Speaker 1 (07:18):
All. Right now it is time to get into WWF's
Saturday Night's Main Event. November two, nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
That is the year that's and I didn't realize, how
you know, around the same time as the last one
we watched. This was I think this is coming off
the heels of the last Saturday Night's Main event that
aired with the Uncle Elmer wedding. Oh yeah, some fallout
from that here. But before we get into this episode
of Saturday Nights Main Event, we have just a little
bit of observers before you here today from The Observer

(07:49):
October nineteenth, nineteen eighty five. In New Japan News, Meltzer says,
we start this week with one of the strangest matches
in wrestling history, the Antonio Andoki versus Massa Sito match
on the empty island of gonru Jima on October fourth.
This is New Japan's take on the Funk lawl or
Empty Arena match, and legend has it that the island
is where samurai warriors would fight to the death. They

(08:11):
had a ring set up and two tenths for the competitors,
and the only other people present were reporters and the
camera crew. It was supposed to start at sunrise and
Tyto came out twice and Anoki was nowhere to be seen.
At four pm, Saito came out one more time and
Anoke jumped out of the jungle to ambush him and
start the match. The official report is that Anok won
after two hours, five minutes and fourteen seconds when one

(08:35):
of the color commentary guys stopped the fight when Syto
was put out with a sleeper. About thirty minutes of
the match aired the next night, and apparently the actual
length was something around forty five minutes total and mostly
rest holds. This is fucking insane sounding. I've never heard
of this that you said.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
There was thirty minutes of footage they and.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
So I was looking into it just to see because
I was like, oh, maybe this is something we could watch,
and then I was like, oh, this is a two
hour match, and I guess they did air most of it,
and like I found it on Reddit eleven years ago,
somebody posted it in twelve parts, but they're all gone.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
That's all going, man.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, I don't know if we'll be ever watching this match,
or maybe I'll sit down and watch it myself alone,
unrecorded and not tell about anybody about it.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's the best way to watch it.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Just anything tv ASA. He spent one hundred and thirty
five thousand dollars for production costs on the jungle match
between Aenoki and Zieto. How much included one hundred and
thirty five thousand US dollars. Nice costs included flying all
the reporters and equipment to the island by helicopter. That's
one reason they're not feeling great about the rating, which

(09:43):
I believe did not good because people just didn't want
to sit there and watch rest holds and them bleeding.
I guess that didn't do well. See, that's what people
want now, right. They're clamoring for the blood and the
jungle restholds.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Dude. I mean, if you really think about it, that's
maybe one of the most carny things ever. I don't
know if anyone could do that nowadays, you think anyone
could convince a TV network to spend one hundred and
thirty five thousand dollars to go fil Fight in the Woods. No,
that just happens on fucking Instagram reels.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
From The Observer, October twenty sixth, nineteen eighty five. Eddie
Gilbert will be meeting with Vince McMahon this coming week.
They'll be representing himself, Terry Taylor, Missy Hyatt, and Sting.
No secret that Sting is one of the wrestler's WWF
most wants to have under them their employee Sting coming
to WWF in nineteen eighty five would I don't know
how that would have been for Stig. From The Observer,

(10:37):
November second, nineteen eighty five. This one's gonna hurt you, James.
WWF is suing Tom Zank for one hundred thousand dollars
for breach of contract. The Zman, the Zman. He's getting sued.
He left, he left the FED, he's gone, and they're
suing him because of it. One hundred grand.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Huh yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I mean WF could have taken one hundred grand and
did a bad match in a jungle instead, but.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
That would have been just a little short sadly.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Last couple things here from The Observer, November ninth, nineteen
eighty five. With business down lately, WWF seems to be
gearing up for some few changes. I know we love
those changes. They're gonna do roughly eight angles for the
top matches on any given live show and two live
shows per night. They're also going to do more old
school promotion angles at live shows to build the rematches
at the next show. They've also apparently acknowledged the work

(11:26):
rate issues and believe some of the blame of the
attendance drops are due to that. They talked to the
wrestlers about this at the last tappings on October twenty six.
We'll see how things shake out the next few weeks.
So you think you think Vince was talking to the
boys about the work great or he sent Jesse Ventora
to do it.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
No, I think Vince McMahon walked down cousin Mudpie and
asked him what the fuck are you doing? What are
you doing? House is down?

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:53):
What do you think you got that?

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Like?

Speaker 7 (11:55):
You got a guy like that and you're like, what
your work rate sucks?

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Like? What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Book?

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Before?

Speaker 2 (12:00):
What do I do? Oh you gotta learna fucking hof dude.

Speaker 7 (12:05):
I like how Also, they're like, yeah, it's like we're
just losing money. Let's just run two shows a night,
Like there's a good.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Live shows a night with eight angles.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh fuck, that's how to make more money.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Last thing here, most importantly in WWF news, a fan
rushed One Man Gang in Rochester, New York, October twenty seventh.
His name is Joseph Daquisto, and he tried to take
gang down with a double leg. They wound up rolling
around on the match for a moment before fifteen security
guards dragged him away and he was fined fifty dollars
for disturbing the piece. It's the guy who eventually becomes Roadblock,

(12:43):
so he attacked the One Man Gang. Here. The guy
apparently wanted to be a pro wrestler, but WWF turned
him down, and then he debuts two years later as
the Roadblock.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
I mean, what, that's the craziest story ever. What the fuck?
That's a six seven roadblood So really, Red Blog is
one of the biggest stars of our generation. He started
by attacking the One Man Gang.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Trying to pick the One Man Gang's as as a fan.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
He turned the s into a work he did.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
And he and he got signed to like the ninth
and it was one of the.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
More legendary characters hit Night.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
He's one of the biggest legend stars is business.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Him and z Man were probably doing clinics on Saturday
Night and said, we need that work right back here.
Who is that guy? He's the guy that attacked the
One Man Gang fuck.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
And you're like, hey, word to the wise. You do
this and you're getting your ass kicked and that's it. Well,
that's it for observing. Now let's talk about Saturday Night's
Man event for November second, nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
All right, so we start this s n M e
am with the cold open. Here, Jean and Bobby Heenan
are here dressed up for Halloween.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yes, oh my god. And it's so spooky, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
James, I thought it was Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, you thought it was Easter. You're fucking something's fucked
up in your brain.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
I mean, Gene is dressed up as the Pumpkin Rapper
from Power Rangers.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Which would have been way cooler. So yeah, we're backstage
here and Bobby Heenon is dressed I believe it The
joke is that he looks like a weasel, but he's
actually a raccoon.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
I thought he was Davy Crockett.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's also what they kept saying. I didn't understand that
at all.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
He's the brain.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Bobby Heenon is bobbing for Pumpkins and me and Jane says, Bobby,
Bobby Heenon, what in the world are you doing? Bobby says,
what am I doing? I'm I'm practicing for the punkin
Dunk contest and Jean says, what what? What are you wearing?
Is that Davy crockettor is in an early weasel skin?
And Bobby says, weasel skin? This happens to be Raccoon,
the finest raccoon. With or without this hat, I'm still

(14:56):
the best. And Gene says, well, you're gonna have to
be at your best. You know, your men, King Kong,
Me and Big John Stutt are gonna have to be
at their best when they meet Hault Cogan and Andre
the Giant in that All Time dream tag team. Bout
and Gena is pitching this tag match and Bobby Heenan
is still bobbing for Pumpkins. Never heard of such a thing.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
In a container full of shit. What is this.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Like?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
I've never seen this. I've never heard of pumpkin dunkin.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
No bobbin for apples, right, that's what I yeah, that's right,
which is usually in a you know, a tank of
just water. This is Bobby bobbin for pumpkins and ship.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
It would have been funny if it was just for
heenan and then later on it's just a normal water pumpkins.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Bobby said, it has two pumpkins in his hands here,
and he says, let me explain to you something even
you and your small little mind's gonna understand. Here's Hal Cogan,
he's got one pumpkin. Here's Andre the Giant. They got another,
and he smashes the pumpkins together. And Billy Corgan had
an idea that day. So Hulk Cogan is backstage now
and Hogan says, yeah, you can just forget about that weasel.
Bobby even says, everyone knows that Andre the Giant and

