Here you go, Hi, 27 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: Freddie and Jeff. My name is Zoe and I'm from Melvin, Australia. 28 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: Very big fan. I love the show. Love listening to 29 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: you guys every week. I would love to know what 30 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: is your opinion on Rains versing the Rock at WrestleMania. 31 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: It's so rumored everyone's talking about it and I want 32 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 1: to know what you guys think. Um, if this makes 33 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: it to the show, thanks for having me on. I 34 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: love you guys. By what's up Zoe? First of all, 35 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: shout out Australia. I love Australia. I love Australians. We 36 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: made the first Scooby Doo movie there, so I lived 37 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: there for six months. I've actually I've actually been to Melbourne. 38 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: Love Australia. I missed that country very very much. But 39 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: to get into your question, who is the true head 40 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: of the table? Now, even The Rock has hinted at 41 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: this In an interview, he was asked by a very 42 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: cheeky interviewer, that's something they say in England and Australia, Jeff, 43 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: they say cheeky and uh. They said, you know, Roman 44 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: reign says he's the head of the table. But you 45 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: know you're still here and you're a great shape. Obviously 46 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: you could you could wrestle. And he said, sort of 47 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: not jokingly but jokingly, Well, you know, I'm I'm always 48 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: the head of the table. I'm not I'm not I'm 49 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: not rocked, damn it. Um. So yeah, I actually think 50 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: this isn't a rumor. I think they're actually trying to 51 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: plan for this, and I think a WrestleMania with The 52 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: Rock and Roman Reigns could happen, should happen, and the 53 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 1: reason why has nothing to do with either of those 54 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: two men. I think that's going to be a big 55 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: opportunity for the Bloodline to get multiple storylines that sort 56 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: of spread off between the USO's and most importantly Solo 57 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: Sakoa because I think ultimately Solo is gonna be the 58 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: one that leaves the bloodline, and I think he may 59 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: even turn baby face inside with the Rock and turn 60 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: against his big brothers who are his actual big brothers 61 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: in real life, and the so called head of the 62 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: table with the perfect teeth, Roman Reigns. Um. I think 63 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: you get a chance to tell multiple stories with one match, 64 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: and it gives multiple characters a chance to get over 65 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: without even having to wrestle. So I think it's much 66 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: more than a rumor. I hope it's much more of 67 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: a rumor. Look, the Rocks not going to be able 68 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: to work the way he did when he was going 69 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: against Stone Cold and and having those awesome matches win loser, draw. 70 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: He didn't draw but win or lose. Um, He's not 71 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: gonna be able to slide in his sweet shoes and 72 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: come to an abrupt halt and hit the most electrifying 73 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: move in uh in sports entertainment. But he can for 74 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: sure pick Roman Reigns up and slam the ship out 75 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: of him, and he can for sure take a few bumps, 76 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: you know. I know he got hurt a little bit 77 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: in the John Cena match, or that was the story 78 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: he might have gone in there already hurt and just 79 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, use that. But but yeah, I think that's 80 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: the that's the moment where you try to make solo 81 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: Sokoa and you and you branch him off from from 82 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: the rest of them. What about you, Jeff Um. I 83 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: would love to see it. I don't know, I'm not 84 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: up to date on any rumors of it happening or 85 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: not having sounds. Like you know, Freddie knows best, but 86 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: I would love to see it. I think it'd be fun. 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: I mean, like anytime the Rocks in there, it's gonna 88 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: be great. And like you know, he's not gonna stay 89 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: a long time. You know, they're not gonna put the 90 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: belt on him because he's too big of he's like 91 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: an A list celebrity now. But I would still love 92 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: to see it. And it's and it's also it's it's 93 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: it's different than the thing, you know, brock and a 94 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: Roman for seventy years in a row, or or having 95 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: to see the same matches like it. It would be 96 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: a fun I just I've I think it'll be perfect 97 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: and also kind of a passing of the torch in 98 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: a way. And I think it just yeah, just be 99 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: cool to see and you know, like and then talking 100 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: about bloodline, the bloodline complete. Get Rakishi out there too, 101 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: Just get the whole, just do the whole bloodline. Get 102 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,119 Speaker 1: them all out there, be fun. I'm excited solo, even 103 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: with the face paint, like, there's so much tribute to 104 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: to Rikishi out there, and and to Omaga as well, 105 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: another family member who's passed on rest in peace and 106 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: Yokozuna Yoko. Yeah, but they don't because he'dline that's the 107 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: bloodline and you can give him a flag, Mr. But 108 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: he's still a samone. Yes, of course, but it's not 109 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: their story. They get just well I guess they could 110 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: because everyone knows now that the same way Roddy Roddy 111 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: Piper was from Oregon, like the Pacific Northwest. Anyways, Zoe, 112 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: we love you in Australia. I might be making a 113 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: movie out there this summer, which is your winter, So 114 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: I'll see you soon, sucker. Mr Alex. Next voice message, 115 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: this one's coming up from Rocky. Hey, what's up Freddy 116 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: and Jeff. I'm a big time fan of the show. 117 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: Loved the content. So my question to you guys is 118 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: if you can bring back an old pay per view 119 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: name all along with the custom entrances I'm talking about, 120 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: like the stages, like the the aesthetics of a pay 121 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: per view. What pay per view would you bring back? 122 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: I know, for me, I was always a big fan 123 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: of the backlash set up where they had those giants 124 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: spikes just swushing back and forth when wrestlers made their entrances. 