- 11:03little preview. I watched, like some YouTube videos to kind of get like
- 11:07boned up about it. The opposite, Yeah, I didn't. I was
- 11:11like, man, I'm not boned up to watch this now. This is

- 11:41of the match, watch us breaking down the match. Gave you the rights
- 11:45of that video. Well you know what it's going on our patreons. So
- 11:46hopefully he doesn't cease and assist us. I wish Knick was there to get
- 11:50update on the IPA. If it's any left, it's still available. Yeah
- 11:54sure. Also if you're a hard foundation, remember it up. You get
- 11:56the free card. Yep, did we ship those out yet? Mark?
- 12:00They're shipping. I they actually they should have shipped. They got the last
- 12:03couple of it to me yet. Oh they're coming. All right, then
- 12:05we're always last. What else? What else is going on over on?
- 12:07Well, I'll tell you this though that that you know, the signed version
- 12:11of that card not going to be for a while. So because because we
- 12:13mentioned the person's in the UK, got it. That's your hint, that's
- 12:18your hint. I can't wait for him. I got these cards, man,
- 12:22I'm more excited for I just both. I just need reactions to both
- 12:26of these for all you guys when they come, please thank you. So
- 12:28follow up last week I was talking about the the Undertaker and Goblet of Booker,
- 12:33and I said the Undertaker was too tan, but but Psycho d freedom
- 12:37where you got de freedom. He pointed out that by the way, corporated
- 12:39this playing as a right to censor guy all weekend for some reason. On
- 12:46Undertaker's debut, he did have a little tans because you think he's coming off
- 12:50a mean mark. I don't think, and the gimmicks not fully developed yet.
- 12:54That makes sense. Actually a lot of it's kind of accurate if it's
- 12:56to that exact event for him to a little Tansky. Yeah, just weird
- 13:01having a tan Undertaker in your collection. But you don't ever know, because
- 13:03I feel like you're gonna display with the jacket anyway, and it is what
- 13:07it is. If you guys have any other follow up from last week,
- 13:11I do not well Rush Collectibles. Those figures are still really bad. I
- 13:16think all three of us are officially blocked on social media. Oh I didn't
- 13:18check. I'm not gonna get into it, but I've never really said anything.
- 13:24I mean, I'm only blocked by JBL and Rush Collectibles now that I
- 13:30know of those who don't know, those are the figures that that fell apart
- 13:33on us. On the podcast and then I went live on YouTube and it
- 13:35fell apart again. Listen. I think I always said some brom bro don't
- 13:43listen. Hey, I'm not saying don't buy them, just be prepared.
- 13:46They might break. But boys, boys, I'm blocked. You're blocked.
- 13:52Smart block is blocked. You didn't even buy them, saying to me bad
- 13:56he dm me about trying to sabotage his companies. Dude, no, these
- 14:00figures are garbage. You steal people's money, blah blah. Long story short.
- 14:03He told me to kiss his ass so and then he blocked me.
- 14:07So I wish them, wish them well in their future. Never other.
- 14:15Yeah. I guess we got to talking about our stuff, right, I
- 14:16mean power Town figures, the pre orders ending soon very soon, yes,
- 14:22Brian and Matt Tupac. I mean the greatest figures we've ever had in our
- 14:26lives. And I think it's very cool. Uh. I think we talked
- 14:28about this. Someone's like, why why are running man at a Tupac And
- 14:31we're like, why wouldn't we be, you know, like to celebrate what
- 14:33we've done outside of the w B. We're proud of ourselves. I hope
- 14:37you guys, are you know, like the things that we've been able to
- 14:39accomplish obviously thanks to all you guys and your support and like you know,
- 14:43all the other wrestling companies are you know around the world that we've been working
- 14:46for. So you guys have never had a two or you had a Jack's
- 14:48Tupac or yeas fifteen years. Wow, that's wild. That's pretty cool though.
- 14:52Yeah. I think there are most detailed figures for sure, for sure.
- 14:56Yeah, absolutely, And I think it's gonna be something that's gonna look
- 14:58great autographed. Oh yes, because unfortunately most of the Power Town guys are
- 15:03dead, so you can't get him signed. A little bit of a problem
- 15:07still alive, all, Yeah, it's true. Just you know you can't
- 15:09get that bird God yourself, Greg will sign it up. Think cardies out
- 15:13of your your power con figures. So these are still available. You got
- 15:24me as the indie god obviously, this guy's trying to rip me off in
- 15:26the front row, Brian, Yeah, mine, here here is my uh
- 15:31my latest gear from Impact And then I kind of did a little shout out
- 15:35to ToyBiz Marvel uh tna there, that's what the packaging was inspired by.
- 15:41If you haven't seen it yet. What's that gear? Is it? Like?
- 15:43Uh? Is it anything? I wanted it to be Jets inspired,
- 15:48you know, I got really back to being boned up. The Jets got
- 15:50iron Rodgers got real boned up. Somebody didn't say, I think probably in
- 15:54here if it was. Yeah, they really asked me if it was more
- 15:56dist inspired, and I've got that way more than I've got Jets. So
- 16:00yes, that's mortist gire. Guys. Actually, this is funny. This
- 16:03is funny story impact. We did something where we jumped Josh Axander Cashida last

- 22:56know, I know that the white hook shirt. Yes, and then he's
- 22:59got black boots and that's the only thing really different about the figure itself.
- 23:02And obviously the packaging is like hook packaging, right, but he's never wrestled
- 23:06in that. I'm pretty positive, no, if if I if I remember
- 23:10correctly, the the when he was showed his uh like prototype or whatever the
- 23:15hell they showed him, it was in the black boots, and you know,

- 23:37was ready to go with these black boots, and then he got those sneakers
- 23:41in and so he always used those sneakers. I was there for his day
- 23:44bet on Long Island, and I'm pretty sure he had the white yeah yea,

- 31:03do we get? A power con guys? Anything good? I'm deep down
- 31:08this rabbit hole which you've got in my head. And then kind of the
- 31:11Mattel guys too that like I'm and I didn't want to do it, but
- 31:14I'm replacing figures that Mattel have redone and cutting and justifying and I finally I
- 31:22look back. I started this vlog that eventually is gonna come out about my
- 31:26toy room. I think in April late April in videos to like a couple
- 31:30of days ago. So I've been just my room is like carpeted and bagged
- 31:36elite guys. I'm just making cuts and categorizing, like, you know,
- 31:38because obviously I wanted if you're in WCW guy, I want you to all
- 31:41to be in the close enough on the same show, you know, like
- 31:44Attitude. There are guys I want to be together, you know, just
- 31:45for my OCD can have some rest. But making these cuts and deciding,
- 31:51so there was so weird. There's four figures that I wanted to find here,
- 31:53and I found them all yesterday without even trying. I'm not gonna bory
- 31:56you with bring them out here because they're just updated ones different arms. So
- 32:00which guys did you end up getting? I had to reget that Undertaker legends
- 32:02with the Purple I had. I never bought the Jyd legends that just came
- 32:07out, justifying that that's different enough. The Christian Fan Takeover Fan Central or
- 32:13whatever, because it's the only the only Christian I kept in my collection of
- 32:15like friends and colleagues that I thought, I think it's the best one.
