Bischoff becomes the general manager.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh bad. Yes, it is the Bischoff GM debut, and
also a bit of a reset here for the WWE,
because the episode just before this was so bad that

Ooh uh sgh For this month is UFC six Boys Choice.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I made a mistake last week, James. You weren't here
and that's why The mistake was made because I forgot
we discussed this already that we were watching UFC six,
and I told the people that they got to pick.
So that was my bad. I'll take that one. I apologize.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
How about we cut a deal. Next month, you guys
get to pick.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Oh wow, see you always come through like you always

very excited. The UFC shows are always a fucking blast
with the boys, and this will be another one for
the books.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Speaking of the books, man, the XFL one was actually
really cool. I think if you guys haven't seen the
XFL s we watched the very first game that ever
broadcasted legit the broadcast from the TV. It's pretty interesting.
I think you guys should check that out for sure.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
It was the true to life broadcast so much so
that we got to experience the changing of the game
like three quarters of the way through the game. That's
a real thing that happened. You should check it out.

all true. Yes, David bi Weekly puts up a retro
sink on our Patreon and this one. Yes, EASTW Champion Taz,
he just went he's already signed her. He's been in
WWF for like four months, went to ECW because Mike
Austin was a bitch and was going to WCW. Someone

(03:24):

Did you know that subway used to have the triangle
cut on top of the sub to keep the stuff
up top. You should look that up. I don't know
if anyone knows that, but subway used to cut a
triangle with the bread at the top. Well, put it
on top to keep everything in on the top so
you could grab it and eat it.

the ride, and glad you are participating in voting a
lot of categories, a lot of winners. I be honest, James,
I haven't peepees. I am. I'm going in blind as
blind as that can be. I have the thing open
for last year, so I can tell you who won
these award last year, but I am unawares of who

(16:19):
won this year.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, I'm in arrested to see how this breaks down
compared to last year. You know, all right, So let's

twenty four.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Oh my, who impressed you the most? Hadn't impressed you before?

we have Kyle Fletcher, Oba Fimi, Javon Evans, Mariah May,
Jacob Faught, Tou Harley Cameron, and Joe Heinjury.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Well, I got to put on my vote here, James,
I'm making a known. I didn't vote, but I'm voting

you know, our favorite here, We're going for Joe Hendry.
I will tell you, James, what the hell you can't
but there's no wrong.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Oh, I'm sorry. I must have fucking misconstrued what this
fucking was.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, I guess so, God damn Well. What I will
tell you, James is last year, the twenty twenty three
breakout Star of the Year in the Debdies was none
other than Swarve Strickland.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh, he had a great year.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
He did a fantastic year. Thirty three point nine percent
last year Breakout Star of the Year.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Swerve Strickland the twenty twenty four Breakout Star of the
Year at twenty three point eight percent of the votes.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Say his name and he fears.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
I believe in Javan Evans.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Wow, let's go, let's go.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
It's right, bet that boy is breakout Star of the year.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
That's the right answer, motherfucker. Of course it's Javon Evans
A you kidding me. That's what we've been saying. We've
been saying that for years. He's been the breakout star
for three years. I'm playing Javon Evans. That's fucking awesome.
We love that son of a bitch.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, congratulations, that is very cool. He did have a
great year.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
He did. You can come to the next EPW show
and pick up your award. I'll be waiting.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
We'll always be there.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
We're waiting.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
So the next award here is Company of the Year.
Some would say this is the most coveted, even above
Wrestler of the Year for many.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
We should do this at the top. Really, that's how
big this is. But we're you know, we'll play it cool. Here.
Who are the nominees for the twenty twenty four Promotion
of the Year.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
The nominees are the WWE, the ae W, the DPW,
the TJPW, the New Japan Pro Wrestling PW.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Well, the promotion of the Year for twenty twenty three
was Deadlock Pro Wrestling. I mean, like, first of all,
what a good year for that. And I believe I
don't want to misspeak so I can check real quick,
but I believe also the twenty twenty two Promotion of
the Year was also Deadlock Pro Wrestling, which.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
They've done it again.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Let me double check that real quick. I believe I
have that right here, that Deadlock Pro Wrestling might be
two years running as a Promotion of the year. Yes,
that is correct.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Unbelievable, some would say, a once in a lifetime run.
Can they continue it into the year twenty twenty four?
Is the question on everybody's mind.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Has anybody won an award this many times in the
row like this, Like this is going to turn into
the goddamn Deadlock Pro Company of the Year award Brian
Danielson style.

Speaker 1 (19:40):

sometimes they implied that Matt Hardy burned out Jeff Harty's
house one time, but like.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
He showed it here.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, we saw him do it and he sat out

I mean that deciding factor is that DPW show though,
I mean, what a show. Good highest a tendant show.
We've had marquee matches. I mean, like I would vote

Year was Hangman Adam Page versus Swerve Strickland in a
Texas death match from A to B full Gear twenty
twenty three, where again, I mean those who just fucking

I didn't know people fuck with that episode so much. See,
it's like it's actually, like, out of all the things
we've ever done. I think we've talked about this before,
I feel like podcasts are like the hardest to get
feedback on in terms of like what people enjoyed. Because
we do it, it gets put out and then we
kind of just like we have to move on to
record the next one, so we don't really get to
look back and see how the other ones are doing.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Award.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
All right, let's get into ww E RAW for July fifteenth,
two thousand and two, the episode where Eric Bischoff becomes
the general manager of Raw.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Eric Bischoff's WWE debut, he shows up here. Time to
shake things up again. We usually go into the observer
portion of the of the show here, but oddly enough,
we've done all of them, like we've covered this section
of two thousand and two unbelievably. I think like there's
a lot of shit that goes on here. So if
you want to see or hear what was going on

(01:00:20):
at the time, check out the previous two thousand and
two episodes. I'm sure there's an abundance of them. I
think we did the one just two weeks before this
show here in particular. So let's get into Monday Night
Roll July fifteenth, two thousand and two.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
We started with a cold open here. Undertaker and Paul
Hayman are in the locker room and Hayman is still
reeling after being hit by a van terminator last week.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Getting hit by a van, Well, I can't drive. So yeah,
it's Undertaker and Hayman. They're talking together the undisputed titles
in the shot because the Undertaker is the undisputed Champion.
We are still in draft times, so who is on
what show is still important here, and I think we're
still in the era of undisputed champion gets to go

(01:01:02):
on whatever show seems like it. Yeah, I think that's true. So, uh,
the main event is going to be Undertaker teaming very
first time with Brock Lesner against Rick Flair and RVD.
This is crazy, dude. Yeah, Like that's a that's a
shut your mouth season mode match. Yeah for real, they're
just teaming you up with with whatever the rivalry is

(01:01:24):
going into the paper. Yeah, I mean, like I was
very intrigued. I gotta say so.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
RVD right now, by the way, is getting the biggest
pops out of anyone on the Shade.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
He's so fucking over. Yeah, he's like unbelievably over which
means like he should have won the belt for another
like five to six years.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
That means we're on the road to elimination shape.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Oh my, that's right, that is this year. Wow, we're RVD. Well, well,
I don't know to drive.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
So the nWo music hits at the top of the show,
but instead of the nWo it's Vince McMahon.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
Vince walking out to the nWo theme is cursed by
the way it is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
Yeah, I didn't understand what was going on at first.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Also, what's messed up is what happens here Again. I
know it's WWEWO, but I still have somewhere in my
heart that feels like this should be like respected a
little more, even if WCWSNWO didn't really respect the nWo.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
At the end, tell everybody the nWo sucks. What how
bad fucking id Let's go over all the eras that
are better in the era.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
That's what he does. Like, Vince gets on the mic
and says, why, I bet you're wondering why it Vince
Brockman come out to here to nWo music. Well, yes,
so he says, the reason he walked out here to
nWo music is because he thought people might want to
hear it one more time, one last time. And Vince says,
and you just did that. You heard the nWo music
for the very last time, because there is no more nWo.

(01:02:56):
The nWo is now history. The nWo era is history.
And then, as you said, he goes on to list
a bunch of other eras that he liked more the nWo.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
I thought maybe he was setting them up to come
out like big show and everybody turn out. Yeah, like, okay,
something I know. Kevin Nash was just injured last week.
He tore his squad last week, So that's why they're
pivoting here, just because Kevin Nash tours squad last week,
which leaves the big show Booker T and gold Dust.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Oh, they just kicked Booker T out as well. Booker
T got kicked out of the group on so like
that also just happened.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
I like to imagine that all the eras he listed,
they were going to bring all these guys in and
make him join the nWo, but sadly they had to
pivot and say the NWA died instead.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
So he says, the nWo era is now history, no
different than the many other eras preceding that here in
the WWE that had to come to an end, which
again this is not true. This nWo thing was not
an era. God damn it, I remember it. No you don't.
The Buddy Rogers era and Bruno sam Martina era, and
the Veijer Morales era and the super star Belly Grammar era.

(01:04:08):
And then we went into something called the Hall Cogan era. Dude,
he goes on forever ultimate Warrior, Brett hart Stone, he says,
most recently Stone called Steve Austin, which is like, okay,
and all these era made their mark, but each and
every one of these errors we changed with the times,
so we must change now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
So I think the idea here was who gets the
biggest pot because they're gonna run the nWo. But yes,
that's actually that's not what happened, because all these guys
with a team with Goldust, it would have been.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
Awesome, dude. I mean, they could have come up with
a new leader at the n W right like Triple
H is right there, Buddy Rogers with so Vince says,
this program raw was born ten years ago right across
the Hudson River in downtown New York City, and soon
we will celebrate our five hundredth episode of Raw. Hey,

(01:05:03):
we're still a brander. Three hundred episode here soon.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
Brother, Dude, five hundred episodes is nuts. They're on like
two thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
No, I know we're old.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
Yeah, I actually wrote down here. Oh my god, Oh
my god, five hundred. Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Well, it's time for Raw to be reborn again like
oh Dust was, and it's time to shake up Raw,
time to shake up SmackDown and the entire WWE brand,
and that begins tonight. He's hired two general managers, one
for Raw, one for SmackDown, and those two will have
his unqualified support in their endeavors, and tonight's within the

(01:05:40):
next hour, he will name the new general manager of
Raw that will take Raw to higher ground and the
crowd chance asshole.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
Vince says that he has these gms and he will
give these people what they truly deserve. And then it
shows the locker room watching in a big group.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Interesting setup here, it's front of like it's where you
would think the interview area would be at this time
with the screen and they're all watching.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
It and it's just incredible watching for you think.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Oh my god, dude, I'm not fucking joking. I wrote
down here, Booker taps Just Incredible on the shoulder and
asks him, what do you work here.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Watching for I just read I can watch her off
for free here. I don't have cable, dude, and Just
Incredible was wearing a deadlock jersey.

