00:00 Colleague Pete, friend Pete.
00:01 Colleague Pete, friend Pete.
00:02 Um...
00:03 Colleague, colleague Pete.
00:04 Colleague Pete, colleague, colleague Pete.
00:07 Na na na na na na na na na na.
00:10 Colleague to all, friend to none.
00:12 [LAUGHTER]
00:16 Hello, I'm Laurie Hailing from PartsFunknown,
00:18 and welcome to No Holds Bored,
00:22 the board game show, but about wrestling.
00:24 But not about wrestling board games,
00:25 because wrestling board games is bad.
00:27 Instead, we're taking good board games,
00:29 but forced wrestling into them.
00:31 I'm joined by Dan today.
00:33 Hi.
00:33 I'm joined by Sullivan.
00:34 Hello.
00:34 I'm joined by Pete.
00:35 Hi.
00:36 I'm joined by Tempest.
00:37 Hello.
00:38 And I'm joined by TV's Adam Pearson.
00:39 [APPLAUSE]
00:43 And today, we're playing Fun Facts,
00:45 which is a fact-finding game where
00:46 we're going to be using sort of questions,
00:48 and then we're going to put numerical values down.
00:50 We're trying to guess where in the roster of everyone else
00:53 we sit.
00:54 So it might be questions like, what year did you
00:56 start watching wrestling?
00:58 We'll put our answers on the back of these.
01:00 Write them down.
01:00 The first player will place their token,
01:02 and then everyone else has to put theirs either above
01:05 or below, depending on whether they think their number that
01:07 they've written is higher or lower.
01:09 For everyone that we get in the right order, we get a point.
01:12 For everyone that we don't get, we just take it out,
01:13 and we don't get points.
01:14 It's kind of cooperative, which is a shame,
01:17 because people want to watch us infight.
01:19 Oh, they're all being infighting.
01:21 Oh, we're infighting.
01:21 Yeah, don't you worry.
01:22 Tempest is the first player, because he
01:23 has the first player token, this little star.
01:25 So why don't you, Tempest, read us the first prompt?
01:28 The first prompt.
01:30 How long in minutes is the ideal wrestling pay-per-view?
01:36 In minutes?
01:37 In minutes?
01:37 Minutes?
01:38 I've got to do math now.
01:39 There's 60 minutes in an hour, Dan.
01:43 That part I knew.
01:44 And what's 60 times 7?
01:45 [LAUGHTER]
01:48 [TICKING]
01:50 So.
01:53 This is hard to judge.
01:54 This is hard to judge, because I don't know.
01:57 Adam thinks that he wants a longer pay-per-view than Tempest.
01:59 Tempest is in the middle.
02:01 This is the lower value.
02:02 I think I want a shorter pay-per-view than Tempest.
02:07 Because we can't forget, Tempest likes--
02:12 Don't know what I want.
02:14 I think I'm going to put myself here, in between.
02:21 And I think I'm also going to do that.
02:24 I think probably me and Laurie have the same answer.
02:28 10 minutes.
02:29 [LAUGHTER]
02:31 What a famous being.
02:33 I just want it over and done with.
02:35 Let's have Roman walk to the ring, and then cut to black.
02:38 Instead of a wrestling match, they
02:39 come out and read the results, and then go home.
02:41 Oh my god, that'd be so much better.
02:44 That's so much more like Football Manager.
02:45 Yeah, that's what we're talking about.
02:47 That's what we want.
02:49 Roman Reigns won.
02:50 [LAUGHTER]
02:54 Kelly Rose, no.
02:55 [LAUGHTER]
02:58 I think I'm somewhere in the middle.
02:59 So I'm going to put myself above Sully Bob's, underneath Pete.
03:05 I've always dreamed of being above Pete.
03:08 Tempest gets the final choice.
03:09 He gets to move himself from his position, or he gets to stay.
03:15 I don't think I want that long of a pay-per-view.
03:20 Apparently, you want the longest pay-per-view,
03:22 except for Adam Pearson.
03:23 So far.
03:25 I always feel more confident letting it lie,
03:28 because then I feel like I can blame everyone else.
03:30 But I do think this is wrong.
03:33 But my thing is, I feel like we're all
03:35 probably in a similar range.
03:36 I think so, yeah.
03:37 Maybe.
03:38 I think we're actually--
03:39 It's just a question of who's gone granular in the maths.
03:43 It's true.
03:44 I'm going to move it.
03:47 I'm going to move it down one.
03:49 Damning indictment of Pete's pay-per-view taste.
03:52 Pete, why do you want a long pay-per-view, Pete?
03:54 Idiot Pete, come on.
03:55 Idiot Pete.
03:55 Why do you want a pay-per-view as long as Adam Pearson?
03:56 Bloody hell, Pete.
03:57 An extra half hour for every fucking x
03:59 you put on his name.
04:02 Should we start revealing and find out?
04:04 OK.
04:05 Bottom to the top.
04:06 So I went for a cool 150 minutes.
04:11 Two and a half hours.
04:13 I think that's the perfect length for a pay-per-view,
04:16 because that's probably as long as my attention span.
04:19 That is maximum.
04:21 That's the length of my attention span.
04:22 It's like a good takeover length.
04:24 I would have left the room four or five times in this thing.
04:27 I would have gone to the toilet.
04:27 I would have played on my phone.
04:29 But yes, I would have been mostly paying attention.
