Revisiting XWF 2001 Episode 3, The Last Lost Tape, Josh Mathews Debut, AJ Styles vs Kid Kash, Roddy Piper & Jimmy Snuka

The Boyson back. Welcome to the podcast, Episode number two hundred and twelve.
Yeah that's not true, James. Yeah, we are back again.
Here we're gonna be talking about x WF episode three. Wow, the final
episode. This is it. This is it for the end. This is
the it for the x u F. I didn't think it ever come to
an end, and I'm you know what, what I'm hoping for is that
this will be enough to reignite the flame of the x WF and have them
release the rest of the series. Joyce, they should be. They should
be a pay per view. They should I bet I would like at least
seventy six people would buy it. I think I think at the very least
they could get that number, right, I mean, they should shoot for
five hundred, but you know that's probably not gonna happen. But we're talking
good numbers here, You're right, which is realistic for a company of well,
I mean, if they get Whole Cogan, it's eighty oh that's like
jobs tick out like ninety d Okay, what did you think? Okay,
maybe this only works for like deadlock of Jason stuff, But what if Indie
took Whole Cogan and they just we have our segment of the night is what
will whole Cogan say? Right view. It's not like it's like a shoot
segment. Yeah, it's just all it is. You just tell them to
go out there. If you guys have to say Brother's say, you won't
even have to have him in attendance. If that was on an I pay
per view and it was taped, I bet that would be a sell.
I bet it one man. Yeah, if anyone wants to take that.
Yeah, Well, before we get into that, we have some deadlock updates.
We got we do all right. We got our due course, which
is great one. I was really excited about it. Yeah, I mean
it's a it's a cool match. We got the Goddamn Hat Club, a
bunch of tough, crazy bastard season of You two thousand and five, which
is a great year for CZW and a great year for me because that's when
I got into CZW. So all great all around, and that's the episode.
I don't think so. I think I only just remembered it now,
all right, Yeah, I don't think you drop that didn't for no.
Yeah five two in our Patreon go check it out. It's awesome. We
also run our own wrestling company. What that gets five pay per view buys
in the hundreds every month. You can believe it, thank God, and
we're hover. That trend continues here as the Carolina Classic is going up on
DPW on demand dot Com on Saturday. Yes, a one night eight man
tournament to determine the next challenger, mandatory challenger, the DPW World Championship.

We thank you for the clause. Back to normal. I got the

po wins on the poles. You're right, Well, here we go for
about a Q and A. If you're a five hour or above tier member
on our Patreon Patreon dot com slash dead like PW which is amazing number one.
Actually it's wrestling Patreon you can get. It'll ruin all the other patrons
for you. So sign up for one month and find out what the fuck
is happening over here. First question here from somebody whose name I'm not going
to read. Have you ever had a don't meet your heroes moment with a
wrestler? Hmm yeah, like all of them, I'm waiting for the moment
opposite of this. Yeah, we're in the wrestling business, and I'll tell
you right now, brother, I ain't trying to talk in their wrestling.
It was like, dude, no, what whatever it has to do with
wrestling or we're in the wrestling world. I don't want to talk to him.
I'll gonna talk to you at the waffle house about Halo or hell yeah
the show. Yeah yeah, But if when it comes to at the actual
wrestling business, I want nothing to anybody. I'll be honestly now, outside
of DPW, have you ever met a wrestler that you were like, man,
fuck this guy? Oh? I mean the only one I can think
of was the one where you met Alex Riley with w oh yeah, I
mean that story I've told her like a hundred times, Town again, Town
again. Well, like we were at the two K fourteen. I don't
remember. It's probably two K four wasn't two K fifteen day that much.
This wasn't fourteen because I wasn't there at fourteen. I was probably fourteen.
It was like Summer Slam or something, and me and Tubby were hanging out
outside. I mean, not being there is why this happened. Yeah,
you're right, because I remember we did like a breakfast thing and the Ultimate
Warrior was there, and Tubby really wouldn't meet the Warrior. I'm like,
I don't remember that part. Did you meet the Warrior? No? I
didn't meet the one. I didn't meet the fuck I got a picture with
him. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I said, sorry, brother,
I really do that another week. So anyways, me and Tubby where
outside at Summer Slam or whatever. This is the same one I've talked about
four Tony where I was wearing the Bobby Root shirt and they made me see
Okay, yeah I heard that bout. But anyways, yeah, so Tubby
saw Alex Ronney Riley and he looked at me and he goes, dude,
we can get in the line right now. We can go meet Alex Riley.
I'm like, you know, having a Bobby Rood shirt. I I
don't even watch at this point, you know what i mean. I'm like
not watching it at all. Like I'm watching ROH and fucking TNA and whatever,
fucking Rocket at the time, fucking you stream New Japan whatever. I
just played the games, you know what I mean. So, like,
you know, first of I don't even really know what who the fuck Alex
Riley is Alex, Like Alex, have no idea what's going on with this
dude? And Tubby wanted to meet him, and I was like, Okay,
we'll fucking go meet him. So like I walked with Tubby over there
and like I'm sitting here looking at this dude, and I'm like, like,
when you meet a wrestler, like do you ask him a question or
something? And I was like, that's what is they're probably expecting, right,
Like I imagine there's it's a line to literally get signatures right from the
I mentioned somebody has something to say usually and they're probably ready for all questions
and then you move on. Yeah, well I didn't have anything to sign
so he's like, you got anything for me to sign like not, I
don't don't started yeah, like yeah, what the fuck is going on here?
I was like, yeah, I don't have anything of your side.
And I was like, yeah, man, like you're doing well. You're
in WB right. He's like yeah, man, right, doing well for
yourself. Oh. It was like, yeah, I don't working for you.
I was like yeah, it's just like looking away from me. I
was like, all right, man, I hear you. So I just
kind of walked away. I was like, damn, that guy kind of
sucked. I was like, damn, I don't know why that was so
rude. I like I was trying. I don't you know, I don't
have anything to say to the dude. So like I was trying to make
casual conversation. I'm like, you're doing prett well for yourself, right,
Yeah? Is not into that ship at all. So I said, all
right, dude, he because he knew you weren't a fucking real true Alex
Riley fan. Man, he wasn't fucking with you like that. No,
no, sorry man. Did you watch Tubby meet him? Yeah? I
did. He was in front of me. Was Tubby? What did Tubby
say to him? I don't know. I wasn't listening this whole thing,
like yeah, like legit. I was just like, I like, I
didn't, you know, not to be rude Alex Riley or anything. So
I felt like I was pretty nice to him. Yeah. I didn't really
know him or anything, but that's usually what I would say to somebody.
So you're doing pretty well, look at you did. He probably saw your
videos and you probably played against him in fucking universe mode and called him a
bitch. Yeah, you're probably right, Tony. Did you you have any
meet your heroes wrestling? You do? It's a sad one. When I
met Sean Michael wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, this is
meet your heroes? Yes, why the fuck did you what? He holy?
That's crazy. I don't I got fucked this question for all, right,
Tony, you go ahead, saw Michael? Wait you met Shawn Michaels.
Yeah. So the arena that had shows, like the shows or whatever,
was connected to a hotel next door or like right across the street,
So we would always just go over to the hotel after, you know,
some sea wrestlers at the bar or whatever. Rick Flair's always built it up
at the bar every time, and that was pretty wrestler coming in every time,
Tony, Yeah, every time, all the time. And he didn't
pay for it either. Probably nine am. He's in the barm in the
bar. Nine am. It's crazy, like we legit were like on the
way to like the two K thing, and I saw we saw Rick Flair
like at the bar. That is insane. That was crazy. But so
then we went over there after the show and wrestlers are coming in, you
know. Jerry Lawler came through and we go on, whatever, this is
what he would do, you're right, and Sean Michaels comes in. He's
like pissed off. I don't know what it was going on. This was
and when he made like a comeback. You know what year was that when
he came back two thousands, when everybody was on his return to her like
yeah that stuff, he was like fucking three three or four or something like
that. So that's when I had to beat no. Maybe I want his
right because he's in the chamber and that's so two yeah. Whenever it was
anyway he was back, it was a return to Michaels. I thought I'd
be a little nicer, you know, he's he's sure he's a little cool
in there, but no, he was not. A girl started screaming because
he was so excited he shot Michaels. He was like, if you don't
shut the fuck up, I'm going inside right now. And he was so
mad. He was screaming so loud. I swear that he was so greasy.
Shut the he's He's like, I'm going inside right now, and I
was like, oh, you should shot Michaels. I was looking for the
photo of me with Shanan Michaels. I had a photo with it because I
took my God was like the worst. I was unhappy, he was unhappy.
It was like the lift show. I've ever took him. It looks
like a mug shot of me, like I just got caught for a crime.
I cannot find them. I think I deleted it because such an embarrassing
photo. That dude. It was the worst like experience ever, Like I
don't know, I guess I get a photo with you or whatever. Like
Jerry Lawler was like funny and you know, just talking and oh yeahm or
something right, who did do you remember I'm getting a fight with him some
other guys. I was gonna say, you better told me to all these
Yeah, what the fuck? First of all, these are my heroes that
tell your story? I did me, Kevin Nash, just Scot Hall.
That was awesome. Scot whole video is the best. You got to figure
you got the autograph for footing with like, yeah, it was like one
hundred dollars autograph too, and you just got it for free. Yeah that
was awesome. And they walked away. Yeah, well I know. I
said to them, I said, you signed it, like you want me
to pay for it? And they're like, no, I mean you're good.
