Latest / Bradders Grappers / A wHoLe NeW ERROR - Epi 10 (Futureshock: Attitude Error 2.0 @Fairfield Social Club)
Transcript
- 0:13Welcome to Brad's Graphers episode 10 because I have been
- 0:19getting the episode order wrong apparently, but who the hell
- 0:26cares? This is episode 10.
- 0:28Because I have double checked and because I've made a few
- 0:34errors, this episode is going to fall quite neatly into
- 0:40particular topic as we look back from this past Sunday at the
- 0:46Fairfield Social Club for future Shock Attitude error 2.0.
- 0:54However, I am not going to be reviewing this show on my own.
- 1:01We have everyone's favourite future shock sign guy,
- 1:10everyone's favourite first rower.
- 1:14I'm trying to think of anything else.
- 1:18AJ's favourite fan or least favourite fan depending what
- 1:25time of day it is. We have the the legend that is
- 1:32Jack Beno. Good evening, Jack.
- 1:36L0L 0L0 It's been a while since a few of them front row in a
- 1:41while. The budget constraints have
- 1:43really tightened up. I'm think, didn't you sit front
- 1:47row with us a few months ago when we had a spare ticket?
- 1:53I. Don't believe so, I think.
- 1:57Actually, when I say a few months ago, this might have been
- 2:00like February because I think it was at the MMU.
- 2:06Yeah, yeah, no, that was the first time I ever sat 2nd row,
- 2:09but I think I might snuck onto the front row.
- 2:10But don't tell future shock. I'm glad I'm not admitting that
- 2:13publicly. Because I believe the person
- 2:18that was there could not make it so therefore they said pass it
- 2:25on to someone you know, and Jack just happened to be there.
- 2:30I'm always there, an opportunity.
- 2:35You are telling me so. As I say, this is the second
- 2:44Attitude Era show because I'm trying not to make the mistake
- 2:49that Isaiah Quinn made when he kept calling it Attitude Era.
- 2:55And I'm trying in my hardest not to do that because it's very
- 2:58easily done. How would you describe these
- 3:04future Shock Fairfield shows for people that haven't been to 1?
- 3:11They're the silliest thing you're ever going to say, but
- 3:14they're also some of the best. You're not going to see the best
- 3:17in ring wrestling, but you'll have the the best laugh you're
- 3:20going to have in a while. And it's basically a PG version
- 3:23of modern Nomad which is shut down now, which is sad.
- 3:28It is considering from where it kind of started out when they
- 3:35brought it back, it was a very serious show and I think they
- 3:41very quickly thought, you know what, we'll make this a bit of a
- 3:47a variety show and they have done extremely well on these
- 3:54shows they they have yet to miss.
- 3:58That said, I did not attend the last show.
- 4:02The say I think it was saved by the bet off or it's not saved by
- 4:05the bell because that's copyright.
- 4:09It was actually called Saved by the Bell.
- 4:11Was it called Saved by the Bell? Well, there you go.
- 4:13It was a great show, that one. But yeah, they still haven't
- 4:17missed. I can confirm that as I wasn't
- 4:19in attendance. So you can expect a lot of what
- 4:26we like to call wrestling bollocks on this episode because
- 4:31as they say, wrestling bollocks is the best.
- 4:36And having seen AT Rex fighting Shrek the other night, this kind
- 4:42of put you in the mood for what you were going to see the
- 4:45following kind of Sunday. So we will start with the
- 4:52opening contest, which was Brock to who taking on Tony Wright
- 5:01Senior in a reversed counts match.
- 5:10What was your take on this Jack? Well first of all I feel scammed
- 5:14because it was a reverse time match yet they appeared to
- 5:17wrestle normally. I thought they'd be starting
- 5:20with the three count being made and reversing in time.
- 5:23I'm very disappointed they didn't defy physics.
- 5:26I made this exact point to Tony Wright afterwards when I chatted
- 5:30to him. I said I thought this was
- 5:32literally going to be a case of whoever was winning was going to
- 5:37be doing the pin and then they were going to work backwards.
- 5:42But he seemed right. He wasn't in attendance.
- 5:45That was Tony Wright, senior mate.
- 5:46Come on, keep up. Yeah, but I don't you've seen
- 5:49you a junior. But yeah, it very quickly
- 5:58changed from reverse time match to reverse counts because I get
- 6:05the feeling the even messed up all they thought it's not going
- 6:09to work, this will revert to counts instead.
- 6:14Yeah, unfortunately the TARDIS couldn't take us to a planet
- 6:16where gravity didn't exist for most of the moves to be
- 6:19effective. I'll, I'll say the I'll get the
- 6:23only negative things I will say about this match out of the way.
- 6:30The last time we saw Proctor who we saw four different variation
- 6:36or sorry, four different regenerations.
- 6:41We didn't see a single one on this one.
- 6:45I wanted to see more doctors. I thought Tony Wright senior was
- 6:51going to use the Candlestick, you know, I thought he could
- 6:54have. He could have easily bonked him
- 6:56on the head a few times, could have got few people in, would
- 6:59have been lovely. Oh, we should add as well that
- 7:03Tony Wright senior was accompanied by his Butler
- 7:08Jeeves, to which I always feel that if Wright had put a
- 7:18submission hold on, he could have asked Jeeves to try and get
- 7:22the bell. I did actually mention that they
- 7:26should have done this and was told that's a good idea and it
- 7:32might and and between us Jack it might get used down the line if
- 7:37they do it again. Is that a Brothers Graps
- 7:41exclusive? Wow.
- 7:43Possibly. Well, I say that it'll be all
- 7:46forgotten. It's probably more been
- 7:48forgotten since, but I'll just refer to this podcast in the
- 7:52future. About Tony Wright Senior, I'll
- 7:56be making much of an appearance in the Fairfield again.
- 7:59Oh, you, you you never know if if Doctor Proctor's there, he
- 8:04can bring him back more than possible.
- 8:10Oh, this, this was a fun match to be fair.
- 8:14In fairness, I you could say that for every single one of
- 8:19these, it was fun because that's all they are.
- 8:23There was some good wrestling here, but on these shows you
- 8:28tend to bypass the wrestling and just think of what we actually
- 8:33thought of what we actually saw in case of like spots and things
- 8:39like that. So we had Tony Wright Senior to
- 8:47give him his full title, mimicking the famous clip of the
- 8:53boxer who just basically prances around the ring, lays like a
- 9:00punch on his opponent, who stands there completely thinking
- 9:05what on earth is he doing? Which I kind of got a kick out
- 9:11of that did pop me, to be fair. Just thinking I'm struggling to
- 9:21think of a move that prop to date I can only think of what
- 9:25right did. There wasn't a tonne to be
- 9:29honest. He did some.
- 9:30He did some jumping into the corner.
- 9:32Few bodies flashed in the corner.
- 9:34Yeah, it's like the match went on a fair bit as well and
- 9:40literally I'm here now thinking did prop to actually.
- 9:44Do a move. Well, I feel like it was a shame
- 9:50really, because Proctor, who's one of the Fairfield characters
- 9:52that I like best, but it was really highlighting Tony Wright
- 9:56Senior. He got most of the good stuff
- 9:58and was just wrestling like Doctor Proctor.
- 10:01It wasn't. It was a thing of I think
- 10:04Proctor shown that he is a good wrestler and just did straight
- 10:10wrestling. And for Tony Wright Senior, it
- 10:13was almost just him show. It was a showcase match
- 10:20effectively if you will, for Tony Wright Senior because I
- 10:25don't think he gets booked anywhere particularly currently.
- 10:31But yeah, it ended up with Procter getting the win.
- 10:39I can't remember how he how he won either.
- 10:43Well, there was some Cyberman interference.
