- 4:15get filmed this week, So stay tuned. We put up the first live
- 4:18Major Pod behind the scenes and it really gives you guys a glimpse into what
- 4:23we do to make these shows work. And I thought it was very well
- 4:27done. I watched it like three or four times. Yeah, I cried
- 4:29one night. I cried, but I just watched it. I just saw
- 4:33Maven I got h honestly, can't say enough nice things about it, and
- 4:39I just I want to say, I highly recommend going out of your way
- 4:42to watch it. Umca, this is cool. It's a unique look into
- 4:46what goes on with this show and behind the scenes stuff, and it's a
- 4:50lot of fun and it's my favorite video that's ever been uploaded to our YouTube.
- 4:54It was my favorite until a couple days later when we uploaded the Toy
- 4:58Department Man, which I think is the best thing we've ever put up.
- 5:00I didn't realize how great it was because we're there just shopping for toys.
- 5:04I guess it's real life. I guess every time we shop for toys.
- 5:08We should film something like that every time. But if we know something could
- 5:11happen, that's special. But we didn't. I had no No one knew
- 5:15you were gonna do that. I know, a real life breakdown. We
- 5:18caught on film and it's a longer video and people still love it. Yeah,
- 5:24I was watching it in the twenty minutes flew by. You will get
- 5:27captivated by absolute no way what's going on here. But also, guys,
- 5:32a couple of weeks ago, we're also very sick from the UK. Also,
- 5:42guys, we understand Hercules wore that ljut we get it. Okay,
- 5:46we know I said I had no childhood memories, right, we just said,
- 5:49like the chain swinging Hercules is more iconic. Yeah, people like Okay,
- 5:54now I have too many pictures of Hercules in that out. Yeah.
- 5:57Yeah, we've seen a training car. Now we've seen it. Yes,
- 6:00piper Spit segment. A lot of people send me the piper Spit segment,
- 6:02Wildcat Belts and tugboat. Guy Bull sent me that Hercules card and then w
- 6:08w F old School Collector on Instagram he sent me an official eight by ten
- 6:12of Hercules and that that was the most impressive thing. I'll give that guy
- 6:15that. Yes, yeah, so guys, because I believe we'd even said,
- 6:18like I don't even recall like a studio photo of him, like yes,
- 6:21he wore that. We know he wore it. We were just saying
- 6:24like that wasn't the most iconic version to us, but for the time period
- 6:28it works considering it's his only action figure ever. But enough Hercules, jeez,
- 6:34unless unless Bill wants to make us a real goddamn Hercules, I would
- 6:38love that. Um Okay, guys, this is um breaking news. Um
- 6:44Mark the Bushman Bushy. Did you see he finally took a new picture?
- 6:48Yo? Insane? First of all, Hey, he's got a cat and
- 6:51he's like doctor Evil, and I know that he loves his rhythm and blues
- 6:57right the hammer Valentine that I sold him, But he doesn't need to have
- 7:00like the hockey talk man Cidebirds. He's trying to be his partner. What's
- 7:02he trying to do. He's trying to ride a Cadillac. Rattle and Bush
- 7:08He's trying to ride a Cadillac. Oh my god. Around where he's from
- 7:13him he's selling things. He's putting up cool he's whaling dealing, he's putting
- 7:15up some cool stuff. We actually had uh last week. He put up
- 7:21those towels like Summer of ninety five WWF towels that like I have very very
- 7:29very very vague memories. I remember them. It's like Brett hard on a
- 7:32towel, like just not like in like ring gears. That's what makes them
- 7:36unique, Suit Razor. But he sold them for big money and then they
- 7:45came up one day on a tour and catering and we were like showing people
- 7:47and people were like, what like of the guys in the background, Like,
- 7:49I don't. Yeah. Bushman is always getting, He's got he's got
- 7:54unique items. And actually there's plenty more Bushman talk to come on this episode.
- 7:58All right, So we like we said we were in the United Kingdom
- 8:01last week. We're also in uh France for a day I went to Disneyland
- 8:05Paris. Thank you, Mike Rome. We're not gonna talk about that.
- 8:07I just want to give a shot to Mike Rome. What was there talking
- 8:09about? You were there for ten minutes. I was about four to five
- 8:11minutes. It did one ride. I'm gonna go back anyway. So most
- 8:15of the tour was in the UK and we did a signing in the UK
- 8:18at the Entertainer. The Entertainer we filmed that for a vlog that's gonna be
- 8:24up shortly, and uh, that was cool meeting all our UK fans.
- 8:28But it was really cool meeting the one and only TTD Wrestling. Yeah,
- 8:31baby, um this guy he designs a lot of our merch a lot of
- 8:35our logos, designed our wrestle maniac gear. So it was cool to finally
- 8:39meet him in person and uh say thank you, and and and his kids
- 8:43were there. We gave him, you know, pictures of the take team
- 8:46titles and it was cool to give back because he helps us out so much.
- 8:50So tt D, if you're listening, which I know you are,
- 8:52to your major mark, thank you very much real quick. You know.
- 8:54Our signing was in Birmingham and we met tt D in Wales. It was
- 8:58two different days, right, But I said the UK's segue horrible segue.
- 9:07But I would also like to chime in and say that TTD has been a
- 9:11lifesaver and he's absolutely ridiculously talented, and he's uh we owe him a lot.
- 9:15So it's cool to finally meet him and say thank you in person,
- 9:18and uh, I hope he enjoyed a w live events. Yes, all
- 9:24right, guys, let's go to the weekly purchases. Some might cost a
- 9:39little, some might cost a lot, but I'm the thousand dollar browski and
- 9:52your figures will be bought. Okay. As we alluded to in the housekeeping
- 10:05segment, it's tough sometimes the boredom and the downtime on these trips, and
- 10:11I found myself ebaying, like like just NonStop. I mean I was definitely
- 10:16on eBay a lot. Luckily I didn't make a lot of purchases. I
- 10:20just made two purchases. Well I made three, but one we'll talk about
- 10:22next week. Okay. One of them is kind of like a WPF purchase,
- 10:28and the other one is like a WF you bought that, like you
- 10:31spent that much money purchase. So two cool purchases, but I'll let you
- 10:33start since it looks like you probably got a lot of things. Okay,
- 10:39the man of the hour we've already named dropped them way too much on here,
- 10:41Mark Sterling, Mark Bushy, oh slid into my DMS. He said,
- 10:48I have something you might be interested in, a sample that's right here.
- 10:52I wanted to show you. I wanted to do this together. I
- 10:54haven't even ziplock. I haven't even looked at I haven't opened this yet.
- 10:58So that's a Bushy ziplock. Yes, Mark Bushy put it in the ziplock.
- 11:03So basically it's a nineteen ninety nine and two thousand and what do you
- 11:07want to call it? Rhino ECW figure. But it's the sample piece,
- 11:11so it has like a couple like notes written on it in sharpie. Bush
- 11:18quoted me at a fair price, so I thought I thought it was worth
- 11:20the gamble. And I did a couple of Google searches of the rhino figure
- 11:24and it's a Champion Clashes rhino just to clarify, and did some comparisons to
- 11:30it. From the naked eye. I thought there was enough meat on the
- 11:33bone for me to take a bite on this, so I purchased it from
- 11:35him, so we have a regular rhino. So now what I'm gonna do
- 11:39right now is walking to my playroom and go get my regular rhinos and we're
- 11:41gonna do this together. I mean, you could have got him like five
- 11:46minutes ago. It could have been waiting for us. So I'm just looking
- 11:48at this rhino right now now. To me, it looks it looks like
- 11:52the regular release. There is like some sort of like note written like in
- 11:56sharpie. Oh it says okay. It looks like it says like okay,
- 12:00and then like the date. Maybe, Oh God, I've got an improv
- 12:09baby. Uh no, I'll just keep talking. Um, you know,
- 12:11I'm gonna try do I'm gonna try to call it smart Mark again. CB
- 12:15picks up. Oh my god, Mark, another fu, another fu from
- 12:26smart Mark, Sterling, Mark, I don't understand. I thought I thought
- 12:28you'd want to hang out with me, the Michael Jordan of wrestling for your
- 12:33collecting. You gave me that nickname. And I'm here back on Long Island.
