And I 27 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: was I think you walked home with like eight hundred 28 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: bucks or some like that. You know. What it was 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: was that I wasn't really watching the product a lot 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: around that time, so like, so everyone kept on putting 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: in beds on, you know, everyone was being so smart, 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, And I was like, cool, I'll take 33 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: Randy Ordan, sure, man, Like, yeah, there was. It drove 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: me nuts. We were there, there were I think four 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: of us, and all of us watched a lot accept 36 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: you and you didn't lose a bet the whole night, 37 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: and it drove me absolutely insane. But it re ignited 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: my sort of love of wrestling. And I was just 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: hoping that you could kind of touch on where you 40 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: and your family kind of got their love, because I 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: know your brother was a hardcore fan, and I don't 42 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: think you ever jumped into the dark Side, or if 43 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: you did, at least not for as long as your 44 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: brother did. But but I've seen your your knowledge, and 45 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: I was just wondering where it all started, when it started, 46 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: and where it came from. For me, it was when 47 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: I was doing an uncle book and you know, so 48 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm sitting in some place and like suburban Chicago or whatever, 49 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: and uh so this must have been the winner of 50 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: eight nine. And so it was one of those like 51 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: a like and I guess what were they called the 52 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: like the essentially the daytime shows, like you know, all 53 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: the Saturday Yeah what was that mean? Events? But yeah, 54 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: I forget what it was like a recap shows with 55 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: the ones that shot in Philly, Yeah, exactly. And uh 56 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: they were showing a replay of Warrior honkytalk Man from 57 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: Summer Slam eight nine, and it was the first wrestling 58 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: match I ever saw on you know, and boo. As 59 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: soon as that like, you know, that music hit and 60 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, I was just like, who 61 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: is that guy? You know? Yeah, when it comes to come, 62 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: not Honky talk Man, the Warrior. But I didn't like 63 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: the talk music.

That's the thing is that, like they'll 200 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: do the same pay per view like back to back 201 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: for two years straight. It felt like, yeah, it's always 202 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: like a like new day. Lusso's like every freaking card, 203 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: like you know, and it's just like, you know, and 204 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: I understand that like their roster obviously isn't as deep 205 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: as it was a year ago. Back they've caught I 206 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: think eighty six wrestlers from their roster in the past 207 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: calendar year. Yeah, so it's like you know, like, yeah, 208 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: so like you don't really have this rich variety that 209 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: maybe you might have had before and stuff. But even then, man, 210 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, how many times can we 211 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: watch the same match over? I mean literally, I think 212 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: it was just recently it was like like Survivor series 213 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: and I think they're like, you know, the one before 214 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: that they were like it was I think it was 215 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: the two before that they were virtually the same card man, 216 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: and it's just like, what the fun is going on? 217 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, well you were you and I were younger. 218 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: They allowed the story lines to develop sometimes for almost 219 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: a year before you got that that final payoff. And 220 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: I think once the Attitude era hit, they gave you 221 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: everything right away in a four week package, and it 222 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: kind of changed the way the stories were told, almost 223 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: pay per view to pay per view, and at a 224 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: certain point, I feel like you just run out of 225 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: stories to tell, so they just go with what they know. 226 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this is running out of stories 227 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: coming up. They are running out of stories. Believe I pitched. 228 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: If I pitched one every week is just when you're 229 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: pitching to a wall is going to bounce back at you. 230 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: But that that's kind of the problem, you know, that's 231 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: that's that's the problem right there, because you know there 232 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: there's never gonna be a lack of stories. I mean, 233 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: you know Three's Company. You know they had an episode 234 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: in the first season where they had to hide a 235 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: puppy from from the landlords, uh, the Ropers, and then 236 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: in a season like six, they're hiding a kitten from 237 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: Mr Furley. You know, it's just like again, It's like, man, 238 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: you can even you can just repackage with some of 239 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: this ship, you know, as long as you give it 240 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: enough time, you know you can. You can't do that. 241 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: The rest Ling's had more time than any TV show ever. Yeah, 242 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: but I mean, I think there is something to your 243 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: point of like these longer stories. But at the same time, 244 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 1: there was less product on television, and you know, you 245 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: were totally fine with like you know, uh you know, 246 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: watching bad News Brown beat up Jerry the Job or uh, 247 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: you know, on on Saturday mornings kind of thing.

Um, 391 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: but I want to start an indie league or an 392 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: indie wrestling league.

If you 400 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: and I were to start a wrestling brand, what would 401 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: you want it to be between between those two whatever 402 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: you wanted to be, talk about it and maybe, you know, 403 00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: in a year and a half we do it.

I would see the producers literally tell 465 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Vince in the production meetings like, look on the road, 466 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: we're letting these girls work and they can do these moves. 467 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: They're not getting hurt. They've been doing them for months 468 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: now you gotta let them and be like, oh no, 469 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna get hurt. They can't do it. And so 470 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: the women had to fight girls like Eve Torres, the 471 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: Bella's McCool and layla Um. They were like lay Cool 472 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: or something like that.

