I love that in the baseball discussion, Tony and Jawnny were so sure that “Rollie Fingers” and “Catfish Hunter” were bits that they missed the actual bit of James trying to say he “fucked with Shohei Ohtani back in the day”
Fun fact (pertaining to the baseball talk from the beginning of the show): Catfish Hunter's legit first name is James. He was born James Augustus Hunter, and went by Catfish because he just loved fishing and hunting (He missed the entirety of what would have been his rookie season due to a hunting injury). No wonder Pulse likes him. Women loved him, fish feared him. RIP Jim "Catfish" Hunter.
I just watched a Shawn Michaels doc and he talked about what led up to his “lost my smile” moment, he was so deep into drugs that HHH had to go to Vince and tell him Shawn had a massive problem and needed to get help, Vince called Shawn’s father to talk to him about Shawn’s drug problem and Vince said his dad didn’t want to hear anything about it. Shawn said the moment that turned his drug problem around was his kid getting to an age where he could talk and started saying “Daddy’s tired” all the time, he realized his kid was becoming aware something was wrong with him and he told his wife the next day he was quitting and according to her he kept his word.
Shawn "losing his smile" and basically bailing on the idea of putting Brett o er at WM13 set the stage for him having no choice but to put over an even hotter star in Steve Austin at WM14
Yeah, whenever I hear the story of Shawn with the crippling back pain being watched over by Taker slowly taping his fists backstage at WM14 my mind always went to the story of the boy who cried wolf.
You can't out-politic the carny god that is Hulk Hogan. Easily the best in the business when it came to throwing his weight around behind the curtain and convincing people into doing what he wanted.
The best part about the Hogan - Shawn thing is Shawn getting a taste of his own medicine. When he was politicking with the Kliq, Hogan was in WCW so he wasn't aware of the sheer magnitude of the backstage beast Hogan is. Hogan fr is the goat backstage politician. No one has EVER gone over on him backstage. He out-politicked everyone in THREE DIFFERENT COMPANIES!!! Who does that, brother?!
@@therealangelalexander1858 The boys should do the show after Summerslam 05 where despited being out played by Hogan he somehow got the last laugh saying how we ain't seeing Hogan months from now and then turning face and fueding with Chris Masters as if the Hogan fued did not happened.
This little jaborini has to lose his smile to get out of dropping the belt, dude, the Hulkster can just not show up to Nitro...Not that I'd ever do that, dude.
Is funny how HBK loosing his smile gave us the Austin Bret match at Mania 13 and Bret's full heel turn too and it gave us the first WWF title change on Raw with Sid beating Bret for the belt. As for The Rock at this point it was very rough so much so they needed to make a new heel just for Rock to get cheered from the fans. Also this was the time period before they went the full Raw is War presentation they just did these shows in smaller venues cause bussiness was still bad at this time so is why Raw took place is such fun and random locations also the shows back then where 1 was live which most of the time the Raw after the ppv and the rest where taped in the same venue 3 or 2 times per month to save on costs cause a live show costed more than a taped show so is why most segments feel a bit hastily edited and stuff. Also man WCW was kicking there asses around this time period lol no wonder HBK faked his injury here.
