• 0:00
  Welcome to the Western show. You continue to talk like you're
• 0:05
  talking right now. You'll be history on this.
• 0:07
  Program like yeah cooler show. Nobody eats beef or only on a
• 0:13
  boat, man. That's a problem.
• 0:18
  Yokozuna just blew my mind and every time I see you old lady.
• 0:30
  I'm going. To keep her on those points.
• 0:37
  Up. Let's go.
• 0:37
  I've got under your skin. I'm ready.
• 0:39
  This episode now. Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, I
• 0:48
  almost did it 'cause I'm still stuck in in Rd. dog WrestleMania
• 0:52
  and our Road to WrestleMania. But we're off the road to
• 0:54
  WrestleMania. Welcome back to the Extra Cooler
• 0:56
  show. My name is Nick, otherwise known
• 0:58
  as Extra Cooler and Survivor Series team is back in action.
• 1:02
  Before I give you all the, the, the good stuff, or not really
• 1:05
  the good stuff, the the stuff I have to say every week.
• 1:08
  Thank you, Matt for holding it down with your, your bonus
• 1:11
  episode, if you will. Excellent job recapping
• 1:14
  WrestleMania and everything that happened afterwards.
• 1:17
  I I find it a challenge, yet really fun to do solo episodes
• 1:22
  every once in a while. It's been it was a long time
• 1:25
  since we had talked about current day of wrestling.
• 1:29
  It was the full year before. It was the last time that we
• 1:32
  talked about anything. It was rather than 41.
• 1:35
  I think part of that is our our beautiful Discord channel that
• 1:39
  yeah, I think. You're right.
• 1:40
  I think you are totally right. But I had a blast.
• 1:43
  I have some housekeeping. I didn't think I was gonna, but
• 1:46
  I've got some housekeeping, so whenever you're ready, we can
• 1:48
  jump right in. Yeah, so as usual, you can find
• 1:51
  us on Instagram at Extra Cooler, at the Extra Cooler show.
• 1:55
  And like I said, join her at Discord.
• 1:57
  I would love to shout someone out that is not in the Discord
• 2:00
  and give them a personal invite like we did recently because
• 2:05
  welcome, welcome aboard. But like I said, thank you, Matt
• 2:07
  for holding it down. I have a little housekeeping,
• 2:11
  and it's bizarre housekeeping that I haven't texted you guys.
• 2:15
  My family, we're in that, that weird stage, right, where like,
• 2:20
  you know, the boys have baseball practice.
• 2:22
  We get home. We struggle to find something to
• 2:24
  watch as a family these days. We stumbled on the new season of
• 2:30
  American Gladiators. It is not good, but it's not
• 2:36
  terrible. But it's not terrible.
• 2:38
  What's it on? I didn't even know it was a.
• 2:39
  Thing it's on Amazon. OK, same music.
• 2:43
  Please tell me. Yes.
• 2:44
  No, it's not the same music, but they do have all the same
• 2:47
  events, kind of. Like ball cannon?
• 2:50
  Yeah, not like we're we're not very far, but there's a lot of
• 2:54
  like, former wrestling talents on it, like Oogs is in it.
• 2:58
  Orla. Wardlow's in it.
• 3:01
  There's a bunch of other people on it that like you would
• 3:03
  recognize. As gladiators or.
• 3:05
  They are the they are the gladiators.
• 3:07
  They all have like corny names. Is there a Malibu?
• 3:11
  There is no Malibu. But it's cool they do like they
• 3:14
  frequently acknowledge the past seasons and like show you little
• 3:20
  clips of the past seasons from the 80s.
• 3:23
  Like there's one girl on it who her her dad tried out and didn't
• 3:27
  get on. So she's like that this is a
• 3:30
  redemption for him. She's like, it's stupid.
• 3:33
  It's so stupid. But like I tried to.
• 3:35
  Explain it to. The boys like we used to watch
• 3:38
  this right after WWF Superstars, like I watched this on Saturday
• 3:42
  mornings right after wrestling because you.
• 3:44
  Needed a Segway. Like.
• 3:46
  Yeah, you needed to calm down. Yeah, you need exactly, but it
• 3:50
  it's really corny. The Miz hosts it and I don't
• 3:53
  know it's it's stupid that I found myself watching it since
• 3:56
  semi entertained. My son and I watched like the
• 4:00
  first episode and he was super into it for like the first, I
• 4:03
  don't know, 20 minutes. And then he was like, all right,
• 4:06
  I'm going to go in the other. They they, they screwed up.
• 4:10
  It's like definitely like standard hour long show that
• 4:13
  after commercials is condensed down to 45 minutes.
• 4:17
  Like got to hit those that kid audience, man.
• 4:19
  Condense it a little bit. Like there's too much nonsense
• 4:22
  in there. He did not make it to the
• 4:25
  Eliminator, the Gauntlet, whatever.
• 4:27
  Yeah. He didn't make it that far and
• 4:29
  nor did I because shortly after he left I was like, I'm going to
• 4:31
  shut this off now. Yeah, we yeah, like I said, we
• 4:33
  didn't make it through the 3rd episode yet, but you know, the
• 4:36
  fact that I found my self watching American Gladiators
• 4:39
  kind of cool. IN202026 Yeah.
• 4:41
  Sport was the best. How's the guy get the bullseye.
• 4:44
  Yeah, bullseye over the guy. Yeah, they didn't bring it back
• 4:47
  earlier. I mean with like.
• 4:48
  They did, they tried to, they tried to, but I think they like
• 4:52
  didn't follow the same format. Gotcha.
• 4:55
  And you know, did that weird like early 2000s, mid 2000.
• 4:59
  They aim. They aim for millennials and
• 5:01
  their kids. And they found.
• 5:02
  The target. They found the target.
• 5:04
  Yep. All right, Matt.
• 5:05
  Sorry, housekeeping time well. Enough is enough, and it's time
• 5:10
  for housekeeping. We probably could have played
• 5:14
  the drop a little bit earlier, but that's OK.
• 5:16
  I am. I owe an apology.
• 5:19
  I said that Chad McAfee was actually given to us glorious
• 5:26
  Discord channel. I was I thought it was a
• 5:29
  brochure. I was incorrect and it was the
• 5:33
  master for masterful. So I really screwed that up.
• 5:39
  I apologized in the Discord almost immediately as somebody
• 5:42
  called me out on, I think it was brochure came out and was like,
• 5:45
  no, it wasn't me, man. I.
• 5:48
  Went back and I found out who it was and I apologize.
• 5:53
  I give you all the credit for the glorious nickname of Shat
• 5:57
  McAfee. So enjoy that.
• 5:58
  I thought it was pure genius. Obviously you heard me say it a
• 6:01
  lot last week. The only other thing that I kind
• 6:05
  of teased last week was Hogan Doc feelings.
• 6:07
  And I did finish Hogan and I was feeling really good about it
• 6:13
  through three episodes. And then like the 4th episode
• 6:16
  kind of threw me off a little bit.
• 6:18
  And Nick shared his full breakdown in in the Discord.
• 6:21
  I kind of followed up with that stuff too, and I felt like it
• 6:26
  probably needed to end sad. It kind of needed that like
• 6:30
  punch just based on the man's life.
• 6:33
  But this took a turn that I kind.
• 6:35
  Of it's similar to like the Michael, I didn't see the movie
• 6:37
  or the documentary, but the Michael Jackson movie is like,
• 6:40
  you know, it's doing somewhat well, but it's clearly like just
• 6:43
  a gloss over job and like. So I think I think that's the
• 6:47
  biggest piece of it. They really skated around the
• 6:51
  true and what the what the the controversy around Hogan.
• 6:57
  They kind of made it feel like it was just political and it's
• 7:01
  not. Just political.
• 7:02
  No, they I think maybe once. Lines and the racist things that
• 7:07
  he came out and saying and whether it was on a sex tape or
• 7:11
  not, it was still public eye and there were only things that he
• 7:14
  said too. And they just never explained
• 7:17
  what the big deal about the sex tape was and they just skated
• 7:22
  around it. And I feel like they owed it to
• 7:25
  the audience, audience. And keep in mind, it's not for
• 7:27
  us, Marx, it's not for us. It's for the guy.
• 7:30
  That's like, shit, a Hulk Hogan documentary, I'll watch this.
• 7:33
  Hey, wife, come sit with me and let's watch this together.
• 7:35
  Like it's for them, it's not for us.
• 7:37
  And that's something that you constantly need to think about.
• 7:40
  Same with the Vince documentary. It's same format, same kind of
• 7:42
  situation. And they skated around some
• 7:45
  things with Vince and they did it again here too.
• 7:47
  And I, I enjoyed it. At the end of the day, I liked
• 7:50
  it and understanding that it's flawed, but the 4th episode was
• 7:54
  just like aggravating to watch. Yeah, I mean, it's it it like
• 7:58
  like you said, they just, they barely touched the surface.
• 8:02
  Like I think they mentioned racial slur once.
• 8:05
  I didn't hear it. Someone on our Discord said that
• 8:08
  they said it. I didn't even hear them
• 8:10
  referred. Racial slur.
• 8:12
  Like on the Yeah, but I will tell you they did an excellent
• 8:16
  job. Like you said, Matt, they they
• 8:19
  this is meant for like the old school fan that is no longer a
• 8:23
  fan of wrestling. That first episode drew me in
• 8:27
  hook, line and sinker. There is I've said it multiple
• 8:29
  times on discord, multiple different days.
• 8:32
  The first episode is filled with like old, old footage before
• 8:37
  real American. Like it's it's that to me is
• 8:41
  worth the watch. I would give the whole thing
• 8:44
  maybe 3 cans in the cooler. It's a little long.
• 8:47
  It's. Such a shame though, like it is
• 8:49
  classic this day and age, you know, whitewash history.
• 8:51
  Like they would let us know the real history.
• 8:54
  Yes, we're OK. It's like, don't make fun of
• 8:56
  American. Heroes.
• 8:57
  Well, like, well, I think because Hogan being interviewed
• 9:00
  throughout the documentary is probably the main reason why is
• 9:03
  not yes. They also don't talk about other
• 9:06
  wives, they don't talk about his daughter.
• 9:08
  Like there's so much. She's not mentioned like in
• 9:11
  present day beyond the VH1 show at all.
• 9:14
  Yeah, they didn't talk about the reality show much of anything.
• 9:17
  Like they alluded to it, but they never really like, dove
• 9:20
  into it. There was so much more.
• 9:22
  It's only it's 4 episodes. Yes, yeah, you can do more.
