<v Speaker 2>six years, but I wow, Yeah, I returned to WWE.
<v Speaker 2>I was on SmackDown this week. Not a Zach Ryder.
<v Speaker 2>We heard the woo woo, we got we got faked out.
<v Speaker 2>But it's as Matt Cardona. So uh man, what a
<v Speaker 2>what a what a night, what a what a ride?
<v Speaker 2>I want to thank all you guys supposed to YouTube,
<v Speaker 2>Brian and Mark with a social media posts and all
<v Speaker 2>the fans, everybody who reached out. I definitely felt the
<v Speaker 2>love and support, so so thank you very much.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it seemed like there was a lot of people
<v Speaker 1>posting very nice things but also really funny things. Did
<v Speaker 1>you see the story that Dark Chic told. Yes I did, Frian,
<v Speaker 1>did you see this?
<v Speaker 3>I think someone sent it to me.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the about the water. Matt said I had to
<v Speaker 1>send people somebody to get water and they said, oh, thanks,
<v Speaker 1>that's really kind of you, and he said, not for everybody,
<v Speaker 1>for me, And as I read that, I just saw
<v Speaker 1>him going for me.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Listen, what a journey guys, like you know, we
<v Speaker 2>got fired twenty twenty April fifteen, twenty twenty, and you know,
<v Speaker 2>like I guess, the goal was always to get back,
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't like from day one, what have I
<v Speaker 2>got to do to get back to W I couldn't
<v Speaker 2>think like that, you know, I couldn't think and I
<v Speaker 2>certainly couldn't think like with negativity or bitterness. I just knew,
<v Speaker 2>and I've posted about this like I had three options.
<v Speaker 2>I could be bitter, be negative, feel feel sorry for
<v Speaker 2>myself and fade into obscurity. I could just coast off
<v Speaker 2>the WW name and play the greatest hits and make
<v Speaker 2>money for the rest of my life. Or I could
<v Speaker 2>reinvent myself, try to outwork every motherfucker out there and
<v Speaker 2>create my own path. And I chose option three. And
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't easy. You know, it might seem like it
<v Speaker 2>was easy, but it wasn't. And it was a lot
<v Speaker 2>of ups and downs and a lot of hard work,
<v Speaker 2>but it all paid off, you know. Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>I mean my post here on the screen, you know,
<v Speaker 3>I meant every word of it, you know, And I
<v Speaker 3>think it goes without saying that. I'm proud of you
<v Speaker 3>and happy for you. But I think the bigger picture
<v Speaker 3>is like what I think you were able to show
<v Speaker 3>people what's possible, you know, because I think a lot
<v Speaker 3>of people sometimes get lost in that, in that bubble
<v Speaker 3>and the woe is me when you know, wrestling doesn't
<v Speaker 3>know anyone anything. You know, it's what you doesn't It's
<v Speaker 3>what you put into it, what you get back. TJ
<v Speaker 3>and I were talking about yesterday and we were laughing.
<v Speaker 3>We're like Matt was signed at twenty and then again
<v Speaker 3>at forty.
<v Speaker 1>Oh.
<v Speaker 2>I just thought so, like, oh my god, but like
<v Speaker 2>that's funny in a way, but also like it's also
<v Speaker 2>like anything's possible, right, everybody's story is different, and no,
<v Speaker 2>there's no no, you know what I mean. The only
<v Speaker 2>one's gonna tell you, no, is you if you accept
<v Speaker 2>it and don't try anymore. You know, I tell guys
<v Speaker 2>and girls all the time, but they ask for advice.
<v Speaker 2>I say, like you said, Brian, nobody has the same journey,
<v Speaker 2>No one has the same pant. No, there's no blueprint, right, Like,
<v Speaker 2>you might make it if you don't quit, and you
<v Speaker 2>definitely won't make it if you quit. So just don't quit.
<v Speaker 2>It's as easy as that. It's the only advice I
<v Speaker 2>can give people. And that's the advice I kind of
<v Speaker 2>maybe delusionly optimistically told myself every single day, you know.
<v Speaker 2>And there are certainly times where listen, the crowd's rabbit hot,
<v Speaker 2>I'm making all this money on merchant, I'm loving life.
<v Speaker 2>And then there are days where I'm in the middle
<v Speaker 2>of nowhere, there's not a tweet about the show, and
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking what am I doing with my life? You know,
<v Speaker 2>like we've all been there, right.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>That being said, though, man, just from being around you,
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that you let this goal like consume
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts. I think, right, you had a great time
<v Speaker 1>and you and it certainly was at the top of
<v Speaker 1>your mind. But I think that like you would have
<v Speaker 1>been fine if it never happened, right like you you
<v Speaker 1>sort of you made your your your businesses and and
<v Speaker 1>and you pushed on that stuff. And I don't know
<v Speaker 1>what what what would you say to that?
<v Speaker 2>No, I made a post about it the other day, like,
<v Speaker 2>these past five years in the Indies were the greatest
<v Speaker 2>time of my career, uh so far. And like I
<v Speaker 2>said earlier, it wasn't like what do I gotta do
<v Speaker 2>to get themna notice me? Game? Blah blah blah. But
<v Speaker 2>of course, like every day when I woke up, I
<v Speaker 2>would say, Okay, my goal is to get back there,
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I did all the things I could
<v Speaker 2>do to control. But also like if it didn't happen,
<v Speaker 2>I built something outside and it's not like, okay, it's
<v Speaker 2>not like I was never there. If I was never
<v Speaker 2>there and never got to w w ever, it'd be devastating, right,
<v Speaker 2>And I think maybe I'd be a little bummed out
<v Speaker 2>I never got back there again. Right at least I
<v Speaker 2>could say, well, I was there, you know. I want
<v Speaker 2>the intercoll on wrestlming.
<v Speaker 3>I do want to say that for those that haven't,
<v Speaker 3>like because I say this all the time too, like
<v Speaker 3>it would be very hypocritical if Matt and I were
<v Speaker 3>like whatever, But because we've lived WW lives and dreams,
<v Speaker 3>so like, I always think everyone's got to find that
<v Speaker 3>out for themselves, if that's for them, or you know,
<v Speaker 3>or at least try it once to see, you know
<v Speaker 3>what it's like, I mean, because so if you haven't,
<v Speaker 3>you got to go for it.
<v Speaker 2>The truth is, I didn't grow up wanting to be
<v Speaker 2>a pro wrestler. Group wanted to be a WWE wrestler,
<v Speaker 2>a WWE superstar, right so, and you know you saw
<v Speaker 2>like Cody and Kevinoha's making fun of me a couple
<v Speaker 2>of months ago, right like that. He's so good that
<v Speaker 2>I brought it up all the time, because I only
<v Speaker 2>brought it up when I was asked first of all.
<v Speaker 3>But of course that was fairly true.
<v Speaker 2>Of course I wanted to work, you know where my
<v Speaker 2>wife works. Of Course I wanted to work the place
<v Speaker 2>I grew up wanting to work. Of Course I want
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to WrestleMania moment again, a wrestling mass work
<v Speaker 2>guard again, or walk into Target or Walmart and see
<v Speaker 2>my figure again. And now all that stuff as possible.
<v Speaker 2>I'm very grateful for it, man and listen. There were
<v Speaker 2>certainly times I thought it's never gonna happen. Like I
<v Speaker 2>remember one time calling SDL up when we were together.
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you need to go your own way because
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm holding you back because you're never gonna
<v Speaker 2>get there with me. I'm serious, really, Like there was
<v Speaker 2>a point, like a couple of times where I'm like,
<v Speaker 2>it's not happening, because like if not, now, when is
<v Speaker 2>it going to happen? What else would you what also
<v Speaker 2>I have to do?
<v Speaker 3>Like but no, no, Like that's the thing.
<v Speaker 2>I just I just didn't. I just didn't quit. I
<v Speaker 2>didn't take no for an answer, you know.
<v Speaker 1>I just you also took every possible opportunity that you had.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you had an insane year this year, working
<v Speaker 1>for so many companies. You know, it's just it's absolutely insane.
<v Speaker 2>And that's another thing too. It's like I took every
<v Speaker 2>booking everybody, the good, the bad, the ugly, right, Like
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to get out there, and I learned
<v Speaker 2>from every single booking out there, every single opponent. I
<v Speaker 2>learned something from, right, And like that's why I tell
<v Speaker 2>people work as much as possible. Yeah, Like, seriously, work
<v Speaker 2>as many shows as possible. Some people they only want
<v Speaker 2>to do the big ones, like everyone wants to only
<v Speaker 2>do the big ones.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, another thing that Tyson Kidds said yesterday during a
<v Speaker 3>seminar that I didn't really ever think about, and it
<v Speaker 3>doesn't apply to in this moment because right now WW
<v Speaker 3>is doing that holiday tour and they're going to be
<v Speaker 3>in overseas. But Indie guys have a chance to have
<v Speaker 3>like double the reps of a WW superstar, right, And
<v Speaker 3>that's how you get better. You know, the more shows
<v Speaker 3>you do, the more you learn, the more whatever. Then,
<v Speaker 3>like you said, the good, the bad, whatever, you just
<v Speaker 3>do them all. That's how you learn in this business.
<v Speaker 3>And like to a degree, WW superstars aren't getting fast
<v Speaker 3>tecked like that anymore because it's not possible. There's no shows,
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's just your TVs. So like ind you
<v Speaker 3>guys have the run of it, like you guys have
<v Speaker 3>like then that's a cool perspective, I think. Right, that's crazy.
<v Speaker 1>And there are areas too where you can have five
<v Speaker 1>shows of a week.
<v Speaker 3>For sure. There's plenty of cap guys busting their maskett
<v Speaker 3>in the car going up and down these coasts. You know,
<v Speaker 3>two or three times a weekend, working everything they can.
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. There's this young brother up here in New England,
<v Speaker 1>very new I think, two years in and he wrote
<v Speaker 1>that he had one hundred and seventy eight matches at
<v Speaker 1>least twenty twenty five.
<v Speaker 2>That's incredible.
<v Speaker 1>I saw him on New Year's and I go, I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>come on. I was like, I'm trying to do the
<v Speaker 1>math here are you counting practice matches? And he's like no,
<v Speaker 1>He's like no, and he showed me his cage match
<v Speaker 1>and his cage match had one hundred and fifty something
<v Speaker 1>and he said, I know it says only say one
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty, but there was some like really crappy shows
<v Speaker 1>I did that it didn't count, but he actually did it.
<v Speaker 2>That's incredible.
<v Speaker 1>And you know this is not some big name INDI guy,
<v Speaker 1>so it's possible if you do it. But I did
<v Speaker 1>want to mention brisk I talked a lot of about
<v Speaker 1>the I'm posted about the hard work and sort of
<v Speaker 1>what you did and how insane you were. You know,
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you're the hardest worker I've ever met. Sometimes I
<v Speaker 1>think to a detriment, which you know, sometimes you agree.
<v Speaker 1>But it's funny because it. Recently, there's been a lot
<v Speaker 1>of talk in my life about this hard work by
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to my daughter about she started basketball.
<v Speaker 1>She's nervous if she's going to be good at it,
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I'm trying to tell her that, you know,
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to be good at it unless you try.
<v Speaker 1>And you certainly can be good at it if if
<v Speaker 1>you work hard at it, if you practice you're dribbling,
<v Speaker 1>if you go out and you and you try shooting.
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I wrote that it's kind of it's
<v Speaker 1>kind of a lesson for everybody. I mean, it's a
<v Speaker 1>lesson that parents can give their kids, as as corny
<v Speaker 1>as that is, as to say, if you work hard
<v Speaker 1>enough at something, it will happen. And this is this
<v Speaker 1>is proof some of these shows. Man, you could have
<v Speaker 1>just went, you could have just did the match, but
<v Speaker 1>instead you brought a Jurassic Park jeep that every time
<v Speaker 1>an entourage of people. Yeah, cause you book the right thing.
<v Speaker 1>You made a moment, you got to figure out of it.
<v Speaker 1>You could have just did a match.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I you know, I listen. I can't say that
<v Speaker 2>I treated every single match like it was WrestleMania because
<v Speaker 2>I would be a lie. But I tried to treat
<v Speaker 2>every single match like it was a big deal, right,
<v Speaker 2>because if it wasn't, what am I even doing right?
<v Speaker 3>Right, would be big deals with people paying.
<v Speaker 2>The exactly right. I tell that to people all the time.
<v Speaker 2>If it's not a big deal to me, there's not
<v Speaker 2>a big deal to anybody. Like listen, at the end
<v Speaker 2>of the day, it's an independent show, even like the
<v Speaker 2>biggest GCW show is an independent show in Atlantic City,
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey. Right, But if I have to treat it
<v Speaker 2>like it's WrestleMania in Atlantic City, New Jersey or else,
<v Speaker 2>it's nothing or else? What am I even like getting
<v Speaker 2>out of bed for?
<v Speaker 3>You know?
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, the support over the past five years, every
<v Speaker 2>promoter who booked me, you know, everyone who brought me
<v Speaker 2>in for a signing, every fan who showed support, you know,
<v Speaker 2>the podcast fans, like every opponent, thank you.
<v Speaker 3>I have a question, how sad have all these promoters
<v Speaker 3>been that you told them you're not coming to their
<v Speaker 3>shows anymore? And part two, how many of the boys
<v Speaker 3>have just been like cockroaches trying to scoop up your
<v Speaker 3>bookings and stuff. Because I'll admit I was like, ooh,
<v Speaker 3>I would hop on that Adrian tour in Australia, but
<v Speaker 3>it's a una date I want.
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to defend his ACW championship.
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, without Roski there, I can get me and
<v Speaker 3>two of my friends in there to fill that spot.
<v Speaker 3>Be the same somebody Adrian.
<v Speaker 1>Somebody asked me for Broski's right, I said, two thousand
<v Speaker 1>dollars less.
<v Speaker 2>What a deal. Yeah, listen, it's unfortunate that, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I had bookings up until the summer that had cancel.
<v Speaker 2>But that's that's that's that's the rope the show business.
<v Speaker 3>I don't think anyone's upset by it, right.
<v Speaker 1>No, well, some some fans were trying to make a
<v Speaker 1>joke up about it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well whatever, it doesn't bother me.
<v Speaker 1>But I did, yeh, Ben Bishop.
<v Speaker 2>That was actually a fun way should holiday all those guys. Uh,
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, I listen, it was a hell of a ride.
<v Speaker 2>And uh, it's a depth the five years on the Indies.
<v Speaker 2>It's it's for the book. Like I couldn't I couldn't
<v Speaker 2>summon up here. I couldn't sum it up in a
<v Speaker 2>social media post. Uh you know, and I'll say this,
<v Speaker 2>I I don't really want to do some some things
<v Speaker 2>I want to keep close to the vest, you know.
<v Speaker 2>But I will say this when I when I signed
<v Speaker 2>my WW contract, which now everything's you know, you're not
<v Speaker 2>actually signing paper, it's all you know on your phone whatever.
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I can't even believe that I signed.
<v Speaker 2>I signed it with my GCW title like on my lap,
<v Speaker 2>you know, because it was over GCW. Then I wouldn't
<v Speaker 2>be the the Indie God. If it wasn't for the
<v Speaker 2>Indie God, I wouldn't be back in w W. A
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I I firmly believe that. So when I
<v Speaker 2>got fired, I looked at that picture of being my
<v Speaker 2>dad Wrestle Media, and when I got rehired, I was
<v Speaker 2>holding that GCW title. So I'm very sentimental like that,
<v Speaker 2>you know, good thing marks, Just do you do that
<v Speaker 2>match life?
<v Speaker 1>I did suggest, I did suggest you have a match
<v Speaker 1>with think two questions one yeah, uh do you think
<v Speaker 1>that now you will have time to shit?
<v Speaker 2>No? I think I'll actually have less time, really less time. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I will say this also, like this month of December
<v Speaker 2>has been the most stressful month of my life. Like
<v Speaker 2>mental health is a real thing, bro Like Like not
<v Speaker 2>that I didn't think it was real, but like I
<v Speaker 2>never really experienced it.
<v Speaker 3>Like this half had me and Mark a little stressed,
<v Speaker 3>and I was stressed about nothing and.
<v Speaker 2>I listen again, I'm not going to get into all
<v Speaker 2>the details, but it was kind of like i'll tell
<v Speaker 2>you exactly when. So after the SmackDown thing with La
<v Speaker 2>and Night, that's kind of when the ball got rolling
<v Speaker 2>right where there was like discussions like I will be
<v Speaker 2>in touch blah blah blah, and Brent. I don't know
<v Speaker 2>if you remember, we were at wrestle Kid and I
<v Speaker 2>was at dinner like after we had the match, and
<v Speaker 2>I left and I went and took a phone call
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know if you remember that, but like
<v Speaker 2>that's when like I got to like express martinis but
<v Speaker 2>show like that's when I got the calling. Hey you
<v Speaker 2>know we're interested, let's let's start talking. I was like,
<v Speaker 2>oh boy, right here we go. So it was that
<v Speaker 2>very stressful in a good way, right, like not bad stress, right,
<v Speaker 2>but still like is this gonna happen? Is this not
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen? Just the particulars all right, And then finally
<v Speaker 2>signed Christmas week so it's like very sudden. Then it's
<v Speaker 2>like okay, am, I zach Am, I Matt. So I'm
<v Speaker 2>having both sets of gear made and designed.
<v Speaker 3>My heart sank when I heard that.
<v Speaker 1>Me too, because I knew that you only brought the
<v Speaker 1>mad cardonah gear.
<v Speaker 3>We need a fresh start. That's not a fresh start.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and listen, I want to thank Downstate for the
<v Speaker 2>years with that with that song, right, Uh, it was
<v Speaker 2>time that you know, they wanted something fresh and I
<v Speaker 2>actually dig the new music. Uh. I liked it. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I liked it. I finished, which is awesome. Like I
<v Speaker 2>like that that that slogan put on the T shirt
<v Speaker 2>tt D, thank you for the T shirt. Yeah, but
<v Speaker 2>man like that even even that day going to SmackDown
<v Speaker 2>they smacked I was in Buffalo. I flew into Rochester,
<v Speaker 2>so no one receive me at the airport, right, and
<v Speaker 2>then I was hidden in the room all day. I'm like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>this is like I just want to I just want
<v Speaker 2>the news to be out there.
<v Speaker 3>You know, I said I was the same way and
<v Speaker 3>I have nothing really to do with it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>And I also want my loose lips sterling moniker to
<v Speaker 1>be eliminated, okay, because I did a good job here.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I was basically doing a mac cart on
<v Speaker 3>a shooting interview yesterday at ken Con. Everybody nobody asked me.

<v Speaker 1>Shoe's seen him?
<v Speaker 3>It's not rocking with well Rick books like that rockstar
<v Speaker 3>guy was his favorite. Maybe it get's gonna be the
<v Speaker 3>tickest place.
<v Speaker 1>Well, he might be jealous because Shoes had the hip
<v Speaker 1>swivel championship of the world.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Shoes is toxic, so maybe And I will say, guys,
<v Speaker 2>that stage is still slippery. By the way, I could
<v Speaker 2>tell you're walking real slow to get past that slippery.
<v Speaker 2>But guys, does this mean I'm back in the elite squad?
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand how you couldn't be.
<v Speaker 1>I have to assume that you are now the leader.
<v Speaker 2>Of they should come crawling. Oh, are we gonna see
<v Speaker 2>some has a partnership, So I'd be gladly there to
<v Speaker 2>help you. Guys.
<v Speaker 1>There's gotta be some video where you show up day one.
<v Speaker 1>You're the new boss. You're telling you need to.
<v Speaker 2>Come in like Ari Gold with a paintball gun and
<v Speaker 2>be like here, I see you, Sam Roberts, get him.
<v Speaker 3>Around the corn. Oh boy, Lakina was in Japan marking out,
<v Speaker 3>and I think he thought he was in like a
<v Speaker 3>fever dream, like he's upset. He's going to make a bill.
<v Speaker 2>I said, all back. He finally responded, it took him
<v Speaker 2>a while.
<v Speaker 3>Oh geez, yeah, did you post that that was too
<v Speaker 3>many stocky bombs?
<v Speaker 2>But uh, here's the.
<v Speaker 1>Other question, I hadsky. Has anyone ever okay, for example,
<v Speaker 1>Scott Hall, he was he went to w CW, he
<v Speaker 1>became Scott Hall, he came back to ww E as
<v Speaker 1>Scott Hall. Has anybody ever left and reinvented themselves on
<v Speaker 1>the indies and came back as their reinvention.
<v Speaker 2>I saw you, I I heard you mention that on
<v Speaker 2>silver linings, and I didn't even put that together, Like,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that's I don't know if that
<v Speaker 2>ever happened. Where you're saying strictly like indies.
<v Speaker 3>I mean obviously Diesel Kevin Ash.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe a TNA person who like spent years in
<v Speaker 1>TNA and like reinvent themselves or whatever the hell, but like,
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh, you reinvented yourself so huge on independent
<v Speaker 1>professional wrestling that they were like, nah, the more valuable
<v Speaker 1>thing here is Mac Cordona, not Zach Ryder, the guy
<v Speaker 1>that we we made years ago.
<v Speaker 3>Again, I said that anything as possible.
<v Speaker 2>Man.
<v Speaker 3>You know, no is only no if you believe it
<v Speaker 3>and stop trying, right.
<v Speaker 2>And I said this before and people they I think
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people thought it was like a shot
<v Speaker 2>or but it was never meant as a shot when
<v Speaker 2>I would say, WWE was my developmental but it taught
<v Speaker 2>me everything I needed to thrive and succeed on the indies,
<v Speaker 2>where I'm like, how come no one's doing this? How
<v Speaker 2>Come no one's doing that? How Come no one knows
<v Speaker 2>how to do like an interview? How come nobody could
<v Speaker 2>talk in sound bites? How come nobody commission myself experience?
<v Speaker 2>It's valuable stuff I learned in WWE. And then I
<v Speaker 2>flipped the script and became what people what they loved
<v Speaker 2>me for w I'm like, well, I'm gonna make them
<v Speaker 2>hate me for that now, So like WWE set me
<v Speaker 2>up for that indie run and then I just ran
<v Speaker 2>with it, you know, and now back as Matt Cardona.
