It's a new year.

Hey, Joey.

Joey. The nice bright blue ring canvas.

Yeah, it looks new.

Yep. It's not tattered and full of duct tape like the old one was. So as. As Pru said, this was Cyber Slam 97, February 22nd at the ECW Arena. But the night before, on my 12th birthday, they. They were at the Lost Battalion hall in Queens and did Cyber Slam as well. So it's wwe, not the first, not. Not the first company to run a big show two nights in a row.

Who are just waiting for a crack at revenge against the franchise. Shane Douglas, I give you.

Go over the house.

Joey almost pissed himself when they slid in. Yeah. Gary Wolf. Looking good.

I think it looks good.

I think so. I mean, considering he hasn't wrestled in almost. Almost a year, you know, eight months or whatever.

Looks better than Sheamus did recently.

Yeah.

Hey, Seamus. Looks all right, man.

Dude.

Yeah, but not compared to what he used to look like.

Yeah, it's like, I got you.

I am ready to kick some serious franchise ass.

There we go.

Tell us how you really feel.

What a really. Some Francine ass is what he meant.

Oh, yeah, he's so original.

Yeah, just copy your Gary Wolf. Dante sucks. I thought we got a clean car here. What's going on?

What the bleep? Yeah, I. I think this is still the. The TV version. It's just the original one that we would have seen on this date, you know, in 97. So it has the music and everything. I do like it when we. When we happen upon the uncensored ones.

Happen less and less.

Yeah.

That'S Gary, but it's like Jerry. Jerry.

Exactly what it is.

Oh, he called him Shawn Michaels. That's awesome.

The hot, right? Shane Douglas is not gonna like that. Is he just coming off of being chuckles? Basically.

Yeah.

Raises.

Nope.

Shane's got some and one short song.

Yeah, he does.

Oh, now they played music.

Francine's got a nice mesh body.

Oh, yes.

Everybody's giving him the bird. That one guy in the Hard Rock Cafe shirt was doing the jerk off hand motion.

Oh, yeah. Oh, you give him middle finger too.

Yep.

You up yours. Yeah, that thing. Yeah. Cut the music. You.

Name.

That's why Shane is the man.

I don't give a. About ECW And Paul.

Paul Heyman's games.

Yeah, he's calling out Paulie. You know, years before, people actually were starting to do that on a regular basis.

Yeah, well, that's how smart Shane Douglas is in general. He knows the business.

He's not. He's not afraid to. To speak his mind.

Yep, that's smart.

If you want a piece of ass wood, get up here. Both of you.

Don't want to stop yourself in any business. Call people out, because more than likely they're not going to defend themselves.

Nick, call out the.

Yep. Come on. Come to papa.

Bring the chains.

Sucker. Put him through it, Dozer. Put him through it.

All right, so Durante, football number two goes through the table.

He's.

He's mockingly sucks ass still. I don't care. He's never good.

Yeah, he keeps calling him Dozer, and I just like Dozer. Stop. Stop trying to make Dozer a thing.

Ricky. Dozer.

Ricky Dozer. Oh.

Yeah, we got a triple threat body going on here. They beat on Anthony Durante. Let me get the opening here.

While we're watching the intro, I. I heard something today, and I was a little. I don't say sad, but do you guys remember when you started this? The very first episodes of hardcore TV were at the field house at Cabrini College.

Yes.

Well, Cabrini College became Cabrini University, and they just went out of business. Oh, they shut. Yeah, they. They. Yeah, they shut down. This was their last year. Villanova is taking over the property, I guess.

Oh.

But, yeah, they just. They couldn't. They couldn't survive, you know, the endowment. The endowment wasn't enough to cover everything, so they. They discovered this about a year ago, and they announced that, like, we got one more year in us, and then we're done. So it wasn't a complete, you know, shock to the faculty.

That still shocked the faculty, regardless.

Oh, right, right. But they. They were given a year's notice of. Okay, that. As opposed to, hey, you. You know, by the way, I know this is the. The last day of classes, but you're out of a job after graduation. You know, I'm.

I. I'm wondering how many good teachers left right away.

Oh, right.

Like writing on the wall.

Yeah, right. Or just new. How does it go?

I mean, it also. It also could be a thing where the college might have had some way to kind of like incentivize staying. You know, who knows.

An ultimate fighter besides Ken Shamrock about to Make a national appearance.

Ken Shamrock.

Yeah, it's Joey Pump pimping the hotline and talking about.

Wow.

Ken Shamrock.

Yeah, they're promoting. Joey's promoting on the hotline. What we had just previously watched.

Right.

On the Monday Night Raw episode where Ken Shamrock was like, Jerry Law. I don't know who the is. Oma, man, you're a liar.

He's a liar. And then they got Todd petting interview him, and he's like, walking him through the interview. It was great.

Bam Bam versus Bam Bam. What's this song?

Hey, man, nice shot from Filter.

We've played this before, right?

Yes, I believe so.

All right. Because I did set up, like, a song that we had talked about last week. It's like, I know this is coming up, and it's Gravity Kills Guilty, right? So if it comes up, whatever. If doesn't come up, whatever. We're playing it. Whatever the. The. Is this Terry Funk's music?

I don't know.

What the hell is this?

What the is this? Okay, all the way live.

Mountaintop Madness, boys.

And by the way, while we're doing this all the way live, welcome to Territory. Nine years.

Nine years.

Special anniversary. Nine years June. Going all the way back to 2015.

Wow.

Crazy.

Very much so, yeah.

I think, you know, JV and I did the Hurricane R wrestling podcast, and, you know, we were buddies with them just within the first year. We started in 2016, and we were helping promoting them. They were pulling us. Awesome. And now we're JV Goon Squad.

Yes, sir.

And I feel like that JV Goon Squad name came from jv.

So it's his Goon squad.

Yeah, mine. David, get the props.

Because of my initial. Because of my nickname.

Well, Doc. Doc came up with it. But yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna give you the credit for the.

I guess I'll take it.

Yeah, take it, Doc, because he doesn't want to do his. Do our ECW show ever.

Yeah.

You know, act like he knows all the ecw.

I do respect for being very upfront, like, I'm never doing it. Yeah, I can relate to that kind of behavior.

Yeah, JV is Doc. Basically.

New England Combat Zone.

From the Combat Zone.

From the Combat.

Oh, he's a Mavericks fan too, huh?

Yeah. All right, now we got a big match. This is from a cyber slam 97. We got the Eliminators defending that titles against Rob Van Dam and Sabu. And dude, this is one of my favorite matches. I love this match.

Really?

You're not gonna find any hate unless I watch it now and realize I hate Zabu more well. But I really like Sabo and his match from what I remember. We'll see. Rick, what's your initial thoughts on this match?

I think if I. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before, but I'm not sure if I remember all of it. So I, I initial thoughts are this either could be really good or it could be some. So sloppy.

Is this the second night of Cyber Slam?

I believe so. Yeah.

Right. This is, this is definitely CW arena, right?

Yeah, yeah, they did, they did this same. Not the same match, but the same matchup. You know, Eliminators versus Sabu and RVD the night before at Lost Battalion. But this is, this is at the arena in Philly.

