And 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.640 I started talking about that Rick Flair retirement match that 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.760 we all went to ye, and I got sidetracked. 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.600 On the gambling that we had. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.480 And I don't know if I told the story right 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.880 or not, but I don't think you lost a match 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.240 the whole night. And I was I think you walked 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.960 home with like eight hundred bucks or some some shit 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:03.600 like that. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.120 Well, you know what it was was that I wasn't 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.200 really watching the product a lot around that time, so 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.480 so everyone kept on putting in bets on what you know, 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.240 everyone was being so smart, you know, yeah, And I 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.119 was like, cool, I'll take Randy Orton, sure, man. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.799 Yeah, there was It drove me nuts.

I'm just saying, well, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.760 can we do something that's even just visually different, you know, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:10.080 things like that. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.560 Now they're the generation of go with what you know, 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.920 So they're they're like like Garth, they fear change. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.800 Oh yeah, no shit, especially the product now.

But 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.320 if I see brock Lessener Roman reigns one more freaking time, 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.520 you know. Yeah, That's the thing is that, like they'll 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.679 do the same pay per view like back to back. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.200 That was Sena and Norton for two years straight. 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.800 It felt like it's always like a like new day. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.400 USO's like every freaking card, like you know, and it's 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.319 just like you know, and I understand that, like their 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.400 roster obviously isn't as deep as it was a year ago. 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.280 Back they've caught I think eighty six wrestlers from their 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:57.319 roster in the past calendar year. Yeah. Yeah, so it's like, 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.040 you know, like yeah, so like you don't really have 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.199 this rich for right that maybe you might have had 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.079 before and stuff. But even then, man, it's like, you know, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.440 how many times can we watch the same match over? 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.120 I mean literally, I think it was just recently it 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.840 was like like Survivors series and I think they like, 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.439 you know, the one before that, they were like, I 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.240 think it was the two before that, they were virtually 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.040 the same card man, And it's just like, what the 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:18.960 fuck's going on. 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.640 When you when you and I were younger, they allowed 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:27.120 the storylines to develop sometimes for almost a year before 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.920 you got that that final payoff. And I think once 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:34.880 the Attitude era hit, they gave you everything right away 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.559 in a four week package, and it kind of changed 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.880 the way the stories were told, almost pay per view 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.120 to pay per view, and at a certain point, I 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.400 feel like you just run out of stories to tell, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:47.120 so they. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.760 Just go with what they know. And I'm not saying 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:50.199 this is. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:51.800 You run out of stories. 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.600 Come on, they are running out of stories. 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.760 Believe I pitched one hundred if I pitched one every 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.840 week is just when you're pitching to a wall is 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.800 going to bounce back at you See. 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.160 That's kind of the problem, you know, that's that's that's 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.360 the problem right there, because you know there there there's 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.240 never gonna be a lack of stories. I mean, you 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.280 know Three's Company. You know, they had an episode in 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.040 the first season where they had to hide a puppy 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:19.840 from from yuh the Landlords, uh, the other Ropers, and 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.520 then in the season like six, they're they're hiding a 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.800 kitten from mister Furley. You know, it's just like, yeah, 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.680 it's like, man, you know, you can even you just 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.640 repackage some of this ship. You know, as long as 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.160 you give it enough time, you know, you can you can. 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.960 Do that had more time than any TV show ever. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.200 Yeah, but I mean I think there is something to 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.240 your point of like these longer stories. But at the 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.840 same time, there was less product on television, and you know, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.480 you were totally fine with like you know, uh, you know, 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.840 watching bad News Brown beat up Jerry the Jobber, uh, 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.840 you know, on on Saturday mornings kind of thing.
