Is the legend DDP is joining us in studio. 38 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: When you think about it right now, as a wrestling fan, 39 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: there's so many options to watch. I mean, you've got WWE, 40 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: you got AW got Impact, you've got nw A Like 41 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: growing up X yeah, and growing up you had too 42 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: it was either WWFWWE or WCW right and now it's 43 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: a great time for a wrestling than because you get everything. 44 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: Else, you get really great independent wrestling. Yes, like independent 45 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: wrestling is going on a whole surge, and I noticed 46 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: it was happening when I was in the UK about 47 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: nine years ago. I was like, wait a minute, you're 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: telling me these guys are making a living, like a 49 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: decent not a good living, but a decent living, living 50 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: their dream and no big two that they're wrestling for. 51 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: And I was like, Wow, that's different. And then you 52 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: go to places like Chicago. In Chicago there's eight different 53 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: little federations, yeah, you know, and they all draw. You know, 54 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: it's a great time for the wrestling fan, but it's 55 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: also a great time for the boys and the girls 56 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of place for the work. Definitely 57 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: and get better. Like when Cody left WWE the first time, 58 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: and he left me, but I don't know what kind 59 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: of money he was making, but I know what that 60 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: paygrade would be about, about probably half a million bucks. 61 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: Like that was a big, bold move because he saw 62 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: himself as a top guy and if they don't, you 63 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: have to leave at some point. And that was a 64 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: ballsy move. But there was so many places for him 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: to work. Some nights weeks, he was working five or 66 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: six nights a week, So again he got out there 67 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: and literally rebranded himself and then of course we know 68 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: what happened with all In and you know that whole 69 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: thing that I was a part of that for Cody. 70 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: You know, I'm a WWE guy when it comes to 71 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: whatever they need me to do, because I'm a Hall 72 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: of famer there and they treated me really good the 73 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: last seven or eight years, so you know, I like 74 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: to give back on that. But I was gonna help 75 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: Cody no matter what. And out of that, Tony Conn 76 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: and I got pretty close, and he's a really good dude. 77 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: I felt bad for him when when Punk was going 78 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 1: through his rant, but you know Punk, that's what he does. 79 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,119 Speaker 1: He says what's on his mind, and it's really worked 80 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: out for him a lot of times. This time kind 81 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: of think he shot himself in the foot a little bit, 82 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: but he'll get through it. It'll be and he'll be fine, 83 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: you know. 84 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know we've had this conversation with me 85 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: and a group of friends on a group chat and 86 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: it's like, you know, if Punk walked away again from wrestling, 87 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: like you said, he's gonna be fine. He see him 88 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,239 Speaker 2: Punk wherever he goes, he's gonna sell Merchant, He's gonna 89 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 2: sell this and he's gonna sell this. He doesn't need 90 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 2: to wrestle anymore if he walks away. 91 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: No, he's I'm sure he's making stupid money right now. Yeah, 92 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: but and that's kind of like if you money you know, 93 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: for you know that spot. But again, he's one what 94 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: I've seen. I don't really know Punk that well, but 95 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: by by by his actions, he's a guy who kind 96 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: of you know, wears his heart on his sleeve obviously, right, 97 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: but you know, he he's what you see is what 98 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: you get, you know. And he's not gonna candy coat anything. 99 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: If anything, probably could a little bit, but yeah, but 100 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: he you know, he's gonna be himself and he's gonna 101 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: be true to himself. And I don't think he got 102 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: him fired or anything. I think he'll get a suspension 103 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: along with the rest of the boys. They all did, 104 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: and uh hopefully they'll come back with a different attitude 105 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to like the company is what's paying everybody. Yeah, 106 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: so you know there's you know, we'll see you know. 107 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: I I to me, it's like I've always said, the 108 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: stories in the back are way more intense in the 109 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: stories outside. I mean, with the with the fans got 110 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: to see what really happens. You know, there's just so 111 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: much right. You know, Rome with backstabbing has nothing on 112 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: professional wrestling. 113 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we recently talked with Ricky Starks about that 114 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: the backstage drum and he's like, yeah, there's somebody that's 115 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: got loose lips that's giving you sort of the stories 116 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: and then all the dirt sheets run with it. But 117 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: like you said, I mean, if you're not hearing it 118 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: from you know, the horse's mouth. 119 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: You don't know. 120 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 2: You're just piecing bits and pieces together and then creating 121 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: clickbait per se. 122 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: Sure that's really what all people care about. Like I 123 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: was doing a show with Vince and the Doctor for 124 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: Sports Keeter, which I love those guys in Sportsketer, but 125 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: they would ask me questions that, no matter what, would 126 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: make headlines that weren't what I said, right, So I 127 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: eventually went listen. I love you guys, I appreciate the opportunity, 128 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: but uh, you know, I'd rather go off and do 129 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: my own thing.

