Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, listen Tree Team and you are listening to
Speaker 1: Eyes up here with Free Team on the iHeart Radio
Speaker 1: network or wherever you're getting podcasts. There's always something going
Speaker 1: by my list.
Speaker 2: She had somebody, Oh, what's up? It's uh, it's getting
Speaker 2: warm outside. It's always hot in the Kingdom.
Speaker 1: Can I just tell you to get off and look
Speaker 1: at your thermostat and have it say, a million degrees
Speaker 1: is not a good feeling. It's starting to get warm out,
Speaker 1: and my freaking air conditioner is punky broken central air. Wow,
Speaker 1: central air. It was so hot yesterday was eighty four degrees.
Speaker 1: And we've been loving the weather, and we've been going out.
Speaker 1: I've been in the gym every single day. Then I
Speaker 1: go for a walk with the kids. It's been beautiful weather,
Speaker 1: love it. But then you come home and you walk
Speaker 1: into an inferno and I'm just like, what is happening here?
Speaker 1: And there's some kind of leak going on. And we
Speaker 1: were quoted eight thousand dollars. Yeah, I said eight thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: eight thousands.
Speaker 2: Did you did you just say eight thousand dollars eight?
Speaker 1: I'm so upset I could cry. Eight grand, eight grand
Speaker 1: was the one quote A guy's coming tomorrow. We'll see
Speaker 1: what he says. Eight grand. I'm sick. I'm about to
Speaker 1: blow on myself. I'm about to just get a paper
Speaker 1: fan and be like one of those ladies from the south,
Speaker 1: just sit here for eight grand. Come on?
Speaker 2: That is that? Honestly, I think that might set the
Speaker 2: all time world record for air conditioning repair.
Speaker 1: I'm so mad. I'm so mad. I just want to
Speaker 1: go and stick a piece of like bubblegum on the leak,
Speaker 1: or like gorilla glue or something. Yeah. Right, Apparently you
Speaker 1: can't do that, so uh. You know, that's what we're
Speaker 1: dealing with now. And you might be wondering. Those of
Speaker 1: you are who are listening on iHeart or Spotify or
Speaker 1: Apple can't see what I'm wearing right now. I'm wearing
Speaker 1: his sweats sweatshirt only because I'm so milky white. I'm
Speaker 1: covering my whole pipe. I'm my Donald Duck sweatshirt on,
Speaker 1: and I'm sweating my ass off. It's so hot in
Speaker 1: this house.
Speaker 2: I'm dying. I feel bad for you. Chat's got a
Speaker 2: nice faced hand though. Chatter's looking very good so far.
Speaker 1: You know, I told I said to my my husband
Speaker 1: walks he walks by himself. I take the kids. He
Speaker 1: walks by himself, and there's a point in our walks
Speaker 1: where we pass each other and he walks around shirtless
Speaker 1: in his shirts and his sneakers. I can't do that,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a mom. You can't. Well, I can't
Speaker 1: even walk around in a sports bar er bikini top.
Speaker 1: It's not acceptable for a woman to do. But a guy,
Speaker 1: you know, you guys can just walk around shirtless if
Speaker 1: you want. And he's shrutting bias and waving, and I'm
Speaker 1: just like ew. And then we get home and he's
Speaker 1: like standing in front of me, He's like, check me out.
Speaker 1: I don't just want to skin to show me his tan.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you're such a dick because you're not
Speaker 1: even Italian like I am, and you you tan better
Speaker 1: than me. I hate that. So my goal this summer
Speaker 1: I will lay out for twelve hours a day. I
Speaker 1: am going to beat him, and I am going.
Speaker 2: To get in the competition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm telling you I have to because I'm sick
Speaker 1: and tired of him being darker than me. Really, because
Speaker 1: he gets to walk around shirtless and I don't. There's
Speaker 1: my rant, My eight thousand dollars air conditting and my
Speaker 1: non tan body.
Speaker 2: That is egregious. That is the most egregious number in
Speaker 2: the history of yeah conditioning.
Speaker 1: I know, I know. I can't wait till the guy
Speaker 1: comes tomorrow. It's probably gonna this year. Well we got
Speaker 1: to quote last at the end of last summer because
Speaker 1: that's when the leak happens. Because there's like a leak.
Speaker 1: It could go up, and I'm like, well, let's be optimistic,
Speaker 1: maybe it'll go down. And then we were thinking, well,
Speaker 1: look at the economy these days, it's probably gonna be
Speaker 1: like twelve thousand dollars. I am just not prepared. So
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he's a wrestling fan. Maybe I could
Speaker 1: do a problem now.
Speaker 2: That would be the coup of all coups.
Speaker 1: I can proposition him with free merch, not not with
Speaker 1: sexual favors. You just with like free merch.
Speaker 2: Kent holding that Kendo stick when he when he comes
Speaker 2: through the door.
Speaker 1: Yeah that roll. Try with my Donald Duck sweatshirt.
Speaker 2: I am aren't you No, No, she would never wear
Speaker 2: a Donald Duck shirt.
Speaker 1: Listen, that's what happened when the cable guy came here.
Speaker 2: No way, I told you that story.
Speaker 1: Did you the cable guy came to I think it
Speaker 1: was the cable guy to fix uh the Infinity or
Speaker 1: something this movie.
Speaker 2: Before I was upstairs.
Speaker 1: I was in the kitchen and he walks in. I
Speaker 1: say hey, buddy, and he's like, I need to go
Speaker 1: to your basement. I was like okay, and my husband
Speaker 1: was here, and you know, in the basement we have
Speaker 1: a couple posters up and he looks at the posters.
Speaker 1: He looks at my husband and he goes, that's not
Speaker 1: Francine upstairs in the kitchen, and my husband's like it
Speaker 1: is and he flipped out and he runs upstairs and
Speaker 1: he's just like, what are you doing? You have a
Speaker 1: bun in your hair, you have a sweatshirt. I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: am I is it showtime? Did I miss my music?
Speaker 1: Am I supposed to be in a gown or something?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: This is how I looked to day. I'm so sorry,
Speaker 1: you know, amazing, but yeah, the cable guy.