- 32:19What's the last time you hung out with Christian? He doesn't even respond to
- 32:21what He doesn't respond to our text. But but when he sees us,
- 32:25he's happy, and I know he's genuinely happy. He said, I told
- 32:30you in the airport the other day. He said some really nice things about
- 32:32you, Matt. He did. He literally brought you up. Just didn't
- 32:37I not tell me at let's go. He just he we were waiting for
- 32:42hear what we were waiting for a car or whatever, and he just started
- 32:45talking about how successful you're you are and how good you're doing. And wow,
- 32:51he's talking about me. Was he wine drink or something? No,
- 32:52he just got off the planet. I think it's just mean to your to
- 32:57your face, but I think he's genuinely he's proud of you. I feel
- 33:00too. I do think he likes us a lot. He just would never
- 33:01say it out loud. Yeah. Well he didn't come to my wedding,
- 33:04that's for sure. Well, yeah, he didn't say he was. And
- 33:07the last one is the wrestling and three Ricky Steamboat and the white fan take.
- 33:12When I got him, I was crazy. I walked around but found
- 33:15him on here very affordable too, So those are cuts and guts that I
- 33:20got. So I got we're doing that that Dick Tracy, uh little episode.
- 33:25So I got this al big Boy caprice. So I bought Dick Tracy
- 33:30a couple of weeks ago. But I needed like he's like the top guy,
- 33:35he's the heel, so I needed it. It's it's coming off the
- 33:37card like it doesn't matter. I'm gonna let this breathe anyway, Like it's
- 33:40unglued, you know what I'm saying. Where's this hunchback? He's like,
- 33:44oh, like I was watching this morning? Yeah, well not in the
- 33:46figure really lean here. These figures were awesome, like I had there was
- 33:51very nice going into this movie. So many figures, so many villains.
- 33:55Yeah, well we're gonna talk a lot about that on the bonus episode.
- 33:59Yes, but if anyone has the blank, I'm looking for it. But
- 34:02I did in the pack. I'm not gonna open up a lot of bush.
- 34:07If there was a blank here, I would buy it, but anyone,
- 34:13but these figures are great. I'm not gonna be a completist. There's
- 34:15so many of them, but I want to have the blank cheap. Yeah,
- 34:22I mean everyone bought the blank. Everyone blank? Yeah. I bought
- 34:28this for five bucks. Yeah, so they're cheap for sure, but I
- 34:31definitely want the blank like in in the box and then the Dick Tracy Lewis,
- 34:35and then you want to men on card blank, Yeah preferably. Okay,
- 34:39yeah, I think you need flat top too, but maybe there's a
- 34:43flat top here. But it was yellow the white shirt was yellowing. I
- 34:45don't want that. Yeah, I would get flat top that's released. M
- 34:50Yeah, so the movie keep it away, the movie without for a while.
- 34:55That's when they released it. You can't hear this, but the guy
- 35:00in the front row saying that she was released in Canada, so that's why.
- 35:06Yeah, all right, what else have you guys got? I got
- 35:08the Marcos thirty. Yeah, so Brian bought this for me. So the
- 35:15The he Man movie with Dolf Lungern is one of my favorite Heman for that
- 35:21Wow, applause, What a what a film it. I do not think
- 35:25it holds up, but it is a great nostalgia. Just lost his match,
- 35:30but he's still learing it against the lake. He tried clap. Anyways,
- 35:36love the movie. They've made a number of figures to represent that Dolf
- 35:39Lungern he Man. However, the heads are really bad. Super seven head
- 35:44is passable. The Mattel head is awful. Uh. And so there's a
- 35:47company and I don't remember the name here, rom and Toy, Rom and
- 35:53Toy. They did these manufactured Dolf Lungern heads that go on your Super seven.
- 36:00So cool. I thought this was a customer. This is a real
- 36:01product. It's a real product, but it's really illegal. Uh yeah,
- 36:07I'm not really sure. I hear. I believe the head is so bad
- 36:09that this guy was able to like, I think it's the whole thing.
- 36:13Yeah, yeah, like it's pretty cool. I got two versions of this
- 36:16of this Dolph Lungren said that Mattel one came out and it was so bad.
- 36:21I just didn't even get it. But I bought this head and then
- 36:23I bought it today. It's still on Mattel Creation, so I have that
- 36:25coming in the mail. But I got two Dolph Lungren's heads. That's what
- 36:28I got. Is the Mattel One's supposed to look like Dolph Lungren. Uh
- 36:31yeah, well you know they can't do yes exactly right exactly, but it's
- 36:36the same gear or whatever you would say. It's the same look from the
- 36:38film. Got us two of the exact same heads, but they have different
- 36:42peg hole sizes to fit different figures. Theoretically speak right, yes, yeah
- 36:45cool. I also picked up I also picked up this Tune Tourtals Irma bro
- 36:53I said, who the hell is Irma? You gotta get an Irma.
- 36:55She's she's Mark said, she's necessary. Yeah, she's in every episode.
- 37:00She's yes, and I have her Neca figure. But these Brian, this
- 37:04was the Tune Turtles. So the Turtles that we grew up with, the
- 37:07figures didn't look like the cartoons. You were like twenty when that came out,
- 37:13I was I was out of Turtle two, so I've since rebought like
- 37:21the Tune Turtles, so I need Irma. Who who is Irma? Works
- 37:25at Channel six? She's April's f friends. She's She's man crazed, which
- 37:31was it was a very weird, very weird character choice, you know for
- 37:35a children's show. Yeah, speaking of Necka and Turtles, Mark, what
- 37:38do you do with that sewer that they're putting out? Oh? Man,
- 37:42So they have this sewer on display. I've been told two hundred and ninety
- 37:47nine dollars and it comes with all the accessories for the turtle layer and decorate
- 37:52your own sewer, but that they want you to buy two, I would
- 37:55need to ask the guy. He's like, it's just suggestive that one of
- 38:00the cool things is it fits directly underneath that street diorama that they sold,
- 38:04So so if you have that and you place it right on top, that's
- 38:07your whole display, I guess. But that's not even remotely close to the
- 38:09amount of figures that they've come out for the neck cartoon, So you really
- 38:14kind of got to do a lot. I mean, I was talking to
- 38:15Kyle Peterson for like an hour about this. I don't know what to do.
