1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: I started planking because I thought I used to love planking.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: It's body weight. That's a good way to dip my

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: toes back into my physical fitness. That then kind of

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: pushed the door open to diet. That then pushed the

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: door open to working out again because the endorphins that dopamine,

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: you're starting to feel like you again, like you talked about,

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: helped with my mental fitness and.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: Now your mate. Events introducing the hosts are Wrestling Within Freddy,

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: Chef Died and for Ready Prince Tune. Ladies and gentlemen,

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: welcome back to a brand new episode of Wrestling with Freddy,

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: Wrestling with Friends today, because we have not one, but

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: two homies. We have with me as always, my co host,

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: mister Jeff Did and our guest who I want to

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: get right into. You've known him by multiple names. I

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: now know him as the Flying Viking. Yah. Mister Adam

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: Copeland has joined the show and it's pleasure to have

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: you here, sir. How you doing well?

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. I'm glad you didn't go

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: down the list of names because I'm sure there's been

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: a lot over the years that might not fly.

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all you know, I I'm playing hurt today

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: and I blew out my back trying to get big

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: and strong like you and all your friends. So I

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: was unable to pick up a piece of equipment that

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: you have helped develop, and you and Christian are out

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: with now called the pure plank. But when I talk

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: about the importance of mental health, because this is Men's

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: Mental Health Month, I think it should probably be focused

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: on about twelve months a year instead of just one.

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: But physical fitness is so directly connected to mental health,

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: this seems like a nice segue for us to talk

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: about pure plank and how I can protect my core

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: from getting fucked up against I just.

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: From throwing this shit out again. So you know, Jane

35
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: and I did develop this thing. Christian and I, you know,

36
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: we we He had an idea after I kind of

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: showed him how I started to get back in shape,

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: and it really was it was for those reasons I'd

39
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: throw my back out. I have two toddlers, So for

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: about four years, I'm walking bent over with the pinkies.

41
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: You know how that is? Right? Your lower back goes weight, dude,

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you got a gut

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting two sixty and I'm getting tired walking

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: up the stairs, and I was like, Okay, I gotta

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: do something here because I gotta be around for these kids.

46
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: I had kids later in life, you know. So I

47
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: started planking because I thought I used to love planking.

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: It's body weight. That's a good way to dip my

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: toes back into my physical fitness. So then that then

50
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: kind of pushed the door open to diet. That then

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: pushed the door open to working out again because the

52
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: endorphins that dopamine you're starting to feel like you again,

53
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: right like you talked about, helped with my mental fitness,

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: which is kind of where it almost needs to start.

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: In a way. You gotta realize there's something up and

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: you got to make some changes. And that's what I did.

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: And then I was going down to Jay's because it

58
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: was getting ready to come back. And then we're doing

59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: the stuff with the trough canfield and everything, and during

60
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: the pandemic, and he said, how you getting your abs back?

61
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: I was like, honestly, I started with planking. He goes,

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: come on, come on, whatever, So I said, well, you know,

63
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: do one. So we go out in his garage and

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: he's doing it. He gets about twenty seconds and he's shaken.

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, man, it humbles you quick. It

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: humbles you.

67
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: Quick because everything's engaged, you know, kind of from your

68
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: chin down. Everything needs to be engaged. So then we

69
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: started talking about it and he started doing research and

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: he's looking at is there anything on the market for this,

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Like he immediately went to, there's a way to make

72
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: this better, you know, make it better for people who

73
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: are a little bit beat up, who who have sore elbows,

74
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: who have sore wrists, who have sore shoulders, who have

75
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: multiple surgeries, who have bad backs, or you know, women

76
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: who have just had c sections or on postpartum herd

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: and trying to get your core back. And Beth will

78
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: be the first one to talk about this, it's such

79
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: a battle. Yeah, because for women when they when they

80
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: get pregnant, like their ab muscles expand and might I

81
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: can't even imagine trying to get your core back after that. Yeah, man,

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: but we thought this might be another another tool to

83
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: be able to help with that. Here we are kind

84
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: of like three and a half years later, and the

85
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: products out and we keep selling out, and I you

86
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: know it. All I can say is from my own

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: personal experience. When I started with that, it strengthened my core.