Speaker 2: Do you go to his job and ask him to perform?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Really? And my mother in law, every time I talked
Speaker 1: to her, remember that time the cable guy came over
Speaker 1: and he didn't know who you were. That was so hysterical.
Speaker 1: Shut up Karen. Her name is Karen.
Speaker 2: Oh. I was gonna say, were you insulting her?
Speaker 1: Her name is Karen. I call her mom.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: I never call her Karen. I call her mom. But
Speaker 1: she mentioned that. I talked to her yesterday and she
Speaker 1: mentioned it. Remember that time because she saw my picture
Speaker 1: from Russell Conn weekend and she's like, you look so
Speaker 1: beautiful there. Remember that time that the cable guy came
Speaker 1: over and he didn't know who you were. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I remember, But AnyWho. Uh, that's what's going on in uh,
Speaker 1: in our humble abode. So good times.
Speaker 2: Man, that's incredible.
Speaker 1: We love it. But there's a lot going on in wrestling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we should talk about enough about me in my nonsense.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, when it comes to wrestling, you're the
Speaker 2: only thing we should be talking about.
Speaker 1: Should you know?
Speaker 2: You are wrestling.
Speaker 1: It's going to be quiet on the home front for
Speaker 1: the next two three weeks because you know, the Queen's off.
Speaker 1: She doesn't have any I don't leave till May thirty first.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I got a lot of time.
Speaker 1: Off coming up, so we're going to be focusing on
Speaker 1: more content for iHeart YouTube. Uh. TikTok on the next
Speaker 1: Superstar of TikTok.
Speaker 2: If you didn't, Yeah, did iHeart get the TikTok news.
Speaker 2: I think that was just YouTube. No, no, we don't
Speaker 2: know that. We did that on our bonus episode.
Speaker 1: Did we.
Speaker 2: That's right, Yes, we did mention that. Yeah, Monity on
Speaker 2: a up here in the TikTok world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the kids love me over there on TikTok so
Speaker 1: I one video. I'm making waves. So yeah, if you
Speaker 1: if you haven't joined me on TikTok, what are you
Speaker 1: waiting for? I don't even know what my uh, what's
Speaker 1: my thing?
Speaker 2: Your thing is? Let me tell you because it's called
Speaker 2: in front of me. It is called header Uh e
Speaker 2: c W franccene podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh that's such an ode joy, that's very good. Thing
Speaker 1: called eyes up here.
Speaker 2: Why isn't it well, like the header name is Francine's
Speaker 2: Eyes up Here, but like the at thing is e
Speaker 2: c W because it couldn't fit. Ah, maybe you.
Speaker 1: Just pipe in franccene ECW. It'll take you to it.
Speaker 2: It will, but like you know, to like you know,
Speaker 2: for your name, like it was like you know, Francine
Speaker 2: Eyes up here and all that stuff. It wouldn't fit
Speaker 2: every everything.
Speaker 1: In too long and luscious for TikTok.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you've got to have your name in there.
Speaker 2: You're the star.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's true. Okay, Well enough about me and this
Speaker 1: TikTok nonsense. Let's talk some wrestling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk some wrestling. I'd mentioned this. I can't
Speaker 2: remember which episode. I don't know if it was on
Speaker 2: our bonus episode or previously, but we kind of missed
Speaker 2: a lot of the drama with CM Punk and not
Speaker 2: just what was going on inside his current company, but
Speaker 2: outside in his former company, bringing him up like crazy
Speaker 2: and everything kind of getting in one pot and mixing
Speaker 2: like a stew and seeing Punk being the master ingredient
Speaker 2: for it. What were you able to kind of see
Speaker 2: in relation to cempunk.
Speaker 1: I saw the footage. I saw the video where Tony
Speaker 1: Khan was desperately fighting for his life, very very scary moment.
Speaker 1: And I saw his response as to why he aired it,
Speaker 1: which I've read. It's very long and I didn't really
Speaker 1: get an answer. It didn't really make a whole lot
Speaker 1: of sense to me. I don't know, I feel like
Speaker 1: it was very underwhelming for those of you who haven't
Speaker 1: seen it. It's like you see him and Jack Perry
Speaker 1: like having a conversation and then you see Punk kind
Speaker 1: of go at him. But it was very quick, right,
Speaker 1: it was. It was very very quick, and it was, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, from what I saw, they broke it up
Speaker 1: quickly and that was it. I don't agree with Tony
Speaker 1: fearing for his life. I mean, what what was so
Speaker 1: scary about that? It was just kind of like, uh,
Speaker 1: Punk kind of took a shot at Jack Perry and
Speaker 1: that was that was it. But like, did he want
Speaker 1: to air this to make Punk look bad? Was that
Speaker 1: the goal in the beginning, because I think it backfired
Speaker 1: on him big time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it was to make him look bad,
Speaker 2: but then also to help reintroduce Jack Perry. But then
Speaker 2: also it made Jack Perry look awful. Yeah, but then
Speaker 2: also but his character is the scapegoat, so he's the
Speaker 2: scapegoat of this whole scenario. But then also the Bucks
Speaker 2: are using it as the reason that they lost the
Speaker 2: match to FTR that night at pay per view.
Speaker 1: It's so ironic that the booker is trying to give
Speaker 1: a k FA response in light of this whole situation,
Speaker 1: Like we you know, every fan knows that this stuff
Speaker 1: is scripted. Come on, so to come off with this
Speaker 1: footage and then go on record and say the Bucks
Speaker 1: couldn't pray before the match and they weren't in the
Speaker 1: right state of mind and that's why they know they lost,
Speaker 1: because that's the way it was booked. Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 1: I don't I just didn't understand. I didn't understand his response.
Speaker 2: I read the.
Speaker 1: Whole thing, and I was just left saying to myself,
Speaker 1: does he not know that we know this is a work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like everybody's smart these days, and if you're not, you're
Speaker 1: the five percent of the wrestling population that doesn't have
Speaker 1: a clue as to what's going on, right.
