1:12
Jay George, and we are coming off of fantastic Anniversary special and we're keeping
1:18
it rolling because that's what the Major Pod does, and we got a huge
1:22
one. Brian recently on the podcast finished his signed Hasbro collection. I'm gonna
1:27
try to find some of the origins of that, but I did find when
1:32
he first finished his LJN collection that's going to be in here, some ECW
1:38
memories, a huge weekly purchases, and of course we got a special.
1:44
This is just for you guys, if you're not on the Patreon, I
1:47

1:52
a I believe it's the Shawn Michael's dresses hope. Of course, that is
1:56
followed by some Q and Day and the incarnation of the ones, the USO's
2:02
and that's a bit of a that's from November of last year, but it's
2:07
kind of relevant now with everything going on. That's it. That's the show.
2:12
Kickback, Relax, It's time for the rewind. What's up everybody?
2:20
Hello, and welcome to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast. I am your host,
2:23
Brian Myers aka the Man with the Largest Arms in the World ww superstar
2:30
Kurt Hawk. I'm just seeing if you're listening and then what you're doing.
2:34
Well, I'm looking at a text from Zombie. Can I call you for
2:36
a second. I'm running nod with a big pod, Zombie. That's gonna
2:38
be a hard no, my friend h already and I am your host,
2:43
Matt Cardona aka w w E Superstar, Zach Rider aka the Thousand Dollars Browski
2:49
aka the Michael Jordan of Wrestling figure Collecting, and we are here White Planes,
2:58
New York, Procacly do you have any sentimental memories for Mark Wottel.
3:01
I was thinking about that in the drive over here. I've had some some
3:07
barn burners with Cesarro Luke Harper here. Really you do recall you recall these?
3:10
Yeah, because I remember this, this this building vividly. It's a
3:14
very unique arena, very small and intimate. Okay, I'm shocked that you
3:17
have any information whatsoever for us. There By the way, if you hear
3:21
anything in the background, we are in the bowels of this arena. Literally,
3:23
I think the Phantom of the Opera lives down here. It might be
3:25
a boiler room brawl going on or something like that. And the security team
3:30
is about seventy yards from us, getting their briefing on the evening, so
3:36
the local Westchester County Center Civic Center security team. I got a ton of
3:42
memories here, but they're not my in ring memories. A little Mark boy,
3:47
Markins, Young, Kurt Hawkins, Brian Myers absolutely begged his older brother,
3:53
who wanted nothing to do with pro wrestling, to take him here on
3:55
December twenty third, nineteen ninety nine. One. I didn't even have to
3:59
even look that up. I just always remember reason h to see the original
4:03
ec W and it was taping for TNN. Actually I saw Massado Tanaka lose
4:10
the title back to my Gossam was here in this building. Gotcha Credible versus
4:15
Dreamer Jerry Lynn RVD on top. They wrestled for for like an hour,
4:20
very very cool. I got roadkill and Danny Doring's autograph on my program.
4:26
That's very unique. Yeah, it's just a night that's like very vividly stuck
4:30
in my head. And then I don't know if you noticed, because you
4:30
don't know it was say anything. But when you pulled in today that parking
4:33
lot, it's like directly across like it's like faces the building and it's the
4:38
only place to really park. My brother left his headlights on or something,
4:42
so we came out, Like I said, it was December twenty third,
4:45
nineteen eighty nine, head anything like Christmas Eve, and his car was completely
4:48
dead. It's what happened. We had to like ask a stranger for a
4:51
jump, and that was like kind of my first experience I ever like seeing
4:55
or doing something like that. You know, life a life lesson learned.
4:58
I guess praying is like I just drove here from my home now in Merrick,
5:03
my old hometown shop to me, which is basically where I grew up
5:08
in Glen Cove. It would be about the same exact drive, is what
5:10
I did say, just coming from the north and south. But whatever doesn't
5:13
matter. It felt like I don't know when I was at age, and
5:15
that in pressure it was my senior year of high school. I mean,
5:17
sorry, my freshman year of high school. It felt like this like being
5:20
a long journey to go to white planes, like, oh my god,
5:25
where's that? You know, it's barely fifty minutes. It's so bizarre,
5:29
Like how life changes that in that way, you know, when you become
5:31
an adult, even though we're not much adult, says Disgusted on the show
5:36
frequently. I was hoping we'd record this pot in Baltimore, which is where
5:41
raw is tomorrow, because I've a lot of Baltimore memories. I saw Adolph
5:46
Ziggler Nicknammath cry when I had to inform him that I would be defeating him
5:49
for the United States title. As I was putting on some self tanner the
5:53
first time the tin man ever cried, you're legit cheating by dude, they
5:56
we're not in Baltimore, but we'll be there tomorrow. And the other note
5:59
is so obviously like super ECW fan boy, didn't Mark Mark insert that thing
6:05
last week? Yes? Okay, you don't listen to the pot back?
6:08
Absolutely not? Uh, I live it. Why don't have to listen to
6:13
it? I listened to it back many times to make sure everything's right.
6:16
Did you stutter? Yes? And the story no, not like things that
6:19
need to be cut, things that need to be added. That's what I
6:21
pay the big bo So like obviously, so this building was like a destination
6:30
for me and I've only wrestled here once my whole career. And do you
6:33
do you were in the match? Do you recall the match? And I
6:35
think I'm pretty positive for the match was I have no idea. It's either
6:41
like the week before or maybe even the night before we win the titles at
6:45
the Nassa Calseum. I have no idea, and it's like a dry run
6:49
of that exact match. You know, I do kind of recall that where
6:54
the champs, so they go over instead of us, So it's US versus
6:57
miss and Morrison versus Jesse Festus versus Postele Peanut job dueing Chocolate Man and fit
7:03
Finley himself. I do recall that match. Anyway, Guys, subscribe to
7:08
this podcast. We want to make this podcast spread like Rakishi's big butt cheeks.
7:14
All right, weekly purchases. You said a Latsky Huh, yeah,
7:16
I gotta go first here, big boy, Brian Meyers, Big Boy,
7:21
Brian Myers, stay true. I'm gonna stay true to the l j n
7:28
N. You. I have completed my Loose Mint LJN collection. Uh,
7:34
and you won't. You actually won't believe this. So the last one I
7:38
needed was a black Strap Andre. I don't know about this. You can
7:43
you can do your rent when I'm done. Uh, black Strap Andre from
7:46
the final series Not easy to come by, very did. This has been
7:50
such a journey as far as like and also like an education with the the
7:55
repro accessories which is ridiculous, and how much repainted and touch up figures are
8:03
all over eBay. It's like it's kind of insane. So it takes a
8:07
lot of work, and I owe a lot to Zoro Mendos were helping out
8:11
and like you know, buying figures from him and then him even giving me
8:15
the heads up at times with auctions. So this particular Andre that completed the
8:18
collection he had has one little scuff in the boot. Yeah, and that's
8:22
it. But it is pretty goddamn Chris, I mean, and it's pretty
8:26
goddamn expensive and I paid for it, but it's worth it. But I
8:28
mean, to complete this set and take it off my list, it was
8:31
like a dream come true. But then I was thinking, so last night
8:35
I am I kept boss Man out because I knew its Andrea was in the
8:41
works, and he came and I have to like reorganize my whole display and
8:45
stuff. Does that have them in? Okay? So I was doing that
8:48
and it hit me. I said, oh my god, when I know
8:52
that I started that on figured out at Big Fun in Columbus, Ohio.
8:56
I was there. Yes, you kind of instigate the whole thing, which
8:58
I'm ig you did now because it was it was fun, rewarding, and
9:01
I feel like my collection really went another level in having this, you know,
9:09
and also with not I mean, I'm maybe at the time if I
9:11
knew that most of these guys were like the later series guys are expensive,
9:16
dude, at least five hundred plus like Loose Mint. You know. Uh,
9:20
actually, this whole time, I only opened and let Breathe Slick,
9:24
which I did live in this show. Everyone else, everyone else I got.
9:28
I got Loose and fig Bath and or whatever I had to do.
