<v Speaker 1>Most handsome man in the universe, my friend Steve Corino

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>from NXT, which I've been seeing you all over in XT.

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I just saw you as a detective. I saw that,

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes I did, because we follow each other on.

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Socials, right Officer Dick Richardson.

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 2>I saw that. It was. Let me tell you, that

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>was an Oscar winning performance. You were very very stern

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.839
<v Speaker 2>as you let me.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 3>I might quent and become a detective if that's the

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 3>what you're supposed to do it.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I would have been really scared if I was the

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 1>one sitting in that chair, because you were just you were.

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Throwing the book at him. How well, how are you?

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 3>How crazy? How about you?

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing fantastic, can't complain. Very good, very very good.

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>We had a really nice, uh nice holiday, went to

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>PA visited my family, so it was really good. The

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>big gift for my kids we bought them like a

0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>regulation air hockey because they really like air hockey, and

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought, well, it'll get them off their devices and

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>then we can all have tournaments and play. And uh,

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the one well, the one thing I forgot was my daughter.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:13.399
<v Speaker 2>She's fifteen.

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Now, yeah, my daughter's fifteen, my son's twelve, so they're

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>they're getting up there. Yeah, but she's like super competitive.

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>And so am I. But she was like really like

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>trying to hit that puck and she was hitting it

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:37.399
<v Speaker 2>with such force that she bruised. So she's a little

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 2>salty about hurting herself.

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.239
<v Speaker 1>But like they want to win me, and we're playing

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Disney Trivial Pursuit and we're all just like this over

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the table, ready to get each other.

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Like we're very competitive. Yeah yeah, yeah, we have the

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Disney Trivial Pursuit. We're well, we're going.

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>To get into all this because we have some some

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>special stuff coming up together.

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Which all right, how was your holiday, by the way, It.

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 3>Was great, Like I had almost three weeks off. Like

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 3>one of the cool things about NXT is we shut

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 3>down right before Christmas and we don't go back until

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 3>well I go back tomorrow morning. You gotta fly to

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>LA But like it's almost three weeks off and like

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 3>you don't know what to do with yourself, but like

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 3>it had a great time. Like actually went to Florida,

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 3>which was weird considering I wasn't working, and yeah, we

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 3>did like SeaWorld and we did these springs and all that,

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 3>and you know, it had fun. And you know, it's

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 3>just I'm excited to go back to work though, but

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 3>like it was, it was fun having like just a

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 3>fun no stressful Christmas. It was great.

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Three weeks in a row, off three weeks in a row.

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>That's exciting. That's yeah, that's a rarity. So let me

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>just so for NXT, I know you have home base.

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Where you have like the n XT Arena. Is that

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>what you call it?

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>The I don't know what we call it. We just

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 3>called PC. Yeah, I guess it would be the n

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 3>X area.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the X anyway, the where you have

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>your shows, where you tape your your TV.

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Shows and stuff.

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>When I was talking to the girls, when when I

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>was invited to the show last month, and I was

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>talking to the girls, and I was telling them like,

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, everybody's pretty much based in Florida, and they

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>were like, yeah, because that's where you know, we perform

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot.

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>How often do you guys actually travel to do TV?

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:39.239
<v Speaker 3>So right now we're doing like twice a month like this.

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 3>This month we got like La and Atlanta, and then

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 3>in between we're back in Orlando. So I don't I

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 3>don't know if that's like a thing that's going to be,

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, forever or what. But it's fun to get

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 3>out of Orlando every once in a while, get in

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 3>front of a different crowd and stuff like that. And

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 3>but you know, selfishly, I kind of like driving eighteen

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 3>minutes to work every day. So it's good.

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I can imagine, because getting on a plane

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>every weekend, I can't even. I I love working now,

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I pick and choose what I want to do.

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>But when I have like three weekends in a row,

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm grateful for the work, but I'm just like, oh

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>my god, I have to fly three weekends in a row.

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Like it kind of gets to you sometimes. So it

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 1>must be nice to be able to just jump in

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the car and be there.

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, because you know, I fly every week into Orlando,

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 3>right North Carolina. But then now it's like going to La.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm leaving North Carolina to go to La to go

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 3>back to Orlando was in back to North Carolina, so

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 3>it added another little bit of travel for me.

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, well I don't I don't want to talk

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>about it too much because we have so much more

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>to talk about, like fun stuff that I want to cover.

