0:40
edition of the Major Rewind, the only show that takes some of the best,
0:47
classic, ultimate, and defining major moments from the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast,
0:54
and I put it together for new and old Major Marks to enjoy.
1:00
This week on the show, we're all hungover from WrestleMania baby ha ha.
1:07
We hear some classic weekly purchases from twenty nineteen, as well as the infamous
1:14
TAZ WTF what the bleep Figure of the Week. And then we got the
1:21
world's largest incarnation of domination, the Giant, the Big Show Paul White,
1:27
and one of my favorite stories about The Big Show Paul White is told in
1:33
this incarnation. And let me tell you something, Jack, If you like
1:38
Q and Day, well, we got a whole bunch of it. We
1:40
have Q and Day from episode seventy three, as well as Q and D
1:46
from a special Q and Day episode from the WrestleMania Hangover baby ha ha ha.
1:52
And one of the cool things about this Q and Day is you hear
1:56
Matt and Brian prophesize about a potential action figure line made under the Major Pod
2:04
banner. And it's always cool when you hear I hear back a lot of
2:07
these clips, and you know, almost since the beginning of the podcast,
2:10
this has always been in the back of their minds that eventually they were going
2:15
to go out and do it. They were going to make their own figures,
2:16
and they willed it to existence. There's a lesson there. That's it.
2:22
Enjoy the show. This is Tyson Kidd, and you're listening to the
2:38
Major Wrestling Figure Podcast. But I called them wrestling dolls up until probably three
2:44
weeks ago, so I'm still transitioning to calling them wrestling figures. I listen
2:50
to these guys every single week as I'm driving from Roda SmackDown with many legit,
2:54
laugh out loud moments. Keep up the good work, guys. All
3:01
right, weekly purchases time mother some might cost it a little some might cost
3:20
a lot, but I'm the thousand dollar Browski and your figures will be bought.
3:38
All right, guys, it's weekly purchases. Time. I got a
3:40
bunch of things on here. We're a little backed up, a little backed
3:45
up, if you will. Um. The first thing I'm gonna go with
3:49
is the Perfect ten Jack's set, Jack specific, I finally got it.
3:54
We haven't done the pod, but I thought you got it months ago when
3:58
we talked about this. No no, no, no me, you and
4:00
David c Andrews it we're talking about it. Maybe that's what I'm mixing up
4:03
here. It's it's ten figures. It's called the Perfect there's two versions of
4:10
it, okay, and only Billy Guns different. Well Triple H is like
4:14
a DTA version, but that Yeah, everything has been released in another capacity.
4:20
Well it's so it's so weird. The bone counters like what was released,
4:24
what wasn't released. It's all like what you consider to be unofficial release
4:28
or not, because some things are a loose collector. All you need is
4:31
that Billy gunn Okay, So everything has been awesome. Something Rock, Triple
4:35
H, xbox Mankind, Big Show, Billy Gun, Road Dog, Cane
4:40
Undertaker and a kid Size in the back. But all those figures were released
4:46
in some other capacity except Billy Gun is in a white shirt and that is
4:50
in a black shirt, right, Okay, I believe that's the only thing,
4:55
pretty sure. So I got that. Um, not a bad deal.
4:59
I I got it for twenty nine dollars ten figures. What well,
5:04
twenty nine dollars shipping as well? I was okay, yeah, shipping.
5:11
But to get the one Billy Gun, to get a hall of paper,
5:12
Billy Gun in that black I think I says, come get some, Yeah,
5:16
come get some from that too tough. Yeah, but he's in the
5:19
white. Um. So I needed that, And I think there might be
5:23
some minor differences, but that's the most U dramatic difference. That's my first
5:30
weekly purchases. There's my story, and I know you're gonna cut a promo
5:33
on me here, let's hear it. Uh. So, I don't know
5:38
how this came about, if I found it or Tommy Boy from Massachusetts found
5:42
it. Some smart sweets, no, I wish. I wish we had
5:45
some right now that'd be hit the spot anyway. Uh, there's a lot
5:49
on eBay one, two, three, all three versions of Brett Hart and
5:55
hasbro Form. What do I need? A loose all away? But it
6:00
doesn't count? Why not? I don't know if this guy opened the back,
6:04
dude. If it's not, I don't know. If it's not in
6:06
the bag, it doesn't count. But how do I know this guy didn't
6:09
open the bag? And this is you don't know. That's why it doesn't
6:11
count. So how are we ever gonna? I really want to? I
6:15
mean, I thought you were the Scottie Pippin. I didn't realize you were
6:17
the you can't name another basketball players. He's never gonna. I can't count
6:25
anything. I can't name it. Okay, So anyway, so we find
6:29
this auction and we agree to cut a deal. I said, I need
6:32
the mail away bread or the foreign card Bret, whatever you want to call
6:35
it, and your neck of the Woods. And he needed the other two
6:40
Brets. I don't know why you didn't have either regular Bret. I think
6:42
Brett too. It's hard to get Brett two has become very difficult, and
6:45
price and I don't I don't know he needed both. I said, okay,
6:48
I said, here's the deal, whatever it ends at, I'll pay
6:53
half. You pay half and I get the the one I want, you
6:55
get the other two. It's a horrible deal on a voice part. Why
7:01
because you're getting this, You're not getting a real mail away. You're getting
7:04
this like but today people loose. That's there's no difference, and that is
7:09
what it is. And the farn one has become so you cannot it's not
7:12
the same man. A card is still gonna go for a time money.
7:15
You know, John from Brings Out has like five of them in the office.
7:19
Non information that could have been brought to my attention. Yeah, jod,
7:24
I need that anyway. So, uh, like we were all prepared
7:30
to spend like a decent amount of money on that lot. Like what would
7:31
you expect this lot to end at two fifty? Right? Okay? So
7:36
I said, hey, I have right here two h five or something I
7:40
put in. I said, that's the most you know, one hundred bucks
7:43
each ish you know, let's go at that it ended at one seventeen fifty.
7:48
That's proof right there that you didn't get the real mail away. But
7:50
there's no way I've ever proven that. And so I mean they came in
7:56
the bag. I have holding out of the bag now, So like there's
7:59
no point I'd have to go backwards. Okay, So I understand what you're
8:03
trying to do here. You know I need a loose taker, and I'm
8:05
done. You're trying to convince yourself. But I know that you know.
8:09
I don't know that. I know that you know because this Bret heart that
8:13
you have is that foreign one or the one that's not necessarily foreign. It's
8:16
just like the purple heart variant. Okay, and you know it's at the
8:20
mailwadre, but you don't want to admit yourself it's it's not the man.
8:22
How many people in nineteen ninety three you got these mailawaise and just opened them
8:26
out of the bag zillions. I don't know if there was a zillion bag,
8:31
but a good portion a lot. How we ever going to prove that
8:35
right? But you know in your loose collection, just you know in your
8:39
heart of hearts that Brett is nine times out of ten probably the regular Bret.
