check off. I thought that for the Dedlock episode, I would have big
Joey tell us what we watched this week. We're watching WCW thunder, the
final thunder of all time, ever of history, the last one, Tony,
that's correct. Uh we. I was looking for something to do,
and I was like, what the fuck are we doing? I realized I
thought we'd already watched this thunder. Then I realized we only had watched something
from this thunder, and I was like, well, too late, I'm
watching this episode. No, it's good. It was due. It was
more thunder than I expected it to be, and somehow that even exceeded my
expectations of how thunder this episode was. Thunder was good. It was all
right, look, we're gonna not do this, so we're gonna talk about
the Deadlock updates. All right. It was fine. I like the updates.
I do like, you gotta workshop at another time, not on the
show. You don't work. We do a lot workshop only here from all
of my artists out there when you're getting shut down by your friends, when
you're trying to really get up there, And do you think that's just me?

show match on YouTube seven thirty. Hell yeah, it was the right back
taking on Callisto for the United States, also also known as the little Guy,

Got ourselves a new retro sin couple of Patreon. Oh hell yeah,
and that is a legendary retro Sinc. Because it takes us that we're having
your own jokes in your head. Well, I'm trying to explain the fucking
retro. I just want to make sure everybody understands. Apparently some people don't
have that voice in their head like that. Have you heard that? Have
you heard that? Oh? Like there's not always something being said in your
not a voice, and like you can't talk to yourself the Yeah. People
that can't do that, they have silence. Yeah, yeah, there's nothing
going on. They literally cannot talk to themselves in their head. It's just
like I think some people, I literally can't do the opposite. I can't
have nothing going on. The voice keeps telling me to kill myself, but
I just keeps coming up with You gotta stick around long enough to see this
retro Sinc. Of course SINC Number forty one, which is the legendary episode
where came sets JR. On fire? It is that really shifted. That
was a cultural shift in the podcast. Was that the was that the episode
with just instigator or whatever? What was that was Steve Austin fu Yeah,
it was you can't terrogator tergator. Yeah, it was like it was good.
There's another word for it. Ut as is also this watch go watch
that we got the summer of Kane going on here, we got now then
we had the last one which was Kane as well. So it is not
Kane related Tony, Uh, it is, of course. Well, I
guess he was on the show to be fair and just wants invasion two thousand

the Champion, go to episode two hundred. We'll have to find all right
time to get into WCW Thunder March twenty one, two thousand and one,
or better yet known as the very last motherfucking Thunder that's ever existed. That's
what they said. It's how they opened up the show. They don't they
don't open it that way. They don't even know. They have no idea.
This is the laste. We have no idea. What's going on here?
What's going on here? Before we get too deep into it, Tony,
let's take a look what's going around in wrestling at the time with the
observers, of course, from the Wrestling Observer newsletter March nineteenth, two thousand
and one. In WCW news at press time early similar to ECW just two
plus months ago, there are only three shows remaining on the books, which
are the Greed pay per view U Nitro the next night, and then the
annual Spring Breakout NITRO in Panama City, Florida. Everything else is speculation.
There are no shows scheduled for April. Nobody seems to have an answer is
what will air in the wrestling time slots on Monday and Wednesday night on T
and T and TBS, which I how did people like there was still a
faint hope that like they would just come up with a ton of dates all
of a sudden, Like why didn't people know sooner that this was dead?
Well, they didn't really know who was owning it, right, like because
it wasn't going back and forth with like Bischoff and all these other people in
the fusion by nobody really knew what was happening. But doesn't that like really
close? Like maybe I just have a different idea of but I it seems
like there's not a lot of time and like if they're I mean, maybe
they could have just did shows and nobody would have thought of it. But
the planning that I imagine would go into a show, travel all that stuff
likely more than a week, right, I don't know, Yeah, but
I guess he'd like they assumed that Turner would always broadcast pro wrestling, you
know, so they would just, yeah, we'll probably always have this,
but that wasn't the case. Well, them leaving and then leaving the Big
Bang as an open thing that like people got to talk about probably fueled a
ton of t w Yeah, it worked for years still to this day.
Uh. There's been snags in the negotiations in recent weeks with ww Infusion.
Fusion originally agreed to a purchase price in the neighborhood of seventy million dollars,
but lowered the offer to fifty million dollars range based on the January books.
Did the number that w B paid ever come out? I'm sure it did,
right, It's like two or three million. Chris Jericho could have body,
yeah, yeah, it was way less than fifty million, right,
yeah, no way, Chris Jericho had two or three million dollars. Also,
that was if he did. That was all I had. Four point
four point two million, is what they said. Fuck, and they were
gonna give him fifty million. It was a TV spots I think. Okay,
sure, Eric Bischoff's the original group. I guess seventy million was what
they were going to pay for, right, seventy with the TV spots,
right, yes, and then I lost the TV pretty much here. Um.
Although, by the way, in New Japan, New uh Muto's new
Need to the Face finisher is called the Spinning Wizard, so please remember that
everyone else calling it shining has been wrong forever. Wizard, that makes sense
Harley Race did this don't speak on the King's name. Sorry, my bad.
Sorry. In insane clown Posse News show canceled after a bomb threat which
led to a mini riot in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. There had been controversy leading
up to the appearance, with religious groups in the area wanting to shut the
show down. The show went on with a thousand fans, but the band
left the building after word of the bomb threat. When it was announced that
the show was canceled, the crowd became unruly and started to punch holes in
walls. More than fifty police officers sprayed pepper spray to clear the building,
and there was six arrows. There's got to be footage of that somewhere right
of this happening. Probably not not footage, no, no, not even
on like a shitty like cam quarter. One person at an ICP show.
They got it out there. What the hell? They're probably struggling just to
get closed on. You know. Life is not a pretty one, but
it was a fun one, that's true, dude. I'd still one of
my life goals is to go to the gathering I one time, just to
experience it. I feel like crazy. It would dude, us going to
the gathering would be fucking crazy for sure, James, you want to go,
don't you? Hell yeah? Hell yeah. Uh. In w c
W News, Chris Ford, who wrestled as Crowbar, was released. Uh
and he was told by the office that his contract, believed to be slightly
more than one hundred thousand a year, was so high and they were cutting
back on the budget. That must feel horrible that you get fired and then
the company shuts down. Anyway, Like that is a word. I don't
know what it means. It's definitely, it's definitely, you know what I'm
saying though, But like if he would have not been released, he would
have just been able to sit out the contract and get paid. Okay,
yeah, that's true, But that he probably would have taken the WWF thing
anywhere. Yeah, he wanted to money, he was. Yeah, he
would have been in the inaugural brawl three. Well uh maybe I don't think
so. Sadly, he might have been one of those guys. A major
complaint of the current formattic of ww is the feeling that instead of laying out
matches for five to six minutes, which means three to four minutes because the
account segment time, which includes walking in the ring and ring announcements. They
now lay most matches out for nine minutes, with the feeling that they need
to emphasize the wrestling content, which I feel like was felt a lot on
this thunder that was thunder in general. Though yeah, you're probably right.
Um. The shortcoming as it pertains to understanding the abilities of talent is that
if it's Sean Stasiak or the Cat or someone who isn't a good worker,
they at the same time as someone coming who would get uh it, yeah,
like mega perfection or some shit like you. Have you seen one Shaun
Stas match you liked? Yeah, the one we watched recently for UTA you
did? Come on? Yeah, no, they will be able to watch.
You put a side on the fire. Did or did not like Sean
Stas versus Albert Big Show and whatever it was? That's insane. No,
I don't. From The Observer, March twenty six, two thousand and one,
in a letter from Brad Siegel to I guess everyone in w CW,
he says, in early January, we told you about an agreement that we
had reached the WCW and it's related assets at that time, we said we
would tell you of any changes to the way w c WE operates. Effective
Tuesday, March twenty seven, WW program will begin a period of hiatus.
During this hiatus, WCW will review its programming plans and determine the course of
future of WWW branded entertainment events. On March twenty eighth, please plan to
attend an all staff meeting at ten am at the power Plant, at which
we will share with you further information regarding WCW. And Meltza writes even to
the end they couldn't be completely honest to their own employees. There is no
hiatus, and by the end of the day, TBS will publicly announced that
they will no longer air wrestling on the stations after twenty nine years of running,
which is to be blamed by Jamie Kelner, who became Damn Jamie Kilner.
Jamie Kellner became the CEO of Turner Broadcasting who and he always disliked pro
wrestling, and he made the decision to cancel all pro wrestling on TBS,
and he tried to kill Cartoon Network. Is that right? I don't know,
Oh, you're right, alright, I'm gonna go with you. You
can't take that away, dude. This fucking Jamie Kelner, son of a
bitch did this Cardion network. Dude, he notoriously hated adult swim is what
I heard. That's unbelievable. I'll say that. Yeah, you better.
Yeah, your kneecaps are done if you fucking invide you anywhere. Um.
