71
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,520

Speaker 3: so thrown on. We might have been drinking that night before.

75
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: And I woke up so paranoid that either I was

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: about to miss our recording time because I was like

77
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: thinking about it, give.

78
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: Me a half hour and I go, that wouldrow are about?

79
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,320

Speaker 1: I thought I was off. I was like, what day

81
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: is it?

82
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: Like?

83
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: Am I wrong? No, you're wrong?

84
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: That's too funny.

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'll tell you what like some nights and

86
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: I I'm trying not to do this anymore. But for

87
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Christmas one of my presents from Hubs, he got me

88
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: two bottles of Bailey's, so one bottle was like the

89
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: original and one bottle was a vanilla cinnamon. So I've

90
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 2: been putting like a double shot in my nighttime coffee.

91
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good.

92
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: It's like every night I'm drinking. Now, it's like seventeen

93
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: percent alcohol.

94
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 1: It's not good.

95
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 3: I mean it's good. Okay, it tastes good. It's good,

96
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: but is it good. I mean it's not great.

97
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: That is not good for you.

98
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: And I've been like knocking myself out in the gym,

99
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And I said to myself, Man,

100
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here and I'm drinking this. I'm not that

101
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm an alcoholic or anything, but I'm drinking this cup

102
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: of coffee with this double shot.

103
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: This can't be good at nighttime. That's I guess.

104
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: There would be sugar in it, plus the additional calories

105
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: plus the alcohol. So I stopped doing that. I said,

106
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: I can't do that anymore. Now I'm trying to stop

107
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: the coffee at night altogether, like I don't want to.

108
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to just drink water. But I was on

109
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: a kick. I was like every night.

110
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: I was getting my little coffee and I was sitting

111
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: down because it's so relaxing.

112
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: I had my heating pad, I have a fuzzy blanket.

113
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: Then you know the cough, the spiked coffee like it's

114
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: it's that's a dream night. That's so fun for me.

115
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: Can't beat that. Well, you know, so, I know you

116
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: like the moonshine, right, you like the Uh, it's.

117
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: Not that I like the moonshine. It was the watermelon

118
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: moonshine was very, very tasty, but it got me effed up.

119
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: I was spinning.

120
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: Drunk.

121
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,559
Speaker 3: Well, okay, well that's liking it. If you get spinning drunk,

122
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: that's usually that's fun. But there's a there's a like

123
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: a little booze bottle of moonshine that you can there's

124
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: like a coffee flavored one out that you could like

125
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: it's like a chaser almost that you can put in

126
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: your coffee that makes it like it's like a Bailly's.

127
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: Well I got those, put it in the wife stocking

128
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: and we've added that to the coffee at night as well.

129
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: There's a strawberry one, I think, and like a mocha

130
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 3: like it's like a straw like a hint of like

131
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: a strawberry, like I don't know if it's streamer, yeah,

132
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: like a creamer. And then there's like a mocha one.

133
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: It's awesome, but it's like a Bailey's.

134
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: You know, it's so delicious. But I said, this can't

135
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: be good for my body, Like I'm trying to detox. Yeah,

136
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: I've been going like, you know, the days that I lift,

137
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: I lift heavy, right then the days that I don't lift,

138
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: I do cardio and then I we have a steam

139
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,240

144
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: You know, it's a sauna, so I love that.

145
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a fine stein goes. Oh is it the

Speaker 4: Middle East by the United States and Britain.

205
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: So do you know I was just looking at a

206
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: film of Alaskan airlines.

207
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Are the doors are flying off in midair?

208
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: I saw that.

209
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: That was crazy.

210
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was going on. As much as you love

211
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 4: to fly, I could just see you on that. I

212
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 4: was done.

213
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: I would literally lose it.

214
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 4: The door just came off, full disclosure. I'd have a

215
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 4: cinder block in my pants.

216
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I swear to you. It was I remember one time.

217
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: You know, Sandman was a self called plant atheist at

218
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: one point, and I don't know what he believes in now,

219
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: but uh, we were going down. We were on a

220
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: flight and it was so I've never been like that,

221
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: had turbulence like this, And he grabbed my hand and.

