| 4 | * The... Chicago Screwjob? |
| 5 | -->'''V1''': Is ''this'' just [[Wrestling/TheFabulousMoolah Moolah's]] gimmick? Every month she [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections politicks]] and wins the belt? |
| 6 | ** A beautiful closeup of Wendi Richter's "'''[[Wrestling/MontrealScrewjob BRET FACE]]'''". |
| 7 | * Another gem from Commentator {{Wrestling/Vince|McMahon}}: [[Wrestling/JakeRoberts Jake Roberts]] continues his "undefeated streak" of 1-0. |
| 8 | * This is the first time any of the female "commentators" have ever [[TheDilbertPrinciple seen a wrestling match.]] |
| 9 | -->'''Jay''': Good time to start! |
| 10 | * [[{{Malaproper}} "Gene Mean"]] has to wrestle the mic away from [[Wrestling/TheIronSheik Shieky]]. OC calls him the Wrestling/ScottSteiner of his era. |
| 11 | -->"Imagine [[HamToHamCombat a debate]] between those two." |
| 12 | * Wrestling/AdrianAdonis' gimmick. Little known fact: It was the inspiration for ''Film/BigMommasHouse.'' |
| 13 | [[/folder]] |
| 14 | |
| 15 | [[folder:Episode 8: Wrestlemania IV (1988)]] |
| 16 | * The [=BttF II=] trailer, intercut with footage of modern wrestling. |
| 17 | -->'''Doc''': Look what happens to YOUR SON!\ |
| 18 | '''[[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]]''': [at Nick Hogan's mugshot] He's a complete wimp.\ |
| 19 | [later]\ |
| 20 | '''[=Vince McMahon=]''': [at {{Wrestling/Stephanie|McMahon}}'s rack] You're so ''big.'' |
| 21 | * [[Wrestling/UltimateWarrior Warrior]] vs. Hercules. "Yeah, ''good luck'', Hercules." |
| 22 | -->'''Jay''' So, you didn't get an entrance, but your ''opponent'' got a '''new''' entrance.\ |
| 23 | '''V1''': [guffaws] Yeeeaaaaah.\ |
| 24 | '''Jay''': [[JobberEntrance You're fucked]], mate. |
| 25 | * Somebody should let [[Series/WheelOfFortune Vanna White]] in on this storyline. Bob Ueker is [[DirtyOldMan chasing her ass]] all around Trump Plaza, and she has no idea who he is. |
| 26 | -->'''V1''': Yeah, he's only the guy who wants to ''rape'' you.\ |
| 27 | '''Jay''': [as Bob] "I remembered ''your'' name!" |
| 28 | * [[Wrestling/BrutusBeefcake The Barber]] strips away the source of [[Wrestling/JimmyHart Jimmy's]] power: his mullet. Jay and V1 point out the "carnies" in the audience laughing at (the well-groomed) Jimmy Hart. "'''FREAK!'''" |
| 29 | * Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon not-so-subtly trying to cover up Mr. [=McMahon's=] role as [[KingIncognito Vince Chairman.]] |
| 30 | -->'''V1''': He's not a very good commentator, but he's ''great'' at keeping kayfabe!\ |
| 31 | '''Jay''': They should've hired Wrestling/MarkHenry. |
| 32 | [[/folder]] |
| 33 | |
| 34 | [[folder:Episode 16: No Holds Barred (1989)]] |
| 35 | * V1 immediately pegs Kurt Fuller's character for a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Ted Turner imitator]]. He says it's art imitating life. Jay corrects him: "''This'' is not art." |
| 36 | -->'''V1''': [rethinks] This is ''sh''art imitating life. |
| 37 | * Zeus stabs at Rip with a ringpost. It reminds OOC of [[Wrestling/JohnNord Berserker]] vs. [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker Taker]] in 1992, which in turn reminds V1 of [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Link vs. Ganondorf]] in 2002. |

| 42 | -->'''Jay''': I'm glad you [[LastSecondWordSwap finished that sentence]] the way you did.\ |
| 43 | '''V1''': He'd ''murder'' me in the sack. |
| 44 | * Jay wonders aloud where the Red Rooster has gone to ("How dare you! This is ''[[NarmCharm his]]'' PPV!"), and OOC wishes it was him in the Gobbledy Gooker costume. |
| 45 | -->'''V1''' A brand new character where he's turning into a super-hero, 'cause he was bit by a radioactive rooster and is turning '''into''' a rooster.\ |
| 46 | '''Jay''': He's [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy the gimmick the WWF needs, not the gimmick the WWF deserves.]] |

| 49 | [[folder:Episode 24: Survivor Series 1991]] |
| 50 | * On Wrestling/RicFlair: "Much like Hogan in the mid-eighties, his promo and character were light-years ahead of everyone else. And in 1989, he had his trio of matches with Wrestling/RickySteamboat, which are lauded as the best of all time. ...betcha if ''we'' reviewed 'em, [[AccentuateTheNegative they'd be shit.]]" |

| 57 | [[/folder]] |
| 58 | |
| 59 | [[folder:Episode 27: The Marine 3: Homefront (2013)]] |
| 60 | * In Jay and V1's estimation, the homegrown anarcho-terrorist bomber [[RootingForTheEmpire raised some]] [[VillainHasAPoint good points]]. |
| 61 | ** This happens three times. |
| 62 | * Supposedly, V1 screamed at the telly when Miz's sister didn't run when she had the chance. |

| 68 | -->'''Jay:''' Shame they didn't bring in her non-union Mexican equivalent... [beat] ''Ariba'' [=McEntire=]. I'll get my coat. |
| 69 | * {{Wrestling/Shawn|Michaels}}'s [[VictoryPose win pose]] of shoving his valet to the mat (which [[TooKinkyToTorture she likes]]) is a little too hot for OOC's 90's sensibilities. ...hang on, this ''is'' the 90's. |
| 70 | -->'''OOC:''' Quite abusive.\ |
| 71 | '''Jay:''' Takin' a leaf out of Jake Roberts' book! |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder:Episode 30: Wrestlemania IX (1993)]] |
| 75 | * Before the {{review}} proper, Jay asks OOC to do his Vince impression for the opening of the PPV. He only makes it to one syllable before the lads crack up. |
| 76 | * After Jay reveals Brutus Beefcake got shitcanned ''immediately'' after Wrestlemania, and popped up with Hulk in WCW the following year, V1 [[JokeAndReceive inadvertently]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7OPKZLrOTs causes a brief digression]] into [[TwoAliasesOneCharacter Ed Leslie's multiple wrestling gimmicks]]. |
| 77 | -->'''V1''': [[TemptingFate I want to do a career retrospective on Bruti at some point.]] |
| 78 | -->'''Jay''': ''[[CrazyPrepared I got one right here.]]'' |
| 79 | ** "Ed Leslie! [[ButtMonkey He was]] ''[[ButtMonkey always]]'' [[ButtMonkey Hogan's bitch!]]" |
| 80 | *** Lest you think Jay is exaggerating, [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Leslie's]] ''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer literal first gimmick]]'' [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer was being Hogan's kayfabe younger brother in the AWA.]] |
| 81 | ** What's the biggest accomplishment you could get being Hogan's bitch in the world of wrestling in 1994? '''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Main eventing Starcade.]]''' |
| 82 | *** As an aside, before Jay drops the bombshell, he has OOC and V1 try and guess the answer. The closest OOC got? [[GaveUpTooSoon "Main event, number one contender."]] |
| 83 | ---->'''Jay''': ''In?'' |
| 84 | ---->'''OOC''': [[MathematiciansAnswer Wrestling.]] |
| 85 | ** Jay puts forth the theory that, after Starcade 1994, [[ForTheLulz Beefer's following gimmicks were purely for his own amusement]][[note]]thanks in part to guaranteed paychecks through working with Hulk[[/note]]. Case in point, the next two gimmicks he had: [[AmnesiacHero "The Man with No Name"]], and [[IceCreamKoan "The Man with No Face"]]. |
| 86 | --->'''V1''': As he was "The Man with No Face", [[LiteralMinded was his face showing?]] |
| 87 | --->'''Jay''': [[{{Feghoot}} No, he was heel.]] |
| 88 | --->[[{{Rimshot}} (game show jingle;]] [[ActuallyPrettyFunny lads laugh)]] |
| 89 | * The lads have a humorous discussion about Giant Gonzalez' costume, and what his gimmick is supposed to be. |
| 90 | [[/folder]] |
| 91 | |
| 92 | [[folder:Episode 32: Ready to Rumble (2000)]] |
| 93 | * In a movie supposedly catering to wrestling fans, the heroes are depicted as the biggest wastes of skin. Even the convenience store clerk [[GetOut wants them out.]] |
| 94 | -->'''OOC''': [[OffendingTheCreatorsOwn Wrestling fans are losers.]]\ |
| 95 | '''Jay''': Yeah. They're ''below'' Apu here.\ |
| 96 | [later]\ |
| 97 | '''OOC''': I wish I loved wrestling the way these guys love wrestling.\ |
| 98 | '''V1''': It's '''IMPOSSIBLE.'''\ |
| 99 | '''OOC''': I'd have to be mildly retarded. |
| 100 | ** What do our surrogates do? "They clean shit. They deal in literal shit." Cleaning shit from "shit-houses full of shit." "Not a [[ThisLoserIsYou subtle metaphor]] here." |
| 101 | --->'''V1''': [speaking for wrestling fans] I'm hardly gonna go into the jacks, have a ''shit'' in a cup, and ''throw that'' in your face.\ |
| 102 | '''Jay''': (Unless you're Wrestling/RandyOrton.) |
| 103 | ** Predictably, [[ToiletHumour the sewage tanker gets overturned]]. Not-so-predictably, another truck carrying TP crashes into the shit truck. |
| 104 | --->'''Jay''': So, did you like the real ''shit'' motif this movie had?\ |
| 105 | '''V1''': I can imagine ''Vince'' thinking this was hilarious. [Vinnie Mac voice] "'''[[ManChild OMG THEY CRASH A SHIT TRUCK AND THEN SHIT-ROLL COMES OUT BWAHAHA THREE-FOOT COCK]]'''" |
| 106 | ** To get into ''Nitro'', the good guys are shown smuggling Jimmy inside the most unlikely of [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's Guns]]: a portable shithouse. |
| 107 | --->'''OOC''': Does this building [[NobodyPoops not have any plumbing?]]\ |
| 108 | '''Jay''': Well, the only two plumbers in the country [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros went AWOL]]. |
| 109 | * "Steve, ''is'' wrestling fake?" OOC wisely declines to take the bait. |
| 110 | -->'''OOC''': Well, it's obviously not 'legit'.\ |
| 111 | '''V1''': It's not 'on the level'. |
| 112 | * Back home, Gordy's family greets him with point-blank, loaded and cocked Colt Pythons. |
| 113 | -->'''Jay''': Who points '''loaded guns''' at people?\ |
| 114 | '''V1''': Americans! |
| 115 | * Everything about Jimmy King screams "cocky heel" (he's smug royalty), but the crowd treats him as an underdog babyface? |
| 116 | -->'''Jay''': If this guy is a drunken, vomiting scumbag, is that like saying your favorite wrestler is Wrestling/JeffHardy ''smacked out of his bin'' on {{Wrestling/TNA}}?\ |
| 117 | '''V1''': "[[DesignatedHero What a hero! Put a crown on 'im.]]" |
| 118 | * For all their baleful stupidity, Jay expresses relief that our protagonists are sincere marks, rather than smarks. "Smarks are [[FanDumb dickheads.]]" |
| 119 | -->'''[=V1=]''': "'''[[Wrestling/BrayWyatt HUSKY HARRIS!]]'''"\ |
| 120 | '''Jay''': [nasally voice] ''"Jimmy King should have joined Wrestling/TheNexus!"'' |

| 122 | |
| 123 | [[folder:Episode 33: WCW Thunder April 26th, 2000]] |
| 124 | * Jay nails the non-thought process behind the White Hummer angle. |
| 125 | -->'''Jay''': Carmen Electra? [[Wrestling/SidEudy Sid Vicious]]? ''Maybe'' it was Hogan! ''Maybe'' it was {{Wrestling/Sting}}! And eventually: [-[[AbortedArc Stop asking]]-].\ |
| 126 | '''V1''': Sorry. The name...sticks out ''quite'' a bit. '''CARMEN ELECTRA?'''\ |
| 127 | '''OOC:''' W-what...why was ''she'' tryin' to kill Kevin Nash?\ |
| 128 | '''Jay''': Why you gotta--? Why you gotta [[AssPull hassle me about this]], man? |
| 129 | * V1 learning that Tank Abbott is most famous for his role on ''Friends.'' |
| 130 | -->'''V1''': "The One Where Monica's a Cunt"!\ |
| 131 | '''Jay''': That [[TakeThat does not narrow it down.]] |
| 132 | * Jay wonders why Russo didn't just put the World Heavyweight belt on Oliver Platt. OOC has the answer: "He's a ''successful'' actor." |
| 133 | [[/folder]] |
| 134 | |
| 135 | [[folder:Episode 34: Slamboree 2000]] |
| 136 | * The subtitle for this review (''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers The Three Cages]]'') opens on Middle Earth over a montage of WCW's biggest humiliations. |
| 137 | * Steve, ''what barrrrrrrrr'' is Tammy? Answer: Kit-Kat minus the chocolate ([[MissKitty crumpled tinfoil]]). |
| 138 | ** Shane Douglas is a sack of premium....dog food. (User-submitted) |
| 139 | ** "David Arquette is... a Negro". And yes that's an actual candy name, by the way. [[note]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro_(candy) The candy]] comes from Serbia and is named after its inventor, Pietro Negro. Also, the word negro simply regers to the color black in many Latin-based languages and is not used to reference dark-skinned people. The first syllable is pronounced "nay" instead of "nee" in these cases.[[/note]] |
| 140 | * Jay runs a [[SideBet pool]] over how many times Russo's World Title changed hands. |
| 141 | -->'''V1''': Put me down for 8.\ |
| 142 | '''OOC''': [warily] ....''twentyyyyyyyy''.....three.\ |
| 143 | '''Jay:''' The answer is: Twenty-'''FIVE''' times. [cue groans] You undersold it, Steve. |
| 144 | ** In the wrap-up, Jay runs another pool over how many people bought this PPV. |
| 145 | --->'''OOC''': ''[[WhammyBid Eighty-five thousand]]''.\ |
| 146 | '''Jay''': Disqualified, for bein' a cunt. |
| 147 | ** V1 searches for positives in the [[Wrestling/LexLuger Luger]] match, which OOC enjoyed. "......um............he hit a nice suplex?............ahh....." |
| 148 | --->'''OOC:''' [bristling] That's '''''it?'''''\ |
| 149 | '''V1:''' I wrote here, ''"I am shocked at how [[DamnedByFaintPraise decent]] this match was."''\ |
| 150 | '''OOC:''' Just like every ''other'' Lex Luger match you've ever watched. |
| 151 | * Russo, twirling his mustache, absconds with Liz and crams her into the... Lex Express. What the hell was Lex doing there? "He's like, ''"[[WrestlingDoesntPay All abooooooooooooard!]]"'') |
| 152 | * Ever-reliable OOC expresses an interest in reading Russo's book... but only after V1 blasts it. V1 says it's just Vinnie slagging on people (after opening by promising he won't slag on people, SWERVE). Jay retorts that it's probably a cookbook, SWERVE. |
| 153 | [[/folder]] |
| 154 | |
| 155 | [[folder:Episode 38: One Night Stand 2005]] |
| 156 | * The lads show off their [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]] voices. |
| 157 | -->'''V1:''' That's ''amazing''. Can you say any other sentences in that accent?\ |
| 158 | '''Jay:''' No. |
| 159 | ** V1 whines that his gets mixed up with [[Wrestling/JimRoss J.R.]] |

