11:52
creator for wrestling, So chat moving. I can't even keep up with it.
11:56
Sorry, today live for three hundreds of schools out guys. I think
12:01
the best part of the not just the the Patreon, but the not just
12:05
the podcast, but the whole everything, the whole family, has been this
12:09
Facebook group that we have in the community we built, and of course you
12:11
get access to that Facebook group on Major Marx dot Com. We're not gonna
12:15
we're not gonna spend this three hundred episode plug it away Major Marx dot Com.

12:20
plug the card right, Mark. We have some cards coming out, the

It's a champion in pro wrestling. It's a big one champion. Boiler alert
12:46

12:48
chat, we will throw it on screen there. Tyler says. Updated room
12:52
tours. I know for a fact I'm doing one very soon. I'm like
12:58
finalizing one corner of my room and I'm going to do an entire one for
13:01
the first time ever. Broke Mine is on here on YouTube on our channel
13:05
for free. Yeah, Brian, you have two because you did not originally.
13:09
Yeah, there's the old school one and then was completely reconstructed and redone
13:13
and that's not even a year old. Can't because actually Mother's Day weekend last
13:16
year was my first weekend back in my house after getting all the construction done,
13:22
so I know. So check that out from Brian in transition. Yeah,
13:26
no, I mean I do have a toy room up tour up there,
13:28
but it's uh, it's it's old, it's outdated. My new one
13:31
is not gonna be till the next house is built. Maybe I'll give you
13:35
an office tour, an updated office tour the next couple of weeks. Is
13:37
your room with the stuff just a complete disaster? Or is it? Like
13:41
nice? It's a disaster. I got fucking matel's all over the place.
13:46
I'm trying to do a big Mattel purge. But everybody liked the video.
13:50
What about this video? Everyone liked this video, Right, That's what I'm
13:52
saying. Everybody liked this video, so it'll help the algorithm. Guys,
13:56
do you want to talk about some of our memories? I got some I
14:00
got some uh stuff that we can show. You want to say, it's
14:05
it's almost six years, right, we're gonna we're gonna celebrate six years in
14:07
August two. No, we made the decision it was going to be the
14:11
one hundred episodes now right, And like six is such a weird number,
14:16
Like yeah, well what yeah, I think we acknowledged this. Three hundred
14:22
episodes, like you said to start the show, never missed, never a
14:24
best of. That's pretty impressive, man, A lot of podcasts that that's
14:30
not the case always, you know, and now that we're live, live
14:31
and that we have a lot of witnesses. Whose idea was it to start
14:35
the major recipe podcast? Still loud? I've always given you credit, but
14:39
yeah, it was just one thing that Uh whose idea was to bring in
14:43
Mark Sterley? Why did know? He was so? Yeah? You win
14:45
that? Who even I have edited our show? Chichi? You know I
14:50
could have had Brian, I mean berkey, Well, I mean the first
14:58
time we ever recorded, we were just we didn't do video. We thought
15:01
it was forty five minutes. We think there's gonna be YouTube merged, social
15:03
media. It's just me and you on your couch. Let's think it's evolved.
15:07
Let's let's let's go back to memory lane. Here. I'll show you
15:11
the video the podfather of col Cobana, he lent us his original podcast equipment
15:16
to start. Wow, wait, you have a video book, I have
15:20
I have the video right here. Uh, I'll show you exactly what you
15:26
guys talked about in the very first open of this podcast. Uh, let's
15:33
see here. First episode. Let's go in at our Superstar edge you had
15:39
listening to the Major podcast. You see what they did there. They put
15:43
in Major because they used to be the Major brothers. Get it, You
15:46
get it, and Zach, you're never coming on the inc pot of awesomeess.
15:50
Ever so long ago he had a podcast Podcasteah the Music that We Still
15:58
Hallo and Welcome to the debut slash pilot episode the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast.
16:07
I'm host Pilot WWS aka Brian Myers. You need to be a little more
16:15
enthusiastic, you're like, Welcome everyone to the debut edition of the Major Wrestling
16:21
Figure Podcast. I'm your host, Matt Cardona, also known as Zach Ryder
16:25
WW Superstar. Here's my co host. Yeah, but this is mostly casual
16:30
and you're doing your fake, fake story and voice said and early. You
16:36
gotta, you know, excite the audience. They're driving their home, maybe
16:41
the work, maybe they're working out. Like we're talking about toys, like
16:45
how how excited can you get action figures? Action figures toys and all the
16:49
above. I feel like this has been a long time coming and people kind
16:55
of need an explanation of I think why it took so long, why we're
16:59
doing it in the first place. You know, maybe people aren't familiar with
17:02
why we think we're so qualified to sit here and talk about and right off
17:07
the bat, this isn't a podcast about wrestling news or backstage wrestling stuff.
17:11
This is strictly about figures and wrestling figures and our our love for figures,
17:15
and maybe other collectibles and maybe some T shirts stuff like that thrown in there.
17:21
We'll dabble over the place man airmen McBride from day one, huh.
17:26
I thought the vibe is still on point, you guys. The sound is
17:30
very similar and it's what's made us work for us twenty years. We've rotht
17:34
here very yin and yang and many aspects of life. So that's why we're
17:40
a good team. I forgot that he like put on that rule. That
17:45
what I did just to kind of, you know, show Brian, come
17:48
on, let's oh yeah, how it's done in the podcast business. But
17:52
one thing I could tell that I hate right away is like we didn't have
17:56
fucking stands for the mic, so you could hear the wire like I guess
18:00
the couch or something. I mean, that was for a long time,
18:03
everything podcast you did on the road, you could hear that. I didn't
18:07
think it was that big of a deal. I will also tell you this,
18:11
the first cut of the podcast, I edited some things out, like
18:17
I thought that I was supposed to edit, so like when you guys repeated
18:21
yourselves or whatever, I was like, really editing. I was cutting out
18:23
ums right. Well, no, Brosky told I sent you guys the link.
18:29
Brosky listened to it. He goes, what happened to them when I
18:30
said this? And I said, oh I edited out? He goes,
18:34
just leave it all in. So I was like, okay. The authenticity
18:40
and the realness is also been another staple of the show for three hundred episodes.
18:45
I don't even add all funk ups now, I mean we mess up
18:47
right? Well, now you know we take a shot of PP. You
18:49
know it's gonna happen, all right, So here is now how about this
18:56
bare minim? Guys Rightyan is the first person to upload his own video on
19:02
the YouTube channel. Brian did it. It's true. I don't remembering a
19:08
positive light of it, but there's no way that's true. It's true.
19:11
You were the you know we The first video we had on the on the
19:14
channel was our toy drive which nobody every year nobody watches. We decided we
19:19
discovered that you guys hate charity because Roberts is still never donated. Then Roberts
19:26
has never donated, and you guys don't watch the YouTube blog about it.
19:30
So well, here's the open to Brian's first video. This is the first
19:33
unboxing video and first extracurricular video on our channel. What's up, everybody,
19:47
It's Brian Myers, a k a. Back Door Hawkins Old today. That's
19:53
part of the Major Wrestling Figure podcast YouTube channel, bringing a little unboxing video
20:02
today. In particular, we'll be diving deep into this Shane Douglas nineteen ninety
20:07
nine e c w's original San Francisco Towy Harris so short. Well, that
20:14
was in the growing face. But why am I opening that? Shane Douglas?
20:17
And with my main concern what do you mean? Because I have all
20:19
my childhood originals and then I have the autograph, I'm like, what am
20:22
I doing? Maybe you just bought one on box Maybe I think you?
20:26
I think you. It was the big head situation. This was a long
20:30
time ago. You were like trying to remember, why what on earthought would
20:33
do that? Getting a big head thing. I'm not really sure. Maybe
20:37
you just wanted it to do it. Because you did, it's very possible.
20:41
Wow, here's the open to uh to Broski's first video. Oh boy,
20:48
uh okay, here we go Matt's first upload. You did a retro
20:56
roue. Hey guys, welcome to the Major Wrestling Cast YouTube channel. I
21:06
am your host, Matt Cardona aka WWE Superstar Zach Ryder aka the Thousand Dollars
21:12
Brosky aka the Michael Jordan of Wrestling figure collecting, and today, right here
21:18
on our YouTube channel, we are going to discuss one of my favorite figures
21:22
of all time, the has Bro Ultimate Warrior Figure number two. All right,
21:27
if you were a kid in the nineties, your room looks nothing like
21:30
that anymore. Right, Well, it's a lot busier now. I mean
21:34
that's that's what six years ago. Almost six years ago. Now you can't
21:41
even walk in the room me with the Scott hallwalk. You can't do it.
21:44
That's scary. How you I'll forget After that video, I said,
21:49
Broski, gotta you can get lights for ten bucks because I think that I
21:53
like Brosky's toy room is very dark. Yeah, and I had the new
21:57
room gonna be nuts. Yeah, Okay. One of the things that I
22:04
was looking at. One of the early videos that we did was Stomp in
22:08
Paradise. Now, we told a story on the podcast about Stomp Brian's my
22:15
childhood, childhood stop for those Jacks figures. I didn't even really call it
22:19
a Fike fed because it wasn't a fig fed. It was like it was
22:22
a fake fed, but it wasn't. It was a storyline driven special tactical
22:27
operational military police in Paradise in Paradise. So Brian told this story, and
22:33
I think it was like the first magical thing that happened with the podcast,
22:37
Like so many people tweeted about it, so many people talked about it.
22:41
I think it was like one of the first like aha moments where whenever we
22:47
are all very raw and honest and un like blitheringly nerdy about something, yes,
22:52
and then people are sympathized with it and it you know, they get
23:00
it kind of made us not famous w W wrestlers, but like people just
23:04
like people listening to the show. Relatable, Yeah, very relatable. But
23:10
that wasn't by design. I was just being honest and telling this funny story.
23:12
But it was an aha moment, like, Okay, this is a
23:15
good thing to like let people in. So you guys had somebody do a
23:19
logo and then you wanted to sell the shirts. Extra cooler shout out extra
23:25
cooler who made that original logo? Yeah, and then you wanted to sell
23:30
some shirts or whatever we were pushing. So you guys, you were in
23:33
Florida and you decided to shoot like what was crashed at Broskis for a TV
23:40
which wasn't like I don't even think it was in Orlando, Like it was
23:42
like we'd like drive far. I feel like it must have been somewhere drivable
23:47
in Orlando or in Florida. But yeah, we wanted to film like the
23:49
opening of this imaginary show and start making merchandise since before we had toys,
23:56
so we will basically just sell some T shirts. Drove to the beach.
24:00
People are looking at us like we were insane. Obviously we had to take
24:06
turns filming each other because it was just like hold on, hold on here,
24:10
what yeah, action, you're gonna are we gonna show the finished productor
24:26
just chops? Oh man, oh man. It was that's so good.
24:33
Hold on this one's great of you two I think it's this is this was
24:37
not the finished product. This is not it, but this is great too.
24:45
Are we gonna show the finish the all times before TV? Like we're
24:51
our real job, like to go to work to be ww superstars are working,
24:55
like crawling around in dirt filling each other. You guys are at the
24:57
beach dressed like there was somebody behind Brosky in one of these shots, just
25:00
like walking his daughter shooting a water gun in like fatigues. Whoops, hold
25:08
on, uh the last little clip ski here this this one's of you two.
25:15
Uh? Hold on, what's sack? Are we gonna play the Finnish
25:22
product is finished products? Yes? Great, we will show the finished project
25:29
right. Uh here I edited this. By the way, guys, it's
25:38
great. This still holds up. This is the first time Bruster fell in
25:41
love with me. I think, yeah, they're right with We realized that
25:45
he did a good job with it. I really, I really pushed our
25:48
humble brag about this. I wasn't sure like what the deal was with it
25:52
or I went, what about maybe we got to bring this back the song
26:03
rules. We bought this song, right, we owned the song? Yeah?
26:08
Yeah, look at that an I some worse. I haven't put myself
26:55
out of course, that's smaller. I don't know why it was that we
27:07
pay for those big budget effects. Yeah, a lot of money. Maybe
27:11
we were plugging zombie sailor pins like the stop it that's all we had it
27:18
done, or the dog tags just before we had any like real figures.
27:22
So we're just doing like weird, weird miscellaneous merch. Yeah, he's right,
27:30
all right, Well, I have some more clips, will show later
27:33
on in the show. But that's like, that's our early days. Those
27:36
our first couple of uploads. That was our first episode ever I had.
27:38
I didn't come on the show until like episode one or something maybe now maybe
27:44
maybe one hundred, I don't know. But Mark, do we have our
27:47
first guest? Is he ready to rolls? Here? Is he late?
27:49
Our first guest is not here? All right? Well we have some follow
27:53
up we could talk about, right, we have follow We have our second
27:56
guest is here, by the way. Our second guest is waiting. He's
28:00
chilling. He's gonna be waiting. He's gonna be waiting for a while.
28:03
That's all right, he's just listening some fall up here. Eric Bischoff box
28:11
variant. So I'm not quite sure you've not seen it. So there's the
28:18
one with the white shirt and then with the n W shirt. I think
28:21
it should have been the nWo shirt the whole time, because it does come
28:25
with both, right, but I think it's way better with the n W.
28:29
I think the NW one sells the figure better. Right. If you're
28:32
like on the fence and you don't know that ball this is in the ring,
28:36
you know, the ring side exclusive slash Metel Creations ring, so it's
28:40
like you're not seeing this until you open the box anyway, so it's weird
28:44
to even go out of the way to change it then too. I don't
28:45
know, right, so I don't I don't know if it's a running change
28:48
throughout the whole production run, or if Ringside got one and the Metel Creations
28:52
got another. You're You're easy complete this man, You're You're screwed, and
28:56
I guess a little shout to Case Fresh podcast, another wrestling favorite podcast,
29:00
new to the scene, who broke that news, So shout out to them.
29:04
We got some uh some Powered Town updates. We got the men on
29:11
car or in box if you will pictures. I'll let you lead this because
29:15
you you know you're doing all this. I heard a rumbor that our figures
29:18
are delayed because you said, hey, let's put these impact ones to the
29:22
top of the top of the line. Ours are way ahead of these ones.
29:26
But here we go, my man moose mint in box. Look at
29:30
that the TNA Championship multiple hands, the alternate head. You see the Soft
29:36
Goods robe. I like that screaming head. We purposely got rid of the
29:41
flap. That's on the way better out of the flap, which I kind
29:44
of think they might have to do across the board. And you know,
29:47
tell us in the comments what you think. But I think maybe the flap
29:51
was a little too much because this presentation is so much nicer, and obviously
29:55
everyone in the TNA lineup is alive, and you can get this sign and
29:57
it's gonna look amazing, you know, I mean, like a red paint
30:00
pen and that bad boy no question the city right there. You know,
30:03
the flap was a great idea. The information on the on the inside is
30:07
a cool idea. It's a nice little nugget. Well between the two.
30:11
I would obviously way rather have these open packaging. You get them signed,
30:17
you can see the figures, you don't have to pull the pack the flat
30:21
back and there we have Josh as the end of the walking weapon. Same
30:23
thing. Alternate head. I believe that's the head gear, yeah, next
30:27
to them. I about so the head gear is removable on both heads.
30:33
Apparently. I was under the assumption that one head would have it and one
30:37
wouldn't, but I guess they went this route. Alternate hands. I know
30:40
that rash guard. The under armour style shirt is soft Goods for sure.
30:44
And that's gotta be Velcrow in the back right because there's no way you'll be
30:47
able to get that off. But pop the hands on and off. It
30:52
looks awes. I got it on and off pretty easily. I would guess
30:53
it wouldn't be too much work. The Juggernaut Jordan Grace alternate head, the
30:59
TNA Knockouts Women's Championship, alternate hands. She's like literally meant to be an
31:04
action figure, you know what I mean? So pretty cool there. And
31:08
last, but at least, my tag team partner Eddie Edwards alternate head,
31:15
multiple hands plus Kenny Kenny the Kendo stick back there. Wow, pretty cool.
31:21
Very when your guys come out, then you can get the whole system.
31:25
There. You go all three systems. There you go, except lish
31:27
and then uh, these are still available Powertown Wrestling dot com. For pre
31:33
order, the pre order is the order. Order the order. Guys,
31:36
you miss out, you miss out. They will not be available post pre
31:40
order. Pre order is the order. That's that's our hardest thing right now.
31:44
I think educating the consumers, educating the TNA office, educating talent.
31:51
You know, they all don't. I find myself constantly explaining this. I
31:53
know, you know, I'm amongst fellow figure fans here that you guys get
31:57
it, but uh, it needs to be explained to a lot of people
32:00
there because they don't understand that it's a pre order because they're not in stock.
32:05
But the pre order is also the order because they're not going to order
32:09
tons of extras to sell after the fact. Well, let's talk about something
32:13
that is in stock. Ooh yeah, Macho Man figure collection, the pink
32:19
and black and the variant one of two hundred and I like what Figure Collection
32:24
did with this With this Macho Man variant, the only way you could order
32:29
it is if you pre ordered the original Macho Man. Kind of like,
32:31
hey, thanks for ordering, I thought that was cool. Touch Limited two
32:36
hundred is freaking low. I put my order in because I did have the
32:39
Macho pre order same here, and I'm probably not gonna let that bet Oh,
32:45
I don't think so. I think keep bitment on card. Also there
32:49
was other you know, so everything's kind of in now, the James Mitchell
32:52
or the Ringside collection. Have you seen the James Mitchell like like that box
32:55
is such a throwback. Yeah, that's cool, it's very fainted. Three
33:00
of them. I got my shipping notification for like all this stuff. So
33:04
next week will be a bone crushing episode for sure. How many James Mitchell's
33:08
did you order all of them? To me? Like, yeah, I
33:12
just got the red one. The red one is I didn't even know he
33:15
wore other jackets, like especially the purple, Like I can't even like close
33:19
my eyes and picture them in that. I know. I'm sure these are
33:21
all accurate in some degree, but like Senator Minister to me, only wore
33:25
rhtt you know, right. And then also we saw pictures of double j
33:31
Jeff Jarrett. This is what I'm talking about, baby, And we saw
33:35
the long hair you saw sperat Circle Expo, the sample Protetel, it's the
33:40
the Aztec nw A version with the wwn W A version and then you know
33:45
the real don't piss me off double j because we got Owen Hart's head and
33:51
they never corrected it. Yeah, kind of a legendary f up corrected.
33:55
You know. I wouldn't even call it an f I think it's just a
33:58
lazy up. Like what they do with it wasn't It was not the word
34:01
lazy, you know what it was. It was a carny move. But
34:06
Carney tried to get a little fast one, I think by the little kiddies
34:08
out there. That wasn't the only time they did that. They did that
34:12
with uh they turned the Patriots head into blue blazer, which kind of worked
34:15
but not really. Oh with the you can see the imprint of the right
34:21
Eagles brutal. And then they turned eight ball into skull or vice versa.
34:24
But that works as their twins, Yeah, I'll get that past their twin
34:28
brothers. The twins. I mean, I bought to eight balls to make
34:30
him. So it's fine, right, they gain the updated tattoo, so
34:34
it was good. But for your collection, doing a great job. I
34:37
will not be a completist on this. I'll get one of each guy I'll
34:38
get both of the Jeffs and I got both the MACHOs. But I don't
34:40
need I don't need three sony Ono's. I don't need three Jason Mitchell's.
34:45
But I understand what they're doing. I don't know how they're gonna get anything
34:49
out of Gilberg. Right, you can't repaint to Gilberg, I don't think
34:52
so. I want that Gilberg so bad. It looks so good at the
34:54
shipping notise for that too. Somebody said in the group that his face was
34:59
two cartoons, and I but you look at his actual face cartoon, especially
35:04
when he's going at Mark backstage Jimmy's. But I almost put that clip in.
35:08
I should have. Oh man, Yeah, were speaking of you know,
35:12
Gilbert. We had Gilbert at Jimmy's famously. Was it live six?
35:15
Yeah? It was. It was a swaggle guys guest at one of our
35:22
live shows. Is our guest ready, Mark, you gotta give me a
35:24
qu and he's rest here? Yeah? I was waiting to say it.
35:27
He is here, he has the eagle, has landed the eagle. Let's
35:30
speaking of live shows and guests. This guy was a guest at our first
35:34
ever live show in New York City ladies and gentlemen, tough enough one winner
35:40
YouTube's own David David, you were like jerking off, Yeah yeah, paper
35:47
toweled your hand the sweat office Brown. I literally just got out of the
35:54
shower, but I was, I was. I was cranking one out.
35:59
Oh my, you know it. Anytime I see you, Matt, it's
36:01
just natural reaction. Yeah. Well, maybe we're live in from the seven
36:07
hundred eleven people right now. That's well, then good. I want you
36:09
know what I want? Seven hundred and eleven people know that I crank one
36:14
out everything face. I'm perfectly fine with that. I got a clip here
36:20
I'd like to show you. Let's just turn into one of your videos,
36:22
The truth be Superstars masturbation before we but yeah, that's next. That's just
36:29
I want to know. I was listening to you guys. What is a
36:31
completionist? I'm assuming that means you get everything in a set. Is that
36:36
I got a perfect example for you? Maybe ready? Okay? Anthony Green
36:40
is so he's got all eight of them. He had every thing that you
36:46
had ever done up until that point. You know much? And the Major
36:51
Pod, the Major POD's made double amount of Maven merchant in the past couple
36:54
of years. Oh bout four. And then if you remember, we go
36:58
into that match and I think I forgot, like spot number two, you're
37:02
making fun of you. I got. I got Brian outside on the apron
37:07
saying, how the hell do you are you forgetting spots Man? You are
37:13
a legend, all right? So we mentioned you were the first one of
37:16
our first guests on our first live show, and I have a clip from
37:20
that I want to show it. And then this is this is I think
37:23
when Brosky and Maven fell in love. It was before that, but this
37:28
is when we cemented it that eliminated the Undertaker from the Royal Rumble with the
37:36
drop kick the winner. I'm toughing up season one. Oh my god,
37:45
it's way to rock. You know this is gonna happen. There he is,
37:52
He's here my fantasy. I'm so everyone's gonna go on eBay today and
38:10
buy your action figure for sure. You know what if it would be great
38:14
if it was back in the day when I saw a dime of that.
38:17
Well, speaking of which, so what do you got there is? Uh?
38:22
From Maven to Matt, from Man to Mike. Yeah, Well,
38:27
and you guys in the backstory. When when I found out this guy was
38:31
a fan of mine from back in the day, I was shocked and honored.
38:37
So hey, it's the least I could do. I don't have a
38:40
clue what's in there. All my friends and favorites I have signed figures of
38:46
not here has none, So I think he should start his collection right here
38:51
tonight. Yeah. Oh, you guys think that's a good idea. M
38:57
O C. Actually, and I'm a true pro. I don't even hate
39:00
pen I don't even have it. Yeah, I think Matt has sold this
39:05
on what No, that's the one here. Yeah, let's do it.
39:08
Yeah to Matt, thanks for man such a fucking mark for me. Let's
39:14
do it. I also have as a backup your first eight by ten.
39:20
Oh my god, no steroids there official issue. What are you thinking about
39:30
right here? Yeah? What are you? What's going through your mind?
39:32
Right here? I'm thinking that there's a little middle schooler named Matt grade mad
39:44
too mad. You're such a fucking mind. Number kicks nowhere near as good
39:47
as mine was. Oh fuck no, my number one one. If you
39:52
look at the old footage of like Zach Ryder when he's a kid at the
39:54
Hogan signings and stuff like that. His face right now looks exactly the same.
40:00
Just just add pimples. Yeah, there you go, Matt. Like
40:05
I said about this, this is the this is the first time I've saw
40:08
it signed an autograph in hours. You go, oh oh, I kiss
40:21
him maye man may then may then whoops? Where was that? Wow?
40:32
That little did I know that action figure will be rattling my brain for concussion
40:37
number seventeen short years later, I used that in our F w F match.
40:44
I used it, Yes, yeah, will one, Yeah, I
40:49
was the real one that I dug it into his eye. You know,
40:52
he said, I'm over you by now. He's like, I've had enough
40:55
of you. We're so proud of all this success that you've had now with
41:00
your big YouTube, your big YouTube star. You know. No, tonight's
41:05
Tonight's not about me. Tonight's about you guys. Now. It's about what
41:08
you guys have accomplished. And I'm I'm I'm honored like that. I was
41:15
that I was number one, that I will show number one, And to
41:19
think of what you guys have been able to build over the years. I'm
41:22
happy to be on this train with you and I look forward to just seeing
41:27
what more you guys come up with, because there wouldn't be a Maven YouTube
41:32
without what you created and without what you created and you created, So I
41:38
thank you guys for paving the way for me. Actually, serious question about
41:43
that now, when we when you came to that show, you were doing
41:46
well, Brian actually pulled you into wrestling. He made you do two matches
41:52
in a weekend. Yes, and then you know, shortly after that,
41:55
you maybe six months later you did our podcast, but you were just literally
41:59
out of the business, done, done and fine, and was fine with
42:04
it, and then we kept we kept pulling you back in. Yes.
42:07
Is that part of the do you think that you're dipping your toes in with
42:12
us is sort of into the YouTube stuff? Yeah, one hundred percent.
42:15
Like, if I don't dip my toes in with you guys and go to
42:20
Boston and do those those matches with Brian and then come back and do you
42:23
know, your live shows and then come back and do your FWF shows,
42:28
then I don't start doing isp W. And I know just by simply getting
42:34
out there and being you know, just where the super marks of the business
42:39
that can see me and be like oh, Maven did an indie show.
42:43
That's how my my YouTube partner found me. It's not like it's not like
42:49
he was a little Matt Cardona for his entire life and was liked. I
42:54
really wish I could work with Maven because I wasn't hard to find, right.
43:00
You know. I always say, like a wrestler without confidence is nothing,
43:04
And I think I instilled the confidence in you that you know, there
43:07
was people out there that really cared about the career you had, you know,
43:09
And I don't think you felt that way. Yeah, No, I
43:13
felt like it was I, you know, and I felt like my I
43:15
had a run. It was way past time. There's there's a lot that
43:21
standing outside of a bar taking IDs after you've been on live TV. That'll
43:27
fuck with your mind. Man, that'll with your mind a lot. And
43:30
like I've said, man, there was a like I at that point,
43:34
like I hated who I was and the fact that you guys wanted anything to
43:39
do with me like it. I didn't know why. I was like,
43:43
thank God, there's got to be better people. We wanted to hear the
43:46
song? Man. It did. It did put a new confidence in me,
43:52
and it was just a trickle down effect and yeah again, I like,
43:58
it's all I was fine with being out of the business. And I
44:02
think you guys also gave me a love, you know, for for what
44:07
wrestling, you know, not only gave me, but what wrestling meant to
44:10
me again. And I think when we started this podcast we found that love
44:15
too, because you know, when when you're just on the road and you
44:19
know the good, the bad, the highs and the lows, sometimes it
44:21
just becomes the jobs. When we started this podcast talking about the things we
44:24
grew up collecting and playing with, it like made us fall in love with
44:29
wrestling again. And I think maybe it was contagious, you know, and
44:31
it kind of spreads other people. You know. Contagious is the perfect word,
44:37
because anybody that asks me about like, yeah, hey, you know,
44:42
I'm I'm want to talk to Cardona to you know, to bring him
44:45
in, I'll immediately tell him book him because his fans travel. And that
44:51
that's how contate the contagious aspect of what you guys do, because you guys
44:57
are way more than wrestling. You guys are way more than entertainment. You
45:01
guys are have literally created something that didn't exist, you know, fifteen years
45:07
ago, and you know it's it's and I'm dead serious. It has opened
45:13
the door for you know, people like me to do what I'm doing.
45:16
That's because if we talked out loud about action figures in the locker room,
45:19
Bob, Hollywood have kicked our ass so out of them, we literally wouldn't
45:22
have existed anymore. No, yeah, and you're one hundred percent right.
45:27
Or if you would have asked people to hey, can you sign your action
45:30
figure? Uh uh yeah, oh no way, god, yeah, no,
45:35
it would. It's so funny too, because I just I recently did
45:38
an interview with Business Insider, and the guy who ran the interview he asked
45:44
me, he was like, hey, do you have any backstage pictures of
45:46
you at wrestling shows? Like? No, like my phone. I'm like,
45:52
hey, iPhones did not exist back then, and you weren't the person
45:58
that was going around with one of those wind up hammer. Imagine that,
46:00
Hey undertaking, Hey Kane, can you take a picture. Yeah? No,
46:07
it's it's it's the business is all has changed one hundred percent and you
46:14
guys, you guys, but it's a better it's a better business. I
46:19
recently talked to Mason Mansour and like it's just a better locker room. It's
46:23
a it's a healthier locker room. I think it and just how one leads
46:30
to the other. With me, I think moving forward, I think wrestlers
46:34
of this generation are just gonna live longer. They're gonna live, They're gonna
46:37
be healthier. Yeah, well, it's it's they weren't, you know,
46:42
And like I tell them my stories and they look at me like I'm just
46:46
like I'm the craziest, like I'm an eighties rock star. Well and then
46:54
I think of the guys that came before me, and they were nuts to
46:59
me right now. Yeah, so yeah, but it's it's for the better
47:04
what you guys have done, and I'm just happy to be a part of
47:07
it. Like I'm honored every time you guys call me. Well, you
47:12
mentioned the Boston trips. Yeah, we might need you for for Live twenty

