we were eating the chicken tender joints. You remember those.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I remember those.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I've changed mine quite a bit from then.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Well you got the guy. You put the goddamn chili

If you're if you're trying to lose weight, good cookout meal,
by the way, Barbecue sandwich okay, just regular. It comes
with slaw. It's good, I promise, and double chicken nuggets.
I think the meals like six hundred something calories and
a lot of protein.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I feel like there was a few meals for cookout
that you told me were like shockingly low calories.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah yeah, just check them menu you're surprised at like
what you can concoct with a pretty good protein to
to calorie ratio.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
All Right, let's get into WWF SmackDown April twenty seventh,
two thousand. It is one of my favorite intros.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
I mean it's a classic. But before we talk about
the classic SmackDown intro in this legendary episode of SmackDown,
let's talk about what was going on in the water
wrestling at the time. With the Wrestling Observer newsletter, we've
been over a bit of this era, probably be able
to tell from some of the news that I'm gonna
go over here. But for those of you that you know,
haven't or just want to go back into the air
and feel what was going on at the time, I'll

(15:48):
go over some stuff here again. From The Observer, April
twenty fourth, two thousand. The situation involving Mike Awsome and
the East of U heavyweight titles took several turns over
the past week, ending with the unique situation of a
w CW ANDWWF contract to wrestler in a match. The
legal controversies at first appeared settled on April tenth, when
e W andww came to an agreement where ww paid

(16:09):
ECWA reported six figure settlement regarding the contract of Mike
Alfonso you might know him as Mike Awsome, I know
is Michael Fonso, and agreed to the certain stipulations regarding
his portrayal on the Nitro program that evening, and that
he would drop the ECW title on April thirteenth in Indianapolis.
We've talked about this a bit. We've talked about because
I think the SmackDown the week before this one that

(16:31):
we're watching today is the one where Taz and Triple
H have their match. I'm pretty sure that's right. Taz
obviously wins ZCB title. Also here, by the way Wallace
was going on, Hayman came up with the idea to
bring in Taz's a surprise opponent to win the title
from Awesome, apparently formulated while eating dinner at a Chinese
restaurant with the EW production staff. It's very specific here
of how they knew exactly when, where now this was concocted.

(16:55):
Hayman called McMahon, who accepted the proposals hamulaid it out,
which at the time was for Taz to win the
CIVY title then drop it in Philly to Tommy Dreamer,
with the original suggestion being the further McMahon storylines having
Perry Saturn cost has the match so you won't have
to lose cleanly to an ECB wrestler, which of course
we'll talk about on the SmackDown because TAS's big angle
at the time in WWF was of course fucking going

(17:18):
for the hardcore title, as was everyone else. More news here,
insane clown, Posse's Juggalo Champion. Shit wrestling. That's what it
says here, That's what it used to be. Ran its
first tour date on April fourteenth in Denver at the
Fillmore Auditorium before an estimated two thousand fans at twenty
five dollars apiece. Although many were comps, Meltzer says, it

(17:40):
was described as a very young crowd, many things that
were coming to see a concert as opposed to wrestling.
There were very young kids there, but no matter. The
ring girl came out wearing a thong and a T
shirt for the opener, later just a thong for the
main event. No thong, Meltzer says, Actually it's not as
great as it sounded because the guys were chanting for
her to put her clothes back on. In one match,

(18:00):
he has the fans of throwing one dollar bills and
then the two guys then preceded a staple of the
bills to each other. So JCW been around for quite
some time here. I don't know if I knew it
started in fucking two thousand. I thought it was, you know,
maybe a little deeper than that, especially with the guys
that end up being champed there.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, I imagined it was early two thousand because they
were doing stuff on TNA and you know hatchet Man. Yeah,
that was a big deal.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
C Dub, Yeah, that's fucking true. Also in JCW news,
the legal problems continued between Paul Hayman and Saboo. Hayman
successfully blocked Saboo from working the ICP Juggalo Championship Correct
Spelling Wrestling Tour, where he was scheduled to be the
headline attraction. XPW announced for the show on April fifteenth
that Hayman's legal maneuverings had blocked Saboo from appearing on

(18:46):
the show the day before, except they used them anyway
as an unnounce surprise as he showed up during the
King deet O versus Douglas xp tow tittle match, which
turned into a three way. The word given to us
was wink wink. Saboo was able to show up because
he wasn't paid. Add Mark Kerr to the list of

(19:07):
shoot Fighters on their way to w CW. This is
funny because there's a fucking Marker movie coming out, played
by the Rock. Kerr was contacted by Bischoff and told
they were gonna have a group called Fight Club composed
of Mark Coleman, Don Fry, Mark Kerr, Rick Steiner in
Tank Abbott. Mark Kerr was told he'd be brought in
after the concept is developed as a new Monster rather

(19:29):
than at first. That group sounds fucking awesome.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know what they would do
in w CW. Maybe they would feud with three.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Count, that's the that's the exact thing I say. Definitely
feuding with Recount and then the Jung Dragons, and then
I imagine they joined the New Breed her new Blood. Sorry,
same thing.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
They're gonna join and redo the Misfits in action.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
With Don Fry.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
This is ass butt balls Learner sows.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
General fuck Sargeant. Fuck.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
It's four of the most accomplished MMA fighters of all time,
says Ass.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
From the Observer of May one, two thousand. When the
smoke cleared after nine months, the title changes largely forced
upon him and designed a surprise Paul Hayman finally went
back to the original plan a and you'll like this
James as the latest surprise. Just incredible who Hayman had
planned to be East of of You Heavyweight champion, dating
back more than eighteen months, with the idea of not
putting the title on him until he had a national

(20:39):
television outlet and being the wrestler that RVD would chase
in the company's top program. Wound up with the East
w title after two more switches at Easy to B
CyberSlam on April twenty second. The title changes over the
past year have all been mandated not by long term planning,
but by short term reactions to previous problems. The original
plan was for Shane Douglas to hold it until getting

(20:59):
a national out A lot of plans here for holding
the title or not giving someone of the title until
they had TV. Just incredible being the guy that was
going to forefront the TV movement. It's absolutely pretty fucked
up to think about.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
I think it was supposed to be Amish Roadkill, but
he was. Yeah, he was too willing to lose. He
just didn't he didn't care too much.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
If he would have looked just a little more like
Stone Cold, it probably would have been roadkilled because he
has all the features.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
I mean, all he had to do is take the
goate down just a little bit.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
He had to put Gina shorts on. But instead Justin
Credible is going to be the TV stone Cold.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
You think maybe they just thought it's a CRT TV.
Maybe they'll think it's a stone called like that's the
Portuguese Man of War. No, that's stone Cold.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Look at him.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Oh that's a shame.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
After getting a settlement from WW, since Austin did have
a contract with e W, they included Awesome coming back
to do the quote unquote I've got to do a
job and get over with match in a minute thirteen
in Indianapolis, and Hayman's selling the idea of using TAZ him.
He's like, man, it created the TAZs to Tommy jermyed
a credible scenario all taking place on April twenty second.
How it went down to fit if anyone didn't see it,
Dreamer won the belt and then all the baby faces

(22:16):
come out and then Justin Credible comes out and kills
Tommy and Raven and shit. And then he talked shit
about Mike Awesome and he you know, he talks about
it awesome when he's gonna throw the belt down and
how Taz wanted to defend the belt on raw, but
he's going to be the one to fucking do it,
and he throws his tag title down. Because I think
they were trying to do a thing where like he

(22:36):
was not I guess maybe like the Shane Dougs thing
where Shane threw the belt down and he was the
new EACW fucking champ. I think that's kind of what
they were going for. And we actually just watched that
episode of ECW where there was a tag tournament because
he did this, So yeah, they were trying to, you know,
make him a big fucking deal here, and he's he's
a top guy, told it till it ends. But yeah,
just I guess I don't know who else think. I mean,

(22:58):
I would have just put it back on RVD or
give it to RVD at all. I an rdy ever
wins the fucking thing. He was just TV champ.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Maybe they knew he was out, probably because.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Lands Storm's gone too. I think that's also another part
of that. That Landstorm was going to WCW, so they
were like, well, how do we get this belt off
of him? And this belt onto him and that's how
they did very easily. In ww news, this is funny
that this is also happening around the same time, Meltzer says. Yes,
the most prestigious title in our sport changed hands twice
more this week, with DDP beating Jeff Yard on Nitro

(23:28):
for the world title on April twenty fourth, and then
it being put on the winner of the fall in
a tag match on Thunder in April twenty fifth, with
David Arquette pinning Eric Bischoff. So the David Arkette title
winning thing happened to like almost the same week, if
not around the same week of fucking them doing the
WWCWWWF thing at the same time. So a lot of
fucked up title situations here in two thousand.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, and they all did great for all these companies.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
So everyone looks back upon them. Fun from the Observer,
May eighth, two thousand. Just a couple more things here,
or one more thing actually here. Wizards of the Coast Inc.
Filed a lawsuit on a sorry March twenty third against
WWFE to keep the WBF from launching game cards that
freelance game designer Michael Fitzgerald claims are based on his ideas.

(24:16):
The claim is that the WWF has taken key design
features without permission or license into their game. Wizards it's
releasing a game with ww in June. Fitzgerald had first
met with Comic Images in New Jersey publishing company about
working with WWF and designing a trading card game last year,
and had the mock up prepared. Comic Images told them
the game was being opened up to other companies, and Fitzgerald,

(24:37):
who didn't have a contract with Comic Images or WWF,
received no payment for his idea. Then he pitched a WCW,
which signed a contract with him last July for a
game called ww Nitro. And I think that's probably I
think you've probably seen a bunch of those. It was
like the red buff bagwall fucking packs, and that's going
to be released next month. As of here, Wizards is
asking the court to grant a permanent injunction against the

(24:57):
WWF from releasing its game, which is also schedule to
come out at the same time. I didn't know that
this was the thing, Like, I didn't know WWF was
gonna originally have the WCW card game. I don't think
I ever learned the ww card game or I just
saw I just know Sandman's WS like Rookie WCW card
is that's all I know? Yeah, sure, yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
It was an actual game, like a trading card game,
not a collectible card game.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah. I think you actually play with them. Yeah right.
That made me think of how crazy the wrestling game
stuff in general, you talk about games. The fact that, like,
you know, WCW and WWF having games on the same
engine was pretty fucking nuts. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Sure, I mean I bet at the time it was
a dream for developers though. Oh my god, you just
shop around the engine.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Holy shit. Yeah, I mean, like that has to be
easiest thing ever. And they both sold fucking unbelievably, Like
those are the fucking like goat Nintendo games, right, Yeah,
and that's it for the Observer. Now let's talk about
WWF SmackDown April twenty seventh, two thousand.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
All right, so we get into the show here in Charlotte,
North Carolina. Oh, we get a very rare SmackDown lightning
ball transition at the start. I thought that was.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Crazy, dude, Okay, that threw me off fir a second.
I said, big fucking lightning bolt transition. This is of
course also Oval shron on the right side of the building.
I can only assume that was just to do with
the placement of the seats. So we're seventy two hours
away from Backlash. This is technically the go home to Backlash.
There's a couple signs or one sign in the crowd

