Podcast Introduction and Guest
00:00:34
Speaker
Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Predetermined, a pro wrestling hangout. I'm your host, Garrett Callender, and with me, a very special guest, returning, Hardway Heater. Hey, wait, I thought it was nice boys who like deathmatch wrestling. I meant to say Predetermined presents nice boys who like deathmatch wrestling and also New Girl. Yeah, also New Girl. We also love New Girl. You still watching New Girl?
00:00:58
Speaker
I think I'm on like my fifth or sixth. Like go through, I think we're like season four. Like my favorite season is like it gets round three or four like where like you can really see the characters kind of settling in.
TV Show 'New Girl' and Wrestling Characters
00:01:15
Speaker
And like it's like after all the Dr. Sam stuff. Like I like post Nick and Jess breakup.
00:01:26
Speaker
I love that part of New Girl because everybody's just kind of walking around with their hands like, oh no, what to do? Winston's the most Winston he's going to be because he just gets weirder through the show, coaches back. That's my favorite era of New Girl.
00:01:43
Speaker
Can I pitch a new girl themed wrestling character to you to pitch to somebody else? Absolutely. Do you remember the episode where they're doing the bachelor party for, why can't I? Oh, the guys are- Are you saying dirt boy? Not dirt boy, not dirt boy, Toby.
00:02:08
Speaker
Toby, Toby, Toby, I'm Toby, my name's Toby. Yeah, just like loud brash man who drives a big truck. Honestly, he might already be a wrestler. Right. And he fights an XPW. Right. He's going to start coming out with MAGA butcher and they're just going to, you know, they're going to take the world store.
Controversial Wrestling Figures Discussion
00:02:31
Speaker
I got sent multiple times today that Schlack and Magabutcher are going at it. I got questions, is Schlack leaving XPW? I say no. I say no, no, no. Schlack can't leave XPW. Buddy, you take that booking. I love you, but I'm not your manager. I don't know where else to go. I'm going to be real honest here.
00:02:58
Speaker
If Slack leaves XPW, Rob Black is going to find himself in the exact same situation that he found himself in. And let's call it 2007. Like he's giving away porn to the boys. I mean, honestly, the inclusion of Slack
00:03:21
Speaker
Is what got me to tune in before I even knew like I yeah, I know I know Hold on now now not like it's fuck raw black all day forever But did you see? The necro butcher Dilf boy Match, okay from the show like two days ago
00:03:44
Speaker
So I think I'm confused on what happened. Somebody said it just was a fist fight. The way I would describe that match, because it got brought up to me in a group chat, and they were like, you gotta watch this. And I was like, okay. This was on XPW? Yeah, it was on XPW. Fight Plus? No, no, no, no, no. YouTube.
00:04:07
Speaker
I thought this is YouTube. This is you tubable. And I saw when I saw it, I was like, man, I don't really want to give Rob Black a click. But it was recommended very highly that I should watch this.
00:04:26
Speaker
Garrett, when I say that it was at a booked assault, that is exactly what this is. It is insane. Don't support XPW, but you need to see this match.
00:04:45
Speaker
I know with some YouTube, if it is at a certain level of violence, you can't monetize it. So it's possible that you're giving them nothing for clicking this. I don't want to be the guy that's like support them, but I don't know what I gave them for clicking on them on fight. I don't know.
00:05:02
Speaker
Also, I scrubbed the video to get to just the match because I was given a timestamp.
WWE Management Changes
00:05:08
Speaker
It's a long video. So what I would say is that I have no idea what type of misinformation comes before that that they've probably already been flagged for.
00:05:18
Speaker
So who is it? It's Necro and a wrestler named Dilfboy. And why do we not like Dilfboy? I don't know. What did Dilfboy do? No idea. And to be honest, if he is getting beat up in the XPW locker room, either what he did was really good or really, really bad. Yeah, it's got to be one or the other.
00:05:40
Speaker
Yeah, at XVW, quote unquote, anything goes. Even the Randy Orton shitting in the bag. That could have been like Dolph Boy's move. He's like, day one, I gotta make my mark. So I'm gonna get beat up by an old MAGA man on YouTube. Just, I mean, there is
00:06:02
Speaker
a wild amount of just full-blown punches. Is Dilfboy fighting back? I mean, is he attempting to fight back? And if I Google Dilfboy, will I?
Batista's Hollywood Transition and Advocacy
00:06:35
Speaker
Fighting back is that's a relative term because what what butcher is doing The way I would describe dill foy is not meeting the energy that you are receiving So he is met with a just a fury of punches just I mean not a fury just a
00:06:45
Speaker
Am I going to jail?
00:07:00
Speaker
very strong to the chin. Oh, he's like, get it. How long is this? I want to say like, oh, boy. This is Delph boy. Yeah. I'm on his rest. So he's Delph boy. Dalton. Dalton. Oh, it says as seen
Origin of No-Ring Wrestling Shows
00:07:20
Speaker
on GCW, he had that had to have been a backyard or maybe he was at wombat.
00:07:26
Speaker
that he's a real wombat. He got a real wombat look. I'm gonna show you this photo. What are you gonna do when you see him? Is he just wrestling punching back now? Did he make his name that night?
00:07:45
Speaker
Yes, he made his name. I know who Dilfboy is now, but I would argue for all the wrong reasons. Okay, okay. Because number one, you accepted a match with an absolute garbage human like Necro Butcher. I get it, like Necro, he's like really fond all out of us in the deathmatch community. We love Necro, but like let's not look past the fact that he's kind of a shitbag.
00:08:15
Speaker
I guess all I know is that at the beginning of this podcast, like deep towards the beginning, when we first, like maybe first like 20 episodes we started watching Deathmatch, I think Derek made fun of Necro Butcher. And the only one star review this podcast ever got was from a Necro Butcher fan. Who has, who didn't. Hey, hey Necro Butcher fan, welcome back.
00:08:44
Speaker
He just, I think it said, you disrespected Papa Necro, one star. And then a couple years later it went away. I think they decided, we were on the right side of history. You're gonna have that one star review back. It's gonna be great and you'll know exactly why because we're talking about Necro again. Rob Black's gonna get me on this one. I mean, hey, you know what?
00:09:09
Speaker
Worst men have tried. Oh shit. So on your way here, the wrestling world got hit with some weird news that I don't give a
Promotion for Upcoming KOBK Show
00:09:24
Speaker
shit about.
00:09:25
Speaker
because like Stephanie McMahon, I resigned like a year or two ago. But yeah, Stephanie McMahon stepped down and then a few minutes later, Papa Vince is back as the chairman of the board. Yeah, the executive. Just like fucking Carrot Top.
00:09:45
Speaker
He's coming on that wild VHS cover on a surfboard with like the love interest and the guy who's like crossed arms being like, I don't like your style of management. Yeah, he's back. Vince McMahon's back, baby.
