    Weirdest Episode with Jack The Jobber is probably my favorite stuff on Cultaholic. Even better than that time Pacitti had to take a 17 hour bus ride, which is gold.

    Fun fact with the "Shut up juice" line, it was written by a former writer from Late Night with Conan O'Brien named Tommy Blacha, which was inspired by something Conan used to say as a joke in the writer's room. Per Conan on The Howard Stern Show:
    "One of my put-downs that I came up with that was so stupid but I liked it was I told, if a writer was going on or said something I didn't like, I'd say 'why don't you go have a nice tall glass of shut up juice.' (...) It was such a stupid put-down but Tommy liked it. And then Tommy said watch the match this weekend and it was The Rock [saying the catchphrase] and the crowd went crazy. Then the next week Tommy said check this out, so I turn in that match, people are holding up signs that say 'drink some shut up juice.'"
    Kinda funny coincidence there with that being said on the same show that Conan's sidekick Andy Richter appeared on.

    My favorite camera shot in all of wrestling is Jeff flying from out of nowhere through the table as D-Von rolls out of the way. It’s just perfect and made my little heart squeal as a child. This show was so much fun to watch back then (minus the women’s thing, that was weird then and worse now), and one of my favorite sets ever, I always picked it on No Mercy back then.
    Edit: hot take I think The Rock back in the attitude era could’ve made “suffering succotash” get over

    • @Al7249

  • @jodawa2504
    @jodawa2504 Před 3 měsíci +1

    I'm with you on the defense of Triple H's "My Time" entrance theme, Jack. Triple H didn't even use that theme for very long(I think that "My Time" was used probably for a year and a half, if not almost a year and a half before he switched to using "The Game" by Motorhead in November 2000 before Survivor Series). "My Time" is totally underrated. I loved that theme back in the Attitude Era & I still love it now! It's a major nostalgic trip to the Nintendo 64 video game WWF No Mercy

    Chokes aren’t really “legal” in pro wrestling. That’s why refs always looked at and checked the arm placement of anyone doing a sleeper hold on anyone to make sure they didn’t turn it into a choke. These rules were kinda forgotten about as UFC became popular.