(26:32):
here that I enjoyed. It was a picture of Rakishi's
ass drawn. It was two big ass cheeks and it
says Rikkeshi has the SmackDown and the ass is being
held by hands, so it's spreading the ass cheeks right.
It was very well. The hands were really little though,
so I guess it was just to emphasize how big

(26:53):
the ass was. Yeah, just dwarfing the hands, which happened
with two that's true. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
So we have Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler on commentary
this evening, and we kicked the show off with Eddie
Guerrero and China versus Valvenus and s a Rios with Lita.
I actually didn't know this was a tag match until
everyone got out here.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Dude. I was so confused at the order of entrance
here because Eddie and trying to come out I'm like, Okay,
here's a fucking singles match. Then Valvenus comes out, I said, oh,
of course it's a fucking singles match against Val. Also,
when Val comes out, I swear he was wearing long
black tights.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
He had a very rare black towel on this week
with his initials on it. Yeah, Like I was like, oh,
this is an odd choice here, but no, yeah, black towel.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
And then they announced this is a tag match, and
that's where I realized, Okay, Val is fucking Eddie's partner. No,
China is Eddie's partner. Sse Rios is Valvinus his partner? Who?
And why you ask? Well, Eddie and Val had a
singles match on Monday and sa Rios got involved and

(28:09):
China kicked both their asses.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
And Venus pinned Eddie, who is the European champion.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Also Cole says, so they're headed to a major day
at Backlash that Eddie grow in China, Eddie passes ged
and on raw, Eddie and China were trying to find
the perfect outfits for their prom and Lyda and s
a Ros got involved, but not in the prom they
just got involved in the match.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
So Eddie Hot starts on Valvenus, and China goes for Lyda,
but s a Rios stops her. Valvenus quickly takes over
and hits a mother FM bomb on Eddie. Eddie catches
him with an inzigiri.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
I mean Eddie, by the way, all these guys actually
do look great here, I say Rios. I'm surprised he
doesn't last longer. He's cool as fuck.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
He is very cool. I like the combo with Lyda too,
but I understand Lida and the Hardys becomes the most
ever act ever during this era.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's a generational fucking trio there. I mean, like as
could have kept pop it off moon Salt. So when
he pops off in this match is nuts.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
You're telling me the Hardy's and Michael Hayes couldn't have
got his over Michael Hayes doing a little Moosalt.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Why didn't they? They could have just put in the
team extreme.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Michael Hayes has a thumb one hands, huh. So val
hits a blue thunderbomb for a two. When Eddie gets
distracted by how much he loves China.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
China is so like he's smitten. He's smitten by China so.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Eddie holds Rios in the corner and China hits the
razzle dazzle.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yes, dude, I love that she did that. I was
always excited because it was in the games because of her.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Val comes in and they hit a double team move
where Val throws Eddie into Rio's feet for a two
three D on.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
The boots, which was I actually thought that was kind
of cool.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, I'm always down for guys coming up with some
double team stuff.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Lawler said, have you have you been to a Spanish prom?
And Cole says no, I haven't. Lawler says, oh, it's
a el but changa and Cole says, okay, what does
that mean? And Lot says that's a big party. Have
you been to a Spanish party? No? Okay, why have you? Whatever?

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Then Val hits a spinebuster on Eddie and s Rios
hits a moon salt.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
This fucking moon salt is nuts. He gets so much
height and distance on this thing.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well, Val Venus stops China from breaking it up and
sa Rios pins Eddie.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
To win this match. Oh, pin the champ.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Everyone's pinning the champ. Why is this not a three
way at the payer view?

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Because Venus also penned them because we need to do
the prom That's not because we hate you. That's what
she said to him in the back. You know something, Jim,
But why do not get a title shot because you
hate your son? Why don't you walk on out the
door and don't ever talk to me again?

Speaker 2 (31:10):
You throw clothes lunes like that, I'll hit you for real.
So this breaks down after fucking you know, val Uh
gets rid of China and Cereals gets the pin because
valven is in China, start brawling on the floor. Lda
is now in the ring. She moon salts Eddie then
immediately gets up in her areo starts stomping him out,
which I thought was very funny. Uh, we got backstage.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
We are at the d X Express, a large silver bus.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Dude, big ass metal bus, Like this is the cheapest
fucking thing I've ever seen. And Dowg comes out. They
let on the bus. All the fucking goats are here
from d X of course, as in Road Dog, Triple H, Stephanie, Shane,

(31:54):
Vince Tory. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
So is this degeneration x as is right now or
is this just the McMahon Helmsley regime.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
I think it's both with the dowg with the dog.
I think they say XPOC had like a family emergency
later in the show. That's why nobody's gonna be at
the pay per view. Billy Gunn must have got kicked
out by now.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
He's probably feud him with the dog for a few
more weeks till he joins.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Back with him. You gotta keep running that fucking back
ass versus dog.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Like.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
I mean, that was a that's an angle made in heaven.
This guy has an ass, and this guy's finished as
he funcks you up the ass doggy style.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Well, Vince comes out and uh, he hates this bus.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
He says, Dan express carry a break. Shane likes it that.
Shane says, this thing is awesome.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well, the Rock is walking backstage. He's gonna be a
big part.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Of this evening. He's got a five hundred thousand dollars
orange and blue shirt on and he's here.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
The WWF Boot of the Week brought to you by Lugs.
That's Lugs, rugged boots and shoes with an attitude. Since
you'll never know where you'll end up where your lugs at.
I saw a dude at the gym the other day
with lugs. Really, I sort of got that's awesome. He
had this silver it had this silver gimmick on the side.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
They said, lugs. I forgot to tell you about this
till now. Yeah, dude, he had lugs on. It was
leg day for him too. I was like, wow, I
wanted to go dap him up.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
He was committed.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
You never know whill you end up.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
He ended up at the gym.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Well, the Rock hit the Rock bottom on Crispin wah,
but Vince Low blowed the Rock and triple h hit
the Rock with the pedigree to win the match.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Dude. Yeah, Rock sets up for the people's elbow and
Vince comes up behind him and just kicks him straight
in the balls a great shot. Yeah, and then and
gets the wind. Shane was the referee for that match.
I don't know what was going on, and j R. Says,
I can't believe this crap.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
I can I watch every week.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
I was gonna say, Jack, how do you not like
this has been going on for a while.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Lugs decided conquered. They have a lot of cash phrases.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Man, they were hot, They're still hot.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
We're like, we go to a pre tape Stone Cold
Strikes January nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Yes, they are hyping up the return of Stone Cold.
He's been gone since November because he got hit by
a car, and he's coming back now.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, Jim what they say later on this show, Oh,
Austin has a video because he hit my car.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
That sucks.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
You just take that as this back then too, stone
Go is hit by a car. He won't be here
for fucking six months. Oh yeah, Okay, I guess that's
what I mean. What I yeah, I'm gonna look it up.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
So, yeah, he's coming back to being the Rocks corner
at the pay per view. This was a recap of
January ninety nine where Vincent says, apparently Stone Cold isn't
coming back to the arena. Well, apparently Stone Cold does
come back to the arena in a Limo monster truck
and he runs over a set of four cars that
were very parked close together.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
With little orange cones around it too.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Oh of course, you know, because that's where they were
supposed to park. They had to park it within the cones.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
I mean, this is one of the craziest looking limos
I've ever seen. I mean, they really outdid themselves here.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
I didn't know this was a thing. I don't even
know when this happened. It looked like it was on
pay per view, but they don't give a date. They
just say January ninety nine. You guys know how many
shows you do.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
This didn't even happen on the show, any show. This
is the first time anyone's seeing this.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
They were running just up. They were recording a bunch
of Austin doing crazy shit and just used only some
of it. Well, we get the Rock town Hall. So
rockets on the mic. The crowds super fucking fired up
for him to take some from to be able to
talk because they're just losing it. And Rock, of course,
that's the finally the Rock has come back to Charlotte.
He should say that on October nineteenth at the Gray

(36:10):
Gulls Center. Yes, Mark Kerr shit and they're in the misfits.
He's general as full.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Si Ass has come back to Charlotte.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
That's us in the back. So Rock says, it's it's
safe to say that the Rock has been through hell
to get where he's at and now looking back at
everything the Triple H and the Commands have put The
Rock through with every pedigree, with every chair shot, with
every pedigree, with every chair shot, the Rock still stands
here today, and the Rock is still going to backlash. Well,

(36:50):
you didn't get hit by a car, so you seem
to be just fine. Everything else is lesser than And
the Rock says, but the Rock Realis is not over yet,
and they still have one more Knight to do what
they can do to take out the Rock. So the
Rock says, this, what type of match are your candy
ass is gonna put the Rock in tonight? Are you
gonna put the Rock in one of those steel cage matches?

(37:13):
Are you gonna put the Rock in one of those
lumberjack matches? Oh? Hell, You'll probably put the Rock in
a Stephanie's dirty panties on a pall match. Ah, why
is that? The Rock coulda go up with any other
match dirty pannies?

Speaker 1 (37:30):
She's easy heat.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
I mean, she's the biggest heat magnet on the show,
which is fucking crazy, Rock says Vince Shane, Stephanie and
Triple h. The Rock says, bring your candy asses out
here right now and bring out the cage, bring out
the lumberjacks, bring out the dirty pennies. The Rock says,
just bring it, and Cole says, all the Rock is
calling out the McMahon Helmsley regime, and Lawler says, and

(37:55):
the dirty Pennies here comes the McMahon elms.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Reason the fuck is going on? Uh?

Speaker 2 (38:02):
And Triple H has a mic and he's with everybody
here and he says, you know, Rack, there are some
pretty good ideas for matches you had there, including the
last one. But you know, Rack, we too have been thinking, uh,
you know, the very same thing the last few days.

(38:25):
I've been thinking about it. Dude, I got someone right now,
what's wrong with you? So Triple AH says, they're trying
to come up with some kind of matches to come
out here and beat the hell out of Rock again.
And we've had some pretty good ideas. Shane is pretty creative,
but I I got to give credit to my darling
and he hugs Stephanie. The crowd of course, Chance slut

(38:46):
because of this. I don't know why, And Triple H says,
to be quite honest, Rack, I personally, I've kicked your
ass so many times I'm starting to get a bit
bored with it. It's the same thing you bow up,
I beat your ass. You bow up, I beat your ass.
It's getting a bit redundant. I'll tell you what, hey man,
it's his creative Why that's a good point. Why don't

(39:08):
we wait until Sunday for me to kick your ass
one more time? You look a bit stressed out. You
see him tense tonight. Maybe you switch a decaf or something.
Take a cue from us. You need to relax. Rack,
Why don't you take the night off. I'm gonna take
the night off. Shane's good at the night off. Vince
has got the night off. How the fuck is this?
Who's running the show? All of that? Dog?

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Yeah, there's only one man left to run this show,
Rack Dog Dog.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
So he just does that, he says, him and Shane
and Vince have off and uh. And then he looks
at road Dog, who is in gear, and road Dog
pantomimes that he has gear on. Fuck well, ro Dog
is in road dog attire, which is a cut off
shirt and sweatpants. Spot. I think he has boots on.

