32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: but the wife's birthday was Monday night, and then we

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: had some stuff over the weekend which we will talk

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: about later in the show talking about GCW. But first off,

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: we want to do give a quick shout out to

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: WWE for the awesome tickets that they hooked us up

37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: with for Monday Night Raw last week.

38
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fun. That was the closest I've ever

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: been to a big time wrestling event. So we were

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: front center and one of us made it on TV.

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if we were any closer, we would be

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: in the ring, yeah.

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: Or around the ring holding sound equipment or video. Yeah.

44
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: Maybe those guys are sitting in the corner holding the courts.

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: So nobody trips over. But yeah, I did make it

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: on TV and people started texting me these photos and

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: they're like Battle doesn't seem to impress, And I was like,

48
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: you got to understand, Like being there in the front row,

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: sitting there where we were, it's it's very hard, especially

50
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: during the women's match, because you don't want to look

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: overly impressed, but you don't want to look creepy that

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: you're like, look at that girl, she's like wrestling.

53
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're in a weird spot. It was almost

54
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: kind of like around this corner or around a curve

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: kind of a deal. And then with my seat, I

56
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: was right by the bouncer and he was just he

57
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: was just on my balls all night, like he would

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: not scoot over. So I was kind of in a

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: weird spot. So they were great seats. It was just

60
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: kind of a weird isshing where they were and stuff.

61
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: But it was kind of crazy though, because it was like,

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, earlier in that day, we did a thing

63
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: with Becky Lynch, which I've got a couple of questions

64
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: that we might that I got to talk to her

65
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: for like all two minutes, which was great because we

66
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: got to ask a couple of questions, so we might

67
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: add that to this show where we might just kind

68
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: of put it out as just like a little Instagram thing, which,

69
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: by the way, follow us on Instagram Battleground Podcast because

70
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: we give away cool stuff on there, like I don't know,

71
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: maybe an autograph Becky Lynch photo.

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: I mean just that's just something we thought of off

73
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: the top of our head.

74
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean I did get her to sign some stuff

75
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: while we were at the cricket, so you never know.

76
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: For those people that could not venture out in the

77
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: middle of a work day like myself and go see

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: the man who knows, maybe something will happen.

79
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: She was the nicest person ever. By the way, so

80
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: many cool people came up, and it was kind of

81
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: cool because people were like coming up and were like,

82
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: we had our I had the T shirt on, which,

83
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: by the way, this is like a shameless plug at

00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: the very beginning of the show. We do have merchandise.

102
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking I think I

103
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: know what you're talking about. I think it's edition by

104
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: subtraction or subtraction by edition.

105
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: Something along those lines. But somebody that was there with

106
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: us Monday night and blah blah blah blahlah blah blah.

107
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: Blah, yeah I could. I couldn't tell if we were

108
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,800

109
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: the state of the show and where it may be soon.

110
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, we're not. We're not going anywhere.

111
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: The show's not going anywhere. It's just just an f

112
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: y nobody panic at the moment.

113
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: No, No, we just there's a ton of stuff we're

114
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: working on behind the scenes. We might have a new

115
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: T shirt designed by the end of the year to

116
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: go along with the just the logo. I know some

117
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: people were weird about just wearing a logo or something,

118
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: you know, like.

119
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: I sure as hell I felt kind of weird wearing.

120
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so we're going to start kind of getting

121
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: some stuff that pertains to us and wrestling, but also

122
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: looks kind of cool on the shirt. So hopefully, you know,

123
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 3: if not by the end of December, you know, early

124

Speaker 3: next year, we'll have a new design out and always

125
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: just throwing seeds out seeing if we can get people on.

126
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't want to jinx it, but

127
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: hopefully we'll have a Hall of Famer on the show

128
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: this week.

129
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: Yes, hopefully, and we will you know, make sure everything

130
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: is going according to plan. And uh, let's just kind

131
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: of jump right in now that we've just kind of

132
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: rambled on for a little bit. So yeah, so many

133
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: awesome things are happening over the weekend. I did not

134
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: I was not able to attend because I had some

135
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: other stuff but GCW was in town and ELI actually

136
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: went to the event, So let's let's kind of talk

137
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: about GCW for a second.

138
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so those people that do not know it, Game

139
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: Change are Wrestling and several big names have gone through

140
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: there over the years. Some people you might recognize currently

141
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: on Wednesday Nights. Joey Janella, Orange Cassidy, and Marco Stunt

142
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: are all from still associated with GCW and also AW

143
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: now so it is one of the big, you know,

144
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: more well known indie promotions. I mean, they've gotten a

145
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: lot of notoriety over this decade in particular, but this

146
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 3: was their second well I think it was a second.

147
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: This is the second time I've seen them in Nashville,

148
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: and they're at the Basement East, And if you've never

149
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: been to the Basement East, it doesn't sound like the

150
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: most ideal place for a wrestling event, but it's just

151
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: pretty perfect, honestly. I mean, people lose their minds when

152
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: they have The Southern Underground pro will be there on

153
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: the twenty first for a random Saturday show. They usually

154
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: do their shows on Sunday as well, so that'll be

155
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: the next time you can see wrestling there. So if

156
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: you're curious about it. I would invite you out to

157
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: Southern Underground Pro on the twenty first. But yeah, so

158
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: match first match was a scramble and it was Jake

159
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: Lander KTB, Jordan Oliver, JJ, Garrett Gringo Loco and Manders

160
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: who has wrestled with Southern Underground before, and just a

161
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: big slug fest. There was a bunch of cool spots.

162
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: Jake Lander ended up winning that one. Next match was

163
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: tag match. It was Violences Forever, which if you've been

164
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: to a sub show you recognize that team is Dominic

165
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: Garini and Kevin Coo. Dominic's have been doing some stuff

166
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: with MLW, so he's actually kind of branched out into

167
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: a bigger audience, and he was a he was the

168
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: Southern Underground Pro World champion for a long time. Uh.

169
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: They defeated a tag team called Smoking Buds. It's the

170
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: team of Cody and David Morton, and I believe they're related,

171
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: but I didn't know if they were brothers or cousins

172
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: or what it was. So that was a pretty good match.

173
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: Next match obviously got a lot of acclaim. It was

174
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: Tony deppin versus Eric Cannon, and I think that's spelled

175
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: a R I K. And then mister freshlely squeezed himself

176
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 3: Orange Cassidy, and of course I.

177
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Saw some of the videos from that and it looked phenomenal.

178
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really It's really interesting because a lot of

179
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: people don't get Orange Cancer Cassidy. And if they they

180
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: think they get him there, they rush it all or

181
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 3: just think it's dumb, or you know, have the Jim

182
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 3: Cornett mentality of well he's not wonna make no money,

183
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 3: but whatever when he So if you've seen him on aw,

184
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 3: you really haven't seen him do much. So for a

185
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: lot of people, it's just kind of like, Okay, this

186
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: is weird. But if you actually see him wrestle, I

187
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: mean he actually can can go.

