Speaker 1: On today's episode, the Late Great, Jeff, Wait about I said,

8
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: you want me to introduce you, not so late Great.

9
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: This is Wrestling with Friends. Now that those introductions are

10
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: all over, We've already discussed Monday Night Row. We got

11
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: an early jump on it last week. Jeff, I think

12
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: the world finally agrees with us and understands the value

13
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: and importance of Sammy Zane. Just how just how great

14
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: he truly is. His greatness has has has flowed off

15
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: him like sweat from a forehead and dripped upon the

16
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: USO's improving their greatness as well. Everyone in the bloodline

17
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: is great, even though it's broken and falling apart. He's

18
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: improved not only the w w E, but professional wrestling

19
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: as a whole. Yeah, we disagree. I agree, and you

20
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: know what's funny is like I don't give myself credit

21
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: for this. I give you credit for this, Freddy, if you,

22
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: if anyone, if anyone goes back and listens to this podcast,

23
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: it's insane how many predictions we've made, Like and and

24
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm giving me but like it's in like you were

25
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: putting Zamp Sammy Jane over saying he's the face of

26
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: the French and and I was laughing because I thought

27
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: you were being ironic, and it's proven to be true,

28
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: like he's now like the most over guy in wrestling.

29
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: I was talking about Vince will be back with the

30
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: you know in the Royal Rumble. You'll see it, Like

31
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: it was like literally that would have been, by the way,

32
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: the greatest. Like you've predicting all these wrestlers becoming the

33
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, big stars. We've we've got quite a track

34
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: record of making some good predictions here. Well, I've got

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: I've got some inside people that have been feeding the

36
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 1: information at w w E. His name is Mike Blankenstein,

37
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: a w there's this girl named Erica Philonovits and both

40
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: that's how we s that's how we keep the people informed.

41
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I invest in this show, Jeff. I know here, I

42
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,440

Speaker 1: their names out there like that. They don't mind now

48
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: we I've actually gotten way more wrong than right, but

49
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I will say this. I freaking love sammy'sane.

50
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that he's my Marlon Brando. Um. And I

51
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: met him at a house show and I was there

52
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: with Baron Corbin, just talking. I never met Sammy before,

53
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: and and he came up and introduced himself while I

54
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: was chatting with Baron, and then Baron had to go

55
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: and get his match ready for that night's match. And

56
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: this is years ago, I mean years ago, bro, and

57
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: we just sat Sammy and I just sat on like

58
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: a crate full of like you know, gear basically, and

59
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: we talked for I don't know an hour and thirty minutes,

60
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: like I missed the whole show, basically didn't see Baron's match.

61
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: I didn't see and I saw Roman. This was before

62
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: they ever had a storyline. Was like sitting by himself

63
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: watching the monitor intently. He was locked in and focused.

64
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: Back then, he wasn't even champ yet. I don't think

65
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: maybe he was, I can't remember. And we just said that,

66
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: and we talked about everything. We talked about life or

67
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: show business, the history of this business, the history of wrestling.

68
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: I just remember going like, man, I love this freaking dude.

69
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: It's a shame the company will like never freaking push

70
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: this guy, like he's got so much going on, but

71
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: they're never going to do that again. This is like

72
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: eight years ago, probably nine years ago. And to see

73
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: how wrong I was, just based on fate and circumstances, right,

74
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: But to see him become and I don't know if

75
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: he's a permanent face by his own words, he had

76
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: that great interview with Ariel Hellawani where he said, for

77
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: a year, I could be the face for a year,

78
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: but I don't think I could have a three, four

79
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: or five, six, seven year run like a John Cena,

80
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: because I know who I am I'm not that guy.

81
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: I look like me, is what he said. And I

82
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: remember watching that and being like, this is the most humble,

83
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: honest interview a wrestler has ever given, and he's doing

84
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: it on purpose, in character. And when we saw him

85
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: on Friday Night SmackDown and have him with that conversation

86
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: with Paul Hayman, which I I know you loved it.

