Speaker 2: Coming off my big weekend, I think wurry WRASTLECN. It
Speaker 2: was fun. I got to see a bunch of people
Speaker 2: I haven't seen in years, which was Yeah. I drove
Speaker 2: down with John Finnigan and Jim Malino. I was part
Speaker 2: of the referee crew. It was fun and uh I
Speaker 2: saw I saw so many people. It was just, uh,
Speaker 2: it was a good time, you know, blast from the
Speaker 2: past if you will.
Speaker 3: Is Finnigan the one who's leaving the business, Yes, yes, they.
Speaker 2: Gave him a very nice, uh farewell send off. But
Speaker 2: I told him in the car, I was like, look,
Speaker 2: you can not be an entering performer, but you can
Speaker 2: do the convention circuit. Yeah, because that's what we do
Speaker 2: and it's fun. And I told him I'd keep my
Speaker 2: eyes open for him, you know, try to throw a
Speaker 2: couple of bookings his way if I'm able to. But
Speaker 2: it was not seen everyone. I got to sit with
Speaker 2: Shane and Sandman and Todd my crew. You know, it's
Speaker 2: a good time.
Speaker 4: Nice.
Speaker 5: Yes, you were mentioned as being one of the one
Speaker 5: of the more friendly meet and greet people by Stevie
Speaker 5: Richards and James on their Good and Bad Meet and Greet. Yes, yes,
Speaker 5: it's Shane as the guy you can't get away from.
Speaker 5: But they mentioned how the duo of you together is
Speaker 5: perfect because you guys still keep it like as you were,
Speaker 5: So you guys are very friendly to the.
Speaker 3: Fans and you keep the act intact.
Speaker 2: Oh, isn't that nice. I didn't even realize they were
Speaker 2: doing a podcast about that. That's interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did a whole meet and greet like style podcast.
Speaker 5: From what I saw, I saw this one video go
Speaker 5: by my feet earlier today and I saw Shane on there,
Speaker 5: so I'm like, oh, I got to hear this. They said,
Speaker 5: the two of you together as the act as Shane
Speaker 5: and Francine at the meet and greet are perfect because
Speaker 5: you're so friendly to.
Speaker 3: The fans and you give them their time and give
Speaker 3: them what they want.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Stevie Richards and James, thank you so
Speaker 2: much for that. Yeah. We you know, like we said before,
Speaker 2: we try to give them an experience that they'll remember
Speaker 2: and that's worth you know, the money that they're paying,
Speaker 2: or even if they're not paying money, and they just
Speaker 2: want to come and say hi and shake hands, and
Speaker 2: you know, we just try to give them us something
Speaker 2: to be happy about for the day.
Speaker 5: Not like you know, this is like there's the there's
Speaker 5: horror stories going around about certain WWE meet and greets
Speaker 5: during WrestleMania weekend? Is there really some are saying that
Speaker 5: CM Punk wasn't great? And you know, I've heard conflicting reports.
Speaker 3: I've heard good, I've heard bad. You know, you hear
Speaker 3: a lot of good stuff about the same people. You
Speaker 3: hear good things and you hear bad things. But it
Speaker 3: is what you make of it. You're there for one reason.
Speaker 3: You're there to meet the superstar.
Speaker 5: If you pay a certain amount of money, you're gonna
Speaker 5: get a certain kind of experience.
Speaker 4: So you know it's.
Speaker 5: You know, you pay them five hundred bucks to meet
Speaker 5: Punk or whatever it is, they're gonna rush you. I
Speaker 5: hate to break it to you, You're just there on
Speaker 5: a couch and shoot the breeze about money in the bank.
Speaker 3: Twenty eleven. So you know they're gonna rush you.
Speaker 2: In out when I mentioned the parking lot in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 5: Seven, Yeah, you're gonna they're gonna go They're gonna call
Speaker 5: you up, They're gonna.
Speaker 3: Go, h hey, you know, let's uh, this is uh,
Speaker 3: you know seeing Punk. Yeah, this is you Hey, sign
Speaker 3: my thing. Times time, it's times up, times up.
Speaker 2: It's not the talent's fault. And that case, it's the
Speaker 2: handlers that are trying to push the lines through. And
Speaker 2: I'm sure you know because I know Punk, he's a
Speaker 2: friendly guy, but I do know that they tend to
Speaker 2: you know, you're not supposed to touch the people. You're not.
Speaker 2: You can't hug them, you can't this, you can't that.
