• 0:47
  hold on to your hats this week. We've got a very special holiday
• 0:50
  episode of the extra cooler show.

  My name is Nick, otherwise known as extra cooler and this week
• 0:56
  we've got Survivor Series team. We've got Matt Jim and Mike all

• 1:14
  show. Thanks to everybody that reached
• 1:16
  out wishing us a happy second birthday of this podcast.
• 1:20
  I think last week was a lot of fun breaking down.
• 1:22
  Vader's time in Boy, Meets World.
• 1:27
  I personally enjoyed it and Topanga, I love you.
• 1:33
  I think that's the only housekeeping I had from last
• 1:35
  week. Is that we needed to make sure
• 1:37
  that this hit Topanga's ears? And yes, send it.
• 1:40
  Send it to Jensen. I didn't do that yet, so I guess
• 1:44
  I should get on that. Yeah.
• 1:46
  All right, so for this week's episode, we've got a very
• 1:50
  special homework. It is prime time wrestling
• 1:53
  season 5, episode 52 from December 25th. 1989.
• 1:59
  Fine. We're going to talk about
• 2:01
  everything that happens in this episode.
• 2:03
  It's about an hour and a half long and it is, it is a real
• 2:08
  treat. It's obviously starring fur.
• 2:12
  Yes, stocking stuffer. For sure.
• 2:14
  I like that. So it's prime time we've ever
• 2:17
  covered. Yes.
• 2:18
  And I will admit like, especially in the late 80s.
• 2:22
  I did not watch Prime Time wrestling.
• 2:24
  I think I've watched more towards the end of Primetime
• 2:27
  Sam's run. Yeah, I think we were I was
• 2:29
  definitely. Definitely not in the 80s,
• 2:30
  forget about it, but even when we first started becoming fans,
• 2:34
  it was up. I was on past my bedtime.
• 2:37
  So I could always remember. It's starting and I'm like, Oh
• 2:39
  my tit like the Holy Grail of wrestling.
• 2:41
  Like, all right, I wish I could stay up to watch prime time.
• 2:44
  It looked so cool to like a young kids eyes and yeah,
• 2:48
  pretty. It is very cool.
• 2:49
  The prime time that we grew up with was not this said no no, no
• 2:56
  and this one but we had like the Roundtable.
• 2:59
  Yeah. CNN.
• 3:00
  Crossfire or something like that?
• 3:03
  Yeah, the only real memorable moment is with mr.
• 3:07
  Perfect. Right.
• 3:09
  Look. And they say yeah.
• 3:11
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah-yeah.
• 3:14
  So was it originally an 8:00 p.m. start?
• 3:16
  It had to have been. That was something I was going
• 3:18
  to bring up because trying to find I know any details.
• 3:23
  Yes, the Hem. The like early 90s.
• 3:26
  One's definitely were on it. 10:00 this had to have been Tom.
• 3:29
  Are you probably gonna text someone letting us know what
• 3:34
  time the show is on because they they reference the kids
• 3:38
  throughout this Christmas episode.
• 3:40
  So I mean come on Vince isn't that stupid thinking the kids
• 3:43
  are up at 10:00, right? That's what I kept thinking.
• 3:45
  And plus I think that I don't, I don't think there was crossover
• 3:48
  when they're on but Tuesday, night Titans was like, yeah, the
• 3:51
  later show because that was like, obviously doing the model
• 3:55
  of like, the Johnny Carson Show The Tonight Show and that kind
• 3:57
  of thing. Yep.
• 3:59
  All right. So let's Kick things off.
• 4:00
  The intro to prime time is a thing of beauty.
• 4:02
  In my opinion, it's heavy on the sax.
• 4:05
  It highlights all of the superstars on the roster,
• 4:08
  including your hosts Gorilla, Monsoon Bobby The Brain Heenan
• 4:13
  and over and a secondary Studio, hot rod, Rowdy Roddy Piper.
• 4:17
  It's such a setup. It's all decked out for the
• 4:21
  holidays. Once again, this is airing on
• 4:23
  Christmas night and it kicks off with Piper and he's letting us
• 4:29
  know. That Santa Claus is going to be
• 4:31
  on the show. Thanks to a bet from a previous
• 4:33
  week, turns out Santa Claus is none other than Heenan, you
• 4:39
  know, ten hyper sitting there, like, Sharon Stone in Basic
• 4:43
  Instinct skirt like you. Yes, yeah, yeah, they come guys,
• 4:49
  feel that father killed. Yeah, so he need comes, he gets
• 4:56
  lured out by Piper and he's all dressed up as Santa Claus.
• 5:00
  Santa Claus Santa Claus. Yes.
• 5:04
  Yeah I want to know, what is the origin of Santy Claus?
• 5:09
  Like who study that? I always laugh when I hear it.
• 5:11
  I love the honey. I agree.
• 5:12
  I like it. I never use it but I like it.
• 5:15
  I use it. I'll use it.
• 5:17
  Occasionally, I like it. So, the other thing that is big
• 5:22
  on this discard this night is there non-stop hyping up No
• 5:27
  Holds Barred the match the movie.
• 5:30
  Pay-per-view, which I'm sure like nobody gave two craps
• 5:33
  about. And so Piper Piper is goteng
• 5:39
  about getting Heenan into the holiday spirit and pay up.
• 5:44
  Because if he doesn't come out of Santa Claus, he owes Piper
• 5:47
  25,000 dollars. I believe is the amount, which
• 5:50
  is an absurd, bet to say the least so.
• 5:55
  Alright, we get our first match and this is where I don't really
• 5:59
  recommend. Collect a lot of Primetime
• 6:01
  wrestling because it's a lot of cutaways two different matches
• 6:04
  at different locations. In the first match, is the
• 6:06
  Intercontinental Champion. Yeah, which is cool, I thought.
• 6:10
  Yeah, I enjoyed that part. Absolutely.
• 6:12
  So, our first match is the Intercontinental Champion, The
• 6:15
  Ultimate Warrior facing off against Brian Costello and we've
• 6:19
  got Tony Shivani and Lord, Alfred Hayes calling the match.
• 6:24
  It's it's bizarre. I did not expect those to be
• 6:28
  calling our first match it. The only one that didn't
• 6:30
  remember Tony Shivani in WWE like WWF at the time very brief.
• 6:36
  I definitely don't. Yes, zero recollection of this
• 6:40
  whatsoever and I went like, a couple of the homeworks.
• 6:42
  We've done. Sorry, mac.
• 6:43
  Oh, I don't know. You're fine.
• 6:44
  And I was like, trying to think of that too, but his voice just
• 6:49
  makes you think of WCW. Alright, promotions.
• 6:53
  Like and then when I was like, half paying attention to the
• 6:56
  match because quite frankly, the matches in this Carter's harem
• 6:59
  Nothing worth writing home about but when I heard his voice, I
• 7:04
  like popped up out of nowhere like what's going on here?
• 7:07
  And I did a little deep died. So Shivani worked with Crockett
• 7:11
  promotions from 1983 to 1989. Then signed a one-year contract
• 7:15
  with WWF from April of 89 and left to go back to Crockett /
• 7:20
  WCW in 1990. So he was there for a year,
• 7:24
  makes sense because we came in in right US 91 you doing Warrior
• 7:29
  stuff a little But you just missed them, you know, I right,
• 7:32
  ya know. And at this point, I'd like it
• 7:34
  was super stars for me. It wasn't, it wasn't prime time.
• 7:37
  It wasn't Tuesday night Titans, like it was Saturday morning
• 7:40
  wrestling for me, even in my notes I have I wrote, we have
• 7:44
  Lord, Alfred Hayes and dot.is that Shivani, you know, because
• 7:48
  it doesn't. It sounds like him at times, but
• 7:50
  then it also does it. Yeah.
• 7:52
  I mean, he's obviously considerably younger at the
• 7:54
  time. He did not perfect his stick yet
• 7:56
  for sure. No, no.
• 7:58
  So this match is Pretty terrible.
• 8:00
  It's your typical Warrior no self pour the olive 0 cell.
• 8:06
  Say the same thing, it's beyond no cell.
• 8:08
  Like we're just running around the ring looking for your this,
• 8:11
  the ring skirt. And this pork jobber is just
• 8:14
  bashing him over the back and yeah, it doesn't even Flinch.
• 8:17
  Yeah, like, no, not even there. He doesn't think not even
• 8:20
  doesn't feel like it's not fair. It's like he's always like he's
• 8:23
  has that disease where you don't feel like you could put your
• 8:25
  hand on a burning stove and you and he and that's Warrior for
• 8:29
  you. The Highlight is the inset promo
• 8:34
  from earthquake and Dino Bravo and Dino's bouncing with
• 8:39
  earthquake, which is one of our favorites.
• 8:41
  The ethnic 18 quick. Yeah, I don't you, I like this
• 8:45
  because they've this is perfect for Christmas time because they
• 8:47
  have a strong Christmas Story Vibe of Scott Farkas and Grover
• 8:52
  Dill movie like it's you know them only a little Toady that
• 8:56
  hangs out. Yes, Dino Bravo.
• 8:58
  Such a toady Oh, you've watched like Santa Claus 56 or something
• 9:08
  like that. Alan Mark over there.
• 9:16
  So we get a, this match is one minute and 34 seconds, we get a
• 9:19
  gorilla, press slam from Warrior and as Splash what a what, a
• 9:23
  great finisher right there, he's backed into.
• 9:26
  Yeah, awful knees on them like Defend Warrior here is
• 9:33
  indefensible in this match. I think he's like, I agree.
• 9:35
  So sleazy, it's like just like not wrestling.
• 9:39
  I disgust me. It's not about the in ring that
• 9:44
  all at all. 100%. And yes looking at it through an
• 9:48
  adult lens and like, looking back at the batch yet,
• 9:51
  inexcusable this Warrior is tacky this.
• 9:53
  Yeah, he might be the worst in-ring performer of like, a big
• 9:58
  name guy. Why ever ever.
• 10:01
  Oh man. That sounds like a homework
• 10:03
  question. Yeah, for credit question.
• 10:06
  Yeah, reverse, you know, right? Mount Rushmore writes down.
• 10:10
  Worst, big name. Where's my pen?
• 10:13
  All right ready. So on this match is over and it
• 10:16
  cuts back to the studio and Piper wants brain to do his best
• 10:19
  Santa and send them a message to the kids.
