- 0:10Scratch that Major It, folks. This is a former president, so to
- 0:16be a president again once again. You're listening to a podcast that here some
- 0:23folks, some folks might say that it's a podcast for virgin I wouldn't say
- 0:27that, you know, I wouldn't say that personally, but some might.
- 0:31Some might say that. I like Matt and Brian. I think they're good
- 0:35guys. They're very good, a bunch of good guys, and they're listening
- 0:40to the major Figure wrestling podcast. There's wrestling, very good pocon on the
- 0:54show talking to collect Dumbles. Here we all that go fer to buy everything
- 1:02bare minimum, Brian saying, you want to say smart Mark, He's right
- 1:07up the show. It's sound on the top. Let's go. Well,
- 1:14folks, how about that? Do you like that? Huh? I mean,
- 1:18listen, It's WrestleMania season, So you know, I had to get
- 1:23on the phone and I had to get a man who wants headline WrestleMania.
- 1:27Man who whose name was kind of sort of but not really synonymous for wrestling,
- 1:34A WWE Hall of Famer to open up this week's show. And this
- 1:38show is the Major Rewind. It is a show where I take some of
- 1:42the best classic ultimate Major moments from the Major Wrestling Figure podcast rich five year
- 1:49history, and I put it together for new and old Major marks to enjoy.
- 1:53I am your host, Jay George and this week, man, like
- 1:57I said, WrestleMania and hey, you know, you know how like those
- 2:04people like the normis, the normal folks who don't know about wrestling. They
- 2:07think like every show is called WrestleMania. Well, after this week, man,
- 2:12you can call every show WrestleMania because we don't stop and we're bringing the
- 2:15hits and we're bringing top notch action to you. That's what we do here,
- 2:22and we got it. We got Matt's first ever time doing wrestle con.
- 2:28This's just from twenty twenty one. It was the first russele Kan after
- 2:31the pandemic. It was a lot different than what Russell Kon was or is
- 2:36now, and it's an interesting experience. That's from a Patreon bonus. Sh
- 2:40don't tell them, don't tell Broski s. I'm hooking you guys up.
- 2:46That's a little Patreon bonus. If you're not on the Patreon, get on
- 2:50there. I'm not going to put all the content out, just a little
- 2:53taste, uh, and then I mean this we get into there's a lot
- 2:57of talks about cards, autograph, there's a lot of Kevin Nash autographs going
- 3:01on. And one of my favorite things about doing the rewind is when I
- 3:06go back and I hear all these moments to that like they're like a prophecy.
- 3:09They end up prophesizing a lot of these moments and wrestling figure history.
- 3:15They predict not only in this episode they predict a Vlad figure which would become
- 3:19a major Bundy, but they also predict a build a figure John Cone,
- 3:23Like, what, that's nuts? But that's you know, that's what the
- 3:25podcasts. That's the magic of the major pod Baby, And what else do
- 3:30we have? We of course have the classic one two three Punch and incarnation
- 3:35of Shawn michaels A, WTF of the Undertaker, and so much more.
- 3:42Take the show. So I want to talk about some card stuff we were
- 3:45talking last week. That's the PSA stuff. Jamie Wallace says, just listen
- 3:50to this week's pot as a reminder, PSA Super Expressed three hundred and walk
- 3:54Through Service six hundred are still being accepted. Wow. All are suspended until
- 4:00further notice. This includes Value, Economy, Value and Express levels still wild.
- 4:06They want to reintroduce each level as time goes on, with the hopes
- 4:10of all services back in full swing by July. Ps for Matthew Cardona below
- 4:15are what most high end collectors consider rookie card for Hogan, Macho and Warrior.
- 4:20Obviously there's others out there that can hold some value as well, so
- 4:24he posted these pictures. This is the Warrior. If you're watching, you'll
- 4:28see this is the Warrior. I would love a warrior like this, A
- 4:31Macho and a Hogan. What is that one from Bubblegum? This is Bubblegum
- 4:38card series Superstars of Wrestling nineteen eighty nine, ninety so that was that.
- 4:45I'm trying to find his other picture because those other ones are ninety two,
- 4:49you know, here's a nineteen eighty five, nineteen eighty five Randy Savage and
- 4:54Elizabeth. I'm also looking for this one. Is that opg right? Yes?
- 5:00Cheat? And then of course reference last week that one, and of
- 5:03course it's the Wrestling All Stars Hogan. We all know about this one where
- 5:08I believe there's no ten in existence. And what's crazy is like two years
- 5:14ago I had all these cards before this big card brew. Remember, I
- 5:15got them all and like some were damaged, but I still I still sold
- 5:19them for like too low, too low. I could have got them graded
- 5:23probably no, No, the ones that were no, the ones that were
- 5:28destroyed were destroyed. But there were some that were like in mint shape.
- 5:30Oh really, yeah, I thought everything had like kind of no. It
- 5:34was like the first like it was in a book. So like the first,
- 5:38the top three cards on all the pages were messed up, so the
- 5:42bottom six were good. Oh damn. So and that guy, by the
- 5:46way, still screwed me over never give my money back, You up a
- 5:51bitch. Also, guys, it was a cold day in hell this week
- 5:57because Hardy Heft and I agree eat on something. Oh my god, we
- 6:01were talking last week about Kyle Peterson his A Ruthless Aggression collection, and me
- 6:08and Hardy were, you know, a little head scratching about do you really
- 6:12have them all? So so so I'm not gonna say anymore. I will
- 6:17I'm extending an open invite to Kyle Peterson to discuss this ruthless aggression. Endeavor
- 6:26and listen, I'm not calling you out. Here's the disclaimer, Kyle.
- 6:30Let's not discuss this drunk at Live seven at the meet and greet. Yeah,
- 6:33you're not gonna end well for anybody. You're not gonna end well at
- 6:36another time. Let's do this. But yeah, but we will have you
- 6:40on hell. Maybe that's one of the uh, maybe that's the bonus because
- 6:45history of the ruthless aggression. I'm not like fully on your hearty side,
- 6:49but I completely understand what you're saying. There's just way too many random releases
- 6:56and things that are only in certain places that let's let's say that right now.
- 7:00Boom, let's do that. That's the bonus. It will be a
- 7:02bonus with caligation about about the line of an interrogation ruthless aggression Gate. If
- 7:13you will perfect, We'll bring the interrogator. That's right. I just want
- 7:17to say, my dad went to Ringside Collectibles. Yeah, why okay,
- 7:21he went to Ringside Collectives. Is now my niece and nephew like figures.
- 7:26So he went to pick up some things. And then while he was there
- 7:31earlier in the day, I texted Giant said, hey, this is like
- 7:33two years ago with that major moment. You have those figures? Can we
- 7:38postpic saying like coming soon? He says, a great idea and like my
- 7:42figure face. My dad went that day, so he had my dad take
- 7:45pictures FIM some video. It's some weird stuff, like my dad's like his
- 7:48tongue sticking. Allies look at the figures and like apparently there's like twenty five
- 7:51takes before he get the one line out. So your dad's never really been
- 7:57good at lines? Why? Yeah, absolutely, Burbiage, Absolutely not.
- 8:05Yeah, my god, Bob. So yeah, my god Bob. But
- 8:09thank you Ring Side forgive my dad the Bros discount. I really really appreciate
- 8:13that. A couple other things. What about John Carlow, I believe,
- 8:18I don't if I if I'm giving him too much credit. I don't mind,
- 8:22because he deserves a lot of credit for thinks he doesn't get credit for.
- 8:24He made that documentary on Vladimir. Yes, I figured, so,
- 8:28okay, I know he definitely did some things. I don't know if he
- 8:31made the whole thing. Let's pretend that he did. John Carlow, great
- 8:33guy, Vladimir Man. He needs a figure very cool. Also Jackson always
- 8:43but like in it's so hard to explain because like die hard, I think
- 8:50so many diehard wrestling fans know who he is, but they don't know who
- 8:54he is, you know, right right, like documentary is gonna like really
- 8:58I think splode in the understanding, Like early nineties, he's everywhere, always
- 9:03front row, everywhere longer than that, dude, you don't realize, Like
- 9:07it's a pretty long time. Yeah, he's he's always front row. He's
- 9:11jacked, he always finds the camera put yeah, always a shot at him.
- 9:18How are you to know his name is Vladimir and he's a fan from
- 9:20you? All right? It's impossible, But I have a picture with him
- 9:22somewhere from an AXL couple years ergo. How to find it? But he's
- 9:26somebody who I think would be a great figure and that that's really like a
- 9:31deep cut. That's definitely an exclusive, maybe not a target. He's very
- 9:35good friends with Mike Johnson and the two wrestle cons I got to do when
- 9:39I was fired the first time. He was always there and I was like,
- 9:41dude, there's all these wrestling legends, you know, running around this
- 9:46thing. And I saw him from right cross the room. I was like
- 9:48what I was like, yeah, you know what I mean, Like I
- 9:52got yeah, so pumped. Uh John Carlow, he was filming. I
- 9:54assume he was filming something for this documentary. He FaceTime with me when he
- 10:00was at Vladimir's house. I FaceTime with Vladimir and he showed me all his
- 10:03collection is a rare stuff, like he has like if like mister perfect spit
- 10:07out his gum he picked up. He has like mister perfect Austin's beer can,
- 10:11like all this stuff that was thrown into like the uh you know,
- 10:15the front row or the floor. So and I mean, I'm sure will
- 10:18come out in this documentary. But what blew my mind from meeting him is
- 10:22that it's not a work Like WW didn't help him at all, like in
- 10:26zero percent, Like he did this all on his own as a fan.
- 10:30Yeah, like all those shows, all those like ticket like tickets and good
- 10:33seats like yeah, so I'm pretty interested to hear more about it, but
- 10:37I know that truth. I can't wait to see that. Maybe we can
- 10:41get him on also, John Carlow full disclosure. I said said to a
- 10:46message and said, I said, John, do you want a link ski
- 10:50to FW f he didn't respond, didn't respond. I already said him,
- 10:56John Car, all those nice things we said about you, John Car,
- 11:00you can go yourself, all right. So I did want to quickly touch
- 11:05on my wrestle kan experience. Like Brian said, it was my first wrestle
- 11:07con I go into full detail on it on the Patreon guys four ninety nine.
- 11:13It's just there, go listen to it, so I'm not gonna get
- 11:15into the full detail. It was a great experience. I loved it.
- 11:18Thanks my friend Antheyler Rockett for coming down. Got to hang out the head
- 11:22bangers Galas Anders and I did talk and shot the live personal I didn't was
- 11:24the first ever live talking shop of Madia. Yeah. I knew that because
- 11:28they got they were supposed to do Jimmy's like the week after us. But
- 11:31yeah, like Maryland like shut down, like we Yeah, that their first
- 11:35show. They did great and I was on stage for a little bit.
