WEBVTT - Tony Khan and Shane McMahon Working Together?

0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting shotgun, Brian was in the back seat,

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and Shane had this like fifty four Chevy with like

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:10.560
<v Speaker 1>a big block super modded motor under the hood, and

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.039
<v Speaker 1>we were going down the expressway like one hundred and

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty miles an hour. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready's

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>about to hit the fan? Welcome to Sanctioned Thursdays Terrestling.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>We fready, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another episode of

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.559
<v Speaker 1>Unsanctioned Thursdays. I promised you guys at the end of

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday show that we would start with some negativity, because

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:46.639
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a good way to start the day,

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 1>isn't it, Jeff, start with some bullshit? So here we go.

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>We get a one star review. Oh wait, one star

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>one Jeff, so get ready to be ye tell us

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>what rufos aside? Let's see, well, let's see. I don't know.

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>He says that the headline, Oh no, the headline is commercials, commercials, commercials,

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and the review is last episode was twelve minutes long

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>with nine minutes of commercials. Thanks Dix. He didn't write Dix.

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I threw that part it. He didn't write dis But okay,

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>hold on rufos, I hear, I hear you, but your

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>math is off because our episodes are not twelve minutes long,

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>so you're exaggerating. However, I acknowledge there are three sets

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of commercials. Twenty five to thirty minutes worth of content.

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>May feel like a lot, but I appreciate I hear

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying. I am trying to make the episodes longer.

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>We are trying to make the episodes longer, and I

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's an impossible quest that we're on, So

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>bear with us. Hang in there. Jeff's probably gonna cut

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>into you a little bit, but let me just tell you,

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I freaking hear you, dude. Yeah, and what you wrote

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>is funny, and sorry for saying that you called his dicks.

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Rufo, if that is your real name, Rufo, you

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>got a wrestling name to leave your one star reviews.

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 2>You didn't want to put your actual name. You're afraid

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>will find you. You should be afraid we'll find your Rufo.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing, Pal, you think I like commercials, I don't.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>When I'm watching wrestling and they keep jumping over to

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 2>watch my reality show with Mars, I don't like that

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>crap either. I don't like commercials, but that's what pays

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the bills. That's what pays the bills. That's what lets

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 2>us have this podcast. You know, as long as you

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 2>like the nine minutes we're doing when we're on, then

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 2>we're doing our job. That's the whole point. But we

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>do love you for listening. Please don't give up. We're

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:49.959
<v Speaker 2>gonna make these episodes longer. I am growing in success

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>in stand up comedy, and Freddie Prince Junior works more

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>than anyone I've I thought he retired from acting, and

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>every time I turned something on, he's on a big

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>like a high budget movie than a Hallmark movie. Then

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 2>a commercial for Cascade. This guy warns, baby, none of

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>that's true. That is true, dude. He's murdering chicks and pools.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>He's dating girls and dance studios.

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>This guy works all right, rufos, you've taken enough abuse

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>from Jeff and you've gotten enough love for me. But

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 1>anytime you guys want to send a review hateful or not,

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't even hateful. I threw in the dick's part

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>to make it seem meaner that it was just that

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was just a criticism. I got got you, dude. I

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>can take criticism. Let's talk some Thursday shit. We could

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>talk wrestling news. I can give you guys an update.

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I will soon have no more updates to give. I

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>will have my definitive yes or no by the end

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>of this week or by the end of next week.

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll repeat that, or by the end of next week.

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>So give me two weeks. If I don't have an

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>answer for you on the next Thursday episode, the one

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>after that, you will, And then after that I'll start

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>giving you guys a backstory of how the process went,

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>where I thought it went well, where I thought it didn't,

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>what things I would change if and now. I put

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of thought into it so to be kind

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of like a not a documentary, but sort of like

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a podcast documentary of how the process went. But I'm close.