• 10:22
  Piper is like really egging them on at this point and and getting
• 10:26
  a kick out of it as well from the other Studio.
• 10:30
  He's laughing at everything. We come back from commercial and
• 10:34
  I thought this was really bizarre and maybe it's my sick
• 10:37
  and twisted mind but gorilla tells brain.
• 10:40
  He's got something right under the counter for him and he's
• 10:42
  gonna give it to him later. It's like whoa gorilla hold on
• 10:47
  big fella. Girls got a moment like that
• 10:49
  later, too. I guess.
• 10:50
  Yeah, a gorilla I you know, I really studied his eyes and this
• 10:57
  one like my. Yeah.
• 10:58
  I was wondering about the tinted glasses.
• 10:59
  Which I love very baller. But if you look closely, his
• 11:03
  eyes look like moldy cabbages or something.
• 11:05
  I didn't think. I think that's where he tensed,
• 11:08
  why wears like a gorilla, he's like, if he were a muppet, he
• 11:13
  would be dr. Bunsen Honeydew with no eyes
• 11:16
  Under the glasses. Good.
• 11:18
  I know. That's gotta be prescription as
• 11:23
  well. Uh-huh, totally Gym style like
• 11:27
  walking down the street with those glasses on.
• 11:29
  Sometimes they were, I turned 50.
• 11:31
  Now 45, I'm going. Yeah, the old man glass gorilla
• 11:34
  also has the best way I've said this before on this show but
• 11:37
  gorilla has the best jackets all time anyway so we get an update
• 11:44
  courtesy of WWF, the magazine from Mean Gene.
• 11:48
  And he lets us know that this coming Wednesday, the no whole
• 11:51
  bars pay-per-view will take place.
• 11:53
  Featuring a tag team match inside a steel cage between the
• 11:57
  team of Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake.
• 12:00
  And Randy Savage and Zeus and they highlight Survivor Series
• 12:05
  courtesy of Coliseum video of course where Zeus is, you know,
• 12:10
  just choking out Hogan gets disqualified tosses the the
• 12:16
  referendum and then then this is the highlight of the episode,
• 12:22
  right? It's like head walking on Zeus.
• 12:25
  He can't get him off. Yeah, can't get him off, so we
• 12:29
  We get a promo from the heels from Macho and Zeus and Sherry
• 12:35
  and they are backstage right there.
• 12:38
  Standing behind one wall of the blue steel wall.
• 12:43
  And my first question about this is right there backstage with
• 12:46
  the thing. Are there like two guys on the
• 12:48
  end of it? Holding it up or is Zeus first?
• 12:52
  I was like, oh, maybe Zeus and Macho, or just holding up, but
• 12:55
  then during the promo, Sherry goes to like climb the cage but
• 12:58
  like can't. Get over it the way she wanted
• 13:01
  to and like, has to come around through the front.
• 13:03
  It's real strange. What's so bizarre?
• 13:05
  Is that like Sherry? So first of all, it's Macho King
• 13:09
  and Sensational Queen Sherri right here, which makes a big
• 13:13
  difference if you ask me. So Sheree starts climbing the
• 13:15
  cage. Like Nick said, she gets all the
• 13:17
  way to the top but the way that it's shot, her feet are still
• 13:20
  shown at the very top of the screen and then you see her kind
• 13:24
  of like Shuffle off to the side and then you obviously assume
• 13:28
  that she's jumping down and then She rolls around the back and
• 13:31
  you see her hunched over, like, trying to sneak behind the other
• 13:35
  two guys and see her in the shot again.
• 13:37
  But then she passes all the way around and she comes to the
• 13:40
  front of the cage to end the promo.
• 13:43
  It is so bizarre, just watching her actions during this time,
• 13:47
  but this is some of the best like late 80s, early 90s yell
• 13:54
  into the camera. Promo from WWF Macho Macho gets
• 13:59
  a lot of love. Like, especially from us for
• 14:02
  like the the post Macho King post WrestleMania 7 Macho, but
• 14:07
  Macho King is incredible. If you ask me I think he's like,
• 14:12
  bought into the gimmick so much. He's got Sherry by his side and
• 14:16
  I can't help, but every time I listen to him, I think of Dan
• 14:19
  Soder because they on Sodor, does the best Macho impression
• 14:23
  out there? There's there's nobody that
• 14:24
  holds a candle to him. We did pull the clip, right?
• 14:28
  Everybody's gotta listen to it. We have the end of the clip.
• 14:30
  It's about 40 seconds long, but it's totally worth it.
• 14:33
  And I think, can we talk about the loogie before we play the
• 14:36
  clip? Because it happens in the middle
• 14:39
  of this clip? Zeus starts talking.
• 14:42
  And he says that he's gonna destroy destroy, Hulk Hogan and
• 14:48
  he Hawk this major. Yeah, Mike.
• 14:51
  What you call it, you had the perfect up.
• 14:53
  LOL. Just flops onto the blue cage.
• 14:56
  And he like half sucks it up like, half still states on the
• 15:00
  cage. It's absolutely ridiculous.
• 15:02
  Go like YouTube. Find this find this clip.
• 15:05
  It is absolutely ridiculous. You got the Owen Hart, little
• 15:10
  white crust on his face was like bad.
• 15:12
  Wow, this is just, it's almost hard to watch Glory.
• 15:16
  He does like, you know, like big daddy in the movie with the
• 15:20
  ketchup. Packets Pleasant trip down.
• 15:22
  Sucks it back up. That's like what I thought.
• 15:24
  I would Zeus pulling that thing back.
• 15:26
  Good. It happens in a split second
• 15:28
  like it was not planned like it just happened and next thing you
• 15:33
  know he's like a fucking it back in but let's let's play the clip
• 15:37
  and when he says destroy just picture in your mind's like a
• 15:40
  big ol, loogie hitting the blue bars of the big steel cage.
• 15:44
  It's very It's such a like improv Moment,
• 16:27
  Like, Sheree is like just falling down and she like
• 16:31
  earlier, she's doing like interpretive dance moves and it
• 16:34
  in this. She's like, falling down and
• 16:36
  burning hell kogami. Like she says his name, as if
• 16:39
  it's one word, like a snake that the flute stops playing perfect.
• 16:49
  They're all like talking at the same time at the end.
• 16:51
  Kind of like we do on this podcast.
• 16:54
  Pure chaos, just saw such screaming, they all look like
• 16:58
  they're gonna have like a brain aneurysm any sickens like whole
• 17:01
  bodies are tight. Zeus.
• 17:02
  Looks like he's got it. The most together out of the
• 17:04
  three of them during a 10-day. Wow that's the first time
• 17:07
  someone's ever said that he has the most together.
• 17:12
  Rest in peace. Zeus actually all three of them
• 17:15
  you know three You to and yeah, right.
• 17:21
  Bummer. All right, let's head back to
• 17:23
  the studio. As Heenan is singing Jingle
• 17:26
  Bells and gives gorilla, another present.
• 17:29
  So wait, one second though. Yeah.
• 17:31
  They transition out of this chaos complete chaos promo where
• 17:35
  they're screaming Hulk Hogan and no-holds-barred over and over
• 17:39
  and over again and it the transition is to Heenan or is it
• 17:44
  Piper or Heenan singing Jingle Bells?
• 17:45
  Like yeah so strange like it wasn't there.
• 17:48
  Let's segue. Way.
• 17:49
  Yeah, the go from like the He-man villains to like a nice
• 17:52
  little. Yeah.
• 17:54
  So at this point Piper is is praising Heenan.
• 17:59
  Give him credit for being a good sport.
• 18:00
  He's letting brain know he's, he's doing good for the kids and
• 18:04
  he's gonna get off his case and Piper is like definitely trying
• 18:08
  his chops at at acting in this episode.
• 18:11
  He's very like it's very serious throughout it mr.
• 18:15
  Brain, I think you're great. He said, My favorite is easy.
• 18:20
  He says that it's he's like mr. Brain, I Think You're great and
• 18:23
  brain fires back and you have a kilt is calling it a skirt that
• 18:32
  I know. I know.
• 18:34
  I just thought that line was fantastic.
• 18:36
  He said, oh, so so we're gonna head to commercial.
• 18:42
  But while they had to commercial, we're going to talk
• 18:44
  about what's in, everybody's cooler for the special episode,
• 18:48
  the extra cooler show. And what's in the cooler is
• 18:50
  brought to you by Sloop Brewing Company.
• 18:52
  Sloop is known for their hazy and golden ipas like juice bomb
• 18:55
  and Supersoft be on the lookout for more coming from the extra
• 18:59
  cooler show and our favorite Brewery Sloop.
• 19:02
  Jim I ripped you off from last week and I brought some eggnog
• 19:06
  but with some bourbon so cheers. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas.
• 19:12
  And who's up next? I made a trip last week to one
• 19:19
  of the best and one of the first like big Northeastern IPA and
• 19:25
  cipa. As we as we affectionately call
• 19:28
  them here, Treehouse Brewing Company up in Massachusetts.
• 19:32
  It's about 2 to 15 to 20 for me, but it's well worth the trip.
• 19:37
  I went up there. I wound up getting a full case
• 19:41
  of just kind of their Heavy Hitters there.
• 19:43
  There big names, the Julius, the Hayes the green stuff like that
• 19:48
  and then I wound up getting a four pack of their like holiday
• 19:52
  beers. So they did a I'm dreaming of a
• 19:56
  hazy Christmas which they described and they do a really
• 19:59
  good job the artwork on these four cans.
• 20:02
  Almost feels like watercolor. Like it's a really cool like
• 20:07
  Christmas scene, barn and a tree and it looks really awesome but
• 20:12
  they have a QR code on the back of the can and if You scan it,
• 20:16
  it goes to just the dedicated page for the beer itself, it
• 20:20
  gives credit to the artist which is really cool.
• 20:22
  They give you a full description of the beer, the style, the ABV.
• 20:25
  So it's a double American IPA, it's a 7.9 percent irr but I
• 20:31
  thought it's got a really interesting flavor to it and it
• 20:35
  calls it, a juicy American hops. Dried dried chrysanthemum
• 20:40
  flowers, which I actually did pretty well on that word.
• 20:43
  Yes, but a butcher. Yeah, honey, malt.
• 20:45
  Wildflower honey. It's got the sweetness to it
• 20:48
  that I'm really enjoying it. Kind of levels out the The Hop
• 20:53
  taste. But this this Brewery is just
• 20:55
  tremendous. So, cheers fall.
