- 2:43every day, with the intention of getting something different.
- 2:46It's not going to happen on this episode.
- 2:50Another favorite WrestleMania moment and this one is from
- 2:54March 31st, 1996. We are fast forwarding to
- 2:59WrestleMania 12 and using that Infamous.
- 3:04But you know, dreaded Lexus press bus that they little
- 3:08borrow and going great to the arrowhead.
- 3:11Pond and Anaheim California or as I like to call it, the one
- 3:16with the Iron Man match. There was a lot of returns at a
- 3:22few farewells for this month at the next.
- 3:25As we all know, the first mention of May 19th happened
- 3:28this year, which included the farewell of two favorite w
- 3:33wrestlers more on that later. But first, let me tell you
- 3:39during the show, I will be stating additional facts that
- 3:42you may or may not have known already that I just happened to
- 3:44come across on the web over the years.
- 3:46It's a fun thought that Count guys, during every episode after
- 3:51I've discussed the Wrestlemania and his moments, I would read it
- 3:53by the card, the roster and isn't rewatchable, but giving a
- 3:57unique rating system such as a, how many videotaped out of 10
- 4:01would we give it? And we take it with us to school
- 4:04to have our friends, watch it the next day.
- 4:08So let's get on with it. All right, so before I begin,
- 4:14let me crack. Open the Good Ole.
- 4:18Energy drink. I'm not using the funds oh
- 4:23anymore. Apparently.
- 4:29Let me pop up in the zone. Now getting this Aftershock
- 4:37still no caffeine or natural. Caffeine no 00 sugar I can't get
- 4:46my hands on the xoi so I'm popping up in 88 shock which I
- 4:51believe is an Aftershock energy and this one's blueberry.
- 4:54Let's just taste the same like the zoa's.
- 4:57So regardless of if I'm having a solo or an Aftershock energy,
- 5:01let's go Whoa, looking beautiful.
- 5:15I was going to start off the map.
- 5:20Damn, hey, what's up? I was going to start off with
- 5:27the first match that was shown on the broadcast and it's on
- 5:30peacock, but the dark matches were just downright, ridiculous,
- 5:34not to be discussed. First dark match of the night.
- 5:41The bodydonnas defeated. The god wins for the vacant Tag
- 5:45Team Championship mr. Scissor me Daddy ass Billy Gunn
- 5:50was in the hot tag team in 1996, called the smoking guns, and
- 5:55February. He was forced to vacate acting
- 5:58about to undergo next surgery. So tournament was announced in
- 6:04the team's consisted of the bodydonnas defeating The
- 6:07Bushwhackers Yes, the legendary Bushwhackers were back around
- 6:121996. That wasn't fun at all for us,
- 6:16but, you know, you get the gist of it.
- 6:22Savio, Vega and Razor Ramon defeated the 1-2-3 Kid.
- 6:28The traitorous 1-2-3, Kid, 1-2-3 Kid, you know, the kid, and
- 6:34another crater Tatanka, the British Bulldog and Owen Hart
- 6:40defeated, Barry, Horowitz and hakushi bless you and the
- 6:45guidelines defeated. The new rockers what they were
- 6:49trying to go after new. Rockers margin 80, got a new
- 6:51guy. Al Snow renamed him, Leif
- 6:56Cassidy. Our somewhere around there.
- 7:00Leaf something and in the first round of the tournament they
- 7:05were gone by the second round. It got a bit weird, the Godwin's
- 7:11defeated, the British Bulldog and Owen Hart in the semifinals.
- 7:14And then the by Donald defeated, the team of Club, your Vega and
- 7:16the replacement partner of Steve Austin, razor amount.
- 7:21I got suspended for failing, a drug test.
- 7:24Plus it's contract, negotiations was up in the air.
- 7:27He was still Roster. But he was pulled from any
- 7:31involvement with TB and WrestleMania all together and
- 7:36finally, we have the final of the tournament and that is the
- 7:38by God of Team defeating the Godwin's with the help of Santa
- 7:42Sonny's, sunny days Sonny's asset afterwards.
