6
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,559

00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,000

Speaker 2: nice some.

13
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Guys like that, so I tend to try and if

14
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: it works, I stick with it. You know what I mean,

15
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: Viney Broke, of course you don't fix it. I was

16
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: thrilled to finally meet you. I'd been talking about you

17
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: no seriously, and I hate putting you over because I've

18
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: gotten to know you a little bit in dealing with

19
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: you with our text messages. But we've we met Russell

20
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: Con weekend for the first time. Because you know you're

21
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: You're not an indie guy, and you haven't been around

22
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: you are now and we'll talk about that in a minute.

23
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: But I met you at the ECW Arena, the twenty

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: three hundred arena it's called. And I was thrilled to

25
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: meet you because one of the questions I always get,

26
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: and this was back when you were still in WWE,

27
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: if you can pick one WWE superstar to work with,

28
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: who would it be? And I always picked you because

29
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: for me, you you kind of remind me of Shane

30
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: Douglas in a way. And it's not just the good

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: blonde hairror either, sure like you're the way you worn't,

32
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: your promost skills, like everything reminded me of a young

33
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: Shane Douglas. And I always said he doesn't need me

34
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: as a manager because you can get over on your own.

35
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: But I think it would have been fun to work

36
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: with you as a heel team.

37
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that would have been an absolute blast, of course.

38
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: And first and foremost one, I'm a fan of your

39
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: just like you. Until we met, I was a big

40
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 3: fan of yours. Thank you. You know they say don't

41
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: meet your heroes or or Francine thank you. No, A

42
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 3: huge fan. I grew up watching ECW. I'll be really

43
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: quick about this. We didn't have cable for the longest time.

44
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: So I had like a black and white UHF TV

45
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: and Friday nights it was an hour of VCW, and

46
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: Saturday nights it was two hours of VCW, but it

47
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: was just the same show twice, but I didn't care.

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: I watched it anyway. And that's you know. I've had

49
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: a deep affection for ECW, and that was my first

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: love of watching wrestling every week. So and I was

51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 3: a big fan of yours, and even after meeting, I

52
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: still am. Since you're recording this, thank so, and I

53
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: would have loved to have you as a manager.

54
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: We can still make it happen down the line, which.

55
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: Would be even better if you like that Britney Spears

56
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: Iggy Azalea videos like just two Gals on the town, two.

57
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: Hanging out on the I love that. Well. If any

58
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: promoters are listening, were available as a duo, So get

59
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: in touch with either of us and we'll make it happen.

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: So I was going over your history a little bit.

61
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't really trust wiki too much because you shouldn't.

62
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: I don't because I realized now that.

63
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: Fanta don't trust nobody.

64
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: No, But I never knew that fans could update the page.

65
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: That's how that works, I believe. So that's what I

66
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: was told, dear. So I'm like, we're reading stuff and

67
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I don't know what's real and what's

68
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: not real. And you have done a ton of interviews

69
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: since you walked away from WWE. I don't want this

70
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: interview view to be redundant in any way, like the

71
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: same kind of questions. So I'm going to talk about

72
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: WWE just a little bit because there's a couple of

73
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: things that I was curious about. You started in two

74
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: thousand and four through OVW and ended up there for

75
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: about nineteen years. Is that correct.

76
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: That's my resume two thousand and four, WWE till present.

77
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Yes, it's very impressive. Not many people could last that long.

78
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: I've lasted six months in that company, So you know,

79
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm the worst.

80
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: Like that's it.

81
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: Well, you know, at the time, it's all it's the

82
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: craziest stuff. It's all getting not getting injured at the

83
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: wrong time, knowing somebody or not knowing somebody. There was

84
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: a chance I was going to be in the heart.

85
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: Do you remember that tag team?

86
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: Yes?

87
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so and they were great wrestling dudes. Who I

88
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: liked and they're jacked, and they had a couple of

89
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: months run. Their debut was like losing, and I go,

90
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: I go, that was almost me. So it's a weird

91
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: and I was like mad that I.

92
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: Was in a cheerleading group.

93
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: But then somehow it's the craziest amount of things that

94
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with like being better than someone.

95
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: Sometimes it does, but it's just like the timing and

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: weirdness of it. Nineteen years is like we were told

97
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: Lancestorm was the teacher in OBW when I started, and

98
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: he goes, mathematically if the average is two point seven

99
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: years of television time, and it goes from some people

100
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: having a couple months and an undertaker having seventy five years,

101
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: and it's like somewhere in the middle is like two

102
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: and a half years. So make your money and get

103
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: ready for the independent scene. And I go, Okay, if

104
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: I can just get three years here, I can make

105
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: a living doing this for the rest of my life.

106
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: It'd be great. And somehow just kept adapting instany But.

107
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: In a sense, that's a great way to look at it,

108
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: because you're expectations are kind of low. Yeah, you've exceeded though, so.

109
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: You I mean, yeah, that's not In some ways, yes,

110
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: but also in your head, you know, you want to

111
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: be the world champion for twenty years and never lose

112
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: and have the company on your back. And but it's

113
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 3: also like, yeah, you could plan it that way, or

114
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 3: you could be gone in a couple of months, no

115
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: matter how awesome you are. There's so many people that

116
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: I go, wow, not only is this guy gonna take

117
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 3: my job.

118
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: I would applaud him for it and go, this is

119
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: the guy to go with.

120
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: And then six months later they're gone or injured, and

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 3: it's just you never know how it's gonna work. Yeah,

122
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: it's a crazy thing that you never know which way

123
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: to go with it.

124
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: I was very fortunate injury wise.

125
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: I think so many different times I was never hurt,

126
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: so I feel like that always came to help.

127
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: So one of the questions I had was, what is

128
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: the worst injury you've ever suffered, because, like you said,

129
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: you seem to be very consistent in your role.

130
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: Seemed to me, I missed like three weeks of work

131
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 3: in nineteen and a half years. That's that stitch that

132
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: seemed to be real.

133
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: That's very amazing because like a lot of the guys

134
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: that I used to work with were injured constantly, and

135
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: we're working with a cast or with a splint or

136
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, or we would have to go to the

137
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: merch table and we couldn't work, you know for that

138
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: loop or something. Right, You're you're not getting hurt. How

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: does one do that? Because how are you so safe

140
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: in the ring.

141
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: It's, first of all, it's not me. I'm not fighting myself.

142
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: I mean, be a hell of a match.

143
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: I'd be impressed, but it would be, but it was

144
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: it's I don't know.

145
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: I can't explain it.

146
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: I I I never let it happen. In a couple

147
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: of times, I have a couple concussions, which is which

148
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: totally happens. And also I was at you know, four

149
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: oh five. It was still not wild West Attitude era,

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: but it was. I was just telling the story.

151
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: To my brother the other day. I pulled Mike groin

152
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: in a match.

153
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: It was at the time where every year after WrestleMania,

154
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: I was nervous that I.

155
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: Was getting fired. So's a couple of years in and

156
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: you just you go, I pulled my groin. Wow, this

157
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: one really hurts. What should I do?

158
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: And They're like, well, do you want us to tell

159
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: Vince do you are you okay with losing your spot?

160
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: And You're like no, no, no, I'll work through it.

161
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: Or so it's like it's not attitude air, like like

162
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: I need this, you know, you know there's no salary

163
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: coming in.

164
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: There's no You lose your spot if you get hurt.

165
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: So I eventually making up for it, pulled two groins

166
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: because I was making up for the other one. And

167
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: at that point, I'm getting wrapped around my waist and

168
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: both groins. Before each match, I was getting injections into

169
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: my thighs and I would put and it was usually

170
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 3: myself and Kofe and I had the US title, the

171
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: Intercontinental title, and I would put a bag of ice

172
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: inside the title in between my trunks and wear it

173
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 3: for like the fifteen minutes going out there that I'd

174
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: like pull up the title like this and the bag

175
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: of ice would fall out.