Yeah, you know you're lifting weights and 171 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: you've already torn both pecks, both tri SEPs, both biceps, 172 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: Like you you don't have because ego steps into the 173 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: weight room, you know. So it's my program is the 174 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: best for anyone who wants to hold back the ends 175 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: of time and keep kicking ass. Like Jericho, aj Styles, 176 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,119 Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre. I mean guys who are at the apex 177 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: of the business, you know, and they want to keep 178 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: doing it as long as they can, at the level 179 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: that they can to, you know, the guys who are 180 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: just beat up and broken. And that's what Jake and 181 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: Scott both were, and they were they were broken, and 182 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: we managed to get them back on track and feed 183 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: them real foods and give them a safe spot. And 184 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: that's what the resurrection. Jakes maybe cut my phone, read 185 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: you something that this is one of them. Did you 186 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: ever see Bigger, Stronger, faster. Yes, Chris Bell did that 187 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: and he was friends with Josh Brolin, and Josh, you know, 188 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: has had addiction issues, and so I had Chris had 189 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: given Resurrection before anybody had seen it. He'd given it 190 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: to Josh. So let me tell you after he saw 191 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: that documentary what he wrote it was really amazing. He said, 192 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: Chris just watched the documentary and I'm in stunned silence 193 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: a happy ending, and then he put in parentheses or 194 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: at least up until now, question Mark.

A great story of hope, 197 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: love and real compassion. I needed to see I needed 198 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: to hear that or see that, see it the JIMJB. 199 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: That was like the greatest compliment you could ever get 200 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: from one of the greatest actors on the planet, right, 201 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: and like it helped him and it'll help I think 202 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: every kid whose parents can let f bombs go, because 203 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: there's like close to one hundred of them in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 204 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: but if you can, if you're if you're okay with 205 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: your kid here in a casual f bomb, every young 206 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: kid should see that because they need to understand that 207 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: being rich and famous is not all it's cracked up 208 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: to be. And a lot of people have a lot 209 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: of stuff that comes out and like Scott Hall was 210 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: one of those people who didn't think he was worthy 211 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, and that's because you know what had 212 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: happened with him and the guy got killed and wasn't 213 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: his fault, you know what, Yes, but no, but he 214 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 1: didn't bring the gun to the gunfight, r you know 215 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: what I mean, And the guy got he just he 216 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: never he never appreciated. He didn't think he deserved it, 217 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: you know. And he was one of the greatest ever 218 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: and to get both of those guys for a period 219 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: of time in my house and both the got sober 220 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: and both the guy into the Hall of Fame. It 221 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: was amazing. I'll tell you talk about watching it and 222 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: having your was it your cousin or it was my aunt, 223 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: your aunt. Jake had to see that documentary before we 224 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: put it out there, and he didn't just have to 225 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: see it. He had he had to really love it. 226 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: Because if Jake didn't want people to see that, no 227 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: one never would have seen it. And that was my 228 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: That's what I told him. But I told all my 229 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: boys were etiquette like Bill Jacobs, it to be okay, 230 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's never going to be seen when you 231 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: get that one scene where he's drunk at the airport 232 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: and he says, I only had three beers, and then 233 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: later you know, forty fifty seconds later, I only had 234 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: two beers. Then later on he said I only had 235 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: four beers, and just to watch him, he just like 236 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: ducked his head like you see who you are in 237 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: that position. Yeah, And he'd never seen him something like 238 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: that because he would never watch that. But that was 239 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: a big part of him getting like staying sober. Yeah, 240 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: because he didn't want to be that guy, and really 241 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: most people don't want to be that person. So if 242 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: you can, if you can film them, you know, if 243 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: you've got you're in a situation like this, so you 244 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: can show them, but then be willing to help them 245 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: for sure, you know, because that's what it takes. You know, 246 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: we're going We just went through with a we're filming 247 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: a show. We just finished filming a doctor series called 248 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: Change or Die. And you know Marcus Bagwell, it's been 249 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: all over the internet. When he first people found out 250 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: I was working with him, his bookings went through the 251 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: roof and he started making more money because people knew 252 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: they could depend on him. And Marcus is a great guy, 253 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: but he's still an addict. And by the end of 254 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: the series, you'll see it go on from there, because 255 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: he went on after we're done. He did so great 256 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: and then he went off the rails, and he is 257 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: you'll see this one girl in it. It's his his niece, 258 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: and Marcus was the dad that she didn't have, which 259 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: is his brother who wasn't there. And Marcus was there 260 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: her whole life. And she's like his guardian angel. And 261 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: between her and me and Steve and this guy, Josh Naire. 