About this Episode
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your GCRN Awards
Tag Team Wrestling Tournament. With your host,
Optimus Solo. Money isn't everything, it's the
only thing! And featuring, TV's Mr. Neil. The
whole wrestling world is gonna stand up and take
notice! And, from Simplistic Reviews, DJ Valentine.
Damn! and Matthew Stewart. You know what? You
have a malignant case of wall -to -wall dumb
****. You're stupid. And now, let's get ready
to podcast. Oh, you didn't know? I'm just not
as good as Jesse James. This is Optimus Solo,
and we are back with another episode of the GeekCast
Radio Network's GCRN Wars. That's right, we're
having a tag team war here, a wrestling tag team
battle coming to you in our pre -work for our
top 100 wrestlers of all time. So hopefully you've
been listening for the previous couple episodes.
We've already done round one, and we've had around
two episodes. So we started with 32 wrestling
tag teams throughout history. We went down to
16 last episode, that's where we start today.
We still have 16 tag teams alive, but when we
end today, we'll be down to our Elite 8. So only
8 will remain once all the results have been
given out, and then we're going to be giving
you guys our thoughts, our votes, our opinions
on which of those 8 should move on to the Final
4. But I'm not in this tag team tournament alone.
I have my tag team partner for this whole thing.
Mr. TV's Mr. Neil. Mr. TV's Mr. Neil. That's
too many Mr's. Neil, how you doing? I'm the best
there is the best there was and the best there
ever will be and I screwed that up That's right.
I screwed up your introduction. You can screw
that up It makes us a good tag on the other side
of the wrestling ring here We got another tag
team as they've been with the other two episodes
with us the simplistic reviews tag team I don't
know if that's what your guys are calling yourselves
or if you got a new name or what? But we'll start
with one half of that tag team. Hello. Mr. Matthew
Stewart Win if you can lose if you must but always
cheat And DJ you should like that as a heel fan,
so the other half of the simplistic tag team
DJ bounce hello It's me. It's me. It's DJ V.
What's up? Yo, I like it. I like it So obviously
like you guys know we've been talking about tank
teams We've been putting them off against each
other in virtual matches, and then we've been
letting The fans the listeners the visitors to
the website the Facebook fans vote on who should
move on So this time I we didn't do the Twitter
polls this time. So it was strictly website or
Facebook Voting that we compiled as a the results
for this this round and so you two different
ways you go to the website You can go to Facebook.
You could voice your opinions. We had opinions
being voiced. I still have somebody yelling at
me about DX so So where are stables here? So
I mean, we'll see if we can appease that individual.
It's a long time friend of mine that used to
wrestle with in the backyard in the pool and
all kinds of different stuff. You know, there's
nowhere easier to do fake wrestling moves to
your buddies when you're little and not hurt
each other than a swimming pool. If you didn't
know that you can do the razor's edge off of
the deck into a pool. Nobody gets hurt. Nope,
so that's how we rolled back in the day. We did
all that kids That's better than the backyard
wrestling guys that's safer than jumping off
people's roofs onto trampolines Lawsuits approaching
Water breaks your fall DJ any thoughts before
we start getting into the nitty -gritty of the
16 down to the eight and all that jazz I'm interested
to see how this all shakes out. I think we're
gonna get rid of the pretenders and get to the
champions I think I think this is gonna really
make it the next round is what I'm really anticipating
because this is it's gonna sweet out all the
all the all the garbage and then we're gonna
get to like Sophie's choice of You know competition
right here It's also going to be interesting
to see, you know, if we have any upsets as far
as the seeding was going on because currently
we still have in our 16, we still have a 1, 2,
3, 5. And six seed all still alive so see if
any of them get upset in this round or not we're
gonna be going different places checking in different
matchups i'm not gonna go like we didn't in the
previous ones where we go straight down one side
of the bracket and straight down the other we're
gonna be bouncing all over the place just to
kind of keep it interesting i'm gonna real quick
go down the percentages before we talk about
any teams are just to what people's appetite
so to speak so one round or one of the matchups.
We're going to see a 56 to 44. We're going to
see a 53 to 47. We're going to see a 59 to 41
and a 57 to 43. Those are close matchups. Then
we're also going to have a 71 to 29. Oh, blow
out! A 79 to 21. Oh, really? An 86 to 14. Oh,
I'm sorry. They're dead. a 94 to 6 So that means
just for the record guys that there are no clean
sweeps every tag team left got at least one vote
So take that as you may so that if you guys weren't
paying attention that sounds like four relatively
easy matchups and four nail biters So that's
kind of how it's gonna roll here. Let's start
out with an interesting one here. Let's start
out with our 29 seeded head shrinkers. Walking
down the aisle to face the number 13 seed brain
busters. Interesting here. Yeah, we got our 90s
match up there. Our 90s team and the head shrinkers
that's been receiving a lot of love rolled past
the number four seed rock and roll express to
find themselves in a match up with the brain
busters who took out the rockers in the first
round. Neil. How would this match play out? What
do you think about the head shrinkers and the
brain busters? I think that the that the Heenan
family's got this one. I think there's gonna
be some some dirty tricks I think there might
be a run -in or two they think the brains gonna
get involved in some way That's interesting.