<v Speaker 2>It's it's surreal, to be honest, Like I don't want
<v Speaker 2>to say I don't I don't even know how to
<v Speaker 2>describe it. It feels like it was just meant to
<v Speaker 2>be where. It's like I don't feel like any difference,
<v Speaker 2>Like Okay, I'm in w like that's what it was
<v Speaker 2>supposed to happen, you know what I'm saying, right, Like,
<v Speaker 2>of course I'm excited and I'm proud, but it's like, okay.
<v Speaker 3>Well and then like we go, within a month or barely,
<v Speaker 3>you'll be right back in the think of things and
<v Speaker 3>just it is what it is. It's your job, you know.
<v Speaker 2>I kind of feel that already, Like I feel like
<v Speaker 2>this like this is maybe like now you have to say,
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like I was meant to be here,
<v Speaker 2>so like I just feel like it's part of the process,
<v Speaker 2>you know. It's everyone has a different story and this
<v Speaker 2>is just part of my roller coaster ride. And I
<v Speaker 2>love roller coaster as you guys know that at the
<v Speaker 2>universe baby coming up.
<v Speaker 1>Holy smokes, and to put button on this, uh going
<v Speaker 1>Forward to the Future podcast every Monday, live podcast audio
<v Speaker 1>drops every Friday, podcast video drops every Saturday. We will
<v Speaker 1>try to have a vlog every Monday on the YouTube channel.
<v Speaker 1>Broski will still be doing figureuts. Everything on Patreon stays.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The answer the questions everyone was asking, the podcast
<v Speaker 2>is safe, Major is safe? Guys, Well, you know, maybe
<v Speaker 2>sometimes there'll be some scheduling issues, but we've never missed
<v Speaker 2>a week ever. We're gonna say a lot of people
<v Speaker 2>asking me about live shows, I mean, that's the only
<v Speaker 2>thing with scheduling, right, I literally said, I think it's
<v Speaker 2>just a schedule permitting thing. And I also said, worst case,
<v Speaker 2>I'm especially in our new format, Mark and I can
<v Speaker 2>certainly handle a guest in an interview and a meet
<v Speaker 2>and greet. And then if someone named mac Ardona comes
<v Speaker 2>to said location to hang out after, right, no one's
<v Speaker 2>gonna stop that, you know. Yeah, it's just a scheduling thing.
<v Speaker 2>And and and someone just he Cruizes wrote this. I
<v Speaker 2>gotta say it because I know it's Bride's favorite quota
<v Speaker 2>vide is that this whole journey was never about proving
<v Speaker 2>people wrong. It's about proving myself that Joe Jo Shoes
<v Speaker 2>is what it was really. I mean, I was hearing it,
<v Speaker 2>and then he said, I'm like, yeah, bro, I've heard
<v Speaker 2>that one a lot. See that's something I learned in WWE.
<v Speaker 2>Is how you talking sound bites? You know what I'm saying?
<v Speaker 3>You know, like that clip a couple of months ago
<v Speaker 3>is going around of Regal doing U manga and it
<v Speaker 3>was like ninety seconds worth.
<v Speaker 2>You probably get like a good you one like Van
<v Speaker 2>Vliet and everything. Ariel Hawani would be like the same
<v Speaker 2>if someone myself.
<v Speaker 3>Wrong, rude myself ro.
<v Speaker 1>I also want somebody to cut together a highlight video
<v Speaker 1>of all the times that babyface chanted chicken to you,
<v Speaker 1>just like a whole yeah get it and then you.
<v Speaker 3>Go check, how are you gonna wrestle without the Internet
<v Speaker 3>title and hold people up and they duck and you
<v Speaker 3>hit the wrong.
<v Speaker 2>Out at the belt. That happened. I so not that
<v Speaker 2>I've retired. I'm still the Internet Champion, but it's it
<v Speaker 2>came out of my gear bag, you know. And I said,
<v Speaker 2>I have a permanent place in the new toy room
<v Speaker 2>office with the old Internet title.
<v Speaker 3>But the old inner time it might be new again.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Michelle makes the new Internet title with my new figure.
<v Speaker 2>Who knows, I don't know. But guys, thank you so
<v Speaker 2>much for support. I'm back Jack. Oh look at Chelsea,
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea Green. I'll tell you what. She is not happy.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if we're gonna ride together, guys, Like, honestly,
<v Speaker 2>for your marriage, I don't think you should. That's too
<v Speaker 2>much time together. I'm honestly, I don't know if we're
<v Speaker 2>gonna ride together or travel together.
<v Speaker 3>Like like I said, I'm literally suggesting you don't because
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that's too much time together.
<v Speaker 2>So like, for instance, like I flew into like I said,
<v Speaker 2>I flew into Rochester, not Buffalo. So by the time
<v Speaker 2>I got to the hotel room, it was like little
<v Speaker 2>after one o'clock. And I had to wake her up
<v Speaker 2>because I needed to get tanned because I couldn't get
<v Speaker 2>a tan because the day before was New Year's Day,
<v Speaker 2>tanning salon closed barber shop clothes, So she had to
<v Speaker 2>tan my back like one in the morning. Ship like that. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>And then after the after SmackDown, I'm you know, I'm celebrating.
<v Speaker 2>You know, Cody invites me on the bus for for
<v Speaker 2>a cocktail. Chelsea's back, let's go. I couldn't even had
<v Speaker 2>to chug the old fashion I couldn't even enjoy knock
<v Speaker 2>it on the bus door.
<v Speaker 3>Ride with that Harvest girl or whatever's going on.
<v Speaker 2>Ye yeah, what a what a, what a? What a sorry?
<v Speaker 2>First ever Ken Con guys our transition. Yeah all right, well,
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, I get the shirt. I'm not finished on
<v Speaker 2>w W shop dot com and the song will be
<v Speaker 2>coming out very very soon. Get the shirt, baby.
<v Speaker 3>I bought the shirt, but I also Mackenzie wanted a
<v Speaker 3>new Morgan shirt, so nothing is shipped yet.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. And I will say this is ttd's
<v Speaker 2>first time designing a Matt Cardona WW shirt. He's done
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Matt Cordona shirts. First time with the
<v Speaker 2>WW shirts with thank you, TTD. I love you, know
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Rick Michaels who made the gear, like you guys.
<v Speaker 2>Oh without you, I don't know where I'd be working
<v Speaker 2>so fast around the clock. You know, appreciate it, like
<v Speaker 2>maybe my gear was falling apart a little bit because
<v Speaker 2>Rick made it in twenty four hours, but it came.
<v Speaker 2>It came, Thank you, guys. I love all you. Major
<v Speaker 2>marks And as that Hogan bashing brawler says, I'm back, Jack.
<v Speaker 1>Nate Mean says they saw Matt label as an all
<v Speaker 1>rounder on his cage match, so they had to rehire.
<v Speaker 3>Definitely perfect over the edge. They were, they were iffy,
<v Speaker 3>but then they read your cage match right, we should
<v Speaker 3>bring him back. Guys, you missed the first ever ken
<v Speaker 3>con cancel con. Uh what a time. Holy smokes Limbrook,
<v Speaker 3>New York. That little piece of shit Dylan postel No showed.
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe that, he said, the.
<v Speaker 2>Only you tell the story.
<v Speaker 3>He's he's telling me that in Appleton, Wisconsin, where his
<v Speaker 3>ass flies out of that the d icer broke and
<v Speaker 3>that's the only one they had where it's freezing pretty
<v Speaker 3>much ten months out of the air. The d icer
<v Speaker 3>was broken, delayed the whole airport by two three plus hours.
<v Speaker 3>He said he'd never make it. Went back home.
<v Speaker 2>But uh, I can.
<v Speaker 1>Believe that because Hartford only has one d icer and
<v Speaker 1>that's a much bigger city.
<v Speaker 2>I don't get how he was a W superstar. He's
<v Speaker 2>now WW legend, but he travels every single weekend. How
<v Speaker 2>do you live in an airport that is so like.
<v Speaker 3>Because he's always I mean, he's gonna connect no matter what,
<v Speaker 3>to Detroit or Atlanta and then start where he's really going.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but he can also drive to Milwaukee and
<v Speaker 1>just get it direct.
<v Speaker 3>That's ninety minutes, and I know that I do that
<v Speaker 3>every week. I'm just saying it's not like fun bro.
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, I can extra ten minutes of the airport now
<v Speaker 2>in this new house is by the way, I'm in
<v Speaker 2>the new house, guys. The toy room is not set up,
<v Speaker 2>but I'm in my kitchen right now. For those watching,
<v Speaker 2>how long do you project that set up to be? Months?
<v Speaker 2>Maybe years? I've calculated, so everything is packed, So I
<v Speaker 2>just I just I need a day or two to
<v Speaker 2>bring it over and then who knows. Then then maybe
<v Speaker 2>I'll do Star Wars. It may be two weeks to
<v Speaker 2>do Star Wars, two weeks to do Turtle because it's
<v Speaker 2>got at least summertime. But I want to have the
<v Speaker 2>office in there, the desk in there. At least I
<v Speaker 2>can start doing the pod in there. I don't like
<v Speaker 2>doing it in my kitchen counter. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>My first thing if I were you, my first thing
<v Speaker 1>that I would do is is the setup? Is the
<v Speaker 1>is the podcast?
<v Speaker 2>Could someone find me a cool looking desk? Guys?
<v Speaker 3>Come on, that post didn't work?
<v Speaker 2>No, Like, oh, guys, I would like a cool look
<v Speaker 2>I'd like the state of the art custom toy room.
<v Speaker 2>Please find me a cool desk.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you don't need like a one hundred and fifty
<v Speaker 3>dollars ikia.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, I have my Uplift desk. Is is the best.
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's plain, it's it's great quality.
<v Speaker 2>Send me a link to that, Mark if you don't mind.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, because you stand into stuff.
<v Speaker 1>It it's a standing it can automatic stand up.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's a no for me, Doug. Actually, I should
<v Speaker 3>backtrack here. My week started, and I know Mark has
<v Speaker 3>some photos here New Year's Eve for Christmas. I surprised list.
<v Speaker 3>I got Google's doll tickets hard Rock AC.
<v Speaker 2>Did they play the Meyers and Matthews song? They did.
<v Speaker 3>I said there's a clip though I swear it's in
<v Speaker 3>the bonus vog.
<v Speaker 2>Wow.
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't believe it, which I uh, let me. You
<v Speaker 3>threw me off track here, but I'm gonna go with this.
<v Speaker 3>For years you've been saying that's not a Christmas song.
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying I think it's a Christmas song. I was
<v Speaker 3>like kind of getting Google dolls out and I was
<v Speaker 3>doing you know, I like to be educated. This Drive's
<v Speaker 3>list nuts like I'll watch stuff prior to something, just
<v Speaker 3>to like inform myself. First off, I couldn't believe the
<v Speaker 3>Google dolls are sixty and sixty one years old, which
<v Speaker 3>I could not freaking believe. And then I watched a
<v Speaker 3>couple of inn and then that song is a Christmas song.
<v Speaker 3>It was meant for a Christmas album, but he didn't
<v Speaker 3>want to make like a stereotypical like Dingle Drinkle. But
<v Speaker 3>like so it's more like.
<v Speaker 2>Some liminal news which song, which song?
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, we got we got flagged for it
<v Speaker 3>because we the world.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, there.
<v Speaker 3>We are, dude, awesome facility that I am going to
<v Speaker 3>have to reach out to my teena contexts like the
<v Speaker 3>Sick Venue in the hard Rock which I guess used
<v Speaker 3>to be the trump.
<v Speaker 2>For us. No, it's dude, it's like that, not in
<v Speaker 2>that venue, just a different room in the.
<v Speaker 3>Oh for sure, for sure, for sure. Yeah, beautiful, very nice.
<v Speaker 3>But on the way there, I was like, hmm, this
<v Speaker 3>will only add barely thirty minutes of the trip. I said,
<v Speaker 3>we got to stop Yes, SHA's Steaks, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Missus
<v Speaker 3>Myers got to meet the infamous Scott What a legend
<v Speaker 3>and right there.
<v Speaker 2>He handed it to me. My card. Look at this thing,
<v Speaker 2>v IP professional. Look at card v v I.
<v Speaker 3>P Unlimited cheese Steaks for Life signed on the back.
<v Speaker 3>I have a Matt Cardona one here to share with you.
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, put that in the mail. Just an
<v Speaker 3>awesome time even. I mean, obviously everyone's impressed when they
<v Speaker 3>go to their LIS. Was like blown away. Just the
<v Speaker 3>most delicious goddamn things on earth. They're not leaving like
<v Speaker 3>the call of a cheese steak is like doing an injustice. No,
<v Speaker 3>because people think of chees stack. Is it's not that
<v Speaker 3>like I love that you love it?
<v Speaker 2>Because usually when I tell you I love something, you
<v Speaker 2>don't enjoy it.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think something would have to be wrong
<v Speaker 3>with you to not. I mean it would be like
<v Speaker 3>a vegan or something where you just can't have this item,
<v Speaker 3>Like if you didn't like if you have taste buds
<v Speaker 3>and you didn't like this, I'd be pretty spurt disturbed.
<v Speaker 2>We got it. We got a shout out herm the worm.
<v Speaker 2>He was the one who found this.
<v Speaker 3>Scott. He told the whole story to Liz. I told
<v Speaker 3>this story. He goes like this guy. We had to
<v Speaker 3>close down. We were telling so much. And then I
<v Speaker 3>look and this guy's waiting outside of the line. It
<v Speaker 3>was it was Cardona, but he had no idea who
<v Speaker 3>I was.
<v Speaker 2>Right. I was just waiting patiently because I'm a respectable
<v Speaker 2>human being, you know. I wasn't knocking down the door.
<v Speaker 3>Man, just wait. But just unbelievable shout out to him.
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was like so freaking good. Great time.
<v Speaker 3>Google also were great. I'm glad we saw him. I
<v Speaker 3>don't realized how old they were. I'm glad I saw him. Uh,
<v Speaker 3>they're kind of doing a I told this this is
<v Speaker 3>kind of like one for me, one for you they
<v Speaker 3>were doing with their songs. But it's still cool to
<v Speaker 3>see some of those, like you know, Iris and name
<v Speaker 3>like timeless ones that you know it's cool to see live.
<v Speaker 3>But uh, when he goes this song came out on
<v Speaker 3>her album this year, and everyone's going, what why? But
<v Speaker 3>great time? And then Ken con awesome. Uh Ken announced
<v Speaker 3>another one guys. Uh, I got that in the blog too.
<v Speaker 3>Coming up. It's in May. He's to do another one
<v Speaker 3>and he's already headlining it with Kurt Angle. So definitely success.
<v Speaker 3>Definitely a fun way to you know, meet people in
<v Speaker 3>a more intimate setting too, you know what I mean.
<v Speaker 3>It's not like an overwhelming con. It's like a mini con.
<v Speaker 3>A great time. And then best of all, I got
<v Speaker 3>to spend the weekend one of my best friends, Tyson
<v Speaker 3>Kid aka t J Wilson, slept over did a like
<v Speaker 3>sold out seminar at Creative pro freaking I mean forty
<v Speaker 3>something people that drove from very far came, spoke for
<v Speaker 3>two hours, took questions, we had another two hours of
<v Speaker 3>matches were there, you know, endlessly. Bailey ww Superstar even
<v Speaker 3>popped in to listen and hang out. And the other
<v Speaker 3>fun highlight for me as a dad, I was able
<v Speaker 3>to get McKenzie's Bailey figure sign that she was super
<v Speaker 3>pumped for us. We got to hang that one up
<v Speaker 3>on the wall and her collection and we kind of
<v Speaker 3>had just you can kind of see in the background
<v Speaker 3>there we like redid her a little rat. She's got
<v Speaker 3>a lot of really great signed figures now Paled poster
<v Speaker 3>huh Chelsea poster.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's up too. And I hung the money in
<v Speaker 2>the bank. You can see there it's hanging from a
<v Speaker 2>chain like in real life. I like that.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's really cool, so great, just a great you know,
<v Speaker 3>And honestly that even started with watching you guys like
<v Speaker 3>Liz actually had a girl's night and obviously I knew
<v Speaker 3>to tune into SmackDown, so I watched that with the girls.
<v Speaker 3>They were much more excited about the the female eight
<v Speaker 3>man tag prior to your match than your match, but
<v Speaker 3>just a great like.
<v Speaker 2>Or what what's that?
<v Speaker 1>Did they pop when he came out?
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean they don't. They're so wound up with
<v Speaker 3>the girls like they could care less about guys.
<v Speaker 1>I said that to Iris this morning. I said, did
<v Speaker 1>you hear about Matt And he said, what is he? Okay?
<v Speaker 1>Is he okay?
<v Speaker 2>Okay?
<v Speaker 4>Right?
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I was saying, just a great wrestling filled weekend,
<v Speaker 3>but like just positive vibes, you know what I mean.
<v Speaker 3>When ken Con was in such a great ken com
<v Speaker 3>was like a what not swap beat kept saying, I
<v Speaker 3>love it, dude, Die Jack is and whatnot? Guy now
<v Speaker 3>was trading stuff with him, really stuff, dude, It's just
<v Speaker 3>oh man.
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, hold on, let me tell you I did
<v Speaker 1>Dan Barry's final match.
<v Speaker 2>Oh how was it? Uh?
<v Speaker 1>Not great? But you know, let let's we'll just move
<v Speaker 1>on from that.
<v Speaker 2>It was on New Year's Eve does get into but
<v Speaker 2>he did tell me off air that they brosk they
<v Speaker 2>miss timed the match and the ball dropped in the
<v Speaker 2>middle of it a little bit. What wait, someone went
<v Speaker 2>over their time, miss tied whatever the hell they were
<v Speaker 2>trying to do. And yeah, the whole show, what was
<v Speaker 2>supposed to happen versus what happened?
<v Speaker 1>Well, we were the second to last match, so we're
<v Speaker 1>supposed to end. Dan does a speech. There's about five
<v Speaker 1>minutes they do ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four
<v Speaker 1>through to one. The ball drops, and then the main event,
<v Speaker 1>Cruel versus Bronson comes out. Okay, that always happens. Ball drops,
<v Speaker 1>everyone goes nuts. The hardcore guy come out to have
<v Speaker 1>a sick match.
<v Speaker 2>So you're telling me that the match before went over
<v Speaker 2>their time, like the whole show went over the right,
<v Speaker 2>but specifically that that second and last match they knew
<v Speaker 2>how much time they had, they decided to just get
<v Speaker 2>their shit in instead everybody did.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, even Art even.
<v Speaker 2>But I'm talking about that last match that was us.
<v Speaker 2>Oh so it was your fault.
<v Speaker 3>The Dan Barry Matt, I mean the.
<v Speaker 1>Dan Barry retirement match, his last match with eight people.
<v Speaker 1>To be totally honest, our match did not go over time,
<v Speaker 1>but we started. We just started late. That's the brople. Well, yes,
<v Speaker 1>but we suld have cut. That's so unfortunate. I know,
<v Speaker 1>I know that's so unfortunate. But it's it's tough. It's like, hey, Dan,
<v Speaker 1>you know this year, last match, you've been building this.
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, I love Dan Dan. Oh my god, I
<v Speaker 2>love Dan. I wish I would have wrestled him in
<v Speaker 2>this that last run.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was fun being there though, and I love
<v Speaker 1>those shows.

<v Speaker 3>He was getting condolences like someone had died in his
<v Speaker 3>family because everyone was saying, sorry, you don't have a
<v Speaker 3>job anymore.
<v Speaker 1>Joe Shu's post made me drink. That was so he said,
<v Speaker 1>I know everybody's excited, but Rocking with Dan might have

<v Speaker 3>Also, Rocket with Dan told me you made him overnight
<v Speaker 3>the a c W Championship of like, why could ros
<v Speaker 3>just do it himself? He has Pirates Ship and all
<v Speaker 3>that stuff?
<v Speaker 2>He was picking up my product anyway. No, And and
<v Speaker 2>the real reason is because Pirate Ship, Uh, you ups
<v Speaker 2>won't pick up from my house. So you didn't want to.
<v Speaker 2>Oh you didn't want to drop it off is what
<v Speaker 2>it was? Yeah, got it? That's what I paid Dad
<v Speaker 2>the big bucks for it. Dad, I gave Dan a
<v Speaker 2>Christmas bonus for that, So come on, Dad, I did
<v Speaker 2>just I didn't just say hey, can you do this

<v Speaker 3>come on anymore.
<v Speaker 2>It's boozing with the toys.
<v Speaker 1>We got to pick a date for that.
<v Speaker 3>Actually, we do have to schedule a new one for
<v Speaker 3>this January. It was a super fun time. I think
<v Speaker 3>that we're all drinking our garage beer guys having a
<v Speaker 3>great time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that we scheduled.
<v Speaker 3>That was another real highlight for me. A lot of oh,
<v Speaker 3>I know what you guys did. You had to get
<v Speaker 3>Brosky off booz him because he's back at WW. I said, no,
<v Speaker 3>we shoot fired him way before that because he's no fun.
<v Speaker 1>I almost mentioned that on Silver Linings today, but oh
<v Speaker 1>my god, that's too far into the weeds.
<v Speaker 4>Right.
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, let's tale.
<v Speaker 1>Ironic part to it. But yeah, super fun. Plus I
<v Speaker 1>definitely had garage beers over the holidays. Brought a couple
<v Speaker 1>with me to Dan Barry's last match there.
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to stock that house in Orlando though, party
<v Speaker 3>party weekend for sure.
<v Speaker 2>Wait all right, guys, Big news week, a lot of
<v Speaker 2>cool stuff you guys ready for this? Uh a little
<v Speaker 2>controversial Deep South alumni Angelina Love coming out with superstars
<v Speaker 2>scammers Angelina Love and Fodder. Now these are clearly like CGI,
<v Speaker 2>so I wasn't sure if these are real AI. I
<v Speaker 2>inquired these are you know, it's just concept art like
<v Speaker 2>we do. We do renders as well, right right, right right,
<v Speaker 2>these are actual figures and they're coming uh this spring
<v Speaker 2>pre order February twenty twenty six, Angelaue Love and Sycondboy Fodder. Listen,
<v Speaker 2>anybody who's taking a chance on themselves and betting on
<v Speaker 2>themselves and making their own problem.
<v Speaker 3>This I've been preaching this week that what they're doing
<v Speaker 3>is this confirmed. Yeah, this is they're they're making their
<v Speaker 3>own thing. So this isn't even like a new company
<v Speaker 3>that just has them signed. This is them doing something.
