Show, two rows from ringside,and we are once again back here with

(01:47):
if you have enjoyed the first portionof this and last week's show,
and you're excited to see the culminationof our fantastic favorite series here with Undertaker
and Mankind Buried Alive sam Mitchel's favoritematch, you have come to the right
place and we are about to kickthis puppy off again. Ricky. We
we uh we took the rocket,the retro rocket down here last week and
we have we have, we havestayed here for a full week. Just

(02:08):
like the Undertaker, you still livein the arenas. We have lived in
this arena all week long until itwas time to come back here and do
the second half of this show.And are you excited, my friend?
I am thrilled. Well, whydon't we give it a quick time que
as to where we are in theshow here and say here we are at
Sorry the network runs a little bitslow, a little bit of well we

(02:34):
just if you were met, Okay, we are at fifty nine minutes and
sixteen seconds. You see uh Sid'sface. Sid is gonna do one with
the Do Do battle one on onewith the Mastadoni Vaders, guys. I
mean Sid was a legitimate star forquite some time, from the late eighties

(02:54):
all the way until like two thousand. There's something raw. There would be
something desperately wrong with him as aperson. If a guy who looked like
that did not have a big careerin professional wrestling, please tell him he's
in the Hall of Fame WWF Hallof Fame. He is not yet.
Um. I think he probably willbe in there at some point. They
brought him back onto like you know, retroam my opinion, I mean,

(03:19):
he was an awful wrestler. Hewas awful as a technical wrestler. As
a warrior, yes, he was. In fact, if you've ever seen
a Sid versus Ultimate Warrior match,they happened in the early nineties and they
were a goddamn atrocity. But heheadlined two WrestleManias I believe well he had.
Yes, he headlined WrestleMania eight againstHogan and then he headlined WrestleMania and
he headline with Undertaker at least onestarcane right, well, let's see now,

(03:43):
probably in the later years, yes, although I don't even count them
and I lose track of anything,Okay. I he headlined many of WCW
pay per views, Yes, andhe would have headlined starcade in ninety three
except he stabbed darn Anderson in ahotel room brawl with a pair of scissors,
and then he was replaced with RickFlair in that match. But in

(04:04):
this particular show that we're watching today, he's getting ready to take on the
old Brown or the old the babybull himself, Big Van Vader, Leon
White. And I have a sneakingsuspicion, Ricky, that this will not
be a technical classic of a mattNo, but I'm looking forward to him
because you want to talk about twobruisers, two horses in there, Well,

(04:26):
without further ado, this might looklike two aggressive rhinos fucking in the
zoo. Let's find out, allright, Well, let's hit the three
two one. We are going threetwo one and back to a video package.
Here. Look at the arms onVader back in the legitimate tree trunks.
Oh my lord, I remember youwere asking me who had the best

(04:47):
power bomb in wrestling. Sids gotthe higher elevation on his but the impacted
Vader just dropped guys with I thoughtgave the edge to Vader. There's Jim,
the aforementioned Jim Cornette. We justtalking about real life heal there,
Jim Cornett, but fantastic personality.Uh once in a lifetime talent in the
wrestling business. And uh boy,this video package is playing up the power

(05:12):
moves of these two guys. Rickypower bomb after power bomb, choke slam
after Hey, look doesn't look likehe was in the steam room with Jake
and Damien from that. Oh see, Aldamant Toya never should have took taken
on Vader in any kind of amatch. I was funny when Jim Cornett

(05:35):
got really Vince McMahon would make funof him and and he said, he
said, I would like to kickhim right in the double wide dry air.
So there's that match. You justsolve Vader and uh and Seawan michaels
I was out, Oh heroes.Shawn Michael was right in the midst of

(06:00):
his like Supreme Dick period here,just a real flaming asshole as a human
being talking about taking the power bombsof both men here. That's a great
way to build up a match,though, who has the better move?
You both use the power bomb?Who has the better power bomb? And
you see here the winner is goingto get a championship match between you know,

(06:21):
Psychosid and Vader here, and theworld champion at this time was Sean
Michaels and then then Vader Wressell ShawnMichaels at Summerside. No in fact,
well, yes, no, you'reright, Vader rusted him at summer Side.
Yes, but that already happened.Okay, so this match, see,

(06:43):
Michaels did not like working with Vader, and he actually got their feud
mixed and Sid essentially took the runthat Vader would have. So Sid at
Survivor Series only a month after this, wins the WWF Championship from Shawn Michaels.
And by the way, we talkedabout this one of the greatest music
intro. Yeah, tell us alittle bit about what this music signifies to
you, ricky Um, I nowplay this in the toilet while I'm taking

(07:06):
a dump so my wife doesn't haveto hear the guttural sounds spewing out my
asshole. Ricky has been having suchintestinal issues lately that he has created literal
beasts and goblins of escape from yourrectal cavity. From what I understand,
and when you, when you feelan especially bad one coming on, you
will play Psycho Sid's theme music inthe bathroom, so Megan will hear the

(07:30):
harm music entrance of a madman insteadof your gaseous emissions and your your your
stamps of eternal stench. You dorealize that your behavior is completely abnormal here
and a little scary. I thinkit is. And my shit probably smells
worse than Vaders um his ring geargear from the bag. I'm just I'm

(07:54):
just gonna keep this wet, sweaty, fat guy gear in a gym bag
for the next four days and seewhat smells. So what I get in
the ring next? Yeah, whata great what a great entrance theme song
he has? Today? I workedwith a guy that looks like Vader but

(08:16):
not as big, but literally lookslike Lee on one. Maybe he's related
to him. You were a Divader, Why would you say that? Yeah,
Vader looks amazing here. Still hecame off. His best run was
in WCW in the mid nineties.And unfortunately he was a bit of a

(08:37):
flop in the WWF. And Iwould say Shawn Michaels is almost one hundred
percent to blame for that. Yeah, because you're that story. You had
an opportunity for Vader to be abig star in the WWF, and it
was he was sabotaged. Now I'veyou know, Vader in his own right
could be a real high maintenance painin the ass and a prima donna and
a bullie. So I'm not sayingfeel too bad for the guy, but

(08:58):
for a talent that that could dowhat he could do in the ring,
and who had such an era andhad Jim Cornette as a mouthpiece. Uh
was brought in in an angle wherehe beat up Grilla mon Soon tell me
there's not any way that guy shouldn'thave gone to the car and stayed there
for a while. Vader is oneof my favorite wrestlers ever. But because
he hit Shawn Michaels a few alittle too hard on corner shots and because

(09:20):
he missed a he screwed up aspot. Saw Michael's actually legit. That's
what I was just discussing. Whenwhen when Shawn Michaels came off with what
was supposed to be the elbow.Vader doesn't move. Shawn Michaels just lands
on his feet like a goof andthen gets so pissed that he stomps Vader
in the head and he goes move. Uh. He was like, look