Speaker 2: Or they don't want to, like they believe still that
Speaker 2: they're I was to say, how many times have I said,
Speaker 2: he's booking it like it's his old e fed. He's
Speaker 2: just continuing to treat it like it's he's in his
Speaker 2: bedroom and it's his little e fed with his friends
Speaker 2: on the internet. It's he's not treating it like he's
Speaker 2: in the real world. That's the way I perceive it.
Speaker 2: He that response was a bunch of battle was it
Speaker 2: made no sense every word, But continue I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, everybody knows he he's the boss, he's
Speaker 1: the head booker. A statement like that comes across as
Speaker 1: you know me and you just wrestled, right, And now
Speaker 1: we're on Twitter having a feud and it's a fake
Speaker 1: feud because everybody knows that we're friendly, right, but we're
Speaker 1: having a few. To hear Tony Kahan give that kind
Speaker 1: of response, it's so silly because we know he's in
Speaker 1: charge of everything and he's the booker, right, and it's
Speaker 1: just like he's trying to kay fabus but it's not working.
Speaker 1: And this is why people who don't like wrestling think
Speaker 1: that it's it's the dumbest thing ever, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like I was talking to Sane about this,
Speaker 1: and you get the people who say, oh, you do
Speaker 1: that wrestling thing. I haven't watched wrestling since I was
Speaker 1: fourteen years old. Like it's kind of silly, don't you think.
Speaker 1: Or I was watching today, I was watching again Tom
Speaker 1: Segura and his wife Christina. They have a podcast and
Speaker 1: they hate wrestling, and they were making fun of fans
Speaker 1: who enjoy wrestling, and he kept saying it, Oh, it's
Speaker 1: so fake. Everybody's fake and it's such fake shit and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah script it. Now I will go and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: we all know it's scripted, but we're athletes and you
Speaker 1: can't take that away from us, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: The average Joe can't walk into a facility and do
Speaker 1: what the guys do and the girls do. You can't
Speaker 1: do that. So he was kind of pissing me off
Speaker 1: a little Like I love him and I think he's hilarious,
Speaker 1: but he was kind of pissing me off a little bit.
Speaker 1: But then like as he was talking, he was saying,
Speaker 1: like the fans, I guess that take it too far
Speaker 1: and it's their life. And like we can go back
Speaker 1: to Cody Rhodes not finishing his story and how they
Speaker 1: had to change, you know, because the backlash that WW
Speaker 1: was getting from the WWE universe and how everybody was
Speaker 1: so pissed off, and like night one after WrestleMania, because
Speaker 1: Cody lost, they had footage people were in the parking
Speaker 1: lot kicking cars, throwing over trash cans like that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, and it's just like come one. That's where
Speaker 1: we get the bad reputation. That's where people like Tom
Speaker 1: can say Oh my god, it's so stupid, Like, look
Speaker 1: to me, it's it's an art form. It's we always
Speaker 1: called it like a live theater presentation where storytellers. I
Speaker 1: happen to enjoy it when I do watch it. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not a consistent viewer, but when I do watch it,
Speaker 1: I appreciate everything in the athleticism. And do I know
Speaker 1: it's scripted, Well, yeah I do, but that doesn't take
Speaker 1: away from what these guys and girls are doing in
Speaker 1: the ring, right. But Tony Kahn, getting back to him,
Speaker 1: he's the leader of ae W, the owner, the leader,
Speaker 1: the booker, the creative head, whatever titles he has. He's
Speaker 1: trying to come off as like he's trying to work us,
Speaker 1: and he's doing it very poorly. And it's like, dude,
Speaker 1: if we're if we're following you on Twitter or we're
Speaker 1: reading your tweets or reading an interview that you did,
Speaker 1: we know that this is a bunch of bullshit that
Speaker 1: you're trying to feed us. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's an insult. It's kind of insulting to the smart
Speaker 1: marks out there. And again, ninety five percent of us
Speaker 1: I think are smart. There's that little percentage out there that,
Speaker 1: like you said, either want a believer. They really don't
Speaker 1: know what the hell's going on, and that's fine, living
Speaker 1: your own world whatever. But when I read that, I
Speaker 1: was just like, wait a minute. They can't pray they
Speaker 1: slipped on the bananap pew they you know, everything that
Speaker 1: he wrote, it was kind of like he was trying
Speaker 1: to work us and he's trying to get us to
Speaker 1: believe it's an angle, and I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was insulting to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, but it's just how does one
Speaker 2: guy manage to live rent free in all these other
Speaker 2: people's head Well, in the matter that Punk does.
Speaker 1: It goes back to what I said before. You don't
Speaker 1: see WWE people putting over a w or their employees ever,
Speaker 1: so for seeing Punk to be featured, you know, he
Speaker 1: was at WrestleMania, he was on camera. He did his
Speaker 1: little thing to be talked about on another show. Still,
Speaker 1: to this day, good or bad, it's publicity. You're putting
Speaker 1: the other company over. How does Tony not see that
Speaker 1: that is bad for him and his business? How can
Speaker 1: he not see that? What did he think he was
Speaker 1: going to get out of airing this footage because it
Speaker 1: was it was underwhelming footage.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean if there was like, you know, like five
Speaker 1: minutes of a fight and swinging and then chairs flying,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh shit, this is really good. No,
Speaker 1: it was kind of like blah blah blah blah blah boom,
Speaker 1: he got down, here comes a pollpark and that's it.
Speaker 1: That's all it was. So was Punk wrong for throwing
Speaker 1: a punch. Some people are saying he initiated that. Others
Speaker 1: are saying, well, Jack Perry started it by what he said,
Speaker 1: the crimea river or whatever the hell how that you
Speaker 1: know that triggered him. I mean, as workers, if you
Speaker 1: have a problem with somebody, you handle it in the back.
Speaker 1: You don't do it in the ring. You're not supposed
Speaker 1: to do it in the ring. People stiff each other
Speaker 1: all the time in the ring, and that's when a
Speaker 1: shoot happens, right, you know. But I think Punk did
Speaker 1: the right thing and confronted him in the back. And
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know why they aired it. I
Speaker 1: don't think they got anything out of it.
