- Yeah, yeah! - Oh my God!
I'm a turtle!
- Yeah!
♪ (8-bit intro) ♪
- I am WWE superstar Xavier Woods a.k.a. Austin Creed,
a.k.a. one third of your boys the New Day!
a.k.a. five time WWE World Tag Team Champions,
a.k.a. host of the greatest YouTube channel of all time,
UpUpDownDown. I am here because of some people
that are comin' in, and they're gonna get challenged
by ya boy, right here.
- (FBE) So you're here for an extra special gaming episode
that's all about fighting games. - Okay.
- (FBE) Of course you aren't just a fan of fighting games,
we know you're also a fan of WWE, correct?
- Yeah! I'm old school.
I had the thumb wrestlers when I was growing up.
- I'm a huge fan of WWE.
- It's so cool to see them do everything that they do.
The biggest thing growing up was everyone was like "it's fake."
But yeah, but look at what they're doing.
- (FBE) So since you're a fan of both wrestling and fighting games,
we thought it would be fun to have you compete
in some of the most popular fighting games
against a professional wrestler.
- No! - So Xavier, come on out!
- Hey! - No way!
- Yeah! - I have his Pop! figure!
- Yeah! - Oh my gosh, dude!
- My man, come here. - No!
- Hey! - Oh, sick!
- (FBE) So Xavier, do you wanna come on out?
- No, no no no no! - Yeah!
- Holy [bleep] guys, whoa! - Yeah!
Yeah, what up? - I'm gonna cry!
- What up? - I'm gonna freaking cry.
- (Xavier) What's going on? - How are you?
- You alright? Bring it in. - Oh my God!
- (FBE) Xavier, you wanna come on out? - Wait, what!?
Shut the [bleep] up! - Hey, yeah!
- Shut the [bleep] up! - Yeah.
- I can't, I can't I can't, I'm sorry. - Yeah.
- Oh my God, I'm a turtle! - Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Ma'am, how are you? You doin' alright?
- No! (laughs) - Oh!
- I have you on the counter next to my desk in my classroom.
- Yes! - I do, like I--
- In your classroom? - Yeah, I teach junior high.
- Oh, that's awesome!
- (FBE) So we did think about letting you two play WWE 2K19 today,
however we thought that would give Austin a little bit
of unfair advantage, 'cause he's actually in that game.
- This is true. - Yeah!
- (FBE) Yeah. - Very true.
- Oh God! (laughs) - (FBE) So instead, we loaded up
our mystery wheel with four of the most popular fighting games,
Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Tekken and Super Smash Bros.
So Dionte, you're gonna spin that wheel,
to decide which game you're playing. - Yo, okay!
- (FBE) And then, whichever one of you gets the most KOs at the end
will get to smash some miniature wrestling props with a hammer.
- Oh, that's so fun!
- Let's do the wheel. - Yes, yes, let's do the wheel.
Wheels, wheels, wheels. (wheel clicks)
That's a good spin, okay.
- (FBE) Oh okay, we're gonna do Street Fighter V!
- Okay! I love Street Fighter,
I used to play it a lot as a kid with my sister.
She would beat the crap out of me.
(wheel clicks)
- (FBE) Street Fighter V! - Ooh!
(wheel clicks) - Okay.
- (FBE) Tekken 7, okay great! - Ooh!
Nice, hell of a spin! - Okay.
- (FBE) Super Smash Bros!
- Smash Bros! - Dang it!
- I will say Smash is the game that I played the least
out of all these. - Okay.
- But I'm still like disgustingly good at it.
- That's, there's no hope when someone's disgustingly good.
- I'll go with Kuma. - I just keep forgetting
how pretty these graphics are. - They're amazing, incredible.
I'm gonna play as characters that my friends play as.
- Okay. - You play a lot of video games?
- Yes. - What's your favorite game?
- Super Smash Bros. - Well that's honestly the best kind
of game where you can sit with your friends
and kind of end the friendship because of a game.
- Yeah. - Like my friend ender
obviously, is like Mario Kart.
- It's just like why is this a thing?
Why did Nintendo say "hey let's do this,"
because we clearly want people to feel some type of way.
I'm just like "no!"
- 'Cause they had to be sitting in the room with playtesters
watching them just start to devolve after playing for
like two or three hours, and they're like wait, wait,
these two came in as friends and now they hate each other.
Wait, why are they fist fighting? What is going on?
