in heaven, the whole weekend will be filled. They should
start Friday and his marathon, it was it twenty four
hours of the mons.

Speaker 3 (08:54):

when I wrote it down.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I wrote Teddy.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Long's song because it was so close to the sun.
I just the g came back.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Teddy long song, the song in his heart probably did die.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
No no, no, he will live on forever in his art.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
But that's it is very.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Sad, and you know you never wish that on anybody.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
He's very young too, so sad. Just R.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
I P to him and you know, sending our love
and stuff Teddy because I love Tedy Long Long.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's great. That's it.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah, play on player. Also, R I P to Undertaker's podcast.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
It sucks with his wife.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
It sucked before, but now it sucks with his wife.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
Can I be honest with you? So I never really
listened to it before.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
I did check out the episode last week because I
had Brown Breaker on it.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
No, brown Breakers one of the worst ever. I don't
want to be I don't want to come across.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Say what you say, say it, say with your chest.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
Michelle definitely makes it.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
She's awful. She's a charisma vacuum.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
She's she's like chiming into these things that were like,
that's not that's not where we're going with this right now,
you're taking us in a direction we're not trying to
go to.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Dude, it sucks with that other At least the other
dude kind of was like a general hosting stock. Dude,
Oh well when that when that pod that podcast started
as just a podcast whenever on ww so he did.

Speaker 6 (10:13):
They just had like a random podcast guy like doing
the traffic.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Basically the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
It was a friend.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Undertaker knew the guy or something he was a friend of,
like ste I don't know the story of how they
met is you know, shaky enough where what I won't
say because I don't know for a fact, but he
was at least good at, like you said, directing traffic.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
He was good at that's what he needs.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
I think, Yes, that's exactly what he needs.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Like, that's exactly and this dude was really good at
because they got some really good quotes in there.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
I remember, That's how I saw it.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
I didn't listen to that ship, but I saw tons
of clips from it because they were really good at
that kind of shit. Great with the marketing.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
What happens is under dakers like dude.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Ww, you should pay me to do this more, right,
So boom, they pay him to do it more, and
they're like, lose this loser. Get Michelle McCool in here,
and he's like, great idea, and then everybody in the
world is like bad idea, and we were I feel.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Like there's a couple of times where like he was
gonna start really talking about something, like I was really
excited to hear her talking about and she would like
say something and direct them like away.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
I'm like, no, that's not how you do interviews, dude.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
He would he would go on these wild stories about
the car rides and ship like that, and then he
when I listened to one with Michelle McCool, he was like, yeah,
I remember getting a pedicure and it was like, dude,
shut the fuck up, what happened to this ship?

Speaker 6 (11:25):
Better off asking you know, why did you do this
and why is it the right time?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
She'd be better off fucking you know, you know, getting
the fuck out of my face with this dumbles.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Shit.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
If I'm honest with it, shit sucks and she ruined it.
So l ip to that show too. Yeah what happened?

Speaker 1 (11:40):

do Great America Bash for because it sucks. We're doing
the worst first here and then we're gonna do the
best second. That's a weird order, but thank you, b J.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
That's a really weird order. It's almost like that's not
a thing.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
That's what I thought BJ did this. Okay, So great
America Bash preview. Get your Delo brown heads out, loosen
your necks.

Speaker 1 (12:34):

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Awesome Oba Fami games, it's so small Yoshi Nikamura Amura
No with jrash Bread.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
That sounded not great? Uh, Yoshiki and Amura.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
With Josh Briggs for the NXC Championship. I got this
weird feeling.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
O fees, just go over to yeah, waste match.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Because it's gonna be a banger and you're gonna like, wow,
that was a fun match, but we knew the outcome,
so it's fine.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
I think the match we're pretty good. I'll be honest.
So I would rather be Briggs against next.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
They gotta building exactly.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
I like Josh Spriggs. I know about Josh Briggs for
anybody else.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
I knew him on I saw him at an e
sw show.

Speaker 9 (13:33):
Brother.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeh hey, Mike, Mike, look at me this fucking other dude, Huh.
I can't stick with us, brother.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
They also saw Daniel Garcia and I said, Josh Briggs
is better than.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Dane Garcia, that was right.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
We're not all right.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
I was right.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
In fact.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
O wins Jordan Grace again, Blake Monroe against Fatal Influence
tag team match should be happening on anisode of fucking
nx C, not my pay per view.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Faces.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
I don't know this because the title match is happening
the next night on Evolution, So you're setting the stage
for that.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Wow, don't care.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
I think Jordan's and Blake win Soul Rock versus.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Is he Dame?

Speaker 5 (14:15):
Well, you didn't pick.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
We know what he's doing.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
The Faces is not gonna lose you. I assume she
gets the pinfall.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Is he Dame is with uh? With Bron she wins.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm going because Soul just won that Titlena. Did you
hear about in a relationship with Yes, his sole relationship with.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Tyler Bates not positive.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
He is Tyler.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
He's my favorite dude and all the rest on He's
a toy Storm and he was Live Morgan at one time.
Dude's a fucking ace man, He's the true Ace.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yes, God, I forgot. I was gonna say what else?
It's horrible.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
I'm sure.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Oh we're done already. The ship sucks got it, Okay.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I think I mean, she's gonna be an evolution in
the tsing match, right.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
So I feel like she's almost like none of this matters,
almost like none of this w W stuff matters. Are
Saturdayny's main event, this and then fucking the evolution, It's nothing.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Okay, real quick?

Speaker 3 (15:25):

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Admittedly it might have been at the bottom of another article,
but just google real quick, Kaiser Charlotte. I think something
happened there. Well, we'll update you as we go.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
Wasn't it just that Charlotte said that he was in
her d MS as like.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Well, no, I think I think I think it was.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
I think it was reality and that they actually broke
up because of it.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
Lam I don't they broke up Kaiser Charlotte? And there's
like no recent like stories or anything the promo April
when they were doing their promo.

Speaker 3 (16:09):

to get caught up. All right, Well, okay, all in preview. Guys,
this is where the money's made. This is the show
I've been looking forward to. I would I was gonna

looking forward to this kind of show.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
I've been looking for this show all my life. Dude,

Speaker 3 (16:58):
They're The Second thing is they're making it from their perspective.
They're doing unbelievably successful.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
Good for them, but they're number two by a far,
by a large Guess what.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Pepsi is a really successful company. Coca Cola is the
number one. That's okay, mister C. M.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Brooks.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
There's a larger margin between and a W that's very stupid.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
You're very stupid for that.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Alright, let's start at the bottom here, because I want
to save the fucking main events for Kisses Her, Syndy Kid,
Bobby Lashley, Benjamin against Jet Speed, Kevin Knight and Speedball,
Mike Bailey against the Patriarchy, Christian Cage and Nick Wayne.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
Remember when they used to have real tag teams in
a W What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (17:48):
What do you mean Jets Speed? That's not a real team,
Speedball and Kevin Knight.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Kevin Knight's awesome, it's speople on. Mike Bailey is awesome.
There's a great tag team. And I don't saying anything
about that. I'm just saying that that's just the random
thrown together team. First of all, the mainline FDR is
doing main events ship buddy.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Sorry, they're not involved with the championship.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
They don't need it, not evolved, not involved in the
pay per view.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Uh well, we're working on something else there.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
If you've been watching, if you've been watching television a
weekly week week the week basis, you're seeing.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
What's going on.

they're not done to the storyline. They're not ready for that
play payoff yet. But you want another match on here?

I'm going I'm yeah, I'm gonna go with no.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
No, I'm going to think the patriarchy.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
To be honest, they well they've been having nick Way
and gets slapped a bunch, which usually just means something's
gonna happen there. But I'm gonna say Jet Speed because
Mike hates on them.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
I don't hate them, it's just they're throwing together team.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Well, now they're gonna be the legitimate because they want
a championship.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
U remember private party.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, they're probably gonna leave.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
The one dude had a lot of injuries though he
had a concussion or something he's been having problems with.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Okay, well they won the titles, dropped them the hurt syndicit,
and then got shipped off the Cantano Bay to serve.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Out an injury.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
Not after that.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
That doesn't that doesn't.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
Fit your I don't think he's got injured Adam Cole
versus Kyle Fletcher for the t NT Championship.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
My God, Adam Cole on the way back to the
top day, No, Adam Cole retains.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
I don't think so. I think Adam Cole is gonna
kind of get dangerously into the territory.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
Of just every like in Tony's mind, at least because
he was injured for so long and stuff like that,
like people just passing them by, to the point where
he's kind of like a lower mid carter for him.
I think we're getting point at that point, because do
you really think that he's gonna put Adam Cole above
hang Man, mox Ocado Omega swear.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
I think right now.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
I think right now you're seeing the revitalization of Adam
Cole on aw programming.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Yes, I think it's gonna takes some time.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
It may take he's either going to win a world
title within the next you know, two hundred days, but
I could see him by the end of this time
in twenty six. I see the belt jockeying a bit here,
and I see Cole getting the world championship in twenty six.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yes, I don't see that at all.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
I think you're wrong.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Swerve Strickland and we'll spray against the Young Bucks.

Speaker 5 (20:28):
God, I could not be harder for this. Nelts What
you're not excited about this? I'm not takably.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Remember if the face is also a terrible stipulation, why
the Young Bucks are no longer EVPs, they're out the doors.
That's a big here's a deal. That's a big deal
because they were executive vice president of the coming That's
what that.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Was the allure of going to.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
I don't know if you know this, but if they're
actually still gonna be the e VPS of.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
The company, you don't know that, dude, Eric Eric Bischoff
booked m l W and they are gonna be They're
gonna be done.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
They're done, dude. You don't know that.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
Goldberg's winning swearing obviously winning because they're not gonna keep
them out of the tititle scene for a year. Yes,
because they already got backlash with the whole shitty Cody
storyline that they did where he could never challenge for
the world title. Uh, and the Young Bucks being e
VP is just a made up fucking thing for TV.
They're gonna take away and they're still gonna be the
actual ev BS.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
Okay, who cares?

Speaker 1 (21:32):
It's not who cares.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
It's not like if you give me some actual stakes
of this match, maybe I would care.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Dude, this is like fucking prime beef steak here, brother,
you're missing it sucks for you, though.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Who's the young bucks care ifs were being Osprey challenge
for the championship, if they're a tag team.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
They're not a tag team because they want to take
them down there.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
They don't care.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
They're e vps. They don't like the direction the company
is going with these two fucking do gooders at the top.

Speaker 6 (22:01):
They don't like how Osprey gets fucking seven stars every
time he has a match for.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, they're jealous, honestly. That is that he literally mentioned
Dave Meltzer, So I knew you were gonna hate that.
Could I not women's Casino Gauntlet match?

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Who wins it?

Speaker 6 (22:20):
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna this could be dumb on
my part thinking that Tony would do something with her
impositioner in a way, But I'm gonna say Athena because
it's in Texas home state. She was kind of advertised
and like made part of like the promotional you know

(22:40):
tour before All In and then kind of like fell
off and has not been mentioned as part of the show.
Uh but I feel like her winning would makes sense
because you can transition from r O hd aw WHI
should have been done long ago, and she already has
the built in rivalry with Mercedes, who is obviously gonna
be winning. So you could set up a rematch between
Athena Andrcedes potentially.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
That's cute.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
Chris Statlander, p J.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
That was my second choice, to be honest with you.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
There's three there's three options, actually there's four. You do
Willow and you know get that. That's how you get
the Mercedes there again. Or or we Tony shows some
balls and we get Britt Baker versus Mercedes Manet again.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
No, we can again.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
Uh wait, you're picking Baker?

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Oh my god?

Speaker 5 (23:29):
What about Meghan Bane?

Speaker 1 (23:30):
She is still or not?

Speaker 4 (23:32):
I don't know what happened there?

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Did you get over her as well?

Speaker 3 (23:35):
I will say, well, Camille apparently the way Well, Meghan
Bane has actually been in at least squash matches where
they're still putting her over as a you know, she's
rising through the rankings in theorem.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (23:47):
Is there gonna be like any surprise entrance or anything?

Speaker 4 (23:49):
Of course?

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Come back? She hasn't been on a long time.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Well, I think you'll probably get some of the Japanese
ladies flying over to have a good time.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
Gon be like a debut some kind?

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Is Rio still in wrestling?

Speaker 1 (24:03):
I haven't seen her in.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
A long time.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
I don't know, is anybody is? The free agency market
is not a with.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
I mean, there's there's talented people out there, but they're
gonna take time to develop. There's no prime star ready
people anymore.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
Oh uh, he get knocks or somebody like that, because
maybe she's what's what's the girl.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
The other one? No? No, the other one's dating brown Breaker?

Speaker 5 (24:32):
Oh Jade, Yeah, I can see that.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
What's your name?

Speaker 5 (24:37):
No, Lena Black?

Speaker 1 (24:40):
And you know it?

Speaker 4 (24:41):
I know, I knew it.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
You prove How about the mens? How about the men's gone?
Like what we're doing here?

Speaker 5 (24:47):
I mean it feels obvious to me.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well, actually, M say the two names? Say the two names?

Speaker 5 (24:54):
I'm JF I think.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
And what's the other one?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Who?

Speaker 4 (24:56):
I want to hear your gut because I got.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
Two names, Mark Briscoe.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
No, I didn't have.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
They're not at Mark brisco I like it though, I
genuinely like it. But I thought someone like Bobby Lashley
comes in and he's the one who costs m j F.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Why would I think, Oh, I say that Bobby lash
would win. Who's the other choice?

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Then it would be Darby Allen? Yes, but I thought
Darby Allen.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
I actually, okay, that's possible because maybe Darby returns and
does wins that and then he like shows up after
Max wins and like confronts mocks kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
He's literally standing anyway.

Speaker 6 (25:38):
Yeah, changing my pick, it actually fits with what my
narrative is for this Pavie.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm going with Rick. Oh, there you go.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
I like him.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
He's been super fun. He's like leaning into being in
dork and I think that's fun.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
That's really good.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Uh Okata Omega, now here's I'm gonna just let me
get in here for a second. Let me slide into
your d MS real quick. Take Dave out of this
equation for a second. Just talk to me like like adults. Okay,
those matches while you guys, you know you're with your finishes.
You have a specific way of protecting finishes that they
do not do in Japan.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
That bothers both of you, right, we.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Both we all acknowledge at the time that these this match,
these series of matches in these guys were incredible, like
they they put on a show and a half.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Awesome.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
And you know, it may not be your your exact style,
but for this style, it was perfection nearly. I don't
think we're gonna I'm gonna I'm not gonna say, well,
there's I will, there's attend to truth and a lot
of the things you say, but we have a different.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Style too, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
I kind of agree with you.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
But here's the deal. I don't think Omega and Okada
will live up to that hype. But man, there's no
doubt they're gonna put on a fucking banger and a half,
so I'm ready for it. And they're gonna lose a belt,
which is great too, So please.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Please, it's gonna be a match to night. I agree
it should be. I'm going with Okada.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
Actually I'm going to Omega.

Speaker 5 (27:06):
I'm going on Mega too.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
I feel like it's just too obvious to have it.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
I think I think.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
Because Omega.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
He's been hurt for so often over the last few
years that he hasn't had like a huge win like
that in a long time.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, honestly, he hasn't had a huge match like this
in a long time.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Right, Like I said, it was that it was the
whole bowel thing that he had was like almost two
years total that he's been on the sidelines out of
main storylines. So if you're gonna do this and he
wins this, he's back in the main events scene. Hey,
you know what we've been saying, Darby Allen, maybe it's
Omega that takes it from Moxley. Revisit that make should
blow up for real this time?