Speaker 2: Well, what he explains in the interview with Ariel Hawani
Speaker 2: from the MMA Hour and the thing that set everyone
Speaker 2: off in the interview is that basically like he was
Speaker 2: being brought to this situation as almost kind of a
Speaker 2: guy to defuse a situation because in the past, I
Speaker 2: guess at one of the Collision tapings or whatever, the
Speaker 2: Saturday night show that they added, he had the incident
Speaker 2: with Jack where they wanted use their glass and all
Speaker 2: that stuff, and Jack was kind of being abusive towards
Speaker 2: some people and cursing him off, and Punk had to
Speaker 2: step in and be like, we don't act like that here,
Speaker 2: we don't use that kind of stuff. Take it to
Speaker 2: Wednesday night and kind of got the pri Madonna, you know,
Speaker 2: with a disposition out of Jack. So this was an escalation.
Speaker 2: But the thing that really pissed everybody off and aw
Speaker 2: was and this is what I'm gonna play this for
Speaker 2: you here in a minute, if you sync up Punk's
Speaker 2: narration to the footage, it's exactly how Punk describes it.
Speaker 2: So all that other crap that they did in that
Speaker 2: preamble before the whole storyline stuff, it makes them look
Speaker 2: even worse that they even had to go through all
Speaker 2: that that storyline bullshit for what what? It made everybody
Speaker 2: look horrible On the aw side, Punk comes out smelling
Speaker 2: like roses in the end for defending whatever he was
Speaker 2: defending and now he's not even in the company anymore.
Speaker 2: But it apparently made Tony furious that that interview with
Speaker 2: the interview is it's two hours and he holds nothing
Speaker 2: back and basically says no, no uncertain terms. Tony is
Speaker 2: a nice guy, but he is a horrible boss. Okay,
Speaker 2: this is Punk Punk's nice guy.
Speaker 1: I didn't hear any of punks.
Speaker 2: Not a good boss. Okay, but a nice guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure he's a great guy, but we've said
Speaker 1: it for years now. He wants to be one of
Speaker 1: the boys. He's not acting like a boss. He's acting
Speaker 1: like he's one of the guys. You can't do that.
Speaker 1: You have to put your foot down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what It was one of the best
Speaker 2: interviews ever and now Punk has done these before. I mean,
Speaker 2: he did the infamous Cult Cabana one after he left
Speaker 2: WWE ten years ago, phenomenal, but this was great. And
Speaker 2: Ariel Hawane though, so this is where the aw spin
Speaker 2: comes in. Ariel Hawane has issues with Tony Khan because
Speaker 2: Tony Khan, well, if he goes on there give the
Speaker 2: non answers he will you know, will give them? You know,
Speaker 2: he just he always sidesteps the questions. But I'm going
Speaker 2: to play you the narration of the clip by Punk.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you can yeah, I haven't heard any of this.
Speaker 2: So this is Punk on the show with Area hold
Speaker 2: on it Okay.
Speaker 3: Jack came back from his match. I was the next match.
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there, I got I got people with me.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say who they are, you know,
Speaker 3: because I got a lot of friends who work there
Speaker 3: and wish them all well and I don't want them
Speaker 3: to be punished. And I walk up to them and
Speaker 3: I'm just like, Jack, why do you insist on doing
Speaker 3: this dumb internet shit like on TV? And You're just like, well,
Speaker 3: if you got a problem about it, do something about it.
Speaker 3: And I was just like, man, come on, man, I'll
Speaker 3: kill you. Like what are we doing? Sometimes he just
Speaker 3: can't let you get close.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I thought I was doing a responsible thing. You know.
Speaker 3: I didn't punch anybody. I just choke somebody a little bit.
Speaker 3: Some Ojo was there told me to stop and then
Speaker 3: I quit. I turned to Tony and I said, this
Speaker 3: place is a fucking joke.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: You're a clown. I quit.
Speaker 2: So if you look right, so right, so you see
Speaker 2: the hands right here, Yeah, that's Tony Cohn. Okay, so
Speaker 2: when he turns here, that's him yelling at Tony and saying,
Speaker 2: I quit. This place is a fucking joke.
Speaker 1: If Tony was so scared, wouldn't he have jump out
Speaker 1: of that chair or whatever he was on?
Speaker 2: And well, he kind of moves around a little bit. Look,
Speaker 2: he kind of he puts his hand down. Yeah, hey
Speaker 2: stop that, Hey, don't do that.
Speaker 1: Come on, Well, now the initial swing was that did
Speaker 1: Punk just push him down because he said I didn't
Speaker 1: punch anyone.
Speaker 2: No, he grabs him and he kind of grabs at him.
Speaker 2: He pushes him and then he grabs him in like
Speaker 2: a front face lock.
Speaker 1: Okay, I knew that part, but I thought he swung
Speaker 1: at him in the beginning the first time I saw this.
Speaker 2: Here's Samoa Joe. Yeah, here's some guy I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, Jerry Lynn in there. Yeah, that's Jerry.
Speaker 2: That's Jerry Lynn right here. Okay, I think Chris Hero
Speaker 2: pops up as well. That's Chris Hero right here? Does
Speaker 2: he work for a wa?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: So that's who I mean, that's who's breaking this up.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no slouches here. And then he's just like, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: don't kill me, and he turns to this place fucking sucks.
Speaker 2: I quit and that's the end of it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Punk said his match was next, he had to go
Speaker 1: out after this.
Speaker 2: So then he basically what he says a little bit,
Speaker 2: you know forward in the interview, he left. He walked out,
Speaker 2: and Jerry and Joe had to basically go get him
Speaker 2: and convince.
Speaker 1: Him to company.
Speaker 2: And out of respect because Jerry was the agent and
Speaker 2: obviously hit Joe was his opponent, he said, out of
Speaker 2: respect for Jerry and Joe, he came and finished the.
Speaker 1: Met Yeah, he did the right thing. That's that's good
Speaker 1: business right there. But uh, I'm telling you, like, is
Speaker 1: there ever a positive coming out of that locker?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Great?