- 10:46Oh yes. And then Tony right, seeing you
- 10:49went up for a roll up and from that point onwards I don't
- 10:52remember because you must be used the Sonic screwdriver to
- 10:55erase our memories or something. Yeah, because midway through we
- 11:00had the Cyber, the Cyberman come out look more like kind of like
- 11:09a metal flavour flavour if anything with like Marigold
- 11:16gloves. You'll have seen the clip if
- 11:18not, if not, I might add it as a little video.
- 11:22This bit stalks Jeeves, effectively Jeeves, who kind of
- 11:34mimicked the the scene from The Simpsons of where a turtle
- 11:39steals Grandpa Simpson's teeth and Abe Simpson kind of runs
- 11:48slowly, extremely slowly, trying to retrieve his dentures from
- 11:54the toe from the turtle. That was like this, but it ended
- 11:59up with the Cyberman getting in the ring.
- 12:05Basically Cyberman got beat up and much continued Proctor.
- 12:12I think he hit bad medicine but I don't know if there is a
- 12:17Doctor Who version. I don't think probably not,
- 12:24probably not if if there is it will be on the the commentary I
- 12:29feel but Proctor wins. Tony Wright senior picks up a an
- 12:36L in this match and then we move on to match #2 which was a
- 12:44coffin match between Jensen Vespa and his tag team partner
- 12:53Peter Sidor. Jack, your take.
- 13:00I've got the scoop on this one. This was actually Vespa's first
- 13:04ever win in Future Shock. Peter Sador happily given his
- 13:09tag team partner a win. Not so happily though, because
- 13:11he did get low blown and there was a lot of nonsense happening.
- 13:16Of course, a dead man within the coffin, which, you know, they
- 13:20could have ended the match there.
- 13:21Yeah, technical, not really, but.
- 13:24They could. There was room.
- 13:27I mean, personally, the highlight of the match for me
- 13:29was Peter Sados, great dancing. I've got a great clip if you
- 13:35want to, if you want to put it in the video, if it's brilliant
- 13:37twerking. Don't know if it'll get the
- 13:41monetized, but yeah, I mean, it was, it was.
- 13:45I thought it went a little bit long for my liking, but because
- 13:49I mainly because I couldn't see what was happening on the stage.
- 13:53If you couldn't see the stage, you were missing out a little
- 13:55bit. It's this is almost one of my
- 14:01favourite matches of the day. It kind of, it got knocked off
- 14:09on the very next match. But I did enjoy Sidor kind of
- 14:15looking around the crowd, noticed that I was wearing one
- 14:19of his T-shirts, looks at me and goes, that's my face on that
- 14:23shirt. And I went, I know because it's
- 14:26your shirt, Pete. And he's just nodding.
- 14:29Yeah, nothing gets past the door.
- 14:34Nothing. So where can we start with this?
- 14:42So they tried. They didn't.
- 14:44They did not want to fight one another is how we started with
- 14:48this. So they tried everything they
- 14:52could do kind of not to upset the other.
- 14:56So we had rock, paper, scissors. And we think too alike, you see.
- 15:04They they had numerous matches on it.
- 15:09Deadlock every single time. Weirdly, lock the first round,
- 15:14pay for the second round and scissors the third round.
- 15:16You would think it was. It was great.
- 15:20It won't you then. I'm sure they did something
- 15:27between that and the dancing. I'm positive they did like they
- 15:34did three different disciplines so to speak, but I cannot
- 15:38remember what they were. They did two dance offs
- 15:42back-to-back, if that's what you're not thinking of.
- 15:46Because I know they did rock scissor papers.
- 15:49Then they went eventually to a dance off, but with something in
- 15:55between, I'm sure because he felt right.
- 15:58We can't separators doing that. Well I'm trying to think, was it
- 16:03numb if it was numbers? It was I spy.
- 16:08I that was it. I spy and they kind of both got
- 16:12what the other supposedly was thinking.
- 16:16Yeah, there was the idiot in the crowd and then a a beautiful
- 16:21woman. Yeah, which?
- 16:25Which? Which was basically the door
- 16:27flirting with with the the women that were behind.
- 16:34So we we then headed to a dance off.
- 16:38Bearing in mind this has probably gone on about four or
- 16:42five minutes and we haven't seen a punch or anything.
- 16:48It's a coffin match, which was a beautiful, he says with an
- 16:53asterisk often that was put on the staging area.
- 16:59And definitely, definitely not made out of cardboard.
- 17:05Definitely not made out of cardboard at all, even though it
- 17:09was so we had to dance off anyway.
- 17:15Sidor basically twerked effectively yes.
- 17:21He nearly at one point wormed himself out the ring without
- 17:25knowing it because I don't think he realised how close he was to
- 17:32the the ring ropes and I'm sure at one point his feet went out
- 17:37the ropes and could have easily gone outside because it was only
- 17:411/2 worm. Really.
- 17:43He only did 2 wriggles. You didn't get the full, you
- 17:46didn't see the full worm. It's a real game, you know, it's
- 17:51that's that's knocked him down a peg in my book.
- 17:53If you can't do the full Worm, are you a real wrestler?
- 17:56I don't know. Because normally you can.
- 18:00You can probably get 3 or 4 good wriggles.
- 18:05I mean, I'm not a break dancer so I can't promise this, but he
- 18:10was at least about 45% or he had about 40% of the ring.
- 18:19So he didn't have half the ring. But yeah, that's, I mean, if if
- 18:25I want to talk about dancing, I'll go on strictly.
- 18:28But other than that, Vespa basically did his usual dancing
- 18:36because of course it was to the step song 5678, which I was
- 18:45pointed out on the second playing of why they were playing
- 18:49it because it's Vespers thing of what he does best.
- 18:55He dances to 5678. Did not even think about that
- 19:02until I was mentioned. So that was still a tie.
- 19:08And then they did the second or the rerun of it, and then we
- 19:13finally saw a wrestling move. We saw a super kick from Vespa
- 19:20to Sidor. Like Michael to Jeanette,
- 19:24ultimate betrayal. Lit literally what I said at the
- 19:27time. I think the clip I have is
- 19:33literally me saying he's just John Michaels them and the clip
- 19:40cuts off as I say Shawn Michaels.
- 19:45If it's still if it's still on Instagram, you'll see it.
- 19:49But then Vespa just kind of tries to beat up Sidor, which he
- 19:54kind of does. Things move to the stage area
- 20:00and we have Vespa and Sidor getting to be the coffin, not
- 20:07the casket is Vespa constantly said Which?
- 20:10Was a little bit of a bug there, because there's a difference.
- 20:15The spelling is one of them. Different.
- 20:22Yeah, so they opened it up and had a scream because they found
- 20:26a dead body in there and was the body of the late, great Brian
- 20:35Strong. God rest his Son.
- 20:40Is it? Is it quite gone too soon?
- 20:42Yeah, taken far too soon for us, but it's the only coffin I've
- 20:48ever seen with a pillow in it. I mean, at least it was comfy.
- 20:52He's been in there 24 years, so. I was going to say because they
- 20:59threw away his bottle of water had been placed in there.
- 21:03So I did like the kind of threw away and said, why has he got
- 21:06this? He can almost imagine being
- 21:10leave the bottle in the coffin. But then it just it just got
- 21:19silly at this point if if it wasn't silly already with these
- 21:22two. So obviously no one could win
- 21:26because there was a dead body in the coffin.
- 21:30So they had to lift him out to put their opponent in.
- 21:36But you try moving a dead body. Not that I'd particularly know,
- 21:43but it fell on Vespa at one point and they couldn't move it
- 21:50and ended up in the end with Vespa low blowing to door and
- 21:59the coffin door shutting. However, we had a swerve
- 22:10Strickland scenario to this where Vespa was in the coffin
- 22:20and the door had shut and they did not count it even though it
- 22:26shot for about half a second. It wasn't sealed.