00:10:05
Speaker
If you were still watching that show you had a good run, you know There's somebody who's like pumped if I had if I had Stephanie man's telephone number. Mm-hmm. I would send her one gift Gift and it would just be John McClain in diehard where he's saying welcome to the party pal Because we all already left
Anticipation for Upcoming Matches
00:10:27
Speaker
like filthy casual stick around and that's fine like wrestling so like WWE so synonymous with just wrestling that like a lot of people call wrestling WWE and when somebody finds out you're a wrestling fan or a wrestler yes immediately they're like oh you're
00:10:48
Speaker
Like WWE? Do you know Dave Batista? I don't know Dave Batista, but I do hear he has a large dick. That's awesome. You know what? Good for him. For a long time, I thought The Rock would be the guy that would maybe be the wrestler to win an Oscar.
00:11:09
Speaker
But he has continued to be shitty. Big Dave put in the work. He's taking shitty roles with De Niro, he's taking shitty roles with Bruce Willis, but he's working with him, and he's learning from him, and he gets to be in big fucking movies. And now he's in a movie where he's getting monologues. Which is great, because like, Drax is easy.
00:11:32
Speaker
just be funny and big. I love it. Yeah. Yeah. Great. You know, and if that is as far as it ever went, I would still go, you know what? Congratulations to Batista. But now, like, like he was in the most recent one of the most recent James Bond movies. Yeah. He doesn't have speaking parts in it. He's hanging out. He's there. He's hanging out. He's there. He's hanging out with Daniel Craig, my favorite Bond.
00:12:01
Speaker
so like he's getting like he kind of like like I feel like Batista kind of snuck into Hollywood he really did and the fact that not only is he talented he has a large penis right and like
00:12:17
Speaker
Seems like a good do. Yeah. Like any time anything negative has said about the LGBTQ community, Big Dave is on it. Yeah. And I love that. Carrot covered up a Manny Pacquiao tattoo because he was upset with the things that Manny Pacquiao said that were transphobic or homophobic. I can't remember which. He said one or the other.
00:12:39
Speaker
What did Big Dave do in a past life to get to be a rich, talented movie star with a huge hog? I don't know. Like, he had to be like a monk, or? And think what somebody else had to do in a past life to come back as Dolph Boy. Right. Right. Um.
00:13:05
Speaker
You would think, you would think that Batista would be Nolan Boyd from Hollywood just from this sheer amount of tribal tattoos he has.
00:13:15
Speaker
Doesn't seem to stop Hollywood. You know, and you know, Affleck got that giant Phoenix tattoo on his back when he got out of rehab. Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot about Ben Affleck's horrible back piece, which with that honest to God, what he did is he created jobs in Hollywood because now if he is shirtless in a movie,
00:13:36
Speaker
somebody has to spend like two hours covering that shit up to make him look like when I watched his did you watch it came out over Covid the Cucken movie no I didn't watch the Cucken movie I didn't watch the Cucken movie it was great Anna de Armas she's Cucken Affleck and it's great sexy thrillers are back go reindeer games let's go
00:14:03
Speaker
But yeah, WW, you know what? Who gives a shit? What you're here to talk about, not that shit. 13 minutes into this podcast, we're finally dropping this. There is a show, if you're listening to this as it airs, there is a show this Saturday.
00:14:22
Speaker
in Nashville, Tennessee at Cobra, K-O-B-K, sold out. Not sold out, like it's still tickets available. It's not sold out, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can absolutely still buy tickets. And do. To buy tickets, to buy pre-sale tickets, go to Twitter and go to at K-O-B-K fed and all the information is right there. Is that a Kevin Federline joke?
00:14:51
Speaker
Is that land? Is that a listen? I can't.
Challenges in KOBK Wrestling
00:15:01
Speaker
I can't be the person that confirms or denies that Kevin Federline is in KOVK. But I can't pose out, motherfucker.
00:15:15
Speaker
Damn it. But yeah, we have a show coming this Saturday. We're doing a no ring show. So I noticed that I think last week you guys were talking about the show and Chris asked why no ring. Yeah. So that is actually a fun story. So we had our first sold out show was in December of twenty twenty one.
00:15:43
Speaker
Chattanooga, right? Yeah, Chattanooga. And before the show, Brett did a seminar, you know, helped, you know, work with people, stuff like that. After the seminar, we were changing out the canvas because the canvas that we were on had a big TWE logo. And
00:16:06
Speaker
We're not TWE, so we figured, okay, let's switch out the canvas. We'll tighten up the ropes. We'll just kind of do the ring checks. While we're doing ring checks, one of the welds on the frame of the TWE ring breaks. And this is, let's call it an hour and a half before showtime. Okay.
00:16:33
Speaker
And this ring is now setting with one of the posts. Just like not. Quite at a 45 degree angle, pretty fucking close. And we just kind of it was it was one of those moves where it was like, OK, well, we can with the two options here. Number one. Because we tried to we tried to do multiple things and none of it was working, it was one cancel the show.
KOBK Show Details and Surprises
00:17:03
Speaker
Well, we had pre-sales. There were people. There were already people like at I think. So if the show started at eight, there were people lined up at about six. Somebody was drinking the parking lot. Listen, KOBK shows. Traditionally, KOBK shows have been BYOB.
00:17:21
Speaker
So we like to give a real tailgate atmosphere before the show starts because that's, you know, like me and everybody else in KOBK kind of comes from that punk rock world of like, you know, punk rock rules. You drink in the parking lot because number one, the man's not going to hold us down and we're not going to pay those goddamn beer prices at the fucking bar. Now, that's not to say about this next show. Please buy all the booze you want at the Cobra.
00:17:49
Speaker
but so the idea was okay well people are already here we were having kind of like outside everybody's having a good time in the parking lot they're having a great time i only know this because of kelly because she was like nobody's any the wiser that the ring is broken so we are
00:18:15
Speaker
panicking and okay can we get a ring somewhere else so we call around to see if there's any rings that were remotely close because the thing about transferring uh transporting a ring it's not super easy no this is
Review of Chris Miggs' Match
00:18:28
Speaker
like trailers and involves trailers people probably have to lift right exactly
00:18:33
Speaker
I mean, I don't know anyone with a ring. Like, no, I needed a ring in an hour. No one is coming to my head. Right. So so as a wrestler. Yeah. Same. I don't have I don't have a ring within an hour of being currently. That I can get so.
00:18:52
Speaker
We so we panic. We hit the panic button. We call a KOBK meeting. We start talking and Brett says well people are already here.
00:19:07
Speaker
The only thing there is to do is to have a no ring show. So we end up tossing the mat down. We ended up getting a hold of Danny and struggles of ICW because
Episode Wrap-Up and Thanks
00:19:20
Speaker
they had just ran. Chattanooga. So it was it felt kind of like we should probably reach out and say something that, hey, the ring broke. We're not just trying to. We're not talking your shit. We got to take it to the. Yeah, we got to take it to the pit.
00:19:38
Speaker
They gave the okay, they were very okay with it. So we end up running that show and I will say that I think from a perspective of the locker room, everybody kind of just stepped up and was like, okay, this is what we're doing now.
00:20:00
Speaker
But I think that I can speak for myself. In the back of my head, I was like, it's ruined. Everything is, it's all ruined.
00:20:14
Speaker
But the fans really showed up and they were super receptive and crowded the ring, which was awesome. And it gave it just a different feeling of like, oh, this feels underground. This feels it feels dangerous. The way the way that when I spoke to people in the crowd after that show was that show felt dangerous.
