Now, 85 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: you mentioned you're about to go pick up Hulk Hogan, 86 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: but I kind of want to go back to that 87 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: very first time when you first found out you were 88 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: going to be managing Hulk. What was your first thought 89 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: about it and maybe your first thought about him. 90 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 3: Well, here's what happened. You know, Hulk and I met 91 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: many years ago. We started a Memphis wrestling with Jerry 92 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 3: the King Lawler down there. I was kind of managing 93 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 3: all the bad guys back then. Came through and he 94 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 3: was one of the people I've managed. The first time 95 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: i'd met him, I think this is back in nineteen 96 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: eighty four, really eighty four, and so I was able 97 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: to manage him. So we became friends back then, and 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 3: so finally a few years later when I finally went 99 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 3: to New York City or no, that was seventy nine, 100 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, But at eighty four when I left to 101 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 3: go to New York, the first thing when I walked in, 102 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: I saw hope that he goes I hope they're coming 103 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 3: to manage me, And I said, no, come sorry, I'm 104 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: managing all the bad guys. And so you know, what 105 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: a great run we've been friends for so many years, 106 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 3: almost forty years we've been friends. So when I had 107 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: a chance to manage him, him and Brutus the Barber, 108 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 3: Beefcake and at that particular time and we fought one 109 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 3: of my old teams, which was Teddy Biassi and Rwinard 110 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 3: Sister for the Belts at WrestleMania nine, it was just 111 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: it was a great time being back with him again. 112 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 3: And I had a great run with the Heart Foundation 113 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: and the Nasty Boys and Rougeau's and Terry Funk and 114 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: Dory Funk and Earthquake and have But look, I'm name 115 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 3: dropping right now, right, so you know, all again we 116 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: counted everybody up. I think in New York I had 117 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 3: twenty three different people that I had managed at one 118 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 3: time another and so not counting the Memphis territory. So 119 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: you know, I've had a great run. I've been blessed man. 120 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean You've had an amazing run. And 121 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: that kind of brings me into our next question. You know, 122 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: with us being here in Nashville and Memphis being a 123 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 2: short drive, both Nashville Memphis legendary wrestling towns, what was 124 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: your greatest memory of the Mid South Coliseum and then uh, 125 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: I'll ask a second question of what was your favorite 126 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: memory of the fairgrounds in Nashville, which, by the way, 127 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: they tore the building down so there is no more 128 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: no wrestling building. 129 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: Well, you know about the Nashville thing was all Memphis wrestling. 130 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 3: Somebody says so special to me. One of my favorite 131 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 3: nights is there is when I got to fight one 132 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 3: on one against Andy Kaufman in the old Nashville Place, 133 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: standing room only. You know, that was when you know, 134 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: Jerry Jerry Lawler were kind of running the territory back then, 135 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: and so it was just a great night for me 136 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: up there. But I'll have every Wednesday night we'd go 137 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 3: right up to Nashville, Tennessee and rest and then once 138 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: in a while we'd be on a Saturday night up there. 139 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 3: So it was just it was a great trip. I 140 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 3: should say, every Saturday night we'd be up in Nashville, 141 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: but then once a month on Wednesday night, we'd have 142 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 3: to go up there for it. But I love that area. 143 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 3: It's a great territory. The fans were so and they 144 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: were the real deal man. I mean, it was just 145 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: great back then. And of course in Memphis managing Jerry 146 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: Lawler there is starting down in Memphis and doing the 147 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: live TV on Channel five there and then going to 148 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 3: the coliseum every Monday night for fifty two weeks a 149 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: year for six years. I was there, never missed a show, 150 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: even with a broken jaw, broken hand that Lawler gave me. 151 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: So it was a great run, man. 152 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: And I mean it is kind of weird because I 153 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: grew up at the fair Grounds here in Nashville, wrestling 154 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: every week. That was where I was. You know, every 155 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: anytime wrestling was at the Fairgrounds, I was there. And 156 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: it's sad to see that they tore the building down 157 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: because there's just so much history in that building. 158 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 3: Well you know what this is what's so strange, you know. 159 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: To me, I still say the past is still part 160 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: of the future and everything. If you look back at 161 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: some of the country music stars, some of the ones 162 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 3: that have been around for almost twenty years are still 163 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: the same ones that are selling most of the albums 164 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: CDs now, you know, and the same thing as football, 165 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: same things. And look at look at Tom Brady down 166 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: here at Florida where we are.

