speaker 2>did they walk by and see, like how did they
<v Speaker 2>know to do this? Oh? I have no idea. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>they do it. They run in here and they attack
<v Speaker 2>this dude piss and cock all out. That sucks. Man
<v Speaker 2>piss everyone, and they kick his ass. They throw him
<v Speaker 2>in a stall and then Shane grips him up and
<v Speaker 2>he looks at him and he says, who the hell
<v Speaker 2>are you? And the guy says, I work here. I'm
<v Speaker 2>Dwayne Gill. Hey, you're fucking just incredible.
<v Speaker 1>Hell's gone here.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The guy says, I work here, and Shane is fluster.
<v Speaker 2>He says, you you're fired. You're fucking get the fuck
<v Speaker 2>out of here.
<v Speaker 1>Man, You're gone, Get out of here, and the guy
<v Speaker 1>cock out pussy runs out of the bathroom. So he
<v Speaker 1>gets attacked while working and gets fired.
<v Speaker 2>Because he looks like a stone code. That sucks. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's unfortunate. They could have like took care
<v Speaker 2>of him here. Instead they got rid of him. Well.
<v Speaker 1>The cash Oh yeah, all here tonight, we'll shut down
<v Speaker 1>the w W.
<v Speaker 2>You want to any to work like? Yeah, I think
<v Speaker 2>put that on your conscious, bitch.
<v Speaker 1>The cashtro GTX Slam of the Week The Hardy's Attack
<v Speaker 1>Crash and Matt Hardy wins the hardcore title.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's true. I mean they all Perry Saturn Taz
<v Speaker 2>are also there, and Jeff at the swanton him crash
<v Speaker 2>and Matt got the cover and he won the hardcore
<v Speaker 2>title here?
<v Speaker 1>Did you think it was weird that Bull Buchanan was
<v Speaker 1>not there? Does he not want to win the hardware title?
<v Speaker 2>Anytime that I am watching WWF, I'm wondering, where's Bull Buchanan.
<v Speaker 1>If he's not there, you should be questing.
<v Speaker 2>That's true? That is true. I mean he's got enough money. Okay, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he's a you know, a correct Yeah. Well we go back. Well,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that makes you a lot of money,
<v Speaker 2>but you know hot in two thousand. Yeah, that's true.
<v Speaker 2>Well we go backstage.
<v Speaker 1>Out Snow and Steve Blackman are here, and uh, Steve
<v Speaker 1>Blackman is pissed that Alf Snow is coming to the
<v Speaker 1>ring dressed up as like Easter bunnies and shit.
<v Speaker 2>And a pimp. Yea, Alice says, look, man, I don't
<v Speaker 2>bother me, but we can reconcile this. You were right,
<v Speaker 2>I was wrong. Let's do it your way and let's
<v Speaker 2>get back together. See Buggs is forget it, Like, no way,
<v Speaker 2>you come in the ring dressed like a pimp, got
<v Speaker 2>someone coming the ring and a bunny off it. I
<v Speaker 2>can't stand it. Anymore, you're a lunatic. And that says,
<v Speaker 2>all right, I agree, but I can be serious. I
<v Speaker 2>could be just as serious as you, and I think
<v Speaker 2>we could be a serious threat together. And Steve Blackman says,
<v Speaker 2>how do you expect me or anyone to take you
<v Speaker 2>seriously when you walk around talking to a damn head?
<v Speaker 2>Your pathetic? It's over and Steve Blackman leaves and Al
<v Speaker 2>Snow is left staring into the void. What can Al
<v Speaker 2>Snow be up to next? Where is? It's what's on
<v Speaker 2>al that's on Head's mind as well.
<v Speaker 1>So we have Jeff Hardy versus Matt Hardy hardcore title match.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, hardcore title online. They both do separate entrances, but
<v Speaker 2>they play the Hardy theme song through both of them,
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was cute. Yeah. I like that Matt
<v Speaker 2>comes out here with a trash can full of weapons.
<v Speaker 1>I love that he's more prepared for this match.
<v Speaker 2>Obviously Jeff didn't do anything with weapons at all.
<v Speaker 1>Don't blame him. Yeah, So Matt hands Jeff a cookie
<v Speaker 1>sheet and he drops it for some reason, and Matt
<v Speaker 1>takes a trash can lid.
