Ready, 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:13.240 you're ready, Let's get it all. Let's get it on. 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:15.800 Mike Semper vv here with you for the next hour 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.919 talking professional wrestling and mix Marshal Art, something we do 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.960 every single day here on the Sports Byeline Broadcasting Network. 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.720 And however you're joining me today, whether that be through 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.560 tune in, I Heart American Forces Radio, over the air 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.120 affiliates like the Mighty or ten nineties Sports Byeline dot 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.360 Com via podcast, or whether you're streaming us on Twitch 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.320 dot tv or YouTube. Right now, I'd just like to 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.360 say thank you for spending a little bit of time 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.880 with me the same way you have all week long. 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.800 And the first thing I want to do is once 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.320 again thank Kevin gil for yesterday, who was told on 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:52.280 maybe between fifteen and thirty seconds notice by producer Dom 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.520 that yeah, you're gonna have to jump in here because 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.360 we're having some connection issues. By the way, had nothing 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.319 to do with me. You will notice that Brian, if 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.600 he was here, would be blaming me hardcore right now 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.280 for that, and he would blame filthy if something happened. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.840 You know that that was out of our control. Somehow 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.320 it would become our fault. It was not our fault. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.920 It was Brian's studio. They caused all the problems, even 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.200 out on the sea. He's got to cause me some 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.319 heartache this week, but that's okay because once again, filthy 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.759 Tom Lawler is back again with me today. So everything 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.360 is going to be wonderful. Everything is going to be fine, 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.959 and maybe, just maybe later on we are going to 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.200 get producer Daniel to make the call and get Greg 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:38.640 the Hammer Valentine onto this very program. But before we 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.160 do that, we have a lot of things we're going 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.640 to get into today, not the least of which was 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:47.320 a W dynamite last night with the happiest, fuzziest, warmest 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.960 memories all given to me as an old Jim Crockett Jr. 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.840 Pro wrestling fan from from the mid Atlantic days he were. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.040 They were in Greensboro last night and had an awesome 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.680 six man main event that certainly warmed my heart. Kyle 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.600 O'Reilly warming a lot of other people's hearts by not 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.880 resigning with n x T and making his debut last 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.680 night and a W. We also have some other news 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.720 as well. Corporal Kirshner has passed away, the former leather Face. 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.080 We will talk about that as well as New Japan 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:21.560 and all Japan joining forces for the Kurrican. So that 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.440 is going to be awesome celebrating the anniversary there uh 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.080 Joshi Festivals starting also going to kick off that weekend, 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.959 and we're gonna kick off everything with Filthy Tom Waller. 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:38.359 We get back from break Wrestling Observer Live.

You know, we do 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.079 the show for an hour at a time, but if 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.480 you want us four seven you can find us on Twitter. 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.800 I am at semper vv. The timeline for this show 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.000 is at w O n F four W with the 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.799 broadcasters at Sports Byline USA.

If Brian Albarez's Twitter is at Brian Alvarez, 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.959 I don't believe it's very active right now, at least 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.120 I hope it is not. As he continues to spend 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:14.880 time with his family and as all of you spend 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.960 time with your families during the holidays. Just want to 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.960 say thank you again for for joining us today. And 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.920 I gotta start this off on a little bit of 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.560 a sad note for anybody who's got a little bit 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.800 of age on him, like filthy and I do. And 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:32.360 remember Corporal Kirshner Michael James Penzel passed away at the 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.080 age of sixty four. It was reported by FMW Archives 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:41.040 Bow who FMW that Kurshner had passed away. The Lawful 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.280 and Funeral Home in Liberty, North Carolina had also posted 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:49.360 an obituary. Kirshner started his career in training under verne 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.760 Ganja and first started working in the w w F 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.680 as a prelimb guy. He soon adopted the name Corporal Kirshner, 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.080 which highlighted his legitimate experience as a paratrooper in the 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:05.960 eight second Airborne. The problem, unfortunately, with that was character wise, 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.440 he was coming in right after Sergeant Slaughter, and that's 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.480 why the character was developed because Slaughter had exited stage 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:17.719 right over fees in issues over the g I. Joe 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.320 deal and whether WWF was going to get a cut 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.000 of that. He ended up leaving going to the a 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.479 w A, the Pro Wrestling USA deal, and when that happened. 