Let's talk more about Repo Man.
Repo Man did battle with Crush.
This is early stage Kona Crush purple, orange,
yellow, blonde molet, big jacked up Brian Adams.
Brian Adams correct Brian Clark was >> I always have the chronic guy there.
>> I always forget.
Yes Brian Adams, the Hawaiian ass kicker by the same name of the Canadian singer.
Vicki, you lit up when I started referencing Bryan Adams,
the singer and you didn't say anything.
>> You're not just laughing that we're actually talking about Bryan Adam
the singer cuz I started thinking of South Park and yes, we apologise for
Bryan Adams on many different occasions.
Terrance and Phillip.
>> Summer 69 is a good song.
>> Yeah that was a good song.
I do wanna talk about Repo Man, because you guys talked about how,
why does he have to walk around in suits.
>> Why was he so sneaky?
>> What about his attire that looks like a car ran over him multiple times?
That's not a very good repo man if he's getting ran over.
>> Okay, listen, I'm gonna put an end to this right now.
Because I've heard that question asked for years.
Why did Repo Man look like he had been run over by a vehicle.
There was a show relatively recently on one of the networks,
a reality show based on repossessions, vehicles in particular.
And generally someone would kinda hide out in the vicinity of the vehicle that they
were there to repossess.
But 99% of the time as they were hooking it up to their tow truck, somebody would
come running out of the house or jump in the vehicle and try to drive off.
So the risk for being run over as a Repo Man is probably higher than just
about any career path you can find.
So I didn't realize this at the time, I am just as guilty of asking the question.
But as I've grown and I've learned Repo Man's attire might have
been the most logical of any WWE superstar of that era.
>> Was this happening before every match he ever had, why does he wear a mask.
If the attire makes sense why does he wear a mask.
>> He gotta be lowkey because if I go hey I'm here, there's rules to repossessions.
>> You are not spies.
>> But you have to be coverted times.
>> The Repo Man got invented from a Christmas Story.
>> Yeah. >> The Repo man in real life does not come
and knock on your door and say hi Vic,
I'm here to take your car cuz you haven't made a payment in nine months.
>> Well the Repo Man doesn't wear a Halloween mask and
walk up to the car and do it.
They walk out, they try to do it, they hook it up, they leave.
>> You know what happens if.
>> What happens?
>> The Repo Man.
>> What happens?
>> Is the WWE character, >> What happens?
>> Looking like IRS or nails.
Okay, that's how, if you want realism, listen, just take the role,
Repo Man had to pay his bills, okay?
>> Because when our employment is up.
My employment is up.
That's how I make my money >> So when he wasn't competing in WWE,
he was tryna repossess vehicles with delinquent payments, all right?
>> You're really passionate about this, aren't you.
>> I am sick to death of people disparaging Repo Man and Barry Darko.
>> And you know what, it did pay the bills for him cuz he was able to retire and
become a golfer in WCW.
>> Amen, thank you Dan.
>> You are holding one.
>> Repo Man looked like he was out of Rocky and
Bullwinkle like 100% Alex villainous guy sneaking around.
>> I'm curious to see the feedback on my explanation because I feel as though
the ACB faithful will all simultaneously go My God, that makes so
much more sense now.
>> It actually kinda did.
And that's why I was really angry with myself like yeah,
they kinda do get ran over, don't they?
They do run away with the cars but still, it's ridiculous back the day.
And he was, why is he wearing a mask?
>> He wasn't a great Repo, Man.
He just was a Repo Man.
>> How did they never have them Feud with Thurman?
Sparky, plugg, and get run over Thurman.
[LAUGH] >> Sparky plugg paid his bills there.
>> That's true.
[LAUGH] >> Save it for
a future episode where we read books some of that area you know,
during that time as well.
>> Do you think the Repo Man translated to the UK crowd at all?
Or were they just kinda like, I'm just gonna kill this guy?
[LAUGH] >> I'm sure there are people with bad
credit in the UK as well.
I mean, I don't know.
>> But did they have skid marks on their clothing and
a mask over their eyes in the UK.
>> It all makes sense now, just a page here.
>> Take my justification of Repo Man's outfit and
the world will be a better place for it.
>> Okay.
>> Cuz in the UK the tire tracks would have been on the leftside.
