I said, look, I go, I'm just pulling 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: this out as I'm coming out of the bathroom, or 21 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: I get a free second away from the family because 22 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: they're all trying to jump in front of it and stuff. 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, believe me, I know my kids were like, hey, 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: fans putting their face in the thing. Hey fans, how's 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: it going? Because when I was walking out of Epcot, 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm filming walking out of Epcot, and Maddie is trying 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: She's jumping in front of the camera and I keep 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: turning it. But then I showed them on the ride, 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: so I don't even know why I was doing that. 30 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: I that you did that. No, I enjoyed it. I 31 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: liked I like seeing stuff from other people's perspectives because 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: you know, I know what I like, and I like 33 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: to see what other people enjoy as well. So I 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: enjoyed watching it. One thing you can appreciate. So I 35 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: uploaded it to YouTube to be able to share it 36 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: in Patreon, and Disney hit me with a copyright claimed, 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: what do I have a cop did I play? I 38 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: wonder there might have been a song in there or something. 39 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: I think it might have been when the princesses went 40 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: by the cavalcade. See that was my favorite part, when 41 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: you showed the cavalcades. Yeah, I figured that because I 42 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: loved this. Yeah, it was good. It was a nice 43 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: and I love them so much. And my husband could 44 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: care couldn't care less, and he will like he wants 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: to get to let's say, you know, big thunder and 46 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: I go ooh, cavalcading is great, and we just keep 47 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: I'm walking backwards trying to look at it. So he's 48 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: not into it, but I totally am. You gotta stu. 49 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: Did you hear my aunt in the background she was 50 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: talking to Liz as I was filming. The fairy godmother 51 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: that was on the float was the same fairy godmother 52 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: that they saw for my aunt's birthday. I guess when 53 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: they went in a previous year. And I said, I 54 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: think as we were walking away, I didn't film it. 55 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: I said, well, you got to think there's probably not 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: a lot of actresses that they have to play their 57 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: fairy godmother. But I just thought that because I heard 58 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: you've talked about in the Frozen, Uh what do you 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: call the singalong? There's the one crew that you love. Well, 60 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: I was just gonna mention that because you put a 61 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: tidbit of that show in there. And the guy's name 62 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: is Equity Ben and he actually left Disney he doesn't 63 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: work there anymore. And there's that new guy Eric, which 64 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: is he was good, but you know we're partial guard Ben. 65 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: You know Ben was Ben was larger than life. And 66 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: I mean Eric did his job. He was good, but 67 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: he was no Ben. So they had so much pandemic shtick. 68 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: If you did you go when you well, yes, yes, 69 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: I before you did.

But they they had a lot 72 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: of pandemic stick that they they worked in in there.

The first two days or three days, 222 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: everything was great. But then the day of the shooting. 223 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: I spoke to my wife the night before and I said, listen, 224 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to bed a little early because I 225 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: have to I'm gonna go to the gym.

But you know, it was it was an 300 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: eye opening experience because I think our generation, and when 301 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: I say, I mean E. C. W. Attitude Era, so 302 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: forth and so on, we were always considered the young guys. 303 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: We were always sitted the young boys or the young 304 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: girls of the group. And now we're like the old people. Now. 305 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: You know, I got gray, I got you know, salt 306 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: and pepper.