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
Holy yeah, that's awesome, right, shout out, Yeah, that's so funny.
We both had Just Incredible digs here. That's tred I mean, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
The only thing I saw when it panned.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Booker team tapping him on the shoulder, get his attention?

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
You doing here, oh cold Ship, No, I'm justin.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
The fu.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Tell me you didn't just say that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
Also, I enjoy seeing the abundance of Vengeance pay per
view shirts. I always enjoy that, And one guy that
always wears them is fucking Rick Flair. Rick Flair is
always repping the like brand merch.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Well, yeah, he wants to keep his job. So we
go backstage. Terry is with Rick Flair, who is now
in full robe, and asked him about the new general
manager tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Yes, she says, you know, there's rumors running rampant already.
It could be stone Cold. That's just justin Rick Flair.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
Did you see Just Incredible back there?

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
The fuck.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
Just walks away.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
She says, as a former co owner of this company,
do you dare? Do you care excuse me to do
you dare? Who the fuck you think is? Do you
care to speculate on who it may be? And Flair says,
I last, who is it? Flaire? Here's that somehow from
j RN commentary. Fuck. He stops and looks up ohard

(01:08:14):
On Anderson, Eddie Guerrero. Oh, just nobody, saying Petro Morales.
I just set that up.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
So now it's time for the Jeff Hardy, Bubba Ray
and Spike Dudley versus William Regal, Eddie Guerrero and Crispin
Wass six man elimination opening match tag.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
Dude, when they said it was a six man elimination tag,
I thought they like fucked it up. I thought like
Lilian just was kind of going roague here and making
rules for herself because she thought it'd be a better match.
Had I Yeah, but like elimination tag opening on wrong?
I mean, this is pretty interesting stuff. So last week,

(01:08:56):
Jeff Hardy won the European title from William Regal with
the Wanton Bomb. After the match, Regal cried because it
had a lot to him, Jeff is just coming also
off of facing Undertaker for the Underspeed the title in
the Ladder match two weeks ago. So Jeff's pretty hot
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Jeff is red hot.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Yeah, he's fucking I mean, he's awesome, he's super over
and he's doing a lot of great work here. Then
they show us a moving graphic, emotion graphic you could say,
of a match just announced earlier today, and j R. Says, well,
just was announced earlier today. It was announced that Spike
and Bubba. You can see it on the screen. It's
Spike and Bubba and Eddie and Benoa and there's a
table behind them.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
And j R.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
Says, earlier today was announced heid Spike and Bubba will
face Eddie and Bewah in a ladder match.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
Jerry says, huh no, it's a tables match, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
Or tables match? Hey, fuck your mom, gome here.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
I gotta say, though, Bubba and Spike versus Guerrero and
Benoit in a pay per view, non title tag team
table match is kind of insane. And it made me realize,
because this is right as the draft is happening, that
you can tell that everyone in this match except for

(01:10:08):
Jeff Hardy is absolutely spinning their wheels right now.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Dude, they have no I mean, like, how the fuck
is Eddie and be want on this match? I mean,
let's get real here.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
I know, especially because they go to SmackDown and top guys. Yeah,
almost instantly. Yeah, it starts with Spike Dudley. He puts
in the work here on Eddie Guerrero to get things started.
Spike has a little bit of quick pace offense here.
Head butt Cheese tries to sunset flip Eddie, but Eddie
rolls back through and eliminates him. Get the fuck out

(01:10:38):
of here.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Dude, Sunset flip Eddie rolls through inside cradle and Spike's eliminated.
See you, buddy. I was like, wow, okay, I thought
that was going to be the pace of the rest
of the match, Like I thought we were gonna fire off.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
Okay, so did I. I definitely thought that, But it
actually set up pretty well. So the Heels have the numbers.
Game on the baby failis right now, Bubba comes in.
It's the Bubba bomb on Eddie. You mentioned that. That's
where I thought, Oh wow, so Eddie's gonna get eliminated
right here.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Yes, which I thought too, and I was like, no way,
like because they gat up the bubba I'm crazy, Oh
fucked bubba bomb, and the crowd popped for it. I said, oh,
Eddie's gone. Maybe the crowd thought he was too, just
because they also expected them to go quick.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
But Regal breaks it up. So the mat shrolls on.
Regal drags Eddie to the corner. Ben Wa tags himself
in Bubba Spear tackles ben Wah and it sounds like
the ring exploded.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Yeah, it looked awesome. They called a there's a multiple
spears on the show that they call a running shoulder tackle.
So I don't know if there was like word to
not call spears that from the guys that don't through
spears spears or what it was, but run running shoulder tackle.
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
So ben Wa takes over with the souplex and tags
in Regal. Bubba hits the hook line and sinker on.
Regal hits a belly to back on ben Wah and
then fucking I swear to God, crosses Eddie into space
all the way over the ropes to the floor.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
It's a hip toss, right like, but all the way over. Yeah,
like I was stunned at how much air he fucking
got there, And then I thought it was cool that
Bubba and Jeff then do the poetry in motion together.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
I always love when guys that don't team like that
do each other's moves, especially a team that's this historied.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Yeah, they were mentioned, I like on college, Like I
don't know if I don't know if they've ever teamed
up together.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
Yeah, that's really cool. I think the word I was
looking for is storied, but history it works too.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
History. I mean that's you know, that's yours sounds better.
I like yours.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
Eddie takes Hearty to the corner and just starts unloading
on them. I mean he has.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
Hissed, beats the shit out of him, like ben Wall
also germaned Bubba almost on his head, So that was fun.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
Dude, Eddie's kicks in the corner. There's such a intensity
Eddie and Benoa, both of them, they just have like
the super intense lock in that they do, and like
it really looks like Eddie's giving it to him bad.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Yeah, when you're.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
Doing heat like this, it has to be intense or
I'm not fucking and buying it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
And no I'm zoning out, especially nowadays, I got adhd like,
if you're not kicking the dude's ass, I'm fucking whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
And Eddie flips the switch like when he gets angry
in the ring, or like he flips to like he's
getting in control for his control seg dude, he is
just intense. Yeah, it's awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
It helps that he like puts his whole body into
it too, because when he's stomping Jeff out, like his
veins are popping out of his fucking head, like he's
into it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
So Regal tags in and hits the jumping double knees,
such a Regal move.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
That's like a shut your mouth staple.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
Yeah, that's annoying as fuck. I don't know why. There's
some animations that movie I hate being hit by, and
that's one of them.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
I felt like that about. Uh it's that one and
the the weird choke slam that's in no mercy. It's
like a light grapple choke slam.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
With the back of the head.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
Yes, I fucking hate that one.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
Regal grabs the European title here. He goes to use
it on Jeff, but Bubba Ray stops him and hits
Regal with the belt instead. Sadly, Earl Hebner sees it
and says, get the fuck out of here, you stitch.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
You're DQ So Donuts almost distracted until he wasn't and
then he blatantly saw himitted with the title, which I
thought was funny.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
And then he de accuses him and throws him out.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
My favorite part about this is in the beginning of
the match, Regal is trying to wrestle. In the last
part of the match, Regal is only trying to cheat.
Only he's done wrestling. He's just chating.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Yeah, he found out that the boys are going to
beat him here soon and the only recourse is by
hitting you with the European Championship.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
So Bubba's been deced. Uh. Bubba goes to knock down
Eddie and Ben Wah on his way out of the match,
and Jeff HiT's a swanton bomb on Regal and pins them.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
That was awesome. Ye had quick elimination there because he
was fucked from the title shot.

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
So and that's his guy. So him eliminating the guy
he beat last week here and then leaving him to
the Sharks, Minoa and Guerrero. So Jeff does the split
leg pin on Eddie almost immediately here after some heat
and steals a pin. He eliminates Eddie Guerrero.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Yes, also in the crowd when this was going on,
I just saw I saw two dudes in the crowd
and one of them gave his boy a stunner, which
I mean, that's awesome. Yeah, that's like real shit. Did
he give him the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
Stunner and take his pants down the rooming around I
was looking at.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
I'm gonna read three that just some people know what
we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
So Eddie gets up immediately after being eliminated, and him
had been watch to start kicking Jeff's ass.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
I mean, they kick the shit off of him. Eddie's
not on the match anymore, and he's fucking murking this dude.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
I love JR here because he wants Eddie out of
this match so bad. Come on, ref, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Ref? He's not even in the match, he's yeah, I mean,
that's that's Jarard his best right when he's fucking pissed.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
He loves Babyfaces. It's hard to have somebody that puts
over Babyfaces as much as JR does. He's one of
the best ever at it. I don't know why or
what move Jeff hits here, but he does something. I
maybe it was a spinning heel kick, the one on
Eddie where Eddie powders afterwards. It was like an Irish

(01:16:20):
whip into something.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
So it's he he I legit wrote down Jeff Duckson
takes out Eddie. I don't. I didn't know what it
was either.

Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
I couldn't tell it was either a flying line or
a spinning yell kick. I don't. Yeah, maybe somebody does,
or maybe somebody can slow it down and check it out.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
The angle was fucked up, that's what it was. They
were zoomed in and then he took him out.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
So it's down to Ben Wah and Jeff Hardy here
and Jeff hits whisper in the wind and when he does,
a dude in the front row starts flexing crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
Yeah, Jeff doing whisper and the wind gives him full
meter so he's fired up.

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
Yes, it's just dope Eddie. He comes back into the match,
but Earl stops him by going to confront him and
tells him to fuck off on the ramp.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
Not only he just goes out to confront him. He's
shoving Eddie Guerrero physically. He's pushing him and saying get
the fuck out of here. But as this is going on,
Regal is now back here to cheat. Eddie is Jeff
Hardy with brass knucks.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
So ben Wah then locks in the cross face after
Jeff Hardy has been hit by the brass knuckles and
Jeff passes out. So Eddie comes back down and I said,
damn cheating again. I see Eddie comes down and he
grabs a table and ben Wan Eddie goes set it
up because they have a tables non title tag team

(01:17:45):
match with Bubba and Spike.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
They should put on a ladder.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
So ben Wan Eddie set it up. Bubba and Spike
then come back down here to make the.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
Save good dude, who are the tag champions?

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
Jenhole Cogan?

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
No, right, Well the SmackDown guys, Okay, So that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
Egenhole Cogan beat Billy and Chuck on July second, and
they lose them next week or I'm sorry this upcoming
weekend at Vengeance against Christian and Lance Storm.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
So that's where we're at with the titles, and we
only have the one right now. I can't then one
angle when the SmackDown titles, that's right, when they split them,
who wins the Raw ones?

Speaker 2 (01:18:35):
So Christian and Lanstorm go to.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Raw so they're the first champions.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
So they're the Raw Tag champions and then SmackDown gets
tag titles in October.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
Yeah, because they do the little tournament.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
Yes right right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
Coach is back here in front of mistery Man's office
speculating who could be the new general manager.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
So Coach says, there's been rumors as to who the
new GM might be, names like mc foley, who lives
close to this building. Also, Vince McMann has a brother
who lives in Texas named Rod McMahon. He's been mentioned.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
What dude's name is? Rod?

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
A deck quick Man? Johnson?

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
And then Paul Hayman walks up. Coach says, whoa hey,
what are you doing? And Hayman says, well, Vince wants
to see me, And Coach says, well, there's been speculation
that you could be the new general manager. And Hammon says, well,
we about to find out. And let's be honest, who
is more qualified to be a gem of Raw than
Paul Haman And Coach says well, if it is Paul Haman,
I'm gonna wait right here until Paul comes out to

(01:19:43):
confirm it. But we don't have to wait too long
there because a stage hand runs by coach and runs
into the office and says, excuse me, mister McMahon, what
the fuck is wrong with you? All right, calm down?
What is it? And she says, you told me to
interrupt you the second he arrived, and Vinn says, he,
I don't know why I said it like that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:03):
Gives him a real exaggerated step.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Back to and she says, yes, the new general manager
he's arrived, and Vince says, the new general manager's here, Well,
would you be so kind to bring him in? This
is gonna be an a monumentous occasion.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
Vince tells the stage hand to let the new general
manager in Ah come in, and in walks Shane McMahon.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
What the hell is that?

Speaker 1 (01:20:26):
Huge pot?

Speaker 2 (01:20:26):
By the way, Hey Rod, Yeah, dude, huge pot. I
mean Shane's always been over huh.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Yeah, well, I mean he he earned his cred.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
That's one of the craziest humans ever to live, right, Like,
he didn't have to do anything.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
Just wanted to do cool shit.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
He just wanted to be one of the boys, which
I fucking respect the ton, so uh yeah, Shane. Vince's
eyes go wide as Shane walks in and they go
face to face, and Vince.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
Has, what dall are you doing here? You're not my
new general manager. You're also not my brother Rod McMahon.
She says, no, I'm not. I'm here to stop you
for making the single biggest mistake in our family's history.
This goes back to your father and your grandfather. We
already know about them.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
And Vince says, spare me. Okay, you my son. You
tried to put me out of business. Yeah, you have
a family concern. I mean, that's that's for true. Give
this man, it's true. He did try to do that. Well,
Shane says, at least it was family trying to do it. No,
that's not a good argument. You try to kill this governy, well,
at least try to take it over. I guess I
don't know if you try to kill it, he says.

(01:21:27):
When we were battling for control of this company, at
least you knew who you were dealing with, your new
choice for general manager. And yes, I do know who
it is. He's a parasite. How does he know?

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
Can you tell us?

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Yeah? Did you just spoil it? Why are you waiting?
What are you waiting for? What a wait for you?
I'm glad we were on the same page. Shane says,
the first chance he gets, he's gonna screw you and
this company and our family over royally and Vince says, oh, well,
I appreciate your concern. I'm not gonna change my mind,

(01:21:59):
and Shane says, it's your decision one that affects you
and everybody else.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
So we go backstage. Tommy Dreamer walks into the locker
room and wait a minute, Holy ship, there's gold Dust.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
Gold Dust with wig on in the corner. I don't
know what he was doing, no match? What the fuck
does he have his gear on? Actually? I guess he
just dars. Oh yeah, you beat Lance Cade.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
So Tommy Dreamer walks in here and Rob Van Dama
is right there.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
Hey, Tommy, you work here. I saw Stone Cold earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
Rob. That was just incredible. Okay, I think he's just fine.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
So Tommy says, what do you what do you think
of this GM stuff? And Already says, I know huge news, right,
I don't know who it is, but I'm glad it's
not Paul Haman. He made my career.

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
Remember when Paulie made me walk out of the pay
per view and ask why I didn't have a match.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Remember when he fired Saboo?

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
I love Sabo? Whoa?

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
And he made some guy champion? Yeah that was just incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
No, No, I don't think he was that good.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
That kid.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
Rob His name is just incredible. Whose name.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
Sabo is a cool name? So Tommy says, yeah, me too.
Speaking of Hayman, howd A feel when hit him with
that van terminator last week?

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
Whoa?

Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
That is my move.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
With a van assassinating?

Speaker 2 (01:23:49):
So Dreamer hangs his back up and Stephen Richards walks
in Steven Richards, and Stephen Richards says, isn't at the
guardian of all things? He said to be Tommy Dreamer?
And Tommy says, what do you want? Stevie says he
wants to congratulate him never standing up to Paul Hyman
and Lesnar and defending all the East to you guys.
But deep downside he knows it was a load of crap.
He did it for himself. And since there's a new

(01:24:11):
GM tonight, why don't we make our match a little
more noticeable. You seemed to be a real handy with
a Singapore cane last week, so why don't we make
our match a Singapore cane match. They could just do that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
Well. I think they made the match only because they
wanted Stephen Richards to say this one liner.

Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
Oh okay, of course, he says, you whip out your
stick and I whip out mine, which is funny in
its own until.

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
Sounds like an offer too good to be true.

Speaker 2 (01:24:47):
Dude, Okay, I don't know if they wanted it to
go this way. But he walks away, and Dreamer and
Stevie genuinely laugh like that's a real laugh that they do.

Speaker 1 (01:24:56):
It absolutely is a real laugh. But they save it
and it's even funnier they do.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
So they they fucking bust out laughing, and Stevie looks
at Dreamers as well, and Drewer says, you got him, bro.
Stevie then throws a cane because he's holding two knes.
He throws one a Dreamer, who catches in the air,
and then Stevie winds back with another kN and fucking
hits Dreamer in the stomach with it and lays him
out and he takes Dreamers Kane away and says, I'll
show you. Oh yeah, that's his thing is if you

(01:25:25):
didn't know, I'll show you as this thing, you will
be thoroughly introduced it in this match.

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
So Stevie Richards and Tommy Dreamer a match that overachieved
in droves.

Speaker 2 (01:25:36):
Yeah, lord, like they went forward here.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
I mean the promo backstage before this had them corpsing
after gold Dust said that he would like them to
whip out their sticks. So in return, Stevie Richards and
Tommy Dreamer walk out and Tommy bleeds crazy. Dude. I
don't know if he meant to believe this much, but

(01:26:02):
it was unbelievable how good this shirt was. This is
one of I mean, this has gotta be one of
the better five minute matches that I've seen in a while.

Speaker 2 (01:26:11):
This is like one of the best WWF hardcore matches ever. Like,
it's got to be top five.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
Yeah, this is like a sleeper hit. I was surprised
at how good.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
This was me too. I was like, they're going for it, dude, Yeah,
this is awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
So Tommy Dreamer comes out here in a WWE psych
Ward shirt as he does ecdupduk. Steven Richards comes out
here to show you. And he comes out here and
he holds the canes up into an X for WX.

(01:26:45):
What's that stand for?

Speaker 2 (01:26:48):
Whatever you want? I'll show you.

Speaker 1 (01:26:51):
You'll see if you didn't know, that's his thing.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
He says that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:57):
So we start this one quick. Here Tommy dream he
hits him with the Singapore cane.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
Can you believe that, dude? Unbelievable Singapore cane match? Which
what is the Singapore cane match? Because you would think
it's Singapore canes are legal only, but I don't know
if that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
Was the case here.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Well, they're there, right, so's a lot of other stuff
I imagine know.

Speaker 1 (01:27:15):
There was a table earlier, right, But Stephen Richards is
gonna show you.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
You'll see, I like, you know what, You're right to
just enjoy the ride.

Speaker 1 (01:27:26):
So Tommy Dreamer jumps off the stairs and hits a
double ax Singapore cane here to step Richards.

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
All right, this almost killed the match for me.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
Come on, man, he's just getting innovative.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
I okay, listen, I because there's an East w chant
already in this match, and they're outside and Dreamer is
standing on the stairs and he looks here's the CCW
chant but he's riding for a new company. So he
looks out and yells w w E and jumps off
hit Stevie in the back with the cane. And I,

(01:28:03):
I mean, I was like, wow, this, I fucking I
fucking hate you.