222
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't know who you pray to, but you better

223
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: pray to him now. And I was just like, how

224
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: do you want to pray to my God? Because you're

225
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: gonna die. I thought we were goners. The plane was

226
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: literally doing this.

227
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna say Sam and bolted to

00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 4: the to the to the cab and crushed in and

229

00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,439

238
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 4: but he wouldn't.

239
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,640

Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's so we're back. We had to record

241
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 4: two episodes this week. Uh, apologies to everybody. Honestly I

242
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: was getting delused by people at the grocery story. Hey

243
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: so episode this week. But yeah, so we got caught

244
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 4: up to it. Uh two weeks we got we're three

245
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 4: weeks behind, so we got caught up to well and

246
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: two weeks hit two more. But uh, we're having fun

247
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: with it. It's uh, you know, it's it's for me,

248
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: as you know, I get so nervous on cameraon in

249
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: front of people. What about you guys, what's new? What's happening?

250
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: Oh, well, you know we're on.

251
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: He has Yeah, he hasn't been here since we've been on.

252
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: iHeart yes, right, that's right, since you been on. Oh yeah, yeah,

253
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: he hasn't. I think the last time Shane was on

254
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: was when Punk had the meltdown at the press conference?

255
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: Was that time He's gonna kill ton That was?

256
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: That was the time when Tony when he had the

257
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: meltdown in front of the press and Tony was just

258
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: sitting there with the bug guys watching it, and then

259
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 3: uh uh the brawl out went on backstage and then

260
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: Jericho whispered to Tony, some ship just went down.

261
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know this this thing that happened what last week?

262
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: Week before? I lose track of time. I'm like, it's

263
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 4: a kind of twilight zone. But you know, first of all,

264
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 4: I'm sure Tony Kahn's dad has some pretty well qualified

265
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: communications experts. There are times you go public and you

266
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 4: say things and there's other times to shut the hell up,

267
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 4: And clearly he doesn't know the difference. So it's, uh,

268
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 4: it's it's it sends a shiver down your spine watching

269
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 4: it and thinking, like, you know, how carefully we would

270
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 4: try to do things in the past, and when you'd

271
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 4: screw up, and there were plenty of those, you know,

272
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 4: we try to figure out the best way. What's the

273
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 4: old saying when you're in a hole, stop digging, And boy,

274
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 4: it seems like old Tony Khan's got himself a backo.

275
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 4: He's taking this thing as deep as he might end

276
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 4: up in China. Who knows before we're done well.

277
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: And he's made even more I would say, even the

278
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: press conferences and whatever he's had to say publicly in

279
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: front of people, being as bad as he could possibly do.

280
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: That that's terrible. Online, he's worse because he's created a

281
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: controversy between the companies now by going after talent. And

282
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: have you seen that Shane this week?

283
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: I hadn't, but but I've heard people like complaining about

284
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: things just in general. So fill me in please.

285
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: So what he did was so Jinder Mahaal, who's a

286
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: WWE talent, was on TV a few weeks ago. He

287
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: was in a segment with the Rock. Okay, the segment

288
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: got rave reviews, got pretty decent rate. Means they decided

289
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: to give gender Mahal a title shot. So gender Mahall

290
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: has been kind of off TV. They've used him as

291
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: a manager, but they he is a former champion. They

292
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: gave him a title shot. Well, Tony used the fact

293
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: that he hasn't really won to match as the barometer

294
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: to say, oh, well, why does he deserve a title

295
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: shot and kind of took a shot at him in

296
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: a tweet, right, and you hook Tasa's son as an example,

297
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: you know, as to somebody that is a superstar. So

298
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: then Gender took a shot at Hook, and then Tony

299
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: came back and took a shot at Gender and then

300
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: shots fired back and forth and it just did not

301
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: look good.

302
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and what's the end goal? You know, it's

303
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 4: it's you're putting heat on some of the boys. That

304
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: poor Hook. But I mean, good kid, Right, he's sitting

305
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: there minded his own business. Hall sudden he's in the

306
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 4: middle of his controversy. It's uh again, like there, I

307
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: think it's time for Tony to sit back and say,

308
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: like call his dad, Hey, you get one of your

309
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: damage control people, communications experts online. It's it's it's so

310
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: frustrating to watch because there's so much talent. My god,

311
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: we've talked about the sad nausea and there's so much

312
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: talent in those dressing rooms and yet you know, you

313
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: see stuff like that, it's like Peyton Place, you know,

314
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 4: for all your kids out there, that's the soap opera.

