Yeah, some factions are built to lose, not 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: to win, not to take over, but to give everything up. 21 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: One of these was the Job Squad, and there's definitely 22 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: been more than one. But the Job Squad consisted of 23 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: Al Snow, Bob Holly, Gilbert, the Blue meanie in another faction? 24 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: Is he as great as Rick Flair? 25 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: What? 26 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: No, But this was formed in the nineties, and I 27 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: love the Blue meeting. 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: The job Squad. 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: By the way, By the way, the job Squad is hysterical. 30 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: Al Snow is hysterical. He used to get away with 31 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: tons of shit on TV. He had his mannequin head 32 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: named Head, and he would go out and go, what 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,279 Speaker 1: is everybody on the crowd? 34 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: What tonight?

That would 40 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: never get away. There's no way you could get away 41 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: with that. Now you would have mom groups with nothing 42 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: to do on blogs. So these guys would go out 43 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: there and they literally had a slogan for those who 44 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: aren't aware of them. It was called pin me and 45 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: pay me, And that was like, it's so behind the 46 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: fourth wall. It was so fairis Bueller like looking at 47 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: the camera and letting the crowd, letting the audience into 48 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: his like inner monologue and his thoughts, like I thought 49 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: it was so next level to just sort of like 50 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: put it out there like that, like, yeah, man, I 51 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: don't you have a shit, And somehow we still cared 52 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: about them. Now, I'm not saying they're one of the 53 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: greatest factions of all time, but they're worthy of note. 54 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: I think there should always be room for comedy and wrestling, 55 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: and I thought they were great at that go ahead. 56 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 4: The name alone is worthy of praise because I always 57 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 4: tell people when they ask, oh, you have a wrestling 58 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 4: park with Freddy Prince Junior, say, oh, yeah, you should 59 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 4: listen to it. But if you're not a big wrestling fan, 60 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 4: just so you know, you know, we talk about wrestling, 61 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 4: so if you want to hear about me and Freddy's lives, 62 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: you're not going to get a ton of that on 63 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 4: our podcast. And also there's a little bit, yeah, a 64 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: little bit sometimes, but like a lot of the terms 65 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 4: we might use, like strap or pl e or putting 66 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 4: over or jobber or any of these kind of or 67 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 4: mark any kind of these wrestling words. 68 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: You kind of like, there's the jobber is the best one, dude, 69 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: That's the best word out of all wrestling terms for sure. 70 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 4: And they put a wrestling term just right, and then 71 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 4: it were the job squad we get we would, So 72 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 4: it was really kind of like ahead of its time 73 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 4: of like being inside baseball, but also. 74 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: Like letting the fan. I just think the name is great. 75 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 4: Pin me and pain me as a jobb or is 76 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 4: like it's just so perfect, say like I'd love to 77 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 4: have seen who pitched that or how it got pitched 78 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: or that. I imagine there was a lot of chuckles 79 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 4: in the writer's room of like, oh, that's a good idea, 80 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 4: like get a. 81 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: The wrestlers came up with it. 82 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: I wrestlers came up with it and then pitched it 83 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: and got it through and then it started getting written. 84 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: But I'm at the wrestlers. 85 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 4: It feels like an indie idea, like I'm a jobb 86 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 4: or baby pin me and pay. 87 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: Me, Like it feels like like I'll bet al Snow's 88 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: on social media. 89 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: We should just reach out and you come up with 90 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: that shit really good. 91 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 4: I love it so much, but obviously not my favorite faction, 92 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 4: but a very worthwhile mention. 93 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: There was also the Corporation, and this was another Attitude 94 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: era one which I came in near the end of 95 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: the Corporation when the Rock was turning on them and 96 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: was no longer the corporate Rock. But this was led 97 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: by Vincent Kennedy McMahon and it had the Rock, had 98 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: Big Boss Man and had Ken Shamrock. You know, they 99 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: were the authority of the of the w W because 100 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: they had Vince And it was basically a catalyst for 101 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: Stone Cold to have beef with people and beat the 102 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: crap out of everybody during like his highest moment in 103 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: wrestler was probably the highest in wrestling based on the numbers. 