87
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: It was a little muddy in the middle, but I

88
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: didn't care because he still got his message through. But

89
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: I know we're skipping a w We're gonna get back

90
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: to that, but let's talk about that opening segment. Paul Hayman,

91
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: Sammy Sane, you always remember weird crap that I don't

92
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: What did you like about this segment? I know you liked.

93
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna ask if you like. I just

94
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for a time that I'm not going to

95
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: that that I'll have some sort of criticism for Paul Hayman.

96
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: The guy is incredible. It just continues to impress me.

97
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: It's like with MJF in these last year or so,

98
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: like I've watched MGF and igo he did it again,

99
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: but like Paul Hayman has been doing it forever. In fact,

100
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: this is a little bit of a side quest. But

101
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: just this week I saw um a TikTok um that

102
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: was like from the Montreal screw Job documentary, like when

103
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: they like some somebody made a thing about the Montreal

104
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: screw drop. I don't know what it was on, but

105
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: this was just like a sixty second TikTok And even

106
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: Paul Hayman's opinion about that was so good and perfect.

107
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, if I'm Vince mcman, I owned

108
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: the business, and if I say you're gonna drop the belt,

109
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: there's no discussion. It's not like, well I don't want

110
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: to drop the belt. Listen, I so we don't want

111
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: to drop the belt. We'll find a way to get

112
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: the belt off you. It's my business. I decide who.

113
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: And it was like he's just direct and great, and

114
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: even when he's being kind of an insensitive jerk, you're like,

115
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: he's right. So I very rarely disagree with Paul him

116
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: and I think he's amazing, and this this was no different.

117
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: Whether he's literally telling Cody Rhodes the meanest thing I've

118
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: ever heard in my life, or telling Sammy's Van just

119
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: the truth. I mean, he's he's incredible. I mean he

120
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: did it again. Yeah, he's a painter out there. Man.

121
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: It's crazy to see someone not It's not that he's

122
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: been that good his entire career that amazes me, because

123
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: he hasn't been. He keeps getting better, he keeps telling

124
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: better stories. His promos keep getting smarter and smarter, and

125
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: he'll allow the audience to catch up with him, right,

126
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: He'll allow them to catch up with whatever stick he's doing,

127
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: and then he'll punish them for it a couple of

128
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: weeks later and start something new and have a new

129
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: take and a new rhythm to his promo, and instead

130
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: of being angry, he'll be tender and sensitive. And then

131
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: once you get used to that, then he's gonna cut

132
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: your throat for getting used of that. He is by

133
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: far the best voice in professional wrestling you could probably

134
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: argue ever all time as far as his ability to

135
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: communicate a message and make you want to watch a

136
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: fight without even having to be in the fight himself. Also,

137
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: no matter who he's repping too. Like, that's the crazy

138
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: part two. It's like, even if I don't like the

139
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: guy that he's repping, I like Paul Hayman. Yeah, but

140
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: it didn't. He couldn't get right backo tried. So he's

141
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: not He's not batting a thousand, but some missions are impossible.

142
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: That is true. He had, you know, basically the same

143
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: promo with Cody Rhodes on Monday, and then had a

144
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: completely different promo with Sammy'sane that's supposed to be the

145
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: exact aim on Friday. This is how you could argue

146
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: he's being overused. But I just don't know how you

147
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: would sell me on that argument because his promos are

148
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: so different, just four freaking days apart. Four days, and

149
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: he's a completely different human. And credit to Sammy Zane

150
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: for taking a completely different tack than Cody did. Cody

151
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: sort of nodded a lot to Paul Hayman, acknowledged what

152
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,239
Speaker 1: he was saying is hurtful but true. Sammy was aggressive

153
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: and hot and in his face. Cody's made you feel like, oh,

154
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: this is the beginning of a supervillain story because when

155
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: he fails, he's gonna turn heel and be with Paul

156
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: Hayman and that's gonna be insane. Sammy was like, you,

157
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: I will never be with you, Paul Haman never. In fact,

158
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to sabotage you. I'm gonna sabotage the bloodline.