(40:02):
So at the very least he's got the working boots
on or their lugs, boots and shoes, lugs, get them,
he says, I forgot. We're gonna sit back and We're
gonna watch a master at work. And I said, oh my,
the master Dog. We're gonna watch the do O double
G as he destroys one half of the tag champions.

(40:24):
Christian Triple H is setting this matchup staring at the
ring at the Rock, who could not give a fuck
less about what was the Dog is doing.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
I was super super surprised at the Rock holding back
from just burying this ship out of road dogging Christian,
like he said, I gotta watch the dog. He set
up the singles match that just I mean, you could
hear a pin drop when he announced this match in
that arena.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Christian and like they couldn't even fake put sound in
like no one ship and I totally forgot.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
This was the error where everyone in a tag team
on this show was a brother or a cousin, right.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
And that's that was That's the only creative they had
because it worked with the Harty's and then the Dudleys,
so everyone else had to beat to I guess the
Holly Cousins.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Literally everyone that was tagging on the show is like family.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yeah, Taker and Kane end up getting there again. Yeah right, Yeah,
So he's facing Christian and Triple it says, I know
what everyone's thinking. Maybe Christian's brother Edge might get involved
in this match. I promise you know what was thinking
about this.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
I was so confused. You're not even like the GM
or nothing. Just I mean, couldn't you just put road
dog in Christian out there and had the same exact reaction?

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Like, you know, maybe it was the people.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
You know, if they hear that the dog is facing
a Christian later on this show, that maybe they'll tune
in on instead of watching Friends on Thursday. The fuck
is on Thursdays, Dude, I have no idea solve mysteries.
Maybe fucking yeah, anything else the Simpsons reruns on order?

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Yeah, like, yeah, there's something going on he here, we
I know what everyone's thinking. Maybe Christian's brother Edge might
get involved in this match. Well, Edge, you need to
keep your nose out of other people's business. So tonight,
if you want to get involved, they show a shot
of the rock here, he's just pacing. You want to
get involved, you won't have to worry about defending those
tag titles of Backlash because you'll be stripped of those titles.

(42:30):
And the crowd cares so much about this that they
start chanting for The Rock in the middle of him
setting this up, and then Triple H says, and another thing,
we'll strip you o those titles, because if there's one
thing we won't put up with, it's people interfering in
our other people's matches. This like, I feel like they
actually did a disservice to this match by doing that.

(42:51):
They killed this match. Man.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
That shit was so fucking funny. I have to give
it to The Rock. I mean, honestly, maybe he should
have said something because it just it felt like he
was not saying something to be nice about it, and
I feel like the crowd kind of felt that too.
It was just like, all right, we're hands off on
this Red Dog at Christian thing.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Yeah, dude, they The Rock could have said anything.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
They're like, Oh, it doesn't matter if it's Christian Edge,
their brother Gerald, anyone could kick the road Dog's ass.

Speaker 4 (43:24):
Christian, the road Dog, the do O DOUBLEG. That's who's
getting the night on. You want him to have the
night on.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
I'm talking about the World Wrestling Federation title and you're
talking about road Dog and Christian.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
You know what, maybe you should.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
You're looking at me eye to eye and you're talking
about Edge.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
You damn.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
I mean crowd would have egg ship for it though,
I mean like that ship would have been Yeah, that
ship would have been nuclear.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
You're talking about Edge. Fuck.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
You come on the Rock Show and you want to
talk about the road Dog. I'd rather watch Dog.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Well that's not it. Vince has something to say, of course.
Uh So Vince gets on the mic and he says, Rock,
I know you're excited about backlash, and so am I. Rock.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
I know you're excited about Christian versus.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Edge and the Dog. What's the fucking match? Shot?

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Shut up Christian versus Edge?

Speaker 2 (45:11):
I thought it was the dog?

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Shot up sho.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
So it says I'm excited to be in Triple AG's
corner and you, I know you're excited to have Stone
Cold in your corner. Well you should know my son
Shane is very excited about backlash because we're not gonna
have an Earl Hebner situation again. What the fuck they
have all between the screw Job and here. I bet
they did the Earl screwjob spot five times at least

(45:42):
w c W probably did it seven. They did it
seven times this week. I mean they just had like four.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
World title changes.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Today, if you're ready to give it to me, damn
right I did. Vince says that Shane will be the
special guest ref in his match on Sunday. Shane then
does the Rock is smelling the air Ton. That's just
so funny.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
That's a pretty big announcement.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Sure, yeah, not as big as the one before it,
but like it's pretty Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Why was it that the first fucking announcement Triple A said,
let me let me pop off my boys match real quick.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Yeah, like he wanted a business for himself, just to
get the dog a mat. You have the dog a
bone a bone.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
I think the Rocks had just about enough of this segment.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Wow, I can't believe he's never done that. Cut somebody
off at the middle of the segment. Had enough. If
you're some no no, there's more if you're some.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
No no.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
So Vince says, the reason you're all upset and you
called us out here at Scotsy Rock. But it tells
me that you listen to what I said on Monday
wondering about Stone Cold or if he can trust him.
Remember DTA don't trust anybody Rock and Rock, which is
I thought, I don't trust Austin's right there, and they
used that later, but like, I don't know how they

(47:13):
didn't make that connection, did they hear? I think they
use it when he turns oh wow.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
I always just thought it was don't trust anybody.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't trust Austin, don't trust don't.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Trust ass, which is who hit him with a car.
Don't trust ass was also uh.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Warning to the dog that he does not heed. Ever, no,
he continues to give the trade by his favorite thing,
of course, that is the ass. Speaking of don't trust anybody?
What if the Rock told you he spoke with Stone

(47:55):
Cold and Stone Cold didn't want to wait until backlash
huge fucking pop here, Vince has such a confused look
on his face, and Rock says, what if the Rock
told you that Stone Cold was gonna make a special
appearance on the Rock Show smack Down? And I mean,
this is I've never heard Michael Cole this excited in

(48:15):
his life. Michael Cole, I swear top of his lung,
yells oh my god, like he fucking loses his mind,
and Vince says, well, then I call you a damn liar,
Austin whatever show up here to night, couse quite frankly,
Austin doesn't have the tenarity. I didn't know what that meant,

(48:36):
but then he thankfully falls it up. In other words,
Austin doesn't have that grapefruits. And then he says that
with theatrics of she pointing and thrusting his grapefruits that
show up para night and Rock says, ah, for once
into your pathetic life. Wow, to shut your mouth, Vince.
Vince doesn't even get mad here, He just blank stairs

(48:57):
at the Rock when shit's awesome, and Rock says, The
Rock says, just the Rock says, The Rock says, The
Rock said, just like the Rock has Karen Damn ted
to walk out of Backless Champion, The Rock also Karen dantees.
Then Austin is here tonight, and I'm sure people have
seen this gift of Vince on the stage gulping, and

(49:18):
that's what this is from. I was like, Wow, there's
two very big gift moments on the show. That's one
of them, and there's one at the end of the show.
So yeah, Vince is fucking horrified. Lawler goes ah, and
Rock goes if you're some mell and the fucking his
music hits the crowd's going nuts.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
I mean, just the thought of Steve Austin coming back
as this crowd going absolutely abe.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Shit, Austin's the most popular guy this eur like the
Rock was cool. He's not stone cold. It's yeah, it's
not you know, like he was great, loved all. You know,
it was fun. He's over. I was excited to see
the Rock. He's not goddamn else snake. Yeah, you know, like,
come on, come on.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Well, the Rock gets into a car and raises his
eyebrow and rides away and runs over.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Again, so he will not be coming back with the car.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
He hits with the car.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
He gets out, he grabs the mic.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
He looks at the camera and says, and also, tonight
it will be Edge versus Billy gun.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Now now it's just flipping out backstage, pulling us out.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
You can't do that's how I show, he says, Edge
versus Billy Gunn. It cuts the busies.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
That's fucking We can't have two of them. We can't.
A Rock leaves in a limo and like, by all accounts,
you just assume he's done for the night. He's got
They said he could have the night off, so he
took it.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
So d X walks up to the d X Express
and stone cold middle finger foam fingers are on the
DX Express windshield wipers.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
They should have kept those on there for a rainy night.
I bet it would get the rad off very easily.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
If you put those on. It allows you to do
the middle finger time.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Oh dude, you just found that out.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
Yeah on SmackDown it's which one. Shut your mouth, yeah,
shut your mouth.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Mouth in the back. When you put on the foam finger,
you do the guy's thoughts. So you could just do
Austin's middle fingers.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
As like Albert. Yeah, that's funny as shit.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
That's awesome. I think you could do the Hogan tot too,
and maybe a triple h one and yeah, there's a
bunch of them.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
There's well I was playing a mod oh sure, so
there was like a WWE logo one too.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
There was a lot of cool shit on it. Though.
They should mod in a Scotty too hotty warm one
and you do it and you put it.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
That would be cool as fun.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
So, yeah, the Austin pham fingers are on the windshield
of the bus. And she says, oh, this is cute.
What is this? Well, it's phone fingers on a bus
and says, I'm sure Austin put that up there like
he's really here tonight. And then they wave at the
Rocks limo that is leaving at the same time, and
road Dog says, we got your joke. It is very funny.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Shut up, Dog, can't we give you a match?

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Shut up? Shut up? Go get prepared for your match
while you're already in your gear. How'd you even know?
I just always worry this. Vince shotb and Vince says,
you know what to put this, Triple H, And Triple
H says, well, if the Rock comes back, I know
where too, and Vince says, get the girls on the bus.
It's cold, Come on to get on the bus. So

(52:31):
they go back onto the bus for the time beating.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
Well, now it's time for a light heavyweight championship match.
A few days away from a light heavyweight championship match,
I think there's one at Backlash.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Also, same guys, It is the same guys, and it
is a backlash.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
You were correct, Dean malinka versus Scottie too.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Hottie Scotty Taddy is the champion. Cole says, this is
a rivalry that continued on Sunday Night Heat. That goes
to show how much they care about this title. Triple
threat match for a lot Heavyweight title happened on Heat
and Scotty picked up the victory pinning Taka. They don't
mention Taka by name or even mentioned that he's in
this match at all. They just show that he got pinned.
And after the match, Demilo hit Scotty Jodey in the

(53:11):
head with the belt and that could have been enough,
but no, he puts them in the Texas color relief
as well, make some pass out. Yeah, that's true. Heads.
I like that, and Lawler says they they've gotten into
it in the locker room as well, and this has
been a mess. So I was like, oh, they actually
they got some heat here. Okay, I think that Grandmaster
might be hurt. So they were just pushing Scotty as

(53:33):
a singles well until he comes back. Yeah. Are they
not affiliated with Rakishi right now? They're not officially broken
up until Rakishi reveals that he hit stone Hole with
a car.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
Mm sure that would end too cool.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
That's not very cool at all, No, not even a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Really.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
I mean, they could have turned them heel too, I
mean Grandmaster and Scotty. They also a car gran theft sex.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
It shows the footage and Rakishi gets out and then
so does Scotty too haughty and grand that's her sex
and they do the dance over his body the shovel
so Malinko hot starts on him. He beats him down
till Scotty rolls him up for it too. This was
very much just a preview match for the pay per
view for sure, but a surprise ending here. Scotty hits

(54:26):
the running bulldog does the O face and the crowd
is on their feet.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
The face is so maybe I just I mean like
it was funny as a kid, but like watching it
back now he is so into it, like and the
crowd loses their vine.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Yeah, they zoom in on it too.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
Scotty hits the worm with all the theatrics and Malinko
actually sends them to the outside.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Afterwards, he grabs his tights right and yeah, ropes.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
Shit cans them. Scotty tries to sunset flip, but Malinko
sits down and holds the ropes and gets the three,
becoming the new light heavyweight champion.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
You know, there's a name for that move, James that
Malenko did. What is it?

