<v Speaker 1>draft episode, which you all might also know as the
<v Speaker 1>Vince mcman appreciation episode, also the episode where Vince McMann
<v Speaker 1>gets in a car and blows up and dies. So
<v Speaker 1>that is all on the patrearon that's patreon dot com
<v Speaker 1>slash deadlockpwn. Now let's get into some retro wrestler.
<v Speaker 2>All right, let us get into WWF SmackDown for August ninth,
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and one.
<v Speaker 1>It's been a minute since we actually covered this kind
<v Speaker 1>of area of WWF. I feel like we haven't done
<v Speaker 1>a WWFO one in like a year. We have covered
<v Speaker 1>the SmackDown that happens just after this, by the way,
<v Speaker 1>So this one that we're watching here is the final
<v Speaker 1>Ovaltron quote unquote as you may know it as SmackDown,
<v Speaker 1>and we'll see why that is here and how they
<v Speaker 1>explained why this goes away. But the one we cover
<v Speaker 1>the week after this is the first you know, SmackDown
<v Speaker 1>fist era one, so just a week before that. But
<v Speaker 1>that review was like five years ago.
<v Speaker 2>Entirely different lifetime ago. I was excited to get into
<v Speaker 2>this one though.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, me too. I mean, you know, it's a
<v Speaker 1>an invasion alliance Austin and the such. You know, see
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. All the stars are here, dude, I
<v Speaker 1>mean they you know, how did this fail? How did
<v Speaker 1>this fail? I don't know. But before we get into
<v Speaker 1>this SmackDown, let's talk about what was going on in
<v Speaker 1>the World Wrestling at the time with the Wrestling Observer newsletter. Now,
<v Speaker 1>of course, as I mentioned in the previous you know,
<v Speaker 1>five years ago. We probably talked about some of this
<v Speaker 1>in the Observer before. But for those of you that
<v Speaker 1>just joined us or want to refresher, there's a couple
<v Speaker 1>of things here we're going to go over from The Observer.
<v Speaker 1>August six, two thousand and one, the actual purchase price
<v Speaker 1>of World Championship Wrestling from Time Warner was two point
<v Speaker 1>five million dollars. According to the figures released this week
<v Speaker 1>by WFE and its annual Securities and Exchange Commission filing,
<v Speaker 1>the WWF actually spent less money on buying their rivals
<v Speaker 1>than the two point nine million dollars it spent on
<v Speaker 1>an nhr A race car, or the money it's spent
<v Speaker 1>annually just for the travel of the inner circle to
<v Speaker 1>and from television tapings in the private jet. The WWFS
<v Speaker 1>purchase you'll also include a three year undisclosed amounts contract
<v Speaker 1>that the company must purchase a minimum amount of advertising
<v Speaker 1>on AOL Time Warner owned media companies. Yeah. So, I
<v Speaker 1>mean the fact that, you know, obviously things. You know,
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there's other amounts that were thrown in here
<v Speaker 1>there or the other, But I mean, two point five
<v Speaker 1>million sounds insanely low. Obviously, race badass. You know, that's
<v Speaker 1>a good question, Horace car It had to be. It
<v Speaker 1>seems like this is like a yearly thing they were doing.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's cool.
<v Speaker 1>Some of these are kind of kick ass, dude. Check
<v Speaker 1>this out.
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, this is like crush hour dude.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, here's like a picture of the rock. Okay, so sorry,
<v Speaker 1>I know we're audio podcast ones are like a stone
<v Speaker 1>cold one still clones on the hood on the side
<v Speaker 1>that says want to raise some hell. Then there's a
<v Speaker 1>gold rock one. Dude does a cane one.
<v Speaker 2>Nice. Wow.
<v Speaker 1>Oh these are kind of cool, you know what, man,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this might be way better than buying WCW
<v Speaker 1>now that I look at it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would let WCW live and then buy another
<v Speaker 2>race car, maybe for the big show.
<v Speaker 1>There's an undertaker. One's a triple h one.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, they uh sean STACYAC racecar meat car.
<v Speaker 1>Well. Speaking of ECW, by the way, has noted here
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago, Meltzer says an Odious Inc. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly. A division of
<v Speaker 1>acclaim officially filed on seven to twenty six an attempt
<v Speaker 1>to take over all ECW assets based on a nineteen
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine deal between the company and Paul Hayman. In
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety nine two thousand and Odious Inc. Keptw afloat
<v Speaker 1>when it's financial situation was precarious, with a series of
<v Speaker 1>loans that ended up totaling one point five million dollars,
<v Speaker 1>which in exchange, gave the company fifteen percent ownership in ECW,
<v Speaker 1>more than whatever is left of ECW is currently worth.
<v Speaker 1>The contract game of claim a security interest in ECW,
<v Speaker 1>which an Odious Inc. Is claiming as a secured creditor
<v Speaker 1>with the loans not having been repaid, gives them the
<v Speaker 1>legal right to foreclose on ECW. In doing so, a
<v Speaker 1>claim would garner control of the remaining company assets, which
<v Speaker 1>would include whatever pay per view revenue is still owed
<v Speaker 1>by in demand, as well as the trademarks which have
<v Speaker 1>suddenly become far more valuable due to the WWF angle,
<v Speaker 1>as well as the videotape library. And there's a little
<v Speaker 1>more as we get into this next one about a
<v Speaker 1>claim in ECW. But we've kind of talked back and
<v Speaker 1>forth about, you know, throughout retros of a claims of
<v Speaker 1>alvement in the ECW stuff. And there's a part here
<v Speaker 1>in this next one that's pretty crazy in terms of
<v Speaker 1>how much the game sold. I don't do you have
<v Speaker 1>a just before we I look, you know, talk further
<v Speaker 1>about it. How much do you think they made on
<v Speaker 1>the ECW game?
<v Speaker 2>How much money?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>Mmm, well I'm gonna imagine they made about seven million dollars.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's fucking actually not a bad shot at all.
<v Speaker 1>This was so we're talking about hardcore revolution. By the way,
<v Speaker 1>from The Observer, August thirteenth, two thousand and one in
<v Speaker 1>WF News. The Invasion pay per view on seven twenty
<v Speaker 1>two in Cleveland, based on preliminary reports, looks to have
<v Speaker 1>done a one point six By rates, it would be
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred and fifty thousand buys with making it if
<v Speaker 1>these numbers hold up the fourth most purchased pro wrestling
<v Speaker 1>pay per view in history, trailing only the past three WrestleManias.
<v Speaker 1>W fucking crazy.
<v Speaker 2>That's cool, that's I mean, I hope it doesn't well
<v Speaker 2>that well.
<v Speaker 1>That just because the show dude like people were definitely
<v Speaker 1>fired up for the invasion and thought, like, you know,
<v Speaker 1>Goldberged's thing, We're gonna descend from the rafters together for
<v Speaker 1>this show, right, there had to be some which was
<v Speaker 1>very reasonable. I would have thought that. In fact, I
<v Speaker 1>was hoping myself.
<v Speaker 2>Oh shit, it's Bilvis Wesley, Chili Willy.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah. So the plans at this point, and there's
<v Speaker 1>no times table again, seem to be at least by
<v Speaker 1>February that wfe's wrestling operations will be divided into two
<v Speaker 1>separate companies, each with primetime weekly television and each doing
<v Speaker 1>monthly paper events and separate house show tours. It seems
<v Speaker 1>there was always, even you know, going back to here,
<v Speaker 1>an idea to do a split, you know, not necessarily
<v Speaker 1>what it ends up being like Rolling SmackDown split, but
<v Speaker 1>a company split where they do fucking separate stuff, which
<v Speaker 1>as a fan, I will say, super exciting. I thought
<v Speaker 1>the draft shit was the coolest shit ever. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they expected all the WCW fans to
<v Speaker 2>turn three sixty and walk away whatever.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they could do whatever they want. Really, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>really walks through that some bitch, dude, No, there was
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean, how could you write this invasion paper?
<v Speaker 1>You just did Gangbusters? Like that's a test thing. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know why I just said gang Busters. I've never rocket. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's the mixture of the two. This favory did gang Bangers,
<v Speaker 1>and like, fucking why would you think that this would
<v Speaker 1>not be a huge success. Back to ECW News here.
<v Speaker 1>James at ECB News at the time, and Odius loaned
<v Speaker 1>the money in nineteen ninety nine. This is just more
<v Speaker 1>acclaim info here. At about the time, ECW was starting
<v Speaker 1>on TNN, which at the time seemed like a potential
<v Speaker 1>turnaround for the company's popularity and visibility, even with nothing
<v Speaker 1>of the sort actually materialized. The company was three point
<v Speaker 1>one seven to two million dollars in debt, yes, three
<v Speaker 1>point one million dollars in debt and on the verge
<v Speaker 1>of folding. The loans in question given by a company
<v Speaker 1>that had just purchased fifteen percent of a company stock
<v Speaker 1>for one point five million dollars would be considered funding
<v Speaker 1>to keep the company alive at various points when they
<v Speaker 1>needed payback of previous debts, to keep from going under,
<v Speaker 1>or to make payroll. During the fiscal year ending on
<v Speaker 1>August thirty first, two thousand, the e B Hardcore Revolution
<v Speaker 1>game grossed for ACCLAIM approximately seventeen million dollars, which explains
<v Speaker 1>why the company would want to keep ECB alive. By contract,
<v Speaker 1>ECW should have received at least four hundred and twenty
<v Speaker 1>five thousand in royalties, which was never paid, likely because
<v Speaker 1>they held it based on the money owed back from
<v Speaker 1>those loans or money advanced, which explains why Hayman's estimation
<v Speaker 1>of the money owned to Annotius was one million instead
<v Speaker 1>of one point five to five million as the company
<v Speaker 1>had claimed. So Hardcore Revolution made seventeen million gross.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would imagine that games back then probably didn't
<v Speaker 2>cost as much money as they do today to make,
<v Speaker 2>so not to make finding a hot license and then
<v Speaker 2>just slapping it on a game. I don't know how
<v Speaker 2>many games I remember from when I was growing up,
<v Speaker 2>where it was just like every one of these games
<v Speaker 2>is the exact same game, but it's just.
<v Speaker 1>A diff and ip, and I was cool with that.
<v Speaker 1>It was how it was, Yeah, right, like that's what
<v Speaker 1>else was I gonna get? And game prices were pretty
<v Speaker 1>much the same as they are now. I mean, obviously
<v Speaker 1>there's you know, deluxe editions and stuff that make stuff
<v Speaker 1>much more. But I was going through some magazines the
<v Speaker 1>other day that I had got, and like I was
<v Speaker 1>even looking at WWF war Zone for example, on N
<v Speaker 1>sixty four was like sixty bucks, and the I think
<v Speaker 1>the PlayStation version was like forty five or forty nine,
<v Speaker 1>ninety five or something like that. I think all the
<v Speaker 1>PlayStation ones were always cheaper than N sixty four, I'm
<v Speaker 1>assuming just because the disc and jewel case were less
<v Speaker 1>expensive than big box and cartridge.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, with inflation, I guess that would change
<v Speaker 2>quite a bit. Oh sure, yeah that also. I mean
<v Speaker 2>Nintendo games right now are like eighty dollars.
<v Speaker 1>I think, oh fuck, you're right, good lord, that's true. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I mean the so continuing here, however, on April sixteenth,
<v Speaker 1>long before w BAFF revived the name ECW on seventy nine,
<v Speaker 1>WBF made its first offer to purchase intellectual property as
<v Speaker 1>well as company business records, assets and even the existing
<v Speaker 1>talent records or contracts. Excuse me, they would want to
<v Speaker 1>take over, similar to what they had done in the
<v Speaker 1>deal for ww weeks earlier. Since this attempt to purchase
<v Speaker 1>included trademarks and making that offer, they seem to be
<v Speaker 1>contradicting their current position. WWFE has explained this by saying
<v Speaker 1>they made the initial offer for those things they believed
<v Speaker 1>that bandoned simply to avoid possible litigation and as part
<v Speaker 1>of doing practical business. The WF claiming its offer was
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred and thirty seven thousand, five hundred dollars, although
<v Speaker 1>it would actually only pay one hundred and fifty thousand
<v Speaker 1>dollars for them, with the remainder of what it claimed
<v Speaker 1>it was paying being composed of giving up its five
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty seven thousand, five hundred dollars debt for
<v Speaker 1>its own loans to HHG. The WWF made a second,
<v Speaker 1>similar offer of one hundred fifty thousand dollars on June
<v Speaker 1>twenty six, two weeks before shooting the angle to revive
<v Speaker 1>ECW's name in Atlanta, before making a third offer of
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A notdy has claimed
<v Speaker 1>on eight to seven the property was worth more than
<v Speaker 1>what the WBF had offered and a better deal could
<v Speaker 1>be had elsewhere, So they're using easyw shit on TV
<v Speaker 1>on this episode and they don't own it. Last few
<v Speaker 1>things here in WWE news. There was almost a huge
<v Speaker 1>news story at the WWF House show in San Diego
<v Speaker 1>on August fifth, Bill and Steve Goldberg were given front
<v Speaker 1>row tickets, and they and many of their friends argued
<v Speaker 1>very spiritly about whether or not they should go. A
<v Speaker 1>lot of them wanted him to go because it would
<v Speaker 1>be such a scene, figuring huge Goldberg chants and people
<v Speaker 1>expecting confrontation even if he just sat there as a
<v Speaker 1>fan and did nothing. Others who won the argument realize
<v Speaker 1>there's no point in pissing off the WBF, as whether
<v Speaker 1>by design or not, the possibility of upstaging the show
<v Speaker 1>would do so, since ultimately the day will come when
<v Speaker 1>he at least seriously negotiates to work with them one.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Goldberg starting a ruckus at a WWF House
<v Speaker 1>show in two thousand and one sounds very funny, too.
<v Speaker 1>Very excited at the news that there is a Steve.
<v Speaker 2>Goldberg, Yes, Steve Goldberg.
<v Speaker 1>What's his deal? Is that heir?
