Speaker 1: get it going right here, all right now, this is
Speaker 1: Eyes up Here, and you're watching and listening to a
Speaker 1: brand new Eyes of deersally on our Patreon channel as
Speaker 1: well as on the Creative Control Network that you didn't
Speaker 1: know by now. My name is Chaden. Every single week
Speaker 1: we are joined hereby the one and only the legendary,
Speaker 1: and we know this because we've watched a career reperspective
Speaker 1: on her, the Queen of Extreme Francine, who would have
Speaker 1: funk it? Hello everyone, and I apologize for my my voice.
Speaker 1: I got the bottom braces put on and I am
Speaker 1: a wreck. They are horrible. You can see them if
Speaker 1: you're on Patreon. Look at this, this mess that's going
Speaker 1: on in my mouth. I can't even stand it. I'm
Speaker 1: over it already and I probably have another year ago.
Speaker 1: So you know, we were doing reads for some new
Speaker 1: sponsors and I couldn't even say certain words and it's
Speaker 1: just it's a mess here. So I do apologize, but overall,
Speaker 1: Hopefully I'll have really good teeth in a year, so
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. You've gotten better as the recording
Speaker 1: has gone on, But that was I felt bad for
Speaker 1: you when we first started talking because I could tell
Speaker 1: and I know, I saw the tweet and I knew
Speaker 1: you were going and I forgot as we sat down,
Speaker 1: but you could tell that you were. You had to
Speaker 1: work through those issues in the first couple of all.
Speaker 1: The pain is so bad. The pain is so bad,
Speaker 1: and it's like it's they're cutting my whole bottom lip.
Speaker 1: The thing kept popped the one spacer thing kept popping out,
Speaker 1: so we had to like cement it down and push
Speaker 1: it down. He got me with his hook. He scraped
Speaker 1: my whole upper roof of my mouth with the hook
Speaker 1: and all I heard was sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: And I was just like, listen, you son of a bitch,
Speaker 1: stop killing me. So I have like forty two cuts
Speaker 1: in my mouth right now, and I have wax in
Speaker 1: there because there's certain parts that are sticking out. Then
Speaker 1: I went to go feel if I had a piece
Speaker 1: of food in the other day, and I cut my
Speaker 1: finger open from the frigging metal because there was a
Speaker 1: wire sticking out and I cut my finger and I
Speaker 1: was bleeding. So I just wanted to apologize. I know
Speaker 1: you're probably all sick of hearing me out these frigging
Speaker 1: teeth of wine, but god, it's becoming a pin in
Speaker 1: the airs and half me witches. I never did this before,
Speaker 1: you know, so I don't know. It better be worth it.
Speaker 1: I should have just got Veneer, even though they would
Speaker 1: have cost me twenty grand extra. I should have just
Speaker 1: got the freaking vineers put on. Yeah, it's been funny,
Speaker 1: like how it's been. It's been over a year, right
Speaker 1: since she got it. It's seven months, that's it. I
Speaker 1: got them in June. Oh, I thought it was earlier
Speaker 1: that day. It was like a long time. I got
Speaker 1: them at the end of June last year. And you know,
Speaker 1: they had to wait to put the bottoms on because
Speaker 1: the overbite I would have bit the bottoms off. So
Speaker 1: now they're super low to the bottom and they just
Speaker 1: are ridiculous. So anyway, my essence are very bad. So
Speaker 1: you know, we we did our Twitch stream last week
Speaker 1: and we were talking about the the Chelsea Green wearing
Speaker 1: the Inspired for sixty nine. Again. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: bring it because it just as you're trying to rile
Speaker 1: me on. Oh I'm not no, no, I just this
Speaker 1: is interesting. So she wore it again right, this time
Speaker 1: on like spandex top for whatever match that they were in.
Speaker 1: They were at Hammerstein, right, we had just talked about
Speaker 1: hammer Signed during our watch long but you know, I
Speaker 1: just thought this was kind of funny. So the first
Speaker 1: night she wore the four sixty nine, our buddy Mike
Speaker 1: Durband was at the show in Chicago that they were
Speaker 1: performing at, and Mike bought Matt Cardona's tights from that
Speaker 1: night and was on his major Wrestling Figure blog. And
Speaker 1: I just see this tweet as you're talking that popped up.
Speaker 1: Matt Cardona has concept art for the tights that he
Speaker 1: sold to Mike Durband who bought them, and he's wearing
Speaker 1: the four sixty nine shirt, and it's just it's kind
Speaker 1: of funny how the two worlds wrap around each other.
Speaker 1: But yeah, she did wear it again. Went to you again.
Speaker 1: Of course she paid tribute. Fight TV were the first
Speaker 1: people to say that Chelsea is a modern day Francine.
Speaker 1: So I retweeted that because I was mentioned obviously, but
Speaker 1: you know, I guess she is, because you know this
Speaker 1: is going back over twenty years or so. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's flattering. You know, it's flattering. And I think I
Speaker 1: said it before. I think Chelsea is a great talent.
Speaker 1: She has a very bright future head of her. I
Speaker 1: think she's only like thirty two or thirty three years
Speaker 1: old something like that, so she's got a lot of
Speaker 1: years left to do this. And you know, I wish
Speaker 1: her the best. But I will say until I die,
Speaker 1: I am the OG. So don't mess with me. Oh
Speaker 1: double g that's right. Yeah, we're going to touch you.
Speaker 1: That's right, mess with me. But now she's doing great
Speaker 1: and I'm very happy for her and Matt so good stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very fine. I just thought Mike Derban bought the tights,
Speaker 1: and there Mike Derby, and why don't you buy my
Speaker 1: free if he buys a Chelsea for sixty nine? Im Mike,
Speaker 1: I am going to say it right now, I will
Speaker 1: consider you a trader. Ooh, you can only wear my shirt,
Speaker 1: which is sold on pwt's by the way. Interesting now,
Speaker 1: he bought the tights because they were Chicago inspired, that's why.