• 9:25
  I mean you do like 10 on this. Yeah, like, yeah.
• 9:28
  Yes, and I'd love the formal. Appetite for that, but.
• 9:31
  I love like the the Jordan dock is really what set this off
• 9:34
  right? And then you get the the
• 9:35
  Undertaker dock, WW ES version of that was phenomenal.
• 9:40
  Like the Vince dock was really good too, for what it was worth.
• 9:43
  But it has the same feelings of like, right.
• 9:46
  I don't want to call it a puff piece because it wasn't that,
• 9:48
  but it also didn't tell the whole truth.
• 9:51
  And I think that was really the. There wasn't enough input from
• 9:55
  like other wrestling people and what's there.
• 9:57
  Funny is that you get you hear that there was a lot of people
• 10:02
  that were interviewed and just ended up on the cutting room
• 10:05
  floor. Apparently Kevin Nash was
• 10:07
  interviewed for like 4 or five hours something.
• 10:09
  Like he's barely in. And he's in there for like 30
• 10:12
  seconds and. That must be so frustrating.
• 10:15
  Like that happens in a lot of these kind of things, but.
• 10:18
  As his interviews, not even in it, yeah.
• 10:21
  Kazim Fabamuwe, I, I jacked up his name.
• 10:24
  I apologize, but Kazim is on is was interviewed for it.
• 10:27
  He's on the masked man, the Ringer.
• 10:28
  He's on 97 in New York now, huge Knicks fan.
• 10:34
  But Kaz was talking about how he was found out on WrestleMania
• 10:38
  weekend that he didn't make the cut.
• 10:40
  But he also said it makes sense because of the things that he
• 10:42
  was talking about were as a as a African American man and his
• 10:47
  feelings towards Hulk Hogan, and those didn't make the the cut.
• 10:50
  Yeah, Ouch, Ouch. That's that's bad.
• 10:53
  So, but yeah, Kaz is always an awesome listen.
• 10:57
  I've talked about him talking on this episode on on this show
• 11:00
  before. Three cans in the cooler.
• 11:03
  Is that all housekeeping? Respectable and yes.
• 11:07
  It's probably being generous. But yeah, Chad McAfee and Hulk
• 11:11
  Hogan. Excellent, excellent.
• 11:15
  All right here, so we gave you a little appetizer could add a
• 11:19
  whole episode about Hogan, but that's not the wrestler we're
• 11:21
  going to cover in depth year and actually there's not one
• 11:24
  particular episode or match that we're going to cover because it
• 11:29
  is none other than Mikey were great maggles birthday.
• 11:34
  So make sure you go onto a discord wish him a happy
• 11:37
  birthday. But this man, when we throw out
• 11:40
  our group text, which is always initiated by me at 7:00 in the
• 11:44
  morning because I know that's. What Set your watch to it.
• 11:49
  Yeah, I, I try to wait till 7:00.
• 11:51
  I'm going to get these guys while they're shaving all.
• 11:55
  Three of them. He's all in the shaves, isn't
• 11:58
  it? Shave my neck.
• 12:01
  Yeah, we like neckbeards. Yeah, no, no neckbeards here.
• 12:04
  All right, so when when I text these guys at 7:00 in the
• 12:11
  morning, when I can catch them before they start their work day
• 12:13
  and I'm on my road to work, we throw out ideas and I would say.
• 12:19
  You talked texting this whole. Time he's going to say man, I'm
• 12:22
  it makes so much more sense that.
• 12:23
  Changes everything in my head. Like that, yes, me too.
• 12:26
  He's like quite knuckling the steering wheel being like text
• 12:29
  these sons of bitches. I'm in live usually.
• 12:31
  The first text is before I pull out of my garage and then.
• 12:36
  But anyway, is it when I am, when we're looking for the
• 12:39
  brainstorm and the ideas to start happening, I would say
• 12:43
  about 6 out of 10 times Mikey Workrate pitches a draft.
• 12:50
  So here we are. That's accurate.
• 12:51
  You, you've got it, Mikey Workrate.
• 12:54
  This is the Mikey Workrate draft and we are hosting it.
• 12:58
  We are. We are having 4 rounds on this
• 13:02
  episode and the criteria goes as follows.
• 13:06
  And you can draft any of these four different pieces at any
• 13:13
  point. Positions.
• 13:16
  Positions. Yeah, there you go.
• 13:17
  Yeah. Think of it.
• 13:18
  Anybody that's listening to this probably hat knows or plays in a
• 13:22
  fantasy league. Consider each one like a
• 13:24
  position. All right, so position number
• 13:27
  one is to draft a video game wrestler of your choice, any
• 13:33
  video game wrestler. We're we're leaving out the two
• 13:36
  KS because we're we're old. It's all too early.
• 13:41
  They're too realistic, right? If you've been you've been
• 13:44
  listening to the show obviously for quite some time, you know
• 13:47
  that Mikey Workrate's favorite wrestler is Mr. Perfect, so you
• 13:50
  also have to draft a Mr. Perfect match.
• 13:54
  You also know on top of loving drafts, Mikey Workrate also
• 13:58
  loves a battle Royale, so you have to draft either a battle
• 14:04
  Royale match or a battle Royale winner and last the 4th.
• 14:08
  The 4th category is something that Mike you were great is
• 14:12
  always also suggesting he'll always throw out that I would
• 14:16
  love to cover WrestleMania the album.
• 14:19
  So wow, you have to draft a song from WrestleMania the album and
• 14:24
  but the main titles are excluded.
• 14:27
  It has to be, it has to be one of the superstars singles from
• 14:34
  WrestleMania to the album, if that makes sense.
• 14:37
  If you've heard the album, you know you know what I'm talking.
• 14:39
  About why in the name of God is it talking about Survivor Series
• 14:42
  in the WrestleMania song? Why God?
• 14:44
  Why? It.
• 14:45
  Will never cover that song, but it has to be said.
• 14:49
  So before we get things underway, we we have to do what
• 14:54
  every appropriate draft would do and we're going to spin the
• 14:58
  wheel of names and we are going to determine the draft.
• 15:02
  Order. These.
• 15:03
  Graphics are incredible, I wish you guys could see it at home.
• 15:05
  There's a spinning wheel like Wheel of Fortune.
• 15:08
  This is. So great.
• 15:12
  Prime Prime. I'm stealing picks right now, I
• 15:16
  love it. So it is a snake draft.
• 15:18
  Matt gets the first pick of this draft.
• 15:21
  We're not. We're not being that kind to
• 15:23
  like you work right on his birthday.
• 15:25
  When Jim gets the second pick, he'll probably screw this up
• 15:29
  somewhere along the way. Can I draft a kicker and you get
• 15:33
  rid of? Him all right and all right, I
• 15:37
  will take the last pick. Mike, you've got the 4th pick.
• 15:40
  I mean the third pick. I've got the 4th pick all.
• 15:42
  Right. All right, all right, Happy
• 15:45
  Olympic and we are back. All right, So Matthew, with the
• 15:52
  first pick in the Mikey Workrate draft, who would you like to
• 15:57
  suggest select? All right.
• 16:00
  I feel like there is 4 categories, but one of them is
• 16:06
  one that like is higher than the rest.
• 16:10
  I feel like there's one that like we have to go over heavy
• 16:13
  hitters and you have to go and start talking about the Mr.
• 16:19
  Perfect match. I'm going, Mr. I was.
• 16:22
  My heart was in my, you know, my throat.
• 16:24
  There, I'm going summer slam 19910.
• 16:28
  Man. Mr. Perfect versus Bret Hart.
• 16:32
  That is the my. You.
• 16:33
  Know that's the kudos. You number.
• 16:35
  One that was going to be my number one pick as.
• 16:38
  Well, same. Me too.
• 16:39
  OK. All right.
• 16:40
  I feel like it was completely necessary to get that off the
• 16:43
  board right away to snipe anybody and everybody that I
• 16:47
  could. So, yeah, Mr. Perfect.
• 16:50
  Well, you just won the draft, I mean.
• 16:54
  It's one of those matches. That.
• 16:56
  I know exactly where I was. I could still see watching it in
• 16:58
  my head and being a Bret Hart fan, like at the time, it was
• 17:02
  monumental. Oh my God.
• 17:03
  Monumental. You know, it's actually
• 17:05
  appropriate that Matt gets to pick this.
• 17:07
  Actually, you know what? He should be stripped of this
• 17:09
  pick because we covered SummerSlam 1991.
• 17:13
  It is the infamous Lost episode. No, I'm kidding you.
• 17:17
  You can have this beauty. We did record this episode.
• 17:20
  We might have to go back to 91. I think we recorded it like our
• 17:23
  first or second summer of the show, I'm pretty sure.
• 17:26
  It was the first summer. It was the first.
• 17:28
  It was the first summer. It was like episode 17 because.
• 17:31
  Oh my God. 17/18/19 in that range and I recorded it.
• 17:37
  I took it off of my laptop and I put it on the external hard
• 17:41
  drive and then I went to go reformat the hard drive and I
• 17:45
  thought I could separate it and use some of this here and then
• 17:49
  use the other for my Mac time machine.
• 17:51
  But instead of doing that, it reformatted the entire thing and
• 17:54
  I lost the unreleased episode. I was so upset and and.
• 17:59
  Let me tell you this man, he won't tell you on here, but this
• 18:03
  man went like through hell and back to try and recover this
• 18:07
  episode because Matt does not like to let things go or or does
• 18:12
  not like to lose this type of thing.
• 18:15
  He is so diligent with everything that he does.
• 18:17
  That's why we like to bust your chops out.
• 18:20
  Every every night he searches the dark web for it I.
• 18:23
  Was going to say yeah, he's definitely been.
• 18:24
  I know I heard about him on the dark web.
• 18:27
  I hate letting people down, too. I think that's the, yeah.
• 18:31
  I like the idea that this is the sensation of the dark web though
• 18:33
  to you get anything you want, even that lost extra cooler
• 18:37
  episode. Super Slam 1991.
• 18:40
  I mean, but for real though this is it's an all time banger.
• 18:44
  All right, Jim, you're up with the second pick.
• 18:46
  Where are you going to go? Feel like we're playing Jeopardy
• 18:49
  in a way. Yeah, I was so nervous that Matt
• 18:53
  was going to take my pick, but or, or the person ahead of me
• 18:56
  wouldn't take my pick. But with the fact that it was
• 18:59
  Matt there, I felt pretty secure.
• 19:01
  And I'm see, I'm going to WrestleMania, the album.