Speaker 1: They have a lot of talent there. And it's a
Speaker 1: shame because I've always said, like more than one company
Speaker 1: is good for business, right and right now, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of companies out there, and and w W is
Speaker 1: always going to be on top, There's there's no doubt
Speaker 1: about that. But like a W could really give them
Speaker 1: a run for their money, you know, if they did
Speaker 1: things the correct way, and it just seems like Tony
Speaker 1: just keeps dropping the ball and over and over again.
Speaker 1: And it's sad because like again the talent pool, there's
Speaker 1: so much talent there. Yeah, and I have friends that
Speaker 1: are there, and just it's it's it's a shame, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, no, total shame. And it's crazy now that
Speaker 2: Punk was just gone, and he said he could have
Speaker 2: gone to WWE, like right afterwards. He was not held
Speaker 2: to any kind of noncompete, but it's like it almost
Speaker 2: happened so perfectly that he went back in Chicago, and
Speaker 2: it's I watched this vlog that he did with WWE
Speaker 2: for the Royal Rumble. I mean, he seems like a
Speaker 2: completely different guy even from when he went back to AW.
Speaker 2: I mean, he just seems humbled by this new veteran
Speaker 2: role in WWE, whatever the new culture is sans Vince McMahon,
Speaker 2: with Triple H and Nick Cohn and everybody else involved.
Speaker 2: They did this really cool retrospective with him and Randy
Speaker 2: Orton getting to sit down and watch a match, and
Speaker 2: I guess those two had a lot of tension back
Speaker 2: in their original run together and they patch things up
Speaker 2: on camera, like, oh cool, very cool stuff. Just so
Speaker 2: when you can put the narration of what he said
Speaker 2: over that clip, it just makes AW look so much worse.
Speaker 1: Well you know too, It's like he walked away for
Speaker 1: a long time, you know what I mean, Like he
Speaker 1: was gone from the business for a really long time.
Speaker 1: And there were these stories and you can go look
Speaker 1: it up, like when WWE brought back ECW the fake ECDUB.
Speaker 1: I shared a locker room with Punk. He was with
Speaker 1: me there, right. Punk's always been great to me. I
Speaker 1: worked with him in MLW as well. He's always been
Speaker 1: a nice guy. I never had any problems with them.
Speaker 1: But Rob Van Diam told a story that I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was on his own podcasts or somebody else's,
Speaker 1: but apparently there was some kind of meeting that was
Speaker 1: supposed to be held and Punk walked in and was
Speaker 1: like being the leader of the locker room and put
Speaker 1: himself over and like all the vets were like are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? So like he was saying like he
Speaker 1: had heat back then. So to see him now, like,
Speaker 1: you know, you step away and you mature and you
Speaker 1: grow and you come into it with a different mind frame,
Speaker 1: and you know, you're making amends with people that you
Speaker 1: didn't get along with before, and it's all good for
Speaker 1: your brand. You have to make adjustments and changes if
Speaker 1: you want to survive in this business. And technically, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's never been forgotten because those seeing Punk chants lasted
Speaker 1: for years after he was gone. We all know that.
Speaker 1: But you know, maybe coming back, maybe he realized I
Speaker 1: was a little abrasive or I rubbed people the way,
Speaker 1: you know. But now it's ten years and yeah, he's
Speaker 1: more of a veteran now than he was in two
Speaker 1: thousand and six, you know what I mean, right, So
Speaker 1: people change and people deserve second chances. And he's beloved
Speaker 1: by the fans, and as a worker, you either love
Speaker 1: him or you hate him. And he's got friends, you know,
Speaker 1: and he's making money for that company, so I'm sure
Speaker 1: they would welcome him back. And it's good business for
Speaker 1: him and Randy because down the line they work together.
Speaker 1: Absolutely they make money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's silver platter. It's on a silver platter,
Speaker 2: and he knows it. There's all these matchups here and
Speaker 2: now they're literally WWE is printing money.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, WrestleMania. They said we were the merchandise
Speaker 1: was the highest grossing Philadelphia was like the highest grousing
Speaker 1: merchandise for a WrestleMania or something like that. I was reading.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, they're they're doing really really good right now,
Speaker 1: really really good, and it's good for the business. It's
Speaker 1: it's overall, it's good. If you're a wrestling fan. I
Speaker 1: can't understand why you would want want one company to fail.
Speaker 1: It's everybody enjoys wrestling. Just enjoy the product as a whole.
Speaker 1: Watch what you want to watch, don't watch the stuff
Speaker 1: you don't like, and that's it. Yeah, people talk so
Speaker 1: much crap. Oh you know, AW does this, WWE does that,
Speaker 1: you don't like it, don't watch it. It's as simple
Speaker 1: as that. There's something for everyone out there. You know,
Speaker 1: there's so many options. We talked about WWE, AW uh
Speaker 1: TNA uh uh NWA, MLW. There there are so many
Speaker 1: FEDS out there, plus indies, so and and stuff that's streaming,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. There there's literally a show
Speaker 1: for every wrestling fan on the planet. You can't say
Speaker 1: there's not because there's so much wrestling out there. I
Speaker 1: don't understand why people have to pick sides why can't
Speaker 1: you be a fan of all the products. It's not
Speaker 1: like a love affair. It's not like, oh, you're cheating
Speaker 1: on WWE with aw blah blah blah. Just enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Shut up and enjoy it. Stop fighting. The marks are
Speaker 1: fighting on on uh you know, on Twitter. I see
Speaker 1: everybody fighting and just get along. Just love wrestling in general.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pain, because you're still gonna matter which side you're like,
Speaker 2: you're still gonna act like a know it all asshole.
Speaker 1: So well I would, just you know, I try not.
Speaker 1: I look at facts. I try not to knock companies
Speaker 1: unless there's something factual that I could say, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: big drop the ball on this, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And I feel like we pick on aew a lot.
Speaker 1: But they've been dropping the ball a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: and I hate to see it because I want them
Speaker 1: to thrive. I want competition for WWE. I want a
Speaker 1: big platform for people to work because not everybody's gonna
Speaker 1: make it to WWE. There's only so many spaces there
Speaker 1: for people, not everybody, and it doesn't matter how talented
Speaker 1: you are, not everybody will make it there. So having
Speaker 1: different companies is a blessing. I don't want them to fail.