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.080 Somebody had to take on the Iron Sheet and Nikolai 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.560 Volkoff in the Battle of the USA against everybody, all 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.479 the four and menaces back in the day, and that 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.800 ended up becoming Corporal Kirshner. Probably the high point of 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.440 his career there was defeating Nikolai Volkoff in the Flag 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.920 versus Flag match at WrestleMania two. He was out of 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.760 the company after that, ended up going to New Japan 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.320 for a little bit before he reinvented himself as leather 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.960 Face and became one of the featured outsiders in fm W. 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.640 And I kinda I was never a fan that style 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.119 of wrestling, certainly not back in that day at all. 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.960 And plus that stuff was relatively hard to find unless 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.440 you are a tape trader, which I was not at 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.400 the time either. So it wasn't until a lot later 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.960 on that I got to see some of the sheer 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.440 insanity that would take place, you know, probably because of 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.080 mcfoley and like nine whatever it was when he came 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.640 to ECW and he started, you know, seeing a little 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.679 bit more that we saw some of this crazy stuff 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.680 that was going on, and Tom he had a match 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.839 as one of the leather faces against uh oh No 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.760 and and knock a MOCKI and it was the damnedest 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.120 thing I had ever seen. I can still remember seeing 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.160 it for the first time. I'm like, whatever grainy internet 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.840 video footage, I ultimately saw it on of these two 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.080 men power bombing oh No into a bed of nails. 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.960 And I guess there's still some debate to this day 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.440 over whether did they shoot on him or not, whatever 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.560 the deal was, but they put him on this bed 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.880 of nails. He's jumping on his chest with barbed wire boards. 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.719 It's just it's the damnedest thing. Did you ever have 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.479 a chance to see Kirshner at all, let alone some 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:12.320 of these exploits later in his career. Well, I believe 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.600 I had been exposed to him through watching the I 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:21.640 W A King of the Death matches, Stranglemania, those sort 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.560 of events, But I did not see him during his heyday. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.120 I did watch the aforementioned match, the match you just 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:34.839 mentioned against on No and Nakamaki is it um And 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.240 I'll be damned if that is not one of the 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:43.680 most uncomfortable, disgusting, horrific things I have seen in the ring. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:48.760 And I've seen the Blood Hunter I've seen that sort 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:53.000 of stuff live on until uh today's day, and Age 0:06:54.920 --> 0:07:02.040 Tom Wikipedia says you're filthy? Is that true? I don't 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:08.359 like that guy. Sorry, okay, well, leather Face, did I 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.040 throw you off? I'm sorry a little bit. Leatherface was 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.280 the precursor. I guess this sort of stuff like that 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.280 because I can't tell if that was real or fake. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.240 I don't know what was going on in that Super 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.840 nail Hell match or whatever it was with Oo Naka Machi. 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.320 But like you said, it's not my cup of tea. 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.240 I don't know whose it is. But you've got to 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.560 give props to the guys who are out there, you know, 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.040 putting it all on the line, uh, in those types 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.560 of matches for for the fans that like that stuff 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.840 wild as hell. I mean that that is for sure. 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.080 I mean the Gilbert's I think it was Eddie Gilbert 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.800 and Doug Gilbert for sure. They they were involved in 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.400 something like that too. And it may have been FMW. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.120 I means it was always FMW or i w A 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.040 where it was like something insane was gonna happen, whether 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.120 it be i w A in Puerto Rico or Japan 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.560 or Mid South like somebody was gonna bleed all over 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.440 the place and things were gonna be uncomfortable. And I 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.760 remember they were involved in something like that too, and 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.120 it was the same way. Where was there a work 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.400 or shoot, they ripped off their masks, they say they 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.040 quit the company, and then they looked like they about 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.040 killed the people that they were working with. So it 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:19.280 was always absolutely absolute insanity when he comes to that stuff. 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:24.120 And uh, unfortunately, you know, this is how I remember 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.320 Corporate Curshner. It is the only other way I remember 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.200 Corporate Curshner was back in the day where I was 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.640 old enough to have the old like l j Endall. 