Speaker 1: All right, let's kick off the week here Patreon the
Speaker 1: Eyes up Here Extra, it's Monday. Oh no, not extra,
Speaker 1: it's the episode so you can it's Eyes up Here,
Speaker 1: It's Monday. Let's get wild. If you didn't know by now,
Speaker 1: my name is Chad. Sorry, there's a lawnmower. It's like
Speaker 1: centimeters away from me here outside as blaming other things
Speaker 1: when you mess up, keen to move on. So you're sorry, accepted,
Speaker 1: defeat and move on. If you didn't know by now,
Speaker 1: my name is Chad, and every single week I'm joined
Speaker 1: here by the glitzy and glamorous Queen of extreme looking
Speaker 1: very nice. Yes you are, of course, this is Francine.
Speaker 1: This is your show, Eyes up Here. Welcome, well, thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm glad to be here and uh yeah, happy to
Speaker 1: be here. Happy. I'm not working for a major company
Speaker 1: right now, That's all I say. Why not would you
Speaker 1: fear for job security? Because you could literally be a
Speaker 1: top star now and get released like kind of out
Speaker 1: of the blue. We're starting hot today. This really, this
Speaker 1: made me almost fall off my chair this week. These releases, now,
Speaker 1: some of them, I was just like, okay, I don't
Speaker 1: watch the product. I'm familiar with most of the names
Speaker 1: on this list. Right, I don't watch the products. I
Speaker 1: don't really know what's going on, but I do know
Speaker 1: that we talked about last week the promos that were
Speaker 1: put out for the rest of house shows, and one
Speaker 1: of the major players with these promos was braunz stroman
Speaker 1: first guy in the problem to get these hands on
Speaker 1: tour for the house shows. He's released. He's gone biggest,
Speaker 1: the biggest star I would say in this list, of course, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah. Now you know, I was saying to my husband,
Speaker 1: I was just like, where is the logic to this?
Speaker 1: And you know, he turned around and he said, well, well,
Speaker 1: he was getting paid like a million dollars. I think
Speaker 1: his contract was like a million or something like that,
Speaker 1: maybe more with merch added in or whatever. But he's
Speaker 1: a draw, right, yeah, well presumably one of the only
Speaker 1: ones that they have. So why on earth unless there's
Speaker 1: something we don't know, why release the guy? I know
Speaker 1: he's expensive, but if he's bringing in money, why release
Speaker 1: some Two theories that are kind of banned about. I've
Speaker 1: talked to some people who were kind of close to
Speaker 1: the situation on the insiders on the talent booking end,
Speaker 1: of things. Uh huh. And my first question was it
Speaker 1: had to be This is exactly what I thought it
Speaker 1: had to be. His contract is due, he was gonna
Speaker 1: want more money. They're cutting their losses. I was told
Speaker 1: that's not the case. He just resigned about a year ago,
Speaker 1: so this was a complete It looks like wiping of
Speaker 1: the contract off the books, which has been banned about
Speaker 1: with this talk of a WWE sale we've been joking about.
Speaker 1: But when they wipe off a top guy who's making
Speaker 1: seven figures, that's really like shocking because the money they
Speaker 1: could have made off of him, that doubt is gone
Speaker 1: and off the books. So do you think he was
Speaker 1: blindsided or do you think he knew? I mean, I
Speaker 1: feel like when this happens, everybody's on edge right because
Speaker 1: nobody knows they can. I mean, they're pulling names out
Speaker 1: of their ass, like the things you would never think
Speaker 1: would happen. Or anybody is replaceable. I've said that so
Speaker 1: many times. It doesn't matter if you're on top, if
Speaker 1: you're scraping the bottom whatever. Do you think he had
Speaker 1: a heads up? Yes? I think he did. He do
Speaker 1: I think he was the only one on the list
Speaker 1: who did because Alistair Black, who you know, didn't have
Speaker 1: a top spot, but he was a very you know,
Speaker 1: I would say popular character who had been on and
Speaker 1: off TV. Was just in a storyline they kicked off
Speaker 1: for the Intercontinental title on SmackDown two fridays ago. Yeah, vignettes,
Speaker 1: building it up for six months and gone. He said
Speaker 1: he was blindsided. Okay, Lana, I'm going to guess that
Speaker 1: one was probably in the works for a while. Basically works.
Speaker 1: But did she know? Because now, again I don't watch,
Speaker 1: but I've read articles preparing for this day. Hear and
Speaker 1: Naomi new tag team, new outfits, the whole nine yards,
Speaker 1: you know, fighting for the belts and stuff. And now
Speaker 1: she's gone. Now do you think that has something to
Speaker 1: do with her husband being in aaw? Yes, you did.
Speaker 1: That's been the case for a while. I think that
Speaker 1: they were just looking for the right time to let
Speaker 1: that contract go. Now, again, when were they do That's
Speaker 1: the first thing I look at. When where they do
Speaker 1: or were they like Braun, do they resign a year
Speaker 1: ago for X amount of years? I think the thing
Speaker 1: with russev Ormiro, I think that that was like kind
Speaker 1: of after he was gone, they buried her on TV oh,
Speaker 1: she was going through a table in the week the
Speaker 1: poor girl buried her And I think that that built too. Now,
Speaker 1: it might have just been they realized they didn't release
Speaker 1: her before. That's what man. You know, You give, you give,
Speaker 1: you give, you do whatever you're told to do, you know.
Speaker 1: And I would assume she was just keeping her mouth
Speaker 1: shut and not complaining about it because obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: she she knew with her husband being gone there might
Speaker 1: be a little heat there. Yeah, And so you do
Speaker 1: what you're told to do and then you get released.
Speaker 1: It's like, ugh, come on, do they do they have
Speaker 1: an ounce of remorse for this day? Do they care?
Speaker 1: I don't think they care. Oh man, I really don't
Speaker 1: think they care. Again, I'm sorry for Braun. I really
Speaker 1: think that it's probably the most shocking release that they
Speaker 1: have had since probably Kurt Angle, and that was like
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. But Kurt Angle was at least because
Speaker 1: there was reasons they had substance abuse issues that they
Speaker 1: were not wanting basically anything to happen on their watch. Sure,
Speaker 1: that was probably the most shocking release, and that was
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. So that's that's a biggie, you know,
Speaker 1: And you know, he's going to AW. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: I mean they'd scoop him up in eight second. Well,
Speaker 1: Mark Henry's showing up was a nice little surprise that
Speaker 1: there's a guy that was an advocate for WWE forever
Speaker 1: and you know now he's he's on a different program,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like, you know, uh, where's your loyalty?
Speaker 1: I'm reading and we're has nothing to do with Look,
Speaker 1: you can carry your family. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like, uh,
Speaker 1: there are those who believe that if the rumors of
Speaker 1: the sale are true, a guy like Mark Henry is
Speaker 1: going to be told, hey, we're not going to use you.
