There are feuds, and there are feuds in the history of professional wrestling, and already and going through the round of sixteen of the TLFX Games Tournament, We've seen Dusty Rhodes and Rick Flair face off against each other. We've seen great families like the Funks and Von Erics and the Hearts have at it. We've seen great promoters face off against some of their greatest assets, when the likes
of Rnngana faces Andre the Giant. But perhaps no great feud in the history of this business has been revisited quite like this encounter we'll put back upon the table. It's really the feud that in so many ways reverse the fortunes of the World Wrestling Federation in late nineteen nineties and now it represents a huge demarcation line and a King of the Cast tournament for the ages. It's of course brought to you by garage beer, small batch
light beer, flavored beer. Definitely not an IPA. It's garage beer. When the garage is always open and we're about to open up the floor to the great micro men in the history of the business. They feuded, they've hated each other, They've aligned and then feuded once again, and they've taken wrestling fans on a one of a kind ride, both behind the scenes and behind the camera. Now, when the TLFX Games King of the Cast tournament it's on, it's
lapsed Vince McMahon and lapsed Stone Cold Steve Austin. Let's hear first from the Texas Rattlesnake, the multi time WWF champion Steve Austin. You know, I'm sitting here at the house. I'm looking at a couple of pictures of some of the things we've done over the years, Vince, and in all those years, twenty plus years, thirty plus years, forty by forty plus years, six hundred years. Sign. I don't know what the math AD's up to, but I know that for way too long now you've been pissing me off.
And that's about the last straw for Stone Cold Steve Austin. You know, this goddamn tlf X Games King of the Cast tournament opened up and I was hearing that maybe the lapsed fan doesn't really represent Steve Austin, that well, maybe they don't imitate the Texas Rattlesnake that well, Son, well, I just got done thrown a few hay bales in the back of the truck. I just got done riding atv around my multi acre property for no particular reason and flip flops. I just got done doing a damn
TikTok of my cat's son. And I can tell you I'll take that pussy over any pussy within the sound of my voice, and that includes you, Vince. I beat your ass. I've thrown you off cages. I've busted your wide open, son, I've had you on my damn podcast. I've looked you in the eye. I saw that for some reason, your tie was two colors, and I wondered to myself, you know, well, I ever see this son of a bitch again? Here I am going through the Windy's drive through getting myself a flame brawl gimmick or
was that burger king? I don't know. I was wearing a knee brace though, but I won't have to wear a knee brace, son to stomp a mud hole in your ass. In the TLFX games, you know, people talk about Vince McMahon. They talk about lapsed vans and how we some some sort of nostradamus or something. Son. Apparently, if you'll listen to what Lapsed Vince has said. Over ten years of the Lapsed Fan, You've been able to
predict every major development in this industry in the past decade. Well, Vince, you know I believed it when I heard it, But when I heard some of the things you said in the first round, yeah, assure you. You once again dominated your lifelong fuck boy and Pat Patterson to get the stone Cold Steve Auston. But that don't impress me, not
one damn bit. I'm standing here looking across at the beat the little eyes of a son of a bitch that's done nothing but lie to Stone Cold, that's done nothing but try to take money out of the pockets of Stone Cold, that's done nothing but try to defame
Stone Cold. When I took my ball and went home, so called, Well, I'm about to take my boss, son and stick it up your ass and turn this whole x Games torn him in up on its head because stone Cold Steve Austin don't lay down for anybody, and that includes the most powerful man in the history of the business. I think I proved that over the years. Because I'm riding off into the sunset, Son, and I'm
sitting on a nest Egg that likes so. But you never wanted to give anybody, let alone the black trunk's wearing former stunt in Steve Austin that you didn't even think was worth a damn when you had me fucking cut my hair like John Travolta or whatever the fucking pulp fiction I'm standing here, so Bruce willis sorry what I don't even care compare me to whoever.
You want in Hollywood.
