- 5:33Speaker 2: Brian and Mark with a social media posts and all
- 5:35Speaker 2: the fans, everybody who reached out. I definitely felt the
- 5:39Speaker 2: love and support, so so thank you very much.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Yeah, it seemed like there was a lot of people
- 5:46Speaker 1: posting very nice things but also really funny things. Did
- 5:49Speaker 1: you see the story that Dark Chic told. Yes I did, Frian,
- 5:55Speaker 1: did you see this?
- 5:55Speaker 3: I think someone sent it to me.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Yeah, the about the water. Matt said I had to
- 6:00Speaker 1: send people somebody to get water and they said, oh, thanks,
- 6:05Speaker 1: that's really kind of you, and he said, not for everybody,
- 6:07Speaker 1: for me, And as I read that, I just saw
- 6:11Speaker 1: him going for me.
- 6:14Speaker 2: Yeah. Listen, what a journey guys, like you know, we
- 6:19Speaker 2: got fired twenty twenty April fifteen, twenty twenty, and you know,
- 6:25Speaker 2: like I guess, the goal was always to get back,
- 6:28Speaker 2: but it wasn't like from day one, what have I
- 6:31Speaker 2: got to do to get back to W I couldn't
- 6:33Speaker 2: think like that, you know, I couldn't think and I
- 6:37Speaker 2: certainly couldn't think like with negativity or bitterness. I just knew,
- 6:40Speaker 2: and I've posted about this like I had three options.
- 6:43Speaker 2: I could be bitter, be negative, feel feel sorry for
- 6:46Speaker 2: myself and fade into obscurity. I could just coast off
- 6:51Speaker 2: the WW name and play the greatest hits and make
- 6:54Speaker 2: money for the rest of my life. Or I could
- 6:57Speaker 2: reinvent myself, try to outwork every motherfucker out there and
- 7:02Speaker 2: create my own path. And I chose option three. And
- 7:05Speaker 2: it wasn't easy. You know, it might seem like it
- 7:08Speaker 2: was easy, but it wasn't. And it was a lot
- 7:10Speaker 2: of ups and downs and a lot of hard work,
- 7:11Speaker 2: but it all paid off, you know. Yeah.
- 7:15Speaker 3: I mean my post here on the screen, you know,
- 7:17Speaker 3: I meant every word of it, you know, And I
- 7:19Speaker 3: think it goes without saying that. I'm proud of you
- 7:22Speaker 3: and happy for you. But I think the bigger picture
- 7:25Speaker 3: is like what I think you were able to show
- 7:27Speaker 3: people what's possible, you know, because I think a lot
- 7:31Speaker 3: of people sometimes get lost in that, in that bubble
- 7:34Speaker 3: and the woe is me when you know, wrestling doesn't
- 7:37Speaker 3: know anyone anything. You know, it's what you doesn't It's
- 7:39Speaker 3: what you put into it, what you get back. TJ
- 7:42Speaker 3: and I were talking about yesterday and we were laughing.
- 7:44Speaker 3: We're like Matt was signed at twenty and then again
- 7:47Speaker 3: at forty.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Oh.
- 7:51Speaker 2: I just thought so, like, oh my god, but like
- 7:54Speaker 2: that's funny in a way, but also like it's also
- 7:57Speaker 2: like anything's possible, right, everybody's story is different, and no,
- 8:01Speaker 2: there's no no, you know what I mean. The only
- 8:03Speaker 2: one's gonna tell you, no, is you if you accept
- 8:05Speaker 2: it and don't try anymore. You know, I tell guys
- 8:09Speaker 2: and girls all the time, but they ask for advice.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I say, like you said, Brian, nobody has the same journey,
- 8:14Speaker 2: No one has the same pant. No, there's no blueprint, right, Like,
- 8:19Speaker 2: you might make it if you don't quit, and you
- 8:21Speaker 2: definitely won't make it if you quit. So just don't quit.
- 8:23Speaker 2: It's as easy as that. It's the only advice I
- 8:25Speaker 2: can give people. And that's the advice I kind of
- 8:28Speaker 2: maybe delusionly optimistically told myself every single day, you know.
- 8:33Speaker 2: And there are certainly times where listen, the crowd's rabbit hot,
- 8:38Speaker 2: I'm making all this money on merchant, I'm loving life.
- 8:40Speaker 2: And then there are days where I'm in the middle
- 8:42Speaker 2: of nowhere, there's not a tweet about the show, and
- 8:44Speaker 2: I'm thinking what am I doing with my life? You know,
- 8:47Speaker 2: like we've all been there, right.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:49Speaker 1: That being said, though, man, just from being around you,
- 8:54Speaker 1: I don't think that you let this goal like consume
- 8:58Speaker 1: your thoughts. I think, right, you had a great time
- 9:02Speaker 1: and you and it certainly was at the top of
- 9:06Speaker 1: your mind. But I think that like you would have
- 9:09Speaker 1: been fine if it never happened, right like you you
- 9:11Speaker 1: sort of you made your your your businesses and and
- 9:15Speaker 1: and you pushed on that stuff. And I don't know
- 9:18Speaker 1: what what what would you say to that?
- 9:19Speaker 2: No, I made a post about it the other day, like,
- 9:22Speaker 2: these past five years in the Indies were the greatest
- 9:25Speaker 2: time of my career, uh so far. And like I
- 9:29Speaker 2: said earlier, it wasn't like what do I gotta do
- 9:31Speaker 2: to get themna notice me? Game? Blah blah blah. But
- 9:33Speaker 2: of course, like every day when I woke up, I
- 9:35Speaker 2: would say, Okay, my goal is to get back there,
- 9:37Speaker 2: you know, and I did all the things I could
- 9:40Speaker 2: do to control. But also like if it didn't happen,
- 9:43Speaker 2: I built something outside and it's not like, okay, it's
- 9:47Speaker 2: not like I was never there. If I was never
- 9:49Speaker 2: there and never got to w w ever, it'd be devastating, right,
- 9:53Speaker 2: And I think maybe I'd be a little bummed out
- 9:56Speaker 2: I never got back there again. Right at least I
- 9:58Speaker 2: could say, well, I was there, you know. I want
- 10:00Speaker 2: the intercoll on wrestlming.
- 10:01Speaker 3: I do want to say that for those that haven't,
- 10:03Speaker 3: like because I say this all the time too, like
- 10:05Speaker 3: it would be very hypocritical if Matt and I were
- 10:07Speaker 3: like whatever, But because we've lived WW lives and dreams,
- 10:11Speaker 3: so like, I always think everyone's got to find that
- 10:13Speaker 3: out for themselves, if that's for them, or you know,
- 10:15Speaker 3: or at least try it once to see, you know
- 10:18Speaker 3: what it's like, I mean, because so if you haven't,
- 10:21Speaker 3: you got to go for it.
- 10:22Speaker 2: The truth is, I didn't grow up wanting to be
- 10:25Speaker 2: a pro wrestler. Group wanted to be a WWE wrestler,
- 10:28Speaker 2: a WWE superstar, right so, and you know you saw
- 10:34Speaker 2: like Cody and Kevinoha's making fun of me a couple
- 10:36Speaker 2: of months ago, right like that. He's so good that
- 10:38Speaker 2: I brought it up all the time, because I only
- 10:40Speaker 2: brought it up when I was asked first of all.
- 10:43Speaker 3: But of course that was fairly true.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Of course I wanted to work, you know where my
- 10:49Speaker 2: wife works. Of Course I wanted to work the place
- 10:50Speaker 2: I grew up wanting to work. Of Course I want
- 10:53Speaker 2: I wanted to WrestleMania moment again, a wrestling mass work
- 10:55Speaker 2: guard again, or walk into Target or Walmart and see
- 10:58Speaker 2: my figure again. And now all that stuff as possible.
- 11:00Speaker 2: I'm very grateful for it, man and listen. There were
- 11:03Speaker 2: certainly times I thought it's never gonna happen. Like I
- 11:07Speaker 2: remember one time calling SDL up when we were together.
- 11:10Speaker 2: I'm like, you need to go your own way because
- 11:12Speaker 2: I think I'm holding you back because you're never gonna
- 11:14Speaker 2: get there with me. I'm serious, really, Like there was
- 11:19Speaker 2: a point, like a couple of times where I'm like,
- 11:21Speaker 2: it's not happening, because like if not, now, when is
- 11:25Speaker 2: it going to happen? What else would you what also
- 11:28Speaker 2: I have to do?
- 11:29Speaker 3: Like but no, no, Like that's the thing.
- 11:32Speaker 2: I just I just didn't. I just didn't quit. I
- 11:34Speaker 2: didn't take no for an answer, you know.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I just you also took every possible opportunity that you had.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I mean, you had an insane year this year, working
- 11:45Speaker 1: for so many companies. You know, it's just it's absolutely insane.
- 11:51Speaker 2: And that's another thing too. It's like I took every
- 11:54Speaker 2: booking everybody, the good, the bad, the ugly, right, Like
- 11:59Speaker 2: I just wanted to get out there, and I learned
- 12:02Speaker 2: from every single booking out there, every single opponent. I
- 12:06Speaker 2: learned something from, right, And like that's why I tell
- 12:09Speaker 2: people work as much as possible. Yeah, Like, seriously, work
- 12:13Speaker 2: as many shows as possible. Some people they only want
- 12:16Speaker 2: to do the big ones, like everyone wants to only
- 12:18Speaker 2: do the big ones.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Hey, another thing that Tyson Kidds said yesterday during a
- 12:23Speaker 3: seminar that I didn't really ever think about, and it
- 12:28Speaker 3: doesn't apply to in this moment because right now WW
- 12:31Speaker 3: is doing that holiday tour and they're going to be
- 12:33Speaker 3: in overseas. But Indie guys have a chance to have
- 12:38Speaker 3: like double the reps of a WW superstar, right, And
- 12:42Speaker 3: that's how you get better. You know, the more shows
- 12:44Speaker 3: you do, the more you learn, the more whatever. Then,
- 12:46Speaker 3: like you said, the good, the bad, whatever, you just
- 12:47Speaker 3: do them all. That's how you learn in this business.
- 12:50Speaker 3: And like to a degree, WW superstars aren't getting fast
- 12:53Speaker 3: tecked like that anymore because it's not possible. There's no shows,
- 12:55Speaker 3: you know, it's just your TVs. So like ind you
- 12:58Speaker 3: guys have the run of it, like you guys have
- 13:00Speaker 3: like then that's a cool perspective, I think. Right, that's crazy.
- 13:04Speaker 1: And there are areas too where you can have five
- 13:08Speaker 1: shows of a week.
- 13:09Speaker 3: For sure. There's plenty of cap guys busting their maskett
- 13:11Speaker 3: in the car going up and down these coasts. You know,
- 13:14Speaker 3: two or three times a weekend, working everything they can.
- 13:16Speaker 1: It's crazy. There's this young brother up here in New England,
- 13:21Speaker 1: very new I think, two years in and he wrote
- 13:24Speaker 1: that he had one hundred and seventy eight matches at
- 13:28Speaker 1: least twenty twenty five.
- 13:29Speaker 2: That's incredible.
- 13:30Speaker 1: I saw him on New Year's and I go, I'm like,
- 13:33Speaker 1: come on. I was like, I'm trying to do the
- 13:35Speaker 1: math here are you counting practice matches? And he's like no,
- 13:38Speaker 1: He's like no, and he showed me his cage match
- 13:40Speaker 1: and his cage match had one hundred and fifty something
- 13:43Speaker 1: and he said, I know it says only say one
- 13:44Speaker 1: hundred and fifty, but there was some like really crappy shows
- 13:46Speaker 1: I did that it didn't count, but he actually did it.
- 13:49Speaker 2: That's incredible.
- 13:50Speaker 1: And you know this is not some big name INDI guy,
- 13:54Speaker 1: so it's possible if you do it. But I did
- 13:58Speaker 1: want to mention brisk I talked a lot of about
- 14:00Speaker 1: the I'm posted about the hard work and sort of
- 14:04Speaker 1: what you did and how insane you were. You know,
- 14:09Speaker 1: sometimes you're the hardest worker I've ever met. Sometimes I
- 14:12Speaker 1: think to a detriment, which you know, sometimes you agree.
- 14:17Speaker 1: But it's funny because it. Recently, there's been a lot
- 14:20Speaker 1: of talk in my life about this hard work by
- 14:22Speaker 1: I was talking to my daughter about she started basketball.
- 14:26Speaker 1: She's nervous if she's going to be good at it,
- 14:28Speaker 1: you know, and I'm trying to tell her that, you know,
- 14:31Speaker 1: you're not going to be good at it unless you try.
- 14:34Speaker 1: And you certainly can be good at it if if
- 14:38Speaker 1: you work hard at it, if you practice you're dribbling,
- 14:40Speaker 1: if you go out and you and you try shooting.
- 14:42Speaker 1: And that's why I wrote that it's kind of it's
- 14:44Speaker 1: kind of a lesson for everybody. I mean, it's a
- 14:46Speaker 1: lesson that parents can give their kids, as as corny
- 14:50Speaker 1: as that is, as to say, if you work hard
- 14:54Speaker 1: enough at something, it will happen. And this is this
- 14:59Speaker 1: is proof some of these shows. Man, you could have
- 15:03Speaker 1: just went, you could have just did the match, but
- 15:06Speaker 1: instead you brought a Jurassic Park jeep that every time
- 15:11Speaker 1: an entourage of people. Yeah, cause you book the right thing.
- 15:15Speaker 1: You made a moment, you got to figure out of it.
- 15:18Speaker 1: You could have just did a match.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Well, I you know, I listen. I can't say that
- 15:22Speaker 2: I treated every single match like it was WrestleMania because
- 15:24Speaker 2: I would be a lie. But I tried to treat
- 15:26Speaker 2: every single match like it was a big deal, right,
- 15:29Speaker 2: because if it wasn't, what am I even doing right?
- 15:32Speaker 3: Right, would be big deals with people paying.
- 15:35Speaker 2: The exactly right. I tell that to people all the time.
- 15:37Speaker 2: If it's not a big deal to me, there's not
- 15:38Speaker 2: a big deal to anybody. Like listen, at the end
- 15:40Speaker 2: of the day, it's an independent show, even like the
- 15:42Speaker 2: biggest GCW show is an independent show in Atlantic City,
- 15:46Speaker 2: New Jersey. Right, But if I have to treat it
- 15:49Speaker 2: like it's WrestleMania in Atlantic City, New Jersey or else,
- 15:53Speaker 2: it's nothing or else? What am I even like getting
- 15:55Speaker 2: out of bed for?
- 15:56Speaker 3: You know?
- 15:58Speaker 2: But yeah, the support over the past five years, every
- 16:01Speaker 2: promoter who booked me, you know, everyone who brought me
- 16:03Speaker 2: in for a signing, every fan who showed support, you know,
- 16:07Speaker 2: the podcast fans, like every opponent, thank you.
- 16:10Speaker 3: I have a question, how sad have all these promoters
- 16:12Speaker 3: been that you told them you're not coming to their
- 16:14Speaker 3: shows anymore? And part two, how many of the boys
- 16:18Speaker 3: have just been like cockroaches trying to scoop up your
- 16:20Speaker 3: bookings and stuff. Because I'll admit I was like, ooh,
- 16:23Speaker 3: I would hop on that Adrian tour in Australia, but
- 16:26Speaker 3: it's a una date I want.
- 16:28Speaker 1: I wanted to defend his ACW championship.
- 16:31Speaker 3: I'm like, without Roski there, I can get me and
- 16:32Speaker 3: two of my friends in there to fill that spot.
- 16:35Speaker 3: Be the same somebody Adrian.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Somebody asked me for Broski's right, I said, two thousand
- 16:40Speaker 1: dollars less.
- 16:43Speaker 2: What a deal. Yeah, listen, it's unfortunate that, you know,
- 16:46Speaker 2: I had bookings up until the summer that had cancel.
- 16:48Speaker 2: But that's that's that's that's the rope the show business.
- 16:51Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's upset by it, right.
- 16:53Speaker 1: No, well, some some fans were trying to make a
- 16:56Speaker 1: joke up about it.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Yeah, well whatever, it doesn't bother me.
- 16:59Speaker 1: But I did, yeh, Ben Bishop.
- 17:02Speaker 2: That was actually a fun way should holiday all those guys. Uh,
- 17:08Speaker 2: but yeah, I listen, it was a hell of a ride.
- 17:10Speaker 2: And uh, it's a depth the five years on the Indies.
- 17:13Speaker 2: It's it's for the book. Like I couldn't I couldn't
- 17:15Speaker 2: summon up here. I couldn't sum it up in a
- 17:17Speaker 2: social media post. Uh you know, and I'll say this,
- 17:20Speaker 2: I I don't really want to do some some things
- 17:22Speaker 2: I want to keep close to the vest, you know.
- 17:24Speaker 2: But I will say this when I when I signed
- 17:27Speaker 2: my WW contract, which now everything's you know, you're not
- 17:30Speaker 2: actually signing paper, it's all you know on your phone whatever.
- 17:33Speaker 3: Oh my god, I can't even believe that I signed.
- 17:36Speaker 2: I signed it with my GCW title like on my lap,
- 17:39Speaker 2: you know, because it was over GCW. Then I wouldn't
- 17:42Speaker 2: be the the Indie God. If it wasn't for the
- 17:45Speaker 2: Indie God, I wouldn't be back in w W. A
- 17:47Speaker 2: I don't. I I firmly believe that. So when I
- 17:50Speaker 2: got fired, I looked at that picture of being my
- 17:53Speaker 2: dad Wrestle Media, and when I got rehired, I was
- 17:55Speaker 2: holding that GCW title. So I'm very sentimental like that,
- 17:58Speaker 2: you know, good thing marks, Just do you do that
- 18:00Speaker 2: match life?
- 18:03Speaker 1: I did suggest, I did suggest you have a match
- 18:06Speaker 1: with think two questions one yeah, uh do you think
- 18:13Speaker 1: that now you will have time to shit?
- 18:16Speaker 2: No? I think I'll actually have less time, really less time. Yeah.
- 18:22Speaker 2: I will say this also, like this month of December
- 18:25Speaker 2: has been the most stressful month of my life. Like
- 18:29Speaker 2: mental health is a real thing, bro Like Like not
- 18:32Speaker 2: that I didn't think it was real, but like I
- 18:33Speaker 2: never really experienced it.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Like this half had me and Mark a little stressed,
- 18:36Speaker 3: and I was stressed about nothing and.
- 18:38Speaker 2: I listen again, I'm not going to get into all
- 18:39Speaker 2: the details, but it was kind of like i'll tell
- 18:43Speaker 2: you exactly when. So after the SmackDown thing with La
- 18:46Speaker 2: and Night, that's kind of when the ball got rolling
- 18:49Speaker 2: right where there was like discussions like I will be
- 18:51Speaker 2: in touch blah blah blah, and Brent. I don't know
- 18:54Speaker 2: if you remember, we were at wrestle Kid and I
- 18:55Speaker 2: was at dinner like after we had the match, and
- 18:57Speaker 2: I left and I went and took a phone call
- 19:00Speaker 2: like I don't know if you remember that, but like
- 19:02Speaker 2: that's when like I got to like express martinis but
- 19:05Speaker 2: show like that's when I got the calling. Hey you
- 19:08Speaker 2: know we're interested, let's let's start talking. I was like,
- 19:11Speaker 2: oh boy, right here we go. So it was that
- 19:15Speaker 2: very stressful in a good way, right, like not bad stress, right,
- 19:18Speaker 2: but still like is this gonna happen? Is this not
- 19:20Speaker 2: gonna happen? Just the particulars all right, And then finally
- 19:25Speaker 2: signed Christmas week so it's like very sudden. Then it's
- 19:28Speaker 2: like okay, am, I zach Am, I Matt. So I'm
- 19:30Speaker 2: having both sets of gear made and designed.
- 19:33Speaker 3: My heart sank when I heard that.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Me too, because I knew that you only brought the
- 19:40Speaker 1: mad cardonah gear.
- 19:43Speaker 3: We need a fresh start. That's not a fresh start.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, I want to thank Downstate for the
- 19:48Speaker 2: years with that with that song, right, Uh, it was
- 19:51Speaker 2: time that you know, they wanted something fresh and I
- 19:54Speaker 2: actually dig the new music. Uh. I liked it. Yeah,
- 19:58Speaker 2: I liked it. I finished, which is awesome. Like I
- 20:01Speaker 2: like that that that slogan put on the T shirt
- 20:03Speaker 2: tt D, thank you for the T shirt. Yeah, but
- 20:06Speaker 2: man like that even even that day going to SmackDown
- 20:10Speaker 2: they smacked I was in Buffalo. I flew into Rochester,
- 20:14Speaker 2: so no one receive me at the airport, right, and
- 20:16Speaker 2: then I was hidden in the room all day. I'm like, oh,
- 20:19Speaker 2: this is like I just want to I just want
- 20:22Speaker 2: the news to be out there.
- 20:24Speaker 3: You know, I said I was the same way and
- 20:26Speaker 3: I have nothing really to do with it.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:28Speaker 1: And I also want my loose lips sterling moniker to
- 20:32Speaker 1: be eliminated, okay, because I did a good job here.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Yeah, so I was basically doing a mac cart on
- 20:39Speaker 3: a shooting interview yesterday at ken Con. Everybody nobody asked me.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Nobody asked me a goddamn question about myself.
- 20:46Speaker 1: This weekend we got on.
- 20:49Speaker 2: But yeah, the match was was was fun? Uh, kit
- 20:53Speaker 2: is is awesome to be That's a he's a pro wrestler.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Looks great, you the ring, great gimmick.
- 20:59Speaker 1: He great hip swivel on this guy? Yeah, is Joe
- 21:03Speaker 1: Shoe's seen him?
- 21:06Speaker 3: It's not rocking with well Rick books like that rockstar
- 21:09Speaker 3: guy was his favorite. Maybe it get's gonna be the
- 21:11Speaker 3: tickest place.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Well, he might be jealous because Shoes had the hip
- 21:15Speaker 1: swivel championship of the world.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Yeah, Shoes is toxic, so maybe And I will say, guys,
- 21:21Speaker 2: that stage is still slippery. By the way, I could
- 21:23Speaker 2: tell you're walking real slow to get past that slippery.
- 21:27Speaker 2: But guys, does this mean I'm back in the elite squad?
- 21:32Speaker 3: I don't understand how you couldn't be.
- 21:34Speaker 1: I have to assume that you are now the leader.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Of they should come crawling. Oh, are we gonna see
- 21:39Speaker 2: some has a partnership, So I'd be gladly there to
- 21:43Speaker 2: help you. Guys.
- 21:43Speaker 1: There's gotta be some video where you show up day one.
- 21:46Speaker 1: You're the new boss. You're telling you need to.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Come in like Ari Gold with a paintball gun and
- 21:51Speaker 2: be like here, I see you, Sam Roberts, get him.
- 21:59Speaker 3: Around the corn. Oh boy, Lakina was in Japan marking out,
- 22:05Speaker 3: and I think he thought he was in like a
- 22:07Speaker 3: fever dream, like he's upset. He's going to make a bill.
- 22:10Speaker 2: I said, all back. He finally responded, it took him
- 22:12Speaker 2: a while.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Oh geez, yeah, did you post that that was too
- 22:15Speaker 3: many stocky bombs?
- 22:18Speaker 2: But uh, here's the.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Other question, I hadsky. Has anyone ever okay, for example,
- 22:26Speaker 1: Scott Hall, he was he went to w CW, he
- 22:29Speaker 1: became Scott Hall, he came back to ww E as
- 22:33Speaker 1: Scott Hall. Has anybody ever left and reinvented themselves on
- 22:38Speaker 1: the indies and came back as their reinvention.
- 22:43Speaker 2: I saw you, I I heard you mention that on
- 22:45Speaker 2: silver linings, and I didn't even put that together, Like,
- 22:48Speaker 2: I don't know if that's I don't know if that
- 22:51Speaker 2: ever happened. Where you're saying strictly like indies.
- 22:54Speaker 3: I mean obviously Diesel Kevin Ash.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe a TNA person who like spent years in
- 23:02Speaker 1: TNA and like reinvent themselves or whatever the hell, but like,
- 23:05Speaker 1: you know, uh, you reinvented yourself so huge on independent
- 23:11Speaker 1: professional wrestling that they were like, nah, the more valuable
- 23:16Speaker 1: thing here is Mac Cordona, not Zach Ryder, the guy
- 23:18Speaker 1: that we we made years ago.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Again, I said that anything as possible.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Man.
- 23:23Speaker 3: You know, no is only no if you believe it
- 23:25Speaker 3: and stop trying, right.
- 23:26Speaker 2: And I said this before and people they I think
- 23:29Speaker 2: a lot of people thought it was like a shot
- 23:30Speaker 2: or but it was never meant as a shot when
- 23:32Speaker 2: I would say, WWE was my developmental but it taught
- 23:36Speaker 2: me everything I needed to thrive and succeed on the indies,
- 23:40Speaker 2: where I'm like, how come no one's doing this? How
- 23:42Speaker 2: Come no one's doing that? How Come no one knows
- 23:44Speaker 2: how to do like an interview? How come nobody could
- 23:47Speaker 2: talk in sound bites? How come nobody commission myself experience?
- 23:51Speaker 2: It's valuable stuff I learned in WWE. And then I
- 23:54Speaker 2: flipped the script and became what people what they loved
- 23:58Speaker 2: me for w I'm like, well, I'm gonna make them
- 23:59Speaker 2: hate me for that now, So like WWE set me
- 24:03Speaker 2: up for that indie run and then I just ran
- 24:05Speaker 2: with it, you know, and now back as Matt Cardona.
- 24:08Speaker 2: It's it's surreal, to be honest, Like I don't want
- 24:14Speaker 2: to say I don't I don't even know how to
- 24:15Speaker 2: describe it. It feels like it was just meant to
- 24:20Speaker 2: be where. It's like I don't feel like any difference,
- 24:22Speaker 2: Like Okay, I'm in w like that's what it was
- 24:24Speaker 2: supposed to happen, you know what I'm saying, right, Like,
- 24:27Speaker 2: of course I'm excited and I'm proud, but it's like, okay.
- 24:30Speaker 3: Well and then like we go, within a month or barely,
- 24:33Speaker 3: you'll be right back in the think of things and
- 24:35Speaker 3: just it is what it is. It's your job, you know.
- 24:38Speaker 2: I kind of feel that already, Like I feel like
- 24:40Speaker 2: this like this is maybe like now you have to say,
- 24:44Speaker 2: but I feel like I was meant to be here,
- 24:45Speaker 2: so like I just feel like it's part of the process,
- 24:47Speaker 2: you know. It's everyone has a different story and this
- 24:50Speaker 2: is just part of my roller coaster ride. And I
- 24:53Speaker 2: love roller coaster as you guys know that at the
- 24:55Speaker 2: universe baby coming up.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Holy smokes, and to put button on this, uh going
- 25:00Speaker 1: Forward to the Future podcast every Monday, live podcast audio
- 25:06Speaker 1: drops every Friday, podcast video drops every Saturday. We will
- 25:10Speaker 1: try to have a vlog every Monday on the YouTube channel.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Broski will still be doing figureuts. Everything on Patreon stays.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Yeah. The answer the questions everyone was asking, the podcast
- 25:24Speaker 2: is safe, Major is safe? Guys, Well, you know, maybe
- 25:28Speaker 2: sometimes there'll be some scheduling issues, but we've never missed
- 25:31Speaker 2: a week ever. We're gonna say a lot of people
- 25:33Speaker 2: asking me about live shows, I mean, that's the only
- 25:37Speaker 2: thing with scheduling, right, I literally said, I think it's
- 25:39Speaker 2: just a schedule permitting thing. And I also said, worst case,
- 25:44Speaker 2: I'm especially in our new format, Mark and I can
- 25:48Speaker 2: certainly handle a guest in an interview and a meet
- 25:51Speaker 2: and greet. And then if someone named mac Ardona comes
- 25:54Speaker 2: to said location to hang out after, right, no one's
- 25:58Speaker 2: gonna stop that, you know. Yeah, it's just a scheduling thing.
- 26:01Speaker 2: And and and someone just he Cruizes wrote this. I
- 26:04Speaker 2: gotta say it because I know it's Bride's favorite quota
- 26:06Speaker 2: vide is that this whole journey was never about proving
- 26:09Speaker 2: people wrong. It's about proving myself that Joe Jo Shoes
- 26:18Speaker 2: is what it was really. I mean, I was hearing it,
- 26:20Speaker 2: and then he said, I'm like, yeah, bro, I've heard
- 26:22Speaker 2: that one a lot. See that's something I learned in WWE.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Is how you talking sound bites? You know what I'm saying?
- 26:27Speaker 3: You know, like that clip a couple of months ago
- 26:30Speaker 3: is going around of Regal doing U manga and it
- 26:32Speaker 3: was like ninety seconds worth.
- 26:34Speaker 2: You probably get like a good you one like Van
- 26:36Speaker 2: Vliet and everything. Ariel Hawani would be like the same
- 26:40Speaker 2: if someone myself.
- 26:43Speaker 3: Wrong, rude myself ro.
- 26:46Speaker 1: I also want somebody to cut together a highlight video
- 26:50Speaker 1: of all the times that babyface chanted chicken to you,
- 26:55Speaker 1: just like a whole yeah get it and then you.
- 26:58Speaker 3: Go check, how are you gonna wrestle without the Internet
- 27:01Speaker 3: title and hold people up and they duck and you
- 27:04Speaker 3: hit the wrong.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Out at the belt. That happened. I so not that
- 27:08Speaker 2: I've retired. I'm still the Internet Champion, but it's it
- 27:10Speaker 2: came out of my gear bag, you know. And I said,
- 27:13Speaker 2: I have a permanent place in the new toy room
- 27:16Speaker 2: office with the old Internet title.
- 27:18Speaker 3: But the old inner time it might be new again.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Maybe Michelle makes the new Internet title with my new figure.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Who knows, I don't know. But guys, thank you so
- 27:30Speaker 2: much for support. I'm back Jack. Oh look at Chelsea,
- 27:33Speaker 2: Chelsea Green. I'll tell you what. She is not happy.
- 27:37Speaker 2: I don't know if we're gonna ride together, guys, Like, honestly,
- 27:41Speaker 2: for your marriage, I don't think you should. That's too
- 27:43Speaker 2: much time together. I'm honestly, I don't know if we're
- 27:45Speaker 2: gonna ride together or travel together.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Like like I said, I'm literally suggesting you don't because
- 27:49Speaker 3: I feel like that's too much time together.
- 27:51Speaker 2: So like, for instance, like I flew into like I said,
- 27:54Speaker 2: I flew into Rochester, not Buffalo. So by the time
- 27:56Speaker 2: I got to the hotel room, it was like little
- 27:58Speaker 2: after one o'clock. And I had to wake her up
- 28:01Speaker 2: because I needed to get tanned because I couldn't get
- 28:03Speaker 2: a tan because the day before was New Year's Day,
- 28:06Speaker 2: tanning salon closed barber shop clothes, So she had to
- 28:10Speaker 2: tan my back like one in the morning. Ship like that. Yeah,
- 28:14Speaker 2: And then after the after SmackDown, I'm you know, I'm celebrating.
- 28:17Speaker 2: You know, Cody invites me on the bus for for
- 28:19Speaker 2: a cocktail. Chelsea's back, let's go. I couldn't even had
- 28:22Speaker 2: to chug the old fashion I couldn't even enjoy knock
- 28:31Speaker 2: it on the bus door.

