Beside for the show First Sessions Podcast Big
Cat In Control Strong and professional Welcome,
welcome, welcome to another episode of Per Sessions
Wrestling Podcast. I'm your host, the main of
main, Big Cat Tyler Adams. Sorry, let's just
make sure my mic is actually on. And of course,
you can catch us live usually every Friday, 9
p .m. Eastern Standard Time. But because of this
whole three weeks of bullshit of holidays and
shows, that's awesome. I love the tiki. We are
doing some things a little different. We're also
doing a lot of things different, too. I'll explain
in a minute. But I'm your host, the main of main,
Big Cat Tyler Adams. Of course, I'm here with
Dylan Nix, the nautical nightmare. Everybody
else decided they were sick. Well, to be fair,
JP does have a child, and the child is sick.
I'm just kidding. He's going to be the next one
to break into your house and beat your ass. Right,
exactly. Jesus. So I apologize. Also, I just
literally got home and threw all this shit together
because I figured that I would be back by noon
one, two o 'clock today. And then that never
fucking happened. And I left the house at seven.
So, um, yeah, I got it. Oh shit. We're a professional
podcast. But anyways, so if you can't watch the
live show, you can always listen to us on audio
podcast. We are, of course, on every audio podcast,
Spotify, Apple podcast, you name it. You know,
we got it. And if you haven't noticed, we're
trying something different. If you haven't noticed,
we're also silently silent. Simultaneously casting.
Simultaneously casting. Thank you. To Rumble.
Because YouTube hates us and we can't watch anything
WWE related. To be fair, it doesn't hate us.
YouTube has no problem with us. WWE hates everyone
that uses their stuff. Apparently. They're like,
you want to use our shit? Do that. So what's
going to happen is I think I can do this. Hopefully.
without having to start a whole new stream. Here's
where we get blocked in Russia. Of course, we're
live on YouTube. Oh, headache in the glass. We're
going to be live on YouTube for about 45 minutes
or so just because I want to give our YouTube
members some love. Then we're going to finish
the show on Rumble where we can actually watch
wrestling and not get in trouble for watching
wrestling. we need to watch a rumble on rumble
that's what i'm saying like we gotta watch a
royal rumble on rumble the problem is i watch
all the royal rumbles when i work out so like
i watch like at least half a royal rumble so
i've seen everyone from 89 to like 2000 like
2020 like 2016 2017 and i my problem is i remember
who won all them all so it's no fun because i'm
like oh yeah this is the guy that comes out and
wins it god damn it like 92 i know it's gonna
be rick flair and like 91's hogan 90s hogan No,
91's Hogan. 90 is... I remember 1 and 90, actually.
I can't remember. I think it was 90 that Axe
and Smash started 1 and 2, though. That was pretty
funny. The only thing, though, I think of Rumble
is that you can't watch... Of course, you can't
even watch any live broadcasts. They do not like
that, which is okay. We'll see. We'll probably
test the boundaries of that if we got some breaking
news during the Rumble stuff. And we can't watch
pay -per -views. Live pay -per -views. I think
we can watch previous ones, just not a day pay
-per -views. I'm not 100 % sure of that, but
I'm pretty sure that's like their only ruling.
It's just basically Rumble is just seems like
it's just way easier for us to, you know. visualize
and show you guys the show and see what we're
talking about without having me to just you see
a picture and then audio because that's the only
way that we can be on YouTube. It's like, oh,
you played three seconds of Adam Cole's music
from ROH in 2004. Denied. Exactly. That's 100
% what it is. Even though the show is thrown
together at last second, it's going to be a good
show. We've got some stuff to talk about. Do
you want to talk about... I haven't checked if
it's actually posted, but we've got some sad
news about MEW. Do you want to talk about that?
I will happily talk about that because I personally
talked to Mike Turner today about that. Before
we get into that... Friday we were supposed to
have off because everyone had to show. There's
no longer a show. Do you want to get into that
and then I'll find the post. Quick and dirty
explanation. I'm not going to get into all the
nuances. Mike did post something today and it
was a book because he said he wanted to in his
words to me because we talked for a half hour
today and he said he wanted to make sure that
everyone knew what was going on. um basically
what it is is uh wrestling shows not cheap talked
about it a couple weeks ago when i was joking
about running my own show it is not to run a
show mike's been constantly running for about
like he came back just after the pandemic um
let's say 2023 he started really 2022 2020 he
started really coming back and he's been running
pretty constantly since Um, this last year he's
had some Jews. Unfortunately, his, his mom passed
away. His dad's in hospice, I believe. Um, you
know, he had some health scares and just stuff
happens. You know, uh, I, I don't get mad at
people for stuff happening. Honestly, it, it's
not my life. I'm not in control of it. It's their
life. As long as I kind of have an inkling what's
going on. I'm like, okay, cool. Um, so what ended
up happening is Mike sponsors. um kind of ended
up going we're gonna go in new directions one
of them was uh one of them decided um with everything
going on with um that's my heater by the way
if you guys work with this um this room is not
heated so it gets a little chilly um yeah so
with sponsors um one of the sponsors ended up
going um and donating all their money to loaves
and fish i believe is the name of the charity
it's a food charity here in maine um to help
families when no one knew what the hell was going
to go on with food stamps. Just political society.
No one had food stamps for a few minutes, so
it was kind of freaky. The money needed to be
donated to something more. The money needed to
be donated somewhere else. A couple of his other
sponsors did the same thing. They're like, we
want to go in a new direction. Mike was like,
okay, you could have told me this a month ago
when I reached out to you a month ago. They're
like, eh. And so he reached out to all of us
yesterday, I believe it was. And he's like, hey,
guys, look. And laid it all out in line. He's
like, this is what's going on. I'm canceling
all MEW shows for the foreseeable, for upcoming
and foreseeable future. Now, what makes me sad
about that, and I'm going to just, for me personally,
this is just my thing with MEW. Mike was one
of the first ones to really take a chance on
me. Now I get to work at a lot of other places
before MEW. But Mike's the first one to take
a chance on me and go, here, I want you to be
my champion. I'm not talking just the mainstay
title. I actually was the heavyweight champion.
I never got a shot back at that, by the way.
Eric Johnson. Eric Johnson. Yeah! Yeah, Eric's
going to watch this and be like, fuck you guys.
But no, seriously. For me, it's losing a part
of my personal history. It really sucks. Because
I really liked working there. One reason, it's
10 minutes from my house. So it's straight down
the road for me. But the second reason is, like
I said, it gave me an opportunity to really...
That's where I really started figuring out who
the hell Dylan Nix was. I started growing there.
Because I got to play... I get to just kind of
be a little bit more and, you know, I wasn't,
you know, I love being a tag team wrestler. Do
not get me wrong, but it gave me, it started
like really showing me what I could do for singles.
And then, you know, I get to go to like, you
know, let's and do some more stuff there. And
I got to go to, uh, he, uh, MPW down on NAWA.
And, you know, you, you work on the stuff and,
you know, it's nice. And it's one less place
for us to go and work now. Right. And that's,
that does suck. I didn't do a lot of shows at
MEW. I did do quite a few though. I didn't get
booked for like the last almost year now, but
that's nothing to do with that. Just more of
other people that have priority than me, which
is like, again, that's not me. Like, well, yeah,
shit like that. No, there was storylines and
shit like that going on. So yeah, the wild did
their thing. And then. Were you grabbing more
beer? Is that what you said? No, no, no. I was
turning off my heater. It's like this blast in
here. I'm like, it's actually too warm. And I'm
like, Oh my God, it's getting a little hot. But
yeah, I really enjoyed working for a W and it
does suck again. Like you said, it's a, another
place that we, that's closed down that. And I'm
going to throw this out there too. I know right
now we probably, we probably don't have anyone
listening live and that's fine, but we do have
people. I did tell me very often. Actually, I
see my shows. Hey man, I catch a show on Saturday.
where i'll catch when the new upload comes you
know which is great hi guys thank you for listening
we love you guys exactly thank you but i'm gonna
i'm gonna throw this out there to the ethers
one of the things that eric said at ring wars
um which we'll talk about ring wars here in a
few minutes is everyone's having trouble selling
tickets right now now i get it it's that time
of year it's we're going into christmas i i get
where people's money's going trust me i get it
um And I get, it's also kind of rough this year.