9:33
So yeah, it hit me the last last night when I was organizing to
9:35
get them all in. They all fit perfectly and my thing. So I'm
9:37
thrilled about that. I was like, I started definitely that day had big
9:41
fun. So I hit up Dustin, the producer of the show, and
9:43
I said, hey, is thereybody? You can look up that date by
9:46
any chance to the day that I got the Andre in the mail. Oh
9:50
my god. Yeah, that's some figure fait right, that's wild rights Because
9:54
he texted me back today and he's like, oh yeah, because I explained
9:58
to him why I wanted to know, and he goes, oh, two
10:00
days off. I go, dude, I got it two days going to
10:01
mail. I just thought of this now, like holy wow, Now do
10:07
you have both S. D. Jones on display? Yeah? Okay,
10:11
but you don't have both Liz like, that's not I don't. I don't
10:16
know. I don't the sty Jones one, I can in my mind justify
10:20
like that's on purpose, like the Liz one, I don't know. Purple
10:24
and gold, I don't know, on purpose. It feels like they ran
10:26
out of like material. I think I think one day you'll go I'm not
10:28
saying anything at the jesse eventure with all the different color mustaches, Hell no,
10:31
but I think you need the liszt And the only ones I would consider
10:37
is the other ref a Curson with a beard, and the Liz those three,
10:43
and that's fair. But I don't even I don't man if anything,
10:46
I would take SD Jones out and oh my god, take that red shirt
10:50
more? What about j with all that those a red red Ja's clearly a
10:58
man like or some kind of production area, like I don't need that.
11:03
All right, Well, I'm very proud of you, congratulation, and I'm
11:05
pretty proud of my God damn self. I got a couple of things that
11:09
maybe one day will be showcase on the new show My Merchant damn madness.
11:15
I got a w c W big Van Vader mask. So what what year
11:20
is this like ninety five, like the end of the run of this is
11:24
like early I believe it's like ninety five, is okay because I don't recall
11:28
like an early nineties Vader mask, so it's obviously for kids, so it
11:33
didn't quite fit me perfectly. Still try it on. You know it's Vader
11:37
time. Yeah, it was Vader time in Orlando this week. That was
11:39
the first time I ever had seen it. Period, I knew it existed,
11:46
first time I ever saw it. You think business and is so down
11:48
and so for you to have the merch and have it like still in good
11:54
shape or like, you know, that's pretty good, got to be pretty
11:56
you know, a major mark to my DM to gave me good old heads
12:01
up on that, So thank you very much. I appreciated that. What
12:03
else you get? All right? So I've been h okay, I've been
12:09
avoiding telling you this story. I mean, stop by ringside. I picked
12:13
up forty five. Trevor is calling him three in one uh figure defenders.
12:20
I told him, I think, I know, I think he's absolutely selling
12:24
himself, like crazy short with that name. I think you should call him
12:28
something else because they fit so many things. Like I took a picture of
12:31
my Triple A, Kelly and Conan this week, and they're like beautiful.
12:35
I know a basic classic Jacks fits in there, and we know that old
12:41
school bigger box defining moments fits like a glove. I needed forty five for
12:46
my entire autographed ECW collection, which has been in once that video goes up.
12:52
I don't know if you see it in the video, because every we
12:54
like kind of prepared, but they're all in bins and in like giant ziplock
12:58
now because bare men, Brian wanted to shoot him in the bags and Mark
13:01
and I said, no way, we gotta take about it. It was
13:05
like five in the morning. Anyway, it's exactly what happened. I don't
13:09
think that's Mark what happened. I'm pretty sure I ought Mark tellas this is
13:13
also like my pride and enjoy it. I don't want everyone touched him.
13:16
I get it. I get it. Uh So, then I was I'm
13:20
pretty baffled at myself at this. I'm going through them all. I'm so
13:24
happy after all these years, I finally have cases that fit them, and
13:26
I'm like thrill, it's put him up ringside having the best time ever.
13:30
And then my Jerry Lynn is not up to par I saw you post about
13:35
that, so it has like a little tear in the box which I never
13:39
noticed for sure. And then this, I don't know if I like just
13:41
choose to like Macro, don't ignore and pretend like I didn't see it.
13:45
But who so uh I had signed h W figures. This is years ago
13:52
now. Then I had a handful. Then I bought a lot on eBay
13:56
of like twelve of these guys U and I kept most of them, like
14:01
some of them were like like that, like beat up, and I picked
14:03
him. So Jerry's definitely in that lot. And then I started the collection,
14:05
which I would say seventy percent if I got in person like going indeed
14:09
and knowing the guy in the show. So I definitely got that Jerry in
14:11
that lot. So maybe I just didn't inspect it enough then. And the
14:15
way I really noticed because I stacked them all, so like the bottoms of
14:18
the packagings are facing me, right, this dude who I bought this one
14:22
must have used that to test his markers. So like the bottom of the
14:26
whole thing, it's clearly that like there's just random marker slashes all over the
14:31
bubbles, underneath j Jerry Lynn and I'm like, come on, man,
14:37
I have this pristine, perfect collection, Like I can't have this now.
14:41
I saw ripping the packaging and that I'm like, this guy, he's out
14:45
of here. Oh who you do with them? So I was gonna open
14:50
this up to like maybe the major Patreon, like do I let him breathe?
14:52
Do I giveaway like he's up for grabs? Maybe giveaway in the box.
14:56
That's maybe somebody doesn't mind these thing that I'm complaining about. I don't
15:01
know, but I'm insane and i want it to be perfect. So then
15:03
I hit to the internet to again a new Jerry and I'm like, I'll
15:07
have to just get Jerry to sign a new one. And it's like not
15:11
there to be found. There was one on Amazon forty nine ninety nine.
15:15
I was like it, see Andrews about that, right, No, this
15:18
is a couple of days ago. I already talked to Davis Andrews about this,
15:20
so I just buy it immediately. It came today. I opened my
15:22
door at my house, it's I just see a bubble mailer clicks it on
15:26
the deck. I'm like, what are the chances to survive that there's none,
15:31
right, like why would you who? How could you buy something for
15:33
fifty dollars on Amazon? And the guy sends it in a bubble mailer,
15:37
right, but that's insane, So of course, not only the crazy part
15:41
is the carting was pretty okay. The bubble and stuff just smashed, crushed
15:46
to destroy, just a oh hope of mister Fuji salt in the eyes,
15:50
everything like it's done. Like I was like, okay, so I'm I
15:54
got I've already been in the process of that. Uh and but I'm now
15:58
I can't find a I need to find a good life has to be up
16:00
to Pat Minty Minty Minty Jerry. So you can't get rid of I can
16:07
get rid of I'm gonna get one, okay. And that's why I was
16:10
like, oh, maybe Jerry wants to come and do our holiday toy drive
16:14
this year. And you were like, why do you want Jerry Lynn there?
16:15
I'm like, I just just cause it would be great. Now I
16:18
understand Jerry is also so I mean, I have a great relationship with him.
16:25
I could bring him into it, like I would love to have him.
16:26
He did a Summari credit par like almost five years ago now, so
16:30
I have him back with a whole new crop of guys. We could even
16:33
like vog It, and I can explain everything to him. And I haven't
16:37
sign it. You know, it'll be kind of a cool little story for
16:38
everybody. I think. That's great. That's my new most important conquest.
16:42
I would say, all right, well, I also got I talked about
16:47
this on let Him Breathe this week. It's a Jack specific ruthless aggression edge.
16:52
And something happened to me that has never happened to me before. The
16:57
bubble, the pleassic bubble somehow melted to the figure. So you send me
17:03
pictures. I've never seen this for it my collective days. I've seen the
17:06
very common and what comes to my mind right away, ww original services to
17:10
makers where the packaging get stuck on the butts the cardboard, yes, and
17:15
bend him sometimes melts to the butt. That's not what this was. No,
17:18
this was the bubble. Like his quad that's in the bubble. Yeah,
17:22
like that had to be an insane temperature situation first of all. Also,
17:26
the briefcase was warped. That's how I said to the guy, said,
17:30
where did you store this? He said, in my house? That's
17:33
I'm like, you know what f you like? So I don't know my
17:36
man. Uh. I used to keep a lot of stuff my parents attic
17:40
in the summertime. That gets my garage. I work out my garage with
17:45
nothing like that. I actually I have. I bought a thing last year.