<v Speaker 2>I was in then impression that they're starting their own
<v Speaker 2>company and we'll be signing up. Maybe I'm wrong. Oh,
<v Speaker 2>don't quote me on that either way. Whether it's a
<v Speaker 2>new company or it's their company, it's new figures out there,
<v Speaker 2>a new figure form, and she's just kind of retro esque,
<v Speaker 2>looks like, yes, well she looks more zombie. Listen, I'm
<v Speaker 2>excited to see it, and and I like people who
<v Speaker 2>are taking who take a chance on themselves.
<v Speaker 1>Of course, that packaging is perfect is purposely retro, if
<v Speaker 1>you see.
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's more it's more like a rectangle. It's
<v Speaker 2>supposed like a square. So that's why I didn't think
<v Speaker 2>it was Hasbro esque either way, even it looks different.
<v Speaker 3>It looks and it will signed, you know, I can tell.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so from from from that, I can't say anything
<v Speaker 2>negative about it. So we see, time will tell on
<v Speaker 2>something like this.
<v Speaker 3>This is just so early you can't even.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, it's too it's too early.
<v Speaker 3>I'd also suggested some kind of jay hook or something.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, good, good call on that.
<v Speaker 3>If anyone hasn't caught that.
<v Speaker 2>Title Run Toys showing off Nikita cole off. This is
<v Speaker 2>a one of three hundred. This is gonna fly, I think.
<v Speaker 2>And then okay, I'm sorry. There's two versions. Is the
<v Speaker 2>the first one and then a one of three hundred version. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>I understand. Title Run Toys really up and up there,
<v Speaker 2>up and up stepping up the good one, and uh,
<v Speaker 2>I don't think this will fit my collection. I want
<v Speaker 2>him a big rubber guy. We had some collect we
<v Speaker 2>had some talk, we had some talk confirm. I know
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fans want him, We want him as well.
<v Speaker 2>He fits the big rubber guy time period perfectly for
<v Speaker 2>what we're trying to do. This figure looks great, but
<v Speaker 2>I'm just making some cuts with my retros and he
<v Speaker 2>doesn't quite fit the time period I'm talking about. But
<v Speaker 2>the next the next guy, Hastel Toys has a lot
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, like a lot of stuff here now. According
<v Speaker 2>to d Freedom's notes, he has like all these like
<v Speaker 2>weird names. So just put up the pictures and we'll
<v Speaker 2>talk about it. You know, you know what de operates.
<v Speaker 2>But this is Xanta Claus. This is great ak.
<v Speaker 3>Balls mahoney for those the no, this is.
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I see these things. Yes, it just makes me
<v Speaker 1>want to do another FWF so badly.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there's so many retro companies making so many
<v Speaker 3>figures that that concept would be nutty at this point.
<v Speaker 2>The options we'd have right right, So not that I
<v Speaker 2>want to do an FWF, I'm just saying.
<v Speaker 1>I kind of kind of sold you a little bit
<v Speaker 1>on boozing.
<v Speaker 2>Your vision is interesting. I'll say that I do like this.
<v Speaker 2>This is the holiday ninety five edition. How many Xanta
<v Speaker 2>Claus appearances were there? I think, like, wo right, this
<v Speaker 2>is the top shelf Troy question, remember it? What about Brooklyn?
<v Speaker 2>Brawler looks good? Sweet? Now we know Brawler was signed
<v Speaker 2>by Zombie Sailor. But is there something in his hand?
<v Speaker 2>In his hand? I don't. I can't tell.
<v Speaker 1>No, it's a fist.
<v Speaker 2>It looks good. I can't hit on it one bit.
<v Speaker 2>I think it looks good. I'll to my collection for sure.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and he fits it to me. If it's the
<v Speaker 3>time period, it would be fun to have. Next up,
<v Speaker 3>we have Bashian Burger. I just feel like burying Brawler
<v Speaker 3>for fun. Do you know Brawler? I heard from a
<v Speaker 3>couple of people this weekend. He tells people he's the
<v Speaker 3>best selling We growb a guy of all time. And
<v Speaker 3>I said, I said, I did a virtual this week.
<v Speaker 3>I said, that couldn't be further from the truth.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's I don't know if it's
<v Speaker 2>that extreme. But he's not the best seller. He's not
<v Speaker 2>even the top ten. So Bashian Burger here with the
<v Speaker 2>with the food fun. But I'm going to keep my
<v Speaker 2>my zombie, I think, you know. Yeah, so there's two additions.
<v Speaker 2>I don't well, let's friar Ferguson. This is a big
<v Speaker 2>hard pass for me.
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know who that is.
<v Speaker 3>It's it's it was the gimmick before they pivoted and
<v Speaker 3>made Himbashian burger.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know that that was yea, and it.
<v Speaker 2>Only again like Xanta Claus style two or three appearances.
<v Speaker 2>It's a cut, but there's there's a market for the deep.
<v Speaker 3>Cuts, right, of course, this is actually the one I
<v Speaker 3>would want, and the other one I would keep, the zombie.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, well I don't even know what this is,
<v Speaker 1>but I'm certainly going to look it up now. And
<v Speaker 1>I would also add this to my collection just for
<v Speaker 1>the weirdness of it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is one hundred per skip for me. The
<v Speaker 2>next one, though, how you really feel Kyle Peterson's cousin,
<v Speaker 2>Darryl Peters. Oh shit, it looks good. I think this
<v Speaker 2>is a fun one. It's fun.
<v Speaker 3>And again another guy. Man, this guy did not have
<v Speaker 3>a lot of matches, but.
<v Speaker 2>It you know, just I don't want to use word iconic,
<v Speaker 2>but if you were a fan during this this dark
<v Speaker 2>time man's.
<v Speaker 3>It stinks that he can't do the guitar, and I'm
<v Speaker 3>actually shocked Mitch didn't just do it because he's Mitch.
<v Speaker 3>But the guitar was like everything. I know, the real guitar,
<v Speaker 3>not that fictional guitar that the figures holding.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what about Tom Brandy. I think Tom's a must
<v Speaker 2>for me. This is perfect Tom Brandy to me, I
<v Speaker 2>could have could have got an early bone cruncher or
<v Speaker 2>I mean it wasn't a big enough star, but like
<v Speaker 2>was to me. It's kind of that that time period
<v Speaker 2>you know, Oh, you mean Salsand's here. I think, yeah, nah,
<v Speaker 2>because all those guys come like Summer ninety six and
<v Speaker 2>that's series one.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess you. Then it just wouldn't ever happened.
<v Speaker 1>That's fun, though, the man that ruined the blitz Creek
<v Speaker 1>pro Rumble in twenty nineteen because he didn't give a
<v Speaker 1>fuck about what anybody else was doing and walked in
<v Speaker 1>and did whatever.
<v Speaker 3>The hey, Dom Brandy probably still works three days a week.
<v Speaker 3>You don't know where the shows are and they barely
<v Speaker 3>have flyers, but he's working.
<v Speaker 2>This one is so cool. It's the the Ahmed Johnson.
<v Speaker 2>It's just like to me, I don't need this because
<v Speaker 2>like this in my mind is like a bone cruncher
<v Speaker 2>era the same.
<v Speaker 3>It's a it's an added value fun thing.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I need this if it's a passer for me.
<v Speaker 1>I love it.
<v Speaker 3>Very cool comic because he was in the crowd.
<v Speaker 1>This I this is a weird thing. I think I
<v Speaker 1>might like this better than the zombie.
<v Speaker 2>It looks good.
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying the figure doesn't look figure looks good.
<v Speaker 3>It's unbelievable, very is not even that's got to be
<v Speaker 3>so fake. Like I don't even think that photo exists.
<v Speaker 2>It could be him like walking to the ring, like
<v Speaker 2>a screen.
<v Speaker 3>Shot, but I don't think there is a photo of
<v Speaker 3>him wearing the pads.
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, that's what I'm saying. I think it's just
<v Speaker 2>like a screen grip of an entrance. I don't think
<v Speaker 2>it's He is.
<v Speaker 1>Shaking his head like yeah, kind of hes probably making
<v Speaker 1>fun of the photoshot ilegality of it.
<v Speaker 2>Probably four sergeant you know, you know Paul's loving this deal.
<v Speaker 2>Four Sergeant slaughters you know. Sorry, first, mahoney, here we go. Cool.
<v Speaker 2>I again, I don't think I'm gonna get it. What
<v Speaker 2>I don't because I'm making some cuts to my retros.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the East balls freaking money.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but he has no ww F ties like at
<v Speaker 3>this time. It doesn't really if that's the way you're collecting,
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't make sense. But yeah, yeah, are you gonna
<v Speaker 3>get a Brian for ECW? I think I kind of
<v Speaker 3>just because he's an EACW gun and he doesn't have
<v Speaker 3>a lot of stuff.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, it's unbelievable.
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Sergeant Slaughter a General add Nod from Spring ninety one.
<v Speaker 2>It's so fun. I mean, these are very very cool.
<v Speaker 2>There there are so many sergeants coming. I got to
<v Speaker 2>pick and shoes, so I don't know which one. I'm
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go a Tupac Ski too. I didn't realize
<v Speaker 2>that Sergeant add Nod. There's also the Sergeant Slaughter Fall
<v Speaker 2>ninety edition. I'm gonna I'm gonna pass on that, you know,
<v Speaker 2>like it's cool too. It's cool though I can't I
<v Speaker 2>can't hate it. And then there's a serge and add
<v Speaker 2>Nod Winter ninety edition. Maybe that's maybe I do that
<v Speaker 2>and not the other two pack. I don't need. I
<v Speaker 2>don't need two two packs tell you that.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I'm feeling you on that too.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe this is the one I go with.
<v Speaker 1>I need them all.
<v Speaker 2>And then the Sergeant Slaughter throwback edition that's eighties like
<v Speaker 2>g I Joe s Sorge. That's cool. Oh god, Uh
<v Speaker 2>that's his best like aesthetically, that's his best packaging a
<v Speaker 2>long time.
<v Speaker 1>Though it makes the g nott as bad.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah it does.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that looks great. Uh?
<v Speaker 3>What was it coming from? He was like on Instagram.
<v Speaker 3>I tried to watch this when I got home like
<v Speaker 3>late from like ken Con, and it's just like he
<v Speaker 3>was just rambling and never showed one thing and I
<v Speaker 3>tapped it.
<v Speaker 1>Was I always do.
<v Speaker 2>That's why D works for us and gets all these Ye.
<v Speaker 2>You gotta give D a bon for sitting through all
<v Speaker 2>the actual information.
<v Speaker 1>It's appointment viewing for D. Yeah, schedule, he cannot wait.
<v Speaker 3>It's like the way you guys get excited for Stranger things.
<v Speaker 3>Just excited for Mitch exactly.
<v Speaker 2>And Marker Craven Shader things, craving this.
<v Speaker 1>He's on. He's on the Grapplers and Gimmicks Reddit talking.
<v Speaker 2>He's deep in the weeds.
<v Speaker 1>What refresh my memory? What do we have for retros
<v Speaker 1>for Slaughter right now.
<v Speaker 2>Out just the Hasbro, because he just the Hasbro.
<v Speaker 3>He the whole time we were just showing these. I'm like, wow,
<v Speaker 3>Mitch really pulled a fast food on a zombie here.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he pulled a fast one. I think
<v Speaker 2>like or whatever, like beat him do it. However you
<v Speaker 2>want to look like he beat him to it, that's
<v Speaker 2>for sure.
<v Speaker 1>Zombie has a sergeant Slaughter coming out. No, okay, okay, okay, now.
<v Speaker 2>Showed off his regime. We have raven. To me, this
<v Speaker 2>looks horrible.
<v Speaker 1>Got to assume there's some sort of soft good jacket.
<v Speaker 3>It needs more love. The jeans need like the wash
<v Speaker 3>that like the goblins had, and maybe maybe we'll get there.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and with a leather jacket and maybe some highlights
<v Speaker 1>in the hair that improves a.
<v Speaker 3>Big Believe it or not, he showed us this in
<v Speaker 3>person that has a logo on the shirt. I'm like, dude,
<v Speaker 3>you gotta do something different than that, or pick something different.
<v Speaker 3>It's so tiny, al snow.
<v Speaker 1>The face was good.
<v Speaker 2>I just I don't dig. These straps are too thick.
<v Speaker 2>They don't seem premium to me. But we'll see. Maybe
<v Speaker 2>this is just protos.
<v Speaker 3>The straps are too thick on that single the top
<v Speaker 3>and the bikers are too long, right.
<v Speaker 1>But just keep in mind holding the godwins in our hands.
<v Speaker 1>They were great.
<v Speaker 2>Right.
<v Speaker 3>So I'm just visually critiquing what I'm seeing. You know,
<v Speaker 3>I know it's not a finished product.
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ed Johnson. Yeah, okay, I like this. That looks awesome. Actually,
<v Speaker 2>I face looks awesome. I can't hate on this one bit.
<v Speaker 2>And then the brothers Jacques and Ray this is fine, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>not bad. Okay. So we have Epic toys showing off
<v Speaker 2>their killer Bees one of eight hundred. These look awesome. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>so the package looks awesome with that lightning bolt.
<v Speaker 3>But these are more they already did bees. These are
<v Speaker 3>more bees.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, these are different bees with the jackets. The previous
<v Speaker 2>bees had the masks on. These, the headbands and the
<v Speaker 2>jackets look cool. Not for me, but look cool. And
<v Speaker 2>then a series five Ronnie Garvin, which might be for me.
<v Speaker 2>I might shabble this Ronnie Garvin, I mean, yeah, he's
<v Speaker 2>right there, he's right there.
<v Speaker 3>Do they just have him stomp out your mark sterling
<v Speaker 3>heels and faces?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>Deep cut people.
<v Speaker 1>I've worked with shelf.
<v Speaker 2>Zombie Sailor Toys showed off his Chris Candido. I had
<v Speaker 2>this in my hands at Ken Con. Guys. I love
<v Speaker 2>this and listen, I know it's just a painted on single,
<v Speaker 2>but that's what Hasbro.
<v Speaker 3>That's what Hasbro would have done. Anyway, it's sweet, and
<v Speaker 3>actually he did. He doesn't have the Triple Threat hand
<v Speaker 3>so if you think about it's different.
<v Speaker 2>He switched the hand out, yeah, because the other one
<v Speaker 2>had the you know, the Triple Threat sign YEP. Folco
<v Speaker 2>Collectibles show us some really cool things. The d X
<v Speaker 2>tank Invasion. This is fun. Wow, all five on there too.
<v Speaker 2>This is really really cool. So it's Triple A's China
<v Speaker 2>Road Dog XPOCT Billy Gun. I mean, who doesn't remember this,
<v Speaker 2>this epic invasion of Nitro. I've been loving this stuff
<v Speaker 2>that like they did the wise guys last week we
<v Speaker 2>talked about. Now we have this. I really like it.
<v Speaker 2>And this one is so obscure that I love it.
<v Speaker 2>Tory Wilson Armageddon poster.
<v Speaker 3>Like what a deep cut holy smoke.
<v Speaker 2>This would be a cool elite like a unique way
<v Speaker 2>to get like a Tory Wilson out there pass but wow,
<v Speaker 2>yeah pass. I don't know. I don't know. I like it.
<v Speaker 2>I like it a lot our buddies A Big Shots
<v Speaker 2>showed up their Legends of the Winged Eagle series one,
<v Speaker 2>so a blind pull seven legends, one blind pull sore
<v Speaker 2>this like a blind Buddy, which I think is really interesting.
<v Speaker 3>WHOA, Okay, I'm like, okay, they're doing a stuffed title
<v Speaker 3>like the ones they have at Ringside. But okay, I
<v Speaker 3>got it.
<v Speaker 2>No, they make I believe they make their own stuff already,
<v Speaker 2>I think. But this is a blind pull.
<v Speaker 3>Held the wing degle.
<v Speaker 2>That's fine, I dig it. Yeah, that's fine, really really fun.
<v Speaker 2>This is the kind of stuff they could do with
<v Speaker 2>their I don't want to see the print on demand model,
<v Speaker 2>but essentially you know they're not They don't need to
<v Speaker 2>make all the stock, right, So I think Big Shots
<v Speaker 2>are the best buddies out there besides the original Tonkas.
<v Speaker 2>For sure.
<v Speaker 3>I have to get updated Matt Cardona soon.
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm already working. I said, I'm sure you
<v Speaker 2>already DM somebody you know I you know. I hit

<v Speaker 2>what's gonna happen. We're gonna press stopping the recording and
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna drop all this stuff. Sure, that's gonna happen
<v Speaker 2>Monday the fifth, we're recording. We'll cover it next week.
<v Speaker 2>I want to thank you guys. King Haku sold out
<v Speaker 2>crazy guys in a day. It's funny because like this
<v Speaker 2>is one where we were kind of like, how's it
<v Speaker 2>gonna do? How's it going to do?
<v Speaker 1>Really, I would have told that this is an automatic sold.
<v Speaker 2>Out in a day.
<v Speaker 3>In a day, it was like you around lunchtime, he
<v Speaker 3>goes to guys, I think it's going to go today.
<v Speaker 3>We're like what yeh?
<v Speaker 2>Which is all?
<v Speaker 3>I mean? That's great, thank you very much. We're thrilled
<v Speaker 3>and obviously, like I guess, looking back on it, this
<v Speaker 3>is like a holy grail. Never was thing right.
<v Speaker 2>This was supposed to come out during the lg En days.
<v Speaker 2>Never did people are I know, it's very confusing because
<v Speaker 2>we got the Islanders in uh, Tornado Brody they will
<v Speaker 2>be shipping, so this came in the same time. So
<v Speaker 2>this is technically the repaint of the Islanders, you know,
<v Speaker 2>just this one.
<v Speaker 3>With obviously crown accessory. There's so I did.
<v Speaker 2>I did read some pushback like why was this the
<v Speaker 2>limited one and the other one was the pre order?
<v Speaker 2>And I think we explained it originally is because you know,
<v Speaker 2>we did the pre order.
<v Speaker 3>I think we have to like let our fans choose
<v Speaker 3>our exclusives.
<v Speaker 2>Well that also, like, come on, we did the pre
<v Speaker 2>order months ago, the pre orders the order, so we
<v Speaker 2>couldn't do like King Haku and Islander to.
<v Speaker 3>Kid five figures purchased at once, which I think was
<v Speaker 3>a huge ask.
<v Speaker 2>Oh you mean if we did them all at the
<v Speaker 2>same time, right. I think some were suggesting why didn't
<v Speaker 2>we do the King Haku as the pre order and
<v Speaker 2>the Islanders Haku was.
<v Speaker 3>The because then I don't know if anyone but E
<v Speaker 3>would have about the Haiti.
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. You have
<v Speaker 2>to buy The Islanders as a tea. So listen, guys,
<v Speaker 2>we appreciate the support, sold out fast. We thank you
<v Speaker 2>so much, and like we said, we ordered the Islanders
<v Speaker 2>Caravan Eric and Brews of Brodie. They should be shipping like.
<v Speaker 3>At the time soon next ten days, guys, you'll be
<v Speaker 3>getting getting hand or notifications whatever it is. But they're
<v Speaker 3>not even on the water in in in the warehouse,
<v Speaker 3>right And then.

<v Speaker 2>like I love seeing all the of that the wrestling
<v Speaker 2>world gave him on social media, even John Cena posted
<v Speaker 2>about him. You know the fact that during my indie

<v Speaker 2>Over all right, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for
<v Speaker 2>the Major Wrestling for Your Podcast Year End Awards for
<v Speaker 2>the year of twenty five. Let's bring a deep freedom.
<v Speaker 2>So he's gonna steer the shifty.
<v Speaker 8>Hello, Hello, d hey guys, here we are again for
<v Speaker 8>twenty twenty five Major Wrestling Figure Podcast Year End Awards Objectively, Yes,
<v Speaker 8>objectively and eight categories objectively. This year we have shortened
<v Speaker 8>a little bit, streamlined it to where it's uh like
<v Speaker 8>we uh. One of the categories was of last year
<v Speaker 8>was like an exclusive figure of the year. Ah, there's
<v Speaker 8>so many good exclusive figures of the year that just
<v Speaker 8>just had.
<v Speaker 2>To well, there's so many things are exclusive, you know,
<v Speaker 2>it's not it's not as exclusive as an exclusive anymore.
<v Speaker 3>Like what what does exclusive mean these days? Sometimes?
<v Speaker 4>You know?
<v Speaker 1>Right, and and usually the figure of the Year isn't exclusive,
<v Speaker 1>so then what is Yeah?
<v Speaker 8>And I think I used to I used to like
<v Speaker 8>list on on these year und awards like what they
<v Speaker 8>were exclusive to. You can pretty much get them anywhere.
<v Speaker 8>But there are some uh uh like uh uh ringsy
<v Speaker 8>collectibles exclusives that are gonna be on here and stuff,
<v Speaker 8>but we'll say we're exclusive to.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So guys, what we did was we each we
<v Speaker 2>each chose our pick, and then we did a poll
<v Speaker 2>in our Facebook group and we let the the Major
<v Speaker 2>Marks add to the poll. Right, So we didn't like,
<v Speaker 2>we didn't make our own nominees with the fans choose
<v Speaker 2>their nominees. So if you want to, you know, vote
<v Speaker 2>every year, is that Major Marks dot Com.
<v Speaker 3>I will say this, man, this was like difficult. There's
<v Speaker 3>where we're We're in a golden era here, man, Like
<v Speaker 3>there's so many companies making so much stuff and good stuff.
<v Speaker 3>It's not like, oh, well, you know, we don't have
<v Speaker 3>like a rush anymore to just kind of laugh at
<v Speaker 3>and point. Like, man, it's been like people are really
<v Speaker 3>like people don't mean serious, like people are really you know,
<v Speaker 3>even Mitch, Like we used to make fun of Mitch
<v Speaker 3>so much and like his stuff is incredible now, So
<v Speaker 3>it's like it's tough to really you know now we're
<v Speaker 3>just looking at like great stuff, so it's really hard
<v Speaker 3>to kind of, you know, narrow it down.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I had an easy time this year except for
<v Speaker 1>Figure of the Year.
<v Speaker 2>I had a very easy time as well. But I
<v Speaker 2>see what Brian saying, because there's a lot to consider.
