Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are going to explore the wild world of wrestling costume. Wrassling. Wrassling! That’s right. And, uh. Which way should we go? Okay. All right. Okay. I’m gonna pick them back up. Let’s freeze frame. ((Dramatic Music)) Oh, man, it smells. Describe it, in a British accent from the breast. It smells a little bit like, someone’s hot breath has been inside of here. Someone who’s been eating almonds. Someone who’s been munching on almonds, salted and roasted. Does it smell like a mix of something? Does it smell like a mix of two things? Like maybe one thing is a. A bunghole! Yep. A bunghole! And another thing. Is the coochie coo! Ah, yes! Okay, this is. It is warm in here. I’m very loud to myself, I don’t know how loud I am to you. Stevie, how loud is I? ((Laughing)) – [Stevie] You’re good. You’re good. I say, keep the masks on and continue on your way. What are you trying to say? I don’t know if Mikayla was eating almonds, but I know that I was. So I think that’s what I’m smelling. You’re smelling almonds because you literally just finished chewing some. ((Laughing)) Yeah. Okay, let’s take a look at a wrestling costume. What if I went out and walked my dogs in one of these? You probably, the neighbors would notice and begin talking. Maybe, maybe some, there’d be some like footage from inside of a house of me like walking by. You’d get on TikTok. That’s how, hey, that’s how you can get on TikTok. Yeah, it is. But then, you know, people won’t know it’s me because my face is covered. Oh, they’ll know. Cause of my dogs? Yep. Everybody recognizes your dogs cause they’re on this famous show, Link. Christy texted me right before we started cause, you know, I brought Jade in and did not know why. I don’t ask questions. But I didn’t bring Jasper in. And, Christy texted me and said that Jasper is having a very difficult time without Jade being at home. – [Rhett] Oh, really? What is he saying? He’s, he’s whimpering a lot and he’s walking around looking for her everywhere. He doesn’t know that she’s just not present. Well, he knows that she’s not present, that’s why, that’s why he’s looking. – [Rhett] But why is he looking for her? Yeah, he thinks. He thinks she’s somewhere in the house. In the house. Yeah, that’s right, that’s right. She’s gonna come home with like a really crappy wash. ((Laughing)) Maybe she’ll be rewashed, we don’t know. What happened to you? Oh, okay. Alright, so. Let’s start with, I don’t wanna start with that one. Let’s start with Goldust. Now. I like how the D, there’s only one D in Goldust. I didn’t realize that. Goldust. Gold, us. My, my suggestion here is that, take everything that you know about this wrestler out of the equation, and you’re only judging the outfit. You’re not judging the name. You’re not judging the persona, you’re just judging the, the outfit. This is a cool outfit, dude. This is, this is like a superhero. I mean, I’m getting a little warm in this dog head. You want to take a break and just go mouth out? Just mouth out? Or full face out? Just to take a little break. I was just making the point that like, I bet he’s hot in this thing. Isn’t that Dusty Rhodes son? Oh! – [Carney] That’s right. Goldust is Dusty Rhodes son, right? I, they look. – [Carney] Cody Rhodes brother. Who rode? – [Carney] Cody Rhodes. Okay. – [Carney] WWE wrestler. And didn’t, there was something about him where. He looks like it. He was Goldust and he didn’t like being Goldust. Is that true? Well, he got. – [Carney] Cody Rhodes didn’t like being Stardust. Stardust. There was, oh, so it was Goldust and Stardust. He didn’t wanna be Stardust. This is like, it, it’s definitely like a throwback to. This is cool. A little bit of a luchador kind of thing, even though it’s, it’s face paint, isn’t it face paint? Yeah, it’s face paint. Hold on, is it, what? There’s a patch of hair right there that looks like real paint. It’s a mohawk. Yeah. Cause, it’s a, it’s a. It’s paint. But it’s only on the front of his head. Like, that’s a really dinky mohawk. He had a dinky mohawk. I mean, the dude made a really strange mohawk on his head in order to complete his costume. I think that’s commitment. This is number one. Number one so far. This is number one so far. Let’s go with Mankind. Mankind now, did what, what is the story here with Mankind? That he? He’s not, he’s, he has escaped from a, a treatment center, we might call it. Yeah. He’s