17:48
It's tells me that it's you know, ninety seven degrees in there or
17:49
whatever. So so this edge I had to luckily that I was able to
17:53
find one. First of all, I've been looking for this one for a
17:55
while. Uh. This is the one where when he won the money,
17:59
the band like the silver tights with like space on the side. So luckily
18:03
there was one on eBay lucy, and I bought it for like dirt cheap
18:06
and I'm just hoping it comes in decent shape. There's a little replacement.
18:10
So this week I got two edges, but I haven't gotten the other one
18:12
yet. Yeah, and the other one went straight in the garbage. I
18:15
couldn't even that's only could I give it away. I wouldn't. I'd feel
18:18
bad putting it in a used lot because someone good, because that's not like
18:22
played with conditions, that's like horrible. Yeah, So I threw it right
18:26
in the trash edge. You're in the old school Brosky trash job. Wow.
18:30
You know who would love to go to that dumpster? Super Gavvy No
18:33
Cpata loves a good dumpster. You would go down to that dumpster and try
18:38
to try to find that edge for dumpster loving son of a bitch anything.
18:42
Uh. Yeah, actually this is a very cool story. I think a
18:47
couple of weeks ago, I said something about what did you buy what laminate?
18:52
Did you buy the rustle many a ten? Nursed many a ten?
18:55
And I said, wow, I would love I always keep on like ec
18:59
W stuff like that, which I've seen from time to time, and it
19:00
actually has been pretty like astronomical and prices at least what the asking price was.
19:04
I don't know if that actually what it sold for. Uh and uh.
19:08
A guy by the name of his Instagram is Sports Entertainment Gear and he
19:12
actually makes gear. Actually, my student MJF was the same day that I
19:18
talked to him, just randomly, was at my school talking about his new
19:21
trunks and I said, oh, who made him? He said Sports and
19:22
Dame of gel There. Okay, there youre going. He loves him.
19:25
So if you're aspiring pro wrestler, and you need gear look into their Instagram.
19:30
He had all these laminates, so he I think he hit up you
19:33
to hit up me. He said, hey, I have these, do
19:36
you want him? And he just unbelievably sent me all these their clear as
19:40
day Judge Jeff Jones Labman's who I text j Jeff Jones devade goes. Oh
19:45
god, that is money. But he said he thinks he sold him years
19:48
and years and years ago. Pretty unbelievable. It's almost It's besides maybe like
19:55
two or three ninety eight pay per views, it's every single pay per view
19:57
laminate. That's wild he had from ninety seven to close. You might be
20:02
able to get the other ones. Now I have to like really get my
20:04
wheelspin into to see if I want to. But absolutely blown away. He
20:08
also sent he sent out of the kindness of his heart, a Duffel bag
20:14
with a W logo embroidered on. It has a big tarrant. But I'm
20:15
gonna take it to my mom, who was pretty super goddamn handy with things
20:21
like this to like stitch up and fix. But it's just like your little
20:23
supply bag you bring in the road with all your all your knee wraps and
20:26
stuff, and like today the gym, I'm gonna have a supply bag.
20:33
How about that? That's very cool. So I was thrilled the kay I
20:34
can't. I honestly was blown away by the gesture because he literally just sent
20:38
them to me the kindness of his heart. So they are certainly in a
20:41
good place. I appreciate that. Let me bang out a couple of things
20:45
here. You were talking about those ringside cases. I got a bunch too,
20:48
So what are you gonna do with them? I just asked, like
20:52
to get a couple because okay, I have that defining moments ultimate warrior like
20:56
THHQ or two K figure. That's what I put mine in, right yeah,
21:00
and then like right away, like you, I want to test it
21:03
on some other things that I have. So I got a bunch of those
21:06
something what else I put? I put a ton of I was blown Uh.
21:10
I feel like I'm forgetting stuff that I tested in them. I just
21:12
want to test it out, see what. It's definitely more than three and
21:15
one. I think I told Tray, I said, you're selling yourself short
21:18
with his name. It doesn't make any sense one, okay. So I
21:22
got a very rare foam cactus jack gun w c W. I've never seen
21:32
that before, so it's been on eBay for a while, but it wasn't
21:33
in the best shape. And then we're just talking to Wrestling for Sale about
21:36
I'm like, ah, let me see, I get like the best offer
21:37
out of the guy. So I got it. It came bro Usually when
21:42
these phone fingers come, like there's like random my hairs on it and you're
21:45
able to like pick them off, you know, because that right, this
21:48
thing had hair all over and it smelt like like it was in the dumpster
21:52
with CPA. It like felt so bad. I was like I can't even
21:56
have something like in my garage like with the like that's how bad it smell.
22:00
So I'm like, I wonder if I could do a good old fig
22:03
bath with a foam finger, which I've never done before. I've done a
22:07
foam title belt before, okay, but I've never done a foam finger.
22:10
I don't see why not. So I did it. They't my bathtub foam
22:15
finger figure bath. Yeah, you can't just sink job that how you need
22:18
You need more space, like you got to soak like a sponge. Yeah,
22:22
dude, the water was black afterwards, I was it was black.
22:26
Do you think this thing was a part of like a backyard feathers or kid?
22:32
I have two little kids are crazy. They don't understand like grossness.
22:36
You know. All I can say is, if you want to do it,
22:37
it can be done. But you need to be extremely careful because they're
22:42
not the logos off and stuff, so you need to be extremely careful.
22:48
But good to know I was able to do it, and it like,
22:51
bro, this thing stunk like I was almost like, oh my god,
22:53
I needed to throw this out. And now it's so that's fine, that's
22:56
fine. You said a word that struck a quarter. You said, my
23:00
garage, Yeah, do you have a story to tell you? Well,
23:03
my garage it looks like a like an Adam bomb, the Green Card Adam
23:07
bomb exploded in there. But there's a hurricane coming through damn back. I
23:14
don't know if it's actually gonna hit Orlando or what. But I was like
23:17
a car and a half two car garage. It's a two car but there's
23:22
two doors, if that makes sense. Yeah, So like to get one
23:26
car through, like you'd have to like go like one mile per hour to
23:30
go in and out like I would never keep my car in there every day.
23:32
Yeah, you know what I'm saying. You couldn't like either way.
23:34
I'm just trying to paint the picture for people who haven't seen because I lived
23:38
it. I saw it. It's absurdly messy. It just exploded with figures.
23:45
I just got a new car a month ago or so. I'm like,
23:47
oh my god, I'm gonna leave this out here in the hurricane.
23:49
So I had to make and organize, make room and organize my garage.
23:55
And I did it. So I organized this room for one car. Sorry,
23:57
Chelse, your cars car Canadian box? What does she drive? She
24:04
has a brand new like Hondas on the child Damn, damn. At least
24:08
did it though, at least at least did JTG, at least in a
24:14
car. Was at least did a cart. But it got me going.
24:18
I was so hot in there, and I organized so much stuff. So
24:22
what did you? I don't even understand what you would have done. I
24:23
had to organize it, how like where did it goes? Literally go into
24:26
the house, into the garage. Like I literally got to a point in
24:30
my garage where I would get something and if it wasn't in the tour room.
24:33
I'd open my garage and throw it like a frisbee to the garage.
24:34
Like that's pure laziness or just I don't even know. I could never do
24:40
that to my home. You know, that's my garage, I know,
24:41
but still there's no part of my home that I finally organized it. But
24:45
what the only thing I need to really do is open my men on card
24:48
classics. I need to do that. I haven't done that yet. I've
24:51
done some of them you get your hands chapter. And then I had like
24:55
three or four like big totes of Zach Ryder stuff like merge like stuff I've
25:00
saved over the years. One day, and you just need to like organize
25:03
it because there's no reason for me to have like twenty five of the original
25:07
Broski T shirt. You know what I'm saying. Na, Yeah, So
25:11
I will narrowgize maybe two of each thing, and then the rest I'll do
25:15
it as giveaways or no. I mean, I think I have so much
25:18
that I would just take. Like I think at the end of the day,
25:22
I'll have like fifty maybe yeah, maybe fifty extra shirts. I'm just
25:25
gonna give him a good will like just drop mobs to the gym. I
25:26
don't know if you just do that, they're really like that much of a
25:32
burden on your life. Do you have to get rid of them? What
25:34
am I gonna do with them? I don't know. You ever know that's
25:37
true. I'll figure it out. Yeah. I did that, and I
25:41
wouldn't do that. So you were able to salvage like just moving that stuff
25:45
around. You didn't have to like go into the house. No, nothing
25:48
got into that. That's how just unorganized it was. I also threw out
25:51
four four suitcases like that must have just had like stuff in it that Like
25:56
whether when I was like from New York coming down, I fill up a
26:00
whole suitcase full of stuff, and then I would just have like I like
26:03
organize everything. Go, dude, where are you putting all these loose classics?
