"Eat their lunch" is absolutely correct though. Here, in the US, it's a colloquial expression that generally means to outcompete or unfairly take advantage of someone else.
After 5 minutes of silence: “I don’t think you heard where I said I was killed by John Lithgow. Do you know who that is? Let me rephrase that. It reminds me of the time I was killed by the main villain in the #1 box office movie Cliffhanger. Still nothin’?” (Ok, Cliffhanger technically came out the following year)
The problem is that Jim Ross is extremely uneducated and clueless and Jesse Ventura completely exposed that every time he said something (altough this also made the commentary pretty infuriating to listen to). Ventura would always compare wrestlers to politics and Ross went silent because he had no clue. Ross only knows two things: Wrestling and American Handegg. Everything else leaves his mind completely blank. That's why Vince McMahon worked so much better with Ventura, he had a education and some knowledge about politics and other things and they could play off each other and banter.
The line about eating their lunch meant the Steiners could do whatever they wanted and nobody could do anything about it. Like a bully eating your lunch, or taking your milk money.
@@davidlevy706 We don't really use it over here but I have heard it through American media a fair bit, so the Wrestle Me lads must just never have heard the phrase before.
This channel is great. It has singlehandedly reignited my love for pro wrestling. Grew up with it on the TV whilst playing with my Knex and Lego. Now I watch this as I do paperwork. Life is a flat spiral and all that...
Jesse's hair is a throwback to when he was in the Mongols MC. It was a common hairstyle amongst it's members, throughout the 70's and 80's. Fun Fact: Ventura remained an inactive member of the Mongols after leaving the club in 1974 to pursue his wrestling career. He has continued to defend the club and its members, testifying as an expert witness on their behalf in a federal racketeering trial in 2018.
Maybe they don't say that in the uk, but eating someone's lunch is a common phrase in the states. For instance, I heard a lot of critics say when the super Mario brother movie came out and broke animation box office records that Nintendo was eating Disney's lunch
I hate it when a Japanese wrestler gets given vaguely Asian music, when so many of their themes are bangers. Especially Liger's which is a literal anime theme
7:43. Shohei Baba had a big babyface run in IIRC Detroit after taking out The Sheik to win the International title. I always thought Satoru Sayama could just about have pulled off Sammy Lee in America. He had this odd boyish charm that Yamada didn't have - shrugging with amused bewilderment when Johnny England fled the ring in terror or waving mockingly at Mick McManus wHen he did the same. Also. fans in WCW 1989-1990 DESPERATELY wanted to cheer the Great Muta (and finally did the night the Horsemen betrayed Sting) and management were keen to do a proper face turn for him, but his manager Gary Hart did everything to block it.
Actually even Americans could realise that the whole anti Japanese thing could go too far - witness the angle with Johnny B Badd trying to calm Pillman down with a lips sticker that you covered previously.
@@DavidKRoebuck There was an old article in ta 70s Aptermag reprinted in the Wrestling Classics Aptermag in the early 90 - Shohei Baba "I don't hate Americans any more" about his International title win from the Sheik. Apparently he even had his name on the belt a la Big Goldy.
In 1992 we didn't have the internet to flatten everything out into a monoculture. The city and suburban kids were listening to grunge but if you went to the country, people were still walking around mustachioed with mullets, rattails and cutoff jeans like it was 1975 (except with neon colors). WCW was really stuck in that southern rock, country boy style way into the 90's.
"[A] will be eating [B]'s lunch if they're not careful" and other variants are just normal and common phrases - they're gonna take business/victory/winnings etc from under the other person's nose.
@@davidlevy706 I guess I probably heard it mostly American podcasts/films/TV etc. But I wasn't saying it to say they're idiots or anything though - my wife hadn't heard it either. Same with any phrase - there was a point where Snickers changed their labels to refer to hungry/grumpy folk and it used Northern phrases I'd never heard of (something like "Mardy bum" maybe?) - I had to ask around the office before I found someone who could explain it. You either hear stuff or you don't. But I just wanted to explain that he said something coherent, is all.