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>But the whole uh you and wwe Because when I

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>heard that you signed there, I was like super happy

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>for you, but then I was like, you know, I didn't.

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I never expected you to end up there.

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Not not that you're not worthy of that position, because

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I always thought you had a great mind for the business,

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>but how did you actually end up working for a

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>next team?

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.919
<v Speaker 3>Behind the scenes, it was It was wild because I

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 3>had basically broken my neck in fifteen, like so like

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 3>I needed the fusion surgery and stuff like that. And

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 3>I got the first call in October of twenty fifteen,

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 3>and Matt Ballute says like, would you like to, you know,

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 3>possibly call him earlier, that's my And I said, yes, sir,

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 3>I would love to, but you know, I just found

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 3>out I needed next surgery and he's like, oh the

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, and clung up on me. No, he didn't

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 3>hang up on me. But that's the story I want

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 3>out there. So they didn't put that right, and so

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 3>like he just said, like, hey, we're going to pass,

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>like you know, our coaches have to get in a

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 3>ring and stuff. I said, oh, so, uh you know,

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 3>probably nine months later he calls me back, he's like,

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 3>they remember that job. He's like, do you like Melick

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 3>shot at him like yeah, yeah, I would love it.

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 3>And then uh I went down for tryout and stuff

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 3>like that, and then tomorrow it'll be eight years.

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 3>The time is why it does. And like the fact

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 3>that the office doesn't know I work there, it's so helpful.

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 3>I just just slide under the radar everywhere.

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know you worked there, and they don't know

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you wrestled.

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 3>No a world champion, they know not. I changed my

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 3>look all the time just to be like a chameleon.

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, ridiculous, of course they know who you are. Get

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>out of here. You're silly, do you do you actually

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 2>have to bump like a lot, not.

0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 3>A lot every once in a while. Yeah, sometimes sometimes

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 3>to prove a point. And uh, my guys, but I

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 3>got like the my guys are the greatest, Like I've

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 3>all the tags and like they're the best, and I

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 3>love it and it's it's it's like it's not going

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 3>to work every day because and I know that's so cliche,

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 3>but like, you know, all are all my guys are

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 3>real tight, and like we have a focus, and the

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 3>focus is you know, them not seeing this mug every

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 3>day and getting the rocks back down and you know,

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, eventually, you know, when I'm you know, pee

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 3>and my pants every day, like they'll pay for my

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 3>GoFundMe or something like that. You know, it'll all circle back,

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 3>but it depends. Yeah, yeah, and uh and then yeah.

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 3>So it's it's just so much fun. And you know,

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 3>to teach tag team wrestling every day, like it's great,

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, t be stressful, so stressful and beating up

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 3>my liver those are worse than the bumps. But like,

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 3>but it's it's so rewarding because as you know, when

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 3>we were wrestling, you know, like we create the match,

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 3>we create the story, we create the scenario. You go

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 3>out and like you're in control, like you know, but

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 3>producing is such a different, you know, such a different thing.

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 3>It's like you help them do this, you do this.

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 3>The second that music comes on, You're like, I have

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 3>no control, you know, you just hope it goes well,

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 3>and you know, I hope I'm not calling the wrong

0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 3>shots to the director and like poor director NXT because

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 3>I always get all the complicated run in and this

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 3>and that, and like you know, I could just I

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 3>can feel the life coming out of them on the

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.199
<v Speaker 3>other end of the headset, like, oh my god, we

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:46.439
<v Speaker 3>gotta put up with Steve again.

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think so. I think everybody admires you.

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's the vibe I got you first of all

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>when I saw you back there.

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 2>You looked like a suit You look super professional.

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, call yeah, that's such a good thing to

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 4>be as cool as a cucumber, right, just like I was.

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Really not not that I'm not impressed with you as

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a person or anything, but seeing you in that element,

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, look, the last time you and I

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>worked together it was in ECW and we were a

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>bunch of goofballs.

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Just yeah, we.

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Were young, we were in our twenties having a good

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>time and which I am dying to get into and

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I will. But I'm just so first of all, I'm

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>happy that I was called to do that only for

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the simple fact that I got to reunite like with

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you and see some people that I hadn't seen in

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 1>like so long.

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>That was like, plus the money. Not gonna lie, that

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>was nice too, to get a pay I did, but just.