Speaker 1: And Mike's from Chicago. Yeah, so they're one time only
Speaker 1: whare of Cardona, who is like reinventing himself in such
Speaker 1: a major way right now? Well, Mike, I think I
Speaker 1: came up with the Francine four sixty nine concept when
Speaker 1: we were in Chicago. So that means you to buy
Speaker 1: that's true, true, story true. It might be true, it
Speaker 1: might be false. I don't know. I don't remember, but
Speaker 1: we'll go with it. Oh my gosh, Well what else?
Speaker 1: So the braces seven months, the four sixty nine, you're
Speaker 1: getting ready to go on your big extravaganza trip very.
Speaker 1: I started packing for myself, my two children, and my
Speaker 1: mom because my mom is gonna, you know, be at
Speaker 1: my sister's and so I'm packing for four people. Thank god,
Speaker 1: Hubs packs for himself. But I filled three suitcases already
Speaker 1: and I'm still not done. Damn, I'm not done. And
Speaker 1: my husband goes, oh, just pack for a week because
Speaker 1: we do have a walk sure and dryer in the room,
Speaker 1: and I I go, do you even know me? A week?
Speaker 1: There's no way unpacking for a week. I have a
Speaker 1: different outfit for every single day that we're there. So
Speaker 1: I have no room left. I don't know what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do, and I'm praying that the suitcase isn't over
Speaker 1: fifty pounds. So I said. What I did was I
Speaker 1: weighed myself and then I stood on the scale holding
Speaker 1: the suitcase to see what the difference was. The kids
Speaker 1: came in at under forty. I think, so that's pretty good,
Speaker 1: but I'm still not done packing a laundry lot to
Speaker 1: do me? Is it a ROI cart? Uh huh? Okay good.
Speaker 1: You need to be all Disney too. I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: expected it any other way. Now, are you going to
Speaker 1: like U? Do you make any combinations for shirts purchase
Speaker 1: while in Disney? No, because we don't purchase stuff in Disney. Oh,
Speaker 1: you don't purchase any ok completely overpriced? If anything? If
Speaker 1: we do well, we usually don't. But if do you
Speaker 1: see some thing, we'll look it up while we're there.
Speaker 1: We'll see if there's like a better price for it,
Speaker 1: and then we'll usually order it when we come home.
Speaker 1: The only thing we usually buy there is ornaments from
Speaker 1: the Christian Yes, that is what we did last year too. Well.
Speaker 1: I bought a shirt, but we bought the ornament as well. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I would really have to love the shirt to buy
Speaker 1: it at the park, because they will rob you. Yes
Speaker 1: they will. It was twenty It was thirty two for
Speaker 1: a yellow retro style Walt Disney World. Yeah, sure, you
Speaker 1: get it for twenty two dollars one, you know Amazon
Speaker 1: or something. I did buy ears from Amazon for ten dollars,
Speaker 1: which a lady makes them. They would be thirty dollars
Speaker 1: in the park. I bought mine for ten. They're beautiful.
Speaker 1: They're absolutely beautiful. And I bought my daughter scrunchies with
Speaker 1: ears on them because she doesn't like headbands and she
Speaker 1: wears a ponytail, so I can put the scrunchy with
Speaker 1: the ears. They're adorable. Ten bucks for two. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong. Can't beat that. No, no, Yesterday
Speaker 1: I ordered off of the Amazon three T shirts for
Speaker 1: my son All Star Wars Tame nine for three for
Speaker 1: three Trey Well t shirts are you know, out of season.
Speaker 1: So that's a good deal. You know, check it back
Speaker 1: in the summertime. You'll be getting one for twenty two
Speaker 1: ninety nine. Well that's why I bought them for for
Speaker 1: now for three, I know what I'm doing this. My
Speaker 1: first read it The Thrifty Disney Spender, starring the Queen
Speaker 1: of Extreme You know, I'm there for fifteen days. It's
Speaker 1: not like it's a ten dollars trip here. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of money, so you know, you cut corners when
Speaker 1: you can. I've been watching every food vlog available. I've
Speaker 1: been looking at every menu. I know exactly what I'm
Speaker 1: going to order it every place that we go to.
Speaker 1: I am so I don't know if I'm going to
Speaker 1: be able to eat it because of my teeth, but
Speaker 1: I'm going to try, so I'm ready. You know. I
Speaker 1: think I got a text from my uncle and he heard,
Speaker 1: you know you say that your trip was coming up.
Speaker 1: I think my aunt might be down in Disney World
Speaker 1: when you're there. Yeah. No, I think that I'll have
Speaker 1: to see if this was the weekend or not, because
Speaker 1: I can't remember when he texted me that, but I
Speaker 1: think you might be down there at the same time
Speaker 1: as my aunt. Well guess what Saturday's weather forty eight degrees.
Speaker 1: I'm super old about that. Noo. Yeah, and I'm pissed
Speaker 1: because it's not a park day, so I was hoping
Speaker 1: we could go to the pool, but not in forty
Speaker 1: eight degrees. So we're gonna think of something to do.
Speaker 1: We'll probably go to Disney Springs or something. But I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, this weather sucks like it and
Speaker 1: then as the week progresses, it goes up to eighty eventually,
Speaker 1: but it's like forty eight. Come on, I mean, we're
Speaker 1: gonna miss snow here, which is a blizzard, I think,
Speaker 1: but forty eight's cold, it's chili. Oh that's not good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm thinking. Now we are potentially we
Speaker 1: usually go around spring break. Yeah, and it looks like
Speaker 1: we're going to be going in wait for it, wait
Speaker 1: for it, June. Oh god, yeah, oh god, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be sweating your balls off. It just works out. So,
Speaker 1: you know, with a lot of stuff that I've had
Speaker 1: going on, I'm not sure which the free weekends are
Speaker 1: gonna be. So spring break is looking a little tight
Speaker 1: and a little dicey and other X factors that could
Speaker 1: be contributing to that. So we're looking at, okay, when
Speaker 1: would it be. So I was like, all right, maybe
Speaker 1: a Memorial Day weekend. And then I was like wait,
Speaker 1: and we're going back forth with my aunt about it,
Speaker 1: and we're like, all right, after the kids get out
Speaker 1: of school and Liz gets out of school, that would
Speaker 1: be the first free time. The end of June. I'm
Speaker 1: sweating already. I'm telling you, we've done the summer never again.