Speaker 6 (27:46):
Come on, man, nf Omega wins and they could have
him in uh obushi like celebrate together and rub up
on each other.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
You know what, I guess should win. He's not the
aw Unified Champion. He goes against Moxley for the w
World Champions and they unify that the Unified World Champions.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
I gotta tell you, I'm fine with that because that's
less titles unify all.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
The uh Okay, So I'm John Moxley was hanging man
and him page.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
I'm sick with that, as I said, all along, and
I'm going I think every Moxley match is essentially a
Texas death match.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Well it's it's a thing. It's with Terry Funky's to
say about his hardcore matches.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
He said, walk in.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
They wanted me to do a hardcore match, and they're like,
what do you want the stipulation?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
But He's like, pick the name of the city and
the toughest thing the city is known for.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Its like that's why, that's just what you know. I mean,
that's just what they would do, like the bunk house
brawls and ship like that. They covered they were Dallas
bunk House Brawls or something like that.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
So that's just simple.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Listen, Moxley's gotta again, just like oh my Omegan Okada
have a style that you may or may not like. Max,
He's got a style that you may or may not like.
I in particular love it. So I and I love
Adam Page because he's got he can adapt to a
lot of different styles, but he's been he works a
well fine art in violence. So please, I will take

(29:17):
two helpings of this, thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
How many center blocks are destroyed?

Speaker 4 (29:22):
I think they go off no, I think they're doing something.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
How many tax are used?

Speaker 1 (29:25):
A lot of tacks.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
I still think there'll be a lot of tax I
think there will be some sort of branding iron, some
sort of ultra violence that's gonna be.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Yeah, so Texas death. Now I'm thinking of horse.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Think what are the things to going the heels of
your boots? Spurs, spurs like spurs, rateing a dick, dick,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (29:45):
I think that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
What else?

Speaker 3 (29:47):
What else like a horse collar or something like that,
so you know, yeah, you know the things that go
around in that sack? Yeah, yeah, well yeah, okay, And
I think we're going weird.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
It's just a bit.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
It's a BDSM match. A horse will come out and just.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Oh my god, I have to assume you will.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
That is his at horse kicks monks in the face.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
Are you saying horse or horse riding?

Speaker 1 (30:19):
The horrors down in the ring?

Speaker 4 (30:23):
I think it does matter, Mike. I should we said
it out loud like that. It's a bit a big difference.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
I think listen as much as I from the bottom
of my heart homegrown guys. Adam Paige I think is
my favorite guy they have, right, He's just I love
him a lot. I just don't think they're letting mox take.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
The title here. I'm I'm paying.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
I don't think they're letting him take the title for
Mox here. Sorry about that. Darby Allen has always been
the guy.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
I just feel like the whole sting thing was to
get Darby there the injury, and then Mount Everest fucked
up the timing.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
But he's like, We're doing it no matter what.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Mm hmm. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:02):
I've said Max the whole time because I agree that.
I think that the way they're presenting it, it was
always gonna be Darby. And then he decided I want
to climb a fucking.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Mountain, and that like just climb, climb the mountain.

Speaker 6 (31:15):
I want to climb the mountain. H and that mess
up their entire timeline.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Which is cool.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Shit, just don't like, don't let's if you're like, listen,
I gotta pause ring Russ for a couple of weeks,
I'm gonna go scale Mount Everest.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
I'd be like, go ahead and enjoy. That sounds weird.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
I would ask for your permission, I would, I think,
and I think the fans will not like that, but
I think that their attempt to get them back will
be like Derby confronts him afterwards, and I think it's
gonna work.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
I think people are so tired of of mocks and
this he'll run right, which is good. You gotta sometimes
you hold onto a little bit long just to make
sure people don't like it. And then here's you're saving
Grace and Darby Allen.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Because I like events, I do, Yes, yeah I do.

Speaker 6 (32:01):
If Max is winning, I'm saying no, and it should
be Mercedes and Tony. But what that said, This is
Tony conwers talking about and he will not allow a
woman to mean event.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
He always said that the men's World Championship was the
most important title in the company.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Will always made event.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
It's a pretty bad thing to say.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Let me tell your son, let me tell you, so
don't let me tell you something.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
You now, I'll say it.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
I mean, I don't think there's really any doubt. I
would say to me, Mercedes and Tony are bigger stars
in draws right now than Mox and Hangman are right
now today.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
I would say that most people are there to see
that the women's main event.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
I think it's listen I'm telling you right now, if
you're asking me, Donnie, who who do I believe should
be in the one hundred percent of women? If you're
gonna get a world title change and you're getting Tony
SoRs and your Mercedes Monet fucking Ultimo Dragon style ship,
that's your main event without a fucking shadow of a down.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
But but Toy's credit. No, no, you're wrong.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
But here, Mike, I'm.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Gonna save you, to save you the time stick.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
On the hate side, it's fine, You're welcome on that side.
The truth is, he has said many times in the
past that that world title is the main event.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
It is the main event.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
It's what makes it so med and I just think
that he's gonna I just think that Darby Allen standing
toe to toe with mox is.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
The ending of the show.

Speaker 6 (33:33):
If I choose the women the main event and say
that they should and they don't, then that can further
fuel my hatred.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
So it's just you just aired your agenda.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
You just you just laid out all the parts everybody
to see, and they see your phony bilony for.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
That, well, there's nothing funny about it. I'm saying they
should main event. That's the fact.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Yeah, but but he's also a man of his word.
He said this man, this championship is the most important
championship in the company, always has been since twenty nineteen.
Even the day Jargo did that Longhorn, it was still
the most important championship in all of wrestling.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Where's Jerick?

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Is he going to w B No, he's just relaxing
for a while.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Its look good, though, you said you don't even have
weights anymore. Uh and Timeless Sary Storm her her promos
have been incredible, and that's why I'm convinced she's losing
because she is acting her asshole. She's balls in saying
how she's gonna What was the line, You're gonna all
I have to do is pin you.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
You're gonna have to kill me? And I love that line.
That line was fucking incredible.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Uh So, I I very much.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
Well, she's gonna beat her and not kill her.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah, No, I know it's crazy. He so someone in wress.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
I'm not filling in what they said.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
They're gonna do.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
People who could have been dead in wrestling these things.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
I'll kill you, motherfucker.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
There's a zero percent chance anything other than Mercedes winning occurs.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Here.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Yes, yeah, m hm, as it should be. I'm fine
with this story. You've done a really good job with
all of this, and I honestly, the payoff for me
is I know, Mike, I know you're gonna be mad
at me, but I gotta tell you that payoff shouldn't
be a new star. It should be Tony's Storm. I
want to see Tony Storm get the title back. I
want to see Tony Storm with the title that I know.

(35:15):
I know you do, and I know nine out of
ten to get back. I know, buddy, look at me,
Look at me, look at me nine out of ten times,
ninety nine out.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Of one hundred times.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Dude, I agree with you.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
I'm all here, dude. That's a spot for someone who
needs it. But you know what, timeless Tony Storm is
doing things in the women's division that no.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
One in ww's doing.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
Man, I don't care about anybody in ww's women's division
as much as I care about time with Tony Storm,
and I have for a long time. So I just
gotta tell you I want her on top as long
as humanly possible. She's my she is my Roman reigns.
Do you understand that she is my Roman reigns and
I want her. And that's the way I hear the
fucking top.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
Guess I just did. Guess I just did.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
I threw up the one for Storm. That's the eye
in Tony.

Speaker 5 (36:02):
I'm growing up. Do it like on period with your finger, I'm.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
I don't do anything on my period.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
I agree Donnie about Tony being the one to eventually
take down or but she is the She is the
big star in your in your company.

Speaker 6 (36:20):
And she's made a million times over and made anybody
else you.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
But if you, if she loses this mass, lose the championship.
Now Mercedes has everything to me, and that's why I
want to see. I've always been someone who really enjoys
someone having all the goal with a stable at one
person when they did it in ten popular actually love
that stuff. So I want to see Mercedes win the championship.
Now she has everything, and what I would then like
to see is Tony's Storm in this gimmick where it
allows her so much creativity, She's the one who, over

(36:49):
the course of could be a year, she's the one
masterminding every single time Mercedes now loses a championship and
eventually the only one remaining is the wins World champ
ship that she didn't takes back.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
So she puts over a bunch of different people on
the road to finally putting Tony back over.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Yes, I love that. JJ.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Listen you say some dumb ass ship, You say some
really irrelevant ship on this show a lot, right, Like
I barely listen to you. You just said some ship
that might be the smartest shit you ever said in
your life, and I am proud of you.

Speaker 6 (37:25):
I'm not gonna say anything that he said was dumb
because it's a good idea in theory. I'm just saying
it's maybe you're fooling yourself a little bit if you
think she's gonna put over like five.

Speaker 5 (37:35):
People in a row.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
She has a character championship. She doesn't give a ship.
She's winning all these championships. She understands the character she's
you might give. She's a smart resson on mind. Dude,
are you comparing her to Haul Cocain or something?

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Here?

Speaker 6 (37:49):
I'm not comparing her to Haul Cocin, but I'm just
saying I don't think that's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Wow, Okay, wait, you think she's just as champion of
all these companies like forever.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
I think it's more likely she.

Speaker 6 (37:59):
Like puts all the titles on the line in one
match and loses them all in one loss, and then
you know, besides the a W Women's title, they all
kind of get relinquished.

Speaker 5 (38:09):
Is what I think is far more likely.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
No, I think we better. She's like all around the world,
and it's like all these different things like a Mooney
tunes are like.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Storm over.

Speaker 5 (38:18):
Better.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
But I just don't think that they're gonna have Mercedes
taking five, six, seven losses.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Her downfall is at Tony Storm's hands, and she ultimately
gets and then when then guess what Saja by his
her low point and then guess what? Guess what face
turn goes back to just like damn Tony's like, guess
what psych your fire? Alright, let's okay, guy, real quick,

(38:46):
real quick. I don't do this often. Overall grade for
the show, it's gonna be ten out of ten, right
all in start what's my what's my curve?

Speaker 1 (38:56):
What's my curve?

Speaker 5 (38:57):
Starting at a night you're starting as well? No, I'm
not even being facetious about that.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Okay, I'll start at twelve. Then we'll see where it goes.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
I already know see how it goes. I said, Okay,
we'll see how it goes. Yeah, all right, Saturday Night's
main event.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
You're not.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
I'm watching live, you fuck can, dude, I got friends
coming over.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
First off, when listen when we listened to the email later,
there's a part where you're like, oh, I had friends.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
I kept wanting to jump in and be like, no,
you fucking didn't, dude.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
Oh okay, Saturday Night's main event Xcel Xcel. Why don't
we put the XL on there? Why haven't I noticed it?

Speaker 5 (39:37):
It's the fortieth ever Saturday Night's made.

Speaker 10 (39:40):
I thought it was actually large three matches like my shirts.
That's nice, but no, it is their Xcel.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Oh yeah, no, dude, I'm fucking looking good, Dude, I'm
cutting my body fan down pm I and Mike who
I just say, I've if I've noticed one thing in
thirteen years of knowing you, right, fourteen years now at
this point it's actually almost fourteen, it's that you care
about my constant wad loss struggles and my battle against them.

(40:18):
You're like my diets and ship. You're like you care
a lot about and my my ability to quit drinking.
You really care about those two.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Things a lot.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
I like when you start drinking again.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
It's almost like it's up and down battle a whole.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
I'm off the stuff for good, except for I was
drinking Maker's Mark from a flask in the river this weekend,
so not exactly gotcha, exactly back off the way.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
Off the way.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Yeah, yeah, I don't care about the adages.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
I'm just doing.

Speaker 4 (40:48):
I'm just conquering, all right, That's all that. Saturday's main event.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Oh, Randy witin versus Drew McIntyre. They're gonna make dreamatics,
aren't they.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
I can't imagine Actor is gonna lose his first smatch back.

Speaker 6 (41:02):
You better not, because they bottomed him out by having
him lose to priests and Steel can take the concertto
and now you build him back up to the.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Yes, thank you. I read an article on Bleachport last week.
Who's in store for a huge push for the rest
of the year Drew McIntire, Fuck you guys better.

Speaker 5 (41:18):
Be wow pick that actually makes sense.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
I didn't like it either.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
I always gotta stick one of there just so on
not no, no, I did I do. I do my
articles on my own.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
I got chat start I shouldn't say that. It's a joke.
It's a fucking joke, dude. I got that believable.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
I write listen, I write my articles while while running
on a treadmill. I speak to text them like a
real American.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
That's insane. True too, That's the craziest part of all
of this.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
Seth Rollins.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Uh, you can hang a loss on Seth Rollins here.
It wouldn't hurt him.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
I agree, I kind of agree. And it doesn't matter
what What's that he has money in the bank, so
it doesn't.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
Right to lose every fucking match ever had.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
I mean, it's gonna be an overall book wild mess
of the match, right, so l A I could steal it. Yeah,
I'm kind of thinking.

Speaker 5 (42:19):
I'm thinking l A.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Knight.

Speaker 6 (42:20):
And I never would have said this until last night
on Raw because when he came out and he uh
kind of beat up Seth and like ran off into
the crowd, that was like a I felt like a
moment to me where he's like.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Doing his his who do you feel like when he
came out only at the very very.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
End, not stone Hold the Rock would do that kind
of stuff.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
He'd come out real quick at the end, not.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
That Stone Cold would do that. I'm not and I'm
not gonna put it on that level.

Speaker 6 (42:50):
But him in the crowd, the crowd's going crazy doing
his his catchphrase. Like felt like a moment like we
we got some of that special sauce back that he
had previously. I would capitalize in that momentum have him
beat Seth what I would really love because I don't
know if you know the same He's ain thing we
talked about. He got his ass beat by uh uh

(43:12):
carry across.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
It feels like they're gonna continue something there.

Speaker 6 (43:14):
I don't know that the same he's aying, dream of
winning the title at SummerSlam could become a reality.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
What could become reality? What if l A.

Speaker 6 (43:21):
Knight wins this match and that gets me a title
match against Gunther at SummerSlam. What if he beats Guther
and then Steff catches in on l A.

Speaker 5 (43:28):
Knight so we get l A. Knight little title win.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
That's it's gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
Why not Let's go on to Goonther versus Goldberg singles
back for the World Heavyweight Jamming Jim. He says here
this will be Goldberg's retirement match, right, Yeah, we know.

Speaker 4 (43:47):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
So we discussed the theory last week. Are you going
with that theory?

Speaker 4 (43:52):
Did I not? Was I remembering? What was the theory?

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Again? Sorry? He was?

Speaker 5 (43:58):
You kept insisting Goldberg is gonna win. We kept insisting
Guther was gonna win. Obviously the theory where the only
way you could possibly have Goldberg win would be Goldberg
winning and then Seth cashing in on him right after. Okay,
is that what you're going with through You're just.

Speaker 6 (44:13):
Going Goldberg wins and it was a lie and he's
gonna keep wrestling till the end of time.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Well, he's not a wrestler the other time, but he's
gonna get himself the summer slang with.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
The championship win over Gunther.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

Speaker 6 (44:27):
Look at me, I'm not sure you would have told
me that Seth cash in right after. I could get
behind your idea, but you're just flat out wrong if
you think this.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
I'm not sure owing the details yet, Okay, I.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
Haven't worked it out.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Trying to get some data from my god no list,
I'm trying to get Well, here's the thing. I can
make stuff out in my head. Wha here we go
maybe Seth at the end, you know, I.

Speaker 4 (44:46):
Mean something like that. It's over the top of my head.
Just come with that.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
So I think that it's off the top of your head.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
I think Goldberg. Listen, Goldberg is going to walk.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Goldberg will beat Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, whether
it's cashed in on afterwards, or whether we get some
sort of you know, Seth Cashian at SummerSlam ahead of
time and we get a triple thread.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
I think Summer Slam is a triple threat between the
three of them. No, that's not I'm telling it.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
I'm telling you right now, Gunther versus Goldberg, Goldberg.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
I'm telling you. I'm telling you right now.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Listen, my fucking crystal ball. It's not always clear, but
I see the fucking right direction, and it is Goldberg
winning this match.

Speaker 6 (45:25):
Dude, this is getting worse and worse. I could have
got behind the Goldberg winning in shashame, but that that
complete fucking stupidity. I'm totally off that now.

Speaker 5 (45:36):
Just winss.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Guys. You guys are gonna so stupid.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Where is this taking place, Guys, Goldberg doesn't come back
for fucking one off ship shows. It's a fucking mega
time like it's it's a sandwich.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
I get to town.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
He's having his final match, his retirement match, in his hometown.
That's it.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
He's not jobbing when his son's right there. He's going out.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
He's gonna win the championship, and then he's.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
Gonna job out.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Not in Atlanta. He's gonna win. He's winning in Atlanta.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
He is winning Atlanta. He is not Matt Ryan. He
is winning in Atlanta the only way.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
It happens the championship. What's the pose? What's the porpoise?