| 161 | [[/folder]] |
| 162 | |
| 163 | [[folder:Episode 39: One Night Stand 2006]] |
| 164 | * More piss taken out of ECW. This time, it's the [[Wrestling/MickFoley Foley]]/Flair 'feud'. Jay imitates them reading cue cards. (''"Oooooh, what you said in '''[[ReadingTheStageDirectionsOutLoud ln. 6 para. 2]]]]'''"'') |
| 165 | * OOC is his usual contrarian self, shaming Jay for taking satisfaction in [[Wrestling/NickDinsmore Eugene]] getting punched. He then agrees that it [[HypocrisyNod made him tingle as well.]] |
| 166 | * Jay's A Capella version of "Mister Sandman", with OOC scatting in the back. |
| 167 | -->''"Mister [[Wrestling/JimFullington Sandman]], bring me a dream! ♫\ |

| 176 | * [[BoomerangBigot FFFFFFFFFFFFfucking Brits with their airhorns.]] |
| 177 | * Jay loves [[Wrestling/SteveBlackman Blackman]] because a) Because he's great, and b) well he doesn't even need a b) 'cause the a) was so ''great!'' |
| 178 | ** "You can't even argue with that." -- V1 |
| 179 | --->'''Jay:''' I think he's cool. He's a [[{{McNinja}} white ninja.]] (I was gonna say [[VideoGame/MortalKombat3 MK3 Sub-Zero]].) His complete lack of charisma means '''boundless''' charisma; just went so far down 0 that he's a 10. |
| 180 | ** Blackman breaks out his Hardcore weapons from a bag, and OOC wonders how [kayfabe] he got it though customs. |
| 181 | --->'''V1:''' [checklist] "Sticks n' stuff!"\ |
| 182 | '''Jay:''' "'''[[ManlyFacialHair BEARD.]]'''" |
| 183 | * '''[[Film/XMenTheLastStand A'HM THE BLOODY JUGGERNAUT, YOU WANKER]]''' |
| 184 | * Wrestling/KenShamrock's presence on the card leads V1 to discover the existence of the Marvel superhero [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Molly_Fitzgerald_(Earth-616) Shamrock]], [[ClicheStorm who wears an all-green full cover body suit, complete with shamrock insignia, and has luck-based powers]]. Or, as Jay initially assumes, [[RefugeInAudacity "she can take needle drugs at an increased rate"]]. |
| 185 | ** What caused her to retire from being a superhero? [[KickTheDog She broke her leg in her house,]] ''[[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope which caused her to become alcoholic.]]'' |
| 186 | --->'''V1''': [[SoBadItsGood This is too funny to even be offensive! Like, it's- it's fucking amazing!]] |
| 187 | ** Jay then points out "these days, she's in [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]]", which causes V1 to address [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom a topic he wished to avoid]]: at the time of recording, V1's [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer real-life friend,]] Wrestling/BeckyLynch, made her debut on NXT, after wanting to wrestle her whole life... [[KickTheDog in a green outfit, to Irish shanty music, while dancing a jig.]] |
| 188 | --->'''V1''': A fuckin' '''jig?!''' Are you ''havin' a laugh?!'' |
| 189 | ** Other suggested gimmicks for Becky include [[CrossesTheLineTwice a potato costume and getting punched by her husband.]] |
| 190 | * Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin half-asses his promo. "Fuck you, Britain." |
| 191 | * Wrestling/DLoBrown gawks around London, bumping into a very young "Jay Hunter" along the way (the only guy who recognizes him). |
| 192 | -->'''V1''' He marked out to someone marking out to ''him!'' That's so fucking carnie!\ |
| 193 | '''Jay''': When ''we'' saw him at TNA and recognized him, he [[SmallNameBigEgo got all stroppy]] about it. Just ''show us to our seats'' without the sass. |
| 194 | * Rock vs. [[Wrestling/XPac Mossy]] for the WWF Title. No, seriously, fuck you Britain. |
| 195 | [[/folder]] |
| 196 | |
| 197 | [[folder:Episode 41: ECW on Sci-Fi]] |
| 198 | * The mere ''existence'' of The Zombie causes Jay to discuss WCW's Capitol Combat 1990 PPV, which infamously had '''Franchise/RoboCop''' show up and save Sting from the Four Horsemen. |
| 199 | -->'''Jay''': It's like- "Wrestlin' fans, y-you'll accept ''any'' old shit! [[ARareSentence Robocop's]] ''[[ARareSentence fuckin' real]]'' [[ARareSentence and he lives in the same world as WCW!]]" |
| 200 | ** V1 counters that, [[DamnedByFaintPraise at the very least,]] [[TakeThat The Zombie cuts a better promo than Randy Orton.]] |

| 202 | |
| 203 | [[folder:Episode 43: December to Dismember 2006]] |
| 204 | * {{Wrestling/Test}} leaves the company after a failed drug screening. Cut to {{Wrestling/TNA}}... |
| 205 | -->'''V1''': "I'll show '''YOU''' [[BuffySpeak 'roidy!]] You call that a 'roid?! '''[[Film/CrocodileDundee THIS]]''' is a 'roid!" |
| 206 | * Jay refers to Matt Stryker as an "even less-successful Dean Douglas". On the contrary, V1 says, this is his "dream gimmick": Someone who comes out, sighs, and then [[StrawFan rails on about the rules to Vince McMahon]]. |
| 207 | -->"''5 out of 5''" -- [[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter Dave Meltzer]] |
| 208 | * The episode's Ad Break Questionarium is to guess how the name "Le,a" is pronounced, as V1's friend's friend named their daughter that. It is revealed that the name is pronounced as "Le-''DASH''-ah". Cue the boys going into outrage. |
| 209 | -->'''OOC''': Do they ''think'' it's a dash? |
| 210 | [[/folder]] |
| 211 | |
| 212 | [[folder:Episode 44: Hell in a Cell 2014]] |
| 213 | * '''FUCK IF WE'RE PLAYING THAT [[Wrestling/BellaTwins AUTOTUNE GARBAGE.]]''' Jay instead plays the Right to Censor music because it's marginally less-offensive. |
| 214 | * Now entering the ring, [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Mike Matei]]! ([[Wrestling/CodyRhodes Stardust]].) |
| 215 | * Say, we haven't seen those young upstarts Cena and Orton on the card in a while. A week at ''least''. They could really use the push. |
| 216 | -->'''V1''': How. Can anyone. ''Possibly'' be interested in this match.\ |
| 217 | '''Jay''': If you started watching wrestling [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative last month]].\ |
| 218 | '''V1''': Yeah... OK.\ |
| 219 | '''Jay''': That's all I have. |
| 220 | * V1 speculates that Vince could turn the '''U.S. ARMY''' heel by thanking them for protecting our right to hear "Voices". |
| 221 | * [[Wrestling/DamienSandow Sandow]]'s costume is going for "{{Wrestling/Seamus}}", but ends up at [[Series/TheMuppetShow Beaker]]. |
| 222 | * Wrestling/AliciaFox is allowed at ringside despite being an active manager. Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon would never approve! |

| 225 | * [[{{Music/ZZTop}} ZZ Hulk]]. ''"Hyah hyah hyah hyah!"'' |
| 226 | * A main event heel turn from Orton, in what is supposedly Wrestling/DeanAmbrose's night. "'''Fuck''' off, Ambrose. Back to the midcard!" |
| 227 | -->'''V1''': '''''VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM''''' beep beep beep beep!\ |
| 228 | '''Jay''': He's ''driving'' to the midcard? |
| 229 | * As everyone knows, tag-teaming with Cena ''will'' get you over guaranteed. Just ask Wrestling/ZackRyder, Wrestling/EvanBourne, and who could forget [[Wrestling/PrimeTimePlayers Cryme Tyme]]? |

| 236 | ** Later, when Living Colour hits during {{Wrestling/AJ|Lee}}'s entrance, a caption appears reading, "'''[[Wrestling/CMPunk I GET THAT REFERENCE]]'''" |

| 248 | -->'''Maffew''': With mustaches and fake glasses. |

| 252 | * The genesis of The New Day's new gimmick: |
| 253 | -->'''Jay''': You can dance and sing gospel, can't you?\ |
| 254 | '''Maffew''': [as Vince [=McMahon=]] '''OF COURSE YA CAN, [[UncleTomfoolery YOU'RE BLACK!!]]''' |
| 255 | * The reveal of the Anonymous Raw GM. Maffew compares his internal feelings to [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Lyle Lanley]]. |
| 256 | -->"Where do I know that name? ...'''[[Wrestling/{{Hornswoggle}} Oh no.]]'''" |
| 257 | [[/folder]] |
| 258 | |
| 259 | [[folder:Episode 45b: The Happening (2008)]] |
| 260 | * Jay does his usual "chronological critique", this time of [[Creator/MNightShyamalan M. Knight's]] library. V1 likes ''Signs'', OOC is an ''Unbreakable'' man, and Jay quite liked ''The Village''. Then comes ''Lady in the Water.'' |
| 261 | -->'''OOC''': [winces at the memory] Oh, man. It's.....''why'' is it...? WHY?\ |
| 262 | '''Jay''': I don't know. I don't know! [[SuckinessIsPainful I JUST DON'T KNOW, STEVE!]] |
| 263 | * Jay ribs OOC for not appreciating Marky Mark, as he's the acting equivalent of John Cena. |
| 264 | * OOC doggedly tries to find logic in the film, and V1 barks that it doesn't have '''SET RULES'''. |
| 265 | * ''Le Happening.'' |
| 266 | -->'''OOC''': ''L'appeont.''\ |
| 267 | '''V1''': '''[[BigOMG OH. MON. DIEU.]]''' |
| 268 | [[/folder]] |
| 269 | |
| 270 | [[folder:Episode 46: Halloween Havoc 1995]] |
| 271 | * Marc Mero gets to the arena late after his tire blows out. He's [[AshFace soot-faced]], so he obviously removed the rivets [[NowThatsUsingYourTeeth with his teeth.]] |
| 272 | * "Steve, WHAT BAR is Zodiac?" OOC busts his balls for using re-using "Blackjack" as an answer. |
| 273 | -->'''V1''': If I can use "Mars" bar, "Mars Planet", "Mars Delight" in the space of three shows, I can do a TabletopGame/{{blackjack}} bar--({{double take}}) hold on '''[[ForgotICouldChangeTheRules I INVENTED this gimmick!]]''' |
| 274 | * A fan gets escorted out by "[[PoliceBrutality Detroit's finest]]", as Jay nails the ''Simpsons'' reference. |
| 275 | * Colonel Parker hypes [[Wrestling/JeffJarrett Jarrett]] as "The World's Greatest Lover." ('Cause he'd know, obviously.) |
| 276 | * In a soul-destroying tape dredged from the Indie swamp, Virgil is beaten up by ''a [[UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan KKK]] tag team''. Not coincidentally, Jay looks back with more fondness on the Russo era, but V1 contends that Abyss winning the World Title by disqualification was worse. |
| 277 | -->'''Jay''': DQ Title Change: [[{{Dissimile}} the Klan]] |
| 278 | ** To make it more soul-crushing, one of the members of the Klan team is '''[[Wrestling/JimNeidhart Jim Fucking Neidhart]]''', still wearing his pink and black tights. |
| 279 | * '''[[ARareSentence THE DUNGEON OF DOOM'S MONSTER TRUCK IS STRONGER THAN YOURS!]]''' |
| 280 | * Jay mixed up [[Wrestling/EdFarhat The Sheik]] with The ''Iron'' Sheik, openly dreading the mail he's gonna get. His impersonation of American smarks is priceless. |
| 281 | * The geriatric Sheik is a little slow on the draw, lobbing a "fireball" at {{Wrestling/Sabu}}'s opponent ''after'' Sabu has [[TheCavalryArrivesLate already won.]] |
| 282 | -->'''V1''': '''FUCKING CARNY.''' I '''LOVE''' it! |
| 283 | * V1 confuses "Maniac" Mike Hill's wife for his daughter. "This ''is'' the DeepSouth, you know." |
| 284 | * [[Wrestling/BobbyHeenan The Brain]] clearly wishes he were someone else. He proceeds to insult Hogan with "[[LameComeback 12 percent of a joke]]". |
| 285 | ** This reinforces Jay's belief that Heenan hits his initial mark and then goes to lunch afterwards. Just like Jerry Lawler, V1 chimes in... minus [[InsultToRocks the hitting the mark part.]] |
| 286 | * Ric Flair agrees to tag with Sting, only to betray him, [[ForegoneConclusion to the surprise of no one.]] |
| 287 | -->'''Jay''': To be fair... I blame Sting. Himself and Flair have been feuding since ''1988''. [[TooDumbToLive And Flair has turned on Sting]] ''[[HereWeGoAgain twice.]]'' |
| 288 | * Mean Gene grows annoyed with Hogan flexing in front of his face, blocking him from the camera as he tries to hype up the next "Pay-Per-View '''''SPECTACULAR!'''''" |
| 289 | ** Backstage, a livid Mean Gene says that Flair's betrayal is the worst thing he's ever seen. He clearly wasn't paying attention to the promo he just cut with Hogan. |
| 290 | --->'''OOC''': [[SarcasmMode What a great life you've had.]] |
| 291 | * Right as they are about to get into the Monster Truch Match itself, V1 briefly goes off on [[CrackIsCheaper how much money WCW was burning through with this match]]. Even better, as V1 (along with Jay) discuss this, the footage of the PPV has Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan talking to the camera with serious expressions, [[GagDub making it seem like Tony and Bobby are themselves berating WCW.]] |
| 292 | -->'''V1''': (as Bobby rants) They sprung for everything fucking else, didn't they? Monster trucks, helicopter shots... oh my God... |
| 293 | -->'''Jay''': Harley Davidsons. |
| 294 | -->'''V1''': Harley Davidsons! ''Wow!'' [[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption (as Bobby points upward) One being squished,]] one being given away... [[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption (Bobby points his thumb behind him) This company... (as Bobby points all over, including downward) well on track to going out of business.]] |
| 295 | -->'''Jay''': (as Tony points to the camera) You've guaranteed you will not make money on event. |
| 296 | * Hogan getting hit in the face with [[Film/ThePrincessBride Fezzik's]] shirt. This is what finally ''broke'' Jay. |
| 297 | -->'''Jay''': [dizzy] My head hurts.\ |
| 298 | '''V1''': Yeah, the back of my head is actually a bit sore as well. The '''BIGGEST''', most '''[[MoneyToThrowAway EXPENSIVE]]''' match in history, that began 'cause of [[SillyReasonForWar a fucking frilly shirt]]. |
| 299 | ** "'''''MEMBER THIS, HOGAN?!'''''" |
| 300 | * The much-hyped Monster Truck Match [-(*''Russo jizzspit''*)-] leaves much to be desired. |
| 301 | -->'''V1''': This makes wrestling look like fuckin' UsefulNotes/{{UFC}}.\ |
| 302 | '''Jay''': It's like a bad lucha match. |
| 303 | ** [[Wrestling/EricBischoff Bischoff]] and co. mention that Hogan lacks monster truck experience ([[CaptainObvious no shit]]), while Giant was seen driving one with ease. In spite of that, Hogan is still triumphant. '''EVEN IN DRIVING, HOGAN CAN'T JOB.''' |
| 304 | ** Heenan's {{facepalm}} at Bischoff's hasty [[NoOneCouldHaveSurvivedThat pronouncement of death]]. Come back, Schiavone, all is forgiven. |
| 305 | --->'''Heenan''': [actual quote] I don't understand anything. |
| 306 | ** And of course there is [[Wrestling/BigShow The Giant's]] pratfall, which is rightfully accompanied by the lads singing: ''Aloha Show!'' |
| 307 | * An older Hogan tries (and fails) to slam ''this'' giant. "Holy finger of fudge, Batman!" |
| 308 | ** Even that barrel of laughs, Tony Schiavone, thinks "Hulkamania running wild" is old hat. |
| 309 | -->'''Jay''': Oh, fuckin' [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs cheers]]. He's only been in your federation a year. |
| 310 | ** Even the ''ref'' marks out when Hogan points his finger. "Awesome." |
| 311 | * OOC, who has been clinical and silent throughout this PPV, can be heard cracking up during the "Yeti bumsex". |
| 312 | [[/folder]] |
| 313 | |
| 314 | [[folder:Episode 47: Royal Rumble 2001]] |
| 315 | * Nonstop mockery of Drew Carey's guest appearance. |
| 316 | -->''"Oh hey Wrestling/KurtAngle WWE World Champ, [[LesserStar I've never heard of ya.]]"'' |
| 317 | * The lengthy discussion over Wrestling/{{Chyna}}: |
| 318 | ** Her ''Playboy'' spread ([[BileFascination Jay succumbed]] and bought it). |
| 319 | ** Her autobiography (the 4 people who read it are invited to post their thoughts). |
| 320 | ** And her "neck fusion surgery" angle -- which lasts [[HollywoodHealing 3 weeks.]] Fuck you, Austin. Fuck you, Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}}. Fuck you, {{Wrestling/Rhyno}}. Fuck you, {{Wrestling/Lita}}... |
| 321 | --->'''Jay''': So whereas Austin needed ''eleven months'' to get better, Chyna needs just 1½. [beat] '''FFFFFFFFFFFFFF--'''\ |
| 322 | '''V1''': It's the 9th Wonder of the World. [[WaxingLyrical Don't treat her like you know her.]] |
| 323 | * WWE interviewers ask teh man on da street who should win the Rimble. The answers sound suspiciously canned... |
| 324 | -->'''OOC''': ''"Triple H is going to win 'cause he's The Game." "Angle's going to win 'cause he's has the ''3 I's'', it's true."'' And another guy says, ''"[[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin And that's the bottom line]] [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson 'cos The Rock said so]] [[Wrestling/HulkHogan brother jack]] [[Wrestling/{{Tazz}} let the pigeons loose.]]"'' |
| 325 | * Did WWE poach [[EasilyDistractedReferee Earl Hebner]] from the NFL? |
| 326 | -->'''OOC''': Triple H starts grabbin' the ropes and Angle starts screamin', and Hebner's like, ''"Wha--? I don't get it. Why are you pointing over there? What are you pointing at?"''\ |
| 327 | '''Jay''': ''"Ahh, you're tryin' to trick me to make me look away, but I won't!"'' |
| 328 | * Wrestling/HonkyTonkMan gets clocked with his own guitar. Cue disapproving [[Memes/ProfessionalWrestling Mike Graham]]. |
| 329 | -->''Never drew a dime!'' |
| 330 | * The metre gauging the frizziness of Kane's hair. |