8:45
That true, That may be true. But if I'm a loose collector
8:50
saying figure, if you want to look at me your eyes, daddy has
8:54
a mad on card, I'm sorry, I'll lose collection. And this Brett's
8:58
a fake if you want to look at your daughter in the eyes to say
8:58
that, I think, go ahead. Do you expect me to pay twenty
9:03
times the price or something and then open it out of the bag and then
9:05
now it counts. It's not my loose collection. I think you should have
9:07
manned up and got all of them in the bag. Man, this bread,
9:13
I'm sorry, this bread does not count the bag I was, I
9:16
was. I don't know if I was dreading explaining this to you or it
9:20
doesn't count. I'm sorry. I have a bread, a purple heart bread,
9:24
and you know where it is. It's in the closet like I have
9:26
it. Like it's there, but doesn't count. It's not the man you
9:30
have the bag one on display? Yes, But isn't your bags the wrong
9:35
numbers? Yes? So you're not gonna ever fix that? Maybe one day,
9:39
pot kettle anyway, And I don't know what that means. We're moving
9:43
on all right. Another that I got, um okay um. You said,
9:50
like, who's your poppy? I said, I'm your poppy. You're
9:52
a real and mark. You can go ahead and edit this and give your
9:56
heads up. You're a real piece of aceh A scumbag. My cost a
10:03
little piece of my cost a lot. Give me the thousand dollars getting two
10:15
weeks of glory. You couldn't let me just fast, and your poppies will
10:18
be bought piece of a thank you to Matt Chappelle. Um, he had
10:26
all the poppies and full disclosure. I was working on a big deal to
10:31
get him all men on card and the price was going to be very,
10:35
very astronomical, over ten thousand dollars. God. And I'm like, listen,
10:39
I'm gonna open these mofos up. There's no way I'm paying these.
10:43
Yeah, I'm a loose collector. I'm not in the game to resell them.
10:46
And I like things. I want to let him breathe, to let
10:50
him breathe, especially the poppies. Carding is a little bizarre. There mostly
10:54
smashed and mush. Matt Chappelle legend in the business, unsung hero. Um,
11:00
he had the whole set. He said, Hey, I'll sum to
11:03
you for what I bought him for. I said, ching jing jing jing.
11:07
And I still had to be a decent man. Money. It was
11:11
decent amount of money. Let's talk about it. I'm not gonna talk about
11:13
well, you're being a real scumbag and you you I'll say this, I'll
11:16
say this less than three thousand, Okay, it's not horrendous for was it
11:22
ten? Yeah? And these are in fantastic shape. They go for like
11:26
two to four a piece. Loose right at him, all one shot,
11:31
all right? Not not bad. So thank you. Matt Chapelle. He
11:35
is on Instagram. He he Matt Chapelle is so much crazy. Hey,
11:41
but I feel like he's someone who like doesn't want to be known. And
11:43
he's probably gonna hate me for calling him out right now, but he does.
11:46
He does so much cool stuthing. Gonna get his Instagram right now.
11:50
Lousy childhood on Instagram and Twitter, I believe. Check him out. He
11:54
has so much cool stuff. He's a great old school collector. And uh,
11:58
I got those poppies, So Hawkins Myers, I'm your poet, You're
12:01
complete, I am your pocket. You're disgusting or poppy? Did you open
12:11
your red rooster? Did open my mister? Cock a doodle do? Awesome?
12:16
Blank a doodle doodle do? Great? Figure it with something. There's
12:20
something it's still not on for sale. Huh, it's hill. It finally
12:24
hit the target. Okay, I sell people obviously many a week was a
12:28
little hectic and I wasn't so glued to my phone, but it did not.
12:33
But it's fine there, Okay, So it's there. Target dot Com.
12:35
Get your red roosters. You're a blank. You got them sent to
12:39
us thanks to the Elite Squad and our oh my god, you got free
12:43
figures. Oh my god, all hell breaking list. Oh geez, we
12:46
had like ten figures a year. Chill you give me till a ninety minute
12:50
free podcast. Um, it's it's awesome. It's it's great, top There's
12:56
nothing to complain about it. It's just spot on, like perfect, and
13:01
I'm just so thrilled that I finally have it and it's not gonna not come
13:05
out, and I'm glad it's not like in some bin burning with all those
13:07
Harley Race Michaels. Those are coming big, the big lots. I believe,
13:16
I truly believe it. Marshall's one day they will be like the whole
13:18
Harley Race sets here and it's three. But that Terry Taylor is amazing,
13:24
all those things like the sho Isaac Yanko. You tell sorry, lest we
13:26
were Dad called him mister Rooster. Yeah, like we were liked at WrestleMania
13:33
and he kept called him mister Rooster. That's incredible. Oh man. Anyway,
13:39
great figure, pick it up Target dot com. I mean it's just
13:41
it's perfect. And I mean that's just one of those things I love,
13:46
Like Terry Taylor has had a figure, but I love when the only figure
13:48
has had him was that TNA figure. So it's like whatever, but just
13:52
the red Rooster never had a figure, So like this is fantastic. The
13:56
Jackets great, the red Mohawk. It's if you're a mint card collector,
14:01
it's fantastic. Um all right. Also, I want to talk about our
14:05
good friend, Hastele toy. Um, I got something from him. Friend,
14:09
Well he's our friend, Okay, I got has is gonna set about
14:15
that he finds all these hasbros. And uh, he's been rebuilding my little
14:20
brother Andrew's collection. So he got me a Yoko Zuna the red and black.
14:26
It was minty Minty loose. Got it from my brother Andrew. So
14:28
Hastle Toy, I want to say thank you for that. Um, last
14:35
time my list, I don't know if you have a ton more more.
14:37
Okay, well we both received retro series. Yeah, what are your thoughts
14:43
that Macho Man, Randy Savage, Samoa Joe, Randy Orton gold Dust.
14:48
I'm gonna say this right off the bat. I love these ret shows.
14:52
I don't want them to go anywhere. They are incredible. The matcha man.
14:56
When I first got it, I think we both said I thought it
14:58
was broken. It was broke. He doesn't do the clothes and he does
15:01
the chop. It scold us to end macho I know. I was like,
15:03
what's going on? But they do the flare. It's Flair's mechanism to
15:07
do the chop, not the Randy or Zach Ryder mechanism to do the forward.
15:13
Yeah. So it was like at first, I'm like, oh no,
15:16
what happened here? But it's pretty it once you realize that that's fine.
15:18
I take a comparison shot of the Macho Man with the green trunks Macho
15:22
Man, like only all podcasts can do that? Ye know, the podcast
15:26
could do that? So cool. Mattel did a great job switching to that
15:30
color or decided to do that color. I feel like apologies are in order
15:35
that Samojo is fine in that patented T shirt. Yeah, it's it works
15:39
like it's not it's not like a bad figure. I'd rather that than no
15:43
smo. Joe. I agree, and I we like made fun of it
15:46
a bunch on here. I'm still gonna make fun of it like that.
15:50
It was instead of like initially, and I'll admit this, I thought it
15:54
was like a lame tactic or like cheap. Now I feel like it's like
15:58
crafty and it like worked. It's a way to get him in the line,
16:00
a way to use that not a lot of hefty molds and has the
16:07
shorts in that line. So they in the shorts. Yeah, but there's
16:10
not like big dudes, So they did what they had to do. It
16:12
got some mojo on the line, So we're cool with that. M Randy
16:15
Orton's great. The deck and gold us finally with a gold es, I
16:21
don't have to use my thing. The yellow. I think gold is my
16:23
favorite of this and the way it comes off way it comes off, it
16:26
looks really cool. The face is a little heavier. It's just perfect.
16:30
I love that Ringsyle Collectibles has series eight and nine before the stores even have
16:33
eight. Well that's their business, but two sets ahead, that's true.
16:37
Yeah right, yeah, that's pretty Yeah, that's right. Your figure hasn't
16:41
even hit stores, so Ringstyle Collectibles dot Com used Code Major to save ten
16:45
percent. I have some more weekly purchases, keep going. I'm tapped out.
