Garrett's Uncontrollable Laughter
00:00:34
Speaker
Hey, welcome back. It's your host, Fax. And with me as always, my boy, Chris Miggs. How's it going, Fax? Garrett, I mean, we're not sure if Garrett's gonna be able to join us tonight because last we checked earlier this evening, he was still laughing about Sting from last week. He'd been laughing for seven days straight.
00:01:00
Speaker
The Guinness Book people have moved off Natalia Neidhart and have moved over to Garrett's neck of the woods to get the... I think there's some medical concern too. Oh wait! Garrett!
00:01:23
Speaker
Oh, that actually started as a bit. And as I was laughing, I started thinking about this thing and it became real again. So yeah, it's still real to you,
Embarrassing College Incidents
00:01:35
Speaker
Garrett. It's still real to you. So yeah, so hard. Have you ever laughed so hard? You threw up? No, no.
00:01:46
Speaker
I do, wow. You wanna tell us about that, Garrett? Was one of them because of Sting in the last two weeks? Not yet. They're both pretty embarrassing. One, they were both in college. I was just sitting on the couch and I start, do you remember the Redneck Comedy Tour? Oh yeah. Yes. So you remember Ron White? Mm-hmm.
00:02:16
Speaker
Vaguely. Yes. He was sitting on the couch. That was the joke. Yeah, I was sitting on the couch and just thought about his dog saying he calls me Tater. And I started laughing so hard that I vomited. I didn't even hear the joke. I just thought about the joke. And that, you know what, that was better than we gave it credit to the Redneck comedy tour. I thought it was OK.
00:02:43
Speaker
Yeah, you cried during, I might be a redneck though, right? That was. Here's your sign. So we're recording this right
Dynamite Wrestling Highlights
00:02:55
Speaker
after Dynamite. Fax and I watched the end of Dynamite and Garrett has not seen this yet. So and again, I only saw the very end. So don't spoil me on if Sting did anything notable.
00:03:11
Speaker
Oh, it's sting the fifth guy and they're just going to finally kill him in this cage. He enters number one and takes the most brutal shit for an hour. Well, let me let me get into that. So when I I literally I had other plans, me and me and Mrs. Fax were doing something. And so when I when I turned it on.
00:03:28
Speaker
And Chris had already, we'd been texting. So Chris has said, oh, the main event is going to be Don Callis doing the reveal. And I'm like, okay, well, there's like 15 minutes left. And so whatever matches on is the main event, right? Like the main event match. And I was very surprised to see in my picture in picture, I'm like, is that Nick Wayne? Is Nick Wayne on last on dynamite? And he was fighting.
00:03:53
Speaker
Swerve. Swerve. And they gave him a pretty full video package before this, too. I don't know if Nick Wayne is ready for talking that much on TV, but he gave it a shot. I missed that. Yeah. But yeah, the match was great. And the only person disappointed with that match
00:04:19
Speaker
is Jordan Oliver, because there's no way Jordan Oliver is getting on Dynamite anytime soon, unless it's as Nick Wayne's little guy. With the video package, basically just somebody like a Don Callis, like Nick Wayne's little guy being like, this is a real little boy. He is really his little, he is a little guy. He is a little boy. He's in here doing big boy stuff with big men, but he's little boy.
00:04:45
Speaker
Well, they did that last week. Right. Darby did a video package that was basically exactly that. Yeah. But but here's my dream is that like the next time they do a show in like Newark or Long Island or somewhere tri-state area, Boston's probably too far is that Jordan Oliver, Nick Queen gets Jordan Oliver's a ringside seat. They put him on camera during dynamite or collision, whichever show he's going to be on.
00:05:12
Speaker
And Excalibur goes, Oh, that's Jordan Oliver. And he just talks about him being Nick Wayne's friend. Doesn't mention his wrestling history at all. Ideally making it clear that even Excalibur has no idea. Cause even though Excalibur clearly watches wrestling 27 hours a day, he will not lower himself to watching Jordan Oliver matches.
00:05:36
Speaker
He's like, I heard he did a two-hour Iron Man match against Tony Deppin. I heard, can't confirm. Can't confirm. According to his pro wrestling tea story, he once wrestled Coco B. Ware. I can neither, as an ex-caliber, I can neither confirm nor deny that. But yeah, the package was mostly Nick Wayne telling the story about how his dad trained him from when he was a baby, and then his dad died, and then he was sad, and now he does it for his dad.
00:06:06
Speaker
Yeah. So he's stealing Darby's story, but it's uncle. No,
AEW Storyline Developments
00:06:13
Speaker
he's not doing it. Darby's not doing it for his uncle. I was actually explaining to my daughter tonight because she was like, we were watching some of dynamite and she was like, why does Darby paint his face half of his face?
00:06:27
Speaker
And I was like thinking to myself, I'm like, I can't say that he says it's because he's half dead. That would be weird. I'd have to explain what that means. And so I said, he's a sad boy, but I said much more cleverly, it's because he says he's half alive. And that was just as confusing. I had to explain what alive meant and
00:06:50
Speaker
We just sort of moved on from it. We just sort of go. You could always go to the old voodoo zombies because voodoo zombies aren't actually dead. They're just like kind of mind controlled to be like, oh, he's a voodoo zombie. And then you'd have to explain, you know, Creole culture and stuff like that. But that's a much brighter conversation with some good food at the end of it. She was very impressed that Nick Wayne has a wrestling ring in his garage, though. She was very impressed by that. That is very cool. But Darby did explain.
00:07:16
Speaker
He's a spooky boy. That's it. That's all you need. Yeah, sorry. Go ahead. She doesn't know the word emo yet. No, she did. She does like Fallout boy, though. So I'm going to have maybe that's how I'll explain it. There you go. But yeah, I mean, Darby actually in the thing talks about how while he's half dead because of his uncle, he said in the Nick Wayne thing, he actually explained how, no, I wanted to be a wrestler since I was a little kid. So he actually like Darby's cat in cannon is, you know, the same as every other wrestler that they just like.
00:07:45
Speaker
But Darby wasn't allowed on the Rosie O'Donnell show. I wish we would have seen a little kid with half his face painted. You seem disturbed. Maybe you need therapy. And then he walks to the top of the audience steps and just hurls his body down them.
00:08:02
Speaker
By the way, if you're just like a normal person and you're just walking by like the arena where dynamite happens to be that night and you're not going on the show, you have no idea what show it is and you just start seeing all of these little blonde children with half painted skull faces. Are you maybe kind of terrified? Is there a cult children of the corn thing going on here?
00:08:25
Speaker
Yes. And why are they all blonde? And why are the ones that aren't blonde all wearing the same denim jacket and sunglasses? That's a great question. It's got to be weird. Pick your flavor of weird, child. No, it's based on your hair color. That's it.