188
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: So it was not the gimmicks of like when you've

189
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: seen scrolling through Instagram the match of him like falling

190
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: asleep in the middle of the ring kind of thing.

191
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he plays up the comedy aspect of

192
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: it probably better than anyone. I mean, it's just such

193
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: an incredible gimmick. But I mean, you know, about halfway

194
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: through the match, it was just a regular match. You know,

195
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: they were going and but much to everyone's surprise, Tony

196
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: deppan won that he's had some interesting He's had some

197
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: bounce with like Janella over the years and stuff. So

198
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 3: I will give a shout out to mister Joe Janella.

199
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: He was there. He did not wrestle, but he was

200
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: doing some commentating and uh he was rocking a black

201
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 3: pair of Cowboy boots since he was in Nashville, so

202
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: it was very.

203
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: He got to rock cowboy boots, which is very weird.

204
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: I've lived here my entire life not on a pair

205
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: of Cowboy boots.

206
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: No, I've had you know what I would call, uh,

207
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: you know, work boots or combat boots or something, but

208
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 3: never like Cowboy boots.

209
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, So if there's any body that sells Cowboy

210
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: boots out there that wants to sponsor the show and

211
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: wants to like just throw us free Cowboy boots, we

212
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: will totally wear them and talk about them on the podcast.

213
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: Well I say I won't, but I mean battle will.

214
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: We can get battle in some and take some pictures.

215
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: Pro just got a Broadway by two. What is if

216
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: I want get two free or something? They're just giving

217
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: away boots. It's just wild, I think.

218
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: So uh, let's see, I got to get that inner

219
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: Redneck and this is a wrestling podcast.

220
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, if they do have some boots like Dusty

221
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: Rhodes War, yeah, I'll probably I'll probably take a look.

222
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: Dude, I'm gonna see if I could find these. While

223
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: we were talking about the next match, and I'm wanna

224
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: find some Dusty Roads cowboy boots.

225
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 3: Next match was Jimmy Lloyd versus Alex Cologne versus I

226
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: think his name Schlock s H L A K. And

227
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: then a gentleman named Matthew Justice. We've seen Matthew Justice

228
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: with Tried and True. He was in Yeah, I've talked

229
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 3: about it before, but he was in that really weird

230
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: Battle Royal that Tried and Trude did where they announced

231
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: all the competitors and they started the entire Battle roy

232
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: outside the ring. So that was kind of strange, But anyway,

233
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: he was there and I've seen him. He's wrestled for

234
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: Southern Underground Pro and obviously done stuff with GCW. He

235
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: he was the winner for that. Next match was Shane Mercer.

236
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: Shane Mercer and Marco Stunt's younger brother, Logan, who's like

237
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: a second degree black belt and you know, same kind

238
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 3: of thing. He's kind of small, but definitely very athletic

239
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: and fast. There was there was this There was a

240
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: spot where if you've ever been to the basement east,

241
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: there's like the pole kind of in the middle of

242
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: the room, and if you've been there, you know what

243
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,359
Speaker 3: I'm talking about. Well, Shane Mercer put a door against

244
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: that whatever pole and then he got on the stage

245
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: to the right of the pole and he got Logan

246
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 3: up and basically Gorilla pressed him over his head and

247
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: took about four steps to the end of the stage

248
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: and threw him and he flew through the air and

249
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: landed into a crowd of people. They were plants, they

250
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: were all wrestlers, but anyways, they were all standing there

251
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: and he hit with such force that he still went

252
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: through the people and hit the door and went through

253
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: the door like it was.

254
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: I saw that video on social and I just was like,

255
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: holy shit.

256
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very, very crazy, and I posted like

257
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 3: a slow mo video of him doing this like backflip,

258
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: weird crazy thing, and I was just like, it's really chill.

259
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: We didn't see Logan die today because it was Shane

260
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: was much bigger and stronger than him, So definitely very wild.

261
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: Next match was Chris Dickinson against the pitbull Brett Isen,

262
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: who was the former So There Underground World Champion.

263
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: Chris a future guest on the show by the way, Yeah.

264
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we haven't been able to line dates up. He

265
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: was going out of town when we were open, and

266
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: then when he was open, I was gone, and so

267
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 3: definitely we'll get him in before it's all said and done.

268
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: Chris Dickinson actually got the win on that though. That

269
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: was that was kind of surprising. So so Brett went

270
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: down on that next match. These last four matches were

271
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: just crazy town. I can't I don't know if I

272
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: can pick a favorite, but it was Blake Christian and

273
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: Jake Atlas went one on one and we met Blake

274
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: at the Capital City thing that came to town in

275
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 3: August at Marathon Music Works. He was here for that

276
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: and that match with that that arguably could be my

277
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 3: match of the night. It was wild. I mean, those

278
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: two guys, I don't know how they're not just superstars.

279
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 3: Blake Christian won the match. He's like twenty three. I

280
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 3: think he's from Memphis, so he's done some stuff in

281
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: Memphis with like Jerry Lawler and some of that, and

282
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 3: he's also you know obviously GCW, so I wouldn't be

283
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: surprised if in the next like five years he's in

284
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: a big league like n x T or AW or something.

285
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's got he's got all the tools

286
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 3: right now. It is wild. So that was really good match.

287
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: The next next match was incredible. For those that don't know,

288
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,359
Speaker 3: Conrad was there. And Conrad you know, obviously does podcasts

289
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 3: with j R. And Tony Schavani and the main there

290
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: is arn Anderson, you know, so he was there. Well

291
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: he loaned uh GCW an actual ring used. It was

292
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: actually called the w CW Big Gold Belt or the title.

293
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: It was a title match for the w CW Big Gold.

294
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: It wasn't actually the Big Gold So that was as me,

295
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: being a built guy, I was like, well, that's not

296
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: the Big Gold, So right off the bat, I was like,

297
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: that's you know, and then on top of it, I

298
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: I think it was supposed to be the WCW International

299
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: World Title, which was used for a short period of

300
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: time when Rick Flair left WCW and took the Big

301
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: Gold with him and went to WWF. So then they

302
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: created this interim World Championship and then like two years

303
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 3: later when Rick Flair came back, they had a unification

304
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: match and then it was just the Big Gold. But

305
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: the belt that they actually used was an actual NWA belt,

306
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 3: so it was an NWA World Champion belt, but they

307
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 3: were labeling it as a WCW World title match, and

308
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: it was Manx Warner against Fie and Fi's blowing up

309
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: right now. He's a huge indie star. Manz is as well,

310
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: he's on MLW. Actually he has a fan in Jim Cornette.

