15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: This is Freddie. I'm here with my most awesome co host,

16
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: Mr Jeff Dye. How are you, sir? Feeling good? Buddy?

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I will say, it's just nice to have bray Wyatt back.

18
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: That's why I'm in good spirits. Yeah, it is nice

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: to have bray Wyatt back. Let's start with Monday Night Raw,

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: or as I like to call it, the Sammy Zane Show,

21
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: and uh, the show, well it is. The show opened

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: with the Bloodline, which consists of the world champion Roman Reigns.

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: Was very handsome, very masculine, his two cousins, the twins

24
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy and jay Usso, the tag team champions. These men

25
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: are just covered in championship belts all over the place.

26
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: They're they're wise man, They're Shaman Paul Hayman and Freddy's

27
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: favorite wrestler in the world, Mr Sammy Zane, the Honorable

28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: And they came out to the ring and Roman Reigns

29
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: began to cut a promo and he was about to

30
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: talk some smack on one of his cousins, j Usso,

31
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: and Sammy stepped in and interrupted and said, let me

32
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: take care of this situation for you, which basically meant,

33
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: let me save this segment, let me save this promo.

34
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: The crowd went crazy and he started speaking to jay Usso.

35
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: This to me is still the best storyline in w

36
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: w E right now, Not so much the Bloodline, just

37
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: this issue that Sammy and jay Usso have I think

38
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: they've done this beautifully. J hate Sammy. He does not

39
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: trust Sammy. Sammy always plays the good guy, always turns

40
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: the other cheek, even when he's not turning the other cheek,

41
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: even when he's crapping on j Um. He created his

42
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: own new word. He said, you gotta be cool Ja,

43
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: you gotta be chill you. You're not being very us

44
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: and it even made even made his brother kind of

45
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: pop and laugh out of character when he said it.

46
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: In the crowd pop for it as well. Um, this

47
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: segment was interrupted by Matt Riddle, and his energy and

48
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: the energy of the Bloodline are very, very different, so

49
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: it took me out of the segment a little bit,

50
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: even though I like Matt Riddle a lot, but he

51
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: basically tried to get Roman to give him a match. Roman,

52
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: even though every one loves him, now did the heel

53
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: champion move and said, no, never again. You're going to

54
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: the back of the line, but you can wrestle, and

55
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: the whole crowd starts going Sammy Sammy because nobody cares

56
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: about anyone in the Bloodline except Sammy Zane, and we

57
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: get to have a main event match of Matt Riddle

58
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: versus Sammy Zane. Um, how did you feel about the

59
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: opening of Monday Night Raw, the beginning of the wrestling week.

60
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: Did you like the segment? Was it bliss? What do

61
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: you think? I loved it, And I think it's I

62
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: don't know why. I like, there's no reasons I should

63
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: like this bloodline and the big stable of guy. I

64
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: just love it. I think it's so great. I think

65
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: it's so fun. I could they could run with this forever,

66
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: and I feel like I'd be on board. It just

67
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: feels cool to have this big, like family style gang,

68
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: if you will. And then also Sammy's ane is kind

69
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 1: of interrupting the chemistry between I just I think it's perfect.

70
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: I think it's great. And also like I feel like

71
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: if I was triple a tre Vince McMahon or a

72
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: writer like i'd make it. I wouldn't be clever enough

73
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: to already be planting the the disagreements in the in

74
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: the group the way that Sammy's ane is, you know,

75
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: fighting with whatever. I wouldn't have been. I wouldn't have

76
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: been clever enough to make that. There's already like some

77
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: cracks in the in the cornerstone. So I love it.

78
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: I think it's great. It was a great opening, very

79
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: very entertaining. The reddle thing was strange choice, but also

80
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: I liked it. It was cool. Yeah, man, they what

81
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: they've managed to do with this? And I thought, because

82
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: normally w w E either runs things way too long

83
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: or they cut off way too quickly, And I thought

84
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: this was going to turn into Sammy and and Kevin

85
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: Owens versus Jimmy and Jay for the Tag Team Championships

86
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: and then eventually taking Kevin towards Roman for the World Championship.

87
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they even need to do that now.