Speaker 1: Go someplace else if you can. And that's why it's
Speaker 1: so shocking that they just put him in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. He's on TV all the time as an
Speaker 1: ambassador and it's like, hey, buddy, you know what, so
Speaker 1: you know you might want to go explore someplace else.
Speaker 1: But now, just a sidebar, we know aw's got a
Speaker 1: lot of money, right, I gotta be I think they
Speaker 1: look silly spending all the money they have on Mark
Speaker 1: Henry and the Big Show when now they're going to
Speaker 1: have seven young, good talents to bring under their roster.
Speaker 1: Where are they getting all this cash from? Well, we
Speaker 1: don't maybe it's an unlimited bank account. We don't know
Speaker 1: what they what Tony Kahan has in his pockets. He
Speaker 1: might have enough for everyone. He might. But but you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, it's like, it's it's weird that
Speaker 1: you would bring them in so high profile. These you know,
Speaker 1: these agents or announcers or whatever he's doing with them,
Speaker 1: and now you've got legit talent. Because Bron's gonna want
Speaker 1: some money. He's not gonna just take five hundred grand
Speaker 1: to come in. He's gonna be seven figures plus. Here
Speaker 1: here's my thing, And I could be one hundred percent wrong,
Speaker 1: but this is what This is the way that I
Speaker 1: would handle myself if I was in that position. So,
Speaker 1: if I was in WWE and I was making a
Speaker 1: decent living, what was miserable? Okay, my contract was coming
Speaker 1: up and they released me, right, or my contract was
Speaker 1: coming up and they ask me to resign and I'm unhappy.
Speaker 1: I would gladly take a pay cut to go to
Speaker 1: a company that I felt comfortable in, that would use
Speaker 1: me correctly, that you know I had friends and that
Speaker 1: I know would would be good to me. I would
Speaker 1: be okay with a pay cut. Now, I want to
Speaker 1: go for like a poverty each check, like for next
Speaker 1: to nothing. But I'm one of those people. I've said
Speaker 1: it before. I stayed in ECW. The pay was nowhere
Speaker 1: near with the other two promotions were offering at the time.
Speaker 1: But I loved it there. I was comfortable there. I
Speaker 1: was the big fish in the small pond, so to speak.
Speaker 1: That was my home and that's where I would have
Speaker 1: been forever. I would have never left. So money sometimes
Speaker 1: isn't everything to certain people, especially to the guys who
Speaker 1: have managed their money correctly and saved a lot of it.
Speaker 1: You know, now you're older, your body hurts. You know,
Speaker 1: you're looking for a lighter schedule, which AW does have
Speaker 1: a lighter schedule right now. Maybe a pay cut isn't
Speaker 1: such a bad idea, you know, of a pay cut,
Speaker 1: is it when you factor in all the well, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, you're not going to go in
Speaker 1: for next to nothing, but if you could still provide
Speaker 1: for your family, have a lighter schedule, be used properly,
Speaker 1: and be happy. Yeah, give it to me. I would
Speaker 1: definitely take that over making a million dollars and being miserable,
Speaker 1: right because now you got your cameo back, now you
Speaker 1: got your house, you have everything. You can do whatever
Speaker 1: you want, and you can make that money that you're
Speaker 1: losing on the side however you want, because they're not
Speaker 1: limiting you to anything right now, exactly whereas they just
Speaker 1: did they cut everybody from those third party social media
Speaker 1: you know, money makers. Everybody is miserable, free advice. Look
Speaker 1: at that from a vet. This is great for me.
Speaker 1: For me personally, I want to be happy, especially in
Speaker 1: my older age. You know what I mean, Like, who
Speaker 1: wants bullshit? Who wants to be understressed? We have enough
Speaker 1: stress in our life. You know, you don't want stress
Speaker 1: at home and at work. You want to try to
Speaker 1: lighten the load a little bit. So for me, I
Speaker 1: would gladly leave and go somewhere else for less money,
Speaker 1: but be happy. Be happy, let them hear my voice,
Speaker 1: use me correctly. I'd be all over that. So maybe
Speaker 1: a guy like Braun takes this the way I do,
Speaker 1: and maybe he says, well, hey, you know, I'm only
Speaker 1: on the road a couple of days every two weeks.
Speaker 1: Because that's what they're doing right now. They're you know,
Speaker 1: doing two weeks and then the next week is I
Speaker 1: believe it's taped, so they're only on the road a
Speaker 1: couple of days a week, and then the next week
Speaker 1: they stay home. You have such an opportunity to do
Speaker 1: whatever you want and make that money from your house
Speaker 1: or do it appearances, or spend the time with your family,
Speaker 1: take some time off, rest your body up. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: there's there. There are so many other options out there
Speaker 1: besides ww oh, you're you're right, You're right. And that's
Speaker 1: funny because ten years ago those options were out there too,
Speaker 1: but they were a lot smaller. There wasn't that opportunity
Speaker 1: to make this exorbitant amount of money. Fact that you're
Speaker 1: losing and now you know, you know, with how some
Speaker 1: of the you put the effort into your cameos. There's
Speaker 1: guys who lay on their bed and do them. I
Speaker 1: like braun Strom can sit on a toilet and and
Speaker 1: you know, handover fist money and cameo yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: it's your right now. There have been guys that have
Speaker 1: gone to AW for less, and that's well documented. The
Speaker 1: Revival said that they were taking a pay cut to
Speaker 1: go to uh AW and I'm sure that they're much happier.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they are less stress in their life. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's to me that mental health is so important, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like especially now. Yeah, Like I
Speaker 1: can't even tell you the stress that I was under
Speaker 1: the short time that I worked there. I was worried
Speaker 1: about everything, everything, and and it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I dreaded going to work. It was not a fun experience.
Speaker 1: I was simply there for the paycheck because it was
Speaker 1: It wasn't something that I looked forward to. Whereas ECW,
Speaker 1: I didn't mind to get on a six am flight.
Speaker 1: I couldn't wait till the weekend. Like I was packed
Speaker 1: two days before and ready to go and out the door.
Speaker 1: It was just it's a different for me. It was
Speaker 1: just apples and oranges. It was a different atmosphere. And
Speaker 1: if you cannot enjoy what you're doing, then you need
Speaker 1: to change your profession. And I know that's not that
Speaker 1: easy for a lot of people, but mentally it will
Speaker 1: break you down. So right now is the happiest, you know,
Speaker 1: besides ECW obviously, but this is the happiest I've ever been,
Speaker 1: and it's because I'm doing what I want to do.
Speaker 1: When I want to do it. And these people who
Speaker 1: are leaving are leaving that controlled environment and coming over
Speaker 1: hopefully to you know, a lesser of the two evils,
Speaker 1: let's say, where they have a little more freedom, they
Speaker 1: could do what they want. So unbelievable. Now, just on
Speaker 1: the revival, Jim Cornett feels they ruined their careers going
Speaker 1: to aw because they're doing a lot of the comedy stuff.
Speaker 1: They're not doing the serious wrestling that they were portraying
Speaker 1: themselves to be, so they took less money to be happy.