not, he’s not the most predictable guy. Right. He. But he apparently is a businessman. He needs to be under the care of a, of a team of professionals. And he’s not, he’s wrestling. So, he’s still got his Hannibal Lecter mask on. He is a businessman. His sock puppet. And he has a sock puppet. Is he just a Mormon on a mission? He’s a Mormon in, like, the very end of a two year mission. Right. Like, he’s been through it all. In a very difficult location. Carney, what are we missing about Mankind? Because this seems a little bit thrown together. – [Carney] Yeah, I don’t know what you want me to say. He, he was, it was probably the most popular. Mick Foley had three characters. This was personas, if you will. Yes. – [Carney] This was his most popular champion. It’s giving Party City. Yeah. – [Carney] Giving Party City. Yep. Sorry, but it is. Yeah, right. Not working for us. I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna maybe do this again. Do that again. – [Carney] That thing on his hand is called Socko, and he would put it in people’s mouths to, force them to pass out. Oh, really? Did it have chloroform on it? – [Carney] Oh, maybe. Maybe he was eating almonds. Or maybe he just whispered, when I put this in your mouth, pass out. Fall asleep. Pass out. Yeah, they usually work that stuff out ahead of time. And next we have The Paul Brothers. I like that, Link. That was good. No, only, only, Logan Paul is. – [Rhett] So far. – [Link] So far. My prediction is that Jake will join him in wrestling. – [Link] When the time is right. Yep. But you heard it here first. These are the Road Warriors. These are like, an 80’s. They came up in like, not even WWF, but I remember them from like the NWA, the National Wrestling Association. But then I’m, I’m sure they came over at some point. I got them a little bit mixed up with the. These guys are cool. The Bushwhackers? No, these are pre Bushwhackers. I know they are, but I’m just saying. Look, Road Warriors had to, had to crawl so that the Bushwhackers could whack As it should be. Right, Carney? We’re asking Carney because. He’s a, he’s an expert. He’s really, he’s really an expert. – [Carney] Yeah, what you said is right. These guys. I’m sympathetic to a duo. This is, I know this is Hawk and, what’s the other one? Hawk and the other one. Spider? No. There’s a spider on his forehead. And I thought there was a third one at one point, maybe I’m wrong but. – [Carney] There was a third one, that’s Animal you’re thinking of though, right there, Hawk and Animal. Hawk and Animal. Great names for some Road Warriors. You know, they go out on the road and they war. They have. But really, it’s just modified shoulder pads. Yeah. Let’s just be real about this. These are football shoulder pads with spikes. And they would have different colors at different times. It’s definitely better than Mankind. But you had to take this off in order to wrestle. You know, I don’t think Goldust took that off to wrestle, did he? Yeah, he did. – [Carney] No, he wore that. He did not. He wrestled in that. He wore the whole Lycra suit or whatever it is? – [Carney] He was so sweaty at the end of every match. Oh gosh. Well, okay, how do we award that? If you take it off. He’s winning. That’s how we award it. Okay. I don’t have anything against that. I’m gonna take this off for a little bit cause I don’t know What it’s doing to your hair? I don’t know what it’s doing to my hair and that’s I’ve been punished enough. For tying with you. Yeah, I might get, I might, I’m getting a little forehead, forehead crinkle. Gotta get rid of that. Okay. Check out this guy. The Boogeyman. Now, he’s new to me. I’m sorry. I appreciate the fact. ((Laughing)) Boogeyman is new to you? I don’t know about the Boogeyman. A lot of people spell Boogeyman with one O and that always. That’s a bogey man. That always gets to me. Cause that is a bogey man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why do they do that? It’s, it’s, the Boogeyman, he’s, he boogs. He’s got two O’s. Carney, you’re gonna have to tell us about this guy. Is that, good, great, I mean. – [Carney] He came along in sort of a fallow creative era of WWE where they were just throwing stuff against the wall and, like, lots of weird gimmicks, and he pops up still from time to time, but nobody really likes the Boogeyman. So, he’s got a clock, he’s sort of like a man who comes to haunt your dreams. – [Carney] That was his