- 12:37I'm home. I'm hoping to see you, Mark. And what do
- 12:39you do? What do you do you think that you think the game with
- 12:41Thrones is more important than the major W Potter. You are you serious?
- 12:46Bro? And then I call you not once or twice and you fu button
- 12:48me. I thought we were tight. I thought we were broskies. But
- 12:52apparently not. Apparently not Mark. You really break my heart, you really
- 12:56do. Oh here he is mad beast. All right, Terrence is here,
- 13:03Terrence grin for mayor. All right, I have the act yard.
- 13:07I've bought this figure at Toys r US and uh call place. That's your
- 13:13original one? Is my original one. I've never part of the way as
- 13:16you guys. Okay, So, first of all, these figures are so
- 13:20um amazing. I love them. I love the the eyebrowp persing, Yeah,
- 13:30has it here? So what I noticed on the Google images the goat
- 13:35is like it's got a little like it's Spiky's a little bit more detail in
- 13:39the sample one, if you will a little bit um. And then what
- 13:45I also thought when I got to see now is I thought that that rhino
- 13:48text look hand painted are very different. What do you think, uh toimy,
- 13:54I think Bushman got me. There's something I've noted. Oh, you're
- 13:58gonna hate me right out. Why there's something I've noticed on your figure?
- 14:03My good you're a good one and you might be a little upset. What
- 14:07okay, the ring finger of rhino. I'm on the prototype painted black with
- 14:16black paint. Your left hand painted black, your right hand unpainted. So
- 14:20do you have an error? Do you have like a factor error? Now
- 14:24you're saying that, I think it isn't. Oh my god, let me
- 14:26see. But it's molded on. Yeah. Oh no, my childhood rhino.
- 14:37It's over, brother Terence. No, I'm gonna look it up right
- 14:41now. Looks first of all, everything looks different, like the paint.
- 14:45It just looks different, but like not, It's like different in a way
- 14:52I can't describe. I'm looking at it at a Champion Clashes Rhino on the
- 14:56internet. It should have the painted finger. No, it has to be
- 15:01replaced. You can get another one to buy it now live What what are
- 15:05you looking on on? McCary? Oh you finally learned how to say that.
- 15:13So I'm looking now, So you think this is worth keeping? I
- 15:15don't think. I told Bushman, I don't think I'm going to display it,
- 15:18but I felt like as as a ECW guy and the guy who has
- 15:22everything, he's definitely worth keeping. Like also look like the hair is a
- 15:24little glossier on the proto. Even the reds like they're different reds, and
- 15:31the singles slightly different. Yeah, I'm trying to see any other subtle differences.
- 15:39It's tough, right. The hair. Something about that looks like one
- 15:41hair shiny. One's kind of matt It's strange. Yeah, I mean it's
- 15:46definitely some sort of pre production. It is what it is. It's not
- 15:48like some little kids scribbled on his hip. Yeah, it's definitely some sort
- 15:52of pre production. The action doesn't disaction work on that one, Nope,
- 15:56Oh yeah yeah, yeah, but yeah it's cool purchase helping to buy it
- 16:00for much No, but enough that I was like, okay, why you
- 16:03disclose that for us? I don't think Bushman wants me to do that.
- 16:07Okay, we all do that. Uh God, I can have to re
- 16:11buy that figure I've had for twenty years. Okay. Bush Man also sent
- 16:15me some gifts for you. Bush told me to surprise you live in the
- 16:19show. So that's what I'm doing here now. Okay. The first one
- 16:22is this. I took it out of the bag. Yeah, it's a
- 16:26macho man. Randy Savage nineteen ninety two, Thermis sippy cup. Sippy cup
- 16:34straw looks like it. That's pretty cool. Yeah, this is a really
- 16:38cool bush man. Thank you so much. And I have to hand wash
- 16:41that or something. Let the straw go the dishwasher, but hand wash the
- 16:45cup. I don't know where mark that straw? Who knows after that cat
- 16:48picture? Who knows what goes on? Bush This is great, it's really
- 16:52cool. That was part one. This is part two. I couldn't even
- 16:55creep to see what it was. And it's just for me. Yeah,
- 16:56and it's look what does that say? Zachkay? Thank you? But it
- 17:02was sealed so I couldn't even creep on in envelope very light, it's very
- 17:12light. Whatever it is, I'm reaching aside. It's like some sort of
- 17:18paper sealed. I have no older piece of paper. That bush man.
- 17:30It is an eighty. I'm going on the ground for that Mark. How
- 17:37did you even how did you even print that out? What the bush bad?
- 17:44That sign it says, do the Bichael Jordan of Wrestling figure collecting Zach
- 17:48Ryder keep scratching that edge from mark the bush bad bushy? Oh my god,
- 17:56this picture, oh my god, legendary. We've we've raised his status
- 18:02to like, there's no coming. Oh my god, we need have a
- 18:04T shirt of the Bush of man Man. Oh thanks, Bushy. I
- 18:08really, from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate that. Incredible,
- 18:14incredible. Um, can I go for purchase? Sure? Okay, I
- 18:18think we call it up. Yeah, you do it again. My phone's
- 18:26freezing. Your what's the bush? Harry silver Bush the guy who didn't try
- 18:34to call him again and button I could hear it. Oh baby, that's
- 18:40all right. I think it was. On last week's episode, I talked
- 18:45about how I'm trying to get some w W E c W figures guys that
- 18:49worked with the one Legged Brosky. Are you gonna tell the real story about
- 18:55this? How you woke up the bullet and I just sent me pictures of
- 18:59who I worked and figures. I don't know why, but that like triggered
- 19:02me. It literally triggered me. Last week, I was you said it,
- 19:04you said what you said, you said the clarifications of the people to
- 19:10be a part of this collection. And I went back to my room.
- 19:14I don't know why. I just wouldn't leave beat and I just started googling
- 19:17exact rider U CW, this person that like and I could just reverses and
- 19:19I could say, and there's so many guys, there's really not that Mattel
- 19:23has have made in some kind of representation that you would need. So you
- 19:29convinced me I do need that gold dust? What did that? Elite series
- 19:32three, that is Elite six gold Elite six, I need that gold dust.
- 19:36If someone wants to be trace together week, I really need that gold
- 19:37dust. Not easy to come buy any more, great, don't tell him
- 19:41that, guys, I'm trying to trace. I'm just saying, but one
- 19:44thing that you did gives me to buy, and I cannot believe I bought
- 19:47this. I bought Basic Series seven, Yoshi TATSI need that. Though I
- 19:52absolutely need that, I do definitely need it. Um So, I got
- 19:56that, um So. I think that's that's pretty much all I really need.
- 20:00You were trying to convince me that I needed a Mark Henry. I
- 20:03found pictures of Mark Ry, and that's raw. After that's raw. After
- 20:07you had one leg a tight, So that's that. And then you show
- 20:10me a picture over Kane. But Kane wasn't on ECWS time. He's coming
- 20:12over from like raw smating still happened. I think Broski needs an Elite series
- 20:18four Kane hit him up. I mean, if you have that, maybe,
- 20:21but really I do that gold dust uh, and I get the Yoshi
- 20:23Tatsu the gold does. I don't think there's anyone else I would need.
- 20:30Um, that's that's it. I think maybe a Rosamendez No no, no,
- 20:34no, totally different, totally different era. Right maybe, Um what
- 20:37else did you get? All right? We can keep going? Uh.
