Austin 316 says I just whipped your.

Stone cold. Stone Cold. Stone Cold.

You sit there and call yourself the gorilla, yet you hee haw out here like a jackass.

What?

I said shut up. You can kiss my ass.

Kumbaya, my lord. Kumbay.

What?

That's the bottle drive.

Welcome to the Bottom Line Wrestling cast the courier of Stone Cold Steve Austin. And we have a special episode for you this week. It is 3:16 day, March 16th. Mike Prue along with JV and joining us just as he did last year for 316 day, Rick Bibi.

Rick, baby.

This is a. This is. This is becoming an annual occurrence. I guess.

Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah.

Might as well just have you on.

Yeah, why not?

I mean last, last year it was just for one match, wasn't it?

Well, it was shotgun Saturday night.

Yeah, that's what it was. Yep.

We watched the episode, the whole episode

a year or two before that. I don't know if it was for 316 day, but you had me on for Live Wire. The live Wire. Yeah.

Y. Yeah. I just looked back to see what 316 day specials we've had and this is our eighth one now. Crazy.

Wow.

But yeah, last year we did Shotgun. The year before that was Kevin Owens versus Austin Watch along.

Oh yeah.

Livewire did a Scott hall tribute in 2022. 2021. We did highway to Hell. The whole build up to that with Talking Taker 2020. We covered the whole king of the ring, all the, all the lead it up matches to the King of the Ring, Stone Cold King. And then ironically enough, the first 316 day special was a watch along for Austin versus Dude Love from Over the Edge 98. And that matches on this mixtape. So we're gonna see it again on 316 days. That's a fun match too. So I don't mind seeing that again. And it's been seven years since we've watched it. So.

Yeah, and it is a good match. I. I like that match too.

All right, so with that said, please give us a follow at Bottom Line cast. Follow me Mike Pru at NPRU 83. Follow JV at John Van Damage. Follow Rick at Leo Y85. So what we're doing today guys, as I just kind of mentioned, is we're watching this mixtape. So the WWE Vault, which is pretty damn good. You know, they have a lot of stuff that is unseen and they're dropping all the time and they just dropped a mixtape around like three, four days ago. Stone Cold. So over nearly Four hours of just matches, promos, unseen stuff, rare stuff. So we're gonna break it into two parts. We're gonna watch half of it today. So we're gonna watch about two hours of it today. And then maybe another episode in the future will cover the second half of the mixtape. Should be fun. There's a lot of stuff on here. I mapped it all out. I didn't watch it all, but I mapped it out just so we knew what was coming up on here. So a lot of interesting stuff. So I'm not going to spoil it now. We'll. We'll see it as it comes up.

It always seems.

It always seems like prove that whenever we're going to do a special episode, whether it's you guys in this or when we do. Did the Scorpio on the Extreme Live cast. The WWE Vault like knows because they drop a mixtape, you know.

I know, it's weird. They know we're about to do a 316 day special or just they. They celebrate 316 day now as well.

Yeah.

So it makes sense that they would put out Austin stuff now, you know, right before 3:16 day.

Oh, totally.

You know, they sell merch and everything too. 316 day. So they, they're definitely on board for covering it. But I don't know, it wasn't really anything when we first started doing these specials. I don't remember it being something that WWE even recognized.

No.

Unless they. Unless March 16th was a. Was like a Monday and they, you know, had stone Cold show up on Raw. That's about it.

Yeah. Anyway, that's there. So you guys can watch along with us. It's on YouTube now. You're going to run into the problem where you're going to get a ton of ads as you're watching it. So if you're watching. That's right. Yeah. But we're not. We have a downloaded version, so.

Okay. All right.

Actually I have YouTube Premium now, so.

Oh, nice.

I get that for 7.99amonth because I'm considered a student again.

Nice.

I get that. And I get like YouTube Premium, YouTube Music, all for eight bucks a month.

Wow.

Not bad.

So, yeah, with premium, I think you probably could just download it and then.

Yeah, I get like. I just signed up for it the other day because I had YouTube music and they were charging me 16.99amonth and I'm like. Or something like that. I'm like, what the. And then there's always shit I want to listen to on YouTube, but I gotta have the video open. So I'm like, what's YouTube Premium? I'm tired of this shit. And then I was like, wait, if you're a student799, you get YouTube Premium and YouTube Music. I'm like, oh, no brainer. So did that whole verification shit.

Nice. You have to use like a school email address or something.

Yeah. Cuz I'm registered for the graduate thing, so technically I'm a student.

Yep.

So sweet. The deal.

Yeah.

So we. We won't have the problem with the ads because we're watching a version that Rick was able to put together. Downloaded version Gangster. Yep,

brother.

Yeah. Yeah. Listeners out there, though, if. When you get to an ad, just pause us until the ad's over and then click once the ads over. All right, so we're gonna get right into it because we got a long haul here. We're gonna break this into two parts today. We'll take a break like an hour through quickly, and then right back to it. We're going to watch 2 hours, 12 minutes. It's 3 hours and 48 minutes total, but we're going to watch the first 2 hours and 12 minutes. Maybe there's actually a segment right after. But hey, we might save it for next time. It's the Booker T. And Stone Cold grocery shopping.

That is the best segment ever.

So that'll either be the very last thing we watch, or we'll save it for the first thing we watch next time. But that's brilliant. All right, so enough of my yammering here. Let's get on with it. You guys ready?

Yeah. Yeah.

All right, I'll give a countdown. Three down to one and say play. When I say play, click play. And they're gonna kick us off with Stone Cold inauguration. The birth of 316.

Yes. Okay.

Also, one other thing to point out. This is a mixtape, so the events aren't chronological. They're just all over the place, hopping all around. All right, just want to point that out. 3, 2, 1, play.

The first thing I want me done won't be done.

That piece of crap out of my ring. You know, I gotta wonder if. If he got any heat from Jake for calling him a piece of crap, you know,

I don't know. Jake probably was cool.

Yeah, I think he was.

I think. I think Jake would be cool to be like, hey, man, you used it in a promo and it got you over.

That's.

That's all good, you know?

3:16, Austin. 3:16 says I just whipped your ass.

Goosebumps.

There it is.

All Right. We're over the edge. Look at that guy. He jacked up, got his hands up like he's in a roller coaster.

Yeah, no,

in the cork.

Screw.

Vince looking yolked.

Okay, so Pat Patterson is the special guest referee. No, not referee, special guest announcer. Y. McMahon's a special guest referee. I think Brisco was timekeeper.

Yeah, Brisco is the timekeeper.

And dude Love has his nice hair. His nice combed hair.

Y. And his. His. His teeth in.

He's got that in his hair.

And the. And he's got the. That like, awful heart drawn on his. Like. It's a tattoo.

Like mom tattoo, right?

Yeah, looks like it. His kids probably drew it on his arm, you know.

Probably.

There he goes.

Man.

People don't get pops. I mean, they do, but it's not the same today. Like. Yeah. You know, Cody Rhodes comes out and the whole crowd sings along and all that, but it's not the same.

Well, they just. They just like, sing along now.

Yeah.

That's their thing. No matter who it is. They sing for the baby face. Then the hill comes out. And they'll do this too, right?

Yeah. La Knight doing his thing. No matter if he's a face or a heel, everybody's gonna still to them.

Yeah.

You know, doesn't matter.

Love the best.

Yep.

Studded.

I love that entrance. The over the edge, like with all the cars and. Yeah, that was cool.

Yeah. Yeah. They don't.

Like when they used to do unique.

That's what I was gonna say is they don't do unique anymore. Like, people. I forget who it was. That is brought up the fact of, like, all the arenas now just look uniform.

Yep.

Like, not even just in wrestling. Like, it used to be. Be the. When you'd watch it like a Celtics game. If you watch the Celtics. No. Playing at the Garden, it looked different than when they were playing at the, you know, wherever. The Forum or wherever. When they were playing the Lakers. Now it's like everything looks the same.

Yeah.

It's just the. The logo in the middle is different.

Right. If you just watch like old prime time wrestling episodes, because most of those things were recorded at house shows, you could tell immediately where they are just by looking at the floor or.

Yeah, like.

Yep.

Yeah, that's Boston Garden. It's. It's yellow in the background.

Yeah. Well, it's like. It's like we've pointed out on the extreme live cast, when they go to certain arenas, they have that separate camera angle that we love, like the Manhattan center or whatever.

Yep.

You don't get that in, in wrestling anymore. Really anything but, you know.

Right.

Everything's shot the same.

Yeah. So you don't get the, the unique entrances either. Which is sad because it was, you know, some of those are really cool. Like the Madison Square Garden for Royal Rumble 2000 when they, they had the hard cam and facing the entrance so you'd see the guys coming out, you know.

There is not two referees. There's not a referee in the ring or out of the ring.

There is one jacked up Vince McMahon with this cut off shirt.

Yeah. But he's got to have the striped wristbands.

Oh yeah, yeah. Funny. I'm about to his pants cuz. The underde is coming out. Business is going to pick up. So Undertaker's role in this is he's basically like a enforcer. Outside. Outside ring enforcer.

Yep.

Unofficially, he's just out there don't around stooges.

Right. He's just, he's just there to keep them from interfering.

Way to slow things down on the taker.

Yep.

So far. Match is about to start now. We gotta wait five more minutes.

It's like the Sandman, you know.

Yeah.

I'm falling asleep, junior. That's how I feel.

Getting tired.

Even Undertaker's got his hair nicely combed.

He put the VDAL Sassoon into

getting it conditioner.

Edge and Booker T feuding over a Japanese shampoo commercial.

That's right. Austin's like, what the right.

He's like, could you walk this up?

Yeah, he's thinking something. All right, there's the bell.

Let's go. I think things may have started to go awry for Mr. McMahon and company. I don't think this was in their business.

Does the crouch hit and kick his ass?

I think so.

Sounds like it.

30 pounds weight.

Advantage, not muscle.

Yeah. No fat advantage.

Say that's all. That's all in his ass.

Yeah, it has the fattest ass.

