We are gonna be talking about w w E SmackDown for July twenty fifth,
two thousand too. Oh yes, the debut of I guess, a bunch
of people on SmackDown, but more specifically the debut of Ray Mysterio in the
WWE, and a bunch of other shit on the SmackDown. Surprisingly, is
this the first? Uh, this is not the first SmackDown plays brand split?
Is it? No? No, it is not. No, this
is a new era in w w So this is the first GM. Yeah,
this is the first SmackDown after Vince and Flair are not the GMS anymore.
Oh, okay, yeah, Bischoff and Stephanie have been appointed the GM.
So this is the first Stephanie SmackDown. Yeah. In my brain.
This is a very important era of WWE. I think as a fan,
I was super fucking locked in at the time, dude. I mean,
I can see why because they make a lot of statements on this show.
They do, and like everyone is is pretty booked to their to their strengths,
I think. And we're going into the SmackDown six era, which obviously
is just a good era, mostly because they try to like retrain SmackDown fans
to be like into the actual storytelling in the ring. Yeah. Yeah,
like these matches are actually saying something like the finishes matter, et cetera,
et cetera in that regard, and it's very exciting. You're right, Raymisterio
debuts and of course we have rock Lesnar making his SmackDown debut on this episode
two, and we have a main event of edging Christ Jericho. We will
talk about all that later on here on the show. First, we have
the Deadlock updates watch this on the Patreon. We have the Just the War.
Sorry I'm sorry. The Wolves are taking on the American Hardy's and Team
three D in a ladder war. Yeah. And this was like a this
was impact, but it was also a paper no sacrifice. Yeah, that's
right, it was one of those. It wasn't no sacrifice. What was
that called sacrifice? Pressure? Oh, it's no surrender. No sacrifices is
something they're running next week. Sacrifice Yeah, Ladder Match. It's on the
Patreon. Most importantly Final Tier. Get over there, watch that and watch

We have Colby Carino, Mesado Tanaka and a No DQ match, a match
that has been waiting to happen for over twenty years now, which is crazy
because Colby is only like twenty six or twenty seven. It's also crazy that
it's happening for us. Yeah, you're right in Durham. And we also
have Calvin Tankman versus Speedball Mike Bailey Champion versus Champion Special Challenge. If Speedball
wins the match, he gets he becomes the world champion, and if Calvin
Tateman wins, he gets a guaranteed tax ting title shot with the partner is
choosing whenever he wants. If I'm not mistaken, that's also a first time
match. Yeah, I think so, I don't. I'm not sure if
Tankman and Speedball has ever happened before, unless unless cage match just doesn't have
it. But I don't think that's happened before. Yeah, that's all very
exciting stuff. And we've got we got Captain's fall match on the show,
very first one in DPW history. We have a just it's a stack show.

For July twenty fifth, two thousand and two. We are on Stephanie
McMahon SmackDown. M Yes, the uh A change of an era, a
company reset, you could see, which we're We're gonna get into a little
bit here with the Wrestling Observer newsletter to find out what was going on in
the wrestling world at the time. With The Observer from July twenty second,
two thousand and two, WWE hit the reset button for about the seventh time
over the past year, with the news storyline of Feuding Raw and SmackDown General
Managers, featuring the debut of Eric Bischoff on the seven to fifteen Raw in
New Jersey, and the new storyline, Vincent Gann will phase down his television
presence, with Bischoff playing the slimy heeled GM of Raw and Semphi McMahon playing
the more of a ruthless baby face GM of SmackDown. The idea of the
new storyline is that the rosters will be shaken up, with both sides making
trades and also rating the other roster, so there will be a more frequent
change of the talent mix. The Feuding gmstoreline was an idea those in the
company are crediting to Vince McMahon, not Russo, because Russo was in the
company until like right now, who came up with it right after the last
reset just five weeks earlier, when Vince destroyed the feuding Owners gimmick in a
desperate move, killing the flare As owner storyline, and that too an attempt
to take away focus from Stone Cold leaving the company, which also just happened
right King of the ring qualifier. Yeah, you which I thought. So
you posted a picture of that. I was like, is that is that
now? That? That was just very I guess definitely it was now,
But yeah, I guess, yeah, I guess you're right. Not not
on today's episode. No, no, no, no, no, it
was on I guess the role just before this. But I always loved that
the roll SmackDown feuding with each other was very, very fun. Bischoff appeared
on Raw after him and McMahon had struck a secret deal about ten days earlier.
The two sides had talked last summer. I didn't know. I don't
know if I knew about this. If if I did, I forgot.
The two sides had talked last summer during the original Invasion angle. At the
time, w only wanted to bring Bischoff for a one month program in July
for a singles match with Vince McMahon at the Invasion pay per view, which
McMahon would win. Bischoff turned down the deal since it wasn't to build his
character but just an ego driven blowoff, and also because Bischoff wasn't enough shape
to do a match that quickly, which I respect, but it was probably
more the fucking first part. Yeah, I love I did too, I
did too good spot for him. Yeah, I mean he is a fucker
and he looks like what at the end of the show when it comes out
the limb. Oh, he's such a pray you know who reminds me of
fucking Hoffman from Saul Oh. Yeah with that because he's got the dies back
here and yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, it's somebody's face structure.
If Bischof was as built as Hoffman, that'd be crazy. Wow,
you're right what he would be. He'd that doesn't happen often, where like
the owner is a guy that can kick everyone's ass. Does that ever happen?
I don't know. We did see that one where Evan Courage just started
getting beat up by the raff. That's kind of close a fed where all
the staff are actually like stronger and more powerful than the talent. I like
that, stay on your check, Yeah, fuck you up. Wow,
that's actually awesome. What happened was also similar in ways to the proposing area
Vince Russo came up with on June twentieth when he had his ill fated meeting
with McMahon. I'm guessing getting fired, Russo suggested a Raw versus SmackDown feed,
which eventually would be remaking the WCW brand versus w B, with Bishoff
leading w CW. His suggestion for SmackDown's leader was Mick Foley, although his
idea was talked about deeply enough on that day that he was aware it would
be Bischoff and Stephanie should they do the angle. Ruce's idea to turn things
around Excuse Me was basically a combination of the two thousand and one Alliance angle
and the unsuccessful two thousand angle where Bischoff and Russo returned to WCW to restart
everything. Yeah, he wanted to start everything from scratchhere. Bischof would srip
every one of their WB titles, as well as getting the Raw crew,
which would become the new WW to invade SmackDown, and Russell also wanted to
bring in people like Brett Hart and Bill Goldberg for this angle. Wants to
uh how it turns out, story walking bitch to DNA and just fuck that
up. Freaking up, man, make sure you fuck it up fifteen years
from now too. After that fucking it up, make sure to just keep
blowing it every single time. Did you think that they're gonna make it just
fucking fuck it up? Man? Last thing here. There was a PEP
talk on seven fifteen before Raw, largely given by agents John Laurnidis, Arn
Anderson Dafin Lee as well as Triple H. Meltzer says it is no secret
that even though the Raw team is ahead in attendance, that management believes the
Smackdun crew overall is doing a better job. Laurenidis talked about work ethic and
motivation problems. Triple H then gave a speech, and Meltzer says he probably
enough. He probably shouldn't have been the one that was giving it. Triple
Ah said that too many people think they deserve more of a push because of
tenure in the company, and to too many people are sitting back waiting for
someone to give them a push. He's Triple H just saying this. He
said, you make your break and force the push. Triple AH is saying
this, and then he realized something stupid. Meltzer says, talking about how
he got on top on management was trying to hold him down and punish him
for the curtain call in nineteen ninety six because he forced his break. He
said some guys need to look at themselves for why they aren't being pushed,
saying some guys are lazy and playing Nintendo games or Card's backstage instead of watching
the matches and learning. He said, because you haven't say he said,
because you have an occasional good match on TV, or even a few good
matches on TV, that many in the locker room don't know how to work
and don't even realize that. Oh my. He also said that the guys
have to work harder at the house shows because crowds are down, so that
people who are going will tell their friends that they missed a good show.
He claimed to have been part of the crew that rebuilt the company by working
so hard at the house shows, and that is needed again. Ye games
back here? How dare the Undertaker plays cards? No? Not him,
He's fine his tenure. He's been sitting on his ass. I was talking
about your friend Midian naked naked play talking. That is it for the Observer.
Now it's time to talk about the backtown July twenty fifth two. All
right, so let's get into this SmackDown here. We start off with James.
I'm so excited James that you filed her tapped into the intro talk of
the show. Yeah, but I'm here with you got to get the bumper.
The bumper is very important. It is. Yeah, whopper, That's
all I thought of was pickles my buzzy. So we get a code open
ere the beautiful people, dude. Oh yeah, Well we get the the
demo version of Stephanie's fucking theme song too. For some reason, I'm all
growing up now, all right, Yeah, we're coming up on the SmackDown
six era. For whatever reason, I usually signify that era coming up with
this actual video here where Stephanie's in the production truck. So we have watched
another smack Down the heads. I don't know if they did this intro every
week, but we've She's done this at least a couple of times. Yeah,
I have watched. We were watching this era just free balling. We
weren't even like we were just watching this. Yeah, we weren't even like
doing not for the pot. We just were watching every week. It is.
So it's and I never get tired of watching it again and seeing it
again. And it's just a fun, easy to watch, easily digestible.
That's probably the biggest thing is so easy to digest. I'm like, oh
ship Man like that that felt like yeah, yeah, yeah, you know
this is uh, this is the brand split era, and Stephanie runs the
show and she's running down the card for tonight. Uh so we have Edge
versus Chris Jericho in a steel cage match, steal steal, steel case,
steal steal. Yeah, that's I mean, I can't help but laugh at
these interests though, because it's it's a shot. She's in the production truck
and it's different angles of her and it's like she just they have her repeat
the words and they use it in the things. So she says a new
r of w be begins, I'm Stephanie Man Stephanie Stephanie McMahon, and the
cameras going like crazy. It's like this weird like tilted camera angle and all
like crazy. Yeah. This They keep this branding pretty much the entire time
that they do smack Down six. This is just a big part of the
show. Yeah yeah, no, you're right. Yeah. Edge will finally
get his one on one match with Chris jack and to steal steal steel cage
and also the official debut of Ray Right Ray Mysterio Ray mysterio. That was
fucking funny as fun Yeah, there's one word she says to my whole coke,
dude, that one Okay. So yeah, the new w B champions
The Rock, the Rock, the People's Champion, Rock will be competing against
tag team Jamie's Lanstorm encurageing they don't get one and the Rock's partner Hollywood cal
uh and she says, and Bischoff, I hope you're watching because tonight marks
the debut, the SmackDown debut of the next big Thing, brock Lessner Rock
brock Lesner. Dude, I was like, wow, there is a lot
on the show. Yeah, stack show here. Yeah, goddamn well,
it's signed for the Beautiful People. Intro. I love this intro, Dude,
This intro is tremendous, but I do have to take issue with one
thing. And I might have to take blame here for this because they may
have put this in after I wrote this down. So I wrote, how
is Valvenus in this intro? I don't remember him on smackdne at all.
Yeah, they actually super imposed him in the intro and then super imposed him
match here in this. They should super impose him out of a helicopter.
My my recollection of valved this is that he disappeared after RTC and then came
back to dude, Yeah, Sean Morley's not even happened yet, Tony Chief
Morley. That's all I think. That's what I think is RTC and then
Chief Morley and that was it. That's all I remember. Well, you
forgot about the middle part. This is the middle part is dude, the
middle part. I don't even know how long this goes on for that he
exists here, But I guess I should have known because he's in smack Down.
