Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Are you ready? It's about to hit
Speaker 1: the fan.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Unsanctioned Thursdays ho wrestling.
Speaker 3: With Fready, Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Unsanctioned Thursdays, the
Speaker 3: show created by you for you. Today's episode we get
Speaker 3: into voicemails from you, the listener on behalf of Jeff.
Speaker 3: I this is Chris Christofferson. No, he's a real Guysfjefferson
Speaker 3: and this is Unsanctioned Thursdays here. What's up everybody? Sorry?
Speaker 3: That guy's so in professional? Can you remember his own name?
Speaker 3: But I'm here, mister Jeff's here, and today you are
Speaker 3: here as well. You're an actual part of the show.
Speaker 3: You're gonna hear your voices, You're gonna hear your question.
Speaker 3: So I hope you didn't use naughty language, because if
Speaker 3: you did, I'm calling your mamas. Jeff, how are you today, sir?
Speaker 4: Feeling good man? Woke up look late and that's but
Speaker 4: get I needed the extra rest, you know.
Speaker 3: Sorry, you're allowed to sleep in. You don't have babies.
Speaker 3: You don't have no babies yet. I'm good, It's okod me.
Speaker 3: I woke up at five thirty life's fun party on.
Speaker 3: Let's start the show with us as our amazing producer,
Speaker 3: Alex is going to play your voice messages for us
Speaker 3: today so that we can hear your lovely voices, your questions,
Speaker 3: and hopefully give you some quality answers.
Speaker 1: This first one comes from Eddie Lamb.
Speaker 5: Eddie Lamb, my man, Hey, Freddie, this is Eddie from Annapolis, Maryland.
Speaker 5: Just curious what wrestlers in WWE do you think it
Speaker 5: would be better suited in a W and you would
Speaker 5: like to see there? And what wrestlers from a W
Speaker 5: do you think would work better in WWE.
Speaker 3: So we've flirted with this topic before, Jeff. As far
Speaker 3: as the AEW to WWE, I think Ricky Starks would
Speaker 3: transition seamlessly because of his ability on the mic and
Speaker 3: how heavily valued that is within the company's higher ups.
Speaker 3: If you're good on the mic, you will get a shot.
Speaker 3: They will find people to bounce off you and work
Speaker 3: around you, even if you're not. You know, the best
Speaker 3: wrestler people who will make you look great. The cool
Speaker 3: thing with Ricky Starks is he can already do the
Speaker 3: work and he's sick on the mic, so I think
Speaker 3: he could be a big star there in WWE. As
Speaker 3: far as reversing that, that's a little trickier because the
Speaker 3: people who are working right now are working really well. Granted,
Speaker 3: we all want to see La Night with a title,
Speaker 3: but he's kind of bigger than a title right now,
Speaker 3: so I don't know if he necessarily needs one. The
Speaker 3: reverence for the Japanese wrestling at AEW seems much greater
Speaker 3: than at WWE, So I'll throw out chins Kannakamura as
Speaker 3: somebody who would get quality wins at ae W against
Speaker 3: top opponents, whereas they feel a bit more reticent to
Speaker 3: pull that off in WWE. So there's my answer.
Speaker 4: What about you, Jeff, I feel like a lot of
Speaker 4: the wrestlers in ae W, like like if Ricky Starks
Speaker 4: comes over to ae W or sorry comes over to
Speaker 4: WWE or something, it would be like he's he's got
Speaker 4: big star power and like he's got the he's got
Speaker 4: everything going for him, but he's undersized.
Speaker 3: And I feel like like.
Speaker 4: Shinske goes to AW is like he's a giant over there,
Speaker 4: Like there are a lot of like smaller guys in
Speaker 4: ae W and then.
Speaker 3: Big that's true, they got the Adam Coles and whatnot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so's I feel like immediately anybody that goes from
Speaker 4: WWE over to a W would be kind of like
Speaker 4: this larger bodied person, So it'd be tough to make
Speaker 4: those I would have a tough time predicted who would
Speaker 4: do well from a W two WWE, So I don't
Speaker 4: I don't really know, just it would feel like, can
Speaker 4: imagine Roman Reigns at AW would.
Speaker 6: Be like what what are we?
Speaker 3: But I could imagine a Baron Corbin at an ADW
Speaker 3: as Tom Pestock, you know what I mean, and just
Speaker 3: doing his thing and killing it there and being more
Speaker 3: of himself than the characters that they create for Yeah,
Speaker 3: that was, but yeah, it is harder to go back
Speaker 3: the other way. You're right, it seems like that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Like Daniel Bryan, like there's nobody more over in the world,
Speaker 4: And when he was at AB or when he was
Speaker 4: at dB, he felt kind of like a middle of
Speaker 4: the lineup guy as far and.