159
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: Oh wait, I don't have to. Y'all are already sabotaging yourselves.

160
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Juso split, Who do you think Jimmy's gonna sigh to it?

161
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: The bloodline that's falling apart or his identical twin brother

162
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: that he shared the womb with, Like he just goes

163
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: in on him and wasn't having any of pulse bs.

164
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: Now they blew this with the camera shot at the end.

165
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: Instead of being on Sammy's face, they went around to

166
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: pose half shaped see it. Well, Sammy's like yelling and

167
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: giving you passion and you're just like, uh, all right,

168
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: but look they've been taking chances. I'll rack that one

169
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: up to they took a chance. Just please don't do

170
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: it again. Sorry, go ahead, you wouldn't. Well, it's gonna

171
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: say like in a movie, like that's such a badass

172
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: move for the guy to like pull you in close

173
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: and like say some stuff into your ear, Like that's

174
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: a that's such a bossom. But now when you have

175
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: a microphone and you're shouting, you know you don't need

176
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: to pull me in and put it in my ear.

177
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: You know, like it's like the whole stadiums listening. Imagine

178
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: Marlon Brando's giving you this sweet monologue in a movie, right,

179
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: and let's say the monologue is four minutes. Okay, let's

180
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: say it's about six and a half seven pages. And

181
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: within this monologue you see opportunities to cut away to

182
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: the person he's he's speaking to. For wrestling fans of

183
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: monologue as a promo. It's a long speech, and while

184
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: he's speaking to this other actor, you find moments you

185
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: cut away and you see the actor, you know, agreeing

186
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: with some of the things he says. Other things he

187
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: finds offensive. What the f bro you think? But he

188
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: doesn't say it. It's just a reaction, right, And Marlon

189
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: is still talking. And then the camera zooms in nice

190
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: and close to Marlin and he's coming around to the

191
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: end of his speech. He's just says something awesome, godfather.

192
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: You're like when he says, you know this favor I

193
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: cannot do or something like that, Right, it'd be like

194
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: it's the equivalent of going but this favor and then

195
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: cutting away to the butcher or whoever it was, and

196
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: then you just hear Marlon Brando, I cannot do, you'd

197
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: be like, what the hell man he's got away with

198
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: the Godfather are doing that? They cut away from the

199
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: lead of their movie at the most critical line he

200
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: has is like not seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger's I'll be back.

201
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: It's just so stupid. But again that they took a shot.

202
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: Respect you took a chance. But we learn from our mistakes,

203
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: our choices, and we push forward and improve upon them.

204
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: So hopefully someone hears this and they don't do that again.

205
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: The glue, what do you what makes you think that

206
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: Samy Zane sincerely? What makes you believe that he is?

207
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: Or what do you think? The reason is that he's

208
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: so over right now? Like why now? I think he

209
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: puts across the most human professional wrestler on television today.

210
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: You don't sense any air about him in any ways,

211
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: shape or form. You don't sense any character from him

212
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. I think he comes

213
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: across with humility. I think he comes across very, very flawed,

214
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: And I think those are our personality traits that are

215
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: not only easy to relate to, but easier to get behind,

216
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: and it makes all of us love him. Except this

217
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: amazing video someone set me of a kid who was

218
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: so upset when Sammy betrayed the Blood Lives that wait,

219
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: did I send it to you? You may have sent

220
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: it to me, and down syndrome is like, he's so

221
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: invested in the story that he's bro he's so committed

222
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: and he's just screet what why would you do? It? Said?

223
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: They gave you everything? And he is genuinely broken and

224
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: his mom's like, it's okay, it's okay, and she even

225
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: like loses patience, but then like gets it back together

226
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: because she just doesn't want him to like be wrecked over.