And 308 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: I never thought in a million years that you know, 309 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: that would happen to me. I never thought that I 310 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: would be the old guy. And you know, I gotta 311 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: understand that the body is getting older, and what we 312 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: did to our bodies back then is it was brutal, 313 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: and you know, we can't do that anymore, you know, 314 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: So like every once in a while, what I like 315 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: to do is get into my I have a wrestling 316 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: school at Devon Dudley Academy in winter Park, which is 317 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: literally two minutes down the road from the performance seing. 318 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: See how I added that in there, Yes, please plug 319 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: whatever anyone, It's fine with me. But every time I, 320 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, I go down to the school, I try 321 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: to get in the ring over there and just walk 322 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: the rope just like you know, like getting the ring 323 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: and walk from one end of the rope to the other. 324 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: And when I first did it, I couldn't believe. It 325 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: was like learning how to walk all over again. Because 326 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: I had lost I was only at thirty percent on 327 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: my left side, and so I looked at him. I 328 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: didn't even know wrong, No, I basically got that I 329 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: was thirty percent. I went to rehab. I'm like seventy 330 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: five to eighty percent now, and I wanted to stay 331 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: at the rehab center. The women were so nice. They 332 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: were caddling me, you know, taking care of me, and 333 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, I don't want to leave. Yeah, 334 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: and it was just like, well, no, you got it, 335 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: like we can't keep you. And they gave me some 336 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: suggestions in terms of I work out at La Fitness 337 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: where I live, and they said, get the personal train 338 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: and have him work out with you. Here's the routine 339 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: that we were doing with you, give it to him 340 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: and let them do it. So that's what I did. 341 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: So now I'm continuing my rehab with the people at 342 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: La Fitness and it's going great. It's getting to the 343 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: point now where I'm on a treadmill and I'm trying 344 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: to like, how do you say this, like stretch my 345 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: legs like you know, walking but fast, like you know, 346 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: like the end incline is like six point five and 347 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: the running part of it is like three point five. 348 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm just trying to stretch my legs like, 349 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: you know, just like moms walk around the cold to 350 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: sack real fast like this. Yes, that's what I'm doing. Sure, 351 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: you're you're like a soccer mom now on the tread 352 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: That's what I am. And I'm okay, I'm okay with 353 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: that because you know, it's like it's like when a 354 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: gay guy. It's like when a guy pretends to be gay, 355 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: so he hangs out with a bunch of you know, women, 356 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 1: and then the women get undressed in front of him 357 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: because oh, it's okay, he's gay. I don't worried about it. 358 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you're just like, that's 359 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: that's what the whole locker room needs to say to us. Girls. 360 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: We're we're all gay. Well we're gay, don't worry about it. 361 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: We're good, We're good. Don't worry about it. Oh man, 362 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't begin to tell you how many 363 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: times I pretend like I was gay. Please, I don't 364 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: know about him. You're one hundred and eighty four children exactly. 365 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: That's why I got one hundred and eighty four children 366 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: because it actually worked. But you mentioned your school. Well, 367 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: first of all, God bless you. I'm so happy that 368 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: you're yeah. And I mean again, I just want anybody 369 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: to know I'm walking. I'm I don't have the limp anymore. 370 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm at eighty percent of my body. And that was 371 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why, because when WWE asked me, 372 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: they said, you know, would you want to come down 373 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: and do the documentary? First of all, it was for 374 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: Rob and I was like, absolutely, I'll do it for Rob. 375 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: And they said about the nine to eleven and I 376 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, sure, I come down and do it. 377 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: But I told my wife, I said, I've been out 378 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: since November. I said, this is a perfect opportunity for 379 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: me to go meet everybody before I actually come back 380 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 1: on May first. So it's not so strange when I 381 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: come back after being gone for so long. So you know, 382 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: I lived two hours away from Tampa, so I just 383 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: got in the car and drove and it felt like 384 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: old times, you know. You know, we could sit here 385 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: and say, oh, we want that. We're tired of being 386 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: on the road and we're tired of doing this and 387 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: doing that. But there is a little part of us 388 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: that actually misses it when we don't do it for 389 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: long periods of time, because we remember the good times 390 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: that we had when we were traveling and being on 391 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: the road, especially with friends that we were riding up 392 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: and down the highways. Room. Yeah, the playoff is when 393 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: you get there and you see everyone right and heading there. 394 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: But when you get there, it's like, oh, this is awesome. 395 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: And the great thing about it was I got up there, 396 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: I did the interview. When I was done with the interview, 397 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: the first person I saw was Paul Hayman because he 398 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: followed me after that, and he said, d and I 399 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: said hey, Paul, you know, and I kind of did 400 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: like the old wrestling thing, because you know, when you hurt, 401 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: you like to sell it even more. Some people have 402 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: sympathy for you. So I did the limp walking up 403 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: to Paul, and Paul said, Devon, I saw you walk 404 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: out of the room. Cut the ship to work. It's 405 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: not happening, honey, especially trying to work. Paul, you can't 406 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: work exactly. That's the biggest work of them all. And 407 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: so one of the first guys I saw uh doing 408 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: that was Kofe. That's how I bring I brought up Gofee. 