Speaker 1: And now your main events, introducing the hosts Wrestling with
Speaker 1: Freddy Ship hand for ready Prince Soon, Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: welcome to another brand new episode of Wrestling with Freddy,
Speaker 1: also Wrestling with Friends, and here is the news of
Speaker 1: the week, Ladies and gentlemen. The most newsworthy event, probably
Speaker 1: of this entire year, was the fact that the Wrestling
Speaker 1: with Friends podcast went to a w Los Angeles. And
Speaker 1: we'll be spending most of the show talking about how
Speaker 1: awesome that was, Ladies and gentlemen. Here is Wrestling with
Speaker 1: Prince Oh, and I forgot to do good eveninging well
Speaker 1: and we know it, we know it. Nobody's perfect. Man,
Speaker 1: How are you, sir? Good to see feeling good? What
Speaker 1: a week? What a wrestling week? Huh? I think we
Speaker 1: should break down the night step by that. Here's our
Speaker 1: advice for everyone whoever wants to go to a e
Speaker 1: W leave early. Let's start a story time with Uncle
Speaker 1: Freddy and Uncle Jeffrey. Ready, we decided to go to
Speaker 1: this show. I think we were five deep and jeff said, hey,
Speaker 1: I'll I'll meet you at your house and we can
Speaker 1: car pool together. And so he was nice enough to
Speaker 1: drive to my house and even nicer. Two cruise in
Speaker 1: the family minivan instead of his super cool car and
Speaker 1: the minivans. It's nice, but it's still a minivan. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we drive to the l a Forum. I don't
Speaker 1: know what they call it now, they call it something
Speaker 1: new now, but this is where the Lakers used to
Speaker 1: play back in the olden times, as Jeff and I
Speaker 1: would say, the old olden times. So we get there,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be there early because we want to
Speaker 1: watch Ryan Nemtt, the Hollywood hunk, wrestle in a e
Speaker 1: W dark because he's a homie and he's awesome. So
Speaker 1: we leave early. Man, we're gonna get there, and then uh,
Speaker 1: I missed this one turn, this one freaking turn right
Speaker 1: by the forum too. It wasn't like it was like
Speaker 1: on the freeway or something. Were right there with figures.
Speaker 1: Who cares. We can see where we're going now. Granted
Speaker 1: we probably wouldn't have gotten a spot anyway, however, however,
Speaker 1: it would have been nice to know. But I blew
Speaker 1: the turn. There's no way in. And then we see, uh,
Speaker 1: parking lot full everywhere, and they say, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to Uh, you don't have to park at Sofi Stadium,
Speaker 1: which I've never I've never been to. The wife's been
Speaker 1: there a bunch of Rams games and stuff, but I'm
Speaker 1: a Raiders fans to screw the rams um. So we
Speaker 1: have to park at Sofi Stadium, which isn't that far,
Speaker 1: but we're for sure missing the dark match. So we park,
Speaker 1: don't know quarter mile away, maybe quartermine and we're walking
Speaker 1: up and we meet our group and Jeff's always keeping
Speaker 1: it happy even though we're late. He's like, yeah, baby,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go. We're gonna see the whole We're gonna
Speaker 1: see the whole show. So I can't really get mad
Speaker 1: because he's not mad. So we get there and our
Speaker 1: group is you, Me, Gina from G four, Alicia Marie
Speaker 1: who came with me last year, and Matt Cohen who
Speaker 1: came with me last year. McCauley couldn't come. He went
Speaker 1: to Disneyland with the family because he's a nice dad.
Speaker 1: Last minute Disney trip. We get to the show and Jeff,
Speaker 1: you jump in at any point here, But the first
Speaker 1: thing I hear is let me buy you a beer,
Speaker 1: And that was from Gina, and that put me in
Speaker 1: a good mood right away, So take it from there,
Speaker 1: you went to the bar. Talk to me about the bar, tab,
Speaker 1: talk to me about the did you get a cocktail?
Speaker 1: Didn't just go beer? Me and Gina had some shots
Speaker 1: and then and we all had giant twenty four rounds
Speaker 1: beers walking too. The We hadn't even seen any wrestling yet.
Speaker 1: I got a good buzz going. We got We took
Speaker 1: it up a notch. Also, every time I've ever been
Speaker 1: to a wrestling match right, which because I've always claimed
Speaker 1: I don't like live wrestling, I was wrong. I love
Speaker 1: live right. I just changed everything for me because we
Speaker 1: we we walk in and we can barely see not
Speaker 1: barely see the ring, but in in baseball, the baseball
Speaker 1: field is very big. In football, the football field is
Speaker 1: very big, and basketball court is pretty big. But the
Speaker 1: wrestling ring is so small. So everything seems like a
Speaker 1: little farther away. And as we're walking, we just keep
Speaker 1: getting closer and closer. And I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know where these tickets are, but this is incredible. Before
Speaker 1: you know it, we're right in the front room. I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. It was easily the best seeds I've
Speaker 1: ever had. It was like Christmas. I was like going,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, they're right here. I get to see
Speaker 1: the rest of like we're like right on the front front.
Speaker 1: It was I was super overstimulated. I felt like a
Speaker 1: little kid. I was like, that's it's easily the most
Speaker 1: excited I've been and probably I don't know, seven or
Speaker 1: eight years. I was like, that's just crazy. We're right here.