- 7:47There was another dark match so glad for us, we missed it.
- 7:51Unfortunately. If you had cable back then you
- 7:55would get the 30 minute preview. And that free-for-all preview
- 7:59with a catastrophic nightmare that we all saw.
- 8:05Throughout the month of February.
- 8:07The he was running. Skits of the competition.
- 8:11They'll you and making fun of them.
- 8:15Billionaire. Ted had just started W Monday,
- 8:18Nitro in September of 1995, and we poked fun at the fair.
- 8:23So to speak by thrashing, Monday Night Raw saying they were
- 8:26pre-recorded And December of 1990 5 W women's champion at the
- 8:32time. Alundra blayze appeared on the
- 8:35show. You Monday Nitro and through the
- 8:38Women's Championship title in the trash on National
- 8:42Television. Some retaliation WWE wanted to
- 8:47just throw in some jab as well and minutes get about how
- 8:51they're popular wrestlers we're so old that they need to go
- 8:56somewhere else. So that made up a bunch of old
- 9:00people, the drama skiing Jean Oracle and of course we all know
- 9:08him as Mean Gene Okerlund. He has the scoop.
- 9:12So, call his 1-800 Umber. they turned it all around, they made
- 9:16it seem like His one night hundred-number, you know, light
- 9:21on the numbers go somewhere else, there was that Nacho Man,
- 9:27Randy Savage. Oh Yeah.
- 9:30With his little. Why have one around me?
- 9:34No I don't apparently idiot forgot to bring one cuz I did
- 9:38pie few of them. His Slim Jims it snap into them.
- 9:45And of course, the coup de gras the huckster, you know, who
- 9:50they're making fun of dare correct, the freaking hulkster,
- 9:58it all culminated at WrestleMania, 12 into
- 10:01free-for-all. I've we hated that free-for-all.
- 10:06When huckster the huckster fought, the natural man, and a
- 10:10no contest with the parody of Ted Turner, billionaire.
- 10:16Ted, as the special guest referee, After the event, the
- 10:22whole sketches were canceled but was felt quite amusing by Ted
- 10:29Turner. And even Hulk Hogan has gone to
- 10:32say that it backfired and Vince McMahon because people switched
- 10:36over to those who W to see if that what they were saying was
- 10:41true. First match of the night to
- 10:45British Bulldog. Owen Hart and the man they call
- 10:48Vader. Defeated Ahmed Johnson, Jake
- 10:51Roberts and Yokozuna the match lasted 13 minutes and eight
- 10:56seconds. Let's go back to surprise
- 11:00entrant in this match was Vader who had debuted at the Royal
- 11:05Rumble and joined Camp Cornett. We can list it at the time of
- 11:11the British Bulldog open heart and you can do that with Master
- 11:13Wu Ji before debuting in the 1996 Rumble Match.
- 11:19However Vader have made it clear to McMahon that he need a
- 11:22shoulder surgery. They're Mastodon as he was
- 11:27quoted as being with permitted to take time off.
- 11:31If they're filming a suspension angle in which he assaulted
- 11:34president Gorilla Monsoon after having the surgery.
- 11:39Bader was confident that he would have many month off to
- 11:42properly heal before his Grand return.
- 11:46That all changed. When McMahon called him weeks
- 11:48after the surgery, saying that he needed better to work with
- 11:53Yokozuna a tree. WrestleMania and order that a
- 11:57rated Vader, immensely. The match ended up turning into
- 12:02a six-man tag but Vader was indeed back on the road long
- 12:06before he should have been as for the match, it was everything
- 12:11you thought it would be. It's called an opening match for
- 12:18a reason, it was chaotic. And you can't elevator was still
- 12:22reeling with the surgery. So just was horrible.
- 12:28Yeah. Second thing that was even a
- 12:33match. It was just a two people meeting
- 12:35up backstage. Rowdy Roddy Piper meeting up
- 12:40with his opponent Goldust in the back.
- 12:43Lot of Hollywood there are going to fight Hollywood Backlot bra
- 12:48with commencing to start with started all this kind of a, I
- 12:56got to tell this story before I tell that story kind of
- 12:59situation. It's called, huh?