104 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: That they were doing back then. 105 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: But it gave him the ultimate antagonist, right, and this 106 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: was more of you know, everyone hates their boss at 107 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: some point in their life. Well, who gets to actually 108 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: punch their boss in the face. One man, one man 109 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: on the whole planet gets to actually punch their butty. 110 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: Now you could do with Jeff. You could punch our 111 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: bosses in the face, but you get fired. Stone Cold 112 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Steve Austin could kick you in the nuts, punch you 113 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: in the face, pour beer all over your head, do 114 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: whatever he wants to you. And the next week that 115 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: dude is at work and everything's cool and he's getting 116 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: a paycheck, and it made him the coolest son of 117 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: a bitch ever. Yeah, ever, it's why he's almost everyone's 118 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: number one favorite except me. Like it's I genuinely believe 119 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: that to this day. He got to beat the shit 120 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: out of his boss and go to work the next 121 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: day and get a check that was the exact same 122 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: size as the one last week, and it makes him 123 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: the coolest son of a bitch ever. So the Corporation, 124 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: I would say, not a successful faction because they had 125 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: to go against the great One. Not the great one, 126 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: that's the rock, one of the greatest ones ever, Stone Cold. 127 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: Steve Auston, did you like the Corporation or were you 128 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: not watching back then? 129 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: I thought it was fine. I think that they served 130 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: a purpose. 131 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 4: You might as well have called them the job Squad, 132 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like it was the same thing. 133 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 2: So that was yeah, that's good in our jobber theme 134 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 2: perfectly fit exactly what it needed to do. So good 135 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 2: for them and good for Stone Cold. A couple more 136 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: that will briefly gloss over. 137 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: We had the Ministry of Darkness that was led by 138 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: the Undertaker. I always prefer Undertaker by himself or a 139 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: little bit with Brothers of Destruction, but Undertaker solo is 140 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: always my favorite. We mentioned the Spirit Squad. AEW had 141 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: the Inner Circle with Chris Jericho, Samy Gevara, j Hager, 142 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: Santana and artist that was prominent before I was really 143 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: watching AW so I kind of only got the end 144 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,119 Speaker 1: of that. But here's one that's a little more new 145 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: that we love, and it's The Judgment Day. 146 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: Jeff. 147 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: Yes, The Judgment Day debuted with Edge Adam Copeland putting 148 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: a spotlight on some wrestlers that he didn't feel we're 149 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: getting enough shine, that he respected very much, and they 150 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: turned on him and gave us some pretty sick matches. 151 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: Damian Priest versus Edge in Toronto. You guys should watch 152 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: that match. It's like fight choreography. It's really cool. Edge 153 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: is no longer there, he's Adam Copeland in AEW. But 154 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: the Judgment Day stayed and Rea Ripley and Damian Priest 155 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: and Finn Balor and Dominic Mysterio like, I don't I 156 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: can't say like, and this person made it work because 157 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: they've all made it work. JD McDonough taken shots for 158 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: everybody out there. Somebody's got to do that job, and 159 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: he does it better than anyone with that huge freaking 160 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: melon just blow gets kicked in the head every week. 161 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: Can't take a concussion because it's like, who Leo says, 162 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: our Chavez a skull, It's thicker than the average skull. 163 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: But dude, I freaking love the Judgment Day. I love 164 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: Dominic Mysterio. I still think he's just a misunderstood young 165 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: man and real Ripley is the shit. 166 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: That's all I'm gonna say. 167 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: I'll let you take it away. 168 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: No, I agree with everything you just said. I like 169 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 4: also that they feel like a time capsule. The Judgment 170 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 4: Day feels like when wrestling was at its height of 171 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 4: like nineties ish. It has this kind of like SLC 172 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 4: punk kind of like we we the music they listen 173 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: to the look of it is very hot topic ish, 174 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 4: you know, like kind of like you know, like. 175 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: That it's a picture.

