You saw you just looked at this guy's schedule, right?

Yeah, it was like, it's like the end of July. It's when we're recording it.

Yeah. So it's still a while away but hey, we're building up to it.

What the is that? How many years have you guys been doing the Bottom Line cast? Seriously, has it been. Did you like, did you do say like seven, you know, six. This is the sixth annual. So is this like the seventh year and you just obviously didn't do do one the very first year or.

No, our first One was in 2019. The first.

When did we start the podcast? What year?

September 2018.

2018. Okay, okay.

Why do. Why do I feel like I was listening?

There were 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 6.

Yeah, okay. But you start. You started it in 2018.

Yeah, first episode was September 2018.

Okay. For some reason I must be like the Mandela effect or something. I don't know. I swear, like, I remember listening to you guys doing the. The show like when one. When my second kid was born and that was 2016, so.

Oh, you thought we were older than we are.

Yeah, well, that's why I'm like thinking, you know, but again, I could be wrong. Maybe, you know, all the. Unless you were listening, you know, unless.

You were listening to the Hurricane Rana wrestling podcast.

Maybe. I don't know.

Jv, Mike, Pru.

It could be.

Oh, yeah, there's episodes out there.

Yeah, there is.

And they're still on YouTube video episodes of Hurricane Ronald wrestling podcast with us on there talking about from 2016.

Ah.

Oh, yeah.

We used to talk current events.

Yeah, it was all current event.

Oh, like. Like local stuff or the. No, the big leagues cover everything. Yeah, okay. Like Ring of Honor, tnn, TNA or Impact or whatever it was at that point.

Yeah, wwf.

Yeah.

It was basically everything.

Oh, nice.

The. The actual episodes are not available anymore because no one's paying to have them out there anymore.

Right.

If I had access, I would pay to have them out there, but they're not out there.

Yeah, but like I said, There are.

Some YouTube episodes out there where you can see us in the flesh. You can see a younger me in better shape. Anyway, I'm trying to get back to that shape again. And by the way, anyway, Rick's like Yeah, good try.

Well, no, no, no. I'm sitting here going, man, I'm balding. You know, when I was in 2016, I had more hair. I. I've got a gut. So I'm like, yep, I know. I want to get back to my 2016 week, too. You're at least going to the gym. I'm not.

All right, so let's get back on track here. So, yeah, check us out. Check us out, wherever you can find us. We're all over the place. But, Rick, you got a podcast.

Yes, I do.

That's on cast. Talk about it. You got some updates?

Yeah, well, as of this recording, it's not out yet, episode four, but I will be getting it posted before this is heard by the lovely patrons. And on episode four, I decided to kind of bypass. Not bypass, but take a detour, I guess is probably the best way to put it. And instead of continuing on with what I was doing, I jumped straight back into the history of Japanese pro wrestling, specifically Ricky Dozan and Kimura's match in 1950. I just did this. 1952, I think it was the 50s, we'll say, and how that kind of led to shoot style. So you get a little bit of a background. And then episode five, when I get done researching it, we'll be talking about the career, the early careers of Antonio Inoki and Giant Baba because they were trained by Ricky Dozan and kind of talk about their careers early and how they splintered off and. Well, we'll eventually get back to, you know, the 80s and 90s, but that's a. A little ways off because I want to go, you know, fairly in depth with. With, you know, the topic and not just kind of glaze over everything.

Those are names I know.

Yeah, you. You might know. You, you know, you probably know Kimura if you know any mixed martial arts, because they named a move after him.

Oh, yeah, the Kimura.

The Kimura. Because. And this is a slight spoiler for episode four. He did that in a fairly well known fight and broke the guy's arm twice because the guy wouldn't give up.

Wasn't that Brock Lesnar's finisher?

Yeah, he does. He does. He does do the Kimura. Yes.

That's wild. Yeah, that's like a big part of.

Is it lock often or.

I mean, and you.

In mma, I think they just say the Kimura.

Yeah, they just say Kimura, but I mean, you could say it's a Kimura lock, because it is. I mean, it's an arm lock, you know, you, you've got it locked, the guy's arms locked in your grip. So it does, you know, kind of both ways. Fits.

Yeah.

The triangle lock. Or is it.

No, it is basically you chicken wing the guy's arm behind. Okay, behind him, but you then put your other arm through it, grab your wrist and you just pull up. So you're like basically bending his, his arm and shoulder back. And you also are kind of, you know, trying to hyper extend his elbow or whatever, I don't know, all the bones and the arm. But basically, basically, if you keep, if you keep doing it, you're going to separate the guy's shoulder, you're going to snap, snap part of his, his arm in half, which happened like I say, twice. Twice. Because the guy wouldn't give up after his arm got broke the first time.

Yeah, well, that's what they say. You, you fucking tap. Give up.

Yep.

Or suffer the consequences.

Uh huh. Yep. And Kimura was going for, to break it for a third time until the guys corner through the towel. And so you got lucky. And actually I, I keep saying the guy, I should just say it's Helio Gracie. I mean.

Yeah, yeah. Building suspense.

Yeah. Helio Gracie. I go into the whole backstory of what happened and how, how it kind of came, the fight came to be and everything as well.

So was this thing like, was this the throwback episode that you were building up couple weeks ago?

Yeah. Yeah.

So the prequel episode. Kind of.

Yeah. Because the first, the first three episodes were me just kind of covering the first three events of pancreas in 1993. But the fourth one, I mean, I'll do it eventually, but it was just getting to be like, all right, I'm going through the fourth. And it's like, all right, they're, they're rolling on the ground. All right, one of them got kicked. Okay. Whereas with this, I kind of did more like a quality control center, you know?

Yes.

Where I talk recommended.

That's what I recommended.

So I took your, your advice and I think it, I think it works a lot better. There is a watch along at the end, but it's, you know, a 10 minute clip or something. It's not, you know, it's not an hour of me sitting trying to find interesting things to talk about.

I'm looking forward to that one. That one sounds great.

Thanks.

And everybody should be checking it out. The Rick's putting in hard work hybrid wrestling cast. Check it out.

Yes, sir.

All right, here we go. Three, two, one, play.

Yeah. Look at this. It's like VFW karaoke.

Jv, you have great experience as a karaoke judge.

I'm the most experienced carryover. Can you speak on that In. In New England?

Speak on that, brother.

There's really nothing to say. It's a pretty depressing environment.

Opening of ECW right here. Come on, give us some stories. No rules.

Well, like, there's some bad ones, but like, the karaoke culture, people that are about that life and do it all the time, no offense to them, it's not for me, but it's a weird crowd. It's a lot of alcoholics, a lot of drinking. It's drug filled. It gets contentious. There's accusations of cheating, drugs, judges screaming.

I'm, I'm laughing because I am one of those people that did karaoke kind of sort of for like a year. And I'm having flashbacks. Like, yup, there's that drunk dude at the bar that's hitting on women that are like half his age.

Yep.

You know, there's the people that are clearly coming, coming there just to do drugs in the bathroom. I. I totally know exactly all the. What you're talking about, jv.

Then you got the people that are just like, they're drinking water, like, just trying to win the fucking contest. And it's like, I think they think in their head they're like in a Disney movie, like, I'm gonna win this karaoke contest, right?

They think they're gonna be next big star Hollywood.

They're gonna sign me. It's like, you're singing a cover of Rock Band Is this love that I'm.

Looking for Is this the way the worst?

Because it's always. It's. It's like so many songs that are just karaoke songs. You hear like, eight different people singing.

Yeah. Live.

Yup, yup.

Oh, really?

That's.

That's.

Oh, yeah, it is.

Oh, what? Four non blondes. What's up? There's always that. And. Pardon me. There's always that one fat chick that decides that she's gonna do it and just yells the whole song, you know.

In the Carrie Underwood song.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Until he cheats.

Yeah.

Y. Yep. What the. You guys.

Bro, I judged for, like, 14 years.

How did I.

Man, I hit a. I hit a topic on this one.

Yeah, well, like I said, I used. I used to go do karaoke for. I. I say a year. It might have been a little longer.

Than that, but, you know, I would get so drunk. Because we could drink for free if you judged. Oh, get so drunk.

And I don't. I'm not asking you to name names, jv, but what kind of establishments were you judging at? Was it all just bars? Okay. It wasn't. Okay.

Oh, you have. Really?

Yeah.

Travel and judge.

I mean, there are other places in the area that do it too.

I used. I used to do it at a Chinese restaurant.

Yeah.

Every Saturday. Every Saturday night.

What's the Chinese restaurant in Westport? They do it.

The Oriental Pearl. Oriental Pearl, Yeah.

Yeah.

You did that place, too?

Yeah. No, no, no. I've been there and seen it there before.

Oh, yeah.

But they. Asian culture loves karaoke.

Everybody is working for the weekend. Yeah. That's one.

That's one. Not really, to be honest. That's what you would say?

Yes, I would.

You know.

You know my songs. JB song that I would sing.

What? Zombie?

What song you would sing? Yeah, some obscure rap song from the 90s on Amber to try singing it.

Yeah, you're right. It was all a dream. I used to read Word Up Magazine.

Jv, did you say too. Or you're.

Or you're playing Taking Back Sunday?

Did you say too short? Yeah, Cuss words.

Oh, too short.

Was that the name of the album?