Right. And Rick, what is Cyber Slam all about?

Cyber. Yeah, they. The year before. So cyber slam 96. They created it. They might have done 1 in 95, I can't remember. But they basically created it as an Internet convention to get all the people that were able to see ECW around the country to get them all in one location for a show. Like people coming in kind of like Wildcat does X rated. And Mike Mills wants to get people to come all over. Come in from all over, I should say. There you go.

I gotta tell you guys about that. If you want to go tickets to where Wallace.

Where.

Not Nolan's. But that's basically what Cyber Slam is. It's kind of like fake convention. Right. It's a fan convention for, you know, the Internet wrestling community essentially. Last year was where Brian Pillman showed up and cursed out Eric Bischoff and then threatened to urinate in the ring.

Right. If people thought Brian was going to do something big here as well.

Yeah.

But right now in ring action, I think it's pretty good.

Yeah, I do.

I didn't hear some people booing. No. Off. This is good.

Got a great pace.

Yeah, they're, they're, they're keeping it simple. They're not overdoing it right now.

The thing is this is a lot of match. It's a tag team match. Build it slow. And they're doing it. And that's the problem with ECW audience at this point is they're not ready to wait. They want this right away.

They want the high spots. Because it's a Sabu match.

Exactly. And look at that clone is coming in the way he came in there.

Yeah, yeah. The front handspring.

Right. Front handspring jumping in. Tower's over. Sabo with his pajama pants. Sabu Got a sand and switch switch. What do you guys have? You have cross down. Down on the mountain.

He's got him in a Kimura basically.

Take down.

Yeah, Sabu's stomping from now and he's pinning him.

Lame.

I think it's pacing.

Well, yeah, I like the pacing and I like Cronus in this spot. Oh, I like that Sabu trips. What I don't like is power moves like that. Not getting three counts. If you're not gonna get a three count, don't even cover right. Slam them down and go for another move. Hey, I'm just McProo. I don't know.

Yeah, I think the ECW crowd's getting a little bit bored with all the headlocks. And they are.

They're really bored in this match, which is astounding to me because this is probably the best match they're gonna see throughout Cyber Slam 97.

Right. I forget what else is on the card. This. This was not the main event of night two.

This is. Yeah, this is one of the big matches, though.

Oh, it is, it is. Absolutely.

Yeah, I. Yeah, scroll through the notes. I have. I have the card. I think the Terry Funk match is the main event, which it should be.

Yeah, this apparently opened. This apparently opened the. The show.

On night two.

Night two. Yeah, yeah, it was the main event of night one, but then it opened the show on night two.

Horrible. Oh, sorry. I'll read his drop kicked.

Yeah, that's. That's an eyesore on the match now. You remember that?

That was bad.

It's so bad that A is like, oh, I gotta try to do that. And he push up again. Do invert, surfboard, whatever the you want. Is that what it is, Rick? Turf one.

Yeah.

Shitty waist lock by reverse.

Reverse. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let me just drop you nuts on this.

That was a shitty. A shitty move too.

Yep.

Now the crowd's excited. See, people fell on the rink. Easy them. You see them? Yeah, I don't blame him. Sabu hasn't been that bad.

Nope. No, those botches were not Saboo.

Not Sabot. Yeah, Stupid. Yeah, okay, whatever. All right, so you had a spot where guys are setting up though. RVD and Saturn was adding up lot of this and they couldn't agree on how it should be set up. Oh, they got drop kicked into it and all the action goes outside. Hey, how about that God rail right there? How. How out of warp is that thing?

Yeah.

Holy. Did you guys see that?

Yeah, it's like bowed in the middle.

Yeah, it's boat Nothing to fucking madness. But that's wobbly. Doubly.

Drop it like it's hot.

Drop a bag. It's hot. Is that Fin or is that Molono? What is it?

Let me see him.

I think it's only Mal around at this point.

Yeah, that's possible.

How badass Saturn is at this point though. That got out of the way.

That's Finnegan and Molineau. They're both there.

Yeah, they both are.

Oh, that was nice.

Yeah.

Finally hid something.

That was Chris.

Yeah, that was. That was really good.

I like it.

Oh, chair over the top rope.

We get a good sorting angle coming here, right?

Yes. At the end.

Oh.

Ah. I like that. Right off the third step of the laying down chair. The ladder rather.

Yeah.

Let me bounce off this. Boom. That's pretty cool.

Yeah, but it made sense because it was a desperation.

Yeah, desperation move. I like it. Yeah. Oh, Sabo's now taking to extreme.

Yeah. Rolling Thunder.

All right, this. This match is picking up.

Really.

That wasn't quite Roll Thunder. Cuz it was. It was the. The splash version, not the Senton version. But his. His leg hit that ladder hard when he did that leg drop.

I have on Sabu a lot. Maybe both. Both of us. This is one of my favorite cyber matches.

I like it.

Lemonade is a great. RVD is great. This is awesome.

Yeah, look at that.

Take a break. Don't go away.

Chrome.

270 something pounds. And you can do that.

Oh my God. This is one of my favorite songs. Oh, we got to play this, right?

Have we played it already?

I feel like we. This.

You think so?

I could be wrong.

It's out of sight.

I mean, it is a good song.

I did already list a song that we have on. On Tap from the last episode, which was Gravity Kills. Guilty. The song reminds me of the. The song with the piano and the paint and the fish. The. That song, huh?

The piano and the paint and the fish.

Yeah. What was this song? You know what it is. All right. Not at this point, but second ladder in the ring.

The piano, the paint and the fish.

I'll find that. Go. The hits the ladder.

There it is. I like how they went back to it.

Yep.

Between the eyes. Back in comes Savo. Arabian face buff.

That can't feel good.

Double underhook. Saturn driven head first into the canvas.

Like, who's that hurt more?

Right?

Like, I find it hard to believe that like sa. Whoever that is, whoever it was, I already forgot.

Rvd.

RVD got the worst of it.

Yeah. Like when they do a pile driver on a chair. It's like your ass is hitting that chair. That's gonna hurt just as bad in your tailbone, your spine, you know?

Yeah, exactly. You're the one up your back.

Yeah.

Oh, that was crisp, too.

Yeah, I don't. I don't know if he hit him, like, you know, graze the top of his head or not, but that would looked good.

It's like the way he landed in the. The sound on the mat helped it a lot.

Yeah.

Once again, the champions in control of this matchup.

Anyway.

Moonsault into a senton.

Now he's just showing off.

Yeah. Like, hey, up.

Yeah, yeah, we can hear you. Pro Falcon Arrow.

Crap. An arrow.

Yeah. Isn't that what Hawk does? Hawk, whatever his name is now.

From the Neville.

Oh.

Oh, Pac.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He did. He does it. Hayabusa did it too.

That sucked. By RVD that was good. I don't know what the Darvy D did, but he got lucky. The camera. Cut.

Hey, Sabu got the camera.

Yeah.

It seemed.

You barely see that.

Frankenstein.

Hey, good. Frankenstein.

I was gonna say it was a little sloppy, but it. It worked.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right, Rick. It was sloppy. I give it so much credit.

