Transcript
- 1:30The. Hello Acrosso E Bratas Grappas.
- 2:07Oh hello and welcome to Bratas Grappas and I don't know about
- 2:13you but I'm feeling a tad swifty for this episode because we have
- 2:18hit the magical #22 lucky me. However, this particular episode
- 2:29we are going to be heading down to the Valleys and the Welsh
- 2:34capital as last weekend saw Cardiff hosting both Attack Pro
- 2:41Wrestling and Mystery Wrestling, just the two shows all taking
- 2:49place at the cafes community centre.
- 2:54But before we look at the fun and games of what happened that
- 2:59weekend, much like Don Callas family, this podcast is
- 3:04expanding itself it feels. So with that, let's introduce 2
- 3:11new names who a lot of you will know, especially if you're in
- 3:17the North. The first debutante is 1/2 of
- 3:22the Pencilled in podcast team, which I, not to brag, actually
- 3:28helped produce, so blame me if it's go wrong.
- 3:33So this is effectively a normal day out for me recording.
- 3:38But when she's not at wrestling shows, she is making bracelets.
- 3:43The master of the bracelets pencilled in Nikki.
- 3:52How? How are we feeling after the
- 3:54weekend? But full, full of joy, tired.
- 4:01But you know what? I'm going to say this because
- 4:04you mentioned the bracelets. When I was there, I had my
- 4:07lanyard because I was full of all the bracelets and made
- 4:10because that's how I carry him now rather than fumbly with him.
- 4:13And somebody called me the final boss of bracelets and I like
- 4:17that. So I'm like pretty made-up now.
- 4:22I'm keeping that forever. Final boss of bracelets.
- 4:25Is that the new bio on Instagram and.
- 4:29Nah, it's going to be bracelet Jones forever.
- 4:34And last but by no means least, which makes it sound like
- 4:38there's a few more, but we only have two on this episode 1/3 of
- 4:43the Dammit Vacant podcast where you can find exclusive or
- 4:50exclusively only Ian Skinner facts Asterix.
- 4:57All true. He is also another 1/3 of the
- 5:02repeat or delete podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, Joe, hello
- 5:10are. You all right?
- 5:11It's nice to be here. And how are you feeling after
- 5:15this past weekend? I was again wrestling flu when I
- 5:21got back, but that might have been a combination of heroic
- 5:26amount of white gloves I drank and the fact that I think the
- 5:31only thing I ate was a chicken sandwich and like a handful of
- 5:34tuna Mayo because I I I just got very, very, very caveman when I
- 5:41got back to the Airbnb on my own.
- 5:44So yeah, yeah. Bottle of red wine and a handful
- 5:47of tuna pasta. That's ladies, former Q Fancy,
- 5:51fancy. Boy.
- 5:55I can't eat when I'm out drinking.
- 5:57I feels like it's a waste of energy.
- 5:59He's. Supposed to eat.
- 6:03It's a food though, right? Let's not get in.
- 6:07You have a. Couple of guinnesses and that's
- 6:09that's like a meal for a day. Oh yeah.
- 6:11I think. Maybe a buttered Wheatabix like,
- 6:14but but yeah, anyway, no, I had a tremendous time in Cardiff.
- 6:19It was lovely to see people I haven't seen in a long time like
- 6:21yourselves and some new people that I've never met before.
- 6:26And it was, it was, it was, it was, I'm going to say one of the
- 6:30best shows I've been through this, I'm going to say this
- 6:32year. But that doesn't really hold
- 6:35much hold much sway. Yeah.
- 6:39But no, I wanted the one of the I've not laughed so much in a
- 6:43very, very long time. All of them.
- 6:46I've never seen attack before. But I'll be making a point to
- 6:50because they stream a lot of their stuff, like for free,
- 6:52don't they? I think so.
- 6:54I'll be making a point to hunt down some of that because I that
- 6:57I can see why mystery shows attack.
- 7:01Yeah, because the there's a there's an overlap of of silly
- 7:04nonsense there, isn't there the? Vibes.
- 7:06The vibes are very similar, aren't they?
- 7:08Yeah, 100%, yeah. So we we've got free shows so we
- 7:15will try and get through this as quick as we can.
- 7:22I have nothing to contribute until the end you.
- 7:25Can listen and just go. I can't wait.
- 7:27I'm going. I hope you've got.
- 7:29I hope. You've got the card for the
- 7:31first mystery show, because I remember some of it every OK,
- 7:35that's that's good. Then come.
- 7:37Prepared, I will just say at this point, so edit note Peter
- 7:43or PETA, sorry for those that do not want to hear mystery 21 1/2
- 7:52please Fast forward to the time that PETA will say in the next
- 7:57couple of seconds. Fast forward to one hour and 7
- 8:02minutes and there we go. This is this is way more
- 8:07advanced of the stuff we I just have to put future Joe in like,
- 8:12yeah. Insert Future Joe.
- 8:14Yeah. It's just, it's yeah, I find
- 8:16that that's forward planning. You see, this is I'd have none
- 8:19of that, but yeah, I. Just wing it, but I actually
- 8:22wrote an intro which sounds so professional.
- 8:28But also, if you don't want to know from this, go and subscribe
- 8:32to the Patreon and watch it to to Mysteries Patreon and watch
- 8:36it because everything is on there, all of their shows are on
- 8:38there and it's not that expensive and it's well worth
- 8:42it. Support the Indies, yeah.
- 8:46In no particular order because I tried to go off the photographs
- 8:52and videos I took and realised I did not take a couple of photos
- 8:58from some of the matches and a friend thankfully told me of
- 9:03some of them. However, match #1 as we will
- 9:08call it. So effectively the traitors
- 9:13coming out. If you're watching the visual of
- 9:17this, you'll see the photo behind me of everyone in cloaks.
- 9:23The druids, yeah. So we had Connor Mills Cristara.
- 9:33We also had Matt Gatlin and the last one of the bunch kanji.
- 9:42Nice. This was a really fun opener.
- 9:48It's We started off with the old everyone link fingers together,
- 9:55apart from Gatlin who wanted no, absolutely none of it, to which
- 10:03Mills, Christara and Kanji were just doing 1980s dancing
- 10:08together. Yeah, yeah, this again.
- 10:13This is one of those things that I love vibratory wrestling open
- 10:15with this because there you get a little surprise and then
- 10:18you'll normally get a banging four way match and yeah, this
- 10:22this set the entire thing up just for the start of the
- 10:26weekend. It was beautiful it.
- 10:28Was so much I I will say this first match.
- 10:34To say it was snug at times would arguably be saying this
- 10:41disservice. They laid that stuff in thicker
- 10:45than gravy. That hasn't.
- 10:47I've had too much granules boarding.
- 10:49It was thick as anything. Again, really fun opening
- 10:56contest. I am not going to go very in
- 11:00depth on most of these because we haven't got the time.
- 11:05Quite literally a. 100 matches to cover.
- 11:08Oh we've got so many. But it ended up with Kanji
- 11:15getting the tap out. Victory over Gatwin so thumbs up
- 11:23match #2 again. Unsure of placements so James
- 11:29Scrapper Stone taking Junior Benito.
- 11:34Yes, clap. Them cheeks.
- 11:37Poor junior I I had to buy so much stuff off him just because
- 11:43he looks so sad. No one buying anything and I was
- 11:45like, come here. I wanted to buy something, but
- 11:47we didn't have enough. Should have said I I had so much
- 11:51takeaway money, it was unreal. Yeah, who wants to?
- 11:56Think there was a couple on that I saw during the interval that
- 11:59just looked like someone please come up to me please someone.
- 12:03Yeah, but no, it's James Stone bio betrayer Ally Stu Grayson
- 12:13hates, hates silly wrestling, hates comedy wrestling.
- 12:17Sorry. It's OK.
- 12:19And Junior, who is so good in Fresh Air Attack Team, like,
- 12:26he's tremendous on his own. He's brilliant.
- 12:28And I was kind of sad we didn't get both of them, but he put on
- 12:33a, you know, the workhorse of all of these shows.
- 12:37Yes. Yeah.
- 12:40He's got so much charisma. I did like Stone did not know
- 12:48what to how to kind of like get the crowd against him till he
- 12:52made one joke, which really kind of got a few going where he says
- 12:58we're in Wales, aren't we? And he says, I'm looking around
- 13:02and I can see why. Yeah.
- 13:05And at that point? I took that personally.
- 13:11Rodney Dangerfield pulling. I'm not.
- 13:18Paid of airports, No. Again, great like Stone is, is a
- 13:26tremendous big lad wrestler, but Junior is just he's got
- 13:32something about him that I will carry him a long way for me.
- 13:36Lovely fella, both lovely fellas, but you want Junior win
- 13:41because he's nice. I will say Benito is a fantastic
- 13:45salesman because he kept during the entire crowd.
- 13:49He's there just holding up, kind of like his photos, just going.
- 13:54On his pictures, yeah. Yeah, I've got some of that,
- 13:57yeah. So.
- 13:58I respect it. I love it.
- 14:00He sold a fair few. Benito won, unsurprisingly.
- 14:09We then aren't it. Dude, I'm trying to think.
- 14:15It did beneath that win, No, I don't think he did.
- 14:17His memory serves didn't. No, he didn't, Stone.
- 14:20No, I was going to say Stone would win because.
- 14:23What stipulation was it? Did it have a?
- 14:25What kind of match was it I. Don't think there was a
- 14:28stipulation. There was a couple of silly
- 14:30matches, but that was just a regular regular one-on-one,
- 14:33yeah. There are a couple, no?
- 14:37Stipulations just regular. Talking of stipulations, match
- 14:42#3 arguably one of the matches of the weekend was a special
- 14:50referee match which. Featured.
- 14:54LJ Cleary taking on Danny Luna with Fresh from a trip from
- 15:02Amsterdam. Sasquatch referee.
- 15:07Sasquatch hanging out. Hanging out their ass, Yeah.
- 15:14If you want. To go.
- 15:15She's one of the favourites there.
- 15:17The term wrestling bollocks has never been so appropriate for
- 15:22this match. It was antics central, wasn't
- 15:28it? Yeah.
- 15:29I can't wait to watch this. No, I it does have to be said,
- 15:34Sasquatch did it feels favour Danny Luna in this contest.
- 15:40Oh crooked ref. Mainly because Sasquatch was
- 15:45either face down in the turnbuckle buckle.
- 15:51Oh. Was counting it had kind of 10.
- 15:57Well, if you want to be about it, eight and two thumbs.
- 16:03I just remembered the bit where he got to 8 and then discovered
- 16:06his hands. I.
- 16:09Think Clary had thrown Luna out, beat her up on the outside, got
- 16:15in the ring LJ saying count and he got to like 8 and he's.
- 16:23Realised he had hands. But there was there was like a
- 16:26count, there was a, a three count where he he just fell
- 16:29asleep. There was, there was.
- 16:33It's winter, he should be hibernating, right?
- 16:35There was there was illegal holes where he just couldn't be
- 16:38bothered getting up out of the corner to stop it like it was.
- 16:41It was like whoever is inside that Sasquatch was.
- 16:46It Rick Knox. I, I don't know who it is.
- 16:49I suspect it's Psycho Mike, to be honest, has just got a
- 16:53tremendous sense of comedy timing.
- 16:56Like it's, it's so good, like with so little.
- 17:00But the match itself was great. Like he did.
- 17:02It was genuine Danny Luna favouritism, which is fine.
- 17:08But yeah, it was just one of those like, this was where I was
- 17:12like, Yep, this is going to be a good weekend.
- 17:15Because. You had LJ choking Luna and come
- 17:21over and stop, clear and just going, no stop, stop, stop.
- 17:27And then Luna would be choking kind of like clear it and you
- 17:33would have Sasquatch in the corner stroking the turnbuckles
- 17:40and kind of the top rope and smelling it.
- 17:46Oh God, they're. Just going.
- 17:48Ref. Ref.
- 17:52It this is what we kind of had, but it fits in with mystery.
- 18:02But we, yeah, I we will not fully ruin everything.
- 18:05But Luna picks up the victory as.
- 18:10If it's, it was. Anyway, from the.
- 18:12Reference. No, but it was a great match.
- 18:14Like the match itself was great and it just had these absolute
- 18:18silly moments in it. And like both Cleary and Luna
- 18:21getting annoyed at the ref and each other like it's yeah.
- 18:26It's it's well worth a watch. Yes.
- 18:31And then we came to the main event of your first half, which
- 18:37was and you'll be able to see it I think 10:00 tonight.
- 18:42If you don't, yes, yeah, yeah. But you should pay for it.
- 18:46Is the three stages of L match psycho Mike so the.
- 19:00Stipulations. The three stages, yeah.
- 19:03So the first fall was everyone is blindfolded.
- 19:08Including a Class A classic mystery staple.
- 19:13The second. Second was, what was it?
- 19:17First body slam? Yeah.
- 19:19So first of all was everyone is blindfolded.
- 19:23Second was a. Including the rest, everyone.
- 19:30Was it it made me we'll come to that in a second actually,
- 19:36because it was so funny how they they did it.
- 19:40So everyone was blindfolded. Nixon kind of psycho Mike both
- 19:46pulled out blindfolds. Both donned them apart from
- 19:52Cecil who, because the referee put it on, decided I'm not going
- 19:58to put mine on because. I'm I'm I'm smart.
- 20:01Cecil, innit? I just.
- 20:03Like love him. There's something about him that
- 20:07he always looks like he's being held there against his will,
- 20:12like when he comes out and he's like, fine, you know, I've got
- 20:16to pay for the medicine somehow. It's but yeah, it was the first
- 20:21time we've ever seen him like use his break.
- 20:25Actually, no, because he did the the world famous door spot,
- 20:27didn't he as well? But this was yeah, Mike put his
- 20:32on ref. He put his on and he just didn't
- 20:34and then just literally skimped around the ring we got was it
- 20:41Mike like, you know, giving trade secrets away, duck under
- 20:48twice. And then, yeah, it was oh.
- 20:54But we got to the point where Mike's I think blindfold came
- 20:58off as my camera decides to just cut me out of picture.
- 21:03Say where you going because you got mad Stick I.
- 21:06Only just realised my camera seems to zoom in and zoom out
- 21:10when I don't expect it. Oh, did you not mean for it to
- 21:13do that? I thought it was because you
- 21:14were getting serious and laying things out that he zoomed in.
- 21:19Say hi. That's why you must be.
- 21:22There's one of those fancy cameras.
- 21:23It'll do that. Yeah, it's.
- 21:27Not I can't afford fancy stuff. But yeah, Mike's, Mike's
- 21:31blindfold comes off, he finds out that that Cecil is not
- 21:33wearing his. And then Cecil pretended to put
- 21:36his back on and. Ref It was nice to see you.
- 21:42Ref Stay who I've seen a lot Bridge pro Sour Bridge.
- 21:49So it was nice to see him that he might actually do that, but.
- 21:55There was not enough booing of referees for mystery.
- 21:59Unless it's just Canadian refs that we Boo, I don't know the
- 22:01rules. I I saw, I saw Blue Sky wasn't
- 22:05happy with us the the Canadian fans.
- 22:08I'm sorry Canada, I'm sorry it's not a British thing to Boo to
- 22:12Boo referees like. We love Brexit.
- 22:15Yeah. But yeah, we did let the side
- 22:18down a little bit there. Apologies, mystery fans.
- 22:21It's not very Canadian like taboo though.
- 22:25Yeah, but it's GAT. I know it's Quebec.
- 22:27It's like French Canadian and they're a whole different
- 22:30species of people. I was going to say it's not
- 22:35really Canada. I'm not getting into the whole
- 22:38geopolitics. That's not a.
- 22:41Canadian friend of mine. But.
- 22:45Yeah. Toronto, so them aren't kind of
- 22:49like Quebec and French Canadians don't particularly get on.
- 22:57Thankfully, we didn't actually get started on the match.
- 23:03Which match we Oh, you would just start?
- 23:05Which one were you on it? Was the second stage, wasn't it?
- 23:08We didn't even get to say what happened in the 1st, we just
- 23:14said the referee and then he said you have two seconds and
- 23:19then it went off. There's AI just saw a little
- 23:23clip actually pop up on my Instagram of thingy trying to
- 23:28figure out where the Dicks were so that he could low blow and he
- 23:33low blows the ref. Yeah, yeah.