- 11:39I finally had some talking shop. Why that Gallas promised me he's gonna Senday
- 11:41he never does. But it was a great, great show. Bill Alfonso
- 11:46was there. Uh so the f you bomb from from Viafonso. But yes,
- 11:50like I said, check out the the bonus in not interview, I
- 11:54interview myself the bonus episode to hear more about it. But I did want
- 11:58to show and share something. Is that I got signed because Brian and Kanicky.
- 12:05No, because I didn't purchased this. Yeah he's right, yeah,
- 12:07yeah. So Brian and Kanicky sent me their riocky of the Dragon steamboats.
- 12:13Brian, very professional, sent it in the the retro case with the paint
- 12:16pen that he wanted me to use. So you know that I want to
- 12:20use this white paint pen. Great, Kannick sends no paint pen and Kannick
- 12:24sends it. I'll cover his back on this because we agreed on the same
- 12:28He knew mine was in there, got it and we had a big my
- 12:33question, Nick, big discussion because that steam boat's hard to choose the color
- 12:35because there's a lot going on in that. Now. I made a little
- 12:39deal with Kannick. He wasn't going to send the steamboat. I said,
- 12:41send the steamoat because I'm going to send you a Brett for that Jack signing,
- 12:46a bunk crunching Brett. You know, so middle trade. But Cannick,
- 12:52you're French guy, He's a French card Knnick is a French carter?
- 12:58Is he by any car necessary? Mark? I said, Conk is a
- 13:03Hasbro cards. Okay, it's gonna take what he can get. I have
- 13:09very like, very certain rules about mine, like has to be Jay Hook,
- 13:16has to be the figure, no lift in the bubble, no cracks
- 13:20in the bubble, American gardening, English carting. Well, that's gonna be
- 13:24tough when you gets the Dusty. I mean it's just how am I gonna
- 13:28find a sign Dusty? I mean, well, if you do, I
- 13:31would say, of the dusties have a crack on the the right or left
- 13:37foot for I don't know why. I mean, if it's something like that,
- 13:41I gotta move on. But yeah, I have no summer slam carding.
- 13:46I could not believe. But I opened this up and I saw like
- 13:48a French karting. I think, what the fresh call? I think it's
- 13:56like half a s collection, but it's still impressive it. Yeah, So
- 14:01I do want to thank Josh from High Spots he got the Ricky's signed,
- 14:05and then I talked about it last week that I wanted to get my series
- 14:09one Bone Crunch is all in a yellow paint pen and uh, if you're
- 14:13watching on patron say hello, do the bad guy here. It is Razor
- 14:22Ramone in that beautiful yellow paint pen. And I was worried because there's there's
- 14:26a little like, uh, you know when you you know, dot the
- 14:31eyes across the teeth, there little dot on the remote. I thought maybe
- 14:33it was a splatter on the paint pen. But KANICKI did some investigating.
- 14:35There's always that dot on the top of ramone HM, which is a little
- 14:41I don't know what it's supposed to be because there's no like like what's what's
- 14:46the thing called? Like, yeah, till day, there's none of those
- 14:50in ramone, So I don't know till day. But I think it.
- 14:54I think it pops great. I think it pops great in the yellow.
- 14:58And you need to get some already coming, babe. I brought them in.
- 15:05I took I had multi purposes holding up some of my classic superstars.
- 15:09I took two out to put these bring them part. And then also Big
- 15:16Daddy Cool is back. What a Big Daddy Cool diesel. Now again,
- 15:20these are the J hooks, not the butterfly hooks. But I believe there's
- 15:24more color on here. With the bone crunching sound and it's a correction.
- 15:28A jay hook is better than a butterfly hook. So I'm counting these this
- 15:31well count Some just fell. Uh so I got that, my big daddy.
- 15:37Cool. Now that's hardy. The box shipped ready to ship. So
- 15:43I got that. I gotta get up for a second. Get the other
- 15:46thing that just fell? Oh man, what was it? We need to
- 15:50get eyes on it. Mm hmmm mmmmm mmmmm. Do you see Broski sitting
- 16:10in a TLC chair like you can't get a nice comfortable office chair? Why
- 16:12don't you get a desk chair? I'm sorry, what, bro? Why
- 16:18don't you get Why don't you get a death chair? I like this TLC

- 16:30gonna recliner. Bro. Yeah, and what fell? Thank god I had
- 16:34this protective case. Oh yeah, did you get that sign? I did?
- 16:41Oh this is breaking news. No, I told you I got it.
- 16:44Yeah, I saw the picture, but you didn't send pictures like everything.
- 16:47I mean yeah, And then he told me I used the wrong color.
- 16:48Oh okay, it's the neck of teenage mutant ninitahtles to secut to Ooze
- 16:55signed by super Shredder Kevin Nash. Now I used purple. Brian said I
- 16:59should have green. Yep, I agree with the green. It's okay,
- 17:02but it's cool. What are you gonna do with that brusky? I want
- 17:06to display it? But now I'm thinking, okay, it's pullus closure.
- 17:08It's Monday night. Can I get one off eBay ship to Wisconsin by Friday?
- 17:15You have to get it right now, live on there, but it'd
- 17:18be risky if it will get there though, but it technically has still Saturday.
- 17:25But still if I buy it tomorrow at they ship at Wednesday. Why
- 17:30do you want one? Because now I kind of want one in green?
- 17:33Do you you just want one or the other? Yeah? And then I
- 17:36would sell this one. Okay, I got I got a deal for you.
- 17:38I got a deal for you folks, live deal I in Wisconsin right
- 17:44now? Yeah, have two super Shredders. I have the that one and
- 17:48I also have the variant. Okay, okay, I uh was going to
- 17:53get these signed, right. I'm going to keep the variant for myself right,
- 17:59and I was going to gift the signed super Shredder to a friend.
- 18:03Of mine. If you want, you can have mine. That's unsigned.
- 18:08If you give me that one, so I can give it to my friend
- 18:11even trade now, yours mine's like could not be more mint. I guess
- 18:15you'll have to check it. I haven't seen it. I had it,
- 18:18ship, I had it. I bought it and had a ship there.
- 18:23That's a risk. That's a big risk because I'm not gonna see Wait a
- 18:27minute, I hear what you're saying. Wait, let's FaceTime Dylan right now.
- 18:33How did I I don't trust him. I don't want to touch.
- 18:38How did I get it? If you bought it? Oh, bro,
- 18:44it's the one. I never even took it out of the box. It
- 18:48came in that package from your personal one. So that automatically has this bubble.
- 18:56Yeah it's good. Okay, I'm all for that deal. But pending
- 19:00it's in great shape. Okay, Okay, I never even looked. I
- 19:03never even took it out of the box. Okay, So this is a
- 19:06funny story. This is that's so brosky story. I was like, listen,
- 19:11I was in such like a I was just flustered by the whole Wrestlaican
- 19:15experience. It was great. I had a great time. I can't wait
- 19:18for next year when it's going to be even bigger. But then like uh
- 19:22Dallas, Marko Josh from High Spots on Mere Hego, he comes over and
- 19:30I'm giving them all these figures. It is my bad. I did not
- 19:33clarify. I told him, I said, I don't want Hall of Fame
- 19:37on anything. I told him that, I said, I want the Diesel
- 19:40to say Diesel no Hall of Fame. Yeah, but I did not.
- 19:42I have the bootleg I w c Diesel figure what everyone thought was Diesel for
- 19:48years. I got it at Jack that blogs up on YouTube. I didn't
- 19:52specify to him. I thought it was pretty obvious that I wanted this as
- 19:55Diesel. Yeah, but I didn't specify. So it's my bad. So
- 19:57we came back with as Kevin Nash, and I was like crushed, heartbroken,
- 20:03and but you know what's his credit. I told him how heartbroken I
- 20:07was. I blamed myself. He went back and he got it as Diesel
- 20:08also, so now I'm cool with it. Diesel's on there and Kevin Nash,
- 20:11so now it's cool. I like that at this point where you put
- 20:15that I'm not figure that figure could be Kevin Nash. Yeah, that's why
- 20:21I that's why I'm cool with it being both right because technically, yeah,
- 20:23I mean, let's be honest here, every diesel figure is Kevin Nash right.
- 20:29There's no like trucker thing on it, so it could be right but
- 20:32right and that bootleg Kevin ash Right. And for years everyone thought this was
- 20:34the diesel head. I proved it's not because I have the real diesel head.
- 20:38But I also want to talk about my pride and joy. This one
- 20:42I got personally like this listen. I love Big keV, I love Scott
- 20:48Hall, I love Ricky Steamboat. I wasn't gonna go to their table with
- 20:52the figures. I just wasn't, you know, like, and I knew,
- 20:53I knew they both, all three of them, would be cool about
- 20:56it. I actually saw Demalenko and Rickiy steam about the day before and I
- 21:00told Ricky I was gonna come over and get figured out by you. He
- 21:02was all cool back. But then like at the end of the day,
- 21:03I just I Wrestla Khan like the way it is. This year, it
- 21:07was like a two hour session of break, two hour session of break,
- 21:10so in that two hours, I want to be at my table making money.
- 21:12Yeah, I mean I don't. I don't want to be walking around
- 21:15getting signature. That's why you have good brothers like Josh Right exactly so.
- 21:19But I needed uh one two three kid, I needed xbox Shaw Waltman,
- 21:23and he was only there for one session, so I had to go do
- 21:26it live with myself. And what I got signed. You've heard the story
- 21:30a million times here, I'm a broken record. Nineteen ninety five Christmas.
- 21:33I save this figure for last. I think it's one two three kid figure.
- 21:37It's San Francisco toy maker Jimmy hart Ruin's my Christmas Christmas. This is
- 21:44ninety five years go by, three years go by. I finally save up
- 21:48enough money. I'm trading in beer cans whatever. How much? What probably
- 21:52seventy five bucks or forty five bucks? Oh oh no, oh no,
- 21:56maybe maybe I bought bought it for seventy five, That's what I'm saying.
- 21:59Like around. I remember thinking like, I'll never own that figure, it's
- 22:00too expensive. Seven I went to seven to eleven, got the money order,
- 22:06sent it in and it came, and I remember I had like a
- 22:07crease on the top. I was like, no, but this figure I
- 22:11kept Mino. I thought it was like a million dollars. I really thought
- 22:12it was a million dollars. And then as years have gone by, I've
- 22:15gotten a loose one. Now I have another Minion card one, but this
- 22:18one was always on display in my Hazbark collection for the sentimental value. And
- 22:23I'm not a signed figure guy, but figure, you know what, if
- 22:26I get any figure signed, it's this one. So I went and I
- 22:30got the one to three kid, he's heard the story before another podcast.
