- 0:39I'm. Ready for this episode now?
- 0:41Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
- 0:50your favorite nostalgic wrestling podcast.
- 0:52This is the Extra Cooler show. My name is Nick, otherwise known
- 0:55as Extra Cooler, and me, the bushwhackers and the kangaroo
- 1:01are here. Sorry, I don't know who would be
- 1:03the kangaroo. I was going to say who's who.
- 1:05I don't know, but you guys are the bushwhackers this week.
- 1:10They'll be Doc Hendricks instead.
- 1:16Yeah, as usual, you can find us over on the Instagram.
- 1:19I can't Do it the whole episode on Instagram Extra Cooler and
- 1:24also the Extra Cooler show. Join us over on our Discord
- 1:27channel. I hope we can discuss the
- 1:30Bushwackers a little bit further after this episode.
- 1:34This. Feels like this is like a Jason
- 1:37movie. It's like Friday the 13th for
- 1:40like Jason goes to hell, whatever it's called, like it
- 1:43feels like the OR the final chapter.
- 1:44I apologize, Andrew Rubin's going to come after me for that.
- 1:48But it's like it is feels like this is it the final chapter of
- 1:51our Bushwackers debate. And it's funny that it's like a
- 1:531996 Superstars of Wrestling episode that's it's gone us
- 1:59there. But I have a feeling though,
- 2:00like Jason, the Bushwackers will debate will come back.
- 2:03I was just going to say that. Yeah, I was just going to say
- 2:06it's never going to be over. Come on.
- 2:08Bushwackers go to space, you know, look at all.
- 2:13Oh, Luke and Butch, Matt, we got some housekeeping, I believe.
- 2:16We sure do. Last episode we were talking
- 2:20about the entrance of 6 into the WCW and NWO world and he showed
- 2:27up in NWO in 1996 and we had kind of questions around when he
- 2:33showed up. How quickly did he show up?
- 2:35Was this another one of those Rick Rude Lex Luger situations?
- 2:39And it was actually far from that.
- 2:42The story goes with the 123 kids final match in WWF was him
- 2:47losing to Savio Vega, which was on a Monday Night Raw May 20th
- 2:51of 1996. He spent some time in rehab and
- 2:55then on September 16th, 1996, that Nitro that was following
- 3:00the car that we covered last week is when he showed up in the
- 3:02crowd and he actually used the remote control to like let
- 3:08Flyers pop come down from the ceiling.
- 3:11And that was him kind of announcing himself as a member
- 3:14of the NWO. And then his name was 6 SYXX,
- 3:19which was because he was the 6th member of the NWO.
- 3:22And 1 + 2 + 3 one 2-3 kid also equals 6.
- 3:26So there you go. And then his first match was the
- 3:29following week, beating one of our favorites, Jim Duggan.
- 3:35One too many hoes. I didn't know where you're going
- 3:38with that. I know.
- 3:40I always loved the name 6. I thought it was actually pretty
- 3:42cool. One of the better. 3.
- 3:44WCW names, especially for a company that always used like
- 3:48their, you know, street name. Yeah, I, I got, I'm not going to
- 3:51lie, I always knew about the 123 adding the numbers together and
- 3:56that's why I didn't realize and I never put together that he was
- 4:00the 6th member of the NWO and that's had something to do with
- 4:03it also. I liked his gear, too.
- 4:04His T-shirt had the sick, the pool, the pool ball, right?
- 4:08Yeah. Hell yeah.
- 4:09Yeah, that's a great. That's like underrated shirts.
- 4:12I feel like an Attitude Era. I always love that Scott Hall
- 4:17used to wear it and wear it backwards, you know, for the 6th
- 4:20ball will be on the front and the NWO on the back.
- 4:23But I know, I know, Doc Hall. Just like he anything he does is
- 4:27cool. Like, I mean, it's like, yeah,
- 4:29look at that. Yeah, we.
- 4:31We need to do like a draft of like, just cool, just like
- 4:35wrestling cool, you know, he. Put He's the only guy that can
- 4:37make the right now, you know, look cool too, you know,
- 4:40impressive. Well, you're like, oh, draft,
- 4:43this guy's got to. Yeah.
- 4:45I'm not even going to say yeah, yeah.
- 4:46I was going to say something that wouldn't have turned right,
- 4:49but hey, hey, Matt, thanks for the well.
- 4:51Enough is enough and it's time for housekeeping.
- 4:57The drop. The drop always has to happen.
- 4:59I'm off my game, I apologize. It's all right.
- 5:01I wasn't going to interrupt you, but yeah, our.
- 5:03Housekeeping is done and you did your own version of one too many
- 5:07hoes. So there I'm back A.
- 5:11Little bit. So something tells me it's kind
- 5:14of appropriate that we just hammered out a bunch of drops
- 5:16because something tells me we're going to have a lot more as this
- 5:19episode goes on. So we alluded to it earlier.
- 5:23You've already seen the graphic. This episode is 192 of the Extra
- 5:28Cooler show, which is wild. We're covering WWF superstars
- 5:34from May 4th, 1996. All right, so Jim, you're the
- 5:39one that threw this episode out there.
- 5:41I think it's pretty appropriate because back when we covered
- 5:44King of the Ring, we uncovered that the Bushwhackers were at
- 5:48one point accompanied to the ring by a kangaroo mascot, which
- 5:53the four of us had absolutely no clue.
- 5:56You know, 96. We were all in high school, you
- 6:00know, We were not watching it like we used to when we were
- 6:02younger kids, especially not watching WWF Superstars very
- 6:06often. Yeah, yeah, here we were still
- 6:10end of 8th grade, right? Like, yeah, yeah.
- 6:13We started September 96. Is is when we started high
- 6:17school. So yeah, this is like the tail
- 6:19end of middle school. But still, yeah, I don't think
- 6:21any of us were paying that close attention to, you know, in your
- 6:24house. No, and like no, you know, we're
- 6:27just talking about Scott Hall cool.
- 6:28This was superstars in 1996 was objectively not cool.
- 6:33Like in any era, is late. Right, like it is bad be lame,
- 6:38but you definitely we could have covered it up because of one
- 6:42particular individual that is covered a lot in this episode
- 6:45and that is none other than Sunny and the the rise of her.
- 6:48So obviously you would understand why an eighth grade
- 6:50boy would be watching WWF Superstars.
- 6:53Yeah, there's in many of 96, but I think we wanted to cover this.
- 6:58I remember when we covered what was it the king of the ring?
- 7:01You said 96 and we like we're like, wait, the bushwackers are
- 7:05still around in 96. We didn't realize that.
- 7:07And then the kangaroo situation, we were like, what?
- 7:10That was not on our radar at all.
- 7:12And so we had to had to go back and investigate this.
- 7:16I mean, that's what we are here sometimes, right?
- 7:17We're like investigators of like dog shit wrestling.
- 7:21Like that's like, let's get to the bottom of this turd and
- 7:23figure this. Out.
- 7:26That's a really good way to put it.
- 7:27Like, as much as we pride ourselves on the nostalgia of
- 7:30this podcast and more recently we've dove into some like pretty
- 7:35iconic stuff, but it's really fun sometimes to watch these
- 7:38things. And Superstars has such a sweet
- 7:41spot because when you watch it on Peacock, it's like 45 minutes
- 7:46and and and we got to get these in because who the hell knows
- 7:49what's happening with WWE and their their streaming platforms
- 7:54and, and all that, which is whole nother can of worms.
- 7:57There was news that came out today that, well, I guess a week
- 8:01ago at this point that came out that ESPN is not interested in
- 8:06holding their old library so. It's Peacock has it Till and I I
- 8:11believe Peacock has it till like the spring of 2026 is what I was
- 8:15reading. Yes.
- 8:17They took more superstars away. I want to be so pissed.
- 8:21Bad enough we can't find RAW anywhere, so.
- 8:23Raw is already on Netflix, but it's.
- 8:26That's how difficult to store this stuff.
- 8:29How difficult is it to like warehouse this stuff on a server
- 8:34somewhere? Come on.
- 8:34Yeah. You could see, you could see
- 8:36why, yes, I mean, this is a whole another discussion, but I
- 8:39feel like I could understand why ESPN doesn't feel the need to
- 8:42carry the library. They've got a lot of other
- 8:45stuff. Yeah, they have plenty others,
- 8:47but they. Can hire some people to post,
- 8:50you know, Bushwhackers 96. Someone else, someone else is
- 8:54going to pick it up. It would be nice if it's Netflix
- 8:56cause Netflix is a little smoother than the Peacock.
- 8:59I'm still trying to wear my 999 sweatshirt too early.
- 9:05That's that's, that's the dream, right?
- 9:07That's that's the dream that will never come true ever again.
- 9:11We didn't know we had. Yes, yes.
- 9:13Yeah, how we did it was that we did our was.
- 9:17Yeah, we yeah, we just started this podcast too late.
- 9:21Yeah. Let's let's take a trip back to
- 9:23April 30th, 1996 to Des Moines, IA, which is where this
- 9:29Superstars takes place. It originally aired on May 4th
- 9:351996 and let me tell you WWF superstars starts off hot we get
- 9:42a recap with heal Davey boy Smith, Jim Cornett they're
- 9:48they're backstage yelling at Doc Hendricks and and gorilla
- 9:52monsoon Davey boy is pissed right, because Sean has made a
- 9:57pass at Diana, but. Again allegedly.
- 10:00Allegedly. Allegedly you.
- 10:02Want to hear it directly from him?
- 10:03Because think about this, this is even before the theme song
- 10:07plays. You get this level of Davey
- 10:11coming at you. I imagine you've got to be the
- 10:13happiest rotten pervert, Shawn Michaels.
- 10:15He wants to sleep with my wife. I can't wait for me at 26.