- 23:36But. I'll do his concepts added to
- 23:38that. The first of many psycho Mike
- 23:40Groyne assaults that weekend. Very groyne themed, wasn't it?
- 23:45It's what he does best. And then adding Gene into it was
- 23:49it was just like watching an episode of Bottom.
- 23:51Yeah. I.
- 23:54Should have done how many groyne kind of like punches there were
- 23:58because it must. Have kind of when you watch it.
- 24:015 or 6 in that one bit. But it it was essential.
- 24:05Well, get to it will be get to it.
- 24:06But it was essentially like a Rube Goldberg machine of grind
- 24:11punching, yeah. But there's a part of me that's
- 24:15trying to think, am I confusing it with the gene money match?
- 24:19Oh, the gene money match. That's what I'm saying.
- 24:20Yeah. That was the one that had.
- 24:22It was 20 minutes of gooey punching.
- 24:25Yeah. It was fun.
- 24:28There was a speedball at one point.
- 24:35Yeah. So we will.
- 24:37We'll carry on because I don't know.
- 24:40I don't know where I'm just going to cut and paste this.
- 24:45It's like mystery wrestling. Who knows what's going to
- 24:47happen, but Resty got basically beat up.
- 24:55Ref Bump, drink. Who then took his own blindfold
- 25:02off and noticed that both Mike and Cecil did not have theirs
- 25:07on. Disqualified everyone including
- 25:13himself. That is a freeway draw.
- 25:20So we went into the 2nd fall still with no pinfall pictures
- 25:28or no one leading. However, if I recall right,
- 25:33Steve then decides you know what, I'm throwing myself out
- 25:40and referee Oscar comes to the ring to take over on the 2nd
- 25:47fall was a body slam challenge. Which wasn't explained, but I
- 25:54assumed it was the first person to get a body slam.
- 25:56Very. Clever.
- 25:58And so they said it was a body slam challenge and Nicks went
- 26:02straight up to Oscar and body slammed him and just went that
- 26:05counts because you didn't take your opponent.
- 26:09So Nix takes A1 nil lead, then went to.
- 26:17The third stage of hell. The third stage of Hell, which
- 26:21was an unnecessary hardcore match with really.
- 26:28Hardcore. Match is necessary.
- 26:32Doing absolutely nothing in the ring.
- 26:35Well, he was looking under the ring, weren't he, for stuff that
- 26:37wasn't there and while Cecil disappeared in the back and came
- 26:41out with a load of plunder. Yeah.
- 26:43Sadly, no doors. No, it looked like a table.
- 26:46It was. Like, yeah, I did that.
- 26:48They said where's the doors? Bring on the doors.
- 26:51Well. They get a special discount,
- 26:53don't they? They're all shop soiled, aren't
- 26:56they? Aren't like, yeah, yeah, they're
- 26:58all seconds because the handles are in the wrong place or
- 27:00something. They've been cut wrong.
- 27:02I can't, who know, said this. He could just be giant nonsense.
- 27:05It'll be something like that that'll be decommissioned doors
- 27:09you can't sell on. De consecrated doors from
- 27:12churches. So we had Cecil setting
- 27:17everything up, obviously get this hardcore match underway,
- 27:23and once he got back in the ring, Psycho Mike rolled him up
- 27:26for a free count. So he literally had no hardcore
- 27:29match to speak of to tie it at 1 apiece.
- 27:36And Psycho Mike then asks for the microphone and tried his
- 27:42very best not to copse, but could not do it.
- 27:48Tried everything, looking away, kind of rubbing his face to stop
- 27:53himself physically from laughing.
- 27:55He couldn't. A little spoiler as to which
- 27:59everyone got a kick out of. Nice.
- 28:01Yeah. And then challenged next to a
- 28:05deciding I think it was an 8 out of 14.
- 28:09Four. It was it was.
- 28:10This match needs more prime numbers.
- 28:12Oh yeah, it was it was it was best.
- 28:15What was the best 11 out of 23 falls or something?
- 28:23So. Was that a quick fire?
- 28:28There was a lot of back and forth, but it was both of them
- 28:32because, like Cecil prides himself on never laughed, never
- 28:35intentionally laughing. And he was having a look away
- 28:37because he clearly did. Gone.
- 28:39We'll just we'll just, we'll just wing this when we get into
- 28:41the ring, like. And it was it was just I was
- 28:45like, yes, more prime numbers in wrestling, please.
- 28:49But yeah, they both pin back into the got to like 11 each and
- 28:52the next fall won it basically. It was.
- 28:54It was beautifully stupid. It was like the sea when you see
- 28:58the seesaw ones when they go one.
- 29:01Yeah, but every one of them was a pin. 12121212121212 That's
- 29:10effectively how it. Went I respect referees when
- 29:14they have to do those spots because it's got to wreck your
- 29:18arm. Yep.
- 29:20It's got to wreck your arm. But yeah.
- 29:27That sounds chaotic in the best possible way.
- 29:31Oh. Definitely Psycho Mike wins
- 29:38considering that was the last thing.
- 29:41I cannot remember how he won. It was probably a punch to the
- 29:45balls, probably. I don't think he, I think he, I
- 29:48don't think he gave him a body slam.
- 29:51I remember being angry that I didn't get to see a body slam.
- 29:55No, he kept trying to. He kept trying it when Cecil
- 29:58kept doing Cecil stuff. Yeah.
- 30:01But yeah, it, it doesn't matter. It's on tonight.
- 30:04Just. Watch How.
- 30:06It's. On no, we went for the interval.
- 30:10I bumped into you and went hello.
- 30:14Yes, I was. Yeah, I'm learning about virtual
- 30:18reality chat rooms. It was a very strange day.
- 30:21They don't, No. But you can't just fucking.
- 30:24Bring it up all the. Perverts just stay away.
- 30:28It's just it's, it's all bad. Noted.
- 30:34Yeah. We then returned with AI.
- 30:39Don't know if it was a rumble or a battle royal, but whatever it
- 30:43was, it was a over the top lava elimination rumble.
- 30:48Thing tag team. You will have seen this where
- 30:52you were Joe. They had got black tape and it's
- 30:56spelled out lava. Oh, I didn't see that because I
- 30:59wondered what was going on. It took me a while because they
- 31:03always stood at the back because we arrived like, yeah.
- 31:06They put lava in black tape on the floor.
- 31:09It's dedication of the bit, I love it.
- 31:11Brilliant. So like the floor is lava, Yes.
- 31:14Yeah, very OK. But you have to go over the top
- 31:17rope as well, yes, so. But it's I didn't realise this
- 31:23till like after the first elimination.
- 31:26I thought why is he like Terminator?
- 31:29Why is he like the liquid Terminator?
- 31:34Yes, I think I said those exact words at one point.
- 31:37Well, you just lay on the floor, didn't you?
- 31:39Like it didn't get up and move like you would do.
- 31:41And I was like someone standing on him.
- 31:46But the participants in this was Top Dog Frankly, Maya Ravy,
- 31:54Davey Harrison Bennett, Josh Holly Hadi and Rain Levakuzan.
- 32:05Nice, who I had never seen before and I was massively
- 32:07impressed. She's amazing.
- 32:09Yeah, she's great. That everyone was, I've seen, I
- 32:13think all of those before. But yeah, I've never seen her.
- 32:15And I was like, Yep, on board 100%.
- 32:17Yeah, new protocols. Women's Trump I.
- 32:19Don't watch progress. I think strange watching Rain
- 32:23being a heel because she's face everywhere else I.
- 32:26Go Oh, we should be in a heel. Face progress.
- 32:33Well, they were teamed up, weren't they, because they were
- 32:35wearing matching track suits. Because the tag team is love at
- 32:39first fight, love at which we will come to you later on.
- 32:45Kind of workshop. That I've got 2 notes written
- 32:50for this match. Wrestling bollocks at its best.
- 32:56Yes, and Top Dog choosing to sacrifice himself to save
- 33:00Glizzy. You all.
- 33:03You'll know this Nikki, because I've sent it.
- 33:05You needed Enya's only time while he was in slow motion
- 33:11jumping and saving Lizzy. Yes, it was.
- 33:19It. It was a lot of fun.
- 33:22Yeah, there was. There was.
- 33:24As soon as I figured out that the floor was lava and the
- 33:26bodies weren't moving, I was like, we're getting Kofi
- 33:30Kingston style like Rumble nonsense here.
- 33:34Oh yes, like just just from. Grown people though, like.
- 33:41Solidified in lava. So oh.
- 33:44Just lay on the floor of a community centre in Wales.
- 33:47Well, the The thing is. Found at your disbelief.
- 33:52Joe I was having, I was once I figured it out, I was like, this
- 33:54is this is amazing. We should have more of this.
- 33:57What made me? Lava matches please.
- 34:00The thing that made me laugh with this, the ones that were
- 34:02eliminated, I would have thought, oh, they'll kind of
- 34:05like creep into the back. They didn't.
- 34:08They just hung around like outside and trying not to laugh.
- 34:14Dead in lava, committed to the bit.
- 34:16Because what should have been better if people threw like some
- 34:19pouch cushions onto the floor to protect them from the lava.
- 34:23Oh. You did you see the ravy?
- 34:25Davy Joe, did you see Ravy Davy? I don't know.
- 34:30I don't think it happened on my side.
- 34:33On the because you're you were on my side, you were a few rows
- 34:36back on the left hand side. Ravis had like 1 foot nearly
- 34:42touch and I think it's Lucy from the group chat podcast.
- 34:51Oh yeah, Lucy. Yeah, she pushed her chair so
- 34:55Ravy David could stick his foot on it.
- 34:58I must have missed that. I must have been looking at some
- 35:01something else insane happening, Yeah.
- 35:04You could tell him going do we do this?
- 35:06Do I do that? Yeah.
- 35:08Go on. Yeah, I'll just go over again in
- 35:11a minute on the other side. But but to be fair he put like 1
- 35:14foot on it and then he got eliminated literally seconds
- 35:18later. Also shout out to the referees
- 35:22around ringside who were wearing the most ultra protective
- 35:29materials for boots known to man, otherwise known as kitchen
- 35:35foil. Yeah.
- 35:38It just covered the feet in foil, yeah.
- 35:42It was great. It's high production.
- 35:45Values. Oh yeah.
- 35:46It's listen, it's mystery wrestling.
- 35:47I just accept it. Yeah, but you are.
- 35:49Oh, right. Yeah, of course it's mystery
- 35:50wrestling. It makes sense.
- 35:52Well I love though with Raven after he kind of got eliminated
- 35:55he did go like full Terminator 2 shouting and screaming with like
- 36:01his thumb and hand. On Oh good, I was going to say
- 36:04just please did someone scream like they were being burned,
- 36:07but. He went further.
- 36:08He then went he pushed himself backwards under the ring so he's
- 36:13just one arm was stuck out with the legend.
- 36:18I don't know if I still have that photo I should have
- 36:21somewhere, but rain Leverkusen takes the victory stand.
- 36:30Basically stood on top dogs and after the match, because you
- 36:38could just hear this because she was trying to stand on places
- 36:43that stood on well, would not be too painful and ended up I think
- 36:50thinking it was a leg and it was a hand.
- 36:56We come to Mike's favourite part of the show, the penultimate
- 37:01match of the night. All this show on this occasion
- 37:05and it was the Bryants against KPK.
- 37:12All I can remember was there was a lot of fast people in the ring
- 37:16and I spent half this much having to get up off my site and
- 37:22moving to the side because they oh.
- 37:25Because they're. Driving into the crowd, I've
- 37:28I've never seen the Flying Bryants.
- 37:29And I was like, who are these? Because I like the fact they've
- 37:33all got different haircuts so you can tell them apart.
- 37:37So there's like Brian Alpha. Yeah, but I was like, they're
- 37:42not really brothers, aren't they?
- 37:43It's just a thing. No, it turns out apparently they
- 37:44really are brothers and they're. Yeah, and they're tremendous.
- 37:49I had I had a bit like, oh, don't watch Iron Claw.
- 37:53Bad things happen. But but no, really good.
- 37:59Again, one of those, like everyone just going 100 mile an
- 38:04hour constantly, which for the amount of silly nonsense that
- 38:10we'd had, yeah, this was one of those ones.
- 38:13We just go, OK, there's going to be no silly.
- 38:14Well, there was some silly nonsense, but it was like, it
- 38:18was like tag team silly nonsense.
- 38:19Yeah, yeah. But it's really, really good.
- 38:21But genuinely, I'm genuinely impressed with with, with
- 38:23everyone involved in it. Like yeah, but.
- 38:27KPK had a look of like the Warriors because what?
- 38:33No, it was like they'd all come dressed as all come dressed as
- 38:36as as Sting and hadn't told each other they were all coming
- 38:39dressed as Sting. You can't.
- 38:41Have its head when they all dress up and go oh, e-mail this.
- 38:45Yes, if they don't sting through the ages.
- 38:48That would have been fun, but yeah, I was.
- 38:52Going to say, have we got to the point of Sting sat with like a
- 38:55burger and a massive cigarette hanging out of his mouth yet
- 38:58then? No, no.
- 39:01No, no ponytail ponytails thing. That's where it's.
- 39:06At yes. To be fair, this was a good
- 39:12match. I cannot fully remember anything
- 39:15about it other than the intros where one of the Bryant's was
- 39:20the best Bryant of the three and the other two.
- 39:23Just saying. Did you ask for that to be said?
- 39:26But. It was the middle child.
- 39:29Yeah. But it was a.
- 39:31It was a fun match. The forgotten one, Well, it's
- 39:36it's it's more of mysteries things as well.
- 39:38Is doing silly intros as well for everyone because there was
- 39:42something and what was it during the Daddy Luna thing that was
- 39:44like, I eat Cleary only eats half bagels.
- 39:48Yeah. LJ Cleary hates half eaten
- 39:55bagels, Danny. Luna only eats half a bagel.
- 39:58Loves half eaten bagels. Yeah, and I think Sasquatch
- 40:02loves all bagels. So yeah.
- 40:04And then we had chance of we love bagels or we love half
- 40:10bagels. And there was just weird little
- 40:14Yeah, that's what it was. But there was still.
- 40:17I don't think that the wrestlers know what their introductions
- 40:19are going to be. I.
- 40:21Think some loosely did, some didn't, but the main event for
- 40:27all the marbles was Sue Grayson defending the mystery title
- 40:34against Flash Morgan Webster. This this was a really why we
- 40:42had all Funny games. This was a proper main event.
- 40:47Stu hates comedy wrestling, yes. So he's just out to murder
- 40:51people now. But.
- 40:52Once tried to add some humour into.
- 40:56It And that's what got his got we got his head kicked in,
- 40:58wasn't it? Yeah, this.
- 41:03I really enjoyed this as a as a man.
- 41:05Always good to see Grayson. Grayson's excellent.
- 41:10He's such a lovely man. I had a little chat with him.
- 41:14He was, he was teaching the flying brides how to do karate
- 41:16and like in like that little foyer bit when I went to the
- 41:19toilet and I was like, all right, that's just normal.
- 41:23The thing that shocked me with Stu is you saw him in this match
- 41:28and everyone around me is just going, God, he's beefed up since
- 41:31I last saw him. He's.
- 41:32Huge. He's massive and then he comes
- 41:35out in attack later and he looked like a a little like a
- 41:40really little person compared to his opponent.
- 41:44Wait a minute. But no, it just, it's just Stu's
- 41:49brilliant at just killing people.
- 41:51Yeah. Like his old, his old, you know,
- 41:53Bradford combat. He he just is.
- 41:56He just looks so good. He's like it was.
- 41:59Yeah, I I can't say enough. I'm not a massive Flash Morgan
- 42:04Webster guy. I get it.
- 42:05It's just not for me. But watch him get his head
- 42:09kicked in was was fun for me. No, he's he's the he was the
- 42:16Grayson was the MVP of the 24 hour match that you know that
- 42:20that that well, as long as they did he at one point he ran a
- 42:25seminar. Well, I, I remember turning it
- 42:28over and he was just crawling around the rings with his boots
- 42:32on his hands like a crab. And I was like.
- 42:34Yeah, give this. Man, everything, yeah.
