1
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Oh boy, here we go. We're flashing back, We're going

2
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: in time. It's the eyes up here, flashback here on

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: Creative Control. You didn't know by now. My name is

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: Chad and every single week here I go back in

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: time with my partner in crime, Queen of Extreme Francine.

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: This is your time travel technically not mine. Yeah, it's mine,

7
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: and I do remember a little bit of it. Usually

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: I have no recollection of what the hell is going on,

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: but you know, I went to Tokyo twice in my career,

10
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: and this is one of the times I got to

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: go to Japan. So pretty cool. FMW got it through Sabou.

12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: This is very cool. You give the whole backstory. Yeah,

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: you did it. We went through the whole thing, why

14
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: you were there, what went on while you were there,

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: some of the sites that you saw while you were there,

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: things that we went through, this whole thing. So this

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: is a time to look back on for sure. But

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: we have covered both of your trips to Japan, and

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: did we cover how much I got paid for for

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: both of those? Because you cover that, we cover that

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: in this episode. It was an experience, so yeah, it was.

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: It was a good experience. It was a fun experience

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: and much different back then than it was to work

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: in the States. So I'm glad I got to do it,

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: and I hope you all enjoyed this episode. We enjoyed

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: talking about it, and you know, it gives you a

27
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: little taste of a life on the road, so to speak.

28
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: You know, when we travel, especially to another country. Oh,

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: we get everything you tell us, every flight, you tell

30
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: us about the accommodations. It's, yes, very comprehensive. But I

31
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: will say, you know, just for our own laugh in

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: between the two of us, it's not the the karaoke

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: version of your Japanese tour, the with the girls singing

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: on the outside. It's not that one. That'll be the

35
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: next time we cover Japan. Yeah, this was a different

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: This was a different Yeah. Well I did do to

37
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: two tours. Uh so this is the other tour. But

38
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: there's a there's always something going on in my life,

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: and uh this doesn't disappoint this. This was a good flashback,

40
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: something different, and I hope you all enjoy it absolutely,

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,320

00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: one of the e CW tours that came to the

00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: Far East. Uh pairing off with FMW, but this match

00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have on in the background was Shane and

56
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Tommy Dreamer for the e CW Heavyweight Championship, although other

57
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: matches on this tour intermingled the e CW roster with FMW.

58
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: Tell yeah we the one I know, the one tour

59
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: we worked with and I can't even pronounce it. Is

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: it Jado Gato Ghetto, I believe ghetto, ghetto, ghetto or

61
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: it's either ghetto or jado Yeah, yeah, we or Gato

62
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Gato I thought it was pronounced, but I know three ways. Yeah,

63
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: we did a couple things out there, so but I

64
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: I kind of remember this night because I kind of

65
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: remember a couple of the spots, but I haven't watched

66
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: it in a really long time, so it'll be fun

67
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: to see it in reminisce. Yeah, I've seen it before,

68
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: but not in a while. I was actually looking for

69
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: the Gato match because it's a little shorter, so I

70
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: kind of wanted a smaller sample, and I thought it'd

71
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: be interesting to see the Japanese talent versus you know,

72
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: the guy jeans working each other. But since it is

73
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: long enough, we'll be able to just kind of chitchat

74
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: in between and talk about your experiences there, because I'm

75
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: guessing this the first time you went to Japan or

76
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: was it one tour before. I think it was the

77
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: first time, because the second tour I was actually working

78
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: with Tommy and it was for a pay per view

79
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: gotcha Okay? And this one, I think it was just

80
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: like hew show kind of we recorded stuff for our

81
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: show back in the state, right right, which, Yeah, and

82
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: it was I think it was a commercial release, but

83
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: I know it was in Japan and it was a

84
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: big commercial release, because that's the one you can find online.