Speaker 1: It is so freaking hot. The humidity is just so
Speaker 1: bad down there. You are going to come home and
Speaker 1: you are going to bitch the whole time you're there,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna bitch the whole hour that we
Speaker 1: talk when you come back. I guarantee it, because that's
Speaker 1: how hot it is. It's hot. It's really hot. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't tend to really complain much, so I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking. Oh, oh, not you, no, but no, seriously,
Speaker 1: that's the summertime in Florida is just if you're not
Speaker 1: a local, it's it's it's hot. And I was very uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: and my kids were a lot younger, and we were
Speaker 1: constantly giving them water because there it's a sin. They're
Speaker 1: just melting. They're just sitting there melting, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I felt so bad dragging them through parks and oh,
Speaker 1: good luck, poor kids. Yeah, your poor children. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm doing this now, but I
Speaker 1: want to go definitely in this, like you know, in
Speaker 1: the anniversary year and right, no, I get that I
Speaker 1: want to check it out. And also so funny enough,
Speaker 1: my little one, my Bart Simpson in training, has sat
Speaker 1: down with me while watching The Simpsons. I think I
Speaker 1: mentioned this, yes, and she now wants to go to
Speaker 1: Universal to Springfield to see the Simpsons, so that might
Speaker 1: be on the trip. Itenerary. Oh yeah, we discussed doing
Speaker 1: a day at Uni Russal, but the more we looked
Speaker 1: into it, I mean, if you just want to focus
Speaker 1: on like one section, but I know we would want
Speaker 1: to like go all over the place and a day
Speaker 1: is not enough, right, So I said to my husband, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do a second trip. We're just
Speaker 1: gonna have to do a Universal trip. Eventually he looked
Speaker 1: at me like I was insane, because you know we're
Speaker 1: already going for fifteen days. But we played the Mega
Speaker 1: Millions last night and unfortunately we lost, so we won't
Speaker 1: go in the Universal this year, but maybe next year.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm so sorry to hear that you
Speaker 1: lost the Mega million two me too, because you would
Speaker 1: have got something. Oh whoa damn it, you're my friend.
Speaker 1: You would have got a little something. I would that
Speaker 1: would have been great. I'm sure you would have loved it,
Speaker 1: but alas it didn't happen, so so sorry about that.
Speaker 1: But eventually, you know, one of these days I'll win
Speaker 1: and I'll be taking vacations left and right. Yes, you will.
Speaker 1: Your whole life will be a vacation. Oh yes, so,
Speaker 1: Jerry said, Cramer's whole life is a vacation. True. I
Speaker 1: just want to move there. I'm just you know, book me,
Speaker 1: people listening, book me, so I could move to Florida
Speaker 1: and get my down payment going. When do you? When

Speaker 1: let me show you one of my favorite pictures I
Speaker 1: see every day. Very nice. I don't even I don't know.
Speaker 1: It popped up on my social media one day and
Speaker 1: I made a copy of it and made it enlarge
Speaker 1: and singing in my office, thank you so much. It's
Speaker 1: me Fonzie on his wall. How cute is that? I
Speaker 1: think it's somebody gimmicked the picture because you were standing.
Speaker 1: Maybe they put us do you remember doing any graffiti, Yes,
Speaker 1: I do. It was it was for you, weren't there,
Speaker 1: so of course they photoshopped you in. But that was
Speaker 1: for an ECW calendar that never got produced. Okay, I
Speaker 1: remember now, yeah, and that picture, that picture of me
Speaker 1: is everywhere. But I guarantee Fonzie was not at that
Speaker 1: shoot day. He didn't paint Fonzie on the wall. No
Speaker 1: Fonzi thing was not on the wall. But that's awesome
Speaker 1: that somebody did that. I know that. I love it.
Speaker 1: So I like it so much. I've put in my
Speaker 1: office what's in fund We're going to go backwards, but
Speaker 1: I want to just discuss them. Okay, basally happened with you.
Speaker 1: So GCW had a huge pay per view this past
Speaker 1: weekend had Hammerstein and you and the Lovely Saboo showed up.
Speaker 1: So can you tell us how that came about? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I worked for this company, you know, I think last
Speaker 1: year I worked forty weekends, which was cool in these
Speaker 1: you know they call them in these shows and convention
Speaker 1: and so on and so on in an appearance, and
Speaker 1: so I got lucky. You did about forty shows. Wow,
Speaker 1: at this company in the Ohio. I managed a guy
Speaker 1: named Matthew Justice. He's badass, he's hardcore, and so I
Speaker 1: go up there once a month to the last couple
Speaker 1: of years and work with him. And he's been working
Speaker 1: with GCW. They said, hey, Fonsi, they brought up your
Speaker 1: name in GCW, so they wanted me to work a
Speaker 1: couple of shows for him, but I was already booked.
Speaker 1: So when they came up with Hammer Sign, I said, Dan,
Speaker 1: that'd be the perfect place because we ran there yep,
Speaker 1: so for me to make my debut and he's in GCW.