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm really frigging close. I've been talking with my booker,

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and we're so excited at some of the matches, including

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 1>our potential main event that we could do if we

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>get the yes soon enough. So I'm just really excited,

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>more excited than anybody outside of the people that are

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 1>involved with making this show. With me, I'll be relieved

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>for the journey to come to an end, hopefully with

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the successful conclusion. It's been a lot of stress, a

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of good stress and bad stress, but a lot

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>of stress. Let's stick with wrestling, and let's stick with

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>wrestling news because I don't have anything else to report,

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.799
<v Speaker 1>but the interweb did because Tony Kahan and Shane McMahon

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>were seen in a meeting together. I thought the photo

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>was fake. I thought it was just a fake, like

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a good job on like not CGI but whatever, like photos,

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 1>that's what it's called. But apparently it was real. Shane's

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>made a statement, and a statement goes as follows. I'll

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 1>do a Shane McMahon impression. Tony and I were connected

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>through a mutual friend and we had a great meeting.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>We talked about many things, but mostly about our shared

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 1>love for the business and the rewards and challenges of

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>working with family. I congratulated him on the five year

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>anniversary of AEW and look forward to how he evolves

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the business moving forward. That was said by Shane McMahon.

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Your thoughts, mister Jeff Di.

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I've got a lot of theories on this. I love

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Shane him and by the way, I'm good good, He's.

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>A cool dude.

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Man.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 1>He drives super fast. To help him bro, he put

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>me in his car. One time. We were driving back

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 1>from Stanford with me and the head writer for All

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>This dude, Brian Gowertz, and I was sitting shotgun. Brian

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>was in the back seat, and Shane had this like

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>fifty four Chevy with like a big block super modded

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>motor under the hood. And we were going down the

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>expressway like one hundred and twenty miles an hour. Oh my,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting there like yelling out the window like I'm

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty one years old, howling at the moon. And I

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 1>look back and Brian Gewurtz has his hands are white

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>knuckled on either side of the car, and he's like turned.

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 1>He's already like the whitest dude ever. He's like transparent.

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>You can see his heart beating in his chest and

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>he's like, sow down. Shade's just cackling like a madman.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh shit, maybe we should slow down

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. It was mad, fun dude. He's a

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>cool dude. Anyway. That's my Shane McMahon story.

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I've always was like when I was young, I was

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>never like a Shane McMahon guy. Like I was never

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.559
<v Speaker 2>like that's gonna be my favorite match, he's my favorite

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>wrestler or whatever.

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>But I've always you know, just the fact that he's.

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Vince McMahon's son, Like he's always been in the business,

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Like he's always been around. He's got the best entrance music.

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Really love Shane McMahon. One time I was going to

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 2>an XFL football game. You and your wife had a

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>suite for the game, Like you had like a little

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 2>bo what is it called the Sweet right, yeah? Yeah,

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>And so you were like, come on over to the suite.

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 2>So I was like so excited, and in your was

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Shane McMahon, and yes, I couldn't believe it was I

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 2>was already like new friends with you. So it's like,

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe I'm hanging out with Freddy Prince Junior.

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 2>This is pretty cool. And then like then Sarah Michelle Gellers,

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I was like, that's pretty that's a nice little bonus

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 2>to already get into hang out with Freddy Prince Junior.

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>And then Shane McMahon was in the box and I

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>was like, this is this is the life righter. But

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get any I didn't get to talk to him.

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.679
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get he was he was sure.

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>With the lawyer of the team. They were in full

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>on business mode. Yeah.

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I was like a little disappointed. I was like,

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>dangn man, I didn't get to like kick it or

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 2>like he didn't get to whatever was shanean man. But

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 2>then I later in life, you know, got to meet

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Shane McMahon at the Lakers game and now we've become

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>friendly and he and he's the best.

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you're gonna see him in ae W.

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that that's what that is.

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Tell me. I don't know.

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>If I had a guess, I would say that he might.

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 2>He just kind of seeing what his options are, you

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, like just kind of seeing where

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 2>he can land and like like what he wants to do.

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 2>That's what I think. If he wants to go to

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 2>a w you know, they'd have him. Tony Kahan will

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>buy him up like a like a wrestling toy, like

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 2>collect his little wrestling.

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't need the money. He doesn't need the money

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>him getting bought up like that.

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think he wants to be in WWE, but

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 2>there's just too much stuff still there as far as

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 2>baggage and all those things. Too many opinions floating around there.

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 2>That's that's this is. These are all just my guesses.

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I haven't asked him about it or anything like that.