Speaker 1: But Jim Cornett fields, they're losing their credibility. Are the
Speaker 1: fans into it? If the fans are into what they're doing,
Speaker 1: I mean, who cares. Well, you're a fan of the Gaga.
Speaker 1: This past they had Gaga Mania with this last pay
Speaker 1: per view, they did another one of those stadium matches
Speaker 1: that they did last year. And it's just comedy, right,
Speaker 1: It's not good comedy. It's comedy. But you'll probably pop
Speaker 1: at it. You'll probably it's something that again, fan of
Speaker 1: the Gaga, you'll like, here's the thing. We know they
Speaker 1: can work, we know they can wrestle. We've seen both
Speaker 1: sides of them, so a little Gaga never heard anyone.
Speaker 1: They could always come back and get pissed off and
Speaker 1: do a straight match. I mean, it's not like they're
Speaker 1: locked into the comedy thing forever. It just shows that
Speaker 1: they have ranged sides. Yeah, there's different sides to them.
Speaker 1: I go like this, what if I start standing like this?
Speaker 1: Hold on, what if I start staying like this? When
Speaker 1: I talk to you? You look like a bouncer, right
Speaker 1: a little. I wish I didn't have to push them up,
Speaker 1: But you know, my perfectly rated shirt. The Tony Kahan
Speaker 1: promos promoting a lot of stuff. Have you seen these,
Speaker 1: like maybe one or two. There's a picture going around
Speaker 1: where's he's got He's pushing his arms up like this,
Speaker 1: but it's backstage at it took four days of shoots
Speaker 1: to film this match. Okay. There's a picture of Tony Kahn,
Speaker 1: Jericho and JF who are competing and the coach of
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars where they film the piece in his
Speaker 1: office and they're all standing watching a monitor and this
Speaker 1: picture is released. That's the kind of stuff where the
Speaker 1: Gaga people lose it because it's like it's so coordinated.
Speaker 1: It's like you're watching a movie now and are you
Speaker 1: watching the resident You're watching a movie. It's one of
Speaker 1: those things where you can appreciate the laugh, but I
Speaker 1: think in terms of the wrestling fan it loses people.
Speaker 1: I just feel like you have to listen to what
Speaker 1: the fans say. Right. If the fans are giving them
Speaker 1: positive input and then numbers are up, you're doing something correct.
Speaker 1: It's not for everyone. Listen. You can sit down and
Speaker 1: watch a show one week and you can absolutely love it,
Speaker 1: and then you can watch the same show the next
Speaker 1: week and despise it. It comes down to the writers
Speaker 1: and what they make the talent do, right. I feel
Speaker 1: like Gaga's okay. It shouldn't be in every single match obviously.
Speaker 1: There shouldn't be a million promos where everybody's talking. There
Speaker 1: shouldn't be eighty seven factions where everybody comes out with
Speaker 1: five people in a group. You know, that's my personal preference,
Speaker 1: but if the demographic likes what they're saying and it's working,
Speaker 1: they're gonna run with it. So you know, you got
Speaker 1: to pay attention to what the fans want. And WWA
Speaker 1: always talks about WWA universe and dah dah da da da,
Speaker 1: and it just seems to me, like everything I read
Speaker 1: is mostly negative. Yeah, it's the universe. Everybody's sitting on it.
Speaker 1: I don't understand if they're so gun ho about listening
Speaker 1: to the WWA universe, why isn't there a change? You know,
Speaker 1: they're stuck somewhere. They're just stuck in this universe that
Speaker 1: nobody cares about. I'll tell you. I'll tell you one
Speaker 1: thing that wasn't release that is rumored about, and this
Speaker 1: is another reason why they might be selling. Apparently Shane
Speaker 1: McMahon is gone again from the company, and he's my
Speaker 1: favorite mcman and he seems to be the first one
Speaker 1: who when the going gets tough, he's gone. He's my favorite.
Speaker 1: Did he go back to? Like where was he, like
Speaker 1: China or something building China away from China? It was
Speaker 1: either Japan or China. He was he built the pay
Speaker 1: per view structure for the country, like whatever the main paper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, if anybody knows pay per view, it's the
Speaker 1: McMahon's and he's apparently gone, but that has not been
Speaker 1: released to the public. So well, you heard it here first,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. I hope I'm not talking out of school.
Speaker 1: And then I hear I hear a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: during the week, and sometimes I don't remember if I
Speaker 1: was supposed to keep it in or keep it out.
Speaker 1: The views expressed right now when eyes up here are
Speaker 1: from the Chadster and not Francine. Now, before we get
Speaker 1: into some questions, we're gonna do some ask Francine almost
Speaker 1: anything here, and I have all the questions now, which
Speaker 1: I like. I want to ask you about the friends
Speaker 1: reunion in a minute, but I just want to mention first.
Speaker 1: They talk about you're so happy doing everything that you're doing,
Speaker 1: you know, and most fun you've had since ECW. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can tell you a person who attended the Square
Speaker 1: Circle expo was very happy to see the crowd you
Speaker 1: had gathered and how you were busy the whole time
Speaker 1: and they could barely come over and say hi to
Speaker 1: you because you were so busy. And then they said,
Speaker 1: that's because she is and this is a quote she
Speaker 1: is e c W. Oh, Well, I don't can you
Speaker 1: say who said it so I can thank them. It
Speaker 1: was a big vampiric friend of mine's very menacing and
Speaker 1: he could used to have like fangs in his mouth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love you, Kevin, Thank you so good. To see you.
Speaker 1: I'm making a note remind me to tell you something later.
Speaker 1: I'm writing because I know I'm writing it down. I'm
Speaker 1: writing it down. It felt so good, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: to see Kevin, obviously, but to see the fans. I love.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I love being at home, but when
Speaker 1: I do have to go out and do these shows,
Speaker 1: I just love meeting everyone's It's genuine and it's real
Speaker 1: for me, and it just makes me so happy that
Speaker 1: people still care about me and care about ECW. So
Speaker 1: I appreciate everyone who comes over to say hi. So
Speaker 1: thank you Kevin for those nice words. I think I
Speaker 1: made up the word vampiric. Just oh that sounded pretty,
Speaker 1: I know, I like. I think I might have made
Speaker 1: it up. All right, So the Friends reunion it was
Speaker 1: last Friday, I think, right. I was super excited about it,
Speaker 1: Like when I saw the trailer, I was super duper excited.
Speaker 1: Shelley Martinez posted something and tagged me in it. That's
Speaker 1: how I found out about it, and I had goosebumps
Speaker 1: and cried almost through the whole thing. How much of
Speaker 1: a nerd am I? It was that good to me.
Speaker 1: You're if you're a fan, you're not. It's not nerdy,
Speaker 1: it's if you're a fan, you're passionate. I was a
Speaker 1: huge fan of Friends. I loved, loved, loved to show.
Speaker 1: I remember crying like a baby when Monica proposed to Chandler.
Speaker 1: There are just certain things that are in my head
Speaker 1: that I could relate with, you know, being a twenty
Speaker 1: something year old or however old. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what year it was, but I think it was well done.
