"Work with match as good as anybody. But it just didn't have the interest of the guy that was making the decisions. Well, next up, mass number two, we got Miguel Perez Jesus Castillo and Jose Estrada junior of the Lois baruch was taking on the disciples of apocalypse chain skull and 8 ball, he goes 7 minutes and 57 seconds. Mercifully, it was over. The match was not good, but the finish was, according to Dave Meltzer, it gets a quarter of a star. We said that Vince lost interest in the light heavyweight. I'll lost interest in gang wars. It's time to put a bullet in these. I'm with you. I'll sign off on that one too. Enough is enough. I can't stand this anymore. Next up, we've got butterbean and Mark mero in what Meltzer would call an almost hilarious and the sense of all the political red tape involved in the billing of this match. It couldn't be called a boxing match because boxing is regulated and theoretically it can't be worked. It couldn't be called a boxing exhibition because butterbean had a fight if he could call it that the previous night in athletics in Atlantic City and the athletic commissions wouldn't allow anyone to take two boxing matches that close together. So instead they call it a tough man contest. But the problem is they're using these giant gloves instead of 12 ounce gloves. We use a 16s. Yeah, maybe an 18 Meltzer even freestyles. The point is, though, it's a four round tough man contest and it ends with a low blow in round four, ten seconds in. So butter bean gets the win by DQ. This is just not good. Is this Rousseau's idea? Is this something Vince was for? I don't remember his idea Conrad. It didn't work. Yeah. It didn't work. As simple as that, hell, I don't know whose idea it was. Maybe we can there's an examiner in a shit all over him. That might be something we're interested in today. I don't know. I'm for it. Who would you like to shit on? Let's just pick a name out of a hat and we'll take turns. Oh man. Have you ever seen this boxing gimmick work in wrestling? I'm not trying to sound like a fucking know at all, but like anytime we're gonna work boxing, it feels like it always comes off hokey. The only time that I can remember anything worth really investing your time and in the finals with Mark Gunn and butterbean. But that was real. It was real. But I mean, as far as they worked boxing match in wrestling, that's kind of, eh, is it not? Yeah, yeah. But we did a lot of. I can't disagree. Meltzer felt the same as we did. He gave this a dud and said, yeah, there's got to be a method to the madness here somewhere. Next up. We're still trying to find out all these years later. And we still undiscoverable. It is. So speaking of undiscoverable, what the hell were we thinking? Goldust is going to come out with Luna and they're going to do an interview where goldust is going to read from Dr. Seuss's green eggs and ham. Yep. Well, that's on pay per view next up. We got Billy Gunn and Jesse James. The new age outlaws as they're going to become retaining the WWF tag team titles, baiting the legion of doom by the hue and ten minutes and 33 seconds. It too gets a dud rating, but Meltzer would say, go to James or do for an even bigger push in the future. And they get the belts because Lod is going to be taken off to the books after this week and take a relatively short hiatus. But still, this is the coming out party in this era for the new age outlaws. I don't think anybody would have probably predicted how high they would get. But these are two guys who've been around the company for quite a while and you've been looking for something for them, whether it was rockabilly or the roadie and it's like when this happened, this is exactly what you guys and they have been looking for, right? Yeah, it was. They found their calling. And they're calling was never decided by their lack of skills. Billy and Brian outstanding performers. Outstanding performers. And they were hungry as Charles Barkley would say. Sometimes when you're hungry, you get hangry. Yes. And they had it. They had spent their paid their dues, the lack of a better overused cliche. And they were looking for something that was going to help make them more money. And become a bigger stars. And I think we found it in a new age outlaw. They clicked. They clicked and it worked. Next up, we got hunter here sounds like baiting sergeant slaughter in a boot camp match. It goes way too damn long, 17 minutes and 39 seconds. Meltzer would say they didn't miss as many moves or have a total lack of psychology, but they booked this to go way too long, and because of Sarge's physical condition, nobody really took him seriously. Meltzer would say he thinks slaughters at least 40 pounds overweight. He's 49 years old, or at least that's what they're building a man's, but it looks like he's moving in slow motion, quote, almost like watching a guy trying to do a pro wrestling match while in a swimming pool, either way, though, when it's all said and done, the pedigree on the chair gets it finished or China comes along and hits a low blow to set all that up. Negative two stars, you know, listen, you're trying to call something that's bowling shoe ugly with a guy who's a comrade of yours, sergeant slaughter, we're all trying to make chicken salad here now. Pretty much. Yeah, pretty