The man that made the match!

15
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:34,100
I think he's good.

16
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:39,100
I think Levi just disappeared.

17
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,100
I just wanna...

18
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:43,100

00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:23,100

The man that made the match!

28
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:23,100
The man that made the match!

29
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:37,100
The man that made the match!

30
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:42,100
The man that made the match!

31
00:04:42,100 --> 00:05:04,220
whole issue are

32
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:09,120
I was around the time I'm supposed to have my first match

33
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,000
that is

34
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:41,000
N

35
00:05:41,000 --> 00:06:08,080
the

36
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:16,280
Tony Atlas that shows down Lewiston area and stuff with the club, Texas, things like that.

37
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:22,540
And those were some of my first matches until NWH came to, uh, to my hometown of old town

38
00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:24,780
and was going to run weekly shows.

39
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:31,700
Uh, it was an old, it's now a church now, ironically, but it was an old VFW, the VFW

40
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:37,380
hall and you could fit, if you squeezed them in there, you probably could fit like 150

41
00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:39,960
in there with the room.

42
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,920
We would change in this old storage closet.

43
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:48,600
Are we talking like, like Dexter, uh, launch the type of storage closet?

44
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,600
Oh my gosh.

45
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,600
Um, that was smaller.

46
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,280
It was smaller than this one.

47
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:58,840
This one actually had like, it was like where they stored all their like sound equipment

48
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,640
and signing an extra like cups and things they didn't use from the, there was a bar

49
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,640
in the front of the VFW hall and, and the back was the hall obviously.

50
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,920
And then there would be like the room where they keep all their extra crap and, uh, we

51
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,920
would change in there.

52
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,920
It'd be no heating in there.

53
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,920
It'd be cold.

54
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,400
Like in the winter time, we're still doing these weekly shows.

55
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,960
It'd be winter time doing these weekly shows.

56
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,560
It'd be so cold.

57
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,240
There's no heat freezing our nads off.

58
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,480
We're all in spandex just freezing our butts off wrestling weekly in front of like 50 to

59
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,480
60 people.

60
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,480
Some nights it got pretty big though.

61
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,040
I think we've got up to like one, one, one 20 in there was pretty big.

62
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:41,000
Uh, anyway, um, when they came to old town, I started training weekly and, uh, getting

63
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,080
while still wrestling every week.

64
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,960
Cause they were still short handed on wrestlers.

65
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,800
Um, and, uh, I would sometimes wrestle twice a night once under a mask and once as myself.

66
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,520
And I just put in reps and I just kept going there and did a lot of seminars over my time.

67
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,600
I got to keep going with her 20 plus years of stuff, but that's what I got back into

68
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,520
it full time and been on the road ever since doing it.

69
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,520
Wow.

70
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,280
I can't, I can't imagine doing a wrestling show every week.

71
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,800
Like I know beyond your skill.

72
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,800
Yeah.

73
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,800
Yeah.

74
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,400
That's how you get your, that's how I got my edge.

75
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:24,560
Like that's, I went from those few men, like when I started going, Ryan and my buddy Abe

76
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,240
to those Tony Atlas shows, there was a match here, match here.

77
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,280
Like my first, my first matches, I got the snot kicked out of me.

78
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,040
So I went in a minute 10 and got my ass beat.

79
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:41,160
So like, just how it works with your, when you're green or, um, and then when I was doing

80
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,760
those weekly shows, I was wrestling because no one ever won.

81
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,760
I want to wrestle them.

82
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,440
And I think they did it more so as a punishment.

83
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,960
I was really, I was rough.

84
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:49,960
I was a lot of reading.

85
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,160
We are getting beat up by bull moose, Calhoun every week.

86
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,200
Just because no one, no one's wrestling.

87
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,560
And being, being, I used to sell real like really good for them.

88
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,960
And I knew him from when I was younger anyway.

89
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,680
And so he didn't take it easy on me, but like he did more with me than most.

90
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:08,880
Um, but, uh, got my butt with for a couple of weeks.

91
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,880
So they probably did something with me.

92
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,480
I don't have a question right here for Tyler.

93
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,720
Uh, he says, oh wow.

94
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,200
So Eric, what, uh, what was it like back in those days on Tony's show, if you don't mind

95
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:25,840
giving you, uh, in the detail of how that changed over the, uh, year, over the years.

96
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,840
Depends on the timeframe of the Tony shows.

97
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,800
Cause I was there for the transitional time, but I mean, by transitional time, there was

98
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,400
a time where Tony Atlas's shows were on TV and sometimes there weren't.

99
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:45,480
Um, and then there was a time like where, or Tony was in charge, but he, he wasn't cause

100
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,340
he would pay with someone else would help with the shows, which I believe was Amanda

101
00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:52,320
storm and she used to be the ring and I provided the ring for the show.

102
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,320
So she was partly involved too.

103
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,080
So there was a time I was there on and off for the transition all the while.

104
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,160
So getting my ass beat, but, um, there was different, there was different times because

105
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,960
when it was just Tony, it's pretty laid back.

106
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,240
Um, there's no one really Tony tells you what he wants.

107
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,400
I remember the time when he asked me to wrestle and I wasn't supposed to, he's like, I'm

108
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,080
like, Hey kid, yeah, you got, you got, you got gear.

109
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,240
And I'm like, cause he didn't, I see him all the time.

110
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,880
We actually, we see Tony all the time now about Danny.

111
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:24,880
I was just a tag along.

112
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:25,880
Yeah.

113
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:26,880
You got me here.

114
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,880
Yeah.

115
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,880
All right.

116
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Well you're wrestling that guy.

117
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:30,880
Like that's really how much that's how quick it was.

118
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,880
Right.

119
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,240
You're wrestling that guy.

120
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,040
And then other times there would be, it'd be like WrestleMania in there and it'd be

121
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,040
like 30 dudes.

122
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,600
There'd be like no people.

123
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,600
Sometimes it'd be a ton.

124
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,600
It depends on the day.

125
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,880
It can be weird depending on the show, but in also during the transition when the TV

126
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:53,280
was going on, everybody in their uncle was there when the TV wasn't going on.

127
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,280
Yeah.

128
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,520
If it was a fundraiser, you know, it'd be cheap roster.

129
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,560
But if it was like a fair show, I remember going to his old, he went Tony Atlas or in

130
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,560
the farm into fair.

131
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:06,560
There'd be like a ton of rats, like 30 wrestlers on the show.

132
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:11,720
I'll be like, wow, these people come from what year did he stop running shows?