Speaker 1: I was telling big al Alex our prducer, like, I
Speaker 1: did realize that I'm a giant compared to wrestlers. It's
Speaker 1: compared to most humans, bro, are you talking about these
Speaker 1: wrestlers are supposed to be supposed to be big beasts,
Speaker 1: and like there was like only one wrestler was bigger
Speaker 1: than me. It was Morrissey, um, but everyone else was
Speaker 1: like very I'm bigger than or at least taller than
Speaker 1: most wrestlers and all the way taller than me. It's weird,
Speaker 1: but it's weird. That's the only part that I was
Speaker 1: surprised about. I was like, man, they are all like
Speaker 1: little muscular, short guys. They'll still hit you with an
Speaker 1: Irish whip and then clothesline you blah blow and you'd
Speaker 1: be on the ground. Oh god, what they can still
Speaker 1: take me out for sure. I will say about the
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium in the forum thing is like, you know,
Speaker 1: like you can see the forums, so we're like, no
Speaker 1: big deal, right, it's right there. But it's kind of
Speaker 1: like in those It's like in old times when you're like, oh, look,
Speaker 1: well look we can see the castle. We must be
Speaker 1: close and you're like, no, that's a three day ride.
Speaker 1: You can see your destination. Well, it's super far away.
Speaker 1: I totally know what you feel like. It's there, like,
Speaker 1: I know, but right there, still pretty far. That's what
Speaker 1: I felt like. I just kept walking there. That's eleven
Speaker 1: miles away. That's but what a day man it was.
Speaker 1: Did you know that you were gonna be on the show? Yes?
Speaker 1: And no. I mean the man who talked smacked to
Speaker 1: me was the reason we were sitting front row. So
Speaker 1: I take that as going to a comedy club, right,
Speaker 1: If you sit in the front, you're you're expecting some interaction, right,
Speaker 1: and it's a safe place for it, and you're there
Speaker 1: to take it. And if you can't take it, don't
Speaker 1: sit there. So I thought he might do something because
Speaker 1: he and I have a better relationship. We're talking about
Speaker 1: MJF because he and I have a better relationship than
Speaker 1: the first l A show. I went to, UM, so
Speaker 1: I thought something was coming. I will say this. I
Speaker 1: knew something was coming because he texted me before the show, Hey,
Speaker 1: is mac gonna make it McCauley, And I was like, no,
Speaker 1: He's going to Disney and he's like, all right, cool.
Speaker 1: And the only reason he asked and I knew that
Speaker 1: I was he's gonna He's gonna go in and so
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, he's got some stuff on me.
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna hit me with something. I didn't
Speaker 1: know Dr Ken was going to be there, so I
Speaker 1: was like as soon as he was standing, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's about to get it. Was like your guy who
Speaker 1: won the Golden Globe, dude, the guy from Freaking I
Speaker 1: the Tanya Harding movie. What was that called Tanya? He
Speaker 1: was the bodyguard, the fake bodyguard of that dude. That
Speaker 1: guy is so money. That guy is so money. I
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna go in on him. Um, who
Speaker 1: else did I there was someone else there? I thought
Speaker 1: I was going to go in on but show. So
Speaker 1: they didn't want Paul walter Houser to be on that show.
Speaker 1: They didn't want it to look like he was. That
Speaker 1: was the night Show. Yeah, got you, got you, got you,
Speaker 1: got you. So he probably so well. Someone went in
Speaker 1: on him on the second show for sure. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I uh, we can just talk about that segment. He
Speaker 1: was also the lead of Richard Jewell, which was like,
Speaker 1: such was stinking great movie. He should have won everything.
Speaker 1: He's such a good actor, dude. But yeah, So that
Speaker 1: wrestler that we talked about months ago, Kana Scape, came
Speaker 1: out and I really like this guy. Dude, like he's
Speaker 1: got personality when he wrestles, and he's gonna wrestle Brian Danielson.
Speaker 1: And the story that Danielson is in is he can't
Speaker 1: lose before said date, I don't remember what it is.
Speaker 1: And if he wins all his matches up until that point,
Speaker 1: then he gets to wrestle m JF for the championship
Speaker 1: and so he can't lose no matter what. And so
Speaker 1: kinda sca is out there and m JF comes out
Speaker 1: and he started, he takes he takes his moment. Man,
Speaker 1: he said, he steals his shine a spotlight because he's
Speaker 1: the champ. You're not the champ, You're just some dude
Speaker 1: from New Japan Pro Wrestling. You can sit there and
Speaker 1: look at the champ while I show you how to
Speaker 1: cut a promo. And so he takes the mic and
Speaker 1: he starts trash talking to him and he says, you know,
Speaker 1: in this country, we speak American. Didn't even say English,
Speaker 1: trying to get us chant going after that, but it
Speaker 1: was not well received. It was such a heel move, bro,
Speaker 1: I go, he's right, you legit. No one else chanted
Speaker 1: it with you. You're the only one. So he starts
Speaker 1: going in on him, and then my man in perfect
Speaker 1: English says basically says, oh, you want to know what
Speaker 1: I just said. I just said you could kiss my ass,
Speaker 1: And the crowd says yeah, and so he takes the
Speaker 1: mic bag he starts barking at the crowd, and that's
Speaker 1: when he goes in on your guy Ken. I saw
Speaker 1: you guys say hello, to which I know you guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm buddies with Kenn. So yeah, he went in and
Speaker 1: he said, oh, you might remember him from his show
Speaker 1: super Cool Dr Ken. I don't know what the name
Speaker 1: of his show, goes, well, he's super cool. He goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. It was canceled, and and Dr Kenny sells not.
Speaker 1: He's like, what kick your grafts man? That's the look
Speaker 1: that he had on his face. And Jeff was like,
Speaker 1: oh that's my friend. Why And the rest of us
Speaker 1: that were there we just like him, so we were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: why And then he cuts in on me and he starts,
Speaker 1: you say it. I mean, I didn't appreciate talking about it.
