0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen, Are you Ready's about to hit the fan?

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Unsanctioned Thursdays ho Wrestling with Friday.

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to a brand new episode of

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Unsanctioned Thursdays. Here, I'm Freddie Prince Junior. With me, as

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>always is my great co host, mister Jeff Die. And

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>we are talking a w's all out held in Chicago,

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Illinois and the explosion and aftermath of Cmpunk's employment with

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>ae W. And I think we should start with that

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>because pretty important. What can I say here? Okay, I'm

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>friends with some of the people that he's had an

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>issue with first and foremost, so I should get that

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>out of the way. So everyone goes, oh, pretty's biased. Yeah,

0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm biased, But I will say this, when you keep

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>doing the same thing over and over and you keep

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>blaming everyone else and it's the world's fault, right like that,

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Alesia Karasong, And you don't have to change a thing.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>The world could change. It's hard. The world ain't gonna

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>change for you or for nobody, and the world don't

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>know you. Shit, it's your responsibility as a human being

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>to find out your place in this world and make

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 1>the absolute most of it. But the world doesn't owe

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>you a damn thing, And a lot of people end

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 1>up in a similar situation every single time because they

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>keep behaving a certain way that turns people off. It's

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>really hard to piss people off. It's really easy to

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>make them feel good. And at a certain point, I

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>think you have to turn that finger towards yourself and say, Okay,

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>what is it about me? What am I doing wrong?

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Or you have to have someone a therapist, a wife,

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>a best friend who calls you on your shit, who says, yo, man,

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>this is the third time, the third time, the third time,

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>how many more before you figure out that this might

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>might be more of a you problem and less of

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>a them problem. I know there's going to be a

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of our listeners who disagree with me. You know,

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I respect where you're coming from. I get it. You

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>love him and a lot of the young people you

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>might think are soft, and maybe you think he's tough.

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I'm not trying to say you're wrong.

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to let you know where I'm coming

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>from based off my experience with him, Like he wasn't

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>a nice guy to me, and it would have been

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>easy to be nice to me, and instead he would

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>just blow me off every time I walked by when

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I worked there, and so I and I was never

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>going to work with him because he didn't need my help.

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>So I was always like, why are you being Why

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>are you going out of your way to be a

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>dick to me? If you and I are never going

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>to work together ever ever, So this is a weird thing. Man.

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I felt really bad for Tony Kahan. I don't think

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>he should have made the statement that he made because

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>he's not a good public speaker at all, and it

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>gives Punk an opportunity to like shit all over him

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>in his first interview outside of the business or outside

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of this firing. I wish he wouldn't have done that.

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>The letter was enough, but this is a goddamn shame.

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>And when ego and pride are dictating the decisions you make,

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you can accomplish great things, but you're more than likely,

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>even with your success, going to implode and get destroyed

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>at some point because the foundation that you've built your

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>success on is so fucking shaky, because there's no one

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that has your back because you've done too much wrong

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>on the way up in this case, at AEW he

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>started on top. He started on top, so he should

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>have been keyed in to this from day one. I

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>have to be the nicest I've ever been. I'll be

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>real with you guys. When I came back to acting,

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I made a conscious decision I'm gonna do it different

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>this time. If somebody's screwing up, I'm not going to

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>get on their case, I'm going to help them. I'm

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>going to help them with positivity. I didn't always used

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>to do that. I used to be like, look, i'm

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a professional, you need to be a professional too. What

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the hell's going on? Man? Learn your fucking dialogue. Now.

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>You don't earn your stuff in the makeup trailer. You

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>learn it at home. That's when you do. You don't

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 1>come to set with sides. That's bullshit. And so many

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>actors would. And as I got older and this second

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>time around, I was like, you know what, dude, you

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>need to focus on self and you need to focus

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 1>on affecting everyone else in a positive way. And I

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>went and did this Netflix movie with that soul motivation

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 1>in mind behind everything I did on set, and it

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>was the best that I'd ever been received, and it

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>was one of the most successful movies I've ever done,

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and I've made movies that made three quarters of a

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars. Netflix gave us big love for that. I

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>did an independent film after that with the same philosophy.

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to make everyone on this set. I'm going

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>to know every single crew member's name. I'm going to

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>give every actor every ounce of help they need, whether

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it's in the makeup trailer in the moment, I don't

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>care if they learn their shit or not. I'm going

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>to be patient and tolerant with young people. All these things.