While wrestling still drew above average ratings on Mondays for T and T and average
ratings on Wednesday for TBS because of I didn't even know this. Because of
the negative stigma of pro wrestling with the advertising community, it was unable to
generate advertising community. Yes, it was unable to generate the revenue for the
station that's similarly rated and the lower rated other programming could. So like WCW
was doing better ratings than shittier shows, but shittier shows would get paid more
for ads. Yeah, so like a bunch of like you know, the
advertising committee, a bunch of group of advertisers. Ago, Yeah, we
want to pay our sponsors to be on the network, but we don't want
wrestling even like WCW. I mean, the writings weren't like the best,
but it was still you know, probably pretty decent. I'm sure they ranked
up there on fucking Mondays. Still, I'll tell you what advertise community did
not like and not like, and I'll tell you something in the streete you,
I'll tell you that much. H Here's some a couple things from backstage
w C before we wrap up here from ww Greed, the biggest story backstage
involved Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell, okay, you guys have to tell me
because I know we watched this together, but I don't know. Did we
watch this at your house? Greed? Yeah? We did, okay,
because I remember us reacting to this too, because there's like a twenty minute
Jason Jet match on it, and you walked in my house, I think
from off the plane, and so what's going on twenty minutes? That is
true, lu Buff, who may have greatly hurt whatever slim chances and virtually
no chance of being picked up by the WF with the reaction of being asked
to put over. Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Hare both complained loudly about it,
to the point most wrestlers thought they were babies, and the way they stormed
out of the building after the meeting to go to the gym made a lot
of people think they weren't going to come back. The match itself was booked
for eight minutes and it was supposed to be a hair pinning Luger with the
Seanton bomb clean. Instead, after doing a length, lengthy interview which was
a part of the script, they went into business for themselves and did a
spot where they knocked each other out and laid down for a hair to do
his move, and both of them took a pin in fifty four seconds.
Do you remember them because they did that and then laid there forever. Yeah,
and we were like, what the fu? Yeah, so they just
that was them. Yeah. We were like, are they shooter her?
Like, what's going on? No, they did that because they did not
want to put put over Plumbo and Hair. Well, well, Palumbo is
going to answer back with a great match to night Right, always always does,
dude, dude. Lastly here there were two backstage skirmishes the last two
weeks. Last week, Palumbo tried to stand up to Rick Steiner and went
to try and take them down. It was a bad idea and he paid
for it. This week, Sean O'Hare and Jet Jason Jet Jason Jet gotten
into a backstage and oh Harry choked him out in thirty seconds. All right,
Well, so WCW's going pretty fucking well here. Good, Yeah,
that's true. Everything else though not so much. It's weird. Palumboo Hair's
name keep getting brought up, and it seems like they're the problem. Actually,
you know what, maybe you're right, Tony, these fucking power plant
bastards and natural one thrillers. Really all right, where's Mike Standers? Mike
Sanders is not here, and you can't wrangle the boys together, Coach Nash.
Coach Nash can't have the boys fucking sit down and talk this out and
have a great invasion match coming up, a great promo and match on this
show. I mean, they don't give me started to night. Let a
couple months from now, even better match. Well, let's talk about WW
Thunder, the Final Thunder before you get into that. Before I got a
little thing for you. Tell them. I've found in the archives on the
WW dot com the press release of when they acquire WW from Broadcasting A nice
um so they say, W announced this purchase of WCW from Turner Brand.
Uh. Also they call it w B Entertainment Ink, which I think is
funny. World Wresting Entertainment. It's probably fie. Oh. So they go
on to say the purchase of WW creates a tag team partnership with a w
W brand that is expected to propel the sports entertainment genre to new heights.
That didn't happen at all, what do you mean? And keeping and keeping
with the company's strategic alliance with Viacom, new WCV programming is anticipated to air
on TNN in the near future. The possibility of cross brand storylines and intriguing,
however, may start in early as Monday night during w B raw Is
War on TNN and the final performance of WW Nitro live on the Turner Network
Television. And then they go on to say that this is a perfect creative
and business catalyst for our company. Says Linda Ellerb. This is a dream.
This is a dream combination for fans of sports entertainment. The mix of
WW and W personalities potentially creates intriguing storylines that will attract a larger fan base
and benefit from our advertisers, business partners and propel the sports entertainment to new
heights. Shut up all. So, they basically say that WW opens new
opportunities for growth in pay per view, live events and more consumer products.
They were all right, they're saying w's gonna open up a whole new stuff.
They're gonna keep it going forever. It did it and wrestling didn't ended
the invasion. They opened up a circle of hill that wrestling never got out
of. Thank you, and in short, In short, Linda McMahon says,
it is a perfect fit. Liar me, when I am lying fitting
the world's biggest truck up my ass, you have a better song earlier,
is sorry. So they weren't. They weren't going to kill it off.
They were gonna keep it on. They were gonna keep it going forever.
They wanted to keep ww traditional Tony. They didn't because of buf back.
Well, well they should have figured out. They didn't want to put over
Plumbo no hair, so they should have known. I should have put Scott.
We'll let you pick out man. Yeah, at home, all right,
Final Thunder. I had no idea you Thunder. We got this press
release from w dot com says you are looking forward to working with these I'm
gonna press my ass and release on your face. All right, So we
start with the cold open here on Thunder will be kissing my white ass?
What happened on Thunder? We have been talking about this for quite a minute,
um, with the Dusty and Flair thing. I feel like every time
we talk about Thunder or the Last Nitro or anywhere around this, he's Dusty
Flair, Jarrett and dust and Yes and uh, you know we've talked about
a bunch but Dusty Rhodes EA's a bunch of fucking burritos for the reason,
and flair Jack because he's yes. But they kissed the donkey's ass and Dusty
faces him. Dusty still eats the burritos. Well, he stick faces him
a green right, that's why he had got But he didn't even take his
underwear down. He was he didn't like ship his pants. He didn't even
take his darn Come on, come on, man, you never had an
ass before, bro? Like that? Come on? Yeah, come on,
bro? You ever had underwear pressed against your face? Tony? Yeah?
Like that? Brober this you will be kissing my white ass. That's
what you will be giving my white ass. Dude. This is cold open,
It's crazy, It's like backed up. Its fucking a d H d
intro, which is great for me. Yeah, I mean that's what those
kind of like the whole error right here, like the transitions on Thunder.
The Thunder intro is a straight out of a two thousand and one video game.
Yeah, I kind of like it. I do too, kind of
what you think, I think kind of sucks. It's dogs, you will
be kissing so much better. The Hollywood one was the Hollywood sign on the
Thunder intro. You like that one more than this one? That's so much
better. Yeah, that's like iconic, man, I kind of I kind
of like when a whole two thousand and one W seven intros are like garbage,
like a bunch of loud music and visuals. My brain is that man.
Dude, that TikTok generation got their brain. Friends, those guys too,
shorts, Dude. I get the same song over and over and hour
as fucking sick of it can we saw, Tony. That's why I'm trying
to bring in the new generation of music. But people just don't want to
hear it. Dude. No, wait, Tony just wasn't fucking young enough
to appreciate this intro at the time. You were young enough to see the
original Thunder. Watching Thunder intro with the population welcome to Hollywood. That was
awesome though, No, maybe hate you don't know anything about it. You
don't know going. You are like a summer aunt. You die in health,
in your sins. You will be kissing my white ass. I'll tell
you that white as. Now take your under wear off, would you make
me? Because your ass? Now, look, here's what's happening. It's
called well, Dusty Jerry. They kissed a donkey's ass and they run running
the angle and the angles still going. It was Dusty's ass. Of course
that was on the donkey because they have a generational feud going on currently where
it's Rick Flair and Jeff Jarrett versus Son Jeff jarry Son. Why they probably
fired him out of here. Luger also got taken out on Nitro, I
think, by the way, and Buff was blaming Rick Steiner, and Booker
said he talked to the man Eric Bischoff, and Monday will be a night
of champions and every title it will be up for grass. Well, you
have to also remember that we're currently in the middle of the Magnificent seven Angle,
which goes nowhere. I'm still confused at what it is. Do you
remember like it was? It was basically Flares. It was basically the Millionaires
Cab too. It was Flat versus WCW Okay, it always is this,
it's yes, this happens off. I also think that not Animal, maybe
it was Hawk somebody. I think my Hawk might have been on the writing
team or something. As time I read that, like I saw like a
bye line about that, like, yeah, Hawk was on not Animal was
working. I was on the show, right, So I think it.
I think it was Hawk. Yeah, that was on the writing team.
I don't know if that's true or not, but I read like a byeline
that was like that, that's why he was on the show. You know,
like I'm quoting you was saying that from now Yeah, no, you
should also quote me on the kissing my White Ass part. Yeah, the
Magnificent Seven were. By the way, Shane Douglass wanted me to try to
name. I'll run it down. I got it. You can know,
all right, Oh all right, Flair, Yeah that's okay. Is Luger,
Yeah, lucas a part of it. Yeah, Okay, Sting can't
be in. That had to be Animal, had to be Rick Steiner,
ricky Okay, Yes, and that's it. That's it. That's it.
That's seven. But there are there are associate associated members, so we got
like miss Elizabeth in there probably no no, okay, who who is associate
cat? No not the cat Miss Joe had no no no, sorry,
Chris Canyon, Chabel grow Junior, Mike Sanders, Medaysia and Team Canada of
Landstorm micas they were associated till they were fired. It was it was actually
started as the Magnificent like fifteen, and then they fired a bunch of changing
the number. That's a great idea that never happens in any stable. Does
you're right? Do you know what? They were also known as what?
Oh no, wait, Tony, I might know this, hold on,
damn it, Magnificent seven or the Oh no, I don't remember. I
know, I go for the Elite. Is that what you're gonna guess?
The Elite? Now? I know it was the Elite because it's also part
of my favorite Wednesday night programming, Elite Bros. So the ropes are red
again for thunder Dude. That is so fucking weird. The cold open,
by the way, it ends with Dusty Rhodes Trott. I don't know why
that happened. It just says American dream. Oh yeah, because he's like
he's going to be leading the pack against the Magnificent seven. Oh okay,
what's his stable call? Do you think the shitty? Yeah? For sure.
Well the ropes are red again for Thunder, which I still haven't heard
an answer about, because they filmed it during Nitro or whatever. Right during
Nitro they did a two hour thundertaping after guess nitybe maybe at the end they
were like fuck this. He said they didn't have any dates or whatever,
you know, so they probably have. Yeah, maybe I guess you're right.