He's gonna have something in his pocket. He's
gonna throw into the ring. I think Brain busters
coming out on top Interesting because you know
head shrinkers. We've seen a lot of love for
those 90s, you know Early 2000s teams so far.
A lot of them have been moving on DJ, what do
you think it's gonna be? Man, I I'm gonna go
brain busters. I think yeah, I think the brain
bus is gonna pull this one out. Well, I mean
the guys are saying brain busters and Brain busters
percent here in the matchup 53 percent to 47
percent so just Barely narrowing out the head
shrinkers right? That's a brain term guys The
brainbusters number 13 see moving on to the elite
eight so that is one of our matchups let's go
to How about? the Dudley boys the number three
seed who took out public enemy in the first round
in an ECW battle. Easily. That was a sweep, by
the way. That was 100 % victory over the public
enemy. As it should be. One that didn't go for
the 90s team. The Fabulous Freebirds took out
the Natural Disasters in the first round. So
now they find themselves against the Dudley boys.
Matthew, did the Fabulous Freebirds have any
chance against the Dudley's? I think, you know,
I know everybody goes to the concerts like play
free bird, but I don't think we're going to have
any, we're not going to have any, uh, you know,
somebody coming back on stage after they leave
the stage. What do you call that again? A encore,
no encore performances for these fabulous free
birds as the Dudley boys deliver the vicious
3d, hopefully through a bunch of tables and,
uh, and they take Michael PS Hayes, stupid. uh
stars and bars cloak and send it back to the
1860s where it belongs so damn right Neil, is
this going to be one of our four close ones or
one of our four blowouts? I can't imagine Freebirds
passing up the Dudleys. Dudleys have got this.
If they need, they can call in Spike, but I don't
think they need Spike. They don't even need Spike.
I don't even know if they need both of the Dudleys,
the main Dudleys. Justify, Neil. I think three
guys are going through a table. Mean the free
birds may bring three guys, but Dudley's can
can handle it with two But the percentage here
is not gonna be close. It's eighty six percent
Dudley's eighty six percent That's the second
highest percent that anybody scored free birds.
Sorry guys a budget if you said the free birds
eighty six percent So the number wrestling's
fixed at all, right The number three see Dudley
boys moving into the elite 8 the number 14 succeed
freebirds I have to go back and hang out with
the head shrinkers I guess in the locker room
back to bad street Atlanta, GA Yeah, God make
me a free bird make me fly far far away now in
the interest of excitement it is Always fun to
have some of these things go right up to the
last minute. So we're going to join a few of
these matches and see what happens. Some of them
are just getting ready to start. Some of them
may be in progress, but we're going to join one
of them. I believe Matt, we have you on location.
Who do you have and what's the story down there?
Well, it's a capacity crowd here tonight at the
Pontiac Silver Dome as the Russians are taking
on the WCW championship team of the legion of
doom and the russians nikita kolov and ivan kolov
they are Well in control this match, but oh,
hold on a minute. Oh paul emmerich is getting
involved. Look, he's up on the he's up on the
apron What's he doing up there paul? Get down
up there. He's distracted ivy coloff He doesn't
know what to do anymore. Nikita's out there punching
hawk in the face over there animals ready He
closed lives in closed lives in the back. This
capacity crowd is on their feet. They're chanting
usa usa I cannot believe it. This is unbelievable.
Oh animals got a oh shelter breaker in the middle
of the ring. Oh and then on puts a Nikita right
into the ring steps oh look out folks he's got
him on his shoulders here he comes this is the
devastating doomsday device and he hits it and
we got one two three this is it folks they're
leading a doom retain their championship belt
and the crowd can't believe it this is unbelievable
this is pair pandemonium tonight oh man start
turning into vince there at the end yeah i don't
need your color commentary for a little bit that
is great stuff there legion of doom reportedly
they're winning the matchup against the russians
uh for the sake of details. Ninety four percent
Legion of Doom. Ninety four percent. That is
the biggest margin of victory. Six percent Russians.
Sorry. There's one Russian fan. Who voted for
the Russians? I'm sorry. I meant to say Donald
Trump. No, Yakov Smirnov. He voted for him. He
would have said, what a Russian. What a Russian.