04:32 I think you're absolutely right.
04:34 Oh, look at that.
04:35 Interesting.
04:36 Absolutely.
04:37 That's exactly what I'm looking for as well.
04:38 Very good.
04:39 I appreciate your logic as well.
04:41 I, however, have taken it--
04:45 I've popped an extra hour on.
04:46 [LAUGHTER]
04:47 What?
04:48 An hour?
04:48 [LAUGHTER]
04:50 Dan!
04:50 Oh, God.
04:51 Three and a half hours?
04:52 Well, because I don't want a four-hour pay-per-view.
04:54 That's well too long.
04:55 [LAUGHTER]
04:56 Three hours is the same as an episode of Raw.
04:59 Most pay-per-views these days are about three to three
05:01 and a half hours.
05:01 And I've enjoyed a lot of them recently.
05:03 But is it ideal?
05:05 Or is it just what it is now?
05:06 Well, because I think the way I take in a pay-per-view is like,
05:09 oh, that was a nice match.
05:10 Right now, I'm going to go get myself a little snackette.
05:11 And now I'm going to go--
05:12 and each match is its own beast.
05:14 Like, I'm not just sat there like--
05:17 Mm-hmm.
05:18 --the whole time.
05:19 Also, we were in Wembley from like 5 PM till 10.
05:22 That's a five-hour show.
05:23 Yeah, and it was too long.
05:24 And it was in Wembley!
05:25 And it was in Wembley!
05:26 It was all in Wembley!
05:26 Well, I don't think there's anything wrong
05:27 with a three and a half hour show, Dan.
05:29 I think you're fucking mad.
05:30 You're crazy.
05:30 Dan, how many days did you think that Adam Pearson put down?
05:33 [LAUGHTER]
05:35 I've gone for two hours, 45 minutes.
05:38 Two hours--
05:39 That's fair.
05:40 --45 minutes.
05:41 Now, I have a snafu here.
05:42 We do.
05:42 Somebody-- somebody made an error.
05:46 So we're going to take Dan out.
05:48 Oh, I'm sorry.
05:49 I like wrestling.
05:50 [LAUGHTER]
05:54 Just like to point out that where I put mine
05:57 was correct until everybody else moved me 150.
05:59 Oh.
06:00 150.
06:02 I agree.
06:03 Two and a half hours.
06:04 Perfect length.
06:05 Perfect length.
06:06 Adam Pearson.
06:07 Adam Pearson.
06:07 And at the very top is the correct answer.
06:11 Seven days.
06:11 Oh, my god.
06:13 Three and a half hours.
06:14 Three and a half hours.
06:15 You guys are crazy.
06:16 You're mad.
06:16 He needs to feel special.
06:18 For me, it feels like--
06:19 If it's shorter than Raw, it feels basic.
06:21 That's what I mean.
06:22 And also, with a three-hour pay-per-view--
06:23 But Raw should be shorter.
06:24 [LAUGHTER]
06:26 It's what I was trying to discuss.
06:27 The Raw should be shorter.
06:28 I'm not paying 9.99 a month for Raw.
06:32 I want my dad's money.
06:33 And also, with pay-per-views that are three hours,
06:36 I've always found a way of going, that was good,
06:38 though this match needed another 10 minutes.
06:40 Premium.
06:41 Chuck a couple hours of wrestling on, I don't really
06:43 care.
06:44 [LAUGHTER]
06:45 Six matches is perfect, because you've got
06:48 the main championships, the tag championships,
06:49 the women's side of the division,
06:51 and you just have a few other big matches.
06:53 What about the major feuds?
06:54 Dan, Clash of the Castle had six matches, and it was brilliant.
06:58 Have you ever--
06:59 How long did it go?
07:00 Probably two hours and 45 minutes.
07:02 [LAUGHTER]
07:05 Have you ever heard of the phrase, leave them wanting more?
07:07 [LAUGHTER]
07:08 No.
07:08 The phrase is, leave them having exactly what they want,
07:11 and they can go to bed smiling.
07:14 Dan says, leave too much in the room.
07:15 [LAUGHTER]
07:17 All right, so four.
07:18 Everybody takes a six.
07:19 We got four.
07:20 We need to beat four next time.
07:21 Yeah.
07:22 So we managed to match up four there.
07:23 That is not all of them, guys.
07:25 We need to work together better here.
07:28 The only thing we're trying to beat
07:29 is ourselves here, because it's a cooperative game.
07:31 So let's see what we can do with the next prompt.
07:34 Adam Pearson.
07:34 OK, let's do this.
07:37 What is the oldest age a wrestler should
07:41 win a world championship?
07:42 [TICKING]
07:45 When I read that out loud, my kind of work brain kicked in,
07:48 and I just went, ages, and so now I'm like, really?
07:51 [LAUGHTER]
07:53 I changed my mind.
07:54 Hold on.
07:55 I'm happy with my answer.
07:57 I'm all right with mine.
07:59 Yeah, I don't know where I'm going to place it.
08:01 Not a clue.
08:02 I don't know what anyone's thinking.
08:04 Adam's got the easy job.
08:04 He gets to place first.
08:05 Luckily, all I've got to do is put mine down.
08:07 Because you shouted the word ageism.
08:09 [LAUGHTER]
08:11 I'm not here.
08:13 Yeah, I think that's fair.
08:15 That's a fair cop.
08:17 Peter?