409 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: Kofe was so he goes, oh, there he is, there 410 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: he is, and he proked this car. He came up, 411 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: gave me a big hug. I saw Xavier. You know 412 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: who else do? I said, m v P. You know, 413 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: I saw all of those guys and it just felt 414 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: like I was like, Okay, this is what I needed. 415 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: I called my wife, I said, this is what I needed. 416 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: I said, because in order for me to go back 417 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: May first, I don't want people feeling sorry to me 418 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: I can't do this or can't do that. I don't 419 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: want I just want to be able to be normal again. 420 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: Well you look great. I just let me just jump 421 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: over one second. Did you did they tell you, like, 422 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: were there any signs that you might have missed that 423 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: light to or is it just something that happened you know? No, No, 424 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 1: it was a stress you know. Listen, I love I 425 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: like w W E and this and that, but it 426 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: is a very stressful job love to like mind you 427 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: if you if you just heard that, I like, I 428 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: love like I do. I do, but it's it's one 429 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: of those things where it can be stressful. And you know, again, 430 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: sometimes when you feel passionate about something and you wanted 431 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 1: to project into your matches or what have you, and 432 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: then the power to be saying no, we want it 433 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: this way, and you get frustrated. So now you take 434 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: it personally. I had to learn how to not take 435 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: it so personal and just leave it at the door. 436 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the things that I 437 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: had a real bad problem with. And so I'm learning 438 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: how to do that, not only just with wrestling, but 439 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: just life in general. You know my ex wife, well, 440 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: I can't stand I'm learning to do that without about that. Yeah, 441 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: but you know, I just learned how to do so, 442 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, again, it is stressful. It is, but when 443 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: you have those great matches with guys that I've worked with, 444 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: the USSOS, the New Day, you know, a lot of 445 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: those matches, those great matches that we saw like two 446 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: years ago, I was producing those with the USOS and 447 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: the New Day, the Bar, the Bloods and Brothers, you know, 448 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: all of those guys. I had the tag teams and 449 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: so it was great, and you know, I really enjoyed myself, 450 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, with doing that. So there is some satisfaction. 451 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 1: Even when sometimes you get rejected on some of the 452 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: things that you want to do, there is still satisfaction 453 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: knowing that those guys are still going to go out there, 454 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: bust their ass and still deliver. I'm sorry, but a 455 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: lot of people like to, you know, and I said 456 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: this so many times and interviews. I even put it 457 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: on my Instagram about the New Day and the Bar 458 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: and the USOS, maybe you know, taking the page out 459 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: of the Dudley's edgend Christian and the Hardy's and taking 460 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: the other guys that are taken over where we left off. Oh, 461 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: that you can't say that they can't handle hold the 462 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: candle to you guys, and this and that I'm like, guys, 463 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: you got to learn how to let go and move 464 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: on past the torch. I mean, you guys, said you fans, 465 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: Some of you fans sound like the old timers that 466 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: wouldn't let the young guys progress. I mean, come on, 467 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: you gotta let them create history. And there's no question 468 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: in my mind the usso's the new Day, the Bludgeons 469 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: and all those guys eating Zach Ryder, Kurt Hawkins. I mean, 470 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: all those guys. They had tremendous matches, you know when 471 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: in the very beginning of me producing, and you know, 472 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: some of the fans just wouldn't let yesterday go. And 473 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: I get it. It was good and just like ECW, 474 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: so many guys, so many people. You hear it all 475 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: the time, even to this day. God, we wish ECW 476 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: would come back. You guys were great, you guys with 477 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: this and it wrestling ain't the same. I get that. 478 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: But you have to let go and let the new 479 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: generation come in. Because if the Hogan and Andre era, 480 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: you know, if people didn't let them go, where would 481 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: we be in an attitude era. That's a great point. 482 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to backtrack for a second. You mentioned your 483 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: wrestling school. Okay, and I know in the beginning it 484 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: was you and Bubba, it was the collab at first. 485 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: Are you still very close with Bubba? And why is 486 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: it just the Divonne School now? Well, you know he 487 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: moved to Connecticut, right, that was one of the things 488 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: he did. He moved to Connecticut, and he basically the 489 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: school was in Kassimmei at one point. So with him 490 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: being now in Connecticut and me being in Kassimmi, it 491 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: was just like one of those things where you know, 492 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,239 Speaker 1: we kind of went our separate ways. We went our 493 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: separate ways when we left the WWE as a tag team, 494 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: you know. You know, Bubba felt that the Dudley Boys 495 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: were not being used right when we came back. And look, 496 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: my thing was this, I knew when we came back, 497 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: we weren't going to try to relive the attitude Erar. 498 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: I knew that. I knew that that was gone. Our 499 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: job now was to still stay relevant as the old 500 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: guys now and to be able to help those who 501 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: are now coming up for the future of the WWE. 502 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: And you know, I wasn't trying to win titles and 503 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: things like that. I just wanted to be able to 504 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: prove to myself that I could hang with these young 505 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: guys now still after all of these years, you know, 506 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: and you know, Bubba just felt that, you know, the 507 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: team just wasn't being utilized right and so forth and 508 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: so on. So you know, he told me that Dudley's 509 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: were dead. He wanted to do the Bully Ray character. 