125 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: I thought that was always a badass entrance um as 126 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: well as others that I can't really think of right now, 127 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: but the unique stage that I think was the absolutely best, 128 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: hands down, was the giant fist for SmackDown. So let 129 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: me know I love the show. Thank you so much. 130 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: I'll have a good one. Rocky, your name is badass bro. 131 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: I named my son Rocky, so your parents have great taste, 132 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: and so do I. UM. As far as bringing something back, 133 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: I think most people agree that that fist that was 134 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: just so great. I think WW might even bring that back. 135 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: I think they miss it too. I know Hunter liked it. 136 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: I remember him talking about it a long time ago. 137 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: For me, and I think I might have spoken about 138 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: this in season one, like episode two. And this will 139 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: sound weird because I'm usually not that guy. Cyber Sunday 140 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: was so sick to me because the fans got to 141 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: pick who the guy in the ring or the girl 142 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: in the ring in this case nowadays was gonna wrestle 143 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: and you were given three options and the fans would vote, 144 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: and your vote was legit. It was not a work. 145 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: I've I've asked a million people about this in the company, 146 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: all three wrestlers. So let's say it's it's Jeff dies 147 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: in the ring and the people that he can fight 148 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: are Freddie Prinz jr. Um Who Ryan Phillippi He's gonna 149 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: pick people from the nineties or Jason Biggs? Okay, And 150 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: you're like, man, who do I want to see Jeff 151 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: Jeff fight? Do I want to see him fight the 152 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: guy that had sex with an apple pie? And Jason Biggs? 153 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: Because I know he just squashed Mr Biggs. He would 154 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: squash him. The guy's screwing pies. Man, he can't wrestle. 155 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: What do you do? I want to see him fight 156 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: Ryan Philippi, who he's got, you know, a lot of 157 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: height on and a lot of weight on.

So the whole crowd will boo 192 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: and be so disappointed that there was no victor. So 193 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: screw you guys. Um. But yeah, man, I always loved 194 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: Cyber Sunday as a kid. I even pitched to bring 195 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: it back when I worked there. Um, but Vince was like, God, 196 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: damn it, no, God, that was the ships and so 197 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: so it didn't happen. But yeah, that would be mine. 198 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: What about you, Jeff? I always loved the I think 199 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: if we're talking about like settings, I've alway I always 200 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: loved the and they tried to bring it back. It 201 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: just didn't. It didn't hold up in modern time. But 202 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: Halloween Havoc I always liked. I think that was just 203 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: there was so much crap outside of the thing that 204 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: they could, like props and like Halloween things that they could. 205 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: You love your props, dude, Yeah, I just but it 206 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: was it was just two nineties. They tried to bring 207 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: it back and it didn't work. But then I've also 208 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: always loved the visual of Thunder. Remember w CW Thunder, 209 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: Like that was like with the blue and the big 210 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: things and um. Also, the that era was so pyro heavy. 211 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: They loved fireworks and like, you know, so, I think 212 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: the reason I like those settings is because it was 213 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: just so larger than life. There wasn't things that you 214 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: had to watch on TV that you could only see 215 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: that they put in like snapchat, you know, added that 216 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: they were there was fire and fireworks and like even 217 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: the smallest wrestlers still had like big pops of pyro 218 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: and it just felt larger than life. And uh and 219 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: I liked it. Also. It has an aesthetic in me 220 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: because I was playing so many wrestling video games back then. 221 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: They'd be like, oh yeah, pick the pick this setting 222 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: so we can you know, throw them through blah blah blah. 223 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: And so there was a lot of that um because 224 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties, every pay per view had 225 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: the same setup like Brawl for All and all that 226 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: are not Brall for All. What's it called super Bowl 227 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: or Beach Blast or any of those things didn't really 228 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: have a setting that was different. It wasn't. It wasn't 229 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: until like the you know, late nineties, where you'd see 230 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: the actual setup was visually different, you know, like Helena 231 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: sell Or, Elimination Chamber, Royal Rumble, like they kind of 232 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: started making the settings have a personality, which I love. 233 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: But I think I would go with Thunder. That's what 234 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: the one that would that would be the one I 235 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: would design. That's super old school, and I don't think 236 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people would think about that because it 237 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: was so unique. But yeah, the Halloween havoc. I think 238 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: it worked then because there were so many wrestlers that 239 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: were suited to a Halloween theme, like with the man 240 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: Kinds and the canes, and it's like nowadays, it would 241 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: be like SHOTSI Blackhard out there by herself waiting for 242 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: someone to cut you know what I mean, be like, oh, 243 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: everyone else is just mainstream and blonde or burnett like so, 244 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: I think that's why the characters aren't suited for Halloween havoc. 