Speaker 1: He comes out talk about it, comes out all short.
Speaker 1: First of all, m JF comes out all short and
Speaker 1: talking track. Yeah, I don't know, I don't like that.
Speaker 1: He's you know, I've changed my position on MJF now
Speaker 1: that he talked trash about you. You know this is
Speaker 1: it's still real to me. Damn it. You know that's
Speaker 1: how I feel. And he goes out, there goes, we
Speaker 1: got some celebrities in the house. He makes fun of
Speaker 1: Ken Jong and then he comes over and he goes
Speaker 1: and Freddie Prince Jr. And then the crowd pops because
Speaker 1: you know you're a good guy. Everyone loves you, and
Speaker 1: they put you on camera. Everyone's happy. Corn stars were
Speaker 1: taking photos. I've a proof of that. There's a Portanstree
Speaker 1: named Jordan Max who was posting about you looks she
Speaker 1: saw she saw you over there, and she's friends with
Speaker 1: the young Bucks. That's why she had like good seats
Speaker 1: that were real close right by Ken Jong good old
Speaker 1: j Max. I think that I show she dated like
Speaker 1: Matt Riddle and she knows Jericho. She was like somehow
Speaker 1: like really incentwined in all the wrestling. She knows all
Speaker 1: the wrestlers. It's pretty cool. Jealous of her. Um, so
Speaker 1: then you know, everyone cheers for you, and then he
Speaker 1: basically goes, uh, yeah he was in the movie. She's
Speaker 1: all that, and the crowd pops for that too, and
Speaker 1: then he goes. But I don't know, I never saw
Speaker 1: it because I was born in nineteen nineties six. I'm
Speaker 1: not a dinosaur, which is not such a money line. Bro.
Speaker 1: I love that. I don't know, really just proves yeah,
Speaker 1: which is yeah, being young is good and being old sucks.
Speaker 1: You're young. You thought that too, You just don't now
Speaker 1: because you're catching up to me. But most of the
Speaker 1: crowd is going where we all saw she's all that crazy.
Speaker 1: Well he's shopping on everybody. I guess that's true. And
Speaker 1: then he goes, uh, he goes. And when I was young,
Speaker 1: all I know from is uh, he worked with a
Speaker 1: c G I Dog. No, he said, I was the
Speaker 1: side kiss, sidekick to a c G I c G I.
Speaker 1: That's what made it her cartoon dog. And then he
Speaker 1: goes because to me, you're nothing more than a Scooby
Speaker 1: Dooby douche bag. And that do you know what that was? It?
Speaker 1: It's a would have been my Tommy My Tommy Hearns
Speaker 1: moment when Bret Hart calls him out in Detroit and
Speaker 1: he's like, there's only room for one hit man in
Speaker 1: the city of Detroit. And he's standing right here and
Speaker 1: he's like, but if you want to prove yourself, and
Speaker 1: before he can finish the sentence, hit Man Herns is
Speaker 1: like over the rail boom in the ring. He's standing
Speaker 1: right there. This is evil Brett Hart when he was
Speaker 1: still with the Hard Foundation, and Jim Avil Knightheart's like,
Speaker 1: what what you gonna do? What you gonna do, sucker?
Speaker 1: And then tom Me hit man. Hearn's finally heard enough
Speaker 1: and by bow and then it's like almost double right hand,
Speaker 1: babe bye, and Hanvil goes down and Brett Hart's like,
Speaker 1: God damn, that's what should have had would have been
Speaker 1: sick if you just like like come over here, like
Speaker 1: if you just took it mad, you took it like
Speaker 1: a good guy, you know, you just wore it. You
Speaker 1: just the end. It hurt the end heard I said,
Speaker 1: what what? Because he called me a douche man. You know.
Speaker 1: Also I was I was talking about this before the thing.
Speaker 1: But if you listen to the clip and the clips
Speaker 1: on Twitter, the clips on Think, maybe you could find
Speaker 1: the clip on YouTube. You can hear me yelling at
Speaker 1: him for you for making fun of you. Because I'm
Speaker 1: so close to the cameraman. He couldn't avoid me. The camera. Guys,
Speaker 1: he zoomed in on here. He's got you, and my
Speaker 1: stupid head is right by the camera because your friend
Speaker 1: was by you, and then I was by your friend,
Speaker 1: and so my mouth is right next to where the cameras.
Speaker 1: I was like, careful, careful, m JF. That's too far,
Speaker 1: Like I'm like going crazy, which I was like, really
Speaker 1: messing with the flow of the some of the wrestlers,
Speaker 1: I feel like a little bit because I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to go to more house shows
Speaker 1: to understand how used to that really really are. Because
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is like heckling. I'm heckling
Speaker 1: basically like no man, the crowd is genuinely part of it,
Speaker 1: a part of the show, like the Seattle football fans
Speaker 1: are genuinely the eleventh or twelfth man on the field.
Speaker 1: What however, many people there's a there's a different energy
Speaker 1: to it. It's not like the theater in that regard. Uh, Well,
Speaker 1: stand up comedy is more nowadays than ever, but Santa
Speaker 1: Company shouldn't have to be like that. But wrestling has
Speaker 1: this crowd interaction that since the nineties has become a
Speaker 1: major well kfbe since forever, right, because the wrestlers would
Speaker 1: listen to the crowd and that's when they would like
Speaker 1: hit certain spots and fight out of a submission, and
Speaker 1: then they'd hear the crowd get excited and he'd be like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shut it down, and the crowds like, no,
Speaker 1: shut down again, And it's almost when they don't believe that.