<v Speaker 3>If you really look at the big picture, you know,
<v Speaker 3>it's tough.
<v Speaker 2>All right.
<v Speaker 8>What's the first category D non wrestling Figure of the Year.
<v Speaker 8>So we're gonna pick our favorite non wrestling figures.
<v Speaker 2>Of the.
<v Speaker 3>I did not participate in this category. Guys, I think
<v Speaker 3>I wrote, huh, okay, okay, just what could I really say?
<v Speaker 2>I don't really all right, I can't.
<v Speaker 1>Wait, I can't wait.
<v Speaker 8>Let's go all right, So I guess I'll go first.
<v Speaker 8>So my pick for favorite non wrestling figure of the
<v Speaker 8>hear was the I mean, this was a controversial figure
<v Speaker 8>because I think what awesome of what it started, It
<v Speaker 8>is awesome. This is the Marvel Legends series Maximum Series
<v Speaker 8>Spider Man, the first skew a part of this new segment.
<v Speaker 8>This is the I think these are retailing for fifty,
<v Speaker 8>but obviously probably on the aftermarket they are going for
<v Speaker 8>probably sixty each. Now Marvel Legends were this is by Hasbro.
<v Speaker 8>By the way, Hasbro produces the Marvel Legends figures, Marvel
<v Speaker 8>Legends usually retail for about twenty five Obviously, pre Pandemic
<v Speaker 8>they were in the twenty dollars price point, but this
<v Speaker 8>does set a new standard. This is basically the ultimate
<v Speaker 8>edition segment.
<v Speaker 2>For as old on a second. Pre pandemic Panic was
<v Speaker 2>six years ago. Guys, let's let's not tell go to
<v Speaker 2>the pandemic. They were nineteen ninety nine.
<v Speaker 1>That was great.
<v Speaker 2>We would talking about using that term. It's so god,
<v Speaker 2>it's over, it's over, it's over. I got fired and
<v Speaker 2>returned to WW it's over six years.
<v Speaker 1>I actually arc that we're closer to twenty thirty than
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty.
<v Speaker 2>Guys. Yeah, come on, it's a great looking figure. It's
<v Speaker 2>a great looking figure. I'm I don't collect this stuff,
<v Speaker 2>but I can. I could see why you chose this,
<v Speaker 2>and I appreciate your choice.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, non wrestling, oh yeah, at these toy shows you'll
<v Speaker 8>probably see him the huh oh yeah, twenty plus accessories
<v Speaker 8>I think twenty accessories exact that comes with a new
<v Speaker 8>stand uh probably potentially influenced by some Jada toy street
<v Speaker 8>fighter figures.
<v Speaker 1>Very cool, different head.
<v Speaker 8>This is the first time that for the Marvel Legend
<v Speaker 8>series they're doing like the Spider the Spider Sense effect.
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, Marvel's not paying us that we can't
<v Speaker 2>click him this much.
<v Speaker 1>He's explaining, you start.
<v Speaker 8>Thirty plus points of articulation, like we'll see on a
<v Speaker 8>lot of these ends.
<v Speaker 2>So what what versions? So I'm excuse me, ignorance, Like,
<v Speaker 2>what version of Peter Parker is this?
<v Speaker 8>In terms of comic book artists, this is influenced by
<v Speaker 8>Todd McFarland's work done in the late nineties. Oh really,
<v Speaker 8>this is are a lot of collectors, especially the figure
<v Speaker 8>that kind of started at all for the six inch
<v Speaker 8>form factor in terms of popularizing it was that was
<v Speaker 8>that Spider Man Classics from two thousand and one by
<v Speaker 8>toy Biz, and that was a McFarlane Spider Man. So
<v Speaker 8>for some people this is their definitive Marvel Legend Spider Man.
<v Speaker 8>I have that grated Oh the Marvel Legend Series one
<v Speaker 8>a right, Spider Man Classic Series one?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah? Well all right, who's pick is next?
<v Speaker 1>We got marks pick. I think I cheated kinda on
<v Speaker 1>this one, but let's see it. Yes, I mean it's so,
<v Speaker 1>but it's technically not a figure, but we don't have
<v Speaker 1>play sets, and I think I think it works. I
<v Speaker 1>talked about this last week. It's the Ghostbusters Plasma series
<v Speaker 1>ECDO one. They call it the Ecdomobile de Luxe Edition.
<v Speaker 1>The figures are are unreal. I think it might be
<v Speaker 1>the greatest toy I ever opened, at least close up
<v Speaker 1>there with like maybe the razorcrest or whatever it was. Z.
<v Speaker 2>You guys haven't mentioned that in the years four hundred bucks.
<v Speaker 2>This was I'm excited to open mine and put in
<v Speaker 2>the toy room. So we're just counting the ECDO one
<v Speaker 2>as the toy.
<v Speaker 1>You can't count all the toys, right, yeah, no, no, no,
<v Speaker 1>I was counting the ECTO one.
<v Speaker 2>I think it's fantastic. I'm very nervous with those stickers on.
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you that rock with Dan can I pay
<v Speaker 2>you to do? You?
<v Speaker 1>But he might be terrible at it. I know shaky hands.
<v Speaker 2>I was really good. I'm not a good sticker. Put
<v Speaker 2>her on her sticker, put her on her knocking with
<v Speaker 2>there and you rehired.
<v Speaker 1>Pal. You know who's great is Brian Myers? Actually Brian
<v Speaker 1>my great at stickers, But you want him to put
<v Speaker 1>on a Ghostbusters one, you'd be putting it on upside down.
<v Speaker 2>It's incredible. Like I said, I cannot wait to build mine.
<v Speaker 1>What did you pick, Matt?
<v Speaker 2>So mine was also Ghostbusters related? I chose the Mondo toys. Uh,
<v Speaker 2>Peter Venkman. Wow, they also released the Peter solo, so
<v Speaker 2>I chose like the I have the two pack right, so,
<v Speaker 2>but it was also released solo. That's why I was
<v Speaker 2>able to count just the Peter Vankman. Not that the
<v Speaker 2>Sam Hayne is not a good figure, but my choice
<v Speaker 2>was the Peter. Like this is straight out of the cartoon.
<v Speaker 2>It was like holding a cartoon character in my hand
<v Speaker 2>and listen. I love Necka. I love what Necka is
<v Speaker 2>done with the turtles, but they're very hard to pose,
<v Speaker 2>very hard to move this this like ray, I'm sorry.
<v Speaker 2>This Peter was like moving like like air. That's how
<v Speaker 2>smooth the joints were. I don't even think I'm conveying
<v Speaker 2>it properly. But my only nitpick about this, and I
<v Speaker 2>said when I reviewed on the show, is that the wire,
<v Speaker 2>if you will, the chord for the trap is almost
<v Speaker 2>like a paper clip, and I feel like it could
<v Speaker 2>snap very easily. I don't like that scar. Yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>wish it was like an actual like cord or something
<v Speaker 2>like that. But the actual figure in the detail is
<v Speaker 2>just incredible. I love this. And these are very very pricey.
<v Speaker 2>These are things that I passed up on. I'm like,
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna wait because they were doing one Ghostbuster at
<v Speaker 2>a time. I'll wait till all four. The price on
<v Speaker 2>the secondary market legit doubled this two pack. I spent
<v Speaker 2>over five hundred dollars on Holy fuck whoa yep.
<v Speaker 1>And the time.
<v Speaker 8>This was a timed edition too, so this was exclusive
<v Speaker 8>to Mondo Shop at least the the Collector's pack and yeah,
<v Speaker 8>so that was only available for a limited time where
<v Speaker 8>and these are one twelve scale so these are technically
<v Speaker 8>six inches so in case people wanted to know what
<v Speaker 8>scale these were the a Mondo usually does one six scale,
<v Speaker 8>but these for that they're delving into more one twelth
<v Speaker 8>scale product.
<v Speaker 2>And what are the fans choose?
<v Speaker 8>The fans selected ned Flanders from Jack specifics. What Simpson's
<v Speaker 8>five inch line. This is a part of Wave six.
<v Speaker 2>I was not expecting that skiing Flanders.
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of simps on there. We don't talk
<v Speaker 1>about them. None, let's collect them.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like, oh, I collect these. I think Dylan
<v Speaker 3>does you know? I mean I know it's a thing, but.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, they're they're great. I've been thinking about it.
<v Speaker 1>I just have no room for it.
<v Speaker 8>Well, the five inch assortment, yeah, it's it's a little
<v Speaker 8>difficult to collect that. But the world building of The Simpsons,
<v Speaker 8>if you want to build the world of Springfield, they
<v Speaker 8>have a two and a half inch segment that has
<v Speaker 8>the Christy Berger di rama and the living Room di rama,
<v Speaker 8>and they're also doing vehicles as well. They just now
<v Speaker 8>came out with a lot of the product is largely
<v Speaker 8>found at Target. I haven't found any at my Walmart stores.
<v Speaker 8>The two and a half inch segment is available I
<v Speaker 8>think at some chains like five below and such.
<v Speaker 2>So I've seen these. I don't collect them. I think
<v Speaker 2>they're really really fun. I don't watch the Simpsons. I'm
<v Speaker 2>as a kid. I really enjoyed The Simpsons, I really
<v Speaker 2>and I love the write of Universe. I don't watch
<v Speaker 2>it currently. I think the figures are really really cool.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Jackson's great stuff with the Nintendo stuff and Flanders.
<v Speaker 3>Holy smoke.
<v Speaker 1>This hits me because I watch it as a kid insanely.
<v Speaker 1>But I've also been watching it with my daughter. It's
<v Speaker 1>kind of like one of the things that we do
<v Speaker 1>together is watch old episodes of The Simpsons that she loves.
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, I don't know, And this is like a
<v Speaker 8>moment from like one of the earlier episodes. So like,
<v Speaker 8>I don't think they're gonna be I mean, we'll see
<v Speaker 8>like what newer moments I guess they recreate. I think
<v Speaker 8>they did like the Mother Nature Krusty or whatever as well,
<v Speaker 8>So we'll see what future stuff they got in the line.
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, Major Marks are very fond of the of
<v Speaker 8>the Simpsons and Jaxta's great stuff and will continue to
<v Speaker 8>do great stuff with the Simpsons.
<v Speaker 2>Love it. What's the next category?
<v Speaker 8>Next category is least favorite figure of the year. My
<v Speaker 8>least favorite figure of the year is h I mean
<v Speaker 8>a lot of people, it's very easy to go after
<v Speaker 8>the independent companies, but I specifically think, like, in terms
<v Speaker 8>of last year, I selected, I think the TCG Toys,
<v Speaker 8>Flexfigs Undertaker. So I think like when I think of
<v Speaker 8>least favorite, I think of like, how did this exactly happen?
<v Speaker 7>Uh?
<v Speaker 1>So my figure is a Licensibity product.
<v Speaker 8>The Funko Pop Stacey Keebler out of package. In package, okay,
<v Speaker 8>looks great, signed A lot of collectors do it.
<v Speaker 1>But out of package? Uh and same when I think.
<v Speaker 8>The reveal graphic was officially published by funk Go across
<v Speaker 8>their social media channels, people, who's the one in the
<v Speaker 8>black gear? Who's the one in the black gear? H
<v Speaker 8>it is an obscure attire for Stacey Keebler. I mean
<v Speaker 8>she she wrestled her like.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I see it. I totally see what you're saying.
<v Speaker 2>But it's right. What else would she do?
<v Speaker 8>There was more, there was more colors that she'd wore
<v Speaker 8>more in the mid two thousands. I don't know if
<v Speaker 8>this was due to budget why they selected this, or
<v Speaker 8>this was the specific reference that they were submitted to them.
<v Speaker 8>Uh so yeah, it's just one of those figures to
<v Speaker 8>where yeah, it's it's not a bad figure, it's just
<v Speaker 8>in terms of the design, it could have been better,
<v Speaker 8>a better prime.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, they could have. They could have chose
<v Speaker 2>a different outfit.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, just out of package. If you're a W fan,
<v Speaker 8>even a W a hardcore W fan would still take no.
<v Speaker 1>I agree, yeah, this so this is going to be
<v Speaker 1>it might sound super lame, but for the second year
<v Speaker 1>in a row, I just abstained from this. I just
<v Speaker 1>think it's kind of like a I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>What, we shouldn't even have this category. Then I don't
<v Speaker 2>like I.
<v Speaker 1>Mean, look, sometimes it's pretty clear, and sometimes it it's
<v Speaker 1>fun to joke about something. I like the Edge figure
<v Speaker 1>that year that is that it looked like somebody that
<v Speaker 1>he had a tattoo of a shirt or something like that.
<v Speaker 2>Let's go, let's go to my Let's go to my
<v Speaker 2>pick then huh, Bryan's next, right.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and not the echo of Mark saying. But I
<v Speaker 3>had a hard time because, like I said, people are
<v Speaker 3>making such nice stuff and if it's really like lousy,
<v Speaker 3>like I don't even really like see it see it.
<v Speaker 3>So I can't like to you know, bury it, bury
<v Speaker 3>it like like I'm sure and I've never not the
<v Speaker 3>single them out, but I have never like had a
<v Speaker 3>Lutuni product in my hand or whatever. So I can't
<v Speaker 3>like just say this is the one and it's right
<v Speaker 3>and like it, you know. So I don't know that said.
<v Speaker 3>I saw pictures of this this week and I was skeptical,
<v Speaker 3>and then I saw it in person. The j and
<v Speaker 3>j figure. Guys where at ken con kwk bull Nakano, Wow,
<v Speaker 3>buzz your girlfriend Wolf. Really I think this one this
<v Speaker 3>is a very odd feedback that I'm about saying. I
<v Speaker 3>think this is like a victim of too many deco
<v Speaker 3>hits that it just looks like deco throw up on
<v Speaker 3>her face and shirt and stuff, and it's just not great.
<v Speaker 2>So I actually own this. I didn't think it was
<v Speaker 2>that bad. I actually enjoyed it.
<v Speaker 3>But like I said, I saw this in person, so
<v Speaker 3>I don't feel like a hypocrite or a jerk off
<v Speaker 3>saying that I didn't like it.
<v Speaker 2>So my worst figure of the year, it actually was attuney.
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not saying the quality of the figure in
<v Speaker 2>hand is bad, it's just the concept. I just don't
<v Speaker 2>like illegal or fantasy, complete fantasy. Can you put it
<v Speaker 2>on the screen? This is the ultra.
<v Speaker 3>I could have picked this without even ever owning it
<v Speaker 3>or but it's just like out like people how this.
<v Speaker 2>Yes like this? Like to me? It just everything about
<v Speaker 2>it just looks like it's like this bootleg that you
<v Speaker 2>would see like at a dollar store, you know. And
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying the actual quality of it in hand
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be good, but it's macho for those listening, it's
<v Speaker 2>Macho man as like Syclops from X Men. The Macho
<v Speaker 2>Man is licensed apparently, but obviously Sydeclops is not. And
<v Speaker 2>this is just complete fantasy. And the package looks like
<v Speaker 2>a complete like a kid's coloring book. Ors. Yeah, uh,
<v Speaker 2>and listen, there might be people out there who love it,
<v Speaker 2>and that's fine. This is just my opinion, right.
<v Speaker 1>Exactly. I would never buy this.
<v Speaker 2>However, I would never buy this.
<v Speaker 1>However, I'm sitting here looking at a macho Man ninja
<v Speaker 1>turtle thing.
<v Speaker 2>You know. It's like that.
<v Speaker 1>It was like right up my wheelhouse. So I'm not
<v Speaker 1>gonna knock the idea. And I'm certain I certainly don't
<v Speaker 1>want to push against you know. That's why I wouldn't
<v Speaker 1>want to vote for the third figure worst figure of
<v Speaker 1>the year.
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't know what did the fans pick.
<v Speaker 3>I'm curious, Well do you are?
<v Speaker 2>You?
<v Speaker 3>You went sorry the fans?
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, the fans selected the.
<v Speaker 1>This is not bad.
<v Speaker 3>I haven't so this is exactly what we're talking about.
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying this is like an incredible figure by
<v Speaker 3>any means, but I have this in my hand and
<v Speaker 3>it looks way better than that photo.
<v Speaker 2>Again right now. But guys, the pants are like as
<v Speaker 2>like splatter and the brutes have splatter. It's a complete fantasy.
<v Speaker 2>And also Heath Okay, here's the here's my issue with it.
<v Speaker 2>Heath like just Heath never ward I Got Kids shirt.
<v Speaker 8>And and WLD Wrestling Entertainment, because that's a world wrestling entertainment.
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying. It's like this complete mashup Heath
<v Speaker 2>that the independent wrestler never wren I got Kids. What
<v Speaker 2>are you saying got Heath Slater wore an I Got
<v Speaker 2>Kids shirt. And even if you're saying this is he's Slater,
<v Speaker 2>he didn't wear that gear. But what is this is
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying.
<v Speaker 8>It also has like twenty ten Heath Slayer tattoos, the
<v Speaker 8>illustration aka synthetic media that was a place across the
<v Speaker 8>card back the.
<v Speaker 2>Tattoos has the updated stuff.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah I can see, I guess.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The head looks way too tidy for that body,
<v Speaker 2>the head and all and that mean bad.
<v Speaker 3>I don't eve think this is the real figure. This
<v Speaker 3>is a production shot because it doesn't look like that
<v Speaker 3>in person.
<v Speaker 8>The reference material that was so he Slater did do
<v Speaker 8>still photos of him in that?
<v Speaker 1>I mean it?
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, the reference that was used to generate the same
<v Speaker 8>media on the carpet.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, synthetic media. That's a new term.
<v Speaker 8>That's the new euphemism that's going around.
<v Speaker 2>Because enough enough negativity, let's go to the next And
<v Speaker 2>that's why the category may be a limited next year.
<v Speaker 3>I back to what Mark said, like when there is
<v Speaker 3>a glaring like you know, like that Ember Moon figure
<v Speaker 3>that one year, like you said, that edge which had
<v Speaker 3>a shirt that looked like not a shirt. Sometimes fun
<v Speaker 3>to be like how did this happen?
<v Speaker 8>But anyway, all right, being positive, going to major figure
<v Speaker 8>of the year, I selected one for a good cause,
<v Speaker 8>wrestling Chris. The prophets went straight into Chris Bay's pocket,
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, what a.
<v Speaker 2>What an honor to do that for Chris Bay. He's
<v Speaker 2>just an awesome guy. And what a transitionable figure.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what a transition to because you said a positive
<v Speaker 3>thing and he is like maybe the most positive person
<v Speaker 3>I've ever met, So what a cool thing to do
<v Speaker 3>for him. Awesome that it was officially licensed by TNA
<v Speaker 3>and they okayed all that and stuff, so it's cool
<v Speaker 3>to see him at wrestle cade this year, you know,
<v Speaker 3>selling these to the fans and stuff. So I love Chris,
<v Speaker 3>We're rooting for him. What an inspirational guy. And he
<v Speaker 3>was very very moved that we made this figure for him,
<v Speaker 3>so and and that that said, it is a very
<v Speaker 3>nice figure with all his tats and a lot of
<v Speaker 3>deco hits and zebra print whatever you call it.
<v Speaker 1>And Mark, yeah, I picked the Hardy Boys, not a.
<v Speaker 2>Two play cards, right, I'll let you get those signed
<v Speaker 2>in Orlando.
<v Speaker 1>I am trying to decide. I'm trying to decide. I
<v Speaker 1>think I'm definitely bringing my the golf cart pack. But
<v Speaker 1>I love a retro style, you know whatever, old school
<v Speaker 1>style figure that should have been in the line.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Cool.
<v Speaker 1>And and you know there you kind of already did
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the Bendy's that were should have been
<v Speaker 1>in the line. But this, this definitely is one of them,
<v Speaker 1>and it's great. And I remember the Hardy Boys at
<v Speaker 1>the time, I thought they were awesome.
<v Speaker 2>So this is one that didn't get enough love from
<v Speaker 2>the fans. I think that's still available on collect Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>It was like a slow moving product. I think it
<v Speaker 3>was just too deep down the instant I thought I'll
<v Speaker 3>do yeah, yeah, but love it and I know they
<v Speaker 3>love it, so there's like a personal attachment to this
<v Speaker 3>where I know, like they've never had figures in this
<v Speaker 3>era of their career, so I thought that was a
<v Speaker 3>really cool thing.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yep.
<v Speaker 2>So I had a hard time with this one too.
<v Speaker 3>You know, obviously if we've were really rocking and rolling
<v Speaker 3>a collect Major and we got a lot of fun stuff,
<v Speaker 3>especially this year, I had runner ups in my mind.
<v Speaker 3>I love the brand new hackso Jim Dugg and Major Stars,
<v Speaker 3>it's so like just fun. Saw him the Ken Con
<v Speaker 3>and we were talking about it. He loves it too,
<v Speaker 3>so like there's you know, a lot to that. I
<v Speaker 3>love the brand new Smash Big rubber Guy. Uh And
<v Speaker 3>in Demolition as a whole, I thought was a tremendous
<v Speaker 3>effort by the whole Major team. But Smashed particularly is
<v Speaker 3>really really great. But I had to pick one, and
<v Speaker 3>I went with Rick the Model Martel. Wow, people are
<v Speaker 3>gonna hey this rubber guy. It was very cool.
<v Speaker 1>I cant believe that people on this.
<v Speaker 3>But again again we've said this throughout this whole segment.
<v Speaker 3>If you have this figure in your hand or on
<v Speaker 3>your shelf, you do not think it's a bad figure.
<v Speaker 3>You think it's insanely awesome figure. The arrogance, the sweater,
<v Speaker 3>the fact that he could have fit right into that,
<v Speaker 3>you know, the line seamlessly is if it were nineteen
<v Speaker 3>eighty nine or ninety. I think it's just a lot
<v Speaker 3>of fun. And also like Rick Martel hasn't had a
<v Speaker 3>product in years and years and years, and we you know,
<v Speaker 3>we're the first to like get him out, you know,
<v Speaker 3>and now he's freaking coming to big event in March
<v Speaker 3>and stuff. Peoplere gonna be getting these sign and it's
<v Speaker 3>going to be like a whole thing, so really really cool.
