This is D, C W. Just being.

In this miserable piece of.

Oh, my God.

We're not a wrestling organization anymore.

We're the biggest puppet show. I don't need a weapon.

My hands are my weapon. Weapons.

Quote to Raven Evermore.

I'm pregnant.

The era of the ecw.

I have something to say to you.

Welcome to the extreme ECW livecast. This week we are covering ECW hardcore TV episodes 191 in 192 from December 17th and 24th of 1996. I'm Mike Prue, along with JV and Rick Beebe. We are back. How you guys doing?

I'm doing great, bro. Feels good to be back, you guys, recording episode 86, and we haven't gone into episode 85 yet. We don't have episode 85 released yet.

Well, at the time that this is released, they'll have heard it. Yeah, they will have heard the show. Well, you guys covered it. I'm just like, in the background, like. Like a Muppet or something.

Yeah. I never have to do an intro again.

Oh. So, Mike, who's back in the house? I was. I was back for the second half. The first half, man.

Yeah. The set. The second half, you. You rebind, you rebounded. It was good.

Yeah, yeah. I like to try to move on. Yeah, jb. JB sent me a hot, hot message too. If. Yeah, it's like. Yeah, I know.

Yeah. I was like, stop getting. You have to stop getting that rocked before, like, progress through the show and be rocking.

Right? Get, get, like, get like that in the last 20 minutes. That makes for fun audio.

Yeah. I feel lucky. I'm like, ah. Been glazed longer than. Since we started. You're coming in here glazed out.

And I deserve it.

Yeah, Haze me, haze me. I deserve it.

Yeah. No, no. Well, I don't know if you remember jv, but he went to, like, say, go to the bathroom or whatever. He was like, I'll be right back. And I remember saying to you, I'm like, what are the odds he's not going to come back? And then. And you were like, man, man, I'm high right now. And I go, me too. So it's even worse.

So we're all a bunch of chumps here.

That's in the past.

All right, that's.

Yeah, no, we got some good.

We got some good coming up here on this latest episode covering 191, 192, and no, I'm looking at this lineup. Look at this lineup. We got Shane Douglas and Francine versus Tommy Dream. And Beulah Rav Van Dam versus Taz. We got the King of the Hill, Battle royal, loaded matches, matchups here. Jv, was that you chuckling when I said, look at this lineup?

Yeah, he's like a strip club.

Well, you've been watching Sopranos, so that's. That's a line from season two of Sopranos with Richie April. He walks into. Yes. The guy's played. Was it in the strip club?

Oh, it's when they're all playing poker.

Poker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at this lineup.

Yeah. One of my favorite characters is that degenerate gambler, knockoff dick, sporting goods owner.

Oh, it's Terminator guy, right?

Yeah. Robert patrick.

Yeah, yeah.

T1000. Got a gambling problem.

Great. It's like, ah, I'll pay you back, man. I'll pay back.

Tony thinks he's boys with him.

Right? Because, like, nah, you're a. Yeah. Got into. Oh, man, that would be a podcast right there. Sopranos. But anyway, let's get back to this. Please give us a follow on Twitter X. Whatever the. And that's what everybody says now at this point. Twit. Twitter X. Whatever the. What should we say, jb, you're the voice of reason. Do we say X? Twitter?

I think it's just called X. Now people know what is X.

It is, right?

I still call them tweets, though. But the site's X. Yeah, but I guess you're supposed to be calling them points. Posts.

Really?

Posts. Yeah.

Oh, post posts. I like points. Point. Sounds cool. Maybe I'm making points out there, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah. When you put it that way.

Right? Hey, I gotta make my point. Boom.

Cool.

David coined the new term, and I. I made him realize it was okay. But anyway, follow us on Twitter X. Make your point over there. If you don't like us, you. But you can follow us at Extreme Cast. At Extreme Cast. Follow me. My PRU MPRU 83 fall JV @ John Van Damage. And you're going by parody now, though, right? Like parody at Don Van Damon. That what it is? It threw me off with that.

No, I.

So I was always just giving.

And I realized that because Brian Kudo told me. I didn't realize it said parody there.

You didn't realize that?

No, dude, it was up there for a couple of months.

Yeah, I thought it was in my profile, like, you know, when you go to, like, the bio.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, you. You were trying to say it was a parody account type thing. Yeah.

And I messed up. And it was my name for the whole time.

Yeah. I thought it was clever though for you to have parody. No. Well, either way you can follow him at John Van Damage and follow Rick BB at LEO Hawaii 85. Also check us out JV and I parody at Bottom Line Wrestling cast on Twitter X. Whatever the. And we are now getting into the second run of Stunning Steve Austin. We just wrapped up the Hollywood Blondes after what would take off three months. Jv. Three months from.

Nah.

In November. Yeah, about two months. Two months, not three months.

Yeah, well, we record in January. I think we just put it out like a week ago. But yeah, so we're back and you know, we're planning on doing like monthly episodes and we'll continue on with Stunning Steve and mixing some, some of the uh, the special episodes, the uh, variety packs or. I don't even know if there'll be variety packs. It might just be special episodes.

A very special episode of. Yeah. Bottom Line Wrestling cast.

Right. And one that I'm looking forward to doing is David. We gotta watch the south park episode. Finally.

Way overdue.

Yes, that'll be coming up soon.

Too long.

That's a wrestler. And then also check out Rick Biby with the hybrid wrestling cast. And Rick, is there an update or anything you want to say? What do you want?

Well, probably by the time that they. That they hear this, the fourth episode should be out, but I don't know, it's. It. I don't want to say it was a slot. It's a.

Sound like a sad SAP here.

I mean. Well, the thing is is I decided to do the research for these stuff after and now I'm so excited about that that I'm like dreading going through yes we are hybrid wrestlers 4. Just so that I can get the other stuff.

Do whatever the you want.

You already have four episodes. That's not bad at all.

Yeah, yeah, you.

You could always do your own QCC and go bring it up to speed the way you want.

That's true. Yeah. I mean that's basically what. What the. Not the episode four of the yes We Are Hybrid Wrestlers four would be. But the one that I'm starting is going to be kind of more like a QCC where it's going to be me talking a lot of it and then maybe one or two watch alongs, but mostly just like a QCC was where it's me telling you the facts.

Yeah, that'll be great.

Yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna go back to. What do you call it, 1930 Korea. I think to start Talking about Ricky Dozen. And we're actually going to. Yep. We get to tie in the Gracies as well at one point in this story. So I'm looking forward to that because Rick, Ricky Dozen has a. A fight with a guy who famously fought Helio Gracie. So that. That's gonna be a. That's gonna be something I'm looking forward to. Not. Not because of that, but because it's, you know, it's leading us to where. Where I started. You know, it's leading us to bank race. But it's gonna be a long trip, so buckle in, kids.

Hey. Well, that's getting me excited. You know, it's like a prequel, right?

Exactly. It's a prequel to the sequel.

So I would. I would be excited about that. Listen to this. Check it out. Check out Rick BB's podcast, Hybrid Wrestling Cast. It's available wherever you get your podcast. And you listen to them here. Listen to them over there, too. Support them, Spread the word.

Yep. And you can follow me on Twitter X whatever you want to call it at Hybrid, underscore Cast.

Oh, good call, Rick. Sorry.

Oh, no, it's fine.

All right.

I think. I think the last two episodes, I haven't plugged that part, so. Gotta catch up for lost time.

Well, that's partly my fault because I would usually have that in my notes there.

Yeah, it's all right.

You have access to the notes added.

In that I. I know.

If you need to. All right, everybody ready? We got a big episode coming up. It's ECW hardcore TV, episode 191. Get right to it. All right, we're now here for ECW Hawker TV episode 191, covering December 17, 1996. If you are going to watch this on Peacock, it's. It's pretty similar. It's. It's a little off. But hey, if you don't have access to what we're watching, Peacock does it justice. You can follow along there. It's season four, episode one, episode 51, rather, on Peacock. But what we're watching is from the archives. And I mean, everyone has access to this, I guess, too, right? Internet archives.

Yeah, that's just the website.

Yeah. So, I mean, it's the way you gotta search it is basically it's ECW backwards. So WWCE 1996. You got a search.

May or may not be listed as Softcore tv.

Yeah, that too. Right.

Yep.

Yeah, they love the opposite.

Brilliant. Brilliant.

It's very smart. But anyway, it's 57 minutes and 30 seconds. If you're Gonna follow along with us on that. So we all get set up, right, you guys, Good to go?

Good to go.

All right, I'll, as always, give us a countdown. Three down to one, then say play. When I say play, we all click play. And, you know, just before we get started here, this is part two of Holiday Hell from 1996. The show was December 7, 1996. And previously on the last episode, we have Raven win the world title, ECW Championship, rather from Sandman in the barbed wire match. So now we're going to get more matches from Holiday Hell. We also had Louis McCauley, Brian Lee, Lucy. Brian Lee had a matchup that was on the previous episode. And we're gonna get more of Holiday Hell here. All right, so I'll give his content now. 3, 2, 1, play.

Oh, look at this guy.

Oh, the stud muffin.

The quintessential sud muffin.

With his, his blue bow tie and no shirt. Looks like a little boy. Looks like a scumbag. But, yeah, he's got a little boy. He's got the little boy, like, hairdo. You know, the, the curls and.

Yep. See, now I'm already experiencing the problem that I had in the past. It just keeps buffering.

God damn. What the hell?

I'm gonna fall behind. What the. My Internet sucks.