Speaker 2: And it's like, oh, give them an experience for God's sayings.
Speaker 2: They're spending a ton of money, so I get it
Speaker 2: from both sides. But it's not always like the talent's
Speaker 2: fault because the handlers are just they're pushing them like cattle.
Speaker 2: All right, get out of here, you know, So you're
Speaker 2: lucky if you get thirty seconds.
Speaker 3: Sometimes, mister Punk, I was so happy when you came back.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry with with Shane and I thirty eight minutes later,
Speaker 2: we're still sitting there. Shane's only on chapter two of
Speaker 2: chapter twe so that's how it goes bye, But no,
Speaker 2: it's it's it is nice to hear that, because again,
Speaker 2: we try to just make everybody happy. So it made
Speaker 2: me smile. But it was nice. Again, it was nice
Speaker 2: to see everybody. And thanks to all the fans who
Speaker 2: came out. Uh. And and I'll plug where I'm at
Speaker 2: this weekend at the end of the show, because we're
Speaker 2: doing it all over again. So no rest for the weary.
Speaker 2: That would be me. I'm the weary.
Speaker 3: Ain't no rest for the wicked.
Speaker 2: I'm not wicked. I'm sweet. But lots of stuff going on,
Speaker 2: uh in wrestling, Yeah, right in the world.
Speaker 3: Was a lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh and by the way, right now, I'm currently
Speaker 2: watching Oh god, what's the name of it. It's the
Speaker 2: Logan and Jake Paul's show called The Paul Show something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well guess what it's.
Speaker 3: I like it. I do like it.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a like a documentary. It's like eight
Speaker 2: parts or something. And they are rich.
Speaker 3: Let me just I was going to say the name
Speaker 3: of the we make a shitload of money and we
Speaker 3: ain't changing it.
Speaker 2: They are freaking He bought a hockey puck. I think
Speaker 2: it was Wayne Gretzky's. I'm thinking about five thousand dollars
Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, stick, it was a hockey stick from the
Speaker 3: last game.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I zoned out when I heard the price.
Speaker 2: I was like, well, excuse me. Then they were doing
Speaker 2: doing their wedding and they thought it was going to
Speaker 2: be It was in Italy, and at first it was
Speaker 2: a million dollars, so he was like, I can do
Speaker 2: a million dollars. And then he's like, oh, they sent
Speaker 2: the real thing. It was three point three six million
Speaker 2: dollars for the wedding. He's like, I have a problem
Speaker 2: with that. I was like, oh my god, could you
Speaker 2: even imagine.
Speaker 3: Just for your wedding, I'd say, is that the bill
Speaker 3: or my phone number?
Speaker 2: Holy moly. I was like. I looked at my husband.
Speaker 2: I was like, they're so rich, Like wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: But anyway, releases releases very sad. This is a very
Speaker 2: sad moment.
Speaker 3: Blow it up for me, please, all right, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: blow it up here. Here's a list of talent. This
Speaker 3: is on May third, when.
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep it as real as I can
Speaker 2: keep it. I don't know a lot of these names
Speaker 2: on here. You want to read the list, because.
Speaker 5: Sure we've got Katana Chance, uh, Kayden Carter, Dakota Kai.
Speaker 2: You know, I know Dakota Kai, Braunzetrowman, Shane Brazier, Brazler,
Speaker 2: Kerjid Okay, the rest of them, I don't.
Speaker 5: Know Eddie Thrope, Riley Osbourne, Jakara Jackson, gallis Oro, minash
Speaker 5: Or Mensaw.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I was.
Speaker 5: Reading it backwards, reading his Jewish name men Saw. And
Speaker 5: Javier Bernal.
Speaker 3: Okay, the Bernal family devastated by the release.
Speaker 5: I have no idea who Yeah that I have to
Speaker 5: corrige aide, no clue who all these are, and the
Speaker 5: first two no idea either.
Speaker 3: And that again is not a knock at the performers themselves.
Speaker 5: That is just at the fact that they had so
Speaker 5: many people under contract that when these releases happened, now
Speaker 5: you're like.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, you didn't know who they were.
Speaker 2: I saw a video of Braunze Truman like in front
Speaker 2: of a huge boat. I don't think it was a yacht.
Speaker 2: But it was like this big ass boat and then
Speaker 2: he's on his jet ski and I think, I don't
Speaker 2: know if it said life is good or something, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, saved his money.
Speaker 3: You know. Jakara Jackson, I don't she in n XT.
