0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Just keep going and there's something, there's something I'm just saying. Hi.

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:48.200
<v Speaker 1>So I watched your little Disney Oh do you think

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I put a little heart next to it? I don't know.

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>You don't check patrins. I did know. I saw, I

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>saw you did. Okay, I did enjoy it. A tip,

0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>here's a tip, Yeah, pull it out more. Yeah, when

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you're actually doing something. I know that was the thing,

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>and I said it on the video. I said, I'm

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>not like, I'm not as good as Francine. And it

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>comes logging. I said, look, I go, I'm just pulling

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>this out as I'm coming out of the bathroom, or

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 1>I get a free second away from the family because

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>they're all trying to jump in front of it and stuff.

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, believe me, I know my kids were like, hey,

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>fans putting their face in the thing. Hey fans, how's

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>it going? Because when I was walking out of Epcot,

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm filming walking out of Epcot, and Maddie is trying

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>She's jumping in front of the camera and I keep

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>turning it. But then I showed them on the ride,

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>so I don't even know why I was doing that.

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I that you did that. No, I enjoyed it. I

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.559
<v Speaker 1>liked I like seeing stuff from other people's perspectives because

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know what I like, and I like

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to see what other people enjoy as well. So I

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed watching it. One thing you can appreciate. So I

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>uploaded it to YouTube to be able to share it

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>in Patreon, and Disney hit me with a copyright claimed,

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>what do I have a cop did I play? I

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 1>wonder there might have been a song in there or something.

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it might have been when the princesses went

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>by the cavalcade. See that was my favorite part, when

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you showed the cavalcades. Yeah, I figured that because I

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>loved this. Yeah, it was good. It was a nice

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and I love them so much. And my husband could

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 1>care couldn't care less, and he will like he wants

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to get to let's say, you know, big thunder and

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I go ooh, cavalcading is great, and we just keep

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm walking backwards trying to look at it. So he's

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>not into it, but I totally am. You gotta stu.

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 1>Did you hear my aunt in the background she was

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>talking to Liz as I was filming. The fairy godmother

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that was on the float was the same fairy godmother

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>that they saw for my aunt's birthday. I guess when

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>they went in a previous year. And I said, I

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>think as we were walking away, I didn't film it.

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, you got to think there's probably not

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of actresses that they have to play their

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>fairy godmother. But I just thought that because I heard

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>you've talked about in the Frozen, Uh what do you

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>call the singalong? There's the one crew that you love. Well,

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I was just gonna mention that because you put a

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>tidbit of that show in there. And the guy's name

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>is Equity Ben and he actually left Disney he doesn't

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 1>work there anymore. And there's that new guy Eric, which

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>is he was good, but you know we're partial guard Ben.

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>You know Ben was Ben was larger than life. And

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean Eric did his job. He was good, but

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>he was no Ben. So they had so much pandemic shtick.

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>If you did you go when you well, yes, yes,

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I before you did. I'm saying I was asking if

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you didn't go, you didn't say it if you went

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to the Frozen singalong. But they they had a lot

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>of pandemic stick that they they worked in in there. Yes,

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>oh man, but I'll tell you something. And this is

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>rare for me. I actually have coffee today instead of tea.

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, wow, my dragon. Getting to Friday. This has

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 1>been a heck of a long week. Yeah, it has been.

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Actually it has been a doozy of a week. But

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what, the weekend's here. You should have a

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>katail this weekend. I was told that earlier in the week.

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking it's been I think it's been a while

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>for you. I think you should enjoy yourself. I'm not

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>saying throw up and pass out on the floor, but

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe a coati I will do you some good.

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>That's taking the fun out of it, isn't it. Yeah. Sure,

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the pass out. I'll by pass to throw up,

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>go right through that. Okay, Now I don't know because

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>then you get the spins. Oh it's the worst. Yeah,

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that feeling. No me neither. Months without

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>a drink five plus months. Well, and it's not because

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you're an alcoholic. It's just because you're watching your weight

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 1>and you're health. I had a bad night, and I

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>had the bad night supersedes everything else. Yeah, but you know,

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>you'll be all right, learn how to control yourself and

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you will be fine. I will not. Okay, how's everything

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.359
<v Speaker 1>going with you this week? Like you said, it was

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>just a long week. You know. We did we did school, work,

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 1>we hung out, got to see an old friend yesterday,

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>me and my daughter actually went to lunch with her

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and her daughter, which was nice. I got out of

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the house for a little bit because I haven't been

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>out of the house since Disney, so there's a little

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.919
<v Speaker 1>venture outside. And you know, I have a bunch of

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 1>cameos to do later today and just work. Friday is

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:47.559
<v Speaker 1>my workday. I work all day Friday. I love and

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>when I see, you know, we have our plan. And

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.279
<v Speaker 1>then I see the cameo filming Friday. I'm like, oh,

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a hard day's work. It's just convenient because I'm

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>already dressed, you know. And it's like, if you you

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>have to be strategic when you book these, because if

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you book during the middle of the week and then

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>they want one and then the time runs out, you

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>have to put on hair and makeup for one cameo.

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>So I just say, listen, let's just do them all

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>in one day and get them over with. So I

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>have a bunch today, which is great. Some of them

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:20.719
<v Speaker 1>are feisty, and I'm ready to go. Iicy. Now. That's

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the way to start the weekend, is father. The weather

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>was starting to change. It's cold and rainy here today,

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>but well not that rainy because I have my sunglasses

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>on obviously, but you know, but you know it's part

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>of the gimmick. And it's also Rustlemania weekend. That's the thing.

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, can you believe that? And

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>it's as I'm sitting here, I'm like, I should be

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>at Russell Khan. Yes, but I didn't go this year.

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.719
<v Speaker 1>I did not go this year. I was we record

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>a triple threat the other night. We had the same conversation.

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have that feel that it had a few

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>years ago. For the week and I'm not just talking

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the weekend. I'm talking about, you know, packing your bags,

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>getting all a set. You're gonna be gone for a

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>few days. Shane is on his way to Alaska. I know,

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 1>so that's one thing that's on another stratosphere. But think

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>about that. But our guest is here. I guess this year.

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll discuss this later. I guess I will. This is

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a man that I love with all of my heart,

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.840

<v Speaker 1>week because we reconnected, and I'm so happy to have

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.880

<v Speaker 1>your podcast with some people might not know who listen here.

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>What happened that day in the hotel? Can you retell

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>that story? Yeah? Sure. I was in Hollywood, California. I

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>was about to I was producing for NBC Punky Brewster

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Show and they're bringing back Punky Brewster and wwe asked

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 1>me to be in Hollywood to do the show because

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Alexa Bliss and Charlotte was going to be on the show. Okay,

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>so I had to go to produce it. So I said,

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.439
<v Speaker 1>not a problem. The first two days or three days,

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 1>everything was great. But then the day of the shooting.

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I spoke to my wife the night before and I said, listen,

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go to bed a little early because I

0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 1>have to I'm gonna go to the gym. I want

0:12:59.920 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 1>to try to get the workout in before I have

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to be on a set. And he said goodbye. I said,

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.319
<v Speaker 1>I'll call you in the morning. So when I didn't

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>call her, she got a little suspicious and was worried,

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>so she called me. Now, I get up before she

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>called me, I get up to go to the bathroom,

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't feel my legs, so I go to

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 1>stand up, not realizing, and I fell flat face first

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 1>into the floor. My bottom lip went into my teeth,

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and I was just like, good God. I was like,

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be a sight for sore eyes. And haven't

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I go on a set and you know, because if

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>we were doing something for WWE or ECW or TNA,

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.199
<v Speaker 1>it'd be no problem. Hey, you know my lip went

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>into my teeth. Ah, I know you laugh about it,

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>But you go on a set where people are not

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>familiar with that, they'd be like, oh my god. What.

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>And I tried to crawl to the bathroom because I

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 1>had to go to the bathroom. That's why I got up.

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I tried to crawl to the bathroom and I got

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>halfway across the room and couldn't make it. The phone rang.

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>It was my wife, and there was a second time

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>she called. So when sheoting in an answer, she called

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the front desk and she said something wrong. She's like,

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I can't get my husband, and you know, I'd just

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>spoken to him last night. Something's not right, and thank

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>god she did. They called security, security came upstairs. I

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>was on the floor. I was almost out of it,

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and I said, you got to come in. I can't

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>get up, and they came in, found me on the floor.