08:19 I don't know.
08:21 I don't know what anyone's thinking,
08:23 so I'm just going to go in the middle.
08:25 So you're more ageist than Laurie, but less ageist than me.
08:28 Yeah, that's correct.
08:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:29 You're like our North Star here, Adam.
08:32 We know that you put whatever age they want on there.
08:34 Yeah.
08:35 There we go.
08:36 So because of my awareness that Adam has the power to change,
08:41 his--
08:42 I'm plucking myself out there.
08:43 Interesting.
08:44 All right.
08:45 In that case, I'm going to go right there.
08:48 I'm going to--
08:49 do I leave it?
08:50 Because now I'm applying it down to--
08:52 no, no, I'm going to leave it.
08:55 All right.
08:55 Well, Laurie, it's you first again.
08:57 Yeah, we'll see.
08:57 Just put yourself at the bottom every time.
08:59 I didn't put myself at the bottom.
09:01 I put myself at the bottom of two,
09:02 and everyone else puts me at the bottom.
09:05 Everyone else is like, wow, I can't believe you're this person.
09:07 Now I went with 45.
09:10 OK.
09:11 Interesting.
09:12 I think mostly just because at that point,
09:14 you want to be on the wind down.
09:15 You also have to do all the touring.
09:16 You have to be the face of the company.
09:18 You have to be the whole shebang.
09:19 Sullivan, Laurie, once again, you've
09:22 written the correct answer.
09:23 Yeah.
09:24 It's me, Sullivan, on the wind down.
09:25 That's crazy.
09:26 We have to-- yeah, we've got the same mind.
09:28 So I believe last time, you both put the same answer,
09:31 and I had the same answer but higher.
09:33 It's good because I also put the same answer, 45.
09:36 We're all on the same wavelength.
09:38 Let's go.
09:38 We're just clever guys.
09:41 For the first time, we have a different answer.
09:44 Is it a good one, though?
09:45 It's 45 and a half.
09:46 It's 49.
09:48 Oh, OK.
09:49 OK.
09:49 OK.
09:50 It's a big jump.
09:51 I think we can still be in good shape.
09:53 I think we can still be in good shape here.
09:55 I went with 49, pretty much strictly for edge.
10:03 Granted, he didn't win a world title during this last run.
10:07 But when he cut that promo and they
10:09 were reintroducing the World Heavyweight title,
10:11 I was like, yeah, I give it to him.
10:14 And he's 49 years old.
10:16 We are at four.
10:17 Adam, it all comes down to this.
10:18 We could beat our score from last time.
10:20 Come on, Adam.
10:20 Come on, Adam.
10:22 45.
10:22 Ageism.
10:23 Ageism.
10:23 Ageism.
10:24 Ageism.
10:24 Ageism.
10:25 Ageism.
10:26 Why do you hate old people, Adam?
10:29 We don't.
10:29 Yeah.
10:30 We don't.
10:31 How did you cower to ageism just now?
10:33 Yeah.
10:33 It's crazy.
10:34 I know.
10:35 I'm sorry.
10:37 You let us all down.
10:38 I know.
10:38 I'm sorry.
10:39 I'm sorry, mom.
10:40 I'm sorry to all my friends who are 45.
10:43 Who will one day be 45?
10:45 We can still get five.
10:47 I am--
10:49 Not confident.
10:50 No, bro.
10:50 Not confident.
10:51 Oh, Dan.
10:52 No, no, no, no, no.
10:53 I would like to say that I do have a real issue
10:56 with this question because you were like, can versus should.
11:02 Should feels judgier to me because should is like,
11:06 I'm sorry, you're kind of past it.
11:08 You don't get a chance.
11:09 You should have won that 45.
11:10 And I think the idea of should and age and things like that,
11:13 age is just a number.
11:15 Purely to write down a number, I kind of wanted to do a protest,
11:18 but I put 50.
11:19 Hey!
11:20 Hey!
11:20 Hey!
11:21 Yeah.
11:21 Yeah.
11:22 I do very strongly feel that if you are 50
11:24 and you are killing it and you are good at it
11:27 and it works in the storyline, why not?
11:29 I think if you're 55, 56, you probably-- that's
11:31 the period where you're wanting to-- if it's a case of you
11:33 think you can't go--
11:34 Oh, 55, you should have.
11:36 You should have won a championship by now.
11:39 But that's-- who picks it?
11:41 Like, Damien Priest is 41.
11:42 Well, guys, we've got five there.
11:44 We need to go for the four.
11:45 You all doubted me, and then it turned out I was a woke liberal.
11:48 All right, next question.
11:49 It's me in the hot seat.
11:50 Let's go.
11:52 Every seat you're in is the hot seat.
11:53 Thank you.
11:55 Brown noser.
11:58 What year was wrestling at its worst?
12:02 Oof.
12:02 I have the easy job.
12:09 I'm just going to place mine first.
12:10 That's fucking ridiculous, Laurie.
12:11 I--
12:12 Laurie, you're mad.
12:13 I--
12:13 Placing it in a void, yeah.
12:14 I think I'm correct.
12:16 OK.
12:17 Well, I don't know--
12:18 Considering it's my opinion.
12:20 I don't know what Laurie will have put,
12:23 but I'm going to do this.
12:26 I'm going to do this.
12:30 I mean, we've been on the same wavelength the whole time,
12:31 so we've all put the same thing.