Apparently, his championship, but that his main adversary, Raven, the post Generation X slacker, came out of rehab to win the ECW title. And what's perhaps even more significant is not that Raven won the belt, but that I, Joel Gertner, predicted it weeks ago. I knew it was gonna happen, I guess.

Do the coverage and I'll catch up to you at some point.

I'm just waiting for Joey to come out and kick the out of him. Now he's ripping on Lance, right?

The guy from Jackass. Chris Pontus. Is that the guy that.

Yeah.

Oh, Ponty. Yeah, Party boy.

I wonder if he got that from him.

Yeah.

I don't know, like, if Chris Pontius cut it from this guy, right?

Yeah, no, I, I, that's what I figured. I don't, I don't know. I've never actually heard where he got that idea for that character from, but it definitely could be, you know.

The ECW opening start yet?

No.

Yeah, bro. Oh, no, no.

Now it's, now it is. Yep.

I'm hitting play. I should be good. I refreshed and then restarted it and.

Sir, did you restart your computer?

I know I was gonna do that piece.

Well, I got some. A quick observer note if you want. All right, so It. They had an indie show in a Woodbridge, Virginia. It's not an ECW show per se. On 12 8. So this was. Would you say 12 7?

Yes.

Okay, so the night after there was an indie show in Woodbridge and the promoter didn't did a no show. So literally the BWO guys who were booked on the show just kind of took over and they did joke matches to amuse themselves, including Stevie and Meanie doing a match pretending to be Hogan versus Warrior from WrestleMania 6.

Oh, sucking dick, that one.

Yeah, yeah. And then they passed around a hat. They passed around a hat to the crowd and answered questions for a dollar a piece.

Oh, geez.

And Axel Rotten apparently was there and was asked how he got the scars on his arm. And he answered that he taped it razor blade to his fingers and cut himself while someone else pretended to hit him with a baseball bat. So talk. Talk about breaking Kayfabe.

Yeah, right. Wow.

That probably would have been one hell of a show to be at.

Absolute.

Wayne Douglas and his backstabbing little.

All right, not to be annoying, but what's the time stamp that we currently have?

402'S coming out. Good. Yes, she is.

Hey, Francine looks like she just had a sleepover at her boyfriend's house.

Yeah, that looks like a T shirt that's coming off.

But yeah, she does. It does look like, you know, I had a sleepover. Now I'm wearing my boyfriend's T shirt.

That is exactly.

Yep. God, that high. Ponytail, man.

Oh, hi, Pony.

That was. That. That was 1996 in a nutshell.

She got me in a nutshell right now. Yeah, the head cheerleader. You know, those are chosen words.

Yes, she very, very much so.

She's the good head cheerleader.

Yes.

This is a mixed tag team match. We got Shane and Francine going up against Tommy and Beulah. And we know what the goods are underneath Francine's T shirt underneath her sleepover party. But wait until you see Beulah. This is one of my favorite Beulah looks.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

Okay, Now I will. I will point out to any of you the belt that. That Douglas is now jerking off in front of. Note that you're not going to see that belt for my very much longer. They're going to get new belts coming up in the next few months.

Oh.

In. In preparation for the pay per view that is coming. Yeah.

Which pay per views next?

Barely Legal.

The first pay per view.

So this is like the first one that's on like nationwide.

Yes.

Yeah. It's actually on pay per view, Personal pay per view.

Yeah. All the shows that they've done before, like, November to Remember and all that. They were not on pay per view. They were literally. If you weren't at the ECW arena and you didn't buy the tape, you aren't seeing it.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

It wasn't syndicated anywhere.

Nope. I mean, obviously they'd show it on hardcore tv, but, like, you wouldn't get it that if. If it was on December 7th, you had to have been at the ECW arena to see it. You weren't getting it from the comfort of your own home.

I'm looking forward to covering that soon. A few months.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Well, at this point, like, four months, five months.

Yep.

Gotta love the name, that's for sure.

Yeah. Again, perfectly chosen words.

Francine's so hot.

Earlier because it got edited, but Shane said, cut the music.

Hello.

117 pounds, got 20 pounds of tits.

That. That looks like she made it out of black duct tape. Like electrical T. Cue the Allison chains.

All right, guys, Eula, be ready. I think Francine looks good.

Oh. She puts her hands behind her back.

Oh, I see what you're saying. Pro. Seriously, one of your favorite looks.

That's a good look. That's like she's going to bed.

Yeah.

And you just want to, like, take all that off.

That's. That's. That's the. The. The sleepover when she first gets over and you're sitting on the couch watching TV together. Look.

Yeah.

Oh. Oh, the crowd's going crazy for it, too.

Do you blame them?

No, no, I'm on board. Oh, man.

I'm. I feel like I'm 11 again, guys.

Yeah, that's. That's part of this. Go back in time. This is the mixed tag team war of 1996 is what they coined this. And again, this is from holiday hell, December 7, 1996.

She's undefeated.

Really?

All of a sudden, undefeated? Yeah. We have, like, one match.

Something like that. Yeah. Well, she had the cat fight with Francine, and she had at least one encounter with. With Fonzie.

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right.

They might. They might have done this.

Was the cafe the match, though, or was that just sporadic something?

It had a ref. It had a referee. Oh, granted, that referee was Stevie Richards, but it had a referee.

All right, we got Jimmy Molino. It's easy to point out Jim Molino now because he's the one with less and less hair.

Yes.

Yeah.

And. And I believe from now on, he always has A goatee as well. And I don't think Finnegan does. Although I've said that before. And then I. And then all of a sudden, Finnegan has a fucking goatee and I'm like, God damn. Guy looks like Robert Gibson in the front row. The little weird mustache.

Kiss my ass.

I'd rather kiss Beulah's or Francine's. Tommy, shut the.

Because I like Francine. I mean, obviously, but sometimes her ass just looks like a flat ass.

It does sometimes, yeah. But it's still amazing.

It's. It's. It's all good. I can't complain, but it's like a long ass day.

Oh, you're really picking there.

Yeah, I know. It's like I'm scrolling through pornhub or something. Like Criticizing Ass.

Page 22, right?

Oh, lopsided.

What'd you say?

I said. I said you were saying page 22. And I go, nope, her boobs are. Are lopsided. Right.

Like any of us are in a position to complain about Francina Buell already.

Yeah. For real.

Love you, Francine. If you're watching.

Yes, Francine, love you.

Yep.

You're a beaut.

Yep.

I take that that angle looked great. I said that angle looked great.

Yeah, exactly.

Said, yeah.

Franchise with a plancha.

Oh, yeah.

It just doesn't look right for him.

That did look awkward.

Yeah.

He was like, immediately trying to grab that guardrail, make himself feel safe. I hate that water bottle spot.

Stupid.

Gonna punch it with this water bottle. So water squirts everywhere and looks like it. Did something look like me with this plastic chair. Commercial break.

Yeah.

This say.

Well, yes. This is a TV show. Very weird, though, that they went to a commercial break.

We got some coverage here.

Yep. Holiday Hill Tour, Gangsters versus the eliminated Middletown.

All right. Gangsters eliminates. Yep, Middletown.

I might have to grab another title shortly. Just a heads up.

All right. Candido versus.

Yeah, I want to see that.

The rematch again. King of the Hill Battle Royale, which.

We'Re going to see on the next episode.

Next is Taz. There's a lot of wild names in there.

Yep.

Ah, yeah. And we'll see that tonight. 19009990 for E. 199aminute.

Children under 18 must get their parents permission.

If you're watching this, you got no parents permission.

Absolutely. Hey, dad, can I call a. Can I call a hotline that I saw at 1 o'clock in the morning.

When I'm not supposed to be up?

Right.

Joey's chilling here.

He's Trying to tell us a secret.

Saturday night, January 11th.

Make the call.

Still going with the Bulldozer.

Bulldozer? How can you have two nicknames? Prime Time, Brian Lee, the Bulldozer.

Yeah. That's way too much.

My name is. My name is the ringmaster. Stone Cold Steve Austin.

That's exactly it.

He said no comment. Now, it's just a rumor, but I've got a hunch Funk's gonna accept the challenge to face the Bulldozer on Saturday night, January 11, at the EC.

Like, don't have to get that close to the camera.

Yeah. Back up, Joey.

I've got a feeling that Brian Lee is gonna meet Terry.

I got a feeling.

I don't know. I don't even know if Terry Funk could get a good match out of Brian Lee.

Yeah, you could. I bet he could.

Yeah. Take it. He could take an ass kicking. That's. That's for sure.

Buy the shirt. Buy the shirt. Buy the shirt. Pwl. Wasn't that thing Kevin Nash said with the NWO shirt?

I think so. Ecw. It's not for everyone. That's for damn sure.

Yeah, should be. It was for everyone. Now back to the contest. Here. Common Dream. His ass is hanging out.

Yep.

The ladies have not been tagged in.

Yes.

The crowd waits in anticipation.

Yes. They want a cat fight.

Tommy Dreamer's ass is hanging out. Sadly, Francine and BU is not right.

Yeah. What's up with that?

Working on the knee. Okay. I hate this spot.

You don't like this spot?

Well, because if.

When.

Okay.

Look at that.

Why doesn't he move his leg?

Because.

Jump on his heart. What's this blurry stuff?

Yeah, he is grabbing China. Yeah. Oh, he's Donald Trump. He got a hand. A handful of.