No, no, no. I don't know what the. I don't know what the album is, but he has this song, Cuss Words, and one of. One of the lyrics he's talking about, I hung out with Ronald Reagan, and I'm not. I'm not doing this. You know, I'm not gonna rap it. I don't know the words, but he's basically Saying I hung out with Ronald Reagan. And I asked him, how are you living in the White House if you're not selling cocaine? Talk to your wife. She'll spit that game. And then he talks about Nancy Reagan coming over and sucking his dick. It's amazing because it makes. It has nothing to do with the song. It's just he took time out of his day to rip on Nancy Reagan.

He's like, I like this old presidential lady. Suck my dick and tell.

Exactly.

Rap song.

That'S gonna bother me now. But it's basically something like she. She sucked my dick like it was corn on the cob or something like that.

It's like she bite it from the side.

Exactly. Now you can make me look the.

Lyrics up like two shots eating corn the long way.

You know what we missed? The whole opening match was the gangsters versus Tommy Rich and Ricky Moore. The gangsters won, right? I think that's what happened.

Yeah.

But now this is gonna lead to a match where Ricky Moore versus Tommy Rich. Oh, we're getting some promos here at the cyo. The CEO? No, the cyc. Cyl. Catholic Christian Catholic Youth Center. Catholic Youth Organizations.

Did you guys used to have CYO dances every month?

Yes.

Yeah, I didn't go to them, though.

I went to one or two, but.

We had Boys Club dances. Usually that's what we'd go to.

Oh, there you go.

Boys and Girls Club Care home in.

A plastic bag for all week.

No one called it Boys and Girls Club. No.

All right, I. I found the lyrics.

All right.

Rip it. Okay, so I'll go back a little bit. And he said. He says, ronald Reagan came up to me and said, do you have the answer to the US Economy and a cure for cancer? I said, what are you doing in the White House if you not selling cocaine? Ask your wife, Nancy Reagan. I know she'll spit that game. One night, she came to my house and gave me a blowjob. She licked my dick up and down like it was corn on the cob. Yeah, I think the opening lyrics are better.

Oh, okay. Oh, sorry. Continue.

I mean, what is life? Life is too short. I play the. Like it's a sport. Y'all play the. Just like y'all. Like Dr. J played basketball. You can call me, too. Don't say it twice. You'll get me mad. And I'll. Your wife.

Oh, it's.

It's such a good song. Ah.

I have a better lyric for the end. Instead of a. Your wife, it should. Should have been I'll. Your Face.

Yeah.

Based on the previous lyrics. Hey, hey. It's fine though. Can't. Can't on too short. He's the nastiest rapper ever.

Yeah, he is.

Second place would be Slick Rick.

Yeah.

I give Slick Rick more credit though, because he actually rhymed and a little bit better.

Yeah, but too short.

What was it? Oh, what Was that song? JV Too Short. It's like i2 at the same time or something like that.

Oh, yeah. I don't remember the name of the song, but I remember that. That hook. Well, the start of the song, I think that's it.

Two at the same time. Yeah, if that's the real song, that's going to be one of our songs on this episode. Two bitches at the same time.

Yeah, you gotta play that. Meanwhile, you got Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich are in a fight right now, possibly over cocaine.

Let's call two.

Just call two. Okay.

All right, I'm gonna do a little lyrics right here. Oh, I don't know if I can read this. Too many explicits. All right.

Anyway, dude, I just. I just talked about Nancy Reagan sucking somebody's dick and living it like it's corn on the cob.

Oh, I got n words so I can't. Oh, you do?

Okay.

Please don't say those pimp ends don't pay a dime I'm two at the same time Then I hit the studio and I write a rhyme I call a tramp hose ain't hard to find i2 to a hotel I told them both you know you won't tell curiosity kill the cat you're gonna lick the while I hit it from the back. Don't be stingy girl lick my balls too. He was walking big when I called you you said you never another girl before and you wanted to help me so I took you to down to the strip club. I told you look around who do you want to. You pick? Thick chocolate, big booty, big tits. I told you you could have this big dick. All right, we're gonna play the song.

And you're right, Slick Rick did rhyme a lot better than.

Yeah, Too short was all about griminess. We did.

We wanted the answer to the question.

Cuz that two at the same time. I bought that album. You remember, right?

That's why I said too short.

That was in my like CD case in my bedroom.

Yes, it was too.

Sure. It was a double disc.

I don't remember that much detail.

Oh, it was right next to my dreamcast.

I'm not gonna call you a liar.

I Had dreamcast.

I had a dreamcast.

You had Dreamcast too.

I did. I did.

Can I help you? Oh, what's your problem, dude?

Who is this guy? You need some assistance?

Johnny Baloney. The out of here with his tight red pajama pants on.

He looks like somebody's uncle.

Hey, they can't clear out the path between slobs.

Get back here.

Get back here. You want to interview? Hey, you already told me to off. So you. All right, so more commercials here. November tourism 96. All right, I guess this means let's take a look at what's going on in the house show results. We're coming off of House House Party 97, which was January 11, 1997 at the ECW Arena. Should we run through these results?

Yeah. All right.

We got Chris Candido pinning Louis Coley. Mikey Whipreck defeated Spike Dudley. We had a tag team championship match. Eliminators defeated Axel Rotten. Devon Dudley after a total elimination. Gotta order a new T shirt there. The gangsters defeated Tommy Rich and Ricky Martin, which you just saw, which led to Tommy Rich against Ricky Morton. So. Oh, by the way, see what we got going on.

I did find out what that dialing noise is from.

Oh, what is it?

Okay, so it's basically on the original tapes. They would put those in to let the. The network know when to put a local commercial. But because this is obviously almost like an infomercial and almost like an infomercial where Paulie was just paying for the time. They just show up. But there was no necessarily, like local commercial going in there. Yeah, it also has to do with. If you watch an old, like VHS tape, like you bought a movie, you hear it in the beginning. It has to do with syncing up the. The master reel to the recorders. So it's. It's just an annoying noise at this point, but it actually does serve a purpose. It's. And it's not to go call now people are dialing.

Yeah, that's a good point. That makes sense.

You just came clean about the whole thing. You do have a severe shoulder injury.

Just like that.

You do have a severe shoulder injury.

One little news.

He ain't. No.

I heard it about three years ago. I heard it right before, right when I got into ec.

I want that pullover.

Years old in a judo tournament. It's an old injury. It's just an old injury that acts up once in a while. I'm a high competitive athlete. This happens. I don't sit home drinking beer.

Well, yourself, Taz, now you do now.

You do not just on the weekends.

Every day now that you're 52 years old or whatever. Yeah.

And is indeed an old injury.

And.

And not an injury you suffered against Rob Van Dam. Why do you hate Van Damme so much? Why are you so angry at Van Dam?

So now they're building up Van Dam and Taz. Doesn't make sense.

I don't like him.

Two.

He's a pretty boy. Johnny come lately trying to wrestle in my house. Trying to make a name in my house.

Guys, you don't have a championship in your name. So do something first.

Yeah. A lot of confidence for GU doesn't have that type of resume.

Rob Van Dam was in wcw. Job in wwf. What have you done, Taz?

He was tag champion. He wrestled Tommy Dreamer, various New England independents in front of 50 people. He got his neck broken in Florida.

Who doesn't break that neck in Florida?

Exactly.

I love the confidence, Taz.

I love it.

Thank you for allowing us uninvited into your dojo.

And next week we look forward to seeing you demonstrate yourself.

Dojo fun.

Dojo.

Don't you ever, ever come here uninvited again. I swear, as God's my witness. Stop.

Sorry. I hate talking shitty about Taz because I love you, Taz. You're my favorite. And. And Shane. Ah.

Doesn't know who his favorite is.

I don't.

Doesn't know the definition of favorite.

Shut up, J. All right. My favorite's tits.

Do you like Paul?

Hey. See. Hey. What? I'm gonna give a special shout out. Frank Gals was hanging out with Francine today. Yeah.

Where'd he go? To convention.

Yeah.

Where was it?

I don't know where it was. It was a little Suffolk with. Suffolk. Suffolk is Suffolk, Mass.

Like Suffolk County.

It was. It was in a gym. It must have been Suffolk University because they had like banners hanging and it was called the Big Event. Big show was there.

Yeah. Suffolk University is in Boston.

Tommy Dreamer. So I saw a bunch of pictures. He was. He saw C.J. formerly known as Banging Chick.

Yeah.

Yeah. Lana.

I love how JV goes. Lana. And you go with the banging chick.

Formerly known as the Banging Chick.

Yeah. All right. Her and Rusev. Miro, whatever. They're. They split. From what?

Yeah, of course.

Or for him alive as the brothers.

I guess for him.

Well, I mean, you don't know. Actually. You don't know what happened. So.

As hot as a chicken be if they're crazy. Them. Well, them. But then them. Right?

Right.

Nobody's is enough to keep taking up Cut a man.

Yeah. Shout. Shout out to Frank, who I've never met. Good on you, man. Hopefully. Francine was really nice to you.

A slug out.

This is the Middletown, New York show. December 19, 1996.

This is like a month ago, Massachusetts.

Oh, this was awesome. Last. We covered this last episode. Yeah, the town hall and Lester. The brawl.

Yeah. They left blood on the wall.