Nobody can be Scott Steiner in 1992, though. Yeah. No. Well, I mean, I could.

It was a move. It was a move, though. It was a move.

It was. It was a move and nobody got hurt on it. So I guess that works.

So that's why it's good.

No injuries is a plus.

Like I said at the top of this match, though, I thought this match was good. I think it's still good.

No, it's not. It's not a bad match at all.

Some random like, can we finish? Can we get a clean finish? The damn match in ECW that's one thing I want.

Clean fish.

Yeah.

Can we defend the titles and have somebody deserve the titles? Finally in shape. He takes a bump out there.

Yeah.

He should be one of the title.

One of the signs that somebody was hanging up says, where is Dirt Bike Kid's belt?

All right, who's that Bike Kid?

The Dirt Bike Kid is a British wrestler who thinks of little too highly of himself. Went to Japan and got legit kicked. Shoot kicked by great Sasuke and then choked out because he double crossed him. So that was an ugly fucking. Yeah.

That was horrible. That was horrible.

Yeah. Yeah.

Trash.

Yeah. He was supposed. Dirt Bike Kid was supposed to be in a tournament for masked wrestlers and he told them he wasn't going to wear a mask. And so they took that as disrespectful and great. Sasuke, who owns Michinoku Pro, who was holding the tournament, just beat the shit out of him, like, legit. Kicked him in as hard as he could, just was pounding him, and then he threw him in a guillotine and just choked him out. It's kind of epic to watch if you know the backstory.

Oh, you. You fucked him up.

But Dirt Bike, it had some sort of like a European junior heavyweight title that he basically created for himself to defend. And the independence.

Right.

Which I think is what that sign is referencing. At least that's what I take it as.

Yeah. Yeah, you're totally right. Probably the main reason why I was bringing up is because Dirt Bike Kid was the big name early on when we were covering ecw. Yep. And he also. He was also known as like, Chuck Truck Boy or something like that.

Yeah, something like that. Before the Shark Attack Kid.

Yeah, I've heard of Shark Boy.

Yeah. Shark Boy is a different wrestler.

Yeah, that's our boy. But yeah, the Shock Attack. And I'm like, Dark Boy.

Yes. Shark Boy. Actually, you used to do a Stone Cold Steve Austin impression.

Was it good?

He would. No, he went out like. I don't remember. It was in tna. But like, he would do like, the mannerisms and. And end with the stunner and everything. Exactly.

Who was it?

Shark Boy.

Chalkboard does that.

Yep.

Out of here. The Dirt Bike Kid.

No, different. Different guy. Shark Boy and Dirt Bike Kid are two different people. Shark Boy, from all I've ever heard, is a. Is a nice guy. Like, he's right. He's a respectable. He's a good Christian athlete.

Perfect. All right. We got some good music going on here.

Yes, improved.

Oh, we're all the way alive. Let's go.

Scranton Dunder Mifflon reference.

You know what Scranton is?

No.

The Electric City.

Did you pass through Scranton?

I did.

Nice.

Funny. Bring that up.

Right.

Because that is off on this. But yeah, I went through a eighth grade vacation. Not vacation, the chip. And we went through Screen, Hasburg, Hershey, Philadelphia. How lame is that?

Gettysburg too, right?

Well, yes, Gettysburg.

Yeah.

We always say Gettysburg, but it's supposed to be pronounced Gettysburg.

Gettysburg.

Gettysburg. Even the announcers and tour guides don't say Gettysburg. Hey, Gettysburg. That's how everybody says it. But actually supposed to be Gettysburg.

Gettysburg.

Yeah. Gettysburg. You know, it's not my first time there. I like to go again. I would like to go again on my own. That's how Much I love that place. It is such a pain in. Yes. To go with kids cuz they don't care. Like even like just like the museum part of it with his artifacts and stuff. They're just roaming through like hey, let me see this. No walk through. And obviously that's how they're going to be so you can't get mad at them.

Right.

I want to see this. I have done it before. Like eight years ago. That's why I wanted to go again. Like oh, maybe I could see more. Nope, nope. Can't see more.

Well, you did see something you didn't see eight years ago. I'm willing to bet the. The classiest pawn shop in the world.

Yes I did. Rick, I sent you that picture. Please tell us.

So I was at work and my, my phone goes off and it's Peru sending me a picture of Carver W. Reed in Philadelphia. And for those of you who may have been with us since the beginning, cover W. Reid. Todd Gordon's store also used to advertise on hardcore tv. But it. And I sent back to prove that it was so cool and it was the classiest looking pawn shop I've ever seen.

Yeah, I was, I was impressed. Like out of all the storefronts in that area. Yeah, it was, it was pretty classy. The thing. This is Todd Gordon. SWAT.

Booking decisions were made in that building.

Yeah. And I had to run through it like a rat.

Yep.

Because I was pouring rain.

Oh, that sucks.

Horrible. Hey, I didn't have to. I didn't have to work in class for three days, but I did that. I do enjoy. Cuz I do. I do like letting these 8th grade kids have a good time. They're always good.

That's awesome. That's why you still do it. If they weren't good, you wouldn't.

Right. You know what? When these kids are out of the element, they always behave for the most point.

Well, they probably respect you too, right?

Yeah. My. My groups were great. I. I hadn't done a trip since my second daughter was born and I did this trip and these girls that were my kids this trip, they were awesome. So Yeah, I felt like I was just like being a dad again on this trip.

That's awesome.

You know what I mean? Yep.

Ladies and gentlemen.

So did you, did you see who Taz is facing off against?

No. What?

We got Tracy Smother.

Oh, Tracy Smothers.

Wow.

The wild ass southern boy himself.

Yeah, but he got his trunks wrapped up weird. I don't know.

Yeah.

Yeah. Pull those up a Little bit.

Yeah. Those need to go a little higher, Tracy.

Taz smacking them up.

Yeah.

Taz is fucking badass.

Yeah. I wonder if we're gonna see any redneck kung fu now.

Here we are here on the extremely subi live cast. It's clear that we can say that JV is Taz on this. It looks like Taz. Now, the reason why I bring that up is because we have this group chat personally, me, JV and our buddies. JV is currently known as Rick Steiner's brother.

You know what's funny? My buddy Paul, he watches wrestling, too, and he's the same thing.

Yeah.

He said you're brown. Breaker.

Yeah, Breaker, your T.

Of suplexes.

So even jb, I'm gonna point this out to you right now. Even if you don't think you can live up to it, learn how to do a suplex and you'll be fine. Suplex, gut wrench, suplex. Boom, you're good.

Out. Anybody you want in your singlet.

Yeah. Yeah. The singlet's key.

Tracy is busting his ass in this match. Wow size. Whoa. Cross body.

Yeah. Redneck kung fu.

I love Fonzie, but, man, he gets annoying.

Yeah, he does. That whistle is gonna be the death of him. Somebody's gonna kill him.

Is that a fact?

No, no, but people will be. People will be saying that for the next four years about him. I believe. I believe somebody at some point says that they're gonna. They're gonna shove the whistle down his throat so far that he'll, you know, he'll be. He'll be blowing it when he farts or something like that.