- 22:33I told him I was coming with it. A fan actually captured the moment.
- 22:37I got a picture with him afterwards. It's really cool. And I
- 22:40was asking you, KANICKI, what color? I didn't like any of your
- 22:42choices. I think the yellow is the good one. For the green,
- 22:48that's one that I think There's multiple options, and I'm gonna get into that
- 22:49maybe in a little bit, but yeah, I mean yellow looks great for
- 22:55some reason. The green cards I've been wanting in like neon pink, but
- 22:57I mean it doesn't really to me. I like, yell, I means
- 23:02only wrong would be like tan or like right. Yeah, I mean I
- 23:07guess to me, I wouldn't want pink because there's no, like pink on
- 23:10the box or in the gear at all. That's like Brian's philosophy. That's
- 23:14not that. And I guess that's the beauty of collecting and getting autographs.
- 23:18It's like your personal preference. Yeah, totally. Like my friend Nick collects
- 23:22farm card brass Bros. My friend who was with me couldn't understand why I
- 23:26was so upset that it was Kevin Nash not Diesel, and I was trying
- 23:30to explain. He's like, well, wouldn't you want Kevin Nash on all
- 23:33of them because that's real name? Like, no, what is that defender
- 23:37that doesn't fit? This is uh, this is the old school, the
- 23:41solo world whoa remember those got a ring side? It fit like a glove.
- 23:45There's like all that room there really Yeah, huh, I guess I
- 23:51don't have any ringside defenders from my hasbros. All solo worlds oh, from
- 23:56that guy's collection, they were all solo World. Yeah. But even this
- 24:00I bought years ago, was like there was no ring rings not only made
- 24:03these for the retros, which are bad. I don't believe even lead with
- 24:08that. Wow, we have a lot to talk about. Let's let's round
- 24:12out this autograph figure. Uh, you know segment that we've kind of done
- 24:18impromptu here. I saw a close personal friend of mine last night and I
- 24:23couldn't let Mark Fortell be the only one to have one of these. So
- 24:27now I too have a Chase m j F jazz Wear Series two, a
- 24:41w autographed action figure. God, that's beautiful. I think now we're talking
- 24:47only we think only three in the world, right Mark, I love it?
- 24:49Yeah, I think that's what I'm saying. It's so rare. Let
- 24:52me tell you, can I well something? I still have an unsigned one,
- 24:56so I have both. Now that's the only reason I did this.
- 24:57For the people that are going, hey, you said, that's why I
- 25:00did it. Let me let me mention this. You also have to sit
- 25:04him down like a puppy dog and be like, look, this is what
- 25:07you're doing. I do I write that, Do not shake the paint pen,
- 25:10do not push on it. It's it's crazy, all right. So
- 25:12in the group like a month ago, I sold six MGF figures signed by
- 25:18him, and I was very excited about this. I thought people would be
- 25:25thrilled because he doesn't do signings. I did not. I was not aware
- 25:29he was literally that week doing the signings for High Spots. They had multiple
- 25:36signed MGF figures already being pre sold on their website for half the price that
- 25:42I put in the group. But I think that people, I think that
- 25:47you know, he uh, maybe didn't try that hard on those high Spots
- 25:52ones because people were a little upset. But mine were beautiful. And the
- 25:57guy people that bought my the week later got a certificate of authenticity laminated by
- 26:03me, signed by me, plus goodies with a beautiful MGS signature, probably
- 26:11one of the best you'll find. I'm planning with this, we could tell
- 26:12him what to do where it's like dudes running a signing don't know how to
- 26:15deal with him. And yeah, on a personal level, yeah, that's
- 26:19definitely a plus. All right, guys, welcome to a bonus episode.
- 26:34I don't really know what this is called, kind of my my Wrestle Cohn
- 26:40Weekend Experience. I guess I have a special guest, CWF Superstar. He
- 26:48was fired from WTW after one match for unprofessional conduct that that was allegedly it's
- 26:56not the Rock, but it's Low Rock. Anthony. Welcome to the show.
- 27:03Thank you, thank you making my podcast debut here. I know you've
- 27:07been saying you wanted to maybe start a podcast, So this is it.
- 27:11I mean, there's there's the recorder, there's a zoom you record into that,
- 27:15you take the chip, you put into the computer, you upload it,
- 27:18you have someone edit it. It's a hard work, it's it's it's
- 27:22a lot of hard work rock. I'm hoping for a ton of negative reviews
- 27:25from this podcast to make sure I don't really put this bild this Patreon only
- 27:30so not the masses will listen. But the reason you're here today is because
- 27:34you were with me for Wrestle Khan. I want to hear your perspective.
- 27:38We had two days there. I flee you down. I needed somebody to,
- 27:42you know, be the money man, because this is my first wrestle
- 27:45Khan. I knew it wasn't gonna be as crazy as previous years, but
- 27:49I still didn't know what to expect. And I'm glad you were there to
- 27:53take the money because once there's more than two people in a line, it's
- 27:56very hecky. Yeah, and there's only a couple of times when there would
- 28:00be a bunch of people in the line at one time because they tried spreading
- 28:03everybody out and had everybody in different rooms. But it was definitely a new
- 28:08experience. Yeah, so the the night before you helped me. I rolled
- 28:15up all these T shirts, taped them up, put the sizes on them.
- 28:19I brought probably close to one hundred T shirts to wrestle. We sold
- 28:25three or four I think it was three. I think it was three T
- 28:30shirts and four headbands. Okay, I did wear one of the shirts and
- 28:37sold that, so I count that as the fourth. You should have probably
- 28:40could have charged an extra five dollars for it if you were well. I
- 28:42charged a lot extra actually, Okay. So so wrestle Con what it is.
- 28:47It's almost like a comic con the WW axis if you're familiar with that.
- 28:52But this is wrestle kan last year. It was canceled this year due
- 28:56to the social distancing in the pandemic. It was wildly different from anything I
- 29:00could imagine. Everyone was in like I guess, separate rooms if you will,
- 29:06So you're walking around like a It was like a hotel lobby, but
- 29:10then there's like different like boardrooms. There wasn't a big convention halt like it
- 29:14usually is. Yeah, even in the main room there was only three people
- 29:18there then they divided it that and you had to go through a different door
- 29:22for another three Yeah. So the setup was a bit wonky, but you
- 29:26know, it's better this than nothing. So the first day I get to
- 29:29my room, I'm in there with two other tables, so I set up
- 29:33my own spread, and the other table is Galles Anderson, who aren't there
- 29:37they're at the other convention, and then Christian who had to cancel. So
- 29:41I'm in there all by myself, which was a blessing in disguise because I'm
- 29:45not a very friendly person. I don't want to listen. I love like
- 29:48Dean Malenko, but I don't want to be in a room with Dean Malanco
- 29:52for eight hours. Well it's tough to be in a room with anybody for
- 29:56eight hours, right, especially that type of the thing. So the first
- 30:00session, you know, we knew it was gonna be a little slower,
- 30:04but we made decent chunk of change. And for the record, I told
- 30:07her that give him ten ten percent of all my earnings. Uh oh,
- 30:15we're recording a podcast. WHOA you just charge in here like you're like someth
- 30:21like something bad happened? Made what happened? Okay? You want to say,
- 30:23how to the major marks or Coronto's not on pat Run. He can't
- 30:26fire you for this. You're not technically on your yours in the background.
- 30:30Now the cats are in babe. Look what are you doing here? This
- 30:33is live. Anything could happen live on page Run. Oh. By the
- 30:36way, Anthony is afraid of all animals. So now we have babe Waffles
- 30:41is in here. That's the problem, Babe. Is he in here?
- 30:47Chelse? Chelsea? All right, guys, this is live. Anything could
- 30:52happened here in here. He loves rubbing up against my leg. And uh,
- 31:02just so, your boy Matt was so big, such big time that
- 31:06he got his own room. They gave him his own room out in the
- 31:08corner and it actually had air conditioning. This is what a great first pod,
- 31:15Chelsea. I'm professional. Now the cat's in here. It's it's just
- 31:18pure chaos. This is and cats. This is great together. Waffles,
- 31:23I'm sorry, buddy, I love you. You can't stay here today.
- 31:26You can't stay here today. All right, very professional here on the main
- 31:33in the restaurant podcast, Major Pod Network. But we keep it lying,
- 31:36we keep it candid for everybody. Uh yeah, first, that's how you
- 31:41know I'm a very very important guest that they really secured the investment. So
- 31:47before we get into it, like I said, first wrestle Khan, So
- 31:51I'm being asked, hold on my Rock is grabbing like this very rare Manchuman
- 31:55figure. I don't want him touching this. I'm moving it out of his
- 31:56hands. So this is my first wrestle Con. I got my own table.
- 32:01So I'm like essentially vendoring myself, taking a chance on myself, which
- 32:07is fine. And it's just a drive, all right. So I'm not
- 32:09flying all this merch down and all these extra check bags. I'm just driving
- 32:14hour and a half. So the first wrestle Con session, now they split
- 32:17into sessions this year because of how now that's a warm PBR. He's reaching
- 32:22for that warm You don't drink that warm PBR? Can I have it warm?
- 32:25Crack that open to the mic. If you really look at they won't
- 32:28to hear it, guys, major PBR. Rock is drinking the PBR that's
- 32:34from my set. He's drinking it piss warm PBR. God good. All
- 32:40right. So anyway, there's sessions like nine to eleven, they take a
- 32:45little break. I guess clean everything up twelve to two, another break three
- 32:50to five for day one. So I'm figuring, Okay, nine o'clock that
- 32:53is way too early for me to wake up in Orlando and drive there.