• 19:05
  That's the Oh yeah, here we go. And I'm going to take the Bret
• 19:09
  Hart, Bret Hart's entry on that album.
• 19:13
  There's never been a right time to say goodbye.
• 19:15
  Here it is. There hasn't and never will be.
• 19:17
  No, there never will be so. We've covered this album 2 songs
• 19:21
  from this album already, the Macho Man song and the Hacksaw
• 19:24
  Jim Duggan song. This this is a song.
• 19:35
  It is to me. I said it before we hit record.
• 19:38
  It reminds me of something from like a like a late 80s sitcom
• 19:43
  full House era. Yeah, this is like a sad montage
• 19:46
  during the episode. You know, like Kimmy Gibbler
• 19:49
  breaks up with her boyfriend or something like that, right?
• 19:52
  But like, listen to the lyrics, okay, I've got so many questions
• 19:55
  when I went through and listened to these songs that he's fire
• 19:58
  away. This man is married.
• 20:01
  What did he do, you think? What did his wife have to say?
• 20:04
  Yeah. Do you think he, like, played it
• 20:06
  like on a tape in the car for her, like listening to this
• 20:09
  babe? And she's like what the fuck?
• 20:11
  What are we? Doing yeah, we get a divorce.
• 20:14
  Are you doing the Watusi with somebody I don't know?
• 20:17
  Oh wait. Speaking of, there it is, of
• 20:21
  course. That's the best part.
• 20:33
  Oh my God, it's so bad. Can we get one more course here?
• 20:38
  Let's talk through it here. Yeah.
• 20:41
  I love his Canadian accent. Comes out.
• 20:43
  Go ahead. Man, unfortunately.
• 20:45
  I can't pass parts you got to live through.
• 20:48
  Hold on, you made a goddamn promise, Jim, that you're going
• 20:50
  to have your hair like bright hearts right now.
• 20:53
  Like swinging it back and forth. No.
• 20:55
  Did I actually was on your demo tapes?
• 20:59
  If you want to hear me here I go.
• 21:01
  Let me try it again here here ready and never was away and
• 21:09
  you're going to say raise your heads makes you cry today every
• 21:14
  mini ray time to say goodbye to say goodbye.
• 21:20
  Hey goodbye. I I feel like we need to end the
• 21:31
  episode. Yeah, goodnight.
• 21:34
  Oh God. All right, where do I go?
• 21:36
  You know, I was this morning I was like, oh, I should like
• 21:39
  Click to my head. I was like I should sing the
• 21:40
  chorus as Stu. So I'm like practicing in my
• 21:42
  room. I'm the only one home.
• 21:43
  My dogs. I have a couple of Boston
• 21:46
  terriers and one was on the bed while I was doing this and like
• 21:49
  they're kind of goggled eyed creatures as to being with.
• 21:52
  But I started singing in that voice and the dog I sort of like
• 21:54
  snapped its head at me and it's like, is he having a stroke or
• 21:58
  something? What do you mean you were
• 22:05
  singing? Yeah, no, I apologize for
• 22:08
  breaking the 4th wall there. All right, Michael, your first
• 22:14
  pick in the Michael Work Right draft.
• 22:19
  I don't even know if I'm ready for this.
• 22:22
  Oh, classy. He's so classy.
• 22:24
  He's going to take 15 minutes, so might as well start talking
• 22:26
  about something else. Right now, I've been in fantasy
• 22:28
  sports leagues with this man for almost over 20 years.
• 22:32
  This is how it goes guys. You only came up with the
• 22:34
  categories. You came up with the categories.
• 22:40
  I have to make sure I'm taking the right pick all right for the
• 22:44
  right time. Like there's money on the line.
• 22:47
  Yeah, no, I was going to say, you know, it's not for money.
• 22:51
  I'm kidding for my first pick, Yeah, yes.
• 22:58
  Oh, we didn't do what's in the cooler.
• 22:59
  We're going to have to do it after the first round.
• 23:01
  Thank you. For my first pick, I choose
• 23:07
  Video Game Wrestler. Oh yeah, this is appropriate.
• 23:10
  This man will whoop your ass in any video game.
• 23:15
  I I lived with him. I've I've rarely beaten him.
• 23:18
  When you get that one win out of fifty tries, it feels like
• 23:21
  winning the Super Bowl. It really does.
• 23:23
  Yeah, I'm glad I could help you with that.
• 23:26
  What do? You have a good feeling, right?
• 23:27
  There God forbid I get to use the yellow controller or
• 23:30
  anything. What do you think my sweat pours
• 23:34
  into it? Fastest trigger finger in the
• 23:39
  West man. That's that's right, you know I
• 23:42
  do. I know how I do.
• 23:44
  What do you got? I choose ho from No Mercy ho.
• 23:52
  I choose ho. You have to pay $500,000 in the
• 23:59
  game to buy. It is that true?
• 24:03
  Yeah. Yes.
• 24:04
  I looked it up. What, Like what?
• 24:07
  I unlocked those characters, What was the deal with them?
• 24:11
  I don't recall unlocking players in No Mercy, Am I getting that?
• 24:15
  You have to buy them or buy things like you bought like the
• 24:20
  big stone cold can you bought rocks like Bullhead thing.
• 24:26
  With money that you earned in the game.
• 24:29
  You know, for some reason I this I do not recall.
• 24:32
  I tapped out at I did not buy this game.
• 24:34
  I had WrestleMania 2000. That was my last of like the THQ
• 24:39
  games. I guess they are.
• 24:39
  Right, I mean, all right, so this gives us a good chance to
• 24:42
  talk about there there's essentially the core 4, right?
• 24:45
  It was and WCWNWO World Tour, then WCWNWO Revenge, which so
• 24:53
  like before I get to the fine, then it was WrestleMania 2000,
• 24:57
  then No Mercy. But with those WCW games, we
• 25:00
  were wrestling fans and like, I'm sorry, Matt, to go off on
• 25:04
  this, 'cause, you know, we were in high school when this came
• 25:08
  out and we would play these games, but we weren't like All
• 25:12
  In on WCW. No, it's just the the controls
• 25:14
  were so good. The IT the controls are
• 25:17
  absolutely incredible. It's so easy to pick up this
• 25:20
  game. I remember like my go.
• 25:23
  To guys you just like start jackknifing.
• 25:26
  People, yes, it's. I mean these are like the core 4
• 25:29
  of wrestling video games in my opinion.
• 25:32
  Yeah, no doubt. I I love these games, especially
• 25:34
  even the first one, which is like, it's like the prototype.
• 25:38
  It's like a little janky and it's got random ass guys in
• 25:41
  there too, even beyond WCW. But it was so much fun.
• 25:44
  It was so much fun to. Play.
• 25:45
  It's like they couldn't fill a roster or something.
• 25:47
  Yeah, yeah. It's got all kinds of, I think
• 25:49
  there's some of them are like legit like we used to make in
• 25:51
  front of like the law. But I think that's like based in
• 25:53
  reality somewhere. Yep.
• 25:54
  Yep, they were like kind of knock offs and then there was
• 25:56
  Japan wrestlers that were knocked off and yeah, no
• 26:00
  surprise. I I actually was in the same
• 26:02
  boat as Jim here I had WrestleMania 2000 and and WCWNWO
• 26:08
  Revenge. That was revenge.
• 26:10
  Yeah, that was that was the breakout star, that one.
• 26:12
  That was the that. Was the hell out of.
• 26:15
  Revenge. All the names of the guys.
• 26:17
  The rosters were huge and it was four players, so yeah, yeah, of
• 26:21
  course. Good pick ho.
• 26:23
  Ho finally get to go. Did she come down to Godfather's
• 26:27
  music? Yes, I believe she does.
• 26:30
  That was also a big thing, the fact that the music was Yeah,
• 26:33
  no. Yeah, that was huge.
• 26:36
  Revenge didn't have that. No it had like 2 songs.
• 26:39
  It was just back and forth. Man, I kind.
• 26:43
  Of feel on the he's got the 2 picks now.
• 26:45
  It's snake style. I'm going to do, I'm going to do
• 26:48
  it. I'm going to be the first one to
• 26:50
  draft my battle Royale or winner, and I'm not picking a
• 26:54
  winner. I went back, I looked at battle
• 26:58
  royales and I've realized we've covered a few of them and I'm
• 27:03
  going to go with one that we covered.
• 27:05
  And I think it's as I look through lists, I think it's my
• 27:08
  favorite battle royal and it's. Good ones.
• 27:12
  There are. Is he going gimmick battle?
• 27:14
  Roy No, I'm not going. Gimmick battle Roy.
• 27:16
  I'm going. W.
• 27:17
  The Battle Royale from Raw 1993, the the winners face off for the
• 27:26
  Intercontinental title and it's it's Rick Martel and Razor.
• 27:30
  I remember as a kid, and I said this in the episode that we
• 27:33
  covered, and I'll say it again, I think it's such a genius idea
• 27:38
  and an underrated and under used idea to have the two final
• 27:42
  participants, the two remaining guys face off the following week
• 27:47
  in a match like. Such anticipation.
• 27:51
  It it to me, I think it's so great.
• 27:53
  I don't know why they I don't even know if they ever used it
• 27:56
  again. I don't know, but it was in like
• 27:59
  the late summer maybe or early September somewhere in the maybe
• 28:02
  in the fall after the US Open or something.
• 28:05
  Cuz it always get preempted for that, right?
• 28:07
  But yeah, I remember we were all in on this at the time and it's
• 28:10
  still, it's a fun rumble. It's got some jabronis in there
• 28:12
  like plenty. The goon I think is in there,
• 28:14
  right? But it's like it, it's, it's
• 28:17
  huge for Razor, you know, Mass picks up the title.
• 28:20
  It starts as I see belt run which is most known for in WF.
• 28:25
  All right, so with my next pick, my second pick.
• 28:28
  Where'd you go there? We covered that on episode 15.
• 28:33
  Very early. All the way back on June 3rd,
• 28:36
  2021. We were babies.
• 28:40
  Babies, June. 3rd That is almost five years, like it's a month
• 28:46
  shy of five years as we record this I.
• 28:48
  Can't believe one of you guys didn't do the Taco Razar.
• 28:50
  They're babies. Berbers.
• 28:52
  They're babies. They're Berbers.
• 28:55
  There you go. Sorry, that was the next fantasy
• 28:57
  baseball team name in like 2008. Power.
• 29:01
  Yeah. All right, so all right, so I'm
• 29:03
  not allowed to cover to pick Macho Man here because we've
• 29:07
  covered it, right? We didn't establish that.
• 29:10
  OK, we we've. Macho we've.