- 38:19I might, I might buy two, and I might put it on
- 38:22my existing display and raise the entire display up, but then it's a quarter
- 38:27of my room becomes a Ninja Turtle cartoon display, and then that's just too
- 38:30much. I feel it's just a little weird. I don't think that's what
- 38:36I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. N who Irma was Yeah, that's
- 38:40why the Nitro ring was wonky to me, because you walk into my office
- 38:46where I was gonna put it, and then it looks like my office is
- 38:50a Nitro office because of how big it is. So the turtle thing,
- 38:54Like I'm either going six hundred dollars into this thing or I'm going to sell
- 39:00all my cert things get out because you'd have to buy another city diorama too,
- 39:04right, Yeah, it's like I don't know what that thing costs.
- 39:07Well a secondary market now probably, Oh my god, I don't know.
- 39:12That's a lot of money. Yeah, I think. I think stuff like
- 39:13that, like because I'm dealing with it too, is like real estate is
- 39:15all just what's your wheelhouse? Yeah, like I'm willing to give up more
- 39:19for Hasbro w Hasbro stuff, hundred CCW stuff because that's like my complete wheelhouse
- 39:24of what of my fandom? You know, Like another thing's kind of trickled
- 39:29down to the wayside. Speaking of signed Hasbros that you need. I saw
- 39:32someone had a Rick Rude in our Facebook group. Yeah Bernard, where's Bernard?
- 39:37No? Yeah, it's cool. I don't think I've ever seen one.
- 39:39I do think that was real. But it's a Tubernards. You all
- 39:42buy because says Toubernards ballpoint pen, which is expected, But it's a Dubernard
- 39:45and I would get it as a placeholder. What if you'd ever get another
- 39:52one? Would either Kubernard or none at all? What's the price? Uh?
- 39:58Did I didn't even get that far? So I don't we have thousands?
- 40:00I would have to think, yeah, yeah, man, yeah,
- 40:04I don't know. If if it was a decent price, maybe I get
- 40:06there. Bernard, you're jumping for joy. Yeah anybody know what Bernard?
- 40:09He was a big Rick Frud fan named Bernard. Yeah. It's a tough
- 40:14sell. I haven't meant on card. Okay. Yeah, so it's like,
- 40:16really, there's really nothing for me. I get it. Okay.
- 40:20Somebody was saying, is there a way to get the pen off and just
- 40:22get it? To say to b that's impossible, all right? What about
- 40:30what about these ushos? Brian that you guys it's time, It's time,
- 40:32all right? Marks would have to okay, yeah, this is great.
- 40:36Look at this well, first off, like I said, the most professional
- 40:39wrestlers, not a gimmick's way of life, prepared to bag these bad boys
- 40:45when I'll mix them up there when we're done. Because I'm all nervous,
- 40:49man, I'm still not convinced that one's Jay and the O there's Jib.
- 40:52I think they're both Jay. So I think this middle head is Jay.
- 41:00Everything else is Jimmy and that's all Jay. Let me see deep Freedom disagrees.
- 41:06He he doesn't know either though. He's just taking his best educated guests
- 41:08too, so they're probably like, what's throwing it off is Jimmy shouldn't have
- 41:14the banks period, And then Jimmy did get leaner and they they're just they're
- 41:21twins and they became even more you know, twin like with that. It's
- 41:24very tough, bro. I'm looking at these this Jimmy, I just see
- 41:28J J J J triple J. That's definitely Jay. I don't know,
- 41:37I don't think so. Man, let's get at it. You're opening technically
- 41:40Jimmy or Jimmy is being open at first, but you think they're all Jay.
- 41:45Please silence your cell phones out there on the crowd, walkers and cell
- 41:47phones off. Where's kassam at one person got that joke. That jokes only
- 41:55for one person anyway, all right, we're in cool packaging. At one
- 42:04point, didn't we think the pictures were even wrong? Because that's corrected.
- 42:06No, No, they that was on the Yeah, because this is definitely
- 42:09all Jimmy photo. This is definitely yeah, definitely Jay in the box.
- 42:14All right, we have the flower necklace, we the ones, soft good
- 42:21shirt. I mean, these guys are definitely worthy of Ultimate figures, but
- 42:25I don't think they're all nice and tight new pant molds, bloodline on there.
- 42:32I think this is I'm happy with this. I think this is Jimmy.
- 42:36Maybe that face is the hair, the hair, the bangs are throwing
- 42:39it off. Did he ever have bangs like that? I don't really think
- 42:44so. No. I mean the hair is clearly longer like whoop and the
- 42:46jail. You'll see that the hair won't be that long. Tats look awesome.
- 42:52I'm very happy with us, both belts, the hat. I also
- 42:54think when you display just go hat, you won't be able to really you
- 43:00know, let me see that hat on him. It's a little big,
- 43:02a little big. It's good. Then you don't even see the banks.
- 43:07That's I think that's the solve. Okay, yeah, two much sets of
- 43:10hands the point. I think that's what everyone probably wants. Right. Oh
- 43:14yeah, you're going shirt, shirt and flowers, I think is what I'm
- 43:20doing. Maybe even the belts. Oh yeah, oh you gotta go with
- 43:22the belts. That was a pretty cool. I think, honestly, these
- 43:30guys are so hot. Rinkside is gonna make a killing with this that solo?
- 43:35Was it like in the top one or two for I'm telling me,
- 43:37I went the pastical times. I went there. You see the outgoing orders
- 43:39and it's just USO's and codies, like just piles them. Wow, it
- 43:45looks like but the beard, the beard is the paint application. You guys
- 43:50are gonna have to see it here in the crowd. But like the gray
- 43:53and the beard is a little suspect. Other than that, it looks like
- 43:55he was eating the pattern doughnut. Yeah it's not. Yeah, yeah,
- 44:00it's a little funky. He's on the pants. I don't know the pants
- 44:04are different. Cool. Amen, this is a much anticipated figure for me.
- 44:09I love these guys, so no, definitely worthy of ultimates. I'll
- 44:13definitely be getting them as well. I just wish they could get the faces
- 44:15down better because I mean, they're twins, but they're not identical twins.

- 48:45style with the single. Huh it's coming with cella. Just did that.
- 48:49That's interesting. Well, the cello one, I think is horrible, so
- 48:52this one is an improvement. It's not horrible. It's not it's not gonna
- 48:57I thought. I thought the cello on it was all right. It was
- 48:59weird, like streaks in the hair. Yeah, which is all That's just
- 49:02not gonna excite you. But it's fine. I'm interesting. God, all
- 49:07right, introduce yourself and ask your question. So what is your favorite Jack's
- 49:12WWE figure and why is it royal rubble Mark Henry in the Fault Henry.