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it, you know, because I think I don't dwell

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>on the past, but I do think of my friends often.

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And you and I were just so very close at

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>one point, and then everybody drifts and goes ways, and

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy that we reconnected.

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 2>So I me too.

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, And that was one of the things, like

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't wait to come there because I was like,

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, Steve's going to be there.

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 3>This is so great.

<v Speaker 1>Like you, I thought you hated me, so me and

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>ce Dupe thought you hated us at one point.

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Really, I think that's just the wrestling drift, like you

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 3>don't see each other, especially see something. I talked to

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 3>him every day.

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, well at the at the time, you guys

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 1>weren't really talking.

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Right, yeah, Like we went like a year without talking day.

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, And I love that.

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.719
<v Speaker 1>And and then when I saw you, I texted him

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I don't think there's he He's like,

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>there's not, there's not We're all friends.

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 2>And I was like yay, and I'm just so happy.

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know me my old age, but I just

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't like people not liking.

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 2>If I don't know what I did wrong.

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Like I feel the same way.

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, and I want to reconcile everything. So when

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 2>I saw you.

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, oh, like I saw well, I

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:17.319

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>when you came up to me, you looked like a

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>scared child.

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.000

<v Speaker 3>No. I just you know, I'm horrible in social situation.

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.560
<v Speaker 3>That's why I don't do the conventions much because like

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 3>I just sit there like now I'm thinking, oh my god,

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.480

<v Speaker 2>No, because you want me to start with my first story?

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:18.520

<v Speaker 1>each other, and we know it worked for.

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.480

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 2>We're all trying to like help each other get bookings.

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I remember this, and we lived kind of close in proximity,

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and I said, Hey, Steve, there's this show or this convention.

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to do it with me? And you

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 2>were like yeah.

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, great, they are getting us a hotel. But

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>what I didn't tell Steve is that it wasn't a

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>hotel room. It was a convent, a convent, a convent, right,

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 1>We're not with the Catholic convent where nuns lived, and

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they sponsor, if they were one

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>of the sponsors, but like all the boys were invited

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to stay at the convent. And so I tell Steve,

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 1>we're staying somewhere, but I never told you when.

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 3>And you played it up too. You were like, I

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 3>heard this pretty nice place. You know it's gonna be good,

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, okay, you know, you know pretty won't

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 3>let us down.

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, well, first of all, it was free, so

0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you were like it was free. So all I remember

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and you take it over. We we had directions after

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>this show. I don't know if it was a show

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 1>or convention. We pull up and do you remember it

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>was like a kind of like a hill with like.

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Lit candles, like yeah, lit pathway.

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's where like horror places or horror movies are made, or.

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Tell your side of the story.

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 3>So the way I remember it was, yeah, like I'm like,

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't see the hotel. You're like, well, it's not

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 3>really a hotel. And that's that's when you were like,

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, uh, you know. I think you even tried

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 3>to say it was called like the convent or something

0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 3>like that, like it was some sort of like fair

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Field in or something like that.

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 2>The name of the place they want, the convent.

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, and we went in and I just remember

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 3>there was no food, right and yeah, and then you know,

0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 3>we had to pair off and go and it was

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I slept in much at all.

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.919
<v Speaker 1>No, why would there be food?

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Food? Yeah, but this was common No.

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, see he's he doesn't remember. We had to ring

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the doorbell and then none answered the door.

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.440

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 1>because we were checking the same room.

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:27.399

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Because you're a Catholic. Right I'm Catholic? Yes, like but

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.880

<v Speaker 2>They had to pull a chain and you could only

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 2>go one one at a time. And I was scared

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 2>to death and I was going steep, come whether you go. No,

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:04.119

<v Speaker 2>That's hilarious.

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Was already ruling, and I think Georgia Animal Steel tried

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.120
<v Speaker 3>to sell me on religion that.

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>Day, to see it was meant to be it was

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:27.360
<v Speaker 2>a convert.

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 3>They failed. Yeah, so funny.

<v Speaker 2>What is yours?

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:35.240
<v Speaker 3>My story for you.

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Is, I don't know this one.

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Of course you know this one because I usually start

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:43.359
<v Speaker 3>every day out with this one. Trenton, New Jersey c

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Yo Shu, Yes, okay, I've been with the company three

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 3>months doing nothing but jobs for Nova and Chetty. In

0:21:54.920 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 3>the opening match, Shane is you know where I'm going?