No, no, no you if I find video somewhere you hear me
in the bacco just walk just walk He didn't ask you to pay, just
walk away. But I'm pretty sure I asked. Now, I don't know
you said walk away, but I'm pretty sure I asked. I said,
you know, you said, this is the worst meeting my hero experience ever.
I'm out of here. Super nice interaction. They signed it. I
said, thank you. Yeah, that was the worst I ever met in
my life. I xbo ever again. He said it to Kevin Nash and
Scott All. This is the worst meet my heroes moment ever. So that
was probably the best experience ever. That was awesome, know it was.
It was fucking really cool. Yeah, they were awesome. Dude. My
favorite like story of somebody meeting somebody is when Small's met That was awesome.
He said, I'm doing a quick interview with you. He used to start
doing the interview. He said, you don't work for the w W E
do you? You're a BRONI I said, you're a bro bro. That
was awesome. Yeh damn legendary b Smalls played off, well, he's a
charismatic guy. It was good that too. Yeah, there is if he
didn't delete it, but yeah, he might delete it, but I was
Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely most interested in James is heres he met
his hero Alex Riley, and then Tuby probably has like the better part of
that story. I'm sure he remembers it way more than me. Yeah,
I remember it being like a very whatever, you know what I mean,
Like, yeah, but Tubby probably remember something crazy like it was probably like
wait, it was probably version of its probably nothing. Yeah, I can
imagine how it is in his head, like it's probably a screaming fight or
something with Alex Riley. So I'm excited to uh the unbearable weight of a
massive cock, asks how long did it take James to find out his cat
is named after the Mexican slang for titties. Oh and bala, Yeah,
one of those, which one of the Mexican slag for titties. Yeah,
we like boobs around here, which I don't even know. I guess,
right, Okay, that's awesome. Well, yeah we like boobs, right,
don't fuck you on, Corey on Dick for real? Corey Michael asked,
fuck Mary, kill smack dun versus are all twenty eleven, w B
two K twenty and w B two K fifteen. That's a tough one for
me because I love two K twenty. I'd marry eleven all day. Yeah,
i'd I'd marry eleven. I'd kill fifteen is what I'm killing. I
killed twenty. I don't really remember anything from it. Oh the uh,
the the showcase pissed me the fuck off? Crazy? Oh you did not
like yeah, like threw my control across the room and broke that ship.
Yeah. I didn't play that showcase, So maybe that's why I liked twenty.
No, yeah, I was pissed so like, yeah, that shit,
I'd kill that for sure. I think fifteen sucked ass and had nothing
to do, but it wasn't like you know whatever. And sure people that
keep saying bring back the lock up system, y'all, don't play the game
like that. You're telling me five hundred and fifty matches in a year in
you still want to lock up to get every mess. Come on, man,
let's come on a Twitter video. Let's go on to Twitter video.
Don't look playing side note to that, James, if you are fucking asking
for the intro videos for Universe, fuck you two man brot y'all just say
it's shit now me. Yeah, you're just looking for some bullshit play my
faction you like it? Yeah, come on now. I think I'm marrying
SVR twenty eleven. I'm fucking two K twenty and I'm killing two K fifteen
because twenty was great for me. I had a great time having every horrible
thing possible happen in two K twenty. It was a great rendezvous for me.
I will be fucking two K twenty all the time. That's where A
twenty eleven was just fun as hell. I like twenty twenty eleven was awesome.
Why is that even in the running just because what man, good one,
medium, one bad one, so like yeah maybe yeah, that's kind
of the idea. And two K fifteen, as j said, just boring,
just boring, look boring, not even bad, just boring. Yeah,
just nothing nothing to write home about. No, no saturation in the
game. Man, it was always everything looks flat. Yeah yeah, no,
Min's the same as you, Johnny, I, yeah, exactly,
exact crazy all right, Well James loses another one, all right, of
course. Yeah, well why don't we bring it Alex Darlie and ask him.
You can ask him and we'll see what he has is a lot he's
probably a lot nicer now that he's been away from the wrestling business. What
did he He did a glow? Was that the show he was on?
Yeah? Yeah, he was in with the jacket. Yeah he was like
run, didn't he? Oh oh yeah, we're eight ship on the floor.
Remember that he like jumped over the rope and eight ship you know what?
He fucking tried it though, man, Yeah, I mean I give
it to you man. Antonio Sutler Junior asked question for James. You're very
popular today, James, Uh, what are three TENA wrestlers that you believe
should have won the TENA world title. For me, I think a jay
Lee Looker's Daniels and Nonije McGinnis. That was his three Jay Lethal who Nijel
McGinnis and Nijel mcginnison and Daniels Daniels is a pretty good I think that's probably
Daniel definitely. Yeah. Yeah, Wow, that's a lot. I know
there's a lot of people. I mean, we've talked about we were Alec
Shelley was one of ours until he won it. So he's won it.
Saban won it. Saban won it, you know what man by by a
lot of people stuck around in TNA and then eventually won it. Yeah yeah,
yea, you know they eventually they eventually want it. But I'll throw
some names that you maybe you'll tell me I think they deserved it or not.
Stander didn't win a titty. No, I would have him just for
the just there's good, especially when he was he was working for a minute
too, man, he would busting out the Frankenstein for a minute. What
about Matt Morgan, He's got to be one of the worst wrestlers of all
time. I'm just keep man, I apologize. Uh, he's gotta be
ever so he I mean, you're you're not wrong. Let's see who well?
I mean, yeah, what about Monty Brown, Come on, actor
Garza. I don't know, it would have been a good you know,
a tag Maybe he would have been a good made a vent talent for glory.
Her name does shocking only. I don't think I got the belt after
despite them. They kept trying. God, they kept trying. Man,
Wow, they kept trying a lot. Yeah, I don't know. I
mean, like, I don't think Jay Lethal was ever any position to win
the world title in TNA. No, I probably wouldn't say him Desmond Wolf,
I'll be honest with you, man, Like, what a step down
from Nigel McGinnis. That was the whole, the whole presentation and everything.
Just they gave up so quickly on that guy. Huh, how how easy
was that give? It was such an easy like just take his ass and
put him on TV ass character, big puffy jacket, spiked fucking hair,
iron given, hard hitting like Larry at guy, Like, how easy is
that? Just put they made a three Wolf Walmart shirt. He has everyone
else? She was she was, she was awesome, She was pretty sweet.
What about Chris Harris, that's my guy. There was probably there was
probably like an eight month period. We're like, yeah, I think so,
yeah, but it passed pretty quickly. You're right, but I'm gonna
hold out hope. Yeah, that's when when when when he was on super
Gass with a white jacket, super gas fucking like yeah, three percent body
fat. Yeah, that's fucking gnarly, right, Yeah, that's my three
Chris Harris, Matt Morgan and her neck. So it doesn't count. Yeah,
I don't know. I think Johnny wins again. James Luis, Yeah,
this is awesome. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, man.
That's like I said, most of the guys that I would have said,
Daniels is a good one. I think Daniels Daniel. Yeah, But
a lot of the guys that stuck around did end up winning, like Saban
Shelley. You know, if you want to say it's the TNA title,
it was Shelley, you know whatever. But Saban did win the TENA title,
right, Yeah, and he had a fun run. I like that
gas lighting. Saban was a good dude. That was a fun fucking run.
But yeah, I'd have to think a little bit harder about it.
Buddy, but good ones. Yeah, I'll give it to Johnny for now.
Thank you so much. I mean as as you should. I mean,
you're you're really stretched a lot of shots stretching. Could go to the
next question on that, Tony, if you wanted to put any more about
how I did really good this week. I think that was awesome. Great,
great call. I appreciate you very much. Awesome call. Brady Hoffman
asked, now that Shampunk is fired from AW do you think it was handled
well? And if a similar situation happened at DPW, how would you go
about Handbill get that's a great fuss a lot. I couldn't even there's no
like, there's no world where that happens. Like, yeah, yeah,
there's no world where that even happens. Ye, but if it did,
I mean there's no there's I don't even know if there is. But okay,
all right, Let's say in the impossibility that for some reason we keep
a guy around that is a bitch for a once a month. INDI that
we feel like but it is such a big draw that we have the amount
of money he's bringing in out raise the pain in the ass that he is.
Well, I assume it's rates like astro, like, yeah, I
don't know, but he's gonna make a lot of money. You're gonna sell
you. Yeah, so he's so we're at our biggest show ever, and
he's what the dog doing? You know, he takes a shot, swings
a tony. What we do? Because I came in and knocked out his
dog's teeth or something and then he got mad. Okay, hypothetical because it's
what the dog doing. It's DPW what the dog doing? Dog was there,
and I would I would record it vertically for social media. Okay,
yeah, I would probably just tweet. I would probably just tweet all cats.
You put a TikTok it's from the DFW account. Seunk just looped everybody's
hands. Well, that's discipline. You're tweeting it out. The relationship between
guys that aren't like under contracted guys that are is like completely different. But
yeah, that would be very funny. If Seampunk came into DVW start kicking
anybody's ass, I'd definitely be tweeting that's fucking crazy. Yeah, we gotta
give this a shot. We need to find a draw that's worth doing that
with. Yeah, if you, if you are a draw like that and
you can kick ass. Please. Last nine man, we shoulde Jeff Jared.