245 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: But you could make it a w's got it. It 246 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: could be like, you know, Lucasaurus versus Black Card in 247 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: her gender match at Hallow. Speaking of those video game 248 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: things that they're making, a e W video game that 249 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: was supposed to come out in December. Pretty sick. Oh, 250 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: and it's got the same controls as w C. It'll 251 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: be the only game in the history of the world 252 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: that I'll be able to pick it up and immediately 253 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: be good at. I know I might be unbeatable at 254 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: that game. Um, but we might have to play. It'll 255 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: be fun. We should definitely play. We'll do it. We'll 256 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: do a stream, We'll do a Twitch stream, will play 257 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: some Twitch, We'll do it on YouTube.

Um. 319 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: That said, I am actively working on it. I'm down 320 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: the road pretty far with a couple of different people, 321 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: and uh, I'm working hard. I have to make sure 322 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: they can afford it. Um, I'm budgeting my shows as 323 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: we speak. That's as much information as I'm willing to 324 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: give out, and as far as like, yeah, the plan 325 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: A was was cross and scarlet, and um, I don't 326 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: want to get too much into the story and stuff 327 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: like that. Although Cross knows the story and I told 328 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: me happy Tom happen to have him use it down 329 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: the road if he wants to use it. But when 330 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: he was rehired by Hunter, my plan B right away 331 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: was Windham, who was also a part of my Plan 332 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: A story as well. It was gonna be Windham versus 333 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: Cross for the title, so I I switched Windham to 334 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: the protagonist instead of the antagonist in this story, or 335 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: the baby face instead of the heel. And you know what, 336 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna tell you. Uh. So 337 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: I wanted him and Taylor and I just said, I'm 338 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: gonna tell you everything, but now I kind of don't 339 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: want to. Well, maybe the w w'll here it and 340 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: they'll do this instead of the stupid Uncle Howdy ship 341 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: they're doing now. Um, basically I had Windham and Taylor 342 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: were always together. For those of you don't know, Taylor 343 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: as Wyndham's younger brother. Uh. He plays a character named 344 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: Bo Dallas on w W E. And basically, how do 345 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: I laying this in a quick manner? I can't really 346 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: give you everything, dude, But basically Taylor was the id 347 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: of Wyndham, right like he was the ego of of Wyndham. 348 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: He wasn't even real. No one in the show would 349 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: ever talk to him, acknowledge him, or look at him, 350 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: but Wyndham would have full on conversations with him. I 351 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: thought it was an interesting way to put a wrinkle 352 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: in in their relationship that most certainly wouldn't be told 353 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: anywhere else. I thought it was an opportunity for Taylor 354 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: to show what he can do as far as his acting. 355 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: And remember, I want I want a SAG show, a 356 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: Screen Actors Guild show, a union show. So in order 357 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: to do that, there had to be a scripted part 358 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: that felt like a television series. Um So that was 359 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: gonna be sort of Taylor's role in this was this 360 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: sort of angel and devil on wyndham shoulder that we 361 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: could see. He would often be shot in like the 362 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: reflection of the mirror in Wyndham's dressing room, things like 363 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: at but anytime the promoter came to talk to him, 364 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: they would never even acknowledge him because he legit wasn't there. 365 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: Um So, yeah, that's given you a ton of information. 366 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: But since I'm not doing it, I don't I don't 367 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: mind sharing it with you. And I've already rewritten by 368 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: the way, I'm on like a Plan D right now, 369 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, but yeah, I'm on 370 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: a Plan D. So so many wrestlers are hired and 371 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: fired that I'm constantly seeing opportunities to write interesting stories 372 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: for wrestlers as other opportunities go away, right, because there's 373 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: so many people that are undervalued or or I feel 374 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: used in the wrong way or or any of that. 375 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: But any time I mentioned someone, they get signed. So 376 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm done. Uh, I'm done mentioning people. So yeah, man, 377 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: I appreciate, Uh, I appreciate the questions. Earnie. I couldn't 378 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: understand the name of your podcast, so I can't shout 379 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: it out. But if anyone out there heard it, I 380 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: hope you have a good one, and I hope people 381 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: go listen to it. But but yeah, there's a ton 382 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: of information for for all you people, and it's something 383 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: that I'm that I'm working on very very actively, very 384 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: very actively. There's a reason that I've been going back 385 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: to movies, and that's if I can't get the right 386 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: producer in the right studio behind it, then I'm just 387 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: gonna sell finance. So so yeah, so there you go do. Also, 388 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it might have been I don't 389 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: think it was Freddie, and I don't think it was 390 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: Alex A k a big al Now.