- 22:31It was sealed as much as the door was in there.
- 22:35And I will argue that point because even even Lucy's sevens
- 22:41and I, Isaiah Quinn, started to go with a winner and then they
- 22:48very quickly started, right. No, no, no, no, no, it's still
- 22:51still ongoing. No, no, it's a door, one that.
- 22:57So are you officially saying in this moment, Future Shot
- 23:00Wrestling has a conspiracy against?
- 23:02Peter said. So door was screwed.
- 23:06That's what I'm saying. I'm starting it.
- 23:08Now the door brings the door. What's the footage?
- 23:13That's all I'm going to say until the kind of like what's
- 23:19what's the word? I'm thinking of pixelate it out
- 23:21so you don't actually see, but that's what happened.
- 23:24That would be when we know there's a conspiracy.
- 23:27Yeah, Vespa wins anyhow. When when we had weekend at
- 23:37Brian's and they had sat him on a chair, gave him some
- 23:40sunglasses and got him AI believe it was a martini.
- 23:44It was a beverage of some kind from the bar.
- 23:48Oh, it was water. Which?
- 23:49But no, no no, it was a water like substance.
- 23:54But I. Was going to say piss but.
- 23:59I mean, the water bottle was in there.
- 24:01It could have been. If.
- 24:03He needed if he happened to be in there and needed a place in
- 24:06the last 27 years or 24 years. Sorry, died 1991.
- 24:11Real tragedy. Well, if it wasn't be like
- 24:15Austin Powers really just constantly go on and on and on
- 24:18and on. So if he was alive, you wouldn't
- 24:23want to be in that coffin if he has kind of urinated within that
- 24:27period of time. You would think.
- 24:32But as as you said, they they took a selfie because what else
- 24:37do you do with a dead body? I love the fact someone said
- 24:42check him, check his pulse. Why would you check a pulse when
- 24:50there was a off in there? Seriously.
- 24:55But yeah, it was. I seriously want him to do a
- 24:59little spoof documentary weekend at Brian's with them too.
- 25:04It would work so well. That's what I want.
- 25:10Definitely want that. The branch arc is the greatest
- 25:14thing that's ever happened from Fairfield.
- 25:16It's the only bit of continuity. Oh.
- 25:19It's beautiful. It's it's the it's the best
- 25:21thing going. I'm I'm almost wondering how
- 25:29they're going to fit him in. Horrible.
- 25:31Histories in January I'm revealed how he died stupid
- 25:38deaths. Victims Gauntlet map of Tony
- 25:42Wright dressed as death and he kills a bunch of people in
- 25:44stupid ways. Bang, there's there's your
- 25:47bucket idea if you cannot count that one.
- 25:50To be fair, I have a booking ID for Horrible Histories which I
- 25:54may tell you off off air because it would be perfect.
- 25:59I've told 3 people and they've all gone.
- 26:02Yes that has to happen. But that was match #2 Vespa
- 26:09getting the victory. Then we moved to the main event
- 26:14of the first half, which was I didn't actually hear this being
- 26:20said, was for the Future Shot Women's title.
- 26:25Because you it was never said they've.
- 26:27Never said that. Holly Barlow classed as a
- 26:30defence post match with heel. Would be a great way to to get
- 26:36the fans against you. But Holly Barlow's lovable so
- 26:38it's all right. Everybody, everybody likes and
- 26:41so it's fine. It's it's a thing of I think
- 26:44Holly's trying to be a heel when she's not meant to be.
- 26:50Saying it's a defence. Something in Holly you're not
- 26:54heal in future shock. Why are you claiming it's a
- 26:58defence? It's not a defence.
- 27:01The belt was never held up awkwardly in the middle of the
- 27:04ring. Yeah, we never saw that at all.
- 27:09But this was a 2 count match as it has been described.
- 27:15All the actual thing was all counts were up to two, be that
- 27:23the referees count, a count out on the floor or a pinfall all
- 27:32went up to two. I'll let you a first crack at
- 27:39this. I mean, it was it was match of
- 27:41the night by. By an absolute distance.
- 27:45I don't think you're going to get close to it again at
- 27:47Fairfield, to be honest. It's probably because it was
- 27:50real wrestling for some of us as well.
- 27:53They didn't. There was no, no silly bollocks
- 27:55for the vote. There was a bit of, you know,
- 27:58silly bollocks in the way that they reacted to the to the two
- 28:01counts, but it was actually just a wrestling match.
- 28:04But they were genuine, kind of like grievances with why is it a
- 28:092 count match? Why?
- 28:11Why we can, I mean not change the stipulation.
- 28:16And it did take him a few minutes to get their heads
- 28:19around what the actual rules were.
- 28:22Harley seemed very confused with what was was going on.
- 28:27Holly equally not too sure what the actual process of this was
- 28:35until Holly went to get the roll up on Harley for the one count.
- 28:43And then I think it very quickly dawned on both of ah, right, so
- 28:48they have to kick out at 1:00. And this is this is just
- 28:55basically, I'll say this forum. It was great cardio work.
- 29:01Yeah, I mean, the boat looks exhausted after the.
- 29:07Because it was Holly's, Holly used a great heel excuse, I have
- 29:12to say, and at one point where she says referee, this isn't
- 29:16fair talk. Talking to Liam, who equally
- 29:21looked shattered after this match, it has to be said where
- 29:25Holly says this match is unfair against me because she's a super
- 29:31athlete and I'm not. She has a point.
- 29:38Yeah, I mean, yeah, but that doesn't A super athlete is not
- 29:41about endurance. It's a third class, 3rd left
- 29:45long of a match. You'd assume it didn't end up
- 29:48being, but it. Because you there was the
- 29:54genuine is too much to talk about in this match.
- 30:00There was put it. This was that there were a shit
- 30:03load of 121 counts. Yeah.
- 30:07Yeah. There falls in a future match
- 30:10ever seen, most likely. You will never see more 1 counts
- 30:15in your life, especially in a 2 count match.
- 30:20Obviously you're going to see a lot of 1 counts in a free count
- 30:22match. Not many, I mean they usually
- 30:27they usually relax and get that to near fall 2 count kick out in
- 30:31a regular match. And there was at one point Liam
- 30:38did nearly count the 2. At one point he very slowly had
- 30:44to stop himself counting the the second ball because he I mean,
- 30:54there was so much that the back and forth of 11111 and there was
- 31:03a one point. I think he's going to hit 2
- 31:05accidentally if he didn't, which is which, which was helpful.
- 31:14Everyone played their role extremely well in this.
- 31:20Liam was happy because he basically counted this as his
- 31:24DDT audition tape as he told me. Shout out Liam if you're
- 31:32listening to this. You did well mate, I'll say that
- 31:36for you. Yeah, better than most people
- 31:39could. Even Greenwood would have
- 31:41probably struggled, I can't lie. Yeah.
- 31:46But this was, again, this was a whole lot of fun.
- 31:49Ali pops a couple of times due to things that Holly was saying,
- 31:56one, talking about that this is 2025.
- 32:00We have a female Doctor Who now. I have no idea exactly what she
- 32:06was talking about at that point. She random.
- 32:10Stuff you see, Rose is now the Doctor, so she could have played
- 32:16Doctor Who and not been in this match.
- 32:17It's a simple thing. Come on, I'm a massive Doctor
- 32:21nerd, so you can't be you can't be not knowing who the Doctor
- 32:24is, but. It was just the whole thing of
- 32:29Hollywood just say random stuff. I think what what are you
- 32:36talking about Holly and I've been positive issues trying to
- 32:38make Harley like crack and every single time it worked.