227
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: The family is great, like, I'm not expecting to get

228
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: over it, but we're gonna get through this together through it.

229
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: And then she goes, what do you What can I do?

230
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: What do? He goes, I want to hug from Sammy's aye,

231
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: and she goes, that's not gonna happen, but what else going?

232
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: I was like, that is such a mom moment. That's

233
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: so exactly how my mom would be. So yeah, man,

234
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: these characters have connected with us, and Sammy especially, and

235
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: through Sammy, it's helped me and I know a bunch

236
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: of other people connect or reconnect with the USO's connect

237
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: to Roman and and respect the position he's in more

238
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: because there's still like we're a lot of anti Roman

239
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: people before this story started, because he was a chosen

240
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: one type personality, right, Um, So, I think there's so

241
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: much stacked against the Sammy Zane in the beginning of

242
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: his career that no one ever thought he would be

243
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: in a pay per view match, or they don't have

244
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: they're not pay per views anymore. On a peacock match

245
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: for the w w A Universal Championship against a guy

246
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: who's the face of the company Kenny Win Sure, Willie,

247
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but like he said, he could

248
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: be the face of the company for a year. Helly

249
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: damn here has been already without the belt. I'm wondering

250
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: if that's why he's overs because it's kind of like

251
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: the like the Becky Lynch thing, like he's just been

252
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: over looked in a way or just kind of he's

253
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: been so he's always been there, but he's never been

254
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: the guy. And now everyone's going that should be the

255
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: person because time, you know, they've they've paid their dues

256
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: and they've been around and nobody gave him any love

257
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: and now now we're recognizing it, and is the only

258
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: thing I can think. I think that's a big part

259
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: of it. But I also think of an equally big

260
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,119
Speaker 1: part of it that separates him from Becky is Becky's beautiful.

261
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: It's hard to relate to her if you're if you're

262
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: the every person right as far as how you're perceived

263
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: in society, And that's a big part of our lives.

264
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: Sammy's John McClain from Die Heart, Right, he's the every minute. Yeah,

265
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: how how the hell can a cop from New York

266
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: beat an entire highly trained terrorist force that's taking over

267
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: the Knaka Tomy Plaza with the German assassin guy who

268
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: was really a ballet answer in her life, shout out

269
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: to that guy, the guy who played Carl. How's he

270
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna beat that guy? You know how? Because he's got

271
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: a bigger freaking heart. He doesn't know how to fight,

272
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: but he could take more than you. You know, he

273
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have the training you have, But you have to

274
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: kill him or he will not stop where you draw

275
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: the line. He's just got started. And we like to

276
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: think that way about ourselves. We like to think that

277
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: if we were in that situation. Here, here's a side

278
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: quest for you. This is this will let everyone know

279
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:24,480

00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,320

Speaker 1: to write, say the president's wife you mean Hillary Clinton? Yeah,

287
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: but they do it every year. It's not just for

288
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: President Clinton, whoever, the president, whoever it is you're saying. Yeah,

00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: I've ever told that my wife, but I don't think

298
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: I've never said that. So anyway, so what the hell

Speaker 1: So I get dressed up and we go and we

304
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: do this like photo op, this obligatory photo op with

305
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: the president. I asked to meet you. He's like checking

306
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: out the wife and come on, bro easy of course,

307
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: and his wife was like sort of very robotic, you

308
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: almost like creep me out right. We take the photo

309
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: and then move on. I'm like, okay, that's finally over.

310
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: I'll have to deal with any more politicians tonight. Meet

311
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: Mark anton Meet Mark Anthony. He was gonna sing. There's

312
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: like some tiny little country kid. It was popular back then.

