Speaker 1: chair for a month. And I know I have. I
Speaker 1: know I have, but I just feel like I've been
Speaker 1: on the road for twenty seven days. I'm still exhausted
Speaker 1: from this past week. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't blame yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't worked this hard in years. I'm not complaining,
Speaker 1: I'm just observing. You know, tired. I'm tired. It was
Speaker 1: a long one.
Speaker 2: It's funny because the last place I saw you wasn't
Speaker 2: in that chair, So I wonder if we're going to
Speaker 2: talk about that today.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about a lot of things. There's
Speaker 1: a lot to discuss, a lot of fans asking questions.
Speaker 1: People this weekend were asking me a ton of questions,
Speaker 1: and I kept saying I'll explain everything on the podcast,
Speaker 1: trying to get people to come on over and listen.
Speaker 1: So if you would, if you are subscribed or following
Speaker 1: me on here, share this episode with your friends and
Speaker 1: family and let us know you care. There's a lot
Speaker 1: to go over. Started the week. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Do you have anything to add
Speaker 1: to this conversation.
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. I'm just I'm glad to be sitting
Speaker 2: here with you. I you know, dying to hear the stories.
Speaker 2: I purposely didn't call you because I wanted to talk
Speaker 2: about everything fresh on the air. Because I mean, we'll
Speaker 2: talk about one of the other reasons I didn't call you,
Speaker 2: but I really wanted to hear this live in front
Speaker 2: of you on the air with the listeners, because I
Speaker 2: know the lead up. But I want to know right
Speaker 2: now how this all went down, What an amazing week
Speaker 2: you had.
Speaker 1: So I did got nothing? Okay, all right, Well, I
Speaker 1: always give you a chance to put yourself over. So
Speaker 1: my week started last week when I Halloween. It was
Speaker 1: out Halloween. We went up to the Rhode Island Comic
Speaker 1: con Convention and I was there from that Thursday to
Speaker 1: Sunday night. That was a long one. That was like
Speaker 1: a four day trip and it was a great turnout,
Speaker 1: thanks to everybody who stopped on my table. Have to
Speaker 1: say that got to spend the weekend with Betty, which
Speaker 1: is always a pleasure. Bubba and Devon just you know,
Speaker 1: good dudes for my brothers. It was. It was just
Speaker 1: a great time. And thanks to Signed by Superstars for
Speaker 1: bringing me into that one. It was a long one,
Speaker 1: but it was fun. You know. We had a really
Speaker 1: good time. Got to go to dinner with Bubba, Divon, Me, Betty,
Speaker 1: Matt Hardy a couple of times, hung out with him
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it was It was a lot
Speaker 1: of work. The hours were very long, but we got
Speaker 1: to hang out afterwards. And I don't get to see
Speaker 1: Bubba and Devon that much, so that was a treat
Speaker 1: for me to spend you know, that time with them.
Speaker 1: So it was it was a good time. But even
Speaker 1: prior to that, let's go back, what two three weeks
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, I was sitting at home. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what day it was. I have all
Speaker 1: the text messages to.
Speaker 2: Prove it was a Wednesday it was, or we had
Speaker 2: just record. Did we just recorded?
Speaker 1: Yeah, trying to see on here. I should have had
Speaker 1: this pulled up because I've gotten so many text messages
Speaker 1: since this all came came up. I was sitting at home.
Speaker 1: It was nine o'clock at night. Here's it here it is,
Speaker 1: excuse me, nine o'clock at night, one Thursday, October seventeenth
Speaker 1: and a fifty four pm is when the first text
Speaker 1: came in. But my phone rang first, and it's it's
Speaker 1: a joke amongst all the workers, like when area code
Speaker 1: two three pops up on your phone and you don't
Speaker 1: know the number, everybody's always like, oh, what's WWA? Call
Speaker 1: it a Stamford, Connecticut berberber. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: We all you know, we always pop nine times out
Speaker 1: of ten. It's always a telemarketer or wrong number or
Speaker 1: something like that. So when I saw my phone ring,
Speaker 1: I said, I was by myself. I just popped myself.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, must be WWE calling for something.
Speaker 1: Well guess what that time it was WWA. So John Cone,
Speaker 1: who I knew back in two thousand and six with
Speaker 1: the fake ec du talent relations, such a nice man.
Speaker 1: I liked him back in two thousand and six, always
Speaker 1: got along and I'm a perfect gentleman, very sweet. It
Speaker 1: was him, and he had called he had got my
Speaker 1: number from Brian Myers, who is a friend of mine.
Speaker 1: We all know that and we're gonna put the actual
Speaker 1: text messages up when we do the YouTube, so I
Speaker 1: don't get any haters telling me I'm lying or I'm
Speaker 1: fabricating the truth. But initially they had contacted me because
Speaker 1: they were working NXT was working the ECW arena in
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, and he wanted to run something
Speaker 1: by me, and I was being very cautious. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is a rib who's ribbed me? Who you know?
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. But it wasn't a rib. But I
Speaker 1: had asked what is this in reference to? And then
Speaker 1: he started explaining everything. You can see these text messages,
Speaker 1: and I guess I should read it because we're on,
Speaker 1: you know, for people listening on iHeart. The initial text
Speaker 1: message was Hi, Francine, this is Jan Kuhne from WWE
Speaker 1: Talent Relations. We crossed paths back in two thousand and
Speaker 1: six when I was a referee for the relaunch of ECW.
Speaker 1: I have something I want to run by you if
Speaker 1: you have a minute. I wrote, Hi, John Hipball as well. Man.
Speaker 1: I asked what this is in reference to, and I
Speaker 1: remembered exactly who John was. He said on Wednesday, November third,
Speaker 1: NXT will be running a show at the ECW Arena.