(16:07):
how Bundy and Stud broke the rules and why they
did it. Well, tonight's gonna be a fair fight, dude.
I want to make sure of that. And I can't
just wait to see Andre the giant mop up the
ring with those two, and Andre walks in and he
pats Hogan on the chest and he said, Rob Garthorpe,
I don't know what the fuck he said here. The
caption says, let's get some drinks. I swear that's not
what he says.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
No, I don't think so I don't know what he
says though.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
See I thought he said, let's go do it, like,
let's go do it. Nothing of this. Let's go do it.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah right, that's what I thought too. But the caption said, all.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Right, this is a crazy fucking match. I couldn't believe
this wasn't the main event. Big John Studdy and King
Kong Bundy versus Andre the Giant Hulk Hogan is nuts.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
I mean this is These are some big stars they
have on this show.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Absolutely yeah, I mean this was viewed by a ton
of people.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
TV was just different in the day nineteen eighty five.
There's four fucking channels. You're watching the local movies, so
you're watching Big John Stunn.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Then Roddy Piper's backstage with Jesse the goddamn body ventory
he's back and Rodny five he's not even dressed up
that's what they say all night. Hey, what the fuck
are you wearing? This is just what I wear, McMahon.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
I wore last time we were on in BC.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
McMahon, Well, Piper is dressed as super Roddy, which is
of course a shout out to Beatle Juice, and Jesse says, well,
super Roddy, you got Uncle Almer in the Hillbillies really steamed,
and I mean steamed by the way you interrupted their wedding.
What are you gonna do with those guys? These idiots
there's gonna be on your pit tonight and Piper's O

(17:43):
what a better place to make fools on them in
front of national television. So me and Jean's now backstage
with Terry Funk and Jimmy Hart, and Jean says that,
you know, Roddy, Piper's just too much well with me,
the two newcomers of Saturay Night's main event. If I
could interrupt your tobacco chewing, Terry Funk, I like to
talk to you, and of course you're manager Mouth of
the South, Jimmy Hart, then it's gonna be a showcase
match for you with a junkyard Dog. It could lead

(18:05):
to a title shot. And against all Coogan and Terry
funkn Funk says Main Jane. It's just a matter of
time for that heavyweight belt is around my waist, but
that can wait tonight. I'm here to house train the
Junkyard Dog and me and Jean says Jimmy or critics
say there's no place in wrestling for this man's branding
iron and Jimmy says that, man, I don't Dar's on,
but Terry will I think he's gonna somebody wants to say.

(18:27):
And Terry Funk then spits just a whole wat of
tobacco into the camera, which is just fucking completely disgusting.
It looks like the same stuff that Bobby Heenan was
bobbing in earlier.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Oh it does.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Wow, Yeah, you're right, brigit save substance.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
I like Terry Funk's run here on Saturday Nights made
of Meat too.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
He's like a wild We've watched a few.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Of them by this point, and uh yeah, but I'm
always really happy to see him. So Vince McMahon introduces
us to Hershey pa, mmm, the Candy Capital, and we
see a bunch of people in the crowd who dressed
up for the evening.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
I mean the first one they show legit scared the
absolute shit out of me. And it wasn't even meant
to be scary. I don't think Vince is talking about
the tag team match later with Hogan and Andre And then
they cut to a dude in the crowd who has
the biggest hulk Hogan. It's not a mask, right, I mean,
I guess it is a mask. He has a gigantic
hul cogin head on. He's dressed as Hogan, and it

(19:23):
just I mean, it's the scariest fucking thing I've ever
looked at.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
It scary.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Where did he get that?

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Do you think he made it?

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Nineteen eighty five? He's got the big Hogan mask.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Someone should maybe like contact the police. How good he
was able to fucking do that? Like this guy should
be on a list. Shit's crazy. Then, of course we
also are gonna get Tito Santana defending the Interconal title
against the macho man Randy Savage, and we see some
more people in the crowd, a couple of dudes dressed
as big fucking gorillas. Just scary looking dude.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Okay, so I watched this, Uh the beginning part here
on a VHS rip like quality. That's really bad. And
it didn't look like two dudes dressed as gorillas. They
looked like like fucking the Tango Warriors from Power Rangers
like that. I was like, what the fuck is this?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
The ten Warriors were scariest ship though. That is what
burns cell like, Dude, that's pretty good. We'll also have
a kung Fo challenge mister Fuji, I wrote, mister Fungi,
Mister Fuji square off against Ricky Steamboats and Vince says,
and then a trigger Treat adventure courtesy of Roddy Piper.

(20:35):
This is due in the crowd as Roddy Piper. And
then we see the cone Heads. Dude, what I mean
that's pretty good. We also see a scary goddamn monkey
alien with flashing eyes who just really likes the w
w F because he has a w w F had
on them. I mean, even when you're evil, you get

(20:56):
the entertained by the w w F. So we're gonna
go backstage now, means Gena saying with Terry Funk, and
we're gonna go Vinn says, let's go back by way
of videotape, which is a dang it, see what happened
with Terry Funk with an innocent ring attendant. So we
go to the mid Hudson Civic Center and Funk is

(21:18):
handing off his you know, his his entrance attire, his
entrance gear to a ringside attendant and he hands it
to him and he looks back at him, and for
some reason, he is enraged. So he grabs him by
the shirt and starts literally beating the absolute shit out
of him. He drags him into the ring, stomps him out.
He's so mad at this guy that he throws the
guy that he was scheduled to face out of the

(21:39):
ring and he goes back to kick in this other
guy's ass and it did. It did. Then we go back.
Me and Jean is with Terry Funk and Jimmy, and
Jean says, gentlemen, I need an answer. How can you
justify such dastardly behavior Jimmy Harton. Jimmy says, well, you
know exactly what that was, baby, That was television tricks.
That was special effects. Try to make me and Terry

(22:00):
looked bad. They got super Ground anymore. That sucks, man.
The WWF is evil. Terry says, television tricks or not.
That's nothing good. Better, well, we're gonna do that piece

(22:21):
of dog meat that Junkyard Dog. Come on, Jimmy got
some Brandon do do? And Jean says, all right, well,
thank you. Speaking of Brandon, let's take a look a
last time Terry Funk met the Junkyard Dog and they
show a from Madison Square Garden in the summer of
nineteen eighty five. I guess Jyd had beat Funk in

(22:42):
this match, and then after the match, Funk beat him
to shit with a branding iron. Just didn't brand lot,
he just he just assaulted him with the physical branding iron,
which is pretty good. Mean, Jean's here with the Junkyard Dog,
and Jean says, Jyd, what happened to MSG? What what
effect will that match have on your about tonight?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Then?