On the Christmas Day thing, they actually used to do derbies as double headers on Christmas Day and Boxing Day in the Football League pre-WW2. So on Christmas Day you'd have Liverpool vs. Everton and then the reverse fixture on Boxing Day. Not 100% sure when they changed it(it's not like I was anywhere near being born) but I guess they did used to do that kinda thing here.
JR should have brought up the fact that Ventura was beaten by the Predator, and therefore Liger was a favorite in this match. Then, once Pillman wins, you can compare him to Arnold.
The rat tails were flowing freely in the early 90s. I had one in grade 2 that developed into a decent mullet. I also remember pushing a huge rock down a slide and getting in trouble for it.
I remember that one really prominent Hells Angel leader, can't recall his exact name, he eventually admitted the Angels' insistence on Harleys was just traditional and if he didnt have to adhere to the image he'd move to a foreign bike 😂
10:27 "we had never seen anything like it before" We? I'd take that from Americans but you guys have already covered Flying Fuji Yamada in your Rocco video. I was rewatching it this morning.
"Eat their Lunch" is a legitimate phrase. Maybe it's only said in America. It's like when a Bully takes someone's Lunch Money or just straight up Takes their Lunch and eats it.
With the Harley stuff - It might be connected to the fact that a lot of outlaw motorcycle gangs like the Hells Angels require you to ride an American motorcycle (or sometimes a Harley in particular). This is at least said to be because a lot of these gangs were started by WWII veterans who had just got back from fighting the japanese. [note:I'm not defending their racism at all - in fact, I think motorcycles are kind of stupid lol]
It was really bad. Ventura and Ross had no chemistry and Ventura constantly exposed Ross' lack of education and general knowledge outside of Wrestling and American Handegg. Schiavone by that time already started to become really bad ("The Greatest *insert something* in the history of our sport" started around that time. And Bischoff was always pure shit. He has no clue about pro wrestling, can't name moves, doesn't care about storylines. It was way better with Bob Caudle, he and Ross had better chemistry and probably were on the same relatively low education level, so there was no cringe moment. It's also a shame the utilizied the great Gordon Solie so little.

Back to the Future gave a mixed message re Japan. Doc laughs at something being made in Japan while Marty tells him the best stuff is made there. I was pretty young in the 80s but definitely remember there being a stigma about owning Japanese cars. It gave us Michael Keaton's other movie where he's an auto executive.
@@L_Train and how much those beaten up shirts would sell for today. Market on good shirts from anything attitude era and earlier is like looking for a car
Didn't realize Jesse trying to get the Predator over was so like when Bischoff tried the WHERE'S YOUR SCISSORS SID bit. JR doesn't care, so Jesse instantly repeats himself.
No, it's simply because he himself rides Harley Davidson and was a full-patch member of the Mongols MC in the 70's in San Diego (hence also his rat tail, that's a signature of Mongols members)
3:05 It's not just Jesse Ventura and Kendo Nagasaki that have that shaved head + ponytail hairdo. I saw a bunch of Hare Krishna's in town at the weekend and they all had that look. So did that bloke from Classic Nouveaux (and in the video for Is It A Dream they all dress up as Kendokas and hang out at a Retreat in the countryside like Peter Thornley)
2:51 for a minute I thought Jesse Ventura was coming down the aisle on a mobility scooter like Johnny Ace did in WWE! I also thought god that mobility scooter is fast and did they have them in 1992? Then I saw it was a motorcycle 🏍 or his hog or whatever Americans call those shitty bikes. Never liked Harley Davidsons or Choppers I like the Japanese superbikes and Ducati bikes. My cousin who is American has had a few Harley Davidsons but my first bike was a Yamaha R6 then I got the Yamaha R1 but I have been looking at some of the electric superbikes and I’m thinking of getting one
I have heard eat their lunch before here in America it's more like we're so big we just take your lunch from you as opposed to we will eat them for lunch like a monster shark
@@L_Train forreal what storyline could possibly call for her to strut like a cheerleader, disregard the camera, and talk to some jet black figure with a pouch full of silver coins 😂

8:45 how can the crowd not know Jushun Thunder Liger isn’t from Japan when the announcer literally says “and hailing from Tokyo Japan”? I do have an American side of the family and I have spent a lot of time in America as my parents have owned a house in West Palm Beach near my mum’s brother’s house since 96 and I have come across a lot of stupid Americans or maybe it’s a Florida thing but my uncle’s new wife did ask when visiting us in England do we celebrate Independence Day on 4th July (as it was the 3rd of July and I said your gonna to miss a big holiday tomorrow then she asked that question), also while in America one of my cousins asked what date is Boxing Day on this year?