- 49:17Yeah, that Mark Henry is when they were cutting cutting costs and they didn't
- 49:21put the singlet on him. So I feel like if you didn't live in
- 49:23that collecting time. You're not never gonna understand. It's like they knew they
- 49:27lost the license and they said fuck it. Yeah, you know, they
- 49:29would wouldn't put logoes on. They didn't give Mark Henry a singlet. But
- 49:34favorite Jack's Man, Favorite Jack's what anything brutal digression era hm Man. I
- 49:42would say that the Treacherous Trios Kurtawk e, Zack Ryder. I mean for
- 49:46sentimental reasons, that's obviously, yeah, you know, you never forget your
- 49:50first you know. And we actually have the the prototypes of the hand Paid
- 49:54A prototypes because Jack's was really cool about giving talent who cared like the hand
- 49:59Paid A proto types like Mattel won't give you jack shit, you know.
- 50:02So Jackson was really really cool about it. And then that three pack was
- 50:06supposed to come with a gray beanie that I wore like a beanie hat.
- 50:10It never did, but the soft kids, but the prototype has it,
- 50:14so I guess I'm the only one in the world with that. So it's
- 50:15cool. Great question. I don't know if I can answer. I didn't
- 50:20collect him classics that don't doesn't really count. Class count then than the Red
- 50:24Road Rick Flair period end of story. That's in our Hall of fame,
- 50:29right, yeah, I think it is phenomenal. Thank you buddy. Great
- 50:30question, Indy mad Max coming up question powers on wrestlings. I got first
- 50:39serious, awesome line from the manufacture. But what are my questions saying opinion?
- 50:49Going back to fix the kids on the first wave, I think that
- 50:52put them behind the gable for their future announcements. I ever heard anything announcement,
- 51:00but as far as they're sure you too the Ultra mine, I ever
- 51:01heard anything. I would assume so yeah, yeah, I definitely think so
- 51:06yeah. And besides us being signed as talent, we have no like involvement
- 51:12with the company. But I think that they need to get series two rolling
- 51:15quick because you know, you don't want just six figures on the show.
- 51:19You need to build a collection. You know, they're so hot right now.
- 51:21The prices on eBay for the that series one is crazy and Whoever's whatever,
- 51:25like not a lot of other places picked them up right and when they're
- 51:30selling like crazy, so it's like, man, you gotta strike. I
- 51:31feel like I think they're I think they're great figures and they're not like in
- 51:36the same universe as like Mattel or aw, so they need more of their
- 51:39own figures, you know what I'm saying, because they need they're a little
- 51:45bigger, you know, so like you need more of them to have a
- 51:47real collection of them in my opinion, you know, hopefully sooner than later.
- 51:53But I and I'm not trying to get a shot of matel. But
- 51:55Mattel's got like the same people Like, oh was like unless you're like a
- 52:00whole Cogan Diard, I am a whole Cogan Diard, but enough fucking Hogans.
- 52:05So like at least they have that. They have a kind of a
- 52:07wacky rolodex of people that you know, we would never get from to tell.
- 52:10So that's like what's exciting about that too for me? Like Jacques ro
- 52:13Joe's dad not that deep down not that deep down the hole, but you
- 52:17know, yeah, cool man, thank you. I will say this,
- 52:21like, so we got the we get to see the actual prototypes I've met
- 52:25that Matt and Brian and they're fucking incredible. But they gave me the robe
- 52:30to take home and look at my actual rope to compare and contrast. I
- 52:34hate soft goods and I think it's the best soft goods any wrestling company's ever
- 52:37done. And that's coming from a guy who hates soft goods. Wow.
- 52:40Cool. I got kind of two questions. One's at Matt wal Week.
- 52:46Did you get any heat from wearing Chelsea's a pet? From who Chelsea?
- 52:55Don't? I don't think so. First of all, as a replica,
- 53:00I got people talking and don't he with you? I don't. We can
- 53:04fire me. I was already fired. No, it's all good. Do
- 53:12you guys? Did you talk about and maybe have plans to opening up a
- 53:15store that back where we live in New York or in New York can noo
- 53:21this by talks about that. I think it's so for fifty million dollars,
- 53:24let me tell you my dream. This is my dream. I'm still pitching
- 53:28it to connect. I think it's a great idea. The record in Orlando.
- 53:30Right, we move our major pod merch like warehouse, which basically connects
- 53:37fucking house. Yeah, we move it to Orlando. We set it up
- 53:39like a store like figures on Pegs. Blah blah blah, small small Captain
- 53:44Joe Shoes is there to greet you like a Walmart? No? No,
- 53:46but I have a podcast due in the back where I record the podcast but
- 53:51we don't keep the store open Monday through Friday, and like every other weekend
- 53:54we bring in like Dan Housing or something for a signing, and then we
- 53:58open the store up. That's my dream. I wouldn't want to have like
- 54:00I wouldn't trust anybody else because I'd want to put like all the Hasbro's like
- 54:05on display, like the Rhythm Blues, Greg Valentine, I wouldn't trust some
- 54:07fucking kid in there when I'm not there, you know what I'm saying.
- 54:10So that's my goal. But we gotta get connected to a moved to Orlando
- 54:14b get his license. Yeah no, no, weld one. He has
- 54:17his license the major wrestling figure store, yes exactly. Yeah, probably not
- 54:25gonna happen, but it's a dream. I think it's happenings Knicks has informed
- 54:30us that he's he's taking driving lessons. He's going to a driving school.
- 54:35And here's the interesting thing. He might be the first time any human being
- 54:37has done that while having a license. He already has a license. Now
- 54:42he's going to school to learn how to drive. Yeah, hello, this
- 54:47might be a question with you and any Disney character. Oh man, that's
- 54:59a load of question. Brian and Aladdin. I think Brian and pigment arch
- 55:06Nemesis. Oh, it's a it's a battle pack you versus figment Bright.
- 55:10I just don't know who he is. And they were talking about one time.
- 55:13I'm like, are you gonna tattooed? Sorry to hear that man,
- 55:20Thank you, thank you. Well. Does Indiana Jones count as Disney?
- 55:23I think so. I think so percent he does. They got a ride,
- 55:29Yeah, yeah, I think you mean like Mickey or something like that.
- 55:31Yeah, just a two packs that Mackey would be great, Macrodona Mickey.
- 55:35Why not. I'd have to just use the cheek code and be like
- 55:37someone from Descendants, so my kids would think I'm cool. That's where I'm
- 55:42leaning towards because I don't care personally, like, you know, you're no
- 55:45fun? Sorry? Can I can I be in with recket Ralph? Yeah?
- 55:49All right sure. By the way, you just saw just saw those
- 55:52two movies, and Ralph was like my favorite. You never seen No.