(09:41):
at look. You can tell howpilled up Shawn Michaels this year as he
comes out to ringside to he looksall due commentary, but you can see
it in his eyes that he's pilledup. But Vince mcmanagers loves him so
well, vincement man, you knowit's it has been said by many,
including h Jim Ross and and heshakes the hand of sit here. You
wouldn't be doing that a month anda half from now, Shawn Michaels when

(10:03):
he hit joseanless ethereal with a camera, made him have a heart attack and
took your world title only a monthand a half later. But here he's
shaking his hand. Jim Cornette gettingin the face of Shawn Michael's poking in
his chest. I love how Jimactually hate Yeah, they hate the well,
that feeling was mutual. Now theysee him cutting this, doing this
thing in the ring and makes melaugh because it's partially real. Problemly,

(10:26):
Sean Michaels stole the handkerchief out ofthe cornette's pocket blew his nose with it.
Cornette disgustingly tried to pick it upoff the ground and got kicked in
the key Star Ricky by Shawn Michaels. And now these two bulls are going
at it. I will say,of all the times in Sid's career,
Ricky, he looked best in thistime period. Yeah, as far as

(10:48):
being a worker, he looked thebest he ever looked at this time.
But even this was not He wasalways awkward and his ship looked a bit
weak. He looked like a lumber. But speaking of his look at his
promoting, I watched the Wrestle Warninety one pay per view and Sid was
in the War Games match. Yeah, when he when he power slams and

(11:11):
drops Brian Pillman on his head.I'm sure you've seen that Pilman's head like
smack the top of the cage whenhe gets lifted up for the power bomb.
No, it's like he couldn't reallyget like the full should direct to
direct, I can't pronounce it.I'm sorry, like he could. He
couldn't get Pilman up for the fullrotation, for the full rotation, and
I dropped him in a weird wayand he fell right. It was like

(11:31):
really painful. Well yeah, Iforgot the details of that bump. But
Pilman was legitimately injured, was henot? Yeah? He According to um
Jim Ross on this pod, hemissed a lot of time and apparently,
like legit generally knocked him out.I always love Vaders like punches, like

(11:52):
the series of punches he lit guysup in the corner, so he just
avalanche Sid in the corner, sitsdown. A minute ago, Vader was
just standing with his crotch right againstSid's forehead. That was a little odd,
Ricky. I liked Vader's first outfitin WCW. Remember like the steaming
like helmet. Oh yeah, yeah, that was I think Japan. Yeah,
I thought he should have kept that. I do too. I thought

(12:13):
it added a lot of mystique becausenow like he's in like these tights and
this mask, but the mask doesn'treally belong with the tights. In my
opinion, it's like, well,what is it? Why are you wearing
that mask? You know what?I mean, I've never understood Vader's mask
because it shows all of his facialfeatures except his nose. Everything else is
there. And oh, Jim Cornettewith the tennis racket in the back of

(12:33):
Sid, right between the shoulder blades. Yeah, what would do even make
a Vader's mask? It's not evena mask. It looks like a jock
strap on his face. Do youthink his mask is a good look or
a bad look? I mean itfits him because I just like, every
time I think of Vader, Ithink of the mask. But yeah,

(12:54):
I don't know. I think it'skind of dude's fucking scary as is.
I don't know if you really neededthat. You're right, you can see
his face. I know what helooks like. It just doesn't seem to
be much of a point. Uh. They did an interview one time.
It was one of those fake likepro wrestling illustrated interviews, and then it
was with with Vader and they askedhim, why do you wear the mask

(13:15):
even though it doesn't cover your facialfeatures? And Vader's response was, I
like it really? Now Sid theclubbing Forum, Sid just broke out a
sunset flip Ricky, Oh, andnow Vader drops the big booty right in
the chess cavity of Sid, whopulled out a rare sunset from there.

(13:35):
The athletic offense, Vader used tolegit like beat the ship out of enhancements.
Oh he did, he did,But a lot of these guys did
that. Yokozuna, we saw hima few weeks ago squashing guys full weight
with the bonds I dropped. No, let's not forget what Sid and Dan
Spivey did against Oh yeah, whowas it? Who's the guy's name?

(13:58):
But the absolute mauling I wish wecould remember that guy's that was hilarious.
Vader was just walking the dog withSid there, grabbing him by one arm
and clubbing him with clotheslines until Sidwent down. Now Vader controlling things with
a headlock. And though it's awesomewith pro wrestling, though, like if
someone really annoys you that you canactually beat the shit out of them if

(14:20):
you feel for it, if that'swhat you want to do, especially if
they're a smaller creature like Jim Cornett, you could just you could just take
a swipe at him, whatever youwant. Sid took Vader back in the
back supplex there the pilled up drugaddict. Shawn Michaels is doing commentary here.
He looks awful. He does it, looks quite confused. Jerry the

(14:43):
King lawlers giving him the business.There's those punches in the corner we're talking
about Ricky. He's Pepper and Sidbut not as bad as he peppers those
jobbers. Oh yeah, that's forsure. You want to get Sid pissed
off. Sid reverses the Irish whip. Vader slam in the corner. Sid
comes in with a boot to thechest that actually look pretty sick. You
know, SidD, take a softballbat to your knees. That's when Sid
was really in his element on thesoftball field. Well, the second boot

(15:05):
didn't look as impressive. Like Isaid, Sid just had an awkwardness to
him. But Sid, now I'mgoing to a top rope man ninety six.
Sid one had his working boots on. He was trying at least Sid
to the high cross body. Vadercaught him in mid her. Can you
imagine catching Sid vicious in mid airand slams him down with a flat slam
to the ground. But you areone strong man, yell to catch Sid

(15:28):
mid air? Like if you cando that with Sid Vicious. You might
actually, like remember in the movieTwister, when those cows flew through the
air, Yeah, I want Vadercould probably catch one of those damn cows.
What's that thing you always what's thatline you always said from Twister?
Oh might you always quoted? Tryingto remember it, trying to remember it

(15:50):
as we're doing. There a fewof them, I know, there was
one one that stole son of abitch. There was unrealized he's not in
it for the money, He's notin it for the science, He's in
it for the money. I thinkthat might. Yeah, Vader Jonas the

(16:15):
Vader bomb splashed there on Sid,but he had the pin and he picked
him up. So that one Rickywas to save some credibility for Vader because
Vader loses his match because Sid doesgo to the Survivor series. But he
had the pin there twice on Sidand he led him up. Jim Cornett
having a massive coronarya at ringside,he can't believe Vader has been so stupid

(16:37):
and giving up the match like this, and now Vader going back allegedly you're
supposed to think Vader did not pinhim, so he could inflict more punishment.
But now Sid got the knees upand Vader's gonna go down here,
big clothesline knocks him down. Bigclothesline from Sid knocks Vader right to his
ass. Vader's back up. Sidbody slams Vader, got him up for

(17:00):
the full rotation. I took somestrength to Ricky. Yeah, I'd say.
Now Sid's got the clear advantage afterVader bungled the match by picking him
up on those pin attempts. Sosend the baby face cycles. Sid's the
baby face here. Yeah, hewould turn Heelt Survivor series with the camera,
but he's still sort of maintained himselfas a helish baby face for the

(17:22):
whole run. Jim Cornette trying tomake his way in. Oh, Cornet
gotten cronched with the middle rope bySid. Jim Cornett kicking his legs and
pain rocking back and forth on themat. Now Sid is he's trying to
power bomb Vader. Can you gethim up? Vader? Oh? Now
Vader turns the tables. You're gonnaYou're gonna hit my manager in the balls.