- 10:19I'm going to finish him right now.
- 10:20What's he talking about? I love dirty, dirty rotten.
- 10:24Pervert. Is that what he called him?
- 10:25Dirty rotten pervert. It took me about like 10 lessons
- 10:29to figure out and then he just walks.
- 10:32Away from the microphone and he like trails off talking about
- 10:35May 26th which is the next in your house event where beware of
- 10:40dog. Way to plug your shit, bulldog.
- 10:43Yeah, yeah. Oh man, that starts.
- 10:46Off not man like that's a yeah to start an event as like coming
- 10:51completely dry coming into this yeah.
- 10:53You know what I was getting myself into and then that's
- 10:56where we're going. Oh.
- 10:57Superstar. Gorilla's Jabber fest.
- 10:59Yeah. Gorilla was shocked.
- 11:01You're right. No, it's it's they're coming in
- 11:03hot here. Are you ready to go?
- 11:05Please do it. Are you ready to go?
- 11:08You have you have the music, right?
- 11:11Sorry to put you on the spot. Maybe.
- 11:14Maybe. Oh yeah.
- 11:17So. Such a bop.
- 11:23Doc Hendrix singing The Entrance and yes, we've heard this.
- 11:27We played this on a few episodes ago.
- 11:29Watching entrance itself is so outrageous.
- 11:34Like it's got the whole cast. It's like essentially their
- 11:36version of the Saved by the Bell entrance but the like the talent
- 11:42is lip syncing along. Yeah, to it, I read.
- 11:44It oh, it's. So picture of the body doll of.
- 11:48Yeah. Yeah, so uncomfortable.
- 11:49I like. Shawn in like what looks like
- 11:51his underwear like just dancing along to it.
- 11:55I like Vader in that leather jacket too.
- 11:57Did you see that? Yes, it's all great.
- 11:59Screw you guys, I'm not putting on my gear for this bullshit.
- 12:03I love the vids that like it's been different through right?
- 12:06Like they changed the who's included?
- 12:08At four different times. So you can hear who's like added
- 12:11later, like blood is blue, like throw it, you know?
- 12:14It's already been housekeeping. I'm not doing it again, sorry.
- 12:20It's the. Godwins are in the ring.
- 12:22This is a very like. Is that like a RIP off of the
- 12:25Monday Night Football team basically?
- 12:26Is that what they're going for? It's got to be.
- 12:27That's what it feels like the IT feels like Williams junior
- 12:30thing. Yeah, yeah, it.
- 12:31Feels like Hank Williams junior meets saved by the bell I think.
- 12:35Yeah, that's pretty good. Right now it knows all it's
- 12:37missing is the like school bell in the very beginning.
- 12:40Otherwise it's got the same vibe.
- 12:42Hank Williams, junior meets Saved by the Bell is the
- 12:45crossover. I never knew I needed it.
- 12:47Here it was. Here it is.
- 12:49It's Saturday morning. There's professional wrestling
- 12:51involved with professional wrestling.
- 12:52Fancy. Mixing the trio.
- 12:54I love it. Godwins are in the ring.
- 12:56They are baby faces I think at the time, right?
- 12:59They've got hillbilly. Chair, they've got hillbilly.
- 13:02They're in the ring, but we are. I mean, this is like chock full
- 13:06extra cooler show right now. You get the new rockers out
- 13:09next, Jim. Jim Ross is in the aisle waiting
- 13:13for Leaf, Cassidy and Marty. I'm going to say it right away,
- 13:18right? And I don't think this is an
- 13:19accusation. Marty Janetti looks as high as a
- 13:22kite. Right as he gets on the mic.
- 13:25He says something and Jim Ross then goes to ask Marty a
- 13:30question. But Marty goes to answer the
- 13:31question. Not even with his mouth into the
- 13:33microphone, you can't hear what he's saying.
- 13:36On top of this, they're carrying two pink stuffed animal pigs
- 13:42down to the ring that on leeches they're punting them around like
- 13:46it's a football. Game.
- 13:47It it is, it is wild. It is absolutely.
- 13:50Wild Marty does drill the like it's like a, you know, a 50 yard
- 13:55field goal that would have been good from 60 yards.
- 13:58He like, hammers that pig into the into the.
- 14:01Raft and he has NTPD. I'm mad about this.
- 14:05It's so, so absurd. My name.
- 14:09Is Prince's response to them, though, Well, they're like Leif
- 14:13Cassidy is saying whatever he's saying and.
- 14:15Says they're two grooving happening dudes.
- 14:17Like what? What is happening?
- 14:19It's especially bad like Al Snow here.
- 14:22Leaf Cassidy is especially bad, delivering his lines, and then
- 14:27Vince McMahon even commentates on it afterwards.
- 14:30They're a little on the dorky side, especially Leaf.
- 14:32It's like, all right, we had a bury here guy.
- 14:34Cool man. Isn't he?
- 14:36Crazy though, to think that you've got like Marty Janetti,
- 14:391/2 of like the coolest tag team when we were kids and now he
- 14:44hasn't changed his gimmick. He's like I, I don't think he's
- 14:48intentionally corny. Like, I think they're just like
- 14:52they're. Awful.
- 14:53Yeah. They're absolute tool boxes
- 14:55here, right? I mean, like, absolutely.
- 14:57But I think they did try to sell them when they first came out
- 15:02and then they quickly, like, pivoted to like this.
- 15:05That's my recollection of it because it's so bad.
- 15:08And like Jr. says, the new rockers are listening to like
- 15:10Tommy James and the Shondells to get ready.
- 15:13Like, you know, like it's, is it like?
- 15:18Crimson Clover. Yeah, I I don't it's like why
- 15:22they're going back in time now. Like Sean and Marty were like
- 15:27pair metal guys basically. Like that's the idea and like it
- 15:31doesn't make. It's like the 70s.
- 15:33Yeah, it's like, I don't think they like the headbangers come
- 15:36out next year, right? Like I think they were looking
- 15:38for something like that. Obviously this is a little off,
- 15:41but I think they're like headed in that direction of like we
- 15:44need some like music type I I don't I don't know.
- 15:47It's you think, you think about wrestling, especially WWF in
- 15:52like 1996 at this time and how interesting the roster is, but
- 15:57like to add another layer to it. The tag teams are like.
- 16:02Horrible. They're atrocious.
- 16:04I like that they're going for their tag teams though, right,
- 16:07yes, I agree they are. But I I agree with you, they are
- 16:09there's. Nothing like believable about
- 16:12the the the tag teams that are featured on this card.
- 16:15Jim, you're falling for it. He's, oh, he's setting you up,
- 16:18man, Setting you up. I don't like that.
- 16:20I'm taking Marty. I'm like in the bear trap.
- 16:23Marty and Leaf defeat Henry and Phineas the winner of the match
- 16:28they got or they're going to get a title shot at the body Donna's
- 16:31and their tag team titles. Like like I said, the tag team
- 16:34division is is interesting, but it's it's blatantly being
- 16:38carried by Sonny, right? Like it's without Sonny, the tag
- 16:42team division has no hope. Well, there's Techno Team 2000.
- 16:49I I beware of dog. She's already switched to twice.
- 16:54I believe she attaches to the godwins when they beat the body
- 16:57donnas before that and then at Beware of dog she kisses Billy
- 17:03Gahn. Oh.
- 17:04Yeah. And yeah, you're right.
- 17:06This is all smoking guns. Yeah.
- 17:08She's following the gold, maybe following the gold.
- 17:12And that does lift the entire, you know, division.
- 17:14I think her little her antics and jumping ship from from tag
- 17:18team to tag team. Yeah, so the body donnas come
- 17:20down, they distract Henry and Cassidy, who's not even the
- 17:24legal man. He the pins Phineas with the
- 17:27sunset flip off the top and Skip and Zipper celebrating at
- 17:32ringside because they've distracted the referee.
- 17:34And they're yucking it up. Do you think this is new Marty
- 17:37gear? Right?
- 17:38It wasn't like he doesn't have like 3 of everything and he like
- 17:41let leaf bar borrow them. No, I think, I think you just
- 17:44said, hey, you see this? I used to be cool.
- 17:47Can you do this? But but let's change up and make
- 17:51it a singlet. And let's have.
- 17:53Some kind of like those straps, Yeah, that the.
- 17:55Yeah, there's like little straps and stuff too.
- 17:57Yeah. It's like.
- 17:58If I went to my high school reunion and I wore this red
- 18:02velvety maroon shirt. We're all running back.
- 18:07Right, you actually wore a maroon velvety shirt.
- 18:11He thought he was a Gangrel or something.
- 18:17Guess where he guess where he bought the shirt.
- 18:18Take 2 words. Guess.
- 18:20Take one guess please. It has to be hot topic.
- 18:23No, it is hot topic, of course. Oh yeah.
- 18:27Oh. Yeah, he's.
- 18:28Going for you like a Gangrel Y2J?
- 18:31Oh yeah, you had the Y2J. Party gimmick at the time, I
- 18:34said. Silvery like shiny shirt, Yeah.
- 18:37Not bad though. I mean, you went for it though.
- 18:39You swung. You swung to the fastest you
- 18:41might have. You know, the bat might have
- 18:42ended up in the stands. But, well, I I'm upset I missed
- 18:48all that. Early earlier I asked if you
- 18:50guys are ready, but now I want to take you guys to the Slam
- 18:53Jam. Oh, the slam.
- 18:54Like if anybody's listening, I'm very curious if they remember
- 18:58the Slam Jam because it's like, I feel like it's WWF, Vince's
- 19:04version. It's like he tuned tuned into
- 19:06MTV for the first time in 1996. It was like, oh shit, we got to
- 19:11do this. Who who would be great.
- 19:13Let's get a young hip guy to do this.