A lot of people are like scraping and, but if
you have a chance to come out and support indie
wrestling, if you have a chance to come out and
give us $20 and then, you know, you don't have
to buy our merch. It's nice for us to buy merch
from us. Trust me. We love it, but come support
the show. If you can come out for five minutes
and come out, watch the show. You never know
who you're going to see in the shows too. Yeah,
we try to advertise the big names and stuff like,
you know if we have an AG or if we have like
Barrett Bronson or like Gabby or you know, one
of the big names, you know, like I get DDP sit
behind me if DDP showed up We definitely advertise
DDP. Oh my god. Yeah, but you don't know who
in five years is gonna be up in TNA It was gonna
be up in WWE who's gonna be over an AEW. You
don't know you never know So you could be like
you could get lucky and be like, yo, I saw that
guy wet. Heck MJF met him before AEW You know,
I mean, yeah, he's limitless champion. So, you
know, he was getting big at the time, but he
wasn't quite up there. He wasn't here yet, but
he's definitely here now. So Casanova is a big
Casanova. He just, he just wrestled Gunther on
Monday Night Raw, you know, and he was our, he
was our champion limitless. So, you know, MJF,
AEW, you know, so you never know who's going
to show up. I'm not saying you have to come to
every show in any way, shape or form. Trust me,
it gets expensive. and it does get a little bit
chaotic when there's like the last there's five
shows there's gonna be five shows in two weeks
You're in the Bangor, Brewer, Ellsworth, Franklin
area. That's a little chaotic. It does get a
little oversaturated. We do get it. Trust us.
We love working for you guys. You can't be at
every show, but try to support it. This is the
one time I wish that WWE was doing so shit because
that's why indie wrestling was so good because
WWE's product was so bad. Let's actually see
what wrestling looks like because we remember
what... Or as Cousin Larry would say, the wrestling.
Wrestling, yeah. So I got the whole, which is
why I put my glasses on. Don't read the whole
thing. It is a book. Yeah, I'm not going to read
the whole thing. But I'm just going to share
my screen. So basically, this is just Mike talking
about pretty much the stuff I just said. He has
been running for six years, which is pretty cool.
He ran for a little bit, had to take a little
bit of time off, and came back. When he came
back is when we really picked it up and kept
it going. Franklin was fun, man. Franklin was
great. What I love about Franklin is, you know,
wrestle the match, there's always pretty good
food, and there was a bar attached to the venue.
Yeah, that was nice. There was an AM Met Club,
so there was definitely a bar, and the bartenders
were trained bartenders. They were just like,
you want a rum and coke? Okay! Yeah! This much
rum, this much coke. Yeah! I can drink two of
those before I die. They're saying it's very
unfortunate, but we have announced that main
event wrestling and bell -to -bell promotions,
which is kind of funny. It's the same thing.
We'll be closing their doors. This decision did
not come without a great deal of sadness and
stress. We haven't... No, because we just did
Ring Wars. Yeah, we just did Ring Wars. I even
pulled you aside. I think Mike's not going to
be running because he looked extremely down and
tired at the event. I'm like, oh shit. I even
asked you, is he okay? Is that what's going on?
Like I said, I had a conversation with him today.
It was a good conversation. He wants to do stuff
in the future and he's got an idea about stuff
he wants to do in the future. and hopefully everything
comes to fruition for him because, like I said,
I like working with the guy. I think he's a pretty
good guy. When you first meet Mike, he comes
off a little weird, but as time goes on, you're
like, oh, okay, cool. He likes to have fun. Like
I said, the support thing, you see the word is
very low ticket sales, and it's not just him.
No, it's not. It's everywhere. And PW's having
the same issues. He said the same thing about
Ring Wars. That and also venues. It's insane.
Well, it's not only that. It's also getting more
expensive and they're requiring you to have insurance
and all that stuff. Even Eric said if the Fairfield
Is it Fairfield? Yeah, Fairfield for IWE. IWE,
yeah. He is the only one that's allowed to book
that show now. Which is weird because you think
Larry would still be allowed in there. Right,
exactly. And the only reason why he got it is
because of the years of IWE and knowing the people
there that's on that committee that banned it.
Yeah, but it is crazy that Larry wasn't able
to get into that. Larry's been there forever
and a freaking day, too. Yeah. He might have
pissed him off or something like that. I don't
know. It's Larry. Who knows? It's been a blast
over the past six years in main event wrestling,
and we tried to do our best to bring pro wrestling
to the Franklin area. We want to thank Franklin
Veterans Club for allowing us to hold our events
and have a home within. He did raise like $4
,000 for kids for Christmas, by the way. That
was pretty cool. That's awesome. That's awesome.
I don't know where he donated or who he donated
to, but I know he did raise the money. Helped
almost 200 families with Thanksgiving and Christmas
this year. That's awesome. That's legit. I'm
glad that happened. This is something we wanted
to do, but it's the best in our team at this
time. We strongly urge that if you are a fan
of pro wrestling. the state of Maine, and just
looking for something different to do, that you
attend these events as things like this can happen
to anyone before you know it's gone. Many great
promotions throughout the state, Maine Ring Wars,
MPW, Crown of Maine, NAWA, Global, and likeness,
limitless. Support these guys or any that comes
along. that's legit he actually called out everyone
in the state like yo guys go support we're not
here that doesn't mean these guys aren't you
know unlike new york we actually you know try
to take care of each other this is promotions
and shit like that um mass is kind of like that
too mass has some uh they have the same thing
we've got where they've got one or two really
really big things There's a lot of little ones.
Chaotic and beyond. That's the biggest ones.
Sometimes they look down on the little ones.
When you've got a little one that decides to
run 10 minutes away from your fucking biggest
one. I'm not talking about that one. Speaking
of that one, Kat. Honestly, I give him kudos
that he's still fucking running. yeah i am honestly
surprised that he's still running with all the
bullshit that it's been going on i am honestly
surprised i don't i talked to johnny pierce about
that i'm like how and he's like oh apparently
everybody left that group chat and yeah i saw
that yeah other people that have also decided
fuck this and left we're talking we're gonna
be like they're not spelling the d no we're not
because we have reasons not to but Yeah, no,
it's crazy. But no, Mike, man, I'm just going
to say all the luck to you. Seriously, I really
hope your future, everything goes well. It just,
like I said, it sucks because it's one less place
for us to work. You know, it's not, we don't
have... It's becoming more and more of an option.
Yeah, well, yeah, because it's a hell of a drive
for us. I mean, Maine is huge. So to get out
of Maine takes three and a half hours just for
a month. Well, for you, it takes three and a
half. For me, it takes an extra 45 minutes. Well,
I'm saying that's in the center. That's not talking
about if you're living up in Crown, where Crown
runs or anything like that. If you're coming
from the top of the state. Yeah. Okay, so let
me explain something, kids. From the top to the
bottom of the state is six hours. Try to add
to that. Really? I'm from Fort Kent, dude, originally.
From Fort Kent. to Kennebunk, or to Kennebunkport,
or to Kennebunk. That's the bottom of the state.
That's right at the border. That is an eight
and a half hour drive. Oh, okay. Yeah. That is
the complete drive of the state. That's going
from Route 11 to 95. And that's without stopping.
Back to 95. And that's without stopping and taking
a piss. Yeah, exactly. And trust me. You're going
to want a Red Bull. You're going to want to stop
and take a break. You're going to want a burger
at some point. My dad used to stop at the Burger
King coming into the state. We'd get food, and
then he would drive us away. He was insane. When
I traveled to Portland, I always stopped at the
Gardner. They always had Popeyes. Yep. And at
that time, that was the closest place you can
get Popeyes. Anytime I run with Ben, we stop
in Fairfield, actually, at the Irving. You go
up the hill and the Irving's right to the right
right there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We always get Subway.
Quick fun side story. Speaking of out of state,
me, Ben, and Jess, I think Scratch was with us.
It might have just been me, Ben, and Jess. I
can't remember. And we're going, and we go up,
and we take the left, and we go boom, boom, boom,
walk in there, start getting food. And all of
a sudden, I hear, hey, turn around. There's Amber
Jossie behind us. They were going to Chaotic.
We were going to NCW. So we were both going downstairs
to different shows. It was just funny as shit.