Shut your mouth as this the Big Valboski. That's right. So I'm
gonna tell you right now, the Big Valvoski has a match tonight and uh
this is this is the most like everyone in this match is done and not
gonna be here soon as you guys gonna get the fuck out due that's your
triple was talking about the Big Valboski said, you think you could get a
beau on super imposed a vehicle on top of him. So we kick off
the show here we have Kurt Angle versus Mark Henry in a singles match.
Yeah, they don't do the SmackDown Pyro we just go right into Kurt Angle
Pyro and he comes out in the camouflage USA gear, which is awesome.
Yeah, I think that was like they're trying to that. They do that
a lot actually, like we're starting with a match like that was so anti
WW at the time. Yeah, the crowd even seemed to be like,
well, what the fuck was the fucking Pyro? Where's the fifteen minute promo
where he's supposed to get? Come on, what's going on? Yeah,
well what we do get is to be kicks in and I'll start rocking.
Oh shit, Mark Henry. This song is fucking awesome. I always love
the way that Mark Henry comes out here. He always comes out like running
sideways like Mark Henry. Yeah, he's he's super happy. He's like,
I'm the talk is man the world. He's fired up. Yeah, just
set radio ass theme song. That's why I think I like it so much.
Yeah, No, I like it too, Like I definitely be skating
around his corn listening to this. Mark Henry has a single it and one
of them has a is a World and then there's arms and test. He's
the strongest man of the world. That makes sense. No, he's not.
He's the world has arms. It's weird. So actually the world's picking
him up. Card Angle actually in this match. It's a good indicator of
what they thought of Kurt Angle in this situation, and it was that he's
going to be like a big focal point of this show because they almost immediately
put Brock Lesner with him. It's the first thing you see in this show.
I was actually blown away. I was like, this is like,
it feels like if it didn't feel weird because I'm so used to seeing Brock
and Kurt, like, you know, with each other. But I was
like, wow, this is I didn't know that this is how Brock starts
on SmackDown. So we start the match off here. They decide to go
with the big guy little guy thing, which, by the way, awesome,
perfect always works always and it is good. Kurt Angle tries to German
suplex Mark Henry to start in the shine in here. Can't do it.
Henry body slams them for trying, giving them the fucking thrust. That's that
way, detext is fucking two k Yeah, you're right. Oh I hate
that. Oh my god. So Mark Henry ends up picking up Kurt Angle,
puts him on the top rope and passed him on his little bald heads.
Just think of the way detection thing, the one, the one when
you try to pick them up from the front is even worse because you just
drive their leg. Yeah, you're right. Sorry, Henry is really taking
an angle early. Here hits a delayed military press. Thank you. Yeah,
that was cool. Okay. I was gonna ask you, what is
what is the difference between a military press slam and a gorilla press slam?
Gorilla, I thinks back the behind playing them behind, right, the military
presss behind I guess, I guess the way they called it here would be
the gorilla presses bind. Yeah, because the ultimate warrior would do the gorilla
press slam and he would just let you go behind. He would well,
he would recklessly drop you behind him as well, or the navy and then
well Market and kurdanor in both so so Mark Henry rushes the corner and Kurd
angle moves. Henry runs straight to the buckle and then angle hits a belly
to back, finally being able to take him off his feet for two awesome.
Yeah, just super simple storytelling. I think it works good. It
feels like they're kind of making a statement here with this match, Like we
start off with the show with kurd Angle coming out, this is a match
that makes complete sense, and they're making sure that everything that they do in
this match makes sense in the sense of of of k Fabe and the continuity
of kurd Angle trying to get him off his feet and like and like very
is. Yeah, it's very focused on the end ring storytelling itself instead of
like how w B was for the last couple of years, where like,
you know, someone's gonna fucking hit him with the chair in a head and
the match would have already ended two minutes ago. Yeah, right, I
think it's very simple and direct. But then of course Brock Lesner interferes in
the match and he fucking just destroys mark In. Brock runs in and just
punches him in the back of the head and then he glumps the shit out
of him and then hits him with the F five, which is nuts.
Yes, spins him with ease too. Yeah, dude just drops him very
easily. Kurt is confused as Hell and Hayman as they were Brock and they're
laughing and celebrating. Kurt has pissed and he's walking after him up the ramp
and he's saying, we doing Brock, He's actually confused. Yeah, And
they end up going backstage and Kurt walked out to Brock and he just asked
him like, what the hell was that? Yeah, Hey, Brock,
what hell you doing? What hell is that? And Hayman goes to talk,
but Brox says, I'll handle this, which is also different, I
think, because I don't know if Brock really talked on raw. Yeah,
he actually told Paul shut up and uh Brox's Kurt relaxs, you know,
it looked like you were in trouble, so I figured I to help you
on. Kurt says, you you help me out? Who the hell do
you think you are? And Brock says, I'm the guy going to Summer
Slime to face the Rock for the w B title, and I was hoping
i'd face you, but you blew it. Maybe the pressure of being number
one is getting to you, but not anymore because being the number one guy
for you, it's over. Kurt looks at him. They stare at each
other down and Kurt Leavesley says, son of a bitch. Yeah, immediately
because this is coming off of vengeance where Kurt obviously did not win the w
B title. It was a triple threat with him, Rock and Taker.
I think it was, yeah, I think so, yeah, Rock is
champion, so yeah, just immediately throwing Brock right into the oppera line.
It's kind of crazy because, like you think of this SmackDown air, it's
like always Brock and Kurt, and they just like planted the seed right away
the very first Stephanie episodes like crazy that went on forever. Well, we
go back stage. Stacey Keebler walks into Stephanie McMahon's office. Yeah, Philadelphia's
own mister McMahon's secretary at the time, but not even Moore, No,
not anymore because Vince is off TV or just out of this. He became
the full boss again and he made Stephanie and bisch Off the GM, so
he won't be around and stay says last week, Vince, I mean,
mister Rickman was left when he left the informed that he wouldn't be needing my
services anymore, and is all or Steph says all, that's well, that's
too bad, you know, But if I know mister ric mahon, then
I'm sure he's already being serviced elsewhere, why not want wah wah, that
is your dad, that's your dad. Yeah, it didn't age well then
either, Tony. It's weird as fun no matter what time. Sadly well,
Stacy says, well, if you need anything, just asking the do's
a knock at the door and Steph says, well, why don't you start
by getting the door, and Test says he does. Stacey comes back and
says that Steph, somebody sending you some beautiful flowers, and Deff reads the
card that's in him and she is not happy. Her face goes blank,
and Stacy says, oh, who sent them? And seventy doesn't answer.
He finally says, why do you read it yourself? And Stacy reads it
and the card says SmackDown's lost his raws gain see tonight Love Airic. Stephanie
is fucking pissed, so pissed that she chucks the vase of this nice set
of flowers at the wall that shatters, and then her and Stephanie, her
and Stacy just stare at each other. I mean, you know, the
onesn't the flowers fucking fall. There's so much staring at the end of segments
in this era, it's crazy. Every Stephanie segment ends with her staring either
in the distance or at somebody did the last one on the show is insane.
That is fucking That's like the most cliffhangariest of cliffhanger endings of a show
ever. Well, thankfully, next up, we have none other than Reverend
Devon with Batista. He's not even the Deacon here, he's just Batista.
I don't know if he's been denounced as deacon or if he still has to
be made deacon still, I don't know how to know. This gimmick is
like fucking over, is done? Yeah, this is like the we done
with this, and of course, yeah, we're going back to the He's
Reverend Devon until November at least. Yeah, yeah, But in terms of
yeah, it's over. So Reverend Devon with Batista, and he's facing off
against everyone's favorite fucking tag team, the Big Valboski and Hardcool Holly, his
tag team partner is here with him. Dude, everything about this just fucking
hurt my brain. So Bautista and Devon come out here. Batista has a
crazy taunt on the ramp where he like makes a cross in the air and
then punches through it. It's absolutely nice, but he's fired up. Devon
has a little dance that he does repeatedly at nauseam. He does his dance
through the whole old match show is good. Yeah, that's just And then
I hear Big Valboski's music hit and I wrote, no fun this is all
caps, no fucking way. This is my fault. Why did I type
that? Ship like a Big Valboski, which is Valvinus comes out and he
stops in the ramp and he starts signaling for somebody to come out from the
back, and I'm like, oh, what are they doing the Godfather gimmick
here, because like Reverend Devon is you know, pure and he doesn't want
to fuck with heaven, sex or anything, so he's gonna bring out the
ladies. Much to my surprise, out comes fucking hardcore Bob hollyd SmackDown.
Sure, just put a little SmackDown on it. I said, holy shit,
what's happening here? Take it wrong? Then we smacked down? Yeah,
this sucks, this sucks. Wow, this is It's crazy because like
in a few months, the undercard gets like real different here. All these
guys get fired. The undergard gets real different here, but they have Reverend
Devon in the big Valboskina singles match. This is fucking nasty work. Thank
you for this. Yeah, this is unreal. Valboski is like doing baby
face fire in this. He does a scoop slam and goes this guy big
Valboski with the villa and trunks on. Dude, Yeah we see it.
Now get out of here, dude. This guy sticks like asshole here pants
the big d pants, but he dances to be done. He takes it
a Devon to start, gives him the chops lines in the corner. I'm
watch have wrote this ship down chops, everyone's favorite. Valvenus moves chops lines
in the corner, running knee drop. What else to ask for from the
most generic asshole of all time. So Valvenus gives a boot to Divon and
you can hear in the very back there's one fucking guy. No, come
on, that was Bautista. That So Batista puts Devon back in the ring
and crossbody to the floor. Yeah, everyone's favorite move and uh Hardwarehally and
Batista meet eyes on the outside and I'm thinking, wow, that's like Ron
in Austin. Yeah, that's like this is crazy hard the summer slam build
has begun. I can't wait they cooked here. I can't wait for Hardcoli
to pummel him relentlessly in his head and give him many concussions. The Devon
is on top. Now, Divon, it's a spinning upper cut, and
then he gives He says, who's the man he just loved dance? He's
looking up this gimmick, that work man. He's Reverend Devon and he fucking
he doesn't funk with you. He does he does the dance man. Yeah,
he's going to church, Devon. No, I don't even know if
he's going to church anymore. Batista just hit across. He bought right through
that ship man church. That was the official resignation of the church. So
yeah, Devon hits a Johnson to neckbreaker for two. Devon then goes for
this, of course, the second rope elbow drop and cuts himself off.
He jumps so ridiculously high off of this. I was actually impressed. So
Venus of course hits the double line back to body drop, comeback, come
you're done here. Yeah, we're about to get Jamie. No boys ship
here out, Yeah, cruise await to come a bit. He hits,
of course that Fisherman supplex. That's his finish, and I thought was the
money shot. You know it's one of them. This is the rocks.
I think so true. That's true. He hits a Fisherman supplex, but
Batista pulls Venus's legs, so it's only a two while there's so many layers
like an onion ape. Dude, he was bridged and Batista took the leg
and then Hard Kohli fucking gloms Batista because he was He's been waiting to hurt
this rookie as far as possible, he said, God of my family.
Of course, al Venus stags up Devon with the blue thunderbomb. Come on,
and he wins the match. Dude, yeah, that is that is
crazy, man. He wins the match and then Hard Kohally gets in and
I'm not sure Hard Kohli has ever celebrated anything in his life, because he
goes up to Valvenus and he starts just spamming, pointing with his index finger
in many different directions. He points at Valvinus, he points around the arena
that he points to the corners. He's lost, He's never won. I
think is what happened? They hit the double post celebration for some reason,
they just beat Reverend Devon Mercy title wins the season celebration. This is unreal.
Batista then comes in it gives Venus a clothesline, and then hark Ray
and Batisa started fighting, and then Batista gives hark the NDA spinebuster. He
could, dude, Okay, what do you know what he said after this?