00:08:46
Speaker
um but yeah like so the reveals because it wasn't just the bcc's fifth member it was the elite's fifth member as well and i just think that the way they did it was really great is that like clearly they realized one of our reveals is kind of meh is pretty meh it's just a guy on the roster and the other one is like big
00:09:07
Speaker
And so you can, but let me just finish like the way they structured it is they set it up as. So I'll even tell you which is which on which side is like the big, but Don Cowles comes out and like they make a big deal of the BCC announcing their fifth member. And that was the one that was kind of shitty. And then they do a good promo and we'll
Koda Ibushi's AEW Return
00:09:30
Speaker
get more into it after. And then they reveal who the elites fifth man was. And that was the one that was like, Oh shit. Nice.
00:09:40
Speaker
So if it's a BCC person, it's like, it's like one of the tougher, meaner guys on the roster. Sure. I would say that. Yeah. I think there's a very specific way you might even describe that.
00:09:56
Speaker
Pack, pack. There you go. You could say he's a bastard. Yeah, he's a bastard. That is underwhelming. You're very underwhelming. It's fine. It's fine. They got a little flippy guy to be in the cage, and that's fun. Yeah. And again, him and Kenny had some really good stuff. That's true. He was one of those things where it's just like when I thought that was the reveal, because again, I hadn't seen any of Dynamite. So I only knew it was the BCC's fifth member. I'm like, oh, I guess they already announced the elite's fifth member, and I don't know.
00:10:24
Speaker
It's probably not Adam Cole, but like, I don't know. It's probably someone like that, right? Like they just got like Kyle O'Reilly's back or something like that. Like, so I was, Bobby fish motherfuckers. Oh God, I would die. But so I kind of thought that was it. And that was it. So then when they got to, but, but then after I got, we got the big reveal, I was like, Oh, actually pocketing that match is going to be kind of fucking awesome. Is it Koda? It's Koda.
00:10:58
Speaker
Yes. You gave me some work to do in this editing. That's why I put the screen up there. Is your child not sleeping yet? I'm in the basement. It'll be fine. Okay. If I have to step away. No one can hear you screaming in the basement.
00:11:16
Speaker
Yeah, Koda fucking Abushi's gonna come. The Golden Elite is back and they're calling it the Golden Elite. And then Kenny, part of the promo is
AEW Tag Team Praise
00:11:24
Speaker
Kenny's like, you guys are just about fighting. We're about friendship and love. And it's just like, I do wonder if, and I think they will, right? Like very rainbow friendly, like in a legitimate way, not just lip service. Like I feel like they will have no problem running the Golden Lovers story back in AEW.
00:11:45
Speaker
and telling it, I was just thinking about this, we're just past five years from the formation of the Golden Elite at Dominion 2018. And Hangman Page wasn't even in it, so this is a better Golden Elite. Yeah, yeah, he's not, he wasn't quite special enough then. No. Well, he was on Cody's side. Oh, that's true, that's true. Yeah.
00:12:09
Speaker
But yeah, this is, it's exciting. It made me realize, because I was thinking about this, it's also, that means it's also, we're like a month away from five years out from all in, which that's hard to believe. I don't understand the passage of time, but it's difficult.
00:12:26
Speaker
I am also thinking it's a good way to heat up Pac to to give him a big match in Wembley. Right. Like and part of me even wonders maybe are they doing him and Kenny in Wembley and they have somebody else in mind for Osprey maybe because they definitely want Osprey to win. And like they're like, I don't know, maybe we don't want him to be Kenny again. That but that could also be Pac and Hangman in Wembley. They have a lot of history. That could be a really good match again.
00:12:53
Speaker
Any combination of those four guys is two bangers. It could be pocket and bushy. I'd go for that.
00:13:01
Speaker
It's fun that they brought Obushi back to the States twice now, once to fight, I guess he ended up fighting three times, right? He fights Speedball or something. Speedball and Janela. And Janela, he had that pretty gnarly match with Janela, where they did some crazy shit in Los Angeles, and we're gonna almost certainly see Kota Obushi bleed in this cage. I've never seen his blood before. Kota's gonna be wild.
00:13:31
Speaker
I mean, he's too pretty to bleed. He looks like he would love bleeding. Like, Kota looks like he would fucking get into that. Like, this might be his Despy moment. They already have the Brit Baker t-shirt where she's bleeding. They already have that printed up with Kota. They're going to be selling them as fans are leaving. They'll have that mystery shirt that they're not selling yet at the venue in Boston next week. And then they'll just take the thing down when the main event after he bleeds.
00:14:00
Speaker
mox is mox is so excited to get to talk to someone about blading who's new he's like oh it's my favorite thing
Juice Robinson & Jay White Discussion
00:14:06
Speaker
that's teaching teaching people to blade all right coda this is okay just watch what i do john we're not wrestling yet no no no it's fine chakota i know we don't know each other that well by the time i started doing new japan you weren't really around much but like
00:14:20
Speaker
This isn't a weird thing, but just to know how you should blade, I need to taste your blood. I just need to taste a little bit of it, and then I'll tell you exactly how it's gonna flow.
00:14:32
Speaker
The second Nick Wayne walked in, Mox was just like, ooh, that fresh blood, that undainted blood. It's like, you know, that scene from like a movie where it's like a character with like a Zippo lighter and they're just able to like move it around all of their knuckles. Like they were a serpent. So that's Mox, but just with like three razor blades at once at all times. Just right on top of his head, just a little gut.
00:14:58
Speaker
We should discuss how fucking incredible Mox versus Despy was in Final Death. So, like, honestly, that's right. So Final Death was fucking incredible. But also, like, again, we'll start with, like, FTR versus Bullet Club Gold was one of the best TV matches I've ever seen in my life.
00:15:16
Speaker
And if anyone hasn't seen collision, this is going to be spoiler that bullet club, gold wins to win the title eliminator. They waste no time. Like, so there's a stacked Saturday show, even before blood guts on Wednesday. Cause they're doing those guys and FTR in my mind had, if not a five star match on TV was like just a hair under that the ending was a little bit botched, but they're going two out of three falls this coming Saturday. So that's going to go an hour.
00:15:46
Speaker
Yeah, it's best. I think it's I think that I thought that was the best tag match of the year. Kind of full stop. I think the only thing that was I thought in the in the ballpark was maybe the Aussie open Bichaman like title switch was really good, but I think I think FTR against Bowl Club Gold was better.
00:16:06
Speaker
And it's been a week year for FTO. It's been a week year for AEW, I think in the tag team side. And I put this in our text, but like it felt like like just before the formation of AEW, where it was like in New Japan and the top Indies, including Ring of Honor, you were just seeing like main event tag team matches that were just fucking.