That's grabbed by the. All right, it's in Pennsylvania. It needs votes. Yeah, it's grabbed by the. Oh, she didn't like that at all. But Tommy doesn't give a. I'll grab your. I'll drive your ass, too, in a second. Oh, but we get the opposite. Shane Douglas hits the pile driver on Tommy Dreamer. He's down Francine. You can see in the background, she's fixing her. Fixing up her coochie a little bit.

And her high Pony.

Yeah. Hi, Pony. She looks like she's a character from, like, a Mad Max movie without makeup. Like, if she had, like, some face paint on, she'd be like the Mad Max character.

Yes, you are correct.

That is a great. A great observation.

Yeah.

Well, thanks. And she probably look even hotter with that.

Oh, yeah. With the. With like the face paint on. Absolutely. And like. Like war paint, like, across our tits and stuff.

Oh. Oh, you're getting a little crazy now. But yeah, I like it. Meanwhile, Buell is like the girl that's, like, at the gym, then the gym closes and you know what happens, you know?

Yeah.

From there.

I always. I always looked at her as, like, she's that. That girl next door that you always see going out for a run. And that's pretty much what she wears. Sports bra, little shorts and. Okay, kids.

I like that.

Yeah. But then. But then she also. She also, you know, dresses when she's not working out, obviously. She dresses like, you know, Beulah with the. The little skirts and the. The Empire Records look, as I call it.

Oh, yes, yes.

You love the little skirts with the little sweater. Yeah, the ankle boots.

What was the girl in Empire Records that wore that outfit? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I mean, then you also had. What's her name? Yeah, Renee Zellweger. No, she was in Clueless.

The same time period.

Oh, definitely same time period.

Yeah.

Like 95, 96. Yeah, right around this time, actually.

Exactly. Yeah.

Yeah. But yeah, no, Renee Zellweger also had, like, the. The short skirt kind of looking Empire record.

The songs that we played on the episode that at this time hasn't been released, those are from. What soundtrack did I say? Oh, they were both from Romeo, Romeo and Juliet.

Yeah, yeah.

Which was 96. What's on the Empire Wrecking soundtrack? Maybe there's something good. I'll put it play from there. Look at Tommy. Tommy's like. Oh, Tommy type tag. Bu in. Here we go. It's cat fight. Cat fight. 96. Holy JV. We got a cat fight.

Oh, I'm watching, buddy. She goes standing in between all the cracks.

Tommy thinks it's hardcore.

Look at that shot.

Oh, whoa, whoa.

They blur that out today.

Oh, yeah.

Ball shots. Yeah.

Oh, the ass shots.

Yeah, the ass shot. Yeah.

Oh, the ass shot. Okay.

Like a thong that thin.

Oh, yeah, whatever.

4.

You got a figure four from the franchise who hates Dick Flair. Damn, Bua. You know what? I don't know. I love the fact that these girls have knee pads on. You know, they're really getting into it.

Yes.

Yeah. It's effort.

Bueller's got. Bueller's got wrist tape on, too. Or some sort of wrist bands.

Oh. Oh, my God. Wow. Holy.

She took a hell of a bump.

Wow. She, like, ricocheted off that.

Probably have shoulder pads on, too.

She bumped hot on that one. Holy moly. So, for those of you not watching, but Shane Douglas got whipped into the ropes and sent Francine. Well, Tommy Dreamer.

To catch those hands. Never mind.

Oh, roll up, Tommy Natural.

That looks so shitty. But, hey, good effort. Now he's going for the figure four.

Yep.

And Francine is still out. And Beulah is taunting Shane Douglas. She shouldn't motor bottom, you know. Oh, here comes Francine. She's going up to the topper. She's got a pan.

Oh.

Oh.

Holy.

You see her just shake her at the crowd. That was cool. She didn't get the taunt long enough.

Oh, here we go.

Yeah.

Oh, no. I'm a dream. He's got Francine. He's got her off of the bottom.

Turning around.

Titties. We can't see it.

No. Her tits popped out. Yeah.

What the. Why can't we see it? Like a pet cylinder boy. Why can't we see it?

I want to see the kitty. I. I've seen the uncensored footage. I'm trying to think where I have it. Yeah. I want to say it's one of the four releases that they put out in the. Like, right around the time ECW went out of business. Oh, I'd have to check, but not that I mind checking.

Yeah, If. If you can, fine.

Yeah.

If not. I've seen titties before.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. But, you know, titties.

That would have been cool. Yeah. Especially in a wrestled match.

Yeah.

This. Oh, watch this. Good for her. But that's horrible.

Nice cleavage shot.

Yes. Well, she's always good for that. She always hurt herself big time. Now Shane's like, boom, I'm gonna grab you, slam you. She took that well.

She did.

Look at. He hooks the leg and pins her. That's because he wanted to get his dick close enough, you know? You know. Pervert. Shane Pervy. Belly to belly. Dick the. That's what it was. Dick the suplex.

That's a nice one.

Yeah. Belly to belly. That depends on the height. Sometimes it's cock the mouth suplex, like, depending on how tall you are.

Yeah, there's. There. There have been times that he does that belly to belly, and it's almost like he's just giving them a hug and spinning around like they don't even really go that far, that high, you know?

Right. Hey, damage control in the house. Is this our lady two.

Two of. Two of my favorite women in the ecw.

They're commiserating together.

Yeah.

Francine's like, hey, you got a tampon? Sorry.

You got a Tampon. Where'd that chain come from?

Oh, no. Yo. Didn't show the chain before. Yeah. What the. Yeah. When was that chain in the match at all?

I did that edited. Did we watch an edited version or did they edit this match?

They might have clipped something out of the back of it, maybe, but that.

Wasn'T in play at all, that chain.

I mean, I. I know in the.

There is the history of the chain.

Yeah. I was gonna say Douglas in the future and in the past has used a chain.

Right.

But I don't remember.

Shane Douglas used the chain to beat Tommy Dreamer, right. Back in the day.

That wasn't used at all in the match. Right. Did I miss that?

Yeah, I don't.

I see it in. Or maybe he just has the chain and was looking at it like, oh, I wanted to beat you something. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then they'll refer to it later.

Oh, Douglas has it in his hand right there.

Oh.

Then he throws it down.

Oh, okay.

But they didn't really, though.

Well, everyone's looking at Buell's tits.

Yeah, right, Exactly.

Well, I am.

Here's the. Here's the. The. The. The. What did you call it? The. The Dick to Pussy cover Dick.

The suplex. No, no. The.

Sweetest woman in ecw.

All right, victory. Let's, I guess, lay out and listen to this.

Not be defeated. DeAndre, the giant of the 1990s, the person who had so many weapons coming into that mix tag match and ECW arena on December 7 that people said she could not be beaten. But she fell to the hands of a greater athlete.

Me.

You see, Bill and McGillicuddy, you wanted to bring your boyfriend to take out the sweetheart of ecw. Francine. That's fine, Francine. You stay toe to toe with him. Just swell and Beulah, you. And I farted out like two courageous tigers as I reached around that muscular body after you moonsaulted onto Francine, I had to grasp it, and I knew I had to pop from the hips in order to get you over in the Bella to belly and drive you into the mat. And then I had to hook the leg and grape find the head and hook the second leg with my right leg and pull back into it and squeeze and hold for the victory. Three. One, two, three. I did it. I defeated Bill Gillicotti.

The Dick cover.

I think he just came in his pants a little bit.

He's so excited about pinning Beulah. You're right. Came in his pants.

Sloppy.

All right, we got Joel Garner. Let's take a listen. He's very creative with his wording. I'm impressed with what he does.

As always. Wrong as usual.

That was. That didn't look like an actual remote. Look like one of those old calculators, probably.

It probably was.

Texas instrument.

Yeah, that's what it looked like. A graphing calculator.

Yeah. TI83.

Yeah, TI80.

That was it.

Oh, Jamie, you're not there yet because you said you're in mid. Mid season. Who.

Does he sound weird to you now, Rick?

Who?

True.

No, he sounds fine.

It's all right.

It sounds weird to me. That's weird. Okay, never mind.

Oh, I was saying that you're almost at the point in season three of the Sopranos where you get to the pine barons episode, which is one of the best episodes. Episode ever.

What is that?

And. Oh, well, when you get to it, you'll know, But I lost my shoe. There's a. There's a big scene. Like, the whole episode is basically predicated on a Russian dude getting pissed off that his universal remote controller was not put back on the state. Like, the charging station by Paulie deletes the whole episode.

Okay.

All right. In the. And the controller looked like that thing that Joe Garner had.

All right.

A giant ass controller. And Paulie, the guy's like, but put that back on the channel. And Paul is like, whoops. And he breaks it, and then it leads into a whole thing. Ah, it's episode 11 of season three. Awesome.

Yeah, I think I'm at, like, seven something.

Oh, yeah. Great. Episode seven.

I'll be watching more this week for sure.

Friday night.

I said that wrong. Hey, Rick, we played this song before.

No, I don't think so.

Oh, we got to do it then.

Write it down.

Great.

Yeah, I pulled. I pulled up the. The soundtrack to Empire Records as well, so we can get a. You know, get another song out of it.

All right. What's the name of the song? Do you remember?

I don't.

Possum. Kingdom of the Toadies.

Yeah.

This is my favorite Guitar Hero song.

Yeah.

Okay.

We played this, right? JB Toys?

I'm pretty sure we have. I'd be shocked if we haven't.

Yeah, we did. It came up before. I probably would say it's the Toriest. Yeah. Pop one. Open fire, up one. Now let's get extreme.