Yeah, I've asked a couple different times on
the Facebook polls and on the websites like who
voted for certain things and nobody's owning
up to it so Or if it's my friend who's upset
about DX, I don't know but own up to your votes
guys I need explanations rationale for some of
these crazy votes Russians six percent of the
vote. I don't get alternative votes Well, let's
go let's see let's go to work interesting match
up here. How about old school versus new school?
Heart Foundation, the number five seeded Heart
Foundation. That's right, Brett the Hitman Heart
and Jim the Anvil Night Hearts were up against
the 12 seed New Age Outlaws. Badass Billy Gunn
and road dog Jesse James. DJ, this was one that
I wasn't sure how it was going to go. What do
you think the fan said? I have literally no idea
what's gonna happen here because I mean that's
me already said it's the best there is the best
or what's the best there will be versus The ass
man, so I don't know what's going on here. I
don't know what's gonna happen I mean people
like ass, but it's bread heart. I mean screw
job. I mean, I don't know what's gonna happen
I'm gonna I'm gonna say bread heart pulls it
out just by the legacy of this guy I think I
think the heart foundation pulls it out and you
know, you got Jimmy Knight heart is running around
with a freaking megaphone. So Does your tag team
partner agree or disagree with you? Oh, man.
Hmm. It's I mean, you got killer goatees. You
got killer laps. You got killer outfits. You've
got the excellence of execution. Like you said,
you got the mouth is subjecting me hard out there
with the megaphone. But then you got the ass
man. You got the guy who loves to kick him, loves
to stick him, loves to lick him. Whatever he
likes to do with the ass is all up to him. So,
oh, you didn't know your ass you're at your mr.
Ass better call somebody if any It's hard to
go against the the hitman it's really really
tough but uh, you wake outlaws, I mean they um
You know, I might have to hold them doing blackface
against them The other thing that you might hold
against them is how many times they get broken
up and the WWE tried to do single careers with
both people and then they're like, no, let's
put them back together. No, let's tear them apart.
Let's put them back together. I don't know what's
going on. Let's relive our childhood again. I
want to go for the Hart Foundation. Pull it out.
Come on, Brett. You got it. Could we have an
upset here? 12 seed against five seed. Five seed
moving on intruder their seed the Heart Foundation
56 % over the 44 % new age outlaws So just barely
but enough for Brett the hitman art to keep claiming
that he is the best there was the best there
is and the best there ever will be Heart Foundation
moving on Neil thoughts He loves to lick him
he loves to stay I thought we were like moving
into the billy and chuck area for a second. The
only way that our foundation was moving on is
if a black hole appeared out of nowhere and sucked
up red. Or if Vince was sitting ringside. That
was the only way it was going to happen. New
Age Outlaws won the website, but Heart Foundation
overwhelmingly doubled them up on Facebook. So
Heart Foundation, some old classic fans apparently
out there. Just like, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Not happening. Not happening. I like it. I like
it. All right. Let's fly around here. Actually,
we got another, another in -ring. Something's
going on. DJ, are you there? Do you have a tag
team battle going on in your vicinity? Thanks,
Optimus Solo. Welcome back to WWE Geek Down.
We are watching the Bushwhackers, Luke and Butch,
perform their signature dance as they await their
opponents, the Brothers of Destruction. Mama
said stupid is and stupid does, but I don't think
she ever met these two. Oh, wait, wait, here
comes The Undertaker and Kane, the Brothers of
Destruction. Undertaker carrying that urn in
the middle of the ring, kneeling. Holy get up
to the hat. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. The
Bushwackers have cut the undertaker's ceremony
short that Luke has pulled something out of his
pocket that seems to have Frightened the holy
hell out the other ticket. Wait a minute. Is
it it is it's the ring of power from Lord of
the Rings I'm low from the Bushwackers from Peter
Jackson fell New Zealander Undertaker is frozen
Helpless. I can't have no idea what to do Luke
dangles that ring out in front of her mom. No,
wait a second Luke and Butch seem to be Are they
are they fighting over who gets to hold the ring?
We have a genuine Frodo Golem scenario here folks.
They're fighting. They can't see all the other
takers woken up and they can't see him Oh my
god double clothesline the undertaker a bunch
rolled out of the ring in agony The undertaker
grabs Luke's arm. He slugged at the cake grass
choke slam by Kane Undertaker picked up a broken
car gets a look Oh god, it looks like it's gonna
be its last ride time roll away the Mordor one
Two, three, it's over. As soon as it began, the
Brothers of Destruction live up to their names.