12:33 Obviously.
12:33 Obviously.
12:34 Right?
12:34 It's a different game.
12:35 I'm going to go--
12:38 We can see what you've put.
12:41 I didn't see it.
12:43 I didn't see it.
12:43 I'm going to go around here.
12:44 Interesting.
12:51 Interesting.
12:52 Interesting.
12:54 You need to put yours in Adam.
12:56 Oh, yeah.
12:56 I see.
12:57 Oh, I see what you're doing.
12:59 I see.
12:59 I see.
13:00 I see.
13:00 I thought he'd gone mad.
13:01 I thought he'd gone insane.
13:02 I'm sorry.
13:03 I'm scared to move.
13:05 I'm going to stay.
13:06 OK.
13:06 I'm so intrigued by Tempo going right at the top there.
13:10 I think I've got a vague idea as to what he's saying.
13:14 I was thinking about it, and I was thinking about,
13:16 like, oh, god, 2013 was dire, or 2012,
13:20 or NBTL7, or the mid-naughties.
13:22 But the thing that I thought about those most was, like,
13:24 you sort of indie scene.
13:27 And if wrestling took off and became amazing in, like,
13:29 2015, '16, the talent was already there.
13:32 So the big mainstream companies, trash.
13:36 But the scene, and Japan, and everything growing.
13:39 I went for, because of old men and bad business, 1995.
13:44 That's pretty reliable right there.
13:46 Valid.
13:47 I think it was-- if I'm not wrong,
13:48 the worst year financially for WWF.
13:51 I keep thinking of, like, Hulk Hogan
13:53 pratting around in three cages, and the giant, and the sumo.
13:56 And it's just like, if you want to watch some wrestling,
13:59 your choices are dire in 1995.
14:02 I-- see, the thing is, is that I've considered 1995,
14:07 and I wish I had gone that way.
14:09 But I just couldn't remember which one was the worst year.
14:12 Right.
14:12 And then I said--
14:12 They're all bad.
14:13 Yeah.
14:13 I mean, all around that time, it's pretty bad.
14:15 So I, unfortunately, went for 1993.
14:18 Oh!
14:19 That's also a very good answer.
14:23 That's a bad Rumble, bad WrestleMania, bad SummerSlam.
14:28 Nothing.
14:28 WCW is still shit.
14:30 It's a bad year.
14:31 Yeah.
14:32 Yeah.
14:32 I went by what the common consensus is,
14:36 and everyone says, well, bad year, innit?
14:39 It's 1995.
14:40 Yay!
14:40 Very good.
14:41 Very good.
14:41 OK.
14:42 Yeah.
14:42 Because it's bad.
14:43 Everyone says it's bad, so it's bad.
14:46 Diesel versus Mabel.
14:47 Diesel versus Mabel.
14:48 That's what I think of.
14:49 When I think of '95, it's Diesel and Mabel.
14:51 Haven't seen it.
14:52 Don't want to.
14:53 The collective knee strength in the wrestling industry in 1995
14:56 was not high.
14:57 Well, now we take quite a jump.
15:00 Oh, dear.
15:01 Yep.
15:02 Oh, dear, indeed.
15:03 I went, because it was an awesome year.
15:08 2011.
15:09 2011.
15:10 You're still currently correct.
15:12 Yeah.
15:13 You're correct.
15:14 I have a list on my phone of just bat shit,
15:17 insane things that happened in WWE in 2011.
15:21 Do you just write lists wherever you go?
15:23 Yeah.
15:23 You love it.
15:24 Go on, then.
15:24 It just falls out of his mind everywhere he goes.
15:27 I just scoop it up and put it somewhere.
15:28 I love it.
15:29 Miz made a major on one.
15:30 It was an awful, awful major.
15:32 I also think the Rumble was tack.
15:35 Yeah.
15:35 40-Man Rumble.
15:36 Yeah, the 41, the real one, yeah.
15:38 And then they went on Circe.
15:40 Yeah.
15:41 And it just went, ugh.
15:42 Kevin Nash costing CM Punk the title
15:45 and then never leading to a match.
15:47 The Sledgehammer Ladder match.
15:49 Yeah.
15:50 I don't remember.
15:50 Capital Punishment was that year.
15:51 Capital Punishment.
15:52 Versus John Cena, yeah.
15:54 Now, I'm really bad at remembering dates.
15:58 And what happened in what year, specifically.
16:00 Did you ever figure out when--
16:01 I have essentially just gone for a year
16:03 I remember talking about wrestling a lot
16:06 and being like, oh, it's really shit and boring.
16:08 And it was 2018.
16:11 Nice.
16:11 Nice points there.
16:12 Still on the running.
16:13 And then for me, there was just nothing remarkable happening.
16:15 And that, for me, is worse than really bad.
16:18 Because actually, the thing is, you guys are saying,
16:21 oh, well, I haven't gone back and watched these things,
16:22 but I've heard about them.
16:23 People are still talking about really bad stuff.
16:26 People aren't just talking about a malaise of nothing
16:29 really happening.
16:30 But I had to talk about it every week.
16:32 [LAUGHTER]
16:33 That right there.
16:34 And that specifically was an affront to me.
16:37 That's Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar all year.
16:39 Yeah, that's Mania 34, right?
16:41 Yeah.
16:41 Oh, god.
16:42 Yeah, it is.
16:43 And then the first Saudi show as well that year.