I mean, like it 176 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: has hot topic. 177 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 4: But it works, like you said, and it isn't any 178 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 4: one person. It's kind of like everything they do works, 179 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 4: and I like it where it's also making stars, you know, 180 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 4: like Finn was probably bigger before he came to Judgment Day, 181 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 4: but you can't say that about Damian Priest. Damien pri 182 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 4: this is a star now, and he started with them 183 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 4: with that Rio Ripley. It was a star in the making, 184 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 4: and now she's easily, in my opinion, the best female wrestler. 185 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 4: And that is that came out of Judgment Day Dom. 186 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 4: I was on this exact podcast talking trash about Dom 187 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 4: every single week, and now he's one of my favorite wrestlers. 188 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: And that the guy may do. 189 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: He's absolutely brilliant and all of them are great, and 190 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 4: it's not like Finn got worse or anything, but I 191 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 4: think that Finn is just, you know, that's that's where 192 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: he's at right now, and then he's gonna do it again, hopefully. 193 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 4: But I think that the Judgment Day rules, and I 194 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 4: like every single decision they've made. 195 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: Two time Raw Tag Team Champions, two time SmackDown Tag 196 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: Team Champions, WWE Tag Team Champion, You Undisputed, one time 197 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: Ria Ripley SmackDown Women's Champion, also Royal Rumble winner Dominic Mysterio. 198 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: This title kind of sucks, but he was at XD 199 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: North American Champion, two times count Damian Priest, winner of 200 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three Men's Money in the Bank contract, 201 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: and the World Heavyweight Champion, eventually losing it. To Kunther, 202 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: that's pretty good accomplishments for only being around a couple 203 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: of years too. Oh yeah, Like that's a legit faction 204 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: all day long, all right, you guys. Next up a 205 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: little more comedy, well, gloss over three MB because that's 206 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: a that's a forgetable time in wrestling. But that was 207 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre, and Gender Mahaal. That was twenty twelve, 208 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: shortly after I had left the company for the second time. 209 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: I like all those guys, that just was the wrong 210 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: thing for all of them. Look where Drew McIntyre's at now, 211 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: and look what they had him frigging doing before he 212 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: left the company and had to be like, yo, I 213 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: got to get the f out of here. They do 214 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: not see it in me. And then he leaves, comes back, 215 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: he's the same dude. He's still solid on the mic, 216 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: he's still super humongous, he still wrestles like a stud. 217 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: Now he's you know, top one of the top dudes. 218 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: All right. 219 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: But another comedy bit that I personally love, I know 220 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: not everyone does, but it was Santino Morella and Vladimir Coslaw. 221 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: Now listen, this was a two man faction. I might 222 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: throw Beth Phoenix in there for a little bit because 223 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: she had, you know, the love affair with Santino when 224 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: she was winning all. 225 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 2: The matches for him. But these two dudes. 226 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: I happened to work there then, and Santino had this 227 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: thing where if he wasn't able to make the other 228 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: person in this in the skit laugh, then he didn't 229 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: think he did a good job. And so all he 230 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: wanted to do is make you break character. And sometimes 231 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: we would do a segment like three four times and 232 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: he would be completely different every single time because all 233 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: he wants to do is find a way to make 234 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: you laugh. And there'd be times where we got it 235 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: like three times. I'm like, dude, it's really good, and 236 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: if he breaks, I'm not going to send it anyway. 237 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no, if he breaks, you gotta send it. 238 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 1: You gotta send it. And we'd be like, all, r 239 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: I do one more time, and Tony would do it, 240 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: or Santino would do it one more time, and like, 241 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, make John Cena break, or make Flat break, 242 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: or make he made me break. When we when I 243 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: hosted the General Manager spot it came out. He's like, 244 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: mister Junior, let me tell you something. 245 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 2: I was right away and she's still. 246 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: Whatever he called me. It was something like that. But 247 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: they were super funny and I just wanted to give 248 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: them a little love. I know that it's not worthy 249 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 1: of most people's lists, but that's my honorable mention. I 250 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: know you have an honorable mention. 251 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: Yes, go ahead, and I feel like it's fitting for 252 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 4: our podcast. The faction that doesn't get in Left Love 253 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 4: because the Attitude era was so popular is the low 254 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 4: Spa Equas. 255 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: The Puerto Rican group. 256 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 4: Salvio Vega was the leader. 257 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 2: They would come out. 258 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 4: And what was interesting about them to me was that 259 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 4: they were heels right, so they would come out and 260 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 4: like all these for a lack of better term, you know, 261 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 4: poor white trash kind of wrestling fans would be like. 262 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: Boom, say us say, well, this is. 263 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: Nineteen ninety eight. I don't know if anybody's aware of 264 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 4: how like the world works, but Puerto Rico has been 265 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 4: part of our country since eighteen ninety eight. That's equally 266 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 4: one hundred years. It's a perfect one hundred years that 267 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 4: Puerto Rico has been a part of America, and people 268 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 4: are going boom America, Puerto Rico, USA, USA, and then 269 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 4: you got them chanting USA because the Canic because they 270 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 4: went back and forth with the Heart Foundation, they went 271 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 4: back and forth with the Nation of Domination, they went 272 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 4: back and forth with all these things that were going 273 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 4: on in WB. 274 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 2: At the time. 275 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 4: But it was it's just so funny because they were 276 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 4: a great faction and they were also banking on the 277 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 4: confusion that is the American government and territories, which I 278 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 4: just thought was hilarious. 