| 334 | [[folder:Episode 49: Wrestlemania 31 (2015)]] |

| 338 | |
| 339 | [[folder:Episode 50: No Way Out 2001]] |
| 340 | * "Stephanie says "bitch" three times. A young Roman Reigns takes notes." |
| 341 | * We revisit the Comatose [=Linda McMahon=] angle. "[[DullSurprise Plays to her strengths.]]" |
| 342 | * [=Vince McMahon=], one of the worst sellers of the Stunner ''ever''. Jay compares him to a hot water bottle jiggling from shock. |
| 343 | * 40 minutes in, some "accurate cunt" in the crowd belts Austin with a laser-precise beer can. |
| 344 | -->'''Jay''': It's Wrestling/TerryFunk throwin' it!\ |
| 345 | '''V1''': Imagine if Austin [[SuperReflexes just catches it]]. [sound of popping can] |
| 346 | * The lads puzzle over Vince's decision to launch the '''X'''tra '''F'''un '''L'''eague days after the Super Bowl. |
| 347 | -->"Comin' May 26th! Champion's--? [beat] '''[[PretenderDiss B]]'''eague!" |
| 348 | -->'''Jay''': Although they did manage to make a tidy [[BadNewsIrrelevantNews ten dollars]] from ''me'' buying an XFL shirt.\ |
| 349 | '''OOC''': You're such a mark.\ |
| 350 | '''Jay''': I used to wear it to house shows. |
| 351 | ** Rather than a coin toss, first play is determined by two opposing players scrambling for the ball ("I like that!" -- V1). As the shape of things to come, the first scramble of the first game saw the "winner" leave with a separated shoulder. With no health insurance. [[TheScrooge Thanks, Vince!]] |
| 352 | ** Vince even managed to [[EpicFail crash the XFL blimp]] (deployed over an NFL game as a PR stunt), costing him another $2 million. |
| 353 | --->'''OOC''': Oh, the humanity. |
| 354 | * STEVE! WHAT BAR is Jerry Lawler (in a leopard print onsie)? |
| 355 | -->"An old banana." |
| 356 | * Steven Richards vs. Lawler: "SHITE match. SHITE moves. SHITE booking. '''SHITE.'''" |
| 357 | * Chyna update: '''2 people''' admit to reading her book. |
| 358 | -->'''Jay''': ''"It's written like she's having a conversation with you, and she frequently breaks off from the story to make a lame joke or quick observation in her own words."''\ |
| 359 | '''V1''': Sounds like ''our'' show. That sounds '''[[SelfDeprecation awesome]]'''. |
| 360 | * [[TongueTwister Triple Threat Tag Title Tables Match]][?] |
| 361 | -->'''OOC''': Tag ''Team'' Tables Match.\ |
| 362 | '''Jay''': '''FFFFFFFUCK!''' |
| 363 | * [[Wrestling/AttitudeEra Attitude]] 'Taker reminds OOC of his grandad on a push-bike. This image causes Jay and V1 to lose it. |
| 364 | [[/folder]] |
| 365 | |
| 366 | [[folder:Episode 51: WCW Night of Champions (2001)]] |
| 367 | * Nature Boy's [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes "Calvin hair"]]. ("State of your '''HAIRSTYLE''', mate!") |
| 368 | * What's better than ''Aloha Arn''? ''Aloha Arn'' in Dave Penzer's style of announcing! |
| 369 | * Vince plugs ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' while {{Wrestling/Trish|Stratus}} hand-feeds him strawberries like Julius Caesar. "Agh, WCW is ''shit.'' Florida is ''shit''. The fans are ''shit''. [-BTW [[TakeThatAudience tune in next Monday.]]-]" |
| 370 | ** As Trish and Vince maul each other, the camera pans to a puddle of milk. Jay suggests an even ''less'' subtle image of [[SexyDiscretionShot a train zooming into a tunnel]]--perhaps even a model train set next to the couch. V1 thinks Vince would insist on [[BiggerIsBetterInbed bigger and bigger toy trains]] until it uproots the arch and pushes it down the track. |
| 371 | ** '''[[{{Padding}} Vince gets his coat!]]''' End scene. |
| 372 | --->''*[[SarcasticClapping pops from Steves]]*'' |

| 374 | ** Jay is audibly straining to say it all in one go, and is rewarded with Steve Pops. |
| 375 | * Another 90s reference falls flat as no one besides Jay remembers ''Series/HangTime''. "It was the shit ''Series/CaliforniaDreams''. [beat] Which was the shit ''Series/SavedByTheBell''." |
| 376 | * Skipping ahead to 2003: The late [[Characters/WCWFinalYears Sean O'Haire]] debuts his "[[LouisCypher Devil's Advocate]]" gimmick, making an instant impression with his seedy promos and amoral teachings. |
| 377 | -->'''Vince:''' WE'RE PUTTIN YA WITH [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper PIPER]]! '''[[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle 2003 RODDEH PIPER!]]''' |
| 378 | * This is rapidly becoming a snapshot of WCW's downfall: Guys with ''no'' personality, given ''no'' time, with ''no'' match storyline ([[Characters/WWEAttitude Stasiak]] insulted... bald people?) [[ViewersAreGoldfish Onto the next match!]] |
| 379 | -->"[whining] ''[[Wrestling/EricBischoff Why aren't they getting oveeeerrrr?]]"'' |
| 380 | * Ad spots for WCW credit card. OOC would be humiliated to have a half-naked Buff Bagwell in his pocket. |
| 381 | -->'''Jay''': And if ya sign up, Bischoff charges $62 million to your account! |
| 382 | * Sting's meat locker full of bats. "It's not a good feng shui. You're walkin' through at night-- '''[[RakeTake BAM!]]''' ''[='=]Agh! What the fuck--?! Bats![='=]''" |
| 383 | -->'''Jay''': Originally, it was big, black bully cocks. |
| 384 | ** V1 still marks out for Surfer Sting, even if he misremembers his song lyrics. |
| 385 | * To the bitter end, ''Nitro'' had more [=PPVs=] in the works to compliment 2001's ''Greed'': ''Envy'', ''Deceit'', and ''Pride''. '''Not''' planned were ''WCW Shame'' and ''WCW Embarrassment''. |
| 386 | ** Back in Stamford, it was planned for Linda [=McMahon=] to awaken from her "zombie sleep" to bid on WCW's assets. |

| 391 | * *groan* "Viiinnnce viiiignettes." |
| 392 | -->'''Jay''': {{Get out}}! And bring back Zombie Linda! |
| 393 | ** In a now-famous promo Vince suggests that Jeff change his name to "Double '''G''', double '''O''', double '''N''', double '''E'''!" |
| 394 | --->'''Lads''': ''Guhgooonaay?'' |
| 395 | ** When Vince crows that "The Lex Express has run out of gas!", Jay clarifies that steroids are expensive. |
| 396 | ** Much kudos to Vince for holding his [[EyeTake bewildered expression]] for an "ice age", due to the feed with {{Wrestling/Shane|McMahon}} being out of sync. |
| 397 | ** OOC scoffs at losses from the XFL and WWF NY, saying they are "a drop in the bucket". V1 shoots back that it was 10 percent of Vince's earnings; after that he was "just" a millionaire again. |
| 398 | --->'''Jay''': Oh, ''my heart bleeds''. You've only got hundreds of millions of dollars. Linda can only run for Senate '''three more''' times. |
| 399 | * Jay and V1 can't take Taz seriously anymore; ''Botchamania'' has ruined him. "Even looking back, he's just a joke now." "Well done, Maffew." |
| 400 | * V1 is a little slow on the draw with his Vince voice, so OOC pitches in with his own (horrible) impression, which Jay chooses to stick with. |
| 401 | ** Jay's is no better; his "Vince" voice is the same as his "David Arquette" voice. |
| 402 | * Return of the Durst-ertaker. OOC theorizes that Taker [[{{Film/SupermanII}} used a Superman capsule to strip away his powers]]. But the capsule needs 1000 days to recharge, so it took three years to get 'em back. |
| 403 | -->'''Jay''' (as Taker) "[[BroughtDownToNormal I regret this instantly]]." |
| 404 | * OOC says Wrestling/XPac "dances" like he took a big shit in his pants. His arm movements are actually covert "calls for assistance". |
| 405 | * {{Wrestling/Eddie|Guerrero}} missed his chance to land a spinning heel kick on his opponent, so he just does one in the ring, all alone. |
| 406 | -->'''V1''': Does he go "'''[[FunnyBruceLeeNoises WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAH!]]'''" like last time?\ |
| 407 | '''Jay''': He's too depressed. [sadly] "[-neeeaaaah-]" |
| 408 | ** OOC questions why "Special Guest Referee" Eddie keeps trying to fast-count {{Wrestling/Test}}. "Wouldn't he want the match to go on ''[[FridgeLogic as long as possible]]'' to tire him out?" |
| 409 | -->'''V1''': Look at you with your ''sense''.\ |
| 410 | '''Jay''': [derisively] ''Logic''.\ |
| 411 | '''V1''': [Vince grumble] It's 'rasslin, Steve. |
| 412 | ** OOC compares this match to Wimbledon (which he'd rather be watching), causing the others to lose it. |
| 413 | * Test lands a successful pump handle slam. Nothing like [[Wrestling/DGenerationX Road Dogg's]] "piece of shit slam", where he molests you before he slams you. |
| 414 | -->'''V1''': And we have a new winner for Greatest Quote Ever. |
| 415 | ** The homoerotica of pro wrestling comes up again. OOC praises Jay for performing a real-life slam in the past, but admits he "wouldn't wanna be on the receiving end of it." |
| 416 | -->'''Jay''': I just ''like to watch.'' |
| 417 | * While on the topic of "Foley is Good", V1 loses track of how many autobiographies Foley's put out. OCC couldn't stomach ''The Hardcore Diaries'', as "60 percent" of it was Foley mentioning D-list celebrities he knows. |
| 418 | -->'''OCC''': Mick, I fuckin' ''bought'' that from you, and ''[[BrokenPedestal you signed it.]]''\ |
| 419 | '''Jay''' Would ya read about him meeting Phil Bergen? '''THE''' Phil Bergen! |
| 420 | ** More reviews from the "WWE UNIVERSE!": |
| 421 | ### Art Reist [[GagCensor (who is "accompanied" by a picture of Right to Censor)]] says: "Not as good as 'Have a Nice Day'. [[ToughActToFollow That about covers it.]]" |
| 422 | ### Dave Higgins says: "Because ''nothing'' pops wrestling fans like research and statistics." |
| 423 | ### Scott Menzies says: "The book was kinda like his career; he should have stopped when he was at the top, but [[{{Wrestling/TNA}} he kept on coming back with inferior results.]]" |
| 424 | ** V1 and OOC demand a memoir from Virgil now. |
| 425 | * The Lads lament that their "boy" [[Wrestling/WilliamRegal Regal]] was the best commissioner, but he was never booked as a big draw. |
| 426 | -->'''[=V1=]''': He's just a Boy. 'Cause if he ''was'' a top Guy... [beat] ...''Goy?''" |