- 42:37Those were, those were Uno's boots, I think, because at some
- 42:40point, I think you. Know retired.
- 42:42Yeah. At some point during that, you
- 42:44know retired that didn't and it unretired I think I can't
- 42:47remember. It was one of the finest 27
- 42:50hours of wrestling I've ever watched.
- 42:52I had a great time. It was, I had it on.
- 42:54I had it on the whole time in the background, even when we was
- 42:58because I, I was having a bad time sleeping it at that time.
- 43:00So I just had it on. Not all times great.
- 43:03The the Cult of Bucket, we got so many great moments from that,
- 43:05Yeah. It's, it's, it's a, it's a
- 43:08beautiful thing. And definitely, definitely put a
- 43:11shift in because I think it was like 23 hours in and he was just
- 43:14doing press UPS in the ring on his own, like.
- 43:16That's a machine. They don't even know if I think
- 43:19he did have a sleep at one point because I know the intervals
- 43:22some of them had sleeps. I don't know if he did, but he
- 43:25he had boundless energy. Who doesn't need sleep?
- 43:28Sleeps for cowards. Probably I.
- 43:30Think it said he had like overall like 3 hours sleep
- 43:34during it all the rest of it he's just like you crazy
- 43:39bastard. May his pillow always be cool.
- 43:44If he ever chooses to sleep on it.
- 43:46When he chooses to use it. But the one word for this match
- 43:53rotation? Yeah, them Welsh lads were
- 43:59having a fun time, weren't they? Oh well they kept shouting we
- 44:04want rotation and then Stu basically shouted at him saying
- 44:10a flip is a rotation you idiot and then.
- 44:14I doubt, I thought they were talking about crop rotation.
- 44:17You know like to keep keep 1 field fallow for years so that
- 44:21you know you don't kill the soil.
- 44:23I mean, it's, it's, it's what you want on wrestling farming
- 44:25kind of. What?
- 44:27It's mystery wrestling? Who knows?
- 44:29Agricultural Interests. It's a good idea.
- 44:33For him, seeing all the jobs that London Lightning's been
- 44:35trying, maybe that's probably tried farming at some point.
- 44:39Kind of sad we didn't get. I was so sad we didn't get
- 44:42London. He should have just been behind
- 44:45like the the pop bar or whatever, just selling stuff.
- 44:48I. Want to hope it's?
- 44:50Bartender. Just to convince myself he was
- 44:53there, he just did not want to be seen.
- 44:56He's behind the scenes, Yeah. He was operating the hard come.
- 44:59But effectively that whole match was just chance of rotation, and
- 45:06it was funny for the first it's. That thing of running it into
- 45:10the ground, though, that some people do, yeah.
- 45:12And it was like, I mean, it wasn't like a Rev Pro 1 where
- 45:16like hardcore country where it went on the entire length of a
- 45:20match. But I mean, they they gave a
- 45:23good go. They're having fun.
- 45:26I can't, you know, I can't be angry, but I was a bit angry at
- 45:28the time. Yeah, unsurprisingly, she won.
- 45:34Then we all departed for. A.
- 45:38Was there not some antics of the attack 24/7 belt at some .0
- 45:44this? Is in the next match.
- 45:46I see. I can't.
- 45:47I remember, I remember. I remember Cecil Cecil winning
- 45:51the attack 24/7 and I thought it was before the attack show
- 45:57because then doesn't Didn't he lose?
- 45:58Didn't he lose it at the next? Show.
- 46:00Yeah, yeah, I was, I don't think.
- 46:02Who had the title? What are the Bryants?
- 46:07Possibly I have let me open up Cage.
- 46:10But no, it wasn't the attack show.
- 46:14He defeated Dean O'Brien. Yeah.
- 46:16Yeah, yeah, it was during that and then they all ran off.
- 46:20And then yeah, there was a whole and I'm like, I love a good 24/7
- 46:24belt. Like when it's.
- 46:26Done properly and it's just like a Benny Hill chase scene.
- 46:30Yeah. Yeah.
- 46:34So we we tried to go for food. I didn't.
- 46:37I was stupid. I decided to hold on.
- 46:40So I got back. More on that later.
- 46:44Can I interest you in a handful of wet tuna?
- 46:46You know what? That would have been far better
- 46:50than what I actually had in the end.
- 46:52They all went off for food. I just went to the pub.
- 46:55Oh I'll go early on this. I ordered a McDonald's at 10/18
- 47:04and was told it will come in 10 minutes.
- 47:09The McDonald's was literally 8 minutes up the road and I didn't
- 47:13get it till about 11:00 and it was freezing.
- 47:19You know, when I grow up, I want to be the guy whose job it is to
- 47:21sit on the burgers before they deliver them to you.
- 47:23Is that? A fetty, Sure.
- 47:28No, because they're always like, looks like someone's just sat on
- 47:30them. Don't they like when you get
- 47:32them? Like probably when you put your
- 47:35school, you used to put your school sandwiches in your, in
- 47:37your sandwich bag and then they'd be like flat by
- 47:39lunchtime, like the body of Christ.
- 47:41Yeah. It's got to say that's never
- 47:44happened to me. Maybe.
- 47:46You probably. You could probably.
- 47:47Afford to wear. Or something.
- 47:48Like that? Yeah, I asked for just the
- 47:49carrier bags. You can't get a Big Mac from
- 47:52down here because when you do, it's just like it's the burgers
- 47:55are all hanging out the side and all the sauce and the lettuce.
- 47:58You took that back in and held it up.
- 48:00That one on the picture, you'd be like, is this a joke burger?
- 48:03Right. Yeah.
- 48:04They never come intact. They always come in with like,
- 48:06like their tongues hanging out. It's like they've assembled
- 48:09them. Like with a robot, but a drunk
- 48:12robot. Yeah, mind you, I don't get
- 48:17McDonald's. I go for Tim Horton's, but
- 48:19that's just me. I'll tell you.
- 48:22I'll tell you a very involves tuna fish.
- 48:24I'll tell you a very long, boring story about Tim Horton's
- 48:26one day and the fact they've never responded to my complaint.
- 48:31That'll be behind the paywall on Tier 2.
- 48:38It was. It was, yeah, it was awful.
- 48:41One of the worst things I've ever had to sit through.
- 48:44So we we came to the evening and it was Attack pro Wrestling
- 48:50hoodie weather free. Match number one was the 24/7
- 48:56title scramble featuring the champion Nino Bryant, Cecil Nix,
- 49:04Junior Benito, Chris, Tara Ravy, Davey and Shane Hook.
- 49:12This is just fun chaos. Yeah, what you want in a in a
- 49:1524/7 everyone just trying to pin everyone at the behest of
- 49:19everyone else. So I think it was Nino ended up
- 49:24getting the initial victory. Yep.
- 49:28I think they pinned Nicks if memory serves it sounds.
- 49:34Right. Yeah.
- 49:35And then after the match Nick basically grabs Nino's hand to
- 49:42almost say well done, fair play to this lad, everyone applaud
- 49:46him and then rolled him up and became the 24/7 champion then
- 49:51dashed. Legend, yeah.
- 49:58Pretty much what happened match #3 saw Danny Jones taking on Stu
- 50:04Grayson who was now a good guy. He was a healer which did make
- 50:14make me laugh. Literally 2 hours before he's
- 50:17ripping into the Welsh and that one that was there and then he.
- 50:23Loves. Everyone, I enjoyed this.
- 50:27This was very hard hitting. Yeah, we were a bit confused.
- 50:33We were like, this isn't for the belt though, is it?
- 50:35They wouldn't be defending the mystery belt on an attack show,
- 50:37but well. He didn't come out with the
- 50:39belt. No, I know, but he's the
- 50:41champion and we thought as it's like a, you know, Cecil's just
- 50:44won the the their 24/7 belt, which obviously is going to go
- 50:47back at some point, but yes. Unless.
- 50:50It was a case of like, he get a beat and he got the opportunity
- 50:54to to challenge because that's the thing there, isn't it?
- 50:58It was just when he won, we were like, oh, OK, it wasn't for the
- 51:02wasn't for the belt, then it's fine.
- 51:03It was still a blinded match like I said.
- 51:07Stiff. I think that's the only way
- 51:10Steve knows how to work. Yeah.
- 51:14As well then, Oh Joe Yeah, Jones picks up the.
- 51:22Yeah, yeah, Jones won. Now I'm going into blur
- 51:26territory. We then had A tag team match
- 51:30with Subculture, that being Flash, Morgan Webster and Mark
- 51:34Andrews taking on Love App It's and Rain Leverkusen Bennett, who
- 51:44suddenly regained a new body having been melted to death
- 51:49earlier in the day. All wrestlers have clones in the
- 51:52back. It's fine.
- 51:56No belly buttons, just on the back of the neck.
- 52:02There it was. It was fun.
- 52:04It was. It was a typical.
- 52:06It was a good tag match like. It was.
- 52:09I'll I'll say this now, there wasn't a single bad match across
- 52:14the whole 3 shows for me. No, every month.
- 52:18Was good. I was never bored.
- 52:20Yeah. 01 thing I will say about the scramble match, slightly
- 52:30rewinding, at one point you had Ravy Davy on the outside and
- 52:36there were two little lads that were on front row and a spare
- 52:40chair at the side and Ravy Davy was basically asking him for
- 52:43like tactics. I just imagine that these two
- 52:49little like Welsh kids just going, I don't understand what
- 52:52you're saying, Like they kept looking at his.
- 52:56He's got a very thick accent and he looks like he would try and
- 52:59sell you like low grade heroin. Yeah.
- 53:01Yeah, yeah, it was, one of them said.
- 53:04One of them said why don't you get back in the ring anyway?
- 53:10I am me time. I'm buying me time.
- 53:13Can't win if you're on the outside.
- 53:16It was the thing of one kid had to like suffer and just listen,
- 53:20and the other kid just got. That's how it kind of came
- 53:23across. Where are we?
- 53:27Oh yes. We've done the tag match.
- 53:31Then we had Matt Gatlin and Eva Luno as your main event of the
- 53:36first half. Everyone chanting for sexy.
- 53:41Evil Luno. Yeah, I mean.
- 53:46There's a lot to love. There.
- 53:49You love it, you know. Yeah.
- 53:51No, it was. Fun it was it.
- 53:53Was like, clearly, you know, I was like, fine, I'll do a match.
- 54:00I haven't wrestled. Here for a while.
- 54:01So I will do a match. Good foil who's changed his
- 54:09name? From last time.
- 54:10I saw him because I think he was Elijah.
- 54:12I think last time I I saw him because he in Nomads Who?
- 54:19Sorry, Matt Gatlin used to be Elijah of Death.
- 54:25Matt's Retchler. Is there a death match for?
- 54:27Us to call. Elijah, I've been like Scotland,
- 54:30I want to say. I'm getting confused.
- 54:34There's a couple. It's a good biblical name.
- 54:38Someone can double check for me? Good.
- 54:40Strong. Name I'm looking.
- 54:44Match ended. With.
- 54:46Gatlin who? Constantly kept going for Uno's
- 54:50mask, ripping it off, untying it.
- 54:53A coward's move, yeah. Uno, who looked.
- 54:58On course to win obviously had his mask ripped off, covered his
- 55:03face and ended up taking the pinfall.
- 55:10The one thing that does annoy me when the RIP mask off is Wilder
- 55:15covering. If you.
- 55:17Actually put your hands on your face.
- 55:24I'll just leave it there. Suspend your disbelief.
- 55:26It did. It's.
- 55:32It's I think. The thing is, we've all seen
- 55:34that. Episode of Being the Elite where
- 55:36who knows in the background without his mask on anyway.
- 55:38So I mean what happened? Oh well, those.
- 55:42Always have been there. He's amazing.
- 55:44He's. Got lovely eyes.
- 55:45Yeah, very lovely lad. Oh, stop.
- 55:50Absolute sweetheart. Then we came back from the
- 55:53interval. You and me were stood outside, I
- 55:57think I asked you and you, you had a look of trying to act
- 56:04sober. Well, I've been on it all day
- 56:07mate. You you had.
- 56:11Trademark Joe Hey. Is this where that?
- 56:13Strange. Man came over and started.
- 56:14Talking to us. It might know I might have been
- 56:21somewhere, it might have been, it might not.
- 56:22Have happened. I know.
- 56:23I got a leaflet from the Communist Party in my back
- 56:25pocket when I got home. No, that wasn't me.
- 56:28You were aware that? OK.
- 56:32Whatever flop she built. I was just.
- 56:35Like, oh, Welsh communists. Other parties are available.
- 56:41Yeah. The Donna party, Yeah.
- 56:45Munch, punch party, Party of five and.
- 56:49Party and. Party rings, right?
- 56:52Moving. On Where are we?
- 56:57Oh yes. We were doing white.
- 56:59Claws for like £2 I can mate. It was silly.
- 57:04You know what it's the cheapest. Food and drink place I've ever
- 57:07been for a wrestling show. Is that right?
- 57:10Yeah. My only gripe was that Franklin
- 57:13Meyer wasn't selling. Hot dogs, because it was a
- 57:15little right down the way he could have gone and stocked up
- 57:17and made a killing, even if he just got those little boxes of
- 57:21cocktail sausages. Oh, we feed those.
- 57:24Dogs so I can't eat them but. True, yeah.
- 57:27Anyway, I will say that I will say yes, I was just going.
- 57:31To say they didn't have, they didn't have Coca-Cola, you know,
- 57:38Diet Coke. They did not When?
- 57:41I when I was there, they. Ran out.
- 57:43They didn't. Have any?
- 57:45I wandered the water all night. Well, you should have turned up
- 57:48Saturday then. We then had brought your own in.
- 57:51I did. Mike Quinn caught me a Red Bull
- 57:54got. Around the corner you could
- 57:56just. Drop one in, Mike.
- 57:57Went Mike went and got one. And a hip flask I.
- 58:01Don't know it was your hip, that was me.
- 58:03Hello. Yes, that was fun.
- 58:08We then had Connor Mills against James Ellis.
- 58:14I can't even. Remember this I?
- 58:17Remember it being good but it. Was it was just?
- 58:19Standard meat potatoes match. Like genuinely can't remember
- 58:22the match. It was, I remember it being.
- 58:26Good, I remember enjoying myself.
- 58:28I think I was too busy focused on, like there was someone in
- 58:32the crowd's hairline that was annoying me or something.
- 58:34I can't. It was something, yeah.
- 58:40I'd reached a point. Yeah, I generally.
- 58:46I think Ellis, you know Mills. Mills won, yeah.
- 58:52Some someone with 2L's won this. Won this match, so it was either
- 58:56Mills Connor Mills one anyway. I remember Mills.
- 59:01Really. Because I was like.
- 59:02Boo. And then after the match.
- 59:06We had. Ellis going up to this little
- 59:10lad and his dad and they've set this match up for the
- 59:16anniversary show. Yes, that's little Thomas's.
- 59:21Dad, I believe, yeah. To which we we were watching his
- 59:30his partner, who did really good acting has to be said just kind
- 59:37of hand to face on. Oh, I can't.
- 59:40Believe that it was more. Believable than some acting I've
- 59:43seen on TV, I'll put it that way.
- 59:48I watched an episode of Waterloo Road.
- 59:50The other. Week because I was.
- 59:51Too tired to get off the sofa and find the buttons.
- 59:54Wow, that's on TVI don't know why would you do that to
- 59:57yourself. I could have just.
- 59:58Gotten the bed but that was comfy.
- 59:59Oh wow. John.
- 1:00:03John Richardson is stealing a living.
- 1:00:05I'm. Sorry.
- 1:00:08And I know where. They shot that as well.
- 1:00:11Should keep it there. Shot it.
- 1:00:12Near was it? The bus depot on.
- 1:00:14Hyde Rd. Because they changed the whole.
- 1:00:18Nickel. Was it the Nichols?
- 1:00:20Campus on Hyde Rd to Waterloo Road and it must have been
- 1:00:24there. Done it six months.
- 1:00:26They're doing it around a few places now.
- 1:00:30Yeah, it didn't initially did it as well.
- 1:00:33Stopped by angry mobs. Forming and stuff. 1.
- 1:00:37Thing I've just remembered after that.
- 1:00:39Subculture Love at First Fight Match We had Josh Holly come out
- 1:00:46challenging Mark Andrews to a match at the anniversary show in
- 1:00:51a courtroom tables match. Yes.