176
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: Okay, match, and I was like kind of fun. Fun.

177
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: It was also like, hey, are you cool with losing

178
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: your spot? And at the time You're like, oh my god,

179
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: I can't lose my spot. I'm five eleven, one hundred

180
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: and ninety pounds. I'm not a leg I see I

181
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 3: don't have anyone rooting for me in the meetings. No,

182
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: I cannot lose that spot. I'll fight through it. So

183
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: there is that aspect of like I did get injuries

184
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: all the time, like we all do, but somehow never

185
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: got that very serious one where you leave. But also

186
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 3: that affected me a little bit negatively because if you

187
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: have Triple Ah tearing a squad and then he comes

188
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: back nine months later and the place erupts because we

189
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: missed this guy that we know. I never got to

190
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: have that moment once or twice, or some guys get

191
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: fifteen times. I got it zero times. So I feel

192
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: like that also hurt a little bit. So it's like

193
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: a positive and a negative there, I guess.

194
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well here's my theory. When you now again,

195
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know you when you work there. I'm getting

196
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: to know you now watching you as a fan and

197
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: seeing the way you perform and the people you perform with,

198
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: and you know who you're putting over a week after week.

199
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: You're there for nineteen years. But but as I'm watching you,

200
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying to myself, they're not using him correctly. There's

201
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: so much more because I see a star compared to

202
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: other people. I'm not going to name others. I'm not

203
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, I see a star and the way that

204
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: sometimes yeah they put it beut on you here and there,

205
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: but the way that they used you, in my opinion,

206
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: I feel like there was so much more they always

207
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: could have done, but you lasted nineteen years. Do you

208
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: feel like there was some heat that you didn't know

209
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: about that they had your their thumb on you? There

210
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: might have been somebody politicking against you, like did you

211
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: were you aware of anything going Yeah?

212
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. And it's a couple days that I

213
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: said earlier.

214
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: What it's like, either nobody's rooting for you in the

215
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: meeting because you're not six or five or three hundred pounds,

216
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: or you're not Vince or on his favorite guy, so

217
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: no one's.

218
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: Gonna be like, oh yeah, yeah, that's a good idea. Boss.

219
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: I like him too. There's not one of those things.

220
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: And then there's also the other extreme to where Pat

221
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 3: Patterson was a big fan of mine and he was more.

222
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 2: Of a consultant.

223
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 3: So some months he's there every TV, sometimes he's talking

224
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: to events all the time, and then some months he's

225
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: just gone for a few because you know he was

226
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: a little bit older, and he's enjoying his life, he's

227
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: on vacation stuff, but also he come help out. So

228
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: sometimes there's nobody there, and if nobody's got your back,

229
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: it's kind of tricky. Already, I'm not a legacy, you know,

230
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: I don't have any inside information or like nobody's looking

231
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: out for you.

232
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: But also I got to a point where the.

233
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: Top of the top other than Vins, pulled me aside

234
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: and said, Pat pushes for you so much because he

235
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: says such great things and see such great things in

236
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: you that we're now actively ribbing him by having you

237
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: lose every week.

238
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: And I know that's terrible.

239
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: That's a funny.

240
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: And he laughed when he said, I go, that's funny,

241
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: but like that's my career. That's already you know, I

242
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: lose eighty percent of the time, not losing ninety five

243
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: percent of the time, Like come on, like that's and

244
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: they thought it was like a cool thing to tell me.

245
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: So again, this is anecdotal, secondhand information. It's not something

246
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: I witnessed personally, but people in the meetings would tell

247
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 3: you like, oh yeah, anytime this thing was set up,

248
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: these two guys would go like no, we don't like it,

249
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: and they go okay, out to the next guy, and

250
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: it just I mean, it's showbiz. That's how it works.

251
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: But it's yeah, that's of course part of the deal.

252
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: And there's a million amazing, amazing moments that I got

253
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 3: to be a part of or that were based around me,

254
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: that the memories will never ever go away, and.

255
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,599
Speaker 2: The fans have them too.

256
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 3: It's just that I think that there's that extra part

257
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: of there's no follow up because there's no one in

258
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: a meeting going okay, now we're going with this guy, right,

259
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: They're like, nah, we're good. And so the next day,

260
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: so it's weird to complain and you're like, hey, you

261
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 3: won like twenty titles and you were the world champion.

262
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: It's like, yes, that's fantastic, and I cherished that. But

263
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 3: also the next day every time I won those house

264
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 3: I lost ninety two times in a row, including the

265
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 3: day out.

266
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: The weekend became world heavyweight champion.

267
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: I lost the next match like so, and that's again,

268
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 3: it's showbiz.

269
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: That's part of the deal. But also it just goes okay.

270
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 3: If the company's not behind him, eventually the fans will

271
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: not because they understand, like, oh, what's the point of this,

272
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 3: But they stuck around a lot longer than they should have, I.

273
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: Think because of the work ethic and everything that was

274
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: put forward.

275
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you say longer than they should have, I

276
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: don't agree with that statement at all. I mean, you

277
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: have a huge fan bast They admire your work and

278
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: your work ethics, so they're fans period. They're not just

279
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna give up on you because you lose, because right,

280
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: but losing, you know what.

281
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 3: I But you get to a point where it was,

282
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: you know, I studied the metrics behind the scenes and

283
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: the ratings, all that stuff and different things, and you go,

284
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: it's one thing when people my age go, oh, dog's

285
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: gonna put out a good match and he's gonna lose.

286
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: And then it got to a point where ten year

287
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: old kids are going, we.

288
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: Know you're losing, and you get to a point wards

289
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: six and eight year old kids like, oh, I can't

290
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 3: wait to see you. Like, So you get to a

291
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 3: point where the fans are still hanging around longer than

292
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 3: they should but the office is telling them, don't waste

293
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 3: your time. You're gonna see a cool thing, And for

294
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 3: a split second, you're gonna forget that, you know, this

295
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: guy's losing. And that was my goal every time, is

296
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: to get one or two split second where it goes oh,

297
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: because that's what I was up against, and I thought

298
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: I did that pretty damn well.

299
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: But every once in.

300
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: A while, it's just there's nothing, nothing, nothing, and then

301
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: somebody's hurt and they go, you're fighting Seamus in the

302
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: world title match, and ninety nine percent of an entire

303
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: crowd is cheering for the bad guy as loud as

304
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: they possibly hit for the higher.

305
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: Match, and I go, damn it, hell yeah, we can still.

306
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: Get them because you're that guy that the office counts

307
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: on to make everyone look good because they can't have

308
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: a bad match. But that's gonna get the.

309
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: Push, right, And so that's you to pick one or

310
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 3: the other. Or I even tried it. Someone high up

311
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: was like, stop taking this finish so well, stop being bumping,

312
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: and I go.

313
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: I tried it once. I tried it in a live event.

314
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: To like not give everything, and the timing was off

315
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: and it was weird, and I felt, I go now

316
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: for a split second, I go, maybe I can No,

317
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: I can't. I can only do it as best as

318
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: I can because I have to sleep at night, even

319
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: for an hour or two. And so it's either like

320
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: I know I'm not gonna be the franchise guy, but

321
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: every couple of months I go, I can get you know,

322
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: if I can just get them to think this way,

323
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: I can get a couple months out of it and

324
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: make the most of it. So it's but it's also

325
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 3: if you can take that finish fantastic, You're gonna take

326
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: it every week, but also you're gonna take it every

327
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: week for twenty years and you're gonna build a legacy

328
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: and get paid. And then on the weekends you can

329
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: go do twenty five minutes with cofee and tear it

330
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: down and have the best time in your life.