| 461 | * [[ARareSentence "I think we do racism well."]] |
| 462 | * When it comes time to cover Lex Luger's match with Randy Savage, Jay points out something that winds up changing the lads' perspective of Lex: Every time he takes a hit or a bump, he sells it ''[[LargeHam by yelling in "pain"]]''. |
| 463 | -->'''Jay''': His "OW!" can't be unheard. |
| 464 | -->'''V1''': Fuuu''uck'' you lads, I can't ''unhear'' Lex now. |

| 486 | -->'''Jay''': (as Jimmy cleans the barn) This is letting outsiders know what the real Ireland is like! |
| 487 | -->'''V1''': (over pictures of Dublin) Dublin is ''fake news'', you know... That- that's what Ireland sends out because that's what we want people to ''think '' it's like, (cut to more barn footage) but this is how it ''is''. |
| 488 | * The film flashing back during a montage, to all the events that happened up to about ten or fifteen minutes prior causes V1 to hit his RageBreakingPoint: |
| 489 | --> '''V1:''' ''I'VE '''JUST''' SEEN IT! I don't need to watch it again! FUCK OFF! Jimmy!'' |

| 492 | [[folder:Episode 72: Survivor Series 1992]] |
| 493 | * OOC wondering why Wrestling/TheUndertaker always puts silk cushions in his caskets, and Jay answering that maybe Taker is prepared for that in case he loses. |
| 494 | [[/folder]] |
| 495 | |
| 496 | |
| 497 | [[folder:Episode 73: WWE First Ever RAW!]] |
| 498 | * Among the venues considered for Raw at the start? The Hammerstein Ballroom in the Manhattan Center, which most know as being ECW's future venue. [[TakeThat It was shot down for being too shitty.]] |
| 499 | -->'''V1''': ''Fuck you'', Heyman! |
| 500 | * As Jay reveals, at Raw's outset, the WWE wrestlers were paid a TV wage per show. That wage? '''''$25.'''''[[note]]With the gate profits being $6000.[[/note]] |
| 501 | -->'''V1''': Would that even get them a taxi home?! |
| 502 | -->'''Jay''': "Ya have feet, don't ya?" |
| 503 | -->'''V1''': Fuck... Vince, you fucking ''genius!'' |
| 504 | -->'''OOC''': [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe (taken aback) So...]] ''The Undertaker. Bret Hart. HBK.'' |
| 505 | -->'''V1''': [[FromBadToWorse Did they tax off that?]] (Jay and OOC laugh harder) "Turns out you're coming out with $21.37, lads, actually." |
| 506 | -->[...] |
| 507 | -->'''Jay''': WWF Monday Night Raw, let's do it to it! |
| 508 | -->({{Beat}}) |
| 509 | -->'''V1''': ''The Undertaker.'' |
| 510 | -->'''Jay''': (chuckles) $25... It's like, "Where's that vulture you had at Mania-" oh, I had to cook it. |
| 511 | ** On the topic of "Headlock for Hunger" houseshow for the Somalia Relief Fund, Jay jokes that WWE would donate all $6000 of the gate money to the Red Cross,[[note]]in reality, it was held at the MSG Resort, with the check being for $100,000.[[/note]] [[FromBadToWorse with the wrestlers never getting paid]]. |
| 512 | --->'''V1''': ''But what of the wrestlers?! What happened to their 25 quid?!'' |
| 513 | * "Must be ''terrifying'' doing your job with [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon your boss]] sitting ''right there'' next to you, picking up on ''every little'' fuck up that you do and making you drill things until you get it right." |
| 514 | -->'''OOC''': Especially if your boss is shit at his job. |
| 515 | * V1's initial reaction to Rob Bartlett? "Who in the name of sweet Jesus is this cunt?" |
| 516 | * After a quick What Bar? with Macho Man's outfit where V1 calls him a Wasabi Kit Kat, [[TakeThat the boys take a quick detour to slag Japan's exclusive Kit Kat flavors.]] |
| 517 | * When discussing the RunningGag of Bobby Henan trying to sneak into Raw, OOC proposes that next week, they have him trying to sneak ''out''. |
| 518 | * When bringing up how [[Wrestling/ScottHall Razor Ramon]] attacked Owen Hart during a sitdown interview, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGv5kYegsQc Jay points out]] that Razor somehow got away with Pearl Harboring Owen ''[[WithCatlikeTread in front of him]]'', with Owen somehow ''[[FailedASpotCheck not reacting]]'' to seeing him rush up toward him before it happened. The conclusion Jay reaches? Much like a Commodore 64 game, [[BehindTheBlack if Razor isn't on screen, he doesn't exist.]] |
| 519 | -->'''V1''': So, you're telling me there wasn't enough memory in 1993 to see things offscreen. |
| 520 | ** "I have only, like, 35 seconds to move!" [[SkewedPriorities "Better continue my interview!"]] |
| 521 | * On next week's episode of Raw, WWE made the [[SarcasmMode smart decision]] to have '''the Undertaker and Paul Bearer''' [[QuestionableCasting promoting the Somalia Relief Fund]]. This is then one-upped with the revelation that the Undertaker also showed up at a Make-A-Wish event '''''in a hearse'''''. |
| 522 | * The "main event"[[note]]meaning the last two minutes of the episode; the ''actual'' main event was Undertaker vs. Damien Demento[[/note]] of the first ever Raw? An interview ''with Doink'', with Crush interrupting to confront him. |
| 523 | [[/folder]] |
| 524 | |
| 525 | [[folder:Episode 74: Royal Rumble 1993]] |
| 526 | * Jay regales OOC and V1 with the story of when Jim Ross sent Wrestling/{{Yokozuna}} and Wrestling/{{Vader}} to the Duke Weight Loss Clinic at Duke University, only for J.R. to find out one week later that Yoko and Vader had put on more weight because they were sneaking out at night to go eat chicken. This makes the lads imagine the two behemoths sneaking anywhere. |
| 527 | * When Giant Gonzales shows up and antagonizes the Undertaker during the Rumble, they each slowly approach each other: |
| 528 | -->'''V1''': The two of them are, you know, on opposite corners of the ring, and Gonzales takes ''one'' step forward. And then Taker takes ''one'' step forward. And then Giant takes ''one step forward''. ''He takes one step forward.'' And I'm like "This-" |
| 529 | -->'''Jay''': "Is going to take all day." |
| 530 | ** V1 starts to dread having to watch Wrestlemania IX following this... [[RememberedTooLate only to seemingly remember]] ''[[LateToTheRealization then and there]]'' [[AnachronicOrder that they already covered Wrestlemania IX]]. In response, all three lads cheer. |
| 531 | --->'''V1''': ''Fuck you, Gonzales!'' |
| 532 | [[/folder]] |
| 533 | |
| 534 | [[folder:Episode 75: WWF Smack 'Em Whack 'Em]] |
| 535 | * Right at the jump, we get a retrospective of Colluseum Home Video... where Jay openly admits the company it's a subsidiary of, Evart Enterprises, was a company known most for producing porn. |
| 536 | -->'''Jay''': Why wasn't "Sunny Side Up" a home video release? |
| 537 | * When discussing the differences between the Silver Vision version of the tape and the WWE Network version, it's called to attention that the Network version blares some royalty-free music over the footage instead of shelling out the money for the rights to the song used in the tape. [[ImmediateSelfContradiction And this is what immediately followed them praising the benefits of having access to old shows on the Network.]] |
| 538 | * When the "Don't Try This At Home" screen pops up and has the line "All WWF wrestling superstars are highly trained professional athletes", Jay points out that [[Wrestling/JohnNord The Berzerker]] is featured on this compilation, and V1 adds that Wrestling/{{Kamala}} is on it too, and he doesn't even know how to pin people, thus making the proclaimer's message fall flat. |
| 539 | * The framing device for the tape is that Lord Alfred is hanging out with the Bushwhackers as they do demolition work on a house, and throughout the video, Lord Alfred [[KickTheDog gets electrocuted, soaked with water,]] and is forced [[TakeThat to watch more Colluseum Home Videos]]. As such, after they conclude talking about the events of the tape, OOC openly admits he would've preferred it if [[RefugeInAudacity Lord Alfred died earlier in the tape.]] |
| 540 | ** When it's pointed out that the TV the Bushwhackers got has no VCR to be able to ''play'' said tapes, OOC suggests [[AnachronismStew they somehow have an SD Card full of them]]. |
| 541 | ** How does Lord Al close out the tape? We will never know, as the music the Network version blared over the end ''drowns Lord Alfred out''. |
| 542 | --->'''[[CrossesTheLineTwice Ghost Lord Alfred!V1]]''': (ghostly) ''Viiiiiiiince! Buy the fucking sooooooong!'' |
| 543 | * OOC regales the others with a discussion of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF51LzWyA34 the time he worked at Smyths,]] and in particular his experience with the wrestling toys. He would hide the John Cena toys on the top shelf [[NotWhatItLooksLike so that if he was actually asked, he would get one of the figures for said kid]]. |
| 544 | -->'''V1''': I love how you make up your mind for other children. It's amazing! "I'm doing a service!" |
| 545 | -->'''OOC''': (from a high platform; to a begging child) ''You'' don't deserve a John Cena! |
| 546 | -->'''V1''': (as OOC descends from on high as an angel) Only if you ask for John Cena, shall you recieve, mate. |
| 547 | ** V1 then asks if he ever tried pushing his favorite wrestlers using this position, [[RememberedTooLate which makes OOC ask why he never thought of that]]. |
| 548 | [[/folder]] |
| 549 | |
| 550 | [[folder:Episode 77: All Aboard the Lex Express]] |
| 551 | * The Youtube tags alone set the tone, as they are #[=BurnItOut=] and #[=ClaimTheInsurance=] |
| 552 | * Right from the outset, as the lads are doing the intro, [[{{Troll}} OOC pretends to end the video early.]] |
| 553 | -->'''Jay''': Merry Christmas. |
| 554 | -->'''V1''': Merry Christmas, all y'all- |
| 555 | -->'''OOC''': And to all a good night. (everyone laughs) |
| 556 | -->(all three start singing the outro song as footage of Alberto Del Rio running Santa over plays) |
| 557 | -->'''V1''': Grand, yeah... That will tide the marks for another week! |
| 558 | -->'''OOC''': ''Goddamn [=SOBs=]!'' |
| 559 | -->(cut to technical difficulties sign) |
| 560 | * Jay's recap of what the Lex Express was: |
| 561 | -->'''Jay:''' It's a "call to action" campaign, IE: a "Please cheer me!" Campaign! |
| 562 | * ''Seconds'' into the recap, Jay points out something pretty important in trying to get fans to cheer for Lex Luger: |
| 563 | -->'''Jay''': Hang on... [[SomethingWeForgot Lex had not turned Babyface yet on television!]] |
| 564 | * When covering Lex's interview with Captain Algae, Jay quietly bemoans "''[[SuckinessIsPainful Jesus Christ, this fucking show...]]''". |
| 565 | -->'''V1''': ''[[SarcasmMode Merry Christmas, people!]]'' |
| 566 | -->'''OOC''': Watch it with your family! |
| 567 | * After showing Lex plug and promote ICOPRO, we hard cut to Bret Hart shittalking it in an interview with Kayfabe Commentaries, openly stating none of the wrestlers liked it, and it was hard to get rid of[[note]]Bret even resorted to try and give it to the neighbors, ''who would then put it back on his porch''[[/note]]. |
| 568 | * When they recap their feelings on it, Jay and V1 naturally enjoyed the bollocks but hated its crushing length. OOC found its length to be one of the most offensive things about it...but it somehow ''reinforced'' his love of Lex Luger. |
| 569 | [[/folder]] |
| 570 | |
| 571 | [[folder:Episode 78: The Marine 6]] |
| 572 | * Right from the outset, Jay reveals that [[PromotedFanboy they actually were invited to the set by the producer himself]]. And no sooner did they arrive, Jay immediately asked what he could have for free in order to make Vince slightly poorer. |
| 573 | * They were then taken to where the climax of the film was being shot, and the producer arranged for Shawn Michaels to meet them. The only problem is that Shawn was in make up at the time, and as such looked severely battered and ragged. As such, OOC (not expecting this) [[NeverLiveItDown reluctantly admits]] to seeing Shawn exit out of his trailer, and saying- |
| 574 | -->'''OOC''': [[KickTheDog Jesus, Shawn, you've seen better days.]] |
| 575 | * At one point, OOC (jokingly) asked the producer [[StealthInsult if there was any "Oscar buzz"]] for the film. [[SarcasmBlind The producer admits to not having heard anything yet.]] Jay then pipes in that the producer said he wanted to make "the best ''Marine'' film", [[FromBadToWorse and that OOC immediately responded]] [[TakeThat "That wouldn't be hard."]] |
| 576 | -->'''Jay''': For ''fuck sake'', OOC, I can't take you anywhere! |
| 577 | * At the end of the film, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUHUWTs2qvE with the paramedics loading Miz's corpse into an ambulance]] before speeding off with the sirens on, [[KickTheDog V1 immediately tells them they don't need to rush]]. |
| 578 | -->'''V1''': I'm like "Lads. ''He's dead.''" (Jay and OOC begin laughing) "It doesn't matter! Take your time! Go and grab a breakfast roll!" |
| 579 | ** Jay then paints a hypothetical of [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E8BartTheDaredevil the ambulance crashing into a tree, causing the gurney the Miz is on to fall down a cliff]]. |
| 580 | [[/folder]] |
| 581 | |
| 582 | [[folder:Episode 81: Summerslam 1993]] |
| 583 | * In what was arguably a turning point in the history of OSW, during Shawn and Perfect's bout, upon noticing how often Vince had been saying it during the PPV, OOC asks for a "splicey" of every time Vince [[VerbalTic said "Unbelievable!"]] during the show. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFdprVJ5zd4&t=36s And sure enough-]] |