I couldn't figure it out. No, I have no idea what he
said, dude, I because I went back and try to listen to it
four hundred times and I all I can figure is he said it? Oh
but dude, yeah, he rocked him with that spinebuster because he knew he
was getting a receipt soon and about it shivvy and crazy. He's had a
little instrum. I said, what, I don't remember him doing this.
Oh, he's getting it because he adds more as he goes on. He's
spamming taunts. He just lost a Valu, the big valbo in our Get
it. That felt like a fever dream of a match. I'll be honest.
I was like, Wow, I don't know they you were thinking of
here? That was the last remnants of a shitty SmackDown. Yeah, you're
right, it was the last stand. Go there and show me what you
got. Let's see if you can earn your spot. Valboski, he did
not. Oh, I think maybe we should treat you. The raw is
probably what he was on. So we go backstage. Stacey Keebler is talking
to the building security. Yeah, who also wears blue shirts. They have
seen that, man, security, It's adorable. Stacy says, Now listen,
this isn't coming from me. It's come from Stephanie wan Man's office.
There's a lot going on back here, and I'm not at liberty to speak
about it to you security, But if you see anything suspicious going on,
you have to contact Sevanie's office immediately. I imagine this was also already their
job description. They probably were already assigned to do exactly this. But I
digress. And then all of a sudden, you see Edge walking by in
the background, and Stacy starts flipping the funk out, Hey stop, security
go after him. And then and then security does go after him. They
chase Hiss down like they could have fucking kick his head if Stacy. If
Stacey wasn't here, And I was working that shift and Edge walked by.
I would not think this was suspicious in any way because he's Canadian. It's
always suspicious when you're Canadian. Well, when torture like that are around,
maybe you've got to look at him. Yeah, he's probably trying to go
find a seat. He's probably storming out of the bill because he just was
forced to watch the big Valboski against Devon before Hayman telling me about the goods,
I'm fucking gone. And then Stacy gets on her flip phone, which
is a big theme of this show, the flip phone. God, I
love Yeah, and she called Stephanie and so, Stephanie, I don't know
how to tell you this, but I think Eric Bischoff might have Edge.
Now what the fun made her edging? Edging in the parking lot? Jel
hell? What made her think that Edge was going to roller just because he
was because he was leaving, because he walked by going to the parking lot.
Maybe he was gonna go fu damn. So we go backstage. Lance
Storm and Christian are the w w E Tag team champions, and Lance Storm
is going on and on about how one they won the titles at Vengeance.
The pass pay per view here and two everyone is against them, yeah,
Lanstorm says, know, the bias reps and the hateful fans, and they
stole are the tag champs. And Christien says, and the best part about
it is we did it in a totally Unamerican way. He says, we
worked hard and actually earned it. And Storm says, we gotta make a
statement tonight by defeating those two so called American icons Hogan and Rock, and
Christian says, how fitting is it that Hogan used to come out to that
that that music real American because he is a real American. He's lazy,
stupid, ignorant, and he thinks the whole world revolves around him. And
uh yeah, they're they're getting ready to to fuck up the Rock and Hogan
to night. And then they end the segment with a very very firm handshake.
Isn't that insane? Storm? Nutrition are gonna fight the Rock and hold
Logan. They're and they're confident about it, and they're gonna kick his ass,
both their American asses. So we go backstage again. Here we got
security going up to edge and uh, it's all man, man, you
cannot leave this fucking building. Yeah, how long. How long did they
have him here for? We just we just yeah, they're just securities,
just stomping him in place, and he's just staying there. R. You
can't leave the building. Why can't I? What if I want to go,
like get food or something, I can't. No, you're not gonna
get you can stay here. We gotta do pre tapes. You tell me,
you tell me after call time, I can't leave and go get food.
I love you. I want to go get a call times three pm.
Then you're ash at eight lunch already. I was there at three and
then I went and got food at four. We'll get for to two.
The show's at six. Dude, I ain't doing nothing. I'm free tapes
anyway, he says stuff. He's yelling. Get him you know, man,
you take you to snuckdout pictures? Edge? Come on, get over
security, stop out Edge because he's not doing his promo pictures. Finally someone
stands up to these dudes. We only have your old pictures at five o'clock.
Doors are at six. Get the back, get out of the room.
Don't run. Sorry, I I gotta you know, got there's things
I gotta do. Okay, gear sucks on the apron. Somebody's gears.
Let this gear you see by vape bed I gotta fight gets stop. Yeah.
Well, Edge says, hey, what's it do your guys? You're
looking good in your blue shirts, and Scaredy said sorry, can't have anyone
to leave in the building. It's five o'clock right now, we're fucking live.
Stephanie walks up and says, sorry about the security, but Edge,
what's going on? Why are you trying to leave the building? This show
started, motherfucker, walk up this discovery in the group. I was gonna
go, he says, in my car, you can't show is live.
Yeah, she says, if you're leaving to go somewhe with bitch of raw,
you haven't listen to me. And Ed says, what are you talking
about? I'm I'm I'm smacked down through and through. And then there's a
very dude, very piped in big cheer as he says here drying crazy.
Yeah, man, this showed the greatest. Well, it says, listen,
I trust you and your vision for SmackDown. I think your vision's gonna
rock, but you need to come with me. I want to show you
something. The production truck, so he says, why are you going to
production truck? She says that in the way, like why are you as
a man? So Edge has a tape and he goes into the production truck.
First of all, who the fuck is this guy? You can just
make production calls on the fly. The show is hard. That's so it's
even crazier because he's like, yeah, put this fucking tape in. We're
live on air. Just go and put this tape. And I don't know
what it is. Yeah, Edge says, who's in charge of doing that?
Chris Jeredeo, Who Yeah, that's me. That's all right, I
put this in. I want to see it. So a clock shows up
on the screen, which I don't know why this had to be appointed to
the girl that does the Jericho tron. It's not like it stays on the
screen the whole life. But fucking doesn't know how they time this perfectly.
Edge is the mastermind of this ship on a VHS tape. Yeah, he
basically rewild the tape to the exact bubble where you walk right in. And
is that how graphics worked in two thousand and two? You could have a
VHS tape with a clock on it and it would just fit on your current
production screen. Actually, I have no fucking idea transparent VHS, yeah,
effects or whatever, you know he put it. It was awesome. Yeah,
well, there's a clock comes green and seventy says it's a clock about
that, and Ed says she wouldn't know what it signifies. Uh huh,
Well, it's a countdown until now in the end of the show, because
in that time I'm gonna get Chris Jerco and it's on a steel cage and
I'm gonna beat Chris Jerco's ask. And you know what, the best part
of it is, I get to do it on SmackDown. And he pats
her shoulder and leaves, and then Steph turns around says, hey, Ann,
who is I guess the Chris Jerko Beep Beep girl and says it's cool.
You can just have that run in the rest of the show. So
that none of this fucking makes any sense? How is it possible in the
world of wrestling anything as possible and has a VHS that allows him to put
a transparent image on the screen that is tied perfectly Right before the cage match,
he knew what the match times were and everything he already. He literally,
Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah, but I mean I like that
it made the main event field important, Like, oh yeah, I gotta
stay here for another hour and a half because I got to see this gauge
match. So we have a Summer Slam ice cream truck commercial. An old
ice cream truck is coming down the street day. This is a brand new
WW branded Summer Slam ice c ship ice cream truck it and it shows everyone
rushing to the truck. I mean, there's all all the dudes, all
of them. A kid points to the truck and his dad sprays him in
the fucking face with the water. Those The dude's helping his wife bring in
the groceries and just slams the groceries into her hands and starts running towards the
truck. Ice cream trucks are a big fucking deal, man. I love
this commercial. Dude, fucking barrel rolls is scream indoor. I'm sure,
I'm sure the family loves that ice creamed bad. Didn't even know Tristrass was
in the truck. They just knew as an ice now. They had to
have known. That's why they were so fired up. Knew they knew.
Yeah, that's why they ran. They want to ice cream? Hell yeah,
that should be coming around the neighborhood. This is Tris's route show,
This is her route for the ice cre round. Yeah, dude, she's
a She's been doing this for years. A dude runs through the hedges,
a dude kicks a kid off of a scooter, and then Tris Strattis opens
up this ice cream truck. Does anybody who wants some sweet stratisfaction? No,
I want to Choco Taco. No, man, the sweet transvectionion is
her number one selling because she's been on this round for years. No,
they I like the idea, they don't about ice cream. Give me the
shittiest piece of gum possible and sticking in his bobic Please, how many chip
wich is gonna man get right now? He said? No, I mean
if you guys want one, Scooper too, I said, I want a
chip witch. I'll take a dilly bar six times talking three chip winches the
bus. But how about the stratisfaction? Can we actually think wrestling sucks?
Bob better barrel the screened door for a chip lick. That's what it's all
about. Man, If I don't, if I go back to my wife
without a popstick was just gonna kill me. I just go back to watch.
Yeah, I just got some stratisfaction. I just divorced talking me ship.
Now, I thought you were watching smack Down. So yeah, we
go to an absolute fucking anger up. News We've got Rakishi versus Albert.
So we get to the Match's got Rakkeishi and Albert in there. Albert crazy,
crazy man. He has Albert is so wet to dude, Albert's chest
and back is tann and Harry and then the rest of his body is not
at all. They dipped him upside down into grease and he looks like this.
Now, dude, he's got the he's got the necklace on, like
the choker necklace. Yes, and it separates his tan body and his white
head. Also, there's three parts of his body. This is like they
put three like this is a bootleg action figure. They just put a bunch
of different parts on each other. Super tan and hairy man only on front
and ball. Wow. Yeah, I'm urting for him, I think.
Yeah. Well he comes in the ring and immediately annihilates Rakishi with a basycle
gig. Yeah, and the backs into the corner. He putting hammers on
him. Your hi bear started fighting back, Dude, he fucking starts,
He's whooping Rakeshi's ass, which is like, again, like they had some
plans here for Albert. I don't know how soon after that he becomes the
a train, but like they fucking put him over here a little bit before.
He's got like a unique look. Yeah, that is not the wrong
way to put it. That is uh, by definition accurate. So Albert
hits a Vader bomb or Akishi, wet and bald. I can't fucking I
just to pick this guy in the games all the times I thought like,
wow, this is crazy. His mom was awesome. He had the bald
obomb, the railer torture, the spin out torture rack, he had the
you know this ship. Yeah, he had choke slam to sit out choke
slam. He would do to in the games, which was awesome, and
he was just fucking obscene looking. I thought that was so cool to me.
I was like, wow, this is a wrestler, dude. Him
going to Japan was probably like a culture shock. They said, what whoa
this guy? Wow, that's right there. Albert runs into the buckle.
Uh, and then Key hits a D D T in a samo and drop
even flow like ass floe start to but yeah, man, he backs in
the corner and just absolutely just starts annihilating. He's ass. He's doing the
rock slap his wrist of guts, and that ship they got the camera right
up there. That ship is jiggling nuts. Man. Then he fucking rushes
Albert in the corner, hits one of his ass. Then Albert of course
stumbles out a little sits down in the corner, and the crowd comes alive.
This is the best thing they've ever seen. And then Rake does the
look back. God, this is funny as fun. He's gonna smell,
says it could be time it does. It's good. What ship he asked?
Favorite ass ship? This did? Never washes his ass And that's why
this is so bad. I thought it was bad just because he had a
gigantic ass and you didn't want some dudes ass in your face. I didn't
know the I guess stink face is the name. Though. You smell,
but then it's like what it didn't smell before, but now it's gonna smell.
He doesn't look like smells. That's what it's like smell Jesus, get
it. He starts simmon his hands to get him churning and his fat dry.
And now it's like James with Jay's bust out of Snickers. It's like
a product tie in. Or he eats the Snickers before the match and he
gives the gnarlyous steak face of all and a Snickers bar falls out of his
gear that he eats it with the veins. I never thought a Snickers bars
a fing? Why not? That's how you get the carabll through this.