331
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: So they want you to take it, but take it

332
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: like not to the potential that you can.

333
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: Is that just a couple of people were trying. We're

334
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: trying to almost like look out for me and say

335
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: you take this too well. Like the first time I

336
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: took Seamus to finish, they go, holy shit, that was

337
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: are you okay? And I go, it's it work for

338
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: the boss. It's my job to make it look like

339
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: I got killed. And they're like, all right, yeah, So

340
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: if you're working the boss, and then the next time

341
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: he's like so it's like, oh cool, I'm doing something great.

342
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: And then it gets into the ooh, I don't know

343
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: who's winning the world title the night, but let's make

344
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: sure we get that shamous.

345
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: Kick on Dolf because it's gonna look so good.

346
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 3: You're like, So then it got to a point where

347
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: I think there was a couple of months on SmackDown

348
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: where I was just fighting Shamus for no reason because

349
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: they wanted to see me take his finish. And I

350
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: get it, because there's some pretty great gifts out there,

351
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: jiffs whatever. I'm like, it looks awesome because I had

352
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: to do it great. And then but then also after

353
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: thirty matches, when you're one in twenty nine, you're like,

354
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: how do you make this guy the world chaff? How

355
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: do you make him credible? How do we follow him

356
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 3: around in a long term storyline? So it's good with bad?

357
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

358
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: So do you feel like, like, I know, you weren't

359
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: thrilled about the cheerleading gimmick, which I kind of I

360
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: kind of liked it, to be honest with you.

361
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 3: Well, that's fine to like it, but imagine you were

362
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: let me set it up a little bit better. They go, hey,

363
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 3: we really like what you're doing. You're a clean cut

364
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: kid that we can google. And you broke records wrestling

365
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: in college and you can't say okay.

366
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: Appreciate that.

367
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: So you got the notes shout out for and I

368
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I thy can google you go. We're

369
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: really thinking about possibly putting you as like like a

370
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 3: young up and comer with Kurt Angle and like he's

371
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: gonna be your hero and he's and I'm like this,

372
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: this is the greatest thing I've ever heard of?

373
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

374
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: I gotta a tryout.

375
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 3: With WW because Kurt Angle came from amateur wrestling and

376
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: was doing so well that they gave a smaller guy

377
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: like me a.

378
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: Chance in a tryout. I go, this is a dream

379
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 2: come true. It's like the movie.

380
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 3: It's like the Karate Kid movie where it's like, uh

381
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: sidekicks or something.

382
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: It was like Chuck Norris and the other kid are fighting,

383
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: like he's with this hero. I go, this is the best.

384
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 3: And then I get a call to go to TV

385
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 3: and they're like, you're gonna be a cheerleader with four

386
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 3: other guys and it's about one guy, and you guys

387
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 3: are just gonna pomp and feed and look like little sissies.

388
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 3: And then when we're done, who knows, And you go,

389
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 3: I'm heartbroken. This sucks. What can I do? And then

390
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 3: a couple of days goes by and you go, here's

391
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do this the best

392
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: as I damn well can. And if this run is

393
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 3: three months, like I've seen a couple of people coming

394
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: go it's a couple of months and they're gone, I go,

395
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: if that's it, I'm gonna give it everything I can.

396
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: And I go, I don't. I won't be.

397
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: Afraid to, like embrace it because some people don't get

398
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: this one chance.

399
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take it. And so you're.

400
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: Still heartbroken and it sucks. But then six months later,

401
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 3: you're working with ten of the greatest of all time

402
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: every weekend and you're learning the most and those live

403
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: event matches with Shawn Michael's Triple Ah, Rick Flair, Roddy Piper,

404
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: Dusty Rhoades like it's crazy, like it's crazy, like all

405
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: this stuff happened in a joking sense mostly, But I

406
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: got to absorb everything, and I got to a point

407
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 3: where I'm like, hey, Sean, are you cool with me

408
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: calling this match and a live of when I'm out there?

409
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: And he's like, uh, yeah, I can't try whatever that.

410
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: I was like, I called one thing to Shawn Michaels.

411
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, is this really happening? A year and a

412
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: half into wrestling, I don't know what I'm doing.

413
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 3: Out of five guys, I was the fourth worst one

414
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 3: because I was I was eight.

415
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: Months into training, Like I just didn't know anything.

416
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 3: I could like put a hold on and break someone's

417
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 3: back and take a pump, but uh, the only's with

418
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: less experience was Mitch. She was like the fifth one,

419
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 3: but he was brand new and he was you know,

420
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 3: he was hired more on personality than wrestling. So it

421
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: was like I was like the worst one, but I

422
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 3: was trying to catch up. So I was wrestling matches

423
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 3: in the afternoon just to try and catch up reps

424
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 3: and get better with everybody, and Mike would train me

425
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: on the weekends, Uh, just to get a bunch of

426
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 3: reps in. I just wanted to make sure that I

427
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: go in this. I thought every week that the cheerleading

428
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: thing was just like we're just gonna get murdered and

429
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 3: it was gonna be over. So you go, if I

430
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: get to hang around, I want to be really good

431
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: at wrestling. So I was just doing matches NonStop, and

432
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 3: uh got to hang around even though they put us,

433
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: box us up and send us back TO'BW.

434
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: So Kenny was Kenny the supposed to be the breakout

435
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: star of the group.

436
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and it ended up being you well years later, Yeah, yeah,

437
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 4: it was.

438
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: It was more built for Kenny, and he's really fun

439
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 3: and Kenny's freaking awesome. And even though we were a

440
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: bunch of young guys, he was younger than all of

441
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: us by four or five years. He's like twenty years

442
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: old and looks the part, plays the part. Knew back

443
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 3: backstage stuff. He was helping me out with stuff that

444
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: like an old timer would have to tell you for

445
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: behind the scenes stuff like how to like political stuff,

446
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 3: who to talk to it. And I was like it

447
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: was very helpful. He knew a lot at a young age,

448
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: and it was so one You're like, oh, you're a

449
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 3: cheerleader instead of you and tagging with kernegele.

450
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: Idet just so you know you're the fourth worst one

451
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: other group. It's all about this one guy, he's one

452
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: who can't get paid.

453
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 3: You guys bump around and you're like, man, this is

454
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: this is my dream job.

455
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: What the hell am I doing?

456
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: You know, it would tell somebody you're the fourth worst guy.

457
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 3: That's well, that's what they didn't tell me that. Okay,

458
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: the other three were good at wrestling, and I was

459
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: new and the other guy was the only one who

460
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 3: was newer than me.

461
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: Like, oh my goodness. The KFC match that you had

462
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: was that a rib or? I mean, I know you

00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: commercials like I watched because I was watching a couple

465
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: of things that you did, and that popped up and

466
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: I said to myself, I wonder if you'd liked this

467
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: or not, because I mean, I guess it would be

468
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: fun to dress up, and you know, it's.

469
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: A very serious business when it comes to KFC and

470
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: the Kernel. Just so you know, okay, there was a

471
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: special wig that I got fitted for that got flown

472
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: in with a person holding it like it's.

473
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: A big deal.

474
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: So whether whether some things at work, which of course

475
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: are ribs, to make funny. That was a fun one

476
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 3: where I got to beat the freaking colonel. We got

477
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: to do a real commercial with it. I got to

478
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: beat up my buddy Naz who was a chicken in

479
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: the video, right, and it was like a bunch of money,

480
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: so heind of.