| 584 | -->'''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbelievable_(EMF_song) James Atkin]]''': ''The things... you say... Your purple prose just give you away... The things... You say... You're-'' |
| 585 | -->'''Vince [=McMahon=]''': [[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption Unbelievable!]] |
| 586 | ** This is then swiftly followed by OOC [[YouKeepUsingThatWord complaining about the use of the word]], given how ''nothing'' he has seen was truly unbelievable. |
| 587 | [[/folder]] |
| 588 | |
| 589 | [[folder:Episode 84: Survivor Series 1993]] |
| 590 | * Jay going to town on Ricky Morton's mullet: |
| 591 | -->'''Jay:''' You, sir, have not had sex. |
| 592 | * OOC wonders what was so funny about Mo riding a scooter during the Four Doinks vs. Team Bam Bam Bigelow match. |
| 593 | * Because of the boys [[GlobalIgnorance not recognizing the Betsy Ross flag]], they take Undertaker[[note]]who is part of Lex Luger's "All American" team for no reason[[/note]] to task [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer for wearing]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice the "Confederate" flag]]. |
| 594 | -->'''OOC''': I remember at the time, being... annoyed there wasn't four foreigners on the foreigner team, and the All Americans had the Undertaker, which made no fuckin' sense. Even though he did have an excuse on his promo, to... [[WhatTheHellHero show his Confederate flag]]. |
| 595 | -->[[{{Corpsing}} (cue all three boys laughing)]] |
| 596 | ** There's also the manner of how Undertaker reveals the flag on the Raw before the Survivor Series: [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything opening his jacket, like he's flashing the audience]]. |
| 597 | --->'''V1''': And then you have Racist Taker, comin' out... fuckin', flash the kids! |
| 598 | *** Jay also calls attention to the fact that Undertaker revealed the flag with his back to the rest of the All Americans, painting the picture that they had no idea what he was about to do. |
| 599 | ---->'''OOC''': "What's that?" |
| 600 | ---->'''Jay''': "What do you got under there?" |
| 601 | ---->'''V1''': (violent laughter) |
| 602 | ---->'''OOC''': "What's under there?" |
| 603 | ---->'''Jay''': [[TooDumbToLive "Maybe it's candy for all of us..."]] |
| 604 | [[/folder]] |
| 605 | |
| 606 | [[folder:Episode 85: Royal Rumble 1994]] |
| 607 | * After Owen [[RageBreakingPoint decides]] [[FaceHeelTurn to turn on Bret]], Jay cites the "[[{{Malaproper}} kicked his leg out of his leg]]" promo as the moment Owen decided "Aw, I love being a midcarder." Even better, OOC points out that [[DelayedReaction Owen realized mid-speak that he flubbed it]]. |
| 608 | ** While Bret is still on the mat, in pain from getting kicked in his already injured leg, [[KickTheDog Ray Rougeau decides now is the perfect time to interview him.]] |
| 609 | * V1 pointing out the logistical problem in wrestling against IRS (namely that he is constantly ''[[{{Squick}} drenched]]'' in sweat [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome due to wrestling in a suit and slacks]]) causes OOC to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFjJDYvOeLQ regal the boys]] with a story about his time working at Movie Magic... and dealing with "Smelly Porn Man". As if to set the scene, OOC opens on [[SarcasmMode a pleasant note]]: |
| 610 | -->'''OOC''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Have you ever... been in contact with somebody, passing them on the street, where you can taste them?]] |
| 611 | ** To elaborate: "Smelly Porn Man" was a frequent customer that OOC dealt with who, per his own description, [[ThePigPen "every bad smell you can think of, just funneled into this person"]]. And the smell was so bad, [[WiltingOdor they needed to]] ''[[WiltingOdor frequently]]'' [[WiltingOdor spray down the entire store with air freshener]].[[note]][[FromBadToWorse Because he liked to linger.]][[/note]] V1 openly compares it to an airplane cropdusting the fields, while Jay states [[CuttingTheKnot the quicker solution]] of just removing the roof. |
| 612 | ** What's worse is the fact he seemingly ''only'' frequented this Movie Magic because they had a deal where you could rent 7 films for a week for £10... and he would get seven softcore porn tapes, and ''[[DescentIntoAddiction promptly]]'' return them for seven more two days later. |
| 613 | --->'''V1''': [[StatingTheSimpleSolution So, he wouldn't even just watch one every day?]] |
| 614 | --->'''OOC''': No, no, he'd, just... ''[[UnusualEuphemism BLAM]]'' through them. |
| 615 | ** [[SarcasmMode Even better]], because "Smelly Porn Man" seemingly was the ''only'' customer to rent porn, and because of how frequent he'd cycle through the tapes, [[ForegoneConclusion OOC saw no point in cleaning the tapes once returned, opting to instead put them back on the shelf.]] |
| 616 | --->'''Jay''': [[KillItWithFire Just burn 'em. (OOC and V1 break) The old Movie Magic Furnace.]] |
| 617 | * When it comes time to cover the aftermath of Undertaker and Yokozuma's Casket Match, where [[StylisticSuck the Undertaker's "spirit" rises to the heavens]], it's pointed out the electricity noises that proceeded it [[CallBack were identical to the "TNA electrified cage" noises]]. |
| 618 | ** And on the topic of Undertaker's "spirit", [[ObligatoryJoke the obvious reference is made]]. |
| 619 | --->'''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Undertaker!Poochy]]''': [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E14TheItchyAndScratchyAndPoochieShow I have to go now. My planet needs me. ("spirit" slides up)]] |
| 620 | --->[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E14TheItchyAndScratchyAndPoochieShow (Note: Undertaker died on the way back to his home planet)]] |
| 621 | ** Meanwhile, [[SkewedPriorities Jay is more interested in wondering]] [[RiddleForTheAges where Undertaker's "spirit" went]] (which prompts ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E21ThePTADisbands another]]'' Simpsons reference). |
| 622 | --->'''Jay''': (as OOC and V1 break) What happens when he hits the roof? He's just gonna bob... like a balloon. |
| 623 | --->(cut to a vector of the Undertaker getting stuck in the rafters) |
| 624 | --->(cut to the child clinging to the high bar) |
| 625 | --->'''Child!Jay''': Mrs. Pommelhorst? I'd like to get down now. |
| 626 | *** OOC just hopes someone managed to open a hatch on the ceiling, as the Undertaker vector floats away from the Dunkin Donuts Center. |
| 627 | * When covering [[PutOnABus the various instances of Undertaker getting written off so Mark Calaway could take time off the road]], it soon becomes apparent [[TheCatCameBack Kane keeps being the one to "kill" him]]. |
| 628 | ** When Jay notes how at one point, Mark worked through a groin tear by teaming with Wrestling/TheBigShow, the others note the ''[[Wrestling/TripleH actual]]'' way to do it is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam_(2003) to wear bicycle shorts and screw Goldberg out of the title]]. |
| 629 | [[/folder]] |
| 630 | |
| 631 | [[folder:Episode 89: King of the Ring 1994]] |
| 632 | * After giving out near constantly on the First Ever RAW about Rob Bartlett's miserable "comedy", the tables turn on the lads as Rob Bartlett on his own show does an OSW impression, and floors them a surprisingly decent impression. |
| 633 | ** Immediately after the clip from Bartlett's show finishes, [[HypocriticalHumor OOC promptly throws Jay and V1 under the bus for making fun of him]]. |
| 634 | * V1 is about to give anthem singer Rickey Medlocke a positive review before he does the last note, which completely sours him on it. |
| 635 | -->'''V1''': He shouldn't be doing that! He's a rock singer, he looks like the guy in the painting in Film/GhostbustersII! |
| 636 | * The lads cannot help but contain their excitement over the special guest of the event who joins Macho Man Randy Savage and Gorilla Monsoon on commentary: American Football legend Art Donovan, who absolutely does ''not'' understand wrestling, nor does he understand that it's fake, and essentially acts like a dottering grandfather asking about it as though it was on TV. They spend a good portion of the review laughing like crazy. They also refer to him as "Art O'Donno" after Gorilla Monsoon's mispronunciation at the top of the show. |
| 637 | -->'''Jay''': Bammer with a Ventura torture rack. |
| 638 | -->'''[=OOC=]!Art''': [[WrongGenreSavvy What's he gonna do, throw him outta the ring?]] |
| 639 | -->'''Jay''': Razor sells. |
| 640 | -->'''[=OOC=]!Art''': [[TooDumbToLive Gorilla, is he dead?]] |
| 641 | -->'''Jay''': They ''both'' sell. |
| 642 | -->'''[=OOC=]!Art''': [[AndThenWhat They're both down, what happens now?]] |
| 643 | -->'''Jay''': [[StunnedSilence (deep inhale)]] ''[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Finish of the match!]]'' |
| 644 | ** Even better is the understated subplot going on throughout the PPV: While Gorilla [[TranquilFury pretty clearly quickly gave up on Art]], Macho [[PetTheDog was willing to humor the guy...]] ''[[RageBreakingPoint right]]'' [[RageBreakingPoint until Razor's match with Owen]], when Art points out [[TooDumbToLive Razor should get rid of his toothpick if he's about to wrestle]]. |
| 645 | --->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3r0Ab39080&lc=Ugx54kuKFWFE3q4Hgip4AaABAg Hanabi]]''': The real arc of this PPV isn't watching Owen win the KOTR, [[CreatorsApathy it's watching Randy slowly give up on Art.]] |
| 646 | * At two separate points, [[{{Blooper}} IRS botches a promo]], and turns it into "a horror show": |
| 647 | ** As Jay elloquintly describes, when IRS confronts Mabel backstage, he "fumbles his lines, and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere just bolts]]", while Mabel [[TalkingToThemself "is left cutting a promo towards a guy who's not there"]]. |
| 648 | --->'''IRS''': (to Mabel; borderline stilted) I hope Tatanka makes it to the finals, because this is the last time he'll- (seemingly remembers ''he's'' Mabel's opponent, not Tatanka) Have to... Face IRS in the ring, I'm taking him out too! I'll see you in the ring! (leaves) |
| 649 | ** The other time, meanwhile, gives us ''this'' bit of magic, which even ''OOC'' struggles reciting: |
| 650 | --->'''IRS''': (to Razor) [[BuffySpeak Because you're nothing but a fools' gold wearin' tax fool tax cheat idiot!]] |
| 651 | * As Jay points out, at one point during the show, while they are advertising the Superstar Hotline, [[ThrowItIn the announcer table's microphones are left on, meaning Macho Man is heard]] [[TakeThat telling Gorilla Monsoon that this show sucks.]] |
| 652 | -->'''Macho Man''': (barely audible) [-Gorilla, this is really bullshit. ''Bad.''-] |
| 653 | -->'''Art!V1''': ''[[VerbalTic Hey, Randy!]]'' |
| 654 | * While covering the "Bottom Line" segment Roddy Piper made for the PPV[[note]]he had done a series of them as the build to their match at this PPV[[/note]], the lads [[PretenderDiss proceed to give Roddy shit for his lackluster attempt at a "What Bar",]] wherein he jokingly compares Jerry Lawler to a King Size Hershey[[note]]which V1 [[TakeThat off-handedly calls disgusting]][[/note]]. Also, for some reason, [[EskimosArentReal Roddy doesn't think kings are real.]] |
| 655 | -->'''Jay''': [The Hershey's bar] is, like, brown and silver- that is ''not'' Jerry Lawler, that's a terrible "What Bar", sir. |
| 656 | -->'''V1''': [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu He sucks at this game.]] |
| 657 | ** As such, Jay decided give Jerry Lawler the ''proper'' "What Bar?" treatment with both barrels this time, with V1 asking both Twitter and Facebook. The second V1 rattles off the number of responses[[note]]over 470 Twitter responses, and ''over 770 Facebook responses''[[/note]], [[TakeThatAudience OOC openly asks what's wrong with their audience.]] |
| 658 | ** While covering the noteworthy responses, [[BlackAndWhiteMorality a stark divide is made extremely apparent.]] The Twitter responses were specifically concerning Lawler's blue and white ring attire[[note]]with such answers being a bag of salt and vinegar King chips, a bottle of Crown Royal, and a King Cone Cornetto[[/note]]. The ''Facebook'' responses? [[NeverLiveItDown Various ribs on the sexual assault allegations.]][[note]]Including a box of Viagra, a bottle of Four Seasons lube, a box of "[[UnfortunateImplications Finger Marie]]" cookies, and '''"Jimmy Fucking Savile"'''.[[/note]] |
| 659 | --->'''OOC''': (as Jay and V1 chuckle) [--Jesus Christ...--] ''Jesus...'' |
| 660 | --->'''V1''': And this brings an end to[[CueCardPause ...]] |
| 661 | --->'''Jay''': ''[[ScrewedByTheLawyers OSW!]]'' |
| 662 | * As the boys point out, it became apparent that Art Donovan [[OhCrap didn't remember who he had "picked" to win the tournament]]. Not only did Gorilla have to ''prompt'' Art that this was his "pick", but Art ''openly asks'' if Razor was the one who was walking out to the ring first. |
| 663 | -->'''Jay''': [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe (barely holds back a laugh)]] [[LetMeGetThisStraight You don't know who Razor is...]] |
| 664 | -->'''V1''': [[ViewersAreGoldfish You've only seen him wrestle twice tonight, mate.]] |
| 665 | ** And what makes things worse, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Art gives up on Razor]] ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck early]]'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck into the match]]. |