262 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: You know, we all get together and start to help him, 263 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: and you know he had to go to rehab first, 264 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: and right now he's doing great. So we'll see how 265 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: that all plays out. 266 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: Now the docu shares that you're talking about, is this 267 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: where we're gonna get to see buff as, mister Rogers? 268 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: Because I scrolled through TikTok and I was like, is 269 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: that buff like? 270 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: And I started laughing and I was rolling the entire time. 271 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: That's one of the funniest videos out there.

It's the greatest job 281 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: you could ever have because you're doing what you love 282 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: to do and you're helping people. Right, you help somebody, 283 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: you feel better about you when I was twenty two, 284 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: I'll never forget I heard zig Ziggler on a tape 285 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: or somewhere, a big Bible thumper, motivational speaker. Zig Ziggler 286 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: is one of the smartest cats ever. One of the 287 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: things he said was you can get whatever you want 288 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: as long as you help enough people get what they want. 289 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: And that became part of my DNA because I realized 290 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: back then, how much better you feel about you when 291 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: you're helping somebody. At Christmas time, I always I'm always 292 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: putting motivational stuff out there, but at Christmas time I 293 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: talked to people about if you want to feel better 294 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: about yourself, start helping somebody. You know. It's It's one 295 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I feel so comfortable in my 296 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: own skin because Mike Karma is through the room right 297 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: right so, and I know that. So if something happens 298 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: to me, if God decides to take me when I 299 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: walk through this door for some reason, I'm good. Yeah, 300 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: I've lived five lives. I mean, I don't want to 301 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: go anywhere. I've got a gorgeous wife next to me 302 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: over here you can see, and I don't want I 303 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: told her i'd be around for the next forty years, 304 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: which would put me at tw one hundred and five 305 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: at the time. So you know, I got a ways 306 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: to go. 307 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: And you know, you talk about helping people, and I 308 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: think the one cool thing is I'll scroll through social 309 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: media and it's like every other video as somebody talking 310 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 2: about DDP yoga and how you help them. Like I 311 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: think the one video that stands out and you use 312 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 2: this a lot, the guy with the glasses the military 313 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 2: disabled butchers, yes, where he was very overweight, couldn't do anything. 314 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: And then I'm watching this video, so he's transforming and 315 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: he just throws the cane away and he is booking it. 316 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 2: Like I sit here and see those videos and it's 317 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: like how drastically people's life has changed. And because growing 318 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 2: up as a kid and as in an adult male, 319 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: it's like yoga's for you know, chicks. Sure, but of 320 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: course you say it's not your mom's yoga, right. 321 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: But also I wearing a hat that says, what why 322 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: why you want people to stop calling it just eping yoga? 323 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: That's why. But you know the reality is in the beginning, 324 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: yoga was the first piece of it. And that's my 325 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: wife at the time, Kimberly was like, you gonna try yoga. 326 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not doing yoga. Yeah, So I understand 327 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: that mindset. And my wife will tell you because she's 328 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: been a yoga teacher for fourteen years before we ever 329 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: got together, and now she teaches DDP. Why because it's 330 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: just the next level. It's yoga mix with the reapp, 331 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: mixed with old school colesthetics, mix with what I call 332 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: dynamic resistance, which is just the flexing and engaging of muscles, 333 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: so you get your heart rate jacked up standing still. 334 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: So now you don't have to run, especially if you 335 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: can't you can't do it anyway, but you don't have 336 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: to run to get your heart rate jacked up. My 337 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: work I get you jacked up standing still, and the 338 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: movements that I have break up scar tissue, which creates 339 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: more mobility, which makes you stronger and feel younger, you know. 340 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: So it's a win win win. And when people like say, yeah, 341 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: I do your program, they don't mean just the workouts. 