Speaker 1: I just wish Tony would get his shit together and
Speaker 1: just give us a product without the drama, without the idiosity,
Speaker 1: and then in the back like insulting our intelligence, Like stop,
Speaker 1: is idiosity a word? I don't think it is.
Speaker 2: I think maybe idiocy.
Speaker 1: Know, without being an idiot?
Speaker 2: Yeah, without being an idiot or idiotic idiotic idiotic idiotic.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm trying to say, I gotcha. It's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, just just represent your brand and your
Speaker 1: locker room.
Speaker 2: But you know what though, But again, but for a
Speaker 2: guy that is the super fan, the all time great
Speaker 2: booker of this generation, who's supposed to know everything about
Speaker 2: the history of the business he could, he's supposed to
Speaker 2: like learn from all the mistakes of all these past
Speaker 2: bookers that fell on their face or tripped over the
Speaker 2: banana peel or or took that that wrong turn because
Speaker 2: they had the money and they made the mistakes. Like
Speaker 2: he was supposed to correct all these things. And he's
Speaker 2: literally taking every piece of bait that's being dangled out
Speaker 2: there and being like, oh, oh there's the carrot, let
Speaker 2: me grab it. Oh no, there's that low hanging fruit.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna grab that one too.
Speaker 1: He needs a better team. He really needs a better team.
Speaker 1: And I'm not knocking whoever is working with him right now,
Speaker 1: but he definitely needs a more corporate team, not a
Speaker 1: bunch of workers that you know, yes man, yes man, yes, sure, yeah, No,
Speaker 1: you need people like Vince McMahon had that whole team,
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, Hunter was a worker, but all the
Speaker 1: suits that never stepped foot in a ring, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Don't count Johnny Ace either, but you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, there were there were There were
Speaker 1: a bunch of people that worked for Vince that never
Speaker 1: worked as a wrestler, right, and they knew exactly what
Speaker 1: they were doing their corporate How many corporate people does
Speaker 1: Tony have helping him make these decisions?
Speaker 2: I think they hired one person recently.
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's that's one better than they had because
Speaker 1: it fits a bunch of the boys dictating to him
Speaker 1: what's right and wrong. Like sometimes you can sway him
Speaker 1: the way you want to be portrayed, the way you
Speaker 1: feel like you should be shown in you know, in
Speaker 1: light of whatever is going on, put yourself over and
Speaker 1: Tony wants to be one of the boys, and we
Speaker 1: said that, and he needs to be a boss. He
Speaker 1: needs to stop this, and he needs to be a boss,
Speaker 1: and he needs this to just realize. Like it's like
Speaker 1: when you when when you break up with somebody and
Speaker 1: you want to text them and you write out this
Speaker 1: text that's so elaborate, but you can't hit send yet
Speaker 1: because you're scared and you don't know if it's the
Speaker 1: right thing to do. Right, he should have looked at
Speaker 1: that footage one hundred times before putting it on television.
Speaker 1: Is this the right thing to do? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Let me look at it again. Wait, let me look
Speaker 1: at it again. How can you look at that and think, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is great for business, this is going to boost
Speaker 1: our show. No, it's like, uh, was it Heraldo Rivera
Speaker 1: with the or no John Stossel.
Speaker 2: With the with David Schultz David no, no, with.
Speaker 1: The Oh my god, who's the guy who had the safe?
Speaker 2: Oh oh that was Heraldo with right, yeah? With uh yeah,
Speaker 2: the vault.
Speaker 1: Famous guy and they open it and nothing's in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Fifty nine minutes of our lives waiting for the stupid
Speaker 1: vault to be yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Who the hell was that oh, it escapes me
Speaker 2: at the moment, but I know exactly. It was Heraldo
Speaker 2: with the vault al capone. It was alone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well whatever that is, I mean it was it.
Speaker 2: Was Heraldough our man from last week. We played Heraldo's
Speaker 2: clip on last week's show.
Speaker 1: There you oh, but it's kind of like underwhelming like that.
Speaker 1: It's like we waited, we waited, we saw it. It
Speaker 1: was like Mark same thing. We see this footage. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: don loser. Bad decision, really bad decision. So, I mean
Speaker 1: that's just my take on it. Maybe there were people
Speaker 1: up there that loved it, but it didn't spike up
Speaker 1: a rating.
Speaker 2: No, Like I brought the ratings up a little a
Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah, and then he bragged about it. He
Speaker 2: bragged about the ratings. Yeah, but it wasn't that much,
Speaker 2: but he still bragged about it, Okay, and it was
Speaker 2: like whatever, it was like twenty nine percent, and it
Speaker 2: was like, Aw's up twenty nine percent, blah blah blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. It's like, man, like you only went back
Speaker 2: next week, but he did. He had to announce his
Speaker 2: during like WrestleMania weekend and that was all AW did.
Speaker 2: Aw where ww's shooting half court shots in the middle
Speaker 2: of you know, they reconstructed the spectrum and they're shooting
Speaker 2: half court shots all weekend long, and everybody else having
Speaker 2: these great You guys are all having amazing weekends at
Speaker 2: wrestle coan Aw's like, hey, we've got this footage, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we got this footage. And then the ratings go up
Speaker 2: a little bit and they then they're tweeting about yeah,
Speaker 2: went up like twenty nine percent. Whoo, we got it.
Speaker 1: You know, you have to put over something. You have
Speaker 1: to You're you're in competition. You gotta put something over.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, But let me let me bring
Speaker 2: this back one time. How about this so backstage fights, Okay,
Speaker 2: that escalate now, Like we said, this did not look
Speaker 2: that bad even from fights I've seen in bars. This
Speaker 2: is not a bad fight. This is a guy who
Speaker 2: shoved in a front face lock. I've seen people get
Speaker 2: dragged over bars. Okay, could you could you pinpoint something
Speaker 2: that you've seen that might have been either better, worse
Speaker 2: or better, you know what I mean? Like I mean,
Speaker 2: but a little rougher, a little more hectic, and escalated
Speaker 2: a little more quickly.