85
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: But I think I don't know if they put it

86
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: on one of those compilation DVDs at ECW put out

87
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: in the late CW Pioneer DVDs literally one of the

88
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: first wrestling shows on DVD. They they I know they

89
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: aired stuff on our hardcore TV. I can't remember. Somebody

90
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: the other day said, oh, I just watched you in

91
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: Japan on Instagram, and I'm like where and he said,

92
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: he said, oh, a guy put puts up clips. He's

93
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: like an ECW. I forget what the Instagram thing is,

94
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: but he always puts up different clips and like little

95
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: movies and stuff. And he it was when I was

96
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: in Discord on Tuesday. Oh okay, so I switched over

97
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: real quick and it was us in Japan and we

98
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: did like an autograph Q and not a Q and A,

99
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: but an autograph signing, and there was just it looked

100
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: like there was just a million people there and I

101
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: didn't understand a word anybody was saying to me. And

102
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: then one of the guys said something to me and

103
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: I looked at him, like, what the hell are you

104
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: talking about. It was just it was funny because the

105
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: translation wise, I didn't know anything. And like a lot

106
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: of those guys worked in Japan so many times that

107
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: you pick up the language, you know, but may it

108
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: was my first time over there. I didn't know how

109
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: to use my money. I had all this yen and

110
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: I think I might have said this story before. We

111
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: would go to get food, and like, I was so

112
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: scared to try like these different foods. So I would

113
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: just always buy the tuna. Oh. I talked about it

114
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: with Lance Wayte when he was on. I would buy

115
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: the tuna with the seaweed and the rice, and I

116
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: would literally just throw money at the cashier and she

117
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: would look at me like and I say, I would go,

118
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: I know, I know speak Japanese. No yen, I don't know. Oh,

119
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: And they'd always giggle at me because I'm just this dumb,

120
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: little white girl from the States. I don't know what's

121
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: going on. They could have Robbie blind. I could have

122
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: paid one hundred dollars for that stupid lika. I would

123
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: have even known it, but they'd always give me change.

124
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: And you know, I didn't know the currency at all.

125
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: But beautiful place to be, absolutely beautiful. Now this trip

126
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: we actually got to sight see. So we had a

127
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: sponsor that took us around. And I remember being in

128
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: the hotel room and there's a knock at the door

129
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: and I'm in the shower and I'm thinking it's like

130
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: one of the boys or something. And I come to

131
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: the to the door and I opened the door and

132
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: it's a father and his children and he's got the

133
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: autograph book and he's got a cat and he's going, oh,

134
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: picture a picture, and I know I'm in a towel. No,

135
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: you come back later. But that's what they did. They

136
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: were there was always people in the hotel lobby waiting

137
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: and they would just call. They would give our room

138
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: numbers down. They would come up to the room. Oh wow,

139
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: damn yeah, it was and the language barrier, no, no, no,

140
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: you come. And I literally would have to be like,

141
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, when you talk slower, Yeah, you think they'll understand,

142
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: but it really it makes no sense because you're still

143
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: saying the same words right right. And I'm just like,

144
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: you come back later, and just looking at me and

145
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: the kids are just looking at me in this town

146
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: and I'm oh, man, it's got to be so different now,

147
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: it's gotta be so so you can put on your

148
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: iPhone what you want to say, and it'll say it

149
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: to them. Yes, exactly, there's translators. But I didn't know anything,

150
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: and like we went, we got to go, uh walk

151
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: around Tokyo because I know when we went to the building,

152
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: we had to get on a bus. Was it this

153
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: trip or the last one? One of the times we

154
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: had to get on a bus and it took forever? Oh,

155
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: there we go. Okay, I stopped talking. No, no, no,

156
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: it's fine, No no no, I just wanted to bring it up.

157
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: You keep talking. You're on a bus. It took forever.

158
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: But the but on I think it was on this

159
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: trip we might have had to take like get home ourselves.

160
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: And I remember, Shane, this is a great story. So

161
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Shane and I took a cab. Right, we took a

162
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: cab back to the hotel. But the problem with that

163
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: is we didn't know the name of the hotel and

164
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: we didn't know the street that it was on, So

165
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: we literally drove around for I don't even know how long,

166
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: and our driver didn't speak a word of English, and

167
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: we didn't have cell phones, so we couldn't get a

168
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: hold of saboo. Oh man, We and I remember Shane

169
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: screaming out the car window to a lady. She was

170
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: pulling pushing the stroller, and he starts talking to her,

171
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: and then he takes a picture of her because we

172
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: had a I think we had a disposable camera or

173
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: he's going picture pictures. It was so stupid. But we

174
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: just drove around forever because we didn't know where our

175
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: hotel was. And that's how dumb him and I were

176
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: that day. Oh my god, See I'd be so I'd

177
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: be so intimidated by that. It was scary because I

178
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: kept well, if I was by myself, I would have

179
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: shit my pants. I would have literally, you're in another country.

