WEBVTT - Ask Me Anything 0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:08.200 M h. What's up? Everyone, Welcome back to a brand 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.239 new episode of Wrestling with Freddy, and today's episode is 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:15.280 a very special episode because of you. Today is our 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.360 ask Freddy episode that was our hashtag and y'all came 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.280 through big time. So a ton of appreciation for you, 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.919 a ton of appreciation for professional wrestling, and let's start 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.960 the show. Wrestling with Freddie starts right now now stuffing 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.560 up for the mic. The host of Wrestling with Freddy 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:40.000 Freddie Prince Tune. Yeah, all right, everybody, welcome back. Sorry 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.720 for the bat young counter impression. Today's episode was asked Freddie. 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.280 We got tons of questions from all of y'all fine 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.280 ladies and germs, and I'm gonna get through as many 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.880 as I can, and I will try not decide quest 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.920 um although some of you probably like the side quest 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.440 more so we'll keep an open mind and we'll see 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.959 where the river takes us. So today, if I get 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.280 any names wrong, I apologize a lot of these. I 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.959 feel like I cannot screw up. So we're gonna start 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.880 right away with Haley Hales, and I'm reading some of 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.080 these for the first time, so you're gonna get honest 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:20.120 reactions here we go. Haley Hales asks from Twitter. Throughout 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.800 your tenure with w w E, was there ever a 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:27.840 time where you thought you might be fired for doing something? No? 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.399 I was never afraid I would lose my job. But 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.520 that's not to say there weren't times where I was 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.959 almost fired. I just don't. I just don't know about him. 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.759 Maybe Bruce Pritchard would know. You could ask his Were 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.240 you guys ever going to secretly fire Freddie? No? I 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.679 never got in any trouble when I worked there. I 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.120 had a couple of segments that Vince didn't feel worked 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.480 or that Vince didn't like that he would yell about. 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.640 But that was never like, oh my gosh, am I 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.040 gonna get fired. That's just two people with different ideas arguing, 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.560 and that's to me, is rarely a bad thing if 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.680 they're both If both people have the same goal in mind, 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.360 which is, let's make the best thing. When one person's 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.600 goal is simply screw you, then no, that's not a 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.960 healthy conversation. But I never had any of those, Hailey Hales. 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:19.560 Our next question is from Comahan. Oh, like Han Solo 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.400 and the Coma and the Carbon Night, maybe different fans 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.280 want different things with wrestling. Some companies try to be 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:31.720 a buffet. Yes, they do, some target specific audiences also true. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.800 How would you balance a national company between character driven, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:42.839 moral stories, athletics, sport, light competition, grandeur, nice word, etcetera. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.840 What's the ideal mix for you? Ask FPJ so Comahan. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.800 There's no right or wrong answer to this. I don't 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.000 think there's anything wrong with buffet wrestling, though that's not 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.639 what I would want to do if I we're making 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.320 a wrestling con federation. But there is something to be 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.639 said for that, a little something for everyone, and that's 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.000 definitely the w w E style. Per Vince McMahon's own lips, 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.680 you know, he said to me, verbatim, this is this 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.960 is vaudeville. We give the people a little bit of everything, 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.800 a little bit of song dance, which was literal back then. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.920 It was not Lillian Garcia, it was Jillian and she 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:27.120 her gimmick was to sing poorly, so the crowd would boo, 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.160 and when the baby face female wrestler would come out 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.560 and beat her up and more importantly shut her up, 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.520 than the crowd would cheer and would love our baby 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:40.360 face female wrestler. So he literally put song and dance 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.840 into the show. That's not exactly my style, but when 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.839 I was young, I didn't, you know, I didn't mind 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.280 it at all. Then there's cater to your to the 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:54.000 more of the social media hardcore, the vocal fans, which 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.880 is more the A e W style, which gets it 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.480 right and gets it wrong, just like w W W E. 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.200 Although I do give a W credit for the best 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.360 wrestling story in over a decade with the m JF 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.480 and CM punk storyline, which if you haven't seen it, 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.120 I'm sure someone edited it together on YouTube, if not 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:19.719 a e W themselves and their social media and YouTube group, 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.839 they cut together some pretty awesome stuff, so you should 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.680 even check that out. They're less buffet and they cater 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.080 I think, more to the modern wrestling fan. And then 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.760 there's smaller promotions that do just female wrestling, the Japanese promotions, 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.360 which is more a strong, beat them up, tough guy 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.560 kind of even tough girl style, which people like, although 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.560 maybe in Japan they called there's buffet style, I don't know, 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.839 