00:16:25
Speaker
balls out incredible it felt like one of those it was just ftr doing a 2019 new japan tag match and it was fucking great and it makes me want to see ftr in the world tag league and it makes me realize like oh yeah like j white and juice robinson you'd think of as like maybe not the top guys in new japan from a work rate standpoint like oh j white got very very good even i have to admit but like you're just
Collision's Impact on AEW
00:16:49
Speaker
like oh yeah
00:16:50
Speaker
for the US and then going against FTR and how good FTR is, it's just, it's incredible. Someone seemed to me a good point about, I was talking to that, our different violent miracle go check his wrestling observed, I think is his new Instagram, but juice is kinda like Stan Lane.
00:17:11
Speaker
in that he's kind of terrible, but he's kind of a perfect tag team partner. With the right partner, you can just accentuate all of the good parts of Juice. And particularly as a heel tag team wrestler, right? Because I think when they tried to make him like the hot tag guy and stuff like them, although him and Finlay had some fine matches. Yeah, they were good. But yeah, definitely him and Jay White
00:17:37
Speaker
are actually a really good team. And I do think this is the best possible use of Jay White. I think that if they had pushed him near the top of the card, I think people would have just not gone for it. And I think if they pushed him just to the mid-card, I think that would have gone poorly because I think that then you would have just made him a lifetime look at Brian Cage. Where you start him, it's hard to get past that. So I think doing this where it's like,
00:18:02
Speaker
top of the tag division isn't really top of the card. It's not really mid card either. It's like you're kind of in that you're like top guy adjacent.
00:18:12
Speaker
Well, they didn't do the thing that they've done with a lot of people where they just start by losing title matches. They're like, look, a surprise person. They lose a TNT title match. Now we'll start telling their story. They've treated him like a big deal, but not too big a deal. Well, they haven't force fed him to the people that don't know who he is or don't like him, right? Because I'm sure that they were aware that Jay White has some expac heat, right? It's not all just heal heat. It's some of its expac heat. Yeah. And the other thing, I mean,
00:18:44
Speaker
We were talking about this a little bit in the thread facts, but I think in general, like, collision's been really good for AEW on the whole. Yeah, yeah. I think it's really allowed them to stop, like, disappearing people. Everyone is getting time. Everyone that they care about is getting time every week now.
00:19:01
Speaker
Yeah, and I mean, Samoa Joe over CM Punk was pretty disappointing, particularly after that match. I thought particularly fine. Well, it's just like I feel like they should have made a bigger deal of like CM Punk finally beating Samoa Joe. Like if you're going to do it as a main event match and again, I don't think that's the fault of the booking.
Miro's Potential in AEW
00:19:18
Speaker
Like I just think that both guys like I don't know, they haven't worked together in a really long time and they just didn't quite click the way they used to. And they're obviously a lot older.
00:19:26
Speaker
But yeah, you don't hate that match being on TV. I was hyped as hell to see CM Punk Samoa Joe in a main event in 2023. Yeah. Well, getting full length FTR matches, for example. Yeah. Again, you look at Dynamite and the stories on Dynamite have been consistently there on the show. They're not disappearing
00:19:47
Speaker
for a week or at all. The stuff with Darby and Swerve Strickland, the stuff with Jericho and his group, there's been kind of a nice consistent progress in them. Again, in part because they don't have to service all the guys who are on collision.
00:20:05
Speaker
Yeah, agreed. It's just, it's kind of the best of both worlds that you don't formally do a brand split. So you can still have guys show up wherever. Right. But you basically have done a soft brand split where it's just like, well, we're going to make sure Ricky Starks gets TV time every week and FTR gets TV time every week.
00:20:22
Speaker
which was kind of the one bummer why I was getting bummed out with Dynamite. It wasn't just that the show was creatively lacking, although that was part of it. It was also like, why am I getting this on Dynamite when FTR is fucking never on Dynamite? Like, it just doesn't make any sense to me. Like, the biggest one being Miro, who admittedly is only doing promos and squashes right now in collision, but hopefully they're actually building something. But it's like Miro's fucking great. His promos are amazing. He's a good worker. He has great look. Like, why wasn't he on TV forever?
00:20:54
Speaker
Wasn't a big part of that, him? It seems like it, but hard to tell. Yeah, like he got offered something at like forbidden doors, something in... Full Gear, I think it was all the way back there. Was it Full Gear and he just, he thought it was a bad story or something? Like he didn't, he was just coming to lose.
00:21:11
Speaker
But he was right though. I remember that story because that was when he was just kicking off the Redeemer thing. And it's like that Redeemer thing was so hot, but he has to win those matches. He can't just lose to Darby or something. I don't know who he was going to lose to.
00:21:27
Speaker
But like it wasn't Kenny, right? It wasn't CM Punk. Like he was losing to somebody that was like equal to him probably on standings of the card. And it's like, you know, they needed to let that Redeemer story go somewhere. So I don't know. I have no problem with guys disagreeing with creative. It's hard that you can't protect everyone. That's part of the
00:21:53
Speaker
how strongly you're protecting someone like Miro is I think an interesting question. I know, but back to my original point is, you can't, if Miro doesn't want to lose, he can't be on the show, but the gun club can go 58 no. And I know
Fight Forever Video Game Fun
00:22:07
Speaker
most of those were on dark, but a lot of them weren't. Like in the last year and a half, there's been a lot of gun club on Dynamite. Putting up those Abaddon numbers. Yeah, putting up Abaddon numbers ain't fucking having a world title run.
00:22:22
Speaker
That's a thing that happened. I have a Don, but for those, so I don't look, it's lame to talk about video, the video games that you played, you know, on a podcast. We shouldn't do that, but I do have to point out that facts and I got together on Friday night. We played a bunch of fight forever and Garrett was available. And so we played online against Garrett. We took our two creative wrestlers.
00:22:52
Speaker
and we tag teamed against Garrett who wrestled as two Abadons. And now that haunts my nightmares. Haunts my nightmares. I won and I told you I was going to. There was just no getting around her. Her powers are too great and her win-loss record is just too high.
00:23:13
Speaker
By the way, I really wanna do a four real people, right? So no computer controlled and do one of those casino battle royales where each of you gets to pick five guys. I think that that might be the funnest thing possible in video game wrestling. Cause like, that's like the type of game mode that never existed in No Mercy back in the day. And I just think that that would be, it's nothing like the actual casino battle royale. I don't even know why they use the name, but it's a hell of a fun game mode.
00:23:41
Speaker
I'm just like, oh, you eliminated me, but oh, I got Abaddon coming up next. Yeah, it's kind of a fun update on the format of like the Wrestle Fest arcade game, where when someone gets tossed out, a new person comes in and that game, right? It just.
00:23:54
Speaker
It was random and the person could just take them. But here it's like you've picked your squad and when you lose the first guy, you get the next one. And that's the way like No Mercy in WrestleMania 2000 worked too. It was like, that's kind of been the formula for the Battle Royal match. But I definitely like this better where it's like, you pick five guys, you get to pick which five you'll control. When your guy gets eliminated, one of your guys
Mox vs. Despy Match Analysis
00:24:16
Speaker
comes back in. And when you run out of all five, you just watch, you're done. It's a lot of fun.