• 20:57
  Where is it? Where is it one more time?
• 20:58
  Locate is in its in Massachusetts.
• 21:02
  I'm trying to remember the exact it's in Charlton, Massachusetts.
• 21:06
  So, it's literally right off of 84 and you're off of 84 for like
• 21:11
  maybe five minutes and then you just get to the brewery and then
• 21:15
  I live in New York. I live about three minutes away
• 21:17
  from 84, so that's like six turns to get there, right?
• 21:21
  It's just two and a half hours. Mike, would you bring?
• 21:25
  Well I brought a false Summit Mountain lager and this is from
• 21:35
  West kill Brewing Company in West kill, New York, that's in
• 21:38
  the Catskills. That's what about like a little
• 21:42
  Northwest of Woodstock, I believe, got you.
• 21:45
  Yep. And it's a 5.8% lager.
• 21:49
  It's a little, it's nice. Got a little sweetness to it and
• 21:55
  it's got some size hops in it and it's really good.
• 22:01
  Actually, my wife got me. This beer, she went to Cold
• 22:06
  Spring last weekend, and she wants to like some Market to
• 22:13
  pick up beer for me and behind her.
• 22:17
  Also not behinds in front of her.
• 22:19
  In line is an actor named Michael Emerson who is also
• 22:25
  known as I Ben Linus from Lost. And right yeah student gets a
• 22:31
  talk to him know, he's like bounce real quick.
• 22:35
  I want to talk about the hatch or anything.
• 22:36
  That's awesome. Considering my son is named
• 22:42
  after the dog from that show is a good opening just a little
• 22:48
  disappointed but she she at least got me this beer and it's
• 22:51
  it's quite good Coleman. I have to find out where and
• 22:54
  Cole spring, this little market is that they sell beer at so
• 22:57
  I'll hit up your wife later and find out where she went.
• 23:00
  I'm about 15 minutes from Cold Springs.
• 23:02
  So yeah, it's a, it's a cool Little River.
• 23:05
  Out, if anybody's ever up in the East County, New York area, nice
• 23:08
  place. Before I get to my what's in the
• 23:11
  cooler, I want to talk quick little story about what I had
• 23:14
  for dinner tonight. I had a garbage plate from a
• 23:17
  garbage plate place as you do in Rochester, New York.
• 23:20
  I'll be doing the Portside heaters after the show it, but
• 23:24
  yeah, go ahead and the burps that are yes, honorably smell
• 23:27
  ferrite. I can feel it already.
• 23:30
  Anyway, while we were there, the guy who's making the food is
• 23:34
  Phone goes off and had a ringer and it hit.
• 23:37
  This ringer is a wrestling thing and it's on the butt, Rock Mount
• 23:42
  Rushmore. So, which who is it?
• 23:44
  What do you think? What do you think?
• 23:45
  Really cool man. Batista is always my butt Rock
• 23:48
  Hall knows. I have awesome guy.
• 23:56
  Looked like it was anyway. So I've got Young Line Brewing
• 24:05
  Company, they're out of Canandaigua, New York, that's in
• 24:08
  the Finger Lakes. This is one's called the on a
• 24:11
  PC. That's got Bill Zubaz and it's
• 24:14
  actually called, you know, hey helis.
• 24:16
  So that's pretty good. Especially have to beat the
• 24:19
  Dolphins the other day. There's drinking out of the Josh
• 24:22
  Allen and Pop-Pop glass. Nick is looking on very not a
• 24:26
  mountain. So the the Miami Dolphins have
• 24:30
  lost to the 49ers and the bills this year.
• 24:32
  So did they play the Colts? No, no, it's probably a good for
• 24:36
  the one anyways, I don't know if anybody else got any questions.
• 24:42
  All right, let's get back to the action because we've got a very
• 24:46
  exciting match. None.
• 24:48
  Other than Tito Santana, verts bad news Brown were joined in
• 24:51
  progress. This matches from an older show
• 24:54
  taking place at Madison Square Garden and we've got Gorilla
• 24:57
  Monsoon and Such catch. Who else is it?
• 25:00
  Billy Graham. No, I think it's Hillbilly Jim.
• 25:03
  No, way reaction. Yes, is what I read and this
• 25:07
  match sucks. It goes about 15-20 minutes.
• 25:11
  Luckily we only have to see about five minutes of it and it
• 25:14
  ends in a double count-out and can we move right on?
• 25:17
  But my I'm stirring this. Yes, thank God.
• 25:21
  We didn't have to see the 15-20 minutes of it.
• 25:24
  My notes, my notes for this were Tito Santana and bad news Brown
• 25:28
  from Ms, G. Count out and that's it.
• 25:30
  There's no other notes. That all was not much to say.
• 25:33
  Nope. All right, so next up back to
• 25:36
  the studio, which if you haven't caught on my now, these are the
• 25:38
  real highlights of this episode Bobby still dressed as as Santa
• 25:44
  and he starts acting like himself and he's out of nowhere.
• 25:46
  Claiming that Santa's fake and it's the parents buying all the
• 25:50
  presents and he's telling it like it is and Piper is is not
• 25:57
  feeling it man. He's boiling over.
• 25:59
  He's not happy. He's getting emotional and he's
• 26:01
  very serious. Bobby, Bobby Bobby Bobby Bob.
• 26:05
  Kebab stop. Stop!
• 26:09
  It's the and he's like looking dead into the camera mind you.
• 26:12
  He's at a different Studio. Oh yeah, I am as uncomfortable
• 26:18
  watching this as I am watching The Ultimate.
• 26:21
  Warrior being shoved into a casket.
• 26:23
  That's the level of discomfort I am in while watching this whole
• 26:28
  thing. I was like speechless man, like
• 26:32
  just sitting there, like, what is Nick?
• 26:34
  Forcing me to watch right now, the way nothing worse than,
• 26:38
  cause you pain that believes in Santa or what do you mean?
• 26:42
  Well, no, I mean, there's nothing worse than that kid.
• 26:48
  That spoils it for everybody or tries to rest.
• 26:51
  Don't remember the name of the girl and third grade that did it
• 26:54
  to me if your kid. If your child, does that to
• 26:56
  another child. You have failed as a parent
• 26:58
  agreed. Agreed.
• 27:00
  It's a kindergartener. Do it last year to a
• 27:02
  Kindergarten class wanted to throw her to the principal's
• 27:05
  office swirl? Yes seriously.
• 27:08
  Kim, the turd in the toilet. Can we listen to it because I
• 27:11
  have it? Yes.
• 27:11
  Yes, please, I'm in a red suit came down here to check.
• 27:19
  Mom. And Dad are the ones with the
• 27:21
  cash and the Gators. That's what you should think
• 27:24
  about it. That's enough.
• 27:29
  I tell you the truth. I got kids and Christmas is the
• 27:32
  most wonderful time of the year and that's kind of keep the
• 27:35
  Christmas tree fall. Keep your mouth shut.
• 27:37
  Would you say oh and another thing kids Santa can't drink,
• 27:42
  milk it. Good.
• 27:44
  All over his phony, beard, knock it off.
• 28:02
  Is it snowing? Yeah, yeah.
• 28:05
  They then proceeded to tell Santa is a sham.
• 28:07
  The guys a discount store worker just out of detox.
• 28:11
  Like oh God then he does all the classic like sounds like a
• 28:15
  criminal with with an alias and your questions.
• 28:19
  How anybody can believe that reindeer?
• 28:21
  Fly Piper man. You see thing right now?
• 28:26
  Yeah we say he's wanted in three states with his.
• 28:28
  Yeah, for name's. Risk, and then he gets like
• 28:32
  weird, like classic like he'll manager.
• 28:34
  And he's like, the Heenan family is what you should believe in.
• 28:38
  It's like what you had me, you had me Heenan, and then you had
• 28:41
  to throw that in there somehow. I love how serious Piper gets,
• 28:45
  and he's like, oh, it's so good. I think, I think this has gone
• 28:49
  far enough. There is a Santy Claus and he
• 28:52
  wrecked gifts, under my tree this morning, like me so fired
• 28:56
  up because I and I'm relating to him in this moment too.
• 29:00
  Like yeah Piper get them Piper. Yeah hell yeah.
• 29:04
  Alright so our next action is the Bolsheviks versus WT Jones
• 29:09
  and Todd Becker. We're back with ya and with
• 29:12
  Shivani and Alfred calling the action and we've got the Russian
• 29:18
  Anthem that gets song of course. And my favorite part is Becker
• 29:22
  and Jones like get in front of them and start dancing during
• 29:25
  this it's really strange. I never never thought anybody
• 29:29
  would dance. Us to the Russian Anthem but
• 29:32
  here we are just like, okay yeah, you stink anyways, I get
• 29:36
  whooped for their troubles. I'm glad you get ya go.
• 29:40
  What's funny is that they put the image up on the screen like
• 29:43
  going into break and it says WT Jones and Todd.
• 29:45
  Becker is who they're going to be facing and then they come
• 29:48
  back and the announcer of now, Oz Jones and then Perry is the
• 29:54
  other guy. So, yeah, some say yeah, yeah,
• 29:57
  whatever. Whatever gets smashed.
• 29:59
  It's all right. Did you WT Jones was that white
• 30:02
  trash Jones? Like you've got it all.
• 30:04
  Did you catch Nikolai volkoff with the worst spinning kick?
• 30:08
  I've ever seen? No, I did not.
• 30:10
  Oh God. I thought I think it's in the
• 30:12
  beginning. The very beginning.
• 30:13
  I know I I caught it out of the corner of my eye in the very
• 30:17
  beginning. It's not good hugest ass, it's
• 30:24
  ridiculous bigger than Rene Dupree.
• 30:26
  Yeah, run Jack. Is he here?
• 30:33
  Hayes back on the microphone though.
• 30:34
  I'm like, oh my God, more Alfred Hayes.
• 30:36
  I'm always into that. Yeah, yeah, actually, I knew
• 30:38
  someone in college who literally was growing his hair out so he
• 30:44
  could dress as Lord, Alfred Hayes for Halloween, which to
• 30:48
  me, sounds like the most insane thing I've ever heard of like,
• 30:51
  weaning, Crone your hair like Lord Alfred Hayes.
• 31:00
  Yeah, but, but that guy's under, like house-arrest ankle
• 31:06
  bracelets at all. Checks out.