I think it was t n 438 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: A the last time I was watching it back when 439 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: when Jay Lethal was doing Rick Flair promos to Rick Flair. 440 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: I think was probably the last time I watched it 441 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: religiously when Kurt Angel first went there. Um. I think 442 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: I even watched him and Jeff Jared have an mm 443 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: A match on a pay per view. I was one 444 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: of the guys that that was buying paper refused back then. 445 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: I haven't watched it in a long time for multiple reasons. UM, 446 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: I don't have as much time as I used to. 447 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: I have two kids, three dogs, jobs, things like that. UM, 448 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: I record n J P w every week, but I 449 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: haven't watched a new Japan Pro wrestling match and I 450 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: don't know how long, so shame on me. But I 451 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: promise you this, sir. I have access TV. I have 452 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: that channel. Uh so I don't need the YouTube as 453 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: old people would call it, and you have my word. 454 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: I will watch. I know this it's gonna be better 455 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: than an x T because there ain't nothing in the 456 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: world worse than that goddamn show. And I've given it 457 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: a chance, like once every six weeks. I watch a 458 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: little bit and it is absolute garbage. It went from 459 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: my favorite promotion when it was black and gold to unwatchable, 460 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: unwatchable like a like a like a low cool theater 461 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: production like it was the last two times I've tried. 462 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: It was terrible.

What about you, Mr Due, I don't know. 494 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: We're already committing twelve hours a week to watching wrestling. 495 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: This is he's asking us to do more more homework. 496 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, you know. I remember 497 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: back in the day, they did some crazy things where 498 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: they were like they had matches up on like a 499 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: tight rope above the ring, and like the cruiserweights were 500 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: having to like tight rope over these things to get 501 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: to h It was like called an X match or 502 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: something like that. There were like two tight ropes in 503 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: the in the shape of an X, and cats were 504 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: just falling off these wires and landing in the middle 505 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: of the ring. I was like, Jesus Christ, guys are 506 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: killing themselves. Um, and I've always heard good things about 507 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: their women's division. I heard that their referees are dorks. 508 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: That's what I heard. The yeah, I heard the referees 509 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: are always getting distracted by managers and not doing their 510 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: damn job and not watching the match. And one of 511 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: these referees, they're so easy to trick, you know. You 512 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: just basically got to get their attention and then something 513 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: happens behind their back. It's like we've got cameras, can't 514 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: we review this stuff, especially the ones named Daniel. They're 515 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: always getting distracted instead of count the one, two, three, 516 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: or their counts a little slow. Yeah, I've heard about that, Dan, 517 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: So I'll be critiquing you, sir, before I critique anything else. Yeah, 518 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna find your matches and we're gonna we're gonna 519 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: go deep tight on that. I'm just gonna YouTube how 520 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: many times has Dan been distracted and Impact Wrestling, and 521 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: it's just going to be a highlight reel of all 522 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: the times a manager ruined a match. But really it 523 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: was you, sir. All wrestling referees, you're all on my 524 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: ship list right now, pay attention to the damn match. 525 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: It's frustrating. They're too easy to get get things over on. 526 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: I will say this, I've seen umpires throw out fans 527 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: and games for heckling refs evert no wrestling refs ever 528 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 1: done that. They got thick skin. Wrestling referees have the 529 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: thickest skin of any referee and professional sports. So for that, Dan, 530 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 1: I salute you, ladies and gentlemen.