much. I'm glad Sarge got boots. I'm glad Sarge got another few moments in the spotlight. But I'm with you. A better story could have been told in a shorter length of time. And 17 minutes is entirely too long. Considering Sarge's age is fiscal conditioning and so forth. It was a significant victory. We tried to put Sarge over as this legendary guy and thought we did a decent job of that. But it was just too long. It was just too long. It didn't need to be as long as it was. Jeff Jarrett is out next, he's going to beat the undertaker. That's right. Jeff Jarrett bait the undertaker, but by the hue in 6 minutes and 56 seconds because as you see there, if you're watching on YouTube, Kane comes down and interferes, chokeslams Jarrett, so Jeff becomes the winner by DQ. It's all about setting up this collision course of Kane and the undertaker, but boy Dave can't help himself and take some shots at Jeff Jarrett. He says, after undertaker left, Jarrett got to strut in the ring, and if you look up the phrase, quote unquote, not getting over in your dictionary. I'll have a photo of Jared in that Mayan Indian outfit next to the phrase. What do you think of this odd attire that Jeff Jarrett was wearing here? It was perplexing. It was perplexing. I never did understand the exact reasoning for some of these things. But we can say that about a lot of stuff we've talked about here today. Here's a mystery. Sometimes I look back on a Conrad and I

"Again, obviously I'm amazed that you have suffered any more trauma than you have as a result of that. Well, you know, I don't think that any professional athletes would ever put their hands on a broadcaster, I think that's uncalled for, but on the same respect. I think I have to take some professional responsibility for the questions that I ask, and I think I pushed the wrong buttons and for that I apologize. It certainly did not end the way that I wanted it to. And nonetheless, you asked the tough questions and that's what questionably our WWF fans want to know although obviously they would prefer. Not to end that way. We go from that to this. I mean, but that was some compelling stuff, JR. Yeah, pretty good. If the nail on the head there, got one right, seems like. And I don't know that Mick, I mean, yes, he was awesome, great wrestler, unbelievable, and what he did. But do you think he reaches the level that he ultimately does without these segments? Because this is monumental. I remember this vividly watching these growing up with you. Yeah, he found his niche. Yes. And it just is another way to get him over without taking a bunch of bumps and, you know, taking, you know, the most off the ring, the elbows to the concrete and all those things. It was a way to make this thing work and, you know, we're just looking for try to get something hot. It must like this match right here. Billy Gunn was the focal point of this contest, this booking, and rockabilly. Well, there's no tag team partner, Mark Gunn. Yeah, go ahead. Millie still looks just a lot right now. And it's crazy. He looks exactly the same. Yeah, he works out religiously as we know, and I was setting the other day with somebody and being catering at AEW. And he was talking about nutrition. And the damn he's learned in nutrition. He knows monitors as proteins and all these things. He really lives the life right now. And he's got two very talented sons. Yeah, the ass boys. Yeah, the ass voice. So, and I'm happy to see how they're continuing to progress. But their chip off the old block those kids. They should be big time players. Before it's all said and done without a doubt. But, you know, we're just trying to Billy was kind of the chosen one of this duo. Yeah. And we just wanted to try to get him over as a single as a single heel with the honky tonk. Well, we're not letting you get away from the old Mick folia interview that quick without some fan questions because that's what the rest of the fan questions were about. Was that sit down? You did with Mick. And we're going to ask this why we watched this year. So let's get into a bill Reich says, JR, your interview with Mick Foley has to be one of the greatest pieces of wrestling TV of all time. Wow, that's high praise. My question for you is this, with his skilled character work on such clear display, why didn't misses foley's baby boy pick up more acting gigs? I don't know. That's a good question. It was qualified for it. Hey, you know how many Hollywood and showbiz? You got to be right place at the right time. There's no doubt Mick didn't have the skills and certain roles he has been perfect in. But you know, he was so engrossed in the wrestling side. So I don't know if there's a reason skill level wouldn't it, but I'm a big on this big supporter that Mick Foley can do anything he wants to do and do it well. Hey, listen, after what I said the cell job, I saw you give JR, how did you not pick up more acting gigs? All right. I was a little busy. But you did a good job with that, man. That was fun. Thank you. It was all done in one take. And it was done with no script. We just kind of knew our general direction. And we learned how to sell. And we just told a story. It kept evolving. And really, that Mick deserves a credit for that because he kept changing this and. Adding more to the promo,.