<v Speaker 2>That his brother?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I think so nice? Maybe it jump the rail
<v Speaker 1>and spear meet. Jim Ross met with Ray Massiro Junior,
<v Speaker 1>and Meltzer says I believe Hove intued Guerrera the better
<v Speaker 1>of the two. On August eighth, before backdown in Los Angeles,
<v Speaker 1>they contacted Massio Junior, which means he'll likely to be
<v Speaker 1>offered a deal after his Time Warner contract expires. Nobody
<v Speaker 1>denies Gerrera's talent, but the drug issue from Australia may
<v Speaker 1>still have be a roadblock, combined with the fact WWF
<v Speaker 1>really isn't looking at hiring new people as a general rule,
<v Speaker 1>and from the Observer August twentieth, two thousand and one,
<v Speaker 1>Misterio met with Jim Ross and John Louronidis on that
<v Speaker 1>was almost Uncle on August seventh. At this backdown show
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles, Hoove and Tude came with him, but
<v Speaker 1>he did not have a meeting scheduled. Neither were offered contracts.
<v Speaker 1>Massial Junior who called the WF to set up the meetings,
<v Speaker 1>since his Time Warner contract at about three hundred and
<v Speaker 1>fifty thousand dollars per year expires on December thirty. First
<v Speaker 1>was told to keep his Time Warner deal and keep
<v Speaker 1>in shape by wrestling indies, and that in January, which
<v Speaker 1>is when his contract expires, there was a chance they
<v Speaker 1>would bring him in. He was told, they have too
<v Speaker 1>much talent, and we aren't looking at tiring new people
<v Speaker 1>right now because I have so many newcomers they have
<v Speaker 1>to work getting over. So there was at least some
<v Speaker 1>talks here, you know, with with Ray at the start
<v Speaker 1>here just damn like I mean, and it probably is better,
<v Speaker 1>like he comes in at a sweet time. That probably
<v Speaker 1>worked way better for him than coming in right now
<v Speaker 1>and probably getting just beat up by Bradshaw. Like but
<v Speaker 1>still Ray is kick ass. I'm surprised he wasn't like
<v Speaker 1>one of the first guys they were like, oh fuck,
<v Speaker 1>we need this guy. We can make money with this guy.
<v Speaker 2>Hoo.
<v Speaker 1>He makes it too hoovey eventually makes it yeah, like
<v Speaker 1>he once he come in like five oh six.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was gonna say probably four, but five you're
<v Speaker 2>probably right there.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, there was a part here I actually
<v Speaker 1>did miss here Guerrera, who basically came along for the
<v Speaker 1>ride spoke with j R. A catering and asked for
<v Speaker 1>a job which wouldn't exactly qualify as adhering to proper protocol,
<v Speaker 1>and Ross praised him and told him to keep in
<v Speaker 1>contact in January and at that point they wouldn't have
<v Speaker 1>a more lengthy.
<v Speaker 2>Also, sorry about the Rock Ferry and you that one time.
<v Speaker 1>He should apologize for the Rock Sea on his gimmick
<v Speaker 1>more than.
<v Speaker 2>Very right who met with the rock? He said, what
<v Speaker 2>the fuck is wrong with you?
<v Speaker 1>Well, that is it for the Observer. Now let's talk
<v Speaker 1>about WF SmackDown August ninth, two thousand and one.
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get into w WF SmackDown for two
<v Speaker 2>thousand and one. There it is the intro.
<v Speaker 1>Good to do it? I just you know, it's been
<v Speaker 1>six hundred episodes or whatever, but like I hear it
<v Speaker 1>and something goes in my brain that I got to do. Wait.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it says, don't know what it means,
<v Speaker 1>but you know the dude.
<v Speaker 2>Like gets up in Charlie's face on uh, smiling friends
<v Speaker 2>with the hands, That's what the intro is. He watches them. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>so we get a cold open here for SmackDown. Steve
<v Speaker 2>Austin is here to make a pep talk to the alliance. Uh,
<v Speaker 2>these were always great.
<v Speaker 1>And the only way he could do so is standing
<v Speaker 1>on top of a table in the middle of the room,
<v Speaker 1>which you know, that's he can only assert power that way,
<v Speaker 1>of course. And all the stars are here, like Hugh Morris,
<v Speaker 1>Canyon DDP, Taz is here, which Taz is like he
<v Speaker 1>should be getting his commentary notes ready, Like commentary is
<v Speaker 1>a hard fucking deal here, man. You can't just walk
<v Speaker 1>up and start talking into a microphone.
<v Speaker 2>He was in the Jake and Speedball outfit.
<v Speaker 1>Holy shit, he was. He would get really mad if
<v Speaker 1>you said that, why just his thing?
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so, dude. I think that was Jacob's speedballs.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you can take it up with Jake something in
<v Speaker 1>his face. You can take it up with Speedball on
<v Speaker 1>a vlog, Dude, Speedball. I'm not fucking with either of
<v Speaker 1>those guys for real though, No fucking way. So Austin's
<v Speaker 1>on top of this table, He's got the WBF title,
<v Speaker 1>He's got his Jeene shorts standing on the table.
<v Speaker 2>He was staying on the table and Steve Austin walked
<v Speaker 2>in and told him to get his JABRONI ass off
<v Speaker 2>that table.
<v Speaker 1>Get my bags. Wait, it was just incredible there for real.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Justin Credible was in the room.
<v Speaker 1>I did not see that you might be making that
<v Speaker 1>ship up.
<v Speaker 2>Oh maybe, yeah, I was for sure.
<v Speaker 1>He was a huge part of the invasion for you.
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, what was he doing? Where was he at
<v Speaker 2>on this show?
<v Speaker 1>I don't know? What the fuck would I know? Why
<v Speaker 1>would anyone know?

<v Speaker 2>They're not asking you must be waiting around for the
<v Speaker 2>nw A to make their debut on this show so they.
<v Speaker 1>Can bring their bags in.
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's you know, it's something.
<v Speaker 1>Austin was. I mean, Austin won't allow a guy wearing
<v Speaker 1>jean shorts and bald in the same room as them.
<v Speaker 1>He's just not letting it happen.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that is his look.
<v Speaker 1>One to won his look.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, the real star didn't get signed and
<v Speaker 2>that was all politics and play. That's why Hogan wasn't here.
<v Speaker 1>He's in HWA or whatever.

<v Speaker 1>in recent memories was was beating Matt Hardy and I
<v Speaker 1>stunned his little girlfriend Lida. Why because I wanted to
<v Speaker 1>Why because I think she's weak? Why because I think
<v Speaker 1>she's drashed? Why because I stunned her for each and
<v Speaker 1>every one of you guys like you Tommy Dreemer, and
<v Speaker 1>I stunned her for Bubba Ray. I stunned her for
<v Speaker 1>Lance Storm. I stunned her for Landstorms, shitty partner?
<v Speaker 2>Where the hell is Prince Aya Ko?
<v Speaker 3>He was supposed to be here? Where the Hell's Bride knobs?
<v Speaker 3>I watched w C w C Bride Knops.
<v Speaker 2>Why not here? Water Hell's Bray Mastereo Jr.
<v Speaker 1>I was walking through catering and I saw Hoovey Where
<v Speaker 1>Here's movie?
<v Speaker 3>I saw a movie talking dude, you gut it?
<v Speaker 2>Stan all A Tably does the kenne Omegata and the City.
<v Speaker 2>You wouldn't be working here if I had to sell
<v Speaker 2>you in it? Waw because I think you're trash. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>because I think you're wee why.
<v Speaker 1>Because you absolutely suck ken.
<v Speaker 2>I love this. I think that heal Steve Austin is awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, Okay, like I mean, as a fucking fan, I
<v Speaker 1>don't give a shit about this tank in Wrestling Forever
<v Speaker 1>or whatever you may think. I thought Austin as a
<v Speaker 1>heel is awesome. Like this guy is fucking out of
<v Speaker 1>his mind.
<v Speaker 2>You know, I wrote something very similar. I don't know
<v Speaker 2>where I wrote it down in these notes here, but
<v Speaker 2>I show the same sentiment as you. That's that's sort
<v Speaker 2>of where I fall into.
<v Speaker 1>So Austin talks about you know, he's he's got a
<v Speaker 1>wrestle kurt angle at the pay per view and he says,
<v Speaker 1>what am I gonna do? We Oh? I guess he
<v Speaker 1>was doing one here because he drops some once here.
<v Speaker 1>What what You're damn right? I'm gonna whoop his ass
<v Speaker 1>and tonight the WMF is coming for everybody in here.
<v Speaker 2>Do you understand me?
<v Speaker 1>They'll bring it down our neck, watch each other's back,
<v Speaker 1>fly your colors, go out tonight and open up again.
<v Speaker 1>A whoop, bash stoke gold Steve Austin style. Are you
<v Speaker 1>with me? Yeah? Oh? I like that. Yeah, that's a
<v Speaker 1>good one. Yeah, they go whop somebody's ass and they
<v Speaker 1>all get fired up and that sets up our show here.
<v Speaker 2>You know, my favorite part of this whole deal here
<v Speaker 2>was that was Deborah doing the ad libs.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, she like they wouldn't get fired up because they're
<v Speaker 1>afraid of Austin, and Deborah would slim the table and
<v Speaker 1>go the alliance. Fuck.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know I stunned Matt Hardy center the ring,
<v Speaker 3>Center the Ring.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I loved that. I thought that was great.
<v Speaker 1>That was pretty good. Debyone was fucking awesome into her
<v Speaker 1>role here. Actually, like this period here, like from the
<v Speaker 1>Wrestling the seventeen stuff, that's probably when she really starts
<v Speaker 1>doing stuff with Austin, right like on TV's the Wrestling
<v Speaker 1>in seventeen stuff, the Rock and then into the Invasion
<v Speaker 1>where she's got the cookies.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she has a bunch of memorable stuff. Yeah. I
<v Speaker 2>thought she was great in her role here. And yeah,
<v Speaker 2>like like we mentioned, I mean this whole He'll run here,
<v Speaker 2>there's so much like there's so much nuance to the
<v Speaker 2>stuff he's doing and even his entering work that we'll
<v Speaker 2>talk about later on tonight. Yeah, man, just sweet.
<v Speaker 1>Super smart stuff too, Like, m it's kind of we'll
<v Speaker 1>talk about in the main event, especially, like the main
<v Speaker 1>event of the show is super Austin being just a shitter,
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, this is he's he's chicken shit, but he's
<v Speaker 1>also like there's methodical fucking pace to what he's doing
<v Speaker 1>and like, yeah, like I don't know, I really like
<v Speaker 1>what he does on the show.
<v Speaker 2>So we get the SmackDown intro. This is the everybody
<v Speaker 2>on the ground one dude.
<v Speaker 1>I uh so this collection the clips that they use
<v Speaker 1>here for this intro felt foreign to me. It must
<v Speaker 1>be maybe they were changing them near the end and
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't catch it as much. Maybe this version
<v Speaker 1>didn't make it into the game. But there's like a
<v Speaker 1>there's a random shot of Big Show with his head steaming.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that was from.
<v Speaker 2>I like that.
<v Speaker 1>And then there's also a random shot of Triple H
<v Speaker 1>with the gloves on and a hat and a sledgehammer.
<v Speaker 1>Looked odd and yeah, like just a bunch of clips
<v Speaker 1>that aren't again video game clips, so I didn't recognize
<v Speaker 1>them as much.
<v Speaker 2>Michael Colin Taz welcome us into the Staples Center in
<v Speaker 2>LA They say that it is sixteen thousand sold out
<v Speaker 2>and it looks like it. There are signs everywhere in
<v Speaker 2>this arena.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. Yeah, this is the Staple Center in La So yeah,
<v Speaker 1>packed packed talking out here. SummerSlam is ten days away.
<v Speaker 1>What I like about these early you know, smackdowns, I
<v Speaker 1>actually don't know for sure, and I can look it
<v Speaker 1>up while I talk here, but you can there's you
<v Speaker 1>can tell Taz hasn't found his commentary voice yet.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's right.
<v Speaker 1>He's still kind of like promo Taz while having to
<v Speaker 1>say full sentences instead of like the Taz that kind
<v Speaker 1>of you know, finds his tone here. He uh.
<v Speaker 2>I think it's when he stops being an active competitor
<v Speaker 2>that he kind of figures it out more. He's still
<v Speaker 2>wrestling still.
<v Speaker 1>Here, yes, right, yeah, because he let's see. Wikipedia says
<v Speaker 1>he began performing part time commentary on Heat in October
<v Speaker 1>of two thousand. He did a He did the Rebellion
<v Speaker 1>pay per view with JR. In December of two thousand.
<v Speaker 1>He joined the SmackDown Team in February of two thousand
<v Speaker 1>and one after Lawler quit the company, and then he
<v Speaker 1>also became one of the trainers on Tough Enough that year.
<v Speaker 1>Lawler returns to the company in November and resumed this
<v Speaker 1>place's commentator, with Taz becoming a wrestler and a commentator,
<v Speaker 1>and then when the company splits brands, Taz is permanently
<v Speaker 1>SmackDown guy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's weird, like Taz is a commentator for a
<v Speaker 2>super long time. In my head, I always just think
<v Speaker 2>of wrestler Taz when he Taz, he's been a commentator
<v Speaker 2>for a very long time.
<v Speaker 1>Has he been a commentator for longer? Yeah, than he
<v Speaker 1>was a wrestler. Oh my.
<v Speaker 2>Right, we're talking two thousand and one. He's a commentator
<v Speaker 2>right now.
<v Speaker 1>Ah old, oh wow. Fuck.
<v Speaker 2>Well we have Stone Cold and the Damn Dudley's. They're
<v Speaker 2>teaming together. Uh, they're taking on curd Angle on the
<v Speaker 2>Hardy Boys Elimination tag team match tonight.
<v Speaker 1>I love the graphic. I like the graphics. They did
<v Speaker 1>a lot for the you know, the split the Invasion
<v Speaker 1>versus WBF guys, where it was a split graphic with
<v Speaker 1>the guy you know, you'd know who was on the
<v Speaker 1>Invasion side because they had the Invasion background. That was
<v Speaker 1>always cool.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I would love to see it on a CRT because, like,
<v Speaker 2>these renders are so Crispy. I bet they look great
<v Speaker 2>on a CRTTV.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, you're right, they probably do. You should. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>you have like six CRT TVs probably behind you right now.
<v Speaker 1>You could easily have watched this on there.
<v Speaker 2>I have the technology. I have an even bigger CRT
<v Speaker 2>beside me.
<v Speaker 1>You have a CRT that you have a og Gen
<v Speaker 1>one Roku hooked up too. You could have watched this
<v Speaker 1>all there for sure.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, that's sick too, like looking that thing up
<v Speaker 2>with the with the cable. Yeah, that was awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Tell them what you first tried on the rokuz rt
<v Speaker 1>TV TNA sent me a screenshout of Santino.