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Face full of stuff?

Speaker 2 (55:09):
That's the Batcave. Oh you know what, dude, it is
the Batcave.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Deeply does the Batcave with the ropes and it were
a title?

Speaker 2 (55:20):
It does work. It didn't work as I mean it
worked whenever Batchian Booker did it. I can't imagine anyone
kicking out of it. But the Batcave successful once again
in the year two thousand. That's very good, made happy. Well,
we go backstage.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
We are here inside the d X Express and Triple
H gets a beep on his pager and it says
three sixteen.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Mmm. So there were, you know, a lot of a
lot of callbacks here to previous Austin Shenaigans. But they
don't believe it, and uh dude, they the first thing
we see was, you know, Shane says, foam finger, what's next?
And Vince just I don't know where it says, I'm
looking forward to the.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Dog's match, right, is everyone here?

Speaker 2 (56:05):
I really am right? Not even the dog is looking
for the dogs man.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
He says that the dog just looks down.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
I don't even I don't know why. The Triple A
just Pagler goes off, as you said, and Triple A says, oh,
three sixteen a very funny. The rock is so creative.
Foam fingers page and me three sixteen and Vince just
give me that. He takes the pager, he looks at it.
I gotta tell you, guys, I don't think Austin's here tonight,
but I got a funny feeling about tonight. And she says,
you're letting rockets to your head, and Vince's no, not

(56:35):
I rock into my head. I get in the rocks
head for a living. Not just that kind of funny feeling.
I mean, like you should have a funny feeling. You
just said you look forward to the Dogs match.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
I loved him looking at the pager with the reading
glasses on.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
I thought that was funny. You ha to see it.
Three sixteen must have been a sign for how long
he wants that match to go.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
If you multiplied it about like three, that's what the
time they were given was. They had to fill it
with extra shit afterwards.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
So we go backstage.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
Crashes backstage with his huge scale uh sulking because he
lost the hardcore title.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Yeah, he's upset, and cousin Bob walks up. Bob hardcore,
Uh walks up and cousin, Bob hardcore is I like
foundationous corporal. So the Bob walks up and he says.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
I mean this guy was Taylor made to be in
the fucking mi I A man.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
That's I mean there was. He almost went to w
CW and.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
That's where he would have been with the m I
A and Cat Johnson.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
So the Bob walks up and he says, what's the
matter now? Crash crashes, Oh, man, I lost a hardcourt
title meant everything to me. And Bob says, look, just
because you lost a Hordcord title and you can't get
a girlfriend and you still collect beanie babies doesn't make
you any less of a man. It crashes the beanie
babies were a gift, cousin, and Bob says, okay, let's go,
and Lawler says, beauty babies.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Beanie babies are already getting a heat in two thousand
and that's not I know.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
I know, man like, and that's all. That's the worst
thing you could do, not have a girlfriend and collect
beauty babies is your scum of the earth.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
It shows a pre tape where tris Stratus is in
Sexy Lingerie telling Bubbaret Dudley how much tables turn her on.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
Yeah, dude, I mean like this is nuts. This is
some legendary shit. Hear and she says, they come in
all shapes and sizes. There's long ones, those are fun
and uh, the most important part of any table is
its legs. Up keeper is a very important and the
most important one is the center leg. What fucking table?
What fucking tables? Like she got the just the one,
just the one leg tape. I feel like she was

(58:44):
implying a lot about a dick here.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
I didn't get that.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Oh okay, maybe I was off kilter there, my apologies. Yeah,
it's okay, okay, no problem. So she says, the look
in the field of the table depends solely on the
way one decides to rub it down after it's been used.
And the one thing they have in common is that
they are very They have to be hard, which has
nothing to do.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
With a cock and no, it's just mahogany tables. You
make them more rounescape sometimes right well, TNA with tris
Stratus versus Hardcore Holly and crash Holly, known as the
Holly Cousins.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Tests and Albert are both out here, and you know
they're a tag team because they both wear glasses.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Dude, Albert with the little glasses is an all timer.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
Look for me, they are little glass Okay, I think
that's is that his just bring it picture Albert and
the glasses or what. He's definitely in a game with
the glasses.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
That's right, it's the one with the square. I don't
remember which one that is.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Maybe that's smack down two then yeah, maybe smack they
get smacked too, Yeah, I mean little glasses. Test also
wearing little glasses, which is a rarer variant. I feel like,
I don't know why he felt they need to wear
somehow smaller glasses than Albert.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
They should have got the Oakley two thousand Conan glasses.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
Christians are those on this show. They can't do it too.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
I keep forgetting These guys are called t and A right,
not t N t N. Why the fuck wouldn't they
be called TNA.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
Maybe the joke, maybe standards and practices would have been
like no way, we just.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
Had Trish Stratus in our lingerie talking about getting a
table all crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
I mean, what's wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
Nothing's wrong with it. That's why I'm saying, why isn't
their name DNA.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Well, there's there's no N in the group. It's just
Test and Albert.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
I mean they call him t NA.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Yeah, I legit think it had to have been a
standards of practices thing like they must have said, dude,
you cannot your name can't be tits and ass like
it has to be tits ands.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
And Russo said, let me try what if we called
a group sex.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
That was on pay per view?

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
So Tests and hardcore Holly start things off here. I
gotta say I love the Holly cousins, little panty shaped
tiny pants.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Always thought they re Trett. That's great. I also love
that they're allegedly well over eight hundred pounds. And I
love that Crash Holly also weighed that in the New
Mersey game.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Dude, I love that he just brings the scale everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
We believe you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Yeah, well, Crash tags in and starts kicking Test ass.
He hits a Tornado DDT for a two here, look great.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
I don't want you to skip by the part where
Test countered and Irish from Bob Holly and Hit cuts
like a knife.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
That's not shit, That's why I was getting buried.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Give me that, you don't do that move.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
So test stuff some with the power bomb for a
two that we don't see because we were looking at Trish, right,
and we are looking at Trish and then we are
looking at Bubba and Deva looking at.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
This is a tape show, right, and they still fuck
them up harder.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
Holly comes in and starts taking it to Albert fucking
creams him with a drop kick.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
It looked, dude, he fucking's with a dropkick and lands
in a pin.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Yeah, I mean, there is nothing better than just a
good drop kick. I mean, if you're a wrestler, just
get a good dropkick. Good fundamental zone gets you everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
That's Ryan Clancy's got a beautiful dropkick.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Oh it's wonderful.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Yeah, Bob.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Holly starts going up, but Crash wants to get tagged in,
so he gets down and tags him.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Spot my spot.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
So Crash goes up and misses a splash and it
is so fucking funny the way they film this. I
mean he is just arms out and just misses.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Completely enthusiastic time you'll ever see and he just I mean,
nobody at the pool.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Yeah, it was awesome hardcore. Holly comes in and literally
just stands over top of him after he misses splash
and says, what the hell you screwed it up?

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
You fucking set up a bitch, And then out of nowhere,
Test comes in and hits him with a big boot
in the head.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Albert then hits a gorilla press driver and Test follows
it up with an elbow drop from the top rope
for the wind.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Test was not tagged in. Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, don't
look too much into it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
The Dudley's come from behind TAA.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
On the ramp and not t Please get that right.
I don't want to confuse anyone at home. The Dudley's
come from behind and it's the end. I'll get you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
So they get attacked from behind by the Dudleys with chairs.
Bubba then grabs Trish by the hair and throws in
the ring.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
Bubba hits fucking Tests in the back of a chair.
Devon gets all the way around Albert in the front
so he can hit him in the head with the chair.
What do you fucking do that for?

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
He was seeing if you had the little glasses on.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
He didn't with the chair. Bubba has Trish and he
drags her in the ring and the crowd's fucking fired up.
Devon gets the table. They set it up in the ring.
They're gonna a fucking power bomb or through this table,
and Bubba sets up in the corner. Drags are up top.
The Devon loads Trish up onto his shoulders power bomb position,

(01:04:19):
and he doesn't go because Chris Trish starts caressing his
head and Trisha is kissing his head and that stops
Bubba from doing the power bomb. And Bubba just sits
there and he starts to let her down, and Devon's upset.
He says, ah, go on, and then Test comes in
and running big foods divon uh, and then Tests drags

(01:04:42):
Trish down. Bubba's in his trance. He's horny his ship.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
This is not the right trance, but that's fine, Like yeah,
what like this is?

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
This is?

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
This is before they were clever with it. Bubba just
gets really horny and just forgets what's going on. This
is the original trance. Tris got put up in a
power bomb position and kissed Bubba on the head and
said it's t and A and Bubba just went into
a crazy chrance. He said, I thought it was t NA,
and then she also says road Dog's up clean the night.

(01:05:19):
That's what really put him in. I guess who Christian
t se.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Yeah, they fucking bring Trish down. Bubba's in his trance.
Albert points at him and fucking talk shit and it shows,
you know, Trish getting away. The next shot you see
is Albert double goozling him and hitting her at ten
thirty one through the day. That was awesome. It was
sick as fuck. Albert is awesome. These above these guys,
T and A are a great team, and yeah, I

(01:05:57):
enjoyed them very much.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Well we go backstage, Vince and DX are here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
I Manhummes the regime please, Yeah, that's what I say.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
I wrote down d X the whole time. But I
guess they are the big man Helmsley regime. Vince says
they should start a search party.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
Mm, which you know I'm assuming this is after the
other time there was a search party that DX did
for Austin and Rode. Dog got gott in a bear trap,
the largest bear trap of all time. So Triple Ah says,
Vince got calmed down and trible. He says there's no
reason we freaked out about this. And Vin says, I
know he's not here, but I want to cover all

(01:06:39):
of our bases. Let's go on a little search party
type thing. That's how he describes it, little search party
type thing. And Shane says, you're totally letting the rocket
in your brain and trible. He says, all right, if
it makes you better, we'll do it. I'll go with
the girls, and you two go together. Triple Aha has
no intention to look at Rostin. Just wanted to go
with the girls. So Vince and Shane go down the

(01:07:00):
hallway and then stops Shane and he gives him a look,
and he tells him be quiet, and he's he's pointing
over to another room and he starts talking. He says, well,
nothing's up. We're fine, Shane. Everything's cool. We'll just chill out.
Then he walks up to green pipe and drape which
is just in the hallway, just splitting in the hallway,
of course, and he holds it and he gives Shane

(01:07:23):
the iggy and he opens the curtain and Shane Vince
just get him, get a cop shine, get up, Shane,
And I mean, like immediately you could see this is
a cardboard cut out on the c and Vince cow
Ga Shane. Shane not only runs in punches the cutout
in the head to break it. Shane then, after punching cardboard,
starts kicking its ass like it's awesome. And it's not

(01:07:45):
until she Vince says Shannon's cardboard that Shane stops and
realizes that it's cardboard. Yeah, I love this.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
I thought this was awesome, a good callback, bought a
good callback tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Great.