133
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:18,640
I kept running shows on and off because there was Atlas Championship wrestling and then

134
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,880
there was a Atlas, APW Atlas professional wrestling.

135
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,080
There was two different, the TV one was the not.

136
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,800
So that's why I explained to people, well, one was when he was on tape with us, he had

137
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,160
the TV show one wasn't, but he would run shows on it.

138
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,960
He was really, he would always do at least two or three shows a year, even when he was

139
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,680
on a slow end because he'd have all the, he had a couple of fares or grazers or something.

140
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:48,360
He had always do at least like one show a season, you know, so you'd have like four

141
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,120
shows a year, even on the slow end.

142
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,360
But toward the end there, like once he, once he, once he gave up the farming to fair, I

143
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,360
knew he was kind of done.

144
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,680
He didn't want to run around shows anymore, which I mean, I can tell him he's old and

145
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,880
that's, it's a lot of work to run shows.

146
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,480
It's everybody wants, everybody wants to be the booker first promoter second.

147
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,960
You gotta be the promoter first booker second.

148
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,760
I think that's the issue too with nowadays.

149
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,360
You see a lot of the promoters putting themselves on the show and not really focusing on the

150
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:24,800
show more of like what, how they can be involved in it instead of trying to make everything

151
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,800
go smoothly as it can be.

152
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,600
Well I host the ring wars stuff and you guys know, and I, the first show, I didn't even

153
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,840
really want to be honest.

154
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:40,400
I got a, I got a sponsorship that I wanted to use to put toward advertising for the show,

155
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,280
but the deal was, is I had a Russell.

156
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:49,200
So it was for Carolinas, the owner of Carolina's walked in and I was literally divvying up

157
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,800
tickets to, uh, to mail out to people.

158
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,160
And he's like, what are those?

159
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,880
And I said, uh, those are the wrestling tickets for ring wars.

160
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,880
It's like ring wars.

161
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:58,880
You're still wrestling.

162
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,240
I'm like, yeah, I'm not this show though.

163
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,600
I'm just, I'm just hosting the show.

164
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,280
I haven't run a show in like nine years or something.

165
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,440
I really wanted to, I want eight or nine years, something like that.

166
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,160
And I was like, I don't want to want to host a show, you know?

167
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,760
And then I just, I'm not even the owner.

168
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,600
It's I'm hosting a competition between, between promotions.

169
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,920
It's, uh, ring wars is not a promotion.

170
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,600
It's competition kind of like, and I guess easiest explanation, like mortal combat was

171
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,560
a tournament where it brought fighters together to battle, like in the video game aspect.

172
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,220
Well, this is the same thing for wrestling.

173
00:13:29,220 --> 00:13:30,800
So that's really what it is.

174
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,880
But anyway, back to the story that you wanted stories.

175
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,720
Uh, he saw me with the tickets.

176
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,960
I asked him if he want, he wanted some tickets, you know, that's I DJ at Carolina's all the

177
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:42,960
time.

178
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:43,960
I worked there for many a year.

179
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,960
I know the owner pretty well.

180
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,400
He's like, no, no, no.

181
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,240
I'm like, is there all you should come?

182
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,240
It's a good time.

183
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,240
Like, I'm not into that.

184
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,240
I'm not into that.

185
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,320
I'm like, well, he was like, you want to sponsor the show?

186
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,000
He's like, tell me more about that.

187
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
I'm like, what do you mean?

188
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Tell me more about the sponsorship.

189
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,520
And I was like, well, you can sponsor a wrestler.

190
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,360
You can sponsor a match.

191
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,640
You can sponsor, you can put, I can put a banner up for you.

192
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,640
I can, what do you, it depends on what you want to spend.

193
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,040
He's like, he said, you're not wrestling on the show.

194
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,280
I know that I'd like to sponsor you if you were wrestling.

195
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,560
So I'm like, so by wrestle, you'd sponsor me.

196
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:17,800
You guys.

197
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Yep.

198
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,440
I'm like, don't make that from the spot.

199
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:29,000
So I was like, well, shit, I got Russell now, I guess I'm like, this will pay for the posters.

200
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
It's okay for this.

201
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,000
It's okay for that.

202
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Yeah.

203
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,000
That's something that I have to wrestle now.

204
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,760
So this coming show on February 1st, I'm not wrestling.

205
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,760
I did that on purpose.

206
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,760
I don't bring wars.

207
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,520
It's competition between promotions.

208
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,760
And the irony is that work for all these promotions.

209
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,920
So why I can't just pick one.

210
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,240
That's not really fair.

211
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,800
So I don't really want to, I want to be the host.

212
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:53,360
I want to be like putting this thing together, making it happen so that their competition

213
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,800
between promotions happens and the talent can wrestle each other.

214
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,200
And I can just be there being the shame son of the situation.

215
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,040
It's really, really, what did I really want to do?

216
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,000
You know, make sure they run smoothly.

217
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,920
So this show up on I'm there.

218
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,720
This is a backup talent at that point.

219
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,280
You know, someone cancels it gets her.

220
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,040
I'll throw my head and my hat in there.

221
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,680
Just to be like, all right, I guess I'll put this bandana on.

222
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:19,680
Here we go.

223
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,960
I guess twist my arm.

224
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,960
Damn it.

225
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:23,960
Not.

226
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,760
I don't pay myself.

227
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:34,520
So we were talking about that about ring wars, but the first promotion that you own was IWE,

228
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,520
right?

229
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,760
I figured that would come up.

230
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,760
Yeah.

231
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,600
I ran and roamed and operated.

232
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:45,240
If you didn't know, I was operated by to be for nine years.

233
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,440
Literally one of the last shows I ran was an anniversary show and I wasn't even financially

234
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,440
involved.

235
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,240
I was just I was helping with the booking at that point.

236
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,680
The transition already happened.

237
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:01,320
But yeah, for many a year I owned and operated it until I sold it to John the bomb and Sonny

238
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Roselli.

239
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:08,440
So can you talk about like why like like what made you think like I'm going to, you know,

240
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,680
start my own company and have, you know, continue on what's going on?

241
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,680
Well, you don't know this, but originally it started out of necessity.

242
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:23,520
IWE started out of a necessity because at one point Sonny and Larry were like the only

243
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,520
game in town.

244
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,520
They were running together.

245
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,280
Now at the time that was NAWA, which is what Larry still runs now.

246
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,800
They were all the game in town.

247
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,480
And then back in that time, there was an athletic commission still.

248
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,020
So you had to pay your five hundred dollars a year promoters license.