- 33:00So we go Thursday night, and of course I say I'm always ready,
- 33:05but my merch is all over the house, in the garage and the office
- 33:07in the spare closet. Filled the car with all the merch. We drive
- 33:12to Tampa. We get to the Weston and it's the it's the other Western
- 33:17What the wrong WestEd? What at the wrog wrestl Cod Hotel. So I'm
- 33:22like, oh no. And now at this point we know we automatically going
- 33:25to lose an hour of sleep over this, because I call up Josh from
- 33:30High Spots. He meets me in the lobby. He tells me, oh,
- 33:34you're the other lobby, you're the rug Weston. And then he tells
- 33:37me like, so I'm thinking, oh, if it's nine o'clock, I'll
- 33:39get in there at like eight forty five. He's telling me to like come
- 33:44around seven ish for loaded. I'm like seven ish, Like, yeah,
- 33:46my god, too early. In retrospect, it was a little too early,
- 33:51but I'm glad we didn't come into eight forty five. Because we did,
- 33:52we didn't need time to set up eat. So anyway, next morning
- 33:55we wake up, we drive to twenty minutes to the other Restlican the other
- 33:59West, and it's couldn't be easier. We just valet for like fifteen Bucks
- 34:04and we take the luggage cart and wheel all our stuff in. It was
- 34:06so easy with the Starbucks set up. First session was great. Weird setup
- 34:12were kind of like, it's like, was this a bathroom? Was this
- 34:15a room with somebody in its signing? It's like a weird where we were
- 34:21room? You, Yeah, we were in. Yeah, we were like
- 34:22over in the corner. You really had to like, no, the room
- 34:25was there. So basically everybody that was coming in in the first couple of
- 34:30sessions were people looking for you specifically anyway, right, So we did pretty
- 34:35good. So the way it works is like there's an autograph, a photo
- 34:38op, and a combo. So I was like, well, I don't
- 34:40know what my prices should be. So I went on the wrestlic On website
- 34:44to compare what everyone else was doing, and I saw that Colin Nash Christian,
- 34:49a lot of the legends were doing. I believe they're doing forty forty
- 34:52sixty. I'm like, ah, I don't want to. I'm not gonna
- 34:55compete here with Kevin Nash. I'm not on their level. I do I'll
- 34:58do thirty thirty fifty. And it ended up a lot of people got those
- 35:00combos, the combo. I think almost everybody got a combo. Yeah,
- 35:07so what how it works? Like I printed out a bunch of eight by
- 35:09ten's, Like there's an Edgeheads one US Title one, ICEE Title one tag
- 35:15Team with Brian one and then the current one and I print them those all
- 35:20out. Well, I didn't do it, I had someone professionally do it.
- 35:22And then if you pay the thirty bucks, you get to pick one
- 35:24of those or you're as signed item and take a picture. So it all
- 35:28worked. That was fun. Then session two we well, first it was
- 35:34like it's weird, Like I guess not weird for me, but like we're
- 35:37in the Starbucks line, like Jake the Snake is behind us. Yeah,
- 35:40like you know we're going to get lunch at the breaking like Brutus beefcakes going
- 35:45right to the bar looking straight from Batman returns. He looked like the penguin
- 35:52for Batman returns brutus brother, you need to eat right. Uh. Session
- 35:58two a little slower, a little slower in the money department, but it
- 36:04was fine. It's fun to meet the fans, especially like the diehard fans.
- 36:09You could tell if they're like wearing your merch or they got like the
- 36:14major pod like foam titles. That was cool. A lot of people you
- 36:16could tell like have no idea what I'm doing currently, which is fine.
- 36:21They're like, oh, you're still wrestling, or you know, I used
- 36:23to love YouTube. Joe. I'm like, oh, I have a podcast
- 36:24about it, Like, oh you do. Even Lacy von Eric walked in,
- 36:28she said who are you? I'm like, who are you? I
- 36:30mean, I knew who she was, but I couldn't put that over.
- 36:31I have no idea who she was. I'll tell you that much. But
- 36:36then the second session, I think Ace Austin and rich Swana the second session,
- 36:42maybe they're the third session. Yeah, there the second session, which
- 36:45is fine. Rich Swan just like starts like playing electric guitar, which is
- 36:50kind of yeah. I didn't know what was going on that he got like
- 36:53one of those double guitars in one and with the two sets of strange and
- 36:57he just started playing guitar. Yeah, I was hope for a little mini
- 37:00concert to get more foot traffic. And then we had what was it Ace
- 37:05Austin his stone Colds nephew or something. Is that Anthony didn't understand. Uh.
- 37:10I tried to explain, he's not stone Call's nephew. Uh. But
- 37:14then we had another another break. I got some sushi and then that's where
- 37:17I saw Demonleco Rickey Steamboat shot the ship with them for a little bit.
- 37:22I love seeing those guys. Ricky Steamboat look good, he looked great and
- 37:25had him like, hey, you have some great hair. What where?
- 37:28What doctor did you use? And and what's his number? Yeah, the
- 37:32dragons got to take it. I don't think he wanted to give away secrets.
- 37:37So so Brian and Kannick. You don't know Kannick, but they both
- 37:39collicked. Signed Hasbro's Connick, your Steamboat is on a French card. I
- 37:44can't believe you do French cards. But I had to get those signed by
- 37:46Ricky Steamboat. I didn't do it. I got Josh and Hiet supposed to
- 37:52do it. But they're they're signed paint pan, white paint pen. So
- 37:53that was that russell Con. First day was cool. We took a little
- 37:57break ski and then we did the first ever talking shop a Mania, which
- 38:01was a shit show, but a fun shit show. I was there for
- 38:07quite a few hours, and then once Gallos went to his third outfit change,
- 38:12I said, okay, enough, it is enough. I don't need
- 38:14to stay here for the entire show. I left. I tried to rack
- 38:19up a big bill, because when we had a live show, they racked
- 38:22up a ridiculous bill on my tab, but there were no oysters at this
- 38:27bar for me to do it. But it was cool and I can't wait
- 38:30to do a talking shop slash major pod live show in the near future.
- 38:37Anthony got a little too drunk, a little too many PBRs. That is
- 38:42all about the Ivy Beholder. I don't know if it was too drunk or
- 38:47not drunk enough. Okay, that's fair. Bill Alfonso was there, Chavo
- 38:53Guerrero was there, Bam Neely, a little La Familia reunion was there.
- 38:59It was fun. I told myself I wasn't going to drink. I drank
- 39:01a lot a lot of that that talker shop. Red Wine had some one
- 39:07of those high noons travel Guerrero was h here they are, bro, you
- 39:10were like hanging out with him. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 39:15yeah. That was awesome. That was a good time. Oh man,
- 39:17Jesus Christ. Uh So the next morning was a little rough waking up
- 39:22for a wrestler cod but we knew we didn't have to get there super early
- 39:25this time, right, we knew it started at nine. We left all
- 39:29our stuff, but even like in between sessions, I left all myself,
- 39:32but I still took my backpack with the internet title was I wasn't. I
- 39:37wasn't trusting that. And then when we left the first day, we left
- 39:40all our stuff, but I took all the figures. God forbid, if
- 39:44someone steals one of my shirts, who cares. But if someone seals a
- 39:45one two three kid has Bro, I'd be pissed. Took the figures whatever.
- 39:50Day two we go back. Now I don't know what was up with
- 39:52the room or what, like, just the AC was not kicking in,
- 39:58and I knew I was hot. Didn't realize how hot I was because Anthony's
- 40:02like, bro, you're sweating through your shirt. And I didn't like realize
- 40:05because I was just getting up and down taking pictures. I legit sweat sweated.
- 40:08Is that a word sweated? I think, uh sweated through my shirt?
- 40:14Yeah, bro, it was like sweating. I was sweating, Yeah,
- 40:16and I had sweat through my shirt. I was wearing a gray coloring
- 40:20elbow shirt robbed from Colernde Elbow jump Shop dropped up a bunch of major potch
- 40:25stuff. It was a gray one. I thought it was part of the
- 40:29design, this sweat and cool like affliction shirt I couldn't afford. So I
- 40:36was like, WHOA, that shirt's cool. No, No, I was
- 40:37legit sweating through it. I had to do a wardrobe change. Luckily,
- 40:40I'm always ready had another coloring elbow shirt. But this time we were joined
- 40:45by Mash and Thrash of the Headbangers, who whom Anthony later confessed he did
- 40:50not know that they were in the WF. I had forgot it. You
- 40:53were a big like fan during the attitude where I can't believe he didn't know
- 40:55that. Yeah, I don't know how I forgot that. I was looking
- 41:01them up afterwards and they look exactly the same. I probably remember something like
- 41:06that, but somehow I just completely forgot that whole gimmick in that whole year
- 41:13Marshall Thresher totally cool. Like you said, they look exactly the same.
- 41:15So I think that's like, you know, guys, I get it.
- 41:19It's like life age. A lot of these guys they don't look how they
- 41:22did in the eighties and nineties, and why should they. That was twenty
- 41:24thirty years ago. But the head bangers look exactly the same. You know
- 41:28what it is, it's they probably got big the same year you fired me
- 41:31from WTW. I just stopped watching wrestling. I believe it's I believe it's
- 41:37summer two thousands that you're fired. Yeah, you and a Dreamer, not
- 41:43Tommy Dreamer. But fate wasn't no, not fate. Fame, remembers Dan
- 41:47Balker. Fame, Yeah, fame, he'd come out. Well, what
- 41:52happened was he was he was fame in CWF and then I wanted him to
- 41:55be fame in WTW. He wanted to be more serious, more hardcore.
- 41:59Think went by Dreamer and you guys just had a Your match was the Ships
- 42:02and you guys, he was my first match on a trampoline. Yeah,
- 42:07I'm more of a hard I remember. You guys were making a lot of
- 42:09doing a lot of unprofessional things backstage because a lot of chaos. So I
- 42:13fired your asses. Whoa, I think you're just trying to set the tone.
- 42:20Yeah, So that day two was great and then Galas and Anderson came.
- 42:24Uh, Frankie Kassa was there. You're my Frankie. You know you,
- 42:29Frankie think are like you frank your brothers from another mother. I apparently
- 42:35I'm If Frankie gets things done, then then I'm gonna be the Frankie of
- 42:39the group. Fucking Laser paints his face everywhere he goes. He set up
- 42:43a gimmick table. Uh. I don't think he sold one thing, but
- 42:45good for Laser for trying. But day two was great. And then day
- 42:50two I tried to walk around a lot because I had a mission. I
- 42:52had a mission we talked about in the pod last week, is that I
- 42:55needed. I'm not a big signed guy. I'm not into signed figure years
- 43:00because like, where do you draw the line? So I knew I wanted
- 43:05my Super Shredder signed by Kevin Nash because I knew Kevinash is gonna be there.
- 43:09I knew I wanted my bootleg Diesel figure signed by Diesel or Kevin Nash
- 43:14and I just got the series one bone Crunchers, and I wanted Razor and
- 43:17Diesel to sign it. So Josh from High Spots. First he gets the
- 43:21steamboats done great, then he gets the Razor done great, and then he
- 43:24gets the Diesel done. And I didn't specify exactly what I wanted. So
- 43:30the Diesel says the Diesel. Bone Crunter says, Diesel perfect, super Shredder,
- 43:35Supershredder, Kevin Nash perfect. But then the Diesel bootleg he signed is
- 43:37Kevin Nash. I was like, no, like Darth Vader drop news knees,
- 43:43No, I don't get it. What like, what's the big deal?