315
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: It used to be the TV, uh, you know, and

316
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 4: it's just like this flailing about. It's it's embarrassing to watch.

317
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: Focus on the product. It's the product in the ring.

318
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 4: And you know, I did JP's a podcast in today's

319
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 4: ninth anniversary and was saying, then, you know that it's

320
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 4: the product. Remember the old line from Bill Klint is

321
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 4: the economy stupid. Uh, it's the product, stupid. Fix the product,

322
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: Get the product right. And instead of trying to take

323
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: these shots. You know when we did in ECW, we

324
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: were the little tiny guy trying to get eyeballs on

325
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: us and uh, you know, taking shots to get some

326
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: of that attention. But to be like one of the

327
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 4: quote unquote big two and out there playing this kind

328
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 4: of Peyton place where you know we're gonna go and

329
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: tweet something mean out and everything else, it's just so

330
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 4: ill advised and so stupid. And again, everybody knows my

331
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 4: personal feelings for Vincent man, but I you know, there

332
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 4: are still things I've learned from Vince. You know. Whenever

333
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 4: I remember when Hogan years ago did the uh the

334
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 4: promo after went the WCW said he had all the irishmen, yes,

335
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 4: even the man shaking in his boots. I went to Vincent, said, hey,

336
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: during one of the Dean Douglas vignettes, let's have a grip,

337
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: make some noise in the back of the room and

338
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: I'll be annoyed by it and I'll finally say something like,

339
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 4: mister Bellie, will you sit down and shut up? And

340
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 4: maybe you'll finally learn something about this business. And Vince

341
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 4: loved it. He tuck you. But you know, we don't

342
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 4: do it, never talk about the enemy and directly from Vince.

343
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 4: And now this this kind of stuff. Tony has tried

344
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: to place himself as being one of the talk three

345
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 4: bookers and all this other stuff we've heard. But you've

346
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: been on national television for three years and failed to

347
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 4: grow the audience. There's still between this three and eight

348
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 4: hundred thousand number. Correct. Yeah, yeah, so they've already failed.

349
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 4: I mean three years in my guess would be somebody

350
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 4: at T and T. Unless they have absolutely nothing to air,

351
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 4: it's start. There's there's discussions going on like, hey, how

352
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 4: long do we want to do this? Because are they

353
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 4: still paying the production costs? Yeah? I'm not sure at

354
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 4: some point this this this fan dango will come to

355
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: an end unless they get it right. And they have

356
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 4: some really great young talent there, but they're also you know,

357
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: I won't use names. I'll try to keep my friends'

358
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 4: names out of this, but I had spoken to one

359
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 4: of my dear friends from there, and they told me

360
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 4: that in since the beginning of the company, there wasn't

361
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 4: a single question asked of them. And I can assure

362
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 4: you this person taught me a world of stuff that

363
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 4: I would later use as the franchise. So the fact

364
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: that nobody's asking him questions or asked him any questions,

365
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 4: seems to me to be just crazy, insane. They got

366
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 4: to write that ship. They have a chance. You know,

367
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 4: they have the money and they have a great dressing

368
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: room of talent. But you know, a runner, the ship

369
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 4: just sort of floats around and goes in the circles, right,

370
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 4: And I think that's what we're seeing with aew. Get

371
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 4: the ship right, get the runner fixed, get this thing

372
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 4: moving in the right direction, especially as Vince's numbers have

373
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 4: sort of sloughed out. We keep saying this for the

374
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 4: company formerly owned by Vina McMahon. It's you know, take

375
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: some lessons from him, because, you know, love him or

376
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 4: hate him, the guy knew what the hell he was

377
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 4: doing as far as business goes.

378
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: We talked about this before when they the scrum.

