Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, his eyes up here.
Speaker 2: I am the scene of the extreme brand scene and
Speaker 2: I am so happy to be here on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: I am joined by my co host Chad Dad. Do
Speaker 1: you feel the excitement in the air.
Speaker 3: The excitement is so thick you can cut it with
Speaker 3: a knife.
Speaker 2: We have been waiting for this launch for it seems
Speaker 2: like forever. I know it's only been a month or two,
Speaker 2: but I have been just waiting to be.
Speaker 1: Part of the iHeart family.
Speaker 2: And now I am here along with you, and I
Speaker 2: couldn't be happier.
Speaker 1: I am thrilled.
Speaker 3: This is great, This is this is awesome. I agree,
Speaker 3: it's been it feels like a long time coming, but
Speaker 3: it's just been great, the anticipation and the excitement, and
Speaker 3: now it's here, and I think we're all ready to party.
Speaker 3: Party with iHeart Radio, iHeartMedia. We're already to role.
Speaker 1: Yes, we're static to be here.
Speaker 2: We've been doing this now for four years and I
Speaker 2: feel like we've hit the big time.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's great. We're really happy to be here. I want
Speaker 2: to thank those who have come along with us for
Speaker 2: this journey. To our new subscribers, welcome, I'm going to
Speaker 2: give you a little backstory on myself for those of
Speaker 2: you who might not know who I am and just
Speaker 2: stumbled upon this show out of nowhere. Again, my name
Speaker 2: is Francine. I have been involved in the wrestling business
Speaker 2: for thirty years now.
Speaker 1: I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.
Speaker 2: I am an ECW original. I have also worked for
Speaker 2: the WWE. I have also worked for TNA Wrestling, among
Speaker 2: other places, and we still get out there and do
Speaker 2: conventions and the occasional show and podcasting has taken over
Speaker 2: my life. So I am more than happy to be
Speaker 2: here and to share not only my wrestling knowledge with you,
Speaker 2: because this is primarily a wrestling podcast, but we like
Speaker 2: to call it a lifestyle podcast because we literally talk
Speaker 2: about everything. My love for Disney, my family, what I
Speaker 2: ate for dinner last night, you know, our health problems.
Speaker 2: Like anything under the sun you can think of, we
Speaker 2: discuss on here. Nothing is off limits. Sometimes you might
Speaker 2: be grossed out, sometimes you might be intrigued.
Speaker 1: It just depends on the day.
Speaker 2: But I am again happy to be here, and I
Speaker 2: thank everybody who tuned in today and hopefully you will
Speaker 2: keep tuning in and your friends about us. So Chad,
Speaker 2: why don't you give us a little bit of background
Speaker 2: about yourself and then we can start the show.
Speaker 3: It's nice that you condensed the thirty year wrestling career
Speaker 3: into like a minute. In thirty five seconds, I'll take
Speaker 3: up the next ten if you want.
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, if people want to look me up.
Speaker 2: You know, Google is your friend. But I'm not going
Speaker 2: to sit here and put myself over for a whole hour.
Speaker 1: That's just rude.
Speaker 3: Well, allow me to be even more rude. I'll take
Speaker 3: over that the audience.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I've been podcasting for about eight years. I've been in
Speaker 3: broadcasting for about twenty. I've worked for WWE, I've worked
Speaker 3: for The Howard Stern Show. I've worked for the Philadelphia
Speaker 3: Phillies and NBC News. But on the wrestling side again,
Speaker 3: and in podcasting, I've interviewed who's who of professional wrestling
Speaker 3: and been around the wrestling world myself for a number
Speaker 3: of years. So to be paired with you like we
Speaker 3: have for the last four has been the highlight for me.
Speaker 3: And we've done so much and we've had a lot
Speaker 3: of good laughs, a lot of good times, and now
Speaker 3: being here on iHeartMedia is to me the highlights and
Speaker 3: as you go along this journey with us, A lot
Speaker 3: of the stories come out about my experience in addition
Speaker 3: to Francine's lengthy and awesome thirty year career in wrestling.
Speaker 4: So I can compliment some.
Speaker 3: Stories in such a little tiny way, but my stories
Speaker 3: will pop out as we go along as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I just want to emphasize, like
Speaker 2: you can't always believe what you hear or read on
Speaker 2: the internet. So my goal in having this podcast is
Speaker 2: for my fans to get to know me on a
Speaker 2: personal level and get to know the real fran Scene,
Speaker 2: not just the character that you've seen on TV for years.
Speaker 2: Because I'm telling you she was a real bitch. Nobody
Speaker 2: liked her. She was called every name in the book.
Speaker 2: And while it was fun to play that character, that
Speaker 2: is not me. And so I want to give you
Speaker 2: guys an insight on my life, bring you into you know,
Speaker 2: my home life, what's going on with my kids, my husband,
Speaker 2: my family, stuff like that, as well as the wrestling aspect.
Speaker 2: So yes, we will talk about tons of wrestling on
Speaker 2: this show.
Speaker 1: I will have special guests, like today, we have.
Speaker 2: An awesome guest coming up in just a couple of minutes,
Speaker 2: but I get a lot of my ECW family on here.
Speaker 1: We also get people from the entertainment world.
Speaker 2: We've had actors, we've had musicians, we've had comedians, and
Speaker 2: I'm going to continue that trend and try to get
Speaker 2: you the best interviews possible. So really really looking forward
Speaker 2: to being with the iHeart family, and we have a
Speaker 2: lot more to come and really excited about that. Wanted
Speaker 2: to just start off with a plug if we can,
Speaker 2: because we have a big show coming up and Chad,
Speaker 2: you're a part of this as well. I will be
Speaker 2: in Virginia Beach on November eleventh.
Speaker 1: Yes, I got the date right. I never get dates right. Awesome.
Speaker 2: So we're going to be in Virginia Beach on November eleventh.
Speaker 2: We're going to be doing a signing from eleven to
Speaker 2: one pm. So if anybody is in the area, come
Speaker 2: on down and say hi. And I am looking forward
Speaker 2: to meeting everyone down there. It's going to be a
Speaker 2: blast again. Chad's going to be with me, and we're
Speaker 2: going to be you know, promoting this podcast and promoting iHeart.
Speaker 2: Now that I'm part of the family, I will just
Speaker 2: promote iHeart as much as I can, so hopefully I'll
Speaker 2: see everybody down there and we'll put up a graphic
Speaker 2: at the end of at the end of this podcast
Speaker 2: will let you know the address and everything.
Speaker 1: But really excited about getting back on the road.
Speaker 2: Been working on a lot of dates for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: The big one coming up is WrestleMania Weekends. We're going
Speaker 2: to be in Philadelphia for that, and I'm hearing that
Speaker 2: it's going to be a big thew reunion of sorts.
Speaker 1: My sources tell me a lot of the guys will
Speaker 1: be booked.
Speaker 2: And we're going to be doing a lot of fun
Speaker 2: things together. So that is the beginning of April, and
Speaker 2: I cannot wait for that. But we are working on
Speaker 2: other projects that I hope to be able to discuss soon.