and the g c ws that do more hardcore and 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.040 deathmatch stuff. I think for me and I can't say 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.600 too much, and I don't know if your question was 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.400 was evil enough to be trying to figure out what 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.279 I'm going to try to do with my federation. But 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.320 if it is, kudos, but it didn't work. Mine is 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.880 certainly gonna be in a specific lane, and it's gonna 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.680 lean into that lane as much as all of us 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:15.240 physically and emotionally can. But I will be global. As 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.440 far as the type of talent that I'm looking for, 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.680 I feel I have a really smart way to protect 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.200 non English speaking talent. I feel I have a really 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.359 smart way to protect talent that's maybe not so strong 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.800 on the mic, but they're wrestling is super legit and 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.760 they just need someone to help him out. In the 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.919 old days, we have managers speak for him, and in 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.760 the in the in the new day, in the in 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.240 the contemporary wrestling world, it still works as well if 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.760 you have the right kind of voice. Paul Hayman, I guess, 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.560 is the perfect example of that. Although my favorite manager 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.800 of all times Mr Fuji, who wasn't even that great 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.719 on the mic, but I just loved him. But I 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.120 think I have a unique way to do it that 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.599 I'm sure it's been done before, but not to my knowledge. 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.799 I'm no historian, but I look forward to surprising people 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.400 with that. Hopefully it's a surprise, and I don't get 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.080 a million people going, oh, that was done and not 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.360 d in thirty three. I's so sorry, born in seventy, 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.839 so so yeah. I hope that answers your question. I 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.960 think it does, but it will certainly be in a 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:24.520 specific in a specific lane. Next we have X. That's 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.920 what you get, bro or chick. I don't know who 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.480 you are, asks Freddie. That's me. I've listened to most 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:36.120 of your podcast apps, hold on most for if your 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.080 hashtag is four twenty, you and I both know how 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.280 much damn free time you have on your hands, and 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.200 you've only listened to most. I get the Cornett and 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.359 the others give you two and a half three hours, 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.839 and that can maybe feel the day. Come on, Matt, 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.000 you can listen to me while you're driving to the 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.640 shop right for twenty or maybe your delivery dude, and 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.719 you're helping people out. You can listen to me on 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.600 your delivery. It be the perfect amount of time. And 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.160 you've listened to most of the episodes. I'm skipping your quip, 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.320 not chucking. Here we go, you've dropped nuggets along the way. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.400 Then did the full app about your own wrestling promotion, Yes, 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.560 I did. What's the most important to have slash grow 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:20.320 hardcore fan base or casual fan base. I think there's 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.239 a way to have one show that serves the house 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.440 audience with edits and cuts that they never see that 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.720 would make it to the TV version of that same 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.960 house show. I think there's a way to do that, 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.040 and I think I have a way to do that 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.960 which makes the house show feel more hardcore than it 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:44.040 would to a television distributor, so to speak. As far 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.760 as what's important to grow, your house has to be 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.480 a hot crowd, whether you have a hundred and fifty attendees, 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.640 which are some of my favorite wrestling shows that I've 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.840 been to, by the way, or whether you have a 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:02.840 hundred thousand attend to ease either way, your crowd has 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:08.040 to be hot for the TV product to have energy. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.520 I used to hate the what chant I really did? 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.840 I've said this before, but I when there were no 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.440 more crowds during the pandemic, I got how wrong I was. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:24.120 That energy was gone and the magic was gone. Imagine 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.840 being a magician and doing tricks for no one when 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.800 you know how the trick has done, which you're going 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.880 to impress yourself. What do you even why you why 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.880 did you take up? Magic is a profession if there's 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:43.000 gonna be no crowd. So I was I was dead 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:48.720 wrong and and dead ass arrogant on that. But my 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:52.160 experience came from television, where there is no audience minus sitcoms, 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.199 of course, and I didn't like theater. I liked movies. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:09:00.480 I think you have to dedicate a great portion of 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.960 your energy into servicing the people who bought tickets, over 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.520 servicing the people that turn onto television. And I think 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.640 if you take care of one, that magic exists, and 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.880 it in turn can take care of the other. If 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.280 someone's not gonna watch, they're not gonna watch. There's a 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.480 million cops shows on Law and Order still gets a 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.480 better rating than all of them, but there's a million 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.000 of them, so there's room for a million wrestling shows. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.160 People are gonna watch what they like and watch what 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.640 they connect to. So I think that answers your question. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:37.600 I think if you appetize the hardcore, you can gain 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.760 the mainstream. Look what punk rock did. Punk rock stayed 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.600 true to itself and then the mainstream embraced it, and 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:48.400 music evolved over time, like all art does. But horror films, 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:52.120 which were very niche back in the day, get hundred 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.520 million dollar budgets today's and they don't need it. You 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.600 can scare people for a lot less and art always changes, 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.720 just like just like punk rock music and just like wrestling. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.760 But I think when you stay true to the to 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.120 the foundation of it, that can that can be best. 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.360 Next question is at Reef is Um. I know this 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.600 dude from Twitter. I know Reef is M. He's very 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:27.200 vocal whether he's he's pro or con my opinion at 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.240 the time. What is the best wrestling match you've seen 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:36.080 in person? I mean, that's that's pretty easy. It upsets 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.600 some people based on the content, But I think if 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:44.880 people investigate the damage that was done to that man's brain, 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.679 which was the cause of him doing such horrible damage 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.040 to his family, then hopefully you can get around me 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.360 saying this. If you can't, I understand you can be 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.960 upset with me. You're allowed those feelings. I'm not trying 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.800 to hurt anyone's feeling by saying this, so I'm just 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.120 answering the question. But the best match I ever saw 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.880 in person was Curt Angle and the late Chris ben 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.240 Wah at Staples Center, and it was a repeat of 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.880 a match they had in Boston. I remember Shot came 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.000 in and the crowd went crazy because Shot came in, 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.120 and I was like, I only heard the applause. I 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.440 was like, wait, let's go. Why did Charon so loud? 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.440 This is a regular spot. And then I saw this 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.400 seven ft plus pound to walk back. It was the 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.840 best match I ever saw in person because neither man 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.840 stopped moving for thirty minutes like it was. It was 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.120 so insane that I hope answers your question, and anyone 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.679 that I offended, please remember that's that's not that's not 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.920 my intention. It was just the best. It was the 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.439 best match I ever. So next question is from to 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:49.200 one two Q underscore J g Man. To make sure 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.440 that no one's name is like a prank against me 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.240 where I'm saying stuff like the way y'all got Michael 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.240 bisbeing because I'm not young and quick anymore. All right, 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.320 J g Man, if you were able to go back 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.559 in time too before you worked at the w w E, 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.280 knowing how it turned out, would you still have agreed 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.600 to work for them? Yeah? Absolutely, I mean nothing turned 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.559 out poorly, yet I loved what I was able to 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.000 accomplish there. I loved the opportunities that I was able 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.199 to provide for the people I was there in the 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.000 short amount of time I was there. I've heard from 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:26.199 wrestlers since I left who said, thank you, this helped 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.200 me so much, or that little things that I didn't 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.640 even realize at the time. I mean, I did Gerald 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.000 Brisco and J B L's podcast, and at Brisco I'm 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.760 sure he says it to everybody just to be polite, 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.760 but he said, hey, you left the business better than 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.079 you than you inherited it, and that meant a lot 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.080 to me. You know again, even if it was just polite, 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:46.840 he didn't have to, he didn't have to say that 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.640 at the end of the show. But I I took 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.360 it and and I believed it because I felt like 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.080 I did good work when I was there, So regardless 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.240 of of the challenges and all that stuff. Now, I 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.320 would I wouldn't change the thing. I would go there. 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:06.040 Next question is from Media Uncharted. What are some wrestling 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:10.280 cliches that you think are overused or sick of seeing 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.400 referees getting something in their eyeballs. That's pretty much that's 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.280 pretty much two. I don't think refs need to I'm 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.000 not saying they can't ever be distracted the eye. The 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.920 I thing is silly. Some of the distractions that are 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.400 used in the mainstream are still silly to me. Some 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.319 are totally acceptable. I get that interference from the outside 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.839 of manager yelling at him, an opponent barking at him, 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.599 sometimes to the point where they get thrown out of 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.559 the ring. I don't get mad at that, but the 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:42.280 silly distractions, I get a little sick of contract signings maybe, 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:43.800 but ever once in a a while you still see a 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.600 good one. So I don't think that's played out. I 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.280 think it's just not always done well. So I would 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.040 go with the I got something in my eye cliche. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.160 That's the one. That's the one I'm done with. Man. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.920 Next question is from Jim Underscore ko W Jim Cow, 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.360 is there someone either ww UI or a e W 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:07.880 that you think is under you, that you think is underutilized, 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.040 and if so, how would you book them to get 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.000 over I like that. Thank you for the challenge. Okay, 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.800 all right, here we go. First of all, the Return 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.479 of Alexa Bliss was was a complete and total tragedy. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.800 They literally just said, here's a match, no story whatsoever, 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.360 here's a match. But they just brought her back, so 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.920 maybe they have something. So I'm not gonna dump on 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.680 that just yet. But Kevin owens Man, I feel he 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.800 should be playing in major stories all the time. I 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.040 think it's unfair to use him in stories that if 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.520 anyone else was trying to sell it, there's just no 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.080 way that the story would work or that you would 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:48.480 invest any time. But his level of commitment and his 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.640 his talent and his ability to execute that talent in 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.280 the ring and on the mic is next level. So 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.040 he's like writer or proof right, Like there's actors used. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.320 All have seen movies where you're like, YEO, this movie hucks, 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.920 but actor X is rocking the ship out of this, 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.920 so almost stick with it, whether whether it's male or female. 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.200 And you might like the dog to air Bud movies 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.280 and you're like, Yo, this movie sucks, but man, a 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.400 dog hit a home run, Like whatever it is, it's 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.920 the lead of that that film that that makes you watch, 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.760 you know, irrespective of the words coming out of their mouth. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.040 Oh how you like that? Mr who wrote Grandeur? In 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.920 your question? I just hit him with irrespective, I'll just 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.520 hit you back. So that's how I feel about that. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.760 It's hard to say is underutilized. I just feel maybe No, 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.600 I'm sticking with that. He should be a major title player. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.760 He should always be competing or up near the top 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:46.680 with say Cody, Seth Roman, Bobby, anybody who's a at 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.120 world championship level. He should be involved with one of 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:55.200 their character storylines at all times. Alright, Next question from 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.280 mL Gavin if you could watch this is a good question. 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.280 If you could watch two celebs fight in a TLC 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.880 match that's tables, ladders and chairs for all you civilians, 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.120 who would they be? This is good, all right, I 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:14.280 like this very much. Two celebs in a tables, ladders 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:19.280 and chairs, and so basically, who do I want to see? 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.200 What two actors do I want to see just get annihilated? 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.640 I would We're gonna do. I might give you two matches. Alright. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.960 First of all, check peete this. I already have the match. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.240 And these are two friends of mine who I love 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.640 very much, and both of them love wrestling. But I 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.840 would love to see Seth Green, which is Scott Evil 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.000 if you guys don't know who that is versus Mcaulay Culkin. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.760 I don't have to tell you what movies he was in. 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.280 In a tables, ladders and Chairs match, They're they're smaller 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.760 than Luca Doors. They would literally fly. If he jumped 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:54.600 off a ten foot ladder, it would look like it 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:58.520 was thirty feet up. I would love to and I 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.720 love them, and they would get hurt. Would I would 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.960 visit them in the hospital and give them kind words. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.679 But Seth Green versus Macaulay Culkin in a TLC match, 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.320 and on the women's side, I'm putting Rachel Lee Cook 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.439 in there against Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Rachel Lee Cook's 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.720 going over big, big, and it's a squash match. And 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.240 I'm not giving the women less time because I'm a misogynist. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.359 It's just because Rachel's so powerful and unpredictable that she 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:32.440 just annihilates Love in less than three minutes. I give 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.200 him three minutes with entrances, and I get Seth in 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:41.520 seven Mack, I give him thirty five minutes. That's my 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.679 favorite question of the day. Not the best question, mL Gavin, 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.080 but my favorite question. Our next question is from Aliva 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.359 Underscore Andrew call you Olive. We're gonna call you alive. 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.520 How's that all right, Olive? If you could pick, oh, okay, 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.960 if you could pick any wrestler in the history of 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:03.040 the business to be the top guy in your new company, 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.800 who would it be. So this is pretty easy because 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.680 you don't just want to go to who was super successful. 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:15.760 You have to go to whom had the biggest cultural impact? Right, 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:20.639 cultural impact where people who didn't even know wrestling knew 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:25.399 who your top guy was cultural impact, so they'll go to. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.280 For most people around our age would probably be Hulk Hogan. 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.040 But I'm not a Hogan guy. I was I was 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.080 like the bad guys. I was an Andre the giant guy. 