- 13:00All made no bones about. Why he jumped to those out of
- 13:03you more money and the lighter calendar at age. 37, it could
- 13:10have your erotically been his last chance at big money in the
- 13:15business. As Ramon Hall was set to do
- 13:20battle with inter-college champion Goldust at
- 13:22WrestleMania, 12 and of Miami three fight.
- 13:26When Scott Hall faxes reservation in McMahon in
- 13:29February 1996, McMahon ordered a match for Wrestlemania, be
- 13:33scrapped. By coincidence Hall, has failed
- 13:39a drug test around the same time and we you dirty sample to cast
- 13:45him out. They sent Hall home for six
- 13:49weeks appeared. That wouldn't end until after
- 13:53WrestleMania. Preventing a perceived Trader
- 13:57from collecting, any form of WrestleMania bonus.
- 14:02However, weeks after Vader attacked Gorilla Monsoon Piper
- 14:07was named interim WF president. His first act in the company was
- 14:13to reinstate The Ultimate Warrior into the company after
- 14:17reading a letter campaign from bands.
- 14:20That's a line. Nobody wanted him back this in
- 14:23turn got the I retention of one Goldust, who perceived him and
- 14:28with make promos objectifying Piper And raged Piper claimed,
- 14:35he would make a man out of Golda at WrestleMania 12.
- 14:40The match Dove to Hollywood Backlot Pro began an Alleyway or
- 14:45behind Arrowhead Pond. But gold has jumped into his
- 14:51gold Cadillac and ran Piper over.
- 14:54Ultimately escaping, allegedly onto the highways of Anaheim.
- 15:00Piper pursued in his white Ford Bronco, which was the error
- 15:05footage shown of the o.j. Simpson.
- 15:08Low-speed. Chase from two years prior here
- 15:13is an audio of Dusty Rhodes. Dustin Rhodes, talking about the
- 15:17fighting on stage as it inside the ropes, live event.
- 15:22We go eat, It this really fancy restaurant that Vince knew the
- 15:27Wolfgang Puck's or something. You know, the Vince knew the
- 15:30owners and all kinds of food. And I'm sitting there at the
- 15:33table with Vince McMahon Roddy and Bruce Prichard and we start
- 15:37talking about what we're going to do here.
- 15:38And this is two weeks before WrestleMania 12 So we drive over
- 15:43to Universal Studios. In the back lot area, where they
- 15:48had hired some extras just to stand around, you know, by this
- 15:51table, they made this this table with all this catering stuff on
- 15:55it and I'm looking around and up and me and Rowdy really aren't
- 15:58talking because we just this is one of those times where you've
- 16:02been in the business for a while and you trust the person you're
- 16:05with and you know you're going to you're going to create some
- 16:09magic because he knows what he's doing and I know what I'm doing.
- 16:13So at this point, it's like I'm looking around.
- 16:15And to see what I can utilize in this one-take shoot.
- 16:20We cannot redo this. This is a one-take thing.
- 16:23Well, Vince went out and he bought brand new white Bronco
- 16:28just like o.j. Simpson had right?
- 16:31The same year, same color, all that stuff.
- 16:33And then he got me an old fucking piece of shit Cadillac
- 16:38and spray painted it. Gold.
- 16:39I'm like what the fuck? How do I get the shit end of the
- 16:41stick? So I asked Vince, I said, can I
- 16:44take the car and just spin out a couple times and test it out and
- 16:48make sure I can come around this corner, you know, decent and she
- 16:52yeah. So I'm we're playing around and
- 16:54finally, it's time to shoot. I mean, rowdy at talk, just a
- 16:58little bit. So we kind of know what we're
- 17:00going to do, but I am not to get any offense in at all.
- 17:05This is all Rowdy, kicking my ass and the only piece of
- 17:09offense that I get is a nut shot.
- 17:10And then I get in the car and I drive off and in me driving off,
- 17:16I clip Roddy's Bronco. That's what I'm supposed to do
- 17:20and then cut around the corner and out of the fucking scene.
