That's the business. Now, let's talk some other business. Jeff. 49 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: We mentioned last week. I am actively going out with 50 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: my own personal wrestling federation. This was a thing that 51 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: I announced about two years ago, a year and a 52 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: half ago on the Ariel Haijwani show, that I was 53 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: going to try to do this. I'm at the point 54 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: now where we're out pitching. I've pitched to one place. 55 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: It's still actively out there. They haven't said yes, they 56 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: haven't said no. The fact that they're still talking about 57 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: it is a good thing. If they say no, I'll 58 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: let you guys know. I'll share all the good and 59 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: the bad. I want to share this whole process with you. 60 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: The only thing I can't share right now are the 61 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: names of the places I've gone. I'm not trying to 62 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: have people hate on them if they say no. But 63 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: I had another pitch this morning just before the show 64 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: started at a place that likes wrestling friendly faces. They 65 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: had seen what we had shot and asked if they 66 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: could have the meeting, which is always a good thing. 67 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: The last place. We asked for the meeting and then 68 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: showed them what we shot and then answered questions, and 69 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: they came in hot with questions, but they were all real, 70 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: real good. What's your vision, how's it going to be 71 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: different from this? How's it going to be different from that? 72 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: What kind of matches do you want to have? We 73 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: saw a GCW match, or you're going to have deathmatic 74 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: things like that. They had actually done some research and 75 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: the meeting was much longer. They were very passionate about it, 76 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: and it was I've only pitched to one other place, 77 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: but this was this pitch went way way better based 78 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: on their reaction to the materials and to us, my 79 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: two producers and me, and I think they basically said 80 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: everything but yes. So I think I have a home. 81 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: If they say no, I will let you guys know 82 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: and cry out. I'll ask you to cry me a river, 83 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: crime me o river. But I really feel confident about this. 84 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: I felt confident about the first one, but as time 85 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: goes on, even though that's not a no, it makes me. 86 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: Feel like, oh, it's going to be a no. 87 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: These these people said everything but the word yes. So 88 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: I feel crazy confident about I've got four more places 89 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: to go. I'll let you guys know about all of them. 90 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: But Jeff, do you have any questions about the federation, Sir, I'm. 91 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: Just really excited about it. I'd like to ask you, 92 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: like I'm a press journalist, how will this federation be 93 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 3: different than the other current federations. 94 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, every federation is 95 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: relying on its wrestlers. Your wrestlers get get over. It's 96 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: the promoter's job to put the wrestler in the best 97 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: position possible to get over. If the wrestler doesn't get over, 98 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: it's my philosophy is if the wrestler doesn't get over, 99 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: I screwed up. If the wrestler does get over, I 100 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: didn't screw up, and they did all the They did 101 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: all the work. I just provided the platform for them 102 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: to be on. I can't give away anything before I 103 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: sell it, but I will say the look of it 104 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: will be much different than AEW and WWEKA. There was 105 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: a show called Lucha Underground which utilized space really really well, 106 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: which had a cool look to it. 107 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: I always like that. 108 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm going to do that, but I 109 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: would say I'm somewhere in between like what WWE and 110 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: ae W are doing. But Freddy, they're so different, you 111 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And somewhere in between Lucha Libre 112 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: or Luca Lucha underground, somewhere in the middle there is 113 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: where I'm at, and it's going to be the presentation 114 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: of it that I hope makes it stand out, that 115 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: I hope makes people feel compelled to watch and see 116 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: what the hell it is we're going to do and 117 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: how the wrestlers are going to use the environment in 118 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: this promotion. I think I said that safely enough. So yeah, man, 119 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm really excited. Like I said, I was getting nervous 120 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: after a week went by and still no word. But 121 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: I was talking to my producers who have done this 122 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: a lot, and they're like, no, man, that's a good thing. 123 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: If it's a no, it's a no quick. They're they're 124 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: trying to make this work over there. So I don't 125 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: know where our home is going to be, but I 126 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: think we're going to have a home, Dude, I think we're. 127 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: Going to have a home. 128 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: And no, I won't be champion in my own promotion. 129 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 3: Well why not? You're a famous person, isn't That segue 130 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 3: is perfectly into what we're going to talk about today. 131 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,119 Speaker 2: Yes, it does. 132 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to say that I'm professional enough that that 133 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: was a deliberate move and you were professional enough to. 134 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: Catch the pitch. We're going to talk about celebrities. 135 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: In professional wrestling. I am going to start by saying, 136 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of this, but dude, you did it, 137 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: all right, but hear me out, hear me out, I 138 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: did it. And I specifically said this to the guy 139 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: who was running ROW at the time. His name was 140 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: Brianka Wurtz. I said, all these guys that you have 141 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: coming in suck and they're not selling Randy's shit, and 142 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: that's bullshit. And if you're going to have somebody come 143 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: in and do it, just have me freaking come in 144 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: and do it. And he goes, okay, well we'll work 145 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: something out. And so he comes up with a story 146 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: and he goes, we're going to have you take an 147 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: RKO from Randy. And then Randy was like, dude, all 148 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: I've been doing is rkos. I want to do the 149 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: modified backbreaker instead, just to do something different. I said, cool, 150 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: we're at They say Saint Louis. I go, that's his hometown. Man, 151 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna cheer at my death. They're not gonna boo him. 152 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: They were trying to get him boothed. That's why he 153 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: was beating up all the celebrities. And I'm like, don't 154 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: you understand, Like the fans don't want celebrities in the ring. 155 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna cheer every time they get fucked up. Excuse 156 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: my language. And they're like, na, nah, they love you 157 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: because you worked here. It's all gonna work. It did 158 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: not work. They cheered when I took the backbreaker, and 159 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: I'm sitting there, grimacing in pain. 160 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, yeah, right, Like he did it wrong. 161 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: He kind of botched it. No, he he did it right. 162 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: I did it wrong. 163 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: Oh how did you do? 164 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: I didn't let my feet hit. 165 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: I kept him up and I kept him up in 166 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: the air and so I didn't take any of the 167 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: impact with my feet.

