  • - Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.

  • Welcome to "The Super Slow Show."

  • I've been into wrestling for a long time.

  • - Yeah. - Right?

  • Have you ever seen real lucha wrestling before?

  • - I've seen some mental videos... - Yeah, it's pretty cool.

  • ...of lucha wrestling.

  • They just, like, jump off ladders,

  • slam each other around the ring.

  • So it sounds like we should get

  • some super slow motion footage

  • of two really hench, buff, muscular dudes

  • lobbing each other around a wrestling ring.

  • Well, I mean, maybe--

  • maybe I should've gone to the gym a couple of years ago.

  • Yeah, it's clearly not us.

  • Luckily, we've got two real lucha wrestlers with us

  • who are plenty beefy.

  • - Ooh, flip! - Made it.

  • Watch out for your John Thomas and, uh, vegetables.

  • That's way more painful than it looks.

  • - Hey, guys. - What are your names?

  • My name is John Hennigan, AKA The Mayor of Slamtown.

  • And this right here is Luchasaurus.

  • Hi, how's it going?

  • - Aah! Whoa. - I'd be careful for that one.

  • - Jeez. - Half dinosaur, half luchador.

  • - ( growls ) - He's been cutting his carbs.

  • Carbohydrate depletion kind of gets Luchasaurus a little bit cranky.

  • How much can you bench? I'm just curious.

  • - ( growls ) - What can't he bench?

  • That's a good answer for a half-dinosaur.

  • He doesn't really do a lot of bench stuff.

  • Luchasaurus is more into functional fitness,

  • a lot of injury-prevention balance, stability.

  • He's obviously a clever guy.

  • Oh, yeah. He has a master's degree in medieval history.

  • - No way. - Well, actually,

  • it's in 12th Century Romance literature

  • and the works of Chrétien de Troyes

  • and Wolfram von Eschenbach.

  • Huh. Wha--

  • - He's bowled over. - All right. Okay.

  • John: Wrestling's all about misdirection.

  • Okay, so I think what we should start with--

  • get both of you guys in the ring

  • doing some moves, your favorite moves

  • that you think will look great in slow-mo.

  • And we'll capture it on our two Phantom cameras,

  • and we'll just get out of your hair.

  • Sounds like a plan to me.

  • I think my money's on Luchasaurus.

  • I'm gonna bet with John just 'cause--

  • - I'm standing right here. - Sorry.

  • - ( bell rings ) - Safe match, brother.

  • - Aah! - Ooh, foul play.

  • That is awful.

  • He just threw, like, a 250-pound man across the ring.

  • Ooh!

  • How many times did he spin?

  • That was like a 360 in the air.

  • Oh, man.

  • It's not looking good for my boy.

  • No, it's not. Think he'll probably win.

  • Oh. Give you some space.

  • You go ahead, do your thing.

  • That's what I'm talking about, Saurus!

  • - Oh, man. - That was epic, guys.

  • - Here you go. - Jeez.

  • You bet on Luchasaurus.

  • Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry.

  • All right, I think we should go and head to the monitors

  • and watch what we just shot. How about that?

  • - Yes. - Is he, uh-- is he dead?

  • - ( growls ) - Whoa.

  • Easy! Okay.

  • Let's get out of here.

  • Hell, yeah.

  • You can see, we really slowed you guys down.

  • - Gav: It looks-- - John: Damn, that's slow.

  • Dan: That is slow.

  • Luchasaurus: I'm about to get your ass.

  • Dan: Look at that twist. You twisted so early.

  • - Oh, man. - It's amazing.

  • Damn.

  • Oh, welcome to Slamtown.

  • That's one very annoyed dinosaur.

  • - All: Oh! - Ooh.

  • Gav: So you're looking down.

  • Dan: And he's in midair.

  • Gav: Is it mainly the tuck that gets you spinning?

  • Is that how you do that?

  • John: It's the direction of the force.

  • Gav: Look at the hair as well.

  • John: It's like an upwards impact.

  • Dan: Annihilated on the floor.

  • John: You've got my ass on that one, dude.

  • ( laughter )

  • Damn.

  • Gav: Do you get, like, free chiropractor after every year?

  • Oh, man, we're pro wrestlers. We don't get nothing free.

  • Dan: You're so high in the air there.

  • - John: Oh! - Gav: Connects with the face.

  • - ( Luchasaurus growls ) - Oh, man.

  • John: What's the last thing going through your mind

  • before you hit the mat? My foot.

  • Gav: Yes, the hair's great. It's almost like--

  • It looks like the hair is in water. Right?

  • Just the hair.

  • Did you see the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie?

  • Dan, what happened?

  • Well, he just made me go and put this on.

  • What's your wrestling name?

  • Shidanigans.

  • - Shidanigans? - ( roars )

  • That's really annoying.

  • - ( bell rings ) - You got this.

  • Oh, Christ.

  • - Nice catch. - All right.

  • I got it.

  • Oh, man.

  • - Be safe. - I don't think he likes you.

  • Oh!

  • He falls for it every time.

  • Oh!

  • Slow your roll. Eh?

  • I don't know if you know how tag team wrestling works, but...

  • Oh, right, so I get Gav as partner?

  • Yeah, you get a partner. I get a partner.

  • Actually, I have a phone call that I've gotta take.

  • It's, like, a really important one with YouTube.

  • ( growls )

  • - Dan, behind you. - ( muttering )

  • Let's take him to Slamtown, bro.

  • Oh, guys.

  • Oh!

  • - Luchasaurus: Yeah. - That was beginner's luck.

  • That could've happened to anybody.

  • I wonder how much total time of your life

  • you've spent upside down if you just added up all the seconds.

  • More than most people, I'm guessing.

  • Probably more than most people.

  • Yeah.

  • What did you think of his name and his catchphrase?

  • Shidanigans is good. Shidanigans.

  • Above average, I think.

  • Gav: This is great, 'cause Dan's thinking,

  • "How did my life end this way?"

  • John: Aww, yeah! Now it's...

  • ( laughter )

  • That's six stars. That's a six star face.

  • Gav: He looks like he's on the toilet,

  • but he's just floating in the air.

  • - Oh! - Oh!

  • Well, hopefully you enjoyed that video.

  • Feel free to subscribe to The Slow Mo Guys,

  • and we will see you in the very next episode

  • of "The Super Slow Show."

  • You all right, Dan?

  • ( coughs, groans )

  • Hi, guys. Click here to catch up

  • on our latest adventures.

  • I barely survived, so I hope you like them.

  • Dan did complain a lot.

  • - I do all the work. - Most of it.

  • - You do 90%. - I do all the work.

  • All right, fine.

- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