311
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: So Mats Warner comes out waving a WCW flag, and

312
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: the thing that was just incredible about this match is

313
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: that they did it as if it was a WCW match.

314
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: So what I mean by that is they did a

315
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: you know, they had like a false finish, and then

316
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: they had like a weird count thing, and then they

317
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: had like, no, we got to get judges, and if

318
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: judges say we can restart this, we're going to restart

319
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: the match. They picked three random people and they're like,

320
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: you had to do it, and then they had like

321
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: it was just all these you know, things that occurred

322
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: in WCW, and it ended with this. It was this

323
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: huge group of people ended up in the ring and

324
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: then Marcos Stunt came out as Sting Sad his face

325
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: paint on and the bad and Eli had.

326
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: Like text me a photo of it, and I was

327
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: just like, this isn't possibly the greatest thing in the world.

328
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, right now. It's funny because he went to TJ

329
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: Max and just got a little like the Wolfpack Sting mask.

330
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: He had that on and everyone's like, oh whatever, and

331
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: then he takes that off and then he was actually

332
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: painted white and black and he had the masks or

333
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: the bat and everything. So so that was just a random,

334
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: crazy match, you know, and then mansworn that and he

335
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: got the bell, but I'm sure he gave it right

336
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: back to Conrad. The main event was the GCW World

337
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: Championship against with Aj Gray against Nick Gage. Nick Gage

338
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 3: is a lunatic. In case you don't know who he is,

339
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: just look it up. His his motto or his little catchphrase,

340
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: it's d M d K, which is murdered death kill.

341
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: So he's which it was actually just announced that he

342
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: is having a no holds bar match against Tessa Blanchard. Yeah,

343
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean I saw that on Twitter the other day,

344
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: I believe.

345
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: I mean to give you an idea earlier this year

346
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: when David Arqutte got back into wrestling, and we you know,

347
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: we just interviewed Josephis and he got a lot of

348
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 3: press for that hair versus hair match. He also fought

349
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: a hardcore match against Nick Gage, and so if that's

350
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: the one where he like slit his neck open, So

351
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: if you go back and look at that and just

352
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 3: look at just google David Arquette death match, he fought

353
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: neck Gage like that was that was the opponent. So

354
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: uh and like the first time I ever saw Nick Gage,

355
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: he fought pent to zero from aw which was crazy,

356
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 3: insane match. But AJ Gray's a Southern underground guy and

357
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: he's been branching out and doing He fought like two

358
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: Colt Scorpio last year, you know, just kind of a

359
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 3: Bucketts match for him. But he's he's from West Tennessee,

360
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 3: where I'm from. So we've kind of, you know, we've

361
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: chatted a couple of times, and I always try to

362
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: get like slow motion videos of him, and I've emailed

363
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 3: him to him stuff and everything. So he challenged Nick

364
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: Gage for the GCW World Everyway Championship, which Nick Gage

365
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: has held for I think seven hundred days now. So

366
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: he's had it for what is that over two years?

367
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 3: Two and a half years or something. Yeah, and aj

368
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 3: Gray one he penned Nick Gage clean in the ring. Now,

369
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: I will say this, right before that happened, Nick Gage

370
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 3: got jumped in the ring. Two guys came out and

371
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: were just you know, wearing him down, chair shots and

372
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: you know, all this kind of crap. And then when

373
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 3: he was down a Gray kind of kicked them out

374
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: of the ring, like what the crap? You know, I

375
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 3: don't need you to win this match, you know. So

376
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: he got them out of the ring and then everyone's like,

377
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: you know, he's down do it. So then he hit

378
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: a flying leg drop off the top rope and got

379
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: the pin one two three. So shocking is an understatement.

380
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I think AJ Gary's got a huge future

381
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: in front of him. I think he's twenty five, twenty six,

382
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: just just just stout, super powerful. He can do some

383
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: high flying stuff. He's got a lot better on the mic,

384
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: Like I think, I think he can go somewhere in

385
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: the next couple of years. So winning a world title

386
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: against someone that's held it for as long as they

387
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 3: have was just unbelievable. So he had the belt for

388
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: five minutes and he got attacked by a gentleman named

389
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: Ricky Shane Page, who I guess had stolen the belt

390
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: from Nick Gage and then spray painted it to say

391
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 3: like RSP or something, so it almost looked like an

392
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: nWo like when Hogan did it. And so at the

393
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: beginning of the show, he came out and was like, look, man,

394
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 3: I made a big mistake, you know, I just I

395
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: want to make things right. So nick Gage hits the

396
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 3: ring and if you'd never seen it, nick Gage comes

397
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 3: out to for him. The bell tolls, so just hearing

398
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 3: the bells ring, it's right at the gear, like, oh shit,

399
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: here comes a funeral or whatever. So he comes out

400
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: and Ricky Shane Page throws the belt down and runs off,

401
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 3: and Nick Gage just basically calls him a pussy for

402
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: like seven minutes. You know, He's just like, you're a pussy.

403
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 3: You're a pussy. I fight my fights, I don't run,

404
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 3: I don't steal shit. You're a pussy. I was like,

405
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 3: holy crap. So he took the belt and just walked

406
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 3: off like whatever. And the two guys that jumped him

407
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: nick Gage were his Ricky Shane Page's entourage or cronies

408
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: or whatever. So then as soon as AJ won, Ricky

409
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: Shane Page came out and attacked him and said, you know,

410
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: this isn't anywhere anytime match, Let's go, and they rang

411
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: the bell and he had like two moves on him

412
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: and pinned him. So so Ricky Shane Page is now

413
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: the new gcwampion and they set that up to where

414
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: you know, obviously him and Nick Gage have some heat.

415
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: And then he got in the ring and said, basically,

416
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: now that I'm the champ officially, you'll never get a

417
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 3: title shot. So I don't know what that means. I

418
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: don't know what will happen with that, so but yeah,

419
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: stack Card. Shout out to my buddy Alex. She came

420

Speaker 3: Twenty first, Yeah, he was there since Sunday in good Spirits.

438
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 3: Asked him about his knee that's what has kept him

439
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: out for a lot of the year, and he says,

440
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: you're ready to go, but he is fighting for the

441
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 3: Southern Underground Pro World champ Championship Bilt And I guess

442
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: we'll go ahead and mention this too. January twenty six,

443
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 3: New Japan Pro Wrestling will be back in Nashville.

444
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: I was literally just about to say that because as

445
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm scrolling through Twitter, one person that stands out the

446
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: most to me right now is uh Toma. Who has

447
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: is that how you say his name?

448
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? Close enough?

449
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm please forgive me my rednecks coming out and I

450
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: can't really read correctly, but there's been a lot of

451
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: Twitter activity between him and Enzo. But he retweeted that

452
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: with the emoji sunglasses, eyes and the signs of the

453
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: devil according to emojibedia. Nice, So that could mean that

454
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: he could be a part of it.