Speaker 1: We'd like to know if you would be available to
Speaker 1: be a special guest referee for one of the matches.
Speaker 1: It would be with NXT talent Jada Parker and Lulla Vice.
Speaker 1: And then he writes the compensation will be blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I wrote back, really, why me because at this point
Speaker 1: he didn't say anything about the ECW connection. He just
Speaker 1: said it would be at the ECW Arena, So I
Speaker 1: was curious, like, why me? On n XT show it
Speaker 1: didn't make any sense. I also said, November third is
Speaker 1: a Sunday, not a Wednesday. He said, sorry, it's Wednesday,
Speaker 1: November sixth at the ECW Arena. He said, we want
Speaker 1: this to be kind of a celebration of ECW and
Speaker 1: a crossover with NXT. The writers came up with some
Speaker 1: ideas on how to do that, and your name came up.
Speaker 1: Then he says, we also have and he gives me
Speaker 1: a list of names confirmed and he's reaching out to
Speaker 1: a few more. Then he puts more names. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to mention because some people came through and some
Speaker 1: people didn't, he said. He left them messages and I said, okay,
Speaker 1: I have to talk to my husband. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: May I contact you tomorrow? Have it repped in years,
Speaker 1: I'll need to buy a ref outfit. Not thinking at
Speaker 1: the time of my stomach and the problems that I've
Speaker 1: been encountering. Right, So he said, absolutely, call me your
Speaker 1: text anytime. It should be a really fun show. I said, okay,
Speaker 1: let me talk to him. I appreciate you guys thinking
Speaker 1: of me. I'll be in touch. I then talked to
Speaker 1: my husband and he's like, did you not forget about
Speaker 1: the five surgeries that you've had on your abdominals? And
Speaker 1: I was like, well yeah, And he's like, do you
Speaker 1: really think that you can be quick enough with the
Speaker 1: way these girls work? Because these girls are good. Let
Speaker 1: me just tell you these girls can work, right, He's like,
Speaker 1: do you think you can get down and you know,
Speaker 1: make the false finishes and then run around. We didn't
Speaker 1: know what kind of match it was. It ended up
Speaker 1: being a hardcore match and all this stuff. And I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what for me now because my
Speaker 1: core is so weak, just lifting myself up getting into
Speaker 1: the ring is slow. And we've talked about this before.
Speaker 1: When I do the reunion shows and stuff. How we're
Speaker 1: all like a little bit slower than we were with her.
Speaker 1: So I was just like, well, I guess I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be able to do it. So I contacted
Speaker 1: john the next day and I told him here's my problem,
Speaker 1: and I went on to explain what I had to
Speaker 1: my stomach, blah blah blah. He wrote, good morning, no problem,
Speaker 1: we can do something different. Let me talk to Creative
Speaker 1: and get back to you. Then I pitched an idea
Speaker 1: about me being a timekeeper guest timekeeper, and I thought
Speaker 1: of a spot that I can do with one of
Speaker 1: the guys on the card. He said, thanks for the suggestion,
Speaker 1: he'll send it to Creative. Then I get a text
Speaker 1: the following Tuesday, did Johnny Russo get with you about tomorrow?
Speaker 1: This is the night before. I hadn't heard anything for
Speaker 1: like two weeks, so I'm kind of like sitting there thinking, well,
Speaker 1: I'm booked, I think, but I have no idea what
Speaker 1: I'm doing at this time. I went to Rhode Island
Speaker 1: Comic Con for the four days, and I talked and
Speaker 1: I talked and I talked and I lost my voice.
Speaker 1: So on Tuesday, they send me a script to be
Speaker 1: like a backstage interviewer, and I go, ugh, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I can't do this either, shot right because it was bad.
Speaker 1: It was bad. And he's like, did Johnny Russo get
Speaker 1: with you about tomorrow? And then how cute he sends
Speaker 1: me directions to the twenty three hundred arena. It's horrible, okay,
Speaker 1: I said, I haven't heard from him. I wasn't contacted
Speaker 1: since last week. I don't know anything about tomorrow. This
Speaker 1: is at nine o'clock, the night before the arena. So
Speaker 1: he goes, I'll reach out to them now. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: about that, I said, no worries. He rates, Johnny's supposed
Speaker 1: to reach out to you. If you can arrive around
Speaker 1: one o'clock tomorrow, that would be great. Please text me
Speaker 1: when you arrive and I'll meet you. So I had
Speaker 1: talked to Guido because I'm a horrible driver. Everyone who
Speaker 1: knows me knows that I am the shits at driving.
Speaker 1: I can with that. I do hate driving, especially at night.
Speaker 1: I can't really see that well at night. I'm not
Speaker 1: a good driver. So I didn't want to drive alone.
Speaker 1: So I contact Wido. No problem, meet me at exit,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, we'll get it done. So I was like, okay.
Speaker 1: So his call time was at noon, so we were
Speaker 1: gonna meet at eleven. So I was already getting there
Speaker 1: super early, which was fine. Johnny Russo, who is a
Speaker 1: very nice man, got to meet him, lovely person. He
Speaker 1: calls me at ten o'clock or texts me at ten
Speaker 1: o'clock right with the script for the backstage stuff, and
Speaker 1: I type back Johnny, I am so embarrassed to I
Speaker 1: have no voice, Like I don't have a voice, and
Speaker 1: it just wasn't gonna work. And I you know, and
Speaker 1: you'll see the text messages, but I literally say to them,
Speaker 1: if you want to pull me off the show, I
Speaker 1: totally understand, like no heat, because this is on me,
Speaker 1: Like I can't I can't work really what they the
Speaker 1: way they want me to? I can't talk? So what
Speaker 1: am I going to do? You know? I have no idea?