Y people have to work there that week opening up the new year.

These guys were bleeding the Webster.

Hal Webster.

That place a dump. Know my grandfather went there for elementary school.

Used to be in elementary school. Yeah, that kind of thing.

What. What's funny is that all the people that are listening that are not from this area don't know how true that actually is. That conversation has gone on.

Yep.

Are you gonna call me down the streak? Am I Suboxone, dude.

I know it. I know a guy that sounds exactly like that. That is so funny.

So what the. All right, so Rick, you. You check the notes?

Yeah.

This is the one match where I'm like, I don't know where this match is from.

I mean, that's the arena.

No, it's ECW Arena.

Yeah, I have no idea when.

Yeah, I. There was no ECW arena show at this time that lined up with when this match was, so. And there was no big show.

Right.

Unless this is that holiday hell. I mean, house party. Yeah, it must be a house party. Well, I didn't see it listed as a match.

All right, let me see if I can.

Maybe it's a house. That would make the most sense.

I mean, it would. But at the same time, like you said, you didn't see a list as a match, so.

Damn. What a left hand. That was a great sell by Raven on that left hand.

I'm. I'm feeling like he didn't have to sell it as much because I feel like Sandman just punched him in the head as far as he could.

Sandman's hair sucks tonight. Yeah.

Oh, my God. He looks like a cartoon character with that hair.

Yeah.

Like a wig. The wig. Now, I'm pretty sure I've brought this up before, and I don't think you guys have watched this show, but it's a cartoon show, popular show. It's been around for like 12 years. It's Bob's Burgers.

Oh.

And Sandman looks like a cartoon character from that show. Like he would immediately fit in as a cartoon character in Bob's Burgers. A hairstyle, you know, like there's Simpsonize me. Turn me into a Simpsons character. Yeah. Sandman is the perfect person to just turn. Turn me into a Bob's Burger character. That's the same man.

He could be a beef. He looks like Mike Judge could draw him too.

That too.

Yeah.

I mean, I like, maybe it just has that look. Well, that's the voice, definitely. Jamie, you can do the voice. Like Sandman is like Butthead's stepfather.

Yeah.

So I'm the Sandman.

Hey boys, get the up. You just watch TV all day. The out of there. Play some place. Baseball, something.

Looks nothing like a wrestler. He looks like a guy that's just like, you want to make 50 bucks tonight? And it's every night he just shows up. Yeah, he forgets.

Yeah. You know why I'm the champion? I'm the champion because I'm here every night.

I could picture him like, but I've never wrestled before because he's got so many concussions.

Like.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's try your best. You suplex the table on him. Just hit him with it. Gonna be fancy with the.

Oh, that's, that's one of his go to's though. Jamie, remember that when he just started flipping those tables over. I think he started that time that when Steve Austin was around.

They've been calling this a couple years before that. Suplex this.

Yeah, we, well, no, we called it that. He was suplexing tables. Just take the table and like toss it on somebody. Like he was suplexing.

He does it in the guard rail and the ladder too, at some point.

Yeah. Yep. Rick, any. Anything on that?

No, because I, I looked up. They, they didn't. They did have an ECW show on the 17th, which obviously wouldn't be for this because this was aired on the 14th.

Right.

And other than that, before, before House Party, there was no show after, like after Holiday Hell or whatever.

Yeah, they just had the brawl at Webster. That's it.

Yeah.

So I don't know where the this falls.

Unless this is. Unless this is from House Party. And they just don't list it because it's not a match.

Oh, this is. Oh, it's not. Sanction match. No ref.

Well, there's no ref. Yeah.

Oh, so yeah, that's probably what it is.

Yeah.

Just another brawl.

Like Webster.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, just another brawl.

It's just another night.

Hey, that's one of the shows. Yeah, just another night.

There's a boot right to the ear.

Boot to the ear.

This is the ecw. Look at these. Not standing up in the front row. What are these? Taurus? Get the up you're seeing Sandman versus Raven. You guys are giving golf claps. The out of here. Get up. Got fake peaches in the front row.

Yeah.

Or napping. Shitty hair.

Yeah.

Man, how could anybody. A girl with haircut like that?

I don't know, like what haircut? The lady in the stance.

Yeah. You gotta throw in the shower first and get that wet.

She sings that Pat Benatar karaoke.

All right. True.

Yes.

So you know on. On the BTT main show, Harper's special, his superpower is being able to tell you what somebody drives.

Yeah.

Is what karaoke song they say.

Not only is it what kind of car, but what does it smell like? So.

Yes. What does it smell like?

So we got to add. We got to add a little function to JV's gimmick.

And what. What song do they sing? And what. What are they drinking while.

What do they drink? Yes, that's what I was going to say.

Usually beer. They're usually beer people.

Oh, that's you on tv.

Beer people. People do karaoke because they drink like they can't afford to drink. Like 20.

If you go to the bar every.

Night, you can't afford to drink mixed drinks. You're like a draft beer. What's the special?

What's on tap?

Yeah. Oh, two dollar Millers. Miller highlights. Give me two of them. I'll be back.

Yeah, yeah.

My favorite when they're their break in the interlude of the song and they like take a sip of the drink.

Oh, yeah, that's a big spot. So we got BWO in the ring and Raven's confronting Stevie. Stevie went to give a super kick to Raven, but Raven got out of the way and super kick Sandman down to the mat. They got beef, they got beats. Yeah. Stevie Rich is breaking out and we've been looking forward to this for a while. Right, guys?

Yeah.

Stevie's awesome.

Yeah.

You know, in hindsight, Stevie's as. I don't know, it's so tough to say sometimes. Like, Stevie's better than Raven. And people like that are just listening randomly out of context. Might be like, what the you talking about?

But.

There'S a good argument for Stevie being better than Raven.

He is better than Raven. A wrestler.

Not only just wrestler in general, but even within the ECW storyline, he's better.

Yeah. I mean, Raven got booked better.

I even got booked better. But Raven always gets beat and loses. And yeah, I, I like, Stevie saved his ass so many times. Like, Stevie's like the underrated big star here. And look at that, he tosses Sandman a bwo.

Yeah, his belly shirt.

He's gonna choke Raven with it. Oh, Rick, I want your opinion on my mumblings and bumblings about Stevie in all this, because Jimmy and I have said it for a while, but what do you think?

I think Stevie's a very much an underrated in general, an underrated wrestler. He's. He kind of has that stigma that he's a goofball because of a lot of the, you know, the VWO and all the other stuff beforehand. But he's. Not only is he competent, but, like, he can. He can, you know, go. He's a main event guy. And not just because I know what. What's gonna happen in the next couple of months with him. He's a. He's a main event guy. I feel like he. He doesn't get as much credit as he. He should.

Yeah.

And he's definitely better than Raven in terms of, like, he doesn't about stuff, you know? Yeah, he. He's. I. I don't even. I just. I know what I'm trying to say. It's just he's. He's better than Raven.

All right, I'll. I'll try to get more into that, but we got a good spot going here right now. Sandman has Raven tied in the ropes. Nailing them. Nailing with the candlestick. Oh, what the. What the. It's not called the candlestick here. What the is it called?

The Singapore King.

Singapore. Oh, wailing on him. Beating the. Out of Raven. Pulling his hair back. It's total control of Raven now. What happened to Peaches in his and his son. Is that all gone? Like, because this would be the time. Deal with this.

Yeah, I think. I think that, like, I think they're done.

Yeah.

You know, feud's over.

Yeah, it's pretty much all done. Raven's tied up. He's a chump. Now Bob's Burger. Sandman's got the belt in his hand and his hair's all up. That does not look like real blonde hair.

No.

Which makes sense because he probably was never blonde, but that looks like highlight blonde.

That's like. Like, it's like Calvin and Hobbs.

Yeah, Like, I got through the character. That's probably. I was thinking about Bob's Burgers because.

All night.

And Raven's up, tied in the ropes. So, Rick, the thing you said, though, with Stevie Richards, like, it seems obvious later that he becomes a big star. Yeah, that makes sense because he does get thrown into the main event scene. So that made me reconsider, like. Yeah. Watching now I understand why you got to that point. At this point now I'm realizing that whereas when I was younger, I didn't get it. He just seemed like a goof, and then all of a sudden, he was there. Now I'm actually appreciating what he did to get there.

Totally. Yeah. I mean, we. I. I say we because obviously I've been watching this along with you guys even before I was on the show with you. We've seen, you know, Steve Richards come in and just be kind of a generic, you know, skinny dude. And then he joins up with Raven and he's, you know, I'm gonna. I'm gonna bring the real Scotty Flamingo, the real Johnny Polo to ecw. And then he brings in Beulah and all this. And he's a. He's a goofball, but he just evolves over time. Yeah. And he's. He's a good wrestler, you know, he just kind of had to develop, basically. And now. Now he's at a point in his career where he doesn't need to be the underling or the, you know, the crony. He's now able to be his own. His own man. You know.

Raven's laid out there and he's embarrassed.

Meanwhile, the crowd's singing along.

Yep. Often Never Never Land. All right, this will be my off to bathroom time. I'll be right back.