00:20:39
Speaker
like not from like a a like i'm gonna get hurt but from like a you're now in a a quote unquote dangerous situation like something that shouldn't be happening is happening which was awesome that made like that was amazing so from that point forward we all made a decision that regardless of whether we can get a ring or not
00:21:04
Speaker
every sold out show will be in a no ring setting. Hell yeah. Because that way we like in the wildest part about that is is for us sold out is like our WrestleMania. It's like our here I go again using WWE terms. You're part of the problem. Yeah, you're right. It's our big show. It's the show and it will always be our big show. Everything builds to this. Yeah, everything builds to this.
00:21:32
Speaker
But for that it's kind of like okay so now that's the new expectation so where it sold out to. And it just made sense to bring it to the cobra.
00:21:45
Speaker
I like that, because the TWE arena is like more of like, it's set up better for wrestling. Like it's more of a box. This is a, so are you doing it in the venue part of the Cobra or are we brawling throughout the whole Cobra? We are, well, it is through the venue part of, we will start in the venue part of the Cobra and whatever happens happens.
00:22:12
Speaker
Bar shows, that's what I've been trying to tell friends that aren't even wrestling fans. It goes from being at a wrestling show to feeling like you're in a situation. The first one I ever went to was in Vegas. I went to a suburban fight.
00:22:33
Speaker
And I believe the main event was Nick Gage versus Darby Allen. Let's fucking go. And I mean throughout like Orange Cassidy and like there's a lot of people but that I remember. And it was just the place is packed but like you're moving trying to see the fight but then there'll be times where you're trying to avoid the fight.
00:22:54
Speaker
If the wrestlers are coming towards you, get the fuck out of the way. And it's such a unique experience where the vibe is just so completely different. It's a brawl. It's not a traditional wrestling show.
00:23:13
Speaker
Like the way I always because my love of being in no ring kind of came from no peace underground because they were one of the first no ring companies that use me. And I kind of just like it's different. It's just a different feeling. And the way the only way I can describe it, even in the crowd, because I've been to no ring shows, the only way to describe it is is like. If you listen to heavy music,
00:23:42
Speaker
And like that fan base's favorite song comes on.
00:23:51
Speaker
and you're on the ground, there's a potential that the pit is going to include you for a second. It's just gonna happen. You can get out of the way, stuff like that, but that's how it always feels. Every no ring death mat show I've ever been to kind of feels like the anticipation of is the pit gonna happen where I'm standing. Absolutely, absolutely.
00:24:17
Speaker
I don't know. It is. It's so fucking fun. I am. I'm really pumped that you guys are bringing this year. And also you did me such a huge favor. I would say 2022 my wrestler of the year is my
00:24:35
Speaker
I'm getting, I'm blushing right now. Soyarek, she is my deathmatch girlfriend. She just doesn't know it. My wife knows it. She also knows that I've got, I like Elizabeth the Bicky, a very tall actress as well. Soyarek is deathmatch the Bicky. She is punk rock, tall, bloody, lover to death. I'm so happy that you brought her to Nashville.
00:25:04
Speaker
Okay, so this is kind of the way we look at these things is
00:25:11
Speaker
Everybody, traditionally everybody, there's a few exceptions. It's always fuck Nick Iggy. There are a few exceptions, but most people that we use on KOBK shows are people that we see as of our brand, of our tribe, if it makes sense, like people who are willing to do the same things that we do.
00:25:40
Speaker
you know getting in a car for 10 hours to drive one way to work to to maybe not even work to just show face so that you can turn around and drive back um but these are all that that is something that is shared throughout everybody who's in a kobk um locker room the reason why because i became a soyurek fan uh i want to say it must have been
00:26:11
Speaker
the fear the gay agenda show at no peace. Yeah. The the one the main event with Paro and Effie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That show. She was in the MV young scramble or battle royal. I can't remember what the stipulations of that that match were. What I do remember is so your rec is so your rec's music hitting.
00:26:37
Speaker
and it was Dreamweaver and everything was slow motion. And she bolted out the curtain and threw the hardest elbow I've ever seen thrown right in MV Young's face. And I went, I'm a fan of her immediately.
00:26:58
Speaker
I'm trying to remember if I was that show before after the Indianapolis deathmatch weekend in 2021. I think it was before.
00:27:10
Speaker
So I guess I probably saw her on that show, but seeing her in person at the Indianapolis show, that was the first like, like it stuck with me where I was like, holy fuck, like she's different. I, she's fucking bad. Like, yeah. Yeah. She like, she's, she's like, she really does stick out in your mind and she's wrestling.
00:27:32
Speaker
fucking Billy Starks. It's such a bizarre but perfect pairing. Especially to be in a no ring. Like Billy Starks, who we've been watching since she was...
00:27:48
Speaker
15, 16. How old was she? She was like 15, 16. I think she started training at 14. I might be wrong about that, but I think she started training at 14. And she, I assume she's 18 or getting close because I saw that she's doing stuff with like MLW. She turned 18, I think earlier last month.
00:28:08
Speaker
So she's old enough to bleed all over a dive bar in Nashville. You fucking right. You like you really knocked this one. You guys knocked this one out of the park like this. To me this is like such a fucking main event and the fact that you know GCW wanted that shit. Oh yeah. You know like there's other companies that wanted to book this shit first and you guys.
00:28:34
Speaker
You guys made it to the point. We were just a little bit quicker. That is going to be a banger. If you are in Nashville and you are not at this show and you have any interest in pro wrestling at all, what the fuck are you doing? Get there. Go there. Come to the Copra. We're nice people. We're nice people over there. You might get Billy Stark's blood on you.
00:28:59
Speaker
I've never thought that's a thing I would say. You will also definitely probably get my blood on you. You sign an autograph in your blood? 1000%. So I'm wearing your merch right now.
00:29:15
Speaker
We've been friends a while. Are you gonna be mad if I'm wearing Sawyer Rex merch that night? Not at all. Just know I have your merch. Hey, I know you have my merch. You've already done the heavy lifting of buying the merch. It's here. I'm wearing it in front of you. You're wearing it in front of me. So now when you wear the Sawyer Rex merch, I'm gonna be fine. I'll be okay. It's so that when she sees me that I can be like,
00:29:41
Speaker
Huh? You're on my shirt. I wouldn't do that in a concert, but I feel like in wrestling, there's different rules. There's different rules. You show the wrestler that you're supporting them. The Beastie Boys didn't need to see you.
00:30:00
Speaker
Like, yeah, you can- Yeah, Adrock didn't need to know that you bought a kanga hat with the Beastie Boys logo on it. It's like, Adrock. He goes, you know, what the fuck do I care? He's like, you paid $100 to come to Madison Square Garden. I know you're here for me. But yeah, no, I need-
00:30:19
Speaker
I need soy erecta no I am rooting against Billy Starks and that's something I've not one time ever done we really did create a situation where it is hard like it's gonna be hard for anybody in that crowd to choose a favorite
00:30:37
Speaker
Because we've been here for Billy's entire career. We've seen Billy Stark's from starting to now. And Billy's an amazing wrestler. We all know that. But we put her in Sawyer Rex Arena. We put her in a situation that I know Sawyer succeeds at.
00:31:02
Speaker
Because that's how I met Sawyer. I met Billy back in the Bizarro days. But I met Sawyer at a No Peace show. And I was like, oh, you get it? Like, I think what's funny watching her is you can see how much she enjoys.