249
00:16:42,020 --> 00:16:45,280
Every wrestler had to pay sixty dollars for a wrestling license.

250
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,480
Every referee had to pay twenty dollars for a referee license and every manager had to

251
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,240
pay ten dollars for a manager's license.

252
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,080
I'm so glad I started after that was gone.

253
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,120
It was such a headache.

254
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280
And then they would take ten percent of your gate.

255
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,240
That's so my gosh, dude.

256
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,680
So you know what New York is like?

257
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,880
Basically, it's like that, but probably more money.

258
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,960
It's a scheme.

259
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,360
But anyway, they would they'd come in.

260
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:15,240
You'd have to have someone that was first aid or NCPR trained on your staff or there

261
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,240
to help with the event to do your blood pressure and check all your stuff.

262
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:24,500
And it had to be documented and given to the state official when he came there.

263
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:26,920
And they were always very nice, especially Albion.

264
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,440
He was very nice guy.

265
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,200
Love them today.

266
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,200
That goes way back.

267
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,520
I'll tell you that story if you want later.

268
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,320
But let's keep with this current one.

269
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,080
I had to drink my coffee.

270
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,960
I had a coffee drinker.

271
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:47,360
So anyway, the big thing was that was part of the reason why a lot of wrestling has slowed

272
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:48,640
down at one point.

273
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:55,640
Another one is is it's not it's expensive to run shows and some shows to be a hit and

274
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,840
some would be a miss.

275
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,200
I remember a show.

276
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,360
I wrestled Larry in a tables match and Prescott, Maine at the forum.

277
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:05,360
Oh, God.

278
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:08,640
Hundreds of people there is packed.

279
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,800
I think Honky Tonk Man was on the show.

280
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,200
It was a really great show, even though there was a match that was even a lower card match

281
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,800
was like Prozac versus Tommy Lane, which is kid TNT back then.

282
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,360
And even that was a good match.

283
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:25,080
Like, you know, there was great even the work like the matches you were going to be great

284
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,080
were great.

285
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,960
It was good as a whole.

286
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,400
But then we did a show the next week and it was in like Milo, Maine and drew like 50 people

287
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,440
from hundreds to like 50.

288
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,200
And it was just disheartening.

289
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,400
And I could see that in with Sonny and he didn't end up wanting to run much after that.

290
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,480
And I used to be like the head of the ring crew at the time.

291
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,760
And I was like, well, what about Dino's?

292
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,120
Because back when I ran city side, which is what I to be was, it was called Dino's Pizza.

293
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,960
And that's where he used to do the TV tapings because we were on TV at one point with NWA

294
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,800
WH slash when it turned into NWA.

295
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,240
And he's like, I don't know.

296
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,760
He's like he was really I could see he was really frustrated and didn't really want to

297
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:07,760
run shows at the time.

298
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,960
And I offered I was like, well, Dino's is like 15, 20 minutes from my house.

299
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,240
My dude let me run a show there.

300
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,040
It's like you got a ring.

301
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600
Let me use the ring.

302
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,600
We'll split it right down the middle.

303
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,120
Like I'll do all the footwork.

304
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:23,120
You supplied a ring.

305
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,120
Blah, blah, blah.

306
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:26,720
He's like, I don't really want to run shows.

307
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,160
But well, you've got the licensing.

308
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,560
So it saved me having to pay for a promoter's license because he had one.

309
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,200
And so I worked it out with them.

310
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,800
We split it all down the middle.

311
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,840
Everything, even the profits that we made, which at the time wasn't much because there

312
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,080
were so athletic commission.

313
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,120
We sought to pay everybody.

314
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:46,120
Anyhow, first show kicked off.

315
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:47,120
I did all the footwork.

316
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:48,320
I was hawking tickets.

317
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,800
So was Johnny Primer and Scotty Vegas was Alexander Lee.

318
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,100
We were all hawking tickets.

319
00:19:54,100 --> 00:20:00,280
We packed a good 150 in there for the first show he did at Dino's.

320
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,840
And so he was having a big and shit, but he didn't.

321
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,840
He still didn't really want to run anymore.

322
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,700
So I offered at the end of the show, I said, look, I'll give you my half of the profits

323
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:12,080
and I can pay you out for the ring and buy the ring out from you.

324
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,340
He said, if you want to do that.

325
00:20:14,340 --> 00:20:16,080
So at the end of the night, he took his half.

326
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,800
I gave him what was half of my money.

327
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,800
Even I even my money.

328
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,160
I got back from all the money I spent.

329
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,280
I gave him that.

330
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,280
And every time I ran a show, it was every other month.

331
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,920
So I was running the show every time I ran the show at the end of the night, I give him

332
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:31,240
my part to put toward the rate costs one day and to the show.

333
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,640
OK, in the last bit of money, I'm like all paid off.

334
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,200
He goes, yeah.

335
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,480
Next show came and the night came.

336
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,840
He thought he was getting a piece of the pie.

337
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:42,920
I was like, I'm sorry, man.

338
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,920
I paid you off.

339
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,400
I do all the work for this show.

340
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,400
And at that time, you have to make a commission.

341
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,320
Ironically, at that same time, the athletic commission shut down.

342
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,800
I didn't need a promoter's license.

343
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,520
I also didn't need wrestling licenses anymore.

344
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,720
Yeah, it just happened to coincide at the right time when I paid off Sonny for the ring.

345
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,640
And I kept running Dino's because I had already had the Dino's had changed hands.

346
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,880
It was to new owner to are slowly turning it into city side.

347
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,920
They just kept the Dino's LLC because they bought the place.

348
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,440
And I already set up with the owners that, hey, if I decide to run here monthly, how

349
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,440
would you feel about that?

350
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,760
They loved it because I'm bringing over 100 people in every night, every once a month.

351
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,320
And they're making all the food and beverage money.

352
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,080
And they said, as long as they run once a month, they were cool with it.

353
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,240
So I'd already had a good rapport with them.

354
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,440
I officially own the rings.

355
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,360
I bought off Sonny.

356
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,920
I didn't need Sonny for his promoter's license anymore.

357
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,120
I mean, it sounds kind of bad, but I kind of just like, dude, I well, why would I give

358
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:42,120
you money?

359
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:43,520
Because I did all the work.

360
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,520
I did everything.

361
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,440
So why am I giving you a cut?

362
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,720
I own the ring now.

363
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:54,600
So early after that, Sonny stopped wrestling and I contribute that to my being my fault

364
00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:00,560
that he got back in later on because he started working with the civil these with NWM fire.