the dream team, Bro, I will drive you. Just pay for my
48:23
you just pay for my valet service at the Red roof in David. We
48:30
love you. Thank you so much, dude. I love you guys,
48:32
and I guess I guess I'll see you guys August the eighteenth. Seriously,
48:39
hey, seriously, congratulations on everything, everything you guys have accomplished every thanks
48:45
buddy than we love you. Man. Couldn't happen to three better guys.
48:52
You you do. You do grow on trees. Take care of guys,
48:55
bro. Some great views go up by the thousands of well, actually we
49:07
somebody we might get d mc eight. He was watching a T and T
49:09
basketball game in the background. I was like one fifth screen. I thought
49:14
that too. But so well, we'll mention Live twenty right now just for
49:17
a second. August eighteenth, Cawloons, Boston, Massachusetts. It's going to
49:22
be our twentieth live show. Surprise guests is going to be nuts the big
49:28
after party at the Tiki Bar. The GA tickets are gone, so there's
49:31
there's very limited v very via a very limited VIP tickets left. So you
49:37
got some times just making me think our fans are getting sick of meeting us.
49:39
They just want to party. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.
49:45
We're gonna try to get maybe and we're you know, we're gonna try to
49:46
pressu him off air to come. But it's gonna be fun either way.
49:50
We do have some more follow up here. Did you see the little commercial
49:54
that A. E. W made is made for the the Blackpool Combat Club.
50:00
Can we play that? We got that? If it's a video?
50:02
No, I do not have it. Oh well we don't have it.
50:06
I guess we have the pictures though, So oh I saw this, Yeah,
50:08
there was a whole commercial though. Oh really, I just saw the
50:10
pictures on Instagram, so they look cool the way the way that they did
50:15
the video, I thought it was like a four pack, but it was
50:17
just kind of hype it up. That line has them all in it.
50:20
I guess only in this might be a de freedom thing or maybe even Mark
50:24
an answer to me, that's like, isn't it like debut Daniel Bryan or
50:30
whatever? So the rest are our Blackpool Combat Club style, but that's like
50:36
not, oh yeah, because that's like him coming out with the white T
50:38
shirt and right in the brown pants. My first thought, I could be
50:42
wrong. I'm not a you know, maybe there's a chase of it.
50:45
He I mean, we already have them in gear, I guess twice.
50:47
Yeah, well, I'm not even sure what he wears to the rings.
50:52
I'm sure he's probably cut up promo with the BCC wearing. He wore the
50:54
white shirt a lot, I know, Yeah, yeah, yeah, for
50:57
sure. We got some some update. It's on Monday Night Wars. They've
51:01
added another set, which is going to be a straight up like re release
51:05
set. However, in the Howard Finger voice, that is how you're gonna
51:08
be able to get the Vincent build a figure, So like Triple h this
51:14
Attitude era figure that was on Amazon. Him and three others are going to
51:17
be re released kind of like top Pick style, you know, I love
51:23
because they make a better version and you're gonna have to get anyway to get
51:27
the the that's a different character you know you need, right, So I
51:31
don't know who the other three characters are going to be, but you know
51:36
they've they've already been out, so you can speculate, you can guess all
51:38
you want, but they're likely going to be better versions of the release figures,
51:43
but you're gonna have buy them anyway to build that vincent. So I
51:46
think that's going to be the end of the line though, which is unfortunate
51:50
because I think, yeah, I think there's one more set you know that
51:53
has it's not meant to last, you know what I mean? Like,
51:57
right, they only have so many names. It's only oh man, I
52:00
wanted it to last four. If you're calling it Monday Night War, you
52:04
can only you know, you're kind of pigeonholed into a certain amount of years,
52:07
right right, right, So at the World, they there was you
52:09
know, the picture of everyone displayed. There was a big boss, manly,
52:13
a corporate big boss, man, he is inserted into the line before
52:16
this, like top Pick Style, so it's gonna be a re release of
52:20
him kind of before this Top Picks wave because this is before they added the
52:23
top Pick Style wave and that's not what it's called top Picks. I'm just
52:25
saying, you know what I mean. Right, we released Style, so
52:29
I don't know who else could possibly be in it, but you never know,
52:32
but we gotta buy him to get we gotta get Vincent. So right
52:36
have they said who the it's disciple is the build a figure on that's got
52:40
to get next? That's the next set, correct, right? Got it?
52:45
Uh? All right? We we talked last week about our Super seven's
52:51
and we were talking about our production numbers. So Brian got his. We
52:54
have that graphic we put on the screen. Scary actually, so this is
53:00
pretty nut. So Brian Series one, five thousand, one hundred and two
53:04
figures, Brian Series two, seven hundred and ninety two figures, Matt Cardona
53:09
two hundred and ninety six figure, Series one, Series two eight hundred and
53:13
eighty eight. My guys, these that's limited and these are it? This
53:19
but this is I thought there was at least a thousand of each of the
53:22
Wave two. So you got your I got mine. We talked about him
53:27
a lot last week, but I got mine. Yeah, and they're great,
53:30
it's incredible. It's just unfortunately the price jump scared a lot of people
53:35
off, you know. And what sucks for me is like I think that
53:38
mine is almost like a two in one for me for my psycho brain.
53:43
Explain why because you display it like hold the Internet title with no stuff on,
53:49
you know, give the middle figure then you do in like the Toyota
53:52
gear. It's like when I display it, I got a display two bro
53:55
Ski that logic goes for most day figures with altered heads and hands, and
54:01
it's giving you up display options. That's two figures. But it's me though
54:07
you yourself, you could just say it's you can be honest about it.
54:12
If he want myself, that's fine. But like we said last week,
54:15
we didn't order that many from Super seven, so I don't even think I'll
54:20
be able to be selling these on what I did a couple today, but
54:23
I don't know a couple of weeks of them for sure. But then I'm
54:25
gonna a little scared. But also these are like so I love giving my
54:30
Super seven to like what Mackenzie's friend who likes wrestling or something. You know,
54:34
he's great. I can't be doing that with these. No way,
54:37
no way, right, yeah, like no way, no way. Yeah.
54:39
Like, Dad, you're lucky if I send you one. I saw
54:45
Bob this week, went to Bob's personal gym and he had his Hostel toy
54:50
figure hung up proudly gym. It's nice, that is true. Yeah,
54:54
Brian came. He just wanted me to sign a fucking figure. That's it.
54:59
Actually we figure some one is in my personal collection. Okay, one's
55:01
going on whatnot. You can check that out. Yeah, that's fine.
55:05
That's you'll eventually sign one of mine too, So it's okay, all right.
55:08
We talked about Live eighteen. But guys, our major Bendi's are for
55:14
sale this month. Dan Housen machi Itto, Steve Macklin again like the Super
55:20
sevens, like the the TNA figures, the pre order is the order and
55:23
the orders closed May thirty. First. That's Dan Housen machi Itto, Steve
55:29
Macklin. What a toy adic set. And okay, you know big fan
55:31
Bse she is far and away in the lead in this test and pretty cool.
55:37
Our major Bendies. You know, even just thinking about when we started
55:40
this podcast, we said, oh, we're not even gonna do merchandise,
55:44
and then we figured out for wrestling tease that we did enamel pits. Now
55:46
we have our own goddamn toy company with two toy lines plus the other toy
55:52
companies that make us. So you know, it's very cool to make these
55:54
people make their dreams come true and uh mumu house and there it is,
55:59
so make sure you get these pre orders in it. And I you know,
56:01
in this podcast, we're gonna we're gonna miss thanking so many people.
56:06
But tt D invaluable, connect invaluable, Like we can have a whole podcast
56:09
about with what they've done for us in our brand. But the addition of
56:14
Brian Batty to these Bendy's line has really given these these legend has really given
56:19
these figures new life. And and no Brian Batty Benny's figure has been in
56:22
hand yet, so I'm excited for the fans to get one in hand,
56:25
like, oh, this is way better. You know, if you if
56:29
you're not growing your dyet, that's how That's what I always saying. The
56:31
major Bendies have been evolving and they're just getting better and better. So so
56:36
pre order them now. And remember the pre order is the order. Somebody
56:39
asked, is they're international shipping? Of course they gotta pay for it though,
56:45
I mean some zombie said no for his first line. Remember Zombie that
56:51
there was a huge backlash. He made a video about it. I thought
56:54
it was like just Australia was everything. Well, we might we might Australia,
56:59
William, we might have to pull a plug in Australia, dude,
57:02
or just make up the shipping insane. Bryce's it is though, it's nuts.
57:07
We didn't mention this earlier. We said we weren't going to have a
57:09
Twitter. Remember that, Yeah, I mean we could just clear it up
57:12
like a lot of our podcast advice I think, like how we do it
57:20
and audio and things like that that Matt and Night were unaware of came from
57:22
like Mark and col Cobana and stuff. But then the other stuff, the
57:25
business side of it, came from like, you know, private conversations with
57:29
Comrade Thompson that we said. He was like, WHOA, no, you
57:30
guys need social media? Do you need this? And we were like really,
57:35
and that that was like how a lot of that got going for mat
57:37
nite. Yeah. I think it was so smart that you guys that day
57:42
SummerSlam night or whatever I think you said, and instead of like being like
57:45
what we need social media, we need everything set, then we'll record an
57:49
episode. He just went in Brian's room, You turn on the microphones,
57:52
you shot the ship for thirty minutes and we had content. And if he
57:54
didn't do that, who knows, right, I don't know if I would
57:59
give myself that advice now, you know, I think I'd be a little
58:01
more prepared so to make a bigger splash. But it all worked out.
58:05
That's how we operate, you know, we we we just that's how we
58:07
lived their whole career. Is we fucking we set our goal? We fucking
58:10
just do it somehow some way, you know, live and learn and you
58:15
know, Leaven, the world and technology have changed so much since you know,
58:19
that night in August twenty eighteen. It's crazy. I mean, if
58:22
you would have asked me like, I would have never wanted to do it
58:25
at home, like, but now I would never go backwards to how we
58:30
did it, you know, I do like when we record in person and
58:32
now and again, oh when when the three of us have a book and
58:36
we do all together, that's fun. That's different. But you know I
58:38
was I was traveling with the equipment right then I would send it and then
58:43
Mark, you would get it and you would edit it, edit it at
58:45
work. By the way, you were the producer, but not you weren't
58:49
on air, you know, So a couple of times we got together and
58:52
we did it right. Yeah, I came on a few times just as
58:53
like a guest, right, but we weren't doing video, right, We
58:58
weren't doing video at all. And then when the pandemic happened, I'm like,
59:00
oh shit, we need to build these little studios in our our houses.
59:05
And then Mark was just sitting on the calls anyway, so why not
59:07
just be on you do the background anyway. Yeah, you know, Eddie
59:12
and Lynch slept in here on Friday night, showed him and so this is
59:15
my office, is where I do my other job. There you go,
59:16
that's pretty cool, but it's wild, like, you know, this has
59:21
turned into a real business, and then it's turned into another. Like Major
59:24
Rest of our podcast and Major Bendies are two separate companies. We have two
59:28
separate companies on my wildest insane, so pretty crazy. But we'll be we'll
59:35
be reminiscent all show long. But let's go to the news. And the
59:39
news is brought to you by Paps Blue Ribbon. Hey, Brosy, I