- 1:00:58It's basically a tables match. But I think.
- 1:01:01Courtroom table I'm assuming? They're all going to wear gowns
- 1:01:04and then little. Good wigs, because I'd be into
- 1:01:06that. I mean, Holly came out.
- 1:01:11Who obviously must have come. Some kind of?
- 1:01:15Like, not a judge. Like a lawyer's.
- 1:01:18Judge whatever thing, gimmick, and then this big beefy bloke
- 1:01:24came out in a wig, which I'm going to point.
- 1:01:29Out was not like a judge. 'S or a barrister's wig.
- 1:01:31It was like a French aristocrats Juke's wig.
- 1:01:36You know what the hair reminded me of?
- 1:01:38You know that Simpsons episode where Mr Burnsey's son Rodney
- 1:01:43Dangerfield. Rodney Dangerfield.
- 1:01:45Back to him again. I'm not made of airports, Yeah.
- 1:01:49That one it was effectively. On your little trip.
- 1:01:59Effectively, it was actually no another way to put it.
- 1:02:03It looked like when they do, like a toothpaste kind of
- 1:02:08forming on a toothbrush. That's kind of how it looked.
- 1:02:13Oh, like a child cheat. That would, oh, hang.
- 1:02:15On I've lost your audio. Can.
- 1:02:19You hear me? Can you hear?
- 1:02:22Me. There you go.
- 1:02:23I. Was going to say, I know.
- 1:02:30Can you hear? Am I still?
- 1:02:31Yeah, I can hear you. Yeah.
- 1:02:32I just came up Internet. Is just the.
- 1:02:34Table just a bit. That way it all got out and I
- 1:02:36was like OK. It's going to be fun to edit,
- 1:02:43yeah, but. I found it very.
- 1:02:46Weird. Having this big burly bloke come
- 1:02:49out in a white wig if. I've learned anything Attack
- 1:02:55won't shy away from. Silly bollocks.
- 1:02:56Like, that's the thing, right? So why not?
- 1:03:01Maybe that's his gimmick. Yeah, I was going to say over
- 1:03:03the course of the whole weekend. That was the only thing that had
- 1:03:07me thinking, this is too far fetched.
- 1:03:10That's where the line's drawn, yeah.
- 1:03:12Big lad in a. Wig, right, Julie noted.
- 1:03:15But also it does have to say that.
- 1:03:18I hope that was a wig because it stayed on despite like all the
- 1:03:22moves we were doing. No one's natural hairs like
- 1:03:25that. It says but yeah.
- 1:03:29There'll. Be someone, it's good.
- 1:03:31But yeah, the. The anniversary show.
- 1:03:33Is February? I think it's February.
- 1:03:38I want to say 14th. I did see the poster and took a
- 1:03:42picture, but my phone's. Charging somewhat, Yeah.
- 1:03:45March 21st. I think.
- 1:03:52Southampton. On the 20th.
- 1:03:54And I know it's the following. Day.
- 1:03:57So it's got to be the 21st again.
- 1:04:01When attack. Have their anniversary show.
- 1:04:07So I will, I will let you. Be.
- 1:04:12Yeah, well. I'll just pause this bit while
- 1:04:14we no. It's fine.
- 1:04:16I'm. Trying to find my phone.
- 1:04:18But it must be. Upstairs I got.
- 1:04:20It hang on, this is normally my job.
- 1:04:22On podcasts of doing all it's. On the 21st of March.
- 1:04:27I was right. Saturday I'm sure they'd be
- 1:04:34streaming it as well. And I'm going to make my time to
- 1:04:36watch that because I enjoyed myself.
- 1:04:38I think they stream the shows. Live, but then it's a bit like
- 1:04:43mystery way. You then they go behind a
- 1:04:45paywall. Yeah, because I wasn't going.
- 1:04:47It was like 10 LB. So.
- 1:04:52It is. It's.
- 1:04:53There for you if you want to watch penultimate match was the
- 1:04:58freshness in Fabio and Martin Steers defending their attack
- 1:05:04tag team titles against KPK in members Abu and Ahmed all I can
- 1:05:14fully. Think of this was.
- 1:05:16Steers basically getting beat up, a lot of it running away.
- 1:05:23A lot of. Hiding at the back, yeah.
- 1:05:26Screaming and running away because he did not.
- 1:05:29Want to get in the ring with them?
- 1:05:32Which you probably have right to do so to be fair, but in the end
- 1:05:39it. Saw the fresheners win and.
- 1:05:42Retain their titles. The Attack.
- 1:05:47Title. Which was your main event, So
- 1:05:50Kanji and LJ Cleary. This was a whole lot of fun.
- 1:05:56This was this was a really good title match as well.
- 1:05:59Has to be said LJ clearly. Being.
- 1:06:06Outnumbered fans wise because everyone was cheering for kanji
- 1:06:09apart from 2 blokes on the side. You thought I'll cheer for you
- 1:06:13LJ, just to make it a bit. Fair being.
- 1:06:19Outnumbered kind of like 9:00 to 1:00.
- 1:06:25Yeah, it was it. Was a good title match.
- 1:06:30Kanji picking up the win, and then we had Daniel Luna come out
- 1:06:35after the main event challenging Kanji at the anniversary show
- 1:06:42for the attack title. That will absolutely being
- 1:06:49banger. Yeah, probably Banger,
- 1:06:52absolutely. Always good to.
- 1:06:53See Luna Who? In truth, I don't think was
- 1:06:58going to be there originally because I think she was, should
- 1:07:01have been at TNA, but they've had a lot of visa issues.
- 1:07:07Yeah, Brits weren't there and went on other promotions.
- 1:07:17Independent. Contractors out at this point.
- 1:07:22I'm going to throw it over to the other two, but I will read
- 1:07:27the matches. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 1:07:31Because at this point. I I'm.
- 1:07:33Really home crying because I weren't there.
- 1:07:37This is going to be fun. I had a day.
- 1:07:41Out me. I've been to the pub I.
- 1:07:43Saw a big statue of some hands I went to.
- 1:07:47I went to a bar that I thought was a gay bar called Kiwis, and
- 1:07:50it was not it. It was awful.
- 1:07:55Yeah, it. Was great I.
- 1:07:57Really have a day before we move on to that.
- 1:08:00I will bring up the fun that we had after the show because
- 1:08:07you're. Is it Freya Faye?
- 1:08:11Little Faye? Yeah.
- 1:08:12So Joe here. Being a good friend managed to
- 1:08:16get me a lift because we were oh, I'm about to ask you about
- 1:08:21that, but I shouldn't be dead so.
- 1:08:23Staying near the the same hotel I.
- 1:08:26Think I have no idea. And the taxi drivers took us to
- 1:08:30the wrong Premier Inn. That's what she did.
- 1:08:33She thought she'd booked the one at the.
- 1:08:35Train station and she'd booked a different 1 so they'd left their
- 1:08:38stuff at the the one at the train station or some some some
- 1:08:41is this bear with. Pink hair.
- 1:08:45Yeah, a little fan. In.
- 1:08:47Fairness, she was. Right.
- 1:08:50She had typed in Cardiff. Central.
- 1:08:53Premier Inn, unfortunately. Every.
- 1:08:58Hotel in Cardiff is called Cardiff Central and then you.
- 1:09:05Have to put the extra thing. On So Oh, is it one of them?
- 1:09:09Sort yourself. Out Wales, so we got dropped off
- 1:09:12at Queens I. Think and then.
- 1:09:16We ended up taking a. Second taxi to my hotel so they
- 1:09:22went to pick. Up there.
- 1:09:23So if anything. It didn't save you any time at
- 1:09:25all. I mean, you were still waiting
- 1:09:31for a. McDonald's at the end anyway,
- 1:09:33so. Oh, and also.
- 1:09:36On my day I found a place called Soapy.
- 1:09:38Joe's and I went in and I was the only Soapy Joe in there.
- 1:09:40I was. I was.
- 1:09:41There was a disappointing day out.
- 1:09:44I know it should be called Soapy Joe.
- 1:09:45It. Wasn't with a possessive
- 1:09:48apostrophe, but yeah, no, I'm going to try and show you a
- 1:09:54photo but. I don't think it will show up,
- 1:09:58but you mentioned statues of hands.
- 1:10:01Yeah, holding a big rope, was it?
- 1:10:03Where was that? I can't.
- 1:10:05Even say you've disappeared. That's the one.
- 1:10:07Yeah, yeah. Kiwis.
- 1:10:10The Kiwis. That.
- 1:10:12It's it was outside my. Hotel.
- 1:10:15Oh wow, that must be enrolment. Consider it on Google Maps.
- 1:10:19It says it's. About 10-15 minute walk from the
- 1:10:23train station. It's about 5:00.
- 1:10:27Yeah, even then you can slow walk.
- 1:10:29It in about. Three.
- 1:10:31Yeah, it's. I think where we were.
- 1:10:35It was like everything was just. Within like striking distance of
- 1:10:38each other. Weren't we were in the middle of
- 1:10:40nowhere? Fish it.
- 1:10:43Was a big Tesco. Because I was debating to.
- 1:10:46Get a well the. Train from card essential to
- 1:10:50cafes. Would have missed it and then
- 1:10:53completely messed up what time doors opened.
- 1:10:56I thought it was 1:00 and it was half one so I ended up walking
- 1:11:01from the hotel all the way to cafes which was about 30
- 1:11:05minutes. I've got my steps it.
- 1:11:10Was. It was a nice.
- 1:11:11Scene. It was a good day Got.
- 1:11:14To see some of Wales, what got to see a Matic Swan?
- 1:11:23I've never. I've never been to, never been.
- 1:11:26To see any any I've. Technically been to.
- 1:11:31Cardiff, but literally like I drove into it, stayed in a
- 1:11:36hotel, we did some filming for something in a school and then
- 1:11:39left. So I hardly saw any of it.
- 1:11:42And so yeah, this was like my first time going to see anything
- 1:11:47and going to cafes as well, which is nice because I've heard
- 1:11:51a lot about it. It's accessible, which we love,
- 1:11:55but we had a great. Time the.
- 1:11:57The everybody there was so friendly.
- 1:11:59So like we saw a few familiar faces like Joe and a few others.
- 1:12:05Charlie was there, Lucy was there, the guys from Untitled
- 1:12:10Wrestling Podcast were there. So there was a bunch of
- 1:12:13familiar, there's a bunch of familiar faces rocking around
- 1:12:17and a whole bunch of really lovely new faces.
- 1:12:20So that was nice to kind of meet some new people.
- 1:12:24And everyone just seemed there was you could tell the people
- 1:12:27that have. Been to the the.
- 1:12:29Shows the day before because they were like extra excited
- 1:12:33like, and like you were telling me because Joe wasn't sat too
- 1:12:36far from us. He was like just over my
- 1:12:38shoulder. So I could just add a clear line
- 1:12:40of sight of of Joe's face every now and again.
- 1:12:44I still need that photograph that that.
- 1:12:46That Mike took of me, yeah, that's kind of you human.
- 1:12:51It's just. Quietly seething, Yeah.
- 1:12:53Yeah, yeah, it's that was a. That was a case of just
- 1:12:57thinking. Life had just faded from you the
- 1:13:01whole weekend. It just, it was the emotion that
- 1:13:04was just pouring out at that point.
- 1:13:06It was, you know, I just, I just don't like.
- 1:13:09Certain. People.
- 1:13:10Who do so? Who do certain?
- 1:13:12Things and then deny it. Amen.
- 1:13:15Yes, agreed and. So yes, it's just every now and
- 1:13:20again I could just turn around. And.
- 1:13:22Like communicate with Joe a little bit and and you, you had
- 1:13:26a great time. I was having a whale of a time.
- 1:13:29Yeah, he immediately was. Like he had three stages of.
- 1:13:31Hell, it isn't Hell, you're going to have to watch it.
- 1:13:35Great. It was everything was beautiful.
- 1:13:37Like I said, like. It's it was as as like a double.
- 1:13:43Header goes. It's one of the best ones I've
- 1:13:44been to because it was exactly my kind of thing.
- 1:13:47It was good wrestling and then silly nonsense, yeah, but not
- 1:13:52dumb nonsense. Like genuinely funny everybody
- 1:13:56like there was it's. It's it's the first.
- 1:13:58Time in a long time. It's the first time in a long.
- 1:14:03Time that I. Have laughed that hard.
- 1:14:06It was it was akin to being at a stand up.
- 1:14:09Yeah, sure. So just constantly.
- 1:14:13Laughing and the obviously at the beginning we had Simon and,
- 1:14:20you know, come out and they had a chat with us that was lovely.
- 1:14:22I couldn't quite hear what they were saying because my hearings
- 1:14:26bollocksed. Yeah, they didn't have mics.
- 1:14:29They were just. Yelling.
- 1:14:30Into the crowd, but it was basically they were just vamping
- 1:14:33for time and talking about yeah, yeah.
- 1:14:40But it was no, it was like, you know, saying about like it's
- 1:14:42been X amount of time since he's been here.
- 1:14:44And, you know, saying that they're, you know, they're
- 1:14:47looking at coming back, maybe not here, maybe somewhere else.
- 1:14:52And it was like Simon Miller did Simon Miller stuff, you know,
- 1:14:58stood there looking like compressed beef.
- 1:15:03And yeah, no, it was, it was just, I mean, every you could,
- 1:15:07you know, when you could feel the energy in a room, like, like
- 1:15:12someone could have come out and just like done a shit on a
- 1:15:15potato. I never would have gone.
- 1:15:16Yeah, like it was, it was like that every, it was everyone was
- 1:15:21just ready for anything. Everyone was so excited.
- 1:15:24Everyone was just hyped. And so, yeah, they.
- 1:15:27They could have literally sat there and read the phone book
- 1:15:29and people wouldn't cheer for it.
- 1:15:30They wouldn't cheer for it and then obviously.
- 1:15:33The first match you get your druids to come out, I was so I
- 1:15:37popped so big for that with the big ones finally because I was
- 1:15:42like, did they bring them over? They bought them here.
- 1:15:45Well, they would have been. Through them the first.
- 1:15:52Was it when you had Connor Mills, you could basically see
- 1:15:54the gold chain and you could see him his face through the actual?
- 1:15:59Yeah, well stand your. Disbelief.
- 1:16:03This one, this one I was like. That's feel the LJ Cleary at the
- 1:16:06end, yeah. Yeah.
- 1:16:12Julia Benito. Danny Jones.
- 1:16:14James Stone. LJ Cleary in your four way
- 1:16:17opening Druids match. Yeah, we got a fast-paced 1.
- 1:16:22We got a three-way. Cheek clapping, we did.
- 1:16:25We did. That was great.
- 1:16:26I got, we got a. Reverse cheek clapping as well,
- 1:16:28as I recall we did. Yes, yeah, we also there was a
- 1:16:31really funny. Moment as well, where LJ decided
- 1:16:34part way through designed to do a move from the top rope that he
- 1:16:38needed Danny's help. He's like Danny.
- 1:16:42Come here. He's.
- 1:16:43Like, you don't do it on your own.
- 1:16:44He's like, obviously not. It was just, it was just they
- 1:16:48were all bantering with each other and the chemistry amongst
- 1:16:51all of them was just brilliant. And yeah, high energy got the
- 1:16:56crowd really whipped up almost immediately.
- 1:17:00Bodies playing everywhere. What more can you want?
- 1:17:02Really? I can't even remember who won
- 1:17:07Junior. Yeah.
- 1:17:09It's the thing of, but This is why I think.
- 1:17:11It's why they do these ones at the.
- 1:17:12Start. It's because it's always
- 1:17:15fast-paced. Everyone's getting their bits
- 1:17:18in. And it just gets everyone ready
- 1:17:20to go for the rest of it. And it's it lines you up nicely.
- 1:17:22Yeah, so. Yeah, 10 out of. 10 on that one.
- 1:17:26That was a lot. But I mean if that's 10 the the
- 1:17:28next match. Is is a prime number out of 10
- 1:17:32Fucking infinite? The next I've.
- 1:17:35Not laughed so much. You.
- 1:17:39Want to read out the matches PR mighty do?
- 1:17:43You want me to just read the? Matches.