| 675 | * In discussing the build to Yokozuna's rematch with the Undertaker at the '94 Survivor Series, [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen in particular how the announcers slag him, and he's become terrified of the Undertaker]], V1 [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant makes an unfortunate choice of phrasing concerning his leitmotif]]: |
| 676 | -->'''V1''': And that ''on top'' of the build on Raw, where he's petrified of caskets, and even the word "casket", and the lights going off, [[FreudianSlip and Taker's dong...]] [[DoubleTake (loud mouth sputter)]] |
| 677 | -->'''Jay''': (begins to shriek in laughter) To be fair, I'm terrified of that, too. |
| 678 | -->(we cut to a Photoshopped image of Yokozuna, bug-eyed, looking at Undertaker standing with his cock out) |
| 679 | * In response to a commercial starting this year's Survivor Series is from "the director of Summerslam [1994]", V1 inquires: |
| 680 | -->'''V1''': (cut to image of 80s!Vince imagining holding an Emmy) Is this when Vince got it in his head, like, (Vince voice) "Goddamnit... I need that ''Emmy''." And then ''26 years later'' (cut to image of 2020s!Vince having the same fantasy), he's like (tired Vince voice) "Goddamnit... ''I need that Emmy''." |
| 681 | -->'''Jay''': (tired Vince voice) ''Marine 7''... |
| 682 | * After V1 gives [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBT7zb5gxOY&t=1861s the build]] to Doink and Jerry Lawler's fight at Survivor Series, Jay tries to move on to the IRS segment, only to stop and comment on how horrific the build was. |
| 683 | ** At one point, Doink stole Lawler's crown, and V1 reveals he returned it, but with a jewel missing. Jay is noticeably relieved upon hearing this, [[NotSoDire because he thought V1 was going to say Doink had crapped in the crown]]. "No, that's Randy Orton." |
| 684 | * After hearing Todd mention how "[the WWF doesn't] do pay-per-views all the time" [[HarsherInHindsight in 1994]], the lads take a brief moment to pine for a time when WWE doesn't have a PPV every four weeks... only for V1 to get infuriated over Jay mentioning a hypothetical Finlay main event, due to the fact that (as OOC mentions) he and Bobby Lashley practically main evented the entirety of 2007. |
| 685 | -->'''V1''': [[SarcasmMode The good old days.]] |
| 686 | -->(cut to a hypothetical Finlay/Lashley promo video) |
| 687 | -->'''[[Music/LimpBizkit Fred Durst]]''': ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome You think you're special... You do...]]'' |
| 688 | * In response to Shawn's outfit he wore the Raw before the Survivor Series[[note]]Jean jacket, shirtless, dark blue jean shorts, brown cowboy boots, complete with a mullet[[/note]], V1 cracks "He never gave a fuck, did he?" |
| 689 | * When V1 and Jay complement Todd Pettengill for being able to "sell" riding a horse during the pre-show, [[HypocriticalHumor OOC gives out over them using wrestling terminology.]] |
| 690 | -->'''OOC''': [[ARareSentence Why does everything have to be wrestling?]] |
| 691 | [[/folder]] |
| 692 | |
| 693 | [[folder:Episode 93: Survivor Series 1994]] |
| 694 | * While listing off the list of wrestlers for the "Bad Guys vs. Teamsters" bout, Jay brings up how this wound up being Wrestling/JimNeidhart's last PPV before getting released due to no-showing events, in a rather [[TakeThat disparaging]] way: |
| 695 | -->'''Jay''': It's the Bad Mang[[note]]Razor[[/note]], Kid Mang[[note]]1-2-3 Kid[[/note]], Dog Mang[[note]]British Bulldog[[/note]], Kish Mang[[note]]Rikishi[[/note]], and Barb Mang[[note]]Sione[[/note]], versus Lost-his-Smile Meng[[note]]Shawn Michaels[[/note]], Truck Meng[[note]]Diesel[[/note]], Music Meng[[note]]Jeff Jarret[[/note]], Slammy Meng[[note]]Owen Hart[[/note]], [[NeverLiveItDown and Klan Meng]][[note]]Jim Neidhart[[/note]]. |
| 696 | -->'''V1''': ''Klan Meng?!'' (laughs) |
| 697 | -->'''Jay''': (over footage of [[CallBack the indie match of Jim attacking Vergil while wearing Klan robes]]) Yeah, yeah, Jim "The Klanvil" Neidhart, here. |
| 698 | * When discussing Shawn's braided ponytail, V1 [[DamnedByFaintPraise mentions two positives it has]]: it fits Shawn's role as a heel, [[TakeThat and it isn't "the world's most terrible haircut", the mullet]]. |
| 699 | ** OOC even states it's "a far superior look than anything he's ever had". [[CallBack V1 then points out]] [[NeverLiveItDown how this isn't exactly high praise coming from him.]] |
| 700 | --->'''OOC''': I-I mean, I told him. (cut to picture of Shawn meeting OOC on the set of ''The Marine 6'') |
| 701 | * When discussing the Superstar Hotline, the boys call into question how it promises callers could talk to a wrestler ''live'', with OOC suggesting that either they pre-record the wrestlers in advance, or they have a guy pretending to be one of the wrestlers. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us1TBFyANP0&t=19m21s So,]] when the hypothetical situation is proposed of someone with a Texas accent picking up is introduced: |
| 702 | -->'''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Rich Texan!V1]]''': (in a Southern accent) I'm from Texas! |
| 703 | -->'''Bart Simpson!V1''': Uh, I'd like to speak to Bulldog. |
| 704 | -->'''Rich Texan!V1''': ... [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent (in a Southern accent) Bulldog here! What's the problem, little partner?]] |
| 705 | ** OOC, wondering why "Bulldog" would ask that, instead suggests a more accurate response: |
| 706 | --->'''Rich Texan!OOC''': [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent (barely attempts a Southern accent) Why are you callin' here, partner? Get off the phone!]] |
| 707 | ** Even better is the [[StylisticSuck "animation"]] for this segment: using clips from "The Simpsons" and taking advantage of MouthFlaps like it's an Abridged Series video. |
| 708 | * When covering the (sole) Colluseum Video home exclusive clip, Paul Bearer's promo for the main event, V1 does an impression of Bearer in order to recite the promo... only for Jay to break down in laughter the second he shrieks out "Chuck Norris!" |
| 709 | * Right as V1 is about to ask a question concerning Tatanka's heel turn, [[RageBreakingPoint Jay's patience finally gives out]]: |
| 710 | -->'''V1''': So, Tatanka turned heel, right? And- |
| 711 | -->'''Jay''': (slams a can down) '''[[KickTheDog Fuck Tatanka!]]''' Can we stop talking about Tatanka?! (OOC starts losing his shit) ''Eat a dick, Tatanka!'' |
| 712 | ** For the record, V1 wanted to know why Tatanka didn't change his music or gear if he was now part of the Million Dollar Corporation. OOC then proposes that he just wear IRS' outfit... before doubling back onto Jay's outburst. |
| 713 | --->'''OOC''': (desperately trying to not laugh) "Fuck Tatanka..." (voice starts giving out) "''Can we stop talking about...''" |
| 714 | * When it comes time to cover the episode of Raw that aired after Survivor Series, Jay [[FiveSecondForeshadowing openly wishes he could end the podcast early]], given the recap that ''opens'' that Raw: [[AllForNothing Bob Backlund lost the belt.]] [[EscalatingPunchline To Diesel.]] ''[[KickTheDog Three days later.]]'' '''''[[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe In eight seconds on a house show.]]''''' |
| 715 | [[/folder]] |
| 716 | |
| 717 | [[folder:Episode 95: Royal Rumble 1995]] |
| 718 | * Given how we're winding down the New Generation arc, Jay finally decides to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD2aFbTWoC0 justify]] him nicknaming 123 Kid "Little Bitch" by providing everyone (in particular OOC and V1) "the most damning evidence that [[LiteralMetaphor he is in fact a 'little bitch']]": ''In Your House 6''. In particular, the Crybaby Match between 123 Kid and Razor Ramon... [[TheDiaperChange where the loser had to wear a giant diaper]]. And, to ''really'' stick it to 123 Kid, Razor decided to ''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer bust out the talcum powder]]''.[[note]]Ted DeBiase had to storm the ring to prevent it from happening.[[/note]] |
| 719 | ** Not helping matters is V1's sudden remembrance of a moment in ''WWE 2K20'', where the player fights X-Pac '''[[OnceDoneNeverForgotten in the same match-type]]'''[[note]]as shown in the footage as X-Pac being the one to force the player in a diaper[[/note]]. |
| 720 | --->'''OOC''': But [Sean Waltman]'s already- he's- he ''always'' wears a nappie, [[DistinctionWithoutADifference what's the difference?]] |
| 721 | ** It gets ''worse'' when Jay explains that the match happened at all because Razor was calling 123 Kid a whiney baby... [[NotHelpingYourCase which 123 Kid didn't help disprove]] when he walked out to their match ''pushing a Razor Ramon teddy bear in a toy stroller''. Tellingly, it is at this point in the animation where V1 (calling him "a shoot bitch") beans him in the head with a wad of paper, [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland which causes 123 Kid to go into a bubble and begin sobbing]], [[StunnedSilence much to Razor's confusion]]. |
| 722 | --->'''OOC''': [[CassandraTruth (to Jay) You were right all along!]] |
| 723 | * Upon mentioning how easily Tatanka managed to break up 123 Kid's pin attempt on Bam Bam during the tag match, Jay states that the Kid's moves "have 10 hit points", [[SuddenVideoGameMoment causing the match to briefly become a Final Fantasy battle]]. Kid gets 30 points of damage on Bam Bam, [[KaizoTrap only for Bam Bam to immediately deliver 1000 via a sweeping kick to the head.]] [[OneHitKO "GAME OVER".]] |
| 724 | * After 123 Kid and Bob Holly win the tag match, V1 admits that [[PoesLaw he didn't believe Jay]] when he mentioned a few episodes prior that [[RealityIsUnrealistic they held the tag belts for a good while]]. |
| 725 | -->'''V1''': "''No way'' they put the ''World Tag Team Championships'' on these goofs." I was shocked watching this. |
| 726 | ** OOC was ''equally'' in disbelief, fully expecting the Quebecers to come back afterward[[note]]They were in WCW at this time, and wouldn't return until 1997,[[/note]], given how they had held the belts "[[ComicBookTime for fucking ten years of the 90s]]". |
| 727 | * Given how dire the roster was in 1995, two noteworthy things happen in the Rumble: The time between entrants was cut down to 60 seconds, [[CListFodder and the brunt of the rumble was filled with trash]]. |
| 728 | -->'''V1''': Jay, do you remember about two or three minutes ago, when I went over Numbers 21 to 24, and how shit the New Gen was? |
| 729 | ** "Lads, thats ''nine'' of the last 10 in your rumble, are... fucking ''geeks.'' They're nobody, go nowhere... ''geeks''." |
| 730 | * When Jay announced the fifth entrant was "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray, [[BileFascination V1 breaks down and officially declares him to be part of his Boys' Stable]]. Why? [[KickTheDog He was the first one eliminated, after just 40 seconds in the ring.]] |
| 731 | * V1 argues that Rick Martel's gimmick of being a male model means he would be ''perfect'' for the New Generation: |
| 732 | -->'''V1''': Bring him back, you can have [[CListFodder a model, you can have a binman, you can have a farmer, a guitarist,]] [[OddNameOut a Man... taur?]] |
| 733 | * The 12th entrant winds up being Timothy Well, [[{{Doppelganger}} the spitting image of Marty Jannetty]], who gets [[InsultToRocks "the biggest pop of his career"]] by entering the Rumble. Jay concludes it's because the crowd thought it was Marty, while V1 realizes it was more than likely because he entered [[SpotlightStealingSquad right as Owen was eliminated]], and the cameras hadn't caught that. |
| 734 | -->'''Jay''': ''You can't prove that!'' |
| 735 | -->'''OOC''': (bemused) [Timothy] watches this over and over again. |
| 736 | -->'''V1''': Timothy Well is, like, showing this to his kids, his grandkids, his ''great''-grandkids- |
| 737 | -->'''OOC''': ''Great''-grandkids?! |
| 738 | -->'''V1''': "See that time I was over, lads?!" |
| 739 | * When Mabel and King Kong Bundy square off in the ring, V1 mentions how sad it was, [[DamnedByFaintPraise as it was the second highlight of the rumble at that point.]] [[RunningGag Cue another "My Way" promo.]] |
| 740 | -->'''V1''': Two fat men starin' at each other. ...''yeah''. |
| 741 | -->'''Jay''': ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome You think you're special... You do...]]'' |
| 742 | ** What's worse is that Mabel and Bundy would have something of a rematch on Raw soon after this, with whoever goes over the top rope losing... and after 30 seconds, [[KickTheDog IRS and Tatanka rush into the ring and shove Mabel over the rope.]] |
| 743 | --->'''V1''': (genuinely frustrated) ''I watched that match, I was so annoyed!'' They can't even... [[InsultToRocks give us the payoff to the fat fellas!]] |
| 744 | * Mantaur (sans bull head) gets compared to "a human potato", and [[Series/{{Friends}} Ross' "Spud-nik" costume]]. |
| 745 | * OOC refuses to feel sympathy for Bob Backlund getting immediately eliminated, as he's "done". |
| 746 | -->'''Jay''': ''YOU JUST PUT THE BELT-'' (OOC and V1 shriek with laughter) You just put the belt on him at the Survivor Series! |
| 747 | -->'''OOC''': (cutting Jay off) Yeahyeah, well, sorry, he's done. |
| 748 | ** OOC doubles down by reminding Jay that Diesel's the "gravy train" now. [[{{Metaphorgotten}} "The gravy truck, I dunno."]] |
| 749 | --->'''Jay''': [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E1BartOfDarkness More like a poolmobile, with gravy in it.]] No sudden stops. |