16:48
Though I tried to have a to just like purposely not buy stuff.
16:56
It's very difficult. Next week I might have nothing. I was very busy
16:59
to wrestleman a week. If you uh too busy to buy toys, believe
17:03
it or not, it's a good problem to have them. Um. I
17:06
went back to the devil. I went back to the bushman himself, Lord
17:11
Um, and he he took me to an agency and it was the Acolyte
17:15
Protection Agency, and I got a Acolytes. This is pre APA, but
17:21
Acolytes Bradshaw bone crunching action head unreleased. Why why did I get it?
17:29
Yeah, because he offered it to me for a good price and I had
17:30
to get it. And it's it's bone crunching, not it's not new bone
17:36
crunching. It was supposed to be in the bone and short short hair Acolyte
17:40
Bradshaw. So apparently like Docommission's best friend Bradshaw. Too right, It could
17:45
be right. It was that who say that style short? But I guess
17:49
at one point there was supposed to be some sort of ministry of Darkness four
17:52
pack um. It was rumored. All those things were rumored. Who knows.
17:56
They never made Midian, they never made for Ruth, they never made
18:00
Brado was justin Hawk Bradja for Rouke and Henry. Oh Godwin, I'm sorry,
18:03
Phineas, I got it, like Jeremy came on board and like O
18:08
two, we need someone pre je. We need a pre Jeremy guy to
18:11
like run some of this stuff by and we don't have any sources. But
18:15
I want to thank you the bush Man for give me the h Acolyte brad
18:18
show. And you know what, it doesn't look a thing like Bradshaw.
18:22
Yeah, not at all. But that's those like Nelich outlaws figured they're horrible
18:29
at least like in the Bone cush and e like Billy Goott has the bandana
18:34
come on? Um, so this could have been like a boot like another
18:38
figure company out of Yeah, right, Bushman ripped. I trust the bush
18:42
Man, Okay. Also, my good friend Marty the Villain, we were
18:48
out to dinner the other night. We're at Ruth Chris, a very expensive
18:51
steakhouse. And was it just you the women involved the women were there.
18:53
They were there. You never know these days. He enjoys some mediumware stays
18:57
and wine and he pulls out this bag and what's inside is a dog faced
19:03
gremlin Rick Steiner WCW Wrestling Buddy, very very hard to get in pretty damn
19:11
good condition. There was a couple couple of little rips in it. But
19:14
the fluff was there. You know what I'm saying that he wasn't deflated,
19:18
no good fluff. Yeah. I washed him about five times in the five
19:21
Yeah, I just keep going in a pillowcase. First time pillowcase, other
19:26
four times, no pillowcase. Why just do it? Just watch risky move,
19:30
folks. I don't. I don't condone that. If you don't like
19:33
me, bite me. I guess the dog the dog based gremlin h w
19:42
CW Wrestling Buddy. He also got me a thousand dollars Browski Hasbro figure.
19:49
Oh yeah, what was up with that? It was incredible. It was
19:52
so well done. It was using a matel head and with these figures,
19:56
you know, with Hasbro's the Hasbro figures have Next and Mattel figures, don't
20:00
whoever made this custom had a custom neck. It was so well done on
20:07
the back. It had the z R sign with like the dollars sign.
20:10
Also, yeah, so Marty, thank you very much. Marty's a good
20:12
friend and good friend of the pot. I feel like you owe him now
20:15
you need to get him something, something good. Well, I had the
20:18
pressures on. Sorry, um, and that is I think it from my
20:23
Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Before I go. We have a trade
20:26
ski of the week. Guys, I'm looking for a lot of stuff.
20:29
We I need more trade skis of the week. And to be honest,
20:32
sometimes these aren't trade I just buy it from you, right, to be
20:36
honest. Yeah. Uh. Still mint on card ECW original Mike Awsome figure
20:41
autographed. Anybody out there been looking for years? This new jack, no
20:47
new situation. Oh my god, still very real. Oh my god,

20:56
the hunt. Uh. And then there's several loose cells jns. I still
20:59
need, as we just said, the Undertaker mail away loose um, you
21:04
know, hit me up, let's or hit our social media accounts up and
21:08
maybe we can figure something out. Absolutely, um, so I got from
21:12
sav the ww khali one. Um, I got a ECW one night Stand
21:18
Jerry that I'm counting as of now in my classic Superso's collection as a ECW.
21:26
Yes, it was very hard to get that figure, believe it or
21:29
not. All right, Up next is the Incarnation of Domination. The Incarnation
21:38
of Domination is a weekly segment where we choose a superstar and every week we
21:42
try to stop each other and we discussed our favorite versions of that superstar.
21:47
This week it is my turn to stomp you. But already spoiled it.
21:51
You did spoil a little bit. But you know what, Sally, it's
21:55
Paul. Why so are we eliminating giant figures? Every every Paul White figure
22:03
is on the table here. That's a lot, a lot, a lot.
22:07
I'm not gonna talk about all now. Saying his San Francisco Toy Bakers.
22:11
He's at the vibrator. He's got the rubber ljan and the plastic one.
22:17
Wait what like the plastic like Hasbro rusque style one. Yes, yeah,
22:22
um, he's in the first toy basin amazing choke slam hand. It's
22:30
great and it's like it's gigantic. What about the two packeries at the neck
22:34
brace? Was just stupid? But might be one of my favorites, if
22:38
not my favorite, the one right off the bat, the one that comes
22:42
with the ray that does the choke slam. It's like pretty perfect. The
22:48
first figure, even though his figures aren't that great style. Yeah there's no
22:52
beard, Yeah, but he didn't when he first first came, it was
22:56
it was a very but there was nothing on this figure. Five o'clock shadow
23:00
could have could have helped. Yeah. Um, I used to use my
23:04
Hasbro Giant Gonzales, not as the Giant, but like I would use him
23:08
like the Giant. You know what I'm saying. I guess you give him
23:11
that kind of push, you know. Um. Yeah, so that the
23:18
the action feature Toymaker. No, see yeah, the vibrator all those times,
23:23
even though is he like slightly bigger than the other ones? Are they
23:26
all the size of the vibrator. No, not the vibrate but the other
23:30
one. He's slightly bigger, but the vibrators are all the same. Was
23:33
really like tast match the same size as the Giant. Ridiculous, okay,
23:37
see you But the toy Biz one, especially the ones, but the brace
23:41
I love the brace one. There's the I would actually love to get him
23:45
on here now if he's back to tell the story about going to toy Fair.
23:49
Oh, that's right, taking those picks. I think he would do
23:52
it. He would do it. It's been over twenty years. No,
23:55
but I mean, like, come on the pot, That's what I'm saying.
23:57
Yeah, but um, series nine, the rumor always was is that
24:02
he was still in her contract but took reference photos at toy Fair for Jack's.
24:07
That's why that first Jack's figure comes out so fast, and it comes
24:11
out with him in cloth T shirt jeans because that's what he was wearing.