<v Speaker 2>Santino on the CRT. Yeah, that's pretty cool. The first
<v Speaker 2>match of the evening APA versus Kanyon and DDP WWF
<v Speaker 2>Tag team title match.
<v Speaker 1>Who better than Kenyon?
<v Speaker 2>Everybody?
<v Speaker 1>What an easy gimmick, right, That's fucking awesome. There's the dude,
<v Speaker 1>it was over too, so over by the way. I
<v Speaker 1>was surprised Kenyon gets his own entrance like he does.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well he's the US champ currently.
<v Speaker 1>That is true, but easily could have just you know,
<v Speaker 1>had him second DDP.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I didn't even think they were going to team here.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think that was the team they were going
<v Speaker 2>with here.
<v Speaker 1>No, especially, I mean, shit, Jersey Try I had just
<v Speaker 1>come out together. Goddamn.
<v Speaker 2>Uh.
<v Speaker 1>I mean the gimmick, like I said, is working. There's
<v Speaker 1>people in the crowd with everybody's better than Kanyon.
<v Speaker 2>Signs Invasion MVP shirt on too.
<v Speaker 1>I love that fucking shirt, dude. He uh. I mean
<v Speaker 1>he's another guy. You know, we don't talk about him
<v Speaker 1>too much on the show. I mean, but one moves
<v Speaker 1>guy too, even you know w CW and and you
<v Speaker 1>can even talk about it here. Anything they give this guy,
<v Speaker 1>he made work.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he made the most of his minutes and that's yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I also can't tell you enough how much I love
<v Speaker 2>the APA. It's one of my favorite tag team gimmicks ever.
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching even just their work, dude, Like I'm watching
<v Speaker 1>them here, and you look at any of the other
<v Speaker 1>matches on the show, maybe maybe Stone Cold might be
<v Speaker 1>the closest one that kind of lays it in like
<v Speaker 1>these guys. But these guys are so snug and it's
<v Speaker 1>so fun to watch. It makes their matches so much
<v Speaker 1>more interesting when you know that, like, oh, like this
<v Speaker 1>feels like a fight for their lives here.
<v Speaker 2>Jim Johnson also made a great song. I mean the
<v Speaker 2>APA song come on like it fits them so.
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's fucking it's fantastic. Yeah, there they are the
<v Speaker 1>tag champs here. Like you said last Monday on raw Uh.
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of DDP, this is funny as hell actually so,
<v Speaker 1>I guess DDP set up a shrine of Sarah, Undertaker's
<v Speaker 1>wife at the time, of course, in the Undertaker's locker room,
<v Speaker 1>which Undertaker got really mad about for some reason. You
<v Speaker 1>would think he'd be super excited that somebody like you know,
<v Speaker 1>made a shround of his wife. Is very nice, gets
<v Speaker 1>look at his wife. No, he hated this.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the intent.
<v Speaker 1>Then quote unquote DDP strolled into the locker room and
<v Speaker 1>Undertaker immediately starts kicking his ass until the real DDP
<v Speaker 1>shows up and hits him with some weapon. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know what it was. They don't say what it was,
<v Speaker 1>and they legit describe it as some weapon on cobbentary.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that is the real DDP.
<v Speaker 1>And then there woopen Taker's ass and came no clips
<v Speaker 1>into the room that chased them off. Where the fuck
<v Speaker 1>did he come from?
<v Speaker 2>He was just hiding.
<v Speaker 1>Taker stores him in a closet in the brother's a
<v Speaker 1>destruction locker room.
<v Speaker 2>He just had like a hint that somebody was gonna
<v Speaker 2>make a Sarah shrine today. He saw him doing it earlier.
<v Speaker 2>There's only a few locker rooms.
<v Speaker 1>My name is Kane, that's all he ever says, or
<v Speaker 1>something like a Pokemon.
<v Speaker 2>No cliffs into the room. My name is Kane.
<v Speaker 1>Oh fuck ship, that's Kane, then upgrades the sucket later.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that would have been so fucking funny if
<v Speaker 2>every time they talk, like, Undertaker cuts a whole promo
<v Speaker 2>about the learning Tree and then Kane grabs the mic
<v Speaker 2>my name is Kane. It would have gotten super over
<v Speaker 2>its double sounds.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it fucking would have.
<v Speaker 2>FRUK and DDP start things off. Fruit takes over immediately
<v Speaker 2>and they stay on top for most of this match. Here,
<v Speaker 2>DDP tags out. Kenya comes in and he keeps trying
<v Speaker 2>to do these moves off the top and he gets caught.
<v Speaker 2>Every time Bradshaw comes in. He starts clubbing Canyon to
<v Speaker 2>shit immediately. Canyon, by the way, once again tries to
<v Speaker 2>climb the top rope and Bradshaw cuts him off and
<v Speaker 2>hits a fallaway slam off the second.
<v Speaker 1>Kenyon is taking everything. He is getting obliterated.
<v Speaker 2>Here, stop climbing the rose.
<v Speaker 1>Usually it's the opposite, right, like the guy can uh.
<v Speaker 1>He hits a few off the top, and then the
<v Speaker 1>other guy learns now, APA already knows what you're doing,
<v Speaker 1>and you gotta stop.
<v Speaker 2>That was me on WCW Revenge the other night, just
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out how to get a finish or
<v Speaker 2>climbing the ropes and getting cut off every time.
<v Speaker 1>Man, it's horrible. If you go for a suplex from
<v Speaker 1>the apron at any point in ww NY Revenge against
<v Speaker 1>the CPU, don't fucking.
<v Speaker 2>Bother our difficulty. It's over.
<v Speaker 1>You're cooked. Cook.
<v Speaker 2>Kanyon goes to grab Ferok's leg here. This allows DDP
<v Speaker 2>to glomb them. Uh. DDP and Kenyon follow up with
<v Speaker 2>a belly to back neck breaker combat.
<v Speaker 1>Well, reverse three D gets some heat for the boys
<v Speaker 1>against you know the Dudley's in here for a minute.
<v Speaker 2>Bradshaw comes in, Kenyon comes in, Bradshaw kicks everyone's fucking ass.
<v Speaker 2>Just Bradshaw power slam for two. Well, wait a minute,
<v Speaker 2>this is the loudest pop I've ever heard. Who the
<v Speaker 2>fuck is that that's Test from the WWF.
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit, that's wf's gold dust.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, sucking from WCW.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. I'm glad they said it was Test though, because
<v Speaker 1>at first, the first shot they showed, I had no
<v Speaker 1>fucking idea who that was. It was just a dude. Yeah, dude,
<v Speaker 1>you could have been Edge, you could have been Jericho, like,
<v Speaker 1>this could have been anybody.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Test comes in. I mean, this pop is nuclear.
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's unreal, Like maybe my headphones were just
<v Speaker 2>like don in, but I was like, holy fuck, how
<v Speaker 2>over his test right now?
<v Speaker 1>Well, dude, a million percent and no disrespect to mister Test,
<v Speaker 1>but you know, this was the era of jump the rail.
<v Speaker 1>Oh fuck, it's somebody from w CW, which is why
<v Speaker 1>I think they had to say this is a WWF
<v Speaker 1>guy on like for the show so people to get
<v Speaker 1>too excited that it was like a guy invading.
<v Speaker 2>They thought it was like Mike Sanders or something. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly who they would have. Oh my god, it's
<v Speaker 2>really excited.
<v Speaker 1>For Sanders and Reno.
<v Speaker 2>Hey, they were on the show like ninety percent of
<v Speaker 2>the time before they went out of business.
<v Speaker 1>Before they went out of business, it's like a huge sentence.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so test from the w w F. It's a
<v Speaker 4>big loot on the route. Oh ship, that ship is
<v Speaker 4>so good. What is this WF guy doing here on
<v Speaker 4>this back though?
<v Speaker 2>Well it cuts back to the ring. King of feeds
<v Speaker 2>out from the corner and Bradshaw hits the clothesline from
<v Speaker 2>Hell we had god, kenyans Holy fuck, he's swinging for
<v Speaker 2>the fences on that one and he gets blitzed.
<v Speaker 1>He's done. It's a butt. The referee is distracted because,
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, toty km's test is here.
<v Speaker 2>Holy shit, he has a belt. Yeah, so uh, clothesline
<v Speaker 2>from Hell. WWF's test comes in. He hits Bradshaw with
<v Speaker 2>the belt. Kenyon ends up pinning Bradshaw and we have
<v Speaker 2>new WWF Tag Team Champions.
<v Speaker 1>I was super excited about this. I actually love when
<v Speaker 1>we get to see title changes like on the actual
<v Speaker 1>weekly shows here because yeah, put some what happened on
<v Speaker 1>pay per views and we don't cover those on the
<v Speaker 1>pod obviously, So like I was like, oh shit, new
<v Speaker 1>tag champion. That's pretty cool.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, DDP and Canyon the WWF Tag Team Champions a
<v Speaker 2>little world here with WWF's Test. Wait, a minute. I
<v Speaker 2>don't think that's WWS test anymore. That's WCW's test.
<v Speaker 1>No, that's TNA's test. Soon.
<v Speaker 2>He's been every promotion. He's in w c W slash
<v Speaker 2>ECW right now, he's an e CW later, he's in today. Oh,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, good god, man, he's been everywhere.
<v Speaker 1>A true journey man, held no titles anywhere somehow.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's fucking kept cutting them off at the knees.
<v Speaker 1>Man, it's always triple Ah's fault. When you think you
<v Speaker 1>heard that pop earlier, that's a test tim when he
<v Speaker 1>went to the back, Who the.
<v Speaker 2>Fuck heard that pop? Hey, hey, back there, you hear
<v Speaker 2>that pop? My name is Karine, Hell yeah, that guy
<v Speaker 2>heard it. The rock has arrived.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, it's fucking eight twenty bud.
<v Speaker 2>Whose side is he on? Test?
<v Speaker 1>What he's onf test side?
<v Speaker 2>The terminator is here, man, Hey, calm down, you wanna
<v Speaker 2>do all that though?
<v Speaker 1>Be quiet, dude.
<v Speaker 2>He didn't bring the ww blue belt.
<v Speaker 1>I know what the fuck? He already sold that on eBay.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he probably traded it for a WCW belt. He's
<v Speaker 2>only had to see if someone's gonna arrive.
<v Speaker 1>He heard him going nuts when tested up the rail.
<v Speaker 1>He thought it was Mike Sanders.
<v Speaker 2>Oh cool man. Turnero is going nuts over there. Don't
<v Speaker 2>calm him down though. It's not that goal.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, sit that fucking guy down.
<v Speaker 2>So we have Perry Saturn versus Raven Yes, and I
<v Speaker 2>see Perry Saturn come out. He gets the whole entrance here,
<v Speaker 2>and my brain immediately goes to man, the game's did
<v Speaker 2>a lot of heavy lifting for Perry Saturn. For me
<v Speaker 2>as a kid, I mean, Perry Saturn, I played with
<v Speaker 2>him so much.
<v Speaker 1>His moves are so sick.
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if that's that way for some other kids
<v Speaker 2>growing up nowadays.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, like they only like the guys because they their
<v Speaker 1>move set and the games are sweet.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like they play with them on the video games
<v Speaker 2>a lot, so they become fans of them.
<v Speaker 1>Channing Stacks Lorenzo, I can't.
<v Speaker 2>Even come up with a fucking name. Channing Stacks Lorenzo
<v Speaker 2>is fine. Like, I don't even know, man, I can't
<v Speaker 2>even come up with one. Yeah right, Channing Stacks Lorenzo.
<v Speaker 2>And they're like a big fan, you know. Yeah. I
<v Speaker 2>wonder if like that's the deal nowadays. I imagine I
<v Speaker 2>imagine that's the case. I don't know if so much.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think the games were probably a lot
<v Speaker 2>more popular back back then, yeah, than they are now.
<v Speaker 2>But because I mean, I mean, how many times you
<v Speaker 2>talk to somebody and they're like, yeah, I played the
<v Speaker 2>WWF game on the N sixty four or I played SmackDown,
<v Speaker 2>Here Comes the Paint or something, right, like everyone's played
<v Speaker 2>at least that once or twice of course.
<v Speaker 1>Oh but funny enough, fucking you know you were talking
<v Speaker 1>about that, like, you know, people playing the games and
<v Speaker 1>getting into wrestling or having their guys like, uh, you
<v Speaker 1>know that Cappuccino Jones guy in WWE. He said, uh,
<v Speaker 1>like w W All Stars got him into wrestling.
<v Speaker 2>Oh nice, which is nuts. Yeah, I mean I think
<v Speaker 2>he'll do well in WWE.
<v Speaker 1>I think so too. You know, he's athletic kid. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>he's he's got something for sure. By the way, I
<v Speaker 1>loved Perry Saturn Titan Tron being primarily moppy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that was a punishment, right, the moppy deal.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I think it was a mill threw that dude
<v Speaker 1>on his fucking head.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Yeah, he beat up Mike Bell and they put
<v Speaker 2>him with the mop and then Perry Satterer said what
<v Speaker 2>if I got this extremely.
<v Speaker 1>Over Yeah, whoops, they're gonna kill it at that. Don
<v Speaker 1>you have nothing that you're just a fucking yeah all right,
<v Speaker 1>Well gave MOPy a new hat here.
<v Speaker 2>That was cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's what they said. They went shopping today in
<v Speaker 1>La uh So two weeks ago and SmackDown Terry Runnelds,
<v Speaker 1>who had been with Perry Saturn up to this point,
<v Speaker 1>gave Perry an ultimatum and said you either picked the
<v Speaker 1>mop or me, and Perry took the mop, and of
<v Speaker 1>course he hit his catchphrase, You're welcome.
<v Speaker 2>That is his catchphrase. That's also Damian Misdow's catchphrase.
<v Speaker 1>One of the many guys that you like to play
<v Speaker 1>as in the games, just kidding is was the in
<v Speaker 1>the game. Yeah, he was sure, just not fun to play.
<v Speaker 2>As Raven comes out here, caw caw caw cock cock
<v Speaker 2>cock cock cock co.
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna and we're gonna respect.
<v Speaker 2>Him on this show, right, No, I love Raven. He
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the sword tattoo.
<v Speaker 1>Though, dude, he didn't have the sword tattoo, but he
<v Speaker 1>was shirtless, which dude.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that didn't even strike me as odd. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know why, but yeah, you're right. Usually, I think when
<v Speaker 2>we see him on this show, especially in this era,
<v Speaker 2>he's wearing like a comic book shirt or something.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he has some kind of cutoff shirt or something
<v Speaker 1>like that.