Speaker 1: That could have picked a better building and got a
Speaker 1: good reception. So they just called me and asked me
Speaker 1: to come in and sam bou and do the lights off,
Speaker 1: lights on. It worked out and you know it was
Speaker 1: really cool. Oh I love it. Yeah. When I popped
Speaker 1: huge because I have the pay per view, but I
Speaker 1: didn't watch it yet, and then I heard that you
Speaker 1: guys were on it, I was like, damn, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: I love that. So I'm going to check that out
Speaker 1: probably this weekend. Very great on the plane if I
Speaker 1: need something to watch, so maybe I'll download it to
Speaker 1: my iPad and watch. It was a good show. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of guys you won't know, and there's a
Speaker 1: few guys that you will know. Right when I do
Speaker 1: these indie shows, I meet all kind of young new
Speaker 1: superstars and they're all bad asses, but I don't know
Speaker 1: them and they all know us. But you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: do you ever come across We were talking about this before,
Speaker 1: like sometimes shame and I will walk into a room
Speaker 1: at a show and like people will look up and
Speaker 1: then they'll look back down. They won't even say hello,
Speaker 1: Like does that bother you? If that like, does that
Speaker 1: ever happen to you? Because like we had just brush
Speaker 1: it off as Okay, they're young, maybe they weren't into ECW.
Speaker 1: They don't know who we are. Like I still walk
Speaker 1: around and shake people's hands because that was the way
Speaker 1: we were brought up, you know. When I came up
Speaker 1: in the business, I was taught shake everybody's hand, you know,
Speaker 1: and that's what I still do. And I introduced myself
Speaker 1: and some of these kids don't even look at you,
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, it happens to me once in
Speaker 1: a while when I do one of the bigger conventions
Speaker 1: and one of the bigger names is there. Like recently,
Speaker 1: we did a show at the ECW Arena convention with Feinstein.
Speaker 1: They had big me a bunch of people there, and
Speaker 1: I think they brought in pain and Kane had a
Speaker 1: fucking line to go to his booth and it was
Speaker 1: all people who don't know us. It didn't bother me,
Speaker 1: but I said, damn, I wish I was as you
Speaker 1: know over as he was, but he had more TV
Speaker 1: time and all that I'm talking, I'm talking about the boys.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about fan. Like when we walk into
Speaker 1: a locker room and it's an indie fed and we've
Speaker 1: never worked there before, right, and she like, you know,
Speaker 1: Shane and I will walk into the room and the
Speaker 1: boys will be putting on their boots or you know,
Speaker 1: their trunks were, and they'll look at us and some
Speaker 1: will run over and say hello, and others will just
Speaker 1: look and put their heads down, not even give us
Speaker 1: like the time of day. And I'm like, it's such
Speaker 1: a different like the way they come up these days.
Speaker 1: I guess it's different than when I was younger, because
Speaker 1: I was taught you need to go around and say
Speaker 1: hello to every single person. I don't think that anymore, though,
Speaker 1: like you get it, would you get offended? Because I
Speaker 1: kind of just brush it off, like, oh, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd brush it off because, uh, I don't work with
Speaker 1: these as all the time, and some don't know us.
Speaker 1: And they're all young, all the guys on the carter
Speaker 1: from you know, eighteen to twenty five years old. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they weren't even born in the nineties, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So yeah, okay, some old timers will get mad,
Speaker 1: and then others just are like, who cares? You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't get out of mad me neither. Well that's good.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you got your foot in the door
Speaker 1: with them, and hopefully they you know, they use you more. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I talked to I guess he's the owner, Brett. He
Speaker 1: was pretty cool, and he says, SFONZI, when it is feasible,
Speaker 1: we'd love to bring you in. Of course, we're in
Speaker 1: California and we're drawn three hundred people, we yet fly in.
Speaker 1: But if we're doing big shows like we did at
Speaker 1: the Hammer Sign, they almost had three thousand people there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was the pay per view, so it made sense.
Speaker 1: You said anything bigger would love to have you, and
Speaker 1: we like what you did. Thank you so much, and
Speaker 1: I love it. Got a warm reception, so it was
Speaker 1: pretty good. So I think I will be getting some
Speaker 1: work with them eventually, right right, Well, that's good. So
Speaker 1: you said you had forty days last year during the pandemic, right,
Speaker 1: But we were off at the first part of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Everything was shut down, and then it started lighting up
Speaker 1: a little bit and the show started happening. So I
Speaker 1: wear a mask everywhere I go. I've got both doses,
Speaker 1: and I got my booster and all that, so I
Speaker 1: feel comfortable. But I still wear my mask in the
Speaker 1: dressing room and stuff and try to be vigilant, especially
Speaker 1: in New York City the other day. Right, So, but
Speaker 1: their show is running, the show running. So I did
Speaker 1: work a lot last year smaller companies. There's a company
Speaker 1: in Florida called CCW Coastal Champshire Wrestling. Gangarell is one
Speaker 1: of the teachers at their facility, and I worked with
Speaker 1: him a lot, okay, twice a month at least. And
Speaker 1: I worked for that ai W John Thorne Cleveland once
Speaker 1: or twice a month too. So between that and some
Speaker 1: upper just here and there, like at a toy store,
Speaker 1: being saboul or whatever. So I got lucky last year
Speaker 1: and kept pretty busy. Yeah, that's a that's a forty
Speaker 1: is a lot, uh for the Yeah, I'll say at
Speaker 1: least forty shows last year. Oh well that's awesome. Bad
Speaker 1: podcast too, And I've been doing when when the pandemic kid,
Speaker 1: I went online and said, hey, I'm available for podcasts
Speaker 1: since nobody's doing any shows. And I got a I
Speaker 1: like seventy responses and I end up doing about twenty
Speaker 1: podcasts in charge of a small talent feed. Sure you know,
Speaker 1: and they love it and we tell stories and so
Speaker 1: I did quite a few of those last year too.