Speaker 1: I think, like they said, there were a lot of
Speaker 1: people that they wanted to have on the show because
Speaker 1: they only had a handful of, you know, people come back.
Speaker 1: Besides the six regular there were some people that were missed,
Speaker 1: but overall, just seeing them all together. And the best
Speaker 1: part of the whole reunion that I did not know
Speaker 1: about was that Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer liked each
Speaker 1: other but never never crossed the line. Interesting and they
Speaker 1: had they had footage of them flirting, like when they
Speaker 1: when the scene stopped and they were just waiting for
Speaker 1: the next scene. And I love that. I told you,
Speaker 1: I love that. Backstage Yeah, taboo stuff that you're not
Speaker 1: supposed to see, and they showed it. And they were
Speaker 1: so young, so cute with the flirting, Like my heart
Speaker 1: was just like I wanted them to get married when
Speaker 1: I watched the show, and now knowing that they really
Speaker 1: liked each other and they never acted on it, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, she could have avoided two bad marriages
Speaker 1: and been with David Schwimmer and maybe they would have
Speaker 1: been together forever. But that's got to be so tough
Speaker 1: to be in a situation like that where you have
Speaker 1: to be in love with the person on television, have
Speaker 1: an attraction to them off screen, and the only time
Speaker 1: you can get it on is just the kissing on this.
Speaker 1: You know, it happens with a lot of people chat.
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't specifically stating. I was just saying
Speaker 1: it in terms of this sitcom, we're talking about other world.
Speaker 1: I can relate it. That's all I'm gonna say. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was good. It was very very well done, very cute,
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed it. And if you're a Friends fan,
Speaker 1: you need to watch it. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Those are questions I have never asked you in our
Speaker 1: two years of being together on the air of anything
Speaker 1: having to do with your personal life and relationships. I've
Speaker 1: never asked you about that. I'm saving that for our
Speaker 1: car ride in August. So okay, I'm just kidding. I'm
Speaker 1: joking our car ride and use it as an extra.
Speaker 1: That would be pretty funny. Parts of it, do that?
Speaker 1: Parts of it? Parts of well, you have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to edit, so yes, I do. That's very true. I
Speaker 1: did just about your friends. I did. I caught some
Speaker 1: of it and whatever clips were floating around, just to
Speaker 1: see you know what it was. I just again, it's
Speaker 1: not my show. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You got
Speaker 1: a nice little little cry I did. I did my
Speaker 1: kids you, ok, mom fu good stuff? Very nice? All right,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do a little ask francyinge almost anything.
Speaker 1: A question submitted via Facebook time in a really cool
Speaker 1: Facebook group called Strictly Extreme where I mean, what do
Speaker 1: you think that the topic is here? It's CCW. Now
Speaker 1: I want to piggyback on the Facebook group. I am
Speaker 1: now a part of the Forever Fan dot Club ECW
Speaker 1: Facebook group, which I'm not gonna lie. Could be now
Speaker 1: the most hoppin' thing on my timeline, as every two
Speaker 1: seconds there are fans commenting memories, sharing memorabilia showing is
Speaker 1: some of the coolest stuff. And if this is any
Speaker 1: indication of this project, this is the endorsement is for
Speaker 1: people to go to Facebook forever fan dot club, the
Speaker 1: group it is off the chain to the chatster in
Speaker 1: there too. Yeah, well I'm not in there because I
Speaker 1: don't do Facebook. But that's fun. I'm glad that it's
Speaker 1: getting some buzz and Facebook seems to be where it's at.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to make a profile and get on there.
Speaker 1: I'll be the one with no friends. It's coming on
Speaker 1: to say hello, Well, can you just have Tom the
Speaker 1: MySpace guy as your profile picture? Tom? Remember him? He
Speaker 1: was everybody's MySpace friend. He was number one on my list,
Speaker 1: but then I moved him the number eight because I
Speaker 1: had other people that were more important than I. Loved MySpace. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought my Space was a good time. The party
Speaker 1: days in the mid two thousands. Okay, it was all
Speaker 1: about MySpace and literally your top eight could fluctuate with
Speaker 1: who you were with on a Friday or Saturday night. Okay,
Speaker 1: and you got to play music in them, but like
Speaker 1: you log on and a song would pop me. Oh,
Speaker 1: it was a fun. It was fun very quickly and
Speaker 1: I will I have the questions here. I logged into
Speaker 1: my MySpace account for the first time, maybe like three
Speaker 1: years ago. It was still like there there if you
Speaker 1: could find out whatever you log in information was the
Speaker 1: email address I had on file I don't even use anymore. Oh,
Speaker 1: I wanted to get in for one reason. It had
Speaker 1: a picture I took a hulkke on it. It was
Speaker 1: like my it was like on my wall right. I
Speaker 1: took it out of signing of Hogan walking right by me,
Speaker 1: and it was like I did like one of these
Speaker 1: really yeah, with the phone. It was with a disposable
Speaker 1: camera and it was on my MySpace page. I was
Speaker 1: able to pull it off. But there's nothing else left
Speaker 1: of the original MySpace. Oh yeah, I don't. I haven't
Speaker 1: been on there in ages. I don't even know how
Speaker 1: to log on. I wouldn't even know my info. But
Speaker 1: my Space was a good MySpace was like the first
Speaker 1: Internet thing. I think I joined. Oh cool. I think
Speaker 1: it was because there was there wasn't anything else going
Speaker 1: on at the time, I don't think, right, nothing like that.
Speaker 1: You either talked to somebody on you know, AOL chat
Speaker 1: or that. Yeah. I mean remember when I got text
Speaker 1: messaging in two thousand and two, Literally the only people
Speaker 1: who had it were me, Liz, and John from a
Speaker 1: Power Trip. We were the only ones who had text messages.
Speaker 1: And you had to pay like fifty cents a text. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: you did have to, Yeah, because I remember when I
Speaker 1: first started dating my husband and we were texting all
Speaker 1: the time, and my bill was like two hundred dollars
Speaker 1: for text messaging, and now we have an unlimited Imagine that.
Speaker 1: And then when they went to unlimited, it was like
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars or something. You like, he married me
Speaker 1: because I'd be pissed if I spent two hundred dollars
Speaker 1: on I didn't end up with some guy. You just
Speaker 1: be complaining about it in your current life, like I
Speaker 1: used to pay all this money. Toss about one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Come on, all right, here we go. So from this
Speaker 1: strictly extreme Facebook group, the first question was because I
Speaker 1: introduced myself as a co host of fran Scene and
Speaker 1: Shane Douglas podcast. The first question for fran Scene was
Speaker 1: when Shane Douglas threw down the NWA title, Whose idea
Speaker 1: was it for him to say you could all kiss
Speaker 1: my ass? I'm sure it was Shane's. You would have
Speaker 1: to ask him, but I'm sure it was Shane Douglas.