365
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,240
You know, things like that.

366
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,600
And I was still using everybody.

367
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,600
I was no hard feelings for me and Sonny.

368
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,400
He just saw like I paid him off.

369
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,480
I don't think you expect me to pay him off and finally buy out the ring.

370
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,000
But that was my goal was to buy it out.

371
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,520
And I had already had wheels in motion to start my own promotion.

372
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,320
We were running under the NAWA banner and I was slowly turning it into IWE because I

373
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,520
thought all about the time the new year comes and I haven't paid off.

374
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,240
I'm going to have to get my own promoter's license.

375
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,360
So it's like by the time the new year comes, I'll get my own new license and all that.

376
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:33,960
And then athletic commission collapsed and I didn't have to do that.

377
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,360
So that was the starting blocks for IWE.

378
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:40,520
It was it was it was messy, but I got it there.

379
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,360
You know, I had a direction I wanted to go.

380
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:48,560
And what was the timeline between you wanting to run the shows and you paying off Sonny

381
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,760
essentially like for the ring and everything?

382
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:56,320
Like how many shows do you think did you run between that start and then officially everything

383
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,960
just being like on your own?

384
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:04,080
Well here is the irony, because half like I remember about a half a year, maybe six

385
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,520
or about six to eight months went by.

386
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,300
I was still doing my the NAWA to IWE transition.

387
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:15,800
And I already had brought in my own belts and we're calling them IWE tag team titles

388
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:22,240
or IWE this IWE that and was easing out the NAWA titles because those were technically

389
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,960
belts that were owned by Larry.

390
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:29,640
Oh, never was big enough and bringing my own in slowly, but surely.

391
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,720
So this way I had say over what went on with them, because at one point I had to clear

392
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,800
everything with them because these are still their belts, their wrestling licenses.

393
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,320
Well, the wrestlers wrestling license, but their promoters license, you know, so I had

394
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:48,600
to still clear everything with them before I did anything.

395
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:56,960
But when I finally got it all like situated where I had my own belts, paid off Sonny,

396
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,360
I was doing all the work myself with added help from Alexander Lee and Johnny Primer

397
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:05,480
because they were helping do some of the footwork, like put up postures and help sell tickets

398
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:11,440
because we were like the three amigos, we all traveled together all the time.

399
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,680
We were moving in our own direction.

400
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:19,840
Sonny called us to land the misfit toys for many a year because we had such a ragtag group

401
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,120
of people and I was like, there was all people that wanted it.

402
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:27,920
There's a bunch of guys from all across New England and Canada that just were not getting

403
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,400
work that wanted to get work.

404
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,480
And I just wanted to have a place to run a show once a month so that we A, we can get

405
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,320
the work and B, keep this wrestling thing going.

406
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,280
Because at the time no one was running, A, no one wanted to pay the fees and B, there

407
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,200
was just, there was no one around.

408
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,200
I'll give it to them.

409
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,280
Sonny and Larry were the only people in town that wanted to do anything.

410
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,680
They were like Motel 6, they cut the light off.

411
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,360
And I mean, they kept it going for many a year until I decided to take the ball and

412
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:59,880
preferably run with it and not stop running for like nine years.

413
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:06,560
And you only had like a few people too that only ran like one set of Blue Moon shows at

414
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,560
the time too.

415
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:08,560
Yeah.

416
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,560
Yeah.

417
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,760
I think it was Christian Nickerson who run All Out Mayhem.

418
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,560
He ran like one or two shows a year.

419
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,560
Same thing with Tony.

420
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:18,560
He ran like one here, one there.

421
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:24,760
He was kind of on the back end of the shows.

422
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,040
And then Larry would still do an occasional show here or there for like fundraisers and

423
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,640
stuff that he had or fairs that he had.

424
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,080
And that was about it.

425
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,680
So from, it went from them leaving the light on to me, constantly leaving the light on

426
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:37,680
with IWE.

427
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:44,880
I remember we, I got Joe McBrady on board to help me get a website built and started

428
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,160
and a domain name bought.

429
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,320
He was part of the McNasty's, they were a tag team and he started helping me with that.

430
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:56,720
I got Marion Lawless on board doing our graphics work and things like that.

431
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,200
So we had that going.

432
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,240
Mr. Mike, who was no longer with us, was our video guy.

433
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,240
He would do all our video work.

434
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,720
God rest his soul.

435
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,560
He would do all the video work.

436
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:08,720
We had a group of people.

437
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,280
I got people lined up doing the right jobs, doing the right thing.

438
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,720
Demian Main also got rest his soul was my ring announcer for many a year.

439
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,720
We had our things rolling.

440
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:25,440
I ended up acquiring at one point the Fairfield building.

441
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,880
Because I was running D and I was in Fairfield, Larry and Sonny were still running there on

442
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:35,160
occasion and I remember they ended up, we had a weekend planned where I was going to

443
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,160
work together with them.

444
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,720
I think we're bringing in Spike Dudley back then.

445
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,400
I got Spike Dudley through Jay Gillette because they were good friends.

446
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,380
Mike would drive up.

447
00:26:45,380 --> 00:26:48,200
So I would use him every once a year for a weekend.

448
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,640
I was like, Hey, you guys want to use them on a Friday?

449
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,400
I'll use them on Saturday in Brewer.

450
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,720
You can use them in Friday and Fair and we worked it out.

451
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,880
And something happened where they wouldn't didn't want to run the show.

452
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,360
And I said, well, it's still a month before the show's gonna happen.

453
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:01,360
I'll do it.

454
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:02,920
Like, yeah, I'm like, yeah.

455
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,320
So I already had all my wheels in motion for my show.

456
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,760
So I would personally go down there and do the street work.

457
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,640
They already had a deposit paid for the building.

458
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,200
So I paid the building their money so that we can have the show happen.

459
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,480
We got everything going.

460
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,280
Show it really drew just as good as Brewer did.

461
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,640
We had about 150 in there for that.

462
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,480
So I was like, I can do this once a month in a weekend.

463
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,120
Friday in Fairfield, Saturday in Brewer.

464
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:32,160
And I did that same tandem roughly for nine years.

465
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:38,240
Yeah, those double shot weekends were, you know, the you didn't really get that anywhere

466
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,720
else in Northeast doing it back to back at all.

467
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,520
And you don't see it now.

468
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,400
You don't you don't see that even up here now anymore.

469
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:52,600
So it's like those are one of those like bittersweet moments that once, you know, we started wrestling.