Speaker 1: Now lucky, I mean the year before last year, Right,
Speaker 1: I did several I do you know, once a month
Speaker 1: or sometimes you're lucky somebody calls me. But I always
Speaker 1: ask my friends who come on here, And it doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be E c W based. Funniest story that
Speaker 1: you have in the vault that you can that you
Speaker 1: can share, because I know there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that we can't talk about in the air. Yeah about anything,
Speaker 1: but well, so many funny stories. It's hard to come
Speaker 1: up with one just pick one. Well, there's stories. I
Speaker 1: don't know if there's there are funny stories like me
Speaker 1: running over an alligator putting it in the trunk, and
Speaker 1: I had mood h Angelo Mosca all people who've never
Speaker 1: seen alligators, Roddy Piper. You know, they were amazed at
Speaker 1: the alligator. We thought he was dead, but I threw
Speaker 1: him in the trunk. He was. The alligator was so big,
Speaker 1: and I readed a caddy because I had the guys
Speaker 1: with me. The alligator was so big he would fit
Speaker 1: in the trunk. I had to fold him up like
Speaker 1: a doughnut the fit them in the truck. But all
Speaker 1: I did was knock him out. When I hit I
Speaker 1: ran over and with the car ran over his head.
Speaker 1: So he was in a coma, selling in the drug
Speaker 1: Tell it Yeah. So he came alive. We had still
Speaker 1: two hours ago home and he started flipping around in
Speaker 1: the trunk and they thought it was great. They thought
Speaker 1: he was gonna come through the backseat and you know
Speaker 1: and get the Canadian and Japanese kid. Uh, those stories
Speaker 1: like that. You know, he's so crazy. I saw we
Speaker 1: even talked about this. It might have been last year.
Speaker 1: I saw a video of you online and I meant
Speaker 1: to ask you about it. I totally forgot to ask you.
Speaker 1: It was you. It was you at an indie show
Speaker 1: in the parking lot, and I guess it was the
Speaker 1: owner of the company if we watched it. Oh, we
Speaker 1: watched it kind of shoot with the guy you were
Speaker 1: saying you owe me like either it was one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety nine or two hundred and ninety nine dollars.
Speaker 1: So this guy, this promoter guy, and this was this
Speaker 1: was around easy W time too. This that was a
Speaker 1: long time ago. It was Oh I just saw it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It's an old video. So I was working
Speaker 1: full time with you guys E c W and I
Speaker 1: had so this guy called me and wanted me to
Speaker 1: do a show with him, an indie show. He called
Speaker 1: me about twenty five times. Finally I agreed to do
Speaker 1: a show with him, and he gave me a check
Speaker 1: at the end of the show, and of course the
Speaker 1: check was no good. And I tried calling him for
Speaker 1: a month and he wouldn't return my call. Was trying
Speaker 1: to get the you know, the check cleared or whatever,
Speaker 1: and so he was avoiding me. Finally I ran into
Speaker 1: him at in the parking lot and I had some
Speaker 1: words with him. It was pretty cool. I was mad.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I was. I kept saying to myself,
Speaker 1: is this some work or shoot? Like? Cause I that
Speaker 1: was a shoot and that's not me. I'm pretty fucking cool.
Speaker 1: I never get mad. I don't give a fuck what happens.
Speaker 1: But you dove through the window as the guy was
Speaker 1: driving the car. Yeah, you're bad. You're not gonna leave, motherfucker.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna leave me, motherfucker. And you dove as
Speaker 1: he's driving. You went through the window. I was trying
Speaker 1: to turn this far off the move. It was crazy.
Speaker 1: And you know the reason I was mad because he
Speaker 1: called me every week for two months to try to
Speaker 1: give me to do this show. And then when I
Speaker 1: tried to call him about the tech being mad, he
Speaker 1: never returned my call. And so that's what made me mad.
Speaker 1: When I see we had the video right now, because
Speaker 1: I would pull it up, I could pull up. Can
Speaker 1: we watch it real quick? George? Have you seen this recently?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a reason it fi I swear to god.
Speaker 1: I I picked this apart on the show and I
Speaker 1: was just like, is this a work or shoot? Is
Speaker 1: this an angle? I don't I thought it just happened
Speaker 1: like a month ago. When I saw this. It's hilarious
Speaker 1: and you were just you're big leaguing him and you're
Speaker 1: pushing him and then you dove through the window. And
Speaker 1: I can't believe I did that because the guy was
Speaker 1: big and I'm small. Yeah, but you were piped up,
Speaker 1: you were ready to fright. He probably would have beat
Speaker 1: my ass, but he knew he wasn't wrong for giving
Speaker 1: me a bad check. And all that was in the
Speaker 1: circle of people. Yeah, that was a I didn't know anybody.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was so great. And that was
Speaker 1: like at a pub pool haul thing would have tournaments
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. And I went down to see a buddy
Speaker 1: of mine play and there the guy pulls up and
Speaker 1: I said, oh, hey, daddy, I got a bad check.
Speaker 1: Can you cat? Can you make me take good? And
Speaker 1: he was backing off, and hey, daddy, but you I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was one hundred and one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety nine dollars or two hundred and nine. Here
Speaker 1: it is, Oh my god, can we just watch this
Speaker 1: real quick? Yes, it's hilarious. We got to watch it here.
Speaker 1: I seen you in a whole different light. There you are?
Speaker 1: You are? Is there volume? There's no volume with it now.
Speaker 1: We can't even hear what he's saying. I mean, you
Speaker 1: hear what he's saying, but you can watch him see
Speaker 1: the action that he's about to do. Phonsie, I never
Speaker 1: laughed so hard man. And we stumbled on it too,
Speaker 1: didn't we. We were we were watching. It was on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I saw it on Twitter and I pointed it out
Speaker 1: to you and I said, this just happened. I said,
Speaker 1: somebody screwing with Phonsie. And I don't like it. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know now that you say, I think that was
Speaker 1: a show that I was at, not the not the
Speaker 1: pool tournament thing, because look, because behind it looks like
Speaker 1: it's like a shopping center, So a pool thing we
Speaker 1: might make perfect sense. Okay, well, why do I got
Speaker 1: my jacket on? I don't know. I don't know either.
Speaker 1: And there's there's a bunch of but there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of people like guys that look like they they're kind
Speaker 1: of workers, like indie workers. All right, is this the
Speaker 1: promoter right here? This guy in the Chrysler shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's bigger than me, right, yeah, but still he's not
Speaker 1: one of them. Yeah, you got his number, you're hitting him?