- 43:46Kevin Nash is like, that's the real guy's name. So it feels
- 43:50like you got it a next level autograph. I was trying to explain this
- 43:53fourth wall. I was trying to explain this to you, Like, if
- 43:55it's a wrestling thing, like for zach Ryder eight by tens, I'll or
- 44:00a zach Ryder figure. I'll sign a zach Ryder. If it's Matt Cardona,
- 44:02Matt Cardona, I don't like to mix because as a fan, I
- 44:07wouldn't want that. But anyway, long story short, I got with Joshua
- 44:12High Spots, went back and got Diesel to sign it as Diesel as well,
- 44:15so I have both, which is cool. But I also brought my
- 44:17Hasbro one two three kid. I'm sure I'll talk about some in the pods.
- 44:22I don't want to, you know, tell the same story twice.
- 44:23Long story short. My first ever eBay purchase, I went up to him
- 44:27personally, I got it signed. Really cool moment. I got in a
- 44:30yellow Pasca paint pen. Now what about those paint pens? Rock? They
- 44:32were? They were a big hit. Like everybody that came up to our
- 44:36table mentioned the paint pat That's right, paint pens are the that's it.
- 44:39You can't do sharpie's. E C three didn't even bring a Sharpie. E
- 44:43C three also was handing out these flyers that we're gonna fight each other.
- 44:46He's just a weird cat. I don't know what that is, but it
- 44:52was. It was a fun little week in my first wrestled con. We
- 44:54left for some cast, some cold hard cash. I'm definitely a thousand dollars
- 44:58Broski tie a couple times a few after this week, and then I paid
- 45:04Anthony in some cash. I bought him some food, so and you you
- 45:07know, you helped me out big time, so I appreciate it. And
- 45:09then Anthony's trying to pitch me on. Oh you know, next time there's
- 45:13a rust of town, you should have set up in the Starbucks across the
- 45:15street. Across the street, get all them, you know, if they
- 45:17don't want to give you a free table, then you go set up across
- 45:22the street. Now, uh, A full disclosure. Chiappetta was gonna come
- 45:25for the weekend. He did not. He did not. I'm actually I'm
- 45:30listen. I missed Guippetta. It's probably for the best he wasn't here because
- 45:34I can only babysit one person at a time, so the babysit you and
- 45:37Ghippetta. That would have been too tough. It would have come in handy
- 45:40if he was there. Though, a couple of times when a couple of
- 45:44people were lingering a little too long and he could have like talked to them
- 45:49and they would have just ran away. It was like, where is this
- 45:52going? Where is this going? All right? So real quick, you
- 45:58were around for the z Drooling Island story. You're I'm not saying you're the
- 46:02man behind the scenes, but you were there for a lot of the stuff
- 46:05behind the scenes. Uh, you're actually on camera twice. I thought it
- 46:07was once, but it was twice twice. One time you're the guy who
- 46:13Big O throws over the boardwalk, which is a hell of a fall.
- 46:15Yeah, I took it. I took it like a champ. He took
- 46:19it like a chap. And then you you remind me you're also in the
- 46:22Marshmallow Bank costume for that Ghostbuster skit. Yeah. I don't remember that skit
- 46:28at all. I just remember putting on the costume and there's like a fan
- 46:31or something, yeah, panting. Yeah, it's a fan to make it,
- 46:35you know, appure like fluffy and yeah, yeah, well you did
- 46:37a hell of a job as stay puffed, congratulations and and uh, you
- 46:40know, the scene would be running away from the boardwalk to the to the
- 46:46ocean. I like begged you to just film it, and you said you
- 46:51wouldn't use it. You thought it was stupid, and then you ended up
- 46:52putting it in. You're like the whole episode. You're like a modern day
- 46:57scores. I used to you know, I used to I used to watch
- 47:01loss and I thought I was a director, So I used to bother you
- 47:05a lot about that stuff. Well, I mean, right now, we're
- 47:07sitting in pay per view chairs. Do you remember the legendary story when you
- 47:13stole the Rumble two thousand pay per view chairs? Do you remember that?
- 47:16Yeah? I stole them. Well, I snuck down to the Royal Rumble.
- 47:22I forget what it was, the Royal Rumble where there was like a
- 47:24bikini contesters. Yes, yes, Royal ub two thousand MSG. Yeah,
- 47:29and we stole uh well we took we took the chairs that we were sitting
- 47:32in, but those weren't your seats. Well we didn't pay for the seats,
- 47:36no, but we you know, we we accumulated related the seats.
- 47:44I was so jealous when you had those chairs. It's like possessions is nine
- 47:46tenths to the law or something. Yeah. I watched my cousin Vinnie.
- 47:50He said it was okay, shit, Uh, you're always looking for that
- 47:55that scheme rock. Well those who were now now everybody's got the chairs.
- 48:00I was a trend set, you know. I was doing it before it's
- 48:04cool. You were stealing the chairs before steel the chairs of school. Yeah,
- 48:07like they had just come out. I was like, this is a
- 48:08nice chair. Why would Why wouldn't do you think they clipped him? Oh?
- 48:12Yeah, his breaking Oh I was gonna ask because now I wasn't sure
- 48:15if they did that. In the early days, they're like zip tie together.
- 48:19Yeah, it was like zip tide and you just had like a pocket
- 48:22knife on you. I don't know what we had. It wasn't a pocket
- 48:23knife. I think we used keys. So we were determined. We started
- 48:27before the main event to try to get them loose, okay, and we
- 48:30were able to do it. Now now not okay, not stealing, but
- 48:34I think that possession is nine tenths of law. Tell us about that story
- 48:37when your your older brother found Taz's cell phone in the w F New York
- 48:44at like one of those after parts. Oh yeah, I actually he used
- 48:46to be on the fan, so I would try to call his show sometimes
- 48:50and try to get through and let him know about it. He never he
- 48:52never put me through that. I don't know. Are you friends with him,
- 48:57Kaz? Yeah, he was kind of like a dick when so he's
- 49:01at a ww restaurant or WWF restaurant whatever, and I guess he The story
- 49:07goes My older brother said that Taz dropped his phone and my brother picked it
- 49:12up and instead of giving it back to Taz, well he said, Taz
- 49:15wasn't wasn't still there. He walked away very fast. He's a busy guy.
- 49:20He was probably going somewhere. But anyway, he took the phone home,
- 49:22and we had like everybody's phone number, like everybody's phone. I remember
- 49:27you guys like had the numbers like on like a piece of loose leaf paper,
- 49:30and like you would like sell people the numbers and stuff like that.
- 49:34I don't think we sold everybody the numbers. I remember like you reguarded that
- 49:39thing, like you wouldn't just tell anybody, like someone had to do something
- 49:42good for you to give him a number. Yeah. I didn't want it
- 49:45to get ruined, you know. I didn't want too many people to call
- 49:46and they would definitely change the phone numbers again, changed his voicemailt like yo
- 49:52this triple h. Yeah, you know back in the day when you just
- 49:54play play their message against your recording. Uh. And then I remember one
- 49:59time we called Taz. He called back and like threatened us, and we
- 50:02all like ran out of your house. I was so scared. First,
- 50:07my older brother called called him and said he wanted to give him back his
- 50:10phone, and Taz was like he was it wasn't nice about it. He
- 50:15goes just go drop it off, blah blah blah. If you don't drop
- 50:20it off, I'm gonna come to your house and like beat the ship out
- 50:22of you whatever. Instead of just like I think my brother would wanted to
- 50:27just meet him and give him to give him back the phone, right,
- 50:29the phone that he stole. He wanted to give it back. Yeah,
- 50:30exactly. You know, you get some credit for doing the right thing.
- 50:34But if not. Anyway, we had everybody's phone numbers. I remember,
- 50:37you were the go to guy. If if we didn't know who somebody was,
- 50:42you knew their real name. Oh that's right, was in there?
- 50:45Yeah I was. I was the big Mark, so I knew all the
- 50:50real names. You know what I'm saying. But I wish we still had
- 50:53that loose sleep people. Let's let's not talk about illegal activity. Let's let's
- 50:58bring it back to the weekend rest con fun week. What was what are
- 51:01like? This is you're not really around wrestling fads, So what was your
- 51:06outsider's perspective looking in some of these these fads? I'll tell you, as
- 51:10expected, they were. They were all in tremendous shape with great tans,
- 51:16and these are the major marks you're talking about. I know. That's why
- 51:22I think we gotta we gotta get you. Uh, I don't know.
- 51:27I don't know what to tell you. I was surprised that the lack of
- 51:31shape that they were in. I had just lost fifteen pounds and I felt
- 51:37like I really should have put on fifteen pounds after that event. There weren't
- 51:43that many here. Yeah, I'm hoping for a lot of hate online.
- 51:49Well you're probably gonna get it. Just I think my Twitter is Uncle tone
- 51:52five, so just give me a following and hate on me. Oh my.
- 51:55But but everybody was generally nice. No, everyone was super nice,
- 52:00really cool experience. I always love meeting the fans, especially like if you
- 52:05could sell, like which ones were just at Wrestle Khan for the experience and
- 52:09then they ended up meeting you, and then you could tell which ones actually
- 52:13came for me, whether they're wearing the shirt or have something for me to
- 52:15sign special, so that I always try to give those people extra attention,
- 52:20you know, if they're like they they brought this rare figure, they're wearing
- 52:22the shirt. It was like a father and son had the major pod Foam
- 52:27titles. I love that. So it was cool and it was cool to
- 52:30you know, hang out with the head Bangers all day. I still want
- 52:34to work a tag team match Brian and I versus the Headbangers. That would
- 52:38be a good match. Well, I don't know if it'll be. You
- 52:42know, it'll definitely funny. Are you like feuding with him now on Impact?
- 52:45Well, thanks for watching the product. Yeah, I appreciate that you're
- 52:49not watching the product. I watch what I can, I watch what I
- 52:53can. Well, so what do you think about this whole podcast? Like
- 52:57you seem comfortable in the mic. I think you're gonna start a little show,
- 53:00do you think? I think so? Maybe in a couple of months,
- 53:04I got a test coming up for some other bullshit. After that,
- 53:07i'll, uh, I'm gonna try to start something. Maybe maybe you and
- 53:13and Uh and Frankie can do a podcast about being minions. What do you
- 53:16think? I mean? Hopefully I can get you some uh some ads and
- 53:21actually become an official Minion. Well, I thought you any any ad you
- 53:24get me, I'll get you twenty. Well, how you guys don't have
- 53:29a paint a paint pen sponsorship yet from some companies, that's just the lack
- 53:34of vision. Who helped you out, He's not putting in his due diligence.