Speaker 1: It was. It was, It absolutely was. But I just
Speaker 1: thought that was funny, like you gotta read, you gotta
Speaker 1: read what it's said. It said for Francine, that's okay,
Speaker 1: all right. This person wants to know names. I could
Speaker 1: say names, Yeah, give them shout outs. Sure, Jake Crockett
Speaker 1: wants to know what was the highest peak moment of
Speaker 1: you and Shane's run together. It would be interesting to
Speaker 1: hear whether their answers differ, so they would want both
Speaker 1: of you to answer, But you go ahead and do it.
Speaker 1: The highest peak moment. Well, I feel like we had
Speaker 1: the most heat with the Gary angle. I I feel
Speaker 1: like it was the pitbull thing with the broken neck. Geez,
Speaker 1: I mean we had I believe I was with Shane
Speaker 1: for about three and a half years. I think that's
Speaker 1: how long the run was before he left to go
Speaker 1: to w CW. And I still think that if he
Speaker 1: would have stayed, we would have never separated. I just
Speaker 1: feel like we were that good together. To my own
Speaker 1: horn too too, but we were just a good We
Speaker 1: were a good team. You know, we were really good together.
Speaker 1: So I feel like we drew heat the whole time.
Speaker 1: But I think the pinnacle, and it was early on,
Speaker 1: was the Gary, the stuff with Gary, because it was
Speaker 1: we were getting beat up every week, it seems like it.
Speaker 1: And kind of watching that stuff about almost watching it
Speaker 1: in real time, just going through clips of watching basically
Speaker 1: from the week it happened, and it's like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: that night could be the high point for you guys,
Speaker 1: because that was insane. That was crazy. Yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 1: And I wonder if we were in a bigger building,
Speaker 1: would it have been different? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Because the arena is tight and there was about maybe
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred people there or so I wonder if we
Speaker 1: were in four or five thousand, seed Arena, six thousand, whatever,
Speaker 1: if it would have been different. But maybe just more
Speaker 1: people jumping the corn. I don't know. Now, you don't
Speaker 1: think that some point, let's just say Shane stayed all
Speaker 1: the way to two thousand and one, never left. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't think at some point there would have been
Speaker 1: a call for Shane to be a babyface with you
Speaker 1: being a heel, like you turning on him or him
Speaker 1: getting frustrated with you. You cost him a winner something
Speaker 1: and the money being you guys separated but then getting
Speaker 1: back together a la macho man and Elizabeth. I think
Speaker 1: that it would have actually been better if you guys
Speaker 1: were still in the same company, separated and then came back.
Speaker 1: Could have been I mean, I just feel like if
Speaker 1: it ain't broke, oh, I agree with that too. You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: we couldn't. We could have did a lot of cool
Speaker 1: stuff either way. But I just feel like him and
Speaker 1: I were a money duo. So you know, I was
Speaker 1: heartbroken when he left, I really was. I wanted him
Speaker 1: to stay. Understood why he left, obviously, but you know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Come see comes out, all right,
Speaker 1: have a this one, Darryl Patterson, much respect for all
Speaker 1: your work that you put in in ECW, especially your
Speaker 1: willingness to take crazy bumps. He wants to know what
Speaker 1: is a moment that has you saying to yourself, Wow,
Speaker 1: that was awesome, Wow, that was awesome. I think I
Speaker 1: have to always go back to the night that I
Speaker 1: turned on the pipples and joined you know, Shane going
Speaker 1: through the table. I honestly feel like that was the
Speaker 1: moment where the boys respected me and the fans were like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, because I'm now I'm told I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's true, but I'm told I was at
Speaker 1: first girl, at least in the States, to go through
Speaker 1: a table, and I don't think anybody really expected it
Speaker 1: to happen. And I think it was one of those
Speaker 1: like holy shit moments, she's dead, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And for me, I think that just elevated me to
Speaker 1: another level that night where that people were just like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's here to work. She's not here to just hang out.
Speaker 1: She's here to work. And you know, every single week,
Speaker 1: I just tried to put the work in and you
Speaker 1: look back and you say, wow, this was awesome. That
Speaker 1: was an awesome night for me. It just when I
Speaker 1: walked through the back, you know, everybody was giving us
Speaker 1: a standing ovation. I know it was just not for me,
Speaker 1: but usually people would clap, people got out of their chairs,
Speaker 1: and even the guys that were eliminated early, like Jericho
Speaker 1: and Scorpio, everybody was just standing there clapping and people
Speaker 1: were hugging me and telling me how well I did.
Speaker 1: And it just made me feel so happy and so good.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like that night a lot. Were you
Speaker 1: afraid I know this might have been really hard. Were
Speaker 1: you afraid that the pants or the skirt might come
Speaker 1: down and people could see the franchise written? Now, you
Speaker 1: weren't afraid of that at all, Right, just somebody grabbed
Speaker 1: it by accident, and that didn't cross my mind. I
Speaker 1: was afraid of getting hurt. I was afraid of like
Speaker 1: hitting my head on the lip of the table or
Speaker 1: something happening or hard way. And that's what I was
Speaker 1: afraid of. I didn't even think twice about the underwear. Underwear?
Speaker 1: Is it gone? Is it long gone? I sold it?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's gotta be. That's got to be in
Speaker 1: a museum somewhere. I don't know where it is. Hopefully
Speaker 1: nobody's wearing. Hopefully nobody's wearing it. Let's just say you're
Speaker 1: probably wearing it on their head for all I know.
Speaker 1: Are you thinking it as a Corona mask? Very nice.
Speaker 1: Darryl Patterson also wants to know, with Shane being the
Speaker 1: hometown kid, was it difficult to manage him in Pittsburgh. No,
Speaker 1: it was easy in Pittsburgh because we were always baby
Speaker 1: face in Pittsburgh. And I again, like, that's the only
Speaker 1: time that Shane and I like kind of disagreed, Like
Speaker 1: I kind of I liked the people loving us, but
Speaker 1: in the same aspect, I was like, but we're heels.
Speaker 1: It would be kind of cool to walk in your
Speaker 1: hometown and be despised. I don't know, you know, that's
Speaker 1: the way I thought anyway. But you know, he has
Speaker 1: his opinion and I respect it. The old Rick rude
Speaker 1: give you make it burden your hometown. You know you're
Speaker 1: a shitty heel, and he took except into that big time.
Speaker 1: I would not call him a shitty heel, but I
Speaker 1: just think it would have been cool to go in
Speaker 1: as babyfaces and then have him clept this hillacious promo
Speaker 1: and have every single person bill us out of the building.
Speaker 1: I thought that would have been fantastic for TV. But
Speaker 1: he liked to be loved in Pittsburgh, so I just
Speaker 1: went along with it. I can't even walk the streets
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh Beaver County. All right, how about this one?
Speaker 1: Ronan Margolin says, what's up, guys, huge fan of ECW
Speaker 1: since ninety six. Right, First of all, glad you two
Speaker 1: squashed your beef. You and Shane mm hmm. When did
Speaker 1: you two figure out you were a good fit right
Speaker 1: away or was it? Was it a process? I think
Speaker 1: it was right away. I think we clicked right away.