Speaker 3: Until he popped. When he popped, he was the biggest star.
Speaker 4: But I'm wondering if that was because of size, size
Speaker 4: and Vince and all these giants that he has to slay, Like,
Speaker 4: I just don't wonder if it's a body sized thing.
Speaker 3: But I don't know. No, you're You're not wrong. I
Speaker 3: mean they definitely have a bias to the bigger guys.
Speaker 3: But guess what, so do you next question?
Speaker 1: This next one coming up is from Timothy Miller.
Speaker 7: Hey, Freddy, Hey, Jeff, A longtime fan here. This is
Speaker 7: Timothy down in a Savannah, Georgia, little south of where
Speaker 7: you guys just were up in Atlanta.
Speaker 8: But I just wanted to reach out and inquire.
Speaker 7: About something you guys have haven't touched on yet, and
Speaker 7: that is the TV show Heels. I'm the one starring
Speaker 7: Steven emmel Over on Stars. It's pretty great if you
Speaker 7: haven't checked it out. I think season two is a
Speaker 7: lot stronger than season one, and I just want to
Speaker 7: see what you guys thoughts are on it. If you
Speaker 7: have been given up with it, Is there anything in
Speaker 7: the work so we can maybe potentially get Steven emmel
Speaker 7: on maybe break down some his actual in ring work
Speaker 7: and his televised en ring work. Yeah, maybe we can
Speaker 7: bring some of that down. I think it's really fun.
Speaker 7: Thank you guys for amazing podcast now twice a week.
Speaker 7: Wonderful and keep up a good work, guys.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 3: What a nice thank you, sir. Appreciate you a lot.
Speaker 3: I have not seen Heels. I will say this, I
Speaker 3: don't watch any scripted television. I watch movies, sports, and wrestling,
Speaker 3: so it's really hard to get me into a series.
Speaker 3: I will say this. Every convention I've gone to someone
Speaker 3: has told me you have to watch Heels. Every wrestling
Speaker 3: fan I meet who's a fan of the show says, dude,
Speaker 3: you have to watch Heals. So maybe I have to
Speaker 3: watch Hels. I'm a fan of Stephen and Mel. I
Speaker 3: liked what he did. I thought Cody put him over
Speaker 3: big when he did start us versus Steven Mmel in WWE,
Speaker 3: and I thought he was the first celebrity to really
Speaker 3: do a good job in WWE in forever. And I
Speaker 3: was even on an episode where I took a bump
Speaker 3: from Randy Orton, and I thought what Steven Emmel did,
Speaker 3: because he did a whole match, was far, far superior
Speaker 3: than what anyone else had done up to that point.
Speaker 3: And now I think it's it sort of opened the
Speaker 3: door for other people to jump in there too, because
Speaker 3: they can show look what we did with Steven mml
Speaker 3: We can make you look this good too, and they
Speaker 3: can kind of sell themselves to the Logan Poles and
Speaker 3: the bad Bunnies of the world. So I haven't seen it.
Speaker 3: I probably should watch it. If I ever do, we
Speaker 3: will review it. And that's all I can promise you, sir.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never seen the show. We only talk about
Speaker 4: real wrestling here, all right, not fake wrestling. I had
Speaker 4: to talk about some scripting crap. I'm here to talk
Speaker 4: about real professional wrestling.
Speaker 3: Tell him, Jeff, all right, next cliz.
Speaker 1: This next one comes from Donna Yononi.
Speaker 9: Hey, Jeff and Freddy loved the podcast and listening since
Speaker 9: the beginning. My question for both of you guys is
Speaker 9: if you could write for any wrestler and any promotion, now,
Speaker 9: who would it be? And Jeff, when are you going
Speaker 9: to be in Philly?
Speaker 4: Got to come to Philly soon.
Speaker 3: So as far as the story, that's too on the
Speaker 3: spot for me to give you a quality story. Maybe
Speaker 3: Jeff can come up with something amazing by the time
Speaker 3: I'm done, but that's that's a lot. If I could
Speaker 3: go back to WWE, I would one hundred percent want
Speaker 3: to come up with something for La Night, but I
Speaker 3: don't think he needs me, so it would be someone
Speaker 3: that I would have to find as more under serviced,
Speaker 3: and so I I would have to go to someone
Speaker 3: like Santos Escobar where I could get to know him,
Speaker 3: talk to him about you know what kind of man
Speaker 3: he likes to put out there, groom that with the
Speaker 3: wrestler that he puts himself out there as, and then
Speaker 3: come up with a reason as to why he's fighting.