- 1:17:45And then you just talk about PA. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:17:49So. The second match was the Falls
- 1:17:52Count Somewhere match featuring top Dog and.
- 1:17:58Sasquatch. Yes.
- 1:18:00This was so much fun. We.
- 1:18:03Have seen a false count somewhere.
- 1:18:04Much before I I've seen one at Future Shock, have we?
- 1:18:09I don't know Holly Barlow. And Sam Bailey.
- 1:18:13Wonderful. I think this is my first false
- 1:18:16count. Somewhere it was a mystery one
- 1:18:19as well. A while.
- 1:18:20Back. I can't remember who it was, but
- 1:18:22it turns out it was under a bin. I remember that much of it.
- 1:18:27But yeah, Sasquatch clearly had some Alka seltzers sorted
- 1:18:32himself out in his previous days.
- 1:18:35His hangover. My, my, my One takeaway moment
- 1:18:42from this is them finding the the the best built on top of
- 1:18:47the, the, the bar. Yeah, and Sasquatch.
- 1:18:52Is. Exaggerated run.
- 1:18:54Up and then knocking himself unconscious that that was just
- 1:18:58fucking and also. The bit before that as well with
- 1:19:01a little bit of slapstick, kind of Benny Hill esque, where he
- 1:19:05puts a top dog on the bar and then lifts the cameraman over
- 1:19:10him into the bar area so that he can get a shot when the other
- 1:19:15cameraman and ref, I think then come in through the bar door.
- 1:19:19So it's just it was just so stupid and just the all kind of
- 1:19:23stuff they're doing this each other like just stupid fun.
- 1:19:28I these are two of my favourite mystery of Wrestling characters,
- 1:19:32so I popped big for this. I didn't hear them say at the
- 1:19:35beginning that it was a false count somewhere.
- 1:19:38So it wasn't until Sasquatch at the beginning was moving, just
- 1:19:44dragging it by. He's like here, just this is
- 1:19:46slightly and then. Lining it up and then.
- 1:19:48Rest like not there. And I was like, what?
- 1:19:51And it was, it was Kim and Aaron from DDT accessories that were
- 1:19:57like, it's false count somewhere.
- 1:20:00It took me a second. Yeah.
- 1:20:02Just ridiculous. The crowd was barely laughing
- 1:20:07the whole time. It was just so good.
- 1:20:09Like there was. Bits of proper wrestling in it,
- 1:20:12but it was mostly just Sasquatch doing Sasquatch stuff.
- 1:20:17Like, just trademark mystery wrestling, Yeah.
- 1:20:21Goofiness. And it was the one that you
- 1:20:23would show. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:20:25And you can, you could hear. Simon and you know, increasing
- 1:20:30on commentary from where we were sat and we were on the other
- 1:20:33side of the room. I've not watched it.
- 1:20:35Yeah, with the commentary. But I imagine that stuff, yeah.
- 1:20:41It was just as soon. As he started pinning him and
- 1:20:43then just moving. Came a fraction and then pinning
- 1:20:46him again. It's like it's literally not in
- 1:20:48the ring lads. Right?
- 1:20:51Well, lad, I don't know. What Sasquatch is?
- 1:20:56Isn't a mammal. An animal?
- 1:20:58No, I don't know what they identify us.
- 1:21:00It's fine, yeah. I don't know.
- 1:21:02We can have some kind of poaca, so yeah.
- 1:21:04I don't want to assume that. But they they.
- 1:21:07They put on an absolute top notch comedy.
- 1:21:11Goofy Graps and Top Dog got the 123.
- 1:21:17Yep, nice. Somehow after.
- 1:21:20The hell he was getting. Out.
- 1:21:22Handed to him. I've got the, I've got the clip
- 1:21:25of it somewhere of. Of Sasquatch just knocking
- 1:21:27himself on that thing. Yeah.
- 1:21:29And it's it's pure. It's pure.
- 1:21:32Rick Mail. Sort of just violence.
- 1:21:35It's great. Loved it.
- 1:21:38Proper old. School comedy.
- 1:21:41Next. Match number. 3.
- 1:21:44Like us, kid, like us. And kid like us too.
- 1:21:50Taking on subculture in Flash. Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews.
- 1:21:56Stupid sexy kid like us. That little cherub.
- 1:22:01Faced bastard. I'm like, I like to wear your
- 1:22:05mask on, but without. Your mask it's even bad this
- 1:22:09like this is part of my thing if.
- 1:22:10They do come back it. Might be catch.
- 1:22:16Because Catch have done silly bollocks, haven't they?
- 1:22:19Did you have a lot of nomads? Yeah.
- 1:22:22My same it's. Yeah, yeah, true.
- 1:22:25Because yeah, the the 1st 1st. Pinfall or inoculation match
- 1:22:30lives on in my brain, yeah. And the fact that Lycos were
- 1:22:36there. I was like, well, you know, it's
- 1:22:39this thing. But this again, this is a great
- 1:22:43match. It's nice to see Lycos.
- 1:22:45I've not seen him in so long. It feels like, yeah, he's, he's
- 1:22:49at the minute everywhere. He's a bit being a bit of a
- 1:22:51naughty boy, so it's nice to see him being a bit like fun like,
- 1:22:55and I know he's not being naughty boy everywhere, but he's
- 1:22:58quite heavily being nice. So just leaning at the goofiness
- 1:23:00of it. Yeah, but.
- 1:23:01He's a silly guy. And yeah, it was.
- 1:23:04It was really nice, but they had a really strong match.
- 1:23:08It's the thing about mystery wrestling.
- 1:23:09Yeah, you get your comedy grabs, but you also get some actual
- 1:23:13freaking gems and some real great straight matches in there.
- 1:23:19They might be cloaked with some kind of comedy and there'll be
- 1:23:22some funny moments in there, but you can still get some really
- 1:23:25great matches, and this is probably one of them.
- 1:23:28I can't remember who won Lycos. Well, we won.
- 1:23:31Yeah, Lycos. Won.
- 1:23:34But again, you've got two, I want to say 2 of the top 10 tag
- 1:23:40teams in Britain at the moment in there.
- 1:23:43And I don't really care for Flash Morgan Webster, so that
- 1:23:45that counts for something. But yeah, he's not sad.
- 1:23:47I'll I'll say a. Bit slow.
- 1:23:51Before you make another point every time.
- 1:23:55Lycos does his brain Buster and everyone replies shut up.
- 1:24:02The chat. During the strange just go.
- 1:24:05Why is he saying the move? That's the anger, the genuine
- 1:24:10anger of people. They'll get Canadians and
- 1:24:13everyone knows. Explain with no, no no.
- 1:24:15He. He will do this another.
- 1:24:17Three times, yeah. And there was me and two others.
- 1:24:21And every time he did it, we, we'd already had it typed out to
- 1:24:25like, join in. Could you hear the crowd?
- 1:24:28Could you hear the crowd? Responding oh OK, just yeah I
- 1:24:32was just wondering if if he couldn't hear that every single
- 1:24:34time the crowd had a it was a call and response yeah he
- 1:24:37doesn't do it for every move it's just.
- 1:24:39For brain Busters. Just for brain Buster?
- 1:24:41Someone asked. John Cena.
- 1:24:45And then? Three people.
- 1:24:47Explained what was being said. I mean, oh, OK, what they're
- 1:24:50saying now, I mean the same thing.
- 1:24:54He's going to do a brain Buster. It takes him like. 3.
- 1:24:56Attempts to. Get it going, take a good run up
- 1:25:00every now and then. A couple.
- 1:25:01Of run ups and then he'll then he gets it.
- 1:25:03It's like Cody Roach's Crossroads.
- 1:25:04You've got to do about four. Of them for it to finish count
- 1:25:07as one finishing move right because one night I could take
- 1:25:10two of them and be fine yeah me too the chat.
- 1:25:15During that match. Of people.
- 1:25:16Getting genuinely angry. They're angry that we didn't Boo
- 1:25:20the refs, but they're getting. Angry that right Canada.
- 1:25:24I just I just don't understand anymore.
- 1:25:28What do you want from us? I mean, there's a match later
- 1:25:33on. Where people are just going,
- 1:25:37what what's this about? What's was that gene by the end
- 1:25:40of it? Or I can get on.
- 1:25:42Board with this Oh good, I'll I'll.
- 1:25:46Explain where we come to it. But yeah, overall, that was it.
- 1:25:50Was a pretty nice match. I don't really know much about
- 1:25:52Subculture or Flash, so I I, I honestly know.
- 1:25:59Yeah, I don't. I don't really know too much
- 1:26:00about them, but I enjoyed the match.
- 1:26:02It's great. It's more the fact that he's
- 1:26:04like a mod. And isn't.
- 1:26:06Like a World War One fighter pilot that annoys me the most.
- 1:26:08I think fucking well, a lot of it because.
- 1:26:13He he always used to come out. Dressed as like a mod and.
- 1:26:16Then he suddenly changed. And now since.
- 1:26:21Yeah, but he's not wearing flying goggles and like you.
- 1:26:23Know a silk scarf is he like you call Flash man Amanda Nash does
- 1:26:27I know I know I know and that's. Already one of those?
- 1:26:30I guess. Then they could have like a
- 1:26:32dogfight match or something like, I don't know, I'm just OK,
- 1:26:35but. I'd want, I'd want him to have
- 1:26:40cardboard boxes. Yeah, Ainted.
- 1:26:43And just pull them up to the chest.
- 1:26:45Yeah. And then just chase each other
- 1:26:47around firing pea. Shooters at each other.
- 1:26:49Have a run in all those bits like at the end of Takeshi's
- 1:26:51Castle, like when it's all just stood in a car park.
- 1:26:54Yeah, next mark. Well, next series of matches.
- 1:26:59So we have technically 3. Matches.
- 1:27:05This is ridiculous. As we have, I can't.
- 1:27:10Run this. Back fully, I can't remember.
- 1:27:12All this. Way the original contest.
- 1:27:16Was for the attack. Actually, this wasn't this.
- 1:27:20Was for the. Attack This was a legitimate.
- 1:27:22Match This wasn't an official match for the.
- 1:27:25Attack 24/7 Title It was Into the Lap Entertainment match
- 1:27:36between James Ellis and Cecil Nicks.
- 1:27:43I don't even I think this was two out of.
- 1:27:46I want to say it was like. Two, it was.
- 1:27:47It was. It was British rounds.
- 1:27:49Oh, sorry. Yes, that's why, yeah.
- 1:27:53Where? The rounds.
- 1:27:55A long. Time don't ruin it.
- 1:28:01That first round. Went on for ages.
- 1:28:02And the second one. Was very short.
- 1:28:05This is a Russian doll of. A match.
- 1:28:10Time expands to fill. The gap.
- 1:28:15But it was I was. Like, hey, I'm, I love that
- 1:28:19Cecil knows World of sport. Like, like old, old, you know,
- 1:28:23from the Brighton Pavilion. It's Big Daddy.
- 1:28:25Yeah, of course he does. I was like, of course he does.
- 1:28:29Yeah. Because it's exactly the.
- 1:28:30Kind of bollocks that he'd be into.
- 1:28:35But yeah, this was this. This was.
- 1:28:38So it was how many rounds is it? Three?
- 1:28:40I think it was 2. I think it just I think.
- 1:28:45It had 7 rounds I think. Professional like 3.
- 1:28:51Was it the old? Ring of Honour pure was defended
- 1:28:56under British rules, I think. Wasn't it at one point?
- 1:28:58I think that was 5 rounds I think, but it was, it was.
- 1:29:04It doesn't matter because it wasn't world sport rules, it was
- 1:29:06what was the. Made-up thing.
- 1:29:07They've made-up and I'm pretty sure at one point we just the
- 1:29:10whole round thing. Fell apart and it they just
- 1:29:12stopped going watching each other with tea towels like.
- 1:29:16Yeah, so. Yeah.
- 1:29:19It was just, I don't know who the the guy was.
- 1:29:22He came out with James Ellis, by the way.
- 1:29:24Like he's second I'm assuming? A green tracksuit.
- 1:29:30He was. Hilarious there was.
- 1:29:33I didn't even seem to be fair. Not going to run through.
- 1:29:36It but I didn't see. He wasn't featuring much.
- 1:29:39On he's the so he's on the outside most of when.
- 1:29:42You saw him like waving the. Towel and that was it.
- 1:29:45The eye poke spots so obviously. There's a whole bit where James
- 1:29:50Lac Eye pokes Cecil and referees like whoa, no, you can't do
- 1:29:55that. That's fine.
- 1:29:57So he goes over and he gets some money off his mate and he gives
- 1:30:00him £25 and then it goes over and gets the remaining amount of
- 1:30:05of of iPods to which they love. Brilliant stream.
- 1:30:10That was so funny it. Was brilliant.
- 1:30:11It was the fact that he was like, well, how much?
- 1:30:1225 gave, you know, when he gave him 25, we got the his money's
- 1:30:16worth. Though Mike did point out he did
- 1:30:18want too many, so now he owes the rest.
- 1:30:21Well, as we know, Mystery wrestling.
- 1:30:22Refs are notoriously. Corrupt.
- 1:30:24Anyway, the job has been. There's been that same $20 going
- 1:30:27around them for months now. He might have owed him.
- 1:30:31Petrol money, so he. Thought I'll wait.
- 1:30:34Just give me back, yeah. Yeah, this.
- 1:30:37This this entire match. Just became it got to a point
- 1:30:40where I was literally sack going what's going?
- 1:30:42I I couldn't keep track because there was.
- 1:30:44People kept coming out. I know.
- 1:30:47I was like. Who are these lads now?
- 1:30:49Referee. Would someone come out and put
- 1:30:50the referee took the? Referee shirt off and now the
- 1:30:53referee was in the match and the another guy was now the referee
- 1:30:57and then he rolled everyone out and got them all out and it was
- 1:31:01and then another referee came. So I'll I'll try and.
- 1:31:06I put a little bow on this bit so you had Ellis pinning.
- 1:31:14Next. And because of that, became the
- 1:31:1724/7 champion no one was thinking about.
- 1:31:22And so I said, Oh yeah, he's just pinned the champion, so
- 1:31:25he's now a champion. And then Greshner's come in.
- 1:31:31In Martin Steers and. Fabio Steers pinned.
- 1:31:37Ellis. Which made him.
- 1:31:39Now the 20. 47. Champion and then Mark Andrews.
- 1:31:45Joined the fray. And they started having their
- 1:31:48own little mini match. It was a.
- 1:31:49Match within the match so. While you had both.
- 1:31:53Nicks. And Ellis in their respective
- 1:31:56corners, getting fanned with towels and old school world of
- 1:32:03sport. We then had technically.
- 1:32:09A. A.
- 1:32:09Match. Within their mini.
- 1:32:12Rounds. They were doing submissions and
- 1:32:14everything on it and at one point, Cecil.
- 1:32:16Nicks got involved and put someone in a bloody submission
- 1:32:18for ages, and it was a pretty police submission, by the way.
- 1:32:24It was a chant. Of I don't know.
- 1:32:26What's going on? Like it was a what the fuck is
- 1:32:28going on? Because I was like.
- 1:32:30I took it to my mate and I was like.
- 1:32:32It's that match for. I don't know what's happening
- 1:32:34now. I'm so confused.
- 1:32:36The only way to describe this is Pete, you're just going to have.
- 1:32:39To get, you know, the Charlie Day from Always Sunny.
- 1:32:42It's Pepe silver. Yeah.
- 1:32:45Like just just. There's no way to.
- 1:32:48Describe it. Just watch it.
- 1:32:50Just watch it the fact that a second.
- 1:32:52Match happened while the 1st. Match was technically still
- 1:32:55going. I think it was still going.
- 1:32:57They were in, they were in a break, but then it.
- 1:32:59Yeah, but it was it was a thing of the crowd all.
- 1:33:02Like using the F word and Simon Miller you could just hear like
- 1:33:06almost under his breath was going PGPG.
- 1:33:09No, it wasn't PG at all. Very quickly.
- 1:33:15We lost that very quickly, but then you had.
- 1:33:19Steers and Fabio wearing James Ellis shirts.
- 1:33:27Yeah. Then there was the whole like
- 1:33:29turn. Turning and joining factions and
- 1:33:32turning on each other. And because I think they'd
- 1:33:34ripped the James. Ellie shirts off.