379
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: The way that Tony was behaving and cursing and just

380
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 2: acting more so like one of the boys and not

381
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: the boss. Right when I see him tweeting and childish

382
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: stuff like not even something like an adult man would write,

383
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: just like taking cheap shots. And to me, he's trying

384
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: to poke the bear, which is either like triple h

385
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: or you can even say Vince McMahan or somebody in charge,

386
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: and nobody ever pokes back. You know, gender is the

387
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: one that poked back, and he's talent. So the boys

388
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 2: always fight on Twitter like it's like an everyday thing.

389
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 2: Somebody's fighting with somebody on Twitter, okay whatever. Tony, to me,

390
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 2: I don't know what his ultimate goal is, but he

391
00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: keeps trying to poke that bear and no one is responding,

392
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: and it's like, after a while, you have to say

393
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: to yourself, Okay, do I look like an asshole? Or

394
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 2: am I getting my point across? Which is your point?

395
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: You look like you're seven years old and making like

396
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: potty humor jokes half the time. It just comes off.

397
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 2: As very childish to me and just disrespectful to the

398
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 2: business that we're all in. Yes, because why do you

399
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: have to take shots at another worker just because he

400
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: didn't win a match in a year?

401
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: Guess what, Tony, it's a storyline. It's not real. He

402
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: was booked to lose.

403
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: So honestly taking jabs at this guy, it's it's to

404
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 5: me that just shows you how disrespectful he can be,

405
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, just to make his company

406
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 5: look better, but it just makes.

407
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: Him look worse.

408
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think nail on head, right. I mean

409
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: it's they at this point should be nipping at Vince's

410
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 4: or the company formerly owned by Vince's heels. But I

411
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 4: think there's some criticism to throw there too. Completely different topic,

412
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: but I would think that if if I was going

413
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 4: to spend nine billion dollars for a company, I'd have

414
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 4: a plan in place today, I got the keys, I

415
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 4: would hit the ground running. And from what I'm hearing

416
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 4: from fans, and again full disclosure, I haven't watched more

417
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 4: than thirty seconds here and there of their product in

418
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 4: the last two months. Been too busy. But from what

419
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 4: I'm hearing from the fans is that it looks as

420
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: though there's really no plan in place. They just took

421
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: the keys and said, okay, one hunter running like you

422
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 4: want to. Is that accurate?

423
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 3: Sort of, It's like it's like almost like some people

424
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: had like the ideas that they've always wanted to bring

425
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: to the forefront and they just kind of were able

426
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 3: to use them now. So kind of like that, but

427
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's kind of hard to say. It's

428
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: like it's almost like they finally got the clearest to

429
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 3: be like, all right, the old guy's gone, let's kind

430
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 3: of do whatever we can now.

431
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I mean it's you know, it's you got

432
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: one guy like Franny just hit the nail on the head,

433
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 4: you know, trying to play like the guerrilla Warfare tactic.

434
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: As one of the companies that's been on the air

435
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 4: for three years national television and has shown no propensity

436
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 4: to grow that company. It looks like desperation, right, Remember Fannie,

437
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 4: when Paul kept wanting me to do the Flair stuff,

438
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 4: and I kept saying, it's clear he's not coming. It

439
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 4: looks desperate for us, right, And he wanted me to

440
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 4: keep doing it and you know, we had that argument

441
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 4: over it, same thing, like we there's a time to

442
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 4: cut and run and move on. And they need to

443
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 4: focus at this point on whatever the hundreds of millions

444
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 4: of dollars invested so far. They need to figure out

445
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 4: how to make that investment and get a return on

446
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 4: that investment. And h Keyko or Endeavor whoever, I don't

447
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 4: know which one is the parent company, but they need

448
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 4: to figure out what it is they want to do

449
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 4: with that nine billion they just spent. It's uh, you know,

450
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: it's it keeps going back to what we've talked about

451
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: for years on a Triple Threat podcast and other places.

