1 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Are you ready, it's about to hit 2 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: the fan. Welcome to on Sanction Thursdays Wrestling with Fready Well, sir, 3 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: it's time for some bonus content. On Wednesday's episode, we 4 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: talked about the importance of writing and then we even 5 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: got into some acting, and I feel like we could 6 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: have done a whole episode just on the acting. We 7 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: had to cut some of that short. And like you said, 8 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: more women are starting to get into it. Actors are 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: acting all over the place. We're podcasting about it. Mister Jeff, 10 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to bonus content. How are you, sir? Feeling good? 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: Feeling right? 12 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: Excited to talk to you and all the federation, the. 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: Friend of ration Federation. Yeah, I get a few little 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: terms for it, that's right. We got all kinds of nicknames. 15 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: We were talking about wrestlers that can act. I think 16 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: you're right with Rohnda and Hulk. They're not actors, so 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: I can't put either one on the list. They're just 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: kind of them and are hired because of them and 19 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: what they are, not what they would bring to the 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: table as far as delivering lines and things like that. 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: So maybe I was a bit unfair and the Andre 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: the giant one. I think I have to move way 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: up because he's so tender and sweet in The Princess 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: Bride and just kills that so much. And I know 25 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: from like interviews and stuff and documentaries that he was 26 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: in a lot of pain during that and coming off 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: charming and acting while you're in constant pain is borderline impossible. 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: When I was before I had my spine surgery, my 29 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: wife would damn near about to leave my ass. I 30 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: was such an angry prick all the time. I can't 31 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: imagine having to act with that as well. I think 32 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: I have to move him higher up the list. And 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: I will say this, when Alexa Bliss books a role 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: in something, she's going to do well with it because 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: she's one of the stronger actors. With all that crazy 36 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: circus stuff they made her do, even after Bray left, 37 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: she was able to commit and even if you didn't 38 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: like it, her acting was still clear and honest and 39 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: you could tell that she put in the work. So 40 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: that's another one I wanted to throw in there. 41 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: Any others you think we might have missed, No, but 42 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: I do think that we've talked about it briefly before, 43 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: and it's hard and now this is a reach. That's 44 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 2: why I'm doing it. Last is that bray Wyatt I 45 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 2: think might be the best actor in wrestling. He just 46 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: hasn't been like in movies. So it's like I think 47 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: I could see him. 48 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: I could see him in movies without being the gimmick, 49 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: right Like Jesse the Body Venture is another one we forgot. 50 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: But Jesse is Jesse, whether he's Captain Freedom in The 51 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: Running Man or whether he's was his name in Predator 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: Blaine Blaine. I don't know what his name was, but 53 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: he was awesome in Predator Blaine. I think it was Blaine. 54 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: I got that right, I'm awesome. But he was Jesse 55 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: the Body of Venture. He didn't have any range, he 56 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: didn't do anything that you saw Differently. Batista, I'm telling you, 57 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: is the sleeper standout from all of them, because I 58 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: don't think anybody thought he was going to be the 59 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: actor he became when he walked away from professional wrestling. 60 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: I think people thought he would just be a bond villain, 61 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: which he was, and that would be as far as 62 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: it goes. And instead he's just like, Nope, I'm never 63 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: going to show you the same thing twice, and I'm 64 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: gonna keep getting better. You can tell he's an artist 65 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: and he's hungry to learn. He's hungry to get better. 66 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: I know him a little bit, but my wife met 67 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: him on this like European tour and she was like 68 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: he was the nicest, most professional dude, Like she just 69 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: she loved him. He's gonna be struck on. 70 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: He's gonna be stuck on a tough spot too, where 71 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 2: he's kind of like the Rock, where like every role 72 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to justify his size, like like what 73 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: is this guy? You know? 74 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: But he has lost a lot of weight, Like he 75 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: has lost a lot, and they show the Rock in 76 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: every role. 77 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: It's like, well, almost every role he plays an ex 78 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: football player, he's a scorpion king, or he's a military guy. 79 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: The only one that didn't make sense was in Rampage, 80 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: he plays like a scientist, Like what is this scientist 81 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: working out four times a day? 82 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: Like like how yeah that was like when Denise Richards 83 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: was a scientist and a James Bond movie and you're like, 84 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: hold up, man, yeah, maybe scientist. 85 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: I could foresee Bautista having to do that same thing. 86 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: In the Knock of the Cabin, they made him like 87 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: a he's a he's a gym teacher, and so that 88 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: you know, that's why he's all jacked. 89 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: But my gym teacher was a woman that looked like 90 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: a man. She looked a lot like so she did. Man. 91 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: Her name was Miss Forrester. We were scared of her. Man. 92 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: She was mean, angry, She kind of had growth on 93 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: her face that she wouldn't last like. She just wore it. 94 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,559 Speaker 1: She wore it defiantly, and she was she really liked running. 95 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: So she made us run, boy, and we hated it. Yeah, Forester, 96 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: Miss Forrester, daughter of Bautista, maybe the mother of Batista. 97 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: I don't know she was.