470
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,400
It was like, cool, we get to wrestle not just once, but twice in a weekend.

471
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,400
Yeah.

472
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:04,160
And from there, I started picking up more venues and fairs over the years.

473
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,160
I picked up.

474
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,640
I remember at one point, we were wrestling four to six times a month sometimes.

475
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,080
And it was crazy.

476
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,760
It was wild.

477
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:18,040
I remember the first time I rebuilt the bridge with the Scali and Fair was not Larry has.

478
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,920
I remember they only wanted me for like a week's roughly a week for the dates, not the

479
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:21,920
whole thing.

480
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,680
And I plugged in shows and the dates they didn't have me so that we had like 14 day

481
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,600
stretch of just wrestling.

482
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,600
Wow.

483
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:30,600
That's a lot.

484
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:31,600
That is a lot.

485
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,600
It was a lot.

486
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,600
But I would hate myself.

487
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:40,520
They think you guys don't get it like we all love it back in the day.

488
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:47,320
And that much work because now people are like, oh, after one day, like I'm hurting.

489
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,680
I'm like, oh, take all this time off to the shows.

490
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,680
And then I'm two days.

491
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:52,680
I'm like, you know what?

492
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:53,680
It's too hot for this.

493
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,680
I'm good.

494
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,760
And now this next what?

495
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,760
Not this weekend.

496
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,480
Like we're in right now, but the next following two weekends, there's like four wrestling

497
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,480
shows.

498
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,480
Yeah.

499
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,720
And I'm just like, I look at my wrestling back to back like three, like two weekends.

500
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,080
Like, I don't know if I can handle all this.

501
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,800
I'm not going to all of them, but my own, the one I'm hosting and that might change

502
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:15,800
if someone cancels.

503
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,800
So we're going to be feeling it.

504
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,000
I mean, almost 40.

505
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,600
So I'm not even do any bumps.

506
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,960
And I was like, why do I fucking hurt?

507
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,960
Why do I hurt so bad?

508
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,960
Like, I didn't do shit.

509
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:29,960
Like I'm like, I feel old.

510
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:36,880
Well, they say every, every time we all take a hit or bump or whatever, it's almost like

511
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,520
we're putting our body through a car wreck with a 35 mile car wreck or something like

512
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,520
that.

513
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:42,520
Yeah.

514
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,520
I'm like, yeah, I feel now.

515
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,520
I see it.

516
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,520
See a chiropractor like twice a month.

517
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,080
Cause literally every time I probably should do that.

518
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,680
Because I'm on Mike, you know, almost four and a plan right now I'm 365 pounds.

519
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,960
But every time I bump, I literally can feel my ribs dislocate, which is very common.

520
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:57,960
Oh, no.

521
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:58,960
Yeah.

522
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,960
It doesn't hurt now.

523
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:01,960
First happened.

524
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:02,960
I was like, what the fuck?

525
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:03,960
Oh, no, Mike.

526
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:04,960
Oh, this is fine.

527
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,960
I'll see you on Monday.

528
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:07,960
She probably back.

529
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:08,960
And that's what she does.

530
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:09,960
No, I wasn't out.

531
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:10,960
No, no, no, no doubt.

532
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,960
I'm like, that's awesome.

533
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:12,960
Right back.

534
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,400
And I'm like, it is a little English lady named Cheryl.

535
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,680
She pops this pops him back in.

536
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:19,680
I'm like, how are you?

537
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,400
I'm like three of you put together.

538
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,400
How are you doing?

539
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,400
She doesn't pop some red back up.

540
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,400
I got the powers.

541
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,400
Oh shit.

542
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:33,760
Yeah, I mean, it was quite a time for about nine years before I sold her.

543
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,920
What would you say is your most successful show?

544
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,640
That's what I was going to ask your favorite and most successful show depends on what you

545
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,640
mean by successful.

546
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,760
You mean financially or do you mean emotionally or mentally?

547
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,680
Emotionally would be and I always say this and some people remember it.

548
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:59,000
Some people don't be the night that I had Robbie Ellis win the heavyweight title.

549
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,800
I saw video clips of that.

550
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,080
I never got fans crying.

551
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,080
He was crying.

552
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,240
It was an emotional moment like he Robbie and this was like the one in the last year

553
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,840
she was in wrestling because of it.

554
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,320
You know, physical stuff.

555
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,320
He's older.

556
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,000
No, he did on the fly.

557
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,400
I literally remember it took Mr. Candid Ricky Williams, Scotty Vegas was Alexander Lee and

558
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,480
the captain to the side.

559
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,840
I said, this is what I want to do.

560
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,560
I said, hey guys, I know you guys in the main event for the title.

561
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,520
I want Ricky Williams to go over.

562
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,520
But just so I want to happen.

563
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,520
I want Robbie Ellis.

564
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,880
So he wrestled earlier in the night again.

565
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,800
It was going to be Russell early night against Zach Mercury.

566
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:42,040
He was a big dude, huge guy.

567
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,040
And I'm peeler.

568
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,040
We're going to believe it.

569
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,800
But when he beat him, but he beat him and he got a huge reaction.

570
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:48,800
I'm like, this is what I want to do.

571
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,560
I want him to come out.

572
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,560
He's in his street clothes.

573
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:52,560
Is he already Russell?

574
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,920
He comes out to stand up for Scotty Vegas because you cheated with the hockey stick

575
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,920
stands up for him.

576
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,440
And you know, he, the captain says, if you guys want to throw down, just throw down right

577
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,440
here right now.

578
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,640
We should bring that bell and have a Robbie Ellis, kick him low, put them up in the slice

579
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:15,320
spread referee slides in one, two, three out of nowhere.

580
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,320
Huge pop.

581
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:23,480
I don't know if these two know if in case like you guys don't feel like cats like open

582
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,520
out his computer, like researching that Robbie.

583
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,520
Yeah.

584
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,480
I'm literally trying to find the matches.

585
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,320
We're talking about imagine the Rick flair of Maine.

586
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,920
That's all I have to say.

587
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,920
Yeah.

588
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:34,920
Literally it worked out.

589
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:41,160
Um, say like I called it, Ricky Williams, the hockey stick, the wind, uh, boos happens

590
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:47,760
all comes out all upset and, uh, Robbie Ellis slides in to check on Scotty Vegas, make sure

591
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:48,760
he's okay.

592
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:53,400
Well, Ricky Williams gets in Robbie Ellis's face and Robbie Ellis is like, Oh, they get

593
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,520
something like you remind your own business.