- 53:39That is fair. I would say our own line of paint pins would
- 53:43be pretty damn cool. It's a no brainer because you got guys that are
- 53:46going to becoming an autograph signings all over the place, and you convinced them
- 53:52all that paint pens are better, and they probably are better. They are,
- 53:54so they're gonna buy paint pens. Might as well give you some,
- 53:57I will say it. That's a smart idea. It is major paint pens.
- 54:00I like where your head's at. It's it's a no brainer. I'm
- 54:02gonna get that done, get my get my taste. Well, I mean
- 54:07we're almost at the thirty minute mark. Uh, any any last remarks or
- 54:12comments for the major marks that they're listening. This is you know, where
- 54:15should they find? Should they? Should they even bother? Following you on
- 54:17social media? Yeah, I'm on I'm on the Twitter. Oh yeah at
- 54:22Uncle Tone five. I got a picture of myself on there. Oh wow,
- 54:28so I'm pretty big there. I think usually I get about two likes
- 54:30and one from me and once from my robot account. So you have you
- 54:36have a robot account. Uh yeah, not yet, I have a robot
- 54:40account on Instagram. But well I I I do thank you for you know,
- 54:45not vomiting on my carpet yet. Yeah, well please don't. When
- 54:51I first my first ever apartment, uh, we went out drinking, Anthony
- 54:54decided to puke on the brand new carpet. Uh. And then instead of
- 54:58like picking up, he said, just like rub into the carpet. He
- 55:00then went to the kitchen garbage can. The puka there, but let's not
- 55:07let's not get this this garbage bag dirty. So takes the bag out of
- 55:09the can and the brand new can. I know you don't like throwing out
- 55:15the trash, so I didn't want to fill up the garbage bag. Yeah,
- 55:17well I appreciate that, Anthony. So next time we're at Wrestle Coan,
- 55:21I'll bring you down. You know, it's not it's not really cost
- 55:23efficient to bring it down to every convention. But if I'm solo, we
- 55:27can we can bring you down. You know, Yeah, it sounds good.
- 55:30I'd be down. I basically cover the cover the flight and stuff.
- 55:34Got a free vacation out of it, so I'll take it. Yeah,
- 55:37well, Anthony, thank you very much for being on this special edition,
- 55:39this Major Pod Network special edition, all the Patreon major marks. I'm sure
- 55:44really gonna love. Uh you know that you were talking about their physiques.
- 55:47Well, you guys should come up with calling it a toy and it's really
- 55:52just a treadmill. Oh my b Major Fitness shallteidding you guys having the best
- 55:57fans, you should have the Major Fit You should be in the Main Fitness
- 56:00Challenge. Baby, you just eat right code Major say sixty those meals right
- 56:04here. You have a fitness challenge. Yeah. You obviously don't listen to
- 56:07the podcasts. I'll do it. I listened to the one about the the
- 56:09YouTube show. That was a good one. Yeah. Well, Anthony claims
- 56:14that he can get me my two Facebook accounts combined. I I'll believe it
- 56:19when I see it. I'm waiting on my friend. I don't know.
- 56:22He's always got a friend. He's always he's always got a guy. He
- 56:25takes his time getting back, but I think he's got to deal with people
- 56:29that take a long time. Oh man, Well, Anthony, uh,
- 56:32thank you for being on the show. This is thirty minutes that a lot
- 56:37of people won't get back. But if they're taking if they're thirty minutes well
- 56:40spent, if they're taking a long dump, which, by the way,
- 56:44Anthony is not a big flusher. I noticed that in the hotel. I
- 56:45don't know why Florida has such low pressure on the water. It's crazy.
- 56:52We got to hold down the flushing thing, just hold it down a little
- 56:54bit. I'm busy, you know, I'm very busy. I don't have
- 56:59time to stand there and I should go down. Well, I appreciate that,
- 57:01all right. Do you know, by the way, that we have
- 57:06major pod condoms? No, but I have some expiring condoms. All right,
- 57:15all that note it fell up. See you guys. All right,
- 57:20The WTF Figure of the Week is a battle pack fifty. Yeah, yeah,
- 57:25yeah, okay, not yet, not yet, okay, okay,
- 57:29hey, okay, you're gonna love this one. We've talked about this particular
- 57:34figure on the pod kind of before, and we're gonna have to reiterate because
- 57:38that figure we talked about on the first episode. You're gonna see what I'm
- 57:44talking about in one second, because I'm gonna show you the figure as I
- 57:47say it, it is the Jack specific WrestleMania twenty the Undertaker. I don't
- 57:54see what's wrong with that. You're kidding me with the head, the head,
- 57:59the head. But they got it out so fast, like, but
- 58:01come on, Jacks, for a second, we both went to WrestleMania twenty.
- 58:07Of course, right we need I think we need to retell the story
- 58:12about No, it's not waste time with that. It's not waste time that
- 58:15I think. It's on YouTube on our channel. It's it's been told plenty
- 58:19of times. If you don't know, listen to the pilot Eppen episode.
- 58:23The first episode we talked about the Wrestlemingia twenty story. But one of those
- 58:27figures was the Undertaker. Now this is when he finally came back from the
- 58:30American badass big that it was a big deal and this is his first dead
- 58:35man figure. But the dead man ruthless aggression for this aggression figure. But
- 58:42they couldn't they couldn't get a new head out in time because it was a
- 58:45pretty good turnaround, Like these came out in the summer, in the summer,
- 58:51so it's fast. But why don't put it out then? Short?
- 58:54I'm taking with the bandana. I guess the banda is what's really a killing
- 58:59and the hair bright I know, but I would have accepted the short hair
- 59:01of the bandama is. Trust me, I still accepted it. But they
- 59:07wid it out the eyeballs, yes, or also you can put that hat
- 59:12on and not even know right, So I well, what do you think
- 59:15his hair is? Like an abuton hat? Sure you got it to be
- 59:17creative. Last week you were trying to throw that workout pants rv D under
- 59:21the bus. Yeah, you didn't do storylines or maybe you needed rv D
- 59:23backstage. And don't get me wrong, running and his jim pants. I
- 59:27still bought this figure comes with the urn, and it's a cool concept.
- 59:30I mean they tried in the sense that they wided out the eyeball, so
- 59:32he's doing the eye roll. He has that the traditional Undertaker dead man hat,
- 59:37and he comes with the urn, so the the idea is there.
- 59:40They didn't just say, hey, this is dead this is American bad I
- 59:45think I know what you're saying, like, but why even do this?
- 59:50He's got the American badass head, short hair. I don't know. Look,
- 59:54Jack's was an abusive relationship. I do love the box office. Still
- 59:59you still it's like a family member that disappoints you all the time, you
- 1:00:01still love them, you still accept them for their short shortcomings. You find
- 1:00:07this set okay? Why you know this was a Ruther's Aggression set? Right?
- 1:00:12They gave us a Titan tron Sky too hotty and Rakishi that was crushing,
- 1:00:15and they gave us a Ruth's Digression Randy with a Titans tron Rick Flair.
- 1:00:19Yeah, I mean the upside is they put this set out pretty freaking
- 1:00:25fast, wild wild. If the box are is incredible, I still yeah,
- 1:00:30And actually the packaging is critical and still still holds up to this deck.
- 1:00:34Correct if I'm wrong? Isn't there some sort of variant with this figure?
- 1:00:37Like maybe now I don't know exactly, but I think like maybe some
- 1:00:42of the bandanas might be all black and some might have the little bandana design,
- 1:00:45or like the eyes might not be whited out on all of them.
- 1:00:49I could be completely wrong. It's not ring Bell, but I feel like
- 1:00:52there's some sort of variant. Hmmm. I definite he didn't have it,
- 1:01:00but I remember like it was on my list. Maybe I could be wrong,
- 1:01:05but anyway, I mean, the WTF for this is that I didn't
- 1:01:09even realize this still just now the baggaging says authentic costume. Yeah, with
- 1:01:16this odd that's kind of a kick in the in the balls. But whatever.
- 1:01:23I appreciate the effort of how fast the turnover was, That's all I'm
- 1:01:28trying to say. A for effort, but like but F for delivery,
- 1:01:32w T F got it. And it's WrestleMania season, so why not put
- 1:01:37a WrestleMania figure? Got it in there? All right? Next up is
- 1:01:42the Incarnation of Domination. The Incarnation of Domination. The Incarnation of Domination is
- 1:01:50a weekly segment where we talk about a particular superstar and we name our favorite
- 1:01:54version of their figures. If that makes sense. That makes sense to ye,
- 1:01:59sense to me. It's my pick this week, right, I thought
- 1:02:06it was mine, But you can go if you want. Oh, well
- 1:02:08last week we did, Jeff, Oh that's what happened. So it is
- 1:02:12your pick. But that was my pick. Well, it wasn't gonna pick.
- 1:02:15That wasn't gonna be a pick anyway. There's gonna be a pick anyway.
- 1:02:17Almost a shot right there. I was just gonna say, we sold,
- 1:02:21we sold the shot glasses and now look, I don't have to start
- 1:02:22literally was literally gonna say that. I'm like, you don't stutter anymore?
- 1:02:25What's going on? Last week? I was gonna pick Jeff and then we
- 1:02:30were yesking with him about the podcast, and then we started recording and we
- 1:02:34took a break and I went to get a water and he was just sitting
- 1:02:36there doing nothing. I said, hey, you want to come beyond?
- 1:02:37That was great? Yeah, speaking of which, by the way, I
- 1:02:39listened back to that, I was dying laughing. So I really hope everyone
- 1:02:43enjoyed it as much as we did. We were calling them out for like
- 1:02:45walking out the company and hold them up for moneies and like that hilarious stuff.
- 1:02:47I listened back to it. I was life at all the time.
- 1:02:50So I really hope people enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed doing it.
- 1:02:52But I was to say, speaking thinking of shots last week, one of
- 1:02:55the the Q and A people was Craig t Lo and but it's really Craig
- 1:03:01Tello, and I messed up the name on purpose, and I knew I
- 1:03:05know who it is, so I said Greg t Loo and then he d
- 1:03:07m me where I DMed him to get his address, like as a joke.
- 1:03:10It's like Hey, man, you expect my name wrong. You pronounce
- 1:03:13my name wrong. This is how you pronounced you go, dude, this
- 1:03:15is that's a gimmick. We bought the names. Like I've known you for
- 1:03:19over a decade. I want to say your name. I know you did
- 1:03:21that on purpose to just hide his identity. Well, if I did that,
- 1:03:23then it's open. Are we talking about this anyway? Okay, so
- 1:03:30the incarnation of domination, it's what is your favorite Paul London figure? My
- 1:03:36favorite it WrestleMania. What about mister Wrestlemaniah God Sean episode, Michael, that's
- 1:03:46not even We can't go through all this figures. So we have to go
- 1:03:51through. In doing this segment, I feel like we've purposely purposely talking I
- 1:03:57do warrior many like this could be an episode, but this is a is
- 1:04:01a WrestleMania episode. Let's talk about mister WrestleMania, the showstopp or, the
- 1:04:06Icon, the man event, the heartbreak kid Sean, Michael, this is
- 1:04:11me so hard. We can't do it. We can't cover them all.