You know, like pop, you're supposed to lick those and so you can't
do the inside. You're eating them with the veins still are gone. Sing
that should about the lie Like here cups of paide, It's gonna smell.
It'sa it's like that. Every time we watches there's new lord to his ass.
So crazy, dude, I think that, Uh, did they never
do a storyline or didn't take a shower for a long time? I don't
think so. I think you would just buy default stinky, ask me stinky
at one moment, well said, I guarantee there was a story. There
was no storyline where he would make his ass extra shitty for I feel like
tell her effect myself, like me, there definitely had to be a storyliner
and did that all right? Well, I don't want to talk about Oh
my god, that's you're telling me viz. Never was you just ship your
pants for real? Every time he did to look back and said to the
big show like every baby, big bitch ship your pants your Yeah, Well
Rakschi sting faces him and then uh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, and
then rakes hits the rump shaker sadly not Yokazu in his style. No,
man, there's was a ship in his ass on them, does it like
dissipated? No, it sits there, it's there. Good Okay, Yeah,
he's got a little extra for you, just in case you missed it.
This is also the fucking funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
So I this is Do you think the first time he did this, this
was like a SmackDown statement here that he does this. I know this is
crazy. I remember when we were watching back this era that he does this
a lot. He does it so much I feel like someone attacks him eventually
when he puts their heat on up there, So Keshi walks up the ramp
after winning with the rump shaker. Yeah, yeah, bondside dropped and you
know what, cool man, That's like cool with me. You know,
I think the Rakshi driver is way cooler, but the rump shaker works for
me too. Rakeshi then walks up the ramp and rakes. She sees the
hat and he has a moment and then he looks at the crowd and they
have a moment. They know what's coming up. She has the hat on
the ramp and he he walks over the hat and he it's around it looks
at the crowd and is the most insane shots as ever. Why why did
they do? He says, oh, why did there shot his ass?
It's like he turns around and it's like perfect lighting where the up lights on
the stage or the phil lights on his over his ass and the andre shot
up. Dude, that's's ass add on and then he starts lighting theatrics
and fire. They shut the lights down. He's doing his dances on the
ramp and then he's yeah, the piro goes off, what the hey,
Hey, that's crazy. He expected somebody to jump him. But he does
entire dance with lights theatrics and Piro and then that's the end of the seg
that's awesome. That is fucking Nuts's gotta be just top five fucking most talked
about wrestlers in my life. I think, yeah, well, I mean,
look at this, dude, how do you not talking about this fucking
specimen? Yeah, and like he was cool with all this. He's like,
I was the Sultan or whatever. I don't want to be that anymore.
I want to be the assmen. I want to be a thong or
don't work with that. Yeah, yeah, I will make a lot of
money doing this. Paul Paul, especially during this era, Paul Hayman loved
the guys like this, like he loves and Albert. Yeah, he's like,
look at these guys, Like, how do you not use these guys.
It's not like he gave him like crazy pushes, but like Rakesh feature
them. Yeah, RAKESHI would lose a match and then when he'd be fifty
fifty, but but it's all right because he kept him like relevant enough to
be like so when it's time for RAKESHI to get fived, it's like,
oh, sure it matters, yeah, or if we need to got you
know, Okay, he's getting a fucking tag title shot this week because he's
won these matches or whatever, you know. And I love that about this
era was that like they'd be like, Okay, John Cena and fucking uh
John Cena and Rakeshi or whatever the case may be a challenging for the tag
titles this week. I love that. I thought that was these guys are
looking for they want to go for titles, and they decide together that they're
gonna go for technical stock. You want gold? Why not? Yeah?
Why would want? Yeah? Like exactly, I like that a lot.
So Yeah cuts to Kurt Angle in the parking lot and a dude runs up
on him and he asked him a bought brockleas, how fucking dare you,
James, how fucking dare you? That is Mark Lloyd. That's what I'm
meant to say, Mark, Well, Mark Lloyd is here. Of course
Mark Lloyd, he's the interviewer. So cart Angle says, uh, you
know, Mark Lloyd runs up on him, and kern Angle says, uh,
hold on a second, Eric, I'm on the phone. Buzz off,
come on now, which I thought was gonna be the end of that
segment. Then Mark law Mark lock. Mark Lloyd starts talking directly into the
camera, and Mark Lloyd says, well, folks, obviously Kurt's not too
happy with a rabbit night. I don't know if you could hear, but
he was talking to someone named Eric. Now, rumors are swirling that Eric
Bischoff was spotted earlier at the airport. And if that's true, you can
draw your own conclusions. You forgot Mark Lorid, did the funk out?
Get this dude out of here. Man, get some stratisfaction in your life,
will you. So we got backstage, Stephanie is talking to Mark Lloyd.
Oh, yeah, that's right, Stephanie said, Kurt was talking to
a guy named Eric. There's gotta be more to this. Come on,
Yeah, I think that Stephanie McMahon is going nuts over this. Uh,
for all the wrong reasons. You should be worried about it. For Kishi
was talking to a guy, dude, Eric. Dude. Yeah, you're
going to lose your whole show if you let him go. What the fuck?
Yes, So Stephanie breaks up the flip phone. Dude, So was
the flip phone that Stacy has? The same phone? You think they're on
a family plan Stephanie Stacey was on the McMahon family Respectable or Not You had
Dog. Stephanie seventy calls Kurt allegedly and says, Kurt, I hate leaving
this on a voicemail, but I was just informed you were talking to someone
named Eric, and if you weren't talking Eric Bacheoff, I'd try. I
strongly advise against you listening to him. You haven't heard my side yet.
I have a to offer you on SmackDown. You're the leader of the locker
room here, please give me a callback. This was real two thousand and
two. She would say, if you were talking to Eric Bischoff, fuck
you my boss. Kurt Balls it was two thousand two, would be like,
hey, it's me, Kurt, just kidding. It's my voicemail.
Hold on for a second while you get your callback showing fuck, hey,
I'm talking to Eric, just kidding, phone phone completely away from the You're
like right in front of them, to go wrong, lifestyle stopular. So
we have a ramis shoo hiph pack. It is an awesome show. I
love these shows so much. Yeah, Raymonds, your high package up next.
Boys. Yeah, they also should move and grab by the way I
don't know when they when they introduced that either. It was definitely before the
brands played, right, the moving graphics maybe yeah, I don't know the
time. Yeah, but like god, I love those. I love those
so much. Yeah, it's awesome. Man. I always liked when they
were in the games too. I thought it was cool the games one was
like top tier, what a what a fucking baller move that was? Yeah,
that's awesome. That was inspired. Yeah, they don't have those for
even the old arenas, do they Like when you select the ring, I
guess there's not really a matchup screen like that. Yeah, I mean you
got the load the loads. Yeah, and it's just I just look at
a PNG of fucking Dexter Loomis. Yeah, that's crazy. That's what I'm
playing. It was your dragon off. Yeah, he's you can't do that.
He can't do that one. So land Storm and uh Christian are champs
tag champs with Test of course, Test is out here. I want I
want to hear these names Lance Storm and Christian here test that the tag champions.
They're facing off against w W Undisputed Champion The Rock and Hulk Hogan.
This is Hollywood. Yeah, that's Hollywood. Yeah, this is uh,
this is fucking crazy. This is just on SmackDown. Yeah. I was
surprised to see this match, especially. I was surprised to see this match
halfway through the show. I also was like, wow, how is this
not the main? But again, this is just what they were fucking The
cage match is the main? Brother, fuck you? Well, I guess
they saw Storm and Christian are probably gonna leave here soon. Yeah, you're
right, and rock and Hogan like, you know, we already know to
deal with that. Sure, but I knew that some shenanigans were gonna happen.
I uh. I definitely was like, I don't remember Rocking Hogan winning
the tag titles, but I was convinced that they were. They could have.
Yeah, I think that's the I think that's the simplicity of the booking
here is like, wow, how could they not win the titles? Yeah?
Yeah, I gotta get a ship of testas ringside. How the fuck
do they not win the titles? That? Yeah, I didn't even think
should have the match, but I was like tapped in because I was like,
do they win? So the match is actually good? It's fine?
Yeah, the match is good. The match hinges on the crowd and that's
that's pretty much the rock and that's all they're ship and really what they were
trying to do with down Americans because all their thing was boo, you're not
American and putting them here with the rock and Hogan made them look like megastars.
Sure, yeah, you know like they gave him. They gave him
like sixty forty. I said, oh yeah, they didn't kill Wow.
I couldn't believe that like that. That was definitely a new era. But
maybe I imagine it was only one guy in that match that had have a
be convinced of that. But you know, as long as there brother Landstorm
said that. Yeah. So hul Cogan comes out to his famous song Wow
w w D. It's so funny to see how you do all his theatrics
and ship and it's a dub crowd and nothing's lining up. And notice he
said, at all he's singing the song, playing the guitar. There's nothing
playing. Its crazy license that song. Come on, it cost some bajillion
dollars and they don't care. No way, bro, it can't be that
extense, I mean, especially for a guy. Yeah, I mean,
you're right, really want to look at it. I mean, w B
could do whatever they want whenever. That it's also true, you know,
but yeah, like it's definitely weird for a guy that was supposed to be
the center stone of their business. They're like, yeah, we just can't
license. Maybe at the time they were dubbing this, they didn't funk with
Hogan. They said, fuck that fucking put this shitty as song over the
top of it. Yeah, you're probably right, he was in TNA.
We're not fucking dubbing your music, stupid ass immortal. You look like a
fucking freak. Look at you, man, this my as you're wrestling on
no Sacrifice. I hate that. Oh yeah. Bishoff said that he paid
one hundred thousand dollars for that Jimmy Hendrick song. You can only use two
minutes of the song. Oh wow? Is that it was definitely not just
doing too many entrances? Was he? No? But they had to loop
the song. I guess right. Okay, he said the w music was
free, but this was one hundred thousand. Yeah, we used it for
everybody on every show for every which was fucking awesome. Everybody the intro.
Yeah, it's just oh shit, I I think the Rock is cool as
fuck, Like he came out here like, wow, he has such a
Yeah that belts huge. Okay, I was gonna ask you that is this.
Did they have different undisputed titles because this looks gigantic on the Rock?
Well, yeah, the first one they had the Scratch logo on it,
right, like the scratch w w L. Yes, make clear they should
have just you know, put the little line under there, and that's by
Yeah. Well Steve Fox left. They said, uh yeah, but the
Rock of the I mean, the Rock with the undisputed title period is crazy.
Hogan with the undisputed title even crazier Undertaker. I mean like there's just
so many guys that have this title. Here for a minute where it's like
that's weird Triple h hat it at one point that doesn't feel right, No,
that's weird as fuck. Yeah, none of this feels like it's supposed
to be in this era. Like I'm looking at this match as it is,
I said, wow, this feels not of this era at all.
Yeah, how's that possible? The Rock and Hulk Cogan are teaming on SmackDown
Jamie Nobles on this show, Yeah, right, But it's just because we're
transitioning. We're in that transition period right between these two eras. But I
mean, it's still very cool to see. Yeah, I think so.
I think. I think it's like it's definitely cool that they were able to
do this before they transitioned into that new area. You know, I don't
even know how much longer The Rock is here. After Summertime ended, The
Rock was visibly angry at the crowd reaction when he tried to do a post
show speech with the crowd the fans booed him. Then The Rock took time
off to kickstart his acting career and doesn't come back until January three to set
up a match with Hogan at No Way Out Hollywood Rock Time? Is that
that right? I believe? Yeah, because of the negative fan reaction during
the previous matches. As a result of Rock turned heel for the first time
since ninety nine and started a new persona that has been called Hollywood Rock.
Yeah. How long is that lasts? It's not that long either. Uh.