Well, what a good penfall there. We know. While I, Tracy, some others, is not gonna win this match. Reverse. How many. How many stand in the reverse locks? We can see this match.

Yeah, no, we saw quite a few in the first match, too.

Yeah, I'm gonna cut the hajime right now.

That was a nice T bone Tasplex.

There we go.

I love how Joey says that. Illegal in Judo. It's like. Not really. When I was. When I was doing the research on it, I'm like. It didn't come up as something that's banned. I mean, maybe in certain competitions, but. Yeah, it. It. You're not. Because the way that you're applying it in Judo is you're grabbing their gi and using the pressure of the gi against the sides of their neck to choke them. You're not cutting their windpipe off.

We're building. We're building. Yes.

All right.

So More the.

Gangster flavor. Like King likes horror.

Freaking digging.

I'm just as confused at what Proof said is you're as confused as you are.

What did you say? What was that? Say it.

I said. I said to Rick, I'm just as confused as he is regarding whatever it is you had just said.

Yes.

I agree. Look at Rick Rue with random denim.

Dick dude.

Big dude.

Cousin.

The dude doesn't.

Yeah, cousin. Dick, Dick, dude. Dick. Rude.

Oh, man, he's Rico Rude, his Mexican relative. Remember he had Juan Pena.

Wants a peanut.

Yeah, she wants a peanut.

Want to remember? Remember my name?

My penis.

Look at that ass.

Smacker.

Smacker.

He was laying him in there, too.

Yeah, he was. He was loving that.

Oh, absolutely.

You know, my whole life as I was growing up, I admired that Terry Funk so much. Boy, I looked up to him like, oh, he was the greatest of all time. I remember when my grandfather wrestled him. It was Terry's very first match at Madison Square Garden, and my grandfather, Chuck Ridges had him reel in a rocking. And had Chuck not lost that match, he would have won. But I get here at ECW and all I hear about is Terry Funk this Terry Funk that lifetime achievement award. Well, I am Terry Funk, and I want to talk about my daddy and my brother Junior. I want to be the world champion.

Chris Candida was awesome.

I was the NWA champion in 1977. Freckles Brown fell off a pole.

I don't give a rat's ass about Freckles Brown.

I was the NWA champion two years ago. Where's my bike with. Where's my award? I can be the hardcore legend. I'm a hardcore legend, too. I'll fall right through that table. Sabu can put that table out. He can slam me on it, climb up, do some kind of big slip. I'll go right through that table. Just.

Well, I'll go through it.

Only problem is I have such testosterone running through my body.

I got some kind of a thing.

On my back, and if I want to go through it, it would hurt and get.

Get infected.

But besides that, I would do it. And those chairs just like when Tom and Dreamer hit Raven. I'm in cage like this. You could come and you could walk me right in the head with that chair, and I'd take it like a man. But you see, we get this little puppy and she's on the road and carrying it and back and forth, and I feel I just don't need it right now. But I would do it anytime. But right now, I promise you, I would do it and in fact had ecw now started calling me no gimmicks me or Chris Candido, I would bill myself as the hardcore legend because I am. The only thing is that would be a gimmick and no gimmicks needed. That case would be a gimmick, but I really don't need it. But the fact of the matter is I can be the hardcore legend. You don't think I am you? The fact of the matter is I'm Chris Candido. You don't believe me?

Come in the ring and find out.

Because I am the legend.

All right. That was actually pretty good. I'm impressed.

Oh, it's great. Pretty badass. Chris again did. Oh, man. Now we got Raven.

I'm doing a little quick, quick research. And Popeye. Chuck Richards, Candido's grandfather had passed away two years earlier, but he was. He had retired from wrestling in 1975.

Between Shane Douglas and Pitbull 1. Gary Wolf has been signed for Hostile City Showdown 1997. But tonight in this tag team matchup.

All right, so we got Desperado going on here like Helene's boyfriend.

He comes.

There he is.

Hope you in the front.

The title shot. He wants so desperately.

Funk. You university guys hear me? Yeah.

Yeah.

All right. What the.

Jim is ready for the bulldozer.

The Bulldozer. Harry's like you, bulldozer. We're gonna stand still here. Big match at Cyber Slam 97.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Innovator of balance. The heavyweight for hire, the Undertaker.

Yeah.

The over giver.

James.

Brian Lee.

Yeah. Such a. And Smokey Mountain too.

Should have wrestled the gloves on.

Oh, there's our boy.

There he is.

We hear him too.

Rich bastard. Rich parent.

Where's Bits spoiled? Mom. Mom, where'd you put my comics?

The.

You put them. The. You put them in the. Mom, come on. You put them in the pantry.

Sounds like the villain from kindergarten cop, Bill McGill.

Titties. Thank you. Thank you.

It looked like it was a little cold in that arena.

Eat it up. Hold down rather. All right. Look at this guy.

Sick.

Michael Eddie, how old is he right now? 57, Ben.

At this point.

Right there. Yeah.

I'm gonna say he's not even 50.

I'll say 57.

Terry Funk was 53 or 52 at this point.

Ah, all right, 52. Damn.

Yep.

It's like.

Look.

I mean, compared to today, but look at like the rocket. 50.

Yeah.

Oh, you can't compare Terry, folks.

Yeah, he lived. He lived a hard life.

Vince looks better than that at 50.

Pulled the hamstring of that same man still slide it into a ring.

Nature's quads.

He's in shape for like, the 1990s, 50s. I mean, if I'm in his shape at 50, I'll be happy.

Walk.

Hell, yeah.

Yeah.

That's all I'll be able to play golf.

He's wrestling matches. Guys. Cardio is insane. It's just, you know, aesthetically. Is that the best way to put it?

Yeah.

Yeah. Jimmy, how about if I give you, like, a side suplex next time I see you?

That I'm dead.

Would that be good?

You'll be fucked up.

Yeah. Both of us. Just to see how up we are. Can I do that?

I just say he's in shape, but he doesn't look like he's in shape.

I know.

In today's standards, he was 12.

Oh, Raven's cutting a promo. Let's listen. Hey. I'm gonna say let's lay out. Maybe.

Tommy.

I knew he was gonna say Divine providence. Oh, I. I do like that.

I like this wrinkle.

Yeah, that's cool. This we have on Raven a lot in the past couple episodes. I do like Raven. I. I think Rick would agree.

Like, I just like on everyone.

The JB definitely would agree. But, yeah, Rick, we weren't pretty hard on the character we have, and I think it's because our. Our own personal views of what we thought when we were kids.

Yeah.

Oh. Overall, it's a great character.

It is. It's. It's just a case of as. As we've put in before, when you're 11, 12, 13, whatever. He's. He's cool. He's edgy like that. As an adult, you're like, he whines a lot.

Yeah, yeah.

But the character itself is. Other than the. The fact that he whines a lot, the character's pretty cool.

Yeah. Yeah.

Wait, he's doing exactly what he's supposed to do. To be a whiny bitch or is.

This a glitch in the show?

What do you mean?

I think this is a commercial that.

Why am I on the next episode already?

The next episode ended. The. The match didn't finish.