- 20:44David c Anderson has been a little blessing creep into my d MS as well,
- 20:48because he's been trying to help me piece together this Brian Pillman men on
- 20:51card collection, which is down to just the UK Pillman. Right. Um,
- 20:56obviously I have alert set so like you would think, I don't need
- 21:00help as far as eBay goes, you know, he's reaching out to like
- 21:03other collectors and Facebook groups and things like that. He's doing a legwork like
- 21:07that. Um, so he hits here, he goes one just popped up
- 21:10any bad looking at my saved things? Not there? It was under like
- 21:14Brian Pillman, WW figure no no galoob in the headline. But wouldn't it
- 21:18still come up? I have Pillman, Galoob saved Pilman ww pillman figure too
- 21:25many things. So I was like, oh, wow, so it but
- 21:30so that sounds like the seller didn't know what he had. But the seller
- 21:32knew what he had. It was pretty expensive and from Japan. Wow,
- 21:37so it had a best offer on it, so obviously I put in the
- 21:40best offering. Was It's just not fun for me to just so I'm messaging
- 21:45with David Anderson. He goes, oh, it's there, blah blah blah.
- 21:48So cool. I put it in the best offer and he goes,
- 21:52I wouldn't do that, Like I'm familiar with the seller. He like,
- 21:53he doesn't really take offers and it's just there and he pulls things down and
- 21:57they're not up anymore and play games and stuff. So you like basically spooked
- 22:02me, like pretty bad. So I'm like, oh my god, script
- 22:04and I just bought it now, Oh my god. Yeah, just to
- 22:07end it. So my film and collection is complete, every single Brian filming
- 22:11figure, min on card. I'm very proud to say that. And except
- 22:15for the King of the Ring, I got it. Oh, we we
- 22:22discussed this. David Jameson found that on Amazon for a fairly affordable price.
- 22:26Well congratulations, and it came unreal mab case fresh, so uh yeah,
- 22:32shout out to him for that help Scie on that one. And it feels
- 22:33good to complete a collection. Okay, speaking of completing a collection, Um,
- 22:40I'm not going to complete my Awa Remco collection. I'm not gonna do
- 22:44it with the high spuz. A couple of months ago we've discussed it.
- 22:47I bought a couple of them, posted an a to a Remco commercial today
- 22:52toy it was commercial, I had not I had no memories. Yeah that
- 22:56too, but it was figures. But I decided, and I guess never
- 23:00say never, but I'm not going to complete the Awa collection. There's too
- 23:06many guys and putoscolosure. I didn't grow up in the Awa. There's no
- 23:08like nostalgic uh memories for me. But I am gonna have some nothing sentimental
- 23:15to really pull you in. But some of the figures are too damn cool,
- 23:18and some of them are of guys that I did grow up watching.
- 23:21So I'm gonna build a little collection. And you can't have a WA figures
- 23:26without an Awa ring, no way. And it's been in my saved listings
- 23:32for a while and there's so many Lucy's up there and the AWA ring is
- 23:37very very interesting because like it's like a cardboard wood kind of material with a
- 23:41fabric ring apron. Where did we see it? And they still had some
- 23:45store a store and Fresno, Yes, and then you ended up not getting
- 23:49it's one of the poles were like super glued. Yeah, but that was
- 23:52I can't I can't recall handling it. Yeah, I've seen it, and
- 23:57I guess I just didn't realize what it really entailed, right, so I
- 24:00knew. And also there's a lot of like repro um like basis of the
- 24:06ring and repro ropes, like if I get this ring, it's gotta be
- 24:10in box baby. Yeah. And I guess there's like two versions of the
- 24:14ring. There's like the regular one with like the gray canvas, and then
- 24:18there's like the one the red campas that's like the steel cage one, but
- 24:21I wanted the regular one. And one popped up on eBay and have you
- 24:26set saved this since that day? Okay? And one that's been months right,
- 24:32one popped up on eBay and uh it is bro It's I don't have
- 24:37this in hand yet, full disclosure, but it is the Away All Star
- 24:41Wrestling UM Battle Royal place it with the gift set. It's the gift set,
- 24:48so it has has seven figures with it. It's not sealed, is
- 24:51it? It's sealed? What did you favor this? So? Now I
- 24:55guess there's two versions of this, But the version I have, uh or
- 24:57we'll have comes with Rick Martzel, the Fabulous Ones, Baron von Rashki.
- 25:03Um, who else it come with? Let me see here, Lars a
- 25:06bisco Ric flair and the referee. So some of things already have like already
- 25:08has the bisco Y flair. I don't know. I don't honestly, I'm
- 25:11a little naive to these figures, so I don't know these are the versions
- 25:15I have. I wonder if Cone needs the ref and we'll definitely need the
- 25:19refer he's not getting it. I just wondering, Um, so was this
- 25:25ring? This is dumb? I can't believe I'm asking me something, Michael
- 25:26Jordan. Was this release without the battle oil? I believe? So I'm
- 25:32sure it was. It had to be right, Yeah, But I figure
- 25:36this one that comes with just Mark Tell and somebody. I don't know,
- 25:40but there's definitely a battle row where it comes with other seven guys so m
- 25:44I got this. It is sealed nineteen eighty five Remco ring. This was
- 25:48another situation where he had the best offer and I kept going and it was
- 25:51like the automatic declines, the automatic declines, and automatic decline is like okay,
- 25:56this person's not playing ball at all. So you're like, okay,
- 25:57So I think the price was around like that just goes how much I paid
- 26:02Michael Jordanyey as well. Yeah, sure, so it was around like I
- 26:04don't quote me on eppisode onund like thirteen hundred bucks. So I think I
- 26:07first started like seven fifty automatic decline. Then I went to like maybe like
- 26:11nine hundred automatic decline. I'm like, and I think I only had like
- 26:15one more left. I hate that's scary too when we get to that point.
- 26:18Yeah, that two. But I wasn't sure. So it's like,
- 26:19you know what this this mother effort? Um? Oh wow, you just
- 26:22told me a picture of the A W A Ring without the figures. Yeah,
- 26:26that's crazy. So you're kind of there was the cage version, there's
- 26:29this version, and at least two Battle Royal versions. Yeah. Um so
- 26:34in a way, so I'm like, this mother effort probably has like uh,
- 26:38well not even, um, not even like play with bids under a
- 26:45thousand bucks, you know exactly. So I went into a thousand bucks and
- 26:48one dollar accepted. Oh my god, I'm your last one. Yeah,
- 26:55I think I might have had one more left, but I went into a
- 26:57thousand and one, So I'm a thousand dollars one. Broski, what's first
- 27:00of all, listen all that piss me off? If it's been a thousand
- 27:03bucks, you can judge me. Twenty nine five shipping, yeah, come
- 27:07on yeah yeah yeah ah sorry twenty fifth shipping, but still still um getting
- 27:12this in the mail, and I'm gonna let this baby breathe because I want
- 27:15to build that ring. Guys, there is not a Champion Clashers Rhino on
- 27:19eBay. Um, if you want to be if you have that mint on
- 27:22card, do you want to be trades together week? Because bros get a
- 27:25point at a twenty year old flaw in my childhood rhino figure. Thanks a
- 27:30lot. And honestly, I don't know if I overpaid for this ring or
- 27:32not, because there there so don't think that price didn't surprise. There's so
- 27:37a few of far between. There was no I was just sold listings.
- 27:41There was nothing, so they don't pop up that off. And I mean
- 27:45you've clearly you've been watching it for at least three to four months. And
- 27:48there there's a cage match like Mint in Box, but it's like way too
- 27:52much money. It's like I think it's like two thousand bucks on there.