Speaker 1: And a couple of the boys were like, you can
Speaker 1: sit in the front row. That's what they do with
Speaker 1: a lot of the legends. They just put them in
Speaker 1: the front row. I said, well, you know, do they
Speaker 1: really want to pay me the same amount to I
Speaker 1: don't know. So I tell him and he says, uh,
Speaker 1: hold on, now I have to go to Johnny's messages.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry. Prior to this, they make me cut
Speaker 1: a promo, a thirty second promo, put it on socials
Speaker 1: and that's how I announced that I was going to
Speaker 1: be at the show. At that point is when it
Speaker 1: first happened, like the two, three weeks ago whatever it was,
Speaker 1: so I had my voice. I was fine. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to do something. This is great. Everybody saw
Speaker 1: the promo, they retweeted it. It was it was good.
Speaker 1: You know, it was a.
Speaker 2: Good super successful. That was awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really good. They were like, do you
Speaker 1: want us to write something for you? And I was
Speaker 1: like no, I said, I could do thirty seconds by myself.
Speaker 1: That's good. So I said, do you still want me
Speaker 1: to come? Even though I can't talk. This is what
Speaker 1: I'm telling them, and he's like, we'll figure something out tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Let's see how you are in the morning and go
Speaker 1: from there. We could have you sitting in the crowd
Speaker 1: or being a timekeeper, that's what he wrote back. We'll
Speaker 1: make it work, don't worry. So I did offer to
Speaker 1: stay home, but at that point they had put out
Speaker 1: the opening and they put me into opening this show.
Speaker 1: I guess it was too late to pull me. I
Speaker 1: don't know, or they they thought I should be there,
Speaker 1: which you know, I was appreciative of that. So when
Speaker 1: I got to the building, it was eleven twenty or
Speaker 1: my call time was one, so super duper early. Me
Speaker 1: and Weido pull up John. We text John. John comes out,
Speaker 1: exchanged pleasantries and there's a camera crew and they video
Speaker 1: Guido and I going into the building. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: save my voice, so Guido's doing all the talking and
Speaker 1: I'm just pulling my bag behind him, and they videotape
Speaker 1: us going inside and everything, and the arena has changed
Speaker 1: so much, you know since we've worked there before. So
Speaker 1: as soon as we went in from the back, hair
Speaker 1: and makeup took up the whole back of the the arena.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking around. I'm the only girl there so far,
Speaker 1: So I said, can I jump in the makeup chair
Speaker 1: and get it over there? Because there were like, there
Speaker 1: was a ten girl thing, there was tag team, there
Speaker 1: were so many women there, and I said, I don't
Speaker 1: want to have to fight for a spot later. No
Speaker 1: one's here. So I went up to hair and making
Speaker 1: and I was like, would you ladies mind like starting
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes early, and they were so accommodating.
Speaker 1: Oh no, sweetheart, sit in a chair. It's great. I
Speaker 1: got to know them. We you know, exchange pleasantries. And
Speaker 1: as I'm sitting there, Sewn Michaels walks in and I
Speaker 1: was like, I have to say hi to him. He's
Speaker 1: the head hauncho and blah blah blah. Such a nice
Speaker 1: exchange between him and I. He said, we appreciate you
Speaker 1: coming today, thank you for being here, and I said
Speaker 1: thank you for including me in this weird voice, and
Speaker 1: he's looking at me like, oh, okay. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he got the memo that my voice was shot,
Speaker 1: but I did get to see him later on and
Speaker 1: I was telling him, you know, we were in Japan together,
Speaker 1: and he kind of looked at me and he goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember, and I'm thinking, nay, you don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think you do. But I did say to him, I
Speaker 1: apologize for my voice being late this and his response
Speaker 1: was you can just stand there and look pretty, and
Speaker 1: the nineteen year old in me squealed Sean. I loved
Speaker 1: Sean when I was nineteen, so I was squealing. But I.
Speaker 1: You know, My point was they were just so accommodating
Speaker 1: to me. So I had to mention all of this
Speaker 1: because looking back at socials now and seeing like some
Speaker 1: of the old school fans mad and you know, saying, well,
Speaker 1: they could have did something more with you than just
Speaker 1: stuck you in the crowd. Yes, they could have, but
Speaker 1: it was me who couldn't do it. So I just
Speaker 1: wanted to make that perfectly clear. Would I have liked
Speaker 1: to have done more, of course, you know, I would
Speaker 1: have loved to have had an entrance and walked to
Speaker 1: the ring and did something. It just wasn't in the
Speaker 1: cards for me. But just being included was enough for me.
Speaker 1: Like I didn't need any more than that, you know,
Speaker 1: it was it was fun. I got to meet so
Speaker 1: many great people. The girls were so nice. Some of
Speaker 1: them had on ecw attire, which I thought was adorable,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you weren't even born when we were around,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And like I was telling them,
Speaker 1: you know, I started in this building like thirty one
Speaker 1: years ago, and they were like wow, you know, they
Speaker 1: were very very they seemed appreciative that I was there,
Speaker 1: but they were also very nice. I didn't see any caddie,
Speaker 1: you know, with the NXT roster, like, everybody seemed to
Speaker 1: get along and they can work their asses off. The
Speaker 1: talent is amazing there, and they all have really good attitudes,
Speaker 1: so it was very, very nice to just talk to
Speaker 1: some of them and get to know them a little bit.
Speaker 1: I followed I noticed some of them were following me
Speaker 1: on social so I followed a couple of them back,
Speaker 1: and who knows, I mean, it's you never know where
Speaker 1: you're going to see each other down the road. So
Speaker 1: it was real nice to watch how they put the
Speaker 1: show together. You know. There was one promo where it
Speaker 1: was the five girls. They were in front of a couch.
