WEBVTT - Argument / Mania postscript 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:21.000 I gotta let it settle in for a second there. 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.560 All right, let's get it going right here right now. 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.520 This is Eyes up Here, and you're listening to an 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.160 all new Eyes up Here on the Creative Control Network. 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:33.920 If you didn't know by now, my name is Chad 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.120 and every single week I'm joined here by the one 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:43.280 and only Queen of Extreme France. Scene hand picked music 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:48.800 this week that we may continue using this synthesizing, tantalizing 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:54.520 version of the classic Harry slash tune. This is extreme 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:59.200 has like a very the what's that one? Like Frankie 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:04.200 Goes to Hollywood? Would relax? I did? I did expect 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.360 to hear it in John Hughes film, Yeah, something like 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.680 that playing in the background. But yeah, I use this 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:15.160 for our YouTube outro, and uh, I love the vibe 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.880 that it's got, So this one might be hanging around 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.080 for a little while. I like it. I think this 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.480 is the best one yet, so you know, hopefully we 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.959 can use it. It's fine, Well, it's here, it's here 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.280 for a little while. It's here to stay, man, So 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.600 how you doing. What's going on with you? I'm good, 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.560 just getting ready, you know, getting my ducks in a 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.400 row for this weekend. I'm gonna be going for four days. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.800 It's a long one, but Squared Circle expos coming up. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:46.279 So just trying to get everything ready before the trip 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:51.360 on Thursday. And you know, I didn't realize when I 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.480 booked it that it was Easter Sunday that I get 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:58.440 home late. Oh wow, yeah, that's right. Yeah. So uh, 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.400 I'm gonna have to out tomorrow and get all the 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.160 Easter candy and stuff and then make the basket before 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.480 I leave and hide them because I won't be here 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.760 when they wake up on a Sunday morning, so I 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.480 have to have it already. Hubs is going to have 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.520 to take pictures. Let me know what happened. That makes 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.520 me sad. I like to I like to see them 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.040 when they come down the steps. But you can hide 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.239 some eggs for Shane somewhere if you'd like. If you 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.320 want to see somebody do an egg hunt somewhere for Shane. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.480 Why is that right? Aren't you gonna be out with Shane? 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:38.440 You know the shame well him and Hack. There's a 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:42.079 bunch of ECW people there, go andam Rhino like, we're 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.760 all going to be there, So ECW egg hunt if 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.280 you want the feel of Easter morning egg hunt. Yeah, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.880 we'll see what happens. It's going to be a busy weekend. 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.320 There's a lot going on besides the two signings that 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.639 we have to do, so uh, just trying to mentally 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.920 get prepared, That's what I'm doing. Yeah, it seems like 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.560 it's a busy weekend. Good thing you don't have any 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.680 pets too, because if you hit it in advance, those 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.880 pets might find the goodies and go to town on 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.480 a chocolate egg or two. No, no, pets were so 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:19.440 allergic in this house. I would love, you know, some something, 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.520 some some kind of non human to be here, but 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.200 we just we all sneeze and it's not worth it. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.640 So we just don't have any pets. Kids are enough, 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:34.840 I think for now. For now, I don't I don't 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:39.040 have to go into detail anymore about my cat. Yeah, yes, 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.960 never thought i'd have it. But here we are, almost 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.680 what seven months later, on the air with you while 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:50.200 the kids are coming to me yarn? Do you have 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:56.560 any y yarn? That was so cute? Oh my gosh, 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.600 Well it was quite the last week or so since 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:04.040 we last recorded this show, we recorded a couple mini 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:08.640 shows for our YouTube experience that we've been expanding, which 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.760 is part of this new Eyes up Here expansion we've 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.720 been doing on YouTube. If you haven't heard it, we've 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:20.000 done some almost instant recordings that have been posted for 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.200 like breaking news and huge wrestling stories, and we're gonna 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.479 do some updates on during this broadcast that we're doing now. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:33.280 But as we're recording this, it's like the WrestleMania Weekend hangover. Now, 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.120 you were not in attendance for Wrestle Khan for those 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.000 that didn't hear it, so you were on the other 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.279 side of the country. Wrestle kN on the West coast, 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:46.760 you're on the East coast. WrestleMania Weekend featured drama. It 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.640 featured a lot of wrestling a lot, and it featured 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:58.080 a sale that finally happened. So much wrestling for what 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.560 seventy two hour period that where do we start. It 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.440 also featured a mustache, which we'll talk about. Oh, we're 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.440 talking about the goddamn mustache. That mustache. I'm obsessed with 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.520 the damn mustache. Oh, we got to start with the 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.560 with the sale. We have to start with the sale, 