Austin's like what, 250? So he loves 280s, I guess.

Yeah, but it's like ass to rest of his body ratios.

Like his upper body. They're about. I mean I'm not saying he's exactly. But they're close enough in upper body. But then. Yeah, dude loves ass. And thighs are so much chunkier.

He's got that like permanent diaper look.

Diaper ass.

Yeah.

Like I expect to hear like that diaper sound babies have like

bang, bang.

He shits himself.

McMahon has to fix his earpiece.

Yeah.

What the. I can't hear what's going on here?

What's going on?

Thing doesn't work.

You're fired.

Hear me?

Fire.

You're done. Austin.

Now the side headlock again. Shoots him off, varies the knee to the abdomen. And Duke over cover again.

Doesn't even hook the leg. Oh, that's a nice headlock takedown. You don't think of. Mick Foley is being a good technical wrestler, but he can. He can do a damn good takedown.

One knot. Shoulder was down. Hard. Elbow by stone cold.

Uggs dx. What the hell is that?

Drops

throwing him down like a sack of potatoes.

There's the teeth.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Love how he just bare hand picks him up, Stomps him and throws him into the crowd.

He's lost his smile.

Good.

L. That's an inside reference.

Yeah. Stop that.

Oh, man, I miss Joe's press.

That's my favorite move in, like, any video game.

Oh, yeah. All right.

Standing there like he's all creepy, but he's. He's standing like. I don't know what to do. What do I do with my hands?

That's what he's doing. His hands are like. Where do I go? He looked like he wasn't supposed to be in the camera shot. He's like, am I supposed to be over here?

Right? Like, he should have been. He should have been on the other side of the ring,

just standing near the stairs the whole time.

Come on, Dude.

Undertaker in this very ring, in this

very building, this guy. You, Dude Love. You can't sound that badass when you're saying the words. Dude love you, Dude Love that guy.

With the guy at the. The corner of the.

A referee admonishing a. A Russell like that. A Russian leg sweep there, dude.

Davey, did you get that Infinity Gauntlet today, or is that yesterday? Yesterday. Yesterday.

Pretty cool.

Yeah, cool.

And I picked up contest of champions, one through three.

It's on the wall.

He hooked me up.

What the hell is him. Let's go. Stone cold.

Yeah.

And they're in unison.

Yeah, they. They really were.

Crowds got their together sanctioned match with

no special stipulations to the best of our knowledge. Defense cheer dud on.

He called him Vince.

He up.

Did you notice that?

Oh, he did.

Lawless said we called him Vincent. He's like, oh, Mr. McMahon.

Nice. Vince Yellen instructions.

Be the third sad case we leave here tonight. A rattlesnake will not die.

Swinging neck up.

Love it. Austin.

Oh, big cloth line, too.

Austin just placing dude love with a three clothesline. I think Mr. McMahon needs to admonish him again, not breaking any rules.

Oh, Mandible should have had a different name for it on his. Dude love.

Yeah.

Oh, I love when fully does that.

Yeah, and then he does the claw while he's still got the.

He's been doing that in the wcw. Nobody does it better.

No, he's awesome. So he lost his ear. Oh, yeah. Junior just said it right on cue. Must have watched this before.

You can't. You've never seen this before.

Pro. Watched this yesterday.

Yeah, he. He watches it to go to bed every night.

Actually, no, I did watch this the other night. I put it on and do I

know pro or do I know pro?

And then I was like, oh, we got to do this as a watch along.

Just the mixtape busted up, put his little figures out. Figure, oh, Austin, I'm gonna put this vest on him.

I do have Dude Love out of the. Out of. Out of the box right now, standing up.

Don't you have them all out of the box?

Nah, I keep them in the box for the most part.

Yeah.

The only few. I have a few that are just out. Stunning Steve with the TV title. Eric Bischoff with his karate gear.

Stunning De. Bro.

Dude Love Chainsaw Trolley.

Do you have the ringmaster one out?

No, I don't have the ring master out. I have it in the box on display.

I knew you had it. I knew you had it. I just wasn't sure if you had it in the box or not.

Yeah, it's in the box. I have two different versions of it.

There's two. Oh, there's one with the green tights and one with non green tights.

No, there's just a newer version of it.

Oh, okay.

There's one from like 10 years ago, and a new one just came out last year.

Gotcha. All right. That's a tough bump to take right on.

Yeah. Good Lord.

Right on the concrete.

Lordy Lord. Got to be bleeding. He bleeds in this match, right?

Look, there's a guy that has, like, a fan has the championship belt.

Yeah,

I think you're about to see him. You see right there, he puts it back on nicely. He's like, there's the belt. That's a story he's going to tell for life. No, I. I held the championship.

I hold that, bro.

That was a strange freeze there.

Just to think a couple of weeks after this is the hell in a cell when falling off the. You know, he gets thrown off the occasion. Good God, the man has a family. Stop the damn. Briscoe's like I got the hell hammer.

The next Jim Thor baseball slide. Scratch is non stop. Oh. Oh, that sucks.

Yeah.

Austin's like, I'm not doing that.

He's like, I had a broken neck, man. I'm not doing that.

Reminder.

This is a reminder in this match. False count

reminder.

We're just making the drills that damn

rules up as they go.

Wolf, how Mad Jay has the best advocate. Advocate for me, buddy.

It's funny I've said that as a teacher in class, like when I just make something new up, I'm like, also a reminder.

I think I wing everything.

It's a reminder. What do you mean reminder? Didn't tell us that before.

Mr. Pr. This is the first time you've told us that.

Gaslighting them.

No, it's not.

Oh, I love this.

That's a good break the glass, cuz. It's fairly safe too. Yeah, he's not going up too high. He's just almost like just flipping onto the car and then when he slides off, it's. It's not a far fall to. To go, so.

Looks like a 86 Honda.

Yeah, something like that.

Honda Accord or Civic? Probably Accord. Early Accord.

Yeah.

Had a 89 accord.

Remember that frog lights?

Yeah, the frog lights blue.

Nice.

The Puerto Rico flag in Wisconsin.

Oh, stun gun.

Yeah.

Gremlin or whatever the hell it is.

That Gremlin or whatever the hell it is.

Yeah.

Darl's like, I don't give a. It's. It's a shitty car.

Brisco with the bell. He's just holding it up. That ain't no pin. Guy's standing up.

Brisco puts that they have the. What do you call it? The number for the Brisco Brothers Auto Free Advertising.

Yeah. Street light. Oh, go sliding off the car.

Yeah, he probably didn't expect that.

Got stunned himself.

This match is amazing.

So good. Oh, this is crazy. Oh, that hurt, man.

My. My hips hurt just watching that.

That's the sound of it too.

The splat. Yeah.

85 Green Bay packers jersey wide receiver.

85 for the Pack.

Yep.

Yeah. And well, 9798 is probably the. Whoever was 85 then that would have

been a Brett Fav

smuggler.

I don't know. Can never trust this AI generated. No, but I guess it's right. Corey Bradford.

Don't remember.

I don't remember that guy.

Who.

I don't. I was. I don't know who I was going to guess.

Yeah, I'm think I was thinking like Reggie White, but Reggie White wasn't didn't have a high number like that.

Antonio Freeman was 86.

That's right.

Like Foley. His pants.

Dude. Love.

What a brutal Undertaker is just creeping behind O. Getting tired here.

Under.

Just doesn't know where to stand.

Just all over the place. Oh. Going up the top of a car. Elbow drop.

That wasn't as bad cuz he landed on his feet first.

Yeah.

On the concrete. Like backyard wrestling. Us.

Yes.

I'm going to jump off the car.

And rightfully so. A little intimidated by the phenom. The Undertaker. Austin. Austin said earlier today to me he was going to win his belt. Keep his belt. Rather he was going to beat Dud. Anybody else got in his way Right in the ring.

I realize that that's.

He's bleeding quite a bit actually.

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

Junior busting out. A Joey Chitwood reference.

Watch it. They're back in the ring. The rules have changed as we have gone.

The reals. The reals have changed.

Patterson trips him for no reason.

What a dick. Almost.

He almost fell over. Dude. Love to make the COVID

The main

streak for that human being misses. Foley's baby boy has got a mean insane.

It's like WrestleMania 13.

Yeah.

What a great line. This blood through you.

The laugh made it even better though.

Yeah.

Right.

That. I think that head got caught on a bumper somewhere.

Probably. Funny how this started as a technical

match and now it's just a brawl.

Right. Dude loves turning into freaking mankind.

The end may be near for the stone cold Steve Austin reign as WWF Champion.

No. Next month. Kane.

Yeah. For one night.

That's right.

That's what you're seeing right here.

He loses it to Kane in a first blood match.

This is basically the beginning of like the whole.

Get ready.

Blood's dripping down his teeth. Other taker just aimlessly walking around. Now he's on that side.

NPC in a video game.

Yeah, exactly.

Like accidentally run into the post. Fix himself.

Walk through something.

He walks into the bar, runs into

the post and like just slowly like snaps and turns around.

You can see his legs through the ring.

Glitching. NPC in a video game is the video game as he running into the railing.

No disqualification. It was made.

Vince mcmahon is worn out. On the chair. Stole cold just gave him a forearm to the face when he kicked out.

Yeah.

That was probably a receipt from the chair shot or something, you know.

Yeah.

Down. Down. The number one contender. Austin is having trouble standing. He's hit.

Uhoh. Oh, he just hit himself. He freaking whacked himself in the head.

Yeah.

Oh.

Vince McMan. Yes.

It's a funny sound.

Stunner.

Dang.

A new referee coming in.

Yoda.

Nope.

Pulls him out.

Oh.

Does an awful working punch.

Undertakers. He's like, do I do something right? All right. Animal Claw and Austin chatting. Going on.

Take a closer.

Yes. There we go.

Yep. He's like barely holding on to Patterson. That's the best part.

Patterson through the table. Yeah. Dunmore. Oh, Jay. I was already standing up. Oh, they just lost the table. Spanish table now. Freaking breakaway tables. Oh, another stunner. Awesome. The crowd gets that over big time.