Fuck you. I 122 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: said it more politely than that, but I was pissed. 123 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: It's still I was still mad in my twenties about it. 124 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: Shure me so much. 125 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: I still hold on to my worst teacher. My worst 126 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: teacher's lady made Miss Noreen and I got any interesting 127 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: stories about her. She was just real mean to me 128 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 2: all the time, didn't like anything I was doing. She 129 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 2: was very bullysh I hated it. 130 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough in my career to get a 131 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: writing job with the WWE under weird random circumstances, but 132 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: I was very excited to go there. And it took 133 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: me a while to figure to figure out how to 134 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: write period for wrestlers because, and I still feel strongly 135 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: to this to this day, if a promo works, then 136 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: all credit is due to the wrestler, and if a 137 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: promo doesn't work, then all blame is on the writer. 138 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: And that may sound hardcore and extreme, but that's just 139 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: the way I feel. Your sole function as a writer 140 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: is to help the wrestler get over. And I screwed 141 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: up a lot in the beginning because I wrote some 142 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: of the best shit I've ever written in my life, 143 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: as far as like a monologue in a script would go. 144 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: Only they call them promos, but if they're not suited 145 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: for the talent, then it's a shit promo. And I 146 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: screwed up. And I failed that dude, or I failed 147 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: that chick, and believe me. I had failures. I had 148 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: promos that I knew were money and they just died 149 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: in the ring. And that's not the talent's fault. I 150 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: just didn't write it for them. I wrote it because 151 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: I just thought it sounded sick, and it was lines 152 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: that I always wanted to say that I wasn't allowed to. 153 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: But I finally got it right when they handed me 154 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: Jeff Hardy and the storyline and the way it came 155 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: about was Michael Hayes, who brought both Hardy boys in. 156 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: He was from the Fabulous Freebirds. He always supported them, 157 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: and I had gotten a little bit of love from 158 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: some other smaller storylines that I had written or taken 159 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: over for other people, like you would get assigned certain promos. 160 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: And I was a better writer than pretty much everyone 161 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: and everyone there because I had more experience writing than 162 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: anyone there minus a couple of dudes whose work I 163 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: respect still to this day. So they were giving me 164 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to like fix it and punch 165 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: it up and things like that. And so Michael said, 166 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: We're going to pitch a story, and I got really 167 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: nervous because I'm not good at booking. And he goes 168 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: I'll book it and you just fill in all the 169 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: blanks with all your monologue bullshit, that's what you called it. 170 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: So I wrote this series of promos for Jeff that 171 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: we stuck into this pitch. 172 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: Right. 173 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: It was like a long form story. And if you 174 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: go on YouTube and take them separately and edit them 175 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: all together, you'll see it all kind of forms one 176 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: long poem, right, but nothing rhymed. But yeah, Jeff Hardy, 177 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: it's all poems metaphore. Yeah. But I loved writing this 178 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: because I had a a lot of freedom. No, Vince 179 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: didn't change It was the only time he didn't change 180 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: anything I wrote. I hated when he would rewrite my 181 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: stuff because it wasn't good. I told him that to 182 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: his face. I would tell him that today and we 183 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: would argue about I go, this is not good, man, Like, 184 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm not very you guys, you're damn right. You're bringing 185 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: that to him, and it's better than that piece of 186 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: shit you wrote. I was like, what am I arguing 187 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: with here? So they gave us a lot of freedom 188 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: with that. And the reason the story worked was because 189 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: of the obstacles that Jeff had to deal with. And 190 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: I think it's the importance of bringing real shit into wrestling. 