594
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,520
I'm trying to help him.

595
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,080
Blah, blah, you're trying to stay out of it.

596
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:03,200
And then he shows Robbie Ellis and captain's like, and then Robbie L shoves him back and

597
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,080
captain's like, Oh, if you guys are going to do this, you're going to happen here.

598
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,080
It happens.

599
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,560
Don't make it happen right now.

600
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:15,640
And as he says right now, Robbie Ellis kicks Ricky Williams right in the Dinkus, grabs

601
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,440
them and hits them with a slice spread.

602
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,960
Imagine someone like Rick flair's age.

603
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,080
Like Rick's doing a slice spread.

604
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,080
It's a slice spread.

605
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,080
Boom.

606
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:31,080
He's on top for the pin one, two, huge pop on three.

607
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,760
Uh, like that third hit the mat.

608
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:34,760
I went deaf.

609
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,360
They just, people got, people are standing, yelling like, yeah, they couldn't believe

610
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,360
it.

611
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:46,240
And, uh, we had the referee once the referee gave him the belt and he is standing, standing

612
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,880
there as everybody's giving the hot reaction.

613
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,680
We had the baby faces clear out the locker room and hoist them up and do the deal.

614
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:52,680
He was crying.

615
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:53,680
He was emotional.

616
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:54,680
Fans were chanting.

617
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,680
You deserve it.

618
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:56,680
It was a hot moment.

619
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:57,680
Real hot.

620
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,360
And I say, that was a really great moment.

621
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:06,920
Um, just because the emotional feel and how loud it was and your reaction.

622
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:12,680
And at the time, which was sad, it's cause he had just wrapped his, he had documentary

623
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,340
called the canvas man and they had just been, it just wrapped.

624
00:34:17,340 --> 00:34:19,640
They just done doing it.

625
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,360
And that would have been the cake topper.

626
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,360
He said he was just out back.

627
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:23,360
He said, he doesn't agree.

628
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,480
He hugged me and he thanked me so much.

629
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,080
And he felt like it was a payoff.

630
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,760
He never held a heavyweight title his entire career in the state of Maine.

631
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,600
He'd been around for years and he, uh, he thanked me a lot.

632
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,040
And he, I just remember him saying, like, I would wish I waited.

633
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,120
It's like, what for the, for the wrapping of the documentary and that should have been

634
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,120
the ending.

635
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,120
It should have been the ending.

636
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,120
Yeah.

637
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:50,560
The greatest moment for me financially, that wasn't a great, like that was just a normal

638
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:51,560
day.

639
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,680
Like we had probably about two or probably about 180.

640
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,440
And then there for that show is it was anniversary weekend.

641
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:58,840
So it's a packed house.

642
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,840
Right.

643
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,480
That's a fitting show for that.

644
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:02,480
Yeah.

645
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,480
And it was the anniversary.

646
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,480
It was an anniversary weekend.

647
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,480
So it felt right.

648
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,240
You know, um, I tried to do big things when it was our yearly anniversary, which I also

649
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:10,240
was in January.

650
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:13,360
It's like a time to write my careers on purpose.

651
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:21,920
If there's one thing you could change during your time running, what would you change?

652
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,960
I would have not done television.

653
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,320
Uh, are you talking about like arts, like my time when we did television?

654
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,800
I w there was two runs of IWTV.

655
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,840
One of them was for a long time.

656
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:40,600
It was like Saturdays at noon on Fox 22.

657
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,480
You know, like that was the, the, the, the, I would get wrestlers to do those.

658
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:49,800
Like I got once an honky tonk man and Savio Vega, Bushwagon, we go on Saturdays at noon

659
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,240
on Fox 22.

660
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:55,560
Like you could remember the slogan and we did it for years.

661
00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:04,040
And then, uh, the reason why I wish we'd never did TV was just the cost and the time.

662
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,040
Yeah.

663
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:09,000
Um, we have plenty of footage from all the shows around.

664
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,480
That wasn't the issue.

665
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,800
The editing was, was where it came down to.

666
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,480
I would literally sit at a computer for an entire day.

667
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:22,520
I'd get up and let them walk in the morning and be on my computer.

668
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:31,600
It's like eight o'clock at night, just doing edits, graphics and commentary.

669
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:36,000
So an entire day I'd be looking at a computer for doing an hour's worth of TV time.

670
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,920
And then I would have to pay for it when I dropped it off.

671
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,960
I'd have to pay for it when I drop it off.

672
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,520
And that was, that was the first thing I did that for.

673
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,160
Remember like years, like three years.

674
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,760
That just rained me, drained me.

675
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,560
Everybody was like, Oh, I can't be too bad.

676
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,800
It's pretty bad.

677
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,400
Like when you, like hours TV show, cause there's layers you have to do.

678
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,400
You have to edit the video first and you have to edit to a certain time to fit in the time

679
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:06,960
slot because what I, when you pay with the TV station, Jane P may know some of this stuff

680
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,800
because I worked there the second time.

681
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:12,800
Yeah.

682
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,440
So you, you have to have a certain amount of time to fit that time slot.

683
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,800
So they have to also add transitions on their ends, but that time slot is yours.

684
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,760
So you can sell your own advertisement time, which was cool.

685
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,160
And you have commercials in your insides.

686
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:31,600
So the sponsorship commercials from like local garages or restaurants, nothing, nothing

687
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,600
crazy.

688
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,520
Um, and, but it was a lot of that was a lot of that was advertisement time for the, for

689
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,640
those four to six shows I was going to run that month.

690
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:43,960
So I, uh, that was the one thing that killed me was just sitting there every week doing

691
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,480
that on top of still working a full time job.

692
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:52,680
Kids was married at one point, depending what time there was in part was married, part was

693
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:59,040
divorced, you know, um, and this a lot, it just drained me like having to sit

694
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,040
too, right?

695
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:06,320
Like they got, they got, there were some times that, uh, your show wouldn't even air too.

696
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,040
Yeah, what happened is cause it's on the weekend.

697
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,040
Yep.

698
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,840
What else is on the weekend?

699
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,840
Sports.

700
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,920
So they would bump me into the following week and some of it was time sensitive.

701
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,840
Like when I would say, Oh, tonight in Brewer main, cause we'd be at like we air at noon,

702
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,960
say Saturdays at noon and we had a show that night.

703
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,080
I would make it time sensitive.

704
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,560
So that would be a promo bank like someone like if you're cutting a promo on somebody

705
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,920
tonight in Brewer main, I'm going to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

706
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,520
Like whatever you're going to say, well, didn't air because there was a football game that

707
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,080
ran too long or, or tennis or something.