How much time left do we have here? All right, I'm gonna grab a beer on this one. Like 25 minutes on this one.

All right, so Mr. Hughes in the background, upside down.

His plans came together at Heat Wave.

All right, so we're gonna recap of Shane here. Unforgiven by Metallica playing in the back. Yeah, we definitely haven't played this. All right, so anyway, what was on the Empire Records.

All right, so Till I Hear it from you by the Gin Blossoms was like the big hit off of that. But there's Cranberries, there's Toad the Wet Sprocket. There's a better than Ezra song. There's a Cracker song. One of the. One of the songs I was looking through is Playing Loud by Sponge. I know that. I really dig that song. So there's a. There's a few different ones in the water.

What's that, David?

I got back in time to see that in the water.

Look at a bathing suit. She's gonna yellow.

What kind of person he really is.

Smooth up in years.

Apparently in the movie Smooth Up, India's in Empire Records.

Apparently not on the soundtrack.

Yeah. What's the name of the group that sings with a picture?

Bullet Boys.

That's who sings it.

Yep.

Damn.

I like this Metallica song, but it's long as. Yeah, Unforgiven. Sure.

I can find a shortened version.

Championship. And the night his partner got stranded in Puerto Rico, the franchise, Shane Douglas.

Stepped in lead singer. Metallica. He aged backwards, like Benjamin Button.

James Hetfield.

Yeah. I always thought he was like, so old looking when I was a kid. And then as I grew up, he was like, oh, he looks young. Hair and a shitty mustache. Yeah, that he had. Then when he cut his hair. Give me fuel, give me five. Give me double time.

Yeah, yeah. Load and reload.

Right. That's when he looked young.

Yeah, that's when they all.

Oh, we got a flashback. Oh, so, yeah, this is.

They're talking. They're basically showing that, like friend, the franchise and Tommy have had heat before.

Right.

Because they showed. They showed franchise filling in for. For Johnny Gunn with tag titles and then turning on Tommy and.

Yeah. And then this was like the week later.

Yeah, I put.

I put it in the notes. This was from December 21, 1993. This was actually Holiday Hell 93. So we're covering Holiday Hell 96. And here it is, Holiday Hell 93 three years before. And if you want to go back in our archives, you can check out episode 18 in which we covered E. Haku TV episodes 3738, December 21 and December 28, 1993.

Apparently, Tommy Dreamer has been disqualified for the use of that chain.

And that's Finnegan I think it's fine.

Yeah. It was Finnegan.

And it's so funny to think that we covered that.

Yep.

Years ago.

That'd be a cool shirt.

That is cool.

Yeah.

That sure sucks, though.

Yeah.

I don't need to see Taz's face. I like the whole, like the circular part.

There's no design to it. It's pathetic.

If there. If it was a. If it was like a cartoon of Taz, like, not cartoony, but like. Like a. It wasn't a photo. It was like a hand drawing of him. I think it would. That would be fine. But it's because it's a photograph of him. It doesn't look right.

Right.

Florida explode.

Yeah.

That looks weird.

Yeah.

They still hyping this?

Yep.

Tell them tapes.

Yeah, that's. That's how you make money. The cat fight.

That's why they're showing. That is because they just had the fight. So they want to remind people of. Oh, they did this before by the tape.

Right. One of them might get naked.

So jv, you. You fall in now on blue mini with the bwl?

Yeah.

You buying into him? Yeah, the blue guy.

I like him. It's better than what I thought from, like I've seen online.

He's actually pretty creative. Like with the. He says I'm even. Oh, okay.

So the thing is, I only knew him from wwf, really.

That's true.

I saw like a watered down version of him. He wasn't getting that. This type of play, right? Not that I remember.

Yeah. No, he was like a mid. Mid card jobber type of thing. He feuded with Gold Dust at one point doing the blue dust thing, but that's right.

Yeah, that's right.

But other than that, he was very much not like a. He was a, you know, comic relief. Yeah. He's making.

I love Nova, dude.

He can't rip the shirt because he's not. He's not jacked enough.

Baby goes to sleep.

Give him his medicine.

It's perfectly clear.

You're not gonna get one of those.

Dolls in any of the stores before Christmas.

Those are.

The blue mini doll is supposed to be like Tickle Me Elmo.

Yeah. And at one. At one point, Meanie turned the doll around and pulled its pants down. So it was right there. So it's ass was showing.

Oh, there it is.

Look at that calculator. It says Tropicana.

The. Did he get that from.

Turned it like minute. Made points.

I was gonna say it was like. It was like a freebie that he got at some Convention.

I'm feeling generous. Oh, man, I love Stevie Richards.

In. In the words of. In the words of Todd Gordon, the most responsible man to ever wear da Daisy Dukes.

It's a good quote.

Yeah, well, no, because he was. He's. He talks about how Stevie was not the partying type. Like he was straight edge. He didn't go out and party and drink and do all kinds of crazy. But he also was a big goof. You know, he's wearing Daisy Dukes and cut off Winger shirts and stuff. So, yeah, he was. He was responsible.

I don't know how much he got.

Stevie probably. He probably got quite a bit. I mean, he's not a bad looking dude.

Nah, I get that.

But like, personality, right?

His personality seems good, but it seems like it could be, like, on the verge of being like, goofy to the point where a girl might be like, ah, you're weird. You know what I mean?

You. You make a good point. The battle of the Bam Bam.

Oh, there's the kimona. Come on, Leah. I want.

They will shill this tape till kingdom come.

Yes. So anybody comes.

Yeah.

Yes. You got to keep them separated. I know. Shaker Spear. I know.

Volunteer Jim Morrison.

People are strange. Called the Raven. Yeah, that's. That's Raven's quote, like the latest fashion.

Oh, it's JV's favorite wrestler. Using. Using Pantera now.

Oh, we got the Pantera music.

Yep.

Oh, this is new.

If it's a match.

I mean the music.

Oh, yeah. Have we. Yeah, we haven't played Walk from Pantera yet. I don't think.

No, no, I don't think I'll play that.

All right. Boom.

Write it down, Write it down.

All right. Break song. Pantera. What was the other song that we just had? We got a good one before too.

Odys. But we've used it, right?

Yeah, yeah, that's right. All right, so we'll go pan Tara walk, find something from the next episode.

Yeah.

Or Rick and pick a Empire record song.

Yeah, yeah. We'll see if there's something in the other and the next episode that sticks out. We'll. We'll go with that. If not, I'll pill. I'll pull something from Empire Records. Billy.

This is a badass song for entrance music. It's fake Cops.

Like he's Muhammad Ali.

What use Joey Styles doesn't understand what use Taz has for Bill Alfonso. You kidding me, Rick? What's the purpose of Bill Alonso?

Be a friend than an enemy.

He is there to be a mouthpiece of sorts. Not that Taz needs it. But. And he's just an annoying little. With his. With his whistle.

He's meant to be annoying in a distraction.

Yeah.

To the opponent.

Boom.

That's it. How does Joey not know that? Come on. Joey's victim to it. He's annoyed by it. Yeah, that's exactly his point. Look at Rob Van Dam back in the day. Oh, all right. Building up the Sabu. So gotta remind the audience that Savu is the end game here. Which for this match, though, I mean, it's basically saying, like, Taz is gonna beat Rob Van Dam because.

Right.

He's on the path to Sabu.

Yep.

But let's see how it goes.

Don't. Don't forget, Taz choked out RVD in the aisle about a month or so ago.

Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Has it. Such a badass at this time. I mean, he's always a badass.

This should be an outstanding match.

Wow.

I read these way bigger than that.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Yeah. Taz is, like, our height.

Oh, there you go. Loaf of blow. They actually got the fan going in the background, finally.

Yep. In. In December when it's cold as out. Oh, amateur bow and arrow.

Holy stretching his ass.

Yep.

Fonzie's not even looking at the ring either. There he goes. Hey. Let go. Damn.

Crowd chanting. You, Taz.

Actual heat with the crowd.

Tiger suplex.

Double arm. Oh, Doug. Tiger. Wow, what a move.

Yep.

Harvard's good because he can help make those suplexes. I mean, not that they don't always look great, but even better.

Crowd chant and Sabu. You got middle fingers in the crowd. People are pissed. That's what's great about the ECW audiences. They know what's going on and they play into the storyline. They go along with it. They're not trying to overcome it. You know, get what they want. They go along with what the story is.

Right.

They're supportive of what's happening.

Right. They. They play along, if you will.

Right.

Oh, big move. Almost down his ass.

Holy sh. Whoa.

That was. So does he hit his head? Really?

He. I believe either he hit his head on Taz's shoulder or Taz. Taz's head and his head hit. He didn't land on his head, he landed on his ass.

Gotcha. Gotcha.

Yeah, but he almost fell back before he even made that. No.

Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. But, yeah, he didn't whack his head on the floor.

Yes.

If. If he did, he probably wouldn't be conscious, I'm guessing.

Yeah, Like Taz is pretty solid. Maybe you want to hit the concrete instead.

Yeah, he almost overshot him out of this matchup.

T is actually.

Yeah. Taz is finally, like, stunned and not in control.

Yeah. Like a pedigree, almost.

Yeah. Pedigree. Yeah. Double underhook, some rolling, somersault, O miss. Knees up. Shut the up, Fonzie. All right, now I got an issue, and I don't think I brought this up. Fonzie's hat. The hat. Love that. It's cool. I want it. What the fuck is up with hats that had ropes along the side, like, in the front that was, like, above the brim?