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.760 which I mean, you know, a lot of the tweets 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.400 that I've seen. People were like, I'm glad it wasn't Disney, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.800 and I'm glad it wasn't the saudiest, So they seem 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.880 to seem to be half and half from what I'm 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.480 reading some people. The biggest complaint I've seen about this sale, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.240 and we'll go into the details, but the biggest complaint 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.480 by the fans is that they feel that the Peacock 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:48.279 network is going to be done with and the prices 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:49.760 of pay per views are going to go back to 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.599 sixty dollars, which everybody is in an uproar about no 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:57.120 one wants to pay sixty dollars to watch, you know, 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.680 a wrestling pay per view these days. And that was 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.039 the biggest thing that I've seen out of this whole thing, 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.920 is people are upset about spending money more money on 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:12.200 the product possible. But I would also see maybe the 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.160 classic version of the WWE twenty four to seven model 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:20.919 come back versus the WWE network model of what we 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.599 knew the pay per view or the premium live event, 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.000 what we've been used to over the last five or 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.480 six years that people have their instant pay per views. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.960 I can see that going away because the endeavor conglomerate 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:39.320 in the UFC. They love making handover fist money on 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.240 that pay per view model that Vince McMahon is the 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:46.080 one that made famous. So yeah, I could absolutely see 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:51.599 that returning right Who knows it's again. It's like, I 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.400 think new details are going to come out slowly, just 0:06:55.560 --> 0:07:01.400 what this you know, buy out entails. But I think 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.200 we talked about it a little before. I think Vince 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.080 McMahon is supposed to make nine point three billion or 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.840 nine point four billion on the sale. So he purchased 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:18.440 it for one million dollars back in whatever date it was, 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:24.840 and so it's a profit of nine point two billion. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.320 I'd say that's pretty smart business if you ask me. Now, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.240 A lot of people are upset because they're saying, well, 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.880 it started with a McMahon, it should finish with a McMahon. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.200 It should be family owned, this, that and the other thing. 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:43.560 But look at that money, look at the money, and 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.960 he's what seventy seven Now, how much longer do you 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.800 think he could do something like this? And a lot 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.600 of people are saying, well, they should have handed it 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:56.200 down to the children. I don't know, maybe the kids 0:07:56.240 --> 0:08:01.200 don't want to be involved. Look at what happened to Shane. Yeah, 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.000 we'll get to that. We'll get to that. I mean, really, like, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.920 I don't know. I think it was a good business 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:13.280 move on Vince's part. Yeah, you know, I certainly would 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.520 have probably did the same thing, because then I could 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.640 take those billions of dollars and just give them them 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:23.400 my kids and they don't have to work so hard. Yeah. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.000 I don't think Vince had confidence in them to run 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.240 the business. That's why. Yeah, I think that's absolutely why 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.640 I think he tried. I think that obviously, when Stephanie 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:38.679 took over creative, there was an absolute drop in fan interests. 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.920 You know, there was a drop in the creative direction 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.720 of a lot of the stories. And that's kind of 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.160 when the doldrums started of fans going away, and it 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.319 was a lot of that Stephanie head of creative that 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.200 drove people out of watching wrestling. And he saw it. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.880 And that's when Shane also departed and wanted nothing to 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.840 do with wrestling, and I think he said, well, you 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.000 know what, this is where I'm just gonna be involved 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.240 with it and I'm never leaving. And that's where his 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.280 tyrannical rain went from being he was the the man 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.560 to he was the man. He was not going anywhere, 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.439 and that's where we got him up to this past 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.480 summer where he was yeah, well I you know again 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.920 jumping the gun a little bit after WrestleMania. The raw, 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.320 the Monday night raw afterwards is usually not the best show, 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:34.040 you know, in recent years we've seen like they just 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:35.960 I don't know, they dropped the ball on a lot 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:41.120 of things. And again in reading what happened on Monday, 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.520 learning that Vince McMahon, they're saying has creative control again 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.360 and they were saying it was such a lackluster show. 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.280 Now I didn't see it, of course, you know, I 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:58.040 didn't watch it, but the comments are just like he's 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.960 back and it sucks and it's horrible and I don't 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.120 want to watch it anymore and this that and the 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:11.480 other thing. You know, could this be the downfall with 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.280 him having the power again being you know, top dog 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:20.800 and creative like what happened to him just leaving and 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.800 not having to say we all knew that that was bs, 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.319 you know. But if now, if he is the end all, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:30.120 say all end all, you know, what happens to all 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.680 those people that were rehired? We said, it before. Are 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.760 they going to get fired again? Are they on their 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.920 way out? Are they going to have a big meeting? 