16:46 Oh, yeah.
16:46 One.
16:47 And AEW wasn't over the year.
16:48 John Cena hair.
16:49 Uh-huh.
16:49 Yeah.
16:50 Tempest.
16:50 There's one left.
16:52 And I put it at the top for a reason.
16:53 Yeah.
16:55 We all remember, I think.
16:57 2020.
16:58 Yeah.
16:58 Yes.
16:59 Yes.
16:59 That was going to be one of my answers.
17:00 A very good answer.
17:01 Very good answer.
17:03 I considered pretty much everything else
17:06 that was written down here.
17:08 Like, where do you go in the mid '90s?
17:10 Like, '92 is terrible.
17:12 It goes on and on.
17:13 There's a lot of bad '90s years.
17:15 But I'm never going back to watch anything in 2020.
17:18 Yeah.
17:19 That's a really good point.
17:20 It's really a shame, because I think so much good storytelling
17:23 was done in AEW in 2020.
17:26 There's a lot of really fun bits at the start of that year
17:28 with Drew winning the Rumble and Edge coming back.
17:31 And there was a lot of potential to be a great year.
17:33 Firefly Funhouse.
17:34 I'm never, ever going back to watch matches from that year.
17:38 Yeah.
17:39 Which means we got--
17:40 Five out of six.
17:40 Five again.
17:41 We got five again.
17:42 We're getting there.
17:43 We're getting there.
17:43 It is almost admirable, but fucking pull it together, guys.
17:47 We're so close to getting there.
17:49 Perfect deal.
17:50 How old would Brock Lesnar have to be for you
17:53 to be able to beat him up?
17:56 How old's he now?
17:57 Old.
17:59 72.
18:00 How old was he in his prime?
18:01 I presume we're putting him in an aging machine.
18:06 But I'm not waiting until he's--
18:08 No, exactly.
18:09 It wouldn't scale.
18:09 It would be too.
18:10 Exactly.
18:11 I have to be that old.
18:12 He'd still beat me up.
18:13 Yes, exactly.
18:14 Well, yeah.
18:15 It's either we put him in an aging machine
18:17 or we build a time machine.
18:19 We should go forward.
18:22 Brock Lesnar's on his ranch.
18:24 Oh, man.
18:26 Rocking back and forth.
18:27 He's rocking back and forth.
18:28 [LAUGHTER]
18:29 Smoke starts to fill the field.
18:31 This rickety time machine.
18:33 Some of him comes out and clocks it in the phone.
18:35 There, I told you.
18:36 76.
18:37 Don't you want to beat him up?
18:38 And then, like, go back in the time.
18:41 Sable comes out with a little tray of iced tea.
18:44 What happened, dear?
18:45 I don't know.
18:47 He keeps rocking.
18:49 But I've developed a Yorkshire accent.
18:51 I was going to say, why is he northern?
18:54 You clearly haven't been listening.
18:56 Yeah.
18:57 Know what, Roman Reigns?
18:58 You're a bloody bastard.
19:00 And I don't mind saying it in front of all these people.
19:02 [LAUGHTER]
19:07 I'm going to go here, guys.
19:09 Might be rocking the boat.
19:10 That's bold.
19:10 That's crazy.
19:11 Yeah.
19:11 I'm going to go here.
19:14 I feel quite comfortable going here.
19:17 Oh.
19:18 I think I know what Dan might have done.
19:20 So currently, Adam Pearson thinks
19:21 he could take the youngest version of Brock Lesnar.
19:23 The youngest version of Brock.
19:24 Yep.
19:25 Tempo.
19:26 I'm going to go here.
19:27 Interesting.
19:28 Somewhat not confidently, but we'll see.
19:31 Blimey.
19:32 I'm just going to put myself next to my mind buddies.
19:35 Yeah.
19:36 That sounds good.
19:36 That's a sandwich.
19:37 We're not going to be mind buddies for long.
19:39 Goodbye.
19:40 Hey.
19:42 OK.
19:42 All right.
19:43 OK.
19:44 Adam Pearson.
19:45 Please explain.
19:46 Oh, I will.
19:47 Adam's like current age.
19:48 I have thought this through.
19:49 You joke.
19:50 Yes, I have.
19:50 46.
19:52 So you can--
19:52 I am the brock works of rock right now.
19:53 So two years ago.
19:54 No, no, no.
19:55 The question was, what is the youngest age
19:57 you think you could beat Brock Lesnar?
19:59 I reckon I could beat him now using my make a wish.
20:02 But I'm old.
20:03 [LAUGHTER]
20:05 So old.
20:07 The geometric thought process there, that's fantastic.
20:10 Your make a wish is to beat Brock Lesnar.
20:14 Brock just has to sit there and take it while he's talking
20:17 to him until he's knocked out.
20:20 That's spectacular thought.
20:22 What?
20:23 You know what?
20:23 I love the logic.
20:24 Oh my god.
20:25 I love the logic.
20:26 Wow.
20:26 Well done, Adam Pearson.
20:28 That's incredible.
20:30 Wow.
20:31 That's really good.
20:32 I'm almost devastated to ruin it immediately.
20:35 I was very--
20:36 I took the question to be like, aging machine
20:39 could go either way.
20:40 So I've said seven.
20:41 [LAUGHTER]
20:44 [INAUDIBLE]
20:45 We de-age him.