- 1:04:14What's hard is to break it down to like one like my old like what's
- 1:04:17my favorite? I don't know, I know without a shout of it out.
- 1:04:20My favorite is the hats bro Yelp card. Why because I Sean Michaels
- 1:04:27was the first bad guy I liked, and I I love that figure and
- 1:04:31it came with the tattoo and the glass. It just looked like him and
- 1:04:35it was like, okay, So he had that Rick Martel macho man body
- 1:04:39and they never painted the tape on the macho man, so it was like
- 1:04:42weird. But he has a glove. Sean has like gloves, so it
- 1:04:45was so differently decoed that it was almost even though it was a repaint,
- 1:04:50didn't feel like a repaint of a body. Yeah. Man. So the
- 1:04:59Rockers were like my absolute favorite tag team as a kid, and the first
- 1:05:01tag team I loved and like just was enthralled with. But this then the
- 1:05:05Hazard Rockers kind of suck. But they're so colorful and ask all they could
- 1:05:11be and but they's just so timeless and cool that like to me. So
- 1:05:15that was like so important to me that I had those and I played with
- 1:05:18those to like no end. So that's close like in the sentimental realm,
- 1:05:25Like it's really close sentimental for me. Superstar Series one did that one played
- 1:05:31me, I closed my eyes that's Jack's and I played with that thing to
- 1:05:35yeah no, and that was like the peak of his top guy overness and
- 1:05:41you know, uh man, it's like molded. Yeah. It just was
- 1:05:45really cool. It was that that playability compared to other figures. You could
- 1:05:51do, of the way more things with those bone crunches than other figures.
- 1:05:55But in the past it took years for Jacks actually put the tattoo on,
- 1:06:00which I didn't like. That figure has a tattoo. He does not have
- 1:06:02the tattoo. Superstar Series one, I'm pretty sure it has a tattoo.
- 1:06:09I will bet you one thousand dollars cash that he doesn't have the tattoo till
- 1:06:15like that weird wrestle Maine four in the white Maybe that's what I'm thinking.
- 1:06:23Series two doesn't have the tattoo. I feel like it has it and it's
- 1:06:29not coloring it colored in, and then the other one's colored no, no,
- 1:06:31he doesn't have it. The first one I believe that has it is
- 1:06:33the White Tights wrestling the fourteenth figure. I feel like that one's like weirdly
- 1:06:38colored in. He has like a non no no, then it doesn't it.
- 1:06:45Remember the Commissioner one they made, but it's like not quite commissioner.
- 1:06:48He's wearing the T shirt and it had like the second half of the tattoo
- 1:06:51on. Yeah, that one's a really cool one. That's that's years later
- 1:06:55too. That's a grudge match with Hunter. Yeah. Yeah, I loved
- 1:06:59his slam because like he was out of the ring by then, but it
- 1:07:02had like the chaps for the first time. That was a great figure.
- 1:07:05But there he's like long out of the ring. So it's like, oh
- 1:07:09man, it's almost like unfortunate. Are you looking this up because you'll believe
- 1:07:13me, he didn't have any I just need to like see it for a
- 1:07:15peace of mind. Well, I'm glad he didn't win and get into the
- 1:07:23Hall of Fame, but you don't know anything about that. It was my
- 1:07:25vote. Yeah, I guess you're right. Of course I'm right. I'm
- 1:07:27Michael Jordan, bust we're collecting. I mean, I've dude, I've proved
- 1:07:30you wrong in the show zillion times. There's the white one with the colored
- 1:07:32and weird tat there it is. Yeah, back to what I was saying
- 1:07:38about the Rockers, I feel like there isn't really I still this day don't
- 1:07:43think there's great rockers figures. The betel ones are beautiful. Said something about
- 1:07:48the T shirt and they'reripped up. They're good, but not like I don't
- 1:07:53feel like anyone's ever liked retro Fest knocked it even that the hair is weird,
- 1:07:57like the brownish it's too brown, and then something, but the deco
- 1:08:00is not that bright. Like there's good rocker figures. There hasn't been like
- 1:08:04taking a breath away like unbelievable rocker figures. Ever, so many the Jack's
- 1:08:09classics are oh stink Yeah. Jackson has made a lot of cool ones.
- 1:08:15Ringside Collectibles has so many Seawn Michael's exclusive like I said, you go buy
- 1:08:17the d X one right now, honestly, like from just straight up like
- 1:08:23favorite Sean like that. That's an amazing figure. I think. Is that
- 1:08:27like boy Toy ninety two Ringside Exclusive. I like that one a lot.
- 1:08:30Here's my gripe with it? What no tat? How do you know what
- 1:08:36is tat? One? Doesn't? I feel like that has the tat?
- 1:08:39Does not have the TAT because I think it's supposed to be from WrestleMania at
- 1:08:42uh eight right before he has the right, before he has that so it's
- 1:08:45historically accurate. That's well, that gets a plus in my book, right,
- 1:08:48But like, why not pick an outfit or he has the tat.
- 1:08:51Yeah, but I get it. I get it. And they've made like
- 1:08:54the so many cool. Ringside makes the best clusive ever in my opinion,
- 1:08:58and they've made a lot of cool. Like at one point, like almost
- 1:09:00everything was a Sean Michaels during the Class, the two pac with Austin,
- 1:09:04the two pack with Hunter, the two pack of Diesel tupack with Brett Hart.
- 1:09:08He's one of the most iconic for wrestlers of all time right there,
- 1:09:13the Commissioner Shawn Michaels and the Brown Series eight and the Mattel made the same
- 1:09:16version, which people unfortunately don't have because it's in that Harley set that people
- 1:09:20can't find. And those figures are just gonna show up one day, a
- 1:09:25big lots. I'm positive that. I know people aren't sure about that,
- 1:09:30but I feel like they're going to show up somewhere. Just this distribution problem
- 1:09:33time, just disbution problems. But uh, I think my favorite Sean,
- 1:09:39that's a good one right there. The Mattel Network Spotlight with the latter that's
- 1:09:42a great one to God. That's a great figure too. That's kind of
- 1:09:45like Series one. My favorite Sean is the yet to be made Saudi Arabia
- 1:09:51Return match where he's bald. Yeah, that's my favorite. He could use
- 1:10:00his undertaker Jack's head, but it's not removable, so he can't. Oh
- 1:10:04no, okay, scrap scrap that idea. I take that back. Uh
- 1:10:09man, I think I'm gonna have to go. It's maybe it's bone crunchy.
- 1:10:12Series one. You know which one you like a lot, and not
- 1:10:14that I don't like it, but you put it on a pedestal more than
- 1:10:17I do. Is the Mattel one with the European title. Oh I love
- 1:10:21that one. I love that one too. Bad Blood, Bad Blood,
- 1:10:25you know what? That is my favorite? There you go, yep,
- 1:10:27that's my favorite. Because that's actually back to what I said about the resume
- 1:10:31of seven Macho and Warrior. I always get new guys and they kind of
- 1:10:35filter their way through. He's always right there. That's bad to me.
- 1:10:40That's Sean. Michael's like hid to d X. Not even that, just
- 1:10:45the way he carried himself at that time. You know, he was just
- 1:10:48that chip on his shoulder, the way he worked and the you know,
- 1:10:50it's the promos and everything, and he's always out there, probably not you
- 1:10:56know, what he should be doing. He's always upstage's opponent things like that.
- 1:10:59But I just thought, man, this is this dude does not give
- 1:11:02up, and it's it's cool as WrestleMania fourteen uh ring attires like my favorite.
- 1:11:09I think that's my most iconic DX attire, and I love that Jackson
- 1:11:13has made that figure twice and Mattel knocked it out of the park with that
- 1:11:15WrestleMania set. And there's one with like more chest hair and belly hair than
- 1:11:20the other one, yes, which is weird. I don't know which one
- 1:11:24I had. It was a running change, if I recall, so into
- 1:11:27what to less hair or two more hair? They took the hair away because
- 1:11:29I thought it was like a little too scandal. It was like happy trail
- 1:11:33right way the happy trail. And then there's that flocked one that we talked
- 1:11:36about WTF version. There's so many not on my list. We could do
- 1:11:41a whole episode. That's why That's why I purposely within this segment always avoid
- 1:11:46like superstar like mega stars like stone Cold, like we'd be here, Okay,
- 1:11:53So let's let's play a little game. If Sean said, so many
- 1:11:55iconic moments and ring attires, if you could pick one, if Mattel said,
- 1:12:00hey, we're gonna of course they're gonna make another Shawn Michaels, But
- 1:12:03if you could design it, what outfit would you pick? I mean,
- 1:12:08they've they've made all the iconic moments. It would have to be I might
- 1:12:12try to make something that they haven't made, because then you got to go
- 1:12:14obscure, right, something they haven't made. There's a lot of show Michaels,
- 1:12:18like, what's something that they haven't made? They know what I want
- 1:12:20them to make? The Dutch boy haircut we've been talking about. They no
- 1:12:25company has made a Sean with like the leather biker hat, like a ninety
- 1:12:31four Debra biker hat, sum him and Diesel, a tag Tag Champs era.
- 1:12:38Doesn't that Oh I'm thinking it comes with that flashback, But it doesn't.
- 1:12:44It doesn't. They could have they made the Harper Hotel. But tell
- 1:12:46me the Harper Hotel. Oh my god, it's another thing I have on
- 1:12:48display. I guess that that flashback Sean could have came with that hat,
- 1:12:51right, So I want whatever Sean would come with that hat. Man,
- 1:12:57I can't even think they've covered everything, Like, what is there to this
- 1:13:04is in? It's a hell of a run, but his career was the
- 1:13:10hell of a run, so it's deserving of course. All right, well
- 1:13:17that's my pick. They even made the you know what's a good one where
- 1:13:19he's dressed up his whole Cogan for that skit. Honestly, Mattel like that
- 1:13:25Jacks figure is pretty cool. I think Mattel if they took a stab at
- 1:13:28that kill it. Oh my god, I crushed that. Yeah, that's
- 1:13:30a figure that if I redo the disaggressions I gotta get. All right,
- 1:13:35guys, that's it for w t F. No, that's it. That's
- 1:13:43it for incarnation of domination. As you scratched that figure, itch, what
- 1:13:49do you do? You've gone out and picked up figures, you have them
- 1:13:54in your de top and put their boxes safely away. How do you remember
- 1:13:57everything you have? And how do you connect with other fans as dedicated to
- 1:14:00collecting as you. That's where Jimmer comes in. It's an app just for
- 1:14:04collectors. You can show off all your figures, meet other collectors and talk
- 1:14:09about your favorite figs, which gemmer you always know you have and they can
- 1:14:13even help you find when you're missing. That's g E. M R on
- 1:14:15iOS and Android. All right, guys, next up is the Q and
- 1:14:24A. Every week go to our Twitter at Major w Pod ask us take
- 1:14:29a shot, best take another shot? Best wishes bar and girl shot class.