Speaker 5 (46:25):
What's the porpoise?

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Bro'?

Speaker 4 (46:28):
They're different animals?

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Did you not know that?

Speaker 4 (46:30):
Why do you say, Donald?

Speaker 1 (46:31):
No, they're very I know they're different. They're very similar
for different animals. Due different similar Yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
No, porpoises are like attracted the fucking boat spinny things,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Away your theory, as long as your theory. He wins
the championship, so he has to go on to win
another to go on to another match, So then he
has to lose at some point.

Speaker 4 (46:49):
Yes, he's going to lose immediately.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
So what's the purpose of that?

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Why? What do you mean, what's the purpose Goldberg because
the USA today, if you're on the front cover, that's why.

Speaker 4 (46:59):
Because Bill gold is a fucking name.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
I don't think this publicity because you can have Bill
because hey, Gus, Gus, guess what Dick faced at SummerSlam
on the marquee it can say world headweight Champion Bill
Goldberg one more fu time.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
That's like Stone called Steve Ass on a billboard.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Brother, all.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Sorry, I got heated there, but yeah, I believe wins
the championship.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Yes, and let's go onto this.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
You know what opposite of this Goyle matches Oh boy,
let's go over here.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
By the way, can't to say something to you.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
The promo between Tiffany Stratton and fucking trist Stratus was
hot garbage.

Speaker 4 (47:48):
That ship sucked.

Speaker 5 (47:57):
Him and George had a conversation about this because they're
both crying about it.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
So like from the bottom.

Speaker 6 (48:05):
Or something on the Facebook page where somebody was crying
about it, like this is not an original thought from Donny.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
I don't think he even saw the promo.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
I guess what I listen.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
I saw a few chocolate pink I saw a couple
of references to ice cream when Jade showed up, So.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Yeah, I saw it all. I saw it all, dude.
What they're like ice cream?

Speaker 3 (48:24):
It's like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, and I want to
be I want to be you know, I want to
be the banana and blue. Yeah, we're like, yes, banana split, Yes, sir,
we agree, evolution.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
We're all for respect here. So he's up, guys.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
This is why our lady demographic continues to dwindle.

Speaker 5 (48:46):
We pretty much never had one.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
We had three lady friends, they all left over.

Speaker 5 (48:52):
Pretty much never had one.

Speaker 4 (48:56):
Oh my god, dude, shut the funk up, dude. I'm
talking jay Cy.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Jane against Hallan fan with Hale and Finley f Jordan Gray.
So Jayce Jane against Jordan Grace. See Women's Championship Jordan Grace.
Jordan got it, got it, got it.

Speaker 5 (49:14):
See it's nothing. It's that's a nothing match. We know
it's happen. It's a championshiping match. That's an awesome moment,
Jordan winning the title.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
It's a moment, not a match.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
I said the match. You keep talking a moment.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
I said match.

Speaker 5 (49:23):
Match will be good.

Speaker 6 (49:26):
Sets that I think Blake Monroe ultimately win it from
Jordan Grace when they want to call her up.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
Yeah, Hi, Hi, Hello obvious Eo Sky against Rio Ripley banger,
certified banger.

Speaker 5 (49:38):
I think the main events. Do we agree on that?

Speaker 4 (49:40):
Oh yeah, I would say so, yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Yeah. Actually I think real wins, so I'm gonna go
with I think, Okay, I think.

Speaker 5 (49:50):
I mean Ria is your biggest women's star and Eo
is probably your best.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
Done here, so that's not true.

Speaker 5 (49:59):
Yeah, but I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
You can change. Okay.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
You could say that Ria Ripley has been booked better lately,
and that's for sure, but.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
It's about mainstream appeal, and it really.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Is more people. More people know who fucking Becky Lynches.

Speaker 5 (50:14):
No, I know that because you're not really on social
media and stuff like is your wife on? Like TikTok.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (50:23):
I was gonna say, ask her about the obsession with
Ria Ripley, like she has transcended wrestling at this point.
Ria is their biggest women's star right now, and Rio
will win the title here.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
I think we live in a pervert society and I
hate it.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
However it got that way.

Speaker 5 (50:39):
It's just the reality of the situation.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
I got a little girl.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
I don't want to come up in this society.

Speaker 5 (50:44):
He's also happens to be a fucking awesome wrestler.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
So I'm going with ya.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
Yeah, I go with because I don't like pervert Segria,
Uh Rock, Rock cal Rodriguez and Rock San Perez against
a literation difficult for you.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
I just smoked whole blunt. I'm fucking sleepy.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Yeah, that's why, Uh Soul, Roka and Zaria and the
KOBOOKI Warriors hotly ship you're talking about the ship ass
tag team match over in a w.

Speaker 4 (51:11):
This is a fucking conglometer of people just throwing together.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
I want Warriors in what sense are the best Alex
been a team for and they haven't been a team
in a long time and they're barely on television ever.
Alexa blis never yeah exactly, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
Not a tag team, and Zaria I'm not an NXC,
so I don't know then been a tag team for months,
and Alexa noting election Charlotte for many.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
Give you pick a winner because none of this makes
sense or means anything.

Speaker 5 (51:43):
It all makes sense.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
So they successfully so they successfully defend here and none
of this.

Speaker 5 (51:48):
I think Rock stay and win, although I wouldn't shock
me for Alexa and Charlotte totally shocked me.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
Fine, really.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
I'll go with the Kobuki Warriors. They should, but they won't.

Speaker 5 (52:01):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
This is a Battle Royal for the women's championship at
Clash in Paris.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Yeah, telling her views of the.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
You think Nikkiy is gonna win nick.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
I think.

Speaker 5 (52:18):
Get eliminated by the woman whose name she butchered, and
Stephanie is gonna win back.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
He ain't winning ship due this is a nick Are
you asking me?

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Google it? Motherfucker has a better case strategy.

Speaker 5 (52:37):
Did you pick Nicky Bell.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
That she's evolution? Dude?

Speaker 4 (52:43):
She is Evolution is guy's number one hero.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
I'm glad that.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Nikky got relegated to the Battle Royal.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
I can say that it's very funny. Stephanie and Julia
came up with such fanfare. They're running in the bank.
They were huge stars for it, and they have no
fucking storyline heading into evil.

Speaker 11 (53:00):
That's Stupidla just won the title, so she's what I honestly,
I would no storyline, but because she has a title,
I would just I would do an open challenge with
her and have like a legend.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Or something have come out and that just comes off.

Speaker 5 (53:18):
She's gonna win it like I think she is.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
She is as an open mic open mic challenge.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
It's like you fucking you come out here, you want
to talk work right, I got work right for you
a bit.

Speaker 6 (53:31):
I think a Julia open channels would be cool because,
like you said, she just won the title.

Speaker 5 (53:35):
So they don't have a few ready, but I mean
that'd be a cool thing to do.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
All right, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
I thought I thought you had more.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
I thought you were going to say that Tiffany Stratton
and trist Stratus, Uh cool, Timmy Stratton wins, it means nothing.
It's a cool way to get Tristia on his card.
But yeah, this is this is nothing and then promo.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
On obviously here the way that they introduced this though,
it was.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
This is dude, this is I get the one all
stuff that I kind of liked, the one all the stuff,
But do it right, honestly, going through Goldberg, it says
you when goberg win, it's gonna be great, Like we're
gonna view that as a very fun use of a legend.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
You're gonna be so wrong, dude, You're gonna be so wrong.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
I can't.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
I can't. I'm calling you. I'm not even texting you.
I'm calling you.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
When he wins the championship, I won't. I won't.

Speaker 5 (54:25):
I'm facetiming show because he's if he wins the title,
he's gonna get cash.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
It doesn't matter. I doesn't. At that point, i'd still
be right. I'm still right. You would winning the championship.

Speaker 5 (54:37):
Insisting that he won't get cash it on?

Speaker 3 (54:39):
Well, No, No, if he gets cast, that's fine too.
It's gonna be a triple thread Summer Slam. That's not
his last match, Bud. No, it's not fun, it's mad
if he gets on if it because in that sense
said as cash one, he's doing a rematch.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
No, he's not.

Speaker 5 (54:54):
He's retired. That's it.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
No, listen, well we guess what. He's good. You guess
what one more? Who's next? Next?

Speaker 4 (55:01):
Who's next? One more time?

Speaker 3 (55:03):
It's not happening, BJ, Come on, dude, what that would
be chaotic ship? We'd love that'd be great, BJ, you'd
love FaceTime. You not talk to us like citing, and
he is FACETI mehry up him here.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
Hey, I don't know. I work on Monday.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
I'm calling you late dull. This is yeah, yeah, Saturday,
that's Saturday. You're Jade Cargill versus Naoi no holds barred,
cant Naomi carry this Greener.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
Than Goose ship Jade car Giller just showcasing.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Is this the Is this the storyline? You want?

Speaker 3 (55:40):
An a w that just exposes her as not a
good wrestler.

Speaker 6 (55:44):
Yeah, I absolutely did want a storyline cool.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
It makes her look awful. Everyone says the same thing.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
She she honestly probably shouldn't be on the main roster
until she's trained more.

Speaker 5 (55:55):
Oh okay, but then.

Speaker 6 (55:56):
But the funny thing is when they took a long time,
did they do or everybody cry about that?

Speaker 3 (56:01):
Which I about it? I knew she was greater and
good ship. That's like tone with her Gotcha als rousse
Alis a black. I thought these guys are the cover
here doing good.

Speaker 5 (56:13):
I don't care about Russev.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Yeah, I was told that all these guys that come
back into be a big star. It's almost like the
maybe issues. Maybe it's not his fault year good.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
What are you talking about? Okay, not having a dad.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
I think Jade definitely wins because she's got a title
match coming up.

Speaker 5 (56:32):
A Summer Slam.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
Yeah, no, ship, dude keep sucking force feeding her.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Uh but DJ agreed, Naomi's definitely cashing it on here
at some point though.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
Becky Lynn's Bailey and Lyra Valkyria.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
Good chance to be matching the night. Either that or
e Overseria. I would say, Yeah, it's a tough call,
but I'm gonna say Becky because she pretty much just
won the title.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Oh, Bailly, it's.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Gotta be Becky. Becky's gonna retain here.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Bat it up.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
We did all the previews.

Speaker 5 (57:11):
Look at that, guys, I think that should maybe be
the opener.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
If it's not gonna main event. Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
I'm fine with the just banger entrances to start with.
Bailey's the first entrance, we get Lyra's in the middle,
and then fucking Becky comes out third.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
Blang, there's your fucking opener.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
It bangs and.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
Fucking claps, it slaps, and then he's your main event,
especially getting title change there bury tricks in the middle,
because that's who that's gonna blow. Jade can go in
three minutes in between his little squash match ere but
I just booked a show.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Saved you.

Speaker 5 (57:44):
Fox in the opener, so we'd be moving in the
right direction.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
Well, fucking good stuff. I guess we're making progress.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
Huh yep, good Uh.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Look, we did all the previews, we talked about all
the things people complain about us taking time off. Look,
we've been here for weeks in a row. You're like
it now, you're happy with so many weeks in a row.
We care about you people. We love you, you people,
We love you people. Go ahead, Patreon pole results. I'm
done talking wrestling.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Oh yeah. For those that don't know, the first of
every month, on patreon dot com slash Ring wrest Radio,
we put up a poll for people to vote on
leave comments. This month's poll courtesy of Mike. Here are
we Who is the greatest women's wrestler in w W ever?

Speaker 5 (58:29):
Ever?

Speaker 3 (58:29):
Okay, ever, I'm getting light I'm getting lightning here in
cases all goes could put better?

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Not anyway, you guys are any guesses?

Speaker 5 (58:39):
I think people will say Becky Lynch Okay, Tony.

Speaker 4 (58:46):
The greatest of all time?

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Lady? Is this all? Like? This could be leader right,
this could be any lady? Ever?

Speaker 4 (58:51):
Yes, I'll say christ Stratus.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Okay, okay, Mike is correct. Ah thirty three percent of
the votes went to Becky Lynch. Seventeen percent of votes
went to Oscar and Charlotte Live Morgan, Ria Ripley, and
Trish Stratus Paul got eight percent, So Lim Morgon got
one vote for Oh excuse me, that's.

Speaker 4 (59:15):
What l A Knight?

Speaker 8 (59:17):
Who?

Speaker 4 (59:17):
How many for Manami Toyota?

Speaker 5 (59:20):
She's not in WW Yeah?

Speaker 4 (59:23):
Because their coward didn't.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
She was she?

Speaker 4 (59:25):
She was in it for a minute. Did you do
it boil or something?

Speaker 1 (59:29):
No?

Speaker 5 (59:29):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
I don't think so. Look up, you're you thinking of
Migo setamore?

Speaker 5 (59:33):
Are you thinking of bowl McConnell.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
We're just naming Asian ladies. What do we think?

Speaker 5 (59:39):
We're putting ourselves into your mind? And that's how you think?

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Go ahead comments Justin Carson says aj was close to
me because she was pretty legitimate divas era. Charlotte's unlikeability
kills her character work. But I vote for her, just
in Ring, just for her in Ring, I went with
a total package. You're rippling.

Speaker 3 (01:00:03):
Now now I can't think of now, I can't stop
thinking of like everybody just perverts, now, I got it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Nathan tom Lanovich has a dialogue here. Nicky Bella. Why
not me, bitch, Big Johnny wrestling Mama Bella every night.
Bella gross, Big Johnny. I tell you at the time,
I gave you the old Scooby Doo and they chase
the room, Nicky Bella, the awayoo.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
The Scooby day is a good one, dudeing you know,
probably my favorite.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Whatever I was curious is the basic questions solely on
wrestling skills. I don't know if they meant it to
be overall, but in my heart of heart, it's the
greatest woman to ever laced her boots is Oscar.

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
It's a respectable opinion.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Angel May says, it's surprising for me to say that
I think Charlotte Flair is probably the greatest female wrestler.
Her matches mainly only range from very good to amazing
class and she only has have mediocre matches with those
who just aren't honestly in her league. Many fans made
this like her, mainly those online, but there is a
reason why she's always on TV and news. She's one

(01:01:12):
of the few who always brings it. Justin Carson that
was Angel mays that he's spitting fire.

Speaker 5 (01:01:18):
That was incredible.

Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
You hear the thunder we don't, don't get and then.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
When we reap. But this is my second option in
my same reasoning. She's pretty great even if we all
hate her, and Angel says we here for me still
early to call the greatest. I can easily see it.
Great choice.

Speaker 5 (01:01:40):
Did Bianca get a vote?

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Nope?

Speaker 6 (01:01:45):
Did Sasha get a vote? I don't say why I
think that is?

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
But you think you think are we have? Are you
because they're brown? Are you saying it's because they're racist?

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
I'd like to say, I'd like a player that many
of our friends like, all the girls. Okay, I don't
see much racism in that section of our I would
like I would like to think that if I've learned
one thing from all of our friends here, there's so
much respect that crosses boundaries and there ain't no problems
here with that. Dude, I think you thought of it first,

(01:02:21):
and this is a smell that you dealt it. Situation.
You're the race, you're the racist banks Yeah, my trash
can spell over.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Okay, I thought that was a Sasha thick.

Speaker 4 (01:02:35):
Wrap this up real quick for me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
I gotta patreon dot com, sign upon cont ringers to
hear the Affree Ras podcast your early access to current

Hell yeah, I can't wait for night to cry.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
Fuck am I hope he leaves never comes back?

Speaker 12 (01:03:09):
Hell yeah, strange In the latest report, you gotta call
dirt shoot Busters sores. You gotta call dirt shoot Buster.

Speaker 9 (01:03:26):
Scriptop scoopoop no no re track shut scoopo turbo source.
That's interesting to note.

Speaker 5 (01:03:43):
Her as of last weekend, so I guess more recently
than last weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
I just don't buy it, Mike. I think it's always
the plan.