- 28:57Speaker 3: new Morgan shirt, so nothing is shipped yet.
- 28:59Speaker 2: I don't know. And I will say this is ttd's
- 29:03Speaker 2: first time designing a Matt Cardona WW shirt. He's done
- 29:08Speaker 2: a lot of Matt Cordona shirts. First time with the
- 29:13Speaker 2: WW shirts with thank you, TTD. I love you, know
- 29:16Speaker 2: Ryan Rick Michaels who made the gear, like you guys.
- 29:21Speaker 2: Oh without you, I don't know where I'd be working
- 29:23Speaker 2: so fast around the clock. You know, appreciate it, like
- 29:27Speaker 2: maybe my gear was falling apart a little bit because
- 29:29Speaker 2: Rick made it in twenty four hours, but it came.
- 29:31Speaker 2: It came, Thank you, guys. I love all you. Major
- 29:35Speaker 2: marks And as that Hogan bashing brawler says, I'm back, Jack.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Nate Mean says they saw Matt label as an all
- 29:43Speaker 1: rounder on his cage match, so they had to rehire.
- 29:46Speaker 3: Definitely perfect over the edge. They were, they were iffy,
- 29:50Speaker 3: but then they read your cage match right, we should
- 29:51Speaker 3: bring him back. Guys, you missed the first ever ken
- 29:56Speaker 3: con cancel con. Uh what a time. Holy smokes Limbrook,
- 30:01Speaker 3: New York. That little piece of shit Dylan postel No showed.
- 30:05Speaker 1: I can't believe that, he said, the.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Only you tell the story.
- 30:10Speaker 3: He's he's telling me that in Appleton, Wisconsin, where his
- 30:15Speaker 3: ass flies out of that the d icer broke and
- 30:17Speaker 3: that's the only one they had where it's freezing pretty
- 30:20Speaker 3: much ten months out of the air. The d icer
- 30:22Speaker 3: was broken, delayed the whole airport by two three plus hours.
- 30:26Speaker 3: He said he'd never make it. Went back home.
- 30:30Speaker 2: But uh, I can.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Believe that because Hartford only has one d icer and
- 30:33Speaker 1: that's a much bigger city.
- 30:35Speaker 2: I don't get how he was a W superstar. He's
- 30:38Speaker 2: now WW legend, but he travels every single weekend. How
- 30:41Speaker 2: do you live in an airport that is so like.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Because he's always I mean, he's gonna connect no matter what,
- 30:48Speaker 3: to Detroit or Atlanta and then start where he's really going.
- 30:50Speaker 1: I mean, but he can also drive to Milwaukee and
- 30:53Speaker 1: just get it direct.
- 30:54Speaker 3: That's ninety minutes, and I know that I do that
- 30:57Speaker 3: every week. I'm just saying it's not like fun bro.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Anyway, I can extra ten minutes of the airport now
- 31:02Speaker 2: in this new house is by the way, I'm in
- 31:04Speaker 2: the new house, guys. The toy room is not set up,
- 31:07Speaker 2: but I'm in my kitchen right now. For those watching,
- 31:10Speaker 2: how long do you project that set up to be? Months?
- 31:14Speaker 2: Maybe years? I've calculated, so everything is packed, So I
- 31:20Speaker 2: just I just I need a day or two to
- 31:22Speaker 2: bring it over and then who knows. Then then maybe
- 31:25Speaker 2: I'll do Star Wars. It may be two weeks to
- 31:28Speaker 2: do Star Wars, two weeks to do Turtle because it's
- 31:32Speaker 2: got at least summertime. But I want to have the
- 31:34Speaker 2: office in there, the desk in there. At least I
- 31:36Speaker 2: can start doing the pod in there. I don't like
- 31:37Speaker 2: doing it in my kitchen counter. Yeah.
- 31:39Speaker 1: My first thing if I were you, my first thing

- 32:56Speaker 3: I could not freaking believe. And then I watched a
- 32:59Speaker 3: couple of inn and then that song is a Christmas song.
- 33:03Speaker 3: It was meant for a Christmas album, but he didn't

- 33:25Speaker 3: have to reach out to my teena contexts like the
- 33:28Speaker 3: Sick Venue in the hard Rock which I guess used
- 33:31Speaker 3: to be the trump.
- 33:34Speaker 2: For us. No, it's dude, it's like that, not in
- 33:38Speaker 2: that venue, just a different room in the.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Oh for sure, for sure, for sure. Yeah, beautiful, very nice.
- 33:44Speaker 3: But on the way there, I was like, hmm, this
- 33:47Speaker 3: will only add barely thirty minutes of the trip. I said,
- 33:50Speaker 3: we got to stop Yes, SHA's Steaks, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Missus
- 33:56Speaker 3: Myers got to meet the infamous Scott What a legend
- 34:01Speaker 3: and right there.
- 34:02Speaker 2: He handed it to me. My card. Look at this thing,
- 34:07Speaker 2: v IP professional. Look at card v v I.
- 34:12Speaker 3: P Unlimited cheese Steaks for Life signed on the back.
- 34:18Speaker 3: I have a Matt Cardona one here to share with you.
- 34:21Speaker 3: Oh my god, put that in the mail. Just an
- 34:24Speaker 3: awesome time even. I mean, obviously everyone's impressed when they
- 34:27Speaker 3: go to their LIS. Was like blown away. Just the
- 34:31Speaker 3: most delicious goddamn things on earth. They're not leaving like
- 34:34Speaker 3: the call of a cheese steak is like doing an injustice. No,
- 34:38Speaker 3: because people think of chees stack. Is it's not that
- 34:40Speaker 3: like I love that you love it?
- 34:42Speaker 2: Because usually when I tell you I love something, you
- 34:44Speaker 2: don't enjoy it.
- 34:47Speaker 3: I mean, I think something would have to be wrong
- 34:49Speaker 3: with you to not. I mean it would be like
- 34:52Speaker 3: a vegan or something where you just can't have this item,
- 34:55Speaker 3: Like if you didn't like if you have taste buds
- 34:58Speaker 3: and you didn't like this, I'd be pretty spurt disturbed.
- 35:00Speaker 2: We got it. We got a shout out herm the worm.
- 35:02Speaker 2: He was the one who found this.
- 35:04Speaker 3: Scott. He told the whole story to Liz. I told
- 35:06Speaker 3: this story. He goes like this guy. We had to
- 35:10Speaker 3: close down. We were telling so much. And then I
- 35:11Speaker 3: look and this guy's waiting outside of the line. It
- 35:13Speaker 3: was it was Cardona, but he had no idea who
- 35:15Speaker 3: I was.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Right. I was just waiting patiently because I'm a respectable
- 35:19Speaker 2: human being, you know. I wasn't knocking down the door.
- 35:22Speaker 3: Man, just wait. But just unbelievable shout out to him.
- 35:25Speaker 3: I mean it was like so freaking good. Great time.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Google also were great. I'm glad we saw him. I
- 35:29Speaker 3: don't realized how old they were. I'm glad I saw him. Uh,
- 35:32Speaker 3: they're kind of doing a I told this this is
- 35:34Speaker 3: kind of like one for me, one for you they
- 35:36Speaker 3: were doing with their songs. But it's still cool to
- 35:38Speaker 3: see some of those, like you know, Iris and name
- 35:40Speaker 3: like timeless ones that you know it's cool to see live.
- 35:43Speaker 3: But uh, when he goes this song came out on
- 35:45Speaker 3: her album this year, and everyone's going, what why? But
- 35:51Speaker 3: great time? And then Ken con awesome. Uh Ken announced
- 35:55Speaker 3: another one guys. Uh, I got that in the blog too.
- 35:58Speaker 3: Coming up. It's in May. He's to do another one
- 36:00Speaker 3: and he's already headlining it with Kurt Angle. So definitely success.
- 36:04Speaker 3: Definitely a fun way to you know, meet people in
- 36:07Speaker 3: a more intimate setting too, you know what I mean.
- 36:09Speaker 3: It's not like an overwhelming con. It's like a mini con.
- 36:13Speaker 3: A great time. And then best of all, I got
- 36:16Speaker 3: to spend the weekend one of my best friends, Tyson
- 36:18Speaker 3: Kid aka t J Wilson, slept over did a like
- 36:22Speaker 3: sold out seminar at Creative pro freaking I mean forty

- 36:31Speaker 3: two hours, took questions, we had another two hours of
- 36:34Speaker 3: matches were there, you know, endlessly. Bailey ww Superstar even
- 36:38Speaker 3: popped in to listen and hang out. And the other
- 36:42Speaker 3: fun highlight for me as a dad, I was able
- 36:43Speaker 3: to get McKenzie's Bailey figure sign that she was super
- 36:47Speaker 3: pumped for us. We got to hang that one up
- 36:49Speaker 3: on the wall and her collection and we kind of
- 36:51Speaker 3: had just you can kind of see in the background
- 36:52Speaker 3: there we like redid her a little rat. She's got
- 36:55Speaker 3: a lot of really great signed figures now Paled poster
- 36:58Speaker 3: huh Chelsea poster.
- 37:01Speaker 2: Yeah, that's up too. And I hung the money in
- 37:03Speaker 2: the bank. You can see there it's hanging from a
- 37:05Speaker 2: chain like in real life. I like that.
- 37:07Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really cool, so great, just a great you know,
- 37:11Speaker 3: And honestly that even started with watching you guys like
- 37:13Speaker 3: Liz actually had a girl's night and obviously I knew
- 37:16Speaker 3: to tune into SmackDown, so I watched that with the girls.
- 37:19Speaker 3: They were much more excited about the the female eight
- 37:22Speaker 3: man tag prior to your match than your match, but
- 37:26Speaker 3: just a great like.
- 37:28Speaker 2: Or what what's that?
- 37:29Speaker 1: Did they pop when he came out?
- 37:31Speaker 3: No, I mean they don't. They're so wound up with
- 37:35Speaker 3: the girls like they could care less about guys.
- 37:37Speaker 1: I said that to Iris this morning. I said, did
- 37:39Speaker 1: you hear about Matt And he said, what is he? Okay?
- 37:43Speaker 1: Is he okay?
- 37:44Speaker 2: Okay?
- 37:49Speaker 4: Right?
- 37:50Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I was saying, just a great wrestling filled weekend,
- 37:54Speaker 3: but like just positive vibes, you know what I mean.
- 37:56Speaker 3: When ken Con was in such a great ken com
- 37:58Speaker 3: was like a what not swap beat kept saying, I
- 38:00Speaker 3: love it, dude, Die Jack is and whatnot? Guy now
- 38:02Speaker 3: was trading stuff with him, really stuff, dude, It's just
- 38:06Speaker 3: oh man.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Oh wait, hold on, let me tell you I did
- 38:09Speaker 1: Dan Barry's final match.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Oh how was it? Uh?
- 38:13Speaker 1: Not great? But you know, let let's we'll just move
- 38:16Speaker 1: on from that.
- 38:19Speaker 2: It was on New Year's Eve does get into but
- 38:21Speaker 2: he did tell me off air that they brosk they
- 38:23Speaker 2: miss timed the match and the ball dropped in the
- 38:26Speaker 2: middle of it a little bit. What wait, someone went
- 38:32Speaker 2: over their time, miss tied whatever the hell they were
- 38:35Speaker 2: trying to do. And yeah, the whole show, what was
- 38:37Speaker 2: supposed to happen versus what happened?
- 38:40Speaker 1: Well, we were the second to last match, so we're
- 38:43Speaker 1: supposed to end. Dan does a speech. There's about five
- 38:47Speaker 1: minutes they do ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four
- 38:50Speaker 1: through to one. The ball drops, and then the main event,
- 38:52Speaker 1: Cruel versus Bronson comes out. Okay, that always happens. Ball drops,
- 38:57Speaker 1: everyone goes nuts. The hardcore guy come out to have
- 39:00Speaker 1: a sick match.
- 39:01Speaker 2: So you're telling me that the match before went over
- 39:03Speaker 2: their time, like the whole show went over the right,
- 39:06Speaker 2: but specifically that that second and last match they knew
- 39:09Speaker 2: how much time they had, they decided to just get
- 39:12Speaker 2: their shit in instead everybody did.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Yeah, even Art even.
- 39:15Speaker 2: But I'm talking about that last match that was us.
- 39:18Speaker 2: Oh so it was your fault.
- 39:19Speaker 3: The Dan Barry Matt, I mean the.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Dan Barry retirement match, his last match with eight people.
- 39:26Speaker 1: To be totally honest, our match did not go over time,
- 39:30Speaker 1: but we started. We just started late. That's the brople. Well, yes,
- 39:33Speaker 1: but we suld have cut. That's so unfortunate. I know,
- 39:37Speaker 1: I know that's so unfortunate. But it's it's tough. It's like, hey, Dan,
- 39:41Speaker 1: you know this year, last match, you've been building this.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Oh man, I love Dan Dan. Oh my god, I
- 39:46Speaker 2: love Dan. I wish I would have wrestled him in
- 39:48Speaker 2: this that last run.

