8
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,800

9
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: Yes I did, because we follow each other on.

10

Speaker 2: I saw that. It was. Let me tell you, that

12
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: was an Oscar winning performance. You were very very stern

13
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 2: as you let me.

14
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: I might quent and become a detective if that's the

15
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do it.

16
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: I would have been really scared if I was the

17
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: one sitting in that chair, because you were just you were.

18
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: Throwing the book at him. How well, how are you?

19
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 3: How crazy? How about you?

20
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: Well?

21
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic, can't complain. Very good, very very good.

22
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: We had a really nice, uh nice holiday, went to

23
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: PA visited my family, so it was really good. The

24
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: big gift for my kids we bought them like a

25
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: regulation air hockey because they really like air hockey, and

26
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: I thought, well, it'll get them off their devices and

27
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: then we can all have tournaments and play. And uh,

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: the one well, the one thing I forgot was my daughter.

29
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 2: She's fifteen.

30
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, my daughter's fifteen, my son's twelve, so they're

31
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: they're getting up there. Yeah, but she's like super competitive.

32
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: And so am I. But she was like really like

33
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: trying to hit that puck and she was hitting it

34
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 2: with such force that she bruised. So she's a little

35
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: salty about hurting herself.

36
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: But like they want to win me, and we're playing

37
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Disney Trivial Pursuit and we're all just like this over

38
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: the table, ready to get each other.

39
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: Like we're very competitive. Yeah yeah, yeah, we have the

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: Disney Trivial Pursuit. We're well, we're going.

41
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: To get into all this because we have some some

42
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: special stuff coming up together.

43
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: Which all right, how was your holiday, by the way, It.

44
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: Was great, Like I had almost three weeks off. Like

45
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: one of the cool things about NXT is we shut

46
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: down right before Christmas and we don't go back until

47
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: well I go back tomorrow morning. You gotta fly to

48
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: LA But like it's almost three weeks off and like

49
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: you don't know what to do with yourself, but like

50
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: it had a great time. Like actually went to Florida,

51
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: which was weird considering I wasn't working, and yeah, we

52
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: did like SeaWorld and we did these springs and all that,

53
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: and you know, it had fun. And you know, it's

54
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: just I'm excited to go back to work though, but

55
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: like it was, it was fun having like just a

56
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: fun no stressful Christmas. It was great.

57
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: Three weeks in a row, off three weeks in a row.

58
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: That's exciting. That's yeah, that's a rarity. So let me

59
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: just so for NXT, I know you have home base.

60
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: Where you have like the n XT Arena. Is that

61
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: what you call it?

62
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: The I don't know what we call it. We just

63
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: called PC. Yeah, I guess it would be the n

64
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: X area.

65
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: I think it's the X anyway, the where you have

66
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: your shows, where you tape your your TV.

67
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: Shows and stuff.

68
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: When I was talking to the girls, when when I

69
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: was invited to the show last month, and I was

70
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: talking to the girls, and I was telling them like,

71
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's pretty much based in Florida, and they

72
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, because that's where you know, we perform

73
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: a lot.

74
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: How often do you guys actually travel to do TV?

75
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 3: So right now we're doing like twice a month like this.

76
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: This month we got like La and Atlanta, and then

77
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: in between we're back in Orlando. So I don't I

78
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: don't know if that's like a thing that's going to be,

79
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 3: you know, forever or what. But it's fun to get

80
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: out of Orlando every once in a while, get in

81
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: front of a different crowd and stuff like that. And

82
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: but you know, selfishly, I kind of like driving eighteen

83
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: minutes to work every day. So it's good.

84
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can imagine, because getting on a plane

85
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: every weekend, I can't even. I I love working now,

86
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, I pick and choose what I want to do.

87
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: But when I have like three weekends in a row,

88
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for the work, but I'm just like, oh

89
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: my god, I have to fly three weekends in a row.

90
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: Like it kind of gets to you sometimes. So it

91
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: must be nice to be able to just jump in

92
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: the car and be there.

93
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because you know, I fly every week into Orlando,

94
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: right North Carolina. But then now it's like going to La.

95
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: I'm leaving North Carolina to go to La to go

96
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: back to Orlando was in back to North Carolina, so

97
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 3: it added another little bit of travel for me.

98
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, well I don't I don't want to talk

99
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: about it too much because we have so much more

100
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: to talk about, like fun stuff that I want to cover.

101
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: But the whole uh you and wwe Because when I

102
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: heard that you signed there, I was like super happy

103
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: for you, but then I was like, you know, I didn't.

104
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: I never expected you to end up there.

105
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: Not not that you're not worthy of that position, because

106
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: I always thought you had a great mind for the business,

107
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: but how did you actually end up working for a

108
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: next team?