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Do you want revenge or do you want to win
this one? In super simple? Jyd says, you know what, Gene,
they say, every dog has his day. That day was
Terry Funk's day, and tonight's mine.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
I always like junk Yard Dog's responses to stuff.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Okay, I and this is something I was I wanted
to actually talk about again. Another blind spot for me
is a junkyard dog. But you were telling me, James
that he was super fucking over.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Before this main guy in Mid South. Yeah, yeah, which
I spent I spent a little bit of time watching
Mid South TV. Him and Ted Dibiassi and Michael Hayes
were doing a lot of work down there.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
And is he just the same like Sam Cadence. I mean,
was he doing promos there too? I'm assuming he was.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah. So the biggest angle I think he was a
part of was the one with Michael Hayes where the
free Birds came in and they blinded him.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Oh okay, I've seen the clip of that.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, right, and then I think in the angle too,
which is crazy, he has like a real life kid
and then says that he didn't get see the birth
of his kid because of Michael Hayes. He gets off
a yeah, ton of tickets off that one.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, no, Jyd, I actually love his promo style. Yeah, yeah,
me too, Trumbo style. He just talks right.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah, he always says the right thing to say though.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
So we go to the ring, it's Terry Funk with
Jimmy Hart taking on that junk yard.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, so Terry Funk starts off here talking shit to
the crowd, and Jy d pulls them in over the ropes.
Great reaction here.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Dude, I mean huge pop and Jesse Ventura is immediately
just dogging him, no pun intended. Oh look, he starts
with a complete cheap shot. McMahon. I can't believe the
referee let him do that. Now he's going after pour
one hundred and twenty pounds.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Jimmy Hart, Well, I think he's more than one hundred
and twenty pounds.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Hey, fuck you McMahon, would you weigh him? Why don't
you weigh the crack cocaine you got in the back? McMahon,
Why don't.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
You weigh yours?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
That's enough.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
So Terry Funk goes to grab him over the ropes
and ends up getting crist on the top rope and
Jyd does the smack down, verses all rope bounce animation
to him until he runs out of stamina.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Why the fuck was there Funk trying to get out
of the ring.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
I don't know. Shit was awesome though, So Terry Funk
goes over to Jimmy Hart and he gets his wits
about him and he gets back in the ring and
we start this thing the right.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Way, dude, Jyd, I swear. There's a shot of them
circling and Jyd looks at him and says, come on, motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Terry Funk hits a body slam here but misses an
elbow drop. This allows Junkyard Dog to hit a body
slam and then he goes to body slam Terry Funk
out of the ring and Funk rolls around with Jimmy
Hart and he goes to mount him with punches until
he realizes, oh shit, this is Jimmy Hart.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
I swore Jyd was gonna milk Scoop slamming him to
the floor and then like Funk would break the eyes
or something. No, Jyd takes some of the ropes and
Scoop slams him to the floor.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
What the fuck just dumps him. Yeah it was awesome, dude.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, him rolling around with fucking Jimmy Hart was very funny.
I mean, Funk is unbelievable. I mean it's yeah really again,
I mean, you know, I'm sure people are tired of
hearing me saying it at this point because we've watched
you know, a decent amouthies now, but it's just so
fucking weird to like watch stuff at the pace that
this goes now and how much stuff worked that I know,
like pops me now, like it just doesn't happen now.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
So Junkyard Dog throws Funk into the corner and body
slams him again and does the all fours head butts.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Oh shit, he took that from eugen and then he
pisses on them. That was in the game.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
That was yeah, the leg Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
It didn't need to include that part, like that wasn't
vital to the move, but I liked that there.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Was Eugene's version that was his theatrics, So yeah, fair enough.
So we get massive Junkyard Dog chance here. Jimmy Hart
tries to get involved. The Junkyard Dog chases after him.
Funk then follows behind him, but Jyd notices, turns around
and back body drops Funk on the floor.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
On the floor like Funk is going pill it a
post for this dude.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, I love that the story is like any time
that Junkyard Dog has a chance to be up here,
he is one up. Like Terry. Funk has to keep
trying to find ways to like catch this guy off guard,
but he just can't like this guy.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Just always a shitty way. It's not like he's trying
to out wrestle him or anything. He's always trying to
get like a fucking behind the back attack.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Funk actually catches Junkyard Dog with a closed fist punch
here and then unloads a punch combo for a two.
Funk hits the whip sleeper hole piper style. Yes, and
the crowd is just willing Junkyard Dog to stay awake
with chance. Here he goes and grabs the rope, breaks
the hold, and Funk just swings for the fences here.

(27:55):
This allows Junkyard Dog to get his own sleeper hold on.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
And I mean again big pop for this roddy Piper
is breaking pencils in the back steal my shed's that's
he's actually on the show too much that I.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Jimmy Hart gets on the apron and Junkyard Dog grabs
him and throws him in. Junkyard Dog then drags him
by his feet, but Terry Funk grabs Jimmy Hart's megaphone
and his Junkyard Dog in the back with it. The
Junkyard Dog and pick up the.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Win son of a bitch dude when Jyd brings Jimmy
Hart in the hard way. Jimmy Hart lands, I mean,
he lands right on his head, like there's no he
doesn't try to flip or he doesn't have the opportunity to.
Jyd pulls him in onto his forehead and it was
gnarly big reaction too, is dope, fantastic reaction. Funk nail
and Jyd with the megaphone. What a fucking piece of shit.

(28:48):
I mean, I want it. I needed Jyd to win,
but he didn't get it done because of these bastards.
And Jimmy Hart gets in the ring and he's got
the branding iron. Oh shit, And that's when I realized
what was about that?

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, we saw the parts from this on another episode
we watch.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yes, uh so funk fucking he's here with the megaphon
or sorry, with the branding iron. He goes to brand
them and Jyd catches it and JD's fighting back and
he hits him with the iron and Funk goes to
the floor and Jyd wy like gets grabs Jimmy Hart.
Funk tries to grab Jimmy's arms to drag him out
of the ring. Well, Jyd has his legs. They tug

(29:26):
a war until Jyd pulls Jimmy Hart's pants off. Red
Bities got him, Jyd headbuds Funk off the apron, and
now the junkyard dog has the iron and he kicks
Jimmy Hart down and he brands his ass. He fucking
brands them.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
On the infinitely hot branding iron.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
That is. I mean, it's always jeat do and it
always I love this, by the way, I mean, Terry
Funk is never not trying to seem like a maniac.
The way he helps Jimmy Hard out of the ring
is he grabs him by the hair and drags him
to the floor.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
From like the second he makes his entrance is always
one on the cell's the entire time.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
He's a psychopath.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Man. Yeah, he's nuts, Jimmy Hard out there with his
little panties.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah. So Jimmy Hard stands up and there's white stains
all over his underwear.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
You never took coke up your ass, that's where he's
you know, McMahon, there's your coke. McMahon, No, I think
that's yours. Okay, fair enough.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
So Vince says, well, it's time for the first round
of our Halloween party. Competition will be three rounds. The
pumpkin Duncan chocolate syrup, the chocolate pie eating contest, and
the pumpkin fess.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Is that what it was? It was chocolate syrup.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
It was chocolate syrup.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
How legit?

Speaker 4 (31:00):
No, yeah, it's chucolates, sup.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
I legit. For some reason thought it was some sort
of like yeah, I don't know shit.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah you think. I mean, it is funny that you
say it, But like you would think they would make
it something that makes it harder, right, not like something delicious.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, I'd be in there telling he.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Fuck the pumpkins. I'm just getting mouthfuls at Chocolate's hero.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
So now it's time for the gigantic pie eating contest.

Speaker 2 (31:30):

A lot of wrestlers are dressed up in their Halloween costumes.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yes, we're in the party room they call it, by
the way, that's officially the name of what we're in here,

(32:27):
like that. I thought you'd be a piece of shit,
Iron Chic, not wearing your Satan outfit this evening as Zoro.
Here is intercl Champion Tito Santana, Hercules hal Cogan, and
Captain Lou is perhaps one of your Roman forebearers. Captain
Lou said, yeah, yeah, Julius Caesar from my grand antsis.
There's all right, right, I mean Captain Lou. I we've

(32:56):
watched a decent amount of Captain Lou. Thus far no
idea what this guy's supposed to be. Not a fucking clue.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
He's the captain Captain of what.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
That settles it. Jean says, all right, now, gentlemen's down
to King Kong Bunny and Captain Lou Albano. Are we
to believe that there's already been pie eating taking place
and this is the finals of it? Or is it
just these two? Are the dudes?

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Just two badass motherfuckers?

Speaker 2 (33:24):
You know they found the two hungriest men possible.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Abraham Lincoln and Julius Caesar.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Well, me and Jean has to stop watching. Whoever eats
the most pies within ninety seconds will win the pieing contest.
And Bundy's taking it serious so much so that he
takes the.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Hat off, brought the pies in here.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
It can only be one man. So Bundy takes the
hat off, and I mean it's top hat off. It's
because it's serious. You can't like consume peace all the time.
I know, I know, it's wow. Well, you know he
had a store more roommate to get more hair removed
so he can sort more pies.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
I love King Kong Bundy. This guy is nuts.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
It can only be a wrestler.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Like we get to see a performance later from him
tonight that I gotta say, Man, oh my god, super
impressed King Kong Bundy.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah, I didn't know that was I don't know he
had that side of them in him, is what I
was looking at there. So they the contest begins, and
I mean, they're going to town on these pies.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
And I don't know how the pies.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
I don't know how much is even getting into their mouths,
but they are grabbing handfuls of pie and rubbing it
all over the vicinity of their mouth, just scooping.

Speaker 7 (34:39):
It in with a big shovel on their fists.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
This is so gross. They are just shoveling this ship
in their mouths all over the place. Jeans count down.
We get down to the countdown for ten. We get
back and forth shots of just their gross, gross mouths.
The winner, Captain Lou Albano. He out ate King Kong
Bunny in Lou a real eater, James.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
One of the best. How am I in it? I
think they're talking about in it, big man.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
So Bundy is pissed. Bundy's pissed, and he stands up
and he's fucking fuming. Albato's the winner. Nobody beats me
in nothing, And he grabs a pie and smashes it
in Loo's face, which really doesn't do much because he
has pie all over his face.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah, you're the.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Probably looked crazy on a CRT TV.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Holy shit, I mean you started watching it originally close
to that qualities.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Yeah, but I had that ship extended up. I mean
you're watching this on a nine inch kitchen TV. Like,
what the fuck am I looking?

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah? Tuning in halfway through to see this. You turn
on w F halfway after the news and you see this.