Yeah.

Hell of a match. What a way to kick off a mixtape. Yeah. Match doesn't get talked about as. As much as anything else, you know, like heart match.

Yeah.

I mean, just a month before they had a good match. Love and Austin. This one's way better.

Yeah.

Highway to hell's beginning.

I was just going to say, he's looking at him like, I'm coming for you soon.

That gash on Austin's head. See where the cut was? Oh, yeah, there it is.

He went pretty deep. It looks like another taker just walks off like. All right, my got my paycheck. Let's go.

Yep. Son of a. Walks on.

He just walks on. McMahon. I love it.

Are you all right? And all the odds are against him in this. Stacked on him. Brisco. Patterson, man, You can't do Vince. You're supposed to play there. You see that iconic 90s car up in the ring?

Yeah.

He throws the belt back in. He's like that. I gotta. I gotta do more.

Oh, I'm ready.

Stand by.

Look at him.

That's when he had a healthy neck.

Pink TI96.

What the hell? Is that all?

That's right.

This ain't no ballet class, son. And if you've got dancing on your mind when that bell rings, you're going to get your ass kicked that much sooner. Sunglasses and sparklers, all the fireworks. It's a bunch of horse and you know it. You call yourself a hitman? I think you're pathetic.

I couldn't place when this happened. I don't know if it was a match between them or what. I couldn't figure this one out.

Yeah, when this Raw, right?

Yeah, it's like after Raw, I think.

Yeah. Try. I'm looking at his T shirt and I'm trying to figure out, when did he have that T shirt.

There's no commentary on this, so I can't. I don't know if this was like two man pop power trip time or right before it.

Yeah.

I don't even remember that shirt.

No, exactly.

We try to cover every single shirt as they came up.

Yeah. But yeah, triple H and jeans too.

Like why freaking ring is swaying cage rather.

Yeah.

I thought he was gonna do a kip up. So we got the middle finger foam fingers out. His shirt looks like a. Like an unlicensed stone cold shirt. Like from Walmart.

Yeah. One of the ones that the guys sell on the side of the side of the road as you're going through the show.

It's one of Earl Hems's shirts

selling it out the back of the trunk.

Sold it to Austin.

Yeah.

He's got both knee braces though, so that's. Yeah, true that.

That's got to be probably 2000.

2001. Yeah.

And I'm like right before Wrestlemania. Because they came up once he turned teal.

Yeah, yeah. After. After X7.

Yeah. This has to do before he was healed. So. Let me get these shits off.

It almost. It almost feels like they just got to enter the music playing over it because there's no audio otherwise. Like. No, you don't hear the crowd, nothing.

That's true. Or you can hear them faintly.

Yeah, yeah.

Actually then if you think about it like 2001. 2000, 2001. He was using licensed quote unquote music. So maybe they just didn't want to pay the royalties for this two minute clip. You know,

This is the typical bear bass. Gonna stun them, send the crowd home. Happy.

Doesn't even use the door. Just goes underneath.

Is the jack. Security guy. I remember that shirt. Austin Venom.

Yeah.

Austin316. Venom

must have been one of those ones that was like they. They had it designed. And then they were like, nah, nobody's gonna want to buy this bucks. Yeah.

Scrap it.

Yeah.

So like four of them exist in the world and he has three of them. The other one's in the warehouse. It's a very generic shirt, like you said. It's very much an, you know, unlicensed one.

All right. Oh, oh.

The world wrestling federation champion.

This is heel austin. He's like, no.

Over.

I love it.

It's a picture of the queen in the background.

I think Regal was a commissioner.

Not right. Everybody knows it's not right for Stone Cold be treated like it's right. What do you think the solution is?

Who do you think?

You're a very wise man. I appreciate the help, my friend. I appreciate the help.

I love this period of Austin. People talk about it so funny.

I know we turned the corner on it.

Yeah.

Someday when it's cool, we can say we did it first.

Oh, going back to WCW, I was

gonna say now we jump back like 10 years.

Holy cow.

What the hell? Hollywood Blondes taking on Brad Armstrong and Robbie v. Rob Van Dam.

So now let's see how long they

can hold on to this.

Larry's on commentary.

I tell you, he has two guys

I need to use the restroom against

two guys, Eric, that have developed such a compliment.

Is it Larry Zavisco and Eric Bischoff on commentary?

Aggression of Ste.

I was going to tell jv, you know, I'll probably mention it again anyway, but this match was not something that JV and I covered on the Hollywood Blonde episodes. Because it didn't air on Saturday night. They had a whole. They had a whole taping. Yeah, it was scrapped. Let me just read the note from the history of WWF WWE. The following matches were taped to air on the March 20 show. But the entire show was scrapped in. A new show was taped on March 19 to air the following day. Is believed the reason behind it was that only 75 of 750 fans were still in attendance by the time these matches took place.

Jesus.

75 people in the can and they never used it.

Yeah, yeah.

They're being very cautious on how to. To film the. You know what angle they use.

Yeah, that's all the people right there.

Yeah. Nice arm drag.

So it's interesting that they put this on here, cuz nobody's seen it. And also it's Rob Van Dam the match

here. You know what that means? RVD coming back to wwe. No, I'm just kidding.

There's a few Rob RVD segments on this tape.

Yeah. RVD wrestling barefoot. Yeah, that's a. That's a throwback.

His Jean Claude days.

He still has a big ass though.

Yeah, another one. But his is all muscle, right?

Yeah, exactly to the midsection. Yeah, his is. His is protein bar is not. Not dam. Yeah.

So jv, I was mentioning to Rick that this is a match that we didn't cover when we did the Hollywood Blondes. Because this whole episode of Saturday night was. It was scrapped and they filmed a whole new show because there was only like 70 something fans in attendance. They didn't want to use most of the matches on the show. Now this crowd doesn't look too bad, but I guess other matches later, it dries up. Yeah. So they just got rid of all of it. So this has never been seen until now, basically. And this is early Hollywood ones too. Because this is March of 93. So they've only been teaming since like late October. Little, you know, here and there. I think they really just finally became like fully Hollywood blondes just a couple months before this.

Yeah. With the matching tights and everything. Yeah. I mean, they were. They were champions at this point, right?

I think so, yeah. The hell out of. I love it. I love it. I love it a lot. Rvd that's one of my favorite shows. What's he talking about?

No idea. Saturday night maybe. I don't know.

Sad.

A sad note that the three guys in the ring right now are no longer with us.

3. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Pillman, Brad Armstrong, and Randy Anderson. Anderson. Oh, that was nice.

Sometimes I wish they would do that. Be like, oh, match is over. His met sucked. It's over. We're not coming back to it.

You get five minutes of the match. All right. This isn't good. Let's. Next.

He is in the wrong part of town.

Yeah, Well, I tell you, Armstrong made

the tag, but Robbie V walked into.

Just a brilliant strategy game plan by the champions, Pillman and Austin.

Robbie V going to the midsection. This guy is just. He is so aggressive. Awesome. Steve Austin. He's a machine, Eric.

He's a machine.

He's a machine, Eric.

Really?

Machine.

He's a Bisco.

That's a modest thing for you to say, Larry.

Thank you.

Robbie V in trouble here.

I tell you what, a lot of guys like Robbie V. And all these

kids, they come in looking good, but

after a few years, years, they all get that Freddy Krueger look.

What does that mean?

What the.

Like, what does that mean?

They get that Freddy Krueger look.

What the hell they got.

Talk about what they get. They get all burnt and kidnap children. What?

The whole conversation stopped after he said that.

You can. You can honestly just like, picture in your mind. Bischoff just staring at him going, what the is your problem?

Yeah. What's so wrong with you?

Armstrong's been out of there for a long time. He is definitely the freshman.

Why do I still pay you? And then a year later, he's the TV title champion.

Yeah. Out of nowhere team they're employing here.

Almost. Almost. A rocker plex.

Yeah.

Robbie V looks like he's unconscious. One, two. PIL could have had him. They're playing with them. Get him out of here. Get Pil.

This is a bizarre match, though.

Bizarre is the word.

Yeah. Maybe they scrapped it because Larry Zisco's commentary sucks.

Trash.

People are going to shut this off as soon as he starts Talking with him.

Chop to the top of the chest. And now Robbie V. Double Robbie V.

Thank God they changed his name.

Cross body block. One, two, three, four.

It's a two.

I could have had a five count. Only got two out of it.

What a cloth line.

Robbie stars.

Not on the.

Not the ones on the tight to Pillman cover on two.

It's weird that Pillman's got like the, you know, he's got the. The sex pack and everything, but he's also got like a gut, you know, at the same time. Like, he's like. He's got that round belly, you know, Muscle belly. Yeah, yeah. Or steroids.

Yeah.

What's up?

About a 2 1/2 or 3 spins in min.

Austin doing his karate.

Yeah.

Making fun of Robbie V. Same as he would do with Ricky Steamboat.

Dragon Slayer.

Speaking of that, next time we have a. Another Bottom Line episode we'll be covering. September of 1994.

Yourself.

Smile off your face. How can you do color commentary while you're.

I don't know when we'll do part two of this mixtape. We'll probably end up doing it in a whole year from now.

Part 2 of 316, 2027.

If people seem interested, then we'll do it sooner than later.

Survival. Survivor.

Get in there. Austin him up.

Yep.

Step on his feet.

Cutting the ring off.

You think you're wild. Samoan

shoes on.

Feet must he. His athlete feet must terrible tough. Acton 10 Acton.

Yeah. Boom. John Madden used to chill for that.

Yeah.

Boom.

Be like drawing on the telestrator. And this is where he put the cream.

Armstrong.

Yeah, I'm sure it's awesome.

He really is.

I never called him that.

What, Badass?

Yeah.

Well, the thing I was gonna say. Yeah, the. The thing. Yeah, exactly. Brad Armstrong and like, you know, Mid south, they're not gonna say badass. And then at this point, again, WCW2 corporate not gonna say badass. By the time that they probably could have, it was like, well, now we've got to compete because we're losing the Monday Night Wars. So let's make him buzz kill instead. Oh, yeah, and have him rip off his brother.