Speaker 5: Maybe Okay, see this is Eddie Thorpe, so they expelled
Speaker 5: it wrong, Eddie Thorpe.
Speaker 2: Eddie Thorpe. No, I don't know. Again, that's NXT. Gigi
Speaker 2: Dolan I've heard of okay, yes, yeah, And look she's
Speaker 2: got a great look to her. Look at her.
Speaker 3: She's phenomenal. Yeah, she's great.
Speaker 2: That is such a cool ass look that she's got going.
Speaker 2: But you know, again, they don't care. Courgie. She's cute. Yes,
Speaker 2: she is super cute.
Speaker 5: Kayden Carter and Katana Chance I was thinking about when
Speaker 5: I went through earlier. I was wondering if they were
Speaker 5: involved in the match that that followed your appearance on NXT,
Speaker 5: because I was like, all right, there were so many
Speaker 5: girls that.
Speaker 2: That was the main event that I was at. So
Speaker 2: there were ten girls in it. They might have been
Speaker 2: in it. I can't even remember who was in it.
Speaker 2: It was a ten girl gimmick. She went on socials
Speaker 2: and just and I don't blame her put herself over.
Speaker 2: She went on there and like something like no one's
Speaker 2: like me. There's no nobody out there like me, and
Speaker 2: it's it's very frustrating. It's very frustrating because you know,
Speaker 2: now it happened to me there, although I wasn't I
Speaker 2: wasn't as featured as these girls. I didn't even get
Speaker 2: a fair shot. Let's be honest with you, right, But
Speaker 2: it's frustrating when you know you can do something and
Speaker 2: nobody's listening to you, right, And I understand you. You know,
Speaker 2: writers do their thing and blah blah blah, and you
Speaker 2: could submit your ideas, but they don't always see your
Speaker 2: vision that you have. And that's why I'm gonna put
Speaker 2: him over for this. Like mac clardona, you know, he
Speaker 2: came out and he gave like three different uh steps
Speaker 2: to the newly released talent on how to get over
Speaker 2: after you know, life after WWE. He is a prime
Speaker 2: example of still making a very very good living on
Speaker 2: the indies and hustling and reinventing your character. And if
Speaker 2: this is something that you want to do, then these
Speaker 2: are you know, the steps that you should be taking.
Speaker 2: And it was successful for him, maybe it's successful for you.
Speaker 2: But when you know you can do something, when you
Speaker 2: know you can cut a good promo, or when you
Speaker 2: know you can you know, give that good match, and
Speaker 2: you don't get the opportunities, it messages with your head
Speaker 2: and sometimes it will make you think, am I not
Speaker 2: good enough? You know? And you should never doubt yourself.
Speaker 2: Just because they didn't see the vision that these workers
Speaker 2: had doesn't mean you know, it's not good enough or
Speaker 2: they couldn't cut it, because there's so many talented people
Speaker 2: that get released without even getting a fighting chance. So
Speaker 2: that's just my two cents. I feel like, you know,
Speaker 2: the grass could be greener on the other side, I
Speaker 2: always said WWE is not the be all and all
Speaker 2: of wrestling. Yeah, it might be the place where you
Speaker 2: make the most money, but it's you know, it's not
Speaker 2: like the last place to work. There are so many
Speaker 2: other places to work, and you can be super successful
Speaker 2: even if you're not on television anymore. And that's what
Speaker 2: these guys and girls have to realize. Like, you know,
Speaker 2: a lot of people are devastated and others are like,
Speaker 2: well f them, I'm just going to go out and
Speaker 2: be the best I can be, and maybe I'll get
Speaker 2: signed by AW or maybe I'll get signed by TNA,
Speaker 2: or maybe I'll just do indie work and be my
Speaker 2: own boss and do what I want and do my
Speaker 2: side projects. I saw one of the girls was like,
Speaker 2: my Only Fans is coming soon, and people were shitting
Speaker 2: on her for it, and I'm like, real, why, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: And I'm like why if she wants to show a
Speaker 2: little skin and make money and she's okay with it,
Speaker 2: that's on her. You know, it's still young enough that
Speaker 2: you don't have to kill yourself by taking a million.
Speaker 2: Mandy Rose is a perfect example of this. Mandy Rose
Speaker 2: made so much more money doing the Only Fans than
Speaker 2: when I believe then, and she was actually working for
Speaker 2: the company. Now, if you are a purist and you
Speaker 2: love wrestling and this is your passion, you could do both.