00:31:23
Speaker
pro wrestling in a way that if she went on WWE's tough enough in 1998, Bob Holly would be screaming at her for smiling. But I think there's something about somebody who is bleeding and making someone else bleed.
00:31:41
Speaker
but they're smiling. It's a bit different. It's unsettling and don't tell her not to smile. Exactly. Don't stop that. Just leave her alone and let her gush all over the front row and make these dudes bleed or whoever. Also on the card, I thought this was interesting.
00:32:11
Speaker
Hardway Heater versus Hoodfoot. If I recall going back a ways, there was a weekend I was headed to a Garth Brooks concert and you broke your neck. And if I remember correctly, one Hoodfoot ended up in a spot that you were gonna be in.
00:32:35
Speaker
Yes. Right. Like he ended up getting it being the replacement for you. Well, Merrick ended up being the replacement for me and and Futures. OK, but but but Hoodfoot was there were points where there were from what I understand. There were points where ideas and bookings. Were kind of thrown around, tossed around for me.
00:33:03
Speaker
And I was on the shelf like I was you. You saw me. I was you beat the fuck up and I was and I can say it now and I'm fine. Everybody know I'm fine. But I was a pilled out mess like and not like in like I'm addicted, but like not in a Robert Downey Jr. waking up on the lawn, a very prescribed like, hey, you just had major neck surgery. But I was on all the medication and
00:33:31
Speaker
there's a there's about a four to five month period of my life that's kind of a blur but like for the better honestly like shit probably fucking hurt like I think I told you I think I've told you the story I don't know if I've told on the podcast but during that during the energy during during the energy during the injury
00:33:52
Speaker
I had a moment where I was putting ice into my cup at my house that I live with with my wife. And I was putting ice into my cup so I'm in the freezer and there was a frozen burrito in there because I was injured and there was like there was only a certain amount of time that I could stand up before I like started to get exhausted because I just I had to lay down a lot. Yeah.
00:34:20
Speaker
So I would get exhausted but there was frozen burrito so that I could pop in there, put it in the oven and go way back down. That the frozen burrito fell out of the freezer and I looked at it, I looked at Kelly. Now this is, I would say 50% the pills.
00:34:41
Speaker
but 50% the real feelings that I had. And I looked at Kelly and do you remember the old don't litter commercials with the Native American, the single tier? I looked at Kelly with a single tier and I said, I can't pick it up. And she was like, it's okay. I'll take care of it. But that was my mental state at the time. Like I was not in a good spot.
00:35:10
Speaker
But I'm better now, obviously. But yeah, he's there. There were some there were some things that like I think given no injury, I think that like there was no stopping hood foot. There was zero stopping hood. He is. He is a force of nature. He has.
00:35:30
Speaker
The way he has moved in the wrestling landscape in the last, what, year and a half? Yeah, about a year and a half. Two years? I mean, he was, when Eric Stevens originally retired, because I think he's back now, but that's neither here nor there. When Eric Stevens originally retired, his last match was against Hoodfoot. No shit. Yeah.
00:35:55
Speaker
I don't know if this was the year though that like he was showing up at like what the GCW tournaments and like you just you started at you know like he like I mean it was hard you were hard-pressed to turn on your streaming service with wrestling and not see Hood Foot unless it was AEW or WWE.
00:36:19
Speaker
as I mean especially if you are into deathmatch in the slightest 1000% you were seeing in 2022 you saw hood foot and I did learn his weakness though if you want what is it if you want to yes game plan over this
00:36:34
Speaker
Stab him. Slade figured it out. I got a I got a good story about that. So like it's no secret across the Internet that that me myself and.
00:36:55
Speaker
Hoodfoot, kind of do the nobody's favorite thing. Hoodfoot and I have just kind of, Hoodfoot and I have wrestled probably 15 times. Especially at the very beginning, you guys were just like. Him and I were both pre-show paradigm guys. We both worked for Paradigm Pro Wrestling. We both were pre-show guys. We were on before the cameras were on. And we did that for, oh god.
00:37:24
Speaker
a year, a year-ish. And so like me and him just kind of built a friendship out of, I would, the way I always describe it is a friendship out of violence. Like, like I always knew that with Hood Foote, we were gonna have a good match. And there was gonna be things that if I was wrestling anybody else, I would have to apologize for.
00:37:49
Speaker
but because it's hood for I don't have to apologize about it like he's like I get it like so me and him have wrestled multiple times with that being said
00:38:01
Speaker
Hoodfoot hit this stride where he started getting the GCW, the ICW. And then like it did, like I said, it felt like he was everywhere. And I was sitting on the shelf. I was injured. I was hurt. You know, there was, there was a similar path that I was kind of following. Like, like we were nipping at each other's heels.
00:38:24
Speaker
for a long time, like he would go one place and I would go another place and then we would have a conversation where he was like, well, I want to be there. And I was like, well, I want to be there. So we were always trying to like like we were trying to keep up with each other. It was a real fun like like. Friendship competitiveness was a healthy rival. Yeah, it was a healthy rivalry. But the thing that OK, so the thing that me and Hoodfoot do best together.
00:38:54
Speaker
is drink beer and fight each other. It's the two things we're best at friendship wise is we're really great drinking partners and friends and we're really good in enacting violence on each other. So I know that he needs to be stabbed. So it was SCI this last year.
00:39:23
Speaker
And I'd come in, I wasn't on the SEI, I was on the future show, but I'd come in a day early to kind of check out some of the matches and, you know, hang out with, hang out with the, hang out with the people. Um, I'm hanging out and at the end of the night, Hoodfoot's standing there. I want to say he was talking to a couple fans.
00:39:46
Speaker
And I walk up to him and he's doing this and he's holding up his arm and he's showing where the injury is on his arm. And I walked up to him and I pointed at it and I was like, that's super sick. Where'd you get that done? You know, as if it were a tattoo. And he said, and I quote, I know a guy.
00:40:15
Speaker
And I remember, we had a hearty laugh about it. And then I remember thinking and saying to him, I'm glad that we're at a position now where you can laugh about it. Because as a person who was watching that show from the comfort of his home, horrified. I thought you were losing that fucking arm.
00:40:42
Speaker
if I recall, because it was, I don't remember the city, I don't remember the specific show, it was him and Slade, and they broke light tubes, and it was like, Slade was that motherfucker. Growing up, you were, let's say you're 10 years old, you want to have a sword fight with a friend, but you want to do the fucking swashbuckling, you want to do lightsabers back and forth, but you know that one motherfucker,
00:41:08
Speaker
who just stabbed straight at you. And he's like, motherfucker, have you watched wrestling? That is not how you do this. But he's like, I've never seen anyone try it. And I won the match. And I also won. But yeah, yeah, yeah. So apparently, apparently, so this is kind of the fault of Slade's upbringing.
00:41:36
Speaker
He doesn't know how to have a swashbuckle sword fight. He only knows Stabby Stabby. Not enough Pirates of the Caribbean too much Friday the 13th. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. You watched a lot of Jason Voorhees. Yeah. I mean, we should have seen this coming, though, because Slade used to release promos of him in box trucks, semi like like the semi box truck.