• 29:13
  Determined that speaking from the heart is off the table as
• 29:16
  well, because we did a full episode on that and tortured
• 29:19
  Matt once. Then we came back and tortured
• 29:22
  Matt again with Hacksaw Jim Duggan's song.
• 29:25
  When, You know, when he was feeling a little apprehensive.
• 29:29
  Hacksaw Jim Duggan who eats people.
• 29:32
  Up up. And Jim threw some disrespect on
• 29:35
  that episode. He didn't.
• 29:36
  Even show up. Like I'm not covering this idiot
• 29:42
  song. I wish I did that.
• 29:44
  I really wish I did. I don't know what.
• 29:46
  Happened you want to do it again?
• 29:47
  I'll be happy to show up this. Time 200 plus episodes in and
• 29:51
  Matt hates that episode so. That is, that is the one that
• 29:55
  is. That one disappeared 2 minutes
• 29:56
  long. I looked at it, it's only. 32
• 29:58
  minutes. When did we drop that?
• 30:01
  Do you remember the month? Don't go look it up.
• 30:04
  I definitely have it in my notes.
• 30:05
  Hang on. So that was episode 151.
• 30:08
  It was back, saw Jim Duggan beats people up and it was may
• 30:12
  the. Name of the episode?
• 30:13
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. With multiple beats.
• 30:16
  May 22nd, 2024. So that that checks out.
• 30:20
  This time of year is really tough for us, whether it's kids
• 30:22
  sports, end of the school year, just things popping up left and
• 30:26
  right like we're just we are fried guys like we are.
• 30:30
  We are living the life of waiting for that summer vacation
• 30:33
  to hit. But anyway, back to my pick I am
• 30:37
  going with. I got to take it while I can.
• 30:39
  It's out there. The Nasty Boys stop.
• 30:43
  This is underrated song. That guitar.
• 30:52
  That's like nice bass. Cowbell this song.
• 30:55
  Mind you, we've we've referenced this.
• 30:57
  Simon Cowell helped produce it and this song is a blatant RIP
• 31:02
  off of Janet Jackson's Nasty which came out like 7 years
• 31:06
  later and that is the most Vince McMahon WWF thing that could
• 31:11
  ever happen. The Brett song, the beginning of
• 31:15
  it, if you listen to it again, it has the RIP off of the steel
• 31:17
  opera song too. So there's a lot of RIP off song
• 31:19
  and song. The whole album is really
• 31:22
  pathetic when you think about it.
• 31:24
  Like, you look at that cover, right?
• 31:26
  It's a classic photo and Undertaker is photoshopped in it
• 31:31
  because he is definitely like freshly baby faced now all of a
• 31:34
  sudden when it came out. Like the fact that the Nasty
• 31:36
  Boys are the best tag team you can get in on this album.
• 31:42
  I would do you think like Cowell took a look at the roster and
• 31:44
  was like Nasty Boys? I can work with that.
• 31:46
  Yeah, it. Was the best part.
• 31:54
  I mean, it's got a Heenan drop in it too, so.
• 31:58
  You think Cowell ever expected them to sing it all?
• 32:00
  Or there's wait, these guys are just yelling.
• 32:03
  That's. All any of the.
• 32:05
  Songs are, yeah, none of them actually all.
• 32:08
  Are dude maybe Tatanka? All right, Mike, you're up.
• 32:16
  You're on the clock. That was such low effort music
• 32:19
  in the background. Oh yeah, it's.
• 32:21
  Terrible. The whole album's awful.
• 32:25
  So for my second pick, I'm going to go with my favorite wrestler,
• 32:32
  one of his matches that be Mr. Perfect versus Ric Flair and a
• 32:38
  Loser Leaves Town match on Monday Night Raw in early 1993.
• 32:45
  I like it. That was in my notes.
• 32:46
  That was my second choice for for this match.
• 32:50
  The big perfect matches are or off the table.
• 32:54
  Yeah, those are the big 2, I think.
• 32:57
  Yeah. At least there's a lot of good
• 32:59
  ones. There's a lot of good ones,
• 33:00
  yeah, but those are the they're. Tough, but I think that I think
• 33:04
  that that the fact that we're saying that just goes to show
• 33:08
  how underrated and under appreciated Kurt Henning and Mr.
• 33:12
  Perfect were or or or used. Not around a long time too,
• 33:18
  especially that run in WF at least.
• 33:21
  Matt, what were you going to say?
• 33:22
  Have we ever really given Mr. Perfect his Just do and do an
• 33:26
  entire like Mr. Perfect episode? Have we gotten there yet?
• 33:29
  Not a Mr. Perfect episode, but didn't we do him?
• 33:32
  Did he face Hogan? Yeah, he.
• 33:35
  Was with. He was with the genius.
• 33:37
  Sorry, nightmare event. Did you take the hammer to the
• 33:39
  belt? Remember.
• 33:40
  Yes, at the end and he breaks it up and the rumors are that that
• 33:43
  belt eventually became the hardcore title.
• 33:48
  But I I just man, while you drop that match, it's he's such an
• 33:54
  underrated talent. Originally when we pitched this
• 33:57
  draft, I had said to you guys like a Mr. perfect type talent
• 34:02
  and he falls in that category of like the boss man's and Jake,
• 34:08
  you know, guys that didn't hold the major title.
• 34:10
  And I guess you could throw Piper in there, but Piper might
• 34:12
  be a little bit bigger. Razor, we just.
• 34:15
  Razor, you know, like these guys are so important and important
• 34:20
  to our childhood, especially in watching wrestling.
• 34:23
  So Mr. Perfect for us to I think set the bar and possibly high
• 34:27
  for the intercontinental belt. He yes, he's like he is being
• 34:32
  proven. He is.
• 34:33
  Yes, exactly. He it's perfect on him.
• 34:35
  Well, I didn't even mean to. That's right.
• 34:37
  No pun intended. Really.
• 34:38
  No. But both of these matches, like
• 34:41
  the one that you you picked Matt, that I mean, like Jim, I
• 34:44
  was with you when we watched that match and that that match
• 34:47
  is damn near perfect. We kind of glossed over that,
• 34:51
  but. Yeah, I think coming into like
• 34:54
  more like you as a fan that didn't understand like the
• 34:58
  nuances of wrestling at that time, like you're watching a Mr.
• 35:01
  Perfect match and you're being entertained because of the
• 35:03
  worker he is right. And it's maybe your first
• 35:06
  experience as a fed head with that kind of wrestling.
• 35:09
  Maybe see it with the Heart Foundation or The Rockers or
• 35:11
  something like that, but or Macho Man.
• 35:14
  But Perfect was is next level, right?
• 35:17
  Yes. He made everybody he faced look
• 35:19
  like 1,000,000 bucks. Oh yeah.
• 35:21
  And he could sell like no other. The gum.
• 35:26
  Yeah, the towel he's. Perfect the music.
• 35:28
  The music's so good. Yep, the vignettes.
• 35:32
  With the pencil, I throw my pencil in the air.
• 35:34
  I catch it. Yeah.
• 35:37
  McAfee chat. McAfee was doing that when he
• 35:39
  was on commissary as well. Yep.
• 35:42
  Influenced. Influence.
• 35:43
  That's my boy too. Jim, you're up with your second
• 35:47
  pick. All right, I feel pretty safe
• 35:49
  about a couple of rounds, so I'm going to go to the video games
• 35:53
  as well because I feel like this is where I might get picked off,
• 35:56
  but I'm going to go with Demolition.
• 35:59
  That's cheating, I guess. Two people from Wrestlefest, the
• 36:03
  arcade game. I like.
• 36:06
  This that game alone was like mind blowing compared to what
• 36:11
  you might have on NES at the time like the NES games were not
• 36:14
  good, right, not good and even the Super Nintendo games are
• 36:17
  kind of trash. But this Wrestlefest game,
• 36:20
  seeing it like you go into an arcade, you know how it's
• 36:23
  playing right on itself. You would see all the guys in
• 36:26
  there. They look so good.
• 36:27
  And then the playable demolition like them on the screen and the
• 36:32
  graphics are pretty solid for the day.
• 36:34
  They just look so cool. And so did Legion of Doom.
• 36:36
  But Legion of Doom is not playable in that game.
• 36:38
  So that's why I want demolition. It's but it is Smash and Crush,
• 36:41
  unfortunately. But still, I, I, I can remember
• 36:44
  Nick would go on vacation to Yogi Bear's campground, right?
• 36:48
  And they had an arcade there. And this was one of the games
• 36:50
  and we were like, hell yeah. Oh God, yeah.
• 36:53
  Just playing this game and being able.
• 36:54
  To choose fast arcade games. Isn't it wild?
• 36:57
  Isn't it wild to think that it took them from Wrestle Fest till
• 37:01
  the THQ games to, yeah, figure it out the games?
• 37:05
  In arcade game are kind of fun, but yeah, the other games are
• 37:07
  just. My God the games in between are
• 37:09
  so bad. I remember buying them every
• 37:12
  time because I was like, so into wrestling that give me anything
• 37:17
  I can give. Me, I had that.
• 37:18
  Remember that Nintendo one that I had wrestling challenge.
• 37:20
  It was obscure and you could wrestle as yourself, quote UN
• 37:23
  quote. Yes, yes, Andre the Giant
• 37:25
  couldn't get back in the ring if you knocked.
• 37:27
  The best, yes. I have.
• 37:29
  I have that in my notes. It's got the weird angle.
• 37:32
  Warrior could toss him out too, yes.
• 37:34
  Warrior could toss out. I'm sorry, I didn't steal.
• 37:36
  Yeah, they're wrestle meeting the arcade game.
• 37:38
  That game sucked too that. Was the one I remember like
• 37:42
  really wanting to pan. It was great.
• 37:47
  It was essentially a claim made it.
• 37:49
  I have the Super Nintendo cartridge in my hand.
• 37:52
  It's an on the shelving behind me and it's got, it's
• 37:57
  essentially a fighting game. It's not a wrestling game.
• 37:59
  It is like Mortal Kombat. Essentially Street Fighter more
• 38:02
  Kombat St. Fighter.
• 38:03
  Oh, it's that one. Oh yeah.
• 38:05
  That one undertaker shoots backed at you or something.
• 38:09
  Yeah, I forgot, I forgot about that one.
• 38:11
  Has it like 6 guys that's it or something?
• 38:13
  I don't. I don't recall.
• 38:14
  Dwink is in it. Dwink is in it.
• 38:16
  That's random. He like, electrocutes people,
• 38:19
  too. Yeah, I remember right now.