109
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 3: Behind the scenes, it was It was wild because I

110
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: had basically broken my neck in fifteen, like so like

111
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: I needed the fusion surgery and stuff like that. And

112
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: I got the first call in October of twenty fifteen,

113
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: and Matt Ballute says like, would you like to, you know,

114
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: possibly call him earlier, that's my And I said, yes, sir,

115
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: I would love to, but you know, I just found

116
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: out I needed next surgery and he's like, oh the

117
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 3: you know, and clung up on me. No, he didn't

118
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: hang up on me. But that's the story I want

119
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: out there. So they didn't put that right, and so

120
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: like he just said, like, hey, we're going to pass,

121
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: like you know, our coaches have to get in a

122
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: ring and stuff. I said, oh, so, uh you know,

123
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: probably nine months later he calls me back, he's like,

124
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: they remember that job. He's like, do you like Melick

125
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: shot at him like yeah, yeah, I would love it.

126
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: And then uh I went down for tryout and stuff

127
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: like that, and then tomorrow it'll be eight years.

128
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: I know.

129
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: The time is why it does. And like the fact

130
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: that the office doesn't know I work there, it's so helpful.

131
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: I just just slide under the radar everywhere.

132
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: I don't know you worked there, and they don't know

133
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: you wrestled.

134
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: No a world champion, they know not. I changed my

135
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: look all the time just to be like a chameleon.

136
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, ridiculous, of course they know who you are. Get

137
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: out of here. You're silly, do you do you actually

138
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: have to bump like a lot, not.

139
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: A lot every once in a while. Yeah, sometimes sometimes

140
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: to prove a point. And uh, my guys, but I

141
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: got like the my guys are the greatest, Like I've

142
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: all the tags and like they're the best, and I

143
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: love it and it's it's it's like it's not going

144
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: to work every day because and I know that's so cliche,

145
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: but like, you know, all are all my guys are

146
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: real tight, and like we have a focus, and the

147
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: focus is you know, them not seeing this mug every

148
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: day and getting the rocks back down and you know,

149
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: you know, eventually, you know, when I'm you know, pee

150
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: and my pants every day, like they'll pay for my

151
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: GoFundMe or something like that. You know, it'll all circle back,

152
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: but it depends. Yeah, yeah, and uh and then yeah.

153
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: So it's it's just so much fun. And you know,

154
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: to teach tag team wrestling every day, like it's great,

155
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: you know, t be stressful, so stressful and beating up

156
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 3: my liver those are worse than the bumps. But like,

157
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: but it's it's so rewarding because as you know, when

158
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: we were wrestling, you know, like we create the match,

159
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: we create the story, we create the scenario. You go

160
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: out and like you're in control, like you know, but

161
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: producing is such a different, you know, such a different thing.

162
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: It's like you help them do this, you do this.

163
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: The second that music comes on, You're like, I have

164
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: no control, you know, you just hope it goes well,

165
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: and you know, I hope I'm not calling the wrong

166
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: shots to the director and like poor director NXT because

167
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: I always get all the complicated run in and this

168
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 3: and that, and like you know, I could just I

169
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: can feel the life coming out of them on the

170
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 3: other end of the headset, like, oh my god, we

171
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 3: gotta put up with Steve again.

172
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. I think everybody admires you.

173
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: And that's the vibe I got you first of all

174
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: when I saw you back there.

175
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: You looked like a suit You look super professional.

176
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, call yeah, that's such a good thing to

177
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: be as cool as a cucumber, right, just like I was.

178
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: Really not not that I'm not impressed with you as

179
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: a person or anything, but seeing you in that element,

180
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: because I mean, look, the last time you and I

181
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: worked together it was in ECW and we were a

182
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: bunch of goofballs.

183
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: Just yeah, we.

184
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: Were young, we were in our twenties having a good

185
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: time and which I am dying to get into and

186
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: I will. But I'm just so first of all, I'm

187
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: happy that I was called to do that only for

188
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: the simple fact that I got to reunite like with

189
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: you and see some people that I hadn't seen in

190
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: like so long.

191
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: That was like, plus the money. Not gonna lie, that

192
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: was nice too, to get a pay I did, but just.

193
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: Like it, you know, because I think I don't dwell

194
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: on the past, but I do think of my friends often.

195
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: And you and I were just so very close at

196
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: one point, and then everybody drifts and goes ways, and

197
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that we reconnected.

198
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: So I me too.

199
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,520

206
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: don't see each other, especially see something. I talked to

Speaker 2: We're all trying to like help each other get bookings.

279
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: I remember this, and we lived kind of close in proximity,

280
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: and I said, Hey, Steve, there's this show or this convention.