708
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,040
There was some stupid things.

709
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,320
What's the priority?

710
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,200
Even though we had been there for three years.

711
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,200
Yeah.

712
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,200
Anyway, we're going to air it on YouTube, which is great.

713
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,760
Cause our YouTube had quite a following at one point.

714
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,240
I don't know what happened to that now.

715
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:01,360
Cause when I sold the company, I turned everything over.

716
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,880
The only thing I didn't turn over was one of my email addresses.

717
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:10,280
Cause it had my personal, uh, like information on it, but I could not, yeah, like payments

718
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,280
and stuff.

719
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,280
I was like, I can't give you that.

720
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:20,280
And I can give you all this website, Facebook page, all the hard drives.

721
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:28,280
I'll tell you the YouTube channel fell way off the wagon after you sold it.

722
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,360
So it, but it recovered over time and then it, and then it dropped again.

723
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,760
There was a huge following on that thing.

724
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,760
Yeah.

725
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,280
Because we would air our episodes, right?

726
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:43,200
Like literally I would set it up so that I would have, I would upload it.

727
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,080
Let's say I've aired it Saturday at noon.

728
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,080
I would update it.

729
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,680
I would upload, you can upload it and just not make it public.

730
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:50,680
Right.

731
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,680
I'd upload it.

732
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,240
And then literally when I would get to city side, I'd get the city side early to do the

733
00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:58,200
website update while I'm sitting there having lunch.

734
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,600
And I would make the video public soon as I got there.

735
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,240
So they literally, Oh, Saturday at noon.

736
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:06,240
Yeah.

737
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:07,240
Guess what?

738
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:08,920
Sometimes it was up before the TV show was on.

739
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,600
So sometimes you got it lucky, but every Saturday it would be up there.

740
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,400
I could do it from my, I could do it from my laptop, my phone now.

741
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,360
But back then I had to do it from my laptop.

742
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,520
But yeah, it was a, it's still there.

743
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,760
And then if they didn't air it on the TV station, I'd make them hold it and there at the next

744
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:25,760
week.

745
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,160
So if some people, so people always saw the storyline progression, there was always storyline

746
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,160
going on.

747
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,160
And we did some really cool things.

748
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,360
Um, there's stories I didn't get to do, which I wish I did.

749
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:39,360
Like there was a thing where we had a Joseph primer was hobo Joe as his character.

750
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:44,140
And we're going to do a thing where he won by body slamming Brutus.

751
00:40:44,140 --> 00:40:48,440
He won the, the like $5,000 body slam challenge.

752
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:49,440
We're going to take him shopping.

753
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:55,800
We're going to take him to like, he's going to see it show him walking down the street

754
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,880
and he looks up and you hear this back of the, the band, you're going to go, Oh, you

755
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:00,880
turn it's like KFC.

756
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,560
We'll go further down the road.

757
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,120
He's just walking.

758
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,400
He's eating the bucket of chicken.

759
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,400
He drops the bucket.

760
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,880
Oh, it shows like pizza hut.

761
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:15,260
And then finally the big, big, he's eating a pizza, goes down the road.

762
00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:19,920
He flings a pizza and runs and he goes, Oh, I met the Holy grail.

763
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:20,920
And it's Walmart.

764
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:26,200
It's a stuff like that I wanted to produce that I've been funny and entertaining.

765
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,820
There's things we did that were some like we did the, uh, the spoof power rager videos

766
00:41:30,820 --> 00:41:41,360
that were hilarious and horribly horrible, but those videos were terrible, but I got

767
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,400
so much view counts and, uh, Marion Wallace is Lord lawless.

768
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,400
I'm going to dig in.

769
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,400
Just there would be common.

770
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,400
There was stuff for kids.

771
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:51,400
There was stuff for adults.

772
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:56,600
We did like the suffer adults, like Ricky Williams and cactus and a barbed wire rope

773
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,040
match where we took the ropes off and had the barbed wire.

774
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,040
That was gruesome.

775
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:06,200
And we really warned people for like, Oh, while we're putting up the, no one left, we

776
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,560
took the ropes down and we ran those barb.

777
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,200
We ran the barbed wire through.

778
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,160
We warned people for a good whole entire 25 minutes of them putting them barbed wire

779
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,160
out.

780
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,440
Like this is going to be violent and bloody.

781
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,080
If you do not want to say nobody left.

782
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,320
I think people came in from the bar next door.

783
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,320
Like we got to watch this.

784
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,320
I got it.

785
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:30,960
I got to throw this up real quick just because I had found it immediately.

786
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,960
This is so terrible.

787
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,120
And I probably then look thing.

788
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:35,880
Disney did not own power into this time.

789
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:36,880
This is so terrible.

790
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:37,880
Oh,

791
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,880
Hey, the kids love the dog.

792
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:50,000
Wait till we get to the, the best part.

793
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,920
This is all behind the behind city side.

794
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,640
All the backs of the random back dumpster.

795
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:07,040
This is the best part.

796
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,960
Oh, shit.

797
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:19,240
We had a new kid stuff too, man.

798
00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:20,520
We did a lot of adult shit.

799
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,520
I made sure we did kids.

800
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,120
Like we ran talk with the robot and so many times.

801
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,800
Oh yeah.

802
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:29,800
They love them.

803
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:34,800
This is so horrible.

804
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,800
It's easy.

805
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,120
Who was in the red power suit?

806
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,240
Who do you think it was?

807
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:45,160
I'll tell you after the video is over.

808
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,520
I can tell you who's in every one of those and you know all three of them and all of

809
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,960
them still currently involved in wrestling.

810
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,600
I'm in the red.

811
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:54,600
Yes.

812
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,000
I guess it was in the green.

813
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,240
I couldn't even tell the other two to be honest.

814
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:03,000
The green one was a name.

815
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,040
Oh no.

816
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,440
And the white one was Frankie flash.

817
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:09,440
Yeah.

818
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,440
I would have never guessed that.

819
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,080
It's like about three people that are still currently involved in wrestling some way,

820
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,680
shape or form.

821
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,960
We did cheating things like that just for kids, man.

822
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:19,960
It was great.

823
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,960
And I know the there's the adult audience are like, oh, this is terrible.

824
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:28,680
But then we do, like I said, we would do a barbed wire rope match and they'd be like,

825
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,040
you know, like it was crazy.

826
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,480
Then we did the steel cage shows, stuff like that.