All right. You ever have anybody do Metallica for karaoke? Jv?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

We had. We had one guy that I was kind of friends with. Like, you know, I wasn't friends with him other than I saw him every week at karaoke. But at towards the end of the night, he'd always do Slayer. And it would clear the bar out to the point where the. The DJ would, like, if he. If they needed to clear it out, like, getting close to, you know, last call or whatever, he'd let. He let the. I forget the guy's name. I can picture him. But they. He'd let him do. Do Slayer, and people would start to leave, you know.

Yeah. See a lot of Metallica.

I don't know.

They were probably, like, the biggest. Like, hard rock, like that.

Yeah.

AC dc, which was always terrible.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember people used to do a lot of, like, you know, Bon Jovi, or occasionally you get somebody that wanted to do, like, Aerosmith or whatever. But.

Will it be the end? Is it the end? They must get back together at some point.

I wouldn't bet on that because, I mean, no spoilers. Realistically, it's kind of known. But Raven's not. Not long for ecw. He's going to WCW soon.

He comes back, though, right?

Yes, yes, he does, but he goes to. He goes to WCW for. For a little while. So doesn't Stevie, actually. But Stevie. Stevie doesn't last very long. Buy the shirt.

That's me. I'm back. That wasn't Stevie. Did I miss anything?

Now, I asked JV if anybody had ever done Metallica doing karaoke, and he.

Was like, oh, yeah, of course.

And then I brought up this guy that used to do Slayer and they would. They'd have him do it so it would clear the bar out. Seasons in the Abyss, if I remember correctly.

And we're gonna spill the beans tonight on the ecw.

Rick, baby, what's your thoughts on Paul E. Making the hall of Fame this year?

I. I think it. It makes sense because they're in Philadelphia this year for wrestling and they're. They're running out of people to put in, you know, that. That means something. There's plenty. There's plenty of people. But like, you. You're never going to get the Blue Meanie or Nova in the WWE hall of Fame, you know, and you're not going to get Raven because there's such a issue with Raven and wwe. So I. I shouldn't say never, but, like, it. It's. He's not a top runner, but Paulie, I mean.

All right, so they're going. They're going with Philly, right? Yeah, that's the thing.

Yeah.

And I get that. I totally agree. All right, it's Philly, Paul Heyman. But the fact that he's still in the main storyline, that's. That's strange to me.

True.

I. I'll give you that, because now it's like.

I thought that was a little strange.

Too, because is he.

He's so big. It doesn't matter, I guess.

Yeah. Or like. Or does his role mean nothing at this point? And it's just like he's not a factor anymore in the storyline.

He's kind of not. He's taking a back seat vocally.

Yeah. Because the Rock. All right, so this is all recap we're seeing right here.

Right. Maybe he turns on the Rock and gets a big cheers.

That's what we thought a couple years ago. So many things that could happen, which is great. That's what's exciting.

Yeah, it's great.

It's been a while since there's been what's gonna happen. A lot of people, like, I think to know. Like to think that they know what's gonna happen, but there's so many variables.

Better than I hope. But I did call we were gonna get Heal, like, legit Heel Rock. All right.

But.

Yeah, but I called it.

Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna get Heel Rock, but I feel like it's gonna end up being Baby Face Rock in the end.

And JV called it. He's gonna feel. Nah, he is. Of course that's. He'll end up being good at the end. Be a good guy. The Rock's a good guy.

He's a good guy.

A good guy. Just talk about him running for president for the past, like, four years.

Even had a TV show where he was the president, talking about his life.

He's telling Cody Rhodes he should have been an abortion, which is wild because he was gonna run for president and hold that against him.

Yeah.

Did you see. Did you see Cody's big thing about, like, oh, I. I want to present my mom with the world. The universal title. And Rock's like, I'm gonna present her with. With my weight belt. Covered in your blood.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was like, that was awesome.

Yeah, I don't give a. About your mom. I'm gonna give her. I'm gonna give her your blood. It's awesome. That's what wrestling should be. I mean, not. Not blood, but, you know, it. It should. Personal issues. Draw money.

It's so funny how people like, oh, my God, I can't believe the Rock said that. Hey, have you ever watched wrestling? You know who the Rock is? That's his character.

I haven't heard who said, they can't believe he said that.

No, that's. I didn't just make it up.

No, people have been saying it because especially, like, it's like, people that just.

Know the Rock for being a movie star think that, like what, like, huh, he's the Rock. They think he's like a movie star, not a wrestler.

It's not.

It.

The people. The people that did not watch him 23 years ago or 25 years ago. Jesus. 25 years ago. Threatening to put stuff up people's asses. You know, they can't believe he talks like that. Kevin. Kevin Kelly, a hermaphrodite.

This. Those people that complaining probably still wear masks in their car.

I don't care. Yeah, that's a joke.

No, it's a joke.

No, I mean, wearing a mask in your car. That's joke.

Yeah.

So I'm on board.

Yeah.

Yeah.

At this point. Come on.

I don't really care if people do. I have my own my constitutional rights to make fun of you. I make fun of everything.

Only two men know who that first TV kick was really meant for.

If people listen to this, they know.

Including every fan at the ECW Arena. Is that a second? Second Stevie kick caught Raven right in the mouth.

This a nice Stevie kick too.

Oh yeah. This wonder Raven like.

Yeah, this is one of his better ones.

Yeah, this was great. Oh, that was intentional. Stevie meant the kick.

Raven looks like he couldn't have hit him any better from at least angle we just saw.

Here's the other angle.

Clean. I think they're just the perfect height of with one another to get the perfect kick.

Yeah, because Stevie's just a little bit taller than Raven.

Yeah.

Sandman pockets out poor wearing his what?

What sneakers is he wearing? The Sean Kemps.

I think those are the champions.

Those are the camps. Okay. With his. His skull Zubazi.

Yes. He must have like five pair.

He's got him.

Some of those get ripped.

He put his pocket back in. That's hilarious. He's self conscious enough to put this pocket back in. He just got kicked in the face.

Oh no, the stud muffin. Let's hear what this flubby man has to say on a more serious tone.

By reading to you a poem.

What poem?

Written from the bottom of my heart. Roses are red, violets are blue. You can't look like me because I'm better than you.

Sucked.

That one wasn't good.

It's come to my attention and I've been informed that there has been a recent request regarding a particular gorgeous guest.

That you'd like to see me interview on Hype Central.

This guest, apparently according to all of you, has luscious lips, piercing eyes and the people have spoken the best chest in professional wrestling. The interview when Hype Central returns after these awards.

Hype Central.

What's this song? Swallow Buzz Bush. Right.

I think. Isn't this about him like dropping loads in Gwen Stefani swallowed.

Is it really?

That's what I thought it was. People said in the 90s, right? They dated.

Yeah. They're married. Have him.

Oh, they're still married.

Oh, they were.

Oh, maybe he wasn't talking about her then. Then that's up.

Yeah, they probably did.

But I might have just slandered the Gavin Ross name.

Gavin Rosdale? Yeah.

What's his name?

Gavin Ross.

Gavin Rosd. It's like a catcher for the reds.

Yeah.

This wasn't one of my favorites I liked it. You didn't, like, swallowed?

I like glycerine. Come down. I don't want to come on down. This guy.

I was always everything Zen by then.

Oh, everything.

Yes. Yeah.

Did we got to put Bush on? Yeah, yeah, let's go. Let's get bush.

Let's put some bush on.

Actually, we don't have a song for the previous episode. The outro song for the last episode.

Let's throw some notes. Throw them in.

The notes.

I'll get them in.

At least I don't think we did.

I'll put them in.

All right. No, we probably won't. Remember. Yeah, let me. Let me go to episode 87. All right, Rick, you're gonna pick outro bush, episode 87. Listen, as you already heard this, everything's in.

Yeah, everything's in.

Okay, that's all set.

Right.

Is everything then from. From Fear with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg.

Is it.

I think that's in that movie with Mark Wahlberg fucking like Nicole. Finger on the roller coaster.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm looking it up.

Is that everything's in that movie?

I don't actually know. I don't think so. I'm looking it up, though, to see. See what's on the soundtrack.

Definitely a Bush song.

Yeah, I don't think. I don't know if it's everything Zen, though. Oh, it's Wild horses by the Sundays. Is that's. Yeah.

I don't know what the hell.

Calm down. Calm down is from Bush on that soundtrack.

Oh, so there was a Bush song.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

But I'm pretty sure when he's. When he's fingering her on the roller coaster, it's.

Yeah, it was a slow song.

Okay.

This is a Christian show. Chilling with the fingering.

Part of an unprofessional wrestling podcast.

Yeah.

Missionary all the time.

Christian athletes. Todd Gordon is definitely not a good Christian because he's Jewish.

Well, JV was an altar boy. I went to Catholic school, Rick. Do you have any history in that?

I went to. I went to Catholic high school.

All right, so there we are. We're all good Catholic.

We're all good Catholics.

Yeah. I mean, power to people. There's a boring, boring time of my life. Going to. That was a chore. I hated it.

Yeah. I think we would all agree.

Yeah.

I don't even know if I like the stories. I just didn't even want to pay attention. Just didn't want to be there. It's like, I remember just being like In a bummer for like 45 minutes every Sunday.

This is boring.

People are all happy to be there, and I'm just the kid. Like, this place sucks. I'm go play Excite Bike right now and watch Spider Man.

I'm missing WWF Superstars, man.

Yeah. So I can listen to who the knows Matthew of Bethlehem.