- 46:36Speaker 3: we shoot fired him way before that because he's no fun.
- 46:41Speaker 1: I almost mentioned that on Silver Linings today, but oh
- 46:44Speaker 1: my god, that's too far into the weeds.
- 46:45Speaker 4: Right.
- 46:46Speaker 2: Anyways, let's tale.
- 46:47Speaker 1: Ironic part to it. But yeah, super fun. Plus I
- 46:51Speaker 1: definitely had garage beers over the holidays. Brought a couple
- 46:55Speaker 1: with me to Dan Barry's last match there.
- 46:57Speaker 3: I'm going to stock that house in Orlando though, party

- 47:01Speaker 2: Wait all right, guys, Big news week, a lot of
- 47:06Speaker 2: cool stuff you guys ready for this? Uh a little
- 47:10Speaker 2: controversial Deep South alumni Angelina Love coming out with superstars
- 47:17Speaker 2: scammers Angelina Love and Fodder. Now these are clearly like CGI,
- 47:22Speaker 2: so I wasn't sure if these are real AI. I
- 47:25Speaker 2: inquired these are you know, it's just concept art like
- 47:28Speaker 2: we do. We do renders as well, right right, right right,
- 47:30Speaker 2: these are actual figures and they're coming uh this spring
- 47:34Speaker 2: pre order February twenty twenty six, Angelaue Love and Sycondboy Fodder. Listen,
- 47:38Speaker 2: anybody who's taking a chance on themselves and betting on
- 47:40Speaker 2: themselves and making their own problem.
- 47:41Speaker 3: This I've been preaching this week that what they're doing
- 47:44Speaker 3: is this confirmed. Yeah, this is they're they're making their
- 47:46Speaker 3: own thing. So this isn't even like a new company
- 47:50Speaker 3: that just has them signed. This is them doing something.
- 47:53Speaker 2: I was in then impression that they're starting their own
- 47:55Speaker 2: company and we'll be signing up. Maybe I'm wrong. Oh,
- 47:58Speaker 2: don't quote me on that either way. Whether it's a
- 48:00Speaker 2: new company or it's their company, it's new figures out there,
- 48:03Speaker 2: a new figure form, and she's just kind of retro esque,
- 48:06Speaker 2: looks like, yes, well she looks more zombie. Listen, I'm
- 48:12Speaker 2: excited to see it, and and I like people who
- 48:15Speaker 2: are taking who take a chance on themselves.
- 48:17Speaker 1: Of course, that packaging is perfect is purposely retro, if
- 48:21Speaker 1: you see.
- 48:22Speaker 2: But it's it's more it's more like a rectangle. It's
- 48:24Speaker 2: supposed like a square. So that's why I didn't think
- 48:26Speaker 2: it was Hasbro esque either way, even it looks different.
- 48:31Speaker 3: It looks and it will signed, you know, I can tell.
- 48:34Speaker 2: Yeah, so from from from that, I can't say anything
- 48:37Speaker 2: negative about it. So we see, time will tell on
- 48:41Speaker 2: something like this.
- 48:43Speaker 3: This is just so early you can't even.
- 48:45Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, it's too it's too early.
- 48:47Speaker 3: I'd also suggested some kind of jay hook or something.
- 48:52Speaker 2: Yes, yes, good, good call on that.
- 48:54Speaker 3: If anyone hasn't caught that.
- 48:56Speaker 2: Title Run Toys showing off Nikita cole off. This is
- 48:59Speaker 2: a one of three hundred. This is gonna fly, I think.
- 49:04Speaker 2: And then okay, I'm sorry. There's two versions. Is the
- 49:07Speaker 2: the first one and then a one of three hundred version. Okay,
- 49:09Speaker 2: I understand. Title Run Toys really up and up there,
- 49:14Speaker 2: up and up stepping up the good one, and uh,
- 49:18Speaker 2: I don't think this will fit my collection. I want
- 49:21Speaker 2: him a big rubber guy. We had some collect we
- 49:23Speaker 2: had some talk, we had some talk confirm. I know
- 49:27Speaker 2: a lot of fans want him, We want him as well.
- 49:29Speaker 2: He fits the big rubber guy time period perfectly for
- 49:31Speaker 2: what we're trying to do. This figure looks great, but
- 49:34Speaker 2: I'm just making some cuts with my retros and he
- 49:35Speaker 2: doesn't quite fit the time period I'm talking about. But
- 49:40Speaker 2: the next the next guy, Hastel Toys has a lot
- 49:43Speaker 2: of stuff, like a lot of stuff here now. According
- 49:48Speaker 2: to d Freedom's notes, he has like all these like
- 49:51Speaker 2: weird names. So just put up the pictures and we'll
- 49:53Speaker 2: talk about it. You know, you know what de operates.
- 49:55Speaker 2: But this is Xanta Claus. This is great ak.
- 49:58Speaker 3: Balls mahoney for those the no, this is.
- 50:01Speaker 1: Sometimes I see these things. Yes, it just makes me
- 50:04Speaker 1: want to do another FWF so badly.
- 50:08Speaker 3: I mean, there's so many retro companies making so many
- 50:10Speaker 3: figures that that concept would be nutty at this point.
- 50:16Speaker 2: The options we'd have right right, So not that I
- 50:19Speaker 2: want to do an FWF, I'm just saying.
- 50:21Speaker 1: I kind of kind of sold you a little bit
- 50:23Speaker 1: on boozing.
- 50:26Speaker 2: Your vision is interesting. I'll say that I do like this.
- 50:30Speaker 2: This is the holiday ninety five edition. How many Xanta
- 50:34Speaker 2: Claus appearances were there? I think, like, wo right, this
- 50:38Speaker 2: is the top shelf Troy question, remember it? What about Brooklyn?
- 50:43Speaker 2: Brawler looks good? Sweet? Now we know Brawler was signed
- 50:48Speaker 2: by Zombie Sailor. But is there something in his hand?
- 50:51Speaker 2: In his hand? I don't. I can't tell.
- 50:53Speaker 1: No, it's a fist.
- 50:55Speaker 2: It looks good. I can't hit on it one bit.
- 50:58Speaker 2: I think it looks good. I'll to my collection for sure.
- 51:01Speaker 3: Yeah, and he fits it to me. If it's the
- 51:03Speaker 3: time period, it would be fun to have. Next up,
- 51:06Speaker 3: we have Bashian Burger. I just feel like burying Brawler
- 51:12Speaker 3: for fun. Do you know Brawler? I heard from a
- 51:14Speaker 3: couple of people this weekend. He tells people he's the
- 51:16Speaker 3: best selling We growb a guy of all time. And
- 51:19Speaker 3: I said, I said, I did a virtual this week.
- 51:22Speaker 3: I said, that couldn't be further from the truth.
- 51:25Speaker 2: I don't know if it's I don't know if it's
- 51:26Speaker 2: that extreme. But he's not the best seller. He's not
- 51:29Speaker 2: even the top ten. So Bashian Burger here with the
- 51:35Speaker 2: with the food fun. But I'm going to keep my
- 51:37Speaker 2: my zombie, I think, you know. Yeah, so there's two additions.
- 51:42Speaker 2: I don't well, let's friar Ferguson. This is a big
- 51:46Speaker 2: hard pass for me.
- 51:48Speaker 1: I don't even know who that is.
- 51:50Speaker 3: It's it's it was the gimmick before they pivoted and
- 51:53Speaker 3: made Himbashian burger.
- 51:54Speaker 1: I didn't even know that that was yea, and it.
- 51:56Speaker 2: Only again like Xanta Claus style two or three appearances.
- 52:02Speaker 2: It's a cut, but there's there's a market for the deep.
- 52:04Speaker 3: Cuts, right, of course, this is actually the one I
- 52:07Speaker 3: would want, and the other one I would keep, the zombie.
- 52:09Speaker 1: But yeah, well I don't even know what this is,
- 52:11Speaker 1: but I'm certainly going to look it up now. And
- 52:13Speaker 1: I would also add this to my collection just for
- 52:15Speaker 1: the weirdness of it.
- 52:16Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one hundred per skip for me. The
- 52:21Speaker 2: next one, though, how you really feel Kyle Peterson's cousin,
- 52:25Speaker 2: Darryl Peters. Oh shit, it looks good. I think this
- 52:29Speaker 2: is a fun one. It's fun.
- 52:31Speaker 3: And again another guy. Man, this guy did not have
- 52:33Speaker 3: a lot of matches, but.
- 52:35Speaker 2: It you know, just I don't want to use word iconic,
- 52:38Speaker 2: but if you were a fan during this this dark
- 52:41Speaker 2: time man's.
- 52:46Speaker 3: It stinks that he can't do the guitar, and I'm
- 52:49Speaker 3: actually shocked Mitch didn't just do it because he's Mitch.
- 52:52Speaker 3: But the guitar was like everything. I know, the real guitar,
- 52:56Speaker 3: not that fictional guitar that the figures holding.
- 52:59Speaker 2: Yeah, what about Tom Brandy. I think Tom's a must
- 53:02Speaker 2: for me. This is perfect Tom Brandy to me, I
- 53:07Speaker 2: could have could have got an early bone cruncher or
- 53:10Speaker 2: I mean it wasn't a big enough star, but like
- 53:12Speaker 2: was to me. It's kind of that that time period
- 53:14Speaker 2: you know, Oh, you mean Salsand's here. I think, yeah, nah,
- 53:19Speaker 2: because all those guys come like Summer ninety six and
- 53:22Speaker 2: that's series one.
- 53:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you. Then it just wouldn't ever happened.
- 53:27Speaker 1: That's fun, though, the man that ruined the blitz Creek
- 53:29Speaker 1: pro Rumble in twenty nineteen because he didn't give a
- 53:32Speaker 1: fuck about what anybody else was doing and walked in
- 53:34Speaker 1: and did whatever.
- 53:34Speaker 3: The hey, Dom Brandy probably still works three days a week.
- 53:39Speaker 3: You don't know where the shows are and they barely
- 53:40Speaker 3: have flyers, but he's working.
- 53:42Speaker 2: This one is so cool. It's the the Ahmed Johnson.
- 53:48Speaker 2: It's just like to me, I don't need this because
- 53:50Speaker 2: like this in my mind is like a bone cruncher
- 53:53Speaker 2: era the same.
- 53:54Speaker 3: It's a it's an added value fun thing.
- 53:56Speaker 2: But yeah, I need this if it's a passer for me.
- 54:02Speaker 1: I love it.
- 54:03Speaker 3: Very cool comic because he was in the crowd.
- 54:06Speaker 1: This I this is a weird thing. I think I
- 54:09Speaker 1: might like this better than the zombie.
- 54:13Speaker 2: It looks good.
- 54:14Speaker 3: I'm not saying the figure doesn't look figure looks good.
- 54:16Speaker 3: It's unbelievable, very is not even that's got to be
- 54:20Speaker 3: so fake. Like I don't even think that photo exists.
- 54:22Speaker 2: It could be him like walking to the ring, like
- 54:24Speaker 2: a screen.
- 54:24Speaker 3: Shot, but I don't think there is a photo of
- 54:26Speaker 3: him wearing the pads.
- 54:28Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's what I'm saying. I think it's just
- 54:29Speaker 2: like a screen grip of an entrance. I don't think
- 54:32Speaker 2: it's He is.
- 54:34Speaker 1: Shaking his head like yeah, kind of hes probably making
- 54:38Speaker 1: fun of the photoshot ilegality of it.
- 54:41Speaker 2: Probably four sergeant you know, you know Paul's loving this deal.
- 54:45Speaker 2: Four Sergeant slaughters you know. Sorry, first, mahoney, here we go. Cool.
- 54:56Speaker 2: I again, I don't think I'm gonna get it. What
- 54:59Speaker 2: I don't because I'm making some cuts to my retros.
- 55:02Speaker 1: I don't know if the East balls freaking money.
- 55:04Speaker 3: Yeah, but he has no ww F ties like at
- 55:08Speaker 3: this time. It doesn't really if that's the way you're collecting,
- 55:10Speaker 3: it doesn't make sense. But yeah, yeah, are you gonna
- 55:12Speaker 3: get a Brian for ECW? I think I kind of
- 55:14Speaker 3: just because he's an EACW gun and he doesn't have
- 55:15Speaker 3: a lot of stuff.
- 55:16Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it's unbelievable.
- 55:18Speaker 2: Uh, Sergeant Slaughter a General add Nod from Spring ninety one.
- 55:21Speaker 2: It's so fun. I mean, these are very very cool.
- 55:25Speaker 2: There there are so many sergeants coming. I got to
- 55:27Speaker 2: pick and shoes, so I don't know which one. I'm
- 55:29Speaker 2: I'm gonna go a Tupac Ski too. I didn't realize
- 55:31Speaker 2: that Sergeant add Nod. There's also the Sergeant Slaughter Fall
- 55:35Speaker 2: ninety edition. I'm gonna I'm gonna pass on that, you know,
- 55:40Speaker 2: like it's cool too. It's cool though I can't I
- 55:43Speaker 2: can't hate it. And then there's a serge and add
- 55:47Speaker 2: Nod Winter ninety edition. Maybe that's maybe I do that
- 55:52Speaker 2: and not the other two pack. I don't need. I
- 55:54Speaker 2: don't need two two packs tell you that.
- 55:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm feeling you on that too.
- 55:58Speaker 2: Maybe this is the one I go with.
- 56:00Speaker 1: I need them all.
- 56:02Speaker 2: And then the Sergeant Slaughter throwback edition that's eighties like
- 56:08Speaker 2: g I Joe s Sorge. That's cool. Oh god, Uh
- 56:14Speaker 2: that's his best like aesthetically, that's his best packaging a
- 56:18Speaker 2: long time.
- 56:18Speaker 1: Though it makes the g nott as bad.
- 56:21Speaker 3: Yeah it does.
- 56:23Speaker 1: Wow, that looks great. Uh?
- 56:26Speaker 3: What was it coming from? He was like on Instagram.
- 56:29Speaker 3: I tried to watch this when I got home like
- 56:30Speaker 3: late from like ken Con, and it's just like he
- 56:33Speaker 3: was just rambling and never showed one thing and I
- 56:35Speaker 3: tapped it.
- 56:35Speaker 1: Was I always do.
- 56:36Speaker 2: That's why D works for us and gets all these Ye.
- 56:39Speaker 2: You gotta give D a bon for sitting through all
- 56:41Speaker 2: the actual information.
- 56:42Speaker 1: It's appointment viewing for D. Yeah, schedule, he cannot wait.
- 56:47Speaker 3: It's like the way you guys get excited for Stranger things.
- 56:49Speaker 3: Just excited for Mitch exactly.
- 56:51Speaker 2: And Marker Craven Shader things, craving this.
- 56:57Speaker 1: He's on. He's on the Grapplers and Gimmicks Reddit talking.
- 57:01Speaker 2: He's deep in the weeds.
- 57:03Speaker 1: What refresh my memory? What do we have for retros
- 57:06Speaker 1: for Slaughter right now.
- 57:07Speaker 2: Out just the Hasbro, because he just the Hasbro.
- 57:10Speaker 3: He the whole time we were just showing these. I'm like, wow,
- 57:14Speaker 3: Mitch really pulled a fast food on a zombie here.
- 57:17Speaker 2: I don't think he pulled a fast one. I think
- 57:18Speaker 2: like or whatever, like beat him do it. However you
- 57:21Speaker 2: want to look like he beat him to it, that's
- 57:22Speaker 2: for sure.
- 57:22Speaker 1: Zombie has a sergeant Slaughter coming out. No, okay, okay, okay, now.
- 57:29Speaker 2: Showed off his regime. We have raven. To me, this
- 57:32Speaker 2: looks horrible.
- 57:34Speaker 1: Got to assume there's some sort of soft good jacket.
- 57:36Speaker 3: It needs more love. The jeans need like the wash
- 57:39Speaker 3: that like the goblins had, and maybe maybe we'll get there.
- 57:43Speaker 1: Yeah, and with a leather jacket and maybe some highlights
- 57:45Speaker 1: in the hair that improves a.
- 57:47Speaker 3: Big Believe it or not, he showed us this in
- 57:49Speaker 3: person that has a logo on the shirt. I'm like, dude,
- 57:52Speaker 3: you gotta do something different than that, or pick something different.
- 57:56Speaker 3: It's so tiny, al snow.
- 58:00Speaker 1: The face was good.
- 58:02Speaker 2: I just I don't dig. These straps are too thick.
- 58:06Speaker 2: They don't seem premium to me. But we'll see. Maybe
- 58:10Speaker 2: this is just protos.
- 58:12Speaker 3: The straps are too thick on that single the top
- 58:13Speaker 3: and the bikers are too long, right.
- 58:16Speaker 1: But just keep in mind holding the godwins in our hands.
- 58:18Speaker 1: They were great.
- 58:19Speaker 2: Right.
- 58:19Speaker 3: So I'm just visually critiquing what I'm seeing. You know,
- 58:23Speaker 3: I know it's not a finished product.
- 58:26Speaker 2: I'm Ed Johnson. Yeah, okay, I like this. That looks awesome. Actually,
- 58:32Speaker 2: I face looks awesome. I can't hate on this one bit.
- 58:36Speaker 2: And then the brothers Jacques and Ray this is fine, yeah,
- 58:41Speaker 2: not bad. Okay. So we have Epic toys showing off
- 58:45Speaker 2: their killer Bees one of eight hundred. These look awesome. Wow,
- 58:50Speaker 2: so the package looks awesome with that lightning bolt.
- 58:53Speaker 3: But these are more they already did bees. These are
- 58:55Speaker 3: more bees.
- 58:55Speaker 2: Yeah, these are different bees with the jackets. The previous
- 58:58Speaker 2: bees had the masks on. These, the headbands and the
- 59:01Speaker 2: jackets look cool. Not for me, but look cool. And
- 59:05Speaker 2: then a series five Ronnie Garvin, which might be for me.
- 59:09Speaker 2: I might shabble this Ronnie Garvin, I mean, yeah, he's
- 59:12Speaker 2: right there, he's right there.
- 59:15Speaker 3: Do they just have him stomp out your mark sterling
- 59:18Speaker 3: heels and faces?
- 59:19Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 59:20Speaker 3: Deep cut people.
- 59:21Speaker 1: I've worked with shelf.
- 59:25Speaker 2: Zombie Sailor Toys showed off his Chris Candido. I had
- 59:29Speaker 2: this in my hands at Ken Con. Guys. I love
- 59:34Speaker 2: this and listen, I know it's just a painted on single,
- 59:37Speaker 2: but that's what Hasbro.
- 59:37Speaker 3: That's what Hasbro would have done. Anyway, it's sweet, and
- 59:41Speaker 3: actually he did. He doesn't have the Triple Threat hand
- 59:44Speaker 3: so if you think about it's different.
- 59:45Speaker 2: He switched the hand out, yeah, because the other one
- 59:47Speaker 2: had the you know, the Triple Threat sign YEP. Folco
- 59:51Speaker 2: Collectibles show us some really cool things. The d X
- 59:54Speaker 2: tank Invasion. This is fun. Wow, all five on there too.
- 59:59Speaker 2: This is really really cool. So it's Triple A's China
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: Road Dog XPOCT Billy Gun. I mean, who doesn't remember this,
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: this epic invasion of Nitro. I've been loving this stuff
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: that like they did the wise guys last week we
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: talked about. Now we have this. I really like it.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: And this one is so obscure that I love it.
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: Tory Wilson Armageddon poster.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: Like what a deep cut holy smoke.
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: This would be a cool elite like a unique way
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: to get like a Tory Wilson out there pass but wow,
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: yeah pass. I don't know. I don't know. I like it.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: I like it a lot our buddies A Big Shots
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: showed up their Legends of the Winged Eagle series one,
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: so a blind pull seven legends, one blind pull sore
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: this like a blind Buddy, which I think is really interesting.
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: WHOA, Okay, I'm like, okay, they're doing a stuffed title
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: like the ones they have at Ringside. But okay, I
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: got it.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: No, they make I believe they make their own stuff already,
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: I think. But this is a blind pull.
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: Held the wing degle.
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: That's fine, I dig it. Yeah, that's fine, really really fun.
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: This is the kind of stuff they could do with
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: their I don't want to see the print on demand model,
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: but essentially you know they're not They don't need to
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: make all the stock, right, So I think Big Shots
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: are the best buddies out there besides the original Tonkas.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: For sure.
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: I have to get updated Matt Cardona soon.
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: I know, I'm already working. I said, I'm sure you
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: already DM somebody you know I you know. I hit
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: up Mottel, I had a Chalcolt. I hit up Big Shots.
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: I had a five hundred level WW shop. Uh dde
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: was there no matel News this week. No Metel news
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: this week. Wow, okay, uh I just politic. I'll tell
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: you what. There's a lot of that is this. I
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: can't believe. You know, no matel news. You know what's
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. We're gonna press stopping the recording and
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: they're gonna drop all this stuff. Sure, that's gonna happen
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: Monday the fifth, we're recording. We'll cover it next week.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: I want to thank you guys. King Haku sold out
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: crazy guys in a day. It's funny because like this
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: is one where we were kind of like, how's it
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: gonna do? How's it going to do?
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: Really, I would have told that this is an automatic sold.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Out in a day.
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: In a day, it was like you around lunchtime, he
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: goes to guys, I think it's going to go today.
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: We're like what yeh?
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: Which is all?
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: I mean? That's great, thank you very much. We're thrilled
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: and obviously, like I guess, looking back on it, this
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: is like a holy grail. Never was thing right.
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: This was supposed to come out during the lg En days.
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: Never did people are I know, it's very confusing because
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: we got the Islanders in uh, Tornado Brody they will
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: be shipping, so this came in the same time. So
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: this is technically the repaint of the Islanders, you know,
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: just this one.
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: With obviously crown accessory. There's so I did.
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: I did read some pushback like why was this the
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: limited one and the other one was the pre order?
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: And I think we explained it originally is because you know,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: we did the pre order.
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: I think we have to like let our fans choose
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: our exclusives.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: Well that also, like, come on, we did the pre
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: order months ago, the pre orders the order, so we
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: couldn't do like King Haku and Islander to.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: Kid five figures purchased at once, which I think was
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: a huge ask.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: Oh you mean if we did them all at the
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: same time, right. I think some were suggesting why didn't
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: we do the King Haku as the pre order and
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: the Islanders Haku was.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: The because then I don't know if anyone but E
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: would have about the Haiti.
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. You have
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: to buy The Islanders as a tea. So listen, guys,
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: we appreciate the support, sold out fast. We thank you
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: so much, and like we said, we ordered the Islanders
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: Caravan Eric and Brews of Brodie. They should be shipping like.
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: At the time soon next ten days, guys, you'll be
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: getting getting hand or notifications whatever it is. But they're
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: not even on the water in in in the warehouse,
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: right And then.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: Also, guys, on Pro Wrestling Teas, we have new Japan
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: Pro Wrestling tana Hashi. Only a thousand made. The pre
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: order has started. Look at that baby, and look, that's
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: that's the prototype right there. This is not just a render,
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: so this is already like in somewhat a production stage.
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: So make sure you get this at Pro Wrestling Teas
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: dot com.
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: What a what A legend's been working on this for
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: a long time. So it's cool to finally, you know,
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: let it out of the bag.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: You know, what timeframe were we looking at for this, Like.
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: Look, I'd say next two or three months because it's.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: What I'm saying, like, what is this?
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: Look, Oh, I couldn't tell you the exact show, and
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: I do think it's a little longer than two or
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: three months. I think maybe spring early summer really, but man,
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: like I love seeing all the of that the wrestling
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: world gave him on social media, even John Cena posted
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: about him. You know the fact that during my indie
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: run I wrestled to Hashi.
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: I kind of like half thought, man, I wish I
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: had done something with him. I never never got to.
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: It's unfortunately, should we have time, should we have ton
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: Hashi come with the Internet Championship? You know what? I
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: didn't even remember this? Uh unreal like unbelievable. So make
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: sure you you pre order your ton of Hashi. Only
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: a thousand made.
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: And speaking of ton Hashi, he's having a hell of