Speaker 6 (01:03:52):
Yeah, I mean, they literally did a whole thing with
Trish and tiffany earlier this year, teaming together and stuff.
So yeah, I mean might have had a little inkling
at least even back then, you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Know, but I just feel like they had Tiffany go
through with her storyline with n Jack. Sorry, now we're
going to introduce you to the new challenger, right uh DG.

Speaker 6 (01:04:17):
Britt Baker wants out of ae WH last month.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:04:29):
This is a two parter.

Speaker 6 (01:04:31):
Britt Baker is reportedly looking to leave All Elite Wrestling.
According to bodyslam dot Net, Britt Baker is actively seeking
to part ways with AEW. The former aw womns World
champion believes there's nothing left to keep her in the promotion,
with the talent pointing to burn Bridges and a belief
that the environment has changed around her.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
AW aren't currently looking to release.

Speaker 6 (01:04:50):
Baker from her contract, though, with Body Slam claiming that
the promotion are waiting for Evolution to pass and for
no further w W shows in Bigger's hometown of Pittsburgh
to be announced before allowing any potential split to move forward.
They're part of the huge impact she would have on Evolution,
right where like many of the greatest and biggest women's
stars of all time or wrestling got it?

Speaker 5 (01:05:12):
Uh here's the second part.

Speaker 6 (01:05:14):
Resent reports have suggested that Baker's determined to exit ADWH
follow up proportions PW inside on a fiightfle Select state
that Baker has not asked for her release from AW,
though flightful report states that some in AW believe that
the idea of Baker actively communicating that she wants out
of the company is and I quote news to them,
with Baker's conduct, especially on social media, no different than usual.

(01:05:37):
Bakers believe to still have well over a year left
on her AW contract, and if injury time is factored in,
then the DMD could be part of the company until
twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Oh man, obey.

Speaker 5 (01:05:50):
Hard to get away from there.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
That's a shame if you want out. But she has
an indication wants out.

Speaker 6 (01:05:54):
So yeah, I believe, just based on pure speculation and
not try and report or anything, do I believe for
Baker wants to leave AW and go to WW if
that options on the table, one hundred percent.

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
I believe that to be the case. Because she hasn't
been used in like a year.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
I was gonna say it like this kind of feels
like she's been just passed by in company, like she
was one of the originals, essentially one of the bigger
stars in the women's division, and then then they start
hiring other people. When is there. If Tony storms there,
they took all the spotlight and so they haven't tried
to build her back up. So I think it's just
a natural dirt sheet report.

Speaker 5 (01:06:29):
To be like, oh she wants out right, I think
that's natural.

Speaker 6 (01:06:31):
Do I believe it's possible she hasn't like gone to
AW be like hey I want to leave. Sure, I
believe that's plausible too, But I think if we use
our fucking common sense, probably wants to leave if that's
an option on the table. But we gotta do the
whole little dirt sheet fucking game and pretend like we
know things that we don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:06:53):
And that's how they do it.

Speaker 6 (01:06:55):
Pretty game thanxsans for PW Torch and Fight Full Select.
This is one of a couple that we actually did
discuss last week and didn't make the show. But let's
have some discourse about carrying cross bumping.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
For no reason? Ah, this one? This a little gem.

Speaker 5 (01:07:12):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (01:07:14):
A recent claim from Wade Keller of PW Torch noted
that Crosses fellow pro wrestlers don't believe he will ever
be pushed as a top star ONW because the thirty
nine year old allegedly doesn't really take bumps. By the way,
hulkgan he was bumping all the time and he.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Sure. Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:07:33):
This point of view is not shared by.

Speaker 6 (01:07:35):
A backstage personnel, though fight Will select His reported that
multiple people who have produced crosses matches in the past
claim that cross not bumping has never been an issue
they have encountered.

Speaker 5 (01:07:46):
So which is either a huge issue or not an issue?

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
Where does they even come from. He's a wrestler.

Speaker 5 (01:07:51):
I would like to know who's saying.

Speaker 6 (01:07:53):
And again, I mean seeing enough carry cross matches. He
just had a good one against Sammy at Night Champions.
Seemed to take a normal amount of bumps to me
in that match. Yeah, I don't like I'll say this.

Speaker 5 (01:08:04):
He's supposed to be.

Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
Like more of a dominant heel who gets more of
the offense in and then the baby face comes back.
I mean that's what he was dating back down XT
That's what he does, was probably in TNA and pretty
much everything else.

Speaker 5 (01:08:15):
It's how he's always been portrayed.

Speaker 6 (01:08:17):
So, Okay, you're a quote unquote dominant heel, You're not
gonna maybe bump as much as a normal wrestler. But
when it's time to take a bump, I've never thought
to myself, Wow, I can't believe he's not taking a bump.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
Yeah to me, this is this out someone's getting some popularity.
Let's bring him down.

Speaker 6 (01:08:34):
Yeah, well, let's bring him down, or let's just use
his name for any kind of clout week you know.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 5 (01:08:42):
Assessage from Flightful select a W is gonna announce a
match with people in it for all In.

Speaker 1 (01:08:48):
Let me tell you something like, I have never believed
something so much. You buy this because they'll probably be
like six of them announced on fucking Dynamite.

Speaker 6 (01:08:57):
It's like a match, only bigger, with lots of people
in it. According to flight Will Select, AW has confirmed
two more big title matches for the July twelfth show,
but there's still more to be added. The report notes
AW all In is under a week away and the
card is still coming together. We're told at least one
match with and I quote a number of performers was planned.

Speaker 5 (01:09:19):
To be added to the show.

Speaker 6 (01:09:20):
Fight Full added that match is expected to be announced
by this Thursday, the episode of Collision, you know, the
last fucking show they do before the.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Pay re view.

Speaker 6 (01:09:28):
Though it doesn't appear AW plans to cram the card
with as many matches as previous years.

Speaker 5 (01:09:32):
I'll believe that one when I see it.

Speaker 6 (01:09:34):
An ad A match with a number of performers?

Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
What's the number? To right? Every match has a number
of performers, sure does, there's not to my knowledge, a
match with infinite performers has match one person just wrestling themselves.

Speaker 5 (01:09:54):
If you count, like Penny Omega wrestling a blow up.

Speaker 6 (01:09:57):
Though maybe no, that's two performers, two performers, one person,
so it would only be the number of people would
only be one mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (01:10:06):
But that's still a number. They said performers, wait, performers
or people.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
I thought you said a number of performers. Hardy deleted that.
I don't know. That's all right, it doesn't matter. Wait, yeah,
number of performers.

Speaker 6 (01:10:20):
You're right, so you know what they even get They
even get away with it if it's like two dogs
having a match, which I would watch, by the way,
like air bud wrestling or something.

Speaker 5 (01:10:33):
But I digress.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:10:35):
That one's from melts in Flightful select ww planted the
fans cempunk apologize to in Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
Wow, that's a loaded report, Mike. Oh oh, you know,
I never know what they believing one.

Speaker 6 (01:10:52):
Uh Seeampunk's apology for his infamous twenty twenty tweet about
the MIZZ in Saudi Arabia aka blood Money covered Dick
cut everyone off guard. But now the internet's buzzing with
theories that the whole thing was carefully staged by w
W WOW. The unexpected moment happened during the night of
Champions kickoff show, when a fan of the crowd asked
Punk to apologize for the tweet he fired.

Speaker 5 (01:11:13):
Off six years ago.

Speaker 6 (01:11:14):
Instead of brushing it off, Punk lean into the moment
and for once ditched his usual sarcasm for once agendas. Here,
Punk made it clear that the tweet wasn't about Saudi
Arabia in the first place. The apology had quote unquote
experts like Dave Meltzer questioning the authenticity of the moment.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
I like that one quote unquote experts.

Speaker 6 (01:11:33):
Meltzer openly suggested the fan interaction was stage by WW
to help polish Punk's image, especially in Saudi Arabia. Obviously planted,
Meltzer said, implying the thing was part of ww's playbook
to avoid controversy. But according to report from Flight for
select WW staff were present backstage claimed they didn't hear
anything about the segment being set up in advance. For

(01:11:55):
some reason, there were rumors of a plant regarding Seampunk's
apology in Saudi Arabia. The staff we spoke to you said,
if that was the case, they hadn't heard of it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
You know, like, no one ever hears of anything. But
apparently someone's always talking.

Speaker 6 (01:12:11):
Yep, yeah, but rarely it's somebody that actually knows anything
that seems to be talking because the information is almost
be wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
So it's always someone that doesn't know ship is talking.
But then if you reach out to someone who might
know something, they don't know anything, and then that's talking.

Speaker 5 (01:12:25):
So we literally got the two opposite ends of the
report and we come out of it knowing nothing. That's
the experience. That's what I like to call it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
Oh wait, Donnie, we know you love this, but away you're.

Speaker 5 (01:12:38):
Ready for the Coudi graph. It's from wrestle votes. Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:12:44):
Maybe we have different definitions of the word imminent. How
would you use that word imminent if if you had.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
To honestly, like immediately very soon about the fucking happen
in front of eyes, agreed something that is about to
happen so.

Speaker 5 (01:13:01):
Two weeks ago. Basically this is.

Speaker 6 (01:13:03):
From okay, M During the latest Wrestle Votes Q and
A on Wrestle Binge, it was confirmed that there are
currently no plans for Drew McIntyre's return, leaving the former
ww champion on the sidelines for.

Speaker 5 (01:13:17):
The foreseeable future.

Speaker 6 (01:13:18):
And here's the quote, nothing on the pipeline recently, which
tells me it's not imminent.

Speaker 5 (01:13:23):
Okay, so this is about two weeks ago.

Speaker 6 (01:13:28):
M Last week, Drew McIntyre returns on SmackDown. But it's
not like he returned on a normal Friday SmackDown. He
returned on Monday because SmackDown was taped on Monday.

Speaker 5 (01:13:42):
It was a double taping of Ron SmackDown.

Speaker 6 (01:13:44):
So literally, just days after this report, see I'm sorry,
Drew McIntyre returns, which tells to me less than a
week later if he's returning. His return was in fact
in an absolutely yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:14:05):
To me, that's as imminent as you can get in
pro wrestling, Like the next show he comes back, that's imminent, and.

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
That's what we got.

Speaker 6 (01:14:16):
Great job, great job, wrestled the Donald Wood akka.

Speaker 5 (01:14:23):
BG, how we do My return is imminent? All right, guys?
It is time for fantasy standings. That's right.

Speaker 6 (01:14:38):
This weekend we got about one thousand pay per views,
A couple of them are WW related, and those are
gonna be the final ones before SummerSlam, which is the
end of Ringers Radio season forty fantasy WW Can you
believe that?

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
That's unbelievable. Man, We're getting very close.

Speaker 6 (01:14:57):
We're getting close. So this this is a big standings update.

Speaker 5 (01:15:02):
In last place, ninth with negative forty, having absolutely no
chance to win. George Cruz.

Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
I think deserves it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:08):
M He tells us these nice things that he texts.

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
Donnie, we don't get nice things. We don't get nice.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
Texts at all.

Speaker 6 (01:15:17):
We get it's you guys, wouldn't believe I showed you
some of this stuff. Uh an eighth of a negative
twenty five. George Sparrows, he doesn't text.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
Us at all.

Speaker 5 (01:15:26):
He doesn't like the show at all. I don't believe.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
But yeah, he absolutely hates us. Now I like him.
I like him too. I think it was very entertaining,
But we haven't heard from him for months, ever since
we had to go to Discord. I think he's anti discord.
And you know, if he just said it was anti Donnie.
I totally get it, because Donnie fucking sucks. I'm so
happy he's not here. He's a piece of shit. I'm
sure he's listening right now.

Speaker 5 (01:15:45):
Probably is. Uh, he's obsessed with us. In seventh with

point God b g buddy, you are dominating the season.

Speaker 5 (01:16:49):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
Ship? That's fucking crazy. I'm nervous now because we have
a lot of shows coming up. I needed to be
no shows.

Speaker 6 (01:16:57):
I'm gonna panic and make the worst possible move after
revolution and ruin your chances.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
It's definitely gonna happen.

Speaker 6 (01:17:04):
Here's the thing I mean obviously you got a good chance.
You're like freaking fifty points up almost. But there are
a lot of shows between now and summer summer slimes
two nights.

Speaker 5 (01:17:15):
It's gonna be a lot of matches. Could be interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
Still, I really need EO to lose, to lose the rhea. Yeah,
well we talked about it.

Speaker 5 (01:17:25):
I I think she is gonna lose. I think he
can lose, but not guaranteed.

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
You never know, never know.

Speaker 6 (01:17:35):
All right, Well, that's it for fancy things. We're moving
on to the email section. And I gotta tell you, guys,
we had an absolutely freaking epic email section last week.
We're the only ones that know about it right now
because it went away. Unfortunately, we're gonna try to redo it.
We're gonna start with an email from Dan the b

(01:17:56):
seven Marsh subject current WW storylines. Guys, by the way,
send us emails to Ring Rose Radio at gmail dot com.
I'll go to Patreon dot com slash Ring Rose Radio.
If you can contribute to the email tier higher. We
have to read at least one of your emails every
single month is from Dan.

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
All.

Speaker 6 (01:18:12):
I don't mean to sound like Donald, It's not how
you want to start an email usually because that means, yeah,
you might sound like them, which you don't want to do.
But most of the current storylines bore me. I enjoyed
no champions, and for the most part the matches were fine.
My hope is that Seth Rollins fails in his cash in,
and when he does it, I thought that there was
going I thought that was going to happen last night.

Speaker 5 (01:18:33):
This might have been last week, but I'm not entirely
sure what he's referred to.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
I think he meant the champions could.

Speaker 6 (01:18:38):
Be Rollins needs to lose his cash in in order
to keep things interesting because this current little group with
that fat, pudgy sidekick of his needs to go or
paul him.

Speaker 5 (01:18:49):
And I can't believe that they're going to do next
year's World Romal in Saudi Arabia. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting.

Speaker 6 (01:18:54):
The cost of transferring sixty wrestlers plus all the other
technical people of Saudi has to be incredible.

Speaker 5 (01:18:59):
But the sides are rich and they can afford the tickets.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Love radio.

Speaker 6 (01:19:03):
I mean, they're getting paid enough. Then they're gonna transport
the wrestlers in the equipment. I guess that is what
it comes down to.

Speaker 5 (01:19:11):
But yeah, I was the thing.

Speaker 6 (01:19:13):
Yeah, the ring rose the thing with the Rollins group. Uh,
it's not lived up to its fullest potential yet. I
will say I think they took a good step in
the right direction on Raw because we finally got a
little bit of explanation for like why this group is together.
A bron Breaker came out and said it. But they
actually shine the light on bron Breaker, which is something

(01:19:33):
they hadn't really been doing. Yeah, and it was good
that they did because you know, obviously Bron's gonna be
your breakout star coming out of this. Obviously right now
you're building towards Seth's gonna be world champion. But I
think the ultimate goal of this is for Bron to
be main event ready once this is all over. And
he got spotlight cut a promo explain like the reason

(01:19:54):
I joined this group is because, uh, Seth and Paul
am and they laid out the vision to me, I'm
gonna be the guy basically coming out of this, I'm
gonna be the face of b So I'm glad that
we finally got to hear that. And I like the
through line of Raw when they each had a match
and they were trying to you know, destroy all the
guys that have been kind of getting in their way lately,
and then La Knight gets the better of them in

(01:20:16):
La Knight gets a huge fucking pop and that was
a great ending to the show. I felt like it
presented La Knight as the star that he is, So
I thought that was kind of the best for an
entire show that they've done with presenting this group. But
before that, I don't think that it was really hitting
on all cylinders. I thought that it was falling short
in a lot of respects. My expectation, my hope is

(01:20:37):
that once Seth cashes in, I do not want Seth
to fail his cash in. I want him to succeed
in his cash in because I think Seth is one
of the best in the world right now and has
been for a long time, and I think he'll be
great as champion with being insulated by bron Breaker and
Bronson Reid, and I think it'll make for good television
and good storylines.

Speaker 5 (01:20:57):
My hope is that once they do that, then we're
going to get the best of this group.