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 1>They called the ambulance and that was when they told

0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>me I was having a stroke. Now, my wife had

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>told me that on the phone call that I had

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>with her, but I thought she was crazy. I was like,

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm too young to have a damn stroke. I was

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>like crazy. I was like, but nowadays, listen, people getting

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 1>strokes in their thirties and twenties. So no one's promised

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow and and all of that good stuff. So they

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>brought me in there. I had brain surgery because they

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>had to put a stint in the right side of

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 1>my leg to go up to the brain to break

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>up the clock. Plus I was bleeding internally, and I

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>tried to keep for the secret. I didn't want anybody

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to know. And somebody I forgot what guests was on

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the podcast, and I think it was Matt Hardy. Had Hardy,

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I think was on the podcast, and he knew and

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 1>he was just like d I'm so glad everything is

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>good with you and this and that and blah blah blah.

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, thanks, Matt. I was like, you know,

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 1>everything is good and this and that. I was like,

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I was just dealing with some health issues, which is

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 1>why I wasn't on the show. And as soon as

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I said that, the the dirt sheets went crazy, Oh

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Devon's dying, Oh Devon's this, and Devon's dad. I was like,

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the son of a bitches. I was like, damn, I

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>just said I had a couple of health issues. That

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 1>was just stuff off. Basically, listen, I could have I

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>could have had a common cold. Maybe my nuts wasn't

0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 1>working right. I don't know, you know, I mean think

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>about it. I mean, most guys when they get about

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>their forties, if their nuts are not working to them,

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that's health issues. Yees, you went through that's heavy stuff. Yeah,

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you know. And my my doctor, my neurologists told me,

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 1>she said, you need to thank your wife and kissing

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>because if she would not have called, if a second later,

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you would have been dead. You would have never made it.

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>And see, our mentality is okay, I'll just sit here

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>for a minute and get I'll get off, I'll shake

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it off, I'll get crazy. Well, see that's the thing,

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and and and yeah, uh his arm is gashed over

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>from the barbed wire. I remember, see attendants and the bone.

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Meanwhile he's telling Phonsie, Hey, hey, Doddy, hey, give me

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.800
<v Speaker 1>some give me some crazy some tape. That's how crazy

0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>we were. But you know, it was it was an

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 1>eye opening experience because I think our generation, and when

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I say, I mean E. C. W. Attitude Era, so

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 1>forth and so on, we were always considered the young guys.

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 1>We were always sitted the young boys or the young

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>girls of the group. And now we're like the old people. Now.

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I got gray, I got you know, salt

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and pepper. Yeah, but it looks I have to cover mine.

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 1>We're the grizzled old that's now. Yeah, we are. And

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I never thought in a million years that you know,

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 1>that would happen to me. I never thought that I

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>would be the old guy. And you know, I gotta

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.119
<v Speaker 1>understand that the body is getting older, and what we

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>did to our bodies back then is it was brutal,

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we can't do that anymore, you know,

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.879
<v Speaker 1>So like every once in a while, what I like

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 1>to do is get into my I have a wrestling

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.679
<v Speaker 1>school at Devon Dudley Academy in winter Park, which is

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 1>literally two minutes down the road from the performance seing.

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>See how I added that in there, Yes, please plug

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>whatever anyone, It's fine with me. But every time I,

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I go down to the school, I try

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 1>to get in the ring over there and just walk

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the rope just like you know, like getting the ring

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and walk from one end of the rope to the other.

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.919
<v Speaker 1>And when I first did it, I couldn't believe. It

0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.400
<v Speaker 1>was like learning how to walk all over again. Because

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I had lost I was only at thirty percent on

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 1>my left side, and so I looked at him. I

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:15.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't even know wrong, No, I basically got that I

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>was thirty percent. I went to rehab. I'm like seventy

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 1>five to eighty percent now, and I wanted to stay

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 1>at the rehab center. The women were so nice. They

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.119
<v Speaker 1>were caddling me, you know, taking care of me, and

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, oh, I don't want to leave. Yeah,

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was just like, well, no, you got it,

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.200
<v Speaker 1>like we can't keep you. And they gave me some

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 1>suggestions in terms of I work out at La Fitness

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 1>where I live, and they said, get the personal train

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and have him work out with you. Here's the routine

0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that we were doing with you, give it to him

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:45.120
<v Speaker 1>and let them do it. So that's what I did.

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 1>So now I'm continuing my rehab with the people at

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>La Fitness and it's going great. It's getting to the

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.879
<v Speaker 1>point now where I'm on a treadmill and I'm trying

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.119
<v Speaker 1>to like, how do you say this, like stretch my

0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 1>legs like you know, walking but fast, like you know,

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.679
<v Speaker 1>like the end incline is like six point five and

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the running part of it is like three point five.

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I'm just trying to stretch my legs like,

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, just like moms walk around the cold to

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.880
<v Speaker 1>sack real fast like this. Yes, that's what I'm doing. Sure,

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you're you're like a soccer mom now on the tread

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what I am. And I'm okay, I'm okay with

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 1>that because you know, it's like it's like when a

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 1>gay guy. It's like when a guy pretends to be gay,

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.679
<v Speaker 1>so he hangs out with a bunch of you know, women,

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:27.959
<v Speaker 1>and then the women get undressed in front of him

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 1>because oh, it's okay, he's gay. I don't worried about it.

0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 1>And then all of a sudden, you're just like, that's

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what the whole locker room needs to say to us. Girls.

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>We're we're all gay. Well we're gay, don't worry about it.

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:40.640
<v Speaker 1>We're good, We're good. Don't worry about it. Oh man,

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I can't begin to tell you how many

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 1>times I pretend like I was gay. Please, I don't

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>know about him. You're one hundred and eighty four children exactly.

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:51.440
<v Speaker 1>That's why I got one hundred and eighty four children

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:57.360
<v Speaker 1>because it actually worked. But you mentioned your school. Well,

0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>first of all, God bless you. I'm so happy that

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you're yeah. And I mean again, I just want anybody

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to know I'm walking. I'm I don't have the limp anymore.

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm at eighty percent of my body. And that was

0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons why, because when WWE asked me,

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 1>they said, you know, would you want to come down

0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:14.679
<v Speaker 1>and do the documentary? First of all, it was for

0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Rob and I was like, absolutely, I'll do it for Rob.

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 1>And they said about the nine to eleven and I

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, sure, I come down and do it.

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 1>But I told my wife, I said, I've been out

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.399
<v Speaker 1>since November. I said, this is a perfect opportunity for

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 1>me to go meet everybody before I actually come back

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.199
<v Speaker 1>on May first. So it's not so strange when I

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.879
<v Speaker 1>come back after being gone for so long. So you know,

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I lived two hours away from Tampa, so I just

0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.679
<v Speaker 1>got in the car and drove and it felt like

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:42.919
<v Speaker 1>old times, you know. You know, we could sit here

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and say, oh, we want that. We're tired of being

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 1>on the road and we're tired of doing this and

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 1>doing that. But there is a little part of us

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 1>that actually misses it when we don't do it for

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 1>long periods of time, because we remember the good times

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that we had when we were traveling and being on

0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the road, especially with friends that we were riding up

0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 1>and down the highways. Room. Yeah, the playoff is when

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you get there and you see everyone right and heading there.

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 1>But when you get there, it's like, oh, this is awesome.

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.440
<v Speaker 1>And the great thing about it was I got up there,

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I did the interview. When I was done with the interview,

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the first person I saw was Paul Hayman because he

0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>followed me after that, and he said, d and I

0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:24.000
<v Speaker 1>said hey, Paul, you know, and I kind of did

0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 1>like the old wrestling thing, because you know, when you hurt,

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you like to sell it even more. Some people have

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.719
<v Speaker 1>sympathy for you. So I did the limp walking up

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 1>to Paul, and Paul said, Devon, I saw you walk

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 1>out of the room. Cut the ship to work. It's

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 1>not happening, honey, especially trying to work. Paul, you can't

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:43.680
<v Speaker 1>work exactly. That's the biggest work of them all. And

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 1>so one of the first guys I saw uh doing

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 1>that was Kofe. That's how I bring I brought up Gofee.

