To me, it was kind of middle of the road as far as NXT Takeovers go, but that still means that it's better than about 98% of wrestling that's out there. Sheena, what was your match of the night?
00:04:18
Speaker
I'm going to have to go with, I mean, there was, I feel like they all were pretty good, you know, for the most part, but the one that stood out to me was definitely Finn Balor versus Pete Dunne. Obviously we saw, you know, how it ended, which, you know, really made the match stand out above the others.
00:04:34
Speaker
you know, those two guys going head to head. It was much like when Finn fought Kyle O'Reilly and those guys just put on a freaking clinic. It was kind of like the same type of wrestling and Pete Dunn does his Pete Dunn things, you know, all of his digit manipulation and you know, breaking people's fingers and wrists and all things. So I love that match. I thought it was excellent. So if you're going to go back and watch one match, in my opinion, I would definitely check out Pete Dunn and
Vengeance Outcomes and Undisputed Era Discussion
00:05:00
Speaker
Finn Balor. Yeah, Finn's definitely been working a more like
00:05:02
Speaker
Real estate mma-based style since he's been back in an xt and it's definitely paid off in some of these hard-hitting main events He's had the last few takeovers Marco. How about you? What was the highlight of the night for you? So I'm gonna go with the the women's dusty classic with Raquel Gonzales and Dakota Kai going over Ember moon and shots II black heart and
00:05:23
Speaker
Um, only because I predicted that one correctly. And so I was a little surprised. Yeah, I did not. I did not get that one correct. But yeah, I was surprised by the outcome of that match. I mean, the modern day diesel and HBK. So, I mean, of course I got to go over our Ember moon, um, going, uh, towards women, winning those women's tag belts from, uh, Naya. Yeah, definitely. Uh, I'm not sure if it's going to happen, but.
00:05:46
Speaker
Um, they'll, they'll win it at some point, but not, I don't think they'll do it on the first try. Um, but yeah, no, I was definitely excited that they, uh, that they, they took that win because I think it's all overdue for Dakota. I think she's kind of been like, you know, riding the wave a little bit, like.
00:06:01
Speaker
Yeah, she's, she's not as like obviously as over as the other ladies there, but she's definitely up there in the skill set. I think, you know, I think she's getting the right push. I think the cool thing about Dakota Kai is you can go back and just look at her body of work throughout the time that she's been in NXT and you can just see, see the progression. You know what I mean? Like she's not one of those people that just came out from the jump and was just an automatic superstar from, you know, day one, you really gotten to see her
00:06:25
Speaker
her growth and stuff in the ring and her style evolve and stuff like that. I think that's really cool when you get to see that growth within the superstars. Yeah, definitely. I think my favorite match was probably MSK versus the Grizzly Young Veterans. That was an excellent match, for sure. There's a lot of really cool moves to bust out. That suicide dive, doomsday device that Grizzly Young Veterans hit was just incredible. I've never seen that before. Lucky a dude didn't break his neck when he took that one, but that was one hell of a move.
00:06:52
Speaker
If you guys had to pick which of the two dusty cup winners you will win gold first out of at a Dakota and Raquel and MSK
00:07:06
Speaker
I don't know, man. I guess, I think I would say MSK, just because, no, the women's tag titles, you know, there are no women's tag titles on, I guess there's no men's tag titles on NXT. Oh, there he is. Okay, my bad, my B, my B. But there's no, the women's tag titles are on all three brands. The men's tag titles are specific to NXT. That's the point. They're both getting title shots though. MSK is getting a shot at only working in Danny Burch and then. True, but I don't. They're never color getting shots at Shana and Nia.
00:07:35
Speaker
true, but can you see them letting the women's tag titles go down to NXT? I think they should. When they originally announced them, they said they were going across all brands, even including NXT UK. So it's about time. We haven't had an NXT team hold the belt yet, so they're due. And I actually think they get a lot of use of them because there's a ton of
00:07:53
Speaker
really talented ladies down at NXT right now. I think it's gonna be Dakota and Raquel. They seem like they got the momentum. Nia and Shayna already showed up on NXT this last Wednesday night to taunt them a little bit. And I think it'll be a hell of a story seeing Dakota Kai finally get a little bit of a revenge on Shayna Baszler from breaking her arm.
00:08:12
Speaker
So the big story coming out of vengeance was the end of the night, we had undisputed era come out to save Finn Balor from all the goons. And then almost immediately after, Adam Cole not only super kicks Finn Balor, but he also super kicks Kyle O'Reilly to effectively put an end to the era. Man. It was heartbreaking. It ranks up there. It's with Marty Gennady getting thrown through the barbershop window. Seth Rollins putting the chair and Roman Reigns back.
00:08:41
Speaker
It was intense. The social media was blowing up with all the emotional reactions to the ending. Marco, what did you think about Adam Cole's actions at the end of Vengeance Day? Oh, man. So if you're a follower of Pat McAfee, he's been telling you since last year that Adam Cole is all for himself. He doesn't care about anyone else. He's kind of been playing the seeds and letting you know. But you kind of see it when
00:09:08
Speaker
when everyone's getting their own solo pushes and stuff like that. You can tell he was kind of jealous that people were getting title shots over him after his big loss to Keith Lee. It was inevitable in that sense. I was surprised by it like everyone else, but then after I wasn't surprised at all because
00:09:33
Speaker
they needed to shake up with with with you. I mean, I think we talked about this before. It was getting kind of, you know, they want all the gold, you know, and all that stuff. And then once they lost, it was like gold. Yeah, it's true. I don't I have to disagree. I don't think Adam Cole is only out for himself. I feel like he did have the brotherhood and I feel like he had he had all their backs, you know, over the years and they've all they've all kind of like wrote hard together. I just feel like I feel like there was jealousy. You know what I mean? He couldn't stand another alpha coming into the pack and
00:10:03
Speaker
you know, Kyle O'Reilly taking up for Finn Balor was just too much for him to take, you know what I mean? It just kind of like, you know, he's been he's been faithful to, you know, Kyle, like all these years. And then all of a sudden, you know, this new guy comes in and he's got he's cool. And, you know, he we know he has this, you know, really cool alter person or what's the what's the word alter ego, you know, and so Adam Cole just couldn't, you know, he couldn't deal.
00:10:27
Speaker
I was surprised. I mean, Adam Cole, he never even turned face. People just started cheering for him. It's Pat McAfee came out. It's not like Adam Cole ever came out and really saved anybody. He's always been a heel. And you know, Pat McAfee said it his best. He's been a scumbag from the start. Yeah, he's the Panama City playboy. So I think it was definitely on brand for him to do what he did.
00:10:46
Speaker
Kyle O'Reilly's the one that turned face. Adam Cole has never done anything different over these last few months. He started to get the fan reaction on his side. So I think he was staying on brand. I'm ready to see what he does now that he's out. It looks like he's going to be on his own. That leads us to our next question. Roger Strong has kind of been trying to be the peacemaker, playing in the middle right now. Marco, what side do you think Roddy's going to end up on? Is he going to go with Cole, with Kyle O'Reilly, or is everybody from undisputed era just going to go their own way?
