The line from Gretzky “I’ll leave you speechless after three periods like an ellipsis” is great. The face value is hockey has three periods of play so he leaves people speechless with his play after a game. But a ellipsis is when you write out “…” which is used to usually show someone is quiet or speechless which itself is 3 periods.
Big hockey fan so lemme offer some explanations here. - Oiler alert you're about to get traded. Gretzky started his career as an Oiler, and when he was eventually traded there was an Oiler alert that went out nationally...as it was viewed as a dark day for Canadian hockey, with the GM of the Oilers even receiving death threats. - The Flyer comment was towards the Philadelphia Flyers, a team Gretzky usually tore up. - Cross Check is pretty simple, its a hit, using the stick instead of a shoulder, or hip...at the time he played, they were thrown out a lot more. - The 99 problems line from Hawk also points to Wayne's number 99. - A hockey game has 3 periods so there's really no half-time or anything. Thats probably the majority of them.
11:42 Regarding being unable to see the puck in hockey, it's generally easier to follow the movement of the players because they tend to know where it is
The ERB wiki has meaning/lyrics if you are missing stuff, I would suggest having it ready if there is something you miss! This is true for all their songs.
I'm not sure exactly, but the 99 problems thing would probably be "99 problems, but a bitch ain't one", so it might be a way to imply that Gretzky is a bitch, but without directly saying it... I don't know... It's kinda lazy, but at the same time it adds emphasis... Maybe there are some other references... It doesn't really seem too bad to me, but it also doesn't seem good, but maybe I'm forgetting something too. Gretzky makes a Street Fighter reference earlier, with T. Hawk being a character from Super Street Fighter 2 and sometimes onwards, I think. Either way, I think Gretzky had by far the harder hitting lines, so I'd have to give this to him.
??? Tony Hawk is called Birdman. Birdman is also an alias of a rapper who has had conflict with another rapped called Lil Wayne. Tony Hawk did NOT date Wayne Gretzky's daughter. I have no idea where you got that notion.

What matters for repetition in rap is based on if the preceeding words rhyme.
I reckon if ERB had asked, I think Tony Hawk and Wayne Gretzky would have done this themselves
The Wayne vs Birdman line is a rap thing. They were two folks that didn't get along at a label called CashMoney.
Weren't those skateboards called tech decks?

Birdman is what Tony Hawk is known as. It's his nickname
Yeah, the world records line is pretty much the only thing I remember about this one.
Need to lvl up your knowledge lol

Stephen King vs Edgar Allen Poe is another good one if you're looking for suggestions :3
The only one I see not mentioned is the "deke jokes" one.
A deke in hockey is like a juke, a shake. It's a move to get past your opponent.
Wait what world record do you have? I guess you could say there's 184 world records between you and Wayne Gretzky 😏
Hahaha! I have The most locks picked in one minute. www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/97409-most-locks-picked-in-one-minute

The 99 problems line is that. Also Gretsky wore the #99 jersey
2:05 -I think he's nicknamed "Bird" or "Birdman" because his last name is Hawk.
3:44 - Tony Hawk dated Wayne Gretzky's daughter for while.
???