Speaker 1: I So after the nineties they were kind of in
Speaker 1: on it and acknowledged by the business that they were
Speaker 1: in on it. So the participation became different. They wanted
Speaker 1: to like verbally be acknowledged that they were changing the
Speaker 1: tide of a match, right, And so that's why they
Speaker 1: would start, you know, boom, Yeah, when the punchers would
Speaker 1: go back and forth, you know what I mean, they
Speaker 1: want to let you know they hate that guy and
Speaker 1: they love that or they'd start You can't wrestle chance
Speaker 1: if they wanted you off the brand completely. All kinds
Speaker 1: of crazy stuff. So at house shows you don't have to.
Speaker 1: I'll put it to you this way. I went to
Speaker 1: one years ago, almost twenty years ago with Karen Culkin,
Speaker 1: Matt Caulkin, Rory Culkin, who was just a little mug
Speaker 1: at the time, myself, and this dude Angelo. So it
Speaker 1: was hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes. This was right when
Speaker 1: Cody was gonna debut on Monday Night Rob so back
Speaker 1: in the day against whoever they were wrestling, and they
Speaker 1: were good guys in this scenario, and we're sitting ringside
Speaker 1: just as close as you and I were at a
Speaker 1: e W and hardcore Holly throws this dude it might
Speaker 1: have been Brian Kendrick and Paul London that they were
Speaker 1: wrestling against. Brian Kendricks a smaller guy, and he throws
Speaker 1: him into the turn buckle and he hits him with
Speaker 1: this chop that Jeff, I'm telling you. The arena was
Speaker 1: quiet when he hit the turn buckle, so the chop
Speaker 1: when it hit and slapped against this man's chest was
Speaker 1: just like a whip crack, like wh and the whole
Speaker 1: crowd goes, oh god because you know it hurt, right,
Speaker 1: and the wrestlers are into this, right, and he hits
Speaker 1: him again blah blah blah, and the whole crowds like,
Speaker 1: oh God, and Karen goes fucking hit him again, and
Speaker 1: a hardcore Holly look to ride at Kieran Culkin and goes,
Speaker 1: you want another one, Culkin? You got it Because it's
Speaker 1: a house show. There's a TV cameras, so it's all good.
Speaker 1: And he just chops Kendrick one more time. Wow Wow,
Speaker 1: and Kendrick just slumps down into the turn buckle like, Yo,
Speaker 1: you ain't shopping again, bro, I'm gonna play the Ko role.
Speaker 1: And it was this like wild interaction that I hadn't
Speaker 1: really seen at a house show before because I hadn't
Speaker 1: worked for the company yet. This was about a year
Speaker 1: before I took the job. And uh, I mean even
Speaker 1: it was even crazier at the end. It was d
Speaker 1: x uh. It was Sean Michaels and and Triple h
Speaker 1: in the main event and they beat up someone and
Speaker 1: at the end of the match just was like hey
Speaker 1: to me and Mac were like, hey, climb over the
Speaker 1: rail and come backstage with us. And we were just like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess we'll do that then, and so we just
Speaker 1: climbed over and our group climbed over with us, and
Speaker 1: he met all of Max. But he's like, how many
Speaker 1: fucking brothers do you have? That's my triple aged voice over.
Speaker 1: How many fucking brothers do you have? Bro? And Mac
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, this is it. I don't know
Speaker 1: that many brothers until just now when you tell the story.
Speaker 1: I didn't even name all his brothers. He has an
Speaker 1: older brother, two younger brothers, and rest her rest in peace.
Speaker 1: His sister passed away a few years ago, Dakota. But
Speaker 1: so he's like the middle Yeah, and he named after
Speaker 1: his sister, Yes, he did, because I know it's that's
Speaker 1: pretty cool that yeah man. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. He's a
Speaker 1: good dude, and he's good to his family. I mean, they're,
Speaker 1: you know, a crazy family. So they fight, and so
Speaker 1: you know, they'll hate each other for like a couple
Speaker 1: of months and then hate everyone else, but their family
Speaker 1: for the next two years and then have another two
Speaker 1: month fight. But that's like family. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Is well, the reason I said that I felt like
Speaker 1: I was missing messing with some of the wrestler's flows
Speaker 1: a little bit because like m Cold came out and
Speaker 1: did that huge prom and he's like, I've got good
Speaker 1: news and I've got bad news, and I was like,
Speaker 1: we ate bad news, and then he's like, let's shut up.
Speaker 1: Did well he didn't say that. I felt like there
Speaker 1: was like this thing and then he did. He did
Speaker 1: the whole thing, and then I was like, that's the
Speaker 1: good news because just like it kept like hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, we gotta we gotta back up.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that. We're gonna get to that.
Speaker 1: So so he talks all his trash and he got
Speaker 1: you know, he did such a good job at talking
Speaker 1: ship that he legit got the crowd to do a
Speaker 1: Freddie chance yeah, And I was like, legit yelling Freddy,
Speaker 1: They've never done that at the w w E show.
Speaker 1: They didn't do it at the last a w show.
Speaker 1: Like it takes someone shifting on you to make the
Speaker 1: crowd going, oh, that's hard. Have you so shout out
Speaker 1: to everyone who who was in on that I love
Speaker 1: you guys. Let the hardcore know that I'm a nice guy.
Speaker 1: They know that I just love wrestling and wrestling, so
Speaker 1: that was cool. And then Bryan Danielson, I didn't have
Speaker 1: to jump the ring and engage in violence because the
Speaker 1: damsel in distress that I was at the time, he knew.