279 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 2: But also, Savio Vega was a start dude. I liked. 280 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 2: Saveo was the man dude. Savio was cool as hell. 281 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a good wrestler, and it was very underrated 282 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 4: for like that era. In my opinion, I agree. The 283 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 4: other guys didn't really pop much. They didn't have huge 284 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 4: wrestling careers at least. 285 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 2: Sorry, not every faction has to pop. You just have 286 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 2: to have, you know, the report serves their purpose. 287 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right. 288 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: Well, gloss over the Mean Street Posse with Shane McMahon. 289 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: Great music. They did have good music, and we'll finish. 290 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: With something current and with the potential to go on forever. 291 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: One of the most beautiful families in professional wrestling. We're 292 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: going to close out with the Bloodline with its different factions, 293 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: with its different leaders, with the fights going on back 294 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: and forth, with the stars that it's already been able 295 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: to make wear wolves and with Solo Soca enforcers that 296 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: we didn't even know if they could talk to being 297 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: the leader of it, to Roman Reigns losing his championship 298 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: to Cody, to returning back and not even having the 299 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: necklace to wear. They literally gave us, Like Sampunk and 300 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: Drew mac entire months back, gave us a reason to 301 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: fight over a bracelet. These men have given us a 302 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: reason to fight over a necklace. Like that's what it 303 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: soon will be, fighting over pinky rings and belly button 304 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: piercings and things like that, as long as they root 305 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: it in organic stories and everything the Bloodline's done has 306 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: been organic. You can stretch that word a little bit 307 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: with the Sammy's ain era, but he was still really 308 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: effective in that storyline, even though it wasn't one hundred 309 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: percent believable because you're like. 310 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: Man, they just punk this guy out. I love this storyline. 311 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: It's hard to put it as like a top three 312 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: for me because there's so many great ones and I 313 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: don't want to be like just caught up in the moment. 314 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: You almost have to look at it when it has 315 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: like a lull and look back and be like, wow, 316 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: this was really great. But I think it's still gonna 317 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: make it into my top three because I just from 318 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: where it could go from here and the amount of 319 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: like Samoans that are in the wrestling business, and you 320 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: never know who's gonna pop, like you never know where 321 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: you're going to find your next star. I just think 322 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: it has so much potential that I think it makes 323 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: my top three. 324 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 4: Dude, I think it's a lot of the factions right. 325 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 4: There's no the Main Street Posse. He's not still going on, 326 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 4: you know, the the dx's be sick, a lot of 327 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 4: sweater vests. 328 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: The DX is over, nWo is over. 329 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: So it's easy for us to look back on these 330 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 4: things that were either twenty years ago, maybe longer, or 331 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 4: maybe they only lasted a year or five years. The 332 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 4: bloodline is something that is so good that we could 333 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 4: be this could live on for so long and in 334 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 4: the short time that we've already had. The bloodline, which 335 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 4: is why it might make my top three is because 336 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 4: it's it's given us a great Paul Hayman has reinvented 337 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 4: himself by being part of this bloodline. 338 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: Same as he felt sorry for Paul Haymen, we felt 339 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: sorry for us. 340 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 4: Now good it is. That's how good the story is. 341 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 4: We got the Rock back, and now the Rock makes 342 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 4: sense coming back to wrestling because it is his bloodline. 343 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 4: And so there's so many good ways that we've gone 344 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 4: with us. We get to see young guys and we 345 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 4: don't feel like it's weird that they're just being put 346 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 4: right at the top of the wrestling hierarchy. 347 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 2: Because they are in their It's yeah, they've never felt weird. 348 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 2: It's in their blood. We go there in the bloodline. 349 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: That's how this works. 350 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 4: So there's so it's it's the gift that keeps giving 351 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 4: and it's branching off like a nice tree. It also 352 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 4: kind of ties back these older guys who you know, 353 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 4: are getting really up there in age, but like we 354 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 4: get to honor them, and we get to honor the family, 355 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 4: and we get to like see this stuff. But it 356 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 4: also great's great storylines, great inner turmoil with the family. Also, 357 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 4: who is the family feuding with I think it's the 358 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 4: gift that keeps giving, and I think that it has 359 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 4: the legs to maybe be the greatest faction of all time. 360 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: I love that, dude. 361 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 2: I love that. 362 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: It's so funny, like wrestling has tried to do like 363 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: Italian mob type factions and it's never worked once. 364 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 2: I wonder why. 365 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: I think it works so well with the Samoan family 366 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: acting mobbish based on everything you just said, Like, it's 367 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: just it's so organic, it's so truthful because they're really 368 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: living that life. Yeah, it is. It is that life 369 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: that is the family business. It's like the family business 370 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: is being a professional wrestler at some level. The stars 371 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: sometimes are not sometimes somewhere in the middle. 372 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, wrestling is Southern White American, Canadian, Mexican and Samoan 373 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 4: and so Japanese.