1:01:39

1:01:42
Yeah, he's back. He'sa' the cranking coalition we got going. Well,
1:01:50
let's let's let's talk about PBR for a second. Major PBR, great sponsor
1:01:53
of our podcast. So many great memories with PBR. It's actually where I
1:01:57
first started to actually tolerate use, which started to like shoes. It was
1:02:01
from that PBR commercial. Shoot, no, you didn't like me at that
1:02:06
point stuff. At that point I invited him, yeah, but didn't he
1:02:10
did not definitely, Ryan like said he's coming. Yeah. I think that's
1:02:15
when I started to appreciate him. Well, I just remember walking into your
1:02:21
house that day and Chelsea answered the door and I was just that's how I
1:02:24
dressed, So that's just how I showed up. And she she goes,
1:02:30
what the fuck are you? And at that point I only met her once,
1:02:34
so I was like, oh, I'm shoes and she's like, I
1:02:37
know, I know your shoes, Like why are you like this? And
1:02:39
I'm like, because I'm shoes. By the way, that vlog is maybe
1:02:46
my second favorite thing on our YouTube channel. The The vlog from that day
1:02:51
is absolutely epic. It is shot great. We had great camera stuff where
1:02:57
everybody was shooting hammered Brian everybody. It was a shoot it. It was
1:03:04

1:03:46

1:03:50
a purchase in the stream, especially night, I do appreciate that. Yeah.
1:03:52
Yeah, so shoes, you already talked some news. Shoes, Shoes
1:03:58
news. That's what I'm here for. Shoes. New Guys, it's kind
1:04:00
of a slow news week. That's a right, because this podcast is gonna
1:04:02
be long anyway, right, But we got some Young Bucks micro brawlers two
1:04:10
weeks only, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson. What I like about the brawlers They
1:04:14
can make things a little more timely, like we still super timely? Right,
1:04:16
we have heel Young Bucks. Aw's yet, like jaz No, like?
1:04:24
Are those Walmart exclusive heel Young Bucks? Wait? Wait when I know
1:04:28
the one we don't have? They're not in our hands yet, they've been
1:04:31
not you know those Walmart ones are out? So those those are heel ones
1:04:34
because they worked Alex and Johnny at that pay per view. Okay, well
1:04:40
they looked great. Yeah, I saw just one of them in the store.
1:04:43
They they're out, all right? Well, I don't have and Nicholas
1:04:46
Jackson the Young Bucks two weeks only May eighth to May twenty second, get
1:04:49
them at pro Wrestling. T you speaking of aw aw u two's? Did
1:04:57
not see this coming? Right? And I mean you could Hell that's MJF,
1:05:00
Tony Orange and Jericho. Is that who it is? I couldn't.
1:05:05
I couldn't tell that. I don't know about that last one. The first
1:05:09
three are pretty clear, and I do not know about the last one.
1:05:12
Now, these are almost like a poppy looking type thing. I wouldn't quite.
1:05:16
They're in the same style box a Funko pop, but I wouldn't compare
1:05:19
them to a Funko pop. And we know that WWE has an exclusive deal
1:05:23
with Funko where they can make aw's anyway, so they're similar in style,
1:05:28
like box wise, where you would get to sign on a box. But
1:05:30
yeah, but it's like a big head and a small body. It's pretty
1:05:33
similar. Yeah, I guess the Unfortunately, I thought it was like a
1:05:36
Lionheart Christ Jericho, but it could be wrong, be maybe, well,
1:05:42
we'll find out soon. I listen. I love that Aw's branching new style
1:05:45
for sure. Danny oh wow. I don't know who confirmed it. Maybe
1:05:50
Danny confirmed it. Well. I like that AW is branching out. They
1:05:54
have the Diamond select and I have the U two's, so I think it's
1:05:58
great for the brand. Also, Public Enemy did not see this coming.
1:06:04
This picture rocked my world, Bombie Sailor, rock O' Rock, Johnny Grunge.
1:06:10
I'll listen. I'll admit I never wanted like Public Enemy figures, you
1:06:15
know, like in this in this day and age in twenty twenty four,
1:06:16
I was like, Oh, I wish i'd ever make him. But now
1:06:18
that he's made them, holy shit, do I want them? No?
1:06:21
That's like so I kind of it's weird. It's diehard of least every guys.
1:06:26
I am like the way you said that, I think it's true.
1:06:30
Right, you're just like, oh my god. And I heard that these
1:06:32
are more w CW than e CW. Yeah, Zombie said that he was
1:06:38
a he saw a WCW taping when he was a kid and they were on
1:06:41
it, so he modeled it after that. All right, I mean,
1:06:45
honestly, I'm I knew these guys from WW more than ECW, to be
1:06:47
honest, right, but legendary tag team. Neither guy has ever had a
1:06:51
figure ever ever cool ever cool overall right, I can't wait to get those
1:06:57
in at twenty thirty four. Also new figures from FTC the Midnight Express solo
1:07:08
dishes you got Bobby doesn't look that bad, Lane, These figures fucking suck
1:07:15
and Dennis Condrey. Can we just end this line already? But they said
1:07:19
they're gonna keep going and make them like articulated like New Style, Right,
1:07:26
I don't look that bad, to be totally honest, Mark, you're blind
1:07:31
blind. I mean it's like more cartoony. It's like a I mean to
1:07:38
me, like the only saving grace of an FTC is getting an autographed you
1:07:41
know, because a lot of those guys don't have other things to even get
1:07:44
autographed. I don't know, I have a key Whipbreck signed, but I
1:07:48
have. I liked the original concept of this, like the legends, and
1:07:53
then they had your line, Brian, what was it the futures, which
1:07:57
I guess now like I guess that's dead. Yeah. I like the concept
1:08:00
of the execution is just swoomed so bad, you know what, I can't
1:08:05
unsee. Once D pointed out that they have Ruth's aggression bodies with the Luxe
1:08:10
Aggression arms and the arms are way too long. Yeah. Once he pointed
1:08:14
out, like not that they were great anyway, but that really messed me
1:08:16
up about him. So what what's so crazy about this podcast? Six years
1:08:20
ago, three hundred episodes ago, there weren't these other toy companies making toys.
1:08:26
I mean, FTC was, but you know, like a zombie sailor
1:08:29
a major Bendy's. There's so many now, including Hastel Toy. We knew,
1:08:34
what's a major episode without a hostel up? Well, guys. He
1:08:39
really requested to be on the episode today. I had to politely decline him.
1:08:42
Good. He was going to show us a big reveal. I said,
1:08:46
no, it's okay, but we do have to show that he we
1:08:50
were gonna have we were gonna be able to break figure news and you just
1:08:55
said, nah, what was he going to show? Right? Like,
1:08:59
come on? So but he did show this Sean Mooney, which I love.
1:09:04
I've been I've been begging Brian and Connect to sign up for big rubber
1:09:09
guys. I would love a big rubber guy Sean Mooney, me too,
1:09:12
but he's just not a high priority. I understand that he's not like the
1:09:16
guy you want to go to, but man like, that's like the guy
1:09:20
like as an LJN kid who I wish I had backstage to with, And
1:09:25
that's why I want it. But for us, you can't. You know,
1:09:28
it sounds like you make a different head and pop on a generic suit
1:09:30
body like Mitch and and Zombie are doing right, So Mitch will get some
1:09:33
reuse out of this body. But I think it looks great speaking of something
1:09:38
that doesn't look great. As a follow up the Kurt Fuller, we were
1:09:41
talking about his elite style. Kurt Fuller for some reason has no articulation from
1:09:45
the waist down. So for some reason, apparently he cannot get an direction
1:09:49
and he cannot bend his knees no articulation from the waist down shoes. How
1:09:54
do you feel about that? I'm gonna say that does he needs some paper
1:09:56
tonels because we got plenty in this cross cutting U caution, but so I
1:10:00
do have one making it. I've been I've been on Zombie like please,
1:10:04
I love this. I'm sorry, zib, I'm sorry. I called you
1:10:09
boy. No, Zombie doesn't listen to our show. We know that.
1:10:12
Yeah, that's also true. Uh man, I watched wrestling. Yeah,
1:10:16
I said, Mitch, can you please just put the knees on this fucking
1:10:19
thing? And he said, different goals with that one regium is that what's
1:10:24
called regium regime, regime figures. That's what we're called regime from what from
1:10:30
look sad top regime on the top. Oh what he's calling he's called up
1:10:34
all right, So different goals of that one regime figures are going to be
1:10:38
my own creation. So what was his regular line? Was that not his
1:10:44
own creation? But he's saying like he's not following you know oh a twenty
1:10:49
twenty four six in should have you know knees that bend? Oh, Mitch
1:10:54
says, reg regime, regime this this guy the drawing board with that one.
1:11:00
One means like we looked it up. It means like King Leary.
1:11:03
I love the figure, but it's awesome. That's Curt didn't figure royalty have
1:11:10
articulation. I just don't get why there's the knees. Don't fuck it.
1:11:13
I don't get it. I don't get it. But it's his creation and
1:11:16
he's right, it is his creation. So it certainly is like I said,
1:11:27
I don't know if I'll be getting Yeah, we should we call it.
1:11:36
I bet if I said Mitch, the link right now will come right
1:11:39
in. No, no, no, you'll get Okay, we got guests
1:11:43
waiting where we're There is nothing Brian wants less in the world than Mitch on
1:11:47
this show. While you're at it, Bro, next week we can have
1:11:50
Mitch on it a shirt off under the bus. We love shirt off here
1:11:54
he's gonna plug his twenty seven variants. Oh man, So yeah, the
1:11:57
Sean Mooney, I love this, Kurt Fuller, the Regium one, I
1:12:00
don't quite love. But he did show me. I guess he wasn't supposed
1:12:03
to or wasn't I'm not supposed talk about, but I'm gonna say anyway,
1:12:06
he showed me the Ghostbuster Kurt Fuller, and that is like, god,
1:12:12
no, because that's in scale with like the twenty ten Mettel Ghostbuster figures full
1:12:15
articulation in the knees, like this thing was the same thing. No,
1:12:19
no, no, there's three Kurt Fullers. Why did we need multiple Kurt
1:12:24
Fuller's he's a character actor. He pretty much wears the same thing and everything
1:12:27
everything, you know, I actually, I actually I understand. Actually one
1:12:30
to go with your retros, one to go with your like no holds bards,
1:12:33
and one to go with your Ghostbusters because the Ghostbusters World bad guy he
1:12:39
might be next. I don't know. This is basically it. That's yeah,
1:12:41
I think that's why I might need it for that. So Kurt Fuller
1:12:45
Regim series, you know, that's let's always say about that. You know,
1:12:49
when it comes to Regim, at first it was constrictive, but after
1:12:55
a while it becomes a part of you. Guys are are good friend at