That was a fuck's a rock, right?

Yeah.

I don't know why, though, because it's.

What the. A rope for? And that's on Fonzie's hat.

Look. I didn't see a rope.

Yeah, it's there where the brim and the hat connect.

Right. The brim, and it's right at the top of the brim.

Oh, okay. All right, I'll. I'll look for it, but do you.

Know what I'm talking about, though, Rick?

I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what the point of that is. I guess to look cool, but I don't know. I don't know. It's stupid. Yeah.

Like, I remember, even as a kid, like, why the is there a rope on this? Like.

At least, like, some of them you used to see, like, it'd be a different color, too, you know?

Oh, yeah, yeah, they're right.

Like an accent color type of deal.

Well, that would be a good idea, but it's usually, like, if it's a white hat, it's a white rope.

Yeah. No, no, black rope. Yeah. But, like, if he had an orange rope, it would. It would work.

That would be cool.

Yeah.

Yeah. I don't even know why that, like, bothered me, but it's like, I'm looking at the hat. It's like. It's just so annoying. The. The point. It's like a sailor thing. You wear a hat, you're gonna pretend like you're a sailor.

The exploder, Suplex or T bone, whatever. I have to reference John Akayama.

Fonz is going crazy on those roads.

Yeah.

Jesus.

Ultimate warrior.

Yeah.

Yeah. There you go.

He's. He's slamming the ropes. He got a rope on his hat.

That rope looks super loose, though.

Yeah. Hit it. Oh, nice bridge. He's got the bridge on the ponytail. Boom. Everybody's like, the. Off my hair. This is a good match, man. It is.

It's methodical. Like, it's. They're not rushing anything. They're letting. They're letting spots breathe. It's perfect.

Two guys that get it.

Right, right, right. You can, you can have a spot fest. Not that this is a spot fest, but you can have a spot fest if. If you know how what you're doing and it works.

Right. This is a solid match. You put Saboo into this match, it turns into a spot fest.

Yep.

That's the difference. I mean, they'll do spots like he's about to do right now. Yeah, he's got the steel chair. He's probably gonna throw it in his face or something and kick him in the head, that kind of thing. No, not at that point.

Oh, my God.

I, I, I wasn't even thinking that.

Okay.

That was just a chair whip. I was thinking, like, the spot where Robin M eventually ends up doing in wwe. You throw the chair up and then kick the guy in the head.

Oh, the Van Daminator.

Yeah, yeah, the Van Damming it.

Yeah, he's surfing. There you go. I call that surfing. I don't know if it really is.

But that's a good one. Yeah, I like that call. Right. Gone. Oh, that's like this.

Yeah. Then he just mounts him, starts pounding on him.

That was a stiff chair.

Oh, damn. Just like you.

It's funny how we were just talking about, like, how, like, methodical the match has been now. It's just chaotic. There it is.

Who uses a chair better than RVD, especially in 96.

Not too many people.

Kind of reinvents the use.

Yep.

Well, he uses it much better than Sabu because Sabu always tries to set up a chair, and then it up, like, trips and falls on it and. Yeah, RVD just, like, throws it at people.

High angle German.

Oh, wow. That was.

Yep. Nobody gets out of this, daddy.

Nope.

Except for rvd. Oh, nope.

He got out. Hit the ropes. Should have been broken up already. He grabbed the ropes, ref. Should have broke that up.

Yep.

Lock it in. Nope, it's not locked in yet.

Oh, well. Pin Taz.

Yeah, I was gonna say his shoulders are down. What the.

Oh, we're doing the. The br. Hot spot.

Oh.

One, two. Oh, that was a three.

That was a three.

That was three, definitely. They did the classic Brett Hart, Roddy Piper Brahant to Stone Cold and Survivor Series 96, which was just days before this. Well, you know, they watch Survivor Series.

Yeah, right. Who in here didn't. Couldn't afford the pay per view and doesn't know.

Exactly.

He made him pass out.

Wow.

Oh, sorry.

Didn't tap out. He choked him out.

Well, maybe Stone Cold will steal that from them at WrestleMania 13.

Yeah, maybe later.

That was a hell of a match, though.

That was.

Yeah. Good match.

HW is the test ground. See how the crowd reacts.

Oh, we all know Steve Austin stole his gimmick from Sandman and Mikey Woodbrick.

I refuse to believe that beer drinking.

Guy saying, man, he took the whipper snapper from Mikey Whipwreck as a stunner. All right, so that concludes the first episode that we're covering here. It was December 17, 1996, and, man, that was a hell of a show. We got Shane Douglas and Francine versus Tommy and Beulah and who mixed tag team match. And that was fun. That was. That was a sight for sore eyes. People that needed it. And then what? What a hell of a match. Well, about to have some little guido in a little bit in the next episode.

Yep.

Oh, yeah, that. That last match. Taz vs Ramen from Holiday Hell. Good. And what's up, Jimmy?

My back. So we're already on the next episode. I'll just wait. I'll wait till we start the next one.

All right.

I knew you. I knew you were watching it. That's why I was like, nah, Little Guido's not up yet. But, yeah, yeah. So we got a little guido coming up in just a bit, but we're gonna take a little break. And we got some Pantera, we got Walk, and we'll be right back. It.

Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence? One step from lashing out at you. You want to have to get under my skin and call yourself a friend? I've got more friends like you. What do I do?

Yes.

Damn. Don't smack it anymore. Want to chase who I am where I belong? You can't be something you're not. Be yourself by yourself. Stay away from me. A lesson learned in life. No Spat walk what you say? Read spat walk. Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? Rocking mouth when I'm not around it's easy into a team you CR a weak friends that sympathize get him viol if there no stack in mind. Want to chase who I am where I feel belong. You can't be something you're not. Be yourself by yourself. Stay away from me. A lesson learned in life. Don't hold what you say. Breathe spice walk. Are you talking to me? Read spent walk what you say Read. Spence. Walk. Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? No way. Sa Spritz. Walk. Are you joking? To me? Breathe. Split. Walk. What you say? Read. Split. Walk. Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? Walk on hold.

Oh.

It.

All right, we're back now for the next episode of ECW Hardcore TV. And we are going to cover ECW Hardcore TV episode 192, covering December 24th or 25th, 1996, depending on wherever the. You're watching this. Whatever. If you're watching our Peacock, it's season four, episode 52. Supposed to be the last episode of the year, but it might not be in some cases. But either way, check it out if you can. And if not, just listen to us. All over it, though. And we're going to continue our coverage of Holiday Hell 1996 from December 7th, and then we're gonna get some more new. New stuff. New matches from Middletown, New York, on the December 20, 1996 show. So just a few days before this got released, there were some new matches, like a King of the Hill Battle Royal match. And I mean, yeah, that's a big match from that show. And then we're gonna get some little guido against the Dudleys. Another fun show. Fun show nonetheless, to wrap up ECW in 1996. So after this, boys, we're in 1997 already. Crazy.

And that also when you're having fun. It's crazy, though, that we're already.

Wow.

Yeah. 97.

Hey, we covered 93, 94, 85, 96. Now it's 97's fifth year.

Come. Come along. Come. A long way from watching Johnny Hot Body, right?

No, even just like with being with Rick Bibi. Rick, you. You covered all 96 with us now?

I did, yeah. And I realized that the first quote unquote, quality control center. Not. Not when I was recording them, but when I would just send you a bunch of shit and then you read it all at Once was the second half of November to remember 95. So we've already surpassed when I kind of got involved in terms of sending you stuff other than just like a one or two kind of tweets, hey, you this up, and you this up kind of stuff.

That's what's good about having you on here is you don't have to say we up anymore. We just.

Right. I just. I just correct you immediately.

Yeah, it's just on. All right, so that's great. All right, so let's get into this. It's again, episode 192. December 24th, 25th. 26th. Whatever. The. It's easy to be hardcore TV. You can find this on the archives as well. I think it's listed as the 25th, right? Yeah, on the archives. Internet archives. All right, so it should be 59, 55, 50, 55.59. Or as I took my notes yesterday on this and it was 56, so. Hey, they lost a second within the last day on this. Whatever. I'll give Countdown as always, three down to one. When I say play, we all click play. Three, two, one, play. All right, we got a guido in the house at holiday hell. I don't know, Pebble. My V is doing in the background.

There because mine delayed to start 15 seconds.

Yep, 16.

We know when you're at 35.

Okay, okay.

It's just easier right here.

34, 35, 6.

Thank you.

All right, JV, what were you going to say about little Guido before?

I was to say we. We have a friend of ours who I don't want to name drop, who has a brother in law that reminds me of this guy. You know who I'm talking about?

Brother in law that reminds you of little Queen.

We went to New York with him. Oh, does he remind you, Tommy?

Yeah, my kid Cash over there too.

Yeah, it's David Gazano.

Man with no name.

Yeah, man with too many names.

Hey, that was funny. Jv, who does kid Cash look like? Like if he was an adult, he wasn't pretending to be a frog.

It does kind of look like him.

What the. The odds of that? That's a. That's. That's a throwback to the bottom line cast.

Deep cut. Deep cut.

He does look like Kyle Blackburn.

If he does a frog splash during this match, so help me.

He starts hopping around the flag the ring, I'm leaving.

Don't we get a clip?

Look at this. Way up.

Thanks, Flash. All right, so we got cut match here. I like Paisones. Oh, you hit the God rail now.