Peace be with you.

Paul's Letter to the Corinthians.

Hey, hey. People love that. Good for them. Like, you know, watching me play Call of Duty like this sucks. Well, I like it. So you don't like. I don't like watching Church. You don't like watching Call of Duty.

I don't like watching. It's like a line. I like watching Church.

John Van Damage. I don't like watching Church.

Yeah, watching Church.

Holy. I like watching that.

Oh, I watched that.

Oh, this is rude.

There he is.

Why are they showing that? We didn't even get to that yet.

I have no idea.

The showing is a dude that looks like Rick Rude wearing his Thanksgiving outfit with a mask on in the middle of a ring with no context to it.

He's the Rude Machine.

Oh, the Terrific. If only, if only they brought back the machines in the 80s, the late 80s, rather had the Rude Machine, the Perfect Machine. Who could be the third Minnesota guy to be machines? The Rude Machine. The Perfect Machine. And.

Trying to think, well, I mean, you had. You had Barry Darzo there, but he was a smash. So the Smash Machine.

Well, that would be good because AX was one of the original machines.

Oh, yeah, he was. He was.

So you get Darzo as a new machine, and he could be the Smash Machine.

The Smash Machine. Yeah.

Smash Machine. Rude Machine. The perfect Machine. And the manager would be Mr. Fuji.

The Fuji Machine.

All right, so we got recaps here of Candido and Spicoli going at it.

This is what you call a. A slow news week. Yeah, the whole episode's all recaps.

Recap. Yeah. Oh, it did get some Van Damme, I guess. Some new stuff. We do have the formation of the new triple threat.

But there may be evidence in this matchup that a new.

Looks like Joey's wearing a tailored suit.

This week between the franchise.

Shane D. Yeah.

Yes. That's better. Definitely.

Well, it does.

Yeah.

Like, the sleeves aren't, you know, to his knuckles.

Chris Candida, we now take you to the closing moments of an outstanding matchup between upand cominging stars in ecw T's.

A little weird, but.

And Chris Candido, Both men down on the canvas.

All right, so this is the final Moments of the match between Chris Candido and Luis Pacoli at House Party 97. And they did build this matchup pretty good on previous episodes. So I'm looking forward to seeing how this wraps up. I would think that Luis Pro gets the win over Candido because Candido can. He can lose. He doesn't need to win. He's one of those guys that is just. He's over.

Oh.

And if he loses, it doesn't matter because he's the heel, and he can just be like, I know I got cheated. Blah, blah, blah. That kind of.

Oh, absolutely.

So I expect Lewis Cole to win here.

Oh. Oh, I should have power bombed him.

Hey, should have slammed him. Toss him out. Nice spot. Little trash dump.

Some people might say he canned him. Hey, reminds me of something. Did you guys know that it's kind of like a New England saying to say you're rip?

Really?

Yeah.

I didn't know that. I thought that was pretty common.

No apparent. Apparently it's something that's more regionalized.

I'm Rip about this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was like, really? People don't say rip in the other parts of the country? No, apparently not.

We come up with the dumbest things to say.

Yeah. We say wicked a lot.

Well, yeah.

And piss up. Yeah.

That was one of the things that I never got into, though, is the piss off. Oh, it's piss off.

Yeah. I mean, it's. I feel like it's like our parents generation said that more than we do, I think.

So. I want a pisser. Oh, that's pissa.

Yeah.

Yeah. Freaking awesome. We need a dictionary. We call it New England Dictionary.

I guess a New England to English dictionary. Oh, Candido wins.

Wow.

Yeah. What a roll up. So now I guess this. This does help Candido because, like, oh, yeah. I am the biggest star. And. And Spicoli had been on a run of winning matches. So it's like, hey, buddy, you're not as good as you thought.

Throwing his wrist tape at him. High faces him.

All right, there we go. Back and forth. More brawling franchise. Oh, they're. Here comes the triple threat. The bulldozer. The redneck bulldozer.

Better than the Samoan Bulldozer.

No, he's not. Better than.

No, he's not. Yeah.

Oh, Spike pile drive. Tombstone O. Send him to his grave with authority.

Yeah.

Holy. Oh, here comes Pitbull number two. Pony.

What you go to high school?

What you go to? What you go to high school? Pony and Brian and Troy.

Chris.

Oh, that was Chris. That was pretty cool. Well, in the back of my mind. I'm just continuing to be more excited about coming up with a dictionary for phrases from. From my 90s area.

Yeah.

No, just from New England.

Oh, for my. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. So that will conclude the first episode of our coverage of ECW hardcore TV. That was ECW hardcore TV195. And we're gonna take a little break. We'll be back with the next episode of ease of hardcore TV covering January 21st of 1997. But before that, take a listen to our break song and we'll be right back.

Trampoles ain't hard to find. I took two bitches to a hotel. I told em both you know I won't tell bitch curiosity killed the cat. You gotta lick the clip while I hit it from the back. Don't be stingy, girl. Lick my balls too. You was talking big shit when I called you. You said you never fucked another girl before and you wanted me to help you.

She got so excited she got off work early, jumped in the back and started licking on my girly. I couldn't get home fast enough. But now it's time to fuck. Pimp nickers don't pay a dime a fucking two bit at the same time and then I hit the studio and write a rhyme. I call it tramp hoes ain't hard to find. When we got to my room she started acting nervous. Sat down and said assorted room service. I said bitch, bitch, what are you smoking? A big fat dick coming from East Oakland. I stuck it in her mouth, she started moaning. I said hang up, get off my telephone, bitch. I put the game down immediately. I'm a vet from the town. I started freaking them freaks and once they started they couldn't stop. I fucked them for a while then I kick back and watch two bitches at the same time. And neither one of these hoes is mine.

You lucky, lucky bastard.

Yeah, sorry.

No, that's.

I don't know. Sometimes it gets to the point where it's Too far back. And you should just let it go.

I don't know what I'm going to do. I feel like I'm good still. I don't know.

Yeah. If you feel that way.

Thanks. Now you got me a second thinking.

Really?

I'm accepting. I'm accepting my. You could.

Your. Your hairline could be at the front of your eyebrows. I still would have said something.

I know, I know. I know you're with me. If you were Marty, then I would really be serious thinking Marty is serious all the time. What the we got going on here, Rick? Can you describe what the going on?

We got an ass gang initiation.

Yeah, we. Exactly. We got. He's getting beat into a gang. Shane wants getting ddt. Brian Lee was going ham on him. Oh, he's going ham on him again with that trash can.

Well, that sucked.

Yeah, that was not as impressive as it should have been.

That was not good. Tommy jumping off.

That's not a bad visual though, Francine.

Yeah, that's fine. Fine?

Yeah.

What do you mean fine?

I don't know. I'm not going to talk about it now.

The crowd's chanting. She's a.

She's a. She's.

It's not nice.

No, I love Francine.

No, no, the. The damage control girl is a blonde.

But who the hell is that then?

Who the hell knows?

Oh, that's Lady Alexandra. It looks like.

It does look like Lady Alexandra.

Yeah, she got the hair and she got that big ass. I know that big ass when I commit to a big ass. I know it. That doesn't sound right. Is that Beulah?

No, that's Beulah.

It's Buella. Okay. Bueller. Oh, I like that look. That's hot. Bueller. Wearing the tight jeans or the T shirt. Oh, okay, I gotta calm down. All right. Was that Dynamite Kid that looks like Dynamite Kid helping out over there on the left. Doesn't that look like Dynamite Kid right there with the ponytail?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Gotta help out. Okay? I haven't been making much money. Can I help out? But on a serious note, Tommy's up and we got this nurse that looks like androgynous. Yeah. Rick. You. You bastard. That was good. Ah, you saved me because I was trying to come up with something. I Couldn't. You got it. You nailed it.

Tommy Rich attacking Terry Funk for no reason.

Who the this somebody say something about shitty wrestler?

Like I'm supposed to be the one that bleeds tonight, brother just dumps the gurney on him. What the hell?

Hey, I don't give a how hot wrestling was in the 80s. Tommy Rich sucks. Rick, do you have any viewpoint on Tommy Rich.

Champion? No.

Yeah, that's not lame.

I have never. I have never seen a Tommy Rich match that I've gone. I get it. It's. It's always been like he's competent. I'm not saying he's the worst wrestler in the world, but.

Oh, definitely not.

I don't see anything like he. He has good baby face comebacks. So. Doesn't a lot of wrestlers as Mikey is is.

Is Tommy Rich to Mike Mills what Bo Dallas was to me?

No Mike, did you meet. Did you meet Bo Dallas and. And have him threaten to kick your ass?

Tommy Rich?

I thought he liked him.

No. Oh, he says he's a piece of. Yeah, those the opposite.

I bet Mike would. Would have him up.

I bet.

Oh sure.

Yeah. Tommy Rich was a to him. All right, so we're back now with Joey Styles. He's asking if we're back on. He doesn't know what's going on now. What a gimmick that is to take a show that is generally not well produced. To accentuate. We're not well produced.

We're gonna, we're gonna show you all the. The ups and like, hey, are we live?

We already know we come off as being shitty, but let's just put the.

Emphasis on that makes it special.

I guess. You know that's hostile sometimes too.

Yeah. Considering we ignored the first like 15 minutes of last episode by quoting Too Short and talking about karaoke.

