You could.

Call it that. You could also call it the end
of an era, James, because this, uh, this is of
course the last SmackDown ever in the history of SmackDown
ever where the Raw and SmackDown brands are combined. This
is the SmackDown right after the inaugural draft, but the
rosters have not been split yet for some reason. I

(00:45):
don't know if we ever really found out why, or

Speaker 5 (09:45):
H All right, let's get into WWF SmackDown for March
twenty eighth, two thousand and two.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Two thousand two. Of course, the end of an era
until that era, of course starts again and we kind
of forget about this draft stuff. But it is the
end of an era. Nonetheless, this will be the final
show for the foreseeable future, for those that know in
two thousand and two that Raw and SmackDown will have
the same guys on the same show. This is the
SmackDown right after the Draft episode, which we did already,

(10:19):
so if you missed that review, check that out. But yeah,
so this will be the final one before the brand
split truly begins. Sure, before we get into that, let's
talk about what was going on well with wrestling at
the time. With the Wrestling Observer newsletter from The Observer
March twenty fifth, two thousand and two, Meltzer says, true
gimmick indie wrestler Danny Boy is now Danny Anthrax with
his gimmick going to the ring with a big bag

(10:41):
of white powder which he throws in his opponent's eyes
as a finish. I mean, I don't know, you know,
I guess if it's a part of your name, much
like you know, Jack cart Wheel, everyone would assume he
comes out and does cart wheels. If you're Danny Anthrax,
you would come out and try to kill your opponent
with Anthrax.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
This kind of crazy jump from it's a crazy jump
a boy to Anthrax, like you're just going straight forward.
I guess, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, I'm Johnny Malatov. With the SUPLEXF News, there seems
to be mixed thoughts on the brand split. A lot
of people have been told, going on nine months now
that they'll be given more of a shot when the
split comes, so they've been patiently waiting. There is also
the feeling that with the popularity where it is, that

(11:26):
this isn't at the right time. There was a mention
of the TV show Friends and how bad an idea
would be if NBC would have split the six stars
into two different shows. Huh, I think they should do that.
That's how it works.

Speaker 7 (11:42):
Why would they slim whatever?

Speaker 1 (11:44):
They should take the Simpsons and make two different shows
with them. Put Bart and Homer on one and you know, uh,
Marge and Lisa on the other.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Futurama, Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
Family guid in American Dad, right, and the same things.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh yeah, yeah, Cleveland show. That was a third brand
from The Observer. April first, two thousand and one. The
World Wrestling Federation took one of its biggest risks in
years by going through with the long proposed brand split
and draft on March twenty fifth, While arguably the biggest
drawing card and one of the key people in making

(12:25):
the split work was sitting at home. The plan had
always been, with the popularity of Steve Austin in the Rock,
that each would be heading one of the brands, with
only one chance per week to see each of them,
it would be strong enough to maintain current ratings and
celtickets and major cities on the road, even with what
on paper would be less talent depth. Austin walked out
after WrestleMania, and after attempts all week for a reconciliation failed,

(12:48):
didn't appear on TV this week either. The original plans
were for Austin to be the top draw on Rick
Flair's Raw show. They built an angle for TV around
Austin not being there, saying that due to a contractual situation,
Austin going to be picked in the draft, selling the
idea that Austin would go to the highest bidder. So
they are under the impression he's coming back, and went
so far as to say he would be on Raw
on April first. So that's what's going on here. I don't,

(13:10):
I mean, I think I know of like Austin, Austin
was walking out a lot at this point, and we'll
walk out more here soon after. I always just thought
it was just because Austin was a fucking wild card.
I don't know if I ever knew that it was
because they actually didn't know if he was going to
show up the work.

Speaker 7 (13:26):
Yeah, that is nuts.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
I mean, like the major one that we talks about
was when he was gonna fight Brock.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
And then he just rock whatever. Of course, but this
is like a way before that.

Speaker 7 (13:34):
I didn't know he was doing it, way back in March.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, he was on Bite This and he did that
in front of about how his creative sucks and I
hate the WWF.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
If it's God damn well, i'll see you Monday. I
know you won't take Jay said. The original plans were
also to put the tag title up on Raw and
create some new teams, including the Island Boys, who I
think is Jamal and Rosie originally, as well as talk
of Perry Saturn and Hugh Morris being a team and

(14:06):
the Hardys as contenders. Well, Saturn's on SmackDown now, so
it seems doubtful that Saturn and Hugh Morris will get
any serious push. I just want to put that in
there because I know they'd really disappoint the two of you.
I think I did see Raven and Hugh Morris won
the HWA tag titles and too much celebration, and then
I read that Raven was booking HWA.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
That's awesome, that's where they were sending the big show,
and he was eating too much, OBW didn't want him no.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
More catering got a good meltzer, says It got so
funny on March twenty fifth that the wrestlers who were
not among the twenty top picked for the draft weren't
told at the show which side they were on, only
clicked into WWF dot com that night to find out.
Several who were driving to Philadelphia ended up having to
call friends after the show to find out where they

(14:58):
were picked, and even that didn't work since WBF servers
were overloaded in the hour that those picks were being revealed.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
So no cloud flair, you know, I doubt it.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Why the fuck would they not tell people where they
were going? Did they not know until the Like they
just last second put a list.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
I through like a twelve hour production day and like
we just finished raw and just incredible comes up to
me and ask me where.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Am I going. I'm gonna turn the other direction and
just go on, walk on out of here. Well then
you'll walk into Hugh Morris who wants to know where
he's going. Yeah, I'm just gonna run.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Actually I walk, and let me make that a very
fast run.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
All of these guys we picked up from East w
and WW, we're super over. You don't want to I
gotta go. Wow.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
We drafted all of you guys to the Age w
A oh big show now again, We're not taking nothing.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Nash showed up in Ottawa with Scott Hall several hours late,
and the first thing he did was complain long and
loud about the Rock calling him big Daddy bitch the
night before on RAW that traffic will get you, dude.
I mean, you got a lot of time to think.
I mean, you've been here for a while and call
hasn't changed one single time. But I hear you. He
didn't make a lot of friends by complaining about the line,

(16:22):
which saw people see him as a cry baby, especially
in a lot of all the times he went against
the script in WCW, especially after showing up late, but
everything ended up smoothly. In his match, they gave him
a spot where he was beating Rock up in the
corner and it was allowed to say to Rock, who's
the bitch now? And Michael Cole even called it on
TV to make sure nobody missed it. But then they
were fine because Nash is smart enough to know that
making an enemy of the Rock isn't in his best

(16:44):
entrance interest.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Excuse me, Well, don't worry, Nash, the rock won't be
here for too much longer.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
He's trying to get that out of here to go
to a movie. And because just incredible and humorks you've
tried to talk to him. Last couple of things here
from the Observe April eighth, two thousand and two, there
is talk floating around that Jerry Jarrett's new promotion would
have an NWA affiliation, which would enable Jeff to be
the NWA champion. Meltzer says, from an NWA standpoint, that

(17:11):
would be a double coup because Jeff would be a
lot better champion than Dan Severn at this point. Plus,
if the pay per view deal last any length of time,
it could be part of a promotion with pay per
View making them the number two organization and a one
organization country. So I wonder how this NWA Jerry Jarrett
thing turns out, and why is he gonna fucking give
shit to my man Dan Severn here?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Why would they call it NWA Jerry Jarrett Jarrett the
Jarrett names and sharelie son of like, I would.

Speaker 7 (17:41):
Assume they just assumed Jeff's going to be champion.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, he'll be championed, Jerry Jarrett said, And I mean
Jeff could be a champion. Last thing here that I
was very excited for you to hear about. Someone made
their pro wrestling debut in two thousand and twer here
on March twenty seventh and drew sixteen ndred fans, which
was the largest crowd in the history of Maryland Championship Wrestling.
This man teamed with Gilberg to take on Chad Bowman

(18:07):
and Dino Divine and that man Bobby good Try. That
was close. He is a big tray doesn't too. Probably
was in high school any guess Tony Seude, I have
no brockle. You guys are like super close these This

(18:30):
guy has a lot of the same features and qualities
of these stars that you're you're pointing out here. The man,
the myth, the legend who debuted here. Steve Wilks. Steve
Steve Wilks, the big bald security guard from the Jerry's
Frigga Show. Steve. Come on, they're still called we got

(19:00):
Steve on the indies stunt. Well, that is it for
the world wrestling at the time. Now let's talk about
w WF SmackDown March twenty eighth, two thousand and two.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
All right, so we start with the WWF attitude bumper
and then we move into the Beautiful People SmackDown intro.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I mean we've talked about it. We haven't talked about
two thousand and two in a minute, so I don't
know how much we've actually been able to talk about
this intro in particular, but fucking fantastic. I mean, shut
your Mouth is a very important game to me, so
this intro, like is maybe my favorite.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, I mean I was so nostalgic for this, Like
it's funny. I was thinking as I was watching a
Why am I so like fond of this? It's definitely
the fucking video game.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
It has to be.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler welcome
us to the Last SmackDown as we know it. We
are at the First Union Arena in Philly.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
So when I was, you know, cognisant enough of going
to shows, like when I was old enough to really
want to go to anything WWF, the First Union Center
was where w W would always run all their shit
and I I I legit only remember the name of
it because everyone would call it the FU Center. That's
how I remember the name. Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Well we have the Rock Hulk, Hogan and Kane taking
on six Haul and Nash in a six man tag tonight.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Crazy, crazy fucking match. Yeah, so we're I mean, I
guess we're what a month or less removed from US
so many eighteen.