Speaker 2: You could do the Only Fans. You could do your wrestling.
Speaker 2: If wrestling left the bad taste in your mouth, I
Speaker 2: don't see anything wrong with doing, you know, a paid
Speaker 2: sub page, or if you are okay with it, and
Speaker 2: you could look at yourself in the mirror and be
Speaker 2: happy with yourself by all means, you know, do it.
Speaker 2: I don't see people were in uproar. Oh, she couldn't
Speaker 2: cut it in w W Easton. Now she doesn't get
Speaker 2: naked really Now, she's got to make money. She's got
Speaker 2: to make money somehow. I'm not looking down on anyone,
Speaker 2: whether they want to stay in the game or whether
Speaker 2: they go out and do something different. I mean, you
Speaker 2: got to make a paycheckslutely so. But again, it is
Speaker 2: frustrating when you know you have the ability to do
Speaker 2: great things and nobody gives you the opportunity to do so.
Speaker 5: Yeah, here's this group, so gallus. It's actually a group
Speaker 5: three guys. Yep, the three of them got the acts together.
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought it was one individual, all right.
Speaker 5: Joe Coffee being one of them. Joe Coffee's actually been
Speaker 5: there for a few years, so he uh yeah, he'll.
Speaker 3: Do very well for himself. And these other guys. Again,
Speaker 3: nothing against I just don't know them.
Speaker 2: I don't know. That looks like n XT.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all NXT guys, and it just it's it's
Speaker 5: it's a lot of weight that they're chopping. But you know,
Speaker 5: I just saw that Chelsea Green re signed a multi
Speaker 5: year deal, you know, so they're freeing up money to
Speaker 5: sign more. But we've heard that they're making money hand
Speaker 5: over fist, so it's more about chopping the extra roster
Speaker 5: space that I mean. Quite frankly, it was just kind
Speaker 5: of like it was just overtaking the They must have
Speaker 5: been overtaking the locker room. There was a lot of people,
Speaker 5: and the TV time is really getting smush, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. I think that this is a good move,
Speaker 5: but I mean, I don't want people to lose their jobs, obviously,
Speaker 5: but they're gonna get lost regardless, and then they're gonna
Speaker 5: get bummed and not want to do this, and at
Speaker 5: least they'll be able to go.
Speaker 3: Out and work somewhere.
Speaker 2: And how many times, and this is during the Vince
Speaker 2: era too, how many times did I tell you that
Speaker 2: people sat home and just collected checks and weren't even used,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, which to me is just
Speaker 2: a big waste of money. Good for the talent, if
Speaker 2: that's what you want to do. You know, like they
Speaker 2: would call me, like I told you, Gene would call
Speaker 2: me and he'd be like, you're not on the road,
Speaker 2: and he thought I'd be upset. I'm like, yes, thank you.
Speaker 2: And Monday morning, my check would be at the door,
Speaker 2: and I didn't even go to work that week, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So they're paying you for doing nothing.
Speaker 2: So I guess now it's you know, it's under a
Speaker 2: different umbrella. It's like, hey, we're wasting tons of money here,
Speaker 2: you know, get rid of the people that were not using.
Speaker 2: But on the flip side, it's like, why weren't they
Speaker 2: being used? You know, again, somebody didn't see something in them.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean they're not talented. So go somewhere else,
Speaker 2: improve yourself. Just like this again, Cody Rhodes felt underappreciated
Speaker 2: his first run there. So what does he do. He
Speaker 2: goes and he makes aw and he goes and he
Speaker 2: gets himself over there. Now he ends back with WWE eventually.
Speaker 2: But you reinvent yourself, you know, go somewhere else, work,
Speaker 2: make your own opportunities. This is a business where you
Speaker 2: can do that and you can be successful. So I
Speaker 2: wish them all luck. You know, it's it's not the
Speaker 2: end of the world, it's not the end of their careers.
Speaker 2: They will be okay. You know, they might cry for
Speaker 2: the next week, but then you know, wipe those tears,
Speaker 2: get your ears up and get out there and find
Speaker 2: some work.
Speaker 5: And another thing too, just to piggyback, is they signed
Speaker 5: all the Triple A talent to new WWE deals to
Speaker 5: include Alberto Del Rio, which is getting a lot of
Speaker 5: controversy spread online. And I mean this is just from
Speaker 5: a fan base that is kind of just seeing things
Speaker 5: that's been done over the years and.
Speaker 3: This guy's just getting tons of eight.