452
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: There is a massive audience built in to professional wrestling

453
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 4: that has been completely ignored and worse than that, you know,

454
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: given a little more, let me there, we go get

455
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 4: the nice you know, that's basically what our industry is

456
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: saying to that forty eight to fifty million fans, and

457
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 4: it's sort of just see a child Tata. They've they've left,

458
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 4: and nobody but nobody's even thinking about them, let alone

459
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 4: figuring out how to get back. Ww's make it still

460
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: making a ton of money, right that had the most

461
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 4: profitable year from what I'm reading, Uh, if if that's true,

462
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 4: what if they would do something to get some of

463
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 4: that forty eight to fifty million fans back, and what

464
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 4: if they w would sort of court them in some

465
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 4: way and get them up. They probably get the ratings

466
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 4: beyond that three to eight hundred thousand range that nobody

467
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 4: is paying attention to. That is, like, to me, incredibly perplexing.

468
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: Every time I hear an adult talk about wrestling. Oh,

469
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: I used to watch that stuff, like when I was

470
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 2: a teenager. That's the most the sentence I keep hearing.

471
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 2: It's the same one from different people all the time. Yeah,

472
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: I used to watch that back in the day. I

473
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: don't watch it anymore. Like to me, people they don't

474
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: think it's cool anymore. Like I don't know how to

475
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: explain that they're still a market for it, obviously, because

476
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: you know people are still tuning in, but like you said,

477
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 2: the numbers aren't there like they were years ago. And

478
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of like some guy or even

479
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: embarrassed to admit they were wrestling fans at one point,

480
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: which I.

481
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: Don't get that.

482
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: It's like, you like what you like, you know, wrestling movies, whatever,

483
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: you're into your dungeons and dragons.

484
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,239
Speaker 1: Who cares. If you like it, you like it, and

485
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: that's me. But when you talk to these people like people.

486
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: Will like, you know, if I meet like my Oh,

487
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 2: I went to uh my husband's where he grew up,

488
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 2: and there were people there that we were talking to.

489
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: Oh, you used to wrestle? Yeah, I used to.

490
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, I like that when I was

491
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: like seven, and I go, Okay, that's fine, you.

492
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.

493
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: But to me it comes off nowadays like it's not

494
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: the cool thing to like.

495
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.

496
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

497
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 2: Like what did they switch over and get into all

498
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: those millions of people?

499
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: What are they into now?

500
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: UFC right, remember this point where there were so moose

501
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: in the company pushing to take wrestling more in that

502
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: realistic direction as the rest of the industry was flying

503
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 4: off the cartoon land. And the UFC is massive. That's

504
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: how they were a Ford nine billion. But they excuse

505
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 4: me for the WWE. I wonder though, first of all,

506
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 4: to support what you just said. How many times have

507
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: we been at a table and somebody comes up and says, oh,

508
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 4: I used to love watching you guys, and you or

509
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: I will ask them do you still watch and it's all, okay,

510
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 4: I got a rock, you know what I mean, the

511
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 4: plane goes down in flames. Yeah, I watched my kids.

512
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 4: And you know, my kids had grown up in the

513
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 4: dressing rooms. They loved being around the business. Uh, they

514
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 4: used to really enjoy I think, just you know, they

515
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 4: thought they were important. They could come and go as

516
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: they wanted and get a hot dog when they wanted

517
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 4: or whatever. When they walked away from wrestling coincide with

518
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 4: the time that they both started wrestling amateur and uh,

519
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: and I remember it like being like literally today tomorrow,

520
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 4: thing today. Up until today, they loved it. Every day

521
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 4: they were out on the front stoop playing with their

522
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 4: friends and the wrestling rings and the video games and

523
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 4: all of that. And suddenly tomorrow they didn't. They just

524
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 4: stopped and it was UFC for them. But for others.

525
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 4: You know, kids, you've got kids, There's gonna come a

526
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 4: time when your kids a little bit younger than mine,

527
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 4: they're gonna find music, they're gonna find girls and boys,

528
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 4: and they're gonna find a whole slew of lot of things,

529
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 4: cars and whatever else. And you know when that happens,

530
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: other things fall by the wayside, and that's that's the

531
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 4: real look, see right to the what wrestling had always been.

532
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 4: I started watching wrestling at six seven years old, and

533
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: I've been a fan since you started watching wrestling. All

534
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: three of us here started watching wrestling young, grew up

535
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 4: watching it, and now we've got into the industry and

536
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 4: worked alongside of it. But I still can watch great wrestling.

