0:00 [Music] all right who here was a WWE Fan I wanted to be but I couldn't watch that my mom thought it was like poison from my brain but like you still it somehow still trickled down into your childhood right I was a WWF oh yeah WWF all the way of domination baby there you go it was around like Undertaker is era Yokozuna Yuna my favorite was um Andre giant okay Gold Dust was so no that's it's crazy that we grew up in that era with Gold Dust because like you were so afraid of being gay back then as a kid but then like gold dust was gay as hell and like he was cool for some reason dude he was cool right he was cool he's so sexy dude he us like lick dudes that was his finishing move he
0:51 would spit on you or something and you'd be like yeah I yeah I had the gain I had the gain dude raw dude but I thought the weakest player was Million man he was probably the weakest guy yeah yeahi and I would always play bamb bam Bigalow or cuz I just thought he was weird fav play dude Ric Flair is so cool yeah Ric Flair is the man dude that was the era too yeah but then I think the Undertaker era that was the last for me after that my cousin ruin Undertaker and Kane like all that stuff going on yeah cuz I think my cousin was like oh you know that stuff is fake right and then he's like you should get into real fighting I'm like what like karate and then Bruce Lee and then he's like that's real fighting and then so I started watching Bruce Lee stuff well I mean it's pretty good but it's still fake they're both but what what did you guys think that it was real
1:42 I thought it was a th% real I thought it was so real I would have run through a wall for those guys dude when I was like 10 years old th% I thought bro when like my favorite when my favorite guy would be getting beat up like you know sometimes they would like attack you after a match yeah and like they'd be like five on one I'd be like how come no one's doing anything I get pissed I was like he's out there getting his ass kicked no one's helping him out I was like this is bull and then and then they cut to Vince McMahon and I'm like and his boss sucks yeah yeah this boss is pretty mean I think and then the tag team you know when they always did the tag team one I didn't really get the rules because sometimes they would two on one yeah they would cheat and then I'm like wait a minute but the other guy ain't doing nothing that's because they they like tripped the ref up or something the ref's knocked out cold or or tag te is distracting ref while the other guys punching him in the
2:32 balls you know the ref getting knocked out so funny the best dude it it was the the drama was so good when when when a ref gets knocked down and then they have to bring another ref from the back to finish the match cuz he's too incapacitated to continue no the ref gets knocked out and then Shawn Michaels comes out in a ref and it's like for some reason we just accept that so good yeah it's not regulation Shawn Michael was so cool man he was the best dude he was the though in the beginning like in the Hogan era and all that there was nothing but drama but like you mean like drama on stage or drama off on stage no no like as a viewer like cuz okay I'm just remembering as a kid and all I remember are the fights but you remember like Undertaker fought himself one time what the ████ yeah that was the era that I watched like back before we knew that Vince McMahon owned the company and he
3:23 was just an announcer yeah like that's what I watched they they recently dropped that Vince McMahon documentary um where talking about like the type of drama was that was on back then like the Hogan era and all that stuff is totally different from the drama during like Triple H and Stephanie McMahon or getting married types that's totally different cuz back then they would they would use things like um oh like we have like wartime issues right now with like Syria so they would have like a Syrian wrestler come out and then the story between like the the American patriotism of Hulk Hogan versus like the enemy boo Syria yeah like that would be kind of ironic yeah they would they would capitalize on back then I remember when I was a kid they did that with 9/11 right after 9/11 happened they had this guy and I won't forget his name was like Muhammad Hassan or something and like he was the guy that he I don't know what sect he was from whatever the ████ but
4:14 he was like beating up all the American guys and they were just doing that whole storyline right after 911 and I was like I can't believe that this is happening in my wrestling matches also like let's go America yeah get him get him you know what my first like red pill moment was though though for when I started questioning WWF is um when Yokozuna came into the scene and I was like he's not Japanese oh really he's not Japanese he's like Samoan or something that makes more sense and then I was like hold on this is fake that's that was my little kid bre yeah yeah watching H hoken picked up Yokozuna or one of those guys picked up Yokozuna and body sland them I was like this is ████ crazy that was but you know what's funny though fast forward I do some research on the thing and he's like a legit sumo wrestler he's been to Japan he's
5:05 wrestled in Japan so he's actually legit but I just thought it was Shark would probably say no he's not well this is all like super relevant because WWE's uh raw just debuted for live TV on Netflix and Netflix spent $5 billion for the live TV rights of WWE so we get to watch them all again well here's the thing outside of us they get like Smackdown and stuff like that but only for us for some reason were restricted only to Raw why so they just debuted at the intu Dome like last week or something like that uh and they brought back like the rock John Cena they they brought all like the the biggest Heavy Hitters of like today's generation too um to get ready for Wrestlemania type stuff and it's like they had a three-hour debut on Netflix and it was like hugely