I bet he'd fucking do that for us. Jared would be a draw
here too, and he beat up a bunch of We have a question here
from Dan Reichert. He says, have you guys seen him a grouper Man?
Fuck you, dude, I saw when it came out. Bro I
fucking regret giving this fucking dude my address because he said he was gonna send
me giant bombshit and said he sent me five copies from m Grooper. I
got a goddamn copy of the Grouper Man's right now, that's right, it's
wrong with this. You should bring him in and let him start beating people
up in the back. He used to be a manager, dirty Dan.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So bring him in and we'll see if
you can fight. That's actually how you get into DPW. Now, if
you can't fight, don't even ask. If you can't beat up the promoters,
you can't make it here. And there's three messes hassands for real.
Last question here from Larry possibility of a Philadelphia DPW show. Well, Larry,
it's fucking hard to run in Philadelphia. Sadly, from what I understand
as well, the e c Arena for many a weekend next year is already
locked down for that whole time, so that's not happening. And you gotta
have like a like you got to have a license to run there, like
a promoters license, and like you gotta get it that year. So if
we wanted to run next year in Philly, we couldn't get a license until
January to be able to run in twenty twenty four. So it's a very
short window to get anything. And there's not a lot of venues in Philly
for wrestling right now, which is crazy to think of because it's fucking Philadelphia.
But like I imagine most people many a weekend are going to be running
Jersey probably H two O or you know, Jersey's good for us. Jersey
is a good time for us. Is amazing for us. Yeah, yeah,
I imagine next year we're probably looking at Texas in Chicago. Yeah,
sure, we feel I would. I mean, running the twenty three hundred
is like a big d all of us. Yeah, it's a drink,
you know. If we run the twenty three hundred I don't just want to
run the twenty three hundred. I want to sell I want yeah, I
want Paul Hayman to come in and say, this is the new Deadlocker.
This isn't WCW. It could be, though it's definitely been talked about a
lot, if that gives you any hope, But you know, it's gotta
be. It's gotta be the right time. Maybe a weekend next year probably
is not the right time because everyone's gonna be coming guns of blazing for that
anyway. So unless someone wants to let us use the promoter license and just
let us do our show. If somebody's a dipper wants to fucking help that
shit out, we are. We're always looking for some goddamn help out of
here. We'll bring him Bob Sapp. Oh no, we won't. It
would be awesome. We did Chuckelo. Yeah, that's true, du dude.
We'll introduce the super title at that They don't want us to introduce a
superfrise. It might be the thing. It might they might need it for
the world changes. At that point, that is it for the Q and
A this week, and now it's time to talk about the x WF all
right, now it's time to get into x WF the final episode. Question
Mark, who knows this might be what they needed to put out the rest
of the series. James, Yeah, I mean this was really going to
make a lot of money for him and for Yeah. Indeed, of course
we usually go over some observer stuff, but I'm gonna go over it at
the end of the review because it's mostly about really the end days for the
x WF. So we'll let's talk about the show cast observers. Is that
news I was going to try it out this week at the end of the
show. Okay, well that's a good idea. Okay, thank you,
thank you. Well. Brian Knobbs is here. Fuck see Jimmy Hardy's laughed
or something. Well that is so okay. So his explanation here is that
Jimmy hart couldn't make it because he's out scouting for new talent for what buddy
for two? It's coming back brother. This DVD came out four years after
What the fuck is he scouting talent for scouting? He's scouting. He's always
he's always scouting. That's my excuse to not fucking hang out. Brian Nobbs
too, I'm out scouting talent. Well, Brian Nobbs gives us the rundown
for this episode for some reason. Well I don't know why. We had
to be convinced. We bought the DVD. We're just number three. Let
me tell you this. Out there, we get the x w F intro
here that showcases all the stars. It pretty much gives the whole show.
The intro shows the show that's about to happen. The fuck is wrong with
you guys? The only thing that I'm unsure about and I thought we would
see during this and maybe you can't remind me when was the kiss demon on
this show? Oh? Was he? I don't think he was. He's
in the fucking intro. It might have been all like one of the unreleased
joints, because there's all yeah. Well. That's also something we'll talk about
at the end, is that how many of these did not show the cage
match has results? For? Yeah, they did? How shows it a
little run? Right? And when Puerto Rico did something there was a big
Puerto Rico versus x WF angle, Yeah, probably booked by dutch Man tell
he loved doing that. Shi. So it shows a video of what happened
last time at XWF, which we recommend you listen to our podcast episode on
it because you wouldn't be able to see it. Anyways, everything is covered
in fucking fire, dude. The first thing that show is Sable talking and
she is engulfed in fight. See anything's wrong with this fucking thing? Man?
Yeah, it's a Sable asking Roddy Piper if he still wants to wrestle
Vampiro, thanking Sable for believing in them, and then Kurn Hennig cheating to
win, and Piper threatening with a chair. What Tony Shiavanni and Jerry Lawler
are here with the bombastic Kitten? Is that who that is? That's what
it said. It was not en This is a kiddie. This is kitten.
Due to run down the card that Brian Nobbs also ran down earlier.
I have been run down twice. I've seen intro that everything is going to
happen. I don't know how much as you can show you here to be
honest with you, and then there's an in between where he's gonna tell you
more later. Oh he does shut up. Oh. By the way,
I was looking at kiss Demon right and I found this x WF Kiss Demon
guitar pick. You could buy what Gene Simmons first promotional guitar pick for the
x WF Wrestling. This is definitely not Gene Simmons. It's this is mine.
I want to buy it right now on hair. Here we go,
buy it now? Oh, there we go. History is this is the
first time ever happened on the pod that a purchase from eBay is being made
confirmed purchase. Here we go fourteen dollars worth, every goddamn penny to retain
the history of the x WF. And there it is. Please refresh the
confirm I don't know how they Oh you got the Gene Simmons, it's out
of stock. I can't believe Simmons guitar promotional pick from a hit and relic
on eBay that we just sniped. Boys, it's a It came so fast
and that's gone well. Me and Jean introduces Rena and she's with the shield.
Dude, Okay, I didn't. Later on, Brian Knob says who
these three guys are? And I still don't know if I believe he is.
He's lie? Should we talk about that? Hear what he talks about
we'll talking about I just remember that the shield came out here. Three dude,
huge guys, and we'll talk about a little bit late. Everyone behind
the commentators, by the way, are all wearing x WF shirts, and
oddly enough, you can also see that they all have shirts underneath this.
It's very weird. That is weird. You think it was just very cold
in the arena, That's what I was thinking. It was November. Yeah,
that's true. So we have the arena town hall where she comes out
and she talks to mean Gene Okerland about Roddy Piper. She's looking fantastic,
by the way, dude. Yeah, I mean we've talked about a little
bit before on this, but when she like came back to the WWF somehow
hotter, somehow hotter than before. Yeah, unbelieving. It doesn't make any
sense. That's what they tuned in this. If it's wow it chick Marrow,
I'm not sure. So me and Geen asked her about the Roddy Piper
stuff ab he's been doing. I just want to remind everybody this is episode
three. We already have disgruntled upper office here. I don't know exactly.
Episode two ended with like a big samoil at the end. Right, you're
already yelling at Roddy Piper. Yes, yeah, Well she says she's not
gonna air the dirty laundry or the x WF dirty laundry. I think that
says it all. I mean, Jeans, it's been two fucking weeks.
Is there any dirty laundres called on here? Maybe? Uh, maybe they
have something going on in the back that they were going to like go forward
with in the next couple of weeks. Where do you guys think this was
leading to? It was definitely it was just like I imagine, it's just
power struggle between Piper and Sable, right, I think it's sitting the Piper
wrestling again in another match, a Team Piper against Team Sable for all control
of the x W can't happen every place that runs in the Universal Studios or
some fucking sound stage like this cannot fucking do a power struggle thing. You
did that for twenty years. Well, James, if I was Sable,
I think my team would be the Millionaires Club and then the new Blood or
maybe flip flop those Sable like the New Talents, maybe the new Blood and
the Millionairess Elite you think maybe the new blood. I think you're onto something
there. Actually, Rena says she doesn't make the matches. I don't understand.
What what do you what do you say you do here Arena? Yeah,
it's Piper's job to make the matches. She's just the CEO and the
president at the same he's the owner and runs the show and all that,
but she's not the match maker. What are you doing here? I come
out here every week and I tell you how much that I fucking hate this
place. Well, Hacksaw Jim Douggan is here. Oh that's good. Yeah,
before the Hacksaw, they don't even they said there's no main event tonight.
There's no money. Oh dude, okay, yeah, so Sable says,
it means she asked about the main event. She says, he says,
do we have a main event? And someone else know from the crowd,
and he was fucking right. Stable says it's not my place to make
the matches and then starts rubbing Mean Jean's arms. For some reason, the
crowd goes, oh, fucker, they have a show made, event booked
at all. They don't know what's happen in waiting for Piper to make the
mad Stable says, because of the emails and the phone calls that have been
flooding the x WF office this episode three, it's apparent what the fans want
to see. She doesn't know what it is, though, so she's gonna
go ask Roddy Piper what it is. She checking or answering any of these.
She sees that they're coming in, all of them. Yeah, I
mean mean. Jean asked, can we tag along? And she says sure
and they both leave together. Anyway, Jim duggets here. Oh x WF,
no pretty Donna's allowed. Oh well, the x w secret in wrestling,
dude, Dude, I can't believe they have more new Hogan ones.