• 38:20
  The one exception I think of, like games headed in the right
• 38:24
  direction was Super Nintendo's Royal Rumble.
• 38:27
  Yeah, that game was legit. And that game for me, I didn't
• 38:31
  have a Super Nintendo, but I would go to my buddy Mike's
• 38:35
  house growing up and he was like my Monday Night Wars guy that I
• 38:38
  was on the phone with while we were watching a lot of Mike's in
• 38:41
  this extra cooler universe. But anyway, that's all we would
• 38:46
  do. And I haven't picked my video
• 38:48
  game wrestler, but Razor Ramon from Royal Rumble is an
• 38:52
  honorable mention. That's not where I'm going, but
• 38:53
  that was. Had the music too, you know,
• 38:55
  yes, even if it was like you'd have to is on the just the
• 38:58
  character selection. Are you making a pick right now,
• 39:00
  Matt? Oh, I'm not making.
• 39:01
  Matt But just so you know, I think Lex Luger did the sound
• 39:04
  effects of the game. Yes.
• 39:05
  Awesome. All right, it's up.
• 39:14
  It's up to me. I you're awesome to make a pick.
• 39:16
  I I don't know where to go. I feel like I am confident got.
• 39:22
  Two in a row, bro. I've got I've got notes I'm
• 39:25
  getting here. I'm at least I'm not the time
• 39:27
  that it takes me to make 2 picks.
• 39:28
  It would be one for you. So let's keep moving and I'm
• 39:32
  going to go. With I'm a I'm a fast picker.
• 39:34
  Sorry, I'd slurp in honor of Mikey.
• 39:36
  We're great. It sounds like you're drinking a
• 39:37
  milkshake over there. I am going to go with video game
• 39:43
  wrestler. I'm going to stick there because
• 39:44
  I gave my honorable mention for raising Ramon, but for me it's
• 39:48
  WCWNW World Revenge and I am going with Laparka.
• 39:55
  Just Oh yes. Laparka had the dance.
• 39:59
  He did the flaunt. Thing that was my hair.
• 40:02
  He did the guitar on the chair for you.
• 40:05
  Son of A and. He comes down with the chair,
• 40:07
  yes. Yes.
• 40:09
  He was in for an object. That was greatest.
• 40:13
  He's got such green gear too. He looks so I think he's so
• 40:15
  cool. That is so he is A that's like
• 40:17
  the Bo Jackson of WCW and the B overbound.
• 40:20
  Man, you just, you just throw up my hold of raft hell.
• 40:23
  Yeah. So I'm done.
• 40:25
  So I think because of that, let's take a little break and
• 40:29
  why don't you give us some What's in the cooler?
• 40:32
  Yeah, let's let's hear what's in everybody's cooler.
• 40:37
  I've got tequila. Some Zombidor is what this
• 40:41
  tequila is called. It's like a, it's a, so I'm
• 40:44
  starting to see it online that there's edited free sections at
• 40:48
  liquor stores, which is really cool.
• 40:51
  And it will be less of a hangover the next day for
• 40:55
  anybody. Highly recommend this one if
• 40:58
  you're looking for a budget tequila.
• 41:00
  If I can drink it on the rocks, it's like $27.00 a bottle.
• 41:05
  It's, you know, a respectable price for a for a tequila and
• 41:10
  you can you can mix it as well. So Zombador is what it's called.
• 41:15
  I know you're a year round tequila man, but I feel like
• 41:17
  this is now. I feel.
• 41:19
  Yeah, this is like tequila season has begun.
• 41:22
  I'll go since I'm talking. I have a other half.
• 41:26
  National Broccoli Day. It's a double dry hopped into
• 41:29
  pale ale, 8.5% and it's delicious.
• 41:32
  Here's the the can for your my friends here.
• 41:35
  It looks like a presidential picture.
• 41:37
  Yeah, with the broccoli head guy in a suit.
• 41:39
  It's great. It's delicious beer, as always,
• 41:41
  hazy. Is he in a suit or like a judges
• 41:44
  gown? I can't really tell.
• 41:47
  Yeah, it could be like AI think it's a suit.
• 41:50
  Oh, that broccoli. It would do a better job than
• 41:52
  that. Never mind.
• 41:52
  Sorry, Mike, what do you got? Tonight I have orange goo goo.
• 41:59
  Oh. And I've mixed it with this
• 42:06
  Clementine seltzer. Nice.
• 42:08
  So it's. Do you know you can get that goo
• 42:12
  like flavour free? Flavour free?
• 42:16
  So you just drop the goo to. Drop any drink, yeah.
• 42:19
  Like we have that too. You have the drops in packet.
• 42:23
  The packet. Yes, you could just drop the
• 42:25
  flavor free stuff into any drink that you want.
• 42:28
  Yeah, it's pretty incredible goo.
• 42:30
  You could drop into a Stella. I knew you got that.
• 42:32
  That pit in. Your back a.
• 42:33
  Turbo like a Turbo like a. Turbo the corona with the.
• 42:39
  Corona, Lomona or whatever people call them.
• 42:42
  Your 20s. Yeah.
• 42:46
  I will move in and of course, Cinco de Vio just passed.
• 42:49
  Yeah, it's only appropriate. Got some garage gears, if you
• 42:53
  will, but Modelo especially. Yeah.
• 42:55
  So there you go. Cheers, Pilsil aisle logger,
• 42:58
  which is interesting. I Modelo's turned into a go to
• 43:02
  for me now. Hell yeah.
• 43:04
  That's just going to be in the fridge.
• 43:05
  It's like that late spring into summer go to for me, it's like
• 43:09
  light. It's like what I want to crack
• 43:11
  after I cut the lawn on a hot day.
• 43:14
  Medelo's definitely got to be ice cold.
• 43:16
  I feel like yeah, it's in that league of beers.
• 43:19
  Not knocking it, I'm just saying it's much superior.
• 43:22
  When it's oh 100% like pull it out of a cooler.
• 43:24
  Hell yeah. Oh God, all right back.
• 43:28
  Back. First guy already made his pick
• 43:31
  and he typed it. In.
• 43:32
  Oh yeah, the pick. The pick is already in.
• 43:33
  The pick is in. With the 3rd pick, I'm sorry,
• 43:38
  with the first pick of the third round, I am going to battle
• 43:42
  Royal and I'm going to one that we've already covered as well.
• 43:45
  So this one is episode 188, the Cruiserweight Battle Royal from
• 43:50
  WCWNWO Slamboree 1998. If you remember, Siclopay is the
• 43:55
  winner of this. I have I have this one as my
• 43:58
  second battle royal pick. Sorry to cut you off, but I
• 44:02
  didn't pick it because I couldn't remember how to say his
• 44:04
  name. Siclopay so.
• 44:06
  Who's actually Dean Malenko is. That correct Dean Belenko takes
• 44:08
  the mask off Chris Jericho is you all of the all of the
• 44:14
  introductions yes he's doing all the introductions and it's
• 44:16
  absolutely hilarious and then. That was a Mikey workrate
• 44:20
  recommendation actually. It was.
• 44:21
  It was, yeah. Of course it was.
• 44:23
  It was a battle royal. And yeah, so 188 July 1st 2025 S
• 44:28
  last year. That's a good one.
• 44:29
  And then they go on and much like mixed pick of the in
• 44:34
  Intercontinental titled Qualifier Battle Royale, this
• 44:37
  one had the Cruiserweight title match directly after the Battle
• 44:41
  Royal and Siq Lopay or Dean Malenko takes home the title.
• 44:45
  Very good, nice, excellent stuff that that comes episode.
• 44:49
  Was that again? 188.
• 44:52
  Not too far back. No.
• 44:53
  It was July 1st of last year. 25 I knew you liked it, me trying
• 44:58
  to figure out why we covered that in July.
• 45:04
  There's no rhyme or reason. Sometimes.
• 45:06
  No, no. Just like this episode tonight.
• 45:08
  Yeah. But we do what we want here.
• 45:10
  We go. It's the Mikey Workright
• 45:12
  celebration. Yeah, that's true.
• 45:14
  There's never been a right time to pick a cruiserweight battle
• 45:18
  Royale. You should you should have like,
• 45:21
  adapt that song to be like a draft, I think would be.
• 45:24
  Yeah. All right.
• 45:26
  Is it my is it my pick? I'm sorry.
• 45:27
  Go ahead. Jim, it is your pick, but I
• 45:29
  really, I really screwed up. Nick, are you going to take
• 45:32
  somebody from No Mercy? Can you, can you like give us a
• 45:35
  lead here? I might.
• 45:38
  You might. I will now.
• 45:39
  You will now. Because I know where you're
• 45:41
  going with this. OK, OK.
• 45:43
  I will make sure I do. You don't have to, but when it's
• 45:46
  your pick and you pick your video game wrestler, I've got a
• 45:48
  little treat for us. But keep going.
• 45:49
  Oh. Interesting.
• 45:51
  So Jim, what's the second pick of the third round?
• 45:53
  Yeah. All right, so let me preface
• 45:55
  this. You guys have picked a lot of
• 45:57
  things, or at least you have Matt, I believe, or Nick did to
• 46:00
  the battle Royals, things we've covered already because you're
• 46:02
  good company men and you're pitching past episodes.
• 46:05
  What I want to do is pitch a future episode with both my next
• 46:08
  two picks. And this next one I think might
• 46:11
  be slightly controversial because maybe it's not
• 46:13
  technically a battle royal, but it works like a battle royal.
• 46:16
  So here we go. I'm going to take a my battle
• 46:20
  royal picked and it's going to be sorry, my notes here in front
• 46:24
  of me. So it's the in your house main
• 46:27
  event, the final four from February 1997.
• 46:31
  Now this match, like you could be pinned or submit, but
• 46:36
  everybody, you can also be thrown over the top and
• 46:39
  everybody in this match gets thrown over the top and Brett
• 46:42
  wins it to retain the title. So if you remember correctly,
• 46:45
  yeah, Sean had given up the title, right?
• 46:49
  There's a big schmozzy end to the previous Royal Rumble, 97
• 46:53
  Royal Rumble, which we did cover maybe our what, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
• 46:56
  episode, something like that. Very early, The one in Texas
• 46:58
  that Austin wins after getting eliminated, he comes back in.
• 47:03
  So that's why they had this, because of the Brett Austin
• 47:05
  stuff, and then because of Michael's giving up the belt
• 47:08
  because he lost his smile, of course.
• 47:10
  What is? Who's in this match?
• 47:11
  So who is in this match? Undertaker, Vader, Brett and
• 47:15
  Austin. Oh, Austin.
