1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: I was sitting shotgun, Brian was in the back seat,

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: and Shane had this like fifty four Chevy with like

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: a big block super modded motor under the hood, and

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: we were going down the expressway like one hundred and

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: twenty miles an hour. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready's

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: about to hit the fan? Welcome to Sanctioned Thursdays Terrestling.

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: We fready, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another episode of

8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: Unsanctioned Thursdays. I promised you guys at the end of

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Wednesday show that we would start with some negativity, because

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to start the day,

11
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: isn't it, Jeff, start with some bullshit? So here we go.

12
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: We get a one star review. Oh wait, one star

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: one Jeff, so get ready to be ye tell us

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: what rufos aside? Let's see, well, let's see. I don't know.

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: He says that the headline, Oh no, the headline is commercials, commercials, commercials,

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: and the review is last episode was twelve minutes long

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: with nine minutes of commercials. Thanks Dix. He didn't write Dix.

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: I threw that part it. He didn't write dis But okay,

19
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: hold on rufos, I hear, I hear you, but your

20
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: math is off because our episodes are not twelve minutes long,

21
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: so you're exaggerating. However, I acknowledge there are three sets

22
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: of commercials. Twenty five to thirty minutes worth of content.

23
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: May feel like a lot, but I appreciate I hear

24
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I am trying to make the episodes longer.

25
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: We are trying to make the episodes longer, and I

26
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: don't think it's an impossible quest that we're on, So

27
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: bear with us. Hang in there. Jeff's probably gonna cut

28
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: into you a little bit, but let me just tell you,

29
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: I freaking hear you, dude. Yeah, and what you wrote

30
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: is funny, and sorry for saying that you called his dicks.

31
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: Hey, Rufo, if that is your real name, Rufo, you

32
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: got a wrestling name to leave your one star reviews.

33
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: You didn't want to put your actual name. You're afraid

34
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: will find you. You should be afraid we'll find your Rufo.

35
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, Pal, you think I like commercials, I don't.

36
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: When I'm watching wrestling and they keep jumping over to

37
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: watch my reality show with Mars, I don't like that

38
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: crap either. I don't like commercials, but that's what pays

39
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: the bills. That's what pays the bills. That's what lets

40
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: us have this podcast. You know, as long as you

41
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: like the nine minutes we're doing when we're on, then

42
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: we're doing our job. That's the whole point. But we

43
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: do love you for listening. Please don't give up. We're

44
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: gonna make these episodes longer. I am growing in success

45
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: in stand up comedy, and Freddie Prince Junior works more

46
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: than anyone I've I thought he retired from acting, and

47
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: every time I turned something on, he's on a big

48
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: like a high budget movie than a Hallmark movie. Then

49
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: a commercial for Cascade. This guy warns, baby, none of

50
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: that's true. That is true, dude. He's murdering chicks and pools.

51
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: He's dating girls and dance studios.

52
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: This guy works all right, rufos, you've taken enough abuse

53
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: from Jeff and you've gotten enough love for me. But

54
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: anytime you guys want to send a review hateful or not,

55
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: that wasn't even hateful. I threw in the dick's part

56
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: to make it seem meaner that it was just that

57
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: was just a criticism. I got got you, dude. I

58
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: can take criticism. Let's talk some Thursday shit. We could

59
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: talk wrestling news. I can give you guys an update.

60
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: I will soon have no more updates to give. I

61
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: will have my definitive yes or no by the end

62
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: of this week or by the end of next week.

63
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: I'll repeat that, or by the end of next week.

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: So give me two weeks. If I don't have an

65
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: answer for you on the next Thursday episode, the one

66
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: after that, you will, And then after that I'll start

67
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: giving you guys a backstory of how the process went,

68
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: where I thought it went well, where I thought it didn't,

69
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: what things I would change if and now. I put

70
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: a lot of thought into it so to be kind

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: of like a not a documentary, but sort of like

72
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: a podcast documentary of how the process went. But I'm close.

73
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: I'm really frigging close. I've been talking with my booker,

74
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: and we're so excited at some of the matches, including

75
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: our potential main event that we could do if we

76
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: get the yes soon enough. So I'm just really excited,

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: more excited than anybody outside of the people that are

78
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: involved with making this show. With me, I'll be relieved

79
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: for the journey to come to an end, hopefully with

80
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: the successful conclusion. It's been a lot of stress, a

81
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: lot of good stress and bad stress, but a lot

82
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: of stress. Let's stick with wrestling, and let's stick with

83
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: wrestling news because I don't have anything else to report,

84
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 1: but the interweb did because Tony Kahan and Shane McMahon

85
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: were seen in a meeting together. I thought the photo

86
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: was fake. I thought it was just a fake, like

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: a good job on like not CGI but whatever, like photos,

88
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: that's what it's called. But apparently it was real. Shane's

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: made a statement, and a statement goes as follows. I'll

90
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: do a Shane McMahon impression. Tony and I were connected

91
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: through a mutual friend and we had a great meeting.

