Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what do you think about our new song?

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: Kind of edgy, greedy.

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: I don't even want to fade it out like it.

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 3: I like it a lot.

26
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the old one, but out with the

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: old and with the new, new year.

00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: Knew us. Let's go, Let's go.

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: It's like a good pair of underwear.

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: Good pair of underwear.

31
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sure everybody watched me last night on

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: US Signed by Superstars, and I hit I hit it

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: out of the park last night.

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: I did well, you did rebounded.

35
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you for everyone who tuned in. And uh,

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully, well, we'll do an other one at

37
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: the end of twenty twenty five. But what do we

38
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: have on the agenda for today, because there's going on.

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we've definitely you know, again, we took

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: a little break, but we popped in a couple of times,

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: and we talked a lot about WWE, But we haven't

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: really talked about AW at all the last couple of months,

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: So I don't know if that's really good, But I

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: figure maybe we'll kind of shoot the old shizzle on

45
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: what's been going on with AW. So these anytime we've

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: talked about them, it's only been about the Costco guys,

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: and I can't necessarily say that that's very good because

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: they suck. So it's you know, we haven't talked about

49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: the actual company.

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: I disagree with that. I think they're way over I

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: think you're jealous. I think if you had the opportunity

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: to do what they're doing, you would jump at it.

53
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: But that's just me.

54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: People have mixed opinions about the Costco guys. I myself

55
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: am a big fan of the Rizzler. There's there's no

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: one on this earth in the world of professional wrestling

57
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: that's cuter than the Little Riz.

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: I love them, But I digress.

59
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: Yes about that. Let me tell you how much this

60
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: shit is following me now, these Costco idiots. I have

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: people telling me all the time now how much they

62
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: love them, And you know, I got to get over it.

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: Somebody who listened to our show said, how you finally

64
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: put me in my place as it relates to these douchebags.

65
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: But I put you in your place. Yes, very good,

66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: as you should be.

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: It's my show, damn it. I know what I'm talking about.

68
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: These look but Okay, in State of aw we've only

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: talked about the Costco guys. But how come one of

70
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: the things that I have to talk about is the

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: fact that the friggin Costco guys are coming back to AW.

72
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I had said. The success of that

73
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: last pay per view, was it all out all in.

74
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know what it was called. They were

75
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: so over in the state of New Jersey, right, because

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: that's where they're from. And we discussed, like, you know,

77
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: are they going to be a trend everywhere else or

78
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: is it going to fizzle out?

79
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: So?

80
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: Where is this other show going to be broadcast from?

81
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Where are they live from?

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: This one? Yeah, Revolution twenty twenty five. I don't let

83
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: me see if it says it here. It's not New Jersey,

84
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: I know.

85
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: That right, right? Is it on the East Coaster?

86
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

87
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: I will find out, Okay, anyway, it'll be nice to

88
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: see if they get the same reaction at this show

89
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: depending on where it's located, you know, where it's broadcasting from.

90
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: So I think they will. I think they're pretty over. Now.

91
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: Who is he wrestling on this one? Because it's not QT.

92
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: It hasn't been said yet.

93
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, well, I'd like to watch that match. I

94
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: enjoyed the other one a lot, and you got to

95
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: give a qu Marshall credit. He bumped his ass off

96
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: for that guy, so they I think the the grouping

97
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: made it entertaining. So let's see who he works with

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: this time, and if so, will this guy, get him over,

99
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?

100
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, it's March ninth in California, LA.

101
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: Very interesting. Okay, So are they over on the West coast?

102
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: That could be a that could be a very good

103
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: question because LA is not a New Jersey that's for them.

104
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, so we'll see what happens. But lots of

105
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: different things going on with AW right now. You had

106
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: mentioned to me that one of their shows got canceled.

107
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they no longer AW Rampage.

108
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: So what night was that? Was that a Wednesday show

109
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: or was the Dynamite Wednesday?

110
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: Dynamite is the Marquee show. Dynamite is the Wednesday show?

111
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: That one is definitely not going anywhere. That's gonna be

112
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: your AW Monday Night Raw. That's going to be you know,

113
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: you're nitro, that's going to be a mainstay.