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.960 My son got me a Bruno, uh and I had 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.240 the original one where Corporate Curshner without the beard on, 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.920 just with the pose. You know that that was pretty 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.120 much all the l j N poses. They all pretty much, 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.480 you know, looked like this. But uh, yeah, So the 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.800 Corporate Curshner passed away at the age of sixty four 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.120 years old. One of the dumb things that happened was 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.760 I think we had already talked about his death on 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.600 the show a couple of years ago, believe it or not, 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:02.319 because WWD dot Com reported that he had passed away 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.760 and then he had to tell them, well, no I didn't, 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.800 I'm right here, and they ended upting retraction. So yeah, 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.520 that that was a couple of years ago. But yeah, oops, 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.760 that's yeah not good. There was like the wrong one 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.920 leg guy that the Johnny A signed, the guy from 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.240 Florida instead of Zack Gwen then Steve Chamberlain, I can't 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.240 remember what the guy's name was, and you know, ended 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.280 up having to one leg guys on the roster. But 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.239 from one side of Japan to another, the more traditional 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.280 side of New Japan and All Japan Pro Wrestling which 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.120 we're thriving. When FMW was was trying to get themselves 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.920 off the ground and do something, and they've both been 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.760 through a lot of ups and downs since then. But 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.640 they're going to be holding a joint show on April 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:52.000 sixteen to commemorate Kraken Hall's sixtieth birthday. There's going to 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.679 be a Joshi festival taking place the day before. I'm 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.000 not sure who's going to be involved there, but it's 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.200 hard to believe that with New Japan being a all 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.120 that stardom will not be and I'm sure there are 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.200 going to be some outline groups that don't want anything 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.280 to do with it, but now would be a great time, 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.720 I would assume, in especially Japanese women's wrestling, to try 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.400 to work together the best you can when things have 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.000 been so lean there and things continue to be lean. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.199 We don't know when how long this next COVID blast 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.280 is going to and how it's going to affect things 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.480 moving forward, but Tokyo Sports is reporting that these shows 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.120 are going to take place on the fifteenth and sixteen. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.960 Uh No cards have been announced, and again, like I said, nobody, 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.440 nobody has been mentioned as far as the Joshi uh 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.559 promotions that will be working out and taking place, but 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.719 New Japan also working with Noah right now with Night 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.920 three of the Russell sixteen the Russell Kingdom sixteen shows 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:50.600 tom Obviously, there's been some banter about the New Japan 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:54.000 Noah card in that some people are really upset that 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.679 they're not going to get like single style dream matches 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.880 for the most part on those shows, and I understand, 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.920 but I also understand that this maybe step one in 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:07.360 moving forward to maybe several other shows this year. At 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.480 least that's maybe I'm I'm wish casting that, but that's 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.920 kind of how I looked at that, but I think 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.040 in this case with all Japan, couldn't you go ahead 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.880 and actually have some more you know shows with you know, 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:23.000 some more matches with some gravitas, Well, you absolutely could. 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.520 I don't know if that's what we're gonna get. I mean, Mike, 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:30.120 you have followed this scene as long as anybody that 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.000 I know or speak to on a regular basis, and 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.719 you never get these big time dream matches that you're 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.440 very rarely due between the promotions. It's usually tag team matches, 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.040 multiman tag matches, and that's exactly what we're gonna get, 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:48.320 uh in this upcoming you know, third Night of Russell Kingdom. Now, 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.720 whether that leads to singles matches down the road with 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:58.600 the champions, whether it's Nakajima, Shingo Okada, a mix of 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.000 everybody in there, I don't know. You know, we could 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.760 just go back to the regular role day where it's 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.320 Noah versus Noah, New Japan versus New Japan, and that's 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.679 what we get. But I'm excited to see either way. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.680 I'm excited to continue on with the show too, because 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.440 we haven't even gotten into a w Dynamite yet with 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:29.160 the main event that makes old men happy. Restumes are alive, 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:35.800 come on back on the show, Mike Simber, meet me here, Philipy, 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:41.840 Tom Waller, Rustumes overlive, Griselda. I don't think West sight 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.160 Gun is gonna come on this show, but unlike a 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.480 W we'll actually acknowledge who he is or NXT did 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.200 that too, But I don't watch that show. So I 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.720 also can't answer the question that Tom asked me during 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:57.000 the break. Isn't Carmelo Hayes Michael Hayes's son, Now, I'd 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:01.480 like to think so, well, well, when you watch as 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.360 a bunch of w W as me, you sometimes have 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.080 to make up your own storylines. So will you be watching? 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:12.120 Simply a question? Uh you know, I didn't watch it 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.600 last week once I realized that I didn't have to 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:19.760 cover it on Monday, uh with Brian So uh no, 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.760 And I'll tell you why. I probably won't watch it 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:26.320 because there is a live Dynamite or not lie, but 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.840 a taped Dynamite on Saturday. And actually before that, there 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.560 is the best of New Japan Strong One, which will 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:41.080 be airing free on YouTube Live I believe at five 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.120 pm Pacific, and uh you know, perhaps there'll be some 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:50.600 notable wrestlers jumping in the old chat there on YouTube 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:56.559 for this New Japan Strong Best of premiere. Oh m, 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.320 all of team Filthy or are you going to send 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.520 your minions out there to do your bidding for you? 