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.480 Is there going to be another massive layoff? I don't 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:45.240 know so yeah, but I'll will direct people to our 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.240 video on the YouTube channel where we talk about the 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.719 Bella Twins when they departed, and that was what did 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.880 I say? Certain people that were not getting the same 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.000 push that they were when Vince McMahon was in charge. 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.640 And I don't know if you saw how Raw ended 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:07.800 last night, but Rock Lesner, oh, he destroyed Cody, destroyed 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.880 Cody Roads or what I say. Under the Triple H regime, 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.760 Brock Lesner was not looking so strong. And now obviously, 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.199 you know a spoiler we'll talk about a little bit. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.920 Brock is obviously now going to be positioned to put 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.920 Cody Roads over and make Cody Roads look triple as 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.920 a big at star as he you know, was coming in. 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.240 But Rock not looking great under the Triple H regime. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.559 And if Vince is back in charge, Brock just looked 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:39.800 like a gigantic mega heel with Vince with the pen 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:43.000 in his hand. Again, are you saying, going back to 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.600 your first comment, are you saying that if the Bella 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:50.800 is held on for just maybe a month. Yeah, they 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.000 could have emerged again. Well, I think that they would 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:55.760 have been in better hands. I think they would have 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.559 either a re signed because they were not going to 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.480 be active. They were still going to be, you know, 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.480 not a television product. Still, I think they would have 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.600 still been under the Legends deal, but they would have 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:10.520 been utilized when returned for these Legends appearances or WrestleMania Weekend. 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.840 I think under the Triple H regime they were not 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.839 and had they held on for this extra month, they 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.400 would have probably been maybe utilized. But this maybe is 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:25.200 them not being as into the business as others are, right, 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.000 you know, and we know it's weird. They don't need it, 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.200 but it's weird though. I mean, Breeze married to Brian Danielson. 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.080 You gotta think Danielson's tapped in, So maybe she just 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:37.400 doesn't care. I don't know. I feel like if they 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.040 wanted to do something, aw would have been right there 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.840 and they could have been on TV the next day. Yeah. 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.800 So it just tells me that they are preoccupied with 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.400 family and their forty two other business ventures that are 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.920 out there. But this is this is huge and to 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.640 me This is the right hands for this company to 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.800 be sold to. This is the best scenario if you 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.199 are a wrestling fan. This is only going to and 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.960 for me as a lapsed wrestling fan, make it a 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:12.520 stronger product because they're gonna bring it. I feel they're 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.560 gonna bring it back a little bit more to the 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:19.240 traditional style of what we're used to because they're gonna 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:23.480 have a greater influence. Here's a thought that I just had. 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.040 Do you think there's gonna be any crossovers? Do you 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.000 the cross promotion? Do you do you feel like there 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.960 might be a pay per view with WWE stars and 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:40.080 UFC stars intertwined. Yes, you do. That could be something 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:44.160 different that would draw people who might not watch the 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:49.480 wrestling product then or judge UFC fans over because their 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.240 favorite might be on a pay per view that has 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.760 some wrestling personality. So it might be a way bring 0:13:55.800 --> 0:14:00.360 those fans together. Endless amounts of crossover to include guys 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.319 that you know haven't been around forever, the Ken Shamrocks 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.280 of the world that have both sides of the lineage 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.719 that can crossover. Obviously, Brock has both sides that can 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.560 cross over, and all they need to do is be 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.400 in the stands at a UFC show to cross over 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:20.160 and promote. I mean it is possibilities are endless, and 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.720 this is to me, the best hands the WWE branding 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:29.240 could be put in is UFC Lover, which is funny 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.520 because I don't know if they were ever considered to 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.640 be in the mix among the discussion. The only other 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.760 purchaser I would have thought it would have made the 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:45.360 most sense was Comcast NBC Universal because of the established 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.680 relationship with the television rights. That's the only one that 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.680 I thought made the most sense. This is the other 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.000 one that, now thinking about it makes the most sense 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.320 right right. It's gonna be fun to see down the 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:05.360 line like what they do. And I just hope, just 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.000 for the sake of those people brought back, I just 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.840 hope there's not releases coming up because it's gonna be terrible. 