- 32:45Harley having to stop herself from laughing half the time to
- 32:50which I think it was the only way.
- 32:53You may have possibly outpaced Harley in this in a like an
- 32:59endurance match of blowing her up from laughing too much is
- 33:05pretty much how you would have won this.
- 33:08But she did anyway I think. I think this was a roll up
- 33:13victory. Wow, this was a roll up.
- 33:15Although she did kick out of Harley's finisher at one which
- 33:18was quite impressive and I don't know if I don't know if she if
- 33:22that was intended or if there was meant to be a bit of a roll
- 33:26out of the ring or we will never be sure.
- 33:30I mean, we did see Holly kick out of the OR was it Splash
- 33:37Mountain on Wednesday night at Atomic.
- 33:39So it's almost like Holly currently has gained like the
- 33:46old smackdown of press L1 to kick out of a finisher.
- 33:50Yeah, she's got. That brilliancy.
- 33:54So she's, she's got the, I can't think what the word is.
- 34:03Oh, what's the word I'm thinking of?
- 34:06Oh, I can't think. I think you just said it a
- 34:08second ago. What resiliency?
- 34:11That's the word resilience, dear.
- 34:14It's been a long night, so Holly wins.
- 34:20Photos during the break was with Harley Hudson, also for a brief
- 34:27time was with Brian Strong who I saw being helped into the ring.
- 34:36I then went for a piss and when I came back about two minutes
- 34:38later he disappeared the. Photo with with TNA superstar
- 34:44Holly Hudson. You know, we rolled him in.
- 34:47It's what it's what Bryant could have wanted for his father.
- 34:50That's how he wanted to go. You know, I you know, I don't
- 34:54like the thing about all strong fingers.
- 34:58You've got brake there. Sorry.
- 35:00You've got Brian there who wrestles, his son wrestles and
- 35:06you never see brake at these. Shows you think he's not
- 35:12supporting his dad at all. Although he wasn't born in some
- 35:15of the eras, he might have been in the crowd for some of the
- 35:19eras, you know, as a little boy. I mean, he did.
- 35:22Say on one of the shows he had a little lad, which I think would
- 35:27have been the 70s but I don't think it would have been.
- 35:33I think he got that wrong. I think Brian was a bit confused
- 35:37because I think it was more 80s when Brian was was born or
- 35:42Bright was born possibly. Brian was born like mid 40s I
- 35:48think. Yeah, but at the same time, I
- 35:52mean, I'm, I'm, I can't mince me worth it.
- 35:57Brian's dead. Come on, Brake.
- 36:00I don't know. If anything, if you fell out
- 36:03with your dad or whatever, you should have been there.
- 36:06Just whether you, I mean, also, did you not know they've dug up
- 36:12your dad? That's wrong for a teacher shock
- 36:16show. You'd think you'd have someone
- 36:19to monitor. That, yeah.
- 36:24If my son ever, ever acted like that, you know I'd be killing
- 36:28him from beyond the grave. To be honest, I've been coming
- 36:31back to life to be beaten up style.
- 36:36I mean, it's it's not so much big show, big boss man kind of
- 36:41steal the coffin. But you know, go on Bright.
- 36:48What's a clean coffin though? I will say that.
- 36:51Oh yeah, very. Not even wasn't even buried.
- 36:55That's how good it was. We'll move on very quickly
- 36:59because this is getting slightly awkward now.
- 37:03We then had a Loser gets deleted Fatal four way match with Lily
- 37:12Summer who very nicely hit me in the head with a Flamingo.
- 37:20Nay J not no, no J not that Nay Ji thought it was the one that
- 37:29fell down the stairs at atomic, but obviously this is a
- 37:32different Nay J. No, J, this one's the DJI think.
- 37:37Yeah, it's always they've put nay J verse.
- 37:43Oh yeah, it was introduced by three.
- 37:45One of them, Princess Pele, the the the prettier of the Pele
- 37:53family and Danny Beckham. Go on, Jack, I'll let you start
- 38:03with this. Well, it was devastating.
- 38:06The match is devastating. I'm I almost shed real tears
- 38:10over the finish to this match. But in a way it's also a win
- 38:16because AJ still has to be golden, the DJ every 5 minutes,
- 38:19so you know it's one of them. Everyone's a winner.
- 38:26So we started off with people unsure of how to win and then it
- 38:34was whoever got pinned would lose or get deleted completely.
- 38:42And the only person that did not want to be deleted was Danny
- 38:45Beckham. Lily Summer.
- 38:53I'm trying to think in Ordina, Lily Summer went out bring and
- 38:58asked for a count out and referee Reese said no.
- 39:03It's pinfalls only. Oh, there's.
- 39:05No count out in a fall way. Yeah, then Princess Pele went
- 39:10over the top rope and looked very happy with themselves and
- 39:13went I've been eliminated and he went.
- 39:17No pinfalls. Nay, J then.
- 39:22In a DJ. Sorry, they put themselves in a
- 39:28self submission, trapping their foot in their shirt and tapping
- 39:34out. To which Reese just said no,
- 39:40it's pinfalls. That was when we made the
- 39:43announcement. It was pinfalls only after Nay J
- 39:45tapped out. Yeah, and then then kind of like
- 39:53everyone seemed to hit a move and pull their opponent on top
- 39:58of them. Ace.
- 40:03It was a chaotic match. The only person that seemed very
- 40:09happy to pin everyone was Danny Beckham.
- 40:15To which he went to pin the nature verse and Princess Pele
- 40:23and started saying it's coming home.
- 40:27That was that was great bet so. It's literally someone very
- 40:31quickly broke up the count and then we actually got some
- 40:36wrestling with people hitting moves and equally trying to pull
- 40:43the opponent. They've knocked silly for a few
- 40:47seconds on top of them desperately trying to get pinned
- 40:52and always being broken up. We then had a free kick during
- 40:59this bout where it's it was the best wall I've seen for some
- 41:06time for a free kick. I come in defence, they're not,
- 41:10not. It wasn't 10 yards back.
- 41:13That's the only kind of like disgruntlement I have on this.
- 41:16I wanted grease to pull out like a white, like a white spray to
- 41:22just like mark him back. But we didn't get that.
- 41:25Come on, magic spray cost that much?
- 41:27Yeah, that's true. So we had Danny Beckham lining
- 41:32up to take a free kick. Ended up booting Lily somewhere
- 41:38between the legs and him turning around just going oh sorry I
- 41:43forgot she's a girl. We then moved next to Princess
- 41:49Pele. I'm hoping to God that Danny
- 41:56Beckham was not wearing Predator boots, because if you've ever
- 42:01been kicked in the balls by Predator boots, especially in
- 42:05the 90s, you would know they hurt like elves.
- 42:10There's a high chance that he was getting shot and scream
- 42:15left. But the the foot went between
- 42:20the the legs of Princess Pele and we had some retching, some
- 42:28coughing. I think it was a very accurate
- 42:35free kick. I think we can surmise that.
- 42:41I mean you could say we didn't see Naj getting kicked.
- 42:47I mean, you could have done that to the the other one you.
- 42:50Felt left out. Oh yeah, I didn't even think
- 42:53about that. He got away with one there.
- 42:58I won't be forgetting that that's that's being added to
- 43:01that list right now. So what did we have then?
- 43:09I'm trying to think if there's any other memorable bits of this
- 43:14match but I think. The I don't know what she calls
- 43:18it, but skull crushing finale and then pinning someone and
- 43:21then that being broken up into a door and another finisher was
- 43:25quite impressed. I'm trying to I do know.
- 43:29What it's called, Oh no, it's completely.