But on this night, Stone Cold Steve Austin's putting the trunks back on, Son. I'm strapping on those knee braces, I'm throwing on that BMF leather vest and the t LFX game. Son, It's just gonna be another time when Vince McMahon thought he was gonna get one more over on Stone Cold Steve Austin and found out quite the opposite. Was in the cards you can kiss my ass, I
get the hell out of here, starting to piss me off. Well, it's certainly still clearly the case that just the mere utterments of the name Vince McMahon brings out a certain unique fury, and the old stone called Steve Austin, he's bringing that vigor, he's bringing that fire. He's bringing that animus to this next round matchup against lapsed Vince. We've seen all sides of him over ten years of TLF podcasting.
Let's see what he has to say to get past his great lifelong nemesis, Stone Cold Steve Austin to advance in the King of the Cast.
You know, people in this world could never be happy with what they've got. You want more and more and more, and it's a vicious cycle that just goes on and on on. And we here in the Vince mcman headquarters of the universe, the Devil's Home. We know exactly what people want. We know exactly what greed is, and we me I like to emphasize greed in other people. I like to emphasize greed and want and desire and envy, because when it comes down to it, everybody in this
world is envious of Vincitic Man. Everybody wants what Visitic Man has. Everybody needs what Vincic Man has. Nobody in the history of the professional entertainment business lasted as long as I did. I have been here and I will always be here. But you may think that I'm off in a way doing things of that nature keeping quiet, keeping low. Let me tell you something. My fingers are always in the pie. I know, I know what you all think, know what you all want, and maybe I'll
feed you a little tidbits here and there. But when push comes to shove, Vince McMahon is the one in power, and so we've got Steve Austin here. He wants something to He wants to beat Vincenick Mahn. He wants to move on in this King of the Cast tournament. He wasn't there at the beginning. I was there at the beginning. I decided that a Steve Austin would exist. I decided that a Hulk Coogan would exist. I decided that a Rick Flair would exist. I decided that a John Cena
would exist. Everybody has existed because of my desire to make it happen. And we can talk about all the qualities in the verticals and horizontals of corporate infrastructure, but what we have going on right now is an age
old feud boss versus employee. We've been doing this stand since nineteen ninety seven, Steve, and maybe you've had the upper hand of certain times, or maybe that's what you thought, Because there is nobody better in this entire universe that is better at making you think that you've earned something, at making you think that you won something, at making you think that you were dominant, than Vince McMahon. Only
one man has proven pure dominance. I've dominated the wrestling industry, I've dominated the entertain industry, I've dominated football, and I will dominate the presidency of the United States. No vote needs to happen, No election needs to happen. Vince McMahon
is was and always will be Steve Austin. You were my puppet, and I'm the puppet master, and I am going to take my little puppet and I'm going to throw him in the fire, watch him burn, and feel good about myself because I know that you can't win, and I know that I always win.
Chilling words, and you may be tempted to perhaps take them at less than face value. But if the first round of the tlfx G Sames Tournament is any indication, no one is more dominant than lapsed Vince. His opposition in the first round, Lapsed Pat Patterson, despite an impassioned plea to you and the TLF Solar System, only receiving a measly six point seven percent of the vote. No one else was defeated as strongly as Patterson was by Lapsed Vince, who came in with an astounding ninety three
point three percent of your first round vote. As for Steve Austin, he was able to topple Lapsed Lord Alfred Hayes eighty point seven percent to nineteen point three percent, also a very impressive differential, but dwarfed in magnitude by that of the leader in terms of first round percentage.
Get Lapsed Vince. It's going to be another collision for the Ages between the Texas Rattlesnake and the Chairman of the Board, and that will do it for the TLFX Games event center for this our round of sixteen in the King of the Cast. Who will make it to the eight, Who will make it to the quarterfinals? Who will make it all the way to being crowned the greatest character in the history of the Lapse Fan podcast ten years running of podcasting. The vote will soon be
in your hands. Keep your eyes and ears on the Lapsed fans X account for your chance to pass judgment and to cast your vote to determine the King of the Cast. I'm Sean Mooney, and we'll see as soon as the tlf X games unfold.