481
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 2: A win wind like those kind of ribs, I'm okay, okay,

482
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: but it was.

483
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: We had a really cool partnership with KMC and they

484
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: ended up doing I mean maybe Rick Flair or Seawan

485
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: Michaels or something, but I.

486
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: Go, I got to be the freaking curl.

487
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: It was a curst thing ever and and in that

488
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 3: and people had no idea what was happening because we

489
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: just filmed this match after a raw and we just

490
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: like come out and it's just like I'm the Colonel

491
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 3: and miss like they're like, what the hell is happening?

492
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 3: And we just got to have fun with it in

493
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: film for a couple of days. So no, that was

494
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 3: an absolute blast. Good DFC people were so great to me.

495
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: And yeah, so, uh, there's a million other things in

496
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 3: a ribs.

497
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: That's just like I'm saying, I'm not knocking it at all,

498
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: It's just one of that was one of the things

499
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: that popped up and I was like, I wonder if

500
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: he considered this like a rib or if it was

501
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: cool to you know, do something, because believe me, we

502
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: all did things that were either we cringe when we

503
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: look back, or you know, you do what the office

504
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: tells you to do.

505
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: I get it, of course, and it's a lot of

506
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: people forget, like say like I don't know AW now

507
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 3: or TNA now and me ten years ago. Like there,

508
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 3: they're like, here's the idea. Come up with a cool promo,

509
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: and we can kind of throw some ideas back forth

510
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: with me. A lot of times it's like Vince wants

511
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: you to say these three sentences and you look back

512
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: and you're like, I'm so embarrassed that I said those

513
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: three sentences. So it's like it's not like I was

514
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: bad at a promo. It was like I hate this

515
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: cringey thing that I was told to say, and there

516
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: was no way around it.

517
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: You know.

518
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: A couple different times, you build up some equity and

519
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: you go, I'm gonna go out of my own and

520
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: then I got like a call from Jericho.

521
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: Saying, hey, that's the coolest promo you've ever done.

522
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: I was like, well, when I got back to Guerrill,

523
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: they told me I'm not talking for six months because

524
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: they it wasn't what they told me to say. Yeah,

525
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: he's like what okay, great, and so you like you

526
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: take the good with the bad and you go, I

527
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 3: have to listen and do exactly what the boss wants.

528
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 3: And you try and sneak something in that you think

529
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: it's not to pop yourself, it's to like help a

530
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 3: story or make it that much better. And even if

531
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: it is, they'd be like, we want you guys to

532
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: start stepping on some toes and you're like, all right,

533
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 3: you go out there like.

534
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: This guy, this guy, this guy.

535
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, hell yeah you get to I go, well, not

536
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: those toes, and like, well, who's toes do you want

537
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: me to step on? Jtg's get the hell out, like

538
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: I'm going after the top guys Like that's that's what

539
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: stepping on toes is. And you're like, you gotta remember

540
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 3: who the boss is and who his friends are and

541
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: take that into account.

542
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. Yeah.

543
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: I always found like, because in the beginning, promos were

544
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: not my strong point. I used to get really nervous,

545
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: especially if I had to do it verbatim. Well, when

546
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: I would get bullet points, I found that my mind

547
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: would start to wander and I would add all these

548
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: cool things, and I was so much more relaxed if

549
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: they just gave me a couple ideas instead of like

550
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: a page with blah blah blah blah blah. Because I'm

551
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: not good with memory.

552
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not a crazy memorizer either. But then even

553
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 3: if you do memorize an entire sheet of words, you're

554
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: just saying those words like you're not going you're not

555
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 3: feeling them. You're not like, oh this one really hits

556
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 3: hard here, and you're just like not winging in and

557
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 3: getting bullet points is where it is. Or then your

558
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 3: character and your body naturally just flows into whatever you

559
00:24:58,920 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: were actually in the moment.

560
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

561
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 2: And it really is more how you're saying some things

562
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: than the exact words. But several for about a decade straight,

563
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: it was I need this exact word.

564
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 3: And you're like okay, yeah, and then the chicken jumped

565
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: over the Okay, there's no emotion.

566
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: You're just not getting it and you're like, Okay, I

567
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 2: don't know, but uh, well, yeah that happens. That's part

568
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: of the deal.

569
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 3: And we all are nervous as hell at first, especially

570
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: the worst.

571
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: I used to shake, I would be. I was the worst.

572
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: That's that's all I had to say. Now I'm good,

573
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: but back then I was terrible.

574
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

575
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: But I loved your WW career even though you were

576
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: kind of a suppressed. Did a hell of a job.

577
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: But we're going to transition now because you know right now,

578
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: you're you're all over the place cheering. It was TNA,

579
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: m JPW literally rate triple A. You're on the Englands.

580
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: Even though when I told you about Wressell Kath you

581
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: didn't even know what it was. You're gonna learn. I'm learning,

582
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: and it takes a long Listen. I went right into

583
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: E c W. I never did in D either. I

584
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: wasn't that in that. Yeah, I didn't know any.

585
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: Trying to figure it out.

586
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we went bankrupt in seven years, So then

587
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: I had to learn really quick because I didn't know

588
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: who call and who to talk to you and you know,

589
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: so I get it, but you're you're all over the place.

590
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: And the one thing when they released that twenty two

591
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: people were released that one day, and your name was

592
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: on that list. I was shocked because I was just like, Wow,

593
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: I thought this was going to be a guy like you.

594
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: Said like an undertaker or like a stone could seed

595
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: Boston just there for the duration of your career.

596
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 2: So I was kind of shocked. Yeah, so uh.

597
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 3: And several years ago Vince was like, you know, when

598
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 3: it's time to hang it up, I appreciate you when

599
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: you come in here, because I, uh, usually when it

600
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 3: was like a group of people or you know, I

601
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 3: had some so much seniority that I could just go,

602
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: hey boss, we're gonna switch this other thing.

603
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: Yo.

604
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: I had like a better chance of getting something switched.

605
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 3: So I would always be sent to talk to him

606
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 3: about whatever we were doing that week or whatever.

607
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 2: Excuse me.

608
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: And then we got to a point where he said, yeah,

609
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 3: you know, when the time is right, you'll transition. You

610
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: in a couple of years down the road, you know,

611
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: you'll be like a player coach, like a Pete Rose,

612
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: and you'll be behind the scenes in the meetings with us,

613
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 3: and then still wrestling, and then eventually transitioned just full time,

614
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: you're here forever. I went, oh, Okay, that's that's the

615
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: way to go. And then a couple of more years

616
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 3: he was like, you know you'll be here and you'll

617
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: do this. I go, So I just assume this is

618
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: my life and eventually I'll slowly go behind the scenes

619
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 3: and help out, like this is great. And then I

620
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: got to a point where I really told myself, I go,

621
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: I only have a certain window, no matter how I

622
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: am with injuries. You have a certain window to where

623
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: you can still be a top somewhat of a game

624
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 3: changer at a different company, at a different show, at

625
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 3: an independent where you can have this match, these matches

626
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 3: that you wanted to have for the last fifteen years

627
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: that either Undertaker and Triple H went nineteen minutes over

628
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: at WrestleMania, so you have thirty seconds for your tag match,

629
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: or like things like that, to where you're like, well,

630
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 3: now I get a chance to do it where I'm

631
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: calling the shots, or if someone goes over by twenty minutes,

632
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: I can still do my match, or I still have

633
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 3: this thing. Or I saw this guy in Japan ten

634
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 3: years ago, I wanted to wrestle them. I never thought

635
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: it could happen. Now it's going to like can have

636
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: a ton of Hashi, Like I never thought the world

637
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 3: that would ever happen. But so I said, I only

638
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: have a few years where I have this window to

639
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: be healthy and where it matters extra to like be

640
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: in the ring with someone and have like a special

641
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: match or a special just like career after WWE.