- 43:38I know what the other finisher is.
- 43:40That's the cold shoulder. I just can't remember what the
- 43:44other one is because I've actually been teaching people
- 43:48what the name of certain people's finishes are, much like
- 43:54Troy Ryan's F5, and I've told them it's called Fall of Troy.
- 43:59I've. Just learned something.
- 44:03Wow. You learn something every day.
- 44:06The Brothers Grubs podcast. Greatest trivia podcast of the
- 44:10century. So I'm, I'm actually helping
- 44:14people out with like the moves of finishes for people always
- 44:20learning. I always feel in the end though,
- 44:24it's all Lily pinning Danny Beckham.
- 44:29No other way. Oh wait, you know.
- 44:32No, not silly. I thought she got pinned but I
- 44:36forgot the match that for a second there I was.
- 44:40Going to say I actually have the result here.
- 44:44And I know you were there, Jack. You were there.
- 44:50So Beckham. Beckham got pinned and then we
- 44:54had easily one of the most saddest things on a show.
- 45:01Everyone seemed to completely leave the ringside other than
- 45:06Danny Beckham who pulled off his captain's armband, left it in
- 45:12the middle of the ring. All the lights went red as he
- 45:18got deleted. Especially on the screen we saw
- 45:22the name Danny Beckham being deleted.
- 45:27He had a good run for two shows. He'll forever be the captain in
- 45:32our hearts. Oh, captain, My captain.
- 45:38Now it was a more complicating loss than when we when Maradona
- 45:41handballed, it passed us. Unless he's Scottish and then it
- 45:45was one of the best things you've ever seen.
- 45:50I'll say the one thing I wish we had got and Ira, this may have
- 45:56happened on the other show, so you can tell me if I'm wrong
- 45:58here. I wanted Beckham to kick out
- 46:02with his foot to draw a pin. That's what I.
- 46:07Wanted that would have been good We did get the show, but that
- 46:12was that was the debut of the T Rex in wrestling.
- 46:16Lots of people think Atomic did it first but future shock they
- 46:20were the ones who had the T Rex first.
- 46:22Possibly, unless stomach have had it before.
- 46:24I. Think I've seen AT Rex elsewhere
- 46:27I think. I think I'm I could be wrong so
- 46:31no one messaged me because I'm not going to read it, but I'm
- 46:34sure I've seen someone dressed as AT Rex in a deathmatch show.
- 46:43I would like to see that footage if it's.
- 46:45There, I'm sure I've seen it on like randomly had someone, well,
- 46:52I don't think they were like the main person, but I'm sure I've
- 46:54seen AT Rex on the deathmatch show briefly.
- 46:58Again, if you're going to message and say it's never
- 47:03happened, I'm not going to read it, so you're wasting your own
- 47:09time. We then move to match #5 mask
- 47:18versus mask. Eventually we got mask versus
- 47:23mask because it was the Horde in Gorgon and Solomon taking on
- 47:29Alpha Jim in Steven Cross and Troy Ryan.
- 47:34The stipulation then came up of the loser must unmask and
- 47:41obviously Cross and Ryan do not wear masks.
- 47:45So it was it was a pointless day for them turning up really
- 47:52because they don't they don't wear masks.
- 47:54So what was the point? However, luckily they said they
- 48:02bumped into two lads in the back who were were Mexican wrestlers
- 48:09and were basically just floating around in the back and they said
- 48:13they will go and get them. I mean, if you take away like
- 48:20what we heard over the microphone of Troy Ryan telling
- 48:25Stephen Cross to put a mask on and Steven Cross not wanting to
- 48:29do it and saying he couldn't see out of the mask, I mean, this is
- 48:34all kind of coincidental really. It's all coincidental.
- 48:41But we did get a a new tag team in Future Shot Wrestling.
- 48:48That was Jim Nacio Alpha, that being El Grande can can.
- 49:00I can't read my own writing, which isn't a good thing.
- 49:04Grande Cane. That's it.
- 49:06And Escobar. Cross, Esteban, Cross.
- 49:10Come on, go put. I've got to put my GCSE in
- 49:13Spanish to go to you Sir. I did German so so we had them
- 49:20come out, you know, they had a striking look.
- 49:26They look very similar to Cross and Ryan, I thought.
- 49:30Even borrowed Troy Ryan's gear. Funnily enough, exactly like the
- 49:34the meat waggon gear is good. Because you know how you know
- 49:38how we know it wasn't them too? Because when we came out it was
- 49:44Ryan and Cross and then when they went to the back and these
- 49:48two of the lads came out, it was Cross on the left and Ryan on
- 49:52the right. Yeah.
- 49:55Except it was El Gordo Cardo and Thingy instead.
- 50:00Yeah, the very similar builds, they must be on the same kind of
- 50:08programme that them two must be on.
- 50:10Yeah, they're all part of the Alpha Gym, but they're part of
- 50:14the Spanish branch. And and as Troy Ryan is posted,
- 50:18they were sampling a burrito or a Taco and he was staying with
- 50:23him before he flew back home. So which is nice of Ryan to kind
- 50:29of take him in temporarily before he flies back home.
- 50:34Yeah, one of the kindest men alive.
- 50:35Guy letting him borrow his gay is lightness.
- 50:38Letting. Him, you know, borrow his home.
- 50:42Yeah, great. Probably using his gym
- 50:46membership as well arguably. But yes, this was a match.
- 50:58What was your take on this one? Well, to be honest, I didn't see
- 51:02much of it in the ring because the second they went to the
- 51:04outside, I was, I was focused on that.
- 51:06And then I just heard 123, although we did almost get a 619
- 51:11which was fun. So El Grande went to do a 619.
- 51:17Unfortunately, Solomon ruined everyone's fun by stopping it.
- 51:25However, though we did get a 619 in the end with Senor Cross
- 51:34going to do a 619 begrudgingly because El Grande wanted Senor
- 51:43Cross to do it and he did not want to.
- 51:48He he what? He was going C and Senior Cross
- 51:52is going no and everyone was going K.
- 51:59So we got out of 10. What would if you saw it, what
- 52:09would you rate the 619 that we saw?
- 52:13I'd struggle. To give it more than a three,
- 52:15Quite frankly, it was a six. It was.
- 52:17It wasn't. There was no 19.
- 52:20You know what, for effort, I will give it a six.
- 52:29They did everything, everything was right.
- 52:31The the preparation, the he did kick him in the head and he did
- 52:40swirl round the rope. It's, I mean, if, if I was to
- 52:46ever take up pole dancing, that would have been how I would have
- 52:52twirled around the pole the way that he kind of hit the 619.
- 52:58So on that basis, I'm giving him a six.
- 53:02I'm even I'm even release it to a 6 1/2.
- 53:07A for effort, D minus for execution.
- 53:11You know it's one of them. OK, we'll go with that.
- 53:16So we unfortunately the horde win because we can't have nice
- 53:20things in future shock. And then obviously the
- 53:25stipulation being the the loser has to unmask.
- 53:33I was genuinely shocked to see who was under that mask.
- 53:39Utterly shocked. I.
- 53:42Mean, yeah. I mean.
- 53:45They were already gone. Troy Ryan and Stephen Cross were
- 53:47already gone in our. Mind.
- 53:49And then they RIP the mask off and to the shock of everyone in
- 53:55that venue, it turned out to be Troy Ryan.
- 53:59I mean you would not have thought that during the match
- 54:02the high flying aerial abilities from El Grande was not something
- 54:09you would normally see from Troy Ryan.
- 54:12No, no. And I mean, it was executed so
- 54:14perfectly that I had No Fear for Troy Ryan when he was jumping on
- 54:17the ropes and stuff. It's.
- 54:20Basically, the future shocks Hitch, his hero.