Speaker 1: It was the Babyface team and I was sitting right
Speaker 1: you couldn't see me, but I was watching them shoot
Speaker 1: these promos the whole time, and it was giving me
Speaker 1: flashbacks to when we were downstairs and we were shooting
Speaker 1: our promos. Granted it was four in the morning, but
Speaker 1: that's a different square all together. But just the way
Speaker 1: that they, you know, put the show together, and everyone
Speaker 1: from production to office to the talent, like everyone was
Speaker 1: really really just seemed happy that the legends of ECW
Speaker 1: were there. Very very nice crew, so I couldn't say
Speaker 1: enough about it now. It was a very long day.
Speaker 1: I was extremely tired by the end of it because
Speaker 1: you know, getting there at twenty after eleven. I think
Speaker 1: I got home at eleven ten thirty eleven, So it
Speaker 1: was Yeah, it was a lot. It was almost a
Speaker 1: twelve hour day when you're there, a lot of sitting around,
Speaker 1: a lot of waiting. Plus I did not eat for
Speaker 1: thirty six hours. I was fasting one because I didn't
Speaker 1: want my stomach to be super weird and super bloated
Speaker 1: from you know, the foods that they had, because they
Speaker 1: had a beautiful catering offering for the guys and the
Speaker 1: girls there. And number two, you never want to go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom at the ECW, So I decided I'm
Speaker 1: not going to eat, So I didn't eat for like
Speaker 1: the thirty six hours. I was just sipping my water
Speaker 1: and you know, just hanging out. But I'm really glad
Speaker 1: that I got to do it, and my nerves were
Speaker 1: bad leading up to it, but it all worked out
Speaker 1: in the end. It always works out in the end.
Speaker 1: Like my husband says, it's just there. I am, Yeah,
Speaker 1: are we allowed to show this? I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're gonna do your gimmick on it. You missed them
Speaker 1: announced me? What the hell's wrong with you? Crowd starting
Speaker 1: a nice little e c W champ. I was see.
Speaker 1: I thought my name was going to be announced in
Speaker 1: the building. So I'm sitting there. First of all, they
Speaker 1: walked me out. It was pitch dark. I didn't know
Speaker 1: what section I was in, right, They just led me
Speaker 1: to this empty seat and I'm waiting because usually, like
Speaker 1: on the pay per views, I I thought that they
Speaker 1: announced in the buildings. But they don't do that. They
Speaker 1: don't announce you. They don't I announce you with the
Speaker 1: announced team for TV. That's all right, And I didn't
Speaker 1: know that. So the the cameraman's in front of me
Speaker 1: and he's letting me know, okay, you got a minute
Speaker 1: to come back from commercial. You have thirty seconds. And
Speaker 1: so then he points to me and I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: waiting for my name, and he's like, stand up, and
Speaker 1: I go what because give up? I go now? He
Speaker 1: goes yes, So I stood up and didn't hear it.
Speaker 1: So I said, well what do I do? I said,
Speaker 1: I'll start an ec D up cham.
Speaker 3: Just start a chating know what to do because I'm
Speaker 3: waiting for my name to be called, and it was
Speaker 3: never called, but I was told they did put me
Speaker 3: on the Titan Tron or whatever.
Speaker 1: They call it these days, and I got to watch
Speaker 1: the match up close and personal, which was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. And that was basically it. You know, pretty
Speaker 1: easy work, long day, but easy work for me. And again,
Speaker 1: just happy to be there, happy to be included, and
Speaker 1: met a lot of good people.
Speaker 2: Oh that's great. Yeah, I have some questions if it's
Speaker 2: time to open up the floor a little bit, absolutely,
Speaker 2: So my first question would be about the setup for
Speaker 2: the arena itself, because obviously, you know, I've been there
Speaker 2: for the indie shows that have taken over the arena
Speaker 2: now and have done shows since. I got to think
Speaker 2: that WWE has to expand a little bit more than those.
Speaker 2: So how did they cram all of their sets, you know,
Speaker 2: placement and their production equipment. How did they cram all
Speaker 2: that into that arena?
Speaker 1: I was told that it was seven hundred seats, so
Speaker 1: they downsized the seats because usually you can fit what
Speaker 1: do they fit like twelve fifteen hundred?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was close to fifteen hundred.
Speaker 1: I think there were only seven hundred seats set up,
Speaker 1: seven hundred chairs. I could be wrong, that's what I
Speaker 1: was told.
Speaker 2: But it could get a good gauge from the TV
Speaker 2: how many seats.
Speaker 1: They It looked beautiful on television.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I look fantastic gauge on.
Speaker 1: You know, from from the way the ramp was set up. Now,
Speaker 1: I will say I was hoping it was going to
Speaker 1: be the old school E CW bricks. That's what I
Speaker 1: thought would have been cool, with the ECW logo on
Speaker 1: the top. But I don't know if that's readily available
Speaker 1: to use.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they have it because I know they did.
Speaker 2: Remember they had.
Speaker 1: They did it at the fan fest stuff for WrestleMania. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just thought, you know, maybe that's.
Speaker 2: I like what they did. I thought it looked good.