642
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: So I said, I know I'm out of here unless

643
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: you guys got a bunch of money.

644
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: And they give me a bunch of money, and I said, okay,

645
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: when I go half there's no way they're gonna.

646
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: Let this entire contract go through because they shouldn't. I

647
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: am sitting at home like this is stupid. So halfway

648
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: through a year in, I go, this is great.

649
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna start planning on getting out of here

650
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: and going somewhere else. So a year in, I'm checking out.

651
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: I'm watching Japanese wrestling, I'm watching TNA, I'm watching AW

652
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: and watching everything. And I get to a point where

653
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: I go, hey, hey, now, I'm not even coming in

654
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 3: like getting an entrance. I'm not even tagging with Bob Rude.

655
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: I'm not even like making something. It's not even fun.

656
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: When someone pins me, I go, Vince, thanks for everything,

657
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: a twenty page email, this is the greatest job in

658
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 3: the world. And then I aired out some dirty laundry

659
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: about how it's bad and just in the last couple

660
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: of paragraphs. But the rest was very, very positive, and

661
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: I said, please, you have me in a position of

662
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: what a local can do, pay him and don't pay

663
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 3: me millions of.

664
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: Dollars to do it. Let me go.

665
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: Please, let me go do this while I still can't.

666
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: And he responded and said, wow, give me a week

667
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,959
Speaker 3: to think about this. I go, Vince, I go if

668
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: fly into Stanford tomorrow if you want me too. He goes, Okay,

669
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: just let me think about this and we'll figure something out.

670
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 3: I appreciate you laying this email. Great, and then two

671
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: weeks later I.

672
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: Was on the release list.

673
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: So that's terrific though that it worked out the way

674
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: it did. Yeah, So they could have been bitter and

675
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: be like, no, we're not gonna let you go, right,

676
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: and it's.

677
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, but I feel had they not

678
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 3: been bought out, I would have been stuck there.

679
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: Okay, but they were like, let's trim some pat millions

680
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: of dollars sitting at home on the bench.

681
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, good timing.

682
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: And he just asked to leave for the fifth time. Okay,

683
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: we'll let him know, right, Okay.

684
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: So it was like, uh, yeah, this is there's some

685
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: stuff in the past to where it was like handshake

686
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 3: deal that uh, the boss kind of backed out of,

687
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: so I get you job. I was happy to get

688
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: this one that was somewhat of a handshake deal to

689
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: let me out of a contract a year early.

690
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: So that's that's tremendous that it worked out the way

691
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: it did. So again, going back to when I heard

692
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: the releases, the first thing I thought of was, ou,

693
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: he's going to a W and then so And the

694
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: only reason why I said that is because of the money, right,

695
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: not thinking that you're you're a rich man because you've

696
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: worked there for so long. Probably smart with your money,

697
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: that's okay, but at the you know the age and

698
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: this stage in the game, you want to make as

699
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: much as you can. So my thought was like, he's

700
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: going to pick a W. And then I started thinking

701
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: about out all of your other things that you're doing,

702
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: because you know, we follow each other, so I see

703
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: your socials and I see what you're doing, and I

704
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: was like, they might kind of say, well, you can't

705
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: do this, you can't do that, so maybe he won't

706
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: be going there, so you end up choosing TNA, which

707
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: I was. I was shocked at first, and then I

708
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: was thrilled because I was like, this is awesome. They

709
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: have a great product. This is going to get more

710
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: eyes on them. Good for him, right am I right

711
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: with thinking like you chose TNA just because of a

712
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: little more freedom than maybe the no no.

713
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: So it's it's not even that.

714
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: I talked with Tony a long time ago and he

715
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: was like, hey, just see, you know, you could do

716
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: anything you want while.

717
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: You were okay, okay, you go.

718
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: You could have this.

719
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: Twitch stream YouTube, this comedy shows he wrestle independence like,

720
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 3: you get a lot of leeway here because I want,

721
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 3: like in a very positive way. He wants everyone to

722
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: have a good time and be doing the best possiblity.

723
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: I go, that's awesome. And a lot of people did

724
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: think I was going to aw and I and I

725
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: love a bunch of people at aid On Love aw

726
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 3: Tony's freaking great. I just was weighing my options and

727
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: figuring out I didn't have a plan. So Scott Demore

728
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: the first day that I was announced that I was

729
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 3: out of WW was like, what can I do to

730
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 3: get you here? I want you to see the blueprint

731
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 3: of how we do work things behind the scenes. We

732
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 3: have long term booking. Here's the planning. Here's what we're doing.

733
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't want to sign with anybody.

734
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: I want to try out.

735
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: I got this thing in my head, I want to

736
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 3: go make a name for myself on the Independence for

737
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: six months a year, just to see if I can

738
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 3: still go out, just to see if I can go

739
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 3: outside of this New York bubble because I've only been here.

740
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: I didn't do Independence, I didn't bounce around. I was

741
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 3: only here, and I have a pretty good, you know,

742
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: backlog of accolades. I want to see if I can

743
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 3: hang or be better or the best everywhere around the world.

744
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 3: So I thank you so much, but I just I

745
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: just get out of a long term relationship. I'm not

746
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 3: really looking. I'm not really looking to get engaged, you know,

747
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: for a few years here, or even engaged to be engaged.

748
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 3: And he kept talking to meet. How about we can

749
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 3: do some dates. I was like, all right, let's do

750
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: like eight or ten dates.

751
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: We'll try it out.

752
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: But I can still do everything on my ownies. Yes, okay, great.

753
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 3: So that's how it started. And I just really loved everyone.

754
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: I love Dreamer, I love everybody there.

755
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: Gail's the best.

756
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 3: There's so many and like, I won't say it's better

757
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 3: than every other locker room, because every other locker room when.

758
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: You're there, like, man, everybody wants this to succeed. This

759
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: is fantastic. It's a team. But it's even more so

760
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: the edge for me personally with TNAS because we don't

761
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: have a billion dollars. So no matter how much of

762
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: a team you are, what's happening You're like, do we

763
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: have catering today?

764
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 3: Oh?

765
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: Do we have security?

766
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 3: Like?

767
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: Is there tape? Like that kind of stuff really really

768
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: gets it.

769
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: It's that it's no, I'm getting flashbacks because we didn't

770
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: have anything right, Yeah, yeah, Like we didn't have many

771
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: of the artists we did our we didn't we didn't

772
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: have outlets nick in some of the buildings, so you

773
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: couldn't do your hair. Yeah, in no mirror. I was

774
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: in a men's room with it in front of you know,

775
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: you were and all I mean it was disgusting. That's

776
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: how ECW was, So I get it.

777
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 2: But there's something like beautiful about that, you know what

778
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: I mean? And I'm not even totally joking.

779
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 3: In a way where it's like, you know, there isn't

780
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 3: that billion dollars or millions of dollars behind you, and

781
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 3: you go and already and all those rosters are so

782
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 3: tight and they are working to a goal as a team,

783
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: it's like extra special to me. When you don't have that,

784
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: So now you're like, we are all a team, and

785
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 3: we're all doing I think, but we're all trying to

786
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 3: fight just to get a little bit like one percent

787
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 3: more respect in the business. So now it's that much

788
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 3: more of a special thing. So every roster like the business,

789
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 3: everyone works so much harder than other professional sports and

790
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: jobs that I love it and I will never ever

791
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 3: not say that that is the case. So I live

792
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 3: for that part amateur wrestling wise or pro wrestling like,

793
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 3: just it builds so much character and makes you go,

794
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: this is on me to make a change or make

795
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 3: something different about the business.