- 1:33:38And. Underneath one of them had.
- 1:33:41Oh no, both of them had. Yes, I saw Nick shirts on and
- 1:33:45then another. One ripped his other.
- 1:33:47Shirt off and was a yeah. And it was a turn.
- 1:33:55Within a turn. Within a turn, big shirt.
- 1:34:00So you. Can probably have that one
- 1:34:04because it. Won't fit me.
- 1:34:05We only have. Mediums left and he's like, it's
- 1:34:07a Canadian medium. And I was like, I've lost a lot
- 1:34:10of history. Wrestling shirt in a medium.
- 1:34:12It's nice. We had no extra large ones left
- 1:34:14when we got there on Friday. Saturday when I when I looked
- 1:34:18with psycho. Mike was, he let everyone try on
- 1:34:20a shirt. He just went, oh, it fitted.
- 1:34:25Oh. Oh.
- 1:34:27No. Some of them rose.
- 1:34:29Yeah, and I'm thinking no, he's very hot in.
- 1:34:32That room, he's. Bring a lot of Febreze with him.
- 1:34:36But yeah. It was, it's just one of those,
- 1:34:37It's one of those you have to go away and watch.
- 1:34:39And I think we'll be studied for years to come.
- 1:34:42It should be. It should go down in history as
- 1:34:44one of the. Greatest matches ever to be made
- 1:34:46ever. One of the most confusing
- 1:34:47matches in this Yeah, yeah, I. Think we?
- 1:34:51All are doing that match when Uno bought that.
- 1:34:58OK, that was just Cecil going. Just let me.
- 1:35:01Give me the next boss and. He's like, OK, let.
- 1:35:03Me take the reins on this everything.
- 1:35:06'S going to happen. I think that was.
- 1:35:08The. Interval match, wasn't it?
- 1:35:12I think that was the match. Heading into the interval.
- 1:35:15Yeah, well, there was. There was three more.
- 1:35:16After this. So yeah.
- 1:35:17So I imagine that was the one. That it.
- 1:35:21Meant into the interval, I think.
- 1:35:22Yeah, because I went and stood outside and was like I need.
- 1:35:25Just, it was akin to like the Coronation Street fight itself
- 1:35:29that that just made me go and stand outside and.
- 1:35:31Question. My life choices up to this point
- 1:35:34that have brought me here agreed.
- 1:35:36Yeah, there was an. Absolute meltdown because once
- 1:35:39that match. Finished the stream, died for
- 1:35:41about 20 seconds. Oh really?
- 1:35:45Everyone panicking and. Then we came back with.
- 1:35:48Uno and just going, are we back on?
- 1:35:50Are we back on? Is everyone there and everyone's
- 1:35:52going yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It's like being the Welsh
- 1:35:54Internet media in. Case you haven't noticed, we are
- 1:35:58on an. Interval.
- 1:36:03But it was I. I'm glad the interval came when
- 1:36:07it did because it was getting real, real hot in there because
- 1:36:09everybody was getting really like everyone was so excited and
- 1:36:12having so much fun, but it was getting really hot and there
- 1:36:14were so many bodies just learning about it.
- 1:36:19Felt like there was 18 people in that last match.
- 1:36:20Alone. Yeah, the one thing I noticed.
- 1:36:24On the. Saturday.
- 1:36:25Was the first show the mystery was warm in there and then the
- 1:36:29second show was quite cool. Well, that's how I I, I was
- 1:36:36comfortable all the way through. It that's all I can.
- 1:36:38Say, really? Anyhow, and we went.
- 1:36:41The. First interval and then we went
- 1:36:44back. Into it, didn't we?
- 1:36:46And then we had the challenger. Chooses her title, yes.
- 1:36:53Going up against Cristara. And it was.
- 1:36:57Which title of Rio do you want? Very excited to see.
- 1:37:02Rio there, to be honest, yeah. Love Rio, fit me all.
- 1:37:07Even us watching on stream went. Oh, she's a yeah.
- 1:37:12And I I quite like Cristara as well.
- 1:37:16Again, another another kind of strong regularly featured person
- 1:37:22during that 24 hour match. Pretty sure.
- 1:37:28One of the instigators of coloured bucket?
- 1:37:32I think so. It's all a fever dream, isn't
- 1:37:35it? That's what I mean.
- 1:37:36I'm so glad that you guys saw that.
- 1:37:38And I'm so glad that the the the show we all watched this weekend
- 1:37:42was on stream because otherwise it was definitely like a follow
- 1:37:45your dear, like just like a shared delusion.
- 1:37:48We didn't see anything. We saw nothing and we didn't go
- 1:37:52to anything. But yeah, this was a this was a
- 1:37:55good match. When they came out, their intros
- 1:37:58was that one of them likes cats and the other likes dogs and
- 1:38:04obviously real big dog hates cats.
- 1:38:07So that that wound up being their kind of their rivalry
- 1:38:10really. And it was definitely more dog
- 1:38:13fans and cat fans and it like, I have cats and a cat and dogs.
- 1:38:19So I was going for both. But yeah, wound up with some
- 1:38:23funny little moments, Rio wrote. I think Rio kind of comes at one
- 1:38:27point. So I just kind of went deadly
- 1:38:29silent and someone just went meow and it cracked her up.
- 1:38:34I was. Wondering why she'd cracked up.
- 1:38:36Because we could. Hear on stream there's just
- 1:38:38there was just a lot of weird noises being.
- 1:38:41Made at the point. It's just, it just got weird.
- 1:38:44We all got a bit. Weird.
- 1:38:45For a minute I had a really kind of like angry selling.
- 1:38:48Face and then all of a sudden she had to put a hand over her
- 1:38:51mouth. Yes, because someone gently
- 1:38:53knew. I just saw Miller.
- 1:38:55Talking and then Rio's. Yeah.
- 1:38:59We had. No idea what she's trying a
- 1:39:01strong style. Into.
- 1:39:03This and the people that are just doing.
- 1:39:04Cat noises are like it's yeah. And then so she chose the Eve.
- 1:39:10Title to go for which is exciting because I would like to
- 1:39:15see more of this lady. She was great and a lot of
- 1:39:19attention on the Eve discord. A lot of people during this when
- 1:39:24I'd love to see Christa over here.
- 1:39:26Yeah, yeah, that would be, it would be lovely to.
- 1:39:28To maybe see her over here at some point, but just it's
- 1:39:33exactly what you expect of a of a match with Rio.
- 1:39:38Heavy hitting, like just throwing this chick about.
- 1:39:42She gave back as much as she could.
- 1:39:44Basically. Rio came out on top and yeah,
- 1:39:47just. And this was just like another
- 1:39:49one of those, not too much silly.
- 1:39:52It was a match. It was a good match.
- 1:39:54There was no silly bollocks, but there was a lot of.
- 1:39:57Silly bollocks. Yeah, silly, silly yelling into
- 1:40:00the crowd. About.
- 1:40:01Cats and dogs and yeah, yeah, that was good that.
- 1:40:07Was that was nice. And it LED us.
- 1:40:10It was a nice kind of pallet cleanser from the kind of Cecil
- 1:40:15Chaos going into the next chaos which was which was.
- 1:40:22Which was which was Psycho Mike against Gene money?
- 1:40:27See, I've had this ruin for me because when I was still.
- 1:40:30Outside, I saw Gene walk in and I was like, fuck yeah, we're
- 1:40:34getting Psycho Mike against Gene Money.
- 1:40:36I was like, someone got my letter.
- 1:40:39I love Gene Money so much. He's amazing.
- 1:40:43He's the Rick Mail of of of of wrestling like.
- 1:40:46There's just something about him that he doesn't even have to do
- 1:40:49anything. And I just find him hilarious in
- 1:40:53the best possible way. Like not in a disrespectful way.
- 1:40:55He's just just the way he carries himself.
- 1:40:58But yeah. But yeah, no man chose.
- 1:41:01Because he. Used to be.
- 1:41:02So funny. Yes, yeah, it was just that I'm.
- 1:41:05Gonna have to do. Wrestling, that was the thing
- 1:41:07that. Always gets me whenever someone
- 1:41:09tries to do moves on him. Right, fine, it's and it's Yeah,
- 1:41:13but him against Mike in a genius, you know, genitalius.
- 1:41:20Yeah, just it was just 20 minutes of them trying to punch
- 1:41:23each other in the plums pretty much in increasingly elaborate.
- 1:41:27Ways. I didn't know there were so many
- 1:41:30different. Ways to attack one's groyne.
- 1:41:36But these two could. These two could do a little.
- 1:41:39Kind. Of how to like a little book.
- 1:41:42Like the Kama? Sutra, But most of Dick
- 1:41:46punching. Yeah, the.
- 1:41:48Thing that the thing that had. Me choking on my drink at one
- 1:41:53point was, I think it was money, basically using Psycho Mike's
- 1:41:58balls like a boxing punch bag. Yeah, it's a speed bag full on
- 1:42:01kind of like which which again. Is is is is Rick and Rick and
- 1:42:07aid? Like in a nutshell, it's it's
- 1:42:09the dangerous brothers, it's the young ones.
- 1:42:11Yeah, but. The.
- 1:42:12My favourite bit about it was at the very beginning.
- 1:42:15When Cycle Mike got distracted by the hard come, he.
- 1:42:23Just spends the first couple of. Minutes of the match just being
- 1:42:26like but the hard come and not. Paying attention to anything.
- 1:42:30Else I think he kept going for a body slam and every.
- 1:42:34Time he kept saying body slam and then the bodies roll.
- 1:42:40Yeah, and every. Time you don't have the camera.
- 1:42:42Would like zoom out and then he'd just roll and then he'd.
- 1:42:48Roll him back, you just go. Body slam and then he'd do it
- 1:42:51again and the. Camera would pan out.
- 1:42:53So it's it's like when you have like the hugs.
- 1:42:58Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:43:00And then I know card. Is.
- 1:43:01Middle finger and card, just the people what they want, zooming
- 1:43:05out immediately, yeah. Having to slowly zoom back in
- 1:43:09when he's rolling him back in. But.
- 1:43:14The chat. During this match, people, they
- 1:43:18must have lost their. Minds watching this?
- 1:43:21Is the most. Mystery wrestling match I've
- 1:43:23ever seen. Really.
- 1:43:25Yeah, I've got to agree. He fits.
- 1:43:27Nicely there, doesn't he? Yeah, it's that it doesn't win
- 1:43:30like much of the year for. Mystery.
- 1:43:33To be fair, the night previous I've been like.
- 1:43:36Yeah, Sasquatch special guest referee, match of the year.
- 1:43:39No, just stop wrestling now. We've peaked, right?
- 1:43:43We're done. And then I was like, psycho
- 1:43:46money. Sorry.
- 1:43:47It's going to be a it's going to be a crowded top three.
- 1:43:50Yeah, yeah, there was just in. This in this match, there was
- 1:43:54just so many like laugh out loud moments.
- 1:43:58You had the psycho Mike slamming Gene Money's head on the hardest
- 1:44:04part of the ring just repeatedly.
- 1:44:07That was freaking ridiculous. You had Gene Money trying to
- 1:44:11reason with him at the beginning, being like, this is
- 1:44:13my debut, you're embarrassing me.
- 1:44:18Just Gene brought it. They they they, they worked so
- 1:44:23well together. And I, I would like to think
- 1:44:26that the mystery wrestling fans fell in love with Jean as much
- 1:44:30as we all love Jean. And it's obviously you had the
- 1:44:34the the coast to coast moon moonsault to the balls, which
- 1:44:45was. Stunning.
- 1:44:46By the way, like he does it so well, it looked great and I was
- 1:44:50like, and that's just the hoofs. Of one of the nads, the thing
- 1:44:53was, Miller had said. Because he was Uno just going.
- 1:44:58Out of his mind saying oh. I've never seen that before.
- 1:45:01And then Miller had said, oh, he'd done this like a year or a
- 1:45:06couple of years ago and ended up tearing like an ACL.
- 1:45:10So to have him still doing it takes a lot of bottle.
- 1:45:14Yeah, yeah, no. He's I love Gene, I really love
- 1:45:20Gene money. I love the way he gets in the
- 1:45:22ring. Cracks me up I think.
- 1:45:24Is James still still the only holder of the Gene money?
- 1:45:27International belt as well, which can only be defended by
- 1:45:30people called gene money that. Feels like that's something that
- 1:45:35Ian Skinner should. But.
- 1:45:39Yeah, it's it can only be. Yeah, the only negative I have
- 1:45:43on this. Whole thing they didn't play
- 1:45:47Baker Street a gene. It's.
- 1:45:54Mystery. Mystery.
- 1:45:56Only uses free music. There was.
- 1:45:58An incident once where I think they.
- 1:46:00Used like a. Kind of Tetris E sound and Uno
- 1:46:04was like very worried on commentary about like a
- 1:46:08copyright strikes against the stream.
- 1:46:10But also, yeah, that's why they have remember during I think
- 1:46:13during the 24 hour. Match as well, somewhat.
- 1:46:15They were singing a song and you know what's on comes away.
- 1:46:18Oh, I'm not sure. I think you're singing it.
- 1:46:21It's fine. But yeah, you can.
- 1:46:22You can. But you can't.
- 1:46:24They never use licenced music. They use like, I think even when
- 1:46:28all the wrestlers come in, they don't have been there and it's
- 1:46:32just been some generic. Kind of random disco, funky
- 1:46:35music or whatever it's you get to recognise like people's music
- 1:46:39now. Because it's the same one every
- 1:46:40time, but for a while they just would just press play on
- 1:46:43something random, whatever one of those, you know?
- 1:46:47CDs used to. Get with cigarette cards because
- 1:46:50it was the thing when I heard it.
- 1:46:51LJ. Clear and I thought oh please
- 1:46:53play ace of base and they didn't.
- 1:46:55Oh no, they cannot afford that shit I would not get.
- 1:46:58Clear but happy now I've heard. If I don't.
- 1:47:01Immediately take the stream. Down and during it get taken
- 1:47:05down. It's a shame really, they're so
- 1:47:07positive with it. But if I don't hear it's a
- 1:47:10beautiful life by. Ace of base.
- 1:47:12When LJ clear is there I want to cry.
- 1:47:17It's got a phone and listen. To it.
- 1:47:21It's one of those. Things, it's like a lot of
- 1:47:22places will if they're. Not recording it or whatever.
- 1:47:24If it's going on YouTube, they'll use whatever music, but
- 1:47:27if it's going on YouTube, just because you'll just get it won't
- 1:47:30be allowed. And it's, yeah, it's, it's, it's
- 1:47:33silly because it's like Grado all in when he said to.
- 1:47:37Tony, can I, can you just have it pipe in, have a oh, what's it
- 1:47:44called now? What's his?
- 1:47:47What's his theme? Madonna like a virgin?
- 1:47:51Now that was the only one I could.
- 1:47:52Think of. Cereal girl.
- 1:47:55Now she's got. Everyone she oh.
- 1:47:58Yeah. Back catalogue.
- 1:47:59I could stay here all night. That's not helping.
- 1:48:07Use your words, just talk amongst yourself.
- 1:48:11I'll try and. Think I don't.
- 1:48:15Know don't cry for me, Argentina, that was the
- 1:48:22microphone. Cord just.
- 1:48:24Like a prayer. I don't think I've heard that
- 1:48:2610. Kind of nearly did choke myself
- 1:48:31with the cable one as well. Who?
- 1:48:32Won. Oh, obviously it was it.
- 1:48:35Was a psycho. Mic psycho, Mic one.
- 1:48:38But again. I hope, yeah, like you said, I
- 1:48:41hope. See the the people around the
- 1:48:44world saw Gene Money and loved him as much as we love him,
- 1:48:46because there's no one that does it as good as Gene.
- 1:48:51Like there's other. Comedy wrestlers in the UK that
- 1:48:54are good but no one that does his it is.
- 1:49:00Just Rick mail for me like it's. Just that, just above toilet
- 1:49:05level. Very quintessentially British,
- 1:49:08Yes, like TV. Brit humour from like like you
- 1:49:11were saying like RIP my own stuff like that and he fits so
- 1:49:14nicely with it he's just got such an expressive face as well
- 1:49:17yeah yeah, that coast to coast Jesus getting low blown and
- 1:49:23doing the. Cross eyes.