180
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: You don't know where you're going. But I mean him

181
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: and I were just in the back of this cab

182
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: and I don't know how we finally found it. I

183
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: think we drove. We just kept driving and it looked

184
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: familiar and we jumped out. But it took a long

185
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: time to find our hotel, so we had no clue.

186
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: Sa Boo got married. That's a nice tidbit. Taboo got married.

187
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: So we got to go to the reception. Uh, and

188
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: that was fun, you know, But that the wedding was

189
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: so different. There was no dancing, no dj like, we

190
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: basically just sat around and talked because it wasn't like

191
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: a traditional American wedding. It was a Japanese ceremony. So

192
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: it was very, very different, very I don't even think

193
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: I ate because the food was weird and it was

194
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: just weird. But it was nice to be there for Sabou. So, yeah,

195
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: that's very cool. That's it. And then it says it

196
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: on a lot of the things. It says SAB's wedding

197
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: slash the e C W F MW tour. Yeah, and

198
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: I think we got on the I want to say

199
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: it was the Bullet train and we the one day

200
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: we went to the mall and we were all in

201
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: the elevator and I remember, I think it was Shane

202
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: farted and he got out and it wasn't the right floor,

203
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: but he got out because he farted, and the doors

204
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: the doors closed, and I remember I was with the Dudleys,

205
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: and then we just all looked at each other. We

206
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: were like, good lord, because we weren't the only ones

207
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: in there, and it's so that was great. Okay, So

208
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: now all right, so you guys have made your way

209
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: to the ring Tommy's already in the ring. Tommy comes

210
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: down to man in the box, right, you guys come

211
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: out to Welcome to the jungle. Well that was that

212
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: was Bambam's music. That was weird. It's just weird. It

213
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: was welcome to the job. I was shocked. I was

214
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: not expecting it because Tommy got mad in the box

215
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: and you guys have they yeah, maybe yeah, saying I'm

216
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: Ichy Bond, I'm number one. I remember right there. Yeah.

217
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: Well I think they looking looking quite jacked. The franchise

218
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: there very uh, very much jacked at that stage. Now

219
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: he was letting his hair grow out. Yeah, Tommy and

220
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: Tommy had hair there, so there's there. You go, look

221
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: at the glare, there's Tommy. Yeah, he's he's your he's

222
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: your baby face, folks. He is now the crowd yes, quiet,

223
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: completely different. This This was difficult to work because I'm

224
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: so used to feeding off of people, you know, and

225
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: they back then it was just so I don't know

226
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: if you can call it a respect factor, but they

227
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: would be very very quiet, and then you would hear

228
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: oh oh, and you know, when I'm banging on the mat,

229
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: I want them to clap with me, and they don't

230
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: do that there at this point. It's also difficult. You

231
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: just the ref of course, I did. You know, you're

232
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: trying to call spots and talk and you're trying to

233
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: be very quiet, but when you could hear a pin drop,

234
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: they can hear it as well, the fans, you know

235
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: what I mean. So it's it was just a different

236
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: atmosphere to work in. I found it more difficult than

237
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: to work in the United States, for sure. Oh, absolutely, yeah,

238
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: because I mean you could just see right now, I mean,

239
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: this is the start of a championship match and they're

240
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: just sitting and they're watching, and you can hear every

241
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: word they're saying exactly. Plus I there was a time

242
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: when I went around to the announcing table and I

243
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: could hear them doing commentary and I would hear Francy

244
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: and then you'd hear all oh, and I didn't know

245
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: what they were saying, so I didn't know how to react,

246
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I didn't know if it

247
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: was a good thing a bad thing. So it was

248
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: just different. So yeah, very different, And I'm glad I

249
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: went there and again injury working with that broken wrist

250
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: or arm that he had. Yeah, he's got it so

251
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: heavily tailed. That's what I was looking at. He's so

252
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: taped up. He basically looks like he's wearing a boxing glove.

253
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: That's how taped up his hand is right now. You know,

254
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: in the later part of his career in ECW, he

255
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: was hurt a lot. Yeah, he had a lot of

256
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: misfortune and just hurt a lot. So I was just

257
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: happy that he did this because I would have you know,

258
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: I missed Raw. I didn't want to miss your pan, right.