Yeah, it's always kind of funny. It's like, what
the fuck are you doing here? It's like, I could
ask you the same question. It's like, everyone's
going to a show, just not the same one. And that's
actually, I did bring that up. um i don't know
if i brought that up with you guys on the chat
or if i brought it up with the girlfriend but
it really sucks because there's like there's
levels of wrestling um for you guys i don't know
independent wrestling does have levels to it
um you get guys in here and you got guys up here
and i feel i'm somewhere here you know so you
don't get to work all the shows you know what
i'm saying like i can't go work i can if i was
booked but i probably won't get booked to work
like a chaotic and that's fine. I'm not upset
about that, but it sucks that we lose a space
here where we can work. Right. I don't know if
this is true or not, so this is the other thing
I wanted to talk about. There's been a lot of
posts about Hitman, the game, apparently getting
a DLC. i doubt it but i i doubt it too the memes
are funny oh yeah um welcome to the world of
ai kids that's could be true so like there's
a bunch of talk about this like i said it's probably
fake but like there's there's this thing that
i sent to the group um that uh that you would
have a mission where you uh you have to kill
goldberg as brett the hitman art um he was bill
goldberg all along just sit like that but i've
seen multiple stuff about it i'm trying to find
more information like i have about it i don't
yeah i don't know how real it is it would be
funny as hell but yeah first of all here's the
thing here's how actually here's how i know it's
not real goldberg would not give his likeness
to get killed by heart Goldberg would never watch.
Goldberg would be like, I'm a superhero. I can't
get killed by Pink Man. That's 100 % true. I
can see that. I've just been seeing a bunch of
fucking memes about it. About Hitman and WWE
related DLC that's coming out. It's just funny
just to think about like what could be like some
of the missions like fucking just having like
a... Or something like that. Or like walking
in with like find Dominic Mysterio and blame
him for something or whatever. Hit the five moves
of doom on Steve Austin. Right, exactly. It's
funny because I never realized how much... Brett
is a good, good wrestler. Do not get me wrong.
Brett can wrestle with anyone. But his comeback
was the same fight he moves every time. We can
agree to disagree. No, Brett was great in the
ring. His personality is a little lacking, but
he was great in the ring. I think Sean was a
better all -around guy. His promos were better
than his wrestling. No, other way around. 100%.
For Brett? For Brett, yes. You think his promos
are shit? I didn't see his promos were shit.
I just said his in -ring work is better than
his promos. I thought his promos were fucking
great. No, no. When he was a heel, his promos
were good. His face promos were... But no, Shawn
is the better all -around guy. Definitely. Oh,
yeah. Shawn is definitely on the Mount Rushmore's
of wrestling. Triple H. Game. Shawn Michaels,
Ric Flair. I fucking hate Hogan. Hogan's wrestling
with shit. His promos are great, though, but
his wrestling with shit. I don't know, man. Austin.
Austin. Austin. Yeah. The thing with wrestling
is you can't really do a Mount Rushmore like
the greatest of all time because it depends what
generation you're into. That's true. The 70s
is a completely different animal than the 80s.
The 80s is a different animal than the 90s. The
90s is a completely different animal than the
70s. The 70s was just gimmicks, though. You had
Trash Man and Scarge and Slaughter. That was
the 90s. So that was the 80s into the 90s. The
70s were kind of... Doink the Clown. A little
more serious. How far back did you think Doink
the Clown is, dude? Doink the Clown was in 1995.
Really? Yes. Doink the Clown debuted in 93. Now
I have to look at the 70s. Oh, my God. Superstar
Billy Graham. Is it WWWF? No, it was WWWF at
the time. I think it shifted to WWWF in late
70s, if I remember correctly. Now my wrestling
knowledge is starting to hurt my brain. We have
Big Daddy, Mr. Wrestler. Yeah, there was gimmicks,
but you're talking like when Vince was like,
everybody needs a job, pal. That was the 90s.
Yeah, 1970 was WWWF. Yeah, yeah. Wow, their roster
is a lot smaller than I thought it would be.
Yeah, dude, they didn't have a whole lot of people.
Plus, people came in and out at that time. Yeah,
there was a lot of territories and shit like
that. Back then, it was like Bruno San Martino.
You know what Bruno San Martino was? Italian.
That was his gimmick. Seriously, TJ Strongbro
was a Native American. That was the gimmicks.
The gimmick was like Georgie Animal Steel. He
was a mute that chewed on turnbuckles. Fabio
Smula, she was a pimp that sold her girls. I
mean, I don't know where to go with that. Oh,
by the way, very fun fact. Professor Toru Tanaka,
I'm going to get off that track real quick. Professor
Toru Tanaka, right there at the bottom, actually
played Sub -Zero in The Running Man. I don't
know shit. Great movie. I love that movie. It's
one of my favorite movies. I know they're remaking
it and I'm pissed about it. No, I'm not actually
because it's a different version of the story.
The Running Man is so good. Yeah, but you can
have a different version of it. It's kind of
like Roadhouse. Usually the remakes that they
do are shit. They're garbage usually. I actually
didn't mind the Roadhouse remake. They remade
the Transporter and that movie was fucking garbage.
I've never seen it. Never seen Transporter? Nope.
With Jason Statham? Nope, and I can hear Sam
yelling at me right now from downstairs about
it. How have you not seen it? That's what made
him. That's how he started. Here's the funny
thing. There's certain movies I somehow skipped.
I don't know how it is. I didn't see The Goonies
until I was in my late 20s. And everyone thought
it was insane because that's right up my alley.
That movie's right up my alley. Late 20s before
I saw it. Let's do 80s. Let's do 1980s. Let's
look at 1980. Okay. 1980s. Now we're getting
into more like the gimmicky stuff. You still
have Freddie Blassie there. Big Cat. Yeah, Big
Cat or Neil Addy would have kicked your ass.
Yeah, he would. 100%. Jim Duggan. So we're starting
to get kind of more into that gimmicky thing.
Go to 84. 84. Yeah, go to 84. 84. There you go.
Smith. Now, we're starting to get into gimmicky
things. There's Bruce Beefcake. There's Davey
Boy Smith. There's, you know, The Iron Sheik.
You know, Big John Studd. There's Hulk Hogan.
Brad Hart. Thank you. Look at the fucking picture
of Brad Hart. Well, yeah. He was freaking 14
at the time. Now, he's actually probably in his
early 20s. You know, some of these guys are like
stupid yelping, too. Like, you got Jesse the
Bodyguard. Fuck his back all up. There's Jimmy
Superfly Snooker looking like he's tweaked out
on coke. He probably was. He probably 100 % was.
Junkyard Dog. I gotta go back and watch. Jump
head two years. Actually, jump head three years.
Jump head to 87. 87? This is probably when wrestling
really stuck in my brain. I know 90 % of these
wrestlers. I mean, right there, I know 90 % of
them. Yep, Andre, B. Brian Blair, Bam Bam Bigelow,
Barry Horowitz, Brett the Hitman Hart. He's finally
the Hitman here. Bruno San Martino was back at
this time. Beefcake, there's Axe and Smash. I
hate that version of the face paint. I prefer
it better with the white and silver. That was
very early heel demolition, though. They haven't
quite gotten around to it yet. Haku, he'll be
like, Jim, honky tonk, man. This is back when
This is WWE. I remember WWF. This is what I grew
up on right here. This is my stuff because I
remember all this. Look at cute little Jimmy
Hart right there. He was probably in his 30s
right at this point. Jesse Ventura. Jesse the
body Ventura. I can't do a good bench Jesse.
What's his name? Karrion Kross can do a killer
Jesse Ventura though. Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff
before his neck injury screwed his arm all up.
If you actually ever saw him later in his career,
his left arm was tiny. When it happened, he fucked
his neck up and he couldn't lift weights with
his left arm anymore, so he lost all the muscle
mass in it. Fun fact, Rockin' Robin, first row
from the bottom, is Jake the Snake Robert's sister.
There's Slick, Sensational Sherry. Oh my god,
Tim White. Ultimate Warrior. The most nonsensical
promos, but man, as a kid watching Warrior and
he's like, the power of the Warriors will send
the starships to Mars and we'll bring back the
rocks and we will crush them into dust and we
will win the battle. And you're just kind of
like, what the fuck is he talking about? As an
eight -year -old, you're like, this is the best
thing ever. This is what 91 was too. It kind
of sucks to find out how much of a dickhead he
was too. This is the year they brought in demolition.
They had demolition still. They brought in Legion
of Doom at this time. Animal and Hawk. Vince
was like, oh, I've got demolition. What the fuck,
Andre? That's a good picture of Andre. This is
close to Andre's last year working, 91? No, this
would have been after WrestleMania 7, actually.