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.520 It's really going to be terrible. You get your job 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.800 back in like two months later, you're gone, Like that 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:22.040 is just so bad, you know, Oh yeah, no, that's 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:23.640 gonna suck. But you don't know. I mean, maybe this 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.560 budget is endless, or I hope maybe maybe there's folks 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.440 that the management of Endeavor have an interest in that 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.080 WWE didn't you never know. Yeah, well we'll see, we'll 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.000 see how it plays out. But you know, the rich 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.520 get richer, as they say, so good for you. But 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.440 what a weekend again, you know, we talked about it. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.680 We recorded on Friday when the news broke that Vince 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.840 McMahon re signed. Technically, it was revealed that you know, 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.920 he guess he came back in January when he was 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.640 elected back as the chairman. But then it was he 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.920 signed an official to your deal with WWE. Now where 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.480 does that stand? That does Endeavor pick that up? Because 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.160 he's officially you know, back as a whatever the hell 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.240 title this is now that's the chairman of the board. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.440 I mean, does that mean he doesn't have like a 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.840 contract that's standing with WWE is And now like I 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.600 have to be restructured to fit this new conglomerate. So 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.360 Vince to me winning and this is very funny, and 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.800 I know this doesn't this is like apples and oranges. Now, 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.640 I saw this video of Tony Khan that was circling 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.880 around and it was like Tony Khan doing this Like 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.600 have you ever seen the hugging videos of him? Like 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.120 where he's hugging the guys after the first confer he 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.840 goes in for these really awkward hugs and he's like 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.000 embracing them, but like he tucks his head into their 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.200 like shoulders like a child. Yeah, like a child hugging 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.840 their dad or their mom. And I'm sitting there being 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:58.040 like the super marks that think that this guy like 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.400 saved the business like whatever. And Vince McMann just signed 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:08.040 a twenty one billion dollars do whatever to conglomerate the 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:14.080 two biggest fight products, some combat sport products in the world. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.080 Now it makes sense why WWE could be a betting 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.439 product that we talked about last week. This makes a 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.320 l of a lot of sense. Now, how does Tony 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:28.000 khan Wan up that? Because he was they have the 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.240 money to do it, and they have these other ventures 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.639 him and his father out there with other sports teams, 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.520 and you know, we we know the record of what 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.240 Tony Tony is dabbling in. How do we want up 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.719 that to make ae W move up a little bit? Like, 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.119 does Tony want to join forces with anyone? Does he 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.199 want to give up power? I don't know, you know, 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.760 I don't think they're content on being number two. I 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.040 think they have in their minds, they're striving for that 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.520 top position, so this definitely puts a dent into that 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.880 because this is huge. So I don't know, I gotta 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:14.720 tell you it ain't creepy boys of yours. Okay, it 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.480 ain't happening. I mean, as some of their stuff is 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:22.080 very entertaining. Yeah, it's just it's not happening. Look, it's 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.960 just good that there's a company out there that's big 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:30.760 enough to house all these other wrestling personalities and give 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.439 them a steady income. So I applaud them for that. 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.280 I am not dumping on aaw at all. They have 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.760 a strong product, but is it strong enough to compete 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.639 now with this conglomerate because this is this is like 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.360 mega huge. So yeah, Tony's head's probably spinning. It's probably 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.240 just like what do I do now? And if I 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.440 were them, I'd stop with the shots at WWE. I 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:58.280 would really now kind of really tone down the the 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:02.640 uber spots where people are like breaking their necks getting bases. 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.480 Did you see that ladder spot? Oh my god, yes, 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.720 oh my god. I had to watch it a couple 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.119 of times. They said, what on earth possesses you to 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:21.040 do something like this? God? Forbid you land a centimeter 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:24.280 the wrong way. Your life is over. What are they thinking? 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:30.880 Stop trying to get yourself over? Be safe. Jesus I cringed, 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.440 absolutely crazy. But you guys were the Blood and Guts company, right, 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.640 I'm not saying Look, I'm not saying I'm guys gonna 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.080 do some crazy stuff back then, Don't get me wrong, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.679 But this, like when he was at that top of 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.200 the ladder, I was going, no, no no, no, no, no no. 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.560 Somebody pushed the ladder. Somebody knockable, somebody do something, and 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:54.920 holy crap, it took the place of when Sid's leg 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.879 broke in the ring. If you saw there's an angle, 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:02.479 have you seen the opposite angle? So the one so 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.359 the camera, the pay per view camera angle, it doesn't 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:09.240 look as bad. Okay, a fan camera angle, got it? 