Jesus Christ at least with a mullet you actually can make it look cool rat tails why did we ever think that was a cool style were we being drugged at pro wrestling shows or something
People liked Jushin Liger because the mask hid that he was Japanese? WTF???? Absolutely everyone knew he was Japanese and everyone loved him because cool moves cool ass mask.
I'm guessing 'cuz y'all are from the U.K. you're really only familiar w/ the most obvious & ridiculous American stereotypes. Well, what y'all don't realize is how incredibly cool Japanese wrestlers were to American kids in the 80's-90's. Jushin Liger, Ultimo Dragon, Taka Michinoku, Hakushi, etc. were only the tip of the iceberg. Being born in 1983 in Alabama, I can tell ya from personal experience that I remember how flippin' awesome my friends & I thought all the Japanese wrestlers were.
I had a t shirt with a joke about if you ride a long list of Japanese motorcycles your brain on drugs and sober brain Harley Indian BSA Norton Triumph Ducati and BMW the 2 lists had brains drawn around them and they used their logos
Hey chaps, feel free to take that offensive warning language off the video start. We be wrasslin fans and we’ve lived through it all. Spot on video too btw
7:56. British (and European) Wrestling was traditionally like Japanese Wrestling in that respect. Lots of brilliant technical wrestlers with not a clue about psychology who were goodies only inasmuch as they didn't wrestle dirty. Good case in point Keith Hayward, former Commonwealth Games medalist turned European Middleweight Champion. Or going back in time a lot of Wigan Snakepit guys like Tommy "Jack Dempsey" Moore or Ernie Riley (Billy Joyce had mildly sly heelish tendencies and Billy Robinson was a bit of a Dirty Harry type anti hero who openly enjoyed hurting opponents and having a good scrap with a baddy and was openly known to be friends with Kendo.) Actually the Japanese got he whole "cheer for good work" thing from Europeans lke Robinson and Karl Gotch. Before that it was all just honourable Japanese babyfaces vs evil Gaijin Heels.
"Eat their lunch" is absolutely correct though. Here, in the US, it's a colloquial expression that generally means to outcompete or unfairly take advantage of someone else.
Yeah I had a coach that used to say it all the time. These poor brits will never understand American wrestling...lol just kidding guys.
Yep. It's said in the film Dirty Mary Crazy Larry too.
Very old, possibly American expression.
There is a t-shirt of the time Dennis Eckersley said that exact phrase about a shitty Red Sox pitcher LOL
"Reminds me of the time i was killed in prison by John Lithgow, JR!!"

and fair play a few of them started to prepare full cooked dinners to put out for the homeless man to turn up
but he would ring back a few mins later to say he was just pranking them
but the best one was, he rang one of them up and his friend was cutting the turkey leg as he rang, so had to put down the cutter
and he said he wont put the food on the step, you can come and have the food with my family and join them for xmas at the dinner table
my dad was a bit choked up at that and told them straight away it was a prank and was quite emotional after that someone could be so kind

Love any of the liger v pillman matches wayyyy ahead of their time!