Speaker 1 (01:28:11):
Well, I was to pay penance, to pay penance, he
gets a gusher.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
He makes up for it in droves, which I appreciate,
but I gotta say, like I was ready to rail
this match. I was fucking so fired. I was like, wow, oh,
I can't wait to make fun of this.

Speaker 1 (01:28:26):
So Tommy Dreamer grabs the stairs, but Stevie hits him
in the head with the Singapore cane.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
Well that's good because the stairs would have been illegal.

Speaker 1 (01:28:34):
No, they're fine, No that can't I'll see, you'll see.
So Tommy Dreamer is now bleeding fucking unbelievable here.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
Like I don't know there's I mean, is there a
chance that it was like a gusher? Like he just
got him good for real?

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
Maybe Tommy Dreamer had a point to Pree. You can't
shout WWE to the crowd and then not have a
good match, right Like if you if you screamed w
w lee at the crowd and then had a shitty match.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Die die, So Stevie brains them with his ship, and
then Stevie starts cutting a promo on the Singapore Cane
that he hit Dreamer with, which ends with I showed.

Speaker 1 (01:29:17):
Him, Yes he did.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
And then I don't know, I'm sure you must have
called this. Somebody in the crowd yells b w O,
b w O. Yes, hell yeah, guy to machine made
it to this show.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
He went forward in time. So Steven Richard J hits
the soup lexture Dreamer on the ramp. He'll show you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
Uh, this is where I see Dreamer is fucking gush
and blood. I mean they are not going easy on
these cane shots whatever, like whatsoever. I guess you can't,
like they're lacing each other with this ship.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
Well, these guys don't get matches, especially singles matches, and
they won't in the future either, so they have to
do something here, right, But they're on the they're on
the Flagship show.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
That's true. That's true. That's on the proof.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
Right, So like, yeah, they went out here and Tommy
Dreamer said, dude, I don't I'll fucking die and I
don't care, like it's all I got. So Yeah, Richard's
hits the suplex on the ramp. Dreamer is not really
really bleeding here, So Dreamer, this is actually very well
placed and worked out very well here. Richards is really
giving it to him, and Dreamer is like standing up

(01:30:33):
getting a second win, fighting through the shots, and the
crowd is like coming up with him.

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
It was it was awesome. He fucking he's bleeding a ton.
Stevie's lighting them up with these cane shots and Dreamer
gets up and says, come on you, son of a bitch,
and the crowd goes nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
Yeah, they thought that was awesome. So like, really well
done here. I think it works especially well in a
match that that is this short and has this much
blood in it. Like, very well placed here. I don't
think this works all the time, but very well placed here.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
Yeah, they figure it out.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
Dreamer hits a side Russian and a raven effect for
a two.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
Yeah, that's my finish.

Speaker 1 (01:31:11):
So Dreamer comes off the top looking for that double
axe he did earlier, but this time off the second
and Stevie. Stevie kicks him in mid air for it too.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
He really actually hits it, and it looked great.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
It looked fucking awesome. Yeah, I was like, wow, that's
sick as fuck.

Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
Fantastic finish here too. Richard's goes to hit Dreamer one
last time and Dreamer stands up, ats he's running at him,
and unloads the most ridiculous headshot.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
I mean it.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
Looked there should be like a GTA cut scene like
boo dude.

Speaker 2 (01:31:47):
Wait, yeah, like like Sandman on acid is not hitting
somebody as hard as Dreamer hits Stevie here with his
cane like he hits it's it's fucking disgusting. It's so sick.

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
Yeah, his head shot and falls on top of him
for the three and he wins the match. Tommy Dreams
has beaten Steven Richards on Raw.

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
Great match, dude, I.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
Mean yeah, this over delivered on every level. One of
the better five minute and undermatches that I can remember
really in my head right now. Period. Sure, super well done.
Everything made a ton of sense, and damn the last shot.
I love the I'm gonna kill you and then you
hit him with one thing and fall on top of him.

(01:32:32):
That is so good. Yeah, just I mean this had
to be lightning in a bottle. You could run this
match one hundred times in a row, and like, I
don't think it would ever be as good as this
one right here. Yeah, dude, So we go backstage. Booker
T is looking at his hand as Coach walks up
and says, what about the big show?

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
Dude, that's seriously what happens. It's not like Coach was
waiting to interview him. Booker T is back there looking
at his hand like going on, that's his idol he's
ging up for like you know, that's like where he
gets his power from his hand, and he's staring at it,
and Coach just happens to walk home and say, hey, Booker, Booker,
that is taking off from his hand and says.

Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
What that's the power of the five.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
Coach says, keeping in mind with you know, everybodys talking
about the new GM. You have to focus on your
match with a big show. The nWo is dead. But
and Booker says, Coach, when Shawn Michaels came back, he
put one right here, dog, right on my grill. The
nWo just stood there and celebrated boo yah. One month later,
nWo dead and buried half a style. Baby. You know

(01:33:41):
what I feel. I feel like celebrating. You feel like
celebrating with me? Dog, And Coach says, normally I wouldn't.
And Booker, I guess answering four. Coach instead says you
damn skippy hippie. You know what, why don't you give
me one of them? Coacher runeys. Coach says, well, Booker,
I don't think this is a time. Or Booker snatches

(01:34:03):
the mic from him that says all it's like that
hount Dog the Rock is the only one to mess
what announces around here. News flash Rocks on another program.
So make with that spinning Jack.

Speaker 1 (01:34:15):
I'm glad he brought that up.

Speaker 2 (01:34:17):
I know that's fucking real shit. Like everyone else is
cool with the Rock buzzl their balls. I mean, I
love Booker t this shit's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
So Coach sets up for the Coach of Rooney and
he's fucking ging up for it, shaking his hand in
his face, his head's bobbling around, and he does the
Coacher Rooney, which looks like shit.

Speaker 1 (01:34:33):
The crowd booze, dude, dad, they.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
Hate this fucking pig. And Booker looks at him and disbelieve,
and he calls him over and Jerry Laller on commentary says,
is coach caukasion. Booker says, what the hell was that
you show your black dog? And Lawler says, that's what
I wonder and Booker says, the fact that matters this

(01:34:56):
big show. I'm about to come out there and pull
and Alan Iverson on your plunk.

Speaker 1 (01:35:01):
Now, can you dig that?

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
Sucker? Fucking confused Booker face legendary gift, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Yeah, So someone walks up on the interview here after
Booker ends it with Coach, and Booker gives this lookoff
camera and the cameras zooming in and shit with him,
and it is. It is the gift you've all seen
if you look up Booker t on Discord Gifts, it's
probably one of the top two that you'll see, dude,

(01:35:35):
Legit number two and it's the famous gift. And I
couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe how many things were
in this episode that I was like, Oh, I know
where this is. I've seen this before.

Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
Yes, yeah, no, that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:35:47):
And yeah it's Eric Bischoff who walks off.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
Dude, which is like, how crazy is that that that's
how they fired this off. I wonder if it's like
they knew that, like hour two was about to hit
and they figured, fuck it, let's pop off Bischoff. Have
a commercial break, then everyone will have time to tune
in and see this angle.

Speaker 1 (01:36:07):
Yes, I think that's exactly what it was.

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
I mean, Bischoff walks in the frame and the crowd
goes like it takes a second for its register because
they haven't seen him in forever, you know what I mean. So,
like he comes on the screen, it's quiet for a
second and they go, oh shit, and JR. Says oh god.
And Bishoff extends his hand to Booker and says Booker,
so good to see you, my friend. And he walks

(01:36:29):
away and Booker stares him down and says, tell me,
I didn't just see that. Do you? Did you watch
this live?

Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
Do you remember this happened?

Speaker 1 (01:36:37):
I don't remember it live.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
Nah, I remember it live. And I remember the fucking
WWF chat fucking going crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
Oh yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
Yeah, the IRC chat was going nut. It's like this
was fucking gnarly. Yeah, sure, like and I was a
dirt sheet head and I don't even think I caught
that one, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:36:58):
Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
So like yeah, so then we go to commercial. After that,
Vince walks out on stage no music, gets on the
mic and says you, oh, you don't realize this, but
it takes a real son of a betch that gets
successful in this business. So from one son of a
betch to another a lot, this is crazy that that's
the introduction for fucking Eric Bischoff. It is son of
a bitch to another. Allow me to introduce you to
the new general manager raw. His name is Eric Bischoff,

(01:37:25):
and the version that I imagine a majority of people
have heard and seen because I think they only one
time do this and have edited to shit for years
to come. But Bischoff comes out to Back in Black
by ac DC here.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
Yeah that's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
Yeah, that's like nuts. I imagine they like must have
got the bill after that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:43):
Whoa yeah, sure fuck all that. Yeah, especially in two
thousand and two. But Eric Bischoff's theme song is awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:37:52):
Dude gets back Yeah, dude like like legendary theme. I
actually yeah know it might I like it more than
Back of Black. And that's a great fucking song.

Speaker 1 (01:38:04):
Bishoff walking out with that song and like slapping his
chest with his hands. Yes, how I remember him the most,
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
So Bischoff comes out and she said pat in his
chest Bischoff style, and him and Vince hug, big fucking hug.
And Jared says, I can't even believe to be I
can't even begin to tell our viewers what dish is
gonna mean. And Lawler says, I used to send the
same broadcast booth every week with Vince and he would
wish death upon her of bishop.

Speaker 1 (01:38:31):
Did I love how they shook hands here? Yeah, and
it looked like they had never shaken hands before. It
was their very first time. It could have been they
have never shaken hands with any human ever. Like Vince
goes in for the handshake, Bishoff comes down twelve to
six and then they kind of bring it back around
vertical style. I said, wow, what is happening?

Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
Yeah, they invented a new handshake, like Bischoff is doing
the thumbs up with his other hand while he's lost
in his hand shake too.