• 31:12
  What a roller coaster of a story, man?
• 31:14
  Yeah. All right.
• 31:14
  Cool. This guy's good.
• 31:16
  Nope. Completely insane person.
• 31:19
  Yeah. Lunatic.
• 31:21
  Do you, did you catch the the promo from The Bushwhackers?
• 31:27
  That is not jobber bushwhack. Well yeah.
• 31:30
  Well do you remember? Wait, do you remember them
• 31:32
  feuding with the Bolsheviks? Mmm.
• 31:34
  No. Yeah.
• 31:35
  That's because they're jobbers plate on that one.
• 31:41
  They are all cats. Hey, that is all four of them
• 31:46
  jobbers Nikolai volkoff is the best out of the bunch because he
• 31:49
  was, I don't like all these rock that I was trapped.
• 31:51
  Like that. All right, let's get back to
• 31:56
  Piper. And he He's entered the main
• 31:58
  studio and he's about to get up in Santa's face and and Heenan
• 32:04
  threatens, if Piper hits him and Piper will be suspended from
• 32:07
  hosting Prime Time wrestling. I love how I never realized this
• 32:12
  was a piper line. Yeah, but who's your pulls out
• 32:15
  the what exactly is your malfunction?
• 32:18
  He uses that like years later and we definitely talked about
• 32:21
  in the episode where we cover Gold Dust verse Roddy, Piper and
• 32:25
  uses it a little different. But What exactly is your
• 32:28
  malfunction, Heenan? Calmly gets up and continues,
• 32:31
  thrashing. Santa Claus and this is when
• 32:34
  Piper clotheslines, he didn't beat the crap out of him and
• 32:38
  monsoons. Trying really hard rod, rod, rod
• 32:43
  rod, hot rod liking just trying to get him to calm down.
• 32:48
  So I understand where you're coming from, but you can't do
• 32:50
  that Rod. All right, so another commercial
• 32:55
  break and we come back and Piper's trying to Plain his
• 32:57
  passion for his actions. This, this like Matt before I
• 33:01
  could get behind. I like, you know, yeah, it's got
• 33:04
  this guy loves Christmas. And he's talking about, he has
• 33:08
  children and he knows what it means to not have toys and have
• 33:11
  had toys. So he's like, being very honest,
• 33:14
  I think. And yeah, I like that.
• 33:15
  He's he says, he says something exactly.
• 33:18
  What is about Santa Claus. It's like Santa Claus.
• 33:20
  Santa Claus is what you make of Santa Claus or something like
• 33:23
  that. Yes, which is perfect.
• 33:24
  I think because I love the idea of like never Like admitting
• 33:28
  it's fake vehicle. Hell yeah, never man.
• 33:30
  Like, it's Santa Claus, is the those gifts were given to you
• 33:33
  by. Someone who loves you a whole
• 33:35
  lot. Like yeah, it's a really good
• 33:39
  pick me up after yes. Heenan being the complete heal
• 33:43
  that he's being, but I love that Piper is saying all of these
• 33:46
  things. With either the wig or the beard
• 33:49
  in his left hand, like he's just holding onto that thing.
• 33:52
  Like that's what's keeping him from completely snapping and
• 33:55
  tearing apart the entire Studio. His him just gripping onto that.
• 34:01
  Oh, here's the line. I'm sorry.
• 34:02
  It's as long as I'm around the world, remain a Santa Claus.
• 34:05
  He said, feel like we've got to put a warning on this episode.
• 34:12
  Yes. Seriously explicit contact Santa
• 34:15
  Claus next matchup. We've got Richard, sharland
• 34:19
  versus my first pick in the job or draft, Barry Horowitz.
• 34:23
  And again we're joined in progress and this is from the
• 34:27
  Belief Garden in Toronto. Monsoon and Lord, Alfred Hayes
• 34:32
  are calling the action. And it's, you know, another job
• 34:36
  errific type match, but Horowitz really works the crowd as a heel
• 34:39
  during the. Yeah, I thought it was really
• 34:42
  interesting that they called him a up-and-comer.
• 34:46
  Yes, up-and-comer. Yeah.
• 34:48
  Called Barry Horowitz. And I'm like, oh, cool Horowitz.
• 34:50
  I didn't realize he started out getting minions and get W.
• 34:53
  Yeah. And then this match goes on for
• 34:56
  freaking ever. /. And then my only notes for this
• 34:59
  match worth this match feels like it's going on forever and
• 35:03
  harlots loses. Their just dog in the other guy
• 35:06
  the whole time. Yeah.
• 35:08
  Who's gonna win with a headlock? Yeah, with side headlock side
• 35:11
  headlock. It's Charlotte has the power in
• 35:14
  that body. Why doesn't he use it?
• 35:17
  Lord, Alfred Hayes is like, Wong's in Hogwarts or something.
• 35:20
  Yeah, I do. Or is it just me?
• 35:22
  Stereotypic know, I know the perfect 10 points for
• 35:26
  Gryffindor. Or some shit.
• 35:27
  Yeah, that's why. I had Nick can do the
• 35:30
  impression. So, well in the intricacies that
• 35:33
  household watches a lot of Harry Potter.
• 35:35
  Yeah, my children Hayes. You're like this.
• 35:39
  Next up. We've got Sean, Mooney and
• 35:41
  dating. That one real quick Event
• 35:42
  Center, and we've got pre-recorded comments from Rick
• 35:46
  Rude. The man of the 90s, because days
• 35:50
  before the ninth, yeah, days before and it's him with Heenan
• 35:54
  and and they have issues with right?
• 35:57
  D Piper, and that kind of, like, it's crazy because it takes you
• 36:01
  half way through this episode, and I didn't realize that Piper
• 36:05
  and Rick Rude were feuding together, right?
• 36:08
  I don't know if anybody else picked.
• 36:09
  I didn't pick up on it until this promo.
• 36:12
  And really, I don't think that Feud ever had a blow-off.
• 36:15
  I don't know what happened, but I'm pretty sure Piper and rude.
• 36:19
  Never had a true blue because I think at the rumble and 1990
• 36:25
  Rumble Piper, That starts feuding with bad news Brown.
• 36:30
  Exactly. Right.
• 36:32
  So they point the infamous WrestleMania 6 paint job that he
• 36:36
  has. Yes, it's not is right around
• 36:38
  the corner to so, yeah, wonder what happened to that Feud?
• 36:40
  Maybe did root get hurt or something, or does he go into
• 36:42
  the program with a warrior? But that doesn't really kick off
• 36:46
  till SummerSlam right now. Yeah, yeah.
• 36:49
  I don't know. Next up, we get promo from
• 36:52
  Hercules who sucks and even the face and he sucks even more as a
• 36:57
  face. Ha ha ha like always I do, I
• 37:00
  knew of Hercules as a face. I knew he was a face at one
• 37:03
  point but I never really dabbled in Hercules, as a face.
• 37:07
  And why, why was he ever billed as a face?
• 37:10
  He looks like he's like allergic to wasps and he got stung by
• 37:13
  them like two days ago, and he's like, still all swollen.
• 37:18
  He's just coming down, he's just bloated and nasty.
• 37:21
  That's terrible. And the worst part about it is,
• 37:23
  we have to see him in action later.
• 37:27
  And Charlene, where the hell, the guy?
• 37:29
  Yeah, glass of eggnog is gonna make him bad Hercules.
• 37:34
  Why is this place so dark? The highlights of this event for
• 37:39
  me are Macho, Zeus, and Sherry, Piper and henan back and forth.
• 37:44
  And then what we're about to see, which is a mr.
• 37:47
  Perfect promo. He's at the golf course.
• 37:50
  With his manager, the genius who were also going to see later and
• 37:55
  they are talking about taking down, Hulk Hogan and The how
• 37:58
  they're going to become the next WWF Champion and let me just
• 38:02
  paint this visual for you, right.
• 38:03
  We're at there at the golf course.
• 38:05
  Mr. Perfect. He's got his popped collar.
• 38:08
  He's got a shirt tucked in. He's Golf Course appropriate.
• 38:11
  That with the dress attire and then you've got the genius over
• 38:15
  there and he's in his light blue cap and gown that this guy like
• 38:20
  holds onto it for dear life and then, out of nowhere, mr.
• 38:24
  Perfect's music hits and we get like in slow-mo Ingenious is
• 38:28
  teen the ball up for mr. Perfect.
• 38:32
  Perfect. Takes his swing his, the ball.
• 38:34
  Right down the middle, and genius is starts jumping up and
• 38:37
  down and he's clapping his hands.
• 38:40
  Like like a cheerleader. It's so strange to me and
• 38:44
  perfect looks at the camera perfect.
• 38:47
  Every time, can you set up a, some sort of image with like
• 38:52
  just the shot of like the perfect legs and like the kind
• 38:55
  of like yeah. Yeah.
• 38:57
  E and then hit genius. Teeing it up between, you know,
• 39:01
  it's like the greatest shot. Genius does a backflip.
• 39:15
  Yes and said and he points to the camera and he says, and Hulk
• 39:18
  Hogan, and then perfect slaps, his gum up out of his hand and
• 39:22
  follows up with, you can't do that.
• 39:25
  It's like, it's so Great. It's amazing.
• 39:29
  Great as everyone else on the show is I think this might be my
• 39:32
  favorite bit in the hole. Yes.
• 39:33
  Agreed. The belly early mullet is
• 39:36
  beautiful The Scholar screams extra in 2004 beautiful.
• 39:43
  I just saw something. This promo made me think of
• 39:45
  something as well like that I hadn't thought of earlier, which
• 39:48
  is kind of strange to consider how much old wrestling we watch.
• 39:51
  But so Lanny poffo the genius loves the graduation gear,
• 39:57
  right? The Up and down and stuff.
• 39:58
  Right is brother. Macho man comes down to the
• 40:02
  graduation music. What is up with his family?
• 40:05
  Yeah. Pomp and Circumstance what my
• 40:08
  they love it. I think obsessed.
• 40:09
  Nobody likes graduations. They're like oh no with it, like
• 40:13
  know. It's so weird that there's a
• 40:14
  weird thing to me that I never thought of.
• 40:16
  I'm surprised never clicked in my head.
• 40:18
  It's a weird Feud to perfect and and Hogan they never had a blow
• 40:22
  off to that Feud they and when I really like fought, like they're
• 40:26
  like the last guys and some bath.