26:07
I'm just gonna tow them up. Where are they now? Where are
26:10
all the classics that are open? They're just stacked the top of the the
26:15
metocard classics. Oh my god, I got to organize that. Yeah,
26:19
so step one of the organizations. She had to organize my like closet that
26:23
holds a lot of stuff because of the all the U c W sign figures
26:27
had to come out and go into the cases, and I put them on
26:30
this show. Like I had a lot to do this week too, but
26:33
I'm glad I got it done. It's important, guys, It's important to
26:36
have maintenance, maintenance, you know. Uh, speaking of foam, I
26:37
also got a w W. I guess it's f rebellion foam finger rebellion nine.
26:45
So what is that? It's like a UK rebellion is but what does
26:49
it look like? It's a black phone fingers like rebellion and the back it's
26:52
just some rock quote like know your role or lay at the back of down
26:56
or something like that. Wow, So I got that as random. Bruskie
27:00
can't tell me this. Did you get your men on car triple A Kellyan
27:03
figures from Mass Republic? I have not got him in the middle what I
27:07
got on like two days ago? What did you get him? They might
27:08
be like in my community mailbox and haven't gone. Oh man, so I
27:14
know they were shipped. Yeah, let's rehash a little bit. I know
27:15
we've talked about it. At San Diego Comic Con we ran into Mass Republic.
27:19
They had these ultra rare triple A Kellyan figures men on card on the
27:23
table. I immediately went, what the hell is this, what's going on?
27:26
And they explained the whole thing about finding cases and Triple A storage unit
27:30
and YadA YadA, crazy YadA, yeah, YadA YadA YadA. So then
27:37
uh so stupid lida YadA YadA YadA, Wow, back there every music anyway,
27:45
So we established like a little relationship with those guys, and that's where
27:48
I decided, you know what, I'm gonna let go of my my Lucy
27:52
Triple A collection because these are so these I cannot they came. I was
27:59
like, when it comes, it comes, I was comes comes. Man.
28:03
I was flabbergasted in my kitchen opening these. They are like case fresh
28:08
zombie style. It's literally I guy would assume like zombie style when he's like
28:14
he's nineteen ninety four. Figures that have just never ever ever been touched.
28:21
I mean, I talk about these figures so much in here. I've been
28:22
trying to collect them for twelve years and I still can't complete a set much
28:26
less if I ever seen anything like this, like in the condition that it
28:30
was mind blowing. So thanks to those guys, those also fit the ringside
28:36
cases or not. I need to go back to rings, I can get
28:38
even more of those cases to put him in. So I got just called
28:41
the supercase, the supercase, the super Protector, the Major Case, the
28:45
Major Protector. Yeah yeah, a little tribute, Trevor, come on TP
28:48
look it up, guys. I'm also trying to work on getting that major
28:52
discount to eleven percent to beat everyone else's discount. I think that's a hell
28:55
of a plan to prove how strong our fan bases and everyone you know.
29:03
So I don't even care if it's fifty five cents you're saving. I'm working
29:07
out of guys. So yeah, so I guess I got Conan Secosis and
29:10
La Parka because they're probably just in my mailbox right now. So I'm telling
29:15
you for nineteen ninety four figure, that's not like these things weren't like in
29:19
Walmart's you know what I mean, Like these were not like, uh,
29:23
easily accessible figures in the first But it's just mind blowing fine to me.
29:27
So kudos to those guys speaking of figures that are not rare. I just
29:32
like broke down and got remember the basic Macho Mans that came out a couple
29:34
of sets ago, and there was a variant. Yeah, I just broke
29:37
down. What is that that's like macho like slim gym style before and there's
29:44
an nWo one. Yeah, but that's what But like it's like the weight
29:48
belts painted on. I feel like I have everything, So I just I
29:51
don't even have everything, but I'm like, I think you do have it.
29:53
I don't because I don't have some of the early ones like what so
29:56
like I definitely don't have, Like there's definitely a couple I don't have.
30:00
But anyway, I'm like, you know what they're on ring side. They're
30:03
cheap. It was Labor Day. You just get them. Oh my god,
30:06
so I got them. Also, I know we had to Stomp and
30:08
Paradise Beach Couzy, and that was my favorite couzy ever besides the off the
30:12
hop Rope one. But I got one that takes the cake. It's the
30:15
Bash at the Beach Shark Couzy. I feel like those are on high spots
30:21
for years and years and years. It's possible five dollars. Well I didn't
30:25
pay five dollars. I know that that's just the funny. Like you know,
30:29
once something becomes sentimental and old and who knows and when it comes to
30:32
come and when it comes, it comes had I had to get it.
30:34
It's an obscure item. Wrestling for Sale is that they send it to us.
30:40
Where did I send it to you? Guys? I thought you send
30:41
it to us. I'm not I'm not sure Wrestling for Sale. He'll send
30:44
me a lot of stuff. Uh, and my guys go deep down though.
30:47
Rabbit Hole just weird some of stuff. He knows not to bother me
30:49
unless it's DCW, so he not that he bothers me. He's not anybody
30:55
too much. I'd rather him send me too much than not enough, because
30:57
because my my rules are so all over the place, you know what I'm
31:00
saying and speaking. That goes to my next purchase. I got some WWF
31:06
chalk. You ever see these? They look like they look like figures,
31:10
but their chalk. You know. Take the Snake Warrior, I think again.
31:15
I think when I was very, very very little, I had the
31:17
Warrior and I got it CVS. Yeah. So it looks like a figure
31:19
from the front and the back is like it's just plain white, like one
31:23
of those like I don't know what they're called, but I won't do a
31:26
couple of parties. The more you use it like the different colors come out
31:27
right, like if you like. No, I don't think so. I
31:30
feel like that's how it works. I don't think so. See, remember
31:36
what were those parties, like those birthday parties, like the early nights.
31:37
You'd go and you pick like the smiley face or some other thing, and
31:40
then you painted how you wanted. Yeah, it looks like that from like
31:42
how the front's all detailed and the back play you're saying. You know what
31:47
I'm saying. Let me go to eBay soul listings. Chalk what what bo
31:51
bo? Buy some chalk you're searching w WF chalk to the week, the
31:56
weekly purchases, the purchases, magnifying glass chalk, all the vice that here's
32:00
no good brother, I gotta good fries, and I'm gonna just like nothing.
32:05
Uh WWF chalk. We might not have anything here, brother, not
32:08
to just pretend clothes your eyes. I believe you. Yeah, so yeah
32:14
we could. We could use that chalk to do the outline to me after
32:15
the Viking raiders smashed me tonight, like the cops. All right, I
32:22
did a little trade ski with Mark mon Dragon Mark, this guy I've been
32:27
dealing with him and I cannot believe this is his last name, because I
32:29
think it's Man Dragon Man Dragon. I don't know. He's a major mark
32:34
that deals with all of us, but it's a very unique. It's almost
32:36
like a gimmick glass thing, right anyway, Uh, he found me the
32:42
kind of decently rare conan TNA figure I was missing. Oh yeah, so
32:46
that that is down to my tena Marvel collection if you're looking to help me.
32:51
The abyss Jeff Hardy Tupac with the abyss with the clothes shirt, which
32:54
is the variant which is not easy to come by. Yeah, not even
32:58
I haven't. I don't even anywhere for purchase at the moment. Uh,
33:01
Jeff Jarrett and Monty Brown Tupac. And last but not least, which I
33:06
got a little bit of elision right now, A James Mitchell. And that's
33:09
it, the five figures, the bush Man Mark Bushy. He contact me
33:13
today. He dropped me a little hey of course the opening he told me
33:16
that he had access to an unpainted two up toy Biz Christian and Rhino.