<v Speaker 2>Like Brian said, there was hard to choose. I almost
<v Speaker 2>went with the Major Star because, believe it or not,
<v Speaker 2>the Major Star are my favorite item that we do
<v Speaker 2>right now currently, Wow, the Demolition, the New Demolition or
<v Speaker 2>without a doubt, the best. But I was trying to
<v Speaker 2>get I didn't want to single out Acts or Smack.
<v Speaker 2>I guess I could have done all three since marked
<v Speaker 2>the two Hardy Bendy's, but I went with my favorite
<v Speaker 2>now Macho King Randy Savage. Yeah, super toy. Like I
<v Speaker 2>closed my eyes and I think of Macho King, this
<v Speaker 2>is the out what I think of, uh, you know,
<v Speaker 2>when I became the Death Match King, my first Death
<v Speaker 2>Match King gear was a ripoff of this, right kind of,
<v Speaker 2>so I have like some sentimental attachment to it. It's
<v Speaker 2>got the crown, it's got the scepter. You know, he's
<v Speaker 2>also you know, could be dropping the elbow. Just I
<v Speaker 2>just love this figure. The Dream Team we have a
<v Speaker 2>click major with with myself, Brian Connect the Freedom TTD
<v Speaker 2>Brian Batty. I think we absolutely nailed this, and honestly
<v Speaker 2>like the backstory that went into this. You know, like
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to speak negatively about something so positive,
<v Speaker 2>but like this was supposed to be an exclusive to
<v Speaker 2>somebody else. They kind of screwed us over, and we
<v Speaker 2>like we said no, the fans aren't gonna get screwed over.
<v Speaker 2>We ate the cost of this to send it to
<v Speaker 2>all those fans who had ordered through the other retailer.
<v Speaker 2>We put them the rest on our website. I just
<v Speaker 2>I just love this figure and it's it's so good.
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't know if we're gonna do another Listen,
<v Speaker 2>I'll be honest, we've been trying to figure out a
<v Speaker 2>good figure out.
<v Speaker 3>It's like a one and done mold situation too.
<v Speaker 2>This might be a one and done mold situation because
<v Speaker 2>if you actually hold this figure in his hand, like
<v Speaker 2>there's some raised moldings on his leg, it's not just
<v Speaker 2>all paint, you know. And I just I love the tan,
<v Speaker 2>I love the crown, I love the scepter, and it's
<v Speaker 2>just the fact that we have a Macho King Randy
<v Speaker 2>Savage figure official collect Major I love and and the
<v Speaker 2>box are that. TTD just nails these these box arts,
<v Speaker 2>you know, the inserts.
<v Speaker 1>It's just one.
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately you'll never be able to get signed, but I
<v Speaker 2>love it right.
<v Speaker 8>And the Major Marks were in agreement with with mister.
<v Speaker 3>Woh ow nice congrats to the Macho King. Yeah yeah,
<v Speaker 3>Like wasn't even going to be our figure. So I'm
<v Speaker 3>kind of thrilled that in a way, it was almost
<v Speaker 3>like a blessing in disguise. A little bit of what happened.
<v Speaker 3>Is this still on our side?
<v Speaker 2>Is this sold out? Not quite sure, I'll look.
<v Speaker 1>But that's what's the next thing.
<v Speaker 8>Next category is Packaging of the Year. My selection was
<v Speaker 8>something that probably no one is probably thinking about because
<v Speaker 8>it kind of came and went, but it did sell out.
<v Speaker 8>It did sell out packaging of the year Ultimate edition
<v Speaker 8>John Steena Outer Shipper. Nice pack out with these championships
<v Speaker 8>as if it's in like a banner form. First John
<v Speaker 8>Cena packed out with him running. So the the window
<v Speaker 8>box is it's in that hour glass shape similar to
<v Speaker 8>the from the Vault and also the original twenty ten figures.
<v Speaker 8>But that outer outer Shipper has all these highlights, the
<v Speaker 8>story it tells of his career and that it's been
<v Speaker 8>twenty twenty five I was Johnson his last year as
<v Speaker 8>an in ring performer. And also the back panel of
<v Speaker 8>the packaging has that cutout window that was classic signature
<v Speaker 8>to the twenty ten MATTELW packaging has a career stats
<v Speaker 8>that's something that you don't really see too much anymore
<v Speaker 8>on MATILV packaging. I don't think they list out the
<v Speaker 8>statistics like I think even like they had like that
<v Speaker 8>little box, like that little brief description about like their
<v Speaker 8>career uh period during that time. And then the cross
<v Speaker 8>cell as well also features actual physical samples. You don't
<v Speaker 8>really see that too manymore. They just go with the
<v Speaker 8>standard character art with the with the studio shots across
<v Speaker 8>the cross cell. So and it's a nice way that
<v Speaker 8>they did that with the previous Joson releases there and.
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't even this, dem I wasn't even thinking about.
<v Speaker 8>This, and they still implemented that foil at the top
<v Speaker 8>for that Ultimate edition because that's what it's known for,
<v Speaker 8>is that premium, and it looks premium, and it feels premium.
<v Speaker 2>Does look premium, and I love the shout out to
<v Speaker 2>the original elite packaging. Yeah, you're right, d this is
<v Speaker 2>a great one with all the titles underneath. And I
<v Speaker 2>do love the product and back as opposed to well,
<v Speaker 2>they don't even show products on the back anymore.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, they don't show physical paint models really that much.
<v Speaker 8>You'll really only see it on build of figures, So right, wow,
<v Speaker 8>and mark your pick.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So I love a good clear packaging obviously. And this
<v Speaker 1>is the jazz Whear's golf cart thing that I just mentioned.
<v Speaker 2>Crazy fun.
<v Speaker 1>I said that I want to try to get this
<v Speaker 1>signed by everybody, and I'm still trying. Sammy is easy.
<v Speaker 1>I see him all the time. That's not a question.
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get Matt at the show coming up. How
<v Speaker 1>Mark Sterling gets Kenny Omega twenty twenty six, I have
<v Speaker 1>no idea, but that's the adventure. I'm very excited for this.
<v Speaker 1>I think that it, like epitomizes a moment in time
<v Speaker 1>in pro wrestling, so.
<v Speaker 3>So fun and we should at least acknowledge because I
<v Speaker 3>have opened this. It is packaging like that golf carts,
<v Speaker 3>not a toy, right for those that don't know like that.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's hardboard than.
<v Speaker 3>Display, not meant to be capped, and honestly, there's like
<v Speaker 3>no way to even preserve it once you start opening it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you can for fun.
<v Speaker 8>You can't remove the you can't put the steering wall back.
<v Speaker 8>I think that's just part of the pack out right.
<v Speaker 8>And it also has that displayer box the platform. This
<v Speaker 8>is limited to three thousand pieces, by the way, exclusive
<v Speaker 8>a Jetsuar's vault.
<v Speaker 1>Talk about unique yes, you know, different structure.
<v Speaker 8>I don't know if this is going to be a
<v Speaker 8>segment that they continue going forward throughout the twenty twenty
<v Speaker 8>five year, or if they're just gonna have one skew
<v Speaker 8>for this year, or if this is just a one
<v Speaker 8>and doone situation. But a nice, nice moment to be
<v Speaker 8>recreated here from from we were talking about the pandemic
<v Speaker 8>from the pandemic that got a lot of people out
<v Speaker 8>of their seats while sitting at home.
<v Speaker 1>So and Brian your pick.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I'm gonna go with Mitch's Godwin to pack.
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm kidding. This is another one.
<v Speaker 3>Like I was thinking, Man, I loved a lot of
<v Speaker 3>stuff that's going on these here. I love ring Side
<v Speaker 3>defining moments packaging. You know when those come in like that,
<v Speaker 3>it's again another shout out to what old, but it's new.
<v Speaker 3>I love that they actually depict the real moment. I
<v Speaker 3>love Target's legends forever. Reason that that packaging's sturdy and
<v Speaker 3>made of great cardboard and plastic, unlike the regular elites.
<v Speaker 3>For some reason, I don't understand that. I didn't think
<v Speaker 3>how much i'd love it until I saw it, and
<v Speaker 3>I felt like a kid again seeing LJN's in the
<v Speaker 3>store in that package, in that giant box and it's
<v Speaker 3>so well done.
<v Speaker 2>That was a lot of fun.
<v Speaker 3>But ultimately for the uniqueness and my biasedness because I
<v Speaker 3>love me some hardy boys, the Ringside Jazz Wears glowing
<v Speaker 3>a real working black light. Jeff Hardy as my pick,
<v Speaker 3>just for the like crazy uniqueness of this, Just something
<v Speaker 3>I would have never expected.
<v Speaker 1>To come out or happen, so you got him to
<v Speaker 1>sign that yet I.
<v Speaker 3>Have not actually and then another thing in my research
<v Speaker 3>for all this, this thing is like long gone and
<v Speaker 3>sold out too, so it was a big hit.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it is.
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think this is like the only like singles
<v Speaker 8>attire Jeff like, because like all the other ones are
<v Speaker 8>kind of paired with Matt, so this is like one
<v Speaker 8>that you don't have to pair with a previously released Matt. Right,
<v Speaker 8>and a fifth panel window box packaging has the velcrow
<v Speaker 8>fastening across the front or hook and loop.
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was that's that you can't even see,
<v Speaker 3>but there's a black ladder in there, like there's so
<v Speaker 3>much even more add value though.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know that, right, It's crazy.
<v Speaker 8>And it's one of the I think few unmatched collection
<v Speaker 8>of ringsy Collector was exclusive. A lot of them are
<v Speaker 8>exclusive to the Unrivaled segment, but this is part of
<v Speaker 8>the unmatched in terms of the branding. Even has the
<v Speaker 8>battery compartment on the side panel, and so yeah, there's
<v Speaker 8>a lot of spots where Jeff can sign it. He
<v Speaker 8>can sign it on the front flap or the inside
<v Speaker 8>the flap or even on the window. A lot of
<v Speaker 8>collectors will obviously want.
<v Speaker 1>It over the figure that window. Yeah, a lot of options.
<v Speaker 2>All right, my pick this is it. Here's my pick
<v Speaker 2>right here. Favorite packaging at twenty twenty five is the
<v Speaker 2>Elite Collection American Nightmare Cody Roads and Farrell. I just
<v Speaker 2>thought this was so fun. Uh. You know, this was
<v Speaker 2>the T shirt the previous year at Mania, and the
<v Speaker 2>packaging is so good that it fooled me that there's
<v Speaker 2>no actual rock accessory.
<v Speaker 3>It's just part of the packaging. It's awesome.
<v Speaker 2>So the fact you know that we get the Pharaoh
<v Speaker 2>of the Dog and the Cody.
<v Speaker 3>The Dog is interchangeable heads by the way, was mind
<v Speaker 3>blowing me.
<v Speaker 2>I just love that it looks just like the shirt
<v Speaker 2>that he wore, you know throughout that that that that
<v Speaker 2>run to finish the story. And like I said, like
<v Speaker 2>it even fooled me where I opened up like, wait,
<v Speaker 2>there's no rocket here, so for that reason, and then there's.
<v Speaker 8>No physical like like plastic rocket is right, it's.
<v Speaker 2>As right right right. And then also if you look
<v Speaker 2>at the sides in the back, there's great artwork of
<v Speaker 2>Cody and Pharaoh. I don't know if we have images
<v Speaker 2>of that, but if you were to do like a
<v Speaker 2>three sixty. There's also there's great cartoon work, you know,
<v Speaker 2>if you really wanted to look at the sides in
<v Speaker 2>the back, but even from the front. I think this
<v Speaker 2>is one that you keep. I'm gonna let him breathe
<v Speaker 2>the guy, but I think there's something you keep men
<v Speaker 2>on card because you know you cannot recreate that. You
<v Speaker 2>know it has to be because there's no actual rock,
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, because the packaging makes it.
<v Speaker 2>So that was my pick was the finish the story
<v Speaker 2>Cody and Pharaoh.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how many kids open that on Christmas?
<v Speaker 2>I know, Chase.
<v Speaker 8>This this might be sold out because of the Pharaoh.
<v Speaker 8>Pharaoh is a big deal and uh, I guess the
<v Speaker 8>wrestling dog community.
<v Speaker 3>So he's the only way, the only way to get Pharaoh, right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the only way to get Pharaoh.
<v Speaker 8>And I uh, we'll see if they got Larry coming
<v Speaker 8>out with an ultimate edition seem Punk, so we'll see
<v Speaker 8>how articulated Larry is this This Pharaoh's got, like, I
<v Speaker 8>think about more more articulation than the Minecraft dog does.
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, everything that you want in an articulate dog,
<v Speaker 8>articulated canine, you got here. And Cody also comes to
<v Speaker 8>the Soft Goods for the first time ever. Soft Goods
<v Speaker 8>a flag excess.
<v Speaker 2>For me as a kid, like you wouldn't have like
<v Speaker 2>you know, para coma like that, and then the switch
<v Speaker 2>to the head and he starts biting somebody. Come on.
<v Speaker 3>Unlimited storyline potentially.
<v Speaker 8>Also comes with the leash too. Also comes with the
<v Speaker 8>leash so that Cody can.
<v Speaker 1>But but some people will just leave this in the
<v Speaker 1>box and never even know that it comes from.
<v Speaker 2>But because of some probably.
<v Speaker 1>And the major marks selected.
<v Speaker 8>Wow, Brian's pick Unmatched collection Ring Cyclicals Exclusive Jeff Hardy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like I said, just so unique and unexpected, right, Yeah.
<v Speaker 8>Lined with that UVA light across has the on and
<v Speaker 8>off switch and also has fluorescent paint across Jeff to
<v Speaker 8>activate that black life feature sweptble portrait. Outside of just
<v Speaker 8>the packaging alone, just the contents, the tire choice, the yeah,
<v Speaker 8>just the artwork all along is uh it's very similar
<v Speaker 8>to uh, like kind of like what Jack's was doing.
<v Speaker 8>Jack's had some good Rings Cyclicals Exclusive featuring Jeff Hardy,
<v Speaker 8>so very similar that, I mean, you can't not have
<v Speaker 8>there's no non toyetic figure of Jeff. It's really hard
<v Speaker 8>to do that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, tough, all right.
<v Speaker 8>So next category of the year, hang on, hang on,
<v Speaker 8>I don't have it ready. Next category of the year
<v Speaker 8>is a retro figure of the year.
<v Speaker 1>Retro.
<v Speaker 8>A lot of people in the wrestling figure community just
<v Speaker 8>like the label it the four and a half inches
<v Speaker 8>has Bro w Faction figure inspired figures. But there's more
<v Speaker 8>than that.
<v Speaker 1>There's w Superstars, a shot shot.
<v Speaker 3>Fact, there is a shout out to older.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that's what the term retro means in the toy industry.
<v Speaker 8>The toy industry, the retro form factor is something that
<v Speaker 8>is something.
<v Speaker 2>That was because all the retros Hasbro's retros, the.
<v Speaker 8>New Wrestling Heroes, the New Wrestling Heroes figures by Prossing T's,
<v Speaker 8>those are a retro form factor. So mine, probably not
<v Speaker 8>a lot of people's lists, is the Great MODA Great
<v Speaker 8>Muda has I think this is the last chase for
<v Speaker 8>twenty twenty five. No no chases going forward for the
<v Speaker 8>w super Star segment UH and future segments maybe in
<v Speaker 8>selects executions. But the Great Muda has Swapple heads for
<v Speaker 8>both the core release and the chase release and also
<v Speaker 8>interchangeable missed accessories as well as I think the first
<v Speaker 8>time included with somebody Superstars figure or I don't know
<v Speaker 8>if they've if any w Superstars figure has included a
<v Speaker 8>weapon re like accessory and such, but yeah, alternate hands.
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, he's it was this guy or the Caatashack,
<v Speaker 8>cause technically the Cactas Shack was even though some collectors
<v Speaker 8>did get it, uh in twenty twenty four, it technically wasn't.
<v Speaker 2>Day by our rules. That's for sorry, pal, So I
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't we go by the rule the year it came out.
<v Speaker 1>I go by the automn number.
<v Speaker 2>And that's what a lot of yuh, well, god, it's
<v Speaker 2>our show, pal, Oh my god, who cares? All right,
<v Speaker 2>but this is incredible. The fact if you're a Great
<v Speaker 2>Mooda guy, you potentially make four great.
<v Speaker 3>Mon that's so like overwhelming but cool, also very cool.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, probably his second or third skew of the year.
<v Speaker 8>And yeah, so twenty twenty five was a good year
<v Speaker 8>for the Great Mooda. All right, Mark, you're retrofigure the year?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I picked the Lgan Hogan. We talk about this
<v Speaker 1>a lot on the podcast Just Iconic. This came out
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties, it came out again now and it's
<v Speaker 1>and it's a best seller forty years later or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if I'm doing my math right there,
<v Speaker 1>but uh yeah, it's awesome. We've been talking about this
<v Speaker 1>a lot lately, so we don't need to spend some
<v Speaker 1>time on it. But that's what I chose.
<v Speaker 2>Uh my pick another one.
<v Speaker 3>Just man, a lot of great stuff this year, people
<v Speaker 3>in this space doing a lot of amazing things. I
<v Speaker 3>love the Dusty Rhodes ljn Epic figure. I loved the
<v Speaker 3>Hardy Boys bone Crushers, but ultimately I had to give
<v Speaker 3>this one to what I'm gonna call Hakushi from Heels
<v Speaker 3>and Faces Wow, Zombie Sailor Toys. I just this is
<v Speaker 3>something I was thinking. Man, if this came out in
<v Speaker 3>nineteen ninety five, I would have been tickled to death.
<v Speaker 3>That always take on my Brett Hart Hasbro figure, you
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean. Like, so that's why you know
<v Speaker 3>there really is no Akushi figure at all. You know,
<v Speaker 3>Shinzaki has stuff, but not not like this. So it
<v Speaker 3>was just too fun for me to pass up. It's
<v Speaker 3>my number one of the year.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I really wanted to pick a Hasbro esque figure,
<v Speaker 2>but the fact that l Jane is back it got
<v Speaker 2>my nostalgia really kicking, and Mark had a great pick
<v Speaker 2>with the Hogan, but I went with the John Cena.
<v Speaker 2>The John Cena l JN. I mean just the fact that, like,
<v Speaker 2>you know, it looks like an l JN, it feels
<v Speaker 2>like an LJN. The package, like just the mass hysteria.
<v Speaker 2>And it's not just adults. We saw that video last
<v Speaker 2>week that kid freaking out over again l j and
<v Speaker 2>John Cena. So I love this. I love that it's
<v Speaker 2>a continuation. And just like Mark said, we're not going
<v Speaker 2>to spend the time, you know, the past six weeks
<v Speaker 2>talking about these figures. So if you really want to
<v Speaker 2>hear more, yeah, wait, I absolutely I love it. Uh
<v Speaker 2>It's just perfect, like to me, like he's he's flexing,
<v Speaker 2>but he can also do the AA you know, like yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he could do double clothes. I'm just thinking of all
<v Speaker 2>the crazy stuff I would do if I was a
<v Speaker 2>kid with this, and and I really feel like a
<v Speaker 2>big kid again with these lgns, And so for that
<v Speaker 2>reason I chose And also Johnson his last year in
<v Speaker 2>the business, his final match this year, So for all
<v Speaker 2>those reasons, I went with the LJN. John Sina from
<v Speaker 2>Mattel and fans.
<v Speaker 3>I'm curious. Yeah, so many things.
<v Speaker 8>Major Marks were in agreement with Brian.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, got to in a row. Boys, it's a great figure. Guys.
<v Speaker 1>There's almost picked this one. Yeah, I almost picked this one.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I just think a lot of our fans
<v Speaker 3>are our same age, so they're in the same mindset
<v Speaker 3>as me. Like, man, imagine this guy freaking spin kicking
<v Speaker 3>your Brett heart. Yes as well if you could.
<v Speaker 1>Ultimately ended up going with Hogan though, because of.
<v Speaker 3>It's all nostylegic. Guys, what's next date?
<v Speaker 8>Okay, we got multi pack slash Bundle of the Year.
<v Speaker 8>I went with the Ultimate Edition Brandy Roads and the
<v Speaker 8>American Nightmare Cody Roads. Two packe too exclusive to MATEL
<v Speaker 8>Creations made the order, and it's the first Ultimate Edition
<v Speaker 8>item to have two figures in one package, as opposed
<v Speaker 8>to the standard bundle, which is too individually packaged figures
<v Speaker 8>in one outer shipper.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and this is when he wins the tie. I
<v Speaker 2>can't switch my pick now. But I totally forgot about
<v Speaker 2>There's so much great product that, like Brian said, it's hot.
<v Speaker 3>This was different, Like, this is the hardest this has
<v Speaker 3>ever been for me to do this show this year.
<v Speaker 3>It was a lot of stuff. You have to really
<v Speaker 3>think about, a lot of.
<v Speaker 8>New components made for this one and the first time
<v Speaker 8>on line Brandy Roads awesome.
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I didn't get this. I mean, I
<v Speaker 2>feel like I need this. I think it goes for
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money. Actually, damn made to order and.
<v Speaker 1>I so I went with more nostalgia, uh, And I
<v Speaker 1>went with the Dudley's.
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's a great one, great pick, multi ring exclusive
<v Speaker 3>Dudley Boys Ultimate two pack.
<v Speaker 1>Huge Dudley Boys fans at this time. I had the
<v Speaker 1>I had their shirt. Do you remember they came out
<v Speaker 1>with a long sleeve shirt. Do you guys remember that?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that Spikes were all that Spike was like, it
<v Speaker 3>was basically Spike's ringer you were all the time.
<v Speaker 1>That's what I had. I wore that all the time.
<v Speaker 8>But it might even be a Jack Stevon in the
<v Speaker 8>shirt too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Huge fans of the Dudley Boys here. And it
<v Speaker 1>really put a, you know, fit a big hole in
<v Speaker 1>my collection.
<v Speaker 2>So that they're they're they're they're truly excellent and ultimate figures.
<v Speaker 3>Brian, Well, my pick, guys, may be biased, maybe a
<v Speaker 3>hopeless romantic that there's a glimmer of hope that there's
<v Speaker 3>bright things in this company's future and they're not going
<v Speaker 3>to let us down. But I had to go with
<v Speaker 3>the Matt and Brian powers.