455
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're waiting to see because if you actually go

456
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: on Twitter, it's actually under NJPW of America. They're the

457
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: ones that sent that out. And I was telling you,

458
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: I was telling battle this earlier last year or this

459
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 3: year's we're still in twenty nineteen. Sorry, Earlier this year

460
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 3: when they came to War Memorial, it was like the

461
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: almost their equivalent of NXT. It was like the what

462
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: they call the Young Lions, and it's the people that

463
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 3: are training to get into the main roster or whatever.

464
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: Still a solid show, just because if you're not familiar

465
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: with like the Japanese way of wrestling and how they

466
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 3: approach pro wrestling and matches and stuff, definitely I would

467
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: go watch it just regardless. But now they actually have

468
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: a new Japan Pro Wrestling America, Like there's a division

469
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 3: of it, so it's JPW of America, so they're the

470
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: ones that sent that out. So it's going to be Tampa, Nashville, Raleigh.

471
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: I'm in Atlanta on a nine day tour or whatever.

472
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: So with it being you know, the American version of

473
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: New Japan, they may actually be sending like the big stars,

474
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: like the main roster and stuff. So we'll have to

475
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: wait and see closer to tom what it's going to be. Regardless,

476
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 3: i'd recommend it. That's my mom's birthday, but I'm still

477
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: going to go to it, so I would.

478
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: Uh, it is going to be at War Memorial Auditorium,

479
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm looking at the website.

480
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: Nice and that's just one of the coolest places to

481
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: go to wrestling. I mean, it's it's it's you know,

482
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: it's got the history behind it, but it's it's just

483
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 3: it's awesome that that's usually where NXT goes and I

484
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: love seeing the shows there when they're when they come

485
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: to town.

486
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that's that's gonna be a hell of

487
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: a show. And then also on next Saturday, there's another

488
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: show going on in town. It is Pro Wrestling Entertainment,

489
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: which we've had Jason on the show, who is the

490
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: promoter and of course Alex Taylor, who's their champion. They're

491
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: gonna be doing a show in Portland and it's all

492
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: the d Xmas for kids, and of course the road

493
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: Dog Jesse James will be at that show. And if

494
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: everything goes according to plan, I'll just go ahead put

495
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: this out in the universe. Road Dog will be on

496
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: the show this week, so we'll be talking to him

497
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: about next Saturday's Pro Wrestling Entertainment in Portland Christmas for

498
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: the Kids twenty nineteen, which is gonna be a great show.

499
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: Last year, I believe sid Vicious was at that show.

500
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: Nice in Portland, but Pro Wrestling Entertainment always puts on

501
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: a good show. They've got some great stuff going on there.

502
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: But yeah, so now let's kind of let's talk about

503
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: the big shocker that happened, and we'll talk about the

504
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: people getting released. But the thing that kind of shocked

505
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people is that WWE has already started

506
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: announcing who's going to be in the Hall of Fame.

507
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: And usually they don't do this until like what Royal

508
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: Rumble ish time that they start saying, hey, we're getting

509
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: you ready for Hall of Fame. Here's who's going to

510
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: be in the first kind of person.

511
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they usually do it after the first of the year,

512
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: so I think since I've been back into wrestling, this

513
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 3: was the earliest I can remember them announcing anybody.

514
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: Right, and ESPN broke the news that the nWo is

515
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: the first members going in this year, and then uh,

516
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: they announced ave Batista. But a lot of people were

517
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: really pissed off, and I kind of, you know, at first,

518
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: I kind of thought why but when they when they

519
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: said n WO is going in, when you first think

520
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: of n WO, you're thinking of Hogan, Hall and Nash,

521
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: But this time they're doing Hogan, Hall, Nash, and Sean

522
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: Waltman a K X POC.

523
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I I don't know. I mean I guess overall,

524
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: I probably would have just done the main three, you know,

525
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 3: but when when when he when he jumped ship when

526
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: x POC or six POC whatever you want to call

527
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 3: him one two three kid whatever. Yeah, Yeah, I mean

528
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: he was one of the first big names to join

529
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 3: the nWo, and you know, early on it was just

530
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: Hogan and holland Nash and then they finally started expanding it.

531
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 3: So he was one of the first big ones that

532
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 3: hopped on board and you know, started going by six

533
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: pack and he actually had a really cool shirt that

534
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 3: they released. It was just the six ball from a

535
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: pool table. And but I.

536
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: Remember wanting that shirt. My mom was like, no, you

537
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: can't have that shirt.

538
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, my old drummer from my high school band he

539
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: had that one, and I was I was the sting guy,

540
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 3: so I didn't want it. But but yeah, I don't know.

541
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess I get it, you know, but

542
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 3: it's just I think people have commented is like, well,

543
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: if you're opening the door for not the main three,

544
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 3: like where does it? Scott Stop? I mean, is buff

545
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: Bagwell going to be in there? Is Virgil going to

546
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 3: be in there?

547
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: Like Big Bubba Roger? I mean, Miss Elizabeth.

548
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: There the people were in that by the end.

549
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: Does Muda get a nod to be in there as well?

550
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 3: Well, don't get me started on that. I wore my

551
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 3: Great Moody shirt to the GCWS show the other day

552
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: and got tons of props on it. He should be

553
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 3: in the damn Hall of Fame just as he is,

554
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: you know, much less any other association. But anyways, so,

555
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I get it, but it is kind of

556
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: causing some controversy and we've I think we've talked about

557
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, I've talked about it to someone and

558
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 3: I don't remember if it was you or somebody else.

559
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 3: But you know, I think the WWE needs to make

560
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: an actual hall of fame, like doing an Orlando where

561
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: people already travel for vacations and all that stuff.

562
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: I think we talked about that at raw the other night.

563
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: Maybe we did. Yeah, yeah, I talk about it all

564
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: the time, So who knows. I could have talked about

565
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: it with you a thousand times.

566
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got the warehouse with all that stuff

567
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: just sitting there collecting dots.

568
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: They keep everything, like everything like because I'm all entrance,

569
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: you know, props, all the old belts, all.

570
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: The watching some like documentary or maybe it was just

571
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: a YouTube video that somebody like got to go behind

572
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: the scenes and it was like you know, kindo sticks

573
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: and Andre the Giants boots and this thing and this

574
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: thing and this thing, and I was just like, they

575
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: could literally make so much money if they just said, Okay,

576
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you a tour. And like we kind

577
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: of talked about like setting up that you can walk

578
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: down the ramp of like Summer Slam ninety seven or

579
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, come out to your favorite wrestling superstars theme song. Like,

580
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what person WWE fan or wrestling fan in

581
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: general has always wanted to just be like, you know,

582
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: how awesome would it be to go down the ramp

583
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: to like a song or something?