20:47 Oh my god.
20:49 But once he gets to eight, he started putting on the muscle.
20:51 I started doing the work.
20:53 Maybe because I went back in time at the age of seven,
20:56 just gave him a clean lariat.
20:58 And he was like, well, I've never been
20:59 beaten up like that again.
21:00 You couldn't beat him up as a baby?
21:01 [LAUGHTER]
21:04 Why did you go this?
21:06 I did take a second and go, should I put five?
21:10 And then I went, no, I wouldn't be a five-year-old.
21:13 Seven.
21:14 Seven.
21:16 Your morals would stop you at five.
21:17 They start to get a bit mouthy at seven.
21:19 You know what I mean?
21:20 Oh my god.
21:21 Wow.
21:22 Very good.
21:23 I love that.
21:24 These are great answers, Laurie.
21:26 I went for a respectable 80.
21:28 [LAUGHTER]
21:30 The jump is real.
21:31 Yeah, that's valid.
21:32 But I will be watching every day.
21:33 [LAUGHTER]
21:34 Check that man.
21:36 Watch his back slowly arch, and I'll be there.
21:38 [LAUGHTER]
21:40 Where would you start?
21:41 When he's collecting his gyro.
21:42 Fuck!
21:43 [LAUGHTER]
21:46 I went for 89.
21:48 I've just--
21:49 Jesus.
21:49 I saw him-- what was his name?
21:52 We were chatting about this the other day.
21:54 George Foreman.
21:55 George Foreman.
21:56 And he was punching a bag in his mid-70s.
21:58 And I was like, oh, fuck.
22:00 That's fucking terrifying.
22:02 I'm going to have to wait until he's in his late 80s.
22:05 Tempest.
22:07 Regrettably.
22:09 Nope.
22:10 Regrettably.
22:12 In time.
22:13 [INTERPOSING VOICES]
22:14 The 80s era.
22:16 Similar thought process to Sullivan.
22:18 I remember watching a video of former amateur wrestler Danny
22:23 Hodge, who was an inspiration to many of the tough guys
22:27 of the mid-1900s and such.
22:31 He was able, at the mid-80s maybe,
22:34 to crush an apple in his hand and put a guy in a headlock.
22:38 Where he was like, OK, but do it for real.
22:39 And he just went--
22:41 and almost killed the guy.
22:42 Oh my god.
22:43 So I don't fuck with these really old amateur wrestlers.
22:47 But I was like, I don't want to put 90.
22:49 That's ridiculous.
22:51 I wish you guys had gone younger.
22:53 TBH.
22:53 I thought I was being crazy when I said 86.
22:56 No.
22:57 But you know.
22:57 Well, we'll make it work.
22:59 So we can make this work.
23:01 Is that how that works?
23:01 Yes, you can.
23:03 You put the best order that you can do out of the ones you got.
23:07 I've never been in a fight.
23:08 I need him to be real old.
23:12 We caught some guys getting itonied before we turn up.
23:16 Hey, just do a flip.
23:17 Just do a flip.
23:18 You're right.
23:19 You'll never see it coming.
23:20 You're right.
23:21 Brock is notoriously really bad against people who do flips.
23:24 That wasn't as good as last time.
23:25 It was not.
23:26 Some excellent ideas of how to beat up Brock Lesnar, I think.
23:32 Just waiting for him to beat you.
23:33 And if all of us work together, we'd have a chance.
23:36 We could take it down when he's 100.
23:38 How old were you when you first went to a wrestling show?
23:44 Good question.
23:46 Oh, ah.
23:48 That changed my view like something.
23:49 [LAUGHTER]
23:52 I don't think I expected it to come to me.
23:56 [LAUGHTER]
23:58 It's stored one foot in reference.
24:01 It's the boy who brings you the moment.
24:03 That's the one I got up here.
24:04 Cantona, were you hypnotized as a child?
24:09 Sullivan, take us away.
24:11 Yeah.
24:11 Come on, Dan.
24:12 Hit us with it.
24:15 Jesus.
24:17 OK.
24:17 You're mad.
24:18 There he goes.
24:20 I'm as old as Christ himself.
24:24 Actually, we're all going quite young.
24:28 I have no idea.
24:30 Some people-- Adam, the thing to remember
24:31 is that some people only have quite young around the table.
24:34 Yeah, no, no.
24:36 Not everyone is an elder statesman.
24:39 No, no, no.
24:39 It's the elder statesman here.
24:42 I was including myself.
24:44 Oh, I know.
24:45 But I'm 38 and jaded at this point.
24:50 That's the title of your album.
24:52 38 and jaded.
24:53 And my book.
24:53 Yeah.
24:54 Interesting.
24:58 Sorry.
24:59 Check this out.
25:03 I don't know when Dan went to go watch wrestling.
25:11 OK, Sullivan, do you want to move?
25:14 No, I think I'm happy there.
25:16 OK.
25:17 I think that's good.
25:17 I think that's a good shout, Sullivan.
25:20 Adam Pearson, please reveal and explain.
25:23 It all depends how we define a wrestling show.
25:26 Did wrestling, as we know it here,
25:29 happen at a thing where I was spectating?
25:33 Very well.
25:34 I was six years old.
25:37 Nice.
25:39 It was Jesus Christ Rumble Savior.
25:42 And it was in a random church hall in Croydon.
25:45 And it was nuts.
25:47 I am one insane Jesus.