191 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: I like when wrestlers do it. So long as everyone 192 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 1: is on the same page and okay with it, I 193 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: think those are the best stories or get it as 194 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: close to feeling like real shit. And with Jeff, it 195 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,599 Speaker 1: was he was struggling with drug abuse. I don't know 196 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: if it was alcohol abuse as well, but he dude 197 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: was struggling, and so we just leaned heavy into that. 198 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: We built him up through MVP, and MVP was kind 199 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: enough to end up, you know, doing the job and 200 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: getting Jeff over. But he was the first one that 201 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: started talking about his reckless behavior. Was how he would 202 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: describe it. Each week, Jeff's trailer burned down like in 203 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: an accident, and MVP blamed his ears responsibility and his 204 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: reckless behavior for burning down his own thing and killing 205 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: his dog. His dog actually died, and MVP brought it 206 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: up and he asked if it was okay, and Jeff 207 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: was dope enough that he was like, yeah, man, do 208 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Let's just get this story over, 209 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: and he did it, and the moment they had after 210 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: that was awesome and it had nothing to do with 211 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: my writing. That was just something that the two of them. 212 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: I wasn't. I didn't have the courage to ask Jeff 213 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: an MVP, like the idea, and he said, let me 214 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: talk to him, so he did it. I had nothing 215 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: to do, and they executed it beautifully, and that led 216 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: Jeff to Edge and that was when the obstacle was 217 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: going to be Vicky. It was going to be Edge cheating, 218 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: you know, the babyface has to deal with all these 219 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: these obstacles. And Vince let us draw that story out 220 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: over multiple pay per views. And because of that, the 221 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: story worked. If I had to write that in two weeks, 222 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: you guys, would people would be like that storyline suck man, 223 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: you're the worst writer ever. But because I was given 224 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: time and allowed to kind of do my thing, that's 225 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: the thing people give me love for now. That said, 226 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: I wrote plenty of shit that y'all didn't like. You 227 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: just don't know it because I ain't trying to get 228 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: exposed like that. Talk about the good stuff. 229 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: Well, you must be such a valuable writer to them, 230 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: because you're a writer and you're smart. You know all 231 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: this stuff works. But also you like wrestling. It's not 232 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: like just bringing in someone into that universe that doesn't 233 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: even like or no wrestling. 234 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: Oh bro, they did, and it was so bad. They 235 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: brought in this dude and he wrote a story. He 236 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: was like, we're gonna do like a movie on Monday 237 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: Night Raw and it'll be like who Kidnapped Kelly Kelly? 238 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: And Vinces like, all right, let's try it. And I'm like, 239 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: I put my hand up and I'm like, let's not. 240 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that's a good idea. You 241 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: got a good script here, and I don't think we 242 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: want to try to reinvent the wheel. And this guy 243 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: got mad at me. He was a USA TV writer, 244 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: older guy, and he goes, come on, Freddy, just give 245 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 1: it a chance, and Vince is like, Freddie, give it 246 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: a chance. And then it makes me direct the segments 247 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: that I hate the most. But it was basically Caine 248 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: kidnapped Kelly Kelly and was probably gonna sexually assault her 249 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: again the way they did in that horrible storyline. But 250 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: he kidnaps her and he's got her taped up and 251 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: bound and gagged, and they're trying to find someone was 252 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: dating Kelly Kelly and they're trying to find her and 253 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: rescue her, all while a professional wrestling show is on, 254 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: and there's matches going on, a full it should be 255 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: a full police investigation, not a cop as called. And 256 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: we're supposed to have matches that people believe in, when 257 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: every single promo in between the matches is we're looking 258 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: for Kelly, where could she be? And there's a video 259 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: of King going, oh, you'll never get her. It was 260 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: so shitty and I had to be a part of that, man, 261 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: And they're saying, well, you don't like it, fix it? 262 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, fix it? How do I fix fom it's 263 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: supposed to do and turn that into something edible for 264 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: you to enjoy? Are you talking about? Man? You brought 265 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: the groceries, you cooked the damn food. Oh oh, I 266 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: hated it. But the Jeff Hardy stuff was a ton 267 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: of fun. And again, a cool thing if you guys 268 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: want to, is to string all those promos together and 269 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: you'll kind of see how it doesn't rhyme like Edgar 270 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: Allan Poe or Doctor Seuss. Those are my inspirations when 271 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: I wrote it. I'm not even joking. I love it 272 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: all right, y'all.