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Shane is hurt. I think it was supposed to be

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Tommy verse Shane, right, and it might not have been

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:11.639
<v Speaker 3>Shane somebody.

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Because if I was already with Tommy, Sheane had left

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the company.

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so somebody else. It was supposedly somebody way cooler

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 3>than me against Tommy and then uh yeah, Tommy goes.

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, uh, this is where our relationship starts.

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 2>We broke up because this is so wrong.

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Where he goes, you know, you know, Dreamer is He's like,

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:38.760
<v Speaker 3>or you can talk on the mic. Yeah, I go

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:43.560
<v Speaker 3>a little bit, and you're like, all right, my back sore,

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Let's do a big promo. You got something. I'm like,

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:51.359
<v Speaker 3>I'll do something. And uh we walk out and you go,

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 3>who am working with? And Dreamers like him? You go,

0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 3>we're working with him.

0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, no, that's not that I had.

0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:07.679
<v Speaker 3>It like, oh no, that is the main event with

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 3>you too. Yeah, that is not like it.

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:16.560
<v Speaker 1>No, I said, we're working with him because the plans

0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>have changed. It was no, it's you so much. It

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>was nothing against you. I liked you. I liked you.

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I just in my mind we were supposed to do

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 1>something else and I was just said, oh, we're working

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:32.360
<v Speaker 1>with him.

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't I think I say we're working with him, no,

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.880
<v Speaker 2>because I wasn't like that, and you know, I wasn't like.

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 3>That was and then we were there. It has so

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 3>much fun, right, all right.

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Well we'll fast forward that because we remember that differently.

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:56.639
<v Speaker 1>I think that you have in your head something completely

0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>different that never happened.

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:03.239
<v Speaker 3>I was like young kid looking for an opportunity. Are

0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:05.080
<v Speaker 3>you too big that's at the top of the card

0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 3>that have been on pay per view? Or like.

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Not at all, not at.

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 1>All, that's not true. I did not say it like that.

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Just everybody know that. I didn't say it like that.

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I was just confused because I was told we were

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 1>working with somebody else, and I was like, oh, we're

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 1>working with him, meaning oh, plans changed.

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:33.720
<v Speaker 2>You're so full of shit, You're so wrong.

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 3>You didn't say, like, do you know what a microphone is?

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't swear he said that. What, No, I'm kidding.

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's talk about you and I.

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Because we we had a hell of a history together

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 1>back in the day.

0:24:47.359 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, did you you have like the greatest winning record versus.

0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, see, now, every guy that I have on from

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:58.399
<v Speaker 1>ECW that I beat up, I always apologize to, and

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I apologize to you when I saw you

0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 1>at NXT.

0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I did.

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:06.359
<v Speaker 3>Later.

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, I used to say it in the back too.

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Are you mad at me?

0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Be like, no, shut up, and I'd be like okay.

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:13.920
<v Speaker 2>It was fun.

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:19.399
<v Speaker 1>But in retrospect when like okay, Like for example, I

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 1>did a round table and I was the only girl

0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 1>on the panel, and across for me at the time

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>was Bruno san Martino. He was one of the guys

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and he looked point blank at me and said women

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 1>do not belong in our business.

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 2>As I'm sitting there, and I was just like, sir,

0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 2>like what do you say?

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:42.240
<v Speaker 1>It's first of all, it's Bruno, Like, I'm not gonna

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 1>and all I said was I respectfully disagree with you.

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:49.760
<v Speaker 1>And that was it because I wasn't going to argue with.

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 3>The guy, but received should I'm against.

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, they see, like when I had like hack on

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and when I had the Dudley's on and so on

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and so forth, I had always asked them, and I'm

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:06.920
<v Speaker 1>going to ask you.

0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Paul made me out to be like this superwoman.

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, And I was like a buck twenty at

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:20.719
<v Speaker 1>the time, which was not really too believable, but I

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 1>had the attitude, and you know, I tried to be

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:24.960
<v Speaker 1>tough and all this stuff.

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:29.440
<v Speaker 3>But and you were over too, So like I believe that,

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 3>not that it puts, you know, weight on, but it

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:36.680
<v Speaker 3>puts legitimacy in the fans of eyes when like you're

0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 3>so over it doesn't matter if you're a buck twenty.

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:41.679
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's you're superwoman.