I rarely comment on videos, but the Burger King Foot Lettuce story is one of the most hilarious stories. There was no timestamp for it so I decided to do a rough estimate: 1:17:13 to 1:24:30. Also did you know these guys do an actual wrestling show called DPW that recently had it's SECOND anniversary show (In April)?
It was some real shit.I was guilty, growing up watching Cartoon Network once the Screen fades and the small text bubble appears it was channel surfing time. I still regret not watching old Adult swim, and this is a guy that watched prime Chappelle show at age 8 in 03.
Attended this show live and had an absolute blast. It felt like such a different product especially considering I attended a post survivor series 96 house show in the same building a couple months prior that felt like a dying company.
Shawn would’ve hated WCW. The show under no circumstances would’ve been built around him; nobody is out politicking the Hulkster. But Bret would’ve stayed in WWF and could’ve had that Mania 14 match with Steve… well Shawn, have fun in WCW.
Im not sure if you guys have done it yet but the RAW before Wrestlemania 13 is a classic crazy episode. Plus I think Shawn dances on a chair even though he "needed surgery" 😂
I've also encountered the anti-KOTH people on IG. Saw one bewildering post sticking its nose up at it to the tune of thousands of likes and comments, never saw anything like that again. Very odd
I honestly mistake this moment, for the In Your House PPV where Shawn Relinquished the Intercontinental Title to Dean Douglas, only for REAL Razor (Scott Hall) to whoop his ass later and take the Title.... I'd like to thank Da Boyz for straightening this out for me 😅
I just found your podcast, and as a lifelong wrestling fan I gotta say y'all are amazing..I haven't laughed this hard since cum town did their Chris Benoit story.
1:08:29 okay so that just unlocked a memory for me lmao back in elementary I had a friend who SWORE stone cold cut Owen Hart’s safety harness and caused him to fall cause he had botched the pile driver and almost broke stone colds neck 😂😂😂
What does going to Disneyland with dad and granddad have to do about ripping it Cheech and Chong style and getting some? You can do both AT THE SAME TIME.
One of the most interesting things about the rock's career to me, is how wwf had him in uswa as flex kavana (store brand Rock) to hone is mic skills, presentation, and charisma. Then called him up to build his in ring ability and... get used to being booed like a heel. I i don't know if it was intentional or they just gave up on pushing him as mavia, but either way it's pretty unheard of for Vince. What makes for a better heel than a baby face that no one wants?
I watch these guys so much I simply cannot take Tony seriously in the VPN ad 😂 also in his what if series on UA-cam it just sounds like he’s trolling because I’m so used to him cracking jokes 😂😂😂
Lookout for cookout. Love cookout, cant wait to go there next week when i visit my family. The cookout tray is the best deal in fast food. Peroid. 50 milkshakes. Corndogs and quesos as a side. Its crazy. I miss living in NC for cookout alone. Lol
1997 was grade 5 for me. At the time I used so many wrestling terms I thought everyone used in the real world. Called a few people mark man(Shawn called Bret that) thinking it was a huge dis lol. And when I felt sad I told a few people I lost my smile. Just the worst lol. But 98 was really bad bc that was my throwing up the double bird a'la Steve Austin lol. Normal behavior! I'm guessing we all did this!