88
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: Sammy's ane, I know. All I do is is bring

89
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: rays of sunshine and blow smoke up this guy's ass.

90
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: But he is become so good on the mic. Maybe

91
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: he always has been and just didn't have the opportunity

92
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: or or wasn't packaged the right way, but he has

93
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: the crowd in the palm of his hand. No one

94
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: seems to have any real issue with him. Jay's issue

95
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: is obviously a storyline issue, so he has to be

96
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: acting right backstage or this would get smashed as well.

97
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: But this guy is on another level right now and

98
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: everything he's doing has just been perfect. I love the

99
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: relationship with him and Jay, I of how much they

100
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: hate each other. This storyline just or our listeners who

101
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: might not watch every episode. He wrestled Matt Riddle at

102
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: the end of Monday Night Raw, and he received no help,

103
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: not from Solo, not from who we forgot to mention,

104
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: not from Jimmy, not from j J even stopped Jimmy

105
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: from helping him out. They go, Matt Riddle and Sammy

106
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: Zane were fighting outside the ring. Riddles looking over his shoulder,

107
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy USO is about to bust his ass and J's like, no, man,

108
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: let him do it, Like let him. He's in this alone,

109
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: and Riddles like, yeah, all right, kick Sammy Zane in

110
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: the chest like ten times in a row. And this

111
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: storyline carried all the way over into Friday Night SmackDown,

112
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: which is also known as the Sammy Zane Show. And

113
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: Sammy had to wrestle Yeah it is, and Sammy had

114
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: to wrestle Kofi Kingston. And in this story the match

115
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: they were telling it went back and forth or Sammy

116
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: Zane was dropping these elbows from the top rope when

117
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: they were fighting on his elbows looked so clean and crisp.

118
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: He saved a crazy spot where Kofi jumped off and

119
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: looked like Kofi was gonna break his neck, Sammy saved

120
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: his life and turned it into a pin and this time, J,

121
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: who hates Sammy, actually helps Sammy get the victory in this.

122
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: He does some shady stuff and it turns into a

123
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: roll up and Sammy gets the wind and gives J

124
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: no credit whatsoever, and somehow we're all okay with it.

125
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: And even Solo was like, no, man, I'm learning from Sammy.

126
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Like J has been put on this island and he's

127
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: the only one that sees the truth. Right. Yeah, they're

128
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: crushing it, and I just I love that, Like you said,

129
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: he's doomed to see the truth and nobody blieves in whatever.

130
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: But that also means that your boys, Sammy Zane is

131
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: somehow the impostor that that will be that will be

132
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: revealed one day, and the way they built it up,

133
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a beautiful fall from grace. Man. I

134
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: can't wait till they turn him out. And it's just

135
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: for freaking Samoan's just beating up saying until Kevin Owens

136
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: comes out and saves his life and then maybe Roman

137
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: and Kevin can can go off to the races. But

138
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: I feel like that's forever away, like they can wait

139
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: as long as they want because they've just they've built

140
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: this amazing story. I genuinely feel bad for Jay and

141
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: it's a completely fictional story, and I'm like, man, it's

142
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: poor guy. Nobody nobody listens to a word he says.

143
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: Now even his brother and his his brothers aren't listening.

144
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: Roman doesn't care. Jay's looking at Roman like, cause, are

145
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: you playing with me right now? Are you messing with

146
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: me right now? And Romans just like nah, Man, that's

147
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna move us on to another storyline that I think

148
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: they've done a really good job with and they've bled

149
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: it into other stories now, which is the Judgment Day

150
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: and Raymie Steadio. Ray had a match with Chad Gable.

151
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: The Judgment Day comes out and interrupts and they bring

152
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: in Dominic after the match and he gets in the

153
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: ring and he challenges his father to a fight. Now,

154
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: this isn't like an on microphone promo. They protect Dominic.