• 47:16
  Austin. No, yeah, no Sid yeah, Oh yeah,
• 47:18
  Brett and Austin because of the rumble and then undertaker and
• 47:20
  Vader. I don't know why, but this match
• 47:23
  is a dogfight like Vader gets busted over.
• 47:27
  This was covered in one of like the raw magazines early on and
• 47:30
  they treated like all Vader cutter massive like yes, exactly
• 47:34
  the cut face. It's like a needed major
• 47:36
  stitches in his eyebrow, but it's an awesome match.
• 47:40
  The whole pay-per-view is kind of good from Chattanooga, TN.
• 47:42
  It leads into WrestleMania or though even though Brett wins,
• 47:47
  he loses the title to Sid going into WrestleMania on Monday
• 47:50
  night raw. So there's so much going on and
• 47:52
  for me personally, this is like the moment around here where I
• 47:56
  got back into wrestling after losing touch in 95 and 96.
• 48:01
  So it's like super important to me.
• 48:03
  And again, is it a battle royal? Not really it's a continuation
• 48:05
  of rumble in some ways, but everybody goes over the top.
• 48:08
  So I'm. They like this so.
• 48:10
  I think we should cover this match.
• 48:11
  They call it a Four corners elimination match.
• 48:15
  Naked WWF Championship. It's a great 1 minutes in six
• 48:19
  seconds. Interesting.
• 48:20
  Yeah, I, I, this was a lot of fun.
• 48:23
  I mean, look at the names in it. Yeah, how could it not be?
• 48:26
  Exactly at their peak and it's it.
• 48:28
  This leads into maybe the greatest match of all time at
• 48:32
  WrestleMania 13, Brett and Austin, it's because of this
• 48:35
  feud and it's at a fever pitch here.
• 48:38
  I think there we go. After this, Brett faces Sid on
• 48:42
  RAW. That's why you're thinking Sid.
• 48:44
  Yes, exactly. He's in the picture and he had
• 48:47
  just fought Michael's at Royal. Rumble and Austin cost Brett the
• 48:51
  title. Sid wins the title.
• 48:53
  Chair shot. Yeah.
• 48:56
  It's great. All right, we're back to.
• 49:00
  Mangle. I I guess I should pick a battle
• 49:05
  royal slash winner. You.
• 49:07
  You. Don't have to.
• 49:08
  I mean, there's a yeah. I boycott it.
• 49:11
  Yeah, that's a good idea. The guy that loves.
• 49:16
  Yeah, that'd be like me no showing the hacksaw episode.
• 49:18
  Oh man. There you go.
• 49:21
  Go ahead. So I whenever I watch this
• 49:26
  event, I always have to stop and watch this battle Royale because
• 49:30
  it's so good. There's some, so many good parts
• 49:36
  from it. I pick the first ever Andre the
• 49:41
  Giant battle Royale at WrestleMania 30.
• 49:45
  Cesaro wins it, and it's one of the best battle Royals there is.
• 49:51
  Cesaro has a lot of good, you know, parts.
• 49:56
  He picks up the big show like it's nothing.
• 49:59
  The crowd pops huge. Yeah, the crowd pops so huge for
• 50:05
  it, and you hear his music at the end, you know, the We the
• 50:09
  People. Yeah, forgot his sake.
• 50:11
  So good. But yeah, this was classic.
• 50:17
  It's too bad he could never make it to the upper.
• 50:20
  This is the battle royal that started the love of Yeah, battle
• 50:25
  Royals for Mikey. Work right?
• 50:26
  Absolutely. That's exactly why I picked.
• 50:28
  It yeah, we did undercard gems for WrestleMania.
• 50:32
  Undercard gems. And this was Michael this.
• 50:34
  Is the most appropriate pick in the draft.
• 50:37
  And his boy Cesaro, Yeah, with his, with his plate, dinner
• 50:41
  plate nipples, right. But this was this was the moment
• 50:46
  though. Cesaro, there was that
• 50:48
  grassroots Daniel Bryan type feel to it, right?
• 50:52
  The the crowd loved him always. He becomes a Paul Heyman guy the
• 50:56
  next night, Correct me if I'm wrong.
• 50:58
  Or like very soon after, which was very short lived.
• 51:01
  I I find it really interesting that the battle royal is
• 51:05
  actually the first category that got all four picks.
• 51:08
  Yeah, in the third round, that's.
• 51:10
  Fun. That is interesting, I mean.
• 51:11
  I also I feel like time is flying by the fact that this was
• 51:17
  at WrestleMania 30. Yeah, yeah. 12 years like.
• 51:20
  That's insane to me. They fully abandoned the battle
• 51:23
  royal at this point, yes. It's on.
• 51:25
  It's on Smackdown. Oh yeah, that's right, it's
• 51:28
  Royce. Key just won it.
• 51:29
  Oh whoop, Dee Doo. Not sure Jim knows who that is.
• 51:32
  I do not. Oh God.
• 51:36
  Alright, I got any name. I get to go double pick here,
• 51:40
  all right? I'm going to get it out of the
• 51:42
  way and I'm going to make this pick and it's not going to be
• 51:45
  anything flashy. It's just more about the drop
• 51:49
  right now that I know Matt's been holding in his back pocket.
• 51:53
  I'm going no mercy because I love.
• 52:00
  Dig it in. Dig, dig it in.
• 52:03
  This music just brings back so many memories.
• 52:06
  This is no more. This is on No mercy.
• 52:08
  No mercy, Yeah. Obviously like the last Royal
• 52:12
  Rumble and this will just be keep going.
• 52:15
  On loop as we're selecting 30 guys and then we start arguing
• 52:18
  over who to put where. Oh my God I do remember in this
• 52:23
  game Right to Censor being heavily like featured in it.
• 52:28
  There's like three of them. Yeah, yeah, the the music.
• 52:32
  But I do. Godfather to good Father.
• 52:35
  Yeah, so originally my pick was La Parka, but Matt, you stole
• 52:41
  it, you son of A and then I was going to talk a little bit about
• 52:44
  how in those WCW games, like we were itching for wrestling video
• 52:49
  games. And I remember always, you know,
• 52:51
  not being AWWF guy going and using all the past guys.
• 52:56
  Like I I remember loving using Hollywood Hogan and Scott Hall
• 53:01
  and and six in those games. But my pick here, and it's not a
• 53:06
  good one, but it's Edge. I just remember in No Mercy
• 53:09
  really liking to use Edge. He was like raw at the time and
• 53:15
  young. And I don't know, the roster is
• 53:18
  stacked when you go back and look at the No Mercy roster.
• 53:21
  You could play spear with him in it too, right?
• 53:24
  Yeah. Yeah, Esperios is so much fun.
• 53:27
  Is like the biggest jobber I think in No Mercy, I don't know,
• 53:32
  great. All the the core 4 of video
• 53:34
  games. I can't praise them enough.
• 53:36
  But yeah, nothing exciting. I do have to share that now
• 53:40
  permanently in the board. So we have that and that one is
• 53:47
  just perfect. I feel like it's.
• 53:49
  My buddy today at work Timateau he used to be linger on the
• 53:53
  discord. So this week for Teacher
• 53:56
  Appreciation week, we've got like stupid spirit week that
• 54:00
  I'll participate in if I have the things.
• 54:03
  And he's a good sport. And it was dressed like you're
• 54:06
  on a Zoom call. So he wore sweatpants and a
• 54:11
  button down, untucked button down shirt with a tie.
• 54:14
  And the second I saw him, I said, why are you dressed like
• 54:17
  Nick Folger? And he got so mad that he, like,
• 54:22
  forgot to bring an extra sock. He was like, Oh my God, he's
• 54:25
  like, I cannot believe that I didn't see it.
• 54:28
  Or think of it. Right now.
• 54:29
  That's all. I mean this man is genius he has
• 54:34
  his whole class trained to do Dan Hausen taunts instead of the
• 54:38
  you are cursed. He like tells them like has them
• 54:43
  do some taunt together like now is free time.
• 54:48
  It's amazing. It's.
• 54:49
  Amazing, So shadows in the. 2nd grade.
• 54:53
  That's perfect, he goes. Hold on, hold on.
• 54:55
  Mr. Cammy is here. Let's do the let's do it.
• 54:57
  Everybody show them now and they all go.
• 55:00
  Now is free time. It's it's genius.
• 55:04
  But anyway, with my last pick because I because Matt spoiled
• 55:09
  it, obviously got the first pick.
• 55:12
  And then after that, Mike, you took loser leaves town.
• 55:16
  My Mr. Perfect Match is a dark match from 2002 which is like
• 55:23
  the weirdest Mr. Perfect era. Oh, I know what it is.
• 55:27
  It I love the Royal Rumble with him being the final four, but
• 55:32
  there's a dark match out there on YouTube and it's him
• 55:35
  defeating Brock Lesnar with the perfect Plex.
• 55:41
  That's crazy. Lesnar looks lean to Minnesota
• 55:44
  boys. It it's good stuff, man.
• 55:47
  I watched it today and it's. Is that a rematch from their
• 55:51
  fight on the plane? Or is it, I don't know, before,
• 55:54
  you know, I thought of that too. I think it's before because I'm
• 55:57
  thinking Brock was still pretty like Raw at this time.
• 56:01
  It's. Crazy it goes over.
• 56:03
  Yeah, right. It's wild.
• 56:06
  I mean, it's even got the little running clock on the bottom.
• 56:09
  Wow. I was, I was tempted to pick
• 56:11
  that, the Royal Rumble that you mentioned.
• 56:13
  So yeah, that's a weird era. Yeah.
• 56:16
  The rumble was on my on my, my card.
• 56:20
  And then I, I remembered this and I was like, let me Google
• 56:23
  it. And I watched it.
• 56:24
  It's like. On the Royal Rumble 2002.
• 56:28
  Yeah. He's in the final four of that.
• 56:31
  Yeah, he's in the final four. Yeah, that's Triple H, right?
• 56:34
  It's the triple H1 back from the entry.
• 56:37
  Yes. Yeah, that's a good pic.
• 56:40
  The Brock Lesnar. I need to watch that.
• 56:41
  I have not watched. I was.
• 56:43
  I read about that when I was doing my research for this.
• 56:45
  Episode so it's from January 28th 2002 which he debuts what
• 56:51
  the night after the WrestleMania 18 that we go to that's.
• 56:54
  Definitely before the plane then, yeah.
• 56:56
  He's in the back. He's in the back of the program
• 56:58
  that I have for WrestleMania 18. Like him and Orton?