It is the next episode.

Yeah.

Oh, should we take a break here?

Yeah, yeah. We gotta take a break, right?

Yeah, yeah. So I just gotta piss quick. I'll be back.

Okay.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right. So, yeah. That was a great episode. That was fun. That was episode ECW. Hardcore TV 201 from February 25, 1997. And we're covering some Cyber Slam 1997 and ended off with some good Raven versus Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk, along with his Numb Nuts partner, Prime Time Brian Lee. And we're gonna go to a break song, a break song that we had brought up time and it's gravity Kills guilty, whatever the it is. So take a listen to that and we'll be right back. Behind closed doors your words ring hollow what you said they'd be what behavior? Who are you? But I like it now I'm done with nothing new Sometimes greater, sometimes we're. And I'm guilty, and I'm guilty and I'm guilty and I'm guilty and you're guilty too.

Ain't you a nothing, nothing true.

You're killing me I'm killing you?

1, 2, 3. I found you out so easily 1, 2, 3. I Found in you what I found in me the time is long, the.

Time is right Be careful of who you kill tonight.

And I'm not melting and I'm melting and I'm melting and I'm melting.

One.

Don't you see I'm killing you?

You're killing me.

Inside out I can't describe it what you do to me Inside out I can buy Looking right through me Now I've reached the living Good morning. Fingers to defend And I'm guilty and I'm guilty and I'm guilty and I'm.

Guilty and you're guilty too.

All right, we're back now for the next episode of the extreme ECW live cast. And we are now covering E.C. hardcroft TV episode 202 from March 4, 1997, which is on Peacock season 5, episode 10. And we're gonna watch along with this, and we're gonna continue our coverage of Cyber Slam 1997 from February 22, 1997. I'm Mike PR along with JV and Rick B. As always. And, guys, how did you enjoy that first part of Cyber Slam?

I liked it.

Yeah, it was a good episode.

I did mention during break when you were away that, like, it was weird not to hear from Heyman at all.

Yeah, that is weird.

But it was a good episode.

It was nice to. To see Tracy Smothers. That was kind of cool. And.

Yeah, that's right.

The Chris Candido promo was real good.

Yeah, that was probably the highlight for me.

There was. There was some good moments in the. The tag match, too.

Yeah, I agree. The. The tag match was great. Chris Candido's promo was excellent. So, yeah. Yeah, I think we had a great, great opening segment there. All right, so you Guys ready to continue on with the second part?

Yes.

All right, so just a little heads up. We're gonna get more matches from cyber slam 97. We're gonna get the continuation of that tag team match. Raven and Brian Lee versus Tommy, Jeremy and Terry Funk. Then we're gonna get some Little Guido versus Chris Chetty with their little feud with Taz going on there. And then we got some Axel Rotten and Spike dudley dudley boys versus the gangsters. Jam packed action here on march 4, 1997 tv. As it is a continuation of cyber slam 1997. All right, so I'll give us countdown as always. Three down to one. Tell what I'm doing here, right?

Yep, yep.

Let me just make sure it's right. Just make sure I got right. All right, I'll count down. Three down to one, then say play. When I say play, we all click play. 3, 2, 1, play. There we go.

I've known you since I was 12 years old. Ever in your entire life.

Beat me.

I just realized Brian Lee has to like put the the little exclamation on it by pointing at him after Raven said that.

Providence will smile upon you tonight, Tommy. For tonight I will lay down and allow you to pin me. I know tricks, no traps. I'm going to lay on my back. And you can pin me if you want to cost your mentor his world title shot at the pay per view. Come on, Tommy, pin me. I'm laying here. Come on. Bounty. You win. Waited your whole life. You've waited two years. You don't have the cost your mentor.

Just get the second time.

Pretty good power slam too.

He couldn't quite his mentor the title shot. What a dilemma for Tommy Dreamer.

Jeez.

Damn.

Damn. Comes all the women. Need more of that.

Yeah. Hopefully there's a little more Beulah in this episode.

Yes, please.

Rose like that.

Or Francine. Yeah, either are.

Should I take this Peaches at this point too?

Yeah.

Are you guys seeing the opening or now what?

We already saw it.

Here tonight. He would get the title shot.

245, 246.

Yep. I'm dead on.

So in the middle of the match now.

Yeah.

Ryan Lee coming in.

Yep.

Well, Brian Lee's in right now. Yeah.

Just missed the clothesline.

Yep.

And Tommy Dreamer's gonna do just that. Power Slam.

Power Slam Bulldozer Brian Lee.

Now Raven wants the tag. A world champion taunting his longtime nemesis.

If he doesn't take a shot in the groin. Is it really a Tommy Dreamer match?

I just gotta take a shot.

Needs to Happen.

Ddt.

Series of pinfall attempts. Raven, roll to the outside.

I hate to call anything, so if I do, I'm gonna off.

What do you mean, call anything?

Well, I'm trying to call, like, oh, it's 1, 2, 3. But I don't know if you guys already said it. I feel like I'm behind.

What are you at?

How the Were you at the beginning?

What's that?

How were you at the beginning?

I called it that. 4:57, yo.

You're like 20. You're like 15 seconds behind us.

How does this happen?

I don't know. A bunch of times.

You call play, don't hit play.

We're like, skip ahead.

We're like three minutes in. You guys at the opening, like, nah, bro, we're at the match.

I'm the one guiding this. Oh, all right.

Christopher Columbus.

Shout whatever. Columbus.

Tell you what does sell punches very well. I don't know if it's because of the long hair. Oh, that was nice. Hit him with a plastic bottle right in his neck. Look at Brian Lee. That guy's got that es bandana.

I was just gonna say that. A big fat white dude with the white bandana on, like, he's Tupac.

I've never seen that been hit. That bandana style. I look more awkward than it does there.

Yes.

Look at, like, a npc.

Somebody's grandpa right there.

Yeah, he's still wearing it today.

Fly, eagles.

Fly.

Whatever the they say.

Yeah.

They say to each other, fly.

I say, yeah.

Yeah, like, all right, grandpa.

It's like, oh, yeah. Did you forget to take your meds this morning?

Yeah, yeah. This is good. Starting off with a bang here.

Wow. This match is a continuation of the previous show.

Yeah, but it's the actual match now.

Now. Yeah.

Dudley. Dudley Cosplay.

Yeah.

Yeah. That's legit. Dudley.

Guys dress like the Hamburglar in the front stripe shirt.

Yes.

If. If I was allowed to speak the way I would in 1999, I would have another name for him.

Who?

JV knows what I'm talking about.

No, I don't. Sorry. Or Dudley the hamburger. Or the Dudley.

The Dudley.

Man.

I'm not gonna go. I want to. So tempted. All right.

How are you?

Nothing. Nothing. Nothing makes you hate a guy more than him beating up an old man and then calling him an old man.

Right.

Leave an old man alone. Yeah. Well, the great thing about this storyline that we. I don't think we really talked about much is Raven is now taking Terry out as his dad.

Yes.

Yeah.

Dad.

Dad. Now the character Sucks. We all know that. And that's what JV stand our ground on is that he sucks. But it makes sense now a year later it's gonna make sense because WCW is gonna jump right on that whole gimmick of that. Raven is just a little spoiled.