33:23
But I have no interest. Yeah, that's a like if Jay was such
33:28
a dick, I'd get it and give to him. But he's real.
33:30
He wouldn't appreciate he wouldn't appreciate it. I was like, if we got
33:34
it for Zigulary, he'd be like what he was doing any other purchases?
33:37
Uh yeah, last, but at least I want to give a little shout
33:38
out to a friend of the show, major and wrestling figure podcast legend,
33:43
David C. Anderson. He got me which I still have not seen out
33:45
in the wild bananas. I have not seen anything. Uh my my crowd
33:52
has not gone bananas because I cannot find it. But he found me another
33:54
one. He sold it to me for face value plus shipping, which I
33:59
appreciate. And that one is saying minty, Minty, minty fresh in a
34:02
ringside Collectibles figure protector, and it's intention is to be autography mister pat Patterson
34:07
himself. Every now on the road, I think two weeks maybe that watch
34:12
Along, maybe live on the watch Along. I'll make them do it that
34:16
I can do, folks strength my last weekly purchase. Now, I've talked
34:23
about it before on the pod. I'm the thousand dollars Browski. I'm the
34:27
Michael Jordan and Russell we're collecting. I love prototypes, I love pre production.
34:31
But I've really narrowed down. I've sold a lot of my pieces,
34:34
but if something is like different or not released, then I want it.
34:37
Like, for instance, my Bushwhacker prototypes, I didn't need them because I
34:40
have the real Bushwhackers. You know what I'm saying. You know same time
34:45
I'm I do and I don't because you went I don't know Mark, and
34:49
I haven't given you about this, about all the stuff you've gotten rid of.
34:52
Yeah, well you can give me all that you want, but it's
34:54
gone. I understand how you're making your cuts, but you were so far
34:59
over that line, because the problem would be then I'd have to go even
35:01
further over that line, Like if I had the Bushwhackers, why not trying
35:06
to get led the greatest collection of all time. I'm Michael Jordan. It's
35:12
quality of quantity. Anyway, I do have some W C W Glube prototypes
35:19
I've never released, Ricky Morton, Diamond stud and p N News and back
35:24
and then I'm from Stom, the legendary Stoma. So if you're a Glube
35:30
fan, you know the UK set has a lot of repains, and one
35:35
of those repains that we're supposed to come out was the z Man tom zenc
35:37
in Orange never came out. I was presented with an opportunity to get the
35:45
prototype, and I'll be honest, I'm not one hundred percent convinced, but
35:51
I had to get it to be the judgement myself because pictures, pictures are
35:55
pictures. That was gonna be my next question, because, like I mean,
35:58
I guess we can say this in full closure. We discussed this couple
36:01
weeks ago off air, and I was just kind of wondering how you're going
36:06
to prove that this is real? So it doesn't sound like you have Okay,
36:08
So there's here's the deal. There's no rule to prototype risky business.
36:16
So I've set this. What was that put those old records on risky business?
36:25
All right? I don't know what you get. Somebody's laughing. So
36:30
I've said this to a bunch of people that I trust in the toy biz,
36:34
I gotta move your phone from that device, and people are like,
36:37
oh, you look at the scratches right here on the boot. You can
36:39
see the white underneath. Because the original thinks paint the white. I'm not
36:43
debating that this was possibly painted over. My question is who painted it?
36:49
Did Joe Schmo painted or did Galue painted. Now here's a couple weird things
36:54
about it. This was in one of those Facebook market group like adds with
37:00
a bunch of random figures. Yeah, yeah so and the guy who I
37:05
bought it from people in those things, right, but like the person who
37:07
had this and sold it obviously didn't know what they had because they sold it
37:09
for like ten bucks okay, And then who I bought it from, I
37:15
bought it four I'm not gonna say how much, which is far fetched but
37:20
possible, like very possible, isn't the beefcake you got like was played with
37:24
with that dude Mark is Greg Valentine that I play? Well, even the
37:30
other Greg Valentine, not the one that I have from the toys r Us
37:34
Collogue, but the one that is now in Lebron's collection, the one that
37:37
is that Mark Busch has. Those were all played with my kids in nineteen
37:40
ninety. Whoever gets this and if you know you have kids or a nephew,
37:45
you don't see the foreseeable value of it later, So you know,
37:50
I'm there's two prototype images out there now they're not the clearest, and there's
37:54
two versions. Obviously if you look at the color detail. Uh, one
37:59
of them is clearly not the figure I have, but one could possibly be
38:01
because there's a very very thin white line on the left wristband of the figure
38:07
I have. And if you look at the picture, it appears to be
38:10
a glare, But when you really know what you're looking for, like,
38:13
oh, he is the same exact thin white line. You know what I'm
38:15
saying. It's clearly like none of the figure has been in your hand.
38:19
It's a white painted line. It's no, it's like the orange didn't quite
38:22
cover. But first of all, whoever painted this, whether it be glube
38:28
or a person, is a pro. Right here, here's the real thing
38:31
that makes me believe it's real. On the bottom right on the bottom of
38:36
the feet in like a pencil, it says like t Z. On one
38:40
foot Tom's inc. And the other foot has like some sort of assortment number.
38:45
And it's not like a kid like Woody from toy stories. Very thin.
38:47
I think that's your closest inkling, right. What about did you compare
38:53
them to the ones you have? Yes? And it feels like it's in
38:58
the same boat with the prototypes I have. Ye. No, because the
39:00
protests I have a resin. This is clearly like a factory like Series one
39:05
figure painted okay, which was the case We've learned from anybody it was a
39:09
repaint like the Bretts. So I'm not one hundred percent like, I don't
39:15
know. I wish I could do more research. What I really need to
39:16
do is try to find more if someone has this. What I really need
39:21
is there's a picture out there, Uh, the collector at the collector Adi.
39:23
He has it on his his Twitter of this z man. I need
39:28
to find the like if there's an HD version of it, because he is
39:30
clear but not super clear. What you need the magazine it's from or whatever.
39:34
Right, if it's from a magazine then yes, whatever it's from,
39:36
I need like a scan of that. So I didn't break the bank with
39:39
the full disclosure. I'll say, you know what, I paid three fifty
39:43
for it. Oh that's not even close to right. So it's like I'm
39:45
selling convinced it was real. Yes, And he tried selling it to me
39:50
for a lot higher. And then I said, dude, I know you
39:52
bought it for ten bucks. Said so, and he still claims it's real,
39:58
but he has no either. You got to get a fa grade.
40:01
I okay, what does that mean. It's like that's like if me,
40:05
you and Mark said yeah no. But so I'm not sure. If anyone
40:09
has any news or insight on this, I would greatly appreciate it. Incarnation
40:15
Domination a weekly segment where a Hart Foundation member choosing a superstar and Mark surprises
40:22
us with that superstar that we choose our favorite version. Who do we got?
40:24
Mark? Alrighty? Incarnation Domination, Andrew King says, the boys need
40:32
to find their inner usy, so let's do the USOS bro come on.
40:37
I mean that's a good one, very very toyetic. A lot of incarnations.
40:44
I mean I don't think we'll be able to I think we get damn
40:49
close, to be honest with you. So I was there from the start
40:52
with them in FCW, so I was always able to tell them apart.
40:58
Another starts first, so jim So. The funny thing is Jay had a
41:01
torn acl or something, and they weirdly like hired Jimmy let him start.
41:07
So he's at developmental for like at least six months, and everyone knows him
41:10
and his friends with him, and then his twin just randomly shows up one
41:14
day. We're all like what that's gotta be real weird wild, right,
41:17
Like it was so weird you were hanging out with him every weekend and whatever.
41:21
So I mean just just just such awesome guys, and like how they
41:27
took to the business and to see it like they were like never green.
41:30
It was just nuts. It was just they just knew what to do.