796
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: And if I don't, there's no one to blame.

797
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 3: Now, if you're in New York and you're told everywhere

798
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 3: to say and everything to do, it's a little out

799
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 3: of your hands. When you get a little leeway with

800
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 3: TNA independence, aw, now you either stand out or you

801
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 3: can't or you can't go back, like you know, I'm

802
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 3: being held back because I wasn't allowed to say you

803
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 3: get a lot of.

804
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: Leeway to do whatever you want and get yourself over.

805
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 3: And I'm trying to do it for a second time,

806
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 3: slowly but surely getting used to By the way, I'm

807
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: very used to New York one oh one wrestling, and

808
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 3: I was trying to adjust to TNA and AEW and

809
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 3: New Japan. And in the first couple of months, I'm

810
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 3: just starting to get there. I'm just getting my teeth

811
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: into it, let alone, to figure out the difference of

812
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: what the crowd wants, of what the product is and

813
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 3: the womework has been done, and the first couple of

814
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 3: months of matches are getting done, and I'm getting.

815
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 2: Better every day.

816
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: I think I stole a graphic. You're tagging with your brother.

817
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: Have you worked with him before?

818
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 3: Hilariously, we've only done comedy shows and been on some

819
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 3: stuff together. One time in NXT, they set I believe

820
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 3: I was like holding the money in the bank briefcase

821
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: contract and they sent myself an AJ to NXT just

822
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 3: to like be a part of a six man match,

823
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: just to get some people in the door or something.

824
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 2: I don't even remember why. Because my brother was in

825
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 2: the match, and I was like, oh, this is great.

826
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll do something with Ryan.

827
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 3: We'll start off, well, I'll talk a bunch of trash

828
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 3: and call you guys all idiots, you suck, and then

829
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 3: we'll get down to it and then we'll have Tripperetta

830
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: hit this finish.

831
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 2: And Ryan'll hit this day of this and they we're

832
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: not doing any of that.

833
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 3: This is and by the way, it was barely NXC.

834
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 3: It wasn't like big, you know, Olympic Training Center NXC.

835
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 3: It's very new NXT. And they're like, we're not doing.

836
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: Any of that.

837
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 3: You're squashing these guys, and like you're like, oh, are

838
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 3: you Like yes, you're not, Like oh, so we didn't

839
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: really get to.

840
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: Have like a fun match and do things. So this

841
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 2: will be the first time that's us. We're actually doing

842
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 2: something together, especially planned out. So yeah, it's very exciting fun.

843
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: Well that's fun. So I love the wrestling. Love talking

844
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: about wrestling. Contuct it for another five hours. I want

845
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: to trainsition over to your comedy because I find it

846
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: really interesting. I know you did something called Flying Chuck.

847
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: Was that your like your first attempt at like doing

848
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: these live shows on your own?

849
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: No, that's just that's a fun show.

850
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 3: That I did in where you tell stories and you

851
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 3: do a little improv in between the basin stories and

852
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: it's fun.

853
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 2: And I did a couple of those my brother. That

854
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 2: was at the beginning. But I was very lucky because.

855
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 3: Of social media. I was born with wrestling even fifteen

856
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 3: years ago. So I'm just putting like jokes on my Twitter,

857
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: like just making jokes of whatever happened to the news

858
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 3: or something in wrestling or something in TV.

859
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: Whatever. And Sean O'Connor, who's writing for.

860
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 3: James Corden and a couple other things at the time,

861
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: he's like, hey, man, you want to be on the show.

862
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I don't really have any material written,

863
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 3: but yeah, I'll do it. And it was just like

864
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: he goes, you have no right to be on this show,

865
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 3: but I'm a wrestling fans.

866
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 2: I'm putting you on it.

867
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 3: So it's a bunch of open micers and Andy Kindler

868
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 3: and Andy Kidler's gonna rush for thirty minutes and then

869
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 3: you go do your three minutes, and I go, okay,

870
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 3: I'll do it.

871
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: So I wrote out like a three minute Chipotle bit

872
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 2: that I didn't know was work or not. I didn't

873
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: go to do open mics.

874
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 1: I didn't.

875
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 2: It was just like walking on stage, and by stage,

876
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 2: it's the back room of a coffee house.

877
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 3: It's a stage in silver Lake, Yeah, which is technically

878
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: a stage. Most of the people are in the crowd.

879
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 3: They're like going over their jokes and like rolling their eyes.

880
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 3: And then Andy Kindler comes out, and if you don't

881
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: know who he is, like he's on Bob's Burger's. But

882
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 3: I've known it from like the eighties as long term

883
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 3: stand up comedy, like I'm a huge fan.

884
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 2: He goes out basically with no material.

885
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 3: It just crushes for thirty minutes on everybody, just like

886
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 3: seemingly making it up off the top of his head,

887
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: kills and walks out. And then I go out there

888
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 3: and I'm like, don't drop the mic. Remember you're the

889
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: first word. And I'm like so scared, and I do that.

890
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: It's a four minute set. I think I do it

891
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: like two and a half minutes because I'm so scared

892
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: and just run through it. But the very first opening

893
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 3: thing I said, I said this opening sentence, and it

894
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 3: felt like a minute when I have just total silence

895
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 3: and I feel my face.

896
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 2: Getting hot and I'm like this sucks. What did I do?

897
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 3: And one person in the crowd like, who's on the particles?

898
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: I went, okay, and I looked, Andy Kindler is still there.

899
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 3: He was supposed to leave break to other show and

900
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 3: he's laughing at a thing. I said, off to the

901
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 3: side of goo, what okay. So then I extra run

902
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 3: through like the next two minutes of my set.

903
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 2: It sucks. Who cares. I don't know what I'm doing.

904
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 2: But I got up station. I go, oh my god,

905
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: I ge't wait to switch this, this and this. I

906
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: gotta do it again.

907
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: And it was like I was hooked then, and that

908
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 3: was a long long time ago, but every year I'd

909
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 3: get one or two shots. But back then that was

910
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 3: the five six days a week with WWE and myself,

911
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 3: Shamus Kofee Miz. We're constantly just staying on the road

912
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 3: or doing pr in between, so like there was no

913
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 3: time off. So getting I started ten years ago, but

914
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 3: it was like the first six years was like two

915
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: shows a year, and it was like sometimes five minutes

916
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 3: sometimes and it was but that was I had no

917
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm trying to find my notebooks, like.

918
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 2: Notebooks like this just stacked up around my house.

919
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: Just stories written down.

920
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: It's stories, but mostly like stand ups of like this

921
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 3: is very annoying waiting at this light. This person doing

922
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: this thing, This person at Chipotle acts like they're getting

923
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 3: paid by the rice to put it on my breath,

924
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 3: and it's just like there's all these millions of little things,

925
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 3: and I was trying to make them into jokes, and

926
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 3: then knowing that several of my first shows will just

927
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 3: be wrestling fans, and it's like, Okay, I gotta put

928
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 3: some wrestling stuff in there. So I always tried to

929
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 3: have some little balance of like wrestling stuff, dating stuff,

930
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: and like some kind of fast food to where it

931
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 3: was like if you're a wrestling fan, you know, if

932
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 3: you're a hardcore wrestling fan, you know forty percent of

933
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 3: the bits. If you don't watch anything and just know

934
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 3: the rock at whole covid, you'll get twenty percent of it.

935
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 3: If you don't watch wrestling at all, know anything, twenty

936
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: percent of it will still be me on Tinder trying

937
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 3: to get a girlfriend or something. So I always wanted

938
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 3: I didn't want to isolate or take away the audience

939
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: that I was begging to get. Like I knew wrestling

940
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: fans were there and I had to give them something.