Speaker 1: He knew, he knew, he was on the first guys
Speaker 1: I worked with at w W E he knew. But anyway,
Speaker 1: he was like, enough is enough and he ran out
Speaker 1: of the ring and you could see the look on
Speaker 1: his face. He was like, this one's for Freddie. You
Speaker 1: could see it, and if you were watching on TV,
Speaker 1: you could see it. And then he jumps in the ring.
Speaker 1: He scares M MJ. Brand like Carl Lewis back in
Speaker 1: the Olympics. He was like. And then Brian Danilson probably
Speaker 1: dedicated the match to me and probably do your guy
Speaker 1: Ken too, probably, but more more likely me, just me
Speaker 1: and uh and maybe your porn star friend and me
Speaker 1: and me. He probably dedicated to me. I was really
Speaker 1: one messing with everybody's flowing. You're stable, I mean you're stable,
Speaker 1: so us not not After that week, and then he
Speaker 1: fought and he wrestled, and he won because he has
Speaker 1: to win, because if those two don't wrestle, it would
Speaker 1: be a damn shame. So everyone pray to your gods,
Speaker 1: sacrifice you know, goats and well not like your first born,
Speaker 1: whatever you can say, sacrifice virgins, virgin goats. Sacrifice your
Speaker 1: virgin goats, and pray that both men stay healthy so
Speaker 1: that we can get this match. We deserve this match, importantly,
Speaker 1: they deserve this match. It's gonna be awesome. So everyone
Speaker 1: hoped for that. Now, I thought we were going to
Speaker 1: get the return or not the return to debut of
Speaker 1: Sasha Banks in a e W. That's what I thought
Speaker 1: was going to be the special surprise. And I didn't
Speaker 1: say anything to anybody that I invited to the event.
Speaker 1: I'd say, even you, I didn't say anything to you. Nothing.
Speaker 1: I really thought she was gonna debut, and uh, we
Speaker 1: got a different debut. Instead, we got the return at
Speaker 1: last of Adam Cold Baby and the Music Kid and
Speaker 1: the crowd. The crowd went crazy, crazy, they love Adam Cole.
Speaker 1: And then he started his promo with I've got some
Speaker 1: good news and some bad news and Jeff I'll let
Speaker 1: you take it from this. I just I just yelled
Speaker 1: very loudly, and since I'm in the front, I was like,
Speaker 1: we hate bad news. And I kind of felt like
Speaker 1: I was performing for the people behind us, just like
Speaker 1: trying to make them laugh. Actually, I've just remembered the
Speaker 1: different thing. My mind is all over the place. When um,
Speaker 1: Michael or when m JF said something, Um, he was like,
Speaker 1: he'sa he dissed the Japanese guy, and he's like, because
Speaker 1: all I care about is banging rats. He was talking
Speaker 1: about like any reference. Remember. Then I turned around, was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: ring rats, ring rats. I try to get their ring
Speaker 1: rats chances. And I just watched all these like cool parents,
Speaker 1: they like some of them have their kids with them,
Speaker 1: and they're just like shaking their head at me, Like Jesus,
Speaker 1: this guy, bro, you did not get a single chance going,
Speaker 1: not one. They were all the worst chance, by the way,
Speaker 1: like the worst chance, the worst possible time, just a horrible,
Speaker 1: awful Jeff die. And I was so proud of the
Speaker 1: community that they did not support you. And they were laughing.
Speaker 1: They were laughing, They're like, this guy's a rascal. It
Speaker 1: was fun, but all your chance so then or so
Speaker 1: Adam colds doing the whole thing. Man, you know what
Speaker 1: I love about wrestling fans. Wrestling fans can be tough,
Speaker 1: but one thing I love is even if they don't
Speaker 1: there's such were such marks for for if we know
Speaker 1: what's going to be said a catchphrase or you know,
Speaker 1: like the restling fans will hate Enzoo more. They hate
Speaker 1: him so much. But when he goes, when he goes,
Speaker 1: you know, it goes through his thing like in these
Speaker 1: said been football and they do the whole thing, like
Speaker 1: since they nobody's gonna say, the whole stadium does it.
Speaker 1: And so it goes home thinking they all love me.
Speaker 1: It's like no, no, all they just really loved that.
Speaker 1: They know the thing you're gonna say. They love a
Speaker 1: catchphrase and so like Adam Cole and they're a part
Speaker 1: of the show. And Adam Cole coming out there every
Speaker 1: time he did the bed like all that, like I
Speaker 1: mean everything was it was electric in there, Like it
Speaker 1: was really really really exciting and like you could feel
Speaker 1: the energy out said he could feel it through the TV.
Speaker 1: But like it was just such a good feeling in there.
Speaker 1: Adam Cole comes out, talks about how he's coming back,
Speaker 1: and the bad news is he's not going anywhere, because
Speaker 1: I I think everyone thought that maybe the bad news
Speaker 1: was going to be that he's leaving, right or retiring
Speaker 1: or well. I think look, once he came out, if
Speaker 1: that was a retirement, with the pop he got, like
Speaker 1: the the energy and the crowd would have just died,
Speaker 1: like the energy of the show would have died. And
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. Yeah, And I feel like Tony con is
Speaker 1: slick enough to recognize at so it had to feel good, right.
Speaker 1: But for a second there, like when he was talking
Speaker 1: about and this was real stuff that I guess he
Speaker 1: was going through. I didn't like talk to him about this,
Speaker 1: but I I know he was out for concussion reasons
Speaker 1: and a e W feels like they talk a lot
Speaker 1: of real stuff in there, and he was he was
Speaker 1: talking about not being able to sleep and and waking
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night and his wife,
Speaker 1: who's also a wrestler, Britt Baker whose money by the way,
Speaker 1: she's one of the female pillars that the women's division
Speaker 1: is built on and the first one probably um how
Speaker 1: she was worried, sick and terrifying, like it didn't just
Speaker 1: affect him it affected his family. Concussions are scary crap.