259
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: I was really glad that he was able to pull

260
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: through and get this done. I was actually and for

261
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: those who were watching Shane meticulously, just watch how he's

262
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: usually one side of his body to work. And I

263
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: just saw that in the corner Tommy, how he literally

264
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: he turned his body to avoid any contact with his hand.

265
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: And it's just that's a smart worker right there without

266
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: it doubt. Now, it's funny you mentioned the raw thing.

267
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: I was actually considering, Oh, now you're in the ring.

268
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: Look at that early in the in the contest. I

269
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: love all the men. I just lure them all to

270
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: their to their doom. I was considering using that raw,

271
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: the ninety seven raw where ECW invaded Raw just to

272
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: get your take on what happened, even though I know

273
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: you weren't there, just because it's such a pivotal point,

274
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: but that's a great thing to bring up. You weren't

275
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: at that one. You made sure you were at this one.

276
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, you know, screw me once, shame

277
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: on you screw me twice, shame on me. I was like, shait,

278
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: we have to go to Japan. Go on, you can

279
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: work through this. And he did, and and and Tommy's

280
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: great with working around things, you know what I mean?

281
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: Like that that we've worked together so often, the three

282
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: of us here that you know your strengths, you know

283
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: your weaknesses, so of course they can have a good

284
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: match with with a broken arm, no problem. And you

285
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: now using the arm as this, you know that's what

286
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna work on. And Tommy's gonna wear down, he's

287
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: gonna wear down the hand and he already put him

288
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: in an arm bar so smart. But now here we are,

289
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, ECW style in the crowd. Another thing here

290
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: there's no barriers. You know, there's no barricade, so you're look, yeah,

291
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: you're right there, just throw him right into the crowd. Yeah,

292
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: and these people don't know what the hell. I love

293
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: that referee. I can't remember his name, but he was awesome,

294
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: very fun to work with, and I didn't half the time.

295
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know what the hell he was saying to me,

296
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: but we communicated very well. It's a whole other world

297
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, and you know, I didn't really get

298
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: into the Japanese stuff like FMW at that point. I mean,

299
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: I saw your classic New Japan because you know, you

300
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: saw the clips of like you know, Terry Funk and

301
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan and you know, all the the guy jeans

302
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: that were there in the eighties and seventies. I didn't

303
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: get into like when Funk and Cactus Jack we're in

304
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: the exploding matches and the barb wire this and the

305
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, pit of death and all that crowd. I

306
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: never got into that. So when ECW did this team up,

307
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: it was intriguing because here you go, yes they're brawling,

308
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: but you got two guys who are gonna put on

309
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: a wrestling match amidst a lot of the chaos that

310
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: this show had to offer. There's table you know, craziness

311
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: and ECW and FMW. You know they fit well together.

312
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: They did. Yeah, and like I said this, this particular

313
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: match was for TV, but then we came back for

314
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: an FMW pay per view, and I think the pay

315
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 1: per view is the one I was only there for,

316
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 1: not even thirty six hours, which was hard. That's insane.

317
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what your body, your mind, your head,

318
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, like what that could possibly have felt like. Now,

319
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: how about this? Did they tell you any kind of

320
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: like instructions for like, don't do X with this crowd,

321
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: like any of the innuendo stuff. Did they say nothing

322
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: to do that? Not that I remember. No, i't remember that.

323
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: That's why, you know, I'm trying to like while I'm there,

324
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to listen because if I you know, if

325
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: I lean over, my butt's gonna hang out. And I'm

326
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: trying to get a reaction, and it's like nothing, yeah,

327
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what am I doing wrong? Am I

328
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: not over here in Japan? But they just told me

329
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: this is the way these people are, you know. I mean,

330
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: we got a reaction when we came out because they clap.

331
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: This is the I could hear the pop of the

332
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: koochie claw because they I think we I think we

333
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: swerved them so bad. They didn't know what the hell

334
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: was going on at that point. But yeah, it's it's

335
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: just the Yeah, I'll do it again, I believe, but

336
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: this time next time I'll land on his hand, which

337
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: was a great spot. Yeah, now this is uh, I'm

338
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: sorry getting lost watching it too. Now. The reason I

339
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: said that about the innuendo is just because your entrance

340
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: was the little tamer compared to some of the other ones,

341
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: where there's a little more gyration, there's a little more

342
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, ring rope action. It was just kind of

343
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: you guys got in, he said, ITCHI bond match starts.

344
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: That's why I was asking if they didn't want that.