Speaker 3: But I really like him a lot. We had Zelena
Speaker 3: on here and she gave me shit for saying I
Speaker 3: didn't want her as his manager, and she was right,
Speaker 3: but it wasn't anything bad about her. It was just
Speaker 3: that I think Escobar can talk, and I think he
Speaker 3: should be given the opportunity to if you just give
Speaker 3: him the right story and let him speak in a
Speaker 3: voice that he's familiar with and not just you know,
Speaker 3: random dialogue. So that would be the WWE one ae
Speaker 3: W It's Ricky Stark's all day or it's Hobbes all day.
Speaker 3: Those would be the two that I would want to
Speaker 3: to do something for. So that's that's my answer, And
Speaker 3: I'm sorry that I didn't give you a story, even
Speaker 3: though that was a part of your request. But that
Speaker 3: is a lot to ask, right.
Speaker 4: Here's the thing. My answer is is gonna sound like
Speaker 4: predictable and like a joke, but it it's something I
Speaker 4: would genuinely do, and I think it would genuinely work.
Speaker 4: I'd go to that locker room. I'd find all the
Speaker 4: biggest guys almost you know, a big cast or now
Speaker 4: big whatever it is. I would just make a stable
Speaker 4: of giants and bronze strum and we put them all together.
Speaker 4: And what you do is you just be like. Their
Speaker 4: whole shtick is like we don't talk, we beat ass.
Speaker 4: So like there there's no mic work. That's the part
Speaker 4: of the gimmick is that there's no micros. Yeah, oh
Speaker 4: we're not like these yappy little shits out here.
Speaker 3: We we just we just beat shit up.
Speaker 8: That's what we do.
Speaker 4: And oh, you want a big promo boom, all four
Speaker 4: giants just slamming these wrestlers, And I think it'd be
Speaker 4: cool to just have.
Speaker 1: And now you don't.
Speaker 4: Need one big guy with a small guy or any
Speaker 4: of those things. You kind of got this, just this
Speaker 4: stable of giants, and I think that'd be awesome.
Speaker 3: I as I often do, I'm switching my answer. I'm
Speaker 3: going that'd be fun, right A bunch of giants. I'm
Speaker 3: going with I'm going with Jeffs. Going with Jefs.
Speaker 1: Next question, so instead of the Powers of Pain, we
Speaker 1: got the Pom the Powers of Meat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Palm Squad.
Speaker 4: Even Miro wouldn't be big enough for my for my stable,
Speaker 4: I need them to be tall, giant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do the mid meat classic, and it would
Speaker 3: be my guys that are just just not quite big.
Speaker 4: Like Hobbs and Merrow, like those are big guys. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but they're they're like they're like mid meats why and strong,
Speaker 4: you know, like I want these Vince freaks. Actually, you
Speaker 4: know what, Vince might be the only person in the
Speaker 4: world who would like that pitch. He'd be like, wait
Speaker 4: a minute, probably, I think he's on.
Speaker 3: I like it. But I like the guys that are
Speaker 3: as wide as they are tall, Like I like Otis
Speaker 3: and Wwe. I love Miro. I love how the Vikings
Speaker 3: like the Viking six six feet wide and six feet tall.
Speaker 1: This next one coming up is from Jessica Marion Narrow.
Speaker 3: Hey Marin Narrow.
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, I just want to say that.
Speaker 11: I absolutely love your podcast, Freddie. I think what you're
Speaker 11: doing is so awesome. You and mister Jeff Dye. I
Speaker 11: think what you guys have put together is awesome, and
Speaker 11: as a very very long time WWF WWE fan, I
Speaker 11: just want to say thank you for everything that you
Speaker 11: guys do.
Speaker 8: I think it's.
Speaker 10: Awesome hearing your experiences from the writing to how it's
Speaker 10: evolved and how your kids are involved, and I think
Speaker 10: it's awesome. So just wanted to share my love and
Speaker 10: to say how grateful I am. So keep doing the thing.
Speaker 10: I'll be listening on the other end. Leve always Jess
Speaker 10: from Queen's New York Bath.