Speaker 1: Oh it was beautiful. But to get that old school
Speaker 1: ec dub feeling, I was just hoping that they would
Speaker 1: have put up the chain link fences with the bricks
Speaker 1: and the E C double logo. But and I mean
Speaker 1: to get past that in the back was so tight
Speaker 1: between hair and makeup, and I don't even know what
Speaker 1: else was set up. I mean, when I was watching
Speaker 1: there was a camera set up behind me, so I
Speaker 1: don't know if they were filming while we were watching,
Speaker 1: because there was a monitor. Yeah, there was a monitor
Speaker 1: where we were sitting, because I was sitting with Divon
Speaker 1: and there was a monitor. And when you walked maybe
Speaker 1: twenty not even twenty steps, that's where the agent sat,
Speaker 1: and there was like two monitors there and there was
Speaker 1: some kind of I don't know, bord in front of
Speaker 1: them or something that they were using for the show
Speaker 1: because they were doing the show, so that was like
Speaker 1: right there. But then behind me was like hair and
Speaker 1: makeup and whatever else. I know. Once I was done
Speaker 1: with hair and makeup, they grabbed me to do my
Speaker 1: vitals and I had to go in this room. I
Speaker 1: never even knew it was there, So I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming like when they broke the walls down, this little
Speaker 1: room popped up and they made me do my blood
Speaker 1: They took my blood pressure. They put the little gimmick
Speaker 1: on my finger for my heart rate and my oxygen,
Speaker 1: and my blood pressure is always one twenty over eighty,
Speaker 1: and that day it was not. The bottom number was
Speaker 1: too high. Then my pulse was at my thing was
Speaker 1: at one oh six, which was high. So the guy's
Speaker 1: looking at me and he's like, are you nervous? And
Speaker 1: I was just like, well, right now, no, I'm very relaxed.
Speaker 1: I said, uh, but I was anxious to come today.
Speaker 1: Uh So, like I had to be on holding. They
Speaker 1: had to hold me until everything dropped or else I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been able to go out there. And I said, listen,
Speaker 1: let's just talk a minute. I said, uh, I'm not
Speaker 1: doing anything really, but sitting in the crowd, I said,
Speaker 1: are you going to fail me? I's like, no, we're
Speaker 1: not going to fail you. He's like, but you need
Speaker 1: to come down and I was like, oh. So I
Speaker 1: sat there for maybe fifteen minutes or so, and then
Speaker 1: he's like, well, you should really go to a doctor
Speaker 1: and check. Like I'm always perfect like this, it must
Speaker 1: be this environment because I'm fine usually like this is
Speaker 1: you know, I guess my heart rate was a little elevated.
Speaker 1: Just it was just a little overwhelming, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like I didn't know who I was gonna
Speaker 1: meet and what was gonna happen and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But you know, once I and then I just like
Speaker 1: after I saw the doctor, I went out and I
Speaker 1: watched the rehearsals and I got to meet some of
Speaker 1: the guys that were in charge and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: And that's where I saw Sean for the second time,
Speaker 1: and I got to speak to him a little longer.
Speaker 1: And then they started taking pictures of like me and
Speaker 1: Steve Corino, me and Rhino, anybody that was in the area.
Speaker 1: We would they would say, can we get a quick picture.
Speaker 1: They made me go on the ramp take picture, like
Speaker 1: on the ramp, stuff like that. So but to answer
Speaker 1: your question, I think they just shoved stuff in where
Speaker 1: there were openings, like for all their equipment, because there
Speaker 1: was stuff everywhere. It was everywhere. But the end result
Speaker 1: I think looked beautiful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fantastic, I mean, and thank god they had
Speaker 2: that expansion of the twenty three hundred arena extra room.
Speaker 1: I was telling the girls, I was like, you have
Speaker 1: no idea. I said, we had an outhouse practically to
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom. I said, we never had like
Speaker 1: a nice bathroom with mirrors. Because now they're upstairs there's
Speaker 1: like the mirrors. And because the one toilet got clogged
Speaker 1: and the girls like, oh, we got to get somebody
Speaker 1: to unclog the toilet, and I was like, you're lucky
Speaker 1: you have a toilet. They were like why, and they
Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, that's terrible. I was like, oh, girl,
Speaker 1: you don't even.
Speaker 2: Know back in my day.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, and I know this is kind of like a
Speaker 2: you know, obviously there's going to be a little bit
Speaker 2: of a difference, but compared to two thousand and six,
Speaker 2: the advancements in the production, because in two thousand and six,
Speaker 2: I mean, wwe still did a lot of stuff on film,
Speaker 2: so now obviously we're in a digital age. Did you
Speaker 2: see all these different differences in the advancements of the
Speaker 2: production from obviously, John, what eighteen, you're almost eventeen years
Speaker 2: ago at this point we were there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I never really paid attention to that. When I was
Speaker 1: there in two thousand and six, I was like oblivious
Speaker 1: to everything. I didn't know how anything worked back then.
Speaker 1: I didn't see I saw more this past weekend than
Speaker 1: I did for the six months that I was there,
Speaker 1: I think because I never saw, like you see gorilla, right,
Speaker 1: But I never really took the time to look like
Speaker 1: I went behind and was looking at the equipment. I
Speaker 1: was looking at the screens just to see there could
Speaker 1: have been for it. Monitors even I don't even know
Speaker 1: how many monitors, but we had like the one and
Speaker 1: then there was I don't know if it was I
Speaker 1: was sitting at one point and that's the fit Finley.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was him or somebody else.
Speaker 1: But when they would go to commercial, our monitor would
Speaker 1: just turn to black, and somebody goes, didn't you pay
Speaker 1: the bill here at the arena or something whole hall?
Speaker 1: You know, But I, you know, I never really looked
Speaker 1: at how it was ran when I was there before.
Speaker 1: I just didn't take the time. But I had so
Speaker 1: much time on my hands. On Saturday, I was just
Speaker 1: wandering around and I happened to look and just at
Speaker 1: the boards, and you know, they were filing people like
Speaker 1: if you watch the show, they took them the different
Speaker 1: locations around Philly to get those promos that they did.