You'd think their favorite number would be 666,
but it's 999. The price of their brand new t
-shirts are www .com. Pick them up. Back to you,
Solo. Oh my goodness. So Brothers of Destruction,
the number 23 seed rolling into the top eight.
Matthew Stewart, are you surprised that the Brothers
of Destruction are continuing their role through
this tournament? They have to keep rolling, rolling.
And that's the way it is I know I know you'd
be loving this stuff right here The brothers
of destruction are laying punks out right here.
Oh Well, I guess the head drinker I mean the
head drinkers got some company in the back with
the old bushwhackers They'd be fighting over
that turkey leg in the back and it'd be fantastic.
I want to see those two fight Actually, I think
they'll be Rollicking television and but hey
people like the undertaker even know it's the
worst undertaker But I may be in the minority
for that undertaker. No, you're not I prefer
cult leader Brothers of destruction taking out
the British Bulldogs and the Bushwhackers. We
got all kinds of alliteration going on there
Neils if anything so far we're seeing that the
those upset fan favorite teams like the head
shrinkers and the Bushwhackers not faring well
here in the second round. Bushwhackers even got
votes. That's what surprises me. It's like a
real power man. I'm telling you, one ring to
buy them. Twenty nine percent. You know darn
well that these two teams met. There'd be no
there'd be no chance at all for the Bushwhackers.
Come on. Who did that? Consideration Soran. The
old seeing eye. That is crazy bushwhackers 29
percent, but not enough to beat the brothers
of destruction. So brothers of destruction Moving
on let's go To another one that I don't think
any of us quite knew how it would turn out That
was the number 11 seed Steiner brothers versus
the number 6 seed Hardy boys Brothers on brothers
mmm Steiner brothers Hardy boys. I don't know
what to make brother action here DJ. What did
you think? What did the fans say on this one?
I'm it's gotta be hardy boys. I mean Yeah, I
think the Jeff the ladies love Jeff. That's so
charismatic and the the Steiner's I think are
just I think they might have aged out of this
competition because I mean Jeff still wrestling
right now So yeah, I'm going with the Hardys
all the way Neil if these guys were actually
in the ring both at their prime Who would have
the advantage from a match standpoint style wise
or anything else? Well, you got you got Got Scott
who at the time was more the high flyer and the
risk -taker and then you had brick who was the
brawler I I think Given these two teams at their
time. I think at the prime. I think that That
the Hardys are getting Steiner eyes Wow Neil,
what do you think we got someone saying each
side so far? Star I don't know Yeah, I mean Good
theme song. I mean, I like I like to kind of
like, you know deep like the baseline for like,
you know But I mean like Neil was saying and
if you take them both in their prime, it's like
You know Matt and Jeff flying around doing stuff
that the Rockers kind of did I mean a little
bit better No more high -flying death flying
stuff like that. But man, what if I put in a
ladder in that? I mean if we're doing a you know,
a TLC match or something like that I mean the
Steiner brothers never were any of those high
-risk max mass matches, you know They were always
kind of like they might have fought on the ring
during World War three and stuff like that But
I mean didn't really do anything else besides
that. So ah God, I mean Scott the original, you
know suplex machine and you know, Rick is kind
of barking at the crowd and everything like that.
I mean It's a tough one. Um, I kind of want I
mean, I don't know. Let's go the Hardy boys I
mean, they spell their name incorrectly with
Z at the end. I mean, come on go for it. Why
not? I Mean imagine if you saw like, you know,
like you said, you know, like, you know So Scott
like jumping off like if I saw jump if I saw
Scott jumping off like a titantron This might
change everything. I mean big papa pumps my hookup,
but it can't do it this time I got to go with
the Hardys on this one The point total on this
one percentage wise was 57 to 43 So it was very
close, 57 -43 for the winners. And moving on
to the Elite Eight, your number six seed, Hardy
Boys. 57 % Hardy Boys moving on. All right, that
was a close one. Steiner Brothers just barely
out squeaked them on Facebook, but website, oh,
single -handedly put Hardy Boys into the Elite
Eight. Alright, let's go over to another interesting
matchup I didn't know how this one was gonna
go because I think you could make the argument
that one of these teams Might not have been the
best in -ring technicians at this given point
of their careers, but we'll see let's go with
an eight seed against the nine seed That's the
closest we could get this whole thing. That is
the number nine seeded demolition Against the
number eight seed the outsiders DJ demolition
outsiders. How are people going to vote on this
one? And what would happen in the ring? Outsiders,
you say? Oh, come on. One of them has Scott Hall
and the other one doesn't. That's how this match
goes. Who's got Scott Hall? Oh, I do. I win.