92
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: We talked about many things, but mostly about our shared

93
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: love for the business and the rewards and challenges of

94
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: working with family. I congratulated him on the five year

95
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: anniversary of AEW and look forward to how he evolves

96
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: the business moving forward. That was said by Shane McMahon.

97
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, mister Jeff Di.

98
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of theories on this. I love

99
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: Shane him and by the way, I'm good good, He's.

100
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: A cool dude.

101
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: Man.

102
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: He drives super fast. To help him bro, he put

103
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: me in his car. One time. We were driving back

104
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: from Stanford with me and the head writer for All

105
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: This dude, Brian Gowertz, and I was sitting shotgun. Brian

106
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: was in the back seat, and Shane had this like

107
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: fifty four Chevy with like a big block super modded

108
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: motor under the hood. And we were going down the

109
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: expressway like one hundred and twenty miles an hour. Oh my,

110
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there like yelling out the window like I'm

111
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: twenty one years old, howling at the moon. And I

112
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: look back and Brian Gewurtz has his hands are white

113
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: knuckled on either side of the car, and he's like turned.

114
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: He's already like the whitest dude ever. He's like transparent.

115
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: You can see his heart beating in his chest and

116
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: he's like, sow down. Shade's just cackling like a madman.

117
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit, maybe we should slow down

118
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: a little bit. It was mad, fun dude. He's a

119
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: cool dude. Anyway. That's my Shane McMahon story.

120
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: I've always was like when I was young, I was

121
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: never like a Shane McMahon guy. Like I was never

122
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 2: like that's gonna be my favorite match, he's my favorite

123
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: wrestler or whatever.

124
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: But I've always you know, just the fact that he's.

125
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 2: Vince McMahon's son, Like he's always been in the business,

126
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: Like he's always been around. He's got the best entrance music.

127
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: Really love Shane McMahon. One time I was going to

128
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: an XFL football game. You and your wife had a

129
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: suite for the game, Like you had like a little

130
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: bo what is it called the Sweet right, yeah? Yeah,

131
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: And so you were like, come on over to the suite.

132
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: So I was like so excited, and in your was

133
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: Shane McMahon, and yes, I couldn't believe it was I

134
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: was already like new friends with you. So it's like,

135
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm hanging out with Freddy Prince Junior.

136
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: This is pretty cool. And then like then Sarah Michelle Gellers,

137
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: I was like, that's pretty that's a nice little bonus

138
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: to already get into hang out with Freddy Prince Junior.

139
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: And then Shane McMahon was in the box and I

140
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: was like, this is this is the life righter. But

141
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: I didn't get any I didn't get to talk to him.

142
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 2: I didn't get he was he was sure.

143
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: With the lawyer of the team. They were in full

144
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: on business mode. Yeah.

145
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I was like a little disappointed. I was like,

146
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: dangn man, I didn't get to like kick it or

147
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: like he didn't get to whatever was shanean man. But

148
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: then I later in life, you know, got to meet

149
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: Shane McMahon at the Lakers game and now we've become

150
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: friendly and he and he's the best.

151
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm not.

152
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna see him in ae W.

153
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's what that is.

154
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: Tell me. I don't know.

155
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: If I had a guess, I would say that he might.

156
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: He just kind of seeing what his options are, you

157
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: know what I mean, like just kind of seeing where

158
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: he can land and like like what he wants to do.

159
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: That's what I think. If he wants to go to

160
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: a w you know, they'd have him. Tony Kahan will

161
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: buy him up like a like a wrestling toy, like

162
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: collect his little wrestling.

163
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't need the money. He doesn't need the money

164
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: him getting bought up like that.

165
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he wants to be in WWE, but

166
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: there's just too much stuff still there as far as

167
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: baggage and all those things. Too many opinions floating around there.

168
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: That's that's this is. These are all just my guesses.

169
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: I haven't asked him about it or anything like that.