Speaker 1: It comes down to that story where he he remembers
Speaker 1: this and I don't, but he always says that we were.
Speaker 1: He was helping me with a promo when he came
Speaker 1: back and he wasn't even working yet, and Paul saulis
Speaker 1: conversing in the corner and a twinkle was in his
Speaker 1: eye and he thought, well, this is the new Dynamic Doo.
Speaker 1: I love the company, and uh we we just clicked
Speaker 1: right away. And I didn't. Again, I didn't know anything
Speaker 1: about Shane. You know, I didn't know his work. I
Speaker 1: wasn't a fan. I wasn't prevy to what he had done.
Speaker 1: I had to go home and look up stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: and study, which I did, and I was like, oh, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I could work with this. You are a student of
Speaker 1: the game for doing something that you have to. That's
Speaker 1: what it's all about. You have to you have to
Speaker 1: better yourself. How about this one? Mark Fioretti doesn't have
Speaker 1: a question, but he just says he just subscribed to
Speaker 1: your Twitch channel and is now going to join Patreon.
Speaker 1: Can't wait? Get it? Mark? Well, We haven't heard from yet, Mark,
Speaker 1: but we're waiting. Come on over, babe. He wrote this
Speaker 1: an hour ago, so we'll give him a few minutes,
Speaker 1: maybe a reload of email, perhaps, Come on, Mark. The
Speaker 1: clock is ticking on. This is a good question. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if we've answered it in this format. I
Speaker 1: think we've mentioned it in casual passing. What is your
Speaker 1: favorite version of the Triple Threat? Well, uh, jeez, I
Speaker 1: have to go with Shane Bambam Candido. I love Brian
Speaker 1: Lee to death, love love, love, love love Brian Lee.
Speaker 1: And I thought Malenko Benoir was cool, but you know,
Speaker 1: getting to work, I didn't obviously didn't work with the
Speaker 1: earlier version, but I've worked with several and I love
Speaker 1: Lance Storm, He's a great guy. But to me, Bam
Speaker 1: Bam and Chris with us was just the best, the
Speaker 1: most fun, the best angles. That's my opinion. Could you
Speaker 1: have seen yourself with the original Triple Threat with the
Speaker 1: Shane Malenko ben Wat Yeah, I could, but see those
Speaker 1: that version, Like, to me, they were all straight men, right,
Speaker 1: so it was kind of like, I like the diversity
Speaker 1: of having Chris be the kind of silly but still
Speaker 1: be like technically able to kick somebody's ass because he
Speaker 1: was just a great worker, you know, well rounded. I
Speaker 1: feel like that earlier version was so serious. Maybe they
Speaker 1: didn't need me. I don't know. Like I I feel
Speaker 1: like I could have worked with them, but it just
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would have been as fun right,
Speaker 1: and nothing against any of them, because they're all phenomenal workers,
Speaker 1: but the dynamic would have been different. Yeah, the group evolved.
Speaker 1: I mean it really was the you know, the shooter,
Speaker 1: the technical wrestler, and then and Shane, who could really
Speaker 1: be a little bit of everything. They were a very
Speaker 1: serious wrestling crew, whereas you guys were like, you guys
Speaker 1: are like a gang. You saw one, you got them
Speaker 1: all kind of thing. And that's what I loved about
Speaker 1: the Triple Threat was it was guys that had each
Speaker 1: other's back. This one. It was like three guys, you know,
Speaker 1: mad as hell against the world. They were a very
Speaker 1: serious demeanor to them. It's interesting that they didn't have
Speaker 1: a manager, but it's funny. Would Francine have crossed over
Speaker 1: well with them? I guess that's one of those ultimate
Speaker 1: fantasy booking questions. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much of a role I would have got to play,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like what I have been
Speaker 1: like a missilez who didn't get to talk at all
Speaker 1: and just stood there and did nothing. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's weird because Shane, you know, obviously was with
Speaker 1: Sherry for a while, but Sharry was gone by the
Speaker 1: time the Triple Threat was for him. So I wonder
Speaker 1: if they kept them together, would Sherry have been with them?
Speaker 1: But did they need it for again, there would be
Speaker 1: a serious group of wrestlers rather than a gang of
Speaker 1: guys that were all you know, friends. Yeah. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they they weren't together very long. No, No, it was
Speaker 1: really a handful of shows. Yeah, yeah, So we don't
Speaker 1: know what could have been. But I yeah, my favor
Speaker 1: is definitely Bam Bam Chris and Shane. Yeah. Shane always
Speaker 1: says there's only two pictures of them together and Malnko
Speaker 1: and Shane, one in a locker room and one they're
Speaker 1: outside and they're in there of course, you know, out
Speaker 1: outside the arena. Best Fanny Pax and Zubas lovely. So
Speaker 1: it's a time capsule in terms of the pictures taken.
Speaker 1: I was asked by Joseph Ryan the ninth, the ninth. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's a big family. Joseph Ryan the eighth didn't want
Speaker 1: any part of it. Yeah, he's not around for that.
Speaker 1: That's okay. Uh, this one is Dominic Borgia. He would
Speaker 1: like to know where were the craziest fans. Well, I'd
Speaker 1: have to say Philly. Obviously the arena was a bit crazy. Uh,
Speaker 1: the Madhouse of Extreme in New York. They got a
Speaker 1: little crazy at times. Anywhere that a fight broke out,
Speaker 1: which was most cities, riots did ensue, and for the
Speaker 1: most Park fans, you know, were respectful. But again there
Speaker 1: were those over zealous ones who couldn't keep their hands
Speaker 1: to themselves and just you know, they thought it was real.
Speaker 1: It was real to them, damn it, and they just
Speaker 1: they just had to spit or punch or attack us.
Speaker 1: And you know that's crossing the line. Bro, that's a
Speaker 1: little too much. I don't know. In the comments they said,
Speaker 1: without a doubt Philly. People were saying New York. But
Speaker 1: Dominic actually replied to somebody and said he figured that
Speaker 1: was the answer with Philly. But you never know. The
Speaker 1: War Memorial in Florida was pretty nuts. But I don't
Speaker 1: remember anything ever like crazy happening there. They were a
Speaker 1: good grip, like a raucous crowd. Yeah, like they were
Speaker 1: reality and they were into the product. And I remember
Speaker 1: I liked working there. I liked that building that was
Speaker 1: for Lauderdale, right, yeah, yeah, Yeah. We would go there
Speaker 1: early and stay late, you know what I mean. That
Speaker 1: would like stay extra days to go to the beach
Speaker 1: and go to the clubs. And we would make that
Speaker 1: a vacation every time that we went there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I if I had to choose, I think Philly and
Speaker 1: New York topped the list for me. So yeah it was.
Speaker 1: I think that was also the venue where the ring
Speaker 1: came down. If I'm mistaken, the War Memorial in Florida.