Speaker 1 (01:38:58):
Yeah. I think it's funny, But I think what they
wanted is they didn't want to turn away from the camera, right,
So they're trying to like get this handshaken with turning
to each other facing. Yeah, yeah, it's funny.

Speaker 2 (01:39:11):
Look at a comrade. Well, there's our new boss. Bischoff's
walking down the ring. You know, I got I got
twenty five years in this business and it comes down
to where Eric Bischoff is my new bosh. By god,
am I a lucky fat Oklahoma. That's funny at shit.
So Bischoff is on the mic in the ring, in

(01:39:31):
a ww WE ring, and he says, for those of
you that may not know me, my name is Eric Bischoff,
and I used to run WCW, not that watered down
version that invaded this company. I mean, that's that sucks everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:39:44):
My name is Eric Bischoff. I wasn't aware that we
just break k fave here all the time I saw
Vince do it earlier. I'm gonna rock a couple off
real quick. You guys, let me know when I should stop.

Speaker 2 (01:39:54):
He I mean, that's this whole thing is like He's
just this is like a shoot promo. Yeah, he said.
When I ran ww I became famous and I was
the only person to ever be able to take it
right to Vince McMahon. In fact, when Vince was out
here a couple of weeks ago talking about ruthless aggression.
Who do you think he was talking about? It was
just incredible. When Vince needed star power, I was ruthless.

(01:40:14):
I signed everybody ahead, Haul Coogan, Randy Savage, Kevin Nash,
Scot Haul, Roddy Piper. I signed Bobby Heenan and me
and Gene just for the hell of it because I could,
and Jared got Okay, those are real people, the people
five Fishoff says, I took this little family business, this
McMahon monopoly. I gave one big swift kick in the
crotch and the crowd is now chanting shut the fuck up. Well,

(01:40:39):
don't worry. He has like five more minutes of promo here.
He says, There's one thing I really wanted to do
when I ran WCW. One job I couldn't get done,
one piece of talent I couldn't sign away. And I'm
convinced that if I signed him, that's right that right now,
Nitro would be on the air, and Vince McMahon, my
new best friend, would be working for me. It's not
gonna be the nWo that signs Triple H. Well, guys,
I fuck, I yelled him. That would be me. So

(01:41:01):
he wants to sign Triple AH from SmackDown to come
over Raw, and that will begin the downfall of Raw
for the rest of you in the back. Some of
you had the chance to work with some mean for
the first time. You'll agree. One thing you'll agree on
is people generally like working for me. And that's not
about the money. The WE needs me. You people deserve me.
And there's one thing I want to promise. I am

(01:41:22):
here to put the E in WWE. And he blows
a kiss and then the Raw theme plays. I guess
the remix. Dude, they must have immediately realized, Wow, ACDC
is charging us a fucking arm and a legg fuck that.
So yeah, Bischoff is now here. He is officially the
Raw general manager. The nWo is dead. He wants to
sign Triple H. Things are looking up.

Speaker 1 (01:41:42):
And Sean Staysa is watching backstage.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
Dude, Okay, the roster is backstage watching same spot they
were in. Packed hows at the monitor and RVD is
talking to Sean Staisyac. You can see it, and I
can only imagine he says, Hey, you should go, you
should spoil a bunch of shit and get fired, oh Roberson.
And it goes over a little bit and Flair is

(01:42:07):
talking to Finley, and I imagine Flair is saying, why
are you bald? I mean, why the fucking I've never
seen Finley bald? He's not bald. When he comes through,
They're like, what the fuck? I mean crazy? Look are
you stone cold? Too?

Speaker 1 (01:42:31):
So we go backstage. Bradshaw is talking to Undertaker and
he says that Eric Bischoff can't be worse than that
canny dude.

Speaker 2 (01:42:38):
We come into the segment and the first word you
can like they're talking already, and the first word you
can hear Taker say is jag off. Bischoff walks up
and says Undertaker tying a meat man. I've been following
your career for so long. I probably fired you. You were,
weren't you mean? Mark Alie, You're the one guy I
was really hoping to come to WW. But I guess
loyalty and more to you than and if there's anything

(01:43:01):
you ever need, anything at all. And then Bradshaw moves
in the way and gets a Bischhap start Hi, Bradshaw, here,
Hardcourt had bring and BiH say, yeah, that's nice anything anyway, Undertaker,
anything you need law you call me, I'm there for you. Hey,
don't don't fuck with me. I got a reputation.

Speaker 1 (01:43:20):
Hey, I'm Bradshaw. I'm the hardcore champion. Oh that's cool.
I mean we had Norman Smiley as the HeartWare Championship
was way better than those.

Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
She was cool as fun.

Speaker 1 (01:43:29):
So now we have Trish Stratus versus Molly Holly for
the women's championship.

Speaker 2 (01:43:34):
Yes, Trish super over as always. Molly is of course
a heel here with the hair. And one thing I
noticed is they show a shot at Lawler and Jr.
Here and behind them is the green Lantern fan.

Speaker 1 (01:43:45):
Oh I didn't even notice that.

Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
That's cool fucking r h Legend the green Lantern fan.
I hope he was timing the matches.

Speaker 1 (01:43:51):
Yeah, I had to be. Trish does a kip up
arm drag here that looks nice cool. Molly always has
good heat here, she just dolls Trish. Trish is the
Frankensteiner out of the corner and starts unloading some forearms.
I can't Hey, I can't see I can't see anything
right now.

Speaker 2 (01:44:09):
You meant a monitor, dude, So I don't know what happened,
but Lawler complains about his monitor for the rest of
the night. It feels like. He says, I can't I
can't see Trish. Move over so I can see Trish,
and Jara says, don't put your hand on my leg. Look,
she's into purple tights.

Speaker 1 (01:44:25):
So Trish hits the chick kick, but Molly kicks out
it too.

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
Can fix my monitor, could you please?

Speaker 1 (01:44:33):
It's a championship mixed to shut up for three ships?

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
So much monitor? You idiots?

Speaker 1 (01:44:38):
Hey just drops the accent, Hey, chill out.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
I'll get real fucking back. And then somebody, dude, at
one point, I guess somebody comes in to fix it
and Lawler, like middle of the match, completely calls him out.
Where you're going?

Speaker 1 (01:44:56):
So Trish, Trish has the chick kick. Here Molly kicks
out it too.

Speaker 2 (01:45:01):
It must be nice.

Speaker 1 (01:45:02):
Molly slabs Trish and it hits a back body drop.
Molly goes to the razzle dazzle, but Trish reverses it
into a victory roll out of the corner for two.

Speaker 2 (01:45:10):
That was awesome. I thought it was the finish.

Speaker 1 (01:45:12):
Yeah, that was awesome, really well done. Here Molly hits
a backbreaker for a two, Trish goes for statisfaction, but
Molly drops her with a belly to back and then
uses the ropes and a pin for the three.

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
Oh what the fuck?

Speaker 1 (01:45:24):
Solid TV match here? I actually enjoyed this. I was cool.

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
I always enjoy Molly's work, especially in Trish's You know,
Trish's over as fock. She's about to take over the
goddamn world here. Nothing to complained about here. This is
all solid stuff except for Joe Lower being mad about
his uh fucking monitor. So at one point Jr. Says, well,
Trish looking splendid here in her purple attire night, Molly
looking like a domino. No, I can't see, so I

(01:45:52):
don't super monitor.

Speaker 1 (01:45:54):
Which somebody get this guy a monitor.

Speaker 2 (01:45:58):
Or someone? Goodness, guy of him? Happy meal.

Speaker 1 (01:46:01):
So we go backstage. Rick Flair is walking and Eric
Bischoff comes up to him.

Speaker 2 (01:46:07):
Says Flair, I bet you were a surprised as hell
when you found out I was gonna be the new GM,
and Claire says, surprise, this isn't the word I was
thinking of, But if you don't mind, I got a
big match coming up. Flair walks away and Becheff stares
him down. Well I'm a GM now, I'll how about
I just cancel that match in you're fired at the
Bitch and you're wrestling Bradshaw. That'd be fucking like Big

(01:46:30):
Man event and Bischoff just has grudges. Emily ah Flair,
You're wrestling in a fucking six on one handicap match
against the new n W O bringing patro moreles this
and bring the guy in. It looks like stone.

Speaker 1 (01:46:50):
Listen.

Speaker 2 (01:46:54):
Yeah, that's all dicks. Back at black Dad, He's a
back black.

Speaker 1 (01:47:02):
Bitch over Ellis. Yes, would have been hot raw, I think, dude,
I mean, sh it would have been awesome. Hell yeah,
So you have Booker T versus Big Show up next.
This is a hot feud. The last match they had
was a count out.

Speaker 2 (01:47:27):
You got.

Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
So Big Show comes down here and hot starts on Booker.

Speaker 2 (01:47:34):
Big Show the deepest V singlet ever.

Speaker 1 (01:47:39):
Yeah. I mean his hot start was him coming to
the apron, stepping over the top rope and then running
at Booker T.

Speaker 2 (01:47:46):
And then missing his attack.

Speaker 1 (01:47:48):
I don't know if I've seen a over the top
rope hot star before, but I I enjoyed that.

Speaker 2 (01:47:52):
I appreciate I mean, I guess it would have taken
him an unbelieva amount of time to go underneath the
bottom rope.

Speaker 1 (01:47:56):
It would have been awesome if he slid in like
edge hold the matt.

Speaker 2 (01:48:01):
See, I was thinking the oppo sudden he tes going
what I was thinking? He said, I thought he was
like him getting stuck under the bottom rope with ruin. Yeah,
fucking fat right.

Speaker 1 (01:48:16):
So Big Show hot starts on Booker. Booker fights back,
but Big Show gets him in the corner with his
size and chops him down.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
While this is going on, Jay Or on commentary is
firing off updates about the nWo members after it has died. Well,
you know the nWo is. No nWo members are here.
You know, Sean gets the night off, nashes out for
a torn quad for at least six months, and Xbox
on a leave of absence. And I mean we had
to fucking fire Scott hole. He was fishing me out.