00:11:15
Speaker
So just to bring another counterpoint to what China said about Adam Colby sticking by his brothers and all that stuff, who's to say he wasn't just using them to get where he needed to be as the longest reigning NXT champion? And he may say that. That might be a thing. I just used those guys to get where I needed to be and put myself in a position. But I believe Roderick Strong teamed with Kyle O'Reilly when Fish was
00:11:43
Speaker
injured, right? So I think, I think his allegiance would lie with, with Kyle. I mean, with, I mean, I would think anyway, because he's, he kind of like brought him into the, into UE. I mean,
00:12:00
Speaker
I would like to think he would stick with him, but who knows? Yeah, Roddy was the last guy to join, you know, the Undisputed Era. He was kind of controversial when the way he came in and how he came in and stuff. So yeah, it'll be interesting to see where his allegiance lies. Marco, so now that it looks like it's finally come to an end, they had about a four year, about three and a half, almost four year run. 2017, August 2017. Yeah, August 2017 is when they debuted. So yeah, almost three and a half years. What was your favorite Undisputed Era moment?
00:12:30
Speaker
I'm gonna have to go with the debut, right? That was like the most exciting thing. You had Drew McIntyre as champion, and then Adam Cole out of nowhere, just...
00:12:39
Speaker
laying about and setting forth what was going to be the most dominant faction in NXT history, pretty much. Yeah. I remember Sanity won the tag belts, and that's when O'Reilly and Bobby Fish came out and attacked them. Yep. Yeah, and you're right. Yeah, they show back up at the end, and then all of a sudden, Adam Cole comes out of the crowd. That event's always got a soft spot in my heart, because actually, I watched that in the hospital. In Hawaii, the big events come on afternoon because of the time change, and that was actually the afternoon.
00:13:09
Speaker
after our son Brett was born. We're still in the hospital and I'm literally holding Brett in my lap while she was sleeping, watching that show. So yeah, I always remember watching Undisputed Era debut at WWE. So I agree, that was my favorite moment ever. Sheena, what's yours?
00:13:22
Speaker
I think just overall, I think, um, my favorite moment was the fact that, I mean, we can say, you know, that it was already planned, but let's, let's be real undisputed era. The, the hype behind their faction allowed them to bring back war games, um, which has been so much fun, you know, over, over the years that we've gotten to see war games and, you know, that, I mean, that's, uh, undisputed era's house, you know, war games, they run that shit, you know? So they've been in all four war games matches.
00:13:48
Speaker
Yeah. So, uh, I just feel like the fact that, you know, they were so dominant and had so much hype and they were able to bring back war games. I think that that's probably my favorite undisputed era moment happening. All right. So yeah, undisputed era is no more, but the beverage break is still here. Sheena, what are you sipping on this week? Uh, I'm going back to the basics, man. I I've been drinking crafties the last few weeks and, um, you know, I had to go back to Miller light Marco.
00:14:17
Speaker
Yeah, I just had to lay off the the bears and about sipping on that that 19 crimes right now. Nice. Nice. 19 Crizzle for Schism.
00:14:29
Speaker
I'm sticking with the Miller White 2. We're not even going to mess with the Snoop Dogg talk this week. We'll shut that one down. You know how me and Marco like to do. We like to drink our Snoop Dogg wine and gossip. Gossip girls. Talk about our conspiracy theories. Yeah, gossip girls. That's a Chick Foley show.
AEW and WWE Match Predictions
00:14:52
Speaker
All right, so moving on to AEW, the other half of the Wednesday Night Wars, exploding barbed-wire death match. This is like something I would have made up with my wrestling figures when I was a kid. I guess they're going to have to top what they did last time. They had an extremely violent match at Fool Gear in 2019. Marco, what's your thoughts on the stipulation for Kenny and Mox's match? I'm excited slash scared for both of these guys. Have either one of you ever seen
00:15:22
Speaker
or seeing clips of it, not even a whole match. It's like what it looks like. Yeah, it's going to be ridiculous, man. There's definitely no safe way to do this. I do have the... It's buried somewhere, but it's the King of the Deathmatch tournament. I believe it was 95, where Mick Foley and Terry Funk met each other at the end of it. Well, throughout that tournament, there was different types of matches. Every match had a barbed wire thing on it. I think those ones are electric, actually, but they had landmines.
00:15:51
Speaker
on the one I see, so that's when Mick Foley, if you see that scar on his arm, that horrible one, that's like, you know, landmine blew up on his shoulder, so those are some things that can happen in this deathmatch. I'm not sure how safe it's gonna be for them and what the outcome's gonna be, but yeah, I mean, like I said, I'm scared. I'm not even in the match, and I'm scared for either one of these guys, so.
00:16:16
Speaker
Are we taking a winner on this or? You know, we're going to make the final prediction. We'll save that for, you know, the week before the show. What's your, which way are you leaning right now? I'm leaning towards Kenny on this one. I think, I think someone's due to take some time off at some point and they're going to explode to get them off to you. It's going to take exploding bar work. Yeah, that makes sense.
00:16:42
Speaker
Plus, Kenny's got a whole freaking army of goons with him right now. They can help him out. So yeah, lots of them stacked against him. Sheena, what are you thinking as far as early prediction on this match? Yeah, I'm going to have to go with Kenny. I think it's too obvious to say that this type of match is going to go in Mox's favor because this is, I mean, this is typically right in his wheelhouse. You know what I mean? So I think we're going to get some sort of swerve.
00:17:06
Speaker
Obviously, Mox is gonna put up a good fight and get in some crazy offense, but ultimately, Kenny's gonna come out with the win. Shane, what's your favorite hardcore match ever? I don't know. Marco, what's your favorite hardcore match? I have to think. Oh, boy. So many. He went back to ECW even before that. Yikes. That's actually a really hard question, because I'm not sure if I have a favorite one. I do enjoy them.
00:17:35
Speaker
But I'm not sure if I have a favorite hardcore match. If I have to pick, it's probably the last match between Cactus Jack and Terry Fuhrman. I was going to say Cactus Jack and Triple H. Yeah, I'm throwing basically any type of super-violet weapons match. I'm going to come see TLC, Hell in the Cell.
00:17:55
Speaker
All that stuff, you know, you know, everything under the hardcore match umbrella for me, you know, the two that I always go back to is the the hell in the cell between Shawn Michaels and Undertaker. That was the first one. I don't know. I almost don't even consider that one a hardcore match. That was so well done. Like, that's just a match to me. I'm going like straight up gimmick matches.
00:18:14
Speaker
I'm a prego undertaker in mankind just because that was that match is actually like I've changed my opinion on it for a while I thought that match was actually garbage and then I went back and watched it recently and just Yeah, the high spots were so good at it that I think it actually is, you know It has earned its right to be called a classic and then the other one is the we LC match man at Extremely between Trito and Hornswoggle that things a masterpiece, you know
00:18:39
Speaker
3MB, current WWE champion, Drew McIntyre, and ex WWE champion, Jinder Mahal get involved. Los Matadors are amazing in it. So yeah, if you haven't checked that out, go check out the pre-show from TLC 2014. Really great match. Gargano and Champa had some hardcore matches that were pretty freaking badass over the years. Yeah, they had Unsanctioned match. Yeah, they had a Last Man Standing match. Yeah, those guys definitely tore the house down a few times.
00:19:04
Speaker
All right. It's now time for the Chick Foley show prediction championship. Now Marco actually filed a petition to the, uh, the prediction Federation board of governors earlier on this week.
00:19:26
Speaker
to make it a non title match for elimination chamber. We reviewed his request and it was categorically denied. So we only got four matches announced right now.
00:19:38
Speaker
We are going to be going head to head with the belt on the line, but there's going to be a twist this week. I'll get to it here in a little bit. Let's start off though. The US title as of right now, it's a triple threat match. Keith Lee is currently up in the air. We don't know if he's going to be medically clear to wrestle, but as of right now, Bobby last is going to be defend the belt against Keith Lee and Matt Riddle. I refuse to just call him Riddle. I'm still going to call him Matt Riddle at elimination chamber. Marco, what's your pick?