Speaker 6 (01:21:02):
But I do largely agree with Dan saying until last
night on RAW, I wasn't really loving what we were
getting as a whole from this group because it wasn't
living up to its potential.

Speaker 5 (01:21:12):
Not that it was horrible, but it wasn't what I
was expecting or hoping for.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
Yeah, I agree overall with your sentiment about RAW. It
was their best showing I did. We're all enjoy the
promo to start ron explaining Well. I liked most about
that promo actually was Seth and not even saying a word.
Everyone talking. Yeah, let everyone do their talking, and basically
just sitting back like I am in so many ways

(01:21:36):
without saying a word. I'm the visionary of all of
what everything just said and the whole plan of the
future and what's been happening for months. So I actually
enjoyed the aspect of it. The group overall still isn't
really doing anything for me, though I said this in
an Hour Never to be released from last week. Yeah,

(01:21:58):
that I was intrigued by Braun joining bron Breaker, joining
Seth and Paul him and right after Raw, right after WrestleMania,
and I enjoyed that impact that he had in that
segment taking out Saam punkin Roll Marines. But then ever
since I felt like he's been in the shadow and
that he was actually better off before joining the group.

(01:22:20):
I'm still in that territory mic even with last night
and him explaining what that is, because to me, even
without the group, I think everyone was able to see it,
even on the show if you're a fan like, oh,
this guy is gonna be a major star and probably
for fucking two decades with how young he is, and
that you didn't need this group for us. I really
still want them to push him forward. I think him

(01:22:44):
being like Icy Champion for example, would do that as
opposed to mostly beginning tech team matches a lot a
lot of the time with Bronzon Reed. So I just
like that you do a better job than no, go
for it.

Speaker 5 (01:22:57):
I just think that what I would have done.

Speaker 6 (01:22:59):
If you're gonna have them doing a lot of tag
matches him and Brodson Reid, I think they should have
won like the type the tag titles on their first
immediate team.

Speaker 1 (01:23:06):
Absolutely and absolutely agree with.

Speaker 6 (01:23:08):
That, And then I realize, Okay, that means you're kind
of sticking them into a tag team for now, but
he's still gotta have singles matches when it's time to
have singles matches, Like both of those guys have been
having singles matches, but you immediately established him as a
dominant team and is a threat and they can just
run through people, and I think you elevate both of
them if you would have done that.

Speaker 5 (01:23:24):
And it's not like you're doing jack fucking shit with
the titles anyways.

Speaker 1 (01:23:28):
So you might exactly. And I always like when a
stable has all the gold, and so I really wish
they would have just pulled the trigger on that, for
like you said first night, we're a tag team, boom,
we win gold, Like that doesn't happen often. I hope
that would have been really cool. So yeah, I just
feel like they have to do better. And I do
think that one set does win the championship, which we
are hoping that is at Summer Slam.

Speaker 6 (01:23:51):
That's what the idea that we talked about last week
with Saturday Night's made event.

Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
Oh yeah, I really don't want that because that was
through my fantasy that gatter the win. So yeah, they
do a better job. That Next email comes from Matt
Bowers of Pain. Subject is top ten Lists. Hello, Mike
mbgvie shows up, never shows.

Speaker 5 (01:24:14):
Up once again, did not show up.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
Yep, So this isn't a wrestling top ten that's all.
It would be fun whether your top ten nineties toys
from when you were a kid have fun. Can't wait
to hear Matt Bowers.

Speaker 6 (01:24:30):
Let's be honest about this situation. Okay, let's be honest, Mike.
This is what devastated us the most. Like, Okay, we
lost dirty Buzzers, we lost Fantasy Standings, we lost you know,
another email last week.

Speaker 5 (01:24:42):
Can live with that. But we lost our discussion.

Speaker 6 (01:24:45):
Of this email, which is something we are both very
passionate about, and that devastated us. But we're gonna try
to do that conversation again. I can't promise it's gonna
be as good as the first one would have been.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
Yep, we'll never know, but you're fucking gold. We firmly
believe it was one of the greatest segments of most
radio history.

Speaker 5 (01:25:05):
And then nothing to do with the wrestling, but.

Speaker 1 (01:25:08):
There's a little bit of wrestling in here, but it
was so much fun, so much passion involved. So we will.
I'll tell you what, Mike. I have thought about this
every day for a week. Same. I have not changed
my list me neither. I had not gone back to
look at anything that we had discussed or anything of
the sort.

Speaker 5 (01:25:27):
Yep, living in the moment.

Speaker 1 (01:25:29):
We're gonna live in the moment once again. Actually I lied.
I did add two things to my honorable mentions.

Speaker 6 (01:25:34):
Okay, I mentioned I think I added I might added
one thing to my honorable mentions because it came to
my mind that I don't think we discussed it at all.

Speaker 1 (01:25:43):
Oh okay, but we we had mentioned some things in
just talking and I was like, oh, I want to
make sure we don't forget that, So we'll get to that,
and Alma mentions. My top ten has not changed. I
am starting, Mike. Yeah, So this my list is all
about feels and vibes and taking myself back to childhood.

Speaker 5 (01:26:05):
What's nostalgic to you?

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
What was nostalgic to me? And I really focused my
entire top ten. The focus is action figures. Okay, there's
other toys that we will talk about later and we'll
talk about, but for me, I was only focused on
action figures.

Speaker 6 (01:26:23):
Okay, And for me, because it was top ten nineties toys,
I looked at it through a full scope and the
vast majority of my list is action figures. But there
are two things on this list that I would say
are not action figures, so we'll discuss that a little
bit also.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
That's fair, but like no video games, no board games
or anything like that, I am starting with. I remember
watching the show. I just love these toys. I feel
like I had like every toy from this this property
and that is biker mice from Mars, Mike. I don't

(01:27:02):
know if you watched this growing up, but it was
so fucking cool because they were bad ass, fucking might
They're all fucking done up and like jackets and vests
and all this ship. Yes, and they had these awesome, awesome,
fucking motorcycles that they had. I remember the villain was

(01:27:23):
like this man scientist and it was just so called.
All these fucking toys, and I know I think it
was a video game too, but I never I don't
even think I played the Villa game.

Speaker 6 (01:27:31):
But I've not played it yet either, but I have
it on my emulator and I oh, I'm gonna try
at some point. I believe it's supposed to be like
Rock and Roll racing, do you know that game. It's
kind of like an isometric racing game, so it's.

Speaker 5 (01:27:47):
Not even like it's not like a beat them up
like you would have with a lot of these, but
it's just them racing their fucking motorcycles.

Speaker 1 (01:27:52):
Yeah, I guess that makes sense because the big thing
was the motorcycles and these things. I mean it was
almost like a weapon, these motorcycles. They were so cool,
so sturdy, and the toys were such great quality. Because
you're getting now it's a little bit of the later nineties,
and so the quality of toys really started to ramp up.
And so this is my number ten.

Speaker 6 (01:28:12):
So that did not make my listen, didn't make my
honorable mention.

Speaker 5 (01:28:15):
And I had so many of those figures.

Speaker 6 (01:28:17):
I had, like the villain where like his face like
popped off and he was like alien underneath. And I
did not have the playset, but that playset it was
like a layer or something.

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:28:28):
And I remember they had like a basketball hoop that
you could just shoot out, right, Mike, I had basketballs
or projectiles.

Speaker 5 (01:28:35):
I wish I had that.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
I had that. That was awesome. Great, you just a
lot the whole fucking memory of that basketball hoop.

Speaker 5 (01:28:40):
But yeah, I remember this so well.

Speaker 4 (01:28:42):
The show.

Speaker 6 (01:28:43):
It was short lived, but I remember enjoying it. And
now they have like new versions of biker from Mars,
like you go to the borrow. If you go to
like the video game section Walmart where they have kind
of like some toys and Funko pops and stuff, you
could probably find them there.

Speaker 5 (01:28:57):
But they're they're pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
Yeah, that's all awesome.

Speaker 5 (01:29:00):
Yeah, my number ten.

Speaker 6 (01:29:02):
This is a property that I was obsessed with, the movie,
the figures, the video game.

Speaker 5 (01:29:11):
It's my favorite Disney movie of all time. Aladdin.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Oh see, sorry to cut you off, Mike, I had that.
I will mention I comboed it Lion King and Aladdin.

Speaker 6 (01:29:23):
Yes, Lion King is in my honorable mention. I loved
both of them. I feel like I played with.

Speaker 5 (01:29:27):
The Aladdin more though, and I was more of an
Aladdin fan than Lion King.

Speaker 1 (01:29:31):
But I love both.

Speaker 6 (01:29:33):
But I just like the figures were so great. They
had a couple of different playsets. They had like the
Cave of Wonders where like you go in and like
the boulders can like drop from the ceiling and fall
on the guy. And they had one that was like
I think the the and like the Palace where like
Defarturns and like the Evil Genie and shit, I think

(01:29:54):
there's a place and literally just every like major character
in that show. They had a figure for it. They
had a bunch of different genies, and it kind of
reminded me of like something we'll talk about in a
little while. I'm sure TMNT where they like had different
turtles and disguise and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
But it was so great.

Speaker 5 (01:30:10):
I loved the movie.

Speaker 6 (01:30:11):
The video game, especially the second Tenniss version, is one
of the any one of the greatest video games probably
of all time.

Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
So I was just fully invested in Aladdin at this time, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:30:20):
And the quality of those figures were so nice. It
was Disney, so you know, they have to have good figures,
and I just remember getting every a good story about this. Actually, Mike, well,
sort of. This is, you know, we're getting around the
holiday times and my parents getting into all these toys,
being my brother and my brother was seven years old

(01:30:42):
of me, and I had like a toy sword by
like a plastic sword like Nina had like a million
of those, and I accidentally hit my brother in the
eye with it. It was accent, but we were like
playing and this whole accident, and but earlier I was like, oh,

(01:31:03):
I want like all the all my presents and this
and that, and they were so mad at me for
doing that. That like the punishment was, here's all your
fucking presence, go in your room and like be alone,
and oh my god, Christmas. I think it was before.

Speaker 13 (01:31:22):
Okay, and and so I just remember there being like upset,
but also I have all these toys and it was
a whole Aladdin line, like every single thing you can
think of of the figures.

Speaker 6 (01:31:33):
So you didn't give a fuck that you poked your
brother in the eye because you got because.

Speaker 14 (01:31:37):
I felt really bad, But that was like the punishment
was getting all the toys. I feel like that's not
a good punishment, but that was the memory of getting
all of those toys.

Speaker 6 (01:31:51):
That definitely not because like you'd probably be like, Okay,
next time I do it, I'm gonna get more presents.

Speaker 1 (01:31:56):
So no, not like you're old enough to know, like
I like hurt my brother, but yeah, I love all
those action figures were incredible. Uh So, Mike No. Number
nine sticking with Disney. I don't know if you watched
this show, but you're a hockey guy, and this is
for It wasn't even like long lived, but I was

(01:32:19):
like obsessed with this show and they had unbelievable action
figures the Mighty Ducks.

Speaker 6 (01:32:26):
Yep, because I I did watch that show a little bit.
I'll be honest, though, there's just some like I had.
I had most stuff from most figure lines during that time.

Speaker 1 (01:32:38):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (01:32:38):
There would be a couple that was still through the cracks,
so like I never had a Street Shark, and I
wish I had because I fucking I'm sure awesome.

Speaker 6 (01:32:45):
Yeah, but I never had like any of the regular
figures of the Mighty Ducks, or maybe I had maybe
like one or two, but I definitely didn't have a
lot of them. I remember having like the McDonald's toys, Yes,
I had all those.

Speaker 1 (01:32:59):
Awesome so those were very cool. But the original Mighty
Ducks action figures, these things were fucking huge for like
that time period. Like they were sturdier than biker mice,
all the pads, they had, hockey sticks, then they had
the one the goalie came with a fucking goal Like
it was just so awesome and I was just obsessed
with this show. It was probably like less than a year,

(01:33:21):
but I had every single line. They were so cool
and I loved the Mighty Ducks the actual movies and
just such a fucking badass logo probably, I mean easily
my favorite, that Mike the Shark's favorite hockey logos of
all time. Just so cool. And these action figures were
just such high quality and they were like double the
size of like the Aladdin figure, maybe triple the size

(01:33:42):
the Alatin figures. Yeah, so awesome, huge, And I mean
I had my Biker Mice Mars for example, like for longer,
but when Mighty Ducks hit, like it fucking hit for me.
It was so cool. I even got like my best
friend to get into it and he had all the
fucking it was awesome.

Speaker 6 (01:33:58):
Yeah, if I could go back in time, that's it's
definitely like it's like get more of a toy line
that you didn't really have that would be up there
because those are so cool and it's amazing like what
they did just with basically a logo and like a property,
the Anaheim Heady Ducks.

Speaker 5 (01:34:12):
Not only do you have a hockey.

Speaker 6 (01:34:13):
Team, you have amazing movies, and you have this this
cartoon and figure line and like there's nothing else I
could think of that they really that it is comparable
to that, which is pretty cool, so cool. It's a
power Disney, I guess. Oh yeah, my number nine is
a first non action figure and treated on this list

(01:34:34):
creepy Crawlers. Oh, I think I've made my love for
creepy crawlers no before, like in the the our gift
drafts that we do every year for Christmas. I'm pretty
sure I've drafted this a time or two, but I
played with creepy crawlers so much for really, I don't
really know, uh, creeper crawlers. It's basically like the boy
version of Easy Bake Oven, and it was like an

(01:34:56):
orange oven, and it comes with more of bugs, and
you have either like stuff you could put in there
and you make like rubber bugs of any color you want.
You can put all kinds of different color combinations that
you can play with these, so kind of is like
a not necessarily an action figure, but I mean it's
like a kind of a cannibal toy that you can

(01:35:17):
play with.

Speaker 1 (01:35:19):
But then there's also there were also edible ones. Yeah,
like edible and you based.

Speaker 6 (01:35:24):
Are eating like your own fruit snacks that you made,
like your own colors and stuff like that. But you
could have like you know, centipedes and fucking wasps and
all kinds of crazy shit spiders. Yeah, yeah, scorpions hundred percent.
It was just I don't know, I feel like I
probably made a thousand of these fucking bugs, Like for

(01:35:44):
whatever reason, I just loved them, and it was just
It's one of the things that sticks most of my memory.

Speaker 5 (01:35:49):
From like playing with toys in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
That is a great choice. So it's such a nineties thing.
I never have it. But I had a friend and
we went over to his house often enough where I
would just come home with so many creepy callers. I
had so many, But we never had that, right, so
it doesn't crack my top ten. But I remember going
to that friend's house and we would just spend like

(01:36:13):
fucking over an hour, two hours, like making creepy col
it like you said, you could put the different dye
in for different coloring, and that was a cool product.
It was cool. I love it. My number eight Space
Jam figures Mike Gooda hits.

Speaker 5 (01:36:31):
That's how my honorable mention.

Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
I'll say that I love these figures so much. I mean,
you're talking about peak nineties of Michael Jordan, the fucking
best ever, coolest athlete ever, just a fucking idol, really
starting to get into sports even more loving basketball. The
movie is unbelieve. I love Looney Tunes, loved all the
players in that movie, and I just remember that Holly

(01:36:57):
season getting like every single Space Have action figure and
it was the coolest fucking thing.

Speaker 6 (01:37:03):
Yeah, I mean, Space Jam is legitimately one of my
favorite movies of all time because I just watched so
much as a kid who doesn't like Looney Tunes and
who doesn't like Michael Jordans in basketball.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:37:13):
And the toy line was amazing, Like I had the
three pack of Michael Jordan, like his three different things.
He was a basketball player and a golf baseball player.

Speaker 1 (01:37:22):
I didn't have that one.

Speaker 5 (01:37:23):
Yeah, that was pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (01:37:25):
And then it was just awesome how they had like
the combinations of like the Looney Tunes with the so
you have Michael Jordan, but like.

Speaker 5 (01:37:31):
They had Patrick Ewing, I know, they had Charles Barkley.

Speaker 6 (01:37:35):
I know, so you get like, yep, there was a
space ship like accessory that came up like a little Aliens.

Speaker 1 (01:37:43):
I had a little space Yeah. And they even had like.