342 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: The workouts are just a piece on the app, and 343 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: anybody can get the app for free for seven days. 344 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: Just go to DDP yoga dot com or DDP y 345 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: dot com and you can get the app for free 346 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: for seven days, and there's the very first thing that 347 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: will pop up, and I'll show this to you right here. 348 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: It is the list. The list is that blue little 349 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: square that. 350 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: Comes up and has a very user friendly APT too. 351 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: By the way, it's crazy user friendly, right, and we're 352 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: always making it even better. But if you do everything 353 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: on that list, you won't just change your life, you'll 354 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: begin to start to own your life. And that's really 355 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: what my goal is helping people move forward. I just 356 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: don't want you to change it. I want you to 357 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: get yourself in a spot where you live your life 358 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: on your own terms, right, And that's physically and mentally, 359 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: and it's got to happen on the inside before it 360 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: happens on the outside. Of what I mean by that, 361 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people will say, well, I'll believe it 362 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: when I see it, when what they should be thinking, 363 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: when I see it, I'll believe it. Like I'll give 364 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: you an example. Floyd Mayweather maybe the greatest boxer of 365 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: all time, absolutely pound for pound, the greatest boxer. He's 366 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: the only by buck who's had fifty fights and is undefeated. 367 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: He has twenty seven KOs. He still boxes whenever he 368 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: wants to the bottom line is I will guarantee you 369 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: before he ever walks out there and gets in that ring, 370 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: in his mind's eye, he's already seen he's won this match. 371 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: You win that match before you ever walk through the curtain, 372 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: and you've got to be able to see it in 373 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: your brain. Another great example in April May sixth, nineteen 374 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: fifty four, a guy named Roger Banister broke the four 375 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: minute mile. They said it was impossible. He was going 376 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: to med school at the time, and there was journals 377 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: written that you'll never be broken. Your heart can't take it, 378 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: your heart could explode. So this cat visualizes crossing the 379 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: finish line of the mile and seeing on the clock 380 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: three fifty nine, and he sees it, and he sees 381 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: and then May sixth, nineteen fifty four, he does it. Yeah. 382 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: When someone proves that it can be done, other people go, well, 383 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: he did it, he says. Sent Over thirteen hundred people 384 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: have broken the four minute mile. Yeah. The record right 385 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: now is by some guy in Morocco. Three forty three man. Yeah, Yeah. 386 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: And there's somebody who's going to get that in their 387 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: brain three forty two and they're gonna run and they're 388 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: gonna do it. Yeah, you know, so it's it's got 389 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: to happen on the inside, for it happens on the outside. 390 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: For me. I'm in Germany. I'm the opening match. It's 391 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: me and Dugan every night, and we're in Berlin and 392 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: I get down on my match. I walk through the 393 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: curtain and Hulk grabs me and he pulls me over 394 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: and he goes, how are you doing it? I go, 395 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: how am I doing what? Holk? He goes, how are 396 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: you getting so much better? I go wow, goes oh, seriously, 397 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: he goes, this is what they're doing with you, right, 398 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: because I don't see you on TV that much. He goes, 399 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: but when I do, you got some new move, You 400 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: got some you get the people involved. This is what 401 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: they're doing with you, right. They're putting you on the 402 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: road like this so you can learn your craft, right, 403 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: I said, Oh, I said, this is the first show 404 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: I've been on in four months. What I said, I said, 405 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: the only reason that I'm here is because my real 406 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: last name is Fuckenberg and the crowds love their Germans. 407 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: I said. My grandfather's from the Black Forest, I said, 408 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: And I got a smoke, A hot wife that walks 409 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: me to the ring. That's why I'm here. Well, how 410 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: are you doing it? Then? I said, well, you know, 411 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: I went back down to the power plant. He goes, 412 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: what's that. I go, that's where they trained the guys, 413 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: the young guys coming up. And I went down there 414 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: and I just started teaching the guys. And I figured 415 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: out something that I really didn't understand until that, but 416 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: it applies to everything. The more you teach someone, the 417 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 1: more you learn. The more you learn, the better you get. Right, 418 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: And obviously that's working. He