510 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: And and I get that you had success with it 511 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: in TNA, but now you're coming over to the Giant 512 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: and it may not be the same result that you 513 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: get in TNA that you might get with WWE. I 514 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: get the passion for it, but still, you know, the 515 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: money is the Dudley's. It's not Devon separate, and it's 516 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: not Bubba separate. Just like with the Road Warriors, it 517 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: was never Hawked separate. It was never Animal And whenever 518 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: those two did separate for that little bit of time 519 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: that they did when they came back, it was tremendous, 520 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: And you know, I was kind of, you know, I 521 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: was kind of a little pissed off, you know, because 522 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: of the fact that you know, we had a second 523 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: deal ready to go. We were supposed to still be 524 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: wrestling in twenty sixteen. That's what a lot of people 525 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: don't know. And I'm sure people that the dirt sheet 526 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: writers that are listening to your things gonna have a 527 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: field day with this, because I've never said anything about 528 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: this puppy. It was going off head the bells were 529 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: going off as you're, oh, yeah, but but but we don't. 530 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: Me and Bubba don't have any animosity towards one another. 531 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: It's just that, you know, he saw it going one 532 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: way and I saw it going another, and you know, 533 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: it just didn't work out. So we never got a 534 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: chance to, you know, have that have a second run. 535 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: The second time we came back, I was heartbroken. If 536 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: you go back and you listen, if you look at 537 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: the when we said farewell to the Dudley's, they gave 538 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: us a script to do, and I said, fuck it. 539 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: I said, what's the worst they can do is fire me. 540 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: You already did. He told me not renewing the contract. 541 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: So I got nothing to lose now, and I got 542 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: nowhere to go, So I basically said effort. I went 543 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: out there and cut a promo from the heart, and 544 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: I remember when I came back from the locker room, 545 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: Vince got up and shook my hand and hugged me 546 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: and embraced me. Really tight, and I was just like 547 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: thank you, and I you know, there was tears coming 548 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: out of my eyes because I did not want to leave. 549 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: It took me ten years to come back to this 550 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: company and then to earned the respect of guys like 551 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: Roman Reigns and at the time being the Ambrose who 552 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: was there, and all the guys that were there in 553 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: that new generation. It took you know, I felt like, 554 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, we did all of this for what you know, 555 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: and to just because we want to do singles, you know, 556 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: he wanted to say. I was like no, I was like, 557 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: just go do it. Let's just do it. Let's make 558 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: the money and and call it a day. Because at 559 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you got to think about it. 560 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: Forty something years old, you know you're not gonna get 561 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: paid like this again, not in your forties. Yeah, yeah, 562 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: so something to think about, you know what, that's what 563 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: did it register in your mind? Like maybe I could 564 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: transition to being like an agent or a producer. Did 565 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: you No, here's the thing. I went to Hunter and 566 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: I said, Hunter, I said, this is not right. I said, 567 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,239 Speaker 1: I don't want to be singing.

I said, there's still life in me, 591 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: and he said no, no, no. He was like, I know, 592 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: I know, he goes, but look, Devonne, here's a chance 593 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: to get you to still stay with the company and 594 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: make money and not to mention, you can set yourself 595 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: up for life. And he was right, yeah, And you know, 596 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: I look at it like this, it's divine intervention that 597 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: brought that upon me, because there's no telling what would 598 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: have happened if I would have said no, or even 599 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: if Bubba and I would have taken the contract. You 600 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: know what would have happened after that year was over. 601 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: Where would I have gone? Would I have still had 602 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: the opportunity to become a producer. Here's the deal. I 603 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: get a four to one K I get stock in 604 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: the company. I got benefits that pay eighty five to 605 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: ninety percent. And I mean, listen what I just went 606 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: through with this free stroke. Forget about it. I'd be 607 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: like somebody stars that made millions of dollars and go 608 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: broke because they had medical issues and they couldn't pay 609 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: for it. This company that insurance paid for everything. I 610 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: got a life insurance policy in case something happens to me, 611 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: and if something does happen to me, my wife gets 612 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: the life insurance policy and eighty one percent of my 613 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: pay for I think at least a year or two. 614 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 1: So I'm set up up everything for the family and myself. 