24:15
And they repaint a bunch of times, even as a ref Yeah, what's
24:18
that figure? Although not a bone count, is still pretty awesome, so
24:22
that counts, but not under the drive. It's not a bone counter actually
24:26
feature, but it's meant to be in the line that was not meant to
24:30
that's a novelty pack of figures. Um. So many Titan Trons, which
24:37
are pretty cool. Yeah, he has very because of his size. His
24:41
figures are always pretty unique, but I think in the Titan Trons they're never
24:45
quite right. I don't think Jack's really nails it until we get to ar
24:48
three. He's also changed his look like all Big show there's like ponytail short
24:55
hair show. What about the one that has the al snow shirt. That's
24:59
ridiculous, um J C. Penny exclusive actually pretty rare. That are three
25:03
big show I think changed the game for figures, and that's my favorite big
25:07
show. I think to this day it is still like perfect. It's so
25:12
perfect. They use that mold with Ruthless Aggression figures, right, probably they
25:18
used it for Entre the Giant. I mean, his mantels are pretty sweet.
25:22
I know you don't really dabble in the modern day guys, no,
25:25
but I love his giant figure. I know I love his current big show
25:27
one from like the Survivor series esc era, like right when he won the
25:32
title the first time. Yeah, a brand new one. Yeah, that
25:33
one's good. Yeah. The modern day ones are like pretty good, like
25:37
with the last one that uh that fan central one that went was on like
25:41
on the deathbeded Toys r Us. It's a really nice figure. I think
25:45
I'm gonna have to go with the toy biz just because I love that figure
25:48
when as a kid and playing with it its size alone, I'm gonna go
25:53
with the new It's cool about that, and like I think this is putting
25:56
it into perspective because we just did the Ljan episode, Like Andre was a
26:00
giant, but they crouched him down and there's nothing you can do about that.
26:03
But this had joints and stuff, so like, if you put him
26:06
fully extended, he's a giant. I think my favorite one is definitely the
26:11
R three and not they made a cooler. They added like tattoos and stuff.
26:15
Later on Bob original R three, she had the perfect choke slam hand.
26:18
He's way bigger than everyone else like that. Jeff Hardy put it next
26:22
to that that figure was ahead of its time. He's had a lot,
26:27
so many we didn't even scratch just toys, Bro, We're forgetting so many.
26:33
I mean it's it's a lot. That's why I said, are we
26:36
doing giant? Paul? Like? What are we doing now? Is there?
26:41
He has Jack's class of Superstars figures many What if Mattel can make one,
26:47
uh flashback Big Show, Paul White, what would you want a recanmobile
26:52
with a hearst and a casket? Oh, come on, my dad,
26:57
I want them to make um hm, that's a good question. I want
27:03
him to make like like almost like a Series nine, like a big show,
27:06
like in the street clothes. I guess right, but at this point
27:08
his debut from like Saint Valentine's Day masker, like what is that what he
27:11
wore? That? It's something similar similar? Right? Yeah, I guess
27:15
that wouldn't be it. Yeah, he's had a very blessed figure career,
27:18
like and it's a cool dude, no no left. Remember remember when we
27:22
worked up the first time? You remember he said to us. I know
27:26
exactly what he said. He pulled us into a room and it was just
27:32
come back but edgead Era and it was like we were on a tour and
27:37
they randomly changed the card like we weren't doing what we were normally doing,
27:41
and it just said like two on one handicapped match like Hawkins Ride against Big
27:44
Show. And he pulled us into a room and he's like talking to us,
27:48
He's just did you guys ever work with a giant before? And he's
27:53
like, well, let me rephrase that, did you ever work with a
27:57
giant that can work before? I was just thinking about that whole statement.
28:07
Clearly he can work. It's great. Clearly that was a shot at Kellie,
28:11
but he wasn't even there. So like Collie wasn't even on the roster
28:15
at that point. Definitely he was in the way. So wait, he's
28:18
there were edgeheads Kylie's Way before us, Kylie Tab six he did, Yeah,
28:22
it was after us. He was like almost a year before us.
28:26
Oh, okay, damn. He wins the belt like our first month on
28:27
the road. Okay, yeah, a year later due Collie Wrestling at our
28:32
WrestleMania where we ran into the main event. Was even on it. Oh
28:36
wrestling, Buddy was in the battle year before. He's against Glenn and that's
28:40
thinker, Oh my god, you're right he was on the roster. Yeah,
28:42
and then that year I don't know what he does. There's some some
28:45
weird questions. Tag team match I had in Japan where I'm team with the
28:48
Big Show and he's wearing a Broskie wig. It has like these giant orange
28:52
sunglasses that to this day I still have. That's unbelievable, like giant.
29:00
He's one of a cod I love. I love Paul. All right,
29:04
that's cool, So that's great pick for incarnation of Domination. What's up,
29:08
everybody? Welcome to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast. I am your host,
29:12
Brian Myers aka ww Superstar Kurt Hawkins and I am your host Matt Cardona,
29:19
A Kawwe Superstar Zach Ryder and welcome to and all Q and a addition,
29:26
the Best Wishes Edition Major Ask Major Pod Pod. We did this during the
29:33
holidays and um I had a blasting advices say a special all Q and A.
29:38
We we went to Twitter, our Twitter account at Major d I Pod,
29:44
as always asked Major Pod. We chose five questions each and we will
29:48
send you all a Best Wish is eight by ten and the next week,
29:55
um I guess we should get into it. Ten questions. Take a shot.
30:02
If you got those best Witches barn Girl shot classes, perfect time,
30:04
put them to use, should be they should be water or whatever you want.
30:08
It should be in your hands by now. So yeah, all right,
30:11
I'll go first. My question comes from Keenan. Is it referee?
30:14
Keenan? Wow? Mcallis's briz. Nobody's gonna get that. That's fine.
30:21
TJ's laughing, all right, Keenan, Keena Thompson, Keenan Gobby at Keenan
30:26
Gobby, can you please explain the difference between Titan Tron R three and Ruthless
30:33
aggression figures? Hashtag ask Major pot, Well, Dan, how do you
30:38
want to tackle that? All right? So I realized we use a lot
30:41
of terminology that sometimes we get the folk might not and we get really uh
30:47
too caught up in how deep our discussion is sometimes, and that's our fault.
30:52
The Titan Tron figures these came out in nineteen ninety nine or two thousand
30:56
ninety nine, very end of ninety nine, very end of ninety Yes,
31:02
it was a Titan tron Um play set. It came with Vince McMahon and
31:07
all these figures. They were now more articulated. They were all plastic,
31:11
no more rubber. Um. This is this is the transition from a bone
31:15
from bone crunching action. Also um. When referring to all these or looking
31:21
them up, sometimes you'll see the abbreviation, so youhould probably know that TTL
31:23
Well here bone crunching action BCA Tighten Tron live, which is what the placet
31:29
was called. That's how they got that name, is TTL R three.
31:33
That's an easy one, R three and then ruthless aggression. You'll see sometimes
31:37
as an R A figure. And these tighten Tron figures had little metal chips
31:41
on the bottom of the feet and you would put that on the Titan Tron
31:45
and they would read the chip and the Titan Tron had um not that many
31:49
pictures on it. But like, for instance, Gangrell, if he went
31:52
through the tron now during the Titan Tron kind of like the opening of our
31:56
podcast, yes exactly, that's exactly what it is, and it would read
31:57
Gangrill, and it would Gangrels picture would light up and it would play like
32:01
a horrible crabby version of his song. Yes. So Series one, Titan
32:07
Tron Live and the Double Slam two packs which are also Titan Tron style figures,
32:12
and the Titans Tron itself all kind of came out the exact same time
32:15
with the Titan Tron came with an exclusive insct Man, right, and that
32:19
was the big like it was a super cool, big debut, super cool
32:22
concept, but the execution is like, okay, now we after series one
32:24
and two, we only have like ten guys on the Titan Tron, so
32:29
guys nowhere to go. Yeah. So for instance, like I think Edging
32:31
Christian would use Gangrel and they would Gangrel's music would light up or his picture
32:36
would light up. But then like you would just use like Ken Shamrock would
32:39
just play the generic WWE so and then they made other playsets to go along
32:45
with it, to update it, but it was never never still the test
32:47
of time. So what basically came of it is the name Titan Tron stuck.