88
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: And after I strengthened my core, everything else followed.

89
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sarah is picking up ours today at our at

Speaker 1: in this injury happened happening when it has was Wembley Stadium. Ah,

109
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: I was really really pumped for Wembley because throughout everything

110
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: and all the different venues I've been and all the like,

111
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: even all the dumps that I've wrestled, or the barmbs

112
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: that I've wrestled in, or the you know, just whatever, right, Wembley, Man,

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Like I just think of Freddie Mercury, I think a queen.

114
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: That's where I go, and it's like, oh, Wembley, I

115
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: can't wait. Wow, I'm gonna have to wait longer, so

116
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: that one Okay, Arena Mexico. I've always wanted to wrestle

117
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: Arena Mexico always, and and I remember once I went

118
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: there when I was world champ and I put on

119
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: a Lucha mask and I went to Arena Mexico show

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: and I sat in the second row and nobody had

121
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: an idea.

122
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that way.

123
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: I had a Mephisto mask on. I just it was

124
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: so much fun and just just the look of it

125
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: and the feel of it.

126
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: And Adam, whenever I go to wrestling in Mexico, I

127
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 3: don't wear a mask, and people don't recognize me either.

128
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: They don't have anything with no mask or mask. They

129
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 3: have no idea that it's me.

130
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't want to be one of those

131
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: guys that showed up and and then all of a sudden,

132
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't want to take away from the

133
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: show at all. So I was like, it'd be fun

134
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: to wear a Lucha masks.

135
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: Wanted to sho you'd have been more famous if you

136
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: wore La Park.

137
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Because I heard those guys are pretty good.

138
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me ask you something, because wrestling evolves and

139
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: artists evolve, and you're an artist. You've done it in

140
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: the ring, out of the ring, behind cameras, in front

141
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: of cameras, like, you've done a lot of stuff at

142
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: this point. But I saw something in your work near

143
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: the end of your time at WWE where it almost

144
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: looked like parts of the match looked like scenes from

145
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: movies to me, Like, and I hadn't really when you

146
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: and I got to work to you. When I was

147
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: lucky enough to get to work with you back in

148
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: the day, wrestling was much much different and I didn't

149
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: really see that side of you come out, but I've

150
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: seen it come out a lot since then. Is that

151
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: something that I'm I'm first of all, am I right?

152
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: Or have you always been doing this or where did

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: this come from? Because I love it. I remember the

154
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Damien Priest match when you were in the Toronto Get Up,

155
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: and there were segments in that match where I was like, dude,

156
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm watching a Jackie Chan fight. This is crazy, Like

157
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: it looks so crisp and so clean. I'm just wondering

158
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: was that a conscious thing or have you always been

159
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: doing that?

160
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: I think it became more pronounced after I came back

161
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: this time, and I truly think it was from the

162
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: amount of the television that I did, you know, outside

163
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: of the wrestling bubble. You know, when I was forced

164
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: to retire in twenty eleven, Right, so I get the

165
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: Haven gig by accident, right, So that from one episode

166
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: turns into forty one, and then from there it's like, Okay,

167
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: I really like this and I enjoy it. Now I'm

168
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: taking acting classes and I can't wrestle, So what do

169
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I do that still taps that creative ving well acting does.

170
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: And it was about the fourth episode in I was like,

171
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm really falling in love with this. And because my

172
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: only thing ever I want to be a wrestler, that

173
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: is it. I had no aspirations of being act or

174
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: being anything else but a professional wrestler. But you tell

175
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: me I can't do that, Okay, Well that I got

176
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: to wrap my mind around it. And then as I

177
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: started acting, I said, oh, I don't want to I

178
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: don't want to suck. But I don't know what I'm doing.