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
Shane's fucking freaking out, I mean all freaked out.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Dude, I'm tired of game's coming off. Freaked out. I
mean he Vincent, I damn cardboard cut out. That son
of a bitch got us again. I mean, like the
the ability of this group to to be the butt
of the joke is really what makes this ship. So
we got backstage.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Stephanie is walking and Kirk comes up and scares her.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
Ah, Kurt says, hit, sorry, stephan didn't mean to scare you.
I've been looking all over for you. You know this
movie Gladiator. I'm sure this thing's gonna be a big hit.
I mean, Steven Spielberg Oscar Winner, you know he no
Oscar winner Steven Spielberg. He's personally invited me to attend
the world premiere, so I'm gonna have to miss next
week for off. That's okay with you? And step says, yeah,
that's fucking fine. That's nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
Hey, this was a Spike TV classic. I don't know
how many times they replayed Gladiator, but it was a lot.
I've seen that movie like five hundred thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
Times, come on before Raw or after Raw.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
Yeah, during the day on the weekends. I mean, you're
gonna get fucking Star Wars episode one and fucking Gladiator,
like this is what it's all about.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
She says, Hey, you haven't buy any chance seen s
don't you know, have you? And Kurt says, I've I've
never met the guy, which is crazy. I was like,
is that true? Like Kurt and Austin haven't interacted yet,
but I guess Kurt hasn't been here for long at
this point.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
No, because Taz is still in the singlet Holy shit too.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
Yeah, that just happened January. You can follow Kurt's career
also by just following Taz's career. It's very similar or
not similar, but you know there's points in time where
you can pinpoint. Uh So, Curt says, I've never met
the guy about Austin. He says, I'm sure he's a
big fan. I'd love to meet him. Very fun. No,

(01:09:44):
you do not want to meet him. Please stay cherish,
you stay away from. Steph says you haven't seen him,
and Kurt says no. But also one thing, you know
what you did for me last morning, and that can
you do the same the night And Steph says yeah, sure, sure,
what no problem, and churts, O, thank you so much.
He leaves, and Stephanie turns away and Kurt's down the
hallway and Kirk goes whoa, and Stephanie fucking jumps horrified.

(01:10:08):
And that's again, like I mean, Kurt and Stephanie have
a great chemistry from here until fucking I mean he's gone.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
I guess, yeah that's true. I mean they are pretty
much linked at the hip for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's always fucking good shits here.
And he even here like early kurd angle days, where
you know you would think that this is him still
trying to figure it out, but even I mean, he
can't even be a year in here and he's already
like fucking one of the top most entertaining guys on
the show. Yeah for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
SmackDown is brought to you by Phone Free dot Com
free long distance calls over the Internet.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
That's that was made me feel old as shit. I
hate it hearing that. I was like, oh wow, long
distance calls like one, we're a fucking you know, a
big problem that needed to be solved, and two calls
over the Internet like we're just starting to be a thing. Yeah, so, uh,
phone Free dot Com.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
It was also brought to you by Star Wars Episode one,
Jedi Power Battles for PlayStation. Use your Jedi lightsaber to
ward off evil minions from the dark side of the
Star Wars Galaxy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
From Lucas Arts, I won't be doing that balls yet.
Did you ever play that one? No, I actually do.
I'm actually not a Star Wars head like at all.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
My dad was super into it, so like I was,
I was also in the Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
And I don't mean to disrespect the history, you know,
not that I have the dog want to prove it
no valid to dog. I want to you know, did
you show your dad the game?

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
Well, I mean so when this came out, I was
super young. I don't remember if it was this one
or not. I remember playing one on PlayStation though, and
I remember it was like the first level. I played
it over and over and over again. I was young,
so I didn't really understand video games too much until
I got into Xbox and stuff. But yeah, I just remember.

(01:12:04):
I don't know if it was this one, but I
remember there's a Star Wars game I played, and I
would play the first level over and over and over again,
and it was one where the roll droids, though I
don't know what they're called, the droids that roll in
and then they come up and they have two guns,
and I would just always struggle right there. When I
was a kid, I'm like, god, fucking damn it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
We'd get off and then I would get back on
and try to beat it again.

Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
Okay, so I have not a similar one, but like,
I have a memory of not being able to get
past a part of a game and just giving up
on it. It was fucking It was one of the
turn Raider games on PlayStation. There was a part where
there's like it's like water outside of a mansion and
you have to try to either I think it's getting
side or you have to climb up the side of
the building. I remember there's being big fucking brick things
in my way and I couldn't figure it out forever.

(01:12:48):
I think I rented it from Blockbuster. I was like, well,
fucking this pissing me off. Yeah, I even I you
know what. I fucking remember asking my dad to try
it out because he would play games with me, and
I was like, hey, can you like, I don't know
what's going on here, Like did you do this?

Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
Yeah, dude, dumb bastard with the puzzles?

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
Yeah, yeah, I want to play State of Emergency and
shoot sit up. I'm not trying to solve a puzzle.
And of course, Bally Fitness, yeah what, we don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
Yeah, I mean, I'm fat.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
It's not nearly as cool as free long distance calls
over the internet or a PlayStation game. Sorry, Bally Fitness.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
Hell No, snacks were popping in two thousand and they
were only getting better.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
I mean, don't even get me started when they release
Mountain Duvault. I mean started when they started releasing Dorito's
Triangles three D style.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Oh my god, remember the butterfinger bites, the little Circle
Johns or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
Yeah, the Yeah, the circles, Yeah, the bbs. You get
them at the movie theater.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Oh my god. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
So we have Chris Jericho and Taz versus Crispin Wa
and Perry Saturn.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
On paper, what I fucking match? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
I mean Taz is here in singlet full entrance a
rarity for us.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Really, what do you think of test Spiro.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
Where it comes out the ground all soft dick.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Because I didn't expect that, Like it's yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
I'll take it, man, It's better than his presentation later on.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Okay, so I legit wrote down. Oh Taz still has pyro,
so they care about him for the time being. Yeah. Right,
even he comes out and says, oh, you know Taz
is a former champion.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Okay, I think you just got dog walk by Triple h.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
Yeah, like, didn't you beat him Waller or do you
beat him soon?

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Well? This has very much Raven and Saturn versus Horse
and Canyon Vibe.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
For sure. I was thinking that many peopore thinking actually
like they were, they were actually looking for some inspiration
and they went for w CW after eight weeks of
shitty shows.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
Anyone our Patreon or anyone that wants to be in
the future. You can yourself watch Raven and Perry Saturn
versus Horse Hogan and Chris Canyon, and everyone says it's
one of the greatest matches of their lives. They've never
seen one better.

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
There's somehow Nitro had millions of viewers and you could
be one of a few thousand that see this match.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
Well, Jericho and Saturn start things off here. Saturn hits
Jericho with a flapjack. Jericho goes for the walls, but
uh ben Wa hits them with the icy belt when
the ref gets distracted.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
I thought I loved jit was like, oh wow, this
match is over already, Like they fucking let this go here.
By the way, So Jericho and Benoit have a match
for the Interconinal title at Backlash and tazz in. Perry
Saturn's connection here is that they both are going for
the twenty four to seven hardcore title at the pay
per view that anyone can go for. Fuck yeah, why

(01:15:55):
wouldn't you want that?

Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Or some easy picking?

Speaker 1 (01:15:59):
Right, still gets same championship pay day, Right.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
That's a fucking great question. I actually don't know if
that was ever brought up. Yeah, probably not, No, but
that's a great I mean they should have. Yeah, it
would make a lot more sense.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Term Land should go forward to that point.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
Why would you not go for you? Like Crash must
be a millionaire.

Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
He got like an infinity amount of championship. Hey days,
they had to keep giving him it when he kept
winning it. Joey Tabs might have won it there once.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
Dress as a clown not the ICP by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Well, the ref turns around and Ben Wah goes back
to his corner and kicks the belt out of the ring,
which I thought was cool that Jericho HiT's a flying
desperation line on Perry Saturn here and gets the.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Tag to Taz does.

Speaker 1 (01:16:50):
Taz comes in, he goes for the head and arm
taz Plex, but Perry Saturn gets out until Taz catches
him with the Northern Lights.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
I'm sad that they didn't continue to call everything a
tazlex here. Like I understand, it's fun.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
It was built for you, buddy, it's right here, you know, Like, but.

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
Like just every suplet's just call it tasplex like that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
Also, we get edged on this head and arm Tasplex
and wwe every single time we watched this guy. He
knows this shit's awesome. We know it's awesome, and we
never get to see it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
No one wants to take it for some reason.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Perry Saturn absolutely he would have taken off the top
road to the floor.

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
Well that's why Perry wasn't in, you know, in charge
of his matches.

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
Taz and Perry Saturn would go double triple platinum for
me on the SmackDown games. I'm doing this match every
day when I get on, like this is this is
the supplex match for me.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
Two, i mean, two of the best video game move
sets ever.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Dude, super underrated. Like you have to be some real
gamers to know that Taz and Saturn have like the
most fun move sets in those Yeah, kill.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
You like there's you know, they were never in the
games high enough that like their moves like it's backed
on two, especially.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
Everyone that logs on right they're playing Steve Austin or whatever.
But Taz and Saturn got this souplexes, yes, sir, come on.
Saturn hits a belly of back and tags to Ben
Wah Ben win. Saturn then hit cutting the cheese, but
with the King Kong knee drop instead.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
You know what's funny is you know, I know someone
else does this.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
I just couldn't remember it. Okay, I have annoying Like
I was trying so hard to figure out who does
this move and what to call it, and I didn't
write anything. The last thing I thought it was cutting,
like they don't deserve They don't deserve that. Yeah, maybe
someone can remind us of someone else that does this

(01:18:48):
finger knee drop not the nasty.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
Place backbreaker really anything? Yeah, leg drop, knee drop doesn't matter. Yeah,
cutting the cheese. That's Steve Blackman and Al Snow's finisher.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
That's fucking insane.

Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
Yeah, I mean they're in that sho Hey, you know
Steve Blackman, Ali Snow, they're in that shit.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
I mean you gotta give him that. Saturn kills Taz
on this.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
By the does this move is fucking awesome?