00:20:02
Speaker
Man, we've talked about this a little bit before. Depending on whether Keith Lee appears in this match or not, it makes a huge difference in the winner, because my pick would be Keith Lee to win if he is in it. Can we make two predictions if he is or isn't in it, or are we just going with one prediction? I think we just go with one for now. Who is leaving with the US Championship at Elimination Chamber?
00:20:28
Speaker
So if Keith Lee's in it, Keith Lee, I'm going to go with Keith Lee as the winner. All right. Sheena? I'm going with Bobby Lashley, dude. I think he... Smooth Bobby. Yeah. I know. Can you believe I picked Bobby Lashley? I feel like he's got a lot of momentum. He's had a lot of build. I don't know. There's two ways to go on this because I feel like that could also mean that he could drop it to Keith Lee or Riddle and then shoot him up a ladder, a rung in the ladder, and he could go for like...
00:20:56
Speaker
main event title, so I don't know. I'm going with Bobby Lashley. I'm going to go with Bobby Lashley. Yeah, I think Bobby Lashley is actually going to lose the belt. I think Sheena might be onto something. I think he's got his eye on that WrestleMania main event, finding a way into that somehow, and I think he's going to lose track of what's going on. It's a lot of ways you can lose in a triple threat match. He doesn't even have to get pinned to lose the belt. Him and MVP have had
00:21:18
Speaker
few little minor, minor words here recently. MVP is not liking the, the super vicious side of Bobby Lashley. I think somehow, I don't know who's going to win out of the other two, but I do not think Bobby Lashley is leaving.
00:21:30
Speaker
with the US title. Yeah. All right. Well, no, no second guessing, but it's fine. It's fine. Final answer. She said Bobby Lashley. Marco's taking Keith Lee. I hate Bobby Lashley. He always does me wrong in these things. All right. Let's move on to the smack down side of the house, the elimination chamber match. So we got Jay Uso versus Kevin Owens versus Baron Corbin or Sammy Zane versus Sirer versus Daniel Bryan. She is going to go first.
00:21:58
Speaker
We need the order of elimination chain. That's going to be the twist this week because we only have four matches announced right now. So we got to spice it up a little bit. What is going to be the order of elimination? Oh my goodness. Okay. Okay. Okay. I know. Um,
00:22:16
Speaker
Well, the chances of either of us getting this right are slim to none. So we're gonna get points. I mean, if anyone you get right in the order, you get a point. So there's a total of six points are actually available in this match. So these two elimination chair match is really good to determine it. Okay, so I'm gonna say first elimination is going to be Sammy Zane. Okay. Second elimination is going to be
00:22:47
Speaker
Baron Corbin. Third elimination is going to be Cesaro. Fourth elimination is going to be... This one's tough. There's a word. It gets hairy. It's getting suspenseful. I'm going to go with... I'm going to go with Kevin Owens.
00:23:11
Speaker
It's getting is going out fourth and then It's gonna be between Jay and Daniel and I'm gonna say Daniel Bryan gets eliminated and Jay Uso wins the elimination chamber Okay, she was picking Jay Uso to win the elimination chamber. That was set up a very interesting match. Yeah, Marco What are you going with for your order? Get a finger poke a doom situation, you know, so I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with this. I'm gonna go first elimination I'm gonna
00:23:36
Speaker
Let me see. See, that'll be Sammy of Baron I'm going with. I'm going to go Baron Corbin's going to be the first. I think Sammy's going to be slimy enough to kind of stay in it for a little bit. So Baron first, he's gone. Second will be, then Sammy will be the second one after Baron Corbin.
00:24:01
Speaker
Let me see. This is, yeah, this is where it gets really tough. Cesaro, even though he's kind of like on a, if you watch like Talking Smack and, you know, he's kept this like killer promo about, you know, wrestling and all that stuff. So he might stay a little bit longer, but I'm saying he's going to be a third. So I've bought into Cesaro too many times and it's never paid off. So yeah, I agree. So until proven otherwise. Yeah.
00:24:28
Speaker
I'm gonna go fourth. I'm gonna go Jey Uso fourth. Okay. Then I'm gonna go last two, Kevin Owens versus Daniel Bryan. Here's what I'm predicting. People want this Daniel Bryan Roman Reigns match to happen at Mania. Guess what? It's not happening at Mania. It's happening at Elimination Chamber.
00:24:51
Speaker
Daniel Bryan versus Roman Reigns elimination chamber. They're gonna give you a little tease, and Roman's gonna come out on top. But I think, yeah, that's what I think. So you think Daniel Bryan's winning the elimination chamber? Yes, I do, and he's facing Roman Reigns at the end. They need something exciting, because this match isn't really exciting at all. All right, so Roman Reigns versus Daniel Bryan, then, who wins?
00:25:18
Speaker
Roman Reigns. All right. Sheena Roman Reigns versus Jey Uso wins. No chance. Yeah. All right. So both people, both of you guys are picking Roman Reigns to lead with the belt. Let's move back over to Raw. So Drew McIntyre is actually going to be defending the WWE championship in the chamber. We got Drew versus AJ versus Jeff Hardy versus Randy Orton versus Sheamus and versus Kofi Kingston. Marco, you go first this time. What's the order of elimination? Oh boy. This is, this is even, this is harder because these are all like,
00:25:50
Speaker
You know one of them is a legend killer, but they're all killers in their own right So first elimination I'm gonna go with The enigma Jeff Hardy he's gone second elimination I'm gonna go with
00:26:10
Speaker
going to sound crazy to you guys. AJ Styles is second. He's gone. No, he doesn't really make sense. You know what I mean? Yeah, he's also he's a key player in this elimination chamber match. I mean, he's going to do awesome. But yeah, he really doesn't make sense as far as like, you know, winning this thing. Yep. So we have Randy Shavis and Kofi and Drew McIntyre, actually, because he's at the bench.
00:26:36
Speaker
So after AJ Styles gets eliminated, I'm gonna go with... This is rough. So I think this is where I was talking about earlier, there's gonna be a return. I feel like the Fiend's gonna return and cost Randy Orton. So Randy Orton's gone, he's the next one. Then I leave Sheamus, Drew, and Kofi.
00:27:04
Speaker
Kofi's a marathon man, you know, he stays, he can go. He can go. And last time he was in the elimination chamber. Yeah, but he's gone right after. He's a broke head, head's getting kicked right off his shoulders. Sheamus and Drew, they're the last two, they kind of want this, you know, their friends and now they're bitter rivals. And obviously Drew McIntyre wins the elimination chamber, retains his title.
00:27:33
Speaker
I see that you're up. Yeah. I'm going to go same first elimination. Jeff Hardy. I think AJ styles is going to get eliminated next. Um, followed by Randy Orton followed by Kofi. And then, yeah, Seamus. I think, I think Drew's winning this thing. I think he's, did you guys, was that the exact same? No, he, no, he had, um, he had AJ going out third. He had, I think he had, no, you had AJ second. No, I had AJ second.
00:28:03
Speaker
I don't think Seamus is going to go out second to last because I think they, I think that still might be a match we end up seeing at Mania. And I don't think that would happen at the end of being the last in the chamber. I see Seamus getting eliminated by Drew and then hitting him with a Brogue Kick and like setting him up for somebody else to possibly, possibly still depend on him. Seamus is coming in last though. So he does got an advantage set up.