Yeah.

And Ravenous paying for all the garbage he spewed just moments ago.

Would have been cool. Tell me if I'm out of line here. I'll be dreaming. Turning on. Very false.

When? When?

I don't know beyond 99, so I don't know if it happen.

No. Okay, so what I'm saying is like, like here, like this time period or you talking like this time period? Okay. Honestly, I think if, if it had been a thing where Dreamer, they do this kind of a, you know, dreamers giving up his, his title shot to, to funk and all that, only for Tommy to turn on Terry and cost him the title at the pay per view. That would be awesome.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Yeah, that would be awesome because the crowd would, yeah, the crowd would love to back Terry, especially if Tommy starts bad mouthing him in the same kind of way Raven is and all that. All right, that almost, I was gonna say that also brings it.

Yeah.

And that brings up Ben Martin's thing on Twitter that he had or X that he had said about what if instead of Raven being the champion going into Barely Legal, it was Franchise?

And I loved his whole rug that he had.

Yeah. The only thing to me is it's kind of like how do you, how do you transition the title? Because if you have Sandman beat Raven at Holiday Hell in the barbed wire match, why, why would Douglas be getting a shot at, at the, the world title? Like he's still got the TV title. So like at what point do you drop the tv, right? At what point do you drop the TV title off of Douglas? Do you have him win the world title and then you got to figure out a way to like have a 20 tournament or whatever for the TV title or do you have him lose the TV title first? But I, I did like that, that plan. I think that would have worked great too to have Douglas be the, the champ and you could still do the Rick Rude storyline and all that.

Yeah, true. No, I, I like the whole premise of it. Yeah, get Franchise as a champ, but yeah, I don't know how you get there. Like you said, I really like Shane Douglas franchise as TV champion anyway.

Right.

I want to, want to change much of that in history anyway.

You need to stand up.

Hey, we got a bloody match going on here.

That we do.

We got Raven yelling, get the up. Basically good.

Terry's ears bleeding.

Harry's got his favorite pants on. He's got the stripes.

There's damage control. We haven't seen them recently.

Where's the chick?

She's there, right there.

Oh, there she is. Oh, I see hers. Thanks, Rick.

Welcome.

Good call.

You're welcome. Oh, sort of D haircut for a second. Sorry.

Pride month, bro. These guys are exhausted.

Yeah, they just stalling for time at this point.

Look at Terry.

He doesn't know where he is.

The fact he's even still standing is a win.

There's the pebble.

All right, so seemingly out of the match at this point. Getting a semi ovation.

Stay down. Stay down.

Get the down. Man.

Them all up. Yes. Get up. What a monster.

Look at Molino getting. Getting Beulah all over him.

Yeah, like, let me touch you. She's like, yeah. Deep down, she's like, what the along.

Yeah, but she, like, grabbed onto him, so it's like that part there's.

I'm just a hater. Jealous, jealous. I want Pula to touch me.

So do I.

Hey, it's that WWE guy right there in the red. Is this off the corner there? I don't know if you saw him, but he's always at the WWE shows, usually there with Vladimir.

Oh, yeah, I know who you're talking about.

Yeah, he actually has his own show on WWE Network. Vladimir. But the other guy does. Yeah, yeah. It's like a 20 minute show. Like him in his apartment.

Apparently Stevie Richards is as disgusted as we are. Are what we just saw.

Oh, Here we go.

JV, you got your wish. You got to see Ms. Peaches.

Hey, we got some. Stevie Rich is here versus Raven.

Raven is begging for the Stevie kick. The Stevie kick that put down Steve, Dr. And hell yeah. Prime time slam.

Prime time slam.

Boom. Prime time. He sucks.

Yeah, he does.

Chains.

Chains under faker.

Yeah, right.

Like that's the coolest thing you did. It didn't happen here in ecw. All right, fine. Here we go. Here's some drama, boy. Fulton's in the ring with her blue dress.

Lovely blue dress.

She gets even. Flowed, even flow. Oh, Tyler. Well, Tommy came down with Tyler for a second.

Tyler switched allegiances to the bwl.

Yeah. Hey.

Oh, oh, there you go.

I would be BWL for life, too.

Because Children of the Corn. It's Malachi.

Oh, look at this.

He still got that same resting face, though. Like, he still looks like Children of.

The corn he still learned from Raven. Yep. Don't smile.

Sam's got to.

Or is that said the same thing, too? All right, go buy me a lottery ticket. Sorry. Look at that explosion, though. Sandman just busted a can on his head popping off. Could come in or not. Sandman.

Oh, oh.

On the top of the head. Sandman always does. All right, so, Sam, it. Going after the title here. We got a champion getting ddt. Whoever said this was a title match, though, like.

Nobody, Nobody.

Nope.

There's no Matt.

There's no line who's not even in the. In the match just pins Raven and wins the match.

Champion, right?

He's not even in the match. What the is this?

Are you kidding me? Oh, my kid showed up in a BWO shirt. So I win the title.

After I bust myself open with a beer can.

Rick. Does he actually win the title in this match, though?

No, no, I think it was. I think the stipulations were, if Raven gets pinned, then that person gets the title shot at Barely Legal, which is why he was like, come on, Tommy, pin me. And. But you'll have to give up your. You know, you'll have to. On your. Your mentors, you know, chances or whatever. Like.

Right.

That kid's like, dad, why'd you take my shirt off? Dad?

Mom, is dad gonna be okay?

Cause I'm often, never, never left.

Okay, that reminds me of, like, me and my son. My head is not bleeding and everything, but the way. The way he was clinging to Sandman.

That's cute.

Yeah.

As the sun should with one eye open Ripple gripping your pillow tight. Oh, look at this. This moment. Stevie Richards getting some love. Tommy Dreamer. Hey. We knew it. Rich is the man.

He's a.

All right. I think I have this song already set up for the break song.

The break song or the closing song?

Outro Break, I think.

Okay.

Is it the will kill? Is it a different song? I had gravity kill is guilty.

Yeah.

What's this?

I don't know. What is this one?

Who's that looking in the window? Ah, somewhere.

I have no idea. I feel like I do, but I can't figure it out. Like, I don't know.

Right.

Now it's bothering me. Jerry. Wait, not Jerry?

Yeah, I thought it was Jerry earlier.

Time. Time period's about the same. 96, right?

Raven is the champion. That's supposed to be a T shirt. Sucks.

Take. Take Taz's face out of it and it's. It's better like that. That circle was fine. It's just Taz that looks like a coin.

Yeah, it's Extreme Warfare Volume 1. Relive the Night Sabu suffered a broken neck.

It's old school.

Yeah.

Hey, if they're still showing this, this must have been been a great seller, right?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this was one of their big sellers.

Both.

Both volumes of Extreme Warfare.

Oh, what's this song?

Hey, man, nice shot.

Oh, yeah, we've done that.

Yeah.

Hey, man, you got a small cut. Oh.

What?

I'm trying to shake things up. Oh, Francine and Buah. I want to dance. Top of that. Whoa. What the.