- 17:23He gets in his Bronco, he drives off.
- 17:25Well, a lot of that didn't work like that.
- 17:29So the start of this thing, I pull around the corner man and
- 17:32there's Rowdy and he's got a baseball bat in his hand and
- 17:35he's hitting his hand. So I'm revving up the engine and
- 17:37drive up and he drops the bat and he pulls up this big fucking
- 17:42fireman's water hose, right? And he starts squirting me, like
- 17:44that's going to stop the car, right?
- 17:47But it does. I'll put on the brakes and then
- 17:49he stops and picks up the bat. And he comes in bashes in the
- 17:52fucking window, right? Beside me.
- 17:53Glass went everywhere, he cut his hand, there was blood on me.
- 17:58Climbed out the other side and he met me and he commenced to
- 18:02kicking my ass for real. He hit me a couple times in the
- 18:06head with the bat, I guided him over to this big giant dumpster,
- 18:14which I did not feel before we shot this.
- 18:18And I said, throw me. I'm talking to throw me into
- 18:20this dumpster loved, I always loved because it makes it really
- 18:25real, and if I can make something look fucking good, I
- 18:28feel Feel so good and he threw me into this dumpster and it did
- 18:32not fucking budge. And I bang my I mean I hit my
- 18:36head so hard that I had a concussion you know it was bad,
- 18:40it hurts so bad, Vince did not want any blood because I had
- 18:45asked him I said can I fucking get some juice in this since
- 18:48he's kicking my ass like crazy as hit me with everything?
- 18:51He said? No, no, no, no.
- 18:53And you know that's that's how advanced is sometimes.
- 18:55Sometimes he lets it go but he did not want anybody.
- 18:58Blood. So I talked to Ronnie before,
- 19:01this all started. I said that this is the only
- 19:03thing that we really talked about.
- 19:04I said, I want you to bust me open the hard way.
- 19:06He said, okay, I will sure no problem.
- 19:12I'm looking at him, I'm saying to hit me right here, you know,
- 19:14because that's how you do it. You hit it right on that fucking
- 19:16eyebrow and just twist your knuckles and it'll split open
- 19:20like crazy. So finally we end up and he
- 19:24throws me on the hood of the car and he mounts me and he grabs my
- 19:28head and I'm saying, okay, do it now and he hits me Square, dab
- 19:33in the fucking forehead, not the eye, it hurts.
- 19:37So fucking bad man. And I'm just like, no, there's
- 19:41no blood. Nothing.
- 19:42I'm like, do it again now, if you watch this fucking match in,
- 19:47you slowly do the tape and he watch it.
- 19:50You can see that on the second shot.
- 19:52But when he hit the same spot and the forehead not my eye, he
- 19:56broke his hand. He broke his hand at.
- 20:00You can hear the crack. You can see the thought into my
- 20:02hand into my head and you broke his hand so far.
- 20:08I got a concussion, he's got a broken hand.
- 20:12I roll off the car going goddamn and I'm thinking no fucking
- 20:16blood. Fuck.
- 20:16I'm pissed because I don't have any blood you know.
- 20:20And there he is and this is my one shot for an offensive
- 20:24maneuver. So I fucking nut shot him.
- 20:26He goes down. I jump in my car.
- 20:28There's glass everywhere. I'm putting my hands in his just
- 20:31cutting ever work as he bashed in everything.
- 20:34I put it into drive and there's Rowdy probably from here to the,
- 20:38the camera, I guess back there and I'm revving up the engine.
- 20:42Now it's just one of the other things we talked about he's
- 20:44going to move out of the way as I drive past him and then I clip
- 20:48his I clip his Bronco, right? So I'm waiting for him to move.
- 20:53Now, I'm not driving too fast, it's probably 15 miles an hour,
- 20:5710 miles an hour, I guess, I don't know.
- 21:00But I'm driving and he's not moving.
- 21:04I'm getting closer and closer. And that now, in my mind, it's
- 21:08slowing down like really slow and I see him, just moving
- 21:11close. I'm playing, I'm just playing it
- 21:13out in my head. Please fucking move.