Speaker 1: So they were doing that throughout the day. And then
Speaker 1: at one point I saw like all of the writers
Speaker 1: and the agents like I met. I met a bunch
Speaker 1: of the agents and then the writers and they were
Speaker 1: like in a line, and I saw them all following
Speaker 1: each other. There were buses outside, so I don't know
Speaker 1: some of the talent dressed on the bus. I don't
Speaker 1: know who was on the buses. I don't know, because
Speaker 1: we didn't like there was this when you went up
Speaker 1: the steps, they separate talent females from males, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's like a because of well, I
Speaker 1: guess they always did it that way, like in ECW
Speaker 1: you can room free. Like if I needed something, I
Speaker 1: would just knock on the door and walk right in.
Speaker 1: But not one male ever came into the locker room
Speaker 1: when I was there, except for when they were shooting
Speaker 1: that promo with the couch that I talked about, and
Speaker 1: they made it sure as everybody dresses, everybody okay, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, and then they came in, but we never
Speaker 1: saw I never saw any male talent the whole time
Speaker 1: I was in the female locker room. I didn't see
Speaker 1: they were on the opposite side in their room, or
Speaker 1: they were outside on these buses, and everything was like
Speaker 1: kind of blocked off with arrows like female talent here,
Speaker 1: male talent here, production here, you know whatever it said.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I was just following signs and
Speaker 1: just wandering around trying to occupy my time.
Speaker 2: Should have given you an editing course.
Speaker 1: While you were there, I used to sit and watch
Speaker 1: Paul ed at the show, you know, which was in
Speaker 1: somebody's house on you know, minimal equipment, but they they
Speaker 1: just had tons of equipment all over the place, and
Speaker 1: it was interesting to just watch the dynamic of the
Speaker 1: show being put together, and you know, how they did
Speaker 1: promos and who was kind of the ringleader of uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the promos, and how how they gave their
Speaker 1: verbiage and stuff like that. I just I'm intrigued by
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So I thought all the girls
Speaker 1: did a great job, and the guys as well, Like
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys were talking to me in
Speaker 1: the back and saying they were fans of BCW, and
Speaker 1: you know, it was just fun. It was fun to
Speaker 1: get to know them a little bit and see them
Speaker 1: work so nice.
Speaker 2: Before we get to my little wrap up on a
Speaker 2: couple of questions, I have, let's take a quick break. Okay,
Speaker 2: clows out the n XT NXTCW like that.
Speaker 1: I I came up with that.
Speaker 2: Now she clows out with that experience. Right after we.
Speaker 4: Come back from these commercial messages, all.
Speaker 1: Right, we are back discussing the Nxtec W crossover from
Speaker 1: last Wednesday evening. So you said you had another question, or.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one that I thought could be an
Speaker 2: interesting one, maybe thinking outside the box a little bit.
Speaker 2: One of the things I saw people talking about a
Speaker 2: lot is NXT obviously being you know, the new wave
Speaker 2: of how wrestling is evolving, right, and ECW was always
Speaker 2: the counter culture of professional wrestling. It was kind of
Speaker 2: an interesting meet in the middle kind of experiment, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Do you think this is how
Speaker 2: ECW would have evolved had ECW been around, was to
Speaker 2: be like NXT because you had a little bit of everything,
Speaker 2: And we always talk about this is how ECW kind
Speaker 2: of was. If you look really deep, there was a
Speaker 2: little bit of everything. And when you looked at this show,
Speaker 2: you had your legends, yes, because it was obviously the tribute,
Speaker 2: but then you had some of these guys doing these
Speaker 2: amazing moves and these high flying spots. But then you
Speaker 2: also had hardcore and you had these you know, trash
Speaker 2: cans and Kendo sticks and this and that. So when
Speaker 2: I saw that as a criticism, maybe that, oh ECW
Speaker 2: wasn't like NXT. Do you think maybe it kind of
Speaker 2: was if it was around today and had stayed ECW.
Speaker 1: I don't know because with the with the hardcore match
Speaker 1: in the beginning with the girls, I wasn't sure if
Speaker 1: they were billing that as a hardcore match or korch
Speaker 1: street fight because we were in the ECW arena. Like
Speaker 1: do they do that on NXT a lot with the females.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, you know. Plus, we didn't have a
Speaker 1: women's division, so that's a difference right there, Like we
Speaker 1: didn't have that women's wrestling that they do today now.
Speaker 1: IFVCW was still around, you have to adapt with the times.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure Paul or whoever else would be running
Speaker 1: in in twenty twenty four would have to start using
Speaker 1: female wrestlers because I mean, it's the trend right now.
Speaker 1: They main event at the show. It's hot, you know,
Speaker 1: people love to see the females work and they're good
Speaker 1: at what they do. They can hang with the guys.
Speaker 1: So I think if ECW was still around today, that's
Speaker 1: the one thing that would be implemented in there would
Speaker 1: be a female division for wrestling because we just didn't
Speaker 1: have that back then.
Speaker 2: Interesting, yeah, obviously see that. I can't imagine ECW might
Speaker 2: put another little spin on it too in the ECW way,
Speaker 2: but again, business has evolved, so.
Speaker 1: Of course, and the unique part about this was we,
Speaker 1: you know, wednes we were on Wednesday evening. NXT's usually
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, so we were on Wednesday because of the election.
Speaker 1: They went head to head with a W and they
Speaker 1: actually beat a W in the ratings. So people are
Speaker 1: talking that up to well, was it the ECW twist
Speaker 1: that put them over the top. Who knows. I don't know.
Speaker 1: All I do know is that the ECW themed show
Speaker 1: was victorious that night.
Speaker 4: So I think a little bit of both.
