1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready's about to hit the fan?

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: Welcome to Unsanctioned Thursdays in Wrestling with Fady.

3
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 3: What's up? Everybody?

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: Welcome to Unsanctioned Thursdays. The show that you requested, the

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: show that you got, and this show is going to

6
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: be all about you, the fans of pro wrestling, and

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: the interactions that they have with the WWE universe. We

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: talked about this a little on our regular show about

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: fan participation versus fan takeover. One as good, one is evil,

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: and if you're responsible for the evil, you should be

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: ashamed of yourself. Go call your mother right now and say,

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Mom. You tried to raise me right, but

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: I just I didn't take to it. I just didn't

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: take to it. Some of the stuff is great. The

15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: most recent example is in Paris. I wish I knew

16
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: what they were singing, but they were singing. I know

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: when they I don't know how all the Europeans know

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: all the words to the wrestler songs and here I

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: am and it's my first language, and I know like

20
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: the first three words to every wrestler song and can't

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: understand any of the words after that.

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 3: But somehow they can do it.

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, cult of Personality. I have no idea.

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 4: I have no idea the rest of the words.

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: And that's even a cheat because that was like a

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: mainstream hit before it was even his song, so you

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: may have heard it on the radio, so it makes

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: it tricky.

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: They cut to the audience and there's people that are

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: like kind of like mouthing like, but they don't know

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: what it is, like.

32
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: The Star Spangled banner, Yeah, exactly, Cult of person.

33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, you knew the chorus Edge of Song.

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: They always know Edge of Song or Adam Copeland now

35
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: in ae.

36
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: W, I know on this day, I see clearly. And

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: then that's all I know from the song.

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: And there's Cody Oh, I don't know any of the

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: words to Rea's if.

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: Rheo Ripley's listening.

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: Listen, you're the biggest star in my opinion, I think

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: the biggest star of wrestling. That you're gonna be the

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: biggest future star of women's wrestling. Stop lip syncing to

44
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: every lyric as you come down the stop Why I

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: like it? No, she should be like in wrestling mode.

46
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: She's like lipping on. It makes you look like a

47
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: high school girl. That's like listening to her radio knowing

48
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: all the words to the song.

49
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: I see profighters sinking songs when they come down to

50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: in a UFC fight their lips.

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: It looks corny. It doesn't matter.

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: I like it.

53
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 4: Something to think about, Riya, something to work on.

54
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, actually, let's talk about.

55
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: Let's talk about it as a wrestler. Listen, how long

56
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: has have the USO has been wrestlers?

57
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: A long since I worked there?

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: Okay, and then how long?

59
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of some other guys because I

60
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: don't want to just pick on the ussos.

61
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: Gosh, I don't know.

62
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: So A lot of times wrestler's been a wrestlers their

63
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: whole life. They've grown up around wrestling. They've their parents

64
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: are wrestling, their uncles are wrestling. They're all like part

65
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: of this big wrestling thing. Is it somewhat disrespectful or something?

66
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: If someone said, hey, I know you've been wrestling for

67
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: thirty years and you grew up in it, let's work

68
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: on your punches, they're not looking very convincing. Do they

69
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: ever get like notes like after a match, like, hey,

70
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: everything was great, but we've got to work.

71
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: On landing those punches.

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: Why don't you go down to the center or the

73
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: entertainment whatever the hell they're calling it. Go to the

74
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: training place, work on your.

75
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 4: Work, on the the hits or the punches.

76
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: The young wrestlers, I know they do, But once you're

77
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: at a certain level and your punches aren't hurting the

78
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: other person, nobody's going to say anything to you.

79
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: They just want to be protected and safe in there.

80
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: Well, like some of these guys like they're working so

81
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: safe they're not even three inches from their face, or

82
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: like so slow, or they're like they'll be like they'll

83
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: like barely.

84
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: Like it's like, not everybody.

85
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: Not everybody's shamous, bro, Not everybody's just gonna be like it,

86
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: punch me in the face, punch you in the face,

87
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean, punch me in the face.

88
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: Not in the Indy Show.

89
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: In Burbank, we're talking about the pros. We're watching the

90
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: best of the best, and there's punches look like dog shit.

91
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Look, I disagree with everything Jeff just said. I would

92
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: much prefer you keep each other safe. And most of

93
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: the punches are looking pretty sweet out there. Alexa Bliss

94
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: still with the best right hand in the game, it's

95
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: the most realistic punch in the world. And she's like

96
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: five foot four, five foot five, and it's the best

97
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: right hand in the game. And it looks awesome every time.

98
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: Now.

99
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: Granted, long hair on dudes and girls make those punches

100
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: look more real because you can't quite see because it gets.

101
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: Lost in the hair.

102
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: And and head butt, I love a good head butt.

103
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: With long hair. A head butt is so good.

104
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, dude.