- 55:57No. My daughter kept saying no all the time, and we finally watched
- 56:00it and she loves it. I think she just thought it was about the
- 56:04big weird dude. But but the girl is like the main character really,
- 56:07so Penelope. Yeah, great movie. Guys, have a question anybody we
- 56:14got the Yeah, I can take a couple of questions we have from the
- 56:16group if you guys want to think about it. But we're we're gonna be
- 56:19sticking around here for some time, so go ahead and think of some questions
- 56:22and pop right up when you have all Right, hold on here, Okay,
- 56:29we got y. Yeah. I think we're all gonna be in the
- 56:37WW very soon. A j Lanagan. Aj Lanagan says, uh, will
- 56:43we be seeing more modern talent in the big rubber Guys line down the road?
- 56:50Really? Oh, I had no idea. No, we want to
- 56:52keep the big Rubber Guys nostalgic, like if you know ljan would have continued,
- 57:00or if LJM would have gotten the w c W NWA license. Is
- 57:04why we're doing flair from NWA. You know, we only do ourselves as
- 57:07a test run end because we're marks ourselves and that's right business. But yeah,
- 57:10right, I was just yeah, I mean there, I don't think
- 57:14we would do like a Swogle or like maybe certain guys like a Nick Gage
- 57:19or something maybe, but like no offense to Eppie, but no EPI or
- 57:22no I'd rather like keep it like cool nostalgic line. Absolutely, sure,
- 57:28that's cool. At the moment, Jeffrey Cronniac says, are you still finding
- 57:31things made during your childhoods that you never knew existed until now? Uh?
- 57:37I thought about this a second ago, not totally like this, but walking
- 57:40in Power Power Con, I saw these figures and I don't even know what
- 57:46they are, maybe shoes knows. They came out in the eighties. They're
- 57:50like big guys and they have all these like peg holes in it. And
- 57:53then I guess, yes, yeah, I saw that and it was just
- 58:00like one of those Oh, I haven't out of those toys in twenty two
- 58:05years or in twenty two probably whatever, since I was four years old,
- 58:08right, And then I saw that and I remember had all these memories of
- 58:13having all the colors and then building on them and like the scuba guy,
- 58:16it was insane and just seeing that one laying on the on the table.
- 58:20Yeah, when you read that question, I was thinking more into that,
- 58:22like things that I just had and I hadn't seen it a long time.
- 58:25When I saw biker mice from Mars yesterday and I was like, holy,
- 58:29I had these, like I haven't thought about biker mice from Mars twenty five
- 58:32years plus from didn't. I mean it was just cool. It was just
- 58:36cool, just taking back the guy I had these. I couldn't tell you
- 58:37one thing about biker mycer Mars, but I know I had those three figures
- 58:39and they played with them. I almost bought you know, back in the
- 58:43day, they made that w WF like hockey they play set, so someone
- 58:46had that. Someone has it here and they had like a Turtles one and
- 58:51I was gonna get the Turtles one if it was absolutely mint. But we
- 58:52opened it up and it was like played with the stickers. Have that as
- 58:55a kid, the Turtles when I did not, But I would have bought
- 58:58it. Where do you have your WWF one? It's just in a box?
- 59:01Really, yeah, in a perfect world in that new room. Are
- 59:05you gonna try to put it out like like out, like if you were
- 59:08to play with it or like on a table or something. Yeah, that's
- 59:10cool. If I would, That's something on my list, like some day
- 59:15I would like to own that, but I don't know where I would put
- 59:16it. I think you need some of those pieces, Brian, Like if
- 59:20you're missed a perfect guy nah, I played it and my friends as I
- 59:22never owned it, so I'm okay, this is a good one. We
- 59:27were just talking about Brian re ordering their those Mattel figures. John Webb says,
- 59:31if you could have any Mattel figure rereleased, what would it be?
- 59:35So in a world where we're getting better figures now, well, is it
- 59:39just gonna have hands and new elbows? Are we talking like a different version?
- 59:44I think you could fix it. No, And I'm saying like a
- 59:45fixed version of whatever? The thing? I mean, I would love to
- 59:51have a nice Jimmy's stuck in the town one sucks. Yeah, But I
- 59:53think he's saying like it's gonna just be the fixed elbows and stuff. Then
- 59:58well, I know, I mean I imagine they fixed whatever. Oh well,
- 1:00:00then I can't put a different like different parts on them era of Jimmy
- 1:00:04snukers what I was trying. I'm thinking, I'm thinking the fixed, you
- 1:00:07know, like with better with hands and stuff. I think there are now
- 1:00:13that I was going through. I mean, well, god, damn,
- 1:00:15the Macho man I got canceled would be nice. Yeah, that's such an
- 1:00:17amazing figure and now you look at it like man to have it with the
- 1:00:20point they're doing the pose and be a lot better than just secrets standing at
- 1:00:24a side. So that's as I'm going through these, I am seeing that
- 1:00:28a lot of them, like the old ones, are still nice figures.
- 1:00:30But man, if you were able to have different hands and you could kind
- 1:00:32of pose them hands, yeah, I really I need a w C w
- 1:00:37DDP with the with the diamond hands right, good call? Okay, yeah
- 1:00:43that yeah, because they've never done that. It did the basics with the
- 1:00:45jeans, and then they also have just not a good thing. Yeah whatever,
- 1:00:49Yeah, I don't want that one. I want the top guy.
- 1:00:52I'd want them to reduce some of those bread harts with and corrected glasses every
- 1:00:57bread heart or just not make the face ugly. We get a twenty pack
- 1:01:00of Bret Hart's all correct. Where's this guy needs to make some bred heads
- 1:01:04to make a kill in here? Oh man, all right, we got
- 1:01:08we got a question and introduce yourself. I'm here. I wanted to ask
- 1:01:13you guys the success you guys have had carrying on the Vandels line and then
- 1:01:17continuing on the LG line. Is there another defunct toy line that's next down
- 1:01:22the road that you guys would like to continue. Oh man, I don't
- 1:01:25think so. I mean there's so much retro stuff out there, especially in
- 1:01:30the wrestling space, like so many people are doing the Hasbro style. Even
- 1:01:34how Figure Collection is doing that bone crushing style, which I would have picked,
- 1:01:37you know, but I didn't even think it was possible to do.
- 1:01:40But he figured it out with the bone crunching, but then it got too
- 1:01:43expensive for him. So serious too. He's not even gonna have the bone
- 1:01:45crunching. I don't think you need it, but I think we're gonna stick
- 1:01:47with the big rubber guys from Yeah, there's no plans. But the only
- 1:01:51thing that I would even consider major Sweat, I would the only thing I
- 1:01:58would even consider. I would actually I would get it as well. I
- 1:02:01would hate to have this really jack figure of himself. Yeah, oh man,
- 1:02:06I would. It's a tough sell, like a low run Yeah,
- 1:02:09oh yeah. I could definitely get it into a maximum sweats major sweat.
- 1:02:14Yeah. Man, look at him, Man, the wheels are spenting.
- 1:02:15Does he have gooseumps on his eyes? O? Question? What's up?