Is this. What? The Sabu package?

Yeah, I haven't heard this package. It's Rob. Rob Zombie, right?

Is it Rob Zombie or is it White Zombie? It's more. More human than human.

Oh, it's the song, is it? No, it's not more human, but definitely.

You don't think so? I think. I think it is.

Yeah.

It's definitely White Zombie or Rob Zombie, though.

No, I know it's one of them. It's White Zombie, but it's not more human than human. Okay, we don't have to argue about was a good song.

What the way. It's a quick ass song.

We may have seen the the end.

Of Terry Funk's Come the End.

We'll update you on all these situations and more later in this hour. Right now, Wildfire, Tommy Rich, and Little.

Gu are in the ring for our next little guido.

Got to say something about getting fired up.

Oh, it's time we. Tommy Rich coming up.

Yeah.

Oh.

This is the BTT's boy.

Yes, it's Mike Mills, his enemy.

Yeah, like legit beef.

I don't know. I don't know if it's KFAB or not, but I'm buying into it. Yeah, let's listen to this guy because he got some heat on a mic. All right, let's listen this bad boy.

Anyway, listen, when I found out.

You.

Might be wondering why I'm out here with Guido tonight, not only he got me a bunch of women lined up, but my mama did.

Guido.

Many of you people don't want to f the tree. Probably don't even have one. Well, I found out years ago, my great granddaddy, he lived right here in Philadelphia and he worked for the mafia and they was going to get rid of him, so he left. And that's how I come from Nashville. But what I said, Y' all see this FBI. That don't mean we don't come out there and check none of y' all that Means we're full blooded. I tell you. Hank Williams, Guido and myself and the family called me. The family called me and said we don't need some help. I've been down the road. I'll be that funny. I whoop every one of y' all. What am I gonna come on, make my day.

Wait minute a say.

We know what's coming.

He. He said that he is a full blooded Italian.

Little versus the rookies. And we come back.

If I heard him correctly, he said that his great grandfather or something was originally from Philadelphia and was in the mob and then left to go down to Nashville so they didn't kill him. And that's, that's why Tommy Rich is a redneck. But he's. He's. He's an Italian. So.

Yes, you might see him at times. Yes, he has a way with the mic. Somebody said something about it's easy, it's easy to go with that. Somebody say something about kimono. Hey, this is Rick staying right here dancing the TopW arena.

Rookie Chris Chetty back into the ropes.

Come on. Oh, you got Chris Chetty here. Back, backside O the backside. Looks like Doc Hendricks a little bit.

Yeah.

Is out there. Well.

You and I went to the exact same impression.

Complaining about a slow count.

Oh, oh. Rib breaker. Yeah, you'll see that a lot. I like seeing like. Because like you don't. I can't. I don't think I've seen a rib breaker in WWF.

Years.

Yeah, yeah. One's the last time. Jeez. Right?

And especially a gut wrench one, you know.

Yeah.

Like you see the one, they pick them up for like a slam and do that, you know, like a back breaker, but on the side. But, but even then, like, you know, you don't see them that often anymore.

Even if it happens, they don't sell it.

No, no. It's a transition move, right? Like a super kick.

Yeah. Take a super cube, get a seconds later reverse something break in the ice.

Put a stop to that vertical suplex. Nicely executed.

I think it was nice. I think it was nicely executed too. The out of my ring, Tommy Rich. Wow. What a sc. You got a Hard Rock T shirt on. There is vest school bag.

Hey, between the ponytail. The Hard Rock T shirt.

Yeah. He's like if John Daly was a wrestler.

The beer gut.

Yeah.

You could feel that one. Welcome to the ECW Arena, Mr. Teddy. It's on the corner. Step ahead. Power slam.

Power. Fine.

The rookie.

Chris Chetty.

Yeah. Did I missed it earlier that they called him a rookie?

They're Both rookies here.

Yeah, Chetty, this is like his first ECW appearance on like a show that wasn't a dark match or whatever.

No, we saw him like in the last episode though.

Crushetti.

Yeah, pretty sure we did. Not the Raw episode.

I've never seen this guy before.

Yeah, he had a different name. He wasn't.

Oh, is he GQ gorgeous or something?

Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Yeah, GQ gorgeous.

But yeah, he graduated that house of hardcore school, you know that ECW school. So.

Nunzio going to the top.

Tommy Rich don't shut the up.

Let me get paid. Even if I run my mouth enough, I get paid.

Somebody say something about eight ball.

Money, somebody. Payday.

Yeah, payday.

I'm not talking about caramel and peanuts.

Oh my God.

Like I can't see Paul Heyman liking him at all. Tommy Rich orange.

Well, why should Paul Heyman like him?

Yeah, the boss ain't.

He sucks.

Paul Heyman managed him in Memphis back in the day.

Oh, really?

Yep.

Yeah, a long time ago.

I guess he does like him.

All right, I think something's going on here. Let's see.

He's big bastard though.

Yeah.

Okay. A formation of the.

He looks a bar.

FBI. Let's see. All right, take a listen to this.

You look at everybody out here. They ain't even one that's got a brain in the ground. We're paras. Full blooded Italian baby.

Ions.

Shut up. Maybe Tommy Rick should communicate with Guido in Italian, right? Don't listen to these idiots.

You and me are p. Don't listen to these idiots.

But we going to let these idiots get us mad at each other.

Him.

Yeah, I like Tommy Rich.

Pretty badass at times.

Yeah, he's very blunt.

Show me the money. Show me. Show me the money.

Crack rock.

Stevie Richards. Ask Terry.

I'm fucking Jerry Maguire. Bullshit.

Looks like it looks like if Jared Goff grew his hair out.

Show me the money.

The first bounty hunter in Extreme Championship Wrestling.

All right, go back to Smokey Mountain you call it.

He's the first bounty hunter.

He's the first bounty hunter.

They're more coming.

Yeah, that's Bosky from Empire Strikes Back. Is that his name he was screaming?

I quit.

I've. I've always said bosque, but I. I don't know what the I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, the lizard guy with the yellow.

Yeah, you said bosque lock.

Yeah, that's how I've always said it.

But yeah, that's probably right.

Back to ecw. You're documenting with Joey's Using his serious voice.

Boba Fett there.

I never wager the fat man.

Has concussion in Star Wars.

All right, who's your favorite? Non. Boba Fett, Bono.

Terry Funk wasn't man enough.

That's a good question.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Let's listen to this. This is a good promo.