941
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 3: But also the occasional wrestling pant has a girlfriend, so

942
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 3: let's get some tinder something.

943
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I interviewed Jim Florentine on this show before

944
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: Excel and yeah, I'm a big fan. And he's a

945
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: wrestling fan as well. So when he was going, you know,

946
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: he knew he's CW blah blah blah. And I had

947
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: asked him. I said, you know, sometimes you're pretty crude

948
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: about like family members or stuff. I said, do you

949
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: make that up? And do they get mad? And he goes,

950
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, I usually fabricate a lot

951
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: of my stand up. He goes, and if they get

952
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: mad and then don't talk to me, it doesn't really matter.

953
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: And I said, I'm the type of person like you,

954
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: even in like when it comes back to wrestling promos,

955
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: you can call me any name in the book as

956
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: long as it's in front of the camera. Like if

957
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: you did it behind the scenes, it would break my heart. Oh,

958
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: I can definitely sit in the front row and take

959
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: it and laugh along because that's what he is. And

960
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: you have to laugh at yourself. Yes, you know. And

961
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: I learned so much from like guys like him, and

962
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: I interviewed a couple of other guys, but he was

963
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: like the biggest comedian. And I asked him, like, do

964
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: you get heckled a lot? Like how how do you

965
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: handle a heckler?

966
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 2: Are you telling me?

967
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

968
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: You how how do you handler handle a heckler?

969
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 3: I like not having something prepared and just saying something.

970
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 3: And I was very lucky to for a couple of

971
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: years to have Sarah Tiana, who's a genuine headliner. She

972
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 3: would middle for me because she knew how to do

973
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 3: stand up and she would deal with the globs and

974
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 3: she could get.

975
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 2: The order and everything going behind the scenes. So she

976
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 2: was really good about pulling people out because a lot

977
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 2: of times people were there.

978
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm very lucky wrestling fans will go out of their

979
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 3: way to support you in some other venue, so.

980
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 2: They go out of their way to be there.

981
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 3: But she said for a while she could just see there,

982
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 3: just see they're like, when's Nick coming out?

983
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 2: Like you're not him, You're not a wrestler. What are

984
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 2: you doing? Are you banging him?

985
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: We hate you?

986
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: Like, so she was like she was always ready to

987
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: go and.

988
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 3: Stupidly, almost no one hackles me and something to yell

989
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 3: out like Nikki or something, and you're like, Okay, that's

990
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 3: not even that funny, like all right, got it you stage,

991
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 3: I was like yeah, and Sarah would She would always

992
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 3: be like, listen, there's a reason they don't pass out

993
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 3: these mf.

994
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 2: And MIC's at the door. There's one and I'm holding it,

995
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 2: so like sit there. And I was like, oh damn,

996
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 2: all right.

997
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 3: So and then she knew very little about wrestling, so

998
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 3: we would do a Q and A and it would

999
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 3: be extra funny because they're like.

1000
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 2: When are you going to aw and she goes the

1001
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 2: root beer and.

1002
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 3: It was just like we're all set, like it was

1003
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 3: just and then we would just bust each other's balls

1004
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 3: and yeah, actually did a Comedy Central roast battle together.

1005
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: I saw it awesome. I so fun to write jokes.

1006
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: It was naked to TV, like what the hell? So

1007
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: she was a killer and she always really helped out.

1008
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 3: And then eventually they got to a part where if

1009
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 3: you're there and you're a wrestling fan, if I get

1010
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 3: all my stories and a mina, I could do like

1011
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 3: forty minutes. I wouldn't say that it was like really good.

1012
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 3: It was just I could pull that kind of time

1013
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 3: and tell some wrestling stories if I needed to. But

1014
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 3: also I'm working on you know, my Chipotle and tender

1015
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 3: stuff Chipotle.

1016
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: Did you see the Tom Brady roost?

1017
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 2: I saw so many clips of it that it was

1018
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 2: so good. She kilt like she always did.

1019
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: You know, she was the best. I thought Nikki was

1020
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: the best out of all of them, just her to

1021
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: everything hit for her. So then I went back and

1022
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: I found a reality show that she did, and I

1023
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: was kind of disappointed with her.

1024
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, is it her hosting?

1025
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: No, it's her, it's her her life. She had to

1026
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: move like back to the Midwest when COVID hit, and

1027
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: but it was I know there are work, I mean

1028
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: we you know, I know realities at work, but this one,

1029
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: it just it was too too much, Like I I

1030
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: just knew most of this stuff was just like that's

1031
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: not happening. That's I don't know. I was just I

1032
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: love her stand up, but I was disappointed in her

1033
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: in her show. But I think she's great, Like she's

1034
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: funny as he killer.

1035
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 2: She looks great and then probably makes people more mad,

1036
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 2: which is so great.

1037
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: Like I love that she was awesome.

1038
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 2: She was like, if you're a killer, and smart and funny,

1039
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: like that's the best cowboy you could like. I love that.

1040
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben affleck just he struck out.

1041
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 2: He wasn't really did he have a good joke.

1042
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: At least he was. It was kind of a bit

1043
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: about like you know, guys tweeting at you, calling you

1044
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: a loser, like you know, the keyboard warrior kind of thing,

1045
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: and you could tell he was kind of reading off

1046
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: the teleprompter. But his delay I thought as an actor

1047
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: it would have been more precise. But then he got

1048
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: pissed off and he left. He didn't even like go

1049
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: shake to Tom Brady's hands. He left, and I think

1050
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: he was pissed. And then I watched THEO Vaughn is

1051
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: another a killer. Now I I'm a big reality show

1052
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: not so I know him from like road Rules and

1053
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: now yeah, like I'm back in the my age, but

1054
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: going back in the in the days of road Yes,

1055
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,439
Speaker 1: and so anyway, I was listening to his podcast. Nicky

1056
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: was on his podcast and she was saying Ben was

1057
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: supposed to stay. And then when Tom did his bit,

1058
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: he was referring to to him, but the camera would

1059
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: look around, He's like he's not even here.

1060
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 2: I feel like I would have heard more stuff about that.

1061
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: What the deal was, I don't know. I think I

1062
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: think because he kind of like lost the audience and

1063
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: kind of bombed. He got pissed off and he just

1064
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: walked off the stage. Pistol off that it was good.

1065
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: You would think, you know, actors like they commit to

1066
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 2: the bit.

1067
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 3: But also some people like we get it, Like I

1068
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 3: don't know, we I want to be stand up so

1069
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 3: like I get excited for the Roads because I used

1070
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 3: to watch the old ones. I write down all these jokes.

1071
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 3: I want to be a part of it. I want

1072
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 3: to go watch them.

1073
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 2: So we get excited about it.

1074
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 3: But I also try and like tell other people, like

1075
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 3: when you're when you're doing media rounds and you bounce

1076
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 3: up to like thirty radio stations and twenty TV shows

1077
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 3: a lot of or someone comes to be a guest

1078
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 3: host on Raw and they're in the middle of a

1079
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 3: thing for their movie. They're like, they're on no sleep

1080
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 3: through on two days of shit, they don't know what

1081
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 3: wrestling is. They don't give a damn about this, and

1194
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't have that dream. No, never. Maybe if I

1195
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: was eighteen, I who would have had it?

1196
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 3: So I'm asking if you ever like like, oh, this

1197
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 3: is the show, Like you know, I'm not mocking this,

1198
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 3: but like you go, guys go to wrestling shows. They're

1199
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 3: in the rocks business, casual from the nineties. They got

1200
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 3: a title over their shoulder and their sightlight side. Now

1201
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 3: I get dressed for eighties rock shows. I got my

1202
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 3: stonewash jeans, my sleeveless shirt and a headband. But I

1203
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 3: dress like that anyway. So it's like, not totally fair.