Well, I only like their chicken Caesar pizza. I think their regular pizza sucks.

I. Yeah, I don't like their pizza. I. I just like the cheese breadsticks from there.

The calzones are good though.

Yeah, that. That's one of their specialties. Yeah, those are good. You have other cheese breadsticks, though.

Yeah, those are good too.

Oh, the thick as those things, that's like, you know, not about me, I guess.

No, no. About the breadsticks, though. Sorry, I didn't mean to derail you there.

That's all right. It's always good to make fun of yourself. Yeah, somebody's gonna do it. Spike Dudley. Joey's even going with it by Paisano. It's not Morton, Jericho. Richard Butthead, whatever the his name is.

Yeah.

Beavis Blackburn.

Stuart.

Stuart.

Mr. Winger.

Winger.

Senor Beavis. Senor Butthead.

Senor Butthead.

Rock to rock to Taco Bell.

Wow. Jamie's got a great butt.

He does.

JV is so, like, low key on his invitations, man. Like that. That was a trademark of hanging out with jv. It was like just hanging out, being high or whatever. Jamie's just doing voices now. He's all shy on. He's all shy on the air. What was that? The weed kicks in.

No, he said the ADD kicks in.

Oh.

Keep myself occupied.

I do that a lot.

Like. Like Kyle Blackburn being a friend.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Except I don't jump around like a frog.

Right on being like Nightcrawler.

I was. I was telling. I was telling Prue. I sent him a message earlier when we were mentioning about Kyle Blackburn and that the kid at my school, he used to pretend he was a velociraptor, you know, because we had. He had seen Jurassic Park.

Yeah, I mentioned Rick when he said that. It's like, dude, there's a lot of raptors running around. Then y. Especially me. Like, if you weren't doing that in your bedroom, that. Something wrong with you. Yeah, everybody was running around like a raptor. I'm doing it right now. There's nothing wrong with it.

No.

Rick was like, yeah, I wasn't doing that in front of a bunch of kids.

Yeah, I wasn't running. I wasn't running around in front of kids doing it.

You gotta know better.

Now, the. The. I will say this, though. The kid that. After I sent that to you, I was thinking about that kid a little bit more, and I think he actually was like, autistic or something. So I feel a little bad talking about him. But. But he definitely was. Was. Was doing that.

Hey, who are we to. You know, what's the term? Evaluate? Anybody, I guess. Oh, right, right.

Yeah. No, you're. You remain.

Attack.

The kid was like eight years old, Nine years old.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

The.

Yeah, Jurassic Park. I was like, seven. Jurassic park came out or something.

So he a kid.

Right, Exactly.

I'm sure there's plenty of that I did at the same age that people could be joking about me about.

Oh, yeah, I. I know there is video footage of me doing stupid like that. So when I was like, six or seven. So.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This Video of me, my cousins going through the backyard, like, pretending to like, drop kick each other and then going up to the camera cam cord, like, where Bushwhack is probably. Like, if nobody understands what that is, we look like a bunch of idiots.

Yeah.

All right, so the Dudleys win this match that we didn't talk about much, but Spike Dudley, though, is coming into his own. I like Spike a lot. And why does Pebbles Maya Villa never have his T. His shirt tucked in?

Maybe?

Yeah.

The ref, Peewee more.

He does look like it doesn't.

That's funny.

Does he have, like. Never mind. I thought he had loafers on. This guy's reffing in loafers. Like he's.

Anything is possible. Jv.

The Rock just took Ricky Stark's gimmick back.

Well, yeah, actually, Peewee Moore looks like Ricky Starks.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Aw, blows now. Oh, dude, compared to, like, where WWE is right now, they're just on another level.

Yeah. WWE is like shining like they got.

A shot of steroids in their hole kind of. And then old roster.

Yeah. My. My buddy convinced me to watch the Rumble. Like the whole pay per view, not just the rumbles.

Yeah.

And I was just like, holy, this is exactly why I got into wrestling like this. This is amazing. Like, where has this been in the past, you know, 15 years or whatever?

They're definitely like, the product's definitely getting a little better.

Yep.

I don't. I have a hard time watching wrestling stuff, though. Like, I, you know, when I watch wrestling, I don't want to watch like a half hour just watching clips on Twitter.

Yeah. I don't want to watch 3 Hour Raw.

I don't even want to watch 3 Hour Pay per views, bro.

Yeah, I. I got you.

Because they just feel like raw until they get to like the.

The big match. Yeah.

Because the mid car matches don't feel like important.

No, you're right. Right. But yeah, no, like, I'll, like, I'll. I won't watch RAR or Smackdown, but I'll watch, you know, 10 minute clips of whatever happened. You know, like, like, same here. Like, Bailey turning on. On damage control or whatever.

Damage control turns on her, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, like her, her, hers. All of a sudden reaction Japanese. And they.

They. That was awesome.

Yeah, no, that was. I got goosebumps, like, seeing that. I'm like, this is like. I'm like 10 years old again. Like, you know, good storytelling that they have. Yeah.

Going on. Hey, I'm gonna. I'm gonna sound like a kiss ass, but Bruce Pritchett has a lot to do with this, I think. Oh, I'm sure since taking control of both main shows two years ago. And then, of course, there's other great people working there still.

All right, so what's your. What's your take on Taz's outfit with the. The leather jacket and the leather gloves?

Looks badass to me. Jv, what do you think? I don't. I don't like his cowboy boots, though.

Those kickers you should have, like, Sean Kemp's on.

Yeah.

Look at those things, man.

I think the jacket's badass. The hat works, but.

Yeah.

I want Fonzie with his gloves.

Some shacks on those feet.

Reeboks. Was that what Shaq was wearing at that time?

Yep.

Yeah.

Box Reeboks.

Yeah.

Hey, what's up with Joey's suit?

What the wrong with how baggy his pants are? It's like a poison ivy. Yeah.

Fonzie.

Yeah. Yeah. Long sleeves and gloves.

Yeah. Is it cold out?

I don't know. I don't even think they're outside.

Eczema.

Okay. Yeah, they're in, like, an airplane hangar again. But, yeah, no, I. I do. I do see what you're talking about, Pru, is his pants are baggy. I get a. Yeah, he's practically walking on him like the back at the backs of.

Joey.

Yeah.

Joey.

Yeah. Get your tailored, bro.

Honestly, I think it's just. He needs the bottoms hemmed. Like.

Yeah.

Literally, it just needs to be cuffed. That's it.

It's not anything that's not tailored.

Yeah.

Like, spend the $30.

The jacket. And now that I'm looking at it, the jacket looks like it needs to be taken in a little, too. Yeah.

Does. Yeah. The deck is long as he bought.

A suit off the rack and wore it.

Right?

Yeah.

You want the Burlington Coat Factory?

You want me to woman a trip? No, I'm good.

I'm good. I'll take it.

The all right.

Saus here.

Oh, no, not the elimination.

Oh, total elimination. Just him up by the blue jean crew.

Saturn's growing his hair back.

JCPenney jeans. The hell is this? Lee. Lee Factory. Yeah. What kind of jeans are those? Lee's. Levi's.

Are they Levi? Levi Biggs?

Wranglers.

Wranglers. Yeah. Trying to think what. What kind of. Oh, Bugle Boys.

Yeah, but they got that stonewashed color. Hey, they got matching jeans with Taz. Hey, that's the new crew right there.

Yeah.

Blue Jean crew.

Yep. Saturn's looking thick, man.

Saturn's looking thick. But Cronus is looking nice, like. Yeah, he dropped weight, man.

Yeah, yeah. He's shedding weights. Shedding weight.

Look at definition.

Yep.

Oh, gangsters.

Oh, no.

You know, I'm getting sick of them. I don't want to get in mode. But, hey, he's got jeans on, too.

Does it? Oh, those are jeans. Yeah, but those are probably Jinkos.

No, not yet.

Early Jinkos og Jenko.

I don't think New Jacks weren't Jinko, so.

No. Well, if he did, they fell off the back of the truck. You know, imagine.

Imagine New Jack wearing jingles that has, like, a squirrel on it or something.

Yeah, no Skunk.

Remember those, Rick, though. They had characters and.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I never owned a pair of Jinkos, but, I mean, they were popular enough that I've. I've seen million, not millions, but a ton of kids wearing them, you know?

Oh, yeah.

Jinkos jeans. Your friend can both wear them.

I didn't have, like, the exaggerated huge ones.

You didn't have the. The ones that, like, you. You, JV and me could each put our legs in and wear?

Never had those.

Okay.

But I had them, actually. I had, like, Jenko shorts. Ah, those are pretty cool. Those weren't too bad.

I had, like, poser Jankos, like the. My dad wouldn't buy me.

Oh, there was another brand.

Zones.

Zones, yes.

That's what I mostly had with Zones, because they weren't, like, as obnoxious as Jenko.

Well, those are the ones you could get it like. Like JCPenney or whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I worked at a department store, and not. Our area is called Apex and.

Apex.

Yeah, it was just.

I remember the name. I don't know if I ever went.

There, but it was in Warwick, Swansea and Pawtucket Guy. So we. They sold him there.

Yeah.

And this. This was 99.

Okay.

Oh, what the is Rob Van Dam wearing? He looks like my wife, like, going to bed, like.

Yeah, he's wearing. He's wearing PJ pants.

Which is like. Okay. I like when my wife wears that, but I don't want to that. What the is he doing, though? He's got his gear on with some shitty pants on.

What is that the clown?

Cool.

His clown pants.