Because if you notice, as Demolition Crush and
Demolition Smash, Axe had actually gone away
at this point. Not by his own volition. Axe actually
had an anaphylactic reaction to shrimp. He'd
eaten so much shrimp in Japan, he actually ended
up having an allergic reaction to it. So they
thought it was his heart. And so Vince was like,
oh God, oh God, no, we got to retire you right
now. Because Axe was going to go and become a
backstage producer, basically. Axe was in his
40s at this point. Hello. Hello. I can't see
that. Whatever your name is. Hi, Lisa. So yeah,
Axe was moving to backstage, but he got forced
out and he didn't like it. So that's why Axe
quit. Smash became Repo Man and Crush became
Kona Crush. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, they
added a crush in for a third man so they could
do the free bird rules, basically. And they turned
him heel again, and then they put them under
masks, which was awful. And then they put him
back in the face paint, but it was too late at
that point. Bushwhackers? Yep. Bushwhacker Luke?
It's kind of funny to see how back then, Jimmy
Snuka. I think it was Bushwhacker Luke that had
the shortest Stint or rumble for the longest
time until Santino Murillo. Oh, oh, Iraqi sympathizer
Sergeant Slaughter. You can tell because we're
in the khaki and the beret. Yeah. Was that Sheik
too? No, General Adan was... Oh, crap. What was
his real... He was a wrestler. No, Iron Sheik
was Colonel Mustafa. If he's here, I didn't see
him. I was going to say, because I know he changed
his gimmick. Yeah, no, General Adan was a different...
Arabian wrestler. I can't think of who it was
right off the plate. But there is... Oh, freaking
Shane Douglas was here back then. This is back
before he became Dean Douglas. Way back before
the franchise. Pat Patterson. Shawn Michaels,
little young Shawn Michaels. Hold on. Go up one.
Okay, go up to the second row. Right in the middle.
Is he Samba Simba? You reckon he's Samba Simba?
Go down one. Oh my gosh, he does look familiar.
What the fuck? It's Tony. I was going to say,
that looks familiar. Tony. Yeah, it's back when
Tony had left in the late 70s, early 80s, somewhere
around there, and basically told Vince, you know,
get bent or whatever. And then he came back,
and when he came back, Vince was like, oh, I
got a great idea. You're going to become an African
tribesman who went back to Africa and discovered
your roots. So you're now going to be called
Saba Simba. It was very racist. He came out with
a big mask and a spear and everything. I want
to ask Tony about it when we're at shows, but
I don't want to insult him either. I'm curious,
but I'm not that curious. I'd like to get Tony
on the show, but I don't know if he'd be able
to. Who the hell is Payne? I don't know. Payne,
look at the dude. Was Warlord the one that got
in the fight with Vince? No, you're thinking
Nails. Okay. Yeah, Nails was the one that got
in a fight with him about pay and then said Vince
tried to rape him or something like that. Something
like that. I mean, stories that we hear now is
like... Yeah. Who knows? Texas Attorney, no,
that's Gary Von Ayer. God, I know way too much
of this stuff. This is some old shit. Let's see.
Let's go... I think... I started watching...
I would have started watching in probably about
96. 96 was my freshman year, sophomore year of
high school. Oh yeah, here we go. I was two years
old. I'm old. Leave me the fuck alone. Alright.
There's Bob Sparkplug Holly, or better known
as Hardcore Holly. See, there's Crush again.
This is Crush when he became the criminal, Crush.
They had to do that tattoo on his forehead every
show. Oh my god, the gimmicks. Dr. X. Yep. The
executioner that was Terry Bam Bam Gordy under
a hood. Brian Pillman? Dude, go down one. From
Brian Pillman, go down one. I love how they say
fake. Doc Hendricks. Doc Hendricks is freaking
Michael P .S. Hayes of the Freebirds. They had
two of the three Freebirds here in this lineup.
Because they had Doc right there and the executioner
is Terry Gordy. All they need is Ronnie Garvin
to make the trifecta. Flash funk. Freddie Joe
Floyd, who is Tracy Smothers. Oh, the gimmicks
are really bad. Oh, my God. They're so bad. 95.
Jesse James, who's the road dog? Hunter Hearst
Housley, which is Triple H. There's Leif Cassidy,
who's better known as Al Snow. Oh, my God. Look
at this young Jeff Hardy. I was going to say
young Jeff Hardy, Jerry the King Lawler. I don't
see Matt. Is Matt not here? Who's also apparently
a massive dick. Fucking Jerry. It's going to
go down a little bit more, I think. Jim Corden!
Yep. Yeah, he was a manager back then. He was
running Smoky Mountain at the same time. Yep.
Mark Henry. Oh, my God. Mr. USA Mark Henry. Matt
Hardy. Look at Matt Hardy. God, Matt. Mosh. I
remember Mosh. Mosh and Thrasher are actually
having their year -end. They're winding down
their career, too, they said. They're still going.
I honestly thought they would be done already.
Nope. Oh, hey, look. It's Scotty Tuati. And next
is Shawn Michaels. Oh, yeah. Scott Taylor. Yeah.
Undertaker, Vader. His career died when Stable
Power bombed him. So the Sultan, you see the
Sultan? So that's Barry Windham, by the way,
the Stalker, the former NWA heavyweight champion,
Barry Windham. Yeah, because he was like, Vince
was like, I'm going to give you a gimmick, pal.
What do you want to do? He's like, well, I like
hunting. He's like, all right, you like hunting,
pal? All right, we're going to make you the Stalker.
What the hell's the Stalker? Just put face paint
on, pal. It'll be fine. All right. so yeah so
the sultan down there at the bottom um that is
actually um rikishi oh shit yeah yeah they tried
to give him like a um an um sultan gimmick i
think i think even irish he came out with him
a couple times if i remember correctly let's
go to 99 oh 99 is getting more of uh more of
your attitude era i know all these guys yeah
attitude area that blew me Yeah. Big show. Boss
man. Oh my God. Christopher Daniels is there
then? Holy shit. I didn't know that. Christopher
Daniels. What do you see? Christopher Daniels.
Go down to. Oh yeah. Right there. No shit. I
didn't know that either. Yeah. China was still
around. Yeah. Frickin. Christian Bradshaw. Gangrel.
We've been on shows with Gangrel. D 'Lo Brown.
Fucking. Yeah. Awesome wrestler. I wish he was
in that WWE a lot longer. Yeah. uh devon dudley

fucking hilarious speaking of which phoenix is

quick? I'll finish this and we'll talk about
it. Okay. Just want to say hypocrites. Just saying
that. I'll explain. I'll explain. Oh, we're not
going to fucking work for him. Hey. Everybody
was booked but me. I'm Merc, motherfucker. Pay
me and I'll show up. Yeah, I might have to shoot
out a text. Hey, why not? Right? They have a
tag team division. Just saying. I guess I'll
text him later. You know how long it's been since
I put the orange on? So, yeah. I mean, I'm okay
with going to gold and black if you want to.
If you want to do that, get yourself some gold
and black gear. All I have to do is Google gold
tiger stripe. Oh, boy. um yeah no so i showed
up because what happened is teddy hit me up at
lee and sydney's wedding he's like yo we got
a show coming up would you be interested and
i was like what's the date and he's like it's
this and i'm like well i am free and i you know
okay sure i'll i'll come check it out okay so
when things enter the vacation land they did
not end well i will say that I didn't do like
JP. I didn't go on online and blast buried them,
buried them. I went, okay, I'm probably never
going to work there again. It was simple. I said
it out loud. I said, I will probably not work
for you guys again. I wasn't mean to anyone.
I wasn't, I didn't tell anyone to fuck off. I
didn't tell anyone to die in a hole. Nothing.
I'm just like, I probably won't work there again.
As I'm texting him right now when we're talking,
I literally said, also, I'm sorry, but your reputation
isn't good in the wrestling community. I apologize,
but until things change, I won't be working for
you. Was that the last text you sent him? That
was the last text I sent him. Teddy hit me up
at Lee and Cindy's wedding. He's like, hey, blah,
blah, blah. I was like, you know what? Okay.
I've got the date off. I'm free. It's 20 minutes
from home, 25 minutes from home. It's literally
just So to get there, going up the highway, so
basically it's 395. You jump off the exit where
the slots are, and you basically take a left.
It's right there, the building. It's cool. So
I was like, all right. I got there and like,
oh, hey, you're going to work this person. And
that person showed up and had someone else he
wanted to work, and that happened. I was like,
all right, cool. Then Larry looks at me. He's
like, yeah, you're going to work me and Mac Vegas.