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that he's just kind of seeing where he

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 2>can be what like what like what what are the

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>options out there for him? Does is this is WB

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna get all interested now that they know Tony Khan

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>and him met is Is Tony gon going to offer

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 2>him some crazy, you know, offer that he would that

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>he would entertain. I think he's just kind of seeing

0:08:44.559 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 2>where or if he wants to do this still. I

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 2>wonder when I worked there, Shane stepped away and I

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:11.839
<v Speaker 2>think didn't start maybe purchased a Chinese cable company or

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>something like that, like distribution, like television distribution. So I

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 2>wonder if they were talking about maybe it's more like

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 2>international distribution and things like that, and and his thoughts

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>on how they could sort of build their brand and

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>expand more more globally or something like that.

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 1>I wonder it's all speculating. He's also such like he's

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>got thought it was a fake photo.

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.199
<v Speaker 2>He's got so many things going on, you know, he's

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>like he's he's got like you know, all the things

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>with his kids, like he's very active and all of

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 2>his interests and things like that. So I imagine being

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.319
<v Speaker 2>away from wrestling for the small amount of time he's

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>been away has been nice for him, like you know,

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, I'm like enjoying life.

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting to like, you know, go do stuff. He

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>went to a Yankees game. You know. Funny he lived

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the life that his dad always wanted. Like Vince's dad

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>would never let him get in the ring. So when

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Shane asked, Vince was like, yeah, hell, yeah, go ahead.

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>And Shane had some of the most memorable matches of

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>his generation, like the ambulance match with Kelly and things

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 1>like that. I mean, he got to do some wild shit.

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>And I remember when he retired from wrestling so to speak,

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and said, thank you, it was a privilege you guys

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 1>letting me share the ring with you. Like he was

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>so respectful to all the men that he wrestled with.

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.960
<v Speaker 1>So I know he doesn't want to go back to wrestling.

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>He blew out both his friggin's the last time he

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>got in. But I wonder if there's not bad blood,

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 1>but if there's not room for him at WWE, and

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>he still has a passion for wrestling, like that's the

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>only other show in town. Last shit ain't off the

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>ground yet, you know what I mean, Like, Yeah, why

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't you go there and just see if there's something

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.680
<v Speaker 1>that they're lacking that's one of your strengths that you

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>could help, you know, bring to the table. I don't

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>know Shane is a booker or anything like that, because

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't working there in that capacity when I was there.

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>But there's got to be a lot of ways he

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>can help him.

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 2>And he's got so much value, Like I mean, the

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 2>fact that like he's been in every corner of the

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 2>business his entire life.

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>There's just like at some capacity for sure, I think.

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 2>So Yeah, I just can't imagine that he wouldn't be

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 2>valuable to anyone any kind.

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Of wrestling group, is what I would think. But also

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>who knows. He was always mad cool man. I remember

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 1>some of Shane helms. The Hurricane came up with this

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>idea to get Funaki back on TV, and he was

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be kung Fu Naki and he wrote the

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>song to Kung Fu Fighting. He was like everybody loves

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Kung Fu Naki and we got like our truth to

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>sing it, and he gave him the crane kick, the

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Daniel LaRusso Crane kicks his finisher and MVP took it

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 1>because MVP was a straight up g and generous like

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that and took a goofy finisher and took a loss

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to a goofy finisher. It takes a lot of heart

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to do that. So I remember they were pitching the

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>idea and I don't remember who it was, but Shane

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>was just walking by and he's like, what are you

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>guys working on? And someone just goes, oh, just bringing

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Funaki back on TV? What do you think about Kung Funaki?

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>And Shane just looks at him, shakes his head and goes,

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty fucking good. Just walked away and we were

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>all like, yeah, Kung Fuki. We ended up getting them

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>on TV. It worked for like a month. It was

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>like a little month four week storyline for him. Dude

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>as cool as hell. I love that.

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you think the guy who snapped the picture of

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Tony Khan talking to Shane is fired?

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I wonder I.

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Because do you see their face? They looked at them,

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.320
<v Speaker 2>looked at him like he just like like they weren't

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>happy about it, or like that they were just confused

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 2>why he was in the room, like they might even

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 2>not known he was taking a picture or her her

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 2>or him.

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 1>But maybe it still looks fake to me the photos.

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I know, it's not like they're like they both look

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 2>at it like you know when you walk in on

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a meeting or something, and they both like they're not offended,

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 2>but they're surprised, like, hey, we were talking, you know.

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it looked like that. No, I agree. I wonder.

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 1>I wonder or maybe they meant to do it and

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe that was the plan all along. Maybe they got

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.800