| 751 | |
| 752 | [[folder:Episode 99: AEW Revolution]] |
| 753 | * Jay briefly calls Wrestling/{{MJF}} "Creator/MichaelJFox" before V1 can correct him. |
| 754 | * There's an extended bit where the lads give out about how much they don't care for Wrestling/ChrisJericho's band Fozzy whatsoever and complaining that they would not be given half the time they are if Jericho wasn't a major wrestling star...and then immediately admitting right after that "Judas" is actually a pretty good song. |
| 755 | ** They give credit to Jericho's tattoos now that they're a full sleeve...right up until they note ''both'' of the Fozzy tattoos, one on his arm and one on his hand, that he has. |
| 756 | --->'''OOC:''' He's obsessed! Fuckin' Fozzy, man. Get over it! |
| 757 | * While the boys can't prove it, V1 is ''convinced'' Wrestling/KennyOmega is a fan of the show due to his sudden flurry of references to Mo from Men on a Mission. They then challenge him to prove it by creating a spot or move called a "[[CallBack Fatal Deviation]]" |
| 758 | * The boys have a little fun at Wrestling/TheDarkOrder's numbering convention, figuring that the only way you could get someone who's named after a number over is if it corresponded to the number on a Chinese takeout menu. |
| 759 | -->'''Jay:''' Bah gawd it's 32! The chicken curry with chips! |
| 760 | * Jay expresses incredulity at Evil Uno's mask, figuring that he was a friend of [[Website/{{Botchamania}} Maffew's]], and he'd be right. |
| 761 | * V1 attempts a bit of trivia, with predictable results: |
| 762 | -->'''V1:''' Do you know who [Jungle Boy]'s the son of? |
| 763 | -->'''OOC:''' I do! |
| 764 | -->'''Jay:''' Jungle Man! |
| 765 | ** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POCnmos3MGk&lc=UgzE-0ZYpNxuqTot6rV4AaABAg Michael J Fox and Jungle Man are my favorite AEW wrestlers]]" |
| 766 | [[/folder]] |
| 767 | |
| 768 | [[folder:Episode 100: Heroes of Wrestling]] |
| 769 | * The entire Greg Valentine vs. George Steele segment is solid gold purely because the boys ''[[{{Corpsing}} can't stop laughing]]''. |
| 770 | -->'''V1''': ''[[GoneHorriblyWrong I don't know if this is better or worse than the show!]]'' |
| 771 | ** The extended segment of Jay [[MondegreenGag repeatedly fucking up Sherri's appropriated catchphrase]] to the point of [[KnowWhenToFoldEm flatly giving up]] and all of the lads having a good laugh over it. |
| 772 | --->'''Jay''': And [Sherri says] "I get what I want," as opposed to [[Wrestling/TammyLynnSytch "What Sunny gets Sunny wants."]] ... [[VerbalBackspace "What Sunny wants, Sunny gets."]] |
| 773 | ** After it's announced that Greg Valentine was ''48'' at the time of the PPV, all OOC can say in response is [[YoungerThanTheyLook "How is he so young?"]] |
| 774 | ** The lads marvel at Greg Valentine's promo, where Jay [[CueCardPause apparently misheard]] that he's declared himself the son of Jimmy Valentine ''[[HoYay and]]'' George "the Animal" Steele. |
| 775 | ** Seconds into the match, the lads are brought to wheezing laughter on just how quickly it took the match to become a complete spectacular of time wasting to the point that Jay is clearly struggling to keep it together throughout the run-down. |
| 776 | --->'''Jay''': Ding ding ding, immediate time wasting! Valentine bails- ([[OffTheRails the gang descends into laughter]]) |
| 777 | ** "(out of breath) [[CueCardPause And Sherri starts attacking. (pause) George-]] (laughter continues)" |
| 778 | --->'''Jay''': (breathless) Uh, so, there's a swerve at the start of the match... when it's least effective... |
| 779 | ** George bringing a foreign object into the fight brings about confusion from the boys, because they can't tell if it's a tape-covered shiv, a shoehorn, or a piece of ginger. |
| 780 | ** "And so Sherri hits Animal with a chair, [[DownerEnding (begins laughing again) and one-two-three, that's it!]]" |
| 781 | --->'''Jay''': Tough shit! |
| 782 | --->'''V1''': Tough shit, we already have your money! |
| 783 | * The entrance music for Too Cold Scorpio and Julio Fantastico's fight is openly compared [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons to Duffman's]]. |
| 784 | -->'''Barney''': [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E1TheCityOfNewYorkVsHomerSimpson (sweaty; worried) Oh no... Oh no... Not tonight... NOT TONIGHT!]] |
| 785 | -->'''Too Cold Scorpio!Duffman''': Are you ready to get ''Duffed''?! |
| 786 | -->[[ManipulativeEditing (cut to a bored crowd as the sounds of cheering are heard)]] |
| 787 | * "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E13SelmasChoice I am the lizard king!]]" |
| 788 | * When it comes time to properly discuss Jake Roberts' infamous "You wanna play 21?" promo, the obvious problem is pointed out: [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment He mentions blackjack twice.]] |
| 789 | -->'''OOC''': (as Jake Roberts) "You wanna play 21? I got 22. You wanna play Blackjack? I got two of those too." (normally) What's that even mean? |
| 790 | -->'''V1''': (near-laughter) ''Blackjack is 21!'' |
| 791 | * As Jay recounts, the reason why Wrestling/JimNeidhart refused to take the snake spot in the match was because (and this is ''[[SelfServingMemory Neidhart himself]]'' saying this) was that, supposedly, WWF were expressing an interest in bringing him back, and ''told him to not job''[[note]]he never made it past Memphis developmental[[/note]]. |
| 792 | -->'''V1''': (near laughter) ''WWE were calling, don't job!'' |
| 793 | ** And after OOC sarcastically mentions they were going to "push [him] to the moon", V1 decides to make a certain CallBack via a match pitch: |
| 794 | --->'''V1''': [[Wrestling/TheRock Rock.]] [[NeverLiveItDown Klanvil.]] (Jay and OOC crack up) ''[[RunningGag You think you're special...]]'' |
| 795 | --->'''Fred Durst''': [[RefugeInAudacity (over a mock-up promo video showing the Rock entering the ring as Neidhart enters in Klan getup)]] ''[[RefugeInAudacity You think you're special... You do...]]'' |
| 796 | [[/folder]] |
| 797 | |
| 798 | [[folder:Episode 101: Warrior's Debut on WCW Nitro]] |
| 799 | * The boys get a ton of mileage out of not only discussing WCW's instances of [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong "legally distinct" entrance tracks]], but ''also'' WWE's later redubbings of said tracks. |
| 800 | ** Similarly, you have V1's slowly mounting hatred over the nWo's theme song[[note]]"Wakka wo hey hey!"[[/note]] over the course of the episode. |
| 801 | * During the High Voltage vs. Disco Inferno bout, Jay points out how the commentators take a moment to call out Raw by claiming ''they'' are live, and will provide a real main event, and ''not'' a "one minute" bout. [[InsultBackfire The boys waste no time deconstructing this.]] |
| 802 | ** Without hesitation, [=V1=] brings up how ''last week'''s main event was between Goldberg and Meng, "and it went two minutes fifteen seconds, [[TakeThat and it was shit!]]" |
| 803 | -->'''OOC''': [[DamnedByFaintPraise That's a lot longer than ten seconds, that's like, what, 1000% more, 1500% more?]] |
| 804 | ** When discussing the "one minute main event" from the August 17th, 1998 episode of Raw between "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and "the Undertaker", [[InstantlyProvenWrong Jay promptly points out that JR explicitly said this was just a confrontation, not a match.]] |
| 805 | *** On that note, it would turn out that "the Undertaker" was actually Kane pretending to be the Undertaker[[note]]due to the Undertaker himself being "a little flabby"[[/note]], who then attacks Steve Austin with a Pearl Harbor; the lads immediately state this ''[[TooAwesomeToUse had]]'' to be a one-and-done. |
| 806 | --->'''Jay''': Kane looked ''awesome'' in [Undertaker's outfit], and it's like, "Right, you're ''never'' doing that again, mate." Looked way too well. |
| 807 | --->'''OOC''': I ''order'' you to get a belly. And he did! |
| 808 | ** When discussing how WWE replaced the use of "Highway to Hell" at the end with Undertaker's 1998 theme, because Jay took long to remember the replacement song, V1 takes a guess: |
| 809 | --->'''V1''': ''I'm on a freewaaaay to...'' |
| 810 | --->'''Jay''': ''-heaven!'' |
| 811 | ** "Anyway, moral of the story: [[SpoofAesop Schiavone, you're full of shit, mate.]]"[[note]]Although, Jay then states that Eric had definitely told him to say that, so they can't blame Schiavone here... [[KickTheDog but will anyway]].[[/note]] |
| 812 | * The Tungan Death Grip[[note]]which involves Meng grabbing someone by the chin and pulling them in[[/note]] is described by OOC as looking like [[HoYay Meng's bringing people in for a kiss]]. |
| 813 | -->'''OOC''': (over slo-mo footage of Meng, [[NotHelpingYourCase widemouthed,]] using the grip on a referee) Like, it's like, stroking their chin almost, you know- |
| 814 | -->'''V1''': (over OOC; as a giant heart is super imposed over Meng and the ref) Lovingly. |
| 815 | -->'''OOC''': "Come here, you lucky, lucky lady," you know? |
| 816 | ** After Jay mentions Meng would probably beat them up for claiming this, OOC retorts that they'll never meet him, so it's fine. |
| 817 | * Special mention is given to "timekeeper guy, who won't stop ringing the '''fucking bell'''". V1 states his belief that he's the same timekeeper guy in TNA who ''also'' would ring the bell nonstop, prompting him to then theorize TNA must've hired half of WCW's staff. |
| 818 | -->'''V1''': "Who's better to make our new wrestling TV show? ''The guys who killed the last one!''" |
| 819 | * When covering Wrestling/EddieGuerrero's "shoot" promo[[note]]'''V1''': [[TakeThat Sorry, sorry, I think you meant]] ''[[TakeThat "shit".]]''[[/note]] on Eric Bischoff, OOC immediately points out the pretty obvious tell that it's actually a WorkedShoot: The fact he kept mentioning [[CouldSayItBut "you know what"]] instead of actually swearing.[[note]]Which leads to a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome at the end of this segment, when they cut to a WWE promo Eddie made on Brock Lesnar where he [[BrickJoke defiantly tells him and everyone who doubts him to "shove it up your ASS!"]][[/note]] |
| 820 | -->'''V1''': (nasally) Eric Bischoff. You can shove it up your you know what! |
| 821 | -->'''Jay''': (as all three laugh) No, Eddie! Come on, mate! |
| 822 | ** When discussing Eddie's intro music, which is [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong clearly meant to be]] [[Music/WarBand "Low Rider"]], the lads [[EntertaininglyWrong instead]] refer to it as "the old Marmite song". |
| 823 | ** As Jay reveals, this promo actually ''[[GoneHorriblyWrong backfired]]'': due to Eddie rambling in his promo for too long, '''the crowd began chanting "Eddie Sucks".''' |
| 824 | ** At the end of his promo, Eddie tosses a cup of coffee on himself to "save Bischoff the time". [[SmallReferencePools Too bad no one realized the significance of this.]][[note]]Specifically, it's a reference to an actual ''backstage'' incident where Eric threw a cup off coffee near Eddie after he expressed a desire to leave.[[/note]] |
| 825 | --->'''V1''': I don't get the reference. |
| 826 | --->'''OOC''': Neither did I. |
| 827 | --->'''Jay''': Ha ''ha''! [[TakeThat Neither did anyone in the crowd!]] |
| 828 | *** To make things worse, OOC admits that, because he was looking away when Eddie dumped the coffee on himself, he assumed Eddie was being a "clumsy idiot". |
| 829 | ---->'''V1''': (over footage of Chris Jericho accentally dumping coffee on Kane) Maybe he was trying to set up a feud with Kane. |
| 830 | * When Wolfpac come out to shoot an in-ring promo, Jay states that Schiavone [[SelfDeprecation pulls a "Jay Hunter"]]: |
| 831 | -->'''Schiavone!Jay''': They mean what they say. They say what they mean. [[KnowWhenToFoldEm Yeah, whatever.]] |
| 832 | -->'''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Real!Schiavone]]''': Mean what they say, say what they mean, whatever cliche you want to use! |
| 833 | * When it comes time for the Ultimate Warrior's debut, and his infamous promo where he talks in riddles, Jay is ''beside himself'' to learn that [[PeripheryDemographic OOC and V1 unironically liked this promo.]] |
| 834 | -->'''OOC''': This is ''the best'' Ultimate Warrior promo I've ever heard. ({{Beat}}) [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, I- No, I'm not joking.]] |
| 835 | -->[...] |
| 836 | -->'''V1''': So... I am ''shocked''... at- of the words coming out of your mouth... [[WhamLine because]] ''[[WhamLine I thought I was gonna be the only one to say this!]]'' |
| 837 | -->'''OOC''': (over V1) YAY! |
| 838 | -->'''Jay''': (over OOC) ''Oh, fuck me!'' |
| 839 | ** While OOC and V1 liked the promo, they do acknowledge that the Ultimate Warrior lost the crowd pretty fast, calling attention to how [[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption someone snuck in a trombone]]: |
| 840 | --->'''Ultimate Warrior''': Somehow, you conviently, and even elioquiently, misplaced pieces of your history! |
| 841 | --->({{Beat}}) |
| 842 | --->([[TakeThat someone blows a farty trombone in the crowd]]) |
| 843 | ** After Jay reveals that the Ultimate Warrior was paid $250k per appearance for his five appearances in WCW, V1 begrudgingly admits "it doesn't make ''quite'' as much sense now"... |
| 844 | ** OOC does make a point, however, to call out the Ultimate Warrior for stating in his promo that he doesn't care about winning the belt in his crusade against Hogan... but at the same time, he states "he made one mistake in 18 minutes". |