Speaker 7 (35:55):
No, me and my kids in eighty five are laughing
our asses. Oh this is pie and he just hit
him with another pie? This is is that Abraham Lincoln?

Speaker 2 (36:06):
He's bald.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Wait, that's the captain.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Of what the president of the w w F A
right understandable. So Jean says, captain, what are you thinking?
Little Bono says getting out of that piece of pie?
Jean and then the heels and faces are now arguing
because that's what the split is. By the way, I
didn't mention the split is. You know, babies and heels
here for the Halloween competition.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Well, now it's time for Piper's pit. We have Uncle
elmer cousin or whatever you want. Yeah, and he'll Billy Jim. Okay,
is this dude's name not cousin Luke.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
It's Junior.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Well, the episode we watched before was after this episode,
so maybe they changed it to Luke by that point. Okay,
I thought his name was cousin Mudpie. I'm still convinced because.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
I looked it up. I think Cousin Junior and cousin
Luke are too different people. Cousin, I think so. And
they brought in cousin Luke.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Cousin Luke Junior.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
No, dude, Like, there's a fucking conspiracy here that nobody
seems to be questioning for some reason. They have Vince
and Jesse talked for a second, and Hillblly's are in
the ring. Yet they're all sitting down with their feet out,
playing with their toes, and Vince says, you know, they're
here to confront Piper after his behavior where he interrupted
the wedding at the last stron night's main event, and uh,
you know, as well as what Jesse said, and let's
take a look. And then they show it and the

(37:29):
line that they were mad about is Jesse on commentary
when Uncle Elmer was kissing his wife, he said, it
looks like two carp in the Mississippi river going after
the same piece of corn.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
I remember that line.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
It was over the top, That's what did it. You
can't fucking say that about the Hillbillies and their wife.
So piper'spit, which.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
By the way, yes, I'd be talking about my fucking wife.
Hey fuck you, hey, fuck you.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
So Piper's here, Bob Barton's here, and the Hillbillies are here,
and Piper says, wow, well, howdy their neighbor. How you
doing there, Uncle Elmer? How's a how are you missus? Elmer?
And he looks at cousin junior and they're not happy
about that. It's all I was sorry. Everything's folloween with you, folks.
I'm having a good time sitting there, and you just
got to marry tell me something that everyone in America

(38:16):
has been dying to know. What went on at the
wedding night? And Uncle Elmer and the best way he
can say it, I'm not I can't do an Uncle
Elmer sadly, but he says, none of your business. And
Piper says, oh, come on, you were in there, lovely wife.
I mean I thought about planning your family at all.
And Elmer says that's none of your business too, and
Piper stops and he thinks for a second. He says, oh,

(38:37):
those are real good answers. You know, I watched the wedding.
I watched the wedding him and his bride, and he
took the veil off, and there was all Uncle Elmer there.
And Elmer stands up and he says, hey, you shut
your mouth, and he'll belly. Jim stands up, and the
Hillbillies are fucking getting hot.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
That's where shit changes. He'll stands up, and ship change
in this building.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
So hilly Jim stands. Somebody points the Piper and he says,
let me ask you something, and and Piper's old, I
didn't I didn't say that out of that. And Jim says,
why do you have to say to the things you
said about Uncle Elmer and his wedding. They're standing up
for family here, man, This is like serious ship. I
said that ship. And Jesse Vature is immediately sweating, and
Uncle Elmer is standing up now too, and Jim says, well,

(39:23):
who said it then? And Piper said, oh, well, Jesse Ventora, Jesse, you.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Dived your boy out.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Good the fuck, big.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Man, What the hell is this?

Speaker 2 (39:35):
You got a lot of snitches around here. McMahon, you
better watch your back.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
One's about to be in a tag match here in
a minute.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Fucking and Piper said, why I didn't say it, but
I do agree with the man, and fucking hiblliy Jim says, well,
let me tell you one thing. If Jesse Ventura is
such a man, why doesn't he come down and say
it to Uncle Elmer face to face. Jesse's hot. They
show a shot at commentary, which is in a crazy spot.
It's an small elevated platform.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
I think, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
It's not a lot of you know, it can only
it can't even be bigger than a size of a
picnic table, like, it's very small. And Jesse takes his
headset off. He's pissed. He takes his jacket off, the heads
of the ring. He gets in the ring, and Unclehimer says,
I want to say something, Jesse Vitoria, coming down here
and tell me what you said about my wife and
myself in the ring. I mean, uncle human my wife.

(40:29):
And Jesse says, wait a minute, you're telling me I'm
afraid to come out here and say something face to face.
I called it just the way I've seen it. I
talked just the way I saw it, and I ain't
backing down on nothing. And Piper says, wow, oh you
guys looking at you. We can't have talked. You guys
are looking for a fight, and Hillbilly Jim says, maybe
we do, mister Piper. Now bob Orton is behind them.

(40:50):
He gets on his hands and knees. I mean this
is classic classic bullying. Can't be here, yes, this is
I mean, like, there's nothing meaner than doing this. I think,
can't beat on this hands and he's behind Uh, I
believe Cousin Junior, Cousin Junior, Luke Pie. Yes, Piper says,

(41:16):
we don't want to do that. He calls you guys
any trouble. We know how intelligent you guys are, and
oh yo too, and he shoves Cousin Junior and he
falls over bob Orton and everyone's laughing at him. Fucking
Hillbilly Jim turns around and decks bob Orton, sends him
to the floor. Piper ducks a punch and powders and
Jesse Ventura is left with the Hillbillies and Hillbilly Jim

(41:36):
and Uncle Elmer. They back him down, but Jesse just
barely able to get out of the ring, and they
have Jesse Vandura's hat and Elmer throws it down. I
thought what they were gonna do was commenced to jiggle
in on the hat, get the fucking music, and they
all take turns stomping around the train. That would have
been fantastic, but they stomp it out. Uh, and he'll belle.

(41:57):
Jim goes over and this is where I realize it's
not cousin Luke, because he tobally. Jim goes over to
him and says, you are right, Junior Junior, And I
was like, oh, okay, is that maybe just a nickname?
And then Elmer says Junior, and I said, okay, is
this a whole different fucking guy. And that's when I
looked it up, so I guess it is. And Elmer
tells him to stomp the hat and he does.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Well, Cousin is his first name?

Speaker 2 (42:18):
Oh right, They just all have different last names, but
the related.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
So as Beesvale Billy.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
I you know what, I'm learning more and more every show.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Well, now it's time for the Great Pumpkin Dunk.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
So Jean's back here and he says thank you, vincement
man two hundred gallons of chocolate syrup in this tank.
I said, why I.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Missed him saying that every single time they said it tonight,
just missed the entire thing.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
There, You just heard what you wanted to hear, exactly,
classic two hundred gallons for what, like what.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
The Great Pumpkin Dunk.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
There's some hungry guys on this show. I can't go on.
Bundy could use a little snacky here. So the Great
Pumpkin Dunk is here. It's gonna be cousin. Junior said
the name and Captain Bobby Heenan, not captain of the WWF,
just captain of the team. And you're gonna have to
take that hat off Heenan. And Heenan say, I'm gonna
get rid of this wheel raccoon. I'm gonna get ready.

(43:17):
Jane looks over and he says, oh, look at this
Junkyard dog dresses a mummy of all things. Now, why
why do you keep saying this like this iron sheet
can't be Batman, Junkyard dog can't be a mummy. You're
a fucking pumpkin mean, Gene, you better chilly, that's the yet,

(43:37):
that's I mean I'm so sad that the Yete never
had an actual match, Like he just turns into a
super giant Ninja, which.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Also based but you know, well as the Yete. He
transformed still the Yeta and then changes his name and
he worked legally. Yeah, so technically he was the Yete.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
For one more that's that is true. He legally changes
his name Javo to Kirwin style super so JYC says,
I swear to god, I swear, Jyd says this, but
I'm assuming it wasn't. I heard Jwyd say, shit, I'm
easing in, baby, I'm coming to watch my main man Jr.

(44:19):
Dip his face right in this thing and eat these
punkins real fast. Swear he said.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Shit.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Definitely didn't. But it was funnier that I thought. He
Jean said, speaking of a hundred of junior he's arriving. Now,
let me expin of the rules. Macho man, Randy Savage,
you will be holding the bag eat the food bag. Right,
He is right.

Speaker 7 (44:36):
I replayed that like four times because I had no
idea what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Food dude. I think so, but he like was whispery.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
It was like the weirdest mode.