And then he's gone in four wow? Uh yeah? Yeah, yeah,
yeah, he's gone on four because at Backlash three, Goldberg beats the
Rock. Oh Rock leaves again in April so he's back in January, leaves
in April after Goldberg beats him to film walking tall uh, and then he
would make occasional appearances and then he came back in four to help Foley against
Evolution. Yes, I do remember that. So like, yeah, this
he loses the Rock and he's kind of like he does the Hollywood Rock thing
and he's like, you know, kind of Yeah, Hollywood Rock was.
It wasn't long at all, but I remember three months. Yeah it was
somehow. Yeah, I think that Uh, I think that rock was like
I still think he had. I mean obviously, like you sometimes you're just
not gonna win the crowd over. I think they were ready for the new
era. I think really was what it was, and uh yeah, it
was just gonna be tough no matter what. But Hollywood Rock, I mean
big as belt Buck. I love. I mean the stuff he's doing right
now. Also, by the way, on the record, fucking tremendous.
Yeah, I've seen clips of it, man, and like that. Yeah,
I'm putting the bell on that guy. He is nuts. He is
out of his fucking mind and he's doing whatever he wants and there ain't ship
anyone could do about it. The start of the news story. Yeah,
that's he's on a Night one tag match. He said, this is my
Yeah, this is not even a raised him words about the Rock. Maybe
you don't like that, you can go home and smoke Carl rock Color.
Wow. Yeah, what a beast man. Yeah, Rock and Hogan versus
the they're the not anti anti American anti Americans. Yeah, no official name,
but you know, but yeah, we start off, we get some
us a chance to start this one. No, Lance Storm walks up with
Hulk Hogan and then Hogan pushes them off and flecks his big style. Storm
called that it was the opposite that Hogan took liberties here Hogan. Hogan bumping
for Lance Storm is insane to me. It's crazy. Land Storm gives him
a line. He's got ww crid you know major guns? Are you ever
major guns? Oh see, I saw you three titles. W you must
have been good. They were all up and said f U N D.
And Hogan's like, yeah, brother, yeah, So land Storm lines Hogan
he bumps for him, but he gets right back up, but it's still
crazy regardless. Hogan also x bombers Lance too. Yeah, he comes back
with one. Yeah, that was cool. But no, you're right.
Yeah, I mean he was. Hogan was a team player at least for
this match. They're probably paying him so much money. Wow, Yeah,
you're right. They had Jimmy Hendrix on his ship. Yeah, I could
imagine. I love this spot. Hogan punches Storm, he falls back into
the Rocks corner, The Rock punches him, he punches them. Yeah,
the pink pocket of back and forth. This is awesome. This is exactly
what I wanted out of this match, was the two shitty little heels getting
their ass belonged until like Test interferes and like turns the table on it,
Like that's exactly what I want, and they give it to us, like
pretty much verbatim. Yeah no, that's exactly what they did. So Christian
gets tagged in and the Rock hits him with a belly to belly souplex.
Remember Andrew Everett was doing that for a minute. I don't know if he's
still doing it right now, but it was awesome. He might I think
it might be. That's awesome. Rocks Rocks. Belly to belly is awesome.
He barely even via your arm pits. It's awesome. So Lance Storm
fake tags the Rock in the back. I was very confused by that.
I thought this was funny as ship. So Landstorm fake tags the rock at
the back, he hits them, and then he gives them a shrug,
and then the Rock turns around and he gives them a shrug back and punch
the fucking shrug and hitting him back. Is like, wow, that's awesome,
just a small little thing that I was like, that was funny.
It was funny as fuck. Yeah, Lanstorm sold a p to punch him
in the face and then Rock turns around to a spinning wheel kick from Christian
that starts for heat there. It's so important, I think to have guys
like Lance Storm and Christians that are willing to take just an ass whooping like
that, Like you have to have shitty little heels like this, that thing
that's super important. And I think was the same way. Kirk Kirk was
like that. But then like he's your watching that, like I'll make fun
and the like pretty much. You know, I guess they probably would have
went there in the marketry match earlier. But yeah, he you know,
gets fucked up, get laughed at, and now he's gonna fucking punch you
in the head and throw you around, So yeah, the Rock. He
goes for the People's elbow here. Test holds down the top rope and the
Rock just each ship to the outside, slams into the announced table pushes it
literally backwards. Dude. That was awesome. A huge pop just for Rock
Spinebuster on Landstorm because they knew the People's Elbow was coming and they were so
excited for it. Test attacks Rock on the outside with the ref distracted.
When Test is outside fucking the Rock up on the announced table, someone in
the crowd just yells, you're a pussy. Test Hey, fuck you man.
Johnson is in my teeth later of me for a while. So Lance,
yeah, dude, Landstorm stops the Rock, bottom hits the super kick
on the Rock and and Hogan has to break it in yeah, because he's
gonna lose to the Superkick. Lance Storm was about to beat the undispeated champion
of the Raw. Like that's just a small thing. You're like, wow,
I cannot believe that. That's like, especially during this is definitely a
new era what they're doing here, because motherfucking the rock. Earlier when I
beat this ship out, the dude a wall and it would have been fine.
Better than I am. Yeah, they would be like, okay,
cool. Yeah, so Rock he goes for the hot tag here, but
Test pulls Hogan off the apron. Thought. I thought Hogan was gonna tear
his fucking moniscus or some ship here him. I can't believe he jumped off
the apron like that. We're gota pulled down like that. And then yeah,
he drags hoaging off the apron. Hogan points at him and follows him
around the ring and uh, Rock finally, finally, finally jumps at the
corner for the tag, but Hogan isn't there, and when Hogan is there,
Lanstorm drags him away. This is fucking awesome. They're kind of cooking.
He said, oh, ship, it's super basic. But it's like
it's the most basic match I've ever seen. But I love it. I'm
really digging this crowd. The crowd wasn't here for this, I'd be like
whatever. But yeah, guys, every bat, I said, Wow,
it must be awesome to be over like this like you. Yeah, I'm
leaving. I got a couple of movies to make. I got all the
movies to make, So yeah, Rockets and DDT on Lance Storm. Uh
once Hogan gets back on the apron. He gets the hot tag. Hogan
goes for the boot. Christian Storm then get around him and hit a double
belly to back souplex on Hogan. Yeah, a Christian ducks the big Boot
and they hit a double team move. I said that was that was awesome.
That was sweetest ship. The way they got into it was very cool.
Yeah. And then the rock gives a rock pot of the land Storm
because of the rig and the rock ts are on him and ship out.
He sets him over the top. Roam fucks him up, and then Hogan
starts firing up. He points at christ Dude, this is funny as hell.
Hogan starts hulking up. He hulks up, He's he's with a mustache.
He's getting fired up. He goes the point at Christian. He gets
flustered, tries to rip off his bandana, fucks it up, then rips
it off and goes training. Bandana comes off power level. The match is
over. You're fucked, You're fun Big Boot to Christian leg drop and then
brock Leser is here to get as what the fuck brock Lesser targeting every big
name on the show is crazy, dude, he attacks Howking hits him with
the F five and then leaves. And this is all because and Rock gets
and he's checking on Hogan. Rocks like, what the fuck just happened.
He turns and looks to the stage and he gets bug eyed because he spots
Brock and Hayman on the ramp, and Brock's doing the you know, I'm
getting the title taunt, which more people need to do. By the way,
that is the best dot ever is the ultimate stare down the rock.
So Brock's doing that, I'm getting the title taunt. And then the Rocks
like like, oh, yeah, this is you just sold sixty just staring
out. Oh my god, tremendous piece of business here. Yeah, this
is they cooked crazy with this. Don't even know. I was like,
I was blown away by Brock coming out. I said, no way,
he's this involved already. They had big plans. Yeah, they said,
look at this guy. Man. It worked, so it shows the cage.
We have the cage time towards Just to look at the timer, by
the way, yeah, one hour away, one hour and one a minute.
Don't know how edge is so dials in here with the VHS whatever.
So we go backstage Brock lesnar is going to a limousine backstage to leave.
Yeah, Brock walks up to Uh, there's a limo driver at the door
at the back door of the limo and Brock walks up to him and he
says, Warren't you going to open the door? Driver says, I'm sorry,
this is someone else, and Hayman says, oh no, this Stephanie
said this is okay, and Stephanie says this is okay. Yeah. Odd.
The driver says, oh well, this is haul Cogan's car tonight,
and brockets in his face and he says, you got it all wrong.
This is the next big Things car. So if you don't open this door
and drive for me, I'm gonna beat your ass. He definitely does say
open the door. So the driver opens the door. He's really good that.
Yeah. The driver opens the door and him and Hayman getting Brocken,
Hayman getting not the driver, the driver r it's around GTA style. That's
a tremendous way to put it. Wow. Yeah, he gets in,
throws the door open the same way and they drive away. Dude and Taza
has the most video game line of all time. That was dubbed over for
sure. Just huckle my agent ain't get me no limos brouh Tony Taz has
so many fucking cold lines here. There's at the at the end of the
Stray Mysterio match, they glaze this shit crazy. I can't you talking about
that? I was like, no, it sounded like a video game.
But yeah. Speaking of Taz and Cold, they're both here and they talk
about the possibility of kur Angle leaving and going to Raw. Test says if
we lose Kardangle, it'll be a big blow for our show, and Cole
says, well, anyway, speaking of a big blows, the rookie John
Cena. He doesn't say that, he said the Rooki John. We'll be
facing the anti American Test Johnson and joined justin the vackcage area. John as
an American. What's gotta be like facing Test? Let me say real quick
before you talking about this, this is the worst promo ever. This is
uh, this is like all the stories of them saying that, like Sena
was on the chopping block. I completely believe I yeah, I very much
believe it too, especially with the match we get later with Test. I
very very much believe it. But this promo was like that motherfucker was reading
a teleprompter word for word type ship. I was like, wow, it
definitely is none of it. It's like, if these were his words,
he should have been fucking fired, would have fired him on the way back.
Thankfully for us boys, I have this whole thing written down. Appreciate
that. Sjohn Cena says, you know, instead of a John's thirty might
as well said, says there's no doubt test is gonna be tough, and
he talks a lot of trash about America. Well, maybe, you know,
maybe he should talk trash about America. I mean, everyone knows Canadians
get free healthcare, but if you look at tests, it's obvious they don't
get dental care. You know. Instead of going around saying America sucks,
America sucks a dislike him, it's of course a Canadian accidents sucks. They
should be going around saying plues Fox trief plues, you man, that should
be your ass. That should smacked the absolute dog shit out of you.
And Seena says, well, you know, I mean it reminds me of
some crazy Canadian woodchuck. So I guess the obstacle I have to conquer tonight
is how much wood could a woodchuck? Chuck? If Test could chuck wood?
Fuck you fuck. It's not having a yelling into a should now get
kid, that's gotta be. That's gotta be like, if you really want
to rate bad Johns, that's gotta be one of the worst ones I've ever
heard. It is fucking brutal Marks sucks. Test isn't even known for having
like big teeth. I don't even think Test. You feel like that was
them trying to start something here, Like someone must have said Test had fucked
up teeth in the back and the boys pop for this and all we gotta
get that on TV. Yeah, man, wow, Yeah, Canadians are
the bad teeth dental plan guys talking about Yeah, it's awesome. They got
free healthcare sick, so I guess his teeth are fucked up or something.
You suck, You suck the balls and I hate you. Man has kissed
my ass. Just suck these making idiot balls. That's what's in his head.
He's macon idiot balls in your face. They're cooking, like that's really
what what happened. He wanted to say, bitch, I will kill you
and you'll suck these balls. Test walks in and says, you know,
you're a pretty funny guy, Sena, maybe what they say is true.