I didnt even catch this but that’s so fucking funny
Exactly my thoughts lmao he got them in the end unexpectedly
James is fucking hilarious.
39:53 I didn't catch Tony's "Its a fake one" reply to Shawn Michael's injury news, that's tremendous.
Fun fact (pertaining to the baseball talk from the beginning of the show): Catfish Hunter's legit first name is James.
He was born James Augustus Hunter, and went by Catfish because he just loved fishing and hunting (He missed the entirety of what would have been his rookie season due to a hunting injury).
No wonder Pulse likes him. Women loved him, fish feared him. RIP Jim "Catfish" Hunter.
The subtle James line in saying, "Shohei Othani was one of my favorites in... '97" made me laugh a bit.
It was me, Rollie Fingers, and Catfish Hunter and we were blazing that shit every single day 🌲 💨
Can’t forget Chippyer Jones.

Which is poetic being WM13 Bret Vs Austin might be the most perfect wrestling match of all time
Nash apparently did at one point try to counter politic Hogan in WCW but gave up in order to live an easier life
I guess you could say it didn't work for Nash, brother.
You can't out-politic the carny god that is Hulk Hogan. Easily the best in the business when it came to throwing his weight around behind the curtain and convincing people into doing what he wanted.

Idk if you can say he got a taste of his own medicine when Hogan apparently believed HBK was just selling like normal so idk.
@@therealangelalexander1858 The boys should do the show after Summerslam 05
where despited being out played by Hogan he somehow got the last laugh saying how we ain't seeing Hogan months from now and then turning face and fueding with Chris Masters as if the Hogan fued did not happened.
I feel like Shawn and HHH still got the last laugh considering how hard Hogan would crash and burn after this.
Oooooh shit, we getting that paid sponsor bag? Now the boys are finally hitting the big time!
I love this fuckin podcast so much that I legitimately got happy when I saw it. MAKE THAT FUCKIN MONEY BOIS!!!!!
The losing my smile segment was so egregious, they even got Tony to bury Shawn momentarily 😂
Or maybe they didn’t brother
who knows brother its up to you
"I lost a lot of things and one of them has been my smile...OR MAYBE NOT BROTHER!"
HBK loses his smile... OR MAYBE HE DIDN'T. WHO KNOWS BROTHER!
Imma tell you dis brother he ain't beating me when we have our match together dude jack!
CAUSE YOU KNOW SOMETHIN' BROTHER?
I'M NOT LOSING TO THAT LITTLE JACK DUDE BROTHER.
HOW ABOUT I GO OVER BROTHER AND YOU TAKE MY FINISH DUDE?
HE PROBABLY LEFT IT IN THE LIMO, BROTHER
This little jaborini has to lose his smile to get out of dropping the belt, dude, the Hulkster can just not show up to Nitro...Not that I'd ever do that, dude.
WELL YOU KNOW
1:00:00 politicking differences in the Kliq (Hunter & Shawn vs Hall & Nash)
1:03:05 Hogan the master politician

Also man WCW was kicking there asses around this time period lol no wonder HBK faked his injury here.
I listened to Bryan and Vinny's review on this Raw over and over. So I'm sure this will be a fucking treat.
to quote Undertaker 'I will believe him when I see the scar, that fucker doesnt want to drop the belt'
1:13:33 "Steve Austin, when he's not on the trenboloney sandwiches, actually kind of sexual"
"WHAT?"
Unbelievable aside.
i love how genuinely angry James got in this one
HOGAN'S GOT YOU DANCING ON
S T R I N G S
Reading this and his red lighting got me fired up for this.
I don't blame him Raw was pretty bad around that time period with a few good segmemts thrown in.
I FORGOT THIS WAS SOMAS MICHEALS ERA
Yeah I wonder why the number 1 Bret Hart fan was genuinely angry with Shawn on this episode 😂
I rarely comment on videos, but the Burger King Foot Lettuce story is one of the most hilarious stories. There was no timestamp for it so I decided to do a rough estimate: 1:17:13 to 1:24:30.