Who's got Crush? Crush never threw a toothpick
in X -Pac's eye. I'm going Scott Hall. Neil,
what do you think? One of these teams is the
most destructive and dominating tag teams of
all time. And the other one is demolition. One
more for the good guys. One more for the good
guys. 59 % to the outsiders. 41 % demolition.
Those that were yearning for the Legion of Doom
versus demolition, you're going to have to wait
for another day, I guess, because this is - Save
your spikes for the Dudleys, my friend. Outsiders.
Outsiders. Moving on. Scott Hall, Kevin Nash.
You can't beat them, can you? I don't know. The
only NWO tag team moving on. That means - There's
only one result left to go over, and yep, this
is happening right in my backyard, guys. What?
Yeah, I am live here, and we are getting ready
for a tag team matchup that you would not believe.
You might call this a dream matchup. We're talking
about one of the most iconic teams in the history
of the WCW, Harlem Heat. against one of the most
iconic teams of the WWE attitude era, Edge and
Christian. Man. People would pay a pretty penny
to see this and we're getting it right now. They're
actually already in the ring guys We have Harlem
Heat and edge and Christian all four of them
inside the ring The bell is actually already
rang but it looks like they're they're trying
to get the crowd on their side They're appealing
to the crowd we have I think I don't know if
they're trying to figure out if it's a WCW crowd
or a WWE crowd But you might call this you might
call this a battle of charisma Harlem Heat Booker
T is doing spinneroonies in the middle of the
ring in the middle of the ring just spinneroonies
We got edge and Christian. They have actually
ascended to the turnbuckles opposite of each
other They're actually trying to get maybe a
height advantage I don't know they're appealing
to the crowd on the west side of the arena and
and I don't know what's going on here guys I
don't know if they're wait a second Booker T
has stopped the spinneroonie mid spinneroonie.
He's he's drop kicked edge off of the turnbuckle
he has dropped edge who had his back to him off
of the turnbuckle he he fell all the way to the
cement floor guys he he didn't get the ropes
there's no crotch shot he actually went over
the turnbuckle all the way down to the cement
floor and i think he may have hit his head on
the cement i don't know oh my god Christian is
over there taking a look i don't know if he's
okay the ref is counting in the ring this needs
to be stopped he's somebody get a medic down
here Edge is not okay. Edge is not okay, guys.
The ref continues to count. We're up to seven.
Somebody stop this. We need a medic. We need
a medic. Booker T is just doing spinneroonies.
The ref, eight, nine. They've counted out Edge
and Christian, guys. What? What? by count out
on this. Get out of here. It's Harlem Heat. I
don't know what just happened, but I think we
got to have some upset fans in the arena, guys,
because this did not last more than a couple
of minutes. I got to send it back to the studio.
Guys, what do you make of this? I don't I don't
I don't believe I don't believe this result is
amazing. Harlem Heat. Harlem Heat. Over Edge
and Christian, 79 percent. It's not even close.
What? I mean, what? Sucker! You sucker! I can't
dig that! Suckers gots to know! Suckers gots
to know how this happened! We come up for you!
We come up for you, Agent Christian! It was like
a 90 % Harlem Heat vote on the website. Is Booker
T a member of the GCRN? What's going on here?
And about a 60 % vote for Harlem Heat on Facebook.
It's not even close, guys. It's 79%, 21%. The
number 2 seed has exited the tournament. Wow!
gone wow i guess i saw edge on that episode of
flash i'm sorry christian your time has not come
was gang brother referee what happened here it
was a bloodbath neil what do you think I think
you actually missed one part where Booker T.
hit Edge with a shampoo bottle, I think. It was
pandemonium. I couldn't even keep track of what
was going on, guys. We were waiting for the match
to begin and all of a sudden it was over. I don't
even know what happened. Someone needed to stop
the damn match. That's a first. For the love
of God win by spinner Rooney, I guess that I
guess they played they maybe they knew they couldn't
beat him So they found a way to outsmart him.
I don't know. The Harlem Heat is moving on and
Booker T's just looking at his hand for some
reason Just looking at his hand. Oh my god. He's
got the five fingers Just looking right into
the camera To know your soul. Oh my goodness.
That might be the shot of the tournament here
right now guys might be Over edge and Christian
I'm shocked. All right, so we're going to the
finals Wow early on we were we were picking them
to win the whole thing and No longer possibility.
They're gonna go out with the bushwhackers and
the head trickers and I guess Jamie Yes, we know
He doesn't think we know him, but we know him
he's a loser You thought you knew that I did
think yeah. All right Let's go through and see
what the result of all this madness is guys because
now we have eight teams left So we're going to
give you guys a chance to weigh in on who you
think should win these matchups. Let's start
with the 13 seeded Brainbusters, who will now
be going up against the fifth seed Heart Foundation.