00:42:05
Speaker
Like the back part of him just taking a knife and just stabbing it into a wall. He used to, that was a promo he cut. That was a thing. I think it's hard though with pro wrestling, especially death match to see who's cutting a promo and who's just mentally ill.
00:42:25
Speaker
So, so are you aware of the Kinsey scale? It's like, so like nobody's completely straight. Nobody's completely gay. Everybody kind of falls on the spectrum. So I would venture to say that in death match wrestling, specifically death match wrestlers, we all fall on the scale. Nobody is fully mentally
00:42:49
Speaker
Well, healthy. And that's what I say. I say, like, deathmatch wrestlers are kinda like magicians. The origin story's never happy. Like, it is, there is a certain level of sadness that got you to where you are, but you are bringing joy to people. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah, my blood is altruistic.
00:43:19
Speaker
But yeah, so me and her foot's gonna be fun. Let's get back around to it. Me and her foot's gonna be fun, we're gonna have a good time. No, that was, when I saw that match up, that was another one, it was just like, fuck yeah. Honestly, you had me at Sawyer Rec, but it was like, holy fuck, this is also happening. Honestly, that would have been enough to get me in the building, too.
00:43:42
Speaker
Honestly, like got so fucking hyped on those matches. What else? What else you got on this card? So we're going to talk about the main event last. I'll come to that here because I got some thoughts about that. But the next one that I would say is is Derek Neil, the King's Road Slayer, the real Derry Neil.
00:44:07
Speaker
and carry off on. Okay. So they had a match at our last show where Derek went up. So. I think that Kerry's coming in with a renewed sense of wanting to beat the dog shit out of Derek Neal. But we're also talking about a match between two dads.
00:44:34
Speaker
Yeah, like two fathers and you have my so it's just two dads who are like like the the the love of pro wrestling to a certain extent like it's tarnished like there's a patina on the love of pro wrestling to a certain extent violence equals money.
00:44:56
Speaker
to in both of those guys heads. Mm hmm. And you know, both pillars of the south, both guys that that are kind of synonymous with the independent wrestling scene here in the south. I mean, I carry awful would have been one of the first wrestlers I ever saw in Nashville. I would imagine. Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:14
Speaker
And and Derek and Derek is like just kind of like he's up. He's up now at anarchy at St. Louis anarchy. OK. And he's their hair. I think I believe he's still their heritage champion. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he's still their heritage champion. He beat he beat Gary J in like a minute and a half.
00:45:36
Speaker
Like he beat the he beat the shit out of Gary J. And as a person who shared the ring with both of those guys. Yeah. Gary J.
00:45:48
Speaker
Nothing, nothing light about Gary J. He's a guy that when, I don't know, I think just as not a wrestler, just as a fan, the first time I saw him, I don't know what I expected. But it wasn't that. He's deceptively like, I love that his, I love that his thing is unsigned and don't care.
00:46:13
Speaker
Because one of the like not one of the first times I ever saw Gary J because I'd seen Gary J multiple times I've always liked Gary J. But one of the times that that ring the most true was Tampa It would have been Tampa of 21 he wrestled Billy Starks
00:46:33
Speaker
That sucks. I'm sorry, I have not seen this match. Maybe I did see this match, but no, don't do that to her. In that match. So if Billy just turned 18.
00:46:51
Speaker
so you're following me yeah he was basically beating the piss out of like one of the cast of Dawson's Creek right like he was beating the shit out of a high schooler and it was like like I go back if you get the opportunity go back and watch that match that match is so much fun but I
00:47:13
Speaker
I've always said like, it was Aaron Williams and Gary J, they're both unsigned and don't care. After that match, I said, Aaron Williams and Gary J are unsigned and don't care. But Gary J is unsigned and really doesn't care. It's one of those things that if that were the first time you saw him, it was like, I don't know, the first time I saw the movie Butterfly Effect,
00:47:42
Speaker
There's a kid in it that captures baby Ashton Kutcher's dog and burns it in a bag.
00:47:49
Speaker
and I was like, I don't like him, so every time I see that actor since, I'm like, he's bad. He's Burt Ashton Kutcher's dog, eh? Yeah, and you know what? Gary J. Burt Ashton Kutcher's dog that night. I get it. I get it. I get it. But that, the guy I'm talking about is the guy who got beat by Derek Neal. It's gonna be a, like,
00:48:17
Speaker
That's going to be our dad energy fight. That's dad energy. That is just to to we just finished mowing the lawn and now like somebody's mad about the property line and like you mow too far in and you cut the grass too goddamn short and it makes my grass look like it's not cut. That's the match.
00:48:38
Speaker
And not only is he getting that information, he just mowed, he just got inside, he just sat down to relax, and right as he propped his feet up the knock at the door. Now he's gotta deal with some shit. He kicked those fucking K-Swisses, those mid-top K-Swisses off already. They're on the floor.
00:48:58
Speaker
So that's our dead energy fight. It's gonna be, to borrow a JR phrase, it's gonna be a slobber knocker. If I look at this card, the one that gives me the most slobber knocker energy is Derek Neal, carry off one.
00:49:19
Speaker
Hell yeah. I saw, I think it said unannounced, but Adam Priest was on the card. Yes, so Adam Priest is wrestling a match. And if everything goes according to plan, Adam Priest
00:49:37
Speaker
Oh, oh, you ran for a fucking rough night. OK, so a pleasant surprise. Yes. Yes. I don't want to give too much away on that. But God damn it, Adam Priest. Hey, you know how it was. Fuck Nick Iggy earlier. Yeah. It's also kind of fuck Adam Priest. But I will say that Adam Priest has had a banner year.
00:50:00
Speaker
I mean I just fought him at ICW. He beat me in the chains. Was that one in Chattanooga? Yes. You did another ICW. I did Boston. I did the Battle of the Tough Guys. God damn right you did. Literally sat in a fucking room waiting for my... We were literally watching you do deathmatch.
00:50:24
Speaker
And they come in and say, no baby today. And we're like, cool. But you got to hang out for a minute. And then like 10 minutes later, your match ends. Doctor walks in and is like, hey, you're having a baby today. And you will always have been part of that is that the day Ozzy was born, we were and we the moment we found out we were going to have him, we were my wife and I both watching you on my iPhone.
00:50:47
Speaker
I love it. I love it because you know, it's live. I didn't want to miss. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I mean, and then, hey, that was a point where I was fighting Hoodfoot. So remember, like, so allow me to give you this gift. Let me I'm going to help you relive the birth of your son because I'm about to fight Hoodfoot again with your I would assume you're coming. I will be there and.
00:51:13
Speaker
She question mark. She will not be there. OK, it didn't work out. It's I will be in. Yeah, yeah. Well, she wanted to be there. Yeah, it's a whole. I get it. But yeah, so we'll get to relive that. But what we were Adam Preece and we were Adam Preece in it. But I yeah, I find Adam Preece in ICW. He's using that goddamn branding iron now.
00:51:38
Speaker
Oh, my God, you're right. Yeah. Did you get? Oh, yeah. We're on the ass on the ass. Bam Margerit. Yeah, I got full Bam Margerit. Full dick farmed. Yeah. But I got the full I got the full fucking the full brand. So it's still there. I mean, it's for the most part gone, but not against Adam Priest. Better judge, like not better judgment, but but attempt.