"So now we've got the cowboys and the hog farmers. This is Vince McMahon, this is in his Wheelhouse, boy. He loves it. He loves it. Stereotype is stereotype could be. You know, the guy who's got to carry a pig. Each. One each Anne hillbilly Jim. The pig thing and Owen got turned all the pigs loose Vince's office where he got to work. You hear that story? Oh, yeah. That was a good one. I want to mention too. This is a pretty monumental role for a lot of reasons. Not just because of the Bret Hart thing, which we're going to listen to shortly and of course we're going to get into the mister perfect stuff as well. But this is the first time that raw is live on TSN. And of course, that's the station in Canada that carries the show, and for a long time, especially when you look at the next year of the WWF boy, Canada is such a big part of what you guys are doing. And it feels like, hey, if houses are down here in America, domestically? Well, let's just go across the border, because Canada at that point is almost like a wrestling crazed country. And you've now got this show live on TSN. That's a big deal for the company, isn't it? Yeah it is. You notice there are Hillary gyms stepping on the top rope. It says going to be your next champion. Citizen and one to tender. I would not have had hillbilly sip over the top rope. Well, first of all, he really couldn't do it without balancing. I mean, it's a teeter totter deal. Yeah. You know, I get your yam bag on those top ropes. I can promise you. I can't imagine that feels good. Not that I've ever done, if I have had a handbag issue on the second rope. It's not fun. Well, Jim, you brought it up. Let's hear about that yam bank. Yeah. Every man's got one. Well, you are specifically grinding on the ropes. How did this happen? Tell us about your yam bag incident. All I got the ring on a step between the second and third rope and there was a heel there. And so all he did was reach down and pull a rope up like a fiddle string and it hit me about three times for I could get my fat ass off of it. It's not funny. It's not funny Conrad. The misery of others should not be the pleasure of years. This is, I don't know how many times these guys work together. Too many? Had to be in a hundred, you know, Phineas is one of the top chefs of Florida right now. I heard you know that. I heard it's really good, legit. And Mark Gunn is an electrician. Also in Florida, good guy. He don't like me much because of brawl for it all as if I had a damn thing to do with it. I didn't create it. Well, he says he's a stud now. And the bill is as a coach down AEW in his two sons are trying to make their way up the ladder. As you go to the real quick break here, now we're at back. And we're still in Fort Wayne Conrad, by the way. That's very marketable to all the lovely folks at Fort Wayne. Phineas has done well for himself. He's a character. He's lucky he made it through the attitude era. Funny guy. Yeah, naked median. What a game of that was. Good God. You know, Billy Gunn was very underrated. When Billy, Billy, one of the smokey guns broke up, Conrad, and Billy went another direction with the road dog. I believe or not, I wasn't sure that was going to work. Let me spell it for you. GER CO dot com that's Geico dot com. I think a lot of people felt like, 'cause you originally, this gets lost over. But when they break up, you try them as rockabilly and put them with hockey tonk man, which is akin to the kiss of death. But somehow some way he has the best yet to come with an whole new age outlaws deal. Right. And then from there, you would try to break him off into a single star once again, and he wins the king of the ring. The Rock just murdered him forever and ever a man as a singles competitor on live TV with a promo. And that was it, man. It's kind of a shame because he was such a big part of tag team wrestling for the company here. Multiple time champion with the smoking guns, arguably the new age outlaws, one of the top acts in wrestling at the time. I mean, the whole crowd knew their whole rap word for word. There are different levels of quote unquote over. And I know the old term was a road warrior pop, but man, the new age outlaws, they were right up there, weren't they? Yeah, they were. They were a great act. They could really well. And it opened the door for road dog. So we got two big wins out of this situation. And I got a main event level attraction from these two dudes who could both have anybody on the roster that rode dog and Billy could.