Holy roller. Or High Roller. I forgot what they
called it. I was like, all right. Literally made
a seven -minute match, and it was me and Larry
talking for about three minutes of it. So it
was stupid easy. But it was fun. And the entire
show, it was pretty simple. It went off without
a hitch. I mean, they had no ring announcers,
so Primer was like, fuck it, I'll ring announce.
And it was funny because Primer had no idea where
our hometowns were, so he was making them up
on the fly. I brought my laptop for the music,
so we had all the right music. Everyone had their
music. It reminds me of Ring Wars. We were literally
a popcorn match, me and Storm. You want to just
fucking say fuck it and just have a fun match,
whatever. We did, I think, five minutes of posing.
Deflexing and shit. Yeah. So no, it was a fun
time. And I left, uh, Lindsay walked up to me
and she's like, Hey, thank you. And I was like,
for what? She's like, for giving us another chance.
And I was like, you know what? I'm all about
like time heals wounds type thing. It's been
two years since they closed vacation. And I'm
like, you know what? I'm okay with coming back
and just giving someone a second chance and seeing
how things go. And Teddy asked if I wanted to
do the next one. I said, let me know the date.
And if I'm free, I'll, I'll come. I just sent
him up now. They had the Crash Out Boys there.
And I was like, oh shit, those guys are fun.
I want to work with those guys. It's Corey Fish
and his tag partner. I can't remember his kid's
name. But very fun. Would be fun to work as a
Wild. Seriously. All I care about is getting
paid. I get paid. So I guess we'll get into Survivor
Series before we head to Rumble and we cover
the last of this. Survivor Series, brother. Garbage
shit. Pretty cool. I don't know if you've seen
this, but on Instagram, there's a guy who he
rents out an apartment complex next to the venue.
So what he's been doing is he's been... What?
I said, that's smart. Hey, wrestlers, you want
to stay here? Well, I think he's just always
lived there, and that's what the events are.
He's been doing some updates of how they're building
for Survivor Series and stuff like that. Which
child just walked in? It's actually my wife.
I heard the door open. Yeah, me too. I was like,
oh, shit. Dinner was awesome. Thank you. All
right. She's like, I'm going to bed. Fuck you.
Yeah, basically, I'm going to go bed. Fuck you.
I'm going to walk through the door and say the
same thing to me. I'm going to bed. Fuck you.
Stop being loud. Yeah, stop being loud. I'm going
to bed. This is a guy on Instagram. He's been
doing time -lapse of what they've been building
and stuff like that. It's actually pretty neat.
I think I've seen some of those, yeah. I understand
a lot of the production for WWE. I always thought,
did they set that up all in one day? Did they
take a whole day to fucking do that? Or how did
they do it? It's kind of cool to see how they
get everything built and stuff like that. Series
build out here in San Diego. It is day eight.
And let me tell you, these guys have been hard
at work with the light. Being and the LED panels
all day. Let me show you what's going on down
here because as you can see They're currently
testing out some of the lights and wrap will
sharp down here Down by the two rings. You can
see they now have been kind of holding down I've
been kind of hoping that he you know Kind of
like spoiler alert like when they're doing the
test and he's not a fan because he doesn't know
Yeah, like edges fucking theme like Because that's
how it got ruined the Royal Rumble. You know
that, right? Yeah. Because they were testing
equipment and then they played Edge's entrance
theme. Currently tested. Look at that. Insane
to see all of these LED panels coming together.
It is just looking absolutely spectacular here
in San Diego. Let's go to the time lapse. That's
pretty insane. I hope he does like a time lapse
of the whole thing at the end. But if I lived
in that comp bug, like where he has right now,
I'd probably do that because of copyright. I
didn't even think of that. Copyright strike for
like a random song. We have no idea what it is.
Right. I would fucking buy binoculars and that
would be my seats. I'm just like, no, you know,
the recliner. window. So throw binoculars, and
I'd have the TV on watching the pay -per -view
live. Right, so you can hear the commentary.
Yeah, yeah. It'd probably also, like, fuck you
up, though, because I guarantee you there's probably,
like, a 10 to 30 second delay. Oh, yeah. Well,
there's at least 7 seconds, because every TV
production in the world has a 7 second delay.
In case someone's like, fuck, live on air. So
when someone does it, you go, fuck, beep! Yeah,
fuck off. So with SummerSlam, we're all hoping
that it was going to be John Cena is going to
face Edge and it looks more and more unlikely,
which sucks. Still hoping. But we got WarGames.
We got both teams. We got the male and female.
Male team. I'm trying to do this by memory, as
CM Punk, Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Cody Rhodes
versus Brock Lesnar, who fell during his entrance.
Okay, hold on about that. Brock, yeah, he definitely
busted his ass, but did you notice what he did?
He fucking back rolled back to his feet and kept
walking. I couldn't do that. I'd be like, okay,
I'm a turtle. I'm like, oh. He made it look cool,
at least when he fell. He just rolled up and
he's like, yeah. Drew McIntyre, The Vision, so
both Braun and Bronson, and Logan Paul. So CM
Punk, Cody Rhodes, Usos, and Roman Reigns versus
Vision, Braun Breaker, Bronson Reed, Logan, Paul,
sorry I had to say that out loud, Drew Mac, and
Brock Lesnar. Yep. So them and the women's is
literally the only one I really care about. Rhea
Ripley, Io Sky, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair,
and AJ Lee versus Nia Jax. Please let her not
go in first this time. Lash Legend, who I've
never actually seen work. The Kabuki Warriors.
Asuka's going to carry that match. And Becky
Lynch, who's also going to carry that match.
John Cena versus Dominic Mysterio. Stephanie
Vickery versus Nikki Michelle. We know he's going
to drop the title. Why? It's a Survivor Series.
Why? Retire the damn belt. Big deal. I guess
they could retire it. Seriously, retire the belt,
bring back the old belt. He beats Dominic Mysterio,
still calls for one more match, and Edge comes
out. Or he beats Dominic Mysterio, and then...
Yeah, he drops it to Gunther. No, Joe Hendry
comes out. Oh, Joe Hendry. Right, he drops it
to Gunther probably at a main event. Gunther
should not... Gunther should not be wrestling
for a mid -card title at this point of his career.
Cena wrestling for a mid -card title makes sense.
Cena's at the end of his career. You're still
John fucking Cena. So you should be wrestling
for something. And yeah, he can still wrestle
for the world titles, but it makes more sense
for him to get a mid -card title. No, Gunther
should be definitely working for the heavyweight
title or the freaking WWE title at this point.
Yeah, exactly. And then, of course, the other
match that's announced is Stephanie. Vakar. Vakar.
Vakar versus Nikki Bella. I've said this multiple
times. I hate that style of wrestling. I hate
Nikki Bella. I don't like Nikki's wrestling at
all. The old divas is just shit. I fucking hate
that type of... Stephanie's going to make her
work. Stephanie can work. That girl can work.
Oh man. So what's funny is the devil's kiss thing
she does where she puts her legs over the girl's
head, rolls over and smashes her face in the
mat between their knees. I've seen that before.
Angel. I can't remember if Angel had a last name.
She probably did. I can't remember her last name.
But she used to come out with AG. One of the
platinum blondes. Platinum honeys. Remember her
and Ava? Yeah. So you remember the shorter one?
Yeah. She used to do that. So I've got a picture
doing that too. God, I'm going to look it up.
It might be Jossie. Actually, I just saw that
the, the, the survivor series will be on Netflix.
So I'm so fucking happy about that, that I buy
ESPN to watch. Wait, it's going to be on Netflix.
It says ESPN in the United States and Netflix.
Oh, Netflix internationally. Yeah. Get a VPN.
Yeah. It's just, I'd rather buy VPN. and watch
it and watch it through netflix then it was oh
my god it was from 20 i think it was from 2018
talk to myself so like how much is espn anyways
isn't it like 30 so you get yeah it's almost
it's almost like a grand to watch wrestling now
like to pay for everything that you need to pay
for to watch wrestling it's like a grand seriously
this is where i wish they would do the bundles
um like because they have netflix and hulu i
think is a bundle or Hulu and Disney Plus. If
they're going to make you buy all these fucking
things. It was against Kobe. Okay. You probably
can't see it. I can't. I'll send it to you. It
was against Kobe. I remember this now. Because
I remember she was so nervous and it was like,
Kobe's fucking so good. And Kobe's like, I got
you. Hold on. I'm just going to send it to the
person I should chat. Send it. I'm trying to
find, I'm trying to see like how to buy the fucking
ESPN. Yeah. Um, I want to say it's like 30 bucks.