537
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 4: You know, pull something up old or whatever. Somebody sends

538
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 4: me something and I watch it. I still learn from

539
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 4: the stuff. You know, you're watching an old Harley match

540
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 4: or you know, an old Bruno match or something. You know, Wow,

541
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 4: you just see that they're thinking in the ring. But

542
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 4: that's gone. You know, we've seen our industry. I think

543
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 4: it's now more transitory. The kids come in at six, seven,

544
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: eight years old, they watch it for a couple of

545
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 4: years and they sort of mature and say, oh, hey,

546
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: there's girls, there's boys, there's cars, there's music, there's UFC,

547
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 4: there's all these other things going on, and that I

548
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 4: think is a bad slap in our business and what's

549
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 4: being presented.

550
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

551
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: I just I hear so much negativity about the sport,

552
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: and part of me gets enraged because there is still

553
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: a part of me because I love it, you know

554
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 2: what I mean, I still that's what I did for

555
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: the last thirty years and that's what I continue to do.

556
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 2: So I'm offended at one point, but then the other

557
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 2: half of me.

558
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: Goes, I kind of get it.

559
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, like I kind.

560
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: Of see where they're coming from, especially with today's product.

561
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: So you know, there was a time when I I

562
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: didn't even have cable and Monday night Raw would be

563
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 2: on and I used to run up the street to

564
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: my girlfriend's house for that hour and watch hers because

565
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: I didn't have it.

566
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 4: And then I did you guys cat fight?

567
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: No, I was in the business back then. I would

568
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: just run because I wanted to see it.

569
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: And I would run up the street and I would

570
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: sit and they you know, her mom was great, she

571
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: was like my second mother.

572
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: She would let me watch it and then she watched

573
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: me run down the street. I'd go home.

574
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: Right, That's how much I just adored the sport. And

575
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: now I can't even sit there and watch it. And

576
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 2: it's no again, no offense to anybody working, but I

577
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: think at this stage in my life, I'm just doing

578
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: different things. I have different obligations and I'm not as

579
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: obsessed as I used to be, because I used to

580
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: be obsessed with it. You know, we would drive and

581
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: all we talk about our spots and what we're gonna do.

582
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: It was constantly running through my brain.

583
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: Maybe because I'm not working, you know, ringside, although we

584
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: do have two shows coming up with that we're.

585
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: Going to plug and I'm freaking out over them. Just

586
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: to lay I have to do stuff and it's killing me.

587
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: But you know, one little power bomb off the top

588
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 4: road table.

589
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: That is not happening. Well, you know, you get into

590
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: like the older you get, you get a different mind

591
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: free and you know, there's just certain things that I

592
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: think about now that are way more important than professional wrestling,

593
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: and you know, family and kids of course, life, and

594
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: so I get the transition onto other things.

595
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: But you know, when people talk about it in a

596
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: negative way, I want to punch them in the face.

597
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, ew, you.

598
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: Don't have to be crude about it, you know what

599
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean. So, you know, there's.

600
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 4: How many times how many times have you heard me

601
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 4: say in interviews and including our podcast probably on here,

602
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 4: I'm not indicting the kids, it's you know, when we've

603
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: both been there when you're a kid in this business,

604
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 4: unless somebody takes you by the nose and explains to

605
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 4: you when to do those big bumps, when to take

606
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 4: this or do this move or not do it? Speed up,

607
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 4: slow down. At Dominic's, Jim, we learned how to do

608
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 4: the moves. And it wasn't I didn't learn the business

609
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 4: like actually wrestling and telling a story till I was

610
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: on the road. And and I've said this so many times,

611
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 4: it's like that goes in my own brain. If it

612
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 4: weren't for the pez Wattley's and the black Barts and

613
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 4: the Dick Slators and Murdocks and all those guys, you

614
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: would have never met me. You guys would never have

615
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: known me. The fans would never have known me. Because

616
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 4: everything that I learned that I would apply later came

617
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 4: from being in the ring with those guys. And these kids,

618
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: bless their hearts, they have never been given that opportunity.