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And he didn't answer my calls for
Speaker 1: like a month. I call him every day. I said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know you're telling you Look, you're telling everybody back up,
Speaker 1: back up. And now it's just you and him, and
Speaker 1: you're like ripping his shirt off. Look at this. I
Speaker 1: love this. I thought this was an angle for some
Speaker 1: like the show that was coming up, that you were
Speaker 1: gonna work with this guy. I literally thought this was
Speaker 1: a work. I wish I could work like that. No,
Speaker 1: that's the shoes. The best part is when you jump
Speaker 1: in the car. Didn't didn't he jump in the car. Ye,
Speaker 1: he's trying to drive off. He's trying to get away
Speaker 1: from me, and I said, you're not leaving until you
Speaker 1: pay me, until you cleared his check. And what is
Speaker 1: he's saying to you? What's his excuse, I'll get back
Speaker 1: with you. I don't have the money right now. Whatever. See,
Speaker 1: like there's so many people standing around. It led me
Speaker 1: to believe there was some kind of indie show going on.
Speaker 1: Look there you are, you're in the car. Look we're
Speaker 1: in the car, and there he goes he's trying to drive.
Speaker 1: You're God, it's about time one of these guys gets there.
Speaker 1: Come up, and so all the ship promoters out there
Speaker 1: that say. No, that's an ugue because all the shows,
Speaker 1: the forty shows I did last year, thirty eight, thirty ninety,
Speaker 1: they always take care of you have never been stiff, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. So it was a whole point. That's why
Speaker 1: I was, man, Oh my god, we don't have to
Speaker 1: watch the whole thing, but I just I love when
Speaker 1: you jove in the car and he just pulls off
Speaker 1: and you're bossing this guy's white ass sticking out what's up?
Speaker 1: Oh so you don't want to see this guy's white
Speaker 1: ass sticking out of his pants. Now he has no
Speaker 1: shirt on. I think I ripped it off. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: probably did. Oh my god, this is just so funny.
Speaker 1: I feel bad now a little bit. Did you ever
Speaker 1: get your money? No? I never seen him after that night.
Speaker 1: I never tried to call him. What is the fucking
Speaker 1: lesson learned? You know, breast on him? This guy, jeez,
Speaker 1: he's trying to explain. I mean, he's telling you what's
Speaker 1: going on, but you don't found the new Chubby Dudley
Speaker 1: right there. Oh god, I just wanted to show the
Speaker 1: part where you're in the car because that's my favorite
Speaker 1: part of the whole video. All Right, daddy. I loved it.
Speaker 1: So what do you want to talk about? Do you
Speaker 1: want to talk about how you got into business? Do
Speaker 1: you want to talk about what you're doing now? Totally
Speaker 1: up to you. I don't mind talking about. What I'm
Speaker 1: doing now is having fun. I've just turned sixty four
Speaker 1: last year in August. I'm in good shape. There's not
Speaker 1: an ounce of fat on me. Look at that. Anything
Speaker 1: I do is smoke a little popolo and then I
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. I do indie shows, yeah, convey sins
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. During the week, I'm relaxing. I'll
Speaker 1: play golf. You know, never had no time off. I've
Speaker 1: been in the business forty two years, fright, I know it,
Speaker 1: and worked for all the big companies and worked full time.

Speaker 1: tot in a really long time. I will, I will.
Speaker 1: I'll text him later and tell him he's sort of work.
Speaker 1: He's writing a book right now. I was in a
Speaker 1: process of writing a book. Oh special interesting. I was
Speaker 1: just with Sandman and Shane. We did an appearance in
Speaker 1: Nashville and yeah, yeah, it was the three of us
Speaker 1: and we did we did a we did three appearances
Speaker 1: in two days. So we worked a virtual and then
Speaker 1: we did an in store and then we did the
Speaker 1: Tracy Smothers memorial show that they had for Tracy down there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was Samman was so funny. Hack was like,
Speaker 1: you know, if it was twenty years ago, we'd be
Speaker 1: sitting around drinking, smoking, doing drugs, blah blah blah. He goes,
Speaker 1: He goes, Now we're sitting around talking about our kids
Speaker 1: in school and what we what we do over the
Speaker 1: weekend with our children, and he goes, And I love
Speaker 1: this because we sat up till maybe well at one thirty,
Speaker 1: I tapped out. I was exhausted. But Man's so funny.
Speaker 1: I love him. He's one of my besties. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was with him at a show not too long ago,
Speaker 1: you know, last year, and I was looking at him.
Speaker 1: He looked at his face looked a little different. I said, Sam, Man,
Speaker 1: are you fucking wearing makeup? He said, yeah, Daddy, I says,
Speaker 1: he put it on horrible. You know, you know how
Speaker 1: you put it on, perfect, beautiful. I can see the
Speaker 1: lines and shit I put on my face. I got
Speaker 1: bumps or whatever. Okay, cool, Oh my god, I loved it.
Speaker 1: We had. All we did was laugh because I haven't
Speaker 1: seen him in so long, and we just sat there
Speaker 1: and we laughed our asses off and there. We didn't
Speaker 1: drink there, nobody smoked, nobody did anything. We were just
Speaker 1: we ate dinner and then we just sat around and
Speaker 1: talked for hours, and it was like it was so nice.
Speaker 1: It was so nice. And you know, when I see
Speaker 1: people like you or Salmon, or somebody on the road
Speaker 1: at the convention or whatever, and we haven't seen each
Speaker 1: other for a long time, it's like we never left
Speaker 1: each other. That's what we were saying. It was like
Speaker 1: yesterday we were in the locker room together, you know exactly.