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.480 Or are you actually going to be in that chat? 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.959 Don't don't do this to the people. Don't tease them 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.480 like this. Don't get them all all excited and ready 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.640 and hot for something and then and then pull it 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.680 back on them. Don't be that kind of heal Tom Lawler, listen, 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:21.120 the real representatives of the West Side, whether you're packing 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.720 heat or not, the West Side, the West Coast wrecking 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:27.000 crew will probably be at the gym. And if they're 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.480 not at the gym, they'll be stuffing down some turkey 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.440 to get that protein in Afterwards. Danny Lime lights on 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:38.000 vacation in Puerto Rico and j R Crados. Do you 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.280 think that guy's hands can fit on a computer or 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:45.160 phone and use them properly? I don't think so. Filthy 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.120 Tom will be repente and filthy. The sponsors paid the 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.920 good money. I'll be there in the chat. New Japan 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:55.080 Strong Best of New Japan Strong on YouTube Saturday night, 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:59.960 Christmas PM. You gotta ask you, it's gonna be Christmas. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.800 You're gonna You're gonna have some some sort of beverage 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.280 by your side here because I see that whiskey is 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.280 going to be served at Corkin Hall. That has now 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.720 been decided between Kinnamaru and Yao. How do you feel 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.840 about that decision making. I've been waiting to get my 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:23.200 hands on Yao for years, and unfortunately, due to this pandemic, 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.920 it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen. But I actually 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.040 believe if you check an interview on New Japan's website, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:36.600 I believe I called out Yao for the three King 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.160 of Pro Wrestling either last year or the year before, 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:46.680 and that is still my goal. So I predict that Yao, 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:51.400 despite it not being suky that they're drinking in the 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.440 match and it being whiskey, I think Yao is gonna 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.000 pull out the victory somehow. And for those who are 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.840 underway or the unaware, the year end party match between 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.960 Cannamorrow and Yana will be a normal match except for 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.640 the fact that wrestlers are going to be uh here 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.560 this is the quote, forced to drink alcohol at two intervals. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.560 The referee will then administer a twenty count after the 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.440 shots are taken. Should either competitor not be able to 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.440 respond to the twenty count, they will lose, but pinfall 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:26.800 submission and disqualification rules still apply. Uh. This sounds like 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.160 the Power Hour in college, which I, assuming that you 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.320 have some experience with, I was more of an Edward 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:38.800 forty hands guy myself to be fair. Uh do we 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.600 have to explain this to kids? Now? Do they still? 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.120 Cos I don't know what you would be forced to 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.600 do in the game of Edward forty hands is take 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:52.200 to forty ouch drinks, probably a Slit small liquor or 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:57.640 mad Dog some sort, saying I believe there were a 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:02.680 former UFC sponsor at one point. Uh, and you would 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.440 have to tape them around your forearms and hands, and 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.639 you well, you couldn't take the bottles off until you 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.399 were done drinking them, and makes it very hard to urinate. Uh. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.000 The goal, of course, is to hold it as long 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:21.119 as possible and not face the embarrassment of being Edward 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:25.640 forty hands himself. And Dr Kiltinski went to his went 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.520 to his wedding, stood in and his uh, his rehearsal 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.719 dinner and all the groomsmen. We all had our our 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:34.960 forty that we were given and I had I think 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.280 it was what was a Camo malt liquor. Was the 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.280 first time I ever had Camo since where I was 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.560 it was a lot of sane I's and Colt forty five, 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.200 and I remember they had the sixty four ounds private 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.720 stock malt liquor that was the terrible thing, and the 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.520 other malt, at least with Edward forty hands. It did 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.000 force you to drink it even faster, and malt liquor 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.359 out of a sixty four ounces or a forty ounce bottle, 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.240 I mean it got like halfway like and that was 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.959 bad enough. Although Steel Reserved. Do you remember that one 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.399 when that came out? I absolutely do remember Steel Reserve? 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.720 And yeah, what was the number in the bottle? Because 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.639 I've worked at a liquor store and guys would come 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.800 and say, give me that nine one one, and that's 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:15.240 what they meant, because it was like they had a 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.439 seven eleven in the bottle or something like that. But 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:18.840 they didn't care. It was just that they called it. 