What set Memphis wrestling apart from the 180 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 2: rest of the country And did you know it was 181 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: huge at the time or was it something you saw 182 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 2: years afterwards? 183 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: Well, you know, before I got Memphis Wrestling, I was 184 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 3: part of the little group called the Gentries. We had 185 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 3: a million subtle record back in the sixties called Keep 186 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: on Dancing, and so we did all that to our 187 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 3: I always love wrestling. Whenever we were on tour, we 188 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 3: did Clark whatever city I'd go to if it was 189 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 3: in the Georgia area, and I'll watched like I watch 190 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 3: the Dusty Rhodes and those guys. 191 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: You know. 192 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: I'd get up early in the morning on Saturday before 193 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 3: the show that night and watched Georgia Championship Wrestling. And 194 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: if we were in the Carolinas, it was always Rick 195 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: Claire was always my favorite back then. If it was 196 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 3: in Texas, it was the Funks or the van Erics, 197 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 3: according to where you were. So I was always a 198 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: wrestling fan. So when Jerry Laura and I went to 199 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,599 Speaker 3: high school together, he went into wrestling. I went in 200 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 3: to music. Well, our paths crossed one day to help 201 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: him with the wrestling album. The next thing, you know, 202 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 3: I managed the King in Memphis. But what made it 203 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 3: so special we got to do our own interviews. It 204 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 3: was live TV every Saturday morning. You couldn't get on 205 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 3: there and go, oh, can I do that interview over again? 206 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: Are you cray? And we're live, And that's what made 207 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: it so spontaneous. We got to do our own outfits, 208 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 3: to dress the way we wanted to dress, and really 209 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 3: be involved with this and so it really make the 210 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 3: people believe in what we were talking about, what we 211 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: were doing, you know, And I think that's what really 212 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 3: separated it from everybody and everywhere with all the other 213 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: territories around the country, right man. 214 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 2: And I think that's the thing, is like the cool 215 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: thing about the WW network is you can go back 216 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 2: and watch some of those old Memphis rastling as we 217 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 2: like to call it on the show and see what 218 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 2: it was because back you know, watching that, you had 219 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: to make sure that you were tuned in, and if 220 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: you didn't, you'd have to wait, you know, a month 221 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 2: or so for the magazines to pick up so you 222 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 2: could see what happened in Memphis. 223 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 3: Well, you're absolutely right, and in our territory. Jimmy Cornett, 224 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 3: who used to be who did all our pictures before 225 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 3: he became one of the great managers, I feel like 226 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 3: in my life, you know, knowing him. He used to 227 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 3: get all these pictures that we did back in the 228 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 3: out to New York and out to Los Angeles for 229 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 3: some of the major magazines, and that really kept us 230 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: going too. So other people knew about what we were 231 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: doing in Memphis because our TVs really didn't go into 232 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 3: those other areas and vice versa. So we owe a 233 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 3: lot to him for really being part of that to 234 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 3: really help us keep that exposure going. And so like 235 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 3: I said before, it's just been a great run for us, 236 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 3: and network really keeps everything alive, you know, And that's 237 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 3: why when we still go out and do autographs and 238 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 3: everything else too, the people still know who we are, 239 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 3: whether we're going through the airports or anywhere like that, 240 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: because of the wrestling magazines and because of this Deckum 241 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: network and that's put together, which is phenomenal. Like I said, 242 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 3: I was just reflecting the channels the other day on 243 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 3: it and got to see some of the stuff we 244 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 3: did at Legend's House with the great Pat Patterson back 245 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 3: in the day on Main Dreen Oakland and Howard Fink 246 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 3: on those guys. 247 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 2: Happy New Years from our sponsor, Manscaped.