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Kofe was so he goes, oh, there he is, there

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 1>he is, and he proked this car. He came up,

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.439
<v Speaker 1>gave me a big hug. I saw Xavier. You know

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:00.919
<v Speaker 1>who else do? I said, m v P. You know,

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I saw all of those guys and it just felt

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 1>like I was like, Okay, this is what I needed.

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I called my wife, I said, this is what I needed.

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I said, because in order for me to go back

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:11.119
<v Speaker 1>May first, I don't want people feeling sorry to me

0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't do this or can't do that. I don't

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:15.200
<v Speaker 1>want I just want to be able to be normal again.

0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Well you look great. I just let me just jump

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.680
<v Speaker 1>over one second. Did you did they tell you, like,

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>were there any signs that you might have missed that

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>light to or is it just something that happened you know? No, No,

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.959
<v Speaker 1>it was a stress you know. Listen, I love I

0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 1>like w W E and this and that, but it

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 1>is a very stressful job love to like mind you

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.399
<v Speaker 1>if you if you just heard that, I like, I

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>love like I do. I do, but it's it's one

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:47.159
<v Speaker 1>of those things where it can be stressful. And you know, again,

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 1>sometimes when you feel passionate about something and you wanted

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:54.959
<v Speaker 1>to project into your matches or what have you, and

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 1>then the power to be saying no, we want it

0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 1>this way, and you get frustrated. So now you take

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 1>it personally. I had to learn how to not take

0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 1>it so personal and just leave it at the door.

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:06.879
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's one of the things that I

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 1>had a real bad problem with. And so I'm learning

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.119
<v Speaker 1>how to do that, not only just with wrestling, but

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:16.240
<v Speaker 1>just life in general. You know my ex wife, well,

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:24.199
<v Speaker 1>I can't stand I'm learning to do that without about that. Yeah,

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.639
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I just learned how to do so,

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, again, it is stressful. It is, but when

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:32.920
<v Speaker 1>you have those great matches with guys that I've worked with,

0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the USSOS, the New Day, you know, a lot of

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.639
<v Speaker 1>those matches, those great matches that we saw like two

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.680
<v Speaker 1>years ago, I was producing those with the USOS and

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the New Day, the Bar, the Bloods and Brothers, you know,

0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 1>all of those guys. I had the tag teams and

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 1>so it was great, and you know, I really enjoyed myself,

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:55.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, with doing that. So there is some satisfaction.

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Even when sometimes you get rejected on some of the

0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 1>things that you want to do, there is still satisfaction

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.120
<v Speaker 1>knowing that those guys are still going to go out there,

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 1>bust their ass and still deliver. I'm sorry, but a

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:09.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of people like to, you know, and I said

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 1>this so many times and interviews. I even put it

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 1>on my Instagram about the New Day and the Bar

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and the USOS, maybe you know, taking the page out

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:24.880
<v Speaker 1>of the Dudley's edgend Christian and the Hardy's and taking

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the other guys that are taken over where we left off. Oh,

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:30.399
<v Speaker 1>that you can't say that they can't handle hold the

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>candle to you guys, and this and that I'm like, guys,

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.399
<v Speaker 1>you got to learn how to let go and move

0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 1>on past the torch. I mean, you guys, said you fans,

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Some of you fans sound like the old timers that

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't let the young guys progress. I mean, come on,

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you gotta let them create history. And there's no question

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 1>in my mind the usso's the new Day, the Bludgeons

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and all those guys eating Zach Ryder, Kurt Hawkins. I mean,

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 1>all those guys. They had tremendous matches, you know when

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 1>in the very beginning of me producing, and you know,

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.919
<v Speaker 1>some of the fans just wouldn't let yesterday go. And

0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I get it. It was good and just like ECW,

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>so many guys, so many people. You hear it all

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the time, even to this day. God, we wish ECW

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 1>would come back. You guys were great, you guys with

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 1>this and it wrestling ain't the same. I get that.

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:19.360
<v Speaker 1>But you have to let go and let the new

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 1>generation come in. Because if the Hogan and Andre era,

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, if people didn't let them go, where would

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>we be in an attitude era. That's a great point.

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to backtrack for a second. You mentioned your

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:34.679
<v Speaker 1>wrestling school. Okay, and I know in the beginning it

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:37.879
<v Speaker 1>was you and Bubba, it was the collab at first.

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Are you still very close with Bubba? And why is

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:45.360
<v Speaker 1>it just the Divonne School now? Well, you know he

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.720
<v Speaker 1>moved to Connecticut, right, that was one of the things

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:51.679
<v Speaker 1>he did. He moved to Connecticut, and he basically the

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 1>school was in Kassimmei at one point. So with him

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 1>being now in Connecticut and me being in Kassimmi, it

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>was just like one of those things where you know,

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:02.239
<v Speaker 1>we kind of went our separate ways. We went our

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 1>separate ways when we left the WWE as a tag team,

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you know. You know, Bubba felt that the Dudley Boys

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:18.920
<v Speaker 1>were not being used right when we came back. And look,

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 1>my thing was this, I knew when we came back,

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:24.120
<v Speaker 1>we weren't going to try to relive the attitude Erar.

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I knew that. I knew that that was gone. Our

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:31.320
<v Speaker 1>job now was to still stay relevant as the old

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 1>guys now and to be able to help those who

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 1>are now coming up for the future of the WWE.

0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I wasn't trying to win titles and

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 1>things like that. I just wanted to be able to

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:45.680
<v Speaker 1>prove to myself that I could hang with these young

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 1>guys now still after all of these years, you know,

0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know, Bubba just felt that, you know, the

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:55.200
<v Speaker 1>team just wasn't being utilized right and so forth and

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:57.119
<v Speaker 1>so on. So you know, he told me that Dudley's

0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 1>were dead. He wanted to do the Bully Ray character.

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 1>And and I get that you had success with it

0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>in TNA, but now you're coming over to the Giant

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and it may not be the same result that you

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 1>get in TNA that you might get with WWE. I

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:15.359
<v Speaker 1>get the passion for it, but still, you know, the

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 1>money is the Dudley's. It's not Devon separate, and it's

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:21.359
<v Speaker 1>not Bubba separate. Just like with the Road Warriors, it

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 1>was never Hawked separate. It was never Animal And whenever

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:25.919
<v Speaker 1>those two did separate for that little bit of time

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that they did when they came back, it was tremendous,

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I was kind of, you know, I

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:34.639
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a little pissed off, you know, because

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>of the fact that you know, we had a second

0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:39.399
<v Speaker 1>deal ready to go. We were supposed to still be

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 1>wrestling in twenty sixteen. That's what a lot of people

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:46.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know. And I'm sure people that the dirt sheet

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 1>writers that are listening to your things gonna have a

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:51.199
<v Speaker 1>field day with this, because I've never said anything about

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 1>this puppy. It was going off head the bells were

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 1>going off as you're, oh, yeah, but but but we don't.

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Me and Bubba don't have any animosity towards one another.

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just that, you know, he saw it going one

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>way and I saw it going another, and you know,

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 1>it just didn't work out. So we never got a

0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>chance to, you know, have that have a second run.

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>The second time we came back, I was heartbroken. If

0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 1>you go back and you listen, if you look at

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the when we said farewell to the Dudley's, they gave

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 1>us a script to do, and I said, fuck it.

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, what's the worst they can do is fire me.

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>You already did. He told me not renewing the contract.

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 1>So I got nothing to lose now, and I got

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 1>nowhere to go, So I basically said effort. I went

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 1>out there and cut a promo from the heart, and

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I remember when I came back from the locker room,

0:28:46.080 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Vince got up and shook my hand and hugged me

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and embraced me. Really tight, and I was just like

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 1>thank you, and I you know, there was tears coming

0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 1>out of my eyes because I did not want to leave.

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 1>It took me ten years to come back to this

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>company and then to earned the respect of guys like

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Roman Reigns and at the time being the Ambrose who

0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 1>was there, and all the guys that were there in

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>that new generation. It took you know, I felt like,

0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, we did all of this for what you know,

0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and to just because we want to do singles, you know,

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to say. I was like no, I was like,

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:21.120
<v Speaker 1>just go do it. Let's just do it. Let's make

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the money and and call it a day. Because at

0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, you got to think about it.