615 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: When I've done so, we're smart, smart move. Yeah. It 616 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: was so, you know, God bless Bubba, but I had 617 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: to go. I had to think for myself now, you know, 618 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: because we always start as a team. But now I 619 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: got a wife, kids I gotta take care of, and 620 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: I got to make sure that everything is gonna be 621 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: fun for me. Because think about it, so many guys 622 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: from our generation, whether it be E. CW or WWE, 623 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: that aren't doing too well right now. Oh yeah, they 624 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: got to go out there every day and still wrestling 625 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: that ring. They got to sign autographs and this and that. 626 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: WWE gave me the position to set myself up to 627 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: really do good. Well. I don't have to worry about 628 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: all of that anymore. I don't have to get back 629 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: in the ring if I don't want to, you know. 630 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: And that was the thing Hunter said, Well, you know, 631 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: every once in a while, we can still bring you 632 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: out or maybe put you in the matches so and 633 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: that's what they did. They brought me out every once 634 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: in a while, and it gave me that little bit 635 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: of a Okay, I'm cool, but you know, after getting 636 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: hit one time by one of those guys, I was like, look, 637 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 1: I'm too damn old. I can't take this no more. Yeah. So, 638 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: like I said, it went from not liking to be 639 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: a producer to because I didn't understand the value of it, 640 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: to now loving it and wanting to be a part 641 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: of it. Not to mention, everything happens for a reason, 642 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: and one of the greatest things about this was that 643 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: my soul got right, you know. And the reason why 644 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: you see Reverend Devon right now is because I became 645 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: an ordained reverend. I'm now a preacher now for real. 646 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: It's not just Reverend Devon as SmackDown now. I'm really 647 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: an ordained reverend now, which you're so wrong in e 648 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: c W. I mean, so, just let me put it 649 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: you this way. If I would have had if I 650 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: would have been a reverend back then and I had 651 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 1: a church and I had everybody come in there, that 652 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: church would have burned to the ground. I tell you 653 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: what I mean. I always say, like everything's in the vault. 654 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: Like I've now ever told stories, and I never will 655 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: because it's not my place, you know what I mean. 656 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: But all I need to say is we had a 657 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: good time. We had a fun nominal time. I mean, listen, 658 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: if the me and Paulie were talking about that when 659 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: I left from doing the interview, he we were talking 660 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: about e C walking about the travel large oh in 661 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: Philadelphia where we all used to stay. After we were done, 662 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: he goes, if the walls would talk for trust me, 663 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: the Walls wouldn't be talking at all at this point 664 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: because they knew a lot of people would go down. 665 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: That's like it was disgusting, disgusting hepatitis, like like sperm 666 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: ridden hotel. It was so gross, and yet we stayed 667 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: there for so long. It was cheap, and but to me, 668 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: it was like the it was like the five star 669 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: marriout to me because here it is, I'm a kid 670 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: from Brooklyn that never been out of Brooklyn, never been 671 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: out of there. And then all of a sudden, now 672 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: you're telling me I'm going to be on the road wrestling. 673 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: I'm cool with that, of course, And now you're telling 674 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,240 Speaker 1: me I'm gonna be staying overnight in a hotel where 675 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 1: there's groupies, there's Marks with money that wants to pay you, 676 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 1: you know, give you buy your beer and alcohol and stuff. Yes, 677 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: and we want to do anything. So now I'm in heaven. Well, 678 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: it was fun, you know when when we had the 679 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: bar down there and we would all go to the 680 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: bar and then it would put us on the television. Yes, yeah, 681 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: because we'd come on at like two in the morning 682 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: and they want to leave the bar open and we 683 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,800 Speaker 1: would sit there and we would watch with the fans, 684 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, and they would buy us drinks and we 685 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: would just out. And I think to this day that's 686 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: part of the reason why, like so many fans say 687 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: to me all the time, like your locker room was 688 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: the friendliest locker room ever, because you didn't treat us 689 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: like marks. You treated us like people, and you let us. 690 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: And I didn't want to say, well it was basically 691 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 1: because you were buying the boys beer. I didn't say that, 692 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: but it's true, Like I enjoyed. They were nice and 693 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: friendly and they weren't too persistent, and we would just 694 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: sit there and we would hang out for a while 695 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: and they were fun, you know, and it was a 696 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: good time, and to this day, they always say ECW 697 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: was so you guys were approachable and you were pleasant 698 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: to be around. You weren't like, get out of here, 699 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: you stupid mark, you know, because some people didn't want 700 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: to be bothered. You know, we're backed up as we were, like, hey, 701 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,240 Speaker 1: come on in the morning, like twenty thirty of us 702 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 1: two o'clock in the morning. And I could go on 703 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: and on. There were so many memories that I have 704 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: of just hanging out and like you and I I 705 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: said this on your show too, Like you and I 706 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: clicked from the beginning, and we were really close, you know, 707 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: like we talked in and out of the ring. And 708 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: I was heartbroken when you left. But I understood why, right, 709 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: some people had animosity when guys would leave, you know, 710 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,720 Speaker 1: because I was. I stayed there till the ship sunk. 711 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,760 Speaker 1: I didn't want to let go. I was just fighting 712 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: to survive, you know. And I would tell them, like, 713 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: these people they have families, Like they're being offered so 714 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,240 Speaker 1: much more money. I get it. They're not abandoning us, 715 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: They're doing it for their families. Yeah, and you know 716 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: it really, you know, it really helped me a lot, 717 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: because you know it hurt me, but it helped me 718 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: because I tell you what, you know, we were making 719 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,399 Speaker 1: very good money. You know, the last two maybe three 720 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: years off VCW really was it was really a good time. 721 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden you go to WWE 722 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: and that purse is even bigger, and now you'll be 723 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 1: able to buy things that you never thought you would 724 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: dream about buying going there.