New Year, New Balls. You know, and you 302 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: mentioned Legends House, And when I first saw that on 303 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: the network, I was tuned in. When it first came out, 304 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: I was like, this is awesome, Like it's all the 305 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 2: people you grew up watching and they're all living in 306 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: a house together. And I thought it was such a 307 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 2: great concept. So how did that that kind of come about? 308 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: And was there any discussion to do a second season? 309 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: Because after that first season, I was like I need 310 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 2: more of this, like maybe introduce more Legends into the 311 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: house or something. 312 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: Well, you know what it is when you see all 313 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: these shows now, everything's so scripted it's unreal. But for 314 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: the Legend's House, they didn't want it to be scripted. Look, 315 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 3: y'all are going to be there for thirteen weeks. Get along, 316 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 3: don't get along dot Anybody kill each other for God's sakes. 317 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 3: But the main thing is this have a great time. 318 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: It's you guys that used to travel up the roads 319 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 3: together because never really got to spend a lot of 320 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 3: time together. And that's what it was. We had like 321 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: twelve fourteen cameras on us every day. We all had 322 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 3: our partners that we had our rooms. Me and He'll 323 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: believe Jim were together, you know, So he was mine, 324 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: and I think Piper and Hacksaw Jim Duck and they 325 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 3: were roommates. Sir, everybody had your roommates. We had to 326 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 3: cook her own foods. We had to cook her own breakfast. 327 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 3: They only let us out if we went and did 328 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 3: some kind of con test or something. They would put 329 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 3: us in a big van or two big vans and 330 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 3: we'd go out and then we'd have our contests with 331 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 3: different teams. So it's such a great concept because it 332 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 3: wasn't scripted. 333 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: You know. 334 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 3: Now when you watch come out of those shows, you 335 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 3: see you could tell the punchlines are coming up before 336 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 3: they even start, you know. So I think that's what 337 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: really made it successful. And maybe it's good we didn't 338 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: do a second run of it because sometimes the second 339 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 3: episode seasons aren't as good as the first seasons, right, 340 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 3: And you know. 341 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: There was a lot of great moments that came out 342 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: of that, and I know with recently with Pat Patterson's passing. 343 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: I remember the groundbreaking moment when he you know, told 344 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: everybody about him coming out and having to kind of, 345 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: you know, live in the shadows, and he opened it 346 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 2: up right there on Legend's House. 347 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 3: Well, you're absolutely right, and Pat goes, you know, Jimmy, 348 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: he could. I want to tell everybody this, but heck, 349 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 3: the world knows it anyhow. You know, we all laughed 350 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 3: about it, but Pat was great, and you know, I 351 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: was just thinking the other day it'd be hard to 352 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 3: do another Legend's House unless we did something about memories 353 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 3: about Legend's House because out of eight people are only 354 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: four of us left. You know, Patterson passed away this 355 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 3: past month, you know, me and Jeane Stone, Howard Finkel's 356 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 3: gone and Roddy Roddy Piper a couple of years ago. 357 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: So it's it's so, you know, I'm so glad we 358 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: had a chance to do it. It become closer than 359 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: we ever were for thirteen weeks on that show. 360 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: You know. 361 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, And definitely if you have not seen Legend's House, 362 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: you need to go back and watch it. It's on 363 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: the WW network. It is a is a good watch, 364 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: especially like hearing the stories of you guys and just 365 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: putting all all in the house. It's like, you know, 366 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 2: like you said, unscripted, it's it's great. It's wrestling, real world, 367 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: that's what it is. Yeah, a good point. 368 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 3: I'll use it next time I talk to somebody. I 369 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 3: love that very good. Thank you. Of course, in the 370 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 3: real world, that's what it is. 371 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: So let's kind of go back. You talked about music 372 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: and you being in a band and all this other stuff. 373 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 2: What was your favorite theme song you've ever written for 374 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 2: a wrestler. 375 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 3: Well, the one that's got the most most airplace on 376 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 3: the Spotify thing is the one by Sewn Michaels, you know, 377 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 3: Sexy Boy, That's number one. But some of the favorite ones. 378 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 3: I loved the Rougeho Brothers because we got to write 379 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 3: our stuff and make it kind of silly and funny, 380 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 3: you know, because we didn't want people to really love 381 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: the rout Show Brothers. But one of the verses was 382 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 3: we don't like heavy metal, we don't like rock and roll. 383 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 3: All we like to listen to is Berry Manilow, which 384 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 3: made that kind of nerdy, you know, instead of going 385 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 3: led Zeppelin, you know, somebody or Van Halen. So we 386 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 3: said Barry Manilow, so everybody, what a man, what nerds needs? 387 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 3: Not that Barry Manto is a nerd.

If they didn't, we didn't, and so thank 408 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: god they liked everything that we did. So I was 409 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 3: very happy with that. Man. 410 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: And you kind of mentioned something and that some people 411 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 2: might not know this, but you just said that you 412 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: wrote the wolf Pack, the nWo wolf Pack song, right, 413 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: How did that? How did that happen? 414 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 3: Well, you know, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash were kind 415 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: of cool, you know, and then Hawk was in with 416 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: them too, so you know, Hook's always been my main man, 417 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 3: so I wanted to make sure I really do something 418 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: great for him, and so we just came up with 419 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 3: a song called the wolf Pack. And that's what we 420 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 3: call the Secretary of the nWo. You know, that's when 421 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 3: they wore the red and black. I set up the 422 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 3: black and white. And so that's kind of when Nash 423 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: Hall kind of split off on their own and did it. 424 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 3: And so I took it to Kevin Nash and Scott 425 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 3: and they loved it, and so we went with it. 426 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 3: I got a good rapper guy to help wrap it 427 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 3: for me, and and we cut it right here in Tampa, Florida, 428 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 3: over at Mars Sound Studio. And so it turned out 429 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 3: to be really, really good for us. And you know 430 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 3: what's so funny, Jason Giambi when he played for the 431 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 3: Yankees used that for his his his little theme song 432 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 3: when he went up to the batting plate to He 433 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 3: sure did, and several other people used it too, but 434 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 3: they used it.