114
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 3: So was this the Saturday show?

115
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: This was the let me see Wednesday? Yeah, they ended

116
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: on the twenty seventh, So this was the was it

117
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: the Saturday or the Friday? Say I get confused with

118
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: these two. The twenty seven was the Friday show.

119
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: Friday show? Yep, So they still have Wednesdays and Saturdays

120
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: that they're.

121
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: On yep, so they also have the Saturday show as well.

122
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: Was the cancelation due to poor ratings or was it

123
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: budget cost.

124
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 2: So that one. You know, I'm unsure on that, but

125
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the ratings probably had a really big

126
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: part of it.

127
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: So okay, so we can check and see why it

128
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: was canceled.

129
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: During the twenty twenty During the December twenty second, twenty

130
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 2: twenty four tapings, Tony Cown announced that's the twenty seventh episode,

131
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: which was the New Year's Smash Special, would be the

132
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: final episode of Rampage for the foreseeable future, as the

133
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: program was not included in aw's media rights deal with

134
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers Discovery that takes effect on January first, So

135
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: they're using the it's not coming over with the rest

136
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: of the package as the scapegoat. But these the show

137
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: did nothing in the ratings after them Punk debuted, This

138
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: show was barely the show was barely getting watched for

139
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: like a commercial would on a primetime show on network TV.

140
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: So wasn't these these were horrid for Punk?

141
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, like an extra show?

142
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: No, that was the Saturday show.

143
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: That was Saturday.

144
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: Oh okay, but the Saturday show is doing better rating

145
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: wise than the Friday show.

146
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, slightly.

147
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: Friday nights are not a good night for wrestling.

148
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry.

149
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: We were on Friday nights and we did not draw

150
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: and we had a good show. So I don't know.

151
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: Friday is a propitnight for our wrestling program.

152
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: But you know, you put your ratings up against their ratings,

153
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: you guys, uh yeah.

154
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, how are they drawing on a Friday?

155
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: They do really well, do they?

156
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

157
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: Back in the day, we didn't draw well on Friday nights,

158
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: but like our Tuesday show did great, Our syndicated show

159
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: did great.

160
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's such a weird dynamic wrestling, you know.

161
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

162
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: And and plus had to head competition kind of hurts

163
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: you too. I think you have to pick and choose

164
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: your spots.

165
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: So do they really need a third show?

166
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: Probably not no, But their roster is so large, yes,

167
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: so you know when you have when you do have

168
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: a third show, unless you're pushing the same talent over

169
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: and over again, it kind of like helps get some

170
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: of the lesser known workers.

171
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: Some TV time. So in that aspect, I'm all for it.

172
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: But if the ratings were horrible, then it's it's just

173
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: a waste of money, right, But.

174
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 2: It's really like their fourth show because they also have

175
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: a Ring of Honor. So so where does that AC

176
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: that's online?

177
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: Well that doesn't roll. Yeah, I'm talking about that.

178
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: But it's still it's like it's another spot for them

179
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: to ye have their their roster spread. But you know,

180
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: the technically had four shows in production, and you know,

181
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: I'm sure Lee some people may be relieved that that

182
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: show is gone, but you know, maybe some of the

183
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: enhancement guys that were getting booked on there might not

184
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: be happy about it too, because the little spot for

185
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: guys to get a little bit of work when they

186
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: use them there.

187
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: Well, I I read something industry interesting about ae W

188
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: the nature boy.

189
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: Rick Flair was supposed to make a cameo and got

190
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: pulled and was replaced by the Rock and Roll Express.

191
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I thought that was weird too. When I

192
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: saw the Rock and Roll Express. Yeah, when they I

193
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: heard it was them popping up, I was like, it's

194
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: very interesting group to promote on the level they're promoting them,

195
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: But I did not know it was Flair. Interesting.

196
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be Rick Flair, and I wonder

197
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: why they pulled him. And then I see all over

198
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: social media Rick Flair wants another match, and even Conrad Thompson,

199
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: who's his son in law, put like this gift up

200
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: of a man shaking his head.