32:53
But the concept kind of went away, and I think, yeah,
32:55
and like they even took out the chip, yes, eventually, Yeah,
33:00
so those early ones they actually those early ones don't have real scan, which
33:04
is very obvious because the faces are. Then they had horrendous likeness. Then
33:07
they added the real scan and kind of got away from the chip, but
33:10
the style of figure and the name Titan Tron live lived on. Then we
33:15
got to Our three. Right now, this is kind of weird because Titan
33:19
Tron was still going on during R three, but Our three had its own
33:22
set, right R three real scan, real scale, real something else.
33:30
R three get it, Yes, And in theory, the whole body was
33:36
gonna be real scan, not just the face, so everyone was gonna have
33:37
their unique body, which I think Series one and two do have, right,
33:43
So like Jeff, but then they just got big Show is one of
33:46
the best figures ever. Jericho was really good, Jeff Hardy. But then
33:51
yeah, then they started just reusing the bodies, and that's when I stopped
33:54
liking it personally. Um, so, I mean same, what's the three
33:59
rs. I'm trying to find it real scale, real skin, real reaction.
34:06
And these I liked because it had like the articulation was cool and like
34:09
you said, the ones that were they were made the way they were supposed
34:12
to be made, are like really nice. Um, But then just the
34:15
laziness kicked in, you know where they weren't um putting the effort into new
34:22
guys like they did the original guys and just using the same bodies and stuff.
34:25
So then the R three run is very very short, right, it's
34:29
only a couple of years long. I think it's a couple of years.
34:32
But that big show they would use forever, so that will get to that.
34:36
Okay. Then, as we've covered many times, the ruthless aggression style
34:40
figures kick in in the spring of two thousand and three, when those are
34:46
the ones that kind of stood the test of time. That when what the
34:50
classic Superstars are made out of and whatnot. The whole like, um,
34:54
ruthless aggression was the thing, and John Cena, that's how I picture Rule's
34:59
aggression is that series on John Cena because him Brock, because Brock was real
35:02
popular. But like John Cena in his promo is opening promo to Kurt Angles
35:07
is ruthless aggressions. This is big thing any time, and he's in series
35:12
one. I have a I have an vintage on boxing on our YouTube channel
35:15
YouTube dot com slash excuse me, take a shot major podum. But then
35:20
those figures, those body types lasted till the deathbed of Jack's and even the
35:23
Classic Superstars are using the ruthless aggression bodies And right, did you mean to
35:29
say FTC guys those as well? They say, though not, but they
35:34
all know um. And then to wrap this all up, what gets real
35:37
confusing is that even though ruthless aggression guys were the predominant line that Jackson is
35:45
producing, they mixed in basically as like a laziness slash cost cut egg slash
35:51
whatever, Um, Titan, Tron, R three and ruthless guys sometimes all
35:55
in the same series. So it would be a series will come out and
35:58
I mean Classic Superstars one as all three correct, bro unbelievable, Yeah,
36:01
because Tron on the Digger and R three Andre the Giant on a big show
36:07
body and in a term that we've kind of made up on the show.
36:08
We call it the mixed error. This went on totally mixed for a way
36:13
too long. Um, I want to say, into like oh five or
36:17
six, maybe they finally stopped, like it's it's disgusting. Yeah, no
36:22
excuse for it. It really is no excuse for it. Um. But
36:27
that's pretty much. That's that's really it. That's the uh I think we
36:31
exist of it. It's too I mean, if you didn't live it to
36:34
know what happened, it's definitely very confusing and bizarre. But that's, uh,
36:39
that's just the history of it, I think. Yeah, I mean,
36:42
just just storing your Google machine and you'll and you'll find it. And
36:45
uh, like I said, it's kind of it's kind of hard because,
36:49
for instance, you're searching for tighten tron lies, but then Stacy Keibler and
36:52
Tory come out during the rule discussion era, but they're in tightened Tron live
36:55
figures. So you gotta be very careful when you're finding your checklist completely completely
37:00
all over the place, all over the place. Okay, Um, this
37:06
one is from huss Underscore Berserker. I love the old Jack's box sets,
37:13
but Mattel's had been kind of disappointing. What do you think could have been
37:17
or should change to get some winners, more accessories, price points, better
37:21
character choices hashtag ask major pod Um. If you grew up in the Jack's
37:29
bone crunching era, those box sets were like, so do apport your collection.
37:35
But I think we're I think we just had these nostalgic feelings. If
37:38
you look back, some of them are absolute garbage. And make the selection
37:43
of who's in him. Okay, I'll make make less than I'm gonna say
37:46
a set right now and you're gonna say, what the okay, Stone Cold
37:51
Steve Auston for the first time, we're one of those first versions of him
37:54
in Austin three sixteen, which is a huge deal. Brett the Hitman Heart
38:00
okay, a referee and Ahmed Johnson with a ladder like what But at the
38:07
time it was so cool because what's triple threat? Triple threat? Mark merrow
38:12
yokna and with a yellow chair? Okay, two yellow chairs? How did
38:15
that happen? That was But what they did was what Jacks would do sometimes
38:20
is that would be the only way to get get a figure. So that
38:22
was the only time to get yokozuna. UM, I do agree. I
38:24
think a lot of it is sentimental for sure because we grew up with it.
38:29
But on the flip side, in their defense and whatnot, um,
38:32
I think where I mean, I think it's obviously an elite figure and Mattel's
38:37
attempt at four packs a big cost. Okay, these things were Jack's four
38:43
packs were nineteen ninety nine. There's no way mattel can company that one figures
38:46
nineteen eighty nine. Um. Also, to give them some credit, the
38:52
packaging was always pretty special. Yeah. On the Jack's box sets, there
38:55
was like a very eye catching and colorful and theme to something. Um.
39:01
The mattel Onans have been kind of bland and and they're like my last point
39:06
on this and it's the same boat. The Jackson's were also like almost handheld,
39:09
whereas like the Mattelans have been giant nor so much wasted space waste at
39:15
space on the shelves and even in your collection, that's a that's a lot
39:19
of real estate. You're gonna keep that inbox. I mean, like the
39:22
last mattel One I can remember is that target. I don't even know what
39:27
you want to call it. Mish mosh like Larry's Abisco. It was w
39:31
W Nitro guys, that's what they call which I'll give them a pass because
39:35
it was their way of getting Zibisco out. I think there's so much which
39:39
no offense the Larry legend, but if he was sitting on the shelves by
39:43
himself, no, I agree to now forget about well so they. I
39:45
think we sometimes forget that. Mattel has made some cool ones, like the
39:49
Undisputed Era three pack. I think we're not considering that a box set.
39:52
I guess that's okay. That's a big exception of that one rules and it
39:57
is selling very well. Yeah, but these are all I guess these are
40:00
new. Do you count milk Romania as a box set? It is a
40:04
box set? But I think I don't know why. But to me,
40:08
Jack's one's before and these are three, so there's something about that that's different.