- 1:14:36Okay, so ask another question, ask Major Pod and we will answer
- 1:14:40it on here and if we read your question on air, we will send
- 1:14:44you a Best Wishes eight x ten and next week will be a full Best
- 1:14:48Wishes episode because we will be doing a complete Q and A episode. We'll
- 1:14:53call it the WrestleMania Hangover and uh taking a week we're giving a best break
- 1:14:57is eight ten to everyone's question that we answer. Next We're gonna run out
- 1:15:00of stock. We're gonna run out of stock. All right, you got
- 1:15:02a question this week? Brian? Sure? Yeah? Right? Okay,
- 1:15:11Dad row at Dad? Are I guess it's a row? But with a
- 1:15:15zero thirty three? Do most wrestlers get each figure of themselves sent to them
- 1:15:21for free? Hashtag ask Major Pod? Well, how would you answer this
- 1:15:28question? Sometimes? I mean right. Sometimes I will get a box from
- 1:15:34WW and I think it's Mattel saying it to we, he says it to
- 1:15:38us. I don't know. I don't know, and it doesn't happen every
- 1:15:42time sometimes, and I'm trying to remember what in the Jacks era, what
- 1:15:47would happen. I don't feel like we did. We didn't get it right.
- 1:15:51No, No, I can't recall. I can't recall Todd Rokus would
- 1:15:57get us those Jack's prototypers. Is really cool? Different Tell will not give
- 1:16:00us prototypes. No. So I picked this question because this week from WW
- 1:16:08headquarters, I got twenty four Kerhawkins Elite. That's so cool. I was.
- 1:16:15I was shocked, and I thought it was more stuff that you sent
- 1:16:18to my house and these boxes were on my porch and I was like,
- 1:16:20I'm going to kill him. And then it was that, and I was
- 1:16:23like, I was pleasantly surprised. But I have no idea how that happened
- 1:16:27this week. Oh, I didn't really mention this weekly purchases. I got
- 1:16:30a box at my house with twenty Elite zach Ryders, the USA Riders and
- 1:16:34twenty Elite Retros. But I bought the brick side and I used that code
- 1:16:42major to say tem percent good, Goomart, move good trade bait. That's
- 1:16:45purely trade bait. I understand what you're doing. But yeah, so I
- 1:16:50have no idea how that happened. I know for sure when my basic came
- 1:16:57out years ago with Brotus that the Battle Pack bill himself like we were emailing
- 1:17:02and he sent me like a box of like three or four of right,
- 1:17:05and that was it. I remember going to the w W headquarters during the
- 1:17:11Jacks days and we got a tour and when the secret closet. Yeah,
- 1:17:15well Mike Bucchi Nova from ecw knew what fanboys we were, right, and
- 1:17:20he was like building it up and it was like a big deal. I
- 1:17:23remember they had like a wall full of figures and we will take some figures.
- 1:17:26But I remember all the figures. I don't know if you remember this.
- 1:17:28When you open them, they had little silver like circle stickers on their
- 1:17:32feet because there was some sort of sample. There were samples. So I
- 1:17:34think WWE gets these figures and that's what they send. Yeah I don't.
- 1:17:39Yeah, I don't think ww just gets like stock of figures. I think
- 1:17:42they're getting samples to be like the final stages of approval, right, and
- 1:17:46then they just have stock, right exactly and I think that still is kind
- 1:17:49of what goes on today. So I remember, do you remember this when
- 1:17:55we were in there and like going around, We're like walking through and then
- 1:17:58they had that first set of building and we were like what are these?
- 1:18:00What like with the photos of those hadn't even surfaced hill and there were men
- 1:18:04on card building that built that first building brawl set those little mini you know
- 1:18:08what I'm sorying, But we eventually had two twenty two. I remember that
- 1:18:14I got WWE bed cheets. What would you do with those? Put the
- 1:18:18bed? Oh my god, Oh my god. That's a pretty good question.
- 1:18:27I just feel like there's that misconception. But it was also in my
- 1:18:30mind because these figures came this week, which I was completely shocked. But
- 1:18:33there's a misconception. I mean, I guess maybe we're more of a top
- 1:18:39guy. I remember Ambrose was on here saying that they send him to his
- 1:18:41house all the time, but well he gets figures, like but he has
- 1:18:44a lot of figures and there's probably some sets that got skipped. He doesn't
- 1:18:46realize, you know, Oh he has no clue. That's a good question.
- 1:18:50I think a lot of people still think that the WW warehouse, Like
- 1:18:56there's just like one of every piece of merchandise or every figure ever. I
- 1:18:59wish it's the case, but there's is no way. No, there's definitely
- 1:19:00some cool stuff. We definitely got to do a tour with the I think
- 1:19:03we could get We'll figure it out. Special edition. Absolutely, we need
- 1:19:08the archivist in there. Sure, am I saying it right? We didn't
- 1:19:11figure that out? Benjamin Brown? Yeah? Brown, Yeah? Did you
- 1:19:14know that? My the Ben Brown? He texted me my WrestleMania thirty two
- 1:19:17gear is going to be on displayed access. How did that happen? He
- 1:19:21asked me. If I wanted to this, that doesn't absolutely where do I
- 1:19:25said that? I want that on display? I want to take a picture
- 1:19:27of part of that, like Coco Beware say no or something. All right,
- 1:19:34what about Bruce Beefcake is gonna cut your hair? Shut up? That's
- 1:19:38what you get, all right? My question this comes from Stuck in nineteen
- 1:19:45eighty Take a shot Stuck in nineteen eighty nine. You went pretty strong and
- 1:19:49then you really caught up at D three five zero eight seven zero two four.
- 1:19:54What a handle? I can make a coon if you could choose one
- 1:20:00backstage person to have their own figure. Who would it be and what prop
- 1:20:04would they have? I got my answer right away, Yeah, Downtown Bruno
- 1:20:12and he has bray Wyatt's dip about a classic. Yeah, but it's not
- 1:20:23the same set, Okay, I was that's not really your answer. No,
- 1:20:27I would you're a friend of the pod John Cohen referee John Con.
- 1:20:30I mean that would be a killer. I think I think that I think
- 1:20:34we we definitely need a referee figure. I don't know how matel has not
- 1:20:38made one build of John Cone. Would build a John Cohen? I like,
- 1:20:43you know, John Cone collects referee figures. It would be great,
- 1:20:45not just for him, not just for us. I mean there's no ref
- 1:20:48figure's no figure, Kennedy, what you say, We're almost on ten years
- 1:20:53of Mantel toys. There's no wrap. We need a ref John Con and
- 1:20:56what accessory or what prop? You know what we don't really have. And
- 1:21:00I don't think there's a Mattel ring bell. I think they should make a
- 1:21:02Tony Chimmel. And he's got to pull string on his back and he tells,
- 1:21:06like Dad jokes, Tony Chimble would have been good like ten years ago.
- 1:21:12But no, never, but sure, so My my pick would be
- 1:21:16John Cone. You're not gonna top that with a ring bell. You need
- 1:21:19to think of the one I can't. I'm not going to tell some other
- 1:21:24guys like who I just said, Chimmel Chimmell. I don't. I love
- 1:21:28Chimmel, but I wanna reckon Mobile with Ellis. Ellis Who Ellis is like
- 1:21:36a legend that no one knows about unless you work at w B. He's
- 1:21:40the stuntman extraordinaire who got his start on Thunder in Paradise with Hull Cogan and
- 1:21:45started working for ww and then came over in the Invasion and has been here
- 1:21:48ever since. And he's the man behind a lot of the magic you see
- 1:21:53on television. I mean, if he still worked there, Brawler Brooklyn Brawler,
- 1:21:58I would have loved him. Tell I would like a parking lot,
- 1:22:00Keith Park. We're saying all that nobody knows the seven people that are laughing
- 1:22:08at this, it's worth it for me. Let's keep going here. Bark
- 1:22:13Barkt Keith is probably the nicest guy that works with w B. And basically
- 1:22:17when when we go to these buildings and you have no idea how to get
- 1:22:20into him, he's the guy you're looking for and he helps you, you
- 1:22:24know, find your way, or if you're like me and you don't have
- 1:22:27to reverse and you're like stuck in a weird smile. God, Billy Kidman
- 1:22:30needs a figure modern day Billy Kidman. No, not like producer Billy Kidman,
- 1:22:35like break up brawls Billy Kidman. Not like during the time of the
- 1:22:40show Billy Billy Kidman like w c W jeans shorts and uh what was the
- 1:22:49question that doesn't make any sense was if you could choose one backstage person to
- 1:22:55have their own figure, who would it be and what propit they have?
- 1:22:59Does Kidman it's backstage you're doing the times and stuff, not well give him
- 1:23:02one with the cruisery title. No, Pat Patterson, he's getting a figure.
- 1:23:09Oh yeah, Pat Patterson, I'm actually pumped about that. I think
- 1:23:13we need some like generic like cameraman, you know, I mean, it's
- 1:23:16definitely doable. There's stuff like that we need, and like it doesn't even
- 1:23:20have to be generic, making one of the cameramen and you know, like,
- 1:23:24but then that's where like the problem referees, Yeah, right, like
- 1:23:27the likenesses and all that they have tops cards though, so there's something.
- 1:23:30Huh yeah, what about a ruben If you need some some tickets, I'm
- 1:23:38gonna say, how about a referee sticks with a mistimed handshake. We got
- 1:23:45to stuff Rudy Charles, but John call number one. Of course, Charles
- 1:23:49Robinson kind of has a referee figure for w CW. You don't count that.
- 1:23:54It's not it's not in the packaging. What other wor if you had
- 1:23:58bleached blood hair this is it would say it's a repaint of a generic graph.
- 1:24:01That doesn't It doesn't. It doesn't work that way. We're definitely forgetting
- 1:24:04some people, but I think we covered all bases. I think right.
- 1:24:10Guys, it's WrestleMania this week. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself. It's this