- 21:15Please fucking move. Please, fucking move.
- 21:17He doesn't move and I hear this cook, honk his fucking knees,
- 21:21just buckled on that car. And he grabs the where the hood
- 21:26is right there and I'm looking right at him and his fucking
- 21:28eyes and he's looking at me and I'm like, oh my God.
- 21:31God I just fucking killed Roddy Piper man.
- 21:33Jesus Right, he didn't move. but, And the same time, I know
- 21:42that he's been in films and he's been a stuntman.
- 21:45So I'm thinking to myself, okay, maybe maybe he's going to be
- 21:48okay. I hope he's okay.
- 21:49Please get off my fucking hood of the car.
- 21:52I've already passed his Bronco now.
- 21:54So I can't hit his Bronco Heroes off.
- 21:56I drive off, I drive around the corner that cut.
- 22:01I mean, he does whatever he does, but did they cut the cut?
- 22:04The thing right there. And I come back and all the
- 22:07extras that were there. This is a long story.
- 22:09Sorry. All the extras were there.
- 22:11We're looking at me and this is and I'm still like this today.
- 22:16I'm very kayfabe. I really believe in keeping
- 22:19secrets and things and I know it's changed over the years and,
- 22:23you know, sometimes you just have to accept it.
- 22:25But that doesn't mean I do and I'm very kayfabe and all the
- 22:29extras are walking up, man. You did a great job and this and
- 22:31that I might get the fuck off of me, man.
- 22:33Like I'm acting pissed. I'm acting pissed because I just
- 22:37got my ass kicked and I wanted it to be real to them.
- 22:40They shut down and I made it believable to them which is
- 22:43good, you know, it's good. We need that now, our youngsters
- 22:46need to make the fucking people believe that something serious
- 22:50is going on in the ring. And that's what's, that's a lot,
- 22:53what missing, and I did that, and I'm watching the video
- 22:56Vince's, in the back here, Roddy's upstairs, he's not
- 22:59watching. He's nowhere near me.
- 23:01So I'm really kayfabe being And the thing is over, I'm watching
- 23:06the thing back and I'm just grunting and just like, shaking
- 23:09my head and fucking acting kind of hurt, but pissed off.
- 23:13And they shut down. Really quiet.
- 23:15The thing gets over and I just get up and I just throw a chair
- 23:18and I walk off and they all were going to events like Manus it.
- 23:22He's really pissed. And Vince was, you know, huh?
- 23:24Yeah, we got you mother fuckers. I went upstairs and I gave Rowdy
- 23:30a hug and we're both complaining the goddamn you getting fucking
- 23:33him. Had you broke my hand on your
- 23:35fucking head. Dustin Jesus.
- 23:37So Vince takes us both to the fucking Hospital right?
- 23:42Both of us and he's sitting in the hospital waiting room
- 23:46talking on the phone. I can only think he's calling
- 23:48Linda right? And they're putting a cast on
- 23:52Roddy's hand and then fucking checking me out for my
- 23:55concussion and stuff like that. Two weeks later.

- 27:23Next match Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Savio.
- 27:26Vega at 10 minutes and 5 Seconds when the ringmaster Steve
- 27:32Austin, debuted on January 8th, 1996 on an episode of Raw.
- 27:38You saw him get awarded with the million-dollar Title.
- 27:41By his manager, The Million Dollar, Man, Ted DiBiase after
- 27:46failing to hang on to The ropes at the Royal Rumble.
- 27:49He soon lost the ringmaster moniker he said in 2017
- 27:54interview after watching The Pulp Fiction movie with Bruce
- 27:58Willis. That's the haircut that inspired
- 28:00me. I was traveling on the road to
- 28:04Pittsburgh with Dustin Rhodes. And before I went to the show, I
- 28:08said, fuck it. I went to the bathroom with a
- 28:11razor blade and shape, all my hair off.