41:34
It was great, but I know, and then they kind of debut out
41:37
of nowhere in the main roster. They jumped the Heart Dynasty with Tamina and
41:42
splash him, and their first figures is a battle pack where I believe Jimmy's
41:49
wearing long tights and Jay's wearing the bikers, which I'm shocked got through because
41:53
in my memory they were told pretty quickly to like be matching, so they're
42:00
wins and like you can't tell who's who, you know, so they didn't
42:02
wear that gear for very long at all. And that's that series eleven,
42:07
a Battle Pack eleven. And also that's their only figure for so long because
42:15
they're just like in The Grind, you know that WW Grind, trying to
42:17
prove themselves, trying to be seen, trying to get opportunities, and it
42:22
really comes when they kind of alter their look, the face paint, the
42:28
shorts, the kind of pleather shorts, and they start having some really great
42:34
matches with the you know, the Wide family, the Shield just breaking out.
42:37
I think the roads Fit brothers. You know, they starting to really
42:39
break out. The thing is like they were having they were having a great
42:43
matches beforehand. They were just not giving the chance or they just you know,
42:46
you know, it's not like they just got I mean, obviously they
42:49
got better, but it's not like they were bad and then they got better.
42:51
And that's why the stopping. They were killing it. What is talent
42:53
without opportunity? I say that all the time. So they finally got that
42:58
chance and then then that's when off to the races, because then they get
43:00
those elites awesome like Neon green green, Neon green outfits. The elites,
43:08
very toyattic. I was always weird. They they would like tape up their
43:12
boots. Yeah that's like a football players do that? Yeah do they?
43:16
Yeah? Football? Yeah, I'm surprising and know that since you don't watch
43:21
football. Then then it's like off the races. Then they have the battle
43:27
pack of the Yellow and they come with like a surfboard. Yeah oh yeah,
43:31
yeah, stuff like that they come with the crutch, the crutches and
43:37
that's in red gear in like a red orange is wherever you want to call
43:40
it. Ye uh. And then right when I get rehired, they get
43:45
like transformed into like tough usos. I want to say street thugs since day
43:52
on Day one streets, which the best version of the USOS. You know,
43:59
they're just you know, authentic kind of selves. You know, they
44:01
had tough upbringings. You know, they're they're they're shoot tough kids that you
44:06
know, and like they could cut promos that are real really them, just
44:12
like you know, talking back and forth. And that's really when they connected
44:15
with everybody and it was off to the races the Day one issue. And
44:17
then that's where the figures getting very tough. I mean they have elites uh
44:24
in the white I believe it's first bro, there's some I'm looking around the
44:30
elite. They're in my set. They're in Elite sixty four for sure.
44:36
That's Day one there, like some with like the with like the red shirts,
44:38
red T shirts under like the white open shirts. That's prior. Then
44:43
in my mind, they have like Day one ish where they have like a
44:45
vest Okay, handcuffs and stuff because they had all those awesome matches with the
44:51
New Day, right right. I mean, they're very they got a lot
44:57
of cool figures, and they're also Toyeta because they are to even now they
45:00
they they're always changing their look and like whether the dye in the hair cutting
45:04
it. Then of course we have the'sou gate where we're convinced the latest
45:07
of the same space, even though I don't after getting them in hand and
45:12
having a Jay Elite and having a Jimmy Elite, I think I don't think
45:15
Mattell messed up. They for sure messed up on the packaging because Jay is
45:20
for sure on the back of the box of Jimmy's packaging, and that's right
45:22
without a doubt. But other than that, because the tattoos are accurate,
45:28
which you know, I think, I mean, they're twins, and I
45:30
think maybe not identical, not identical, and I think now more than ever,
45:35
I mean, Jimmy's had long hair and Jay's had short hair for two
45:37
years or whatever it's been, it's pretty obvious who's who. So I don't
45:43
think the twin thing is really even resonates with wrestling fans anymore, you know,
45:46
because it's like you have to be an idiot. That's telling part at
45:50
this point, which I think is great because they built their own identities and
45:53
stuff and you see, for sure, I think it's totally great. I
46:00
love wrestling them. Their pros, pros, whether the heels or faces.
46:02
They know exactly what they're doing. The best two of the best, I
46:07
believe it or not. On a pay per view, Mojo and I actually
46:09
had a good match with the USA, So you know these are good,
46:12
but they get a good match at the guys, when did you work the
46:15
USA was on pay per view? It's like, fuck, I don't know.
46:19
It's battleground or it's a it's a like the it's like some tag team
46:23
tournament where like the semi finals and the finals were on the show. Oh
46:27
my god, you shouldn't. Yeah, yeah, desper whatever it's called.
46:31
That's pretty cool. Yeah, there's a stop. That's one person. They
46:37
say they're my favorite tag team as a wresting fan, and I think they're
46:42
the best tag team in the world. They're just I can't get enough.
46:45
I I love their work, they're good friends, great dudes. Can't say
46:50
enough good things about them. All Right, favorite ones. I'm gonna go
46:54
with Elite sixty four just because we're all in the same set. That's cool.
47:00
I h maybe they're Elite thirty one where the green with the short super
47:07
toy attic and they pop with the face paint pop pop. Yeah, I'm
47:10
gonna say that same one because I was a big fan of that. That
47:14
entrance they used to do that that hakka Is that what they call us?
47:16
Yeah? I love that. Do you think that? Dude? They they've
47:21
been on television for twelve years straight. Wow. Yeah, it doesn't feel
47:25
like that, but that's the real deal. And they're still and they're doing
47:29
some of their best stuff. I mean, they only they've only gotten better.
47:30
This is this is their best stuff has only gotten better. All right?
47:37
Well up next is the Q and A. And the Q and A
47:39
is brought to you by Blue Chu. Last night I landed long flight from
47:51
Ireland, went right to Halloween Horror Nights. It was late, you know,
47:55
we were driving home. Chelsea's like, is that gummy putting in your
47:59
mouth? Like ya, babe, it's it was really a blue chain.
48:02
So she had some No, No, I gave her the gum. I
48:06
gave her the gum. Got I got it, you know, but uh
48:08
so, yeah, I ask your questions every week used the hashtag ask major
48:12
Pod. If we read your question on air, we will send you a
48:15
little prize. This week it will be the Blue Chow eight by ten.
48:20
My question comes from AO p W Underscore Figures. What is your favorite championship
48:25
depicted in figure form, any style and company? Hashtag asked major Pod.
48:31
You know, the belts are getting so accurate and incredible these days. And
48:38
besides the internet title that came with my Elite figure, because I think that's
48:44
so cool. You know that title right? You know? Long story short,
48:51
I never came out with the title on w television. It wasn't allowed
48:53
to, but it was on my YouTube show and I had to give him
48:58
a tell permission to use the title, which I think is pretty damn cool.
49:01
So I like that that belt. I like that figure, but without
49:07
being a mark for myself, my favorite belt is that Hasbro Winged Eagle.
49:10
I love it. It's classic. Is it accurate? It's a little dumbed
49:15
down, but yeah, if they if they today sold, if WWE shop
49:20
sold a replica a life size up of the Hasbro where deal, I'd bought
49:24
it, you know, yeah, yeah, fan made, but like I
49:29
think, to me, that's iconic, that iconic winged eagle, that's that's
49:32
my favorite. I feel like that's an insulting answer with how far belts and
49:37
figures have come. Well, yeah, I was gonna say I love the
49:40
new Mattel winged Eggles, but but also the aw belts that they've they've made
49:45
are pretty unbelievable. That big world title that they have for the toys is
49:51
pretty top notch. I would have to one more time shout out Forbidden Figurines
49:57
because I'm so in love with their work. And I just got that back
50:00
Digital Media Championship, which I'm in love with because it's just count these because
50:04
these are like custom job. Yeah, I'm that's just an a we'll put
50:07
it, you know, well as trick on there. But I think I'm
50:13
gonna go with the Mattel Old School SmackDown Tech Team title that we held because
50:22
it's just it's still I think, just very pretty to me, and it
50:27
always means a lot because it's our first like Big Tag Team Championship, and
50:30
it's about that Eddie Guerrero held an edge and you know, you know,
50:36
I mean only people who had it in that time? Will ever have that
50:37
belt? I don't think're gonna bring it back? You know that, you
50:40
know what? That is true? That is true all great picks. I
50:45
think that that set Mattel's coming out as soon, where like you know the
50:49
Rock has that belt that was never released. That's a cool looking series like
50:52
the Andre with that big Andre belt. I forgot about that. Yeah,
50:57
that's gonna be cool. Yeah, I take that all right. My questions
51:02
guys from Bert Manilo, where did the making a fist while taking a picture
51:08
originate? Why do you all knows? Why are you doing this? Ask
51:15
me? Are you a fighter? But we all do it? And I
51:19
have no explanation for this. Could you ever do it? There's I just
51:22
saw him on my Facebook. Uh you know you get the memories or whatever.