- 1:10:28Speaker 8: twenty twenty five Major Wrestling Figure Podcast Year End Awards Objectively, Yes,
- 1:10:34Speaker 8: objectively and eight categories objectively. This year we have shortened
- 1:10:39Speaker 8: a little bit, streamlined it to where it's uh like
- 1:10:43Speaker 8: we uh. One of the categories was of last year
- 1:10:45Speaker 8: was like an exclusive figure of the year. Ah, there's
- 1:10:47Speaker 8: so many good exclusive figures of the year that just
- 1:10:50Speaker 8: just had.
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: To well, there's so many things are exclusive, you know,
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: it's not it's not as exclusive as an exclusive anymore.
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: Like what what does exclusive mean these days? Sometimes?
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: You know?
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: Right, and and usually the figure of the Year isn't exclusive,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: so then what is Yeah?
- 1:11:06Speaker 8: And I think I used to I used to like
- 1:11:08Speaker 8: list on on these year und awards like what they
- 1:11:11Speaker 8: were exclusive to. You can pretty much get them anywhere.
- 1:11:14Speaker 8: But there are some uh uh like uh uh ringsy
- 1:11:18Speaker 8: collectibles exclusives that are gonna be on here and stuff,
- 1:11:20Speaker 8: but we'll say we're exclusive to.
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: Yeah. So guys, what we did was we each we
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: each chose our pick, and then we did a poll
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: in our Facebook group and we let the the Major
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: Marks add to the poll. Right, So we didn't like,
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: we didn't make our own nominees with the fans choose
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: their nominees. So if you want to, you know, vote
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: every year, is that Major Marks dot Com.
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: I will say this, man, this was like difficult. There's
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: where we're We're in a golden era here, man, Like
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: there's so many companies making so much stuff and good stuff.
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: It's not like, oh, well, you know, we don't have
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: like a rush anymore to just kind of laugh at
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: and point. Like, man, it's been like people are really
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: like people don't mean serious, like people are really you know,
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: even Mitch, Like we used to make fun of Mitch
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: so much and like his stuff is incredible now, So
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: it's like it's tough to really you know now we're
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: just looking at like great stuff, so it's really hard
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: to kind of, you know, narrow it down.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: Yes, I had an easy time this year except for
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: Figure of the Year.
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: I had a very easy time as well. But I
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: see what Brian saying, because there's a lot to consider.
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: If you really look at the big picture, you know,
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: it's tough.
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:12:31Speaker 8: What's the first category D non wrestling Figure of the Year.
- 1:12:35Speaker 8: So we're gonna pick our favorite non wrestling figures.
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: Of the.
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: I did not participate in this category. Guys, I think
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: I wrote, huh, okay, okay, just what could I really say?
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: I don't really all right, I can't.
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: Wait, I can't wait.
- 1:12:54Speaker 8: Let's go all right, So I guess I'll go first.
- 1:12:58Speaker 8: So my pick for favorite non wrestling figure of the
- 1:13:01Speaker 8: hear was the I mean, this was a controversial figure
- 1:13:04Speaker 8: because I think what awesome of what it started, It
- 1:13:08Speaker 8: is awesome. This is the Marvel Legends series Maximum Series
- 1:13:12Speaker 8: Spider Man, the first skew a part of this new segment.
- 1:13:15Speaker 8: This is the I think these are retailing for fifty,
- 1:13:18Speaker 8: but obviously probably on the aftermarket they are going for
- 1:13:20Speaker 8: probably sixty each. Now Marvel Legends were this is by Hasbro.
- 1:13:24Speaker 8: By the way, Hasbro produces the Marvel Legends figures, Marvel
- 1:13:29Speaker 8: Legends usually retail for about twenty five Obviously, pre Pandemic
- 1:13:33Speaker 8: they were in the twenty dollars price point, but this
- 1:13:36Speaker 8: does set a new standard. This is basically the ultimate
- 1:13:39Speaker 8: edition segment.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: For as old on a second. Pre pandemic Panic was
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: six years ago. Guys, let's let's not tell go to
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: the pandemic. They were nineteen ninety nine.
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: That was great.
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: We would talking about using that term. It's so god,
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: it's over, it's over, it's over. I got fired and
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: returned to WW it's over six years.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: I actually arc that we're closer to twenty thirty than
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: Guys. Yeah, come on, it's a great looking figure. It's
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: a great looking figure. I'm I don't collect this stuff,
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: but I can. I could see why you chose this,
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: and I appreciate your choice.
- 1:14:11Speaker 8: Yeah, non wrestling, oh yeah, at these toy shows you'll
- 1:14:17Speaker 8: probably see him the huh oh yeah, twenty plus accessories
- 1:14:24Speaker 8: I think twenty accessories exact that comes with a new
- 1:14:26Speaker 8: stand uh probably potentially influenced by some Jada toy street
- 1:14:30Speaker 8: fighter figures.
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: Very cool, different head.
- 1:14:32Speaker 8: This is the first time that for the Marvel Legend
- 1:14:35Speaker 8: series they're doing like the Spider the Spider Sense effect.
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: All right, well, Marvel's not paying us that we can't
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: click him this much.
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: He's explaining, you start.
- 1:14:45Speaker 8: Thirty plus points of articulation, like we'll see on a
- 1:14:47Speaker 8: lot of these ends.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: So what what versions? So I'm excuse me, ignorance, Like,
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: what version of Peter Parker is this?
- 1:14:53Speaker 8: In terms of comic book artists, this is influenced by
- 1:14:56Speaker 8: Todd McFarland's work done in the late nineties. Oh really,
- 1:14:59Speaker 8: this is are a lot of collectors, especially the figure
- 1:15:03Speaker 8: that kind of started at all for the six inch
- 1:15:05Speaker 8: form factor in terms of popularizing it was that was
- 1:15:09Speaker 8: that Spider Man Classics from two thousand and one by
- 1:15:11Speaker 8: toy Biz, and that was a McFarlane Spider Man. So
- 1:15:15Speaker 8: for some people this is their definitive Marvel Legend Spider Man.
- 1:15:19Speaker 8: I have that grated Oh the Marvel Legend Series one
- 1:15:23Speaker 8: a right, Spider Man Classic Series one?
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? Well all right, who's pick is next?
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: We got marks pick. I think I cheated kinda on
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: this one, but let's see it. Yes, I mean it's so,
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: but it's technically not a figure, but we don't have
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: play sets, and I think I think it works. I
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: talked about this last week. It's the Ghostbusters Plasma series
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: ECDO one. They call it the Ecdomobile de Luxe Edition.
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: The figures are are unreal. I think it might be
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: the greatest toy I ever opened, at least close up
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: there with like maybe the razorcrest or whatever it was. Z.
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: You guys haven't mentioned that in the years four hundred bucks.
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: This was I'm excited to open mine and put in
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: the toy room. So we're just counting the ECDO one
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: as the toy.
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: You can't count all the toys, right, yeah, no, no, no,
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: I was counting the ECTO one.
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: I think it's fantastic. I'm very nervous with those stickers on.
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: I'll tell you that rock with Dan can I pay
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: you to do? You?
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: But he might be terrible at it. I know shaky hands.
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: I was really good. I'm not a good sticker. Put
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: her on her sticker, put her on her knocking with
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: there and you rehired.
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: Pal. You know who's great is Brian Myers? Actually Brian
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: my great at stickers, But you want him to put
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: on a Ghostbusters one, you'd be putting it on upside down.
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: It's incredible. Like I said, I cannot wait to build mine.
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: What did you pick, Matt?
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: So mine was also Ghostbusters related? I chose the Mondo toys. Uh,
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: Peter Venkman. Wow, they also released the Peter solo, so
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: I chose like the I have the two pack right, so,
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: but it was also released solo. That's why I was
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: able to count just the Peter Vankman. Not that the
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: Sam Hayne is not a good figure, but my choice
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: was the Peter. Like this is straight out of the cartoon.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: It was like holding a cartoon character in my hand
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: and listen. I love Necka. I love what Necka is
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: done with the turtles, but they're very hard to pose,
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: very hard to move this this like ray, I'm sorry.
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: This Peter was like moving like like air. That's how
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: smooth the joints were. I don't even think I'm conveying
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: it properly. But my only nitpick about this, and I
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: said when I reviewed on the show, is that the wire,
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: if you will, the chord for the trap is almost
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: like a paper clip, and I feel like it could
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: snap very easily. I don't like that scar. Yeah, I
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: wish it was like an actual like cord or something
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: like that. But the actual figure in the detail is
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: just incredible. I love this. And these are very very pricey.
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: These are things that I passed up on. I'm like,
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait because they were doing one Ghostbuster at
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: a time. I'll wait till all four. The price on
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: the secondary market legit doubled this two pack. I spent
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: over five hundred dollars on Holy fuck whoa yep.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: And the time.
- 1:18:24Speaker 8: This was a timed edition too, so this was exclusive
- 1:18:26Speaker 8: to Mondo Shop at least the the Collector's pack and yeah,
- 1:18:32Speaker 8: so that was only available for a limited time where
- 1:18:34Speaker 8: and these are one twelve scale so these are technically
- 1:18:36Speaker 8: six inches so in case people wanted to know what
- 1:18:39Speaker 8: scale these were the a Mondo usually does one six scale,
- 1:18:42Speaker 8: but these for that they're delving into more one twelth
- 1:18:44Speaker 8: scale product.
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: And what are the fans choose?
- 1:18:48Speaker 8: The fans selected ned Flanders from Jack specifics. What Simpson's
- 1:18:53Speaker 8: five inch line. This is a part of Wave six.
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: I was not expecting that skiing Flanders.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: There's a lot of simps on there. We don't talk
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: about them. None, let's collect them.
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: I mean, like, oh, I collect these. I think Dylan
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: does you know? I mean I know it's a thing, but.
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they're they're great. I've been thinking about it.
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: I just have no room for it.
- 1:19:12Speaker 8: Well, the five inch assortment, yeah, it's it's a little
- 1:19:14Speaker 8: difficult to collect that. But the world building of The Simpsons,
- 1:19:17Speaker 8: if you want to build the world of Springfield, they
- 1:19:19Speaker 8: have a two and a half inch segment that has
- 1:19:22Speaker 8: the Christy Berger di rama and the living Room di rama,
- 1:19:25Speaker 8: and they're also doing vehicles as well. They just now
- 1:19:28Speaker 8: came out with a lot of the product is largely
- 1:19:31Speaker 8: found at Target. I haven't found any at my Walmart stores.
- 1:19:34Speaker 8: The two and a half inch segment is available I
- 1:19:36Speaker 8: think at some chains like five below and such.
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: So I've seen these. I don't collect them. I think
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: they're really really fun. I don't watch the Simpsons. I'm
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: as a kid. I really enjoyed The Simpsons, I really
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: and I love the write of Universe. I don't watch
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: it currently. I think the figures are really really cool.
- 1:19:56Speaker 8: Yeah, Jackson's great stuff with the Nintendo stuff and Flanders.
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: Holy smoke.
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: This hits me because I watch it as a kid insanely.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: But I've also been watching it with my daughter. It's
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: kind of like one of the things that we do
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: together is watch old episodes of The Simpsons that she loves.
- 1:20:13Speaker 8: But yeah, I don't know, And this is like a
- 1:20:16Speaker 8: moment from like one of the earlier episodes. So like,
- 1:20:19Speaker 8: I don't think they're gonna be I mean, we'll see
- 1:20:21Speaker 8: like what newer moments I guess they recreate. I think
- 1:20:24Speaker 8: they did like the Mother Nature Krusty or whatever as well,
- 1:20:28Speaker 8: So we'll see what future stuff they got in the line.
- 1:20:30Speaker 8: But yeah, Major Marks are very fond of the of
- 1:20:32Speaker 8: the Simpsons and Jaxta's great stuff and will continue to
- 1:20:35Speaker 8: do great stuff with the Simpsons.
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: Love it. What's the next category?
- 1:20:39Speaker 8: Next category is least favorite figure of the year. My
- 1:20:42Speaker 8: least favorite figure of the year is h I mean
- 1:20:46Speaker 8: a lot of people, it's very easy to go after
- 1:20:49Speaker 8: the independent companies, but I specifically think, like, in terms
- 1:20:52Speaker 8: of last year, I selected, I think the TCG Toys,
- 1:20:55Speaker 8: Flexfigs Undertaker. So I think like when I think of
- 1:20:59Speaker 8: least favorite, I think of like, how did this exactly happen?
- 1:21:03Speaker 7: Uh?
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: So my figure is a Licensibity product.
- 1:21:06Speaker 8: The Funko Pop Stacey Keebler out of package. In package, okay,
- 1:21:11Speaker 8: looks great, signed A lot of collectors do it.
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: But out of package? Uh and same when I think.
- 1:21:15Speaker 8: The reveal graphic was officially published by funk Go across
- 1:21:19Speaker 8: their social media channels, people, who's the one in the
- 1:21:22Speaker 8: black gear? Who's the one in the black gear? H
- 1:21:24Speaker 8: it is an obscure attire for Stacey Keebler. I mean
- 1:21:27Speaker 8: she she wrestled her like.
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I see it. I totally see what you're saying.
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: But it's right. What else would she do?
- 1:21:34Speaker 8: There was more, there was more colors that she'd wore
- 1:21:37Speaker 8: more in the mid two thousands. I don't know if
- 1:21:39Speaker 8: this was due to budget why they selected this, or
- 1:21:40Speaker 8: this was the specific reference that they were submitted to them.
- 1:21:45Speaker 8: Uh so yeah, it's just one of those figures to
- 1:21:48Speaker 8: where yeah, it's it's not a bad figure, it's just
- 1:21:51Speaker 8: in terms of the design, it could have been better,
- 1:21:53Speaker 8: a better prime.
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, they could have. They could have chose
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: a different outfit.
- 1:21:58Speaker 8: Yeah, just out of package. If you're a W fan,
- 1:22:01Speaker 8: even a W a hardcore W fan would still take no.
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: I agree, yeah, this so this is going to be
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: it might sound super lame, but for the second year
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: in a row, I just abstained from this. I just
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: think it's kind of like a I don't know.
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: What, we shouldn't even have this category. Then I don't
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: like I.
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: Mean, look, sometimes it's pretty clear, and sometimes it it's
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: fun to joke about something. I like the Edge figure
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: that year that is that it looked like somebody that
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: he had a tattoo of a shirt or something like that.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: Let's go, let's go to my Let's go to my
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: pick then huh, Bryan's next, right.
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: Yeah, and not the echo of Mark saying. But I
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: had a hard time because, like I said, people are
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: making such nice stuff and if it's really like lousy,
- 1:22:45Speaker 3: like I don't even really like see it see it.
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: So I can't like to you know, bury it, bury
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: it like like I'm sure and I've never not the
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: single them out, but I have never like had a
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: Lutuni product in my hand or whatever. So I can't
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: like just say this is the one and it's right
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: and like it, you know. So I don't know that said.
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: I saw pictures of this this week and I was skeptical,
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: and then I saw it in person. The j and
- 1:23:08Speaker 3: j figure. Guys where at ken con kwk bull Nakano, Wow,
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: buzz your girlfriend Wolf. Really I think this one this
- 1:23:20Speaker 3: is a very odd feedback that I'm about saying. I
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: think this is like a victim of too many deco
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: hits that it just looks like deco throw up on
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: her face and shirt and stuff, and it's just not great.
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: So I actually own this. I didn't think it was
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: that bad. I actually enjoyed it.
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: But like I said, I saw this in person, so
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: I don't feel like a hypocrite or a jerk off
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: saying that I didn't like it.
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: So my worst figure of the year, it actually was attuney.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: And I'm not saying the quality of the figure in
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: hand is bad, it's just the concept. I just don't
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: like illegal or fantasy, complete fantasy. Can you put it
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: on the screen? This is the ultra.
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: I could have picked this without even ever owning it
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: or but it's just like out like people how this.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: Yes like this? Like to me? It just everything about
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: it just looks like it's like this bootleg that you
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: would see like at a dollar store, you know. And
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: I'm not saying the actual quality of it in hand
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: wouldn't be good, but it's macho for those listening, it's
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: Macho man as like Syclops from X Men. The Macho
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: Man is licensed apparently, but obviously Sydeclops is not. And
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: this is just complete fantasy. And the package looks like
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: a complete like a kid's coloring book. Ors. Yeah, uh,
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: and listen, there might be people out there who love it,
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: and that's fine. This is just my opinion, right.
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: Exactly. I would never buy this.
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: However, I would never buy this.
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: However, I'm sitting here looking at a macho Man ninja
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: turtle thing.
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: You know. It's like that.
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: It was like right up my wheelhouse. So I'm not
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: gonna knock the idea. And I'm certain I certainly don't
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: want to push against you know. That's why I wouldn't
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: want to vote for the third figure worst figure of
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: the year.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: You know, I don't know what did the fans pick.
- 1:25:17Speaker 3: I'm curious, Well do you are?
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: You?
- 1:25:19Speaker 3: You went sorry the fans?
- 1:25:21Speaker 8: Yeah, the fans selected the.
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: This is not bad.
- 1:25:28Speaker 3: I haven't so this is exactly what we're talking about.
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: I'm not saying this is like an incredible figure by
- 1:25:34Speaker 3: any means, but I have this in my hand and
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: it looks way better than that photo.
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: Again right now. But guys, the pants are like as
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: like splatter and the brutes have splatter. It's a complete fantasy.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: And also Heath Okay, here's the here's my issue with it.
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: Heath like just Heath never ward I Got Kids shirt.
- 1:25:59Speaker 8: And and WLD Wrestling Entertainment, because that's a world wrestling entertainment.
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. It's like this complete mashup Heath
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: that the independent wrestler never wren I got Kids. What
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: are you saying got Heath Slater wore an I Got
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: Kids shirt. And even if you're saying this is he's Slater,
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: he didn't wear that gear. But what is this is
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
- 1:26:20Speaker 8: It also has like twenty ten Heath Slayer tattoos, the
- 1:26:24Speaker 8: illustration aka synthetic media that was a place across the
- 1:26:30Speaker 8: card back the.
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: Tattoos has the updated stuff.
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: Yeah I can see, I guess.
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: Yeah. The head looks way too tidy for that body,
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: the head and all and that mean bad.
- 1:26:41Speaker 3: I don't eve think this is the real figure. This
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: is a production shot because it doesn't look like that
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: in person.
- 1:26:48Speaker 8: The reference material that was so he Slater did do
- 1:26:52Speaker 8: still photos of him in that?
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: I mean it?
- 1:26:56Speaker 8: Yeah, the reference that was used to generate the same
- 1:27:00Speaker 8: media on the carpet.
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, synthetic media. That's a new term.
- 1:27:05Speaker 8: That's the new euphemism that's going around.
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: Because enough enough negativity, let's go to the next And
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: that's why the category may be a limited next year.
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: I back to what Mark said, like when there is
- 1:27:19Speaker 3: a glaring like you know, like that Ember Moon figure
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: that one year, like you said, that edge which had
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: a shirt that looked like not a shirt. Sometimes fun
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: to be like how did this happen?
- 1:27:28Speaker 8: But anyway, all right, being positive, going to major figure
- 1:27:33Speaker 8: of the year, I selected one for a good cause,
- 1:27:38Speaker 8: wrestling Chris. The prophets went straight into Chris Bay's pocket,
- 1:27:43Speaker 8: So yeah, what a.
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: What an honor to do that for Chris Bay. He's
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: just an awesome guy. And what a transitionable figure.
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: Yeah, what a transition to because you said a positive
- 1:27:53Speaker 3: thing and he is like maybe the most positive person
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: I've ever met, So what a cool thing to do
- 1:27:59Speaker 3: for him. Awesome that it was officially licensed by TNA
- 1:28:01Speaker 3: and they okayed all that and stuff, so it's cool
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: to see him at wrestle cade this year, you know,
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: selling these to the fans and stuff. So I love Chris,
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: We're rooting for him. What an inspirational guy. And he
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: was very very moved that we made this figure for him,
- 1:28:15Speaker 3: so and and that that said, it is a very
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: nice figure with all his tats and a lot of
- 1:28:19Speaker 3: deco hits and zebra print whatever you call it.
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: And Mark, yeah, I picked the Hardy Boys, not a.
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: Two play cards, right, I'll let you get those signed
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: in Orlando.
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: I am trying to decide. I'm trying to decide. I
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: think I'm definitely bringing my the golf cart pack. But
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: I love a retro style, you know whatever, old school
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: style figure that should have been in the line.
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: Yeah. Cool.
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: And and you know there you kind of already did
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: a lot of the Bendy's that were should have been
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: in the line. But this, this definitely is one of them,
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: and it's great. And I remember the Hardy Boys at
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: the time, I thought they were awesome.
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: So this is one that didn't get enough love from
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: the fans. I think that's still available on collect Yeah.
- 1:29:12Speaker 3: It was like a slow moving product. I think it
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: was just too deep down the instant I thought I'll
- 1:29:20Speaker 3: do yeah, yeah, but love it and I know they
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: love it, so there's like a personal attachment to this
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: where I know, like they've never had figures in this
- 1:29:28Speaker 3: era of their career, so I thought that was a
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: really cool thing.
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: Yeah, yep.
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: So I had a hard time with this one too.
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: You know, obviously if we've were really rocking and rolling
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: a collect Major and we got a lot of fun stuff,
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: especially this year, I had runner ups in my mind.
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: I love the brand new hackso Jim Dugg and Major Stars,
- 1:29:46Speaker 3: it's so like just fun. Saw him the Ken Con
- 1:29:49Speaker 3: and we were talking about it. He loves it too,
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: so like there's you know, a lot to that. I
- 1:29:54Speaker 3: love the brand new Smash Big rubber Guy. Uh And
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: in Demolition as a whole, I thought was a tremendous
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: effort by the whole Major team. But Smashed particularly is
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: really really great. But I had to pick one, and
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: I went with Rick the Model Martel. Wow, people are
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: gonna hey this rubber guy. It was very cool.
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: I cant believe that people on this.
- 1:30:17Speaker 3: But again again we've said this throughout this whole segment.
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: If you have this figure in your hand or on
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: your shelf, you do not think it's a bad figure.
- 1:30:25Speaker 3: You think it's insanely awesome figure. The arrogance, the sweater,
- 1:30:31Speaker 3: the fact that he could have fit right into that,
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: you know, the line seamlessly is if it were nineteen
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: eighty nine or ninety. I think it's just a lot
- 1:30:38Speaker 3: of fun. And also like Rick Martel hasn't had a
- 1:30:41Speaker 3: product in years and years and years, and we you know,
- 1:30:44Speaker 3: we're the first to like get him out, you know,
- 1:30:46Speaker 3: and now he's freaking coming to big event in March
- 1:30:48Speaker 3: and stuff. Peoplere gonna be getting these sign and it's
- 1:30:50Speaker 3: going to be like a whole thing, so really really cool.
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: Like Brian said, there was hard to choose. I almost
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: went with the Major Star because, believe it or not,
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: the Major Star are my favorite item that we do
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: right now currently, Wow, the Demolition, the New Demolition or
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: without a doubt, the best. But I was trying to
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: get I didn't want to single out Acts or Smack.
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: I guess I could have done all three since marked
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: the two Hardy Bendy's, but I went with my favorite
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: now Macho King Randy Savage. Yeah, super toy. Like I
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: closed my eyes and I think of Macho King, this
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: is the out what I think of, uh, you know,
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: when I became the Death Match King, my first Death
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: Match King gear was a ripoff of this, right kind of,
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: so I have like some sentimental attachment to it. It's
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: got the crown, it's got the scepter. You know, he's
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: also you know, could be dropping the elbow. Just I
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: just love this figure. The Dream Team we have a
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: click major with with myself, Brian Connect the Freedom TTD
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: Brian Batty. I think we absolutely nailed this, and honestly
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: like the backstory that went into this. You know, like
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: I don't want to speak negatively about something so positive,
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: but like this was supposed to be an exclusive to
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: somebody else. They kind of screwed us over, and we
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: like we said no, the fans aren't gonna get screwed over.
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: We ate the cost of this to send it to
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: all those fans who had ordered through the other retailer.
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: We put them the rest on our website. I just
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: I just love this figure and it's it's so good.
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: Like I don't know if we're gonna do another Listen,
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: I'll be honest, we've been trying to figure out a
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: good figure out.
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: It's like a one and done mold situation too.
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: This might be a one and done mold situation because
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: if you actually hold this figure in his hand, like
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: there's some raised moldings on his leg, it's not just
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: all paint, you know. And I just I love the tan,
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: I love the crown, I love the scepter, and it's
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: just the fact that we have a Macho King Randy
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: Savage figure official collect Major I love and and the
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: box are that. TTD just nails these these box arts,
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: you know, the inserts.
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: It's just one.
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: Unfortunately you'll never be able to get signed, but I
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: love it right.
- 1:33:00Speaker 8: And the Major Marks were in agreement with with mister.
- 1:33:03Speaker 3: Woh ow nice congrats to the Macho King. Yeah yeah,
- 1:33:09Speaker 3: Like wasn't even going to be our figure. So I'm
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: kind of thrilled that in a way, it was almost
- 1:33:15Speaker 3: like a blessing in disguise. A little bit of what happened.
- 1:33:18Speaker 3: Is this still on our side?
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: Is this sold out? Not quite sure, I'll look.
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: But that's what's the next thing.
- 1:33:25Speaker 8: Next category is Packaging of the Year. My selection was
- 1:33:29Speaker 8: something that probably no one is probably thinking about because
- 1:33:32Speaker 8: it kind of came and went, but it did sell out.
- 1:33:34Speaker 8: It did sell out packaging of the year Ultimate edition
- 1:33:37Speaker 8: John Steena Outer Shipper. Nice pack out with these championships
- 1:33:42Speaker 8: as if it's in like a banner form. First John
- 1:33:44Speaker 8: Cena packed out with him running. So the the window
- 1:33:47Speaker 8: box is it's in that hour glass shape similar to
- 1:33:49Speaker 8: the from the Vault and also the original twenty ten figures.
- 1:33:53Speaker 8: But that outer outer Shipper has all these highlights, the
- 1:33:55Speaker 8: story it tells of his career and that it's been
- 1:33:59Speaker 8: twenty twenty five I was Johnson his last year as
- 1:34:02Speaker 8: an in ring performer. And also the back panel of
- 1:34:05Speaker 8: the packaging has that cutout window that was classic signature
- 1:34:09Speaker 8: to the twenty ten MATTELW packaging has a career stats
- 1:34:12Speaker 8: that's something that you don't really see too much anymore
- 1:34:15Speaker 8: on MATILV packaging. I don't think they list out the
- 1:34:17Speaker 8: statistics like I think even like they had like that
- 1:34:20Speaker 8: little box, like that little brief description about like their
- 1:34:22Speaker 8: career uh period during that time. And then the cross
- 1:34:26Speaker 8: cell as well also features actual physical samples. You don't
- 1:34:30Speaker 8: really see that too manymore. They just go with the
- 1:34:32Speaker 8: standard character art with the with the studio shots across
- 1:34:36Speaker 8: the cross cell. So and it's a nice way that
- 1:34:38Speaker 8: they did that with the previous Joson releases there and.
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: I wasn't even this, dem I wasn't even thinking about.
- 1:34:43Speaker 8: This, and they still implemented that foil at the top
- 1:34:46Speaker 8: for that Ultimate edition because that's what it's known for,
- 1:34:48Speaker 8: is that premium, and it looks premium, and it feels premium.
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: Does look premium, and I love the shout out to
- 1:34:53Speaker 2: the original elite packaging. Yeah, you're right, d this is
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: a great one with all the titles underneath. And I
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: do love the product and back as opposed to well,
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: they don't even show products on the back anymore.
- 1:35:05Speaker 8: Yeah, they don't show physical paint models really that much.
- 1:35:07Speaker 8: You'll really only see it on build of figures, So right, wow,
- 1:35:12Speaker 8: and mark your pick.
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: So I love a good clear packaging obviously. And this
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: is the jazz Whear's golf cart thing that I just mentioned.
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: Crazy fun.
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: I said that I want to try to get this
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: signed by everybody, and I'm still trying. Sammy is easy.
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: I see him all the time. That's not a question.
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: I'm gonna get Matt at the show coming up. How
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: Mark Sterling gets Kenny Omega twenty twenty six, I have
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: no idea, but that's the adventure. I'm very excited for this.
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: I think that it, like epitomizes a moment in time
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: in pro wrestling, so.
- 1:35:51Speaker 3: So fun and we should at least acknowledge because I
- 1:35:54Speaker 3: have opened this. It is packaging like that golf carts,
- 1:35:58Speaker 3: not a toy, right for those that don't know like that.
- 1:36:00Speaker 8: Yeah, it's hardboard than.
- 1:36:01Speaker 3: Display, not meant to be capped, and honestly, there's like
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: no way to even preserve it once you start opening it.
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: Yeah you can for fun.
- 1:36:08Speaker 8: You can't remove the you can't put the steering wall back.
- 1:36:10Speaker 8: I think that's just part of the pack out right.
- 1:36:12Speaker 8: And it also has that displayer box the platform. This
- 1:36:14Speaker 8: is limited to three thousand pieces, by the way, exclusive
- 1:36:17Speaker 8: a Jetsuar's vault.
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: Talk about unique yes, you know, different structure.
- 1:36:22Speaker 8: I don't know if this is going to be a
- 1:36:23Speaker 8: segment that they continue going forward throughout the twenty twenty
- 1:36:25Speaker 8: five year, or if they're just gonna have one skew
- 1:36:27Speaker 8: for this year, or if this is just a one
- 1:36:28Speaker 8: and doone situation. But a nice, nice moment to be
- 1:36:31Speaker 8: recreated here from from we were talking about the pandemic
- 1:36:34Speaker 8: from the pandemic that got a lot of people out
- 1:36:37Speaker 8: of their seats while sitting at home.
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: So and Brian your pick.
- 1:36:42Speaker 3: Yes, I'm gonna go with Mitch's Godwin to pack.
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: No, I'm kidding. This is another one.
- 1:36:49Speaker 3: Like I was thinking, Man, I loved a lot of
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: stuff that's going on these here. I love ring Side
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: defining moments packaging. You know when those come in like that,
- 1:36:57Speaker 3: it's again another shout out to what old, but it's new.
- 1:37:01Speaker 3: I love that they actually depict the real moment. I
- 1:37:04Speaker 3: love Target's legends forever. Reason that that packaging's sturdy and
- 1:37:08Speaker 3: made of great cardboard and plastic, unlike the regular elites.
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: For some reason, I don't understand that. I didn't think
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: how much i'd love it until I saw it, and
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: I felt like a kid again seeing LJN's in the
- 1:37:19Speaker 3: store in that package, in that giant box and it's
- 1:37:22Speaker 3: so well done.
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun.
- 1:37:24Speaker 3: But ultimately for the uniqueness and my biasedness because I
- 1:37:30Speaker 3: love me some hardy boys, the Ringside Jazz Wears glowing
- 1:37:35Speaker 3: a real working black light. Jeff Hardy as my pick,
- 1:37:38Speaker 3: just for the like crazy uniqueness of this, Just something
- 1:37:42Speaker 3: I would have never expected.
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: To come out or happen, so you got him to
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: sign that yet I.
- 1:37:47Speaker 3: Have not actually and then another thing in my research
- 1:37:50Speaker 3: for all this, this thing is like long gone and
- 1:37:51Speaker 3: sold out too, so it was a big hit.
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: I'm sure it is.
- 1:37:54Speaker 8: Well, I think this is like the only like singles
- 1:37:56Speaker 8: attire Jeff like, because like all the other ones are
- 1:37:58Speaker 8: kind of paired with Matt, so this is like one
- 1:38:01Speaker 8: that you don't have to pair with a previously released Matt. Right,
- 1:38:04Speaker 8: and a fifth panel window box packaging has the velcrow
- 1:38:07Speaker 8: fastening across the front or hook and loop.
- 1:38:09Speaker 3: I thought it was that's that you can't even see,
- 1:38:12Speaker 3: but there's a black ladder in there, like there's so
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: much even more add value though.
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: I didn't even know that, right, It's crazy.
- 1:38:19Speaker 8: And it's one of the I think few unmatched collection
- 1:38:22Speaker 8: of ringsy Collector was exclusive. A lot of them are
- 1:38:24Speaker 8: exclusive to the Unrivaled segment, but this is part of
- 1:38:27Speaker 8: the unmatched in terms of the branding. Even has the
- 1:38:29Speaker 8: battery compartment on the side panel, and so yeah, there's
- 1:38:32Speaker 8: a lot of spots where Jeff can sign it. He
- 1:38:33Speaker 8: can sign it on the front flap or the inside
- 1:38:35Speaker 8: the flap or even on the window. A lot of
- 1:38:37Speaker 8: collectors will obviously want.
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: It over the figure that window. Yeah, a lot of options.
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: All right, my pick this is it. Here's my pick
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: right here. Favorite packaging at twenty twenty five is the
- 1:38:52Speaker 2: Elite Collection American Nightmare Cody Roads and Farrell. I just
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: thought this was so fun. Uh. You know, this was
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: the T shirt the previous year at Mania, and the
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: packaging is so good that it fooled me that there's
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: no actual rock accessory.
- 1:39:05Speaker 3: It's just part of the packaging. It's awesome.
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: So the fact you know that we get the Pharaoh
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: of the Dog and the Cody.
- 1:39:12Speaker 3: The Dog is interchangeable heads by the way, was mind
- 1:39:15Speaker 3: blowing me.
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: I just love that it looks just like the shirt
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: that he wore, you know throughout that that that that
- 1:39:21Speaker 2: run to finish the story. And like I said, like
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: it even fooled me where I opened up like, wait,
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: there's no rocket here, so for that reason, and then there's.
- 1:39:30Speaker 8: No physical like like plastic rocket is right, it's.
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: As right right right. And then also if you look
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: at the sides in the back, there's great artwork of
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: Cody and Pharaoh. I don't know if we have images
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: of that, but if you were to do like a
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: three sixty. There's also there's great cartoon work, you know,
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: if you really wanted to look at the sides in
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: the back, but even from the front. I think this
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: is one that you keep. I'm gonna let him breathe
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: the guy, but I think there's something you keep men
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: on card because you know you cannot recreate that. You
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: know it has to be because there's no actual rock,
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, because the packaging makes it.
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: So that was my pick was the finish the story
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: Cody and Pharaoh.
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: Yeah, how many kids open that on Christmas?
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: I know, Chase.
- 1:40:13Speaker 8: This this might be sold out because of the Pharaoh.
- 1:40:15Speaker 8: Pharaoh is a big deal and uh, I guess the
- 1:40:18Speaker 8: wrestling dog community.
- 1:40:20Speaker 3: So he's the only way, the only way to get Pharaoh, right.
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: Yeah, the only way to get Pharaoh.
- 1:40:25Speaker 8: And I uh, we'll see if they got Larry coming
- 1:40:27Speaker 8: out with an ultimate edition seem Punk, so we'll see
- 1:40:29Speaker 8: how articulated Larry is this This Pharaoh's got, like, I
- 1:40:32Speaker 8: think about more more articulation than the Minecraft dog does.
- 1:40:38Speaker 8: So yeah, everything that you want in an articulate dog,
- 1:40:41Speaker 8: articulated canine, you got here. And Cody also comes to
- 1:40:43Speaker 8: the Soft Goods for the first time ever. Soft Goods
- 1:40:45Speaker 8: a flag excess.
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: For me as a kid, like you wouldn't have like
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: you know, para coma like that, and then the switch
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: to the head and he starts biting somebody. Come on.
- 1:40:54Speaker 3: Unlimited storyline potentially.
- 1:40:56Speaker 8: Also comes with the leash too. Also comes with the
- 1:40:57Speaker 8: leash so that Cody can.
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: But but some people will just leave this in the
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: box and never even know that it comes from.
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: But because of some probably.
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: And the major marks selected.
- 1:41:11Speaker 8: Wow, Brian's pick Unmatched collection Ring Cyclicals Exclusive Jeff Hardy.
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, just so unique and unexpected, right, Yeah.
- 1:41:22Speaker 8: Lined with that UVA light across has the on and
- 1:41:25Speaker 8: off switch and also has fluorescent paint across Jeff to
- 1:41:30Speaker 8: activate that black life feature sweptble portrait. Outside of just
- 1:41:33Speaker 8: the packaging alone, just the contents, the tire choice, the yeah,
- 1:41:37Speaker 8: just the artwork all along is uh it's very similar
- 1:41:41Speaker 8: to uh, like kind of like what Jack's was doing.
- 1:41:43Speaker 8: Jack's had some good Rings Cyclicals Exclusive featuring Jeff Hardy,
- 1:41:46Speaker 8: so very similar that, I mean, you can't not have
- 1:41:52Speaker 8: there's no non toyetic figure of Jeff. It's really hard
- 1:41:55Speaker 8: to do that.
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: Yeah, tough, all right.
- 1:41:59Speaker 8: So next category of the year, hang on, hang on,
- 1:42:02Speaker 8: I don't have it ready. Next category of the year
- 1:42:08Speaker 8: is a retro figure of the year.
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: Retro.
- 1:42:12Speaker 8: A lot of people in the wrestling figure community just
- 1:42:14Speaker 8: like the label it the four and a half inches
- 1:42:16Speaker 8: has Bro w Faction figure inspired figures. But there's more
- 1:42:20Speaker 8: than that.
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: There's w Superstars, a shot shot.
- 1:42:25Speaker 3: Fact, there is a shout out to older.
- 1:42:28Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what the term retro means in the toy industry.
- 1:42:32Speaker 8: The toy industry, the retro form factor is something that
- 1:42:35Speaker 8: is something.
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: That was because all the retros Hasbro's retros, the.
- 1:42:42Speaker 8: New Wrestling Heroes, the New Wrestling Heroes figures by Prossing T's,
- 1:42:46Speaker 8: those are a retro form factor. So mine, probably not
- 1:42:50Speaker 8: a lot of people's lists, is the Great MODA Great
- 1:42:52Speaker 8: Muda has I think this is the last chase for
- 1:42:56Speaker 8: twenty twenty five. No no chases going forward for the
- 1:42:59Speaker 8: w super Star segment UH and future segments maybe in
- 1:43:03Speaker 8: selects executions. But the Great Muda has Swapple heads for
- 1:43:07Speaker 8: both the core release and the chase release and also
- 1:43:11Speaker 8: interchangeable missed accessories as well as I think the first
- 1:43:15Speaker 8: time included with somebody Superstars figure or I don't know
- 1:43:18Speaker 8: if they've if any w Superstars figure has included a
- 1:43:21Speaker 8: weapon re like accessory and such, but yeah, alternate hands.
- 1:43:25Speaker 8: So yeah, he's it was this guy or the Caatashack,
- 1:43:27Speaker 8: cause technically the Cactas Shack was even though some collectors
- 1:43:30Speaker 8: did get it, uh in twenty twenty four, it technically wasn't.
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: Day by our rules. That's for sorry, pal, So I
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: wouldn't we go by the rule the year it came out.
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: I go by the automn number.
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: And that's what a lot of yuh, well, god, it's
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: our show, pal, Oh my god, who cares? All right,
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: but this is incredible. The fact if you're a Great
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: Mooda guy, you potentially make four great.
- 1:43:54Speaker 3: Mon that's so like overwhelming but cool, also very cool.
- 1:43:59Speaker 8: Yeah, probably his second or third skew of the year.
- 1:44:03Speaker 8: And yeah, so twenty twenty five was a good year
- 1:44:05Speaker 8: for the Great Mooda. All right, Mark, you're retrofigure the year?
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I picked the Lgan Hogan. We talk about this
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: a lot on the podcast Just Iconic. This came out
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: in the eighties, it came out again now and it's
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: and it's a best seller forty years later or whatever.
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I'm doing my math right there,
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: but uh yeah, it's awesome. We've been talking about this
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: a lot lately, so we don't need to spend some
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: time on it. But that's what I chose.
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: Uh my pick another one.
- 1:44:32Speaker 3: Just man, a lot of great stuff this year, people
- 1:44:35Speaker 3: in this space doing a lot of amazing things. I
- 1:44:37Speaker 3: love the Dusty Rhodes ljn Epic figure. I loved the
- 1:44:42Speaker 3: Hardy Boys bone Crushers, but ultimately I had to give
- 1:44:48Speaker 3: this one to what I'm gonna call Hakushi from Heels
- 1:44:52Speaker 3: and Faces Wow, Zombie Sailor Toys. I just this is
- 1:44:56Speaker 3: something I was thinking. Man, if this came out in
- 1:44:58Speaker 3: nineteen ninety five, I would have been tickled to death.
- 1:45:01Speaker 3: That always take on my Brett Hart Hasbro figure, you
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like, so that's why you know
- 1:45:06Speaker 3: there really is no Akushi figure at all. You know,
- 1:45:10Speaker 3: Shinzaki has stuff, but not not like this. So it
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: was just too fun for me to pass up. It's
- 1:45:16Speaker 3: my number one of the year.
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: Yeah. I really wanted to pick a Hasbro esque figure,
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: but the fact that l Jane is back it got
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: my nostalgia really kicking, and Mark had a great pick
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: with the Hogan, but I went with the John Cena.
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: The John Cena l JN. I mean just the fact that, like,
- 1:45:38Speaker 2: you know, it looks like an l JN, it feels
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: like an LJN. The package, like just the mass hysteria.
- 1:45:45Speaker 2: And it's not just adults. We saw that video last
- 1:45:47Speaker 2: week that kid freaking out over again l j and
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: John Cena. So I love this. I love that it's
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: a continuation. And just like Mark said, we're not going
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: to spend the time, you know, the past six weeks
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: talking about these figures. So if you really want to
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: hear more, yeah, wait, I absolutely I love it. Uh
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: It's just perfect, like to me, like he's he's flexing,
- 1:46:08Speaker 2: but he can also do the AA you know, like yeah,
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: he could do double clothes. I'm just thinking of all
- 1:46:13Speaker 2: the crazy stuff I would do if I was a
- 1:46:15Speaker 2: kid with this, and and I really feel like a
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: big kid again with these lgns, And so for that
- 1:46:20Speaker 2: reason I chose And also Johnson his last year in
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: the business, his final match this year, So for all
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: those reasons, I went with the LJN. John Sina from
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: Mattel and fans.
- 1:46:32Speaker 3: I'm curious. Yeah, so many things.
- 1:46:34Speaker 8: Major Marks were in agreement with Brian.
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: Wow, got to in a row. Boys, it's a great figure. Guys.
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: There's almost picked this one. Yeah, I almost picked this one.
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:46:45Speaker 3: I mean, I just think a lot of our fans
- 1:46:47Speaker 3: are our same age, so they're in the same mindset
- 1:46:49Speaker 3: as me. Like, man, imagine this guy freaking spin kicking
- 1:46:53Speaker 3: your Brett heart. Yes as well if you could.
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: Ultimately ended up going with Hogan though, because of.
- 1:47:00Speaker 3: It's all nostylegic. Guys, what's next date?
- 1:47:03Speaker 8: Okay, we got multi pack slash Bundle of the Year.
- 1:47:07Speaker 8: I went with the Ultimate Edition Brandy Roads and the
- 1:47:11Speaker 8: American Nightmare Cody Roads. Two packe too exclusive to MATEL
- 1:47:16Speaker 8: Creations made the order, and it's the first Ultimate Edition
- 1:47:20Speaker 8: item to have two figures in one package, as opposed
- 1:47:23Speaker 8: to the standard bundle, which is too individually packaged figures
- 1:47:27Speaker 8: in one outer shipper.
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is when he wins the tie. I
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: can't switch my pick now. But I totally forgot about
- 1:47:35Speaker 2: There's so much great product that, like Brian said, it's hot.
- 1:47:38Speaker 3: This was different, Like, this is the hardest this has
- 1:47:40Speaker 3: ever been for me to do this show this year.
- 1:47:42Speaker 3: It was a lot of stuff. You have to really
- 1:47:44Speaker 3: think about, a lot of.
- 1:47:46Speaker 8: New components made for this one and the first time
- 1:47:49Speaker 8: on line Brandy Roads awesome.
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: I feel like I didn't get this. I mean, I
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: feel like I need this. I think it goes for
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: a lot of money. Actually, damn made to order and.
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: I so I went with more nostalgia, uh, And I
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: went with the Dudley's.
- 1:48:05Speaker 3: Oh that's a great one, great pick, multi ring exclusive
- 1:48:10Speaker 3: Dudley Boys Ultimate two pack.
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: Huge Dudley Boys fans at this time. I had the
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: I had their shirt. Do you remember they came out
- 1:48:16Speaker 1: with a long sleeve shirt. Do you guys remember that?
- 1:48:19Speaker 3: Yeah, that Spikes were all that Spike was like, it
- 1:48:22Speaker 3: was basically Spike's ringer you were all the time.
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: That's what I had. I wore that all the time.
- 1:48:28Speaker 8: But it might even be a Jack Stevon in the
- 1:48:30Speaker 8: shirt too.
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: Yeah. Huge fans of the Dudley Boys here. And it
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: really put a, you know, fit a big hole in
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: my collection.
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: So that they're they're they're they're truly excellent and ultimate figures.
- 1:48:42Speaker 3: Brian, Well, my pick, guys, may be biased, maybe a
- 1:48:46Speaker 3: hopeless romantic that there's a glimmer of hope that there's
- 1:48:50Speaker 3: bright things in this company's future and they're not going
- 1:48:52Speaker 3: to let us down. But I had to go with
- 1:48:55Speaker 3: the Matt and Brian powers.
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: Pick two back.
- 1:49:03Speaker 3: I mean, you can say what you want to say
- 1:49:05Speaker 3: about Powertown, and we've said a lot of negative things
- 1:49:07Speaker 3: about in the past couple of months. This tupac is
- 1:49:11Speaker 3: unba believable. The packaging is unbelievable, the figures, the quality,
- 1:49:17Speaker 3: the added value, the soft goods robe that Matt comes
- 1:49:20Speaker 3: with is out of this world. Like it's just it's
- 1:49:24Speaker 3: my favorite wrestling figure that's ever made of me, and
- 1:49:26Speaker 3: that says a lot, so had to go with it.
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. I didn't choose it because I
- 1:49:33Speaker 2: didn't want to choose myself, but I'm glad Brian did.
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: Wow much, so much went into this, and like Brian said,
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: I think it's my favorite figure of me so far,
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: definitely Brian's best. And I don't think that's just my opinion.
- 1:49:45Speaker 2: I think that's a fact. And what I really love
- 1:49:46Speaker 2: is behind the robe, like I added value the Internet Championship.
- 1:49:51Speaker 2: I really hope Powertown, you know, delivers on the upcoming product.
- 1:49:59Speaker 3: Got a you know, pull up the reins, you know,
- 1:50:02Speaker 3: not to go on attentionent.
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: But but the locker room was talking about Powertown this weekend.
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: A lot of people I didn't realize pissed off about
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: this TNA figures. What was the Speedball was talking about
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: how really yeah, he ordered the entire TNA line. He's like,
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: I ordered those two years ago. Where are they?
- 1:50:23Speaker 3: Well now, if it's it's fit's Speedball complaining now, I
- 1:50:26Speaker 3: hope they never.
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: Come for those. For those not they know, I don't
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: blame them, you know, but I.
- 1:50:32Speaker 3: Mean, honestly, I feel terrible for like, like I wanted
- 1:50:35Speaker 3: Josh Alexander and his son to have like such a
- 1:50:37Speaker 3: moment with his first figure. That's he's growing up before
- 1:50:41Speaker 3: this thing freaking comes out.
- 1:50:42Speaker 2: So guys, Jordan Grace left TNA, went to NXC and
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: got on the w rath before a Powertown figure came
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: out and got a major product out. Yeah, anyway, so
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: my pick. I was thinking about what Mark said with
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: the Dudley's. I was also thinking about the other Dudley's,
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: like the ECW Dudley's I contemplay as well, you guys,
- 1:51:01Speaker 2: I think I'm crazy. I went with the Figure Collection
- 1:51:06Speaker 2: Hardy Boys Bone Crushing No, I mean I guess that
- 1:51:09Speaker 2: was gonna be on my retro list. It was right
- 1:51:11Speaker 2: there as a runner up. Like, to me, bone Crunchers
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: might be one of, if not my favorite toy lines ever,
- 1:51:20Speaker 2: and like these certainly could have fit. They could have
- 1:51:23Speaker 2: been the next too tough, you know, they could have
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: been Series ten or Series eleven, and they're just perfect.
- 1:51:30Speaker 2: And I absolutely love these figures. I really hope Jack
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: keeps the bone Crushing Wrestlers alive. So fun, so nostalgic,
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: and this is something that would look great autographed as well.
- 1:51:43Speaker 3: Which so I've gotten it and sold it on my
- 1:51:45Speaker 3: what and it looks awesome. I highly suggest it.
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: Yeah, so my pick was the Bone Crushing Wrestlers, Matt
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: and Jeff, the Hardy Boys from Figure Collections. D What
- 1:51:55Speaker 2: did the fans pick here for multi Pack of the Year.
- 1:51:59Speaker 8: Well, I think they were wanting to head down to
- 1:52:01Speaker 8: Dudleyville because.
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, wow, they this a chuchard. Can we get
- 1:52:08Speaker 2: this award bait and send it to Bully? Uh chu chu?
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:52:15Speaker 3: Like even kind of like you said, those the ecw
- 1:52:17Speaker 3: ones are very fun and good, but these are like,
- 1:52:20Speaker 3: forget about it, Like, what else could you want?
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: Well, you needed both of them anyways, But all right,
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: what's the next category?
- 1:52:28Speaker 8: Next category is a figure line of the year. I
- 1:52:32Speaker 8: kind of went with the easy way, but hey, it's
- 1:52:35Speaker 8: a it's the number one action figure in the USA.
- 1:52:37Speaker 8: It is the main line Elite Collection assortment. Over eighty
- 1:52:42Speaker 8: main line releases for the Elite Collection assortments.
- 1:52:44Speaker 3: So cool, actually, holy shit cool information.
- 1:52:47Speaker 8: So yeah, the standard waves were one thirteen through one twenty,
- 1:52:52Speaker 8: and then they had the greatest hits waves, which was
- 1:52:54Speaker 8: I think a wave five to weave eight.
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: How many has Bros exist? WWF Fast Bus.
- 1:53:01Speaker 2: Under one hundred or just over one hundred? Now it's
- 1:53:05Speaker 2: like high eighties, I think, Right, it.
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: All depends if you count.
- 1:53:10Speaker 8: I mean, if we're talking individual items, it's probably more
- 1:53:12Speaker 8: than especially.
- 1:53:14Speaker 3: The character kind of like card backs that have different
- 1:53:16Speaker 3: bark character figures, the characters.
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: Yeah, so ww in one year in just one of
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: their lines.
- 1:53:26Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a different a different world we're living.
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: Okay, okay, anyways.
- 1:53:33Speaker 3: Imagine we did this podcast in nineteen ninety one, what
- 1:53:35Speaker 3: will be talking about the news would be so slow?
- 1:53:37Speaker 2: Well, that's what people that's what people think we're doing.
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: We're like, how do you talk about figures every single week?
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: I'm like the news, like there's a lot going on.
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: There's actually more news nowadays than think about our new
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: segment today compared to like in twenty seventeen.
- 1:53:50Speaker 2: Oh of course or whatever.
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: Twenty eight sorry.
- 1:53:52Speaker 2: Because it was just Mattel exactly. It's literally literally just yeah.
- 1:53:57Speaker 8: But just about every wave had a first timeline character.
- 1:54:00Speaker 8: I think that was the first uh well, I don't
- 1:54:02Speaker 8: know if that was the first Timpany Stratt, but the
- 1:54:03Speaker 8: first elite Tiffany Stratton Trick Williams showed up return Naomi
- 1:54:08Speaker 8: and the Elite Collection assortment, and you also had in
- 1:54:11Speaker 8: like those uh starting in summer, I think we got
- 1:54:14Speaker 8: those those collectors edition John Cenas that also were featured
- 1:54:17Speaker 8: across the mainline Elite Collection assortment.
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: So a bunch of good stuff.
- 1:54:21Speaker 3: I do want to say, this is this, this era
- 1:54:23Speaker 3: that you have on the screen is one might be
- 1:54:25Speaker 3: my least favorite elite packaging of all time. I agree,
- 1:54:28Speaker 3: and I'm so glad they moved on from it because
- 1:54:30Speaker 3: it's it's.
- 1:54:32Speaker 8: Twenty twenty five. Had the cutoff windows so shortened window.
- 1:54:37Speaker 2: And Lindsey just disintegrate. Yeah, Mark, what was your check?
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: Your choice?
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: I picked the what I thought everybody who was gonna
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: pick was The Monday Night Worse.
- 1:54:52Speaker 3: Very fun.
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: I mean, was another for me, another nostalgia pick. But
- 1:54:56Speaker 1: it's just hitting so many holes and I think a
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: lot of collectors collections with the ultimates, with the elites.
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: It's so fun. There's deep cuts, but there's also characters
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: that we haven't ever gotten, and this year particular, like
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: they're all bangers. I don't, I don't know to bro. Yeah,
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: it's super cool. So that's what I picked.
- 1:55:17Speaker 8: Right, Albert, you got Albert, you got Shark, John Teg.
- 1:55:20Speaker 3: There was a lot of fun was this year. It's
- 1:55:21Speaker 3: a good pick as a wrestling fan and history buff.
- 1:55:26Speaker 3: I had I thought long and hard about this, but
- 1:55:29Speaker 3: I think because of those reasons, I went with Ringside
- 1:55:32Speaker 3: Collectibles Defining Moments.
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:55:35Speaker 3: I love that the packaging is a shout out to
- 1:55:38Speaker 3: wrestling figure history. I love that the items themselves represent
- 1:55:41Speaker 3: pro wrestling history. I love that that's not just, you know,
- 1:55:45Speaker 3: segmented to what we grew up on. Like you can
- 1:55:48Speaker 3: get a logan Paul in here that he did something
- 1:55:50Speaker 3: or won a title, and it kind of feeds both
- 1:55:52Speaker 3: hands and I love that. I think it's super fun
- 1:55:57Speaker 3: and I always look forward to when these are released,
- 1:55:59Speaker 3: So there you have it.
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: I also chose the Monday Night Wars. It's my favorite
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: line going. Like Mark said, there's just a wide variety.
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: You get some first time in the line guys, You
- 1:56:13Speaker 2: get like a superstar like Hogan, but in a unique look,
- 1:56:17Speaker 2: you know, an obscure, deep cut look. You get the ultimates,
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: and then the build of figures as well. So this
- 1:56:23Speaker 2: has been my favorite line to collect. And you know,
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: even though I passed on some of the figures, I
- 1:56:28Speaker 2: have to get them all to do the build of figures.
- 1:56:30Speaker 2: So it's just it's just it's really really fun and
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: that is my UH pick for a figure line of
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: the year.
- 1:56:39Speaker 8: And the fans they love their Ultimate Edition.
- 1:56:44Speaker 3: We were all just trying to steer clear of this
- 1:56:46Speaker 3: because it was like.
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, there's no denying like these Mattel what
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: they say, they are the ultimate version the best wrestling figures.
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: More times than not said character. You know, I do
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: think that At first I thought it was gonna be
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: like the defining ultimate version of the and they got
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: a little you know, but it is what it is,
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: toy lines five. I mean Series one is Warrior and WCW,
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: so it could never be that. So yeah, so I'm
- 1:57:19Speaker 2: a big fan of him. I love them. I don't
- 1:57:21Speaker 2: get them. I wasn't complete at at one point. I'm
- 1:57:22Speaker 2: not anymore, but I really appreciate them and just the
- 1:57:26Speaker 2: added articulation. It just it just feels ultimate to me.
- 1:57:31Speaker 8: Yeah, it's the plus up most before all this had
- 1:57:35Speaker 8: started with the entrance grades, then there was the funny moments,
- 1:57:38Speaker 8: and so now starting I think this has been going
- 1:57:41Speaker 8: since twenty eighteen with that Wave one with Round Rowsey
- 1:57:44Speaker 8: and Ultimate Warrior, and yeah, now we're going on. I
- 1:57:49Speaker 8: mean first one of twenty twenty six is is I
- 1:57:52Speaker 8: think Wave twenty eight. This is for twenty twenty five.
- 1:57:54Speaker 8: It was Waves twenty three through twenty seven. And you
- 1:57:58Speaker 8: also had those two greatest hits waves with with Seth
- 1:58:02Speaker 8: and that russ Wan you a three Hogan as well
- 1:58:04Speaker 8: as the Roman Reigns and Razor Ramone Redeco.
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: So just great. Do you remember when we thought we
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: would just get like four ultimates a.
- 1:58:12Speaker 2: Year, That's what I was thinking. It's wild.
- 1:58:18Speaker 8: Yeah, this was just main line that the major marst elected.
- 1:58:20Speaker 8: So in terms of just there's an Ultimate edition form
- 1:58:23Speaker 8: factor for every segment that they have, Monday Night, War Legends,
- 1:58:27Speaker 8: you name it.
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: I think they were just and I don't speak for them,
- 1:58:30Speaker 2: but I think they mean ultimately. You know, that's what
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: you just like you're say. Indeed, there's so many versions
- 1:58:34Speaker 2: of ultimates, there's now exclusively.
- 1:58:37Speaker 8: It specified on the poll that they they went ultimate
- 1:58:40Speaker 8: edition main line. So they went, they went with the
- 1:58:43Speaker 8: main line.
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: They said screw the exclusive ones. They don't like those
- 1:58:45Speaker 2: that with the main lines on. Well whatever, same, they
- 1:58:49Speaker 2: were great. I love them.
- 1:58:52Speaker 8: Yeah, Figure of the Year my pick. No one's uh,
- 1:58:56Speaker 8: no one's been talking about it. But a lot of
- 1:58:57Speaker 8: new tooling on this guy, at least not only kill killed.
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: What what.
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: Black gear?
- 1:59:06Speaker 8: But yeah, this is the definitive Stone Cold for the
- 1:59:09Speaker 8: time being for a lot of collectors, new Torso, new
- 1:59:13Speaker 8: updated arms.
- 1:59:14Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:59:15Speaker 8: Obviously they're existing arms, but for Stone Cold, Uh, they're
- 1:59:19Speaker 8: given They're given him his justice. Finally, the big beefy
- 1:59:22Speaker 8: thighs that collectors have been wanting for fifteen years. You're
- 1:59:26Speaker 8: big beef thighs, big jacked arms. I think two new
- 1:59:31Speaker 8: portraits for this particular release two and one, you get
- 1:59:34Speaker 8: the two and one, you get the handcuffs to re
- 1:59:37Speaker 8: recreate those iconic Attitude era moments. He's wasn't just arrested
- 1:59:40Speaker 8: one moment. Obviously, this is depicting that I think the
- 1:59:42Speaker 8: ninety eight arrest, but there was.
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: Probably That's how I posed it getting arrested.
- 1:59:48Speaker 8: And it also comes with the two beverage cans. So God,
- 1:59:57Speaker 8: you get so much here with this guy. And as
- 1:59:59Speaker 8: the updated are dropped down, hips brand new knee brace
- 2:00:02Speaker 8: that's going to be featured across not just Stone called
- 2:00:05Speaker 8: Steve Austin figures in the future, but also for Triple H.
- 2:00:07Speaker 8: So a lot of new stuff coming out of the
- 2:00:10Speaker 8: Monday Night War segment that is exclusive to walmart Ins
- 2:00:13Speaker 8: Toy Superstars.
- 2:00:14Speaker 3: Definitely a great figure. I just find it odd that
- 2:00:15Speaker 3: it just sits on Walmart shelves across the country. That's
- 2:00:18Speaker 3: that's strange to me.
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: But I just feel like you've gotten so many Black Trunk.
- 2:00:23Speaker 2: That's also it's hard to be but I do.
- 2:00:25Speaker 3: I do completely understand what he's saying, Like he does
- 2:00:27Speaker 3: have the This updated body is a better version than
- 2:00:30Speaker 3: what we've gotten the past.
- 2:00:31Speaker 1: Yeah, but kids aren't getting that, and and a lot
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: of collectors who aren't don't.
- 2:00:35Speaker 3: Have zillions to be a real figure. Is not like
- 2:00:37Speaker 3: us to be like, oh exactly, they did did him
- 2:00:40Speaker 3: justice because in the in the vest, you know the vest.
- 2:00:44Speaker 3: If the vest was there, I'd be all about this.
- 2:00:47Speaker 2: But yeah, well you can fix it up and give
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: We don't do pick ups here, come on, I do crazy.
- 2:00:53Speaker 4: Well.
- 2:00:53Speaker 1: I also picked stone Cold for the Best Figure of
- 2:00:56Speaker 1: the Year, a part of the Ultimate Edition, an Elite
- 2:00:59Speaker 1: Collection to Find.
- 2:01:00Speaker 8: Moment's four pack.
- 2:01:01Speaker 3: Oh you went with the bloody Yes.
- 2:01:04Speaker 8: The rest Winya thirteen inspired look first ever full bloody.
- 2:01:08Speaker 8: I mean technically that that defining moments. I think man
- 2:01:10Speaker 8: kind had a little speck of blood on the on
- 2:01:12Speaker 8: the tooth, but full blood on on a Wxtion figure
- 2:01:16Speaker 8: by Mattel.
- 2:01:17Speaker 1: So I'm sorry I was confused at what I was
- 2:01:19Speaker 1: looking at. Yes, I did the bloody Stonekle Steve Austin.
- 2:01:21Speaker 2: Yes, so I was going to pick this. I initially
- 2:01:24Speaker 2: didn't actually chose something else, but to me, like, this
- 2:01:27Speaker 2: is a figure, I mean the fact that we have
- 2:01:29Speaker 2: a bloody figure and it's from that iconic defining moment.
- 2:01:34Speaker 2: So cool with added value, with the with the shirt.
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: I believe there's a vest in there as well, right,
- 2:01:40Speaker 2: so there's like so much added value.
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember I did open this. I haven't displayed.
- 2:01:47Speaker 2: Guys.
- 2:01:47Speaker 3: It's something. I have this displayed in the Sharpshire without Bratt.
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: It broke me too.
- 2:01:53Speaker 3: I'm just waiting for Brett.
- 2:01:55Speaker 2: Me too.
- 2:01:56Speaker 3: I have him in the position ready to go. I
- 2:01:58Speaker 3: have him like any we're just waiting for Brett.
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: Now.
- 2:02:01Speaker 3: Oh, but he's behind like the handles of my doors.
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: He can't. It's not like an eye sore until then
- 2:02:07Speaker 2: I'll get I think I would just put in a
- 2:02:09Speaker 2: zip lock until the Brett came.
- 2:02:10Speaker 8: No, it's like a there is There is technically a
- 2:02:15Speaker 8: break in the wrestling of thirteen year, but it was
- 2:02:16Speaker 8: battle pack in the in the basic form factor.
- 2:02:19Speaker 3: Now, yeah, you look terrible. It wouldn't stay out.
- 2:02:24Speaker 1: The only thing I will say is, if you were
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: to like rank, if you were to rank career defining moments,
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: not figures, just just just wrestling defining moments, this is
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: number one.
- 2:02:37Speaker 2: I don't I mean, like like if you're looking at
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: the term of what that really means for somebody.
- 2:02:42Speaker 1: Yes, a Corolla maker, Yes, bleeding to uh to pass
- 2:02:46Speaker 1: out and doing a double turn at WrestleMania is the
- 2:02:50Speaker 1: number one angle.
- 2:02:52Speaker 3: Getting his head shave was probably pretty a relief. You know,
- 2:02:54Speaker 3: he's fighting male pattern baldness for so many years.
- 2:02:57Speaker 1: Hey, I mean those are tons of great ones, but
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: this is just a best.
- 2:03:03Speaker 3: Again, very difficult choice here, guys, we're just so blessed
- 2:03:07Speaker 3: this like world we're living, and with wrestling figures, it's ridiculous.
- 2:03:11Speaker 2: I had runner ups in my mind.
- 2:03:12Speaker 3: This Paul Hayman right here on the screen, defining moments,
- 2:03:15Speaker 3: just something I never thought I would have, something I
- 2:03:18Speaker 3: think people neither have like in their hand to appreciate,
- 2:03:20Speaker 3: like the girth of him and that he's like, he's
- 2:03:22Speaker 3: not just like this generic suited body figures. There's a
- 2:03:25Speaker 3: lot of really awesome details in that figure. Naomi Elite
- 2:03:29Speaker 3: one seventeen. Obviously, she's my good friend and I was
- 2:03:32Speaker 3: so happy for her to see in return, and they
- 2:03:34Speaker 3: knocked that out of the park. It's such a especially
- 2:03:36Speaker 3: for our mainline figure. I feel like it's like above
- 2:03:38Speaker 3: and beyond great figure. The other very very close runner
- 2:03:43Speaker 3: up I had in my mind was the Great Mood
- 2:03:44Speaker 3: of Ultimate Obviously, you know I think the chase one
- 2:03:48Speaker 3: is give or take whatever you know, your preferences. But
- 2:03:50Speaker 3: that's something I don't think we'd ever thought we'd see.
- 2:03:53Speaker 3: And they matell crush that it's such an amazing figure,
- 2:03:57Speaker 3: but I had to go jazz Wears, will Osprey Supreme
- 2:04:02Speaker 3: Rings like collectibles exclusive, Like I have no reason to,
- 2:04:08Speaker 3: you know, to picck this, like like I'm no like
- 2:04:11Speaker 3: sentimental ties to will Osprey, But this is like an
- 2:04:15Speaker 3: unbelievable action figure.
- 2:04:17Speaker 2: You open this up.
- 2:04:19Speaker 3: The options, the hands, the heads, the robe is breathtaking
- 2:04:23Speaker 3: lye like insanely detailed, and the work of art, the deco,
- 2:04:28Speaker 3: hit just everything is just such a perfect figure, like
- 2:04:32Speaker 3: almost something that makes me like jealous.
- 2:04:34Speaker 2: I wish it was like of me like that to
- 2:04:36Speaker 2: that level of like just perfectness. So there you go. Yeah.
- 2:04:41Speaker 8: Originally exclusive to Walmart, then pivoted to jazz Re's vault,
- 2:04:44Speaker 8: but also rings I Clickables also had a few of
- 2:04:46Speaker 8: these available as well. Probably sold out now, but yeah, Christmas, Yeah,
- 2:04:53Speaker 8: all right, Matt, your pick.
- 2:04:55Speaker 2: All right, my pick for Figure of the Year. It
- 2:04:58Speaker 2: was tough, Like like I said earlier, I was initially
- 2:05:01Speaker 2: I did submit that Stone Cold Steve Austin. But then
- 2:05:05Speaker 2: after I did a little more research, I switched it
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: to the Hulk still rules. Ultimate addition, like this is
- 2:05:13Speaker 2: the comeback version of Hogan, the two thousand and two
- 2:05:19Speaker 2: Hollywood Hulk Kogan. He comes back, becomes the underspeted Champion.
- 2:05:22Speaker 2: Like I think you just had to be a fan
- 2:05:25Speaker 2: during this time period. I think we talked about it
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: when it first came out, like this was the first
- 2:05:30Speaker 2: time nostalgia was a thing in pro wrestling, at least
- 2:05:33Speaker 2: that I can remember. You know, because this is your
- 2:05:36Speaker 2: Hogan that you you know, he comes in as the
- 2:05:38Speaker 2: nWo but you're cheering him so fucking loud at Mania
- 2:05:43Speaker 2: that they gotta pivot, they gotta switch. And then he
- 2:05:45Speaker 2: comes out as like this hybrid Hollywood and red and Yellow.
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: So it like wasn't super cheesy, it was still cool.
- 2:05:51Speaker 2: It still had the the the black scruff, but had
- 2:05:54Speaker 2: the red and yellow man. Like, I absolutely love this.
- 2:05:58Speaker 2: It was my first time ill in nostalgia in life
- 2:06:01Speaker 2: in pro wrestling, and now it's celebrated in figure form.
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: You've been asking for this figure since like the beginning
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: of the podcast.
- 2:06:09Speaker 2: Yeah, And the sad thing is I bought an extra
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: to get it signed, and unfortunately he passed away. So
- 2:06:15Speaker 2: I don't know if there's many or any of the
- 2:06:19Speaker 2: sign out aught of that. Wow. I I don't know
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: if if the math mass you know if I don't
- 2:06:26Speaker 2: know if it, if it if it soon got in time, right, Yeah,
- 2:06:29Speaker 2: I'm not sure. But to me, this is a fronter
- 2:06:32Speaker 2: with the with and I'm a sucker for that undisputed title.
- 2:06:35Speaker 2: You know, I'm a sucker for it. I love it.
- 2:06:38Speaker 2: Nice Tan, this this Hulk still rules Hollywood. Hulk Cogan
- 2:06:42Speaker 2: is my pick for a Figure of the Year.
- 2:06:47Speaker 8: And the Major Marks for their pick, they went with
- 2:06:52Speaker 8: the aw unrivaled Supreme Collection, will Ospray exclusively, Jets Result
- 2:06:57Speaker 8: and Ringside Collectibles.
- 2:06:58Speaker 3: I'm telling you guys, it's it actually doesn't really do
- 2:07:01Speaker 3: much justice in the box like that, but I don't
- 2:07:04Speaker 3: know what else.
- 2:07:05Speaker 8: Yeah, it comes with the alternate legs because technically I
- 2:07:07Speaker 8: think this is based off of like Revolution twenty twenty four.
- 2:07:11Speaker 8: I'm guessing I think it was twenty twenty four, so
- 2:07:13Speaker 8: he doesn't have the fully update tattoos. We'll see if
- 2:07:16Speaker 8: they get to update a tats for Osprey this year.
- 2:07:20Speaker 8: And it also has those interchangeable dynasty legs. So technically
- 2:07:24Speaker 8: only one of these outfits goes with that goes with
- 2:07:26Speaker 8: that soft goods jacket.
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: But I was gonna say that budget. But you have
- 2:07:29Speaker 1: like if you're playing with it or whatever, then you
- 2:07:32Speaker 1: have Yeah, you have two looks.
- 2:07:34Speaker 8: Yeah, and you have I think the two alternate portraits,
- 2:07:36Speaker 8: a bunch of different options with the hands.
- 2:07:39Speaker 1: So only a matter of time before they.
- 2:07:41Speaker 8: Have a rings like Collecble was exclusive continental version of
- 2:07:45Speaker 8: of Little Osprey. So we'll see, we'll see how many
- 2:07:49Speaker 8: more Osprey figures get pumped out just for twenty twenty
- 2:07:52Speaker 8: six alone.
- 2:07:53Speaker 2: So true, what a second. Boys, thank you so much.
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: That was a lot of a lot of talk and
- 2:08:00Speaker 2: a lot of cool figures. Good problem to have.
- 2:08:02Speaker 3: I like these eight. These are the eight worth talking about.
- 2:08:06Speaker 3: Makes this whole thing better though.
- 2:08:08Speaker 2: Yeah, if anything we could cut for next year, I
- 2:08:11Speaker 2: think it's maybe worse figure of the year. You know
- 2:08:14Speaker 2: what else we cut this year was place out of
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: the year. There's not enough playset thing.
- 2:08:18Speaker 8: There was a good amount of bundles with the rings.
- 2:08:23Speaker 2: No, it's like you're just giving someone an award like
- 2:08:25Speaker 2: a participation truck.
- 2:08:26Speaker 3: Yeah, literally, like that money the redecoed money in the
- 2:08:29Speaker 3: bank would be like, we.
- 2:08:30Speaker 2: Don't give away participation truck.
- 2:08:32Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to work that knuckle.
- 2:08:34Speaker 8: The knuckle Cruncher's Final Boss microphone place set. I think
- 2:08:37Speaker 8: it's sill available on ringside. Use code Major to save
- 2:08:39Speaker 8: ten percent and check it now.
- 2:08:40Speaker 2: D would have given, well, there's only one thing out there.
- 2:08:43Speaker 2: You can't give an award for best thing. If there's
- 2:08:46Speaker 2: that's ridiculous.
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: That's the most different you could have chosen.
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: But yeah, when when you have to google what came out,
- 2:08:53Speaker 2: there wasn't enough boom. You know.