None worse if 339 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: I had to pick than Ronda Rousey. That's the worst 340 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 3: one that we've ever had. 341 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: That one's tricky because you got the feelings. She never 342 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: loved it. She was only doing it for the whatever 343 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: other reason it was, but it wasn't passion, and so 344 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: I don't think the fans ever got behind her. And 345 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: then she kind of turned on the fans and it's 346 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: it's like, yo, they're they're sensing something. Yeah, for sure, 347 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: they they wanted to cheer for you, they wanted to 348 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: like and love you. But something's not happened and something's 349 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: not clicking that made them do that. Let's find out 350 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: what that is and let's work on that. And I 351 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: think if you don't get the opportunity or you don't 352 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: want to work at that and evolve, then that's when 353 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: you kind of fall into that. And now she just 354 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: sounds like she hates wrestling, She hates wrestling fans, and 355 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: she hates everything about the business. She likes Hunter a 356 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: little bit from what I only have seen like little 357 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: blurbs from an interview she did, but she doesn't seem 358 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: to like wrestling. 359 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 2: Very much well. 360 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 3: And also they tried to trick us. I don't know 361 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 3: if she tried to trick us or wrestling tried to 362 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 3: trick us, but it was like, Oh, she's always loved 363 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 3: wrestling and she's always wanted to be in wrestling. But 364 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: you know, when someone tries to talk wrestling with you, 365 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: I guarantee this has happened to you, Freddie, I guarantee 366 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: it's happened to our producer Alex where someone knows you 367 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 3: like wrestling, so they try to like talk wrestling with you, 368 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 3: but you can tell within thirty seconds that they've you know, 369 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 3: they just kind of think the idea of wrestling is funny, 370 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 3: but they don't know. They don't really don't necessarily so 371 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 3: be like remember like Ultimate. 372 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: Warrior like don't know that. I'll be like, I'll be like, yeah, 373 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: remember be Brian Blair and they're like, oh, oh yeah, yeah, 374 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: totally yeah. 375 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, all right, And I think that that's 376 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 3: kind of what happened with Ronda, Like they pitched us 377 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: this story that she's always been a fan, and now 378 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 3: that UFC is kind of this closed chapter, like she 379 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 3: wants to come be a wrestler. But then you got 380 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 3: there and you could just tell she had no idea 381 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 3: about wrestling. She stole someone's costume for her. 382 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 2: Well, a lot of wrestlers do that. 383 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 3: I won't not as as that. 384 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: Some dude, but but you're right. Everything you're saying is right. 385 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: They bought her like the most popular song of like 386 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 3: the eighties, they and then I wanted to saw a 387 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: girl version of Roddy Piper, like and then like they 388 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 3: forced that storyline like well, the jacket was given. 389 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 2: To her by the daughter of Roddy Piper. 390 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 3: Like shot up. It's all just such a reach. Everything 391 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 3: was such a reach, and she couldn't at the end 392 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 3: of the day on the mic. She couldn't communicate and 393 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 3: connect with the audience. In the ring, her moves weren't 394 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 3: as good in professional wrestling as they were in judo, 395 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 3: and I just don't think she was able to put 396 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 3: in the work necessary to improve those things. I wish 397 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 3: she didn't hate wrestling though, you know, wrestling really wanted 398 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 3: to like her, and I felt like wrestling gave her 399 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 3: a good chance. But yeah, man, that one didn't work. 400 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 3: We were tough on poor Snoop. 401 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: But I will say this, Snoop has had WrestleMania moments 402 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: that have worked. 403 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Snoop's awesome. He just me on that last one. 404 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 2: That last one did not work. 405 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't. I just don't need him commentating, 406 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 3: that's all. And commentating is different than wrestling, for sure, 407 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 3: you know different. You can beat up the miss anytime 408 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: we've seen when Michael Cole got in the ring, you know, 409 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 3: it's like, oh boy, you shouldn't be in single. Michael 410 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 3: Cole in the ring is like Snoop Dogg on the mic. 411 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: You know, it's like let's just stick to the things 412 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: we're good at here. 413 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: He could have won that ladder match.