• 40:27
  Cyril. Yeah.
• 40:28
  Like that. Yeah, yeah.
• 40:29
  Survivor Series. I think right?
• 40:31
  Yeah. I couldn't remember which one it
• 40:32
  was. But anyway, onto another.
• 40:35
  Another really ridiculously. You want to talk about a long
• 40:38
  match. Your we've got Brett who gets
• 40:42
  his like trial run as a singles. Competitor versus Greg that Bret
• 40:46
  Hart versus Greg, The Hammer Valentine with Jimmy Hart.
• 40:51
  Here's this one a lot of Hearts going on here.
• 40:53
  Yes. Heart Valentine Jimmy Hart.
• 40:56
  Yeah, starts going on. So, we're coming to you from the
• 40:59
  Meadowlands Arena and Meadowlands New Jersey and we've
• 41:02
  got Tony Shivani and Lord, Alfred Hayes calling the action.
• 41:06
  And this has to be like one of the first times that Brett wears
• 41:10
  those glasses because they're making a big deal out of the
• 41:13
  glasses. Yeah, man.
• 41:14
  See, Shades hands off to the to the kid in the aisle.
• 41:18
  There these are the silver ones before they turn pink.
• 41:20
  Yes. Like the silver ones best.
• 41:22
  Yeah I do too. I agree.
• 41:24
  I agree. But yeah they made the
• 41:26
  announcers. Make a huge deal.
• 41:27
  Out of it. It's certainly like the
• 41:29
  beginning of Bret Hart for sure. But then no.
• 41:32
  But because he gets like pulled, right, he gets like this trial
• 41:36
  run and then he gets thrown back into the Tag Team with end.
• 41:40
  They, they win the tag titles right?
• 41:42
  SummerSlam against the three demolitions, right?
• 41:45
  It's like, it's like sounds like a classic early going Vince
• 41:48
  being like Anna. Yeah, I got it.
• 41:51
  I think so. Yeah.
• 41:52
  Pull the plug on it. Yeah.
• 41:53
  Trial run is the perfect way to describe it.
• 41:55
  Yeah, we Need a we need a true stat boy to break down and give
• 42:01
  me the exact number of times. We've covered a Bret Hart match
• 42:04
  by the way because that this has to be, I'm gonna go out on a
• 42:08
  limb and say this is number 16 and I'm not talking and I'm not
• 42:12
  talking, Brett matches being the Highlight because we've covered
• 42:16
  ones where he's like, got a match on Superstars here and
• 42:19
  there, like during those Warrior episodes on this, he's on there.
• 42:24
  I'm going to say it's definitely double digits, and I would say
• 42:27
  it's over. Dean, definitely not a, he's
• 42:29
  definitely number one no easily easily.
• 42:32
  So I have a running list of all of the shows and I've like yes
• 42:37
  names on there. That's how I tallied like Mount
• 42:39
  Rushmore for the first year episode.
• 42:42
  Yeah, I kind of half-assed it for year 2 so I have it.
• 42:46
  I glow back but that's some housekeeping for next week.
• 42:48
  I'll deliver that one. All right.
• 42:50
  Inverse how many Greg. The Hammer Valentine matches
• 42:53
  have be covered. Is the first know I think he's I
• 42:56
  think he's know. And I didn't we cover him with
• 42:59
  honky-tonk? Oh yes, your yes, you're
• 43:02
  correct. I think.
• 43:03
  But on prime-time Russell. I mean, I'm sorry that I said
• 43:06
  yes. He's like if I could have a like
• 43:10
  a Halloween rubber mask of anyone's face and said, oh yeah,
• 43:14
  I think his face is fucking horrifying for some reason.
• 43:16
  I'm sorry. He's also.
• 43:19
  It's also guys like he's also got like his body is shaped like
• 43:24
  a keg. Yo, so weird around.
• 43:27
  Yeah. It is no Lin him there.
• 43:29
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 43:30
  I can't see him without seeing the meme of like this is what
• 43:34
  80s gym. Teachers used to laugh.
• 43:37
  I can't not. Look at him and women.
• 43:39
  Yeah, look at that. Yeah, women.
• 43:41
  Yeah exactly. The hair live right with a?
• 43:45
  Yeah, I think so. Yeah, it looks exactly the same
• 43:48
  as you did then. Yeah.
• 43:50
  Space is just a little bit more weathered.
• 43:51
  Yeah. He was on our screens for the
• 43:54
  dog collar match with Cody Rhodes.
• 43:57
  Back in the lead. They put him in the crowd during
• 43:59
  covid time. So this match goes almost 20
• 44:05
  minutes and mr. Perfect comes down in the middle
• 44:09
  and I'm not really sure why. The number one Contender is
• 44:12
  coming to worry about Bret Hart. In 1989, to be honest.
• 44:15
  Basically, the end goes, the endings, really interesting
• 44:20
  Valentine goes for his signature figure for, and on the turn,
• 44:24
  Brett kicks into the turnbuckle chest first Brett goes for the
• 44:29
  pin and the ref counts. One, two hands up in the middle
• 44:32
  of the air and the bell rings. It's like it's bizarre and
• 44:36
  nobody knows why the Bell has rung.
• 44:39
  It's like total chaos and confusion.
• 44:41
  Anyway, they let us know that the match ends in a draw because
• 44:44
  of time limit decision. Wow.
• 44:47
  If I were like if I watch that live, I was not going to be
• 44:52
  paying much attention to it, and I would have been heated that it
• 44:55
  ended in a draw. This has Bret Hart, booking All
• 44:58
  over it. He's like, I got an idea pal.
• 45:00
  Yeah, totally, totally where he's headed.
• 45:04
  All right, there's so much on this card, it's insane, and so
• 45:09
  much, lengthy stuff for an hour and a half, like, it's like,
• 45:12
  where do they keep? It's like Mary Poppins like bad.
• 45:15
  Just keep pulling things out of next up.
• 45:16
  We've got brother love show. Wait.
• 45:18
  There's a Hulk Hogan ornament even in that bag right before?
• 45:21
  It's a little Christmas tree there.
• 45:22
  So, this is exactly that. They show a Hulk Hogan Christmas
• 45:26
  ornament that I immediately Ran to eBay and looked up oh I found
• 45:30
  one. It is in Canada, it was a
• 45:34
  hundred and thirty eight dollars and two cents plus 1826 and
• 45:38
  shipping from Canada again. Wow, a hundred and fifty, six
• 45:42
  dollars and 28 cents and I bought it.
• 45:44
  No, no I didn't say I could have resold it on the, you know,
• 45:53
  wrestling for sale. Yeah, I was gonna say either Ted
• 45:55
  or Matt, Cardona, probably owns it or It's beautiful.
• 45:59
  Don't get me wrong. This thing is perfect.
• 46:01
  It's the typical glass ball ornament and it's it's got Hoke
• 46:07
  Hogan doing the Hogan pose with the arm out.
• 46:09
  And the making the by bicep, it says Hulkamania over the top of
• 46:13
  the head. It is beautiful beautiful.
• 46:16
  And if it was like 50 bucks, I may have would have thought
• 46:20
  about it but this one wasn't a would have been I like a
• 46:23
  Priceless family heirloom to I can kind of have that like you
• 46:26
  know, how those old glass ball? Ornaments are yeah.
• 46:28
  Like look like if you if you drop them, they're done.
• 46:31
  Yeah. Then that's all I'm going to say
• 46:32
  next year. Your son goes to put it up on
• 46:34
  the rocks, it and shatters into a million pieces.
• 46:36
  I was gonna say this is one of those ornaments that no Mommy.
• 46:38
  Or Daddy has put this one on top of the tree.
• 46:42
  Yeah. If you guys have wrestling
• 46:45
  ornaments, I don't know, I don't know.
• 46:49
  I definitely don't. I do not, but I was in, I was in
• 46:54
  CVS yesterday and I was going to, I think it was like, Robux
• 47:00
  gift cards or something like that, and they have like, the
• 47:03
  ten dollar ones. So I don't have to spend
• 47:05
  freaking $30 on a gift card for this stupid game.
• 47:08
  But regardless, I'm there and I'm looking at the Christmas
• 47:11
  ornaments and like, things like that.
• 47:13
  And all of a sudden there's just one of the Rock staring at me in
• 47:17
  the eyes and I like picked it up and I looked at it and I was
• 47:20
  like, but then I have to buy one for my daughter too and I met
• 47:23
  and I didn't do it whatever. Yeah yeah.
• 47:28
  It's bald Rock like the full arm tattoo is laughable.
• 47:33
  Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't the Brahma Bull
• 47:35
  one. It was like the full tribal
• 47:37
  tribal tattoo. So it was one of the newer ones
• 47:39
  and he's doing one. Classic rock pose.
• 47:42
  Arm are ya? It wasn't, it wasn't it worth
• 47:46
  it. You could have a wrestling
• 47:47
  tournament. Who would you want God your hand
• 47:49
  real quick. This has to be a those Classic
• 47:53
  Glass ball ones. Like, we were just talking about
• 47:55
  and it doesn't necessarily need to be that Hulk Hogan.
• 47:57
  That hoping anyone? That was there.
• 47:59
  But like, just that, I'm sure that they, if we go to WWE shop,
• 48:03
  they'll have something like that.
• 48:04
  But it's just, like, all the old logos from the back of ya.
• 48:10
  The back of the interview when it's the green screen and she
• 48:12
  said, that's my warrior logo that Bret Hart logo with like,
• 48:15
  the Bulls, Sighs. I like crosshairs thing like
• 48:18
  those are the ones you want. Warrior one would be pink and
• 48:20
  green to you know he really totally holy man, love it.
• 48:24
  All right and now I gotta go create stuff course, diarrhoea
• 48:30
  Brown and I'll find it ornament maker.
• 48:34
  You do the art. Let's get this moving for.
• 48:36
  Your right. Rusty, It's gotta be rusty.
• 48:47
  Yes, we gotta make it. This is a perfect side quest and
• 48:51
  love it. All right.
• 48:52
  Anyway, onto brother love and his special guests are the WWF
• 48:56
  Champion, Hulk Hogan, and his personal sidekick Brutus.
• 49:00
  The Barber, Beefcake, and guess what?
• 49:02
  They're trying to promote you guessed it.
• 49:04
  No Holds Barred the match the movie, This interviews bizarre,
• 49:09
  how brother loves music plays throughout it it Brutus.