- 19:17Hey, Doc Hendricks, you're perfect for this.
- 19:19And and while you're at it, just, you know, you got the
- 19:21voice and everything. Let's roll.
- 19:23And we get Doc Hendricks giving us a recap of Sean beating
- 19:26Diesel at the last in your house. pay-per-view.
- 19:30But man. He he kind of takes over the
- 19:33Todd Penn. Yes, it is over the top.
- 19:37It is. And explain it though where is
- 19:40he? He's It looks to me like he's in
- 19:42an underground bunker or something.
- 19:44Like. I'm imagining like Silence of
- 19:47the Lambs where the Buffalo Bill guy has his kidnapping victim
- 19:50down. He like feeds him with a bucket
- 19:52and stuff. Like that's Vince's house and
- 19:54Doc Hendricks is in the basement trap.
- 19:55You're going to do it a slam jam, damn it.
- 19:57Like me, Throw some chicken wings down to eat wherever the
- 20:00hell Doc Hendrick. Yeah.
- 20:04And Sean, like that lasted. Diesel did.
- 20:08He throw my European collar down.
- 20:10I can't. I'm not as good at the doc as
- 20:12you are. The the the interesting part,
- 20:17though, is that there's a massive what looks to be an oil
- 20:19painting behind him, and it is of Doc Hendrix just is.
- 20:25He got his finger on his chin. It it's a bizarre, bizarre
- 20:28painting. It looks like one of those
- 20:29velvet paintings like in the background of this Slam Jam
- 20:32studio, which there's a. Lot of March around too.
- 20:35There's a lot of and then there's like, fake televisions.
- 20:38Yeah, right. They're not real.
- 20:40There's no like, glossy thing over the television screen.
- 20:43It's like just like a picture inside of it.
- 20:46Dude, I'm telling you, that bastard is trapped down there.
- 20:48He might still be there. He's been recording slam jams.
- 20:52Why is it called the Slam Jam? They just had a song called the
- 20:55Slam Jam and then you got this. Damn I I it's infuriating.
- 21:00Yeah. And again, like, how old is he?
- 21:02He's I always thought Doc Hendricks was like 60 at the
- 21:05time, you know, back in 96. But here we are.
- 21:09And again, so I I saved us some housekeeping for those that
- 21:13don't know, because I asked before we hit record, where did
- 21:15the name Doc Hendricks come from?
- 21:18Well, Michael PS Hayes came up with the name himself.
- 21:21It's a combination of the band Doc In and his favorite
- 21:24guitarist Jimi Hendrix. So.
- 21:27That's so stupid. Yeah, like, why?
- 21:30I mean, even I knew who that this guy was, someone, you know,
- 21:34like when we were kids. So I'd OK I hate it.
- 21:39I just searched Doc Hendrix's Age in 1996.
- 21:44You want to have these events for a guess.
- 21:46Late. 40s. 50. 37. Whoa.
- 21:51Yes, get out younger than us. Oh my.
- 21:55God, he was born in 1959, so in 1996 it makes him 37.
- 22:01They're. Totally gay.
- 22:03Oh my God. He could have been.
- 22:05He could have still, you know, geared up and got out.
- 22:07Yeah. Maybe.
- 22:09Yeah, 37. When you talk about like half
- 22:11the guys on the current Ross right now are in their 40s, I
- 22:14feel like been there double. That and we're still wrestling.
- 22:17He's there for a couple years already, too.
- 22:19So right. I mean, like, yeah, Oh my God,
- 22:22that's that's one of the more shocking age reveals I've heard
- 22:25on this show. We've done a lot of age reveals.
- 22:28Completely agree. So before, before we go to the
- 22:32promo that doc hands it off to, can everybody tell me what's in
- 22:36their cooler? All right, that's my last one.
- 22:39I promise. The extra cooler show and what's
- 22:41in the cooler is brought to you by Sloop Brewing Company.
- 22:43Sloop Brewing is known for their hazy and golden Ipas like Juice
- 22:46Bomb and supersoft. So I'll start us off.

- 23:26Samuel Adams. So yeah, there's some Sam

- 24:59Shoot us perfetito music say play us out of this.
- 25:02Get us out, please. Onto gold dust I.
- 25:06Guess onto gold dust. I was going to say onto my
- 25:09favorite wrestler of this era and it is none other than gold
- 25:13dust in a backstone backstage promo.
- 25:16He's quoting Tombstone. The movie, I guess he's a movie
- 25:19guy, right? That's why he's doing this.
- 25:20Yes, I did love these. He's very creative.
- 25:23Gimmick. Yeah.
- 25:24Yeah. We're doing all that.
- 25:26Massive missed opportunity though, not dropping on your
- 25:30huckleberry. Like come on of all the lines
- 25:34because this few. May have just left today this.
- 25:36Few went along for a while like him and and going after Taker
- 25:40and he's the Intercontinental champion.
- 25:42This promo is is strapped some sick stuff to be putting on on a
- 25:47Saturday morning. They're getting to this is
- 25:50necrophilia they're talking about if you believe Undertaker
- 25:52is a zombie, right? Like he's nice.
- 25:56I can't. Repeat.
- 25:58That's right, dead man, I'm coming.
- 26:01And then he goes. Then, then he proceeds to say
- 26:03nightmares aren't the only thing going down.
- 26:06Dead man. Oh.
- 26:10My God. Explicit on this episode just
- 26:12for the content, like we're starting with with Davey now
- 26:15we're getting off the gold dust like this is.
- 26:18How did you have to be fondled by gold dust?
- 26:20This is our shit man. This is the most perfect example
- 26:26of like, you're watching wrestling when you're young and
- 26:29your parents come downstairs and this is on that.
- 26:32Yeah. You're like what's go?
- 26:35The when he dropped the like he he said a few things early on
- 26:39and I was like, am I reading into this too much?
- 26:41And then he drops the nightmares aren't the only thing going down
- 26:45the dead man. I was like, whoa, do you?
- 26:48Think What do you think Vince is doing while he's.
- 26:51Like. Shit.
- 26:56I think we're going to talk about it later because I, I
- 26:59really, truly believe that this is McMahon's brainchild and
- 27:03it's. Just has to be.
- 27:04It is absolutely. Disturbing to say the.
- 27:06Least. There's so much change going on
- 27:09here, like between him and mankind, who comes on later,
- 27:13Sunny even, right? Like you could see what's coming
- 27:16to the surface here. And like this dog shit, other
- 27:19stuff is getting put to the side of it, thankfully.
- 27:22New rockers, New rockers, can you?
- 27:24Imagine if they weren't able. Techno team.
- 27:27Could you imagine, though, like if these like the trio wasn't
- 27:31able to take off like gold dust, sunny mankind like they're such
- 27:36like I always say this they they're such a huge and
- 27:40important part to the attitude era.
- 27:42Like almost they they don't get enough credit.
- 27:44Like everybody always points to Austin and Rock, but.
- 27:47What do you think of the idea that WWF is lucky that nobody
- 27:52was watching in 95 or 96 because they could get away with this?
- 27:55Like there's not enough people to complain about.
- 27:57Like nobody's watching, so nobody knows what's happening.
- 28:00You think about like what the the parents were complaining
- 28:02about during like, peak Attitude era.
- 28:04What if they saw this stuff? This.
- 28:06Yeah, we never would have got there.
- 28:08No, it's like it's crazy that it got off the ground.
- 28:11Good point. So our our next match is Mankind
- 28:16facing off against Scott Taylor. Who's it?
- 28:20Scotty to howdy. Who is a proper jobber at this
- 28:22point? Yes, yes, but OK, so.
- 28:26In his pastels right? Like he is a proper jobber.
- 28:29So I feel like we'll we'll save the job conversation because we
- 28:34got a lot coming later. What opening remarks would you
- 28:37call it in a court case You're. Putting it on the teeth.
- 28:40Putting a statement, No, he's I got him.
- 28:43He's flustered. You won't believe his heinous
- 28:47act with Mankind attacking Bart Gunn in the back with the
- 28:52Mandible Claw, but I want to ask a question, right?
- 28:55It was Mr. Perfect doing commentary in the first match.
- 28:59No, he was. He's there.
- 29:01Yeah. I don't think he was, I'm sure.
- 29:04He was. No, because it was like this
- 29:07match came on and I was like, wait, Mr. Perfect's at the
- 29:09commentary table. I.
- 29:11Think. He's too often.
- 29:12OK, I'm I'm glad I'm not the only one that that thought that
- 29:16but. I don't want to go back and
- 29:18watch again. All of a sudden he's at the
- 29:20table. Young Scotty too.
- 29:21Hotty is obviously here to just. I love this.
- 29:25I love this is the type of stuff we investigate on the show here.
- 29:28You know, their investigation was Mr. Perfect on the on.
- 29:31The Where was he? Where were you?
- 29:34Where were you for the new Rockhurst match?
- 29:38See, I'm getting my court voice ready for the Bushwhackers.
- 29:41Or like, what an interesting time for the roster, right?
- 29:44Like Mankind, he's attacked Bart gun.
- 29:47He's just running through all the scrubs of the WWF roster at
- 29:51the time. So he attacked Barkun.
- 29:53Now he's dealing with Scotty 2 hottie.
- 29:55Who's not Scotty 2 hottie. Obviously he's he's screeching
- 30:00with the man of the but but spark plug.
- 30:04Holly is backstage basically telling us how nervous he is for
- 30:08Fatu next week. Oh yeah, best of luck with FATU.
- 30:12Talk about dog shit promo that is the epitome of a dog shit
- 30:16promo, so much so that Mister perfect at the end of it was
- 30:19making fun of him by going sound a little choked up there Bob
- 30:23like come on like he couldn't get out the street the.
- 30:25Craziest part too is this isn't the last of Bob Spark Plug Holly
- 30:31that we're going to see in this episode.