There wasn't a under date lined up. Maybe they just did it alongside
this, I mean this real answer? Yeah is that that like they were
your lazy it didn't matter. Who cares companies dying. I don't care,
but there's got to be some someone there had to care. There had to
be like one person. It's like God, and you're fired. Yeah,
Like you're right, Like even if even a twenty point if like if they
do do it after if they do it after Nitro, like you can still
change the ropes. They changed. They forgot the ropes. Maybe they forgot
the ropes for a long time, Like the ropes are not the correct color
for loss. Yeah, maybe they did an overseas torn lost the thunder ropes
they did come from Australia. They do there it is it was it was
Jamie Kelner said red ropes and they said fuck Network and f ww es.
Jamie Kellner's fault. He's a bastard. But we're starting off tonight with Air
Raid versus the Young Dragons. Dude, why do I feel like I've seen
this because we fucking did. I was so confused I watched this. I
was like, how about zoos? Before we watched this on Patreon? By
the way, we watched had a lot of stuff on Patreon starting like PW,
so go check that out. But this match is still as good as
it was the first Air Raid is aj Styles by the way, and air
Paris if you guess air Styles, thank you. From what I understand,
WCW actually had like a working agreement with wild Side, but I think it
will have been but by this one, I think they didn't. So they
just like took all their dudes and just they get all their dudes back pretty
fucking soon. They can all lose a slim j aj Styles and air Paris
versus Jimmy Yang and Kasayashi. Yes, ye air Raid have the most based
the MU song of all time. It isn't that is fucking gnarly. Actually,
they got Primer fifty five loose. Apparently that was in a I don't
know if the Dave Mirror game or some fucking BMX games mentioned that one I
posted. But the song actually says in WCW watch these fuckers jump when I
get loose. So what's Yeah, it's in the actually really it's just like
it's just like, you know, you could barely hear it or either you
know, they probably don't get a long enough entrance for it to get to
that part too. Jamie Kellner didn't hear about it. Yeah, he hate
that guy. By the way, Prime Time Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo are
the current Cruise aweight Tag champions who defeated Raymon, Sirio and Kidman to win
the belt at Greed. By the way, Massiri and Kidman up until the
pay per view just before the match, we're told they were winning, and
then they told they weren't. So that was they weren't too happy about that,
but they still did business like trou professionals. Yeah, you know this
was a real They were really pushing this the whole show that this was a
renaissance, Like WCW is really going in on the cruiserweight stuff because they figured
out that these guys will do whatever they say, and then they'll also kill
themselves in these matches, and then they'll also will they can also go longer
and be more entertaining. It's like, why the hell are we you know,
why, you know we're already dying. You might as well, as
you know, pay people less and have them work harder. And they did,
and they did. They found out they could do longer matches and then
just have pay less people and just do it. Yeah, and they have
like the main events they would have go five, but the wrestles show you
go twelve. Yeah. Uh, Chris White belts are pretty interesting. They're
like a bird. They are like a bird. These ships are like a
bird. The bird. Shit. There you go, dude. Air Paris
looks like a ton of different wrestlers. He looks like Chris Harris, he
looks like Tony Momo. He looks like a bunch of guys. That's also
true. Yeah, so I mean he definitely in my head. Air Paris
looks different than this, but here he is in his red singlet. He's
does he like he may or may not also be on the Invasion show we
watched on Patreon. We're not too sure on paper those styles Paris Jimmy Yang
Kasaiyashi's a pretty crazy tag match you to open the show, and it was,
um, yeah, it was fun. You know. Styles takes up
belly to belly and the termbucco right off the shine. And that's what I'm
saying, Like, you know, the style is definitely changing around here,
which would have been interesting to see. I would have been style. I
would have loved to see, like the WCW when the work rate like start
kicking up, like over the next four years or so, the work rate
gets pretty insane, like WBS. You know, it has about two maybe
two years where the work rates like pretty high and then like they go back
to U you know whatever, Yeah, their events style or whatever you like
to you know, that was like Bishop's plan right with the Big Bang.
He wanted to bring in like ECW guys and like Workhorse was always his plan.
But I think it was gonna like have like RVDB like a main guy
or something was like, that's right, he was. I think we talked
about that. Yeah, that is right, but very interesting. I would
have loved to see what would have happened with this, especially if they like
kept around with like a J and Jimmy Yang and the CASA still working like
that, you know, would have been interesting. Um, But thankfully two
thousand and five came around and we got the best Ring of Honor shows of
all time for a good couple of years. So if there's probably people that
haven't seen any of that ship, which is fucking you really should do yourself
a favor and fucking watch two thousand and five, two thousand and six,
two thou seven roag dude, legit crazy shit. Yeah, it's like unbelievable.
Yeah, all the guys were working like crazy hard, like that was
the biggest things. Everyone's working super hard. They were working to have the
best match ever every night. So aj here they are. It has like
a lot of tag team moves that probably is like pretty different than most of
the tag team stuff that WCW was offering at the time. Um, just
simple stuff drop drop, toeholes. Swanton was a little variation of the elbow
drop, like legit just combining moves. Yeah, they did. The It
was like a fucking swinging double facebuster, which they call the crash a crushing
burn or crash which one it was, but crashing for two, which is
is a two man fuckbuster. It is a two man right. Yeah,
Styles does a just a cold I mean he he pops kinds up into a
power bomb and then turns into the Styles clash, but for a two and
nobody fucking sells it. Yeah, that was crazy to see. The fucking
two man fuckbuster reminded me of that move I showed you from Supercard Honor when
aj Gorilla Press like Jack Evans, Oh fucking just killed him, like like
launched him. Yeah, like a gorilla Press fucking Alabama slam. I think,
yes, that's right. That was crazy. Man. Come on man,
he's trying to bring the boys back. You know. On commentary they're
talking about this being the season finale of Thunder and coming up on Monday is
the season finale of Nitro. Uh and Bischoff invited all the former w B
champions to the show and who could show up. But this is the longest
season of all time. It wasn't a series. I guess they don't want
to say that for sure. They don't know though, but Air Paris hit
the Tyler Rex burning hammer in this joint he did, I know that was
fucking crazy. Jimmy Yang has his own key crusher, which I always thought
was good. He killed air Paris with that fucking thing too. I was
dope. AJ then does the fucking German suplex fuckbuster, dude, but it
doesn't like fuck him with it. He like takes his knees to it.
No, yeah, it's the it's the Roddy Strong versions. Eventually he changes
it to the wheelbarrow busy Roddy Strong version is really cool too. It isnarly,
but the fuck buster is tremendous. Jimmy Yang then drop kicks AJ out
of mid air and spinning heel kicks Air Paris. He goes up for his
patented Yang Time finish Yeah, which is a fire pro specialty of course,
and then AJ pushes him off. They go up for a power bomb neck
breaker. It looks like but there's a random crowd cut. So there's a
like a two k taking off your jacket because you did a run amount of
time and uh, they're all laying on the canvas when it comes back I
assume that it was countered into Rana onto air Paris, so like, yeah,
I assumed that they fucked the finish up big. So I feel like
this was probably the finish and like something happened, like something big, not
like a move. I was thinking in my head. I was like the
first time I watched this with you guys, I was like, yeah,
there's probably a move fuck up, but now it was sand a big fuck
up. Yeah, maybe fucked up the whole finish style. They were like,
Okay, we gotta cut like a minute from this ship, you know
what I mean. So you know, which is crazy because said you never
cut shit you they always have to botches in, so it's weird for them.
They made sure. Yeah, that's like I feel like something like catastrophically
with like like they rang the bell or something. It was the wrong finish.
They said, hey, guys, started again, and then like holy
shit. I think it was something like crazy, like to give a little
grediance that too, fucking like Jimmy Yang does like a shovel driver on the
floor that they just barely catch it, just does it cold on the floor,
and then Kat's actually beats aj with like a fucking reverse bulldog. I
don't know what you call this, like sling blade without the sling bad.
Yeah. Really you got fucking sugar shanting Holmes doing the verder breaker and the
other matches the ship. Yeah, man being nobody with a neck breaker.
Remember, a cluising right renaissance and neck breaker is not a finish. And
if I'm back there through the curtain when he goes back, I'm letting me
that. Well, he didn't take it, didn't He probably didn't listen too
long because the company dies in. Yeah, that is true. He just
said whatever neck breaker. Yeah. So it shows replays of w c W
Greed and Nitro, where, if you can believe it, Dustin Dusty put
their asses and donkey asses in Jeff Jarrett's face and Flair and Jarrett kisses donkeys
asses. They don't have donkeys asses. It is their own asses. But
there's also a shitty Burritos by the way, shitty Burritos ass with underwear and
donkey ass so much. Yeah, Dusty stink faced Jarrett at the paper you
shitty ass or not? And then they rubbed Jarrett and Flair's face onto a
donkey's ass on Nitro somehow we keep seeing this like this isn't even the last
time we see this. You see it again in two minutes for the donkey's
ass gets played more than like most people on this show, which is crazy.
It gets more time than the cruiser match we just watched. So now
it's time for the gold Dustin town Hall. Dustin comes out with the loudest
fucking dub of all time. I legit wrote the same thing, loudest dub
song, do the commentary k or the crowd audio, and he has a
bag in his hand, of course, and there is something fucking wrong with
this guy, right, like something's wrong here? Yeah, you know what
else is wrong? That they played the b roll of Flair and Jared kissing
the donkey's ass again Dustin, Because I don't know if you guys have seen
this or not. What is Let's roll that b roll one more time.
This is the third time that's shown it. He does say b role,
He says b roll, he does say roll shammick. He commentates over it
all. By the way, you imagine, I was right now, man
oh man, oh man, Dustin Dustin's gimmick of doing his dad's gimmick worse
sucks. It sucks. Give me black rain. They fucking they like cloned
dustin Roads, but a lot of the DNA got fucked up along the way,
and roll up. Come on, man, dude, Dustin Rhodes.