Speaker 7 (20:31):
It looks like Rosmano is March seventeenth, so it's like
ten days ago.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Oh yes, right, okay, yeah that makes sense. Rock's obviously
had his issues with the nWo, Hogan not in the
nWo anymore, and Kane xbox Sohoul's mask. They are forever feuding.
So that's where that is.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Well, the first match of the evening here is Booker
T versus d DP.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, a little fucking WF midcard match with some WF
mid carters. I would hate if brock Lesner came out here.
Booker comes out with the Raw name plate because he
was drafted there. So that's fun. They do that throughout
the night where if anyone was drafted to Raw they
get their appropriate nameplate, even though the draft isn't finalized

(21:15):
or whatever. But I'll take it.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, I thought the I thought the name plate at
first was like a fuck up until my brain kicked.
Sure was weird nameplate?

Speaker 1 (21:27):
It feels wrong? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I guess they were.
They were playing with that a lot at the time, right,
like the Invasion stuff too, Like they put w SIB
nameplates eventually on just fucking whatever show. They're just doing whatever.
I wish uh. Later on, they should have had a
couple of these guys come out with heat nameplates because
thats where they're gonna end up. Well.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Booker hits the Harlem sidekick early in this one for
a two count. Booker tries to slap on the Irish
whip Sleeper, which must have been a mandate in the
WWE because it happens every single mess tonight.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Dude. Okay, it's so funny because I saw we just
talked about this, but I think it was Piper who
was doing it. Oh yeah, and maybe a couple other
guys at the time. But I was like, I saw
him do it in this match. I was like, oh,
that's fucking cool, Like nobody really does that anymore, And
then I proceeded to see it every matter.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
It felt weird, like it felt like everyone knew we
were in a transition period and you know, let's just
take it easy tonight.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah. I also think that w W we had a
lot of memos sent out.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
I mean we've read it a few different times, you know,
back and forth over these next couple of years, where
they're like, okay, start having worse matches, all right, now
it's time to.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Start with better matches. Yeah, yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Now it's time to get bad again. Why what are
we doing? What we're is always good?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
How about that? What are we just always good? Maybe
it's a seasonal thing. Maybe they know that people want
work great in the winter months, but during the summer
they want to be entertained. Is that true? Everybody you
go to Tuesdays, it's not happen on Monday. Oh yeah,
we'll work on your rate. All right.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
So the SmackDown draft picks come up on the bottom
of the screen, a little ticker. Yeah, and uh, I
mean it's just flying by Big Valbowski was on there for.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Some reason, which is his name? Which I another flashback? Well,
big shows for these you know, not related to the
Big Show that they could have been.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
A tag team in Heartland Wrestling.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
That sounds correct. Actually Raven's bucking that crazy.

Speaker 7 (23:34):
I'm sure they said it there for a miner. They
had to.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Probably that's why where he got the big Valbowski. He
was trying to figure something out to get back up here.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, just trying to n versus big show.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
DDP hits the Diamond Cutter, but Brock lesnar.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Runs in the ring and stalks DDP before hitting him
with a huge spye.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Paul Haymon's here shouting at it on the apron and
Brock picks them up and hits them with an F five,
where DDP lands on his back. Probably felt like shit.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Well, we have the Kurt Angle town Hall up next.
Kurt Angle comes out here to massive you suck Chance.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Kurt was Vince's number two draft picked the SmackDown, which
is his grievance is that he should not have been
number two. They're laying on this fucking guy that you
suck chance to what chance. There's signs in the crowd,
which like him being a USA Olympic gold medalist and
being able to spell USA out to say you suck
Angle is brutal. Yeah, right, like just a complete home run.

(24:41):
So Kurt says, you know, considering I risked my life
wrestling in the Olympics with a broken freaking neck. For
you people, at least you could do show a little appreciation,
and you know what, you sucked due the crowd. I mean,
the crowd is fucking super pissed. Though I do watch
these back with uncertainty because they were taped and I
don't know how much of the heat was true.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Curashan to ask how the Philly sports are going.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Don't fucking you don't get a fucking ask. But at least,
like ten years later, it's gets a little better, like
there's something to talk about, nothing to talk about that
nothing to talk about now, fucking piece of fucking shit.
So Kurt says, you people are pathetic, almost as pathetic
as what happened last Monday on Raw when Stephanie was
forced to leave the w w F. Kurt wants to
show some fucking respect. He says that you sick, heartless jerks. Stephanie,

(25:34):
if you're watching, don't listen to these people. They're not
your true fans. Show Stephanie some fucking give me some
fucking respect.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
I'm the Olympic King, that is my Olympic Princess.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
I love her very dearly. So uh the lights go down,
and uh fucking they show a picture of Stephanie just
very sad on the tron that the SATs big yeah dude, yeah,
just super MOPy crowd booze, and Cole says, so much
for the moment, and Lala says, shut up, and Kurt says,

(26:11):
you are sick, harlish jerks, and I'll beat the respect
out of all of you. That's it. It's good time.
Kurt goes out of the ring with the intention to
go fight the fans of Philadelpia.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
Dude, he's gonna be everyone up. This is hilarious, Like,
let's go time. I'm out of him.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
We beat everyone else. Kurt goes out of the ring
to fight the fans of Philadelphia, but Vince's music hits
and that stops him, which I don't know why that
stopped him. He should have, you know, I would like
to see what happened. I thought at first, they're gonna
have an Olympic slam of plant from that to the
fucking ring side. But so Vince gets in the ring
and says, you desecrate my daughter's name, and when you
do that, that means you desecrate my name and my

(26:48):
name is worth more that all yours can bind show
me some respect. This all wouldn't happen if it wasn't
for that one individual and his name, Triple H. So
he says that he blames one person for any selfish
act that Stephanie ever committed, and that's that's Triple H.
And he's almost happy that Triple H's WF champion because

(27:10):
not only will he be on Raw, he'll be on
my show SmackDown. And he made my daughter's life a
living hell. That's exactly what I'll do to Triple H.
Triple Ah's music hits, big fucking pop for sure, not sweetened.
And he says, is that what you think, Vince? You
think I'm a bad influence, that I'm selfish, that I'm rotten,
that I'm a son of a bitch. Well, let me

(27:30):
set you straight. You ain't seen nothing yet. And Cole says,
oh my, and since you miss your precious daughter so much,
I say, what the hell, Vince, Maybe kurtz Ray, we
should honor Steph in the crowd booze, she deserves it.
Let's honor those last few remaining moments of stephanim Mann
and the WWF. And then they show footage on the
tron where Triple A hits with a spinebuster and pinzer.

Speaker 7 (27:54):
I said, crazy spinebuster by the way to give it her.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
I mean he gets her up there too. I thought
he was gonna super be nice on the way down.
He was as nice as he could be, I guess,
but uh, you know he can only do so much
and pins her, beats her there and then poses uh
with the both titles wither foot on her, which is
funny as shit. Uh crazy fucking look.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, security comes in pulls her out of the ring
by her feet. One of the guys in Stoke called
Steve Austin.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
He came to work for that. That was Steve the
Mcgilbert Steve the two security guards with Gilbert. Yeah, dude,
I mean she's holding on the ring poster, trying to
drag her off the fucking thing. And uh they finally
kick her out of the building to the non and
on nah non and on nah, hey, hey hey goodbye.

(28:42):
Song hurts fucking pissy, he said, that's I've had. I've had.
I want to match that big ape tonight. I don't
even care if the belts are on the line. I
want to show him some manners. Please give me a
match with that son of a bitch. He's even cot said,
whoa Jesus I want to give I want to show
him some manners that some of a bitch is awesome. Kurtz,
It's always been fucking just fantastic, hasn't he.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
He has been, Yeah, I mean for a long time.
His ability to just sound real, like we mentioned before,
but he's very earnest in his delivery. Even if he
doesn't believe it at all, it doesn't matter because like
it seems like he does. You know, he's just very
He's a good worker.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
So Vince says, under normal circumstances, I'd be happy to oblige,
but quite frankly, I want some of that rotten in
great man myself and Triple itches all. Let me get
this straight. The two of you want to shot at me,
either one of you, it doesn't matter to me as
far as I'm concerned. Game on, which was this big
catphrase at the time. Hell yeah, Well, Vin says, it's

(29:44):
not exactly going to be like that. There's gonna be
the game's gonna be on, but it's going to be
you against kra Angle and Vince McMahon in a handicap
match tonight. Wooo oh shit, Rick Flair is here. He
comes out and he's fired the funk up. Hey McMahon,
Hey viz mgmah it comes on, DAPs up t bleach,

(30:10):
come on? What a mgmun? Did I hear you making
the rules again tonight. I'm still fifty percent, whether you
like it or not.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
I was.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
I took my second was like fifty percent. I'll owner, okay,
ear the ear we're partners.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
What's funny about this too, is uh my vision of
what this should have been, which was Ric Flair coming
out with spiky hair and a T shirt in the
trunks and.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
You think that as his it shrugging about the tire
b because of the prom dude, I mean GM consortium
rig Flair with spiky air would have been. That would
have been so good. I mean if he if mis
gimmick because he was only ever living the last episode
of Nitro for a year, that would have been fucking great.