Speaker 2: I think it's gotta be a little bit of both
Speaker 2: because I think everybody was used perfectly from ECW. I
Speaker 2: think that the matches that they put on the card
Speaker 2: were executed to the best that they possibly could have been.
Speaker 2: And if I watch and this is not me being
Speaker 2: a AW hater, if I watch an AW show, even
Speaker 2: if it has the mix of the legends, it doesn't
Speaker 2: hold me like the NXT show held me, because I
Speaker 2: think it's that WWE polishing that the show has, because
Speaker 2: even though it's got the NXT branding, you're still watching
Speaker 2: a WWE run production. And I think that's the difference
Speaker 2: maker is if, Okay, if I have the choice to
Speaker 2: watch A or B and A is a WWE production,
Speaker 2: if you're a longtime fan, I think you're gonna go A.
Speaker 2: But remember this as well. You were on the CW.
Speaker 2: You were not on Sci Fi or USA or a
Speaker 2: cable network.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, there's a difference there for sure. But I again, overall,
Speaker 1: I just want to thank WWE. I want to thank WWE, NXT,
Speaker 1: Sean Michaels, everybody that was involved, John con, Johnny Russo,
Speaker 1: everybody for including me because I you know, I've said
Speaker 1: it before, a lot of these WWE ECW throwbacks I'm
Speaker 1: not a part of, and this time being called, I
Speaker 1: was just like wow, I was literally surprised I got
Speaker 1: a phone call because I've never really included in their
Speaker 1: vision of ECW. If you look back to everything that
Speaker 1: they've done, they tend to use the same people over
Speaker 1: and over again, and I think this time was a
Speaker 1: little sprits of maybe a couple people that you would
Speaker 1: say hey, because everybody in the comments it's like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, haven't seen her in forever. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of still around, but I haven't been on TV.
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't been on TV in years, and
Speaker 1: so to pop up it was nice and it was
Speaker 1: nice to be included, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1: So you know, I did didn't think I would be
Speaker 1: I didn't ask for it, but they contacted me so
Speaker 1: that that was very, very nice and humbling, and I
Speaker 1: was just happy to be a part of it. And
Speaker 1: that's all I can say about it.
Speaker 4: You know who had my favorite non Queen of Extreme
Speaker 4: moment of the night.
Speaker 2: Of course it popped best for you. I mean you
Speaker 2: were my favorite, of course stand out of course you
Speaker 2: know my my other one was no rhino. Rhino Rhino
Speaker 2: was all.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: That was great. They gave the old school E c
Speaker 2: W blackout and Robert Stone had the line of the
Speaker 2: night when he said, what is it they don't pay
Speaker 2: the bills around here? Didn't you say that before? Is that?
Speaker 2: Was that the black el line you used before?
Speaker 1: Was that? They also said that in the back when
Speaker 1: the he said that in the ring when they cut
Speaker 1: the Yeah, when they cut the lights. Robbie Soone is
Speaker 1: one of the nicest guys on the planet. I really
Speaker 1: really enjoy him. He's great. He took that spear like
Speaker 1: a champ. I enjoyed. The spot that I enjoyed the most,
Speaker 1: I think is when they had Guido up for what
Speaker 1: did they give him a power bomb? They held him
Speaker 1: up for something, and as they're holding him up, he
Speaker 1: makes the sign of the Cross. To watch that one,
Speaker 1: it was so fun, just everything was just so fun
Speaker 1: to watch because I watched the show from the beginning
Speaker 1: and to the end, and I thought it was a
Speaker 1: really well put together show and I thought it was
Speaker 1: a great tribute to us as well, and again just
Speaker 1: really really happy to be a part of it. There's
Speaker 1: nothing else I can say. It was. It was a
Speaker 1: great day.
Speaker 2: Did you get to hear the music being played at
Speaker 2: the beginning the theme when they were uh.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they played the intro and I hear the
Speaker 1: music and I who did I say? It was a Carino.
Speaker 1: I said it to somebody and I was like, this
Speaker 1: might sound corny, but I just got chills and I
Speaker 1: felt like it was nineteen ninety six all over again.
Speaker 1: And every one of our guys was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out. I'm about to cry. I'm getting chills,
Speaker 1: Like we all felt it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: It was just like in Unison. We all kind of
Speaker 1: looked at each other and we were like, wow, because
Speaker 1: we're in that building, we're at the ECW arena, you're
Speaker 1: hearing the music. We know we're going out there, and
Speaker 1: it's like, what year is this? Like ECW will never
Speaker 1: ever die. We're never gonna die. We might die physically,
Speaker 1: but that company is never gonna die ever. And I
Speaker 1: don't want it to. I don't want it to because
Speaker 1: then Okay, so then after that, I was home for
Speaker 1: a day and then I got picked up and me
Speaker 1: the Sandman, Todd and Tyler went to uh Long Island
Speaker 1: and we did the big event and in our row
Speaker 1: it was all E C. Dub It was Me, Todd Hack,
Speaker 1: Steve Corino, Jerry Lynn, Shane Douglas. I saw Kimona there.
Speaker 1: We were all Bubba Devon, we were all in like
Speaker 1: the same line, and we were like, this is the
Speaker 1: E CW line, this is this is all of us,
Speaker 1: and we were just there having such a good time
Speaker 1: and hanging out and I mean, yeah, which now I
Speaker 1: feel so bad. Bubba Tech Bubba and I had a
Speaker 1: conversation and He's just like sometimes I kind of feel
Speaker 1: left out and I'm like why, and he's like, because
Speaker 1: you guys take these pictures and I'm never in them.
Speaker 1: And I totally forgot. His table was maybe six tables
Speaker 1: down and they grabbed us and just started taking pictures.