Speaker 1: You ever see that? I think you had it either,
Speaker 1: you weren't on the road yet. It was the one
Speaker 1: clip of the ring comes down. It was all the
Speaker 1: fans inside of it. Everybody was jumping. I thought that
Speaker 1: was in Philly. Oh, I thought that was in Florida. No,
Speaker 1: I think that was at the Arena. Really is that
Speaker 1: when Public Enemy were in the ring. I don't remember
Speaker 1: who was in the ring. I just remember it was darker.
Speaker 1: That's why I didn't think it was the arena. It
Speaker 1: was like a little the Florida one, wasn't it Like
Speaker 1: a little bit of a darker venue. Florida had a stage,
Speaker 1: had a stage where we came out and they had
Speaker 1: two sides were on the floor and then the back
Speaker 1: went up with bleachers. I think I know there was
Speaker 1: a stage, but I don't. I don't remember the Florida building,
Speaker 1: the the thing collapsing there. I know it did in Philly.
Speaker 1: I can't. I gotta, I gotta go back and look
Speaker 1: that up. I mean, I know the chair incident was
Speaker 1: in Philly. Yeah, with Terry Funk and Cactus Jack. When
Speaker 1: Terry Funk is waving his arms in and then you
Speaker 1: get pit in the head with the chair and goes down.
Speaker 1: I want to say it was Philadelphia where Public Enemy
Speaker 1: was in the ring and it goes the one side
Speaker 1: and then everything falls. Oh that's so great. E c
Speaker 1: W was awesome. God man. I saw two other chair
Speaker 1: throwing incidents, uh similar to kind of you copy off
Speaker 1: of that. One was in the e CW arena. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was a TNA house show. Main event was the
Speaker 1: Dudley's Team three Team three D against the New Age Outlaws.
Speaker 1: So on paper, that's pretty damn good main event. For
Speaker 1: some reason, fans decide of throwing chairs in the ring
Speaker 1: and road Dog Brian James gets on the mic and
Speaker 1: just goes off. He goes, you motherfucker's dust ruined a
Speaker 1: goddamn good finish, threw down the mic and walked out
Speaker 1: of the ring. Oh and that's how the show ended.
Speaker 1: Oh that's it was crazy. That was famously I got
Speaker 1: hitting the balls by Billy Gunn during that show. He did. Yes,
Speaker 1: they were brawling outside the ring and oh no, Billy,
Speaker 1: excuse me, I hit by Bubba. Billy knocked Bubba down.
Speaker 1: Bubba goes back like this, nuts And I'm sure he
Speaker 1: probably saw somebody standing there and did one of those
Speaker 1: hit right in the balls. And then the other one
Speaker 1: was an right show that did the same thing with
Speaker 1: the chairs. Oh okay, e CW copycats all round. Before
Speaker 1: I get to the questions, I gotta mention this. Did
Speaker 1: you hear Mark Shapiro who we mentioned last week in
Speaker 1: our watchlong Do you recall we saw him? He was
Speaker 1: with with you guys. He died? Oh he did in
Speaker 1: the past week he did upset. Now can you believe
Speaker 1: that we just saw and it was the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Shane brings them in front of the camera and says
Speaker 1: that he passed away. Heard it through the grape vine. Oh,
Speaker 1: I couldn't find anything about it online, but I heard
Speaker 1: through the grapevine he passed away this week. We just
Speaker 1: I don't know of what, but we just talked about him. Weird.
Speaker 1: Oh I feel bad now, all right, p Yeah, really
Speaker 1: he was a very nice man. Go watch our our
Speaker 1: watch along Louis Pacoli versus Shane from September seventeenth, ninety six.
Speaker 1: Shane brings him literally in front of the camera says
Speaker 1: if anybody touches her, he brings them in the back
Speaker 1: and I'll kick their ass because you were getting grabbed.
Speaker 1: We saw that now. Yeah, oh, poor guy. I'm going
Speaker 1: to ask one more before we move over to the
Speaker 1: rest of these on Patreon. Okay, okay, yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: save that one. I'm gonna go back to that. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be a good one to start it with. Uh,
Speaker 1: we'll close in with this one. I've heard some tales
Speaker 1: about how much of an asshole Raven was. What's your take? Wow,
Speaker 1: he could be for sure. I think everybody has probably
Speaker 1: had their ups and downs with Scotty. You know, right
Speaker 1: now we're cool, and I have to say that he
Speaker 1: does have a great mind for the business. I feel
Speaker 1: like the Raven character. I don't know if he came
Speaker 1: up with it or Paul came up with it or whatever,
Speaker 1: but I just think that it elevated him, you know,
Speaker 1: because he was doing this Scotty the Body or Johnny
Speaker 1: Polo all that. You know, he came in from WWF
Speaker 1: fresh off that character and to see him like in
Speaker 1: this grunge it was cool and it was relatable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you know, if somebody
Speaker 1: says to me, do you like Scott Levy, I'd say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like Scott Levy, but definitely butted heads a couple times.
Speaker 1: And I've seen him butt heads with a lot of people.
Speaker 1: So you know, there's a lot of said with interviews, right. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you guys were very close. Everybody in ECW shared the
Speaker 1: locker rooms, the roads, whole nine yards, the shoot, interviews,
Speaker 1: the podcast, interviews, the right of interviews, magazines, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Do more problems and this is not you know, talking
Speaker 1: about Ravens specifically, This is everybody. Do more problems come
Speaker 1: out of those interviews with other things being said than
Speaker 1: actually things that happened in the locker room. I feel like,
Speaker 1: and I've said this before, I feel like these shoot interviews,
Speaker 1: people say things that they here and they feel is
Speaker 1: the truth, and a lot of times it's not. And
Speaker 1: like you know, back in the day again, let's talk
Speaker 1: about the rats, talk about this, let's talk about that,
Speaker 1: and people say things, and people have said stuff about
Speaker 1: me that isn't true, and it may it hurts my feelings,
Speaker 1: and I call them on it. You know, Scotty did
Speaker 1: in an interview. I called him on it. We talked
Speaker 1: it out. I was furious, you know, Sandman did in
Speaker 1: an interview, called him on it, talked about it. He
Speaker 1: was wrong, he admitted he was wrong. But now it's
Speaker 1: it's there for all to you know, for all to see,
Speaker 1: for the rest of eternity. I just feel like there
Speaker 1: are certain topics that should not be discussed, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: private things, things that you know happened behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: It's really nobody's business. But I'm going to say it
Speaker 1: because I'm going to get over because yoh I did
Speaker 1: this and I did that. Just keep your mouth shut.
Speaker 1: They're there, you know, especially now you're in your fifties,
Speaker 1: get over it. That's the way I look at it.
Speaker 1: I just feel like guys should have more respect for
Speaker 1: the females in the business. Yeah, we talked about that many,
Speaker 1: many times. And you know what also is funny about that,
Speaker 1: And like you said, anything you talk to to Raven directly,
Speaker 1: you talk to sam in directly. People who just stumble
Speaker 1: on to clips that are fifteen years old are hearing
Speaker 1: that and then they go, oh, I heard Raven say that,
Speaker 1: so that's got to be. It's got and that's it.