(31:12):
He's he's say, Douglas, oh he's not here. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Flair comes to the WWF and like he looks great here, man, Yeah,
he looks really good and he's still down to work yeah,
I remember reading that he had like lost his smile.
I guess yeah for a minute when he came to
the WWF, but like Triple H helped him find it again.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, which is pretty cool. And I think there is
something I'll jump ahead just a bit here just because
we bring it up. I think it might have been
after this show that Triple H like had it's either
something during the week here is either this one or
the raw or something like that. Or Triple H like
had Flair stay in the ring and he put him
over huge and talked about his influence on him and
the business, and Flair was like, you know, get in
an emotion all about it, and the crowd was fucking

(32:01):
super fired up. So I think like that lends to
what you were talking about. Whar Flair just was kind
of down on himself and what his maybe what his
legacy would be, I think is kind of what the
story was that he didn't know, like you know, what
he does now, what his career will look like, the
people in ten years, YadA, YadA, YadA.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
But uh well, I mean the wwfron Yeah, it does
a lot of rehabbing. I mean, because it could have
been the last thing you see from him is the
spucky hair shirts, trunks.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
He would have shown him an n W A Jerry
Jared and fine, this is a donkey's ass. He want there.
You know what now thinking we got robbed? You know
what in the shirt w a black shirt with blue trugs?
Is that? Manoue? Is that that can't be? What's they got?

(32:56):
They got? We got that title off a Dan seven?

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Is that a miss?

Speaker 1 (33:04):
As? Come on? Almost forgot the word my son? A
miss from Puerto Rico. Hey, man, Drake Blair, your dad,
I know that's not you. Glynn clink your birdie? Is

(33:26):
that you? You're fired? Man, You're fired? Holy ship man, Wow,
have been awesome. Fuck Yeah, I'm blaming Triple H for
that one. Thanks a lot, buddy. Yeah. Also yeah, I
mean that's.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
So.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Flaire says, it's not gonna be a handicapped Madge Triple H,
the world champion is gonna have a partner tonight. We're partner.
You know, I'm fifty percent good, So I'm fifty percent
of this dude tonight.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Woo.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
And he says, since it's my last SmackDown and he's
getting fired up, he's standing there kind of twitching. You
see it, he needs to take that jacket off. Stat
The jacket comes off, he throws it down, he starts
fucking dancing. What I was, well, Jeffian, I used to
party here, oh no long, and I think tonight it

(34:27):
should be triple H whoo and the Nature Boy side
by side and Vince's eyes start bugging out. And do
me one favor. I promise you. I'll put everything I
happen to be in right beside you. You keep angle
off me so I can kick this son of my
bitch's ass. You you woo you you get my hands

(34:54):
on you?

Speaker 4 (34:55):
Man?

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Did I mention I used to party here all night?
I mean you and WU five hundred times funny as fuck?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
They do the events face zoom a lot here, which.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Was fain to Yeah. I mean his facial reactions are
always fittast. They could Triple H and Flair shake hands,
and we have ourselves a match which I didn't know
is the main event until I saw the six man
was not the main event, and then I put it together.
So we go backstage.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
The Dudley Boys are back here, and Devon asked Bubba
if he's ready.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
You want me to be a reverend, Yeah, you want
to be a bully? No, but like revisit this in
like ten years and maybe I might want to do that.
What was that promotion Rick Flair was talking about, we
should end our career there, we should walk in brawl
there for fifteen years. Oh he fucking shit. So yeah,

(35:56):
he says, you're ready, and Bubba says yeah, and Devon says,
it all comes down to this. If we beat Billions
Chuck to Night, not only do become tag champs, but
we also get to stay together as a team. And
if we don't, and you go your way with your
career and I go mine, And this is gonna be
the last tag team match of the Dudley Boys. I've
been hearing that for a long time. It feels like
I just heard that, like a few weeks ago. Bubba says,

(36:16):
you're right. So I say we go out there and
make history just one last time. Been a hell of
a run I've had to and it should What better
place than this city right here, the city that the
Dudley Boys were born in. They should have had all
the Dudley's here for this one, Like, yeah, oh there
is here, and James, I'm sure you like this one.

(36:38):
They said, they've been w CW Tag Champs, which I
know you're a big fan of run right, yeah, okay, buddy,
sure right. Oh I'm sorry, I must have because the
record book show, you know, the w c W Tag Champs,
Dudley's of course, Rock, WCW World Champion, Sure canaan Undertaker,
also WSW Tag champs. Just the record books. Sadly we're closed.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Uh got wrestlers saw about a year ago when wrestling ended.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Right, Yeah, they're not lying on the show, right.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
No, wrestling never lies, which is one of its better qualities.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
That's one of the dead commandments, never lie in wrestling.
And now said out fun with the Dudley's that's the
last one, and also testified thank you. He said, we've
been w S TO Tag Champions for one hundred percent
fact more important than any of the other ones. We've
been eight times today. They stopped looking at the cameras

(37:42):
to make it clear. Uh, we were, and we have
a picture with the belts we actually have at the house.
They gave it to it. We're the last one. Sorry,
eight time, he said, to be tag champs, six times,
w F Tag Champs. Probably when the n w a
Jerry Jared Tuttle sometime and no one could take that
away from us. And we go out there to night
and we take Billion Chuck to the extreme.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
All right, so we have Billion Chuck with Rico versus
the Dudley Boys. Well, it does a SmackDown nameplate for
Devon and a raw plate for Bubba because this team
is breaking.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Up unless they could save it. They could.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Camera guy gets the camera placing right for all of
these nameplates. Shout out the camera guys here.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
I noticed it. When Hogan comes out the having a
pan to the side for the oh yeah, impressed. Yeah.
Bubba and Chuck start things off here.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Chuck uses a closed fist like an asshole and then
kicks down Bubba in the corner.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Chuck goes to argue with the rest.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Bubba should just stopped, Okay, okay, like obviously we're gonna
get there.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Like, don't you fucking under how long have we been
doing this? We gonna We're gonna get the tables. Jill
the fuck out. Well, Bubba hits a dry hoop kick
for two. Why what are you doing? Just trying to
fucking show off for a singles run? Don't do that?
Get that shit out of here.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Devon and Billy come in, and Devon hits a hip
toss into a flying shoulder tackle and a neck breaker
for a two on Billy. Uh. Devon and Billy have
a midair collision for a double down.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
The fuck was that? Was it supposed to be? They
both liked the spot where they both grab each other's
heads and fall down, except they missed double hair pool.
But fun doesn't happen in midair. I'll shoot, well, we
do double tags.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Bubba comes in, hits two lines of back body drop,
a vertical suplex, and a DDT.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
The DDT definitely, which felt like he was annoyed at
how long he was taking to get there, so he
just dropped Chuck on his head.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Well, Chuck accidentally hits Billy with an elbow drop, and
Bubba hits the Bubba bomb for two. Bubba and Devon
do a double flap jack in the crowd yells three D.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
They were so wanting the three D that anything else
was like three D.

Speaker 7 (39:59):
Oh, all right, dude, it doesn't work like that double
flapped They tell you close to three D.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
I mean they had to do something with this team
at this point. I mean this crowd just doesn't give
a fucking ship. Do the three d get the table?
Call it over ship, Rico distracts the ref and Devon
chases them out. Man, that was egregious. You know, like
you can stay as a tag team if you win

(40:24):
the match year.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
I mean they've been teaming for years and years and years.
You can't be that pissed a Rica. I bet you
could count on one hand the amount of times that
Devon got so mad at a manager that they full
chase them not only up the ramp but to the back.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
So Rico distracts the ref. Like I said, Devon chases
him out, Bubba is left in the ring, Billy hits
the famouser, and Chuck gets the three I.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Swore that was gonna be a false because fuck the famous, Like,
you don't hit this dude with the tag title at
least but one only that I was gonna say they
should hit them with the tag belt. But there is
a title hit finish in the other part of the show,

(41:05):
so that was probably its and aid.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
Well, there's also a ton of Irish whip sleepers than every.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Match too, but it don't matter for that one.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
I don't remember, no, it also didn't have one, surprisingly,
but yeah, just it made the Dudley Boys look super
fucking dumb. Yeah yeah, so, I mean, if they're gonna
split these guys, at least, you know, let.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Them go out on a good match. Come on, they
got all their shit in after.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Yeah, just, I mean, you really couldn't have made these
guys look any dumber if you tried.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
It was pretty bad.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Devon leaving and just ruining, like their chances of staying
as a team didn't make any fucking sense. Devon has
never once in the WWF anyways. In e c W,
Bubba and Devon were pretty dumb, like that was kind
of thing.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
They were very dumb. But in WWF they're just kind
of dudes that like tables. Why is Devon leaving? Dude?
They would just talked about. They have an unreal amount
of tag runs including w CW. Come on, you gotta
give these guys something, give them the Nasty Boys. Dudley
Boys versus the Nasty Boys looked much better. They got

(42:10):
their asses whooped. I know that the heels and there
like little shitters, but like, damn.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
How fucking funny would that have been Dudley's and Nasty
boys in the ring.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, random SmackDown.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Nasty boys just come in and they just fucking stiff
each other for eight minutes. Yeah, and then they put
fucking Jerry SAgs to the table the long way?