Speaker 2: There's a lot on the horizon, you know, and it's
Speaker 2: a pretty exciting time.
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you, at fifty one.
Speaker 2: Years old, I am flabbergasted that I am getting all
Speaker 2: these opportunities to still, you know, get out there and
Speaker 2: do things, and that people are still interested in, you know,
Speaker 2: myself and ECW as a whole. So it's very humbling
Speaker 2: and I just want to thank everybody for you know,
Speaker 2: sticking with me for this journey for thirty going on
Speaker 2: thirty one years now.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I can't believe it.
Speaker 2: I sit back and I think to myself, how the
Speaker 2: heck did I end up here?
Speaker 1: You know, because it really that I never thought that
Speaker 1: it would lead to something like this.
Speaker 2: You know, you get your first action figure made and
Speaker 2: you're You're in video games in the year twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three at fifty one, Like wow, you know, And I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to toot my own horn. I'm amazed at myself.
Speaker 2: I can't believe this is happening, Like you know, it's
Speaker 2: just it's surreal and it's cool, and I'm very appreciative
Speaker 2: and I can't wait to see what next year brings,
Speaker 2: because there's always something new that comes in, some new
Speaker 2: opportunity on the horizon.
Speaker 1: So it's great.
Speaker 3: Who would have ever thought how much the business evolved
Speaker 3: from nineteen ninety four to now, right, Who would have
Speaker 3: ever thought action figures would have taken off the way
Speaker 3: they have, because back in nineteen ninety four, it was
Speaker 3: only one line of action figures or two line of
Speaker 3: action figures. Now there's thirty different people making them, and
Speaker 3: everybody and their mother has them.
Speaker 4: And you guys now have.
Speaker 3: The ability to see different verys of yourself in action
Speaker 3: figure form, and it's cool to see you have different
Speaker 3: different attires, different sculpts, different molds and and things that
Speaker 3: you never could have imagined now come to life, right.
Speaker 2: And I'll remember, you know, when we were in acw
Speaker 2: my heart was broken because I was supposed to get
Speaker 2: an action figure back in the nineties, and then they
Speaker 2: told me, well, the girl figures don't sell, so we're
Speaker 2: just going to.
Speaker 1: Go with the guys. And I was just like, oh,
Speaker 1: how dare you? So?
Speaker 2: I never thought i'd get my own action figure, but
Speaker 2: now you know, I have one, and there's other opportunities
Speaker 2: on the table for.
Speaker 1: More stuff, and it's just it's a it's a fun time.
Speaker 2: You know, and I'm just so blessed that I can
Speaker 2: be involved in stuff like this, So I'm really happy,
Speaker 2: and you know, with the projects that I'm working on
Speaker 2: now for next year, like unbelievable stuff is happening, and
Speaker 2: it's just it's so fun, and I'm so happy to
Speaker 2: be a part of the wrestling business still, because some
Speaker 2: people just tend to fizzle out and you never see
Speaker 2: them again. You know, I try not to be so
Speaker 2: in your face, but I want you to say, hey, how's.
Speaker 1: It going, You're still around, glad to seeing it. That
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So it's it's fun to be involved.
Speaker 3: It's fun fun to be involved, and anytime they get
Speaker 3: to meet you, it is very fun, unlike some other
Speaker 3: superstars out there that it might not always be the
Speaker 3: greatest experience, like we've talked about in the last few
Speaker 3: weeks on Eyes up here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody has their own domani like that. Like I
Speaker 2: try to be happy and you know, so we're going
Speaker 2: to email our guests now and get.
Speaker 1: Him because he's Impeatib.
Speaker 3: It's on the way.
Speaker 1: Okay. He just texted me and was like waiting for email.
Speaker 1: It's coming.
Speaker 2: Well, let me give him an intro. I know him
Speaker 2: as Bubba. I will never call him Bully Ray. I
Speaker 2: am so sorry. I cannot call him Bully Ray. It
Speaker 2: is Bubba Ray Dudley to me now and forever. I
Speaker 2: can never call you Bully Ray ever.
Speaker 4: Franny, you call me whatever you want to call you.
Speaker 1: Don't call me. They for dinner, kid, You.
Speaker 4: Know I haven't missed the meal in a long time.
Speaker 2: I think you look spelt okay, spelter, spelter, swelter, then
Speaker 2: you felter.
Speaker 1: How are you, my friend?
Speaker 4: I am great since the last time I saw you
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Since you saw me, and that was the first time
Speaker 2: in a while, and I was very very yes it.
Speaker 4: Was no, not at the last autogrash session.
Speaker 1: I saw you at the arena. That was the least time,
Speaker 1: no where.
Speaker 4: I just saw you at a signing when Devon took
Speaker 4: a picture with your big butt.
Speaker 1: I said before that I hadn't seen you in a while.
Speaker 4: Oh, then it was at the arena.
Speaker 1: It was my peach butt. My butt looked so good
Speaker 1: in that picture.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you to shabby, not too shabby for sixty two.
Speaker 1: It's I'll dare you. He won, babe, he won.
Speaker 4: You look amazing.
Speaker 1: I don't lie. Who cares like I don't don't care?
Speaker 2: So you know I want to talk to you, and
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be like who trained you?
Speaker 4: Please don't because I won't.
Speaker 1: Answer a million times We've been over this.
Speaker 2: The first thing I want to discuss is because I
Speaker 2: I don't really know what happened. You just had a
Speaker 2: pay per view. You job to a girl, good job.
Speaker 2: By the way, great, thanks. What triggered the name change
Speaker 2: back to TNA from Impact? For those of you who
Speaker 2: don't know, Bubba works for Impact. They're on the up
Speaker 2: and up. I see in bigger buildings.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: But I saw a very passionate promo from Scott the
Speaker 2: Moore where he dropped like five F bombs.
Speaker 1: I was like, what is this really necessary? I guess it.
Speaker 4: Was a bomb. He has to donate five hundred dollars
Speaker 4: to charity.
Speaker 1: Is that is that why he does it? Well?
Speaker 4: I don't know why he does it, but that's what
Speaker 4: he does. He will donate every F bomb five hundred
Speaker 4: dollars to charity.
Speaker 1: I love that. That's nice.
Speaker 4: Why the name changed.
Speaker 1: Why back to TNA?
Speaker 4: I think Impact Wrestling discovered that as they were negotiating
Speaker 4: throughout the world to get Impact on, you know, into
Speaker 4: certain markets, that the TNA name, those three letters still
Speaker 4: had value. People like to chant TNA. Listen, the original
Speaker 4: chant was ECW, but right after that it was TNA,
Speaker 4: and there are fans out there that still call it TNA. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I believe that they are embracing their history and
Speaker 4: that they're going to bring this name back because in
Speaker 4: certain parts of the world, like England and India, TNA
Speaker 4: was more watched than the WWE. So I think they
Speaker 4: want to see if they can take advantage of of
Speaker 4: all of the good press that they got in the
Speaker 4: past from the name and move it forward. All the
Speaker 4: fans that I have spoke to so far, all of
Speaker 4: the boys that I have spoke to so far, love
Speaker 4: the fact that they've gone back to TNA. So I
Speaker 4: believe it'll be called TNA TNA Impact.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, so it's kind of like a merge.