00:24:23
Speaker
But we don't need to do another episode where we're raving about this game, right? Yeah. I was able to make Sting fall off ladders. So that was really exciting. And I mean, Garrett laughed a lot.
00:24:34
Speaker
We should talk about, and then you also played, so what was more bloody, what was the more bloody thing you saw this weekend, Chris? Was it your video game, Mox versus Chucky T, exploding barbed wire ring match, or was it Mox versus Despy in Tokyo? You know, it was shockingly close, shockingly close, but I think actual Mox versus Despy wins. Okay, yeah. And yeah, that match was so,
00:25:03
Speaker
Good. Like that's a match. And we've talked about like it was even putting aside the death match aspects of of final death. It's like a legit to anyone, I think, M.O.T.Y.C. Like, yeah, I don't see how it can't be in everybody's like, assuming we don't have nothing but like the greatest, you know, four, five months of wrestling to end the year. Like, I can't imagine how anyone that saw this match wouldn't put it in their top ten.
00:25:31
Speaker
It also made me really appreciate, I think Mox is an all-time US deathmatch worker, and he might even be number one. Only other two in the conversation, I think, are Funkin' and Cactus. And again, and we talked about, I think he is number one, but it is a little bit of the LeBron over Jordan argument, where it's just like, well, yeah, the current
00:25:54
Speaker
clearly best guy for the last while is like is like just clearly better than the one of yesteryear it's just things were different back then like i think if foley were 38 or something like that right now he might be right there with mox but just the matches and his opponents just weren't at the level of what mox is working with like that's why these despi matches have been so great like despi is this great classically trained like high flyer that's also trained in strong style in japan
00:26:24
Speaker
has been in New Japan for forever, has wrestled a ton in Mexico, and now is just doing death matches. And Mox is obviously a product of a lot of years in WWE, and now AEW, and also wrestled in the death match style, which he did back earlier in his group. But he went 10 years or whatever in WWE not doing those matches. And now he's just the fucking, Mox and Despy are both just world class,
00:26:51
Speaker
amongst the best in the world wrestlers and they just do death matches and death matches with good wrestlers are really fucking good. But that's an interesting point you're making about Mox had this time in WWE where he melded sort of his death match instincts with like the big kind of sports entertainment thing and then is now coming back to it and bringing like so much to it.
00:27:16
Speaker
And that's kind of the thing Foley never got, right? Foley's body gave out in WWE. So there's no, I mean, there's a post WWE career for Foley, but let me tell you folks, you do not need to seek out Mick Foley TNA matches. Although there is one, there's one with Ric Flair that
00:27:34
Speaker
If you're a person who, again, if you really enjoyed the Ric Flair tag match, the last match because you were concerned Ric Flair might die, this is a match you might be interested in seeing. But it's really more from a sick morbid angle.
00:27:53
Speaker
I see Garrett smiling. He's going to be looking this up right after this, but you have my attention fully. Yeah, they basically it, but they just leave too much. It's bad. It's like really bad at that point, like 61 year old Ric Flair anywhere near the athlete of like current. Handsome Despy, you know, he is not nor nor is nor is fully nor is fully anywhere near the level mox is at as an athlete post his WWE career.
00:28:21
Speaker
Sure. Yeah. I mean, and, and Despy choose, by the way, he's gotten for anyone who hasn't seen him in a while. Like he's gotten bulked up. Like we were talking about, Hey, maybe he's ready for the jump to heavyweight. Although my, my thought is he hasn't actually put it. It's not actually muscle or fat he's putting on. It's just lots of blood from blood thinners. Cause mocks was like, you gotta be on blood thinners for two months before I make it to Tokyo. We're going to need as much as you got.
00:28:46
Speaker
Yeah. It was the whole, the whole two nights was kind of a joy. And we were literally discussing, we're like, if they do this again next year, this would be the best way to spend the fourth of July is watching Americans bleed in Tokyo.
00:28:59
Speaker
Yes, I could not agree more. It's the most American thing. And God bless. I don't know if there's Rocky, ghetto. I don't know who thought of this, but it was fucking brilliant. And I couldn't think of a better way to spend some of my 4th of July week than watching this show.
00:29:17
Speaker
The two shows, I mean, because that show, by the way, and that willow against, was it Julia, Juliana? Julia. That match was fucking awesome. That was great, too. It could have been a little longer, but that was one of the best. Honestly, I can't immediately think of a women's singles match this year that I liked. Oh, well, the Sasha Banks first match in New Japan was this year, wasn't it?
00:29:39
Speaker
Right. Because that was right. Yeah. That was pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. That one was probably better. But I mean, this one was about as good as like it was probably like a 12 to 14 minute match somewhere in that range. Like it didn't feel that long. Maybe it was longer than that and just felt quick, which is, again, a good thing. So I feel but like for the length it got and like they couldn't have had a better match. I fucking love that match. Plus Eddie Kingston cried. Eddie Kingston. He slapped Kenta and he cried.
00:30:07
Speaker
Yeah, that was also like and so those were the last three, right? Yeah. No, the Ted, there was the tag title match. Oh, that was somewhere in the middle of that. So skip that match. But that match is not good. It's fine. Like it's watchable, whatever. But order this show. It's on pay per view. It's worth it. You can order both shows together. Watch.
00:30:26
Speaker
the the the the tag match from july 4th and then watch those three out of the last four final matches of the july 5th show which was the overall better show you get you get eddie crying you get a great willow match and with julia who someone i'm not super familiar with seemed like the birth of a new superstar to me like she seems like
00:30:48
Speaker
And Willow too, but like Willow, most people in America and Japan, I think know who she is at this point. Whereas Julia is like, if you watch that match, you're just like, Oh my God, I would love for her to be going against Rhonda Rousey next week or something, you know, like, and hopefully not Rhonda Rousey, but like Becky Lynch.
00:31:06
Speaker
And, or Sheeda. Um, and then of course, yeah. Final death.
GCW Events & Style Evolution
00:31:11
Speaker
It's just magnific. It was better. We talked about how much we love that tag match. And I think, did we all actually like the mox test beat match better of the two? Yeah. I think Garrett.
00:31:26
Speaker
I haven't seen it, so I was gonna ask you guys, like, is somebody who hasn't seen it, like, tell me some of the spots, like, what are some of the moments of this match that, like, some of the more memorable moments? I mean, I'm just, so, I think, again, the one thing that's standing out to me is, like, the last three minutes were kind of just, like, a traditional match again, but it was, like,
00:31:57
Speaker
They were both so like, I mean, punch trunk seems like it would be underselling the violence that they did to themselves, but like the spots led into it, but in an indirect way, like it didn't end with like a big crazy spot. Yeah. Nor are even, I would say the spots, like there's some spots in there, but some death matches become really,
00:32:23
Speaker
spots with some connection, right? You're really just moving between the spots. This what's sort of memorable is the emotion in the end that Sax is talking about, the way it builds up and the way you're really pulling for Despy because you know that this would be how big this would be for him. There is a double skewer spot though that is pretty great with the two of them just stabbing skewers in each other's head.