5:55 successful wow $5 billion wow that's ████ crazy did you guys play wrestling like every ████ day in elementary school absolutely I still can do the people's elbow I just realize it doesn't like work for real though let see you just got to pretend there's the ropes there yeah but the thing is you hurt yourself more than you hurt the friend you you have to sell it if you're almost 40 years old yeah we like to suplex our friend's little brother on his bed dude DDT we used to DDT in the pillows all time DS are crazy DTS are actually scary and probably shouldn't do it is that where you like pick up your friend he's upside down that's when you put your friend's head here and you ████ go back ████ and you slam and you fall backwards right but you don't know how they tuck you're just a kid so you're just like yeah take the DDT I was wondered about like twisting the arm and then stomping down really yeah love that ████ man like this I also like the
6:45 grabbing by the head thing and then the oh yeah like they're like making the the sound with their foot it's so funny what's the one where you grab the guy's head and you like first so you get keeled over gra dude The Rock The Rock bottom no when he used to take the stunner he used to like try to make stone cold laugh oh he rolls backwards how much of a dead fish he get gets about it whatever I didn't even know about that until I I saw it on like Stone Cold's podcast or whatever I saw a clip who's that guy uh was it Razer Ramone Razor's great a toothpick yeah yeah yeah with the greasy hair and I remember like he keeps it in his mouth the whole time and then one time I think like something happened where like the toothpick fell out of his mouth it was like the biggest moment it fell out dude watching the ladder match between Shawn Michaels and razor rone was the Zenith of wrestling for me that was sick
7:36 it was sick that was a crazy match not freaking mankind when he like was bleeding all over the place and stuff I was in my era have you guys seen that clip where the dude fights with his own hand that's a snake yeah yeah is that is that the Japanese one I like the one where the the they're fighting an invisible guy and they're all getting the rasket dude the wrestling place you took us to that was was so fun man that like a Ukrainian Church or something right yeah the gcw is a different that league is dope but that felt like some hardcore Carney ████ they're like right in between ECW and like ww getting us ████ forehead Staples yeah ████ I feel like we all should have been in like overalls with no T-shirt and like a ████ piece of wheat coming out of our yeah there's some really talented
8:27 people in that one but I loved it it was so my favorite thing in wrestling still to this day is how much like when they're setting up for a big move and how much the the guy that's Dace will help the guy as he set and he'll like get up on the Rope himself it takes so long it takes so ████ meanwhile they're like punching him with the stomach to make it look like he's still ████ up I also love too when like Undertaker was putting them in the tombstone and the guy just grabs his legs and it's like why would he grab his legs he's like agreeing to take it it's like putting a kid in a car seat it's like takes so ████ long so great so good dud it's so fun man we should all go to one I'm so down well we we did go to the other one but I would love to go to WWE we should go Summer Slam of our childhood that I
9:19 think we should all do yeah monster trucks monster truck with Bigfoot uh dude I just want to yell Bigfoot the whole time Y and too bad uh Circus the barnab and Bailey's gone we don't they don't do those no more right go like start something they still do them but it wouldn't be the B Bailey brand oh we should go to SeaWorld oo so we should do careful boys do nostalgic ████ he WrestleMania would be a childhood dream that would be sick I'm so down for but like also be in it careful boys get ████ up by wrestlers I'd be down all right we'll do WrestleMania I'm down WrestleMania would be honestly I would be very happy happying what's wrestling how's that different is that like going to like the the UFC of all events Super Bowl biggest event of the Year dude he doesn't know what
10:09 WrestleMania I had to peek into looking those things I wish I knew it's it's the biggest show of the Year I wish I knew that you live under a ████ rock leads to this it's so it's so big it's a three night thing oh they can't fit it all in one night the problem is I don't know anybody anymore like I only know but that's the thing like people like the Rock and Ronda Rousy wait she's still in it Stone Cold's coming back for sure yeah with like 18 leg braces oh they're probably going to take it easy too huh not like how it used to be I don't know though but like you got to think about it like this like they especially what is it TKO Holdings is that what it's called yeah um that that they did that $21 billion merger that so now like UFC and WWE are under the same thing so like I feel like they're bringing the best uh of Both Worlds in terms of understanding Their audience and what people are looking for and the demographic and like figuring out yeah how to make it uh digestible for even