Oh, that's right. We're supposed to have a two short and two pictures at the same time.

Right, Two at the same time.

That's supposed to be in this episode. All right, two pictures of the same break song. Too short. I'll put too short maybe not two. That might suck.

I'm too short too.

Sure, I'll pick a two shot song. Love me some Kiss.

Oh, that was something I was gonna ask you. Oh, favorite. Favorite Kiss guitar solo.

Jeez.

Yeah, think, think on that.

All right, I'll think about it. Do you have one in mind that you want to share?

I. I do.

I won't. I won't jump on a band while I take yours, but I just want.

To hear what you got to say tears are falling. Okay, off of Asylum.

Get in the corner and shut your mouth.

Cool has taken over.

A bully. Is his pants tucked into his boots? His pants a fanny pack on?

You're going to have to yell a little bit louder cuz he's about 90,000 miles away in Japan cuz he's so loyal to you people. Well, yell a little louder.

I don't think he can hear you.

He's in Japan.

Dummies, man. Dummies hear you.

And along with him in Japan is Rob Van Dam, the young little with.

A long.

Dad'S making friends.

Instead of being in Japan kissing Bobby's ass and kissing all the. He should be in this ring right here, right in the middle, getting his ass stretched out by the human suplex machine.

Hell yeah. Yeah. Rick. I don't even think I'm familiar with Tears Are Fallen. I don't think I ever heard it.

No.

So from.

It's from Asylum. The 85 80s. Yeah.

Bruce. No makeup.

No makeup. Yep.

Yeah, I gotta listen to it then. Who's a good.

Who's guitarist Bruce Kulik?

Okay.

It was the. It was the first album that he was the. He was recorded on because he. He was touring with them. He was touring with them for the Animalized.

Replacing somebody.

Yeah, on animalize. Mark St. John plays but he got, I think it's called writer's syndrome, where it's like almost like arthritis or whatever. So he couldn't play live. So they hired Bruce Kulik to. To do the tour and then they just kept him on to do the. Out the, you know, next couple of albums.

Hey, hold up, hold up, hold up. Hey, you, bro, right there. You with the gray sleeves and a black shirt hook.

Yeah, you right, you.

What gives you the right?

Look at this, the chant that.

What gives you the right?

T, man.

Just one of my contemporaries to run down one of my peers. You ain't never laced up a pair of your life. You ain't never competed. You ain't never wrestled in front of a bunch of ungrateful like this.

What? You do the right.

You need to sit down. Shut the up.

Dudes. Hey, I'm gonna lace those boots. That takes like 30 minutes.

Yeah, putting wrestling boots on takes forever. So much, so many little holes.

I was pissed earlier today that I had to take a knot out of my drawstring shorts. I had to like gnaw at them so I can loosen the knot up. Oh yeah, that does suck.

Yeah, that's the worst.

I just cut it and then my sweatpants oh, no.

I was like, oh, it's gonna it all up. So I just gradually, I took the time, worked it get a little wet, wiggle it out. That sounds gross. Okay. And here we are. We're building up, building up to the big main event coming. It's coming. All right. So anyway, in regards to Kiss, Tears Are Fallen.

Yep.

I need to listen to it. But, hey, it's gonna be the Outro song.

Oh, okay.

I'll hear it that way.

There you go.

Then I definitely gotta think guitar solo is what you asked. Yeah. I think you're setting me up for failure there because you probably know this is one of the best ones.

Well, I will. I will say this. It's. It's one of those ones that a lot of Kiss fans appreciate. But I mean, it's not to say that that that's the only good one.

It's not a deep cut.

It put it this way. Tears Are Fallen has a video, like a mtv, you know, music video. So it's not a deep. It's not a deep cut. Yeah, the. The.

It could have been on Beavis and Blood.

The videos are a bit weird and the outfits are a bit strange, but. But yeah, it was a. It was a single. Trying to think what the other. What the other single off that album was Asylum.

Yeah. What the came off Asylum.

I know Love's a Deadly Weapon is on that. King of the mountains on that.

85 year them.

Oh, that was. Tears of Fallen was the only single off of Asylum.

Yeah, it looks like it. What do they really have that? Crazy Nights 87.

Crazy Nights 87. And then you had Hot in the Shade in 89.

Battle of the Bam Bams. Bam Bam. Bam Bam. Bigelow was so good.

Oh, here we go. Bam Bam's coming. Oh, not the kimono.

Bangkok.

I would like the pillow with her.

You. You said Bam Bam's coming. And I was. I was thinking if I keep watching this, something else will be coming too.

Oh, Drake, come on. Come on, grow up. Rick's coming. All right, we got the intercontinental Tag team champions here.

Yes. I. I will say this. I love those belts. Like, I. Yeah, I really do. Yeah, not that the belts that, that they had after that. The, like the final belts are bad, but I just. I don't know. I just like that. I mean, the. It's the intercontinental belt. Come on.

Right? It's. Oh, we got Taz on commentary. This is from House party. House party 97.

Yeah, that's all fine.

And.

Well, we see the difference between guys like the Eliminators and myself and everybody.

Devon Dudley. Still not teaming up with Bubble Ray.

Not yet.

Now, despite what many people think, this was not a tag team. Probably are.

There you go. Stereo Moonsaults.

Oh, in stereo. Reminds me of the car song.

Guys are like ftr. Not as good.

What's the name of that car song? Living in Stereo. That's a badass song. Moving in Stereo.

Moving in Stereo.

That was the cars.

Yeah.

Yeah. There's also.

That song.

Yeah.

Fast Times at Ridgemont.

Fast Times at North American University.

Yeah.

Shut up. You don't get it. You're dean of Ask us. And over there.

Hey.

Now, that was a deep cough.

Don't give me away, Rick the Dick. What are we gonna say, Rick?

Oh, no, I was gonna say there is. There is a song by warrant called Loving in Stereo or Loving Stereo. That's about, I believe, about banging two girls at once.

I thought you were going to be in the ring.

You said you're going to demonstrate your skills this week.

Well, I am demonstrating my skills.

One.

Well, that reminds me of Too Short again.

Yeah.

Two at the same time. There we go.

Yeah, that's the theme of today's show.

Banging two at the same time. Which I never have done. Which is good because who wants to deal with that?

Still nagging. What about me giving her too much attention?

What about me? What about my cockpit?

Perry and I are tight. John and I are tight. They've been at my dojo. We've trained a lot of hours together. I got nothing but respect for these two guys. Action.

We got a good match going on here in the ring. Woman is taking control. We got mini Rock Rock Pebble Peewee. Trying to maintain some order in the ring, but I just got distracted by shitty haired lady in the front row.

That dude.

Man, look at this crowd.

Weird Ass Mullet.

Weird Ass Yankovic.

Yeah, he's got like a.

Is that Grover on his tie dye?

What? What is that?

What is. What is that on Devon's shirt? Tie dye shirt. That was Grover.

Grover from Sesame Street.

Nope, nope. It's not. It's not even. It's nothing.

You know that Frank Oz did not change his voice at all from Grover to Yoda. Really?

So if you watch Sesame Street. I love Grover was my favorite as a kid.

It's like the same voice.

Did you know Grover was not an original character?

Really?

Yeah. No, no, Grover was.

No, he was not.

Yes, was the original monster.

He was not in the original cast of Sesame Street.

You. I think you got it mistaken.

Are you wrong? I Just saw it on CNN10 this week.

Yeah, I know you're wrong. I'm not wrong, brother was the original one. That was the answer to the question was, who wasn't.

No reversal.

But the question was, who was not?

What's your definition of original?

Groo was the, like, part of the original lineup.

Grover was the original one. Everybody else is wrong.

Anyway, because. Okay, because I'm, I'm. Look, I looked it up because why not? And it says that during the first season of Sesame street, which was like 1968, a dark, this darker furred monster made several appearances, but he didn't get the current design with the blue fur and the pink nose until 1970.

Yeah, right.

No, no, that's what I'm saying.

But that's not what the question was.

Well, I don't know what the question.

House.

I'm gonna go watch it tomorrow.

No, that was the answer. And everyone was like, oh, no, it's Kermit the Frog. He wasn't on that show cuz he's a Muppet. No, it's Grover. Those people. Yeah.

Thank you for displaying your skills and joining us here in the broadcast position.

Anyway.

Yeah, yeah, right, right.

The question was, who was not on the original episode? Whatever the. Who was on the original episode. It was like a trick question. People thought. People thought it was going to be. People thought it was going to be Kermit the Frog World tag Team, but Grover was the answer.

They remain the best tag team in the world today. When we come back, update on Tommy Dreamer.

Anyway, not a big deal.

So what, what's your thoughts on that pr. On the. The Eliminators being the best tag team in 1997?

I agree with it. Yeah, I totally agree with it. They were innovative. They had great move sets.

We'Ve seen yet.

Yeah. Their only competition was the gangsters. And you know how I feel about the gangsters. Yeah. It's just a show.

But what. What about it? So go ahead.

No, go ahead.

No, I was gonna say what about the. The way that it's free. It was phrased by Joey. Is that they the best tag team in the world at that point.

Best tag team in The World at 1997.

January 97.

What the we doing? We're talking about like the body Don is like early 97.

Well, not.