155
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: He's just right in his dad's face. Their head head

156
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: to head almost like a head butt, where he's like

157
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: fighting me, hit me do something. And he even slaps

158
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: his father across the face and Ray put his hands

159
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: behind his back, which since you don't have a microphone

160
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: to tell this story, you have to tell it with

161
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: body language, just saying there's no way in hell I'm

162
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: gonna lay a hand on you. I'm just not gonna

163
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: do this, and it turns into a brutal beat down,

164
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: which leads to A J Styles coming out and Finn

165
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: Balor and a J who we've discussed have a have

166
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: a rich history going all the way back to New

167
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: Japan Pro Wrestling, and he's saying, like the same thing

168
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: he's been saying, like I'm running out of patients. You

169
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: better smarten up, and a J says, you know, I

170
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: have to have people I can trust. I have to

171
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: have family, and Finn Balor's like, yeah, all right, all right,

172
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: and then it's not that family because it was the

173
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: return of the Good Brothers and I actually no one

174
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: of them. I never met Karl Anderson, but I know

175
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Festus or as they call him, Luke Gallows. When I

176
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: worked there. He was this mindless, voiceless beast named Festus,

177
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: and when you'd ring the bell, he turned into a monster,

178
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: and if you rang the bell again, he became very

179
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: docile and withdrool, which was not a long serving gimmick,

180
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: but he did well with it. Just to say, how

181
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: did how did you like this segment? Because it bled

182
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: into two different segments within the show. Did you dig it?

183
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Are you? Were you not connecting with it? What's your take? Sir?

184
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: I like it. I'm very happy about it because I

185
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: know how much wrestling fans love the Good Brothers. I

186
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: feel like wrestling fans are in general, they're very um

187
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: in agreement about most things. Like I feel like like

188
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: the consensus of the wrestling communities, like we love Bullet Club,

189
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: we love there. There's very much things that they all

190
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: can agree on its cons and everybody loves Good Brothers.

191
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: I'm not crazy about them. I've never been crazy about them,

192
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: but because of like how much wrestling fans love them,

193
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: the second that came out, I was like, all right,

194
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm happy because I feel like it made everyone else happy.

195
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: These guys got screwed bad by the previous regime at

196
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: w w E and we're asked, you know, sit tight,

197
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna take care of you guys. We're gonna give

198
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: you that sweet contract, and then they were just released

199
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: and felt very lied to, and that's not inside stuff,

200
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: I think. Carl or Or or Luke, one of them

201
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: actually spoke about it. My buddy actually gave him the name.

202
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: Luke Gallo's the guy that joined their company with me

203
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: when I when I started there. Yeah, but yeah, man,

204
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: this was this was nice. I don't know how far

205
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: this storyline can go. I think it'll just set up

206
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: for a nice pay per view match and uh and

207
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: get everyone a check. But they floated around for a

208
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: little bit after that contract was kind of pulled out

209
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: from under them, and I think this is Triple H

210
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: making things right. He's very pro talent. He's pro show

211
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: as well, pro corporate as well. But he's very pro talent.

212
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: He always was if he likes you, and I believe

213
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: he always will be. So I think this was more

214
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: we're going to do right by these guys because we

215
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: did wrong by them the last time. So I felt

216
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: the way you did in that regard. When I saw

217
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: him come out, I was like, oh man, he did right.

218
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Like they got screwed bad financially like bad, And that's

219
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: happened to me on where it's like, yo, this movie

220
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: is yours were signing the contract, I'm like, yeah, right on,

221
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they're like, yeah, this other

222
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: actor that we like more of the past the first

223
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: time I's going to do it. And you're just sitting

224
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: there with your dick in your head, like, hold on

225
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: what I just gave up this, that, and this to

226
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: come and and and do this movie for you, And

227
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: now that's gone And I lost the other jobs that

228
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: I passed on. What the hell I just had? That

229
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: happened to me too. It's the worst. It's canceled a

230
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: bunch of dates for a show. I'm already spending the

231
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: money that the contract was gonna be for, like I'm

232
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: already mentally gone, I'm gonna buy this. I'm gonna buy it.

233
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: And they go, we're not doing it. I already mean,

234
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: we're not doing it, and I gotta call it. All

235
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: the gigs that I canceled and they go, we already

236
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: filled those, man. I was like, dang it, like I

237
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: just lost Everything's funny to say that. It's really hard, man.