170
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: I think that he's just kind of seeing where he

171
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: can be what like what like what what are the

172
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: options out there for him? Does is this is WB

173
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: gonna get all interested now that they know Tony Khan

174
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: and him met is Is Tony gon going to offer

175
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: him some crazy, you know, offer that he would that

176
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: he would entertain. I think he's just kind of seeing

177
00:08:44,559 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: where or if he wants to do this still. I

178
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: wonder when I worked there, Shane stepped away and I

179
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: think didn't start maybe purchased a Chinese cable company or

180
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: something like that, like distribution, like television distribution. So I

181
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: wonder if they were talking about maybe it's more like

182
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: international distribution and things like that, and and his thoughts

183
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: on how they could sort of build their brand and

184
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: expand more more globally or something like that.

185
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: I wonder it's all speculating. He's also such like he's

186
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: got thought it was a fake photo.

187
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: He's got so many things going on, you know, he's

188
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: like he's he's got like you know, all the things

189
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: with his kids, like he's very active and all of

190
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: his interests and things like that. So I imagine being

191
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: away from wrestling for the small amount of time he's

192
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: been away has been nice for him, like you know,

193
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'm like enjoying life.

194
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm getting to like, you know, go do stuff. He

195
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: went to a Yankees game. You know. Funny he lived

196
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: the life that his dad always wanted. Like Vince's dad

197
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: would never let him get in the ring. So when

198
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: Shane asked, Vince was like, yeah, hell, yeah, go ahead.

199
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: And Shane had some of the most memorable matches of

200
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: his generation, like the ambulance match with Kelly and things

201
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, he got to do some wild shit.

202
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: And I remember when he retired from wrestling so to speak,

203
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: and said, thank you, it was a privilege you guys

204
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: letting me share the ring with you. Like he was

205
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: so respectful to all the men that he wrestled with.

206
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: So I know he doesn't want to go back to wrestling.

207
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: He blew out both his friggin's the last time he

208
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: got in. But I wonder if there's not bad blood,

209
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: but if there's not room for him at WWE, and

210
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: he still has a passion for wrestling, like that's the

211
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: only other show in town. Last shit ain't off the

212
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: ground yet, you know what I mean, Like, Yeah, why

213
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't you go there and just see if there's something

214
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: that they're lacking that's one of your strengths that you

215
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: could help, you know, bring to the table. I don't

216
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: know Shane is a booker or anything like that, because

217
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't working there in that capacity when I was there.

218
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: But there's got to be a lot of ways he

219
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: can help him.

220
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: And he's got so much value, Like I mean, the

221
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: fact that like he's been in every corner of the

222
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: business his entire life.

223
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: There's just like at some capacity for sure, I think.

224
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: So Yeah, I just can't imagine that he wouldn't be

225
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: valuable to anyone any kind.

226
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: Of wrestling group, is what I would think. But also

227
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: who knows. He was always mad cool man. I remember

228
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: some of Shane helms. The Hurricane came up with this

229
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: idea to get Funaki back on TV, and he was

230
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: going to be kung Fu Naki and he wrote the

231
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: song to Kung Fu Fighting. He was like everybody loves

232
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: Kung Fu Naki and we got like our truth to

233
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: sing it, and he gave him the crane kick, the

234
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: Daniel LaRusso Crane kicks his finisher and MVP took it

235
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: because MVP was a straight up g and generous like

236
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: that and took a goofy finisher and took a loss

237
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: to a goofy finisher. It takes a lot of heart

238
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: to do that. So I remember they were pitching the

239
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: idea and I don't remember who it was, but Shane

240
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: was just walking by and he's like, what are you

241
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: guys working on? And someone just goes, oh, just bringing

242
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: Funaki back on TV? What do you think about Kung Funaki?

243
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: And Shane just looks at him, shakes his head and goes,

244
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: that's pretty fucking good. Just walked away and we were

245
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: all like, yeah, Kung Fuki. We ended up getting them

246
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: on TV. It worked for like a month. It was

247
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: like a little month four week storyline for him. Dude

248
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: as cool as hell. I love that.

249
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: Do you think the guy who snapped the picture of

250
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: Tony Khan talking to Shane is fired?

251
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: I wonder I.

252
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: Because do you see their face? They looked at them,

253
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: looked at him like he just like like they weren't

254
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: happy about it, or like that they were just confused

255
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: why he was in the room, like they might even

256
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: not known he was taking a picture or her her

257
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: or him.

258
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: But maybe it still looks fake to me the photos.

259
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: I know, it's not like they're like they both look

260
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: at it like you know when you walk in on

261
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: a meeting or something, and they both like they're not offended,

262
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: but they're surprised, like, hey, we were talking, you know.

263
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah it looked like that. No, I agree. I wonder.

264
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: I wonder or maybe they meant to do it and

265
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: maybe that was the plan all along. Maybe they got

266
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: a promotion on behalf of Jeff I. I'm Freddie Prinz.