Someone gave me their login though. So good for
them. I haven't logged in yet. Subscription costs.
Here we go. So it's 1299 a month. Yo, the unlimited
is 30. Yeah. I, I know myself. I do the 30. oh
there's packages though disney and hula plus
uh are available so i mean that's i already have
that with the hbo built in and i'd rather have
hbo so disney hulu and espn is 30 bucks a month
for the first year stranger thing season five
starts tomorrow did not know that sorry i might
have to talk to the wife about that because i
think we have if we can bundle and save save
some money Um, you might season five release
date. Sorry. But yeah, so, huh? Surviving series.
We'll see what happens. Um, I'm assuming it's
probably a card fucking thing. Yeah. Can we see
a Mac Cordona or, uh, I don't think we're going
to get Zach Ryder back. I think that was a one
-off thing. I was going to say, was that just
a one -off or just, it was a one -off. I'm pretty
sure. It was like Dolph Ziggler. Do you remember
back a few years back when Heath Slater was doing
the whole, like, I can beat anyone, any legend,
blah, blah, blah. And they brought back, like,
Vader and, like, Sid Vicious and the APA and
Lita and, like, I think it's kind of like that,
where it's like, yay, cool one -off, and that's
the last time we'll ever see them. Even though
Matt Cardone is in great shape and could have
a full run. Right. But, yeah. He's always begging
to get signed back. Remember, he's always ready.
He's supposed to be the top indie guy. He's always
begging for a job. Sorry, I'm causing chaos here.
The thing with Matt Cardona is he's the top indie
guy and he makes plenty of money on the indies,
but would you want to make plenty of money on
the indies or would you rather go work your dream
job? That is true. I would kill to have one match
in a WWE ring. I would kill, seriously. Yeah,
same. Even if it's a dark match, I don't care.
Yeah. Squash match. 30 seconds. Don't do shit.
Three times, powerbomb me. One, two, three, I'm
done. We're good. Let's go home. Right? Okay.
What is that? It's a cat. It's my new cat. He's
squeaky. And I don't know if he wants attention
or if he wants out because he got locked in the
gym. Oh, no, he wants love. So, yeah, that's
basically... Is there any wrestling news that
we missed that's actually been... Oh, Penta.
Penta got hurt. You see that? Oh, yeah. Yeah,
so I was reading... So if you guys haven't seen
it, Penta went to give Braun... Not Braun, sorry.
Solosco a Hurricanrana. when he twists through
the Hurricanrana, he lands right on his shoulder.
And people were kind of like, oh, that was Solo
Sakawa's fault. I watched it multiple times because
I was like, I was watching it, watching it, watching
it. No, it wasn't. It wasn't Solo's fault at
all. No. When Penta rotates, he goes over too
far. And Solo just flipped, basically. And I
don't think it was anyone's fault. I think just
Penta over -rotated slightly. And that was it.
So my thing, my thing is this. we wasted Finn
Balor for this. Finn Balor deserves so much better.
He should be in the freaking world title picture.
He should have been the one to take the title
from Seth. I love CM Punk, don't get me wrong,
but it would have been a great callback to Seth
and Balor. What I would have really loved is
Balor to be like, okay, fine. I haven't done
this in a while, but you're unleashing this.
Yeah, so what I would have loved, 100%, is Demon
Balor to come back. Because that would have been
fucking fantastic for us to get the Demon once
again. So the news apparently Vince Russo wishes
he never is in the wrestling business, apparently.
We do too! We do too! So you had a brief moment
of like... of like not stupidity when Vince would
write would help with bro I get this idea bro
we're gonna do bro we're gonna bro this we're
gonna bro that and Vince McMahon be like that's
stupid bro that's stupid pal we're gonna fix
it all right bro yeah like when he's like I wrote
the Montreal Screwjob no you didn't Cornette
suggested it and then you're like bro it was
my idea Cornette's like uh like fuck it was I
don't think it was anyone's idea, but Sean's
and Hunter's. No, it was Cornette, and Cornette
suggested it to Pritchard. Pritchard pitched
it to Vince. And then I think Sean and H went
along with it, too. So I think it was kind of
a group effort more than anything else. Oh, okay.
Well, yeah, so this is basically it. Now we're
going to get into the worst Raw ever. That's
what we were talking about before. Oh, God. Yeah,
or part two of that. Alright, well, thank you
guys on YouTube for watching. We're going to
switch over to... No, of course not, because
I had to get all this shit ready. But we could
watch botches. We can watch them without having
to worry about skipping them. Oh, that's true.
But we want to say thank you, YouTube, for sticking
around, for watching us. Please like, comment,
subscribe. You can catch the show live every
Friday 9 p .m. Eastern Standard Time. Give us
five stars on all audio platforms. We won't be
doing Rumble all the time, but we're just trying
to finish up the worst Raw ever. It's just a
lot easier just to go on Rumble without having
to worry about editing shit. Shout out to a friend
of the show, Akira. Shout out. Yeah, he's popped
up on my X. He's live right now on X. So I just
want to say shout out to Akira. Friend of the
show. Friend of the show. Other than that, we'll
catch you guys later, YouTube, and we're going
to head right over to Rumble. So for those who
missed last show, we were covering the worst
Raw apparently in history that people claim.
You got a 3 .36, I believe, on IAM. IMDB. IMDB.
IMDB. And a 1 .24 on Cage Bash. And then last
show we talked about, you know, the horrible
start of the show where they had the four Brian...
Shit. Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Leo Rush,
Baron Corbin were doing their own thing because
basically all the top guys were either injured
or out. Because they put all their fucking eggs
in a basket, they literally had no stars. What?
No, I was just saying yeah. Oh, I thought you
said cat. No, I said yeah. Last show we covered
that. What else? So they did that. They did the,
we did the terrible question there. Speaking
of IMDb, have you ever actually gone in IMDb
and kind of like type in raw and kind of look
down through like the actors of raw? No. So it's
top cast, right? Okay. So I'm going to go through
the top, the top cast just as I'm seeing it.
Right. All right. Let's go through here. That's
all system writers. Okay. There's Jerry Lawler.
Okay. Jerry, the King Lawler. There's Michael
Kuthnard. Kuthard. Kuthard. That's Michael Cole.
Paul LeVac. Of course, that's Triple H. Mike
Chioda's name. Chad Patton is Chad Patton's real
name. Glenn Jacobs. Vince McMahon. Jim Ross.
Randy Orton. Mike the Miz Mizanan. So he gives
out all their real names, except for Jericho,
which is weird. It says Chris Jericho was Doink.
Oh, he was Doink for a little bit. Shawn Michaels
is Shawn Michaels instead of Michael Hickenbottom.
Colby Lopez. Seth Rollins. um kofi kingston is
not his real name paul white for the giant for
the big show uh so yeah there's some that give
like the real names and there's some that give
like their work names it's really kind of funny
like stephen farrelly for seamus um nick nemeth
for dolph uh cody rhodes it's rhodes instead
of ronald's of course mark calloway for the undertaker
hey the undertaker's real name kayfabe brother
yeah it's not like it just it's just kind of
funny all right hold on i'm just looking i'm
just kind of curious what the score is on imdb
now there's like three points something november
26th actually it was a it's a 3 .6 though to
be fair the week before the week after aren't
all that great either it's a 5 .1 and a 4 .7
so i'm trying to find the becky lynch episode
where she became a freaking megastar is only
6 .4 I mean, 6 -6, 6 -6, 6 -6, 6 -5, 6 -0, 7
-2. The shield was a massive attack. I got a
7 -2. Honestly, nothing huge. There's not like
a 9 -0 from this year. There's also not like
a... So, yeah. So, Nia Jax, when we watch the
Nia Jax shit with Raw, like the terrible fucking...
Terrible... promos that she did with her and
Ronda. Drake Maverick says the WWE Universe laughed
at him last week. 99 % of the people never experienced
true fear that they would be the same thing if
they were threatened by his 7 -foot giant. This
was after we talked about that he pissed his
pants. He'll be facing Gabe and Ru tonight. backstage
alexa tells sasha and stuff we saw that that
they had their stupid fucking questionnaire thing
on ww raw with that one plant they asked one
question yep yeah i remember that and let's see
seth rons welcomes a monday night raw and then
he does a uh he does a uh tournament uh like
basically like a uh Intercontinental Tournament
and Dolph Ziggler answers the open challenge.