Speaker 1: I've had a couple. Uh So for a second there,
Speaker 1: I'm like even I got tricked, you know, because we're
Speaker 1: there in the crowd in the moment, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: there's no way he would come out here and make
Speaker 1: this speech toward like we're all gonna be like like,
Speaker 1: there's no freaking way. And then I was like, no,
Speaker 1: he's there's no way. And then when he said in
Speaker 1: the bad news is for everybody else in the locker
Speaker 1: room because I'm gonna beat your fucking and he was
Speaker 1: like talking, I was gonna not cussing. I've been cussing
Speaker 1: this whole episode. So he goes in and everyone's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a bad with all bad news now, and they
Speaker 1: went bananas for him. I was so happy for He's
Speaker 1: a nice guy man. I met him at a convention
Speaker 1: in Detroit and they were like a couple of Ruby
Speaker 1: Riot was there too, a Ruby Soho was there as well,
Speaker 1: and he was so nice and and we just talked
Speaker 1: wrestling for like twenty five minutes, and he was so
Speaker 1: generous with with his knowledge and his experience, and because
Speaker 1: all I do was ask like fifty questions and like
Speaker 1: ten minutes um and he just like was breaking down
Speaker 1: like his philosophy on it, and then he got hurt.
Speaker 1: Like right after that. I was just like, no, dude,
Speaker 1: I just fell in love with this guy. So it
Speaker 1: was nice to hear him that. That was a great
Speaker 1: feel good moment, but there was some feel bad moment too.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, he's one of those wrestlers
Speaker 1: that I feel like it's similar to. And I might
Speaker 1: be wrong, but there's there's a bunch of wrestlers who
Speaker 1: are like Adam Cole who loved wrestling their whole life
Speaker 1: and now they're like the biggest wrestlers like that. They
Speaker 1: just it's like they knew to young like trying to
Speaker 1: think of the other people, like the Jericho is probably
Speaker 1: like that. The young Bucks are definitely like that. But
Speaker 1: there's these guys who just like since since youth like us,
Speaker 1: that wrestling was their biggest thing, their favorite thing to watch,
Speaker 1: and now they are the wrestlers that people. I just
Speaker 1: love that those kind of stories. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: long list too, man. That goes from Bailey that goes
Speaker 1: to a jungle Boy. When you see like video of
Speaker 1: him and his dad Luke Perry at like old school
Speaker 1: w W E matches and then this undersized guy who's
Speaker 1: always going to be compared to his dad is like,
Speaker 1: I don't care, man, I'm going for it's my dream.
Speaker 1: And then you see it, like there's so many of
Speaker 1: them like that. Now I'll send videos to the handful
Speaker 1: of wrestlers that I'm buddies with of like old school
Speaker 1: stuff and they'll just go on a full on like
Speaker 1: history instructional direct message. That's pretty cool. It's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: this was too cool Scorpio when he made the music
Speaker 1: video and it was made in Dada Dada in nineteen two,
Speaker 1: and but w c W two cool is way better
Speaker 1: than w W And I'm just like, holy crap, you
Speaker 1: love wrestling as a kid and that's now what you do.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think there's there's a lot of them
Speaker 1: for real. Had a funny line where he goes where
Speaker 1: he said he goes, I was trained from legends like
Speaker 1: Disco Inferno, Like when other than the first one is
Speaker 1: the name I remember, like like such a funny thing
Speaker 1: that that was the first legend that a reference, which
Speaker 1: is like hardly even a legend. Just go in front.
Speaker 1: That's why he does it. He reminds me of Piper Man,
Speaker 1: and that's like his I think that's his inspiration as
Speaker 1: far as heal. Work goes as rowdy, roddy Piper, and
Speaker 1: he comes off like him. I'd say, you know, forty
Speaker 1: ft of the time when he's out there, it's just
Speaker 1: like it's not full possession, but he just steals all
Speaker 1: these great little energies and little quirks that Piper had
Speaker 1: that just make it make everything he does more special,
Speaker 1: The little ad libs he does when he's working with
Speaker 1: the crowd and kind of going off whatever he had
Speaker 1: in his head, like all that's very just organic and
Speaker 1: natural like Piper was. The Piper was a good actor
Speaker 1: as well. Outside of w W E of that ability.
Speaker 1: And Hell Comes to Frogtown? Have you seen that? Hell
Speaker 1: Comes to Frogtown? Is my favorite worst movie. That's every
Speaker 1: if you know, you haven't seen it, And if anyone listening,
Speaker 1: what do you do in a horror movie? It's is
Speaker 1: it a horror movie? It's supposed to be like an
Speaker 1: action movie, but the premises preposterous. The premises that like
Speaker 1: in the future, frog people have started to take over Earth,
Speaker 1: but they're not even real frogs. They're just like frog
Speaker 1: heads with like human bodies, similar to that frog lady
Speaker 1: from Mandalorian, but like they're all like that, you know,
Speaker 1: there's all these like for pomor Thic or whatever you
Speaker 1: say it frog people. And and Roddy Roddy Piper is
Speaker 1: a felon. He's like a really really bad guy and
Speaker 1: he's been locked up and put in prison. But he's
Speaker 1: one of the most fertile people in the world, so
Speaker 1: he's allowed to leave prison. What Yeah, he's allowed to
Speaker 1: leave prison as under the circumstances that when he sees
Speaker 1: a human woman that he wants to mate with, he
Speaker 1: has to go and pregnate her. And so he's got
Speaker 1: these two sexy like prison guard ladies that are like
Speaker 1: they keep him, like, you know, keep him under control
Speaker 1: because he's dangerous. But then yeah, then when he sees
Speaker 1: the when he sees a woman and they're like, all right,
Speaker 1: go get her, and he's like and he goes like
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's insane. He basically way. Also, he
Speaker 1: wears a chastity belt that the front part opens when
Speaker 1: he gets turned on. But what's the point of a
Speaker 1: chastis belt? If it just opens up the second you
Speaker 1: get it's the what a weird movie? It's the weirdest movies. Like, wait,
Speaker 1: so he's just allowed to be salt these ladies, and
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, he's gotta he's gotta impregnate the world.