Speaker 1 (01:48:41):
And who the hell knows where Pedro Morale is is?

Speaker 2 (01:48:45):
He no showed?

Speaker 1 (01:48:46):
Oh Cochine fucking shmackdown Tag team Champions right now?

Speaker 2 (01:48:49):
The fuck are we sucked to do the tangle?

Speaker 1 (01:48:53):
So Big Show beals Booker, which is nuts to see
because Booker is.

Speaker 2 (01:48:58):
Huge yes, I mean he is, and they say it
on a commentary like Booker is a big son of
a bitch, but Big Show is obviously bigger.

Speaker 1 (01:49:06):
So Booker unloads on Big Show, but Big Show hits
a sidewalk slam for a two. Booker gets Big Show
down with the Harlem sidekick and then Cactus lines him
over the top rope.

Speaker 2 (01:49:17):
Wow, I was I'm so glad you wrote it like that.
I legit wrote all caps. Bookers fired the fuck up
clothesline to show over the top cactus style.

Speaker 1 (01:49:25):
Dude, Yeah that was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:49:26):
I mean they really went I don't know if he
meant to. Yeah, it was dope, though he said he
had to me. You know, it was sweet.

Speaker 1 (01:49:32):
So Big Show runs his knee into the steps by accident,
and Booker grabs a chair to hit Big Show but
misses and hits the post.

Speaker 2 (01:49:40):
I mean he doesn't he doesn't care about the fucking match.
He cares about killing the Big Show because the kicked
him out of the group that he loved the nWo because.

Speaker 1 (01:49:46):
There was a count out. So Big Show throws the
chair in but Booker grabs it. Booker goes to use it,
but Big Show straight up punches it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:56):
Holy shit, Like, what a crazy sound that made?

Speaker 1 (01:50:00):
Yeah, I mean he punched as hard as he could.

Speaker 2 (01:50:02):
That was awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:50:03):
Then Show lines them and Booker Rakishi bumps. Big Show
then throws the ref out of the ring home hits
Booker twice with the chair.

Speaker 2 (01:50:12):
Then the bell rings DQ and Booker sorry, Big Show
looks around, surprised by this. He cannot believe he got
dq' de here.

Speaker 1 (01:50:22):
Nick Patrick crawled over to the timekeeper and said, ring it.

Speaker 2 (01:50:27):
Ring the bell, Come on Q, any one of them?
Match sucked.

Speaker 1 (01:50:31):
Big Show then choke slams Booker t through the announce stable.

Speaker 2 (01:50:35):
Dude, They're on the outside and Booker is uh. He's
trying to fight back, but Big Show goozles them, and
Big Show has him goozled. He turns to the side,
look at then ounstable. He looks at JayR and says,
better move your barbecue sauce and pigs Booker up in
the jokes the table. No, not on my monitor. I'm fun.
I've had enough. I'm absolutely had a fucking up.

Speaker 1 (01:50:57):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:50:58):
He had now no modelors and his Barbie saw Us
is fucking just everywhere, I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:51:03):
So we go backstage Brock Lesner is back here curling
a truss. This is awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:51:08):
This, I mean awesome visual, but not as awesome as
before I knew how light trustes were.

Speaker 1 (01:51:17):
I mean, that looks like the heaviest thing I've ever seen.
I mean, to be fair, it probably is kind of heavy, but.

Speaker 2 (01:51:22):
I mean that one is probably gnarly. You're right, that's true.
So yeah, he's fucking curling this gigantic trust piece. And
Hayman says, they can say, they say everything can happen
in WWE. Eric Bischoff, You're gonna be the internal champion
of Vengeance. You're gonna be the undefeated champion at SummerSlam.
I couldn't have manipulated us into a better negotiating position
than this. And Brock says, that's what I pay you for, Paul,

(01:51:44):
And he turns it aside and just throws this gigantic
trust piece like into the wild, and I can only
imagine it hit three stage hands and they all fell
over like bowling ball bins.

Speaker 1 (01:51:56):
So Jr. And Lawler are sitting here ringside with the
table broke. It sucks, and they paid tribute to Jimmy Miranda,
who has passed away here recently.

Speaker 2 (01:52:05):
Yeah, he was the head of arena merchandise sales. I
don't know how old he was, but like they I
think he was forty. That's pretty fucking cool that they
did this. Yeah, and like I thought this was very nice,
Like they did like they had an on screen graphic
and they talked about how cool he was and everyone
loved him and it was it was a nice little
touching thing there. I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:52:22):
Yeah, me too. So yeah, last week on Raw, the
straw that broke the Camel's back. Some say it was
Kevin Nash getting injured. Some say it was Bradshaw and
Tris Stratus versus Christopher Nowinsky and Jackie gata Man.

Speaker 2 (01:52:38):
I mean, like I think, like it's regardless one of
the worst matches ever, right, I.

Speaker 1 (01:52:44):
Mean, if you look the match up, the only thing
you will see is people saying this has gotta be
one of the worst matches of all time. I'm not
gonna believe it's one of the worst matches of all
time until I see it with my eyes. So Christopher
now Winsky versus Bradshaw, Billy Kidman and Tory Wilson are
going to be at oz Fest two thousand and two.

(01:53:06):
In Boston.

Speaker 2 (01:53:07):
Dude, I saw that. What the fuck are they going
to do there?

Speaker 1 (01:53:10):
Chill out, hang out, do the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
It's like, go on stage with mud Vein, eat a bat, dude.
Mudven's awesome, dude, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:53:17):
Mud Vein is awesome. I've been listening to them a
lot recently.

Speaker 2 (01:53:21):
Dude, I mean like they're fucking great. Like they're a
sweet new metal band.

Speaker 1 (01:53:24):
Yeah, we saw we saw a mud Vain sign on
Watch This during Big Show versus Aky Bono, and I said, wow,
I've been listened to Mudvain in a while. So I've
been listening to him like the past week.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
He's been sending me songs.

Speaker 1 (01:53:43):
So Bradshaw has the custom Texas Hardcore title.

Speaker 2 (01:53:46):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:53:47):
Yeah, and it comes down here with the cow bell
of course. Nowinsky grabs a mic and says, yeah, I
don't want to do a hardcore match.

Speaker 2 (01:53:56):
Hey, I I don't like this situation.

Speaker 1 (01:54:00):
Shouldn't want to be a wrestler.

Speaker 2 (01:54:02):
Yeah, Can I like quit? Like is it too late
to quit? Can I do that? Yep? But I mean
he pretty much says, listen, I don't want a hardcore match.
These people don't want a hardcore match, and they and
they crowd like, you know, he says, these people don't
want to see a Harvard graduate get pummeled with trash
cans and street signs, and they cheer, and Chris says, yeah,
they're cheering. Yeah, Chris, we don't want to see that.

(01:54:23):
I thought that was awesome. It was good. He says,
I have a proposition for you, so simple that you
can even understand that. I'll allow you to beat me.
I'll lay down for the one, two, three, that simple.
You retain your title. I don't get hurt. What do
you say?

Speaker 1 (01:54:35):
So he lays down the bell rings, Bradshaw goes to
grab him. Newinsky goes for the roll up.

Speaker 2 (01:54:43):
I'll mean that's classic. Is classic.

Speaker 1 (01:54:45):
I mean, this guy's a beast. What a heel? He
gets a two, So Bradshaw spear tackles.

Speaker 2 (01:54:50):
Then he like goes right through him.

Speaker 1 (01:54:55):
So Bradshaw spear tackles Nowinsky and the second he does,
the hardcore Championship graphic comes up at the same time,
so it sounds like he tackled him through the ring
because there's like the crunch of the graphic.

Speaker 2 (01:55:09):
Yeah, it was cool.

Speaker 1 (01:55:11):
So Bradshaw boots him, sends him to the outside, grabs
the steps and then hits them with the steps.

Speaker 2 (01:55:17):
Like, after he does that, he grabs a chair and
I'm like, oh my god, Like this is gonna be bad.

Speaker 1 (01:55:24):
He's gonna brain him.

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
Yeah, he's like he's dead.

Speaker 1 (01:55:27):
So in retaliation, Kris Newinsky jumps the guardrail and runs
away Bradshaw.

Speaker 2 (01:55:37):
That's the smartest thing he could have done. I mean,
I'm sure it was planned, but in my brain, like
he sees Bradshaw with a chair. Fuck that, I'm out
of here.

Speaker 1 (01:55:46):
Kris Newinsky is the realist character on this show.

Speaker 2 (01:55:49):
He is He doesn't want to get hurt. He doesn't
really want to be a wrestler, just payswell.

Speaker 1 (01:55:53):
So he jumps the guardrail and Bradshaw chases him down.
He hits him with a garbage can him into the back.
He hits Nowinsky with a cookie sheet and then decapitates him.

Speaker 2 (01:56:07):
Dude, Okay, he does decapitating Where Why the fuck was
there a cookie sheet there? Like it was on a forklift.

Speaker 1 (01:56:13):
This is the WWF. Why would there not be a sheet?

Speaker 2 (01:56:16):
I guess that's true. He does to capitate him. I
legit didn't know this thing like this spot existed outside
of video games.

Speaker 1 (01:56:23):
I mean this was one of the more brutal things
I've ever seen. He legit slams a case, the lid
of a case, a Roadie box, yes, as hard as
he can, on the top of his fucking neck.

Speaker 2 (01:56:39):
Like Nowinsky was leaning inside of it, and he slams
this thing down legit video game style. But like it
was disgusting. It was brutal.

Speaker 1 (01:56:49):
I mean, like the way that he is, yeah, the
way that he's like hanging on to the box afterwards,
it looks like he legit just killed guy.

Speaker 2 (01:57:01):
Yeah, like gnarly, gnarly. I mean, I guess they were like, oh,
you gotta give him something.

