Podcast appearances and mentions of Shawn Michaels

Shot of Nostalgia: Shuffle continues with your host Acefield Retro, and this week we revisit April 4, 1993, WrestleMania IX from Caesars Palace in Paradise, Nevada. The first fully outdoor WrestleMania. The World's Largest Toga Party. A Roman coliseum theme complete with live animals, trumpeters, and commentators fully committed to the presentation. But beyond the spectacle, this event represents a pivot. This episode traces the road into WrestleMania IX through the March and April 1993 Wrestling Observer Newsletter coverage, capturing a company navigating lawsuits, scrutiny, roster instability, and mounting pressure. Bret Hart entered as WWF Champion. Yokozuna had been elevated as the dominant Royal Rumble winner. Hulk Hogan had returned, but his long term direction was fluid rather than locked in. The structure of the card reflects that instability. Shawn Michaels versus Tatanka opens with an Intercontinental Championship match that creates movement without definitive closure, immediately signaling protection over payoff. The Steiner Brothers versus the Headshrinkers provide one of the night's most cohesive in ring performances, reinforcing how effective the tag division could be when execution was clean. Doink versus Crush leans heavily into character psychology and spectacle, highlighted by the double Doink finish. We examine the originally planned mechanical stunt that was scrapped and what that decision says about the era's emphasis on visual moments. Razor Ramon secures a direct win over Bob Backlund, continuing his steady rise. The Tag Team Championship match between Money Inc. and the Mega Maniacs unfolds through referee bumps, disqualification tension, and spectacle driven pacing. We revisit the reported late reshuffling that removed the originally planned tag title blow off and centered Hogan more prominently on the card. Lex Luger's WrestleMania debut against Mr. Perfect introduces rope leverage controversy and is layered with behind the scenes anecdotes that contribute to the uneven rhythm of the night. The Undertaker versus Giant Gonzalez becomes one of the most criticized finishes in WrestleMania history, prioritizing theatricality over decisive resolution. The championship picture ultimately defines the event. Bret Hart versus Yokozuna is framed as a generational collision until Mr. Fuji's salt interference shifts the WWF Championship. Moments later, Hulk Hogan enters, accepts an impromptu challenge, and captures the title in approximately twenty seconds. With three decades of hindsight, this episode examines whether that closing decision reflects creative confusion or calculated business pragmatism. The Observer context suggests urgency. The optics suggest an audible. The result reshaped Bret Hart's reign, altered Yokozuna's trajectory, and placed Hogan back on top during a volatile moment for the company. WrestleMania IX is remembered for its ending. It deserves to be studied for what it reveals about transition, pressure, and how quickly direction can change when stability becomes the priority.

Mark and Sam are joined by Jack Whitehall. They get into British pub culture vs. American drinking, darts legends who need vodka to compete, ultra marathons by accident, filming awkward sex scenes, reality show meltdowns, food influencers drowning everything in gravy, and why Shawn Michaels might be the greatest performer of all time. Jack's new show The Burbs is now streaming on Peacock. Inspired by the cult classic film, the series follows a couple who move into a seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood that quickly reveals some very dark and very funny secrets. It's a twisted murder-comedy with a stacked ensemble cast, sharp writing, and that perfect mix of suburban paranoia and absurdity. If you like mystery with your jokes and chaos behind white picket fences, The Burbs is for you.

Kissy Face, Drop Hips & Royal Rumble Glory | The FigGuys #090Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.On this episode of The FigGuys, the wrestling figure podcast for collectors and fans, Mike and Tom dive deep into the WWE Ultimate Edition Shawn Michaels figure, inspired by HBK's legendary Royal Rumble 1995 victory. From Ultimate Edition articulation and head sculpts to wrestling nostalgia and modern collecting debates, this episode breaks down why this Shawn Michaels release matters — and how it stacks up among the best WWE Mattel figures today.If you're a Shawn Michaels fan, this episode is for you.If you're an Ultimate Edition collector, this episode is definitely for you.Mike and Tom break down what makes this release hit differently, from the unmistakable zebra-print entrance gear to the personality packed into the head sculpts — including the now-legendary “Kissy Face” HBK. It's not just about how the figure looks, but how it poses, how it displays, and whether it finally feels like the right Shawn Michaels body choice in Ultimate form.The discussion leans into the real collector debates: • Are drop hips actually a win for posing? • Which hands matter most when displaying HBK? • Does this release feel like a true legacy Ultimate, or just another great Shawn? • And where does it rank among modern Ultimate Editions?Royal Rumble energy flows through the episode as well, keeping the conversation loose, funny, and unmistakably FigGuys — the kind of talk that feels like hanging out with friends who know exactly why this era of HBK still matters.Then it's time for Ringside Roundup, where the guys hit the latest pre-orders, sellouts, and surprises across the hobby. From hot Ultimate Editions and Legends waves to short-packed Main Event figures, the takes stay honest — including a rare “Passhausen” moment that had the chat buzzing.The episode also gives some love to the Regium Raven head sculpt reveal, earning praise for how close it's already looking, plus a little collector humor along the way — “Quoteth the Mitch Nevermore…” included.And of course, it wouldn't be a FigGuys episode without showing respect to the Big Rubber Guys — including that undeniable shelf presence and ongoing appreciation for the Macho Man Big Rubber Guy, a reminder that sometimes size, nostalgia, and vibe matter just as much as articulation.This episode isn't about hype for hype's sake.It's about why certain figures matter, how they represent eras, and what makes a release feel like more than just another preorder.⸻