00:52:07
Speaker
He really, really tried to give it to me. Yeah, but it just didn't fucking butthole. Yeah, he's a fucking butthole. You know what? It's not fuck Adam Fries. It's just Adam Fries is a butthole. You're a butthole. But man, if we if everything goes according to plan, Adam Fries, hopefully you have the roughest fucking night of your life.
00:52:28
Speaker
Um, and then the final match, the, the only other thing that we have that's announced, you know, there's, it's KOBK. Um, there's always surprises. There's always something that, you know, you never know, but the final match is, uh, Sean Campbell, uh, the, the newest member of KOBK.
00:52:49
Speaker
I don't think I know this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, John. Yeah. Bitter scum. Sean Campbell. He's a young scum. Sean Campbell. OK. So Sean is like he's he's kind of a he's a Tennessee wrestler. He's been.
00:53:05
Speaker
He's kind of always been in my, like not peripheral, but he's been around for almost everything that I've ever done. Sean has been around for Brett for most of his career. Sean's been wrestling since, so Sean's 20 years old. Sean's been wrestling longer than I have.
00:53:27
Speaker
So Sean's been around forever. He's kinda got that Billy Starks started early, but stayed with it. I quit all the sports that I started at 15, because marijuana was awesome. But he's kinda stuck around, but under the KOBK brand, he's yet to get the W.
00:53:55
Speaker
Sean has lost at the last, he has lost his last two KOBK shows. And we certainly didn't make it easier on him. So his first one was against Masha, slam a bitch. Oh fuck. And Masha fucked him up.
00:54:12
Speaker
A lot of times when I see a wrestler, I think, that looks like a nice person. I don't think that about Masha. I love Masha. But you don't go, I'd like to hang with her. I like to leave a comfortable distance. Give her the hold across the room thumbs up. On the second show, we had him originally scheduled to fight Hoodfoot.
00:54:41
Speaker
Hoodfoot unfortunately had to back off. I don't think it was due to the stabbing. But I could be wrong. I'm very comfortable with being wrong about these things. So it ended up being AJ Grey.
00:54:56
Speaker
and that sucks too. There are a few things that I want less than his Lariat. Once again, that just enters into butthole territory. A.J. Grace Lariat is a butthole.
00:55:19
Speaker
Like, I love him. I love him. I will always watch a match he's in. I will enjoy that match once again. The fact that he's capable of it at any time and that it's always on his person. Zero interest in taking that lariat. Zero, not a one, not a one. That looks, it doesn't, oh man, it always looks like it sucks. Like, I know, I was worried they had, he was on that,
00:55:46
Speaker
JCW show and our favorite city, Bhutan, that Fax and Chris were in. Shout out to Bhutan, New Jersey, the wrestling mecca of the United States. But it was the second gear crew versus a group of older guys. And I was just like, he's going to fuck it.
00:56:05
Speaker
This is gonna turn their bones to dust. This is like, what's gonna happen to these men is gonna not even make the papers. But it's like what we thought was gonna happen to Ric Flair is going to happen tonight. Just four simultaneous heart attacks via Lariat. It's one guy just disappears, like you said, like mummy style. Just disintegrates, the others die in fear of what happened to their friend.
00:56:35
Speaker
Yeah, so Sean's had kind of a rough go of it as far as the KOPK brand. Listen, when you're the noob member, you kind of have to face all of the fucking people. You're fucking fraternity. Yeah, wait. They just do like the fucking hot dog in the ass too? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:56:57
Speaker
The only quote unquote hazing that I would say that we do is that I'm going to put you in a situation where you have every potential to win. It's just not going to be easy.
00:57:11
Speaker
Like I'm not joining this group. Yeah. Yeah. What I would say is that what I would say is that with KOBK, the letters are earned. They're not given. They are earned fair. And and we've like everybody in W.O. just because you work for that company up north doesn't mean you get to wear these letters.
00:57:35
Speaker
Um, but it's, it's very much, you know, this is his first opportunity. Like he's, he's not, we didn't set him up for success this time either. And I'm aware, say the name tank. It's take the blood bath behemoth. It's he's a, uh, I see what that scary man. Yeah. Yeah. With rev. Oh yeah. Rev isn't missing an opportunity to spread a sermon to Nashville, Tennessee. That's more people.
00:58:01
Speaker
That's more eyes. That's more people for him to convert to the Reverend Dan Wilson way. So you're saying this man's your friend and you guys booked this show. Yeah. And you're trying to kill him. Does he know this? I mean, I think, I mean, after it sounds like he's like a veteran. So I can understand him not knowing after Masha. Yeah, I could even kind of understand him not knowing after AJ.
00:58:30
Speaker
You realize the fucking villains you've put him against at this point are shaped like the phone signal bars. It just keeps increasing. Listen, it's just going to keep getting worse. What's after him? Who knows? Fucking great collie. We're going to get great collie in.
00:58:55
Speaker
We're gonna get gender mahal, we're gonna get a Punjabi prison match. But, so, Tank is, you know, again, a person that I've wrestled, you were at one of the times I've wrestled Tank.
00:59:10
Speaker
Death match at what not at one bambi. Yeah, it was the GC crux verse GCW was this it was the show after the show. Yeah and In that like so I ended up cutting a promo on having that match because I end up wrestling at four to four to three chaos in Chattanooga, but In that promo I said and this still holds true
00:59:35
Speaker
um that that tank is uh a pillar of deathmatch wrestling of the southeast and of wrestling as a whole like there are very few guys that have done as much as tank has done in wrestling uh
01:00:02
Speaker
like look no further than i'll go back to tampa look no further than tampa um tony deppin put a show together uh one of the first people i remember he wanted on the show was tank and the reason he wanted tank is because everybody thinks that tank is blood and guts that's what everybody just assumes tank's blood and guts i mean i know he goes by bloodbath behemoth but everybody assumes
01:00:26
Speaker
But don't judge a book by your cover and their name. Yeah, it might not be true. But Tank is somebody that has a pedigree that, you know, like I don't know that I don't know that anybody else in KOBK would say this. I mean, they may. But the thing I would say is is that the reason that hard way heater is the way the hard way heater is is because of things that Tank and Rev
01:00:56
Speaker
have one done for wrestling and two have done for me specifically. Like, Tank's a friend, but I also am terrified anytime I'm across the ring from Tank, or across the bar floor, or across a parking lot if he's mad at me. So, we didn't really, again, not like, iron sharpens iron.
01:01:24
Speaker
And I know that Sean is 0 and 2 right now. But we'll never know how sharp his iron can be unless we keep lining him up against killers. Like, you're just, you're gonna have to go through the murderer's road. Like, because it's things that all the rest of them- You don't want to lob the guy softballs. Yeah, yeah. Because how easy would that be if I put Sean Campbell against Dilfboy?
01:01:48
Speaker
She's fucking rad and we'd all be excited. Dilfboy's a celebrity. Oh yeah, that's right. You know what, you're right, you're right. You'd be shining up your friend, but we as a collective human get to enjoy watching Dilfboy do what Dilfboy does, which is get beat up by an old MAGA man? With a pot leaf tattooed on his arm. You know that man wanted to take that away for you, right? And USA Zubas.