<v Speaker 2>And he looked great.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, he did look great, And I wanted to bring
<v Speaker 1>it up specifically that he had no shirt on because
<v Speaker 1>growing up, there was a figure set that included Raven
<v Speaker 1>that always confused me because I had no recollection of
<v Speaker 1>really Raven being shirtless. Here is the set here, as
<v Speaker 1>i'll Sinny link. It is Raven, Shane McMahon, and Stone
<v Speaker 1>Cold Steve Austin in a three pack.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, even a Sea McMahon. Oh hell yeah, no, take
<v Speaker 2>that off the shelves.
<v Speaker 1>Take that off the shells.
<v Speaker 2>Now, that's funny as hell. Wow.
<v Speaker 1>I'd have no idea why these three are in a
<v Speaker 1>fucking three pack together, but I thought it was motherfuckers
<v Speaker 1>Johnny's favorites all on one pack.
<v Speaker 2>So Perry Hot starts on Raven here where the suicide dive,
<v Speaker 2>because he came out here with Terry.
<v Speaker 1>Uh.
<v Speaker 2>They get into the ring here, Perry starts unloading supplexes
<v Speaker 2>belly to belly, like goes for a slingshot leg drop.
<v Speaker 2>He misses, but he ends up supplex and Raven and man,
<v Speaker 2>he's just going to town on him.
<v Speaker 1>He is hitting every kind of suplex. There was one
<v Speaker 1>that he does that I didn't even know how to
<v Speaker 1>write down. I was like, Wow, he's kind of just
<v Speaker 1>inventing shit here on throwing him around, I imagine because
<v Speaker 1>they probably know they worked in three companies together at
<v Speaker 1>this point, right east wwwn n here, so I imagine
<v Speaker 1>he's pretty comfortable just dumping his dude on his head.
<v Speaker 2>Raven then follows up with the finish of the last betchy.
<v Speaker 2>He's out of the corner and Raven hit the.
<v Speaker 1>Line dude, which uh oh dude, Okay, I fucking that's
<v Speaker 1>what I wanted to bring up here because Okay, you're right,
<v Speaker 1>that does happen. But do you know what happened to
<v Speaker 1>the match before that that may have started this was
<v Speaker 1>Bradshaw does Raven's DDT in that match. That's Raven's move.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean to be fair to Raven. This is
<v Speaker 2>also one of his signature spots.
<v Speaker 1>That's true.
<v Speaker 2>It is Raven misses a dive and Saturn catapults him
<v Speaker 2>into Mappy in the corner before hitting the Moss Cover
<v Speaker 2>three Handle Family Gurdonza for The Wind.
<v Speaker 1>I could not believe that Michael Cole called it that
<v Speaker 1>on commentary, Like I was writing it down. I was like, well,
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be funny because they aren't going to
<v Speaker 1>say this on the show. And Michael Cole says it,
<v Speaker 1>I said, oh my god, this is crazy.
<v Speaker 2>That's like his move in the video game. It's called
<v Speaker 2>that too around this era.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that comes from the Jericho promo, right, the yep,
<v Speaker 1>the list of a thousand holder on a thousand and one.
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me, mm hmm. Yeah, that's nuts that they even
<v Speaker 1>how like Vince on headset wasn't saying what the fuck.
<v Speaker 2>Are you doing?
<v Speaker 1>It?
<v Speaker 2>Fit is gimmick?
<v Speaker 1>Right?
<v Speaker 2>He was crazy?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's that's true. He was crazy because he beat
<v Speaker 1>up Mike Bell. He had a bunch of concussions. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's all.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, yeah. So Perry Saturn does the Rick Steiner run.
<v Speaker 2>He did, Yeah, and then he realizes that Mapia is missing.
<v Speaker 1>No, how could this fucking be? Who could have stole it?
<v Speaker 1>He should have went up to Arnold in the crowd
<v Speaker 1>and started like interrogating him.
<v Speaker 2>No one on this entire show just even hints that
<v Speaker 2>Terry just taking it.
<v Speaker 1>No, no one like Perry somehow also like no friends
<v Speaker 1>at all that could like be like, hey, dude, I
<v Speaker 1>know you're fucking stupid.
<v Speaker 2>Now, Like Michael Cole and Taz only watched the show
<v Speaker 2>through the monitor. They just didn't look up and see
<v Speaker 2>like someone just walking away with it.
<v Speaker 1>They did not. They only watched the screen. They see
<v Speaker 1>what the people see. If the people don't see it,
<v Speaker 1>they don't see it.
<v Speaker 2>Michael Cole just getting yelled at. Do not say Terry
<v Speaker 2>took it? Say Terry Tuckett, I hate you. I hate you,
<v Speaker 2>all right, boss? Sorry boss.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dude, Parry should have jumped the rail, got on
<v Speaker 1>Arnold's face. I would have been a fucking way to
<v Speaker 1>go take it.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, pucked down Now, So we got backstage. DDP and
<v Speaker 2>Canyon are here with w CW's test.
<v Speaker 1>That's test. Donill come on, we haven't crossed the line. No,

<v Speaker 1>Test shirt out, dude.
<v Speaker 2>I'm I mean Test had a history of shirts in
<v Speaker 2>the WWF and.

<v Speaker 2>A lot of money on the table there.
<v Speaker 1>Well, Test says, tonight's about celebrating. You guys are the champion,
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna get us the table at the viper room.

<v Speaker 2>Can we have my gold dust?
<v Speaker 1>Is Steve Goldberg gonna be there?
<v Speaker 2>What?
<v Speaker 1>The regal walks up, he's the commissioner. He says, hello,
<v Speaker 1>glad to see you two tarts excited about being w
<v Speaker 1>F Tag champions. But now you're under my jurisdiction. So
<v Speaker 1>at SummerSlam. I decided, uh, you're gonna have a tech
<v Speaker 1>title match against the Undertaker and Kane bye bye, and
<v Speaker 1>he leaves and he walks back in. By the way,
<v Speaker 1>it's a cage.
<v Speaker 2>Match, by damn there. And that felt like smack Down
<v Speaker 2>two season mode or something it did.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I always liked Threegles commissioner. I thought that was
<v Speaker 1>a fun fucking role for him. He ows that for
<v Speaker 1>a while too.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they pee in his drink for some reason. That's
<v Speaker 2>what I remember.
<v Speaker 1>That's like beak, Yeah, you're right.
<v Speaker 2>A man in the crowd is in a mask and
<v Speaker 2>he takes it off and it's former w CW World
<v Speaker 2>Champion David Arquette.
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit, why don't they say that?
<v Speaker 2>Holy shit, is Anthony Anderson from Kangary Jack. He's whooping
<v Speaker 2>his ass.
<v Speaker 1>They start fucking fighting in the crowd.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I just were gonna make like my cole not taking
<v Speaker 1>a ww jab or anything. We're mentioning David Arkeette here
<v Speaker 1>felt kind of weird.
<v Speaker 2>Well, they probably invited him.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's true, Well bury him. Who cares, WBF, what
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna do? Not show up again?
<v Speaker 2>That's at all. There's David Arcutt fighting the crowd probably
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be doing that.
<v Speaker 1>Brother.
<v Speaker 2>We go backstage. Spike and his girlfriend Molly are here
<v Speaker 2>talking to Tijeri and regles a office.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Spike is now back from injury. He says he's
<v Speaker 1>all healed up.
<v Speaker 2>He said, what if I did a spot tonight where
<v Speaker 2>I could possibly be re injured immediately?
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's good son, let's do that.
<v Speaker 3>Well.
<v Speaker 1>Xbox walks in and he's mad. He's also the cruiserweight champ.
<v Speaker 2>I think yep, he's the WCW cruiserweight champion.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, okay? And uh an Xbox pissed that. Rego says,
<v Speaker 1>what kind of commissioner are you?
<v Speaker 4>Did?
<v Speaker 1>Jerry comes out on wrong and spits that green crap
<v Speaker 1>in my eyes and steals a let heavyweight tuttle from me.
<v Speaker 1>And you're gonna let that stand? You know what? You suck?
<v Speaker 1>And Rego says, actually the expression is xpac sucks. You
<v Speaker 1>can't manga like, don't you manga this guy? Xbox is
<v Speaker 1>his name.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Also, man, that's a horrible gimmick.
<v Speaker 1>They didn't have to do that, right, like they chant
<v Speaker 1>Xbox sucks. But that doesn't have to be like his
<v Speaker 1>gimmick as he sucks.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so your gimmick this week is you suck ass?
<v Speaker 1>Ho me caught? Yeah, Xbox says, well you think I suck? Well,
<v Speaker 1>you think I suck so bad? How about you and
<v Speaker 1>ty jerry Son take me out and take on me
<v Speaker 1>and Albert tonight and Regal immediately like not even thinking,
<v Speaker 1>he's like, yeah, that's fucking fine with me. See like,
<v Speaker 1>which again, I think that's awesome. Usually like a commissioner
<v Speaker 1>will be like, ah, maybe not. Regel says, yeah, I'll
<v Speaker 1>fight the shit out of you. Man, you suck, I'll
<v Speaker 1>fuck you up here.
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty cool.
<v Speaker 1>Well, so yeah, Spike said, hey, man, I know you're busy.
<v Speaker 1>I'll take your place, and Xbox says, all right, you
<v Speaker 1>might want to be careful, boy, you might want to
<v Speaker 1>thank commissioner here for what's gonna happen to you later,
<v Speaker 1>and Xbox leaves in. Spike, who does is not afraid
<v Speaker 1>of Xbox at all, says ooh, hey, man, show this
<v Speaker 1>guy some fucking get some fucking respect for Xbox here.
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely fucking not.
<v Speaker 1>I guess not.
<v Speaker 2>So we go to Edge versus rod VANDAMN Hardcore title match.
<v Speaker 2>Last week, Edge pulled down Landstorm's pants. They had Power
<v Speaker 2>Rangers underwear.
<v Speaker 1>On, which is like fucking normal to have every week.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's two thousand and one, so like
<v Speaker 2>Power Ranges is still good.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, especially every day as someone might may are the
<v Speaker 1>same Power Rangers underwear and that's fucking like, there's nothing
<v Speaker 1>wrong with that. It was, by the way, Christian was
<v Speaker 1>faking a friendship with Landstorm and then they faked him
<v Speaker 1>out and Edge pants them. But Christian nowhere to be
<v Speaker 1>seen here tonight.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hmm, Well, RVD is the hardcore champion currently.
<v Speaker 1>He's cool shit too.
<v Speaker 2>Edge and RVD going to an international here. But Edge
<v Speaker 2>grabs RVD off the floor and hits a facebuster. Cool,
<v Speaker 2>and this is a hardcore match, so they can pin
<v Speaker 2>outside the ring and stuff like that.
<v Speaker 1>That threw me off for a second too, Like I
<v Speaker 1>in my brain, I know that's like hardcore title rules,
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like more times than not, we just
<v Speaker 1>see a hardcore match and there's weapons in the ring
<v Speaker 1>and somebody just runs in and wins. That's not in
<v Speaker 1>the match.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there actually wasn't much weapon usage here, but they
<v Speaker 2>did take advantage of going outside and stuff like that.
<v Speaker 2>A huge RVD chance from the crowd here. He's very
<v Speaker 2>over even here in two thousand and one.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, there's one guy when they're on the outside that
<v Speaker 1>is like, must be right next to the camera, and
<v Speaker 1>he says, oh, fucking show.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, this is West Coast. That's pretty cool.
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know this XPW territory, you better watch out. RVD.
<v Speaker 2>Edge sets up this ladder on the post here, but
<v Speaker 2>RVD sweeps his legs and then catapults Edge into the
<v Speaker 2>ladder for two.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. There's also, by the way, speaking of the XPW,
<v Speaker 1>someone in the crowd is holding a Supreme XPW sign.
<v Speaker 2>Oh nice, yes, shuts out. I love that the ref
<v Speaker 2>is just walking around with the hardcore title because like,
<v Speaker 2>the match can just end whenever.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even notice that.
<v Speaker 2>That is kind of cool.
<v Speaker 1>They didn't send the game, sadly.
<v Speaker 2>No, no, they didn't. RVD is setting up a ladder
<v Speaker 2>on the second rope, but Edge jumps off of it
<v Speaker 2>and seesaws the ladder in rvd's face. That gets a
<v Speaker 2>two count.
<v Speaker 1>I mean that spot takes fucking forever.
<v Speaker 2>Dude.
<v Speaker 1>You mean it look cool, but RVD, I mean, RVD
<v Speaker 1>might as well turn around and say, oh, you should
<v Speaker 1>jump on this.
<v Speaker 2>Way, A Storm runs down, He pulls the rope and
<v Speaker 2>Edge flips over Edge line Storm down outside, he comes in.
<v Speaker 2>It hits a German supplex on RVD for a double down.
<v Speaker 2>RVD takes it like RVD takes it.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I was gonna say, RVD always takes German suplexes
<v Speaker 1>like somehow he gets unbelievable height and then the weight
<v Speaker 1>of his ass crushes the rest of his body on
<v Speaker 1>his head.
<v Speaker 2>Storm comes back in, but Edge hits him with a
<v Speaker 2>spinning heel kick and an edge o mattic. Of course,
<v Speaker 2>RVD hits a fucking standing drop kick to Edge. I
<v Speaker 2>feel like I never see RVD do a standing dropkick.
<v Speaker 1>It definitely felt like, oh fuck, I am supposed to
<v Speaker 1>do something here, uh dropkick?
<v Speaker 2>It was clean, it looked awfulse yeah, I mean it
<v Speaker 2>doesn't surprise me. I guess that RVD has a great
<v Speaker 2>drop kick, but sure, it was cool to see him
<v Speaker 2>break something out I don't usually see him doing. RVD
<v Speaker 2>sets up a chair in the ring, Edge uses it
<v Speaker 2>to jump off and hit Storm with a spear out
<v Speaker 2>of mid air. That was sick Landstorm came down to
<v Speaker 2>this ring like five minutes ago. He's been getting his
<v Speaker 2>ass whooped the entire time. Edge sets up for the
<v Speaker 2>buzzkill here, but RVD kicks him. RVD and Landstorm then
<v Speaker 2>grabbed chairs and hit a standing concerto to Edge.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, a couple things here. One. I swore that Christian
<v Speaker 1>was gonna come down to make the save obviously, or
<v Speaker 1>somebody would like this is like invasion shit here, No,
<v Speaker 1>they just kill Edge two. Buzzkill.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's Xbox move right it is?