313
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: He was gonna sing. And so they take me to

314
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: my seat. This seat next to me isn't taken. On

315
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: my right and on my left isn't taken, and all

316
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, to see start to fill up, and

317
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: then President Clinton sits down right next to me. He's

318
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: on my right. Okay, so he's like, hey, good to

319
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: see you again. I'm like, yeah, all right, yeah, good

320
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: to see again. I'll crap that I'm sitting next to

321
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: the president, and my wife comes down and sits next

322
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: to me in between like her introducing the next singer,

323
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: like Ladies and Gentlemen, Mark Anthony singing Silent Night, Holy Night.

324
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: And so then she comes back and sits down right,

325
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: And so in the process that I'm talking about how

326
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: we all like to think highly of ourselves, right, the

327
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: John McClain superhero like mentality, right, even though we're just

328
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: normal dudes. So I'm sitting there, We're in this big

329
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: concert hall, and I'm like looking up in the rafters, like, man, dude,

330
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: there could be like a sniper up there right now

331
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: there is you know what I mean, Like, what if

332
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: somebody wanted to kill them, this would be the place,

333
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: This would be a place to do it. And your

334
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: mind starts like playing with you And remember, y'all, I'm

335
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: an actor. So if you're not with me on this

336
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: whole journey to understand that first of all, But I

337
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people would be like, dude,

338
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: I would totally feel the same way. So I'm sitting

339
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: there and I'm like, man, if I see the sniper,

340
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let him shoot, but I'm gonna save the president.

341
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: I'm take it, and I'm gonna take it in the

342
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: shoulder and save the freaking president and people will be like,

343
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: holy crap, dude, pretty just save Bill Clinton from a

344
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: freaking sniper. In my head, I'm like and I'm like,

345
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: my mind is like the wheels are spinning of this

346
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: huge smile on my face right because I can't. I can't.

347
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm a bad poker player, by the way. I can't

348
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: like hold it in. And the whole time, I'm just

349
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: fantasizing and fantasy. I'm like, why how everybody think you're

350
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: the coolest guy in the world, Like even people who

351
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: didn't vote for him would still respect it. Such a

352
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: gigster move. And he looks at I feel this look

353
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: and I look over and he's looking right at me,

354
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: sees me smiling, and he goes, he is good, isn't he?

355
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: And he was talking about the little country kid, and

356
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't even hear that. I didn't

357
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: even know if someone was on stage, someone play. In

358
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: my mind, I was already in the ambulance going to

359
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: the hospital, like, no, I did my two d you

360
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: know anybody else would have done it to, you know,

361
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: practice In my speech, and I'm like, oh, yeah, he's

362
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: he's really good. So we want to be that guy,

363
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: or at least I maybe I'm I don't know, okay,

364
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: good good, I'm not alone, but yeah, man, So that's

365
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: like he just has that quality, that every man quality,

366
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: and when the every man can reach the top, it's

367
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: a big freaking deal and we want to believe it.

368
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: So that's the long winded, forty five minute version of

369
00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: the answer. Does that make sense? I know, because I

370
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: was just looking at me, looking at this close, I'm

371
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: looking at the character. I'm looking at the hair. I'm

372
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: just going why now, Like why did this pop? Out

373
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: of all the things that the terrible hats he wore,

374
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: the ska, the conspiracy character, Like, I mean, he he's

375
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: had a whole career. You know, it's like, why was

376
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: this the one that popped? And and and I agree

377
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: with you. I think it's because he's us. You know,

378
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: he's everybody. I mean, I don't know what you were born,

379
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: you were conceived in the White House. You're a star,

380
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: you're married to a star. You're not the everyday man, Freddie,

381
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: You're specially, but don't make it like that, like there's

382
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: still a part of me that can like connect and

383
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: relate to that, you know what I mean. You don't know.

384
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: Sammy's Aye could have been conceived into Montreal White House.

385
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: That'd be cool enough for this. W W talk Jeff

386
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: have a smooth transition to a e W champions Night.

