What is the significance of the Michael Jones statue at Eden Park?
Mr. Elizabeth. Mr. Elizabeth. Mr. Elizabeth Macho Man Randy Savage. Do you think that was the peak of wrestling like that late 80s? Yes.
What were the highlights and low points of the ACC's summer of cricket?
Early 90s? Yes. Like with Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Andre the Giant. Superfly Jimmy Snooker. Million Dollar Man. Ted DBRC. Jake the Snake. Yep. All of those guys.
What are the implications of Neil Barnes joining the All Blacks coaching staff?
Coco Beware. Yeah. Flying off the top. There's athleticism. There's personality. They had it all. So much cocaine flowing around. Yeah. Rowdy Roddy Piper. Okay, maybe not him.
How is the upcoming round of Super Rugby Pacific shaping up?
But yeah, there was, oh, but I mean, Revishing Rick Rude. Come on now. Yeah. Well, all you fat, ugly, Nebraska warthogs, take a look at what a real man looks like.
Was that Donald Trump?
Was he wrestling then as well?
I think he might have wrestled there for a while. Donald Trump, anyway.
But anyway, yes, I think, even when they had, did you mention Junkyard Dog?
What feedback do listeners have in the 'Yours Please' segment?
No. Yeah. No, I didn't mention Junkyard Dog. And then, who was the big, the cop who was like a bad guy? Sergeant Slaughter? Big Boss Man. Big Boss Man.
Sergeant Slaughter.
Big Boss Man was morbidly obese. Oh, he could wrestle. Oh, yeah. And I think it peaked when the Bushwhackers came on the scene and we thought we'd made it as a country. As a country, we'd made it. But also, how sad that Andre the Giant was portrayed as a bad guy. I mean, come on.
Why? Just because he's a giant?
He used to be on the heels? You need a heel. Need a heel. And he was one of the biggest heels of all time.
Anyway. Sorry, Massey. Am I having a stroke?
No, it was a different time. Was Audrey the Giant the guy that was in The Princess Bride? Yes. Yeah, right. He apparently would drink like 60 beers. Have you seen a can in his hand? Yeah, he's a unit. It's like those little mini Coke cans that you get on the plane.
Yeah.
Anyway. He would have eaten David Boone. You're going to say Robin Wright. He would have eaten David Boone after he'd had his beers and then drank all the beers as well. Washed it down. He would have washed David Boone down with another 60 beers. Yeah, that's right. Hey, the Michael Jones, speaking of legends, the Michael Jones statue is going to remain at Eden Park. Did you see that? So thank you to Big Cola. Big Cola came along and contributed to that.
I said, do you mind if we slap our logo on the front of it?
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. So he's going to be replacing the ball with a two-litre bottle of Coke. Nice. Well, in some parts of the world, they do play with a two-litre bottle of Coke filled with sand or whatever you got. I mean, I didn't even realise that it didn't belong to Eden Park, so that was always a bit of a shock. But I've got to say, that is a winner of a statue. There have been some shockers over the years. The Ronaldo, Dwayne Wade, terrible. Have you seen Dwayne Wade?
Yeah.
I mean, wow. And obviously, Dirk Nowitzki and the anal beads, you know, how he had the fall-away three-pointer. Yes, that's right. The ball, and it's like, those are anal beads. I mean, I think they still committed to the – To the design. But yeah, Ronaldo, terrible, obviously. Oh yeah, he looks like something of the Goonies.
So how did this, sorry, how did the statue end up here if it never belonged to Eden Park? Who put it there? New Zealand Rugby?
Yeah, I don't know how that's, I just presumed it was put there in perpetuity.
Nobody knows, it's provocative. I'm just now thinking, could we just try and make a G-Lane statue somewhere and put it in if we're just kind of in the depths of the night? I think they got permission.
They got permission, obviously, for it because it was one of the iconic drives from the 1987 World Cup. So the sculptor, she's awesome, and she made the pine tree, the Colin Mead statue in Tikawiti, which is a beautiful thing of beauty. Two winners, two absolute bangers of statues. And they don't come cheap. It's expensive. But she should be world famous because she's nailed it both times and they're having shockers all around the world. Get her in there. She knows what she's doing. Well, you can just do 3D printing then, okay? All right, okay, fine. I guess you can.