<v Speaker 1>Or but maybe was that the buzz killer or was it?
<v Speaker 1>But it was it both?
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was both, it was whatever that was also
<v Speaker 2>a person in WCW.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, you're right. Who the fuck was buzzkill?
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember Armstrong. Oh yeah it was the Red Dog.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah that's right. Yeah, of course, which is crazy.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, it just but that's the fucking educution whatever,
<v Speaker 1>the impaler.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's right. Standing concerto was crazy crushed them.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, look, I mean look great and uh rv dy one.
<v Speaker 2>Well we go back next stage. Steve Austin is here
<v Speaker 2>with Debra and telling her how much he hates Matt Hardy.
<v Speaker 1>They're in a very purple room as well. Uh and
<v Speaker 1>Austin's explaining the match to her and it's a six
<v Speaker 1>man tag Deborah. They think about it is I hate
<v Speaker 1>Matt Hardy, I hate Jeff Hardy, and I really hate
<v Speaker 1>Kurt Angle.
<v Speaker 2>He makes me sick.
<v Speaker 1>And at least I got the Dudley's what cut. They
<v Speaker 1>come in, and then of course the stars of the show,
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Plumbo and Shaan O'Hare make their way into the room.
<v Speaker 1>They're the w CP Tag Team champion. Dude.
<v Speaker 2>The way they enter the room and the way that
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin greets them is the funniest fucking thing, dude.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they come in and Austin's like, Chuck Blumbo, Shan O'Hair,
<v Speaker 1>been watching the guys, you look real damn good.
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck are you watching matches?

<v Speaker 1>on your team, Steve to wear on the same side.
<v Speaker 1>We're like, right, you're all w city. Yep, that's what
<v Speaker 1>I was talking about every time double seeing him. You
<v Speaker 1>guys walk into the room with Austin, he shakes their
<v Speaker 1>head and says, you guys run out of business.
<v Speaker 3>You guys absolutely suck eighty three weeks turned into you
<v Speaker 3>guys dying what one week?
<v Speaker 1>What I just talked to creative Chuck and Sean and
<v Speaker 1>your guys gimmick Now as you suck on TV, Steve,

<v Speaker 2>What we're gonna send you down to Heartland?
<v Speaker 1>Son, you learn how to work a lick and we're
<v Speaker 1>pulling Horace up.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you guys know that guy right well.
<v Speaker 1>Chuck says Steve, We're fired up. We know the Dudley's out.
<v Speaker 1>Your back to my butt in the future. We want
<v Speaker 1>to have your back. We're the tag champs, you're the
<v Speaker 1>wit of a champion. Know where we want to be
<v Speaker 1>on the same team. And Austin says, I like it.
<v Speaker 1>You're showing attitude, You're shown initiative, You're showing traits of
<v Speaker 1>a winner. And what you got to do in the
<v Speaker 1>WW have to make a name for yourselves is not
<v Speaker 1>be afraid to make a challenge, stand up for yourself,
<v Speaker 1>race the hell out there, don't back down from nobody.
<v Speaker 1>You guys are going to be big, big superstars. He
<v Speaker 1>was like, not trying to be funny there too. He
<v Speaker 1>meant that just has a way of saying ship That
<v Speaker 1>made me fucking laugh.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like you just can't believe a single word this
<v Speaker 2>guy's saying, go.
<v Speaker 1>Out there and just race somehow, whip some ask go
<v Speaker 1>get them and Austin shakes their hands and they leave
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, those boys going to be big? Okay,
<v Speaker 1>who is that?
<v Speaker 2>So he names? Right, that's a guy that could see
<v Speaker 2>being the Undertaker.
<v Speaker 1>I won't be here in the future. That's a future.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll come back with my a TV racham l.
<v Speaker 2>We have Spike Dudley with Molly Holly and to Jerry
<v Speaker 2>versus X Factor. Dude, there are so many champions on
<v Speaker 2>this show right now, Like every single match features a champion.
<v Speaker 2>To Jerry's the light heavyweight champion right now, X poc
<v Speaker 2>is the cruiserweight champion.
<v Speaker 1>Right Well, we're coming up to unify a lot of
<v Speaker 1>these soon, I think, right.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that's right. Like it seems like they're
<v Speaker 2>lining up everybody through the unifications. X Pock and to
<v Speaker 2>Jerry start off here, but ta Jerry decides to do
<v Speaker 2>a no look kick to Albert and hits him off
<v Speaker 2>the apron.
<v Speaker 1>How cool was that, dude? Albert's on the apron, running
<v Speaker 1>his mouth to the Jerry and to Jerry, I mean
<v Speaker 1>he's the best of this dude. He turns, doesn't like
<v Speaker 1>his body turns and he's still looking at X pocket
<v Speaker 1>look like and he blitz his Albert in the face
<v Speaker 1>with his kick.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very cool, awesome to Jerry kicks down x POC
<v Speaker 2>and Spike Dudley comes in with the double axe. Spike
<v Speaker 2>ducks a line here from x POC and tries to
<v Speaker 2>cross body Albert. Oh my, what comes next is the
<v Speaker 2>craziest thing I've ever seen.
<v Speaker 1>So dude, I'm not joking. Is this not one of
<v Speaker 1>the scariest things like ever?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So Spike just came back from injury, so Spike.
<v Speaker 2>So Spike ducks a line from xpot here and he
<v Speaker 2>tries to crossbody Albert on the apron. Albert catches him
<v Speaker 2>crossbody you know, like or is only the long way?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah, yeah, he.
<v Speaker 2>Presses him over his head. I'm thinking, oh, he's gonna
<v Speaker 2>like military press him into the ring. Of course, no, man,
<v Speaker 2>Albert takes this guy, presses him above his head on
<v Speaker 2>the apron and then drops him all the way to
<v Speaker 2>the floor on the outside.
<v Speaker 1>So it's not even like he like gives him any mph, right,
<v Speaker 1>Like there's no lunch so he can like maybe go
<v Speaker 1>face first or like stomach first. He dumps him and
<v Speaker 1>Spike rolls down his bag, hits the apron and in
<v Speaker 1>the floor. Like this is horrifying. I don't know how
<v Speaker 1>he didn't die.
<v Speaker 2>Like Spike was not afraid of anything. He would just
<v Speaker 2>do whatever. Yeah, dude, Spike was a dog.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was a He was a beast, dude, and
<v Speaker 1>like for you know, he totally didn't have to do
<v Speaker 1>that for this match, by the way, like he, like
<v Speaker 1>you said, just came back from injury. People know, Albert,
<v Speaker 1>like a beal would have been enough, which they do do,
<v Speaker 1>and that's enough. Like he looks crazy getting bealed across
<v Speaker 1>the ring. No, I'm gonna take a fucking military press
<v Speaker 1>to the floor backwards.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, fuck that. We're not doing any normal shit. Spike's
<v Speaker 2>a dog. We're getting some shit over. We're doing the boss.
<v Speaker 2>That is the boss right there.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like that.
<v Speaker 2>XPOC brings Spike back into the ring, hits a brain
<v Speaker 2>buster for a two. They're kicking this dude's ass.
<v Speaker 1>They are stuffing this guy. It would dude, it was
<v Speaker 1>actually a really cool brainbuster too. Xbox like kind of
<v Speaker 1>jumped on it.
<v Speaker 2>It almost turned into a God's Last gift.
<v Speaker 1>It was sick.
<v Speaker 2>Albert comes in and beats down Spike, beals him across
<v Speaker 2>the ring, talk shit. Albert picks Spike up by the
<v Speaker 2>belt and carries him over to x Pox so he
<v Speaker 2>can tag in.
<v Speaker 1>That is fucking crazy.
<v Speaker 2>Albert goes for the boot, but crotches himself on the
<v Speaker 2>top rope. Here to Jerry geinst the hot tag. He
<v Speaker 2>comes in with a line, a kick, handspring, back elbow.
<v Speaker 2>The crowd goes crazy.
<v Speaker 1>He's another video game guy to me, but also like
<v Speaker 1>real life guy, like obviously, like there's two Jery matches
<v Speaker 1>I thoroughly enjoyed. I mean there's tons, especially in ECW
<v Speaker 1>that I could call to. But I mean, you play
<v Speaker 1>as to Jerry in a video game, you're doing all
<v Speaker 1>the kicks, like Perry Satins all the suplexes. Maybe Taz too,
<v Speaker 1>he probably had a ton of suplexes to Jerry's got
<v Speaker 1>all these fucking sweet kicks. Like this guy is awesome
<v Speaker 1>and super dialed into like when you're playing, you know,
<v Speaker 1>just talking about video game stuff some more when you're
<v Speaker 1>if the game's gonna right at least, and they usually
<v Speaker 1>did in the older ones, like you're playing to jury.
<v Speaker 1>It felt like the Jerry Yeah for sure.
<v Speaker 2>He pins xpoc here. Albert splashes xpoc by accident, trying
<v Speaker 2>to break up the pill, Spike into Jerry, double drop
<v Speaker 2>kick Albert. Xpos now on the outside talking shit to Molly.
<v Speaker 2>Molly slaps xpoc, xpox pushes her down, Spike dives on him.
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot going on in this back.
<v Speaker 1>There's a ton going on here. Xbox was probably telling
<v Speaker 1>Molly that she's not the real gorgeous joy.
<v Speaker 2>Where are the rest of the gorgeous Georgias?
<v Speaker 1>Why is there so many of them?
<v Speaker 2>X poc brings the belt in. Dude, Okay, so all
<v Speaker 2>that happens in the back end right, x poc brings
<v Speaker 2>this belt in, Spike stops him. The ref thinks Spike
<v Speaker 2>has the belt, so the ref is distracted to Jerry
<v Speaker 2>kicks down. X poc jumps off his back. It gets
<v Speaker 2>caught out of midair by Albert in a double mic.
<v Speaker 1>God dude, this which would have been enough, right, like
<v Speaker 1>that's cool enough, But.
<v Speaker 2>As he's up in the air, double goozled x POC
<v Speaker 2>hits him with the belt and then Albert hits the
<v Speaker 2>Baldo bomb to pick up the win x.
<v Speaker 1>Poc like has to line up behind Albert to leap
<v Speaker 1>up behind him and hit to Jerry in the head
<v Speaker 1>with the cruiseweight title like completely unnecessary. The Baldo bomb
<v Speaker 1>could have just beat to Jerry, but no, bring this
<v Speaker 1>motherfucker with the title two.
<v Speaker 2>Very cool finish here at.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I love that shit. That was sick.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this whole deal here.
<v Speaker 1>I like this match a lot, really good match. I
<v Speaker 1>think everyone looked fucking super good coming out of this.
<v Speaker 1>As we mentioned, you know, eventually we get the title
<v Speaker 1>unification between I believe it's textbutkins Jerry.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that's right. We go backstage. William Rigo
<v Speaker 2>is in his office and Perry Saturn is here looking
<v Speaker 2>for MOPy.
<v Speaker 1>MOPy mo By. He's look, dude, he's looking in the
<v Speaker 1>regal piss cup. He's looking through all this shit, and
<v Speaker 1>uh Rego's like, what are you doing. I can assure
<v Speaker 1>you MOPy is not here. I suggest you go find Terry.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure she has a better idea what your Moppy
<v Speaker 1>is than I do. And Perry looks at him and says,
<v Speaker 1>you're welcome. He leaves right, Well, like, why wouldn't you
<v Speaker 1>ask Terry? Right? Regal should have got up with brass
<v Speaker 1>nuts and punched them in the back of the head. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>have done that.
<v Speaker 2>He probably hasn't work ticket don He was jotting down
<v Speaker 2>some information.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody would have second thought that para
<v Speaker 1>and laid out on the floor in the commissioner's office room.
<v Speaker 1>They were like, oh, yeah, that's fucking that pans out.
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense.
<v Speaker 2>He should have drank the pea.
<v Speaker 1>He just still has pissing there from like forever ago. Well,
<v Speaker 1>the two of the top guys in w CW Seanahair
<v Speaker 1>and Chuck Blumbo are here if we haven't got enough
<v Speaker 1>of them? And Regal says, the fuck do you two want?
<v Speaker 1>And Chuck Plumbo says, hey, slow your role, bro, we
<v Speaker 1>want to be leaders. We want to match tonight, and
<v Speaker 1>Shawan Harris says, we're here to lead by example. We'll
<v Speaker 1>take on any w F tag team you have tonight.
<v Speaker 1>Riles has any team all right? Well, the Hardys are
<v Speaker 1>booked and APA already worked and share our tag divisions.
<v Speaker 1>Pretty light boys. I don't know. I gotta figure this
<v Speaker 1>out here. Uh, you're gonna put the tag titles on
<v Speaker 1>the line though, And they say, definitely, we're gonna do that,
<v Speaker 1>and Regels says, all right, I'll get the fuck out
<v Speaker 1>of my office before I load these brass dogs up.
<v Speaker 1>You see Perry Sidner on the floor, that's you next.
<v Speaker 2>So now it's time for the Booker t and Shane
<v Speaker 2>mcmahontown Hall.
<v Speaker 1>Michael Cole says that Booker is jealous of the Rock,
<v Speaker 1>jealous of his popular already is Hollywood success and standing
<v Speaker 1>up is one of the greatest sports entertainers in the
<v Speaker 1>business has seen. God damn all right, man, just back
<v Speaker 1>off of it just a little, Like if you smell,
<v Speaker 1>if you dude, if you haven't seen it, you all
<v Speaker 1>need to go see the Rocks first entrance with the
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood theme where it was the first version of it.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's no way out. It is so goddamn funny.
<v Speaker 2>If you smell, If you smell, look at their tongue,
<v Speaker 2>Look at their tongue if they smell.
<v Speaker 1>Like he doesn't even know when to come out. What
<v Speaker 1>do I do here?
<v Speaker 2>I love that? Yeah, Wow, that shit. Ha'd be dying
<v Speaker 2>if you.
<v Speaker 1>Should have kept that dude, it's so obnoxious, man, Like,
<v Speaker 1>I get the Rock, but it is so fucking obnoxious, dude.
<v Speaker 2>Like, dude, it's so funny, how like Hollywood Rock and
<v Speaker 2>Heal Steve Austin are like both great. Like, yeah, that's
<v Speaker 2>cool that they were able to transition to that very well.