25:50 That's spectacular.
25:52 Not the first time.
25:54 We thought it was awesome.
25:55 We came back three days later, and it was all right.
25:57 That's really good.
25:59 It's a good joke.
26:00 So far, so good.
26:01 I was 12.
26:03 Started watching wrestling at 11.
26:05 By the end of that year, I'd gone to my first show.
26:08 Nice.
26:08 It was a raw SmackDown double feature
26:11 because it was the week of Christmas in 2008.
26:14 Wow.
26:15 I saw the first ever Divas Championship title change.
26:18 Wow.
26:19 What a moment.
26:20 So mine, we went--
26:24 never went as like a child.
26:26 But as soon as I became independent,
26:29 I went for my best friend's 18th birthday.
26:32 I was 17.
26:35 Because we were watching a Raw episode on TV together.
26:39 And then it advertised, Raw, coming to the O2 in London.
26:42 Michael Cole, I think, got knighted on that episode.
26:44 I remember it.
26:45 Yeah.
26:47 With Jack Swagger and stuff.
26:48 It was-- sounds like it was great.
26:51 2011, it sounds like.
26:52 2011, it was.
26:53 Bad year.
26:54 Yeah.
26:55 RIP, Lizzie.
26:58 Dan, do you want to turn yours over?
27:00 Dan?
27:02 It's the real queen on that show.
27:05 The real one.
27:06 I didn't go and see my first wrestling show live until 2018.
27:14 Wow.
27:14 When I was 28, it was a pro wrestling eve show.
27:19 However--
27:20 However.
27:21 The question was, when you went to your first live wrestling
27:24 show, and in the year of our Lord, 2004,
27:28 on a NWA UK show in Maidstone's Moat Park Leisure Center,
27:35 I wrestled in the Rumble.
27:38 And I was sweet 40.
27:40 Oh!
27:43 It's probably going to be this, I think.
27:46 Well, either works, probably.
27:48 Well, we'll see.
27:49 Let's blame me.
27:50 Either way works.
27:52 Well, for me, I never watched it as a child.
27:57 And then it wasn't until--
27:59 I had started working with Norah Osbard and everything.
28:03 But my friend Pete said--
28:05 not you, Peter.
28:06 My better friend.
28:07 Actual friend, Pete.
28:09 Not colleague Pete.
28:10 Friend Pete.
28:11 Colleague Pete.
28:11 Friend Pete.
28:13 Colleague Pete.
28:14 Colleague Pete.
28:15 Colleague Pete.
28:17 [HUMMING]
28:20 Colleague to all, friend to none.
28:22 [LAUGHTER]
28:24 Good friend Pete, invited me down to a pub in Ballam.
28:32 We love you, Pete.
28:33 I'm really glad--
28:34 I know that when Pete was 17, he went with a colleague.
28:36 [LAUGHTER]
28:38 I'm really glad this isn't playing on any of my insecurities
28:40 or anything.
28:41 [LAUGHTER]
28:41 That was really good.
28:44 We love you, Pete.
28:45 We love you.
28:46 Anyway, so I was invited down to the Bedford pub in Ballam
28:51 and watched--
28:52 I think it's EWE is the promotion.
28:54 I don't know.
28:55 Check them out.
28:55 Ew.
28:56 Ew.
28:56 Ew.
28:57 The sheep promotion.
28:58 Ew.
28:59 Ew.
28:59 Ew.
29:00 It's only sheep.
29:01 Only Welsh wrestler.
29:03 And it's a fantastic promotion because the guy who
29:06 was the champion at the time fucking hated my friend Pete.
29:10 He fucking hated him.
29:11 Because he was there every week going, you're a piece of shit.
29:14 The guy's champion.
29:15 He would constantly just single him and only him out.
29:19 Fucking dunk on only my mate.
29:21 It was amazing.
29:22 So I was 29.
29:23 Yay.
29:24 Wow.
29:24 You're going to go.
29:26 There we go.
29:27 All comes down to this.
29:28 It all comes down to this.
29:29 It's still going to be five.
29:30 Yeah, it's still only going to be five.
29:32 I was also 26.
29:33 Oh.
29:34 Yay.
29:34 Yay.
29:35 I went to see wrestling as a kid.
29:36 I went to see ICW in--
29:39 I'm pretty sure it was Camden.
29:41 And that was really good.
29:42 And Big Demo was on the show.
29:44 Big D.
29:45 And someone-- the best heckle I've ever
29:47 heard at a wrestling show happened.
29:48 Big Demo was wrestling.
29:49 And someone just went, you're a wizard, Harry.
29:51 [LAUGHTER]
29:55 That's amazing.
29:57 Pretty good.
29:58 That's pretty good.
29:59 Still a five, though.
30:00 Well, five.
30:00 So we haven't--
30:01 Fucking hell, guys.
30:01 Guys, we've got one last chance to make good.
30:05 To get the full house.
30:07 Last one.
30:07 It's Dan Layton's turn to be the lead player.
30:11 How many matches is the perfect amount
30:13 for a wrestling pay-per-view?
30:15 All right, Dan.
30:17 Hot take, Dan.
30:20 Dan's buffering.
30:21 I really am.
30:22 I'm trying to book my own show.
30:26 It's hard once you get past 20, isn't it?
30:29 Start losing track.
30:31 They call it the Tony Caron problem.