- 1:49:26But again, for a match that was essentially.
- 1:49:28You know, 20 minutes of them and then him just busting out that
- 1:49:31that coast to coast. I was like, it's it's.
- 1:49:36Again, it's only the mystery. Does so well of just silly
- 1:49:38nonsense and then, oh, we'll just bang an actual bit of good
- 1:49:41wrestling in yeah just just it surprise you all the time
- 1:49:44because it's. It's comedy wrestling, but it's
- 1:49:46wrestling. They're all wrestling.
- 1:49:48Comedy wrestling. It's still wrestling.
- 1:49:49And yeah, and that's. That's the whole mantra.
- 1:49:52Isn't it like comedy? Wrestling is wrestling and it
- 1:49:54is. It's it's cabaret, it's silly,
- 1:49:57it's exactly Elvis. But have you ever heard of it?
- 1:49:59Rarebit? There was a Welsh wrestler
- 1:50:00called. Rarebit and I've I've only ever
- 1:50:03known him in Bolton wrestling as like a scary scary like dude
- 1:50:08like mask on. Sort of.
- 1:50:10Thing and apparently I was talking to him and he was like
- 1:50:13no, he's like a really funny comedy wrestler.
- 1:50:16I was like, I I can't see it because I've only ever known him
- 1:50:18as a scary Slipknot guy. Like, and he's like no, no, no,
- 1:50:22like when? He first died.
- 1:50:24He was. He was brilliant, He was
- 1:50:25hilarious. And I've been trying to go back
- 1:50:26and find stuff and like, can he find it?
- 1:50:28But can I want to know like oh I've just found a photo of him.
- 1:50:34He had a match with Isaac North. Clash of the Monsters just.
- 1:50:37Only knocking lumps out of each other.
- 1:50:39It's nice. It looks like BA Rose.
- 1:50:42Could be, yeah, But it's not. It's not.
- 1:50:46Oh, I think I know. What you mean?
- 1:50:47Now, yeah. Well, yeah.
- 1:50:51Anyway, anyway, main event. Hang on, just let me put on my
- 1:50:56posh voice. I know it wasn't.
- 1:50:58It wasn't the main event. It should have been.
- 1:51:00It was your penultimate main event.
- 1:51:03It was. For all the man.
- 1:51:08For all the Man Playing Championship, Stu Grayson
- 1:51:14defends against Cara Noir. Let me I was kind of exciting to
- 1:51:24see Tommy Swan. But then I was like, Oh no, I'm
- 1:51:27going to have to put up with him doing stuff and it like not
- 1:51:33really ticking them boxes. For me, sorry.
- 1:51:36It was a. It was a.
- 1:51:38It was a. Good match if you you know.
- 1:51:43There was definitely a. Couple of moments where I think
- 1:51:45Stu probably was trying for some comedy.
- 1:51:49Wrestling you got. Put into a couple of really
- 1:51:52gnarly submissions, but just stand on his.
- 1:51:59Feet. He's got no shoes on.
- 1:52:01Daft lad like his tootsies. You were right there.
- 1:52:04You. Could have just had a quick
- 1:52:06challenge. John Moxley adapt them off.
- 1:52:09Oh, saying that? Someone's dirty floor feet.
- 1:52:13But yeah, Steve's great, Karen. Noir.
- 1:52:20Fine, whatever. I just felt the the the stew's
- 1:52:26defence the night before was for me better.
- 1:52:30Yeah, and that's nothing against either of them.
- 1:52:32Like it was fine, just Karen Noir does nothing for me.
- 1:52:35I. Think years ago Karen Noir was.
- 1:52:43Kind of one of. The top ones, but this it's
- 1:52:49hard. There's nothing really you can
- 1:52:51think. Oh, well, that was It's more the
- 1:52:54gimmicks more. Interesting than the.
- 1:52:56Actual wrestler, the theatrics of it, That's it.
- 1:52:58He's covering it. Actually, I can't say anything
- 1:53:01because he'll just chat shit about your podcast.
- 1:53:03So that's. Happened before when I said
- 1:53:08something. Not even critical about him I've
- 1:53:13seen. To be fair I always think in my
- 1:53:15mate progress when it was him and Leo Rush and but this was
- 1:53:22more. On the rush.
- 1:53:23Side of things where he said if he comes out as blackout, I'm
- 1:53:28leaving and then blackout came out and he went right that's me
- 1:53:33gone and he ended up remonstrating with someone
- 1:53:37outside the toilet losing his mind saying that I hate that
- 1:53:41gimmick I hate that gimmick and then he came back and kind of
- 1:53:45just I sat at the back of the ribs sulking and just wanting
- 1:53:50the show to. Finish so we could go.
- 1:53:52Yeah, I kind of got that. From this I was like right, I've
- 1:53:56had enough now I. It's one of.
- 1:54:02Those I was pretty tired by this point.
- 1:54:04Obviously because. Like it's a lot for me to sit
- 1:54:09for so long. I will say, I say it was, it was
- 1:54:15a, it was a, it was a. Strong match because it
- 1:54:17obviously. It's Stu Grayson, so it's going
- 1:54:19to be a heavy hitting match. There was a couple of moments of
- 1:54:24of like a little bit of laughter and some light heartedness and
- 1:54:28stuff. It wasn't like super serious.
- 1:54:30It was a fine match. If you're a Karen Wahan, you'll
- 1:54:33enjoy it because it like say, if you enjoy Karen Wah and you
- 1:54:38enjoy Stu Grayson, I enjoy Stu Grayson.
- 1:54:40I like Karen Wah's entrance, so you know.
- 1:54:44It was fine and. It went how you expected it to,
- 1:54:49Yeah, I don't think. Anyone expected?
- 1:54:52To win, no, you don't expect. It.
- 1:54:56Was a good match it. Was fine but but.
- 1:55:00I personally. I I found.
- 1:55:03The the I I would have got. I like the the the last, the
- 1:55:07previous, the penultimate match a little bit better.
- 1:55:10I would have enjoyed going out on that.
- 1:55:11But also it's the title, it's the main event.
- 1:55:14It makes sense, you know, Just because it wasn't for us, does
- 1:55:20it mean it was? Bad.
- 1:55:22No, it wasn't. Bad it wasn't.
- 1:55:24A bad match? It just didn't take my boxes
- 1:55:26personally. I was still like I said, like
- 1:55:29like I was like nothing's going to top cycle Mike against you
- 1:55:32money for me. Like we could have brought out
- 1:55:35the everyone in that. Last.
- 1:55:36Night and I was like, doesn't matter, it's all downhill from
- 1:55:39here lads, we go on go. On Stop it, do the raffle.
- 1:55:44Come on. There was no raffle.
- 1:55:46It was on the on the. Attack.
- 1:55:47Show. Yes.
- 1:55:48Yeah, it was one of the. A pound.
- 1:55:52A ticket as well. Scandalous.
- 1:55:54I think, wait, is that not the? Norm, I'm stripped on.
- 1:55:58This time I think if you had flipped.
- 1:56:02The main events. Of.
- 1:56:05Mystery 21 and. 21 1/2. I think you would have had.
- 1:56:11Genuine. Thoughts that we could do a
- 1:56:14title change mainly because Flash Morgan Webster is part.
- 1:56:21Of new wave. Academy and there is one in
- 1:56:24Canada I think. Has he not done Mystery?
- 1:56:27In Canada. Yet I'm sure, I'm sure I've seen
- 1:56:30him on it. I really sure he has.
- 1:56:34Well, yeah, I know what you mean.
- 1:56:34It seemed more feasible. That it could have been a win
- 1:56:37there rather than so. He could easily have had him.
- 1:56:42Win the title, title, go to Canada and lose it.
- 1:56:48And there was there would have been genuine thoughts of oh, we
- 1:56:52might see a title change. Yeah, I.
- 1:56:56Didn't I didn't feel that at all in this.
- 1:56:58In in this one. But like I say, it was overall
- 1:57:02the whole show just talked about him was a lot of fun.
- 1:57:06Everybody was laughing from like before the freaking show even
- 1:57:10started going. Everybody was laughing.
- 1:57:14Matches of the night for me. Gene Money Psycho.
- 1:57:19Mike and then the. Runner up is the oh, now it's
- 1:57:23hard that one, but I'm going to have to say Sasquatch and Top
- 1:57:26Dog. I was going to say, I think for
- 1:57:32me. Just just for the the.
- 1:57:33Me going, I have no idea what's happening.
- 1:57:36In this I'm I'm entertained. I'm sports entertained to hell
- 1:57:39but I couldn't tell you what happened.
- 1:57:42I think my favourite 1 was. Psycho Mike.
- 1:57:45And Gene, but I think my second. Favourite match on that?
- 1:57:50Whole card was probably Rio and Cristara.
- 1:57:53It was brilliant match but. But.
- 1:57:57That's not the wrestling, yes. I didn't come and watch that.
- 1:58:01I would have got. I could get that.
- 1:58:06Anywhere 3rd place I'd. Probably put the world of sport.
- 1:58:09Entertainment match but I've just lost track and I'm getting
- 1:58:15old so I don't. Always remember things what
- 1:58:17they. Could have done with was.
- 1:58:18I know it's probably going to. Cost a fortune for overlays but
- 1:58:21put like, you know, like on FIFA, they have those circles
- 1:58:23around you with arrows of who's fighting who.
- 1:58:26That'd have been helpful. Just just have people in the
- 1:58:30crowd of. Arrows just going.
- 1:58:33Like I need to watch it back. So I can hear.
- 1:58:36Maybe Simon and Uno keep track, but I don't think they'll
- 1:58:40manage. I don't know, I think they
- 1:58:42completely lost. Like I said.
- 1:58:44It. Just became lawless like and it.
- 1:58:46Was beautiful possible way. Respectfully, it was.
- 1:58:49The best possible but since the whole weekend.
- 1:58:54I will say this very quickly. On the World of Sport
- 1:58:57Entertainment match I'd brought it up on chat and I said I hope
- 1:59:02they keep to tradition of the referee not going to ground and
- 1:59:06counting and just standing and going 123 and they did and I was
- 1:59:12so Cecil big man. Told you overall.
- 1:59:20How would you? How?
- 1:59:21Would you rate the the evening of weekend the highest possible
- 1:59:27rating? I can give it out of the.
- 1:59:28Highest possible rating I can give it π out of Infinity.
- 1:59:33Now it was, it was, it wasn't just the shows, like for me, it
- 1:59:37was a getting away from home for the first time in a very long
- 1:59:40time. Just on my own, seeing people
- 1:59:42I've not seen in a long time, spending time with them, like
- 1:59:46same people who I know have been through some stuff recently and
- 1:59:48I'm going to sit down and have a chat with them and like a beer
- 1:59:51and, you know, and then actually going to see like great
- 1:59:55wrestling, silly wrestling, getting to see your lovely
- 1:59:59faces. It's it's what for me wrestling
- 2:00:02is all about. I like, you know, I watch AW at
- 2:00:04a big arena and stuff because there's production values and
- 2:00:08all that stuff. But I also like going It was
- 2:00:10sweaty church all with a knackered bingo sign.
- 2:00:13And that's better than me because that's when you're going
- 2:00:15to see the people of you. Know you can go and speak.
- 2:00:18To them afterwards and go, you're a dickhead.
- 2:00:20You don't do that because that's rude, but like you know, I mean,
- 2:00:22you can go and talk to them and be like, I really enjoyed that.
- 2:00:25Thank you. Here's some money.
- 2:00:26Thank you for risking your your knees and neck for my
- 2:00:29entertainment. That's for me.
- 2:00:31I love. That more than anything else.
- 2:00:32That's. That's.
- 2:00:33The my. Brother is the same thing.
- 2:00:34Now my brother gets it. He's like, I don't really give a
- 2:00:36shit about the big stuff. It's it's this that that sells
- 2:00:40me on it. Yeah, we're the same.
- 2:00:42We like it's. About there's just no just going
- 2:00:47to an indie show. In a in a random venue.
- 2:00:49Somewhere there's just no nothing I can get.
- 2:00:52You meet so many characters, so many friends, everybody
- 2:00:55genuinely friendly. It's I've I've only ever come up
- 2:01:00against a couple of assholes, but you never see him again.
- 2:01:04Because I never see. Him again, Yeah, it's it's it's
- 2:01:07yeah, the wrestling community in IDBC has a bad reputation,
- 2:01:11whatever. But like, it's not people.
- 2:01:14That's not my no, and that's not my experience of it either.
- 2:01:18It's. Generally it's quite a lovely
- 2:01:19place. So it was, it was nice and we've
- 2:01:22not been like yourself, we've not been able to get away for a
- 2:01:25long time. I had to keep close to the
- 2:01:27hospital, couldn't go too fast. This was the first time I could
- 2:01:31do that. What a show to do that for.
- 2:01:36So even though. I was genuinely.
- 2:01:38Fucking suffering I was having. Like that is the best medicine,
- 2:01:42isn't it? Like and so yeah, it overdosed
- 2:01:45stuff if it was on Sundays. Yeah, that's I couldn't have
- 2:01:49done. I couldn't have.
- 2:01:50Done both, it's a good job. I didn't do both but.
- 2:01:54Yeah, if you can get yourself to like if they come back.
- 2:01:57And you can get to 1 go. If you can't watch it on the
- 2:01:59Twitch, go to their website and Patreon and buy it.
- 2:02:04And there's a load of free stuff on YouTube to put out.
- 2:02:07Yeah. But also constantly.
- 2:02:10Share free. Matches no that.
- 2:02:12Go to your. Local indie show there will be.
- 2:02:14One near you, go and watch it because it won't be this, but
- 2:02:18there'll be silly bollocks on it.
- 2:02:20Yeah, some of them do. Like future shop like.
- 2:02:23To do their kind of comedy and like theme shows, attack, True

- 2:02:50months time we have the future. Shock.
- 2:02:54Men's championship being defended at the Fairfield Social
- 2:03:00Club. Champion taking on Henry the
- 2:03:05eighth as you do. Oh, because they're doing the
- 2:03:11horrible history. Show.
- 2:03:12Aren't they histories? Well, it didn't happen, is it
- 2:03:14not? It should have.
- 2:03:16Happened. On.
- 2:03:18January and the chain to that show, that wrestling show called
- 2:03:24the Lolly, which was like friends theme, but it was
- 2:03:27basically just Lolly and it ended up with, I mean, I don't
- 2:03:32want to spoil the illusion, but Slam Johnson coming dressed out
- 2:03:36as Henry the eighth I've seen, which I said months.
- 2:03:40Once that horrible. History show got announced, I
- 2:03:43said he has to come out as Henry the Eighth.
- 2:03:45He's almost there. It's so weird.
- 2:03:50To the to the Godfather. 'S feet.
- 2:03:54Greensleeves. So the historical inaccuracies.
- 2:03:58Are going to make me. Angry you don't get Isaac.
- 2:04:02North, with his new bald head of.
- 2:04:03Stupid deaths. Like come on, what are we doing?
- 2:04:10But yes, you go to an indie show.
- 2:04:12Your local indie show, who knows what you might see or who you
- 2:04:16might see. Like you could even see Mr
- 2:04:18Blobby. That is a sentence that is true.
- 2:04:21Yeah. You could see Dave Benson
- 2:04:22Phillips in a in a. Gunge match?
- 2:04:25Yeah. Which?
- 2:04:25Yeah. Random Coronation Street.
- 2:04:29Actually, Peacock, who is? Sausages at people.
- 2:04:32Who knows what you might find it's assaulted by?
- 2:04:35One of them. We've we've said this for.
- 2:04:37Ages on on. On Danny Bacon, it's just like
- 2:04:40it's the most fun you can have. We've took absolute loads of
- 2:04:43people and they've even if they don't like wrestling, they go,
- 2:04:46yeah, I can see why you like this because it's, it's, it's
- 2:04:49silly and it's violent and you can yell stuff and no one it's
- 2:04:55not, it's so good. You can just like rather it's
- 2:04:58not horrible. But if you do that, you're a
- 2:05:00Dick head anyway. But yeah, you can just have
- 2:05:03it's, it's just a very cathartic breathing experience and you get
- 2:05:07to meet lovely, lovely people like.
- 2:05:12Yourselves. I was going to say that by.