238
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: My uncle used to always tell me. And my uncle

239
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: was Richard Pryor's manager. He was my father's manager. He

240
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: was George Lopez's manager, He's Fluffy's manager. He's always worked

241
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: with comics and a lot of musicians. He was Prince's

242
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: manager back in the day, Like he knows the business

243
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: and he always said he's got this great voice, Freddie,

244
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: it's show business, which words bigger, and that hits hard

245
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: when you've had bad business done on you. When you're

246
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: when you're eighteen and saying hey, I'm gonna act, and

247
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: he's trying to teach, I'm like, yeah, yeah, of course,

248
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: business is the longer word. I know how many letters

249
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: are in business compared to show But when you get

250
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: screwed man, and I don't want to name any names,

251
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: but oh my god, it's the reason why I've never

252
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: had a good relationship with a producer because I don't

253
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: trust him. Until this last movie I just did Man,

254
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: where it was like, Wow, this is a guy that

255
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: I could actually be friends with. This is a guy

256
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: that I think I could develop like a brotherhood with.

257
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: And I've never felt that in twenty plus years in

258
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: this business because of stuff like that. When they go, hey, man,

259
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: it's business, it's not personal. I was like, I'm taking

260
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: it pretty personal. I don't know if like I'm taking

261
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: all this pretty personal. My whole you you told me

262
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: to personally trust you, and then you screwed me over.

263
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: So it's a personal It just happened to be my

264
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: business that got screwed up. Your business seems fine? Why yeah,

265
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: why wouldn't I take this personally? So how I eat?

266
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: And so how I there have a roof over my head?

267
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: Well we'll do a side quester real quick. I met

268
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: with this director that I like very much. I like

269
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: the stuff he's done. I like the performances he's got

270
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: out of guys. And we sat down and and spoke

271
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: about this movie I was gonna do. And uh, He's like, man,

272
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna offer it to you and da da da

273
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: da da, and they've got X amount of money and

274
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: they came at me with this offer that was like

275
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: insanely low. And I talked to the director. I said, listen, man,

276
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: they either already spent all the money on all the

277
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: other actors or they don't value me the way you'll

278
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: me and and they're just trying to do bad business.

279
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: And I don't like throwing numbers out there, but I'm

280
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: I'll throw numbers out there. You can look this up.

281
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: It was basically scale plus, not scale ten, which would

282
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: have been worse obviously, but scale. And he was like,

283
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: what there's no way I'm gonna at the money. And

284
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want to say the director's name,

285
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: but I was, I said brother. I didn't call him brother.

286
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: I called him by his name, but we're calling him brother,

287
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: I said, brother. They negotiated themselves out of any deal

288
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: that we could ever have. Like, now I'm gonna say

289
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: my counter and this number I'll throw out, which was

290
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: ridiculous because it was a smaller role. I said, then

291
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: I want a million dollars if that's what you're gonna

292
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: offer me, just so you know how ridiculous you're I'm

293
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna highball for this brother. Yeah, Like I want more

294
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: than the lead of the film, basically, And I don't

295
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: want to work for people like that, Like, I only

296
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: want to work where I'm respected. At this point in

297
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: my career, when you're on your way up, you gotta

298
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: eat some ship. Man. It's tough, but yeah, it's big.

299
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: Show businesses is tough because you gotta remember, at the

300
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: end of the day, all they care about is making money.

301
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: I've never seen a producer take a pay cut in

302
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: their life, but they constantly asked the talent to whether

303
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: it's the director, the writer, the actors, the composer, the

304
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: bands that they're trying to get music from. All the

305
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: artists are asked to take pay cuts. I've never seen

306
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: a producer take a pay cut in my life. So

307
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: when the Good Brothers got done like that, it was

308
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: just a corporate jerk off move man, and I hate

309
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: it when that happens. And I'm glad to see them back,

310
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: and I hope they got their money. That was a

311
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: long time to talk about the Good Brothers, man, We

312
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: just people love the Good Brothers. Yeah, um, well, let's

313
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: move on. It was the return the twenty five year

314
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: anniversary of d X minus Billy Gunn, who's in a

315
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: e W. For those who don't know, d X was

316
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: Triple h Xbox, Shawn Michael's China Road Dog and Billy Gunn.