First of all, he's holding the mic really weird, he said, Man,
old man, old boy, Papa, I love you. I feel
a little bit bad for the nature boy whoa Rick Flair. And on the
other hand, I feel good because I shove Jeff Jarret's head and at an
ass to the chosen one. Well, nature boy, I got some stuff
for you. I think you'll enjoy these. And he reaches down. He
starts going through a bag, a prop bag. He brings out a prop
bag. Correct, he goes through the bag and he pulls out some kind
of what I thought was a gift. But what it is is Pin the
Nature on the Jackass. Shut the fuck up today, says, didn't we
see them on Monday. He explains the entire Pin the Nature on the Jackass
game, which you as you put the blindfold on, and he's been around
red Dizzy, you know, and take a little picture of Ric Flair right
here and put it on his ass, and you'll know when you get it
on his ass, because when you undo the blindfold, it's going to be
a hell a lot uglier. Anyway, Let's let's see what else we got
here. We got we got some chapstick. Everybody needs some chapstick when they're
gonna puck her up and get some asks. What the fuck? Oh,
Mike, why do you say a roods? Of course? That's why crazy?
At this point I said, I'm of course, I'm usually watching these
with deb and she says, she says, I'm glad thunder Dye. That's
what she was saying on the mike. That's what Jamie Kilner was saying.
Hate that guy, Dustin Rhodes pulls out mouthwash because God knows he needs it.
Who let the dogs out? Who? Shut up? Job? He
said, it'll be funnier who the dog? Who let the dogs? Started
stutter and now broke? Come on, well you back that ass up and
flare kissed it and flair one more thing like I reserved a special suite at
the holiday even just for you, just in case you and the silver Dollar
get a little too close for comfort, so you can have some fun.
If you know what I'm eating. What do you bought? Rick? Flair
a room. That was nice of you, so he could fuck a donkey.
Well he'll never be at the room. He'll be in the bar downstairs,
so don't worry about that, buddy. You didn't even need the key.
Well Flare is here though, James, Oh, yes, he's here,
not physically or mentally. He's at the Holiday Inn right now, the
room. Thanks to the room. He does silver dollars to maybe stop talking
about a minute, so he cut this problem so fun. Flair is on
the tron in his shirt, spiky hair, and he is fla is the
most unhinged Flare that's ever existed. Do you hear me? Do you see
me? Did you enjoy Monday night? Dusty Dustin Rhodes is arguing with them
right to everything. Yes, do you know who I am? Do you
think it made you a big deal? I know it did. Do you
think that impressed people around the world? I don't. I don't have to
impress anybody. And Flaire says, do you think what you did impress people
around the world. I'll ask you a question. You had to be bored
and then dust the Rhodes walks in the Ropes leans on it. What was
that I'm asking you if you think what you did to me and it chose
the one made people run the wall left. Oh hell, yes, this
goes on forever. Flair is fucking genuinely losing his fucking mind, yelling,
screaming, getting somehow. It's like not really a full color shot, but
you can tell how red his face is getting. He's lost his fucking marbles.
Yeah, no, I mean the spiked hair is crazy. Like that
spike hair, ri Clair is crazy and like him not coming to Thunder is
literally insane. He's the CEO of He says he's a CEO. He's gonna
make Dustin's life miserable, so he knows dives the company sells at events,
and that tells dust to go with Claire got the last laugh on that one.
I will say that the shot they have here at the back of Dustin's
head looking at this tron is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire
life. And Flair is so close to the camera at one point he's flipping
out. And then Dustin starts fucking talking, and Flair is so I don't
know if he's just not sure what to do that he starts looking at the
camera, then looking at his monitor and goes back and forth like six times
rapidly, and it's fucking the crazy. He's can't believe what Dustin's saying.
It's back at Dustin's head bobbing around on that shit is funny asself Flair saying
he's facing Jared and Steiner Knight apparently in a handicap match, right um,
and Jared, of course, is known as the technician, which of course
everybody knows that, right Jared is the technician. That's what he's always been
known as. Steiner has hurt more people than anyone else in the in the
last year. It's crazy, and he's in a bad mood. Scott Steiner's
in a bad mood. He's gonna reach outside and he's gonna hurt you.
At the end of this, he just starts fucking like fucking don Vito,
it's the best ever, Like this is this. If they didn't do the
beginning part, like if we didn't do the prop bag, if we didn't
do thet it was just the end he aim It's literally amazing. So like
the last bit of this is fantastic. So Dustin, if it would have
started with like Flair saying, I'm gonna make your life miserable tonight. Here
you're not talking, don't talk, said you stop it. He got that.
But here at the end of this, Dustin puts up the four horsemen
fucking hand side and and and Flair looks at him on the run and he
says it says, do you know what this says? A Flaire says,
yeah, I know what that is. And he said, no, that's
there for four horsemen. It stands for kiss my daddy's ass. And Flair
unbelievable, dude, it's funny as fuck. Man. That is like,
genually one of my favorite Rick Flair things I've ever seen. He you gotta
give it to him. The motherfucking guy took this at least a shittiest angle
ever he tried. And yeah, he took it and tried to do something
with it, you know what I mean. And like the reaction to him
and saying the four horsemen, the disrespect of the four horse was a last
law for Ric Flair. Kiss my daddy's Yeah, dude, that by the
way, this is like, I don't I don't know if we've kept track.
This is an unbelievable amount of strikes for Dustin Rhodods. Oh yeah,
like he struck. He struck out the second he brought the pot bag.
THU, yeah, immediately. Yeah, he's done unbelievable amount of strike.
That might be a walled record strike out. Yeah, he had no chance
really like bringing the bringing the natche on the jackass thing out and then the
chaps ticket. Well he said, who lets a dog out? That was
it? Like the company was shutting down at that point. Jimmy Kellner said,
all right, all right, all right, we got he's probably watching
on the monitor. That bag is all right, well, let's see this.
This this little the show is gonna dictate what happens to his company.
Dustin walks out with the bag. He says, let me see, let
him cook, let him cook. He pulls out the nature on the jackass.
I look at these aids. I got the chat sakes that I put
the finger over the big red buttons because of shut down wc W. And
he says, who let the dog? Jown the dogs out? He was
fucking slamming that ship. That's it, crazy man, that's it was was
right, not on cartoon network. I'll tell you that, brother. No,
no fucking adults with him. No way, Well here we go.
We got Jason Jet versus Cash. Dude. Okay, first of all,
I was like, oh, easy Money. That's awesome because I like easy
Money. He's money looking bastard is Yeah, it is Jason Jett. Sorry,
yeah, no, yeah, for sure. I just want to make
sure that he's fucking sweet. He does a lot of cool moves. Hangman's
entire moveset is easy Money. It is. And then his opponent comes down.
They're saying, making his debut here, it's fucking kid Cash. I
said, what but just cash, just cash, No, not kid and
just c a sh and I was like, holy shit, I had no
idea that kid Cash worked here. Ever, no, I did not.
This is one and only match, by the way, in w ever he
does everything he has. It is awesome. This fucking match kick so much
as I was losing my mind, I was like, wow, I wish
we watched this for watch this. Yeah, sou is now just cash and
easy Money is now Jason Jet, whose gimmick is he's a slo or something.
He comes out hearing really fast bloody pants. Yeah it was a freaking
ecw right, but you know, now he's just a slut. But yeah,
so he's three to note right now. Um, they got I believe
they fucking got him from. I don't think they got him from uh ECW.
Actually, I think I think it was a wild Side thing. Okay,
yeah, because he was still he was still rocking the wild Side Skyfire
thing. It was on his pants. I was like, why is that
on his pants? They don't even call him that, But I guess it's
more like, look, man, you know this is the gear I got.
We don't know what. Yeah, you know, you don't have a
contract, you know just where you got um, but you have big ECW
chance to start this one off immediately immediately, which is crazy, Like I
feel like I don't hear that very much on WCW, I guess compared to
WWF, you know, just because they don't run up there that often,
you know. Sure, Um, but yes, I mean kick cash flipped
to the outside off the top rope. Already knew right away when I saw
that are they're working to night. Somebody's getting hurt and this got time.
Yeah, yeah, that was cool. I don't know, I think gave
it eight It felt like it though, But they fucking did really, Yeah,
I feel like they did a lot of stuff here. I won't say
it was. I won't say I enjoyed it a lot, but it was.
I feel like the pacing was low off, but they did a lot
of shit here that was really cool, and I enjoyed that they were working
hard. You know. Fucking kid Cash does a summersault over the post onto
Easy Money on the floor. I was like, oh my god, what
the fuck is going on? Easy Money hits the shock wave, which is
the buckshot lariat, and then immediately does a standing move salt for two.
Five move names. He is the move name guy. He is so fucking
many. Uh. He does like a leap to the top rope jump back
summer salt. That's kid Cash does that for a two. US Cash goes
for a sunset out of the corner. Easy Money catches on the hits the
fucking Crunchy for two. I don't know what his name for that. I
don't think they named Crunchy. Yeah, that's what I did do. Kid
Cash does a double jump RNA easy Money for two. This crowd does not
care, but I'm losing my mind, dear dude. It randomly goes to
the crowd at one point and you see the most two thousand and one ass
dude ever. He's got the fucking I think that guy later become slim jade
into dude. Easy Money ducks a clothesline, then hits maybe the best handspring
back elbow I've ever seen, super snappy yea for a guy his size too.
A lot of guys go super slow into him. He just threw his
ass into it and it went for it. I liked it, and I
was called the afterburner. By the way, what was his explex called.
I know it had a name, Fresh Landing, crash Landing, that's right.
Well, he goes for that kid Cash cameras it this whole match.