51:25
I'm at, like Jamie Silverberg's wedding doing that with people? Like why
51:30
am I posed like that? I'm at a wedding. I don't know,
51:34
like I do like the triple H pose with like when I'm with people.
51:37
Point the point is, okay, why people'll do that in real life?
51:44
Hey, look who I'm with? No, that's like I haven't seen you.
51:47
You're sending to a friend. Look who I ran into? You would
51:51
do that? No? Not a normal freaking picture. I mean, I'm
51:53
not doing that with my daughter. No, Hey, they're both weird.
51:59
I think the fist on the point fist is the worst. You're maybe if
52:01
you're an MMA fighter, okay, I'll see it. Okay, as a
52:05
wrestler, you know what the worst is when they give you like the handshake
52:07
and they want they want to hold it. But I did that with Hogan.
52:10
It made both flex and it made the most epic photo of all time.
52:14
So I'm not against that anymore. And he just did that. I
52:16
was. I was like, and your hands are all sweaty and there's all
52:21
sweaty. Gross. Now, I like what fans are questioned, do the
52:27
middle finger. I dig that double middle thing. Yeah, I throw up
52:30
like the rock and roll, like you know, the edge. I don't
52:32
know why I just started doing that, and I just I guess when all
52:37
right, there's so much to this question because it's like, should you do
52:40
that in real life? No, that's just weird, and wrestlers all do
52:44
it. I have noo. When someone was paying to meet me, then
52:50
I feel obligated to like do something. I guess I don't know. It's
52:53
a little good star. Yeah, it's a little different, But I do
52:58
want the point to my head. I want yeah, yeah, like I
53:00
want to make a conscience. Don't do that with my wife and daughter.
53:04
I hope not taking scenic self cringe City, but my god, I would
53:09
like to make a point to stop doing the fist and point in real life.
53:15
I'm gonna try, especially if you're Michael Chiapetta. Yeah, like,
53:17
why is she giving the fist? She is? No one knows at least
53:21
tough guy. I've ever be like life the summer that I started the woo
53:28
woo woo like gimmick like two thousand and nine. Sometimes like photos pop up
53:32
in like my memories and I was legit doing the l I pose like out
53:37
you know, like that's you're getting the kids over me doing the raven doing
53:45
the raven pose in real life pictures and ship and then look back on it
53:49
like a Thanksgiving with the fan Oh my god, Oh this got would be
53:55
some weird ones out there for sure. Well, I'm not pointing to my
54:00
head on Thanksgiving. Not for that price. Pal, here's an easy one.
54:07
It popped me and I just wanted to plug this company, so here
54:10
it goes. Gerard Montenez, junior at who is Eric Nash says favorite brand
54:21
of jeans. I live in Florida. It's two f and hot for jeans,
54:23
but I own two pairs, both Levi's. I can't get comfortable in
54:28
other pairs, but I wear basketball shorts and joggers most of the time.
54:30
What's your favorite brand of jeans? And I say this because last year in
54:36
Chicago, alex Abra Hunts brought me an ego page to a company called Mugsy
54:42
Jeans. They ship internationally, but they're based in Chicago. Is a small
54:46
boutique. They gave us two free influencer pairs, but the ribs on me
54:51
pals because I've bought almost every possible color combination of jeans from them. They're
54:58
a hundred bucks, but they're stretchy, they fit perfect. It's it's unbelievable.
55:05
Check them out online Muggsy Jeans if you want. It's like I forget
55:08
that I'm wearing them. They're like sweat. You can pay for this mark
55:10
I'm not. And they gave me two free jeans, but I've given them
55:15
hundreds. We're talking about this. I actually looked them up. I make
55:17
like skinnier jeans though, dude, they're they're like they go to the site
55:22
but wears like like painted on jeans. No, I don't know. No,
55:29
there's like skinny jeans and then slim fit. I wear a slim fit.
55:31
I don't wear skins. And these Mugsies are fine. But yeah,
55:35
I don't want I don't want to get I found it like authentically, like
55:39
like I want to say, I got like an Instagram ad or something and
55:42
got lost and I ordered them and I've this has been two three years and
55:45
I cannot go back. That's it. Which, Oh you've you wear Muggsy
55:52
too, Mark, We've talked about this on this show. Sorry, I'm
55:57
not getting paid a less. I mean, I literally give it a try.
56:00
I can't go back to the point where like I bought joggers this year,
56:04
like I wear all the time. They look like jeans but they're not.
56:06
But they're like business. Yes I have those, Yes they're great flying
56:08
them. It's I cannot go back, like all my other pants are pointless
56:14
to two marks point they are like one hundred dollars basically no matter what you
56:17
get. Yeah, it's like I cannot. If it's a good pair of
56:22
jeans, I'll give it a shot. Right now, I wear expressed stuff,
56:25
but I can't believe there was a time where jeans weren't stretchy. You
56:29
know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, how do I wear jeans that
56:30
weren't stretching? Dreamer wear stretchy jeans like which I couldn't believe, you know,
56:36
Yeah, I wear like I think guests jeans are like my favorite for
56:42
comfortable. But I'll switch for I'll try this Muggsy if they fit me right,
56:45
Yeah, con connect some Muggsy guy I found out this weekend. Really
56:49
really yeah. They're taking over the major pod world. This is one of
56:53
those things sponsorship mark the comfort is legit. You can't go back, absolutely
56:59
hopefully that he'll help you. Pal welcome to let him breathe, And today
57:05
we're gonna let him breathe or let breathe. A very special figure as seen
57:09
on SummerSlam It's the Road to WrestleMania twenty two, Jack Specific h b K
57:17
Shawn Michaels dressed as Hulk Hogan. Now, I love ruthless aggression figures.
57:25
I'm in the process of rebuilding my Ruthless Aggression collection. And one thing that
57:30
I loved about Jack's and Ruthless Aggression figures were these specialty figures. These Uh,
57:37
I don't know. It would depict certain promos, are certain movies or
57:40
certain music videos, if you will. So this one that I'm holding in
57:45
my hand. Roads to WrestleMania twenty two Series one as seen on Summer slams
57:51
Shawn Michaels. Technically it's not as seen on SummerSlam. This is leading up
57:57
to the match when Shawn Michaels was taken on Hulk Hogan at Summer Slam two
58:00
thousand and five, and this was the raw Larry King spoof promo where Seawn
58:05
dresses up as HBK. No sewn is HBK. He dresses up as Hogan.
58:10
So I'm just looking at the packaging, like I said, Rode dresselm
58:15
twenty two. So that is front and center, a little small as scene
58:20
on Summer Slam logo, Shawn Michaels on the front. The back ski has
58:25
the rest of Rhodes WrestleMania. Oh no, huh, I'm totally confused.
58:32
Rhodes WrestleMania Series one Curt Angle Sina Guerrero, ray Masterio, Shawn Michaels.
58:40
But it's not the Shawn Michaels that's on this box. I don't know.
58:45
I don't even know what's going on. It says, don't be a punk,
58:47
get them all, and then it has Deluxe Aggression Series one. I
58:52
loved those Deluxe Aggression ray Masterio, Sina Batista, Orton, curt Angle,
58:58
Triple h. Hawkins really loves those Deluxe Aggressions. I sold mine off between
59:06
Ruthless Aggression and Deluxe Aggression. I choose Ruthless because the line is deeper.