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.040 So if I was going to do cultural like we 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.480 could go hardcore like down in Mexico and go Al Santo. Right, 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.960 who's probably I mean, you could argue as on the 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:47.760 Mount Rushmore of cultural impact and professional wrestling. If you 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.400 don't know who he is, that's okay, I'm not here 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.800 to dump on you. Just look up his impact in 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:59.359 Mexico and you'll you'll you'll see man do birthday as 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.040 a holiday. I think you have to go stone cold 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:06.280 Steve Austin because it was the ultimate fantasy, which was 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.000 punching your boss. Well, if your boss was cool, then 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.439 you don't have this fantasy. But for the working man, 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.639 for the blue collar man and woman for that matter, 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.880 stone Cold represented everything you wanted to do but couldn't. 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.800 And you knew maybe your boss is bigger than you, 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.200 so you couldn't throw a punch because he whooped your butt. 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.679 If you lived through Stone Cold's eyes, that wasn't gonna happen. 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.640 You were, you were getting the w So I think 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.040 I'd have to start it with Stone Cold Steve Austin. 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.199 I mean, his presence is still felt with the what 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:40.879 chant today in any wrestling federation. I don't know if 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.280 they do in Japan, I don't think. So that's so respectful, 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.840 the crowds are so insanely respectful. But everywhere else it's 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.760 still done. So I think you gotta go with with 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.320 the rattlesnake stone Cold, Stephen. He was getting he was 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:55.520 drinking beer on live TV. Man like that. He got 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.600 away with a lot at one True Richie. Has there 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.040 ever been a talent that pitched an idea to you 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.359 that you didn't think would work but did? That's a 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.000 pretty good question. I mean, we spoke at length about 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.120 the Dolph Ziggler. We did an episode dedicated to the man, 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.920 but he didn't come up with that. Brian Gowertz came 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.280 up with it, and Vince came up with the gimmick 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.360 of him just introducing himself. And I did not think 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.440 that was gonna work at all, and I was dead 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.040 as wrong. But as far as a wrestler pitching me 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:31.240 an idea that I then later saw that worked. Man, 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:34.960 I'm trying to think this doesn't exactly go to your question. 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:38.639 But I worked with E C three back when Ann Next. 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:42.160 He was like a like a mentor show, like young 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.840 rookie wrestlers, even though they weren't rookies. They're working with 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.439 a w W a mentor to learn how to wrestle, 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.880 and he was one of them, and they gave him 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.360 like this goofy gimmick where he was like a comedy 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:56.320 guy and he was always kind of pitching more serious stuff. 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.600 But I didn't think it wouldn't work. He just wasn't 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.360 gonna have the opportunity to get that bit over at 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.080 that time because they just didn't see that. They wanted 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.280 silly stuff. And then when he went to t NA, 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:13.879 he became that guy, and that gimmick got over real quick, 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:15.880 and he got that over really well too, and he's 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.440 still working that gimmick today. But none of us was like, yeah, 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.399 that's not gonna work. It just that that wasn't gonna 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.440 happen for him. He wasn't going to receive that type 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.320 of an opportunity there. So that's as close to answering 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.320 that one as I can get. Rich all right, This 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:33.560 one is for at merk Z Underscore Maverick. If you 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.879 had an opportunity to develop any type of video game 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:40.359 for consoles, what type of game would you choose? And 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.560 why is your show so dope? Love you? All right, 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:44.480 So we'll get a little off topic here. This will 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:46.480 be our side quest for the day. Two of my 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:50.160 favorite worlds have been done already. The Wild West, which 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:53.440 read Dead Redemption Too is a perfect game. They've already 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:55.760 done that. So I don't want to do something that 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.240 someone else has done perfectly because I wouldn't be able 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.320 to make it as good. And their stories and that 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:03.520 were great too, and they pulled from the same movies 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:06.560 that I would have pulled from. I wrote a Dungeons 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:10.000 and Dragons story, a much longer one for the up 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.720 Up Downtown people at w w E. I was there 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:16.160 dungeon Master for season three and wrote like a five 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.720 and a half hour story for them that they broke 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:21.680 into I think four or five episodes. Originally we're talking 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:23.720 about doing another one and making it much longer. And 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.000 it was literally the wild West and a lot of 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.040 Red Dead Redemption too was in there, a lot of 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:30.639 it with my own stuff. I did a lot of 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:32.560 uh but we still they do it, so I don't 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:35.000 want to spoil it. But yeah, so I wouldn't want 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:38.159