105
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: When Drew McIntyre does the Glasgow kiss, it always looks perfect.

106
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: When Real Ripley does her head butt, it always looks

107
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: perfect if the person has long hair that she had butts,

108
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: because then it's whips back perfect. And sometimes if they

109
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: do the water thing in their hair, you see like

110
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be sweat, but it's the water flies

111
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: off their head. My daughter thinks it's gross. I think

112
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: it's super cool. But yeah, all right, back.

113
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: To it, all right, Well, let's talk about the sing

114
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: along a chance.

115
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a question from our producer Alex.

116
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: Do you think WWE leans into this stuff too much?

117
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 3: Now?

118
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: Like, are they literally booking entrances for TikTok moments instead

119
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: of wrestling moments? Jeff, I think you have a pretty

120
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: strong perspective on this. You spoke on it on the

121
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: main show, but for those who didn't hear that, maybe

122
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: reiterate and elaborate a little bit.

123
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: All Right, So here's what I'll say.

124
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: I am fine with wrestling chance I'm a wrestling fan.

125
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: I like when we chant. I like when we know

126
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: the stuff. I like when we go with the wrestler

127
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: with whatever they're saying whenever they want. That's good, all good,

128
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: that this is awesome, You've still got it.

129
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: Holy shit. All those chants.

130
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: Good because those are chants that are happening while the

131
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: wrestling's happening, and it's part of the show.

132
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 4: It's part of the product.

133
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: The only thing I'm criticizing is when they sing a

134
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: thing or do a thing and the wrestler just isn't

135
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: talking or isn't doing anything as like an opening of

136
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: the That's the only when I'm criticizing.

137
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 4: I don't.

138
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: I think all the rest of it's very nice part

139
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: of it. I'm saying, let's get to the show. Well,

140
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: I don't need even three minutes of the wrestler like

141
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: acknowledging the audience and like waiting to talk and like that,

142
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: Like that I think is is over overdone and it's

143
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: too much and we need to just get to the product.

144
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: All the other chants I'm fine with and I like.

145
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: I think even the chance I don't like are still

146
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 2: part of wrestling, and who cares what I like. So

147
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: it's like when they do the yeat thing, like it's

148
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: been very clunky. Like there there was a raw the

149
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: other night I'm not sure how long ago where he

150
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: was trying to get him to say nope, but they

151
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: just kept saying yeat because they were I remember that yeah,

152
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: and he was like nope, and he doesn't and then

153
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: they go yeat and then he's like he was like

154
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: he couldn't convince them to do the right thing. So anyways,

155
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't,

156
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: and I'm fine with all of it. I'm saying, just

157
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: let's not do that big thing where no one's talking

158
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: and we're just listening to the audience. Do on seen

159
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: A's song or sing like along with Roman reigns nonsense.

160
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Here's a follow up question for you, because you said

161
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: you like it when it's happening during the match, what

162
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: about when the chants are something that you're not allowed

163
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: to hear on the TV product, like if it's a

164
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: holy shit or a aw hey, fuck you you suck

165
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: chant like not you suck. But when they're literally dropping

166
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: F bombs in there, and now they have to mute

167
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: the product and you can't see it, and they're kind

168
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: of taking over the show in a certain regard. It's

169
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: only now for the house and it's no longer for

170
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: the TV audience.

171
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: How do you feel about that?

172
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: That doesn't bother me as much because an F word

173
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: is so quick to edit, like they can just kind

174
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: of distort it a little bit. I'm sure the editors

175
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: hate it, but it doesn't bother me. Yeah, but it

176
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: doesn't affect the product enough that it bothers me. And

177
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, let them, let them rip, let it,

178
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: let it have fun. I want all the wrestling fans

179
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: to be happy. I want it to have fun. But

180
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: I think for the good of rest, we have to

181
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: make sure it's not taking up too much TV time.

182
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's much more theatrical now than it used to be.

183
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: Like in the old days, there was something called a

184
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: heel's ex a heel's entrance, and which was a false

185
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: entrance because in Puerto Rico.

186
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: JBL taught me about this.

187
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: When the heels would step out of the tunnel, the

188
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: fans that were right above the tunnel would just dump

189
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: everything on them, just beers, piss, water, I love this, batteries, pennies,

190
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: like whatever. They just would throw shit at him, and

191
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: so there'd be a false entrance where you take a

192
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: step and then step back and all the shit hits

193
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: the ground.

194
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: And then you enter the arena. Right, So that's how

195
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: it used to be.

196
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Like when I went to a match with my grandma

197
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico, they put a cage around the ring.

198
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: I said, is this a steel cage match?

199
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: And she said not exactly, as in case the wrong

200
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: guy wins, the crowd can't run in there and kill

201
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: the winner.

202
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: And I was like what.

