Hogan was definitely doing a line as uncle Alfred walked into his locker room.
The Repo Man intro theme kinda goes hard, he also gives me Hamburglar vibes
I loved the repo man as a kid. Don't know why. I saw British Bulldog beat him at a house show once. All I remember is repo man skulking around outside the ring and Britsh Bulldog chasing him.
Hamburglar vibes, exactly! I loved Repo Man as a kid, precisely because he was so cheesy. I did GCSE drama at school in the late 90s and one of our tasks was to devise and perform a show for a group of nursery kids and I played the villain, who I heavily based on Repo Man. I really hammed it up and used a lot of his mannerisms, the laugh etc, thinking the kids would get the Hamburglar vibes... nope. I absolutely terrified the lot of them.
And you should avoid him like The Noid
No, the Hamburglar is The Hurricane.
I was born in 2000, but my dad and uncle made sure I grew up on a lot of 80s and 90s pop culture, including wrestling. Heenan might just be my favorite wrestling personality of all time. I LOVE the guy. I will happily watch every episode of Prime Time on the Network just for Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon. They are the happiest of happy places in wrestling to me, and I could listen to them talking 24/7.
As a Northern English lad, hearing the very Manchester accented Davey Boy Smith call London his hometown made me feel disgusted. Cracking content, as always and, holy fuck, Heenan was so good!
Damn near spat aht me pie
This is currently my very favorite wrestling channel in all of CZcams.
I can be a real tough customer w/ my choice of media, but you're one of the few who consistently manage to make me crack a smile.
Hope you guys never stop anytime soon
These dudes are so ridiculously funny to me. I smile every time I see a new video, because I know they are about to make me laugh my ass off
I find myself laughing out loud at their commentary 😅
Is it the 2 guys from Cultaholic ?
@@DarkLordofTheSith69 no, Its Marc Haynes and Pete Donaldson. Im american so I don't really listen to the BBC, but apparently Marc has done lots of work on BBC 6 Music for years
@@ThePoisonMist it sounds like Pete and Adam from Cultaholic
Davey Boy gives promos like English isn’t his first language
Hahahahah 😂😂😂
"C'mon, suck on that weed"... That weasel, man. What a character.
With a tear in my eye.....
You can see Vince break out laughing by Bobby's joke.
Miss “The Brain.” I’m one of the biggest Paul Heyman marks there is. I still believe I’d put Bobby Heenan is the greatest wrestling manager of all time. He was so much more than a manager.
This Royal Rumble is probably the best performance of Ric Flair and Bobby Heenans career. You could hear the desperation in Heenans voice throughout the whole Rumble and not forgetting mocking Piper by saying "it's a skirt, not a kilt" and then back tracking saying "it's a kilt, not a skirt" when Piper was teaming up with Flair
Flair/Steamboat Flair/Jumbo both beg to differ.
Slick and Commies, Jameson and Bushwackers. 80's WWF showed anyone could be friends despite their differences
Anyone can be friends, as long as they are crude stereotypes 😅😅
@@swfcocs1 like having a pint in the Forty Foot, intit?
It looks like Barry Darsow was having a blast as Repo Man.
Darsow (just like his Demolition partner Bill Eadie) has always been a true professional any promotion could rely on and a guy who would give his all to make even the worst gimmick work. Sadly, after Krusher Darsow and Demolition Smash, neither WWF nor WCW had any good ideas for him.
@@KomradeKrusher With Bill Eadie my favorite gimmick of his was The Masked Superstar. I didn't much care for Barry Darsow's gimmicks.
Heenan was the best. I appreciate him so much more as an adult and seeing how good he was instead of hating him for being the heel manager/commentator.
In Repo Man's defense, he was pretty up there among the cosmos of wacky characters. The jacket with tire treads on it was cool, the weasely voice was pretty damn appropriate.
He did everything right, but there was a mountain to climb to make that gimmick appealing, and I'm not sure anyone could have done it
The Legion of dooms spikes most certainly detach. Back in the NWA they turned heel on Dusty Rhodes. Animal popped one of them off and carved a hole in Dusty’s head.😮
The Road Warriors spikes do unscrew from their shoulder pads. Reference the time they unscrewed one from their shoulder pads to stick it in Dusty Rhodes’ eye. This is the famous incident that got Rhodes fired from WCW so he could go to WWF.
The Road Warrior unscrewed a spike to beat Dusty Rhodes in the face with in NWA. It’s actually my first memory of seeing pro rasslin’. I was at my uncle’s when it happened and stood frozen in front of the television until he started screaming at me to “get out of the way!”
Aww, i was gonna point that out. Great story!
Jameson is probably what Vince Mcmahon thinks of his fans
This is such a great channel.. laughing almost the entire video. keep up the great work guys!!
3:00 So funny that for all the punches and kicks TRW could hit Ric Flair with, Hawk implicitly threatens the KING OF CROTCH SHOTS with a crotch shot.
Jamieson was a character type actor out of NY , that Vince just liked for some reason. Heenan talked about him in a 2003 shoot.
Just watched a interview with him. Vince saw him at a Murder Mystery show and thought he was funny.