The one later is my favorite one of all of them. I love how
it's I saw Jim Duggan saying no Prima Donna's allowed, and it nearly cuts
the whole Cogan the best camp secret of pro wrestled, dude, because no
one's gonna see him. Brother. Well, next time we have Marty Jeannetti
versus Dresden. I've been hearing a lot about this Dresden from Germany. Please
remember that he's from Germany. God damn, please remember that. So the
South Philly posse is here. Who he is? This is the public enemy
Rock Jasmine Pooky. I don't know her names. They called her something in
this episode, Jasmine Saint Clare, come on, legend in the business.
Bro she's done like crazy gang bang. Yeah, but what did they call
her it was? It wasn't Jasmine Saint Clair. It was Oh, I
think it was just Jasmine, wasn't it. I swear it was something else?
But it was jazzy is what it was? He Jazzy Pooky. More.
Someone's got to come in, I'll tell you that. But someone has
come in coming to locker, would beat everybody up everyone else. Yeah,
Man, South Philly pozzis here. We'll talk about them a little bit later.
They have a match and it's sadly, sadly we will be talking about
the first we had to get into good matches, right, Well, that's
true. They pretty much don't say shit here. They say Orlando, Florida
reminds them of Philadelphia, which is fucking insane to Zep. By the way,
I don't know what the fun he's talking Rock a Rock is. He
walks up to Johnny Grunge, who is standing in front of Jasmine and Rock
a Rock says hey, where's Jasmine, and Jasmine takes one step forward and
says, I'm right here, and then she says, of course you're having
a good time here, Rocco. Because Universal Studios is now the official home
of the x WF and as long as the SPP is here, which is
South Philly Pozzy, this program is going to be rated X. And then
they all take a turn staying a letter x w L. That's try a
right, welcome to the party's So we have Marty Jannetti versus Dresden. Marty
Janette coming out to my last resort, cover the sunglasses on. Hell yeah,
that's a that's a skill man. He was great at it. Man.
I wish he would have just stayed in wrestling to do that instead of
doing all this bull chair. So Dresden is here. Dresden is a very
tall, very gass individual blonde his gimmick. He is not a Nazi.
D he is not a Nazi. I no, no way, he's a
Nazi. He's a big blonde german with an iron cross. He's just a
big german, right right. He likes jocolate. Awesome, that's a great
gimmick. Actually, Dresden, by the way, is the capital city of
Germany. Oh they replaced the S with a Z. Well that's pretty fucking
cool. He is not a Nazi man. Well, no way, he's
big blonde German across Its fucking good. Yeah, that's the Hires brothers as
the same. Yeah, don't don't ask him to look at the tattoos.
That's so. Dresden here has all the best moves. Of course, name
name all five of them if you can figure out. Sorry, I only
got one written down here. Body Slam. I think body slam, and
I actually run out to body sam power Bong tony. That's all you need.
That is all you got. There's one fan in the crowd during or
after Dresden's entrance that says you ain't nothing, and then it cuts away from
him and you can hear him yell you ain't ship us. Somehow Dresden does
not get the Usah, he's the big heel German guy. Not but somebody
later it gets because dude, you're right that he has a chance. Crazy
now, But Dresden makes quick work of Marty Gannetti. Here, come on,
man, Marty Genetti looking just like rick Mark Telford stories. I don't
understand why he did this to Marty Gennetti who hit him with a patented two
Superkicks in a row and it did nothing. That's what he always did,
the two Superkikes, no selling two superkick cut off, get fucked backed driver
by Dresden. You're flying nothing into bar hug By Dresden and then loads him
up for the power bomb. Of course you have, I mean you have
to like really hand it to the egg wf. Here they found the juiciest,
biggest white dude they could find. I mean literally the biggest jeans they
could find. They like walked in to like an Arnold or something and was
like, all right, these are the guys were using. Who is dripping
juice that we could and Ian Harrison Dresden, somehow dressed is better than Ian
Harrison. That's the British Storm. Well he is a main event guy in
Dresden's just a little shitty opening acts. Dude. I get out of waited
to talk about Ian Harrison the British Storm. There's another big guy that I
can't wait to talk about, the Jimmy Hart's friends with here and his name
is Crazy. His name is it could be anything. So Dresden beats Marty
Gannetti with a power bomb, picking up the big doub you heading towards the
main event scene at speed, Who do you think because obviously it's the end
here and I guess maybe we can see later what who else he ends up
working? But who was Dresden being built up for? You think all these
big dudes were being built up to lose the Hogan? Right, that's just
the old school way they did it. Just build dudes up to get me
by Hogan. Yeah, absolutely, yeah sure, and it was like that.
It worked. So we got backstage. Greg the Hammer Valentine otherwise known
as the Triple Age min Faction carries it looks just like, goes to Roddy
Piper's locker room door and start screaming that he's not on the show tonight.
I'm not booked. I'm not booked Piper's I know you're in there. I
don't see my name on the fucking board. I'm not booked. Said you
said the XNBF was for everybody. Well, I'm Greg to Hammer Valentine,
and I prove that I've done it a lot in this business, a lot.
I thought everybody, everyone except you, brother. Not you will probably
not me either, dude, but we will have to see about that one.
Brother. It was in Nogan's contract that he didn't sign that they couldn't
book Greg. So Greg Valentine's gimmick for three episodes was I'm not on this
fucking show. He was a bitch. They fucking punk Greg Valentine out for
three weeks and then killed the company because because he's Brian Knobb's brother in law.
Oh, of course, can't push the brother in law. Of course.
Well, Piper is not in the locker room that Greg Valentine is yelling
towards Piper's behind him, listening to him and the pats I'm on the back,
and then walks by him and goes in the locker room. And that's
to check all the emails and calls they're constantly coming in talking about Dresden.
Well, boys, we get another banger here tonight. We get U versus
Josh Matthews. A match that I genuinely could say with all of my heart
that I have never ever predicted what happened. This is a legit, once
in a lifetime matchup. Man. First, if this was our first time
ever graphic on Twitter. I want to retweet it, and I'll tell you
that this has only happened here. This has never happened in fucking any sim
booking game. This has never happened mode, No never. This is this
is the line for them to be in the same promotion at the same car
and it happened, and it happened. This is it right here, man,
Josh Matthews looks like a CNW from SVR one as a yarder pretty much.
Yeah, blue long sleeves, soaking wet, and necklace, silver and
blue flame high spots tights. Horace has pants to say, Horace on him,
that's right. And this match is, uh, this is great,
so awesome match. I mean the history of Actually, if you remember this
Josh Matthews is he was on tough and off, He had every trainer in
the world, he had triple hs shitting a brick down their regularly anglela.
It all led him here too, Horse Hogan and the x WF where Horace
with horse pants kicks his fucking egg. The first thing that Josh gets hit
with is a Horace Hogan eggs bomber. You're that's it, bro, Welcome
to your fan motherfucker. That's real, dude. On commentary, they say
that Horace Hogan's why he's in the x WF is because he wants to re
establish the Hogan name. I think Horace Hogan should come back in twenty twenty
three and re established the Hogan name, to re established the Horace name.
Brother, we're done with the Hogan name. Your own name, caps Horace.
I would fucking that be sick. Bro. Horace coming in with the
heat, why not his name on it? He thinks, I think,
dude, look at this guy. Yeah, I wonder where he looks like
nowadays. Oh, look at this picture? I found this? Is it
right here? No, no fucking way, mister Usa. Wow he has
the ballet classic. God, where did you find this? I just said
Horse Hogan today? I just google it. So Horse Hogan always find his
death talk. Horris Hogan versus Josh Matthews one tea in his last name,
first time ever was in a lifetime ever again? Yeah, Horse kicks his
ass. Josh gets a sunset flip, tries to go for a pin.
Horace falls like three times. Yeah, he picks him up and sends him
straight to fucking hell. I've never this is like Farouke style, if Faruke
really hated you, which I'm sure Horace Hogan did hate Josh Matthews because he
knew you had to put him over tonight. Well, he felt like three
times he said we have to look brother, you learn real quick about this
business three times and blames it and Josh Matthews actually ends up rolling him up
and winning the match he does. Yeah, dude, he gets an inside
cradle. Josh wins. He kills the Hogan name forever. Well, you
know, man, I would say that the crowd went crazy for this,
but to be completely honesty, the crowd was at peak volume the entire show.
They never were down this fucking company. Ja. They were never down.
They were legit at peak like yeah, it was like lock up,
yeah dude. I mean every Josh would do a double axe handle and they
it would be like Hogan just slammed Andre. It was unbelievable, Like I
legit, I could not tell you one thing Tony Shnnie or Jerry Lawler still
on this show. It was because the crowd was so it was just there
for the show. Baby is. The x w F fights were in full
fucking force here, Bro. There was even a sign in the crowd that
was ready for Josh to lose, and they showed it, and then they
quickly cut away from it. He said, Josh was robbed. H So
Jimmy hard is here and he's gonna tell you a list of people he's managed
that are way better than this guy is currently standing behind him. Do you
know what he said at the beginning here? Because he said it's so fucking
fast, I couldn't figure out what it actually was. I wrote. He
said, here's the smartest man in professional wrestling. I'll leave you, bro.