317
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: And this was a very anti establishment. This happened during

318
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: the attitude era of of w W E, which I've

319
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: I've never been a big fan of. The matches were great,

320
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: but I always I never liked any of the storylines. Really,

321
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: I actually liked this because even though it was in

322
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: the main event spot, which should be a match, it

323
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: was eight minutes and they they had still made the

324
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: show about everyone else. They built up to to this moment,

325
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: but they only stole eight minutes, which I thought was respectful.

326
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: I know other people are like, well, you know, there

327
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: should have been some young people that they tried to

328
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: get over, and yeah, you're those opinions I would agree with.

329
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: But eight minutes on a three hour show, it was fine, man,

330
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: and everyone got their little shout out and felt good.

331
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: I was never, like I said, I was never big

332
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: into d X or the attitude are so it was

333
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: it was fine for me. But but yeah, man, shout out,

334
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: twenty five years of d X and now the anti

335
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: establishment dudes Sean Michael's and Triple H are the establishment.

336
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: They literally spray painted d X on the corporate building

337
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: and now they are the corporate building. So I thought

338
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: that was a nice, unintentional twenty five years storyline. I

339
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: to quote a YouTube video they love called wrestling Isn't Wrestling? Uh?

340
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: It was. It was as simple as us as teenage

341
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: boys going, They're talking about Wieners on TV. They're saying,

342
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: suck it on TV? How do I get a suck

343
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 1: It T shirt? You know? Like it was it's literally

344
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: like they were able to become the they kind of

345
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: were the attitude era in a way like like like, Oh,

346
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to say what we shouldn't say,

347
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do all these you know, naughty things

348
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: and so um yeah. So like they were. They were

349
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: the if you're my age. They were a perfect chapter

350
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: of your of your life d X, so shout out.

351
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: I loved it. Let's move on to a b W.

352
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: There wasn't much that I that I really enjoyed here.

353
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: I like m JF kind of clowning stokely half away

354
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: in the backstage interview. That was an issue that I

355
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: had when they all came in the ring after m

356
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: JF and Wheeler, you his match that I had mentioned,

357
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know why that happened. I didn't think it

358
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: made m JF look great. I don't think m JF

359
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: can get every single person in the company over in

360
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: a single segment, which it seems like they're trying to

361
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: make him do. That's just an impossible task, even for

362
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: someone as great as him. Very obvious that that's what

363
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: they're doing. That's why it's so strange to me. It's tough, man.

364
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: It's like when you know you have the golden goose,

365
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: it's like, well, get get all these other geese over,

366
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, this one's made out of gold man.

367
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: The rest just can't make them all special. Yeah, so

368
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: I was glad to see him clean that up a

369
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: little bit. But the segment I did want to talk

370
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: about was the A e W Champion John Moxley and

371
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: Adam Hangman Page. John Moxley, to me, is a werewolf

372
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: in the ring. He wrestles like a werewolf. He he

373
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: talks like a ware wolf, like the way Jack Nicholson

374
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: was was in that movie Wolf where it's just like

375
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: very much everything is here, you know, and sometimes I

376
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: like it, sometimes I don't. But he came out and

377
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: he was really honest and really clean, and I believed

378
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: everything he said. And then here comes Hangman Page, who

379
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: I just I've never gotten. This was for those who

380
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: don't know, this was the guy who had that promo

381
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: segment with CM Punk where everybody said he went into

382
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: business for himself and sort of lay off script and

383
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: started talking trash and taking care of himself and nobody

384
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: else and really trying to bury see him Punk on

385
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: some on some real ship. He's also been quoted as

386
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: saying he doesn't take advice. He doesn't need advice, so

387
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to give him any because he doesn't

388
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: want it. But this dude's got to help himself. Man,

389
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: you can't be making these mistakes on National TV. He's

390
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: literally in his chin out and saying, you know, you

391
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: think I'm a kid? You just think I'm a kid.

392
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: What do you think John Moxley is gonna say? Do

393
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna make you look good in this moment?

394
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Or do you think he's gonna say, yes, I do,

395
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: I think you're a kid. I've never seen John Moxley

396
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 1: so calm and sedated in a promo before, while this

397
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: other guy just kind of went bananas and was punching

398
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: himself in the face and and then got calm again

399
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: after that. That probably should have been the end of that.