Maybe you are the kid with ruthless aggression. He's staring them up and says
that. Everyone walks up and says that actually, of course that's what everyone
said, the guy's aggression. Huh uh. Test slaps the absolute ship out
of John Cena here he like, Test smacks him so hard that I was
like, wow, he is actually probably not gonna be able to wrestle because
he's blown. It's gotta be, it's gotta be. Yeah. He slaps
the shot out of him and says, but to me, you're just another
little punk and then he flashes big tam sort of murk sucks fired. Yeah,
why don'd you take seven dollars to go do six egies? And fuck
off? Yeah? Go away. John Cena gets slatted and comes Yeah.
So we go backstage. Stephanie finds Chris Jericho listening to his new Fozzy album
that he made Big Yeah, and says, Chris, I'm sorry. You
know you got a lot on your mind the night you got a cage match,
and I don't know if you heard about kardan Angle or Eric Bischoff being
here, but that's one of the biggest, one of my elite employees.
I just need to know that you're happy here. Jeri takes off. You
know, he's lessening, he says, am I happy. I'm ecstatic.
My band Fozzy. You know my band Fozzy. I was just listening to
my band Fozzy, and new city of my band Fozzy comes out this Tuesday.
Fozzy Happens Tozzy Happenstancing. I love one. No you don't. You
got Sandpaper on it. A lot of people forget that. Fozzy was like,
I don't blame you, by the way, but FAZZI was supposed to
be a cover band, that's right. Yeah it was. It was something
for Jericho just to fucking do. Yeah, it was just like whatever.
There's a ton of covers on this album in particular. But do you remember
to Kill a Stranger? No? I don't know, Yes I do,
yeah Stranger? Yeah yeah, yeah, that's the only song that I know
from I don't remember that one because they played it on RAW I think did
they. I remember Sandpaper because it was had the dude from Avenge seven phone
in. It was Mongoose McQueen on this album. Oh yeah, that's right,
because yeah, it was just fucking whatever it was supposed to be,
like a it was just then he started taking his series. Yeah. It
says to here that for the album, the band continue with their spoof that
they had spent the last twenty years in Japan being megastars, and once they
returned to America they realized that many famous artists have ripped off their songs.
The album therefore features covers of songs by Iron Maiden, Jews Priest, Black
Sabbath, Wash Scorpions that except Wow, well, Ray Masteria is putting on
the mask and he looks very quickly into a mirror. Dudelet's get the shit
out of me. Who I cane? It was he got two caes?
What you mean? I'm sorry about that. It was a spider Man spot
and he had a spider Man mask. We have Chavo Guerrero versus Ray Mysterio
up next. This is Ray's debut on SmackDown. Yes, travel comes out
to the l w A theme or Eddie' WSB thing, whatever you know it
is. But that's awesome because he I was looking up. I was like,
I wonder fucking shit, Ray, Misterio comes out to who's that jumping
out the sky? That is dude, Wow, what a great, great
song. He gets a huge presentation here and it is so cool man,
and he looks great he does, and he actually comes out jumping that's awesome.
Jumps out the sky. Yeah, oh yeah, man, And I'm
glad that he came in during like Paul Hayman's time around SmackDown. Oh yeah,
sure. And what a blessing in disguise that is. Like Ray could
have came in and just got beaten up by Rosie on Raw. Oh my
god, dude, Oh my god. He could have been's little friend.
He came in. They I swear they did the whole cruise way to visit
because of this guy. I believe it. I truly believe that, because
like this is I mean, because Haymen already worked with him before, right,
he knows how good this guy is, and like he's only gotten better
and these are still rocking. Yeah oh he got bigger, Yeah he did.
But mister, you are getting a huge presentation here and uh yeah,
man, wow, And I'll be honest with you too, man. Chavo
was really good during this run, especially with Eddie when they'rea when they're tagging,
I feel like his time goes on. Chava kind of loses the edge
he had here. But during this very specific era, Chava was like locked
the fuck in. He looked good. This match is sweet, this matches.
I mean I was I'm sure they had this a bunch of times too,
so it probably wasn't very hard. Sure, Yeah, no, this
this is a great showcase for for both of them. And like, yeah,
as you said, big presentation, Cole puts ray Over as the most
celebrated lucait door since Mill Mascaris, which I was like, oh shit,
Wow, I didn't realize they were really like going for making a star right
now. Yeah, yeah, we got money to make on. We got
that mask on now, we got hell of mass out on the stands.
Wow, we got macho teen. He's gonna be watching the show in like
fucking six years. This will change his life once he sees this. But
he's gonna watch it like this any era you probably never even saw this.
Hey, I'll tell you so. Mysterio here they start off with the shine
where it's all mysterio and it's you know, fantastic. Here They actually don't
get flip much time here, but they make every single second count, which
made for a very good match. Mysterio starts with a super impressive They go
into like a monkey flip spot back and forth that turns into a sunset flip
transition, and Irana I thought, all this was just awesome. So Mysterio
hits a move here next that Cole calls what's it's a sunset flip again,
which starts with him going over the front into a gory special position and then
follows through with another's sun set flip. It looked awesome. I don't know,
they probably don't call it turto ever again. I looked it up and
I was like, I don't see any move they ever called this, Like,
I don't know if said, yeah, this is so Chava's cut off
here released German suit plex Dude, that was awesome. Where did this chavo
go? I've never dude again. That's another thing that EVERT should do.
By the way, release German release is, where did this dude go?
This is fucking fantastic, Dude. We talked about it so much about how
like so many guys have shitty cutoffs. This is such a good cutoff and
Ray fucking bounced off the mat crazy. Yeah yeah, wow, what a
good cutoff. He can sell it all the way through this heat here,
just fucking good stuff. Chavo shouts out, you really worked your half this
match here. Ray works out of an abdominal stretch that Chavo gets him in
and he goes for a cross body, but Chavo just drop kicks him out
of mid air. Man, that was fucking awesome. Chavo throws Ray and
he slides under the bottom rope, literally just slides across me. Dude,
floor face first. I think he does that spot on his own now into
a splash on the floor, That's what I say. I think I saw
it as like a tag move or something like someone threw him into a splash.
Ray just didn't want to take that bump anymore. I'll land on somebody
though. Yeah yeah you cats with Chavo hits like a de Malinko gut buster.
Looked awesome. Ray gets back in with the jumping drop kick like the
old I'll jump off you and then pushed backwards dropping. Ray hits a tornillo
over the top of rope. I thought that would cost so Ray does a
double pump handle flip into a bridging neck pin. I was like, wow,
he said, look what I got. I got it. That was
like crazy that too. I was like I would have if that was the
finish, I would have not been like upset. I thought it was gonna
be. He was real close on that too, man. Yeah, yeah,
Bridge, that was awesome. Chavo hits the gory bomb that tas ends
up putting over huge here. He thought, yeah, they tell the story
of it being the Gory Special and he turned into gory bomb. This was
the gory bomb out of Ray going for a Yoshitanic. By the way,
Yeah, he like pulls him back up bomb. Yeah, they're working,
dude, does it? Well? This is coolish liking this. Man like,
wow, this is a good show tonight. That's all I'm thinking there.
This matches good. Yeah. I was like so. Ray then dropped
toe holds Chavo into the ropes near the corner. Yes, and he tells
d and Ray hits the sixth nineteen. Oh that's another area code six nineteen.
And then he hits the West Coast pop and he gets the win.
Man. I don't think they were calling it that yet, but I wrote
that down to yet definitely was yeah what was that run? Yeah, he
wins with the West Coast Pop. This match was under six minutes, by
the way. Fantastic six Yeah, I mean like really they every nothing was
wasted, like they didn't like there wasn't any long selling on any limbs or
like telling anything in that sense. But it was like all perfectly told from
getting to end with Ray getting the West Coast Pop. I mean, what
a what a sweet move that is. I was always so sad when he
started down with the dime is to have West Coast I get it, and
I understand why, but like, damn, the West Coast Pop was awesome.
That was like a finisher finish sure to me, man, Yeah,
that was like I believed everything Ray did out the West Coast Pop. I
was like, this doesn't beat anybody right here? Yeah, like good lord,
fantastic debut here. Ray looked like a master of the ring. Here.
Chavo had a real edge to him that he he's God. I wish
you would have kept this edge because like, yeah, no, I agree,
man, this was like this was like the best version of Chavo,
like him and Eddie together here, especially after w cw B a him to
a complete fucking joke. Sure, yeah, oh my god. Yeah,
you know it was cool that he had like a real edge looking at it.
I was just curious about because I was looking for the time of that
match, and I guess they Ray was working house shows for a month before
this with Chavo. It looks like oh in singles and tags, so it
was like Chavo and Ray. Ray would beat him, then Billy kim In
and Ray would team up to face Chavo into Jerry for a loop and then
like he would go back to it would be like Ray and Hurricane against Chavo
into Jerry. So he was married to Chavo for a minute here, and
then they do the match on smack Down. Yeah, probably just figuring out
what's the best version of this match swing put together? Right, Yeah,
and well they found it because that was yeah they did. It was fucking
sweet. Colin Taz hit some crazy one line here at the like they like
they I guess they're using these, like they probably put these in in posts
to like use these for later video packages. But like in sports entertainment,
there is only one Ray mysterio and that's pretty obvious. Cole that Ray Mysterio
will be the human highlight reelist SmackDown. Dude, these are raymon that and
in there, good little I was like, yea, the match is already
good. You want to sell me anymore on it? It's so it's so
funny watching these back, like for because like I guess, you know,
when listening to it on my shitty, big ass brick of a four three
TV with the quality it was, the dub commentary probably like sounded awesome,
like I never noticed it, but watching it back now, it's like,
dude, Sendheiser joints I can hear every single time, but it's dumb and
it fucking pisses me off that I can. So we go to Edge in
Jericho cage match later tonight. Graphic, yes, slow moving Graphic Test is
on the way to the ring and as he is, he runs into Ray
Mysterio literally runs into him. Yeah. They bump into each other in the
hallway and they stare each other down and Ray walks goes to walk away untild
Test with his big ass teeth. He guys, he this big fucking deep
righte fucking throws right into the bay door and says, go back to kindergarten
kid and leaves him there thirty. YEAHL was pissed by the way Cole says,
what the hell's wrong with me? He's a damn bully and that says,
oh, well, that's what happens when you're in the WF brought up
so test. Yeah. I like this the way that they set this up
with graphic of Edge and Jericho, right, yes, and then it cuts
back and it gives you enough time to think, oh, well, Ray
probably did just walk through the back. Yeah, he was. Just The
way that they like set this up with the times was very cool. They
do this later tonight with the Steffy thing where they go back to the ring
and then they talked to the match a little more so they can go back
and it makes all logical sense that Stephanie would be able to walk to the
parking lot at that time. Dude, Like you said, Like you said
earlier, this show is so easy to digest. Yeah, everything is like
super laid out very well and stuff. It's like you're watching a yeah yeah,
right, and I think that's cool. SmackDown is brought to you by
Maxim Hair Color. For guys. Oh, I want to go to win
a dinner date with the diva. Oh my goodness, that sounds fun.
Holy shit, you're just sitting there eating my dinner. Thanks for this,
sagetti, Thank you, thank you. I'm eating day. But you still
have to pay? Yeah, man, I only got fries and tends with
a cooking ice creamy? What my ice cream? Warm? So it's also
brought to you by Austin Powers. Go Tomember and there's Marvel fucking way this
movie isn't out by this point. Austin Power's gold Member to me is like
fifty years old. I've been watching that for forty years. I guess that's
crazy. Man, This movie back, it is a good movie, fat
bastard? Are you kidding me? Look at this, dude. That's the
really shit they were cooking with those movies. They were like powerhouses. Yeah,
they were. Where the fuck did all the comedy movies in theaters go?
I don't know where's any where? Are the opposite? Always Marvel for
that when they blew up the whole cinema, they got the Marvel cinematic.