1:16:10
go to the ringside top ten, we pull up the Live eighteen graphic again.
1:16:14
D Is it possible? I was literally going to do that because we
1:16:18
skipped over this. In my pocket there it's a minifigure. Is that what
1:16:24
you're going to talk about? That's what I was going to talk about.
1:16:25
Little Captain Joe's shoes repaint in stuck at Live twenty shoes. I know what
1:16:34
you've been doing. I see you switching that hat, switching that shirt.
1:16:39
One year in the making, guys. I had a good talk with TTD
1:16:43
when we were in Orlando in January. I said TTD, how do we
1:16:45
get this done? And he told me what he was thinking. I said,
1:16:48
you're the man who designs it, so you're the man. I'll listen
1:16:51
to what I know, Broski probably hates it. I know Broski's probably one
1:16:56
hundred percent against it. Shoes against for the second year in a row.
1:17:00
It was my idea, Dude, you must hate the fact that in twenty
1:17:04
twenty four you're gonna have two Captain Joe shoes figures in your collection. There's
1:17:09
plenty of guys in the lineup that I hate having bad. But to be
1:17:16
fair, we thought, you know, we might bankrupt the company on that
1:17:19
shoes figure last year. We wanted a surprise to do something nice because we
1:17:24
all love you so much. To be honest, it sold out hot seller.
1:17:28
It sells an eBay for pretty good chunk of change. I think it
1:17:30
sold for the biggest one I saw. It was like one hundred and fifty
1:17:33
bucks legit to make sure the year award winner. So I think this one
1:17:39
is a no brainer, right, to be honest, I never expected the
1:17:42
first one, just because, like I have a joke about obviously my friends
1:17:45
have a toy company. You know, you think about it, but knowing
1:17:47
the financials, I'm like, it doesn't there's no possible way this ever even
1:17:53
makes sense. Well, if financially did not make sense, USh as it
1:17:56
did not. But well that suppose you didn't make enough. You didn't have
1:18:01
enough in stock. Right, But we're you know, you're a big part
1:18:04
of the team, big part of the family, so we're excited this will
1:18:08
be in stock. So come meet Joe Shoes. Hopefully we sell them all
1:18:12
out that night, you know live. Well, maybe it's not confirmed yet,
1:18:16
he said it. He pretty much confirmed it. He said it.
1:18:18
Hey, you guys know, Mayvin just bus he says, it doesn't mean
1:18:21
anything. We'll hold them to that. We'll say watch, We'll watch YouTube
1:18:26
video backpad. One of the good things about our live shows is the less
1:18:30
stress that you have because if somebody does cancel, it's a pain. But
1:18:33
at least you didn't promise it, right. Also true, So Shoes,
1:18:39
this is uh, you know, you've been a part of the family for
1:18:42
a while. What memories do you have of being involved in the major part?
1:18:45
Good ones? Not that Yeah, it's a they're pretty much all good.
1:18:48
I don't really have any bad moments. I mean, I heard you
1:18:50
guys talking earlier about the stomp and Paradise thing, and to me, that's
1:18:54
a big moment for the pod because, like you guys said in a lot
1:18:58
of way. It humanized you where you're not just these guys on TV.
1:19:00
And I remember telling Brian Brian sent me the video before it went public,
1:19:04
and I remember I was visiting my fiance at work at the time and I
1:19:09
was like, yo, if you ever got if you guys ever need goons,
1:19:12
I don't live far from Broskie. I think I was still in Tampa
1:19:14
at the time. But I wanted to be like a puddy. I love
1:19:15
it. I've always wanted to be a henchman, so like I just wanted
1:19:19
to come in and get beat up. I was like, you ever need
1:19:21
one of those? Let me know. And then all of a sudden,
1:19:26
I show up Live six was the first Jimmy show. Yes, so Live
1:19:31
six. I just showed up because we were indoors for god knows how long
1:19:35
and this is an event going on. Were you just picking up a he
1:19:39
Man thing? No? Well I made I made a trip out of it
1:19:43
excuse to go pick up a he Man set. I used the show as
1:19:45
an excuse to go visit this toy store from the guy I buy all my
1:19:48
he Man stuff from. But I made like a whole road trip out of
1:19:50
it. And you guys needed. Someone was like, oh, Shoes,
1:19:54
this here, he'll do this. Then yokosh I got I got beat up
1:19:59
by dell O around that day, Oh my god, and took a flat
1:20:02
back on the floor. Well, if you're gonna take one bump of gear
1:20:06
one, how about What I remember about that is Shoes is there. He's
1:20:11
one of my good friends Swaggle. They've never met. We had both in
1:20:14
my room pregame and hanging out. They've never met. Now they're like better
1:20:17
friends than I have with either one of them. They hang out and going
1:20:19
vacations and ship together. Well, we just did ACW Wisconsin together. We
1:20:24
have a very good, successful podcast of our own. Now, you guys,
1:20:27
are you and Brian are have to be a tag team champion Brian,
1:20:30
which I swore would never happen even when you guys like would be like I'm
1:20:35
boozing. Oh maybe Shoes A wrestled one day. I had no interest.
1:20:39
It was like a good mortgage, no interest. And then then eleven people
1:20:45
got hurt, eleven people got COVID, eleven people got divorced, and it
1:20:48
was like, Shoes, we really have no one else you want to do
1:20:50
this, And I'm like I guess I have the best gear I ever had
1:20:56
in my career. Now got new boots. You know, just war it.
1:21:00
The other day it's I want to stop short of saying being down with
1:21:04
you guys has changed my life, but just because that sounds overly dramatic,
1:21:09
but being a part of this has been an absolutely wonderful experience. For the
1:21:14
Major Marks. Last year, you guys supported me through a lot of stuff
1:21:18
that was not very easy on me, and that level of support is very,
1:21:23
very, very much appreciated to this day. Obviously, Mother's Day was
1:21:27
Sunday, not an easy day for me as my first one without But every
1:21:30
time I do something, every time I'm involved in something, Major Marks are
1:21:33
always there to support. And even in acw, Wisconsin, a Major Mark
1:21:39
showed up dressed as me. Again, I guess it's a very easy costume
1:21:43
to pull off. You just got to be overweight and grow mustache and you're
1:21:45
a Captain Joe shoes. But really, all the appreciation of you guys,
1:21:50
thanks for letting me play in your sandbox, and for the Marks who bought
1:21:55
the figure, who wanted the figure. You guys were pushing for a figure.
1:21:58
I thought you were nuts because I just didn't think it was possible.
1:22:00
When you get into this business, and you guys will say the same thing.
1:22:03
You have a checklist of the things you want to accomplish, right,
1:22:05
it's have a figure, be in a video game, you know, get
1:22:10
extra work, then get on TV. I gave up on that, Like
1:22:13
I got to a certain point. How inspirational, no no, no,
1:22:16
But like you get to a certain point and it's like, all right,
1:22:19
like you personally have taken this as far as you can go with it.
1:22:24
It's time to do something else. And for some people it's very hard to
1:22:27
move on and figure out what the next step is. And I got to
1:22:30
the point where I was okay with it, and I said, you know
1:22:31
what, sixteen year old me will still think so many of the things I
1:22:35
got to do were so awesome, So I like I was still fulfilled with
1:22:40
that. Like, yeah, I didn't get to work a WrestleMania, I
1:22:43
didn't get to be signed like you guys, but like I still got to
1:22:46
wrestle a lot of the guys. I loved the first ever wrestling show I
1:22:49
went to as a kid. I've wrestled like nine guys from that show,
1:22:54
So that's like super cool to me and like I now being older. When
1:22:58
you're younger in the business, you're constantly worried about what's next, what's next,
1:23:00
What's next? Brosky, Like every day, what's next, What's next
1:23:02
next? By the way, late, when you get a little older,
1:23:11
you you're able to kind of you know, with age comes wisdom, but
1:23:13
you're able to kind of appreciate things in the moment a little bit more.
1:23:15
You allow your your mind to slow down a little bit. So now whenever
1:23:18
I get to do these things, I do get to appreciate these things.
1:23:23
And when I get to be a part of the live shows, it's always
1:23:26
a great experience and getting to be around the fans and you know, hanging
1:23:29
out with my friends like that show. Brian said, The live six in
1:23:31
Baltimore is the first day I met Dylan, the first day I met Kinnick.
1:23:33
The three of us are in a group chat together. It's like two
1:23:36
of my best friends in the world, the Disney together. This we just
1:23:39
we just all went to Disney together, Cannick almost I think. So we're
1:23:44
trying to track down this girl now because the lady that works for goofy uh.
1:23:49
We went to this character dining thing. We go, we go,
1:23:51
Where do you go? Where to go? Hollywood and Vine. We're at
1:23:56
Hollywood Studios. It was fine. We got I call it Hollywood and Slime.
1:24:01
Look at the palettes you're sending to a buffet. Dylan, who thinks
1:24:05
a miracle whip is good. She's who would eat dirt Landon, who's a
1:24:12
child even though he's seven foot eleven. And Kinnick, who doesn't care what's
1:24:16
there. He's just happy to be around. But Kinnick is having the greatest
1:24:19
day of his life because he got to meet his hero, Chewbacca. So
1:24:21
every time a character would come by the table, I'd be like, Hey,
1:24:25
this is my friend, Mike, Mickey Mouse. You should He's having
1:24:28
the best day of his life and it's thanks to the place you establishment.
1:24:30
You run over here. So the lady that works for Goofy comes over and
1:24:34
she goes, can I ask you a question? Why do you keep telling
1:24:39
people that he's having She doesn't ask him why he's having a good day.
1:24:43
She has me, and I explained to her about Kinnick and Star Wars,
1:24:45
and then we start talking. She's originally from New York. I'm originally from
1:24:49
New York. She likes hockey and baseball. I like hockey and baseball.
1:24:53
She's considering maybe living in a different part Tampa, and he's a of Florida.
1:25:00
She doesn't know she wants that. I said, ah, you don't
1:25:01
want to go back, because trust me, no, after you've been here
1:25:04
for a while, no one wants to go back north and push a shovel.
1:25:08
But then a table next to us was complaining that Goofy never stopped at
1:25:12
their table. So she got pulled away, and she got whisked right out
1:25:15
of my life forever. So now I've been on the hunt. We had
1:25:18
a little meat cute there for a second. I've been on the hunting.
1:25:23
I went on. I went on, I can't go back to the same
1:25:28
restaurant because you need a reservation and be very weird if I go by myself.
1:25:30
But I went on LinkedIn, and I went on LinkedIn and I said,
1:25:35
you know, it said like company name, and I was like,
1:25:38
I don't know Goofy, Like who works for Goofy? So I looked up
1:25:42
Goofy and uh, nothing came up. So you know we're on the hunt.
1:25:46
You know it's one of them. I always she might be watching live
1:25:51
there. I always say the most valuable resource in life is time. Time
1:25:57
is the one thing you can't get back. But nothing in life is more
1:26:00
important than love. And if there's one thing about me, it's that I
1:26:03
love love and I try to fall in love. I love love too,
1:26:06
Yeah, I love love. I love love. So thank you guys,
1:26:12
Thank you, Major Mark Pleasure love you. We love is shoes. Guys.

1:27:55
rules? Is that what you said? I heard? RASI top ten is
1:27:59
the banger of the show, the classic song exhausting mail Man. That's a
1:28:02
great line. You at the office, sofa Brosky. I needed the good
1:28:08
backdrop, you know work. I don't know if you know this show.
1:28:11
I left a vacation early cross country, just like zombie. John listens to
1:28:17
the podcast. That's right, got a partner from day one, day one,
1:28:25
literally up the show, no proof of concept. He was in.
1:28:30
Actually, you guys recorded the podcast, texted John, he said he's in
1:28:39
you Then I think later on in that week, you guys both recorded voice
1:28:44
memos of the Ringside ad that I put in, and in that first episode
1:28:47
there's it only cuts to one ad and it's the Ringside A. Look at
1:28:50
that. We did it, and we basically used the same verbide that you
1:28:55
guys use the same in that commercial major else can you say, yeah,
1:29:00
true? We did re record it though, because it wasn't. I think
1:29:02
over the years we said enough, like you know, be a grown up
1:29:05
by from Ringside, don't pedal to the store over and over and get your
1:29:09
hopes, your dreams crushed, you know, like when you're growing up,
1:29:14
it's a little bizarre to be I know that's the chase, but you gotta
1:29:19
get you're waiting to go to Walmart to find an elite set, like,
1:29:23
oh my god, oh my god. They could never no way. I
1:29:30
don't want to wait. That's that's why I started Ringside. I didn't want
1:29:31
to wait. You know, a pros pro And we gotta have you on
1:29:35
for another We interviewed you years ago. We have Yeah, it's been so
1:29:39
many years. Yeah, we gotta do it. We gotta do a follow
1:29:43
up one for sure. Yeah'd be awesome. So what's uh? What's on
1:29:45
this Ringside topic? Reading side by the top ten that we originally used to
1:29:50

the from the vault in the in the next segment, we got them all
1:31:35
beautiful, beautiful. I love the packaging. I love the throwback. Look,
1:31:42

packaging. Like, why can't we have something about it? Yeah, the
1:31:48
show the figure, show the whole figure. Yeah, it's showing the figure.
1:31:51

1:31:56
my god. It's a tribute to the original, which I love, you
1:32:00
know, and it's a very nice, you know, shout out to the
1:32:03
original line. It did an amazing job. I was blown away when I
1:32:06
saw it. So you you foresee this is gonna go on for the foreseeable
1:32:12
future, these these lines. Yeah, I guess as long as we have
1:32:15
enough picks that fans want, you know, let's let's keep it going.
1:32:19
I got a couple in mind, John, say it right now, say
1:32:28
I do want Hawk is a rid Edgeheads, but solo figs that would be
1:32:31
amazing. That's amazing, I think would be very double right, be easy,
1:32:36
I would think, Yeah, no one, I was gonna say this
1:32:39
a weekly purchases, but I don't want to discredit the Instagram crown to put
1:32:43
it up. But they went side by sides like these aren't exact, like
1:32:45
by any means, Like there's improvements, way better, way different. Yeah,
1:32:49
they did, like the space printing on it. They added some articulation,
1:32:54
so each one has its own unique little upgrades, right, And I
1:32:58
think I think people like well general that it's just the hands and some of
1:33:01
the face sprinting. Yeah, like the d X jerseys were way better.
1:33:05