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Forty something years old, you know you're not gonna get

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 1>paid like this again, not in your forties. Yeah, yeah,

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 1>so something to think about, you know what, that's what

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>did it register in your mind? Like maybe I could

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:41.440
<v Speaker 1>transition to being like an agent or a producer. Did

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you No, here's the thing. I went to Hunter and

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I said, Hunter, I said, this is not right. I said,

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:50.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be singing. I said, let me

0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>go and help, like say, apollow out what the time

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:57.240
<v Speaker 1>was in was trying to find his you know, place

0:29:57.320 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>in the company. Uh. There was a couple of other guys,

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.160
<v Speaker 1>two young guys that I had offered to come in

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 1>there and just help out, just the same way for Rouke.

0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Ron Simmons did it for Bradshaw, because remember when Bradshaw

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:10.960
<v Speaker 1>first got to w W, he was doing like the

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Stan Hansen gimmick and it wasn't It didn't get over

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 1>as well as it did when he got with for

0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Rouke and they became a PA. I wanted to do

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the same thing and they told me no. They said no.

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>They was like, you know, Vince doesn't want that, and

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you know we're gonna we But Hana pulled me aside.

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>He told me because he didn't want me to sit

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 1>before me and Bubba went out to the ring on

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Monday night raw He pulled me to the side and

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:39.880
<v Speaker 1>he said, listen, we have a proposition for you. And

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was gonna say, they're gonna give me

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the contract, let me do it. I was like yeah, No,

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>they were just like, you know, we want to bring

0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you in as a producer, and I was like, I

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be a producer, said I'm not ready

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to hang it up. I said, there's still life in me,

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and he said no, no, no. He was like, I know,

0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I know, he goes, but look, Devonne, here's a chance

0:30:56.960 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to get you to still stay with the company and

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 1>make money and not to mention, you can set yourself

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:06.200
<v Speaker 1>up for life. And he was right, yeah, And you know,

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I look at it like this, it's divine intervention that

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 1>brought that upon me, because there's no telling what would

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 1>have happened if I would have said no, or even

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.320
<v Speaker 1>if Bubba and I would have taken the contract. You

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>know what would have happened after that year was over.

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Where would I have gone? Would I have still had

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to become a producer. Here's the deal. I

0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:27.520
<v Speaker 1>get a four to one K I get stock in

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the company. I got benefits that pay eighty five to

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:34.640
<v Speaker 1>ninety percent. And I mean, listen what I just went

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>through with this free stroke. Forget about it. I'd be

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 1>like somebody stars that made millions of dollars and go

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 1>broke because they had medical issues and they couldn't pay

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:47.600
<v Speaker 1>for it. This company that insurance paid for everything. I

0:31:47.640 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>got a life insurance policy in case something happens to me,

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and if something does happen to me, my wife gets

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the life insurance policy and eighty one percent of my

0:31:56.640 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 1>pay for I think at least a year or two.

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:02.719
<v Speaker 1>So I'm set up up everything for the family and myself.

0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>When I've done so, we're smart, smart move. Yeah. It

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 1>was so, you know, God bless Bubba, but I had

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to go. I had to think for myself now, you know,

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 1>because we always start as a team. But now I

0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:18.520
<v Speaker 1>got a wife, kids I gotta take care of, and

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I got to make sure that everything is gonna be

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 1>fun for me. Because think about it, so many guys

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 1>from our generation, whether it be E. CW or WWE,

0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:32.040
<v Speaker 1>that aren't doing too well right now. Oh yeah, they

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>got to go out there every day and still wrestling

0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:36.800
<v Speaker 1>that ring. They got to sign autographs and this and that.

0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:41.240
<v Speaker 1>WWE gave me the position to set myself up to

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:42.840
<v Speaker 1>really do good. Well. I don't have to worry about

0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:44.320
<v Speaker 1>all of that anymore. I don't have to get back

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in the ring if I don't want to, you know.

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:48.040
<v Speaker 1>And that was the thing Hunter said, Well, you know,

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 1>every once in a while, we can still bring you

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:51.680
<v Speaker 1>out or maybe put you in the matches so and

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that's what they did. They brought me out every once

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:55.280
<v Speaker 1>in a while, and it gave me that little bit

0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:58.840
<v Speaker 1>of a Okay, I'm cool, but you know, after getting

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 1>hit one time by one of those guys, I was like, look,

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:06.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm too damn old. I can't take this no more. Yeah. So,

0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>like I said, it went from not liking to be

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a producer to because I didn't understand the value of it,

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to now loving it and wanting to be a part

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 1>of it. Not to mention, everything happens for a reason,

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and one of the greatest things about this was that

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:27.840
<v Speaker 1>my soul got right, you know. And the reason why

0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:30.080
<v Speaker 1>you see Reverend Devon right now is because I became

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 1>an ordained reverend. I'm now a preacher now for real.

0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not just Reverend Devon as SmackDown now. I'm really

0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>an ordained reverend now, which you're so wrong in e

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 1>c W. I mean, so, just let me put it

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:47.920
<v Speaker 1>you this way. If I would have had if I

0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 1>would have been a reverend back then and I had

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:51.959
<v Speaker 1>a church and I had everybody come in there, that

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>church would have burned to the ground. I tell you

0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. I always say, like everything's in the vault.

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I've now ever told stories, and I never will

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:05.200
<v Speaker 1>because it's not my place, you know what I mean.

0:34:05.280 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 1>But all I need to say is we had a

0:34:07.520 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>good time. We had a fun nominal time. I mean, listen,

0:34:12.200 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 1>if the me and Paulie were talking about that when

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I left from doing the interview, he we were talking

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 1>about e C walking about the travel large oh in

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia where we all used to stay. After we were done,

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:27.520
<v Speaker 1>he goes, if the walls would talk for trust me,

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the Walls wouldn't be talking at all at this point

0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 1>because they knew a lot of people would go down.

0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 1>That's like it was disgusting, disgusting hepatitis, like like sperm

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>ridden hotel. It was so gross, and yet we stayed

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:54.480
<v Speaker 1>there for so long. It was cheap, and but to me,

0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:56.839
<v Speaker 1>it was like the it was like the five star

0:34:56.920 --> 0:34:58.839
<v Speaker 1>marriout to me because here it is, I'm a kid

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 1>from Brooklyn that never been out of Brooklyn, never been

0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:03.799
<v Speaker 1>out of there. And then all of a sudden, now

0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you're telling me I'm going to be on the road wrestling.

0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm cool with that, of course, And now you're telling

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:11.240
<v Speaker 1>me I'm gonna be staying overnight in a hotel where

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:16.359
<v Speaker 1>there's groupies, there's Marks with money that wants to pay you,

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, give you buy your beer and alcohol and stuff. Yes,

0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and we want to do anything. So now I'm in heaven. Well,

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 1>it was fun, you know when when we had the

0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:26.840
<v Speaker 1>bar down there and we would all go to the

0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:31.520
<v Speaker 1>bar and then it would put us on the television. Yes, yeah,

0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:33.120
<v Speaker 1>because we'd come on at like two in the morning

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and they want to leave the bar open and we

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:37.800
<v Speaker 1>would sit there and we would watch with the fans,

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, and they would buy us drinks and we

0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:44.080
<v Speaker 1>would just out. And I think to this day that's

0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:47.279
<v Speaker 1>part of the reason why, like so many fans say

0:35:47.320 --> 0:35:49.880
<v Speaker 1>to me all the time, like your locker room was

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the friendliest locker room ever, because you didn't treat us

0:35:54.239 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 1>like marks. You treated us like people, and you let us.