Speaker 7 (44:46):
It's like you're saying, on your bi give me.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
That food bag, right, dude. That's how he talks all
the time.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Yeah, it's either super loud or super quiet. There's no
in between. Actually, and Jean says, all right, you got
six seconds o' clock. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen,
and Macho Man's is baby and Macho Man is crazy
during this. So they start, and what you gotta do
is you have to bob for a pumpkin and then
throw it into this bag with your mouth. And Macho

(45:13):
Man every time that Heenan gets one of the bag,
yells the number one. Oh, he's got three, three, and
Gene at one point tries to talk to Elizabeth. He
looks he says, Elizabeth, how many And he looks at
Macho Man. He says, all right, never mind. Uh, their
fucking faces are covered in chocolate. Jean starts to countdown

(45:34):
from seven and it's over and Macho Man's is seven
pumpkin dunks.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
I love and cheating. That was so fucking funny, I know, yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Just throwing them in at one point, right.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, yeah, just using his hand. They're like, hey, he's
using his hands. Whatever, Just get this over with.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
He's looking at Elizabeth. Sorry busy, and Jeane says he
then title all up, We're gonna go on the rubber match,
but let's get more exciting action that big dream tag
team match. Andre the Giana hul Cogan are just moments away.
The main event is now like long match, and I'm like, wow, yeah,
there's like forty minutes left on the show, Like what
how could this be? But then I realized, oh, this

(46:16):
is not the main event at all, not even close.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Macho Man hugs Bobby Heenan at the end and gets
pumpkin juice all over him and then he flexes at
the camera.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Macho Man, Is I mean again? We talked about it
last time. These guys are unbelievable characters.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yes, absolutely, they had to be.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
That's what you right, that's what you said, Like what else? Like,
they had no choice but to try to be the
best in their field otherwise they're out of here.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
So now it's time for Hulk Hogan and Andre the
Giant versus Big John stud and King Kong Bundy. So
we have a pre match deal here before we get
into the tag match. Me and Gene is here with
Big John Studd King Kong, Bundy and Bobby Heenan.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Yes, you get these uh pretty much before every match.
I actually like this, and I mean I think we
talked about last starta NIGHTT main event. I mean mean,
Gene is a such an an anchor. I guess you
could say of the show where he is a part
of every seg to move shit along and too he's
fantastic and uh yeah, so mean Jean's here with the

(47:20):
uh Heenan Studd and Bundy, as she said, and Bundy
is standing there doing Mike Tinay lips as Jean asks
Heenan about winning the pumpkin dunk, and Keenan says, was
thereunning down your mind? I'd win anything I put my
mind to, I accomplish. And you're going to see these
two men defeat Hogan and the Big Andre the Giant.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
You damn right, I did.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
The fucking pumpkin screw job. And Jean says, all right, Bundy,
enough of the party talk. Let's talk about the Dream Team.
And Bundy said, that's right, the dream Team, the unbeatable team,
the unslammable team, eight hundred and twenty three pounds right here.
I don't think Bundy realizes that Heenan was talking about
getting Andre.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Yeah, don't worry about that or the dream team. We're
taking it.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
And Jean says, John Studd, Andre and Hogan are no
strangers to you, and So says everyone thinks the number
one team wrestling is Hogan and Andre. Wan a few
short mints, Stud, Bunny, Bundy and Bobby Heenon, A're gonna
show the world he is the best fucked up Bundy's name,
and Jean says, thank you very much, congratulations got Boby Heenon,
where's your beaver hat? He it says, not a beaver,
it's a weasel, it's a raccoon hat. Jean says, sorry,

(48:28):
and then Heatn leads Bundy and Stud right from there
to the ring. And now we got mean Jean with
Captain Lou Albano Captain Lewis Albano that Vince kept calling
him all Cogan and Andre the Giant, and Jean says,
was uh does winning that he's talking to Lou? Does
winning the pie in competition help or hinder your wrestlers tonight?
I don't know how the fuck with this effect of
at all, but I'll take it. Well. Loui Bano just

(48:50):
burbs into the mic and says, all right, there, damning
baby in all aug says, you know, I mean, Gene,
that's enough of the nonsense. Brother, This out here, this
is the real thing. My partner here, Andre the Giant.
He's the eighth of the ninth and the tenth wonder
of the world. Dude, There's no way Bundy or Studd
could ever have beaten this guy fairly. And Andre once
again puts his hand on Hogan's chest. All got.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
You talk too, But I love Hogan's respons here. All right, boss,
He slaps him on the chest.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Yeah, I mean, cool team here, actually, like they have
a cool camaraderie. I guess they do.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Yeah, they absolutely do.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
And again, huge fucking match.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant versus Big John Studdy
and King Kong Bundy. Seeing all of these guys in
the ring together is so insanely fucked up. I mean,
King Kong Bundy looks fucking insane. Man. I love this
guy is crazy.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
He is like he is legit. And I don't mean
this in a fucking mean way. I mean this man
is shaped like a bowling ball.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Like shit is awesome.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Wide, Yeah, it's unreal. How big he is.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
He is begging to be the Kingpin.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Oh my god, he's how was he not?

Speaker 1 (50:05):
King Kong? Bundy had no hair anywhere.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
No super clean like a baby.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Dude, like super bald all over the place. I mean,
his entire body is just completely shaven. So Hogan and
Bundy start things off with a fight for the middle.
Hogan hits a jumping knee strike and takes Bundy down.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Oh my god, the jumping knee strike was awesome, by
the way. It was funny when the match started, by
the way. So Andre is rubbing his hands together and
he pat's Hogan on the back and I can only
imagine I thought he was saying order or hate tonight.
No problem, dude, But anyway, brother.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
So Hogan goes to body slam King Kong Bundy over
the top rope, but Bundy gets down. Hogan punches down Bundy,
and Bundy is really fucking moving, man like super impressive
stuff here. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Andre gets tagged in and fucking grabs Bundy's singlet and
chokes with it and shakes him. I mean, Bundy is
four hundred and fifty pounds. He's just shaking this dude.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
He's got both straps wrapped around his neck. By the way,
the pop for when Andre gets in is nuts, like
he is a star.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Yeah, super attraction.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
He probably sold this whole place out himself. They could
have just announced him. Yeah, super attractions are great. Way
to put it. Fucking jesse Ven Towards on commentary flipping
out this in commentated referee McMahon. He's doing absolutely nothing
about this. How is he choking him? I mean he
is blatantly choking The ref is doing nothing about it.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
I'm not gonna stop Andre. The giant fuck that.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Gutr pulkar waif for a movie.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Yeah, what do you even do if this guy decides
to go a wall? Give it here? So Hulkvin comes
back in, he hits a double axe. From the second
Andre comes back in, he starts chopping down the tree.
That is big, John Studd.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
I mean he's and he's taking him down. He is
I mean again, like you said, Stud is huge. By
the way, I mean Stud and Bundy are both I
mean what a team. I don't know. They don't imagine
gear or anything. They are legit like partners of circumstance.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
So Andre reaches back and he accidentally strikes the ref
and the ref takes a bump, and now all four
men are in the ring and they're going at it.
Another ref comes down, and that is the way we
go to commercial.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Yeah, that ref comes out. He checks on the dead ref.
Hogan sends Bundy to the floor. We reassess, and Vince says,
while we wait for a replacement repheree, let's take a breather,
and we're back and Stud's in there with Andre and
Andre's got him in a bear hug.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
They were way more creative with the commercial breaks back then.
I feel we've seen a couple of these where they'll
do something with the ref or something along those lines
as we go into commercial break. You know, for a
long time they just grabbed a chinlock. Did the heat
and commercial you know, sure.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Or double down or something like that. Right, Yeah, someone
gets thrown on the floor. Oh, roll rolls on.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
After this, Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy powder.
We go to commercial. We come back, Andre bear hug, Stud,
Hogan comes in. He hits the axe bomber. I mean,
we're hot. Andre comes back and he hits a bit boot.
Bundy glombs Andre from behind. Hogan cuts him off. Big
John stud has Andrei andre in the ropes.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Dude, not only andre Andre, which is exactly how I
wrote it to by the way, jameson the Andre Andre,
but he Andre Andrei outside.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Yeah, facing the outside.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Yeah, he's like sitting on the apron with his arms
stuck in the ropes and he's doing the shameless clubs
to the chest, beating the shit out of them and
fucking in the ring. They trip Hogan and Bundy big splashes, Hogan,
they're killing these dudes.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Yeah, dude, seeing andre get andre in the ropes is awesome. Man, Like,
I'm so I was so happy when that happened. Yeah,
that's such a cool spot. By the way, the big
splash that Bundy uses, Yes, I for some reason, I remember,
I'm not sure when they did this, but there was
an angle they ran where Bundy was injuring dudes with
a splash like it was a big move.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Yeah, no, it's I mean it's his kill move, right,
and I mean how he does it is crazy. It's legit.
He jumps into the air and then somehow puts himself
in all fours in the air and lands on you.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Could you imagine King Kong Bundy doing the Crowbar version
where he does the splash to the floor that shit
would have killed somebody. Yeah, you can make an angle
for a year out of that.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
I'm imagining it now and I'm enjoying it.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
So Big John Studd, like you said, was just beating
away Andre's chest his surgically repaired crack sternam and the match.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Is called yeah Q. The ref the Bundy and Stud
were doing too much, and Hogan gets up and the
crowd comes alive because they know Hogan's about to save
the day.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
He comes in, He big boots Bundy, Andre holds Stud
and Hogan hits an axe bomber and Stud powders out
and then Mean Jing comes in. He says, Andre, what
the fuck just happened?