- 27:53Really, yeah, I can start right now. Actually, um yeah,
- 27:57I think it's like two thousand bucks. And those user I mean you think
- 28:02about like LJN's and Hasbro's becoming extinct. These have cloth clothing, like they're
- 28:07really like gonna be extinct soon or later. And even even the ring it's
- 28:11it's cloth, it's fabric canvas and yeah, exactly. Yeah, so it's
- 28:17really really hard to find these in tip top shape. Um yeah, look,
- 28:22there's a the Cage play set two thousand and five hundred fifty dollars best
- 28:27Offer, no Way and Steal Seal Seal. That's cool though, it's cool,
- 28:34but come on, not that cool. And there's one loose cage match
- 28:37two thousand dollars. Whoa. I mean, if you really wanted that badly,
- 28:42I spend the show five Yeah. Yeah, no other rings available,
- 28:48so I got that and that is a that's it for Weekly purchases for me.
- 28:55I have another story. Last week I disclosed that my Ljan collection was
- 29:00down to the final ten. Yeah, it's the final nine. And I
- 29:04don't know how this happened because I had just dealt with Zoro Mendez, the
- 29:08Aljan Whisper, and I said, hey, this is my ten, this
- 29:15is who I need. He said, okay. I bought the or before
- 29:18it was ten. It was whatever, down to thirteen fourteen. I bought
- 29:22the Billy Jack from him and the Warrior right. And then this week I
- 29:26think it was you and the bus. You go, do you have this?
- 29:27And I go no, and it was he just posted on Instagram this
- 29:30beautiful cocoa. Beware. I went, dude, I wrote on the post,
- 29:33dude, what do you do? What? And uh, we worked
- 29:37it out and he sent me that coco. It's like unreal mint out of
- 29:41the body. I just saw it'sco and Frankie, which how about there's Since
- 29:45I've been searching this so much, there's repro Frankie's on Facebook, eBay.
- 29:52Wow, and it says in the title but still still scary, right.
- 29:56There was a bunch of repro lj N accessories that saying the title on the
- 30:00eBay that they are. I was just in my parents' house and I went
- 30:03through my old L. James. Those the only childhood figures I kept um
- 30:07And it's surprising, like how many of the accessories I did still have.
- 30:11Frankie was one of them, and I still have, like the snake dam
- 30:14it all chewed up I had. This is the best one that I saw.
- 30:17I had the hockey talk Man guitar, like were you what's it called?
- 30:21You? Like we tune it at the top. Things Those were all
- 30:23like chewed off when I was a kid. I was a kid. Still
- 30:26they're like my baby toys. But the best part, the best part about
- 30:30this is on the back of that guitar in Penn, I wrote don't piss
- 30:36me Off. I used to use it for the Jeff Jared Yeah Big.
- 30:44Also in Zoro's package with some more gifts. It seems to be the trend
- 30:48here. So I'm gonna slide these two over to you right now for you
- 30:52to wow. You're gonna have to describe, Okay. One of them is
- 30:56one of these lj and stands I was talking about that's definitely made with a
- 31:00three D printer. I could just tell by the quality of it right?
- 31:03What he doesn't sell stands, does he? I have no idea a distributor
- 31:06of stands. I don't know. He just told me, Hey, there's
- 31:07some extra stuff in there. This is cool. There's a white one.
- 31:10So are you gonna have this for something? No? I don't want it.
- 31:12No, I was gonna give it a cone to put its standard referee.
- 31:15I do that. There looks like a wide stand. If not gonna
- 31:21fit, yeah, I don't have to reference fit on there. He put
- 31:22one foot in and then hope he maybe these are very cool. It's a
- 31:26white one. The real LJAN stands. As we talked about LJN stand guy
- 31:30on Instagram. I don't know if that's where you got this one from.
- 31:32It's still very cool, thank you. Speaking of cone in these stands,
- 31:36he like kind of, oh, trying to call me out, try to
- 31:38call us out about these. He's like, I remember going to the store
- 31:41the first day these came out and there were no stands. And do you
- 31:44believe him, because I mean, it happens all the time on here,
- 31:45Like I have vivid memories sometimes of going to the store and getting something and
- 31:49where I was and what happened because we're just right right there. There are
- 31:53versions of the original five without stands, but then there are versions with stands.
- 31:59You know, then this is not very common knowledge. And I didn't
- 32:02know about the stands until like probably when I told you about him a couple
- 32:07of years ago. Yeah, that's I was like, wait, I didn't
- 32:08have anything even when I a couple weeks ago when this came up and I
- 32:13Google searched, like on the air, it took a while to even find
- 32:17like images. Yeah, and the other gift is a zero Mendez pops.
- 32:27So I think officially, if he's got pop sockets, we need pop sockets.
- 32:32That's ridiculous. I can't believe this. He's branding. That's branding right
- 32:39there. So I feel like, glue this onto my phone? Came Oh,
- 32:42it's a sticker. It comes off right off and on that way,
- 32:45Like if you don't like where it is, you can just peel it and
- 32:46do it again. Should I really put this on my phone? Sure?
- 32:49Where do you put it? Like? Everyone's different, is what command explained
- 32:52to me. Like mine is almost dead center, but a little bit lower
- 32:55because I have the eight plus or whatever, it's a bigger screen. Will
- 33:00it come off if I put in the wrong spot. I just said that
- 33:02it's a stick or so you can read it's purposely. It's sticky enough to
- 33:07stay. But if you don't like where it is, you just yank on
- 33:09it comes. Yeah, you're a sick of you. You're sick. Rewind
- 33:21that you're talking about bill watches of nxdches different. Yank and it comes.
- 33:42I drew the line. I was walking on it. You just crossed the
- 33:45line. I don't think so you're laying it. I'm pretty thick. Oh
- 33:51my god, oh my god. All right, so I'll put on this
- 33:59pop side. Get this Zoras pop socket. Um, I'll tell you what
- 34:05another thing from our trip now that, like I said, all the downtime,
- 34:08I was on my phone so much, I'm full blown, like I'm
- 34:14into the pop socket thing. It's just easier. Yeah, if you want
- 34:17to do that the tripe, I think I'll like kick it to the side
- 34:21or something a little bit more. Take a picture of me holding the pop
- 34:22socket. I'll tag him and it'll be all excited. Thanks. Or I'm
- 34:32gonna keep this on my phone until it falls off. Cabanas kind of work
- 34:37cheap. Get some pop sockets for us I'm gonna do it now, all
- 34:39right? What else we be on weekly purchases? Oh? The main event?
- 34:45Oh yeah, sitting right next to me here, I cannot wait for
- 34:50this, cannot believe that we were overseas for this. Can I can I
- 34:54just call out John again? Can I please listen? Ringside John Trevor,

- 39:01collector case, the old school collector case. Yes, you open it up
- 39:06and you put your figures inside. Let's get to the mainument though. I'll
- 39:12let you open my round and I have to open the wire though. Okay,
- 39:16but how do you know these aren't mine? I ordered them too.
- 39:20I live here and they came to my house, so I'm going to assume
- 39:22their mine. So where am I sent to? Orlando? But then why
- 39:27wouldn't these be said? I don't know. Maybe he thinks I want them.
- 39:30No, but I ordered these from John. I don't know. We'll
- 39:37figure it out. I'll have to text them either way. Let's not ruin
- 39:38the segment here. First of all, let's let's take a look the packaging
- 39:43here. Um, awesome, It shows it got altered a little bit.
- 39:49Yeah, remember the bubble was red. I don't recall that. Um,
- 39:53the bubble was read for sure. I do read at toy Fair. I
- 39:58do like that. You see everything you're getting, you see all the arms,
- 40:00you see the hands, you see the heads. Actually it wasn't like
- 40:04a flap too or no, might make that up. Then you might be
- 40:06making it up. And on the back the bubble is definitely red. The
- 40:08back it shows the Runda figure all posed, It shows her stats. Then
- 40:14it shows her like in real life, wearing the gear. So let's open
- 40:17her up. These are beautiful. Oh my god, very cool, ultimate
- 40:22articulation for authentic posability. Oh man, taking out the arms, the hands,
- 40:34the jacket, My god, a lot of stuff going on here.
- 40:37The kilts. I think they're truly ultimate. I'll tell you that. Wow.