Speaker 5 (01:37:47):
Some large like they had like large Michael Jordan's that
like could dress up and ship like that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:53):
So they had Remember I remember seeing that they had
a lot of a lot of toys and products for this,
uh in rightful? Yeah, I love like you said. One
of the best movies ever.

Speaker 5 (01:38:03):
M My number eight is Batman the Animated Series.

Speaker 6 (01:38:11):
I think I think today, I don't know what the
view of it was at the time, but I feel
like it's you almost gained popularity today because like they
have like new versions of the Batman the Animated Series
toys that are look awesome.

Speaker 5 (01:38:27):
But Batman is obviously so huge.

Speaker 6 (01:38:29):
But I think people look back on it now and
they're like, it was like a revolutionary type of cartoon
at the time because it was like very dark and
it was unlike the typical child's cartoon at the time,
but it was it was amazing. Like I remember watching
it like every day coming home from school and just
being locked in on it. And the thing that was
so great about this figure line is you had everything

(01:38:52):
you want. You had Batman, had like a million different
versions of Batman, like his different suits, you had Robin,
you know, you had your heroes, and then there was
so many like every villain from the show that you
could think of was in this. And I like just
the kind of the off the walls like Clay Face
was an amazing figure.

Speaker 1 (01:39:07):
Kill Croc.

Speaker 5 (01:39:08):
Guys like that were so cool.

Speaker 6 (01:39:10):
You had the batmobile, you had his bat wing, and
you had the Batcave slash Wayne manor which was such
a good place that I had like his own, like
that kind of headquarters where you watch all the screens
and stuff like that, so you could do so much
shit with that and fun fact, like a couple of
months ago at a thrift store, I found a Batman

(01:39:33):
animated series Batcave for like.

Speaker 1 (01:39:36):
Cool, wow, crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:39:39):
It was missing like a couple of like pieces from
the inside, so it wasn't complete, but for the most part,
you know, no, if you just looked at it and
you hadn't didn't know any.

Speaker 5 (01:39:48):
Better, you would think it was totally fine. And it's
so for five bucks.

Speaker 6 (01:39:53):
I couldn't believe that I found that because you never
find like vintage nineties.

Speaker 5 (01:39:56):
Toys in general.

Speaker 6 (01:39:57):
But to find out it was so cool and it
brought me back instead, that's very cool.

Speaker 1 (01:40:01):
I wasn't really into Batman Administer is growing up. I
love the movies, but the action movie.

Speaker 6 (01:40:09):
I liked the movie figures too, but they weren't as cool.
I feel like the Batman eighty nine and figures and
stuff weren't quite as cool and advance as like the
Animate series one tour.

Speaker 1 (01:40:19):
Yeah, so I never got into that. But I remember
going towards Ross and it would just be a fucking
wall of Batman. But I never got into that. I
got into Batman like that ad ministries as an adult
because it's on Max fucking very show yep.

Speaker 5 (01:40:32):
I watched the Christmas one around Christmas time this year. Christmas.
I was a joker. I loved that episode.

Speaker 1 (01:40:36):
That's a good one, all right. My number seven, like
now with number seven is when we really get into
like the heavy hitters. For me, growing up, this property
was a little past my time as one of my brothers,
so we actually had a ton that he had growing up.
Then once I got into it with the nineties line,

(01:40:58):
it was like just a combo and there was so
many Gi Joe all over the house, and I had,
I'm combo in this and then cheat a little bit
like Gi Joe. I'm mixing in the street Fighter and
Moral Combat lines the same.

Speaker 5 (01:41:12):
Thing, right, So I was not I was not a
regular g I Joe guy at all, because like that's
some so stuff that was like from the mid eighties
and before I wasn't really like if it was late
late eighties, I could get into it. Like Food Fighters
was like like a lateies thing. I fucking loved food
Fighters didn't make my.

Speaker 6 (01:41:29):
List because it was from the ladies, not nineties.

Speaker 5 (01:41:31):
Loved food Fighters.

Speaker 6 (01:41:32):
But I feel like g I Joe was a little
before my time. Masters of the Universe was a little
before my time. Transformers was a little before my time.

Speaker 5 (01:41:38):
So I just never I had some Gi Joe's.

Speaker 6 (01:41:42):
I had specifically the Moral Combat and street Fighter ones
on my honorable mention, though I had all of those
and those were amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:41:48):
Those are so cool, especially growing up in the nineties.
Street Fighting Work Combat went to with the greatest video
games of all time, and these things they just took over.
So getting action figures of those players of a character
I'm fighting with in the game, I was like, this
is so fucking cool. But g I Joe. I have
to cheat a little bit here because a few of
the ones I love were from the eighties.

Speaker 5 (01:42:10):
But it probably reproduced them in the nineties too.

Speaker 1 (01:42:13):
They did, but they weren't as cool as the ones
we have from the eighties. So like Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow,
and I had Dice Slice, Viper, Iceberg Cobra Commanders, such
a cool figure. My aunt and uncle once they figured out,
once they learned that I got into G I Joe,
they got this thing called the Patriot. It was this

(01:42:33):
fucking awesome tank. And my brother had the USS Flag
aircraft carrier and a submarine thing called the nightst Record.
These things were fucking huge, Like, it was so cool.

Speaker 6 (01:42:45):
That's like the holy Grail of G I Joe like
items that everybody wants to have, because yeah, that thing
is fucking assive. It takes up like probably your whole
play space that you could have, and then there's so
many pieces that would be easy to lose.

Speaker 5 (01:42:57):
On that ship too, But that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:43:00):
It was fucking awesome. So G I Joe very cool.

Speaker 6 (01:43:05):
Uh my number seven, it's my second, my final non
action figure related thing. But I think it's quintessential nineties
for a toy.

Speaker 3 (01:43:13):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:43:13):
I'm going with super Soaker. Oh Man, great fucking choice.
There's a lot of about that variance of super Soakers.
The one that sticks out to me though is the classic.
It's like the greenish kind of like tube that you
put the water in and it's orange and white, and
like there was nothing better for whatever reason. Like I

(01:43:34):
had like probably a million water guns, but that Super
Soaker was better than all of them.

Speaker 5 (01:43:38):
It had like the freaking water pressure and you would
just destroy people with that thing after a few pumps.
It was amazing.

Speaker 6 (01:43:45):
Had so many like water wars with my friends in
the yard and then you know we'd do that. We'd
then we'd have fucking toy guns and swords and shit,
and you just it was just like an all out war.
Uh yeah, such good memories of that one thing. I'll say, like,
do you remember the thing? It was like I just
remember the commercials. I never had it where like you

(01:44:05):
could like tell the thing to fire and it would
shoot water or whatever you'd like command it.

Speaker 5 (01:44:11):
Do you remember what I'm talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:44:13):
It wasn't a gun, right, it was something. It wasn't
a gun.

Speaker 6 (01:44:15):
It was like attached to your head and you'd be
like fire and the thing was like supposed to shoot
water at somebody. I don't know if that was Super
Soaker or not, or if that was like a different company.

Speaker 5 (01:44:25):
I never had it.

Speaker 6 (01:44:26):
Years later I heard like it didn't really work that
good at all, So it's probably best I didn't have it,
but I just remember the commercials for that too, Like
just like water guns and stuff in general.

Speaker 5 (01:44:36):
Uh, that's some of like the most fun things you
could play with.

Speaker 1 (01:44:38):
As a kid. Very cool now you mentioned it, though,
just a kind of similar thing. But nerve guns, yes,
that's nerve guns were huge in our house and we
would go outside and we would set g I Joe
was like on the fence and shoot it down with
like nerve guns.

Speaker 5 (01:44:56):
That's very cool.

Speaker 1 (01:44:58):
Uh. That's a great one, supersand is great. Uh my
number six, Mike. I don't know if you were into
this show, but I like got all my friends into
this beast Wars and I was like, you, Transformers was
before my time. We had a couple of Transformers. Like remember,
I guess wasn't really into it, but we had a
couple and I was like, ah, these things aren't that
coolong we were like it and Beast Wars though now

(01:45:21):
you're in the nineties. The fucking show was unbelievable and
the action figures were so intricate and high quality. I
was all over these things. The trans Metal cheet Tour
and optimist primal thing called Wolfgang that kind of resemble
a pet that we had Megatron rat track. Like, these
things were so fucking cool. They weren't the easiest to

(01:45:42):
transform those A lot of times I would be like,
all right, you're now transformed, and I'm not transforming you
back into an hour. But I love these things. I
got all my friends into it. It was such a
cool property. I loved these Wars so much.

Speaker 5 (01:45:54):
Yeah, I I never really had any transformers. I didn't
have the beast Wars.

Speaker 6 (01:45:58):
I remember them on the show, though, I'm thinking they
were cool, and like thinking, like, if I was gonna
have transformers, like I would want them to be the
Beast Wars rather than like regular Transformers because they're very
cooler and they have new versions out now, and I'll
go down on the toilet and I'll see them.

Speaker 5 (01:46:13):
Yeah, I'll be like, those are still pretty cool, but.

Speaker 6 (01:46:16):
I don't need to be like collecting more random ship
that present days.

Speaker 3 (01:46:22):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:46:23):
But yeah, I those were very cool.

Speaker 6 (01:46:25):
I'd never had them, but I wouldn't mind having some
if I if I could. And that actually just reminded
me because you mentioned the street Fighter and uh Moral Kombat,
uh g I Joe's there's new like street Fighter figures
that are out these I think they're made by They're
called a company called Jada Toys. They're basically like if
you had like a current day like Mattel w B Wrestler,

(01:46:47):
like with all the articulation and stuff, but it's street Fighter.
I have to stop myself every time I see them
on the shelves from buying them because it's like from
you know, our street fighter like street Fighter to.

Speaker 5 (01:46:58):
Stuff like those characters. Dude, they're amazing, that's so cool.

Speaker 3 (01:47:03):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:47:03):
My number six is.

Speaker 6 (01:47:07):
Maybe a figure line that I had the most of
outside of wrestling when I was a kid, and that's
x Men.

Speaker 5 (01:47:15):
I feel like X Men ran throughout the entire nineties,
the toy line.

Speaker 1 (01:47:18):
Yeah, my list, Mike. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:47:21):
And you know what, if I didn't, if I redid
my list on another day, it probably would be higher
on my list. Like that's it's kind of interchangeable with
a lot of things because there's so much that I liked,
but I had so many of them. Like within the
last year, I got like a tote out of my
my grandma's basement and a lot of my old X
Men were in there. I showed you pictures of them.

(01:47:41):
I mean it was very cool to be able to
see those again.

Speaker 1 (01:47:45):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:47:46):
But I just had so many of them. You know,
every character you can imagine from the show, and the
show is one of the greatest animated series of all time,
without question. Uh, and to have like the figures of
all of them. The Arcade game is one of the
greatst video games of all time.

Speaker 6 (01:47:59):
So I was playing oh yeah, you know that at
the Arcade all the time, and I was just like
entrenched in X Men at this time, and I had
so many cool like.

Speaker 5 (01:48:09):
You know, they had like the ship that you could have,
They had the sec that.

Speaker 1 (01:48:13):
The Sentinel, yeah, oh my god, Crown Jewel, and.

Speaker 6 (01:48:17):
They had such cool actions too, like the Cyclops you
could touch a thing and it looked like he was
shooting like laser out of his eyes. Or they had
like the Magneto that was like I think had like
a magnetic thing on him.

Speaker 1 (01:48:28):
That.

Speaker 6 (01:48:30):
Yeah, they were ahead of their time because there were
not really toys that are doing action and stuff like that.
So I just it was it was special when you
go to like Toys r Us uh and get a
freaking new X Men figure. And I had probably one
hundred of them.

Speaker 1 (01:48:45):
I'll be talking more of X Men in a bit
love it. My number five Mike is Star Wars, specifically
the nineteen ninety five to nineteen ninety six lines.

Speaker 4 (01:48:56):
I had.

Speaker 1 (01:48:57):
I have a bunch of the figures listed here. I
love Star Wars so much much at this time because
Star Wars really was my brother's thing, like he was
into you know, Master of the Universe, g I, Joe,
but Star Wars was the biggest fucking thing in There was.

Speaker 6 (01:49:12):
No Star Wars in terms of new movies for us,
and we were a little older, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:49:16):
Right, and so it wasn't So this is several years
before I was getting into into like that movie. But
I started to get into Star Wars because my dad
was just like, hey, you want to see a cool movie,
and he puts on Star Wars and it was hooked.
I was like, oh my god, it's like mind blowing.
And so then I started getting into the toys, specifically
the Black Outfit, Return of the Jedi Luke. There was

(01:49:39):
a hot costume for Luke and Hans Solo. There was
a Stormtrooper Luke that you could take the helmet on
and off, which I love because I remember that you
only get so many Stormtroopers to have. I was like, okay,
I need another Stormtrooper. Put the helmet on. Yeah, it
was like two toys and once right. The dars Vader
was so fucking awesome. My brother he's in an eighties

(01:50:01):
so they had the eighties line. They like everything, and
my dad even had a couple like unboxed I'm sorry
boxed that they never opened up as like you know,
plucked his item and getting the nineties line though. These
action figures were such better quality. They were more sturdy,
they were like you know, Vadors, like fucking ripped.

Speaker 5 (01:50:20):
They were all like way more ripped than the original figure.

Speaker 1 (01:50:23):
It was so much better. Hell yeah, there was a
Luke Digabat training figure, Chewbacca indoor gear Han Solo Boba Fette.

Speaker 6 (01:50:33):
I don't know if you like the big things too,
like the Jaba the oh yeah, and all that.

Speaker 1 (01:50:38):
Ship was the thing that Luke kills in Return of
the Jedly, a massive fucking like overlooking thing. Yeah, I
don't know what it's called. We had that. Yeah, there
was almost cool. It was Imperial Guard disguised Luke where
he's in this whole red get up, and the helmet
also came on off very cool Orlando, the Javas, Yoda,

(01:51:02):
the Droids, had a bunch of vehicles and play sets,
the Millennium Falcon And even though Mike I was phasing
out of action figures when Phantom Menace came out, I
just remember as soon as that came out going to
Toys r US and it was just a c of
action figures. And right after seeing Phantom Menace, going Toys

(01:51:25):
for Us and I need to buy a Darth Mall
action figure. Yeah, and just immediately had to get it
and likes like Qui Gon and Obi Wan. But the
Darth Mall, I was like, this is one of the
coolest fucking things I've ever seen. With the dual lightsaber,
I was like, holy shit. So had to go get

(01:51:45):
a Dark Male even though I was facing out of
the action figures.

Speaker 5 (01:51:48):
So Star Wars on my honorable mention.

Speaker 6 (01:51:50):
DAP didn't take my list, And the only reason is
because like I didn't get into it until like the
very end of when I was getting like figures and
playing with them and stuff. Because what really got me
into was episode one coming off Phantom Menace, and it
was like mass hysteria. The figures came out because it
was the first new Star Wars movie and like well
over a decade at that point, and I just remember

(01:52:12):
going to Toys r US and like it was the
biggest like section of all like Phantom Menace figures you
could ever imagine, and I got all those and that
got me into like buying, Like the power of the
Force is what I think you were mostly describing for.

Speaker 5 (01:52:27):
The ones you had.

Speaker 6 (01:52:27):
That's like what the line was called the nineties Star
Wars figures is power of the Force. And I was
getting those two like you know, Luke and Han Solo
and Darth Vader and all them and playing with those,
and I had a great time with it. The only
thing was it was probably only like a year and
then I was kind of out of them. So if
I had them for longer and play with them for longer,
I would have had it on the list.

Speaker 5 (01:52:48):
But those were awesome.

Speaker 6 (01:52:50):
And the cool thing about like Power the Force is
if you want those figures, you can go into any
like old toy shop now and find a million of them,
and they're probably not more than like five bucks, So
like if you want to just collect them now today,
it's not gonna cost you that much to.

Speaker 1 (01:53:03):
Do it pretty sweet.

Speaker 6 (01:53:06):
My number five is really it was more of an
adult collectible, but I enjoyed them and played with them
and starting lineup sports, really starting lineup, I.