584
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 3: Yep, And you know, I think it's obviously they've had

585
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: some you know, you know that they've had I don't

586
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: even remember where I was going with that, but no,

587
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: I think, oh, I know what I was gonna say. So,

588
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 3: you know, they've had like the ww restaurant, and you

589
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: know they've had some some obviously xfl bombed and they're

590
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: trying to revise that and stuff. So I mean, they've

591
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: had ventures outside of wrestling that weren't just smashed success.

592
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: So I know they're kind of apprehensive about it. But

593
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 3: I mean, this thing is like a blank check, like

594
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: just just build it and then cash the checks. I mean,

595
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 3: it's it sells itself. I mean, so I don't know,

596
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 3: we'll see.

597
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, fingers crossed. Let's hope that happened. But

598
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: you know there's gonna be of course, there's always gonna

599
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: be controversy of like why is this person going in

600
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: why is this person not going in? I mean, they

601
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: still haven't announced everybody. I'm a little shocked that Batista

602
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: God has got in a like kind of like a

603
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: first ballot kind of guy. Especially, I mean, he's had

604
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: a great career, don't get me wrong, but now this

605
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: whole they announced him, and I think I texted you

606
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: about it the other day. It kind of now makes sense,

607
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: this whole him and Dana Brook thing. Even if it's

608
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: real or not, I don't know, but it's just, you know,

609
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting.

610
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, you know, I think I think that

611
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: I think those seeds were planted, you know. I think

612
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: they might have kind of talked off and on for

613
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 3: a little bit, and so I think all that was

614
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 3: kind of going on before any mention of the Hall

615
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 3: of Fame or anything like that. So I think it's

616
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: just like, you know, I think it's just like just

617
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: the timing. I think it just all kind of hit

618
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: at the same time. You know, I don't I don't

619
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 3: think they're doing it because of them being a couple,

620
00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: you know. So But anyways, our friend KB, who I

621
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: guess we can say was at the show with this

622
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: other night, huge Bautista fan, and she just met him

623
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 3: about three weeks ago. She was at one of the

624
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: comic conferences or something in I think Lexington, Kentucky or Louisville, Kentucky,

625
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: one of the.

626
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: L one of the Kentucky's with an L.

627
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he actually recognized her from Twitter just because

628
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 3: she's always you know, tagging him and stuff or people

629
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: are tagging her with stuff with him, and so so

630
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 3: she's obviously over the moon about it. And you know,

631
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: it's pretty wild because we're gonna we're I mean, we're

632
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: gonna be at the point now where people you know

633
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 3: that we've watched kind of on a regular basis are

634
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: going to start going into the Hall of Fame, you know, and.

635
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: That makes you feel old because what the hell just happened?

636
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 3: So you know, but it'll it'll be, it'll be. It'll

637
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 3: be fun, I guess.

638
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I was kind of going back because we

639
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: had Kevin Nash on the show and we kind of

640
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: there was like a little blurb on the interview where

641
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: we talked about the Hall of Fame and he literally

642
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: said that nWo is going to get in and it

643
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,239
Speaker 1: only makes sense because Hogan lives in Tampa, which then

644
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I was like, well, yeah, I

645
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: mean they don't have to pay to fly Mary Venting

646
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: people down there, because I think Kevin Nash still lives

647
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: in Florida. I think Xbox probably lives down there because

648
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: the Performance Center, and of course Hogan, so you're really

649
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: only fly ning Scott Hall. I think possibly, yeah, but yeah, Kevin,

650
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: Kevin Nash did mention. He did say that, Yeah, I

651
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if AWO got in, which you can

652
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: go back and listen to that episode just kind of

653
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: scroll back down and you can hear everything about Kevin

654
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: Nash and you know it. This is now. Of course,

655
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: when I scrolled through Twitter and I saw that, you know,

656
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: nWo is getting in and Batista's getting in, a lot

657
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: of people are like, okay, are you going to put

658
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: in the entire Heart Foundation? And then you know somebody's like, well,

659
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: you can't put in all of them because of oen

660
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, besides politics and that,

661
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he still deserves to be in there. Yeah, absolutely,

662
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: And then of course you think, well, is the British

663
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: bulldog going to get in if they don't do a

664
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: Heart Foundation? Which I really think that this should be

665
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: the year that he gets in.

666
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's he's a weird one because I mean Vince

667
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: was always high on him and everything, but he never

668
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 3: you know, he was then are kind of ol champion,

669
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 3: but he never got the world title or anything.

670
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: And which I never understood that.

671
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I think part of it was

672
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: like they were you know, I think I think Vince

673
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 3: was convinced that he was going to find a star

674
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: like Hogan, and you know, Hogan had the belt for

675
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 3: like five years or something. I mean like he was

676
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 3: he was, he was it. That's there's no nobody else.

677
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 3: And so I think he because if you go back,

678
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of like old school wrestlers that

679
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 3: were like like Verne Gagne and Bruno Semartino and like,

680
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 3: I mean they had belts for like two, three, four, five,

681
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 3: six years, you know, Nick Bockwinkle. So I think he

682
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 3: was kind of thinking to old school, like, well, shit,

683
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 3: Hogan just had it for five years and took us

684
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 3: to the heights we've never seen before. So in the nineties,

685
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 3: I'll find the next guy and he'll have it for

686
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: you know, two three, four years whatever it is. So

687
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if he was really thinking, like because

688
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 3: once you get to the late nineties, like in the

689
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 3: attitude ere, I mean like they were just I mean,

690
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 3: the world title was changing hands on RALL. I mean,

691
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 3: when was the last time you saw that? You know, Yeah, And.

692
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: It's a shocker that it was doing that because that

693
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: that made you actually tune in, because now as us

694
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: as grown up wrestling fans are like, the ain't nothing

695
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: changing on raw tonight and we don't have to watch it.

696
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 3: No, So I don't know. And then you know, he

697
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 3: went to WCW and you know, it was kind of blackluster,

698
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 3: and then he had that injury. He actually got injured

699
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 3: to Halloween Havoc ninety eight, which was because of that

700
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 3: stupid trapdoor that the Warrior used and one of the

701
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 3: worst matches we've ever seen. And then after that, I

702
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 3: think that's kind of when he got into the prescription stuff.

703
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 3: And then I mean not much longer after that he

704
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 3: was he was gone. So I think it's I think

705
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: I think WWE is just trying. They don't want it,

706
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: like that's why I didn't bring in China. They brought

707
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 3: her in with d X, you know, and I don't

708
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 3: think that they're going to bring in Owen just by himself.