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
He yeah. Like I like deb was here watching with me,
and like she's playing on her phone and I had
to rewind. I said, you look at this. It was
insane looking.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Well, Ben Wag is the crppler crossface on Taz, but
Jericho breaks it up. Jericho then hits a bulldog, but
Saturn breaks it up. Taz locks in the taz mission
on Saturn and they fall to the outside.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
Yeah, that was cool. I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Ben Wad then knocks Saturn off the apron when Jericho
whips them to the ropes, and then Jericho catches him
with the Lion Salt to pick up the win.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
And they said it here. And I don't know if
he only just started using this here or something, but
Cole on commentary says, he calls this the Lion Salt,
which makes me think he had him in doing it.
He was they were just calling it the Luther Salt,
which I mean, you know, shout out to the o G.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
I mean, gotta give that guy his props. I mean,
he was the one that came up with it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
I mean it changed Jericho's career, Like that's one of
his fucking big moves, and like Luther's my goat.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
So he got backstage. Shane' sees a bunch of beer
cans outside the door. As Triple Ace walks up.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
He says, wait, dude, this is funny as ship, like
a this is straight out of a goddamn Elmer carton.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
This might be my favorite one of the evening.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
It's awesome. Yeah, it's funny. Shane is Yeah, like you said,
he's at the door now and waiting for Tripley, he says,
and then he opens the door and he rushes in
and you can hear beer cans getting just demolished. They're
all over the fucking place. Triple che runs behind him
and turns on light and the camera comes in. You
see Shane laying in a bottle of beer cans. And

(01:20:57):
Shane looks around and he's serving. The scene is once
he's he's laying on He says, damn, damn it, I'm
He gets up and he's kicking cans all over the
place and it's making just the best noise ever in
Triple h pixeling up and he spikes it and he says,
Austin like a like a real villain getting forwarded.

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
So now it's time for the future of the evening.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
No, no, it is not.

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
It's like there's so many other matches under Dog. That's
what you would always say when he came out.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
There's one. Well, there's big stipulations too as well. Road
Dog versus Christion of Edge interferes. Edge and Christian are
stripped of the tag titles Edge, Edge.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
You're talking about Edge.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
Cole also says road Dog demanded that Tory stay in
the back because on raw Christian dropped her on her head.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
I don't In my head, I was like, wow, what
I'm assuming it was the end prettier, but like in
my head, I was like, oh, he fucking hit her
with like the awful woffle or something. Oh that been awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
How about a head an arm tas plack?

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
No, I mean, why Taz isn't doing it? Might as well.

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
Well, Christian comes through the crowd and him and road
Dog start fighting on the outside.

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
Of the ring. Immediately the dog attacks him.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
Well, Christian Crotch's road Dog on the barricade and he
heads inside. Christian baseball slides road Dog and then hits
a triangle cross body to the outside.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
They get back in the ring here and like, this
is the only time I saw her on the whole show.
I don't know if they try to avoid it or what,
but like six dudes in the front row hold up
a big DX sucks. Yeah, dude, it's large.

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
They definitely told them to not hold that up.

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
Yeah, you can do it during the DX match and
that's it. Well, there's only one.

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
There's also a sign which I thought was funny that
said Poncho three sixteen Stold has a cat named Poncho nowadays.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
Oh shit, that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Road Dog catches Christian with a line out of mid
air and gets a two. Yeah, yeah, that was cool.
You know, cats Jack wouldn't make that look a hard
or ties better, but I guess we'll take the dog
version does. Christian hits a reverse DDT off the second
for a double down. Christian then fucking nails road Dog
with a flying shoulder tack.

Speaker 2 (01:23:27):
Well, that was awesome. It made a crazy sound too.
Even commentary said, whoa, what the fuck? Yeah, dude, he
really nailed him.

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
Christian follows up with a sitout goardbuster for a two,
and then road Dog hits the pump handle slam and wins.

Speaker 2 (01:23:42):
Okay, I was so so confused. He didn't cheat at all,
Like I guess he hot started outside, but other than that,
he didn't do a single thing to try to cheat
the wind. He just wins with his move out of
nowhere too. What yeah? Right? Like, why the fuck were
they worried about edge interfering or anything here? Like the
dog whooped his ass and then she super not here

(01:24:09):
so much so that road Dog wins clean with pump
anels slam. No theatrics. By the way, he didn't fuck
his ass.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
He just hits them with the move out of respect
because they were gonna tear this place down.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
Then road Dog kicks Christian's ass after the match and
punches the ref in the head. He kicked christians ass
so much on the outside, throws him in the stairs.
Refs come and break it up. He just he's just
the road Dog is a beast. What the fuck? Like,
why where's Edge?

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
I thought this show was funny too, because there's a
dude in the crowd with a little green alien. He's
been trying to get on camera all night.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
That's funny. He's popping all crazy in the background of this.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
Yeah, it's awesome. The refs come out and pull him off.
Yet Lily and Garcia says the raft reversus a decision,
road Dog is, buddy, you just beat this ship out
a Christian and like, god, they why did they do
this like this?

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
Why didn't they have road Dog cheat? And then like
the satisfying part is the decisions reversed. He won fair
and square and then beat him up some more. He
beat his ass.

Speaker 1 (01:25:17):
Then he beat his ass, and then the announcement comes
out that there the decision has been reversed, and then
they cut away. All right, well, yes, I'll forget that happened.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
Rod was super surprised. They say the winner is Christian.
It cuts the road dog and he says, why what what?
Like he of course, even when he wins, he's a
dumb ass idiot. If only mister ass was here.

Speaker 1 (01:25:52):
So you go backstage. Steph says that Kurt Angle scared
the hell out of her earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:25:58):
Yeah, so they're all together backstage here and Vinceys Shane
calm down, and Shane looks at him says, I'm not
calming down. Step says, currently just ski the hell out
of me. And then Tory runs up, Uh Tory. I
guess some people might not know. This is not Tory Wilson.
This another Tory. Uh Tory one r one, I one

(01:26:22):
not her. So Tory wands up and she whispers and say,
I found him. I found him. He's under our noses.
So then she guides them through the hallway back to
the green pipe and drape that we previously saw earlier.
I don't know if we were supposed to forget about
this or what happened to here. But we go to
the back to the green pipe and drape, and you
can hear beyond the pipe and drape, which is also

(01:26:44):
a door. Uh here you can hear the fucking w
BF aggression Stone Corner, which we are left to believe
that Stone Cold is in a closet that's listening to
the rap of his these songs.

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
Badass, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
It's loud as ship too. We can hear through the door.
So Triple Edge concocts a plan. He says, you open
the door and will.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
Kick his ass, A very good plan, good player, Triple
counts it down.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
Vince opens the door and they rush in. But it's
just a JVC kom boom box playing the song. I
mean that ship sounds awesome though, Like, yeah, for real,
I don't think Alston ever on this.

Speaker 1 (01:27:23):
Yeah, that was a big deal back in the day.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
That just triggered like, wow, that's unbelievable, that's awesome. Sadly, this,
I mean, it doesn't have anti skip in the form
of it being thrown directly on the ground. Sadly, Yeah,
Triple Ah throws it straight on the ground.

Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
And these big ass batteries from out of this playing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:48):
Did they do like a cinematic shot of the batteries
like it was the the JBC KU boom box bleeding out? Yeah?
Why I wish Stone Cold would have came out to
this song one time. It would have made me very happy.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
He was tested it behind the doors here, see if
you liked it or not. He said, give me the
distarb version. I like this other song, he says, No, Mommy,
specifically this partly.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
Can we put this song on his shoun Oh, Steve,
I don't think, Steve, this is.

Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
Ridiculous what you're asking.

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
I mean, I want glass shatters?

Speaker 1 (01:28:27):
And then it goes no, mommy, Steve Wiscott to let
you go?

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
Why why? Oh? But you could have a group on
this show called t n A.

Speaker 1 (01:28:43):
Alright, Steve s t and ah. Why that's how I
came up with the white gimmick.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
General kept blowing his mind. Next, you're gonna tell me
the road dogs on this show?

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
Jeve rod Dogs in a feature Evening featured well now
it's sign for the kurd Angle town Hall. Kurt Angle
comes out here and says he feels sorry about the
big show.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
Yeah, he says, many feel I hate the Big Show.
I don't hate anybody. I feel sorry for the Big Show.
You know, talk about a talented man seven feet tall,
five hundred pounds, and he lets all that tone go
to waste. And let me put it in terms that
even all of you can understand. I guess you can
understand this, James. It's like the Charlotte Hornets. They're a
very talented bunch, but they're not going anywhere. They're not
going to accomplish anything, much like the Atlanta Braves. He

(01:29:42):
said that here, he says, I know as us.

Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
I don't think so, Buddy oh nine two thousand. Maybe
you have it with the Charlotte Hornets, later to be
renamed the Charlotte Bobcats and then later to be renamed
again with the Charlotte Hornets. Right well, Kurt Angle and
Big boss Man and Bull Buchanon are gonna team up

(01:30:13):
to take on Big Show.

Speaker 2 (01:30:15):
And okay, were you I'm assuming you were just as
confused as I was during the entrances like Kurt comes out,
Bossman and Bowlby Canon come out, I said, okay, six Man,
tag uh Rikishi and Big Show come out. And then
the match begins and I was very confused.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
Yeah, I mean I thought it was a tag and
then yeah, handicap. I guess sure, it don't matter.

Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
None of this matters. Big Show comes out to his
wrap theme from w FF Aggression Stone Cold Better get
a clue, and he does the Scott Hall walk again.
He gyrates on the apron and then I wrote, wait,
this is a handicap match.

Speaker 1 (01:30:53):
Okay, well, Kurt runs at Big Show, but Big Show
goozles his head and fucking head bots him.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
Bullby Canan and Bossman threw Kurt at him. This is
a fucked up due so Bull Buchanan, why you say
like that? Pleuts some respect?

Speaker 3 (01:31:10):
Like, what did Bull Mechanon do to you, Bull Buchanon? Right,
b can't you can't.

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
Bob Buchanan throws Rakeshi into the steps on the outside.
Boss Man and B Squared then start putting the bricks
to him.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
Dude, Bobby Canon picks the stairs up and hits Rakishi
with them on the floor.

Speaker 1 (01:31:36):
Yeah I didn't see any of that really, Yeah it
wasn't looking. You just stop watching.

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
Yeah, that's all get Ship Canon, Like he's just fucking
put in some honest work here.

Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
Bull By Cannon hits that axe kick. Yes, he did
do that on the Big Show.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
It looked good. He got some hyke come on, like, yeah,
I know, I think it's cool. Yeah all right, all right,
yeah oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
So Big Show fights up and Rakeshi uses the steps
on Bull by cannon on the outside.

Speaker 2 (01:32:20):
Yes, that's true. They both did it to each other.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
So Big Show hits a kick and then Rakeishi backs
that ass up.

Speaker 2 (01:32:29):
Now, I don't know if you noticed here, Rakeshi is
quite so yeah, Bull, Rakeshi a little a little somber,
you know, he's you know in the post what Well,
we don't know that yet, but that's I think that's
what they probably told him. Hey you gotta maybe, which
is funny. Ship. They said, hey, maybe you should be

(01:32:49):
a little like something seems a little off with you,
but you should still put your ass in his face
and do the dance after no problem, got it, boss.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
He backs that ass up on Bull, and Bull is
putting but his hands up like the sign from earlier.
So Big Show, it's the show stopper on Bull, and uh,
when's the.

Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
Like what I'm just reading as it lies, he does
do the show stopper.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
That's true, Rakishi gives Big Show the Yellow Glasses to dance.
The boss Man attacks them from behind with a night stick.
No dancing.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
He clocks them both with a night stick. The crowd's
not happy about this, and then all three guys starts
stomping out Big Show and Rakishi. There will be no
funhead here, especially with Bulby Cannon around. Damn dam d
d d D.

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
I mean that is I mean, look, you say that's
that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:33:49):
Yeah, we've talked about it, but that I still get
no mercy PTSD.