Speaker 1 (01:53:19):
Think is kind of the gateway that to.

Speaker 5 (01:53:22):
Me loving sports and being obsessed with sports the way
that I became an am because you know, my dad
was a huge sports guy, probably wanted me to be
hugely in the sports, and I think that was kind
of like a good way to introduce me into them,
because you know, I love action figures.

Speaker 6 (01:53:37):
So here's some you know, football action figures or hockey
or basketball or baseball, and that is that really helped
get me into sports and become a huge fan. And
like there were so many, like there's countless starting line
of figures. There's probably thousands of unique starting lineup figures
out there. People were buying them at the time and
putting them away and thinking that they're gonna be worth something.

(01:53:59):
For the most part, they're worthless, unless you're talking the
ones that came out in like eighty eight, eighty nine,
the early ones. There's some that are worth a lot
because some of them were regional and couldn't be found
all around the country. So there are some there are value,
but for the most part, if you have starting lineups
in your attic that you have been collecting dust, probably
not really worth anything. But I still liked them because

(01:54:22):
it was just a cool representation of all the athletes
at the time of the nineties. You know, you weren't
gonna get another action figure of freaking Barry Bonds or
Ken Griffy Junior, Dion Sanders or John Elway.

Speaker 1 (01:54:35):
Like that's how you got them.

Speaker 5 (01:54:36):
And I think it was cool and it's still cool today.

Speaker 6 (01:54:38):
And if I see them for a dollar or two dollars,
if I'm at like some kind of show or like
a toy shop or something.

Speaker 5 (01:54:45):
Like that, I'll get them. And that's another cool thing.

Speaker 6 (01:54:47):
Just like the Star Wars you can get them for
dirt keep and still collecting today.

Speaker 1 (01:54:52):
I never got into the story on lineup stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:54:56):
I feel like most kids were not, but I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:55:00):
Why even my brother didn't have that either. I feel
like the Space Jam was kind of like bad for me. Yeah,
even though it's really just Michael Joran and the other players.
But yeah, I never got into the story in Libe.
I remember going to Toys Russ and always see there
was and like Modell's and there's be so many story
line and it was almost like overwhelming.

Speaker 5 (01:55:18):
Its like there was a store called Hills that was here.
I don't you know, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:55:23):
I don't know exactly where it was in the country.
I know it was based in Pittsburgh, so I think
it was more of like a Northeast store. But you know,
I wish that sort still existed. It was such a
good store and they had bricking millions of starting lineups
and wrestling figures and everything. You can imagine nothing like
that today. You go into like a Walmart, it's like disheveled.
The toy section was like shit, no pride these days

(01:55:46):
of toy ownership.

Speaker 1 (01:55:48):
It's very sad, all right. My my number four, see
my top five basically is I just kind of almost
want like chronological order, to be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:55:59):
Yeah, I could go in any number of directions, realistically,
because like at any point in time, if that's what
I was playing with, that was like the most important
fucking thing to me.

Speaker 1 (01:56:11):
Yeah, So I really just want to chronological order. I
thought that was be fairest. So my number four is
the Spider Man line, Spider Man will being my two
favorite superheroes of all time. I love the Spider Man cartoon,
the video games. I had an action figure though, Mike
that was like the holy grail of all my action figures.
It was the Flexible Spider Man. I was the first

(01:56:34):
one of all my friends that have this. Sorry go ahead,
I don't.

Speaker 6 (01:56:36):
Remember how many points of articulation it was, but it
was like so far ahead of the time.

Speaker 5 (01:56:40):
It was never a figure like that before.

Speaker 1 (01:56:44):
I was the first one of my friends that haven't.
And my best friend was like so jealous. He eventually
got one for Christmas and just wasn't the same as
like the original one I had for some reason whatever,
Like that first print of this action figure was like
fucking perfection. The black Suit Spider Man was awesome. Venom
We had different Venom lines. I went from the nineties.

(01:57:05):
I one to my brother had that you could like
put like stuff into it and like it was like
speed water, right, Yeah, it was just something I like,
its fucking chest. It was fucking crazy and maximum connage.
Love that whole comic book line and the arc and
TV show game and the game was just I mean,
that was like the greatest thing of all time. UD
and cartridge I love it so much, and Maxi and

(01:57:28):
card so that figure was just so cool. So those
like Spider Man some of my favorite figures. Black Cat
was very cool, so that that was like easily top
four for me.

Speaker 6 (01:57:40):
It kind of discussed me that I did not put
on my top ten. I'm it's literally my first honorable mention.
And like again, if I changed my list like a
week from now, it could easily be on one somewhere.
The way I kind of looked at it is like
I played with them, like with the X Men, with
the Batman, there's a lot of intermixing and all wars
going on, and I kind of want to just be
able to talk about like something a little bit less

(01:58:02):
to like Aladdin toys, Like nobody really talks about those,
but I play with them, you know, probably just as much.
But Spider Man can easily be on my list. Like
had like the Daily Bugle playset, which was so cool.
I remember it came like it came with some kind
of like slime that you could like dump out ont
of the people. It probably got all over the fucking place,
but it was very cool.

Speaker 1 (01:58:20):
But that line was amazing.

Speaker 6 (01:58:22):
Yeah, being out my number four teenage mutant ninja turtles,
I assume.

Speaker 1 (01:58:28):
You have oh significantly higher.

Speaker 6 (01:58:32):
Uh, Like I said, like this is this could be
one really and there was a period in my life
where it probably was number one because that's what I
played with the most. But one of the greatest toy
lines of all time by far. And I just watched, Uh,
that was a Toys That Made Us episode on Netflix.
That's fantastic. I don't know if you've heard of the

(01:58:54):
show on History channels called The Toys That Built America.
There's a really good episode and it's a combo episode
of Turtles and Power Rangers together. It talks about a
lot of the same stuff, like the Toys It Made Us,
but there's some different stuff and it's a it's a
good watch. It's only you know, an hour or whatever. Yeah, uh,
but just it's amazing, like how this became the property.

(01:59:17):
It became like it started from nothing and it became
just a sensation.

Speaker 5 (01:59:22):
And the toy line was so great.

Speaker 6 (01:59:24):
Anything you can think of from the show, from the
comic book got made into a figure, every turtle. And
then one of the most fun parts of it was
all the variations of the turtles, like they became like
Universal Monsters or they're like the sports Stars with the
one like supposed to be in a Michael Jordan jersey
and all that. Yeah, stuff like that, just the turtles

(01:59:44):
and disguise and all that random shit and that, like
that was brilliant, Like how can I get somebody to
buy a tenth Michaelangelo?

Speaker 5 (01:59:51):
Okay, I'll put them in this thing.

Speaker 6 (01:59:54):
And then the vehicles are some of the greatest vehicles
of in the history of toys.

Speaker 1 (01:59:59):
I you know what.

Speaker 5 (02:00:00):
I never even was lucky enough to have the sewer
or the technodrome.

Speaker 6 (02:00:04):
I had those, but I had some of the smaller ones,
and I had the pizza Thrower, which I still think
is one of the greatest of all time.

Speaker 5 (02:00:10):
You could literally destroy some shit with that pizza thrower.

Speaker 1 (02:00:15):
H such a good line, man, Yeah, I will talk
more about the turtles. Such an amazing line. My number
three you mentioned it X Men again, going crawloge to
the order of my life once X Men hit and
really hit, like the the animated cartoon show, which is
so good, the nineties cartoon show, because my brother had

(02:00:37):
X Men toys too. But then again, when it comes
to the quality of the nineties action figures. They were
just significantly better than what you were getting in the
eighties where they were just thinner and flimsier. And I
just remember like mixing my brother's toys to the line
that I was getting. I was like, ah, it's just
not the same, and I love my One of my

(02:00:57):
favorite action figures of all time is the face suit
Wolverine when they were going for the Phoenix are It
was so fucking cool. There was a Gambit action figure
that there was a line that they came out with
where these were just such higher quality and sturdier figures,
where like, yeah, that was like later on I remember, yes,

(02:01:18):
and you could like have him hold this thing that
would light up of like his cards and siloa'si one
of like her energy.

Speaker 5 (02:01:24):
But yeah, that was the same line.

Speaker 6 (02:01:26):
I was gonna say, because I remember having that Silo too.

Speaker 1 (02:01:28):
It was the same line, and it was this siloc
figure was so cool. So my favorite action figures. Rogue
was awesome. Iceman. They had one that wasn't like this
flimsy one from the eighties or early nine, but there
was one that he had like these fucking icicles on
him all over him and he was fucking just ripped.
It was awesome. Magneto again, just one that was just awesome,

(02:01:50):
with a fucking amazing cape that he was able to wear.

Speaker 5 (02:01:54):
All versions of the figures too, I don't remember that, Like.

Speaker 1 (02:01:57):
They don't only have those. I had ones that were
more They're actually pretty cool, you mean, so they were
like more like the size like the Sentinel.

Speaker 4 (02:02:05):
It was like a twelve.

Speaker 6 (02:02:05):
Yeah, it was like a twelve intair so like you
couldn't play with it with the Sentinel because obviously that's
like way out of scale, Like I don't know how
other kids played, but like that would bother me. I wouldn't,
like have a giant gambit, it's a giant Sentinel because
it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (02:02:17):
That's why I enjoyed when my toys were of the
same type, right, That's why you could play X Men
and Spider Man and ship together.

Speaker 5 (02:02:24):
Yes, exactly the same scale.

Speaker 1 (02:02:27):
And the Sentinel you mentioned earlier. But that Sentinel was
so fucking cool. I love it so much. I had
that also, yep, And like you said, the Blackbird, like
X Men was just x Men is still one of
my favorite properties of anything ever. I love it so much.

Speaker 6 (02:02:42):
My number three, it's a wrestling podcast we were finally
to talk about wrestling. Oh okay, it's WWF Jack's bone
crunching Action.

Speaker 1 (02:02:50):
Oh that line, yes, so interesting.

Speaker 5 (02:02:54):
I don't know you had to if you didn't know
anything about this line. You just looked at the figures.
Now you like, this kind of looks like shit.

Speaker 6 (02:03:02):
And for the time you'd had, you had to be
there for how huge this was, because this is like
the most advanced wrestling figure there ever was at that time.
There was you know, it started in America at least
started with the aw A rempcos and those are like
kind of seaman type figures.

Speaker 5 (02:03:20):
And then you had uh, the l j N and
those were.

Speaker 6 (02:03:23):
Like rubber, no articulation, the Hasbros, which were amazing, but
they were smaller, hard plastic these the bone crunching Action.
But that's like your introduction to the six inch action
figure in pro wrestling, which is like the standard today.
This is that's what it isn't what it will probably
always continue to be. Now, this was the introduction of it,
and it was so much easier to play with than

(02:03:45):
any wrestling figure before because it had like rubbery like limbs,
so do the moves, and it had a bone crunching action,
that's the name, where like you can move like the
elbow or like the knee up and down and make
a crunching noise like you're crunching the guy's bone zones,
which was also cool, but I didn't even use that
that much. I just really like I had five star matches.

(02:04:07):
Galow or Melts would have been his eyes bug out
of his fucking head seen the matches I was putting
on with these Jacks bone crunching figures. And it was
also huge because Hasbro and WWF license ends in ninety
four and it's not till ninety six that these come out,
so people are like starving for these types of action figures.
Ninety five you just have the Bendoms figures, like every

(02:04:29):
property at the time had a bend them, which was
just a little rubbery thing and you bend the arms
and legs. Hard to play with, though these were legit
action figures, and you know they lasted film like ninety
six to around two thousand, and that's around basically when
I was done playing with action.

Speaker 5 (02:04:45):
Figures, So that was a good run.

Speaker 6 (02:04:47):
It had pretty much all the big guys you could
want from that time period. In wrestling figure form like
into the end throughout the Attitude era, mix them all
together and had some of the most epic, frigging pay
per views you.

Speaker 1 (02:04:59):
Could put on. That's awesome. Yeah, some of my.

Speaker 5 (02:05:03):
Best memories were playing with those.

Speaker 1 (02:05:04):
I'll talk about wrestling figures a little later. I never
had any of those. Yeah, I mean you're saying, like
it's like how big of a deal is Like that's
important context because like I remember, yeah, because I remember
my friends when they got into wrestling. I think it
was the Jacks line with like the Titan Tron, right.

Speaker 6 (02:05:27):
Yeah, Titan Tron what came after the Jacks bone crunch reaction,
and like I got some of them, and like the
titann was very cool because like it was amazing, like
you could put them on the thing and it played
their theme music. But the figures didn't hit the same
as the bad Okay okay, And I was older too,
so I wasn't.

Speaker 5 (02:05:47):
Assures as I would have been.

Speaker 1 (02:05:48):
You know, my number two Mike again chronological order in
my life. When this hit, it was just the coolest thing.
Since then, the Turtles and as Power Rangers.

Speaker 6 (02:06:02):
And I have the exact SAME's my numbers, number two.

Speaker 1 (02:06:05):
All right, so let's talk about it, Mite, because Power
Rangers was such an influential thing on my life.

Speaker 6 (02:06:13):
It was if you cannot explain to somebody how it
took the country by storm when.

Speaker 1 (02:06:20):
It happened, it really did. And I'll just say it
right now. Nina Turtles my number one, and you needed
Ninja Turtles first to then get the Power Rangers, especially
for me, because it solidified the love of ninjas. Really,
I mean, I just anything Ninja. I was all about it,
like Sidekicks. It was just the coolest fucking thing were

(02:06:41):
Ninjas and Power Rangers. You're a little bit older now
from from me from Power from Ninja Turtles, and you're
seeing these teenagers who they're all fucking awesome. They're like
the coolest people except for Billy. Yeah, fucking But like
the Black Ranger, the Green Ranger. These are my favorite
action figures, gold Ar lord Z. I loved one of

(02:07:03):
my favorite action figures that's so much on the show.
But my favorite villain figures was the King Sphinx.

Speaker 5 (02:07:10):
Yes I had I had like Pudgy Pig because you
could they had like these little discs kind of like
they had like these little discs you could put it
in his mouth and you like shoot him out.

Speaker 1 (02:07:21):
I never had that one. These ones, yeah, Goldar, these
ones are like all these were bigger action figures compared
to like the Spider Man X Men figures, and I
had some that were smaller then where you could like
flip their head and now it's.

Speaker 5 (02:07:38):
Those are the ones I primarily had. I did have
some of like the bigger ones too.

Speaker 2 (02:07:42):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (02:07:43):
The head flipming action was like, dude, I've never seen.

Speaker 6 (02:07:45):
Anything like that before yet very cool.

Speaker 1 (02:07:49):
I had the Megazord, the thunder Megazord, the dragon Zord, Titanus.
I don't know if you remember the tour shovel Zord.

Speaker 5 (02:07:59):
It was it's like a tourist.

Speaker 1 (02:08:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:08:02):
Yeah, I never had it, but I think I remember
from like commercials because I had like a bunch of
Powers VHS tapes obviously, and you're watching like the show
on TV, but the VHS tape it would always start
with like the commercials for the toys to get the
kids obviously fucking hyped on them to tell their parents
to get them, and they were like the most insane
toy them And w F has had the best toy

(02:08:23):
commercials of the time. Because it would just get you
a pumped as a kid, and you like had to
have them. But every freaking zord and ship that they
would show on those, I'd be like, oh my god,
oh my god, to have it.

Speaker 1 (02:08:33):
They had the White Tiger Zord, had that faking zord,
Dragons had Dragon Zord. If you had the red Dragon Zord.
I did not have red fucking an insane. It was
a massive fucking Zord. The Ninja Megazord I had that.
We had all the moons from like the very first

(02:08:54):
movie that they came out with. Yeah, like Doctor whatever
his name was, I even it was, had those so
those like they had I think it was McDonald's. I'm
pretty sure had action figures from from the movie that
was some.

Speaker 6 (02:09:09):
Of the best McDonald's like toys of all time because
they're actual legitimate figures.