0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't want to say, well it was basically

0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:03.839
<v Speaker 1>because you were buying the boys beer. I didn't say that,

0:36:04.239 --> 0:36:07.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's true, Like I enjoyed. They were nice and

0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:10.520
<v Speaker 1>friendly and they weren't too persistent, and we would just

0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:12.320
<v Speaker 1>sit there and we would hang out for a while

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and they were fun, you know, and it was a

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:18.040
<v Speaker 1>good time, and to this day, they always say ECW

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:21.800
<v Speaker 1>was so you guys were approachable and you were pleasant

0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:23.799
<v Speaker 1>to be around. You weren't like, get out of here,

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.640
<v Speaker 1>you stupid mark, you know, because some people didn't want

0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to be bothered. You know, we're backed up as we were, like, hey,

0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:34.240
<v Speaker 1>come on in the morning, like twenty thirty of us

0:36:34.480 --> 0:36:38.360
<v Speaker 1>two o'clock in the morning. And I could go on

0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and on. There were so many memories that I have

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:45.520
<v Speaker 1>of just hanging out and like you and I I

0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>said this on your show too, Like you and I

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:52.840
<v Speaker 1>clicked from the beginning, and we were really close, you know,

0:36:53.080 --> 0:36:55.279
<v Speaker 1>like we talked in and out of the ring. And

0:36:55.320 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I was heartbroken when you left. But I understood why, right,

0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:03.520
<v Speaker 1>some people had animosity when guys would leave, you know,

0:37:03.560 --> 0:37:05.720
<v Speaker 1>because I was. I stayed there till the ship sunk.

0:37:06.000 --> 0:37:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to let go. I was just fighting

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:12.319
<v Speaker 1>to survive, you know. And I would tell them, like,

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:16.160
<v Speaker 1>these people they have families, Like they're being offered so

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:20.240
<v Speaker 1>much more money. I get it. They're not abandoning us,

0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:23.000
<v Speaker 1>They're doing it for their families. Yeah, and you know

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 1>it really, you know, it really helped me a lot,

0:37:28.320 --> 0:37:30.920
<v Speaker 1>because you know it hurt me, but it helped me

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:33.480
<v Speaker 1>because I tell you what, you know, we were making

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:36.399
<v Speaker 1>very good money. You know, the last two maybe three

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:39.160
<v Speaker 1>years off VCW really was it was really a good time.

0:37:39.800 --> 0:37:42.480
<v Speaker 1>And now all of a sudden you go to WWE

0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and that purse is even bigger, and now you'll be

0:37:46.160 --> 0:37:48.439
<v Speaker 1>able to buy things that you never thought you would

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:51.480
<v Speaker 1>dream about buying going there. Listen, the minute I got

0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:56.600
<v Speaker 1>my the minute I got my very two paychecks, I

0:37:56.640 --> 0:38:02.360
<v Speaker 1>went out and bought escalade. And at this time, Bubba

0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:06.879
<v Speaker 1>lived in Long Island still at the time, and our

0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:09.400
<v Speaker 1>first show that we went to, god we was our

0:38:09.400 --> 0:38:12.240
<v Speaker 1>first show. I think it was somewhere at Wooster Wooster,

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:16.960
<v Speaker 1>mass Oh yeah. And so he goes Devon, I'll meet

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you at your house, and you know, you mind driving

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 1>up there. I was like, no, I'll drive. So we're

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:24.160
<v Speaker 1>driving up there. I got the escalator. Now, remember back then,

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you didn't tell what you made or even wanted it,

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:30.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, like like athletes do today. They you know

0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:32.200
<v Speaker 1>they got to do with the rings. They get the

0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:34.480
<v Speaker 1>cars and the house. Did you get heat for it?

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 1>You get a heat for it? You get the actually

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:38.480
<v Speaker 1>heat for it. So when we got to the building.

0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.040
<v Speaker 1>The first person I saw was road Dog when I

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:45.480
<v Speaker 1>pulled up, and I went, oh ship and yeah, I

0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:47.560
<v Speaker 1>told him. I told him was my father's car. I

0:38:47.600 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 1>told my father's escalated. He goes no. And then we

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:53.520
<v Speaker 1>saw JR. Jr. You know, at the time, Jay always

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:55.480
<v Speaker 1>head of talent relations, so he was the one that

0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:57.880
<v Speaker 1>was paying you. So he come up. God damn boys.

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:00.399
<v Speaker 1>He was like, he's like, good job. He's like, look

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:02.439
<v Speaker 1>at that. That's a nice escalator. And I went, yeah,

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:04.320
<v Speaker 1>that's my dad's escalator. I brought it from me and

0:39:04.400 --> 0:39:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Bubba came up, lie in my ass. And then when

0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I told road Dog that, road Dog went yeah right.

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:14.680
<v Speaker 1>So it was It was funny because two months later,

0:39:14.760 --> 0:39:17.319
<v Speaker 1>road Dog was still teasing me about to escalate. So

0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>he said, Devon, you know, I'm just pulling your leg.

0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:20.879
<v Speaker 1>He was like, I just bought me an escalate too.

0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I said, you son of a bitch. You have to

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:27.200
<v Speaker 1>feel that way. You worked hard for that money. Yeah

0:39:27.239 --> 0:39:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you can buy It's not like you were being a

0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:31.880
<v Speaker 1>dick about it. And you know you're not wearing the

0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:33.719
<v Speaker 1>pin that said hey I'm rich. I just bought an

0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 1>escalator your car. You drove it to the arena, well

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:40.719
<v Speaker 1>what we used to do exactly. That's what I saw that. Now,

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:43.719
<v Speaker 1>if I came in in like a camera told you

0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the camera to be like, oh okay, you know, no problem.

0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:48.120
<v Speaker 1>But I came in to escalate. So now everybody's like,

0:39:48.120 --> 0:39:55.440
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck? Escalat escalate business. And then and then

0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I remember Bubba and I after about I think we

0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:00.920
<v Speaker 1>went to Madison Square Garden. We were doing our first

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 1>garden show and we were we were it was me,

0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Bubba and the Rock versus d X. It was Hunter,

0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:13.040
<v Speaker 1>road Dog and X POC and he goes, I'll meet

0:40:13.080 --> 0:40:14.560
<v Speaker 1>to at your house again. I was like, all right, cool.

0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:16.080
<v Speaker 1>He was like, what happens if you roll up and

0:40:16.080 --> 0:40:18.880
<v Speaker 1>they see it. I'm like, look, we're headlining main event

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Madison Square Garden with the Rock in Triple H. I said,

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:23.799
<v Speaker 1>you think I give a damn? I said, right now,

0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm living a dream. This is my car. It's not

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:30.399
<v Speaker 1>my daddy's car exactly. He just started laughing. He's right,

0:40:31.200 --> 0:40:34.719
<v Speaker 1>you're right. Actually, yeah, at that point you can you

0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 1>can buy whatever you want. Yeah, so you know, I

0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:39.200
<v Speaker 1>mean it was fun times like that that, you know,

0:40:39.280 --> 0:40:41.839
<v Speaker 1>I do missed terribly and you know when people ask

0:40:41.880 --> 0:40:43.919
<v Speaker 1>me all the time, do you still speak to Bubba? Yeah,

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:45.840
<v Speaker 1>we speak, but not as often as we used to go.

0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:48.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, he has his life too. He's living in Connecticut.

0:40:48.400 --> 0:40:51.279
<v Speaker 1>He has his podcast and his radio show and all

0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of that, and he's got the school up there, and

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I've got mine over here. I got a detailing business

0:40:55.480 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 1>in Fort Lauderdale as well. I'm doing that. So between

0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:03.440
<v Speaker 1>me being reverend, the detailing business, eighty seven kids in

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:06.960
<v Speaker 1>eighty seven jobs. Listen, I did exactly what the Bible

0:41:07.040 --> 0:41:10.400
<v Speaker 1>told me to do. Okay, be merry, fruitful, and multiply.

0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:12.879
<v Speaker 1>And that's exactly what I did because I figured this way,

0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 1>if I put one of them little basins in time

0:41:15.239 --> 0:41:17.759
<v Speaker 1>out or on punishment, they're gonna turn on me. So

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:19.799
<v Speaker 1>one of them is bound to understand what I did

0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and take care of me when my my ass get old. Listen,

0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:25.560
<v Speaker 1>you're a good father, and that's the most important thing, right.