Speaker 1: I saw plenty of fights in the back. I told
Speaker 1: you I've jumped in the more fights. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the hell I was thinking. No one's scared of me,
Speaker 1: No guy is scared of me. But how many times
Speaker 1: I jumped in when Shane fought somebody or you know,
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I remember knew Jack and Sandman fighting
Speaker 1: in the back. I do remember that one. And I
Speaker 1: remember screaming. Lance Storm was standing in front of me,
Speaker 1: protecting me from the chaos because we were in a
Speaker 1: very small room. And I remember Hack was said he
Speaker 1: said a joke, and I don't know what the joke
Speaker 1: was about, but Jack didn't like the joke, and Jack
Speaker 1: kept saying stop stopped telling the joke, and of course
Speaker 1: Hack kept saying the one line over and over again.
Speaker 1: And they went to blow. I mean they went to blows,
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, I start screaming, and Tommy Dreamer
Speaker 1: runs in the room. I told this story before. He
Speaker 1: dropped the merch bag when he ran, and a fan
Speaker 1: picked up the merch money and ran out of the building.
Speaker 1: So we lost. It's another thing I probably got blamed for.
Speaker 1: I got blame for everything the XPW fight. I got
Speaker 1: blamed for the merchmid I mean, you know, I was
Speaker 1: just nervous because I thought they were going to kill
Speaker 1: each other. I really thought they were going to kill
Speaker 1: each other. So I don't know, but I've seen fights,
Speaker 1: I've seen pull aparts since. But I'll tell you what,
Speaker 1: I'd rather than fight in the back than take it
Speaker 1: out and ruin the match or the storyline, you know,
Speaker 1: in the ring, like be professional about it, right, So
Speaker 1: in that instance, I think Punk did the right thing.
Speaker 2: Right now, how about this? How would you compare this
Speaker 2: to Paul airing the grievances with Saboo on TV, the
Speaker 2: grievances when he had about yeah when you knows showed
Speaker 2: and fired him and took all that TV time to
Speaker 2: talk about it, air the footage, you know, recap it.
Speaker 2: How would you compare it to that?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't because I think it's two different situations. I mean,
Speaker 1: do you do you do you see any similarities? I
Speaker 1: really don't know.
Speaker 2: Just taking time to talk about somebody who.
Speaker 1: Wanted, Yeah, he wanted to give an I guess in
Speaker 1: my take, he wanted to give an explanation to the people,
Speaker 1: to the fans. Why because it was one of our
Speaker 1: top guys and.
Speaker 2: He was supposed to be there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one hundred different. You could say. Like, the
Speaker 1: one thing that bothered me that Paul did was when
Speaker 1: he aired Tammy uh with the you know, crying with
Speaker 1: the drug problems and her cousin dying and all like
Speaker 1: that to me went a little too far. I think
Speaker 1: he took advantage of the situation. But and I'm not
Speaker 1: the only one. Uh, I'm not the only one that
Speaker 1: felt that way about that. Say, I didn't like that segment.
Speaker 1: But again, like, it wasn't that it was meant for TV.
Speaker 1: It wasn't backstage footage that a security camera took, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. That's a it's a different. That's different.
Speaker 1: It's one different. The other two Saboo Temmy that was
Speaker 1: made for television, like the the Jack Perry Punk Fight
Speaker 1: was not It wasn't supposed to be aired and.
Speaker 2: Did come back. Yeah, and it did use it again
Speaker 2: in the angle that he was back for punk it
Speaker 2: Punk's never going back.
Speaker 1: Well, you never say never. We said that about we
Speaker 1: said that about uh A w W at one point
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 2: I always thought he would go back.
Speaker 1: Well, you you are Creskin, you know everything I mean,
Speaker 1: I I kind of am.
Speaker 2: I mean I hate I mean, you know, there's one
Speaker 2: of those things that yes, you know, okay, like you
Speaker 2: like I keep telling you get that Hall of Fame
Speaker 2: speech ready never never, Just like after last week's episode,
Speaker 2: I said, start getting ready. Oh yeah, sure, keep writing
Speaker 2: those lines.
Speaker 1: Okay, we got it. But yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I think there's there's just some things that should be kept, uh,
Speaker 1: kept just for like the worker's eyes and people that
Speaker 1: are involved in the business and not in you know,
Speaker 1: not for the fans to see. I don't think this
Speaker 1: helped anything, not that it was personal, but it happened backstage,
Speaker 1: and it was kind of a private thing that was trying.
Speaker 1: They were trying to you know, handle it amongst themselves.
Speaker 1: So I just don't know what he thought he would
Speaker 1: get out of that footage. I guess he thought maybe
Speaker 1: that punk you know, everybody would say, oh my god,
Speaker 1: what an asshole Punk is? He looks so bad here
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah, And it was quite the opposite.
Speaker 1: And so it backfired on him and the company and
Speaker 1: hopefully he learned from it and you know, just be
Speaker 1: I just I want them to do well. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: just bothers me, Like it's always Tony saying some dumb
Speaker 1: tweet or doing something dumb. It's like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: I want them to succeed. I want everybody to do well.
Speaker 1: It's just good overall for everyone. And this didn't help matters.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: So that's that's my take on it. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see what else I had. Did you see
Speaker 2: that they they're branching off the bloodline. Did you see that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I did see that, very.
Speaker 2: Very cool, little out of left field storyline extension, and
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see where it goes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll interesting. I feel like the Bloodline's been around
Speaker 1: for a while. I know, I had a gripe before,
Speaker 1: like I said, oh, you know, after three weeks they
Speaker 1: go and they try to switch it up too quickly
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah. But I feel this one, like,
Speaker 1: the Bloodline's been around for a good amount of time,
Speaker 1: so it's fun to switch stuff up and see where
Speaker 1: it goes, you know what I mean. Like, it'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see what they do with it. There are
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stuff coming out of WrestleMania,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel really bad for Riya Ripley.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel.