I don't know what hens right. That sounds about right? He said,
You know, I matta supersize whole cog Daddy, Randy Savage, jerk,
you talking man, the Brugio Brothers. All right, man, all
right, it's because I was in the ruin Jimmy Coffin, Jimmy Coffin ever
Jimmy Hardts brand new Superstars, and standing next to me, this man ways
forty pounds, he stands six for nine, and I call him hell?
What make his hell? I call him hell? And before it's over,
Jimmy Hart's gonna take you to hell and back. This guy's name is Hale.
He's he's been introduced, He's wrestled on this show. This is the
show before. No, no, no no. This is Hell. The
other guy's Hal. This is his brother, his brother Hell versus this a
blood runs cold situation. It's God. This is undertaker Hell and Hell and
Jimmy Hart's playing Paul be Yeah. And if you're from the South, they
sound the same Hell and Hell. Like I like, I say Helen Hell.
I don't say Hale, sa Hale. I say Helen Hell because I
don't like. I don't like a nutcy A lot of shit like that.
Hell. He XPF was made for you then, brother, Well, sadly
it died before it allowed me to hype it up. They let him do
this promo and then aired it like this where he says the wrong name,
that's the right name. No, Hell, Yale, that's awesome. His
mother fucker's name is Hell. That's awesome, dude. Even behind him,
it says Hale. Hey, look, dude, that's just what Jimmy Hard
calls him. Dude. I call him Dave Brother. That's Vampiro dude,
that's Dave Brother. That's my boy, Dave dude. Who was Hale again?
Was it Emery Emery Hale? I cannot fucking name em Rosa hell the
jacket that Jimmy Hart is wearing, also says Hale. Yeah, hell right,
you call him your brother. That's Dave to me, dude, have
dude, best kept secret of hell Hall. So now we have another great
match. We have Shane Twins, South Philly Posse. Now, boys,
we've watched a lot of this is episode two, twelve page. We watched
an unbelievable amount of wrestling, including tag team wrestling. Too much, too
much. You're right, and I think, and I don't think this is
too crazy to say this could be the worst match of all time. Yeah,
you know what. I so. My first thing when I saw the
entrance man was I cannot believe I'm seeing the Public Enemy wrestle on this show.
And they don't do anything that the Public Enemy were known for. There's
no tables, there's no moon salts. They do ten minutes, maybe fifteen.
It felt like of lim work to Shane Twins. They almost do a
mood salt. They missed though, all please Jazzy here, Oh God,
God pussy, he says, Oh you think Jazzmines ever got involved and hit
people in the matchin Tony Shwani says, I don't know, and Wallace says,
oh, I'd like I'd look a bust of a mouth from her,
wouldn't you, My brother? You could ask Frid fucking crazy public enemy or
the South Philly posse as are going by here. Let get it right,
get right? Yeah, of course, which is one of the e that
ecw run really got them an entire career with the booking them coming out to
fucking hot Stepper and having the fans waved their arms back and forth gave them
a whole life, an entire career to be. You're right, James,
So we start off this match here. One of the Shane twins dudes like
hits the ropes off an Irish whip at the beginning, immediately strips one of
the term buckles. Just raw dog. You can hear too. It is
so loud. I legit wrote down the same thing. It's so fucking loud.
This is, of course, Todd Shane and his brother Todd Hill in
the South Philly Street. Let me tell you some about these dudes, man.
So you got the Shane Twins here, they're they're pretty big dudes,
like they're bald, they're fucking wearing singlets, they're juice there, you're gas
right to go along with you said earlier James. They found dudes that were
gigantic and they were gonna push them. Yeah, man, it's set for.
Then they had the South Philly Posse get heat on the two biggest,
juiciest girl the fun and it's just ridiculous looking stand up, set off,
just get off, they get walked. Dude, you're right, like,
let's git limb work the whole time. They work over Todd Shane and Todd
Shane's me the whole It was funny about the whole thing, the leg It
wasn't even the finish of the bag. Either's like, I don't have a
fucking submission. They don't do anything with this ship, and it's all.
The Shane twins were known for their fucking top rope maneuvers or anything. What
are you doing dude? On commentary, Schavani's talking about not knowing which one
is which either. He says, all, it's like, you know,
it's kind of like the Harris Twins before one of them grew hair out,
and Away says, oh yeah. They're now known as the Harry Twins for
this man. Everybody here is bald. It's a bald teract. You're not
gonna out of here. So Rock a Rock goes for the patented moon Salt
maneuver. Dude, please please describe this in detail because this is this is
unbelievable. I've never seen this before. So he was able to go at
half speed point five speed rock of Rock here where he literally at something like
in the middle of him running the ropes to do this Lion Salt, Lion
salt correct. He walks and then it's like you know, gravity and aw
when he makes his entrance. That's rock of rock here. He's just he
goes up and he went up and I said, look, I don't I
don't know if he's gonna make that one that's gonna be And he gets about
halfway up there and it looks like he's about to go down head first in
the net and thankfully, thankfully, the right hand side of his body does
go a little bit more over and he smacks himself beast style on the right
hand side of his body. If he if if Hail Shame had not moved,
Rock a Rock would have been paralyzed here because that the little because he's
a thick guy, so on the rest of his turn to not kill himself
here would have just landed neck first on the body of this fucking guy and
died. Well, we got a whole, the whole situation about to happen
here, fellas. Oh my god, this is the same the Shane Twins
finally get the big hot tag. Right, this is the this is the
pivotal point of the tag match. Right, I was a fire. All
right, Well, let's cut that off real quick because the Nasty boys are
out here, and oh I gotta wait, the roadways out here too,
dude. The Nasty was wobble down the ramp and then all of a sudden
it cuts to the ring, cuts back the road Warriors and now fighting with
the Nasty boys. I don't even know they're here. They like, no,
clip down to nowhere. I don't even know they're out there. Yeah,
what the fuck? And then the Shane Twins just win. Yes,
that's correct, that's right. Yeah, a little flash before before. So
the Shane Twins suck and can't beat anybody legitimately. Well, the South of
the Posse is one of the most legendary trios in the history of arrest,
all those titles that they got a lot of them. And of course at
the end, the Road Warriors and the Shane Twins stand tall. Pass the
torch back to the Road Warriors, Sane said the whole day as the Road
Warriors. These are the guys ready for this. Let's say that back give
me that, and of course we cut to the wall. Brother, Oh
my god, you don't want to slam it in this wall. Brother,
you don't want to be slamming into this wall because I'm gonna be in your
face in the x WF. All right, man, go to t NA
you alright? Well, next up we got super Fly Jimmy Snuka's town Hall
Dude, Me and Jean introduces Jimmy Snuka, who comes out to the beautiful
people. That's a son song. They introduced him as Jimmy Snuka with his
son's Superstar Jimmy Snuka Juniors, super Fled Jimmy Snuka and Superstar Jimmy. That's
mister, not for real, Like, don't even mess with this guy.
You know who he goes on to be? Of course, Yeah, who's
he going to be? Sean Miluda, No, not Sean Malud though he's
based. He goes on to be Deuce. Oh great, I wasn't watching
at that point, so Jason Domino would cherry come on, bro. But
you know they were like the Sonic employees. They were like the Bashams of
their era. So Jimmy snuk Me Jean informs Jimmy Snuka and the crowd here
that an alien has been found in Mexico. Up so little alien and me
and Jen says, Jermy, I didn't say it was a dead alien.
Me. You finally caught me. Kari Piper comes out and says, where's
the Bonnie's Jimmy alight, No way, they got you right where you dude.
Ronnie comes out. Oh my god, he roast Jimmy Snooker for like
five straight minutes. I got that lovely bunch. Are you talking about chancing
on the fucking stage. Yeah. Every company that Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuker
have ever been together all elite today. You remember when I hit you with
yes, Yes, I know, God damn it, I know you did.
Me and Jean for some reason, then calls out Roddy Piper to come
fight Jimmy Snuker in the ring right now. Me and Geen is a fucking
man, man, Roddy Piper is talking shit and mean says Piper. This
is my place. But if you feel confident you can do something, becaust
men while you can fight him and Pipers just what the fuck? Then tell
me shit man, he said, I did him with a coconut. I'll
be glad to come down there, but the boss won't let me, and
then rarely cuts to a close up of Jimmy Snooker's face off the skinnies,
like, what is he from the same segment. It's not a flashback of
me an alien, It's not going the same segment because I think Ronny person
wear the body's joy Land storm turning his head when he interrupt the air.
I don't know, Brota, Jimmy's diving out of son I got dementia.
Brona asked you. It's eemn better to watch the gift that you upload and
just repeat over and over and over. Dude. It's insane, Tony,
it's not from the same segment. The audio switches, Dude, they didn't
even like overload. Notice that audio dips and then comes back up when it
cuts back to the thing. It's crazy. Dude, how many times have
you been tweeted this? I even looked right into the camera. That's crazy,
bro, Yeah too much, But you've been interrogated your face bron So.
Rena is now up here with the shield at the ramp, and Rena
says, nah, man, that's cool. I'd like to see Roddy Piper,
Jimmy Snuka, maybe a draw a house here, brother, yeah,
man, the fans probably want to see that too, and me and Jean
continues the instinct come on down, yea, Fiber says, I'll come on,
you're lucky cheese here. My arms sore. I got a strapped throat
for a month and a half. Is I got man events or else?