Speaker 1: And now you know, even some of the fine Stein's
Speaker 1: shoot interviews are twenty plus years old. Yeah, and whereas
Speaker 1: some of them are great time capsules because some of
Speaker 1: the guys are gone, the stories will live on forever.
Speaker 1: Other things, if they say something in passing, it's now
Speaker 1: in stone and that if they're alive and you're there,
Speaker 1: they if somebody say yeah, I didn't like Francine, and
Speaker 1: they go, oh, so and so it doesn't like Francine.
Speaker 1: You guys could have talked out one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: times since then, but it lives in infamy. I'd always
Speaker 1: find that, you know, it's almost these are as much
Speaker 1: of a benefit as they are a detriment. I was
Speaker 1: when I did Hannibal's thing last week. I went back
Speaker 1: and I was reading some of the comments just to see,
Speaker 1: you know, what people were saying about me or whatever.
Speaker 1: And one idiot was like, oh, she said she didn't
Speaker 1: sleep with Shane's so that means she did, and we
Speaker 1: all know that they were a couple, and I'm just like, no,
Speaker 1: you're wrong. I didn't answer him, you know, obviously, but
Speaker 1: why is it like like people say, oh, you're trying
Speaker 1: so hard to make us believe that you didn't. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that it's not true, right, you know.
Speaker 1: And all these guys who said in their shoot interviews
Speaker 1: that I was Shane's rudd and Shane and I were
Speaker 1: sleeping town wasn't true. It wasn't a thing, you know.
Speaker 1: And we both said this. If we were both single,
Speaker 1: maybe it would have happened because there was an attraction there.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, but it we never crossed the line.
Speaker 1: It never happened. There was never a kiss outside of
Speaker 1: the ring, or a holding hands outside of walking to that.
Speaker 1: Nothing like that ever ever happened. And I would take
Speaker 1: a lie detector test, and I would swear on a
Speaker 1: stack of Bibles it just didn't happen. So for people
Speaker 1: to throw that in my face and say, yeat, dude,
Speaker 1: you're you're just compensating. You're trying to make a no
Speaker 1: stopping an asshole. I'm just telling my story. Somebody asked it,
Speaker 1: and I'm giving you my answer. Why don't people believe me?
Speaker 1: Why do I'm the person that it happened to. Somebody
Speaker 1: believes me. I don't understand because so and so said
Speaker 1: it in an interview. Well true, can kiss my ass.
Speaker 1: Because I just hate that people can say anything they want,
Speaker 1: anything this Internet, the Wikipedia page, people add to it,
Speaker 1: all people writing on my wiki page. Some of that
Speaker 1: stuff on there is not even accurate, not even true.
Speaker 1: But what gives people the right to just pull up
Speaker 1: and add their two cents to it? It infuriates me absolutely.
Speaker 1: If it's not factual, it's absolutely should If Shane has
Speaker 1: said they've added extra wives to his Wikipedia, he goes,
Speaker 1: I had trouble with one ex wife. I don't need
Speaker 1: to exactly. I just feel like personal things should not
Speaker 1: be discussed. You know I've said it before, I'll say
Speaker 1: it again. Excuse me. We were on the road together
Speaker 1: four or five days a week. We had no social life.
Speaker 1: We would come home, do our laundry, say hi to
Speaker 1: our families, and then go back on the road. People
Speaker 1: are going to date, Things are going to happen. It's
Speaker 1: no one's business but our own. And for these guys
Speaker 1: to just sit down and talk about other people and
Speaker 1: make up shit, it bothers me when they were not
Speaker 1: you know, there's two people in the bed, so to speak.
Speaker 1: Were you there? Were you sleeping with me? I was alone?
Speaker 1: Were you there? No, you weren't there. Shut your mouth.
Speaker 1: We talked about many times, and it's never it's never
Speaker 1: a dull topic because it could always be brought up again.
Speaker 1: Forget me riled up again, especially for that interview you
Speaker 1: did last week. What did that have to do with
Speaker 1: what you were being asked? That somebody speculates in the
Speaker 1: comments about something they know nothing about, and both parties
Speaker 1: have vehemently said this is unfactual. Oh, this did not happen.
Speaker 1: We're both lying. We're both lying. As a friend of
Speaker 1: both of you, I can honestly say that it's the truth.
Speaker 1: I mean, both people are admitting there was an attraction
Speaker 1: something would have happened if one of us wasn't married,
Speaker 1: because I obviously was single at the time. We're both
Speaker 1: admitting that, We're both saying there was there was an
Speaker 1: attraction there, but we didn't do it. So well, how
Speaker 1: much more honest can you be? I'm not sitting there saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I thought he was an ugly dude and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to you know, blah blah blah. The thought never
Speaker 1: crossed my mind. No, I'm not saying that we're being
Speaker 1: as honest as we can be about it. And still
Speaker 1: people do not believe us, and they do not respect
Speaker 1: our answers. So I don't know what else to tell you.
Speaker 1: What more can I say? People? I respect your answer.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's it's it's annoying to say the least,
Speaker 1: But how could you resist a quaff, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: his quaft looks always so good. Look, he was a
Speaker 1: very good looking man. He still is a nice looking man,
Speaker 1: you know. But I'm an old, married lady with children
Speaker 1: and you know, too little, too late, buddy, And he's
Speaker 1: fighting he's fighting road rage with blue haired ladies in
Speaker 1: on the streets to Pittsburgh. He punched by ninety year
Speaker 1: old grandmothers No, actually, Gary got punched, not him. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, Gary got punched by this old lady. And
Speaker 1: it was the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: He always says, he hangs out more with two ninety
Speaker 1: three year old people and his stepmother. Yeah, when he
Speaker 1: goes to the far So there you go. He crew
Speaker 1: all right, he's a good friend. He's he's you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully he'll be in my life forever. I do truly
Speaker 1: love him. So there you go, exactly. And the rest
Speaker 1: is he would say, can all kiss his ass? So
Speaker 1: all right, we'll save the rest of the questions for Patreon,
Speaker 1: so I can throw that banner up where it now
Speaker 1: flew by. We're doing. Finish the questions, finish the question.
Speaker 1: Here's another funny one for the extras. No, do we
Speaker 1: have another Ramath? What was that called? Behemo? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: something different? It was, Oh what the hell? Accuser of
Speaker 1: the Brethren. I don't even know what we motherfucker. We
Speaker 1: are going to look at ugly ring attire. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: bring me up every time. Some of my were disgusting.
Speaker 1: I don't think you were on this list. But there's
Speaker 1: some pretty ugly ring attire. It's more we're just going
Speaker 1: to look at it, see if it's fashionably acceptable. Maybe
Speaker 1: we can rank the worst one by the end of
Speaker 1: it and what didn't work? But you know me, it's
Speaker 1: kind of goofy. And then, uh, here's another random match.
Speaker 1: You don't do much in it, but you're there. And
Speaker 1: I just thought it was I just thought it was
Speaker 1: interesting because I had never seen it and I watched it. Okay,