And I didn't want that for them, 813 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, because I know, as protective as I was 814 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: and still am, I would flip out if somebody talk 815 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: to my kids the way you know, I got talked to, right, 816 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: And so you know, I didn't want to do it, 817 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,959 Speaker 1: but you know, I remember having conversations with the Rock 818 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: one time we would because the Rock and Bubba and 819 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: I used to drive together, and he said, dvar, He said, 820 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: you know, my father wasn't happy with me doing it either, 821 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: and because he said the same thing about with his 822 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: father how he felt about the business, and he said, 823 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 1: you know if if I me and my father had 824 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: many blowouts about it. Finally he gave in and then 825 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 1: he decided to you know, teach me, he goes. If 826 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: he didn't give in and decided to give me his blessing, 827 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: I would have never been to rock. I would have 828 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 1: never been who I am. And he's right. So I said, 829 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: you know what I said, you never know. If it's 830 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: if God wants them to be there, they'll be there. 831 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: If he doesn't. Do they have the bug? Now they 832 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: have they've been. Let me tell you something.

They grew up. They were with me 836 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: in e C. Wright, they were there with all the matches. 837 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 1: They were there watching Sandman drink a case of beer 838 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: before he goes out, and yo, you know, they were 839 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 1: there doing the whole thing. And so now you get 840 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,719 Speaker 1: to WWE. Now you see the glitz and the glamour 841 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: and all of that, and then the fans waiting outside 842 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: at the hotel and you know, autographs and this and that, 843 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: and now they're like they're like what six seven years old. 844 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: They're like, oh my god, you know, my dad is 845 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 1: somebody see maybe you should have just showed them the 846 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: travel lodge and they would have been like, no, I 847 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 1: cannot do this. Listen. I tried. I even tried to 848 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: show pictures of the travel lodge and they were like, Nope, 849 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 1: we ain't buying it because you just put us in 850 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: this five star hotel, so we're not buying it. We're 851 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: not buying it at all. Oh my god. So they're 852 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: working indies, they're working well yeah, and then they're in 853 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: a w right now doing this stuff over there. So 854 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: I'm very happy for it. And people say, well, why 855 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: didn't they go to w W. I tell them, and 856 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 1: I tell them. I tell people all the time. I'm like, 857 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 1: it's like Dusty Rose with Dustin. You know when when 858 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: Dusty was in the w c W slash n w A, 859 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: Dustin was there. But then Dustin needed his own identity 860 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: as opposed to being Dusty Rose's son, the son of 861 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: the plumber. So he had to go out there and 862 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: create you know, gold dust, his own persona. But he 863 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: had to do it on his own terms. And that's 864 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 1: what the that's what the twins wanted to do. They 865 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: wanted they didn't want Dad's help or nothing like that. 866 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: And they just want to go out there and do that. 867 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: And I, you know, I told him, I said, that's cool. 868 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: I said, listen, I said, you're on your own. I said, 869 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 1: you do what you gotta do. I was like, and 870 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,919 Speaker 1: you make your decisions. If you fall, then you fall. 871 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: Learn how to pick yourself back up. But if you 872 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: need me because you fell too hard, then come see me. 873 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: I love it and each other, which is each other. Yeah, 874 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 1: you know you and you and I weren't second generation wrestlers, 875 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 1: so we didn't have anybody made mistakes to help us. 876 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 1: We had to deal with the mistakes and live with it. Yeah, 877 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: you know. So they have a support system which is phenomenal, 878 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 1: and I'm proud of them, you know, So let them 879 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 1: go out there and do their own thing. Don't have 880 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 1: to live in daddy shadows. What I do like is 881 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: though they do pay homage to me and Bubba, and 882 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 1: they do hit us, they do hit the three DS, 883 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: So I'm happy about that, and I think they do 884 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: it better than me and Bubba. I never got to 885 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 