I kicked both your asses back to Fiji and to Grandma. And Rena says,
you know, it wouldn't just be an honor for me, it'd be
an honor for the fans. And Pier said it would not be which was
a great response. It means it's all look at the back pedal. I
mean, Gene, if you don't fucking jump the fuck up. Yeah,
Piper's coming was a great off the cuff ship. They didn't wipe out the
whole snooker clan. Shook your clan's going down. That's my Helo three team.
But yeah, Piper's is. As the commissioner, I have a responsibility
to do my job and make main events. So tonight's main event is gonna
be uh, Buff Bagua and Vampiro against the British Storm and Kurt Hennig.
What what do you mean he's spun spun the wheel and guys brain today.
Dude, they couldn't have made the main event with all those guys involved in
a segment. They had to do this ship instead. Yeah, you don't
want to, Ian Harrison, I don't know. First of all, no,
second of all, what about Jimmy struck it too? Yeah in the
main event, Yeah, Jor gets a little match up here in a minute,
gets the main event though he deserves the main event. Brother, what
Tony was the main event? It just wasn't the main event. Brother.
Oh, you're right, you're right, you're right right or something. Well,
thankfully we're the intermition of the show with Brian Knobbs is here to tell
us everything we just watched. He tell you how good the show has been.
My Plus twenty moment of the night I don't know we should do this
in the middle of our shows, to come up on screen and say,
hey, it hasn't this been awesome? Guys, to explain what's happening on
the show is it's kind of tough, you know what I mean? Yeah?
Did you know that Josh Matthews with a runner up in the Tough Enough
series? Oh, that's true. And you may have noticed some of Rena's
bodyguards boys, and they were well known wrestlers. These are the three bodyguards,
the Barbarian tug boat and four by four of Masterpiece Policy. Listen,
dude, no fucking way was that the tug boat in the Barbaria make a
ship up? What the fuck is he to get him? Show? Just
guys, are the gym that calls himself tug boat, you know, and
the Barbarians. And this guy's name is four by four from Masterpiece Bonds.
That is John Flood. Did you guys know that dressed in his German?
Dude, I'm actually z I've been unable to not know that. You.
Greg Valentine's Brian now his brother in law. He was de night another match
too, and his his good friend Jim Duggan stopped by to say his famous
catchphrase, Hey yo, ever say that? He said x w F x
w L Do you know heyo? That's right? Did the Shane Twins go
to WW? Who were they in the WB? Shane Twins were the Gymini?
They were the Sham and Simon Dean. In two thousand and five they
were the Shane Twins and OVW remember okay, yeah, they were with Simon
Dean. They were the Gymini. Did you know that the Wall was on
the show? Yeah? I actually didn't know that. The Road Warriors and
Nasty Boys start their feud over Roddy Piper is trying to figure out where the
bodies are doubt and somebody well eventually getting nasty. But thankfully we have Kid
Cash defending the Cruiserweight title. I gotta let you know I did have high
hopes. Yeah, and uh in the main event, which I had super
high hopes for and one of many main events here tonight. Well, thankfully,
next up we have Kid Cash versus AJ Styles. It just I was
also coming out to a Last Resort cover, just a different part of the
song. Yeah, I guess so. I thought in my head this is
gonna be pretty damn cool. There's no way that this one doesn't get some
time. Two isn't sweet. Well I was wrong both times happened. I
don't know. They just do a regular shine here and the crowd is reacting
like, like you mentioned, Hogan is slamming Entree in this building, which
is unbelievable, and they're doing nothing. It's literally nothing fucking handerlock drop kick.
Yeah, like nothing crazy here or anything. Well, Aj does his
patented drop kick here. Yes. It felt weird though, Yeah, because
when he gets up to taunt at the end, he doesn't do the arms.
He does one arm up awkwardly. Nation that's crazy. Yeah, that
was so weird. He hasn't figured out his taunt yet. Cash goes off
the top styles tries to roll out of the way, but gets caught by
a clothesline and he pump faked him. That was awesome. Kick Cash goes
with a triangle cross body and then hits the J driller for the wind.
Yeah, dude, moneymaker and just beats him. I was like, dude,
they gave the goddamn South Philly Pozzi so much more time than this.
What. I genuinely have no idea what the thought process was. I was
pissed. I can't imagine there was much. No, it's just like a
if Cruise aweight TV match or something, you know, like they got time
to fill, so let's do this match, I guess. So, man,
Yeah, we gotta save some time for Jimmy schnook A junior. Well
that match is crazy as hell. But what you gonna do? Brother?
Wild on you dude? This is my favorite goddamn Hogan XWF thing ever.
It's the shortest one, but Hogan is standing there, XWF shut XWF popping
up behind him, and when he says XWF, he's trying to pantomime x
WF with his arms. So he does X and then gets locked down and
he just X or then fucking flails his arms around. It is so goddamn
funny. So backstage, Rena is talking to three women. Is this the
Nitro girls? Who are these girls? Yeah? So I read the comments
in the video. Someone said it was gorgeous George on some other girl.
Oh, I didn't know that. That's why I send the comments. I
don't know if that's true or not. Okay, I can believe the YouTube
comments. They would never lie, Yeah, why would they lie? Exactly?
Like, no, one's going to x here brother, but Drina sees
the sneaky cam trying to get I don't know what they were even gonna go
with this. I can't imagine it was anything great. It was the girls
asking, hey, can we get a booking? No, actually, you
book us the wrestle. They're the ex girls. By the way, that
was the name of these this possy. Is that right? They say,
think that's what I think I've read that somewhere that or maybe it was on
the observer that these are the ex girls. Okay, well yeah, by
the way, the graphic before this they show to hype up the Jimmy schnook
Ajunior match, which is Jimmy schnook A Junior against Vapor with Sonny Ono and
Sonny is spelled wrong. It's Sony on I even. I was like,
am I have I've been fucking doing this wrong the whole time. No,
it's they did it wrong, yo, Sony. So we have Vapor versus
Jimmy snook A Junior. Of course we talked about this last time. Vapor
is Ryan Sakota who was in WWE for a Cup of Golfee. Oh that's
right, Okay, okay, so uh J s J as they call him,
this guy JST. Oh sorry, yeah, it's sense called J s
J. J ST starts off the match here, right off the rip USA
USA. It is, dude, it is peaked out crazy, definitely gets
like it's Hogan against the fucking Iron Chic cloud us to grab Vapor comes out.
I think that's when it starts. Right during his he just comes out
and for some reason starts screaming USA at him. He hasn't done anything.
So JST starts with the double Iron Swhip combo, which is very crazy.
Does innovative if it is, they're trying to do some shit here, Double
Irish Whip into the Roddy Slam. I mean this guy maybe has something here,
brother Roddy Slam. I was blown away by I was like, there's
no way this was around yet. Yeah he actually Roddy said, damn,
that is awesome. Good ship. He's right backstage with the boys. Wow,
I'm very impressified. Yes, got something, dude, Me and Jack
Ever's gonna be I was good this guy so Double Irish Roddy Slam. Jerry
Lawler says Yoko Ono by accidental commentary, shit bad Vapor hits him with the
patented push on the chest in the corner here. Of course, that's what
he always did, one of his best moves. I'll wait a minute,
there it is boot happens the second time around, thankfully. Yes, that's
right. And Vapor gets accidentally distracted by Sony on no and jsts this suping
getting neck for you're for it two. That's please put some respect on the
wrestling legend. That's the shake and roll just in there. Sorry, I
apologize. So Sunny gets in the ring, but Jimmy Snuka is here possibly
kill him. I'm sorry. Sorry. He does chop him. Yeah,
he chops the shit out of him in the corner as a Vapor beats shook
a juniors ass in the corner. Yeah, man, I gotta js D
with a jumping facebuster. Don't know what I thought it was a DDT at
first and it turned itself house. I don't know, wasn't it okay?
Yeah, So Jimmy Snuka irish whips Sony Oo into the middle and shook a
tune your swips some vaper? What is this? What is he say?
Alright, into the middle, and the Vapor bumps into Sony Ono and then
shook A Tunior invents the Tornado flat D D D Rosina shit like this.
He's an innovator. And then Jimmy hits the worst backbreaker. Ronny's decided all
that day back stays he was never gonna anyway hit this shit like that ever
again. He's gonna save the backbreaker after Jimmy Snuka, maybe because I thought
Jimmy Stucker was just gonna like do a gentle body slam the backbreaker sony on
No, and both of them go to the top rope and okay, dude,
I was blown away here because they have him lined up. Sonny sony
Ono and Vapor are laying there. Sony Ono is laying how you think when
somebody would take the super Fly splash and Vapor is laying the long way.
What the fuck is happening here? Well, Jimmy Snuka hits the splash.
It's even funnier because he does the taunt, and then you look over to
Jimmy sick A Junior and he doesn't do the ton I don't know what he
does. He's got to figure out how to fuck hit this. Wait,
what's your yeah? What the fuck? So? Yeah, Jimmy stuck it
does this just fine, just kind of jumps right off, you know,
and Jimmy stuck it two your jumps about forty five switting his body, but
he's said ship though, Yeah, frogslas esque when he as the weird frogslass
crazy. You're right, Yeah, that's exactly what it was. And the
and they both cover both Sony oh no and Vapor and the referee counts both
been falls. Shook it clan, Yeah, that's crazy. The beautiful people.