40:12
I agree, And I think the best Jack's four pack of all time
40:15
is the one that came to the titles for the first time. Yeah,
40:19
I mean, I can't there's so many cool ones at its time. Now,
40:22
like we get titles, we take it for granted. Yeah, you
40:24
know, literally the only way to get Yeah, it was the only way
40:27
to get them was in these four packs until later on, like they would
40:30
they would do it, but not for bone crunchers. Yeah, you got
40:32
to get these special four packs hardcore four pack a hardcore title, but that
40:37
you needed that because it's the only way to get hard again. Yeah,
40:38
yeah, so Appreciate had no hardcore title than he had four Um so what
40:44
can matell do differently? I don't know. I think I would love to
40:45
see the four pack come back. Uh, you gotta cut the packaging size
40:52
down maybe, And I mean and then you know, this is this is
40:55
way out of our wheelhouse. But like it's it's got to be cost effective.
41:00
But like I said, you can't. You're not going to compare to
41:02
the nineteen ninety nine. There are some good Mattael ones, like we just
41:05
said, but also you know which one I really loved, the one with
41:07
Bobby Heenan Andre Big John Stuff family. I mean, the four horse the
41:10
only way to get Big John stuff. I don't know, you weren't actively
41:14
collecting motels on that four horsemen pack came out at the tail end. That
41:17
was like the way the city though, no, no, no, at
41:22
first It was very similar to the way people just went nuts to get this
41:24
Aust Black set. You know, people just did like the set's going to
41:29
be on the shelves, and people went nuts to get it right away.
41:30
It was the same thing with this four Horsemen said, I mean people were
41:34
going nuts to get I remember it was at a convention for like one hundred
41:37
and fifty bucks, so people really buying it. But uh, and then
41:39
eventually it was just there. You know. I feel like that for that's
41:44
the only way to get Barry within them, right, which I think is
41:45
cool. That's what I'm saying. If you're gonna make a four pack,
41:49
and of course they're gonna be repainting there, of course, but give us
41:52
an exclusive in there and make people want to go get this four pack or
41:54
three pack or sometimes they make like six packs, right like those Net spotlights
42:00
school now old school toys arrust ones there, but those are basics. Hyeah,
42:05
all right, that was a good question. Cool, alright, mine.
42:07
It's from Keith black Nick at Mediagon. How do you guys feel about
42:13
the figures that come in the slam crate worth collecting? Don't care about them?
42:17
Don't like them? Hashtag asked major pot Um. I don't collect them,
42:22
not saying I don't like them, I just, um don't. I
42:27
guess know enough about them. I've seen them. They're in rings, right,
42:30
they're displayed in rings. Um, So what what about these that intrigues
42:39
me? And why I picked this question is because they're designed by Brian Batty.
42:44
Are you familiar the old custom guy? Yes? Wow, I didn't
42:47
know that. I was wondering if you knew that or not cool? And
42:51
he There's the reason I even know this is because I did a baseball crate
43:00
that UM had the same thing with baseball guys in the same style and stuff.
43:04
And then I was connecting all the dots and I actually think kabana m
43:07
i'd even told me or something. Oh you know what? Yeah, I
43:08
think so too, Yeah yeah, or maybe he told us both or does
43:12
he knows Brian Batty? He went to school and we're talking. He's like
43:14
a Chicago guy or something. There's something about that. But that's why I
43:17
think they're cool. I don't collect the Can you show me a picture of
43:21
SOMETHINGE Oh, there's tons. I hope that's not that cool because now I'm
43:23
gonna go back and get it. Oh my god. There's a on the
43:27
Wrestling Figs forum, someone remember Brian Batty, and there's a whole thread about
43:30
people talking about so very talented customizer. He was like a breathtaking customizer and
43:37
like the attitude infancy of figure forums and stuff, and would post stuff and
43:42
people would be like, how are you doing this? You know, there's
43:45
a picture, there's a Sasha, there's a Seth, a Hunter Taker with
43:51
the mask. So this is like his site with all his art and stuff.
43:54
That's cool. I mean he's very very talented, there's no doubt about
43:58
that. Oh wow. But these aren't all figures though, these are just
44:01
like this is just art. There's the ww guys. Oh wow, that
44:05
warrior damn wow. I mean he he's he's the real deal. It's very
44:12
unique. Everything is an enlarged head, but it's Michael Jordan. Now these
44:16
real figures that are just see I think some of them are just concepts.
44:21
Yeah, oh yeah wow. I might have to go back and get some
44:24
of these. Very cool. I wonder if slam Create wants to be a
44:27
sponsor, send um some, send us some. So there's one figure,
44:31
there's whatever, one a month, and uh, I mean they're cool.
44:35
I I've contemplated my cne one eBay maybe, I mean, you'd probably want
44:37
more of the classic guys. I'm a classic guy because the classic guy,
44:43
the Stone Call, is really cool. Oh yeah, it's definitely something worth
44:47
considering. All right, very cool. My next question is from Nicholas to
44:54
Desco at Disney and Beyond. If Mattel made a major w pod line of
45:00
figures and there were five figures in a series one set, who would those
45:05
five figures be, all pertending to our show, all pertaining to much You
45:09
already know my opinion. So, like you're talking like Tommy Boy from Oh
45:15
No, if I like, first of all, would never be Mattel figures
45:20
of this podcast because this this podcast is technically not affiliate with Mattel or WWE.
45:23
Yeah, we're actually full of schools are working on a toy line.
45:27
Um by now there might be some news out there on that. But if
45:30
I could, if I could really pick series one, and I don't even
45:35
know if we could do this, it would be us in like our podcast
45:37
Street Clothes, us in Stop in Paradise Gear, and then I would have
45:43
Horns Boggle Naked with the title Yeah, that would be my five. Okay,
45:47
I can't talk right. I didn't understand the question A fair was like,
45:52
but the hornspogle, how do we do it naked? I think if
45:54
you take the title off, it's all like blurry. I think he just
45:58
has h tan trunks on trus. Yeah. Um, but we we obviously
46:05
we wouldn't be able to do all. We'd have to get tattoos and but
46:07
we'd have to uh buy the rights to the Rakishi Titan trone to get the
46:14
accurate Kishi but cheeks, and then we could do the flack leg hair.
46:21
Ugly, this is getting real expect Oh my god, we had you know,
46:23
we'd have to pay for the rights for those ugly muppet tattoos. Or
46:27
even it could be a Target exclusive because horsewalls a Target logo tattoo. Maybe
46:30
there is a build uh build the Tommy Boy from Massachusetts, all his parts
46:36
come with all the other Uh we can have a maximum sweat bill build build
46:42
a smart mark, definitely a smart mark. Uh. I would love to
46:46
make our on toy line, of course, but dream on that very very
46:52
soon. I thought it was a great question, all right. The WTF
46:58
figure of the week is figure when you look at it, you go,
47:00
what golf bleep that mark? This week it's some more good friends at Ringside
47:07
Collectibles. And I already told him we were doing this, so they're not
47:12
gonna get all pissy. Yeah, but it is a Ringside Collectible's exclusive.
47:15
Now also full disclosure. I said on Twitter that we were looking for this,
47:22
looking for wtfs and if you suggested it, we's a new best it
47:24
wishes aight by ten. So the guy who suggested this to Chris Marino at
47:29
Crusader six one, eight eight, you will be getting the Best Wishes eight
47:34
by ten and his suggestion was the Ringside Collectible exclusive TAZ Classic Superstar. But
47:43
it's how do you scribe this? Uh? Okay, I don't. I'm
47:46
trying to You said, you asked John about this and he didn't really give
47:50
you too much detail. Gave me just like what happened. Okay, So
47:53
it's tax It's a Taz ecw TAZ in the singlet, he's got a towel.