<v Speaker 2>Pick two back.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you can say what you want to say
<v Speaker 3>about Powertown, and we've said a lot of negative things
<v Speaker 3>about in the past couple of months. This tupac is
<v Speaker 3>unba believable. The packaging is unbelievable, the figures, the quality,
<v Speaker 3>the added value, the soft goods robe that Matt comes
<v Speaker 3>with is out of this world. Like it's just it's
<v Speaker 3>my favorite wrestling figure that's ever made of me, and
<v Speaker 3>that says a lot, so had to go with it.
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely love it. I didn't choose it because I
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to choose myself, but I'm glad Brian did.
<v Speaker 2>Wow much, so much went into this, and like Brian said,
<v Speaker 2>I think it's my favorite figure of me so far,
<v Speaker 2>definitely Brian's best. And I don't think that's just my opinion.
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a fact. And what I really love
<v Speaker 2>is behind the robe, like I added value the Internet Championship.
<v Speaker 2>I really hope Powertown, you know, delivers on the upcoming product.
<v Speaker 3>Got a you know, pull up the reins, you know,
<v Speaker 3>not to go on attentionent.
<v Speaker 1>But but the locker room was talking about Powertown this weekend.
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people I didn't realize pissed off about
<v Speaker 1>this TNA figures. What was the Speedball was talking about
<v Speaker 1>how really yeah, he ordered the entire TNA line. He's like,
<v Speaker 1>I ordered those two years ago. Where are they?
<v Speaker 3>Well now, if it's it's fit's Speedball complaining now, I
<v Speaker 3>hope they never.
<v Speaker 2>Come for those. For those not they know, I don't
<v Speaker 2>blame them, you know, but I.
<v Speaker 3>Mean, honestly, I feel terrible for like, like I wanted
<v Speaker 3>Josh Alexander and his son to have like such a
<v Speaker 3>moment with his first figure. That's he's growing up before
<v Speaker 3>this thing freaking comes out.
<v Speaker 2>So guys, Jordan Grace left TNA, went to NXC and
<v Speaker 2>got on the w rath before a Powertown figure came
<v Speaker 2>out and got a major product out. Yeah, anyway, so
<v Speaker 2>my pick. I was thinking about what Mark said with
<v Speaker 2>the Dudley's. I was also thinking about the other Dudley's,
<v Speaker 2>like the ECW Dudley's I contemplay as well, you guys,
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm crazy. I went with the Figure Collection
<v Speaker 2>Hardy Boys Bone Crushing No, I mean I guess that
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be on my retro list. It was right
<v Speaker 2>there as a runner up. Like, to me, bone Crunchers
<v Speaker 2>might be one of, if not my favorite toy lines ever,
<v Speaker 2>and like these certainly could have fit. They could have
<v Speaker 2>been the next too tough, you know, they could have
<v Speaker 2>been Series ten or Series eleven, and they're just perfect.
<v Speaker 2>And I absolutely love these figures. I really hope Jack
<v Speaker 2>keeps the bone Crushing Wrestlers alive. So fun, so nostalgic,
<v Speaker 2>and this is something that would look great autographed as well.
<v Speaker 3>Which so I've gotten it and sold it on my
<v Speaker 3>what and it looks awesome. I highly suggest it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so my pick was the Bone Crushing Wrestlers, Matt
<v Speaker 2>and Jeff, the Hardy Boys from Figure Collections. D What
<v Speaker 2>did the fans pick here for multi Pack of the Year.
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think they were wanting to head down to
<v Speaker 8>Dudleyville because.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, yeah, wow, they this a chuchard. Can we get
<v Speaker 2>this award bait and send it to Bully? Uh chu chu?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>Like even kind of like you said, those the ecw
<v Speaker 3>ones are very fun and good, but these are like,
<v Speaker 3>forget about it, Like, what else could you want?
<v Speaker 1>Well, you needed both of them anyways, But all right,
<v Speaker 1>what's the next category?
<v Speaker 8>Next category is a figure line of the year. I
<v Speaker 8>kind of went with the easy way, but hey, it's
<v Speaker 8>a it's the number one action figure in the USA.
<v Speaker 8>It is the main line Elite Collection assortment. Over eighty
<v Speaker 8>main line releases for the Elite Collection assortments.
<v Speaker 3>So cool, actually, holy shit cool information.
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, the standard waves were one thirteen through one twenty,
<v Speaker 8>and then they had the greatest hits waves, which was
<v Speaker 8>I think a wave five to weave eight.
<v Speaker 1>How many has Bros exist? WWF Fast Bus.
<v Speaker 2>Under one hundred or just over one hundred? Now it's
<v Speaker 2>like high eighties, I think, Right, it.
<v Speaker 1>All depends if you count.
<v Speaker 8>I mean, if we're talking individual items, it's probably more
<v Speaker 8>than especially.
<v Speaker 3>The character kind of like card backs that have different
<v Speaker 3>bark character figures, the characters.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so ww in one year in just one of
<v Speaker 1>their lines.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a different a different world we're living.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, anyways.
<v Speaker 3>Imagine we did this podcast in nineteen ninety one, what
<v Speaker 3>will be talking about the news would be so slow?
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's what people that's what people think we're doing.
<v Speaker 2>We're like, how do you talk about figures every single week?
<v Speaker 2>I'm like the news, like there's a lot going on.
<v Speaker 1>There's actually more news nowadays than think about our new
<v Speaker 1>segment today compared to like in twenty seventeen.
<v Speaker 2>Oh of course or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>Twenty eight sorry.
<v Speaker 2>Because it was just Mattel exactly. It's literally literally just yeah.
<v Speaker 8>But just about every wave had a first timeline character.
<v Speaker 8>I think that was the first uh well, I don't
<v Speaker 8>know if that was the first Timpany Stratt, but the
<v Speaker 8>first elite Tiffany Stratton Trick Williams showed up return Naomi
<v Speaker 8>and the Elite Collection assortment, and you also had in
<v Speaker 8>like those uh starting in summer, I think we got
<v Speaker 8>those those collectors edition John Cenas that also were featured
<v Speaker 8>across the mainline Elite Collection assortment.
<v Speaker 1>So a bunch of good stuff.
<v Speaker 3>I do want to say, this is this, this era
<v Speaker 3>that you have on the screen is one might be
<v Speaker 3>my least favorite elite packaging of all time. I agree,
<v Speaker 3>and I'm so glad they moved on from it because
<v Speaker 3>it's it's.
<v Speaker 8>Twenty twenty five. Had the cutoff windows so shortened window.
<v Speaker 2>And Lindsey just disintegrate. Yeah, Mark, what was your check?
<v Speaker 2>Your choice?
<v Speaker 1>I picked the what I thought everybody who was gonna
<v Speaker 1>pick was The Monday Night Worse.
<v Speaker 3>Very fun.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, was another for me, another nostalgia pick. But
<v Speaker 1>it's just hitting so many holes and I think a
<v Speaker 1>lot of collectors collections with the ultimates, with the elites.
<v Speaker 1>It's so fun. There's deep cuts, but there's also characters
<v Speaker 1>that we haven't ever gotten, and this year particular, like
<v Speaker 1>they're all bangers. I don't, I don't know to bro. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's super cool. So that's what I picked.
<v Speaker 8>Right, Albert, you got Albert, you got Shark, John Teg.
<v Speaker 3>There was a lot of fun was this year. It's
<v Speaker 3>a good pick as a wrestling fan and history buff.
<v Speaker 3>I had I thought long and hard about this, but
<v Speaker 3>I think because of those reasons, I went with Ringside
<v Speaker 3>Collectibles Defining Moments.
<v Speaker 2>Wow.
<v Speaker 3>I love that the packaging is a shout out to
<v Speaker 3>wrestling figure history. I love that the items themselves represent
<v Speaker 3>pro wrestling history. I love that that's not just, you know,
<v Speaker 3>segmented to what we grew up on. Like you can
<v Speaker 3>get a logan Paul in here that he did something
<v Speaker 3>or won a title, and it kind of feeds both
<v Speaker 3>hands and I love that. I think it's super fun
<v Speaker 3>and I always look forward to when these are released,
<v Speaker 3>So there you have it.
<v Speaker 2>I also chose the Monday Night Wars. It's my favorite
<v Speaker 2>line going. Like Mark said, there's just a wide variety.
<v Speaker 2>You get some first time in the line guys, You
<v Speaker 2>get like a superstar like Hogan, but in a unique look,
<v Speaker 2>you know, an obscure, deep cut look. You get the ultimates,
<v Speaker 2>and then the build of figures as well. So this
<v Speaker 2>has been my favorite line to collect. And you know,
<v Speaker 2>even though I passed on some of the figures, I
<v Speaker 2>have to get them all to do the build of figures.
<v Speaker 2>So it's just it's just it's really really fun and
<v Speaker 2>that is my UH pick for a figure line of
<v Speaker 2>the year.
<v Speaker 8>And the fans they love their Ultimate Edition.
<v Speaker 3>We were all just trying to steer clear of this
<v Speaker 3>because it was like.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but yeah, there's no denying like these Mattel what
<v Speaker 2>they say, they are the ultimate version the best wrestling figures.
<v Speaker 2>More times than not said character. You know, I do
<v Speaker 2>think that At first I thought it was gonna be
<v Speaker 2>like the defining ultimate version of the and they got
<v Speaker 2>a little you know, but it is what it is,
<v Speaker 2>toy lines five. I mean Series one is Warrior and WCW,
<v Speaker 2>so it could never be that. So yeah, so I'm
<v Speaker 2>a big fan of him. I love them. I don't
<v Speaker 2>get them. I wasn't complete at at one point. I'm
<v Speaker 2>not anymore, but I really appreciate them and just the
<v Speaker 2>added articulation. It just it just feels ultimate to me.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's the plus up most before all this had
<v Speaker 8>started with the entrance grades, then there was the funny moments,
<v Speaker 8>and so now starting I think this has been going
<v Speaker 8>since twenty eighteen with that Wave one with Round Rowsey
<v Speaker 8>and Ultimate Warrior, and yeah, now we're going on. I
<v Speaker 8>mean first one of twenty twenty six is is I
<v Speaker 8>think Wave twenty eight. This is for twenty twenty five.
<v Speaker 8>It was Waves twenty three through twenty seven. And you
<v Speaker 8>also had those two greatest hits waves with with Seth
<v Speaker 8>and that russ Wan you a three Hogan as well
<v Speaker 8>as the Roman Reigns and Razor Ramone Redeco.
<v Speaker 1>So just great. Do you remember when we thought we
<v Speaker 1>would just get like four ultimates a.
<v Speaker 2>Year, That's what I was thinking. It's wild.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, this was just main line that the major marst elected.
<v Speaker 8>So in terms of just there's an Ultimate edition form
<v Speaker 8>factor for every segment that they have, Monday Night, War Legends,
<v Speaker 8>you name it.
<v Speaker 2>I think they were just and I don't speak for them,
<v Speaker 2>but I think they mean ultimately. You know, that's what
<v Speaker 2>you just like you're say. Indeed, there's so many versions
<v Speaker 2>of ultimates, there's now exclusively.
<v Speaker 8>It specified on the poll that they they went ultimate
<v Speaker 8>edition main line. So they went, they went with the
<v Speaker 8>main line.
<v Speaker 2>They said screw the exclusive ones. They don't like those
<v Speaker 2>that with the main lines on. Well whatever, same, they
<v Speaker 2>were great. I love them.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Figure of the Year my pick. No one's uh,
<v Speaker 8>no one's been talking about it. But a lot of
<v Speaker 8>new tooling on this guy, at least not only kill killed.
<v Speaker 2>What what.
<v Speaker 1>Black gear?
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, this is the definitive Stone Cold for the
<v Speaker 8>time being for a lot of collectors, new Torso, new
<v Speaker 8>updated arms.
<v Speaker 2>Uh.
<v Speaker 8>Obviously they're existing arms, but for Stone Cold, Uh, they're
<v Speaker 8>given They're given him his justice. Finally, the big beefy
<v Speaker 8>thighs that collectors have been wanting for fifteen years. You're
<v Speaker 8>big beef thighs, big jacked arms. I think two new
<v Speaker 8>portraits for this particular release two and one, you get
<v Speaker 8>the two and one, you get the handcuffs to re
<v Speaker 8>recreate those iconic Attitude era moments. He's wasn't just arrested
<v Speaker 8>one moment. Obviously, this is depicting that I think the
<v Speaker 8>ninety eight arrest, but there was.
<v Speaker 2>Probably That's how I posed it getting arrested.
<v Speaker 8>And it also comes with the two beverage cans. So God,
<v Speaker 8>you get so much here with this guy. And as
<v Speaker 8>the updated are dropped down, hips brand new knee brace
<v Speaker 8>that's going to be featured across not just Stone called
<v Speaker 8>Steve Austin figures in the future, but also for Triple H.
<v Speaker 8>So a lot of new stuff coming out of the
<v Speaker 8>Monday Night War segment that is exclusive to walmart Ins
<v Speaker 8>Toy Superstars.
<v Speaker 3>Definitely a great figure. I just find it odd that
<v Speaker 3>it just sits on Walmart shelves across the country. That's
<v Speaker 3>that's strange to me.
<v Speaker 1>But I just feel like you've gotten so many Black Trunk.
<v Speaker 2>That's also it's hard to be but I do.
<v Speaker 3>I do completely understand what he's saying, Like he does
<v Speaker 3>have the This updated body is a better version than
<v Speaker 3>what we've gotten the past.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but kids aren't getting that, and and a lot
<v Speaker 1>of collectors who aren't don't.
<v Speaker 3>Have zillions to be a real figure. Is not like
<v Speaker 3>us to be like, oh exactly, they did did him
<v Speaker 3>justice because in the in the vest, you know the vest.
<v Speaker 3>If the vest was there, I'd be all about this.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, well you can fix it up and give
<v Speaker 2>We don't do pick ups here, come on, I do crazy.
<v Speaker 4>Well.
<v Speaker 1>I also picked stone Cold for the Best Figure of
<v Speaker 1>the Year, a part of the Ultimate Edition, an Elite
<v Speaker 1>Collection to Find.
<v Speaker 8>Moment's four pack.
<v Speaker 3>Oh you went with the bloody Yes.
<v Speaker 8>The rest Winya thirteen inspired look first ever full bloody.
<v Speaker 8>I mean technically that that defining moments. I think man
<v Speaker 8>kind had a little speck of blood on the on
<v Speaker 8>the tooth, but full blood on on a Wxtion figure
<v Speaker 8>by Mattel.
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sorry I was confused at what I was
<v Speaker 1>looking at. Yes, I did the bloody Stonekle Steve Austin.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so I was going to pick this. I initially
<v Speaker 2>didn't actually chose something else, but to me, like, this
<v Speaker 2>is a figure, I mean the fact that we have
<v Speaker 2>a bloody figure and it's from that iconic defining moment.
<v Speaker 2>So cool with added value, with the with the shirt.
<v Speaker 2>I believe there's a vest in there as well, right,
<v Speaker 2>so there's like so much added value.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't remember I did open this. I haven't displayed.
<v Speaker 2>Guys.
<v Speaker 3>It's something. I have this displayed in the Sharpshire without Bratt.
<v Speaker 1>It broke me too.
<v Speaker 3>I'm just waiting for Brett.
<v Speaker 2>Me too.
<v Speaker 3>I have him in the position ready to go. I
<v Speaker 3>have him like any we're just waiting for Brett.
<v Speaker 2>Now.
<v Speaker 3>Oh, but he's behind like the handles of my doors.
<v Speaker 2>He can't. It's not like an eye sore until then
<v Speaker 2>I'll get I think I would just put in a
<v Speaker 2>zip lock until the Brett came.
<v Speaker 8>No, it's like a there is There is technically a
<v Speaker 8>break in the wrestling of thirteen year, but it was
<v Speaker 8>battle pack in the in the basic form factor.
<v Speaker 3>Now, yeah, you look terrible. It wouldn't stay out.
<v Speaker 1>The only thing I will say is, if you were
<v Speaker 1>to like rank, if you were to rank career defining moments,
<v Speaker 1>not figures, just just just wrestling defining moments, this is
<v Speaker 1>number one.
<v Speaker 2>I don't I mean, like like if you're looking at
<v Speaker 2>the term of what that really means for somebody.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, a Corolla maker, Yes, bleeding to uh to pass
<v Speaker 1>out and doing a double turn at WrestleMania is the
<v Speaker 1>number one angle.
<v Speaker 3>Getting his head shave was probably pretty a relief. You know,
<v Speaker 3>he's fighting male pattern baldness for so many years.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I mean those are tons of great ones, but
<v Speaker 1>this is just a best.
<v Speaker 3>Again, very difficult choice here, guys, we're just so blessed
<v Speaker 3>this like world we're living, and with wrestling figures, it's ridiculous.
<v Speaker 2>I had runner ups in my mind.
<v Speaker 3>This Paul Hayman right here on the screen, defining moments,
<v Speaker 3>just something I never thought I would have, something I
<v Speaker 3>think people neither have like in their hand to appreciate,
<v Speaker 3>like the girth of him and that he's like, he's
<v Speaker 3>not just like this generic suited body figures. There's a
<v Speaker 3>lot of really awesome details in that figure. Naomi Elite
<v Speaker 3>one seventeen. Obviously, she's my good friend and I was
<v Speaker 3>so happy for her to see in return, and they
<v Speaker 3>knocked that out of the park. It's such a especially
<v Speaker 3>for our mainline figure. I feel like it's like above
<v Speaker 3>and beyond great figure. The other very very close runner
<v Speaker 3>up I had in my mind was the Great Mood
<v Speaker 3>of Ultimate Obviously, you know I think the chase one
<v Speaker 3>is give or take whatever you know, your preferences. But
<v Speaker 3>that's something I don't think we'd ever thought we'd see.
<v Speaker 3>And they matell crush that it's such an amazing figure,
<v Speaker 3>but I had to go jazz Wears, will Osprey Supreme
<v Speaker 3>Rings like collectibles exclusive, Like I have no reason to,
<v Speaker 3>you know, to picck this, like like I'm no like
<v Speaker 3>sentimental ties to will Osprey, But this is like an
<v Speaker 3>unbelievable action figure.
<v Speaker 2>You open this up.
<v Speaker 3>The options, the hands, the heads, the robe is breathtaking
<v Speaker 3>lye like insanely detailed, and the work of art, the deco,
<v Speaker 3>hit just everything is just such a perfect figure, like
<v Speaker 3>almost something that makes me like jealous.
<v Speaker 2>I wish it was like of me like that to
<v Speaker 2>that level of like just perfectness. So there you go. Yeah.
<v Speaker 8>Originally exclusive to Walmart, then pivoted to jazz Re's vault,
<v Speaker 8>but also rings I Clickables also had a few of
<v Speaker 8>these available as well. Probably sold out now, but yeah, Christmas, Yeah,
<v Speaker 8>all right, Matt, your pick.
<v Speaker 2>All right, my pick for Figure of the Year. It
<v Speaker 2>was tough, Like like I said earlier, I was initially
<v Speaker 2>I did submit that Stone Cold Steve Austin. But then
<v Speaker 2>after I did a little more research, I switched it
<v Speaker 2>to the Hulk still rules. Ultimate addition, like this is
<v Speaker 2>the comeback version of Hogan, the two thousand and two
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood Hulk Kogan. He comes back, becomes the underspeted Champion.
<v Speaker 2>Like I think you just had to be a fan
<v Speaker 2>during this time period. I think we talked about it
<v Speaker 2>when it first came out, like this was the first
<v Speaker 2>time nostalgia was a thing in pro wrestling, at least
<v Speaker 2>that I can remember. You know, because this is your
<v Speaker 2>Hogan that you you know, he comes in as the
<v Speaker 2>nWo but you're cheering him so fucking loud at Mania
<v Speaker 2>that they gotta pivot, they gotta switch. And then he
<v Speaker 2>comes out as like this hybrid Hollywood and red and Yellow.
<v Speaker 2>So it like wasn't super cheesy, it was still cool.
<v Speaker 2>It still had the the the black scruff, but had
<v Speaker 2>the red and yellow man. Like, I absolutely love this.
<v Speaker 2>It was my first time ill in nostalgia in life
<v Speaker 2>in pro wrestling, and now it's celebrated in figure form.
<v Speaker 1>You've been asking for this figure since like the beginning
<v Speaker 1>of the podcast.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And the sad thing is I bought an extra
<v Speaker 2>to get it signed, and unfortunately he passed away. So
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if there's many or any of the
<v Speaker 2>sign out aught of that. Wow. I I don't know
<v Speaker 2>if if the math mass you know if I don't
<v Speaker 2>know if it, if it if it soon got in time, right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure. But to me, this is a fronter
<v Speaker 2>with the with and I'm a sucker for that undisputed title.
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm a sucker for it. I love it.
<v Speaker 2>Nice Tan, this this Hulk still rules Hollywood. Hulk Cogan
<v Speaker 2>is my pick for a Figure of the Year.
<v Speaker 8>And the Major Marks for their pick, they went with
<v Speaker 8>the aw unrivaled Supreme Collection, will Ospray exclusively, Jets Result
<v Speaker 8>and Ringside Collectibles.
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling you guys, it's it actually doesn't really do
<v Speaker 3>much justice in the box like that, but I don't
<v Speaker 3>know what else.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it comes with the alternate legs because technically I
<v Speaker 8>think this is based off of like Revolution twenty twenty four.
<v Speaker 8>I'm guessing I think it was twenty twenty four, so
<v Speaker 8>he doesn't have the fully update tattoos. We'll see if
<v Speaker 8>they get to update a tats for Osprey this year.
<v Speaker 8>And it also has those interchangeable dynasty legs. So technically
<v Speaker 8>only one of these outfits goes with that goes with
<v Speaker 8>that soft goods jacket.
<v Speaker 1>But I was gonna say that budget. But you have
<v Speaker 1>like if you're playing with it or whatever, then you
<v Speaker 1>have Yeah, you have two looks.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and you have I think the two alternate portraits,
<v Speaker 8>a bunch of different options with the hands.
<v Speaker 1>So only a matter of time before they.
<v Speaker 8>Have a rings like Collecble was exclusive continental version of
<v Speaker 8>of Little Osprey. So we'll see, we'll see how many
<v Speaker 8>more Osprey figures get pumped out just for twenty twenty
<v Speaker 8>six alone.
<v Speaker 2>So true, what a second. Boys, thank you so much.