- 2:13:35Speaker 3: as hits. It's kind of like a little snaffoo if
- 2:13:38Speaker 3: you will, But that's the deal. Cody Rhoads. I was
- 2:13:41Speaker 3: blown away. I thought this was a head but it's
- 2:13:43Speaker 3: actually a soft like plastic mask and it comes up easily.
- 2:13:48Speaker 3: It comes up very easily. Yeah, has a little band
- 2:13:51Speaker 3: in the back. Yeah, okay, I didn't know that. Yeah,
- 2:13:55Speaker 3: I thought it was just a whole nother mold. We
- 2:13:58Speaker 3: get the scream, we had stoic head hands, really cool.
- 2:14:03Speaker 3: The belt has Cody plates. That's the first time. Yeah,
- 2:14:08Speaker 3: but really really nice piece. Cody again having a hell
- 2:14:12Speaker 3: of a week because he's got the fresh defining moments
- 2:14:18Speaker 3: which depicts him from a Saturday night's main event of
- 2:14:20Speaker 3: the Nassau.
- 2:14:21Speaker 2: I'll see him.
- 2:14:22Speaker 3: My kids were there wearing the winged Eagle, and for
- 2:14:26Speaker 3: you belt snobs, that's not me. But I can even
- 2:14:28Speaker 3: tell that this is like the most souped up, detailed,
- 2:14:32Speaker 3: best version of that winged Eagle that's ever been done
- 2:14:34Speaker 3: by Matella.
- 2:14:36Speaker 2: That makes that I must I'm super jealous of him
- 2:14:38Speaker 2: that he had that figure with the winged eagle.
- 2:14:40Speaker 3: And this bad boy Netflix debut pent Dad, I'm actually
- 2:14:47Speaker 3: gonna rip this open air alive and do an unboxing.
- 2:14:51Speaker 3: I'm pretty excited. I call him the most toyatic man
- 2:14:53Speaker 3: in wrestling.
- 2:14:54Speaker 1: I call him the coolest man in wrestling. Penta and
- 2:14:57Speaker 1: I'm talking about just the regular guy.
- 2:14:59Speaker 3: I still don't ever really met him, just a quick
- 2:15:02Speaker 3: wave at a convention. I want to say one time.
- 2:15:06Speaker 3: I'm actually, what's the figure? Nerd to me is really cool.
- 2:15:10Speaker 3: You can't even look at that all background there. The
- 2:15:14Speaker 3: figure nerd to me is very excited to see how
- 2:15:16Speaker 3: this this face plate works. You switch around the Yeah,
- 2:15:20Speaker 3: so take a look here before I rip it open.
- 2:15:23Speaker 3: Oh that is super he hung out and then there
- 2:15:27Speaker 3: he's got two more face plates to change his facial
- 2:15:31Speaker 3: expression and it looks like it looks seamless, like I
- 2:15:34Speaker 3: don't know how.
- 2:15:36Speaker 1: Yeah, he thinks there he couldn't do that with a
- 2:15:38Speaker 1: regular face.
- 2:15:39Speaker 3: But because because of how he is right?
- 2:15:42Speaker 2: Yeah, am I incorrect in saying that Penta debuted at
- 2:15:46Speaker 2: the first raw on Netflix? I literally just said. So
- 2:15:49Speaker 2: what I'm saying, So this figure comes out in about
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: twelve months, it's like to date, right, yeah, right, Well,
- 2:15:58Speaker 2: first off, oh my god, the figure is Yeah. I
- 2:16:02Speaker 2: thought that basic last week was sick.
- 2:16:04Speaker 1: I mean this is like still have that basic.
- 2:16:06Speaker 8: The mouthplate is interchangement with these mouthplates.
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: I couldn't tell, Like it's so it's so well done,
- 2:16:12Speaker 2: it's seamless that I can't.
- 2:16:13Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a lot of yeah, the way you engineer it.
- 2:16:16Speaker 8: I mean there's even we were talking about those Jack
- 2:16:18Speaker 8: Simpsons figures. A lot of those people wouldn't even know
- 2:16:21Speaker 8: that there's glue operations that are on those figures.
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: But I don't know.
- 2:16:25Speaker 3: My fingers are like too big, Like how do you like,
- 2:16:28Speaker 3: I don't even know how to do it?
- 2:16:30Speaker 8: Just pull forward?
- 2:16:31Speaker 2: How do you pull forward?
- 2:16:33Speaker 1: Pull toward you.
- 2:16:36Speaker 2: Maybe get your nail under there or something.
- 2:16:37Speaker 3: I'm scared. Oh now the nail did the trick, all right.
- 2:16:43Speaker 3: So I just popped off the tongue and then I'm
- 2:16:46Speaker 3: going with just a straight up teethy one. Wow, that
- 2:16:49Speaker 3: is crazy.
- 2:16:52Speaker 2: I think you gotta go tongue out right. Yeah, I know,
- 2:16:54Speaker 2: but I just want the technology was so fascinating I
- 2:16:57Speaker 2: love it. I think it's very unique.
- 2:17:00Speaker 3: And he wore this song like huge hands, So I'm
- 2:17:02Speaker 3: struggling with some of those.
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: But I feel like this is based off of the
- 2:17:06Speaker 1: Netflix debut.
- 2:17:06Speaker 8: But I think it was on the second episode of Rot.
- 2:17:08Speaker 2: Netflix, so oh okay, it's like unreal.
- 2:17:14Speaker 3: So yeah, there's screaming, closed mouth and tongue.
- 2:17:18Speaker 1: Well he only stuck his tongue out on episode.
- 2:17:23Speaker 3: Oh and I also, wow, I didn't realize he has
- 2:17:25Speaker 3: like so this one. I don't know if you guys
- 2:17:26Speaker 3: can tell. He kind of has like it's bent, like