Speaker 1 (01:33:53):
Yeah, I mean the acolytes music hits. You're getting your
ass whopoped. I mean you just better be ready to
get your ass whopped.

Speaker 2 (01:33:59):
I mean that's all.

Speaker 1 (01:34:01):
Yeah. They come down here and they start kicking Bull
Buchanan's ass and boss Man specifically buy cannon as boss
Man got away. In the version, I was watching my head.

Speaker 2 (01:34:15):
That flicks.

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
Well, Rakey, she gets up after the Acolytes make the save.
Keep in mind that the Acolytes made the save here
because Kurt Angle asked the Acolytes to help him beat
up RAKEYI and Big Show. They said no, and Bull
Buchanan and boss Man said sure, and then they got pissed,
and they came out at taking my money. Well, rakey,

(01:34:38):
she gets up with the glasses on and stops the
Big Show from leaving the ring, and rakey, she grabs
the glasses he gave to a Big show earlier and
puts them on Big Show and the lights go out
and Big Show starts working.

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
Honey, I mean this is ridiculou. They both got could
cussed with a night stick, and they still needed to
get up and dance.

Speaker 1 (01:35:08):
It's only light in my life, buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
We have to dance.

Speaker 1 (01:35:12):
If we don't dance, why did we come out here?

Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
Big Show is going for it too well.

Speaker 1 (01:35:17):
We go backstage, Triple H and Shane run into the
men's room and attack a bald man and cameo pissing
that is not stone cold?

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
Like you what the fuck? Bald a cao just at
the urinal taking a piss and Shane and Triple H
just happened? Were they both going like did they get
the iggy that a bald guy was pissing? Or like
did they walk by and see, like how did they
know to do this? Oh? I have no idea. Yeah,

(01:35:51):
they do it. They run in here and they attack
this dude piss and cock all out. That sucks. Man

in a stall and then Shane grips him up and
he looks at him and he says, who the hell

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):

He says, you you're fired. You're fucking get the fuck

cock out pussy runs out of the bathroom. So he
gets attacked while working and gets fired.

Speaker 2 (01:36:42):
Because he looks like a stone code. That sucks. Yeah,

of him here. Instead they got rid of him. Well.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
Yeah that's true. I mean they all Perry Saturn Taz
are also there, and Jeff at the swanton him crash
and Matt got the cover and he won the hardcore
title here?

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
Did you think it was weird that Bull Buchanan was
not there? Does he not want to win the hardware title?

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
Anytime that I am watching WWF, I'm wondering, where's Bull Buchanan.

Speaker 1 (01:37:34):
If he's not there, you should be questing.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
That's true? That is true. I mean he's got enough money. Okay, yeah,
he's a you know, a correct Yeah. Well we go back. Well,
I don't know if that makes you a lot of money,
but you know hot in two thousand. Yeah, that's true.

(01:37:58):
Well we go backstage.

Speaker 1 (01:37:59):
Out Snow and Steve Blackman are here, and uh, Steve
Blackman is pissed that Alf Snow is coming to the
ring dressed up as like Easter bunnies and shit.

Speaker 2 (01:38:08):
And a pimp. Yea, Alice says, look, man, I don't
bother me, but we can reconcile this. You were right,
I was wrong. Let's do it your way and let's
get back together. See Buggs is forget it, Like, no way,
you come in the ring dressed like a pimp, got
someone coming the ring and a bunny off it. I
can't stand it. Anymore, you're a lunatic. And that says,
all right, I agree, but I can be serious. I

(01:38:31):
could be just as serious as you, and I think
we could be a serious threat together. And Steve Blackman says,
how do you expect me or anyone to take you
seriously when you walk around talking to a damn head?
Your pathetic? It's over and Steve Blackman leaves and Al
Snow is left staring into the void. What can Al
Snow be up to next? Where is? It's what's on

(01:38:56):
al that's on Head's mind as well.

Speaker 1 (01:39:02):
So we have Jeff Hardy versus Matt Hardy hardcore title match.

Speaker 2 (01:39:06):
Yes, hardcore title online. They both do separate entrances, but
they play the Hardy theme song through both of them,
which I thought was cute. Yeah. I like that Matt
comes out here with a trash can full of weapons.

Speaker 1 (01:39:16):
I love that he's more prepared for this match.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
Obviously Jeff didn't do anything with weapons at all.

Speaker 1 (01:39:22):
Don't blame him. Yeah, So Matt hands Jeff a cookie
sheet and he drops it for some reason, and Matt
takes a trash can lid.

Speaker 2 (01:39:30):
It hits him as hard as he can. He tried
to make a fair but Jeff's Jeff didn't really understand
the concept. I guess yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:39:37):
It just just fucking drops the weapon and Matt unleashes
a trash.

Speaker 2 (01:39:42):
Can with it's so hard it gets He gets a
two count on it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:48):
So Jeff throws Matt into a cookie sheet in the
corner and then hits him with the trash can lid
again for two. Jeff Hardy hits a leg drop with
a broom between his legs for two.

Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
Dude, that was awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:39:59):
Yeah, he got really high up there too.

Speaker 2 (01:40:01):
He I mean, this whole matches him, just getting as
much height as possible on everything.

Speaker 1 (01:40:07):
So Perry Saturn comes down the ramp, Matt puts Jeff
in a trash can, headfirst in a tree of woe,
and then Drop kicks the trash can.

Speaker 2 (01:40:17):
Which I was like, Wow, that's pretty fucking cool until
I saw what he does after.

Speaker 1 (01:40:21):
Matt then goes up and hits a moonsaw on Jeff
who is in the trash can, and lands right on
his head.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
It crushes this fucking trash can. I don't know, like,
I don't know the magic behind this. I can't see
a world where that didn't hurt leg shit.

Speaker 1 (01:40:38):
Well, hardcore Holly is now out here.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
Great, this is all the stars.

Speaker 1 (01:40:44):
Matt and Jeff grab a ladder from each side of
the ring and come into the ring. Jeff throws his
ladder away, just doesn't get this match at all. It
hits a dropkin to the ladder that Matt is holding.

Speaker 2 (01:40:58):
At least he was a little better prepared for the
part where he drops the weapon. It's Taz. Taz comes
down here. Uh. No Bull Buchanan, which was weird. I mean,
he's fucking's not one. Well.

Speaker 1 (01:41:16):
Jeff sets the ladder in the corner sideways and then
goes to the Jeff sets the ladder in the corner
sideways and then goes to the top road and shines

(01:41:37):
it up real nice, and then it hits the leg
drop over the ladder for two.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
Dude, I mean, I love that. It's completely unnecessary. But
the Heidi gets on it is very cool.

Speaker 1 (01:41:50):
Yeah, it's dope. Looks awesome. Jeff climbs the ladder again, uh,
and Matt climbs but gets punched down. Matt then thats
a fire extinguisher and sprays it all over Jeff's face
and then throws a trash can at him. And he
bumps from the top to the ladder onto everyone on
the outside.

Speaker 2 (01:42:10):
Throwing the trash can. Like I thought he was gonna
tip the ladder. I guess we'd hadn't invented tipping the
ladder tech yet, or at least maybe they just didn't
want to do it. That he throws some fucking trash
can at his head. So yeah, he lands on all
the boys outside, which are Perry Saturn, Taz and Bob Holly.

Speaker 1 (01:42:25):
This is so important, huh No, right, Well, everyone's fighting
out there now, and Matt Hardy jumps and pretty much
misses everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:42:39):
I like he I mean, he was losing his balance
and I think that's what happened because it was either
he was gonna fall over the ring post or he
had to jump, so he jumped and lightly brushed against
Perry Saturn and instead at least he got Well, the
rest of them look like it's smashed into the ramp.
That sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:43:00):
Well, Matt goes to pin Jeff and Crash slips getting
into the ring and almost doesn't break up the pin.

Speaker 2 (01:43:08):
The ref us is slow count because Crash has a
trash can laid in his hand and he's struggling to
get into the ring with it and know he's fucking
fumbling and falling over himself until he just fucking throws
it and braced well.

Speaker 1 (01:43:21):
Crash then hits Matt in the head with a trash
can and pins him for a three and wins the
hardcore title.

Speaker 2 (01:43:26):
Yes, more money for Crash. He's farming money, dude. He sprints,
so he grabs the title and runs so fast up
the ramp to get away from everybody. I mean, like,
what a what a great gimmick.

Speaker 1 (01:43:40):
Yeah, I mean really, he's really good at all this.

Speaker 2 (01:43:42):
Too, So that's fucking fantastic. And like him being Hardcoreally's cousin.
I mean, this all worked out tremendously.

Speaker 1 (01:43:48):
Yeah, having the serious guy with Crash, all this was
well thought out. I'm sure it wasn't. It just turned
out great, But it just.

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
It had to have been week to week and they
just got lucky.

Speaker 1 (01:43:59):
But it was good, a good deal.

Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 (01:44:02):
We go backstage, Vince is talking to everybody, uh, and
a guy walks up and says he has a special delivery.

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
Mm st Jones.

Speaker 1 (01:44:11):
No, I think that's bull Buchanon.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
This was just another stone cold that. Actually, yeah, he
had a good tea.

Speaker 1 (01:44:18):
This was just a super popular look by the way
for the two thousands.

Speaker 2 (01:44:23):
Because the stone Cold for the TV guides him and Goldberg.
So Vin says, yeah, I just want anybody getting spooked,
and Trible he says, nobody's getting spooked, and Vince says,
don't tell me how I get spooked, and Trilly says,
I'm hot. And someone walks up and he says, sir,
I have a doiliver writing her outside for you, special
delivery for mister vincick Man. And he says, oh, is

(01:44:46):
that right? He says, you girls stay here at Triple
as Shane. They all walk out, walk down the hallway,
and vinceys he's trying to set us up. Trible, it
just listen. You bait him and Shane Lwell get him
from the sides and they all walk outside and then
starts yelling.

Speaker 1 (01:45:01):
Godstad hey hosted, come on.

Speaker 2 (01:45:04):
And they walk up to this fucking big ass tractor trailer.

Speaker 1 (01:45:08):
I think Austin is like watching the show or something.
He's inside the cement trucks in.

Speaker 2 (01:45:13):
The cement mixer. Come on out of there. Well, the
guy says, listen, I got four yards of the best
cement here. For you, mister rick Van. It's supposed to
go into Corvette. And she says, oh that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:45:30):
Okay, yeah, the Corvette.

Speaker 2 (01:45:33):
Oh, the Corvette slaps this fucking paper on the guy's hand,
and he says, get out out of here, get your
truck and get down out of here, and then Vince
and all. He turns back inside. He points, He says,
oh fuck, he's back inside. He baited us, he bait
and switched us. They all rush to go back inside.
This is I mean, this is great. I love this
is supposed to go in to Corvette. Oh that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:45:56):
Oh yeah, I supposed to go to the corvette.

Speaker 2 (01:46:00):
Why didn't they kick this guy's ass?

Speaker 1 (01:46:03):
Yeah they should have.

Speaker 2 (01:46:04):

that was gonna accomplish, just check it because he doesn't

So now it's time for Godfather versus Steve Blackman the main.

Speaker 2 (01:48:16):
Of the evening.

Speaker 1 (01:48:19):
Because they just didn't give a ship back then. Uh,
it just didn't matter.