281
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: Do you want to do it with me? And you

282
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: were like yeah.

283
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: I said, great, they are getting us a hotel. But

284
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: what I didn't tell Steve is that it wasn't a

285
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: hotel room. It was a convent, a convent, a convent, right,

286
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: We're not with the Catholic convent where nuns lived, and

287
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if they sponsor, if they were one

288
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: of the sponsors, but like all the boys were invited

289
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: to stay at the convent. And so I tell Steve,

290
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: we're staying somewhere, but I never told you when.

291
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: And you played it up too. You were like, I

292
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: heard this pretty nice place. You know it's gonna be good,

293
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay, you know, you know pretty won't

294
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: let us down.

295
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: I know, well, first of all, it was free, so

296
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: you were like it was free. So all I remember

297
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: and you take it over. We we had directions after

298
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: this show. I don't know if it was a show

299
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: or convention. We pull up and do you remember it

300
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: was like a kind of like a hill with like.

301
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: Lit candles, like yeah, lit pathway.

302
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's where like horror places or horror movies are made, or.

303
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: Tell your side of the story.

304
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: So the way I remember it was, yeah, like I'm like,

305
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: I don't see the hotel. You're like, well, it's not

306
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: really a hotel. And that's that's when you were like,

307
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: you know, uh, you know. I think you even tried

308
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: to say it was called like the convent or something

309
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: like that, like it was some sort of like fair

310
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: Field in or something like that.

311
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: The name of the place they want, the convent.

312
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: All right, and we went in and I just remember

313
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 3: there was no food, right and yeah, and then you know,

00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: and he looked point blank at me and said women

472
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: do not belong in our business.

473
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: As I'm sitting there, and I was just like, sir,

474
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: like what do you say?

475
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: It's first of all, it's Bruno, Like, I'm not gonna

476
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: and all I said was I respectfully disagree with you.

477
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: And that was it because I wasn't going to argue with.

478
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 3: The guy, but received should I'm against.

479
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: Well, they see, like when I had like hack on

480
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: and when I had the Dudley's on and so on

481
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: and so forth, I had always asked them, and I'm

482
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: going to ask you.

483
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: Paul made me out to be like this superwoman.

484
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah right, And I was like a buck twenty at

485
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: the time, which was not really too believable, but I

486
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: had the attitude, and you know, I tried to be

487
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: tough and all this stuff.

488
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 3: But and you were over too, So like I believe that,

489
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: not that it puts, you know, weight on, but it

490
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: puts legitimacy in the fans of eyes when like you're

491
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: so over it doesn't matter if you're a buck twenty.

492
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 3: You know, it's you're superwoman.

493
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 2: Okay, so that he made me out to be superwoman.

494
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: But when it's you and I and I have to

495
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: beat you up and I have to pin you on

496
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: pay per view or wherever we're at as a man, like,

497
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: did you ever have like any like remorse or not

498
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: not remort? Did you ever look at me and say

499
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: what a bitch? Like why do I have to put

500
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: this girl over like I know we had a personal relationship,

501
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: we were friends, but did did like an ego ever

502
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: get to you because a lot of men won't do

503
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: that for the girls. You know, a lot of the

504
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: older old timers, they don't feel like the women belong

505
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: in the ring with them. And so I always got

506
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: nervous because I was just like man Corino's bigger than me,

507
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: Buba's bigger than me, Devon's bigger than me, Hats bigger

508
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: than me.

509
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: But here I am, I'm running out like a lunatic.

510
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing all these cool moves and they have to

511
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: sell for me, and I always felt awful.

512
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: Oh really no. So I always loved the one time

513
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: I remember because we had started doing it around the

514
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 3: loop where like it was promo this something here you come,

515
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 3: you know, we would do our quick match and it one,

516
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: two three, And I remember second guessing myself for a

517
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: second when Paul put me in there with Jazz, and

518
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I guess you know, I'm not looking

519
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: at it the way I thought it was, because I'm thinking, like,

520
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: you know, you and Tommy were interchangeable, Like you know,

521
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 3: if I was in the ring with one of you,

522
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: I was in the ring with both of you, So

523
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: I was I was beating off both your reactions. And

524
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 3: but then then I got to Russell Jazz and I

525
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: was like, I am like the guy that just puts

526
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: the women over. And then like I went out there

527
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 3: with Jazz and then she just kicked the shit out

528
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 3: of me, and I said, you know what, I'm good

529
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: with this. Yeah, let me go back to Franny. Franny

530
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 3: doesn't beat me up. And but no, I always thought

531
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: of him as this way. It was what was the

532
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: situation was Tommy's back was bad and then but like

533
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, like it was just one piece of

534
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: the team on that one, because even in those long

535
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: matches where it was me and Tommy doing the physicality,

536
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: you were a major part of it all the time.