- Exactly, it's like wait a second!
- Someone in the back is like "Yes, yes, this is what I wanted."
Ooh! - Aw damn!
(screams) - So close, so close.
I gotta get him talking more. Let the Street Fighting commence.
What's your favorite movie? - Of all time?
- Of all time, favorite movie.
- Okay, the Mortal Kombat movie. - The first one, yes?
- The first, yeah, not Annihilation. - The second one, I'd be leaving.
- I like Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. - Ooh, great movie.
- And I like The Last Dragon, that is probably my favorite movie.
- ♪ You are the ♪ - (both) ♪ Last Dragon ♪
- ♪ You possess the power ♪
- I like this, great movie. When he pulls him like
"Who's the master?" He's like "I am".
Oh my God, hah!
And then the little kid break dancing at the party.
- That kid was the best! He broke dance to get out of chains!
- Catches bullets-- - (both) With his teeth!
- Mmm, please! - (laughs) I'm glad you censored.
- We'll let you, yeah of course, of course.
Okay, so I won the first one. - (announcer) Mika wins.
- That's what I do, I distract with conversation,
but it's good conversation. My better game is Tekken.
So I'm glad for you that we didn't spin to Tekken.
'Cause that would have been... - No matter what,
I'm gonna get wrecked, but we'll see.
Sometimes I come in clutch, and I pull it off very well.
- Since you're looking for wrestling school,
this would be your first lesson. Never ever, ever, ever
say that you're gonna lose or that you even have a chance at losing.
Even if you know that there's no chance.
Always the utmost confidence. - You're gonna get real wrecked.
- There we go! - (announcer) K.O.
- Oh you won most offensive. So there you go,
let me see that most offensive. Yeah, I won.
- Yeah, well, we got one more. We got one more.
- There's a new one. I'm a Kirby guy.
- Okay, wow. - He's the only person
I know how to do anything with. - Alright.
I'm gonna go down and go Ken. - Okay, okay, perfect.
- Dude. - No, I gotta stay away from,
he's got a hammer and a star. Nah, nah, nah, nah.
No no no, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away
get away, get away! Here we go!
- (Kirby) Hey! - (Ken) Hadouken!
- No! There, oh, I shrunk.
Hit him, yes, yes, yes, yes! - No!
- Yes, bam! Ooh!
Now, when you're, the kids that you teach watch this,
what are you gonna tell them about losing to me here today?
- (laughs) Oh no!
- So as a teacher who's teaching kids in junior high...
- Yeah. - ...in this day and age,
how do you stay cool, and make them want to listen to you?
Aside from just being the teacher that they need to listen to.
- Right. - But having them like you as well?
I won that one. - Yeah.
Um, honestly, for me it's being open and honest,
I weave stories from my childhood, and what it was like
when I was in school all the time. So they always wanna hear the stories.
Or the former students come back, and like "have you told them
the dead squirrel story?" - The Miz uses Steve Fox.
- (announcer) Steve Fox. - Oh wow, how is he?
- He's great, very nice guy.
Of all the people that you've met, we'll take me out of this equation.
Of all the people that you've met,
who do you think you got most excited for?
- Probably Scott and Mitch. - Yeah.
- I was kinda hyperventilating during the episode itself.
- Just losing it. - Just like oh my gosh, this is great!
It was funny 'cause it was like okay, don't cry in front of them.
Please don't be that ugly fan that's just like crying.
- I don't know if I wanna do that. - It makes no sense.
I'm like you don't have to do this, sir.
- Who do you think you'd go craziest for?
That you haven't met yet. - Beyonce.
- Beyonce? - Yes.
- Alright, so line that up guys! - No, please don't!
- I think I would lose it for Lenny Kravitz or Jackie Chan.
- Okay, you know what, that's accurate.
- Those are my, when I was a kid, those were my idols.
I mean, as a grown man, they still are.
So, ooh, hmm, I won that one again.
- I was kinda more distracted by Shaheen's outfit.
I could see myself wearing that. - You're like this kinda works!
My favorite movie is White Chicks. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- To me, that is the greatest cinematic experience of all time.
Some people have yelled at me, because I enjoy
the movie White Chicks so much.
And they say "that's not a good movie, you should pick like Tombstone,"
or something like that.
- Or you should just like the movies that you like.
Why do we keep yucking other peoples' yum?
- (laughs) Yuck others' yum.
- Or like real gross, yuck, but like that's someone else's yum.