00:32:49
Speaker
That, yes, that's pretty cool. But I would say overall, it did feel like actually kind of an evolution of like the mid to late 90s Mick Foley match, right? That it was like, it wasn't just like Hell in a Cell to the side, right? Because Hell in a Cell is kind of the birth of that big spots with a very loose narrative tissue between them. It was more the other Foley matches of that era, where it's just like, it is just that kind of 90s style brawl
00:33:15
Speaker
But there's barbed wire and like there's weapons and there's tables and people are going to be bleeding. Right. And it's just more it's definitely not that, you know, what I think can be the laziest of like a deathmatch where it's like just we're going to set up this table and someone's going to go through the table, then we're going to set up another table and some like it. It it felt like a really good 90s heavyweight main event.
00:33:43
Speaker
that just had a lot more violence than even Vince would have allowed on TV back then. Except for maybe a fully PPP match in a few cases. But not anything that would cause you to say, oh my God, The Rock just gave him a concussion, I can't watch this. Right. Yeah, it's just a really, yeah, it's really well put together and it's really just,
00:34:11
Speaker
Again, so much of it hangs on Mox's presence and star power. There is something about him doing a deathmatch as the star that he is. And again, I think partially it's about Despy being on the way up and what this clearly means to him, right?
00:34:37
Speaker
Again, in a way that's, I don't know, it's different than, you know, Mox wrestled a lot of the younger guys and or less wester known guys in GCW. Part of it was he was the champ and it was sort of this perfunctory like title defense thing. This was about like. Despies like evolution as a wrestler, as a man, as a man, I was going to say as a man, it really is like and as potentially a mainstream
00:35:05
Speaker
like star, right? And yeah, like honestly, if you had to put a gun to my head to say what's been the match of the year so far, I think it's recency bias, but I think it's just that and the two Kenny versus Osprey matches. Like that's, those are the only three in contention for me that unless there's something I'm massively forgetting about. Ironman. Oh, Logan Paul's had a couple this year too.
00:35:32
Speaker
Yeah. The Iron Man's definitely in the group, I would say. Yeah, yeah. You're right. The Iron Man, the Iron Man's in the group.
00:35:41
Speaker
But, and I know it's recency bias, so like don't hold me to this, but I honestly think that Mox Despy might be my favorite match of the year. Just because even though I think like the other three were probably technically better matches, and definitely like the two Kenny Osprey, like the Kenny Osprey match, that's both of them. I still had little issues with both. Those little issues are because like I know these are, and I'm going to say it, the two best wrestlers in the world.
00:36:03
Speaker
You can make an argument for two other guys, but I think they are the two best wrestlers in the world and they're wrestling each other. And they both feel like there's like a 37 star match of possible between those two. And I'm confident that the best Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega match hasn't happened yet. Right. Whereas I can't imagine a better Moc's Despy match than this. And it was just fucking awesome. And I probably can't imagine a better MJF Danielson match than the Iron Man match, to be fair, but like,
00:36:33
Speaker
You know, MJF is come a long way, but he's pretty substantially lower down the work rate list than the other four guys, five guys we're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. The one thing I was just looking at Meltzer is like a rundown of the match in case I was forgetting something again, talking about what mental Meltzer give it again, Meltzer gave it four and a half. Which again, for Meltzer that's fucking nuts. Yeah. That's by Meltzer standards. I think that's five and a half, maybe six and a half.
00:37:02
Speaker
Um, for, for a death match. Um, the, the, the one, by the way, how is Lauderdale not getting like a fifth mortgage on his house to get Despy for a big tour right now? Yeah. Or can you even afford Despy after this? I think, I think Lauderdale might've missed his chance. Yeah, probably. That's why we're going back to Jeff Hardy. Yeah. We're going to see, we're going to see Despy against a beast man in Tokyo.
00:37:30
Speaker
The the one thing I'd forgotten is like there's there's kind of there's a big spot where they uh despy suplexes box off the apron onto a barbed wire board and they sort of both take it we're out about that yeah but there but as they're sort of like coming up out of that they both wrap their fists in barbed wire and it's sort of the um
00:37:52
Speaker
It's the death match version of the new Japan tough boy spot, right?
Personal Injuries & Humor
00:37:58
Speaker
The new Japan tough boy spot is we're going to throw forearms at each other. And their version of that is we're going to wrap barbed wire around each other's fists and throw punches. Which again, just take him. But doesn't that kind of feel like Triple H Foley, like Royal Rumble 2000? Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully Despy doesn't marry Ghetto's daughter. I mean, she might be a looker.
00:38:22
Speaker
Maybe we'll see. Well, but ghetto doesn't own New Japan, right? So it wouldn't quite be the same. It's not quite the same. It's not quite the same. You would have to marry the daughter. Or whatever his name is, his daughter. Whatever mysterious Japanese man smoking cigarettes in a dark room actually controls New Japan. Isn't it a game company at Bushi Road, right? They're like a game. Yeah. I think, but I mean, they own everything, right? They own like a TV channel. They like, they're just this massive.
00:38:52
Speaker
Do they own King one? That would be great. No, I don't. That's why they should. It's like New Japan secretly still had an ironclad Marty's girl contract that they had to burn the appearance. And like for some reason, they couldn't just pay him out to not wrestle. Like the contract was made that he actually has to work those dates. So they were like, well, send him to Poland, give it to him.
00:39:18
Speaker
You know, it's funny, when FTR bald stopped his podcast, we realized we moved up one. But we've got new competition guys, because Marty Scrull is starting a podcast. He's talking about old wrestling shows. Well, at least it's not sexy movies. Then I would have been worried for you, Garrett. Yeah. Is that real? Is he?
00:39:38
Speaker
Yes. Yes. Marty's girl has a wrestling podcast now. He's apparently talking about vintage wrestling shows. I did see one clip on Instagram in which he was explaining that he realized Flip Gordon had never seen, like watched a lot of like attitude era stuff. And he was like, look, you're on all these buses in Japan. Just watch raw from like, you know, somewhere in 97 onwards. And
00:40:06
Speaker
Marty's like, Hey, did you get to the point yet where like rock turns, turns heal? Cause that's pretty cool. And Marty's like, uh, that flips like spoilers. And he just realized flip Gordon is just a dumb. He's just, he is exactly who you would imagine him to be. He's complaining about spoilers on a 25 year old television. And he didn't know the rock ever turned heel apparently. Right. Did not know that.
00:40:30
Speaker
But week to week, it is Marty Skurl and Flip Gordon. No, it's Marty Skurl and someone else who's I'm not aware of that person. Does the other person does the other person have a strong Polish accent? I haven't actually listened. You know, they put the clip up in Instagram where it's just it's got the subtitles and I did not. I haven't actually listened to it yet. It's actually a segment on Rob Black's podcast. So you have to listen.