goes, whatever you're doing, you 419 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: need to keep doing it, not today, it's not next 420 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: year or the year. After he said, well somewhere down 421 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: the line, you have the ability to draw a huge 422 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: money with me, and he walked away, and I thought 423 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: to myself, holy shit, man, that he'll just say he 424 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: watched my matches, right, you know, he was always looking like, 425 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: who's that next guy? Who's the next guy coming up? 426 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: So I started to visualize that me and him in 427 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: the main event, me and him bringing battling and out 428 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: on nitros. I visualized it for years and then Rodman, 429 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: you know, the whole thing happened with Randy Savage, which 430 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: changed my life. The whole nWo thing, and I saw 431 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: that that Dennis Rodman was coming into the company again. 432 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: So I picked up the phone and I called Karl 433 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: Malone and not known if they're going to be in 434 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals together that year, and I said, hey, 435 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: Rodbin just came in. Man, how do you how do 436 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: you feel about Rodbin? Because you know he's polarizing, you know. 437 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: He said, well, you know, most people don't know this. 438 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: He goes, but when you're a rookie in the NBA 439 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: back when his day, like there was no multi zillion 440 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: dollar contracts, you all came out and you all went 441 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: to summer camp and you roomed with someone, right, he said, 442 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: I roomed with Rodman. He said. I always like that 443 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: as scrappy player. Man, he goes, I don't know who 444 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: this guy is wearing the wedding dresses, he said, but 445 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 1: he goes, I always like them. I said, what if 446 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: it was him and Hogan against me and you? He said, 447 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: that would be interesting. I said, I know you've always 448 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: wanted to do this. You lived with every dream man. 449 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: So I brought down a Bischoff. Bishop wasn't really sold 450 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: on it immediately until that that was the day they 451 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: played La and Carl pretty much manhandled Shack, which is 452 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: a tough order. Yeah, and they swept them four to oh. 453 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: That year they beat the Lakers and went on to 454 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: the finals, and so did the Bulls. And you know, 455 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: we went right from that into that angle. But me 456 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: walking out with Carl on the Tonight Show with Hogan 457 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: and Rodman being interviewed by Lenno and throwing down the 458 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: chairs at shooting that angle, Man, that was even past 459 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: my vision, even though I laid that out later, but 460 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 1: at the time I was just manifesting me and Hogan 461 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: and then it turned into reality, like you've got to 462 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: see it on the inside before you see it on 463 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: the out right, And again most people all believe it 464 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: when I see it. That should be backwards, Yeah, you 465 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: get that backwards, bro Right. 466 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 2: Well, you talk about vision, and I want to know 467 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 2: whose vision was it for the three staged page match 468 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 2: that was uh, because it didn't come from Ready to 469 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: Rumble or was it already thought about before Ready to Rumble? 470 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: Now Ready to Rumble? Whoever did that? And what I 471 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. But Vince never brought the rights to 472 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: that cage, so they couldn't really Yeah, it was like 473 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: it was a fee. Could would have got the cage, 474 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: you would have got everything. They bought that company for 475 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: five million dollars. If Bischoff would have known that they 476 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: would buy it for five million, he could have got 477 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: They just I really think when you say Vince won 478 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: the war, Vince won the war in the way of 479 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: I think he called Jamie Kilner and said, I'll give 480 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: you a five million and you sell it for five million. 481 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: That's yeah, I have no idea, but you know, to me, 482 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: it's like Bischoff was going to give him fifty million 483 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: and take all the contracts, the big contracts, Hogan's and Goldbergs, 484 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: Nashes sings like big money contracts, and bottom line is 485 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: they didn't. So yeah, there was something shady happened in there, 486 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: That's what I mean. 487 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 2: It kind of sounds like it because when you hear 488 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: Bischoff talk about his thing and then you hear all 489 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 2: this stuff online, it's like five million compared to fifty million. 490 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 2: Like there's some you know, higher up things that happened. 491 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: But I remember watching Ready to Rumble and going. 492 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: To the theaters lot. 493 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: I know it bombed, but it's a cult classic for wrestling. 494 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: Fish. That's great cult. 495 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 2: I mean, I sit here and I showed it to 496 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 2: my five year old. He loves it, so we watch 497 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: it all the time. It's one of those dad son things. 