(17:45):
I'm gonna I'm gonna hit you inthe balls. Sid. So Now
Vader. You could tell how blownup Vader is here. Vader really out
of breath. He was too heavyfor his own good here, but was
exceptionally heavy in this show. Andyou could tell he's winded. You could
just tell it on his face pickingup Sid for the power bomb. Now,

(18:06):
after that ball shot, Sid hadit all well in hand. Looked
like he was gonna get the powerbomb on Vader. Now Vader can't lift
sit up. Sid has got hislegs wide apart. He's got a low
center of gravity here. He's notable to pick up easy to pick up.
Rather, so Vader just decides topound him a few more times.
Irish whip Sid Duck's a clothesline chokeslam. Vader did not get much air

(18:29):
on that, but I think it'sgonna do it. Sid wins it with
the choke slam. That was alittle bit of a little weak sauce on
the choke slam. I would sayVader did not did not give it his
all to get up off the ground, but I kind of like it.
I liked that there was a youknow that that really puts Sid over strong
because Vader was really being pushed atthis time, and even though the finish

(18:51):
fell a little bit flat as faras the height, So Sean Michael saying,
now I got to bring Sid downeven though his vote for him.
He's talking about that Survivor Series matchthat he's about to have now, Shawn
Michaels is going to go in thering as Syd celebrates. But yeah,
it was a relatively clean win,with Vader saving some face by lifting him

(19:14):
up and not taking advantage of thepin attempt. Shawn Michael says, Okay,
this guy is now my competitor.Sid turns around and smiles. And
if you remember these two would alreadyfeuded in ninety five when Syd turned on
Michael's after being his bodyguard. Youremember that right after Championship. Then they
wrestled at the next pay per view, which was Survivor Series in November.

(19:36):
Guy, And now they're having it. They're having a sort of an aggressive
chat in the mid ring, butI don't think they're going to see a
physical confrontation here. They're just havinga bit of a conversation and now a
handshake. Sid doesn't quite know ifhe wants to do it, but Sid
shook his hand and then maniacally laughedthat's a little straight wed. Well,

(19:57):
if I shook your hand and yoursponsored maniacal laughter, I might not shake
your hand again anyway. A sliceat sid pins Vader clean here. Impressive
win. He's going to get theworld title shot at the next pay per
view. So good good booking hereto get the right guy over in the
right way. But what a whata what an asshole? Vader must have

(20:18):
felt like here, like he hadjust had that SummerSlam pay per view,
Sean Michaels had his push eighty sixand then he never recovered from that.
He never got back to the topof the car. Vader didn't. I
was scary. I think you justwant to talk about a man I would
not well, I mean, lookat that promo we watched just a from

(20:41):
WrestleMania eight where he was you know, he was a legitimate psycho. That
match that you just saw the clipof their Shawn Michaels and Mankind from minis
what a fantastic match that was.And here's that goof Doc Hendrix, Michael
Hayes, Michael PS Hayes and hisww his first WWF character Doc and k

(21:06):
not even what a stupid name.Vince McMann was going for so much cheesy
bullshit, and we're still coming outof that, like you still have some
residence told him by his name.I don't know everybody knew who Michael Hayes
was. I guess he just wantedto. Vincent man thinks he can create
his own characters and the rest ofthe world will forget that these guys wherever
anyone else, Yeah, we'll justforget that. He was a part of

(21:27):
a really good tag team for howmany years? But I mean, Michael
Hayes could draw you some real money, draw some real heat, and here
they have him as a goofy pitchmanu which he really wasn't even that good
in that role as Doc Henris,who was much better as Michael ps Hayes.
Uh. Two pictures of the TwinTowers there advertising the Survivor series show
we were talking about Ricky. Wherethat man right there as Sid Vicious will

(21:48):
fight Michael's for the title. JimJim Ross now taking over the question the

(22:18):
Sid screws up promo as usual.Nobody screwed up more promos than Sid,
although when he was on his promoscould be very scary. But I love
that Jim Ross is just this disgruntledguy who's cutting into interviews, hijacking moments
of the show. Doc Hendricks giveit some more goofy looks. So yeah,
the remnants of the goofy ninety fiveperiod. You still had a few
elements here, but it was gettingedgier. Yeah, like Jim Ross's character

(22:41):
here was edgier. But Michael's Vadersid Top feud was less goofy and cartoonist
than the feuds that had come before. And now you could tell Jerry Lawler,
who was adversarial with Ross originally,now he's sort of like putting him
over as a heel as Jim Vinceis complaining about Jr. Interrupting things.

(23:03):
And that will be the end ofthe first part of the second part.
Please join us after the next segment, of course, for the finale,
the second part of the second part, and you will love it, believe
it or not. The mad madworld of wrestling mad libs. Here we

(23:27):
are once again your creation, sir, your Frankenstein. Well, here we
go again, swinging for the fences. Well, swinging for the fences is
right, so we like to dowe do the generic mad libs here because

(23:49):
it is a free service, sowe like to go to mad takes and
Ricky, Now you are the masterof the age the nouns. You always
have a You're always ready with afantastic nown about overweight wrestlers, wrestlers slumming
for change at gas stations, releasingnapkins. So I'm counting on you to

(24:17):
make this as good as it canpossibly be. So I'm gonna give you
the choice. Okay, when wego mad here, we can either do
Superhero Almanac, Batman, Indiana Jonesand the Last Crusade, or Pirates of
the Caribbean the Curse of the BlackPearl m So we've got just to repeat,

(24:41):
we got Batman, we got IndianaJones, or we got Pirates,
which which sound. I think mostpirates should probably fit bad for some reason,
Pirates and professional wrestling. It's eethink there's some type of correlation there.
All right, Well, I hopeyou're right, but I do have
to warn you there are only one, two, three, four, or
five, six, seven, eightnine items here for this puzzle and only

(25:04):
two nouns, well, three nouns, So you're gonna we're gonna have to
We're gonna have to get the mostbang for the buck here with what we
choose. So unfortunately our first oneis a person in the room. I
think we've set this rule before,Ricky, that we don't. Maybe we
should skip pirates. You want tojust skip it all together? Yeah,
it sounds like what's gonna be.You know, it's hard enough as it

(25:25):
is. Let's let's try to setourselves up for success here, all right.
Then we're doing Indiana Jones because that'sgot a fuck ton of good nouns
here. So Ricky, give mea famous person right off the top of
your head. Elvis Presley, Ohgood choice? Are you lonesome tuna?