- 2:18:34Speaker 2: get back to wrestlings for a second. I got this
- 2:18:36Speaker 2: from Target.
- 2:18:39Speaker 3: Pipper's Pit random shipping notification until if forgot even.
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: Boys, I think, and Brian, you tell me what you're
- 2:18:51Speaker 2: gonna do. I think I'm gonna keep Piper and the
- 2:18:53Speaker 2: Piper's Pit and see you later, Paul Order, see you later,
- 2:18:56Speaker 2: Bob Morton, I cannot decide. I have not even and
- 2:19:00Speaker 2: I gotta do some comparisons, like.
- 2:19:02Speaker 8: Are you just gonna have the set be empty them
- 2:19:04Speaker 8: just with Piper?
- 2:19:05Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:19:05Speaker 3: I mean I don't really even have the real estate
- 2:19:09Speaker 3: for a reason, I don't know.
- 2:19:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry, sorry cowboy, Bob, Sorry, wonder I got
- 2:19:15Speaker 2: don't know And to me.
- 2:19:17Speaker 3: It's like I think the Coliseum collection Piper is basically
- 2:19:20Speaker 3: the same thing and just more souped up, right, So.
- 2:19:22Speaker 2: That if that's the case, then I might cut Piper
- 2:19:25Speaker 2: just keep the pit. Yeah, I don't know that that
- 2:19:28Speaker 2: might be possible. The chairs are unreal.
- 2:19:29Speaker 3: Do they look like something that would be like a
- 2:19:31Speaker 3: grandma's house?
- 2:19:32Speaker 2: So cool? Yeah, such a great set.
- 2:19:35Speaker 8: I think the soft goods on that Piper's pit for
- 2:19:38Speaker 8: the three pack, I think that one actually has like
- 2:19:39Speaker 8: the Ringer, whereas the other one didn't. That was like
- 2:19:42Speaker 8: the pre Ringer tea the collection.
- 2:19:44Speaker 3: And that might not be enough.
- 2:19:46Speaker 2: Oh, actually, the you know what Cosum collection I don't
- 2:19:48Speaker 2: count as elites. I don't count's ultimate. I'm sorry. I
- 2:19:51Speaker 2: keep count the thing, so I'll definitely be keeping this.
- 2:19:55Speaker 2: I also my stereo Halloween. He what a fun figure.
- 2:19:59Speaker 2: I opened it before the show started. Here I'm gonna
- 2:20:03Speaker 2: I'm gonna display mass ripped.
- 2:20:05Speaker 3: So I was literally google opening this and then got
- 2:20:08Speaker 3: my wheel spinning. I was googling pictures. So this is
- 2:20:11Speaker 3: like pre match, right because he also has the soft
- 2:20:16Speaker 3: goods like removable entrance belt that he wore. Yeah, so
- 2:20:20Speaker 3: he takes that off to wrestle, and then he also
- 2:20:23Speaker 3: wins the belt like you can't put the belt on
- 2:20:26Speaker 3: him right, and then you get the ripped mask.
- 2:20:28Speaker 2: So I think I'm going to go that route to
- 2:20:29Speaker 2: risk that's been holding the belt up its Unfortunately, it
- 2:20:33Speaker 2: is a cool accessory, you know, the mask necklace kind
- 2:20:36Speaker 2: of deal has got to go. But he's not wearing
- 2:20:39Speaker 2: that good thing. He's not wearing that post.
- 2:20:42Speaker 3: He doesn't wear it in the match.
- 2:20:43Speaker 2: It's like he wears it.
- 2:20:44Speaker 1: To the lea.
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: That's that's why he listened to the major podcast.
- 2:20:46Speaker 8: Yeah, but you can you compare it with that Monday
- 2:20:49Speaker 8: Night wore Eddie Carurero. Where is in that same outfit.
- 2:20:53Speaker 2: I got the whole line of legends. I think these
- 2:20:56Speaker 2: are all Musk keeps for me this mind it. I
- 2:20:59Speaker 2: didn't get any note those. Yeah, so I got British
- 2:21:01Speaker 2: Bulldog with the long hair and the shorts. I got
- 2:21:06Speaker 2: Kurt head Egg, which I'm keeping like this in the trunks.
- 2:21:09Speaker 2: I appreciate the single it, but I'm not keeping that.
- 2:21:11Speaker 2: I'm keeping the title on him the added value.
- 2:21:14Speaker 3: But someone posted that Kurt like loose in the group,
- 2:21:17Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh man, that's like a kind of
- 2:21:19Speaker 3: it's a weird cut, but it's like a dream figure
- 2:21:21Speaker 3: for me, man like.
- 2:21:23Speaker 2: Kurt. Definitely keeping this Kurt heading with the title Bobby
- 2:21:27Speaker 2: the Brain. I think I'm also keeping in the nice red.
- 2:21:32Speaker 2: It's not spark as sparkly as I would like.
- 2:21:37Speaker 3: But that's the first time with hands and do the
- 2:21:39Speaker 3: point and stuff, so.
- 2:21:40Speaker 2: It's I think it's a must. And then again another
- 2:21:43Speaker 2: musk for me is mister money in the bank, Rob
- 2:21:46Speaker 2: Bandam is that like two thousand and six? Yes, it
- 2:21:50Speaker 2: works for me, That works for you worse two thousand
- 2:21:53Speaker 2: and seven, got you? Okay? So I think this is
- 2:21:58Speaker 2: the one. Is this what he wore Rustle Maine at
- 2:22:00Speaker 2: twenty two? I believe so yeah, yeah, so when I.
- 2:22:05Speaker 8: When I do my cuts, so technically technically, I mean
- 2:22:08Speaker 8: he I'm pretty sure he wore that single it after
- 2:22:11Speaker 8: ross Many twenty two with the customer's briefcase, because at
- 2:22:13Speaker 8: riss Many twenty two he didn't automatically right away, of.
- 2:22:15Speaker 2: Course, and there's some things you got to make except
- 2:22:18Speaker 2: before because this is but uh but yeah, hey question.
- 2:22:21Speaker 1: But the guys that Raymisterio, we we there was an
- 2:22:25Speaker 1: elite one before him. We could just get rid of that.