Speaker 3: Yo, Miss Maren Narrow, You're super nice and we send
Speaker 3: you tons of love. Thank you so much. It's nice
Speaker 3: to get to do something you love as your job,
Speaker 3: and I know that not everyone gets to do that,
Speaker 3: and this is something that I truly enjoy getting to
Speaker 3: do every week. I don't get to see Jeff as
Speaker 3: often as i'd like because he's a traveling stand up
Speaker 3: comedian and is gone all the time. So it's our
Speaker 3: chance to kind of say hi and make each other smile,
Speaker 3: and it's it's a blessing to get to do this show,
Speaker 3: and I don't take it for granted. So thank you
Speaker 3: for the message. We appreciate you listening.
Speaker 4: Ready for a heel turn. What's her name, Jess, Jess
Speaker 4: Marnaro or whatever you call yourselves.
Speaker 3: Listen, No, New Jersey stinks, don't do it.
Speaker 4: We love you, j Just She's from Queens, Oh Queens, Yeah, Queens,
Speaker 4: New York stinks too.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: My buddy, my buddy, Randy's from there. Donald Trump's from there. Listen,
Speaker 4: Queen's is a dump and you know it, Jesz just kidding.
Speaker 3: We love it. We love you. You're the best.
Speaker 4: Thanks for listening. I just wanted to give you something
Speaker 4: a little different and some that's how That's how bad
Speaker 4: guy wrestlers show their love.
Speaker 3: That's what you get, Jess, that's what you get. No
Speaker 3: good deed goes unpunished, all right? Next mixed out of
Speaker 3: the box.
Speaker 1: This next one's from Dane Thompson, Big Dane, Hey.
Speaker 6: Freddy, This is Dane from Joplin, Missouri.
Speaker 2: I'm curious if the main Cody Rosey American Nightmare is
Speaker 2: set for sure to go to WrestleMania and fight a
Speaker 2: Roman reigns again and get that belt. Let me know
Speaker 2: what you think. Thanks, it's gotta be.
Speaker 3: It's gotta be otherwise there's no reason for him to
Speaker 3: be held away for so long. They put them on
Speaker 3: a different show for crying out loud, like they've done
Speaker 3: everything they can to keep them apart so that when
Speaker 3: Royal Rumble comes, they can start revving up this for
Speaker 3: this rematch, it's gotta be that's the only reason he
Speaker 3: lost was because he has to eventually win, and that'll
Speaker 3: be when Roman leaves to go and make movies or
Speaker 3: whatever it is he has planned. If not, then it
Speaker 3: was just a colossal waste. And I feel like he
Speaker 3: would be bummed that he even came back if that's
Speaker 3: how that story ended. So I think we will see
Speaker 3: the road to WrestleMania be laced with Cody Rhodes and
Speaker 3: Roman reigns his blood and sweat, and then we'll get
Speaker 3: a big final match and Cody'll finally go over. Roman
Speaker 3: can go take the break that he is for sure due.
Speaker 3: And if it means Hollywood, then party on.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 3: It just means wrestling's getting even more mainstream and there'll
Speaker 3: be more opportunities for even more wrestlers. I think it
Speaker 3: is Destiny, my friend, Destiny Day.
Speaker 1: This next one coming up is from Kenzie Roberts.
Speaker 6: First off, I want to say rest in power to
Speaker 6: great Terry Falk getting the great Pray White.
Speaker 3: Who we're sign to.
Speaker 6: Secondly, my question is for both of you, Well, you
Speaker 6: guys accept a job from Bas McMahon on creatives. But
Speaker 6: the kicker is he said, you guys work remotely. See
Speaker 6: you guys can still do your other game faced us.
Speaker 6: The show all was a great show, always five stars
Speaker 6: for me. Keep up the great work.
Speaker 3: That's an interesting question, man, that I do it. Listen, yeah, man,
Speaker 3: there are times where I've thought about it, and there
Speaker 3: are wrestlers who inspire you enough to do it. That
Speaker 3: would be a hard note. If I could stay home.
Speaker 3: Although you want to be there once you go and
Speaker 3: you're a part of the process, you really you miss
Speaker 3: it when you're not there. If I had the freedom
Speaker 3: of schedule to go to the shows I could make,
Speaker 3: and to stay home for the ones I couldn't and
Speaker 3: work remotely, that would be a hard That would be
Speaker 3: a I would be hard pressed to say no, regardless
Speaker 3: of what I was doing. Even if I was working
Speaker 3: on a movie, I'd be like, well, when I'm not
Speaker 3: learning lines, i could write some sweet wrestling dialogue, write
Speaker 3: all the shit this director won't let me say freaking jerk.