(25:49):
Should I keep singing? Or doyou want to move on here? Please
keep singing? All right? Anoccupation plural. I'm gonna say, I'm
gonna connect it to I'm gonna connectit to Elvis and say roadies or maybe
we're talking about the road doog JesseJames, Ricky, I need a noun

(26:12):
from you, sir. We're gonnago with Jerry Sags's empty six pack.
Okay, Jerry SAgs empty six pack. Now I have to do it noun

(26:40):
and I'm gonna remember the British Bulldogs. You remember seeing clips of the British
Bulldogs when they had Matilda the bulldogwith them. Ricky, Yeah, okay,
so that was like a big partof my childhood. I was.
I was horrified and scared when Matildawent missing, when the Islanders stole her.
So she's a part of my childhoodmemories. What I'm gonna say,
Matilda's six hanging doog nipples. There'san image for you, Okay, Ricky,

(27:12):
you have had a moment here tothink of another noun. Another noun.
Uh, let's go with let mesee here. In the meantime,

(27:33):
my household item choice is going tobe, uh, the rabbit vibrator.
I'm thinking it's something. Ron Simmons. Ron Simmons is okay, Ron Simmons
is, You're on the right track. I know. Ron Simmons is.

(27:56):
I'll give me one second here,all right, while you're while you're you're
gonna put it together. So I'mgonna give you the time you need.
In the meantime, I have anotheroccupation. So I'm going to say assassin,
and I'm going to for a romanticnickname. I'm gonna say a little
shout out to our partner in crime, Jeff Berg I'm gonna say sweet pooky.

(28:18):
I'm gonna go with Ron Simmons isdull witted mistress, all right.
Ron Simmons is dull witted mistress.And so she says something outlandish and he
says damn yay, verb ending ins I'm gonna say slobbers. All right,

(28:45):
Ricky, give me a place,please, the Greensboro Coliseum. All
right, Greensboro Coliseum. And uhmy I adverb I just interjected there while
you were thinking of a place,was sloppily. Now I need a verb

(29:06):
ending in e ed. How abouthow about tombstone? Ricky? Give me
an animal? Plural animals? What'sthe plural platypuses. I think it's platypuses

(29:29):
or it's platipie. But we're gonnaput platypuses because because platipie just sounds like
a failed attempt at baking a pie. Uh, and that's not what the
image we're looking for. So theplatypuses will go with um adjectives. It's
probably gonna have to describe platypuses.So I'll say, delightfully chunky, all

(29:55):
right, delightfully chunky, you platipie, Ricky. We are in a section
now where we need we need likeseven more nouns, So do your do
your worst? We need seven nouns. Yeah, well, just we need
seven individual more nouns for this.So I'll help you and I'll think of

(30:17):
some too. But do you haveone ready to go in the holster?
Yeah? Give me one second here, yes, um, let's go with
Fred Ottman. Fred Ottman, youhave it. I know you do.

(30:44):
In the meantime, I'm working outmine down over here, which I'll tell
you in a moment here. Butyou're you are right on the tip of
it with Fred Ahtman. I knowyou do. I know you are.
Fred Ottman's personal barbecue sauce. FredOtman's barbecue sauce, Fred Aptman, Fred
Aptman's private sauce. All right,Well, that that that that holds up

(31:10):
pretty well with Curly Bill's crippling depressionthat I came up. Who's crippling depression?
Was it Curly Bill? That?That? That was Virgil's name when
he went to the wcpney. Hewas a member of the West Texas Rednecks.
For some reason, his name wasCurly Bill. Uh. It's crazy,
okay, So Ricky think of anotherdown here. While I put in

(31:33):
an adjective, I'm gonna say forthe adjective um soft, and I need
another adjective, so i'm gonna say, uh, dirty fur covered. And
for my next age, I'm doingall the adjectives while you think of a

(31:56):

I have to say that was good. So you have you had that

(40:13):
big Vader and Sid match, andnow they're getting a shot of this buried
alive grave mound, a big gianthunk of dirt on a stage with an
already dug grave, and that's theset upon which this match is going to
take place. Ricky, I don'tremember much of this match, so I

(40:36):
am really interested in seeing they're showinga video package here of the man Kind
and Undertaker. A few they hadalready fought. Man Kind of attacked Undertaker.
The day after WrestleMania twelve, theyfought at King of the Ring in
a match where, if I'm rememberingcorrectly, Paul Bear turned on the Undertaker.

(41:00):
And when was their boiler room?That was at Summer Slam. The
Summer Slam that Vader and Michael's headlineit was ninety six, yep, ninety
seven would have an Undertaker and BretHart. Uh, it wasn't no,
no, no, you know whatit was? It was the boiler room
was ninety six. Yes, that'sright, that's right, Okay. The

(41:20):
ninety six main event was Michael's Vader. Ninety seven was Bret Hart an Undertaker
with Michaels as the referee. Sothere was where Paul Bear turned on Undertaker.
After all those years they had together. That was a huge turn at
the time they had the match youmentioned the boiler room at Summer Slam h
and now this buried alive match wasreally the blowoff. But they would come

(41:45):
back around what a year and ahalf after this rookie and have one of
the most famous matches in wrestling history. I would say so, and that
witness and I mean, how muchdoes a year and a half change?
You know that they that that's wherethey were a year and a half after

(42:05):
this, they were in that Hellin the Cell in Pittsburgh having a legendary
and that's remarkable that that angle lasteda year and a half. Yeah,
that just showed you what kind ofchemistry he has. Two had. Now
they cooled him off and they wouldseparate him here and there, but they
always were like involved with each otherup until that Hell in the Cell match
where it kind of that was theultimate blowoff. So I think I think

(42:29):
for this show, we're actually onlygoing to have two matches to review,
Ricky, but what a couple ofheavy hitters they are considering. And of
course we'll break somewhere in here andgive you another one of our fantastic segments
this week. We recorded several andmight be a mad lib. It might
be a promo, it might beboth, it might be a visit to
the B Club. I want toleave that as a surprise for you fans,

(42:51):
and you will see what it iswe as we break halfway through here.
However, I do want to saythat, even as a two match
show review for this particular show,what two bigger matches can you think of?
Then Undertaker Mankind buried alive and thensit in Vader talk about two talk
about a powerful main in somebody,I don't think this is the main hold

(43:15):
on? Is this the main event? Well? How much time do we
have left on this paper? Theremight be a buffer match in between.
You might be right, but no, this is it. You are right?
Yeah, here comes Mankind and Ithink if I'm correct, Rickie,
this match starts in the ring.They have to fight to the stage that
has the grave site on it.I don't know how. I want to

(43:36):
just check one fance from it.Okay, we're back everyone. Yes,
you're right that this is the lastmatch, So we've got about thirty minutes
left in the show. Some darkmatches afterwards. Oh yes, I believe
that's true. They were joking aboutthat, like, Okay, so we've
seen one superstar buried and supposedly killedhere right in front of your eyes,
and now here are the Godwins andthe New Rockers. Yeah, so the

(43:58):
gout then, then, Shaun Mike. I think Conrad Thompson was just joking
about that earlier with Jose Fario defeatedShawn Michaels and gold Dust for the Heavyweight
Championship. Shawn Michaels and gold Dustspot in a dark match on this show.
Yeah, look, did it really? And that that was the last
match of the night. Wow,So gold Dust pulled double duty. Uh

(44:20):
well that's that's a good way tosend the fans home happy a world title
match. Boy, was Mick Foleyin total character here or what? Ricky?
Look how deep into this mankind?I love Mankind? I thought that
was such a cool gimmick and hedid have just an amazing magical chemistry with
the Undertaker. Mick Foley had it, but specifically the character of mankind.