- 40:49I'm a big fan of the jacket idea. Like I can't wait for
- 40:52that Brett. So there's rounda with a ponytail where there's hair up hair down.
- 41:01So the one that's on her is like hair braided, mean mugging,
- 41:07then the other like ponytail, and then the other one is like a ponytail
- 41:10like smile wow, and then there's the like hair down like you know,
- 41:17like smiling. Yeah. The heads are pretty easy to pop on and off,
- 41:23isn't bad? Yeah? Usually Actually they're even like the wrists. I
- 41:28was concerned about the hands, like with my daughter, like playing with my
- 41:31figure with the removable hands. But they're not that easy to get off.
- 41:34Like it's almost perfect, like it's not too hard to get off, but
- 41:37it's not that easy either. They're all the joints that the toes, the
- 41:42waist, like the crunch on. Let's put this skilt on. Let's see.
- 41:45Let's see that. Really see the jacket? You want to do all
- 41:46that? Yeah? Can you do it? You pop off the arms here?
- 41:53Oh man, that's a little tough. I'm putting them to the test.
- 41:57It's like building legos. That's why I don't do legos. Oh my
- 42:00god. You put the jacket on. Sure, you know how people's anatomy
- 42:04works, like you know, arms, legs. See what I like about
- 42:07this is that the jacket so it's like a rubber like coat apart, but
- 42:14the sleeves are plastic and the arms are plastic. Yeah, it's i'tmember how
- 42:19this has never been thought to be done. It took this long, Like
- 42:22Brett. That's gonna be game change to have Brett like that. Oh my
- 42:23god, for sure. No offense to rounda. But I think Brett is
- 42:27the most famous leather jacket wearing wrestler of all time? Now putting it in
- 42:31the hands. You know, what are those things? I'm not I'm not
- 42:37a lego guy nervous? Is that as easy as it looks? But these
- 42:45are definitely ultimate? Oh my god, these are the most detailed figures of
- 42:51all time. What does round to wear in their hands? Can you describe
- 42:52those? They're like finger wrist wraps? But she like gives them to a
- 42:59fan before she works, right, she doesn't even like does she worked in
- 43:01him? Does she? I'm not quite sure. I'm not quite sure.
- 43:05Any there? Why are you doing that? Let me look at this?
- 43:07This Summer Slam Razor and Bret Hart basic Uh flashback nineteen ninety one for Brett,
- 43:13flashback ninety four for Razor um this is basic ninety seven. Also in
- 43:17the line is Jeff Hardy Mays who has a Chase AJ styles all based off
- 43:21Summer Slam attires. And uh, this Razor is cool and this Brett is
- 43:24even better. I was thereving Brett won the icy title um from It is
- 43:30the Perfect and Summer Slam mess Work Garden, so I needed that figure.
- 43:32And I'm a huge razormone fan, so I needed that figure as well.
- 43:36I wish there would have been some chest hair on the Razor, but I
- 43:37get it in the basic complained about chess there. Yeah, I mean I
- 43:40wish there. I mean, Razor is a hairy guy. Um, it's
- 43:45Ronda rules, man, you know I'm gonna open the razors. Two live
- 43:50on boxing was going down here at the Sling figure pot. I wanted to
- 43:52check if they had one elbow pad painted, and they do so authenticity are
- 43:58Yeah, so that is correct. One elbow pad is painted, the other
- 44:00is not. I wish there was some chest hair, but that's that's fine.
- 44:02It's not it gets a stubble and uh, I'll open the hit Man.
- 44:07Why not doing blow my mind? Like and I'm sure like the action
- 44:10figure photography guys will have their way with these, but the options are like
- 44:15endless, Like I don't even know. I'm looking at this Ronda and I'm
- 44:17trying to think of, like how do I want to display this? Like
- 44:21what what gets? What? You know? Um, this Brett is pretty
- 44:24damn perfect. I think the logo and the chest is a little too big,
- 44:30but beggars can't be choosers, you know, it should be a little
- 44:31smaller and than like not centered. But I'll take it beggars can't be choosers.
- 44:37Uh, A lot of a lot of detail on this the Ping of
- 44:39Black Attack um, and we have plenty of icy titles that we can put
- 44:43with Razor or Brett. So I'm not sure if there's a new headscope on
- 44:46Brett. Possible it might be UM. But yeah, this Razor and Brett
- 44:52really cool purchases. Pick those up from ringside collectibules and that's where you can
- 44:58get these ultimates, the only place that they're in stock for anyone wondering.
- 45:01I went with the mean round to face because that's just how I like to
- 45:06remember. Okay, that's cool, put the check it on, put the
- 45:08killed on, and I still have all the sex stuff. Oh the Ultimate
- 45:13Warrior Baby Ultimate Edition, Ultimate Warrior, the first ever WC representation of the
- 45:19Ultimate Isn't it crazy? This guy's had like but it's not the first WCW
- 45:23representation. What are you counting his his exclusives? Yes, that's crazy though,
- 45:28that's not that's not to the mass market. That's the mass to the
- 45:30people. This is the first time you know a civilian canna w Ultimately,

- 46:15of opens like a shoe box. Oh I just ripped mine, okay.

- 46:47a shoe box. It's beautiful, like the bubble. We'll fit right back
- 46:52in there. I guess it's kind of meant to be that way because there's
- 46:54details and things you can't see. Marky, what's going on? Man?
- 47:00You're you're live on the major rest of your podcast. You blew us off

- 48:37know, because we're good friends. I was like, do you have any
- 48:38critiques on the show or anything? And you know his response was, what,
- 48:43no critiques at all? Except for when they choose smart suites, he
- 48:46said, And he said, I actually wish the show was longer. Whoa
- 48:52see, Mark, I've been called you up in the beginning. You wanted

- 49:30Yeah, the bush bat All right, all right, Mark, we're in
- 49:32the middle of unboxing the new Ultimate edition figures. So we're gonna have to
- 49:38go. This episode is gonna be like two and a half hours long.
- 49:40But all right, don't you any more smart suites? Um, we don't.
- 49:45We don't have any of this. If they're a proud sponsor of the
- 49:47show, I have a ton in the cabin over every once somebody, Well
- 49:51next, I'm fasting right now, Mark, Yeah, um, all right,
- 49:53let's get back to the show. Alright, good, all right,
- 49:55see monk, alright, Altimate Warriors out of the bubble. This is crazy,
- 50:02bro. I'm just looking at this jacket, the jacket, the the
- 50:09deco on the tights is out of control. You know. The first thing
- 50:13that I liked about this Warrior jacket it looks like it won't stain the figure.
- 50:17Well, let's not put that in people's heads if we don't know.
- 50:22Um, he has removable tassels. I've never seen the history of Ultra Warrior
- 50:27figures. They're like they plug into his kneepad. That's awesome, like almost
- 50:31like the way a little plug on a championship title would. Oh wow.
- 50:37Um. Oh, you know what's funny. He has this tatto of himself,
- 50:42which not a lot of has some have had that, but not sure
- 50:45because he had that only in like his brief ninety six runs at the b
- 50:49and then obviously someone complaining about the torso being different than Elites. I mean
- 50:58like cosmetically it looks exactly the same. Yeah, it moves very cool.
- 51:01I mean I'm done with that. The skull detailing and the trunks and the
- 51:07kneepads and the risk is incredible. I see you were talking about with the
- 51:15they plug in, you gotta push them in and the other line, I
- 51:17kind of wish they were already in. To be honest, I think it's
- 51:21meant to be, like maybe that's just kind of popped out. Um.