709
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 3: I think it has to be like the Heart Foundation,

710
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 3: and I don't I think they're trying to avoid the

711
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 3: you know, oh the British Bulldog is the next one, like, oh, well,

712
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 3: you know, no one helped him out when he got

713
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 3: injured and then he got in you know, on the

714
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 3: on the you know, pills and whatever. So I think

715
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 3: they're just avoiding it from that reason. But I mean,

716
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 3: I mean people still talk about, you know, the Summer

717
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 3: Slam from Wimbley Stadium, him, Bret Hart, you know, I

718
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: mean he had solid matches and even with the British Bulldogs,

719
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 3: I mean he had you know, he was the tack

720
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 3: team champions several times. And we'll mention the tag team

721
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 3: belts here in a little bit. But but yeah, I

722
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 3: don't know, it's it's yeah, you know, we at the

723
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: end of the day, we're talking about just you know,

724
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: a fake product, you know what I mean, Like it's

725
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 3: all predetermined, it's all choreographed. Same thing with these you know,

726
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 3: who's the champion. It's just an arbitrary you know, it's

727
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 3: just Vince picking you know, who gets into the Hall

728
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 3: of Fame. It's just him and I get it. You

729
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 3: can't put everyone in, you know, I get it. You know,

730
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 3: if you're if you're going for like WCW, you know,

731
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: Tom Zinc, the z Man. Obviously most people don't even

732
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 3: know who that is. He's not going to be in

733
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame. I get it. But there's several

734
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 3: people that were super popular, you know, world champions whatever,

735
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: and like, they're not even in the conversation.

736
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: So it's hard to put Drew carry in for God's sake.

737
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so it's hard to It's hard for

738
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 3: me to look at them and say, okay, cool. So

739
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 3: you not only did you think Donald Trump was a

740
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 3: better choice, you also thought Drew Carey was a better choice.

741
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: And we don't have you know, the Great mood is

742
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 3: not in the Hall of Fame.

743
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: Kid Rocks in there too, by the way.

744
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 3: Oh fuck my life.

745
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: We're not We're not gonna get into politics on here,

746
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 1: by the way, So this is not what you're thinking.

747
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 3: So but yes, yeah, that had That was not a

748
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 3: that was not a political fuck my life concerning him.

749
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: No, no, no, but yeah, like you said, Great Moota deserves

750
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: to be in there. I mean, they there's so many

751
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: people that deserve to get in there, and then they

752
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: got like the celebrity wing of like Bob Barker's in there.

753
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised that Betty White's gonna be the

754
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: celebrity this year, unless unless she's already in there, which

755
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't think she is. I don't Let's see if

756
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: Wikipedia has it up here. I'll look on here and

757
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: we'll just continue this conversation. But yeah, I mean, I

758
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: want to see some good stuff this year, and it's

759
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: in Tampa, so you're you're gonna think a lot of

760
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: people are going to be in there, So let's see.

761
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 3: The only one that I really wanted to make was

762
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 3: when Sting went in and I didn't go to that one.

763
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: And then when I went last last year to the

764
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 3: New Orleans show, I just elected not to go because

765
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 3: they that was Friday night, which is when Joe Janella's

766
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: Spring Break was, so like I went. I chose that

767
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 3: over the Hall of Fame and glad Idea because that's

768
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 3: one of the best shows I've ever been to. It

769
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 3: was really late. I wouldn't do it again. I don't

770
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 3: know it started at midnight, but it actually didn't start

771
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 3: at midnight, and We were there till I think five am,

772
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: so it was a long night. But but yeah, it's

773
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 3: always fun to watch on TV or you know, either

774
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 3: that weekend or after the fact. And it's cool that

775
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 3: they let the King host it. And you know, he's

776
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: gone on record saying that's one of his favorite things

777
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: that he does he's associated with, so I think it's awesome.

778
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: I think they probably could have been doing that a

779
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 3: couple of years before they started that, So I think

780
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 3: it's I think it's cool.

781
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking on here and Pete Rose is in there,

782
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson, Drew Kerry, Donald Trump, mister t Arnold Schwarzenegger,

783
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: Snoop Doggs in there, which anyways, uh well, yeah, I

784
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: mean you could easily, you know, say let's put this

785
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: person in, and let's put this person in, and it's

786
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: just like you're just kind of like why you know, yeah,

787
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: but as.

788
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 3: Of right now, and I know it's just to kind

789
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 3: of get some buzz and I get it, but yeah,

790
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 3: I mean you need to get the wrestlers that need

791
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 3: to be in there first, though, you know what I mean.

792
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: So this could be an interesting thing and I'm just

793
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: looking into it. Of course, Wikipedia people can go in

794
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: and change, but they've already got like and to be

795
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: inducted at twenty twenty. The person that's inducting Bautista's Fit Finley,

796
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: according to Wikipedia. I would hope that Eric Bischoff introduces

797
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: the nWo and induct them.

798
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, it would be I would be very surprised

799
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 3: if it was Fit Finley. But I don't know, maybe

800
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 3: he trained him or something. I mean my guess is

801
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 3: Triple H. But I don't know who knows who's it

802
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 3: going to be.

803
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Rick Flair and Randy Orton could be.

804
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean somebody from Evolution. I think Trivile H

805
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 3: makes the most sense, just obviously, you know, fought his

806
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 3: last match against him. But yeah, that'll be fun to

807
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: kind of speculate heading into it.

808
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: So maybe Evolution gets into the Hall of Fame.

809
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if they do at some point.

810
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: I'd say within the next five to ten years. Mark

811
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 1: my words. As of six fifty seven on Tuesday, December

812
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: Today's Tuesday, right, Yeah, December ten, twenty nineteen, Evolution will

813
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: be into the Hall of Fame within the next to

814
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: five to ten years.

815
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think Triple H will go in first,

816
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 3: or actually he may put Evolution in first and then

817
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 3: go in solo. Like I think, I think he'll have

818
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 3: to be Yeah, I think he'll have to be like

819
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 3: done done before he even considers going in.

820
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: Because I mean Kevin Nash, when I went back and

821
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: listened to it, he was like, Hunter will never put

822
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: himself in. That's why he's putting like the groups in.

823
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: So you know it's I wonder and uh Medusa A

824
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: lunder Blaze put up something on Twitter the other day

825
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: of what female do you want to see go in

826
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame this year? And uh, I think

827
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people are talking about Stacey Keebler.

828
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can see that. I think she was super popular.

829
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 3: You know, I think she did way more than what

830
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 3: everyone was kind of expecting from her. So yeah, we'll see.

831
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: I think that's I mean, that's a good choice.