One, two, three.

That was a weird finish too. Like a double splash off the top rope from the blondes.

Yeah, that is weird. I got behind the scenes segment from looks like 98.

Damn it. That.

Scared that girl.

The woman

Stunner.

Okay, I'm ready.

Sorry about that. I'm ready now.

I'm ready now.

Is that what he said?

Yeah.

I want that shirt.

So what's going to be on the radio tonight.

Tonight we're going to listen to a lot of things. A lot of times when you ride down the road, you'll get a disco Saturday night or Sunday night, whatever night it is. A lot of times you get that on the weekend with rail, it runs a good old songs like that we'll probably be spending about. Depends on what kind of mood I'm in because it depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. Country music could be on the Damn thing probably 85% of the time.

Now we.

We head into a good hard rock market. Well, then we'll be rocking to anything from TED music to Boston or, you know, whatever they got on there. Everybody like hearing the new Rage Gets Machine song. We might do something like that. But it'll probably be mostly country because that's easy things to find.

So I guess we're not gonna be hearing any Notorious B.I.G.

or. Oh, I dig. I dig rap stuff the most. They're playing that oldest song at. They played some two pack the other night.

Two pack?

Pack.

I like six packs better.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

He's so romantic at heart.

He won't tell anybody, but yeah, yeah.

Speak of the devil.

All right, here's the song.

Is this disturbed?

Yeah, yeah, I think that's what it was.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, there goes my. My previous theory.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

They didn't want to. Right. They don't want to pay for the license.

All right, what was this? I write this down. This was January 15, 2001. So a couple months before Mania Rumble

as

Royal Rumble's coming up. Kurt angle legend christian.

Yeah.

What a trio.

Awesome.

Ah, this brings back such a good memory. That was a trio.

Oh, yeah. Christian trying to lose weight so he puts on the chicken suit.

Anyway,

the apa, the accolades.

That's why the rattlesnake was smiling. He knew all along.

All right, what's the over under? How long is it going to take for Earl Hen to try to get his in proof?

Oh, God.

Right.

Right away. I mean

this.

See, he's already in the way. I hate earl habner.

Hate that man.

Yeah, I think there's a diet that burns in hell. Christian.

I don't know.

Remember?

Yeah. I think people learn hell.

Oh, Samuel Jackson from movie Courage Under Fire.

I don't know.

No, I'll think of it. I think it's like his daughter gets raped or something.

Murder

might be in that movie.

Save it for the next time to Jerry's on stage on the screen. Oh, he almost didn't get him up.

Jv. What do you think the L in Samuel Jackson stands for?

Is it a weird or.

No, it's not.

Well, no, it's common. It's like a real name.

Exactly.

But it's something you be like. Oh, that makes sense.

Let me go with the first try, Leonard.

Well, Leroy.

Leroy, that was going to be one of my guesses.

That's why I don't give you another guess.

Because I was gonna say Lawrence.

I think I would have went Larry then. Leroy.

That movie was called the time to kill. Sandra Bullock.

Sandra Bullock.

Kevin Spacey was like Kevin Spacey. Keith Sutherland, wow. They were like the racist.

This is where Angle has a chance to prove his point. He said he could have beaten Stone Cold and I believe he. He had Stone Cold beat.

Yes.

I hope they died. Yeah, I think they deserve to die. They deserve to burn half. Shut up.

Angle sucks. Angle slam. That's not angle

thing. Now.

I have never seen Stone Cold do that.

Flipped out of it.

Yeah. Especially in 2001. Now he's hitting a spine buster like A.R.

anderson.

Yeah. Not anywhere near as good as Arne Henderson.

No, AR Anderson will be doing one in a couple months.

Yeah, right.

It's WrestleMania 17. He does that.

No, WrestleMania 18.

Oh yeah, 18 at this.

this point. Okay, here's the weird thing. What did you say this was for? January of 2001?

Yeah.

At this point WCW and ECW still existed.

True. Not for long.

No. ECW has one pay per view, I believe. Yeah, I believe it's in January, I think. I think they do. Guilty as charged. That's the last one. And. And then WCW has two more. Three more just January, February and March. And then they go under like. Like a week after the pay per view. They go under greed.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah. It's like the pay per view happens. They have a nitro and then the next week is the last nitro ever.

That's his triple H with Jean. So this might have been around the same time.

Yeah.

As that cage counter. It's so funny. Like they're big. He like rivals at this point. And then they just become friends.

Yeah, like. Like four months later they're friends and tag team champions together. Right.

I mean that's what they were building though too anyway. Because the two man power trip was gonna split and then there would have been a few engine.

Yeah, yeah. I think, I think the. I mean I don't quote me on this, but I think the original plan was they were going to split and that was going to to be WrestleMania 18. That was going to be the main event.

Oh really?

I believe so. Don't again, don't quote me on that. But I think that's what they were going to build to is Austin vers Triple H at WrestleMania x8. But then like you say, Triple H got injured. So

what was it other than the Hogan Rock thing? What was the other match?

Triple H and Jericho. Cuz Triple H came back at the Rumble and started the feud with Jericho.

Yep.

Well, and Stephanie.

There's austin and skull hall.

Yes.

This also is already baby facing again by then. Sure.

Yeah. Yeah. That didn't last.

I feel like. Yeah, I feel like the Hill run was longer than that, but yeah, less than a year.

Say it pretty much lasted from Mania till Survivor Series.

Yeah.

Maybe Royal Rumble, but yeah, didn't. Didn't make a year. Yeah.

Survivor Series was like Team wcw. Team wwf. Austin was on Team wcw.

Yep.

My God. There's no telling where the APA or tag.

Yeah. Where the hell are they?

That was the invasion. No.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yeah. That's it. 1, 2, 3 Y. I thought the

ref shoot came off. It was someone festival graceful.

Earl wasn't too bad in this stand out.

Very, very civil.

Proof my old age.

Now we fast forward like a decade.

Yeah. This is like 2011, right?

Yep.

Around that.

Yeah.

What's the the 40 year old Mrs. Shirt mean? It stood for something I thought.

Yeah. I don't remember our truth. We got awesome truth 40 here. Seamus.

Yeah. This is June 13, 2011. Or at least that's what I think it is based on what I looked up.

This is after Mania.

Holy crap. Punk with the Nexus. Yeah.

Nexus Punk.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah. Miz and R. Truth were a team. Oh my God. The writer chance Seamus was new, I think.

Yeah, something like that. Oh.

Actually maybe he had been there for a year already.

Yeah. But I mean he wasn't. He wasn't a big. As big a deal as he is later. You know.

This is 2011. So this is when Austin was making his return just for like promoting the video game. The video. Yeah, the video game.

And they were teasing him in Punk though, which apparently.

Right.

And that almost actually happened.

Yeah, I think it almost.

Yeah, I think. I think so. And I think Punk was all on board. He's like, absolutely. I will. I will. I will wrestle him and I will gladly lose.

This is when like Punk's like, just give me something interesting.

Right?

Really? Yeah. Asking for a beer. Straight Edge, Punk.

I want to drink the beer.

Give me a Pepsi. Is he gonna Drink it.

I'm just gonna pose with it. Oh, he. Is he.

Wow.

Is he really drinking that?

Yeah. Doing it for Austin, I guess.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Unless. Unless it was a non alcoholic beer, maybe.

What.

What the hell is Miz doing?

I mean, it's Skull Crossing finale, but still.

Austin coming to make the save for John Cena.

Y.

This is something that we didn't cover either when we were covering this, you know, brief period of time, of appearances. I don't think it existed. I think this is after all.

Yeah. Jv.

Yeah.

What's Austin wearing for sneakers?

I can't see.

My.

My video quality is very bad.

Oh, yeah, mine too.

They're white and black, like. Yeah. I was gonna say they look like Asics.

Having a hard time getting around the ring though. Yeah. Hey, but he's wrestling. He's gonna do a suplex.

Yep. Miz gets to be the sacrificial lamb.

Was this the year? That was Miz versus Cena at Mania.

That's what I thought might have been. Yeah.

Austin's gonna stomp in a mud hole walking it dry. Shirt on, girl. Big titties in the first row.

Damn. Oh, yeah.

Wow.

I don't know if that was an official or impromptu match. Dark match after the show.

How do you say that?

What?

Feels like darkness match.

Yeah.

He's just one hand and grabbing those beers. That's crazy.

And there was no commentary, so.

Yeah.

John Cen's gonna drink some bruise. Stone cold.

I gotta wonder how much that canvas costs to replace because there's no way they would use the same canvas.

No.

Week after week with people bleeding on it and. And beer all over it.

Yeah.

The locker room gets stacked.

They do change the mats out during the show. Like halfway through the show, they switch them off.

Oh, do they?

Yeah. At least the few times I remember everyone has eggs. They'll go in like right after this and switch it out.

Gotcha.

Okay. Not in this case because this is the end, but.

Right.

No, I knew usually in the middle of the show, they.

After hour one or whatever.

Yeah. Austin was like teasing, like, I'm going to stun your ass.

I'm going to stun him. Yeah.

What's John doing? It's like flipping it around. I was like, I'm out of here. Screw this.

That one's just gonna foam up as soon as you open it.

They gotta want that. That's cool. Cena and Austin.

Yeah.

It's almost like a passing of the torch.

Yeah.

Yeah.

For the last two years, all you see in wrestling is the famous ECW arena. Debut night. I roll in. You've got the Sandman, you've got the Raven, you got the Pit Bulls, you got Stevie Richards, you got the Public Enemy, you got the Gangsters, you got Mighty Wickrep, whatever the hell his name is.

That's my favorite part of the promo. Whatever his dance is, whatever.

He got it right, though, didn't he?

No, he kind of stumbled over it.

Yeah, yeah.

Crap.

And that's exactly what I'll call it. Because that's what it is.

Probably means that Steve Austin, I bet he does, is here to wrestle.