- 51:24The other I mean very cool and well, I guess kind of you think
- 51:29about it like crazy idea that like this is the first time Warrior has had
- 51:34a figure where the paint is coming off, which is incredible on purpose,
- 51:37you know, he's he's battle ridden Ultimate Warrior, you know, deep into
- 51:42a match which was you know, if you grew up watching him, that's
- 51:45what it was, you expect him to look like that is amazing. Yeah,
- 51:47it's pretty ridiculous. Um, you know what we should do? What
- 51:51should we do? We should give away an Ultimate Editions Ultimate Warrior holes because
- 51:55you know what, we didn't mention the giveaway. Maybe that's where you're set
- 51:59is I'm gonna give away my own set. Doesn't make sense. Um,
- 52:04I'm gonna win my own giveaway. No? Um okay. So last week

- 54:09one. I gotta like, you know, so you're giving all these hands
- 54:14obviously the ultimate head the alternate head, and they said ultimate, So yeah,
- 54:21you gotta make as a I feel like as a collector and someone that
- 54:22displays these things, you gotta make some choices here, you know, right,
- 54:25And I'm just putting the rhyndo next to the bread heart. They're all
- 54:30in scales, so basics, elites, an ultimate or all in scale.
- 54:32That's a great job at Mattel. It's not like what we complain about all
- 54:36the time about our three's and tighten drums and the massacre that that was.
- 54:39I mean, this is all. It's just continuation, one big, happy
- 54:44family, all look like exactly the same, except when they're on display.
- 54:47Articulation doesn't matter, you know what I'm saying. But if we want to
- 54:50display do something photographers it does. That's how you pose them. Well,
- 54:53I just display them kind of like standard. I don't know how that's so
- 54:57boring to me. I don't know how you do that, But for should
- 55:00your photography stuff like that? Oh my god, the tassel has a joint,
- 55:05so if I raised his hand, I can lower the tassel like they're
- 55:07hanging. Why that's wild, And I think that explains the boot thing.
- 55:14Why it like that running It can be like yeah, yeah, oh my
- 55:19god, this is the great. Oh you got us, bro, you
- 55:22got you little sweaty punk Bill. I know the back of these trunks a
- 55:27own, but you just made me h A r D. And we'll end
- 55:30weekly purchases with us a superstar Kurt Hawkins. And if you're hearing some background
- 55:37noise in this episode, that is because we are in our home away from
- 55:39home WW Catering, hiding in a room behind it or not so much room.
- 55:49Yeah. I searched high and low, uh in this arena in Everett,
- 55:53Washington. Beautiful take a beautiful Everett Washington. Was looking for an empty
- 55:59room, not find anything. So we are in the back of catering and
- 56:04we are hoping that it's pretty quiet. This is as quiet as it's going
- 56:08to be and you're getting a full day in the life experience here of Brian
- 56:12and Matt h Matthew, I know we have to get down to business here,
- 56:15but yeah, first things first, we just had to scroll through the
- 56:20Facebook Patreon secret group yes to find these questions. It is a secret group
- 56:27business. You know, it's called a secret group. And of one of
- 56:31our major marks are loyal. Patrens posted a picture of a signed Basic Series
- 56:37Tan Zach Writer actually figure with a distinctively different autograph and what I have today,
- 56:44and a light bulb just went off in my head and I said,
- 56:46wait a second, that is what your autograph looked like. You've changed it
- 56:51drastically. Yes, and I'm going to say it's out of pure laziness.
- 56:54So defend yourself, explain yourself. I will give you the little backstory to
- 56:59this. Yeah, I never I don't know how. My first signature really
- 57:04it was Zach Rider legible legible. Now it's like a ze rye. And
- 57:12so what happened was in two thousand and eleven when the YouTube show Zcholing Island
- 57:20Story started taking off, WWE shop and WWE in the concession stands, the
- 57:27supernir stands were selling my headband. And with the headband they were selling like
- 57:31this autographed card, not quite an eight by ten, not quite a baseball
- 57:36card, like the middle of the road. Yeah, and I had to
- 57:39sign thousands at a time. So I quickly I saw my good friend John
- 57:45Cena, the broscue of the week John Cena, he has a little JC
- 57:50kind of deal. So I wanted to be like Sina and I thought this
- 57:53is very time effective. Is that the right phrase? One? And I
- 57:57switched up the cig because I had to sign thousands of these one. Did
- 58:02John Cena ever have a different autograph? I don't know, because I would
- 58:07like to really answer that too. If Bret Hart can have the most beautiful,
- 58:09legible autograph a wrestler who's a hundred times more famous than you, then
- 58:14you're just a lazy piece of thank you very much, Okay, just throwing
- 58:19it out. Thank you. Maybe I'm being an impigraph, but no matter
- 58:22how popular I ever get, there's no way I'm changing my autograph. I
- 58:24changed mine up like a mofo. That is, I just signing with Brotus
- 58:30when we both got fired. Yeah, and I was signing, like,
- 58:32you know, my autograph, which has been pretty much the same my whole
- 58:35it's got different but not it's the same autographs. Just I think I just
- 58:39I've changed as a person, you know. Um, and we had that
- 58:45battle pack, so I've seen a lot of those and like it would just
- 58:47say BC BC, like the laziest quickest, like Mackenzie could probably do it.
- 58:52She's too like it's the laziest little crappy or like autograph, Oh okay.
- 58:57And then one of the promoters was like, how come you can sign
- 59:00Kurt Hawkins and everything, but Brotus can't sign Brotus Clay on this stuff.
- 59:04I said, what are you talking about? He goes, so he told
- 59:06me he legally can't write. Oh my god. So I'm like, I
- 59:09was like, what are you talking about? I just kept doing what I
- 59:12was doing. It was bugging me at Like later that night, I'm laying
- 59:15in bed, go to the eBay app. I read Brotus clay autograph.
- 59:19Sure enough it was like fifty fifty like perfectly written out in script Brotus Clay
- 59:22legible. And then these lazy bcs will just he did exactly what you did
- 59:27out of pure laziness. He's altered his signature. Well, and I'll tell
- 59:30you what this signing with me and Brotus it was not all that popping he
- 59:34could, I would say, out of laziness. For me, more out
- 59:37of efficiency. But since I just answered your question, why don't we do
- 59:42what we're supposed to do here and answer the major Marx questions. We asked
- 59:45you, guys in the Patreon I was gonna ask you that in real life,
- 59:46so I might as well just get out of the Podura. Well,
- 59:49we asked the Patreon group would they want BCA series four or five and six
- 59:55for this bonus or Q and a uh, and they pick Q and A.
- 59:59So we asked you major marks with the questions. It's pretty shocked that
- 1:00:01what your questions were. Yeah, I thought the serious breakdown would well next
- 1:00:06next month. That's what we're gonna do. Let's do. Uh Bone Crunch
- 1:00:08is four or five and six if you haven't checked out the other bonus.
- 1:00:12Uh Bone Crunch is one through three and also every week of course the bonus
- 1:00:16let them breathe. So we're not gonna we don't have the time to answer
- 1:00:20everyone's question, but we will read what we think are the best ones.
- 1:00:22We'll skim through the Facebook group right now, and I will break our rules
- 1:00:25from the regular pot since you are our patreons, we can talk a little
- 1:00:29wrestling here. Doesn't have to always be figures, right right, So,
- 1:00:31and I'll go with the first let's not make it oh yeah, completely that,
- 1:00:35but obviously we won't mind it as much. It's a good question.
- 1:00:37Okay, so I'll go first. I'll read the first question here. Michael
- 1:00:39Dodeck, what wrestler do you currently enjoy working with and if you could work
- 1:00:45with any wrestler in the past, who would it be. Um? Currently,
- 1:00:49Um, the Brothers. We've been having a ball. I love working
- 1:00:53with Gallas and Anderson Usos are just great. Um. But like in my,
- 1:01:00oh my god, in my career, I loved working Um, I
- 1:01:02love workings. I love working Dolve Ziggler, love working Ambrose Czarrow, so
- 1:01:07many guys and some of I'm sure the same for you. Some of my
- 1:01:10favorite matches and what I feel my best matches were on live events. But
- 1:01:14there's more time and stuff like that, and the world will never see They're
- 1:01:16gone, not even a fun history's gone. I've got some badass matches,
- 1:01:20fun matches with he Slater, Um, Tyler Breeze, Cody Rose, even
- 1:01:25Adam Rose, my Canellis, um My. Probably my favorite opponent of all
- 1:01:32time is Trent Peretta, just because we wrestled so much and we're such close
- 1:01:37friends. Was just so easy and fun and creative and enthusiastic and everything that
- 1:01:42goes into making a good match. You know, we had um and then
- 1:01:45for whatever reason, throughout my career, I've been the most people I wrestled.