Why would you yuck their yum?
It's okay to express on the internet, "hey, this is not a thing I like,"
but when you go into someone's mentions to be like
"your ideas are trash, but I'm a big fan!"
- I won that one as well. So uh, when people feel the need
to just go hard left negative into things,
and it's like but why can't you just like the things that you like
and talk positively about those.
Are you a SparkNotes person or a CliffsNotes person?
- More Spark. - Really, why?
- I have no idea, it's just what I looked up first.
(both laughing) - (announcer) Round two, fight!
- I remember those were the jam.
And now we're giving secrets that we shouldn't be giving.
Kids, always study and do well in school.
- Don't wing anything, make sure you're prepared.
- No, no, but don't read Wuthering Heights,
'cause it's the worst book of all time.
- I've never read it... - Good!
- ...and I'm doing pretty well in life.
- Wuthering Heights, I'm in I don't know, maybe 10th grade.
11th grade, and we have to read the book.
We have to watch a movie on it, we read like a different version of it
and I hate this book.
The book that we had to buy for the class, I kept it,
and I said on the happiest day of my life,
I will burn this book, and then two years ago,
on the happiest day of my life, the day my son was born,
I called my best friend and I said "it's time."
She goes "we're burning the book?" And she came over to my house,
and we covered it in lighter fluid,
and burned it on the day my son was born.
I kept that book for 15 years. - That's beautiful.
- That spite. Don't be like me, kids.
- Sonic. - Ooh, okay, Mega Man vs. Sonic.
This dead squirrel story. - Okay, I was in third grade,
and one day I'm walking home from the bus stop,
and there's a dead squirrel in the road.
So I thought I need to bury this squirrel.
So here's this weird kid in this Orange County neighborhood,
♪ (triumphant music) ♪ burying a dead squirrel.
I don't know how much time went by, but weeks, months later,
one day I'm walking home, and I'm like I need to,
I think it'd be cool if I could bring the squirrel skeleton
to school one day, impress my buddies. - Oh my God.
So you remembered it months later? - Oh yeah.
So I'm like, I'm gonna dig this squirrel up,
when I'm going home one day.
And I had not taken into account, like you know, decomposition,
and all that kinda stuff. - Yeah!
- So I'm digging in the ground. - With your hands?
- No, with a stick, I had a marker. So I find the spot,
and as I'm digging, it's filling up with like this ooze, or this goop,
and I think I've struck oil. - Oh no, I got rich!
- Yeah, this is frickin' awesome!
Only to realize that I had punctured the squirrel's like, belly,
and its innards were liquid, and all over my hands.
Never got the squirrel skeleton.
Every time we go back to Orange County my kids are like
"Dad, we should just stop, there's gotta be a skeleton now!"
- See if it's grosser. - I went screaming home,
I swing open the door, my mom's like "hey sweetheart, how was your day?
Would you like a snack?" I'm like "noooo!"
I just run straight to the kitchen sink.
What in the world, and try and scrub with the hottest water possible.
- I was gonna say, they don't make water hot enough!
- I was in my room the rest of the day like traumatized that afternoon.
- (announcer) Time! - That's time, I win that one too.
- Gosh dangit, man! - These stories, yeah.
Get him going. So since I won,
I get to smash things now. Technically I won.
- You won, you did! - I'm gonna smash,
but if you wanna help me get some of that anger out,
I would love to give you a couple of smashes for yourself.
- I would love that! - Aw, it's tiny stuff!
(Xavier laughs)
- Aw, this is so cute. - Just gonna do goggles over glasses.
That works, right? - Yeah!
I'm from the south, and down there they raised us right.
So even though I won, my lady, please take the first swing.
The first swing is yours. ♪ (Rossini, "William Tell Overture") ♪
- I get to smash a thing?
- Yeah, but smash, like try to break this table.
- Oh no! - Yeah, yeah, let it out!
(laughs)
Jesus! (laughs)
- Yeah!
- (screams) Ow! It broke, yeah!
(hammer clatters to music)
(screams) - Oh!
- Yes!
Yes!
- Oh! (Scott laughs)
- You're, the second piece. - Oh you took the legs out!
- Yeah, I took this one up. - Yes!
- Oh my God! (hammer clatters)
- Yeah!
- You okay? - Let it out!
Don't yuck on my yum! - Don't yuck our yum!
- Don't yuck my yum! - Don't yuck his yum!