Speaker 1: We gotta spread more humans. Okay, well hold on now
Speaker 1: you said something earlier in this absolutely beautiful and flawless
Speaker 1: description of this film. I'm watching this ship tonight. It's
Speaker 1: really good. Okay, so you said one thing in there
Speaker 1: he has to mate with a woman if they want
Speaker 1: to mate with him. Was that nice, Jeff d or
Speaker 1: is that an actual part of no? I said, if
Speaker 1: he wants to mate with them? If if he's if
Speaker 1: he's interested, like because because the whole time I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: like why does he just hook up with these prison
Speaker 1: guards but evidently like he doesn't like them or whatever.
Speaker 1: I think he does hook up with one of them,
Speaker 1: but it's not like a pot. This isn't yeah he's
Speaker 1: a he's a savage. And also like but it makes
Speaker 1: no sense, like Roddy Piper, like like who wrote this
Speaker 1: movie or like how it works is like very very strange. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm deep diving this as soon as the po it's
Speaker 1: very very good, and it was so it was like
Speaker 1: I don't remember why, but they tried to make a
Speaker 1: sequel and none of the people at turn, none of
Speaker 1: the actors agreed to come back. They're all like, I'm
Speaker 1: not touching it. I'm not gonna be in this movie.
Speaker 1: They were like, they're like, forget it. That ruined my career.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be in another movie like that.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to Wrestling with Freddy. It's awesome, even
Speaker 1: good like the posters of it, like like even just
Speaker 1: like the art that they have for the movies, like,
Speaker 1: I mean it all it's insane. Jeff, I'm all over this.
Speaker 1: I'm all over there. And that was the best review
Speaker 1: of a movie ever. And I think we should all
Speaker 1: watch it. And if this episode gets enough downloads, I
Speaker 1: don't know how to check that. I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: bus right now, then we'll all do a watch along
Speaker 1: live on Instagram. No we won't. I'm watching by myself.
Speaker 1: The female frog lead is supposed to be like this
Speaker 1: beautiful frog, but there's just no way to make her
Speaker 1: look so she looks like Drack from Enemy Mind, like
Speaker 1: with like just rouge and Eyeshadows Tara Lugassa Jr. Is terrible,
Speaker 1: but it's terribly perfect. It's terrible in a great way.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. So the Jeff Party
Speaker 1: continued with a tag match that featured Sarria formerly known
Speaker 1: as Page from the w w WE. We got love
Speaker 1: for Sorea. I love her and her tag team partner,
Speaker 1: Tony Storm, the former champion Storm, And they had Sheeta
Speaker 1: out there for some emotional moral support, maybe a little
Speaker 1: bit of backup. And even though she got dissed the
Speaker 1: previous week by Soria, it was an unintentional disc but
Speaker 1: I feel like Sorea is going to be going evil
Speaker 1: very soon. And they were wrestling against Jamie Hayter, the
Speaker 1: Women's World Champion, respect that, and Britt Baker, and they
Speaker 1: were escorted out there by their manager and Jeff, you
Speaker 1: went at it again, man? Yeah, Well she was over there,
Speaker 1: went at it again. She's chirping and everybody she's she's
Speaker 1: and I just told her to watch the match, you know,
Speaker 1: I said, shut up, watch the match, and then she
Speaker 1: just kept coming over to me. She didn't like that
Speaker 1: at all. Also, mind you, at this point, I was
Speaker 1: in the second row. I wasn't even in the front
Speaker 1: row at this point because a lot of people started
Speaker 1: coming into our area. So I went back, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you you accused her team of cheating. Yeah, they weren't cheating.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of a lot of nonsense going on,
Speaker 1: so I just yelling at him. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: who I was rooting for, because here's the problem. I
Speaker 1: love Brett Baker and I love Saya, and then the
Speaker 1: other two their tag partners, like Tony Storm and uh,
Speaker 1: what's the other woman's name, Jamie Hayter, Jamie Hayter Women's
Speaker 1: World Chap. I like both of them. I'm fine with him,
Speaker 1: you know, but but I'm fans of Sir Raya and
Speaker 1: Britt Baker. So I really have nobody let a little
Speaker 1: cheating happen. You gotta let a little bit go by
Speaker 1: man book or Tea said, if you ain't cheating, you
Speaker 1: ain't trying. You know, my dad guess you don't like
Speaker 1: my dad used to you don't like your dad, you
Speaker 1: don't like your dad? Well, my mom hated it when
Speaker 1: he said, if you're not cheating, you're not trying. You know,
Speaker 1: He's right? Um no, it was. It was a great
Speaker 1: match and everything, but they were cheating, and so I
Speaker 1: yelled at her, and then Rivo started coming over and
Speaker 1: yelling at me, and I saw, I said, turned around
Speaker 1: watched the match, which was a very like fun. I
Speaker 1: think I couldn't have she thought I was serious or vice.