832
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: So it'll be fun to see over the next couple

833
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 1: of weeks of you know, who's going to go in where,

834
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 1: and this, that and the other. And you know, there's

835
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: there's good stuff with w W at the moment other

836
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: than the Bobby Lashley and rush Off thing. But shout

837
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: out to russ of he's now single and ready to

838
00:42:54,600 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: mingle allegedly allegedly which I saw. I saw on the

839
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: other day at I think it was what last week

840
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: when they did that burnouts with NASCAR in town and

841
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: she was just walking around on Broadway and I was like, hey,

842
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: I know that girl, but nobody was really talking to

843
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: her kind of thing. And I don't want to be

844
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: that awkward and be like, hey, look, you know I

845
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: know you from Ready I do a resident podcast. I

846
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: didn't want to be that guy and that creepy guy.

847
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: So I was just like, I'm just gonna let her

848
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: be herself and just go have fun and do whatever.

849
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, speaking of have fun, because we're going to

850
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: come to a close at the end because I think

851
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: we've done some pretty good talking about this.

852
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 3: I feel like I've done all the talking. I'm going

853
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 3: to look back on this episode with pure disdain. But anyways,

854
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 3: don't do.

855
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: That because I didn't go to the GCW show, so

856
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't put any input into it. That was my

857
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: only thing. If I was there, I could have been like.

858
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 3: Oh, man, at us, I mean you did live there

859
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 3: because I blew up with texts, so.

860
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: Dude, I lived. I was there through spirit and my

861
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: phone on instant stories because Eli was posting so much

862
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: stuff on there. But yeah, some other big news will

863
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: do a quick blue and then we can talk about

864
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: this later. Butwe released this week Luke Harper Sincara, the

865
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: news InCAR, not the original Sincar, and then of course

866
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: the Ascension, which kind of was a shocker for everybody.

867
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: But we'll kind of discuss about that next week and

868
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: where we're our thoughts of where they'll go, because I'm

869
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: pretty sure that within the next several days after this

870
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: episode is out, they'll show up somewhere.

871
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're waiting to see if it's if they have

872
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: the ninety day thing, you know, where they can't go

873
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 3: anywhere for ninety days. I'd be surprised if they didn't.

874
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: I think that's just a standard thing, just one more

875
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 3: way for ww fuck you on the way out. But

876
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 3: they may they may have just waived it, you know,

877
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 3: like all right, because Luke Harper I was thinking about it.

878
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 3: I mean he asked for his release like eight months ago.

879
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: I mean it was like way earlier this year, you know,

880
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 3: so I think maybe because he stuck it out and

881
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 3: short of you know, posting it on Twitter and stuff.

882
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 3: But I mean, I think he kind of kept his

883
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 3: nose down and stuff, so they might have just released

884
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 3: him clean. But a lot of times when they do

885
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 3: those releases, there's a ninety day no complete, no compete clause,

886
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 3: so they can't wrestle anywhere else. So we'll see. It'd

887
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 3: be interesting if, like this week on AW you know,

888
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 3: somebody shows up like, holy shit, that was quick.

889
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: But I would I would like to see the ascension there.

890
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the tag team division is kind of short.

891
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 3: They were freaking awesome in NXT and I don't and

892
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 3: then they got they got called up, and then it

893
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 3: was the NXT lost because it was like.

894
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: They never really did anything.

895
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 3: I know, I know a lot of people it's like

896
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 3: it's kind of you know, it's a it's a popular

897
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 3: subject to talk about. And you know, if you look

898
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 3: at the successes from NXT, Kevin Owens, seth Rawlins, Finn balor,

899
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 3: Sammy's Ain to an extent, you know, I get it.

900
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 3: But you there's a list of probably twenty times as

901
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 3: many people that were huge in NXT that they haven't

902
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 3: done anything with on the main roster, And I get it. Yeah,

903
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 3: not everyone's going to translate the right way or they

904
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 3: just don't. But I mean, you look at Alistair Black.

905
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 3: What the fuck are they doing with Alistair Black? He's

906
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 3: incredible and nothing like.

907
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: That, just a knock on the door thing. Him and

908
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: Buddy Murphy, which I'm okay with this.

909
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean even Bobby Rude, he got way over.

910
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 3: He was probably as over an NXT as he ever

911
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: was an impact. You know, he was the NXT champion,

912
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 3: gets up, I mean he gets the US belt, so

913
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 3: yay for that, and then nothing, you know, and.

914
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: It's just like suspended.

915
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's like for every success someone tells me

916
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 3: for NXT, I can give them two or three examples

917
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 3: where they dropped the ball and it's like, dude, they

918
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 3: were the most over person on NXT, how could you

919
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 3: fuck that up? Hey, they were the most over tag

920
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 3: team on the planet. How could you break them up?

921
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 3: Or you know, talking about like American Alpha, like so

922
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 3: the Ascension, American Alpha, end Zone casts, freaking the Ascension,

923
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 3: even Authors of Pain, which they're starting to come back around.

924
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 3: But I mean, like they were monsters in NXT and

925
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 3: then nothing's really happening now.

926
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: At the moment.

927
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and but I was watching, Yeah, I

928
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 3: saw a picture of them all coming out together. Is

929
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 3: like whatever, But I mean the ascension was freaking awesome

930
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 3: in NXT, so like I think, I think they've got

931
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: a lot of gas laugh. Same thing with Sin Carrs,

932
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 3: the same thing with Luke Harper. So we'll see, we'll

933
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 3: see where everything is. I think there's gonna be a

934
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 3: lot of this going forward in the next few years,

935
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 3: you know, just big, big departures, big signings, surprise appearances,

936
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 3: you know, just all kinds of weird stuff going forward.

937
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

938
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. But yeah, so we're now towards

939
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 1: the end of the show, so we do have some

940
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: cool stuff. As you know, me and Eli are kind

941
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: of like wrestling belt people, and uh we like to

942
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: collect wrestling belt So we both got new wrestling belts

943
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: in which is an exciting time. A belt that I

944
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: grew up falling in love with and I always was like,

945
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: if I ever had the chance, I would own this belt.

946
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: And I actually was able to get the original WWF

947
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: Big Wing Championship Belt.

948
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 3: The Wing deal.

949
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and that thing is amazing and we'll actually

950
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: post some photos. I got it from First Choice Belts,

951
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: which you can hit them up on Instagram at first

952
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: Underscore Choice zero three zero three and you can actually

953
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: see the little photo of me with the belt on

954
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: their Instagram page. And that thing is heavy as yeah,

955
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: like I said, he's gonna have to bleep it out. Yeah,

956
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: I wish I.

957
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 3: Had that one. I am in a belt group, if

958
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 3: you want to call it that whatever, and they do

959
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 3: raffles periodically and it's like, you know, twelve bucks for

960
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,760
Speaker 3: a spot, and then they just do it by the lottery.

961
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 3: So they do the power ball and so they get

962
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 3: you know, spots one through twenty eight or whatever it is,

963
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 3: and you buy a spot and then whoever gets you know,

964
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 3: whatever the number is for the power ball, that's who won.