1:37:03
know if anyone saw while I was sitting in this waiting room, then how
1:37:06
big I popped It was still on the list. I thought it was sold
1:37:12
out, so they just keep putting it back up and then more people buy
1:37:14
it. It did sell out, and then yeah, you sold out.
1:37:17
I was like, oh, that's cool. I guess they said in shipments,
1:37:20
so the first person or the first people that got it will get the
1:37:25
June shipment, and then the next people will get July and then if that
1:37:29
one sells it, yeah, it's on back order. I guess right right,
1:37:32
But John John was real quick on getting it back up. I was
1:37:35
very grateful about that. Awesome. Well, uh, Ethan, you know
1:37:40
this is the weekly purchases, not the news, but we have a little
1:37:43
news that we want to break. Do you want to break it? Or
1:37:45
should we break it? I think you should break ear here? No,
1:37:47
no, please please, I have my video it's going to drop Wednesday.
1:37:51
I'll be able to talk about it, so please, I'm gonna leave it
1:37:55
to you guys. Well off one shirt at the price of on the house
1:38:00
of that since I'm a Hall of Famer and former world champion. But anyway,
1:38:05
oh yeah, guys, coming soon to the big rubber. Guys,
1:38:13
it's all ego. Eat the page. So awesome signature pose you still got
1:38:21
that right hand. If you want to throw a little uppercut ski maybe hit
1:38:27
a cutter with the left hand. Yeah, if you could do an elbow
1:38:30
drop with the left hand. Elbow drop, oh for sure, tell us
1:38:32
about it. I know there's a significance behind this gear in this moment.
1:38:36
Oh my god, there's so there's so much to be honestly, like,
1:38:40
how much you guys were willing to work with me on like the details and
1:38:45
yeah, I didn't really have this much hands on with the Jazzuar's figures or
1:38:50
even my micro brawler. They didn't ask me a single thing really. Yeah,
1:38:55
So like you guys were all about the gear. You let me tell
1:38:58
my little sob story text as to why I wanted it. But I wore
1:39:02
this gear when I wrestled for the world title. I'll be wearing this gear
1:39:05
on independence going forward. But I wrestled for the world in the game,
1:39:10
by the way, yeah, oh thank you, Yes, Rubberist, it's
1:39:13
the game. So I wore this gear when I wrestled for the world title.
1:39:17
But I did it in my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, with my
1:39:21
family watching. It's my hometown colors. The Tiger Cats wear those same colors,
1:39:26
so it's it's me showing love to where I kind of started, where
1:39:30
I grew up and where I started my wrestling career. And then obviously that
1:39:33
really big match, but the venue that it was in was my dream venue,
1:39:38
wrestling in Cops Coliseum, where the first ever Royal Rubble was where Hacksaw
1:39:44
Jim Duggans LJN is actually the gear from that match that he won the Royal
1:39:48
Rumble in that same venue that I wrestled for the world title. So there's
1:39:53
so many like throwbacks and little hidden secrets, and then getting the jacket on
1:39:58
was also a big thing about it too. Obviously you guys were all about
1:40:02
it because it makes it more toyotic. But for me, getting that crown
1:40:06
screaming ego logo on this figure is insane. It's something that I drew up
1:40:12
when I was a teenager. I've been carrying that logo around with me my
1:40:15
whole wrestling career. Any company I've worked for, it's been on either the
1:40:18
merchandise, my gear, my enter jacket. Obviously I know that, but
1:40:21
I've never asked you really the significance of it. That's interesting. Yeah,
1:40:26
So it's something I started when I when I called myself all ego. It
1:40:30
was the first thing I did. I was like, Okay, well I
1:40:30
need to put something to this that people can see forever. And that was
1:40:35
the logo and I've kept it in every company and every iteration of Ethan page
1:40:40
since I put it out. So getting it to be part of this and
1:40:44
l jn's being the first wrestling figures that I ever got to be, Like,
1:40:48
my kid is the same age as me when I got my l JNS
1:40:51
and he's going to get his first LJN and it's his freaking dad. So
1:40:56
it's yeah, it's insane. We're honored, We're pumped. We can also
1:41:01
say, you know, it's a rare air to be a modern day pro
1:41:05
wrestler and a big rubber guy. It's insane. It's insane. There's another
1:41:11
one coming first, very exciting things. Well, thank you, it's coming
1:41:18
very soon. So June will be the pre order. So there's gonna be
1:41:21
two modern people, two old school guys. So let's fucking go. The
1:41:27
pre order is the order. Let's make this too much? Are you announcing
1:41:30
this right now to the guy, But we're not that. The announcement is
1:41:32
that it's EGO and someone else. We're gonna okay's this there's four people,
1:41:38
four Oh, hold on, I'm gonna make I'm gonna make you guys sweat.
1:41:42
I know who it is, and I can't wait to promote these toys
1:41:47
with this guy. I am so pumped, like so pumped. That's awesome,
1:41:54
very excited. We're very excited to have you on and it's it's such
1:41:58
it's just great timing the way we do things, we were able to just
1:42:00
just design it and squeeze into the lineup and hopefully it's the number one selling
1:42:06
one we've ever done, you know, so TTD worked right. T knocked
1:42:12
it out of the park. But I hope it's the number one selling one
1:42:15
too, because Cardona actually let me know he didn't want me to be in
1:42:18
the line, and so I no, no, I want all of his
1:42:24
fans to know that he was not supportive of Ethan Page being a big rubber
1:42:28
guy. So make sure this thing sells out. We can throw in his
1:42:32
freaking fat I want to be proven wrong. I want to I said,
1:42:39
hey, why don't we just try a bendy first. Let's do the bendy
1:42:42
first, the big rubber guy, you go. I smelled a lot of
1:42:45
jealousy in these text conversations we were having with mister Cardona, especially You're gonna
1:42:51
get Brian Baty designed listen, listen, happy rubber guys. But they were
1:42:59
like, they're like prototypes of what this is. You know, we've come
1:43:01
so far. This is incredible. It is incredible, and I'm honored and
1:43:06
I had I had to put you on the spot for that because I'm going
1:43:10
to prove you wrong. But which I want to listen, I understand to
1:43:15
have a baby and to be protective of it, because to me, I
1:43:18
think this is the coolest wrestling toy line that's going right now, and there's
1:43:21
only so many people that have a spot like you. Guys are releasing four
1:43:25
at a time. So like, I am incredibly honored, incredibly We're gonna
1:43:31
listen. We know no one's gonna promote it like you. And I wanted
1:43:34
to be the person who told you face a face out of Bride's birls.
1:43:38
Get didn't want you like a little bit, So I wanted to Hey.
1:43:42
I wanted to hey, just let you know, Hey, I respected it.
1:43:45
I respected it. Shoes on were Brusky completely buried and his Bendy sold
1:43:49
out. It was the best thing of the year. So you buried shoes.
1:43:53
He poured his heart out. He said he loved life getting a bendy,
1:43:57
about getting a bend idea, that one was my idea. Anyway,
1:44:01
all right, let's let's talk about some weekly purchases. That's why we're here
1:44:05
deep rolling with the ringside from the vault stuff. Guys. I've like completely,
1:44:11
you know, at first, I was like, whenever Mittel was doing
1:44:14
these across the board, I was like, it was watering down that to
1:44:18
me, it was warding down, like you know the history of these,
1:44:21
But it's been so goddamn long. And it's not like people are sitting on
1:44:25
piles and he's waiting to flip them and sell them, you know what I
1:44:28
mean, Like no one does. Some people are, but it's not really
1:44:30
so I just don't think that should matter. And I think, like it's
1:44:33
cool. Actually, this this, this toy line has been so long and
1:44:36
so successful that they could redo stuff like it's ridiculous to me, you know
1:44:42
what I mean. I'm just happy that I can talk about these toys on
1:44:45
my videos now because by the way, uh just quick plug. Here ethan
1:44:51
big vlog coming up. He's back in the toy Hunt gang, and uh,
1:44:56
you gotta blog Wednesday, right, Yeah, Wednesday one o'clock. It
1:45:00
drops Dan Housen's back. We talk about his major bendy that's coming out.
1:45:03
Uh he's wearing the Homer Simpson mumu and that's free order. That one ends
1:45:08
at the end of May, right before the June first one starts. So
1:45:12
grabbed the Dan Houson onet too. But uh we we went for a toy
1:45:15
hunt in Detroit and it was no I asked it if his wife beat him.
1:45:20
I'm like, bro, what is going on? Yeah, you got
1:45:25
some copy a Great day cupping and a toy to a great day. It
1:45:29
was, it was awesome. And on that video I also dive into the
1:45:32
big Rubber guy and and what it means to me and I talk about that.
1:45:36
So I'm excited to share that with my fans on my channels. I'm
1:45:40
I'm pumped about this and I'm going to start hunting l j N's so I
1:45:45
can build. I can build. Why why unless you're gonna let him breathe?
1:45:54
Which is crazy? But Lucy's in good condition, is tough. This
1:45:57
is this is the only one. I have a hard one that's like a
1:46:00
six hundred figure right there. Maybe more. Yeah, I started off with
1:46:04
this one smart, I guess, Yeah, pretty good? Nice was I
1:46:12
Did you get that at the toy on I was at or I? Yeah,
1:46:15
I bought that with you. Yeah, back to these these websites from
1:46:18
the vault that that you know, what I love is like eight fucking figures.
1:46:25
Like it's been a while. It has been like a long long time.
1:46:28
It has been like eight figures. It's usually six and now some some
1:46:30
you know, we just did three for major Yeah. Uh, funny little
1:46:36
thing I got from a uh cap student and uh, listening to the show
1:46:41
Liam Davis Kane with the merch glove. You guys see that, yeah,
1:46:47
because he never ever ever wrestled with the birch glove on. Really that's weird
1:46:55
then. But I was this is the new one, the Vault one.
1:46:59
I'm going to replace it with the original, which is also a Rings exclusive.
1:47:02
It's funny, but I could see it in my case. It's posed
1:47:06
just like this, it has the merch club. So we were talking about
1:47:11
it. He goes, I bet they just got a reference shot of that
1:47:14
time period where maybe he's wearing it in like a first photo photo. It
1:47:18
was like, how else does that happen? So I honestly think that's why
1:47:24
Jazzwar's made the Coffin Match attire for the rare is because I only had a
1:47:30
couple sets of reference shots and I wanted to get a picture forcause that was
1:47:33
a big match for me, so I went and did a photo shoot.
1:47:35
So they used those photos and that's how it ended up being the Coffin Match
1:47:40
one. I don't think it was because they were like, oh, that's
1:47:42
a big match and we want to do that. It was like, well,
1:47:45
we used the first reference shots what's the next one was? And that
1:47:47
was it? Yeah, Well, you know Studio Bill. We've referenced him
1:47:50
many many times in the show over the years. He doesn't like to really
1:47:55
watch actual match footage for the He refuses, I'll do it. This.
1:48:00
This scene is my number one in here. This this scene is called the
1:48:04
draft, he said. The dog tags, the chain, gang chain,
1:48:08
the US title, the W title. Both spit like this is a this
1:48:12
is a top quality, such a big moment too in wrestling. The oversized
1:48:16
jersey is great on it too. The soft goods, that's the one.
1:48:20
I would like to see the comparisons to how improved it is from the god
1:48:25
what that figure came out twelve years ago, more long time ago. These
1:48:30
Dudley's. This is returned Dudley's, right, you can't. Yeah, this
1:48:34
is two thousand, fifteen return Dudley's. But also those figures go for like
1:48:40
one hundred plus, you know, the actual ones forever reason, So now
1:48:45
you can affordably get you know, Dudley boy elites. You would assume that
1:48:48
we're going to get TLC Dudley's, maybe an e C W Dudley set.
1:48:54
Yeah, at the World they showed the like WW debut under legends agreement.
1:49:00
We're gonna get tons of stuff, but to do it as fast as possible,
1:49:03
they re releases, which is genius smart. Okay, yeah, I
1:49:06
got it, very smart. I also got d X Hunter Sean where he
1:49:13
touched on like the soft goods are improved. There's a lot of cool stuff.
1:49:15
So I'm not quite sure where I stand on these, like I don't
1:49:19
need. I'm not sure these I don't need for sure by my collecting roles,
1:49:24
and I really can't decide. I wasn't at Survivors series ninety six.
1:49:28
Oh I was, so I need that one. Oh it's not sentimental to
1:49:31
me this one, but it's definitely an unbelievable figure. If you didn't know,
1:49:35
this thing just clips off his back. Likes that's pretty sick. Yeah,
1:49:39
it also has hinges, it can close down. Look at it in
1:49:43
the box. I thought it was like a I thought he was wearing a
1:49:45
scarf, And I'm like, is this podcast undertaking having the rafters like a
1:49:48
bat? I get it moment. Also from Rinkside, I got this the
1:49:55
Basic series made event million dollar Man, Like this is uh, this money
1:50:00
ain't million dollar man. This is you know ninety two ninety three million dollar
1:50:03
man. So it's a basic that I count it. So I need it,
1:50:06
Okay, I need it. I still want a million dollar corporation and
1:50:11
a NWL million dollar man. Are you gonna let that breathe? I'm very
1:50:15
curious as to the scale. I'm gonna let it breathe, but I'm not
1:50:18
gonna I don't have another figure that really compare it. To remember, the
1:50:21
Target Legends one was so uh so short. Yeah yeah, I was likely
1:50:27
wondering that myself too. I mean, here, here, what is next
1:50:29
to a Super seven? They're kind of the same height. It looks better,
1:50:32
actually looked. The legs look longer. I think that was the problem
1:50:35
with those other ones, that the legs were short. Figure was just so
1:50:39
team whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. They can do the side legs.
1:50:43
Oh you know what, basics are real figures now? Yeah? No,
1:50:47
basics, Yeah you do cool. They're great, they're great. The
1:50:50
head and hands pop off there. Yeah, they're real figures now they can
1:50:55
Yeah, you gotta get them, bro, that's sick. Yeah, the
1:51:00
whole New World. The difference really is they just come with nothing, so
1:51:03
like the elite has like you know, they never came with anything. Yeah,
1:51:08
I know, that's that's great. They're they're playable. Actually, yeah,
1:51:13
who wants you to sit out a power bomb where the guy lands on
1:51:15
the guy's knees. I can actually enjoy a basic figure. That's awesome.
1:51:21
It's very cool, way way better, Ethan. Did you get anything this
1:51:26
week? Yeah? So I'm just going to give a spoiler to one of
1:51:30
the items I purchased for the vlog and do online orders that like a pre
1:51:34
order? Does that count? Yeah? Sure? Yeah, Okay, So
1:51:39
I ended up picking up this retro card and Robin I was I'm always collecting
1:51:44
the animated series stuff, but I kind of avoided the Crime Squad stuff,
1:51:48
And now I still want to buy more Batman. So I'm grabbing all the
1:51:53
Crime Squad one. Yeah I love Yeah, me too. And I have
1:51:58
that expensive though. I remember that was always what kept my collection from like
1:52:00
growing fast. Oh now, oh you mean back then they were expensive and
1:52:05
they were like I want to say, they were like eight ninety nine a
1:52:09
KB, when like everything else was like you know what I mean. Okay,
1:52:13
I didn't have that many when I was a kid, I had,
1:52:15
I think Batman Robin Scarecrow in two Face. Those were my my four but
1:52:20
yeah, so I'm trying to grab them all now. And I have this
1:52:23
like big ass spinning rack in my room so I can like put maybe like
1:52:27
thirty figs on one side with like the pegs and there's four sides to it,
1:52:31
so I got lots of room, so I'm good for that. And
1:52:33
then this one I pre ordered forever Ago, but it's a Goro figure.
1:52:40
Oh yeah, you guys, tae that. Yeah, So Storm Collectibles and
1:52:46
great, dude, they are incredible, probably my favorite toy line right now.
1:52:50
Storm Collectibles they just take so long to come out, and they're very
1:52:55
expensive, so I avoid a couple of them. But if you don't pre
1:52:59
order them, you're kind of screwed. Then you're paying like secondary prices and
1:53:02
they go up by like fifty to one hundred bucks a figure. You guys.
1:53:04
That's why we say the pre order is the oral. You got it,
1:53:09
good order is the order. We had the Creative Pro ten year anniversary
1:53:16
show this weekend and one of our exclusive vendors was Zombie Sailor Toys and he
1:53:20
had for I need it, Jack Toney, and I was able to take
1:53:26
Jack Tony to open for my shelf. So good man, pretty random fellow
1:53:30
Canadian here for ego. Oh yeah, that's awesome, pretty cool. I
1:53:33
mean, as a kid, you know that's would have came in handy to
1:53:36
push myself. Absolutely, yes, yeah, so awesome figure. I believe
1:53:43
he's part of what Zombie is. Is he calling it series three? I
1:53:45
think I think I think it's series three? Yeah, coming soon, so
1:53:49
he'll be able to get it. But there was a couple there exclusively for
1:53:53
sale. CREATI pressure. I did appreciate that are gorgeous. I think my
1:53:59
favorite thing to collect modern day, no question, mean too. And actually
1:54:02
I forgot I did get something from Zombie this week. I got finally for
1:54:05
the first time, I got six of the chase mes. You ever had
1:54:10
one? I had one that I bought like I bought myself one. Ah
1:54:15
what your contract? Pal? Of those? No, apparently not a rookie
1:54:20
move though, six of the chase I mean the contract was we talked eisodes.
1:54:28
Yeah, the contract was written before the Chase was even a thing.
1:54:31
You know what I'm saying. I would call Dowkins. Yeah, that's a
1:54:35
different version for the like however many he gave you the first one. He
1:54:43
should owe you that of the chase. Well, then he owes me nine
1:54:45
more. Then I only got six, but I was happy with it.
1:54:48
But I literally took the box and even opened it, put it in my
1:54:51
back room because I'm not gonna sell a little six like I need. You
1:54:55
can't. You can't. Same as we just said about our second Super seven,
1:54:59
Like there's a point where they're just too rare to kind of be getting
1:55:01
rid of. Yeah you are, you can you explain that to me?
1:55:05
I saw you guys post about that, So there was it was like five
1:55:09
thousand of the first there's so kind of like that girl. The pre order
1:55:14
was the order right you got you got Wave one. It was like a
1:55:18
smashing success, you know, and it was you know, they were what
1:55:23
fifty five bucks each or whatever. The day maybe not even twenty four hours
1:55:29
before everything was set for a Wave two, they called us and said they
1:55:31
have to be seventy five bucks, so we can't do them, or they
1:55:34
said dumb them down to like fantasy gear, and we said, yeah,
1:55:38
I said, there's no fucking way I can dumb it down. We have
1:55:41
a podcast about we got motherfucker deep freedom on here. Who critiques figures here
1:55:45
to critique our own figures. That's gonna be a bad look. I mean
1:55:48
that's obviously like after months and weeks of like picking this out, designing it,
1:55:54
you know, getting everything in order, like, wait, you're gonna
1:55:55
drop this on us today? Like hell' no. So it was seventy five
1:55:59
each and scared a lot of people off for the pre order big time.
1:56:01
Whoa the day before? Yeah, and then I mean if you think about
1:56:05
it too, I mean, this is it's over. They're sold, So
1:56:09
I can say this out loud. There's less stuff, there's less heads,
1:56:12
there's no minifigures, there's no microphones, there's like you know, there's no
1:56:15
dog tay like. So it really doesn't make sense. And the wrestling figure
1:56:18
fan is not used to a seventy five dollars item. They're just not you
1:56:24
know, right. But people are going to support both of you. So
1:56:29
if they're buying both figures, it just added another fifty dollars to their order.
1:56:34
Yeah. Crazy. But the real reason is Brosky has what's that?
1:56:40
What's what's the painting tampo? P's a lot of pain out of paint on
1:56:44
Broski's gear, is what ate up a lot of the costs. But but
1:56:47
what if I would have been told, oh, this is too crazy,
1:56:50
pick something something else, I would have done that. But it was the
1:56:53
day before, like it was already like that doesn't exist otherwise. I mean
1:56:57
there's no thing like, oh we'll do my my purple dinosauric jackets. There's
1:57:00
no thing, you know, I mean like there's no switch. So it
1:57:04
is what it is now. But now that all said, they're unbelievable,
1:57:09
fantastic yees sirck Yeah, Brian and I only bought fifty each, so I
1:57:15
was like, that's gonna go quick, you know, like no, yeah,
1:57:17
no, kidding, yeah about one. I don't think. By the
1:57:19
way, fifty each is a huge chunk of that number though, right,
1:57:26
But anyway, we'll keep going. Uh courtesy if Karen Russell fest here on
1:57:30
Long Island, they drove to uh, I believe, Louisiana to do a
1:57:35
private signing a one Man Gang. So I was able to get a one
1:57:39
Man Gang signed zombie heels and faces figure. And while we're at at courtesy
1:57:44
of our friends at high Spots, they had Wendy Richter. Wow, you
1:57:47
got a Wendy Richter autographed retro with the high Spot cert there, so awesome,
1:57:54
pretty cool. This is the first I was realizing when I put this
1:57:57
in my Ringside Collectibles Defender here. Uh, the first retro I think I
1:58:00
got signed. That is with the plastic carding, which I'm not crazy about,
1:58:05
but it is what it is, right, Gotta move on, you
1:58:10
gotta roll with the punches. So are you putting the Heels and Faces?
1:58:14
Because I know you have your big collection where you're trying to get all those
1:58:16
figures signed. I actually was doing that math today or recently, Like they're
1:58:23
wallpapered here, and I've been buying every has Bro even if they're not signed,
1:58:27
just to have the collection complete, because there's something that I'm just like,
1:58:30
what I've never even seen a giant Gonzalees signed, you know what I
1:58:31
mean? So what am I like holding out for? Right right right?
1:58:34
I see him and I'm down to like, I only need like five mini
1:58:38
card Hazards have the whole set, and that's not going to fill the whole
1:58:42
wall. So I am contemplating doing like a best of Heels and Faces or
1:58:46
like one of them Mark Sterlings. See that's the problem. The ones that
1:58:53
fit in the error like Adino Bravo and those Earl Hebner. I think maybe
1:58:58
those are the ones that make the cut, maybe display because I will have
1:59:00
room for like maybe ten twelve. But that Wendy, that's like a different
1:59:05
I know if the person's alive. I get it signed. That's all.
1:59:10
I just something I do for Okay, okay, okay, I got you,
1:59:14
I got you well. I got a little package from Major Bendi.
1:59:16
The first I want to shout out Matt Kenny. Last week he got me
1:59:19
the Ultimate Bretton Piper and I forgot who got it from me? With Matt
1:59:23
Kenny, so thanks to him. But I got adr from NWA. I
1:59:27
don't know not Kenny. Literally gotta say that. From Major Bendy's. I
1:59:31
got the will You Marry Me? Macho Man available now on Major Bendy's dot
1:59:39
com. Pick it up. This is one of my favorite Macho Man gears.
1:59:42
It was never made in figure form. It's on a lot of promotional
1:59:45
stuff. Magazine covers is where he proposes to Liz. The back says will
1:59:49
you marry me? This is great? And there's also three more ringside three
1:59:55
more exclusives. One is the Ringside exclusive We're calling it meat stick Macho Man.
2:00:00
You know, can't can't quite say, well, listen, meatstick Macho
2:00:04
Man. You know savage right there looks really good. Also, we talked
2:00:08
about earlier the pro wrestling tease Macho Man, get that right now, and
2:00:13
then of course the the Wrestling Collector shot has Bro Macho Man. So these
2:00:16
are all available, pick them up. Uh, but yeah, I Macho
2:00:20
Man is so toy if we can make these figures forever. So if you
2:00:24
guys keep buying them, will keep making them. He wore so many outfits.
2:00:27
It's like so many outfits. Not to not to turn this into me
2:00:30
interviewing you guys on your own show, but how like when you guys were
2:00:34
kids, if someone was like, hey, you know that one day you're
2:00:38
gonna be making toys of Macho Man and Rick Flair and Giant Crazy Man.
2:00:45
It's it's it's been a lot of fun, and the fact that we're doing
2:00:47
it the right way, like going through some of these companies, who are,
2:00:50
you know, signing people without really signing them and stuff like that.
2:00:55
So it's it's it's it's been a lot of fun, and it's it's challenging,
2:00:59
but it's it's is it really work? You know, we're fucking making
2:01:02
toys. It's it's I mean, it is, but it's awesome. But
2:01:05
there's moments like that that aren't lost to me, like giving Hacksaw that royalty
2:01:09
check and out like appreciative he with hearing and his wife where we're like moments
2:01:13
like that really make it like whoa this is like heroes. You're hooking up
2:01:18
your heroes, Like that's insane, insane. You know a lot of these
2:01:25
guys, you know, back in the day with the l j NS,
2:01:27
you've heard the stories that people didn't even get checks for those lads, didn't
2:01:30
even get paid for them, you know, and there's people like kill Jim
2:01:33
and tell you you've got a million dollars. So you don't know what the
2:01:35
truth is. I don't, but we're doing it, you know, the
2:01:40
right way, and a lot of other companies are as well. But you
2:01:42
know, just to give these guys that, like like Brian said, give
2:01:45
hacksos royalty check, and we tell guys you can sign with whatever other company
2:01:48
you want, make whatever other figures you want, make as much money as
2:01:51
you want. I don't give a ship, you know, let let everyone
2:01:54
get paid. Let everyone get money, you know. Yeah, it's it's
2:01:57
awesome. It's crazy to see and like I know you guys thirty years ago
2:02:00
and to see what it is now is wild. Yeah, that's pretty well.
2:02:05
We take a lot of advice from you for our YouTube channel too.
2:02:08
By the way, we've had I'm trying to figure this one out. Yeah,
2:02:14
Mark, did you get anything else or does anyone get in? No,
2:02:16
I've got that's nothing. That's my last thing is this was cool little
2:02:20
TEENA wrestling project. We were in Vegas for Rebellion, so there was a
2:02:27
Sin City photo shoot and they sold these exclusive prints on teena merch dot com.
2:02:31
So because I'm in it, it was my own thing. Even though
2:02:33
I signed it, I wanted one. So me and Eddie and Lash the
2:02:36
system of TEENA Tag Team Champion. So we'll keep that from a PC.
2:02:41
Awesome. The system is dope. I told him that I love it.
2:02:45
Yeah, in fantasy mind, I'm the lawyer of the system. That's what
2:02:48
I like. Anything comes up certainly won't be moved. He's not smart enough.
2:02:55
The last fuck. Come on, guys, he's a great guy.
2:03:00