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 1>These were huge motivations for me to be different this

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>time around. And the success that I had and the

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>experience that I had was the complete opposite of the

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>experience that I used to have, which made me leave

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the business. To be honest with you or one of

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the contributing factors, So this guy eventually either needs to

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>figure this out or that's a goddamn rap. And I

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>hate to sound cold and brutal like that, but I've

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>talked about the federation that I want to start here,

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and I've spoken to professional wrestlers and said, hey, man,

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>would you be down to help me out if I'm

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>doing this, I'm not joking. Every single wrestler that I

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>reached out to, but one said anything you need, I

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>would love to help you. Just don't hire Phil. And

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>this is over ten. It's over ten, okay, And only

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>one didn't say anything, and I don't know how they

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>feel about the guy, But everybody else is like, don't

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>hire Punk, Please, don't hire Punk. Dude, I'll help you out.

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>But if you hire Punk, I'm out, like it was everybody,

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>and that has to be a mirror that causes you

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to go, yeah, dude, it's time to change. At least

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that's what I think. And again, if you disagree with

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>me out there, I got nothing but love for you.

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I may not agree with your tim but I respect it.

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I know everybody loves him and he's one of the

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>best to ever do this wrestling thing ever in aspect,

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>No go ahead, I.

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Don't think he's the best to ever do this. We

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.840
<v Speaker 2>have an authority problem, right, That's what's happening here. Say

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 2>what you want about Vince McMahon. You could call him

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>a tyrant, you could call him a dictator of wrestling.

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 2>You could call him a mean boss or a bad guy.

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>At least people respect him in a way that they

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 2>fear him. See him Punk when he crossed Vince McMahon,

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Vince said, that's it. I'm daddy, and you don't work

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>here anymore, whereas Tony Kahan refuses to put his to

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 2>have any order or have any respect and fear in

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.119
<v Speaker 2>that locker room. So these guys are just running around

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.280
<v Speaker 2>doing what they want. They're fist fighting, they're they're causing

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 2>like little groups, they're keeping some people out of the

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 2>locker room, keeping its very clicky. If you can't allow that,

0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>you've got to say, hey, you know, we're running a

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 2>thing here. You know, there's gotta be some rules. You

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 2>can't just punch a guy in the face or choke

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 2>a guy out or whatever the hell happened. Nobody seems

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 2>to have anything, you know, figure out what actually happened,

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 2>and they go, oh, okay, you're not here anymore. And then

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 2>he just comes back months later and he's like headlining

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>like a thing. And Tony Kahn saying that he fired

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 2>him was because he knew see him Punk quit, So

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>it just made him look like, oh, I fired him,

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 2>like he didn't fire him. In fact, if he came

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>in had a little meeting with you next week, you

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 2>would you wouldn't wait a second to have him right

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>back on the car, really.

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>You think so? Do you think he would bring him

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 1>back again? Wow, it's a money thing. Maybe I don't know,

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a money thing. Well, and all Collision dies then yeah,

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>because that was punk show. If Collision starts dying in

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the ratings, then wow, what if you're right due? That

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>would be insane.

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Well and also Tony Kahan, you know, I know I

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>sound like I'm being hard on Tony Kahn, but he's me.

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 2>He's just a big wrestling fan. He loves wrestling, so

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>it's like it's hard for him to boss around these

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 2>guys that are older than him. They're they're way super

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 2>more respected in the wrestling world than him. Like it'd

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 2>be like if you let me run Major League Baseball,

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm just such a big fan that one of

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the players would be like, shut up, man, pay me

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 2>triple and I'd be like, Okay, I mean, I think

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 2>that's how Tony runs it. But he's he's a wrestling

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 2>fan who has a whole federation and deep pockets. So

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I think I don't like what happened but I think

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>that because nobody's ever enforced punk, nobody's ever told him like, hey,

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>knock this crap off, like you can't behave like this.

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Your attitude sucks. If you're not gonna play nice, you

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 2>don't get to play. But he's just always gotten to

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>do what he always wanted. I heard rumors they might

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 2>be going to MMA again. I don't know why you

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 2>would do that.