He's got his brick singlet on. Then he's wearing skids.

Remember Skids, Bozo?

Oh, hey, it's Balls Mahoney.

Hey, yeah, Balls Mahoney. You guys remember Skids? Speaking of pants and jeans.

Skids.

Skids. You remember Skids? They were, like, what Rob Van Dam was wearing, but on the back, on the ass, the pocket. It was like. Like a street sign showing skids. It was yellow and it was like a skid mark thing.

No, that doesn't sound familiar.

SK I D Z. Skids. Look it up.

It has to have a Z. Yeah, skids.

And they were always like those, like, pajama type pants. They were probably like, I don't know, like 92, 93. Like.

All right, skids pants.

You look like these pants that Robin M. Has on.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Yep. Yeah. Okay, now I'm seeing them. Yeah. Then in fact, I'm pretty sure I just saw some. An old picture of somebody wearing the exact same ones that he's wearing. Yeah, they're maybe not exactly the same, but they're like that checkered kind of design.

I mean, they're all kind of like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like that same color and everything is what I'm talking about.

I guess I'm more maybe in tune to a little bit because my. My sister's five years older than me and she. Yeah, she was into that and her friends like horse kids. So I was just aware, apparently you.

Can still get them.

Really? Oh, really?

Yep. Apparently they still make them original drawstring.

Pants some at Walmart.

I don't know.

That'd be like one of those things that, like, Walmart just purchases. We sell it now.

Yeah, they have the. The baggier ones and then they have sized ones that are like, more fit. And they have shorts, too.

Is Jenko still in business? What's going on here? If I can bring up skids out of nowhere, they're in business.

Yeah, the original Jinko jeans, Apparently. Apparently those are still in existence, too.

Damn. All right, so I don't think we brought up anything going on in this match other than like, shit's happening jeans and whatnot. But this is supposed to be like a Royal Rumble style match where dudes are coming in every minute. It's the King of the Hill match.

Yep. And this, I believe this is the debut of Balls Mahoney.

Right. So the big deal here is we got Balls Mahoney. Who, I mean, most people listen, know at this point who Balls Mahoney is, but he was previously in Smoky Mountain.

Wrestling, still around in 90, in the 90s.

And he was Bradley. He was also Santa Claus for a brief period and at the end of 95 in WWF. To me, he was always like the fake Mick Foley. That should have been his gimmick. Fake.

Man, I'm pretty sure the crowd is chanting, you fat. At. At Paul's Mahoney.

Because they don't know who he is.

Exactly. This guy, he's just a generic. He's just a generic fat dude, basically.

Right? He's the guy that took the place of. Who's the other fucking generic fat guy that just left?

Who? Hack Myers.

Hack Myers? Yeah, yeah, he's the new Hack Myers.

He's.

Yeah, Hack Myers lost to Too cold, right?

Yes.

Lose leavestown, like 30 days or 60 days, whatever it was.

Yeah, one of those things.

Yeah.

It looks like Candido kicked Cebu in the nuts accidentally there.

It's possible. Soaring His. His World's Gym slightly cut off shirt. Like, it's not. It's not a belly shirt cut off, but it's like they cut. He cut the bottom part of it off.

Just too buff for it.

Yeah, well, it also looks like it's like a. Like a triple X or something, you know, big.

That's true.

It is over. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see what you're saying.

So in this match.

Godzilla.

Yeah. Go Godzilla.

Falcon Arrow. And they're counting a pin. Apparently. You don't just have to throw the person over the top rope. You can also pin them.

Yes, I was. That's what I was about to say.

Oh.

In this match, you can. You can pin, submit, or throw over the top.

Like.

Like the final four.

I was gonna say like WCW NWO revenge. When you do the Battle Royals, you can set it to. To do pinfalls and.

Yeah. Alliance. Oh, look at Sabo. He doesn't know what the he's doing. He just bouncing around like a toddler.

Is he coming out to Young and Wasted from kiss?

Sounds like.

Can't hear it. Yeah.

Was it Metallica?

Okay, I thought it was Metallica. I don't know the song.

It's not a Metallica song. Okay, but what song did you say.

By Kids Young and Wasted off of animalized? 1984. The only one that they did with Mark St. John.

Oh, yep.

It's the one after Lick It Up. Oh, that looks. Oh, my God.

Yeah. That just looks like you slipped on his ass.

Yeah.

Like. Yeah, you're all right. You just fell on your ass, man. Oh, here comes the third member of the triple threat.

Triple Threat.

Brian Lee, Chris Candido and the Franchise going against the Jean Boys. Hey, King Kong Bundy.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

Hey, he's. He's wearing skids, too.

Yeah, the matching outfits.

Does Francine have skids on? Francine has skids on, too.

Oh, she.

Yeah, I just. I saw. I. I saw her legs there she's wearing, like, the exact same style ones.

The is going on here.

I don't know, but it's making me want skids.

Skids into her skids.

Yeah, I know. I want to get into her skids.

Kids.

Wow.

We're bringing back skids?

Yeah, they're bringing them back legit. I'm considering buying.

Never had a pair.

They coffee, man. They're like pajama pants. What's cool is the tag on the back.

Okay.

Why the little street sign where it was skids?

Yeah, like skid row?

No, like.

Like a skid mark.

Like slippery when. Not slippery when wet, but like, I. You know, like, your car could skid if the pavement's down.

All right.

Yeah.

Or black ice or whatever. If you saw it, you'd go, oh, yeah, that sign, you know?

You know?

Yeah.

If you look, you remember the skids, man.

Here comes Tommy.

Well, better be with some buell titties. I'm gonna throw the chair and not use it.

Yeah, I'm just gonna launch it up in the air.

I. I like the dynamic of the newly formed Triple threat.

Yep.

Yeah. I just got a glimpse of Francine now, even more so than I said earlier. She definitely looks like she's at a sleepover with her boyfriend wearing the skids in the long big ass T shirt.

He's biting him.

They must have had, like, somebody come backstage early and be like, hey, look at all these pants. Wants to wear these pants to they, like, four of. Yeah, I'll wear this. These are better than Zubaz. These are skids, man.

What do you call what Sabu wears?

That's what I. I was about to say. Sab's like, I got the original.

Those are like. Those are hammer pants. Sheen.

I got the shiny ones.

Yeah. Shiny hammer pants.

Can't touch this.

You can't see my skinny ass legs.

Yeah, exactly. I don't have to do leg day.

That was a. That was a nice double leg by Saturn, though.

Oh, yeah. What the back and forth between Candido and Saturn. There's a brawl going on here. You Devon, Why we got you, d. One chance going on here. What's wrong with him?

Because he's the. The bad Dudley, remember?

Well, I know, but, yeah, everyone's a bunch of dickheads right now.

Oh.

Where the Taz.

Like, Taz. Taz noped out. He wasn't even in the match.

No, I know, but, like, we got all this going on.

I know. 10, 10, 10 minute intro. No. Oh, he's actually just coming right out.

Yeah, I'M not smoking.

He didn't even stop to, you know, crack a beer.

Oh, he's getting up, though. Get tossed over the rope. Oh, that's right.

Oh, that was a wild move.

I'm like, why is Taz not out here? And I'm like, totally forgetting that this is a Royal Rumble style match.

What? What? What? Devon did jv? Is that what you were saying?

Which was Dreamer trying to do to Devon there?

I have no idea. I know Devon. Devon threw, like, a flying, flying forearm.

Yeah. So did you. Did you hear what I was saying before? Like, the one like, Taz isn't out here. It's a Royal Rumble match.

Yeah.

It's not his turn yet. Like, where is he, like, expecting to just run in? Dumbass.

Sammy looks like sober. He never looks.

Yeah, he stopped dying his hair.

And without a white T shirt, he's not as trashy.

Yeah, but he's still got the skull Zubaz on.

Yeah.

Comes Louie body. Donna is at battle.

I'm. I'm surprised you haven't made more comments pro about. About the amount of guys wearing shirts in this match. I know.

Ccw. It's a good call, though. It's a good throwback.

You got Tommy, you got Devon, you got Louie. You had Kurt Candido for most of the match.

If. If we're talking about wwf, I have high standards for Sandman, for dudes not wearing shirts. Dudes wearing shirts.

Yeah.

At this point, it's expected.

Oh, yeah. That wasn't a double team. That was Tommy splashing him and then Sabo dropping a leg.

We got Brian Lee. There's no excuse for Luis Poly wearing a T shirt right now.

No, I get.

I get Devon. He's wearing suspenders and whatnot. He's already thrown out. Finally. He should wear something. Thank you. Don't want to see it. Yeah. Same man again. It goes to my point, like, yeah, you don't have the best physiques in this business. Wear a T shirt. The beach rules don't apply for at the beach. Take your shirt off no matter what.

Right?

Yeah, definitely.

Don't be a weirdo with the shirt in the ocean.

Don't wear it in the ocean. You can wear it on the beach. Don't wear it in the water.

Yeah.

Oh, Stevie with a kick. Oh, hey, Stevie deserves more credit here. He. He defended and lost it and lost it. Oh, I said it again.

You said it again.

Said it again. Defended and lost Ravens title. He deserve more credit. He was a champion. Kinda.

Yeah.

But now he's gonna get up and tossed out. Boom, there you go.

Blue World Order is up.

It's taking over.

They're on, on delay. Out of order.

Sam is out. Sabu wins. And what is this? What does this even mean for Sabu though? I don't remember any stipulation.