0:41:25.800 --> 0:41:27.400
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter if you have one hundred kids, you

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:30.200
<v Speaker 1>take care of a hundred kids. You're I ain't never

0:41:30.239 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 1>asked for no help from nobody, that's right. And you're

0:41:33.560 --> 0:41:36.600
<v Speaker 1>twins who I haven't seen since they were little, and

0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, they used to be scared of

0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 1>me for what reason, I don't even know. Listen, they

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:43.640
<v Speaker 1>were scared of Mickey Mouse, Okay, at Disney World. So

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.120
<v Speaker 1>there you go. That tells you right there about I'm

0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:51.200
<v Speaker 1>such a sweet person. Yeah, so is Mickey. They're working,

0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:54.920
<v Speaker 1>they're workers now. Yeah. And I was not happy about

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:58.440
<v Speaker 1>it at all. I was totally against it because I

0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:01.120
<v Speaker 1>knew how hard it was when I came up in

0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the buildings and how some people talk to you and

0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:07.319
<v Speaker 1>treat you promoter wise. And I didn't want that for them,

0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:10.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, because I know, as protective as I was

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and still am, I would flip out if somebody talk

0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to my kids the way you know, I got talked to, right,

0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:19.480
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, I didn't want to do it,

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:21.959
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I remember having conversations with the Rock

0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:24.719
<v Speaker 1>one time we would because the Rock and Bubba and

0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I used to drive together, and he said, dvar, He said,

0:42:28.680 --> 0:42:31.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, my father wasn't happy with me doing it either,

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and because he said the same thing about with his

0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:38.000
<v Speaker 1>father how he felt about the business, and he said,

0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:40.799
<v Speaker 1>you know if if I me and my father had

0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 1>many blowouts about it. Finally he gave in and then

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:46.879
<v Speaker 1>he decided to you know, teach me, he goes. If

0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:49.360
<v Speaker 1>he didn't give in and decided to give me his blessing,

0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I would have never been to rock. I would have

0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 1>never been who I am. And he's right. So I said,

0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what I said, you never know. If it's

0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 1>if God wants them to be there, they'll be there.

0:42:59.040 --> 0:43:01.719
<v Speaker 1>If he doesn't. Do they have the bug? Now they

0:43:01.719 --> 0:43:03.719
<v Speaker 1>have they've been. Let me tell you something. They had

0:43:03.760 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the bug at WrestleMania's seventeen when we did the TLC match.

0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:09.960
<v Speaker 1>That's where it all started, you know, because you gotta understand,

0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:12.160
<v Speaker 1>they grew up. They grew up. They were with me

0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:15.080
<v Speaker 1>in e C. Wright, they were there with all the matches.

0:43:15.120 --> 0:43:17.319
<v Speaker 1>They were there watching Sandman drink a case of beer

0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:22.160
<v Speaker 1>before he goes out, and yo, you know, they were

0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:24.359
<v Speaker 1>there doing the whole thing. And so now you get

0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:26.719
<v Speaker 1>to WWE. Now you see the glitz and the glamour

0:43:27.040 --> 0:43:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and all of that, and then the fans waiting outside

0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:32.759
<v Speaker 1>at the hotel and you know, autographs and this and that,

0:43:33.080 --> 0:43:36.279
<v Speaker 1>and now they're like they're like what six seven years old.

0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:38.400
<v Speaker 1>They're like, oh my god, you know, my dad is

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:40.920
<v Speaker 1>somebody see maybe you should have just showed them the

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:43.480
<v Speaker 1>travel lodge and they would have been like, no, I

0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:46.920
<v Speaker 1>cannot do this. Listen. I tried. I even tried to

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:49.000
<v Speaker 1>show pictures of the travel lodge and they were like, Nope,

0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:50.440
<v Speaker 1>we ain't buying it because you just put us in

0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>this five star hotel, so we're not buying it. We're

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:56.160
<v Speaker 1>not buying it at all. Oh my god. So they're

0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 1>working indies, they're working well yeah, and then they're in

0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a w right now doing this stuff over there. So

0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm very happy for it. And people say, well, why

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:06.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't they go to w W. I tell them, and

0:44:06.239 --> 0:44:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I tell them. I tell people all the time. I'm like,

0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:12.279
<v Speaker 1>it's like Dusty Rose with Dustin. You know when when

0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Dusty was in the w c W slash n w A,

0:44:16.320 --> 0:44:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Dustin was there. But then Dustin needed his own identity

0:44:19.600 --> 0:44:22.200
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to being Dusty Rose's son, the son of

0:44:22.239 --> 0:44:25.239
<v Speaker 1>the plumber. So he had to go out there and

0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:28.200
<v Speaker 1>create you know, gold dust, his own persona. But he

0:44:28.239 --> 0:44:29.680
<v Speaker 1>had to do it on his own terms. And that's

0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:31.879
<v Speaker 1>what the that's what the twins wanted to do. They

0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:34.040
<v Speaker 1>wanted they didn't want Dad's help or nothing like that.

0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 1>And they just want to go out there and do that.

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.600
<v Speaker 1>And I, you know, I told him, I said, that's cool.

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I said, listen, I said, you're on your own. I said,

0:44:40.719 --> 0:44:43.160
<v Speaker 1>you do what you gotta do. I was like, and

0:44:43.280 --> 0:44:45.919
<v Speaker 1>you make your decisions. If you fall, then you fall.

0:44:46.040 --> 0:44:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Learn how to pick yourself back up. But if you

0:44:48.040 --> 0:44:50.799
<v Speaker 1>need me because you fell too hard, then come see me.

0:44:51.040 --> 0:44:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I love it and each other, which is each other. Yeah,

0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:58.320
<v Speaker 1>you know you and you and I weren't second generation wrestlers,

0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:01.560
<v Speaker 1>so we didn't have anybody made mistakes to help us.

0:45:01.880 --> 0:45:04.839
<v Speaker 1>We had to deal with the mistakes and live with it. Yeah,

0:45:05.040 --> 0:45:08.759
<v Speaker 1>you know. So they have a support system which is phenomenal,

0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:11.799
<v Speaker 1>and I'm proud of them, you know, So let them

0:45:11.800 --> 0:45:13.239
<v Speaker 1>go out there and do their own thing. Don't have

0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to live in daddy shadows. What I do like is

0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:17.200
<v Speaker 1>though they do pay homage to me and Bubba, and

0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:19.040
<v Speaker 1>they do hit us, they do hit the three DS,

0:45:19.120 --> 0:45:21.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm happy about that, and I think they do

0:45:22.000 --> 0:45:26.279
<v Speaker 1>it better than me and Bubba. I never got to

0:45:26.320 --> 0:45:29.279
<v Speaker 1>take that, and you know I would have. Oh, I

0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:30.719
<v Speaker 1>know you would have. But it was a good thing

0:45:30.760 --> 0:45:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you didn't, because you know, Bubba, sometimes you know he

0:45:33.040 --> 0:45:34.920
<v Speaker 1>would want to hook you and then grab you and

0:45:34.960 --> 0:45:36.480
<v Speaker 1>really bring you down to the mat, and you know

0:45:36.520 --> 0:45:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what that's what he did to some people. So

0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:40.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, and being at you and I were such good,

0:45:40.640 --> 0:45:42.440
<v Speaker 1>so good with each other. I'll be like, no, Bubba,

0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:47.160
<v Speaker 1>leave alone, Stime, don't do that. No, I gotta throw

0:45:47.160 --> 0:45:49.080
<v Speaker 1>this in now, just that before we move on. I

0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:51.760
<v Speaker 1>got to ask this because I've never had a member

0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:54.640
<v Speaker 1>of the Triple Threat, a member of the Dudleys. So

0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>when I do this, what do I What am I

0:45:57.600 --> 0:46:05.279
<v Speaker 1>doing here? Devon, you're doing three D Well, I don't

0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:08.799
<v Speaker 1>know about that. Well, I don't know. We can share it.

0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I better say, we're on Francine show, so we got

0:46:11.040 --> 0:46:16.640
<v Speaker 1>to share it and give it. Favorite e c W memory.

0:46:16.800 --> 0:46:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you have one? I mean, I know there's so many,

0:46:20.239 --> 0:46:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and I know I'm involved in some day. Oh absolutely.