537
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: So it was like, you know, I thought it was

538
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: interchangeable that like here I get to do the promo,

539
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: I get the you know, get the heat on the mic,

540
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: and here's the payoff of you know, you beating me.

541
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: Like my favorite one was, well we did it, and

542
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 3: I want to say it was somewhere in Louisiana with

543
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 3: one main gang and uh, you know they here it

544
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: comes and here's the seven forty seven and you give

545
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: me the DDT and like the place is rocking like

546
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: it's nineteen eighty six minutes south like like I don't know.

547
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: I always thought of like it's more about the reactions

548
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: than like an ego. And I tell my guys that too,

549
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 3: an NX because you know, if you think about like

550
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 3: twenty five years later, it's an amazing learning tool when

551
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: I say, don't worry about what you're doing, like live

552
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: in a moment, have fun with what you're doing, because

553
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 3: like in a year, you could be totally different. You know,

554
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 3: I spent the summer of ninety nine losing you every weekend, right,

555
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: but then a year later I was a world heavyweight champion.

556
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: You know, that's x lestling right there. And I don't

557
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: think that I would have gotten that opportunity to be

558
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: even considered for that if like I didn't have you know,

559
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 3: Paul knew he could always go to you and I,

560
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 3: you know, were we always had fun in the ring,

561
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 3: but we always stuck with it, like you know, stuck

562
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: with the story and everything like that. And you know,

563
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: I felt like it built like more you know, as

564
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 3: trust as Paul can have. But like if build trust

565
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: in Paul like like he's never complaining about putting Francine over.

566
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 3: And you know we would do what sometimes fifteen second

567
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: matches or sometimes it was three minutes and stuff like that.

568
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: But like, I don't know, I always thought we gave

569
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: the people what they came to see. They wanted to

570
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: see me talk, then me get my ass beat, and

571
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 3: it didn't matter if it was you or Tommy, it

572
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 3: was still the same, like anybody that goes back on

573
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 3: the house shows and stuff like that, like tell me

574
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 3: what was the bigger reaction Tommy beating me with the

575
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: DDT or you beating me with the DDT, And it

576
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: was if it wasn't even every night, it was you

577
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 3: were up a little bit like to me as a heel,

578
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 3: like I don't know, I was having the time in

579
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: my life. And then with Jacko out there, and you know,

580
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: it was hilarity because now you know, all of us

581
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: would get back in the car and you know, we

582
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 3: would drive to the next town and like we would

583
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 3: laugh about it and stuff like that. So it was

584
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, I felt like, Wow, I'm in a

585
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: program with all my friends. This is so cool.

586
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: That's the way I thought, too, But I always was

587
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 1: worried about.

588
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: The word I was looking for earlier was resent.

589
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: Like I never wanted the guys to look at me

590
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: and resent me for the what Paul wanted me to

591
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: do out there, you know what I mean. And I'm

592
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: not going to say I didn't enjoy doing it, because

593
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: I did.

594
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: I mean, like you said, I had a.

595
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: Great time, you know, performing, But I just I felt

596
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: like our relationships within that company were so strong, especially.

597
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: The Philly Click, because we had our own.

598
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: Little click that we all hung out and traveled and

599
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, did stuff outside of work. And I never

600
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: wanted you to look at me and resent me for

601
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: you know.

602
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 2: What we had to do in the ring. So I'm

603
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: happy that you feel happy.

604
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 3: I never thought, never in a million, I thought it

605
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 3: was remember before you before I got to do stuff

606
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 3: with you and Tommy, like I was an opening card

607
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: heel that, you know, just not lingering, but just like

608
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: Paul didn't know what he was going to do with

609
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: me at the time and stuff like that, Like to me,

610
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 3: you guys were helping me out with the you know,

611
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: giving me the rub and getting me to the top

612
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,239
Speaker 3: of the car because you know now it was you know,

613
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 3: after that Jerry wanted to do something with me and somebody,

614
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 3: you know, and they you know, I think they saw

615
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: that like I was safe with you, you know, and

616
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: you know, you know I could be trusted in like

617
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: with their bodies too, so like for sure, yeah, and

618
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: I didn't and you never cared about losing, you know.

619
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 3: It's just so good. Yeah, And I think that anybody

620
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: who resents it doesn't understand that, Like we're telling stories

621
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 3: out there and it's the reaction. Like I always believe

622
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 3: that the baby face pop when they defeat like a heel,

623
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 3: like when you defeated me and the crowd would go crazy,

624
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 3: like I always took it like that's part of my