Speaker 1 (01:57:06):
So what naturally would happen after a man gets decapitated, Well,
he would be attacked by Johnny the Bull Stambollio.

Speaker 2 (01:57:17):
Of course. Yeah, Johnny the Bull runs in and brains
Bradshaw with a two by four, like breaks it over.

Speaker 1 (01:57:24):
His head, I mean, swings it as hard as he
possibly can. Here.

Speaker 2 (01:57:29):
I bet the boys all day we're all taking turns
coming up to Johnny the Bull and telling him, you
gotta give it to Bradshaw, Like if you don't do it,
like you're fucking he'll kill you. Yeah, Like you have
to hit him as hard as you possibly can. And
he believed it.

Speaker 1 (01:57:45):
And he did it. He brought his own ref and
he pinned Bradshaw to win the hardcore title.

Speaker 2 (01:57:52):
Yes, and JR.

Speaker 1 (01:57:54):
Oh my god, Johnny the bull Stamboli. He just he
won the title. And Jerry Lawlers says, who.

Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
D j R? Definitely the first time he says it, says,
gosh that Johnny de Bullshrambolish. You know it's Johnny bull Stampbollie.
We got a new Harker champion. His response to all
this saying, who is just repeating his name? I was
trying to bull Stampolli Tramboli.

Speaker 1 (01:58:23):
So we go backstage. Big Show comes into Bischoff's office
and hugs him. He's very happy.

Speaker 2 (01:58:29):
He's very sweaty as well, which Bichoff sells and Bechell says, hey, Giant,
what's going on? Hey? Big Show says, what a surprise?
We what do you do? How? Why? When? And Bit says,
I don't know what I'm here, and she says, listen, man,
Kevin's hurt and everything happened with Scott. We don't got
to talk about it. Everything's going on with the nWo

(01:58:50):
nWo is not here. I thought I was screwed and
a my own, But now Miracle you're here. I know
it's your first night, but I got a favor to ask.
I got this huge pain in my ass and Bischoff
looks at his ass and says, well, that's a pretty
huge pain. God, you're so fat. Jesus the show says,
you know my pain is it's booker T. First time

(01:59:11):
it was a count out. Oh my god, Now a DQ,
Well that was I mean, I imagine both of these were
your fucking fault.

Speaker 1 (01:59:18):
Yeah, it seems like it.

Speaker 2 (01:59:20):
Well, that's why he's thinking of vengeance. Booker T versus
a big show, no count outs, no DQ's, and that
way he can sell it for good. And Bichaf says,
you just put him through a table. What make you
think I'll make it this Sunday and just says, well,
if he can, I want to be the last I want,
wanting to put the nail in his coffin. Well, Vampiro
doesn't work here yet.

Speaker 1 (01:59:35):
So and Bischoff has, uh, well, if you had a
count out and a DQ sounds like this feud sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:59:43):
Beecheof says, you know what we got history. We're kind
of like blood, we'll do it. I'll talk to Vince
and show's very happy. Thank you so much. Whoa booker?
T and Bischoff wipes sweat off of himself because there's
fucking just so much sweat. I mean, this guy is
just iormous. What a fat fat man? Uh. He wipes
himself off, and then he picks up the cover of
the Triple H DVD that's on a side table and

(02:00:04):
he starts. I guess it was already in the DVD player.
He turns it on and he watches Triple H's Madison
Square Garden Return, which I don't think was too far
before this, or maybe it was, I don't remember. I
guess it was long enough that they put it on
a DVD. But we reviewed that episode we did, which
she returned, so you can go check that out as well.

Speaker 1 (02:00:21):
And he was watching the retro sync. Okay, fuck, now,
these guys are funny. We gotta get them in the nWo.

Speaker 2 (02:00:31):
I like, call him, call him now, they've won what
three years in a row Company of the Year.

Speaker 1 (02:00:43):
Now these guys can book.

Speaker 2 (02:00:45):
That would be fucking awesome. That would be awesome. And
that's you know, I guess that luck in a time.

Speaker 1 (02:00:52):
Machine would have just Channa b w o at it
a day, maybe got a big ass sailich.

Speaker 2 (02:01:01):
We're at oz Fest. Actually fuck this show?

Speaker 1 (02:01:03):
Yeah, we actually see the graphic for oz Fest and
just go there. Instead, we're looking at each other with
v cut subway sandwiches. Were we supposed to do something? Ah? Fuck? Anyways,
move's playing on the main.

Speaker 2 (02:01:13):
Stage, deadlock and Thomas she'd go back and stopping watching her.

Speaker 1 (02:01:19):
Fuck that, So we go backstage. Johnny the Bullstram Bully.
You know, fucking motherfucker, that's motherfucking Johnny the Bull.

Speaker 2 (02:01:35):
He drops the.

Speaker 1 (02:01:37):
How cool is this guy he's got that?

Speaker 2 (02:01:40):
Look at his change?

Speaker 1 (02:01:42):
This is the new triple h Johnny de bull Stram,
give that man an inmight to the right now.

Speaker 2 (02:02:04):
If Bishop would have said that in this promo, that
would have been the best fucking thing ever.

Speaker 1 (02:02:08):
Wow, Bischoff coming to w w E and instantly like
getting everyone's roles incorrect would be so fucking funny.

Speaker 2 (02:02:18):
He doesn't watch, so he doesn't. Oh, Johnny Strimp Bully.

Speaker 1 (02:02:22):
Johnny the bulls tramp Bull, we're playing you with just incredible.
We got our new stone cold and Triple AH, Power Trip.

Speaker 2 (02:02:30):
Wow, power Trips. All that's even better because Johnny simpley
like works for him before he knows this guy.

Speaker 1 (02:02:40):
That could be anybody. That's true.

Speaker 2 (02:02:42):
I was triple H.

Speaker 1 (02:02:43):
So Bischoff says, hey, man, how you doing.

Speaker 2 (02:02:49):
Johnny the bullseeers saying I whack Branshaw with that two boy,
forget about it, and I want to thank you for
letting computer on wrong. Bish says, I didn't do that, Shick.

Speaker 1 (02:02:59):
I ain't done that. But why's deadline the whole time
I been here?

Speaker 2 (02:03:02):
Yeah, he's just the boys backing down. You see this,
Come over here, boy says I'll give the same opportunity
to any soup, any young super an. He's young superstar crazy.
You're on raw, it says Johnny. Welcome the Raw. Then
out of nowhere, no clips Bradshaw who runs in House

(02:03:22):
of Fire and it kills Johnny Stramboli with a clothesline
for Bell and pins him and wins the hardcore title back.

Speaker 1 (02:03:30):
This is legendary. The Bradshaw and no clip on Johnny
stamp Boley is like one of the best Bradshaw moments
in w w F history. I mean, he dude winds
it up and gives it to him.

Speaker 2 (02:03:43):
That like, imagine being Johnny Stamboli having to do this
promo and off screen you see Bradshaw just fucking revving
up to kill you.

Speaker 1 (02:03:53):
I'd like to imagine he ran like all the way
to the parking lot.

Speaker 2 (02:03:58):
He got a bunch of an he got it turn
off the meto just happen to get there at the
right time and blow Johnny's Dimpley's head off. Wow, that'd
be fuck. That's okay. I like that better. So he
fucking kills him with this thing, wins ard Goo title.
He looks down at Johnny strum Bowlie and says, walking

(02:04:18):
a wrong you punk ass. He holds it tight up
to Bischof safe and says, as Bradshaw Hardcore Champion.

Speaker 1 (02:04:28):
So backstage, Brock Lesner is here with Hayman. Hayman's hyping
him up for his match tonight. As Taker comes into
the scene and goes face to face.

Speaker 2 (02:04:37):
With Brock, Yeah, he says, uh, six days from coming
down on College Champion and SummerSlam, you come the own
Dispute Champion. Taker walks up behind Brock because Hayman's been
obviously talking shit all night, and and then Haymon, of course,
trying to be a snipe like a conniving bastard kids.
Petunia says, I want take an Undertaker on balf of
my client. It's an honor and brocks his paw and
uh and he says, after you take her, and Paper

(02:04:57):
says no, no, I insists after you, and watch out.
Bradshaw's running around. He's I mean, he's got unbelievable like
fucking come take your head off. Run.

Speaker 1 (02:05:11):
I like to think that Bradshaw just runs around the
arena just looking for people that are standing there waiting
to get closeline.

Speaker 2 (02:05:17):
Dude, you know when you fucking go to the backstage
area and shut your mouth that you can run the corridor. Yes,
just do that, Bradshaw.

Speaker 1 (02:05:24):
Dude. Imagine if that was online and you just see
Bradshaw coming around the corner. Oh fuck. So now it
was time for the featured bout of the evening. Yes,
Undertaker and brock lesnar versus Rick Flair and Rob Van Dam.

Speaker 2 (02:05:40):
Main event match here. Uh Brock, as we mentioned already,
one King of the Ring. He has a shot against
RVDA for the intercomal title at the pay per view
last Monday on Raw RVDY was chasing Sewn Michael's up
the ramp because Sewn Michaels is I guess fucking with them.
NW is probably fucking with them. That's dead now, But
he was set up because brock Lessler comes out and
closed lines RVD on the state Agent fives them on

(02:06:00):
the stage. I was last week. Also, by the way,
James WB Vengeance brought to you Subway.

Speaker 1 (02:06:07):
Get those v cuts Sandwich.

Speaker 2 (02:06:11):
We've watched an unbelieva amount of ross and smackdowns and
shows in general where there's a tag man event with
top guys and it's always like a all right, we
can plus tend this because if there's usually nothing going on,
this match is like great, this is a great match.

Speaker 1 (02:06:27):
It is is actually really good. I enjoyed it myself.

Speaker 2 (02:06:30):
Like the work they do here is all super solid.
The story they tell here is great. Flair is the
get heat on guy for rvd's hot tag and Flair
is taking everything.