0:46:26.480 --> 0:46:29.319
<v Speaker 1>Like the one I have is like we talked about

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:31.800
<v Speaker 1>my podcast. When I first came in my my first

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 1>match in e c W uh at the e c

0:46:34.200 --> 0:46:36.920
<v Speaker 1>W Arena, I should say, where you were with the

0:46:36.960 --> 0:46:40.120
<v Speaker 1>pit bulls and you were messing with dancing with Dudley's

0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:42.239
<v Speaker 1>and I jumped out the ring. I said bitch, you

0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:47.880
<v Speaker 1>messing with my brother. I don't understand this story because

0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I told you my first meeting with Paul he made

0:46:50.000 --> 0:46:52.319
<v Speaker 1>me take a choke slam that I didn't even know

0:46:52.760 --> 0:46:55.120
<v Speaker 1>what a choke slam was. Then you tell me the

0:46:55.160 --> 0:46:58.440
<v Speaker 1>other day paul says, do you don't touch her? She's

0:46:58.640 --> 0:47:03.719
<v Speaker 1>she can't bump or she she should n't pump, right, Ye,

0:47:05.280 --> 0:47:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess it wasn't the right time because we we

0:47:08.040 --> 0:47:09.839
<v Speaker 1>did see you go through a table at one point,

0:47:09.880 --> 0:47:12.640
<v Speaker 1>so it wasn't like a pump, So I guess it

0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:15.160
<v Speaker 1>was at that time, you know, not good to touch

0:47:15.200 --> 0:47:17.840
<v Speaker 1>it because what we had going on, because if I

0:47:17.920 --> 0:47:19.439
<v Speaker 1>was to touch you, they would have had to really

0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:22.400
<v Speaker 1>destroy me, and Paulie was just starting to push me,

0:47:22.920 --> 0:47:25.200
<v Speaker 1>so they didn't want that. So now that makes sense.

0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:28.400
<v Speaker 1>So that was a fond memory of mine. And another

0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:30.440
<v Speaker 1>one was when we put balls Mahoney to the table

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:33.279
<v Speaker 1>in Detroit. But what what stood out on that was

0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:36.480
<v Speaker 1>me and Bubba came out excided the crowd like we

0:47:36.560 --> 0:47:39.399
<v Speaker 1>normally do, and we actually got into a fist fight

0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:44.640
<v Speaker 1>with fans in the front row, and yeah, Bubba got

0:47:44.640 --> 0:47:45.880
<v Speaker 1>a little too close and one of them took a

0:47:45.880 --> 0:47:48.120
<v Speaker 1>swipe at him. So you know, now Bubba goes after them,

0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:49.640
<v Speaker 1>and now the other people are trying to jump on Bubba.

0:47:49.719 --> 0:47:52.839
<v Speaker 1>So therefore I got to jump on them. And at

0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:55.919
<v Speaker 1>the security came over and they started trying to break

0:47:55.920 --> 0:47:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it up. They're like, Devon stopped this. I was like,

0:47:58.080 --> 0:48:02.560
<v Speaker 1>hell no, I said, this is good ratings. And you know,

0:48:02.680 --> 0:48:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and the great thing about it was the explosion when

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:10.080
<v Speaker 1>we put balls mahoney through that flaming table was tremendous.

0:48:10.280 --> 0:48:13.440
<v Speaker 1>And then we get to the back and Paulie goes, hey, listen,

0:48:13.680 --> 0:48:15.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, listen, you know those guys you got into

0:48:15.160 --> 0:48:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the argument went of the fight. Yeah, they're in the back.

0:48:17.760 --> 0:48:19.840
<v Speaker 1>And we thought we were like, oh they want to fight. Okay,

0:48:19.840 --> 0:48:21.400
<v Speaker 1>here we go, so we're ready to go back. They

0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:23.080
<v Speaker 1>said no, no no, no, no, no no, they just they were

0:48:23.120 --> 0:48:25.600
<v Speaker 1>they were they were super hyped about it. They loved it.

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:28.040
<v Speaker 1>They thought it was great. And we were like, all right,

0:48:28.080 --> 0:48:29.919
<v Speaker 1>and we went back there and we were like, hey, guys.

0:48:29.960 --> 0:48:32.600
<v Speaker 1>They was like, man, that was great, you guys, that

0:48:32.719 --> 0:48:34.360
<v Speaker 1>was great because it was part of the show. They

0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:41.160
<v Speaker 1>were part to bring them. You know what, everybody who

0:48:41.160 --> 0:48:43.719
<v Speaker 1>got in a fight we would bring to the back

0:48:43.760 --> 0:48:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and give them T shirts and then we'd have to

0:48:46.160 --> 0:48:47.560
<v Speaker 1>go up to them and talk to them, so we

0:48:47.600 --> 0:48:50.920
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't get yes, we get sued. Oh god. And at

0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:52.800
<v Speaker 1>that point I wasn't making enough money for them to

0:48:52.840 --> 0:48:55.239
<v Speaker 1>assue me, so I'd be broke as hell right now,

0:48:55.280 --> 0:49:00.000
<v Speaker 1>still paying for that exactly. Oh my gosh. Well I again,

0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:04.479

<v Speaker 1>keep it low. The doctor said, I'm doing great, and

0:52:45.440 --> 0:52:48.279
<v Speaker 1>that remarkable recovery, just because of the shape that I

0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:51.320
<v Speaker 1>was in, you know, after being wrestling for so many years,

0:52:51.320 --> 0:52:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and luckily it came like not luckily, but no, it

0:52:54.160 --> 0:52:55.759
<v Speaker 1>is luckily because if I would have did it when

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I was out of shape, or would have you forget

0:52:57.400 --> 0:52:59.760

<v Speaker 1>heard it when he interviewed you. Yeah, I'm like, and

0:55:48.520 --> 0:55:51.440

0:56:11.440 --> 0:56:14.080
<v Speaker 1>throughout you know what I mean, Like, he's just been

0:56:14.120 --> 0:56:17.920
<v Speaker 1>a it's just a good friend. One of my favorite

0:56:17.920 --> 0:56:20.319
<v Speaker 1>things whenever we have somebody from me cwe and when

0:56:20.320 --> 0:56:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you talk about that connection that you had with them,

0:56:23.160 --> 0:56:26.239
<v Speaker 1>you see the people that gravitated to one another have

0:56:26.719 --> 0:56:30.200
<v Speaker 1>that kind of same you know that they would have

0:56:30.320 --> 0:56:34.640
<v Speaker 1>pad something like that. Yeah, it's there and it was

0:56:34.680 --> 0:56:38.680
<v Speaker 1>that night. It was the Terry Funk retirement and I

0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:42.160
<v Speaker 1>said it before. It was myself and Shane and the Dudleys.

0:56:42.200 --> 0:56:44.400
<v Speaker 1>We were not invited. We were told do not come

0:56:44.520 --> 0:56:46.480
<v Speaker 1>because we were I guess we were the top heels

0:56:46.880 --> 0:56:48.680
<v Speaker 1>in the company. We weren't allowed to be there, and

0:56:48.680 --> 0:56:51.040
<v Speaker 1>we had our feud with Terry, you know. And I

0:56:51.080 --> 0:56:54.239
<v Speaker 1>don't know where Shane went that night, but Bubba and

0:56:54.320 --> 0:56:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Defont said come with us, and I said, all right.

0:56:57.160 --> 0:57:00.440
<v Speaker 1>We went to bar A. We lost Bubba, but Devon

0:57:00.520 --> 0:57:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and I were stuck like glue together because we didn't

0:57:02.680 --> 0:57:06.000
<v Speaker 1>know his soul and we just danced for hours and

0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:08.600
<v Speaker 1>it was just so fun and I really got to

0:57:08.640 --> 0:57:11.680
<v Speaker 1>know him as a person and then we just became buds.

0:57:11.880 --> 0:57:14.279
<v Speaker 1>You know. I love that. That's so bad. He's just

0:57:14.320 --> 0:57:18.200
<v Speaker 1>an amazing, amazing story and dellic and that should show

0:57:18.240 --> 0:57:21.120
<v Speaker 1>you that's the stress that working in the WW can

0:57:21.120 --> 0:57:23.840
<v Speaker 1>put on people or in general. But I can I

0:57:23.880 --> 0:57:26.000
<v Speaker 1>know what he's talking about. You know. It's it's a

0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:30.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of pressure on those production and the television from

0:57:30.400 --> 0:57:33.120
<v Speaker 1>that side of things. And I mean, he's he's a

0:57:33.280 --> 0:57:37.400
<v Speaker 1>walking advertisement for Faith right there, because he looks great,

0:57:37.440 --> 0:57:39.080
<v Speaker 1>he sounds great, and he seems like he's on a

0:57:39.080 --> 0:57:41.840
<v Speaker 1>great road to recovery. Yeah, I'm very proud of him,

0:57:41.880 --> 0:57:45.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'm very happy for where he ended up. So,

0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:48.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, good people should get good things in life,

0:57:48.760 --> 0:57:51.160
<v Speaker 1>and he's definitely one of them. So all right, now

0:57:51.200 --> 0:57:53.760
<v Speaker 1>that he's kind, if I throw this up, what is it?