<v Speaker 1>So, uh, Shane and Booker out here, And Shane says Booker,
<v Speaker 1>look at this crowd filled to the rafters with self important,
<v Speaker 1>sanct deemonious Hollywood phonies. I mean again, I swore this
<v Speaker 1>was going to be like a face to face with
<v Speaker 1>Arnold or something, or Booker T should have went face
<v Speaker 1>to face with the former. W's be watching David Arquetta
<v Speaker 1>and he says, I can tell by looking in the
<v Speaker 1>eyes of all of you that none of you have
<v Speaker 1>been a fight in your life. And I'm out here
<v Speaker 1>to remind you. In the street fight last week, it's
<v Speaker 1>not important who walks away with their hand raised in victory,
<v Speaker 1>but who walks away period, And last Monday it was
<v Speaker 1>Shane o'mck and Booker T who walked away from that
<v Speaker 1>street fight at the expense of the so called great one,
<v Speaker 1>the Rock. And then he calls for them to show
<v Speaker 1>it on the tron and he says, roll the footage,
<v Speaker 1>and they Shane narrates his footage here, and they showed
<v Speaker 1>the Rock going for the rock bottom and Shane grabs
<v Speaker 1>his leg and Shane says, I have the Rock right here.
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to snap his ankle in two, but then
<v Speaker 1>Booker T wanted to save the Rock's ankle and boomed
<v Speaker 1>de gaundation. Booker says, I would say the the sucker
<v Speaker 1>is the man who got his ass kick last Monday.
<v Speaker 1>And I'd say the suck is the man who is
<v Speaker 1>not the five time WCB champion and the man who's
<v Speaker 1>scared and jealous of Booker T. Rock. I would say,
<v Speaker 1>you're the sucker, Sucker, and then he says, you know, Rock,
<v Speaker 1>you feel only different. You accept my challenge SummerSlam, and uh,
<v Speaker 1>you know the I'll give you everything you got coming
<v Speaker 1>to you. The first thing would be then he does
<v Speaker 1>the scissors kick in the ring like just does it
<v Speaker 1>and says the scissors kick, and he says the second
<v Speaker 1>thing is gonna be the spinner rooney, So he hands
<v Speaker 1>the mic to Shane, does the spinner rooney and then
<v Speaker 1>Shane is right there to give them mic back. One two, three.
<v Speaker 1>Now can you dig that sucker?
<v Speaker 2>If you're some mallo, the rock dunh is cooking WWF
<v Speaker 2>test like pop here, dude, I mean massive. This is
<v Speaker 2>the most over guy by a mile.
<v Speaker 1>He says, well, congratulations, because you're gonna go one on
<v Speaker 1>one with the great One at SummerSlam. And Arnold's fucking
<v Speaker 1>fired up for this. He's clapping in the crowd. He's
<v Speaker 1>he loves the Rock, and Rock says, before you face
<v Speaker 1>the Rock at SummerSlam, he has one question. What in
<v Speaker 1>the blue hell is a spinner Rooney? Who came up
<v Speaker 1>with the spinner Rooney? Fisher Price, Rock says, just so
<v Speaker 1>the Rock understands, the rocks thinking is clear. The Rock
<v Speaker 1>has got the sharp shooter, the rock bottom and the
<v Speaker 1>people's elbow, and you've got the spinner Rooney, the dipsy
<v Speaker 1>Doodle and the suffering suck attash.
<v Speaker 2>If you're some mad.
<v Speaker 1>So, the Rock says, you see Booker t You can
<v Speaker 1>get involved in the Rock street fight on Monday. You
<v Speaker 1>can challenge the Rock on the Rock shows smack down.
<v Speaker 1>You don't have a show. You can come all the
<v Speaker 1>way out here to Hollywood to get your hair done
<v Speaker 1>by Whoopi Gold and Michael Cole laughs so close to
<v Speaker 1>the mic and says get it, and Test says, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I fucking get it here. Jesus Christ.
<v Speaker 2>She was in the Muppet movie.
<v Speaker 1>So is the Rock. No, so was Hogan. But Booker
<v Speaker 1>t All jokes aside, there's nothing and the Rock means
<v Speaker 1>nothing that's gonna stop the Rock from giving the five
<v Speaker 1>time w C champion a five star ass whipping all
<v Speaker 1>over Sommer Slam. But we have one problem. The Rock's
<v Speaker 1>interest is not at Summer Slam. The Rock's interest is tonight.
<v Speaker 1>And Booker says, shit, we could fucking do this right now.
<v Speaker 1>You face shaneo back and Booker t in a handicap match,
<v Speaker 1>and Rock says, I allow the Rock to think for
<v Speaker 1>one second, and that immediately drops the mic and starts
<v Speaker 1>walking down the ramp. Oh fuck, oh shit, yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>get fired off. That was sick as fuck. So Rock's
<v Speaker 1>like circle in the ring. He backs up to the
<v Speaker 1>nouncetable area, He grabs a chair and he slides in,
<v Speaker 1>but they jump him. They get his ass immediately.
<v Speaker 2>Dide I love when like Face tries to hit the ring,
<v Speaker 2>immediately gets stomped out and then fights back towards the end.
<v Speaker 2>It works every time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's the best, and the Rock might be the
<v Speaker 1>best at it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. When he's getting stomped out, he really he's really selling.
<v Speaker 1>And when he's coming up it's flying.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure. His punches are awesome for these.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, Shane stomps him out, gets them in there too.
<v Speaker 1>Booker hits them of the spinkick. Booker slaps the shit
<v Speaker 1>out of him. He's ground and pounded him. UFC's coming,
<v Speaker 1>so you know, Daniel peters around the court. I gotta
<v Speaker 1>get that shit. Sorry to here. Shane picks up the
<v Speaker 1>Rock and Booker has the chair. He's loading him up.
<v Speaker 1>Rock elbows out. He starts firing off shots on Booker,
<v Speaker 1>spinebuster on the chair. Shane glombs Rock from behind, and
<v Speaker 1>Rock gets up starts fucking him up to knocks him
<v Speaker 1>over the top to the floor. But that's not it.
<v Speaker 1>The Rock goes outside, takes off the announced table cover
<v Speaker 1>and Shane's trying to escape through the barricade. Rock chases him,
<v Speaker 1>throws him back to ringside and dude, this is like,
<v Speaker 1>I gotta give it to Shane Man and the Rock too.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, really, anybody did this these announced tables, especially
<v Speaker 1>back in this era, did not look fun to be near,
<v Speaker 1>Like they there's nothing under these things. They're just falling
<v Speaker 1>straight to the floor pretty much. Yeah, that's right, and
<v Speaker 1>that's what happens here. The rock rock Bottom Shane through
<v Speaker 1>the announced table kills them.
<v Speaker 2>If you're some man, team Bringen says, let the bodies
<v Speaker 2>hit the floor.
<v Speaker 1>Oh dude, let the bodies hit the floor. Thing they
<v Speaker 1>hit like six times on this show Man, good lord.
<v Speaker 2>When the rock hits the spinebuster on Booker here, his
<v Speaker 2>head hits right off the back of the fucking chair
<v Speaker 2>in the ring.
<v Speaker 1>It's rough, dude. Yeah, I mean same with the rock
<v Speaker 1>Bottom through the table. Like you can see, they have
<v Speaker 1>to stand directly on the edge of this thing to
<v Speaker 1>not have it crumble under their feet.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean I've seen a few times, i think
<v Speaker 2>where the rock goes up for the rock Bottom and
<v Speaker 2>it just flapses.
<v Speaker 1>Just goes twelve to six. Yeah, like it just falls down.
<v Speaker 1>That sucks. So yeah, brutal rock Bottom here through the table.
<v Speaker 1>To continue the rock Booker t thing, which is I
<v Speaker 1>mean cool. I mean, like again, like this era of
<v Speaker 1>Booker at the beginning of the invasion, where they still
<v Speaker 1>treated him as a top guy. Threat is very cool obviously,
<v Speaker 1>He you know, kind of goes mid card after that
<v Speaker 1>and then comes back up, but you know, always a
<v Speaker 1>key player in my mind.
<v Speaker 2>We go backstage. Perry Saturn is looking for MOPy in
<v Speaker 2>the trash.
<v Speaker 1>This is the most fucked up looking dumpster I've ever seen.
<v Speaker 1>What is this?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it really is. I mean there's a bunch of
<v Speaker 2>random shit in here. I mean this thing was filled
<v Speaker 2>up probably hours and hours and hours.
<v Speaker 1>Ago, just piled up the hell And Terry Renalds walks
<v Speaker 1>up and says, hey, Perry. And Perry says, you see
<v Speaker 1>my Moppy? And Terry says, yeah, I stole it, dumb ass,
<v Speaker 1>Like what happened? He says, you're talking about the same rotten,
<v Speaker 1>stinky mop you chose over me. You lost the mop
<v Speaker 1>the same way you lost me. And by the way,
<v Speaker 1>you're welcome. That's fucked up, fucked up to do my
<v Speaker 1>man here? He just like, how inconsiderate is Terry. He's
<v Speaker 1>just going through some things.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Perry immediately forgets that she was even here
<v Speaker 2>and just starts looking for the mop again.
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised he even remembered that MAPI was gone.
<v Speaker 2>We have Chuck Palumbo and shaan O'Hair versus mystery opponents
<v Speaker 2>w c W Tag Team Title Match. Chuck Plumbo and
<v Speaker 2>shaan o Hair come out here. They have the EA
<v Speaker 2>big theme song.
<v Speaker 1>This song. I actually did like this song, Dan.
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like a song from like a two thousand
<v Speaker 2>and three sports game, like you would be doing mad
<v Speaker 2>and like tryouts or whatever it was. It wasn't tryouts,
<v Speaker 2>it was like practice. It would be like squad Ship.
<v Speaker 2>You would do the mini games and you'd be listening
<v Speaker 2>to the theme song. That sounds like it could be
<v Speaker 2>in the game.
<v Speaker 1>Really, dude, you're right, dude, And I mean I think
<v Speaker 1>we talked about it as before, but Shanaha and Chuck
<v Speaker 1>Palumbo both also look like like you know teen movie
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and one, the bad guys, Yeah really, or
<v Speaker 1>they'd be fighting against the Power Rangers or something.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they would like really be bullying DJ Falls for sure, it.
<v Speaker 1>Would be beating the shit out. He would have get
<v Speaker 1>up on them in the end, like he'd pour like
<v Speaker 1>punch on their heads at the party, but like they'd
<v Speaker 1>be fuck with them for a long time.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, or like they would become friends by the
<v Speaker 2>end or something or.
<v Speaker 1>Oh sure that's true.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, some deal like that. So the Pirro goes off
<v Speaker 2>here for this match, and the opponents are Kine, Undertaker,
<v Speaker 2>and Sarah.
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to figure out for a second. I
<v Speaker 1>was like, Okay, this could be like a haha match,
<v Speaker 1>right they send out somebody just for these dudes to
<v Speaker 1>beat up, And I was like, DDP and Canyon just
<v Speaker 1>won the belts. This is probably a title change. Uh oh.
<v Speaker 1>And then just as I figured it out, Kane and
<v Speaker 1>fucking Taker come out. Uh and I mean Shaana Haroon,
<v Speaker 1>chucklomoself is great like SHAWNA. Harris immediately trying to get
<v Speaker 1>the belts back from the referees because he doesn't want
<v Speaker 1>to do the match.
<v Speaker 2>He saw Fred Durst on the tron, got scared, keep
<v Speaker 2>rolling and rolling rolling.
<v Speaker 1>This is sick.
<v Speaker 2>I love this entrance.
<v Speaker 1>Kane should have came out, as I mentioned before, on
<v Speaker 1>the back of the bike, dude.
<v Speaker 2>Full mask Kane with the transparent tank.
<v Speaker 1>His mask was also exceptionally red.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it was full mask. I don't know, maybe I'm
<v Speaker 2>just not used to seeing that too often, but uh yeah, interesting.
<v Speaker 2>Look here for the Big Man He's fucking huge. He
<v Speaker 2>is massive.
<v Speaker 1>It's unreal Takers here to uh he's here to be
<v Speaker 1>here with Sarah, his wife. And if these guys do
<v Speaker 1>anything out of line, especially if it comes to hitting
<v Speaker 1>me in the head with a chair, they will be
<v Speaker 1>hearing about it my wife. We need the Sarah Taker
<v Speaker 1>podcast instead.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let me hear that, hosted by Chuck Balumba, his wife.
<v Speaker 2>Caine and Chuck Plombo start off and Kine somehow makes
<v Speaker 2>this dude look small. I mean, Chuck Palumbo is huge.
<v Speaker 1>I mean two thousand and one. Kine is a fucking monster.
<v Speaker 2>He must have been eaten goddamn five thousand calories a day,
<v Speaker 2>like unreal, man, he was massive. So Chuck Palumbo and
<v Speaker 2>shot out hair hit a combo here on Kane, ending
<v Speaker 2>with a big line from Palombo to take down Kane.
<v Speaker 2>I always thought it was funny that the WCW guys
<v Speaker 2>are always working up to the WWF guys no matter.
<v Speaker 1>What, every time, dude, every single time, Like I get it,
<v Speaker 1>But like damn, there wasn't a hint of anybody ever
<v Speaker 1>saying maybe we should like try to make this feel
<v Speaker 1>a little equal, Like I know, we don't have fucking
<v Speaker 1>Sting and Goldberg. But maybe we can pretend for a
<v Speaker 1>secondly like that.
<v Speaker 2>That was probably what they were thinking, right, Like well,
<v Speaker 2>I mean if Scott Seiner was here or right, Scott
<v Speaker 2>Hall or something short thing, but like not these guys
<v Speaker 2>Mike Sanders boys, I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which there is an argument for both, right, Like
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know Sean O'Hare and Chuck Palumbo are
<v Speaker 1>not Canaan Undertaker, but god damn man.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, I guess you know, if you looked at
<v Speaker 2>it with a little bit of you know, objectivity, I
<v Speaker 2>guess you know, like came, it's huge, etcetera, etcetera.
<v Speaker 1>But Taker is the fucking Undertaker of course.
<v Speaker 2>Right yeah. And Sarah Taker, it's just why she's he
<v Speaker 2>here dressed out like Jimmie Hayter.
<v Speaker 1>There's two signs in the crowd that two guys are holding.
<v Speaker 1>One says I could have made a better sign, and
<v Speaker 1>his boys sign says but then I got.
<v Speaker 2>High A classic read this. So Taker comes in. He
<v Speaker 2>hit some sort of supplex on shin o hair here.