498 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: But like when you're. 499 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 2: Sitting there and they do the thing they do, the 500 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 2: three the three stage cage, what goes through your mind 501 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 2: when they're like, all right, we're actually going to bring 502 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 2: this to life in a real WCW show. 503 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny thing you say that, because that was 504 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: in the same arena where owen Hart felt almost to 505 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: the day of his birthday. So I was kind of 506 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: spooked to be forty because when I fell through the 507 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: three cages, I had wires on both sides of my 508 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: hips and I really fell through those cages that he 509 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: broke away as they went right, which again is a 510 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: different level, was kind of weird. And but I told 511 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: that the director that day. I said, today, Bro, I'm 512 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra. He goes, what does that mean? I go, 513 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: you got one take, don't miss it, But I'm not 514 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: doing that twice. And I knew they'd make it. You 515 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: for things five times, you know, hunt ten times, so 516 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, now going to play it, you got to 517 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: get from one level to another, you know, through using 518 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: the ladders and there's you know there they just boost 519 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: you up, you know in the movie cut but you'll 520 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: come back. But the night before I told the Jeff, 521 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: I said, you know, I just want to go over there. 522 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: I want to walk through some things. And I had 523 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: this one spot where I ran them to the wall 524 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: and the wall came down and like there's a outside. 525 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: The rings is twenty feet, so the so the the 526 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: cages would have been like thirty feet and then the 527 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: next cage would have been like twenty feet and cage 528 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: would have been like ten feet. So there's a perimeter 529 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: outside to walk around the outside of the cage, which 530 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: is kind of squishy. So it's kind of weird because 531 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, remember when Undertaker choke slam, yeah and saw 532 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: it fell through, Yeah, just fell through. So what I 533 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: was going to do was run him into the second wall. 534 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: So when the wall, the top of the wall falls, 535 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: it looks like we're falling into the crowd and it 536 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: got a hell pop. And when we got there, I 537 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: wanted to show Jeff how we were going to do that. 538 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: In that first hour, I was a little tentative moving 539 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: around there. But the second hour is feeling a little 540 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: bit better, but the third hour I was feeling too comfortable. 541 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: And what happened, like how we get from one cage 542 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: to the next. There was a hole that was piping 543 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: like aluminum. Everything's aluminum piping. So there's a hole that 544 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: probably about two feet by eighteen inches, so you can 545 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: up and it's not too big a hole, right, But 546 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: when I was up there, Jet's on the top cage 547 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: and I'm on the second cage and he's looking down 548 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: at me when I go, I'm gonna run you into 549 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: the wall on the top. It's only got like a 550 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: little plastic you know, holder there. We're easily going to 551 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: knock that right down and it's gonna look like we're 552 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: falling into the crowd, but we're not. And he goes, 553 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: you've never done that before. How do you know? I go, 554 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: because it's only got one tie up there, so it's 555 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: got a fall. The bottom's got a bunch of them, right. 556 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: He goes, well, what do we do next? And I point, 557 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna fight around the outside of the cage, And 558 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: then I stepped in that hole and I start free falling. Yeah, 559 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: and only because it was so small it caught my 560 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: my inner bicep on my right arm and my left foot. 561 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: Left leg was still up as I fell through with 562 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: my right leg like in free all speed. I thought 563 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: I broke my neck. Man, I mean it hurts. And 564 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh my god, my god, I got you 565 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: all right? Yeah, I think so. You know, I'm helping 566 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: me lower him down. And when I put my feet 567 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: on the ground, do you remember that, said a scene 568 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: in a ghost where the heel who's killed Patrick Swayze, 569 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: he's out there and the ghosts are coming up and 570 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: grabbing him and pulling him into the ground. Yeah, that's 571 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: what I felt like. I felt like, oh my god. 572 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: The next morning, five o'clock, I could not move and 573 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: I'm on like probably five painkillers, you know, five easily, 574 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: five muscle relaxers. Nothing. And I got to call and 575 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: wake up the girl who's Bischoff's right hand person, and said, Janie, 576 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: if you don't get my dock out here, I can't perform. 577 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: She goes, Dallas, I can't okay that, I go, Janey, 578 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: I won't be able.