By the way, I'm like, okay, kid Cash is getting a lot,
He's getting a lot. There's no fucking way he's hitting the money maker
in this match. There's no way. There's no way he's doing a fucking
Tiger Trover. Well, he knew the company was ending, so he said,
Eddy, you know what the money maker friend too, And then I
was like, oh my fucking god, this is so fucking sick. And
then Easy Money fucking throws he does the x xplex crash Landing throws Kid Cash
straight the fucking hell and beats him. I was like, Wow, why
does this company have to die now? They were just about to have the
Cruiser right renaissance So sick bro. That match was crazy just for w SEW
standards, Like, I thought that match was awesome. I was blown away.
I was like, this is so fucking fun. So we go backstage.
Rick Flair is talking to Rick Steiner. He is apologizing to Rick Steiner
about what happened. I don't know. Yeah, I think it was maybe
to do with Buff blaming him for Lex Lucer getting jump last week. Yeah,
they accused Rick Steiner being the attacker or like he's like the guy who
attacked or whatever. Yeah, so I think Rick Steiner is or is not
in the Millionaire Millionaires Club the fucking hate now he is Henificent seven, so
they think they think he might be the attacker or what you what do you
think of the afflic they should before this for the main the Dustin Rhodes and
Jeff Jarrett Scott Steiner graphic with Scott Steiner, who didn't show up for the
fucking shocking classic w duh. I feel like one guy shows up for the
promo picture. The other guy doesn't every swear we talked about this, but
if we did. The time the things, there's always one in ring shot
in one promo, like it's Scott Stunner because he wore like the turtleneck the
one time we know he does. Do we know who the attacker was supposed
to be? Oh, I don't know if this is. It's not ever
revealed because they because they closed down, but they're definitely was probably like someone
had to have had some idea of what you know what I mean, yeah,
the rock I don't know. I must see if I can do some
research here the magnif James. That might be the first time anyone's ever asked
a uh yeah someone maybe somebody knows somebody let us know who was the Magnificent
seven attacker? To keep looking because there's all these articles. I know,
there's a million articles, and I'm like looking through them and I found like
I just see them talking about the group. I don't see, but my
guess is Sting. Okay, they said that it could have been Kevin Nash
Goldberg or Sting, Kevin ash Goldberg, Brett Hardway, Rick and Flair attacked
himself seven. David Flair. What if it was seven attacking the Magnificent seven.
Oh fun? Yeah, the trenches now a head Jamie Jim Kellner,
he said, no way, he saw seven was going to attack seven.
He shut it down. He said, we're down here, So we go
backstage. The Cat with Missus Jones is talking to m I Smooth. Of
course, I love that fucking name. I didn't know I we must have
talked about this before, and every time I forget that am I Smooth is
ice train. Yeah, this is always forget. I had to. I
actually think the promos and shit they do are always really good. The matches
are, you know, whatever, but the actual promos are funny. Like
Cat is a funny guy. Man, he is funny. He's fuck he's
super funny. Here. Yeah, am I smoos slaps him on the chest
and like they're they're having a conversation about what they're going to do to night
and their tag team match. They might slaps him on the chest and he
says we're gonna take him out, and the Cat says, yeah, I
watch that chop though, we are gonna take him out. Yeah, I
guess Canyon did something. Like they're talking about Canyon fucking took a forklift,
and that's what I was going to ask about. Yes, he used a
forklift and flipped over am I smooth Limo, and then he tried to take
out Miss Jones. I don't know I can take Miss Jones like oh doctor
Yeah, and the four D DP style yeah yeah, of course it always
with the DDP forkliff. Yeah, he's got the certain brother. You could
do whatever you want for certified and that's how he was super Bag Mortists.
Maybe Mortist is here. Mortist comes up in a minute, Ye ye,
maybe it has happened. That might be up by now. So who does
history of wrestling? Maybe it happened to w Yeah yeah, Kat says happening
happening in the Big Bang Universe is coming out in three let's go, Yeah,
the Big Bag Universe. It's common. Cat tells Smooth that he's got
to stay cool, and Swimom says I'm cool, and Kat said, you
mess this up, I'm gonna have to beat your ass and says guys tonight
as we in you versus Animal in Canyon, which my eyes bolts into my
head at this at this matchup, potentially that Swoom says, we're gonna take
him out. We're gonna take him out. And like James said, he
slaps his chest, he's watch that choppy. We are gonna take him out.
I'm gonna call my mom. I'm gonna call my mama and then call
your mama, and Swim says, and then we're gonna call they mom's and
pick him up. We're gonn take him out. Yeah. So, man,
we get Canyon and road Warrior Animal. Who are I think representing the
Magnificent seven. He's just he's affiliate. He's like he's part of the other
girls, liaison liaison to the Yeah. So it's Canyon a road warrior animal
versus cat and in my smooth with Miss Jones and Canyon apparently use a forklift
flew over in my smooth Lima, which is why I'm here. He comes
up through the Cody Vader. Yeah. Yeah, dude, Canyon with jacket
where he turns around and there's nothing on the jacket, nothing back jacket and
no Firo. This is crazy? Are you doing? Um? This was
my deadlock plus ten? We can come. An animal comes out the iron
Man. I am iron Man. I think fourteen people in w everyone.
Yeah, animal comes out to a anti pop somehow like Elop. That's well,
if you remember the synthing where animals showed up, I showed you the
picture of it, but there was like a huge reveal of like a guy
mystery man coming into W's w and then it was an animal. Everyone was
ship on the whole angle. Dude, no way, I'm sure pop that's
on nitro. By the way, animal hit m I Smooth with a DDT
and helped Canyon beat him and then the cat beat both their asses. So
that's that um of the match. It should have been my deck clock watch
I did watch. I saw I thought, uh, you know, am
I Smooth? I feel like either Biggie or takes like Inspirace. Remember Smooth,
It's like, I'm like, what the hell are you doing? The
splash and everything and everything that his whole move said is the same treating I
just treating it and fucking Scott Norton were a sick tag team. So did
you like this match? No fair enough? Did you have any favorite moments
from the match. It's like, am I Smooth? I was like,
yeah, he's doing all the people. He was like the best part it
was there was a crowd in the front of crowd. There was a sign
in the front row. I don't know that. Jamie Collner didn't know either.
There was a sign in the front row that said please put the cat
to sleep, and he threw a kick at it. I like that.
I did see that part. Did you see animals outfit at least? James?
Um no, I just saw the Bret Hart singlet that he started to.
Didn't see it. Yeah, they finished the entrance. He still had
his gimmick on his said physically, Um, yeah, they don't really do
much here. I mean it's heat and then Cat does some stuff. They
break up some pins uh, and then Smooth hits a power slam on Canyon
for two as animal and cat are fighting on the floor, and then Cat
trips Canyon in the ring and Smooth hits a standing splash uh and gets to
win. So yes, very basic. It was at least nine minutes though.
What the dirt chees we're talking about at the time where they you know,
they give wrestlers time on WW and then the yeah yeah but in my
smooth pretty cool. I straight love it, love it. Yeah, I
am I Smooth should get another run. I think him in the ride back
would be a great team. Am I hungry? Is this new thing?
So it recaps Hugh Morris and Rick Steiner for their upcoming match. And I
have realized that I have wasted my plus tim moment of the night. Did
I use one on this show? I must have. I don't know where
I used it though I don't remember. I might have been just too might
shut off. I blacked out. So yeah, we do. We actually
do get Hu Morris versus Rick Steiner. Rick Steiner with little tiny sunglasses.
Yeah, so Conan is also with Hugh Morris. This is this is forgotten
by time and should be forgotten by us, and not why. This is
because Conan is here to provide unity and togetherness between the troops and WCW Wrestling
as they take on Rick Flair in the Magnificent Seven. And thankfully, James,
because I didn't plus tend this, I kind of He's right, you
only get one. Not only that, James Tonay puts over that the unity
of the WCW locker room has They've been coming together lately with the professed heart
and soul and locker room leader Humorris conand Hue Morris. I've been putting the
locker room together, locker room leader Hugh Morris, and it's time. They
could have won the invasion if they had a Hugh Morris as the leader of
the Conan wasn't there. That was the missing piece. Well, it shows
her husband with his wife and kid in the crowd that that was nice.
Don't bring her around DDP outside of Yeah, So this match sucks, man,
it's bad. This is a this is a hardcore no d Q matchers.
I'm sure Nicky J just uses rep discretion here and lets everything go dud
tony. It actually gets worse later onto the show. It actually gets egregious
in Palumbo's match. Well, Rick Styder does the Olympics lamb, the Rick
Styer last under. Rick Styler does the Olympics lamb and then looks out of
the crowd and says, your mother, your brother, your says to your
mama, I replayed that like many I said, you suck. He ran
out of as he was trying to rip off Scott Steeves broad It's not happening.
Was this is super trun to happen. It is not happening. So
Rick Steiner sets up the fucking pelmanizes on Humors's arm because he's been doing this,
fellas. This is the thing that he has been doing. He's looking
to kill everyone's arms. So guess what, Yeah, okay, he fucking
this is so strange. He gets in the ring, he pulls the ref
in the way to because Humors is about to splash him in the corner.
He kicks the ref is distracted, so he kicks Humorris in the balls.
He goes out of the way to distract the ref to kick Humorris in the
balls, and then he played the ref would have called it, which we
find out very quickly that would call, but he wasn't gonna call it because
he goes on the ring and gets a chair and then hits him with it
in front of the REV. And the ref does not care. He does
not care at all because the discretion of the ref says that there's an angle
that we have to do, and there's a running that's kind of happened.