(44:40):
They had something magic to Yes,I fully agree, definitely one of the
better angles in rest in history.Does bring back childhood memories. Rinky,
you hear the two big gongs ofthe Undertaker's the music. Now the entire

(45:01):
crowd is being lit up by wellback then it was a camera, camera
flashes and lighters. Nowadays its cellphone. So yeah, it's still a
good visual either way. I know, it's not as it's not as it's
just not as great your right.So now Undertaker walking out of the smoke,

(45:23):
walking out of those steel wrought irongates that lead to the graveyard that
one of these men will be buriedin by the end of this match.
You know what's great about wrestling,Ricky, that you just can't get in
baseball or football. Sometimes matches arebooked in which the result is advertised as
death. Yeah, and this isn'tthe days now, And this isn't the

(45:47):
days now where you can you canhave an eye for an eye, fake
ass bullshit eye for an eye matchthat's the goofiest, dumbest thing ever and
execute it like a special needs secondgrader. Uh. This actually was a
level above that. Although even thisat the time was a bit ridiculous,

(46:07):
but at least they did it well. We remember it. He was gonna
remember that eye for an eye bullshit. I know. Except for being one
of the great embarrassments of all time. All right, so these two are
starting off hot and heavy. Undertakercame in with a big boot. Now
they're having a fisticuffs Ricky, buta lot of smoke in that arena.
It almost looks like a white outover the top of them. Which was

(46:29):
your favorite Undertaker get up? I'dlike the original, the gray and the
black and torn sleeves, and thenthe second one after that was was really
good too. I would say theonly one that was terrible was the American
Band. Ass was stupid. Iwas not a big fan of the American
Band as it had. It hadits moments like that WrestleMania eighteen match with

(46:49):
Flair. He was like with thegroup, wasn't the Ministry of Darkness?
Yeah? I didn't care for thateither. I liked the Ministry of Darkness
home because it was the first timeUndertaker advantage heel in years, and I
liked him as a heel. ButI thought as dumb as that American badass
him it was and mankind just gotthe back of his head smashed against that
guard rail, it was, andthat was for that was legit, you

(47:14):
guarant like mc foley just got himselfalmost a guaranteed concussion. There, Undertaker
climbing to the top comes off withoh my god, Undertaker came off with
some suicidal dives his own over theyears in his career. He came off
with some crazy shit off that offthose ropes out to the concrete head first
for being such a big dude.He jumped off those ropes and oh my

(47:36):
god, dude, do you knowwhat the craziest bump I think I've ever
seen Undertaker take was in that firstSean Michaels WrestleMania match at WrestleMania twenty five.
You know, they had their theirseries, their classic series at the
first one, which is still absolutelyoff the charts, five star match.
Go out of your way to seeit. It's so fantastic. But at
one point, Undertaker dives over theropes and lands directly on his head on

(48:00):
the concretence. I saw that itjust escapes death like by by an inch,
easy fucking lod. So now they'vemade their way over to this burial
heap ricky, and luckily for them, someone has already dug the larger hole.
A mankind has not forgotten about thatshovel, and he just stabbed it

(48:21):
into the Undertaker's face. Undertaker writhinga bit up there. Now mankind has
climbed all the way up to theropes. He's got the Undertaker in a
souplex position. Is he going asoup lex him in the hole? What
is the Undertaker doing? A smallpackage? And they rolled down the burial
hill a small package, reversal afterreversal all the way down the burial hill.
That was a cool spot. Paulbears over there with the urn,

(48:49):
trying to see if he needs toget involved or not. He doesn't want
to get too close to the Undertaker. It's only a few months removed from
him turning on the man, betrayinghim after years, five years together.
Now they're they're fighting back to thering. Here, you've got Undertaker delivering
some hard shots. How far wastheir feud? I many months in?

(49:09):
Was the feud right now as well? I mean they had their first interaction
the day after WrestleMania, so Aprilof ninety six, and think about it,
Hell in the Cell was June ofninety eight, so over a two
year fuge. And like I said, they had a few starts and stops,
but it was mostly they feud itoff and on that old time,
and then even beyond that a bit, they got an inexplicable close up of

(49:38):
some random fan there. I don'tknow why they leaned in so close to
that one fan. Maybe she knewsomebody. And Ricky, do you what
memories do you have of this actualmatch? Do you remember watching this as
a kid? You don't specifically rememberwatching this and if I you know,

(50:00):
maybe a few moments of it orwhoever gets buried will bring it back to
me. Well, Undertaker was chokingMankind with the microphone cord. I'm just
trying to understand. So so farwe've had a pretty decent but I would
say slope paced brawl at this pointa little bit. Yeah, Mankind gets
tossed over, trustling. Just alot of bunches and bashing heads of a

(50:24):
steel guard room. But since thisis the culmination of our fantastic favorite series,
I want to point out here thethings that make this match maybe magical
for the memory of somebody like SamMitchell. So Undertaker was on the outside
in the crowd, Irish whip Mankindover the guardrail, and now Undertaker leaked

(50:45):
into the air, cleared the guardrailand hit Mankind with a clothesline on the
floor. This match is getting good. Ricky. Oh, by the way,
when mankind would make that squealing pacesound, that was so unsettling it
out of me. Yeah, itwas like it was a big being.
Human being should not be able tomake that noise. I couldn't agree more.

(51:08):
I wonder if he makes that noisewhen he's having a morga, why
don't you call collecte folly right now? And I imagine mcfoley's children like laying
in their bed and they just hearthat squealing. So you imagine Collette fully

(51:28):
dressed up like a farmer's daughter inlike Daisy dukes and a flannel, and
she's going out to slaughter Mick Foley, who's playing the role of the baby
pig. And that's their game,and that's what the kids are hearing in
the next room. I wonder dowe grew up to be a writer for
the WWF won Can you imagine whata twisted mind you must have Undertaker now

(51:50):
going up for them. I haveto admit my least favorite spot. Oh
it didn't work out this time,under Well, I think it's a little
it looked, but looking back nowas an adult, it just takes way
too much cooperation, like Lance Archerdoes it these days, and it looks
even faker when he does it becausehe actually like walks him out to the

(52:12):
middle of the ring. The guy'sjust letting his arm up there for the
guy to carry him all the wayacross the ring. It looked phony as
shit when the Undertaker did it too. I've always hated that spot. It's
amazing that a guy that big canwalk the ropes like a tight wire,
but I mean, it's just anillogical move. Although in this case Paul
Bear reached up there shook the ropes, an Undertaker crotched himself. Now every
time I hear just thinking of that'sgoing on in the weekend in the Fully