- 28:15Then I grew to goatee and everything came full circle by
- 28:19March 11th. The ringmaster moniker now
- 28:24merrily a prefix to his ring name would be discarded in favor
- 28:28of his most ring, famous ring name, Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
- 28:33The new name was prompted by his English wife at the time.
- 28:38Jeannie who told him to drink a cup of tea, she had made him
- 28:43before it became Stone Cold. His new persona was partially
- 28:49inspired by serial killer Richard Kuklinski.
- 28:55Savio Vega spoke to Dominic D'Angelo a fresnel Zone and
- 28:58discussed the feud with Austin and how it came to be quote,
- 29:04when the Great Pat Patterson God love him, when the Great Pat
- 29:08Patterson came to me in San Antonio, Texas were doing raw
- 29:13and I saw the paper you arrive and you see who you're working
- 29:16tonight. And I see Savio Vega and Steve
- 29:19Austin. I say who the hell is Steve
- 29:22Austin? So then Here Comes Pat with the
- 29:26he says I love y'all. I say yes, I would lacing my
- 29:30boots. He said this is Steve, he's
- 29:32gonna do is try out tonight. Put it together, let me know you
- 29:36go over with the spinning kick. I say, okay, that's it.
- 29:40So this is what I say to Steve. I said, brother, I don't know
- 29:43you you don't know me. There's the way I do this.
- 29:46He said, okay, I said, let's call it in the ring.
- 29:49He said, all right, when he said that I said right, I'm cool.
- 29:53I know what I'm gonna bring. I don't know, I don't know when
- 29:57you got a very, I just want to take care of myself, I don't
- 30:00want to get hurt. My friend, when he finished the
- 30:04match, we got the people up and we went to the back.
- 30:07I wait for him, shake his hand and say, brother, what a fucking
- 30:10match, and he's all like, oh, it was good.
- 30:13I said, brother, Pat come to me and say, I love you, tell me I
- 30:19say, did you see it? He said, yeah, you tell me I'm
- 30:22like, I think it was great. He's like, it was great.
- 30:26It feel how it feel. I said easy, he says, okay
- 30:29tomorrow you guys working again. I said, all right.
- 30:33So we working again and now I'm happy because I know the tools
- 30:36that he brings, and man, then from that point on, we got
- 30:41married for almost a year. Working every night to give us
- 30:45pay-per-views to give us the Caribbean strap.
- 30:48They give us a WrestleMania. So I say we have such great
- 30:53chemistry. It was easy, he worked for
- 30:55Texas, he worked for Atlanta, he worked for Florida, he worked
- 30:59all day at area and guys that came down from that area.
- 31:02Work here in Puerto Rico and many of them work with me.
- 31:05So, by that time, we just have one book of the world was take
- 31:08it easy. Get out of ring, and one piece
- 31:10and make the crowd happy. So, that's what we did.
- 31:13We did the basic stuff. Savio Vega than total story of a
- 31:18match on the we live event. He had with Austin, the pair
- 31:22went so long that some W superstars in.
- 31:26The back weren't too thrilled with having to wait for the ring
- 31:29time including the legendary Undertaker.
- 31:31Who had other things on his mind.
- 31:34One time he says, we were in this time.
- 31:39One time he says, we were in this town and we work for 25
- 31:42minutes. Steven mean, we forget about
- 31:44everybody, we are bumping, we are so happy of what we just did
- 31:49a comeback. And we went to the dressing
- 31:50room. I remember Yokozuna was there
- 31:53the bsk guys were there and take her.
- 31:56Take her. Just look at me and say,
- 31:57motherfucker, we have to go next and you guys want to take the
- 32:02ring, I just went like this. I'm sorry, man.
- 32:05He's like what the fuck is a barbecue?
- 32:10Says he's like, what the fuck? There's a bar waiting for us.
- 32:16Oh man, I love when Savio Vega explains the story.
- 32:21Ages like either carry the character and his own story so I
- 32:24had to include it in there as well.
- 32:28Oh the magic was in really great as well.
- 32:34They both killed it at WrestleMania, don't go, Steve
- 32:39Austin. Use the Million Dollar Belt to
- 32:43throw to hit. Love your bag.