11:00 today's era like knowing we all know that it's fake but what do we love about it why do we still want story it's the story it's the people like they made made a big PR moment of moli Ken showing up to the return of WWE Raw and that was like a huge thing for some reason what does he have to do with anything I don't know but if I'm in the audience and mccoi kogan happens to be there I would also be like yeah for no reason cuz that's just the fire of the event true yeah yeah do you remember being a kid and like seeing the um the first time you like saw the the female wrestlers like China oh yeah dude China was lit like Sable and like all them I just remember thinking like these got to be the hottest women all on on in the world who was that one ran was it Cindy Lopper or something like there was a I swear I swear the girls got to have fun girl I'm not ████ around there was like a particular look up cdy Lopper taking the center yeah yeah getting 3D
11:52 by the doubly boys Cindy loer association with wrestling helped her career take off in the'80s she was in the WWF They promoted ler by playing her music at events and having her appear in the ring with wrestlers and then she ended up having a feud with Captain Lou Albano or whatever and loer and wrestling Legend Captain Lou engaged in a manufactured Feud with playing Lo's father Cindy loer is kind of funny now dude it was she was a celebrity guest at WrestleMania how did you remember that cuz it was the documentary the Recently I was watching and I was like dude this is crazy did they talk about how Vince McMahon ████ on that girl's head to that part oh they didn't talk about the most interesting part I didn't get to that episode yet that's all but maybe maybe they do get there because it's one of those things that opens up you know where it's like it feels all raw and stuff where he like sits down in front of the mic and he's just like putting his thing on he's like they should open
12:42 with that are we keeping it real it's like one of those start yeah oh cool yeah yeah and they talk about like uh they go into cuz you know is that where that is that where that Meme comes from where he's like crying and he's going like let's cut the tape oh I love that Meme May and he looks Wild dude like his his like his I guess his eyebrows and his mustache is like dark jet black yeah he's a mustache yeah you're like dude this is not Vince McMan he doesn't look the same why is it cuz they asked him if he ever ████ on a girl's face nah he just looks like a old timey like bad guy in this documentary he just looks wild my favorite meme is the one where there's like I think it's like six different frames where the girl's like dancing on the table and he's going best honestly it's like I really am sad that I missed that era of wrestling but I'm so glad I I got to
13:34 learn about it through the memes yeah cuz so the memes and even the clips of like you know Vince McMahon being in the hospital and then stone cold is dressed as a nurse oh my god dude I saw that so good it's so incredible so genuinely funny to me that was the same era that like mankind would have like the sock you remember when he I remember I remember seeing that that's when he was mck Foley dude yeah mck Foley is that The Rock era or like right right before was like right before yeah I was I think we were we got too old the clown we had D yeah that was more my rock era was like when Smackdown became really really big that was like my era that was like when I started watching Remember ████ the tugboat and uh the ████ steam what Steamboat riy Steamboat yeah will the tugboat I love the Ultimate Warrior Ultimate Warrior was so sick yeah you guys are old Jericho I
14:24 didn't like that I like the heart brothers that was I like the bushwack boys yeah bushwack those guys were the best dude and then the Legion of Doom those guys with the spiky P oh yeah I had a sting t-shirt from WCW that's funny yeah love razor raone rip yeah are you passed rip to a bunch of them I know a bunch of them they all di when they're like 50 dude I know dude the DFT that's crazy I totally forgot Captain Lou Albano was from the 80s and cuz he he went on to be Mario for the the Super Mario uh kids show really oh yeah he played Mario Mario for the you know when Super Mario became a cartoon yeah he played the live Mario in the intros you know the little bumpers where they would be like real guys that's wild yeah I didn't know that that's cool you don't like when John Watch the documentary because then like it talks about like
15:14 Hulk Mania era too but then behind the scenes of like why they pushed Hulk so hard too it's like wa this is crazy but before that wasn't it Andre Andre the Giant yeah yeah but then he passed so no but they had Hulk fight Andre to for the passing of cuz no one could beat Andre now he was like the man so they so they had to orchestrate that particular moment because they wanted to transition it into hul because he was so cable did they know that Andre was going to die and weedos weed things what exactly was so cable about Hulk Hogan really though all American man blond yeah just the All-American thing I think he would pop like crazy apparently at the like when he used to wrestle like everywhere he went cuz he was so ████ big he was just that the audience was on his side he was it like charismatic like was it like I think so super when he would
16:05 Point At You Would you beat him up and you couldn't you couldn't drop him and he'd point at you cuz like I feel like everyone was just born into the magic already like by the time I discovered him like everyone just universally loved them watch the dog it's fun he was a household name when I was like 3 years old he was everywhere he was already on the cial box and everything they like he he was like probably in like in The Simpsons he was he like did like features in like Suburban Commando yeah there's a cameo in one of the Rockies too yeah absolutely in Rocky 3 Surf Ninjas I still think Andre the was the best hands down Hulk Hogan was a manufactured man but Andre the Giant was the man Andre Giant was was sick but he really didn't move fast at all I think I think Yokozuna could beat him that's Samo guy Yoko and it's remember his sitting move he would land
16:55 on him and on yeah yeah