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think they know the Alberto Del
Speaker 5: Rio performer that was on the mainstream scene, you know,
Speaker 5: ten plus years ago.
Speaker 3: They're just seeing things that have happened in the news
Speaker 3: over the last decade or so.
Speaker 5: But and I mean Alberto del Rio being back in
Speaker 5: the mix in a big company like that, if they
Speaker 5: use him the way that Vince McMahon did, it's great
Speaker 5: addition to WWE roster from a main event perspective. So
Speaker 5: I mean that's why, you know, they cut the fat,
Speaker 5: and that's not a disparaging comment to now give the
Speaker 5: contracts to the Triple A talent and they're bringing in
Speaker 5: a whole new crop of people that they're going to feature.
Speaker 3: So I mean it's just one of those things.
Speaker 2: I guess, Well, on the flip side of that, I
Speaker 2: saw that AW is doing a residency at the ECW Arena. Really,
Speaker 2: we'll look it up right now, pull it up. Talk
Speaker 2: about downsizing your buildings, which we've talked about with them
Speaker 2: running these massive arenas for television tapings and not filling
Speaker 2: half the building. Now they're coming to the arena that
Speaker 2: can hold what twelve hundred people, which is gonna look
Speaker 2: great for television. But they're doing multiple dates there.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I see that right here.
Speaker 2: So the word on the street is, you know they're
Speaker 2: starting to downsize with the buildings. Yeah, two weeks they're
Speaker 2: running a bunch of shows. So then, you know, I
Speaker 2: was getting phone calls saying, well, are you going to
Speaker 2: be there? Did they ask you to go? I said, no,
Speaker 2: one called, No one asked me to be there. I
Speaker 2: don't know if they're going to have any talent there.
Speaker 2: Well they should. They should do an NXT, did I said? Listen,
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're doing. I'd be open to it.
Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of the boys would be open
Speaker 2: to it. But as of right now, don't know if
Speaker 2: anybody was contacted. So, but my point is, you know,
Speaker 2: was that a you know, just saving money to get
Speaker 2: some TV like why why the arena because it's so
Speaker 2: much smaller than what they're used to.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're seven shows scheduled. Look at that. They're thrilled
Speaker 2: to bring it there. We got they're thrilled. That's he
Speaker 2: looks forward to returning for the first time since he's
Speaker 2: been thirteen years old. That's when he came to see us.
Speaker 2: He's thirteen years old. So interesting. But I mentioned it
Speaker 2: because like downsizing, it sounds like that's that's a downsize
Speaker 2: for you know, you're paying thousands and thousands and thousands
Speaker 2: of dollars to be in these bigger buildings and now
Speaker 2: they're doing the arena. So maybe that's But my point
Speaker 2: is the way they're saving money by doing their cuts
Speaker 2: over at WWE, a W is now using smaller venues
Speaker 2: and saving some cash as well.
Speaker 3: Yes, and guess what they'll do.
Speaker 5: They'll make some special T shirts and they'll have some
Speaker 5: really exclusive, you know, opportunities during that residency and they'll
Speaker 5: make a ton of money. And then the next press
Speaker 5: release that will come out on Friday, September twelfth, after
Speaker 5: that last collision taping is AW has record residency Gate
Speaker 5: at ECW Arena because that, to me is the right move.
Speaker 5: And then the next one I'd make if I were
Speaker 5: with them is I go right to Hammerstein and I'd
Speaker 5: set up at Hammerstein for a week.
Speaker 2: Well, the next thing after they announced that is Tony
Speaker 2: Kahn buys the twenty three Arena.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, can you imagine that he's the new
Speaker 3: under right? That would be insane.
Speaker 2: That would be something.
Speaker 3: That would be insane. The AW Arena, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: that would be insane.
Speaker 2: It will always be the ECW Arena to me, even though.
Speaker 5: Can you imagine, like if you did that then turns
Speaker 5: called it the a W are that the freakiest I
Speaker 5: think that would literally, that'd be almost as crazy as
Speaker 5: when Vince McMahon was kicked out of w W. That's
Speaker 5: like the two things that would be the most freakiest
Speaker 5: news stories of all right.
Speaker 2: Now, so crazy, but yeah, well here's something that might
Speaker 2: help all those who have been released. There's a new
Speaker 2: company Onzon, so I hear, and uh, you know, when
Speaker 2: this was announced, I didn't watch the promo. So we're
Speaker 2: gonna put the promo up because I'm interested. Now. I
Speaker 2: thought it was going to be a podcast, and I'm
Speaker 2: referring to Hal Cogan and Eric Bischoff and Izzy what's
Speaker 2: the guy's name? I don't know something. Izzy.
Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna because I want to.
Speaker 2: Watch this promo. Honestly thought it was going to be
Speaker 2: another podcast, and I was like, is the third guy
Speaker 2: going to be Conrad like? But they said he's an athlete.
Speaker 2: Who's the third guy?
Speaker 3: And then they said it was chopped off the list?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they said it was Izzy, And I
Speaker 2: think his name is Izzy, but I don't know the
Speaker 2: premise behind the company it's supposed to be. I think
Speaker 2: Bischoff's gonna run it, and then Hogan is supposed to
Speaker 2: be like an on air commissioner of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, is that correct?
Speaker 2: Okay, listen, you're a big Hogan fan. Why are you
Speaker 2: shitting on this before it even starts?
Speaker 3: Let's play the stupid clip.
Speaker 4: So serious because you know who I am? What you
Speaker 4: don't know?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 4: So like you people know who we are, you have
Speaker 4: no idea.
Speaker 1: What we're about.
Speaker 4: We're back, Boster, We are so back, so.
Speaker 6: So better than before.
Speaker 3: It is so good.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 6: I love you the most, No, I love you the most.
Speaker 6: You are my favorite of harm But you know, man,
Speaker 6: so hard we change the world one time, but now
Speaker 6: here to wake them up. We're here to slice and
Speaker 6: dice the world of wrestling.
Speaker 4: And you're not gonna know what hits you. You know,
Speaker 4: we've changed the world of professionals, that's a given.
Speaker 3: Rock you.
Speaker 2: Should we tell them, Should we tell them where their.
Speaker 4: Should we talk about his projections? Should we talk about
Speaker 4: all of his championships? Should we talk about the world
Speaker 4: class athletes?
Speaker 3: All right, I'm done, Thank you Jesus. I mean, like,
Speaker 3: I love the guy to death. I thought it was
Speaker 3: going to be better than that boring.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah. Haul Cogan and Eric Bischoff announced the brand
Speaker 2: new joint venture after two wrestling promos cut in an
Speaker 2: n w O style with the Hulks. They're clearly going
Speaker 2: back to his Hollywood Hogan persona. Uh real American free
Speaker 2: style wrestling. Okay, do you.
Speaker 5: Want to see one with the guy just where he
Speaker 5: pops out? Do I have to just to see him
Speaker 5: because it's so it's so bad?
Speaker 2: Well, let me let me just say it says here.
Speaker 2: They're supposed to have a debut show in Cleveland of
Speaker 2: August of this year. There's supposed to be twelve matches
Speaker 2: on it. Eight men in eight weight classes and four
Speaker 2: women's matches. The promotion will also focus on using both
Speaker 2: college wrestlers and veteran wrestlers who have competed at the
Speaker 2: national and international levels. He says, I think we're on
Speaker 2: the right track.
Speaker 3: Brother, It's okay. You gotta just see this guy pop in,
Speaker 3: all right, it's so bad.
Speaker 2: I think it's leaning towards amateur wrestling more so than
Speaker 2: professional wrestling. Is that the vibe I'm getting Busy style
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 4: The master of disaster, the man the rules the world
Speaker 4: of wrestling. I mean, this is crazy. This is crazy.
Speaker 2: You've seen what these two have done before. We got
Speaker 2: the cash, we got the talent, and we got real
Speaker 2: American freestyle wrestling.
Speaker 4: And we've got our third man Shack.
Speaker 6: You know, people are gonna true, people are gonna get
Speaker 6: scared because Eric is ea excuse me, knows how to
Speaker 6: be everybody.
Speaker 4: It's media. It's gonna run wild on the whole world
Speaker 4: of wrestling.
Speaker 6: And now that step part came up and we're now
Speaker 6: in the world of professional freestyle wrestling. All I have
Speaker 6: to say is welcome to the black and Blue. Welcome
Speaker 6: through the black and Blue of freestyle professional wrestling.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get paid to beat people up. You're gonna
Speaker 1: get paid to win. You're gonna get paid make them scream,
Speaker 1: So roll out the red carpet. I don't want Super System,
Speaker 1: Super Super I.
Speaker 4: Want Mega Mega Mega Stalls.
Speaker 3: So this is bad.
Speaker 5: I mean this is.