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Or murder? They do have faink announce it was a DQ,
and Hogan and Andre do win this, by the way,
and I mean Hogan and Andre are visibly not happy.
They wanted to get the one two three, which Hogan pantomimes,
which he's the king of pantomime.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
I feel like I always see him doing that. He's
always doing the.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
Yes yeh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
He is always the fucking clap guy.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
Because I think I don't know if he said it.
I've seen an interviewer or somebody that he uh like
he would do this with the I like he would
panamime so much like with the idea that like, no
matter if they were in the front row or if
they were in the very back row in the fucking nosebleeds,
like they could figure out what's being said.

Speaker 4 (55:42):
Oh yeah, I think I heard that before you.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
That's everybody in this era. Yeah, they were taught to
make sure that everyone in the entire arena can make
out what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Yeah, which changes at some point to make sure the
camera sees everything you do. And that's it.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Yeah, once it turned into a TV product instead of
a Tory brand. Yeah, Ship changed.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
So Jeane says, oh victorious front This guy said, crowd Andre,
tell us about it and guard up Crumar or comma
here are entrepreneurship to Gasha are entrepreneurship? I said, oh Ship, Andrea's.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Oh yeah, that's what I said. Hell yeah fu Yeah, dude, we.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Prove one point. They can't beat Andre the Giant fairly,
it takes two of them. They'll never beat Andre the Giant.
Never A Birch Qar Warner Bird trap under Order, World Trapprion,
oh ship all right, cool, that's a little threat.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
I felt a little that was a little nefarious, but
all right, something I'm not gonna or something. Dude, hope not.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
You can be the champion when I go to w
c W. Dude crawl.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
Yeah, man, just uh two bros being bros. You know,
until Andre gets weaseled by the weasel.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
That's fucking bullshit. He pulls off Hogan's chain.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
No give me that fucking ship man. Andre says, yes, sir.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
We did watch that. That's fucking awesome.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
Something else but yeah, fuck yeah that was me and hell.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Yeah, Andre says current Goong Barner or everywhere ny time
in the world. I challenge you everywhere, anytime in the world.
Real ship, Andre, That's what Gene says.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Yes, so you know it's on site plus so we
have Macho Man and Tito Santana coming up, but first
we have the pre match Shenanigans here, me and Gene
is here with the Macho Man and Elizabeth and.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Gean says, were moments away from the intercoll belt with
Tito Santana and Macho Man, Randy, I gotta ask you
why a woman manager kind of men that it is
a question like that is either a blind man, We're
stupid man? What kind of man are you? Gene Oakland?
All right, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, I understand why the Matra man

(58:01):
picked you, but why would you pick wrestling? I mean,
she says, well, gine An interested in sports, but I
really just want to help Randy in any way you
need it. Which was I mean, it's very wholesome. Uh sadly,
Macha man's an ass whole to this poor poor woman.
And Jeane says, Randy Savage. Quite unusual for you or
any man to get a title shot so quickly? Are
you ready? I'm ready able? And William don't I could.

Speaker 4 (58:26):
Ship?

Speaker 2 (58:27):
I know, don't you ever ask?

Speaker 1 (58:31):
You liked it?

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Again? Let's go a woman and fucking Elizabeth and him
walk away. Jane is staring at her ass as she
walks away, and Vince says, gene Gane, Jane, you never
looked at Louibano that way, but I guess loui Abano
never looked like Elizabeth.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
He jumps scared me and Gene that was finny.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Matam should have came back and kicked the ship out
of him. What the fuck? You're looking mean, Gene, you
bowled basted, you would dressed like a pumpkin that attached.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
To your head or crossed the deal with the stiff.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
Macho Man should have just wrestled as Tarzan, not too
far off from what he usually wears anywhere.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
Oh, I was that he wrestling as Tarzan? Actually you
would ever question me like that again? Who is Tarzan?

Speaker 2 (59:15):
This is only wear fits my street clothes.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
So you have Macho Man versus Tito Santana Intercontinental Championship match.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
No words from Tito.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
Huh Yeah, I'm sure they got some, but maybe it
just wasn't great.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Yeah, sure, fair enough.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Macho Man and Tito start with a mean lock up here.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
Nice to see, very tight.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Tito goes to punch Macho, but he backs off and
looks at the crowd, and Jesse Ventura says, well, McMahon
closed fist punches are illegal, so I don't blame Macho Man.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
He's such a fucking asshole.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Macho Man grabs the chin lock. The crowd starts getting
behind Tito as he works up here, but Macho yanks
the hair and gets him back down.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
Fucking son of a bitch. I didn't it's so funny
yanks him down, and Vince says, I looked like it
was a yank there. Jesse, no, I certainly did not
see that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Mcmahmon, dude, this was great. So Tito tries to grab
Macho Man's hair, but the ref sees him and doesn't
allow him to do it, and Jesse van Tura says,
I think he was going for the hair there. Yeah,
good sequence of stuff here. Macho Man body slams Tito
and heads up to the top, goes for the double axe,

(01:00:25):
but Tito punches him in the stomach midair.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
That was a crazy way he got there. He climbed
up to the top just to climb to the second.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Doing a double axe as a regular move, by the way,
makes the easiest cutoffs ever. I mean, good lord, Yeah,
there's so much you can do there, because I feel
like this is a very common cutoff for the most
part over the next twenty or thirty years. But like
nobody was actually using the double axe. We've seen Macha
Man win matches with the double axe, so it made
a ton of sense when Tito would punch him in

(01:00:55):
the stomach out of midair because he's going for a
move that wins the.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Matches, right, and he know he knows the move. I mean,
I've been watching a gift of mach Man doing it
off of a cage all week.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Dude, that is the craziest ship I've ever seen. This
just destroying his legs at any chance he gets. There's
no way to land that right.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
It just folds like an accordion. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
I think when it hit him, you know I could
do it from the top, But how about the tip
of the cage and do it. I don't know about
that one. Dude. Maybe you're gonna throw your fucking ankles
and legs out, don't you dealt the much your man pussy?
He probably fucking That's probably exactly what it was. Hogan
said he couldn't do it, and watch Man says he's dude.

Speaker 7 (01:01:36):
The boys probably came after him really hard every time. Yeah,
you won't jump off the top to the outside. You
will do that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Turns out it was nobody. It was just people. Macha
Man was making up in his head because he's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
Here thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
He's sitting in the corner of a room arguing with himself.
I'll do it, I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
He's in the fucking room where they put him fucking
straight jacketed because of this slim gyms.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
I'm gonna jump off some ship.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
The slim GM guy's talking to me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
So Tito is now a house of fire, unloading everything
he's got. After catching Macha Man off guard here punches
kicks a big wind up punch. Tito hits the ropes
for the flying Burrito, but Macha Man powders almost Tito
chases him out and punches him down by the barricade.
Here Macha Man is just playing keep away now. Macha
Man then hits a knee lift that sounds like a

(01:02:31):
fucking gunshot went off.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Sounded fantastic. Yeah, it was legit, like fucking got him.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
The ref calls for the bell though, because the match
is a double count.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
Sloppy finishes here in the WF, I'm getting real sick
of it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
I love the guy holding the mic beside the rings,
sitting in a chair. I don't know if you noticed him.
He's got the long stick mic and he's just sitting
out there catching all the sounds.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Oh is that for like the ring sound?