Speaker 4: I think the company will be called TNA, but the
Speaker 4: name of the TV show will be called Impact.
Speaker 1: Oh. I like that. That makes sense.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 1: See I I worked the first pay per view for.
Speaker 2: Them, where you had to pay, you had to pay
Speaker 2: ten dollars to say the product that was back in
Speaker 2: the Nashville fairground days.
Speaker 1: But uh, it's been a while.
Speaker 2: And I saw the picture from the pay per view
Speaker 2: this week and we were we were kind of comparing
Speaker 2: a I Use crowds to the Impact crowds because my
Speaker 2: point was, They're showing all these pictures of aaw with
Speaker 2: all the empty seats, right, and I'm like, why isn't
Speaker 2: Tony Kahan getting smaller arenas and making it look better
Speaker 2: for TV. And then we pulled up a picture from
Speaker 2: the pay per view and it looked fantastic. It looked
Speaker 2: fantastic on TV, and you know, there were people there,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't like the empty seats and all this
Speaker 2: sudden I said, they're doing it the right way.
Speaker 1: You know, even though you've guts, you've basically.
Speaker 2: Been around for what twenty something years now, you're still
Speaker 2: doing that slow build and it's working, and I mean,
Speaker 2: everything looks great. Everybody I talked to says they love
Speaker 2: the locker room and they love working there. I got
Speaker 2: to hang out with the girls one night after one
Speaker 2: of the conventions. They were the sweetest things ever. And
Speaker 2: I said, well, if I was twenty years younger, I
Speaker 2: would love to be on the road with that. It
Speaker 2: just seems like such a fun like it reminded me
Speaker 2: of VCW, like a fun locker room where like not
Speaker 2: everybody's trying to stab you in the back.
Speaker 4: This is probably in my top two favorite locker rooms
Speaker 4: of all time top two, so ECW would be number
Speaker 4: one obviously, because listen, ECW will always be special period.
Speaker 4: End of story. I don't care who thinks differently than me.
Speaker 4: It is what it is. We changed wrestling history forever.
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. If you don't like it yourself, Okay,
Speaker 4: that's just the truth. It is what it is. This
Speaker 4: locker room is so it's just nice. Everybody gets along.
Speaker 4: There is a healthy competitiveness to go out there and
Speaker 4: have the best match of the night. In ECW, I
Speaker 4: do believe there was a healthy competitiveness, but we still
Speaker 4: had veterans there who might have had an agenda or two.
Speaker 4: And I'm talking about a small amount of veterans there,
Speaker 4: small amount. I don't see any agendas here. The creative
Speaker 4: team and the talent work so well together. Ideas are
Speaker 4: listened to. They're not just schleuffed off. It's a good
Speaker 4: bunch of guys and gals. T and A is smart
Speaker 4: enough to run smaller buildings. And I don't even know
Speaker 4: if I can call them that smart because they haven't
Speaker 4: had a choice. They've had to run smaller buildings because
Speaker 4: they have not been doing as well. In the past year.
Speaker 4: TNA truly has turned around, and I think it's because
Speaker 4: they brought in some names to work with their homegrown
Speaker 4: talent or the younger talent there or the established talent there,
Speaker 4: because every locker room needs a good mixture of veterans,
Speaker 4: homegrown women who can wrestle the whole nine yards. And
Speaker 4: I think that's what you're getting from TNA right now
Speaker 4: as far as aw and the small houses. First of all,
Speaker 4: people who take pictures of any wrestling company's arena to
Speaker 4: show that there's nobody there are pieces and don't belong
Speaker 4: as a part of the wrestling community because they're not
Speaker 4: doing the wrestling community any good. Every major wrestling company
Speaker 4: in the history of wrestling companies has their ups and
Speaker 4: their downs. You have your sellouts, and you have your
Speaker 4: nights where next to nobody shows up. So this this,
Speaker 4: this industry will always be a giant rollercoaster. Sometimes you're hot,
Speaker 4: sometimes you're not. It can all be like you, Francy,
Speaker 4: and it'd be hot all the time.
Speaker 2: Well, Babe, I never said I was, but I agree
Speaker 2: with you on that. I you know, we we just
Speaker 2: got sent pictures and we brought it up and that's
Speaker 2: exactly what I said. But everybody, you know, we want
Speaker 2: them to fail. This is the demise of this company.
Speaker 2: And I was like, why would you want something to fail.
Speaker 2: You want all these people to be.
Speaker 1: Out of jobs? Like, how hateful are you? It doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense to me.
Speaker 4: These the people who want to see any one particular
Speaker 4: wrestling company fail are failures in their own life. Look
Speaker 4: at him and misery loves company.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they.
Speaker 4: Need to be able to sit there and hide behind
Speaker 4: a profile picture of SpongeBob SquarePants with thirteen followers and
Speaker 4: talk crap and post pictures and do whatever they do
Speaker 4: because when they look in the mirror, they're miserable and
Speaker 4: probably want to run full speed into a brick wall.
Speaker 4: Not that half these people could run anyway, because they
Speaker 4: lack athletic ability period. In fact, he's you know, aw
Speaker 4: is the same as any other company. They're going to
Speaker 4: have their peaks, they're going to have their valleys. Now,
Speaker 4: if they're seeing that the valleys are continuing and they're
Speaker 4: booking themselves in twelve to fifteen thousand seed arenas and
Speaker 4: they're only getting a couple of thousand people, yes, then
Speaker 4: they might want to think about scaling back to smaller
Speaker 4: venues or cut the venue used down even tighter. Listen,
Speaker 4: you can be in Madison Square Garden, but you could
Speaker 4: cut that arena down to an eighth of its size.
Speaker 4: If you wanted to and just put twenty five hundred
Speaker 4: people in there, sure ian to look packed. Or you
Speaker 4: cannot pay Madison Square Gardens rent, you know, and go someplace,
Speaker 4: or go to the mid Huffinson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie.
Speaker 4: Love that building and there's nothing wrong with it. But
Speaker 4: if you're if your ego can't handle the shit that's
Speaker 4: going to be said on social media about the scaling back,
Speaker 4: then you're going to have an issue. It's not this
Speaker 4: business is not great all the time, and it doesn't
Speaker 4: suck all the time. You just have to learn how
Speaker 4: to ride it.
Speaker 1: I want to.
Speaker 2: Ask you a question about you because this is a
Speaker 2: question that I get from so many people, and when
Speaker 2: I give my honest answer, I get something different back.