- 54:23That's what he was. Great.
- 54:25Yeah that's even Proff didn't care either.
- 54:29He just Esteban just sort of tossed his mask.
- 54:31He didn't. Fun which?
- 54:34Was arguably the funniest thing of anything in that match.
- 54:39Everything that was in that match was good, but after Ryan
- 54:44is de masked and shouting the shame the shame while he covers
- 54:49his face cross on the other side of the ring just pulls the mask
- 54:52off, throws it and just goes have the mask.
- 54:56I don't care. It was the most it was delivered
- 54:59in the most deadpan way. It was hilarious.
- 55:03Now I've spoken to my sources at the Mexican Wrestling Federation
- 55:07and the match was never officially sanctioned.
- 55:10So Inalio Alpha can come back as Stephen will be happy to know
- 55:14Ole. See, see see see.
- 55:18See. See, See, see, see, see.
- 55:24So that was your penultimate match of the show.
- 55:29We now come to the main event of the afternoon, which was Joey
- 55:37Travolta taking on Slam Johnson in a Body Slam match.
- 55:50I think we kind of knew where this was going to go.
- 55:54I did not. OK, we did.
- 55:58We predicted what would happen and it did.
- 56:04Actually, no, I tell a lie. We predicted what would happen
- 56:07after. We didn't predict correctly who
- 56:11was going to win. We we thought that Joey Travolta
- 56:16would possibly wait till Slam got up on the top turn buckle
- 56:22and then just slam him off the turnbuckle to win because they
- 56:28couldn't have lifted him so half.
- 56:33A point yeah, I mean the match certainly struggled from the
- 56:37fact that Slam Johnson main thing is slamming people and he
- 56:40couldn't really do it. He wasn't allowed to for for the
- 56:44most part. But I do have a major gripe with
- 56:47this match because it has ruined the future shock Fairfield
- 56:53protective bubble bubble. We now know that they they all
- 56:58exist, and Joey Travolta, on Joey Hayes's behalf, has given
- 57:02Declan McCarthy a title match. Joey Hayes hasn't approved of
- 57:05this yet. True.
- 57:09Sure, I never thought of that. I just really don't like that My
- 57:14Beautiful Fairfield show has been sort of poisoned by current
- 57:20ongoing storylines. It's not allowed but.
- 57:25I mean, the match itself, Joey tried everything, Travoltering
- 57:33up or travoltering up, I should say.
- 57:38So which I was disappointed with the crowd for one part of it.
- 57:43After he's kind of travoltering up and he signals and points at
- 57:51Slam and gyrates his hips towards him every time he did a
- 57:59punch, I'm expecting the crowd to just go.
- 58:05No one, only me was making that noise during it.
- 58:11Bastard. Other than that though, I did.
- 58:17Also, I don't know if you you heard Slam telling Joey to F
- 58:22off. I actually did, so that's quite.
- 58:31When so when Joey tells him to stop and son says something as
- 58:39he goes to do the the kick slam just goes fuck off gives him a
- 58:45kick. I heard that, Bailey.
- 58:49Plum Johnson did that. He'll be having him.
- 58:52Future Shock is a family friendly show.
- 58:55OK. I heard the off.
- 58:59I didn't hear the first part, so he must have said it.
- 59:02I think thankfully for him, I think it was the case of Joey
- 59:07was shouting as he said it. So he muffled things.
- 59:14But then of course, we had Deb McCarthy.
- 59:20This is what I didn't understand from this.
- 59:22He's come through all the wrestlers on the balcony.
- 59:26There's another bit. He's come through the wrestling
- 59:33or the wrestlers path. He then tries to walk down the
- 59:36stairs where he is met by Slam Johnson who beat up most of the
- 59:44performance. Santa crew until he was then
- 59:48kind of set upon like a pack of dogs, I.
- 59:53Remember it very differently. He got battered 5 on one.
- 59:56Just. Punches being thrown, poor guy.
- 59:59If well after he he was beating them up, they very quickly
- 1:00:03turned on him, which then led to McAfee having his youthful band
- 1:00:13of men surrounding the ring. Joey saying you don't want any
- 1:00:18of this. Seriously, you don't want any of
- 1:00:20this. They then attack Joey.
- 1:00:26Joey then is about to be OK, we put it about to be beat up by
- 1:00:36death with his arms being held out at the side of him so he
- 1:00:40can't really move. He then is about to be power
- 1:00:45bombed or put in that position. Joey does not allow this to
- 1:00:51happen. Backdrops.
- 1:00:53McCarthy hits the the Oprah style JK OS because it was one
- 1:01:01for you. You get a JKO, you get a JKO,
- 1:01:05everyone gets a JKO. Then Greg gets the microphone.
- 1:01:14Challenges Dec McCarthy to a title match for the December 7th
- 1:01:20show. It did have to be reminded when
- 1:01:22the date was, which was quite good.
- 1:01:28What has he actually accepted the the match sold deck?
- 1:01:35Because I never actually saw him go Yes.
- 1:01:38Well, Declan, yeah, he has officially accepted it on
- 1:01:42Twitter, I believe, but. Because.
- 1:01:45He never actually. Yeah, because he never actually
- 1:01:48said yes to. I will accept your challenge to
- 1:01:55which the the point I've made and I kind of feel a bit bad for
- 1:02:03Sam or Samuel that we know because he made a point that
- 1:02:10I've brought up previously as he kind of got ripped.
- 1:02:16He kind of got ripped into by McCarthy.
- 1:02:21So I, I made the point of, of all the titles in future Shock,
- 1:02:29the one that has not seemingly been given kind of the top
- 1:02:36billing or being seen as the the standout title, which is
- 1:02:45normally you're normally the main championship on your
- 1:02:48promotion. And I don't feel the the men's
- 1:02:55championship has been like that arguably since Blazer had it.
- 1:03:01In my opinion, no, definitely. Agree.
- 1:03:05Riley had it. Yeah, Riley had it for a short
- 1:03:08time, but again, it didn't get too far to do much with it.
- 1:03:15He made a couple of shows, which Jerry Hayes has done, but he
- 1:03:19actually had announced title matches months in advance, which
- 1:03:23I don't think we've seen of Jerry Hayes yet aside from the
- 1:03:26Danny Hope match. But it's the, if you look at the
- 1:03:30range we've had, which has been two, you've had Riley, who
- 1:03:35hasn't really had a feud for the title.
- 1:03:43He just kind of took on challenges, which is the same as
- 1:03:46Joey. The only one I can think of was
- 1:03:49Liam Slater at I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here back in
- 1:03:56December last year and then later on to Joey.
- 1:04:04And the only, the only real kind of feud that Joey's had with it
- 1:04:13was Danny Hope. Yeah.
- 1:04:17Out of all all of them have been open challenges.
- 1:04:20The only title defence which I think the went wrong with, and
- 1:04:29this is me fantasy Buckingham was and I think they messed up a
- 1:04:35bit on this was when Bryke Strong won Lotto Thunder.
- 1:04:42He was the biggest heel you had at that time.
- 1:04:48He was killing everyone. He came into the new year as
- 1:04:53like one of the the main killers of future shock.
- 1:04:57He wins a tournament and then literally the second of the
- 1:05:03afternoon evening show, he then takes on Joey for the title and
- 1:05:12they have had previous going back prior to the 20th
- 1:05:18anniversary show last year where he had a tattoos.
- 1:05:23So you could have built that up a bit and had it further down
- 1:05:27the line, which I think would have been a really good feud for
- 1:05:32both people. We did not get that and ever
- 1:05:37since then it's been open challenge and in truth, there's
- 1:05:43been no peril for the champion. No, not a bit.