203
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: And then I saw the bad guy coming out and

204
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: people started chucking batteries at him, and my grandma like

205
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: held me down so I didn't get hit by anything,

206
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: and I was just like, yo, what the hell is

207
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: going I was like eight years old enough, scared to death.

208
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: It was like, what the hell's going on? So it's

209
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: evolved from violence against these people when they thought it

210
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: was real. So now that they know it's entertainment now.

211
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: The fans want to be a part of the show too,

212
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: and they involve themselves, whether it be disruptive like a

213
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: what chant, or whether it's a part of a match

214
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: where they're literally like cheering the Babyfaces come back, and

215
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: the comeback happens because of the audience's cheering, which happens

216
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: all the time, and that's an empowering feeling. If you're

217
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: a fan, you're like, especially if you're young, and it's

218
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: still real to you.

219
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: You're like, I cheered.

220
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: John Cena and that made him get back up, And

221
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: that's such a great feeling when you're a wrestling fan

222
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: because you were a part of that moment, right. And

223
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: I think that's why they get involved, is because there's

224
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: still some magic involved there. It's not like a boring

225
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: Broadway play where you can't do anything. You just sit

226
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: there and listen and then you clap at the end

227
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: of everything. It's not like when people go to see

228
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: what was it called Alexander or Hamilton? It was Hamilton, Like,

229
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've never gone to that crap,

230
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: but if if like you start singing, not crap. I

231
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: mean they're talented, but I just I like movies, I

232
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: don't like I don't like plays, but like, I don't

233
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: know if you're allowed to sing along, but I would

234
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: imagine you're not, and if you did, you'd be asked to.

235
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: Leave, because those are the game. Those are the greatest

236
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: voices in the world.

237
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: And your voice sucks, right, it sounds like Jeff in

238
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: my voice, Like, sorry, if you thought your voice.

239
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: Was nice, it's not. It's just just as bad as ours.

240
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: You're not James Ingleheart like he's like that guy's Yeah.

241
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: If you brought a date to lay mis a rob

242
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: and she starts singing along, you're like, this is over,

243
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: Like like even at a theater, you go, no, you

244
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: were not singing along?

245
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: What are you doing.

246
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: My ex girlfriend back in the day when I was

247
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: like nineteen twenty brought me to lay Miz and she

248
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: was like, it's a very masculine show.

249
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 3: You're gonna really like it, and I was like, all right,

250
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: I'll go.

251
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: It was there was nothing masculine about Ley Miz. There

252
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: was nothing masculine at all. It was all just singing

253
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: and dancing. That is not manly. When you're nineteen and

00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: stage combat.

258
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: I want to see see a jet ski on fire

259
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 2: and some titties.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not well cultured, man, I'm the first to

00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,080

Speaker 1: Like That's the shit that I'm into, and you know,

266
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: the other stuff is just not for me.

267
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 4: I want to see May Young power bombed into a table.

268
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: That's what I want to see.

269
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: But exactly, Bubba shout out to Jerry the King Lowler.

270
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, So to me, the crowd participation has

271
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: always been like mascu mentos, right Like, It's always been

272
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: kind of either I like it or I don't like it,

273
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: and I've never I haven't found the gray area yet.

274
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 3: I appreciate it more now that I'm older.

275
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: But when I worked there, I freaking hated it, probably

276
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: because I felt like they were messing up the speeches

277
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: that I was writing for these rests.

278
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 3: Like you guys are fucking it up. Give the guy

279
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 3: a chance.

280
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: Goddamn, but I've grown since then.

281
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: All right, Jeff, you get the final word. Is the

282
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: modern wrestling fan too involved? Or is this just the

283
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: evolution of the business. That's a question from our producer Alex.

284
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: I think that's a great question. Here's the thing, as

285
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 2: wrestling fans, we want to be a part of all

286
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: of it. We live in this modern world. That's why

287
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of that show Unreal on Netflix,

288
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: and some fans are crashing out about it, saying.

289
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 4: Oh, this is too much they're doing. This is k

290
00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 4: Fabe dead?

291
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: It's like, yes, dad, bro, what are you talking about.

292
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 2: You don't get to pretend you love k Fabe when

293
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: you follow all these wrestlers on Twitter, when you expect

294
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: there to be an announcement of Naomi give having a

295
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: baby when she's the biggest best heel in women's wrestling

296
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: right now, and then they cut to her talking to

297
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 2: Stephanie McMahon, someone everyone hates his daughter, and then and

298
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: then she's with Triple H who everyone criticizes, and when

299
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: she's going congrats on having the baby, and then Neilmi's like, yeah,

302
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: on the wrestling you love, and then you're gonna bitch

303
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 2: and moan that like Unreal has like a doc series.

304
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: You follow these people, you know everything they're doing. You

305
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: go to these like wrestling cons and you go to

306
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: these conventions and you literally sit there and go, I'm mommy,

00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: There's no k Fabe. It's been gone for twenty something

311
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: years longer.