1204
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 3: You never went and we're like they're gonna notice me.

1205
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 3: This is it? Like here we go.

1206
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. I've been to six

1207
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: concerts my whole life.

1208
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 2: Okay, just six. I don't blank if you are locked

1209
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 2: in a closet somewhere.

1210
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: Twice for help. No, you know what my biggest fear

1211
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: is about going to a concert, Like I'll have to

1212
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: pee and I don't know where the bathroom is, and

1213
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: then I can't get back to my seat.

1214
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm a weirdo. Two things.

1215
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 3: No. Not.

1216
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 2: When I'm booking tickets, I look for an aisle seat

1217
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 2: so I can go pee.

1218
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 3: Okay, because after one beer, I have to pee every

1219
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 3: quarter of a beer because you break the seal, so

1220
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 3: I got to hold it. Yeah, but once once it's broken,

1221
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 3: I'm ruined. So I need to find the set list online,

1222
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 3: find some bullet points, like okay, okay, after a wild side,

1223
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 3: they're gonna do a little medley, so I can run

1224
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 3: in the bathroom there, okay. And then after girls girls

1225
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 3: girls that I know they're going into this uh cover

1226
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 3: that I don't like, so I can run to the bathroom.

1227
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 2: I get it. I look for aisle seats.

1228
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 3: I time out bathroom breaks because once it's broken, I

1229
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 3: can't stop it.

1230
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 2: And if I'm going to one of those shows, I'm

1231
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 2: not not having thirty beers. So I gotta sing. I

1232
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 2: gotta be able to sing, so Vince Neil hears me

1233
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 2: on stage.

1234
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:49,880

1250
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 3: he threw a rose, and I'm a mile away. The

1389
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 3: So we get to a point where I go, hey,

1390
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 3: would it be funny if, like, uh, you know, we've

1391
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 3: earned some respect for these guys, let's do a little

1392
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 3: like a joke, like I'll put a sandwich in the

1393
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 3: middle of ring because we'll do our entrance first and

1394
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 3: then back.

1395
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Then we used to grab the.

1396
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 3: Mic and do like a dumb chair like I'm Jerry,

1397
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 3: I'm Larry or whatever the hell the names were, so well,

1398
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 3: I wanted to do like a bugs Bunny trapped where

1399
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 3: you take like the microphone with the because it's the

1400
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 3: long court. This is twenty years ago, so you know,

1401
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 3: it's not all digital mics. So that we lay like

1402
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 3: a big lasso in there, and I was like, that'll

1403
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 3: be funny, like maybe Big Show goes again it we'll

1404
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 3: catch him like we caught We'll catch or something. Yeah, yeah,

1405
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 3: And then I go and then we'll be like the

1406
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 3: the Marx Brothers and like we'll all hold the microphone

1407
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 3: and go to walk away, and we'll all fall down

1408
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 3: because he's such a big giant and he's so strong

1409
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 3: and we're idiot, the three stooges. So I put a

1410
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 3: sandwich in the middle read I do the giant lasso

1411
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 3: around it in the middle ring.

1412
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: We get out of there, Big Show picks it up.

1413
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Uh goes to bite the sandwich like like for a joke,

1414
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 2: and like we catch him and he's like what like

1415
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 2: we caught him for really?

1416
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: He's like what is this like so he's wouldn't tell

1417
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: him no, it was like a joke, so like.

1418
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 3: What we caught it, we were all gonna fall but

1419
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 3: we didn't. He was just he was uh kind of

1420
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 3: mad about it already, so like we didn't get to it.

1421
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 3: Then he we then we had to wrestle him and

1422
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 3: it was well.

1423
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: That would have been so fun if you took like

1424
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: a face pump while in the sandwich.

1425
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 3: We were all gonna go like we caught him and

1426
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 3: then we all fall down and it's like, yeah, us

1427
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 3: around and beat us up.

1428
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 2: But he wasn't happy about it. He got but yeah,

1429
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 2: but it was like it was a funny thing and

1430
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 2: we love Show. And then then we also got to

1431
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: a point where we were doing like a fake, like a.

1432
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 3: Prank version on WW where they would always prank people

1433
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 3: like Big Show or somebody else, and they'd send.

1434
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 2: Me out and be like, hey, Show, we're just messing

1435
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 2: with you.

1436
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 3: And he's like red and sweating and furious, and I'm like, sorry, buddy,

1437
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 3: I know, but this wasn't my idea. I got to

1438
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 3: a point where but you know, we Show and Kane,

1439
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 3: I love those guys, and it was that we tried

1440
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 3: to do a rib one time and it didn't work

1441
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 3: out in our favor, so I and that was I'll

1442
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 3: stay out of.

1443
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 2: All that stuff.

1444
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 3: Do you have any reasonable ones that aren't someone being

1445
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 3: roofied or thrown off a building or something like?

1446
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 2: Do you have any fun regular ones?

1447
01:02:59,040 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: Do? I?

1448
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 2: I know where you worked?

1449
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, I mean you know, they they didn't

1450
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: really do at least not to me, there wasn't really

1451
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: like hateful rims like you hear a lot of like

1452
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: the hateful hazing. Our locker room didn't do stuff like that,

1453
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Like I tell us one of the stories. It's been

1454
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: told so many times, but apparently you haven't heard it. C. W. Anderson.

1455
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: So he had a really bad like gag reflex, and

1456
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: he would get sick if like he saw either somebody

1457
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,959
Speaker 1: you know, getting sick or defecating or something gross. Would

1458
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: make him one of the momit as well, And so

1459
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: we thought it would be We thought it would be

1460
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: funny if Tommy Dreamer stuck a brownie up his ass

1461
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: and uh pretended to like go to the bathroom in

1462
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: the middle of the locker room. But first of all,

1463
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: it was my brownie. And I was pissed because I

1464
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: wanted to eat the brownie. But I said, I'm a

1465
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: team player, you can have. I sacrificed my brownie for.

1466
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 2: You know, I appreciate you, said your cheat meal for

1467
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: another day.

1468
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 3: I did.

1469
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: Well. Oh back then, I ate like a p I

1470
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: ate whatever my metabolism was, so I didn't gain announce

1471
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, I was super thin. But yeah, so I

1472
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: gave my brownie and and I just had learned recently

1473
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: in somebody reliving the story, they said that Tommy wrestled

1474
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: with the brownie. I don't remember him wrestling with that brownie.

1475
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: I thought he just stuck it up, as you know,

1476
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: up his bumb when he came to the back. But regardless,

1477
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 1: he had it up in his pants because he wore

1478
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: the big black pants. And what I think he was

1479
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: he was crouched over in the position like grunting, and

1480
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: they made me run and get c W and say, oh,

1481
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: you're needed in the room, and I pull him in

1482
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: the room. And then as soon as he comes in,

1483
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: the brownie literally plops out and like his ass is

1484
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: just bare ass, and he literally starts gagging and he

1485
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 1: threw up, and.

1486
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 4: It was it was just the browning, and so you know,

1487
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 4: it was just well, no, I really said, I'll get

1488
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 4: another one.

1489
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 2: That wasn't he said he wanted to borrow it.

1490
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: That wasn't my cup of tea. He probably he probably

1491
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 1: ate it afterwards, because that's why he is. But I

1492
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: did not eat that story, thank you very much. But

1493
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: it was just stupid little dumb ribs that we did.

1494
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, you would have loved our locker room it was.

1495
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 2: It was a hut.