Speaker 2: Sweet a minute. Is this going to be more of
Speaker 2: a shoot wrestling style like you would find at the
Speaker 2: Olympics or in a college gymnasium where they're on the mat.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking it as.
Speaker 5: Yes, That's what I'm taking it as is freestyle, old
Speaker 5: school headgear, single it on a mat. But they're trying
Speaker 5: to give it the professional wrestling flair, which you know
Speaker 5: you always like used to make the joke back in
Speaker 5: the day, like at least I went back in school like, oh,
Speaker 5: you know what this this wrestling needs is a little
Speaker 5: professional wrestling.
Speaker 3: Let's give it music, Let's give it, you know, an entrance, right.
Speaker 5: I think that's what these guys are going to get
Speaker 5: now with Hogan and Bishoff involved.
Speaker 2: This is uh something that I would be interesting in
Speaker 2: watching the premiere episode of just to see what the
Speaker 2: hell is going on, because right now in my brain
Speaker 2: I'm seeing like five different scenarios, and I don't know
Speaker 2: if any of them are going to be correct, but
Speaker 2: it does peque my interest.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Can I just say though, while I agree with you,
Speaker 5: the concept is intriguing. Yes, the execution of whomever had
Speaker 5: the money to pay Hogan and Bischoff is brilliant.
Speaker 3: This is awful.
Speaker 5: This was the biggest letdown, No no, no, no, from
Speaker 5: the the build up perspective when we go back to
Speaker 5: video one. I've rarely been let down by the Hulkster
Speaker 5: as a hulky maniac, and I'm not. Before I say that,
Speaker 5: let me preface this, folks. I am not talking about
Speaker 5: Terry Bolea, the man and the things that he's done
Speaker 5: in the real world.
Speaker 3: I'm not not talking about that. I'm talking about the
Speaker 3: Hulk Hogan character.
Speaker 5: Okay, outside of losing to The Ultimate Warrior in nineteen ninety,
Speaker 5: I've never been let down by this character more than
Speaker 5: with this black and white promo.
Speaker 3: This was so bad.
Speaker 5: And then for this, this is the idiot guy to
Speaker 5: be flap flap doing this to the money behind the Hulks.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that was so bad.
Speaker 2: Is he down? Is he the money guy in this?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe Bishop.
Speaker 2: Did Hogan and Bishoff put their own money and create
Speaker 2: this or is there a backer? Do we know that?
Speaker 3: I'm I don't know. I'm gonna guess they're getting paid
Speaker 3: to be there.
Speaker 2: So you don't think that this is their launch. You
Speaker 2: think that this is there's a company behind this, and
Speaker 2: they're the spokespeople for it.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, and they're getting paid. Well, which is that
Speaker 3: smile on.
Speaker 5: Bischoff's face, He's like, I mean, look, he didn't even
Speaker 5: commit to the nWo thing. He's just wearing his like
Speaker 5: regular Haynes T shirt that he had what he got
Speaker 5: to shoot Hogan?
Speaker 3: At least put the beard on, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: He got the Hollywood sunglasses, right, you know he's got
Speaker 5: the whole Hollywood Hogan.
Speaker 3: Look he showed up.
Speaker 2: Is he's got his own merch? Is he style wrestling?
Speaker 2: It's is he Mania?
Speaker 3: Look he's very is he very punishable? Now?
Speaker 5: I'm sure if I went to throw a punch at
Speaker 5: is he he turned me into a pretzel because he's
Speaker 5: a freestyle wrestler.
Speaker 3: So I'm not going to do that. Is he what elected?
Speaker 3: Oh he's gotta be He's gotta be like is this
Speaker 3: is he.
Speaker 2: Guy a worker or is he the money man behind
Speaker 2: all this?
Speaker 3: You know, I'm sure it's probably both.
Speaker 2: This is amazing. I need to know more. I want
Speaker 2: to know more. As a matter of fact, well, I
Speaker 2: be getting booked for this federation as well.
Speaker 5: You know, they can use somebody like the Queen of
Speaker 5: Extreme perhaps expert commentary. And if they've ever seen the
Speaker 5: Queint of Extreme is a referee, they would know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, days are over remembering the surgeries.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2: I can't move.
Speaker 3: This freestyle wrestling, you don't have to move as much, true.