Yeah, man, that was a really nice father's son situation. Yeah,
there was probably a much more of the father's son's situations they had later
on in life. And before this, the police were backstage waiting bag Stays
awaiting the match to be over. Oh no, that wasn't me, that
was we got you ready. So now we got the goddamn made a vent
of this fucking show. The last match of the history of the XWF is
right here. This is crazy. So we got the British Storm, Ian
Harrison and Kurt Hinting and they're facing off against buff Bagwell and Vampiro correct and
Ian Harrison. The British Storm looks like ww sarge on all of the drugs
you could possibly find, and Vampiro comes out looking like he's on also all
the drugs you could find. He wants to improve your physique. There's two
there's two sides of spectrals of drugs, and you're looking at both of them
in this match. It's really a site to be seen. Dud Ian Harrison
is so juicy it's fucking like he's believable. Really still he is radioactively Jerry
Lawler wants you to know how fucking ugly he is still three shows running.
Holy Man. All right, So Bobby Heenan introduces the British Storm, Ian
Harrison and currying in to the ring. Yes, and you look, look,
you mentioned this earlier. You guys want to reiterate. I've been watching
a lot of wrestling in my life. I'm with you, James's little about
fucking life. But this interaction between Ian Harrison and Van Perre to start this
match off has got to be the worst goddamn secrets I've ever seen in my
life, all legendary, back to back, all time worst on this show.
I have legit never seen anything worse than this. This was two guys
that have no idea where they're at or what they're doing. Not a clue
and it's a rough one. Well, buff Bagwell gets in and he punched
his car handing out of the ring and he calls to Bobby Heenan, but
Ian Harrison's so fucking ugly he forgets he's on his team and he runs away.
By the way you have, I will give the British storm Ian Harrison
this big, ugly, freaky little credit here he does hit Vampiro with the
Chokinstein, which was awesome. I was, I was back on board.
That's needed. That's the gun right there, Ian Harrison, And that's a
better wrestling name move Chokinstein and dude. How like CCW Hadni figured out two
best moves ever Chokinstein and mother Eff and Bob. I liked the decapitator too.
I think it was like that move is crazy as it's nut. Yeah,
so uh yeah, a lot of dub's coming out of ces dub A
lot of not dubbs you have, but we take away what do you mean,
dude? Brother? All right, so Ian Harrison is only doing clothes
fisted punches, which is illegal by the but whatever Tony Shavanni. When Ian
Harrison gets tagged by the way says, oh, here's the workhorse of the
team. Beat his ass backstage or some shit, isn't I could. I'm
going to be in the Royal Rumball. So Ian Harrison with the worst fucking
grilla press slam of all time. I don't even want to call it that
because it's so fun. It is legit. I've never seen someone go like
fucking titantic Titanic style, Like the Piro was like unbelievable way to put it.
It's yeah, he like pushed up on one side. But Ian Harrison,
for some reason, would it get off his crotch. It's like,
dude, lift his fucking legs up. He's like on his cock, just
fucking holding his pot. He's like, what is happening here? Man?
Vampiro's cock is so heavy that it's weighing down the right side of his body.
So Titanic style is an unbelievable man work. I mean, this has
got to be the worst finish of all time. This is this has to
be the worst bad So Buff and Vampiro go back to back as Kurt and
Ian Harrison get back in the ring and they try to hold them off for
some reason in a tag match. They do a back to back against the
numbers spot against two people. Well, Ian Harrison's the size of four dudes,
so maybe that's the difference here. Well, Vampiro kicks Ian Harrison out
of the ring, and I'm guessing Ian Harrison forgot that Vampiro was gonna dive
on him to the outside. Okay, I thought the same thing. I
was wondering what happened there. So Vampiro is probably was a dive on the
outside and then the flash pin, right, But Ian Harrison wasn't in the
spot. Vampire is not gonna hurt himself, right, so he went up
to dive and he just got that down. He looked at him and yells.
He's yelling at him. Yeah, he just stands there and in the
background, Kurt Hinting rolls up buff bag Well, and they win. They
win, and not only that they win. Vampiro, still staring at Ian
Harrison, does not know he lost the match, despite the fact that the
other team's music is playing and the announced are just announced that Hannig and Ian
Harrison won the mat. He's probably thinking of how he's gonna fucking wrangle his
neck backstage, and he's a ship. He's got a big log of shit
to leave an the bag. He's brewing up a fucking fat shit for dude.
So all right, this gets even crazier. So Buff is now mad
at Vampiro because he stood there like an idiot and watched lose. Yes,
they go chest to chest. They have not fought yet, they're just chested
chest. A little push maybe, yes, little shove. I thought we
were getting a Christopher Daniels running. It's like, oh my god, push
for Daniels. They're about to push the high power. Well no, the
whole roster comes out to separate these two and they weren't even fighting. They
were not fighting. They haven't come the blows yet. But the roster knew
that if Buff Bagwall and Vampiro were to touch anymore, that it would let
loose an explosion like they've never seen before. I love that Christopher Daniels was
running so quickly to get out there. He was the first one in the
rings. When you see I think the shot. So yeah, man,
there you go. That's the main event. It is, uh yeah,
Well let me tell you something, dude. I've been hanging and banging with
the last EPISOD the X w F. Dude, let me do this handside
run shit man, Wow, what a run for the x WF and went
out with the bang. They went out with something, dude. Yea,
brother Knobs has got some more to tell your bro. Come on, no,
I can't forget brianb has to close the show up because he has to
explain what has happened. He did not watch the show. He can't expect
you the fucking pay attention to this ship. So so Brian Knobs says,
you know, bro, it was all coming together really nice, and the
music cuts out. He takes the glasses off. Sally, four of our
brothers have passed away. Oh, I was like, OK, all right,
Dane's yeah, that's fucking sad. So he mentions the wall Rock of
Rock Road Warrior Hawk and Kurt hitting and h the picture they used for Kurt
hitting here. It's not absolutely ridiculous. It's Kurt hitting in a buff bag
wall hat. I've never seen this picture ever in my life. I look
for it. I tried to find the picture. I think it was like
a personal Brian Knobs pictures. It must have been from the tapings. Yeah,
because I legit have never seen that picture. They probably told him to
take proble pictures. This is what he did for around give me the hat,
as James said a very somber moment where he's talking about you know the
guys that have passed away, they share the graphic. Anyway, thanks for
watching. Make sure to go back to the main menu and check out the
bonus match between my friend Hall Cogan and Karn Hennig with his h and Bobby
Heenan. Yeah, man, I'm not gonna do that. No, God,
well we do. Actually we watched the pat what we did it before
you ask, So that's true. Patreon a complist deadlock PW checkout we watched
it. Watch this. I forget what episode number was, but it was
on there, and that is that is the story of the fucking XPF man
that was. I truly can't believe that there's no more to watch of this
because there's more that happened. For sure, we know that it did.
Yeah, there is a lot more. Actually I don't know where there's a
match who Terry Funk fought Greg Damer Valentine in a bloody match at a house
show. I guess never never saw that. That sounds nuts, Yeah,
that sounds awesome. I'm gonna go into some observer stuff here. I also
have the rest of what happened. So the episodes that we've watched, so
episodes one, two, and three were taken from x w F tapings three,
four, and five. Now, I haven't looked at the rest of
these because they're they've taped. There's nine tapings here, so I'm just curious.
So here's some of the stuff that we haven't seen. So from taping
six there was Daniels versus Aja Styles, which I read from Meltzer was awesome.
I don't know how, and I guess it was South Philly Posse faced
Dave Power and Dean Power the Power Company. Norman Smiley beat Vapor. Let's
see Johnny b Bad beat Mister Jones, Greg Valentine beat Marty Genetti. Marty
Genet just getting his ass whooped all the time. Here whoven To de Guerrera
beats Kid Cash for the Cruizoid title. We missed that one. Taping seven,
Johnny Swinger and Simon Diamond beat Caged Heat. Dresden beat Billy Fives,
Jimmy schnook A Junior beat Vapor. He does it again. Christopher Daniels and
Prince IAKA beat Josh Matthews and Kid Cash. What a match. Hogan beat
Kurt Hennig, which is the match. The bonus match that we watched Taping
eight had the Wall beat Mike Sullivan, Jim Duggan beat Barry Harrowitz Hail beat
Horace Hogan. Wow, Hell, this is hal here could but who knows
who showed up? You're right, You're right. This is an unbelievable fucking
match. This needs to be released because this is a match we need to
see. The x WF Tag Team title four way match. The Nasty Boys
defeat the Road Warriors, the Shane Twins and the South Philly Bozzi. That
sounds fucking crazy. And then on taping number nine, Jim Duggan beat Fidel
Sierra, Jimmy schnook a junior tune You're Sorry like love It, Shane Twins
beat the Harris Brothers. Wow, the Kiss Demon beat Crowbar Caged Heat and
Adara James beat Johnny Schwinger, Simon Diamond and Dawn Marie. And then the
main event was Vampiro beats Buff Bagwall. That was the big blow off of
their feud. I imagine there and then yeah, they did a bunch of
house shows. Here. I'm trying to see. H that's so weird because
some of these house shows, like kid Cash is still Cruisweight Champion here,
get him back to him. He beat Josh Matthews again. Oh no,
maybe this is the one. No, no, this was a separate one.
Okay, kid Cash beat Josh Matthews. Vampiro beat buff bagwe kurn hennig.
I'm trust see if there's any other title. They did a whole tour
where Kid Cash just kept beating Josh. Firstally requested that, wait what Conan
and Ray Musterio beat the Nash Boys, Right? Fuck yeah. This is
on the same show with Terry Funk beat Greg Valentine. Yeah yeah yeah.