(52:38):
bedroom. Well, you know,they did have two more kids after Fully
got out of wrestling, so theymust have kept it somewhat interesting there.
It is, there's that baby pignoise right now, and he is this
sound before the next Fully child that'sgoing to see and he and mankind makes
it when he's getting beat up andwhen he's on the offense, or like
their next neighbors are having like adinner outside in their all seasons room and

(53:00):
they just hear his squib in comingfrom what does that sound? They come
out and Fully's forgotten to like takehis little snout off. Collette still has
their hair and pigtailers are like,oh I again, I see, I'll
see what you naughty kids have done. So Undertaker was still selling that ball

(53:22):
shot on the rope, so apparentlyeven though he's the dead man, he
does not have a dead dick.That was that red dick still registered some
pain. So oh mankind was handedwhat looks to be a pencil by Paul

(53:47):
Bear and he just stabbed the Undertakerin the forehead with it. What is
that, Ricky? Just a woodensteak pencil? It looks like some type
of steak he does. It lookslike a shard of wood and oh,
He's stabbed it right the top ofthe Undertaker's head. That was brutal looking
and right in full view of thecamera, but not in full view of

(54:10):
the referee. So he's getting awaywith all this. I'm trying to figure
out what that is. I thinkit's just a carved like shift a wooden
shif So now I don't even knoweven if the referee did see it,
Ricky could he stop the match becausewouldn't you imagine a buried a live match
where one man must bury the otherand kill him, that maybe a ford

(54:31):
object would be allowed, And yes, considering someone's life is going to end,
I think my favorite, my favoritepart of the match so far was
those rolling small packages off. Thatwas funny. So Mankind and Dave Hebner
or Earl Haddner rather is not eventrying to take that object away because this

(54:51):
isn't anything goes match and the outcomeis someone again loses their life in this
match. And you know, thepace is slowly being ramped up. So
these guys started out slow, butgoody they meant every shot that hit.
Oh, Undertaker's got that object nowand whoa, he's got some mustard behind
those shots where he's stabbing it intoMankind's head. Man. Now, if

(55:15):
this were real life, these menboth have puncture wounds in their brains.
Who would you say as your favoritemcfoley gimmick? That would you said?
Cactus Jack? Mankind? Dude,Love, I gotta go with Cactus Jack.
It's a good question. I rememberI told Sam, I think some

(55:36):
like Captus Jack's best worming was earlynineties WCW Yes, and it was,
and his promos were great. Letme put it this way. He was
great in all of them, andeven as Dude Love, which I felt
it was a little bit corny.Oh, Undertaker has gotten Mankind down to
the ground, incapacitated. So nowhe's giving chase to the fat man,
giving chase to that rotten swindler,the term Paul Bear. And but it

(56:01):
has given Mankind. Mankind's a fasthealer. He's got the chair now in
his hands. To answer your question, Ricky, my favorite was Mankind.
However, he was brilliant in allthe roles. But I just remember this
the feud with the Undertaker, theHell in the Cell match, winning the
title from the rock matches with SteveAustin. I just think I saw more

(56:21):
of what I liked with Mankind thanany of the other Personas so, Paul
Bear hit the Undertagger at the backof the head with the urn, and
it distracted him enough that Fully couldcome in with the chair, and now
Fully is hugging the chair like hewants to go to sleep with it.
And vincement Man's commentary on Paul barnOr Fury was simply that slug. You

(56:49):
know, it was a shame whathappened with Paul Bear too, because Paul
Bear was a great heel manager.He could cut a hell of a promo.
He had some aspects of that cornet, that Southern cornet at heel South,
didn't he in world class? Worldclass? He might. He might
have done some some things in midSouth, but he was mostly known as
in world class the Von Eric's promotion. So Mankind just did one of his

(57:13):
signature moves, that running knee intothe head of his opponent while the opponent
is sitting plastered up against the steelstairs. And now Mankind again beating the
Undertaker backwards. They're heading back tothat burial hill. I don't think they're
gonna be able to small package upthe hill the same way they did down
there. So Undertaker is right onthe edge now of the whole. Undertaker's

(57:45):
in the hole he was just kickedin. Undertaker is in that six foot
under Mankind got about one shovel ofherb on there, and Undertaker stood up
and dragged Mankind into the grave withhim. Mankind has now escaped from the

(58:08):
grave. I don't mean to spoilthis to myself, but oh, I'm
thinking Mankind gets choked slammed in.I think you might be right about that.
I don't actually remember if that thathappens or not, but I Mankind
just pulled a dirty trick there andthrew dirt into the eyes of the Undertaker.
And now he's trying to hip tosshim into the grave. But instead
here comes what I think you weretalking about, Ricky, Oh Jesus Christ,

(58:34):
Oh boy. So I thought whatyou were gonna, what you were
saying was gonna happen, and hewas gonna get hip tossed into the grave,
but instead he got him tossed ontothe concrete floor from about what eight
feet up in the air. Lookat this bump by Fully Now. I
know the fans can't see it,but described the impact here, Jesus,
oh God, and somehow Undertaker thatthat allowed Undertaker to fight fully back to

(58:59):
the ring. But miraculously fully ishe has the advantage once again in the
ring. That shows you how muchimpact that chair shot had on the Undertaker
fully did his very unique version ofthe pile driver. But now he's trying
a pin and Errol Hedner yelling athim, saying, you can't win this
by pinfall mankind totally frustrated, rippinghis own hair out and throwing it towards

(59:21):
the sky. I don't want tokill him. I just want to pin
him. And now he's got adoing a crooked lop around the ring.
He's got to always hate it whenthey did that, though, Greg,
like when it was a match likethis and they would try to pin him,
like playing off that they forgot.I just always didn't annoy you because
it screwed with your sense of order. Believable. I felt like screw up,

(59:44):
Like, come on, we allknow this is a buried alive match,
so on the moment and so I'mgonna pin him. Well, that's
a that's interesting that that you werenot a fan of that. I could
see why maybe you wouldn't have beena fan of that kind of stupid.
I always kind of liked it,only because I felt like it added a
sense of like, oh, wow, he's screwed up there because he's not
supposed to do pins out of instinct. But you know, you were just

(01:00:06):
wrestling on a dirt hill. Shouldn'thave reminded you that this was a buried
altment. Now a mankind that apparentlyhis anxiety is going up here because while
the Undertaker is knocked out, Mankindhas taken the opportunity to hug and rock
with the urn in the fetal position, and Undertaker now meets him with a

(01:00:27):
boot to the midsection. And thisis gonna hurt. Oh big chair shot.
Look how bent that chair is.That chair is bent to shit over
the head of the Undertaker, overthe back of Folly. Now, Undertaker
put the chair on Foley's face,drops the leg that I mean, look,
if you didn't execute that right,look at looking ball there, Oh

(01:00:49):
naughty. If they didn't execute thatright, I mean, Mankind's whole face
could have been shattered with that legdrop move with the chair. Yeah,
man Kind actually executed a stone coldstunner type move, only instead of his
shoulder, it was the top ropethat the Undertaker got slammed down on throat

(01:01:13):
first. God the impact of thatleg drop on the chair by Undertaker to
fully. But obviously Folly's all rightbecause now he's pulled out the Undertaker and
he's gonna try that unique pile driverpile driver on the concrete floor. Fully
had a quick release pile driver,would he would release him? Here?
He would lift him up but thentake him down extremely quickly in one move.

