And uh man, 248 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 4: I got so many great stories. One story I can 249 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 4: tell was the reason I before I found out what 250 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: yngling was, I used to drink Coors Light. That's that's 251 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 4: my go to now. And when I lived in Missouri, 252 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 4: that's a Budweiser state, because that's where Budweiser's from, and 253 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 4: I hate Budweiser. You know, I'm born and raised in Milwaukee. 254 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 4: It was Miller Lite all the time, Miller products, so 255 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 4: Harley was a big Bud drinker, but Terry Funk was 256 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 4: a co Coors light drinker. So he had brought Terry 257 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 4: Funk in for a show and stuff, and we're at 258 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 4: the bar afterwards. We're all drinking and I kept telling 259 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 4: Terry like, I hate this Budweiser man. He's like, oh, 260 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 4: here drink corps like so that's why I started drinking. Well, 261 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 4: we end up getting pretty drunk. And there's this bar. 262 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 4: It used to be called Buzzer McGee and had two levels, 263 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 4: so it had like the main floor then I had 264 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 4: like a little balcony area where people could hang out. 265 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 4: So Terry, me and Harley are all sitting down on 266 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 4: the floor area and up on top is his balcony 267 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 4: and Harley pulls these darts out. Now I don't know 268 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 4: where he got the darts from, but it was a 269 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 4: bucket full of darts. And it wasn't like you know, 270 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 4: you go to a bar you see the plastic tip 271 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 4: darts and stuff. These were the steel tipped English darts. 272 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: Oh man. 273 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 4: And he goes Terry, what should we do? And Terry's like, 274 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 4: I got an idea, and Terry takes what they start 275 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,599 Speaker 4: throwing them up in the balcony at people up in 276 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 4: the balcony, and I'm sitting going what is going on? 277 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 4: And they're like, come on, kid, do this. 278 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 3: So here's the three of us throwing darts at people 279 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 3: in the balcony. And then people turn around and look 280 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 3: and like we'd all just sit there like nothing's happening. 281 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 3: After a while, like people realize it's Harley, and instead 282 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 3: of being mad, they're all joking. They come down by 283 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: around a drinks for everybody. They're shaking Harley's hand and 284 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 3: they walk away and look like you. 285 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 4: Can get away with anything like this is crazy. 286 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 6: I've ever heard that story.

But that's afterwards, like after we 664 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 4: beat them and beat them up, then we'll crack open 665 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 4: the beers and have a good time and reminisce. But 666 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 4: during the match, you know, we're gonna beat them up, 667 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 4: you know, like we're like literally the biggest tag team 668 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 4: and Ring of Honor and we're we want to get 669 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 4: to Tag Team Gold. They just happen to be in 670 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 4: the way of that before I beat. 671 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 5: Them up before, you know, and you know, and that 672 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 5: that's kind of you know, you think about it when 673 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 5: you guys come out. We've seen you guys numerous times 674 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 5: when you come to Nashville and you have fun with 675 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 5: the crowd and you're interacting, and I think, like you said, 676 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 5: it gives you a little bit more focus when there's 677 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 5: not a crowd there because you're not you're you're able 678 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 5: to focus a little bit more than the drunk guy behind. 679 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: You, Like, hey, let's get a beer. 680 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 4: You know, the. 681 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 6: Yells at me drunkingly from the corner when I'm in 682 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 6: the ring. 683 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 4: Well, it's it's weird. With the new rules, we're not 684 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 4: allowed to bring the beer to the ring with us, 685 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 4: Like yeah, like the open beers and stuff. The commission 686 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 4: doesn't want any of that because the protocols, which you 687 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 4: know what, fine, but again that's just that makes us focus, 688 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 4: you know, like we're having beers beforehand, we're having beers 689 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 4: after but during you know, okay, cool, let's focus on this. 690 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 4: Let's uh, you know, punch people in the mulls and 691 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 4: win some matches. 692 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: And that's that's the way it is. 693 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 5: And you know, you sit here and think about it, 694 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 5: it's like they're in your way to going after the 695 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,959 Speaker 5: Ring of Honor Tag team championships. So the next question 696 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 5: is is what's next for the bouncers and Ring of 697 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 5: Honor and pro wrestling landscape like after this Saturday, because 698 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 5: I'm putting it out in the universe.

And just 716 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 6: because somebody has an impressive resume doesn't mean they can't 717 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 6: be taken down a peg. 718 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 4: Yeah it can.