- 1:05:49Really we've we've had people hoping it could be this person
- 1:05:54or that person and in, in fairness, of all the matches
- 1:06:00he's had as champion, the 2 that have been really kind of
- 1:06:06challenging has been strong at the start of the year and hope
- 1:06:14and that is effectively it. Dynamite lead us and we had a
- 1:06:19cheeky little run, yeah, but in terms of thinking he's going to
- 1:06:25lose the title, we've not come close but.
- 1:06:29This is the first time, this is the first real time now where
- 1:06:34you think, oh, is he going to retain it?
- 1:06:37Is he going to lose it? Which this should have happened
- 1:06:42way sooner in my opinion, because you compare it to the
- 1:06:47women's title, almost all the matches.
- 1:06:52You keep thinking, oh, right, is Holly going to win it?
- 1:06:59Is Lucy going to win? Is Lily going to win?
- 1:07:04It's it's always compared to last year.
- 1:07:08I'll say this, the women's title last year for a fair bit of it
- 1:07:18was the same I'd say, as the men's of there didn't seem to be
- 1:07:23any real challenges really. We've flipped the titles now,
- 1:07:29yeah. So up until Blazer, Blazer lost
- 1:07:35it at the 20th anniversary, it's since then it's been the women's
- 1:07:41title has been one of the top titles and the Adrenaline title
- 1:07:47for me has been probably the best.
- 1:07:54How can I put it, not promoted, but the best long, long running
- 1:08:00story, even going back is when you had Rivera, Ridgeway,
- 1:08:05Dawson, you had them free fighting for the title.
- 1:08:11Then you had Ridgeway against Rivera, Rivera against Dawson,
- 1:08:17Dawson against Ridgeway. You had kind of like three men
- 1:08:21for the title. Then you had Teddy Ray win the
- 1:08:25title off Ridgeway. Then you had Olbermann come into
- 1:08:31the picture. And from Olbermann you've then
- 1:08:35had Tony Wright in the picture. So you've had, you've always had
- 1:08:40like an ongoing storyline for the Adrenaline title.
- 1:08:44And I've always felt that's been the top title and how it's been
- 1:08:49defended, promoted. It almost feels like that's the
- 1:08:55real men's championship. Everything's gone on about it.
- 1:09:00I mean, yeah, the, the moment that you start having #1
- 1:09:03contendership matches for a title that isn't your world
- 1:09:06title and not having #1 contendership matches for a
- 1:09:09title that is your world title. And that's when you start to
- 1:09:12notice that maybe your world title isn't the main title
- 1:09:15anymore kind of thing. Every challenger for the
- 1:09:18adrenaline titles earn it, have to fight for it.
- 1:09:21And every title, every challenger for the men's title
- 1:09:23is have to queue a song up. And even the women's, even the
- 1:09:28women's title, there's been challenges, there's been #1
- 1:09:32contenderships and the men's titles effectively just been
- 1:09:37right. I'll fight, I'll fight whoever
- 1:09:39turns up on the day, which I think if you look at any other
- 1:09:44promotion you would not get that for your men's heavyweight top
- 1:09:52title. So I'm interested to see what
- 1:09:58happened. This is the first time I've
- 1:10:00actually been excited for the the men's championship since the
- 1:10:05anniversary show last year, which is quite bad in truth.
- 1:10:12It's. Cool.
- 1:10:14They've hit on other fronts, though.
- 1:10:15If it was a, if we've had a stinker year everywhere, that'd
- 1:10:19be extra poor. But they've had they've had
- 1:10:23moments elsewhere, so it's excusable.
- 1:10:26But yeah, the world title shouldn't shouldn't be defended
- 1:10:29in that way. I.
- 1:10:31Mean everything. Every other title, even the tag
- 1:10:34titles, every single. The tag, the women's and the
- 1:10:39adrenaline have been the best matches and the most exciting on
- 1:10:45the card and the men's title has pretty much fallen flat since
- 1:10:53really, as I said, the anniversary show last year.
- 1:10:57So if they can somehow just get the men's started up to be on a
- 1:11:05par with the other three titles, then the cooking really.
- 1:11:12Yeah, we've got a really easy layup here with Declan winning
- 1:11:17the title, saying no more free handouts, you're going to learn
- 1:11:20your stock, You can have him fight a gauntlet match against
- 1:11:23the PC members, you can have a tournament, you know, the future
- 1:11:26trophy tournaments coming up making.
- 1:11:29I feel like he's going to bring prestige back to the belt
- 1:11:31because there's no way Joey's walks out as champion unless
- 1:11:34Ridgeway comes back and costs him, which would be.
- 1:11:38I'd love Chris Ridgeway, but if I see him in the building, I
- 1:11:41might be having to take him out myself.
- 1:11:43I can't allow it to happen. I'm so clipping that.
- 1:11:49I want Northwest Strong Bridgeway.
- 1:11:53Please, please don't hurt me but.
- 1:11:57Anyone that knows me, I have been quite vocal the last year
- 1:12:02on good and bad things with Future Shock and the thing that
- 1:12:07has I've hated the most has been how the men's title has been.
- 1:12:12But that said, since the the anniversary show this year at
- 1:12:19least, I felt since last year's 20th anniversary, it was very
- 1:12:25much a lull after it heading into that 20th anniversary show
- 1:12:31was every the booking for everything was red hot and then
- 1:12:38they just seem to have lost the way for a quite a while I felt.
- 1:12:44And now the last few last few months, especially since like
- 1:12:49the anniversary show this year, you've seen shoots of we're
- 1:12:54getting back to where we was. And that has shown, while the
- 1:12:58last couple of shows at least have been easily the most
- 1:13:03enjoyable and makes you look forward to the following show to
- 1:13:08which I'm looking forward to December.
- 1:13:12And I completely forgot we've still got the MMU to come in a
- 1:13:17couple of weeks time. It's an interesting choice to
- 1:13:20call the show reboot and not have the title match.
- 1:13:24Where the future like future shotgun reboot.
- 1:13:27Yeah, this new thing, this new place when the McCarthy PC take
- 1:13:33over. So I suppose it's going to be
- 1:13:36interesting how the how they work all like the reboot things,
- 1:13:42because you you would have thought if there'd been a title
- 1:13:45changing call your next show like reboot because it make a
- 1:13:50bit more, but who knows, who knows what's planned.
- 1:13:55Yeah, quite easily at the first hurdle by a not cleaning the
- 1:14:00ring of the graffiti that's been sprayed on, giving them the show
- 1:14:04title reboot when they want a reboot.
- 1:14:07I would have at least had one or two matches where we try and
- 1:14:11fight back before giving in, but it looks like Declan McCarthy's
- 1:14:14now the the head bucker of future shock forever.
- 1:14:18I I will say this, I did one someone else, I did one someone
- 1:14:23up about the reboot show saying that it's going to be a more
- 1:14:27mature show and they believed me for about 5 minutes until I said
- 1:14:36to him, no, I'm only joking. Oh no.
- 1:14:40Oh, the the look on their face was so funny because I'm a I'm a
- 1:14:45bastard sometimes, but I can. Agree on.
- 1:14:49A lovable 1 takes. One to know.
- 1:14:52I know, I know, apologies, needed.
- 1:14:56I know full well. But yeah, the the next show is
- 1:15:01the 15th of November actually. MMU Manchester Metropolitan
- 1:15:11Union tickets I believe are still available, double header
- 1:15:19and if you need some food that is a kind of an off licence just
- 1:15:25over the road. Rhino's favourite one of choice
- 1:15:31because I've seen him go in it twice during the double header
- 1:15:36he did a couple of years ago. But yeah, I, I recommend
- 1:15:44especially this whole ongoing storyline with McAfee and Hayes.