Speaker 8 (42:32):
Right?

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Do they do up to Brian Knobs and they sell
it because he spells like ship they do it the
other way into his asshole.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
So Billy chokes Baba in the cright, but Devine comes in.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Where was he for the finish dude? He comes in
like a bat of the hell running down the ramp. Hey, man,
you didn't like your brain is fucked up? Isn't? It's
not even angry. I would have been angry. What the
fuck I mean? Billy's pushing his head into the second
turnbucle I don't know what this is even supposed to do. Well.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
The Dudis start fighting back and then they hit Chuck
with a three D. Michael Call says, perhaps for the
final time.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Perhaps not Cole, You'll have to realize it actually never
is going to be the final time, even when you
think it is.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
So the Dudley's hit why up Billy Chuck, and Bill
Bubba tells Devon to get the tables. No countdown that's awesome,
love that hate the countdown.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
And the Dulies hit Billy with a three D through
the table. Did Bubba have? He was like a shiner
and his eye is full of blood? What the fuck
was that from?

Speaker 2 (43:59):
It'd be crazy feels from where he choked him in
the corner.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Maybe I like if he was super roughing him up
or something, but like I don't, I couldn't figure it out.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
Nobody had a black eye a little bit in the
backstage segment, but like, uh, you're never being super red
like that.

Speaker 7 (44:13):
They zooming on it like yes.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
It's I Yeah. So Bubba and Devon and hug and
raise each other's arms and Lawler says, no, no, no, no.
So we go backstage.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
The APA is here in their office, smoking penises and
drinking butt heavies and they share some memories with each.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Other, well card game, and Fruke says, card games just
don't seem the same, han right, Charles says, they sure don't.
All this time we've been together, golly, he says, golly,
we've we've tragged together, rode together, we fought together, and
Fruke says, yeah, you know, like that time up and
Red Deer where those guys sure kicking our ass. I
had your back on you had mine and whatever you

(44:51):
say never, and Fruk says, you know, it all comes
down to what a lottery? And Rachel says the names
out of a hat because McMahon Flair just can't get along.
Now you go to smack down and I got a
raw and a PA is gonna close because of this.
Fruk says, you always be here though, man, he has
his chest like a brother. And Rachel says, you know,
we came in drink a beer. We got one night left.

(45:13):
Last call hey Jerry right there. I swear, I swear
I thought to Jerry was gonna come in with like
a case of fucking bud lights. It's like, hey, did
Jerry come here? And Freak says, hey, Tory, you get

(45:35):
in here too, and Brenchell says, we got a big
party tonight. You go tell everybody beer a pa, last
party and to Jerry agrees he's gonna go get the
beer for the boys and he goes leave with Torri,
but Brencheall says, no, no, she can stay and play naked,
I mean play cards. Don't worry about her. Fruks is gone,
take your time and you sit down, honey. And Bradshall
tells Tory, he said, you're not good at cards, are you?
That's great. We play a game called strip poker and

(45:57):
Fruk reaches behind him and pull opens a of one
of the filing cabinets and pulls out of beer and
gets it. Brod just said, you don't mind, Dean. Tori says,
not at all. So we got the final beer party
for the APA. I mean, I love this. I love
this team. Breaking up all these teams like this is

(46:18):
I mean, it's obviously interesting, right, but looking back at
it's like, damn like APA were fucking sick. Yeah really,
but I mean it kind of had to happen worked
out great for one of them. So we go backstage.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Matt Hardy is here with Lida talking to Lily and Garcia,
and uh, I gotta say, it just seemed like Matt
Hardy and Leda were like rolling off some shit or something.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
They were. This whole thing felt fucked up. Lilian says, Lda,
congrats on being drafted on Monday. The whole vibe on
this whole show is just really weird. It felt like
a pilot to like we're going through rehearsals here. The
real show will be another day. Yeah. She congratulates Leader
for being drafted. The fuck are you talking about? Why
wouldn't she have been like just incredible? Was draft was drafted,

(47:06):
and Mac congrats on ending up on the show with
Leda and Lida says, the whole night was so crazy.
Everyone's on the other seat. And then the b Flair's
tenth draft pick. It was a relief, and Matt says
last week was by far the toughest week of my life. Well,
that sucks. It's a terrible thing to not future lives.
It's good to know that our fate is in our
hands and myself, Leda and Jeff are all together and

(47:28):
t mxtream was once again a unit in the WWF.
So Jericho walks up by the way and says, what
are you too so happy about? And who cares? Anyway?
You're making me sick? What the fuck is going on here?
He just interrupts and just has a completely unrelated segment.
Congrats will be on a raw. I'm on SmackDown and
I hate this shit because I should be under champion. Sucks, man,

(47:53):
I do just for the birds, And do you realize
since wrestling any the only rematch I received for the
undispeeded title is against Triple H and Stephanie. Rematch is
that I'm a larger than life living legend. Damn it,
I'm a tunnel around my gorgeous waist. I will never
be happy about anything ever again.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
He was so good at putting together I mean, just nothing.
I mean he was just just saying ship all the time,
like this was.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
So like this was legit, a fucking just a use
case to make Matt Hardy versus Jericho ship, Like there
was nothing bringing these two together other than Jericho being annoying.
And then Matt saying your has been that I hate smash,
I hate this ship, and I should be understand a champion.

(48:42):
I'm the best ever I hate damn it. Matt says,
you know I can sympathize with you, Chris Jericho. He
says that with you, Chris Jericho, this is fucking shut
your mouth, cut seed. Nobody wants to be a has been.
And then they walk away, so he fucking gets paid
and he jumps Matt from behind, callsing him to bump

(49:02):
in the leadle and they both fall and he looks
him and says I am not and uh, that's not
the last we see these two three, I guess. So
we go backstage.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Hulk Hogan is here and The Rock comes in and
slaps him on the back and says, hey, we have
to do his segment that everyone will remember.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
This is going to be the best thing for SmackDown
and the worst thing for Kane. Are you ready? Are
you ready to bury this guy? Oh? Oh yeah, dude,
I've been waiting a long time. I haven't been able
to bury anybody since I Gude, But tonight I give Kan.

(49:43):
It was really like to be a w CW with
the wood bastard. So Hogan's still in his nWo gear.
He's not in the nWo anymore, but I assume they're
waiting for the Red and Yellow pop at another point.
Sure yeah, and Rock walks in and says holk Sta
and hoggs, what's up? My brother? Rock says, the night's
to night, the very last night. You and the Rock

(50:05):
have a shot at the nWo. We were drafted on SmackDown,
they were drafting the Raw, and tonight it's our last shot.
Whoop their candy asses, you know, brother, I just want
these guys as bad as you do. But it's not
just you and me tonight. We've got a partner, Steve. Steve,
that's right, dude, you mean Glenn, you mean fucking Hoggs says,

(50:35):
I've been in the ring with a lot of big
scary dudes, but this guy's scary than all the rest,
and Rock says, yeah, he's one big scary can he is.
He's one big red ass kicking machine. So Rock turns
aside and says, oh, here he comes. Now. Kane walks
in and he gets closer than the rock pantomime's telling
Rocane to not get so close. Rock says, let me
let the Rock ask you something. You ready to go

(50:56):

And whoop candy she's delivery there.

Speaker 2 (51:02):

(52:37):
think of any Kennedy have a tactic chap so Kane
says I'm ready? Are you ready? And Rock says, you
bet your ass. It doesn't matter if you're ready. Kane
is talking regular, by the way, I don't have a
keen regular voice.