Speaker 3: So yeah, man, I could. I could see something like
Speaker 3: that happening. What about you, dude, you jump on?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I would do it just to see
Speaker 4: how well I would do or like what they're expecting.
Speaker 4: I would just be too upset with myself if I
Speaker 4: said no, So I'd try and if it worked out,
Speaker 4: then I'd be really happy.
Speaker 6: And if it's just like this isn't a thing.
Speaker 4: But the fact that it, like if I'd have to
Speaker 4: like change my life and live in Connecticut and travel
Speaker 4: four days a week or any of that stuff, like,
Speaker 4: it's just the easiest know in the world. But if
Speaker 4: you could maybe work remote, I would definitely give it
Speaker 4: my best shot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could plan out your comedy circuit to the
Speaker 3: raw schedule and you could do the clubs Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
Speaker 3: and then all the wrestlers would get there and then
Speaker 3: you just help them out on Monday, man, so they
Speaker 3: talk better shit and then you fly back home. Jack,
Speaker 3: what about that schedule, Jeff perfect.
Speaker 4: It would be a lot of travel, but it'd be fun.
Speaker 3: Ain't nobody more prepared for travel than a stand up comedian.
Speaker 3: You're taking the damn job. Jeff. All right, final.
Speaker 1: Question, next one is coming up from Mandy.
Speaker 3: Talk to me, Mandy, Hey, Freddy, Hey, Jeff.
Speaker 8: Mandy from Dallas. Thank you guys so much for doing
Speaker 8: your podcast. I just want to say, it's super fun
Speaker 8: to listen to someone that I was such a huge
Speaker 8: fan of growing up to bring on one of their
Speaker 8: friends and twice a week just talk about something that
Speaker 8: I love, and you guys have a super fresh take
Speaker 8: on it. I like that you have such an insider
Speaker 8: info on it, but also that you're so positive about it.
Speaker 8: It's not a lot of negative, heavy critiquing. I feel like,
Speaker 8: even when you guys do have something to say about
Speaker 8: it that's, you know, not so great. You guys are
Speaker 8: still excited about it and optimistic about the changes that
Speaker 8: they can make, and you know what that can become.
Speaker 8: And so thank you for just always lending that positivity
Speaker 8: to your podcast. And thank you for just being fun
Speaker 8: and nerdy and giving us Wrestling Dorks another fun podcast
Speaker 8: to listen to now twice a week because you guys
Speaker 8: are super freaking awesome. So I love you guys. Thank
Speaker 8: you so much for doing what you do.
Speaker 3: That's what a rational human being what a, what A,
Speaker 3: what a rational, accurate perspective on life and on us, Jeff,
Speaker 3: big love to you.
Speaker 4: She realizes that when we talk trash about wrestling, we
Speaker 4: still love the wrestlers and the wrestling. We're talking about
Speaker 4: it in the way you talk about a soap opera star.
Speaker 4: You know, you don't hate the lady on the soap opera,
Speaker 4: you just hate the character she's playing and what the
Speaker 4: story might be.
Speaker 3: So and I always thought they were super hot, like
Speaker 3: the eighties chicks on the soap operas. Oh man, like Lana.
Speaker 3: I'd walk in the room, my mom would be my
Speaker 3: mom would be like smoking her Carlton Menthols, and I'd
Speaker 3: walk through and see some smoking hot lady and some
Speaker 3: dude making out, and I'd be like, Yo, hello, I
Speaker 3: was only ten. Can I watch soaps too? What is
Speaker 3: this show? Mom? Seriously, though, thank you for the love,
Speaker 3: and I'm glad that we're able to entertain you. Thank
Speaker 3: you for thinking we have fresh takes on this. We
Speaker 3: both genuinely like wrestling, and I think that comes through
Speaker 3: every single week. I've been asked to give negative takes
Speaker 3: when I've done other podcasts, and I've been hard pressed
Speaker 3: to do it because it's just not it's not really
Speaker 3: a part of my nature. And to know Jeff at
Speaker 3: all is to know he just wants everybody to laugh
Speaker 3: and get along. So Hayten's not big on his nature either.
Speaker 3: He'll find a way, he'll find a reason to love
Speaker 3: anybody absolutely, Ladies and gentlemen. That was the voicemail on
Speaker 3: sanctioned Thursday episode. It's all about you, for you, by you,
Speaker 3: the people, and that's what we are. We're men of
Speaker 3: the people, mister Jeff I, mister Freddie Prinz, and we
Speaker 3: will see you guys soon every Wednesday and every Thursday
Speaker 3: right here on Wrestling with Right.