- 1:01:50There are probably justin Gabriel and Apollo Cruise, but I also love wrestling
- 1:01:52both. Right, they're very, uh, just guys. I kind of
- 1:01:55think like myself. They can do a little bit of everything, so it's
- 1:01:59just kind of fun to put stuff together, very laid back, and I'm
- 1:02:01so married to their ideas and they can chill out and have a good time,
- 1:02:07and that's what I think wrestling should be. Yeah, and I guess,
- 1:02:08uh, guys, who I wish I would have worked Um, I
- 1:02:12wish I would have worked Edge. I was lucky porched enough to work Christian
- 1:02:15a bunch of times, but I wish I would have worked Edge. Do
- 1:02:19you remember there was a live event only one loop where we had like in
- 1:02:22the main event, he like had turned on all of La Familiar on TV,
- 1:02:27so for only that weekend, we'd come out in the main event.
- 1:02:30He'd try to powder up the aisle and we'd come out and we'd have to
- 1:02:31like punch him back to the rank. I have no memory that you remember
- 1:02:34that. I remember feeling like, oh, I hate this, I don't
- 1:02:36want to be doing this. Oh I don't remember that at all. Yeah,
- 1:02:38it was one weekend we did, so it was probably two live events
- 1:02:40somewhere which I don't remember. But I would have loved to have wrestled Edge
- 1:02:44Um. Realistically, people that we didn't wrestle, that I wish we had
- 1:02:49wrestle, that I wish. Okay, that's a good saying. I think
- 1:02:52they were saying, like dream opponents, because obviously I loved to Wrestle of
- 1:02:57the Warrior from my little indie run. I'm like pretty upset that I didn't
- 1:03:01get to wrestle Sabuk and Shane Douglas, because those are two guys are still
- 1:03:07you know, if you book them in twenty nineteen, they still go out
- 1:03:10there and they try their best to put on a real deal a wrestling match.
- 1:03:15And I was at a couple of shows with um, actually both of
- 1:03:21them, I could say, but Shane Douglas in particular, who like really
- 1:03:24like went all out and I had like really fun I remember he wrestled Janella
- 1:03:28and one of these a show that I was on, and I was like,
- 1:03:30they're just brawling around this building in New Jersey and like two hundred fans
- 1:03:34and I'm like, oh man, look I was jealous and this was so
- 1:03:36fun. I wish I could do that. That was a very good question,
- 1:03:38Michael. Um, let's get another one. Here we go. Uh,
- 1:03:45what's one acts from Zachary Allen? What's one action from classic Hasbro's that
- 1:03:49hasn't been used for Mattel retro that you'd want to see? Um? The
- 1:03:52clothes line? Just just kidding, just kidding, um hmmm. I thought
- 1:03:59I idly, I'm like, why do not more have the Roman punch?
- 1:04:01Like just Roman has it? Yeah? No one else like punch? You
- 1:04:05know. I think that's a very basic one that could be used for so
- 1:04:09many guys, Like it doesn't have to be your signature move. Anyone can
- 1:04:11do it punch, you know, So like why not? Um, I
- 1:04:14would have that was odd? I would have to say, no one has
- 1:04:16done the like the skinner Jian gonzalas Ultimate Warrior three where you push their legs
- 1:04:23out in there, arm arms start going crazy. It's not been done.
- 1:04:27But it's also to me not very desirable thing. Those are not like my
- 1:04:30favorites. I liked it. It was cool. I just did I just
- 1:04:34said the punch, but they made the punch. Oh are you saying,
- 1:04:38but then that's that's really it? Right? No, they never did.
- 1:04:41Like the DBAs too, Like I RS stop, it's very similar to what
- 1:04:45you just said, like bushwhacker stomp. That's not very desirable either. I
- 1:04:48guess, yeah, well that could be like a curb stop. That's true,
- 1:04:53you know what I'm saying. Maybe for series or eleven or twelve or
- 1:04:56thirteen, Tom Slimy Boy, Tom Sliney with all the belts we've seen and
- 1:05:02gotten from Mattel for figures, which ones are you dying for us to see
- 1:05:05the feature? I need a w w US title. Great call there,
- 1:05:09I think that I agree w cw US. I would also love to see
- 1:05:14uh ecw uh got that beautiful CW title, but nothing else. I would
- 1:05:17love the TV title TV title or like an RVD or something would be for
- 1:05:20sure. There's one title. I can't believe this. I love that.
- 1:05:27Um what else is mis sense A class? I mean I don't think they
- 1:05:30have the rights there. It's not really possible to like an nWay like the
- 1:05:33traditional Yeah, obviously that would be amazing, but it's just uh, it's
- 1:05:39a pipe dream At this point, I got you. Um, okay,
- 1:05:43how do you its from Emon American? How do you feel about a tag
- 1:05:46team champs two PAC only coming with one belt and he uses the pick of
- 1:05:49us uh with the one title? Yeah, I mean I think I think,
- 1:05:55well, one stupid two that's from the dying days of Jack's where things
- 1:05:59are, So that's even the cost cut version of that adrenal impact we've discussed
- 1:06:01in the pockets. They switched to mics that goes to just a microphone,
- 1:06:04no belt, and we lost the deco on our gear. Um, I
- 1:06:08don't I don't mind it. Uh. I mean, obviously I wish it
- 1:06:13would have came with two, but at the time those titles were so plentiful,
- 1:06:18so many extras. Anyway, and if I were to let this broth
- 1:06:23and display it, of course I'd put the title on me and not you.
- 1:06:27Wayne Guitard, what would be your wish list if Mattel started doing an
- 1:06:31LJ in or Remco style? Oh well, let's just pick one one rec
- 1:06:36is not on my like, I don't wish for that, yeah, but
- 1:06:39LJAN the fact they've done so Jack's tried it. Jack's tried it, and
- 1:06:44I for one. I'm not a fan because it wasn't very similar. Mattel
- 1:06:48did such a great job, you know, reimagining Hasbro's that I would love
- 1:06:54if they tried the lgns, like if it would be good. I honestly
- 1:06:58like, I just want them to keep doing the retros. Same here.
- 1:07:00I honestly the end of the day, yes, but I feel like they
- 1:07:02could do a good job of the ljms. Yeah, I'm just now,
- 1:07:04I just let's say one of the time. Let the retro you know what
- 1:07:08I'm saying. Let the retros keep the focus on those retros. In my
- 1:07:14opinion, UM, okay, this is from Lewis fraggo with your podcast including
- 1:07:18your real names. Do you now find an acceptable fans referred to you guys
- 1:07:21by them or still your w W names. That's a very interesting question.
- 1:07:25I remember like people would try to be smart hi, Matt Cardona, like
- 1:07:30they wikipedia be at Summer SIME ninety eight on Sunday Night Heat before I went
- 1:07:35live, Edge sat right in front of me like to get that crowd shot,
- 1:07:39and he was like the stranger lurking in the crowd, and I was
- 1:07:42such a little smart mark piece of shit. I kept going Adam Copeland,
- 1:07:45Adam Copeland, but just being a little bitch. Now I think of that
- 1:07:49and uh, personally and that doesn't bother me. Um, I'm in a
- 1:07:55weird scenario where I mean, you can back this up because you work with
- 1:07:58me, But like, no one really calls me Kurt. Everyone calls me
- 1:08:01Hawkins. Yeah, so people call me Kurt. I don't even really turn
- 1:08:04my head, but Hawkins. Obviously I'll answer too. So I don't know.