00:28:24
Speaker
There is one bonus match we had announced on SmackDown tonight for the women's tag team championship. Shayna and I are going to be defending the belts against Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks. You know what you think? Well, crap. I think Shayna and I are going to retain. I don't see, I mean, it wouldn't make much sense. I mean, Bianca would have to drop it out. It wouldn't make much sense for her being the tag champ going into like mania. You know what I mean?
00:28:51
Speaker
I mean, it's not impossible, but to me, like, I think her big win, if she wins at Mania, it's going to be, you know, like, just, I think it's going to just be like that moment. Like, it's not going to be, oh, I'm the tag champion and I'm the world champion, you know? Okay. Marco, what do you think? Oh, that's tough.
00:29:11
Speaker
Do they give, does Sasha Banks need the women's tag team championships again? She doesn't, but I've told you guys before in kayfabe, if you're feuding with somebody and you end up coming together as a tag team, you get like a 15% boost on your XP. Remember, that's how Shayna and Naya originally won the belts. They were feuding with each other. Yeah, that's true. And they got teamed up. Bianca and Sasha, they're kind of like frenemies right now, so I think they could get a little bit of mojo going.
00:29:35
Speaker
But they weren't, uh, two, uh, two belts Belair. That's a, that's a difference. So you're like, what are they, what Nia and Shana were going at? One of them wasn't a champion. Um, so I'm not going to go down. I'm going to go with Nia and Shana. They're pretty unstoppable. And I could see something, some miscommunication happening with Bianca and Sasha. And that kind of leads into the WrestleMania match because they can't be best friends going into media. That's.
00:30:05
Speaker
It's not fun. Yeah. Daniel Bryan's team won the six man. No, the women or the six woman. Sorry. No, he didn't. Okay. I'll look at that real quick.
00:30:14
Speaker
Yeah, so looks like a pretty good lineup. I think there's a good chance we have two or three matches that could get added over the weekend. If they do, we'll get the predictions out in Sheena's IG story. But as of now, it's going to be the US championship match and the elimination chamber match on Smackdown. It's really going to determine if Marco can successfully defend the belt and hold it for two weeks straight. Here comes the money.
Go Figure Segment: Wrestling Figures News
00:30:40
Speaker
Here we go.
00:30:50
Speaker
All right, it's time for go figure. This is where we talk about all the latest in the world of wrestling figure wrestling figure news. We talk about our latest purchases and get you guys all up to speed on what is going down in figure collecting. This segment is again sponsored by ringside collectibles. Make sure you guys use code chick Foley to save 10% on all your purchases there. Marco, take us away with figure news.
00:31:13
Speaker
So we have a so it's not up today. Sorry. I think they're they're out of this sold out already So fan takeover series 2 it was up earlier this week on Amazon for pre-order Obviously, they sold out rather quickly and then today they popped up again So you can pre-order again today? I think they're I think all the links are down again not sure what's gonna happen, but
00:31:35
Speaker
It seems like if you just keep on checking back, I believe they're supposedly in April, mid-April, or beginning. So they might pop up again on Amazon, but they are there, all four of them. The names and pictures are all messed up.
00:31:51
Speaker
They don't represent the right figure. So you might see like Christian, it just has like Randy Orton on it. But the links are accurate. I just recorded the whole set. When they went up the other day, I have zero... Amazon will get you the figures. But yeah, those descriptions are all jacked up. So I just said, screw it. I'm working on all four and I'll see what I end up getting. Yeah. So yeah, they were up. I believe they're gone. And I posted that and a lot of people were commenting saying all the links down now. And I was like, yeah, I mean, you gotta be quick.
00:32:22
Speaker
Yeah, I'm pretty excited for that. Obviously, I need that X-Pac in my collection because, you know...
00:32:29
Speaker
Yeah, you're going to have to start a graveyard. You're going to have to start a graveyard display for all the legends that you take down. Yeah, you may have to get yourself that custom chick Foley since you won the prediction championship. You know what I mean? You took down the legend chick Foley, so you're going to have to get you that custom. Have you started to build your checklist for your Sean Waltman collection yet?
00:32:54
Speaker
Have not but I want to stick with elites. I don't think I'm gonna jump into the has bro Because that's to that's me. You can always you can always you can still go like the WCW toy biz and the There's still a lot there's still a lot of Xbox left out there the bone crunchers we just go with the I mean I just really kind of just wanted the one two three kid and I was that cuz you know I
00:33:18
Speaker
I mean, that's, that was a beginning and I'm the new one, two, three kid now. So that kind of represents who I am. It's a great figure too. I really do love it. I really wish we could get a heel one, two, three kid also in the black and red gear. Cause I always got the blue one from his like original debut. That'd be great. What else we got? So we have a, so we spoke about this actually last night on a fully poseable, but Kevin Sullivan.
00:33:41
Speaker
as a next step in the, uh, zombie sailor toys, uh, um, retro line that he has coming out. So, um, did you guys get to see that, uh, like little preview video he did or yeah, it was pretty awesome. So yeah, that's a, that was pretty exciting. I mean, hopefully a lot more legends going to jump on board that, you know, don't have legends deal with the WWE and most of the sketch of it today. It looks pretty rad. It's like, you know, so I don't want more legends. I want more members of the dungeon of doom. Oh yeah.
00:34:10
Speaker
That was my favorite iteration of uh, kevin sullivan, you know the taskmaster so give me you know, give me the yeti shark Kamala was in there for a little bit, you know, maybe we can finally get the kamala with the uh, the moon belly Um, yeah, give me the whole dungeon of doom and uh hasbro for me. That would be awesome Yeah, well i'm super excited about this. Uh as more and more I i'm assuming like as the months go by there's gonna be more reveals of uh
00:34:37
Speaker
Pretty much any any company that's doing like retro retro figures now So actually pretty excited about this the samurai to be kind of touched on this last night as well Like what are they like, you know, what are the value? like is the value gonna change on these these new forms of our Hasbro's if you want to call them that like We guys think is it I think it's gonna be kind of like what we touched on last night I think
00:35:00
Speaker
These are small batch made, you know, they're not like mass produced like the Hasbro's were and stuff like that. I think they're going to, you know, retain their value and if anything go up in value as the time to be exclusive. Yeah. I think these are going to be a little bit different value wise. I actually.
00:35:15
Speaker
I think they're going to be really, really expensive when they first come out and people miss out on them. Because like Sheena said, I got to imagine they're going to be small bats. But what I worry about, as far as them holding and actually increasing their value five and 10 years down the line, is the discoverability of these things. Because Jeff and Scott kind of mentioned that they're not made by Hasbro. They're not made by Mattel. I just wonder if down the line these things are going to kind of fall by the wayside as the people who are collecting at this time get older and people come and go out of the hobby.
00:35:45
Speaker
But think about how much we know about action figures and like the stuff that came out. I mean, you just saw those, you know, those new prototypes that came out and like somebody found that in a catalog that was probably stashed in an attic somewhere. Now we have the internet. So if you're searching for something, I mean, it's going to come up. So even collectors like on down the line, like if you type in bruiser Brody figure, it's going to pull up this zombie sailor toys, bruiser Brody, you know, I don't think people are going to have problems finding things in that way. I mean, whether they know what they're looking for or not, I mean, they may not be looking for that specific figure.
00:36:16
Speaker
Yeah, I think people look for that specific figure, but nobody's going to stumble upon it. People stumble upon WWF Hasbro's and stuff. They'll just search WWF Hasbro and see what's out there. I don't know if 10 years from now somebody's going to search zombie sailor toy and see what figures out there. I hope I'm wrong. I hope the line blows up and this thing's still going 10 years from now.