179
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: You know, I have some I guess training from wrestling

180
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: because there's some similarities. It's the same tree, it's different branches,

181
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: I've always said. But for me, I just wanted to

182
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: get better at it and feel more comfortable, I guess

183
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: really more than anything, and have the confidence to walk

184
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: on a set for the first time and go Okay,

185
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: I got this. So then Vikings comes along, yeah, and

186
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: comes along. And throughout all of that time, I think

187
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: while I was retired, I end up doing over one

188
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: hundred episodes of television and from that that's sick.

189
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: I know, I really do.

190
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. It snuck up on me too, honestly, and I

191
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: didn't fully grasp what I learned and what I took

192
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: with me until I got back to wrestling. And then

193
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: in coming back to wrestling and the pandemic hitting, I

194
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, it can't be a wrestling promo anymore.

195
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: Now it's a monologue.

196
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, dude, yes.

197
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: Now it's a monologue. And now they're going to hear

198
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: all of the things that I choose to do, and

199
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: they're going to see all the choices I make instead

200
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: of what or whatever it is right now now they're

201
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: whoever's still watching at this point, you know, during a pandemic.

202
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: Now they can see the subtleties. Now I can play

203
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: with that stuff. Now it doesn't need to be all

204
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: massive and big to play to an audience that's a

205
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: football field away. Yeah, Now it's just bam bam, and

206
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: I can play with that. And I had so much

207
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: fun in doing that, and even in putting that into

208
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: matches and making sure that there's there's moments like with

209
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: the Equip match with Finn Balor. I wanted to make

210
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: that a movie.

211
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, that was wanted crazy. I love that match.

212
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you brought that up, dude. It that

213
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: was one way to make you quit, the only way

214
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: to make you quit.

215
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: And I wanted that final ten minutes to be the

216
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: end of that movie where the good guys don't win

217
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: and the bad guys walk out of it, like with

218
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: just Still like being even worse, you know, and just

219
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: the handcuffing and all that stuff was like, we can

220
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: make this, Like I don't know, pick a movie, but

221
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: there's those certain movies where there's a gang and there's

222
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: a husband and the wife and they are trying their

223
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: best to defend their family, but it just doesn't work.

224
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: And that was the story that we're trying to get

225
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: across there.

226
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like that moment in RoboCop where he's still

227
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: just the regular cop and you're like, oh, he'll save

228
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: the day. Oh no, he's going to get shot to hell.

229
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you don't really see it coming either, you know,

230
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: like on paper, baby Face doesn't lose an eye quit match. Yeah,

231
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. Like I don't think it's ever happened.

232
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: I think it might have been the first baby Face

233
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: to lose an eye quick match. I don't know, maybe

234
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but it the way we're able to put

235
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: that one together, the way that you know, the you know,

236
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: Finn and Damian Dom and Rhea and then Beth. I

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: was just so watching it as I'm handcuffed. I was

238
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: so excited, like seeing Beth and Rhea come nose to

239
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: nose and seeing the crowd come up, I was like,

240
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: oh yes, because yeah, I've always wanted to see those

241
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: two face to face.

242
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: So it was so cool to see the different generations

243
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: come come at each other like that. It's those types

244
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: of moments in wrestling, and they always happen because wrestling,

245
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: you can wrestle until you get much older. It's not

246
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: like boxing or something like or tennis something that something

247
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 2: like that, so you can get to have those moments.

248
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: And that was one that the crowd really was excited for.

249
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 2: They got really really hot.

250
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: For it, really been into that one. And then it

251
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: all depends on whoever's booking, like did they see it?

252
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Because if they don't see it, then it ain't gonna happen,

253
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, because there's a lot of things that I

254
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: think get get swept away that you know, I always

255
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: got told well rest they don't remember now they remember stuff,

256
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: you know. I think wrestling fans, I think any you know,

257
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: whether it's I don't know, Back to the Future fans.

258
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: They're like a name of fandom. People remember I have

259
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: I have the Back to the Future two PEPSI bottle

260
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: to the left of me, Like right now, we remember

261
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: ship we remember, right. So the other night I watched

262
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Goonies with the girls, and I was reciting the whole thing.

263
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: That movie holds up. Not all of them hold up.

264
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: That movie holds up for sure.