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so that he made me out to be superwoman.

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:47.879
<v Speaker 1>But when it's you and I and I have to

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 1>beat you up and I have to pin you on

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:54.359
<v Speaker 1>pay per view or wherever we're at as a man, like,

0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:59.480
<v Speaker 1>did you ever have like any like remorse or not

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:03.120
<v Speaker 1>not remort? Did you ever look at me and say

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:05.120
<v Speaker 1>what a bitch? Like why do I have to put

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:08.400
<v Speaker 1>this girl over like I know we had a personal relationship,

0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 1>we were friends, but did did like an ego ever

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 1>get to you because a lot of men won't do

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 1>that for the girls. You know, a lot of the

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:22.640
<v Speaker 1>older old timers, they don't feel like the women belong

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:24.760
<v Speaker 1>in the ring with them. And so I always got

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 1>nervous because I was just like man Corino's bigger than me,

0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Buba's bigger than me, Devon's bigger than me, Hats bigger

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 1>than me.

0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 2>But here I am, I'm running out like a lunatic.

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing all these cool moves and they have to

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 1>sell for me, and I always felt awful.

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:44.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh really no. So I always loved the one time

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:47.879
<v Speaker 3>I remember because we had started doing it around the

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 3>loop where like it was promo this something here you come,

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:54.239
<v Speaker 3>you know, we would do our quick match and it one,

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 3>two three, And I remember second guessing myself for a

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:00.760
<v Speaker 3>second when Paul put me in there with Jazz, and

0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:04.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, I guess you know, I'm not looking

0:28:04.080 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 3>at it the way I thought it was, because I'm thinking, like,

0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, you and Tommy were interchangeable, Like you know,

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 3>if I was in the ring with one of you,

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:13.600
<v Speaker 3>I was in the ring with both of you, So

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 3>I was I was beating off both your reactions. And

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:20.119
<v Speaker 3>but then then I got to Russell Jazz and I

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:22.960
<v Speaker 3>was like, I am like the guy that just puts

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:24.960
<v Speaker 3>the women over. And then like I went out there

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:27.160
<v Speaker 3>with Jazz and then she just kicked the shit out

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 3>of me, and I said, you know what, I'm good

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 3>with this. Yeah, let me go back to Franny. Franny

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:34.920
<v Speaker 3>doesn't beat me up. And but no, I always thought

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 3>of him as this way. It was what was the

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 3>situation was Tommy's back was bad and then but like

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:46.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, like it was just one piece of

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 3>the team on that one, because even in those long

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 3>matches where it was me and Tommy doing the physicality,

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 3>you were a major part of it all the time.

0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 3>So it was like, you know, I thought it was

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 3>interchangeable that like here I get to do the promo,

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 3>I get the you know, get the heat on the mic,

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:05.120
<v Speaker 3>and here's the payoff of you know, you beating me.

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:09.280
<v Speaker 3>Like my favorite one was, well we did it, and

0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:11.880
<v Speaker 3>I want to say it was somewhere in Louisiana with

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 3>one main gang and uh, you know they here it

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 3>comes and here's the seven forty seven and you give

0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 3>me the DDT and like the place is rocking like

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 3>it's nineteen eighty six minutes south like like I don't know.

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 3>I always thought of like it's more about the reactions

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 3>than like an ego. And I tell my guys that too,

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 3>an NX because you know, if you think about like

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 3>twenty five years later, it's an amazing learning tool when

0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.400
<v Speaker 3>I say, don't worry about what you're doing, like live

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 3>in a moment, have fun with what you're doing, because

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:45.920
<v Speaker 3>like in a year, you could be totally different. You know,

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 3>I spent the summer of ninety nine losing you every weekend, right,

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.080
<v Speaker 3>but then a year later I was a world heavyweight champion.

0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:56.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, that's x lestling right there. And I don't

0:29:56.600 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 3>think that I would have gotten that opportunity to be

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 3>even considered for that if like I didn't have you know,

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:09.479
<v Speaker 3>Paul knew he could always go to you and I,

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, were we always had fun in the ring,

0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:16.360
<v Speaker 3>but we always stuck with it, like you know, stuck

0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:19.640
<v Speaker 3>with the story and everything like that. And you know,

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 3>I felt like it built like more you know, as

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 3>trust as Paul can have. But like if build trust

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:31.600
<v Speaker 3>in Paul like like he's never complaining about putting Francine over.