619
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 4: So I was asking a kid again, name irrelevant. Last summer,

620
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 4: Moose was having a show down there in Kentucky and

621
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 4: he was a fan of mine and came up and

622
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 4: introduced himself and we started talking, and I said he'd

623
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 4: been in the busines us for four years. The first

624
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 4: question was how many matches per year? How many matches

625
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 4: have you had in those four years? And it was

626
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 4: something like sixty seven or sixty eight and four years?

627
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 4: And I asked him, I said, have you ever been

628
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 4: in the ring with the guy with twenty years experience?

629
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 4: And he said, yeah? Said how many times? He said,

630
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 4: one time with Al Snow? And I thought, so four years.

631
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 4: This kid had been in the ring one time with

632
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: the guy with a lot of experience. Again, in my day,

633
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 4: would have been passing all those guys I just mentioned.

634
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 4: You know, if me and mit fully had gone on

635
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 4: the road together and only ever worked with each other,

636
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 4: what could I possibly have learned from him or he

637
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: from me? We were at the same level. There was

638
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 4: none we could teach you about each other. But you know,

639
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 4: so I always looked at stress. I'm not indicting the kids,

640
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 4: but when you have a dresser room full of guys

641
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: back there that have all proven themselves on deck for

642
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 4: decades that you know, drawing money, telling stories and surviving

643
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 4: in this business, if you make to the top of

644
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 4: this pile in this business, you clearly know something. Because

645
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 4: there's a whole lot of people that don't. It just

646
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 4: perplexes me that anybody would think that there's nothing I

647
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 4: can learn from talking to Francie and or Shane or

648
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 4: anybody that has that thirty forty years in. It's just

649
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 4: a head scratcher. And so, you know, there's that push

650
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 4: and show. And the last time was at an aw

651
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 4: show in Pittsburgh. One of the kids came up and

652
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 4: please don't mist understand. He was not being disrespectful. He was,

653
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 4: I think, trying to explain, you know, me and Taz

654
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 4: and we started talking, and his son Hook was there,

655
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 4: and Jerry came over, and Dean came over, and different

656
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 4: people were coming over, and suddenly there's this little crowd

657
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 4: of people and Taz and I started talking about my angle,

658
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 4: and one of the kids said to me, see franchise,

659
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 4: that's the difference. Like back in when you guys worked,

660
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: the fans still believed in the business, but everybody knows

661
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 4: it's to work now, so it doesn't have to make sense.

662
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 4: And I looked at Taz, really just say that to me,

663
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 4: like jokingly, and so I asked the kid, you know,

664
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 4: trying to be funny. I guess it didn't quite land

665
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 4: the way I thought it would. I said, there's a

666
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 4: movie I used to watch when I was a kid.

667
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 4: Have you ever heard a little movie called Star Wars?

668
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 4: Because oh my god, I love Star Wars. I said, okay,

669
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 4: so you know what a lightsaber is, and you know

670
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 4: what the millennial falcon is, and see three po in

671
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 4: Darth Vader's mask because yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I said, well,

672
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 4: why does Disney spend two three hundred million bucks per

673
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 4: on special effects? I mean they can put you out

674
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 4: the actors with a broomstick and put the sound effect

675
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 4: over it and you just imagine that it's a light saber,

676
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 4: or put a ten bucket on the actor playing Darth

677
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 4: Vader's head, et cetera. And the kids look at me

678
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 4: like I'm like I'm crazy, And I said they do

679
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 4: that because not going they'd want ry to put two

680
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 4: three hundred million bucks in the bank. I assure you

681
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 4: they do that because they want you to suspend disbelief,

682
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 4: to go to that place that doesn't exist. And in

683
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 4: our business. I told the kid, I said, if you're

684
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 4: telling yourself before you go out that curtain, none of

685
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 4: this has to make sense. You've already defeated yourself before

686
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 4: you've walked through that curtain. I hope he listened and

687
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: learned and he's learning from it. But again, it's just

688
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 4: a completely different industry. All that talent in the dressing

689
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 4: room that could could, you know, allow them to sit

690
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 4: into the learning tree. None of them are in the ring.

691
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 4: Billy gun a bit, but uh, none of them are

692
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 4: in the for the most part, not in the ring.