Ian Harrison wins the world title and then Viscera wins it in Puerto Rico.
That's awesome. So the final champions are Viscera, the Nasty Boys are the
tag champs, Kid Cash is the Cruise aweight champion, and Christy ritchie Riki
is the women's champion. That was the final champions of the XWF. There,
okay, all right, so here's some observer stuff. January fourteen,
two and two in x TOBF News, John Flood and Luckwell Denny Yeah That's
correct, had a meeting this past week with Clear Channel in New York,
presumably regarding touring. At this point, there's nothing planned until after the National
Association of Television Program Executives, which starts on January twenty one in Vegas.
Next Universal tapings have been moved back to March, and no how shows are
planned until the last weekend in March January twenty first. The company is trying
to present an upbeat picture publicity of Kurn Hennig, whose most figure would be
the logical choice to be the XBF champion, but isn't under contract and he's
so they're trying to make it look good because Kurn Hennig has been confirmed for
the Royal Rumble in January of O two. Here, Hennig is scheduled the
day after the Rumble to go to that Las Vegas thing. The Nationals,
the TV Association thing for the XWFF went through the XWF to book Kurn Hennig,
and Hennig is only supposed to be a one shot deal, probably those
in the company and visually everyone in wrestling sees things differently. Figuring that Hennig,
if he looks good and is presented in a favorable light in the rumble,
would be brought in as a regular, which of course he is the
sign him. January twenty f XWF was scheduled to bring in Piper, the
Road Warriors, Haile, Nasty Boys, Greg Valentine, Kurn, Hennig,
Jim Duggan, The Kiss Demon, the Ex Girls, and Ian Harrison to
that Las Vegas event Melt Rights. I'm not sure that the Kiss Demon won't
impress anybody, but Ian Harrison, as a form of body builder, is
the kind of guy who that gets people's attention, unfortunately by just standing there
because that's all he can do. And because TV executives are older than wrestling
fans, people like Piper and Road Warriors and even Duggan may mean more to
others and as well as an Icy Boys in Valentine. So they're going to
this thing in hopes of somebody they're being impressed by the XBF. I think
they had a ring at this event and they were doing matches to try to
get a fucking TV deal. They say, here, there's a definitely a
moral change. And this was even before the current handing situation became totally clear
from the unbridled enthusiasm at the start to a lot of pessimism. Losing Hogan
and Sting's apparent disinterest are a huge part of it. So I guess Sting
was a potential here at the XWF at some point which it would have been
fucking crazy. What do you think Sting would have done on the show wrestled
Hall or Hale? Well, shit, he probably would have been the to
beat all those guys. If hopegan in sign feud with the MPURO again,
rekindle that one. So February fourth, two thousand and two, the internal
claim from those within the company is that they have a deal with FX just
about finalized and are hopeful the deal will be announced in a couple of weeks.
Oh wow, Okay, so there's some hope here. And the next
TV tapings look to be in March, either the first or second week at
Universal in Orlando. Well March eighteenth, the house show schedule for the end
of the month have been canceled largely. Everyone has been told to sit tight
until September and given the same hints of an impending TV deal that is the
same word that has gone around since the promotion opened March twenty fifth, two
thousand and two. Only notes is they are talking about coming to Texas for
house shows in late April and running the Carolina is the first week in May,
James, you could have went to an x WF typing potentially, Yeah,
it could have went us some there well. April fifteen, two thousand
and two. The group is claiming that it is most likely announcing a TV
deal within the next two weeks. Keep in mind that this isn't the first
time we've heard something like this, but apparently there's a major meeting on on
or around April twenty second, and then they have announced a four show tour
of SOULD shows in Texas through Ring Entertainment, which promotes events on or near
college campuses and what camp be construed as a good sign. The wrestlers have
been asked if they'll work the tour for less money than previous tours as they
show faiths to promoter Walter frank Well. May six thousand and two, the
entire Texas tour ended up being canceled at the last minute due to the sponsor,
Ring Entertainment, pulling out. XWF was promised what was believed to have
been eighty thousand dollars for four dates, got a forty thousand dollars deposits,
although those numbers weren't confirmed by the promotion. Ring Entertainment bought four shows from
the XWF and was in charge of all the expenses in publicity and only asked
a Dusty Rhodes beyond the tour, so he was booked for matches against Greig
Valentine. According to Brian Knobbs, he arrived in Texas on April twenty three
four a meeting with the promoter, who gave no indication of canceling the tour
and said they would have had the rest of the money at one pm the
next day. They never showed up, never told anyone that they had early
in the day canceled all the dates. All the talent showed up in Texas
to find out the tour was canceled. Who with virtually no advertising in any
of the markets. The advances were tiny, less than fifty tickets and sold
one of the events that had promoted Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper and Sable on
it. Brian Knobbs, Dude, yeah, that is fucking crazy. Brian
Knobbs claimed that seven hundred fans ended up coming to a meet and greet that
happened instead. Even though the marquee of the building listened to. The show
was canceled. There are no future dates on the books. Knobs says that
they mun run it might they may run four dates in June, though,
and the April twenty second date on the TV deal came and went, and
wrestlers are now told about a May seventh date. Well May thirteenth, two
thousand and two. The wrestlers were told last week that a television deal would
hopefully be finalized by the end of the coming weeks. At this point,
Hogan's already at WF That's right. Well, the rumors flying it could be
either for Fox Kids or FX Ye Crazy You watch and then you can watch
watch Hall or Hale and Jimmy Shill continue every week well June twenty four,
twenty two. It appears that there's going to be one last stab at making
it. There isn't expected to be a press release if they close a TV
deal. Of course, we've heard about a pending announcement every week since November,
but this is actually close to a real deal where they would announce that
after five weeks of TV and whatever station they find, they would also try
a pay per view. The plan, if it's pulled off, would be
five weeks of TV in September and October, which they would have to buy
time, likely on WGN in Chicago, building to a late October pay per
view show. July eighth, Twill and two, the XWF is dad the
near demise of XBF. He's get another painful lesson of just how hard a
business this really is. We've discussed this part before, but I'll go over
again just because it's the final XWF thing. After a lengthy meeting on June
twenty sixth, the promotion basically recognize there was just no way to do business
in the US. They had spent months trying to negotiate a TV deal after
shooting ten episodes last year. No matter how much people in wrestling like to
point to ww strong numbers, even though they are down as evidence that a
smaller cable network could use wrestling as a flagship to be something, it's not
something programmers are interested in. For one, it's considered the fad of a
year or two ago, and nobody wants to get in on the back end
of the last trend. XWA is recent last ditch effort when negotiations with WGN
in Chicago, but that's obviously did not work out. The money people behind
XWF, after spending well and excess of two million dollars for the original tapings
production and having several salaried office employees and a few wrestlers on retainer, recognize
it is a no win situation. The company is not folding completely, although
some, if not many, employees are being cut loose, and all the
wrestlers that were on retainer and low playing developmental deals have gotten the word that
they are no longer under contract. The battle plan at this point seems to
be to try and sell the existing five tapes overseas and follow the shows up
with a tour. Having television worring would put them in a better shape than
the WWA which was on Australia. Thing. I think this week's other big
casualty, but five TV shows that will come across data. Since w B
is on TV almost everywhere and people like Hogan and Jerry Lawler are all over
the tapes, it's probably not enough to create a demand in any markets that
currently gets w to be television, let alone that WW is traveling too,
and they aren't going to tape anything new. The x WF is dead.
Yeah. If you watch these XBF tapes with Hogan and Laller and stuff in
there, and WB currently like what the fuck is this? They're not gonna
be on this show ever. Again, it's an invasion, dude. This
proves that like taping stuff and then shopping around the TV deals or TV networks
does not work. Like GFW that doesn't work in this year like two o
one. Oh, maybe that's something that probably could have worked though Yeah,
yeah, like now probably no jf W tried that they had all these tapes
and they never wanted to put it on TV, and then all the wrestlers
are gone and in n XT and stuff, there's an invasion going on,
and yeah, man, what a what a ride for the x WF.
But there is like at least like a few more shows that happened that have
not seen the light of day, and even at the end of the DVD,
Brian Knobbs says, stay tuned for more lost episodes of the XWF and
stay nast. The only other thing of the Observer about XWF is four or
sorry. Three years later, May fourteen, ole than five, expect to
see XWF videotapes advertised on late night television, similar to Girls Gone Wild in
similar weeks, I don't know what, featuring stars like Hogan, Piper Sable,
Heenan, Road Warriors, Henig, as well as early footage of people
like Carlido, low Key, Ages thousand, Christopher Daniels. Hogan signed off
on allowing them to push tape series. The tape series around his match with
Henig that he did as a dark match just to get the buzz back,
and also that match is what got him back in the ww Weeks later,
Meltzer says, that's it for the fucking x WF boys. What an absolutely
insane run. I feel like in three shows they changed how I looked at
pro wrestling. Very legendary, absolutely legendary. Man. Any any final thoughts
you have there, James Son, You're You're how it makes you feel that
that this is the end of the XPF run. Sadly don't have anything that
I could possibly say I could sum up my thoughts in the x WF at
this time. Well, you know what, James, I'll just leave you
with this. Stay nasty, Stay nasty, James. You gotta staynay.

fucking have. But that is it for this episode of the Deadlock Podcast.