- 32:46And then incapacitate him, knock him out.
- 32:49I guess, which he applied The Million Dollar Dream, and he
- 32:53won. Just like that.
- 32:56It was great. I love that one.
- 33:01The next match was The Ultimate Warrior defeating Hunter Hearst
- 33:06Helmsley. That's right.
- 33:09Triple H man, one minute 39 seconds.
- 33:14You're right. One of the most memorable spots
- 33:17of the match. Saw him flee actually land the
- 33:20pedigree only for mr. Warrior himself to meet Lee
- 33:26knows how to move quickly. Regaining his vertical base in a
- 33:29supercharged, We re at The Story Goes, Hemsley was troubled by
- 33:36Warriors. Insistent on brushing off
- 33:38Hunters finisher and route to Dripping him to shred.
- 33:43The junior click member went to Briscoe to express his concerns
- 33:50and the longtime backstage agent employer Hemsley to salvage the
- 33:53pedigree while professing that the match should be a little
- 33:57more even Gerald Brisco, even a He Handley on a return visit to
- 34:02warrior in attempt to persuade him toward a more competitive
- 34:07match, but Warrior clearly did not budge.
- 34:13And this was the reason we don't like Warrior anymore.
- 34:15Sorry, sorry. That sorry.
- 34:18Sucks. Cheers, Aftershock.
- 34:21All right. No, for real.
- 34:28He was a fucking douchebag back then.
- 34:32Clearly nice 96. He didn't clearly right here.
- 34:35Also. Couldn't wait to leave, shut up
- 34:42and does the other later that year.
- 34:45And yeah, that was horrible. Next match was the Undertaker to
- 34:51feeding diesel, 60 minutes and 46 seconds in 2020.
- 34:56Kevin Nash appeared on after the belt podcast with Corey Graves,
- 35:01where he was asked, what would have been different at Kevin
- 35:04Nash hadn't left to do the deleted ocw.
- 35:09Well he says, if I would have stayed, I wouldn't have dropped
- 35:13the belt to Brett to give the Sean.
- 35:17I let that would guarantee the wind at me.
- 35:19Again, I'll take her, I wouldn't have done it.
- 35:22No, I would have had three losses in the row.
- 35:26I would have needs a big win right there.
- 35:28So then there goes to streak. He says Mark wasn't a mark for
- 35:34me to do business. That could have been a
- 35:36possibility, I definitely would not cough it up without
- 35:40something. Diesel off to W Championship to
- 35:46Bret Hart at Survivor Series 1995.
- 35:49He participated in got thrown out by Shawn Michaels at the
- 35:51Royal Rumble and generate 96. He then went on to lose the
- 35:55bread heart again, I didn't your house in a steel cage match in a
- 35:58February of 1996, and then he lost to the Undertaker here,
- 36:01putting him at 5:00. And I know, because he was
- 36:04leaving. Anyway, BB had him lose all his
- 36:08major pay per views and events on to the May 19th incident.
- 36:12And finally, Rowdy Roddy Piper defeated Goldust at 60 minutes
- 36:19and 46 seconds. Here is more audio from inside
- 36:23the ropes. Two weeks later.
- 36:27I'm the Intercontinental Champion.
- 36:29We arrived in LA and three days before we're doing a rehearsal
- 36:35of what Vince is vision is and what he would like to see.
- 36:40And I'm, I'm thinking to myself that we need to add to this here
- 36:43because he was looking for a way out of the match.
- 36:46He didn't want Rowdy to win the IC title but he didn't want me
- 36:49to lose the IC title. So we had to come to a middle
- 36:51ground there. And I said, Vince, what if If?
- 36:56Rowdy ripped my clothes off. And I had women's lingerie
- 37:03underneath and then Terry Marlena would cover me up with
- 37:09my robe as I got out of the ring and we just kind of ended it
- 37:12like that, you know, and then Roddy would have his son come in
- 37:15the ring and stuff like that. And that's how we got out of
- 37:17that match. But when it's our time to go,
- 37:21they show the thing. And that we did two weeks
- 37:24earlier at the back lot. Then they show the chasing, then
- 37:28a match happens, you know, and they go back.