<v Speaker 2>It hits him as hard as he can. He tried
<v Speaker 2>to make a fair but Jeff's Jeff didn't really understand
<v Speaker 2>the concept. I guess yeah.
<v Speaker 1>It just just fucking drops the weapon and Matt unleashes
<v Speaker 1>a trash.
<v Speaker 2>Can with it's so hard it gets He gets a
<v Speaker 2>two count on it.
<v Speaker 1>So Jeff throws Matt into a cookie sheet in the
<v Speaker 1>corner and then hits him with the trash can lid
<v Speaker 1>again for two. Jeff Hardy hits a leg drop with
<v Speaker 1>a broom between his legs for two.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, that was awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he got really high up there too.
<v Speaker 2>He I mean, this whole matches him, just getting as
<v Speaker 2>much height as possible on everything.
<v Speaker 1>So Perry Saturn comes down the ramp, Matt puts Jeff
<v Speaker 1>in a trash can, headfirst in a tree of woe,
<v Speaker 1>and then Drop kicks the trash can.
<v Speaker 2>Which I was like, Wow, that's pretty fucking cool until
<v Speaker 2>I saw what he does after.
<v Speaker 1>Matt then goes up and hits a moonsaw on Jeff
<v Speaker 1>who is in the trash can, and lands right on
<v Speaker 1>his head.
<v Speaker 2>It crushes this fucking trash can. I don't know, like,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the magic behind this. I can't see
<v Speaker 2>a world where that didn't hurt leg shit.
<v Speaker 1>Well, hardcore Holly is now out here.
<v Speaker 2>Great, this is all the stars.
<v Speaker 1>Matt and Jeff grab a ladder from each side of
<v Speaker 1>the ring and come into the ring. Jeff throws his
<v Speaker 1>ladder away, just doesn't get this match at all. It
<v Speaker 1>hits a dropkin to the ladder that Matt is holding.
<v Speaker 2>At least he was a little better prepared for the
<v Speaker 2>part where he drops the weapon. It's Taz. Taz comes
<v Speaker 2>down here. Uh. No Bull Buchanan, which was weird. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>he's fucking's not one. Well.
<v Speaker 1>Jeff sets the ladder in the corner sideways and then
<v Speaker 1>goes to the Jeff sets the ladder in the corner
<v Speaker 1>sideways and then goes to the top road and shines
<v Speaker 1>it up real nice, and then it hits the leg
<v Speaker 1>drop over the ladder for two.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, I mean, I love that. It's completely unnecessary. But
<v Speaker 2>the Heidi gets on it is very cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's dope. Looks awesome. Jeff climbs the ladder again, uh,
<v Speaker 1>and Matt climbs but gets punched down. Matt then thats
<v Speaker 1>a fire extinguisher and sprays it all over Jeff's face
<v Speaker 1>and then throws a trash can at him. And he
<v Speaker 1>bumps from the top to the ladder onto everyone on
<v Speaker 1>the outside.
<v Speaker 2>Throwing the trash can. Like I thought he was gonna
<v Speaker 2>tip the ladder. I guess we'd hadn't invented tipping the
<v Speaker 2>ladder tech yet, or at least maybe they just didn't
<v Speaker 2>want to do it. That he throws some fucking trash
<v Speaker 2>can at his head. So yeah, he lands on all
<v Speaker 2>the boys outside, which are Perry Saturn, Taz and Bob Holly.
<v Speaker 1>This is so important, huh No, right, Well, everyone's fighting
<v Speaker 1>out there now, and Matt Hardy jumps and pretty much
<v Speaker 1>misses everyone.
<v Speaker 2>I like he I mean, he was losing his balance
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's what happened because it was either
<v Speaker 2>he was gonna fall over the ring post or he
<v Speaker 2>had to jump, so he jumped and lightly brushed against
<v Speaker 2>Perry Saturn and instead at least he got Well, the
<v Speaker 2>rest of them look like it's smashed into the ramp.
<v Speaker 2>That sucks.
<v Speaker 1>Well, Matt goes to pin Jeff and Crash slips getting
<v Speaker 1>into the ring and almost doesn't break up the pin.