My doc flew in worked 582 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: on me for five hours. Wow, I went out there. 583 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: You never know I was hurt. You worked with me 584 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: for three hours, and I flew to somewhere else to 585 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: russell Brett Hart for the United States Championship next night. Geez. 586 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 2: I mean, and you've probably walked back there and be like, yeah, well, 587 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 2: let's let's not do the triple cage match ever again. 588 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: Let's just my own stupidity. 589 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 2: And something else. And I don't want to take up 590 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 2: too much of time, so we'll kind of end. 591 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: It with this. 592 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 2: So I was at Rick Flair's last match, right and 593 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 2: I'm sitting there and all of a sudden the arena 594 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 2: pops and I grew up at Minnespladwire.

Good for 645 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: you brother, being happy and healthy after all the bumps 646 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: are done is priority one after the money, of course. 647 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: And then he says, he says, it's so good to 648 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: see you enjoying all three. I love seeing you help 649 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: the brothers of our industry. And just out of nowhere 650 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: for Randy to sent me that, I said him back 651 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: something nice. But I was super cool, you know, because 652 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: I love the way he took what I did, and 653 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: he really kind of took it to a different level 654 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: with some of the different you know changes. You know 655 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: that that he knew stuff that he'd come up with 656 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: or whoever he was with came up with. Yeah, just 657 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 1: you know, he's an amazing athlete. I was really uh like, 658 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: I've always loved the fact that he was the guy 659 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: to you know, take on the cutter and redaem it whatever. 660 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: You know, people know every time they see him. If 661 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: you grew up in the nineties, you thought of me, 662 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: oh for sure. 663 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 2: And which is the greatest compliment ever exactly, And you 664 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 2: sit here and you talk about the cutter like, I 665 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 2: can't tell you how many times that I'd get in 666 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 2: trouble because I'd hit the diamond cutter on my older sister. 667 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: I'd just been walking up. 668 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 2: I just walk up baym hit her with the diamond 669 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 2: cutter and I just look at her and do you 670 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 2: know the diamond and be like bang, And then I'd 671 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 2: get yelled at and get grounded. But uh, those are 672 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 2: always the fun part of being a kid, saying you 673 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 2: get to hit the diamond cutter on somebody or the 674 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 2: stunter and those things. 675 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,800 Speaker 1: Remember, like you remember those moves? 676 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you see him now and you're like, 677 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 2: even though that's the RKO, we know where that originally 678 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 2: came from and whatnot. But you know, I don't want 679 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 2: to take up too much of your time. But before 680 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 2: we let you go, is there anything you want to 681 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 2: tell somebody who's listening to this right now? Do you 682 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 2: know what do you want to tell them? 683 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: From anything? I'm sure there's a bunch of kids out 684 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: there you don't want to be wrestlers, you know. And 685 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: what I tell the Maul is if you can't breathe 686 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: without it, then you should go and do it. If 687 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: you can be happy working the independent scene, like we 688 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: talked about, you know in the beginning of the show 689 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: that there's a really great independent scene out there right now. 690 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: You can be happy with that, and you should do it. 691 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: If you can't breathe without going to WWE or AW, 692 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: that's going to be a way tougher task. And you 693 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: better be willing to eat, sleep, and breathe it. And 694 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 1: that's the only thing that's important to you. And can 695 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: you get there, Yeah, you can get there, but you 696 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 1: gotta put the work in.