965
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 3: So did the first one bombed? Did the second one?

966
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 3: And I paid thirty two bucks or thirty six bucks?

967
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 3: I think I bought two spots and I paid thirty

968
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 3: six bucks and I won the same belt that you have,

969
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 3: but mine came from the WWE shop, so it says WWE,

970
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 3: which kind of irks me because it was the WWF

971
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 3: belt and that's the one that you have. But they

972
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 3: don't sell those anymore because of the lawsuits. So if

973
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 3: you get an official WWE, it all says WWE. So

974
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 3: I'm actually jealous that you have that one. That's I

975
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 3: really wish mine s at WWF. But anyways, either either

976
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 3: here tonother.

977
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's a nice belt. We'll have

978
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: to take photos. We'll do some like random photo shoot

979
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: just with the belts. That's that's what we'll do. But yeah,

980
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: I got a hell of a deal on it. So

981
00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: if you're looking to get a belt, hit them up.

982
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: But also there's another belt provider that we absolutely love

983
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: as well that ELI has bought several belts from and

984
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: I've tried to play the lottery game with them and

985
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: I've failed miserably four times. So I'm just kind of

986
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: like it's not my time to get one yet.

987
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do. They do raffles for theirs too, I forgot. Yeah,

988
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 3: so I bought a belt from a company called Fan

989
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 3: Do Fa n Du and they I really, I honestly

990
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 3: don't know their story. I think they're from where we're

991
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 3: China or Japan or something, I don't know, and they

992
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 3: like their I think they're claim to fame as the

993
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 3: Big Gold, which is the Rick Flair belt. If you

994
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 3: don't know what that is. They make all kinds of

995
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 3: variations of that. So that was the first one I

996
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 3: bought from them. I bought there. It was technically the

997
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 3: antique look, so it's kind of the the you know,

998
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 3: old brownish looking color. And then I put it on

999
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 3: a brown strap instead of the traditional what you saw

1000
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 3: on TV was gold on black, So I just kind

1001
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 3: of changed it up. And it's incredible. Like there, their

1002
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 3: craftsmanship and their detail is just leaps above what you

1003
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 3: get from the WWE shops. So I've gotten several of

1004
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 3: the belts that I've wanted, you know, like the ones

1005
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 3: I've always been like, that's one of my favorite belts

1006
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 3: are Man, I'd love to own that one. So I'm

1007
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 3: getting towards the end of my list. I looked at it.

1008
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 3: I think I have three left and then that's that's it.

1009
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: So I think I still have several left to you know,

1010
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: I've only got two right now in my possession.

1011
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it spirals out of control, so you got

1012
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 3: to watch it. But one of my favorite, I mean,

1013
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 3: I can go ahead and say it. It is my favorite

1014
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 3: tag team belt of all time, but one of my

1015
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 3: favorite belts of all time. Was. They call it the

1016
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 3: the WWF Bulldog Tag Team Belt, and that one was

1017
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 3: held from everyone from the British Bulldogs to the Heart Foundation,

1018
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 3: Legion to Doom Demolition up until probably at least two

1019
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 3: thousand and two one, and then they kind of tweaked

1020
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 3: the design a little bit, so you know, New Age

1021
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:09,280
Speaker 3: Outlaws had it. Frick, I don't know, Caine and Undertaker,

1022
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 3: I think I had them. At some point when Rock

1023
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 3: and Mankind the Rock and SOT connection, they had those belts.

1024
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 3: So like that was the belt for probably fifteen years

1025
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 3: as far as tag teams go, and Fendu makes a

1026
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 3: really good version of it. They can't legally put WWF

1027
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 3: on there, and they can't legally put WWE, so they

1028
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 3: have it's actually says f WF, so it kind of

1029
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 3: kind of looks like it. And then you can also

1030
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 3: get one that has a crown on it instead of

1031
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 3: the letters, and so I'll post pictures on that as

1032
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 3: well on the Battleground Pod Instagram. I went with the

1033
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 3: black belt with the red backing, and that's the one

1034
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 3: that Animal takes with him when he goes to cons

1035
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 3: and conventions and stuff. And obviously, since we got the

1036
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 3: chance to talk to him earlier this year. I just

1037
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 3: if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

1038
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 3: So that's the one I got, And of course you

1039
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 3: have to And I think that's just Fando Belts. I

1040
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 3: think that's their Instagram and Twitter and everything, and yeah,

1041
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 3: definitely check them out. I think their sale, the sale

1042
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 3: that I got this one on, I think it goes

1043
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 3: through this coming weekend, so you still got a few

1044
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,600

00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: So, yeah, we'll do that. And yeah, so I guess

1074
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: that's it. I still haven't figured out a catchphrase to

1075
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: say goodbye because I don't want to do happy trails.

1076
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to say oh, two fingers and albo

1077
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: I'm out because that's what I say on radio.

1078
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess we can throw out the I mean,

1079
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 3: we won't get into the full details, but we've got

1080
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 3: a we're getting set up to where we're going to

1081
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 3: be able to do I guess like on WW on

1082
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 3: the network, they do right along as I guess this

1083
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 3: would be like a text along, but it's basically kind

1084
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 3: of like a group thing, and we'll be able to

1085
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 3: set it up and then send you a code. So

1086
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 3: if you want to, like say the Royal Rumble, if

1087
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 3: you want to just be in a big group chat

1088
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 3: thing facilitated by us, like we'll be the ones kind

1089
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 3: of coordinated and everything. Then you know, we might start

1090
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 3: live chatting and live tweeting. I guess it's more live

1091
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 3: chatting live chatting like some of the big pay per

1092
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 3: views and stuff like that. So we're going to experiment

1093
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 3: with it and kind of see what it looks like

1094
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 3: and then you know, if it turns out pretty cool,

1095
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 3: then we'll start getting the listeners on and then it'll

1096
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 3: be cool.

1097
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll do that and we'll send out some

1098
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: more information on that once we kind of play around

1099
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: and figure out how we want to do this. But

1100
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: in the meantime that concludes the show, Like I feel

1101
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: like I should sing something, but I'm not going to.

1102
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: That's I really want to figure out a catchphrase. That's

1103
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: what I We've got to figure out a catchphrase to

1104
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: end the show. I don't want to go whoop woop

1105
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: because that's somebody else's who's in trouble because it's something

1106
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,919
Speaker 1: on the internet. But that's another story for another day.

1107
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 3: Anyway, you could just start stealing people's like trademark lines

1108
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 3: or gimmicks and just just out of context, just all

1109
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 3: you know, so just like, well, if that's the show

1114
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 1: bottom line because the show is over there you go.

Speaker 3: weeks and then we'll be like this is lame.

1117
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: We got to come up with something better until we

1118
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: get in trouble for it. Anyways, that's the end of