Then we ain't got no more comedies because they happened laughing, Tony, what
happened to laughing? Why can't we laugh anymore? Funny doesn't equal money,
brother, I tell you I heard it was like something to do. I
think Matt Damon said its mad Dave Man. I think Matt David said somewhere
that, uh like not doing not being able to sell DVDs or something like
the biness. Oh yeah to Matt Damon, get you and brother. So
Taco Bell is also sponsoring SmackDown Bell. I did cheesy crunches, yeah,
Nacho uh doritos things. Can you give us the review of the slow Roasted
Chicken? I got that. I got that last pod it was the Cantina
Chicken Burrito with how was the Savage and all that ship? I thought was
pretty like like it was pretty good, Like it was pretty refreshing in that
sense that I and I said, Wow, this actually tastes like food.
This is awesome. James put fucking Diablo sauce on his ship right before the
pod. Yeah. I was like, we were like, let me eat
these real quick. I'm puting Diablo sauce all over these. Yeah. Yeah
that was good then. Man, you can never go wrong with the cheesy
gurdita crunches. Man, that's a classic. So now I was signed for
Test versus John Cena. Yes, and I uh, I was curious how
this match would go because obviously this is rookie John Cena. I was prepared
to fucking I didn't, but I was prepared to. I don't think I
plus ten anything on the show. I didn't because it was so easy.
It was so easy. But Yesh Sina runs to the ring here and Test
kicks his fucking ass immediately, you joke on my teeth, you die.
He fucks him up immediately, stomps him out big Kevin Nash back elbows for
like an hour in the corner, then stomps the ship out of him.
Sina, by the way, coming off a win over Chris Jericho at Vengeance,
Is that right? That's right? Wow? So they were fucking trying
with the kid they would try with, had his best Funaki. I love
being on SmackDown gear on This is crazy looking. It is crazy. You're
right Sea, by the way, Nothing that he would become later is here.
There's no way you watch this think this will be the goat in two
years. No, I don't think. I don't know if any of it.
He's just a creative wrestler right here. Yeah, he's just doing like
he's legit, just following tests lead here. Isn't that crazy? Also because
w w E loves like they love the blank slate guys, But for here,
there's no you can just go be a blank slate. Yeah. Yeah,
yeah, and then we're gonna fire you. Yeah. You getting out
of here too. You joked on Test his teeth. We can't let you
do that way. The crowd chant something I don't know are the chanting Luca?
Oh, I have no idea. I couldn't figure it out. Yeah,
I couldn't, Tony, do you know? No, I have no
idea. I heard him though, but I had not. I don't know
what they sound like, Luca I said with the arms blue. Oh,
dude, there's no way Wood. You might be right, Tony, dude,
I just was joking. They don't know. It sounds just lucha woods
shuck Wood, shut dude. There's no fucking Tony. You've ruined John C.
There's no I never got over it, Tesla, it's seen out for
the pump handle slam and hits it. Scena kicks out of two point nine
and Test is fucking piste and Test says the crowd did not care, did
not care at all, and they don't buy this guy at all. You
know that he has to win. Has that problem is like, Oh,
this guy's kicking everybody's ass, but when it's on for the match, why
can't he win? He lose a big loser, Yeah, especially against this
Jerbrin. Like if land Storm at Chrissher the chicken shit heels, this guy
probably shouldn't be the chicken shot beat the rock. He had a better show
to get the rock than the biggest fucking dude here with the teeth. Test
Tess is arguing with the ref. Now he shoves the reft the rough,
shoves him back into a school boy only for a two out test, and
loads him up for a power bomb. I don't know that bond. He
doesn't do it, not doctor bomb, he just normal power bomb. He
was gonna do the fallout joint right, Oh ship the can't yeh? Yeah?
Well, Seena floats over some set flip and gets the wind. John
Cena beats Test, but not before Scena gets back up and Test just kicks
him right in the face. The big shows teeth and then they find a
common bond and theyre John Cena, Oh sure, Okay, yeah, fine,
the Test probably if I were every I guess, so I guess else.
I think Sena had been winning like all his matches with flash pins.
I think that was the thing because he sucks, right, Test probably should
have won here. I think there's nothing seen with that. No, because
made fun of earlier, but beat him up. You're right, But I
guess because Test is going to raw and Seena's staying on SmackDown seeing they needed
to win. Yeah, you're right. I didn't. I didn't think of
that. Yeah, but you're right on the otherwise, Yeah, because I
mean Johnson got to make fun of him and still beat him. Yeah,
the flash pan is still. Yes, that's true, you're right. So
yeah, man, Test, big Bootsom, that's it. And then it
shows the cage lowering down for the main event of the evening Boom. Yeah,
they do the steel cage being lowered with and then show the timer.
Still there's thirty one minutes left on this show. I said that's not but
I was like, oh, yeah, that's right. I'm watching fucking peacock.
Yeah. Yeah, I want to say I don't Yeah, I don't
think that's right here. I looked at the same thing, and I agree.
Yeah, we go backstage. Stacey is calling somebody on the phone.
Yes, she's uh. They're both in Stephanie's I guess office here and Stacey
is calling somebody house a lot too. Yeah, let's just like this.
It definitely looks the same. And shut your mouth as well. It's just
exactly designed like the plants and shipping there. Yeah, yeah, that's weird.
They stop having those after Rhino gets fired for knocking one over at at
airport or a hotel. I think it was a hotel. Fucking ship.
Motherfucker. Won't kill your family. No, he was never that talked,
did he. I don't think so. It's not a lot of times.
I remember he might have grabbed the mic and said something every once in a
while. You can't do that anymore. Yeah, So Stacey's on the phone.
She says, oh, it's his voicemail again, and steph says,
give me that. Stephanie calls him again. He says, Hey, Kurt,
it's Stephanie again. I'm getting fizzed off here. Could you have returned
any of my calls? And you certainly you certainly haven't shown back up at
the arena shows almost over you know. I mean, I don't know what
you're doing here. We got edge change of production on the spot. He's
trying to leave people going to give food and you're not here. What is
going on? As he's at least brock Lesson had the common courtesy and tell
Eric Bischoff that he was leaving to his face. And with everything we've been
through, I expect you to extend me the same courtesy, and regardless of
your decision, I expect you to come back to this arena tonight and tell
me your decision to my face. And then Stephanie slams the phone. She
cuts it and says damn it and then stares off in the distance as every
steppany from ends for some reason, looking out there, I just lost one
of my employees. Looks over a test. You have been promoted. Test
you pick up that trash read Oh my god, wow, that is tremendous.
No more, locker room leader goes god test locker locker room Leader,
ship the fucked up man. Yeah wow. So SummerSlam is brought to you
by foot Locker Get your feet, Yeah, Footlocker House Hoops Present SummerSlam in
Long Island, New York and that's my neck of the woods, and Cole
says, oh, you know, he gets a meet on Saturday Lida and
says, oh, I'm gonna have to spin down there and say hey,
hey, what's up there? Honey sitting there, says he got real weird.
Like halfway through he got like real it's like, uh sensitive about it.
He's like, oh, ship, this is what people gonna laugh at
me for this one. So now we go to Edge versus Chris Jericho main
event steel cage match. Yeah, we're in the match already out of commercial.
Yeah, that is pretty crazy. You come out of commercial. All
right, we're Yeah. They showed that during the commercial. They sat on
the commentary he was hesitant to get in the ring, but it looked like
he was trying to just bring a chair into the ring and then Edge baseball
slit a door. That's exactly what happened. Yeah, Okay, Edge has
the white Monster caned gear on, which I think is very cool. Dude.
This Edge is awesome, man, I mean like it is. I
completely understand why Hayman little Babyface. Yeah, why Haymond saw something in them
like and immediately was like, all right, we're gonna go with you.
So Jericho tries to climb out the cage early here, but Edge literally pulls
him down and takes it. Like Jericho takes this crazy bump off the top
rope to the middle Jericho falls like they do the spot where Jericho falls back
into the ropes and gets caught in the top and middle rope Andre style.
Yeah, dude, Like, oh, territory work. I love that.
Yeah, that was very cool. Edge spears him into the cage when he's
stuck. Yeah, Edge, Edge, I'm the Jeri the hell. So
he tries to spear him again, but Jericho throws him into the cage twice,
and like, are you know right away to they're trying to get creative
with this, and like that's this is awesome, you know what I mean?
Yeah, the fucking match is about using the cage. So use the
cage. And I think that's cool that they do, you know. And
you know what's even cooler. J Games said, Edge is fucking bleeding.
Edge got blood, dude, Yeah, that's so sick, man, And
like that's the biggest thing is like this match is supposed to they hate each
other badly, and like you have this weapon around you in all corners and
it's time to use it. And I feel like with a lot of cage
matches we have lost that recipe in that sense of it's because I don't think
you can bleed like that, and I don't think you can do it.
Do you think it's the blood that is why? Yeah? Because to me,
because that's a big Southern wrestling thing, the blow off is the cage
and it is bloody as fuck. Yeah, you know what I mean.
It's time to end this and we're all bleeding. Everyone in the match to
bleed. How do you I mean that's the same like same with hellasl even
with the elimination chamber. How do you have these dangerous match types and I'm
supposed to believe that you don't get cut at all. Yeah, it doesn't
make any sense. It makes it make It takes me away from the match
even more. It makes me not like the match type because now I'm wondering,
why is he not bleeding instead of so Jericho rubs Edges bleeding head into
the steel cage. Jericho does the Jericho footpin and Edge kicks out and commentaries
like this, motherfucker man, I can't freaking Jericho tries to do the same
running spear that Edge did to him earlier in the ropes. But Edge moves
and Jericho hits the cage. So yeah, Jericho ties Edge up in the
ropes same way that Like you said that, uh he was sa up earlier.
He starts punching Edge in the head and then Tests says, oh,
it looks like Jarco's using Edge as a human speed bag. Are you talking
about, brother? So Edge hits the triple line edge of cutting Edge,
the triple winning Edge. There's a lot of Edge moves there, buddy.
So Edge is a crazy name, by the way. So anyways, Edge
goes for a drop. Miss Edge goes for a drop, kicking missus just
each ship flat back. Jericho goes to the lion saw. Edge puts the
knees up. Edge just the Edge omatic for it too. Oh yeah,
man, I fucked up. I wrote education eduction is the DT it is.
Yeah, this guy's got all these edge Come on, man, Bikini's
gonna yell me if I write all this. Yeah, dude, I'm so
confused at the time, Like I think the edge of matics the goddamn downward
spiral, and I'm like that's not right either. No, that's not right
either. Yeah, he don't even fucking fun with the Dow Spiral no more.
And that was Nails album and I wish you would have kept doing it.
Man. Yeah, it's like Bar and Bar with the Edge Ejaculator or
whatever the hell, Gunning winning and fucking Edge. Yeah, it says that
Edge omatic for a tea. Yeah. Yeah, Edge tries to climb out,
but Jericho stops him, and you know it's it's fucking funny. As
time goes on, I don't hate the escape fucking thing like it. I
think it depends case by case. But like if yeah, you know what,
because part of me, I you know, like I said, it's
a Southern blowoff. You're bleeding, You're bleeding, everyone's fucking bleeding. Someone's
gonna fucking die in his right right. But I also get the that's like
a South thing. I get the North cage match, if that makes sense,
where it's like this guy's gonna climb out of the cage. It's like
a difference in philosophies, and I think as I get older, as time
moves on, I don't hate as much because I understand that it's a difference
between the territories of like cage matches. So this match needed it because Jericho's
a piece of shit, and if you have a heel that is super heated
up makes all the sense in the world to have this because it's like,
Wow, this fucking fucker. And then when he gets his come up and
it's like, oh, that was awesome. You you tried to fucking win
the shitty way and you lost because you're an ass. There's there's some real
credence to being able to escape the cave, but there's years of just like
cage matches, for cage matches where there's no fucking I didn't get it,
this was you. You can just climb over and win. It's like,
well, who comes? Why Why would I want the hardy boys to climb
out and leave here when they're facing fucking Valvenus and sever Richards beat their ass.