0:57:56.440 --> 0:57:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Get out of here, divon with your Dudley's we could

0:57:59.720 --> 0:58:03.800
<v Speaker 1>share because it's your show. Yeah yeah, but that was

0:58:03.840 --> 0:58:09.600
<v Speaker 1>great now, I really very fine. Yep, so what you got,

0:58:09.640 --> 0:58:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you got it? You know, we ate up almost a

0:58:12.200 --> 0:58:15.720
<v Speaker 1>whole hour with great longer. But I was watching the time.

0:58:15.800 --> 0:58:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, we got eighty seven sponsors. We have

0:58:19.160 --> 0:58:21.440
<v Speaker 1>we have other yes, we have other business to attend

0:58:21.440 --> 0:58:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to h O Patreon. Do we know what? Yeah, I

0:58:25.640 --> 0:58:27.320
<v Speaker 1>just I'll say you heard it. You know at the

0:58:27.360 --> 0:58:29.920
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the episode of The Post the other Day,

0:58:29.960 --> 0:58:33.800
<v Speaker 1>this episode was actually sponsored by Draft Kings Draft I

0:58:33.920 --> 0:58:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Love Draftings opped in for their WrestleMania promo. But I

0:58:37.480 --> 0:58:40.480
<v Speaker 1>already went over all the details for that, so you don't. Yeah,

0:58:40.720 --> 0:58:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I already read everything. We have used Draft Kings, Oh

0:58:44.800 --> 0:58:48.760
<v Speaker 1>not me, my husband, but he loved it. Loves it,

0:58:49.120 --> 0:58:51.720
<v Speaker 1>so uh and there you go. Yeah, you could bet

0:58:51.760 --> 0:58:55.160
<v Speaker 1>on on wrestling now unbeknownst to a lot of people.

0:58:55.240 --> 0:58:57.880
<v Speaker 1>So it's, uh, it's all good. But yeah, we'll go

0:58:57.920 --> 0:59:00.400
<v Speaker 1>over Patreon. And it's funny that we had to doubly

0:59:00.520 --> 0:59:04.920
<v Speaker 1>on because I went this a coincidence, now just purely

0:59:04.960 --> 0:59:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a coincidence. So I was looking for something I just

0:59:07.680 --> 0:59:11.360
<v Speaker 1>couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. The clip

0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that you were talking Devon was talking about on his

0:59:14.320 --> 0:59:16.560
<v Speaker 1>show and he was talking about here. I was finding it,

0:59:16.600 --> 0:59:19.040
<v Speaker 1>but it was in short form. So we're gonna go

0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:21.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit deeper because on his podcast he was

0:59:21.480 --> 0:59:26.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about the WWEE CW revival and how everything that

0:59:26.800 --> 0:59:28.560
<v Speaker 1>was going on behind the scenes with that. So this

0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:30.320
<v Speaker 1>is what we're gonna watch. You pop in at the

0:59:30.400 --> 0:59:32.320
<v Speaker 1>end of it, but we're gonna watch Dreamer and Sam

0:59:32.320 --> 0:59:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and versus the Dudley's from One night Stand. Now you

0:59:34.920 --> 0:59:36.920
<v Speaker 1>have a great spot in it that we're gonna build to.

0:59:37.120 --> 0:59:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh right, right, right, I know what this is. Yes,

0:59:39.400 --> 0:59:41.479
<v Speaker 1>So this is the main event of One night Stand

0:59:41.560 --> 0:59:45.960
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and five, and uh, it's just hearing what

0:59:46.000 --> 0:59:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Devon had to say about everybody coming in and all that.

0:59:48.680 --> 0:59:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I just I found it remarkable. So that's why we'll

0:59:51.160 --> 0:59:53.320
<v Speaker 1>be watching that this week. It's a little a little long.

0:59:53.600 --> 0:59:56.480
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to sit through some uh some some

0:59:56.600 --> 0:59:58.720
<v Speaker 1>talking for a few minutes to get to the action,

1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:02.200
<v Speaker 1>but nonetheless that's going to be the watch along. So

1:00:02.240 --> 1:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>we'll work backwards on Wednesday. This is what we have

1:00:06.320 --> 1:00:11.520
<v Speaker 1>two really interesting side topics here, things that will likely

1:00:11.640 --> 1:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>disappear in the next twenty years. Well, let's one of

1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>them is wearing a mask. I think this list might

1:00:19.680 --> 1:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>have been compiled before the masks okay, but hopefully that'll

1:00:24.000 --> 1:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>be gone by next year. But this is fascinating. As

1:00:27.760 --> 1:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>we run down the list of some of the stuff,

1:00:29.560 --> 1:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're going to say, how are we going

1:00:31.960 --> 1:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to live without this? And I just thought this was

1:00:35.840 --> 1:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>very interesting. But then how about this one. We're going

1:00:37.760 --> 1:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to kick off our extras for the week with fifteen

1:00:40.680 --> 1:00:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of the hardest would you rather questions? Like maybe ever?

1:00:45.200 --> 1:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Because that's what the neighbors are. Wow, the name of

1:00:48.160 --> 1:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the artile, but they are of the sexual nature. Oh

1:00:52.760 --> 1:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>so they're a little saucy. Okay, Well, saucy is my

1:00:55.760 --> 1:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>middle name. So let's get it going. I thought your

1:00:57.920 --> 1:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>middle name was Jonie. I really don't have a middle name. Okay,

1:01:01.800 --> 1:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I asked my mother, why didn't I have a middle name? Scouse,

1:01:04.000 --> 1:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know no middle name of my birth certificate,

1:01:07.880 --> 1:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>no middle name. I thought danger was your middle name. Yeah,

1:01:11.920 --> 1:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that is my middle name. I thought Joni was the

1:01:14.960 --> 1:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>first female name that in my head. No, no middle

1:01:19.120 --> 1:01:22.960
<v Speaker 1>name for me. Oh my Goshreme extreme my middle name.

1:01:23.240 --> 1:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I should have said that. Why did I go for extreme?

1:01:25.320 --> 1:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I said, you're not as smart as me. That's why

1:01:27.640 --> 1:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you're so you're the queen. I'm just a peasant. But yeah,

1:01:31.960 --> 1:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean anything else for me? It's at Chad, E

1:01:34.200 --> 1:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and B. On Twitter and Instagram. I posted the Herbie

1:01:39.360 --> 1:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>picture I took at my hotel in Disney World, and

1:01:42.480 --> 1:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the Herbie account liked it on Instagram. So I did

1:01:45.640 --> 1:01:49.479
<v Speaker 1>something right on Instagram for once. Interesting. Okay, well that's

1:01:49.520 --> 1:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>fun place when you get acknowledged by a company. Yeah, Skittles.

1:01:54.600 --> 1:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>When they acknowledged me, and then I told them to

1:01:57.000 --> 1:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>ship me some so I could do a review, and

1:01:59.120 --> 1:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>they stopped answering, and I was like, okay, Skittle's onto you,

1:02:02.280 --> 1:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>which I jumped on into that one too. I was like, yeah,

1:02:04.360 --> 1:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>we should do a Skittle's taste test. Yeah, that's when

1:02:07.480 --> 1:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I said, oh, Skittle should send us the product, and

1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Skittle's ghosted us. Right and ibeexclusive dot com. You can

1:02:16.280 --> 1:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>get the perfectly rated T shirt on there, which I well,

1:02:20.760 --> 1:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>it goes to shirts just still sell and I have

1:02:22.760 --> 1:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>to pick up the second round later today from the

<v Speaker 1>screen printer, so that's where your shirt will be coming

1:02:29.920 --> 1:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>from when I get the second batch so perfect. I yes,

<v Speaker 1>you will be seeing them a little bit more often,

1:02:35.760 --> 1:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I think in some some interesting places, so shall see.

1:02:39.720 --> 1:02:42.160