265
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: Like slap Shot, as much as I love it, you

266
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: watch it now, It's.

267
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: Like, I know, Caddy Shack feels a little oil rough.

268
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: There's a lot of them that feel a little rough.

269
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: But Goonies holds up for sure. No Goonies holds up

270
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: for sure. Jeff, jump in there. Look how generous I am.

271
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: I'm not loving sharing edge with men.

272
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: It means a lot.

273
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, And also to speak what you guys are just

274
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: speaking about. Like, but people do remember, especially wrestling fans,

275
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: and in baseball, you don't always get the you don't

276
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: ever get to see like the the legends of a

277
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: different time, the new times. But in wrestling you can

278
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: do that because of how sports entertainment works, Like you know,

279
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: you versus Undertaker in SummerSlam, or when you you versus

280
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: Fully with wrestlming to twenty two, Like there's a lot

281
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: of like where we kind of get to see it

282
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 3: and they make it happen, and those are huge moments.

283
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, I get to wrestle Terry Funk.

284
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's pretty sweet.

285
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: No, And I love Terry Funk. I you know, like

286
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: from Road he was one of the Yeah, and he

287
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: was one of the first performers that actually made me

288
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: afraid as a kid, where I was like he he

289
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: induced something in me that I went but I couldn't

290
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: stop watching. And then you come to find out, Oh,

291
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: he's a really fucking great at his job because.

292
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: He's a sweet guy. He's a really sweet speaking of fear,

293
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: all right. So I get weird fans in my industry.

294
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: I know Freddy gets weird fans in his industry. I'm

295
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: a stand up comedian, he's an actor, But wrestling fans

296
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: are a different kind of weird. I want to know,

297
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: what's the weirdest thing a fan has ever get or

298
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: maybe done that you're like, oh boy, this was this

299
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: was a memorable one.

300
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: You know. Like I think over the years, people have

301
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: become a little more it's become a little more normalized,

302
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: like I guess, and but I distinctly remember one guy

303
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: coming up to me. I had just flown in or something.

304
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: I was meeting a couple of buddies of Perkins. I

305
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: had to hit the head, right. So I go in

306
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: there and I'm in a stall and a dude reaches

307
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: a piece of paper underneath, and I just thought, like, man,

308
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: if you could pick a worse I really don't know

309
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: what it would be like I and I so badly

310
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: just wanted to stomp on the paper and and like

311
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: piss on it. But I'm like, Nope, I'm not going

312
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: to do that. I'll sign it. But I also got

313
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: to give him a.

314
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: PSA, yeah, a little lecture.

315
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not the way to go.

316
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 3: About a stall to stalls, Yes, unless that paper says

317
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 3: do you have any toilet paper? There's none in this stall.

318
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: You know that there's no other reason to do that.

319
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: Yet I don't have a spared.

320
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: That's right, That's right.

321
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: That's amazing.

322
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: So the weirdest you reminded me of weirdness. I was

323
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: in the Vancouver Airport, one of my favorite cities in

324
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: the world, Vancouver, and I love it up there and

325
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: Whistler's awesome. And I was waiting to fly home from

326
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: a job and I had like a delicious breakfast sandwich

327
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: from like the little airport place I was getting ready

328
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: to tear into and this girl comes up to me

329
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: and she goes, excuse me. And this was like right

330
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: after I know you did last summer, so it's like

331
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: right when things happened. So I wasn't prepared. I gotta

332
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: have that caveat in there, and I go. She goes,

333
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: are you Freddy Brins Junior? And I go yeah, yeah.

334
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: I get like real shy with that stuff, so I'm like, yeah, yeah,

335
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: it's me, and she goes, it's him, and she screamed,

336
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: and these three other Canadian girls roll up and grab

337
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: my sandwich and take off just the sandwich. They didn't

338
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: ask for an autograph, didn't ask for a picture. I

339
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: just took the sandwich, was hungry and started squealing and

340
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: running away, and I was like, Yo, what the hell

341
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: just happened. That's the worst. This is like the weirdest

342
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: thing that ever happened to me.

343
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, it wasn't so much steal my food. You know.