Brainbusters against the Heart Foundation. DJ,
you start with you here. There's no way Unless
Arn Anderson hacks your website and Facebook
and Twitter that they've come out of here There's
no way. There's no way head shrink or excuse
me the brain busters beat the rockers and the
head shrinkers Heart Foundation took out doom
in an easy early matchup and then took out the
new age outlaws of competition Matthew. What
do you think I mean? You could take our Anderson
spot and I think it will be taken by the Heart
Foundation this time. This is no laughing matter,
but it is a laughing matter. So you're saying
Heart Foundation as well? I am, sir. All right.
You got to be the Heart Foundation. The brain
busters have been busting a lot of heads, but
I think I think Brett's head is just a little
too greasy. They won't be able to get hold of
it. Sharpshooter time. Well, we've already seen
a number two seed exit to the tournament. We've
already seen a number four seed exit the tournament.
So there should be two other teams that have
a good spot to get into the final four. One of
them you would think would be the number one
seed, but maybe they're going to have a tough
match up here. We got the number one seeded Legion
of Doom against the eight seed, the Outsiders.
DJ Ayo Ayo Ayo So this is brings up a question
is it outsiders like in the early times or is
it outsiders later on I don't know if that would
matter or not till some but They weren't real
great at the end in the ring guys. They were
a little rusty, a little old, a little out of
shape, a little drunk, entertaining though, still
entertaining. We got Kevin Nash and Scott Hall
changed the game against Legion of doom by all
accounts. Everybody that we polled as far as
making up this list, a whole lot of them had
Legion of doom ranked number one. Neil does number
one seed belong to Legion of doom or do we have
an upset city coming? I think the outsiders have
taken this. I think they're going to grab Rocco
and start busting everyone's head with it. Spray
paint. Spray paint. Spray paint Rocco. Spray
paint. What do you think, Matt? I mean, look
at it from this perspective. Both tag teams had
their issue with drugs. Scott Hall was drunk.
Why does this match? You had the entire you had
an entire storyline dedicated to who was it?
It was the guy who was purposely trying to addict
what animal he was He so he could be in the Legion
of Doom. He's like that guy's on drugs. I'm gonna
be in the Legion of Doom Can't do that anymore
They took all the fun out of wrestling. So you
can't do story lines like that anymore. So the
only problem is that that was he was fake on
drugs, whereas Scott Hall was really, really
really drunk all the time. They just happened
to take his misery and put it into the storyline,
too, which is amazing. You know, you can't do
that anymore either. But are you all here to
see Legion of Doom? No, you're all here to see
Scott Hall giving Nash. For the record Legion
of Doom the most votes in the second round Yeah,
the most votes easily over everybody else in
the second round, but we're the panel is They
were against the Russians that might be something
to do with it now. They're going against the
outsiders a whole different ballgame We're gonna
have to see who has more legs because they both
had a clean sweep in the first round or road
warriors and outsiders both 100 % of the vote
first round so we're having to Big -time fan
favorites and powerhouses going up against each
other. That'll be interesting and the winner
of that matchup We'll be facing the winner of
the heart foundation versus the brain busters
So that is where we're at on that side of the
bracket Let's flip over to the other side of
the bracket see what's gonna be happening over
there to lead their path to the finals Let's
go with our first matchup, which would be the
upset Kings right now the Harlem Heat Take out
the number two seed edge and Christian. Can they
finally end? The role that the brothers of destruction
ron harlem heat against brothers of destruction
for the record this is an eighteen seed against
a twenty three seed the other teams that have
been posted in this little quadrant would be
edging christian the british bulldogs in the
midnight express all had better seeds matthew
brothers of destruction similar maybe the outsiders
on the other side but they're going up against
the harlem heat just took out edging christian
what do you think harlem heat was. Like sadly
so seated so low I mean you could have easily
made them a much higher seat but they're reaping
the benefits and I think they kind of got rid
of the biggest competition they had when it wasn't
even close was it wasn't even close you know
this is going to be they are going to. Barry
the Brothers of Destruction they're probably
gonna throw Cain back in his house that burned
down because no Undertaker burned it down and
they're gonna make the Undertaker rest in peace
and they're gonna fill another Cement plexiglass
block box with Paul Bearer too. So just for good
measure So, you know throwing it all out there.
So if you could dig it sucker, I see the Harlem
Heat moving on This is an interesting thing here
because Harlem Heat held edge and Christian to
a 21 % vote total in the last round Brothers
of Destruction allowed the Bushwhackers to get
29 % of the vote. We're a joke team. DJ, what
does that mean? I don't know. Math is weird.