So this is what we got for Dolph. Dolphie Dolph.
I'm done chasing Dean around looking for answers
and no amount of bogus accusations to make Dean
Ambrose a meet to Seth Rollins. I got one of
those. He's going to be here at Raw next week
and I hope he is. He's a shinier. I also heard
Ambrose say that he's not going to be here tonight.
But Ambrose is a liar and a coward. So I believe
he's got to be around here lurking somewhere.
What's up? The blue's off. I was just looking
at Seth's version of this. I was looking at the
version I got. I also need to replay it. So the
plating came off. But the blue's the wrong color.
This blue is too dark. But the truth is, I don't
give a damn. Because I am Seth freaking Rollins.
And it is time. To throw it down right here right
now Intercontinental Championship open challenge
is She's done that with a main state title Who
we're gonna get Ooh, Dolph. Yeah! Oh, was this
when he hit the short brown hair? Oh, it was.
Oh, no, it wasn't short. Okay. Dude, him and
coming back, that pop. We should probably watch
that, too. Yeah. If we have enough time. Oh,
no, it's blonde. Okay. I'm glad you want to get
back to being Seth Rollins because since Dean
Ambrose stabbed you in the back, your head and
your heart. It just hasn't really been into it,
has it? That's sad. Now, listen, I want to forget
all that Dean Ambrose drama. And if you want
to go back to being sad freaking Rollins, you're
going to do what you do best. Lose to me. Oh,
boy. Oh, yeah. Because if you're going back to
being you, I get to be me. The best. In the world!
I was going to say, wait a minute. I'm not only
the best in the world, I go back to being Intercontinental
Champion. Is that why he taped up his fucking
shit like that? I mean, he's always taped his
hands up, but that's very punk -ish, definitely.
Let's see. those guys wouldn't be a bad match
so we'll find out okay okay that's kind of cool
money in the bank kick out rig figures sold separately
remember golf has to pin or get rollins to submit
to win the championship yes that's how matches
work michael cole Wiggler perched all the way
up top. Could be looking for a massive superplex.
Locked by Rollins. Locked again. I wish I worked
in a ring where the ropes were this tight. I've
never worked in a ring where the ropes were this
tight. I missed all of that because you came
out like a robot. Oh, I said I wish I worked
in a... I just closed a window. That might have
been what it was. I said I wish I worked in a
ring where the ropes were that tight. I've never
worked in a ring where the ropes were that tight.
Crown's ring is close. And Ring Wars had actual
ropes, and I just fucking hated those. No, this
time it was cables. This time it was cables,
yes. But the first show was ropes. Yeah, it was
actual ropes. Well, that's what these are. They're
actual ropes. Yeah, I would not want to watch
the actual ropes. Oh, how? You look like Joey
Hoffman for a second. See that? Oh, yeah. Right
there. Oh, yeah. Joey, were you on Raw? Yeah.
Critical point. And Ziggler with a smile on his
face may believe he has the championship in his
sights. Big Dolph Ziggler can taste victory right
now. Looking for a zigzag. Rollins blocks. Is
this where he's doing the pedigree, or did he
do the stomp? I don't remember. Dolph Ziggler
leaning all of his weight, making the champion
support all around. Dolph Ziggler's been all
over Seth Rollins for the better part of this
matchup, but see what Seth Rollins has left in
the tank. Rollins back to his feet, kick right
to the face. Cover by the Kingslayer to retain.
Kick out by Ziggler. Oh, yeah, he was doing the
Kingslayer gimmick at the time. Oh, yeah, I forgot
about that. That was nice. That was nice. This
is probably the only good thing. This is why
they had such a good rating. They would have
had a zero rating if it wasn't for this match.
I don't think it's zero. There was okay stuff
in the show. There's not great stuff. Making
the long climb to the top. Dolph wants to guarantee.
Falcon Arrow? No, Superflex, roll through, Falcon
Arrow. He doesn't really do that that much anymore.
He won with that? He never wins with that. That's
usually like a set up to finish. Damn. Okay.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. That was... Now
I was expecting. Sasha and Bailey succumb to
a sneak attack. Flash, flash, 100 -yard dash.
Need to get across town. Ignore the loss. No.
Rob. Rob. Seth Rollins, congratulations. You
issued an open challenge. What the hell is he
wearing? It's his wristbands. He has them around
his neck. You look like Spenders. What message
were you sending? It's a Dean Ambrose out there.
Oh, man. You know what? It wasn't just a message
to Ambrose. It was a message to everybody. I'm
not to be messed with. You know, Dolph went out
and called himself the best in the world. I love
that he thinks that about himself because then
he comes into the ring, he tests himself, and
he finds out who the true best in the world is.
And Ambrose, he's been playing mind games. He's
been trying to get inside my head. And I get
it. I understand. He's trying to find an advantage
because what he's got to do is watch what I just
did out there. And he has to understand that
at TLC, that's what he's got to deal with. I
burn it down every night. I am the best in the
world. I am a fighting champion. And Ambrose
doesn't stand a chance. Wow. Yeah, the Rick Root.
I'm trying to find that fucking. Oh, my God.
Noise of Jose. Yeah, we can watch that in a minute,
too. Oh, here we go. Let's not watch that, actually.
So Drake Maverick steals his robe This is so
stupid Like two people the crowd AOP, man, they
had such potential. I don't know why they got
rid of Paul Ellering for the manager. This is
a lovely, lovely room. It would be a shame if
something happened to it. What the hell? Here
we go. Oh, there it is. There it is. Why? First
of all, Oh, my God. It's taking way too long.
Like, you can't tell me Aquaman and Razor are
just sitting there in the ring, like, not doing
anything for, like, what, just two minutes of
this? Yeah. Glorious. Wash your hands, Numpty.
Hey, when you got to go, you got to go. I wouldn't
have flushed that. I mean, come on now. And now
from behind, off the distraction. Raised our
blasted Bobby Roode into Chad Gable. Chad Gable
with long hair. Can you blame Bobby? You took
your eyes off the prize, Bobby Roode. You could
always bought more rogues. You can't necessarily
win tag team titles again. You want to steal
that? We were going to. That was order 66. You
could always bought more rogues. You can't necessarily
win tag team titles. I never knew that. That's
beer money's finish. It's ours now. Oh, man.
The problem isn't getting the suplex up. It's
just getting the flip over into the powerbomb
position. It would actually be easier to powerbomb
them and hook up for the neckbreaker. Yeah, because
that's the way we're going to do it. The powerbomb
and then you catch it with the neckbreaker. But
yeah, that was Beer Money's finish. That's why
I'm laughing because Bobby Roode is part of Beer
Money DNA. Alicia Fox. Oh, so remember this where
they push the shit out of fucking That's what
happened to the evil wizard. So for those who
don't know, they pushed the shit out of him.
He was supposed to be the next biggest thing.
I think he was pretty big in NXT. And then he
had a panic attack on his debut. And then they
realized what a piece of shit he was, and they
were like, you know what? You don't have to come
back. Yeah. It's kind of crazy how much time
and shit that they put into him, thinking that
he was going to be the next big thing. Never
even debuted, and then that, yeah, the scandal
shit came out. Apparently it was, like, previous
things that were posted. Yeah, he posted some
really heinous shit on a bodybuilding forum,
I think it was. Something like that. I mean,
he had the look, you know, and, like, his finish
was kind of eh. It was basically an urnagi, midsection
urnagi. Yeah, basically that. He reminds me of
kind of like French Angel or something. And didn't
they try to bring him back again? And then they
shelved that again. Still did not work. Yeah.
Still did not work. Amber, did you really want
to see Amber? I bet this is the whole match.
Remember, they weren't giving girls any time
back then. So we'll watch this fucking terrible
shit. Well, half of it's terrible. I mean, Amber's
actually pretty good. Amber's good and shit.
But I just... Is she gonna... Oh. Ooh, that was
cool. That was nice. Curt Hawkins, nice. Are
we going into the Eclipse? Yep. Yep. Wow. Oh,
that's right. Kerr Hawkins is in that huge losing
streak at this point. No way. It was basically
Adam Rose. Basically. Let's see who we have future
WWE stars. They probably grabbed some indie workers.
Because it's funny because they showed Adam Rose's
group and it was like Bailey and Braun Strowman,
Becky Lynch, Simon Gotch. Yeah, a whole bunch
of them. That's basically it of... Yeah, except
for we can watch the... This was the main event.