Speaker 7 (52:59):
This is how I that's just swarm Boy says no, yeah,
I'm ready.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Yeah, it's just regularly, which sucks. I'm ready. Are you ready?
You bet your It doesn't matter if you're ready, Kane says,
because to night, the Rocky Cane team with Hault Cogan,
and you know something, Brothers, whether it's millions and millions
of Rocks fans or twenty thousand Hall Camaniacs or twenty
thousand screaming Canaanites Canaan Nights, the question is, brothers, what

(53:29):
you're gonna do, Scott Hall, Kevin dash x Buck, what
you're gonna do with hul Cogan and the Rock and
the Big Red Machine Ron Wild on you and Caine
then starts pont spamming doing all of Hogan's ship, and
it is I mean, this is funny as fuck.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
You know what's really funny is that the Rock mouths Canaanites,
as Jerry Lawler says Canaan Knights commentary, so it looks.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Like Rock is saying it. It's a ventriloquiz Canaan Knights.
The Kane leases I'll see you guys out there. The
Rock is stunned, I'll see you guys out there. He
just walks out. I mean that changed everything.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
I mean like this is one of the most for
better or for worse, memorable moments and uh in SmackDown history.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
For sure, Kane's career is never the same. What you
mean he shocks shame and Man's ball to the car battery,
shocks Kane's balls with the card batteries. Why did why
did Shane business pants? You guys shocked in the ball?
It just releases the is. Oh yeah, okay, sure Canaanites

(54:44):
last for a while.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Yeah, I mean there's twenty thousand screaming Canaan Knights.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Yeah, I mean, not dubbed for sure.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
No, there's only twenty thousand whole Comaniacs.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
They're very docile. It's an equal amount to Canaanites are
just more passionate. Dude, I'm surprised Hogan and say we
had to retape that. You're trying to tell me, dude,
there's millions of Rocks fans and only twenty thousand, like
all vot. You gotta be fucking kidding me, jerro Brother,
I highly doubt there're twenty thousands. We gotta redo this.

(55:14):
We need more numbers here.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
So yeah, I mean one of the most memorable moments
of SmackDown history right there.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Yeah, SmackDown is brought to
you by Tobacco. Is wacko only if you're a teen? Yeah,
if you're an adult or a child. Shit's fine between
the ages of zero and nine and twenty in Forever

(55:43):
smoke all you want in your pure teen years. Don't
do tobacco please, thank you Stacker too. Do that whenever
you want. Don't wait the matter, get on it, stat
and Hungry Man by Swanson not for children or teens
men only, dude. The NW music hits and it distorts

(56:05):
the Hungry Man.

Speaker 7 (56:07):
Dude, I don't know that end to be a hunger
Ban mule.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
That is so fucking funny. Take it over. So we
have Hulcoke in the rock and Caine versus six Haul
and Nash Xpot comes out with the nunchucks because that
was that was just what he was doing. They didn't
really explain why he just did it, and that's fine
with me.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
I don't know if I've ever read any reason why
he was doing it. I never even questioned it until now. Actually,
I just always said, yep, there's xpox with the nunchucks.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Yeah, I think he just needs like they just wanted
to give him a weapon, like, and he had a
makeup make him look like because he always did kicks.
So they're like, wow, you must have yeah, martial arts background, right,
so I just use a martial arts weapon. We saw
the martial arts weapon in WCW. So here's a list
of them. Pick one.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
I will say this with the Rocks song here, adding
in the little drum kit to the beginning, to change
this song forever.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
If you'll smell what the rock didn't didn't is cooking bound.
I mean as hard as fuck it is. Fuck it
changed that song forever.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
When I think about that song, I can't think of
it anymore without the that's the top guy, Yeah, I
mean the crowd went ape shit for this guy too.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Super over. Well, this is the Rock show, and the
rock wants to walk tall out of this company and
make another movie very soon. Now, Austin and Rock, you
both can't go.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
The Rocket Xbox start off here doing international rock with
two big arm drags. Xbox tries to fire back, but
rockets an overhead belly to belly for a too.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
He throws that motherfucker.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
I'm told here on commentary that Texas and Illinois live
events have been canceled.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
This is true, yeah, which I think these may have
been either both respecting ones or it was just a rossmack.
The ones and it seems they were both because of
the advance was poor. So for the Huntsville one part
of the problem is that Huntsville is about an hour
away from College Station, which is where RAB will be
doing TV the same night, and then SmackDown Team will

(58:11):
instead of be running in the Van Erics hometown of Denton, Texas.
So it was just they're saying it was an inconvenient
place to do it and it wasn't selling well, so
they canceled it. You don't hear that very often, No,
And that's fucking crazy. I actually don't know how much
I've ever heard that on wf ever that they just
announced on the show. Ah, we're just these shows are
not happening. Sorry, So I had to fucking change, right.

(58:33):
That's not fucking good.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Yeah, I imagine that's why they made some sweeping changes.
I don't think business was doing too hot at the.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
Time, couldn't a bit. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Hall comes in, throws the toothpick at the rock and
does the spooky fingers in the corner his ass.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
Whoo, dude, I loved it.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
He does the fingerta it Rock turns him around immediately
and just starts beating his shit out.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Heah whales on him. Hall looks good here, though, I
will say, I mean, I know he doesn't. He's not
long for the WF Sadly, he looked good and I
always enjoy watching him work. Yeah, me too, Yeah, I agree.
It was uh. I mean, he's just really in there
selling and I am yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean,
you know, I mean, I'm which is funny because you
think they'd say, ah, the kid's gonna sell for us tonight,

(59:14):
We'll just fucking come in. But All's taking his ass whooping.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Scott Hall hits the fallaway slam here on the Rock
for two and tags in the Big Man.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Which is funny because Rock of course hit the ropes
and went for his patent it go for the cross body,
which Rocky my Villa took over for a minute. He
felt like a young boy against Hall and went for
it again. That's fucking funny.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
Nash takes Rock to the corner, hits some knee lifts,
hits the elbows, measures them.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Nash tries to measure one up, tells the Rock to
suck it, but then Rock starts firing.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
Back stop pawning at the Rock.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Nash shuts it down with a knee and then tags
back out to Scott Hall here. I love that Rock
was always fighting back hmm.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
I mean he's if the crowd's going to rally behind
anybody to fuck it, like, get behind, I'm the fight.
It's gonna be the Rock.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
The Rocks punch is made for a good fighting back
sequence every time too. Yeah, they were you slapping the
shit out of the sequence.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Actually with Hal and Rock was fantastic because it's two
dudes fucking slap at each other.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Yeah, they do a quick strike exchange here before Scott
Hall pokes the eyes.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Bastard. Just dude. Never lost it, no, no, never, I mean,
and thankfully Jerry Jarrett has a fed for him here.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Soon he should come in with a strip club shirt
on matherles me. Rock hits a spinebuster for the double down.
Someone on commentary says, tag me brother. So Hogan comes
in off the hot tag bumps everybody. Hogan hits the
big boot and then the leg drop on the Scott Hall.

(01:00:46):
But Nash breaks it up.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Dude, Nash lays on him with his elbow drop to
break it up too.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
I was like, damn Xbox gets a kick Como in
the corner on Hogan Haul grabs that sleeper.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Yeah, off the whip, yes, sir.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
The ref checks Hogan's arm three times. He comes alive
on the third one that dorowd goes insane.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
That's god damn reight brother, Well Hogan hot tags.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Kane Caine comes in with a flying cane line on
Scott Hall.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
It's a tiltal world slam on Xpot. His first move
is to climb up and do the cane clothes on it.
I said, holy shit, man, that's nuts. And he Caine
is so fast here, like his getting up after everything
he's doing. I was like, Wow, this is too big
of a dude to be moving like this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
He should shock Shane McMahon's battles with the car battery.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Well, we should shave his head first and take the
mask off first, dude. I think that's a good idea.
Keep the little hairs on, dude. Look at me, brother,
I got some soot from my motorcycle for a year. Face.
So Kane has a sidewalk slam on Scott Hall.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Here Nash comes back in and uh big boots and
Xpot gets shit can Nash. It's a big boot on cane.
But Rock comes in and then Rock does the suck
it gimmicking lines him out of the rig.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Dude, which I mean, Rock is just the best ats
dealing someone' shit and making him look stupid for it,
and that's what he does.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
The nash here, so Xpot goes for the Bronco buster
on Cain, but Kane goozles them hits the choked slam.
Hogan sends hall away and Caine picks up the wind
for his team.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
Yeah, and Hogan and Rock both get in and grab
both of King's arms. They raise them in victory and
Cain then does the pyro and Hogan sells it like
his life is a danger. What the fuck, dude, don't
ever do that shit about that?

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
What is this? Dude?

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
This second hour already start? Brother, I'm in hell, dude,
that's not hot. Well, Chris Jericho versus Matt Hardy is
up next.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
Yes, we get a little recap of Matt talking show
with Jericho and Jericho jumping him.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Leita and Matt come out here in glowing the dark jackets,
which looked hard as fuck. Yes, I love this outfit. Yeah,
sh was cool. I don't know how long this last
or if it made it to the games, but it
was very cool. Jericho was in his Here comes the
paying gear he is, which I think is his wrestling
the eighteen gear if I'm not mistaken. The green yeah,
the green tights, Yeah, that is his. Here comes the

(01:03:12):
pain gear. Yeah cool. Look I like it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Well, Matt runs him down and him and Jericho Hot
start in the middle. Uh, Matt hits a clothes line.
Here he mounts Jericho with some punches, and you see
the raw draft picks on the bottom of the screen.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
I didn't even look at this one. I was like,
because I'm if I remember correctly, the raw side was
just not nearly as cool as downside.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Yeah, it wasn't like the end of Oh yeah they
got an impact player.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Hello, Oh just incredible Jason. Uh don Marie. I think
she just signed like around this time. She's so she's
coming in here soon. Well, Matt hits the side effect
for the two.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Jericho rolls through a sunset flip and tries to lock
in the wall to Jericho, but Matt pushes Jericho off
and he accidentally knocks Leda off the apron while the
ref checks on her and Jericho low blows Matt and
locks on the walls and Matt taps and Jericho picked
up the win.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
It was lion Tamer style too. It looked cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
great finish here. I thought, good stuff. And then after
Jericho's leaving and he walks by Leda, who's now getting up.
She's obviously hurt, and he shoves her down and puts
her in the walls of Jericho on the floor. Fuck.
So we go backstage. Everyone is here at the APA party.
Business has picked up. The beer party is commencing. APA.

