:D

good morning dippers

John Nickell

This the oldest show they ever reviewed?

The MK Zer-Yooooooooooooooooooo

DUDE! I was just listening to the pod episode where you mentioned the Dudesons! It was the TNA Thursday debut one, during the observer notes, episode 258 (yes I had to look up the number.) All you did was mention that they were TNA's lead-in, that was it.

Daniel Reyes

The Bam voice already made this episode 10/10 😂

Elijah Stolyar

What's the episode where they talk about new jack throwing a guy out the window?

Real North Carolina judge Dick Boner

Just realized that yall can do the Mega Powers breakup episode of The Main Event. TONY I KNOW YOU HAVE LUST IN YOUR EYES FOR ELIZABIT

Zarux

Fuck yeah today is gonna be less shitty because THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!

John Nickell

The shield of their generation. You know what James is on to something here. The man is right

teej

Drop the Viva La Bam episode of Watch This NOW!!!!!!

ValVenis.com

God listening to this episode while high must be insane once it gets to the Kamala Bloodline

Sunflower.Dojo

Jim Carrys Grinch not getting a shout out is a sin to humanity

BigJ

The wrestling may not appeal to the boys, but this era has the highest concentration of coked-out, fucked-fucker carnies. It's worth it just to marvel at these crazy bastards.

Seb

Jawwny sell me a signed copy of MacGruber. It’ll be the perfect Christmas gift 😂

vegetariangoth

really wasn't expecting a Hot Frosty shout out

Viggy Pop

I always wondered why bam talked like that on viva la bam

BigJ

You boys underestimate the dickrider status of Brutus Beefcake. This dude was Hogan's ball-licker for his entire career. His literal first gimmick was being Hogan's brother in the AWA.

Two-Tone MoonStone

The visual of Hogan getting stomped out in the back while Ventura smokes a lung dart is what keeps me coming back to this show

Nate Patrin

I hope the boys do more '80s WWF if only because Jawnny's Andre voice is fucking astounding and he should be given every possible excuse to break it out

John Nickell

Sup bro, it’s on the watch this section. They have done it :)

PT

I believe George Steele was the teacher/wrestler from that era of the WWF, to make a minor correction there. Regardless, apparently he was absolutely a truly nice guy to everyone, like what was said.

Cole

Brutus beefcake's gimmick here is that he's a male stripper.

Chaz Moshson

I have a similar story about Goldust to the one mentioned in the Q&A segment. My dad didn't like wrestling and never understood why I was watching it. One time we were flipping through channels on TV, and RAW was on, and my dad decided to stay on this channel in order to understand why I am so into wrestling. And of course when he decided to do that, it wasn't some cool match or promo, it was a Ted DiBiase, Johnny Knoxville & Goldust segment from 2010 RAW, and it was awful. This was the last time my dad watched wrestling, but he still remembers the big gold one. He literally knows 4 wrestlers: Rock, Hogan, Batista, and Goldust. So yeah, everybody knows Goldust.

TeddyTooLongToHandle

This is my favourite pod episode i think. i wasnt expecting the kamala flow chart. it changed my life

Veeeeeeeera

For the record Kamala II was indeed a gimmick Stan Frazier did in Memphis occasionally, teaming with the original Kamala. He’s not even the only Kamala II, Kamala gave his blessing to Ben Peacock aka Botswana Beast aka Kimala II aka Uganda to be Giant Kimala in All Japan, remember him from VPW2?

ConsulttheBones

I have vague memories of Joel Gertner speaking to Kamala in clicks and whistles which I assumed was a really racist tumor developing in my brain but I guess that shit was real

OH MY! DIPPERS OF THE HOG UNITE!

genuinely popped hard hearing my name in the Patreon shout out for the first time! I would Highly suggest the next SNME Halloween episode from Hershey, Pa after this episode if anyone wants to see the wedding feud and the follow match with hogan and Andre. All I'll say to spoil anything is Iron Shiek dressed as batman

Steve Sniffs

god i love the question section just for the names alone

the big amish nick kurtz

i loved this review. i hope the second episode of snme happens in the future!

JP Tuesday

Have the boys done the Hogan/Andre rematch episode of Main Event? That might be an interesting one.

JackRyanForPope

I'm glad that was more fun than you'd expect from 80's WWF. Piper/Orndoff seems like the rare No Contest match that does what it's supposed to do; leave you happy and also wanting more! Also, it took 15 years, but someone finally tried to collect on that bounty at Fall Brawl 2000.

BigJ

That's the one with the double Hebner finish, right?

BigJ

Another benefit of doing more 80's stuff is the boys getting to experience Bobby Heenan and Jesse Ventura commentary while they were in their prime. Which is why the Flair Rumble ('92) should probably be the SGH for January.

Erratic Warlock

Holy shit my dad went to this show back in the day. He used to go to all of the MSG and Meadowlands shows in the 80’s, and I remember him telling me about booing through the entire wedding segment

Frank Lee M’nuhtsitch

Stop with all the Metaphor: Re-Fantazio slander, or I will put this copy of Astro-Bot up Jawnny’s ass

Veeeeeeeera

Thankfully he wasn’t a female stripper that would’ve been harder to pull off

Veeeeeeeera

I had to pause for like five or six minutes when it became clear that Johnny thought “Plowboy” meant “a guy who fucks”

Rocko Bamonti

Great episode boys! Stomach still hurts from laughing. Johnny, you do a great Jesse The Body!

Hyper Misao with the blicky

The Joel kamala thing is because at anarchy rulz 2000 he painted himself like kamala and faced don callis lmao

Joe Gonzalez

This was an all timer episode

BigJ

Reminder: the Treetop Casino episode of Viva La Bam involves them constructing a wrestling ring and having a wrestling match, which qualifies it for WatchThis. It's also 21 minutes.