- 37:30Oh my God. I guess they're coming to
- 37:31Anaheim. You know, in La looks like
- 37:34they're coming. This way Rod.
- 37:35He's chasing gold us down the fucking highway, but it's o.j.
- 37:38that they're fucking piped in there, right?
- 37:41It's the o.j. Sing So we're waiting in the
- 37:45back of the parking lot. And the thing is he's supposed
- 37:48to give me a 3 second Head Start, and I'm supposed to bust
- 37:53through the barricade and go down the ramp which curls down
- 37:56to the left. So the give me the cue in Rowdy
- 37:59supposed to wait three seconds because when I get out of the
- 38:02door and start running into the arena, he supposed to Vince
- 38:07wanted some car Carnage, man. He wanted him to bump into my
- 38:11door and just smash the shit out of the door.
- 38:14Well, it didn't work like that. They gave me the cue to go man,
- 38:17it's our time now. They're pulling in.
- 38:19Oh my God, this is Mayhem. It's fucking going to be crazy
- 38:22or whatever and I pulled down that I busted a barricade, he
- 38:25doesn't wait three seconds, he's pretty close.
- 38:28He's pretty close on my ass and I pulled to a stop and he's so
- 38:33close that. I tried it but I knew it was
- 38:36going to make it. So I pushed it open the door
- 38:38open so fast that it slammed because it was that close.
- 38:41There's no way he would have killed me.
- 38:44And he rammed into the side of the door.
- 38:45And I just ended up calling out the other side and ran inside.
- 38:48And I'm waiting there. And this was back when they had
- 38:50the tunnels was really cool. And I'm sitting there and
- 38:54Marlene has there, she's consoling me and I'm down on the
- 38:57ground. I just got my ass kicked.
- 38:59I had to make my makeup just like it was two weeks before
- 39:02there was blood on my suit from the, the fight, you know, and
- 39:06the stuff and had to do everything, really kayfabe and
- 39:10keep it, keep it as real as possible.
- 39:12And here comes Right through the back.
- 39:14Doors looking for me, right? So he starts Coming at me and
- 39:19I'm in Marlena and myself were backing up through the tunnel
- 39:22and oh my God I'm in the fucking Arena now.
- 39:26How the holy shit? How did I how did this fucking
- 39:30happen? How stupid am I to fucking come
- 39:33here to the arena, right? And I'm looking around and
- 39:36they're fucking booing and this and that man in the back pipes,
- 39:41hit the fucking music. Hit in that place, came unglued,
- 39:46man. It was fucking I get chills.
- 39:49Chills about it every time I talk about it.
- 39:51It's it was incredible and he walks out with his fucking walk.
- 39:55Like he does man and he's doing the slow walk and I'm just like,
- 39:58no, and he's backing me up all the way to the ring and we have
- 40:01our good little match. It was not bad.
- 40:04And he finally ripped off my clothes, you know?
- 40:06And we did it. It was awesome.
- 40:09It's one of the things that stood out and some of the
- 40:11pictures man was a fucking women's lingerie, which I went
- 40:14to Frederick's of Hollywood. Some shemale fucking shop and
- 40:19got all this fucking gear like a 6X fucking lingerie, what's net
- 40:24stockings and shit. So anyways I rolled out we get
- 40:26to the back and that was history that was WrestleMania. 12 from
- 40:30me. I gave the suit to his son, not
- 40:33the lingerie. I don't know what happened in
- 40:36that laundry. I wish I still had it, but That
- 40:40was WrestleMania 12 for me, man. And I had no idea that that was
- 40:44going to be I hadn't really heard of WrestleMania moments.
- 40:51Back then in my career. So as I look back on them now
- 40:55that was my WrestleMania moment was WrestleMania. 12 start
- 41:04tearing up when I start talking about stuff like that, man.
- 41:07Sorry. That's going to do for this
- 41:11episode. I know there's one more match
- 41:13left and I wanted to do a very special episode on that one.