00:40:58
Speaker
that would be oh my god can you imagine marty showing up at american cheeseburger yes i can't i truly like it sounds about right he's just like hey marty i heard you like 16 year old girls um i want to bring you to a buffalo we're gonna film some videos maybe they'll be wrestling maybe there'll be something else uh
00:41:19
Speaker
By the way, guys, this is how big a week it's been in pro wrestling. We're over 30 minutes in and we haven't even mentioned the fucking Beastman had a GCW World title match this week. Yeah. The goddamn fucking fuck machine, fuck daddy Beastman. Indeed.
00:41:40
Speaker
You two listeners can watch this. It's on YouTube. It's the opener of the JCW show. You don't even need Fight Plus. You got Nick Gage and Psycho Client. That's on Fight Plus. Moxdespy, you're gonna have to order pay-per-view. But this is fully free for anyone with an internet connection or mobile data. You may want YouTube Plus, though, because there are a lot of ads.
00:42:04
Speaker
Okay. I have, so I didn't, I did not notice. Yeah. They do start like partially into a Blake Christian promo, which I'm thankful for that. I didn't have to listen to the first minute of the Blake Christian set up. Cause it was on Blake Christian's birthday. His present was beast man. Who's and what a present that is. Yeah, it really is. No, they had a really good match. It was very like, kind of, have you seen it yet Garrett?
00:42:31
Speaker
I've seen nothing, that's why I'm so silent on the WrestleTalk. So Garrett, it's basically, it's sort of like a cat and mouse game match. If the cat was a beast. Yeah, I was gonna say, did you listen to commentary on that one?
00:42:46
Speaker
You had texted something to that effect because you saw the match like an hour before I did And the announcers actually say that exact line. Oh, I had I could not hear that I had Yeah, I was like, I I know you usually watch youtube shows on you because you're like you watch while you're doing other stuff But yeah, the announcer verbatim said that oh, there we go. Well You know, great mind made it made of Scott and I he great minds, you know
00:43:10
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. But, you know, we're definitely worth seeking out. And it's it's on the what's a big ass birthday bash, I think is the name of something like that. Yeah. But it'll be so it's going to be whatever, like a two and a half, three hour YouTube video. But it's the first match. Literally, you're going to start a minute into a Blake Christian promo with balloons around because it's his birthday. The birthday bash is for him. Effie's in the ring.
00:43:33
Speaker
They never explain why if he's in the ring, that was part of the promo we missed, not wearing a shirt, but then just kind of leaves like they never addressed why if he was there or why he's leaving. Just I assume he challenged like Christian is something it's some future date, but whatever. Because then Beastman comes out, they have a match. It's good. So I have not seen anything else from that show. It's a J.C.W. show. I watched the match after I think it was correct refer was that. Oh, no, no, that was no speedball. And
00:44:02
Speaker
some guy named Mal from DDT. All right, so some guy and then fucking Mike Bailey. So do you think that Blake Christian was a good transitional champ into Beastman then? Yeah, I hate to spoil it. They did say they think Beastman will get another title shot in the future. He deserves it. He deserves it. He was screwed. Blake Christian, just a dirty cheater. Is the crowd behind him?
00:44:32
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. The crowd is my beast, man. And it seemed like a good venue. And so the day before there was a GCW show on fight plus, and it was like a fine GCW show. I like, there's nothing super standout. I'm going to tell people they have to go and find, but it's funny because they made some jokes on that show about like, Oh, you can't get a disqualification. They were like, yeah, I'm pretty sure there's never been a disqualification in the history of GCW.
00:44:57
Speaker
and yet like and then the blake christian beastman match and i'm going to spoil the finish here a little bit but like it's it's one of those things that like he gets the beastman bone and hits it with him like behind the referees back only it's not behind the referees back but he's still being sneaky about it and that's like that's one thing of these like
00:45:15
Speaker
The one thing I like about the con like I don't like bring Christian on the mic but like he's a pretty good wrestler and I could see him being a good transition between like Continuing away from the hardcore style when you had Nick Gage to Masha, okay You're moving more towards wrestling less to death match play Christian. I think is even another step towards that So that's what they're trying to do He could be a good guy for that but like if you're gonna do these like GCW kind of exists in these two worlds where you have like your normal indie wrestling matches and then you have your kind of
00:45:42
Speaker
death matches and kind of on somewhere on the deathmatch spectrum, right? And it's like, they never really have established the rules of like, is there DQs? Can you just hit someone with a chair right in front of the refugee in a normal GCW title match? Cause they kind of play it like you can't put the referee fully saw everything Blake Christian did and still counted the one, two, three. So it's like, it is a little confusing.
00:46:07
Speaker
You're right. That is like, that is a weird transitional time where if we're headed towards just regular wrestling, at least for a little while, his, yeah, GCW is always very much been like in the main event, there's going to be some hardcore shit. Well, and I think that like Nick Gage is getting to the ton of Hashi portion of his career, right? That like maybe they'll create a new hardcore title for him and like, they'll have a hardcore division and that, that title could totally main event shows. Um,
00:46:38
Speaker
And if not, just the Nick gauge match on the card is just kind of the honorary hardcore title. And then, and then they move the, the world title to be more like wrestling E or at least maybe they'll see how that works with selling tickets. Right. And then take it from there. See if they can get, if they can't get Despy, you know, maybe that maybe they think they could get a David Finlay.
00:47:07
Speaker
So as you were talking, I just hurt myself. I caught my thumb again on the mic stand as it's in this fucking thing for however many weeks. And I think it is, I think we do have to say that I finally went to a doctor. First time I've been to a doctor since I was 20. So I went 16 years without having a primary care physician.
00:47:35
Speaker
I found one. I go. Um, I had some x-rays. They're not hard to find. Yeah. There's a lot of them. It's like a Google search away. Yeah. During the pandemic. Very hard. I had to give up. No one would take me. So I was like, I'll die. This is just, this is why you have a primary care. That's why you have a primary care doctor, right? In case a pandemic hits that way you, you get to be on the line already.
00:48:00
Speaker
Well, yeah, you have to get it before the pandemic. You're out of luck at that point. So you're covered now for the next one. I did find out, not broken, but I do have something called mommy wrist or mommy thumb.
00:48:18
Speaker
which you essentially, I've agitated my muscles and tendons by picking up a chongus baby in weird, like basically picking him up in awkward ways has irritated this. And my options are to get it filled with steroids or potentially a surgery. And it's really embarrassing, honestly, to have to tell people that I have mommy wrist right now.
00:48:45
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, that's how listeners, you can tell Garrett's the tough guy on this podcast, the one with mommy wrist. I got half my stomach still open. Chris, he's, he's bleeding on, on greenery every other, every other day, but Garrett's got mommy, mommy wrist. Yeah. You're going to stick it. Are you going to get the steroids?