400
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: That bids him going nuts, But he sets himself up

401
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: for disaster every time he does a promo. He literally

402
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: is asking you a question where you have the opportunity

403
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: to bury him or put him over. And in this situation,

404
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: what else can Moxley do? Like? I just don't I

405
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: don't understand it. I wish he would ask for advice.

406
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: I wish he would let someone write for him. I

407
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: wish he would take advice if it's being given to him,

408
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: because he can wrestle his That buckshot l area looks

409
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: dope as hell. Man, it's one of my favorite moves.

410
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: When he does it, he literally, for those who don't know,

411
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: he stands outside the ring, grabs the top rope, does

412
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: a forward handspring over the top rope and launches into

413
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: this clothesline lariat that just knocks people off their feet,

414
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 1: no matter how big or strong they are, and it

415
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: looks awesome. But when he opens his mouth and starts talking,

416
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: he comes off way inexperienced. I know he said he's

417
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: like thirty years old and has kids and all this stuff,

418
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: but I've never been moved by an Adam Hangman page promo.

419
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: I like his work in the Ring. I think it's

420
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: super clean. I think his matches are are fun to

421
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: watch most of the time. But he just keeps playing himself,

422
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know why. I don't know how it

423
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: keeps happening over and over again. Also in this era,

424
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: like maybe I'm you can tell me if you disagree,

425
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: but right now in a w if you're gonna talk

426
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: in that ring, it better be real good, like like

427
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: right now, like we're kidding some of the best promos

428
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: like between the even even when Punk was there, Like

429
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: he's so good on the mic, Moxley, I think it

430
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: is great on the mic. You got um you know

431
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: m JF Like it better be really good if you're

432
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 1: trying to have like a moment, you know, like and

433
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: so he just he just he seems boring when he talks.

434
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm just going, what is this? Is he crazy guy?

435
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: Is he calm guy? Like? Is he cool guy? Is

436
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: he tough guy? Like? I don't know. I just tell him.

437
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: He's all over the place. He seems like a spas guy.

438
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: It's very strange. Man. If the if the person across

439
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: from you, this is like an old acting tip, right,

440
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: If the person across from you is very big and

441
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: over the top, it's your responsibility as an actor to

442
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: get smaller and calmer to kind of balance the scene, right,

443
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: which is what Moxley did in this case. But this

444
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: kid comes in and I just don't I can't call

445
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: him well, I can call him a kid because he

446
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 1: he asked what I thought, and what Moxley thought, and

447
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: what all these people thought. You think I'm a kid.

448
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: These promos come off the way a kid would cut

449
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: a promo, and it doesn't seem tough. It doesn't seem

450
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: like cowboys shit, which is his whole gimmick. That's his catchphrase.

451
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: Nothing about it has ever made me go yeah, hell yeah,

452
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: even when he was up in Punk's face, like Punk

453
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: was still the superior one. So if if you're in there,

454
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: you have to acknowledge to yourself in your own mind,

455
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: this dude or this chick is better on the mic

456
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 1: than I am, so less is more. So let me

457
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: say what I need to say and then physically I

458
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: can do something. But if he's gonna continue to try

459
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: and out talk these guys that are straight wizards on

460
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: the mic, he's gonna fail and he's gonna fall flat

461
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: every single time. If it was somebody with less experience

462
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: that's not that good, then maybe that promo plays better.

463
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: But when you're going up there with somebody who has

464
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: more experience and has a cleaner promo than you and

465
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: you try to outdo him, you're gonna fall flat on

466
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: your face. Man. But that's honestly, Jeff, That's all I

467
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: have to say about a w this week. I didn't

468
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: think they put much out there. Man, let's move on

469
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: to Let's move on to Friday Night SmackDown there, and

470
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: before we touch on Brey, we're gonna get to my

471
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: best of the week. But once again the Sammy Zane

472
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Show in full effect. Kofe Kingston, I already got into it.

473
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: I do want to say one thing. Xavier Woods was

474
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: out there with Kokee Kingston the same way that us

475
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: or j Uso was out there with Sammy Zane, and

476
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: j Uso hit one of the most beautiful superkicks outside

477
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: the ring on Xavier Woods that I've seen in ten years.