2:03:39
I might bring him to indie shows. Probably not they're paying us to
2:03:42
travel with, but definitely on my easy to travel with right that the easiest
2:03:45
figures to travel with the zombies figure not so you gotta be careful with that
2:03:50
card. It's too big. Yeah. I hated traveling with the chill figures.
2:03:56
They would like come off the bubble sometimes and I'm like, well they're
2:04:00
whatever amount Yeah, yeah, waste traveling with the giant jazz. Whar's the
2:04:05

2:07:05
looked great. It's funny to be that you were You were right up against
2:07:10
Brian doing it was it was a weird thing because I tried. I obviously
2:07:15
I reached out to Brian about the date and then he proceeded to tell me,
2:07:20
oh, no, Cap, that's the only day, Cap only the
2:07:25
only date we can get that building. And it was a big, big
2:07:27

2:07:30
blast. Joe Joe Shoes came in. It was just it. Man was
2:07:36

Friday said I love Oshcarsh so much. I'm buying a place here. Yeah.
2:07:49
Great. Everyone loves the little town, especially down where your show is
2:07:56
like on the water there. Like people like it really like surprises people.
2:08:00
Yeah, I love it. I thought maybe it was gonna run for mayor
2:08:03
after a Hero that night. Yeah, maybe maybe you didn't even get book
2:08:09
You didn't even want to book it for that show, remember that, and
2:08:11
you remember you didn't want to book Kevin Costler. I still don't want to
2:08:16
book Kevin Live three. I don't know. Dylan. You have been a
2:08:28
huge part of the podcast since the very beginning. Yeah, all three hundred
2:08:31
episodes, a lot of great moments. We we already talked about the the
2:08:35
PBR shoot, which was just an epic day which I've never seen a man
2:08:41
rally like you've rallied in ra you rallied, but not like this. This
2:08:48
guy was literally out and then was partying later. All heroes were capes.
2:08:56
Yeah, I can't find when it fits. I hate putting the three of
2:09:05
you over obviously, but this, uh, the community that this podcast has
2:09:09
built for me really really has been incredible, not just for my quote unquote
2:09:18
brand, which everyone you know, that's the biggest word on the independence is
2:09:22
someone's brand, but that, but just meeting new people and people that have
2:09:26
become very very close friends and just all of that. I this podcast community
2:09:33
has always been so much fun. And then being able to promote whatnot that
2:09:37
I'm doing this Wednesday, whatnot dot com uh, but stuff like that where
2:09:43
I just I really really have loved the major pod community since day one,
2:09:48
and it's always been something of fun and the minute like it turns serious,
2:09:54
I always take a step back and go, what the fuck are we doing
2:09:58
here? Like this is about toy, this isn't about bullshit. I mean,
2:10:03
it's it's it's that's what this is about. This is about toys.
2:10:05
Why are we fighting over politics? Yeah? Hold on, swaggle swag.
2:10:11
I hate to dirupt you, but are you wearing a do rag? It's
2:10:15
a shirt shirt sleeve, yes, cover my bald. Yeah. I'm not
2:10:20
gonna spend fifty I'm not gonna spend fifty thousand dollars on hair plugs. I
2:10:28
mean, if we're adding up multiple times, let's hey, the Turkey business
2:10:31
sounds pretty nice. I know you guys are turn I don't know what you
2:10:37
guys are talking business. Come on, Vader, helmet is pretty I don't
2:10:43
know what you guys are talking about. Your Instagram dovator. Everybody wants to
2:10:46
lie, you know what. Yeah, that's what I want to a little
2:10:50
live aout. Why because you tweet a lot to me at times. That's
2:10:56
why the money I put in your pocket, Dylan, come on, here
2:11:01
we go. He guys, there it is. It couldn't go full thing
2:11:05
without Matt claiming that he made me. All right, Well, I uh
2:11:11
like we first met. One of the things that like broke the ice was
2:11:15
actual figures, like I remember you being like very stand offish the first two
2:11:20
or three times we ever met a TV. And then I remember I said
2:11:24
something that I was not a real dick. Oh we should go look for
2:11:26
that figure or this new figures and went to a Walmart and something, and
2:11:31
then you were going to toys and I go, oh, Matt was going
2:11:35
to get like food or protein or something fucking healthy. I'm sure I didn't
2:11:39
want any part of that. I wanted the part of the toys. And
2:11:43
so I remember it was like, Oh, these guys are I can like
2:11:46
get away with my right my toy debauchery with them because PUNK wasn't going to
2:11:52
like you played it. We all played it real cool until we were all
2:11:56
caught. But yeah, and that was only classics for me. I think
2:11:58
I think it was only but I guess I knew you knew and you were
2:12:03
into yeah percent on hundred percent, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And
2:12:07
it's it's just it's kind of crazy, like I talk about all the time
2:12:09
how wrestling toys are why I'm in wrestling because I stole my brother's wrestling toys,
2:12:16
his has bros, right, and I didn't know what they were.
2:12:18
I had Ninja turtles, but I didn't know what w W F was and
2:12:22
I just knew that they were the toys that my brother played with. Ah,
2:12:26
and then it turned into like loving wrestling. That's why I'm doing this.
2:12:31
Just kind of a weird I have wrestling figures to blame for doing wrestling.
2:12:37
I feel the same way a bit of Hasbro for people our age.
2:12:39
It was the gateway to loving pro wrestling. Yeah, and and he like
2:12:45
eventually he just gave me his because it was the Hey, this annoying younger
2:12:50
brother that just kept busting his figures and that that's it was. It was.
2:12:56
It was a neat It was a neat little thing. So we have
2:13:01
a ridiculous amount of submissions here, right, Mark, Well, hold on
2:13:03
before we move on there we can we can't. We gotta show the foot.
2:13:07
We gotta show that. The the most epic clip that we play all
2:13:11
the time. Uh, my son wore this shirt to wrestling Khan. Of
2:13:18
course, it's a classic. It's like Austin three sixteen. At this point,
2:13:24
j Comania. He got here, we go, his pants came down
2:13:26
on Saturday. You're forgive me, you grew up here? Where were you
2:13:31
thinking? Are you thinking? Yeah? Man, just drive over the solid
2:13:45
good I mean, I never go in my life. I can't not watch
2:13:56
the tow Wiggle Now I get ship. Are you or keep going with this?
2:14:16
What the fuck is it? It's been for years. I don't remember
2:14:20
that for at all. We don't have the anything. We don't have the
2:14:24
the Omas video, do we? Oh? Hold on? Did I video?
2:14:31
Jesus christ my Son still talks about that. Hi, Dylan, it's
2:14:35
your favorite w W superstar, amos. I know you've been training with Stay
2:14:39
for your upcoming match. I know you're gonna be ready. I know that
2:14:46
you're gonna win. Your brother, Kermit and myself would be very very proud
2:14:50
of you. Best of wishes and stay true. What legit? What's the
2:15:00
price at almas On? Oh my god? All right, that's good.
2:15:18
You're here for major Mark Purchases of the week, but we did a little
2:15:22
different. This is major Mark Purchases of the three hundred. So the deal
2:15:26
was talk about your best right, well, not not just figures, just
2:15:33
pod merch, pod memorabilia, that kind of stuff. And everybody knew exactly
2:15:39
what to do. They understood the assignment. They understood the assignment. That
2:15:41
was big. So let's let's dive right in there here is the first one
2:15:48
from christ that is by the way, all these people, all star contributors
2:15:54
or top contributors are like, you know, big parts of this Facebook group.
2:15:58
If you'd ever want to do this, if you want to submit for
2:16:01
the Major Mark purchases of the week, it's part of our basic tier and
2:16:03
up a Facebook group thing. Okay, he says. My favorite piece of
2:16:07
Major Pod memorabilia is the show notes from Live eighteen where I got to be
2:16:09
part of the show. It was such a great experience. And when Brian
2:16:13
gave this item away and is whatnot I knew, I wanted to track it
2:16:16
down instead of me having to hunt. Robert Hosier Junior reached out to me
2:16:20
right after he won the giveaway and sent it my way. Ironically, one
2:16:22
of the least valuable Major Pot items I own, but one that means a
2:16:26
ton to me. That's awesome. Chris girl Cock best last name in the
2:16:31
biz. In a very diehard Major Pod supporter, so we appreciate him even
2:16:37
though his name never goes without a smarkarl laugh for a joke because he's the
2:16:41
man. Okay, So he cruises is in the chat. He's always with
2:16:45
us for our ultimate things. Absolutely, He says best purchase of the last
2:16:50
three hundred weeks was definitely the two tickets for Live eleven at ten Roof in
2:16:54
Orlando that I bought for me and my older brother. The Forst Orlando Live
2:16:58
show was the best show of all time. First Brian Enter in his ride
2:17:03
gear from the GCW show. From meeting Big keV, who is probably the
2:17:07
best guest ever, Chuching to the boys dancing with Scotti Dohatti to Super Gabby
2:17:15
getting the loudest pop of the night. Also Brosky and I had Jordan fate
2:17:18
as we were wearing the same Jordan's we Go video in replies, but you
2:17:22
can see that if you're in the group. It was the best live show
2:17:24
I've ever been to, not just the best major pot show, the best
2:17:28
live anything I've ever been to. My older brother and I had such a
2:17:31
great time. Thank you for giving us those memories. That's awesome. We
2:17:35
love the tin Roof. I'm sure we'll be back. I mean, yeah,
2:17:37
that's it's a spot man. We haven't figured out, like you said,
2:17:41
we can make a real experience of it. Man, it's so fun
2:17:43
to be has to be felt to be, uh, experienced, you know
2:17:46
what I mean when we went to when Land and I went to Disney this
2:17:50
last year two weeks ago, he saw the Orlando I and he goes,
2:17:52
oh, that's run under there is where you guys do the live shows,
2:17:56
and so now that's kind of how he coordinates the Orlando I. Oh yeah,
2:18:01
that's true. Yeah. I was hoping somebody that the person with this
2:18:03
would would submit this, and they did so. Christy Giovanni says, I've
2:18:09
had a lot of pod related purchases over the last three hundred episodes, but
2:18:13
the greatest, most historical POT item I own is the microphone that Brian used
2:18:18
to record the first year of the pod, signed by Brian, Matt,
2:18:22
and Mark. The story from brian sales post was that Matt broke his microphone
2:18:26
so he was selling by another one. The mike sits front and center of
2:18:30
my major pod display and in my opinion, is definitely major pot Hall of
2:18:33
Fame museum worthy. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication with the last
2:18:35
fe hundred episodes. But the cool thing guys about that microphone is it's also
2:18:41
what col Cabana used to do his podcast with pretty sure. Yeah, yeah,
2:18:46
so we didn't give it back to him and stuff and get our own
2:18:50
stuff. Yeah, almost positive we'd never give it back. Sorry, we
2:18:58
told great. Now I'm gonna get a I'm going to get the subpoenat for
2:19:01
that man. All right, this one's great. I'm sorry, I'm more
2:19:07
into variant man. Brian Chair is the very first major pod item I ever
2:19:11
purchased. The official logo t from Pro Wrestling Teas back in September twenty eighteen.
2:19:16
If you purchased a shirt, you got one of these signed four by
2:19:18
six cards. I think they were limited to one hundred. I sent sold
2:19:22
the card, but I remember how excited I was to get not only the
2:19:24
shirt but this card as well. At the time, they were known as
2:19:28
Kurt and Zach and they even signed it like that. But this was one
2:19:31
of the first times we got to see the guys as Brian the Matt two
2:19:35
wrestling fans and figure collectors just like us. Such a cool giveaway. I
2:19:37
still wear the tank top version of the shirt once a week. Congrass on
2:19:41
three hundred boys, Well, thank you so much. That is a rare
2:19:46
item. That little card that we got printed out and that's me and Matt
2:19:50
as kids dressed as Hogan and Manto, like you know, just legitimately like
2:19:54
growing up super wrestling fans. Pretty cool, the actual first Pod merch piece.
2:19:58
I think that card that's on card is the first thing of all time.
2:20:03
Yep, look at this, guys. Wow, Almager says, when
2:20:09
it comes, it comes, And starting April twenty twenty, I tried to
2:20:11
be complete with major Pod figures to support the guys through what we all agree
2:20:16
was an insane year, from the Ringside figures to micro Brawlers and onto the
2:20:18
creation of major Bendi's. Over the next few years, I've tried to have
2:20:22
it all. The number of figures quickly outgrew the space I could devote.
2:20:26
So now some zip locks have been zipped and some toats have been filled,
2:20:30
but I still keep my favorite Pod figures displayed, and I'm looking forward to
2:20:33
the upcoming reshuffle when I make room for the Powertown figures later this year.
2:20:37
Here's the next three hundred episode. Scratch that figure, itch. I'm almost
2:20:41
mostly in ade that the most rare figure in there is a smart Mark figure,
2:20:46
which is what your ve is Zombie Valiant. Oh yeah, yeah,
2:20:50
yeah, oh true, true yeah. Actually I think that my micro brawler,
2:20:56
my red right move micro browler is less half the number of the zombie.
2:21:00
Yeah, Broski hit him with your line. Demand is greater than raverity.
2:21:07
All right, there it is Amy Marrigan. I said his name right
2:21:09
to three hundred episodes. To date, the Major Wrestling Figure podcast is generated
2:21:13
well over one thousand and six hundred pieces of merch. Holy, no one
2:21:20
can possibly be a completist. I tried my damn this for a long time.
2:21:22
I had to tap out, but I never stopped keeping meticulous track of
2:21:26
every single item. In March twenty twenty one, my early efforts even got
2:21:31
me the privilege of talking major Merch on a special YouTube episode with Matt and
2:21:35
Mark. Yeah, you could check that in our archives there. It was
2:21:39
during that episode that the Major Merch Book was first conceived. Despite his reputation
2:21:43
for saying no, Matt instead said do it. I asked my buddy Justin
2:21:48
Walsh to come along for the ride and do most of the work. I
2:21:52
suspect Justin regrets at it at least a little bit, if not more.
2:21:56
The printer was a know it all dick who had a problem with just about
2:22:01
everything we did. Ups destroyed the first, the whole first printing of the
2:22:05
book and our inexperience in packaging and shipping books destroyed most of the second run.
2:22:11
The third time was the charm. The book has really paid intangible dividends
2:22:16
for me. It's led to a lot of interactions with Major Marks I may
2:22:18
not have had otherwise, getting even tighter with Justin and spending a day at
2:22:22
Matthew Cardona's house doing Major Pod March shit. Long story short, the Major
2:22:26
pod March book is my favorite piece of Pod March. It is a complete
2:22:31
guy to the first three years of merch where about three months away from the
2:22:35
end of the second three years just saying, oh baby, man, that's
2:22:39
crazy and that book is like so classy and well done and it's like an
2:22:45
unbelievable piece of merchandise. Man, it's there. I mean that what a
2:22:50
dream team those two where Justin does all the photography for FWFS the pod and
2:22:54
then Legit took a picture of every single piece of merch They didn't just use
2:22:58
stock photos. Him and Email put that together. Unbelievable. If you want
2:23:03
to make another book, torture yourself, go for it. Also at a
2:23:07
lot of naked swoggle things a lot of naked swoggle things shocking Dylan doesn't like
2:23:11
because he can't put him on his merch table. Yeah, exactly, all
2:23:16
right, this one can't be topped, to be honest. Wow. One
2:23:22
of one best wishes Bar and Grill, Steel Cage Customs retro ring. I
2:23:24
bought a T shirt during the famous phone call promotion, patiently waiting for that
2:23:28
call for about two months. I was at a family party two days before
2:23:33
Live three and I get a random call from a private number. I run
2:23:35
outside and it's the boys calling. I tell them my plan to propose to
2:23:39
my now wife at the show and needed their help. Broski goes, let's
2:23:43
rig the raffle and the rest is history. Oh my god, Joe will
2:23:54
forever be great. I mean I think everyone figured it out when all that
2:23:58
happened. Really good. Now, guys, they have a mini Joven,
2:24:01
they have a child. That's so great. We can't do it without Lucas
2:24:07
Cacuccio. My most favorite memorable piece of bod March his hands down the sign
2:24:11
set of FWF Series one cards, which made me the second one thousand dollars
2:24:15
Broski of the Pod group. Although I will gladly bow down to Michael Fries
2:24:18
as the FWF card king. I look back and laugh at the craziness of
2:24:22
tracking down the guys on the cards, from trips to cap, taking them
2:24:26
to kywloons, making contacts with Facebook and Twitter to send through the mail.
2:24:30
I'll never forget Broski's reading my DM to John E's mother, making the secret
2:24:35
hip for the wrestling universe to meet up with mister one eight seven. The
2:24:39
thrill of the hunt was awesome. So he got all of those cards signed,
2:24:46
and the first person to do it, Matt paid one thousand bucks.
2:24:48
Yeah, he was two Matt foot and mouth thing to do or say.
2:24:52
I didn't think any would ever. It's like I told I toold someone whoever
2:24:56
it does that old man Bbiazzi. For a year I played a thousand.
2:25:00
There's one guy who's like like two hundred something, bro. I get the
2:25:01
tweet every day. I can't. I'm like, can we just give this
2:25:05
guy the freaking gift? I just hope one day out of the payout?
2:25:11
All right? We talked about him earlier justin Walls. We can't miss it.
2:25:15
How could you possibly post something other than the neon two hundred episodes ago,
2:25:18
I was lucky enough to be dubbed the Major Mark in celebration of episode
2:25:22
one hundred. Sure it was cool to put this one of four Neon sign
2:25:26
in my toy room, but the ways in which my life would change since
2:25:30
are almost too good to be true. From toy drives to fwf's, Boston
2:25:33
to Baltimore, Dallas to Vegas and everywhere in between. This show excuse me
2:25:39
has become far more than a podcast. It is quite literally a lifestyle.
2:25:41
Here's to the next three hundred. Cannot thank Universe enough for allowing me to
2:25:46
be a tiny part of it, the absolute ride of my life. This
2:25:50
sounds a great guy. I mean, it's funny to look back on this
2:25:54
at this point. He won that sign, like we really did not know
2:25:56
who he was, you know, right, he just stopped us with the
2:25:58
video. But you know, he's a great dude, and he's been an
2:26:01
awesome you know, contributor to the group and the podcast and a live podcasts
2:26:05
and fwfs and stuff. So did Johnny Cisco put in that he he bought
2:26:09
the Facebook and then sold it to us. He kicking himself because he didn't.
2:26:18
Okay, well that's it, guys. You know there's a lot of
2:26:20
great stuff in that thing. Everybody's got a ton of cool stuff and and
2:26:24
and items that like mean so much to them. And I will say the
2:26:26
one thing that a lot of people brought up was that the most important thing
2:26:31
to them are the friends that they met along the way. And I think
2:26:35
that, uh is is just such an amazing thing. Absolutely, I truly
2:26:41
like that that. Like I said earlier, the uh you know, I
2:26:43
didn't know Joe Shoes from anyone, and then I guess we met a while
2:26:50
back, Brian introduced. I don't know, but I guess I met him
2:26:52
one time and he has turned into a very close friend of mine and connect
2:27:00
uh the other midget of the major pod say that word? He can,
2:27:05
Yeah, I can, Okay, yeah you can, same as you can
2:27:07
say bald asshole like exactly hotly ship. But it really is about that and
2:27:24
and the amount of I think that's how the whole community, what the whole
2:27:28
community is turned into totally. Well, Dylan, we love you, but
2:27:31
it's sound for you to get the f out. Yeah, and maybe you
2:27:35
could unblock Matt. I don't know. I love that. I'd really appreciate
2:27:37
that. Now, thanks for sticking out. I know, I know it's
2:27:41
late. A CW wrestle con went on this weekend. Huh, that's why
2:27:46
you didn't even know, because you haven't blocked. I mean, yeah,
2:27:48
he'll one of these days. Probably not. All right, love you goodbye.
2:27:54
All right, let's go to the We're bringing it back, the Incarnation
2:27:58
of Domination, and I'll and I'll tell you this the Incarnation with a special
2:28:03
guest, and we will be doing their figures on this incarnation. He's here,
2:28:11