I told you, I had a feeling they were going to
ride this wave because they have one of - The
team has the undertaker in it, but I don't think
there's really people who are voting early voting
on the team. And I think the brothers of destruction
might be in trouble this time. Cause if you take
out edge and Christian, I thought it was going
to be edgy Christian versus Dulles in the finals.
But if you take an edge of Christian by not by
a little bit, but by a lot. Christian is a legitimate
tag team brothers of destruction is a again a
blue moon fight So I I don't I don't see how
undertaker Rises from the grave like altered
beings against this one. I don't know what's
gonna happen Neil the brothers of destruction
Harlem heat I don't know what way this is gonna
go. But what do you think? I... Good point about
Harlem Heat being the more veteran tag team over
the Brothers of Destruction, but I think there
might be a double -wide casket in the future
for Harlem Heat next round. The other thing we
gotta see is... Riddle me this. If I change the
picture of Brothers of Destruction... Yeah, you
put the American Badass Brothers of Destruction,
it's gonna be a 99 .01. Please do it. I just
wanna see. Let's do a social experiment. with
a red Yankees cap on just for good measure. How
about this other matchup that we have left on
this side, which has got to be one of the more
intriguing matchups we've had over the whole
course of this tournament. We're talking about
a sixth seed against a three seed. So just like
last round, we had the nine and the eight demolition
versus outsiders. That was the closest last round.
The closest this round is the three and the six.
And that would be the Dudley boys against the
Hardy boys. Well, we've seen that 17 million
times in real life. So DJ, seeing this one actually
happen, what do you think is going to play out
here? I don't know if anybody really paid attention,
and they should have, to what Neil said about
their pedigree. The Dudleys have done it all.
All of it. Everywhere. At all times. So I think
they should, me personally, kill the Hardy Boys.
Again, like I say, the ladies love Jeff and this,
I mean, the Dudley boys, they're, they're bad
asses, but they're not lookers. So I don't know
if, uh, I don't, I, I, I just, I don't see how
the Dudley boys would, would even be, you know,
scared of the Hardy boys. I'm thinking it's going
to be Dudley's, uh, in, are they in the same
bracket with the, with the heart foundation?
That's who I see is the, the, should it be the
Dudley's biggest competition, not at edgy Christian
or gone. I'm riding that Dudley boys bandwagon
all the way to the finals, man. I'm riding a
horse. I got the flag and everything. You're
booking two tickets to Dudleyville. Dudleyville,
oh my God. I got a swampland I bought. I got
a little hotel area I'm staying at. I got the
wife in there. I got some family stuff going
on. Dudleyville is where you'll find me. The
Legion of Doom might have gotten the most votes
in this last round. Dudley boys got the second
most votes. Um, so that was their path so far.
They've taken out the public enemy and the fabulous
free birds. So maybe they haven't spent too much
energy yet. Maybe they still got a lot left in
the tank. Party boys on the other hand have had
to go through the nasty boys and the Steiner.
Boys, let's just keep going with that. No, I
know. So they might have had maybe the Hardy
Boys don't have as much left after two grueling
matchups, especially last round against the Steiners.
Neil, does that play into it? I don't know. Well,
I'll tell you this. Like DJ just said, the number
of belts that these guys have held, the Dudley
boys, that's gotta count for something. I mean,
the only chance, I think the only chance the
Hardy boys have is if the Dudley boys are too
winded from carrying all those belts to the ring.
They're so heavy. Oh my God. All these accomplishments
we made just wore us out. I don't think the Hardys
are gonna have a good time in this. I think it's
Dudley all the way. It's interesting if we were
going about like the which two teams out there
in the whole tournament have had the most belts
and the most prestige and the most Accomplishments
then what we should see in the finals as legion
of doom versus the Dudley boys That's the two
teams that have probably had the most success
over their careers that would obviously take
a lot of things to happen So interesting matches
here. I'm just gonna run them down one more time
We have the legion of doom against the outsiders
brain busters against the heart foundation Harlem
Heat against the Brothers of Destruction and
Dudley Boys against the Hardy Boys. In a quick
second, I'm going to ask you guys your take on
those eight and who now your favorites are to
reach the finals. But I just want to throw out
this little nugget here. There is a chance, there
is a chance if the voting were to go a certain
way, that in the final four, we could have the
Outsiders flying the NWO flag. We could have
the Heart Foundation flying the WWF flag. We
could have the Dudley boys representing ECW and
Harlem Heat representing WCW. So that would be
intriguing to me. Obviously, some other teams
would like to put a stop to that with the Legion
of Doom and the Brothers of Destruction and the
Hardy Boys. The other guys with other flags.