• 57:01
  Please post that video in the distance.
• 57:04
  Thank you. Yeah, that's a historical
• 57:07
  curiosity. It's great.
• 57:08
  All right, Nick's officially done, Mike.
• 57:11
  You're up all. Right.
• 57:12
  Good night, guys. Yeah.
• 57:14
  So it's. Nick has left the left the draft
• 57:17
  room. Yeah, it's it's only, it's only
• 57:23
  it's perfect that I saved this one for last because I'm
• 57:26
  choosing Mr. Perfect. I'm perfect.
• 57:29
  His his song from WrestleMania, the album it's so bad it's good.
• 57:37
  Mr. Perfect. He also just talks over
• 57:41
  basically his theme song Mr. Perfect.
• 57:46
  They use the same effect too like Mr. Perfect right?
• 57:50
  Like the hacker eats people up. Even the the his theme song is
• 57:56
  not as good as his actual theme song here right?
• 57:58
  It's like AI but again I remember the low budget Teemo
• 58:01
  version. I like I like this because it
• 58:04
  was the closest thing you could get.
• 58:05
  Here we go. Yeah.
• 58:08
  Oh yeah. What instrument is that?
• 58:14
  I think it's like a xylophone. Yeah, yeah.
• 58:18
  Simon Cowley get the xylophone out for.
• 58:20
  This one what? You're looking at right?
• 58:27
  Look at that right here. This Mr. Perfect doesn't get any
• 58:29
  better than this. Just.
• 58:31
  Cutting them on. Abe Ford is the good line right
• 58:33
  here. The.
• 58:34
  Greatest wrestler The greatest athlete the.
• 58:36
  World Wrestling Federation. That's it.
• 58:45
  Doesn't even rhyme. They let they let it run
• 58:48
  perfects music or their version of it for like a good 3540
• 58:52
  seconds. Yeah, Mr. And again, he's a
• 58:56
  babyface at the time. This is a good chorus.
• 58:59
  Actually, I think it's one of the better choruses on the
• 59:01
  album. I, I I.
• 59:06
  Did you realize that every single like I I would say most
• 59:09
  of the songs from this album sound like they belong on the
• 59:13
  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack from the first?
• 59:15
  Movie very of the very of the era.
• 59:19
  But but again though, like it's like classic, like five years
• 59:22
  later, Vince. How many of these songs did you
• 59:25
  guys play your house parties? Was it just the macho man?
• 59:28
  It was just the macho. Into this three in the morning,
• 59:32
  Mr. Perfect. You're saying like beer pong to
• 59:35
  that? Yeah, Definitely down to just
• 59:38
  the burs at that point. Maybe Tatanka would be.
• 59:42
  Yeah, that's Tatanka one. Hopefully Matt takes it.
• 59:44
  Matt, he's got a lot of pressure on his last pick.
• 59:46
  Nope, not going there. Oh, wow.
• 59:50
  I have it. I have it in the board.
• 59:51
  We can listen to it. I'm just not going there.
• 59:54
  What? We'll save that.
• 59:55
  You're not going there. All right.
• 59:56
  So I guess it's my pick. Have we moved on?
• 59:58
  Yeah. You're up.
• 59:58
  We got two more picks left in this draft.
• 1:00:00
  My final pick get this, it's my Mr. Perfect picked get this one.
• 1:00:04
  This one is battle royal actually.
• 1:00:06
  How do you like that? Do I see what I did there?
• 1:00:08
  So this is from the April 27th 1991 Saturday night main event.
• 1:00:14
  Yes, this match before I ever watched it.
• 1:00:18
  Long before I ever watched it. It was heavily featured in the
• 1:00:22
  July 1991 issue because they were always like 3 months before
• 1:00:25
  of WF magazine, which if you remember has Jake Roberts on the
• 1:00:30
  cover. He's probably shifting into his
• 1:00:31
  Trust Me era. It's like half shadow on his
• 1:00:34
  face, sweaty of. Course, and he's got a shirt on,
• 1:00:36
  right? I don't think he, I, I, it's, I
• 1:00:40
  could be wrong. His head, yeah, but this was
• 1:00:44
  probably one of the first magazines that we had gotten in
• 1:00:47
  the mail with her subscriptions at this point, because it used
• 1:00:49
  to take, like, what a glacial pace for once you subscribe.
• 1:00:54
  Oh my God, it would. Take forever.
• 1:00:55
  Why? I'm sorry I triggered you.
• 1:00:57
  I know. Yeah, that.
• 1:00:58
  Makes me so angry. But but they did a big feature
• 1:01:02
  on this match as they did and it in my head it was amazing cause
• 1:01:06
  perfect goes over in this match and Hogan's involved.
• 1:01:10
  So that to me is shocking at the time.
• 1:01:12
  Let me give you the rundown. Who's in this?
• 1:01:13
  You got the it's a lot of post WrestleMania 7 angles still
• 1:01:17
  going. Something's resolved some new
• 1:01:19
  direction. But you got the Barbarian, Boss
• 1:01:21
  Man, Bulldog, Duggan, Earthquake, Haku, Hogan, Cato to
• 1:01:25
  not Hercules. Yeah.
• 1:01:26
  Roma, Jake. Roberts, Michaels, Ginetti,
• 1:01:29
  Snuka, Tornado, Tugboat, Greg Valentine and the Warlord to go
• 1:01:33
  along with Mr. Perfect. So a lot of big names in there,
• 1:01:36
  right? Earthquake had just murdered
• 1:01:39
  Damien not too long before, so there's a lot of heat there.
• 1:01:42
  Tugboat eliminates Hogan in this match and Hogan, as he is want
• 1:01:46
  to do, throws A hissy fit. Absolute hissy fit, gets Tugboat
• 1:01:52
  eliminated, so there's that going on.
• 1:01:54
  The final four is Valentine, Perfect, Barbarian and Shawn
• 1:01:57
  Michaels. Michaels is awesome, but it
• 1:02:01
  comes down to Valentine and Perfect, actually.
• 1:02:03
  And Perfect goes over. It's a big win for him, I think,
• 1:02:07
  you know, against all those guys.
• 1:02:09
  He's still the Intercontinental champion there.
• 1:02:11
  He like won. He kept it via disqualification
• 1:02:15
  at WrestleMania 7. And this just for a little
• 1:02:17
  history here. This is the final broadcast of
• 1:02:21
  wrestling on NBC until the relationship with WWE is revived
• 1:02:25
  in O 6. I didn't realize this at the
• 1:02:28
  time because there's still some Saturday night main events the
• 1:02:30
  next year, the Hogan Sid tag match, but that's on Fox, which
• 1:02:35
  is really strange. I didn't I like that was not in
• 1:02:38
  my head at the time. No, not at all.
• 1:02:41
  This Saturday night main event also is Savages first run on
• 1:02:46
  color commentary during the show.
• 1:02:48
  So that's right after 7, right? Yeah, right after seven.
• 1:02:51
  Yeah. So it's a really interesting
• 1:02:53
  one. It's on the WWE vault.
• 1:02:55
  I'm not sure if it's on what you know, Netflix or?
• 1:02:58
  Whatever it might be on YouTube. It is on YouTube, definitely
• 1:03:00
  it's on YouTube and it's definitely worth watching.
• 1:03:02
  Like the whole card is pretty good and it's a it's a good
• 1:03:07
  battle royal. I think it's regarded as that as
• 1:03:09
  well, and I think we should cover the whole thing at some
• 1:03:10
  point. I I watched a couple of that and
• 1:03:14
  it was weird to hear Savage like root for Jake the snake.
• 1:03:19
  Yeah, he's a heel. He's like kind of working as a
• 1:03:21
  heel. Even though he had the like
• 1:03:22
  Elizabeth moment at WrestleMania, they didn't figure
• 1:03:24
  that out. Yet or or was Jake?
• 1:03:26
  Jake is a good guy here because the earthquake just squashed.
• 1:03:30
  Oh yeah. Good point.
• 1:03:31
  Jake's coming off of Martel with the arrogance.
• 1:03:34
  That's right, he does bring out Lucifer in this match for the
• 1:03:36
  first time actually, too. Yeah.
• 1:03:39
  So yeah, that's fun. There we go.
• 1:03:41
  That's my pick. Close the sound, Matt, the last
• 1:03:43
  pick of the draft. With the 4th pick of the fourth
• 1:03:47
  round, we've got to go to WrestleMania, the album.
• 1:03:51
  We've got to finish this out. We've talked about a lot.
• 1:03:54
  We I, I did the effort. So let's just kind of see what's
• 1:03:57
  going to happen, what's not going to happen.
• 1:03:59
  Yes, I knew it. Here's to Tanta.
• 1:04:01
  This is not my pick. I'm just.
• 1:04:03
  Playing it, I spent. The effort I spent the effort to
• 1:04:05
  bullbies, just in case one of you jabronis picked it.
• 1:04:10
  I was going to. Between, you know.
• 1:04:12
  Nasty Boys and Tatanka. Does he do the fall?
• 1:04:15
  He the was that a gunshot? What was that?
• 1:04:20
  Yeah, definitely a gunshot. He's got Native American blood
• 1:04:24
  in his veins and he'll fight. What's funny is he doesn't.
• 1:04:26
  Though he will. So the other one on this list
• 1:04:30
  that we haven't talked about as far as the WrestleMania of the
• 1:04:34
  album goes, yes. Oh.
• 1:04:37
  Slam sham. Starts out with oh, this.
• 1:04:39
  Dick head. It's a mole taker.
• 1:04:41
  Shredding. Yeah, And the Undertaker?
• 1:04:43
  This is some serious Prince knock off.
• 1:04:46
  Yes, yeah, that's exactly what it is.
• 1:04:48
  Cowl going nuts in the studio. I.
• 1:04:53
  Had a flat just for. You.
• 1:04:56
  He's trying. He's trying.
• 1:05:00
  Morph. It's definitely just on face.
• 1:05:04
  I love this. It's got like this Halloween.
• 1:05:06
  Like you can play this at the Halloween party.
• 1:05:08
  That's what I was going to say. Yeah.
• 1:05:09
  I hate this song so much but I would definitely have it on my
• 1:05:12
  Halloween playlist if it was on Spotify.
• 1:05:15
  So I think the last one that we haven't spoken about, hacksaw
• 1:05:18
  doesn't count. Oh yeah, that's did you pick
• 1:05:22
  Undertaker. I did not.
• 1:05:23
  Oh, you didn't? I haven't shared my pick yet.
• 1:05:26
  Trying to figure out what's left in my head.