There are some legit challenges, yeah, but 476 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: they had no no time. And then I left and 477 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: the Total Diva show started out rating segments raw, and 478 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the women that were on that 479 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: show started getting nine minute matches and then they had 480 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: commercial breaks, and then that next generation of wrestlers came 481 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: in and really just took flight off of that foundation 482 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: to where they were headed. Banks and Bailey had a 483 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: sixty minute Iron Woman match on n xt UM. When 484 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: it was before it looked like you can't do that 485 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: on television started there's a salt box right over there. 486 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: But uh, but they kind of like took flight and 487 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: then all these releases happened, and it looks as if 488 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: they're pushing more towards that pretty girl less time. I 489 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: don't time the women's matches, but I have timed a 490 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: couple of them because it felt I don't they felt 491 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: like they've been getting shorter and what we're thirteen minute 492 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: matches are eleven minute matches now. So if I'm worried 493 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 1: that it's going back the other direction, but if they 494 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: keep releasing them a e W. Who I've I find 495 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: lacking in a women's roster as far as yeah, I 496 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: think it's one of their one of their flaws. I 497 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: think otherwise, I think they're actually a really cool company. 498 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: I I did what I do too. What about and 499 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: they would have to start it by signing a bunch 500 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 1: of these women? But what if a e W did 501 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: a women's division and gave it an hour and a 502 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: half or gave it the full two hours on one 503 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: of their nights. They have a lot of men. They 504 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: don't necessarily talk about that. Well, there's been talking about 505 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: like you know, um, like a women's only kind of show, 506 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like they're gonna try with wow, 507 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: but they don't have the level of talent the a 508 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: W Well no, no, no, I'm talking um gosh, I 509 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: forget which which where there was it was some somebody 510 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: was talking about this. No not not just a FED 511 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: that is all women.

And 514 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I don't, I don't. I don't think 515 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: it's w w E, but I I just remember I 516 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: think it was some it was a women's wrestling that 517 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: was like Ring of Honor. Yeah, yeah, yeah, women sounds great. 518 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: It sucks that we were at a point where like yeah, 519 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: like you kind of do have to find some of 520 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: these matches like that's actually you know, like the fact 521 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: that we that that that's even a notion, uh is 522 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: messed up, Like that's not the way it should be. 523 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: You know, look like the insane sorry for interrupting, going yeah, 524 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: well yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. Is that like 525 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: before when they were just these five minutes, I mean, 526 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: women's wrestling was a joke from like you know what 527 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: I like from even with the like when I first 528 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: started watching the Rock and Robin and stuff like that, 529 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: and just like funk, man, I don't feel like it 530 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: was just like that was your pea break, you know 531 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: that only wasn't a lot going on, you know, Yeah, 532 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: and then they didn't really you know, I I think 533 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: there was I think that kind of stigma like kind 534 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: of stuck for a while until you actually started like 535 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: letting some of these women cut loose and actually you know, 536 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: do some things. It's like, yeah, you know now, like 537 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: you know, you can it's not crazy for them to 538 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: headline WrestleMania or to close the show at Survivors. You 539 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: can put Charlotte Flair in any WrestleMania main event and 540 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: people are gonna want to watch. I mean, that's that's 541 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: no brain, regardless of men or women or whatever, like 542 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: exactly like you know, it's it's just good. This is yeah, 543 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: this is her peak, this is her time. Man Like, 544 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: she's she may not be the best actor, but she 545 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: owns that character. And when she stays in that character 546 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: and she never breaks, it's gold man Like. She's just 547 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: she should never be a baby face. As for as 548 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: long as John Cina wasn't a heel, Like, that's that's 549 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: how long she should be a heel for it? Yeah, 550 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: I think I think that's I think that's fair, you know. Yeah, 551 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: Becky Lynch is a heel. Is kind of been interesting. Yeah, 552 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: but I don't buy that she's always that. That's the 553 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: problem is that you don't you don't buy like you know, 554 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's the termin didn't work right, you know, 555 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: that kind of thing people people still want, like people 556 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: still freaking her, cheering for and stuff that's Charlotte and Beef. 557 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: That that her that she and Charlotte had is still 558 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: so fresh in people's minds, and it's like for them 559 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: to just get that one match out of that and 560 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: then just say, well they're on different brands, so it's over. 561 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: It's like, man, that's that's three pay per views. You 562 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: could get three pay per views out of that easy. 563 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: Easy means she could interfere with her on Raw, Charlotte 564 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: could interfere with her on SmackDown for what for four months? Okay? Whatever? Yeah, 565 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, I've always have two minds when it comes 566 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: to the brain split anyway, you know, Um, it gives 567 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: people more TV time, you know, and we have a 568 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: deep roster. I think that's a good, you know, good thing. 569 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of talent that you know, you 570 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: want to be able to see. But at the same time, 571 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: it's like I don't think they It does prevent you 572 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: from certain kind of matchups, and not necessarily in the 573 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: good way. There's not these dream matchups per se that 574 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: you actually like, oh, I can't wait till you know, 575 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: Survivor series where you know, Biggie gets to get take 576 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: on Roman brains like that. You know, it doesn't tickle 577 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: you in that kind of way. Um, but you know, 578 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: like I don't think they've taken full advantage of it, 579 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: like you know, yeah, I think maybe they tried to 580 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: do like an invasion storyline once or twice or something 581 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: like that, you know. But again, they're the same product, 582 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: like you know, on both shows, Like stylistically they're the same. 583 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: They look one is just blue when the other one 584 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: is red, and like that's that's it's just you know, 585 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: so I you know, I don't even pay attention to 586 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: who's on what roster anymore, you know what I mean. 587 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: I I can tell what I just glanced at what 588 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: color their belt is. But otherwise, Like I don't know 589 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: who's on, you know, I don't know which show misses on. 590 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: I just know that he's on, and it isn't important 591 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: to the fans which show there on anymore. Like there 592 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: is not a brand, you know, because they're actually they 593 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: aren't separate brands. They're both w W By the way, 594 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: how can they make n x T look so different? 595 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: But they can't make SmackDown and Raw look different in 596 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: any way, shape or for in any way exactly. And 597 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: I don't like. I don't think they improved n x T. 598 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: I thought I thought the next he went from the 599 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: most watchable product in w W E t unwatchable in 600 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: a week.