Speaker 1 (02:06:41):
Yeah, Flair looks great, all his hopes are fantastic, the
crowd's buying all of them. Sticks to his character. Everyone
sticks to their character. Rick Flair waits on the ramp
for the more over Rob Van damn crazy. That's nuts, man,
what a moment in time.

Speaker 2 (02:06:59):
I know, like again, you had him, you had him
right there.

Speaker 1 (02:07:03):
Right there. I mean all you had to do just
win the elimination chamber.

Speaker 2 (02:07:08):
Just maybe keep Hunter on SmackDown. Yeah, but I don't know,
maybe SmackDown couldn't have been the smack.

Speaker 1 (02:07:16):
Get him off SmackDown. Now, get him off SmackDown. Now
we have Johnny the Bullstramboli.

Speaker 2 (02:07:27):
Do they do?

Speaker 1 (02:07:28):
Get him?

Speaker 2 (02:07:28):
They do any fucking mother f and bombs RAI.

Speaker 1 (02:07:33):
Was one of the best big card acts and smack
Down history. No shakes, his ass, comes out, goes to
the ramp, dances with the hat pirate bumps dude. Wow, yeah,
that's nuts so RVD. Yeah, one of the most over
guys on the show. Very awesome to see and it
made him match a whole bunch better. Here Flair and
Taker start off.

Speaker 2 (02:07:55):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:07:55):
Taker goes to take Flair to the corner for old school,
but Flair bites his arm and the chops him down.
Just good work, man, Yeah, just awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:08:04):
Bites his arm and Taker goes, ah, yeah that heard
did it? Taker selling big for all of Flair's chops
and shit even like made them even better too.

Speaker 1 (02:08:12):
Yeah, it did. RVD hits a cross body on Taker
for a two, and now he's in huge RVD chants
here and he's in the ring with Undertaker and brock Lesner.
Huge RVD chance.

Speaker 2 (02:08:24):
Yeah even more than like Flair.

Speaker 1 (02:08:26):
He's getting pops a bunch of foam fingers in the crowd.

Speaker 2 (02:08:28):
Was is this guy in the front row with the
fucking both the double foam fingers doing the dawn RVD kicks?

Speaker 1 (02:08:36):
Take her down? He tags in Flair, who locks in
the figure four.

Speaker 2 (02:08:40):
WHOA.

Speaker 1 (02:08:41):
I couldn't believe that was done so early, but I
guess with the way the match was structure, they decided
to go ahead and get that out here.

Speaker 2 (02:08:47):
But yeah, because doesn't really get much back until like
the back end when he's firing off shit. But I
thought that was awesome, especially because they do the gimmick
where Taker goes down his shoulders down the count two
and he does the Undertaker sit up and sit up goozling.

Speaker 1 (02:09:02):
Yeah, yeah, that feels like into the match stretch spot. Yes,
but super regardless, Flair low blows Taker as the ref
is looking up at Taker because the because Undertaker is
so tall that the ref has to look up and
then fucking low blows them and punches him down. That
ship was so funny.

Speaker 2 (02:09:22):
He's tak HER's on his knees and Flare's piecing them up.

Speaker 1 (02:09:26):
So Flair hits the roAP and Taker goozles them and
choke slands them for a two that RVD has to
break up. See this is all good because like Flair's
taking all these fucking shortcuts and he's biting them and
he's low blowing them, He's punching them down. But then
when Taker finally gets him, he's never kicking out. RVD
is always breaking it up, right, Yes, So just like

(02:09:47):
I said, super good work here. Lesner comes in and
hits some corner spears on Flair, and Flair is selling
it like he just got like shot in the mid section.

Speaker 2 (02:09:56):
Yeah he's I mean, they're killing them here all.

Speaker 1 (02:10:00):
Also Lesner is cheesing these corner spears. Okay, that's his
whole damn move set. At this point, they do look gnarly.
They probably saw that him do it once and said
usually keep them coming all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:10:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:10:13):
So Lesner hits two backbreakers on Flair. Flair rolls to
the apron and Taker hits a leg drop on him,
Like I was, awesome, dude, Wow, what the fuck? This
is good?

Speaker 2 (02:10:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:10:24):
Wow, this is so natural.

Speaker 2 (02:10:26):
I know, like the crowd even boot him because, like,
you know, they want to fuck with Taker, but he's
fucking with Flair and the ref was distracted so he
didn't get to see Taker hit the leg drop, and
that's Taker's move.

Speaker 1 (02:10:35):
So Taker throws Flair back in from the outside and
Lesner goes for the pin, but it's a two uh.
Flair tries to fight back, but Undertaker's got them soup bones.

Speaker 2 (02:10:45):
I mean Flaire's chops. Like I said, Taker's selling them
like fucking death. But you know, Taker's take her and
he's punching the shit out of him. There was one
here that happens where Flair sends take her in the
ropes and then throws a chop that take her, which
I was like, he throws it high too, Yeah he does,
and then like hits the Taker hits the diving Glariat

(02:11:06):
was just like, Okay, that's.

Speaker 1 (02:11:06):
Dude, I mean, this is awesome, So take her line.
Flair rolls over towards the ropes. Taker misses the elbow drop.
Flare rolls over under the bottom rope to the apron
stands up and then I pokes Undertaker and then runs
over to the top rope to try to hit that
cross body. If I could just hit this crossbody, I

(02:11:27):
can win.

Speaker 2 (02:11:28):
It's coming and the crowd's there.

Speaker 1 (02:11:29):
For it, and then Taker cuts him off and Taker
hits a superplex for it too. That RVD has to
break up. All this shit is gonna beat Flair, like
all of it's beating him.

Speaker 2 (02:11:39):
I was like, Okay, he's taking Deadly Driver like he
you know, Taker's just throwing them off.

Speaker 1 (02:11:42):
Yeah. Sure.

Speaker 2 (02:11:43):
Taker then goes to the top and superplexes Flair. I said, wow,
like unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (02:11:50):
So Lesner comes in and continues the heat on Flair.
It's a great power slam. I mean, he just gets
him up there, dude.

Speaker 2 (02:11:57):
He does. He fucking nails him, and then fucking Brock
rushes Flair in the corner. Flair moves, Brock takes the
post Flair back supplex to Brock.

Speaker 1 (02:12:08):
Dude, and Brock was going way back for him.

Speaker 2 (02:12:12):
I know, he was gone, Like I mean, I was like, wow,
flairbags suplex to Brock. Lesler is a crazy visual, Like
I don't even know Flair even knew how to do it.
It seems so odd.

Speaker 1 (02:12:23):
Dude. He hits it, goes for the pen, Lesner launches
him off.

Speaker 2 (02:12:26):
Of him over the ref. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:12:31):
Lesner tags Taker, Flare tags RVD RVD. Yeah, I mean
RVD has been waiting to get in this match for
a minute. RVD hits a spinning heel kick on Taker,
Shotgun drop kicks Lesner off, monkey flips. Taker hits rolling
Thunder for a two, but Lesner stops him. RVD then
hits the sid kick off the top on Brock, a

(02:12:53):
split legging moon Salt, but Taker breaks out with the
leg drop.

Speaker 2 (02:12:57):
Dude, Taker taking a monkey flip is just crazy in
its own I think like he was.

Speaker 1 (02:13:04):
He was down with r VD said this ship's cool.

Speaker 2 (02:13:07):
He was like, get your shit, uf bro, like goddamn.

Speaker 1 (02:13:12):
I don't think Lesner was the legal man.

Speaker 2 (02:13:14):
Here either, but all right, maybe not.

Speaker 1 (02:13:17):
I think JR. Says that is not the legal man.

Speaker 2 (02:13:20):
I can't see anyone.

Speaker 1 (02:13:22):
So Taker goes for the last ride, but Flair lines
him out of the ring. F five's Rick Flair, but
RVD super kicks him and the crowd goes nuts.

Speaker 2 (02:13:35):
Because they know, yes, they know what's common.

Speaker 1 (02:13:38):
Yeah, RVD goes over to the corner, he jumps up
for the five star, hits sit flush but Taker is
the legal man. So Taker comes in and he hits
the last ride on r v D and gets the win.

Speaker 2 (02:13:56):
I mean, tremendous work here, fantastic, lastic, what a great
TV main event. Ye, this hits all cylinders. Everyone gets
over all their shit in. Brock looks a monster. Arvidy
is the fucking guy Taker still, you know, I mean,
he's the champ, so he's getting his shit in and
Flair Flair took so much heat. He's like, you know,

(02:14:16):
the old vent and he's getting beat down and everyone
wants to see him persevere, but also tag out to RVD,
who's cool.

Speaker 1 (02:14:22):
Shit. Yeah, I mean, just great stuff here. I enjoyed it.
Very simple but very good. Earl. Earl fucking it up
and counting when he wasn't a legal man was funny.
But I guess they had to to make the fish stretch.
So Taker holds up the title here, but Brock lesnar
assaults him from behind.

Speaker 2 (02:14:41):
No, Brock jumps him because of course that was the
plan all along, and he hits the f five on Taker,
which looks nuts because Taker is gigantic.

Speaker 1 (02:14:48):
Yeah, he spins with it too.

Speaker 2 (02:14:50):
He does, and even in the sailing commentary, holy fuck,
that was crazy as hell. Brock picks up the underspeated title.
He stares at it, and he drapes it over takers
back a little little sign there for things to come.
That's not over yet. It's because Bischoff. We go backstage.
Bischoff is in his office still and Bischoff says, nicely done,

(02:15:10):
I guess to himself, or he's watching Deadline.

Speaker 1 (02:15:13):
Nicely done. Boys enjoyed it this week?

Speaker 2 (02:15:16):
Good episode. Let me I'm gonna call my friends tell
him about it. So he gets on his phone. He
dials a number that he has written down on a
piece of paper, and he says, Hello.

SmackDown see you. Then he hangs up and he laughs,