- 1:02:21Man? This is excuse me. You all already were about the impact wrestling
- 1:02:25figures. I know everything there is to know about this. It's not my
- 1:02:35story to tell yet, but when it's all said and done, I will
- 1:02:38be the white Knight of this story and you guys will thank me for it.
- 1:02:45But yeah, just have patience is all I could say. As crazy
- 1:02:51on let me tellerios like that one open hand is like yeah, just looks
- 1:02:59like the loved yeah something yeah. Or the best example is what's what was
- 1:03:07spuds w B named Drake Maverick. That's a wild one. Yeah, I
- 1:03:12should have put some female hands on them, but uh yeah, that's just
- 1:03:16I think that's just working. Someone are amazing, like someone like that was
- 1:03:20looking at something like the two sweets are like a little tiny. Yeah,
- 1:03:22it's just you know, preference. But the open hand is the one that's
- 1:03:25kind of funny. You put on Johnny Gargano, it goes like gross and
- 1:03:28sad. It's just too tiny. More questions from the group. Yeah we
- 1:03:34got this was like I'm waiting for shoots. I'm looking right at your shoes.
- 1:03:37Let's go on, class. Nitchel Baker said, should aw wrestlers be
- 1:03:45made to keep their gear for longer so their action figures do not age out
- 1:03:50so quickly? That's an insane as I thought this was a rule in WW
- 1:03:52that you couldn't change hair color, et cetera without permission? Is that true?
- 1:03:57M yeah, well yes and no no, I guess there was for
- 1:04:00sure. And I don't know about right now, but w B, like
- 1:04:03you weren't allowed to just get a drastic haircut or a tattoo because like,
- 1:04:08it's not really toys, it's everything. It's like photos and you know,
- 1:04:11promotional things that they have you on, you know, and it kind of
- 1:04:15depends on your status of how much you could get in trouble about that.
- 1:04:18You remember like Umaga, I remember Maga coming in with the was a Samoa
- 1:04:23and stuffy what the fuck? And then they just forgot about it. Like
- 1:04:26of course the back is I get in trouble. The major brothers did that,
- 1:04:28we would have been five, you know. So that that's the reason
- 1:04:31behind that, and that to to coordinate toys to take a year to make
- 1:04:36with people's outfits on television real time is virtually impossible. And tell us try
- 1:04:42a couple of times. It's it's just and then and then and then Another
- 1:04:45thing is the boys are doing the opposite, like when we used to rive
- 1:04:48a punk back in the day he was purposely changing his gear NonStop to get
- 1:04:53more toys, so like like it was literally on purpose, but but also
- 1:04:57in a world where, like, you know, the television product is the
- 1:05:00most important thing possible. The angles on TV that the character changes, like
- 1:05:04they're not in a room going, man, we really need to like,
- 1:05:08you know, get this guy out of this group and then somebody's going.
- 1:05:11But they have an Inner Circle figure coming out, so we can't do that.
- 1:05:15You know, people would be like, we don't care if that figure
- 1:05:18doesn't sell a single one. We have to do this this change. I
- 1:05:21don't think that's ever come up in any booking meeting and all of wrestling.
- 1:05:25Yeah, exactly, exactly. Well, what we got a celebrity first time
- 1:05:29right here? Is this your first power contact, bultime listen or first time
- 1:05:34bowler. Mat I mentioned the cast Layer from Super seven before, so I
- 1:05:40was wondering, is there a premium item from another toy line that is kind
- 1:05:45of a grail item, something big, massive from the toy line you guys
- 1:05:49would like that could go into productions. They're like an item you design,
- 1:05:54maybe like a techno drone from Turtles or something like a really big one that
- 1:05:58with oncest you want you wanted the uh the Jurassic Park gates right now,
- 1:06:04one of those goddamn Jurassic Park gates that we're not going to get. But
- 1:06:08I said the technodrome. Look, I just said on this podcast that I
- 1:06:11was considering getting contradict getting out. Yeah, but I guess if you were
- 1:06:15going to do a big thing, uh, you know, if this,
- 1:06:17if this ThunderCats thing does great and they report great numbers from it, I
- 1:06:23could see Super seven or Neka doing a Technodrome type of thing that's same size.
- 1:06:28For sure. That would be you would be huge, bro, the
- 1:06:30same size, literally the same size of that thing you could do. Yeah,
- 1:06:33oh my god, I mean if that thing is huge, Yeah,
- 1:06:36the Technodrome would be huge. I think it's just unfortunate that the Nitro stage
- 1:06:41and get back, I mean in the wrestling landscape. Yeah, it's tough
- 1:06:44to even imagine once now that that didn't get back. So I don't think
- 1:06:47Mattel's gonna try anything that size. Keep saying like a terry, like a
- 1:06:54bloody terry funk with the ECW entrance way, you know, Yeah, that's
- 1:06:57that could be. That could be a market though, Yeah, well,
- 1:07:00I'm thinking that's the meat on the bone that it's like, you know,
- 1:07:01bloody or something that would keep it out of the stores would be too big,
- 1:07:06don't we think just like a premium raw stage, Like I don't even
- 1:07:10know if it needs to have some sort of this is the ninety seven stage
- 1:07:13or whatever, like couldn't you just do a premium raw ramp with it with
- 1:07:16us? But how do you execute the trown? I don't know. But
- 1:07:20you can just pick a time that that looks good. I mean, there
- 1:07:24was a give someone a stunner on it, like I don't know if that's
- 1:07:28like I mean, uh, you know what a flashing lights? I don't
- 1:07:30know. I don't know, raw raw logo something that's the problem. Yet
- 1:07:35another question here release, yes, right, single release, single release.
- 1:07:45Brian is in charge of that, so I don't know what's going on with
- 1:07:46that. I'm that set on a glow in the Dark features, so we're
- 1:07:50like working on it. Yeah. Yeah, she's gonna be a standalone with
- 1:07:54her own exclusive carding and if we can get it to glow in the dark,
- 1:07:57they we're gonna do glow. I'm pretty confident in that that's been going
- 1:08:00on for a long time and toys. I don't feel like, well hit
- 1:08:01too many hurdles with that. Yeah, uh September, we'll put up the
- 1:08:11next step of pre order, which we haven't probably said who it is?