- 1:08:08I mean, people here call me rider, Zach Browsky. Nobody calls
- 1:08:12me Matt. No one really calls you mad. No. I think people
- 1:08:14are calling us Brian Matt more than ever. Yeah, because like you had
- 1:08:17like your indie run before our our big well, I mean our big run
- 1:08:21before you were Brian Myers and I was Brett And that doesn't care Matthews.
- 1:08:27But people at least you were like no one professionally as Brian Myers and to
- 1:08:30some people, as see, half the people in this locker room and people
- 1:08:31that work backstage met me in that indie run between TNA and Indies, right,
- 1:08:38I met them there and they met me as Brian. So I don't
- 1:08:40even know Kurt Hawkins. You know what I mean, as odd as that
- 1:08:43sounds, I was, you know, abyss Sanjay and Jeff like all these
- 1:08:45guys, they don't know me as that right, and like for me not
- 1:08:48that I was hiding my real name. It was obviously public knowledge, but
- 1:08:51I never really used it. But now with the podcast, since it's take
- 1:08:57a shot, since this is ours, it's actually a blessing in disguise.
- 1:09:01Is because now people more people know me as Matt Cardona aka Zach. Right,
- 1:09:05I like this question. I'm gonna call you out on it, Lewis
- 1:09:09Fraga. Zach has mentioned many times how he is not just a question by
- 1:09:14him. That's fine, Okay, you can't get more than one, okay.
- 1:09:16Zach has mentioned many times how he does not collect the current roster,
- 1:09:19only the classic superstars, but he doesn't think it was ever explained why that
- 1:09:23is. Is Zach not a fan of today's roster? Would he find it
- 1:09:27odd to collect figures of his co workers? Or is he just a that
- 1:09:30much more of a fan of the characters you grew up watching? And will
- 1:09:32today's roster ever be classicston which I think yes? And will you probably go
- 1:09:38back and pick those up too? Which I think ye. Well, I
- 1:09:40mean my answer to that is this um. Now, obviously I've made some
- 1:09:44exceptions, but we debuted in WW in two thousand and seven, so I
- 1:09:48use that as my cutoff for my Mattel's. So that's with the flashbacks,
- 1:09:55I go up to two thousand and seven. I've made a couple exceptions,
- 1:09:58like, for instance, guys who I wrestled with on ECW for some reason,
- 1:10:01I made some exception, but uh. And then also with the my
- 1:10:09Jacks, with this aggression collection, I figure like they made us in that
- 1:10:13era, so like why not get one of each guy? But for my
- 1:10:16Mattel collection, it's two thousand and seven because there's like no offense and these
- 1:10:20guys in the roster um it would just be never ending and then you have
- 1:10:25to get like every version of them or every couple versions of this guys.
- 1:10:29But I'm not gonna do with Mattel, and I guess never say never,
- 1:10:31but as of now, that's a big never. Thank you down the line
- 1:10:38as time passes, I don't think so because like for instance, like okay,
- 1:10:42the new Ghostbusters movie, like I didn't get those or any of the
- 1:10:45new incarnations of the Ninja Turtles. I don't get those if they make new
- 1:10:48Ninja Turtle figures, but if it's of the classic turtles, I'll get them.
- 1:10:51Okay, I'm obviously more to my childhood. Um um um. I
- 1:11:00think that's it for the show this week. You know, I try to
- 1:11:02keep these things to just about an hour, maybe an hour and a half
- 1:11:08of I'm feeling ZESTI that day. But you know, the show's great.
- 1:11:11I could, like I said, I could put entire episodes up, but
- 1:11:14I tried to chop it up a little bit. I try to mix it
- 1:11:16up. But if you don't like the format of the show, let me
- 1:11:19know. Um this is I think the best way for me to give you
- 1:11:24guys little snippets into the pass into the history of the Major Wrestling Figure podcast.
- 1:11:30And as always I've been your host, Jay George, And you know,
- 1:11:33i'll plug create a pro for July thirtieth, but I'll plug the fact
- 1:11:38that I now have for the first time ever, I got some some items
- 1:11:44come to the merch table that everyone's gonna got stickers, and I got film
- 1:11:47slates. Film slates are officially available. Come see me July thirtith and and
- 1:11:54if you're if you're gonna see me and you heard this, I'll give you
- 1:11:57a little discount. I'll give you five dollars off because you're the real one,
- 1:12:00because you're the one that's rocking with me. Because I know for a
- 1:12:03matter of fact, as a matter of fact, I know, as a
- 1:12:08matter of fact, that there's not a lot of people listening right now.
- 1:12:12Everybody's tuned out and everybody's deleted the podcast by the time I even started talking
- 1:12:17at the end of this thing. Because you don't listen for me, You
- 1:12:20don't listen for Jay George. You guys, listen for Matt Brian and hell,
- 1:12:26you even listen for Mark Stone and bully for them. Bully for them,
- 1:12:30because they're the ones that built this thing. This is what the podcast.
- 1:12:33It's not the Jay George rewind all right. I don't have almost five
- 1:12:39years of extensive podcasting history that you could go back and pick in. No,
- 1:12:44No, I don't have any of that. The boys did. They
- 1:12:46built this thing. They made it possible for me. I came up with
- 1:12:49the idea. That's it. I just pitched them the idea, an idea
- 1:12:53that I ripped off. I ripped off this idea, all right, am
- 1:12:58I proud of it? Yes, because as smart people steal, you know,
- 1:13:01they steal ideas because that's how the world works. If you see something
- 1:13:04that works, you build on it. You don't try to reinvent the wheel.
- 1:13:09And there was nothing to reinvent here. I'm going off on a tangent.
- 1:13:12You're probably not even listening by this point, and that's fine. I
- 1:13:23don't need you all to keep listening. Spring was never waiting for a skirl.
- 1:13:30It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance. That's right,
- 1:13:38we're doing another song between the parted pages, and we're pressed in Love's
- 1:13:47hot fevered iron like a striped pair of pants. Here we go, and
- 1:14:00Arthur's Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet green nicing flowing down.
- 1:14:09Someone left the cake out in the rain. I don't think that I
- 1:14:15can take it because it took so long to bake it. And I'll never
- 1:14:20have that wrestapee again. Oh no, thank you guys so much for listening
- 1:14:33to the Major Wrestling Figure podcast rewind. I've been your host, Jay George.
- 1:14:40There will be another song for me all I will sing it. There
- 1:14:51will be another dream for me. Someone will bring it. I will drink
- 1:15:01the wine. While it is one. Never let you catch me looking at
- 1:15:08the sun. And after all the loves of my life, after all the
- 1:15:19loves of my life, you'll still be the one. Fuck it. I
- 1:15:27wasn't gonna keep going, but I will take my life into my hands and
- 1:15:34I will use it. I will win the worship in her eyes, and
- 1:15:46I will lose it. I will have the things that I desire, and
- 1:15:56my passion flow like the reverse to the sky. All right, here we
- 1:16:02go, And after all the loves of my life, oh, after all
- 1:16:11the loves of my life, I'll be thinking of you and wondering why how
- 1:16:25do I know the song so well? I don't know. It's just one
- 1:16:28of these things. I was just gonna do the first half of it,
- 1:16:30but I'm feeling it right now, so I'm gonna finish it off. I
- 1:16:32might not even put this in, but if I could get it one more
- 1:16:35time for the people, let's do it. The Garthur's Park is melting in
- 1:16:41the dark, all the sweet green nicey flowing down. Someone left to cake
- 1:16:48out in the rain. I don't think that I can take it because it
- 1:16:56took so long to bake it. And on that have that wrest up again.
- 1:17:08Oh no, thank you very much, y'all Major pod life. Finish
- 1:17:17your boy j G rocking it once again. Catch me at Create appro July