So it's even worse. It's he presses his angle. So he puts fucking
Humors's arm in the chair and he's fucking going to break his arm because Rick
Steiner is the arm breaker. And Shane Douglas comes out because he says,
Shane, come out, you don't like me, bite May And Shane Douglas
comes out here in an arm cast dress, says WW commentator in a future
TNA Backstays interview, he comes out in an arm cast, and and Rick
Steiner arm cast because a lot of men steer. So Douglas hits Rick Steiner
in the head with the cast. After a lengthy fights between the two a
while and as he sorry James one second just before you so why the fucking
ref thing is even crazier? He lets him fucking use a chair. He
let him low blow him the ref While Rick Steiner and Shane Douglas are fighting,
the ref is doing a tug of war with Hugh Morris over the chair
and takes it from him, so he can't be so he hits Douglas,
hits Rick in the head with the cast, which he didn't see coming somehow,
Yes, Hugh Morris. Then German suplexes Rick is close to the fucking
apron as possible, as much on his head as he could. Hugh Morris
ends up winning the match. It's fucking unbelievable, the fucking the unity and
togetherness of the troops of w CW. It's finally starting to come together here
on the last thunder. Where is Conan? You're right? Where did he
go? I thought he was out here with him. Did we miss the
man? I guess he must have like ran out or something. I don't
know. Well, they one other way to find the only section of three
people that were celebrating after Humors that was Morris's family. It wasn't and they're
very happy. And I hear that Humorris's wife has been awarded the loudiest and
rowdiest Perwood to go backstage to meet DDP. Awesome and good for Morris's wife.
Oh so yeah. Shane Douglas is still out there by the way,
and he hands David Penser a videotape the ring announcer he hands He comes out
to hand the ring announcer a videotape by the way. Shane Douglas is out
here and could just say the promo, dude, he could say the promo
or he could have given the truck the tape. He just gives Dave Penzer
like he's gonna do something with it. I pens on the run to the
truck and the back handed to him for the commercial was over. That's what
they say. They say he went to the back and it's all cute up
now, Oh, thank you, David Pezer. So we go to the
pretap, we go to the VHS that Douglas has this more serious tape whatever
it could be? What is it? Yeah, what could it be?
It's an out of focus Shane Douglas promo. Dude, blurry Shane Douglas tripod,
crooked tripodcamera, very blurry, dude. All the promo shots, by
the way, have what do you call that? The like where it's over,
yes, and all the promos have this yes because that's a Brick Flair's
documentary he's doing with the Magnificent Seven. Shane Douglas was two. Yeah,
it was a lot of documentaries used to understand what they were. Do you
understand the vision? But you can go to motion array dot com and get
this overlay. I'm pretty so. Yeah. Shane Douglas calls out Rick Steiner
because he took his United States heavyweight title and he broke his arms his arms,
which one thing someone should pill When I was two arms on the arms
and then have to come out and trying to fight with that, I like
that. What happened to Chris Candido. I swear he did something like that.
No, he just had a fucked up bice up forever for real.
Sure, Okay, but for some reason I have in my mind I feel
like I remember having two armed cas in TNA. Maybe I'm making that up.
Why I hope it's real, because I did to see that. I'll
have to try to find it. Why was this blurry? Just because because
he focused it, as in, he was doing the promo right in front
of the camera, so it was a manual focus. So he backed up
to do the promo and it was funny blurry. No, nobody he gets
because he gets like real close at the end of the promo and then it's
in focus when he's talking. I was on purpose. I don't know that.
I don't think anything on the show is on purpose. I think that's
just how it ended up. Don't get focused camera or even just have someone
filmed for you. Why do you say just turn onto focus? How watch
it and say hey this is blurry? Or just got the problem in the
ring? You know? He just both of them. Well, Shan Douglas
is like a time he takes a beating and he keeps on ticket. What
Yeah, try Shane Douglas. It's like a time Max watch he takes the
beating, it keeps on ticket. Try the franchise, dog Face Grimlin and
I also want to have a match for Rick Flair. I've a waited fifteen
years. Nature boy uh And as Tony said, he gets close to the
camera and it looks like he's Ai upscaled Shame Douglass. Very strange. So
now it's time for the Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo and Chavo Guerre Junior versus
Ray Masterio Junior, Billy Kidman and Sugar Shame hal six may attack do it
now? That is so crazy. This sound by has got so much work,
used it so much. Ray Masterio comes out with half ray Masterial,
half mankind mask on very that was nuts and then he takes it all.
What are you doing? Shane Helms comes out and they played ten different songs,
the loudest fucking music ever. It's so loud, so mixed like shit,
just whatever. They turn it out the fucking like no one in this
crowd has reacted all night, but there's no fucking constant going on the whole
fucking night, and so they turned that up three percent to match the three
hundred percent dubbed Sugar Shane Helms song. That's yes, dude, It's like
they put no effort into dubbing this whatsoever. No way, they just had
to cover up the vertebreaker song, which is the sweet song break. Yeah,
it's a song you should workshop James. You do like that twenty twenty
three remix Sh'll Get Me Started. Ye, I'm in my music. Raw
Billy Kidman was in his black tank top era here, which felt strange,
and Shane Helms with not an ounce of green on him also felt weird.
Yeah, that was weird. Also dubbed Shane Helms with the girls was crazy.
They were dancing to ten different songs and crazy crowd audio. Kid Romeo
and Shane Helms are slapping the absolute funk out of each other right in front
of the camera in the corner. I thought that was sweet. You know
what's crazy in this match is like, especially Elie Skipper who in Ray Mysterio,
A lot of these guys get a lot better, Like I feel like
they, you know, they really ironed it in and they get a lot
better. But the idea of like a cruiseweight match for a lot of these
guys that were that were in WCW for a long time was We're just gonna
do a bunch of Josh cross bodies to the floor. They all of them
do it. Yeah, it's literally the whole matches just Josey cross bodies.
But the fucking uh like the beginning with like air raid and stuff, like
you can see that style starting to take over style right, and like these
guys feel like this match felt like ancient ancient cureweight stuff. They're like air
raid and like you know, kid Cash and shit are going like crazy in
the in the first two cruiseweight division. Yeah, you're right, that's a
good way to put it. Actually didn't think, but you're right. It
doesn't feel exactly like then like Shane Helms was. I feel like Shane Helms
was like an in between phase of that where like he could hang with like
you know, fucking you know air styles and shit like that, but he
also was from the closer to the era of the OG, so he was
like it's crazy. He also his superkick is called the Sugar Smag, which
dude tons of super kicks. Kid Romeo taunt spamming in this match like crazy
Shane Helms does a cross armed execution. Uh. The Ray tags in crowd
is on fucking fire from his first time. They woke up the whole show
so far, Ray get started into the ropes and then Skipper hits him from
behind. Then Skipper hits like an across the rings springboard, clothesline array.
It looked like he cleared the length of the ring. It was nuts.
You gotta I mean, you know, we talked about it a little bit
earlier, but you gotta fucking wonder what was going with their head. And
maybe they were like, we can make a Skipper in Romeo, but ring
Stereo is like a ten year fucking guy here, Billy Kidman being three times
in a row, Like, you don't want to give these guys the cruiser
tackles? Yeah? Really? Yeah? The only thing I go on,
Tony, I'm sorry, I say, didn't they win they don't win him?
Who's the second tag champion? Don't they win him? On Nitro?
Yeah? So they and Kidman get him, right, I want to say
so, but maybe if they win him, yeah, I feel like they
went so I don't know, maybe their original plan the titles and then they're
dead already because the company, I feel like they the plan was to like
you know, make the new team or whatever, but then like they were
like sure. Then I think they were like, yeah, well we made
a bad decision. Yeah they watched kid Romeo and they're like fuck again.
He stopped charing. Dude speaking of Kidman. Hell crazy is his fall from
like going to Hogan. Now he's back in the Cruisewade stuff like he was.
I guess, to be fair, you're right, Tony, But I
think also like the idea was that that these guys were taking over the show,
so like it wasn't a demotion as much as it was like, let's
get him into the mix with everybody else. But if they were going to
do that, Tony, they should. That's what I'm saying, is like
Ray Stary and Billy Commission fucking just won the tag belt. Everyone wanted it
anyways, right yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. So
yeah, like I said, Elix Hipper and Elix Hipper, by the way,
looks incredible here, he looks incredible. For the next ten years,
he probably still looks the same, like I imagine probably does. Right.
Ray goes for a wheelbarrow. Bulldog on Skipper, but Skipper catches him and
dumps them on his head with a dragon soup plex. Dude, what the
fuck? Maybe that's why they game in the tag titles. Whoever's went fucking
Skipper could get the belts. Chava goes for Tony's favorite move, which is
the gory bomb on Ray that move they break their wrists or form or whatever
happened in that way. Yes, oh fuck, yeah, you're damn man.
Yeah, man, sorry, bro, I'm glad we have like a
Tony hated move now, like that's that's like in the lore. You know
it was need I mean, I could understand the overdrive, but the glory
Bomb come fuck you, Glory Special is even worse than is holding my head.
I don't know if I have you have to have one. I'm sure
someone probably knows mine more than I know mine. Maybe maybe every one of
your videos. Yeah, like short elbow drop from SBR or something like that.
It's gotta be some fucking British move. I'm sure he looks. Er
does go for the play of the day here, which is the overdrive,
but he does not hit it, thankfully, but kid Romeo gets the hit
play the play of the Day doesn't get like a pass for you. It's
gotta be like, is it only the ones called the only driver or a
Day? Was Actually he actually did it good. I thought I thought it
was. He was like the guy to do it. Yeah. Yeah,
if if if there was anybody that I did enjoy doing it, it was
he looks Skipper. But that is like you know this, you know it's
still shitty. Rainy RNs was horrible. Hillo Skippers was just it was a
good guy doing a bad move, which I accept. The other two was
not. I guess he guess the pass. Well. Kidman heads to the
top after Shane Helms suplex Kid Romeo and he hits his patented diving elbow drop
off the stop rope. Look at that and at one point they all of
them do dives to the floor, which are legit all cross bodies. I
think maybe Ray did a summer Yeah, you're right, dude, it's I
was like, damn, I was hoping somebody would do something nutty, but
they probably saw the first and second match and said, ah, there it
goes. Helms calls for the vertebreaker on Kid Romeo, but Chavo flips him
over to save him. And then Kid Romeo does a bunch of taunts and
goes for the last kiss, which I don't know what that is, but
it's another fucking named move for Kid Romeo. But Kidman floats over and hits
the kid Crusher, which is a jumping on Prettier for the win. Yellow.