<v Speaker 2>The ref us is slow count because Crash has a
<v Speaker 2>trash can laid in his hand and he's struggling to
<v Speaker 2>get into the ring with it and know he's fucking
<v Speaker 2>fumbling and falling over himself until he just fucking throws
<v Speaker 2>it and braced well.
<v Speaker 1>Crash then hits Matt in the head with a trash
<v Speaker 1>can and pins him for a three and wins the
<v Speaker 1>hardcore title.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, more money for Crash. He's farming money, dude. He sprints,
<v Speaker 2>so he grabs the title and runs so fast up
<v Speaker 2>the ramp to get away from everybody. I mean, like,
<v Speaker 2>what a what a great gimmick.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean really, he's really good at all this.
<v Speaker 2>Too, So that's fucking fantastic. And like him being Hardcoreally's cousin.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this all worked out tremendously.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, having the serious guy with Crash, all this was
<v Speaker 1>well thought out. I'm sure it wasn't. It just turned
<v Speaker 1>out great, But it just.
<v Speaker 2>It had to have been week to week and they
<v Speaker 2>just got lucky.
<v Speaker 1>But it was good, a good deal.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, me too.
<v Speaker 1>We go backstage, Vince is talking to everybody, uh, and
<v Speaker 1>a guy walks up and says he has a special delivery.
<v Speaker 2>Mm st Jones.
<v Speaker 1>No, I think that's bull Buchanon.
<v Speaker 2>This was just another stone cold that. Actually, yeah, he
<v Speaker 2>had a good tea.
<v Speaker 1>This was just a super popular look by the way
<v Speaker 1>for the two thousands.
<v Speaker 2>Because the stone Cold for the TV guides him and Goldberg.
<v Speaker 2>So Vin says, yeah, I just want anybody getting spooked,
<v Speaker 2>and Trible he says, nobody's getting spooked, and Vince says,
<v Speaker 2>don't tell me how I get spooked, and Trilly says,
<v Speaker 2>I'm hot. And someone walks up and he says, sir,

<v Speaker 2>And then we find out they are all fucking flipping
<v Speaker 2>out because he did this, because there's a big ass
<v Speaker 2>rattlesnake crawling around on the couch. Yeah, that was funny.
<v Speaker 2>I like that. I mean, it's again all callbacks the
<v Speaker 2>shit he's done to really, all these people before. Uh,
<v Speaker 2>that was fucking You should have just started. You should
<v Speaker 2>have grabbed choking it out crazy, just wrangle it. This
<v Speaker 2>ain't so bad, guys, What did you do? The macho man,
<v Speaker 2>you should have fired the snake. You fired.
<v Speaker 1>Well. The w WF Smack of the Night presented by
<v Speaker 1>Milk got milk gulping down.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I mean milk is good. Milk is good.
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's the Rock and Vent segment from earlier.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a Smack of the night. No matches, had
<v Speaker 2>a smack had no smacks worth the ship. Get your milk, milk, milk, lemonade.
<v Speaker 1>We're on the quarner.
<v Speaker 2>Fudge is made.
<v Speaker 1>Well, now it's time for the makemon Helmsley Regimes.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and it says down the fly, Wow, that's fucking crazy.
<v Speaker 2>Good job. Yeah, So McMahon Helmsley Regime town Hall here,
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna settle some things. So Cole, they come out
<v Speaker 2>to the ring and Cole says, I don't know why
<v Speaker 2>they're on their way out here. Well, Cole, what the
<v Speaker 2>fuck else was scheduled for this time? There's no more
<v Speaker 2>matches unless you're telling me they did this. And then
<v Speaker 2>the show went off the air and there was supposed
<v Speaker 2>to be more matches.
<v Speaker 1>Because yeah, I don't know, there's a ton more matches.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, goddamn, they got Kevin Nash versus Goldbird
<v Speaker 1>coming up.