- 30:35That's someone who puts butts in the seats.
- 30:37Yeah, he's and he is Bob Holly. He's not there.
- 30:39He's a spark plug anymore. Right, he's kind of, but he's
- 30:41stressing the same. Oh yeah, I read that he didn't
- 30:45like the name Thurman, so that's why he switched to interesting.
- 30:48Yeah, he said. He was getting made fun of her
- 30:50something. Hey, Scott Taylor sells the
- 30:53mandible claw pretty well like he does.
- 30:55He does fish out of water to it, which you don't really see very
- 30:59often. I love the squealing too.
- 31:01I mean, the squealing is. It's such a nice touch and as we
- 31:04talked about the outro music is is perfect.
- 31:07And you, yes, and you can see the concern on the face of the
- 31:10children who are on the hard Cam in the background there.
- 31:13It's it's fantastic like that, like glazed, just stare that
- 31:18they do. It's scary.
- 31:20Vince clearly didn't know what to do with Jim Ross at the time
- 31:23because he's doing all these like aisle promo aisle
- 31:26interviews and now he's backstage with the $1,000,000
- 31:29man and, and Stone Cold Steve Austin, who's not Stone Cold
- 31:32Steve Austin at the time, he's the ringmaster, but there's,
- 31:37there's no $1,000,000 belt, right?
- 31:38He's. He look, he looks like stone
- 31:40cold. He looks like Stone Cold with a
- 31:42track jacket on and sunglasses. Yeah, he's changing from them
- 31:46though to goatee. And they're like, they're in the
- 31:49thick of Austin's first real WWF like feud with Savio Vega.
- 31:55I feel like at the time the limo driver backs up accidentally
- 31:59into Dibiase. He tells Savio, then you know
- 32:02what, Savio? I've got an idea.
- 32:04He like berates the driver, fires the driver, takes his hat.
- 32:08He says, we'll agree to your Caribbean strap match.
- 32:11But if if you lose, you'll become my driver.
- 32:16Like just like the classic old school like Dibiase shtick with
- 32:20the European college. Thank you for mentioning We're
- 32:23up to two on. We're up to two now on the show.
- 32:25Yeah. But as I watched this and I
- 32:27listened to Dibiase do all the talking, I'm like why?
- 32:29Why did they not trust Austin on the mic that they had to give
- 32:33him Dibiase like sponkers. So crazy.
- 32:36Because he's doing his thing in ECW, right?
- 32:39Like the Stone Cold gimmick especially.
- 32:42Right now, which is what got him over there pretty much.
- 32:45They, I think they just didn't have anything.
- 32:47They didn't know what to do with him, right?
- 32:50Yeah, let's give him the $1,000,000 belt or something.
- 32:53Right shocking term events from a company that gives Diana Hart
- 32:56extended like. Mike's mic time.
- 32:59Speaking of which, we've got the the trio of perfect Vince and
- 33:04Jim Ross setting it up for our our Monday Night Raw highlights.
- 33:09You got Vince in the ring with Ding Ding, the third European
- 33:13caller of the night. He's in the middle of the ring
- 33:16and he's interviewing Sean and and Jose Lithario is there.
- 33:21Of course, Shawn's the champion at the time.
- 33:24You know no way Shawn Michaels is going to be on Superstars.
- 33:27José José Lithario might as well be like of house plants sitting
- 33:31there He is, yes. Useless.
- 33:33That is correct. It didn't.
- 33:35It made sense. Like if the story was always
- 33:37that Jose Lithario was like keeping Shawn in check
- 33:40backstage, why did he have to have an on camera role?
- 33:43Like, yeah, I don't know. During this Diana thing.
- 33:49Yeah, I know. You get in there, Jose.
- 33:51Was he getting a coffee or something?
- 33:53Like come on man, have your guys back.
- 33:56So on the other side of the ring, you've got Jim Cornette,
- 34:00Diana Smith, British Bulldog, and they're out here.
- 34:05Sean's talking about his title defense from with Diesel and now
- 34:10how he's moving on to Bulldog, but Cornett is out here accusing
- 34:14Sean of trying to sleep with Diana and he is just
- 34:19obliterating him in the middle of the ring.
- 34:21It is just straight up running Sean down and Sean is just
- 34:25standing there taking it for the most part.
- 34:27And there's so much. There's so much in there that
- 34:30I'm trying to like selectively choose what to let in, what not
- 34:34to let in. So let's just set the tone with
- 34:36Early Cornett as he's rambling for at least 2 minutes at this
- 34:39point last night. It was a great victory in the
- 34:42ring, but I want to talk about what happened outside.
- 34:45The ring. Here we go.
- 34:46I want to talk about what you did, you stinking pervert.
- 34:50Yeah, You tried to sleep with this man's wife.
- 34:53There it is. You heard it, folks.
- 34:57It's also like. I feel the need to apologize to
- 34:59the listeners for Cornett's voice and and how ear
- 35:02piercingly. Shrill, very shrill thinking
- 35:05pervert. He has worked up into a lather.
- 35:09Oh my God, he's such a weird time in wrestling, man.
- 35:15To his credit, he can go zero to 60 in like 2 seconds flat,
- 35:20right? Like and he's just, he's red
- 35:22faced and just got rolling. He is rolling.
- 35:25You know, I wondered if there was any, not necessarily truth
- 35:30behind Sean and Diana, but like, like, you know, Sean was a
- 35:36little bit of a deviant. Like, yeah, the stuff with Sunny
- 35:38that we've heard about and sure, like it makes you wonder if
- 35:42Cornett was just laying in like some of the truth and like out.
- 35:46But also at the time we're dealing with when they're trying
- 35:49to make the click a thing, right Like like the crowd and Sean's
- 35:55fans being the click and it's. You were part of the click.
- 35:58I was part of the click, but I didn't want Vince to tell
- 36:01everybody about it. Yeah.
- 36:03Definitely, yeah. It's obnoxious.
- 36:06It's just, it's so annoying. Vince was.
- 36:08Trying so hard with him, yeah. And then you got Lawler on.
- 36:12I hate the click like. I feel like Lawler plays an
- 36:17important piece of this to back up Cornet, too.
- 36:19I mean, you just heard it there with him cackling away like,
- 36:22yeah, he loves it. Waller can do.
- 36:25And him loving all of the perverted bullshit that he's
- 36:27spewing. And between those 15 seconds
- 36:30that I gave you, then there's probably another 90 in between.
- 36:33And then he's still keeping that same level of energy as he
- 36:36continues on. And it's it's a little lengthy,
- 36:39but I feel like it's appropriate.
- 36:40To play very. Appropriate.
- 36:43Michaels, I want you to face your accuser.
- 36:45I want you to look into the eyes of the woman that you tried to
- 36:48deflower. I want you to look into the eyes
- 36:51of the woman that you tried to sully and ruin it.
- 36:54Diana, I want you to look into the eyes of this beast, this
- 36:58sexual deviant. I want you to look into the eyes
- 37:02of the man who tried to lay his hands on your most private
- 37:05parts. And I say Shawn Michaels, you
- 37:08Sir, you Sir, are a fornicator. Wow.
- 37:16What the accusation? Smile.
- 37:18You, Sir, Or a fornicator, that is.
- 37:22That's wild. Here's here's I, I kind of
- 37:24alluded to it earlier. Take out Shawn Michaels and
- 37:28insert Vince McMahon and it's everything that makes it feel
- 37:31like it. All right, Yeah, this, this all
- 37:32tracks. That's what I was thinking about
- 37:34while watching this episode. Was like, oh, shit.
- 37:37It's not. It's not Shawn.
- 37:38It's Vince. Like it's just.
- 37:42It's like 2 feet to the left. You said this before we
- 37:44recorded. I think he's accusing Sean of
- 37:48deflowering Diana. Yeah, I don't know about that.
- 37:51I mean, they're married, the two, right, Like children.
- 37:54Like that's not what's this like the Immaculate Conception?
- 37:57Sometimes it's it's it's. This whole thing is absurd and
- 38:03wild and I can't believe it's airing on television on a
- 38:05Saturday morning. Well, plus like they just.
- 38:08Not to like split hair on the language like what doesn't make
- 38:12you a pervert if you're cheating on your wife or cheat, you know,
- 38:16like like that's not like a. Right, a sexual.
- 38:20Dick. Yeah.
- 38:21Yeah. A sleazebag.
- 38:22Well, you know, like, that's fine.
- 38:23But like, he's all this, like, it's very strange, very biblical
- 38:26in a way, Yeah. It's a good good expression,
- 38:29but. We got a.
- 38:31Meanwhile, the guy's got kisses all over his tie.
- 38:34Cornette does. Right, right.
- 38:36And a a fluffy tennis racket like.
- 38:38How are corny? So then they made the executive
- 38:43decision to hand the microphone. Oh, wait, hold on.
- 38:46Before you hit the before you hit the clip.
- 38:48This isn't the first time they've let Diana speak, which
- 38:51is what's not. Exactly.
- 38:53That they keep coming back to the Diana Smith.
- 38:55Well, like, yeah, sure, she's a heart.
- 38:58She's she's an like an attractive woman.
- 39:01You know, there's nothing wrong with Diana, but the fact that
- 39:03they've let her get on the microphone and they're letting
- 39:06her do it again is mind boggling.
- 39:08She has negative charisma, right?
- 39:10Negative charisma. I mean, the Hart family in
- 39:12general, I mean like, yes, combine them all and their
- 39:15charisma would be like a -3 or something probably, right?
- 39:18Like. Excuse me, that's Stu's
- 39:20daughter. Who makes Stu come on the show?