I think the I think what we said about the ancient cruiser weight stuff
is pretty true here. Yeah, you're right, it wasn't It wasn't bad.
It's in the big first year, Billy Kim be the champions. You're
right, that's true. So it shows are our big bang, the real
one? Yeah, okay, that's coming. So it shows Rick Steiner backstage
throwing shit around backstage, she's all pissed off in shame quarter style. Yeah,
this is on the documentary. Who's filming this the Rock? No,
it's the Kid Stage. It's the Kid Cam. Oh GTV, Yeah,
Jake David, it's gotta be what's that one? Uh qt marsh out A's
QTV or something. Oh, yeah, that's right. So we go backstage
Chuck Palumbo and Shanno harr here like they're gonna have a horrible match tonight tomorrow.
The next we kill every time. Actually, this is crazy how that
works. There is a weird moment where Tony Shavanni says, I thought it
worked during the promo. Yeah, during the promo in the middle, I
thought it worked. This is the same as funny as fun This is the
same exact spot that kat and and my Smooth were also cutting their promo.
Oh that's cool. Yeah, you know, you know, just a heads
up for anybody who ever has to do this or think about it. You
know, you can just turn the guys to the left, Yeah, the
same exactly the opposite way. That's very easy. Or you just put up
some pipe and drape somewhere. It works, do they do? W Just
take three steps to the left and turn you do? What's Chuck Palumbo talking
about? Palumbo says, I hear you tell you, Sani, But we
have a match to night, and I'll tell you one thing, Mike Awesome,
I'm gonna beat your ass. And if land Storm interferes, because of
course team can al right, guys, of course Shano Hair will have my
back, ye say, and you damn sure know what that means. He
also says, Mike Awesome camp is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier because
he thinks he's gonna beat him here on Thunder. He's also talking often to
the distance. He's not talking to Sean O'Hair or to anybody's talking to the
documentary filmer. So WCW Thunder is sponsored by cash or GTX. Well maybe
they showed it for a second. I didn't actually say it or announced or
whatever. I usually write that down and I didn't see that. You must
have a lower third or one. Do they say anything or no? If
they just show it, maybe that's why they're sponsor. Nobody wanted to sponsor
ww They never talked about him. Yeah, usually have the pet boys replay,
right? Hell yeah? So Chuck Palumbo versus Mike Awesome. Mike Awesome
is the Canadian Killer, which sounds like gimmick and frings be to me,
brother, interesting match up, pavor right, guys, Yeah, I gotta
be dude. I need to know what the cage match rating is. For
this match to be six zero, nobody six. Someone had to a rate
it, bro Maybe there wasn't like a bunch of ratings and somebody had to
rate It's not rated what? No, one don't unless this is a different
one. Click on the right, click on it, look on the right.
Oh, I got a dude, did you just rate this? Is
this? Forget about it? Dude? It was a sense match, I
mean the word rating and the guy probably said it worked hard. It wasn't
great. Palumbo had his restrictions. Mike also tried to work around it,
and by the end of it, you know, the match suck this sense
Yeah that works. I mean, that's welcome to the inmates. He said,
it's one of the better, if not the best, Chuck Blumbo match.
He's scene. Well, that's probably right, probably, dude. This
match needs to be studied. Yeah, so right off the get go here
Mike Awesome, springboard clothesline to the floor, sling shot, awesome splash.
Look after after they throw punches back and forth and Plumbo gut wrench soup gut
wrench souplexes him cold just to start the match. Mike Awesome is the heel.
He is the heel. Right, springboard clothes line to the floor,
sling shot, Awesome splash is how he starts his cut off into his heat.
A bunch of heat here from Awesome, which is dad Chuck Palumbo invents
the sliding school boys for two this, Uh, I guess like he Okay,
Palumbo is not very good at this point, right, So Mike Awesome,
Mike Awesome is like begging this guy to do something in this heat,
and he just doesn't have it. He just doesn't have it. He's he
has nothing. Um. They go to the outside for a bit because for
whatever reason, they give him ten tonight. Mike Ausom grabs a chair,
okay, and he and the ref is staring at both of these men all
right. As he does this. Chiovanni is on commentary talking about the ref
is allowing this to continue and not counting because he's being lenient. And then
he was being extremely lenient, some would say not paying attention, might because
his job is off. So he grabs the chair, Mike Awsom does.
He fucking tries to hit Palumbo straighten the head with it as hard as he
possibly could. This was to knock a chair shot that would have put Palumbo
into three separate hospitals if he didn't get his hands. Now, to be
fair, too Awesome, this is probably receipt because from what I understand,
Palumbo, whenever he would punch would hit the ship. Yah, just the
same thing. Yes, So he fucking goes for the big chair. Shot.
Palumbo then puts his fucking hands up like a Marvel character, literally like
X in the air, shields himself from the fucking chair shot straight up,
then grabs the chair. I don't know if this was even called because Mike
Awesome, dude, this was had to have been a shoot. Like he
like blocks the chair, and I think that's probably where it was supposed to
be over with. But then he grabs the fucking chair and swings it as
hard as he can at Awesome. Awesome ducks and he ducks slams it into
the back of Mike Awesome. He still gets hit. Yeah, and then
they like kind of grappled each other and then it's done for me. They
go back in the ring and Awesome's up. They go back to doesn't it
didn't happen? Right, it didn't happen. And dude, I swear that
was a shoot and I was losing my mind. That was crazy, man.
Yeah, two big guys in here just going nuts. He loved it.
Yeah, this, I mean I liked it. I like that part,
sure, Palumbo, I mean, there's some heat for you. But
here's here's where it fell apart. Big style. So the match was like,
you know, awesome fucking cut off is crazy. You know, he's
just boring at this. Yeah, heat, heat, heat, outside,
fucking crazy chair shut. I'm fired up. I'm like, okay, what's
next. So they go back in the ring. Awesome's up, Palumbo's about
to start his comeback. Palumbo's big moves are like he does I overhead,
belly to belly. He does a drop kick, which Chavanni says every time
they see it, they are amazed at this amazing drop kick. Mike Awesome
probably does a better drop kick than that everyone does. Mike Awesome goes for
the awesome splash, but Missus he takes forever up there, like he's concussed.
He's probably hoping that he remembers he's supposed to move. Yeah, you're
right. Um. So, then, of course land Storm comes down because
oh my god, that's his boy. How could this happen? And he
interferes and then what did my man say earlier backstage? I don't know,
Oh wait no, yeah, land Storm interferes. Shano hair will go,
so he does say Landstorm interferes, and then air attacks him from behind a
little late by the way, it was a little late all the way.
So he comes out and jumps Lansom. At the same time Mike Awesome is
launching Chuck Plumbo through the sky with a drum zu plex. This is like
one of those moments where like wrestling needs the two entrances because like, you
know, in reality, like why is Shanow Hair not standing at Gorilla being
like no fucking way. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean,
which is, you know, big props to TNA for doing a double as
made sense. It was awesome. Um So anyways, yeah, Hair comes
in and attacks him from behind. Palumbo catches Mike Awesome in a power slam
in mid air from the top. He goes for a pin but then just
doesn't pin him. Dude, he fucking he doesn't pin him, which made
me think Shawn Ohren's Storm, We're supposed to get involved there or something,
because he's staring out at them fighting, so like shann of heron Lanser Brawl
on the floor, Palumbo is looking at them like a fucking lost child.
Then he picks Mike Awesome up. Oh no, michaels them, stands up
and Irish whips Plumbo and then Palumbo hits him with the jungle kick. The
power slam off the top, by the way, would have been a great
finish. It was very cool. It would have been a great finish.
It's a legendary finish. This happened a lot. It's always cool when it
happens, especially when you got two fucking huge guys, right, sweet well,
Palumbo picks him, picks He fucking stands back up. Actually, Plumbo,
Yeah you're right, dude. Legit fucked it up too, because it
blew my mind that awesome Just Gold stands on. Ye, well, he
said, fuck it if you're not gonna pin me if I'm not so,
yeah, you're right. Fucking what's he call it? The jungle kicks superkicker?
Another super kick? There you go. Land Storm also has one,
by the way, who's also in this match involved. Shane Helms was in
the match shot here. Also, I think does something else? I think
you're also right, Yeah, that's true. But anyways, so he hits
them with it, but then he taunts afterwards, that's right to make sure
that Mike Alston looks like as much shit as she really possible. Hundred percent
holy. That reminds me of let's playing no mercy where I hit the stunner
and then the fucking middle figures out there. He would stop doing that ship
to be tony, he would fucking him me when a moving taunt every god
damn time, the rolling stunt, the rolling fingers. No, he was
doing the one where he drops in the knees and goes it shakes his head.
Dude, that was the funniest. That shit makes me laugh every time.
I got to push the down town and do the rolling fingers. That's
the best. No, that's the finisher one, I think right, the
downtown is getting the knees. I think that. Okay, yeah, that
one have a finisher, right right, yeah you can hit down ok yeah
yeah, but yeah the fucking taunt after I was like that was so egregious,
Like, well, maybe maybe Chuck Palumbo and Sean Olhair did deserve to
get their asses on the regular, but maybe things are changing in time,
like we're we're gonna time is healing and like things are starting to make a
little more sense. Yeah, you don't you love wrestler. You can watch
some a million times and then like on the five million rewatch like oh wait
a minute, now went on a minute you figured out thirty years later.