387
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's what they called it, but

388
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm calling a champions night. First of all, I love

389
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: when when wrestling promotions do this, all right, w w

390
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: E does it very rarely, but they'll have like a

391
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: Monday Night Raw and it will be a big deal

392
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: and two titles will be defended in the crowd. We

393
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: had two titles and it's not even a pay per view,

394
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: and they go crazy and they like it. Right, they

395
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: should do it more often. They should. It's a special thing.

396
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: It's not like, Listen, everybody knows the belts are real,

397
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: their physical real, but there's not an actual contest that

398
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: they're battled for. So everyone knows that the titles are

399
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: a part of the story and a chance to enhance

400
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: the character and hopefully build and help develop the brand

401
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: for years to come. Everyone's in on the secret, and

402
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: the kids that aren't aren't gonna understand the gravity of

403
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: a title match. Anyway, they just want to see cool,

404
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: flippy stuff. Giant guys just smashing manly meat into one another.

405
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: That's acted Chris, It's weird, but Biggy set a version

406
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 1: of it sounds better. I was trying to emulate that.

407
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, the point is they don't recognize the value

408
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: of the title. They're recognizing the value of the entertainment.

409
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: I wish they would do this more. I don't a

410
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: w they don't do it often. But they opened with

411
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: the world champion and the greatest professional wrestler in the

412
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: world today, not just m JF, but shredded Bruce Lee,

413
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: shredded Maxwell, Jacob Friedman, cut carbs out of his diet,

414
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: came out, looked like he was chiseled from stone, and

415
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: he wrestled Knaka Takashita, the dude that we talked about

416
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago who I thought was really

417
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: really sick. Then he got signed. Then he had a

418
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: promo where we talked about him again, where he called

419
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: he told MJF to shut up call him a bit

420
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: in perfect English, which is awesome. So they have like

421
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: this little bit of beef, So what better on Champions Night?

422
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: Then for MJF to shut this son of a bit.

423
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about him like he's a baby face, but

424
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 1: he's the heel champion who hates everybody, including me, and

425
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: he goes out there and this dude was doing New

426
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 1: Japan Pro Wrestling baby face moves. You can argue that

427
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: backflip was terrible because it's what a baby face would do,

428
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: but I would argue back he was so cocky when

429
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: he landed it and did that like double shoulder shrug,

430
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: which is way more gangster than Henry Cable's stupid like

431
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: double armed thing when he's like a mission impossible, but

432
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: so dumb at Max pulls this off bam double shoulder shrug,

433
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: and it was so cocky and arrogant that I'd be like, nah, man,

434
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: that's the most he'll move with the whole match. I

435
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: love this match and the spot that followed that backflip,

436
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: which is still by the way I'm talking about, like,

437
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: oh I did a backflip. That's amazing. When they do

438
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: the layout as a finisher and a splash form, it's

439
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: amazing to land on your feet like that is double

440
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: And then they had that double off the rope thing

441
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: where they're just smashing each other's face in I love

442
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: this match. You started the show with the world champion.

443
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: Granted he got to speak later in the show, but

444
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was really smart. I would not have

445
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: done this. Vince would never do this, maybe not never,

446
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: but I don't think I would like, well, what could

447
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: follow that? But they did. Um. I love this match.

448
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: It's my best of the week just because of that

449
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: gangster assid back flip. And you hate on me if

450
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: you want or say you're a sucker for shiny stuff. Yes,

451
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: I am. Oh, you know that. I'm the biggest sucker

452
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: for shiny stuff. I love a gimmick and a big

453
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: I love all I'm you know that about me, I'm not, no,

454
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 1: but I did listen on Jericho cruise. He did, uh

455
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: We we had a day canceled where we couldn't do

456
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: excursions in the Bahamas because there was a big storm

457
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: and they couldn't dock, and so Jericho had to add

458
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: all these things to the cruise ship that day so

459
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: that people weren't piste off. And one of the things

460
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: he added a big Q and a where he answered

461
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of questions, and one of his things was

462
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: he was like he had these little marks in his

463
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: career where he was like, you know, like someone said,

464
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: like or in his brain, he got it that he

465
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: had to do a backflip off of the top turn

466
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: buckle and if he couldn't do that, he wasn't gonna

467
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 1: make it to the next level of wrestling. He had

468
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: to like figure out how to do it. And he's

469
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: in the ring, no Matt, no pad, no anything. He's

470
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: just trying to do the backflip and Jim Court Jim

471
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: Cornett's like, all right, you know, but just don't get hurt.