Speaker 1 (02:09:14):
That movie was. I love that movie so much still
to this day. I will admit that when it got
to like the Alien Power Rangers, like that's when I
fell off. But then I started to get back into
a little bit with the Zeo series because he still
had like the original people and there was an episode

(02:09:35):
Mike with the Gold Ranger and everyone who the fuck
is this guy? And it came out that it was
Jason was the original Red Ranger, came back as the
Gold Ranger, and I want to I know what you're thinking,
Gold Rangers. No, he was all black with like a
black with like a gold trim on his face. And
I remember Tommy when he was the Green Ranger had

(02:09:56):
like this like vest over him, like the shield over
chess Gold Ranger at something like that, which is all
black with this gold trap. Was like as a awesome figure.
And it was the size of the Flipping Head ones.
So I gotta get that because it was just so
fucking cool Power Rangers. There was nothing like it because
there were so many. Like you said you you had
ones that were more of like the flipping Heads, those

(02:10:16):
are smaller. I had those and the ones that were bigger.
One story about let you go, Mike mhm. Growing up
Power Range school fucking thing. And it was hard to
get these.

Speaker 5 (02:10:30):
I mean they were selling out like before they even
hit the shells pretty.

Speaker 1 (02:10:34):
Much, what do you even have shells? So one day
we're at fucking toys r using my dad and it's
like a possible get a fucking power Ranger. My dad
just goes to the guy goes, hey, you know when
do you get like a shipment in the neck? And
I goes, well, you know, on Sunday is supposed to
get something. He goes, here's look like brides with my
guess they meet you. What Toys r Us opens, you
gonna meet you in the parking lot.

Speaker 5 (02:10:56):
People used to do fucking shady deals like that.

Speaker 1 (02:10:59):
Yeah, I mean my dad was doing hell yeah, and
before Toys r Us even though it was like a
fucking drug deal. Yeah, guy, it's like to have a
bag of fucking power in toy It wasn't like a lot.
I think it was like two right, but it was
to get make sure he was able to get me
a fucking power into toy uh. And we fucking got it.

(02:11:22):
And my dad still to this day, Mike has I
feel exactly which Ranger, but there is a Ranger boxed
and the Megazor, the original Megazurt from the very first
line in a box and it's like he's.

Speaker 5 (02:11:36):
Like, gotta be a good investment.

Speaker 1 (02:11:37):
I don't know, I don't know what it is, if
it'll ever be an investment. But he goes, this is
for whenever the time comes that hopefully this is an investment,
so we still have that. Uh my brother and my
dad still have Star Wars action figures from the original
line that are still in the box. So that was
a story I Alison, never get one more story, you know,

(02:12:00):
Powering school fucking thing so hard to get. And there
was a day where it was pouring torrential rain. Mike
and my mom is like sick as adult calls up
to every fucking story. Anyone have fucking toys and they
were like, finally one like local stores, like we're gonna
have toys at this time. Everyone wants to be online.
You have to get like the fucking number like it

(02:12:21):
was Mayhem and my mom.

Speaker 5 (02:12:22):
It was like Game Council on launch day. That's how powering.

Speaker 1 (02:12:26):
Yeah on crack, my mom sick as hell, goes out
in the fucking rain, comes back and what is she
coming back with? Mike A putty. Now it's it's like, oh,
of all things, like that's what you got to go
out for. But I still remember that story to this day.
It's all the time, and it was like, but it
meant so much. And first of all, I didn't just

(02:12:49):
like you need absolutely needed the putty exactly, and I
didn't have one, so I was like, this is amazing, mom,
thank you so much. But it was like the irony
of like you're sick as hell going on the corn
rain and what you come back with is a putty.
But it was like it like you said you had
to have one, and I needed that one, and it
didn't matter what she came back with. I was like,

(02:13:09):
that is fucking parenthood, like one on one, do whatever
you can for your kid, and that's what my parents
did for me.

Speaker 6 (02:13:15):
I have a similar story to the one you told
about your dad, without the potential illegalities involved.

Speaker 5 (02:13:21):
But like I just remember.

Speaker 6 (02:13:25):
Somehow, I don't know how, like my dad got a
lead on that there was going to be like a
bunch of figures or something like that, and yeah, Power Rangers.

Speaker 5 (02:13:32):
I don't remember.

Speaker 6 (02:13:33):
It might have been Hills that I mentioned before, because
I know Hills had lay away and layoa is probably
a foreign concept in all these days, but layaway was
you basically would essentially kind of you would just kind
of like get what you wanted, you bring it back
to the layaway counter. They'd put it away for you,
so it's on hold and you make payments and once

(02:13:53):
your payment is finished.

Speaker 5 (02:13:54):
Then you get the product that you put on layaway.

Speaker 6 (02:13:58):
And my dad just put a shit ton of Power
Figures to the end one one day, once he was
able to pay it off, comes home gigantic fucking cardboard box.

Speaker 5 (02:14:10):
Or up Power figures.

Speaker 6 (02:14:13):
It was like that one of the best memories of
Like toys that I got as a kid. But you know,
I agree with pretty much everything you said about this line.
It's one of the most like innovative lines because you know,
you had like and it mimics the show for people
that don't know the show. You had the they would
fight like the monsters and they would be like a

(02:14:34):
normal scale fighting each other, and then Rita would make
the monster grow, so then they go into their Zord
and they'd fight the giant monster. So you could get
little monsters, big monsters, you get the Zords, you get
the little poweringingers, the big Power Rangers. Like everything you
could imagine, you could get it, and you could like
basically just act out what the show was. And the
show was the biggest fucking phenomenon for kids at the time.

Speaker 5 (02:14:55):
Uh So it was so cool to be able to
do that.

Speaker 6 (02:14:58):
Uh the movie, I loved a lot of people shut
on it, I feel like, but at the time the
movie me too.

Speaker 5 (02:15:03):
It was a huge deal that there was a Power
Rangers movie. Going through the movie to see it.

Speaker 1 (02:15:07):
One of the closet intros to any movie the fucking
skydiving and Tommy has a like snowboard Like I was like,
what the fuck?

Speaker 5 (02:15:17):
And the video game based on the movie was awesome.
At the time of that game just Power.

Speaker 6 (02:15:22):
Rangers like basically took over my life from a period
of time in the nineties and it was just it
was amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:15:28):
Dude, did you have you mentioned play sets. There was
a placet of.

Speaker 5 (02:15:34):
Whatever you want to call it. Yea had that, and
it had like that was the only way you could
get Alpha five figure.

Speaker 6 (02:15:42):
That's the only way you could get it. So you
had to get this, so you y Alfa five like
it's actually accursing. They never had a riad a figure
and she was such a like a key person in
the show. Uh never had to read a figure. But
you get the Alpha five by getting this, and it
had a voice changer on top and you talk into
it and so you see zord on you know how
he had.

Speaker 1 (02:16:03):
I never used them.

Speaker 5 (02:16:04):
You never used the voice ginger, No, God, it was
like the greatest thing ever. So you know how like
zord On he was. He had that weird fucking voice.
Uh you speaking of the wish ginger, It makes you
sound like zord On. So I was like just doing
all that. I was probably like saying like customership and
to not get caught, and it was just amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:16:22):
That's very fun.

Speaker 5 (02:16:23):
I never did that.

Speaker 1 (02:16:24):
Yep, So good, all right, my number one, you mentioned
that Teenage Ninja Turtles my first love, and I just
had to go again chronological because it was like the
thing that started all and Ninja Turtles was just the
coolest fucking thing. The movies were unbelievable. I love the
first and second one and the third one of that,
but first and second one loves so much. I mean

(02:16:46):
watched it so many times and always had to have
it on playing with my toys. My parents did so
well by me, Mike, because they have like I have,
like everything. I feel like I never had the blimp.
My friend had a blimp. Everyone was very jealou but
this thing is fucking.

Speaker 6 (02:17:01):
Massive, like they so they had basically new ones that
are just need to look exactly like those figures exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:17:07):
Like they do.

Speaker 5 (02:17:09):
Have a new blimp, which would be kind of cool
to get.

Speaker 1 (02:17:11):
Yeah, I mean, I think it was so fucking big.
I don't even know where we've kept it because it
was so massive.

Speaker 5 (02:17:17):
But people that display them sometimes hang them from their ceiling.

Speaker 1 (02:17:20):
That is very pretty cool. That's very cool. But I
love specifically like the Secret of the Ooz movie toys.

Speaker 5 (02:17:27):
The movie, they're so much more like realistic exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:17:31):
They moved better, they felt better. The super Sweader was
so cool. The foot Clan was infinitely better than the
TV show. One Tuckland Raizar that I also had an
April Ninja newscaster, which she was basically like naked. My
love the sac figure, and I think that is what

(02:17:51):
put me on a course of life. I had this
awesome rock steady that was a boxer and a Bebop
that was a ninja. So those are cool, very means.
I had the Sewer place that you mentioned, the Technodrome,
the Mutant Module, the party wagon Nina turtles like.

Speaker 5 (02:18:06):
Your party wagon. The newsman was cool too. I don't
know if you had that.

Speaker 1 (02:18:10):
I don't know if I had. I did have a newsman,
it wasn't like.

Speaker 9 (02:18:13):
Was it yellow?

Speaker 6 (02:18:15):
I think so, and then there was like a special
april that it came with.

Speaker 1 (02:18:19):
Because I remember having we had so many things, but
like Nina Turtles was just unbelievable. The video games were
so great, and so I mean, the comics were cool.
My dad like collects the comics and it's all because
like it was just that was the phenomenon and that
it was the first love of anything and that was
the one.

Speaker 5 (02:18:40):
Good choice.

Speaker 6 (02:18:41):
Can't argue with it, but my number one. We're gonna
end it on a wrestling note. Maybe WF has bro.
In my opinion, it's the most iconic wrestling figure line
of all time, with the most iconic action figure lines
of all time. It's from a started in ninety random
ninety four doesn't seem that long really, but they got
so many figures out during that time of you know,

(02:19:04):
the big stars and then even like random people that
you're like, how the hell did this person gonna figure?

Speaker 5 (02:19:09):
Like Skinner? How did Skinner get a figure?

Speaker 6 (02:19:11):
It was like hardly even around well you gotta figure, uh,
Giant Gonzalez, who was probably around for a year, you
gotta figure.

Speaker 5 (02:19:17):
Like they put out figures of absolutely everybody.

Speaker 6 (02:19:21):
And that was the fun of it, Like you had
so many options for guys you And that's like when
I learned, like, oh, I was like doing storylines and
playing with these ACTI figures, like making pay per view
cards and like if somebody like wasn't really a star
in w be like if I wanted Skinner to be
my fucking world champions, Skinner could be my world champion
and you just book it that way, and I would

(02:19:42):
do like I would.

Speaker 1 (02:19:43):
Make up a card.

Speaker 6 (02:19:44):
All okay, we're doing this is the Royal Rumbo pay
per view and I put thirty figures behind my back
and just like all right, I'm gonna pick this one
and okay, uh freaking brow Hart's number one entrant, dude.
Like such good memories of those, and I think what
puts it over the top is like still today, I
have all the WWF Hasbro figures probably displayed, and cool,

(02:20:04):
there's new versions of these figures being made today, Like
there's a bunch of different independent companies like filling in
the gaps of guys who didn't get made, and they're
making them and so I'm getting those and I'm like
adding them to my collection and that makes it even
more special too, And it's just like I think it's
of wrestling fans who also had action figures. I think

(02:20:26):
it's viewed as like the the best ever and the
most nostalgic ever, and that those are the feelings I
have towards them, and like the ring, the iconic blue ring,
like you can't think of it without you know, you
can't think of wrestlingers about thinking of that ring.

Speaker 5 (02:20:41):
It's just the best, the best.

Speaker 1 (02:20:43):
That was very cool. You were sending pictures that people
will hear about in a few months.

Speaker 5 (02:20:49):
Oh yeah, the future.

Speaker 1 (02:20:52):
And very d's very awesome selection. Having all on display
is one of the things that I've always says my parents,
like don't throw out my toys, Like one day I'll
have a mansion and I'll display all my toys.

Speaker 5 (02:21:03):
For a long time, I've wanted to do a tour
and I still have not had it, like organized way
I want to have it. I still have to do it.

Speaker 1 (02:21:10):
Yeah, I do have some mentions. Our YouTube channel gets
exclusive rights to the tour.

Speaker 5 (02:21:17):
We'll see. I might make my own because I don't
like you.

Speaker 1 (02:21:20):
Hmm, that's against the contract. Go away.

Speaker 6 (02:21:23):
There's a five minutes five minutes.

Speaker 5 (02:21:28):
Mentions hereos I do? I had a million of them.

Speaker 6 (02:21:32):
I had like the full set of Simpsons POGs. Actually,
oh that's cool. I love those so POGs.

Speaker 1 (02:21:38):
On here we mentioned Super Soakers and friends. Do you
remember Bucky O'Hare action figures?

Speaker 5 (02:21:43):
Yes, I had, I think all of them.

Speaker 6 (02:21:46):
They were very random, like I don't think I ever
saw the show Necessary. There was a comic book and
a show, and I played the.

Speaker 5 (02:21:55):
Arcade game, which was actually really good.

Speaker 1 (02:21:58):
I couldn't tell you anything about this for the I
just know I had a whole bunch of toys.

Speaker 5 (02:22:02):
There was like a duck, a frog. Yeah, when they
were all like human like yeah, he man figures were cool.

Speaker 1 (02:22:09):
Those were mostly my brothers, like Skeletor, very cool. My
brother had like this, the Skeletor is like castle that
was awesome. But that was yeah, man, but it was
mostly his. The Hazbro action figures that you mentioned is
your number one. I only had like Hulk Hogan and
it looked like he was like body pressing his like

(02:22:29):
the motion. Yeah. Yeah, it's which I believe. I'm assuming
was the second variant because it had a I recall
him having a green suit.

Speaker 5 (02:22:41):
Green suit.

Speaker 6 (02:22:41):
Yeah, so first series DBS was in a black suit,
so that would have been like the second version.

Speaker 1 (02:22:45):
I'm pretty sure it was green and I I loved
so I was always having him beat the whole voting,
Uh mighty, Max, I.

Speaker 5 (02:22:54):
Have money Max on my list. I loved it was
so like creative.

Speaker 6 (02:23:00):
Well, there would be like little like toys and figures
inside and you close the lid and sometimes like let's say.

Speaker 5 (02:23:07):
Right right, so it pop out like the top of it.

Speaker 6 (02:23:10):
So let's say like it was the thing was supposed
to be like some kind of animal with an eyeball,
like so the eyeball be popping out and then you
open it, like the eyeball is.

Speaker 5 (02:23:17):
Actually like a little figure.

Speaker 1 (02:23:19):
Yeah, it was awesome.

Speaker 5 (02:23:19):
It was incredible.

Speaker 1 (02:23:21):
My masks so.

Speaker 5 (02:23:23):
And the giant like mountain the next mountain too that.

Speaker 1 (02:23:29):
My final one here could easily be a top ten,
but it was I'm older at this point in time,
so it was like playing as much. So they're more
like collectibles to me, which was the Pokemon figures. Right.

Speaker 5 (02:23:42):
They had like the poke ball.

Speaker 1 (02:23:44):
That you could put them in.

Speaker 4 (02:23:48):
One.

Speaker 1 (02:23:48):
Yes, I had a whole bunch of those, so it
was like playing why are you here? Go way down?

Speaker 5 (02:23:57):
You suck yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:23:59):
Yeah, so Pokemon was on here.

Speaker 4 (02:24:00):
I gotta tell you, I gotta I gotta listen to
a few minutes of this.

Speaker 1 (02:24:03):
I gotta tell you, like a motherfucker.

Speaker 4 (02:24:07):
I have to tell you this ship sucked and I
can't believe you had to redo it.

Speaker 5 (02:24:14):
Shut up, We're not done yet.

Speaker 6 (02:24:15):
Uh BG choices for uh for your honorable mentions. Uh
we mentioned a bunch of mine already. Else I'll just
add a few more gargoyles. I love that show as
a kid. It was kind of like Batman in the
animated series, esque with kind of a gritty show.

Speaker 5 (02:24:30):
But the figures are very cool swamp thing. I feel
like nobody talks about that, that's true.

Speaker 1 (02:24:39):
I think.

Speaker 5 (02:24:42):