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 1>That would be hysterical unless he's wanted to get his

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>ass whipped again. Like they gave you two bums, bro,

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't get by either bum and didn't even show out,

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Like didn't even land a punch in the first one,

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.319
<v Speaker 1>not even a punch. And you're not just got it.

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>You're getting older, not getting younger. You know, it's not well,

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>it's like the wrestlers that I know said that was

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the main issue is that he can't work the way

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>he used to, and these young guys can do all

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>this crazy shit and he can't. And you saw him

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>even try to do some of these things like Hangman,

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.959
<v Speaker 1>pages Buckshot lariat and he kind of fucked that up,

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>couldn't stick the landing, his knees gave out on him

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.439
<v Speaker 1>like that kind of stuff is a lot of the

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 1>wrestlers that I was talking. He said, that's why he

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 1>he was the way he was, And my thing was,

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>like he was like that when I know him. His

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>back was hurting all the time. And I get being

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.439
<v Speaker 1>grumpy when you're in pain, but you gotta treat people

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>with dignity, not respect. Okay, respect is earned. I get

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that respect is earned, but every human that you interact

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>with should be given the opportunity to earn your respect,

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>and dignity should be a given. And when you can't

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>provide either one of those things, it's a you issue.

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not millennials driving you crazy. It's not all young people.

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't get it. They said the same shit about my generation,

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>all you young people, so don't worry about it. It's

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>just old people freaking out. They you don't have to

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>work as hard as they did because they made the

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>world easier for you, and now are punishing you for

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.439
<v Speaker 1>making it easier, like they were the ones that did

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>all that work. And then they see you and they

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 1>just want to punish you. And it's I've seen it

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>happen so many times, and all these young people are

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>sitting there like, what fuck you man, No, and if

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 1>you gotta at a certain point look in the mirror

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and say, is what I'm doing working? And when you

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>have this many years of it, not that should be

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a clue. He's still to me one of the best

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>on the mic, in the ring, all that stuff. I'm

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>not discrediting the man's work, but I think everything you

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.079
<v Speaker 1>and I have said in this episode of own Sanction

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Thursdays has been completely fair and appropriate criticism. Artists can

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 1>be criticized. I'm not trying to shit on the guy.

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>This is legit criticism and there's nothing wrong with that.

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 2>My final thought on the cmpunk, I mean, maybe the

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 2>guy needs a drink. You know this straight out, Just

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.680
<v Speaker 2>have a beer, buddy, Relax a little, go shake hands

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>with a few of your few of your coworkers. You know,

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe maybe take it like he's so intense, Jesus Christ,

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 2>just have a drink.

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 1>He just needs a drink. JA when he had that

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>number with JBL back in the day, that was the

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 1>That was the angle is he had a bottle of

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>Jack Daniels and he's like, hey, how about a drink?

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>And then the pitch was I don't know if they

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>did it, it was Punk instead of taking the drink,

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>grabs the bottle and breaks it over JBL's head because

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>he would never drink. But he should have had that whiskey.

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>He should have had a little whiskey.

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, he just seems so frustrated and grumpy

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and judgmental and opinionated. They think maybe just you know,

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 2>needs to relax a little.

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk Ricky Starks Brian Danielson, who I believe is

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 1>the replacement for CM Punk. I think Brian Danielson is

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be the new lead of of UH Saturday

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Night Collision. I think Ricky Starks is going to be

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.679
<v Speaker 1>the lead villain on Saturday Night Collision. I think this

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>is Tony Conn's way of trying to the Damn Show

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>is by putting one of the greatest wrestlers in the world,

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Brian Danielson, the American Dragon who got the strap match

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>versus Ricky Starks. I freaking loved this match. I every

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>second of it, from the very beginning when Ricky's like,

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna beat your ass before this match even starts,

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>waited for him to get strapped up first, beat him down,

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>gets in the middle of the ring, Danielson gigs himself.

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 1>That means cuts yourself, so you believe people. So when

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>they cut back to him, he's already pouring blood and

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>then Ricky just starts punching the cut and of course

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Danielson's face because aew is a crimson mak O Mackau

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>just like your werewolf John Moxley, who by the way,

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 1>won the International Championship from Orange Cassidy. Cassidy finally lost,

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.439
<v Speaker 1>but this match was brutal. This is one of those

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>matches where both guys are like, all right, dude, this

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>is gonna hurt a lot and I'm really sorry, and

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>they're like, no, no, no, it's cool. It's cool. This is

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>why professional wrestlers are tough. And I'm not because if

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 1>somebody who was like, hey man, we can get you

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>two million dollars for this strap match against MJF and

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>here's the story, I'd be like, I'm sorry, what match?