- 1:15:53And even we have two matches that have been announced for
- 1:15:59show one at least. So we have a chairs match which
- 1:16:05was announced earlier today with Brian Strong, who obviously does
- 1:16:14not like his dad enough to turn up to shows, taking on Bentley
- 1:16:20in a chairs match. So that's that's got to be an
- 1:16:26interesting one. And the other match that we know
- 1:16:32is for the Adrenaline title with the leading man Tony Wright
- 1:16:38taking on the real thing, Scott Olbermann, with the stipulation
- 1:16:44of if Olbermann loses, he cannot challenge for the Adrenaline
- 1:16:51title while Tony Wright is champion.
- 1:16:57You know, reverse guard. I will wait nearer the time for
- 1:17:05predictions. I I'm almost tempted.
- 1:17:10Are you there at the next show? I am indeed.
- 1:17:14I may even be tempted to record a pre show at the venue.
- 1:17:20Oh, that would be interesting. Just to gauge opinions, which I
- 1:17:29may need the Davina McCall, please don't swear we're live
- 1:17:37button function needed, but hey ho, there you go.
- 1:17:44That is the end of proceedings with future shock.
- 1:17:49However, I will ask this anyhow. Have you anything you would like
- 1:17:55to plug or perhaps even down the line?
- 1:18:02Now there's a little thing that used to be called Aftershock and
- 1:18:06in 2026 it's going to be getting bigger.
- 1:18:09You know, we've got a website. I'm sure you you might want to
- 1:18:12write an article or two. We've got a website coming.
- 1:18:16Got everything from all around the wrestling world.
- 1:18:20It'll be a lot of fun. Not too serious.
- 1:18:23And I was the original. Don't let the Brick Rest
- 1:18:25Collective fool you, even though I've done that as well and
- 1:18:29that's a great, that's a great thing as well.
- 1:18:36And for those that are listening, I am just staring at
- 1:18:40Jack because OK, I'm going to say this.
- 1:18:47I had mentioned Aftershock to him ages ago, to which Jack
- 1:18:53refuses to believe. I brought this up and has
- 1:18:57claimed many times on DM that I did not suggest the idea.
- 1:19:05Well, you didn't. Suggest the idea.
- 1:19:08You suggested the name. I will.
- 1:19:10I have never said that you didn't suggest the name.
- 1:19:13My has always been the name. Not the podcast, the name.
- 1:19:17Unless you're very willing to just say no, you can accept that
- 1:19:22I pick the name. I, Jack Benson of Sound Legal
- 1:19:26Mind, admit that Peter Brothers chose the name Aftershock in a
- 1:19:31Twitter post where I asked for a name.
- 1:19:36However, he didn't create the content and neither did I.
- 1:19:39To be honest, it was a complete failure.
- 1:19:41But that's why the 2026 were coming back with a rambling
- 1:19:46about wrestling, not Aftershock. It turns out picking a really
- 1:19:50specific niche of a really specific niche in wrestling is
- 1:19:54in your best for content. But we've got stuff from all
- 1:19:57over the UK, all over the US, Bit of Mexico CMOL subscriptions
- 1:20:02cost £30 a month. I'll be reviewing those shows so
- 1:20:05you don't have to pay that, you know, classic stuff.
- 1:20:10Oh I'll just do what I do, find certain countries websites and
- 1:20:15just watch really old because I I have found old ECW and WCW
- 1:20:25events from 1993 all the way to the very end so I don't have to
- 1:20:30have the WWE subscription and they are all TV rips.
- 1:20:37Now that that's some quality recommendations.
- 1:20:40I can't find WWF ones which is annoying.
- 1:20:45However I have binge watched old 2000 and and 2001 WCWS because I
- 1:20:56hate myself because they were God awful from like early 2000
- 1:21:02WCWS to the very end. But it is good watching the pay
- 1:21:07per views because we never got them in the UK.
- 1:21:10No, I'd. Say as if I was born at that
- 1:21:13time. You're really.
- 1:21:15Old. Now I was not, I was not a 90s
- 1:21:20kid unfortunately. So I mean I've gone back and
- 1:21:23watched a couple of bits but can't say I know much from the
- 1:21:26attitude error. Not attitude error.
- 1:21:29And. It's all in the mind.
- 1:21:32Anything WCW eyes, I would say, I would probably say about 19,
- 1:21:43yeah, up until 99. And then after that, no, it is,
- 1:21:50it is woeful where you have chickens being thrown at all.
- 1:21:56That was a thing as well. Terry Frank bringing a cooked
- 1:22:02chicken. I wasn't cooked, it was raw.
- 1:22:04And throwing it at Dustin Rhodes and calling him a chicken.
- 1:22:09And you can see all the juice off the chicken flying into the
- 1:22:12crowd. Oh gosh, that's that's just not
- 1:22:17nice. No, and there was also an
- 1:22:20incident with Tank Abbott, which many people will know of and I
- 1:22:25am not bringing it up. I'm going to have to do some
- 1:22:29research here around bet your mind.
- 1:22:31Tank Abbott and Big Al and I will leave it at that.
- 1:22:37A lot of people will know what I'm talking about.
- 1:22:39And for those, yeah, it was. I'm trying to think of the word.
- 1:22:47It was a very a highly delicate situation.
- 1:22:56And I will leave. Yeah, that's exactly the face
- 1:23:00you need to be pulling. But yes, that is the end of the
- 1:23:05show. We have been chatting for quite
- 1:23:09a while. Oh, actually I was just
- 1:23:13thinking, I don't think it's been recording.
- 1:23:17And then when I've just double checked I've realised that is
- 1:23:19what time it is. Because normally I have on the
- 1:23:25left hand side of my screen the clock to tell me how long we've
- 1:23:30been going and I'm looking at the actual time it is now and
- 1:23:36thinking why is the clock not moving and that is because it is
- 1:23:41nearly 9:15. Very late, 1 by bedtime, so
- 1:23:49yeah. I've got a whole lot to edit,
- 1:23:52but yes, you've done your plugs, haven't you?
- 1:23:57Yes, I didn't want to. I'm petrified of it.
- 1:24:02Welcome to my world again. You can catch me if you want
- 1:24:08because I'm I'm fat, so you can probably catch me pretty easy.
- 1:24:13Otherwise you can catch me on Instagram under brothers
- 1:24:18grappas, and on Twitter or X if you want to leave me messages
- 1:24:24that I probably not read. I am better.
- 1:24:29Brothers Capital P Capital B. That is a lot as they would say
- 1:24:38on the onion aisle. I have been Petter Brothers.
- 1:24:43He in well audio form has been Jack Benno and we, well, you'll
- 1:24:52probably hear me at weekend because I am heading down to
- 1:24:56London for Eve and I am looking forward to that show because I
- 1:25:01have a couple meet and greets. It looks like a great card,
- 1:25:06Christian. I'm Willow.
- 1:25:07I'm jealous. So you've got oh, there's a the
- 1:25:12whole card looks great. To be fair.
- 1:25:16I am really looking forward to it.
- 1:25:21I'm not looking forward to travelling down there and
- 1:25:23travelling back because my train Saturday morning is 7:13 AM.
- 1:25:29Oh, that's. Late for you.
- 1:25:33No, in the morning. Yeah, I know.
- 1:25:38Actually, yeah, that average. But yeah, that's, that's enough
- 1:25:45talking. If you've reached the end of
- 1:25:49this episode, God bless you. You mustn't have much of A life
- 1:25:55because we obviously don't. No, not at all.
- 1:26:00And considering this wasn't even a real proper wrestling show,
- 1:26:05we've we've done well to record as much as we have.
- 1:26:09But on that note, thank you for listening and we will catch you
- 1:26:16on the next one.