59:12
I have no idea. Here's the thing about Jack's and even mattell now is
59:15
there's so many figures, so many lines, so Hasbro LJ And you know,
59:20
if someone said to me, hey, what's the series eight Hasbro's Boom,
59:22
I could tell you. Someone said, what's the Roads rustil Mania Series
59:25
one? Jacks Like what? You know what I'm saying? So, like
59:29
I said, this is confusing to me because it says series one on the
59:30
front of the package and has Shawn Michael's dressed as Hogan, and then on
59:36
the back it's Shawn Michael's in ring gear for road rusti Mania series one.
59:40
Maybe they're both in series one. Honestly, I have no idea. I
59:44
should have done some research, but we're really just talking about the figure,
59:47
right, So enough of the packaging. Very nice package, very unique style
59:52
packaging. But it is time to let them breathe. Oh yeah, smells
1:00:04
nice, smells good. Okay, So damn, this is such a great
1:00:09
figure. Okay. So he's wearing blue jeans, white sneakers. The belt
1:00:16
is painted, which is nice. Even the belt buckles painted. Jack sometimes
1:00:21
would cheap out on the little details like that. He's wearing a sleeveless Whole
1:00:25
Comania T shirt. Now here's a here's the that's so Jack's the painted wrist
1:00:35
tape mold to look like skin I hated. I hated when Jack's would do
1:00:40
that, Like they had the mold for a regular wrist. Why do they
1:00:44
need to paint wrist tape mold like skin color? Just just laziness to me.
1:00:50
It's the regular Sean Michael's head sculptor. Well, the newer one would
1:00:57
have like the ponytail, the longer hair. This is the older one where
1:00:59
he had that that short hair at like Survivor series. Is that two thousand?
1:01:07
Oh? My God, I should know this, but don't. Two
1:01:07
thousand two, Why did you say? Yeah? Two thousand and two,
1:01:12
Yeah, two thousand and two. Survivor series is that short hair, So
1:01:15
it's like that head mold. I believe that's like a Ruthless Discussion Series five
1:01:20
head mold. And then it comes with a bandana, a whole Camania bandana
1:01:24
doesn't quite fit as snug as it would on like a Hogan. I've said
1:01:30
before. I think it was on the last Letting Breathe that the Hogan bandana
1:01:32
on that bashe of the Beach Hogan. It fit like a glove. It
1:01:37
looked like it was actually molded onto the figure, but it was removable.
1:01:39
This doesn't quite fit, but hey, it's the part. They're not gonna
1:01:43
make a whole new part. Just like you know, they just painted on
1:01:45
the Hogan mustache on this. It works, you know what I'm saying.
1:01:49
And that the bandana it kind of goes on. It works. It looks
1:01:53
great. And like I said, I love how Jacks would do stuff like
1:01:57
this, Like there's a John Cena from the I think It's the bad Man
1:02:00
music video. I loved stuff like that that Jack's did. I'm gonna pull
1:02:05
up on my my good old Google machine. I'm gonna see if I canna
1:02:07
find some pictures to really compare. I'm looking at it right now, so
1:02:14
yeah, it looks pretty dead. And of course, even I said last
1:02:17
week with the Hogan not quite tan enough, the Shawn is not quite tanned
1:02:21
enough. Oh you know what, it doesn't have his tattoo. No Shawn
1:02:24
tattoo. I let that slide. I guess, I let that slide.
1:02:32
It could have had sunglasses again, I will let that slide. It's it's
1:02:37
pretty dead onto me, you know, like Jack's with the parts they had
1:02:43
was what they were working with. They nailed this. They knocked this out
1:02:46
of the park. It's such a great figure. And oh man, this
1:02:52
is this is awesome. I just wish, I mean, I wish it
1:02:55
would have had the tattoo, but it's not. It's not the the world.
1:03:00
I wish it would have had the glasses. Not the end of the
1:03:01
world. I think for this figure, it's cool. This is like one
1:03:05
of those figures that you have on display and uh, it stands out because
1:03:08
it's different. You know how many Sean Michaels Ruthless Aggression figures did they make
1:03:15
tons, right, how many? How many did they make dressed as Hulk
1:03:19
Hogan? Only one? And uh and then who could forget that match?
1:03:23
It's that's the match where where Shawn Michaels is taking all those crazy bums and
1:03:29
selling all goofy and stuff. I mean, at the time it was I
1:03:31
believe it was built as icon verse icon I mean, that's a match that
1:03:37
late late nineties you never thought you'd see, you know, because A Hogan
1:03:43
was in WCW, B Sean was in WW. Well, no that's still
1:03:46
A but B Sean retired, you know, Sean Sean goes away, so
1:03:51
we think we'll never gonna see Hogan versus HBK. But we do see it
1:03:57
at SummerSlam, And you know, I think that Matt is pretty iconic.
1:04:00
I think it does live up to the hype. And uh, maybe for
1:04:03
all the wrong reasons, but it's it's still pretty funny. But yeah,
1:04:09
this is during the Shawn He'll run and Jack's made so many figures and it's
1:04:15
just this is definitely when I close my eyes and I think of Jack's this
1:04:17
is like one of the figures I knew I needed to get because I'm not
1:04:20
gonna get every Shawn Michaels I'm gonna get. Okay, I'll definitely get a
1:04:26
Shawn Michaels in tights. I'll definitely get a Shawn Michaels in the chaps,
1:04:30
the pants. But then this is a specialty Shawn, I'll call a little
1:04:33
specialty. So I will get this specialty Shawn Michael's figures, and uh,
1:04:39
I think you should get it too. I mean, this is a figure
1:04:41
that even if you didn't collect necessarily Jack's, even if you wanted like a
1:04:45
miscellaneous shelf, I have a miscellaneous shelf, if you have a miscellaneous shelf,
1:04:48
this is a unique cool figure, a specialty sean, a specialty figure.
1:04:56
And Jack's was really really cool with that, And Mattel has done that
1:04:59
recently with the with the mis and Maurice dressed up as Sina and uh and
1:05:03
Nicky Bella like that. That to me was that's so Jack's in a good
1:05:09
way. Because there's that's so Jackson in a bad way. And when Mattel
1:05:11
did that two back, that was that's so Jack's in a good way.
1:05:14
So guys, pick up this Shawn Michael's dress, this Hull Cogan. You
1:05:17
can get on eBay. It's probably not super duper expensive. Whether you have
1:05:23
a Ruless Aggression collection, just a Shawn Michael's collection, or you want something
1:05:27
for your miscellaneous shelf. I would definitely pick up this. Sean Michaels as
1:05:32
Hull Coogan And you know what, Mattel, Mattel's done a great job of
1:05:36
taking figures that Jack's has done and making them way better. And this is
1:05:41
a perfect example of a figure. And we know Mattel loves making Shawn Michaels.
1:05:46
This is a perfect example of a figure that or a concept that Mittell
1:05:50
could take. And I believe especially with Bill Swete, Bill who I don't
1:05:54
even know, uh, listens to these, probably nice, probably not a
1:05:57
Patreon member, But this is a figure that, a concept that Mattel could
1:06:01
definitely take and knock out of the park. And I think they have the
1:06:05
ability to do so. And like I said, they love making Shawn Michael's
1:06:10
figures. So until next time, guys, this has let him breathe.
1:06:15
This is a new thing. Guys. If there's a certain figure you want
1:06:17
me to let breathe, and you have it, send it my way and
1:06:20
I will let him breathe. And that's basically saying, oh, send me
1:06:25
three figures, but no, like you know, if there's something that you
1:06:28
have extras of or David c. Anderson he donated some figures because I don't
1:06:32
have this unlimited supply of men on card figures to open. It may seem
1:06:36
like I do, but I don't. And I'm not gonna guys like I
1:06:39
have Kamala moon Belly. I'm not gonna let Kamala Moonbelly just breathe for the
1:06:42
sake of this podcast. Guys, you know so, and trust me,
1:06:45
I have enough figures for now. But if there's anything that you let's say,
1:06:48
you have something in your garage or you don't want you want me to
1:06:50
let him breathe, I'll get a shout out on the pod, and you
1:06:54
know what, I'll make it worth your wife. I'll trade you a best
1:06:56
wishes eight by ten. So, guys, until next time, I am
1:07:00
Macardona the Mister twenty three and until next time, let him bead Major Marks
1:07:08