thing, yeah. Yeah. You know, that’s, that’s what I’m. – [Carney] He would eat worms, and worms would come out of his mouth. Oh! Oh, really? You can’t see that in the costume though, so I don’t know if that’s technically part of the costume. Because he gets worm points from me. So he has hair, he has a necklace on that is, that has a bunch of hair. That’s cool. – [Rhett] He’s pretty scary. – [Link] I do like that. He looks amazing. – [Rhett] He’s pretty scary. – [Link] I mean, he’s committed. If you, if you went to your neighbor’s garage at Halloween and had to walk around in his homemade thing and this guy popped out, you’d be like, wow. You’ve really done it this year. You’ve done it this year. You’re gonna, if we have a contest, you’re gonna win it. Boogeyman going in second place. Interestingly, interesting how Goldust, or “Gol-dust”, is holding strong at number one for you. Really hard for, you know, this guy can’t win. I mean, look at this. I mean, this can’t win. It’s not creative enough. – [Link] It’s pretty. – [Rhett] It’s too simple. – [Link] Alright, alright. We can readjust in a little bit. Let’s go with, let’s go with a classic here. Woo! Ric Flair! Ric Flair. – [Rhett] His costume was a robe. – [Link] I mean his persona, it was so much just like his delivery and his. – [Rhett] It was his personality. – [Link] His personality. So he, nature boy, I don’t, like, what does it mean to be a nature boy? I actually never broke that down. Does that mean he likes to camp? He doesn’t seem like the type of, he wears a sequined robe. I don’t think he likes to camp. Maybe glamp. It is kind of amazing that he was just kind of your quintessential wrestler. I’m just here to wrestle. It’s a little bit of a Kurt Angle, was that that guy’s name? Yeah. He was just a wrestler as well, but he kind of took the, like, USA vibe, because he was an actual wrestler. Yeah. But, Ric Flair is like the Elvis of wrestling. I think that’s where this robe comes in. He’s old school braggadocio. He doesn’t need much more than that. But I don’t think it was about his costume as much. And so. But the robe was effortless. It’s definitely better than Mankind. For sure, yeah. We’re not crazy. I think it might be better than, I don’t know, man. The Road Warriors, they took something, they made it themselves, but they elevated it. They elevated, football pads. Football pads. What about this jerk? Doink the Clown? Is this a Simpsons character? What’s going on here? Krusty’s brother? Well, this is the worst costume I’ve ever seen. Why? Why? Why you say that? Take a gander at it. Well, he. He bought it somewhere. Yeah, this is. It’s awful. This is purchased. It’s awful. I think it’s worse than Mankind. Like, I could go become Doink in seven minutes from now. Do you know what I’m saying? Just by going to the Party City. Yep, we’re gonna switch these two. Now, was Doink particularly scary, Carney? – [Carney] He did have a sort of, yeah, like, evilness to him. He was supposed to be kind of an evil clown. And this was like in the heyday of gimmicks, when everybody was like a plumber, or a repo man, or a clown. Like, this was, yeah. A repo man. So, so he, it was a, he was going a little farther. I mean, he was head to toe. Well. I don’t know, we’re putting him last. Yeah. Just because we can see his feet, doesn’t mean we’re gonna give him extra points. Stevie, have you ever sat back and watched a match? – [Stevie] Never. Never? Cassie’s not into wrestling? – [Stevie] No. Interesting. Seems like she would be. We should do that. We should do that sometime. Your house or mine. – [Stevie] I’m not really a, I don’t know. I don’t wanna offend, I don’t, I don’t even know how to offend. So, I’m not even gonna. You already are, I think. – [Stevie] Yeah, I think so. Alright. Okay. What do you think about this guy? Alright, this is, if you asked me to just think about the best wrestling costumes of all time, he would be immediately atop of my list. Randy Savage, I mean, It was, like, so flashy, like the, he was way, he was ahead of his time with this like fluorescent leopard print stuff, like. Oh gosh, it’s so great. It’s very, like, early 90’s, right? When he really started to go in. He always was like neon and flashy, but then he just kept going and kept going. He was the macho man. You know what I’m saying? Like, when you hear nature boy, like you said, this isn’t consistent with nature boy. This is consistent with