<v Speaker 2>That was a lot of a lot of talk and
<v Speaker 2>a lot of cool figures. Good problem to have.
<v Speaker 3>I like these eight. These are the eight worth talking about.
<v Speaker 3>Makes this whole thing better though.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if anything we could cut for next year, I
<v Speaker 2>think it's maybe worse figure of the year. You know
<v Speaker 2>what else we cut this year was place out of
<v Speaker 2>the year. There's not enough playset thing.
<v Speaker 8>There was a good amount of bundles with the rings.
<v Speaker 2>No, it's like you're just giving someone an award like
<v Speaker 2>a participation truck.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, literally, like that money the redecoed money in the
<v Speaker 3>bank would be like, we.
<v Speaker 2>Don't give away participation truck.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you need to work that knuckle.
<v Speaker 8>The knuckle Cruncher's Final Boss microphone place set. I think
<v Speaker 8>it's sill available on ringside. Use code Major to save
<v Speaker 8>ten percent and check it now.
<v Speaker 2>D would have given, well, there's only one thing out there.
<v Speaker 2>You can't give an award for best thing. If there's
<v Speaker 2>that's ridiculous.
<v Speaker 1>That's the most different you could have chosen.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, when when you have to google what came out,
<v Speaker 2>there wasn't enough boom. You know.
<v Speaker 3>There we go drop the mic broke.

<v Speaker 3>it even ever, if you ever obtain it or even
<v Speaker 3>have the opportunity to purchase it.
<v Speaker 2>You know, I wonder if there's gonna be tops now
<v Speaker 2>mac Cardona, card.
<v Speaker 3>I bet I'm actually surprised we haven't seen it yet. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I'll text somebody, I'll text well, our good friends of
<v Speaker 3>ring Psycholeecticals had a hell of a first week twenty
<v Speaker 3>twenty six. I tell you that, Wow, great greatest hits,
<v Speaker 3>which I even said to them. I was like, wait
<v Speaker 3>a second, this is a brand new figure houses great
<v Speaker 3>as hits. It's kind of like a little snaffoo if
<v Speaker 3>you will, But that's the deal. Cody Rhoads. I was
<v Speaker 3>blown away. I thought this was a head but it's
<v Speaker 3>actually a soft like plastic mask and it comes up easily.
<v Speaker 3>It comes up very easily. Yeah, has a little band
<v Speaker 3>in the back. Yeah, okay, I didn't know that. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was just a whole nother mold. We
<v Speaker 3>get the scream, we had stoic head hands, really cool.
<v Speaker 3>The belt has Cody plates. That's the first time. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>but really really nice piece. Cody again having a hell
<v Speaker 3>of a week because he's got the fresh defining moments
<v Speaker 3>which depicts him from a Saturday night's main event of
<v Speaker 3>the Nassau.
<v Speaker 2>I'll see him.
<v Speaker 3>My kids were there wearing the winged Eagle, and for
<v Speaker 3>you belt snobs, that's not me. But I can even
<v Speaker 3>tell that this is like the most souped up, detailed,
<v Speaker 3>best version of that winged Eagle that's ever been done
<v Speaker 3>by Matella.
<v Speaker 2>That makes that I must I'm super jealous of him
<v Speaker 2>that he had that figure with the winged eagle.
<v Speaker 3>And this bad boy Netflix debut pent Dad, I'm actually
<v Speaker 3>gonna rip this open air alive and do an unboxing.
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty excited. I call him the most toyatic man
<v Speaker 3>in wrestling.
<v Speaker 1>I call him the coolest man in wrestling. Penta and
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about just the regular guy.
<v Speaker 3>I still don't ever really met him, just a quick
<v Speaker 3>wave at a convention. I want to say one time.
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually, what's the figure? Nerd to me is really cool.
<v Speaker 3>You can't even look at that all background there. The
<v Speaker 3>figure nerd to me is very excited to see how
<v Speaker 3>this this face plate works. You switch around the Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>so take a look here before I rip it open.
<v Speaker 3>Oh that is super he hung out and then there
<v Speaker 3>he's got two more face plates to change his facial
<v Speaker 3>expression and it looks like it looks seamless, like I
<v Speaker 3>don't know how.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he thinks there he couldn't do that with a
<v Speaker 1>regular face.
<v Speaker 3>But because because of how he is right?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, am I incorrect in saying that Penta debuted at
<v Speaker 2>the first raw on Netflix? I literally just said. So
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, So this figure comes out in about
<v Speaker 2>twelve months, it's like to date, right, yeah, right, Well,
<v Speaker 2>first off, oh my god, the figure is Yeah. I
<v Speaker 2>thought that basic last week was sick.
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is like still have that basic.
<v Speaker 8>The mouthplate is interchangement with these mouthplates.
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't tell, Like it's so it's so well done,
<v Speaker 2>it's seamless that I can't.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, there's a lot of yeah, the way you engineer it.
<v Speaker 8>I mean there's even we were talking about those Jack
<v Speaker 8>Simpsons figures. A lot of those people wouldn't even know
<v Speaker 8>that there's glue operations that are on those figures.
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know.
<v Speaker 3>My fingers are like too big, Like how do you like,
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know how to do it?
<v Speaker 8>Just pull forward?
<v Speaker 2>How do you pull forward?
<v Speaker 1>Pull toward you.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe get your nail under there or something.
<v Speaker 3>I'm scared. Oh now the nail did the trick, all right.
<v Speaker 3>So I just popped off the tongue and then I'm
<v Speaker 3>going with just a straight up teethy one. Wow, that
<v Speaker 3>is crazy.
<v Speaker 2>I think you gotta go tongue out right. Yeah, I know,
<v Speaker 2>but I just want the technology was so fascinating I
<v Speaker 2>love it. I think it's very unique.
<v Speaker 3>And he wore this song like huge hands, So I'm
<v Speaker 3>struggling with some of those.
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like this is based off of the
<v Speaker 1>Netflix debut.
<v Speaker 8>But I think it was on the second episode of Rot.
<v Speaker 2>Netflix, so oh okay, it's like unreal.
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, there's screaming, closed mouth and tongue.
<v Speaker 1>Well he only stuck his tongue out on episode.
<v Speaker 3>Oh and I also, wow, I didn't realize he has
<v Speaker 3>like so this one. I don't know if you guys
<v Speaker 3>can tell. He kind of has like it's bent, like
<v Speaker 3>the way he does that walk. Okay, like it's like that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he's doing his like, oh, that's how you
<v Speaker 1>gotta post it.
<v Speaker 3>That's so cool ship. Great job guys, Super Ringside exclusive.
<v Speaker 3>He was discount code Major safe ten percent get yourself
<v Speaker 3>a Netflix debut penta man that's unbelievable figure.
<v Speaker 2>I know it's a little late, but I got these
<v Speaker 2>from Mexico Toys the National Lampood's Christmas vacation because pause
<v Speaker 2>all over these at my house on Christmas morning.
<v Speaker 3>I love these figures. You're way tinier than I thought
<v Speaker 3>they'd be, but I still love them.
<v Speaker 8>Well, it's it's three and three quarters five points, so
<v Speaker 8>they have some Batman ones. I don't know if Matt
<v Speaker 8>has those pre order or not.
<v Speaker 1>But how long did it take you to get these, Matt?
<v Speaker 8>Or these? How long ago did you pre ordered?
<v Speaker 3>The first week of November? I went and found the
<v Speaker 3>email and they came like a week before Christmas.
<v Speaker 2>No, Mesco actually set these to me, So thank you Mesco.
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate it.
<v Speaker 3>Oh, thank you Mesco. Yeah, I won my money.
<v Speaker 2>I will be getting the the Batman ones. But let's
<v Speaker 2>get back to wrestlings for a second. I got this
<v Speaker 2>from Target.
<v Speaker 3>Pipper's Pit random shipping notification until if forgot even.
<v Speaker 2>Boys, I think, and Brian, you tell me what you're
<v Speaker 2>gonna do. I think I'm gonna keep Piper and the
<v Speaker 2>Piper's Pit and see you later, Paul Order, see you later,
<v Speaker 2>Bob Morton, I cannot decide. I have not even and
<v Speaker 2>I gotta do some comparisons, like.
<v Speaker 8>Are you just gonna have the set be empty them
<v Speaker 8>just with Piper?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>I mean I don't really even have the real estate
<v Speaker 3>for a reason, I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm sorry, sorry cowboy, Bob, Sorry, wonder I got
<v Speaker 2>don't know And to me.
<v Speaker 3>It's like I think the Coliseum collection Piper is basically
<v Speaker 3>the same thing and just more souped up, right, So.
<v Speaker 2>That if that's the case, then I might cut Piper
<v Speaker 2>just keep the pit. Yeah, I don't know that that
<v Speaker 2>might be possible. The chairs are unreal.
<v Speaker 3>Do they look like something that would be like a
<v Speaker 3>grandma's house?
<v Speaker 2>So cool? Yeah, such a great set.
<v Speaker 8>I think the soft goods on that Piper's pit for
<v Speaker 8>the three pack, I think that one actually has like
<v Speaker 8>the Ringer, whereas the other one didn't. That was like
<v Speaker 8>the pre Ringer tea the collection.
<v Speaker 3>And that might not be enough.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, actually, the you know what Cosum collection I don't
<v Speaker 2>count as elites. I don't count's ultimate. I'm sorry. I
<v Speaker 2>keep count the thing, so I'll definitely be keeping this.
<v Speaker 2>I also my stereo Halloween. He what a fun figure.
<v Speaker 2>I opened it before the show started. Here I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna display mass ripped.
<v Speaker 3>So I was literally google opening this and then got
<v Speaker 3>my wheel spinning. I was googling pictures. So this is
<v Speaker 3>like pre match, right because he also has the soft
<v Speaker 3>goods like removable entrance belt that he wore. Yeah, so
<v Speaker 3>he takes that off to wrestle, and then he also
<v Speaker 3>wins the belt like you can't put the belt on
<v Speaker 3>him right, and then you get the ripped mask.
<v Speaker 2>So I think I'm going to go that route to
<v Speaker 2>risk that's been holding the belt up its Unfortunately, it
<v Speaker 2>is a cool accessory, you know, the mask necklace kind
<v Speaker 2>of deal has got to go. But he's not wearing
<v Speaker 2>that good thing. He's not wearing that post.
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't wear it in the match.
<v Speaker 2>It's like he wears it.
<v Speaker 1>To the lea.
<v Speaker 2>That's that's why he listened to the major podcast.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, but you can you compare it with that Monday
<v Speaker 8>Night wore Eddie Carurero. Where is in that same outfit.
<v Speaker 2>I got the whole line of legends. I think these
<v Speaker 2>are all Musk keeps for me this mind it. I
<v Speaker 2>didn't get any note those. Yeah, so I got British
<v Speaker 2>Bulldog with the long hair and the shorts. I got
<v Speaker 2>Kurt head Egg, which I'm keeping like this in the trunks.
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the single it, but I'm not keeping that.
<v Speaker 2>I'm keeping the title on him the added value.
<v Speaker 3>But someone posted that Kurt like loose in the group,
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, oh man, that's like a kind of
<v Speaker 3>it's a weird cut, but it's like a dream figure
<v Speaker 3>for me, man like.
<v Speaker 2>Kurt. Definitely keeping this Kurt heading with the title Bobby
<v Speaker 2>the Brain. I think I'm also keeping in the nice red.
<v Speaker 2>It's not spark as sparkly as I would like.
<v Speaker 3>But that's the first time with hands and do the
<v Speaker 3>point and stuff, so.
<v Speaker 2>It's I think it's a must. And then again another
<v Speaker 2>musk for me is mister money in the bank, Rob
<v Speaker 2>Bandam is that like two thousand and six? Yes, it
<v Speaker 2>works for me, That works for you worse two thousand
<v Speaker 2>and seven, got you? Okay? So I think this is
<v Speaker 2>the one. Is this what he wore Rustle Maine at
<v Speaker 2>twenty two? I believe so yeah, yeah, so when I.
<v Speaker 8>When I do my cuts, so technically technically, I mean
<v Speaker 8>he I'm pretty sure he wore that single it after
<v Speaker 8>ross Many twenty two with the customer's briefcase, because at
<v Speaker 8>riss Many twenty two he didn't automatically right away, of.
<v Speaker 2>Course, and there's some things you got to make except
<v Speaker 2>before because this is but uh but yeah, hey question.
<v Speaker 1>But the guys that Raymisterio, we we there was an
<v Speaker 1>elite one before him. We could just get rid of that.
<v Speaker 3>Right, And that's another thing I have to like that
<v Speaker 3>that that Rays Phantom Halloween have a Ray has been
<v Speaker 3>a front for a decade in.
<v Speaker 8>My collection series sixty nine.
<v Speaker 1>I think I could keep it and put the little.
<v Speaker 2>Mask on.
<v Speaker 3>And it's like, this thing is so much better and
<v Speaker 3>then that figure is nice, which is the crazy thing
<v Speaker 3>to say.
<v Speaker 8>That Ray also has like new boots, I believe too.
<v Speaker 8>It's got like the straps on the side.
<v Speaker 2>It's a it's an ultimate Raymisterio must half of my collection.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and then for spring it's gonna be the Brave
<v Speaker 8>Wyatt based off of the twenty thirteen Look.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I got a lot of stuff that I
<v Speaker 1>just want to list because it's it's I'm catching up
<v Speaker 1>on stuff and blah blah blah. There's a huge pile.
<v Speaker 1>But first thing is I got the entire Ghostbusters plasma series.

<v Speaker 1>From the old packaging from x y ninety seven, we
<v Speaker 1>got Street Wars.
<v Speaker 2>That's like a close your eyes picture street Gear Wolverine.
<v Speaker 1>Street Gear Wolverine Cable is one of my favorite characters.
<v Speaker 1>This is just a badass figure.
<v Speaker 2>So I'll have that.
<v Speaker 1>And then I do collect select MCUs and this Punisher
<v Speaker 1>is just so good. The actor I love them so much.
<v Speaker 1>So I got that nice lastly goodness, some vintage collection.
<v Speaker 1>I got Admiral Than I got a Mandalorian super Commando.
<v Speaker 2>You just like, what do you realize? Like, I haven't
<v Speaker 2>bought anything in months and just went nuts.
<v Speaker 1>I did some rearranging, making room and deciding who I
<v Speaker 1>wanted to keep in what thing?
<v Speaker 2>Got it? Got it? Okay, this is great.
<v Speaker 1>This is from season three when h yeah that thro
<v Speaker 1>drives In the IG twelve, we got a little Cob
<v Speaker 1>Cob Vance Dvance and then Assage Ventus and then the
<v Speaker 1>Deluxe Blurg Glorious.
<v Speaker 2>Mark, you gotta take some pictures of your toy room.
<v Speaker 1>Opening them all up. We'll put them right on the show.
<v Speaker 2>Help.
<v Speaker 3>So you just damaged every single package. Yeah, that's why
<v Speaker 3>I throw a couple of quick hits. My boy Miles
<v Speaker 3>a collector. He sent a little care package for me
<v Speaker 3>and Broski. I think he thought this was gonna be
<v Speaker 3>Brosky's brand new shirt, but it was only for a
<v Speaker 3>short amount of time. He makes like the nicest soft
<v Speaker 3>goods resting figure stuff out there. I think today. Check
<v Speaker 3>it out. You know it's two sided Broski. The week
<v Speaker 3>I think Mark hadis in college. He lisn't through this
<v Speaker 3>one in your package. We could probably give us the
<v Speaker 3>old school sting shirt. One of my ex students I
<v Speaker 3>saw at ken Con apparently opened a wrestling soap company,
<v Speaker 3>top Rope Soap, all natural stuff. I'm gonna give that
<v Speaker 3>a try. I have very sensitive skin, so I'm down
<v Speaker 3>with this. But I picked out up Babyface and this
<v Speaker 3>one is sleeper Hole.
<v Speaker 2>I like it.
<v Speaker 3>A grail item that's just straight up me tena nerd
<v Speaker 3>thing that I've had on my save listings for like
<v Speaker 3>two or three years now, finally popped up. Oh, let's
<v Speaker 3>hear it came it. I couldn't believe it was my size.
<v Speaker 3>It looks like unworn the international sellar. I was so
<v Speaker 3>fired up pop Barazi's Wow, I spy the original T
<v Speaker 3>tona Alex Shelley Kevin Nash T shirt. I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 3>figured up to find this. It just came. I mean
<v Speaker 3>like literally been in my safe like not even like
<v Speaker 3>oh not my size, like has been nothing in two
<v Speaker 3>or three years. Finally came it. As a collector, you
<v Speaker 3>guys know that's a good feeling. And last but not least,
<v Speaker 3>my favorite thing I got this week the man that
<v Speaker 3>just got absolutely screwed and I hope this Friday he
<v Speaker 3>gets his win back because.
<v Speaker 2>Your toxic MEC.
<v Speaker 3>Your toxic I can't that now look at him.
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I need that for my collection.
<v Speaker 1>Now there you go, guys, you.
<v Speaker 3>Work J and J Figures, by the way, shout out
<v Speaker 3>to the ball.
<v Speaker 2>Well not guys I worked with, but like my miscellaneous guys,
<v Speaker 2>I squashed shelf. No like I I think I'll put
<v Speaker 2>like the striker and uh Corvaan for my debut and
<v Speaker 2>then debut. Yeah, my maccno history shelf right, I gotta
<v Speaker 2>is that still on ringside? I gotta get that.
<v Speaker 8>Probably not. I think it was like one eleven on
<v Speaker 8>It's getting up there, came out last year, all right.
<v Speaker 2>Let me rap it fire through some things, junk shop,
<v Speaker 2>dog killing it. They also made some ton of hashish.
<v Speaker 2>Sent them both to me. Now, I don't know which
<v Speaker 2>one I need to keep. That they're not just repaints,
<v Speaker 2>they're different molds in the head, which that was really
<v Speaker 2>really cool something I didn't realize in advance.
<v Speaker 8>It's a different nupper body, different upper body as well. Okay, no, no,
<v Speaker 8>you're saying different upper body because because the head's different.
<v Speaker 2>True, true, right. So I don't know which one I
<v Speaker 2>want to keep. But awesome, and I mean a lot
<v Speaker 2>of people.
<v Speaker 8>I mean when people, at least from what I gauge,
<v Speaker 8>is that people usually picture ton Hashi in white gear.
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's what I mean. Yeah, Like I said,
<v Speaker 3>the one that the black.
<v Speaker 8>Tights, the one that's in the black tights, I think
<v Speaker 8>is the one that the n JPW Super seventh figure
<v Speaker 8>is based off of.
<v Speaker 2>But that one actually maybe this is the one I
<v Speaker 2>do keep in the white. But speaking of Japanese legends,
<v Speaker 2>look at this the death match King Matt Car. Did
<v Speaker 2>we talk about this last week?
<v Speaker 3>Did those come in like right after we logged off
<v Speaker 3>or something? They must have right, because you were selling
<v Speaker 3>them on your one on on Monday and I was going, man,
<v Speaker 3>we didn't really like yeah, So.
<v Speaker 2>Uh, this is incredible for those who don't know I, I,
<v Speaker 2>you know, work with junk Yo junk Up Dog in
<v Speaker 2>advance because I knew I three you know me, I'm
<v Speaker 2>a figure who I try to get any figure I could,
<v Speaker 2>but didn't make sense to get a junk shop dog
<v Speaker 2>because he only does Japanese wrestles. Said well, I'm actually
<v Speaker 2>going to DDT for three shows. What if we plan
<v Speaker 2>three outfits, three figures and we did it and this
<v Speaker 2>is the first one in the King Koopa.
<v Speaker 3>That's the kind of forward thinking that makes your indie
<v Speaker 3>run absurd, Right, So that's not a shot. That's an observation.
<v Speaker 2>SDL needs because she's on the package. She's actually on
<v Speaker 2>the package of all three of them because they didn't
<v Speaker 2>switch the packaging. But this is incredible. Gear this when
<v Speaker 2>I won the DDT Universal Championship and why this figure
<v Speaker 2>means so much to me. Is because when I was
<v Speaker 2>in Japan, my my grandma passed away and I obviously
<v Speaker 2>couldn't leave Japan to get back there in time. So
<v Speaker 2>like I just wrote like Nana on my wrist tape
<v Speaker 2>and it's on the figure.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so say you're a post about that. I had
<v Speaker 3>no idea or at least I don't remember that.
<v Speaker 2>So she was a little hit in detail, you know that.
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, hey, like can we include this? Like why not? Right?
<v Speaker 2>And they did it? So I really really love this figure.
<v Speaker 2>The King Koopa s gear from when I won the championship,
<v Speaker 2>and then there's there's there's two other ones. So then
<v Speaker 2>there's the USA when I wrestled machi Ito and I
<v Speaker 2>was covered in blood, so you can get that as well.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to open those right here. And then
<v Speaker 2>the the all black and gold Indie god like written
<v Speaker 2>in Japan Japanese writing from when I lost the U
<v Speaker 2>the DDT Championship. So get them all junk Shop, Dog
<v Speaker 2>dot Com, get them. Yeah, I have a bunch. Obviously
<v Speaker 2>I won't be able to sell them, so I don't
<v Speaker 2>know what to do with them. Was really really cool, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, really really cool. I just love this
<v Speaker 2>style of figure, the Pope figure, and.
<v Speaker 3>It's very fun. Actually, Uh, Jane j had a nice
<v Speaker 3>booth set up at Kenkon and I walked TJ over
<v Speaker 3>just because I know he's such a Japanese wrestling nostalgia guy.
<v Speaker 3>Like to see him, like, do you know they make these?
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty cool, you know, to see the array of talent.
<v Speaker 2>John schrap Dog made some incredible stuff and he's an
<v Speaker 2>incredible guy. So I'm honored to be in the line.
<v Speaker 2>And uh, I love my time in DDT uh some
<v Speaker 2>of the best, you know, even though it's just three shows,
<v Speaker 2>it was just oh man, they I just loved it.
<v Speaker 2>I loved Japan. I love everything about Japan. I can't
<v Speaker 2>wait to go back there now with with wwe Uh
<v Speaker 2>do you guys have anything else?
<v Speaker 3>Or I'm done donezo? Okay, guys.
<v Speaker 2>So when I was taking apart my toy room, I
<v Speaker 2>was analyzing my has bros. Right, and I was giving
<v Speaker 2>him what I have to call the click click boom test.