1: take that, and you know I would have. Oh, I 886 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 1: know you would have. But it was a good thing 887 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: you didn't, because you know, Bubba, sometimes you know he 888 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: would want to hook you and then grab you and 889 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: really bring you down to the mat, and you know 890 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: that's what that's what he did to some people. So 891 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,439 Speaker 1: you know, and being at you and I were such good, 892 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: so good with each other. I'll be like, no, Bubba, 893 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: leave alone, Stime, don't do that. No, I gotta throw 894 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: this in now, just that before we move on. I 895 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,760 Speaker 1: got to ask this because I've never had a member 896 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: of the Triple Threat, a member of the Dudleys. So 897 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: when I do this, what do I What am I 898 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: doing here? Devon, you're doing three D Well, I don't 899 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: know about that. Well, I don't know. We can share it. 900 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: I better say, we're on Francine show, so we got 901 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: to share it and give it. Favorite e c W memory. 902 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: Do you have one? I mean, I know there's so many, 903 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 1: and I know I'm involved in some day. Oh absolutely. 904 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,319 Speaker 1: Like the one I have is like we talked about 905 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 1: my podcast. When I first came in my my first 906 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: match in e c W uh at the e c 907 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: W Arena, I should say, where you were with the 908 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: pit bulls and you were messing with dancing with Dudley's 909 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 1: and I jumped out the ring. I said bitch, you 910 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 1: messing with my brother. I don't understand this story because 911 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 1: I told you my first meeting with Paul he made 912 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: me take a choke slam that I didn't even know 913 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 1: what a choke slam was. Then you tell me the 914 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: other day paul says, do you don't touch her? She's 915 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: she can't bump or she she should n't pump, right, Ye, 916 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't the right time because we we 917 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,839 Speaker 1: did see you go through a table at one point, 918 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 1: so it wasn't like a pump, So I guess it 919 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 1: was at that time, you know, not good to touch 920 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,840 Speaker 1: it because what we had going on, because if I 921 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,439 Speaker 1: was to touch you, they would have had to really 922 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 1: destroy me, and Paulie was just starting to push me, 923 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: so they didn't want that. So now that makes sense. 924 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: So that was a fond memory of mine. And another 925 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 1: one was when we put balls Mahoney to the table 926 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 1: in Detroit. But what what stood out on that was 927 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 1: me and Bubba came out excided the crowd like we 928 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,399 Speaker 1: normally do, and we actually got into a fist fight 929 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: with fans in the front row, and yeah, Bubba got 930 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: a little too close and one of them took a 931 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 1: swipe at him. So you know, now Bubba goes after them, 932 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: and now the other people are trying to jump on Bubba. 933 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,839 Speaker 1: So therefore I got to jump on them. And at 934 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,919 Speaker 1: the security came over and they started trying to break 935 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: it up. They're like, Devon stopped this. I was like, 936 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: hell no, I said, this is good ratings. And you know, 937 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: and the great thing about it was the explosion when 938 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: we put balls mahoney through that flaming table was tremendous. 939 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 1: And then we get to the back and Paulie goes, hey, listen, 940 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: you know, listen, you know those guys you got into 941 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: the argument went of the fight. Yeah, they're in the back. 942 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,840 Speaker 1: And we thought we were like, oh they want to fight. Okay, 943 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 1: here we go, so we're ready to go back. They 944 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 1: said no, no no, no, no, no no, they just they were 945 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 1: they were they were super hyped about it. They loved it. 946 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 1: They thought it was great. And we were like, all right, 947 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,919 Speaker 1: and we went back there and we were like, hey, guys. 948 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: They was like, man, that was great, you guys, that 949 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,360 Speaker 1: was great because it was part of the show. They 950 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: were part to bring them. You know what, everybody who 951 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: got in a fight we would bring to the back 952 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 1: and give them T shirts and then we'd have to 953 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 1: go up to them and talk to them, so we 954 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't get yes, we get sued.