a mint on card. It's weird that these dolls make your dicks all hard,
2:28:46
grow a pack age, you got a kid's brain, push you off
2:28:50
the stage. That's gotta be Caine raging about red figures. And it's kind
2:28:54
of lame. The Real Limited runs your title reign word life Cardia Cardia soon

2:29:39
already got in my head. And that's Max Castle before he becomes famous.
2:29:43
That's that. And Bryce Donovan. Yeah, yeah, who's Max Castle?
2:29:50
That the Scissor kid? I like him? Man started out great.
2:29:58
Yeah, he's a sweet kid though. Man, yeah, like he thanks

2:30:16
Never like the matel zombies that? Yeah? Yeah, his ship's amazing.
2:30:26

2:30:31
I'm like, I don't see a damn zombie. And then Mark zombie.
2:30:33
He was making a zombie. I thought you guys did like a Bendi Halloween
2:30:39

2:30:46
you know. Anyway, my bad guys, this is very late for Heath.

2:31:01

2:31:07
yes, all right, We're gonna do a little un then we pick our
2:31:11
favorites. Okay, let's do it. I don't even remember all of them
2:31:18
all down. I still got a few of them. But yeah, I
2:31:24
just love the fact that they got my gear right, and they just slapped
2:31:28
the Nexus band on my right arm, but I still got I still got
2:31:31
that gear. When when this figure get got posted, I tweeted like,
2:31:37
and I was so pissed that Heath Slater he had a figure before me,
2:31:39
because they were really dogging me and not making me able to tell. And
2:31:43
then and then Bill mckina like messaged me separately and set me a photo of
2:31:46
my figure. Why hate on me? Man? It wasn't hate on you.
2:31:54
But it's like these motherfucking Nexus kids coming at Figures right away. I've
2:31:56
been here fucking for years. Hey, brother, I don't pick that ship.
2:32:00
I don't know these Nexus kids. All the Nexus is older than brother.
2:32:09
Oh ship. Yeah, pretty much. It's even wild. See stuff
2:32:13
that we did with old the old scratch logo like that, it's like it
2:32:16
just all with the W gotcha. Yes, I haven't been that way in
2:32:22
over ten years now. Yeah, change the title right the network. So
2:32:30
yeah, first Figures before though, Yeah, we had Jacks fingure. Were
2:32:35
you excited about giving the Mattel? Of course I was excited about this man
2:32:41
like, man, I gotta buy a Christian to get me, and that's
2:32:43
annoying. I didn't really care, man. It was just one of those
2:32:46
things that, I mean, you used your first figure, You're excited,
2:32:50
You're running through the Walmarts and k Mart's just trying to look through the bins
2:32:54
to find them and everything, you know, And I mean Midel would only
2:32:58
send you like six you know. Well, that's all I get. We've
2:33:01
said many times on the show for three hundred episodes that Christian is a dick?
2:33:05
Was he was? He a dick to you when he was your pro.
2:33:07
He's a definitely assholehole, but you got to know how to take him
2:33:13
though, Like personally he's a great guy, but he's a definitely asshole.
2:33:20
All Right, what's next? This one's got to be more special, right
2:33:26
because this is your actual partner, your actual friend. Yeah, this happened,
2:33:30
like you guys won the tag title. That's pretty cool. Yeah,
2:33:31
we were the first batch to have the have the copper titles in the for
2:33:37
the like the toys, so you would have to get our figures to get
2:33:41
the titles too. Ah, yeah, you know, so it was cool
2:33:46
that way. Also, which they got rid of that design like a couple
2:33:50
of weeks ago, right when three of us all held that, you know,
2:33:52
in an incarnation of that belt. Yeah. Man, I honestly think
2:33:56
those titles are amazing now, like the two that they made the time,
2:34:00
I remember thinking they were so ugly, but it was so long and so
2:34:03
many people held them that I think they're kind of cool. Yeah. I
2:34:05
feel like you're gonna have a lot of kids that grow up in the Copper
2:34:09
ones are the best. Yeah. I mean, watch copper and black become
2:34:15
a style, you know, in the future and they're like, damn,
2:34:16
those titles were awesome. You know, that's how weird ship happens. All
2:34:22
right, What's what's happen to this one? Uh? I got that thing
2:34:30
up there, but I was a mystery one. I wasn't even advertised I
2:34:33
was there. I was a little mystery ball. But yeah, I remember,
2:34:41
I remember. Yeah, dude, that thing is literally the size of
2:34:45
your finger tips. It's like the size of your thumbnail. Yeah, it's
2:34:48
itty bitty man. And what's funny is that if you looked on the side,
2:34:52
it literally has my tattoos. Also that this like there's something to about
2:35:00
those that are so kid friendly. Because Madison, my like almost four year
2:35:03
old, will stare at my case of all my figures I've had Mike,
2:35:05
and she's like, I want that one, and I'm like, really,
2:35:07
come on, the one I can't like replace to give you, like ridiculous.
2:35:11
And then actually what I was. I tried to find one for on
2:35:13
eBay and then I found like Disney Princess Squinky, so I got that and
2:35:18
that just then she totally forgot about me. Of course, now she did
2:35:20
play with and the Disney princesses. That's what she's got to do what I'm
2:35:24
saying. It's so old. I couldn't really find like my squinky and I
2:35:28
wasn't going to give her the one in my case. Yeah, hey,
2:35:31
hold on, hold on, are you in the same pack as like I
2:35:35
was? I don't think so, because I have another pack of that just
2:35:39
like that. No, I don't think so. I can give it to
2:35:41
you, pal, I know, but I'm pretty they were all different people
2:35:46
in different sets, but it wasn't didn't change from the sets. It was
2:35:48
what it was. Yeah, all right, what's after this one? The
2:35:54
first single? Right? First Elite Man, first Leap, first single?
2:35:58
That one. I was excited about the whole random ladder thing, I think
2:36:05
because it was in the bank, right in the bank, dude, it
2:36:07
was. But what happened was is that I had that pair of gear for
2:36:11
like four months before money in the bank, and at money in bank,
2:36:16
I switched the colors up, and then then I had They told me like,
2:36:20
why didn't you wear the gear? You know, that gear for running
2:36:24
the bank. Because I told him I was like, it's a pay per
2:36:26
view. I was going to switch it up. They're like, well,
2:36:28
I guess man, tell emailed I'm saying that they had that figure for that
2:36:31
night, thinking that I want didn't they checked to calculate, of course,
2:36:39
and you think that big pay per view because money in the bank's Karen haircut
2:36:43
Heath. Oh brother, that's a soccer mom right there. Oh yeah,
2:36:48
hey, what happened was too I was. I told my my salon lady
2:36:54
that was cutting my hair that I just wanted it like right a top of
2:36:58
my traps, but she took it up like right below my ears to where
2:37:05
when I got dying. There was a card also that they put out that
2:37:09
it's horrible. Man, they make you cut it right before NX or did
2:37:13
you that beforehand? No? No, no, they made me. They
2:37:16
made me cut it from you remember how long it used to be like that
2:37:22
exactly. But then they made me cut it. They wanted to cut it
2:37:24
like this, like change my whole look. And then I looked at Johnny
2:37:28
and I'm like, dude, you're the one that damn told me to grow
2:37:31
my damn hair out, Like why the hell am I cutting it now?
2:37:33
And that's when they started saying that I resembled Edge too much. Then I
2:37:39
went from pants to damn trunks to where I was just like, what the
2:37:43
fuck, Like, I'm nervous as ship. Never tanned or shaved my legs
2:37:48
ever, you know till then. And then I just told him, I
2:37:52
said, brother, I'm just cutting my hair up to my like right,
2:37:54
but low my shoulder, you know, like I'm not going to cut it
2:37:56
all the way off. I've groomed this ship out for two So then that's
2:38:01
how that happened. But that was after this. That's I got that too
2:38:09
much, man, where I was like, I think the only reason they
2:38:11
brought Edge down to fc W to get in the ring with me to cut
2:38:15
a promo was just to compare us. Look, I swear to god,
2:38:20
this one said, your hair is a little longer. This is like the
2:38:22
heat I remember. Yeah, that's the row one thousand tides. This isn't
2:38:31
no no, yeah, this is me I think I need. This is
2:38:35
my favorite heath. Yeah, that's the that's the raw one thousand. I
2:38:37
feel like you look way too happy though, to get get beaten up by
2:38:41
Vader like you. I mean back then, you know, I was just
2:38:45
like, holy shit, I'm working all these legends and called up in the
2:38:48
moment and being like, oh wow, what the hell you know. But
2:38:50
then now it's like, damn, it's cool ship. I remember this era
2:38:54
of noble coming in the locker room talking and he goes, I don't know
2:38:56
what to tell you, but he just loves laughing at you. It kept
2:39:05
me a job for a minute, A losing streak guy. Then that's the
2:39:13
three on B one for sure. Hell yeah, that's when I that's the
2:39:18
when I have one autographed in my gym that you sign that. That's probably
2:39:22
one of my favorites, being honest, because all the yeah, that's the
2:39:28
one that I was just like, okay, I'm looking better than you know.
2:39:31
I like upper here. Damn right. I was in a band,
2:39:33
bro, I was like Motley Crew on the road, getting in fights and
2:39:37
every weekend this is like lost in the shuffle. This is partying too much.
2:39:50
He didn't know what the hell he was doing. Slater Gator Heath,
2:39:56
Yeah, disheveled man. Think about this is that these tights. I just
2:40:01
literally wanted some loud ass ship that I didn't think no one had. So
2:40:07
Mattel said that they made these because they haven't had a color like that before,
2:40:11
right, yeah, yeah, So that was all right? Do you
2:40:20
own this? Dude? You you got me this you did, And but
2:40:26
I don't have the three on B figure in mine. I've got the copper
2:40:30
tights that we just looked at. Oh. I don't know if it's a
2:40:35
variant or not. I just that means it exists. Are you in this
2:40:39
movie? Like why did you come out random? Oh? No, I
2:40:45
was the red little bird in that movie. Just how many do you have?
2:40:54
He is a sensitive subject, not one you don't no what. I've
2:41:03
had this in my safe searches for two years because Heath and I had this
2:41:07
conversation that he doesn't on these. I don't have no one and I don't
2:41:11
even have Heath in there. I just have ww STA Rambo, which is
2:41:16
what they were called. Yeah, it's like never there's never been alert for
2:41:20
it for anyone, which is scary. My only one I have is the
2:41:26
wrist is glued because I kept buying them and they kept breaking it before I
2:41:28
even opened it. There's a funny story about that little cut on my nose
2:41:33
allside. I was going to say, what in the face, Yeah,
2:41:37
a little bit. So we were in Fairfax, Virginia, I think it
2:41:43
was. It was somewhere in Virginia. So Eric Rowan had a buddy that
2:41:48
was going to keep his bar open for his food, drinks and all that
2:41:52
stuff. So we get there next thing, you know, man, it's
2:41:56
just packed with fans, fans everywhere. We're having some drinks for going.
2:42:01
Uh, we're listening to a band that's on stage and everything. But it
2:42:07
was so tight that the band members was like, man, y'all can sit
2:42:09
on the stage if you want, and we're just like, you know,
2:42:11
cool. So I'm sitting there and here comes this little ass kid man like
2:42:16
little kid, but he's like thirty years old, you know, you know,
2:42:24
he was just little, but he had he had like didn't grow up
2:42:28
all the way. It's short, yeah, like little, maybe a little
2:42:31
taller, but yeah. The dude had the Eagle Wing title. Oh wait,
2:42:39
Eagle yeah, and then the n w A title. And this motherfucker
2:42:46
saw me and just took off running and jumped up on stage and thought his
2:42:52
drunk ass was going to be a perfectly place stunt like in a movie.
2:42:56
And he just collides into me and the dagg title hits me right, I
2:43:03
like I got hard weight on a bar about the brother. I got up
2:43:07
and I grabbed him and I just threw him down on the floor and I'm
2:43:11
just sitting there wiping my face and my nose is bleeding, and I'm like,
2:43:13
really about to kill this kid? You know. Baron Corbin was there
2:43:18
and Eric Row and they're all like, hey man, calm down. I'm
2:43:20
like, what the fuck? What you know? Like, who is this
2:43:24
kid? You know? Just went off and then replica title of the wing
2:43:28
Eagle hard yeah picture and it's in this thing forever exactly. And now that's
2:43:37
what I'm saying, man, Like, I'm gonna have to get some touch
2:43:39
up pain if great, I got kids with the old wrist tape always bothers
2:43:48
me. But damn, why don't I have wrist tape on. I'm assuming
2:43:52
you took reference pictures you didn't tape up yet. That's probably what he did.
2:43:56
I'll be exactly what I did. Actually, he he's pointing out three
2:44:00
over the years, he does not cut the sleeves off his shirt, and
2:44:03
this is a sleeveless shirt. Yeah about that too. I got an email
2:44:11
and they told me that on the back of this box, I have cut
2:44:15
off shirts. And then you can see me cutting off the sleeves of my
2:44:18
shirts because I got a card with cut off sleeves on and all this other
2:44:22
stuff now smart to match that going smart? Hey man, that was y'all.
2:44:33
Man, that was you guys got me this and that looks like I
2:44:37
got chicken pox all over me. Kiss it's like a Ginger Scott hall Man,
2:44:48

2:46:22
I will say this. You and Rhino, We're supposed to have a battle
2:46:24

2:52:22
here's Matt's question from fig Addict at fig addict, what are some predictions and
2:52:30
goals you want to accomplish by the next three hundred episodes? What are we
2:52:33
talking about on episode six hundred? I wrote out some notes. I wrote
2:52:41
down some goals. Okay, it's like a vision board here, little vision
2:52:45
board here, all my notes. Okay. Obviously one is to grow like
2:52:50
the YouTube because our YouTube audience is just for such a long time, it's
2:52:54
different than our regular audio audience, right, So grow both audiences and grow
2:52:58
them because we talk about all the time, we need to grow just the
2:53:03
general audience first and then we can like, all right, let's get some
2:53:07
more Patreon members stuff like that, but just growing, like just put out
2:53:09
free content for you guys on YouTube, whether it be like this this Galuo
2:53:13
video we're working on, or the Matt and Brian incarnations. You know,
2:53:18
that's why we brought the pod to YouTube, because I think this is where
2:53:20
we're really going to grow as YouTube. Just giving you more free content.
2:53:24
And then, of course you know, we'll do special stuff behind the paywall
2:53:26
on major marks. But that's just one thing, just to grow that as
2:53:30
much as we can. I want to do the Matt Cardona roast. Wow,

2:53:54
farm and never be heard from again. I can't don't want to be anywhere
2:54:00
near a room that's gonna completely start to make fun of me the entire day.

