Speaker 3: W as hot as it's ever been. What's the backstage

34
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: atmosphere been like over the last two years? And is

35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: the energy back stage matching what we have been seeing

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: on TV one?

37
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,320

38
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,440

39
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: having fans, We're enjoying having those fans back. Man. Like

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: I know it's been a while, but like when you

43
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: off their energy, and trust me, things hurt a lot

44
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,000

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: going on? And of course, like you said, you feed

53
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: off the crowd and it's kind of hard to feed

54
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: off of a you know, crowd on a TV screen.

55
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,919

Speaker 2: in the elimination chamber had he not, you know, came

77
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: down to commentate for some reason and then pour water

78
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: on me and then gets you know, I get pushed

79
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: to him, had McIntyre beat but then of course La

157
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: coming over to w W. If you know Toma Tonga

158
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: was to show up in w W, what do you

159
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: think somebody like him could bring to the roster to WW.

160
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: As a brand. Well, I think that s guy's the limit.

161
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: This guy can get after it. I know how good

162
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: Tom is, so the fact that he may be coming

163
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: over would be awesome. I was hoping that he come

164
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: over a long time ago, but he you know, he

165
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: didn't have any interest back then. So if there's an

166
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: interest style, he's making the right decision.

167
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it seems like right now, w like we've

168
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: said earlier, WWE is hotter than ever. I mean, you

169
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: can't scroll through social media without seeing some sort of

170
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: WWE content, And of course now you've got WWE heading

171
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: to Netflix, and I mean, it's just a great time.

172
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 3: And what do you think, I guess as a whole

173
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 3: for WWE going to Netflix, what do you think that

174
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: does for the company.

175
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: I wish, you know, I wish more guys who I

176
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: think would do well in WWE, who may have been

177
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 2: afraid as far as past things have happened with Vince

178
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: being there. I wish that they would understand that WWE

179
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: is in this for the long run. We're talking about

180
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: ten years on Netflix, possibly twenty years, you know, like

181
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: that's a long time. We're not going anywhere. And the

182
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: fact that you can come here and you can have

183
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: a job, you know, as long as you can produce

184
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: for as long as you want it, and depending where

185
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: you're from, and you know, you could reach out to

186
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: other countries. So I just wish I wish more guys

187
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: would understand this. We are not just in the United States.

188
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 2: We're not just in England. We are global where you

189
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 2: even bigger now than we've ever been places that we

190
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: weren't able to go now we're in, you know. So

191
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: I just wish they could they could see that and

192
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: know that, like listen, this isn't the same WW that

193
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: Vince was in charge of. Like I really believe that

194
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: Triple H looks at some you know, our talent and

195
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: go all right, li'sten get them better, or let's find

196
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: ways to bring out the best at them rather than

197
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: show off the worst. Because a lot of those guys

198
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: and girls when they got released for WW, it crushes them. Yeah,

199
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: I never understood why we want to do something like that.

200
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: And rather than just okay, let's send them back in

201
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: NXT that just need a little bit more work or

202
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: something like that. But being released, it's a it'll crush you.

203
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: And I don't want to see people, you know, their

204
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: lives be a room because of the job. At the

205
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: end of the day, it's just a job, but still

206
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: it's something they've worked for their whole life. And then

207
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: when you're told you're not good enough, man, it sucks,

208
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: But that's that's not the way it is these days now.

209
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: With Tim h in charge, I think he's doing a

210
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: great job of making everyone feel important.

211
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

212
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you've seen it across every I mean, you know,

213
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 4: the backstage shows have been more up. I mean NXT

214
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: is more like everything has just been kind of kind

215
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: of rising up. So we don't want to take up

216
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 4: too much of the time, you know, we would be

217
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 4: if we didn't mention an old running buddy of your sting,

218
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 4: you know, the w W Hall of Famer. He's hanging

219
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 4: up his boots this weekend. You guys shed a ton

220
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 4: of blood, sweat and tears and TNA what words or accolades,

221
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: maybe you know, kind of giving his you know him

222
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: his flowers? Would you pass along to the today?

223
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: Oh man? You know they say never meet your heroes.

224
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: I got to meet one of mine obviously it was

225
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: sting and he is such a great guy. Like he's

226
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: a nice guy, has always been a nice guy. And uh, man,

227
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: it just made my day to meet somebody like that

228
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: who I admired so much and enjoyed watching so Uh.

229
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: He has definitely urged his time in pro wrestling again, man,

230
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: he went a lot longer than I'm going to. Yeah,

231
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: it's awesome that he gets to end on his terms

232
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: and not someone else's. When you go out on an injury,

233
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: that's not the way you want to go out. So

234
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 2: for him to end it when he wants ended, that's awesome. Yeah.

235
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Well, I know we don't want to take up

236
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 3: too much your time because I know you got to

237
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: a plan of you know, beating l A. Knight even

238
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: that's right, recently an elimination chamber. And here's the last

239
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 3: question where we turned to robots to ask this question.

240
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: We turned to chat GPT to ask aj Styles a

241
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: question and what came up with. If you were to

242
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: have a tag team partner from the Animal Kingdom, who

243
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: would have beat and why? Also would you trust a

244
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: giraffe to execute the perfect phenomenal for arm.

245
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: I don't trust the giraffe to freaking springboard. He's too tall.

246
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: He's gonna screw it. Tall guys can't springboard very well,

247
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: most of them. They are some, so he would really struggle,

248
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 2: but I would want to. I'd probably find like a

249
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: cat could be the king of the juggle, a lion

250
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: right to do his business. Yeah, they're they're agile, didn't

251
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: get after it. Probably one of the stronger animals in

252
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: the cheam. So yeah, that's what I'm going with chat GBT.

253
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 4: We could see, we can see what Ernest Miller's up to.

254
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the cat. He stopped lying, So there

255
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: is that.

256
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: There is that.

257
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: Well we could get game from teching. How's that? There?

258
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 5: You go?

259
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: That's good? Right?

260
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking up video games real quick before I want

261
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 3: to let you go. Your ratings dropped this year from

262
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: last year. How does that make you feel?

263
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: Like?

264
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: How does ratings and video.

265
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: Well, listen, listen. It just goes to show they really

266
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: don't have any idea what they're really rating. But I

267
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: would say, if they're brating this on twenty twenty three,

268
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: I was gone most of the year, so I get

269
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: it now. I'm gonna kick some freaking tail in twenty

270
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 2: twenty four, so my rating better be up or I'm

271
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: gonna freaking be really mean to them. They're gonna they're

272
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: gonna turn into my La Night. Yeah, being a gamer

273
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 2: that it affects my ego a little bit. So we're

274
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: going straighten things up, absolutely.

275
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: Well, we'll make sure that they straighten things up for you. Well,

276
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: we'll start like a hashtag on Twitter, because it seems

277
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: that if you start a hashtag on Twitter for ww Superstars,

278
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 3: it seems to happen. So, oh really, AJ styles ninety

279
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: nine and see if that works out.

280
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: Now, I don't listen, I don't need a ninety nine.

281
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: I'll take a ninety one there, kay, let me, but

282
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: let me finish twenty twenty four and then you can

283
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: decide with it. And yeah, I better look better too,

284
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: I've been with.

285
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, we'll make sure we get out there. Well, AJ,