- 1:08:15Have we? No, you want to just drop some knowledge? Sure,
- 1:08:19well now we have to. Y is gonna be heath Na Ponderosa, Uh,
- 1:08:29Chavo Guerrea with Pepe Yep and Conan K Dog. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:08:40yeah, all right, Dave, Dave Willer. So this is something I've
- 1:08:45been seen around here, all the crossover figures like Sarkin, Slaughter Leaving g
- 1:08:48I, Joe and stuff like that. What is a line that you would
- 1:08:51like to see you guys crossover with, like in an ideal situation, So
- 1:08:57Rocking Alo was supposed to be a Joe. I think the Turtles are like
- 1:09:03horring themselves out so much. Well, let's let's just a major Turtles,
- 1:09:08a Dylan Postle with the Muppets. What I would like, ghost bust sacrifice
- 1:09:13myself for a Dylan Postle and the Mupples? Who would but who would they
- 1:09:16be? Just let's officially make him a Muppet like we always knew that he
- 1:09:20was. Oh my god, that's horrible. I would love I would love
- 1:09:24turtles. That's what I'm actually premium minum. That he could sell a muppet
- 1:09:28swaggle. Yeah, well he wasn't a Muppet movie, I know, but
- 1:09:30make him a mule. How has he not made that already? He could
- 1:09:33get somebody to design a swaggle muppet and then he could just make it sell
- 1:09:36it. It would be great. Harry's created a swoggle buppet him. Yeah,
- 1:09:42ship that was stifferent. It was stiffer than anything I said anyway.
- 1:09:45Uh, did you have an answer? No, I don't know. Turtles
- 1:09:48would be great, Turtles, major Bendy. I actually I was thinking,
- 1:09:50what about like big rubber guys? I was I was thinking earlier, if
- 1:09:56if you were to branch out into things from the eighties, so maybe like
- 1:09:59an eighteen big Rubbers guys. Maybe not mister t but the other guys I
- 1:10:03would love, like a Rocky Balboa, Yeah, guy, Yeah, that
- 1:10:05would be yeah, that's perfect. Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah,
- 1:10:12John Cohen, would you buy a he Man big rubber guy? Absolutely,
- 1:10:15he's in all right, we got one sale. Go as far as here
- 1:10:18he made it. I didn't see him at the table as far made his
- 1:10:20debut a Creative pro Wrestling as a referee. Guys, Congras, there you
- 1:10:25go. Look at that round applies. So all the things you got,
- 1:10:31guys have accomplished the five years for the podcast, like the most surprising where
- 1:10:38they never called would ever happened, and here we are. It's here,
- 1:10:42like almost everything. Yeah, I think because I didn't know when we started
- 1:10:45the podcast. It was just us fucking talking about toys. I think the
- 1:10:50first one is like forty five minutes. We didn't think that there would be
- 1:10:54merch where there would be or on figure line or T shirts or whether we
- 1:10:59get fired. Yeah, everything, I mean, everything can changed. Like
- 1:11:02you know, it's like I can't even think to what I was thinking back
- 1:11:06then because it's everything's drastically changed so much. You never expect. You never
- 1:11:11thought, guys, that you would be making a Ric Flair action figure Okay,
- 1:11:15yeah, wiring him money, wiring Ric Flair money. Didn't think that
- 1:11:19would happen, not going through, and then him being pissed, then having
- 1:11:23a pay palot and then he getting set the paypalt his pants. Oh my
- 1:11:28god. Yeah, just everything. Uh, I mean I say it all
- 1:11:31the time, but I I am forever grateful that Matt pushed me to do
- 1:11:36this because I did not. I didn't have the vision of what it could
- 1:11:40have been, and I don't I don't think you did either, But at
- 1:11:43least you do something, and like it was just life changing that we you
- 1:11:46know that we we did this. So it's been been a wild ride.
- 1:11:50I'm you know, I don't see an ending ever. So I mean it's
- 1:11:55been so cool, turned into like a real business, like a full blown
- 1:11:58job, really feel like work, you know, we're talking about toys or
- 1:12:01designing toys or it's just it's so much fun. But yeah, like we
- 1:12:06didn't think any of this. This wasn't like the plan in the beginning was
- 1:12:11to you know, now even just that we'd be at a power cord and
- 1:12:15talking about toy you know, like this isn't even a wrestling eventution around it
- 1:12:17right now. It's kind of like surreal in that sense, right, Like
- 1:12:19that's how far Less has come, you know. So that's that's a great
- 1:12:23question. I will say that. On the other side of it, I
- 1:12:28think I feel like I saw it. I mean I saw that through here.
- 1:12:33No I've said I've told this story before, but I saw Brian was
- 1:12:40my wrestling teacher, and I saw him tweet would you guys like it if
- 1:12:45me and Matt did a wrestling figure podcast? That's what I saw, and
- 1:12:47I immediately texted him and said, if you guys do this, I want
- 1:12:51to help because I had just launched off the hop rope, and you know,
- 1:12:57I sort of was thinking, I just want to have a good time
- 1:13:00to start this podcast, get a new brand out there, whatever, But
- 1:13:03I also was thinking that down the line, like what's the business plan here?
- 1:13:08How could I monetize this? Where could this go? What would I
- 1:13:12need to do to have that happen? And then so when I saw Brian
- 1:13:15say that on Twitter, all I saw where that could go. I saw
- 1:13:18the success that I was imagining in my head off that rope, but times
- 1:13:23a million, because these guys were even more of an expert about the topic.
- 1:13:28They were the perfect spokespeople for the wrestling figure industry. It was just
- 1:13:33I saw it. I saw that the podcast would be very successful. However,
- 1:13:38I did not see this. I thought that the audio podcast would be
- 1:13:43a successful venture. I was like, like, as far as I saw,
- 1:13:45I was like, we'll have a T shirts store and prossing team we'll
- 1:13:49sell some funny shirts from time to time. Those about it, like even
- 1:13:51in the beginning, I've talked about it before, Like we presented the idea
- 1:13:56of to WWE whatever it was gonna be, like the Zach and Kurt Wrestling
- 1:13:59figure show, and they said no, and they said, you know,
- 1:14:01they didn't see anything in collectibles or podcast. Luckily, somebody who may or
- 1:14:05may not be in his room sead just go ahead and do it. So
- 1:14:10thank you very much the insight pal. But yeah, and then you know
- 1:14:16when we got fired, luckily it was Matt and Brian because it would have
- 1:14:20been gone and we were able to build upon it and grow it. And
- 1:14:25uh, we got a question here, got Clark Kent, can we help
- 1:14:29you? Good question from uh? Is that is that the that number one
- 1:14:33referee bending? Yes? The referee bending number one? No. The big
- 1:14:41guys are great. I'm excited to see that iconic as towy line kind of
- 1:14:45continue almost What goes into create a toy line? What goes what kind of
- 1:14:50work? Can you talk a little bit about fit sign that? Sure,
- 1:14:54that's a great question. So let's let's let's say starts with us in our
- 1:14:59the eight Connections we've made in the wrestling business for twenty something years. So
- 1:15:02we figure out who we want to make and then we actually have to approach
- 1:15:06them, approach them, sign them. And we don't do exclusive contracts.