2:54:54
in fucking retail. Like of course Major Benny's that come is great, but
2:54:56
I want to be in Target Walmart. And I want to be more than
2:55:00
wrestling figures. I want to do Power Rangers, Turtle Star Wars kind of
2:55:03
like how Funko Pop does everything. And then we've talked about this for years.
2:55:07
I want to do like the major fests, which we'll have like a
2:55:09
show, big meet and greet, and by show, I mean wrestling show.
2:55:13
Bring back you got to carry that title. Pal. I've always said
2:55:18
Downstate plays a concert, but also like like a toy hyo type of like
2:55:24
tons of toys about a cruise cruise. If someone approached us for a cruise,
2:55:31
I wouldn't turn them down. But it's really not on my vision board.
2:55:37
What about you guys, what goals you guys have for Does that call
2:55:41
all that the same? But I think you know, from the beginning of
2:55:45
time of doing the show, I think it's just like getting people understand that
2:55:46
this is more than just like a toy podcast, right, it's breaking that
2:55:52
perception and getting more ears and eyes on what we do eatune every week.
2:55:58
Yeah, very specific. I really want to grow the numbers of our second
2:56:03
YouTube channel. I would love to get one hundred thousand on there, just
2:56:07
like the other one. So I've been sort of that's I guess my little
2:56:11
baby there. So well, I get to sell the plaque when that happens.
2:56:15
Yeah, Colt, what do you think we should do? Listen?
2:56:18
I have something I'm seeing major fest in the chat, and I for you
2:56:22
would like to be the Chicago promoter and bring you back to Chicago to do
2:56:28
a live show. We want you so bad. Does that bar we did
2:56:31
live for it not exists anymore. That does not exist. I got a
2:56:35
new place. It might not be as big, but I think if we
2:56:37
did not as big as that bar. Well, this is the Lincoln Lounge
2:56:43
in Chicago. I think fits like one hundred to one hundred and twenty five.
2:56:46
Oh, that's great, VIPs, It's ready to go. I meant
2:56:50
to say when we had Maven on Carolines, Zach Linder reported to me that
2:56:54
does not exist. Anymore. Yeah, I was like, we made a
2:56:58
big deal about it, we talked about on the podcast. I don't remember
2:57:00
this at all unless the yeah cte down on that one and one thing.
2:57:05
I say this, like Brian and Marco time. This is not a good
2:57:07
example, but I'm gonna use it anyway. Like Ringside Collectibles on their Instagram,
2:57:11
right, of course, they're the number one. They've been around for
2:57:13
decades. They have three hundred, approximately three hundred thousand followers on there,
2:57:18
right, and we have like sixty thousand. So there's like over two hundred
2:57:24
thousand wrestling fans who like don't in theory, So there's just so much room
2:57:30
for us to grow. Yeah that things existed for you. That's the same
2:57:33
with your Twitter, Okay, But what I'm saying is that it's not like,
2:57:35
oh, we've maxed out on our wrestling figure fans. But the point
2:57:39
is absolutely not. You're right. You're right, there's hundreds of thousands of
2:57:43
more that we just got to get, even if we got five thousand of
2:57:46
them, right, you know, all right? Colts question Charles Colton great
2:57:52
names. One time in like two thousand and six or two thousand and seven,
2:57:56
I walked into the bathroom at an OVW show in eat Town, Kentucky,
2:58:01
and one of you was wetting your hair and then sprayed down into your
2:58:05
trunks, one of you. And why, first off, Charles Culton is
2:58:07
just like your Burnercount too. I can with extreme confidence say there was no
2:58:15
way that was me. Why would I ever spray dou by Top. I
2:58:18
definitely maybe spray my hair, but I can't foresee ever spray it down by
2:58:22
t. When I read that and picked that, first of all, I
2:58:26
picked it because I was there with you guys, Okay, right, I
2:58:30
mean I was etown that was in that era. I was on the road
2:58:31
making press events. Yes, I was at your apartment where you bought all
2:58:37
the lj ns from a guy to eBay, and I thought you were crazy
2:58:41
to buy it for three hundred dollars. Now it probably goes for twenty five
2:58:43
thousand or whatever. It was insane investment actually now looking but I definitely thought
2:58:48
it was Cardona who was the child. Yeah, I mean there's no doubt,
2:58:52
like for sure, Why would I screw I beat us something weird?
2:58:56
Why do you do a lot of things that you do? Yeah, listen,
2:59:01
don't I don't think that was, Oh my god, he's gonna kill
2:59:07
me for telling this story. But remember that time when Rosky found that chicks
2:59:11
out to wear in this room. He goes, look what I found you
2:59:13
showing the girl. She goes, that's not mine. Some of the girls
2:59:18
I have contexted, what the hell? Because he left something behind and he
2:59:26
goes, those aren't mine. Chris be young to be young Jesus Christ,
2:59:33
we know the real story, but we can't talk about that public. Okay.
2:59:41
My question, oh man, this pod has had a big impact on
2:59:45
wrestling figure collecting world. After three hundred episodes, what do you feel the
2:59:48
biggest impact the pod has had on the collecting community and the wrestling fig industry
2:59:52
as a whole. All Right? I picked this because I told Brian early
2:59:58
on, like before we were really friends and when we just started talking about
3:00:03
figures or whatever, that I felt like him and Brosky made me feel like
3:00:09
it was okay to recollect figures and also even allow my mind to think about
3:00:15
it as a hobby. Like Brosky top of the world in the wrestling in
3:00:20
twenty eleven, twenty twelve, right, just that the cool dude that everybody
3:00:24
loved and sort of wanted to wish that he was doing well is also telling
3:00:28
you, you know what, I am trying for the title, but I
3:00:31
am also a fucking nerd, and I like Star Wars and my girlfriend's Princess
3:00:33
Leah, and I fucking collect figures. And then I just feel like I
3:00:37
was like me fucking too pal, and I loved it. And I really
3:00:43
think that you guys had a lot to do with this resurgence in wrestling collectibles,
3:00:50
but also just like hobbyist toy collectors as a whole. That's my opinion
3:00:56
on it. Yeah, I don't want to take any credit at like I
3:01:00
do think that was definitely our goal was to break down those those walls and
3:01:03
and and eliminate that forty year old virgin kind of stigma. That's my favorite
3:01:07
way to explain it. Yeah, you know, we definitely that was definitely
3:01:13
our goal for sure. And I definitely feel it's a lot more accepted and
3:01:16
there's a lot more and there's also like more podcasts coming out about wrestling figures
3:01:20
and more more Instagram accounts, and I think the more the merrier, you
3:01:24
know, I'm not trying to say you guys can't post like no, I
3:01:26
want because the bigger this hobby gets, the bigger gets for everybody, you
3:01:30
know. So I'll say something as someone who's been listening since day one,
3:01:37
is I think what you guys have done for me as a wrestler, and
3:01:41
also it's evolved. First of all, you you made me a better business
3:01:43
man when it comes to preparing my kind of one of ones or my my
3:01:50
elite stuff, those kind of things I think have made me a better as
3:01:56
someone. As you guys know who's been obsessed with the merch table before was
3:02:01
before there was a merch table. It was me and a couple of the
3:02:03
vendors, And it's so crazy to look back now how smart these vendors were.
3:02:09
And I know Cardona knows this because he's like, they're all taking advantage
3:02:11
of me, right, like that's our number one worry. Whereas there was
3:02:15
a time where I was like, yeah, I'll sign whatever you want,
3:02:16
of course, and then I didn't realize it. So I think as as
3:02:20
you guys started with figures and then you've progressed into the world of just autographs
3:02:24
and cards and all of that stuff. Now it's really gotten my brain as
3:02:28
a wrestler. I'm sure there's a lot of other wrestlers too, of like
3:02:30
thinking of that stuff and understanding it and also being able to also being able
3:02:33
to give better value to our customer. You know, before I just thought
3:02:37
if you were like a diehard cold fan, like I got your shirt,
3:02:41
here you go. And now I kind of realized just the world that's out
3:02:45
there to give to someone who is into a specific connection to the sale.
3:02:50
Right Well, that was so that was like they like, and that's I
3:02:54
think the young Bucks even write in their book, is like that I understood
3:02:56
right away, was at the table meeting them, becoming friends with them again
3:03:01
breaking down that. But I think there's even bigger things of like you know,
3:03:05
match worn stuff or just kind of just even bigger things that you guys
3:03:09
have kind of opened my eyes too, right Yeah, the fourty old version
3:03:13
of thing is my favorite way to put it. I'm like, you know,
3:03:16
I love that movie. If it's on, I don't change the channel.
3:03:18
But the premise is that this guy is this unfuckable weirdo in society that
3:03:24
because he collects toys, and it's like that just wouldn't even work nowadays,
3:03:28
I don't think, and whether we have something to do with that or not,
3:03:31
or we don't have to take credit for or whatever. But that's pretty
3:03:33
cool that you know that's not the case anymore. Mike Small's example here is
3:03:37
pretty interesting. He says, there's been more transparency by these companies because you
3:03:41
guys are porting on the hot button issues. I mean that's a direct cause
3:03:43
and effect that our podcast have had. I feel, Yeah, Tornado Tom
3:03:50
another thing. It's like, you know, like we didn't invent Whatnot,
3:03:54
right, I don't even know if we were the first people on it.
3:03:56
But like I I'm all for like sharing the wealth, you know, So
3:04:00
I love that everyone else is making money on these things. And you know,
3:04:03
like I make more on Whatnot than I do at an indie show.
3:04:07
And I so like I would assume like SDL does as well. And now
3:04:11
she has Man's and now you know, there's other so many wrestlers are on
3:04:13
it now, and there's you know, if Ethan has like a great fucking
3:04:18
blog, and we can all learn how to make you know, we're all
3:04:20
learning off each other. You know. We we all stole fucking Cabanta's blueprint,
3:04:26
you know what I'm saying, Like we literally stole his microphone. So
3:04:28
like we're all seld it, so we're all learning off each other. Positive
3:04:33
that story is true. But uh and even when you say that, so
3:04:35
even back to me, I started my podcast in twenty ten, and I
3:04:39
think Steve Austin might have started his in twenty fourteen, and Jericho and Jr.
3:04:43
You know, like four years afterwards, and I remember people being like
3:04:46
upset, and I was like, oh no, no, no, no,
3:04:48
Like now people are going to understand that there's wrestling wrestlers with wrestling podcasts,
3:04:52
and now they're going to go who else has one? And they're gonna
3:04:56
sing like crazy library and then you know it's gonna grow from there. So
3:05:01
I was never afraid of that. Stone Cold literally led me to you,
3:05:03
and then I listened to all the episodes from one to catching up. Well,
3:05:09
we were friends for along. We've been friends for a long time,
3:05:11
so I was a day one combat at one point, man, it was
3:05:13
years. All I listened to was your podcast and Conan's podcast, and they
3:05:18
were the only ones like in existence, and you were way ahead of him.
3:05:20
Even I remember I used to be like on the road, w like
3:05:24
driving. It was like on a website. I didn't even have a podcast
3:05:28
app. Yeah, on your I've been a very early adopter to listen to
3:05:33
podcasts. That's why I started it, and it was you had to download
3:05:37
it from iTunes, sink into your sink your uh not even your iPhone,
3:05:41
your i pod, and then extract your extract your podcasts from your iTunes to
3:05:46
your eyebody holy shit ob noxious, which I definitely did, and then I
3:05:50
would listen to like dcw ones or dudes there were any like repeatedly like wow,
3:05:58
all right, last question here from Brian uh DJ not today, jackass.
3:06:03
We all know how amazing the podcast is and what it's done for your
3:06:05
careers and goals. What's the hardest part of being a member of the Major
3:06:09
put team. It's tough because we love doing this. I don't want to
3:06:15
say anything's really hard, right, you know, at the end of the
3:06:16
day, like we're hanging out with our friends talking with toys. But there's
3:06:20
hard I mean, I think TTD and Mark do the actual like hard work
3:06:24
behind the scenes, you know, the editing and the bills and things like
3:06:28
that. I got, I guess at the end of the day, and
3:06:31
I kind of have to, like says to my wife my family sometimes like
3:06:35
I want to be mentally prepared for this and give it my all, like
3:06:41
energy wise and focus, and sometimes it's not always easiest and I have to
3:06:43
like, you know, whatever the road schedule has been, or whatever I
3:06:46
did as a dad that day, whatever that that part is what Like,
3:06:50
you know, sometimes I have to you know, put my big boy,
3:06:54
big boy pants on for you know, like we kind of been saying all
3:06:58
episode long. When we first started this, it was just like, oh,
3:07:01
let's just talk about the wrestling figures. Didn't even think about making any
3:07:05
money off of it. Now it's become a full blown two businesses where it's
3:07:09
like, okay, you know, whether I'm tired or not tired or what
3:07:13
the shit to do? This is my fucking job. And it's not like
3:07:16
a little it's not the it's not a side hustle anymore. It's not a
3:07:20
hobby anymore. Like this is what's paying the bills. So like certain things
3:07:24
have to be done today. Did I have to fly home cross country to
3:07:26
be on this. I didn't have to, but I wanted to because I
3:07:31
knew it was gonna be on YouTube, It's gonna be a big episode.
3:07:33
I could have easily been recording in Chelsea's dad's fucking spare bedroom. But I
3:07:37
knew it was a big deal, so we know, I gotta get fucking
3:07:39
home. So there's sacrifices we all make to make this work. And I
3:07:43
was to say I was talking out loud to Liz about next week, which,
3:07:46
by the way, we're not gonna be live at our normal time because
3:07:50
of me, Like I have like a really unique, bizarre thing I'll be
3:07:52
doing and I probably will not have slept at like literally at all, and
3:07:58
we're gonna do the pot Tuesday morning. And it's like I have to like
3:08:01
push myself. And that's another thing. We have three separate schedules. So
3:08:03
first, you know, Brian and I on the same schedule, and Mark
3:08:05
just fucking edited it and then it was a pandemic. We're all the fuck,
3:08:09
We're all fucking home. But now schedules, sweet, we're three totally
3:08:15
different schedules, and that's just wrestling schedule. Work schedules are different, and
3:08:18
then you add in like personal stuff, real life, and it totally changes
3:08:22
it up. So it's a job with that it be I think this is
3:08:26
the me and Mark. We have this discussion a lot. The podcast has
3:08:30
grown where it's grown so much, but it's not at that level. It
3:08:33
hasn't grown enough where we could like really get help where we still be so
3:08:39
hands out, like we can't hire. We have so many people who help
3:08:41
us out the freedom Billy Peck, j George, you know, like TTD
3:08:46
Connict so and you're you're your brother, Timmy, like so many people,
3:08:48
but like we don't we need like a they're like such an essential team.
3:08:52
But like this isn't like it's a real business without being a real business.
3:08:56
Yeah, ideally somebody would be working forty hours a week on social media,
3:09:00
right something. We're working for you hours a week on on on YouTube.
3:09:03
But but yeah, we have people that help you out. Beautiful thing to
3:09:05
be in that place. I'll tell you that we've grown so much, but
3:09:09
we haven't. We We're like we just need to grow a little more to
3:09:13
turn that corner, turn that page. I hate to say, like fake
3:09:16
it till you make it, but we've kind of been faked it till we
3:09:18
made it. We've made it, but not enough, you know. So
3:09:22
that's that's the hardest part. I think, Well, you guys do so
3:09:24
such great work, but I'll I'll tell you The hardest thing about this show
3:09:28
is Matt Cardona after popping a blue you using the code major So great.
3:09:37
That is great. Uh these I've been using these super chests. Thank you
3:09:41
guys very much for the support all day on the on the YouTube for sure.
3:09:45
Oh and hey, you're right her HERM the worm can't ever get HERM
3:09:48
big part. Imagine if I was able to get HERM in a real fuck
3:09:52
it, if he was on pay roll, on salary for doing tiktoks and
3:09:56
not just the chump changes. He's great, he's great everybody it works for
3:10:00
for pennies first. But that's the thing about the podcast, right, It's
3:10:03
like what I love about it and not just Johnny Clutch is so much fucking
3:10:11
ship, you know, and like what I think I love about this podcast
3:10:13
the most, and I think it works. You can say about the community
3:10:16
and our actual major podcast team. You line these motherfuckers up and you look
3:10:22
at them. There's no way they're hanging out or being friends in real life.
3:10:26
But this wrestling figure thing, you know, brings us all together.
3:10:28
Like that when we all were in that airbnb and we went out to Disney,
3:10:33
like what the what is this? What is this? Group, you
3:10:37
know, And it's the it's the the the wrestling figures in this whole like
3:10:43
community that it's brought us all together. All right, Well, Colt,
3:10:50
thanks for staying up late. Well it's actually less, it's not as late
3:10:52
for you. Right, Yeah, I'm doing okay. I'll tell you what.
3:10:56
Three hundred episodes, congratulations, And I'll tell you why I listen every
3:10:58
week because you two, you three, pardon me, Mark, you three
3:11:03
are so passionate about this. And that's the importance about something when I listen
3:11:07
to a podcast is passion and you can tell how much you love it.
3:11:11
And I'm so happy and and it shows, and I think it's uh,
3:11:15
it'll go as long as it'll go, as long as you want, and
3:11:18
uh as as uh, you know, as hard as you want. And
3:11:22
bluetoo butt intended. Okay, ran it. Hopefully we have one more f
3:11:26

3:11:30
about it. If we found it, I know I heard, and you
3:11:33
know all you know me, I'm just looking for another book. And that's
3:11:35
how I prayed. Just just be decisive and look here you're gonna wear Okay,
3:11:43

3:11:46