Speaker 2: And I don't know where it comes from because the
Speaker 2: bubba I know, and I'm gonna put you over. We've
Speaker 2: been friends for a very long time, right, and I
Speaker 2: see you as not only like knowledgeable in the business, right,
Speaker 2: but I see you as having a good heart. And
Speaker 2: we've had so much fun together when we hang out
Speaker 2: and you're funny and you know, you're talkative, and we
Speaker 2: can talk about anything under the sun. And when I
Speaker 2: tell that to certain people, you're talking about Bubba, You're
Speaker 2: talking about Bully Ray. Why do I get such an
Speaker 2: attitude from people when I mention.
Speaker 4: Your name Because people don't know who the real me is.
Speaker 4: That's first and foremost. I'm an old school wrestler. If
Speaker 4: I'm a heel, when you meet me in person in
Speaker 4: real life, you're getting the person that you see on TV.
Speaker 4: Because the last thing I ever wanted is people to go,
Speaker 4: oh my god, I met Bubba Ray Dudley or Bully Ray,
Speaker 4: He's so nice. Well that just killed all the credibility
Speaker 4: of what I've done on TV.
Speaker 1: But what they are promoters?
Speaker 4: What about him? You find me a promoter that I
Speaker 4: have worked with that has something bad to say about me?
Speaker 1: Okay, so they have to work with you.
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, Francine, I am so straight up with
Speaker 4: the way I do business right, I don't deviate. Here's
Speaker 4: the price. Here's what I'm gonna do. If you try
Speaker 4: to get over on me, I am going to verbally
Speaker 4: eviscerate you.
Speaker 1: And I one hundred percent agree with you on That's it.
Speaker 4: So these promoters see that they can't if a promoter
Speaker 4: tries to get over on me and I tell them no,
Speaker 4: or they conveniently forget to tell me something like, oh,
Speaker 4: didn't I tell you about this extra stack of three
Speaker 4: hundred pictures I need to sign. No, you didn't. Thus
Speaker 4: I'm not signing them.
Speaker 1: That just happened to me. Same thing three hundred trading cards.
Speaker 4: I work with. I work with plenty of promoters who
Speaker 4: know as long as they're straight up with me, I'm
Speaker 4: straight up with them. And I don't like to go
Speaker 4: do a million and one things. I keep myself what
Speaker 4: I do and what Me and Devon do. I keep
Speaker 4: it exclusive so that when you do see us, it's special.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to do every Tom Dick and Harry's,
Speaker 4: you know, autograph session or indie show or anything like that.
Speaker 4: So if any of the promoters that ever come up
Speaker 4: to you might have some derogatory things to say about me,
Speaker 4: put them on your podcast with me ooh, and I'd
Speaker 4: be more than happy to put them in their place.
Speaker 1: I might have to do that so we can get
Speaker 1: a return visit out of you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of people in the wrestling business cannot
Speaker 4: handle straight up good business because a lot of promoters
Speaker 4: try to get over on the boys. And you know this,
Speaker 4: I do. I'm sure promoters have tried to get over
Speaker 4: on you.
Speaker 1: They just did with the training they put. There was
Speaker 1: a stack of cards.
Speaker 2: And I sat down and the guy was like, and
Speaker 2: the funny part was half the cards were Shane and I.
Speaker 2: So it was the split signature thing. So Shane had
Speaker 2: already signed them, and I said, what is this and
Speaker 2: the guy goes, oh, just sign them.
Speaker 1: I said, am I getting paid? And the guy goes, well, no,
Speaker 1: you're the guy that brought you in is getting the money.
Speaker 1: I said for my signature. This wasn't part of the deal.
Speaker 2: So if I didn't sign those cards, they couldn't be
Speaker 2: sold because Sheen's autograph was on it, but mine wasn't.
Speaker 1: I held out until he paid me, as you should.
Speaker 4: Right, you're in the Franccene business, and Franccene deserves to
Speaker 4: make money on her pictures, her autographs, whatever it is
Speaker 4: you want to sell. Now, if somebody comes up to me,
Speaker 4: if a promoter comes up to me and says, hey, Bubba,
Speaker 4: I want you to sign for two hours, and then
Speaker 4: I have like an extra ten mail orders that I'd
Speaker 4: like you to sign. I'll ask him what the mail
Speaker 4: orders are or if they wanted to sign a couple
Speaker 4: extra things, And nine out of ten times the answer is.
Speaker 1: Yes, because he told you.
Speaker 4: You tell me up front. We have no problems. It's
Speaker 4: not like, oh, by the way, no, oh by the way,
Speaker 4: go yourself.
Speaker 2: I know, well, it's funny, and I'm switching gears a
Speaker 2: little bit. I tried to find and we didn't find it,
Speaker 2: did we try?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: I tried to find this video of us because my
Speaker 2: next question was, and I know what you're going to say,
Speaker 2: because you just did it on the pay per view
Speaker 2: when we did a house show.
Speaker 1: And this is back in maybe ninety I don't know,
Speaker 1: ninety six, ninety seven something around there.
Speaker 2: I beat up all of the Dudleys, and I don't
Speaker 2: remember where we were, but I remember I did something
Speaker 2: the big Dick. I did something to Devon and then
Speaker 2: you let me give you a diamond cutter and laid
Speaker 2: you guys all out, and then I ended up carrying
Speaker 2: Spike to the back right, and I remember after we
Speaker 2: were done, I went to eat you and I apologized
Speaker 2: because I was always scared that the boys were gonna
Speaker 2: resent me for an idea that Paul had. Did you
Speaker 2: ever get mad like by having to put like a
Speaker 2: girl over or.
Speaker 1: Having somebody less stature? Like? I know it's the business,
Speaker 1: but some of the guys had a chip on their
Speaker 1: shoulder about it. You know, she's a girl. Why should
Speaker 1: she beat you know, why should she beat me up
Speaker 1: or pin me in the ring?
Speaker 4: Well, I've never had a problem with what you did
Speaker 4: to us that night because I don't even remember that happening.
Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to show the video of it.
Speaker 4: I don't remember.
Speaker 1: It's the house show it was. It was like a
Speaker 1: quick little thing.
Speaker 2: And for some reason Paul, I don't know if Shane
Speaker 2: was injured and I didn't have anything to do, and
Speaker 2: he said, oh.
Speaker 1: Let's just go pop the crowd and you go beat
Speaker 1: up all the Dudley's. And I was like what And
Speaker 1: I was so afraid I was going to get heat
Speaker 1: for it? But I didn't Nobody this.
Speaker 4: Is This is an art form, and this art can
Speaker 4: be whatever we want it to be. Rules still apply
Speaker 4: to this art form. But if you do something the
Speaker 4: right way, you can get away with it. What is
Speaker 4: your nickname? What was your nickname? To this day? The
Speaker 4: Queen of Etch, the queen of extreme. So if you're
Speaker 4: supposed to be this tough bitch who has been was
Speaker 4: the first girl that I know that ever got super
Speaker 4: bombed through a table, if you're supposed to be this
Speaker 4: tough and this much of a badass with cans out
Speaker 4: to here, then it's eyes up here, eyes up here.