- 2:26:25Speaker 3: So you just damaged every single package. Yeah, that's why
- 2:26:28Speaker 3: I throw a couple of quick hits. My boy Miles
- 2:26:31Speaker 3: a collector. He sent a little care package for me
- 2:26:34Speaker 3: and Broski. I think he thought this was gonna be
- 2:26:36Speaker 3: Brosky's brand new shirt, but it was only for a
- 2:26:39Speaker 3: short amount of time. He makes like the nicest soft
- 2:26:42Speaker 3: goods resting figure stuff out there. I think today. Check
- 2:26:46Speaker 3: it out. You know it's two sided Broski. The week
- 2:26:49Speaker 3: I think Mark hadis in college. He lisn't through this
- 2:26:53Speaker 3: one in your package. We could probably give us the
- 2:26:57Speaker 3: old school sting shirt. One of my ex students I
- 2:27:01Speaker 3: saw at ken Con apparently opened a wrestling soap company,
- 2:27:05Speaker 3: top Rope Soap, all natural stuff. I'm gonna give that
- 2:27:08Speaker 3: a try. I have very sensitive skin, so I'm down
- 2:27:10Speaker 3: with this. But I picked out up Babyface and this
- 2:27:13Speaker 3: one is sleeper Hole.
- 2:27:15Speaker 2: I like it.
- 2:27:16Speaker 3: A grail item that's just straight up me tena nerd
- 2:27:21Speaker 3: thing that I've had on my save listings for like
- 2:27:23Speaker 3: two or three years now, finally popped up. Oh, let's

- 2:27:54Speaker 3: or three years. Finally came it. As a collector, you
- 2:27:57Speaker 3: guys know that's a good feeling. And last but not least,
- 2:28:01Speaker 3: my favorite thing I got this week the man that
- 2:28:04Speaker 3: just got absolutely screwed and I hope this Friday he
- 2:28:07Speaker 3: gets his win back because.
- 2:28:09Speaker 2: Your toxic MEC.
- 2:28:12Speaker 3: Your toxic I can't that now look at him.
- 2:28:17Speaker 2: I feel like I need that for my collection.
- 2:28:18Speaker 1: Now there you go, guys, you.
- 2:28:20Speaker 3: Work J and J Figures, by the way, shout out
- 2:28:22Speaker 3: to the ball.
- 2:28:23Speaker 2: Well not guys I worked with, but like my miscellaneous guys,
- 2:28:26Speaker 2: I squashed shelf. No like I I think I'll put
- 2:28:30Speaker 2: like the striker and uh Corvaan for my debut and
- 2:28:35Speaker 2: then debut. Yeah, my maccno history shelf right, I gotta
- 2:28:40Speaker 2: is that still on ringside? I gotta get that.
- 2:28:43Speaker 8: Probably not. I think it was like one eleven on
- 2:28:45Speaker 8: It's getting up there, came out last year, all right.
- 2:28:47Speaker 2: Let me rap it fire through some things, junk shop,
- 2:28:49Speaker 2: dog killing it. They also made some ton of hashish.
- 2:28:54Speaker 2: Sent them both to me. Now, I don't know which
- 2:28:56Speaker 2: one I need to keep. That they're not just repaints,
- 2:28:58Speaker 2: they're different molds in the head, which that was really
- 2:29:00Speaker 2: really cool something I didn't realize in advance.
- 2:29:03Speaker 8: It's a different nupper body, different upper body as well. Okay, no, no,
- 2:29:07Speaker 8: you're saying different upper body because because the head's different.
- 2:29:09Speaker 2: True, true, right. So I don't know which one I
- 2:29:12Speaker 2: want to keep. But awesome, and I mean a lot
- 2:29:14Speaker 2: of people.
- 2:29:15Speaker 8: I mean when people, at least from what I gauge,
- 2:29:18Speaker 8: is that people usually picture ton Hashi in white gear.
- 2:29:20Speaker 3: And I think that's what I mean. Yeah, Like I said,
- 2:29:23Speaker 3: the one that the black.
- 2:29:25Speaker 8: Tights, the one that's in the black tights, I think
- 2:29:26Speaker 8: is the one that the n JPW Super seventh figure
- 2:29:29Speaker 8: is based off of.
- 2:29:31Speaker 2: But that one actually maybe this is the one I
- 2:29:33Speaker 2: do keep in the white. But speaking of Japanese legends,
- 2:29:39Speaker 2: look at this the death match King Matt Car. Did
- 2:29:43Speaker 2: we talk about this last week?
- 2:29:45Speaker 3: Did those come in like right after we logged off
- 2:29:47Speaker 3: or something? They must have right, because you were selling
- 2:29:50Speaker 3: them on your one on on Monday and I was going, man,
- 2:29:52Speaker 3: we didn't really like yeah, So.
- 2:29:54Speaker 2: Uh, this is incredible for those who don't know I, I,
- 2:29:58Speaker 2: you know, work with junk Yo junk Up Dog in
- 2:30:00Speaker 2: advance because I knew I three you know me, I'm
- 2:30:03Speaker 2: a figure who I try to get any figure I could,
- 2:30:05Speaker 2: but didn't make sense to get a junk shop dog
- 2:30:06Speaker 2: because he only does Japanese wrestles. Said well, I'm actually
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: going to DDT for three shows. What if we plan
- 2:30:12Speaker 2: three outfits, three figures and we did it and this
- 2:30:15Speaker 2: is the first one in the King Koopa.
- 2:30:18Speaker 3: That's the kind of forward thinking that makes your indie
- 2:30:20Speaker 3: run absurd, Right, So that's not a shot. That's an observation.
- 2:30:27Speaker 2: SDL needs because she's on the package. She's actually on
- 2:30:29Speaker 2: the package of all three of them because they didn't
- 2:30:30Speaker 2: switch the packaging. But this is incredible. Gear this when
- 2:30:33Speaker 2: I won the DDT Universal Championship and why this figure
- 2:30:36Speaker 2: means so much to me. Is because when I was
- 2:30:38Speaker 2: in Japan, my my grandma passed away and I obviously
- 2:30:42Speaker 2: couldn't leave Japan to get back there in time. So
- 2:30:45Speaker 2: like I just wrote like Nana on my wrist tape
- 2:30:48Speaker 2: and it's on the figure.
- 2:30:49Speaker 3: Yeah, so say you're a post about that. I had
- 2:30:51Speaker 3: no idea or at least I don't remember that.
- 2:30:52Speaker 2: So she was a little hit in detail, you know that.
- 2:30:55Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, like can we include this? Like why not? Right?
- 2:30:58Speaker 2: And they did it? So I really really love this figure.
- 2:31:01Speaker 2: The King Koopa s gear from when I won the championship,
- 2:31:06Speaker 2: and then there's there's there's two other ones. So then
- 2:31:09Speaker 2: there's the USA when I wrestled machi Ito and I
- 2:31:13Speaker 2: was covered in blood, so you can get that as well.
- 2:31:17Speaker 2: I'm not going to open those right here. And then
- 2:31:19Speaker 2: the the all black and gold Indie god like written
- 2:31:23Speaker 2: in Japan Japanese writing from when I lost the U
- 2:31:27Speaker 2: the DDT Championship. So get them all junk Shop, Dog
- 2:31:32Speaker 2: dot Com, get them. Yeah, I have a bunch. Obviously
- 2:31:37Speaker 2: I won't be able to sell them, so I don't
- 2:31:38Speaker 2: know what to do with them. Was really really cool, Yeah,
- 2:31:42Speaker 2: I don't know, really really cool. I just love this
- 2:31:45Speaker 2: style of figure, the Pope figure, and.
- 2:31:47Speaker 3: It's very fun. Actually, Uh, Jane j had a nice
- 2:31:50Speaker 3: booth set up at Kenkon and I walked TJ over
- 2:31:53Speaker 3: just because I know he's such a Japanese wrestling nostalgia guy.
- 2:31:56Speaker 3: Like to see him, like, do you know they make these?
- 2:31:57Speaker 3: It's pretty cool, you know, to see the array of talent.
- 2:32:01Speaker 2: John schrap Dog made some incredible stuff and he's an
- 2:32:03Speaker 2: incredible guy. So I'm honored to be in the line.
- 2:32:06Speaker 2: And uh, I love my time in DDT uh some
- 2:32:09Speaker 2: of the best, you know, even though it's just three shows,
- 2:32:11Speaker 2: it was just oh man, they I just loved it.
- 2:32:13Speaker 2: I loved Japan. I love everything about Japan. I can't
- 2:32:16Speaker 2: wait to go back there now with with wwe Uh
- 2:32:19Speaker 2: do you guys have anything else?
- 2:32:20Speaker 3: Or I'm done donezo? Okay, guys.
- 2:32:24Speaker 2: So when I was taking apart my toy room, I
- 2:32:30Speaker 2: was analyzing my has bros. Right, and I was giving
- 2:32:34Speaker 2: him what I have to call the click click boom test.
- 2:32:37Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