There’s a CZcams video of Jamison being interviewed over the computer and he’s smoking a joint during the interview.
Yes. The Spikes unscrew. They did an angle in 88 or 89 where they turned Heel and Animal unscrewed one of the spikes and "Gouged out one of Dusty's Eye".
The crowd still cheered them though, I don't think they could have done anything then to turn them heel
Big Dust got fired for that angle....TBS said NO BLOOD, so Dusty said YES BLOOD.
Rowdy piper tells a story on a shoot interview about how Lord Alfred has very well hung. And how he would rib the boys by seeking up behind them and putting his willy in there hands. I spat my tea out watching it lol
the way men socialise never ceases to astound or baffle me
davy boy smith, thicker than a safe door
There is a shoot interview out there where Road Warrior Animal explains how he made the original shoulder pads in his garage with a drill and i believe the original ones were drilled in from the bottom side but as they started having more sets made for them the newer style spikes unscrew from the pads so they can be replaced.
Hogan responding to Lord Alfred is the funniest I've ever seen Hogan be at least intentionally? 😆
Yes the spikes are removable, animal talked about it in his book. Also in wcw they used one to kayfabe attack stings eye with in 80s wcw/nwa
hahahaha "ima go off in me pants"
7:27 Repoman is what happens when the Hamburglar decides he wants to wrestle... truly a high light from my childhood lol
Could you imagine the potential of a Bobby Heenan/Mean Gene podcast ?!
I loved Repo Man as a kid. I even went as him for Halloween when I was in third grade. Not a single person knew what the hell I was dressed up as.
I loved him too as a kid. And for some reason I loved IRS lol
Ahead of y’all times lol
' london, england, my home toon'
13:24 Hogan seemed Really REALLY happy for some reason lol
When i went to the WWF wrestling in the very early 90s in Glasgow SECC as a 5 year-old i got a foam L.O.D spiked shoulder pads and a bandanna ❤
Repo Man arrives by bike while a young Hyper Misao takes notes
I love this show. I have to get my little ones school trip squared away and I am going to join Patreon.
I had this on VHS. I wore it out. I watched it so many times. Love it. 😂
Come to the Royal Halberd Hall and see Europe's most extensive collection of things that aren't quite spears or axes.
Too expensive for me. I heard the bills massive.
Saw ya on boctch a mania. Welll done
Everytime I rewatch RR 92 I root for Repo, hoping that this will be the time he wins, finally setting the entire timeline back to normal.
When I heard Barry say Repo Man was his idea, not Vince or Patterson🤫😂
As an aging punk rocker, I know that most smaller spikes (like you'd find in a spiked collar etc.) are screw on. In fact, I often buy a bunch of spikes and dog collars then customize my own collars/wristbands to sell for people. I'd imagine the bigger spikes work similarly.
I would hope so. Imagine trying to get through an airport with those things in your luggage.
@@MD-on9fi I've been given shit just for having a small spiked collar in my luggage, so yeah - that wouldn't be fun lol
The Road Warriors spikes were steel and screwed in place. They unscrewed one to wound Dusty Rhodes’ eye in the NWA.
Jamieson was a guy who quite wall street and became a comedian that Vince saw perform at a Murder Mystery dinner show.
Jonn Du Acommo ... or something similar... 91' locker room loved him
I think the spikes on LODs shoulder pads are the outer sleeves of cornetos and they replace them before each show
Amazing WWE network product placement 👌
I’ve run out of videos I need the patreon. A Lord Alfred Hayes retrospective would be the funniest shit ever.
The Repo Man vs The Hurricane in a mask vs mask!!!
Heenan could've been the USA Michael Barrymore. Entertaining feisty grannies. On an unrelated note, Heenan had a nice swimming pool
Would love if you guys made playlists for each event. It’d make binge watching the channel much easier. Love the videos
Been watching BH shoot interviews. He is just as funny and makes it clear over and over that the business as he knew it was done. He was all about making money and entertainment. Interesting guy.
0:22 as a kid in the early 90’s The Bush Wackers were Gods amung men 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was 8 lol
Alfred Hayes was a strange interviewer/commentator, when he commentated or was in a live environment he seemed to struggle with confidence. But when you see him at the end of the Bobby Heenan show being the host he was actually really good and spoke with conviction.
He looked at whoever he was interviewing as if he was in love with them especially Hogan
Loved the episode hilarious stuff as always look forward to every single upload and than you for filling my much needed Saturday night writing fix 😍😍
If anyone could murder Haku, it would be Lord Alfred Hayes, and it would be most graphic delimbing/disemboweling in history since Jack the Ripper. It wouldn't be done maliciously however, rather it would just be to satiate Lord Al's morbid curiosities. There would be a chilling, disconnected, child-like wonder in his eyes, as he slowly disassembled Haku.
Fascinatingly, Jameson's son was the kid who sang "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" at John Cena before his match with Bray Wyatt at Extreme Rules. Jameson (John DiGiacomo) said that it happened independently of him having done stuff for WWE in the past, it just came about through his son's agent.