Speaker 2 (01:48:23):
Give a fuck, not like look, I mean, look at
all the matches on the show, Like all the top
guys are in these in these fucking segments.

Speaker 1 (01:48:32):
Well, all the hose are out here, no big ordeal
about them or anything.

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
Though, I like the one in the white that was
kind of all we got. But there was no intro. Yeah,
they were already like using the.

Speaker 1 (01:48:44):
Entrance, Yeah, using the Godfather and not doing an entrance
with the hose. Maybe the house got it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:53):
Oh they had to have, right, they had to. Maybe
it was it was cut for time for road Doggie
Christ give him a little extra tonight. Because we like you.
That's when I was Fellas.

Speaker 1 (01:49:05):
Steve Blackman drop kicks him in the back, Godfather hits
a big boot a line and a body slam, setting
the room on fire.

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
Well, the crowd was not into it as it was,
but then they're also just distracted by something else going
on in the crowd, which sure main event whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:49:26):
Well, Godfather sets up the whole train, but al snow
dressed up as Steve Blackman comes out here and hits
Godfather with numb chucks and then Steve Blackman hit the
bicycle kick and loses.

Speaker 2 (01:49:39):
Yeah, de cute black Men then pump kicks them and
then he fires up and Blackman does not seem upset
about this at all. Like I thought it was gonna
be like, oh, he's mad that al Like Alston's gonna
be like, I did what you want and I'm serious,
and Steve black was gonna say, you fucking cost me
the match, But Blackman didn't really seem to give a
fuck at all. I don't know if that's what happened after.

(01:49:59):
Maybe it is, but it just didn't seem like he
sold it that way.

Speaker 1 (01:50:03):
Well, we go backstage d X and the boys are
in the room, the office room where they stay, and
a blue drape. Yeah, this is a room specifically.

Speaker 2 (01:50:16):
Couch. Yeah, there's a bag on a couch and it's
making a noise, a rattling noise, you could say. And
Vince points over it and says, what's that. Chane says
it's nothing, that cyber quarter and Vince says, I don't
I don't know if it's another quarter. That's that's my bag,

(01:50:37):
damn it. And then Shane goes to open it and
they all yell them and say, oh the fuck. And
she says why to chill out? And he goes open
a bag. He doesn't even go to open it. He
just grabs it and lifts it up and throws it.

Speaker 3 (01:50:50):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:50:51):
And then we find out they are all fucking flipping
out because he did this, because there's a big ass
rattlesnake crawling around on the couch. Yeah, that was funny.
I like that. I mean, it's again all callbacks the
shit he's done to really, all these people before. Uh,
that was fucking You should have just started. You should
have grabbed choking it out crazy, just wrangle it. This

(01:51:12):
ain't so bad, guys, What did you do? The macho man,
you should have fired the snake. You fired.

Speaker 1 (01:51:22):
Well. The w WF Smack of the Night presented by
Milk got milk gulping down.

Speaker 2 (01:51:29):
Oh, I mean milk is good. Milk is good.

Speaker 1 (01:51:32):
Well, it's the Rock and Vent segment from earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:51:36):
Yeah, it's a Smack of the night. No matches, had
a smack had no smacks worth the ship. Get your milk, milk, milk, lemonade.

Speaker 1 (01:51:44):
We're on the quarner.

Speaker 2 (01:51:45):
Fudge is made.

Speaker 1 (01:51:49):
Well, now it's time for the makemon Helmsley Regimes.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
Yes, and it says down the fly, Wow, that's fucking crazy.
Good job. Yeah, So McMahon Helmsley Regime town Hall here,
we're gonna settle some things. So Cole, they come out
to the ring and Cole says, I don't know why
they're on their way out here. Well, Cole, what the
fuck else was scheduled for this time? There's no more
matches unless you're telling me they did this. And then
the show went off the air and there was supposed

(01:52:15):
to be more matches.

Speaker 1 (01:52:17):
Because yeah, I don't know, there's a ton more matches.
I mean, like, goddamn, they got Kevin Nash versus Goldbird
coming up.

Speaker 2 (01:52:23):
Here in a minute. I just can't see them. Sure, yeah,
that's what they advertised on local commercials. So they get
all get in the ring with mcmahelmsy regime, and she says,
let me get right down to this. I'm sick and
tired of all these games. Austin. If this is you,
I'm tired of this Austin three sixteen. So if McMahon
three sixteen says, if you are here, why don't you

(01:52:45):
come down to this ring and we'll welcome you back
to the WWF right now, that catchphrase probably wouldn't catch
on as much as too many words, too many words
on it. And they all went around walking around the ring, pacing,
and nothing's happening, and Triple A starts to laugh and says,
you know what, Vince, he's either not here or Steve
Austin is a chicken shit, And Michael Cole says, I

(01:53:08):
can guaran damn t Yeah he ain't that shut up
bitch Jackson. So Triple A says, that's what I thought.
I'll tell you what though, after all that, he's not
gonna spoil this little party because I know somebody that
is here. Rack. Now you're back in the building Rack,

(01:53:29):
and I'll tell you what I know. I told you
to take the night off, and I told you I
was tired of you, but I changed my damn mind.
Triple H at the end of the show is saying,
you can't have the night off anymore if you're smell.
The Rock is here and Rock comes out and Triple
H is fucking goating him out, and he fucker says,
come on, Rock, we don't have to wait till Sunday.
And then the Rock g's up and does the talk

(01:53:51):
to the handspot, which I believes as a gift forever.
Could not believe it. I was like, Wow, that's fucking crazy,
that that's what that from.

Speaker 1 (01:54:00):
Yeah, I would have never guessed it, No, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:54:04):
I would have. I mean like, I don't even know
how I would have guessed what it was, but I
would have thought it was this. So Rocks, as the
Rock promised that Stone Cold was gonna be here tonight.
The Rock is a man and a half living up
to his word. And then he points to the ovaltron
and then austin very close zooming of the side of
his face shows up here and the crowd goes fucking
balizz Yeah, they lose their fucking mind.

Speaker 1 (01:54:27):
He's not even any area.

Speaker 2 (01:54:30):
It's just enough that they're getting a piece of stone
cold themselves, that that's the that's enough for them to
lose their minds. And they do. And Austin's super zoomed
and he looks at the camera. He says, I understand you.
Jack Ashes had been looking for me. Hell I'm in
the parking lot. I've been in it out all night long.

Speaker 1 (01:54:49):
Could have been little earlier. I was listening to my
boom box. You broke to something, drinking a bunch of beers.
Boom box, take it up, playing with my snake in
the couch room.

Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
But Austin says, there seems to be some concern as
to whose side Ston't GOA Steve Alston is gonna be
on this Sunday and backlash is stn't go Steve Wawsh're
gonna favorite Triple H or Stoke go Steve wols are
gonna be on the side of the rock. That's an
easy one for Ston't go to answer. And the answer
that is, I'm gonna be on the side I've always
been on and that's mine. And what I got right

(01:55:26):
now is a little demonstration for you to any of
you grubby bastards that think they're gonna get their hands
on Ston't goll Steve Auston. You see, there's a lot
of people out there that are good at construction, good
at building things with their hands. Hell, what he's.

Speaker 1 (01:55:41):
Talking about, fucking Steve Hell, shut.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
Out all the blue collar workers. Dude, a pretty good
dump just got my house builders. Hell, seems the only
thing I've ever been good at is tearing shit up. Basically,
what I'm saying is I'm good at deconstruction, right, Yeah, no,
we got that? Got it? So Austin walks over. He's

(01:56:07):
standing on Was this a crane?

Speaker 1 (01:56:08):
I guess, Oh yeah, I'm not sure what you would
call this?

Speaker 2 (01:56:12):
Yeah, a crane, I guess I'll go with And he
walks over and he's standing on it, and he says,
so what we got here is my own little toy,
and don't go. Steve Austin has a little example of
what might happen if anyone gets there. Grubby little meat
hooks on me. He's tuck grubby bastards and grubby little meats.

Speaker 1 (01:56:31):
He's gonna kill you with a crane.

Speaker 2 (01:56:34):
So he pulls a tape off of the side of
this crane and it says Austin deconstruction. Just in case
you didn't understand that he has his own business. Now,
I guess where he fucking destroys shit. Nice. So Austin
gets inside of the thing and there's a dash can
in here, and Austin revs it up and he says, oh,
I like what I hear? And he okay, maybe you can.

Speaker 1 (01:56:56):
Tell her he's got that Cummins engine.

Speaker 2 (01:57:04):
Maybe you can tell me what does he drop on
this bus?

Speaker 1 (01:57:09):
It was a concrete barricade.

Speaker 2 (01:57:11):
Okay, that's what I thought it was. Uh, And that's
I'm assuming what it is, because he drops this concrete
barricade on top of the DX Express bus and you
would assume it was like fucking covered in dynamite sticks,
because this bus explodes like a fucking legit bomb went off.

(01:57:33):
It explodes the shit, and Austin like, holy fuck, this
is the craziest thing I've ever seen. And Austin says,
to anybody that tries to master Stone Golden Shandia backlash
and that's the bottom of cult send. So didn't even
train of thought was fucked up. They the last thing
you see on the show is the DX Express. Like

(01:57:54):
the surveying of the scene, this thing is on super fire, Like, Oh,
did this happen? Did he rig this with dynamite?

Speaker 1 (01:58:03):
No, this is just what happens when bus get hit
with fucking concrete barricades.

Speaker 2 (01:58:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:58:09):
I've seen it quite a few times in my life, so.

Speaker 2 (01:58:12):
Wow, I just yeah, North Carolina has a lot of
big bus incidents. Yeah, yeah, which, and I understand flames.

Speaker 1 (01:58:21):
Yeah, it doesn't happen too much outside of here, but
the top down, Yeah, that's why I live in Raleigh.
Doesn't happen to bust over here.

Speaker 2 (01:58:27):
Well, we gotta be careful when we got to Charlotte
on ooctover nineteenth, because I don't want to see any
bus mishaps where the top of the bus is the
point that you can just drop something on it. It
blows the shit to smithereens shit, I mean, we might
have to have someone hit the bus with a tape
fist or an ankle lock or something. Oh hell on,

(01:58:52):
But yeah, dude, I mean this is I remember this vividly.
I remember him blowing this fucking bust of vividly. It's
also in the video game. Is it Smack Down two
or just bring it. I think it might be one
of the early SmackDown games that there's a cut scene
where Austin drops a bomb on the d X Express. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:59:09):
I mean, this shit's awesome. The way it blows up
as cool as fuck.

Speaker 2 (01:59:13):
It's fucking gnarly. Yeah, I love it, crazy visual. I
mean it's fun that even in two thousand, like you know,
Austin's obviously coming back from injury, like you know, it's
winding down here, but the fact that they still are like, hey,
we stone Cold's got a fuck some shit up still
like sit up and the answer is always yes, like
of course he's got a fucking blowsome shit up. Uh yeah,

(01:59:33):
I very fucking fun. They didn't, I don't like, did
they even showed dx's reaction to this. I don't even remember. Yeah,
I don't know. Yeah, it's fucking blow this bus to ship.
They legit only made this bus exist so this could happen,
which is also great. But that is it for a