It makes like it makes sense because he goes up and then has to
make the decision in his brain whether or not to I can with the face,
can go I can win like this, but you want to? When
I was younger, I think I was like, Wow, this guy is
very fucking stupid, Like he could have just gone the match like why would
he do that? It's because like he's having like an internal conversation with himself
of all, Oh, I could win like this, but I don't want
to win like that, you know what I mean? Like I want to
hit this move, get all the glory, get the pin. I want
this to be a fairy tale ending. This match needed the step And like
the matches like this are, I like it. Yeah, I like.
I like both. I think I I definitely, I definitely. I hate
the way that WB ends up using cages where nobody's bleeding, everyone's climbing out,
you know what I mean, Like that sh shit, This match is
not scary at all, and why who cares? Yeah? But I like
the I like the the Southern blowoff cage. Like I hated the way that
it was almost never a blowoff in w B. It was always just a
GM stop. Yeah, it was just it was here, we'll throw this
on TV this week a cage. Yeah, I definitely think there's Yeah.
I guess maybe just as time goes on, I get more lenient on things,
or I start understanding things a little more sure I can understand points of
view. It doesn't matter. No, you're right, Yeah, I went
on tangent there. So Edge u tries to climb out, but Jericho stops
him. Jericho goes for a superplex, and this ship was crazy. He
goes for a superplex, Edge reverses into a top rope gordbuster, sit out
top rope gordbuster, which blows Taz's mind because Taz calls it an inverted power
bomb type by maneuver is Oh yeah, dude, top rope sit out gordbuster
is gnarly. That was unbelievable. I was sitting there for a second.
I said, this might be one of the best episodes of wrestling we watched
in a long time. This is awesome. Yeah, and Edge is bleeding
and it's like, oh, ship, he's got the white on the real
man. So Jericho's slingshots Edge to the casion. He goes to climb out
the door. What an asshole? Fuck this guy. I fucking hatres Jericho
for trying to win like a bit yelling at my TV. So Edge grabs
his leg and he pulls him back in, but Jericho pulls back in with
a chair in his hands, and Jericho head shots up Edge. She unleashes
this chair into Edge's fucking face. It is nuts. So Jericho gets the
pin, but it's a two. The crowd is popping up, so Jericho
goes to use the chair again, but Edge hits the spear. You go
to go, oh, that's it. I was like, Oh, that's
a pretty cool finish. Jericho kicks out it. Let's go, let's go,
let's go. There's two dudes in the front road that turn on each
other in fucking high five. I said, let's tracked down sunk. Edge
climbs the gage again, but Jericho low blows you pieces ship, bitch.
Yeah, that's dude, Jared. And it's also it's awesome because Edge is
like at his end with this, like he's bleeding, he cannot, like
he knows he's fucked, and he's like the only way I can do this
is if I climb out of this fucking thing. And he's like crawling for
his life to get out of this cage. Because that, yeah, dude,
I love it. And it's like some real like suspense like if it's
done well, yeah, they elimination ship, Like yeah, dude, tremendous.
So Edge goes to climb, Jericho gives him a low blow, perfect
timing, low blow hits a bulldog off the top rope, dude, and
the same one that he is setting up for the Lion Salt, like right
off the top. So Jericho climbs to the top of the cage and he's
getting out, feet dangling off the side. Edge grabs them, pulls them
back over the top. Jericho then goes on Edges shoulders on the top rope
and Edge electric chair drops Jericho from the tongue. Bro. When I say
this ship sounded like a fucking bomb going off, I mean it, it
was. I was like when he had him on the shoulders, like,
okay, Jericho's is gonna slide back and like power bomb or something like that.
They went off the top electric chair. This was incredible ship. I'm
thos, I've never seen ship like this. Yeah, man, like wow,
wow, what a great episode here. And they die on it,
by the way, they just lay there for a good minute. Yeah.
Tess is like, oh my fucking god, my god. So Edge,
Oh my goodness. So Edge is now climbing over the top as Jericho is
crawling towards the door. It's a race to see who can get out.
Oh my god. Edge makes it over the case before Jericho can crawl out
the door and Edge wins the match. That is, like the crowd like
rights off out of this. I was like, this is this is the
perfect This might be the perfect cage match. Like it's not the best cage
match ever, but like in terms of the story and what you can do
with a cage and how you can use the cage or your advantage, especially
when you have the escape stip, this is the perfect cage match. Statement
win for Edge. Here too many yes, statement win. They said this
is our guy, I promise you it is. Yeah. I'm seeing this
and I'm saying I'm I'm fucking bo god wow. And then Lance, Storm,
Christian and Tests come out and attack Edge ringside. They thaw them back
in the cage. Apparently they're helping Jericho because Jericho helped them. Sure,
and then they joined on the assault and their beaten Edges And he's Canadian fucking
bitch, but we hate him, thought. He starts projecting crazy. So
John Cena comes out to try to help. But it don't matter. Man.
You know, he ain't doing shit. He's trying to look at this
dude and all this sudden, Dude, I said, there's no way,
this is the moment this happens. I couldn't believe my fucking eyes. Dude,
I okay, I win the match. When they announced a cage and
Raymsterio on episode I was like, oh, could this be? And then
it goes on. I was like, no, that must be like later
in his career with something else. And then I'm like, oh my god,
it is this. How awesome was this? Raymisterio climbs the side of
the cage here we already had this amazing cage match between Jericho and yes,
Raymisterio. At the end when Lanstorm, Christian tests and Sina and everyone's in
here and Raymsteriro climbs to the top of the cage, no hesitation at all,
huge cross body off the top, take everybody out in that bitch.
That was awesome. That was incredible, and it's legit. Like the small
interaction we had with Tests where I was like, fuck, these dudes jumping
off this game, and he jumped jumped. He didn't like just like kind
of go off. He took a leap. I said, whoa got air.
If they were on the opposite side of where he was standing, he
would have still made it. Yeah, you're right, he would have.
Dude, unbelievable, Like what a Oh my god. He not only got
a great match of Chavo, he gets the moment of the night here with
us and you get in his first night on WTD. Yeah, this was
unbelievable. They used this in b roll for the next twenty five years,
you know what I mean, Like this, this is like I'm pretty sure
they put this match on like the twenty year Best of SmackDown DVD. I
mean, it's like the coolest shit ever. He full jumps like he was
like so into this. He was up crazy. Yeah, I'm about to
make this stick, crazy, funny, Oh my god, and they like
me here and yeah this is awesome, mysterious kicking everybody's ass. Seena Edge
of Mysterio get everyone out of the ring. Jericho climbs out over the top
before they can get their hands on Jericho. Wow, just the last second,
like Heal Jackson gets out, he leads and goes to Raw. Edge
gets over huge, He gets everything he ever wanted to get on Jericho.
Mysterio comes out looking like a badass. You know you got fucking Lance Store
Christian Test going to Raw two and like they're all heated up and yeah and
you got and you got seen a ray, big baby face edge, huge
baby face. Now it's like, you know, I won't see him,
but like you know, they they trying. This was a statement, like
you said, yeah, real statement match here and what a fucking fantastic made
a fan man like cap off the show. I was like, wow,
yeah they did. They had a great show. It's back. Yeah,
so he got back stage. Stephanie is talking to Billy Kidman. This is
funny as ship. Yeah. Billy Kidman and Stephanie are watching the show on
the weird SmackDown set monitor strange and Billy says, oh, man, what
a great imagine. Stephanie looks him and says, can you do that?
You know the whole dive thing. I thought Billy Kimo was gonna say,
you fucking kidding me? Are you fucking have you not seen anything I've done?
Ever? You know who I am? I can barely finish well before
he really get it, he says, yeah, I can do that.
Well. Stacey runs up and she says, steph you don't gonna believe this.
Every push offs in the parking lot and Stephanie goes into the void and
then she runs out of the crazy here. Stephanie's like, look it off,
like real crazy day. She runs away, and then we go back
to the ring and they show edgen scene and Ray still celebrating in the cage
and tests, Oh, Eric Bischoff is here. Well, I guess he
does have a set of testicles and Cole's putting him over. He says edge,
John Cy and the ramise her the future of SmackDown taking control tonight.
I was like, oh, that is fucking awesome. Yeah, they had
a vision and it's like yeah and was here and yeah hours go. Yeah.
So anyways, yeah, so they go back to the ring to talk
about that. They get over all the guys again just to make sure the
timing makes sense for Stephanie to go to the parking lot to the limo,
so they go to the bottom. It is awesome. I liked that a
lot and it makes it feel like it's an actual event, Like I'm like,
oh, yeah, they're still out here celebrating because that was a yeah
fucking win because they could have easily just followed Stephanie all the way there,
but they said, no, let's go back and fucking let's say this was
a high pass match. Yeah, let's put him all over here. So
Stephanie goes to the parking lot to the limo and she tries to open this
limo door. She's trying to get the hell out my parking lot, fucking
trying to open the door, and Bischoff pops out through the sun roof.
High Steph could to see you. You're so right, You're so right.
He comes out of this sun roof and like he the pause, he takes
his fucking six com style. He comes out smiling and they just stare at
each other for a minute and he goes, hi, Steph, Oh fuck
you. He says, you get my flowers? Did you read my card?
I told you SmackDown's loss will be Raw's gain. And I told you
I knock you out. I told you. He looks down inside the limbo
and he says, did we knock her out? It looks back up.
He says it was a jab, it was a right cross, it was
an eppercut, and she's down for the count. Let's get the hell out
of here. See you on Monday at Raw. And the fucking limo drives
off and he's still talking shit. I said, fuck you fuck you.
So Stephanie standing there and she's shocked, and all of a sudden, Kurt
Angle walks up behind Stephanie and he's standing there and they're both staring out of
his limo driving away, and Kurt says, the heck was that all dub
dude? The way he walks behind her and just sits there and looks at
the limit too. She doesn't see him as awesome. It's full sitcom.
That's a great way to put it. That's awesome, man, he marks
out. She's like, she, Kurt, you're here, and Chrit says,
yeah, smack down. He says, yeah, but you want to
Eric and I left your messages and no one can find you. And Chrit
says, yeah, my brother Eric is this before after that? Well?
He era, oh he did Rember Christmas time. Eric, Yeah, let's
go. I forgot about that. Wow, Yeah, because I was thinking
of, you know, him swapping doing the fucking twin magic with him against
brother. Yeah, he did have that was awesome man. Yeah, my
brother Eric, and I turned my phone off. You know, I was
so mad after what Brock did tonight and I just had a let off some
steam. And this is like this is the most cliffhanger as ending to a
show I may have ever seen in this company was crazy. Stephanie looks a
Curt and she says, Kurt, well, if you weren't in that limo,
and then she looks out into the distance. Then who is her?
And Kurt bro stare out concerned at the limo. They show the trademark and
the show fades out. I said, wow, this is this wrestling?
Maybe is good? I legit and it took me a minute. I said,
wow, what a great episode. It's like I want to have his
next So I start watching the next episode. I said, oh, ship,
we'll probably watch this someday. Yeah, myself, I was gonna do
the same because I was going to watch the next raw. I was like,
ah, maybe I'll wait. Yeah. I was like I was ready
to watch more snaight And I said, all here, right right, yeah,
all right, cook me in. That's the first time in a while
I've done that. So thought that was awesome. That limo fucking rides off
thirty six bitches called me the lady can't go Pops set up to Yeah,
driving to the church's ice cream shakas shit, let me get so wow Yeah,

was fucking fantastic. Man. I had such a good time watching this great