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>What are you talking about? Man? I'm not getting whipped.

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean whiped since my mom whooped my ass

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>when I was nine years old and screw that. But

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 1>these guys went back and forth. They beat each other's

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>asses like Trician Becky did in that steel cage match,

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and I loved it and the cool thing was and

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I hate postmatch scrums. I don't think Tony should do

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>any of these scrums. I think we're stupid. But Brian

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Danielson did say which I thought was a huge compliment

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to Ricky Starks. He said, Ricky carried me through that

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>whole match because he was coming off that broken arm,

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.199
<v Speaker 1>and you could see the skinny arm, you can tell

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 1>which one was broken. But he said, Ricky Starks carried

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>him through that whole match. And I really am starting

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:40.959
<v Speaker 1>to believe that Ricky's going to become the wrestler that

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I hope he could always be. A few months ago,

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I said it. I was like, yo, I

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 1>think this guy can be a star if he just

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>gets the right chance, the right opportunity, and he's getting it.

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>He got Cmpunk first. Even though he lost, he's still

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 1>got some wins and tag matches and shit and some

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>shady wins. And now with Brian Danielson, I mean that's

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the top two dudes, Brian being the new lead and

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Ricky still being the freaking man. But I love this match,

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>and I don't normally I get a little squeamish with

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>real blood. I prefer fake blood in horror movies. CGI

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 1>blood is nice to But I love this match, dude,

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 1>what about you?

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I just thought of a great idea that a e

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 2>W should do while you were while you were talking

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 2>about you know, this should some of these guys from

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Elite and they click and all these guys, they should

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 2>just make a belt like see them punks, you know,

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>with the big X on it, and just literally capitalize

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 2>off the CM punk thing, being like, you know, we

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 2>had to, we had to finally finish something up. You know,

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 2>they don't ever have to say his name, be like

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 2>we just took care of some Chicago douchebag, and they

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 2>like they have the belt and they just make a

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 2>whole storyline the punk's not a part of and he's

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>just he's just gone, Like that's the way that they

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 2>get rid of him. And they squatch the whole thing

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 2>with his belt and act like we beat his ass.

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to say his name, whoever we're talking about,

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 2>but we got his belt right here, pissed punk off

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and be like, you know, hey, guess what, we're still

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 2>we're still making money off of your antics. Back here,

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, I think you're right that he's going to

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 2>be the face from here on out. And Ricky Starks

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 2>is our producer. We've mentioned him many many times who

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 2>we love. Alex sent us the photo while we're talking

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>about it of Ricky Stark's back, and it is cringey,

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to say the.

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Least, just what my ass would look like when I

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>pissed my mom off. The whole match, everything was insane.

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I really liked it. I thought that they really stepped

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it up.

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 2>And dude, Aw's becoming infinitely better than WWE. To me,

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I never thought I would ever say that. But if

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, so in on AW, all right, we're closing

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 2>with this dude powerhouse Hobbs versus Miro.

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Now, I've said this on the podcast a lot of times,

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's I don't get to take credit for it,

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>but I am going to try and sneak my way

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>in and take credit for this one. Biggie in a

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>podcast once describe wrestling as meaty men slapping meat and

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I saw it on like a deep dive wrestling Instagram

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>like dive where you're just scrolling through wrestling posts, right

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, like a podcast comes in

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's a wrestler instead of wrestling, they're just talking

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and he said that, and I died laughing, and I've

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>set it a bunch on this. Well, apparently I'm not

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the only one that fell through that that wrestling hole

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram, because the entire crowd of aw all out

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>started chanting various versions of meaty men slapping meat. They

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>were screaming, slap that meat, slap that meat. Meet forever

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.920

<v Speaker 1>Like they committed so hard to this, and I'm not

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 1>even lying. It didn't ruin the match because the guys

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>were really good and busting each other's ass. But I honestly,

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>normally I get mad at the crowd. You guys know,

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.000

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>nicest guy in the world. Give credit to Jeff and

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I and we'll just say that we put that term

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>over and that's the reason why it was That's the

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>reason why I was said, we're very influential. We're rewriting it.