693
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 4: So they can't literally get in there and say, Okay,

694
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 4: I'm gonna teach you time we go out there. Here's

695
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 4: here's how we're going to do this. And and it's

696
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 4: a shame because the kids, again I've said this so

697
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 4: many times and I meet it from the bottom of

698
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 4: my heart. They are so incredibly athletic that if somebody

699
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 4: would just make them learn their craft, imagine the stories

700
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 4: they could tell with that athleticism.

701
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think there was a missed opportunity

702
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: not hiring a certain franchise to be.

703
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 2: A coach, because you know, I think there's youngins into

704
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 2: shape anders.

705
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 3: You know, Shane, I didn't realize I saw a match

706
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 3: from I think it was last summer that you worked

707
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 3: the match, but Adam Cole was in the corner of you.

708
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 3: I had never seen that before. What was his role

709
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 3: at that show? Because he's taken on such a role

710
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 3: there in aw as a top guy, but like, what

711
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: did the guys at that show kind of treat him?

712
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: Like?

713
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: Uh?

714
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 4: He came in and was respectful. Uh, you know, he

715
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: was seemingly like took his segment of that and then

716
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 4: worked on it. But here there wasn't a whole ton

717
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 4: of communication. Uh you know, so he uh how do

718
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 4: I put it without making this sound good or bad?

719
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 4: I mean just describing it. Uh, he he came It

720
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 4: was almost like he came there and filled his role.

721
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 4: You know. It was uh yeah, I think he was

722
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 4: trying not to be like seemingly disrespectfully. You know the

723
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 4: look first of all these kids today, the twenty twenty five,

724
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 4: they can't make eye contact, so you know, you get

725
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 4: a whole lot of this. But he was he was

726
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 4: pretty uh conversational and uh you know, and I can't remember.

727
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go back and ask Mose. I can't remember

728
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 4: why he wasn't working that night.

729
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: He's been injured a lot.

730
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 3: It was it was a weird spot, but he's coming off.

731
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: Of he was injured and then he got injured again.

732
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: So maybe they just brought him in as a name,

733
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: but he really couldn't do anything.

734
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: He was physical, He was physical, He hit a move,

735
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 3: he he laid somebody out.

736
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, but why didn't they bring him into work work?

737
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 3: That's why it was so weird. But I was wondering what.

738
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 1: He probably could do something, you know, how you work

739
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: around your injuries.

740
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, so maybe maybe that's what happened, But I

741
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: didn't see it, so I don't know.

742
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 4: I'm just yeah, it's that's a year ago is ten

743
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 4: million years ago to me? I'm sure specific.

744
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: But he uh he had for breakfast this morning.

745
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 4: You have no idea it is a coffee, Yeah, coffee.

746
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 4: I always coffee for certain Yes. Uh. I also heard

747
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 4: that Kenny Omega is uh yeah, the diverticulitis and you

748
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 4: know it's a elt. Yeah, that's you know that that's

749
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 4: I had a person I grew up with, one of

750
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 4: my friends in the neighborhood. She's had that life long

751
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 4: and you know, we've talked quite a bit about it.

752
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 4: And you know, that's no joke. I mean that's a

753
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 4: really pretty serious thing and at some point if it

754
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 4: gets you know, I don't know the modalities today, how

755
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 4: what the treatments are. But back then, her big concern

756
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 4: was that she would start losing pieces of her intestines

757
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 4: and uh, you know, so, I mean that gets pretty serious.

758
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 4: And I said, look, when Kenny first got it, had

759
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 4: all those injuries needed surgeries. Uh I. I think it

760
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 4: was on the Franchise podcast where I said, you know,

761
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 4: that's as somebody who's had you know, a long list

762
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 4: of surgeries. You know, you can bounce back from a

763
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 4: certain number, but once you get like over seven eight

764
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 4: nine surgeries, it starts getting harder. And you know, as

765
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 4: you're getting older, that gas thing goes empty a lot quicker.

766
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, and like I said in my podcast,

767
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 4: like a message to him was, you know, I understand,

768
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 4: And I noticed for these kids impossible like it was

769
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 4: for us to understand. There's going to come a time

770
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 4: when you hit that ripled age like we have thirty nine,

771
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 4: and you know, you still want to be able to

772
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 4: get out and like in your case, out in the