• 1:05:28
  Sharing all the stuff. This one has like some rap in it
• 1:05:31
  I. Think yeah.
• 1:05:31
  What else? I like the classic 90 early 90s
• 1:05:34
  rap verse. Yeah.
• 1:05:38
  Mom and Daddy. Oh mom and daddy, this is a dog.
• 1:05:40
  That one should be taken out behind the shut and.
• 1:05:41
  Shut. That is a total dog.
• 1:05:43
  Did you know and we we mentioned it before you play the next one?
• 1:05:45
  I could not find it out there. There is a like Auk version with
• 1:05:50
  crush song on. It no, I gotta go.
• 1:05:52
  So does it have like a Hawaiian fur guitar?
• 1:05:56
  That's your pick. Is my pick.
• 1:05:57
  No, there is Auk version, there's two songs that so it's
• 1:06:02
  the US version is 10 tracks. The UK version probably because
• 1:06:06
  Simon Cowell needed these special tracks just for himself.
• 1:06:10
  There is a slam jam, 12 inch full Nelson mix is what it's
• 1:06:14
  called. And then track 10 on the UK
• 1:06:18
  version is Crush. It's called Cold crush.
• 1:06:21
  And found it. This is my pick wait.
• 1:06:23
  Before you play it. Hold on, I've never heard this.
• 1:06:25
  Yeah, I've never heard this in my life, Earth.
• 1:06:28
  Shattering How bad is it find that it got cut for Boss Man's
• 1:06:32
  music? Yes, the boss man is pretty
• 1:06:34
  pathetic. So just to clear it, just so we
• 1:06:36
  can start over again. No, no, no, you're OK.
• 1:06:39
  I'm just going to. We talked about them a little
• 1:06:42
  bit earlier. I'm just going to ruin
• 1:06:43
  everyone's life for a second. That's just to get that in there
• 1:06:48
  and so we can palate cleanser. All right, palate cleanser, here
• 1:06:50
  we go. I'm going to turn up the volume
• 1:06:52
  just a little bit and this is. It's a great birthday present.
• 1:06:56
  Cold. Crush but crush sings cold.
• 1:07:00
  Crush Give. Me some juice.
• 1:07:08
  You got some volume. Hello everybody.
• 1:07:17
  Everyone of you will. Get it behind me the way you.
• 1:07:21
  Have is he doing like a like an accent?
• 1:07:32
  Oh man. Hold.
• 1:07:37
  It's like. One uncovered it.
• 1:07:45
  I like does the accent. Oh, that's.
• 1:07:50
  What you got? There, come on, let it go.
• 1:07:58
  You're clearly not letting him sing.
• 1:08:00
  Is he done? Yeah.
• 1:08:04
  Oh, he's so bad. This this might.
• 1:08:07
  Be, you know, I was just thinking.
• 1:08:10
  Sounds like he's doing like an Andre the Giant impression.
• 1:08:12
  OK, do my reputation. Did you say coconuts?
• 1:08:16
  He said something like coconuts. He's a registration anybody was
• 1:08:20
  a fever all. Right.
• 1:08:24
  Anybody was. I imagine Simon Cowell putting
• 1:08:28
  his fists through like the, you know, like, what's that like
• 1:08:30
  soundboard like smoke coming out of it.
• 1:08:33
  He's like listening to Kona Crush about now I think about
• 1:08:36
  this, who's winging it in? That kudos MM you work great.
• 1:08:40
  I know it's your birthday, but I think Matt just won the draft.
• 1:08:43
  Hell yeah with. That one that's now I know why
• 1:08:47
  that was cut from. The That's a great birthday
• 1:08:50
  present. Thank you for I've never heard
• 1:08:52
  that before and I'm so glad but also I I'm fine if I never hear
• 1:08:57
  that again. That was terrible.
• 1:09:00
  I can't wait to. I'm gonna be falling asleep in
• 1:09:01
  bed and that's gonna be playing in my head.
• 1:09:06
  YouTube like how close? These are video.
• 1:09:10
  No, it was just the video that I found was actually I I will have
• 1:09:14
  to go look again 'cause I think I found it in two different
• 1:09:16
  places and 1 was just a picture of Kona Crush and that was the
• 1:09:20
  one that. I wait, was this on the dark
• 1:09:22
  web? Yes, that's exactly it.
• 1:09:24
  We can't. Find the episode, but we found
• 1:09:25
  the Lost. Episode found.
• 1:09:27
  The whole crush, Do you think we're?
• 1:09:29
  Just like, hey crush, do me a favor, try to sound like Andre
• 1:09:33
  the Giant, right? That's what you guys have seen a
• 1:09:35
  little. Arnold Schwarzenegger in there
• 1:09:37
  too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:38
  Are the fishing there today? All right, let's run it down.
• 1:09:42
  Let's let's run down the the pics here.
• 1:09:44
  So I went with video game wrestler La Parka, WrestleMania,
• 1:09:49
  the album Crush, Cold Crush, the cruiserweight battle royal from
• 1:09:54
  Slamboree 1998 with Siclopay and then Mr. Perfect and Bret Hart
• 1:09:59
  1991 SummerSlam pick 101 Jim Demolition from Wrestlefest.
• 1:10:04
  That's a sneaky awesome pic. Bret Hart wrestle Mania to the
• 1:10:08
  album never the right time to say goodbye with a special
• 1:10:11
  appearance from Stuhart. Brett versus Austin versus Vader
• 1:10:16
  versus Undertaker in your house 13 Final four 1997.
• 1:10:19
  Another one that was really interesting.
• 1:10:21
  And then the Mr. Perfect match winning a battle royal on
• 1:10:25
  Saturday night's main event from April 27th, 1991.
• 1:10:28
  That's that's some really solid picks from Jim here, I feel
• 1:10:31
  like. She brought it.
• 1:10:32
  Agreed. I almost picked Earthquake from
• 1:10:35
  Wrestlefest myself that. Was my other.
• 1:10:37
  That's who I would have taken. Aside from demolition, I love
• 1:10:39
  it. Because he always he did like a
• 1:10:41
  thumbs down and. He's vague too.
• 1:10:42
  He's. Vague.
• 1:10:43
  Yeah. So they just remade Wrestlefest
• 1:10:47
  and they have it for like Arcade One up or whatever.
• 1:10:50
  Like yeah, I know it's different because they don't have licenses
• 1:10:55
  for everything. Like so I don't think Legion of
• 1:10:57
  Doom is in it, but man, Jim has NFL Blitz at his house and I
• 1:11:02
  feel like I need to. Get I would trade it in for
• 1:11:05
  Wrestlefest I. Feel like I need it.
• 1:11:07
  Anyway, got to make sure it's the real wrestlefest though.
• 1:11:09
  Yeah, yeah, the closest thing, absolutely.
• 1:11:11
  All right, Mike, he in the first round, he picked ho from no from
• 1:11:17
  No Mercy. So she was a ho one too.
• 1:11:22
  Many hoes, all right, Mr. Perfect I'm perfect from
• 1:11:31
  WrestleMania, the album, the battle Royals, the Andre battle
• 1:11:33
  royal from WrestleMania 30, the first one and then Mr. Perfect
• 1:11:36
  Ric Flair loser leaves town for bra January 25th, 1993.

  Solid picks. Even with the hoe in there,
• 1:11:43
  which is a deep cut. I think a No mercy deep cut is
• 1:11:46
  pretty legit. It costs $500,000 to get.
• 1:11:51
  Yeah, that's a pretty pricey hoe.
• 1:11:55
  At first I like, I was like, who's he talking about?
• 1:11:57
  Like some New Japan wrestler or something.
• 1:11:58
  I didn't know what you're talking about.
• 1:12:00
  I was like, did you forget the last name?
• 1:12:01
  Do you remember, didn't you do art for like Ho Ho Koos or
• 1:12:05
  something like that? Was a battle wrestler recently
• 1:12:08
  like Korean wrestler? Yes.
• 1:12:10
  Anyway, Nick, let's run down your picks.
• 1:12:13
  Edge from No Mercy, The Nasty Boys, Nasty Boy Stomp from
• 1:12:17
  WrestleMania, The album, The Battle Royal, The IC
• 1:12:21
  Intercontinental Title qualifier, Battle Royal from
• 1:12:24
  October of 1993. And then I think my favorite
• 1:12:27
  pick of the draft is Mr. Perfect versus Brock Lesnar in the Dark
• 1:12:31
  match from January of 2002 before the Brock Lesnar debut.
• 1:12:36
  That one, that one to me is. I posted on the discord.
• 1:12:40
  See that it's. Already out there so.
• 1:12:43
  I think this was a blast. I this was a lot of fun.
• 1:12:46
  Have a track? Thank you, guys.
• 1:12:47
  Yeah. Birthday boy, I'm sorry I always
• 1:12:49
  bust your chops about drafts. This one was worth it.
• 1:12:51
  This is a. Fun one.
• 1:12:52
  It's a lot of fun and I'm honored that you guys did one
• 1:12:57
  for all the stuff I like. A perfect draft.
• 1:12:59
  It was a perfect draft. Well, it was perfect draft.
• 1:13:02
  Yeah. So I will, I have a screenshot
• 1:13:04
  of the draft board. I will make sure that this gets
• 1:13:07
  posted in the Discord as well. Nick, I'll send it to you if you
• 1:13:10
  want to do social, yes at all. And yeah, we'll go from there.
• 1:13:14
  But you guys have given me an idea.
• 1:13:16
  We've covered quite a bit of matches or we've mentioned and
• 1:13:18
  drafted quite a bit of matches. I think we need to cover one of
• 1:13:22
  them next episode. I mean so.
• 1:13:25
  I know you guys should talk about it on discord, say which
• 1:13:28
  one you want to you. Know yeah I'm opinion man hold.
• 1:13:32
  This on Instagram but I'm thinking we might hold it on
• 1:13:35
  Discord instead. Oh I like it.
• 1:13:37
  Kind of see what people think over there and what you want us
• 1:13:41
  to cover. Like Matt said, our Discord is
• 1:13:44
  free. We're not one of those jabronis
• 1:13:46
  that charge money, but yeah, it's it's a lot of fun and it's
• 1:13:49
  definitely worth getting in there.
• 1:13:51
  And we're going to open that up because I think we we touched on
• 1:13:55
  a few classics here and a few really good ones that we haven't
• 1:13:58
  covered. So thank you guys.
• 1:14:02

• 1:14:33
  What a throw. What a catch.
• 1:14:35
  That was unbelievable. No, no, no.