- 39:25You know he's sleeping. But the clip that I'm about to
- 39:30play, it's it's 34 seconds, but I had to chop out the middle of
- 39:35this clip because there was about 10 seconds, 15 seconds
- 39:37worth of silence in the middle of this clip.
- 39:40But from the point where Diana speaks to the point where Sean
- 39:43rebuttals. So I, I apologize that this is
- 39:47what we had to go through, but here it is.
- 39:49I can't. Believe any of this?
- 39:52Believe it. McMahon, do you have anything?
- 39:55To say yeah. Yeah, I do.
- 39:59Sean, I know that you want me. What he does, he wants every
- 40:05woman. Mrs. Smith, with all due
- 40:11respect. Oh, that's about as sincere as
- 40:14flowers from Barge Shot. Please do not flatter yourself.
- 40:25Do you have anything to say? It's so drawn out, so long,
- 40:35obnoxious. Sean even delivers it so slowly.
- 40:37Like, plot her yourself, plot her plot.
- 40:45Her. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 40:46God. And then, then obviously, this
- 40:48leads to Bulldog and Sean, you know, having to be separated in
- 40:51the middle of the ring. And it's in that moment that I
- 40:54realized that the British Bulldog is still wearing his
- 40:58Allied Powers trunks. I know it's really random, but I
- 41:02was like, those don't look like normal British Bulldog trunks.
- 41:06They got the gold in there. And sorry, I just.
- 41:09That Allied Powers theme is goated though.
- 41:11Oh yeah, oh 100%. Observation, Nicholas.
- 41:14Yeah. I'm pretty sure they're the same
- 41:15ones. It's got the gold in it, but.
- 41:17Did you guys know it? Did you know it OK?
- 41:21One time I took Helen down into the dungeon and I happened to
- 41:27lay my hands on her most private party.
- 41:32Oh no, I didn't mean to wake you.
- 41:35Still I still. Wake up.
- 41:43All right, before we move forward to the the highlight of
- 41:48the show, there's a highlight, yeah, coming up that way, I
- 41:52mean. That one, yeah.
- 41:53So the highlight. How you I can't even anymore
- 41:58Diana heart so. Just your time, we're going to
- 42:01start talking. Oh God.
- 42:04OK. So.
- 42:05Here we go. Mike has written us Michael.
- 42:10Michael Workrate has written us a tongue twister that he would
- 42:13like to present before the next segment.
- 42:16So Mikey, Workrate. Mikey Bushrate.
- 42:20That's right, floor is all yours.
- 42:22OK, here you go. Bushwhackers bash and
- 42:25bushwhackers bump. Bushwhackers bunk and
- 42:28bushwhackers thump push. It up, get it up.
- 42:32Bash through bunkers, Bushwhackers bite and Buttery
- 42:34bunk them. Bushwhackers whack while Bush's
- 42:37wiggle. Bushwhackers waggle, wobble and
- 42:38giggle. If Doctor Seuss was still alive,
- 42:43I think we would be on to something.
- 42:45You sound like a some of those lines you'd make you sound like
- 42:47a fornicator. I don't know.
- 42:50Might be some truth to that. I don't know.
- 42:53Hey. Oh.
- 42:54God, that Gangrel shirt on. Before our So imagine going from
- 43:02the Raw highlights to our next match, which is none other than
- 43:08a match that features the Bushwackers versus the tag team
- 43:12champions, right? So before we start this match, I
- 43:15just want to read for you guys a definition.
- 43:18Wait, can you, can you just you said that the Bushwackers are in
- 43:22A tag team title match, right? Yes.
- 43:24Can the court show that? Oh, yeah.
- 43:25All right, that's for the record.
- 43:26There just for the noted noted all right, ready according to
- 43:31the the wonderful world of the Internet, I asked what is a
- 43:35jobber? In professional wrestling, a
- 43:37jobber is a wrestler whose role is to lose matches to make their
- 43:42opponent look more powerful and skilled.
- 43:45While sometimes a derogatory term, it refers to a necessary
- 43:49part of wrestling to build up stars and create a realistic or
- 43:53at least believable outcome for an event.
- 43:56They won this. Match a jobber.
- 43:58I I think I think ChatGPT lets you down a little bit and I
- 44:02won't. I don't believe that is exactly
- 44:05how I would explain a jobber, but that's OK.
- 44:07That's. OK.
- 44:08But so like, this is the great debate that I think we're going
- 44:11to have, right? As kids we grew up and while
- 44:14watching this episode, Scott Taylor was a jobber to us.
- 44:18Yeah, we called them. We called them regular guys back
- 44:21in the day before we knew the term.
- 44:23Right. They were they were jobbers.
- 44:26OK, so just I'm just going and and I don't believe in ChatGPT.
- 44:31It's against my religion, which is a line that my dad told me to
- 44:35tell Jim when he sent me a chain letter back in second grade.
- 44:40And then I wanted all those. Postcards.
- 44:41You have to write Jim and Brian a postcard and my dad said just
- 44:46tell him it's against your religion.
- 44:50I was like, what? I was like, you're in my CCD
- 44:54class. I don't.
- 44:54I don't even see. Religion.
- 44:58All right, so the Bushwhackers have a title match.
- 45:03Shocking. They're not going to win because
- 45:05they're choppers, but they come down with a kangaroo mascot.
- 45:11A kangaroo, right? This kangaroo mascot is so
- 45:15choppers. Don't have mascots?
- 45:17All right, all right. Didn't you I I wish they could
- 45:20see this at home. Has Nick altered something with
- 45:23his camera because his hand is? Huge.
- 45:24He's. Got he's like in front of it.
- 45:27It's. Like, very intimidating to like
- 45:29make this court case when he's got a giant hand.
- 45:33So the the giant kangaroo comes down.
- 45:35This thing is so cheap that he's wearing sneakers, right?
- 45:40Just sneakers doesn't have the normal like kangaroo feed.
- 45:42On the name is Rue by the way. Rue All right, OK.
- 45:46They look like LA nuts. These sneakers, too.
- 45:48They're like, not your Nikes. They're not like Jordans.
- 45:51They're like. They're from Sears for sure.
- 45:53Yeah, yeah. So the the champion skip and zip
- 45:58with Sonny in a non title match. Now let like, let's be honest,
- 46:01anybody. Did they formally say that non
- 46:03title match? I believe they do.
- 46:06I don't believe. They do.
- 46:07They do. Yeah, I think it's non title,
- 46:09Yeah. The Bushwackers at this point in
- 46:12time have been completely, or I shouldn't say completely,
- 46:16they've been semi repackaged, right?
- 46:19They are. They have slightly different
- 46:22ring gear. It's like cleaner.
- 46:24It's got more like logos all over it or something.
- 46:27The entrance gear too is a little different, like they're
- 46:30wearing fishing gear or something to weigh in right?
- 46:32Like. Yeah, they have like they have
- 46:34jackets on, right? Yeah, with.
- 46:36Patches all over them. The kangaroo has been the same
- 46:40bucket hat on as the Bushwhackers do.
- 46:43And yeah, the bucket hat. JRJR says that the Bushwhackers
- 46:46are looking to beat the Champs to get right back into the title
- 46:48hunt. But Vince quickly rebuttals and
- 46:50he says, I think they've always been there.
- 46:53So what are you talking? About that there, Nicholas.
- 46:56Correct, correct me if I'm wrong, Vince McMahon is the
- 46:57owner of the WWF. He's he's the one that said
- 47:00that. Yep, you guys are going to
- 47:01believe Vince McMahon. Thank you.
- 47:03Matt has dogged on this guy, calling him a fornicator and a
- 47:08pervert and saying Gold Dust's character is based off Vince
- 47:12McMahon. So I didn't say I.
- 47:15Didn't say Vince, that and gold dust were the same.
- 47:18I said that all of the allegations on towards HBK were
- 47:22actual allegations against Vince McMahon.
- 47:26All right. Excuse me, Your Honor.
- 47:27Matt, you don't have to respond to that.
- 47:29I think you could just give him the shock stick next time he has
- 47:32an outburst like that. Do you OK, My next question in
- 47:36this match, Jr. is calling them, which this is to me the first
- 47:40time that I feel like we've ever heard this.
- 47:43They're referred to as goodwill ambassadors.
- 47:46Yeah. OK.
- 47:47Goodwill ambassadors, right? They're basically doing all the
- 47:50make a wish work. Do you know who the Goodwill
- 47:54Ambassador of the WWE is right now in 2025?
- 47:59Titus O'Neil. Titus O'Neil OK?
- 48:02Jobber. Also a jobber.
- 48:05Who's a kid? Who, who?
- 48:06Who? Yeah, he's a jobber right now
- 48:08he's a jobber. They have nothing to do with the
- 48:11Bushwackers wrestle. They are.
- 48:12I mean Javares. He had a cool dance.
- 48:15He did that dance though, right? Oh yeah, prime time players.
- 48:17Me and Nick did it in. The Bushwackers also have a
- 48:20dance. Yes, Oh, I.
- 48:22See, they lick heads. They lick heads.
- 48:25But the Bushwhackers never slid underneath the ring at first.
- 48:29Yeah, yeah, yeah. So about 5 minutes into this
- 48:33match, which I'm stunned that it lasts this long, these these
- 48:37guys. Butch looks good.
- 48:39Butch looks good. Butch looks all right.
- 48:41It's. Sellers.
- 48:42They're good sellers. Yeah, he's got good ring work.
- 48:44They are. Butch is.
- 48:45Butch is better than Luke. Can we say that?
- 48:47I would. I never cared to tell the
- 48:50difference and quite frankly. Lukes, the one that looks like
- 48:55he's Lukes got the haircut that looks like he's going to the
- 48:58electric chair he's got like, you know, we have to get like a
- 49:01specific haircut. Luke has four teeth.
- 49:04Butchers 5. Oh, there we go.