00:49:12
Speaker
Well, yeah, like I go in and I pull my pants down and they're like, what are you doing? It's like, I've seen plenty of wrestling. I know where the steroids go, Doc. Or just they're lying to you. They're just saying they're going to inject you with steroids, but they're just going to remove estrogen. I don't know how you're producing this much, but. I have been crying a lot and my breaths have been very sensitive.
00:49:41
Speaker
It's actually the doctor, the doctor, uh, Garrett found is, it's Dr. Zahorian. It's Hulk Hogan steroid guy. He's, but I mean that guy again still was, it was a doctor could, could practice position. He's just like, he's a host down and down in Clearwater, the host of the restaurant. You'll seecha. Hogan Hogan doesn't forget his friends.
Review of 'The Pope's Exorcist'
00:50:07
Speaker
But that's, that's the thing. They're just like, Oh, sir, I don't know how 36 year old male, this could be possible, but, uh, you're going through menopause. That's, that's what's causing your wrist issues. Chris, did you ever get mommy wrist? No. I, Chris is smiling. I did. I did have tough dad syndrome.
00:50:34
Speaker
But, you know. I would be, right now is the perfect time for me to go through star cast and go through all the meet and greets and like, I can't shake hands with Sergeant Slaughter. And he asks why, and I have to say, Mommy wrists, sir. Even Flip Gordon, he's a veteran. Yeah, I don't think Flip's.
00:51:01
Speaker
He wasn't watching rock matches because he was busy shooting Nazis. Timeline works out. There's the podcast row at the star cast though, right? They haven't announced that. No, but we could have gotten just a table there and just done some shows from our booth.
00:51:27
Speaker
probably us set up next to the Steiners. I feel like there's probably a rule explicitly forbidding that. We're just going to hear Scott Steiner calling me F slurs while he hears us talking about mommy wrist next door. He's like, you're running my line away, bud. You got to stop. So yeah. Hope's Exorcist.
00:51:55
Speaker
Pope's Exorcist, great, great transition. So have either of you guys seen it?
00:51:59
Speaker
my wife has and she was actually gonna take my place tonight so that the two of you could chat up Pope's Exorcist. Honestly, this is gonna probably be a quicker segment. I had fully anticipated this being like the majority episode, even despite the incredible wrestling of the last week. But it's one of those movies that actually it's like kind of not so bad it's good. Like it's neither as bad as I thought without actually being good. It's just kind of meh.
00:52:28
Speaker
I will say there is, it starts with an R rating for nudity amongst other things, which I wasn't expecting in the Pope's Exorcist. I texted you guys when I was starting the movie saying, oh, the way they're talking about it, I don't think the Pope is going to be in this actual movie and have a big role. But no, the Pope has a decent sized role in the film. Not the real Pope, by the way, an actor playing the Pope.
00:52:52
Speaker
I'm more surprised that you saw the nudity and was surprised. Like if you've seen the news, the Catholic Church, like especially like around the Vatican, there's some fucking problems there, man. Yeah, they didn't. So that is true. I've heard that. There's like Russell Crowe's Russell Crowe's like assistant. I don't know. Sidekick, whatever you want to call him, who's another. So Russell Crowe is the pope's exorcist, as the name implies.
00:53:18
Speaker
Oh, I know. And he speaks Italian for the first 20 to 30 minutes of the movie. And then there's literally just one scene with like an odd like, so again, he's the Pope's exorcist. They're in the fucking Vatican. And for some reason, there's like the Council of Bishops.
00:53:36
Speaker
And like one of them comes in and it's like, oh, this is like the head bishop, the second most powerful guy to the pope himself, who's inexplicitly just some like 26 year old American. And he's just like enough of the fucking Italian. Where do you think we are? We're in the Vatican. You're going to speak English. And then for the rest, we're not some fucking mommy risted bitches. Yeah. Start speaking American. God damn it.
00:54:02
Speaker
I can even speak that Australian, I know you're Russell Crowe, you're not really Italian. And then he goes to the rest of the movie just speaking English with an Italian accent. His assistant, I think is just, I wanna say is British? Because whatever, that makes sense. You need someone who's not American, but needs to speak English, you go with someone British, okay, whatever. But that guy loves to fuck. And that's where the nudity comes in. But he doesn't fuck kids.
00:54:27
Speaker
So this is like, you know, they wanted the Catholic Church to be okay with this movie. The movie's not accurate is what you're saying. Well, I'm just saying, well, and I'm gonna get to the accuracy because that is pertinent. But yeah, this priest loves to fuck, but fucks women, fucks adult women.
00:54:45
Speaker
They want you to know that. So anyway, so it starts in the scene where he does an exorcism thing. It's kind of not really explained like I think it says where it is like Spain or something, whatever. Bray Wyatt's house. Yeah, but they don't like they don't tell you when it is. Right. It's just so I had just kind of thought this movie was either modern day
00:55:05
Speaker
or like really old-timey, like took place in like the 14th century or something like that. And it's neither because then after kind of the preludes, so they start with just like an exorcism scene. And then it cuts to our other main characters, which is an American family in a Volkswagen that just moved to Italy because the dead dad is dead, but apparently owned through his family some property that has an old church
00:55:34
Speaker
in somewhere in Italy and it's 1987. And I'm just like, and I'm like, why the fuck did they make this movie take place in 1987?
Creative Movie Sponsorship Ideas
00:55:45
Speaker
Was it just like the music? Cause like you can play 80s music.
00:55:47
Speaker
And I'll say. Was it like a leftover maybe like this like a Stranger Things sequel movie that they just. I don't know because they have like the one kid like just has his headphones all the time. They're like, oh, he hasn't talked since his dad died. He was in the car when his dad got hit. And that's all I could think of was like, but like you could just give him like beats headphones or something, right? It's just he's. Does that kid get an exorcism?
00:56:10
Speaker
Oh, that kid absolutely gets an exorcism later in the movie. Oh no, every character- From the Pope's exorcist buddy who fags claims isn't fucking exercising kids. Every single character in this movie has at least one of the two traits. Either an exorcism is performed on them or they perform an exorcism. At least one. Because I can tell you that they're definitely characters that are on both sides of that equation.
00:56:37
Speaker
Um, but, but, and without spoiling too much, I will say this, so then the movie ends like really abruptly. Like I remember like there is a climax, like, you know, evil is whatever. And then there's kind of like this scene, which I guess is a denouement. I thought it was just kind of like treading water. Like, Oh, clearly like that wasn't the last battle.
00:56:58
Speaker
And then the movie just ends. And I'm like, Oh, I guess that was the last battle. And that is just a day new montage. Everybody's happy. Just it's literally just Russell Crowe, like having coffee with the Pope and just like, man, that sure ended well. Glad that then it cuts to black and it has text on a screen saying like,
00:57:20
Speaker
Father Crow was an exorcist until the day he died in like 2013 or whatever. And I'm like, what the, wait, they're telling me this is a true fucking story. So I still haven't heard of it. I had no fucking idea, but it makes it so much more ridiculous that even though it wasn't so bad, it's good. Now that I know it's supposed to be based on true story, I have to see it again. I have to.