00:36:35
Speaker
That would be my one concern if anybody is out there looking at these things in investment, because that's kind of where collectibles are getting to be at. Some of these things kind of the price goes up on them so much over the years. But that would be the one thing I would worry about is just how discoverable they're going to be down the line. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, definitely.
00:36:53
Speaker
Moving on, I was super excited about when they debuted this on Twitter. Storm Collectibles is doing another Jushin Liger and it's based on his debut gear. So he has it about the horns. It was before the Horny phase. It's just his favorite dad joke. It looks really cool.
00:37:19
Speaker
It was, I believe at night, 1989, Tokyo Dome. He debuted that look. I mean, obviously he was wrestling before that, but he came in as Jushin Liger that night. He actually won that night as well. When are they going to give us unmasked Jushin? Yeah, Kishin Liger. That would be pretty awesome. That's probably next. That's really the basis for
00:37:43
Speaker
like the demon fin valor and like the fiend gimmick you know where it's like you have this like extremely vicious like unbeatable version of yourself so that would be pretty cool storm gives us that one this figure looks spectacular i'm sure it'll be great like all the storm jesusan thunders um but i just still the scale is just so off from from the mattel and jazz wear scale that uh i haven't been adding these guys into my collection yeah i don't know i agree they're not the uh
00:38:08
Speaker
Especially if you're trying to match them up with your elites and all that stuff. They're not bad. They're definitely high quality figures. It looks stunning. They're some of the best wrestling figures that have ever been named. There's no doubt about that. The capes are great. I love those metallic sparkly capes in the game and everything. They're cool because the capes have
00:38:32
Speaker
You can bend them and pose them. They got the wire at the bottom. So that's pretty awesome as well. They have tons of sets of different hands and stuff like that. You can do all different types of poses. I have mine set up with all three of them.
00:38:49
Speaker
they're all doing kind of like a almost like a Young Bucks slash Shawn Michaels type of thing. So I think I have like the first figure in the front doing the Shawn Michaels and then the other two doing like the the Young Bucks pose of the back. So yeah, if you're a Jushin fan, these are must adds to the collection. The only reason we don't have one is because we have a custom that we had made. Yeah, we didn't have that custom. I mean, we would definitely have the the Storm collectibles because I mean, you got to have at least one in the collection, you know, for sure.
00:39:16
Speaker
I'm hoping we get a pop Funko, Jason Thunder like I don't know. That would be so cool. You got to think that's coming at some point, like down the line. You would think, hopefully in LA.
00:39:29
Speaker
So after that so we have so I think we talked about this last week. This always happens We talk about like, you know unrivaled series whatever and like, oh my god Did you see the pictures of the you know, all this stuff and they're like literally the next day? So I was about to be going into a I saw the tweet that they were up for pre-order and I was about to have to go to a meeting for work and I literally texted Sheena like
00:39:53
Speaker
like unrivaled five up for pre-order, order them now, now, now, now. Go, go, stats, stats. And then I had to go in the meeting where I didn't have cell service and literally like had to grit my teeth for like 45 minutes. Cause I, you know, she'd have hadn't responded yet by the time when it was me. So I had no idea if she received it, you know, if Brent took her phone and it hit it in a cabinet or something. And like I'm picturing by the time I got out of this meeting that Ringside is going to have them on like pre-order nine, you know, I'm going to get them sometime in like 2026, but yeah, we got them though.
00:40:22
Speaker
Yeah, they did stick around for a little bit. Obviously, I mean, these figures have been like, once they go up on rank side, they're pretty much almost gone. They're almost sold out. It's pretty insane. Yeah. But yeah, definitely picked up like I think I think I just did the whole set. I didn't choose which ones.
00:40:40
Speaker
I mean, they're all I think there's there's one repeaters it to this hangman and John right in moxley Yeah, but hey, it isn't as tight so it's gonna be a distinctly different hangman I think it's gonna be the best thing man. We've gotten so far a quick pro tip also if you are into even if you don't necessarily want the whole set if you're getting the majority of them and
00:41:00
Speaker
If you order the complete set, they ship first from ringside. We've noticed that, at least with the AEW figures, I think it's the same with the elites also. Basically, when they start coming in, people are going to get the whole sets. I think they take them straight off the truck and send them off to shipping and get processed and go out. Whereas the people who are getting individual figures, they start busting those out about a little less than a week later. So if you want to be the absolute first to get these figures when they drop, order the whole set.
00:41:25
Speaker
Yeah, because actually I can attest to that because I think the last set that I got, actually on the box of the packaging, it says like, you know, box one of 200 or whatever. So they are pretty much just taking that whole box and just giving it to you, essentially. Yeah, I don't know if you've been able to send it on this way.
00:41:45
Speaker
Yeah, so definitely do that. Even if you're like, I don't want another Cody or whatever, just do the whole set. Just give it away if you have to. Yeah, I was going to say, you're not going to have any problem selling the extra figure that you don't want. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Especially if you're a good brother and you sell it for retail plus shipping.
00:42:06
Speaker
Yeah, obviously like, you know, around it, they're not the easiest figures to find right now. Right. That's only seen them in the wild one time. And that was taking a box right off a pallet. And then rushing over to the home good section. I think Tristan found a set around here. I don't know if he where he was in the area. But our buddy shoes up sleeves down on Instagram. He lives in the same area as Seth and I he's part of our holy fam and he I think he didn't. Didn't you see him on the pegs in a Walmart year at one time? I thought you saw a couple at the Walmart on NEMA.
00:42:34
Speaker
I don't think so, dude. No, but yeah, this Jungle Boy and the Luchasaurus are must adds to anyone's collection. I'm super excited to see the finished product of this Luchasaurus and see how they do it, but yeah, I love me some Jungle Boy and I'm stoked to add him to the collection, but yeah, you also have, we said Moxley, I think it's Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky, yeah.
00:42:59
Speaker
It seems like they have the belts too, so maybe we'll get to see what the AW tag team titles look like as well. It looks like it's from that. Tonight they won those, so that'd be pretty sick. But yeah, continuing on with jazzwares. In stock right now at Ringside Collectibles, UFC Series 1. We talked about this a little bit last night too as well.
00:43:23
Speaker
But they are in scale with everything else, so you can set up all your dream matches that you've been, especially with Connery Greger, because he's kind of the guy that everyone wants to be in sports entertainment or wrestling, just because he has a gimmick. His gimmick is pretty hellish, so I think you do find in that world.