344
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: I was just in Chicago and Samoa Joe was there

345
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: and a guy fainted in front of Samoa, so it

346
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: was it was real for that guy in that moment,

347
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 2: like and I saw it happening. The guy started shaking

348
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, like guys were like

349
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: no hold on, Buddy hold on, and he just fainted

350
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: because it was just too big. He just wasn't ready

351
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 2: for the moment.

352
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: Man, he wasn't ready at all at all.

353
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: I thought he was ready, he thought he was ready,

354
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: but he was not ready for the Joe Man.

355
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: Real quick that I had. I just said, wrestling fans

356
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: are weird. Wrestling fans are the best. I do want

357
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: to say that they're the best, but they do have

358
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 3: a sense of They're not like other fans, is all

359
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: I was trying to say. I didn't want to look.

360
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 2: Wrestling fans are willing to put a tattoo of Michael

361
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 2: ps Hayes on their leg and send a picture of it.

362
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: That's that's loyalty, beyond loyalty, beyond loyalty.

363
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: I will also say, though, like I'm a may ple

364
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: Lfe fan, there's may ple lice fans just as crazy

365
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: about the maple leafs. Said, you know, any fandom has that,

366
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: and and I mean, that's what you want, absolutely, because

367
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: that that means people are are picking up what's putting down,

368
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, they they are invested in this thing. And

369
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: and so that's why I've learned over the years to

370
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: like be thankful for it for sure, because if I'm

371
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: not and I start looking down my nose at it, well,

372
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: then why should they still be a fan? What I

373
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: don't understand, And you know, I've had these discussions and

374
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, is this this fandom of initials of a

375
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: certain company, but you can't go and watch another like that?

376
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't understand.

377
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: We talk about that on the show. Yeah, I watch

378
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: it everything. When I was a kid, as we have

379
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 2: everything I could consume that was wrestling with my grandma

380
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: and Puerto Rico record everything for me and I would

381
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: just sit down and watch NWA, WWF, WCW like it

382
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: didn't matter. Anything she could record, she would record, and

383
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: I would watch it like it's all great.

384
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: I just loved it all, you know. And I wanted

385
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: to see guys that I wouldn't necessarily get to get

386
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: my eyeballs on, or i'd just see in the bill

387
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: after magazines, you know. I wanted to be able to

388
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: see more Rick Flair. I wanted to see what the

389
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: Four Horsemen.

390
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: Were all about.

391
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: That's where I grew up was a very WWF centric place,

392
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: but I could still get international out of Montreal BC

393
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: All Star Wrestling. I could get Stampede wrestling. So I

394
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: still get all these different places, and I'm so thankful

395
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: I did because I saw the beginning of Owen Heart's career.

396
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: I saw the beginning of Brian Pillman's career, I saw

397
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: the beginning of Jusian Leiger's career. Is one half of

398
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: the be It Kong Express.

399
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: Like what Yeah Express?

400
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: I think Hasse was the other member. So, like, you

401
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: grow up and you see these guys start their careers

402
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: and then let alone when like the veterans would roll

403
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: through town, like with International, if Rick Martel came in,

404
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: he was defining the AWA titles. Man, Like, I just

405
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: had a blast growing up watching wrestling. It was what

406
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: got me through some you know what I think is

407
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: for everyone some pretty tumultuous years in terms of like

408
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 1: emotionals and hormones and all that stuff. I had wrestling

409
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: and I had music.

410
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: We predicted on this podcast that you would not go

411
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 3: to a w We were like, I mean, I thought

412
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: there was zero chance you'd go to AW.

413
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: So I was on the same page with that. But

414
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: the way you what you just described completely explains why

415
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: you were able to make that shift. How difficult of

416
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: a choice was that sorry to jump in j No, no,

417
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: that's the same question and steal everything. But how was

418
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 2: was it a more challenging decision than you thought? Or

419
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: was it? Look, I love to wrestle, this is just

420
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 2: a different canvas and I'm gonna go paint.

421
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: That was really what it boiled down to. And I

422
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: just thought of all the paints I'd have at my disposal.