• 49:16
  Claims that he sleeps with his scissors.
• 49:19
  At one point in the other video. He sleeps with his steel.
• 49:22
  It says SLI. Yes, to steal.
• 49:24
  It's my magic home. Yeah.
• 49:26
  And I'm eight as he holds it up to his face like you mate with
• 49:29
  that thing Hogan Rambles in circles.
• 49:33
  Like it's it's painful it's a male and talk talking about.
• 49:37
  Yeah. Like we do we don't want this
• 49:39
  match Before Christmas, we're glad it's after Christmas
• 49:42
  because, you know, we even if we won we'd still be like, beat up
• 49:45
  and then you like repeats that And it's yeah, shut up, yes,
• 49:48
  stop talking and Brutus is brutus's awful on the mic.
• 49:53
  Like he's trying, totally understand crying hardens and
• 49:56
  he's trying to get the crowd. Going says he'll do anything to
• 49:59
  be loved like the whole hulkster and it's like, just just stop.
• 50:03
  Please make this end. I'd like I'm thinking the whole
• 50:07
  time. He's like, Brutus, Brutus knows
• 50:09
  a lot about steel, which is Iraq.
• 50:11
  Yeah, because soon as face is gonna be full of it.
• 50:14
  Yeah. Wow.
• 50:17
  What's the timeline here? I know arranged yet, like I
• 50:21
  thought the same thing. No, man.
• 50:24
  Brotherly Love is interesting to watch during this one too,
• 50:26
  because he's like basking in the glow of Hulk Hogan.
• 50:31
  At this point, like he's staring at his mustache as it moves,
• 50:34
  while he speaks like it, he is locked in on that sucker.
• 50:37
  Yeah. He's not letting it move without
• 50:39
  his eyes, head wide open, but the entire time I was watching
• 50:42
  this, you know, there was the barber shop, there was like,
• 50:46
  Heartbreak Hotel. Like what was I couldn't
• 50:48
  remember for the life of me, what the name of Brother Love's
• 50:53
  set for his like rock step show? Right?
• 50:55
  Was it a chick think? So I couldn't remember for the
• 50:58
  life of me and it really bothered me so much so that it
• 51:00
  distracted me from watching Brutus Beefcake.
• 51:04
  Talk about mating with steel. It could have given it.
• 51:08
  Some kind of like church named right.
• 51:09
  Like yeah, but I think it's pretty sure.
• 51:12
  It's just the brother love show. There was another, there was
• 51:16
  another other part where brother love was referenced earlier in
• 51:18
  the evening when Piper is asking Santa to say, I love you and
• 51:24
  gorilla is like yeah. Like the other guy in the like
• 51:27
  your friend in the white suit. He's talking about brother.
• 51:29
  Love that one popped me too. Alright.
• 51:32
  So next up we've got another cut away to the studio and it's
• 51:36
  basically gorilla, just calming down, Piper take these Iraq.
• 51:39
  He's running still before. The I know you're doing it for
• 51:42
  the youngsters. And then, our next match, we've
• 51:46
  got Gillies, as promised versus Craig green, do my notes say all
• 51:52
  caps Hercules for some schmuck? Yeah.
• 51:55
  Honestly, the most interesting part of this match was that it
• 51:58
  must have taken place during Superstars.
• 52:01
  They may pick up on that, there's like, yeah, classic
• 52:04
  Manner and the superstars was blurred out.
• 52:07
  I thought that was is Vince, commentating, no.
• 52:09
  Vince is on the brother. Love show, right?
• 52:11
  Vincent. Yes, yeah.
• 52:13
  This is shravani and and Lord Alfred Hayes.
• 52:16
  Oh yes, one. All right, Hercules overpowers.
• 52:21
  The jobber uses his backbreaker submission and ends the match in
• 52:25
  two minutes. Not even like an insect promo
• 52:28
  like Hercules literally has nothing going on for him.
• 52:31
  No Feud. Nothing bloated.
• 52:33
  Are there any Hercules fans out there does anyone like her?
• 52:36
  Oh, mr. Perfect.
• 52:46
  Hercules one be back in the studio.
• 52:53
  We've got Roddy Piper. He's being removed from the
• 52:56
  prime time wrestling hosting gig, and because he was attacked
• 52:59
  his co-host and he doesn't take it quietly.
• 53:04
  Obviously, he's he did and he attacks the producer lays him
• 53:08
  out on the floor, and he's finally removed Jesus.
• 53:13
  This one comes to then our next match is Mark, Young versus Mark
• 53:18
  Young versus The Genius. Another interesting match.
• 53:22
  Interesting tidbit is that Mark Young is the son of a Chief Jay
• 53:27
  Strongbow for anybody who gives a shit about Mark Young anyway,
• 53:34
  he was looking pretty good flipping around in that ring but
• 53:38
  anyway, that much sucks does the hurricanrana but yes, the car
• 53:44
  can run has been invented yet. No, like front reverse flippers.
• 53:50
  They had no clue. What's it called?
• 53:52
  That is the perfect. Mikey.
• 53:54
  Work-rate interjection there. Like that is, that is exactly
• 53:57
  what we need out of. You is the calling of moves that
• 54:01
  are yet that are named yet that was perfect bravo bravo he.
• 54:06
  He does some like break dancing in the middle of the Ring to at
• 54:08
  one point. It's very strange.
• 54:12
  The fan is hate the genius to uh yeah yeah.
• 54:16
  They ain't sitting around the ring.
• 54:18
  Like what is his skin jury role? That's what it was.
• 54:20
  That's what Shoemaker I think talks about and I believe it was
• 54:23
  in his book like that. It came out about boy I don't
• 54:25
  know. A decade ago at this.
• 54:26
  Yeah. How the genie has got such?
• 54:29
  He was good at getting like Mega heat, just people that.
• 54:31
  Yeah. Because of the Prancing and
• 54:33
  stuff which, you know, there's are, you know, different areas.
• 54:37
  They really at one point, I thought I had it in my notes.
• 54:40
  Oh yeah. Tony Shivani calls the genius, a
• 54:43
  top star in WWF in this match at some Shivani without to launch
• 54:47
  here to money. No wonder you lasted a year.
• 54:50
  Yeah. You see, Alfred Hayes, ask some
• 54:52
  like how is Christmas was being a nice guy during this and then
• 54:55
  I yeah, Devon. He's like, it was busy and
• 54:57
  that's it. And it's like, yeah, it was
• 54:58
  silence for two minutes and like, he's, yes.
• 55:01
  Huh. Alfred's trying, you know,
• 55:05
  there's a lot of debuts on this and next up, we've got, we've
• 55:07
  got Dusty Rose and special interview stage and, and he's
• 55:12
  got a Christmas present for himself, and it's in the form of
• 55:14
  a new manager sweets. Sapphire and he introduces the
• 55:18
  superfan. So, do we know as Sapphire who's
• 55:22
  been hanging around? Stalking him at the Arena's is
• 55:25
  gonna be his new manager. Yeah.
• 55:28
  It's I got nothing else to say about the promo of all did it?
• 55:32
  We have superstars of ever existed.
• 55:33
  Would there be a better person to dress up as Santa then Dusty
• 55:36
  Rhodes? And no, no, right?
• 55:38
  Yeah, he's perfect. Yes.
• 55:40
  Perfect. Forget about Yuri.
• 55:41
  Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else you'd want
• 55:44
  to see dress up as Santa? Just for comedic effect.
• 55:47
  Then from a National Bank, you buggers better, doesn't have to
• 55:51
  be a fat guy like Macho, Man or hurt or you're doing Santa Claus
• 55:56
  on Bastian booger. That's the bigger.
• 55:59
  The big old slob. Yeah.
• 56:01
  Eggnog dripping down his face and the beard.
• 56:04
  Yeah, gorilla is in the studio by himself.
• 56:09
  Harping on the fact that there is a Santa, and tells the kit,
• 56:12
  the kitties the youngsters as he keeps calling them to not to
• 56:15
  listen to Heenan he says, Bobby has never said a true thing in
• 56:20
  his life and you should ignore him.
• 56:22
  Being this is an hour and 20 minutes into the show.
• 56:26
  That's an hour and 20 minutes where the parents had to like,
• 56:29
  go on complete. Oh we got like it.
• 56:32
  Shut it off immediately. Yeah, what's the word I'm
• 56:35
  looking for here that they had to like go into triage like just
• 56:38
  oh yeah just fixing things for an hour and 20 minutes and then
• 56:41
  at the end of it, they're finally ignore.
• 56:44
  Ignore Bobby Heenan. He's yeah.
• 56:46
  They could have like at some point pulled like a like a real
• 56:51
  Santa, you know, like come out and like magically appeared make
• 56:56
  things right, you know, but the no they don't do any of that, it
• 56:59
  would be nice. They really botched this.
• 57:01
  My son came in while I was watching the end of this I'm
• 57:03
  like oh great. He's like gorillas apologizing
• 57:06
  and like I needed to like turn it off like yeah yeah there's
• 57:11
  like they fumble it so poorly. So our main event of the night
• 57:15
  is A flat, Jimmy Snuka versus Macho King.
• 57:18
  Randy Savage with Sensational Queen Sherri and they're back at
• 57:23
  the Maple Leaf Gardens same show from Horowitz.
• 57:26
  You could tell by like the stage in the crowd.
• 57:29
  I think the fan. The the footage is fantastic.
• 57:33
  It's like so poorly lit. Yeah.
• 57:35
  It just screams of like late 80s.
• 57:39
  I love the way. Yes, the ramp thing.
• 57:42
  Yes, I love that especially it's feels so rare to see it in.
• 57:46
  WWF. I love the way Macho.
• 57:49
  King looks, I love like his gimmick.
• 57:51
  He still wearing the trunks, it's the only time.
• 57:54
  He's like a different like and then Snuka looks gigantic.
• 57:59
  Oh yeah. Yeah, right.
• 58:01
  He looks so big coming out there.
• 58:03
  Looks like a wild man like again, not the snooker that I
• 58:07
  necessarily like grew up watching he.
• 58:11
  He's acting like like he's like a jungle animal, like he's in
• 58:15
  Tarzan. Or something right?
• 58:17
  That had two hits, essentially, how he looks in the ring with
• 58:19
  the, with the animal print and the bare feet.
• 58:22
  And he looks absolutely jacked, not a healthy way.
