God I'm HYPED

Non-Sanctioned, but our editors will make this video package, and the commentators will hype it, and the sound guys will play your entrance themes and we'll provide a referee we pay to officiate our matches to officiate your match. That is definitely not happening in the ring right now according to the ring announcer.

It's more of a legal disclaimer

It's more of a legal disclaimer

Eric says straight up this match never happened, but they're taping it so no legal mumbo jumbo will hold up if HBK is actually hurt.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

It makes for great marketing, though.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

No Holds Barred I think would have worked, too, though.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

To get that same sense of anything can happen.

 

[Chris]

I just love that HBK busted out the cowboy boots

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I like HBK wearing jeans to make it seem like this isn't a match and he's not coming out of retirement because this is just a fight.

 

[Chris]

Street fight also I think has identical rules

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Street Fight, No Holds Barred both have essentially the same rules so yeah either would work here.

 

[Chris]

Trips always ducked the sweet chin music so smoothly

 

[Chris]

Not the back

I'd say HBK's entire career can be put up next to anyone's. I don't think you need to isolate this side of it. HBK has a lot of great history in the 90s.

I think he means his entire career is so good that it can be split up and still put up next to anyone's, not trying to discredit the 90s run lol