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Yeah? Yeah, they had this on all this Saturday night.
Main events, like someone rings some of that big microphone.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Yeah, it's a smart idea when it works.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
So he go backstage. Mister Fuji is screwing in his eyeballs. Yeah,
what the fuck is this? He's fucking knuckling his temples
and just grimacing and groaning into the camera. And then
we go to another scene where Ricky Steenboad is breaking
a board. Then he stands up and punches another and

(01:03:29):
back elbows another one. He's going to town on this.
This is, of course, the preparation you have.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
To have for a kung fu challenge.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
And of course then we cut to everyone backstage practicing
for the pumpkin pass contest. This is the craziest back
to back to back pretapes ever.

Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
Dude. The shot, the first shot that they show here
is unexplained. They don't say what we're going into, so
all I see is Iron Cheek and Nikolai Volkov kind
of nuzzling each other's necks, and I'm like, what the
fuck is going on? Is this? Like?

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Yeah, I was like, wow, he's a pretty badass. But
then yeah, they say it's a pumpkin pass.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
I was so confused. Yeah, they're passing a pumpkin to
each other through their necks, and the gene says, with
the final practice is going on here for the pumpkin pass.
Let's take a special, very special glimpse at Roddy Piper
and how he spent his Halloween at his rented American home.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
I could have never guessed what I was about to see.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
I cannot believe like any of this, the fact that
they went out of the way, by the way to
make sure that people knew that this He didn't live
in America like his his gimmick is he is not American.
He's from Scotland. And you have to know this. Yeah, og,
he's a landlord. So outside his house there's a big

(01:04:47):
Roddy Piper cut out and bagpipes are playing, and Piper's
in his house and he's oh yeah, ha ha hell
al mighty spider and faster. Oh and there's a cutout
of him in the house as well. Oh. So Restor
salone to them, not too handsome my, he uh, And
he's fucking flipping out and he says, Halloween such fun
preparing for them little monsters. And you take a stick
and you put it inside. You gotta twist that around.

(01:05:08):
I don't understand what's going on until Vince is here,
which he is here. He no clips into Piper's house.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Yeah, that's right with the microphone.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
Yeah, he's he's set up for a broadcast, and Vince's here,
and Vince says, ah, we're in the kitchen of a
you know, the rented American home of Roddy Piper. Would
you would you mind cutting down the radio? And Piper says,
and I quote, I got bricks to make man, I
don't know. That's where I realized. Oh he's fucking like
planning to kill gits. What's happening here? So Vince says,

(01:05:40):
mister Piper, how do you celebrate Halloween back in your
native Scotland? And Piper says, ah, not a native. I
come from the most sophisticated And Vince's hold on, wait,
what the these are? These are bricks? Oh no, no, no,
this is a bowling ball. No no, that's not candy apple.
He says. When one of her children come to the
door and ring the doorbell ding ding, another one comes

(01:06:02):
out a ding ding and a ding ding, and I
r ding Dan And Piper emphasizes that in Scotland it's
trick or treat, which means, I guess this is what
they do there. You either get a trick or a treat,
and one of the tricks will be he will beat
you to death with bricks and bowling ball. Right, James, No,
am I getting this wrong?

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Oh? I don't know. Yeah, I mean this whole segment.
I just I have no idea what's going on. It's
like a psychopath at work, don't Yeah right, I don't
think you're supposed to understand what's going on there is like.

Speaker 7 (01:06:33):
He's screwing sticks into bowling balls.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
What the is that?

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
A kady apple?

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
But yeah, yeah, he's just a crazy, crazy man.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Well, the doorbell rings and there's kids here, and one
of the kids says, I remember last year. So Piper says, oh,
I'll come on in here, which I guess was acceptable
in nineteen eighty five that kids knock on the door
and you bring them into the house.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Yeah. Did that just fucking happen like all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
So and Vince is there, always fu in trouble And
he says, look at this, what a bunch of lovely
curtain climbers. What are you supposed to be? The kid says, oh,
Hull cooking mister Piper. Oh who is he anyway? You
got candy? Oh, yeah, got SAME's SAME's tie his arms
as Houlgan. That sucks those.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Oh yeah, those are bricks balls.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
No, no, no, these are fucking candy apples. And one
of the girls is why are they so big? Oh?
Because I'm a wonderful person. So he tries to give
him chocolate. He says, you know this chocolates from Hershey, Pennsylvania,
and you want some, let me help you, any stiff.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
That's where we're at tonight.

Speaker 8 (01:07:39):
Yeah, that's where we're at tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
That's where at this lovely house. And Piper stuffs a
bowling ball through one of the bags. It's dude, I
don't know if you guys called it. He does this,
and the bag rips and you can hear someone behind
the shot laughing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
Oh I didn't catch that. I had a very crazy
VHS effect going on all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
So Piper says, oh, I help you, and the candy
goes all over the floor, and he says, I got
a bag of candy fill for yeah, I'll film up,
and he fucking fills two bags of candy and he
hands it to the kids and the kids say thank you,
mister Piper, and he's all, you're well, so welcome.

Speaker 1 (01:08:16):
I'll get out.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
So the kids fucking leave. They're all corralling around outside
and they say, we got him this time. I hope
mister Piper likes his chocolate covered red pepper And I'm
like what, So we go right back inside. Immediately, Piper
is fucking flipping out. He takes flowers out of a
vase and drinks the water pours Oliver's fucking head. Vince

(01:08:41):
is dying, laughing as Piper's flipping out. Oh, you're fucking stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
Cavan looks at the camera.

Speaker 8 (01:08:50):
You guys like Tama Jerry or what bucks Buddy does
a little tapped in.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Dude, the way Vince turns and looks at the camera says,
trick or tree Roddy. That was more unnerving than the
rest of this.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Fuck you put Hogan Kid on a sleeper and Hogan
Kid from it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:25):
Yeah, I should have just panned away outside. Drone shot
backing up, the kids start running like they're in the
movie weapons and Piper's chasing them around the neighborhood.

Speaker 7 (01:09:36):
Dude, he's throwing bowling balls and bricks at these kids
as they are running down the street.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Yeah, it's time for the main event here, mister Fuji
versus Ricky Steamboat Kung Fu match. We get a little
pre match stuff here. Mean Gene comes up to mister
Fuji backstage who is breaking bricks with his bare hands.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Which I mean is pretty impressive. I can only and
I believe that they're real bricks, and I'm buying into it.
And he does it. He breaks one. He says, this
is fucking Ricky Steamboat's arm. This one's Ricky Steamboat's leg.
And then he has a board and he says, this
is the ribs of Ricky Steamboat and he breaks it
over his head. And Jeane says, you have got to
be kidding me. We got to get out of here
before we run out of bricks and wood, which I

(01:10:21):
guess they needed in an abundance.

Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
Of Take it to Roddy Piper's with a pre tape.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Jean said, Uh, wow, you're creating a lot of expectations
and you think you're going to be able to follow
it through. No, mean, Gene, I don't think they are.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
No way, Bud, no way. I It's it's actually it's
it's pretty interesting. I guess this isn't something that we
talked about before the pacing of shows like this, because
I think the last one too had a The Hogan
Terry Funk match was not the main of that one,
was it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
There must have been a time in the show where
they knew that most people would be watching, so that's
where they wanted to be on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Yeah, sure, okay, that makes sense, and that's where the
biggest match goes then, So.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
Mister Fuji he walks out with Don Morocco to the
ring and Mean Jean is here with Ricky Steamboat.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Jean says, perhaps one of the most important matches of
your career. That's fucking crazy. We know mister Fuji and
Don Morocco are capable of let's go back in time
and professional memories. So they show back to this angle
here where they had a belt or a strap wrapped
around Ricky Steamboat's neck and mister Fuji was holding him
up with this. Don Morocco was holding his legs and

(01:11:25):
they threw him over the top rope to hangman him. Yep,
this is the scariest thing I've ever fucking seen.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
So now it's time for a Kung Fu match.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
Gene says, what would be different on your match tonight?
And Ricky says, you know, in the past, the they
you know, they felt the physical person, Ricky Steamboat. Tonight, Fuji,
you're gonna feel what you fear the dragon. You remember that, Fuji,
I see you out there, and he points out to
the ring the dragon. I've said enough and he heads
to the ring.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
Me and Jean says, that makes me feel very uneasy.
Back to you Vents. Wow, you guys have created some
very high expectations for this one. Ricky Steamboat versus mister
Fuji with Don Morocco Kung Fu match. As you mentioned before,
Fuji and Morocco have been making Steamboat's life a living hell.
I mean they hang man him over the ropes, right, Yeah,

(01:12:20):
so Steamboat's gonna unleash the dragon and take care of business.
Steamboat is fucking shredded. Man.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
He looks great, he looks fantastic. Yeah, dude, Like again,
you know I watched his match. I'm like, God, damn it.
You know a little singles with Don Morocco would have
been cool.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Well, Steamboat hits a huge strike combo with an Enzi
to start things off. Mister Fuji goes low and then
head butts steamboats cock and balls.