Speaker 4: And as my good friend Tony Storm says, chin up
Speaker 4: kits out, big mark for Tony Storm. So then yeah,
Speaker 4: if you're this tough of a girl, then yeah, on
Speaker 4: a given night, you might be able to get in
Speaker 4: a couple of shots on the boys. Are we doing
Speaker 4: it every night? Absolutely not now. At the pay per
Speaker 4: view The Battle Royal, The Gauntlet Battle Royal, it came
Speaker 4: down to myself and Jordan Grace bully right six with
Speaker 4: three three hundred pounds. Jordan Grace is five two, a
Speaker 4: Bucco two, soaking wet with a brick in a pocket.
Speaker 5: Okay, but she's a former powerlifter, she's a former bodybuilder,
Speaker 5: and on that moment, on that given night, the sun
Speaker 5: shined on her and she had her personal best lift.
Speaker 4: When you competitive powerlifters, competitive weightlifters, they have what's called
Speaker 4: a PR, a personal record or a PB a personal
Speaker 4: best That means you could lift that weight one time
Speaker 4: in that one moment. You may never be able to
Speaker 4: do it again, but in that one moment in time,
Speaker 4: you were able to get that personal best. That's what
Speaker 4: Jordan Grace had. She had her personal best record and
Speaker 4: was able to hit me with that move, And that's
Speaker 4: why it makes sense, right. But if you have girls
Speaker 4: just going out there just beating it out of all
Speaker 4: these men, it's not that believable unless your name was China.
Speaker 4: Can I see Charlotte Flair wrestling a guy and stretching them? Absolutely?
Speaker 4: Can I see Ria Ripley fighting a guy and beating
Speaker 4: the shit out of them? Absolutely? But it can't be
Speaker 4: every single night, and there's ways to do it, and
Speaker 4: when done right with the right psychology, I believe it's acceptable.
Speaker 4: But there's a lot of girls wrestling guys right now
Speaker 4: who are just doing stuff that like a tiny little
Speaker 4: girl can't give a bigger guy. Nine Canadian Destroyers in
Speaker 4: a row, it just makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nine's too many? Just eight?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you said something that triggered me at
Speaker 2: the signing.
Speaker 1: You had asked me about the super bomb through.
Speaker 2: The table and how I landed and if I have
Speaker 2: pain from it, and I you know, I told you,
Speaker 2: I said, every time I see Gary Wolf, he always
Speaker 2: tells me how much Anthony protected me. And I never
Speaker 2: felt the same way. I never I never felt I
Speaker 2: was protected on that bump. And when you said that,
Speaker 2: it made me feel like I was justified in my
Speaker 2: thoughts because you know, I said to myself, is it me?
Speaker 1: Is there something going on? But when you told me that,
Speaker 1: I was like.
Speaker 2: Damn, I'm glad somebody else realized that there was something
Speaker 2: off on that because, like I said, to this day,
Speaker 2: I still have problems with my tail boone and my
Speaker 2: lower back and the arthritis and this, that and the
Speaker 2: other thing. But I always felt guilty for feeling that
Speaker 2: way because and I love Gary. I never had heat
Speaker 2: with Gary Anthony. That's another story. God.
Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, I like Anthony and Gary
Speaker 4: coming up work with the pit bulls. You know, good dudes.
Speaker 4: But nobody has mastered the art of putting somebody through
Speaker 4: a table like I have. And that's not me blowing
Speaker 4: smoke up my own ass. It's just a fact I
Speaker 4: have had more women in my hands. And seriously, I
Speaker 4: have had more women's in my hands that I have
Speaker 4: super bombed through tables than anybody else, and nobody else
Speaker 4: Francine has even tried it. Yeah, you might get a
Speaker 4: guy who gives a girl a standing power bomb, but
Speaker 4: you'll never see somebody sit on the top rope and
Speaker 4: do the sit out one that I do. And I'll
Speaker 4: never throw a woman the way you got thrown, because
Speaker 4: it's almost impossible because of trajectory to land a woman
Speaker 4: or a man for that matter, flat. It is a
Speaker 4: little easier with a dude, because a heavier dude will
Speaker 4: go south before they head out. I can get a
Speaker 4: heavier dude to go straight down a lighter woman. The
Speaker 4: minute I come off, her body will want to float out,
Speaker 4: and your body floated, and that's why you landed on
Speaker 4: your tailbone. I believe that Anthony, Gary and Anthony had
Speaker 4: all the best intentions for you. I mean I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe they didn't, but I don't know that.
Speaker 4: All I know is I've seen you. After years and
Speaker 4: years of doing this and seeing how you landed, I
Speaker 4: can tell you I'm not surprised if your hips were
Speaker 4: broken or at a whack for your entire life because
Speaker 4: you landed on your tialbone and your hips, and just
Speaker 4: one of those bumps can bang you up for the
Speaker 4: rest of your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well I broke my pelvis right after that, so it
Speaker 2: kind of added to the lop side. And it's that
Speaker 2: I was already having as I was walking, But it
Speaker 2: just triggered me. When you said that, I was just like, Wow,
Speaker 2: somebody else noticed, and it's not in my head that
Speaker 2: it was off, like I always felt like it was off,
Speaker 2: and I get I always get compliments like wow, it
Speaker 2: was such a great bump, and I'm like, yeah.
Speaker 1: It hurt, like you know what I mean. But I just,
Speaker 1: you know, when you said that, it just made me
Speaker 1: feel justified in my thoughts.
Speaker 4: So yep, I would have never I would have never
Speaker 4: done you like that. I would have held you in
Speaker 4: and and kept you close so I could control your
Speaker 4: body more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Anthony, I liked Anthony, just to clarify, but he
Speaker 2: he would always ask me on dates and I would
Speaker 2: always say no, and that resulted into some stiff moments
Speaker 2: in the ring. And so I feel like it and
Speaker 2: I love Gary to death, but I was always scared
Speaker 2: to have to work with Anthony. And then when we
Speaker 2: got into the program where Shane and Anthony worked together.
Speaker 2: I got stiffed a bunch of times, and I never
Speaker 2: said anything back then, because you know, I was just
Speaker 2: taught to just shut your mouth and if you have
Speaker 2: to cry, go to the bathroom, go cry in.
Speaker 1: The corner, do something. Don't let them see you.
Speaker 2: And that's what I always did. Yeah, and that's what
Speaker 2: I always did. But you know, I hate to talk
Speaker 2: about him because he's not here. But we had Todd
Speaker 2: Gordon on Todd Gordon goes, oh, should I talk about
Speaker 2: the time that Anthony thought you should give him a
Speaker 2: BJ because you know, you were his manager and he
Speaker 2: felt like he deserved one.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, we don't have to, we don't
Speaker 1: have to really go into details. Me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know that's a lot of the nineties.
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like the women or have more
Speaker 2: respect maybe nowadays, but like back then, I was just
Speaker 2: trying to prove myself and like, yeah, I want to
Speaker 2: work and I want to be seen as one of
Speaker 2: the boys.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be seen as.