00:57:46
Speaker
Well, the trailer for it says, based on the actual diaries from the Pope's Exorcist. And again, I know I saw that commercial 7,000 times during WrestleMania, but the problem is there's so many goddamn commercials during WrestleMania, I just tune them all out. I couldn't remember if the Pope thing actually happened or the Snickers thing actually happened. And then I ate a Snickers. Leah did want me to say to you, her favorite part of the movie, Leah and I are,
00:58:14
Speaker
huge fans of movies where you get to hear the titular line, where somebody says the title of the movie. Oh, it's early in this one. Yeah, she said that her and her friend, when they saw it in theaters and like some fucking cardinal or something turns and he's like. It's the American cardinal, the 28 year old American. Oh, no, no, it's the other cardinal responding to the American cardinal. Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:58:37
Speaker
says something along the lines or something about a demon. He goes, this is the Pope's exorcist. And Leah said that her and her friend cheered in the theater when they said the line. Oh, and then she didn't say, and then the follow up to that. So it's the inexplicably young American head bishop is like, who the fuck are you? Then one of the older actually seems like they could be a bishop, not American kind of, I don't know, they didn't say where he's from, but had some kind of accent.
00:59:06
Speaker
says the Pope's exegesis and then Russell Crowe gets up and goes, if you got a problem with my tactics, go talk to my boss. And then leaves because his boss pointed to the sky. He was his boss. I think the Pope. Oh, his actual boss. Yeah, but I mean, his boss, his actual boss is the Pope. Yeah. But then, like, it's funny, it was him and the Pope. Like, I think they were going to make a sequel. That's just a buddy film of him and the Pope, which is going on a road trip.
00:59:34
Speaker
Just he's in the front, the Pope's on the back of the Vespa. It's just going to be like that Steve Coogan movie The Trip. It's just going to be him and the Pope going to try out different foods in Spain. The Trip to Spain. Doing different Michael Caine impression. Exactly. But it's Russell Crowe doing a Roman accent doing a Michael Caine impression. Mm.
00:59:59
Speaker
Well, now that you've seen it, what upcoming movie do you think should sponsor a match next? Well, honestly, I actually just saw this week, I saw Renfield, finally. Did you see Renfield, either of you? I did. I wish that they had, because I love that movie. That movie was fantastic. I think the Barbie movie should sponsor the next all women's pay-per-view.
01:00:27
Speaker
or just Alexa Bliss's career. That would be WWE. Well, you know what? Actually, I got an internet ad for this and I was super hyped. Heels season two is coming out. So they should actually promote that on AEW, you know.
01:00:45
Speaker
And I loved heels season one. It was great. And I think any wrestling fan would really like it. I saw for Prime Day, which is now passed by the time you're listening to this, but you two have like an hour to get in on it. They have, you know, two months of stars for ninety nine cents. So you can watch season one and at least the beginning of season two of then all of party down.
01:01:09
Speaker
Oh, I didn't remember that. I didn't actually watch that that last season. I haven't seen that last because I don't have stars. But now I've got I've got two shows to watch. That's I definitely subscribe to things for less than two shows. Yeah. Now that I finally finished Better Call Saul, I still am paying for DVD Netflix, even though and this is true, they have stopped ordering new movies.
01:01:30
Speaker
So like literally you cannot get a new movie. The Super Mario Brothers movie was the last movie they got in disc form. If you try to add a movie that isn't out, it's just, we'll say that this movie doesn't exist. And they destroyed my entire save queue, which I'm not.
01:01:47
Speaker
So you aren't the only person I know that still had that my buddy Fusco that I worked with at Warner Brothers He like loved being part of the I still have discs community and there were like multiple times he got interviewed by publications that are like
01:02:03
Speaker
So you're still watching discs So the reason you had to be like, yeah, I'm actually probably canceling this week because it was literally like Renfield and There was another movie I saw just oh John wick for like those were kind of less because everything still comes out on blu-ray so basically you can still like no matter what streaming services I have and
01:02:26
Speaker
It was like DVD Netflix is about the same price as a streaming service and has every movie. So like I would still get it now that I'm doing that, I'm going to cancel. Although I did just look at my cue, the number one movie in my queue. So maybe I'll wait to get this one is something that I think they should maybe sponsor like all in because Tony Khan, cocaine bear, because, you know, Tony Khan, he's a cocaine bear.
01:02:55
Speaker
Get that out of your gear, you got a peacock subscription, just watch it. If I thought that I could get peacock to actually successfully play the movie, I would. But there's nothing in my experience with peacock that gives me the confidence that it's not worth just getting it from a separate service. The facts is froze.
01:03:18
Speaker
Well, last night I went to see a band that I loved so much in high school and through college that actually did at one point put out a pro wrestling themed record. Is this the Mountain Goats? It is the Mountain Goats. Have you ever been a listener of them? Not huge, but I heard some of the songs in the wrestling record.
01:03:44
Speaker
Yeah, that great song. I mean, isn't there even a song on that one called pipe bomb? Like isn't there? I think so. Yeah. Like song. There's the man. There's there's some some really good songs on that. It's really nice when a band just knows you and just makes a record that is so geared towards you specifically. Yeah. They thank you in the letter notes. Right.
01:04:07
Speaker
Yeah, he did. He said, thank you for listening, but we did this for even the new record. They did a whole concept record on 70s and 80s action movies. That's what they're touring right now. So. Fax is back. Yeah, I don't know if we can splice this in because I just thought of another funny movie sponsorship.
01:04:29
Speaker
So here's my big pitch for movie sponsorship would be for the Prince and Saudi Arabia's benefit. The next Blood Money Show, we sponsor by 80s for Brady. And we just, cause they're like, oh, these are the new hot young actresses. Yeah. Ah yes, I was just watching, I was just watching Smokey and the Band at the other day. Can you get Sally Field over here for me?
01:05:00
Speaker
She's still young and supple, right? What's that hot chick from Clute? Can you get her? I hear she is married to a very famous wrestling executive. Maybe he could, you know, we add, we do some deals here. So who just bought the WCW? Right, yes.
01:05:27
Speaker
Like I usually have to listen to these to know what the title's gonna be, but the title of this, it's that hot chick from Clute. That actually got like a sting laugh out of me. Good movie by the way, let's just check out Clute if you haven't seen it. It's like 72, 73. I think Donald Sutherland is kind of a noir situation kind of thing.
01:05:58
Speaker
Right now, I'm only doing erotic thrillers. So, unless Donald Sutherland's hanging in some dong, I don't know if I'll be there. Honestly, I wouldn't rule it out. I don't think I would call that an erotic thriller though. It's definitely more of like a neo-noir from the 70s, right? When they were really cranking those out, high quality.