"Eat their lunch" is a phrase we have here boys.
8:45 how can the crowd not know Jushun Thunder Liger isn’t from Japan when the announcer literally says “and hailing from Tokyo Japan”? I do have an American side of the family and I have spent a lot of time in America as my parents have owned a house in West Palm Beach near my mum’s brother’s house since 96 and I have come across a lot of stupid Americans or maybe it’s a Florida thing but my uncle’s new wife did ask when visiting us in England do we celebrate Independence Day on 4th July (as it was the 3rd of July and I said your gonna to miss a big holiday tomorrow then she asked that question), also while in America one of my cousins asked what date is Boxing Day on this year?
The jesse predator bit 😆
Jesus Christ at least with a mullet you actually can make it look cool rat tails why did we ever think that was a cool style were we being drugged at pro wrestling shows or something
Just never a fan of Jesse . Still not a fan of him lol
People liked Jushin Liger because the mask hid that he was Japanese? WTF???? Absolutely everyone knew he was Japanese and everyone loved him because cool moves cool ass mask.
I'm guessing 'cuz y'all are from the U.K. you're really only familiar w/ the most obvious & ridiculous American stereotypes. Well, what y'all don't realize is how incredibly cool Japanese wrestlers were to American kids in the 80's-90's. Jushin Liger, Ultimo Dragon, Taka Michinoku, Hakushi, etc. were only the tip of the iceberg. Being born in 1983 in Alabama, I can tell ya from personal experience that I remember how flippin' awesome my friends & I thought all the Japanese wrestlers were.
It's Garbage day!
I had a t shirt with a joke about if you ride a long list of Japanese motorcycles your brain on drugs and sober brain Harley Indian BSA Norton Triumph Ducati and BMW the 2 lists had brains drawn around them and they used their logos
Greetings from Wisconsin 🧀✌️

What’s with the censor at 3:50?
You took over from Basil Brush?
It was Chris Tarrant mate
@@colemanfrancis alright, thanks.
…why are they not allowed to say his name?
Wasn't it Dr Frog?
Have you never seeing Ultraman?
It's based on that Sci/Fi Japanese TV series.
By that logic „Brit“ is also racist and it isn’t either
Hey chaps, feel free to take that offensive warning language off the video start. We be wrasslin fans and we’ve lived through it all. Spot on video too btw
"I'm going to eat your lunch" and "I drink your milkshake" are very popular phrases in the United States....
7:56. British (and European) Wrestling was traditionally like Japanese Wrestling in that respect. Lots of brilliant technical wrestlers with not a clue about psychology who were goodies only inasmuch as they didn't wrestle dirty. Good case in point Keith Hayward, former Commonwealth Games medalist turned European Middleweight Champion. Or going back in time a lot of Wigan Snakepit guys like Tommy "Jack Dempsey" Moore or Ernie Riley (Billy Joyce had mildly sly heelish tendencies and Billy Robinson was a bit of a Dirty Harry type anti hero who openly enjoyed hurting opponents and having a good scrap with a baddy and was openly known to be friends with Kendo.)
Actually the Japanese got he whole "cheer for good work" thing from Europeans lke Robinson and Karl Gotch. Before that it was all just honourable Japanese babyfaces vs evil Gaijin Heels.
Where's part 2?

Re: Eat them for lunch..
That look may have been because Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested in Milwaukee less than a year prior.
Wait a second…
Is Wrestle Me a bunch of Japanese sympathisers??
Not sure anyone thought a 5’5” dude name Jushin Liger wearing a Devil mask was a white dude.
1st
I don't think there is a more Japanese looking thing than ligers costume, that premise is absurd.
The music choice of Liger HONOR him and Japan.
You guys just have brainwashed views about anything to do with anyone that is not White.
There's a lot of shoehorned anti asian racism in this episode sirs. Seems like more of a "you" problem than anything else