- 49:06That's the distinction. I I did mess up while I was
- 49:09taking my notes and I started writing it and I wrote it as
- 49:12Butch, but it was actually Luke. So I needed to go back and
- 49:15change my notes. Did you?
- 49:16Yeah, but like, did you ever? I mean the obviously there is a
- 49:19difference between these two guys, but I never cared enough
- 49:22to figure out who is who. Like and Luke, Luke's the
- 49:25difference. Luke's still alive, yeah.
- 49:27Yes. I don't mean that as the
- 49:29difference, obviously I'm not that.
- 49:30Right, Luke is still alive, and my guess is Luke was
- 49:33considerably younger. I don't know.
- 49:37I I do have the dark hair. I do have a damning piece of
- 49:40evidence here that I want to share, so I went to go look for.
- 49:45We didn't mention this, but the bushwreckers entrance music is
- 49:48the same, right? But it has like a voice over
- 49:49thing like they're like shouting 1 liners and stuff like, you
- 49:53know, we. Have.
- 49:54A kangaroo like the rock has the one where he's like, dropping
- 49:56his line, his catch phrase. Yeah.
- 49:59What does it say? Did it say we have a kangaroo?
- 50:01That would be amazing. Kangaroo.
- 50:03Bite. But anyway, I was looking very
- 50:05good. But I tried to pull it for the
- 50:08show. I couldn't find it.
- 50:09So I had the bogus theme that was on the the Anthology album.
- 50:15What was it? What was the?
- 50:15Yeah, what was the? You got it.
- 50:17Anthology. Yeah.
- 50:18And then I actually found this one which was posted and I'll
- 50:24try to play it from my phone, see how this goes.
- 50:27And it's an ad, so we'll. That's OK.
- 50:30Let me get to let me get to my point here.
- 50:31I went, I went to go look up, you know, the song I tried to
- 50:34find on YouTube, but I could only find like the standard
- 50:37walkabout music. But I went down to the comments
- 50:40and it like a lot of the comments are from like the day
- 50:43Butch died, right? Like that always happens on
- 50:45YouTube stuff, right? So I'm going to read a few of
- 50:47the comments here. There's gamer legend. 97 says
- 50:51the Bushwackers are no more. We lost Bush today.
- 50:53There goes another WF tag team here.
- 50:55We've got another good one. I forgot this guy's name, but he
- 51:00says may the good keep you an eternal paradise.
- 51:02Butch, Thank you for being who you were in this lifetime.
- 51:04You were certainly a part of the fabric of my life.
- 51:08That's nice. And then there's another one
- 51:09here from I think it says extra cooler. 28 says fuck you, I'm
- 51:14glad you're dead. Oh.
- 51:16My God. No.
- 51:25Jesus, come on Jim, now I definitely have to throw the.
- 51:31What I was like to arrest that man.
- 51:35Let's try for real. A focus case.
- 51:37Back to the theme. Wait, what did?
- 51:43He say woah yay, honky maybe. I was just gonna say.
- 51:52They both chimed in at the same time.
- 51:53Creative. But it's a lot of that.
- 51:58It's like it's just a lot of screaming over the the song.
- 52:02So all right, so we get a little payback in this match, right?
- 52:06The the, the Godwin's come out, they get their payback.
- 52:09They they hit Skip in the back of the head with the slot
- 52:12bucket, knocking Skip off the top rope.
- 52:15Also during the match, Jim Ross abruptly leaves the table to go
- 52:19interview Harvey Whippleman, which this is probably another
- 52:23completely failed gimmick because I don't ever remember it
- 52:26going anywhere. Right?
- 52:26Whippleman's there, he's watching the contest and he's
- 52:29saying he's watching all officials in the WWF and would
- 52:33present a report to WWF President Gorilla Monsoon.
- 52:37Nobody cares, right? They go on.
- 52:39Strike. Yeah, I believe.
- 52:41Who does the refs? The refs and really cab refs.
- 52:46Oh God. Like Tom Pritchard is a is a
- 52:48ref. What does this accomplish?
- 52:51Like it's such a bad gimmick. He goes from being zipped to a
- 52:54referee. Yes.
- 53:00I always forget that that's Tom Pritchard.
- 53:02That's zip. I wish.
- 53:03Someone was I always. Sort of the Irish guy.
- 53:05Same same same. And I looked that up.
- 53:08I was like, wait, was I wrong the whole time?
- 53:10Like it was really Tom Pritchard.
- 53:13The Doctor style, yeah. Wow.
- 53:15So, so yeah, Bushwackers, let's get back to them real quick
- 53:21because I have some points that I want to ask you the.
- 53:24Goodwill Ambassadors. The Goodwill Ambassadors.
- 53:27Based off my definition, I firmly believe that the
- 53:30Bushwackers are jobbers. Sure, this old merchandise sure
- 53:35early in their career they won a few matches, but Legion of Doom,
- 53:40but like who was one of their biggest opponents, right?
- 53:43Who like the? Beverly Brothers.
- 53:46They had a good little few, Beverly.
- 53:47Brothers, all right. And how many titles did the
- 53:49Legion of Doom win not? That many 22, maybe later on.
- 53:54Two. Yeah, later.
- 53:55On OK Demolition, You Heart Foundation you you can remember
- 54:01their big feuds. Could you tell me a team that
- 54:04the Bushwackers ever feuded with?
- 54:07I'm being serious. Who?
- 54:09I believe they feuded with the Beverly brothers.
- 54:11That was a feud. Exhilarating feud, right?
- 54:14There the Rougeau's. Yeah.
- 54:18It was early on. I'm, I'm talking about like in
- 54:20our time that we watched wrestling like because we
- 54:24weren't watching back in 86 when they first made the jump over to
- 54:27WWF and they were like had somewhat of a role.
- 54:30I couldn't tell you one like significant feud that the
- 54:34Bushwackers had, and do you ever remember them going on and
- 54:39getting a title match and thinking that they were going to
- 54:41win? On superstars here and there,
- 54:45never on a pay-per-view. They are the the bushwhackers on
- 54:48top of being jobbers. They were the comedic relief,
- 54:52which is fine back then. I don't believe the comedic
- 54:57relief back in the 90s was what it is today or has.
- 55:01Been for Santino. There's Santino.
- 55:03OK. And I have one one last question
- 55:09for you. Do you think Vince McMahon would
- 55:13have ever sent the Legion of Doom, The Heart Foundation,
- 55:18Demolition the Rockers, Shit Power and Glory to the set of
- 55:25Family Matters to lose a match on the show on TGIF to Steve
- 55:32Urkel and Carl Winslow TV? Stars they are.
- 55:35Hey, I don't care. They lost to Urkel.
- 55:40Urkel. Urkel.
- 55:41Urkel beat them. Urkel.
- 55:43He's going hard, Urkel. Was it Urkel, was it Urkel, or
- 55:47was it Urkel? It wasn't Urkel.
- 55:50You mean Steve Urkel was, you know, the most famous TV persona
- 55:54and TV maybe the side of Bart Simpson at the time?
- 55:57Yeah, he beat them Ski. Carl Winslow not waste like the
- 56:02two of them. Urkel always goes over first of
- 56:04all. I mean, that's.
- 56:05That Urkel saved for a second Urkel.
- 56:11Urkel must pose brother, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 56:15Urkel Urkel got creative control.
- 56:19So, all right, so in all seriousness, I still think that
- 56:23in WWF the the Bushwackers are jobbers.
- 56:27This is further proof, right? They win the match and we don't
- 56:31even see any sort of celebration from them.
- 56:34We don't see them raising their hands.
- 56:35Yeah, in the background as the body, Donna's are leaving the
- 56:39ring. Maybe.
- 56:41Did the Bushwackers have action figures?
- 56:43Correct me. They did.
- 56:45They did? Yes.
- 56:47Did Jim Powers and whoever the hell you know our swing?
- 56:51Gill. Catch them, whatever these guys
- 56:52names were. Dwayne Gill.
- 56:54Did they have action figures? Catch them.
- 56:56Did he have ice? He.
- 56:56Probably does now with one of these retro brands.
- 56:59Yeah, you made. It from the card art for it too.
- 57:01Yeah, exactly. So thank you.
- 57:04Hardly. You have your Hasbro's like to
- 57:06your right on your desk. Am I am I wrong or are they
- 57:09correct? Yeah.
- 57:10Bush trackers are not out here. They're not out because wait,
- 57:13Jim, what did your brother do? Should we talk about what your
- 57:16brother did to the Bush Wacker figures?
- 57:18Back I think he took I think he literally took a dump on one if
- 57:20I thank. You.
- 57:21Bryan's on my side. Bryan's on my side.
- 57:24That was, yeah, yeah. I mean, that was I believe.
- 57:26Your dad like dug it up and had it like right in in the new
- 57:29house on. Yeah, no, it's Ric Flair.
- 57:32Ric Flair? Oh, yes, OK.
- 57:33He was found in a backyard excavation.
- 57:36That's hilarious and it's. Like.
- 57:38So much. Tailor than the rest of his
- 57:40body. I think Jim's brother, just like
- 57:42if he was on the show, he just Mike dropped us by the fact that
- 57:46young Bee took a deuce. On yeah, he yeah, he should all
- 57:49over my case. He should all over my case.
- 57:51And I don't like that. Listen, I think, I think the
- 57:55comedy thing you're you're kind of right though, like the
- 57:59Santinos. That's.
- 58:01What it is? That's what they are, comedy.
- 58:04Mid Carters No, it's not comedy. It is engagement for the youth
- 58:08that is in the crowd. It is a way to get the young
- 58:10kids to latch on to something and to enjoy the show and to see
- 58:15that that is a important part of the fabric that is the youth of
- 58:19some dude on YouTube that Jim was talking about the comment
- 58:23on. Now, I will give you the credit
- 58:25that they have never. The Bushwackers never won a
- 58:28title in WWF. But neither did Roddy.