Speaker 1: I know, I know I miss everybody. I mean, I
Speaker 1: love my life now. But when like we do watch
Speaker 1: alongs on the show, we pull up old matches and
Speaker 1: like a little a little part of me. I'm just like, man,
Speaker 1: if we could just go back for one weekend and
Speaker 1: just have like a nostalgic weekend with all of us together,
Speaker 1: how fun would that be? You know, Like I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to do it consecutively because obviously I want to
Speaker 1: be with my family, my kids, right, But look, you're involved,
Speaker 1: you do the podcast, I'll see you on the internet
Speaker 1: on social media, different stuff, putting out tweets and all that.
Speaker 1: That's very cool. I like that stuff. I'm missing so
Speaker 1: much that we didn't do. I couldn't just stop. It's
Speaker 1: you know, it's like a drug. It's Nina, yeah, China
Speaker 1: and being you know, I'm still relevant to the business.
Speaker 1: Not because I was a referee and I started in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty with Eddie Graham and Andrea the Giant and
Speaker 1: Dusty and all them. I had a great career to
Speaker 1: work for Vince and WrestleMania's and WCW Ted Turner. Why
Speaker 1: I'm still relevant to the business and I get pops
Speaker 1: and they can sell a picture and all that is
Speaker 1: because of e CW, not because I'm a famous referee.
Speaker 1: You know. E CW really made my character, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you think because one of your first one of
Speaker 1: your first gigs was roughing me and Beulah. You came in,
Speaker 1: you were the referee for our match. I was anti
Speaker 1: violand yes, I just left WWF. And the gimmick was
Speaker 1: Shane Douglas brought me in because he was anti violent.
Speaker 1: My whole gimmick was Paul Haman. I get a phone
Speaker 1: call from Paul ham and I just left ww F.
Speaker 1: In fact, I was still on Monday Night Raw because
Speaker 1: they would tape three Monday night raws. One was live,
Speaker 1: Tuesday was for the next Monday, and Wednesday was for
Speaker 1: the following Monday. So we did three Monday Night rawls
Speaker 1: in a row and only one was last. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I was on for uh. Well, Paul Hayman called me.
Speaker 1: He knew I got I finished there, He said, panjak
Speaker 1: at this company called e c W. I said, what
Speaker 1: the fuck's in e c W? Because I never worked
Speaker 1: an indie show in my life, you know. He says, well,
Speaker 1: you know it was boy Hamen. We were friends for years.
Speaker 1: He said, I got this thing. We want to bring
Speaker 1: you in, this anti violin with this violent company. We'll
Speaker 1: bring in for four weeks in nine one one a
Speaker 1: choke SLAMI And you done think you were paying you fly?
Speaker 1: You all that? I said, okay, boy Haman. So when
Speaker 1: I when I came in to be the anti ECW guy,
Speaker 1: and the people wanted to kill me literally because I
Speaker 1: was taking their fucking violence away tables the taiepaid death match. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was crazy. So I ended up staying there till
Speaker 1: the company left, just twenty one pay per views with you?
Speaker 1: Was there right when you were getting hot and you
Speaker 1: became a big ECW superstar? Well did you said initially
Speaker 1: it was a four week deal? Right? Your four weeks
Speaker 1: is up and you're getting over like crazy. Does Paul
Speaker 1: just say okay, just just come back again, or does
Speaker 1: he offer you like an extended deal like what happened?
Speaker 1: He ended up after night one one choked Slammy. He said,
Speaker 1: I guess he said to himself, Damn, Fanzi got so
Speaker 1: much hed so shame to let him go. And Taz
Speaker 1: was just coming off with that neck injury and took
Speaker 1: some time off. So when Taz came back, Paul came
Speaker 1: and put me with tazt and and that work because
Speaker 1: Taz had like ten gimmicks before he became Tazz. He
Speaker 1: was like taz Mania, monkey boy or whatever. He didn't
Speaker 1: get over it until he became Taz, and then I
Speaker 1: never managed anybody. But it was a kind of a
Speaker 1: natural progression for me because I've been around the business
Speaker 1: for a while and got looked good. And I didn't
Speaker 1: know how to do a promo really, because how many
Speaker 1: promos do referees do? Once in a while, you might
Speaker 1: say and belt out up or whatever. But so I
Speaker 1: was having trouble doing promos and Tom and poim Ha
Speaker 1: said just treated like a shoot. You know you're gonna
Speaker 1: be in Philadelphia on the twenty seventh, you know, so
Speaker 1: this type of mats. So they created a monster and
Speaker 1: now on one take, Fonzie I like that. Every time
Speaker 1: we would get ready to appromo, he'd come over, all right, daddy,
Speaker 1: won take, here we go, you ready, let's go going
Speaker 1: one take and it was done and it was great,
Speaker 1: even if it wasn't correct. It was just that Bonsie character.
Speaker 1: Could you got? You were so like charismatic And I
Speaker 1: would pop every time because as much as that freaking
Speaker 1: whistle got on my nerves, I learned how to like
Speaker 1: drown it out and just look at you. Right afterwards.
Speaker 1: I didn't even hear the whistle, right, it was just you.
Speaker 1: All I would see is you jumping up and down
Speaker 1: and doing and the whistle didn't even bother me. And
Speaker 1: every time I bring your name up, everybody's like, how
Speaker 1: did you deal with that whistle? And I'm just like
Speaker 1: it kind of just you get so used to it,
Speaker 1: but it be came like your theme. It was your staple.
Speaker 1: You know. I never blew a whistle in my life
Speaker 1: until because they put me with Cat. So Paul Haymon
Speaker 1: gets me whistles, here's your new gimmick. Just blow it.
Speaker 1: So I was kind of like embarrassed to bow it.
Speaker 1: So the next week I left it at home and
Speaker 1: so Paul Jamer says, where's your whistle? I said, oh,
Speaker 1: I forgot it at home? So did they send somebody
Speaker 1: out to get me another way? BONSI, that's your gimmick?
Speaker 1: Then I got it. Then I got it. Yeah, then
Speaker 1: I got to. So now you can buy one at
Speaker 1: motel There you go, I shootel Joy's and buy one
Speaker 1: for twenty nine ninety five. That's great about kind shows.