<v Speaker 2>Here in a minute. I just can't see them. Sure, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's what they advertised on local commercials. So they get
<v Speaker 2>all get in the ring with mcmahelmsy regime, and she says,
<v Speaker 2>let me get right down to this. I'm sick and
<v Speaker 2>tired of all these games. Austin. If this is you,
<v Speaker 2>I'm tired of this Austin three sixteen. So if McMahon
<v Speaker 2>three sixteen says, if you are here, why don't you
<v Speaker 2>come down to this ring and we'll welcome you back
<v Speaker 2>to the WWF right now, that catchphrase probably wouldn't catch
<v Speaker 2>on as much as too many words, too many words
<v Speaker 2>on it. And they all went around walking around the ring, pacing,
<v Speaker 2>and nothing's happening, and Triple A starts to laugh and says,
<v Speaker 2>you know what, Vince, he's either not here or Steve
<v Speaker 2>Austin is a chicken shit, And Michael Cole says, I
<v Speaker 2>can guaran damn t Yeah he ain't that shut up
<v Speaker 2>bitch Jackson. So Triple A says, that's what I thought.
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what though, after all that, he's not
<v Speaker 2>gonna spoil this little party because I know somebody that
<v Speaker 2>is here. Rack. Now you're back in the building Rack,
<v Speaker 2>and I'll tell you what I know. I told you
<v Speaker 2>to take the night off, and I told you I
<v Speaker 2>was tired of you, but I changed my damn mind.
<v Speaker 2>Triple H at the end of the show is saying,
<v Speaker 2>you can't have the night off anymore if you're smell.
<v Speaker 2>The Rock is here and Rock comes out and Triple
<v Speaker 2>H is fucking goating him out, and he fucker says,
<v Speaker 2>come on, Rock, we don't have to wait till Sunday.
<v Speaker 2>And then the Rock g's up and does the talk
<v Speaker 2>to the handspot, which I believes as a gift forever.
<v Speaker 2>Could not believe it. I was like, Wow, that's fucking crazy,
<v Speaker 2>that that's what that from.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would have never guessed it, No, of course.
<v Speaker 2>I would have. I mean like, I don't even know
<v Speaker 2>how I would have guessed what it was, but I
<v Speaker 2>would have thought it was this. So Rocks, as the
<v Speaker 2>Rock promised that Stone Cold was gonna be here tonight.
<v Speaker 2>The Rock is a man and a half living up
<v Speaker 2>to his word. And then he points to the ovaltron
<v Speaker 2>and then austin very close zooming of the side of
<v Speaker 2>his face shows up here and the crowd goes fucking
<v Speaker 2>balizz Yeah, they lose their fucking mind.
<v Speaker 1>He's not even any area.
<v Speaker 2>It's just enough that they're getting a piece of stone
<v Speaker 2>cold themselves, that that's the that's enough for them to
<v Speaker 2>lose their minds. And they do. And Austin's super zoomed
<v Speaker 2>and he looks at the camera. He says, I understand you.
<v Speaker 2>Jack Ashes had been looking for me. Hell I'm in
<v Speaker 2>the parking lot. I've been in it out all night long.
<v Speaker 1>Could have been little earlier. I was listening to my
<v Speaker 1>boom box. You broke to something, drinking a bunch of beers.
<v Speaker 1>Boom box, take it up, playing with my snake in
<v Speaker 1>the couch room.
<v Speaker 2>But Austin says, there seems to be some concern as
<v Speaker 2>to whose side Ston't GOA Steve Alston is gonna be
<v Speaker 2>on this Sunday and backlash is stn't go Steve Wawsh're
<v Speaker 2>gonna favorite Triple H or Stoke go Steve wols are
<v Speaker 2>gonna be on the side of the rock. That's an
<v Speaker 2>easy one for Ston't go to answer. And the answer
<v Speaker 2>that is, I'm gonna be on the side I've always
<v Speaker 2>been on and that's mine. And what I got right
<v Speaker 2>now is a little demonstration for you to any of
<v Speaker 2>you grubby bastards that think they're gonna get their hands
<v Speaker 2>on Ston't goll Steve Auston. You see, there's a lot
<v Speaker 2>of people out there that are good at construction, good
<v Speaker 2>at building things with their hands. Hell, what he's.
<v Speaker 1>Talking about, fucking Steve Hell, shut.
<v Speaker 2>Out all the blue collar workers. Dude, a pretty good
<v Speaker 2>dump just got my house builders. Hell, seems the only
<v Speaker 2>thing I've ever been good at is tearing shit up. Basically,
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying is I'm good at deconstruction, right, Yeah, no,
<v Speaker 2>we got that? Got it? So Austin walks over. He's
<v Speaker 2>standing on Was this a crane?