423
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: And I also knew that I would be needed for more,

424
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: which which was really enticing, you know I And this

425
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: is I can always preface everything with this. This is

426
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: not a knock on the WWE. But I was breakflass.

427
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: In case of emergency or we need something for this,

428
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: let's call at him again. And it's every three months,

429
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: or it's every four months, or maybe there's a little

430
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: story here, but then it's gone again, and then it's

431
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: back again. I became the king of the comeback. And

432
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: it almost became like farcical. You know, it happened so

433
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: many times. So I looked over there, and I looked

434
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: at the roster and Jay there, you know, so get

435
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: to work on my best friend. And that's the only

436
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: way this is going to happen is if I go there.

437
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: But then again, I looked at the roster and I

438
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: just started salvating because I'm like, man, talk about a

439
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: blank canvas and talk about like a brand new palette

440
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: to work with. Moxley, Claudium, Danielson, MJF J White, Samoa,

441
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: Joe and I have never worked each other. Like that's

442
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: insane to me. That's wild. It's wild, right, the young

443
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: bucks FTR. Like that's off the top of my head, and.

444
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: That's yes, we didn't even mention swerve to change. Yeah,

445
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: like we didn't even they deep rosterate. Guys, you haven't

446
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: touched yet.

447
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, And since I've been there, you know, to be

448
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: able to get with Pento one week and then Suzuki

449
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: another week, and then in the same week do a

450
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: street fight with Brody King and then do a technical

451
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 1: match with Kyle O'Reilly two days later, Like that to

452
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: me is super fun because at this stage of my career,

453
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: at this age, you need new challenges to you know,

454
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: to spark you. From the day I walked in there,

455
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: I've just been like, I feel like a little kid

456
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: in the candy store.

457
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: You did some cinematic shit with O'Reilly too, when you

458
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 2: guys had that match. You guys did did some stuff

459
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: where I was like, that's straight out of the movies

460
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: right there.

461
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: That was awesome.

462
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love going to do that, man. I love

463
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: when you do it. I've seen other wrestlers take from

464
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: that now and I've seen them start to add it

465
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 2: to their repertoire, like little by little because they've seen

466
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: it work at a high level when you pulled it off,

467
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 2: and maybe other guys were doing it, but I'm just

468
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: now noticing it with my somewhat trained eyes.

469
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: So Randy has always done it, and it's just making

470
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: sure to build those moments. But you can't just do them.

471
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: You got to build to them. And if you don't

472
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: have the time, well then it's not going to work.

473
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: So it's really just it needs to be the right opponent,

474
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: it needs to be the right scenario, it needs to

475
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: be the right amount of time to be able to

476
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: really pull it off. Thankfully, at this stage, I'm given

477
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: the time to be able to paint those moments and

478
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: be a part of, you know, kind of constructing that.

479
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: And with Kyle, it's like it's his hometown. It's just

480
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: twenty years after he watched his first match in that

481
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: arena with his dad and I was on the show.

482
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 2: What I didn't know that that me have said that

483
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: in commentary, but I don't remember that.

484
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: That's wild and his dad came to this show and

485
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: his family was there, So it's all it all. It

486
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: really rights itself so that you can get some real

487
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: moments in there. And for me, the goal is always

488
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: to have the audience believe this guy's going to lose

489
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: the title. And I love that about guys like Rick

490
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: Flair where Nightly, I didn't know if he was going

491
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: to walk out with the title. Like Sean Michaels, I

492
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: didn't know if he was going to walk out with them.

493
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: Because y'all take such a beating man well and it

494
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: makes me think, oh shit, this is the time he's

495
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: gonna lose.

496
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: And if you can paint it right, hopefully, you know,

497
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: there's no reason that a cold match me and O'Reilly,

498
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, should have people really thinking, Okay, he's going

499
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: to drop this title on an episode of Collision. But

500
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: I think about halfway through they started buying into this idea.

501
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: You and Randy have always been great at that and

502
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: making people think, no matter who it is, oh shit,

503
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,239
Speaker 2: alway is he gonna win?