Speaker 1: Really bad for her. Now will she come back stronger
Speaker 1: when she does come back, that the roof is going
Speaker 1: to be blown off whatever building she returns at. Because
Speaker 1: the people love her, they love her, and she's been
Speaker 1: such a she's been such a good champion, but her
Speaker 1: character is just so over, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: And she was just a dword by everyone into Like
Speaker 1: anybody that gets injured, it it really sucks, especially if
Speaker 1: you're champ, you know. So I I think when she
Speaker 1: comes back, she'll get the title back and she'll be
Speaker 1: stronger than ever. But that place is going to go
Speaker 1: nuts when she comes back, for sure. So you know,
Speaker 1: just a bad time. It's always bad timing, always bad timing.
Speaker 2: It sucks.
Speaker 1: And they were saying, like no heat on Live Morgan.
Speaker 1: It was just a freak accident that happened when she
Speaker 1: hit the wall. Stuff happens all the time, so it's
Speaker 1: just it's sad. It's unfortunate, but you'll you'll get another chance.
Speaker 2: It really it was. It seemed like it was just
Speaker 2: by chance thing where you know, you have those brawls
Speaker 2: in the back, I mean, you hit a wall, what
Speaker 2: do you expect of your body to do?
Speaker 1: Shoot, I stubbed my I think my toe broke. I
Speaker 1: stubbed it. You know what I mean. It happens. Stuff happens,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Hopefully a speedy recovery is in
Speaker 1: the works for her and uh, like I said, she'll
Speaker 1: be back stronger than ever for sure.
Speaker 2: So without doubt, heal or Babyface? What do you think?
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like when she comes back, she's going
Speaker 1: to get a Babyface pop. But turn them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotta be a heel.
Speaker 1: Just like Shane and I did a theory. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say I did because Shane was given a Babyface
Speaker 1: promo and then I had to turn them.
Speaker 2: So I saw a little bit more of that. I
Speaker 2: still haven't seen the full the full match or the
Speaker 2: beginning promo like you mentioned, but I saw the end.
Speaker 2: You saw the end, saw the end where everybody was
Speaker 2: all happy.
Speaker 1: Is it out there?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think actually c W had it on his
Speaker 2: uh one of his pages, one of his social media pages. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's all I've been able to see so far. But
Speaker 2: I'm dying to see your heel promo and turning that crowd.
Speaker 2: I'm dying to see that.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it either, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: and I was the other day. I was thinking, I
Speaker 1: can't remember exactly what I said, but I know I
Speaker 1: got booed very loutly.
Speaker 2: Oh, I have to see that, and I'll tell you
Speaker 2: what I'm going I was going through some of our
Speaker 2: archives and pulling some stuff for things that we're working on.
Speaker 2: I still want to see the shoot interview that you
Speaker 2: and Shane did from twenty twenty, the first time you
Speaker 2: guys sat down together for a shoot. I still want
Speaker 2: to see that.
Speaker 1: I didn't see that either. I think did Rob ever
Speaker 1: release it?
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you that tonight. I have no idea,
Speaker 2: but I saw the picture of you guys together. I
Speaker 2: have that saved. Yeah. I was like, I want this.
Speaker 2: Where is this? He never released it?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh, we gotta find that out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If he did, it's on his website.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a I gotta find that because I
Speaker 2: got I gotta hear that. I gotta hear that.
Speaker 1: Okay. Well, I did another one with him for Moose
Speaker 1: that has never been put up, and Moose had me
Speaker 1: sitting there till two thirty in the morning. I wanted
Speaker 1: to kill him.
Speaker 2: It's different with Rob, though, Rob. Rob's gonna ask the
Speaker 2: questions differently.
Speaker 1: Rob wasn't the one asking the question back and forth. No,
Speaker 1: it was Timmy yeah, but but.
Speaker 2: Oh it was Tim doing it. Okay, yeah, uh you
Speaker 2: know Tim's questions are.
Speaker 1: He was very good.
Speaker 2: He gets a little too Oprah Winfrey ish for me, he.
Speaker 1: Was very I remember when we were done. I even
Speaker 1: said to him, like, you did really well.
Speaker 2: He keeps it entertaining. I gotta give him qustion. I
Speaker 2: love Rob's style.
Speaker 1: On the end, Rob had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1: It was just it was Tim that did it. But
Speaker 1: it was it was good. I remember being impressed with
Speaker 1: them because I never saw Tim do an interview before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not bad. He's not bad, but like I said,
Speaker 2: he gets very Oprah Winfrey ish.
Speaker 1: You get a car, you get.
Speaker 2: A car with a car. But yeah, no, I've been
Speaker 2: going through our archives a lot over the last week
Speaker 2: or so. Okay, so a lot of pictures saved. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, to talk about pictures. I've been saving pictures
Speaker 2: left and right from the Battleground show. Great action shots
Speaker 2: you raring back like this.
Speaker 1: I was looking a little thick, so I have to
Speaker 1: approve anything.
Speaker 2: Oh, I will always approve, But no, I just love
Speaker 2: the action shots. You look, you looks fine.
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny because you know, my outfit was completely
Speaker 1: be dazzled and I had a all up my leg.
Speaker 1: I was cut and when we came back, you know,
Speaker 1: I had some blood and stuff and I was like,
Speaker 1: what the hell did I do? And I had like
Speaker 1: a it looked like a hematoma. I had a bump
Speaker 1: and I was like, I didn't take any bumps, but
Speaker 1: was it like getting in and out of the ring
Speaker 1: that I hit it like because the ring apron is
Speaker 1: the hardest part of the ring, you know. And then
Speaker 1: I had some scrapes on my stomach as well. I
Speaker 1: think my be jeweled to be dazzled outfit, the way
Speaker 1: c W had me over his knee, I think it
Speaker 1: scraped my stomach because I had like marks across my stomach.
Speaker 2: That's crazy that happen.
Speaker 1: Well, his knee gave out.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1: We had a little problem.
Speaker 2: We love we love you.
Speaker 1: I love c WL. I said, if every weekend could
Speaker 1: be like that, you know me, I don't like working
Speaker 1: ring side. I loved it, and I'm actually looking forward
Speaker 1: to the bash at Beckley because I'll be working ring
Speaker 1: side for that one, so i'll be you know, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of looking forward to it because it was a
Speaker 1: good time.
Speaker 2: I would love to go to that show if it