201
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: No, Everybody's like no, no, no. I think it's more

202
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: so just for health reasons, you know, because when did

203
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: he do his last match? At least two years ago

204
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 3: if not?

205
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and he was barely breathing towards the end

206
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: of that match, like and you know, now he's two

207
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: three years older and he wants one more match.

208
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: Is he going to gig all over the place and

209
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: pass out?

210
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: Like? What is the probably like the last time he

211
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: remember he blacked out.

212
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: Why why do you want to put your body through

213
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: that again just to draw money.

214
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure Flair is very well off at this point.

215
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: He uh, well. While we were on our break, he

216
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: had a very public fight with former Ring of Honor

217
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: owner Carrie Silkin over a twenty year feud over money.

218
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: But I'm sure he still does very well with his

219
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: his deals.

220
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: But he owed them money.

221
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: He owed carry Silkin forty grand I believe it was,

222
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: And then Flair claimed that it's not that he owed

223
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: them forty grand. It's that they cost him millions, So

224
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: it was a stupid fight.

225
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: Was it because he took a deposit and didn't show

226
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: up or something?

227
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: Oh but Flair's claim is that, well, they cost him

228
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 2: millions of dollars, so ignore the forty grand. If he

229
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: lose millions because he could have done other business. I

230
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: guess I don't know. This is because of that. You know,

231
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: it's so stupid, it's so old. It's so old. It's

232
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: a twenty plus year old argument that they're having and.

233
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: Coming to fruition in twenty twenty five.

234
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, kids are commenting on it that weren't alive. They're

235
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: commenting on in social media. You know, their take on

236
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: the matter.

237
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: It's a come on, Well yeah, I don't know. Do

238
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: fans really want to see Rick Flair wrestle.

239
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty five.

240
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: I think it's cool that he pops up places because

241
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: he's Rick Flair and he's he's still will always be over.

242
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: I mean, really, all he has to do is stand there.

243
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: In WU and he's over. He doesn't even have to

244
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: bump or talk. It just hasn't let out a big WU,

245
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, man, he's the man, that's Rick Flair.

246
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 3: Why does he have to wrestle?

247
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you tell me.

248
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 3: I can't tell you because I don't know.

249
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: Is that the you know, you've been in the in

250
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: the back thousands of times. Some of the guys that's

251
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: in their blood right, they just can't let it go.

252
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

253
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: Is it that addiction that they got to get that adulation?

254
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: They have to be involved in the business? Like what

255
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: what is it?

256
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 3: It comes to a point where you have to listen

257
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: to your body. Yeah, And you know, like he's he's

258
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: goin of being close to eighty years old.

259
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: Isn't he He's I think he's seventy four.

260
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 3: I want to say, oh, well, I mean he's getting there.

261
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: That's close to eighty. That's close enough to eighteen.

262
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 3: I mean it's getting there. So why on earth are

263
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: you going to five?

264
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: He's seventy five years old and God bless them, you know,

265
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: still looks good for his age, still moving around.

266
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 3: But why put your body through that if you don't

267
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: have to. I just don't understand it.

268
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: I talked to some of the guys that I worked with,

269
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: and they're ready to like just hang it up, and

270
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: they're like sixty they're not seventy five, you know what

271
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean?

272
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, he could just be do you know.

273
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: Like I gotta say, Hulk Hogan has done it the

274
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: right way as it relates to like protecting the Hulk

275
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: Hogan character right in the Hulk Hogan legacy. He hasn't

276
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: come out of retirement, you know, one hundred times he

277
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: I think he has last match in maybe twenty eleven

278
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: or twenty twelve or something like that. But you know,

279
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: he gives the right rubs to certain guys. He'll come out,

280
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: do an interview and he'll put a guy over and

281
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: that's it. He's not involved in storylines. He's not out

282
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: there trying to have another match. Like Hulk Hogan does

283
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: it right, and he gets so much shit because of

284
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: his past indiscretions that he's not used nearly as much

285
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: as he probably could have.