504
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: Okay?

505
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: No, he's not. And there's the Arcado when he got him.

506
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: But there's always like you guys were always good at that,

507
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: the veterans that you that you too.

508
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: Now we are.

509
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's right, buddy.

510
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: You're a veteran.

511
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: I will say, does it bother you? Guys like me

512
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 3: are still calling you Edge? I can't stop doing it.

513
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: You know.

514
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: It's one of those deals like I've never introduced myself

515
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: as Edge. I've never called myself Edge, you know what

516
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean? So for me, I just go, well, I mean,

517
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: I play a character. I played a character named Edge. Yeah,

518
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: but I still played a character named Flatino.

519
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you know you don't call my wife Buffy,

520
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: you call her Sarah, call him Adam, dude. I know

521
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: it's hard for my brains.

522
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 3: Wow, it's hard for my brain though, because we be

523
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: wrestling is different for me than a movie script or

524
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: a TV show. It's like I used to date a wrestler.

525
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 3: She'd be like, Oh, we're gonna go, Mark's gonna be there,

526
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: and like, all right, big deal?

527
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: Who was Mark?

528
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: And then we get there and it's like Undertaker. I'm like,

529
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: why didn't you tell me like that? Like she I

530
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: didn't tell you, I think it's closer.

531
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: To like a really successful sitcom like Michael Richard is

532
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: probably always going to be absolutely and and Jennifer Anderson's

533
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: some people are always going to call it Rachel right,

534
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: is just one of those things. So yeah, I mean

535
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: that means people watch, That means something I did stuck

536
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: with and that's a compliment.

537
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, throws people off, well, like hul Hulk Hogan, you

538
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 3: know you like he's skill, I'm Darry You're Hulk, all right,

539
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: That's just how.

540
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: That I'm always going to see and hear you as that.

541
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, how much longer are you going to be hurt?

542
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: What can you even talk about it yet? Is it

543
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: too yearly Ton't even know.

544
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: Only what I know is that it's non weight bearing

545
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: for eight to ten weeks, which is far the most

546
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: frustrating part. But this is the same leg that I

547
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: tore my achilles on, so I know I kind of

548
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: know what it is, and it's just a whole lot

549
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: of doing nothing and first except healing, that's your job.

550
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: Once I get walking again, that's when I can have

551
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: a better gauge of like, oh, this is going to

552
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: be a six month this is going to be an

553
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: eight month I guess it was just a bad area.

554
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: You never want to break your leg, but it was like,

555
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: is there a good a good area. It was not

556
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: a good leg break, but it was just above the

557
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: ankle joint, which I guess is called a pelon fracture.

558
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: So there's more that comes into it in terms of

559
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: the healing process, you know, with a tissue with the

560
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: blood flow. And I'm fifty, right, so I have to

561
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: be a realist and understand that my body is going

562
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: to play some limitations, you know, on myself that just

563
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: weren't there before, hence why I got hurt. I truly

564
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: think when I was thirty, I could have pulled it off.

565
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Man, the artist mind is young. It's

566
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: it's just the body that ages. But the artist's mine

567
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: stays young. You're always trying to come up with new

568
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: crazy stuff.

569
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: Right absolutely, you know. So now it was it was

570
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: tough lesson to learn, but I learned it well.

571
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: Listen, man, thank you for doing the show. You guys

572
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: can get the pure Plank at gopureplank dot com and

573
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: make them sell out again, because they keep selling out.

574
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: I got to get my ass on it, so I

575
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: can stop getting injuries. Appreciate you being a part of

576
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: this show. Thank you for always being so cool. Thank

577
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 2: you for being cool when crazy storylines were pitched at

578
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: you when we work together back in the day, and

579
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 2: always making shit work. And I'm so glad to see

580
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: you having so much fun today even though you're hitting

581
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: your best friend of the nuts with a barbed wire

582
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: baseball pad. You psychopath or at least threatening to Jesus,

583
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: it was coming to.

584
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: A thud.

585
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: There was a thud, all right. Thanks for doing the

586
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,720