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck was that? Like I wrote, hits a
<v Speaker 1>spinebuster's back suplex? What?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it just does some sort of deal here gets
<v Speaker 2>him up and he just goes for it. Taker goes up.
<v Speaker 2>He hits old school. Don't exactly understand why, I never
<v Speaker 2>really do you.
<v Speaker 1>You've talked about it a few times, and I really,
<v Speaker 1>I guess I've just never thought of it.
<v Speaker 2>Like there's probably some answer here. I just don't know
<v Speaker 2>what it is.
<v Speaker 1>His dad did it?
<v Speaker 2>Just something? Yeah, right, obscure. I'm sure there's mom did it? Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>oh hair lines take her over, but take her lands
<v Speaker 2>on his feet and pulls her hair out to kick
<v Speaker 2>his ass. Plumbo jumps off the apron and takes down Taker,
<v Speaker 2>but Kane cleans up. O'Hare uses a chair when the
<v Speaker 2>ref's back is turned, and then Taker hits a DDT
<v Speaker 2>for the double down.
<v Speaker 1>Sean O'Hare hits Taker in the head as nicely as
<v Speaker 1>you can hit somebody in the head with the chair
<v Speaker 1>if they're not putting their hands up, like this was
<v Speaker 1>a please, I'm on your team, Please, we're cool. Headshot
<v Speaker 1>like he tried his hardest there, and I you know,
<v Speaker 1>it was very nice of them.
<v Speaker 2>Kane hot tags in. He hits a cane line Clean's house.
<v Speaker 2>Kane double goozles the champs, but they reversed into a
<v Speaker 2>double supplex, but Taker comes in, stops the double sue plex,
<v Speaker 2>helps Cane down and they hit stereo choke slams on
<v Speaker 2>the champs for the three count. Kine and Undertaker are
<v Speaker 2>the new WCW Tag Champions.
<v Speaker 1>There was not even a chance, like even a slight
<v Speaker 1>hint of Shan o'haon and Trplumba winning this match, like
<v Speaker 1>not even like they hit some bullshit on Caine, like
<v Speaker 1>them with the title and get a pin. No falsees
<v Speaker 1>for these fucking guys. Fuck WCW caanaan Taker on top.
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the fed bitch, Welcome to the big leagues.
<v Speaker 1>Boys.
<v Speaker 2>I'll put you in the tree. That's my husband, Undertaker boom.
<v Speaker 1>Fred Durst actually wanted to be a song for Kane,
<v Speaker 1>but it just ended up a little hand me down.
<v Speaker 2>R C Cola w W Free Wine. Stephanie McMahon gets
<v Speaker 2>pied on raw and also there's a guy in a
<v Speaker 2>gorilla suit in the ring.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't they didn't explain any of this.
<v Speaker 2>They didn't even they didn't even mention it. Like it
<v Speaker 2>shows Chris Jerkers standing here with a guy in a
<v Speaker 2>gorilla suit and then he pies Stephanie McMahon and that's it.
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Arci Cola.
<v Speaker 1>Arcie Colin thought the Monkey and the Pie was awesome. Yeah, okay, cool?
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck?
<v Speaker 1>Jerker says the Alliance might not have the rock, but
<v Speaker 1>you can have the pie, and he hits over with
<v Speaker 1>the pie anyway, drink Arci Cola.
<v Speaker 2>Good? What the absolute fun just happened?
<v Speaker 1>And there's a follow up segment where they also don't
<v Speaker 1>explain it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we go backstage. Hugh Morris is here, Hugh Morris.
<v Speaker 1>Hugh Morris gets fucking smacked down TV Time. Are you
<v Speaker 1>out of your mind? They? This is such dude, This
<v Speaker 1>is such a fucking WWF thing too. They couldn't just
<v Speaker 1>do Chris Jericho versus Hu Morris. I need a fucking
<v Speaker 1>Humoris Stephaniemanvan backstage segment to explain to me that Hugh
<v Speaker 1>Morris is on Team WCW and he's gonna wrestle a
<v Speaker 1>team WF. Guy, I get it.
<v Speaker 2>What I don't get is whatever they just showed me.
<v Speaker 1>Where was the monkey? Can we explain the monkey? I'd
<v Speaker 1>rather TV Time for that than fucking Hugh Morris. It's
<v Speaker 1>just still his name somehow. Yeah, fucking Stephanie's watching the
<v Speaker 1>TV in the Stephanie McMahon room, and Hugh Morris walks
<v Speaker 1>in because he's just allowed to walk into the Stephanie
<v Speaker 1>McMahon room, I guess, and he says, hey, I didn't
<v Speaker 1>like what Jericho did. I never liked that guy, and
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna make him paygahnight, And then seventy says, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>jerk's going down tonight, and Hugh says, how do you
<v Speaker 1>think he made those monkeys do that? And he leaves
<v Speaker 1>do what dude? What did he do? They bought the pies,
<v Speaker 1>the monkeys. Why do you explain to me this angle?
<v Speaker 1>Explain the monkeys?
<v Speaker 2>Well, SmackDown is brought to you by corn nuts, Corn
<v Speaker 2>gone wrong, the surprisingly hardcore corn snacked.
<v Speaker 1>Like damn okay man, Yeah, like yeah, watch corn jerk
<v Speaker 1>off the corn.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that's an aggressively late nineties deal here,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, good god. Yeah. Absolutely, So we have Chris
<v Speaker 2>Jericho versus Hugh Morris.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you know what they're calling Chris Jericho at least
<v Speaker 1>what Michael Cole says that he is what he's the
<v Speaker 1>flamboyant vigilante.
<v Speaker 2>Uh I thought he was a Jericho Hollock.
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck? Like, yeah, what, Yeah, that'll catch on
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. There.
<v Speaker 2>There's a fucking great shot here of Jericho's tron as
<v Speaker 2>it backs out to him on the ramp. It looked godly.
<v Speaker 2>I love that good.
<v Speaker 1>I reckon like the ovaltron set, Like I remember that
<v Speaker 1>Jericho shot more than most entrances in that era.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, it looked awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah sick.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I guess Jericho is gonna be working Hugh
<v Speaker 2>Morris tonight. Fuck the rock won't work at Humorris.
<v Speaker 4>You know what I mean?
<v Speaker 1>Like that's like I get it right, like Slim Pickens
<v Speaker 1>not everyone came over from w CW. But like no
<v Speaker 1>land Storm's here.
<v Speaker 2>Well, Hugh Morris hot starts on Chris Jericho here, but
<v Speaker 2>Jericho hits him with a big line and then elbows
<v Speaker 2>him right on the top of his head.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, he blitzes them.
<v Speaker 2>Bulldog here from Jericho. Jericho goes for the Lions Salt,
<v Speaker 2>but Hugh Morris gets the legs up. Morris hits a
<v Speaker 2>belly to belly here for a two. I was surprised
<v Speaker 2>even got Jericho down, to be honest, Morris goes for
<v Speaker 2>a power bomb, but Jericho rolls through into the walls
<v Speaker 2>of Jericho and he taps out.
<v Speaker 1>You suck. Jecko looks out and says, your company died.
<v Speaker 1>He did a lion Tamer style.
<v Speaker 2>Too, Yeah, he did it. Looked great. It shows a replay.
<v Speaker 2>Jericho is now up by the ramp and uh we hear.
<v Speaker 2>Of course for some reason, Rhino's TNA music, Gore's.
<v Speaker 1>Billy gunn.
<v Speaker 2>So Rhino's here at the ramp to meet Jericho. Of course,
<v Speaker 2>he glombs Jericho. He sue plexes him on the ramp
<v Speaker 2>and we get one of the biggest moments. To me
<v Speaker 2>at least, I'm not sure how you feel about it,
<v Speaker 2>but this is a big SmackDown like oval Era moment
<v Speaker 2>to me.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, one hundred percent, dude. I mean this is a
<v Speaker 1>you know, we talk about moments that are intro video
<v Speaker 1>worthy and this like this is definitely one of them,
<v Speaker 1>like crazy shot in retrospect. Pretty silly for what it
<v Speaker 1>like why they did it, but cool as fuck.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So, Rhino souplexes Jericho on the ramp, He backs up,
<v Speaker 2>does his taunt, and then Rhino gores Jericho through the stage.
<v Speaker 1>Dude right through the video wall, puts them right through
<v Speaker 1>it craz like really cool visual. The wall fucking falls over,
<v Speaker 1>like these dudes are laying in this pile of just
<v Speaker 1>rubble dead. Commentary slipping out test is why to j
<v Speaker 1>just got Gordon to the next millennium. Shut his mouth.
<v Speaker 2>Jericho takes it great here too. This looks awesome, dude.
<v Speaker 1>It flails his arms back like fully just sent into
<v Speaker 1>the screen. Very cool, they replay. It looks sick as hell. Yeah, dude,
<v Speaker 1>this is a I mean, this is a something I
<v Speaker 1>vividly remember for some reason in my brain though I
<v Speaker 1>remember it being like a lot bigger of a like
<v Speaker 1>fall here than it was like going through just a screen.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thought it look cool though, No, it was
<v Speaker 2>cool shit.
<v Speaker 1>And another thing I don't remember about it was that
<v Speaker 1>it didn't end the show.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, it was just right here in the middle.
<v Speaker 1>So not only does it I mean we'll talk about
<v Speaker 1>it just jump ahead a little bit, but not only
<v Speaker 1>does this not end the show, but they just put
<v Speaker 1>it back up.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you know.
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck? I like, I thought, like, Okay, that's
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like be broken for the rest of the night,
<v Speaker 1>and then they'll you know, we get it. As we mentioned, earlier.
<v Speaker 1>We get a whole new not only backdrop. We get
<v Speaker 1>a whole new stage next week, which unnecessary. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad they did it because it's one of the
<v Speaker 1>best ever, but didn't need to for this. They just
<v Speaker 1>very easily put this screen back up. This didn't really
<v Speaker 1>have any impact whatsoever.
<v Speaker 2>We go backstage. Stephanie comes up to Rhino and says,
<v Speaker 2>that was fucking awesome. Due was like all the time,
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck? How did you guys die?
<v Speaker 1>That's right, motherfucker. I want Jericho at summer slap fuck.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you do. You wrestle him every week if you
<v Speaker 1>want to do that shit. That sounds kick ass. I'm
<v Speaker 1>gonna watch that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, you're awesome. We go backstage. Perry Saturn in
<v Speaker 2>ring gear is now talking to the police.
<v Speaker 1>He's talking to the cops. He called the cops to
<v Speaker 1>put out a missing person's report on MOPy, and the
<v Speaker 1>cop is asking him, oh shit, like you got a
<v Speaker 1>picture of this person, And Perry of course has a
<v Speaker 1>picture of Moppy in his gear, which he pulls out
<v Speaker 1>and shows of the cop, and the guy says, this
<v Speaker 1>is a mop. You called us out here for a mop,
<v Speaker 1>and Perry says, yes, Moppy c. Mcmoperson, and you guys
<v Speaker 1>have to help me find her.
<v Speaker 2>I never knew Moppy's full name.
<v Speaker 1>Moppy c mcmopperson. They should have put that in the
<v Speaker 1>game as well.
<v Speaker 2>Why not, dude. By the way, this whole deal here
<v Speaker 2>felt like a SpongeBob scene.
<v Speaker 1>That is a fantastic way to put it. Yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>mean it's it's actually pretty well done.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, it's funny.
<v Speaker 1>The second guy says, we'll give you a call when
<v Speaker 1>we hear something, and Perry says thank you, thank you,
<v Speaker 1>and second cop says, no, thank you, Perry. They walk away.
<v Speaker 1>It pans up to Perry's face. You're welcome. I will
<v Speaker 1>spoil here for those that might not know, because I
<v Speaker 1>guess there's a chance that nobody has any goddamn clue
<v Speaker 1>what MOPy is. This leads to Raven, who has not
<v Speaker 1>only taken Perry Sadden's ex girlfriend or valet. I guess
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what they actually were. Raven puts MOPy
<v Speaker 1>through a wood chipper.
<v Speaker 2>Ah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we haven't watched that though, so well, we'll get
<v Speaker 1>there eventually. But that's where it goes. That's who Terry
<v Speaker 1>stole Moppy and Raven kills MOPy and then goes Perry's
<v Speaker 1>career as well.
<v Speaker 2>So now it's time for the main event, Dudley Boys
<v Speaker 2>and Steve Austin versus Hardy Boys and Kurt Angle elimination
<v Speaker 2>tag team.
<v Speaker 1>Match, big fucking match. Dude.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Steve Austin has the disturbed theme here with the
<v Speaker 2>red ring jacket. I love that fucking hard.
<v Speaker 1>I mean this this guy is mean, dude. Like it's
<v Speaker 1>even funnier because he's like kind of a chicken shit,
<v Speaker 1>but this guy is like so fucking sick and I
<v Speaker 1>love that, dude. Yeah, And this is where I'm like, yeah, wow,
<v Speaker 1>they just put the video wall back up and there's
<v Speaker 1>stuff playing on it, like they didn't really break anything
<v Speaker 1>when Ronald Gordon's guy through this. That sucks.
<v Speaker 2>It's a good fucking chance. Also, they just recorded it like.
<v Speaker 1>Cold, oh, like out of Oh yeah that's true, that's true. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Kirk comes out here, he's got the straps down.
<v Speaker 1>He is fucking jacked, dude, jacked and over and he's
<v Speaker 1>only been here for what maybe two years if that?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, he came in the same time as Taz.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dude, Like fucking shit, he is a top guy
<v Speaker 1>already like toe to toe at Austin, not even a
<v Speaker 1>blink of that being something weird like he's super I mean,
<v Speaker 1>what a what a run he already had here?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Also Angle gets a lot of pyro.
<v Speaker 1>Tons of pyro dude, Yeah, I mean cool this single.
<v Speaker 1>It's not uh one that I really remember though, just
<v Speaker 1>full like dark blue.
<v Speaker 2>I actually do remember this one for some reason. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>default kind of deal. Oh sure, okay, So Kurt wants
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin of course to get in the ring, but
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin stands on the apron and smiles at Kurt.
<v Speaker 2>Funny shot.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Dude's Austin wants nothing to do with that. So
<v Speaker 1>Kurt and Bubba will start of course.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Kurt tags out to Matt, and then Bubba tags
<v Speaker 2>in Steve Austin. I thought that was funny as shit.
<v Speaker 1>Austin gives him no time to like fix that situation either.