macho. Cause when you think macho, you think. Yellow hat. Sunglasses. Yeah. You know, machos, machos really back in now, with all the podcasts. About how to be a macho man. You know? That’s true. Nobody’s wearing a yellow hat yet, but they will be soon. Christy’s favorite is Macho Man. And I don’t know why, because it’s like, do you know how he treated Miss Elizabeth? He wouldn’t, I mean, the whole bit. We’re talking about his costume. The whole bit was he wouldn’t let. We’re not talking about his character. Like, he wouldn’t let her talk. Well, why’d you have to bring that up? Cause I was about to put him at number one. Yeah, but we’re just talking about it. It was a bit though. It was, you know. He was so macho. We don’t know what their personal life was like. I’m sure they had a real healthy relationship behind the scenes. You think they were actually together? I don’t know. Were they actually together, Carney? – [Carney] I just realized that we’ve all been saying his name wrong. It’s actually, if you look at the placard, Randy Savange. Oh, yeah. Savange. Yeah, sorry. This is a different guy. Yeah. Randy Savange. What is Savange? Is that a scent? I’ve got a couple of shirts made out of it. This is my Savange shirt. I mean, it’s so flashy. Can we put it number one, man? Come on, let’s stick it number one. The tassels are so long. – [Rhett] That’s a costume, dude. – [Link] That is it, man. – [Rhett] It’s better than Goldust. ((Laughing)) It’s better, man. I think they could’ve teamed up, like. When Randy Savage, like, like, ran his hand through his hair, you know what came off? – Goldust. – Goldust. Alright. I just took, the fact that Goldust was in there because of nepotism, I just have a problem with that. I think, okay. He was Dusty’s son. Well, I mean, you got. There’s nothing wrong with it. There’s some great lineages in wrestling. You’re right, you’re right, you’re right. The Undertaker. Look at that dude. – [Rhett] Great persona. Great persona. What about the costume? – [Link] Black leather, wide brimmed hat, eye makeup. Heavy, heavy eyeliner. – [Rhett] I like the fact that he was willing to take that chance. Well, at first, wasn’t he masked or painted? – [Carney] Yeah, when he debuted he had sort of a Phantom of the Opera look to him, but they ditched that pretty quickly. See, Carney, he knows it all. He knows it all. You should go on Jeopardy! that’s just about wrestling. – [Carney] Yeah, I’d have to beat the ladies off with a stick. ((Laughing)) Wrestling Jeopardy! What does his? What does his belly say? B.S.M. Pride. B.D.S.M. pride? ((Laughing)) Is it a real tattoo? Or is it a costume tattoo? I think it’s real. Got that long hair, you know, like. It’s a good, it’s a good persona. It’s a good costume. But it’s not, I wouldn’t expect to roll into a funeral home and see somebody dressed in black leather. If I saw that, I wouldn’t immediately think Undertaker. I would think maybe stripper? You know what I’m saying? Yeah. Yeah. And I do feel like I could, well, I could be the Undertaker for Halloween. I mean. But he was not. All you need is a leather jacket and a hat. Yeah, well. And maybe a body. I can get that too at Party City. Yeah, yeah. Get a front piece. I can get a front body at Party City. I mean. It doesn’t, I’m trying to make sense of it. You know, the more I think about it, you know, his manager looked more like the Undertaker than he did. Like the funeral home director. funeral home director, and then he’s the guy, he was the Grave Digger, but that was a monster truck. Right, so he couldn’t, that was taken. I think he looked more like. – [Carney] Do you remember his manager’s name, one of the great wrestling names? No. – [Carney] Paul Bearer. Paul Bearer! Yes! Dang, I wish he was up here. Paul, is a name. And Bearer, yeah. Yeah. Which is a last name. I’m not gonna put him as high as maybe we’d want to, because. You think he’s just a? It, it’s, functional, but it doesn’t make as much sense. I’ll buy that. He’s above Ric Flair, because that’s just a robe. – [Link] Yeah. – [Rhett] Mankind and Doink are Party City specials. – [Link] Right. And of course, Randy Savange. Best wrestling outfit of all time. There you have it, y’all. With Goldust coming in a close second. I think he’s still trying to get out of that costume. – [Rhett] Celebrate the Mythical Society fifth anniversary with first degree monthly membership for only a dollar. February 5th through 9th.