(01:04:35):
Both have their shirts off to Jerry has joined the game.
I guess he brought the booze to. Jerry and Christian
are smoking penises. Dude, they're smoking penis is big time. Yeah,
they got the goddamn stogies. Hurricanes here, Valvenus, Jacqueline, Funaki,
Ivory Booker, Godfather, Spike Dudley all here. As you said,
Christian and Jerry are now in the game. And Bradshaw
says that he looks behind him and Godfather and Valor

(01:04:57):

valven Has jumped into that nude bar and they said, yeah,
you remember that ship man. Goddamn no one remembers a
fucking thing about al Venus. What the fuck is gonna

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
Are you talking about the big Valbowski anyway? Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
By the way, Christian's outfit here is nuts. He's got
the leather jacket on with your hair slick back in
the bonytail.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
Jess, Yeah, he came to the party. He was even better.
He's walking around backstage like this. This is his alta
tire and shut your mouth. So Fruke points a hurricane
and says, oh, hero, back here, man, And then they
put Booker t five times time and books fucking fucking

(01:05:43):
fetuses too, and Christian says, hey, speaking a jumper, Remember
that time we jumped you guys and hit you with
the And then everyone turns and looks at him and
they're fucking not happy, and frug looks him, says, man,
what you got, and Jerry puts his hand down. He
says oh and to Jerry one and everyone's fired up.
But Bradshaw looks at Torri and says, get niked, and

(01:06:07):
Tory stands up and they're all fired up, and she
takes her body jewelry off and everyone booze and they're.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Just Christian's reaction here has gotta be one of my
favorite things ever.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
I love Christian. I think this guy is awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
I mean he he always just knows the exact thing
to do.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
This is very good. It's it's very kurd angle like
in his like commitment. Uh he I mean, this is
so goddamn funny. So be it a Christian. And Christian
looks at his hand and he's disappointed. He says, one
card away from a real flush and he throws his

(01:06:51):
damn it, dammit, I got damn one card away. He's pushing,
he's knocking it off the table. The beers go flying,
He's throwing an unreal tantrum, smacking the table, kicking the table,
got away.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
The Christians are so fucking funny, real.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
First, damn it. I mean it's his entire body is
slamming all this table, knocking beer everywhere. Yeah, he's and says,
damn god, so so fucking funny.

Speaker 6 (01:07:33):
I mean, what a tantrum stuff? Right yeah, like right here,
Like I believe they they probably saw this and then
we're like.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Yeah, it's either was this or like he was already
doing it, so they said, incorporate this into all your
promos too. Yeah, guys, some ass.

Speaker 7 (01:07:47):
Now the Dudley's will they did.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
We have r v D versus Test Intercontinental Championship match.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Rv D is the champion and.

Speaker 7 (01:07:59):
Test has immunity forever.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Just to let you know, I couldn't believe when I
heard that. Later in the match, Tony the Test immunity things.

Speaker 7 (01:08:08):
It goes on for his entire careers after this.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
He has immunity for the community. Well, sadly it's not forever.
No and one nothing is right. I'm sure he's got
to go to n w Ah Jerry jar.

Speaker 7 (01:08:21):
Community there too, or maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
Daniel Peter contract style where there's like an asterisk about
the as does not have immunity to that things do
not go on. He has the opposite of immunity. He's
actually lucky he got there one match.

Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
That's the punish your r that's not Test, Oh right,
that's Andrew Mark.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
So rv D.

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
He got in the ring here with the intercontin Championship.
I mean, this era RVD is so fucking good. By
the way, I'm a huge fan of this era of
rv D.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
He's a beast.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
Yeah, he went to do his gimmick here in the
ring and uh he got cut off by the Intercondo
Championship thing, which I thought was funny.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
Yeah, he says, you know, Himble's doing his intro and
Rvy's cheat up for the taunt, and then Shell has
more to say. They on the champ that's awesome. He
also got the raw name plate as well. Whoa, I'm
not on Raw.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
This is smack though, I'm the champion of the inter
I hope I don't fucking face Test. So RVD starts
fast here on Test, but Test catches him and hot
shots him off the top rope. Love that move, yeah,

(01:09:38):
I do to RVD hits a load drop kick and
a sid kick with a.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
Moon salt for it too. He's lett him fly.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
So Test tries to use the ropes here, but Hebner
notices that too, and h Test, of course is not
He's not happy. He pushes Earl Hebner and uh, Earl
Hebner hits the ropes classic style. He comes back, he
pushes Test and r V he kicks the shit out
of him.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
He's got a muteity, he has a beaunity. He's immune
and he can do whatever he wants. He's a beaunity,
the beutey. He doesn't have immunity from these hands. Pick
a hand already super kicks the shit out of him.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
RVD goes for a sunset flip here, but Test grabs
the ropes with both hands. Hmmm, dick, so Earl Hebner
fucking jumps and kicks Test hands off the ropes.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
It's so exaggerated, like Earl is putting his entire body
weight into knocking his hands off the ropes, and Test goes.
He counts the pin but it's only a two, and
fucking Test gets up. He lines RVD and Tests his pissed,
and he looks a super pissed. Now they're staring at
each other. He's walking Earl down, and Earl looks at him,
and Test grabs him, and Earl says, knock it off.

(01:10:49):
Test goes the punch it, but already catches the punch,
Thank god. Well.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
Test goes for a power bomb here, but RVD rolls
through and pins them. When Earl fast counts the three, you're.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Damn right, don't fuck we're heaven her, yeah, Earl and
already both powder. Test is fucking pissed, and Lawler on
commentary says Earl screwed test. Earl screwed test. Well, we
go backstage, Raven is chilling.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Jonathan Coachman comes up and says, is your DDT called
the Raven Effect?

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Are you fucking the HD? What's going on down there?
So Raven? Uh yeah, coach says, you find yourself back
in the WF drafted to raw by Rick Flair, in
the lottery and thought, and tonight you face Raven for
the hardcore title. I couldn't believe it. I can't believe
we're watching the Raven Maven, And Raven says Coach. Who

(01:11:46):
I wrestle for is less important than what I wrestle for.
My first objective it being the hardcore title. To quote
Oscar Wilde, you hear this? To quote Oscar Wilde, they
say we destroy the things we love, but really the
things we love destroy us. Have you guys thought about that?
For example, think about it a lot. His passion has
led to a success, but it will be his waterloo
courtesy of what has become known as the even FLOWDDT

(01:12:09):
and Raven then leave, Just go ahead and cut that, brother,
You know that's not right. Come back here, Raven, Scott, Scott, brother,
come back here. You're gonna do it right this time.
Say the line right. You tried that ship in w CW, brother,

(01:12:31):
and that's not working here on SmackDown the Blue Brint.
You might have got one over on Eric Bishaw, but
not on the wood Master. Brother. Now you're gonna do
this again. Sit back on that hockey net, dude, I
don't know why you were on that the first place.
Would sit there? Cole even says, what in the world
was he talking about? And who the hell is Oscar
Wild Brother? The Oscar I know, dude, Oscar Meyer. He

(01:12:55):
got the dog's brother.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
So we have the very very anticipated matchup between everybody
that's ever watched wrestling.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
Dude, Maven and Raven. This is very important. This feels
like a rare pull.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Yes, this is very important Maven and Raven. Every kid
that ever watched wrestling.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
Came up with the same thing. What if Maven faced
Ray and I gotta tell you, James, it's so rare
that on TV this singles match has happened only one time.
They've only so it happened at two house shows, but
on TV this is the only time they face in
a singles The other time they wrestled two house shows
the singles, and then there was a raw house show

(01:13:41):
that had Dlo Brown, Johnny Stanbully, Maven and Spike Dully
beat Christopher Nowinsky just incredible, Raven and Shone O'Hare legendary, unreal,
unreal this time.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
The The funny thing is like, as a kid, I mean,
like you would come up with the this is what
you would come up with, right right, You're like, if
I was booking WrestleMania, I would have Mavon and Raven.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
Why because their names are the same. Look at the names,
Like the story rights itself. Are you kidding me? And
the winner keeps the name?