<v Speaker 1>Austin tags in and immediately runs into lock up with
<v Speaker 1>Matt and puts Matt in a very long side headlock
<v Speaker 1>where he stares at Kurt with the shittiest look on
<v Speaker 1>his face. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I love this little interaction here. So Matt tries to
<v Speaker 2>go over to tag in Kurt, and then Steve Austin
<v Speaker 2>kicks Kurt's hand. Kurt comes in, and then Steve drags
<v Speaker 2>Matt to the corner and everyone comes in and they
<v Speaker 2>start kicking his ass.
<v Speaker 1>What Matt's ass?
<v Speaker 2>Dude?
<v Speaker 1>This is so fucking shitty. Man Like Austin and Dudley's
<v Speaker 1>are a good little trio.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thought this was awesome already right off.
<v Speaker 1>Rip.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Devon tags in and Matt hits a neck breaker
<v Speaker 2>and tags in Jeff. They hit poetry in motion for
<v Speaker 2>a two very cool Bubba blind tags in and Devon
<v Speaker 2>drops down and Bubba just destroys Jeff with a line.
<v Speaker 1>Here.
<v Speaker 2>They were snug in this main.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess you know which is fucking one. Like
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned about the APA, that shit always makes me
<v Speaker 1>way more locked in on the match too. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>Dudley's and Hardy's have been killing each other for two
<v Speaker 1>years now as well, right, so I imagine they're pretty
<v Speaker 1>familiar with we gotta throw here. Especially in the main.
<v Speaker 2>Bubba and Devon then double flapjack Jeff and they almost
<v Speaker 2>lose him in the lights.
<v Speaker 1>I swear, dude, I swear we've seen this happen before,
<v Speaker 1>and I swear we talked about it was like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>I thought they were going for a back body drop
<v Speaker 1>and they turned into a flapjack and Jeff like almost died.
<v Speaker 1>This might be a Jeff Hardy spot.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I definitely think it is, cause like it's.
<v Speaker 1>Scary as shit, man, Like, it looks like he's coming,
<v Speaker 1>he's flipping for the back body and he comes down
<v Speaker 1>crazy on his shoulder like, And it wouldn't put it
<v Speaker 1>past me that that was on purpose.
<v Speaker 2>Jeff hits the whisper in the wind for a double down.
<v Speaker 2>Kurt comes in, he cleans house with a huge line
<v Speaker 2>on Bubba and a belly to belly on Devon. It's funny.
<v Speaker 2>The line he hit on Bubba here reminded me of
<v Speaker 2>how Trevor Lee would do his line.
<v Speaker 1>Dude, okay, that's so funny you say that the fucking
<v Speaker 1>I mean Austin and the Dudley's here reminded me of
<v Speaker 1>Priest and Drevor a lot.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's great. The Hardys do house shows. This leaves
<v Speaker 2>Kurt and Devon in the ring. Devon goes for saving Grace,
<v Speaker 2>Kurt flips out and picks his leg locks in the
<v Speaker 2>ankle lock, and Devon taps out, being the first one
<v Speaker 2>eliminated in this match.
<v Speaker 1>I love that. I thought the counter looked awesome. Kurt, like,
<v Speaker 1>flipping over out of what is essentially a reverse duplex
<v Speaker 1>looks pretty nuts. Like Kurt's a big dude to be
<v Speaker 1>flipping backwards like that. I know he does the moon
<v Speaker 1>saw and shit, but you know, standing is nuts. Picks
<v Speaker 1>the ankle pick getting such a reaction is like, I
<v Speaker 1>think that's awesome. And he like a crowd coming up
<v Speaker 1>for the beginning of a submission means you're over his shit.
<v Speaker 2>Bubba comes in and starts chopping down Kurt. Immediately, Matt
<v Speaker 2>comes in and takes down Bubba with a line off
<v Speaker 2>the top for two. Austin hits Matt, Bubba grabs Matt
<v Speaker 2>into the Bubba Bomb hits it three count. Matt Hardy
<v Speaker 2>is now eliminated.
<v Speaker 1>Kind of surprised, you know, I guess maybe you know,
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have another move and maybe Bubba was just
<v Speaker 1>doing that, But I didn't think the Bubba Bomb would
<v Speaker 1>do it. They didn't even have a name yet. They
<v Speaker 1>just said, oh, he fucking in with the Bubba move.
<v Speaker 2>Dude. Matt gets hang time on this move too. He
<v Speaker 2>really gets up there.
<v Speaker 1>That's gotta suck.
<v Speaker 2>We go to commercial and come back. Bubba misses a
<v Speaker 2>sent on off the second classic. Jeff goes up, hits
<v Speaker 2>the swanton bomb, fucking crunches this dude.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Jeff lands on him with full ass
<v Speaker 1>like he he smothers this dude with it man and
<v Speaker 1>he he goes for the cover by that old rattlesnake,
<v Speaker 1>pulls the ref out of the ring, son of a bitch.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So Steve Austin pulls the ref on the two.
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin then hits a stunner on Jeff Hardy, who
<v Speaker 2>eats shit on it.
<v Speaker 1>Jeff dies, Austin gets caught up in his shirt because
<v Speaker 1>Jeff's shirt is all just caught up in bullshit, and uh,
<v Speaker 1>I mean very Austin. I don't I don't know if
<v Speaker 1>Austin's ever talked about working with the Hardy's, but I
<v Speaker 1>actually always really liked him working with him too.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Steve Austin was locked in at this point too,
<v Speaker 2>for sure. So Bubba covers Jeff. The ref comes in.
<v Speaker 2>It's a three count. It is now Kurt Angle versus
<v Speaker 2>Bubba and Steve Austin.
<v Speaker 1>That's some shut your mouth shit.
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin is being chased by Kurt Angle around the ring.
<v Speaker 2>He comes in, he gets out of the way, and
<v Speaker 2>Bubba hits a huge line on Kurt here to take
<v Speaker 2>him down. Fuck fucking good too, Yeah, good stooge and man, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>good shit Here Bubba beats him down, then tags into
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin, who comes in and chokes Kurt Angle. He
<v Speaker 2>literally just gets on top of him starts choking him
<v Speaker 2>to death.
<v Speaker 1>Double goosele on the ground.
<v Speaker 2>So Austin Kurt trade blows here and then Austin hits
<v Speaker 2>a huge fucking thes press. Good god, dude, the camera
<v Speaker 2>shot was awesome.
<v Speaker 1>Austin gets mega height. He must have had plus three
<v Speaker 1>hundred stats in TK. He gets so high up there
<v Speaker 1>on this luthez and I thought he was gonna jump
<v Speaker 1>over Kurt.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. He goes into the elbow with theatrics for a
<v Speaker 2>two count here. Incredible camera work. Yeah, it just looked awesome.
<v Speaker 2>Austin curder locked in. Austin hits a spinebuster here on
<v Speaker 2>Kurt for a two stuff. Just great beats here where
<v Speaker 2>Austin is pissed that Kirk keeps fighting back and yeah,
<v Speaker 2>just good stuff here all around.
<v Speaker 1>And now I'm gonna do Chris Jarrich goes finish.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so Austin locks in a Boston crowd. Wow, holy fuck. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>So Kurt flips his legs out in this Boston crab
<v Speaker 2>and Austin goes head first into the ground.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. He like Kurt must have been super strong on
<v Speaker 1>the pole or something, or Austin was in a weird angle.
<v Speaker 1>He lands right on his head.
<v Speaker 2>Kurt goes for the ankle lock here, but Bubba just
<v Speaker 2>instantly breaks it up.
<v Speaker 1>Kicks him fucking so hard in the head.
<v Speaker 3>Dude.
<v Speaker 2>It's a main event, man, this time, you get it together.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I like this, And now it's time for me
<v Speaker 1>to Germany on your fucking head.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So Bubba tags in and Kurt throws Bubba into Austin.
<v Speaker 2>It hits a German souplex here for a double down.
<v Speaker 1>I love especially Bubba. I'll give him credit here. I
<v Speaker 1>love a fat guy taking to German like, if you can,
<v Speaker 1>it's brutal, dude. It always looks nuts, and if you
<v Speaker 1>can get up for it, it looks insane. Like Kurt
<v Speaker 1>gets lost behind him.
<v Speaker 2>Bubba goes for the tag here, but Kurt grabs Bubba
<v Speaker 2>and hits another German suplex to keep him from the corner.
<v Speaker 1>Dude. Bubba then counters a whip and Kurt crushes his
<v Speaker 1>face with a flying forearm.
<v Speaker 2>Kurt punches Bubba down, he throws himself at him with
<v Speaker 2>a line I love that grave babyface, desperation, Just fantastic stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Kurt hits a belly to belly to Austin and then
<v Speaker 2>an Olympic slam on. Bubba gets the three counts. So
<v Speaker 2>now it's down to Kurt and Austin.
<v Speaker 1>Let's go get this son of a bench Kurt.
<v Speaker 2>Austin comes in immediately and Kurt takes his ankle and
<v Speaker 2>he's tapping out man right away.
<v Speaker 1>He gets them, but the ref is trying to give
<v Speaker 1>Bubba out of the fucking ring. Oh you bastard, Oh you.
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I was, I was looking, I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>I was mad. For a second.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, whoa, what the fuck dude? I love that.
<v Speaker 2>Austin just immediately tapped out, like he put the ankle
<v Speaker 2>lock in and like all of Austin's like badass personage
<v Speaker 2>is instantly left. And he just tapped out immediately.
<v Speaker 1>That was good, fantastic.
<v Speaker 2>Dude Devon comes in with a chair and destroys Angle
<v Speaker 2>with it a great cell here from Angle.
<v Speaker 1>Kills Kurt with his chair, and you would think that,
<v Speaker 1>like they show the ref is distracted and Devon hits
<v Speaker 1>on the chair, you would think devivone would just leave. No,
<v Speaker 1>the ref turns around and then they all continue to
<v Speaker 1>beat the fuck at a curt Angle.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Bubba and Devon pick up Angle. Steve Austin on
<v Speaker 2>one leg hits him with a stunner. He was selling
<v Speaker 2>this so well. I thought he was fucking hurt.
<v Speaker 1>He's legit limping. Yeah, he sold this tremendously. I also
<v Speaker 1>wasn't sure if the match was over, Like I was like, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>this has to be done, but they don't think they
<v Speaker 1>call for the bell.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm gonna just chalk it up to a no contest. Sure,
<v Speaker 2>Bubby and Devon hit the three D on Kurt Angle.
<v Speaker 1>Dude Austin hits the stunner. He's laying on the ground
<v Speaker 1>because his leg hurts, and he looks up at the
<v Speaker 1>Dudley's give him the three D. They just do it.
<v Speaker 1>They do it cold no Irish whip by the way.
<v Speaker 2>Steve Austin then puts a chair on Kurt's ankle and
<v Speaker 2>he pilmanizes his ankle.
<v Speaker 1>Kurt ankle.
<v Speaker 2>Get pilmanized, bitch, that's my boy.
<v Speaker 1>Stomps the ship I did with him. I could do this.
<v Speaker 1>He did it to me, and I did it to him.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, stops the share of his chair off. The
<v Speaker 1>second crushes at Kurt's ankle. Kurt ankle, and then the
<v Speaker 1>Hardy's come out for the save and uh, dude again,
<v Speaker 1>very I mean very little thing. Just what a piece
<v Speaker 1>of shit. Hardy's come out for the save. The Dudley
<v Speaker 1>stands to fight, and Austin immediately powders.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean, come on, he's locked in, dick, so
<v Speaker 2>Angle is saying it's broke, it's broken to the.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure.
<v Speaker 2>They just put him on a stretcher and just fucking
<v Speaker 2>just on the stretcher and we'll get you out of here.
<v Speaker 1>Put him on a stretcher and you can see it.
<v Speaker 1>The Austin and Dudley's are like around the ring post laughing.
<v Speaker 2>So Steve Austin grabs a mic and starts talking ship
<v Speaker 2>to Kurt.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, you ain't such a hero. Now are you?
<v Speaker 1>You ain't so tough now are your Kurt? Hey, you
<v Speaker 1>ain't so tough? Are you? Come here?
<v Speaker 2>He?
<v Speaker 1>Auston drops down. He's full limping. He's limping up the ram,
<v Speaker 1>chasing after Kurt as they fucking push a stretcher up
<v Speaker 1>the ramp to take this broken legged guy up to
<v Speaker 1>the back. He's limping. Look at you, come here, hey, Kurt,
<v Speaker 1>I bledge a legic. Turn the flag out out of
<v Speaker 1>the United States of America and to the Republic. Oh
<v Speaker 1>that's a bunch of.
<v Speaker 2>Grab He's gonna get some heat.
<v Speaker 1>He says, go get that, some bitch, and then Dudley's
<v Speaker 1>run up the rim and attack the Hardy's. Austin is
<v Speaker 1>limping up to Kurt while the Hardy's and Dudley's fight
<v Speaker 1>around the stretcher, and Austin looks down at him, look
<v Speaker 1>at you, the red, white and blue. You ain't such
<v Speaker 1>a hero now, and he flips the stretcher over and
<v Speaker 1>starts stopping him out of the stage. Pleasure to the flag.
<v Speaker 1>Oh he not it Stage of America, stopping him with
<v Speaker 1>each word, this is a piece of trash. Kurt's laying there,
<v Speaker 1>Austin's running him down and then Kurt picks the ankle.
<v Speaker 1>Kurt picks the fuck ankle, gets tough, the ankle lock.
<v Speaker 1>Austin is immediately tapping out on the top of Oh
<v Speaker 1>my god, Oh my god, I love this ship. Dude.
<v Speaker 2>Did Kurt grabbing the ankle and then putting him in
<v Speaker 2>the ankle lock on one knee was good stuff? Yeah? Fuck?
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was legit perfect, like tremendous piece of business, Like, yeah, fantastic, dude. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Bubba attacks Kurt, Jeff attacks Bubba. We get the split
<v Speaker 1>with the Jeff's trying to hold Kurt back because Kurt's
<v Speaker 1>obviously hurt and Austin is fucking laid out. He's hurt.
<v Speaker 1>The last thing you see is Austin, no microphone on
<v Speaker 1>his side, staring and pointing at Kurt, who's fuming like seething.
<v Speaker 1>Kurt wants Austin, and Austin looks at him and he
<v Speaker 1>points and says, I broke your leg. I broke your
<v Speaker 1>damn leg.
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna get some heat now.
<v Speaker 1>He is the heat meister, dude. I say what you will,
