But you know, we're 34 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: able to pull through and we're able to become the 35 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: four time TNA World Tag Team Champions, fifteen time World 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 3: Tag Team Champions all together.

Man, you 41 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 3: got something because we've been loved for over three decades now. 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: You know, we've been on TV for twenty seven years straight. 43 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: It's wild, you know, you let us just go do 44 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: our thing man, and it's gonna be a positive. 45 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely for sure. And I want to go back 46 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 4: a little bit a few months ago. We had you 47 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 4: and Jeff here on the show and we put this 48 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,839 Speaker 4: out in the universe, a what if we could ever 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 4: get a Hardy Boys and Dudley Boys final match, and 50 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 4: of course that set the internet on fire. You responded, 51 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 4: then Bubba's responded, and well, months later, let's fast forward 52 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 4: to it Slammiversary, Bubba A. Dudley came out called out 53 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 4: you and Jeff for that final match between Team three 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: D and the Hardy's. We're getting it at Bound for Glory. 55 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: Of course, fans are losing it right now because of 56 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 4: this match. Walk me through what that combo was like 57 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 4: backstage and what would it mean to put that rivalry 58 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 4: to rest one last time after you've been doing this 59 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 4: for twenty six years with them. 60 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: Well, walking through this, there was no kind of goo backstage. 61 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 3: So Bubba had showed up later in that day and 62 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 3: I think he was hitting a room whatever. I just 63 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 3: knew from Tommy Dreamer that he would be coming out 64 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 3: at the end, and I thought it was gonna be 65 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 3: about ninety seconds. 66 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: It was a little bit longer. 67 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: I think, but Bubba was gonna come out and throw 68 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: the challenge out for you know, bound for glory and 69 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: see it would be you know, up for accepting it, 70 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 3: which obviously he knew he would. And then after we 71 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: finished and he left and went to the back and 72 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 3: we celebrated a little more. When I went to the back, 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: he was already gone. So that was I didn't have 74 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: any interaction with him. And I think he did that 75 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: by design, just to try and make all the reactions 76 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: be as genuine as possible. 77 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. 78 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 4: And one thing that I love about this is, you know, 79 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: you get to you said, you've been doing this for 80 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: so long. A lot of generations are getting to see 81 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: what this rivalry was and is between the Dudley's and 82 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: the Hardy Boys, because I mean, I remember growing up 83 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: watching this. It was the dudley it was Hearty's, it 84 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: was Edging Christian. My oldest kid was able to watch this. 85 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 4: Now my youngest kid is able to watch this rivalry. 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 4: Put that into terms for the fans, like, how does 87 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 4: it fail to bust out this rivalry one last time? 88 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I'll be honest, I know, you know, Bubba 89 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: has still been actively competing a little bit. Devine has 90 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: not in a while, you know, he's had some health issues. 91 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 3: I had no idea where he stood, if he could 92 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 3: get back in the ring, if he would be okay, 93 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 3: if he'd be cleared, and apparently, according according to Bubba 94 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: and and and and those guys, he is. So I 95 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: I think I'd kind of almost came to the conclusion 96 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: that probably wasn't gonna happen just because these guys, you know, 97 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: because Debone wasn't healthy enough. But now that it is, 98 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: it's it's really cool, and I want to make it 99 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: as special as possible. And I feel like this match, 100 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 3: we want to celebrate the legacy of everything we've done, 101 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: you know, for all these decades, especially looking back at 102 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 3: that one night, the night that we had the tag 103 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: team Tables match in Madison Square Garden and Ja Weary 104 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 3: of two thousand man like we we we did a 105 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 3: type of match that no one had ever seen in 106 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: w B. Like it was a car crash and non stop. 107 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: Boom boom, boom, boom boom, you know, just full of 108 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: full of bombs. 109 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 3: And uh, you know, we're we're we're probably not going 110 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: to go that all out again, but we are going 111 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: to uh surprise a lot of people. I think we 112 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: were going to definitely exceed expectations, and I think it's 113 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: going to be a very smart match that we put together. 114 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be excellent. 115 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: Though, super excited to see that that that final match 116 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 4: at Bound for Glory coming up here in October. Uh, 117 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 4: you know, I want to go back because at Rebellion, 118 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 4: you and Jeff and I just kind of ripped the 119 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 4: band aid off. 120 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 2: You and Jeff lost the tag titles to Nick and 121 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: Ryan Nemath. 122 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 4: Then you won them back at an amazing ladder match 123 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 4: at Slammiversary in front of Tena's biggest crowd to date. 124 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 4: How did that rollercoaster of defining moments shape your mindset? 125 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: It was, Uh. 126 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 3: I enjoyed that journey. So we we we told a 127 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: little bit of a story, like after we lost the 128 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 3: titles and THEMNUS, we said, sure they cheated, but we 129 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: shouldn't have any kind of excuse if we're still the 130 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: greatest tag team, you know, if we're still on top 131 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: of our game, like no one should be able to 132 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: beat this, We should be that good. And then we 133 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 3: kind of questioned ourselves because we took a few more 134 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 3: losses in between Rebellion and Slammiversary, and then we kind 135 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: of made Slammiversary a do or die situation for us 136 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 3: where we said, hey, we need to really push ourselves 137 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: on this, like, if we can't go in here and 138 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 3: win these tag team titles back for a fourth time, 139 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 3: if we can't prove that we're still on top of 140 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 3: our game, like we don't want to come out here 141 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: and be a shell of ourselves, you know, then maybe 142 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: it is time for us to step away and go 143 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: into the TNA Hall of Fame, go into the w 144 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: B Hall of Fame, whatever else. So I thought it 145 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: was a pretty compelling story going into the match, and 146 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: then once we got to the match man, we showed off. 147 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 148 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 4: Absolutely, And it was definitely a fun that match for sure, 149 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 4: because it was like watching that ladder match and then 150 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: Jeff pointing up and then we just have the ladder 151 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 4: drop from the ceiling and I was like, what is 152 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 4: about to happen here? 153 00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: It was incredible. 154 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 4: And somebody else on that card that you guys have taken. 155 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: Him under your wing. 156 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 4: We recently had Leon Slater on and he had high 157 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 4: praises for you and Jeff for you know, being that 158 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 4: mentor for him in TNA. 159 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 2: What has made Leon the choice. 160 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 4: For you guys to say, hey, you know what, Leon Slater, 161 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 4: come over here under our wing. 162 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: We've got you. 163 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: I mean, Leon reminds us, both of you know, our 164 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: younger selves in so many ways.

You know, you still need to be physical. 170 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: There needs to be a certain level of physicality in 171 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: your matches as well. 172 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: So do he. 173 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: He absorbs stuff just like a sponge.