I guess not at that point. Yeah, yeah, I would say they as a solid tag team. Yeah.

Yeah, I. I would agree. I just wanted your opinion on it.

Tag team specialist tag team. Like, at this, at this time, I would say. I would Be more excited about them being a tag team because they work together. It seemed like they had a gimmick that made meshed together right his eye.

Have double the bounty of that bald head. Now somebody wants to collect a hell of a paycheck. I'm paying big bucks tonight to take that bald son of a out. Now somebody come collect the money.

He's looking swole.

Your ass is out. Pit bull number two, who wants to collect the money? Get on down here. Well, the franchise just interrupting this matchup. And apparently Bubba Ray Dudley has no interest in collecting the bounty. The bad crew apparently does. And they're not doing a good job of an Irish whip. Cloud power. A slap. I've doubled it. Come on. And back through. Turns out to be a pair of unsuccessful bounty hunters. Enough tonight to collect a big pay check. Somebody want to take that ball? Here comes Devon Dudley and Axel Rotten.

Again.

Pitbull to an axle right in the corner. Reversal of the Irish win.

Bubba Cutter superplex. Oh, super power slam.

Fall away.

Slam. Two more bounty hunters turned away. If I can't pay somebody to do it, I'll do it myself. Myself. Myself. Myself.

What the is he even saying? He sounds like a pitbull.

Or he's drunk.

Hamid.

Okay, if it's the prime time slam, stop calling him. The goddamn bulldozer is down.

And now the bulldozer and Chris Candido are going to work over Pitbull number two.

Franchise still doing commentary.

Oh, my God. He fought his way back up to his feet.

He got single arm DDT for the red.

Well, there you have it. There's the official announcement. It the franchise Shane Douglas has reformed a new and improved triple threat.

It would improve that. I don't know about that.

Kiss.

Gladly kiss my ass.

And Joey goes, ah, shut up. I'm like, no.

Shut up.

No. I will gladly kiss her ass.

Struck again. He was scheduled to defend the ECW World television.

For that Dave Gro pushing the stretcher. Little Killing joke. Yeah.

Remember this?

Yeah.

Can imagine what lame song they'd be playing on the network.

No kidding.

Yeah. You remember it?

That's the only part. Well, then there's some taste the salt of my tears or something like that.

I think we put this song over when we heard it earlier. It grew on us.

Pretty sure we did. Yeah. And if I could be wrong, but one of my buddies got me a book on like the history of goth and goth music for my birthday. And I swear to God, I swear to God, Killing Joke is in it. And I'm like, I Didn't even realize they were a goth band.

Yeah, the history right there. History of goth.

It's like a thick book too. Like, it's. It's not. It's not just like, oh, we're gonna talk about the Cure and Susie and the Banshees and Bauhaus. It's like, we'll go back to, like, the actual goths of history.

Big titty goth babes.

Die hard, Goth chicken.

Funko. Ah, more Desperado. It's like that Seinfeld episode. Quiet, Quiet. This is my song.

Yeah.

Desperado, my son. Then Elaine is like, well, my song is Witchy Woman, Badass T shirt.

Yeah, I was just thinking that I want that shirt.

Funk man.

The headband.

That's a Band Aid, not his skin, right?

Yes, that is a band.

Funk them up. Funk them up. THEY chant.

That should. Should be a chance. Oh, audio discounts. Bulldozer fake a taker get rock bow with the bod Bang the bang Shitty, shitty, shitty ass wrestler can't show his titties. Okay, that's enough. I've seen Terry Funk back in action, though. Here. National wrestling. Living legend. This is.

When we come back.

It's the legend when we come back. What the.

You just came back.

Buy the shirt. Buy the shirt.

Visa and MasterCard, we don't take Discovery. Did they have Discover in 1997? And that's a stupid question, but Discover. Yeah. Yeah.

This car's been around a long time.

That's what I figured. But, you know, usually Visa. No, American Express is usually the one that a lot of places don't take because the. Yeah, the fees are so high or whatever.

Right. That. That's what always made American Express seem like it was high class.

Right?

Like, oh, you can't use that. That's true. They. They limited, like, payments, like, you had to pay.

I think their minimum payments are higher or you have to pay off. Yeah, you couldn't carry, like, a certain balance.

It's. It's that plus I think the merchant fees, like the percentage or whatever they take is, is higher compared to like, MasterCard or Visa.

Oh, yeah, you're right. For retailers. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, it's also I think that they have, like, the annual fee where it's like, you know, in order to have our card, you have to pay us like, 200 a year or some. You know, so as fruit, it makes it seem like more elite.

Yeah. The yuppie card.

Yep.

Patrick Bateman card. American Tiger, Huey Lewis and the News. Oh, did you. Did you Read that book, Rick.

No, I have not. I have not read. Recommended.

Yes, I recommend it.

Okay.

But if you watch the movie, it makes sense what you're just saying. But in the book, it's like dedicated chapters on Patrick Bateman. Just talking about the whole Huey Lewis in the news. It's like a whole review chapter.

A.

Few listeners, and then there's a whole another chapter that's about another. Another album. I think it's Whitney Houston's album.

Okay. Yeah.

It just is random. It's crazy. I want to dance with somebody. It's like. And he just gives his views on it. Like it's a whole chapter. His crazy musings, you know, just like his thoughts as a psychopath.

The World According to Patrick Bateman.

Once again.

The book's awesome. The movie is awesome. Jv. We. We rented that my house. We watched it the first time. Awesome. If you remember that.

Yeah, I remember. Probably Domino knows.

Yes. But yeah, the book is worth reading because it does put it into perspective and it finally does, like, give closure on, like, what the Was happening in the movie. Like, the dude was psycho.

Right.

Very cycled to the point where I think my p. Like my view is none of it actually happened. It was just like in his mind, in his head.

Yeah. Oh, that a nice knee shot. Terry Funk bloody as stand.

He can't see out of his leg.

So Terry's taking a beating here by Brian Lee.

Say. Say what you will about Terry Funk. He will put over anybody.

Yes, yes. Yep. That's.

And I don't mean that as an insult. I mean that as a. As a compliment that he was willing to. He was willing to put anybody over.

Well, that's what he set out to do by being part of this from the start. Right in. In late 92, early 93, when we started covering it. Yeah, he's all about helping people out, getting this over.

Oh, you want me. You want me to lose to Johnny Hot Body? Okay.

I just saw something the other day. Like, that's. Chris Jericho said the same thing about being in aew. Like, I always just wanted to get the young talent over, which I feel like I believe that.

Yeah, they all. They all say that until they get the taste of what it feels like to lose all the time.

Yeah. Like, then they're not big anymore.

Yeah, it's hard. I mean, I can see both sides of. It's like, just put an ego down.

Like, yeah, you probably do want to help people up. But you still wanted to help yourself out.

Right?

He still wanted to be A star.

And you don't, you don't want to be labeled as like a, you know, has been or a lot, you know, washed up or whatever, because. Oh, he. Oh, of course he's going to lose all the time. Speaking of which, did you guys. Did you guys see that Mick Foley wants to do one more Death Match?

Oh, don't.

Yeah, exactly.

That he's, like, getting. I did.

Yeah, that's, that's his reasoning is because anytime he had a big match in the past, in his career, he would always get into really good shape. So he's taking this as, I'm gonna get myself in shape, and then I'm gonna beat the out of my body, but hopefully then I can stay in shape. And it's like, really? Yeah.

When did he announce that?

I saw, I saw an in as interview with him and had his. Two of his kids, not Noel and Dewey, but the, the two younger ones. And he was, like, sitting on his couch and just talking about basically what I said. Like, you know, every time I would do a. Every time he would have a big match, he would get in good shape. And then the past, I don't know how many years, he said, you know, he's been well over £300 and he wants to get back down under it. And this is how his plan is.

Do a match.

It'll. Well, the getting ready and getting in shape for the match will teach him, you know, good habits for exercising and eating right and all that. And then once he's, Once he's done getting all cut up and bloody, hopefully he can stick with those habits and not be, you know, not get fat again, basically.

That's not gonna happen.

Yeah.

I'm sure. Oh, I mean, she doesn't want to admit it. He probably sees all these other legends getting paid, too.

Yeah, but he's not gonna get paid for this. Who's gonna pay him?

Wwe. Oh, look, Nick Foley's in shape. Draw some ratings and get them on the show.

Well, if it's of it a V, then fine.

No, he'll do a death match, but that'll be a way for him to get into WWE and get a deal.

I. I figure he's gonna do something like, I thought he already had, like, a deal with them with wwe, like a legends contract. He might probably didn't.

Yeah, that's why he was doing. Yeah, that's why he's part of all the documentaries and not getting that real.

Money, performer money, that death match money.

Saudi Arabia, like, we'll give Mick Foley $5 million.

Yeah, let's.

Let's get Mick Foley to wrestle Yokozuna.

Yeah.

Well, no, don't you remember that when they first started doing Saudi Arabia, whoever it was that they were talking to, they wanted. They were like, can you do the main event of the Ultimate Warrior versus Yokozuna? Because they literally had no idea that both of those guys had died.

That's crazy. I did not know that. Nonsense.

It kind of makes sense.

I heard of, like, that for a while.