This was the... To finish the night. Oh, no.
This match is now a two -on -one handicap match.
What? That's some bullshit. Cat, did you pause
it? Your mic's off, dude. Fucking mic. Anyways,
I need a new microphone. So they did a no disqualification
with fucking Elias. Yeah. Now it's gonna be a
two -on -one handicap. It's basically no to cut
notice qualification I want this fin back man.
Oh the Balor Club feedback Oh, Healing Arena's
lower back too. Yeah. Yeah, don't turn your back
on Drew Mack. Don't turn your back on Drew Mack.
That's a lot of sentences that did not work.
Oof. Damn. Claymore? I hate that. Jew deserves
better. Finn deserves better. Finn deserves better.
I think this is the reason why I think he just
goes to NXT shortly after this. He's like, I'm
fucking done. Yeah, he went back to NXT, did
the whole thing with becoming the prince again,
came back up, joined Judgment Day, and he's been
stuck in that ever since. I don't understand
why this got such a low rating. It's so great.
Vince. So what happened is Balor, they convinced
Vince to let Finn win the Universal title. Finn
won the Universal title but blew his shoulder
out because of Seth fucking Rollins. I'm not
saying freaking fucking Rollins. That's why that
freaking buckle bomb that he almost crippled
Sting with and he doesn't do it anymore. already
um and so finn had to give up the title then
vince is like ah he's small and he's injury prone
pal never again ah golden eggs and so yeah vince
That's the WWE title. I might. I don't know.
No, seriously, Vince McMahon. It was Vince. Vince
doesn't like the smaller guys. He's like, nah,
pal, you need to be 7 '4 and, you know, muscles
and have a dick the size of a Tyrannosaurus.
And you're going to let me suck it. All night.
What's he going to do, sue me? Vince, everything
I own is in this room. You can have it. And my
Legos. Those are downstairs. Yeah, man. So that
was the worst. I know we kind of summed it up
really quick, but it was so bad, I had to get
through it. It was so terrible. There's so many
wrestlers in the show deserve better. So much
better. Bayley deserves better. Finn Balor deserves
so much better. So much better. It's like, come
on, guys. Drew McIntyre deserves better, man.
Drew McIntyre should be a multi -time world champion
by now. He's so damn good. He's got the look.
um well just a few years later he's faced the
company and then yeah during the pandemic yeah
that's that's the thing that sucked about the
pandemic like just winning titles or winning
anything in the pandemic it doesn't feel like
it was real because it was like nothing was there
like i i just tried to pitch a picture of um
uh it was jessica jess uh jesse nolan versus
nikoma and it was during during the pandemic
at skips and i'm just kind of like that doesn't
feel like it ever happened like i was there i
remember being there it doesn't feel like it
happened you know anything that happened to the
pandemic doesn't feel real yeah exactly i like
i hate looking back into that too because of
the masks and like that it's just like oh it's
like um uh braxton i think his name is aston
the dojo amber and i were talking about like
because we were training we trained during the
pandemic we turned the masks on And he's like,
how was that? And both Amber and I are like,
it sucked. So much fucking dick. So this is,
we're going to get into botches, because I know
you love botches so much. Botches! And then we'll
end the show tonight. Yeah, you're boy tired.
Yeah, I'm really tired. I'm going to be up tomorrow
to go to Bar Harbor for 9 o 'clock. So, we're
good. Yeah, it's fine. I'll be up probably 7
anyway. The dog won't let me sleep in. The dog
don't know what time it is. He's like, I gotta
pee. Alright, I'm fucking beat. I'm trying so
hard to fucking power through this shit, but
I think it's time to call it. Do plugs, get out
of here. Let's get the fuck out of here. You
can find me on all social media platforms at
D -O -T -D -N -I -X. That's N -I -X, not N -Y
-X. I'm not a creature of water. I'm a creature
of water, not darkness. Shut up, Kat. I'm going
to kick you in the dink. I'm going to make JP
grab you by the dink and twist it. You can find
me. That's, of course, Instagram. That is Facebook.
That is TikTok. That is all the social media
platforms. I'm on pretty much all of them. You
can find me upcoming for shows. Well, I was going
to say Friday, but, well, we don't get a show
Friday. Kat, I swear to Christ. What? I will
summon the God of Thunder to put a lightning
bolt through you right about now. What are you
talking about? I don't know what you're talking
about. Saturday, I will be at NAWA in Farmington.
That'll be fun. It's not Farmington. It's Kennebunk.
Farmington this weekend. Look it up. It's Farmington.
Last time I checked, it was Kennebunkport. Well,
if... I'm going to open up the chat that Larry
has got us all in, and let me see where it says.
Let's see here. So Saturday is the 29th, correct?
Mm -hmm. Farmington. Okay, well, I'm just saying
that he has the show advertised for Kennebunkport.
Well, that is wrong, because we're in Farmington.
Kennebunkport's on... Dude, that's on Friday.
I'm talking the Saturday show. Oh. You get to.
Yeah. He needs to fucking advertise both of them.
He does, I think. Anyway, whatever. So yeah,
so Farmington on the 29th and 5th, December 5th,
I will be at Gino's for NAWA once again. Then
the 6th will be at MPW up in Indian Island. December
19th will be NAWA once again for Sanford. Remember
I said MEW is closed and we have less places
to work? Well, Larry still runs. And then December
27th, we'll be at Skips for an AWA once again.
We'll see if I get booked anywhere else. But
in the meantime, I don't know. We'll see what
happens. But at least I'm closing out the year
with a few more matches. There you go. Big Cat
Tyler Adams on. Instagram and TikTok. Tyler Adams
on Facebook and X. I will be next Friday will
be at the IWE show. I'll be facing a secret opponent.
I haven't announced it yet. I know it is. I know
you don't. Jim Bob Cooter, former defensive coordinator
for the Detroit Lions. I'm sorry. That's all
I've heard every single time. Every single time
I've talked to like, who are you wrestling? I'm
wrestling this guy. Oh, I'm sorry. It'll be fine.
Just remember your shit. That's all I'm saying.
That will be the last show of the year, I think.
I got nothing else booked. Unless I can get an
NAWA show or something like that. If they need
Genos. I haven't worked Genos. Skips is always
fun. You might just die, didn't it? See, he's
got one of those fancy mics that glows and is
all fancy and fancy and fancy shit. It keeps
breaking. Yeah, the plug is fucked. Is it the
plug or is it the cord? It's the plug. The plug
that's actually inside for the microphone is
damaged, so I can actually get a new microphone.
I don't know if Geno's... I haven't worked Geno's
forever. That would be nice to work. But first
session of wrestling... First session on every
audio... Every audio. I'm tired, as you can tell.
We have sessions on every platform. Make sure
you guys like and subscribe for the YouTube channel.
Follow us on Rumble. I think we're going to do
more of these shows here and there for Rumble
only. Watch the 90 Rumble on Rumble. We might
do that. We might do some shows and stuff. Just
the Rumble. The rest of the show I don't care
about. Just the Rumble. Watch my favorite match
of all time, which is... Wrestlemania 7. Wrestlemania
7 is... Is it 7 or 17 the best one? No, it's
probably 17 the best one, but my favorite match
comes from Wrestlemania 7. It was Demolition
vs. The Colossal Connection. 17 was the Hardys
and Dudleys and Edge and Christian. Yeah, I don't
know about the best, but that was definitely
a good one. What? What? I'm pretty sure that's
that match, whatever. That Edge Spears... Oh,
no, no. Dude, that is a great match. I don't
know if that's... I'm pretty sure that's what
they call the best WrestleMania of all time.
Because that was a stacked card. Because you
had... I think it was Rock versus Austin was
the main, if I remember correctly. Yeah, it looks
like WrestleMania X7. So, shut up. Continue on.
Eat my dick. Anyways. I'm going to bed. I'm fucking
tired. We'll see you guys next week. I don't
know what time. I don't know. We're all fucking
busy again Friday, so we'll have to figure out
something. Other than that, fucking kawaii. See
you later. I'm going to bed. I'm fucking tired.
Hopefully we'll have more people show up. JP
Autism. Fucking Samuel Matthews. Levi Spade,
where the fuck you at? I don't think he cares
anymore. I don't think so either, honestly. Yeah,
we'll see you guys next week. Peace. Peace. Peace.
Peace. Peace. Peace.