It's what I do best. It's what I do better than anybody in the world.

Dean Malinka, that's grimy.

Eddie Guerrero, they got the big send off. Tears were in everybody's eyes. It was a big deal. All Steve Austin got was a good swift kick in the ass as Bischoff hung up the phone and left me high and dry. There's no Hogan's here. There's no flares here. There's not a dusty roads. There damn sure isn't an Eric Bischoff here. There's no one that can hold back Steve Austin.

Now

stunning, tossed it out the window. Never was meant to be. ECW is gonna find out firsthand

what

Steve Austin can do. And I'm gonna show everybody here exactly what a true superstar is supposed to do. What a true Superstar is supposed to be. Because no one here can hold me back. Not Todd Gordon, not Hulk Hogan, not Eric Bischoff, nobody. I'm gonna be the Superstar that I always knew that I could be. Because there's no one, no one necw

that can stop me.

Bang. That was awesome.

Sandman.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. That's a pro.

This guy's too good to be here.

Sandman's about eight beers in at that point.

I just had Austin shaving his head

in the process of growing my hair back from my WCW days. And then when WWE gave me a call, they wanted me to change my appearance. So I kind of just gave myself a buzz cut like Bruce Willis had in Pulp Fiction. And when I came and made my debut, I didn't have the goatee and I had the buzz cut. I guess my hair was about a quarter inch long. Then after doing that for a couple of months, I'd already done the stone Cold thing. And I remember I was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We were fixing to go to the building and I was rooming with Gold Dust. And I said, man, let me just go ahead and Shave all this off and see what happens. So I shaved all my hair off because I had a buzz cut which was about a quarter inch long. And then I'd already started growing the goatee at that time. And I got to the building and everybody said, why the hell did you shave your damn all your hair off?

We haven't seen this, have we?

No.

I could see kind of where I needed to go. The look I had wasn't complete, and I could see it wasn't a winter. So I decided to go ahead and give the, you know, shave my head a try. And of course, it ended up working for me, you know, because years ago when I started losing my hair, I actually went to one of those hair club for men's. You know, the lady came through and had my appointment. She's combing through my blonde hair with these two little wooden tongue depressors, telling me my options. Well, after I heard my options, I knew that going to the hair club for men wasn't an option for me. So anyway, I ended up shaving my head. I ended up having a cool bone structure as far as a skull goes. So I got lucky with that.

That's key, is you have to have a good head to shave that. All right, so we're gonna take a quick little break here and then continue on from here. So we'll be right back.

Looking around the house Hidden behind the window and the door Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home. Well, maybe I'm just too sure or maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound of pieces of note fall down but the letter said. Good it's good. Good, good, good good good Sitting around the house Watching the sun shadows Searching for signs of life but there's nobody

home

well, maybe I'll call on I'll write you a letter now maybe we'll see on the 4th of July but I'm not too sure and I'm not too proud well, I'm not too sure and I'm not not too proud and say it's good with you. You.

All right, we're back now for the second half of this mixtape. Well, second half of the half of the mixtape, however, the to phrase that, yeah, we're gonna watch about another hour of it. So we're gonna go to about the 2 hour, 12 minute mark. So the nice little chunk of stuff to go through. Let's get right back to it. You guys all set with your time stamp? Ready to go. One hour, five minutes, 58 seconds.

Yes, sir.

Alrighty. I'll give the countdown. Here we go. Three, two, one, play. All right, so we're going back now to Monday Night Raw. 96 days. Looks like 96. Let me double check.

December 96 is what it says in the notes.

Yep, December 96. This is one of those tough man matches. Heel versus heel match, basically is what it is.

Basically with Jim Cornett, Beta.

With Jim Cornett you can own. Someone called Bret Hart is at ringside on commentary. So this is, you know, just weeks after the Survivor Series.

Yep.

One of the good things about this is that we're not going to have to listen to him bitch about Bill Goldberg.

Gonna hear him though.

Yeah, yeah.

It's Pre Goldberg, right?

It hasn't happened. Well, Goldberg was still in the Falcons at this point.

Goldberg era, I think.

Peak.

Brett Hart.

There he comes.

What a good feud though.

Yeah, it's awesome.

Great.

Good. I'm like totally made. Stone Cold.

Yep.

Before that was just Savio Vega.

Yeah, the Vega saga.

Yeah, the Vegas saga. Episode two in the archives.

Greatest name. I mean, for best podcast name.

I gotta lower my volume, I think.

Pre AI.

You can never forgive your friends.

Pre AI

Sha Michaels. Right. Wait just a moment.

Oh, what?

Stone Cold.

Hey, I'm going to mind my own business. And Stone Cold very upset.

Stone Cold, your stones are so cold.

I don't blame him. All right, here we go, ladies and gentlemen. Two consummate are two great athletes. We've got this man, Mastodon. Vader.

And Mastodon they call Vader.

Hey, but Invader would come out with that Mastodon helmet.

Oh yeah. Peak, they should have had him wear it. Wwf.

Well, they were trying to get Rid away from Corny.

Yeah.

Even though that wasn't.

There is some Corny still going on, but. Yeah, I know what you mean.

Alamo Dome, January 19th. Yes, indeed. And that of course will be a night.

Ladies Rumble 97. Alamo Dome gave away a million tickets.

Yeah.

Had a hard time selling it.

Yeah, cuz they. They thought that putting some Mexican luchadors in there would attract tickets. And it was like, no, no, cuz you put the wrong ones in there. You put like Pier off Pirata Morgan, like you, you're not putting a big name in. I mean not that they're not big names, but you're not putting big names that are going to attract people. I believe that was also the Royal Rumble that they had a. A Minis match. And Sunny, Sunny did the announcing. Y. Oh, she was the guest referee. One of the two.

Yeah, I think she was the referee and she had like little booty shots on.

Yeah, yeah. And that. That tied off ref shirt.

Yep. Yeah, that's good.

This is. We're going towards extreme content now, considering that she's also in ECW at this point, too.

Yeah.

Where we're at. What the was that?

Yeah. Holy. Vader's like, get me the out of here.

I know. He hits him with a headbutt. Jesus.

I sound like he said, still cold, Steve.

Yeah, I think so.

All right.

I thought the same thing. Still cold. He's still cold.

And the man they call Vader really having a go. And Bret, they hit Vanhart watching every second of it.

Love the Vader punches.

Shut up.

Remember, this is a tough man match, which means nothing.

For a second, I thought that was a dirt floor

sawdust joint.

Yeah, exactly.

How many times is Vince gonna say the man they call Vader during this match?

We know. We know he's Vader. You can just say that, right?

We know he's a man.

I. I didn't want to call him Vader, so I say the man they called Vader.

Yeah.

Semantics. I don't call him that. W. W. Call him that. I don't call him that.

Well, they wanted to call him the Mastodon.

Right. He wanted just. Just to be the Mastodon.

Yeah. Vader was like, you got Vader.

Call him Vader. I'll call him the man they call Vader. Yeah, that's the compromise.

Who is they?

Wcw. Yeah. He's one for not, you know, using pronouns.

Right.

Pronouns, pal. Oh, for a hot sneak attack on

Austin, I'll get you 15 yards in the NFL, but in the WWF, it's legal.

Yeah. El could not rings for a heart. Active heelish.

Yeah.

Austin didn't even do anything to him.

That's. And that's the thing too, is he. Like you said, Austin didn't even come over and mouth off to him. He just. He just took it upon himself to attack him.

Man's commentary is great. BR is with everybody. I thought you. I'll fight you.

Little man syndrome.

Now he's going back after Stone Cold was hobbling other sharpshooter. That Patterson walked over there. Pretty dainty.

Yeah.

Renee Goulet, this freaking weird ass hair.

Tony Guerrea.

Get his hair.

Austin.

Where the hell is Brett? Pull him off.

Yeah, maybe they pulled him off. Jerry Brisco.

I think I just saw Pritchard. I think it was in the crowd.

Sportsmanship.

I remember this commercial.

Yeah.

Don't push your morality to me. Don't do it to me. You want Mercy, take your ass to church.

Oh, jumping ahead, the Smackdown.

I was just gonna say now we're jumping to the fist stage era of smackdown. And I got the ruled the American flag because this is post 9 11. This was like a week after 9 11.

Was it? Is that the date?

It says 9 20.

Oh yeah.

So it was legit.

Like this must have been like the return show.

Yeah, this was that because they did the one, the live one on that actual the third 13.

Oh, that's right, they did. Yeah.

And then, and then this would have been the, the week.

The next one.

Yeah. Although you know what's weird, I don't remember the fifth stage being part of Smackdown at the end of 2001. I always thought it was 2002. I mean I, I again that we're go, we're going back what, 25 years?

Yeah.

So almost.

I don't think he was around at the end of 2002.

No, but like early 2002.

Oh.

I was thinking it was well, mania was what, 2003. But he was on a hiatus.

It was a 2002 was when he faced Scott hall at Wrestlemania. And then. Yeah. And then he walked out because they wanted him to put over Brock. Yeah.

He wasn't at 19 then. He came back at 20 as the referee.

Yeah.

Goldberg. And

19 was his last match.

Oh yeah, yeah, that's right.

Four.

Yeah, yeah. 19 was. Yeah. Him and the Rock. Yeah.

So taking on to Jerry here, who's the WCW US Champion, which means Dick at this point cares about that title.

Got DDP syndrome. Taped up ribs again.

Those injured ribs into that steel post by Austin, this pathetic, paranoid lunatic human being.

Yeah.

Cuz this was also when. When Jerry Lawler wasn't in the company.

Yeah. Michael Cole and Junior as a team.

That's weird. Tim White.

I like Tim White.

I do too. Rest in peace.

Friendly tap, right?

Yep, yep.

To strike with some sort of viciousness

like he did tonight. Let me tell you.

I didn't want to jinx Kurt Angle earlier, but for those of us that have followed his career, three months, almost three months to the day before the Olympic trials. Kurt Angle broke his neck. He broke his neck in the us

Broke his freaking neck.