Speaker 1: And I should have went and got Bubba. So after
Speaker 1: I put that up on Twitter, Bubba goes, see this
Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I said, from now on, I'm gonna grab you in,
Speaker 1: Devon for sure, because it's so quick, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like this, we that group, we were all
Speaker 1: sitting together.
Speaker 2: And like we've seen it. I've seen how it gets done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and it's totally noose. It's always noose
Speaker 1: because then he jumps in. So he takes it with
Speaker 1: his camera and then texts everybody this the picture and
Speaker 1: then we can do what we want with it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Bubba and Devon should have totally been in that picture,
Speaker 1: but they were down. They were down like six tables
Speaker 1: from us, and I don't know, they were probably with
Speaker 1: fans because they're over and you know, we were just
Speaker 1: hanging out, so we all took a picture. So but again,
Speaker 1: when I get to do these things and hang out
Speaker 1: with these guys. And it was so nice because Steve
Speaker 1: Carino and I reconnect it through this, and we exchanged
Speaker 1: phone numbers and now we're going to try to, you know,
Speaker 1: meet up for a Disney day because I was very
Speaker 1: close with Steve back in the day and you kind
Speaker 1: of lose touch with people. But you know, now we
Speaker 1: found each other again. So I said, well, you're not
Speaker 1: going to get rid of me this time, and He's like, no,
Speaker 1: it's going to be great. So it's it was nice.
Speaker 1: It's nice to just reconnect with people. I'm blessed. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy to have these guys as my friends and
Speaker 1: my brothers. And I don't know, I can cry just
Speaker 1: thinking about it. I was really happy this week.
Speaker 2: It was a very profound thing you said about three
Speaker 2: minutes ago. But like I've said a million times, you
Speaker 2: don't hear him channing WCW. No, you don't hear him
Speaker 2: channing a wa. You just hear E C dub in
Speaker 2: your ears.
Speaker 1: That tells you something right there, you know. And I
Speaker 1: just I am so happy to be an original and
Speaker 1: so proud to be a part of something so special.
Speaker 1: I know that sounds corny as hell, but not men.
Speaker 1: People can say they're an ECW original, and I can
Speaker 1: and that makes me happy. So you don't like it,
Speaker 1: you can bite me, all right.
Speaker 2: You were with the guy the other day he said,
Speaker 2: you don't like you could suck it so you could
Speaker 2: steal that one. Was there anybody else in ECW at
Speaker 2: the big event? You saw anybody related to CW that
Speaker 2: was there?
Speaker 1: Anyone trying to think?
Speaker 2: Nobody?
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned everybody that was in my row.
Speaker 2: Anybody else that not in the row?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't. I didn't leave my table.
Speaker 1: We got there and we had to what our stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, really quickly because.
Speaker 2: It was that's a big venue too, that that you
Speaker 2: guys are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really big. And I didn't I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I did see JBL and it's he a big dude.
Speaker 1: I kind of like he hugged me and I kind
Speaker 1: of melted into his like it was like whoa I got?
Speaker 1: I saw dustin Rhodes, gave him a hug. MJF winked
Speaker 1: at me because he was in full MJF mood screaming
Speaker 1: at fans. So didn't say hello, but I got the
Speaker 1: little winki poo as he walked by, not to break
Speaker 1: character and I laughed at that. I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of whose who am I missing?
Speaker 2: There's one guy at that show who was very instrumental
Speaker 2: in ECW's growth.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh my god, Oh my god, that's a whole nother.
Speaker 1: So we get there. There is a line blocking our
Speaker 1: tables from going out the door practically, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this has to be Paul's line, right, But when you
Speaker 1: looked at the front of the line, it was like
Speaker 1: the mighty and grand our Wizard of Oz or all
Speaker 1: powerful Wizard of Oz. There was a curtain he was behind.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you couldn't see him. Well, I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 1: so I think George Tahino's was like And initially they're like,
Speaker 1: they won't let me back there. So I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: could you imagine we go try and go back there,
Speaker 1: and they're like denied. I would feel so cheap, like,
Speaker 1: So we never went back there. We never call him
Speaker 1: just it just wasn't in the cards for us. He
Speaker 1: never came from behind that curtain, and they had like
Speaker 1: I guess security or someone blocking That's what I was told.
Speaker 1: So I was just like, well, and like the boys
Speaker 1: were like, we're not going back there, and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to go by myself, and I was afraid they
Speaker 1: were going to say no. I would have been mortified.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I didn't see him. I didn't see him.
Speaker 2: Pay no attention to the man behind that curtain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see the mighty powerful oz like's he's nowhere
Speaker 1: to be seen, none of us.
Speaker 2: Solemn Wow, incredible. Well if you paid like two hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty, no what he.
Speaker 1: Was charging, but I tell you it was a lot.
Speaker 1: His line was out the door. Your boy William Shatner was.
Speaker 2: There, Yes, I know. I heard he was and I
Speaker 2: tried to get him there about a year ago.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he was there, Pac Me and Jones something
Speaker 1: with Hack at the bar. I don't know what.
Speaker 2: That's another story they'll probably Oh my, I can't even
Speaker 2: imagine that's.
Speaker 1: Story happened there. Lawrence Taylor LT. Was there, but again
Speaker 1: I didn't really get to see anyone because we weren't late.
Speaker 1: But we didn't have much time to set up. So
Speaker 1: by the time we set up, there were already fans
Speaker 1: waiting at the table and we had to get going
Speaker 1: and then we left. I think we left by three
Speaker 1: o'clock to come home.
Speaker 2: So is it crazy. We've been talking about November all
Speaker 2: year basically, and now here it is in November. It
Speaker 2: is the nitty gritty of the November appearances.