Speaker 2 (01:12:46):
Dude like, he definitely kicks him right in the balls,
and n says, oh, that was not a kick to
the groin, it was the upper leg. However, I'm guessing
the referee just fucking blew this one.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
Dude. He said, that's not a kick to the groin,
and then he immediately head butts him right in the
cock and balls. Well, all right, Fuji chops Steamboat super
hard here, which sees Steamboat fire back with a low combo.
Fuji gets underneath Steamboat's chin with two fingers and sends
them flying.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Holy shit, Tonguan death grip whip. This was fucking sick.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
Fuji hits a TNA kick, goes for a vertical souplex,
but Steamboat reverses it into one of his own.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Dude, I wrote, Fuji double punches him in the chest
and then hits a TNA kick. It's just what it lives. Yeah,
I mean, fucking Ricky's on top now heads up top
for his.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
Move the drop kick from the top right, and he
hits it and it's over and he wins.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
Yeah. I said, oh, I was totally expecting diving cross body,
but I guess in a kung fu match, you have
to do a kung fu dropkick.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
Do you see Ricky Steamboat's finish at the cross body
the Dragons finishes the drop Anyways, here's Don Morocco. He
comes in and Steamboat and that fas.

Speaker 7 (01:14:03):
Awesome, just spitzerr in his face.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Yeah, unreal amount of mist that he unloads on Ricky
here and it's I mean, it's all over them, and
then they kick the shit out of them. Even worse,
they missed his eyes and then mister Fuji starts raking
his eyes. Yeah, fucking asshole. They stop him out, they
rake his eyes and they just leave. And Jesse Ventura says,

(01:14:27):
this goes by one of my old standby rules, McMahon.
It's not how you play the game, it's whether you
win or lose. Ha ha damn me.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
And Gene is here with Elizabeth and shows the audience
how we're doing the pumpkin pass. You put the pumpkin
on your neck, yeah, you pass it to the other
person's neck.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
There's intricacies here, and they have to do this through
the entire line of their team to win, and if
they drop it, that is how many passes will count
to their final score. On Jean, it's very awkward. I
don't know why they gonna come up with anything else here. Yeah. Really,
so we're with Vincent Jesse now, and Vince says, we're
just about ready for the final event, the special Pumpkin

(01:15:07):
pass competition. And if you'll recall Jesse, early on, Lou
Albano's team won the pilting contest. Well, that didn't surprise
me one bit McMahon, because Lou Albano is a big, fat,
sloppy pig.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Holy fuck Jesus Jesus Christ. Hey you in the room, right, asshole,
what are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Fat boy?

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
You know? And boys with whole coache? Hodrea Gyre right like,
oh fuck, yeah, I know, George Anami steel asshole.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Well, Vince says, Vince doesn't even sell that. He says, yes,
but hey, then we saw the bobbing for pumpkins that
was won by Bobby Heathens team. Well, he's the brain,
of course he won. I'm not too sure what this
next competition takes, but nonetheless, gentlemen, are you ready? You
have sixty seconds to pass this pumpkin down the line.
If you drop. But that's where the count of passes stops.

(01:16:03):
So we begin with the faces. Uh, they start passing
it from one to the other. It's Jyd Tito, Santana,
a bunch of other faces here, and Jesse is already
accusing them of cheating. They're covering up with their capes. McMahon.
They're getting their hands in there. There's hands involved in there.
Lou Albano gets past the pumpkin, he then starts convulsing.

(01:16:23):
He must have an immediate allergic reaction. And this was why.

Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
You know, hell gets you every time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
There's no such thing if you have some. So yeah,
Loui Bano starts shaking. He drops it before he can
pass it to Hogan. So there's five successful passes for
Loua Albano's team. Hogan should have fucking decked them right there.
You fucking up my push, dude, that's going to gets
my win loss record.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
Brother, No, come on, that's his boy.

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
Why is Andre not participating in the Halloween contest? Activities
just couldn't pay him enough. That fucking sucks. They should
have got pumpkin beer.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
Yeah, he probably went to the bar. He's not doing
the pumpkin pass.

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
He's taking a big shit instead of doing this. So
we go to the next team and Jesse says, me
and Jean, we got a new late entry. Super rod
has arrived. This team has got to be the odds
on favorite because Roddy Piper's now here and his goddamn
Superman outfit. And then we have the Heels do it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
The Heels, King Abraham Lincoln starts things off. I mean,
this is a crazy look. I mean, this guy looks nuts.

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
I didn't realize that in my brain. King Kong Bunny
was not a stooge, but he kind of was.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
Got that hat.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
So they pass it one to the other, and we
get down to Elizabeth trying to pass it to Piper,
and Piper's going out of his way to make this
the most difficult process he could possibly make it and
Elizabeth drops it, which turns her into the most hated
person in the room.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
Macho man is pissed.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Dude, Macho man in her face. Fucking Piper is screaming
a shame on you. They're like, all the Heels are
admonishing her for dropping this stupid ass pumpkin. Macho man
is I mean, he's so fucking mad. He's more mad
that he that they lost this than him not winning
the inter title, Like this is nuts and fucking. Jesse says, well,

(01:18:23):
I would suppose, you know, you go over there with
the Hillbillies. They grew up sitting on pumpkins. And she says,
what do you why do you want to get on
the case of the Hillbillies. Well, you better watch it yourself,
you little pumpkin, or how to pass you? I am sorry? Fuck,
I mean the the fucking the ability for these guys

(01:18:46):
to bounce off each other is amazing, Yeah, it really is.
The chemistry is fair with.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
Each other all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
Yeah, that's true. They're probably fucking ribbing each other on
the road constantly.

Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
Well, it goes to commercial when it comes back and Vince,
me and Gene and Jesse Ventur are here.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Yes, Vince says, Pumpkin eating pie, passing and Piper's pitt
can't get any more than this. Well, let me tell
you too, dude, something you Jack McMahon and you little
ugly pumpkin. It could get a lot better than this.
Me and Piper, we want those Hillbillies in the ring
on the next Saturday Night made event. WWF you listen up,
and Jean's had enough. De loox up a Jesse Ventur
and says, you call me a little pumpkin. Jesse Ventura,

(01:19:25):
you're the last one to talk with them Pheasid and
peacock feathers all over your face.

Speaker 1 (01:19:29):
Aren't I pretty?

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
Yeah, give me a break. Vince, I don't know about
this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
Well, it goes to commercial and we come back and
they say goodbye.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Dick ever Saw. So yeah, Vince is with Jesse and
vinceys I had a really good time, Jess, what about you. Well,
if that's your idea of a good time, McMahon, I've
sure had better ones. All right, So long, let's see
on the next Saturay Night's Man event. Dick ever Saw
is on this. He fucking put this together, shouts out

(01:20:06):
Dick ever Saw. I love these shows. I love these shows.
I feel like I have such an appreciation for a
lot of these guys more than I already did, like
completely admit myself. The terry funk that I know is
e CW and beyond sure how I caught him right
like he came into ECW. I his gimmick there was
he was the vet So I just knew that he'd

(01:20:27):
been around them, so like that's how I all saw him.
So getting back, go to go back and see like, oh, okay,
this is like this is why he was sick, Like
this is why I mean even with Hogan, like you know,
the Hogan that I saw, obviously, I've seen clips and

(01:20:48):
clips of him from fucking you know, Slimon Andre YadA, YadA, YadA.
But like you can very obviously see how this guy
caught the crowd that he did and how he got
so over. Everything he did was so flat, not maybe
not entirely moves wise, but just how he presented himself.
He was fucking huge, larger than life is probably good
way to put I think James said that earlier. Uh,

(01:21:09):
I mean, like I totally get like all this stuff,
Piper another guy, just the being able to see these guys,
I mean, nineteen eighty five, I don't know shit about
a lot of this stuff, even fucking Junkyard Dog like
James was talking about, which I you know, he was
fucking schooling me on that. You know, how over he
was before this. It's like, damn man, like fucking it
used to be better, huh.

Speaker 1 (01:21:32):
At the very least it was definitely different. Yeah.