(01:01:35):
And oh, my Lord in Heaven, I love him back in the
day when the big spot was likethe sunset flip on the concrete floor,
like remember the pop at least thegame I know, but even something that
was twenty four years ago. Sowhen when Fully tried that pile driver on
the concrete, Undertaker hoisted him up, lifted him up on his back and
then and then just fell back withhim against the steel steps. That looked
brutal for ninety six. Yes,in other words, that would look brutal

(01:01:58):
today. That was ECW Yes,ecws for sure. Now both men are
back in the ring, but soare the steel blue steps, and oh
mankind takes the steps face first,Undertaker just hurled the steps at him.
Undertaker picks up the steps again.He's getting some payback time here right across

(01:02:21):
the mid level point of Follies back. Look at those scars on fullies arms.
Tell me that man did not dosome psycho shit for wrestling. Yeah,
that is a huge understanding. Barbedwire, bombs, flames, you
name it, thumb taps. Undertakerfeeling it now, Ricky pointing over to

(01:02:45):
the grave. He just tombstone Mankindand now he's rolling him out. Now
it's done. Undertaker feels like hehas incapacitated the man enough, but he
can safely rag his ass back tothe burial site. He's got Mankind up
on the fireman's carry, which allowshim to walk with him. Walk with

(01:03:08):
all that weight of Mankind right acrosshis shoulders. He's gonna walk him right
up to that burial pile. Andthis one might be all over, but
the crying, Ricky, how don'tshe make FOLI weds? He is he
thre bowers. It depended. Hisweight went up and down throughout his career.

(01:03:29):
Right here he was in pretty damngood shave. I would say he
was probably about two eighty two ninety. So Mankind got the mandible claw on
the Undertaker up atop that burial hill, and now he's broken it. He
didn't have it on and long enoughto put him out. But now you
know why Paul Bear throwing the urnto Mankind. He's gonna try to beat

(01:03:52):
him with it. Undertaker instead appliesthe google. Here's what you were talking
about, Ricky, bigs choke slamand Mankind against chokes slammed into the grave.
That's got to the end. Mankindjust choked slam all the way to
hell. And now the Undertaker isvery quickly and rapidly taking that dirt and

(01:04:15):
dumping it into the grave. Lookat that dirt. It fall right across
the back of folly. He's tryinghis best here to cover fully, at
least cover him with a layer ofdirt. I mean he's buried him alive,
right, I mean, like yeah, I mean, I guess he's
winning. Isn't that the end ofthe match. That he's you know,

(01:04:36):
fully is buried. He's in thegrave and he got covered with dirt.
That's it. Yeah. Now Iimagine there must have been some kind of
a breathing tube down there that theguy, once he was down there,
could get a hold of to breathewhile they threw the dirt on top of
him. Now, if I remembercorrectly here, Ricky Mankind does not take

(01:05:00):
this defeat. Oh my lord god, Undertaker just threw the referee off the
top of the burial hill like apiece of shit. And now another referee
that must be padded down the endof that because he's hurling those referees like
they were pieces of dog shit rightdown to the floor. Undertaker still pouring
dirt into the into the grave,covering fully. But like I said,

(01:05:23):
if I remember correctly yet, there'sthe executioner. One of the last runs
of Terry Gordy in Terry Grajor Wrestling, that was Terry Gordy under the mask.
Unfortunately, this was post stroke TerryGordy, so he was not anywhere
close to the wrestler he used tobe, and he had some pretty terrible

(01:05:45):
matches and he wasn't in the ww F long. But here he's uncovered.
So he was Mankind's sort of toadyand he now look, he's swept,
He's brushed the dirt off of Mankind. He's pulling Mankind out of the
grave. And I don't like what'sin store for the Undertaker here. Well,
Ricky, while these dastardly heels preparedto turn the tables on the Undertaker

(01:06:09):
and dump him in there, hegoes Takers in the hole. When Nick
Foley fought back on this match andhe was talking about how long he felt
the segment was taking, he saidthat it felt like the executioner burying Undertaker
with his hands was equivalent to acat covering its poop with cat litter and
the cat. That's how ineffective TerryGordon was covering and burying the Undertaker.

(01:06:33):
You know, you know, gimmickmatches really aren't my thing, but I
can appreciate this match because it wasn'tit wasn't really that long. It wasn't
that long, and it was goodthe whole way. It was good.
Yeah, and they didn't they didn'tdraw drawn out, and you've now got
a scene out of a out ofa weird Nightmare film with Mankind and the
executioner literally burying the Undertaker in agrave, and they've got quite the layer

(01:06:57):
of dirt now. So now theUndertakers literally the breathing dude down there.
That would freak me, You wouldget too claustrophobic right away. Yeah,
so Undertaker is almost well, heis completely buried. Now. The other
heels are coming out there. There'sgold dust and Bradshaw crushes out there,

(01:07:23):
Triple ages out there. They're allteaming up to bury their common enemy,
the Undertaker. And if Undertaker wasthe dead Man before, I don't know
what you would call him now,the dead and buried man. I guess,
Ricky, Now, what do youthink of this asn't enny You said

(01:07:44):
you weren't a big fan of thegimmick matches, But what about this as
a spectacle in a scene? Yeah, it's it's unique. I mean,
this is something that like could playon the highlight reel right here, just
this they look, look at thecraziness you're seeing here these You got a
cowboy and a prisoner, and apsych named Mankind, and a big fat
man named Paul Bear, and aand a and an androgynous weirdo gold Dust,
all burying a man in a graveon this show you're watching. Telling

(01:08:09):
me wrestling is not the greatest thingin the world. Sama, Mitchell,
I can understand why you love thismatch so much, just for the spectacle
of it all. Yeah, I'mjust I'm actually getting costopogen just watching us.
I think I'm with you. Iwould have a very hard time with
a bunch of dirt on top ofme. Now at this point, who

(01:08:29):
knows. I would assume the Undertakermight have had a passage way out past
a certain point. I don't thinkhe's under there and under that much dirt.
Oh god, Paul Bart is screamingup into the heaven. Yes,
he's gone forever, oh years.Let me hear your best, Paul Bart,

(01:08:53):
I'm not even come on, comeon, I want you to.
I want you to threaten a womanon the street and Paul bar language.
Oh my gosh, yeah, heasked hanstones escape tunnel. You would think,