00:43:43
Speaker
Pretty heelish. He's the he's the helios of the heels. Well, he makes you like it. He's like, he's like, oh, he's a, he's a likable heel, but you have to, I mean, he's, he's definitely not. Um, I don't know. It's just because he's got charisma. You know what I mean? It's not necessarily because he's like likable. He's funny. I think, yeah, he's, he's funny, which also makes him, you know, endearing. I think the other thing is for the longest time, he backed it up. True. Very true. Yes. The longest time he backed it up. It's also a little bit of a luster because he's, you know, he's taken a couple of L's, but, uh,
00:44:12
Speaker
He's still he's still a legend, you know, he's definitely in the top ten You know MMA fighters of all time. I'd say I got my my Connors on the way right now I cannot wait to get it I saw some photography of him post it up with unrivaled Kenny Omega. Yeah, the scale looks perfect It's gonna be really cool having this guy on the shelf alongside my wrestling figure. So I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, definitely. Um, is it you guys get that the did you get the Amanda the event of dude is or I
00:44:38
Speaker
No, I didn't just cuz You know, I hope this line is really successful, but I didn't really care for that individual figure I just I looked at it didn't love the look of it So I'm passing but I really hope this line does well cuz like I mentioned last night I really want that scale octagon That's my number one goal for this line to get up real scale octagon You didn't wanna you know, what are the other ladies shaking in their boots like Becky? Yeah, he didn't want Rhonda getting scared
00:45:08
Speaker
Well, that was a brutal fight. Oh man. That was so bad. Biggest disappointment. I was so hyped. We invited everybody over that night. I was so stoked for Rhonda's comeback and then it was just, I couldn't believe that it happened like that. I was like, I was shocked. I knew Nunez was not, you know, was not to be messed with, but I thought for sure after Rhonda had went MIA and kind of just like, you know, buried herself in the sand for a little bit. Once her reemergence happened that she wasn't going to go out like that, you know?
00:45:38
Speaker
Yeah, I always said she should have, she should have a match before that. Like a few fights before, she should have jumped head first into that. That's, that's one lady you don't want to jump head first into. Yeah. But moving on. So I got my notification today, uh, earlier, actually I think I got a late yesterday and just seen it, uh, this morning, my email, but a lot of people started getting their notification. So ultimate edition eight, uh,
00:46:08
Speaker
Macho Man, Randy Savage, and Lusty Eyes Edge is headed to your doorstep. Yeah, you better watch out for that Lusty Eyes Edge. You're talking about your lady figures. They're all going to be pregnant and out of commission. Yeah, we get our shipping notification also. I'm skeptical on the Macho Man. I really wish, I'm sure the figures don't look cool, but I really wish we would have got Macho in one of his more truly iconic attires. I was hoping they would just run back WrestleMania 7 Macho again.
00:46:36
Speaker
in ultimate form, but it should look pretty cool. It's definitely a solid throwback to the Hasbro Macho Man. Yeah, a lot of people were super hyped for the figure. I think it's Macho. Macho's figure's always sell. Yeah. And it may be like his second defining moments figure. I wasn't really that hyped when I saw the picture online, but then I saw it in person and I was like, okay, this figure's incredible. So I'll keep an open mind on it, but I'm definitely a little bit more excited for Edge than the Macho Man.
00:47:00
Speaker
Yeah, so like I said, especially with the, uh, the lusty eyes edge, like she would choose, watch her wrestling, like edge was her, one of our favorites. So hopefully, I mean, hopefully it doesn't go end up missing. Good looking dude. Yeah. Him and him and that Mandy Rose figure together, they'd be damaging.
00:47:21
Speaker
Your Beth Phoenix figures are gonna get mad, but yeah Beth is gonna be pissed Did you see my uh, did you see my edge figure? It's uh, there's two in a box. I don't know. Yeah, it just says matcha man's in here. What the heck happened edge? Marco what uh, what odd you pick up this week, man?
00:47:38
Speaker
Let me see. I really didn't pick up any figures this week. I mainly got stuff that I ordered. So I finally got my Hasbro maniacs Hasbro book that they have.
00:47:53
Speaker
Yeah, it's awesome. It's almost like a catalog. The way they set it up, it's actually pretty cool. You almost want to order from it if you could. You scroll through all the pages like, oh my god, this is so sick. This is so sick. And at the end, you want to see a mail order page where you check off what you want to... Obviously, it's not there, but it's a really awesome book. Highly recommend it. I have that along with my LJN book as well.
00:48:17
Speaker
And the other thing that I got in the mail was the, I wore it last night on video. It was the Nation of Domination long sleeve sweater from this podcast, the Black Razzlein podcast. If you haven't listened to it, it's actually a really awesome podcast. Funny dudes. That guy grugs over there a lot too, like they have him,
00:48:40
Speaker
uh co-hosting sometimes who are there the banter is i mean you want to hear something he's been he's been talking about that podcast for a few years now or a couple years and yeah i haven't yet to check it out just because i have so many freaking podcasts in my you know podcast lineup my queue but uh yeah since you started listening i'm definitely gonna check it out and see what it's all about yeah they're good dudes yeah so that's pretty much it nothing nothing in figure form everything else is i guess it is doing social distancing and everything's you know coming to the mail nothing
00:49:08
Speaker
actually spotted because it's dry in my area. Yeah, same. We grabbed the Royal 1.93 jacket from Chalk Line this week. That thing's spectacular. Very, very nice. It's one of their satin jackets, so it's a little bit nicer than the typical fanimation jackets. One thing that's cool that I did not realize until we actually had it in hand today is that Bret Hart and Razor Ramon on the back of it, they're actually airbrushed. I thought it was just portraits that they had screen printed onto it, but it's airbrushed artwork on there.
00:49:36
Speaker
It looks sick. It's a very very nice jacket looking forward to rocking that when we go out and then she was posted a ton of pictures on there we got the The legends of lucha said mass republic went ahead and sent us early release versions of the accessory packs and the figures so Sheena just give them your initial thoughts, you know, she's holding them in hand right now checking them out. What do you think of these guys? How did they do?
00:49:59
Speaker
Oh, I think they look amazing. I mean, they're stunning, you know, the details on the masks and the tattoo paint apps and everything look incredible. The additional head sculpts look good. I haven't opened these yet because I've been waiting for you. We're going to do an unbox of mania. And of course, you know, our schedule's been like insane this week or, you know, just haven't been able to get it together. But, uh, yeah, I'm pumped to get these out of the box and feel the articular, the other articulation and whatnot. What about the accessory packs?
00:50:25
Speaker
Oh yeah. The accessory packs are cool. They got like a, we had a dog collar. We got a, uh, you know, a thing that you chop corn with. I can't remember what the actual name of it is, but like, it's like the children of the corn, like, you know, hatchet thing. Is it a, was it a skife? Yeah. Is that right Marco? Is it a skife?
00:50:45
Speaker
Marco's a genius. Marco lives in the Northeast. He's not like, you know, we need to ask Jordan. Jordan Wells would be the one to ask what this is. Yeah, but you get a barbed wire bat. So it's the the Lucha de los Muertes set and then the other accessory sets called what? Let me see. Where's the other accessory sets? I think
00:51:06
Speaker
We got the Lucha Extrema set. So yeah, super cool. You get a chair. Like I said, the dog collar, you get a center block match. You get a nightstick, a microphone. The additional head sculpt that comes with Penta is just insane. It's got the mask that's ripped and the detail just looks ridiculous. I don't know. It's crazy. The Major Bros posted some side-by-sides of them with the AEW Unrivaled. They are a little bit smaller, it looks like, than the Unrivaled series.
00:51:36
Speaker
But AWU unrivaled is like a touch big. True. Yeah. So these guys may be just perfect. Yeah, they're not big guys. But yeah, very cool figures. And for those wondering at home, yes, it is a Skype that, you know, more commonly known as like the Grim Reaper's tool that he's always carrying around and stuff. So yeah, yeah, figures look great. Very excited to see what else Master Republic cranks out. We already have the Fanaticos, which is kind of their answer to the basics line. We got the tie of Valkyrie, new NXT signing and the Hoovin 2 Guerrera ordered. So support these guys, because
00:52:04
Speaker
The more companies the merrier, you know, we're going to get more figures coming out. It's going to be easier to get the figures on the pegs because there's going to be more competition and we're going to be getting more, a wider variety of wrestlers showing up. So help support master public. They're a great company, great figures, and I cannot wait to see what else comes out from them in 2021.