I want a gold medal with a broken freaking neck, pal. That's why I got addicted to every painkiller under the sun.

Yeah.

The poor guy. Yeah, it is like I'm not, I'm not trying to make a joke of it.

That's it. That's a stunner.

That's what we do here. Though.

I know.

One, two, three.

That was a quick match. Which it should have been.

His music's playing in his shocked. What. What was up with that?

It's almost like he was expecting somebody else to come out.

Yeah, that was weird.

I've been out of action for over nine months. So in case anybody's forgotten, this is

after Owen Hart lost it. Yeah, it must be now.

Unlike most people, Stone Cold.

That or after survivor series. Survivor series 99.

True.

So what I'm going to do. What am I gonna do?

You it up.

What am I gonna do?

I like how they have these little bloopers in here and stuff.

Yeah, yeah.

Or like the. The ECW promo where. And at the end you get Sam and going.

That was awesome.

Holy.

Whoa.

All right, so this is a rare match or unseen match for the most part. Madison Square Garden House show, January 10, 1998. Stone Cold's going to team up with Cactus Jack. Cactus Jack? When did he return his Cactus Jack? 97.

Yeah, he was 97 at. Madison Square Garden against Triple H the first time. I don't remember when he. How long he stuck around, though, because obviously, like, he's Cactus Jack here and he's gonna be Cactus Jack at WrestleMania 14.

Sure. Yeah. So it looks like they edited this a bit.

Yeah. This is a clipped match.

Yeah.

Good. But going back to my. My point from before, you can tell this is Madison Square Garden. Like, you don't even need to say it. Just. It's Matt. You can tell just the way they lighting it.

Yep.

See? See? Ecw. This is what happens when you have a good quality production and then make the lighting not around the crowd. You know, it looks good.

Put it on the ring right where the action is.

Right. Don't. Don't rent a helicopter for a second segment. Yeah. I don't remember the Rock having that on his tights. Like, I remember the boots being with the open calves, but I don't remember that, like, tribal thing on his.

On his trunks, do I?

Yeah, I guess kind of has that too. The nation thing. I guess I remember.

I remember. Remember Dilo wearing that. That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't remember the Rock.

I don't remember that. Yeah, I've never seen those.

Yeah, they're definitely clipping this match.

Yep. I'll show. Match probably went on for like a half hour.

Yeah. What's also weird is they've got the. The red ropes, but they've got the. The old school, like, new generation ring skirt.

Yeah. Yeah. Must be a House show thing.

Yeah.

Gonna put it to you somehow we use it during house shows.

Exactly.

We got a table set up. What the hell is that?

Like a.

It's a table when it's like an ironing board.

I was just saying it is.

Oh, it's one of those shitty ass tables.

Yeah.

Pin one.

That thing's not breaking. What the hell happened there? Baby powder.

Yeah. Tommy Rich.

What the. Oh, that was the stairs.

Yeah.

Thunder. Oh, like thunder. Yeah, thunder and lightning. Like they're on a radio broadcast and making thunder. Okay. Rob roll brawl. Oh, fr. Look at that splash.

That was nice.

Winding up in. You're out getting ready for the rumble.

Yep.

A fan cam guy. Pay attention to the in ring.

Why did Delos Greg get cut short?

Oh, I think honestly, like they just didn't have anything for him, you know?

Yeah.

Like I don't think it's that he's an or anything. I think it's just they didn't have anything for him and he was in that. That weird time period where like WCW and ECW were gone. You had Ring of Honor and you had had tna. But he wasn't a big enough name to pull people to TNA or ro. But he also wasn't a big enough. Big enough name to keep in WWE.

Yeah. Just kind of fizzled out like 2000.

Yeah. That low down.

Yeah.

Him and Chaz Head Headbanger Mosh.

Pretty much what they do when they want to ease you out. Put you in a shitty tag team.

Yeah.

It's like. Yeah. You guys aren't getting over.

Right.

What do you mean? You're the ones that can get us over.

Yeah. Your job. I mean a story

that was cool when 99dlo was in the story with Mark Henry China. The Love Angle.

And. And he was feuding with like Jeff Jarrett.

Yeah.

Over the. Over the IC and European titles.

Comma Got his street clothes on.

Sounds like video game audience.

Yeah, it does. This ambient noise.

Yeah.

Like. Yeah, yeah.

Kind of sounded like the brood's entrance

there for a second. Yeah, yeah, yeah. True. I don't know what the hell I was just thinking that was a different thing. No clue the hell song is that? Oh, Big Boss Man.

Big Boss. Yeah.

No Boss Man.

Gold dust.

Later Gold. That's.

What the.

Are you doing down there?

Just.

He just comes running in and gets. Eats a stunner and then runs away.

NPC dust.

Yeah.

All right. Well that was something to see, I guess.

Yeah. I didn't.

I didn't hate it.

No.

The man who Are the world.

It's better that they clipped it.

Definitely.

Now you guys definitely covered this segment.

Yeah, we did cover. This is still fun.

Oh, yeah.

Celebration of nostalgia.

Seven or eight or nighttime world champion.

Little poster board.

Held up with two pieces of mask and tape.

And tonight's special guest, one half of the World Tag Team Champions Hollywood.

I love how his. His robe matches the. The curtain. What's it the exact same color.

This is like the huckster Nacho man before wwe.

Yeah, yeah.

Thank you very much.

This is like when you let the students put on their own comedy act in school.

Yeah, that's the same production.

Yeah.

Theater.

It's like the outfits the Portuguese kids wear.

I'm talking about every redded male and that. That's right. Take a deep breath.

They have gray hair and the glasses on his nose. On the tip of his nose.

What's her name? Pate.

Yeah.

My special guest, one half of the world Tag Team Champions, Stunning Steve Austin. Let's bring them out.

It hurt my hand. I'm good hand.

The sleep. Sleeveless shirt with the. The chain and tucked into the jeans.

Yeah.

Such a 90s look.

I'm stunning, Steve. I'm stunning.

Anyway, Steve, maybe tell the great fans out there some of the great things that the blondes are doing with this tag team.

Well, I feel like with a partner like Fly and Brian, the Hollywood blinds can go.

Wake up.

Falling asleep.

Hey, wake up. Can go as far as they want to in tag team wrestling. Pardon me, Steve.

I believe it's time for.

For my medication.

Is that one of Stunning Steve's old robes from his early.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Let, let, let, let, let me do that here.

Or it's Terry Taylor's.

Yeah, thank you very much.

Just throws a handful of pills in his face.

Wondering about that medication. Well, it's all legally prescribed and you know, a little nitro for the Alzheimer's and I got some vitamin E in there too.

Fans don't give a about that. This n that check out like what the hell? Play time over here.

Garbage.

There's Mr. St. Right there. It's a shame that the nature boy has to suffer of old age like this, but I've got to say, looking at that body, the last time I saw a body like that, it had an apple stuffed in its mouth and it was roasted over an open flame.

You like the barbecue, huh? Well, let's see.

That was stiff, like we expected as much.

A.R. anderson. We are, we are almost out of time. A.R. anderson's in it with Steve Austin here Comes Ryan Bright with his cane. We're out of time.

Hey, side note, have you guys seen that wrestler Cocaine? He's like.

No, he's all white cane. Yeah.

Oh yeah, I actually did see that.

Yep.

Cocaine Y.

It's like the. The guy that's the pizza chef that throws the pizza dough and it knocks the guy out.

Yeah, I just saw in this.

Yeah, yeah, Love that. Oh, Jericho.

One of the greatest debuts of all time.

What is this from December 3, 2001. What is everything from Wisconsin on this tape? The over the Edge match was from Wisconsin. Then you had the Stone Cold and Apa match against Kurt Angle. Edge and Christian was in Milwaukee. Yep. And here we have it again. Milwaukee Stone Cold versus Chris Jericho.

I forgot about Jericho having the red at the end of his ponytail.

Non title match

as it should be.

So when was this? What did I just say?

It's.

Would you say December?

December 01. Okay.

Yeah. So this is right before Baby Face again. Yeah, it's also right before. What the heck did they change it to? Because they couldn't. They didn't want to use Armageddon three months after 9 11. So they changed it to something else.

Is it vengeance?

Yeah, I think. I think so. But that was when they did the unifying the the WCW and the WWF titles into the undisputed.

Yeah,

Guy in the Duke cut off shirt having way too much fun.

Yeah, it was vengeance.

Vengeance. Okay.

Vengeance was December 9th. So this was just days before. Six days before.

Yep. That's what Jericho's become.

Yeah, it's funny. Like that's what I hated about this time is you have this match on Raw and then they have a match against each other six days later on pay per view.

Right.

Then you weren't supposed to know it was going to happen because it was. It's like a tournament. Jericho versus the Rock. Angle versus Austin. Then Austin. Jericho. Jericho wins the title.

Three matches, two titles ending up in one night. The one undisputed champion of the world as Austin has asserted himself extremely physically against

Earl Off.

I was, I was waiting for him to try to like push. Push Austin off, you know. Yeah, he's trying to drag him off.

See y could be these two men in that final match match this Sunday.

Jericho comb for the stunner.

Oh, balls. Of Jericho.

Finishing with over.

I think that spot works better when they steal each other's finishers at a pay per view or when like there's an absolute feud going on. Yeah, just a random Raw match. Doesn't like it works, but it's not great, you know, it's not special. Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah, that was.

He's gonna get injured there.

Aggressive.

Earl say in the ring, girl.

Let's just say get back in the ring.

Oh, he just constantly wants to be in the middle of everything.

The Enzo Guri after the low blow. Now Austin is down and Y2J has an opportunity here to beat some respect. Perhaps out of Stone Cold.

Jericho with that little bit of red. Reminds me of like a middle aged woman going through crisis. And thighs. Her hair.

Yeah.

Trying to look young again.

Or they're like 60 year old. Dude that's got. That's had, you know, salt and pepper hair for like 10 years and all a sudden he comes in with jet black hair.

Look back, my jet black hair.