478
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: It was so crisp, so clean. I didn't even see

479
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: the legs slap until they did the the replay in

480
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: slow motion and they're like, well, show you the legs

481
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: slap now. It's like, no, why you didn't win on

482
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: the clean shot when I couldn't see. Why wouldn't you

483
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: just show that one again in slow motion? Like no,

484
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: we just want to make sure you know it's fake.

485
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: So we're gonna cut to this angle and show the

486
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: legs slab, which is so stupid, but whatever. Um it

487
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: was such a beautiful superkick that I jumped up and

488
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: just wait oh shit. I thought it was awesome. But

489
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: moving on, l a Night is back. This is my

490
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: best of the week. It wasn't the best match, it

491
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: wasn't the best promo. I was just so happy to

492
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: see all that crappy gone. I like seeing him beat

493
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: the crap out of Mansor. I like that it wasn't

494
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: a long match. I didn't even think Mansor should have

495
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: gotten in the moves that he got in. I would

496
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: have rather just seen a straight squash match. And then

497
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: he talked some ship instead of letting you cheer for him.

498
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: He called everyone in the crowd a bunch of in cells,

499
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: which is the most beautiful insult a good looking man

500
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: can give to not so good looking man. When I

501
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: was such a modern term, you know, like no no,

502
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: no heels ever got to say that to a crowd perfect. Ever,

503
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: it was such a dick move. I thought it was beautiful.

504
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: It played perfect. I like the out of breath post

505
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: match promos. I always have I think you, I've always

506
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: believed do you think less? You're less in your head

507
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: when you're when you've just worked and the cardio is

508
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: there and you're kind of breathing heavy. Here's the thing

509
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: full full disclosure. Being honest, Jeff, I didn't. I don't

510
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: know anything about l A Night. So when he came back,

511
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: I was kind of just sitting there going and then

512
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: my my phone starts blown up like l A Night.

513
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: Everyone's like all excited about it, but I don't know

514
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: much about this guy. He looks great, he looks cool,

515
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: but I don't really know nothing. It was an n

516
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: w A guy for a while, right. He was like,

517
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: he's been in a bunch of indies. He's been in

518
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: indies all over the place. But his n x T

519
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: run was very short lived. But it was clean man like.

520
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: Everybody loved that character. It was very stone cold. Steve

521
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: austin ish in sort of like a modern version of it.

522
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: He's a good looking dude. He can talk, he can wrestle.

523
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: He can't take his shirt off because he's too buff.

524
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: I wish I had that problem. I'm gonna start buying

525
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: extra small shirts and jackets and vests for press events

526
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: just so I look super jack whatever. I don't know,

527
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: I want to look good. Let's move on to the

528
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: final segment of the night, which I thought, well, well,

529
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: I hoped it would be better, but I still thought

530
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: it was Okay, Bray Wyatt for the first time in

531
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: two years. I was going to speak, and he was

532
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: back in the w w E, his home where he belongs.

533
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: Although I would have loved to have worked with him,

534
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: he showed a lot of raw emotion. I will say,

535
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: your entrance should never be longer than your promo. Bro.

536
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: There was out five minute entrance for a four minute promo.

537
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, But he put his heart and

538
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: soul out there, and he talked about something real that

539
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: I think people should be discussing, which is self worth.

540
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: So this promo I thought had a chance to resonate

541
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: really really well, and I would have loved to see

542
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: how it finished. But they cut to this weird video

543
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: which was some ghostly masked figure who I guess is

544
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna challenge Bray. I didn't quite understand what what the

545
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: message of it was, but it's a promise they have

546
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: to keep now, and I just don't know who they

547
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: have on the roster that's gonna fulfill that. I would

548
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: have rather seen Bray call someone out then have someone

549
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: randomly call him out. And so it ended very straight.