So now we go, h well, we were supposed to go straight into
the main event, but this is crazy. So it's the Jeff, Jared
and Scott Steinertown Hall first. Yes, it's supposed to be them versus gold
Dustin in a handicap match. Jared has the guitar that has the power that
shoots out of it, which is very fucking awesome. Chosen one and then
a different song. Of course, they recapped the Flare Dustin promo for earlier,
but it's Jared's dub music playing over it, so you can't hear the
promo, which we're not missing much. But yeah, Jared says, listen
up, slap nuts. Before Big Papa talks. I got one thing to
say to you, Dustin Rhodes. You're gonna be dead after this match.
I thought that. I literally thought like. I was like, oh God,
I know where he's going with this, just like your old man's career
was a long time ago. Okay career okay, Yeah, that's okay,
that's okay. The Scott Styder gets the my kid starts going off. I
was so confused at first, I was like, why's he talking about book
Er Tea and I was like, oh, yeah, they got the feud
and they're going into the last nitro with that, right, which is you
know, we'll talk about it in a minute, but I like that.
I like we've watched that, right, Yeah, I think okay, I
watched it a few times. Yeah, they definitely, they definitely should have
got more time. I think it's Scottie and book are only got like seven
or eight minutes, so I was really short. Yeah, cruiserweights went long.
U So yeah, Scott says Book of Tea. I pity demand that
doesn't learn for his mistakes. See when I beat you for this belt,
I only brook your back, broke a start them. I basically beat you
like a little bitch. So this Monday night in Panama City doing all that
again, I'm gonna make sure it's your last match in WCWA. I'm gonna
make your last match in your career because I am the largest I got the
largest hot of the world. I'm Jenettic freakfredic freak. And they hit his
music. They hit his music after the promo when there's a fucking match doesn't
match, but then they go to commercial. I guess that's why they did
it. I guess very w we free from basically a little bit bitch this
Monday night. A matter of fact, I beat you you last match you
for weird the world. I mean this is the real share right here.
That is a wrestler. Yeah, for real. We were robbed a right
back versus Scott Steiner's a big bang coming and you don't even know what's next.
Corn fed meadhead right from the corner. So we got a pre tape.
Road Warrior. Animal goes into the locker room of the Rick Flair and
Ric Flair is laid out crazy on the floor. He's putting through a table.
I think a coffee table. It's not like a table, he's a
coffee table he's laying on an Animal is Familio cameraman. I know Fli's gonna
want to see this match. Oh that was before he went on. He
said, camera, come with me. I know Flai's gonna want to see
this match, so I'm gonna go get him. He thought he would have
to go get the CEO of the company to come watch the main event.
That he booked the cameraman to come, I don't make no sense for some
reason. Also, yeah, when he's on the floor dead for some reason.
He looks at He walks in the room, looks at Flair on the
floor, and he goes, I'm tireless, crap. Oh man, what
the hell? You go get some help. He puts the cameraman, go
get some help. The cameraman puts the camera down facing Flare and then goes
to get help. Gee, he says, yo, go gets a help.
You you get his crap. Flaire is dead on the floor. I'm
tires crap. Not only that, James, he like leaned over, like
bent down at Flair's unconscious face, right in his face. It's egregious.
All right. So now I's tired for the main event, which is gold
dustin versus Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner Dust, which is crazy. Wait a
minute, wait was this guy gold Touch? It was shit? Yeah,
way bearing this game, I'll tell you that much. They call him the
natural. Well, Scott Steiner is the fucking goat. Once again, I'm
tired. This is that real wrestling. Jeff Jarret is Scott Steiner like I.
You know, we get to talk about you know, you get to
talk about fucking WWF and you get to talk about the invasion and all that
shit. Man, we were robbed of a ton of Steiner and Jarrett ship.
Yes, unbelievable. Like I understand WCW was this and that la la
la la la la la. But you had Scott Steiner Jeff Jarrett and this
is the only place that shit anyway, you like even t NA Scott Steiner
is not this not Yeah, it's not the same. We missed out on
a ton of this ship, a ton of this ship. There's a tons
show we missed out on um. But yeah, so Steiner with the Steiner
line, elbow drop, push up. He tells the ref to count.
The ref starts slapping the mat for the pen. He's doing push ups,
count ten, copt ten, and then he gets up, shoves the ref
and says, I'm just getting warmed up. Did you like that dust and
went for the dust buster? Do you know what that is? No?
What is that? They're joining the corner? Yeah, yes, yeah,
this guy speaks striking four hundred. Yeah, man, you're done. So
Medaysia gives Stott Scott Steiner the pipe here and he hits gold dust with it.
Crazy right and fucking dude, oyea, like in the jaw Yeah,
just barrel rolls describe how he hits them with it. It's very like he's
grabbed both of it. It's like both of it is in his hands and
then he thrust it forward into his face. As as a video game guy,
I love when dudes have like weapons that it go with them, like
Jared having a guitar and started like a pipe and shitting yeah, sticking with
the bat. Yeah, John Moxley with the explosive bombs, Chris Statlander with
the skateboard. Yeah, you got like all that share right? Um?
So Stiner hits him with the pipe, gets the recliner on dust and he's
out. Man fucking throw the match. He's done. I don't know where
Dusty must be in the bathroom or something, right, fellas, because he's
not here right now, he's not here. Why isn't he here? Could
I eat a lot of burritos a donkey and yeah he took the key actually,
So Steiner and Jared win the match and Scott Shier looks at the crowd
it goes, huh, styner than starter than I think a fan was like,
shut up and Styler like gets through the ropes as the music's blaring,
them are going crazy. Berating his fucking fan of inside the ring, trying
to raise his hand for the match. So Steiner then goes back and locks
the recliner back in on go Dustin and Jared starts whooping his ass. He's
kicking over. Then this is awesome, man, and then all sudden over
the speakers don't hate the player, hate the gate. Booker t for the
save and the WCW shirt. Dude, he makes the save and they're still
throwing garbage into the ring. They don't give a fuck. Sidekick, he
fucking clear his house, he gets some all the rings security is stopping Steiner
and Jared from getting back in the ring. And I love this, by
the way. I thought the whole outro here was very well done. And
I like Steiner and Jared on top. I think that's a good like for
what the guys you have left, you know from one WCW. Like this
is a hell of a team right here, you know what I mean,
Like this is a hell of an insane yeah. And it's a weird heat.
Yeah, they do have heat, and Steiner has like real heat,
you know what I mean. Jared maybe doesn't have like super real heat,
but Steiner is heated enough to wear like it doesn't Mad rob Off, Yeah,
yeah exactly. So Booker gets on the mic and says Stiner, I
know you're a little scared of losing that gold around your waist. Let me
tell you something. It's gonna happen. It's got to happen. And when
it's over with, don't he cuts the Scott Steiner cut Monday. That sounds
the crowd. Crowd love Booker super into it. Don't play hate the game,
and I'm pretty get with you. This is that real wrestling. Man.
That was very awesome. What a great ending there to uh, to
go into the season finale show. Uh, the last shot you see is
a little it's a cute fucking shot of like the entire crew like that,
you know, I guess backstage crew, Yeah, the Thunder crew and take
like a little photo together. And I was like, oh, that is
that is very cool. Yeah that is cool man. Yeah, this company's
gonna survive. I'm everything's fine, guys, comes take a picture everybody on
the stage. We're just gonna put it on TV. For some reason,
we'll never see you again. This company's dying. Yeah, I'll see him
Monday. Whatever. It's fine, but yeah, what a what a fucked
up show? This was, man, this was fucked up. This was
Dustin Rhodes. Yeah, man, that's fucked up. Man. I'm glad
that he got his ass stomps belong. I wish they didn't use the pipe
and just beat his ass. Clean up story, you know what I mean?
Yeah, you're Steiner and Jared Handicap. I would to beat this ship
up, even tried to politic like, you're not getting your fucking ass swamp.
I wouldn't put him in the recliner and then hit him with the pipe
in the recliner, you know what I mean, him with the guitar too.
Dustin's not here. Fuck this, you know what I mean? Killed
Steiner come out and breaks both his arms. But it was a seventh star
fucking stopping his dude out. Crazy, you know what I'm saying. You're
right? Why not right? Yeah? But it's okay because the end of
Booker T was awesome. Booker T is the fucking shining star of WCW.
Booker I mean, and really, when you look at Nitro, like the
ending of Nitro there Steiner and Booker for the world title is like the right
move it should have gotten a lot of sense. It should have been like
the fucking last thing you see, because like I get it, Sting,
Flair blah blah blah blah. But Booker and fucking Steiner were like they kept
they were like a glue to this fucking place for a super long time they
were, And I don't know if they ever stopped being over there, no
like to the last dying cold for either se I don't think, you know
what I mean, Yeah, yeah, like I know Flair was still involved,
and like I know, I know Sting Yeah obviously, obviously obviously,
but like if you really want to look at the last couple of years,
fucking Booker t it's got Steiner. Booker's carrying every division he's in. Yeah,
yeah, every time. You can guarantee you that you're going to get
something. We're seeing every time, and you're getting to react action from whatever
you put Scott Steiner in every time. Like I can't believe how he did
up. He was, like that's so sick. It's crazy if he did
any of that ship like in TNA, like he did all that shit,
and like they cheered him because like they different. It just it's a different
like it doesn't work anymore. You can't you can't be too good at being
Scott Steiner and it doesn't work. Yeah, but there you go. That
was the final thunder and that was our show. Thank you so much for