- 58:31Like Roddy Piper has the ICP, they got title actress.
- 58:34You can won at WrestleMania. Don't.
- 58:38Don't shut your mouth. Don't.
- 58:39Yeah, Tom. Fan of the show, Tom?
- 58:41How would you? Hear this, Tom.
- 58:43I'm daring the Bushwackers to Roddy Piper.
- 58:46They are not even in the same stratosphere.
- 58:49Like not even close. I'm going to hang up.
- 58:52I'm getting I'm leaving the show.
- 58:54I'd say here's a comp The Miz modern day comp.
- 58:57The guy got loses all the time. I know he's won 8000
- 58:59Intercontinental. Belts I just honestly though, at
- 59:02the end of the day, at the end of the day I I I completely get
- 59:06it and like yes, I'm probably over exaggerating with a lot of
- 59:11this stuff, but you're the. Guy that always says, oh I love
- 59:14watching my kids see Cody Rhodes.
- 59:18You know, yeah. No kid was that excited.
- 59:21Where did you ever go to? When we went to the Westchester
- 59:24County Center, we were never like, OK, hope the Bushwhackers
- 59:26are there. Hopefully no.
- 59:28Oh yeah, we're going to be those kids in the crowd.
- 59:30Like, yeah, no, hell no. I didn't want that.
- 59:33I had aisle seats during like a house show or something once and
- 59:36when they came I ran away from mile.
- 59:41Because. I didn't want to get my head
- 59:43licked. Yeah.
- 59:44Exactly. Exactly.
- 59:46So there's two things. There's two things here.
- 59:48Tom, I, I need to say what he would say, that jobbers don't
- 59:51get invited to the White House, although in this, in this term,
- 59:54maybe they do. Anyway, there is one other
- 59:58damning stat that is on Jim's side.
- 1:00:01The Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards from 1992 and
- 1:00:051994. They won the prestige.
- 1:00:08Award of worst tag team. That's 1992 and 1994.
- 1:00:14Additionally they in in the year in between so 1993 they were
- 1:00:18still on the awards and the award was for the worst.
- 1:00:21The worst worked match of the year, which they won for
- 1:00:25Survivor Series when they teamed with men on a mission to face
- 1:00:28the Head Shrinkers, Bastion Booger and Bam Bam Bigelow.
- 1:00:32That Survivor Series match is the only memorable moment in
- 1:00:36Bushwhacker's history, in my opinion.
- 1:00:39No the doinks. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 1:00:41The doinks, the the doinks and that to me, that's the only
- 1:00:44Bushbackers. Well, Royal Rumble, they get
- 1:00:48thrown out in like a. Second again, again, further
- 1:00:50evidence that they are jobbers. I could feel this slipping,
- 1:00:54slipping through my come. On.
- 1:00:56I could feel this case slippering through my fingers
- 1:00:57here. I'm going to demand that it's
- 1:00:59dismissed, I want to appeal and I get a sheep herder's match
- 1:01:04involved here. I'm going to.
- 1:01:07Kick this up to the highest court in the land.
- 1:01:09I like it, but my but I've always stated in WWF, yeah,
- 1:01:15anyway, let's move right along because there's one more match
- 1:01:17left. Oh my goodness.
- 1:01:19And you want to talk about jobbers?
- 1:01:21Yeah. Do you want to talk about
- 1:01:23jobbers? Hold up.
- 1:01:24Oh yeah, never. I'm sorry, isn't there a
- 1:01:26skippers? There's.
- 1:01:27A commercial. Oh yes, I skipped over the
- 1:01:29commercial. I apologize.
- 1:01:32Warrior University. Warrior University, you got a
- 1:01:36promo mat. That needs a chalk line.
- 1:01:39Or. We've talked about we've talked
- 1:01:42about warrior like packeted in, right, like especially in this
- 1:01:46era of The Ultimate Warrior. So keep in mind when they have
- 1:01:49this vignette, this promo, this, whatever you want to call it,
- 1:01:54Ultimate Warrior is completely checked out.
- 1:01:56Sunglasses, hat on, zero face paint, and just the loudest
- 1:02:00Warrior jacket that you can ever, ever see.
- 1:02:03But we we complained about the delivery of Diana Smith in the
- 1:02:07middle of the ring. Warrior wanted to rival what she
- 1:02:10brought. So here's his charisma.
- 1:02:16Warrior man here and you know any academic.
- 1:02:19Institution can help you fulfill prerequisites, obtain a degree,
- 1:02:23but how many can prepare you to fulfill a?
- 1:02:25Dream. At Warrior University, you and
- 1:02:28me together can do just that Here's my question.
- 1:02:33I and I'm and I did not dive into this.
- 1:02:37I would almost bet that this was part of the deal to bring him
- 1:02:42back that. Yeah.
- 1:02:43Like let. Him promote this and let this be
- 1:02:46a part of of WWF. Yeah, 'cause it's not AWF thing.
- 1:02:51This is like a striply warrior thing.
- 1:02:52It's like in Scottsdale, AZ. I read up on it.
- 1:02:55I think you get. Like 9.
- 1:02:56You get a tape in the mail or something?
- 1:02:58995 introductory kit. It never materialized into a
- 1:03:03full-fledged school is what I've read.
- 1:03:06And then it was until 2012. Yeah, it's, it's wild.
- 1:03:10It's like a 100% a grift right? Like this is just a scam.
- 1:03:16Like you get a. Can you imagine?
- 1:03:17The amount telling you push ups or something?
- 1:03:20I mean, it was it was legit because there's a blurred out
- 1:03:23screen with all the information is blurred out and, and, and
- 1:03:28what I read is there was an introductory kit for 995.
- 1:03:31You send a check and you'd get a personal an application with the
- 1:03:36kit for a personal seminar with The Ultimate Warrior.
- 1:03:40If we, if you know listeners, please, if you know anyone that
- 1:03:43graduated or at least attended Warrior University, have them
- 1:03:47reach out to us. You know the channels come on
- 1:03:49Discord wherever it may be. Like salvage?
- 1:03:52We will, yeah. We will interview you for like.
- 1:03:55We need to know what Warrior University was like.
- 1:03:57Was it like? Well, you know, like it's.
- 1:03:59Whitehead nipples one O 1 like what were the other classes?
- 1:04:03The craziest part is, you know, there are kids that definitely
- 1:04:06like beg their parents to do this and the parents cut a check
- 1:04:08for 995 so that they could be a part of Warrior. $995.
- 1:04:14No, no, no, no. That's.
- 1:04:16Sick. Well, that was probably like
- 1:04:17Columbia House. It was probably 995 the first
- 1:04:19month, Yep. 100 bucks the next month.
- 1:04:22Yep, you got a second. Tape 20 CDs for a penny.
- 1:04:26Just warrior ripping off sit ups on the video or something.
- 1:04:29The video. I wish I would kill to see that
- 1:04:30video. I'd be out there somewhere.
- 1:04:33Warrior man, my warrior man. Like pencil erasers?
- 1:04:37Man, you're. He wasn't even.
- 1:04:40That that charismatic Nick it. Yeah, I know, I know.
- 1:04:44He was just bland, didn't want to be there and unbeliev.
- 1:04:48He told him prerequisites warrior.
- 1:04:50The old warrior would never no, this is our kind of
- 1:04:54prerequisite. Our main event of the night
- 1:04:57goes. It goes like almost 10 minutes I
- 1:05:01feel. Like that, commercial should be
- 1:05:02the main event. It should be, because our next
- 1:05:04match is Owen Hart facing off against another jobber who
- 1:05:08again, you could never, you could never tell me who this guy
- 1:05:11ever feuded with. Dukes, the dumpster, Drossi.
- 1:05:14Owen Hart's got Jim Cornette there.
- 1:05:16Like I said, this match goes like I think 8 minutes and Owen
- 1:05:21obviously wins via submission with the sharpshooter.
- 1:05:25Owen refuses to let go of the hold, which well.
- 1:05:27Don't forget Duke put the Slammys in the trash can too.
- 1:05:30And this is like different. This is like later Duke Drosi,
- 1:05:34short haired Duke short haired. I mean, still probably a massive
- 1:05:39pervert. Right, he.
- 1:05:40Just got busted for that a few years ago or.
- 1:05:42Reached. Oh, is that true?
- 1:05:43Yeah. Yeah, yeah, there's something
- 1:05:45that came out about him recently.
- 1:05:47Oh wait, thanks for ruining my childhood again.
- 1:05:50Yeah, go comment it on his YouTube page.
- 1:05:53Cursed the Bushwacker's. Now this he just.
- 1:05:57So then wait. The best part is he refuses to
- 1:06:01let go of the sharpshooter and out to save Duke Drossi is none
- 1:06:05other than Bob Holly. Thank God.
- 1:06:08And Baby Boy and Owen just beat the hell out of them.
- 1:06:12Like the loser brigade. Like.
- 1:06:14Yeah. Absolute.
- 1:06:17And this is the main event. The main event, yeah.
- 1:06:19Main event but but have No Fear before we leave we're going to
- 1:06:23kick it back to the slam jam one more time Doc is like recapping
- 1:06:28and it's. He's doing the Bulldog and Sean
- 1:06:30thing again. Yeah, you know what I I like
- 1:06:34when I did this homework, I did it early in the day and I just
- 1:06:37let it run. So I was just playing superstars
- 1:06:39over like in consecutive episodes.
- 1:06:42But every time I looked up on my TV, it was docked down in the
- 1:06:44Slam jam Slam jam seller and. It's like a live feed.
- 1:06:49I guarantee my dreams tonight are going to be just duck.