01:02:17
Speaker
but he's wearing USA Zubaz in that match. Ugh, anyway, let's not, let's not. Okay, but yeah, you've run down the card. I'm pumped. Like obviously, like ticket already purchased. Yes. The folks I'm going with, tickets already purchased. Absolutely, thank you for that.
01:02:36
Speaker
Do you have your tickets yet? Why the fuck don't you like it's real fucking simple question. Why don't you have your fucking tickets shows? It's 8 o'clock. Yeah at Cobra. Yeah, that's an early show in Nashville. Yeah, that's a very like Traditionally early show. Yeah, and you know what?
01:02:55
Speaker
There's nothing to fucking set up, so like, I, we're just gonna get in there. I do have to ask you this. Cobra is your bar. That's like, that's your hang. You know how, yes, we go there often. I went to your birthday party at Cobra, won a couple ducks out of the claw machine. In the room, my birthday was in the room that we're wrestling in. That's beautiful. Are you wearing trunks or pants to your favorite bar?
01:03:22
Speaker
because this is an opportunity to not wear pants at your favorite bar. So this is a conversation that I've been going back and forth in my head with because traditionally when I have deathmatch, I have deathmatch gear. I normally wear jeans and a sleeveless shirt. This is different because
01:03:48
Speaker
This is Nashville. I'm gonna start there. This is Nashville. Number two, hometown. Not only hometown, hometown bar. Like, my haunt. There's gonna be people there that just know you as the dude from the bar. Yeah, they just know me as the guy from the bar. And you're gonna walk in with no fucking pants on. And they're gonna be like, holy shit. I didn't realize it was this kind of fucking party tonight.
01:04:14
Speaker
So I'm of two minds of it. I might meet Hoodfoot's energy. Hoodfoot traditionally wrestles in even death matches in trunks. Maybe it's time to just go full bore and go trunks. Because it does sound nice to not have to wear pants at the Cobra. I don't know why there's an appeal to that.
01:04:36
Speaker
But there certainly is an appeal to not wearing pants at the Cobra. It's just it's rare. It's a place you are often. Right. I don't know. Like I said, I had to. I also think that I also think that if I play my cards right, depending on how everything goes, I might be able to get away with hanging out of the bar the rest of the night.
01:04:59
Speaker
No pants. No pants, just a hoodie. No pants hoodie. That's a good look. I'm saying. Okay, so I don't know what Cobra knows. When you had a conversation, and maybe this isn't a place for this podcast, but I have to assume that the managers of the Cobra aren't listening to this, or have at least gotten this far into it, if they did.
01:05:26
Speaker
They quit somewhere at the beginning when we were talking about Kevin Federline. I see who's on this card. You might have gotten it past them once. There's gonna be blood, right? There's beverages being served in this room. What is the violence policy?
01:05:52
Speaker
Um, we're doing kind of the, uh, um, um, ask for forgiveness, not permission. I will see like, like I have had multiple conversations with people at the Cobra.
01:06:08
Speaker
This is actually, if I can shout out somebody, like a lot of this kind of came together outside of just the KOBK members. A lot of this came together with Richard Perkins. Who the fuck is Richard Perkins on Instagram?
01:06:25
Speaker
What's funny is I only know him as a social media presence. Right. But he he happened to mention to one of the owners of the Cobra that, hey, my friend wants to do a wrestling show here. I didn't ask him to do that. He just did it. And they said, yeah, that's fine.
01:06:44
Speaker
And so Richard immediately called me and was like, they're willing to do a no ring wrestling show. And I said, do you know? Do they know? Yeah. Do they know what that means? Did Richard know what that means? Yeah, Richard is like, yeah, Richard's Richard's Richard's well versed in the no ring death because, you know, his name's on the line, too.
01:07:06
Speaker
This is his hang, too. Does he have a backup bar? Yeah, I think so. The thing is, word's going to get out. It's not like you get kicked out of here. You can't just go to Dino's and bleed on their patio, too. I have had no less than four conversations with people who
01:07:29
Speaker
own and or run parts of the Cobra where I go, you know, we're bleeding in here, right? And it's always been, yeah, that's fine. And I went, okay.
01:07:42
Speaker
You know, we're bleeding in here, right? And they're like, yeah, that's totally fine. And I'm like, OK, you know that there's going to be physical violence between two people in this room that you have signed off on now. Like, like you let us book this. We're going to be coming into contact with patrons. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:08:03
Speaker
little icky mess coming. Yeah. Yeah. So so right. Exactly. We're gonna be messy spaghetti. We're gonna be messy spaghetti boys and girls boys and girls and we're gonna and we're just gonna like oh there's a little bit of sauce on my face like so conversations have happened. Okay. And they have been okay with it.
01:08:23
Speaker
I will venture to say that I'm okay with almost anything until it's happening and then I can very much not be okay with it but what I will say is is that the the staff
01:08:40
Speaker
at the cobra has been super receptive um i've i have brought it up multiple times hey this is kind of what's going on like one of the ways that i described it to one of the the other people is imagine if you just let a bar fight go
01:09:00
Speaker
Like everybody in the room knows that they're just gonna sort it out, but if you just let it go. You're like, I also said, it'd be like, let's say you book Gigi Allen without all the shit. Yeah, we're not shittin'. We're not shittin'. But it is Gigi Allen-esque.
01:09:17
Speaker
It's a scene, man. Yeah, right. Exactly. Well, and then one of the ways one of the ways that Richard Richard told me that he was talking to them about it is apparently I don't know what band it was, but apparently there was a band that played the cobra that lit a fire in the middle of the concert floor.
01:09:41
Speaker
It was put out rather quickly by the band, but he was like, they'll let motherfuckers play flaming guitars out into the commons area. So he was like, I can't imagine that they're gonna be fucked up about a little bit of blood. Nothing they haven't seen before. This isn't their first weekend open. And also Southern Underground Pro,
01:10:07
Speaker
Their first two shows were at the Cobra, but they were in the back. But they both had death matches on them.
01:10:14
Speaker
So, I think they're well versed. You're saying there's a rich history of bleeding at the cobra. There's a rich history of bleeding at the cobra. Okay, yeah. So, go to K-O-B-K-Fed. That never was funny to me until you said it out loud. Every time I read it, didn't think anything of it. Now, I'll never not. We need a K-Fed shirt with him. And like just K-O-B-K-Fed. K-O-B-K-Fed. Like Popo's out.
01:10:44
Speaker
Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I did this. It's fun. It's but yeah. OK. Go to at K.O.B.K. Fed on Twitter. Look up how to pay. I believe it is PayPal and 20 bucks to K.O.B.K. Fed at Gmail dot com. And then essentially like from the way I understand it what we're going to do is I'm going to put you on the list.
01:11:12
Speaker
Perfect. I'm assuming otherwise you can hand them $20. Yeah, you can also just hand $20. They take cards, so you can also just hand them the card. And then the money's not even real. It's all pretend we're all in the matrix. You know what will be real? The blood flowing from Billy Stark's fucking nugget. The hot blood that's going to hit you in the face. Love it. OK.
01:11:36
Speaker
We are winding down here. And our dear co-host Chris is also on IWTV. And he wanted a review. He wanted you to see his pro wrestling that he's done that is on the same platform that you have bled.