Hey, that's my jam.

And again, Jericho taking often right back to the steel.

Actually played that AI version for my class the other day.

Didn't you do that already?

No, I think Pat did it. He played it for his students. Yeah, I played it. They're like, look, this song,

My dumb friend.

I can play video games to this song. Lap fest. And we did cover this on an early episode of Bottom Line Wrestling. Cast. Yeah, this was on Raw. So we did see this. This is a random thing to just put on there, huh?

I know. It really is a random match.

It's not like it's unseen or anything. It's just

like if it was a dark matter match after Raw. Sure.

No Spanish announce table.

A whole empty Spanish on Jericho and

angle this Sunday and not a damn thing to lose. You know, Jericho's got a main streak,

but on Earl D punch, boom. I always love that when the wrestle does that punch and flip.

Yeah. At least Jericho made it look like he was trying to to do a move, you know?

Yeah. A lot of times they don't sell that they're actually doing anything other than about to get punched in the stomach.

Right? Yeah. Like when they dive and the guy puts his foot up.

Yeah.

It's like it never looks like you're going for anything. It looks like you're just jumping straight down.

Right. Kind of a shitty take though. Going for his walls. Oh, no. Going for a Boston Crab.

Yep.

That's a Boston crowd.

Right.

Even.

Yeah. It's not the walls. Cuz he doesn't have it locked in.

Right, Right. Much like Austin did earlier a show.

Don't like the red tie and a right boot.

Imagine

like a pirate.

Yeah.

Like a Johnny Depp or something. Pirates of the Caribbean. That wasn't out yet. At this point. Came out 03. I think you're right. There it is. That's holy. Just out of nowhere. Stone Cold, the winner. We got next. Oh, Next in segment. Coming up next.

Yay.

I love that. I like how this pops around, you know, being that it's a mixtape.

Yeah.

Because if it was in chronological order, it's just like, you know what's coming. Like. Like we already covered it in chronological order. I. I want random.

Yeah.

I like that. I was worried it was going to be just like, you know, any in

order that we've already seen.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's good for it to be hopping around because it's just feels fresh throughout.

I just.

I just look back to 93.

I just like to up.

Yeah.

Pirates Caribbean was 2003.

So do you mind if we ask why you're here?

Okay.

I'm just hanging out. The reason I came out of my dress room, I cut a big fart and it was really. Jesus Christ. I'm glad you came in and made the save. So it's actually good to see you. How are you doing?

I'm doing great tonight.

Let me ask you a few questions. A couple years. No, you. I like the way things are going.

I like it a lot.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Do tell.

I love it a lot. I'm a big rock fan.

Are you a big rock fan? You smell what he's cooking?

I smell. Yeah.

I want to make sure I got this right.

I couldn't place when this was again. It's just another beer bash. It's hard to.

Yeah, but he's doing the what thing.

Doing the what? Yeah, and he has the what shirt, so. Yeah. When was that? 2002.

He was doing it during the 2001. So was that. This is at the very least 2001. It's also got black ropes, though. I know it's Smackdown. But still smack down.

Yeah.

Against NWO.

All right, so NWO's there.

So this is early 2002, probably.

And I'm wondering. I'm sorry, did I hurt you? Did I damage you? Are you okay?

They had to get a what segment in here or did they?

And I like the Rock playing along.

And I guess a good way of getting out would be if you drink that Budweiser with Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Hold on, hold on.

It's been a long time since you. We've been in the same ring together. So. If you want to see Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Rock, drink a beer. Give me a hell, yeah.

Hell, yeah.

I think they said hell yeah. So are you gonna drink this beer with stone cold Steve Austin or not? And I don't want you just to drink it, just to sip it. No, no, no, no, no. This ain't no martini. I want you to guzzle that. Some.

Chug. Chug, chug.

Maybe this is in Milwaukee too. They know how to. They know they're beer drinking.

Did you have something to say?

So cautious.

Y' all know they might get stunned.

Yep.

Before we drink, there's something that the Rock forgot to say.

Finally.

All right. San Antone forgot where he was. Yep.

Santone,

Tony, see if I can find a date for this. Now.

Well, after I just said that, that

really hurt the rock's ribs.

2002, right?

I think so, yes. The people's ribs.

The peoples

people's ribs.

So funny.

But we love it. That's the thing.

Yeah. This is March 7th, 2002, San Antonio, Texas. The main event was Rock defeating Scott Hall. This is right after that.

Apparently it was March of 2002.

Yeah.

Nice.

Right before Mania, so.

Right.

Yeah.

He's warming up. Gotta stretch. You can tell these guys are having so much fun together.

Yeah.

Hey, we lost an hour, right?

Yeah. Skip ahead.

Be like it's already 12:30.

Should only be 11:30 right now. Damn it. Yeah.

Yep.

I probably know you better than anybody else.

That's classic scene here. Segment with the announcement. Superstars, October 26, 1996 is going to

come out of this semi retirement and answer your challenge at Survivor Series. It's finally going to be your chance to prove yourself.

Shut up. I ain't never had to prove myself to nobody.

Now, Steve, I know how frustrated you are.

Pillman, fresh off of coming from ecw.

Y understand.

Even got the same T shirt on. Still Marilyn Monroe.

He's just missing those glasses.

Yeah.

A lifelong dream at Survivor Series. In the city that never sleeps.

Those great H sneakers.

Yeah, no kidding.

They look like it. No, they not.

And you can listen to me, you little crippled freak.

Raspy voice that at one time I

carried you to a world championship.

Yeah. Referencing wcw.

Wow.

Madison Square Garden, Bret Hart. You're gonna find out. Bret Hart's gonna find out the whole damn.

So funny how both of their characters adjusted for the late 90s.

I know perfectly.

They look like they could still be a tag team, but just like different style tag teams.

Imagine, imagine if, assuming Pillman still gets hurt and everything, but like he doesn't die, imagine where he would have been in the, you know, 90s, 8.99.

Yeah. And the path he was on Looked pretty good. Yeah, that gold dust. Shoot, Molina.

Austin just broke that cane right across Pil's ankle, and now he's Austin stomping away.

Molina started to come out with that off makeup. Look. Leather. Let's look back here.

You know, I love this style. I love this style.

Perfect on commentary on Superstars. Hey, look at that little gold dust. I like that Gold dust from the WWF soundtrack, the album. Little kid dce Gold dust now.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, filming eyes.

I remember watching this on whether it was Saturday or Sunday morning, I can remember watching this.

Yep, me too. This is one of the last things actually happen on Superstars.

Yeah. The, like, last big angle.

Yeah, yeah. How do you fake that? Like, such a neat trick.

I think it's just, like, a case of where do you land? Because if. If he stomps on the. The leg close to where the seat is, but doesn't actually make contact with the seat, the seat doesn't move, so it doesn't do anything to his ankle, you know, but it just looks impressive.

Bob Holly and Pug.

Yeah. Alex Porto. Yeah.

That's who they had to send in to make the same.

Right now. Was the. Was the goon not available that night? Freddy Joe Floyd.

Oh, we got an Austin316 sign. That's kind of early.

Yeah.

October.

October 96.

WWF would say that it was June 27th.

Right. It was the day after. Yeah, the next day we had that. We had the king of the ring. And the next night, there was just so many signs. Austin316 at RAW. It's like. No, no, there wasn't.

No, we don't see the sign for a long time. That might have been the first one.

Yeah, no kidding.

Well, I'm no doctor.

Oh, these are rebox laces in the back. Strange.

That is weird.

We got to get an ambulance here.

Laces out.

Laces out.

The hell is this? That Aries Spears.

Yeah. And that's Will Sasso as Lou Anderson.

Okay.

Come on, guys.

Oh, it's Family Feud. Yeah, it's like, not the actual episode, though. It's like, behind the scenes.

Yeah, it's like a rehearsal or something.

Yeah.

Punch him square in the forehead.

Oh, it's supposed to be Mike Tyson.

Oh, there's the bell.

We'll start the triangle match with Superstar Ste now.

We're going to ECW again. December to Dismember.

Yep.

The elimination match where same man comes out, like, halfway through and stands around

him and New Jack. Halfway through the. The match, they show up, although with New Jack he just runs out like the Sandman, takes his sweet time, drinks a couple beers, has a butt or two.

Is this the time that Sandman and woman were at, like, a strip club right before. And then they came in.

Sandman and Missy.

Oh, that was Sandman and Missy.

Okay.

This isn't it.

Yeah, that's not it. No, but it. There is one where, like, Sam, man, they come in through the crowd. Like, they come in from the front door. And that was exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they were in Queens, but. Yeah, they come in like the front door.

That's right.

Yeah.

Because it said Goldfingers, I think it was.

Yeah.

The street.

Yeah, that's right.

Yep. Austin Powers, Mikey.

Oh, he slapped the. Out of him, Mikey with that nice T shirt.

Yeah. Badass T shirt.

Yep.

Dragon shirt. Dungeons and Dragons.

With his oversized knee pads.

Yeah. Austin basically in his Ringmaster gear. Now, this was his last match in ecw, right before.

Yeah, the. The second of two matches in ecw.

Yeah.

Yeah. Right.

Maybe three.

But maybe it was three. Yeah, there was one in that bar.

You can. You can count them on. On one hand, put it that way.

The promos were the big thing.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, he was on TV basically the whole month, November through December.

Mikey backs out of the corner. Caution.

Yeah. He had a match in November to remember. And then. Yeah, yeah. Maybe one other.

Well, there's one that he interferes in. That's the one where, like, he beat Sandman. That's probably what we're thinking of.

That's what I'm thinking of.

Yeah, where he. He grabs. He grabs the butt, takes a couple rips off of it. And you can tell he doesn't smoke.

And he has the beer bottle.

Right.

Takes his. Takes a drink of the beer because, you know, that's his thing. And then he scoops up woman and he's like patting her on the ass. Yep.

Mikey with a foot across the bottom rope. Referee Jim catches it. Another handshake from Steve Austin.

How the Are we at three hours recording? We haven't recorded for three hours.