I mean, you gotta figure, like, I don't know much about Saudi Arabia, but it's kind of one of those, like, what are the odds that they've had, you know, current Internet that tells them. Well, current wrestling and stuff in Saudi Arabia in the past, you know, 20 years.

Zero.

Yeah. You know, so they're. They're thinking back to, like, you know, 1990, when Hulk Hogan was huge.

We want the Hulk Hogan.

We want. We want savage hogan. 4.

All right. Build those a time machine.

Yeah, exactly.

You want the finger poke of doom.

Wow, this Ty Funk match is going longer than I thought. Yeah.

This is Harry Fox having a hard.

Time with Brian Lee.

Yeah. This is the beginning of the end. That was a nice move.

That was.

Now he's holding his dick.

Yeah. Ah, my sports hernia.

Oh, it's funny because it's. It's true. You know, you could very well have a hernia. Brian Lee's ripping off the Sandman.

Oh, he was so stunned by that headbutt, but he can automatically just throw a table over the top rope. Right now he's gassed. He's all. He's got the gas. He's ready to go. You suck. Brian Lee, can you sell for a moment? I don't know why I'm surprised that this guy sucks. I watched Smoky Mountain Wrestling. He sucked there. Who's the champion? He sucked. He got lucky to be in a tag team with Chris Candido with a young Tammy Sitch, and he sucked again. Goofy.

Yep.

He's only saving grace right now is that he looks kind of cool because he's looks like a biker, I guess, but, yeah, sucks. And this is after being the fake Undertaker.

Yeah, before he becomes Chains.

Yeah, he's basically Chains at this point.

Yeah. This is chains 1.0.

I. I get the only thing he really has going for him on the taker said, just stealing this one gimmick that you're maybe good at because you tried to be me.

Right.

And I'm. I'm the biker. Take it now you want it to be me. Well, I'M taking your best gimmick.

Going to go down.

He's going to go down swinging. Terry F. Still fighting valiantly. This is the stuff that legends are made of.

What, what, what, what makes it. This is what stuff for legends are made of. Can't finish Brian Lee because.

No, because he's. He keeps fighting like even though Brian Lee's been kicking his ass. Oh, I, I mean that's how I would take it. I. I just think it's stupid, you know. But again, Terry, I guess anybody.

I mean Terry Funk's older so it takes some more things get through somebody like this at this point, I guess.

Yeah, true.

I thought Terry Funk was just in the ring. What the happened here?

Apparently Douglas grabbed a big cut, pulled him out of the ring.

Oh, the Candido's out there with the table.

Bulldozer.

Where's Sonny? Sucking John's.

That hot break.

Who was bloodied earlier this evening and is going toe to toe the 317 pound bulldozer. This is disgusting. Terry fights to his feet anyway.

Through a table. Is he going through? Oh, I was like night. I'm taking a nap. I'm going to bed. I'm not helping you guys. You can lift me up because I'm done. You want me to in the ring, pick me up because I'm not helping you. He's not helping. Sandbagging him, you guys.

Those are some nice bags too.

Yep. Sandbag tits on the side.

Yep.

I'll take them. Knock me out. A 1, 2, 3. Brian Lee beats Terry Funk. But we all know it happened because of the triple threat.

Terry's hurt.

Brian way is the epitome of a guy. It's like a stepdad's like trying to be cool with the his stepson.

Yeah. Hey.

Hey. What do you think about getting some gags today? You want get some Gagas hot dogs. Code word hot dogs. Want to get some Gagas. And you in the and the mom's like all like oh yeah, he's a good guy. He's. Oh, he cares about you. He likes you. I don't know. Am I just talking about my own life right now? Should we stop that.

To a TED talk therapy session.

That was the joke off. It's true.

You only need to talk about it. We're here.

That's what podcasting's for. But I like this right here. Terry doesn't give Terry. Terry Funk doesn't give a I want to you university shirt.

Yeah, you should have one.

Thanks, I deserve it. The he's going at it What'd you say?

You earned it.

You earned it. He's him up.

He's just slapping the out of him.

Oh, yeah, him up. Terry. Here we are, episode 180. Oh, episode 88. And Terry Funk goes back to like episode three. Probably episode one, right?

Yeah, it was episode one.

Episode one. I'm thinking back. I'm thinking back to the Terry Fung with the horse. Horse's ass.

Oh, yes. Your face has changed, but your breath still smells.

Yep.

And this is yet another installment.

Or. Or when his. When Eddie Gilbert's brother was showed up and Terry Funk ran him over with the front end loader.

Yep. Those are great. This clown.

His chest hair. Jesus.

Terry, phone classics ultra class three, heat wave 94 funks versus public enemy. Hey, we've covered all this in the archives. Check it out. Rob Zombie music playing.

Yep. Electric Head.

That's the name of this song.

Yep. Yeah.

Yeah, that's. That's a common part of Rob Zombie songs. Yeah. Ecw. It's not for everyone.

Yeah, yeah.

Downing Town.

It was Downington, Amber, Pennsylvania.

Grand, Pennsylvania.

Yeah.

The freak.

Apologize. All right, Joey. What's up, Joey?

Joey's disgusted.

Since July 13, 1996. Tonight, the franchise.

I like that of Gary wolf, Pitbull number one.

And then on October 5th of last year year, he earned the ire of everyone in professional.

Oh, here we go.

When he grabbed the surgically implanted Halo.

Halo. There you go. Shouldn't got in the ring. Why would you put yourself in the ring with a Halo franchise?

For the world.

Exactly, dumbass.

Because he was heaved off the bat and he jump from.

What a shot. That was a great can shot.

The whole thing was a setup. Doubling the bounty. He goes through a table and he gets on a stretcher.

So now the franchise change up, up here. 97, Shane Douglas, reestablish. Reestablish himself as a big star.

Triple threats running rampant.

This gag he put together.

Joey pissed. Yeah. I was like, joey, calm down. What's this gonna do with you?

Just announce.

Right? Just look at Francine's titties and ass and calm down.

Oh, man, so long.

The legs.

Yeah, yeah.

They go from here to heaven.

Oh, like the legs from that Toy Story character?

Oh, just the. The one with legs. They like the legs and the fishing rod.

Yeah, it's like from a Francine figure.

Davey loves that toy.

It's one of the better ones. The oil on chain.

Yeah. No, it's gonna slide out of the ring.

Jesus Christ, dude.

Hot stuff.

Yeah. Frying egg on him.

Oh, All Right. Well, we talked about this earlier, but.

You know who this is.

I think everybody in the crowd knows who that is. Come on.

A rude machine.

Machine.

A real stupid star just showed up, buddy. How you gonna react?

Oh, cut the music. The voice, everyone pops.

Yeah.

Yep.

Awesome.

And my new year's resolution is to change the direction of the ecw.

Change the direction.

It's a great line.

With the franchise.

Yep.

Oh, that's a great teaser here.

Yep.

Shane's gonna pick up the mic. What's he got to say?

If you want to with the franchise, why are you hiding behind a mask?

I think this is a good line too, if I remember correctly.

It's simple, Douglas. I'm hiding behind this mask for two reasons.

If I take it off, you, yourself, you yourself and me.

And all these people have to deal.

With the Nasty.

Who called himself the NWA world champion and he had the model to be the man.

Oh, he's gonna bring up Ric Flair. The Shane Douglas.

But notice he called him a tub of.

Oh, it's taller. Rude is.

Yeah.

Mountain of a man.

To beat a franchise. Or you show everybody in this building.

Hung like a hamster.

You got somebody in the back. Who is it? Who is it? It's not Tommy Dreamer, is it? That's because we took care of that piece. It's not Pitbull number two. Is.

Couldn't be.

That's right, because we took that.

Come on. You're the only one that doesn't know who the it is.

Pitbull.

Pitbull number one.

Oh, he's back.

Gary Wolf.

A crowd's up for it. Oh, bump city. Back body drop.

Boom.

Oh, the crowd's loving it. Finally some come up and power slam.

Slammed him right on the mic.

Oh, that's great. That's cool.

Yeah.

All right, that brings us to the next episode that we're not going to watch right now.

Yep.

But what a way to finish. That's awesome. All right, so that wraps up BCW Hawker TV 196 from January 21, 1997. And that was a good one. More house party and more of the feud between the triple threat shit's building up there. Terry Funk, Brian Lee, that great finish there. Shane Douglas finally getting some come up and inspired Pitbull number one. That was good. Good. What do you think, guys?

Yeah, definitely teating up.

Yeah, I thought it was good. I mean, you see a big star like why, why didn't Rick Rude take his mask off?

Yeah, I don't know Rick anything on that?

Does he come back and take it off. Or is it. Just.

Don't want to spoil too much. Let's just. Well, let's just say that that's not the. The last time you're gonna see Rick.

Rude in a mask.

Yes, in a mask.

We're gonna see him in a mass. More.

Yes. And then it's. They're building. They're building to. Towards Barely Legal, put it that way. Oh, but Rick Rude is not going to wrestle Shane Douglas at Barely Legal.

Yes, I know that.

No, I know, I know. But it's more for JV's sake.

But I didn't know there was still more Rick Ruder than Mask after this.

As far as I remember. There is. I don't. It's not like every week he comes out and says something kind of a thing. But yeah, it's. There's definitely. They're building towards Barely Legal with. With Rick Rude being a thorn in Shane Douglas's side.