Yeah, I don't know if there's.

And we'll see if there's any promos after, but Saba wins the match.

Hey, those were underwhelming.

Not bad.

Wrestler with no shirt on won the match. New Sabo signature T shirt. He doesn't want a T shirt.

Yeah, no kidding.

And they didn't even show it either. All right, so we're gonna show in Downingtown December 27th. Coming up, Raven versus Sandman.

Special world.

Order 1 909-904, ECW. I wonder what prizes you won for ECW trivia. Gonna mail you some bottle caps.

Some tops.

Here's a.

Some ECW.

Here's a, here's a program from the September 28th ECW are show. So. Oh no, not September 28th, 1996. September 28th, 1993. The main, the main event is Johnny Hot Body versus J.T. smith.

Upstate New York comes alive as the Sno Brothers make their ECW debut. The Sandman and Cactus Jack tear down Fort Lauderdale, Florida and each other. It's a barbed wire matchup, plus first time anywhere in its entirety. The now infamous cat fight between Francine.

Was there anything Rick, that you noticed in the, in the notes.

I say I have very brief again observer note that I that I found basically. This is from the. The 23rd, 12-23-96. Observer that the. There was a annual cable convention and WCW and WWF said that they were going to do at least 12 shows each and then whatever ECW and UFC could, could put out. Because at this point UFC was kind of underground because everybody wanted to ban them essentially. And Paul Heyman apparently kept, kept harping on March 30 as being the, the date for the first pay per view. But then the convention paperwork all was saying that it was the 13th of April, but they're not going to get clearance in Canada because of the Tyler Fullington angle. So basically viewers choice isn't going to carry them and viewer's choice is the only way that Canada had pay per View in 1997.

Yep.

Yeah. And apparently it turned as it turned out, they would, they wouldn't actually get on Canada officially until 1999 for pay per view. Oh yeah, yeah.

Now if you was choice, I know that that's Canada. What was Viewers choice in the United States.

Yes.

Okay.

Yes. I believe Viewers choice and Request TV or Request Television were the two big ones. Maybe. Maybe Request TV wasn't the big one. But Canada only had viewers choice.

All right, now the reason why I bring that up is because I know that because my grandparents, like my grandfather, we had the satellite.

Yeah.

That's how I watch a lot of ECW and stuff. And that's how I watch a lot of pay per view movies and just wrestling. Pay per views in general. It was always viewers choice. I'm pretty sure it was always from Canada. Oh, no, I wasn't. So I wasn't sure if like it was actually US Feed or something. I was probably just always watching Canadian feed, I think.

Right. Yeah, that.

That's why I was accessible right through the satellite. And there were like four different channels of viewers choice too.

Yes. Yeah.

That I had.

On the satellite.

Yeah, yeah. And just play constantly. Good memories for sure. It's funny though, like.

Oh yeah.

I used to just sit there and watch like trailers of movies over and over again. Oh, it's Problem Child two coming on next. And then you watch that. And then it come on like three times. Nightmare on Elm Street. Dream Child coming on. You just watch it.

RoboCop 2's on next.

When I was wrestling though, it was always like twice. That's it. You can only watch it live. And then two days later.

Yep. On the replay. Yeah.

Oh, there's. Yeah. L. Tyler.

Yeah.

Tyler Bueller.

Yep. Yep.

What are your kids?

Not yours, it's Tommy's.

Oh, there's other. I have other penises up in here.

Yeah. This puss is.

See what you will about Tommy Dreamer in terms of like his actual in ring work. But I think this, this part, this segment is top notch, you know?

Oh, this is a big time storyline. Yeah.

Yeah.

Jb, what's this song? You're all I need to get by Notorious B.I.G.

Faith, fatal or Mary J. Blige.

Oh, Mary J. Blige. Like sweet morning do think I look at you. You are my destiny. Something like that, right?

Yeah. 1990s music like, like Keith Sweat jams 96.

We Die Together Ride Comedreamer is not giving a. He's eating some pie. He's got a pie face.

Raven here, he already cream pied Buellah. I mean, she's pregnant, so that's kind of how it works.

There we go. Yeah, I guess that's. Yeah, true. That's true. Right?

I have kids. I should know.

Hey, those are the opposite of the skids yeah. Tommy was wearing the opposite pants. That fan had him.

Such a great moment. That. That high incident is.

Yeah.

The match itself isn't good, but I mean, it's. It's a brawl. But that. That last, you know, bump is pretty awesome. Yeah. In the battle of the Bam Bams.

Yeah.

I didn't know.

I was disappointed. I was disappointed that Bam Bam wasn't around that long.

Which. Which Bam Bam Bam Bam Bigelow. Okay. Yeah.

No, in what we covered.

Oh, no.

Because he's coming back.

What year does he die, though?

2000 or something.

2010.

Yeah. He still has a whole run coming up.

I'm gonna. I'm gonna look it up. But yeah, he doesn't. Doesn't die till well after ECW and WCW go out of business. Terry Bam Bam Gordy dies in 2000, I think. 2007. So I was close. Is when Bam Bam Bigelow passes.

I never been a punk but a girl called me Hunk. Yeah. Good lyrics. Side, side. I can't get over this. The new Sabu signature T shirt.

Yeah. Available in extra large and large.

Yeah. Only an extra large and large.

Yeah. If you're fat or if you're a.

Big.

We don't want you.

But no man shook this place up like the franchise.

Shane.

Of course. Shane Douglas came back at the beginning of this year. And pull up. I feel like I like them a lot more earlier, though. His first run.

What, like in 94?

Yeah.

Some more. Some more.

I guess there's just more going on.

Yep.

That takes away from him.

You could play this song for the. The Outro song. More human than human.

That's true. Yeah. Nobody wants to hear me moan. Really? We haven't. This song hasn't come up yet.

I don't think so.

The ECW song?

No, Thunderkiss 65 is the ECW song.

Well, I know that, but this wasn't used at all in any of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let's listen to this wordsmith here.

Pukes.

It is I, your quintessential stud muffin, your patron saint.

Camera needs to calm down for a puke.

With not just another hype central. Not just billboards. Billboards, which don't include my name, I might add, but with company. You see, at interview time, the fans have spoken. And they would rather have a man with style than a man named stuff Styles.

It is with that in mind that.

I relay the information that the entire wrestling world is talking about me. But when they take a break, they are buzzing about the upcoming title Defense between the invader of McGillicuddy, Tommy Dreamer.

And his opponent, the invader of MC.

I would like to be that fever.

For the flavor to wear the fruit of the ECW foundation around his waist. Ladies and gentlemen, the Franchise.

Oh. Oh.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am that finally somebody, the golden tongue of ecw, has invited me in front of the ECW banner. Suddenly that Joe Garter wannabe Joey Styles didn't have the guts to do. You see, Joel Gertner, it gives me great pleasure to sit out here with the head cheer. Come on in here, sweetheart, and use this forum, ECW's time monopolizing it to get my point across. You've got a question for me?

Indeed I do.

Crossed.

We all know that you are the ECW television champion of the world. But aside from all that, you are also at the top of the eclipse.

Show of hands, does Shane Douglas ever cheated on his wife, the bank, Francine?

Yes, absolutely.

How could you not? Oh, plus, he's the best guy in the world.

That you think is all there.

No way. He didn't her stop trying to use.

The force vcw to get across the point that you think is all about Tommy Dreamer.

You see, Tommy Dreamer or at least get a blowjob, something.

Yeah, I mean, his. Is that news or. If they didn't hook up, then I got to say no.

But.

If they both claim they have it, then I have to believe it.

I don't. I've never read anything one way or the other saying specifically, no, we never hooked up or yes, we did, they.

Kind of just don't say anything about it.

Yeah. And I think that it's kind of one of those things that their silence almost like makes you think they. They did hook up even more, you know, like the fact that they didn't come out specifically to say that. No, we didn't. But I don't know.

Hey. Oh, there's a chain. Shane's got the chain. The match in 93. Holiday hell.

93.

She's holding the belt, but she's. She's no woman champion.

Oh, right. Shane's the champ because Shane's a champ.

Right.

Always looked up to somebody that they wanted.

Sandman was champ because.

Because one was the champ.

The legend. Oh, it was a legend all right. But it wasn't Terry Funk. It was the man that wears the black and gold. The franchise. It started three and a half long years ago, Tommy. It started so long ago. And it's come full circle. You see this very chain. Oh, you and your face are quite.

That's great. I like a full circle type that they're bringing. See?

Tommy Dreamer. You can take that penthouse pig of yours and try to exchange her in for my penthouse princess. You can take all the gold chains that you wear around your neck and all the golden diamonds.

Rick, Buella, Francine, Davey.

But Francine's really starting to change that.

Yeah, man.

Yeah. I'm all. I'm Buell, too. But I love Francine.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't. I don't think it's any spoiler that Francine sticks around towards the end. To the end. Beulah goes away at some point.

Unfortunately, I turned like, as of doing this. I was always Francine, but going through this, like, I didn't appreciate y'all. Now she's my top. She's my head cheerleader. Well, she's not my cheerleader, but she's. I got her head on my mind.

Yeah.

There's one. You've got to beat the man they call franchise.

Yeah. That's cute. That's the thing with Bu and Francine. They both seem. They're both hot, but they both seem like girls that we would know.

Yes.

Yeah.

I mean, it's like they're not out of this world.

No.

Like the hot chicks that we could know.

Yeah, they're definitely like the. The. Like, I said, girl next door.