286
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like to see Ric Flair come out

287
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: as a manager, a mouthpiece some somewhere where he doesn't

288
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: have to get physical, because at this point it's just

289
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: like elder abuse.

290
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point.

291
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: I just don't understand getting younger talent beating up on

292
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: an old man.

293
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know. I don't think it's it's

294
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: sells I.

295
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: Personally, as a fan, I don't want to say it.

296
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like he still has a lot

297
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: to give to the business. He could be a good

298
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: backstage agent if he wanted to be, and if he

299
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: needs to be on camera, he could be used in

300
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: a million different ways.

301
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: But there's no last match. Don't do it. I don't

302
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

303
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: You did it already, yeah, and it was bad.

304
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: Well again, I mean, you know, some people liked it,

305
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: some people hated it, but his health is what's most important.

306
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: And I just feel like, you know, you want to

307
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: be on camera, that's fine, but find something to do

308
00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: that protects you.

309
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: And don't put.

310
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: Yourself out there just to be humiliated, because ain't nobody

311
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: got time for that.

312
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: No, No, I think that.

313
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: Would be.

314
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 5: The oh oh, I I'm literally I'm wondering what you're saying.

315
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: So that would be the same.

316
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: Yes, that is to say, what segment of this week

317
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: or broadcast?

318
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, wait for I thought you were gonna

319
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: drop me on some like poignant queens.

320
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give you a subtle hit. I'm going

321
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: like this push the button. You're looking at me like

322
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm insane. We're gonna work on a gang, We're gonna

323
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: get it together. But yeah, that is to say what

324
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: segment in my opinion of this week, So.

325
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean because again we did this two

326
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: years ago. We watched the match. It's not good. It's

327
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: just it's like, you know when you see it, pass

328
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: out a pull of his own blood, and he's like,

329
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: he's a great he's still great at selling at seventy

330
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: two years old. It's like, no, he's passed out in

331
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: a pool of his own blood.

332
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: That's not called selling. That's called dying.

333
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: Sorry, called blood transfusion. Backstage. Yeah, that's called you clear,

334
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

335
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: And he doesn't need to do it. He doesn't need

336
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: to reinvent himself or reawaken his career. He's Rick Flair.

337
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: No one else on this planet is Rick Flair but

338
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: Rick Flair. Okay, so he does not need to resurrect

339
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: his career. He's fine, just do other.

340
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: Stuff, but don't don't have a match. It's just my opinion.

341
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. You think he saw the

342
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: footage of Dori Funk doing the death match from over

343
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: the Summer and he was.

344
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: Like, shit, I'm gonna one up him.

345
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: I gotta do that, because remember when that happened, we

346
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: didn't really talk about it on the air, but that

347
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: was that was a scary, scary proposition.

348
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: Well now, listen, I didn't see it, but everything I

349
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: read about that match said that they protected him one

350
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: hundred percent. So he must be a hell of a

351
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: worker if he fooled you, because every single person said

352
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: that he was one hundred percent protected.

353
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: Again, I didn't see it, so I don't know. I

354
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: don't know what the match is.

355
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: Putting him on the plane and sending him to Japan

356
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: and making him go through that that's the death match part.

357
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: Well again, why do these old timers need to do

358
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: this stuff? They don't.

359
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: I'd rather remember Flair for what he brought to the

360
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: table in his prime, you know. And then and then

361
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: you see something like what he did two years ago,

362
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: and it kind of like, I don't want to say,

363
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: tarnishes it, but it makes you look at him and

364
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: feel bad for him, right because then you say, oh

365
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: my god, he used to be so good. Well, yeah,

366
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: he was in his prime, and now he's just an

367
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: older man trying to live like a young man in

368
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: the ring, and he just doesn't have it anymore.

369
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 3: So what's the point? You know? They say you're only

370
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: as good as your last match, and.

371
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: If your last match is shit, I mean really like,

372
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: I want to remember you being cool and the legend

373
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: that you are.

374
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: Mister Flair.

375
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: Well, I was never a Flair fan, so that last

376
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: match was just how I remembered him before.

377
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, on that note, do we have anything coming up?

378
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 3: We don't have anything coming up.