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:21.800 And that's true because if you drank too many you 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:26.320 need it, you absolutely would. I mean I felt like 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.359 I drank one too many last night as I'm watching 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:34.240 Dynamite and I see people appearing out of left field 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.600 add x T and then I see all the men 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.200 diving off the top turn buckle to the outside in 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.040 the main event. I thought I had drink it too much, Mike, 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.320 But I had it. It was just another week on 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:53.280 a W Dynamite. Now. I'm sure you have cross paths 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:57.080 with Bobby Fish and Kylo Riley before. I don't. I 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:58.919 don't know where. It was like, almost like a different 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:03.000 lifetime ago when you had done such things there. But Mike, 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:06.960 it's almost like I cornered them in a two thousand 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:12.800 fourteen title win against the young Bucks who were in 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.840 the very ring with them. Last night, after Kylo Riley 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.199 made his debut on a W Dynamite in the opening 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:24.080 segment in a match between Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy, 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.680 a match I enjoyed very much as well as did 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:31.399 the fans. Had a this is awesome chant going before 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.320 the finish. I thought Orange Cassie looked great. He outwrestled 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.760 Cole early on the Bucks and the best friends brawled 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:44.600 to the back. The match continued on Orange Cassidy seemingly 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:51.200 had it in control. Outcomes Bobby Fish, That dastardly Bobby Fish, 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:55.560 the youngster getting his TV time, only to distract the 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:59.359 referee so that the violent artist himself, Kylo Riley could 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.240 make his A E W debut. He is now all 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:08.480 elite and seemingly in coats with Adam Cole and Bobby Fish. 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:10.720 I like how you call him the youngster. That's like 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.119 a gorilla monsoon calling Carlos Cologne the youngster at the 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.640 Royal Rumble that one he when he was out there 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.320 the the well, the well seasoned Bobby Fish out there, 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:23.880 And I gotta be honest, I I like Orange Cassidy. 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.440 I No, I never have had to bet with Orange Cassidy. 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.960 I thought it. I thought it did go on for 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:34.080 a little bit too long there, even though that's a nitpick, 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:36.720 but I do have to ask what what exactly was 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:40.479 he doing at the end uh with the Was that 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:42.720 going to be a flying body press? What move could 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.280 you have pulled off the top rope with the hands 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:46.960 in the pockets like that? Was he going for the 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:52.359 cross body? Or was Blockbuster would have been crazy? Yeah? 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.639 Or Cassie was he was in control of the actually 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:57.280 went up top, put his hands in his pockets and 0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:59.639 left off the top. It just got his head super 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:04.119 kicked off before Panama Sunrise. Like, I don't know, Listen, 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.880 people always try to nitpick things in wrestling matches. Ago 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:11.879 that doesn't make any sense. Well, unfortunately or fortunately, no 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.240 matter depending on how you look at it. I've watched 0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:16.520 a lot of fights now where people just do stupid 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:20.440 stuff for no reason. So I'm gonna chalk up whatever 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:24.000 Orange Cassidy was doing to that. Why did chill saw 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:28.040 it into a flip over Fador's back? Right? Like what 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.280 is going on in some of these instances? So that 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:32.760 to me, that was we just chalk that one up 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.080 to a bad strategy, bad tactics on the part of 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:39.960 Orange Cassidy. Anybody not named Noohico Takata doing a dropkick 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:42.439 in the match, I'm looking at you, Minoa Man, like, 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.160 don't don't, don't do that. But I want to take 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.040 it from pillar to post just in case we we 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:50.080 get two out of line here. We'll fill in the 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:52.919 rest of these details. But I want to take it 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.560 to the main event right away because this was Greensboro, 0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:01.159 and you know, I I love this f t R. 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:04.920 M JF Tully, Blanche Seawan Spears and Wordlow. You would 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:07.880 have thought, you know, they weren't. Where was Tully anyway? 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:12.800 But Darby Allen Sting CM punk, I love this and 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:16.000 I just I love pro wrestling, and every day we 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:17.919 gotta sit on this show, and I gotta be on 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:20.119 with Brian, and we gotta knit things. We got to 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.040 look at things with a critical eye. We have to 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.880 have Brian rant and just sap all the life out 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.560 of me. Sometimes when I just don't want to ran, 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.200 I don't want to ran about Raw, I don't even 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:31.720 want to give it any oxygen. I want to talk 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.320 about things to make me happy and matches that make 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:37.200 me happy, in situations that make me happy, and last 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.760 night was one of those things. Because that was much 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:45.560 like it Radicals d X against Too Cool, Rakishi and 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.280 mc foley and the Rock match on Raw that took 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:51.520 place in two thousand, like this was my match of 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:56.120