- 2:05:13That was implied by the hand gestures.
- 2:05:15You see, and some places do really cheap here, yeah, you get
- 2:05:18bracelets you'll. You'll some bases do.
- 2:05:21Jameson's really, really cheap. You'll have an adventure.
- 2:05:24That's the best thing about it is you'll have you'll have an
- 2:05:27evening to talk about for months to come.
- 2:05:29I guarantee nobody will believe a word you say.
- 2:05:34Which? I'd say falls.
- 2:05:36Very nicely transitioning even to.

- 2:05:48coming attractions because I'm going to slot that little bit in
- 2:05:51where the gap was I'm going. To go all in towers, you think?

- 2:05:58Clips of the Critic I. Feel on wrestling podcasts.
- 2:06:01So there you go. That's why we, I, I will say I
- 2:06:05have asked permission from Nikki to use that, not to be fair.
- 2:06:11It's. Your bit you thought of it.
- 2:06:15Time you want. Disbelief, Nikki.
- 2:06:17You're supposed to disbelief. This thing yes, I authorised the
- 2:06:21usage. Of this segment in this podcast
- 2:06:23from my podcast you have to pay like tithe.
- 2:06:27Though. The first grain.
- 2:06:31Of the of the. Of the harvest has to go to your
- 2:06:34lad. Yeah, yes.
- 2:06:37What's happening? This feels like.
- 2:06:39That match now like I don't know what's happening, it's all got
- 2:06:42away from us and it a bit like upcoming interactions.
- 2:06:45What have you got so? This coming Monday.

- 2:07:09going to say we all have homes to go to, but we're already in
- 2:07:13it. Yeah, I know, but I've got to go
- 2:07:14and change. The light bulb in the bathroom.
- 2:07:16We have to shower by like candlelight.
- 2:07:18Last night, it was, it was. It was powerfully erotic, but
- 2:07:21also it felt like, like I had tuberculosis in Victorian times.
- 2:07:25It was, yeah. Did you have to like take the
- 2:07:28lid off and just bloat and then? Put the the frame back on.
- 2:07:32No, I showered with the candle in one of those holders like I.
- 2:07:34Held one arm out and did that and then switched it over as as
- 2:07:40Mrs Doyle. Once said.
- 2:07:42Put a miner's lamp on to do yeah, get a good.
- 2:07:45Mental image there. I have my clothes on.
- 2:07:48I'm not a pervert. And if anyone.
- 2:07:52Is interested, we will put the. Telephone number at the end of
- 2:07:56this podcast, not mine. Behind the pay wall.
- 2:08:05The card. So we have Troy Ryan taking on
- 2:08:11Brady Phillips. Sexy Kevin.
- 2:08:14Lloyd. Going up against.
- 2:08:17Ian Skinner. I don't call him Sexy Kevin.

- 2:08:25Eitenstein, your boy? Yeah, my number.
- 2:08:28One gives a boy Busick. Oh, see that alone?
- 2:08:32Is worth the money. Because Steen's going to get his
- 2:08:35face caged in. Because Busick's a mania.
- 2:08:38He's an animal. Especially since he's got his
- 2:08:41hair cut, has he? Got it cut, No.
- 2:08:45Yeah, he. Looks he looks like he would.
- 2:08:47He looks like he does like. Dog fighting in the East End,
- 2:08:50but he fights. The dogs.
- 2:08:52Now, like, yeah, because last time I saw him, he's growing his
- 2:08:55hair back. No, no, it's even more scary,
- 2:08:58yeah. No, no recent.
- 2:09:00On the last tree grit I know his hair was gone Dec.
- 2:09:07McCarthy. Against Henry Faust, which I'm
- 2:09:10looking for. Henry Faust, the Comedy.
- 2:09:12Wrestler No No. There was 1.
- 2:09:17At one of the cat. Shows he was like he was like a
- 2:09:18stand up comedian. He was a wrestler.
- 2:09:20Oh, that's that's Nathan Black. I would love this, but I don't.
- 2:09:24Like it? That's just me.
- 2:09:26Yeah, that's Nathan Black. But I love, I love Nathan Black.
- 2:09:29It's fine. It's fine, It's just I.
- 2:09:30Think it might have got me on a bad day.
- 2:09:31I think it was just after my mate tipped a lot of beer over
- 2:09:33the merch table so I was in a bad mood.
- 2:09:36I know he was having a go at fans.
- 2:09:39From what I was when I say. Having a go at fans.
- 2:09:42In character. Oh yeah, that's what he does,
- 2:09:45yeah. That's what he does, yeah.
- 2:09:46Just just double checking. So I'm not.
- 2:09:48Sued. We have three title matches,
- 2:09:55Lily Winter against Lucy Sky, All or Nothing, where the
- 2:10:00stipulation is if Lily Winter loses she will go back to
- 2:10:07becoming a ring announcer. We have.
- 2:10:12For the GMAC title. Or the Greater Manchester chip
- 2:10:18for? Those that do not know what it
- 2:10:20is. We have one of those.
- 2:10:22Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's catches.
- 2:10:24Oh. It's catches, catches belt
- 2:10:26basically. I'll I'll tell you a funny story
- 2:10:28in a second. Big T defends against Sam Bailey
- 2:10:34and your main. Event.
- 2:10:37Of the show, he's Scott versus Scotty.
- 2:10:42Scott Olbermann challenges The Catch champion Scotty Rock.
- 2:10:50I am. You should.
- 2:10:52Say stupid. Sexy Scott Olbermann.
- 2:10:55He is really right. He's got.
- 2:10:59Very, very. He's very well spoken.
- 2:11:01He's very quiet. I did like his post that he's he
- 2:11:05put on. Earlier going on about maybe I
- 2:11:08should grow a beard and go for a new look.
- 2:11:12He could just comb his hair down.
- 2:11:13Into a beard shave. My was it shave my head?
- 2:11:18I'm thinking, Oh, my brother wouldn't like that he's gone.
- 2:11:21Are you open? You're in a bad moment here.
- 2:11:23All of my booing finally got to him.
- 2:11:26But no, at the last catch show Scotty Rock against Teddy Ray
- 2:11:30was legitimately one of the best matches I've seen.
- 2:11:32Like it was. It was fantastic.
- 2:11:34Even though the ceiling lights fell on them like they just
- 2:11:36powered through. It was.
- 2:11:37I think Greenwood had to effectively get some.
- 2:11:41Sellotape and. Pin the cable.
- 2:11:44Up it was, it was sellotape and it was that little sellotape you
- 2:11:47get. From like a child's pencil case.
- 2:11:50Not even duct tape? Nope.
- 2:11:52It was sellotape. It was a little.
- 2:11:53Tiny wee sellotape. Because I'm just watching
- 2:11:57because that's. What wrestling is.
- 2:12:00That's to say that's that's that's so wonderfully built
- 2:12:03race. I was like.
- 2:12:04Why has no one got any cable ties?
- 2:12:05Come on in. The House in the House of
- 2:12:07Nomads? No, that's banging kind of shed
- 2:12:13and we have to have Sellotape. Yeah, it's an absolutely
- 2:12:18banking. Card gorillas like a good.
- 2:12:19Venue. It's a decent sized venue as
- 2:12:21well for it because there's a little, there's a little stage
- 2:12:24and everything. It's slightly bigger than the
- 2:12:25Bread shed. It's a mezzanine.
- 2:12:28I enjoy those pizzas. Last time I was in.
- 2:12:32There I was, my mates were going to watch a band and.
- 2:12:34The singer came out with a loaf of bread on his hand and I left
- 2:12:37because I thought, sounds about right.
- 2:12:41Yeah, yeah, I just went and drank cocktails and then.
- 2:12:46I can't remember William Regal that meet.
- 2:12:49And greet, all right. I was going to say just.
- 2:12:52I. Think I think a few of them.
- 2:12:54Tend to do like their. Little, it's a good a bit of
- 2:12:57book signings and stuff there, yeah.
- 2:12:59It's it's a good sized room. I had a weird interaction with
- 2:13:02him. Yes.
- 2:13:04Is it better than Uncle Ryan? 'S when he showed up wearing
- 2:13:06jobbers. If you don't listen to the
- 2:13:12dammit vacant episode where we listened.
- 2:13:14Where we interviewed Uncle Ryan, he told us how he went to
- 2:13:16Newcastle and like, went for a wee outside the car and the wee
- 2:13:20blew back on him. So he ended up wearing Jonpas.
- 2:13:22Like ladies Jonpas to meet William Ward.
- 2:13:26Yeah, it was some spare. Trousers in the boot and they
- 2:13:28were these basically like it's a great story, it's a good.
- 2:13:33Story I'll have to. Go through that tomorrow.
- 2:13:35It's. It lives on in.
- 2:13:36My head because I'm just like. Yep.
- 2:13:38That's the kind of thing don't expect.
- 2:13:40Yeah, it's very. Yeah, it's very Uncle Ryan.
- 2:13:45I mean I mean this. Time.
- 2:13:46There's times in work when. I'll flick through what I can
- 2:13:49listen to and I'll put Damn it Vacant on and I'll be convinced.
- 2:13:56By episode out and I realised I've.
- 2:13:59Put it on like oldest first. I'm thinking this is way way oh,
- 2:14:03never go to the big. Never start at the beginning.
- 2:14:05They're awful. I keep trying to remove them,
- 2:14:07but John's like leave them on. I'm like, but they're three
- 2:14:10hours of me. I was drunkenly rambling because

- 2:14:2620 minute ones of like OPW or if you've been to a show, well

- 2:14:38like. Anything goes and.
- 2:14:40When it's on your own you almost put on like a Radio 4 voice.
- 2:14:44Oh I write a script and everything mate, I don't care
- 2:14:46sometimes. Proper profession sometimes.
- 2:14:49See that? Yeah.

- 2:15:10I haven't got the card up at the moment because I'm too lazy, but
- 2:15:15Terry Ray's there, he's going to.
- 2:15:16Take it's it's. Like I said before, I've said
- 2:15:19many times Odyssey is is my favourite promotion just because
- 2:15:23it's it's family friendly, but it has stories that make sense
- 2:15:26and doesn't try and dumb it down.
- 2:15:29And it's got silent Mark who's incredibly funny again, Rick
- 2:15:32Mail enthusiast and it's just yeah, you've been the one that
- 2:15:37like the weirdest entrance I've ever seen of.
- 2:15:40Was it the? VC connection?
- 2:15:42Oh mate with the with the little connections.
- 2:15:45Yeah, but see that's. Like the 4th or 5th?
- 2:15:47One, when they first came out, they were heels and they got
- 2:15:49booed. Next time they came up with a
- 2:15:50bubble machine and that song and everyone, it's over as hell,
- 2:15:54like, and so try bubbles. Try Ryan.
- 2:15:59Yeah. Well.
- 2:16:00It's close to people. In Morecambe, get to being
- 2:16:01clean. To be fair, to be fair.
- 2:16:10I I was sat with. My mate that's from.
- 2:16:12Morecambe and it was his first ever time watching a wrestling
- 2:16:16show. And he did loosely say something
- 2:16:18like that to me. Oh, if you ever come when I
- 2:16:21introduce. You to all the characters, long
- 2:16:23coat pizza wheels. There's loads, yeah, that woman
- 2:16:27that brings a dog. It was I think I had a.
- 2:16:32Couple of characters in front of me where?
- 2:16:34Oh yeah, it's great. And they're all the same people.
- 2:16:37They used to be Johnny Side. There's nothing but characters
- 2:16:40at the. Scene There used to be used to
- 2:16:41be a guy I called Johnny Muscles.
- 2:16:43He's not been for a while. There was an old man who used to
- 2:16:45show up in really spangly like game show jackets.
- 2:16:47I used to not be there. I hope he's not dead.
- 2:16:50But yeah, it's just good. And it's when you go to the same
- 2:16:52place over and over and over again, you get to know these
- 2:16:54people. You don't speak to them because.
- 2:17:00But yeah, but no the the the show.
- 2:17:03Itself is. Brilliant, the people.
- 2:17:04Are brilliant. I'm only messing, you know?
- 2:17:06You know, I think of them sometimes.
- 2:17:08You're, you're the heal crowded. No, no it's not.
- 2:17:13Even that, like I said at the last show.
- 2:17:14They they did a, a table slice and chairs and for some reason
- 2:17:17they put our logo on one of the tables.
- 2:17:20I didn't ask them to and I genuinely couldn't stop
- 2:17:22laughing. And I went and asked like the
- 2:17:25Ethan, the owner was like, yeah, I just thought it was funny.
- 2:17:27And I was like, Oh no. It genuinely made me like I was
- 2:17:31because my nephew was like you. But you told them to do that,
- 2:17:33man, if I told them to do that, they wouldn't do it, right.
- 2:17:36I'm not that big headed to think that.
- 2:17:38Have you got their own podcast? When I saw that.
- 2:17:41Table come out, I took a photo and I.
- 2:17:43Sent it you, I thought see what was on the table.
- 2:17:46Yeah. But that's that's just the
- 2:17:50thing. You get to know these people.
- 2:17:51You get to talk to them. It's lovely.
- 2:17:52It's a great time. Yeah, you have fun.
- 2:17:55Plus you get to see a person using flip flops.
- 2:17:57And using using a petrol canister on someone's head being
- 2:18:01launched. Oh, Isaac.
- 2:18:04Win. Isaac win but Fox making a good
- 2:18:06weapon to be fair. Yeah, speak to any Indian
- 2:18:10mother. Yeah.
- 2:18:13Yeah. So that's that.
- 2:18:15Yeah, I've. Got nothing.
- 2:18:19Till February I've got two things back-to-back.
- 2:18:23I've got N Wrestling on the 20th of Feb which will be fun.
- 2:18:30It always is. And that one's in Leeds can only
- 2:18:33make it to the Leeds one because it's fucking impossible to drive
- 2:18:36to. Like why is it such an ass to
- 2:18:37drive to Newcastle? It is.
- 2:18:41It's such an ass. It's so out of the way it.
- 2:18:44Shouldn't be that difficult? I don't know.
- 2:18:48Why it's so? Hard.
- 2:18:48It's such a pain but anyway I love.
- 2:18:50Newcastle, but it's pain to drive there and then Burnley Pro
- 2:18:55Wrestling. I may be going along with the
- 2:18:57Hot Tag Foundation to Burnley Pro on the 21st of Feb and and
- 2:19:06Louis will be there as well in the hot Tag bell and everything.
- 2:19:10And I'm going to go help out at the stand with sign making and
- 2:19:16all that fun stuff. So currently that's where I will
- 2:19:20be. Obviously it's always like
- 2:19:22pencilled in it's there's a reason for the name.
- 2:19:27That's me on on the Sunday after more on Sunday the. 1st of
- 2:19:30February, Grand Pro doing their show up in Wigan Affton Rd.
- 2:19:36It's like, it's a really nice venue and yeah, it's a really
- 2:19:39good venue. It's like an old bingo dance
- 2:19:41hall but it's all here. Wigan.
- 2:19:44Wigan, Athan. Road in Wigan.
- 2:19:46Grand Pro 00. OK.

- 2:19:52doesn't want to take the kids. Well, we bought them chips.
- 2:19:56Last time they didn't eat them because.
- 2:19:57They don't eat chips. I was like, why did you let us
- 2:19:58buy you chips then? Because kids are idiots.
- 2:20:00But there isn't like several matches on it.
- 2:20:02They're great. There's a 5 track, 5 track, five
- 2:20:05way winner gets a shot at the title between Isaac N Tony

- 2:20:18money. And we've also got Sam Gradwell
- 2:20:21against Brady Phillips. And what was the other one?
- 2:20:25Oh, you're you're GPW British new champion Sonia Derson

- 2:20:33RPDRPD done a betray at the last and I'm waiting for that I'm.
- 2:20:38Waiting for that other shoe to drop.
- 2:20:40And it's never going to happen. But we've been hope.
- 2:20:44Oh, it might. So at Ground Pro, Yeah, he's
- 2:20:46done a. Betray and me and my brother.
- 2:20:48Were laughing and everyone else was booing and I was like

- 2:20:57wrestling show in there as well at some point because it seems
- 2:20:59about 1:00 every week at the moment.
- 2:21:01I mean, I've I'm just looking at my schedule.