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.200 It makes the Sid one look like if you snapped 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:15.840 a twig in your back. What injury did he sustain? 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.359 Any injuries? I don't. I can't remember what the exact 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.000 one is. But his leg looks like it's like you 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.920 the leg. It's like it's basically like if you took 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:29.960 a straw. Yeah, the straw like a zing And now 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:35.120 he's out for how long, Jesus, I don't know how 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.880 long was Sid out for. I don't know for years 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.280 I have it was out from like two thousand and 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.160 one to like two thousand and three. It is still out. 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:48.600 He's not even working. He just doesn't chill up. Sid. Basically, 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:50.800 I don't know if Sid ever left his feet after 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.320 that match. I'm not even care. That was terrible. I'm 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.879 not making light of that. It was. It was. It 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:58.240 was the the guy I told you when e c 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.200 W that I brought out and the first movie ever 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.960 does it breaks his leg and I saw I was 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.480 right there at ringside it just snapped, and I was 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:09.280 just like, oh my god, it was the same thing 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:14.200 that happened to Sid. It's terrible, you know, and it's scary. 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:18.359 But I mean, now that I'm older, I realized, like, 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.399 your health is the most important thing, and doing all 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:25.840 these crazy bumps, I thank god that, like myself and 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:30.840 my colleagues, nothing worse happened, because it could have went 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:35.119 all wrong a million times over. So I just feel 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.040 like these these younger guys that are doing all these 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.879 crazy spots is needed to take a step back and 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.840 think about it before they do. It looks great, but 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:50.879 it's kind of dumb. Absolutely. Now. One standout of the 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:57.520 weekend as it relates to the sale is these heard 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.000 around the world. Let me ask you, was the cartoon 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.600 Dudley do right when they used to tie the girl 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.639 on the train tracks and there'd be the guy with 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.280 the mustache and I know it was a little curled, 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.200 but that's who He reminds me of the villain who 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:13.159 used to tie the girl on the train tracks and 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.800 the old cartoons. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes, 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.640 I can forget your name at the moment. Yes, there's 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:26.080 a weird look. It's like a pencil mustache. Yes, I see. 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.760 My first thought was Clyde crash Cop, who was a 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.280 character on the original Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon. No 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:40.400 snidely whiplash, Yes, do right, it's so And look, I'm 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.520 not I don't like making fun of people's appearances because 0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:46.119 you know, it's it's not nice. Let's just put it 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:49.440 like that. But it is so strange to see Vince 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.560 McMahon with this pencil mustache out of nowhere that is 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:54.879 part gray. By the way I'm looking at it right now, 0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:57.000 it looks like it's a little gray. I wonder if 0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.760 he died it Oh, it on there. He also looks 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.399 like Dick Dastardly if you remember him, Dick Dastardly and 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:07.280 Muttley from the Wacky Racers. Oh Jesus, now, Barbara, okay, 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:10.000 well that's another one his so his hair is super 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:15.080 duper brown, to magine super duper dyed brown mustache. It 0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:18.120 looks like he died his eyebrows too. His eyebrows are 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:21.000 dark too. It's just it. I don't know. It's a 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.280 weird look, like is he trying to I guess he's 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:27.360 trying to look younger, but I don't. I don't know. 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:32.159 It's it's weird he's looking younger, because remember the criticism 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:35.840 was he was looking horrible. But he's an old man. 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:39.320 He's gonna be seventy eight years old. And it's vice McMahon. 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.919 I know. This is a guy who who remember the 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.520 stories that if somebody if he sneezed, he thought it 0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:49.440 was a sign of weakness. Jesus. This is a guy 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:54.960 that sleeps a minimal amount of time, you know, because 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:57.199 he doesn't want to waste time away from work. This 0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:01.119 is a guy that is obsessed with perfect This is 0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:04.560 Vince McMahon we're talking about here, So he went away 0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:06.359 for a certain amount of time. I mean to be 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.399 honest with you. This picture of him from CNBC and 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:14.040 the piece on the sale, he looks a thousand times 0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.080 better than he did the last time we saw him 0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:19.160 on TV. Now, there's probably caked on makeup and as 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:22.080 you can see, his suit is pulled up above his 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:25.359 little turkey neck piece that's heading down right here. But 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:29.960 he facially this guy looks ten years younger than the 0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:32.399 one we saw like a year ago. Well yeah, because 0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:36.240 he looked sickly. He looked like he was recovering from 0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:39.879 something or he was sick or something. And of course, 0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:43.159