00:52:38
Speaker
All right, it's time for quarantine and chill. This is where we give you guys some suggestions to keep it trying to kilo while we're still on lockdown and stuck inside with the cold weather. So Marco, what do you got for us this week?
00:52:49
Speaker
Alright, so my pick is the Netflix documentary. It's a it's a it's about the Cecil Hotel. I think that's all crime scene the vanishing at Cecil Hotel.
Entertainment Recommendations
00:53:01
Speaker
It's a fairly recent happened a few years back. Pretty sure everyone's seen the, you know, the the video of the Asian woman that was kind of, you know, acting erratic at a elevator
00:53:16
Speaker
door and, you know, she's like, you know, gets in the elevator, kind of like peeking outside and, you know, the chance of disappearing and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this, this documentary is based on that, but also based on the hotel itself. Basically the history of it, when it started and, you know, the strange happenings that happened at this hotel, they interview a lot of people that worked at the hotel and, you know, people that stayed and lived
00:53:43
Speaker
you know, during like the 70s, 80s, even 90s and stuff like that. So I will give away a lot of stuff because they get deep into like the different, you know, they call it internet sluice, the people that kind of like dissected the video. They found a water tank on the ceiling, around the roof, right?
00:54:02
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, because someone was like showering or use air and faucet in one of their rooms and you know, some some unrecognizable fluid was coming through. So that's what that's what took it off. And, you know, they went up and checked that it was it was her they found her remains and everything. You know, basically, you know, the documentary goes through the whole like, you know, where she started and, you know,
00:54:24
Speaker
how she ended up at the hotel and they interview everyone that worked there and everyone was there at the time. Her whereabouts in and around that hotel area while she was visiting. She's from Canada, so she was visiting the United States at the time. But yeah, it's pretty- I remember when that story first popped off, so definitely check it out. Yeah, it's pretty interesting. It was first in the news. You guys definitely went morbid this week. Sheena's rocking with the vampire. Tell them about your picture.
00:54:52
Speaker
So we are finally getting around to listening to or watching what we do in the shadows. We watched the movie a few years ago and I mean, I loved it. It's just totally, totally right in my sense of humor. I love all things, you know, vampire, of course, but they did a TV show based on the movie. It's all the same cast of characters, but it's just so freaking funny. I told Seth the other day as we were watching it, I was like, this is basically like the office
00:55:17
Speaker
for vampires, you know, they follow them around at night, like, you know, doing their things and kind of like interweaving themselves with, you know, humans and how the awkward the interactions, because these are like ancient vampires. They're not like new vampires. They're like, you know, vampires live forever. So these guys are like 700 years old. And they haven't, they haven't really evolved with the times, you know what I mean? So it's really funny to see them interact with, with other humans. And they have a day walking vampire. That's pretty hilarious. He's an energy vampire. But yeah, if you haven't yet, and you like that kind of like mockumentary style talking heads,
00:55:47
Speaker
style of TV show and you're into vampires, you will definitely like what we do in the shadows. It comes on FX. We've been watching that through Hulu, but pretty much anywhere we can get FX on demand, you can find what we do in the shadows. Yeah, it's good for a few LOL moments every episode. Definitely check it out. Awesome.
00:56:18
Speaker
It's time for Random Merch of the Week. This segment is brought to you by Pro Wrestling Tees.
Merchandise and Collectibles Talk
00:56:24
Speaker
Stay tuned. Our Chick Foley WrestleMania shirt is going to be dropping there this week. Go to Pro Wrestling Tees and just search Chick Foley, or you can hit the link in Sheena's profile to take you to the official merch store of the show. Marco has found some marvelous random merch for us this week. Tell us what we tracked down on eBay, Marco.
00:56:43
Speaker
Yeah, so I don't know why I searched for this. I have no clue. That was just, oh, you know what it was? I think, you know, a lot of, you know, we've a lot of collectors in our group that, you know, collect, bring more gear. So I was like, kind of curious as to what, like, some of the stuff might cost, depending on, you know, obviously the superstar and
00:57:04
Speaker
you know, what match it was and what the gear looked like and all that stuff. So I did some searching and went on eBay and said, you know, ring-worn gear. And usually they give you like the best to the least. So I was like, let's go with price. Let's see what the most pricey thing I could find on eBay. And it was actually rather astonishing. It was actually Marvelous Marc Marrow, ring-worn gear with the robe, the trunks, headband, the whole thing.
00:57:34
Speaker
I believe it's $14,000 right now. I believe the person did have it up for auction because in the description it talks about bidding, but it's actually up for just regular purchase. $14K for an offer on it too.
00:57:49
Speaker
Yeah, they actually have pictures of a Mark Marrow, you know, actually holding the robe and all that stuff. And did you see it comes with that beautiful Mark Marrow bone crunching action figure as well? Yeah, that's based on. Yep. Yeah, so he was actually wearing that on his figure is actually wearing that same exact gear. So if you're a figure collector slash ring worn collector, this is definitely like right up your alley. It was like a perfect match.
00:58:15
Speaker
I don't say so myself. Very cool. So out of his three big personas, what did you prefer, Marco? Did you like Marvelous Marc Marrow, The Wild Man Marc Marrow, or Johnny B. Bad? Oh, man. I was a Johnny B. Bad guy. I think that was cool back in the day. He had the confetti cannon. We had that awesome San Francisco Toymakers figure of him. Yeah, I mean, he was basically like if Little Richard was a wrestler. That was really the gimmick. But yeah, he was cool. He was so old or two. Yeah. And I remember they thought Wild Man was going to be really big, but he kind of
00:58:44
Speaker
He had that bad knee injury before he ever really had a chance to get off the ground in WWF. And then, yeah, by the time he came back, he really wasn't the same guy anymore. That's why he had to switch it up and go to the boxer gimmick instead of being the high flyer like he was as Johnny B. Bad and wild man. Yeah, what was your favorite sheet out of his give ex?
00:59:05
Speaker
I like marvelous, Mark. I like the, you know, the jerky butthole, you know. It's funny if we was at his most famous when him and when he was feud with Sable, he'd make Sable come out with a potato sack. Yeah. That's definitely my most memorable version of Mark Marrow, for sure. Yeah. I love Johnny B. Bad, though. It was like that gimmick where you didn't think he was any good in the ring at all, because he was just like,
00:59:28
Speaker
kind of like, you know, look, he looked real pretty and stuff like that. You know, I got this guy isn't really anything in the ring. And as soon as you step foot those ropes, he was like, yeah, he showed everyone that he was like one of the one, if not like one of the top athletes in WCW at the time. So yeah, it's pretty awesome. There's a, there's a string of like, I swear to God, it seemed like it was like eight straight paper views in 1995 on WCW where the first match
00:59:51
Speaker
is Johnny B bad versus diamond Dallas page and all the matches last like 20 minutes man like seriously so you know some 95 WCW if you want to uh if you want to check it out yeah it is he was he was like the guy for the opening match that whole year yeah
01:00:17
Speaker
It's retro wrestling and recommendation of the week time. This segment is brought to you by ChalkLine. And with that being said, it is time for our ChalkLine check-in where we asked the heel husband what pair of his 60 ChalkLine shorts he's wearing tonight. I'm rocking a classic WCW Monday Nitro shorts. They actually posted a little teaser shot earlier this week that they were releasing some more Nitro shorts in their premium line. So I'd definitely be picking those up because
01:00:42
Speaker
Anytime I see that Nitro logo with the flames, everything just hits me right in the field spot because I remember being so excited when Nitro debuted back in 1995. Speaking of Chalk Line shorts, man, what do we got to do to get some Marc Marrow Chalk Line shorts going? That'd be pretty cool, huh, Marco?