472
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: And it's supposed to be his Like last night at

473
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: the in that wrestling circuit, he was moving on to

474
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: something else and he broke his arm before before the

475
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: match trying to do the backflip off the top turn buckle.

476
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: But um, it's no, it's quite a measuring stick of

477
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: of of greatness to do to do that move for sure.

478
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: Um was this when he was in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, Yeah,

479
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: And it was like and it was already over. He

480
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: was already moving on to something else. It was some

481
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: sort of like last probably going to New Japan or

482
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: Mexico or somewhere some sort of great They were having

483
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: a night of Champions kind of things similar to what

484
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about now, and he's so. Jim was like,

485
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: just don't get hurt. And of course he came out

486
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: and you know, he had compound fracture in his forearm

487
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: and the old bob Bob orton gimmick and just wrestle

488
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: with the castor he did. That's exactly what they did.

489
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: They had him come out and they he did a

490
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: couple of spots that weren't you know, like big crazy things,

491
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: and then that night he had to go to the

492
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: hospital surgery the next morning, I I side quested you,

493
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: that's my fault. I take full responsibility. I love that.

494
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: Tell me you dug this match, my brother, I did

495
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: dig it. I wish that Takashita was a little bit

496
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: better on the mic. I'm wondering why if maybe that's

497
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: why m JF is paired with him. I mean, I

498
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: feel like this is a thing they're trying to grow,

499
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 1: but are not paired with him, but like feuding with him.

500
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: I think your instincts are right. Even when we were

501
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: at a w um together, me and you're watching watching it,

502
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: like they had him come out and cut a promo

503
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: on Takashita, and it was like he was, like, you know,

504
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: saying all this ship talking Tragman called him take a

505
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: ship to remember that and then very by the way,

506
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: very mean, very disrespectful. Yeah, very insensitive, you know, kind

507
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: of racial. Came off a little racial, you know, all right, dude,

508
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: So we love the match. This was almost my best

509
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: of the week for weird reason. Not weird reasons, just

510
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: different reasons. Jamie Hayder the women's World champion who doesn't

511
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: really have a reason to fight storyline wise, they haven't

512
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: given her a lot. She's had some promos and I

513
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: think she's growing very quickly, and I happen to think

514
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: she's good on the mic. She was going against the

515
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: bunny who has a great look. Um, I don't know

516
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: how she is on the mic, and I don't know

517
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: too much about her. I will say this, she's sold great.

518
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: I love Jamie Hayder. I think this girl, if pushed

519
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: the right way, could be a role model for young women.

520
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: She's not some skinny, victorious secret model. This is you

521
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: have to be this to be beautiful kind of girl.

522
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: So for any mother's out there listening, she is tough

523
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: as nails, British as nails and talks her trash and

524
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: backs it up and looks strong. She's not like I said,

525
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: she's not skinny, she's not fat at all. She's just

526
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: in great shape. She's a bigger girl. She's beautiful, she's

527
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: I just love her and my The reason I say

528
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: this is my daughter was watching the match with me,

529
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: my son too, and my daughter goes, is that Jamie Hayter?