| 847 | [[folder:Episode 102: Fall Brawl 1998]] |
| 848 | * When discussing Jericho's parody of Goldberg's entrance, V1 calls to attention the bit where Jericho wanders outside the building, only for the door to close shut behind him... [[{{Blooper}} execept the door clearly isn't locked.]] As such, as he frantically tries to "open" it, he has to ''hold it shut'' at the same time[[note]]with his boot, and his other hand, both ''painfully'' obvious[[/note]]. |
| 849 | * As OOC [[RememberedTooLate realizes (to his dismay)]], this is the ''[[HereWeGoAgain second]]'' time in OSW where they had to cover a Ernest Miller/Norman Smiley feud on a PPV[[note]]"Slamboree 2000" being the first[[/note]]. |
| 850 | -->'''OOC''': ''Oh my God...'' [[{{Angrish}} (struggles speaking)]] Like, and... They did it '''again'''. It was... What were... Dah, my- They- ''They thought it was that good'', they did it two years later?! |
| 851 | * During Raven and Saturn's fight, Raven does a [[HoYay sexy pin, stradding Saturn's thighs and grabbing both of his hands (interlocking the fingers)]], and Saturn escapes the pin by ''thrusting his hips''. V1, after a moment of realization, compares this to [[Film/TheTerminator the sex scene from Terminator 1]]. |
| 852 | * After ''one episode'', [[StatusQuoIsGod V1 has pulled a complete 180 on his stance on the Ultimate Warrior:]] |
| 853 | -->'''V1''': I... think I'm done with you now, mate. |
| 854 | -->'''OOC''': (as Jay laughs) It took you, what, a week? |
| 855 | ** When covering the promo Warrior cut three weeks after his debut, Jay calls to attention how he's clearly become aware that the audience has gotten sick of him, as he ''actually says'' "Patience, Warriors, patience is a virtue" during it. Or, as OOC translates: |
| 856 | --->'''OOC''': [He's] basically telling everyone to shut up and listen. |
| 857 | [[/folder]] |
| 858 | |
| 859 | [[folder:Episode 105: WCW Blade Runners Nitro]] |
| 860 | * Sting shows up in order to call out Bret Hart... even though Bret had turned face back in Episode 103 during the Nitro following Fall Brawl. As it happens, [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor he had turned heel again in between episodes.]] |
| 861 | -->'''V1''': The last three weeks, where they were turning him into a really popular babyface, all for fucking nothing, he's a heel again. |
| 862 | -->'''Jay''': Bahchah choah fwah fwah? |
| 863 | -->'''V1''': (defeated) Bahchah choah fwah fwah... yeah. |
| 864 | ** The week prior, there was an episode long storyline with Wolfpac fighting with the Black and White, at one point searching through the building for them, which is openly compared to ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap'': |
| 865 | --->'''Jay''': They need to tell the Wolfpac which way to go so they don't get lost, so they can actually find the nWo- |
| 866 | --->'''V1''': It's like ''Spinal Tap''. |
| 867 | --->'''Jay''': (over footage of Wolfpac exiting through a door [[BehindTheBlack clearly being held open by a guy on the floor]]) So they have a load of lads keeping the door open, [[SpecialEffectFailure and trying to hide from the camera.]] |
| 868 | ** When covering the spot where Sting uses a forklift on the nWo's limo, V1 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9vFmUywAgE brings up an incident from his days working at a warehouse]] where a guy, Terry, was given the okay to use the forklift despite clearly lying about his qualifications... [[EpicFail and then promptly destroyed the back wheels of a truck due to not lifting up his blades]]. |
| 869 | --->'''OOC''': Did anything get ruined? |
| 870 | --->'''V1''': [[AskAStupidQuestion I- the tires...]] |
| 871 | ** V1's impression of his boss has led to Youtube comments comparing him to [[CallBack the old man from "Fatal Deviation"]]. |
| 872 | --->'''Boss!V1''': (slightly nasally) WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?! |
| 873 | --->'''OOC''': [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent Where's he from?!]] |
| 874 | --->'''Jay''': Some kind of [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Penguin]] character... |
| 875 | * The Ultimate Warrior comes out in the middle of Sting's promo to cut his own, asking to fight alongside him, and brings up Sting's intention to "call out the anti-heroes of our time"... [[TooDumbToLive even though an anti-hero is still a hero, and Sting is calling out Hogan and Bret.]] |
| 876 | -->'''V1''': This is the problem when stupid people try to sound smart! |
| 877 | ** However, the only problem is that by this point, ''none'' of the audience is willing to put up with his crap, resoundly booing him as he speaks. Even ''before'' he speaks. And as V1 points out, one fan in particular was ''particularly'' vocal, and was picked up by the TV mics. |
| 878 | --->'''V1''': At 32 minutes, and 20 seconds, as Warrior is rambling on, "Being fatal to enter the battle unless you have the will to win," pause... "'''''SHUT THE FUCK UP!'''''" (kissing noise) Thank you, Chicago! |
| 879 | ** "You can take away my farty trombone, but you can't take my voice!" |
| 880 | ** After it's mentioned that a major problem with Warrior's promos in WCW is that he keeps going on for too long, the hypothetical is proposed of WCW cutting him off in the middle, and then sending in the Nitro Girls to send him away. |
| 881 | --->'''Jay''': ''[[EurekaMoment That's how he disappears!]]'' |
| 882 | --->'''OOC''': That's his new thing, instead of the smoke machines, the Nitro Girls, that's... |
| 883 | --->'''Jay''': [[VaudevilleHook And one of them has a little cane that can- yanks him...]] Or Bischoff has a cane backstage, that he threads through. |
| 884 | * The lads being confused about Hogan ranting about wood and men in his post-promo promo causes Jay to assume he's talking about his "turgid phallus"... before promptly daring [=YouTube=] to try and get that past their censors. |
| 885 | * [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext "Fans, wanna remind you of a couple of things... Nitro. Cum."]] |
| 886 | * Following the match between Fit Finlay and Alex Wright[[note]]specifically, when the British Bulldog shows up to try and fight Alex[[/note]], there's a brief detour in order to cover [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eG0FOmsj18 a infamous Nitro Backstage Blast]] where the British Bulldog [[IntoxicationEnsues appears to be on painkillers]]. As V1 states, "[[HarsherInHindsight it's sad,]] [[SoBadItsGood but it's the best type of sad]]". And as the footage plays out, we are treated to a series of graphics, such as [[DawsonCasting Bulldog's head on a kid's body]], [[Franchise/DragonBall Bulldog going Super Sayan]], and so on. |
| 887 | -->'''British Bulldog''': (rushed) Alex Wright, you think you can beat the British Bulldog? You did- Wrong! You are deu- a chance at me? (V1 cackles) Come on and... take a piece of me. |
| 888 | -->'''V1''': Does he have to puke, or something?! |
| 889 | ** Bulldog states that because he can do any style of wrestling[[note]]like "the American Style, the Mexican Style, the Strongman Style, and the German Style"[[/note]], [[InsaneTrollLogic that is why he is called "the British Bulldog".]] |
| 890 | ** V1 attempts to be serious for a moment, due to the fact that in hindsight it's clear Bulldog's painkiller problem was in full effect here, only for Jay to derail his point [[CueCardPause due to an abrupt pause]]: |
| 891 | --->'''V1''': The red flags were clearly there, you know, and unfortunately, it's a time in wrestling when no one paid attention to them... |
| 892 | --->'''Jay''': [[TakeThat The Backstage Blasts?]] |
| 893 | --->(everyone laughs) |
| 894 | --->'''V1''': Wouldn't be 'til 23 years later where three Irish twats would pay very close attention to them. |
| 895 | ** Alex Wright then shows up to talk smack... except [[BilingualBonus he chooses to speak in German instead of English]]. As he talks, we do a close up on Bulldog as dial-up sounds are dubbed in, representing his confusion. |
| 896 | --->'''British Bulldog''': Beinly speak to me! Speak in English[[note]]tea cup graphic[[/note]]! I don't speak German.[[note]]represented with "(picture of Bulldog) =/= (German flag)"[[/note]] |
| 897 | * Eventually, the lads wind up reaching the one of the most well-known segments, not only of this episode of Nitro, but arguably of WCW's entire history: [[JustHereForGodzilla Rick Stiner's promo getting interrupted]] [[Film/BrideOfChucky by Chucky]]. |
| 898 | ** Jay openly compares Chucky's nasally voice to Raven's, while OOC compares it [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer to Muttley]] (he was thinking of "[[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines the other guy]]"). V1 then cracks that he meant Franchise/ScoobyDoo. |
| 899 | ** It is pointed out how Rick Stiner was clearly ''legitimately angry'' over this promo during the episode. |
| 900 | --->'''V1''': Mean Gene is like "Oh, mate, I'm sorry", and [Rick]'s like "[-Fuckin' company...-]"... He's ''furious'' getting out of this ring. |
| 901 | * The clip used for the Ad-Break Questionarium? [[BrickJoke Chucky promoting NXT's Halloween Havoc 2021 episode.]] |
| 902 | [[/folder]] |
| 903 | |
| 904 | [[folder:Episode 108: Halloween Havoc 1998]] |
| 905 | * The boys take WCW to task for wasting time with the PPV by not only including extended promos and ''also'' the Backstage Blast, but ''also'' having the Nitro Girls open the show with an extended dance bit. [[SarcasmMode On a completely unrelated note,]] a couple minutes later, when discussing the Halloween Havoc set, [[HypocriticalHumor Jay includes a "Top 10 PPV Set" segment.]] |
| 906 | ** The inclusion of Bash at the Beach 1996, Jay says said set is forever linked to Hogan [[FaceHeelTurn joining the Outsiders to form the nWo]]. OOC in turn congratulates the set, as that moment was "one of the most overplayed moments in history". |
| 907 | --->'''Jay''': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWVgOmowohM That's a different top ten.]] |
| 908 | --->'''V1''': (extremely nasally) [[EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped NUM NEN (the others join in) NEH NEH NEH NEH]] |
| 909 | ** The faux-rain water feature of Royal Rumble 2003's set [[ItMakesSenseInContext leads to]] [[Wrestling/WrestleMania Mandy Rose slipping on the ramp]] being dubbed over with [[Wrestling/FredOttman the Shockmaster's "debut"]]. |
| 910 | --->'''British Bulldog''': (voiceover; as Mandy falls) ''[-Fell flat on his ass! Fell flat on his fuckin' ass!-]'' |
| 911 | ** As soon as Jay mentions not wanting to be among the bikers at Hog Wild, OOC fires back that they wouldn't want ''him'' either. |
| 912 | ** [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E22TheOttoShow "We salute you, our half-inflated dark lord!"]] |
| 913 | * In regards to Raven ''himself'' greenlighting the "Raven is secretly a trust fund baby" plotline, OOC concludes he wanted to [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon "kill his own creation"]][[note]]referring to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcoRZu6D9tE the promo Vince cut on Smackdown back in 2002]], prior to him bringing in the nWo to go after Ric Flair[[/note]]. |
| 914 | -->'''Jay''': (dubbing over Vince, who has a mullet Photoshopped on) I wanna ''kill my own creation!'' |
| 915 | -->'''V1''': (also dubbing over Vince) ''A lethal dose... of bollocks!'' |
| 916 | -->'''[[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption Raven]]'''[[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption : (turns to the camera) What a mark! (chuckles)]] |
| 917 | * After V1 mentions his copy of the PPV replaced Hogan's "Voodoo Child" intro with ''[[RunningGag yet another instance]]'' of "Wakka wo hey hey!", Jay reveals that in the actual PPV, Hogan got ''both'' of his intros[[note]]"Voodoo Child", ''then'' nWo theme[[/note]]. |
| 918 | * "[Hogan's] family tree's a ''shrub''." |
| 919 | * "What do you think of Horace Hogan being... ''the key'' to this show?" |
| 920 | -->'''Jay!George Lucas''': [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Horace Hogan is the key to Halloween Havoc.]] |
| 921 | * In a rare change of pace, Jay winds up having difficulties following along due to the fact that ''his'' copy of the PPV had a truncated recording, meaning he wound up missing two matches and a couple of segments. ...but at the same time, since the matches he missed were Wrath vs. Meng, and Alex Wright vs. Finley, [[PetTheDog V1 admits he lost two of the crappier matches.]] |
| 922 | ** When OOC mentions the copy Jay had sent him was ''longer'' than it claimed, Jay admits he added in some additional segments. Or, as Jay describes, "some of that was Bischoff, some of that was Jay". |
| 923 | * After OOC states he prefered Wrath winning instead of "[[TakeThat the little bitch Meng]]", [[BringIt he openly dares Meng to come after him]]. |
| 924 | -->'''V1''': (as OOC) "Fly over to Ireland! Come find me!" |
| 925 | * Billy Kidman "blowing his wad" trying to cut a promo is compared to [[TakeThat "putting a mic up front of Neo"]]. |
| 926 | -->'''V1''': (over footage of [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E9HomerBadman Homer's "Rock Bottom" interview]]) ''Ohhhh'', d'ya remember the editing that I had to do to get his one promo in- |
| 927 | -->'''OOC''': "Her sweet cans." |
| 928 | -->(cut to [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E9ElViajeMisteriosoDeNuestroJomer Homer fucking with the position of the Sun]]) |
| 929 | -->'''V1''': Y-You see the Sun jumpin' across the sky... (all three crack up) |
| 930 | [[/folder]] |
| 931 | |
| 932 | [[folder:Episode 126: In Your House 4]] |
| 933 | * The Boy Stable for this episode [[ExactWords is certainly one for the ages]]: Of the five boys in it[[note]]Angélico from Wrestling/LuchaUnderground, [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor Joey Ryan]], [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe Ken Shamrock, "NWO Wolfpac Sting (sans goatee)",]] and Enzo Amore[[/note]], [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible one is technically not boy-elligible, one is]] '''[[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible definitively]]''' [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible not boy-elligible, and one has sexual assault allegations.]] |
| 934 | -->'''V1''': Honestly, mate... uh... probably get [Joey] out of your stable, uh... [[CrossesTheLineTwice the rest of your boys aren’t safe anymore-]] [[ActuallyPrettyFunny (everyone starts cackling)]] |
| 935 | ** When OOC argues that Ken Shamrock is too well-known to be boy-elligible, Jay counters that he never changed in his entire run, [[TooDumbToLive and he kept getting outsmarted in the dumbest ways.]] One specific example Jay cites is that that when wrestling the Rock, when he found himself kneeling before him as he grabbed a chair, [[WrongGenreSavvy Ken proceeded to egg him on, thinking the Rock wasn't actually gonna try anything.]] [[ForegoneConclusion He was wrong.]] |
| 936 | ** When it comes time to the reveal of ''Sting'', everyone starts accusing this stable of taking the piss. |
| 937 | --->'''Jay''': I want Hulk Hogan in my stable. |
| 938 | ** In talking about how he was fired from WWE at basically the first opportunity due to ''everyone'' backstage hating him, Jay reveals that Enzo had actually ''bought a ticket'' to that year's Survivor Series, and got ''thrown out'' once he tried doing his schtick while in the crowd. "It's ''so sad.''" |
| 939 | *** After Jay reveals he did a rap song making fun of shitty wrestling fans, [[FanHater OOC promptly begins talking highly of it.]] |
| 940 | ** And to make it clear it's not hyperbole, when promoting [[ShockingSwerve MxM's guest appearance on the episode,]] Mansoor [[https://www.facebook.com/100063838964192/posts/809487274522564/?paipv=0&eav=AfYenKOW_ge18XDJtnxnurwO5mnf93vc3bkWHKBoudcXMpZyuCYphu9OL_cko0XgZCA&_rdr= said the following]] on Twitter: |
| 941 | --->'''Mansoor''': Watch now for our guest appearance [[TakeThat and also the worst boy stable of all time]]! |
| 942 | * When it's mentioned how Maffew and "Wrestling Bios"'s Ryan helped the boys out in getting the footage for this episode, [[SitcomArchNemesis OOC is the only one who doesn't thank Maffew.]] |
| 943 | * Upon mentioning he unknowingly watched a ''compliation tape'' of various matches of In Your House 4 and 5 rather than the full [=PPV=], Jay mentions being furious... prompting V1 to accuse him of using that anger to force the Steves into picking up his slack. |
| 944 | -->'''V1''': Midnight last night, my phone starts popping: "Steve! I need you to hunt down In Your House 4, and watch these matches!" |
| 945 | -->'''Jay''': So I can give out about them. |
| 946 | ** And how does OOC view this debacle? |
| 947 | --->'''OOC''': [[LetMeGetThisStraight So...]] the punishment... for ''you'' watching matches you didn't have to watch, is for ''me'' have to listen to you talking about these matches. |
| 948 | --->'''Jay''': You got the easy option- |
| 949 | --->'''OOC''': ''[[NoJustNoReaction No, I did not.]]'' |
| 950 | * ''Literal seconds'' into the [=PPV=] itself, the mood for the episode is established: |
| 951 | -->'''OOC''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oooh God, here we go...]] |
| 952 | -->'''V1''': (mad cackle) ''[[SarcasmMode Merrrrrrrrrry Christmas!]]'' Wh-what a Christmas we had, the fuckin' ''whip'' being cracked! |
| 953 | -->'''OOC''': I know! |
| 954 | -->'''V1''': [[BadBoss (as Jay)]] ''"You'll '''watch''' that pre-show!"'' |
| 955 | -->'''OOC''': Christmas Eve! |
| 956 | -->'''V1''': (as Jay) ''"Steve, you'll watch 'In Your House 4: The Great White North!'"'' |
| 957 | ** "Yeah, and fuckin' Santa's trying to come down the chimney, and we're watching ''shit''." |
| 958 | --->'''Jay''': Tell him... to wack on "In Your House 4", and write some notes. |
| 959 | ** "Lads, are you telling me that you don't want to watch ''Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Fatu''?! Or you don't want to watch ''Yokozuna vs. Mabel''?!" |
| 960 | * As OOC expresses annoyance that this is before [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer "Make a Wish" Fatu]][[note]]He meant "Make a ''Difference''" Fatu, but the Lads just lean into it.[[/note]], Jay asks if he was wearing a beanie, to which V1 states he hadn't. [[WastefulWishing Apparently, that's what Fatu had wished for.]] |
| 961 | * OOC takes a moment [[StealthInsult to praise]] how V1 did the play-by-play for Hunter Hearst Helmsley's match with Fatu, [[SarcasmMode calling it one of his best]]: |
| 962 | -->'''OOC''': (as V1) "Walked out... blinked... blinked... blinked... blinked... blinked..." |
| 963 | -->'''Jay''': (talking over OOC; as V1) "Left foot..." |
| 964 | * "Kid Mang, Bad Mang, versus the Bang Bang Mang." |
| 965 | -->'''Jay''': Or, as Renee Young calls them, [[{{Mondegreen}} the "Gang Bang".]] [[{{Corpsing}} (everyone breaks)]] |
| 966 | -->'''V1''': [[RefugeInAudacity Joey Ryan just waiting around the corner, rubbing his hands...]] |
| 967 | * Concerning Goldust's debut vignette, and how it was filmed with him whispering while in front of green-screen footage of "the Looney Tunes studio" behind him, Jay calls attention to the fact that the foley guy [[SoundDefect accidentally edited in the noises of the traffic in front of the studio too loud]]. As such, Jay decides to recreate the end result: |
| 968 | -->'''OOC''': (as Goldust) [[Creator/JamesDean Dean.]] [[Creator/HumphreyBogart Bogart.]] Kathy. There's a di- |
| 969 | -->'''Jay''': [[LoudnessWar (begins loudly making traffic noises)]] |
| 970 | -->'''OOC''': (as Goldust; over Jay) There's a difference between these stars, and the legend- |
| 971 | -->'''V1''': (begins making loud car horn noises) |
| 972 | -->'''Jay''': (as a driver) ''GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY!'' |
| 973 | * As the Lads point out, at one point during Goldust and Marty Jennety's match, [[KickTheDog the commentary team openly shoot on Marty.]] |
| 974 | -->'''Jay''': (as JR) Jenetty's no slouch! His personal demons have set him back! |
| 975 | ** That's not the only questionable comment from commentary that gets spotlighted: |
| 976 | --->'''Jay''': Lawler says "Hey, [Goldust]'s like ''Film/PulpFiction''!" [[FridgeLogic ...as in, he's a gimp?]][[note]]The ''actual'' punchline? [[{{Feghoot}} He's gonna beat Marty to a pulp.]][[/note]] |
| 977 | * "Next up is King Mabel versus Yokozuna! ''The Mega-Meaty explodes!''" |