30:34 Everyone-- comments are going to eat me.
30:36 Well, how am I going to debut all these belts I've had, man?
30:40 I love belts.
30:42 Tony Caron and Tommy Wiseau love belts.
30:46 Judging from our earlier conversation,
30:49 I'm going to guess that Dan wants more matches on the show
30:53 than I do.
30:54 Oh, my god.
30:55 I feel like I'm--
30:57 yeah.
30:58 Carry on.
30:59 Feel like you've destroyed everything.
31:00 You've ruined it.
31:01 Yeah.
31:01 Yeah.
31:02 Yeah.
31:02 Yeah.
31:03 Well, you get to--
31:04 You get to fix it.
31:05 I think I'm here.
31:06 Give me one match and I'm out.
31:13 0.3 of a match.
31:15 I think I'm here.
31:16 I think-- brain triplets.
31:19 Brain triplets.
31:20 Down at the bottom.
31:21 BT.
31:21 Nope.
31:22 Right.
31:23 I think-- you know when you do a bit,
31:26 and you're like, nah, it's not going to work?
31:27 Instantly.
31:28 BT.
31:29 BT.
31:29 Yeah.
31:30 Oh.
31:30 [INAUDIBLE]
31:31 Yep, that one.
31:33 I think a mixture of--
31:35 That's what happens when all three people share a brain.
31:38 You and I were using it at that moment.
31:40 Yeah.
31:40 Yeah.
31:41 Yeah.
31:41 [LAUGHTER]
31:44 Oh, it's all right, Pete.
31:47 You're a good colleague.
31:48 I'm just a colleague.
31:49 Yeah.
31:50 Oh, hang on.
31:53 We've broken Sullivan.
31:54 [LAUGHTER]
31:56 Get him.
31:57 Get him back.
31:57 Come back.
31:58 I think-- so I struggled answering this question.
32:03 So I think I'm just going to do that,
32:07 because I think that my answer may shock you.
32:11 OK.
32:12 All right, BuzzFeed.
32:13 Yeah.
32:14 Yeah.
32:14 [LAUGHTER]
32:15 Number five will shock you.
32:17 Stick around to the end of the video to find out.
32:19 Yeah.
32:20 You've been click-baited.
32:21 So we were discussing six earlier.
32:24 And then I was like, I think Dan raised a valid point.
32:27 What about your blood feud?
32:28 And I thought, let's have another women's match.
32:30 So I put eight.
32:31 Eight.
32:32 OK.
32:34 Interesting.
32:37 Gives you time for a world champion.
32:38 Gives you time for a mid-card title.
32:40 Gives you time for tag.
32:41 Gives you time for either the other mid-card title
32:43 or the other world championship.
32:44 Women's world championship, another match, and a blood feud,
32:47 and maybe something else for a laugh.
32:49 Multi-man.
32:51 Sure.
32:52 I mean, we were discussing six earlier.
32:54 And it's the right answer.
32:56 So that's six right there.
32:59 Well, I placed mine first, and then you decided to place yours above mine.
33:03 Yeah.
33:03 What happened to the brain check?
33:05 What?
33:06 What happened to the brain check?
33:07 We were actually using it to come up with brain triplets.
33:10 [LAUGHTER]
33:11 I don't think you heard me say BT, Dan.
33:13 It took a lot of brain power to use that.
33:15 Well, me and Pete were sharing the brain that day.
33:18 Here you go.
33:19 Six.
33:20 Can only be one of us at a time, clearly.
33:24 I think you don't need to have every title on every pay-per-view.
33:28 I agree, which is why I went seven.
33:30 Nice.
33:31 Similar thought.
33:32 This comes from the time where I was watching wrestling.
33:35 There were about seven pay-per-view matches per show.
33:38 And there were pretty solid pay-per-views during that time.
33:41 This comes from a time that you were watching wrestling.
33:44 Yeah.
33:45 So you're not watching wrestling now.
33:48 We've uncovered the truth.
33:50 It's a conspiracy.
33:51 Wait a second.
33:52 That's not his real face.
33:53 That's a mask.
33:54 What?
33:55 Fuck.
33:56 And it's Diane Weese.
34:01 It's been there the whole time.
34:05 I do believe in a sort of longer show with more space to breathe for the matches and
34:10 the way it goes.
34:11 But as I was visualising a card and I was seeing the number of little graphics that
34:18 I wanted, I felt the perfect number was seven.
34:22 Very good.
34:23 All right.
34:24 When I wrote down my answer, I was actually watching Dan Leighton visualising other people
34:30 visualising the perfect card.
34:32 And the correct answer is seven.
34:35 Wow.
34:36 Look at that.
34:37 If it wasn't for me.
34:39 Wow.
34:40 Look at that.
34:41 So that's it.
34:42 We didn't manage to get six and it's all peaceful.
34:47 Thank you for joining us for No Holes Board.
34:51 We'll be back next week where we'll be playing.
34:54 What are we going to play next week, Tempest?
34:56 We are going to be playing Say Anything.
34:58 Anything.
34:59 See you then.
35:00 Jam that jam.
35:01 Jam that jam.
35:02 Jam it.
35:03 Deepest V.
35:04 No.
35:05 Deepest V.
35:06 Most unnecessary nipples on a podcast.
35:09 Deepest V.
35:11 Sluttiest presenter, brackets, low, cut top.
35:13 - Slow cut time. (laughing)