Did you know no one gives a shit 😮
You non Patreon guys are in for a treat today
OR MAYBE WE AREN'T BROTHER!
Don't condescend me, brother.
I love you little hulkamaniacs; I hope you're out there politicking for the money and the belts dudes! 😎
That means rough sex
Patreon? It's all about that Deadlock OnlyFans now Brother!
Shawn lost his smile? OR MAYBE HE DIDN'T, BROTHER. Maybe he'll join me in WCW dude.
5:18 Hulk Hogan vs. Shawn Michaels in WCW going crazy. Also, this is the first ever mention of Bobby Eaton "Da Pussi".
Bro based Bobby had me screaming
I remember forcing myself to stay up as a kid just to watch adult swim back when they would actually show old people at the pool in commercials lol
"All kids get out of the pool, it's time for Adult Swim"
“Sir is that a Sandwich? What kinda sandwich is that?”
ua-cam.com/video/h9CnXYQMTUw/v-deo.html
Any kid that ain’t like Adult swim is crazy.
That was life for me
I was never allowed to watch it
@@Wyatt31704 me neither I used to sneak watch it lol
Me and my brothers.
It was some real shit.I was guilty, growing up watching Cartoon Network once the Screen fades and the small text bubble appears it was channel surfing time. I still regret not watching old Adult swim, and this is a guy that watched prime Chappelle show at age 8 in 03.
The meme isn’t about not liking it. The meme is if you do watch it you’ll get in trouble by your parents. (Strict parenting experience)
Raw always did the J.O.B. Against The Westminster dog show since the 20th century.
i was smoking a bowl when tony said "immediately" during the hotel story and almost blew my whole bowl out lmao
Kevin Nash is a lot of things, but he has always been smart about money.
A young Switchblade Jay White saw the Hunter Hearst Helmsley attire and said, “I can work with that.”
James: "The Atlanta Braves were my childhood team."
Proceeds to name three Oakland legends lol.
deadlock now has sponsors nice
The boys getting that sponsor bag, love to see it
Attended this show live and had an absolute blast. It felt like such a different product especially considering I attended a post survivor series 96 house show in the same building a couple months prior that felt like a dying company.
1:13:08 - Pulse's comments on Austin go crazy.
I was at a house show in Lowell Mass for NXT. Made a sign and Johnny Gargano pointed it out, then liked my tweet. Pretty cool
lets goooo the boys are getting SPONSORS
When I first heard this on Spotify, my first thought was "I need an RTAA style animation of the Schism segment".
1:13 - So that others won’t suffer as I have. That’s when the proper video begins.
18:20 Meltzer skip.
HBK losing the politicking to Hogan bit is Gold
I cant believe HBK lost his smile... or maybe he didn't, brother?
Shawn “yea my doctor said doing jobs is not healthy for me 😢”
Joe Swanson with the Double schism Knees
Shawn would’ve hated WCW. The show under no circumstances would’ve been built around him; nobody is out politicking the Hulkster. But Bret would’ve stayed in WWF and could’ve had that Mania 14 match with Steve… well Shawn, have fun in WCW.
Im not sure if you guys have done it yet but the RAW before Wrestlemania 13 is a classic crazy episode. Plus I think Shawn dances on a chair even though he "needed surgery" 😂
I'm gonna casually drop "getting ram dogged ass style" in a conversation one day and it'll be like a kick to the chest of whoever I'm talking to
Man these reviews bring me so much Joy 😂
The birth of the DEADLOCK Plus 10 Moment of the Night.
Fun Fact Tony....... Bret Hart never lost his smile and has 2 eyes that see straight
52:14 “they were tapped in!” 😂😂😂 here puls3 goes again with the black lingo 😂 I love it. He’s tapped in with the culture! ✊🏾
😂😂😂 This episode is up there with the Jr lit on fire and the Tony Vinny mac theme song ep. Congrats on 1 year of DPW [wwe u deserved it chant]
I've also encountered the anti-KOTH people on IG. Saw one bewildering post sticking its nose up at it to the tune of thousands of likes and comments, never saw anything like that again. Very odd
For real no joke, Tony did a great voice over for that Nord VPN ad.
Stone Cold angrily threatening to end himself by jumping off the balcony because Vader lost made me laugh so hard I cried a little

47:50 “We want Sid”

I used to have hella Rollie Fingers cards when I was young and l marked at his sweet handlebar mustache .
Lost his smile then came back in months, by the end of the year he screws Brett 😂😂 HELL OF A RUN BROTHER OR MAYBE IT ISNT DUDE.
All of the Harts got screwed by HBK during that year it was nuts.
He (Shawn) was also burying the rock and trying to get him fired
17:37 80% of Aqua Teen Hunger Force fans.... Look like Carl now 😏

I think you just had the tism
One of my few regrets leaving Lowell was not having gone to a wrestling show there.
Aint no way they got a sponsor‼️
I stopped to watch Burger King foot lettuce and the first video is a repost of chills.
I like that they just explain that they run a wrestling promotion 😂 like how would a viewer not get that
I didn't know
So I tried to looked up the Westminster dog show rating. No one has recorded them. Then I realized, why do we give so much of a shit over ratings?
Seems like James lost his smile in this one.... skeewoah 🙁
Surprised Oil Can Boyd wasnt mentioned
The biggest lie in pro wrestling, yet one of the saddest moments in pro wrestling history.