Speaker 2: Some girl who came in as somebody's girlfriend off the street.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: So when the guys would say stuff and then he
Speaker 2: did I would kind of just brush it off, and
Speaker 2: some got the hint, some didn't, and you just roll
Speaker 2: with the punches.
Speaker 1: And that's what I did, all right, Yeah, well you
Speaker 1: have to do that.
Speaker 2: But I never knew if it was deliberate or if
Speaker 2: he just if it was accidental, because things had happened
Speaker 2: before that bomb.
Speaker 4: And I always mean, I mean, from what I could
Speaker 4: tell of, just just the wrong angle, and I would
Speaker 4: have just held you instead of let you go.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, I gotcha.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about something fun. Let's talk about Busted Open.
Speaker 2: You have a spin off now you do the Fat
Speaker 2: and the Furious. I think you're the Furious, Okay, am
Speaker 2: I right on that one.
Speaker 4: You are correct.
Speaker 1: You've been with them for years now, right since.
Speaker 4: I've been with Busted Open now for six years.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, how did your spin off?
Speaker 2: Because now we have Busted Open after Dark it's on
Speaker 2: Wednesday nights at ten pm.
Speaker 4: Correct, yes, right after Dynamite.
Speaker 1: Okay, great, how did that come to play?
Speaker 4: Did you say again?
Speaker 1: Did you pitch it?
Speaker 4: They asked me about it. They had asked me about it,
Speaker 4: and I and I said, yeah, sure, I would be
Speaker 4: interested in doing my own thing. So like you just
Speaker 4: mentioned The Fat and the Furious, Like Dave Lagreca is
Speaker 4: the guy that created Busted Open, he's the lead host,
Speaker 4: it's his rock and roll band, it's his baby. I'm
Speaker 4: the first one that got on board with Dave uh
Speaker 4: just basically on a conversation that we had one day,
Speaker 4: and I was looking at it from like a like
Speaker 4: when you watch a show on ESPN, like with Shannon
Speaker 4: Sharp and and any like a stephen A Smith where
Speaker 4: you have the the expert, you know, or Hall of
Speaker 4: Famer or the pro up and and the fan, and
Speaker 4: that's what gives Busted Open that interesting dynamic. Then we
Speaker 4: brought Dreamer on board, Then we brought Mark Henry on board,
Speaker 4: Then Mickey James came on board. So when whenever Dave
Speaker 4: is out and I host the show, I always like
Speaker 4: to give the show a little bit of a name
Speaker 4: or a little bit of flavor. So when it's me
Speaker 4: and Tommy, we call it The Fat and the Furious,
Speaker 4: you know, And then when it's me and Mark Henry,
Speaker 4: I named it the Hall of Fame and Pain. So
Speaker 4: you always know what you're getting as a listener. And
Speaker 4: Busted Open after Dark is just me and whatever music
Speaker 4: I want. To play and whatever I want to talk
Speaker 4: about with Dynamite. And I've been asked like, how come
Speaker 4: you don't have any guests on your show. I said,
Speaker 4: I don't want guests. I want the fans to be
Speaker 4: my guests. The only feedback that I want is from
Speaker 4: the fan base who just watched the show on TV
Speaker 4: or just left the arena. I basically wanted to be
Speaker 4: like a tailgate party after a rock and roll show,
Speaker 4: or a tailgate party after a wrestling event, where everybody's
Speaker 4: in the parking lot and like, oh my god, that
Speaker 4: was great. You remember this? Did you see this? And
Speaker 4: just it's it's it's generating by how I felt about
Speaker 4: what I just watched, constructive criticism, and then I open
Speaker 4: up to the callers and we talk about wrestling. And
Speaker 4: my persona on Busted Open after Dark is more of
Speaker 4: my just genuine jovial persona, Like I don't even call
Speaker 4: myself Bully Ray. I call myself Uncle Bully. You know,
Speaker 4: come hang out with Uncle Bully for the night, Lay
Speaker 4: on my couch, tell me your problems. Oh, I tell
Speaker 4: all the hot chicks to call in. We'll put you
Speaker 4: on first.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's what I was going to ask you,
Speaker 2: so the chicks go to the front of the line.
Speaker 2: Is the slogan that you use, right, Are you hooked
Speaker 2: up with the UH because you're doing it from your
Speaker 2: home obviously. Are you hooked up with like a producer
Speaker 2: that handles your phone calls?
Speaker 1: How do you know who's calling?
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, it's full blown radio, full blown radio. F
Speaker 4: it's a serious what the hours are, state.
Speaker 3: Of the art.
Speaker 4: It's state of the art. I have two producers with me. Okay,
Speaker 4: live call ins. I mean I get call in from Canada,
Speaker 4: you know, from the West Coast, from from every everywhere.
Speaker 4: And what when I you know, when I talk about
Speaker 4: women calling in, I always like to put first time
Speaker 4: callers on first. And I like to hear from our
Speaker 4: female UH fan base because you know, pro wrestling is
Speaker 4: really dominated by dudes. You know. I always like it
Speaker 4: when when women call in to talk about wrestling or
Speaker 4: to give their opinion about wrestling or ask a question
Speaker 4: about it. So and it's also a little you know,
Speaker 4: I have fun with it. But it's chivalrous. You know,
Speaker 4: you open the door for a lady, you know, you
Speaker 4: let them. You know, it's just gentlemen ly to let
Speaker 4: the lady go first, and that's why I love it.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't hurt if they're hot.
Speaker 1: Well, how do you know they're hot?
Speaker 4: I really don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they conne.
Speaker 4: The sweetest, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think you close your eyes and everyone's hot, right,
Speaker 2: turn out the lights, same deal.
Speaker 4: That's it when you're in the when you're in the
Speaker 4: bar at two in the morning and the lights come on,
Speaker 4: you know what that's called. It's the moment of truth.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, You're like, oh oh yeah, so yeah, put.
Speaker 2: The shades back on one one of these nights.
Speaker 1: Can I pick your your band? Uh?
Speaker 4: Who's your favorite band of all time?
Speaker 1: Duran?
Speaker 4: You know? Oh my you know? Yes, I will? You will?
Speaker 4: You know as a kid growing up.
Speaker 1: Were they your favorite? Two?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Did you want to marry John Taylor? Like?
Speaker 4: No, quite the opposite. But here's the thing. So, growing
Speaker 4: up as a kid in New York, I used to
Speaker 4: listen to Z one hundred mm hm and Duran Duran
Speaker 4: was on every other song. I mean, Duran Duran was
Speaker 4: the hottest band in the world. There you go. So
Speaker 4: I'd be like, what is it? D DD sucks a matter?
Speaker 4: Where's Judas Priest?
Speaker 6: And I had made a slayer in Metallica. Meanwhile, where
Speaker 6: were all the hot chicks concept?