<v Speaker 1>I guess, Oh yeah, I'm not sure what you would
<v Speaker 1>call this?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a crane, I guess I'll go with And he
<v Speaker 2>walks over and he's standing on it, and he says,
<v Speaker 2>so what we got here is my own little toy,
<v Speaker 2>and don't go. Steve Austin has a little example of
<v Speaker 2>what might happen if anyone gets there. Grubby little meat
<v Speaker 2>hooks on me. He's tuck grubby bastards and grubby little meats.
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna kill you with a crane.
<v Speaker 2>So he pulls a tape off of the side of
<v Speaker 2>this crane and it says Austin deconstruction. Just in case
<v Speaker 2>you didn't understand that he has his own business. Now,
<v Speaker 2>I guess where he fucking destroys shit. Nice. So Austin
<v Speaker 2>gets inside of the thing and there's a dash can
<v Speaker 2>in here, and Austin revs it up and he says, oh,
<v Speaker 2>I like what I hear? And he okay, maybe you can.
<v Speaker 1>Tell her he's got that Cummins engine.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you can tell me what does he drop on
<v Speaker 2>this bus?
<v Speaker 1>It was a concrete barricade.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's what I thought it was. Uh, And that's
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming what it is, because he drops this concrete
<v Speaker 2>barricade on top of the DX Express bus and you
<v Speaker 2>would assume it was like fucking covered in dynamite sticks,
<v Speaker 2>because this bus explodes like a fucking legit bomb went off.
<v Speaker 2>It explodes the shit, and Austin like, holy fuck, this
<v Speaker 2>is the craziest thing I've ever seen. And Austin says,
<v Speaker 2>to anybody that tries to master Stone Golden Shandia backlash
<v Speaker 2>and that's the bottom of cult send. So didn't even
<v Speaker 2>train of thought was fucked up. They the last thing
<v Speaker 2>you see on the show is the DX Express. Like
<v Speaker 2>the surveying of the scene, this thing is on super fire, Like, Oh,
<v Speaker 2>did this happen? Did he rig this with dynamite?
<v Speaker 1>No, this is just what happens when bus get hit
<v Speaker 1>with fucking concrete barricades.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it quite a few times in my life, so.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I just yeah, North Carolina has a lot of
<v Speaker 2>big bus incidents. Yeah, yeah, which, and I understand flames.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it doesn't happen too much outside of here, but
<v Speaker 1>the top down, Yeah, that's why I live in Raleigh.
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't happen to bust over here.
<v Speaker 2>Well, we gotta be careful when we got to Charlotte
<v Speaker 2>on ooctover nineteenth, because I don't want to see any
<v Speaker 2>bus mishaps where the top of the bus is the
<v Speaker 2>point that you can just drop something on it. It
<v Speaker 2>blows the shit to smithereens shit, I mean, we might
<v Speaker 2>have to have someone hit the bus with a tape
<v Speaker 2>fist or an ankle lock or something. Oh hell on,
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, dude, I mean this is I remember this vividly.
<v Speaker 2>I remember him blowing this fucking bust of vividly. It's
<v Speaker 2>also in the video game. Is it Smack Down two
<v Speaker 2>or just bring it. I think it might be one
<v Speaker 2>of the early SmackDown games that there's a cut scene
<v Speaker 2>where Austin drops a bomb on the d X Express. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this shit's awesome. The way it blows up
<v Speaker 1>as cool as fuck.
<v Speaker 2>It's fucking gnarly. Yeah, I love it, crazy visual. I
<v Speaker 2>mean it's fun that even in two thousand, like you know,
<v Speaker 2>Austin's obviously coming back from injury, like you know, it's
<v Speaker 2>winding down here, but the fact that they still are like, hey,
<v Speaker 2>we stone Cold's got a fuck some shit up still
<v Speaker 2>like sit up and the answer is always yes, like
<v Speaker 2>of course he's got a fucking blowsome shit up. Uh yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I very fucking fun. They didn't, I don't like, did
<v Speaker 2>they even showed dx's reaction to this. I don't even remember. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Yeah, it's fucking blow this bus to ship.
<v Speaker 2>They legit only made this bus exist so this could happen,
<v Speaker 2>which is also great. But that is it for a
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown for April twenty seventh, two thousand and that is
<v Speaker 2>it for our show. Thank you for joining. Yes, everybody,