Yeah, you could bet 1136 00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 1: on on wrestling now unbeknownst to a lot of people. 1137 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 1: So it's, uh, it's all good. But yeah, we'll go 1138 00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,400 Speaker 1: over Patreon. And it's funny that we had to doubly 1139 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 1: on because I went this a coincidence, now just purely 1140 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,640 Speaker 1: a coincidence. So I was looking for something I just 1141 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 1: couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. The clip 1142 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,280 Speaker 1: that you were talking Devon was talking about on his 1143 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 1: show and he was talking about here. I was finding it, 1144 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 1: but it was in short form. So we're gonna go 1145 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 1: a little bit deeper because on his podcast he was 1146 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 1: talking about the WWEE CW revival and how everything that 1147 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 1: was going on behind the scenes with that. So this 1148 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,320 Speaker 1: is what we're gonna watch. You pop in at the 1149 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 1: end of it, but we're gonna watch Dreamer and Sam 1150 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 1: and versus the Dudley's from One night Stand. Now you 1151 00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:36,920 Speaker 1: have a great spot in it that we're gonna build to. 1152 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 1: Oh right, right, right, I know what this is. Yes, 1153 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,479 Speaker 1: So this is the main event of One night Stand 1154 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:45,960 Speaker 1: two thousand and five, and uh, it's just hearing what 1155 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 1: Devon had to say about everybody coming in and all that. 1156 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 1: I just I found it remarkable. So that's why we'll 1157 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,320 Speaker 1: be watching that this week. It's a little a little long. 1158 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to sit through some uh some some 1159 00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 1: talking for a few minutes to get to the action, 1160 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,200 Speaker 1: but nonetheless that's going to be the watch along. So 1161 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:06,280 Speaker 1: we'll work backwards on Wednesday. This is what we have 1162 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:11,520 Speaker 1: two really interesting side topics here, things that will likely 1163 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 1: disappear in the next twenty years. Well, let's one of 1164 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:19,680 Speaker 1: them is wearing a mask. I think this list might 1165 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 1: have been compiled before the masks okay, but hopefully that'll 1166 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 1: be gone by next year. But this is fascinating. As 1167 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 1: we run down the list of some of the stuff, 1168 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you're going to say, how are we going 1169 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,720 Speaker 1: to live without this? And I just thought this was 1170 01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 1: very interesting. But then how about this one. We're going 1171 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,560 Speaker 1: to kick off our extras for the week with fifteen 1172 01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:45,160 Speaker 1: of the hardest would you rather questions? Like maybe ever? 1173 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 1: Because that's what the neighbors are. Wow, the name of 1174 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 1: the artile, but they are of the sexual nature. Oh 1175 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: so they're a little saucy. Okay, Well, saucy is my 1176 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,880 Speaker 1: middle name. So let's get it going. I thought your 1177 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 1: middle name was Jonie. I really don't have a middle name. Okay, 1178 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,960 Speaker 1: I asked my mother, why didn't I have a middle name? Scouse, 1179 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 1: I don't know no middle name of my birth certificate, 1180 01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,880 Speaker 1: no middle name. I thought danger was your middle name. Yeah, 1181 01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,960 Speaker 1: that is my middle name. I thought Joni was the 1182 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 1: first female name that in my head. No, no middle 1183 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 1: name for me. Oh my Goshreme extreme my middle name. 1184 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: I should have said that. Why did I go for extreme? 1185 01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 1: I said, you're not as smart as me. That's why 1186 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 1: you're so you're the queen. I'm just a peasant. But yeah, 1187 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,120 Speaker 1: I mean anything else for me? It's at Chad, E 1188 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:39,040 Speaker 1: and B. On Twitter and Instagram. I posted the Herbie 1189 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,440 Speaker 1: picture I took at my hotel in Disney World, and 1190 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 1: the Herbie account liked it on Instagram. So I did 1191 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,479 Speaker 1: something right on Instagram for once. Interesting. Okay, well that's 1192 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:54,320 Speaker 1: fun place when you get acknowledged by a company. Yeah, Skittles. 1193 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,960 Speaker 1: When they acknowledged me, and then I told them to 1194 01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,080 Speaker 1: ship me some so I could do a review, and 1195 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 1: they stopped answering, and I was like, okay, Skittle's onto you, 1196 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 1: which I jumped on into that one too. I was like, yeah, 1197 01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 1: we should do a Skittle's taste test. Yeah, that's when 1198 01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,160 Speaker 1: I said, oh, Skittle should send us the product, and 1199 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 1: Skittle's ghosted us.