Speaker 4: Because they were all hot and it took me. It
Speaker 4: took me years. And the light bulb. It's kind of
Speaker 4: like when you figure out psychology and a wrestling match
Speaker 4: for the first time. The light bulb goes off and
Speaker 4: you're like, oh wow. And then that day came when
Speaker 4: I was like, Wow, durand Duran is really good.
Speaker 1: But you don't like any of their music.
Speaker 4: I like, I like a lot of their music. Okay,
Speaker 4: I even that what was that one last hit they had,
Speaker 4: the Ordinary World?
Speaker 1: Oh beautiful song.
Speaker 4: What a great song.
Speaker 2: Beautiful song. I love New Moon on Monday. That's like
Speaker 2: my favorite one from them. The Chauffeur is a good one.
Speaker 2: I'm just in love with the band. I'm in love
Speaker 2: with John I will be until I die. He was
Speaker 2: supposed to be my husband. I don't know what happened
Speaker 2: with that, you know, but they are my favorite. And
Speaker 2: I said to myself, I'm going to ask Bobbo one
Speaker 2: of these days if he can do Duran Duran, maybe.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll have you on one night and uh and uh,
Speaker 4: you can introduce Duran Duran as the band of the night.
Speaker 1: I would love to, Okay, just pick a knight that
Speaker 1: I'm awake, because sometimes I fall asleep early. Fred I'm
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit on the older side. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what.
Speaker 2: I've only been to I think five concerts my whole life,
Speaker 2: maybe six. One of them was Kiss and I wasn't
Speaker 2: even a fan, but I became a fan after I
Speaker 2: went to the concert.
Speaker 4: But who took yes?
Speaker 1: And he made me that bastard.
Speaker 2: So he made me carry a cooler, a big ass
Speaker 2: cooler because we had the box, the press box, the you.
Speaker 2: And he said he they won't check if a girl's
Speaker 2: carrying it.
Speaker 1: So he goes in.
Speaker 2: Damien Farren goes in, and here with this cooler, and
Speaker 2: we lined Coca Cola cans on the top, but underneath
Speaker 2: was like a bottle of jack.
Speaker 1: There was like all this liquor.
Speaker 2: And I'm saying, and they're walking away from me, and
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I'm going to get arrested. And I don't
Speaker 2: even know where. I think I was in Baltimore, Maryland.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to get back, you know
Speaker 2: what is going on? And the guy goes open your
Speaker 2: cooler and I opened it, and I smiled and he
Speaker 2: goes go ahead, and my heart was like, thank you.
Speaker 1: Sir, and I close it.
Speaker 2: I ran like hell, but it was heavy, but you know,
Speaker 2: we got in there. But it was a great concert.
Speaker 1: I was so impressed because they all had big high
Speaker 1: heels on yes and.
Speaker 2: Running up and down and I said, Jesus, I'm a
Speaker 2: girl and I can't even do that.
Speaker 1: That concert was great. But the best concert I ever
Speaker 1: went to the Wiggles. Wiggles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't say that I've been to a Wiggles show.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you. Parked the car, had my kids
Speaker 2: with me. They were tiny, saw two Wiggles walking across
Speaker 2: the street. We grabbed those kids and drug them down
Speaker 2: the street to get the Wiggles and.
Speaker 1: Take the picture with them. And they were the nicest
Speaker 1: and they rocked and I loved them.
Speaker 2: And it's the only time I really marked out because
Speaker 2: my kids were so happy.
Speaker 4: I was just going to say, you marked out for
Speaker 4: the Wiggles.
Speaker 1: Totally marked out. Oh my god. I knew their names.
Speaker 2: We took their pictures, they touched my kids, and then
Speaker 2: at the thing, my daughter gave the bow to the
Speaker 2: girl and she wore the bow and it was just
Speaker 2: as a parent. That made my heart so happy. So
Speaker 2: that was my favorite concert that I've ever been to.
Speaker 2: But I haven't been too many because I have anxiety.
Speaker 2: I always feel like, if I'm in a out and
Speaker 2: I have to pee, I'm going to keep my pants
Speaker 2: because I can't get to a bath room. Okay, I
Speaker 2: have problems now that you could just wear an adult
Speaker 2: viper and you're good to go.
Speaker 4: But back in the day, I see some of your
Speaker 4: posts that you put up there on the old Twitter machine.
Speaker 1: Have you got?
Speaker 4: You got things going? They got that this ended cameras
Speaker 4: down your throat.
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't even do that yet. I'm freaking out
Speaker 2: about that. And now a urologist wants to see me.
Speaker 2: So now I have urology. A G I an O
Speaker 2: G B Y. I got everything going on? Everything? Yeah,
Speaker 2: just say a prayer.
Speaker 4: For me, because I'm sure you'll be okay. Your hardcore,
Speaker 4: you're extreme, You're extreme.
Speaker 1: Have you gotten the upper and lower gimmick yet?
Speaker 4: Have you gotten the upper and lower? Given? I feel
Speaker 4: like you should have taken a drag off of a
Speaker 4: cigarette then ended it with brother. Have you got the
Speaker 4: upper and lower yet?
Speaker 3: Brother?
Speaker 1: Has?
Speaker 4: Actually? Actually, I got the camera shoved up my butt
Speaker 4: because I had something happened to me about a year
Speaker 4: ago that scared scared me.
Speaker 1: Blood in your.
Speaker 4: Blood, like bad blood. I thought I was gonna bleed
Speaker 4: out and I got to the hospital. Was no, no,
Speaker 4: it was. I never took pain pills in my whole life,
Speaker 4: you know, and that which is a miracle coming out
Speaker 4: of E CW. But what I did take for the
Speaker 4: pain all my career were advill and a leave. Well,
Speaker 4: I guess just after twenty five years of advil and
Speaker 4: a leave, it doesn't it doesn't sit right with you
Speaker 4: and you get like these blood pockets that'll build up.
Speaker 4: Why why is your mouth dropped open right now? You okay?
Speaker 2: Because my doctor just asked me what do you take
Speaker 2: at night for pain? I said, I take one a
Speaker 2: leave and he said, stop taking that.
Speaker 1: It's going to destroy your stomach.
Speaker 4: It can, Yeah, it definitely can. Honestly though, Franny, I
Speaker 4: don't think one is going to do it.
Speaker 1: One.
Speaker 4: I mean I was swallowing. I was swallowing like four
Speaker 4: or five a night to deal with the pain. So
Speaker 4: because I never wanted to get on percocets or you know,
Speaker 4: any of that stuff. So what happened to a lot
Speaker 4: of the guys. But yeah, after twenty five years of
Speaker 4: taking it, finally caught of me. And I'm and I'm
Speaker 4: bleeding like crazy. So they told me, uh, you know
Speaker 4: tomorrow you're going to go in for uh what's the thing?
Speaker 4: When they shove it up the butt?
Speaker 1: I think it's a lower colonoscopy, isn't it?