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 3>And you know we would do what sometimes fifteen second

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.600
<v Speaker 3>matches or sometimes it was three minutes and stuff like that.

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 3>But like, I don't know, I always thought we gave

0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 3>the people what they came to see. They wanted to

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 3>see me talk, then me get my ass beat, and

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:48.840
<v Speaker 3>it didn't matter if it was you or Tommy, it

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 3>was still the same, like anybody that goes back on

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:54.960
<v Speaker 3>the house shows and stuff like that, like tell me

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 3>what was the bigger reaction Tommy beating me with the

0:30:57.760 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 3>DDT or you beating me with the DDT, And it

0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:03.040
<v Speaker 3>was if it wasn't even every night, it was you

0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:05.240
<v Speaker 3>were up a little bit like to me as a heel,

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 3>like I don't know, I was having the time in

0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 3>my life. And then with Jacko out there, and you know,

0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 3>it was hilarity because now you know, all of us

0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:16.200
<v Speaker 3>would get back in the car and you know, we

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 3>would drive to the next town and like we would

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 3>laugh about it and stuff like that. So it was

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I felt like, Wow, I'm in a

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 3>program with all my friends. This is so cool.

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>That's the way I thought, too, But I always was

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:28.959
<v Speaker 1>worried about.

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:31.040
<v Speaker 2>The word I was looking for earlier was resent.

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I never wanted the guys to look at me

0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and resent me for the what Paul wanted me to

0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:41.440
<v Speaker 1>do out there, you know what I mean. And I'm

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 1>not going to say I didn't enjoy doing it, because

0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I did.

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like you said, I had a.

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Great time, you know, performing, But I just I felt

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:56.200
<v Speaker 1>like our relationships within that company were so strong, especially.

0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:58.320
<v Speaker 2>The Philly Click, because we had our own.

0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Little click that we all hung out and traveled and

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, did stuff outside of work. And I never

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:09.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted you to look at me and resent me for

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:09.640
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:11.239
<v Speaker 2>What we had to do in the ring. So I'm

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 2>happy that you feel happy.

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:17.360
<v Speaker 3>I never thought, never in a million, I thought it

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 3>was remember before you before I got to do stuff

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 3>with you and Tommy, like I was an opening card

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 3>heel that, you know, just not lingering, but just like

0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Paul didn't know what he was going to do with

0:32:31.440 --> 0:32:34.240
<v Speaker 3>me at the time and stuff like that, Like to me,

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 3>you guys were helping me out with the you know,

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 3>giving me the rub and getting me to the top

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:42.239
<v Speaker 3>of the car because you know now it was you know,

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:45.120
<v Speaker 3>after that Jerry wanted to do something with me and somebody,

0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:48.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, and they you know, I think they saw

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:50.800
<v Speaker 3>that like I was safe with you, you know, and

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, you know I could be trusted in like

0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 3>with their bodies too, so like for sure, yeah, and

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:02.120
<v Speaker 3>I didn't and you never cared about losing, you know.

0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 3>It's just so good. Yeah, And I think that anybody

0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 3>who resents it doesn't understand that, Like we're telling stories

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 3>out there and it's the reaction. Like I always believe

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:17.960
<v Speaker 3>that the baby face pop when they defeat like a heel,

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 3>like when you defeated me and the crowd would go crazy,

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 3>like I always took it like that's part of my

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 3>pop too. If I stink it up on the mic

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 3>and or I take Nicolai bolcock bumbs for you like

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 3>and then you hit your DDT and I take it

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 3>with hit like and they go, you know, like but

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:41.640
<v Speaker 3>like the louder they got, like the more I took

0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 3>pride into like oh that that's mine too, or like

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:47.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, one good heel line if you and Tommy

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:49.480
<v Speaker 3>gave me a line or something like that like that

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I could hit out there, you know, and it hit hard.

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.239
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh that was a great line they

0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 3>gave me, like, you know, they're enjoying the heat too.

0:33:57.240 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, for sure.

0:33:59.040 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I remember this st that I gave you off the Ropes,

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and I just remember us trying it beforehand and you

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 1>were like, yeah, yeah, this is great. Do that and

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I said okay, and we did it, and the place erupted,

0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 1>and I thought when I landed, I kind of looked

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 1>at you and you gave me like a half shitty smile,

0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was like.

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:23.120