47:59
Who was now for the towel that he'd wear on his head, but
48:01
this package, oh no, has it clipped around his waist. Valvenus.
48:06
So there was some some kind of really bad mix up with Jack's where they
48:13
be. Instead of putting the towel next to him in the packages and accessory,
48:16
wrapped it around his waist and clipped it onto. It looks like he's
48:20
wearing a black black dress. It looks like Saturn and the dress. So
48:25
this figure when it came out was oh my god, bad. But when
48:29
it come out, it didn't come out. Ringside didn't. Ringside sold it
48:32
loose. Yeah, but they knew it was a mess up, and they
48:37
unpackaged them and sent them out. But then I guess they kept some and
48:38
then eventually did I can't think. I think they kept some because like,
48:43
obviously they're embarrassed by this too, and then like, hey, here's some.
48:45
Did sneak through the cracks and get released with that? I think they
48:50
purposely kept like fifty of them or so or whatever, But so Ringside would
48:53
sell them loose with the towel off it. Sometimes the towel would stain the
48:58
guys. The major problem no pun intended with all Jack's cloth accessories. I
49:05
think Mattel as well. I think so too, but I'm also so nuts
49:08
about it that I won't even take him. I okay, well I don't
49:13
do that, but I like, if I'm not going to display, if
49:15
I don't want to figure displayed with this cloth accessory, I take it off
49:17
and I put it in a zip buck and then and I don't let it
49:20
even touch a plastic because I don't want it to stain it. But it's
49:23
a big problem. Like anyway, I was thinking about, like I watched
49:25
those Viceland docks and stuff, and I was thinking about the free Birds and
49:30
the von Erst. That freebird set is the number one thing I think of
49:35
when I think of his Jack's stained product, Like all three of them are
49:40
just destroyed. When you open those now there there's no turning back. And
49:44
it's been years and years and years. If you open a min on card
49:45
freebirds, do you think, oh, it's men on card, It's gonna
49:47
be great. It's destroyed. You just gotta like accept it. But with
49:53
this TAZ, they originally, like I said, released it with the towel
49:59
around his way, but then they fixed it regular packaging towel on the side.
50:04
Yeah, yeah, they fixed it. So if you were to buy
50:07
this, if you had a pre order, I guess back in the day,
50:09
you would get it loose. I'd be pissed. I think the real
50:14
thing here is and if John doesn't, well, yes, and if John
50:19
doesn't know, then we'll never know, like what the numbers are, like
50:22
what was how many? How many had the towel around the waist, how
50:24
many got opened, how many didn't, how many got replenished and fixed?
50:28
Right, And it's just it's it's literally clipped on like the Valdesta. It's
50:32
kind of it's very google ble. Imagine like Trevor or John's face when that
50:37
shipment showed up. Man, that's gotta be all time, like twenty thousand
50:42
tads like that? Noah, I think like three or five thousand or that
50:45
still has to be like what the well, that's why it's the WTF figure
50:52
of the which is right, I believe after tads got upset about the one
50:57
night saying mumu that yes, So it's like he's got like he's cursed.
51:00
Yeah, he cursed. Oh man, all right, So thank you Ringside,
51:04
thanks for me a good sport. Um. Next up is the Q
51:07
and A. All right, let's round this out with the Q and A.
51:10
You ask us a question using hashtag ask me jor pod, We answer,
51:15
and we send you the infamous best wishes eight by ten. No way
51:23
again, I want to switch into a new design design, yeah, to
51:28
keep keep the incentive orange card and I don't want to do that. I
51:31
want to do like like classic Superstar packaging. Yeah, we'll talk about it
51:36
off air. Anyway, here we go. My question is from Dave Lee
51:39
at Dave Lee. Oh my god, are you kidding me? You're ready
51:43
for this? At Dave Lee eight eight zero one eight seven o four.
51:49
How many Dave Lees are there that you need to You couldn't come up with
51:52
something else anyway. I've started buying w W retro after years away from collecting.
51:59
Some of the figures I bought I don't really want, such as two
52:01
Stings to Kevinoa's Triple Ah, et cetera. Do you think I should sell
52:06
or keep to complete the collection? There's a couple of things about this,
52:12
well, like okay, you gotta but okay, really you really your collections?
52:15
Your collection? You set the rules. Sure, so you know you
52:19
need to first decide am I completest or am I not? If you're completest?
52:22
Yes, he just like random and Triple Asia you didn't want it or
52:28
something because the variant trilated the one logo. Maybe but I wouldn't count I
52:31
don't think he's counting that that. Listen, the variant triplation is a mess
52:35
up. I don't count that. I think that's ridiculous. Uh too,
52:38
but like there's no like you're the boss of your own collection. So if
52:44
you're a completest, you're completest. If you're not, then you make up
52:46
your own rules and you get what you want to get and that's your deal.
52:50
So if you don't want something, you got to decide that. I
52:54
think, you know what, don't listen to Hawkins. Um it's two actually
52:59
figures to stay in the KO just also gonna regret it at this early in
53:02
the game. Like retro line is gonna be around forever and ever and years
53:07
and years. I mean, why wouldn't it the best and best linements gated
53:10
the most popular thing in Mattel history. So uh, only it's right now
53:15
the retros right now, literally right now, you're thinking about two stings and
53:19
two cavzones, the only repeat spend the fifteen we're coming on ten sets.
53:23
You know that's not that's not like a big deal. And I get it.
53:27
The KO listen, I'd love KO. I wish there wasn't two a
53:31
ko though, but it had to be done, and that or no figures
53:35
that are yeah, I mean people get fired and whatever I'll happen. I
53:37
don't remember idiots and yeah whatever, I don't remember who he replaced, but
53:42
he had to replace somebody very last minute. So it's not not a Bill
53:45
Endell. And luckily he's different. He's not the same figure and sing wolfpack
53:49
sting and even really that doesn't bother me at all because that's like significantly different
53:53
in my opinion. That's like saying you don't have to get both macho Man's
53:57
right, you have to Uh, that's your call, buddy. I mean
54:02
a collections what you make of it. There's no set rules. You're the
54:06
boss. You make the rules. You know, collector which one I would
54:08
get them now? Just because they're gonna go up in value and that's supposed
54:13
to be going on too. Yeah, and now we're like we're making these
54:15
retro rings stickers and ropes and like, yes, it's a plug for our
54:19
stuff. But at the same time, it's not like one day these rings
54:22
are going to disappear, you know what I'm saying, Like they're not going
54:24
to be available on Amazon Overside or whatever. They just have to right,
54:30
So I would say buy them up all now, either to like you have
54:34
them as like gold in your closet, or to make retro rings like we're
54:37
just yeah, just to be safe, you know. Yeah, that's what
54:43
I would say. And uh, I mean I don't think it's retros are
54:45
going anywhere. That the best thing Matell's got going right now. Um,
54:49
I say get them all collectible, That's what I say. Uh. That's
54:52
a great question though. When my question comes from Ryan logs don At it's
54:59
our fl hashtag ask major Pod when coming up with WrestleMania gear, do you
55:06
take into consideration what it will look like in figure form? Congrats on your
55:09
success her, I've well, me, I don't know what you're gonna say
55:17
about this, but I don't think I've ever gotten gear where I wasn't thinking
55:22
about the toys. But that's every time. But that's me and you because
55:24
we're psychopaths and toy addicts and think very differently than our colleagues. When I
55:31
wore my like sting Usa inspider jacket, I thought for sure, like,
55:37
oh, if Mattel makes this, they'll just like repaint the great American bash
55:42
Sting jacket, but no Bill won the actual mile. Maybe a brand new
55:45
nikof jacket and this WrestleMania, I mean this WrestleMania obviously you know we're not
55:52
gonna talk about it, but something cool habit for us. And but we
55:55
didn't know that when we got the gear made. Dude, you know,
55:58
my gear in my mine just because the rest of my name was in our
56:01
hometown and all my friends and family are coming. Well one my favorite,
56:06
my favorite, it's my favorite football team, Okay. And I had this
56:08
idea like one night only, Like I've only worn orange and blue since two
56:13
thousand and four, oh Man twenty thirteen. I haven't worn any other colors,
56:16
and I was gonna be one night only thing I'll never do it again,
56:20
which was still the idea. And I was like, and hey,
56:22
you know what, my friends and family are gonna be there. They can
56:24
pick me out of the Andrea a lot easier in this bright green outfit.