01:11:56
Speaker
I don't know that Chris bleeds. We did go through the IWTV app, God bless them, they're trying. Had to scroll like six fucking times through this to find it, because you know, there's no search function. I can say it, you don't have to. And I will say this, so we found KOBKs, and you were above somebody cool.
01:12:23
Speaker
Who are you? Oh, you were right about right above the 23. So Chris is in XSW extremely serious wrestling in New York. It looks like this show is from 2021. We say June 18th. Yeah. July 18th. No, June 18th. June 18th. You're right. 2021. And you can see our very own Chris Miggs wrestle on this platform and
01:12:49
Speaker
XSW, not XPW, don't get it mixed up. This is extremely serious wrestling. The other one is... But they are right above GCW. If you're scrolling through the fucking 300 wrestling promotions, some of which have
01:13:12
Speaker
half a show list. We gotta clean this up, guys. I love you. Clearly, I'm a customer. I paid for this service. But you gotta have a, like, wrestling fans are fucking nerds. Somewhere out there, there's gotta be a guy that knows apps.
01:13:28
Speaker
applications that can add a search bar so I can type in the name of a wrestler, a company, and not blindly scroll through something that isn't even alphabetical. Like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it had to be said, it had to be said, IWTV, I love what you're doing.
01:13:48
Speaker
but I got notes. Also be sure to catch our show on IWTV. IWTV is where you can catch KOBK Sold Out 2 from the Cobra. Yeah, once it's uploaded, but just pay attention. We'll post all about it. Like I'm sure all of you have been inundated with all of our, you know, the people who follow us have been inundated with our stuff anyway. So once the show's up, will you also be inundated? Okay.
01:14:16
Speaker
So we're starting this match. Already describe, Garrett, can you describe, is this worst ring than you've, if you wrestled in a worst ring than this, it is four orange parking cones with them. Oh, here comes our boy. There's, well, there's, there's Mr. Chris. Mr. Chris. They're the orthodatists.
01:14:39
Speaker
Just so you guys know in this show it is the 38 minute mark is where you can tune into this orthodontist versus the gorillas Chris Chris starting out the match number one dad. Oh my god, and there he is
01:14:57
Speaker
That might be the greatest freeze frame I've ever seen. Just shook hands with a gorilla. He is in a gym mat with caution tape around it. He's wearing the fanny pack. A pro wrestling tease fanny pack, I believe, if I saw it right. Is he in a German suplex? I don't know Chris's wrestling abilities.
01:15:20
Speaker
I mean, listen, that was it. That was a nice little transition. The problem is, is that Chris really does not let that gorilla take over him. Oh, no, that's not it. That's not a gorilla. I thought they were. I thought it was too. I thought it was. I thought it was. I thought it was a singles. I just found out it's a tag. No one's holding a little rope in the corner, so it's hard to. Yeah.
01:15:50
Speaker
See, these are the moments that Chris really needs to capitalize. You don't wanna let that gorilla grab at whatever he's grabbing at. Yeah, start beating his ass. Yeah, just beat him up. What is this? It's a little toilet? Is that a bidet? Has he got a squatty potty? Oh, Chris brained him and the riff doesn't seem to mind. Yeah, I guess this is a no DQ match.
01:16:18
Speaker
You know what though Chris earned that rest. I mean he was in the ring with a fucking gorilla. He definitely is winded there Gotta control that breathing north. Oh, they're doing the Britt Baker spot. Maybe even before Britt Baker was doing oh, oh
01:16:36
Speaker
but oh the gorilla the gorilla bit the fingers the gorilla bit the fingers which is more people so my immediate takeaway if we're doing like just just straight up commentary on this my immediate takeaway is that referees beard is phenomenal that's a hot beer and it seems as though
01:17:01
Speaker
that the does I think that that I think that the gorilla no sign language. Oh, like Coco. Yeah, it's like Coco the Robin Williams friend. Yeah. Yeah. Robin Williams friend, Coco.
01:17:19
Speaker
But it seems like the, or the dad, like, I don't know. I didn't catch the name of the other orthodatist or the name of the, the, the gorilla, not gorilla. Well, this is, that's a DQ. Yeah. I mean, this, this referee has really lost control of this match. He really needs to restore some order. Now I know that's a lot to ask with a gorilla in the ring.
01:17:43
Speaker
I mean he is about as useful as a slap fight. Yeah. Referee I'll tell you. But look they knocked over one of the poles. The ring is coming down is coming apart. Oh he's doing the atomic elbow. Chris nice getting it. Oh from the court. Oh with a nice little nice little double bulldog. It's almost that reverse chokeslam that you work on. Yeah.
01:18:07
Speaker
Oh my goodness. I mean, it's a it's a gorilla. And also one of the like the post is down that that match is. Or that that Matt is that that ring is a who. It looks worse than when Lesnar brought the tractor in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, they've they've really got to. They they should say something about how bad the the ring crew was. They really should reinforce. Oh, no.
01:18:38
Speaker
The orthodatists lose? Okay. Chris, you were robbed. Chris was robbed. I like his outfit. I do. Number one dad. Number one dad. With a nice pair of khakis. The low top Chuck Tees. Low top, yeah. That's a move. Very specific person wears low chopped Chuck Tees. And a pink number one dad shirt.
01:19:07
Speaker
and then they, my guess is that Rick Baker was doing it before, but you know what, they did it well, D-A-D. No, that was, okay, so let's say Chris joins KOBK, or he submits an application. He doesn't have to, I don't wanna speak for him, but let's say you're putting him through the test. Who is the number one dad's first match against? Who?
01:19:36
Speaker
Cuz obviously we see what you do to your friends. And Chris, you've heard him on the podcast, you haven't met in person. What would you do to him?
01:19:46
Speaker
Well, I think that if we're gonna if we're gonna if we're going to if we're gonna lean in to Sorry, this show is still going and there's somebody named Captain romance that he just dick wiggled at both of us We're saying is check out XSW if you want to see some for sure comedy wrestling with our boy. Yeah so Chris's first opponent as the number one dad is
01:20:15
Speaker
I mean, do we just lean into it and we just, you know, we know that we know as a collective that our dads tend to have.
01:20:25
Speaker
maybe some views, points that aren't the greatest in the entire world. Do we just put Chris against the MAGA Butcher? Oh, no. Not my sweet little DILF boy, Chris. Not my dad I'd like to fuck. I assume, which is what? No, no, DILF boy. Yeah, yeah, I mean.
01:20:48
Speaker
Or the what was his name? It's confusing because it's DILF BOY. It's like, dad, I'd like to fuck boy. Which is... Dad, I'd like to fuck boy. Honestly, I could have done a whole podcast breaking down that, man. You know what, Chris, I'm sorry, bud. You're going up against MAGA Butcher. Schlack seemed to handle it okay. Just, hey, watch some Schlack matches and just do whatever Schlack would do.
01:21:12
Speaker
And also take a page out of Slay's book. Maybe bring a knife. Yes. Maybe even a gun, because I'll tell you this, they ain't checking at the door. And you know what? They're pro those. They would actually be a gun. They're not going to stop. Mac of Usher would look you dead in your eyes and say, it is your God-given right to shoot me.
01:21:36