Speaker 7 (01:14:15):
Oh that's right, Yeah, that's the angle.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
Yeah, I mean this was this was everything I could
have ever wanted.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
Yeah, maybe, I mean Rare pull Raven Maven. Only time
on TV ever, they have.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Someone in the crowd with an I Love Maven sign,
by the way, and the dude says, hey, the camera's
over there.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
That was smelled wrong, Dude, was Raven? Cock cock cock
cock cock cock Man has his definitely his theme here
as well.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Come on, yes, dude, the cock cock car with the
bird doing the cawing on the tron legendary.

Speaker 7 (01:14:51):
Dude, I love that song so much, try to download it.
Got a little kid saying.

Cock cock that LimeWire hit because he's a Raven.

Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
Of course I got the dotty Xy loves Ravens.

a rhino, right, dude, Rhino's theme was bad as too. No,
I know here he goes. Bird Man is here, dude,
that was my boy. I loved him on Heat. Oh well,

(01:15:26):
don't I have the thing for you for the next
two years.

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
Well, Raven comes out here with the trash can full
of weapons.

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
Can you figure out why they only had one signal? Well,
you know, it's just different shows, of course, that's right, right, yeah, yeah,
they definitely could have just ran it back on you
whatever they wanted. No, no, no, come on, they're saving
it for Ussel said.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Maybe Mayben's on SmackDown, Raven is on Raw. Right, we
start the match off here, Maven dropkicks Raven who is
holding a trash Can you can see why this match worked?

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
And slides Raven. They they have Jerry Lawler explain on commentary,
which is why I should have known what happens here.
Walla says, oh, you know, Vince didn't drave Maven because
he likes Maven. He did it because he wanted the
hardcore title of his show. And I'm like, oh, okay,
that sucks. That's mean to fucking say to Mavin.

Speaker 8 (01:16:27):
That's yeah, that sucks for maybe put the kid over
a little, that's fine, And Cole says, you know this
chipper he is, he's like legit the ultimate, like this
kid has something, hopefully and that's uh, that's actually him
for the whole rest of his run, the fucking tremendous
song and uh for between this time in two thousand

(01:16:49):
and five, yet the greatest job of his life.

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
He should make a whole choir on that. Cole says,
this kik is quite confusing, and Waala says, why's that close?
Says well mavon Raven right, yes, James god Man, holy
ship who in one go?

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
Yeah, this was musty television, anyone, anyone? Well, Raven grabs
two trash can lids and starts firing off on Maven's head.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
I mean he wails on them with these two trash
can lids, beats the absolute ship out of them. Well,
Maven grabs both lids.

Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
And starts smashing Raven's head and then he grabs a
broom and wicked witches him.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
Dude. He puts it between his fucking crotch and makes
him ride the sucker, and he upper cuts him with
the trash can lid and then he hit him in
the stomach with the broom. And I mean the business
is picked up here, and so much so that Maven
has a tremendous next spot.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
Raven's Raven sends Maven up and over in the corner
and Maven lands on the apron and slips off and
hits the floor.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Dude, Jerry Lawler might as well ran into the ring
and pissed his pants. Laugh and like he fucking laughs
crazy at Mavin. The crowds aren't chanting. You fucked up?

Speaker 7 (01:18:18):
Do you tell you Vince didn't want him, He just
wanted the title?

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
Do he tell you that? Yeah? Do you know that
we fucking hate this guy? And Raven Doo for whatever reason?
My son.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
Well maybe hits a missile drop kick and goest pin,
but Tommy Dreamer interferes with a cookie sheet.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
Yeah, he interferes. And he's also spitting water every second
he moves. What the fuck is he doing well?

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
Mayven hits a flying forearm on Dreamer, but Raven dropped
toe holds him into the chair and hits the Raven
effect for the three.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
What the hell, that's not what I wrote down here.
That's what it is even flow DDT. Of course he
wins with that's the main event move. I also, by
the way, wrote flying Burrito into the cooking sheet because
we've been watching so much Santana. Yeah, it fucking re
flying Burrito. That's what I know it as. Now Raven
gets a title that he deserves, the Hardcore title, which

(01:19:12):
is really like the easy w World title when you
think about it. I can't get over the the tron
bird actually caring. I mean, like this even get.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
It as as a young person. I had to be
nine ten something like that around this time, right the
bird kawing with Raven versus Maven.

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
This is my mania, Like this is everything, you know
what it It could have been Wrestlmania seventeen because Tomic Dreamers.
It could have been an ultimate for a lot of
us here. But they took him out the same way too,
with a flying Well we go back stage.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
Vince is here with Kurt Angle and he's pissed because
SmackDown fucking lost the hardcore title.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
Goddamn it, Now I just have did did Vince fuck
this up? Or was he calling Mavon a creep? I
thought he was meant to say Raven because he won
the title. But he calls Mavon a cream like, Yeah,
it's Kurt and Vince back stage and they're in their
gear and you see that we just we just lost
the hardcourt Championship for SmackDown, that creep Mavn. Damn? What

(01:20:30):
the fuck?

Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
Why?

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
I tell you I'm not gonna lose laying in that
free agent stone Cold see Austin fucking damn. Okay, it
was gonna make it as a handful on the road.
So Kurt says, well, I heard a rumor he's gonna
show up on Raw on raw man, I owe not,

(01:20:55):
or I hope. So whatever did you say, Raven? We
gotta do this again? Dude? I mean you're all over
the place. May dude, brother, you fucked it all up?
What the fuck is he doing here? Who is he
talking to do it again? And mention me? He can't

(01:21:19):
mention me, Okay, el sir, I guys, I'll try that. Oh,
I'm so angry that maybe lost the title, and it
is good. That was awesome. Brother Love.

Speaker 7 (01:21:50):
Doesn't say anything about Austin or or anything, just.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Alrightright it up, shit, Vince? Uh Curt? Here is that
Stone Call's gonna show up? And Robin says I'm gonna
be there to bring him a smack down, and Kurt says, well,
forget about Austin, what about dude, you nail? So we

(01:22:26):
go backstage.

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
We are back at the A p A party and
Hurricane is chugging a beer till he passes out.

Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
Dude, They're saying, chug oh no, sorry, everyone's shanning Hero Hero,
Hero me and season W seven and Hurricane drinks chugs
this beer and he falls over, and Regal walks in.
William Brige walks in, and Bradshaw says, hey, redcoat, how
you do it? Says this isn't this all very pleasant?
I mean the A p A having a party, A

(01:22:53):
few lowly tarts here and your fellow low life. You
know it's funny last week I told you, and it's
come true that the APA is now officially out of business.
You can hear Booker in the back. Oh he didn't
have to go there, dog and valvinus sorry. Big Valboski
steps up and puts one hundred dollars on the table
and says, well, I got a hundred bucks on and

(01:23:14):
Rechel Sobson says, no, you're right. We are out of business,
and it looks like we're out of beer. So I
guess the party has just about ended. So he fucking
stands up. He reaches over the table, grabs Regal, drags
him over the table. For some reason, this seems very
odd to me. Everyone leaves as this happens, except Spike Dudley.

(01:23:35):
Whufruk beats the shit up. Why why did Spike catch
a straight here?

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
What should have got out quicker? Like, that's what happens
in the bars, man, when the fights breakout. You gotta
get out of there. You're going to join the scuffle, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
It was so fucking funny. I'm looking around and away
from the pan out to show everybody down, or like
APA was gonna take everybody out. No, I just see
Hurricane drunkling there, get a table flipped on top of them,
and Spike Dudley's laid down. So Fruk and Bradshaw are
standing together and Fruk says, last party Hun Bradshaw says

(01:24:11):
has been a good run. Huh. Fruke says, it has
go out the same way we came in, and they
walk and they go to the APA door. By the way,
I don't know how much we talked about that. I
mean them just having a door to go into anywhere
they wanted that has a table set up.

Speaker 7 (01:24:25):
And amazing, like and went for business with you unless
you go through the door.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
Do you walk around the door and disrespect like we're
not even acknowledging you. But like, whoever came up with that,
it's fucking complete genius. I mean, this hole. There's no
way that they thought that like this is the plan
where any of the APA stuff went or anything like that.
But like, man, what a one, what a team. I
mean they were ass kickers as the acolytes like in
the fucking ministry. Yeah right, yeah. Like the fact that

(01:24:51):
they were able to do more together after that and
it evolved is like pretty cool because I mean they're
both ass kickers. I like watching them wrestle and the
APA gimmick and a lot like that was always a
bright spot of these.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
Shows like this, like just brawlers like they were just
you know, you go in there and you're gonna get
an ass whooping, and we're not gonna be in there long,
but we're gonna be in there doing our thing.

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
And I always thought that was really cool about them. Yeah, no, sweet.
They walk out the APA door and they close it
and Bradshaw says wow, and Fruk says, hard to believe, Bradshaw,
this is satisfucked. Bradshaw reaches down and he grabs the
sign that has come in we're open, and he looks
at it and turns it over to the side that
it says sorry, we're closed, and he hangs that up

(01:25:35):
on the door and the crowd booze and Bradshaw says,
thank you. Fruke says, it's been real and they dap up.
Let's go out in the room, and a spotlight shines
on the door and zooms in on the sign that
is the end of the APA for now. That was
hard as fuck. I like that. I love that. Like
that was like yeah because eventually, like so they get together,

(01:25:57):
right spoilers, They get back together when Bradshaw has later
that does happen to Jesus Bradshaw's the Blonde hair, the
APA gets back together and then they split up again,
but it's because Paul Hayman wants to fire for Ruke
and Fruke's like, what the fuck? And then Bradshaw stays
because Paul Hyman puts him over and gets in his head.