Speaker 1: You'll sign them at shows, right, Oh yeah, yeah, are
Speaker 1: you going to be doing like the Big Event or
Speaker 1: Wrestle Khan or any of these shows that are coming
Speaker 1: up to New York. The other day worked for the
Speaker 1: GCW Sunday and he asked me the same question. Said
Speaker 1: I wasn't no, he's gonna hold of me yet. He says, well,
Speaker 1: I know all the people. Will let me have your
Speaker 1: number and I'll call these people and see what. But
Speaker 1: I have worked that show before. I think I did
Speaker 1: that show, and then Universal Wrestling Store Wrestling Universe. Yes,
Speaker 1: I did that and a podcast from Monty and Monty
Speaker 1: or somebody. Okay, like the same weekend or whatever. So
Speaker 1: we'll be in New York. What's the date, March fifth?
Speaker 1: March fifth is the Big Event, right, ye? Try to
Speaker 1: get on the Big Event because that's in New York.
Speaker 1: I would love to see you there. I will if
Speaker 1: I if I hear the whistle and then turn around
Speaker 1: and it's you, I will run over and jump on
Speaker 1: you and give you hugs and kisses. Because I'm we're
Speaker 1: going to do an event this year. I think they're
Speaker 1: doing a couplet at the ECW arena if Einstein did
Speaker 1: one not too long ago. Yeah, I can't do the arena.
Speaker 1: Why because remember when I threw had my show when
Speaker 1: I was pregnant and you were own it. They stole
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars from me. They stole from the gate. Really,
Speaker 1: they stole the money, and they stole the show itself
Speaker 1: and sold it without my permission. Act people that I
Speaker 1: can't tell. I can tell you who. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say names on the air. I can tell you
Speaker 1: who it is off off the air. But I have
Speaker 1: not been back since I was pregnant and my daughter
Speaker 1: will be thirteen, and that's the last time I was
Speaker 1: in the marina. Damn, no shit. Because I was wondering
Speaker 1: why you were because I never seen Beula on the road.
Speaker 1: I never hear heard you in social media or anything,
Speaker 1: but I see you on the social media. But I
Speaker 1: was wondering why you weren't at that building at the ECWRITA.
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. So yeah, I won't. I won't
Speaker 1: go there until that period doesn't work there anymore. So
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully if I don't wish death on them,
Speaker 1: but maybe they'll move to another country or something and
Speaker 1: I can come back. I've been asked no, Lie by
Speaker 1: ten different vendors and by Rob himself, like to come in,
Speaker 1: but I just don't feel comfortable while that person's there, right,
Speaker 1: you know, i'd probably seen him the other day. Oh,
Speaker 1: you definitely seeing him. He definitely have seen them. He
Speaker 1: runs a building. Yeah, I know there's somebody that's involved,
Speaker 1: and you know, you know it's funny, so that that's
Speaker 1: show in September School, I was with Caine that day.
Speaker 1: So I was behind the table looking at the mannas
Speaker 1: and I said to Rob, I said, you realize the
Speaker 1: line is going right in front of the table that
Speaker 1: you were at and saman was at. And He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the only place we can put him. But I
Speaker 1: was like that such horrible placement because the line literally
Speaker 1: was right in front of where you guys were standing
Speaker 1: and I was in. I was a little annoyed about
Speaker 1: it right well, which was okay because he was there
Speaker 1: for just an hour or two and we were there
Speaker 1: all day, so it worked out we were the main
Speaker 1: We were the main event until he got there, and
Speaker 1: then when he got there, but the people that came
Speaker 1: to see him came to see him didn't come to
Speaker 1: see Bonzi and Sandman. They came to see him. It's
Speaker 1: it's like the it's the w w F crowd exactly
Speaker 1: where it was. But all the E CW people who
Speaker 1: came to the arena for the nostalgia and see all
Speaker 1: the old guys like Means and uh bandamn and all that.
Speaker 1: We had no problem. We end up making good money
Speaker 1: for everybody, everybody in the day. But it was why
Speaker 1: Benson Kane is because he had that long fucking line
Speaker 1: for two hours. It was like you couldn't even see
Speaker 1: it kept just going on and on and on, and
Speaker 1: but then Rob was right next to him too, so
Speaker 1: then Rob's was like in it was just a sea
Speaker 1: of people. Yeah, I was right next to Robin Katie
Speaker 1: right right. Well, where where is your next appearance? Like
Speaker 1: the very next one? My next appearance was Sandman January
Speaker 1: February fifth and six or sixth and seventh? Is that Friday?
Speaker 1: The first Friday and Saturday in Miami in Orlando? Yeah,

Speaker 1: I hope so, I hope. So try to get on
Speaker 1: if you can the big event or wrestle Khan in Dallas,
Speaker 1: WrestleMania weekend, that's a huge convention. Try to get on
Speaker 1: that one did last year WrestleMania conventions. They had a
Speaker 1: couple because it was in Tampa, so it was easy
Speaker 1: for the promoters. They have me there, no transit hotel, right,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, let's see. Yeah, we got to get together.
Speaker 1: I keep telling everybody, like you know, a fran scene
Speaker 1: or a Fonsie is a drawl, but all of us
Speaker 1: together is like the main event, and that's what people
Speaker 1: want to see. They want to see a group of
Speaker 1: us together. So right, so when they add me onto
Speaker 1: a show, I'm a good ad on. The people will
Speaker 1: love to see me. But I don't have that big
Speaker 1: drawn power. But if all of us got together one day,
Speaker 1: sand Man, everybody, uh Sabu would be very cool. I
Speaker 1: think so too. Well, I'm going to try to figure
Speaker 1: stuff out and work on stuff, and I will definitely
Speaker 1: keep in touch with you and hopefully we run into
Speaker 1: each other because it's been a long time since I've
Speaker 1: seen you in person. Yes, I don't even remember when
Speaker 1: the last time we saw each other was. I can't
Speaker 1: remember either, but I see you every day when I