530
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: I said yeah, She goes, Have I seen her with

531
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: her hair that color? I go, no, She goes, that

532
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: looks cool? I said it does. I go, does it

533
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: remind you of anything? She goes, kind of like Corella developed,

534
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: but it looks better on her than it did on

535
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: on the girl in the in the Corilla movie. I

536
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: go wow. And so we're sitting there watching, and that's

537
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: normally what my daughter would say, right, she would comment

538
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: on the way they look. And then about like three

539
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: or four minutes into the match, she goes, Dad, she's

540
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: really good. I go, yeah, she is pretty good. She goes,

541
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if she's as good as Charlotte Flair,

542
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 1: but she's really good. I said, well, probably not as

543
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: good as Charlotte Flair. Wrestlers in the world. But yeah, man,

544
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: I think Jamie Hayter is the truth. She goes, yeah,

545
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: she goes, the truth means they're really good. I go, yeah,

546
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: the truth means they're really good. She goes, Okay, then

547
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: she's the truth. And so when I when you can

548
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: get my thirteen year old daughter, who's not a big

549
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: wrestling fan at all, like she's hip to it. She'll

550
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: watch if someone compels her to watch, meaning if if

551
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: you command her attention. If you're a star, she will

552
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: watch if you're if you're just a guy or just

553
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: a girl, which is still just as necessary. My daughter

554
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: ain't having it. She's a casual fan. She was locked

555
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: onto Jamie Hayter. Jamie Hayter has something about her and

556
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if she knows it yet and I

557
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: don't know if she can execute it on command yet.

558
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: But if pushed correctly, I really believe in her. I

559
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: think she could be a big time Let's end with

560
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: Brian Daniels in versus rue, Okay, you have to help

561
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: me out here. I like this match, but no, I didn't.

562
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: It was very hard to watch from the blood and

563
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: the it's just a very violent like almost like not

564
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 1: a shoot, but they were being stiff with one another,

565
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: but it looked like nothing Brian was doing was hurting

566
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: and that bad. Like the second Brian with hit him

567
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: with something big. Every time he would just like like

568
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: power up and then be like come on. And it

569
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: happened so many times that when the finish happened, it

570
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: didn't seem any like harder than any of the other

571
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: stuff that hit him. And then he just like dropped

572
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: and it was one to three, and I felt very

573
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: discombobulated because like the blood on Danielson's face didn't match

574
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: what I thought I just saw. I thought the blood

575
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: was a strange choice. Also, and also what the hell

576
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: was m JF wearing when he came down? MGF always

577
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: looks cool. He came down some Purple Ninja, Turtle Onesie

578
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: or some ship. I don't know what the hell was.

579
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: But don't don't disrespect the wardrobe. Man. He disrespected you,

580
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: and I now I'm on a vendetta. Um, but ruche

581
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I don't even know anything about this guy.

582
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: It was very confusing. If it's in his gimmick, then

583
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: I maybe it wouldn't have taken me out so much.

584
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: But it was just like dang bro like Brian selling

585
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: so hard on every shot, and this guy was just

586
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,479
Speaker 1: like every time he got hit, like what it's like,

587
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: dang man, Like, I don't think that's cool, but I

588
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: don't know, so I'm not like I said, I'm not

589
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: hipped to the guy. I don't know what his what

590
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: his thing is. Jeff, tell the people where you're gonna

591
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: be this weekend. I will be in Chicago, Illinois at

592
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: Zany's Comedy Club doing Old Town and Rosemont. Come find

593
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,239
Speaker 1: Jeff dot dot com. You can find tickets for all

594
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: that Chicago where Richard Pryor discovered my dad at Mr

595
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: Chow's Comedy Club and told my uncle Rhonda Blasio, who's

596
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: Fluffy's dad wrestling fans? No Fluffy? You know Fluffy Um

597
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: went and saw him signed him. Then Pam Greer fell

598
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: in love with my dad, and Richard got pissed, and

599
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: my dad and Richard weren't friends, and Richard told my uncle,

600
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: you have to pick pick motherfuck pick, and my uncle

601
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,239
Speaker 1: picked my dad, and then my dad unfortunately died. So

602
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: my uncle chose poorly on that one, but it was

603
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,840