- 1:15:11I want people to make as much money as they can sign with whatever other
- 1:15:15company want. I don't give a shit. The only exclusivity in our contracts
- 1:15:17that no one else can make a fully rubber figure of that style. No
- 1:15:23one else wouldn't happen so at the moment. So then you know, we
- 1:15:27kind of decide like what gear we want them to be and what look,
- 1:15:30and then we have ttd our artist who is incredible, and he he gives
- 1:15:35us We send him reference shots of things of what we'd like it to be,
- 1:15:41and then we go back and forth with him, and then we send
- 1:15:43it to Psycho d Freedom who corrects it, dissects it, it makes it
- 1:15:47even more perfect and accurate. And then we have to send it to a
- 1:15:51three D sculptor who makes it a three D sculpt of it, and then
- 1:15:55that gets sent to China where they make the prototype, the hand paid a
- 1:15:59proto type. They mail it to us. Then we review that because there's
- 1:16:02always something wrong with it. We send it the de freed and who dissects.
- 1:16:04That's never just like yep, thumbs up. It's always like this that
- 1:16:09yeah, it's and then once we have like once we approved the hand painted
- 1:16:13prototype, then it's it's pretty easy. You know. There's always like a
- 1:16:15snap through, like and packaging concept, packaging concepts sure, like you know,
- 1:16:19for instance, for power Con, we would have all we could have
- 1:16:23just in the same package. We wouldn't have all different exclusive packaging. I
- 1:16:27think it's fun that way, and we wanted these to be you know,
- 1:16:30we like to let him breathe. But we know there's a lot of men
- 1:16:30on card collectors. So that's why all our packaging is receialable, so you
- 1:16:34could take it out, take pictures of it, figure photography, and then
- 1:16:38put it back in the in the box if you wanted it. So,
- 1:16:40but it's a big team effort with connecting TTD really doing the hard work.
- 1:16:45I would say, yeah, it connects up at the crack of dawn,
- 1:16:48like in contact with China and like that. We had a fiasco the other
- 1:16:54day where he called them and screamed at them about something. So like he's
- 1:16:57the one who's really getting his you know, fingernails dirty, like doing all
- 1:17:00the hard work really Yeah, like the SDL figure that was made, like
- 1:17:03her face just kept looking off and off and off and off, and then
- 1:17:06eventually, like Connect yelled at the factory and like they did an investigation.
- 1:17:12They realized whoever was making the molds was letting air into the mold and it
- 1:17:15was like warping her face. Yeah, so it's just a lot goes into
- 1:17:18it, but you have to be like hands on twenty four seven or that's
- 1:17:24why a lot of these companies take so long. Like if you get an
- 1:17:26email from trying to get her spun right away, you know, you can't
- 1:17:29respond a couple of days, like it has to be done. And that's
- 1:17:31why we started this toy line. It's because we wanted to be our top
- 1:17:36priority. You know, Super seven is great, being with Ringside is great,
- 1:17:40but we're not their top priority, which is fine. I'm not expecting
- 1:17:43to be. Yeah, but the only way to guarantee that us and our
- 1:17:45figures are our top priority is we just do it ourselves. And even then
- 1:17:49it's still process. It takes time no matter what. Yeah, so that
- 1:17:53was a great question. Yeah, awesome, Ken Bruno says, well,
- 1:17:58we've got Life seventeen coming up, Guys, He says, who is the
- 1:18:00best guest for a live show that fell through? Fell through? Yeah,
- 1:18:06nobody, nobody bails on us. Maybe not bail, but I feel like
- 1:18:14there was somebody big we Christian once but then he like, oh yeah,
- 1:18:16he never agreed, he never agreed to do it. He agreed, but
- 1:18:19then didn't. I just would have been a prick anyway. I wonder if
- 1:18:21I could pull up the text, that's not even like I thought there was
- 1:18:30somebody in Dallas. Didn we have somebody big that was gonna do Dallas and
- 1:18:32then Undertaker? Yeah, Mark No showed that one. Yeah we had Undertaker
- 1:18:38and Dallas, guys, But I can't there was a lot of we don't
- 1:18:42know if they're going to be here. We were. I always love when
- 1:18:45people come and they have no clue what they're gonna into and then they have
- 1:18:48the best time ever. That's like my favorite thing. Let's turn this into
- 1:18:51a positive. What about people we didn't expect and they just showed up,
- 1:18:55Like Kevin Nash, My god, that was a whole collapse. We put
- 1:18:59him at the end. Well he's the main event, but we were like,
- 1:19:01if if he doesn't show up. If he doesn't show up, like
- 1:19:05we'll go to this segment or whatever. Yeah, we had plans and he
- 1:19:09did. Yeah, he just gave the front door shoes. Shoes can tell
- 1:19:12he's the best story. When he walked in here. Yeah, when he
- 1:19:15walked into the back. Yeah, I use these mics, so yeah,
- 1:19:18come on right up to the stage. That one's not to you. It's
- 1:19:23not going here, it's going to he's got a pipe. Guys, don't
- 1:19:26write him out. Shoes, what was it like, come come to my
- 1:19:30mic, shoes? What was it like when uh, big keV walked in
- 1:19:33backstage in Orlando, It's like seeing the face of God. Uh, We're
- 1:19:40all standing there, we're setting up for the show, putting merch together,
- 1:19:43the gift bags and all that, and all of a sudden, it's motherfucking
- 1:19:47diesel right through the front door. And you're just saying, that's fucking Kevin
- 1:19:53Nash. And now, I've been around Kevin Nash, like I was on
- 1:19:56the indies for a long time, so i've you know, I know who
- 1:19:59he is. I'm not in tim dated by Kevin Nash, but this is
- 1:20:00still Kevin fucking Nash in a major pot, like walking into this bar in
- 1:20:06Orlando with a line of major marks waiting to get in. Who are all
- 1:20:12going, that's fucking Diesel? And he just comes in. He goes,
- 1:20:17hey, where are you guys sitting me? They take him into this back
- 1:20:26hallway that hasn't been mopped in I don't know, thirty one years. It's
- 1:20:30the back of a restaurant. It's horrible. It is literally a hallway.
- 1:20:34And my man just sat down everyone in the back, every single one of
- 1:20:41us there, like bent the knee for fucking Diesel. Sir, if you
- 1:20:48want to say anything, we will listen to it. We will eat it
- 1:20:51up with a spoon. And that man just held court for like the entire
- 1:20:57night until it was time to go out, and he goes, all right,
- 1:21:00I guess I gotta go make my money now. And he just went
- 1:21:03and did Kevin Nash shit. Because when I was seventeen, I was like
- 1:21:08one of these guys like, oh, fuck Kevin Nash. He knows,
- 1:21:11he does his five moves. He sucks forty year old me. Kevin Nash
- 1:21:15is the fucking man. And all I want to do, all I want
- 1:21:17to do is hang out with that man. He is the best. He
- 1:21:20could club Baby Seals and I would be like, dude with Kevin Nash,
- 1:21:25you club those Baby Seals. You're the best. He's ridiculously charming. Yes,
- 1:21:29yeah, what a running hell un thanks we needed that. What use