• 58:28
  No, not the healthy way at all. Like does not look healthy.
• 58:32
  I'm like waiting for him to have a heart attack and defend.
• 58:34
  All right. Yeah.
• 58:34
  But that's in still move at this point.
• 58:36
  Yeah. I mean it's 1989 like the right.
• 58:39
  He were we were seeing snuck a later but yeah.
• 58:41
  This this is certainly on some cyclists steroids.
• 58:48
  We get I like how in the middle of the match.
• 58:50
  We could get cuts to gorilla before commercial and then it
• 58:54
  gets back from commercial and cuts back to gorilla before he
• 58:57
  hands the match back and really, the Highlight comes from the
• 59:02
  end. You've got Snuka and, and
• 59:07
  Savage. Sorry.
• 59:08
  I'm trying to find my place in this match.
• 59:11
  Snuka has Savage trapped in the ropes, but he's like, too stupid
• 59:14
  to finish him off. Leave Is it in there?
• 59:17
  Sherry comes in Nails him in the back of the head with a loaded
• 59:20
  purse, obviously some steel bar as they said inside there and
• 59:26
  she drags Savage on top of them Sherry that make sure the ref is
• 59:31
  up. Make some count 1, 2 3 and
• 59:35
  around nine minutes. This match comes to an end.
• 59:38
  Where did heels get the steel bars that go in a loaded pursed?
• 59:41
  Is that like a Home Depot or Lowe's?
• 59:43
  Yeah, right. I need a loan experts.
• 59:45
  Yeah. Stealing or floral Arbors it
• 59:48
  enough in a purse. Yeah.
• 59:49
  And trim it down for why don't why don't you ask to Hardware?
• 59:52
  Brett got his first part of this is gorillas response to the
• 1:00:06
  loaded purse. What a miscarriage of Justice.
• 1:00:10
  I'm gonna have to pull that clip and make it a sound sound clip
• 1:00:13
  for us in the show. Miscarriage of Justice.
• 1:00:16
  Otis after the every anytime anyone dogs Warrior and I really
• 1:00:20
  love. Yes, after the match, I thought
• 1:00:24
  it was interesting that the former King Hacksaw Jim Duggan
• 1:00:27
  comes and saves Snuka. But all right, I'm done with
• 1:00:31
  that. We get, we get Gorilla and he's
• 1:00:34
  pushing the pay-per-view. Once again, the No Holds Barred
• 1:00:39
  and Piper comes back to let us know like he's real sad, he's
• 1:00:43
  got to leave the show but Can't tell like happy is.
• 1:00:47
  He said emotions are all over the country all we had a great
• 1:00:50
  time. I respect he respects gorilla he
• 1:00:53
  calls gorilla girlier in the show too didn't ya so that the
• 1:00:59
  event comes to a close. Our first Primetime wrestling
• 1:01:03
  would anybody like to give this in true fashion cans in the
• 1:01:07
  cooler as an entirety. Anybody want to go first?
• 1:01:10
  I know I threw this out so you can dog it.
• 1:01:13
  If you want my key worker, it's shaking his head because The
• 1:01:16
  work rate on. This was about a negative 3.
• 1:01:18
  Yeah, he likes Hercules though. So if this was informed that if
• 1:01:24
  this was condensed to like a, you know, like an hour-long
• 1:01:27
  television and so then it would have been like, 45 minutes on
• 1:01:30
  peacock, it would have been much better.
• 1:01:32
  But an hour-and-a-half was a little too long for my liking.
• 1:01:35
  I was shocked that it was, as long as it was same saying, I
• 1:01:37
  don't like it 50 minutes or something.
• 1:01:39
  I apologize. So like I texted you short on
• 1:01:42
  time, I was like just watch the Heenan and and Piper stuff
• 1:01:45
  that's really And the Promos in between, that's all you need.
• 1:01:49
  It's definitely worth watching. It's fun because it's Christmas
• 1:01:51
  time. Yes, I kit dwells a bit on the,
• 1:01:54
  you know, the piper Saga. But, you know, there's a lot of
• 1:01:59
  goofy stuff I'll say 3.5, just because oh, I was gonna say two
• 1:02:04
  and a half, I like the promos. Yes, on Guerrilla, does the
• 1:02:08
  weird sexual innuendo kind of? Yeah, we, I forgot that
• 1:02:11
  housekeeping within the show. He he says at one point goes,
• 1:02:15
  let's take you to To Sean Rooney who I know had a great Christmas
• 1:02:21
  like fake out the like the Christmas party or something
• 1:02:24
  like girl, you're like, you got here emphasizing the wrong word
• 1:02:33
  and it just honestly, just for the perfect ingenious promo
• 1:02:36
  code, which I think. Yes, Christmas ornaments.
• 1:02:39
  And I'm a sucker for anything Christmas.
• 1:02:41
  All right. I'll raise it to three right
• 1:02:43
  there. Yeah, three.
• 1:02:46
  S3 is where I'm at to. It was, it was uncomfortable
• 1:02:49
  uncomfortably entertaining. I, there was time where I was
• 1:02:54
  like, oh my God, what am I watching?
• 1:02:56
  And why am I watching it? And then I got through it and I
• 1:02:58
  was like, alright that was really good.
• 1:02:59
  I like yeah Mikey want to give us give this cans in the cooler.
• 1:03:07
  I think Mike is falling asleep over there.
• 1:03:11
  I loved it. I hated it best of times.
• 1:03:14
  It was the worst of times. I'd say about a two and a half,
• 1:03:18
  two and a half. All right, so we're all on the
• 1:03:20
  same page. All right times the I can't
• 1:03:24
  remember the jobbers name. No yeah Mario Horowitz verse a
• 1:03:30
  jobber is like not not good television.
• 1:03:33
  No it does not compute. Yeah it's not complete.

• 1:04:43
  Oh man. We've got another action-packed
• 1:04:45
  week here. I am really struggling to put
• 1:04:47
  together a top three from the week.
• 1:04:51
  Honorable mention is packed this week.
• 1:04:52
  It's really taken over mostly by aew with us recording on
• 1:04:57
  Wednesday evening. It always slows us down with
• 1:05:00
  kind of staying on top of of aw here but action don't call me.
• 1:05:04
  Mario Andretti, defeats Chris Jericho in a very 1-2-3 Kid
• 1:05:09
  esque Style Style Match where the job.
• 1:05:13
  Goes over. They were blatantly calling him
• 1:05:15
  a jobber throughout the batch Scott Hall did this for Jericho
• 1:05:19
  as well during his career. So it really cool.
• 1:05:23
  Unexpected. I thought it was really cool
• 1:05:24
  that they pulled it off sticking with aw and honorable mention
• 1:05:28
  death. Triumph, triangle takes a 3-1
• 1:05:30
  lead but they kind of bury the lead as they tell us that
• 1:05:34
  matched five will be no DQ Match 6 Falls Count Anywhere match. 7
• 1:05:38
  Escuela de muerta a ladder match so it's inevitable that this was
• 1:05:42
  going. That this is going seven.
• 1:05:44
  I think we can assume that for the beginning but they pretty
• 1:05:46
  much buried the lead. Harry always go 7.
• 1:05:49
  Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
• 1:05:51
  I will stick with some honorable mention Bronson read returns to
• 1:05:55
  Monday Night Raw, this week, as missus Hired Gun and his heavy
• 1:06:01
  in ensured that he returned and and one his money back from
• 1:06:08
  expert. Sorry to interrupt, but I heard
• 1:06:11
  Triple H has been wanting to bring him back.
• 1:06:13
  Accents like August. I am not impressed by Bronson
• 1:06:19
  read. We went to the impact right
• 1:06:23
  pay-per-view in Poughkeepsie and he took on ECE and I was so
• 1:06:28
  hyped up for this match. I was like the one I was looking
• 1:06:31
  most forward to and it just kind of fell flat.
• 1:06:34
  I don't know if it was just the match of styles didn't work.
• 1:06:37
  I don't know if he/she is too strong style for Bronson read to
• 1:06:40
  work that way. Apparently he be Toccata.
• 1:06:44
  Engine new A pan like this dude could be huge and I don't mean
• 1:06:49
  that in the stature kind of way but could be a big star and
• 1:06:52
  they've treated that him that way in other promotions and him
• 1:06:55
  coming back, just didn't feel important.
• 1:06:57
  I mean, I'm still gonna give him a chance.
• 1:06:59
  I hope, I hope they improve but at this instance like it just
• 1:07:02
  was like, oh, okay. Another Hired Gun for them is
• 1:07:05
  moving on. Speaking of moving on, let's
• 1:07:08
  head to the top three. Number three of this week will
• 1:07:11
  be WWE, embracing past stories So, this past Monday night on
• 1:07:16
  Raw, we saw two instances of really long-term storytelling,
• 1:07:20
  and them trying to tie together long-form stories together and
• 1:07:26
  that wasn't explained very well. But regardless of it, we have a
• 1:07:30
  scenario of Alexa Bliss and Bianca, Bel-Air in an interview
• 1:07:34
  with Byron Saxton and Alexa goes into recapping her whole her
• 1:07:40
  whole Saga. When abducted by Bray Wyatt to
• 1:07:43
  current day. And I thought it was incredible
• 1:07:47
  that Bianca comes in and starts talking about Bray and Alexa
• 1:07:51
  cuts her off immediately. And it's like, it's not about
• 1:07:54
  him, he's not a threat to you. I am and I just thought that the
• 1:07:57
  ability to go back to pay homage to storytelling that they've
• 1:08:02
  done. In the past, was really a new
• 1:08:05
  Leaf here and something that Triple H is bringing to the
• 1:08:07
  table. He did it again with KO and Seth
• 1:08:11
  in their segments later on acknowledging their past and not
• 1:08:15
  Blatantly ignoring what has happened months ago and just
• 1:08:19
  treating it like today's the only day that matters and I
• 1:08:22
  think that the storytelling here was really well done.
• 1:08:25
  Very excited to see them. Continue to give us more like
• 1:08:29
  this and paying us back for paying attention and watching
• 1:08:33
  their product. Hated.
• 1:08:34
  That was Elias last week, too. Yeah, yeah, yes, great call out.
• 1:08:39
  Story number two, we see a physical person of Uncle howdy
• 1:08:44
  showing up on. Smackdown.
• 1:08:46
  Do we actually believe he's going to be a on-screen
• 1:08:49
  character? Do we actually give a shit about
• 1:08:52
  Bray still? Like Jesus Christ.