Speaker 4: Okay? Yeah, So I'm in the the the room of
Speaker 4: the exam room with five female nurses. Now you want
Speaker 4: to feel vulnerable, You're naked in a hospital gown. But
Speaker 4: why you're flipped over on your side and trying to
Speaker 4: make chit chat?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about the weather? I don't are
Speaker 1: you putting yourself over to them telling them?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, not at all.
Speaker 1: Out.
Speaker 4: I didn't hit it with the old Do you know
Speaker 4: how who I am? When I was face down? Ass up? Uh?
Speaker 4: But this was funny. So the lady who uh uses
Speaker 4: the uh you know, the stuff to put you to sleep?
Speaker 1: The thing?
Speaker 4: I think the thing? Yeah, anesthesiologist. So I look at
Speaker 4: the size of the needle she has that she's gonna
Speaker 4: pump into me my IV And I'm wondering to myself,
Speaker 4: is this gonna be enough. So I said to her,
Speaker 4: I'm like, excuse me, ma'am, do you really think you
Speaker 4: have enough in there for somebody my size? And she's like, Oh,
Speaker 4: don't worry about it, You're gonna be fine. This is
Speaker 4: And I remember looking at the clock and it was
Speaker 4: two minutes to twelve noon and I said to myself,
Speaker 4: I wonder if she's gonna And then I woke up
Speaker 4: in the recovery room. That's how quick it knocked me out. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just scared because it's upper lower. And then
Speaker 2: the scope because he goes, oh, we have to get
Speaker 2: a scope.
Speaker 1: See. I had five surgeries on my stomach.
Speaker 2: Five two were sea sections, three were to repair my
Speaker 2: abdominal region. Right, I've had a surgery twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, so three consecutive years they worked on the
Speaker 2: same part. And the third year they put a mesh
Speaker 2: panel over my abs to hold them together. Now I'm
Speaker 2: getting to the point where where I when I eat
Speaker 2: something pain, I'm in pain, and I'm bloated. I always
Speaker 2: look like I'm pregnant. And you know as well as
Speaker 2: I do. If you go into the gym and you
Speaker 2: work out. You see results on every single body part
Speaker 2: except for the mid section, and my mid section looks
Speaker 2: like I'm three months pregnant.
Speaker 1: I'm sick of it. So I wanted to go to
Speaker 1: the doctor see what's going on. Initially, he said.
Speaker 2: You have so much scar tissue built up that it's
Speaker 2: never going to go away. And he said in the bloating,
Speaker 2: we don't know, so we have to do you know,
Speaker 2: we want to do the upper and lower and then
Speaker 2: we want to do the scope and see what's going
Speaker 2: on and see if you.
Speaker 1: Have an ulcer.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's triggering what's you know, happening down there.
Speaker 1: I don't know when.
Speaker 2: Anytime I eat, it could be a cracker or it
Speaker 2: could be a seven course meal.
Speaker 1: Fat as a house.
Speaker 2: And it's annoying because I'm trying to stay in cheap
Speaker 2: and look good for fifty one. But you get this
Speaker 2: part of you that you can't control, and so it's
Speaker 2: it's put me in a little bit of a depression
Speaker 2: because I'm not pregnant and I look pregnant.
Speaker 4: I saw you the other day, you look good.
Speaker 1: I'm thick. When when was you thick? You know?
Speaker 4: I don't agree with you.
Speaker 2: Well, look I appreciate it, but the next time I'll
Speaker 2: let you. I'd be part of the Fat and the Fat,
Speaker 2: Fat Furious.
Speaker 4: Team Fat the Furious, Oh my.
Speaker 1: God, terrible.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm going to get it checked out. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: let you know how it goes. I do want to
Speaker 2: come on your show one night and we'll sit here
Speaker 2: tell the people where they can find you. I mean
Speaker 2: we just kind of talked about it, but on the
Speaker 2: Twitter machine and everywhere else.
Speaker 4: I don't even know my handles.
Speaker 2: I think you're at Bully Ray is real.
Speaker 4: It's real Bully fifty one fifty okay on the Twitter machine,
Speaker 4: and then on Instagram it's Bully Ray Team three D
Speaker 4: Academy or something like that. I don't even know. You
Speaker 4: probably find me at your local McDonald's.

Speaker 4: starts getting serious.
Speaker 1: Follow me everywhere? Yes, you need followers. We need to follow.
Speaker 4: Each other, all right, one day we'll go get drunk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to figure well, definitely WrestleMania weekend, yes,
Speaker 2: but that's far away.
Speaker 1: I did invite you to my Burgatta event.
Speaker 4: I was busy doing a job.
Speaker 2: You were busy job into a girl. That's okay, I understand. Listen,
Speaker 2: this was great. I want to have you back on.
Speaker 1: In the future.
Speaker 4: Well anytime we.
Speaker 2: Didn't, we hardly scratched the surface. I kept you fifteen
Speaker 2: minutes later.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4: Why don't we have you on Busted Open on a Wednesday?
Speaker 4: Because every Wednesday we do Women of Wednesday, women who

Speaker 4: and getting blitzed. I love it.

Speaker 1: All right, that was a good one. That was a
Speaker 1: fun one.
Speaker 2: I didn't expect the bleeding from the a hole at
Speaker 2: the end, but you know that's always on.
Speaker 1: Jim that nobody else probably touched on it this business.
Speaker 3: So that's the headline, Face down, ass Up Bully Ray
Speaker 3: with five women.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like the Tony Storm thing sits
Speaker 2: out shoe watch for the shoe, but face down, ass up.
Speaker 3: It's great as somebody who can sit here and always
Speaker 3: listen to guys and gals like self. Yeah, history fly
Speaker 3: on the wall. I love it. I could listen to
Speaker 3: you guys talk for hours.
Speaker 2: We could have did that for hours because there's so
Speaker 2: much history between us. And for everybody who says he's
Speaker 2: not a nice guy, he really is a nice guy.
Speaker 1: Like I just don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe because I've known him for so long.
Speaker 2: I just feel like he gets a bad rap, but
Speaker 2: tremendous worker, even better person.
Speaker 1: So so throwed that he came on, and I think
Speaker 1: for our first I heeart episode, that was a good one.
Speaker 2: Absolutely so happy to have had him.
Speaker 1: He broke the cherry.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's right. I'm gonna say it's a New York thing.
Speaker 4: I have to say.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna go out on a limb and
Speaker 3: just say some people may not understand what it's like
Speaker 3: in the Northeast, the New York attitude. Some people are
Speaker 3: in your face. I mean I had you know coaches
Speaker 3: like that growing up that they're in your face.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you might not like it. They tell it
Speaker 4: like it is. You know. I was afraid if I
Speaker 4: said boo.
Speaker 3: He was gonna say shut up, but I was gonna
Speaker 3: say hey, I didn't want to say a word for
Speaker 3: you're a coach or bubba no bubba.
Speaker 4: I know, okay, but no.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's a lot of the criticism
Speaker 3: is that they're afraid. I think people that they don't
Speaker 3: get the New York attitude. And he's got it and
Speaker 3: he's the man. I mean, what can you say?