(01:26:18):
So Brett, that's the start of Bradshaw's turn, and then
Fruke has gone from there. But so that is way,
you know, this one's way sadder to me of it,
And this is said also, I like it way more
because like team's just kind of going out like, hey, fuck,
it's time.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
Like I think that's awesome, great character work backed up
by just real snug guys in the ring, hard to beat,
very credible uh stuff here too from them.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
Yeah, it's awesome. And Fruk's gonna go on to feud
with Reverend Devon over masturbating and Bradshaw is gonna have
the hardcore title for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
So now it's time for the main event. Vin sick
Man and Kurt Angle versus Rick Flair and Triple H.
Flair comes out here. He has his dress pants on,
no shirt, no gear. I guess he wasn't ready for
a fight to night.

Speaker 1 (01:27:06):
No he you know he had to do what's what
was the right thing right then he had slacks on
and a belt on with it as well to keep
the pants up.

Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
He's in great shape, he looks awesome, he looks good.
So Vince wants to start the match here, and Kurt
says cool and smacks his ass.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
You know, a little good game before the game.

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
And Vince then does a lot spread in flexes as
triple H, backs off and tags Flair, which I thought
was funny.

Speaker 1 (01:27:30):
That was pretty good. I like, I got a good
reaction from the crowd too. And then uh Vince, uh
Vincent at the bell rings and Vince immediately tags out
to Kurt.

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
So Flair Fargo struts here to start things off.

Speaker 1 (01:27:42):
They lock up.

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
Kurt backs Flair to the corner here, but Flair pokes
him in the eyes and chops him down to the
other corner.

Speaker 1 (01:27:49):
I mean, immediate bullshit. Is the dirtiest player in the game.
That is fucking awesome. Also, someone in the crowd, I think,
right when you lost that game's wrong with young with you?
That's fucked up. Don't fucking dick that. So, yeah, the

(01:28:11):
when when Flair and and Curder in the corner somebody
in the crowd yells you're on sterro who said that
it's a tape show? Still near? So Triple H comes in.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
He beats down angle till Angle hits an overhead belly
to belly, Triple H fires out of the corner with
that goozle takedown.

Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
Dude, class bullshit. I hated that move in the games
because I would always it would always catch me off guard.
It's also a long animation. It is he chokes the
ship out of you forever.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
Some animations are so long it's so frustrating to get
like hit by it because you're like, wow, I have
to sit here and look at this forever.

Speaker 1 (01:28:53):
It's like the it might be a to Jerry move
to Jerry had a few of them. The punch combo
to Jerry does is annoying, and also the one where
he like chain rustle kip up legs just fuck no damage,
gives you no meter. It's just the longest waste that time.
Did you like how Flair encouraged Triple H here? Did

(01:29:16):
you hear him? No? What was he saying? Come on?

Speaker 2 (01:29:19):
Triple that is his first name, Come on, Triple, Come on,
it's on first day basis.

Speaker 1 (01:29:31):
That's fucking great.

Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
Well, Flair and Triple A's chopped down Kurt in the
corner and they double Fargo's strut.

Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
Oh my god, this was drug amendous man double Fargo truck.
Kurts feeds out and gets double chopped.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
Well, Kurt face washes Flair, but Flair whips Curt off
the ropes into the sleeper. Well, Vince comes in he
starts working on Flair's leg.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
They try not to laugh at the leg work on commentsary,
I mean, Vince has never watched wrestling, Like, what the
fuck it's going on here? Well, Triple h.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
Comes to make the stop and the ref helps him
to go back to his corner, and Vince and Kurt
take advantage here, son of a bitch. Vince goes for
the figure four, but Flair kicks him off and chops
him down. Comes in and stops the Triple Ah hot tag,
and Flair mule kicks Kurt as the ref is turned
around and goes for the figure four.

Speaker 1 (01:30:25):
Dude, Okay, was this the where where there's the weird
zoom in? Did you see this? No, there's a weird
it's when Kurt I might be jumping ahead a little
and if I am, I apologize. But there's a part
where Kurt goes to like German Flare and the Mule
cooks him. Is that this one? Oh maybe I didn't
see that. He grabs him around the waist, but the
shot is like zoomed in in weird quality, which made

(01:30:46):
me think that the referee blatantly saw the low blow
and they had to cut the ref out of the shot.
I think that's what happened, Deer. It looked super weird
on the at least, I don't know how it's how
it aired, and I thought it was like, oh, maybe
I don't know how I care.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
I mean Flair like literally low blows him right in
front of the ref.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
In a minute, he kicks fucking Vince right in the ball.
Yeah yeah, maybe at that point, like, oh fuck it,
there's too many of them. But yeah, it was just
super weird.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
Kurt comes in, he stops the Triple H hot tag
here Flare Mule kicks him. Yeah, Kurt reverses the figure
four into the ankle lock. That was awesome, but Triple
H breaks it up and hits the Raven effect.

Speaker 1 (01:31:24):
Yeah, what the fuck? You can't, dude, Ravens even flow
on the show that he's on. He won with that earlier.
Can we have some can we have some fucking respect?

Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
Vince tags in, he locks in the figure four on Flair,
but Flair turns it over and.

Speaker 1 (01:31:40):
Reverses the pressure. He at least got the figure four right.
Like that didn't look like a mess.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
The figure four might be one of the best submissions ever.
I mean, the reverse and the pressure thing is crazy
cheese like that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:31:53):
Yes, and like everyone knows it and everyone wants it too,
so like it's an easy pop.

Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Triple H and Kurt both come and Triple H hits
the spinebuster for a two.

Speaker 1 (01:32:02):
Brutal uh.

Speaker 2 (01:32:03):
Flair bumps Vince out, but Vince grabs the belt and
he comes in.

Speaker 1 (01:32:07):
He hits Triple H with it when the ref was turned.
Come on, man, fucking bullshit, you went for the pedigree.
And yeah, by the way, I don't know if you noticed.
I don't know if it was on purpose. Vince purposely
used the WWF title and not the WCW one for that,
I mean calculated, completely calculated. Kurt pins Triple H but
it's only a two, well two point nine, and Vince

(01:32:31):
once some more he's mine.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Vince hits the jake something double axe to the bat.
What are you doing, dude? He like.

Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
I'm guessing he was anticipating a cutoff, because Vince always
does this. This is a classic Vince raised the arms
up for double ax and get cut off with a
low blow or something. But he just does it. I said, Oh,
that's fucking crazy looking.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
Yeah, Vince's the double ax and then Fargo struts over
the Flair and he starts Fargo strutting.

Speaker 1 (01:33:03):
Backwards and hits him with a line. Oh. Then Rick
Flair comes off the top with the slid. My goodness,
house chizou?

Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
Yeah for real, Flair just straight up load blows Vince
in the corner the repslide, looking at his dick and
balls and just says, all right, dude, he probably deserves it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
They're in the fucking corner. Flair is chopping away at Vince.
He's chopping the life out of him. Vince is selling
this crazy with his face. Ah. And then Flair legit
punts him in the balls and then grabs him and
starts doing the knuckle punches. Okay, whatever, I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
Well, Flair gets the leg up for the figure four
and he kicks him in the dick again. Whatever fucket,
but Undertaker is here, the big red Devil, say big
boots Rick Flair. He pulls on top and damn it.

(01:34:02):
Vince and Kurt pick up the win.

Speaker 1 (01:34:05):
Come on, man, bullshit that goddamn red Devil the Undertaker
who he was drafted by Flair first, uh, because Flair
was being an asshole and now Taker's going to make
his life out of living now. Taker drags Vince out
of the ring and walks up the ramp with him,
and Cole says, is this a bad omen for Raw?
Don't worry. Raw gets a lot worse here soon you

(01:34:27):
don't even know the half of it. Later for more whatever,
the brand extensions in full swing on Raw. The WWF
as we know it has been changed forever who you
don't even knowbody even you don't know how true that is.
I so we and I'll put on back to the curtain.

(01:34:48):
We picked this because we thought this was the episode
where the draft had started, but that doesn't start yet,
so we said, fuck it, let's watch this one, and
then eventually we'll watch the Raw after the first draft,
and then the Smack then after the first draft why
the fuck not. It was an interesting little history here
that this was the last shower.

Speaker 6 (01:35:05):
See all the line all the teams breakup, like the
Dudley's and the APA and all that, and then see
the Canaani promo is pretty funny too, just because I've
seen the meme that I've never actually seen the full
promo in the show.

Speaker 1 (01:35:16):
For him, right, Yeah, they shouldn't that clip forever. Well,
that is it for ww SmackDown, WWF SmackDown whatever you