- 1:06:52Hey. There Jim, how's your speed
- 1:06:56going? I'm here to ruin it with this
- 1:06:58massive nightmare. I'm going to wake up choking on
- 1:07:01a European collar or something. I hope you before we.
- 1:07:06Have your own oil painting of yourself in the back.
- 1:07:11Like Jim, you said it earlier, this whole thing is a massive
- 1:07:14commercial. Even to end with him.
- 1:07:16He's just promoting the next In Your House.
- 1:07:18We get a promo from Savio Vega. More promoting of In Your House.
- 1:07:22And that's what these were. I mean, they were always
- 1:07:25promoting that house. They're for kids back in the
- 1:07:26day. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:07:27Realistically, they were for kids who couldn't stay up and
- 1:07:29watch Monday Night Raw and you couldn't record Monday Night
- 1:07:32Raw. And this was your way of getting
- 1:07:34the recap at, you know, and. Everything else on Saturday.
- 1:07:37The Saturday morning cartoons were all commercials to buy toys
- 1:07:39and stuff. So why would Joey Duff do
- 1:07:41anything different? Great.
- 1:07:42So all right. Wow.
- 1:07:44Wow, what a show. What a show.
- 1:07:46Let's give this a good old extra cooler cans in the cooler.
- 1:07:51These are this is one of those hard ones.
- 1:07:53Like to rate, you have to rate it on the extra cooler show
- 1:07:57scale or are you going to straight up rate it?
- 1:08:01Matt's going to straight up rate it.
- 1:08:03I know Matt. He's going to.
- 1:08:05You can't. Yeah, rate.
- 1:08:06This, but it definitely takes massive hits because there is no
- 1:08:10true redeeming qualities outside of making fun of Diana Smith and
- 1:08:14maybe Warrior University gets you an extra can or here or
- 1:08:18there. It was jarring at times with the
- 1:08:22amount of perverted and just perverse content.
- 1:08:27I guess you can say between gold dust, between cornet, between
- 1:08:31all this craziness. Here we have to listen to a
- 1:08:34Savio Vega promo. That was oh man.
- 1:08:36Incoherent at times, yeah. Oh, we.
- 1:08:41Didn't even talk about that. Yeah.
- 1:08:45Were you here The the question I'll always present is were you
- 1:08:49entertained? Did you laugh your ass off?
- 1:08:51I like at it. That's why I have such a hard
- 1:08:53time giving this like a legitimate cans in the cooler.
- 1:08:56It's hard for me to, and that's why I'm throwing the 2 1/2 out.
- 1:08:59I didn't even write it down while I was watching.
- 1:09:01Normally I like to try and take a baseline and then usually one
- 1:09:05of you, mostly Jim, will coerce me to change my grade in some
- 1:09:08way, shape or form. But here, sure, it was a fun to
- 1:09:14go back and watch and to actually experience.
- 1:09:16The kangaroo has to get a can in and of itself, a Foster's can,
- 1:09:20right? Yeah.
- 1:09:21And I think, like, if I'm going to tell someone to go watch
- 1:09:24this, like go back and watch something, it's got to be at
- 1:09:26least like a 3 1/2. And this is, I'm not going to go
- 1:09:29tell you. Oh, you got to see this.
- 1:09:31I mean, yeah, it's a fun little curiosity, you know, with like
- 1:09:35some of the stuff in there. But I'm sure some of this other
- 1:09:37stuff, you know, you could probably see Warrior University
- 1:09:39in another episode, Goldust doing his stuff on another
- 1:09:41episode, Mankind as well. So it's, you know, it.
- 1:09:45I like watching these old things, but it's just, you know,
- 1:09:49it's for our investigation purposes. 2 1/2 is kind of where
- 1:09:52I'm at. Mike, would you have it?
- 1:09:57Mike, your work rate did not like the work rate of this.
- 1:10:02Well, I mean the the work rate or the Bush rate as I like to
- 1:10:06say, is abysmal. Abysmal, I mean.
- 1:10:12Just. I I would give this whole thing
- 1:10:17so watchability is like 1 1/2 cans.
- 1:10:21Yeah. 4543 minutes or whatever goes fast though.
- 1:10:25It does. I was thankful for.
- 1:10:29That yeah, I don't I this would have been torture.
- 1:10:30If it was any longer, it would be if you got like two more slam
- 1:10:33jams in there, I'd be. Yeah, that would have bumped me
- 1:10:36up. That would have bumped me up.
- 1:10:37Well, you want more slam jams? Yeah.
- 1:10:39You want 40 minutes of slam jam? Give me.
- 1:10:42Wait, hold on, all of you. Wait.
- 1:10:44So what'd you give the whole thing?
- 1:10:482 1/2. Oh, he's right there.
- 1:10:49OK, so everybody's 2 1/2, so he's.
- 1:10:52Generous and then he All right, all right, we took the.
- 1:10:54Shot I. Also I.
- 1:10:56Also give it a 2 1/2. But what we like give me your
- 1:11:00quick high, your quick highlight from this whole thing, not
- 1:11:03goofiness like what's the best part?
- 1:11:05Like if you were to tell one person like this is the thing
- 1:11:09you should watch from this superstars, what would it?
- 1:11:12Be it's Warrior University. For me, it's the most
- 1:11:15interesting thing on this, I think.
- 1:11:17I think it's just really out there and it's wild.
- 1:11:20And to your point, like saying that like it's probably part of
- 1:11:23the deal for to get him, that's interesting to me.
- 1:11:26Otherwise, I don't know. I can't even think of anything.
- 1:11:29Maybe with Marty punting a pig into the crowd.
- 1:11:32Who has that, actually? Too.
- 1:11:35I think for me it is the only reason why you tell somebody to
- 1:11:38go watch this is yes, the Bushwackers actually had a
- 1:11:41mascot. It was this massive 6 foot
- 1:11:44kangaroo. Go watch this episode just to
- 1:11:46see it. Oh and just so to help you get
- 1:11:49through it, there's 1996 Sonny's just throughout the entire
- 1:11:53episode. That's the only partially
- 1:11:56redeeming qualities. Yes, that is 100% what exactly
- 1:11:59what I was going to say. I would say for me personally, I
- 1:12:03just love these old like early Goldust vignettes and promos
- 1:12:07like that was a highlight and even like early mankind.
- 1:12:10I think that's another reason. Why we?
- 1:12:12Landed this like that early mankind he didn't have a feud
- 1:12:15the fact that he was feuding with Bart gun and Fatou and and
- 1:12:20Bob Hawley is kind of cool he's. Sitting with Taker.
- 1:12:24Yeah, but he wants Taker. He doesn't have Taker, so he's
- 1:12:27going after all these other jobbers or yeah, they're also
- 1:12:31jobbers if you want to do that. We've said this before in the
- 1:12:34show you it is interesting to see like these seeds of like
- 1:12:38legit stuff amongst the absolute manure and I guess.
- 1:12:42Without, without them, I know I'm like beating the dead horse,
- 1:12:45but without them we don't get to king of the ring, you know?
- 1:12:49But I agree 2 1/2 is is as generous as I can be.
- 1:12:55I think I got a 45. Minutes is is 8 and.
- 1:12:58I think I got a good comp for the Bushwhackers.
- 1:13:00Oh, here we go. Disco Inferno.
- 1:13:05Disco WCW. Kids.
- 1:13:08Yeah, dancing. He's dancing like he's one of
- 1:13:11the TV title and shit all. Right, all right.
- 1:13:13Yeah, another comparison could be like a Fandango.
- 1:13:18That's that's in the Disco inferno.
- 1:13:20Right like that, that just like, you know, gets the cheap pop.
- 1:13:23You can't say R truth because what R truth has done has gone
- 1:13:27obviously above and beyond. But it's the it's the comedic
- 1:13:31relief. I think Jim had it best the
- 1:13:33Santino, especially the version of Santino that we know like and
- 1:13:37don't give two shits about. You know, no disrespect to the
- 1:13:40guy and props to him for making a career out of it, but I have 0
- 1:13:45interest in Santino. The Royal Rumble records that
- 1:13:47they've both held or hold exactly.
- 1:13:50There you go. Yeah.
- 1:13:51Yeah, but yeah, so. Hey, we got better stuff bound
- 1:13:56down the pipeline, but like we have to uncover these little
- 1:13:59things here and there. And we had to know about the
- 1:14:01kangaroo. I mean that that was the, you
- 1:14:02just gotta know the fact that the four of us.
- 1:14:04Had no clue and we couldn't be like, oh, you don't remember
- 1:14:07that? Like and.
- 1:14:07It's in the thumbnail too. You can't miss this episode.
- 1:14:10You're. Going back.
- 1:14:11To the Peacock. Yeah, the kangaroo is in the
- 1:14:13thumbnail. Whoever made that decision,
- 1:14:15bravo. And like you said that the the
- 1:14:17the the following week's episode thumbnail is Techno Team 2000.
- 1:14:21So it just tells you. Hire the thumbnail guy, man.
- 1:14:25About. The.
- 1:14:25Time He's doing great work. Oh, God.
- 1:14:29All right, well, thank you guys again for taking the time and
- 1:14:31listening to the Extra Cooler show as part of your wrestling
- 1:14:34rotation. We appreciate it.
- 1:14:36We've got some fun stuff coming in October.
- 1:14:39It's spooky season, right? We always have to do do some
- 1:14:43justice to spooky season, so be sure to tune in in October.
- 1:14:47And yeah, cheers guys. Cheers.
- 1:14:51Cheers. Bushwackers are still jabbers.
- 1:14:53Whoa, hey, hey, see you. But I want to talk about what
- 1:14:59happened outside. The ring.
- 1:15:00Here we go. I want to talk about what you
- 1:15:03did, you stinking pervert. You tried to sleep with this
- 1:15:07man's wife. There it is.