- 2:32:40Speaker 3: big league me about my piper.
- 2:32:41Speaker 2: Yeah, did you have did you fix them by the
- 2:32:43Speaker 2: way like I will and I see it. I'm not
- 2:32:45Speaker 2: gonna move my mind about it. But also my Machoman's
- 2:32:48Speaker 2: like the same way. I don't know if there's something
- 2:32:50Speaker 2: about the white Enhasbro figures and boots like and I
- 2:32:54Speaker 2: agree with you, Brian, like my my Lucy's don't need
- 2:32:58Speaker 2: to be ten out of tend minute because we had
- 2:32:59Speaker 2: them in on card and then there's that, right, But
- 2:33:03Speaker 2: then there were there were six has Bros that I
- 2:33:05Speaker 2: had that I felt not were they not ten to ten?
- 2:33:09Speaker 2: I don't even think they were like eight to ten.
- 2:33:11Speaker 2: And I was like, I can't do this. Okay, I'm
- 2:33:13Speaker 2: Matt Cardona, I'm the Michael Jordan collecting. I can't do this.
- 2:33:18Speaker 2: If you follow Mabel Toys on Instagram, he's a crazy
- 2:33:21Speaker 2: s ob but he has like a store of I
- 2:33:24Speaker 2: don't know what he does. He just buys up entire
- 2:33:26Speaker 2: hasmost collections. So he is like, I need to go
- 2:33:28Speaker 2: vlog at his as little setup. He has like a
- 2:33:31Speaker 2: whole thing a skinner like it's by character. So I said, dude,
- 2:33:35Speaker 2: these are the guys I'm looking for. Can you find
- 2:33:37Speaker 2: me the mintiest mints that you got? So here we go.
- 2:33:42Speaker 2: We got said justice, I think weird my fingers mine
- 2:33:48Speaker 2: mine had the click click boom problem. Okay, and it
- 2:33:52Speaker 2: wasn't even like totally broken, but a little broken. And
- 2:33:55Speaker 2: I'm a psycho, right, you know what I'm saying. So
- 2:33:58Speaker 2: this this sid uh, you know, works perfectly. He also
- 2:34:02Speaker 2: got me a Nasty Boys Brian Knobs. Okay, so now
- 2:34:07Speaker 2: these are like ten out of ten, if not nine
- 2:34:09Speaker 2: out of ten. Yeah, it looks great. Okay, this one
- 2:34:13Speaker 2: was hard to get one Purple Warrior yep. Okay, Now
- 2:34:17Speaker 2: this is where it gets crazy, guys. Okay, he was
- 2:34:23Speaker 2: tracked down this for me because I wanted a minty
- 2:34:28Speaker 2: minty minty Hogan out. This packaging is not minty minty
- 2:34:30Speaker 2: mint Yeah, obviously that's what.
- 2:34:32Speaker 3: It's meant for. Now to let him breathe, Let it
- 2:34:35Speaker 3: breathe right now? Did you even use like pressure to
- 2:34:39Speaker 3: get that off the bubble?
- 2:34:42Speaker 2: We have a minty minty mint Hogan. Honestly, there's a
- 2:34:47Speaker 2: little little hiccup in the action. What No, it's working,
- 2:34:52Speaker 2: it's working, but you're not here. There's a lot, no,
- 2:34:55Speaker 2: but the mechanisms breakover time is just really nothing. There's
- 2:34:59Speaker 2: like we've talked about it before. Whatever the mechanism is
- 2:35:04Speaker 2: on the axle rotten into Jerry Ecw figures it just
- 2:35:08Speaker 2: breaks like there's nothing like you can do, it deteriorates
- 2:35:13Speaker 2: or something on the inside. So there's a Hogan Mint
- 2:35:16Speaker 2: and the guys this work gets nuts because he had
- 2:35:18Speaker 2: a Luger and a Yoko. But I'm like, it's not
- 2:35:22Speaker 2: quite meant for me. I'm like, how mint you got?
- 2:35:24Speaker 2: And he said, I gott oh, no, don't do that.
- 2:35:31Speaker 2: Don't know, No, dude, don't do that. How crazy would
- 2:35:39Speaker 2: it be? Just has some patience room's not even set up.
- 2:35:42Speaker 2: Just how crazy would it? No, why would you need
- 2:35:46Speaker 2: to do this? You don't even do it. You don't
- 2:35:50Speaker 2: even have out of the package. How crazy would it
- 2:35:56Speaker 2: be to take the total package out of the pack.
- 2:36:00Speaker 3: Well, technically that's a narcissist, but that.
- 2:36:02Speaker 2: Was the narcissist Lex Luger, Minty, Minty, Minty. His action
- 2:36:08Speaker 2: looks like it works good. And then do not open
- 2:36:11Speaker 2: a green car?
- 2:36:12Speaker 3: Yeah, stop, that thing is mint Then you can find
- 2:36:15Speaker 3: a beat up green card.
- 2:36:22Speaker 2: No, no, almighty Yoko. He basically just.
- 2:36:30Speaker 3: Took like three hundred dollars and just set it on fire.
- 2:36:34Speaker 2: So I don't get it empty mint.
- 2:36:38Speaker 3: Yeah, of course I freaking open a thirty year old figure.
- 2:36:40Speaker 3: But if it wasn't, wasn't that sually it wasn't. Yeah,
- 2:36:45Speaker 3: but yeah, there it is.
- 2:36:46Speaker 2: So I got Yoko Warrior Hogan knobs, sit and luger.
- 2:36:50Speaker 1: What was wrong with your Yoko that you needed that?
- 2:36:52Speaker 2: There's like something like on the feet, like his his
- 2:36:54Speaker 2: feet are his feet chip Yoko's feet chips?
- 2:36:57Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 2:36:58Speaker 2: Yeah, please Jesus Christ.

- 2:39:59Speaker 2: Open lexit, yoga, hass bros, Billy Peck. That's got to
- 2:40:02Speaker 2: be a clip, right, we gotta make a clip of that.
- 2:40:04Speaker 1: Oh yeah, come on, I assume you did it for
- 2:40:06Speaker 1: a clip.
- 2:40:08Speaker 2: All right.
- 2:40:09Speaker 1: Questions, we got a mass questionnaire. If you could pick
- 2:40:13Speaker 1: one figure that has come out in the past five
- 2:40:16Speaker 1: years and take it back in time with you to
- 2:40:18Speaker 1: when you were a kid to play with your fig fed. WHOA,
- 2:40:20Speaker 1: This is a great question. I figure that you would
- 2:40:22Speaker 1: be blown away by as a kid. What would it be?
- 2:40:26Speaker 4: Man?
- 2:40:26Speaker 2: I think just the figures in general are so great,
- 2:40:28Speaker 2: But to me it's more so like the play set's
- 2:40:32Speaker 2: like I don't even know if this is the past
- 2:40:33Speaker 2: five years, but the Slambulance, you know, yeah, it's been
- 2:40:39Speaker 2: like the Neon entrance stage right.
- 2:40:43Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the fact we just got Piper's pit, I
- 2:40:48Speaker 3: gotta go with like like those bone crunch of Hardy's
- 2:40:52Speaker 3: though or something. I'm thinking like how big of a hearty,
- 2:40:55Speaker 3: like how hot they were, Like we would have got
- 2:40:57Speaker 3: those at that time.
- 2:40:58Speaker 2: Oh well, yeah, I didn't take it that. I thought
- 2:41:00Speaker 2: he was talking like current matel stuff, but yeah, it
- 2:41:02Speaker 2: certainly could be.
- 2:41:03Speaker 3: I'm thinking like, like I love Ode of Hasbro and
- 2:41:06Speaker 3: it's probably my favorite ever but my most played with,
- 2:41:10Speaker 3: like where I was like in charge and with his
- 2:41:12Speaker 3: bone crunchers for sure, And I'm thinking like if I
- 2:41:15Speaker 3: could have got those brude looking hard.
- 2:41:18Speaker 2: I would have freaked out. I wasn't. I wasn't thinking
- 2:41:21Speaker 2: about it like that. It's a great that's a great answer.
- 2:41:22Speaker 2: But if I'm I'm gonna stick to how I thought
- 2:41:24Speaker 2: about it, where it's just Mattel like things like Caine,
- 2:41:28Speaker 2: but it's like Undertager's Kane. I would have loved that,
- 2:41:32Speaker 2: Like right, you didn't even like.
- 2:41:37Speaker 3: Head swap stuff back of the day because they're all different,
- 2:41:39Speaker 3: you know, or.
- 2:41:39Speaker 2: Even this Austin where you you close your eyes, you
- 2:41:42Speaker 2: popped the head and now he's bloody. You don't have
- 2:41:43Speaker 2: to use your croola, you know what I'm saying.
- 2:41:46Speaker 1: Well, brisky, they had the cane with the fire, so
- 2:41:49Speaker 1: you didn't need to light your figure on fire.
- 2:41:52Speaker 3: That saved yeah, save you a lot of trouble.
- 2:41:55Speaker 1: Well, what I thought about instantly was the figure that
- 2:41:57Speaker 1: I wanted for years and years and years, which was
- 2:42:00Speaker 1: the the Hazro style nWo Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Right, so
- 2:42:05Speaker 1: I took the Hazan.
- 2:42:07Speaker 3: True and really feel it.
- 2:42:11Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're thinking like that, then yeah, so many
- 2:42:14Speaker 2: of those hasbros. So the retro companies, big rubber guys, Bendy's.
- 2:42:18Speaker 3: Like every time I set it up to take like
- 2:42:20Speaker 3: good picks and stuff, or like set up my kids
- 2:42:22Speaker 3: the uh the backdrop like type stuff like yeah, oh
- 2:42:27Speaker 3: my god, that would have I would freaking I would
- 2:42:29Speaker 3: have yeah, extreme sets. I would have like I would
- 2:42:33Speaker 3: have combusted to see something like that, you know in
- 2:42:35Speaker 3: my life.
- 2:42:36Speaker 4: Bro.
- 2:42:36Speaker 2: So like there was a we're gonna shot him out
- 2:42:38Speaker 2: right now. Someone posted this figure photography right and he
- 2:42:42Speaker 2: we were talking about this A couple of weeks ago
- 2:42:44Speaker 2: in the pod. So let me get his exact name
- 2:42:45Speaker 2: for you. Okay, so uh so collectible underscore are there's
- 2:42:51Speaker 2: a figure photography of me like beating up Kit Wilson. Yeah.
- 2:42:54Speaker 2: I saw that he did something from something I did
- 2:42:56Speaker 2: on my entrance, which I thought, like how nobody in
- 2:42:59Speaker 2: w does I used to do this on houses all
- 2:43:01Speaker 2: the time. But look at this, like go up on
- 2:43:03Speaker 2: the thing and pose. Yeah, on those guardrails that like
- 2:43:07Speaker 2: only remember we talk about this a couple weeks so
- 2:43:09Speaker 2: like these aren't like real guardrails, like only like w
- 2:43:11Speaker 2: of E style guardrails. I think FTC makes these. Yes,
- 2:43:15Speaker 2: Like that's pretty cool. I love stuff like that.
- 2:43:18Speaker 3: Set be back was the hardcame. I didn't think that
- 2:43:20Speaker 3: was very professional about I know, But.
- 2:43:21Speaker 2: The other way, it's like I also wanted I also
- 2:43:23Speaker 2: wanted to show up the gear and I want to
- 2:43:25Speaker 2: show the people. Yeah people. What's the next question?
- 2:43:31Speaker 1: Uh my question from Dick Housen savee.
- 2:43:36Speaker 2: Uh.
- 2:43:36Speaker 1: If given the opportunity, would you buy the in your
- 2:43:38Speaker 1: house house talk about a one on one item, I
- 2:43:42Speaker 1: wouldn't buy it.
- 2:43:44Speaker 3: No, No, there was a story that was what he's saying,
- 2:43:46Speaker 3: but that would just be it's is like a random
- 2:43:49Speaker 3: house in Phoenix, which which was it's in Orlando, bro,
- 2:43:52Speaker 3: someone in Phoenix.
- 2:43:54Speaker 2: I'm almost positives in Orlando. I could have swore someone
- 2:43:57Speaker 2: just said they tried to rent it for the Tin
- 2:43:59Speaker 2: Roof show.
- 2:44:00Speaker 3: Really, I'm also thinking, like it's thirty years ago. There's
- 2:44:03Speaker 3: got to be some kind of renovations to it, Like,
- 2:44:05Speaker 3: it can't even be It's not like Todd Pettangill's living
- 2:44:07Speaker 3: in the list. I know it can't even be like
- 2:44:09Speaker 3: nostalgic at that point.
- 2:44:10Speaker 1: Right, Okay, Wait? The WWF now ww gave away a
- 2:44:13Speaker 1: real house during their first In Your House pay per
- 2:44:15Speaker 1: view in May nineteen ninety five, a promotion where eleven
- 2:44:18Speaker 1: year old Matt Pampaselli from Nevada won a new home
- 2:44:22Speaker 1: in Orlando, Florida, which is camping right, which his family
- 2:44:25Speaker 1: later sold for over one hundred and seventy five thousand
- 2:44:28Speaker 1: to use for college. This giveaway promoted the new cheaper
- 2:44:33Speaker 1: monthly pay per view series and involved sweepstakes with over
- 2:44:35Speaker 1: three hundred and forty thousand entries, culminating in a live
- 2:44:38Speaker 1: phone call to the winner during the broadcast. So it's
- 2:44:43Speaker 1: somewhere in Orlando there was a story on it years
- 2:44:48Speaker 1: later that it might have been made.
- 2:44:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, But anyway, there's no it's not whatever.
- 2:44:55Speaker 1: God was just treated as a house.
- 2:44:56Speaker 3: It's not like the house from Jersey Shore where you're like, oh,
- 2:45:00Speaker 3: it will happened and I could live there too.
- 2:45:02Speaker 2: I'll segue this. I do want W W. Mattel to
- 2:45:05Speaker 2: make it in your house house entrance way, No doubt.
- 2:45:09Speaker 3: That would be I think that could be easily an
- 2:45:12Speaker 3: affordable meteal creation.
- 2:45:14Speaker 2: Bro. I used to make those all the time, like
- 2:45:15Speaker 2: out of like you know, like the boxes you would
- 2:45:18Speaker 2: get for like clothing, like for like you know, Christmas,
- 2:45:21Speaker 2: right I or like cut out the white box and
- 2:45:22Speaker 2: it would already be able to stand because you use
- 2:45:24Speaker 2: that little you know, yeah, in your house did not? All?
- 2:45:31Speaker 1: Right? Brian's question Chris Wayne Master Wayne, you and matt
- 2:45:35Speaker 1: made a name for yourselves by becoming edgehets which two
- 2:45:37Speaker 1: wrestlers would you choose to do the same for you?
- 2:45:40Speaker 1: And what would you name?
- 2:45:41Speaker 2: That?
- 2:45:41Speaker 1: Great question?
- 2:45:42Speaker 3: Thought so too, man. Uh, I'm trying to think who
- 2:45:50Speaker 3: who's like someone at tena that I love that's like
- 2:45:53Speaker 3: young and does it have to look like you?
- 2:45:55Speaker 1: No?
- 2:45:55Speaker 3: I know, I don't think that's that's like impossible, right.
- 2:45:58Speaker 1: Yeah, well not for Matt. Matt.
- 2:46:01Speaker 3: It's just I just think it would be like the
- 2:46:03Speaker 3: two guys to be your edge heads. They don't have
- 2:46:06Speaker 3: to look like you, but do the things that edgees did, Yeah,
- 2:46:08Speaker 3: and try to mentor them and you know they'll be
- 2:46:10Speaker 3: your doppling, you know, help you out.
- 2:46:14Speaker 2: It's funny because I I actually pitched this in NWA
- 2:46:20Speaker 2: as a way for me to win the NWA title
- 2:46:26Speaker 2: is that VSK would be dressed as me under the ring,
- 2:46:29Speaker 2: right blah blah blah, And then I kind of worked
- 2:46:33Speaker 2: because it got VSK into NWA, but we never did
- 2:46:36Speaker 2: that angle. In fact, like I win the NDWA title
- 2:46:38Speaker 2: and VSK like makes his debut by just come out
- 2:46:40Speaker 2: and celebrate it with me, Like oh.
- 2:46:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember it got taken away or something.
- 2:46:44Speaker 2: Right, it was never quite planned, like well we'll bring
- 2:46:46Speaker 2: them in, but then like it never happened. The planet
- 2:46:49Speaker 2: was the loose plan. It was never planned and then
- 2:46:51Speaker 2: didn't happen. There's like he'd be like in my gear
- 2:46:53Speaker 2: kind of and like he'd be the same exact thing, right,
- 2:46:56Speaker 2: he'd be like my guy. And then they added that
- 2:46:58Speaker 2: young upstart Mike Knox too, that's right.
- 2:47:01Speaker 1: Yeah, family, But actually Vinnie is great because you guys
- 2:47:06Speaker 1: both have you know well, at the time he had
- 2:47:08Speaker 1: short hair, short hair and a beard. Yeah, white guy.
- 2:47:12Speaker 2: And then I think like years later for TNA, I
- 2:47:14Speaker 2: asked him if because he was like kind of grown
- 2:47:17Speaker 2: his hair out, I asked him if he would cut
- 2:47:18Speaker 2: his hair and he said no. I said, I'm not
- 2:47:20Speaker 2: getting you booked, don because I wanted to reuse the angle.
- 2:47:25Speaker 2: I never did it, and Vinnie if I were listening,
- 2:47:27Speaker 2: and I'm if I if I'm misremembering this, I'm sorry,
- 2:47:29Speaker 2: but I'll just doue.
- 2:47:30Speaker 3: We'll have a rebuttal next week.
- 2:47:32Speaker 2: I'm sure. I feel like I was going to do
- 2:47:33Speaker 2: it somewhere like MLW or or or TNA maybe maybe
- 2:47:38Speaker 2: or maybe was GCW. I don't remember. I think I would.
- 2:47:42Speaker 3: I would steal Jason Hotch from Mustafa Ali. Yeah, for sure,
- 2:47:47Speaker 3: I think the world. And he's very talented. I don't
- 2:47:50Speaker 3: know how young he is exactly, but he's going to be.
- 2:47:53Speaker 2: Very very good. He already is very good and someone
- 2:47:56Speaker 2: will wrestled lately. That's impressed me.
- 2:47:58Speaker 3: As Myron Reid, who I think would be another great
- 2:48:01Speaker 3: pick if there were two young guys that I would want,
- 2:48:03Speaker 3: like you know, and you know, it's also bizarre.
- 2:48:05Speaker 2: It was more Vinnie shout out.
- 2:48:07Speaker 3: I had a similar thing with the learning tree in DNA,
- 2:48:10Speaker 3: where Vinnie was my even though we're like the same age,
- 2:48:12Speaker 3: he was my underlaying and he's much more talented than
- 2:48:16Speaker 3: Zicki Dice, who was the other guy. So yeah, and
- 2:48:19Speaker 3: then Sam Beale it was super fun. So it was
- 2:48:21Speaker 3: very similar. It just never really got off the ground.
- 2:48:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think I would almost do it
- 2:48:29Speaker 2: like the opposite, where I would pick like two guys
- 2:48:31Speaker 2: who were like almost like double heaters like a band
- 2:48:34Speaker 2: Bishop and like right, yea, I really protect yourself. I
- 2:48:37Speaker 2: mean Richard Holliday steals my stuff anyway, so it doesn't matter.
- 2:48:40Speaker 2: It's like, I mean, keep yourself, keep your eye out
- 2:48:42Speaker 2: on Richard Holliday. Would just watch me from six months ago,
- 2:48:44Speaker 2: you know.
- 2:48:45Speaker 1: Way off topic. Did you see this this interview that
- 2:48:48Speaker 1: Richard Holiday and Ben Bishop did after the ACW Championship win.
- 2:48:51Speaker 2: No, but I saw that this together and I think
- 2:48:53Speaker 2: it's a great idea for both of them. I think
- 2:48:54Speaker 2: they are the future of the business.
- 2:48:56Speaker 1: Great idea but they got interviewed by an interviewer that
- 2:48:58Speaker 1: was like six foot seven. So Richard Hollyway looks like
- 2:49:02Speaker 1: he's five to two, and Ben Bishop is a normal guy,
- 2:49:05Speaker 1: and it's like, what fire that guy was?
- 2:49:07Speaker 3: Scott Mitchell, I don't know.
- 2:49:09Speaker 2: They head to the Tom Phillips splits, Oh my god.
- 2:49:13Speaker 1: Well I can't really pick this. I can't have stooges.
- 2:49:16Speaker 1: But the two best guys, Tony, you're right, yeah, I
- 2:49:21Speaker 1: think Alec Price and Ryan Clancy are are two of
- 2:49:24Speaker 1: the the best guys coming up right now.
- 2:49:28Speaker 2: Okay, all right, guys, let's go to some good housekeeping.
- 2:49:33Speaker 3: This is a long pod, bro, this is breaking records here, all.
- 2:49:42Speaker 2: Right, YouTube dot Com slash at major w pod. We
- 2:49:45Speaker 2: gotta work on some blogs.
- 2:49:46Speaker 1: Brian's got a blog coming up.
- 2:49:48Speaker 2: He shot one vlogged Ken Con.
- 2:49:50Speaker 3: It wasn't that easy, but I did, uh, And then
- 2:49:53Speaker 3: I also I did an in boxing with some ringside stuff.
- 2:49:55Speaker 3: So there's a couple of things in the in the
- 2:49:57Speaker 3: canon there.
- 2:49:59Speaker 2: And I will say this, it's months away, but my
- 2:50:00Speaker 2: toy room, I think Mark we need a hard I
- 2:50:04Speaker 2: think go pro might have to come.
- 2:50:05Speaker 3: I think I think you should like vlog putting it
- 2:50:11Speaker 3: in bits and pieces like not like I'm in one day,
- 2:50:13Speaker 3: just record when you record and.
- 2:50:16Speaker 2: Be doing that.
- 2:50:17Speaker 1: But if you want that, you can see that on
- 2:50:19Speaker 1: our behind the scenes flop.
- 2:50:22Speaker 2: But with what's Brian saying, would be a smart year,
- 2:50:24Speaker 2: but it would just slow down my process too much.
- 2:50:26Speaker 2: I can't do it right.
- 2:50:28Speaker 1: It would just it's I think a tour at the end.
- 2:50:30Speaker 2: Is obviously that's that's easy, and I think that I think.
- 2:50:35Speaker 1: You could do it. But also if I just came
- 2:50:37Speaker 1: down with my camera, I could do it.
- 2:50:39Speaker 2: But I think I think GoPro being there would be
- 2:50:40Speaker 2: great hardcam that if you had a hard camp, oh
- 2:50:46Speaker 2: for the tour, but why so you can put your
- 2:50:49Speaker 2: back to it and pose well. I have a big
- 2:50:52Speaker 2: back Major Marks dot com, Patron dot com, Slash, Major

- 2:51:54Speaker 2: Mark shoes have bruised with the toys. Of course, it's
- 2:51:57Speaker 2: figured disseected with the freedom let him breathe myself overlies,
- 2:52:00Speaker 2: Oh Baby, Heaths happy Hour, so much cool stuff on

- 2:52:17Speaker 3: doors early and might knock some stuff out early with
- 2:52:21Speaker 3: the signing and photo ops.
- 2:52:22Speaker 2: Brian, I'm gonna let you figure out the logistics on that.
- 2:52:24Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it, and I think that's the best
- 2:52:26Speaker 2: way to go, so.
- 2:52:28Speaker 3: We shall.
- 2:52:29Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that would be that would be especially
- 2:52:32Speaker 2: for the Patreons.
- 2:52:34Speaker 1: This is a heartbreaker for me here, but Mortal Kombat
- 2:52:37Speaker 1: won narrowly over Super Mario Brothers. And it's just crazy
- 2:52:42Speaker 1: to me because I just thought there was no way
- 2:52:44Speaker 1: in how Mortal Kombat could beat Mario Brothers and Street
- 2:52:46Speaker 1: Fighter but barely.