Tommy Dreamer had to watch his mentor and his hero. See, Terry Funk, the hardcore legend, not have the guts or the intestinal fortitude to finish the match. He could not finish the match. Something about his ear. He was. He was bleeding from his ear. Stand up here, you stand up and talk to me now. I want to talk to you right now, damn you. I'm telling you to stand up. Are you gonna stand up? Are you not? Stand up, damn you, Terry Funk. If I stand up, I will leave you in no condition to see me wrestle someone else April 13th. And I want you alive and well and miserable as you see somebody else wrestle me for the ECW World Heavyweight title on the pay per view and watch your comeback go straight down the tubes. I'm tired of your bull. I'm tired of this idiot, this imbecile that you got running around here, Brian Lee, saying, show me the money. Show me the money. Show me the money. Let me tell you one thing. I've got a concussion, but it isn't Harry Funk, motherfucker. First damn rodeo and it's not gonna be my last. Now you stand up. Do you understand me? Do you understand me, Terry Funk? I will not get up because you don't have the guts to get up. And if you don't have the guts to get up while I'm coming down and what a stupid damn thing this is, I'm going to come down there and I'm going to look you right in the face and I'm going to tell you that you've said a lot of stuff about me. You said a lot of stuff about me being a blowhard and me talking about this and having these long stories. Let me tell you something. I'm not storying you, you jerk. You fool. And don't sit there and look at me like that. I might slap you right in the face. Because I'll tell you one thing is my father. I love my father. I can't help it if your father was some kind of an idiot. If you take a horse. I've said it before. You take a damned horse, that's an idiot, and you breed it to another idiot. Do you know what you have. I'm 99% sure you're going to have another damned idiot. And that's what you are, is you're an idiot like your old man. And I can't help you that. But you watch what you say about me, Raven. You watch it and you watch what you try with about me. I'm telling you. Oh, you don't have anything to say. You've always got something to say about me. Well, go ahead, say something about me, why don't you? You say something about me now. I'm right here and I'm confronting you, Raven. Do you have the guts to say anything? Why don't you say something to this old dilapidated old man? Why don't you say something to me now? Go ahead. You don't have the cards to say anything to me right now. And if I get you in that ring, you jerk, if I have the opportunity to get you on that ring, I am going to tell you I am not going to be a long winded old man. I am going to give you the shortest story that you've ever heard from anyone right now. If I get you in the ring, you want to call me Wendy? If I get you in the ring, Raven, on the 13th of April, I'm gonna beat the out of. Wow. Gotta keep them separated.

Yep, crazy separate. All right. So are we starting to change our opinion on Raven?

Oh, yeah, I am.

Yeah, I better.

He's growing. How much longer is he around as this character?

Only a year, I think.

Really think you know who the man behind the man is? Well, I got news for you. You don't know who I am and you don't know how to do the rule of.

So anyways, previously we're talking about some bounty hunters.

Yeah.

Oh, and you're right with boss. Right, Boss? I said boss. G. Who's up there? One of my other favorites is IG88.

Oh, IG88.

Yeah, from Mandalorian. He's voiced by Tiki Waiti whatever his guy's name is.

He was one of the original figures.

However, right now we leave you with highlights.

Oh, you say IG88. Let me double check that.

Yeah.

I know, I know who you mean. The robot.

Yeah, it's his IG something though, isn't.

He what his plans are now that Pierce is come back?

My volume's all up. I can't hear.

Yeah, oh yeah, I'm thinking of IG11. I have to double check.

I'm sure IG80. It's probably similar.

Looks just like them.

Kind of all right. What up on IG88.

That's not who I think I was thinking IG11.

It's like a Portuguese insult. You IG88. You 88 David. You know what I'm talking about.

I think he's the same robot, though. I don't know. I can't really look at this right now.

All right, you guys have Axel Rotten giving a big slam. Inverted power slam to like.

We. We just saw that. Now we're seeing something else.

The.

What's your time stamp break?

Far away.

I hear him fine.

All right.

47. 47.

Oh one.

Yeah. We're on. Cruise off.

Yeah.

Oh, Dudley Death.

Oh, okay. There it is.

The triple.

I'm at 47, 14, 47, 16.

You're still a few seconds behind.

Yeah, you're like 10 seconds.

All right. Here comes gangsters though, right?

Yeah.

Six Ways of Murder 2's one. How iconic is that to just throw a trash barrel of weapons in it is. And not even follow up on it? Just. I'll get to that later.

Right. I'm throwing these in here for safekeeping.

I'll get to these weapons in a bit.

Back with a K.

Mur. What?

There's one for Axel.

Too bad New Jack wasn't. Is he alive? He's still alive, right, New Jack? No, he died, right?

Yeah, New Jack died a few years back. Mustafa is still alive.

That doesn't do us any good. But too bad they weren't both alive because then maybe, just maybe they can be in the hall of fame and be intro by, you know, their intro song.

Yeah.

Everyone has been busted open.

Never happened. It'll never happen. Now journey with me, Ice Cube. Here goes.

Thank you.

Yeah, we got one.

Yeah.

Oh, Holy moly.

That's an iconic. Wow. New Jack running and diving off.

The guy's out of his mind.

Yeah, he is. Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

I don't believe I just saw that.

You only remember it the next day.

No, I did. What?

I didn't do that.

And if things are going to get more and more extreme.

Yeah, I remember this couch.

13.

I should run my phone on his couch.

Classic.

Well, everyone has made their way back to the vicinity of the ring.

But get these gangsters wanks is at this point, I do want to point out, I do miss doing super cut specials for some of these heroes, like I would like, who have watched Cyber Slam all together. We got pay per views coming up.

Yes. Although at least for now, they only have the three paper views, so they'll do super card specials.

All right, so what do we got? We got Barely Legal, Heat Wave, and November to Remember.

No, it's barely Eagle Hardcore Heaven. For some reason. The. The. I believe they do a Heat Wave. They just. It's not a pay per view. It's just a.

Right. Yeah, right. They still do the shows, so.

Yeah.

All right, so if we do those three.

Yeah. Up until they close. They still do big shows too, in addition to pay per views.

Right, I know that. Well, for our sake, I was wondering, should we do any more specials or just commit 2 pay per views? Because I do miss watching the specials like. Like this. I would have liked to just watch this whole show, Cyber Slam.

I mean, I. I think at least for this year, because there's only three papers, we definitely do a super card special.

All right, pick one. What do you got? What do you think, Rick? What do you think?

I'm looking right now to see.

Okay, I don't want to put you in a spot, but like.

No, you're fine.

But it'll be cool because then I have to change the whole schedule, which doesn't matter.

I won't let him.

Wow, Axel. Oh, Bubba Cutter. That's like the original out of nowhere, Randy Orton. And the show ends. All right, so what a match there. What a show. Cyber Slam 97. And there's more to it, but damn, that was fun.

Yeah, it was. You there.

Yeah, yeah. Rick, did you come up with anything?

I'll just honestly.

And don't worry about it.

Now wrestle Palooza 97, I think is what we should do.

All right, what month is that?

That's. That is June of 97.

Okay.

June 6th.

All right, so maybe we set up for a super card special episode for Russell Palooza 97 coming up.

But is two. Two big things happen in the. On that show.

But even still, we have barely illegal before that.

Yes.

We're just. We're just still months away.

We're not. I was gonna say we're not gonna get to Russell Palooza till, like, Thanksgiving time. So.

We'Ll see. We'll see how that goes.

Yeah. But yeah, Russell Palooza 97, I think. I think would be a good supercard to do.

All right. All right. So, yeah, that was fun. Two great episodes. Two fun episodes from Cyber Slam 97. And we're gonna wrap things up here. So let's get right to that. All right, we're back now for the extreme Easter be live cast wrap up. And we'll be back with the extreme live cast wrap up.