• 1:08:54
  This is so drawn-out. Yeah.
• 1:08:58
  And like just if it weren't for the Alexa stuff it would be
• 1:09:02
  awful. This is like I'm here for a slow
• 1:09:05
  build but this is not a good slow build in my opinion, I
• 1:09:09
  don't know. I said it months ago that I
• 1:09:11
  don't think Bray Wyatt. I don't think break can be a
• 1:09:14
  main eventer. Don't I don't think he can.
• 1:09:16
  I really don't not in this current climate and I don't
• 1:09:20
  know. Sorry to derail your question.
• 1:09:22
  Oh, but I think I think the if the cat the one of the rumors
• 1:09:26
  and things speculations was that maybe his brother is getting,
• 1:09:31
  you know, re-signed by the company.
• 1:09:33
  And maybe his brother is going to be uncle howdy or if not
• 1:09:35
  Uncle howdy than another one of the characters.
• 1:09:38
  Dallas. Yeah, Dallas bouquet, I could
• 1:09:40
  get it that right. They just needed.
• 1:09:43
  They need to just got a full story line somewhere.
• 1:09:45
  Or it's just not, it's taking way too long and I agree that,
• 1:09:49
  like, I don't want it, I don't want it pumped out like week to
• 1:09:52
  or week 3, but this is just like a, it feels like it's going
• 1:09:56
  nowhere and it's taking too long to go anywhere right here.
• 1:09:59
  That is mine. Yeah, I think about how excited
• 1:10:03
  you were when you first started like hearing, that Bray was
• 1:10:05
  going to be back. Like you can't tell me that any
• 1:10:08
  of this has lived up to expectations.
• 1:10:10
  No, it definitely has not. And the build area is at a
• 1:10:13
  snail's pace. Yes, every single time he's on
• 1:10:17
  my screen. I am locked in and paying.
• 1:10:19
  Yeah, I just worry that he's gonna get like redundant, which
• 1:10:22
  is what he was before he got. Let go and released, I think the
• 1:10:27
  uncle howdy reveal doesn't happen for a long long time,
• 1:10:31
  right? When we We get it.
• 1:10:33
  He's going to take off the mask and it's going to be Bray Wyatt
• 1:10:35
  underneath it. Yeah.
• 1:10:37
  Which the yeah which is like, I don't know.
• 1:10:40
  Is that really what anybody wants?
• 1:10:42
  See, I don't think so. I think the problem with the
• 1:10:47
  storytelling of bright and I listened the guy's a genius
• 1:10:50
  creative to the especially but I feel like there's nothing.
• 1:10:56
  There's nothing that like we're looking forward to with his
• 1:10:59
  storyline right now and I think that's the problem.
• 1:11:02
  Like there's no like, okay the uncle howdy thing.
• 1:11:05
  Like, do I really care who uncle howdy is right now?
• 1:11:07
  Not really, you know, like, there's no end game of like
• 1:11:11
  who's his Feud going to be with like yeah, I don't care like, if
• 1:11:15
  Ellie night eventually joins forces with him, that makes
• 1:11:19
  sense. But if you feuds with him I
• 1:11:21
  don't know. Like, is that something I'm
• 1:11:22
  really looking forward to. So I think that this This, I
• 1:11:27
  don't even want to call it a feud.
• 1:11:28
  Their interactions has immediately.
• 1:11:31
  Elevated La night to somewhere, that makes him feel important.
• 1:11:36
  Just in standing in his presence just being in this storyline.
• 1:11:40
  It Changes La night as someone that was really intriguing.
• 1:11:46
  And NWA during the power time to somebody that went to NXT,
• 1:11:51
  didn't feel like he fit their came to the main roster and was
• 1:11:55
  like all right, dude. What are you going to do?
• 1:11:57
  And now, I feel like he is immediately elevated, and I
• 1:12:01
  think that's the power of Bray and where he comes out at.
• 1:12:05
  The other end is certainly going to be interesting when I'm
• 1:12:08
  talking about he being La night, right?
• 1:12:10
  Oz, pal. But I think he's, you know, only
• 1:12:14
  set up for Success now and we have another midcard guy that
• 1:12:18
  you can like move in and sure he's not top of the card.
• 1:12:21
  I don't expect them to but I think that he's doing Justice to
• 1:12:25
  La night and making Him an interesting character and I
• 1:12:29
  agree with you. The Bray Wyatt Saga is not
• 1:12:32
  anything that I am locked into. It's not something that I think
• 1:12:36
  about, except for, when he's on my screen.
• 1:12:39
  But when he's on my screen, I'm watching, and I'm interested to
• 1:12:41
  see what they do next. So there's previously and the
• 1:12:45
  White Rabbit stuff and all of the QR codes and all that stuff.
• 1:12:48
  I was thinking about Bray Wyatt, outside of normal like, just
• 1:12:51
  watching wrestling. I was like trying to finish.
• 1:12:53
  He booked it and figure it out in my head and like, I fully
• 1:12:56
  Down the rabbit hole pun intended, and now like, it's
• 1:13:00
  just like, oh, oh yeah, this is on cool.
• 1:13:02
  And I'm fully locked in and that's enough for me to be like,
• 1:13:05
  alright, cool, I'm still interested in locked in on this.
• 1:13:08
  But yes, you're right. It's slowed down significantly
• 1:13:10
  and it's not where I think any of us wanted wanted it to be.
• 1:13:15
  Yeah, it just feels like it doesn't have like any direction
• 1:13:19
  like and I don't know how to put it but there's Direction but
• 1:13:23
  it's not like enough direction to keep me.
• 1:13:26
  Interested week-to-week like you said, if I'm not looking forward
• 1:13:29
  to it but if it's on my TV, I'm interested.
• 1:13:31
  But is that a good thing? Because you don't know where
• 1:13:33
  it's going. I don't think there's enough.
• 1:13:36
  There's nothing for me here. Yeah you yeah.
• 1:13:39
  I think so because I don't think there's anything for me to be
• 1:13:41
  like, what's next? Like I'm not interested in
• 1:13:44
  what's next? They're not doing anything
• 1:13:46
  that's making me interested in what's next, but that's just me.
• 1:13:50
  I'll tell you what's next. It's Story number one and Story.
• 1:13:52
  Number one is John Cena returns. Of be returning to SmackDown on
• 1:13:58
  December 30th. He was confirmed in a Tron
• 1:14:02
  interview or a Tron video, this past Friday on Smackdown.
• 1:14:07
  It's now booked Cena and KO versus Sammy and Roman Reigns on
• 1:14:12
  Friday the 30th, this will be seen as first match of the year
• 1:14:17
  and it will be, he will have one match in every year for 20,
• 1:14:22
  straight years. So pretty awesome.
• 1:14:25
  I'm Excited to see where he comes back.
• 1:14:27
  I don't believe he fits into the Roman verse, but I'm sure this
• 1:14:31
  will catapult him into something that leads us to WrestleMania
• 1:14:34
  and to see where he he really comes in and see where John Cena
• 1:14:39
  will be on our televisions for the next three or four months.
• 1:14:44
  I've been teasing it two weeks ago, I gave my way to early pick
• 1:14:48

• 1:14:51

  paperwork. Yeah I forgot who I pick.
• 1:15:14

  Dark or he is God's favor. Right.
• 1:15:27
  The Vegas. Favorite of the, yeah, yeah.
• 1:15:30
  That's the obvious. They go obvious.

  It's our course, maybe Sammy maybe Rollins for the women's.
• 1:15:37
  I say I got like Charlotte, maybe Rhea Rhea plea.
• 1:15:43

• 1:16:09
  Zayn, I know, it's probably too early for that if that's going
• 1:16:12
  that way, but I'm gonna give it to him for the women's.
• 1:16:16
  I'm going to say Sasha Banks because I think she's gonna go.
• 1:16:20
  They're going to do a smaller tighter window.
• 1:16:22
  Cody Rhodes was gone for a long time.
• 1:16:23
  Came back. He's a bigger deal now and W
• 1:16:25
  than he ever was before. I think Sasha Banks gonna have
• 1:16:28
  the same effect even she's going out to Japan.
• 1:16:30
  Whatever comes back blows up. When's the rumble?
• 1:16:34
  She's bigger than she ever was in the WWE.
• 1:16:36
  It seems huge. All right, I like it.
• 1:16:38
  I dig that. Nick hit me.
• 1:16:40
  I like it. I am going to go with Alexa
• 1:16:44
  Bliss and I'm gonna go with Austin theory for the men's.
• 1:16:50
  All right, because I was going to say Kody but that's what I
• 1:16:53
  was gonna say Kody and Charlotte but those are too predictable.
• 1:16:57
  I shouldn't go. Becky my my flag is in the
• 1:17:01
  ground. It is still sturdy with My Soul
• 1:17:04
  osakawa, pick for the Royal Rumble.
• 1:17:06
  I'm gonna hang on to that one even with The Rock still out
• 1:17:09
  there, even even with the rock, that's the segue to get to the
• 1:17:12
  Rock. Arthur.
• 1:17:13
  Because the storytelling here is that solo sekolah was sent to
• 1:17:17
  the bloodline by the elders wasn't brought in by Roman.
• 1:17:21
  It was by the elders. So that's that's what I'm
• 1:17:23
  sticking with that. Little bread crumb is, is what
• 1:17:25
  I'm eating up. I'm like, Being in the corner of
• 1:17:27
  my squirrel cheek and see him. Spit at WrestleMania.
• 1:17:32
  That's all right. Nor do I and Alexa Bliss was
• 1:17:36
  also my pick for the women's side.
• 1:17:38
  I think we'll revisit this in a couple weeks.
• 1:17:40
  Don't say that. A lie.
• 1:17:41
  No one said belly. No, it's a good hand.
• 1:17:45
  No, just a good hands. Wow.
• 1:17:47
  That is backhanded compliment of nerd.
• 1:17:49
  That's the way they treated her since this return at SummerSlam.
• 1:17:52
  Like I'm all for it but that's all it is.
• 1:17:55
  She won't feel that way. Our extra credit for this week.
• 1:17:59
  Nick give us a Merry Christmas and send us home.

  It's like a while complete Wild Card big surprise.
• 1:18:44

• 1:18:44
  You know, like those little toys that kids get now, where they

  that it's good. I don't know.
• 1:18:50
