Man, that Kanyon episode is going to destroy me but at the same time I'm excited for my partner to learn about him because he was always one of my favorites.

They did it – they created a show I'd actually be interested in and didn't put it on the Network/Peacock, but they went and gave it the two most insufferable dipshit hosts they could fathom.

quote:

“WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures” takes viewers on a journey to find some of WWE’s most iconic, lost memorabilia. In each of the nine episodes, WWE’s Stephanie McMahon and Paul “Triple H” Levesque lead a team of collectors, WWE Superstars and Legends as they investigate, negotiate, bid and travel across the country to hunt down and reclaim some of the most elusive WWE collectibles. Throughout history, WWE’s action-packed storylines have spawned iconic, one-of-a-kind memorabilia, most of which have gone missing. Superstar in training, AJ Francis will head out on the road alongside some of the most famous WWE Legends of all time including The Undertaker, Ric Flair, Charlotte Flair, Mick Foley, Kane, Big Show, Mark Henry, Jerry “The King” Lawler, Booker T, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Sgt. Slaughter. The series will unearth these rare items in the hopes of preserving and sharing the legacy behind the memorable moments in WWE history.

Maybe they'll only be loosely involved as hosts at the beginning and end of each episode. Interesting to note that Jake Roberts is named as being a guest on the show. Was this shot like 5 years ago and they're just getting around to putting it somewhere now?

If there was ever a show outside of his youtube show that Zack Ryder was born to host it's this one. What awful timing and host choices.

Didn't he pitch a show like this or some kind of action figure show, get turned down, then eventuality released?

I imagine he and Meyers wanted to basically turn their figure hunting stuff into a whole show which I would absolutely have watched. Anything related to collecting old wrestling junk is basically a guaranteed watch for me.

Now that they’re out on their own, Cardona and Myers actually do this on their YouTube channel. It’s funny to see Cardona get all itchy about figs. Latest episode he ended up buying a bunch of maximum sweat figs.

I was a big fan of the time he bought an old AWA ring and the canvas had a tear in it. Just silly poo poo.

They're not even going to "find" anything. They'll pick poo poo out of the warehouse and bring it to different retired legends/stunt grannies/whatever pre-selected/scouted shooting locations and then film it. Close to how American Pickers does it except nobody's going to make any money selling something back to the company.

Yeah but the stuff in the warehouse is still all very cool

Yeah, guys like Hall, Jake Roberts, and Billy Gunn come to mind as dudes who are actually gargantuan but were made to look normal in the WWF because everyone was always massive. There's no way in my mind, growing up, that I would have ever thought Jake Roberts was 6'6" (not sure if that's is true height or worked height, but he's a tall dude either way).

I think it's (from left to right)
Stephanie

Slaughter
??? Maybe Sable? She's kind of opposite Mero so maybe it's just weird positioning here. Plus she has kind of a leopard print choker on which would go with the "Wild Man" gimmick and music Mero had.
Jarrett?
Will Sasso as Steve Austin
Owen
Savio Vega
Davey Boy (I thought his positioning was also weird, but he's opposite Neidhart in the same row and the rest of the Hart Foundation between them)
Regal

In that case, they'll release him one day before his contract runs out so he still gets hit with the 90-day no-compete clause.

In the right hands this could be handled really well and be a great piece of a storyline but, unfortunately, everything is in literally all of the wrong hands.

Do you think if Orton punts him again he'll go back to Husky Harris? Is this like a cartoon where you get hit on the head to lose your memory and get hit on the head again to bring it back?

Isn't there like zero military interaction with those shows now? Used to be they'd fly over to a base or whatever and do a show. Now they're just regular shows like Raw or Smackdown, aren't they?

I wonder if Michael Cole would ever leave WWE at this point, and if he'd be able to escape his history of being reviled. I think we all (or mostly) agree that he can obviously be good when Vince isn't in his ear and I'd be interested in hearing him work when it's outside of an entirely soul-crushing, demeaning company of fools.

I never blame Michael Cole for the bad commentary. I can only imagine what sort of nightmare it is to have Vince constantly spouting utter shite in your ear.

Yeah, after hearing that he could actually be good I stopped being able to really poo poo on him. The Heel Cole storyline sucked because it ran on too long but it started in a fun place – as with everything else, though, they ran it into the ground and it made the show insufferable to listen to for a long, long time.

If he ever leaves and wants to tell some stories, I'm sure he's got some wild ones to tell.

There's a weird glitch in the Hogan clip and I can't tell if it's edited to make it sound insane or if he actually said that, because I can't think of any reason he'd say "I'm gonna get off by cranking your knob" other than "cocaine" but even still.