Speaker 1: She knew I was playing around, but she eventually knew
Speaker 1: I was playing She she came back to you like
Speaker 1: three times after that. She knew you were playing around.
Speaker 1: And managers like doing that. Man Paul pretended like he
Speaker 1: was gonna fight people in the crowd before, you know,
Speaker 1: like it gives him something else to do. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: a very very fun and animated matchin. It was fun
Speaker 1: to watch all of the valets. Although she's tall and
Speaker 1: she made them look small, didn't she she was a
Speaker 1: tall lady. She did, Yeah, she she probably had high
Speaker 1: heels on them. Maybe that's it. Oh, and then she
Speaker 1: took she took Tony Storms, also cheating, also cheating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't appreciate that. I'm trying to watch. You accused
Speaker 1: her of stealing Tony storms wardrobe. She's wearing the Battles wardrobe.
Speaker 1: That's stealing, borrowing, borrowing. Now she's it was, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe keeping it safe so it doesn't get stepped on
Speaker 1: during a wrestling match. Maybe it was that you don't
Speaker 1: gotta put it around your neck. You know, she's trying
Speaker 1: to make this where's a safer place, Where a safer place?
Speaker 1: Give it to us? She could give it to us.
Speaker 1: You're sick. I'm watching the match right now and you
Speaker 1: can see her talking to me, like literally on TV.
Speaker 1: It's hilarious. Bro. You went after everybody, a good guy
Speaker 1: or a bad guy. You went after everyone. I thought
Speaker 1: it was hysterical. The crowd around us thought it was
Speaker 1: hyster fun. Gina was dying, dude. You had never met
Speaker 1: Gina before daring from four. She's awesome, man, She's a gamer.
Speaker 1: I think like the more you get carried away about anything,
Speaker 1: the better it is. So it's just fun to get
Speaker 1: carried away. Look, let's just get let's just get lost
Speaker 1: in this. You know it's super fun. Yeah, man, that's uh.
Speaker 1: Live events are one of the friendly reminders that I
Speaker 1: think every wrestling fan needs once a year to remind
Speaker 1: you what you love about professional wrestling because TV a
Speaker 1: lot of times and the Internet and social media, we
Speaker 1: get too focused on the things that we don't love.
Speaker 1: That we'd like to change, or sometimes the things we
Speaker 1: even hate, right, like a mask you can't talk in.
Speaker 1: So yeah, man. Even though there was a lot of
Speaker 1: news in wrestling and Vince McMahon's trying to take a
Speaker 1: low pro hostile takeover without using the word hostile, um,
Speaker 1: I thought the biggest news was you and I party
Speaker 1: in at a w and having a great time, and
Speaker 1: I was I thought that was awesome. What if you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're pretty much pros at parking. It's so
Speaker 1: far now already, Yeah, what if the podcast did a
Speaker 1: little WrestleMania So far, I think we gotta do it,
Speaker 1: Jeff d and your boy Freddy. I would be more
Speaker 1: than happy to go to go to wrestle Mania this.
Speaker 1: I was telling Alex again before the show. It's completely
Speaker 1: changed my perspective on I thought I hate it going
Speaker 1: and I was like, nope, I'm wrong. Live wrestling is sick, dude.
Speaker 1: It was so so so so far. That's right, man.
Speaker 1: I would rather do that than any other sport now
Speaker 1: after after like just doing it the right way, going
Speaker 1: with the right people, seeing the right seeing the right matches.
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about that ladder match, talk
Speaker 1: about it, dude, that was a pay per view, like well, actually,
Speaker 1: first of all, there was a John Moxley versus um
Speaker 1: Adam Hangman and the crowd, the l A crowd was
Speaker 1: hyped for Hangman page great match. They killed it. They
Speaker 1: killed Then there was a ladder match, so l A
Speaker 1: got the final match. And even though the way they
Speaker 1: booked it and advertised, you knew there was gonna be
Speaker 1: seven matches no matter what, which is why it's hard
Speaker 1: to make those types of stories compelling. This one was great.
Speaker 1: The first two were awesome. In the middle it got
Speaker 1: a little tough, but it had to be tough. It's
Speaker 1: hard to tell that story seven different ways. And then
Speaker 1: this one was just crazy. Ladd I even broke my
Speaker 1: phone out and recorded and posted a couple from this match.
Speaker 1: When he did the one wing Angel off the ladder,
Speaker 1: I was almost threw up, like it went back and forth.
Speaker 1: I felt like the elite, we're gonna win. But a
Speaker 1: couple of times in the match, I was like, nah, man,
Speaker 1: they're that's so sick. They're gonna let Death Triangle keep
Speaker 1: it after all this, and I was like, no, of
Speaker 1: course not. And Kenny Omega was mad cool to the fans.
Speaker 1: I'm still learning about Omega. People are either they either
Speaker 1: love him or they hate him, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what people hate about him, and I haven't yet.
Speaker 1: I'm like, the guy sells like crazy. We like people
Speaker 1: who sell. He's good on the mic, Mike is wrestling
Speaker 1: is creative. We like people that are creative. And he's
Speaker 1: a good looking dude. Everybody likes good looking dudes. So
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure it out. I've I've heard
Speaker 1: the criticisms, but I'm not like an expert on professional wrestlers,
Speaker 1: so maybe I don't. Maybe I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: think he's mad cool man and and the wrestlers seem
Speaker 1: to respect him and like him, and I think he's
Speaker 1: never heard he's a wrestling fans wet dream. Alright, dude,
Speaker 1: tell the people where you're going to be this weekend. Jo,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be anywhere this weekend, but you can