Speaker 1: You know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the these two promos were kind of outdated. They
Speaker 2: were low lame, but I'm intrigued because I do. I
Speaker 2: do want to see where they're going with this. I'd
Speaker 2: like to see what the concept is like a visual
Speaker 2: of not just three older men standing there like telling
Speaker 2: how cool something's going to be. I want to see
Speaker 2: who's involved, what we're workers. Because he did say there
Speaker 2: were going to be some There won't people that we know,
Speaker 2: you know, some big names, So who's he getting? You
Speaker 2: know what I mean?
Speaker 5: I'm sure you'll see a Kurt Angle popping in to
Speaker 5: say hi. I think you'll definitely get.
Speaker 2: Some I want to know what's going down with this
Speaker 2: fed and and maybe it's a good opportunity for people
Speaker 2: to get jobs. For young you know, the younger talent
Speaker 2: to go over and work. Any new company is a
Speaker 2: good thing. Whether you shit on it or whether you don't,
Speaker 2: it's an opportunity for more people to have a job.
Speaker 2: So I'm always like a cheerleader for that. I hope
Speaker 2: it's successful. I hope people can make money from them.
Speaker 2: But I'm curious to see what the hell is going
Speaker 2: to go on because I can't pinpoint from reading that article.
Speaker 2: I can't pinpoint, like what the concept is.
Speaker 3: You know, Hogan's going We're going to get this guy
Speaker 3: to be broke by the end of it.
Speaker 2: I've got a big wat of cash right now. I
Speaker 2: don't know if he's going to have it in six months.
Speaker 3: See all this money, we've gotta take all of it.
Speaker 2: You think that's real money they're holding.
Speaker 5: I mean maybe, you know, look the old trick. The
Speaker 5: first couple of bills are the real bills. The rest
Speaker 5: of them just you know, the paper money.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm telling you what is he mania with that
Speaker 2: T shirt? That's probably going to be the top selling
Speaker 2: merch because this guy looks like he's going to be
Speaker 2: super over. He's going to be the mega heel. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm excited about it. I want to see it,
Speaker 2: maybe if they put it out and they do, like
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's going to be on regular TV.
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's going to broadcast, but maybe
Speaker 2: we can do like a watch along or something.
Speaker 5: I would love to In fact, the Hulks are I
Speaker 5: would love to have him mooted on Eyes of Here
Speaker 5: because I have a feeling this is one of those things,
Speaker 5: you know when like I just watched an interview with
Speaker 5: Will Ferrell when he went and promoted a movie on
Speaker 5: OPI and Anthony and it's like woww wow, OPI and
Speaker 5: Anthony got Will Ferrell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was promoting a movie that he did in
Speaker 3: all Spanish. So it's like, this is one of those projects.
Speaker 5: And maybe we get Hulk Hogan because he's it's so
Speaker 5: low on the Hogan totem pole that maybe we can
Speaker 5: get him now.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I am curious, not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: I want to see what this is. It might be
Speaker 2: so out there, it might be cool once they get
Speaker 2: everything together.
Speaker 5: He did midget he did a midget wrestling league, okay,
Speaker 5: where he was the commissioner.
Speaker 2: Do you know they draw the draw?
Speaker 3: Well, micro Championship wrestling.
Speaker 2: My friend Dan wall from and he used to work
Speaker 2: in ECW with me. He does that now, and he's
Speaker 2: sends me videos of like twelve thousand people in an arena.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. They tour all over the country.
Speaker 5: Well, Mike Hogan's micro Championship Wrestling, that was a thing
Speaker 5: for a little bit. Hogan celebrity wrestling was a thing
Speaker 5: for a little bit.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe this ventual will been better for him. I'm
Speaker 2: just just out of curiosity. I would just look to
Speaker 2: see the first episode because I wonder like how it's
Speaker 2: going to be. I'm sure there'll be music and a
Speaker 2: big Titan tron and entrances and all that stuff, but
Speaker 2: how can they make it different than professional wrestling? What's
Speaker 2: going to make it stand out? Are they going to
Speaker 2: be in a ring? Are they going to be on
Speaker 2: a mat? Are they gonna well, what's the deal? How
Speaker 2: are they going to do this? So curiosity, I'm intrigued,
Speaker 2: you know, and hey, this you might eat your words.
Speaker 2: You might love it. You might have to DVR every
Speaker 2: single episode and watch it.
Speaker 3: You know. If I love it, I'll eat my hat.
Speaker 2: Okay, we've heard you say that before and that that
Speaker 2: still sits on your head. So yeah, but that's it.
Speaker 2: That's that's all that's going on. Nothing major. I will plug.
Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to find it on my
Speaker 2: Twitter or my my EX, but I will plug. What