No, it's been like two.

It says on the.

Yeah, just say that. I wonder if it's up by the. It must be daylight savings.

Oh, maybe. Imagine that it jumped up an hour.

There's like an extra hour of just nothing.

Yeah, there's a blank hour in there.

Yep.

I hope not. I mean, obviously you just get cut out.

Easy to edit it out, but.

Yeah, that's weird. It's like it's been three hours. Not even at two hours watching this thing.

Yeah, we're like an hour 54 in

shoulder block,

guys clapping for a shoulder block.

Some work rate.

Getting on the case of Steve Austin and being the superstar that he is, he just shrugs it off. A lesser wrestler, perhaps with less experience, would let the fans get to him, but not Austin. He is focused. He wants to win his first World Heavyweight title. Irish whipping.

Don't pull his ass out.

Yeah, that's what he did. November to remember his name right now.

Oh, there he is. The fake music. The wwe.

Yep.

Version.

That's right.

It's just all drums.

We gotta hear this for five minutes.

On the former world Heavyweight champion, the Sandman.

Love it. He just puts his. Puts his foot on the back of mike his head, leans on the ropes, is like, come on, come on. Mikey washes Todd's car. There's the champ and Sandman.

Hey, he wasn't even out there yet. That was playing. Stroking their team.

The Sandman championship partner, of course, is too cold Scorpio, who coincidentally is also the world television champion. And should the Sandman walk out tonight

with the world Heavyweight title, there's our corrupt Philly cop.

See, he's drinking a local beer. The Rolling Rock.

Holy preoccupy.

With the Sandman turned his back, Mikey takes him over with the clothes line. Austin drags Mikey underneath the bottom rope. Mikey, it's the ste.

Music sucks horrible. Right out of match.

It's so bad.

Oh, no. He's

looking.

Menu music.

Yeah, it is just repeating.

I don't know which skin to pick.

It's like a DVD menu. Yeah, and you fall asleep and it just plays all night. Woman.

Austin showing no respect, but Sam Mansmore threw it in there.

Austin once again turns his attention towards the champion, The Superstar. All over, Mikey. All over.

Yeah. Austin doing his little Hulk Hogan thing here.

Yeah,

It looks good kick Austin. The Sandman burning a hole in one another with those cold hard stairs. And here we go. Austin in the Sandman. They're trading blows and quite frankly, Austin doesn't want to go there. If he hopes to beat the Sandman, he should. Wrestle him, Matt. Wrestle him. Take him down. Roll him up. Hit him. You can't. I repeat, no one can brawl with the same.

Be a guzzler versus the future beer guzzler now.

And the Sandman. Tw up Frank and Mikey.

Frank and Mikey. Mikey. Rana, Cross body. Oh, that. See you. Well.

Away from losing the World Heavyweight title, Austin now battling both the champion and the Sandman. Irish whipping. No reversal. Sandman pulls the top rope down.

That was so awkward. Hat guy's got a Santa hat on

his brother.

Yep.

Ghost Sandman

finishes his dancing.

What a shitty chop. That was bad. This is acw. Smack that up.

Come on.

Oh, Mikey. Mikey almost lands on his head.

Yeah. Had to block it.

Yep. Mikey throws the Sandman back in. Mikey throws Austin back in. Mikey would like to pin both challengers.

Mikey likes it. Shitty punches, shitty elbows.

Shitty chick. Shitty walk.

Shitty walk.

Oh.

Double nut shot. Oh.

Oh.

Miss that.

The three stooges.

Same idea. All three men staggered.

Now.

Steve can't see. Neither can the Sandman.

Now compare this to the match we saw of Austin. Vers. Dude. Love how it was just all action and this is like spot after spot with. With them resting in between.

Yeah.

Austin now charges the champion.

Pretty slow.

Right hand to the face. Pile driver.

There you go.

Pile driver. Knee drop.

That's a nice knee drop, that knee drop. It's too bad he hurt his knee knees or else he could have kept doing that.

Yeah, you know that's true. That's it. Get the down. Sam, man, go for a cover. Mikey's out. Austin should be champion for a moment at least, right? Champion is a little eliminated. The title's now vacant.

Yeah, the title is now vacant.

And right now Austin has the psychological advantage because in his mind right now, he is the champion. He just pinned Mikey.

What kind of rationale is that?

Yeah, Mikey's eliminated, so not.

It's not good rationalization.

No, I. I gotta bounce, guys.

All right, discussed when you get back. Just. You're gonna have to go back on. To download it. Yeah, to. Well, to close it out.

Cuz you want to just keep this running so just in case.

Oh, yeah, I guess. Yeah.

I'll just leave this on muted.

All right.

Sandman right out after him.

All right, now they're in the crowd. Clothesline there.

A shitty clothesline.

Lot of.

I mean, I. I don't think I was on. On with you guys to dirt when you were reviewing this match, but I mean, I don't remember you guys on the match this.

I don't think so.

As we have been.

It's probably just excited at the time. That was Austin.

Yeah.

And now I'm like, yeah, they already covered this.

Right. You can kind of see how. How, you know, especially given that we've. We've just watched a whole of bunch of other Austin matches and it's like he could do so much better.

Right. But he's limited with who he's working with.

Yeah.

It's not Mick Foley out there, right.

It's not Mick Foley. It's not Brad Armstrong.

Been involved in a matchup quite as extreme as this one.

Oh, Jesus.

Doesn't even fold the chair up.

Holy.

That doesn't look like he blocked it.

I don't think he blocked it.

No, he took it.

Look at that. Like nine year old in the first row with his mom.

I was just thinking. Yeah.

The Sandman sacrificing his own well being for the sake of. Of the world heavyweight title. Oh, he's in pain. He's trying to shake it off. You can see it's the right hand or the right wrist.

Thank God he's a lefty,

But he's definitely favoring that hand. Body slam on the outside. Sandman having a hard time setting up that table. And he goes into his face first. Austin sh them.

The hell is that? Looks like he's going to swing and hit a fan.

Yeah.

Where he's going with it. Sandman's wrapped up in the plastic. Yeah. Joey just said what I was saying. A little liner of the table right at the end. Plastic liner. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Will be the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion. Will the Sandman enjoy a second title? Right, Rain? Or will tonight be Austin's night?

Something like. Is that an old lady in the front row?

I don't know. I think it was a kid.

No, it's a. It's a security dude or something. Okay. I saw that chain and I'm like, that looks like it could be some. Some grandma in the front that just almost got run over by the Sandman.

Sandman's hurt. He's holding that right hand. Austin throws him back in.

Everyone's trying to hand out weapons.

Yeah. That they got at the dollar store next door.

Like drop time.

Keep your eye on the Superstar.

Nails it went for that over the engine missed earlier.

Yeah. The Sandman really having trouble with that right hand.

This clock is screwing with me. Three hours, 16 minutes, obviously. Two hours 16. Yeah.

It is weird though that it's saying three hours when Austin drops the knee again.

Hopefully it's fine.

Yeah, no kidding.

Give me the beer.

Then he spits it at her.

Oh, yeah. Okay. This is when he's drinking the Rolling Rock in the ring.

Yep. And spitting beer in his face. Austin mocking the sad man. And that may be a mistake. Broken hand or not. Steve Austin take this time. Time before winning the world title. And woman in a vain attempt to

get Popeye pouring beer on the Sandman.

It worked.

It worked.

He's back on his feet.

Like you can you can spit sand, spit beer in the Sandman's face and it, it does nothing. But if you pour it down his throat, that revives him.

I Sandman all over superstar Steve Austin.

Yeah, it's like if Sam was in a video game, you. You'd be like collecting bear bottles. That gives him energy, life back.

Yep.

Oh yeah. Little makeshift. Makeshift kns n. Roll tape.

Did make.

His.

Those the Sean Kemps. Is that what it was?

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's what JG said.

Yep.

Back of the head. Sandman wins with the knucks and Austin's foot is on the road too.

Yeah. So they had an out.

Yeah.

If Austin stuck around.

True. Rematch. But he's like, ah, that. I'm gonna go wrestle Savio Vega.

Right.

Get paid, get paid big bucks. Not after wrestling it a piece of crap bingo hall.

Right titles here in Extreme Championship.

All right, so we got one more segment and then we'll stop one here 316 day special. We'll save the book of tea Brawl. Grocery shopping, bro. Yeah, no, I did notice because I did watch that segment. They cut out my favorite line in the whole segment. They cut that out. They cut it out.

The best line.

He just walks off and they like, they, they just edit it out.

Oh, that, that's lame.

Cuz he would be saying it as his back's turned. Yeah, but they cut it. All right, so one more segment here from Heel era of Austin with Kurt Angle.

What?

They're always hilarious together. You wanted to see me?

You're damn right I wanted to see. We wanted to see you. Yeah, we wanted to see you. It's about your match.

Yeah, your match, Stooge.

Last Monday you got your ass whipped.

Yeah, you got your ass whipped Monday night.

You got to be my edge. Yeah, my edge. I don't want him to beat you again. Yeah, never again. I want you to go out there and prove yourself. Yeah, you prove yourself tonight. You better. You better go out there and represent yourself. Like you need to represent.

You know what reminds me of Timmy and Tommy from the sandlot right now.

So what?

I got the Sultan of Swat this time.

What,

what?

Off, whatever, all right, so we'll stop here 2 hours 12 minutes just before the start of this amazing segment. Yep, we'll get to it next time we do part two, which maybe sooner rather than later like I said before, but yeah, that was fun. It was fun to do that and see all the different segments and, you know, some unseen things and that was fun. Fun way to kick off 316 day. So hopefully listeners out there, you enjoyed watching along with it. Maybe you had a couple Steve Wises while you watched. I know I didn't because it was morning. Sunday morning.

I forget what it was, but they're covering the smackdown that was on his birthday, his 40th birthday. Because I think the. The logic behind it was Alex and Travis both turned 40 this year or just turned 40, as did Rick.

So no, no, last year you just turned 41. I just turned 41. Yeah.