We got shoulder pads. I mean, we also could end
up with an all WWF. Final four that could also
happen. So, um, I don't know looking at the bracket
looking at what's happened so far first off Let's
take a quick parting shot to the ones that are
leaving us and see if there's any surprises or
or last words for these guys So the russians
out demolition out the head shrinkers out the
new age outlaws taking an exit The fabulous free
birds out the bushwhackers out the steiner brothers
out and edging christian out None of them able
to make it to the top eight dj. What do you think
about those that are leaving? Will remember you
Will you remember to see edging Christians faces
and a black -and -white thing on the titan -tron
I don't believe edgy Christian are gone. I don't
know what this is essentially a pandemonium jr.
Would lose his had the king would Faints I just
picture Vince McMahon in the ring fainting backwards
like what what's going on here? So I don't I
don't know what's gonna happen there The bushwhackers
yay, Russian leg sweep. See ya but edging Christian.
I Don't I don't know man How how did that do
this be for Rooney did he win by believe be for
Rooney beat him? I don't understand how this
happened. There's only you didn't just say that
Tell me! Matt, when we started this whole thing,
if I would have told you that Demolition, New
Age Outlaws, Edge and Christian, and Steiner
Brothers, that none of them would make it to
the final eight, would you have believed that?
Anything could happen in a WWF, Kevin! I'll have
to say about that. Good God Almighty! I guess
there's only room for one, like... post -apocalyptic
tag team, which is fine. You know, you can't
have one. You can't have Samoan head drinkers
running around the ring. You can't have nutty
New Zealanders with missing teeth running around.
You can't have a guy who loves to lick, kiss
and bite ass along with a road dog. And you can't
have, you know, Ed and Christian, your time is
up. It's over. You know, but. And the Steiner
line is, you know, run its course. And the free
birds, you know, free birds, bye bye. You know,
it's like the new day's better. I said it, the
new day's better than the fabulous free birds.
Where's the new day on this list? That was my
impression of the internet, sorry. I like it,
I like it. I would not have predicted the Brothers
of Destruction to still be alive and the Brain
Busters to still be alive. Well, when you're
still when you're fighting the Bushwhackers in
this round, I mean, come back to the structure.
They had the ring of power. The Brothers of Destruction.
It's not the it's not the second round matchup.
That's the surprise there. It's still the surprise
that they beat the British Bulldogs to me. That
was a close one. That was that was closer than
a lot of people thought. So and that we never
got our matchup with the Rock and Roll Express
and the Rockers. The Brain Busters put a stop
to that, guys. Neil, what's your thought on the
field as it remains? Well the next Next next
episode is gonna be pretty exciting considering
what we have left a little sad to see the Steiner's
go Edge and Christian I kind of see that that
slow -motion montage leave the memories alone
They're doing that See you guys one last pose
for the fans DJ I know you've been championing
the Dudley boys from the beginning Is there any
ounce of you that thinks that based on this last
matchup that Harlem Heat may run the table? Anything
is possible at this point I think there's a Harlem
Heat contingent that I did not calculate into
my Calculations, I don't know is this is crazy
I still don't understand what happened a spinner
Rooney then a drop kick Didn't hit my head on
the pavement and they're gone Christians cool
glasses all three of them are gone Crazy. I'm
broke. It was a nutty match It was a crazy match.
And you were there for Kevin. I was there and
I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't believe
my eyes. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
I didn't even realize the match had started.
You had a turnbuckle in your backyard. I didn't
think that was good. Edge unconscious. I don't
even know if he's gotten up yet. I guess he might
be dead. They might need Gangrel and the Brood
and everybody else. They might need Papa Shongo
to pick him up. Papa Shongo. There we go. Checking
in on the Vegas odds real quick, guys. They have
The Brain Busters at the lowest odds of winning
this thing out of out of the whole group here.
So not good odds from Vegas on the Brain Busters.
It looks like Brothers of Destruction. Not good
odds for them either, says the Vegas is stating
that their reign is going to come to an end here.
They had a nice run, but it's going to be soon
over. Looks like we got high odds on the Dudley
boys. And right after that, it's interesting
because Legion of Doom and the Outsiders are
facing each other, but they both have really
good odds. Looks like the winner of that one,
Vegas, is favoring as well. So I have to wait
and see how that plays out. So what's going to
happen, guys? a little bit shorter time to vote
this time. So you're only gonna basically have
the weekend. So this episode, when you're listening
to it, you gotta go vote immediately. Just a
couple days to vote. You can go to vote by going

right X vote here. So that's what's happening
as of this point. When we come back next time,

we're getting close to the final actual finals