(01:09:13):
because that's just too much dirt youcould you wouldn't be able to move.
Let's say that breathing up gratis likehey about your mouth by accident.
Could you imagine if Paul Bear ina construction worker's hat on the side of
the street, getting as luncher asthey as the as the woman walks by,

(01:09:35):
and he's like, oh ye,come here, baby, come on
him being a telemarketer and you're gettinga phone call that voice, I know
what This part starting to lose thesizzle a little bit. This is dragging
out. It's taking them too longto completely bury the undertaker, Like this

(01:09:57):
is the audience, we get it. I think you're right. I think
the have ended this about three minutesago and they've only got the grave three
quarters of the way filled up.But hey, I give him credit.
They advertise the Buried Alive match.They're gonna bury that man all the way.
But you're right, it's it's twotime consuming. Could you imagine how
long it would have taken him withoutthe other six heals out there, Paul

(01:10:17):
Bear looks like a demonic master ceremonies. Mankind has gotten back in the grave
now to even out the dirt.Mankind's arms are dark brown up to his
elbows from all that mud, whichis the one where another Taker like resurrects.
Oh fucking Royal Rumble ninety four,one of the worst excuses in history
of a match Undertaker in Yokozuna.And yes, he ascends to heaven.

(01:10:43):
They didn't, they didn't all theyweren't all home runs. Ricky, do
you think Paul Bear as a telemarketeruses active listening? Yeah? What are
bars? Hey, isn't it MyUndertaker will be at your house on Tuesday.

(01:11:05):
If you do not give me yourcredit card right now, I'd buy.
I just can't believe how long thisis going on. This burial is
taking seventeen minutes already, Jerry Lawlers, he's still not coming up. Yeah,

(01:11:27):
I'm surprised Vince didn't send a queto somebody. At this point said,
Okay, guys, this is draggingon way too long. And all
right, so the heels are proudof themselves. Now they're all high fiving
that they buried, that they gotthe job done and buried him. But
now they hear a rumbling. Allthe heels are scared except mankind the executor,
Paul Barrett, still trying to finishthe job, still shoveling dirt,

(01:11:53):
and you're gonna see one of thehokiest endings of all time. Rick.
Yeah, yes, this was agreat match or a good very good man.
Uh yes, it was a spectacle. But you're about to see one
of the worst excuses for an endingin wrestling history. When they replay them
the movie Carry, the famous horrormovie Carry. They're gonna basically rip off

(01:12:15):
the ending of Carrie and you're gonnasee what happens here in a minute.
So there goes Paul Bear, theexecutioner by forty fully and moody. Paul
Bear was Bill Moody. Uh nowjust keep your eyes here. Watch.
So we think, okay, well, they buried and the undertakers dead lightning

(01:12:38):
bolt from the top of the arenaright on the grave. And look at
what we're about to get here.The purple gloved hand of the understand that
pokes out of the grave. I'mshitting all over it. Ricky's that he

(01:13:00):
is a fan of this. Hey, you know that's the maybe that's the
kid in you talking. Maybe justenjoy that cartoonishness. I thought it was
one of the most ridiculous endings youcould possibly ever have. But the match
itself was very good. And youknow what, if you like the ending,
that could be more ridiculous than himastending to Heaven. No, no,
that heaven was Heaven was worse.Heaven was definitely worse. But this

(01:13:24):
was also up there, just onthe over the top goofiness level, like
who who could not watch that?Who? What adult could not watch that?
And undertaker moment with the hand comingup and not laugh? Yeah,
And I don't think you were supposedto. I don't think you were supposed
to feel joy or humor there.But either way, m what did you
think of the actual match itself?Final thoughts? I wasn't offended, it

(01:13:45):
was it was an entertaining match,A couple of sick bumps, of ridiculous
bumps, but it's short and sweet. Well, I would say I'm glad
that We've come to the end hereof our fantastic favorite series. This was
fun to watch all three favorite matchesyou me and Sam, and I hope

(01:14:05):
Sam you have enjoyed our rundown ofyour favorite match Buried Alive here. Even
though I've shipped all over the ending, Ricky is still defending at the child
inside is defending this um. Allright, so this was in your house,
Buried Alive. What moments stick out, Ricky? Any any highlights in
there? Any favorite moments of thisone? What was the first match?

(01:14:27):
Again? First match was Austin andTriple H? And then I'm sorry the
second match, which I think Idon't know was it the Bulldogs and Smoking
Guns? Was it pulled Art Marrowon gold Dust. I really enjoyed the
tag team match that was. Thetag team match was good. I thought
the first match with Austin and TripleH got good, although it started out
a little too slow and not muchhappening, but it was the opener,

(01:14:48):
you know what, I really Iwould say, Mark maron gold Must Mark
Maron Goldust was a pretty good match. I actually liked Vader and Sid too,
Like yeah, for those two guys, they had a decent match.
No, like really terribly blown spots. Vader Vader's elevation on the chokeslam was
a little weak. Other than that, though it was a good match.

(01:15:12):
Vader was elevated three and a halfinches. You remember, like back in
ninety six, like Sid really wasat his peak as a worker, and
that's not saying much, but hedid pull off a pretty impressive performance there.
And look, he was a badassfrom that Survivor series all the way
through until he lost it at WrestleManiato the Undertaker. Sid had a pretty
badass run with the title as likethat leather vest wearing, just bad champ

(01:15:35):
up until like two thousand and one, two thousand, Yeah, he was
the WCW champ a couple of timesand until they did one of those reboots
where Vince Russo took over and theyrebooted the whole promotion and made all the
champions hand over their belts to startall over again, and Sid had to
hand over his belt. And then, of course the ending for Sid was

(01:15:59):
gruesome to say the least. OhGod, did you did you ever see
the footage of that? Isn't itone of the most sickening things you'll ever
see? In your life file.I don't ever want to see it again.
I have a compound fracture of hisleg. During a match in WCW,
he came off the rope on onefoot and a guy that big um
with who was that old, andthe wrestled for that long to come off

(01:16:19):
on one foot and land. Itwas really an ill advised It looked otherworldly.
It looked like something out of aout of a you know, it
looked like a poorly done special effect. It was so just uh just terrible,
just awful looking. Luckily it wasin this boot. Could you imagine

(01:16:40):
if like that was Jimmy Snicker orsomebody, a guy that didn't wear boots
and he saw the actual compound again, No, no, Well sind did
eventually come back and do some matches, but that was effectively the end of
his career. Well, Ricky,I would say, uh, I'm gonna
give it to I'm gonna give itto Buried Alive was the clear winner as
far as overall good matches, andI'm actually gonna put sid Invaders as number

(01:17:03):
two here. Everything else on theshow was good, but that match had
stakes and had two big stars,two monsters, so I'm gonna give it
to that one as number two,and of course buried alive for the being
the spectacle it was, and beforethe spectacle, just two guys destroying each
other. I was a fan,so Ricky, unless you have anything else

(01:17:24):
for the fans, this week,solid show, solid show. We will
see you again next week for moreof our hilarity and hijinks are insight and
excitement and a whole lot of twoRose goodness. So happy trails to you