Shot of Nostalgia: The SmackDown Six Era rolls on with your host Acefield Retro, and this week we're stepping into one of the heaviest, most emotionally loaded chapters of the whole project. Episode 7: The Legacy Run covers January through March 2004 — the stretch where the SmackDown Six philosophy stops being "just" a great TV formula and becomes the backbone of WWE's entire main-event scene. Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, the two workhorses who defined this era between the ropes, finally break through the ceiling and hit the very top of the industry at the exact same time. We start at the 2004 Royal Rumble, a one-match show that actually delivers exactly what WWE needed. Paul Heyman stacks the deck, forces Benoit into the #1 slot, and dares him to fail. Instead, Benoit puts together a marathon performance: 61 minutes, six eliminations, and a finish built around pure will, dragging Big Show over the top rope in a head-and-arm choke that feels earned instead of cute. Along the way we hit all the key beats that made this Rumble feel alive in the building — Orton's elevation through the Foley feud, Goldberg getting robbed by Brock, Big Show as a real "final boss," and the sense that for once, the obvious story actually got the right payoff. From there, we turn to No Way Out 2004, where Eddie Guerrero walks into San Francisco with three weeks of build… and a lifetime of baggage. We walk through how a thrown-together title program becomes a full redemption story: the SmackDown Rumble that sends Eddie to the title shot, the promo duel where Brock mocks his addictions and Eddie weaponizes his own past, and the infamous mariachi "celebration" that starts as comedy and turns into something dead serious. Then we break down the match itself as a heavyweight title fight built on structure and psychology — Brock's 2002 monster template, Eddie chopping down the base, the STF that flips the crowd from hopeful to believing, Goldberg's spear that protects the champion without stealing Eddie's moment, and the DDT-onto-the-belt into Frog Splash finish that still plays as one of the most cathartic three-counts WWE has ever produced. After that, we head to Madison Square Garden for WrestleMania XX, where the World Heavyweight Championship closes the show for the very first time. We don't ignore the reality of Benoit's crimes or how impossible it is to watch his work the same way after 2007 — that context lives with this match forever. But we also walk honestly through what this main event represented in 2004: the SmackDown Six template blown up to world-title scale. We dig into how the triple threat with Triple H and Shawn Michaels turns a format that usually feels cheap into a 24-minute clinic — the "Let's Go Benoit" crowd, the rotating pairings, the Crossface spot where Hunter literally grabs Shawn's hand to stop the tap, the table bump that buys time for the final act, and the visual of Triple H tapping clean in the middle of MSG. It's the one time in that era where the finish matches the story they told for months. We keep rolling with Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle from that same night — maybe the most "pure SmackDown" match on the card. This is where we zoom in on everything that made Eddie special at this stage of his career: the improvisation, the timing, the creativity that compensated for a body that had taken way too much punishment. Angle tries to strip the magic away and turn it into a straight amateur wrestling lesson — grinding holds, targeted rib and ankle work, suplexes on a loop — and for most of the match, he succeeds. Eddie's comeback isn't about overpowering him; it's about surviving just long enough to create one opening. We break down the boot spot in detail, why it works as psychology instead of a cheap gag, and how that final small package stacks up as the perfect "lie, cheat, steal" finish without burying Angle for a second. And then we close with the image that defined this era at the time: confetti falling in Madison Square Garden as Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit celebrate together, both holding world titles, both representing a version of WWE where skill and heart could overcome size and politics. Today that shot is complicated, even haunting, because of what would happen in the years that followed — Eddie's death, Benoit's actions. We sit in that discomfort instead of pretending it isn't there, but we also talk about what that night meant in 2004 for fans who had lived through the entire arc of the SmackDown Six: the B-show workhorses finally standing on top of the company they had quietly carried. By the time we're done with early 2004, the SmackDown Six era isn't just about a tag formula or a handful of TV classics. It's a storytelling blueprint — athletic, grounded, character-driven — that bleeds into both brands, reshapes what a WWE main event can look like, and influences everything from peak-era NXT to how AEW builds its big match payoffs today.

From the grind of early wrestling days to the creation of one of the most iconic characters in sports entertainment, this episode is pure gold for wrestling fans and comedy lovers alike. The Undertaker opens up about his unlikely path from college basketball to the squared circle, the wild meeting with Vince McMahon that birthed his legendary persona, and what it was like to rise through an era dominated by Hulk Hogan and other larger-than-life characters. He and Tom trade road-war stories, comparing the life of a traveling comedian to that of a pro wrestler — the endless travel, the brutal schedule, and the weird adjustment of coming home after months on tour. Mark also reveals behind-the-scenes secrets of WrestleMania, his all-time favorite match with Shawn Michaels, and the brutal injuries (including being set on fire… twice) that came with three decades in the ring. Plus, he shares how he stayed committed to “living the character,” why he always wore black in public, and how he evolved The Undertaker over time to keep the mystique alive. They also discuss wrestling psychology, the art of storytelling in the ring, and the freakish athleticism of stars like Brock Lesnar, Kane, and Roman Reigns. From hilarious stories about stepping on teammates during basketball drills to heartfelt reflections on the fans who grew up with him, The Deadman proves he's every bit as thoughtful as he is intimidating. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 312 https://tomsegura.com/tour https://www.bertbertbert.com/tour https://store.ymhstudios.com Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:09 - Wrestlemania 00:06:36 - I Wanna Be A Wrestler 00:17:17 - The Birth Of The Undertaker 00:31:26 - Injuries & Finding New Roles 00:42:40 - Big Strong Guys 00:47:35 - Shawn Michaels 00:56:17 - Novices 00:59:54 - Stupid Purchases 01:03:25 - Mike Tyson 01:06:57 - Wrap Up Learn more about your ad choices.