56:28
Right. That was literally what I thought. So that's all I'm saying about
56:30
that. Um So, mine a couple of things. First of all,
56:37
I want to thank TTD Wrestling, the guy who designs a lot of our
56:42
major w pod T shirts. I went to him and got some gear made.
56:45
You saw what I came up, and he's like, oh, I
56:49
need him to make my gear. You showed me what he and I just
56:52
blew my mind. I went, oh, man TTD wrestling kills. I
56:55
had my idea, but it had no way to like execute it right.
57:00
And then he did it for me, which I can't. I can't ever
57:01
thank him enough for that. Well. I knew that we were coming back
57:05
to New York, New Jersey, whatever you want to call it, and
57:08
the last time WrestleMania was in New York, New Jersey. We didn't do
57:15
but I had specially gear made up for that day. It was like statual
57:17
liberty with a headband. It's a odd but ended up wearing it on the
57:22
raw the next day. I was a big a man. I don't think
57:25
I had gear. I don't think I had I had a gear, and
57:28
I had all those stickers. We're not gonna talk about what we know about
57:30
that, sorry, but I don't think. I don't think I was disillusioned
57:35
enough then to like have I was totally disilusioned. This is like going on,
57:40
I had it? Was it still a thing? Yeah? In twenty
57:43
thirteen. It was like, ye're was mark or April twenty thirteen? Is
57:51
that media? Oh so maybe it was the tail end. It it just
57:55
ended. It just ended in that January. Yeah. Oh I'm dead,
58:00
like buried alive. You know, I'm over. But this year I knew
58:05
it would be special to be in New York, New Jersey. Uh So,
58:07
I wanted to pay tribute to Christian, one of my favorite wrestlers.
58:13
When I I guess, well, he probably doesn't have a friend, but
58:15
I think he's a friend. Uh he's he's very Bill mckenas. Yeah,
58:20
I don't know if he actually likes here. Yeah yeah. Um So I
58:22
wanted like the Wrestle Many twenty year. I love that figure. I love
58:24
that gears, that white with that gold. Um so, I got like
58:28
that kind of design, but I wanted I wanted logos um that kind of
58:32
told a story. You know, my gear told a story, so like
58:36
I mean told a story to me. If you're looking at it, probably
58:37
like what they but um so it had like that Wrestle Many twenty christian esque
58:42
style. Uh and the waist band and then um on one kneepad. It
58:46
has like the the Broski logo, but on a skeleton like the Browski's Dead,
58:52
Like no one else would know that except for like me, if you're
58:53
really like analyzing it, you know, this question just got so deep inside.
58:58
Whereas like if you I feel like if you asked like nine out of
59:02
ten, it's red, because I picked red, like there's nothing too well,
59:07
I mean, that's what I wanted. On one kneepad it was like
59:08
a skeleton like with the headband and the crack. It was a cracked glass
59:13
like the Browski's Dead. And the other kneepad was like the rated OAR Superstar
59:16
but ZR. And the back was instead of like the still Here, it
59:20
was the still major um. And I thought like this would be great,
59:25
like as gear, but I didn't. I didn't think anything would ever come
59:29
from it. And then I had awesome entrance gear that I got from Maya
59:32
from clayde Man. She makes the Backsheet Boys stuff, and it just so
59:35
happened by time I ordered it, it came in time, and then like
59:37
we ended up getting that match, so I was like, well, I'm
59:39
wearing all this like it's gonna be a great night. And then we ended
59:43
up winning, which which is cool. And if we get figured out of
59:45
this, like wow, um my gear, said c U R T Kirk
59:50
Kirk Kurtains, j E T S Jets, Jets, Jets, Oh my
59:53
god, we're gonna end then that Broski just came at me with some sports
59:58
knowledge. I don't know what to say. I'm speechless. I said,
1:00:01
the z R d Z sticker on my jacket. You said that already,
1:00:06
but like you know, it was on the inside of the jacket like it
1:00:08
wasn't supposed to be shown. And I took one step up the entrance ramp
1:00:10
and it busted open. So hopefully I haven't watched the match back, hopefully,
1:00:15
but tal makes a little eastarting of that. All right, guys,

you know, daddy Jack. The fact of the matter is May thirteenth,
1:01:15
is that the next Creative Pro show May thirteenth, and we also have
1:01:22
create a FWF Live. I believe it's six or seven, or eight or
1:01:29
nine. It doesn't matter because the one constant, the one thing that will
1:01:34
always be there is the Jay George Open Challenge and May thirteen, if you
1:01:38
already know what it is, I'm taking on Chick Donovan. But that's not
1:01:42
what this is about. It's not about promoting my upcoming events because guess what,
1:01:45
Homecoming is sold out, so I don't even got to talk about it.
1:01:50
I don't have to mention it ever because it doesn't make a difference because
1:01:52
it has been sold out. Brother, let me tell you this, dude.
1:02:00
Do you just listen to the major rewind and I've been experimenting. I
1:02:04
haven't been including some of the jingles. Part of the reason for that is
1:02:07
because when I download these the older episodes, and you could hear the bed
1:02:13
music in the background, I forgot to mute it. Hold on, all
1:02:15
right, we're back in fighting for them. When you when I download these
1:02:19
older episodes, I was originally downloading them from the you know, the public
1:02:23
feed, and a lot of those include the ads and the jingles and everything.
1:02:30
It became easier for me to download stuff directly from the Patreon feed,
1:02:35
which after certain amount of episodes, includes all of the ad free and early
1:02:42
shows, and a lot of those the ones I download because it's also a
1:02:45
smaller file size are the ones that don't have the jingles. And you know,
1:02:52
listen, I'm a diehard major Mark just like all of you. Just
1:02:55
like all of you. I listened to the episodes. I know what the
1:02:59
jingles are and I could I hear them. I could repeat them verbatim with
1:03:01
a gun to my head. If it were a million dollars, I would
1:03:06
be a millionaire if I were told to repeat one of these jingles word for
1:03:08
word. Unfortunately, you know, I don't know. I don't know if
1:03:13
it's necessary. You tell me. If you want to hear the jingles,
1:03:15
let me know. Shout me out on Twitter. You already know the deal.
1:03:20
It's your boy. Jay George, Wrestling's premiere cinematic genius, the producer