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying.
<v Speaker 3>It was just like when you tried to big league,
<v Speaker 3>big league me about my piper.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, did you have did you fix them by the
<v Speaker 2>way like I will and I see it. I'm not
<v Speaker 2>gonna move my mind about it. But also my Machoman's
<v Speaker 2>like the same way. I don't know if there's something
<v Speaker 2>about the white Enhasbro figures and boots like and I
<v Speaker 2>agree with you, Brian, like my my Lucy's don't need
<v Speaker 2>to be ten out of tend minute because we had
<v Speaker 2>them in on card and then there's that, right, But
<v Speaker 2>then there were there were six has Bros that I
<v Speaker 2>had that I felt not were they not ten to ten?
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think they were like eight to ten.
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, I can't do this. Okay, I'm
<v Speaker 2>Matt Cardona, I'm the Michael Jordan collecting. I can't do this.
<v Speaker 2>If you follow Mabel Toys on Instagram, he's a crazy
<v Speaker 2>s ob but he has like a store of I
<v Speaker 2>don't know what he does. He just buys up entire
<v Speaker 2>hasmost collections. So he is like, I need to go
<v Speaker 2>vlog at his as little setup. He has like a
<v Speaker 2>whole thing a skinner like it's by character. So I said, dude,
<v Speaker 2>these are the guys I'm looking for. Can you find
<v Speaker 2>me the mintiest mints that you got? So here we go.
<v Speaker 2>We got said justice, I think weird my fingers mine
<v Speaker 2>mine had the click click boom problem. Okay, and it
<v Speaker 2>wasn't even like totally broken, but a little broken. And
<v Speaker 2>I'm a psycho, right, you know what I'm saying. So
<v Speaker 2>this this sid uh, you know, works perfectly. He also
<v Speaker 2>got me a Nasty Boys Brian Knobs. Okay, so now
<v Speaker 2>these are like ten out of ten, if not nine
<v Speaker 2>out of ten. Yeah, it looks great. Okay, this one
<v Speaker 2>was hard to get one Purple Warrior yep. Okay, Now
<v Speaker 2>this is where it gets crazy, guys. Okay, he was
<v Speaker 2>tracked down this for me because I wanted a minty
<v Speaker 2>minty minty Hogan out. This packaging is not minty minty
<v Speaker 2>mint Yeah, obviously that's what.
<v Speaker 3>It's meant for. Now to let him breathe, Let it
<v Speaker 3>breathe right now? Did you even use like pressure to
<v Speaker 3>get that off the bubble?
<v Speaker 2>We have a minty minty mint Hogan. Honestly, there's a
<v Speaker 2>little little hiccup in the action. What No, it's working,
<v Speaker 2>it's working, but you're not here. There's a lot, no,
<v Speaker 2>but the mechanisms breakover time is just really nothing. There's
<v Speaker 2>like we've talked about it before. Whatever the mechanism is
<v Speaker 2>on the axle rotten into Jerry Ecw figures it just
<v Speaker 2>breaks like there's nothing like you can do, it deteriorates
<v Speaker 2>or something on the inside. So there's a Hogan Mint
<v Speaker 2>and the guys this work gets nuts because he had
<v Speaker 2>a Luger and a Yoko. But I'm like, it's not
<v Speaker 2>quite meant for me. I'm like, how mint you got?
<v Speaker 2>And he said, I gott oh, no, don't do that.
<v Speaker 2>Don't know, No, dude, don't do that. How crazy would
<v Speaker 2>it be? Just has some patience room's not even set up.
<v Speaker 2>Just how crazy would it? No, why would you need
<v Speaker 2>to do this? You don't even do it. You don't
<v Speaker 2>even have out of the package. How crazy would it
<v Speaker 2>be to take the total package out of the pack.
<v Speaker 3>Well, technically that's a narcissist, but that.
<v Speaker 2>Was the narcissist Lex Luger, Minty, Minty, Minty. His action
<v Speaker 2>looks like it works good. And then do not open
<v Speaker 2>a green car?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, stop, that thing is mint Then you can find
<v Speaker 3>a beat up green card.
<v Speaker 2>No, no, almighty Yoko. He basically just.
<v Speaker 3>Took like three hundred dollars and just set it on fire.
<v Speaker 2>So I don't get it empty mint.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, of course I freaking open a thirty year old figure.
<v Speaker 3>But if it wasn't, wasn't that sually it wasn't. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, there it is.
<v Speaker 2>So I got Yoko Warrior Hogan knobs, sit and luger.
<v Speaker 1>What was wrong with your Yoko that you needed that?
<v Speaker 2>There's like something like on the feet, like his his
<v Speaker 2>feet are his feet chip Yoko's feet chips?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, please Jesus Christ.

<v Speaker 2>tell me without telling me. Matt is back in w rips,
<v Speaker 2>Open lexit, yoga, hass bros, Billy Peck. That's got to
<v Speaker 2>be a clip, right, we gotta make a clip of that.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, come on, I assume you did it for
<v Speaker 1>a clip.
<v Speaker 2>All right.
<v Speaker 1>Questions, we got a mass questionnaire. If you could pick
<v Speaker 1>one figure that has come out in the past five
<v Speaker 1>years and take it back in time with you to
<v Speaker 1>when you were a kid to play with your fig fed. WHOA,
<v Speaker 1>This is a great question. I figure that you would
<v Speaker 1>be blown away by as a kid. What would it be?
<v Speaker 4>Man?
<v Speaker 2>I think just the figures in general are so great,
<v Speaker 2>But to me it's more so like the play set's
<v Speaker 2>like I don't even know if this is the past
<v Speaker 2>five years, but the Slambulance, you know, yeah, it's been
<v Speaker 2>like the Neon entrance stage right.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, the fact we just got Piper's pit, I
<v Speaker 3>gotta go with like like those bone crunch of Hardy's
<v Speaker 3>though or something. I'm thinking like how big of a hearty,
<v Speaker 3>like how hot they were, Like we would have got
<v Speaker 3>those at that time.
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, yeah, I didn't take it that. I thought
<v Speaker 2>he was talking like current matel stuff, but yeah, it
<v Speaker 2>certainly could be.
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking like, like I love Ode of Hasbro and
<v Speaker 3>it's probably my favorite ever but my most played with,
<v Speaker 3>like where I was like in charge and with his
<v Speaker 3>bone crunchers for sure, And I'm thinking like if I
<v Speaker 3>could have got those brude looking hard.
<v Speaker 2>I would have freaked out. I wasn't. I wasn't thinking
<v Speaker 2>about it like that. It's a great that's a great answer.
<v Speaker 2>But if I'm I'm gonna stick to how I thought
<v Speaker 2>about it, where it's just Mattel like things like Caine,
<v Speaker 2>but it's like Undertager's Kane. I would have loved that,
<v Speaker 2>Like right, you didn't even like.
<v Speaker 3>Head swap stuff back of the day because they're all different,
<v Speaker 3>you know, or.
<v Speaker 2>Even this Austin where you you close your eyes, you
<v Speaker 2>popped the head and now he's bloody. You don't have
<v Speaker 2>to use your croola, you know what I'm saying.
<v Speaker 1>Well, brisky, they had the cane with the fire, so
<v Speaker 1>you didn't need to light your figure on fire.
<v Speaker 3>That saved yeah, save you a lot of trouble.
<v Speaker 1>Well, what I thought about instantly was the figure that
<v Speaker 1>I wanted for years and years and years, which was
<v Speaker 1>the the Hazro style nWo Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Right, so
<v Speaker 1>I took the Hazan.
<v Speaker 3>True and really feel it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you're thinking like that, then yeah, so many
<v Speaker 2>of those hasbros. So the retro companies, big rubber guys, Bendy's.
<v Speaker 3>Like every time I set it up to take like
<v Speaker 3>good picks and stuff, or like set up my kids
<v Speaker 3>the uh the backdrop like type stuff like yeah, oh
<v Speaker 3>my god, that would have I would freaking I would
<v Speaker 3>have yeah, extreme sets. I would have like I would
<v Speaker 3>have combusted to see something like that, you know in
<v Speaker 3>my life.
<v Speaker 4>Bro.
<v Speaker 2>So like there was a we're gonna shot him out
<v Speaker 2>right now. Someone posted this figure photography right and he
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about this A couple of weeks ago
<v Speaker 2>in the pod. So let me get his exact name
<v Speaker 2>for you. Okay, so uh so collectible underscore are there's
<v Speaker 2>a figure photography of me like beating up Kit Wilson. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I saw that he did something from something I did
<v Speaker 2>on my entrance, which I thought, like how nobody in
<v Speaker 2>w does I used to do this on houses all
<v Speaker 2>the time. But look at this, like go up on
<v Speaker 2>the thing and pose. Yeah, on those guardrails that like
<v Speaker 2>only remember we talk about this a couple weeks so
<v Speaker 2>like these aren't like real guardrails, like only like w
<v Speaker 2>of E style guardrails. I think FTC makes these. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>Like that's pretty cool. I love stuff like that.
<v Speaker 3>Set be back was the hardcame. I didn't think that
<v Speaker 3>was very professional about I know, But.
<v Speaker 2>The other way, it's like I also wanted I also
<v Speaker 2>wanted to show up the gear and I want to
<v Speaker 2>show the people. Yeah people. What's the next question?
<v Speaker 1>Uh my question from Dick Housen savee.
<v Speaker 2>Uh.
<v Speaker 1>If given the opportunity, would you buy the in your
<v Speaker 1>house house talk about a one on one item, I
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't buy it.
<v Speaker 3>No, No, there was a story that was what he's saying,
<v Speaker 3>but that would just be it's is like a random
<v Speaker 3>house in Phoenix, which which was it's in Orlando, bro,
<v Speaker 3>someone in Phoenix.
<v Speaker 2>I'm almost positives in Orlando. I could have swore someone
<v Speaker 2>just said they tried to rent it for the Tin
<v Speaker 2>Roof show.
<v Speaker 3>Really, I'm also thinking, like it's thirty years ago. There's
<v Speaker 3>got to be some kind of renovations to it, Like,
<v Speaker 3>it can't even be It's not like Todd Pettangill's living
<v Speaker 3>in the list. I know it can't even be like
<v Speaker 3>nostalgic at that point.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Okay, Wait? The WWF now ww gave away a
<v Speaker 1>real house during their first In Your House pay per
<v Speaker 1>view in May nineteen ninety five, a promotion where eleven
<v Speaker 1>year old Matt Pampaselli from Nevada won a new home
<v Speaker 1>in Orlando, Florida, which is camping right, which his family
<v Speaker 1>later sold for over one hundred and seventy five thousand
<v Speaker 1>to use for college. This giveaway promoted the new cheaper
<v Speaker 1>monthly pay per view series and involved sweepstakes with over
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and forty thousand entries, culminating in a live
<v Speaker 1>phone call to the winner during the broadcast. So it's
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in Orlando there was a story on it years
<v Speaker 1>later that it might have been made.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think, But anyway, there's no it's not whatever.
<v Speaker 1>God was just treated as a house.
<v Speaker 3>It's not like the house from Jersey Shore where you're like, oh,
<v Speaker 3>it will happened and I could live there too.
<v Speaker 2>I'll segue this. I do want W W. Mattel to
<v Speaker 2>make it in your house house entrance way, No doubt.
<v Speaker 3>That would be I think that could be easily an
<v Speaker 3>affordable meteal creation.
<v Speaker 2>Bro. I used to make those all the time, like
<v Speaker 2>out of like you know, like the boxes you would
<v Speaker 2>get for like clothing, like for like you know, Christmas,
<v Speaker 2>right I or like cut out the white box and
<v Speaker 2>it would already be able to stand because you use
<v Speaker 2>that little you know, yeah, in your house did not? All?
<v Speaker 1>Right? Brian's question Chris Wayne Master Wayne, you and matt
<v Speaker 1>made a name for yourselves by becoming edgehets which two
<v Speaker 1>wrestlers would you choose to do the same for you?
<v Speaker 1>And what would you name?
<v Speaker 2>That?
<v Speaker 1>Great question?
<v Speaker 3>Thought so too, man. Uh, I'm trying to think who
<v Speaker 3>who's like someone at tena that I love that's like
<v Speaker 3>young and does it have to look like you?
<v Speaker 1>No?
<v Speaker 3>I know, I don't think that's that's like impossible, right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well not for Matt. Matt.
<v Speaker 3>It's just I just think it would be like the
<v Speaker 3>two guys to be your edge heads. They don't have
<v Speaker 3>to look like you, but do the things that edgees did, Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>and try to mentor them and you know they'll be
<v Speaker 3>your doppling, you know, help you out.
<v Speaker 2>It's funny because I I actually pitched this in NWA
<v Speaker 2>as a way for me to win the NWA title
<v Speaker 2>is that VSK would be dressed as me under the ring,
<v Speaker 2>right blah blah blah, And then I kind of worked
<v Speaker 2>because it got VSK into NWA, but we never did
<v Speaker 2>that angle. In fact, like I win the NDWA title
<v Speaker 2>and VSK like makes his debut by just come out
<v Speaker 2>and celebrate it with me, Like oh.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I remember it got taken away or something.
<v Speaker 2>Right, it was never quite planned, like well we'll bring
<v Speaker 2>them in, but then like it never happened. The planet
<v Speaker 2>was the loose plan. It was never planned and then
<v Speaker 2>didn't happen. There's like he'd be like in my gear
<v Speaker 2>kind of and like he'd be the same exact thing, right,
<v Speaker 2>he'd be like my guy. And then they added that
<v Speaker 2>young upstart Mike Knox too, that's right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, family, But actually Vinnie is great because you guys
<v Speaker 1>both have you know well, at the time he had
<v Speaker 1>short hair, short hair and a beard. Yeah, white guy.
<v Speaker 2>And then I think like years later for TNA, I
<v Speaker 2>asked him if because he was like kind of grown
<v Speaker 2>his hair out, I asked him if he would cut
<v Speaker 2>his hair and he said no. I said, I'm not
<v Speaker 2>getting you booked, don because I wanted to reuse the angle.
<v Speaker 2>I never did it, and Vinnie if I were listening,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm if I if I'm misremembering this, I'm sorry,
<v Speaker 2>but I'll just doue.
<v Speaker 3>We'll have a rebuttal next week.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure. I feel like I was going to do
<v Speaker 2>it somewhere like MLW or or or TNA maybe maybe
<v Speaker 2>or maybe was GCW. I don't remember. I think I would.
<v Speaker 3>I would steal Jason Hotch from Mustafa Ali. Yeah, for sure,
<v Speaker 3>I think the world. And he's very talented. I don't
<v Speaker 3>know how young he is exactly, but he's going to be.
<v Speaker 2>Very very good. He already is very good and someone
<v Speaker 2>will wrestled lately. That's impressed me.
<v Speaker 3>As Myron Reid, who I think would be another great
<v Speaker 3>pick if there were two young guys that I would want,
<v Speaker 3>like you know, and you know, it's also bizarre.
<v Speaker 2>It was more Vinnie shout out.
<v Speaker 3>I had a similar thing with the learning tree in DNA,
<v Speaker 3>where Vinnie was my even though we're like the same age,
<v Speaker 3>he was my underlaying and he's much more talented than
<v Speaker 3>Zicki Dice, who was the other guy. So yeah, and
<v Speaker 3>then Sam Beale it was super fun. So it was
<v Speaker 3>very similar. It just never really got off the ground.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think I would almost do it
<v Speaker 2>like the opposite, where I would pick like two guys
<v Speaker 2>who were like almost like double heaters like a band
<v Speaker 2>Bishop and like right, yea, I really protect yourself. I
<v Speaker 2>mean Richard Holliday steals my stuff anyway, so it doesn't matter.
<v Speaker 2>It's like, I mean, keep yourself, keep your eye out
<v Speaker 2>on Richard Holliday. Would just watch me from six months ago,
<v Speaker 2>you know.
<v Speaker 1>Way off topic. Did you see this this interview that
<v Speaker 1>Richard Holiday and Ben Bishop did after the ACW Championship win.
<v Speaker 2>No, but I saw that this together and I think
<v Speaker 2>it's a great idea for both of them. I think
<v Speaker 2>they are the future of the business.
<v Speaker 1>Great idea but they got interviewed by an interviewer that
<v Speaker 1>was like six foot seven. So Richard Hollyway looks like
<v Speaker 1>he's five to two, and Ben Bishop is a normal guy,
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, what fire that guy was?
<v Speaker 3>Scott Mitchell, I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>They head to the Tom Phillips splits, Oh my god.
<v Speaker 1>Well I can't really pick this. I can't have stooges.
<v Speaker 1>But the two best guys, Tony, you're right, yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>think Alec Price and Ryan Clancy are are two of
<v Speaker 1>the the best guys coming up right now.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, guys, let's go to some good housekeeping.
<v Speaker 3>This is a long pod, bro, this is breaking records here, all.
<v Speaker 2>Right, YouTube dot Com slash at major w pod. We
<v Speaker 2>gotta work on some blogs.
<v Speaker 1>Brian's got a blog coming up.
<v Speaker 2>He shot one vlogged Ken Con.
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't that easy, but I did, uh, And then
<v Speaker 3>I also I did an in boxing with some ringside stuff.
<v Speaker 3>So there's a couple of things in the in the
<v Speaker 3>canon there.
<v Speaker 2>And I will say this, it's months away, but my
<v Speaker 2>toy room, I think Mark we need a hard I
<v Speaker 2>think go pro might have to come.
<v Speaker 3>I think I think you should like vlog putting it
<v Speaker 3>in bits and pieces like not like I'm in one day,
<v Speaker 3>just record when you record and.
<v Speaker 2>Be doing that.
<v Speaker 1>But if you want that, you can see that on
<v Speaker 1>our behind the scenes flop.
<v Speaker 2>But with what's Brian saying, would be a smart year,
<v Speaker 2>but it would just slow down my process too much.
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it right.
<v Speaker 1>It would just it's I think a tour at the end.
<v Speaker 2>Is obviously that's that's easy, and I think that I think.
<v Speaker 1>You could do it. But also if I just came
<v Speaker 1>down with my camera, I could do it.
<v Speaker 2>But I think I think GoPro being there would be
<v Speaker 2>great hardcam that if you had a hard camp, oh
<v Speaker 2>for the tour, but why so you can put your
<v Speaker 2>back to it and pose well. I have a big
<v Speaker 2>back Major Marks dot com, Patron dot com, Slash, Major
<v Speaker 2>w the family, the subscription service, the community. Every week
<v Speaker 2>we get away prize to to subscribers, a new and
<v Speaker 2>an old one.
<v Speaker 1>Who do we got first time in line Edward Kindler
<v Speaker 1>and classic superstar Ray Bryce.
<v Speaker 2>Let's go.
<v Speaker 1>We've got a lot of stuff coming up Patreon. It's great.
<v Speaker 1>It's the community. There's a lot of people in here
<v Speaker 1>watching this show live because they wanted to be here
<v Speaker 1>to hear.
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate you guys every single month, sorry, every single month.
<v Speaker 2>At the the the card. If you're in the hard foundation,
<v Speaker 2>up the two bonus pods. Should we put up the
<v Speaker 2>movie poll Mark for next week's bonus?
<v Speaker 1>Sure it was, it was very close. Uh who won shit?
<v Speaker 1>Keep talking about Patreon?
<v Speaker 2>Of all right, we're gonna do another bonus and then
<v Speaker 2>of course they have my ass Matt and anything. I'm
<v Speaker 2>doing it this month on all my indies what I
<v Speaker 2>did in the past five years, So ask me about that, Brian,
<v Speaker 2>Mark shoes have bruised with the toys. Of course, it's
<v Speaker 2>figured disseected with the freedom let him breathe myself overlies,
<v Speaker 2>Oh Baby, Heaths happy Hour, so much cool stuff on
<v Speaker 2>major Mars dot com. You get this podcast early in
<v Speaker 2>ed free, don't sit through commercials. And then of course
<v Speaker 2>if you're coming to the Hardy party, you get to
<v Speaker 2>cut the line. If you're an ultimate member.
<v Speaker 3>Which guys, I think for time purposes, we're gonna do
<v Speaker 3>doors early and might knock some stuff out early with
<v Speaker 3>the signing and photo ops.
<v Speaker 2>Brian, I'm gonna let you figure out the logistics on that.
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do it, and I think that's the best
<v Speaker 2>way to go, so.
<v Speaker 3>We shall.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, so that would be that would be especially
<v Speaker 2>for the Patreons.
<v Speaker 1>This is a heartbreaker for me here, but Mortal Kombat
<v Speaker 1>won narrowly over Super Mario Brothers. And it's just crazy
<v Speaker 1>to me because I just thought there was no way
<v Speaker 1>in how Mortal Kombat could beat Mario Brothers and Street
<v Speaker 1>Fighter but barely.
<v Speaker 3>Actually very surprised by us. I thought, yeah, I would
<v Speaker 3>have thought that would have been last.
<v Speaker 1>I usually whatever Matt picks people vote for, so sure,
<v Speaker 1>that's very true.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't pick Mortal Kombat.
<v Speaker 1>You didn't.
<v Speaker 2>I thought you picked. I picked Mario.
<v Speaker 1>Who picked Mortal Kombat?
<v Speaker 3>I think you did.
<v Speaker 2>I did not.
<v Speaker 1>I picked Street Fighter.
<v Speaker 3>I think I picked street Fighter.
<v Speaker 1>We don't even want Mortal Kombat.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm fine. I saw, like I said, I
<v Speaker 2>saw in the theater and I haven't watched.
<v Speaker 3>It a long time.
<v Speaker 2>We should do Mario cool g I Joe Figs. That
<v Speaker 2>happened years that I had the fans. The fans decided,
<v Speaker 2>and then maybe for the the other bonus, this is
<v Speaker 2>something we can watch like a like we can't do
<v Speaker 2>watch alongs.
<v Speaker 1>We can't do we can't do w t B watch
<v Speaker 1>alongs unless you talk to somebody, and I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>If I can do that. I get some get some things,
<v Speaker 2>waves bro. I was gonna suggest the Royal Rumble, but
<v Speaker 2>that's not gonna.
<v Speaker 1>Work, Brian said, Mortal Kombat apparently, So.
<v Speaker 2>We'll do We'll do Bortal Kombat next week and then
<v Speaker 2>the week after we'll do another bonus. Uh. If you