Gorilla monsoon and Bobby heenan was so amazing together. They were so good when i was a kid but the older i get and the more i watch them, the more better they get and some jokes get other meanings too! The fed commentary wasnt as good when gorilla stopped and Bobby moved over to wcw! Bobby was still as awesome but something seemed missing cus nobody could keep up with him!!
Great comment! I could not agree more!
9:22 “The hallowed halls of the Royal Halbert Hall” 😂 Problem was Davey said too many words beginning with the letter "H" and he got all mixed up and said Halbert instead of Albert. When he says Royal Halbert Hall I heard laughter now I’m not sure if that was the people behind the camera or if it was Wrestle Me lads
Very good video upload funny as hell to cheers again 👍great royal rumble got this one on tagged classics brill
They should have had a segment where Flair flips out after drawing #3. Then later he and Heenan present the number they drew to Jack Tunney and it says 30. But its obvious Heennan added a 0 with a sharpie. Then the actual #30 (Warlord) confronts them and they run off scared shitless.
On the Coliseum Video version , Flair is interviewed before he goes out. He tells Alfred that has he drawn number 3. But Flair is completely calm and subdued.
Excellent. Very well done. You've got the skills and I wouldn't be surprised if you start doing this as source of income on other cars.
10:03 The guy Dave Boy is wrestling here looks like The Tiger King.
Osw knew who jamison was !! Cmon boys do ya re search ...he was a murder mystery actor on a night mcman attended
Vice is always helming. He can't help himself, a certified helm.
RepoMan was clearly the inspiration for Swiper from Dora. LOL
The story of Jamison was this comedian that Vince McMahon saw live and loved and hired the guy.
11:30 It was cool...they were showing this guy right before Bulldogs music hit..then when it hit..he lifts up his Bulldog sign..It was kinda cool and right on que
I remember watching this RR when it happened. I saw the clip where Ric Flair reveals his number, but when he comes out, the commentators act surprised.
Thanks for curing depression.
Fantastic Videos! Brings back so many memories. Do you happen to have any commentary on when Roddy Piper got beat up by the NWO then started spewing Gaelic while being carried away on a stretcher?
Davey sounds like he's trying to figure out how to speak in Rabbie Burns
I remember the stabbing you mentioned happened in my hometown of Peoria, Illinois.
This took a turn.
3:25 the spikes are screwed. They took one out when they almost take out Dusty Rhodes eyes in a NWA match.
Oh shit they have Heather Hunter in her prime on the sofa! Around the 2:30 mark.
The Brain is probably one of the best heel managers of his generation and every follow up generation heel manager looked at him for inspiration because if they could do only a quarter of what he did and only half as good they have accomplished something
This was very funny
Jamison is Tony Kahn.
brillant guys make laugh so much
😂 Davey boy
I think the spikes were screwed. Trying to remember the Dusty spike attack. Guess I'm watching that next.
Hallowed halls of the royal Albert hall was a rib 😂
Rr 92, bobby heenans finest hour absolutely... THIS IS NOT FAIR TO FLAIR!!!! gahahahahaha
Not sure about how LOD traveled with the spikes, but I do know they unscrew. They took one off and attacked Dusty Rhodes once.
When the Berserka threw Jameson off the roof, and the next segment Jameson is on a strecther reeling in pain, that was the only funny thing to come from the Jameson character.
I'm fairly certain the NWA ran an angle where someone, probably a Horseman, unscrewed one of the spikes to attack either one of the Road Warriors or Dusty.
They spiked Dusty's "eye". Then the suits kicked Dusty out because of a "no blood" policy at the time. You can't make that stuff up.
The Road Warriors turned heel and unscrewed one of the spikes and attempted to gouge Dusty's eye out.
@@markevans7937 So I was in the ballpark!
@@jeyfromnowhere yeah, you were there, lol
"KANT"
Meanwhile Davey Boy Smith probably lived half his life in Alberta.
The spikes come off; they stabbed Dusty in the eye with one of those spikes.
That old grannie should be on cigerette packets.
I always thought it was funny that he had Heather Hunter on his show and nobody even batted an eye
Bobby Heenan will always be # 1. Read this in 3016 and i bet you nobody came close to Bobby H
He was a comedian that Vince McMahon saw in New York
For whatever reason, I genuinely was a Repo Man fan back when I was a kid (I was born in 85, so I was what, 8 or so?). I find the more recent, mostly-ironic Repo Man fandom (which seems to have been started by Whatculture's Simon Miller) really funny, since I honestly did really like the character as a child. I don't even know quite what it was, I just found him funny I guess. For a child, I seemed to go against the grain and like heels pretty often - Of course, I loved Undertaker and Papa Shango (i was obsessed with halloween back then - no wonder i grew up to be a weirdo goth/punk dude lol), but I also loved the O.G., "blue blood" version of Hunter Hearst Helmsley and would do his weird lil bow/curtsy thing when play wrestling friends lol
I loved repo man and IRS of all people lol
1:42 Bobby getting Vince to corpse :)
You guys are fuckin crazy. I love it
When I hear the name Ricochet I remember Repo man both having a nearly similar name 😂
Their spikes I believe un screw to remove them
Fyi "Jameson " was real actor, and has a son. Wwe recently did a where are they now about 3 years ago.