345
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean not that I I

346
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: can't remember. I don't really believe that. I don't know.

347
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I wasn't feeling frisky that day. The sushi and

348
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: the seaweed could possibly not act as an effrodition. That

349
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: was That was Yeah, well, the sushi seaweed thing was

350
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: at the pay per view and that's when I had

351
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: the diary and missus mahoney didn't get sick. Yeah, yeah,

352
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: and we went to Oh God, it's the Japanese restaurant

353
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: that everybody gets the jack Oh Rivera. Yeah, we went.

354
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: We even went there. I got a jacket and it

355
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: was it was just a cool trip. It was a

356
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: fun trip. Yeah, that's great. I love those jackets. I

357
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: can't say that I see a lot that. That was

358
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: what was nice about it. You know, we got to

359
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: like look around like usually you just go somewhere and

360
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: you see your hotel room and you see the airport.

361
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: And this time we got to literally walk around and

362
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: do things. I'm cheating, cheating, cheater, No, you're just fixing

363
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: your hair. That's all I saw. I just saw you

364
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: fixing your hair. I didn't see any any movement. And see,

365
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: look at that class with the angling of the reft,

366
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: perfect right. How about did you how about the fact

367
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: how wrestlings treated more like a sport there, cheater, did

368
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: you feel that it was just to me, like it

369
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: was more respected, you know what I mean, like, yeah,

370
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: it was a higher respect than the states. That's that's

371
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: the way I thought, you know, the way people talk

372
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: about wrestling, especially we discussed it with like all the

373
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 1: dark side of the ring and all the you know,

374
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: we just went over that list of people who were

375
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: in jail. It's frowned upon a lot and people think

376
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: that stupid people are involved in the sport and this

377
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: and that. But when you go to Japan, it's like

378
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: wrestling is looked at like your royalty, you know what

379
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Like it's important. It's an important thing out there.

380
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, it is different. So yeah, have you did

381
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: you see any of the shops, the wrestling based shops

382
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: that they have in Japan. I mean like they have

383
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: literally like you know where we would equate it to

384
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: like a sports memorabilia store. Here it's wall to wall

385
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: wrestling magazines, gear, you know, action figures. Did you see

386
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: anything like that? Not really, because we just went to

387
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: the mall. Here we go, Oh there it is. Oh yeah,

388
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: the ref would not turn around. He would not turn around.

389
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: I kept saying, turnaround, turnaround. So there's a language barrier

390
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: there for sure. Oh a little too long. You need

391
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: a little you need a little recoup, a little little

392
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: recovery there on the outside, right right, That was a

393
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: good spot. That was a fun spot. I it always

394
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: got a pop. But I see I can't hear, and

395
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if your volume is no, I don't

396
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: have the volume up. No. I think it did get

397
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: a reaction because they you know you could see it.

398
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: Did you could see how they they were moving a

399
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: little bit more? Now, did Tommy and Shane and you

400
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: talk about basically working a match, You guys would have

401
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: worked a million times before this. Or did they have

402
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: to switch it up a little bit because of it

403
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: being in another country. I don't think it was the

404
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: other country factor. I think it was because yeah, I

405
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: got the I'll handle this. I think it was because

406
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: we were actually putting it on TV. Yeah. Uh, so

407
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: we wanted to switch it up a little. We didn't

408
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: want to keep doing the same thing over and over.

409
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: Just make it a little more fresh for people who

410
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: are consistently watching our program. Now the tape skip, it

411
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: wasn't me and you were holding the back of your

412
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: head in the background, So I wonder if something happened

413
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: when we weren't Uh, we didn't see anything. The tape jumped.

414
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even touch anything. Did I give you this tape? No? No, no,

415
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: this is on YouTube. But I could just see the

416
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: tracking jumped and then shame went from being over like

417
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: in the corner to get in a pin. But you

418
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: had you were holding the back of your head. I

419
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: don't remember. Maybe Tommy grabbed me or something I that

420
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Here's the chair spot, so the chair

421
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: will not stay in the ropes where they want it.

422
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: They got to improvise and then nope, Roll up two. Nope,

Speaker 1: But I know if I watch stuff from Japan, now

429
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,199

430
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: was twenty years ago. Yeah. Yeah, now here we go.

Speaker 1: a Japanese tour is quite lucrative as compared to a

00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: normal booking. I was waiting for this. I did not

458
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,560