01:00:57
Speaker
Oh no. I mean, we just put it out there, put the word and play the seed. Yeah. Somebody's going to spend, yeah. Somebody's going to spend $14,000 for money. They'll drop 44 on chalkline.com. Yeah. Definitely. We never got like legit ring gear style Kevin Owens shorts, do we? Yeah. Never had Kevin Owens, Brock Lesnar. Pretty much anybody that wears shorts in the ring. Street Profits. We never got any Montes, or not Montes, Dawkins shorts. Yeah, they got street proper shorts.
01:01:25
Speaker
They did they had the docking shorts. Yeah, you do the Brock Brock shorts if they rock you could do a stone cold Steve Austin's denim shorts. Yeah Silky dead. Yeah, that would be a look
01:01:40
Speaker
All right, so we both went elimination chamber for our retro picks I'll go first I picked a mask that just happened to be on the elimination chamber show since from 2015 Seth Rollins has been champ for a couple months at this point and in the main event he's defending against Dean Ambrose So this is one where they give us the classy the classic dusty finish Dean hit dirty deeds on Seth Rollins and
01:02:01
Speaker
got the pin for the one,
Elimination Chamber Trivia and Highlights
01:02:03
Speaker
two, three. But suddenly, uh, you know, the original ref wakes up and he says, wait, wait, wait. No, Seth Rollins is disqualified for hitting me. So they had to reverse the decision. The fans went crazy. Uh, this is something that the dusty roads and Ric Flair did a lot in the eighties just to really get the crowd worked into.
01:02:18
Speaker
Worked into a frenzy to see their hero win the belt, only to have their decision reversed within a couple of minutes. But really memorable match and it ignited that pretty cool Dean and Seth feud from the middle of 2015. Marco, what's your pick? So I went with the elimination chamber match before it was an actual event. So SummerSlam 2003, really good match. It was Triple H, Goldberg, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, and Kevin Nash.
01:02:48
Speaker
Actually in this match so our loaded match. Yeah triple H with Ric Flair because he's like he's a like manager at the time or whatever Triple H goes over obviously in this match defeats defeats everybody so my quote I actually Told you guys before the show that I had a quick question for you. It's a little quiz little pop quiz Who has the most elimination chamber wins out of any superstar?
01:03:16
Speaker
Most chamber wins at any super small like eliminations like actually what the elimination chamber match I'm gonna say edge I have no she's googling it right now. Are you kidding me? She's for both of us. Oh, yeah. Well, I already know the answer so
01:03:40
Speaker
Did you say is it Triple H? Yes. Yeah for for elimination chamber I'm over here racking my brain to answer and I looked to the left and she is googling most elimination chamber well I thought he was asking I thought he was asking you first of all second of all my initial gut reaction would have been Triple H because I mean, you know, why wouldn't I mean? Triple H is always putting himself over and shit. You know what I mean? It was a second most wins Elimination chamber wins
01:04:10
Speaker
Is it edge? No, it's not edge. Chris Jericho? John Cena. He has two elimination chamber wins. And then after that, it's just like nobody wins like multiple. It's just, you know, one after another. So yeah, Triple H holds the holds. I don't think anyone's going to do that. And I think that's why he probably went that route. You know, I have the most elimination chamber wins because no one's ever went like four in a row or four separately. Um,
01:04:38
Speaker
Cody's going to create the elimination chamber in AEW and win the first five times they have it. What are they even going to call it? What kind of a Jace thing are they going to call it in AEW? The Cody cage. The Cody cage. The denomination dome. Yeah, the domination dome. That'll be what it is. The dome of division. It's that time again. Listener mail. Sheena, what do you got for us this week?
01:05:08
Speaker
All right, so this one, I'm gonna address this one to you since you're the 2K master around here. I'm gonna say, this is from our buddy Matt Carlos. He says, let's say you're starting your own brand or 2K universe. Which six titles would you choose to represent your brand? Which design would each of you use for said titles?
01:05:27
Speaker
So I'd go with the classic winged eagle world title with teal strap, the ultimate warrior hat. The classic intercontinental title with the white strap. I'm going with the European championship. The classic tag team belts that were around from the mid 80s up into the attitude era.
01:05:46
Speaker
I'm gonna go with the cruiserweight championship the purple strap bring that out and then the six-man tag I think I think the six-man tag belts could be something that's very cool if they brought that back So I'm a big opponent bringing those in Is that six if I got one more? You're supposed to be keeping up
01:06:02
Speaker
And then I'm gonna throw in the classic women's belt too. The one that the London Blaze had. The one that went in the trash on Nitro. I always liked that. Shocking. Seth does something in memory of a London Blaze. He loves her. His fling that he had. His fling he had at WrestleCon with her right before my very eyes. You know what I mean? I'm sitting right beside him.
01:06:23
Speaker
scandalous. The next question comes in from Jason Cook. He says, if you could slap the T total shit out of someone famous or not, who would it be? Good question. I have a laundry list of... I have like one person I have in mind, but I'm not going to say it on the air. I'd probably go... I'm going to keep it to the world of wrestling. If I could slap one person,
01:06:52
Speaker
Probably Earl Hebner, just for lying to Bret Hart about the Montreal screw job. That's not a bad pick. I would say just based on recency bias, I would say I would slap the T total shit out of Ted Cruz at the moment. Just for that shenanigans he pulled going down to, you know, where did he go? Cancun. Yeah, he went to Cancun. So yeah, I would slap him. What about you, Marco?
01:07:19
Speaker
Oh, man. I'm such a nice person. I don't want to slap anybody. I'm joking. Let me see. I was going to say the Miz, but he seems to get slapped around a lot when he says things. For Seth, I'll say Cody. Cody deserves a slap on the face. I love that. Wow. He'll turn. Marco did the heel turn on Cody. Interesting. All right. We're going to do one more.
01:07:47
Speaker
This is from Josh Ellis.
Spontaneous Purchases and Community Engagement
01:07:49
Speaker
He says, has there ever been a figure that you weren't planning on buying until the moment you saw it in person? For me, it would be the first defining moments undertaker. I was still easing into Mattel's at the time, and this wasn't one that I planned to get. But when I saw it in the store, the head sculpt really won me over. It's funny that you literally just talked about this earlier in the show. Yeah.
01:08:07
Speaker
Mine is a recent one is actually the unrivaled Adam page. We had an awesome custom elite Adam page from our buddy the mad reaper that Basically the same look as the unrivaled one. So I didn't really think I needed that figure But then I saw it in person and I don't know it just it really stood out to me It looked it just looked much better in person than online and I immediately had to have it. How about you Marco? I don't know if I ever had that
01:08:33
Speaker
That that type of thing only only one I can think of is probably like the The network the network spotlight I think was like that. Maybe the gender the gender Mahal they came out every time I was that like a target I like passed by it so many times and I was a psych I was like don't want it but then like Same thing head sculpt was I mean, it looks just like it looks like a miniature gender. Yeah
01:09:00
Speaker
I mean it came with the world tie on everything like that. It did kind of like mark a time where he became the you know World Champion. He was a 50th, right? Yeah, yeah, you can run with the belt to end up holding that thing for about seven months, man Yeah, so yeah, I had a scale back and getting it
01:09:17
Speaker
Nice. All right. So that's it for episode 116.