550
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: It ended the show like it just cut away. It

551
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: went to black You didn't even get to see Bray's reaction,

552
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: which I felt was much more important. What did you

553
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: what did you think? This was actually my best of

554
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: the week, because um one, I just love bray Wide

555
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: and I think he can do no wrong. He I

556
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: feel like he could do something that everybody in the

557
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: world will go that's trash, and I'd be like Bray,

558
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: like I hang on everything that bray Wyde does. I'm

559
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: just so I'm so obsessed with them that you won't

560
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: hear me criticize much about him. But the spooky video

561
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: right that they that ended the thing that faded black,

562
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: at least it left with a bunch of question marks

563
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: where we can go where I was like, oh, I'm

564
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 1: excited to talk to Alex Sanfreddi about this, Like like

565
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: I think when you get at least resting fans going

566
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: what was that? Or what's going on? And Braise the

567
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: master of question marks, Like he's the master of leaving

568
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: us going what's what's he doing? Or like what's this

569
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: promo mean? Or what's that lantern about? Or what's the

570
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: you know when he came out with like the the

571
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: his own head like on a lantern with the open

572
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: mouth and like you're just always doing weird things where

573
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm going, what is happening? So this is kind of

574
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: a fun thing. Um that left us with question marks,

575
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: even though I wasn't crazy about the video because I

576
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: agree with what you just said. I didn't think that

577
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: until you just said it. But he should be calling

578
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: someone out. They shouldn't be calling him out, So I

579
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: do agree with that. But other than that, it did

580
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: leave us with like a bunch of like, what the

581
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: hell is going on in wrestling right now? So I

582
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 1: like that, So, so who do you think it is?

583
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: It can't be Bo, it can't be his brother, or

584
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: people are gonna crap all over it the second. If

585
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: that's their plan, they need to reverse course in me

586
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: de ittly, because it can't be Bow. He hasn't been

587
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: packaged properly to be that mighty of a challenge. There

588
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: was a bunch of like white rabbit stuff, like when

589
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: when everyone's going who is the white rabbit or whatever?

590
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: I was watching all these like YouTube videos of like

591
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: there's some rest of that actually used the name white rabbit.

592
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: There was, and I was thinking, oh, maybe maybe this

593
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: could be one of those guys. I don't know, it

594
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: would be great of his brother. I'd like it of

595
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: his bow. I wouldn't be mad at I wouldn't be

596
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: mad about it, I guess. But man, a lot of

597
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: people are going to have the job to Bow in

598
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: order to make that believable. You can't just give him

599
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: Bray right away and then just say, look at look

600
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: at this challenge. At least not may I mean maybe

601
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: they maybe they have some great new idea that I

602
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: don't know and can make that work. I like Bow Dallas,

603
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: and I like the potential in him, but the way

604
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: he's been packaged, I just don't. I just don't see

605
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: how that's a a credible threat to the insanely credible

606
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: threat that Bray has always been. But I will say this,

607
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: he got choked up out there. He was telling the

608
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: crowd they saved his life. He said things like, I

609
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: thought everything I had done in this business didn't mean

610
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: anything until I was gone, and you wouldn't let it

611
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: go away. You wouldn't let me leave. The words you

612
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: said to me meant so much. I thought. He you know,

613
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: you could tell nobody wrote it. That was all just

614
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: from his heart. I just wish they would have let

615
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 1: him go another three minutes or so also, is there

616
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: any better actor Has there ever been a better actor

617
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: in wrestling than Bray Wyatt? Wow, he's so good, dude.

618
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: Well let's well, let's close with that because like not

619
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: see him Punk, because see him Punk was never acting,

620
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: he was just playing himself. You could argue, Sina because

621
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: I feel the White Rapper is more John Cena than

622
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: the marine version, the made man version of John Cena.

623
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: But it felt like the same promo every week. So

624
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: probably not him, not Hunter, because he just did his

625
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: own He just played himself and always just you know,

626
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: would break all the rules and not let the other

627
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: rest their break. Any Oh, well, what about man kind?

628
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean he did he did three different characters, even

629
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: his early promos when he's sitting in the chair and

630
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: he's like he's and also it's almost seems like when

631
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: you write like a character or when you write like

632
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: a movie, like how you want all the storylines to

633
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: eventually Like it's almost like he had today bray White

634
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: in mind when he does promos back then, because like

635
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: he'll reference things, there's things you can go back and find.

636
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: He go, he's he's he's saying stuff that he's saying now,

637
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: like even in his old like character stuff is He's amazing.

638
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,520