827
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,280
Like we did stuff for both sides of the fence.

828
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:41,760
You know, I brought shockwave in one time and then I turn around and I don't know.

829
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:42,760
I'd bring a movie.

830
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,640
I'll be bringing over time.

831
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:58,440
It was what was the biggest name you brought under IWB in your time?

832
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,680
I don't know how would you vary a biggest name like most successful or most biggest

833
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:03,680
draw?

834
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:11,160
Like whether they were in WWE or was like the hottest thing at the time, depending on

835
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:16,480
the hottest thing I ever got was it was a before viral going viral and viral.

836
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,360
We had we had honky tonk man up a lot.

837
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:24,600
But I remember a local newspaper catching wind of me bringing up honky tonk man for

838
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,160
Sean Fairfield.

839
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:32,840
And literally, I want to say this is a small time newspaper.

840
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:41,000
Literally every newspaper in the state picked up this article and put it in their papers.

841
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,080
So like a full spread across the board, full buckshot.

842
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:52,120
So I went from one small town local newspaper to Fairfield and then went everywhere.

843
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:57,840
It was like the morning sent more something and it went everywhere.

844
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,640
And because of that, we had a packed house in Fairfield.

845
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,040
It was like 250 people in there from Tom.

846
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,040
Holy shit.

847
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,040
Yeah.

848
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,080
And this is back before viral went viral.

849
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,080
Like that was a thing.

850
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,840
Like I was just like, oh my God.

851
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,760
I remember because I think me and Sonny were putting this show on together and this was

852
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,960
a totally different time where Sonny came back and wanted to be a part I to be help

853
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:17,960
out.

854
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:23,160
And we were meeting Sonny, I think, tagged up to face honky.

855
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,320
I think Jay Gillette and that was the tag.

856
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:27,320
I can't remember.

857
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,680
But a minute, there was a good show, man.

858
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,640
It was all around the show and great response.

859
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:38,320
And we carried that over to run their monthly, literally for a few months.

860
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:43,000
We're having 200 plus crowds after that, because people put in the back.

861
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,000
That's awesome.

862
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Yeah.

863
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,360
Here's a name for you.

864
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:50,400
I'm sure you remember this one.

865
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:51,400
One more nation.

866
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:52,400
Yeah.

867
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:53,400
Oh my God.

868
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:54,960
I will give him credit, though.

869
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:59,280
He did draw me two hundred and thirty six people at Cityside.

870
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,040
Oh, OK.

871
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,480
But this is what he.

872
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,360
It's construed some information.

873
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:12,680
So when I first got contacted by him, I was informed like he was like a body double in

874
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,400
WCW for.

875
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,400
For the warrior.

876
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,320
And that's why he called it one more nation, because I was like the worst thing in WCW.

877
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,320
That's what I thought.

878
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,320
That's what I was told.

879
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,320
And I was like, OK.

880
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,440
I saw I saw pictures of him.

881
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,440
I didn't realize until I saw my personal shorty was.

882
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:32,440
I saw him.

883
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,320
He was like on the pictures with that.

884
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,320
He sent me.

885
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:36,320
He looked great.

886
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,120
I was like, I can see this.

887
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,800
And now that back then, there's no way to check that stuff.

888
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,620
No, not like now.

889
00:47:44,620 --> 00:47:45,920
So I was like, you know, I'll bring them in.

890
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,640
And he drew a huge crowd.

891
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,280
And I'll say this every time after that, he still drew me like 200 people.

892
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,280
And he kind of brought him in.

893
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:57,080
I had to stop using him because of an incident that happened.

894
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,880
And Kyle just pulled up the best video.

895
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:07,600
I don't know, you can't really put the audio on here because you have a copyright issue

896
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,520
because of the stuff, the warrior music.

897
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,720
But like, yeah, it's going right.

898
00:48:11,720 --> 00:48:14,840
Well, the first time he came in, I didn't have him wrestle.

899
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,760
Ricker, I think I had a first time to bring him in a Brighton, Russ and JJB.

900
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,880
And if you could find that video, I don't know if you can find it.

901
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,880
It's the reason his work name was the real JJB.

902
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,280
And he wrestled one warrior nation.

903
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:34,000
And if you could hear the reaction from those 236 people, it was deafening.

904
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,200
I remember I put God rest his soul.

905
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,120
Joey Glitz with one warrior nation to stay with him for when he went out to do mergers.

906
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:42,440
There's a line of people.

907
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,480
He was selling all this shit.

908
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:45,480
I know.

909
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,120
I remember Joey Glitz walking out back and I'm like, what are you doing?

910
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,840
He was just fumbling around in his pants.

911
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:56,840
He empties out his pockets and wads of money just fall on the floor.

912
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,600
I'm like, what the fuck?

913
00:48:58,600 --> 00:48:59,520
He's like, this ain't mine.

914
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,880
I wish it was like, who's that?

915
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,600
He's like, that's his money.

916
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,440
And then he comes in and in like this little thing, he had his pictures

917
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,360
and he just drops it and there's money falling out everywhere.

918
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:12,960
Is this the.

919
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,480
Way for his entrance.

920
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:18,600
You feel a little loud.

921
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:19,840
I remember.

922
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,440
Oh, thank you.

923
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:22,280
You guys.

924
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,160
Speak.

925
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,400
I'm easily scared.

926
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,360
Sound quality is terrible on my end.

927
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,880
Yeah, I can get turned down the volume like that's loud.

928
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,920
Turns out the volume of the ideas that.

929
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,960
He was so fired up, he was blown up after the entrance.

930
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,720
I imagine because it was short and just like

931
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:50,840
free from Mary.

932
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:51,560
It's hard.

933
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,560
Like this is like when he sent me pictures, he was having a bodybuilder.

934
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:55,640
I didn't.

935
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,760
I was like, you know, I believe that I didn't know

936
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,600
because back then you couldn't vet this stuff.

937
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,240
Now you can bet everything on the internet.

938
00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:03,320
They could look shit out in person.

939
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,240
You look at him and you're like, oh, yeah, he was mad.

940
00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:09,480
So yeah, he's mad short.

941
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,440
But he got a huge reaction and he can't.

942
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:12,840
He drew me a crowd every time.

943
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,040
And man shockwave, they were great.

944
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,800
Like I try to do things that back then I was being in an entertainment value.

945
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,800
So when they're bringing a lot of, you know, family stuff

946
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,400
because we were at a family fucking restaurant like

947
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,560
in, you know, like I didn't want to.

948
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,240
I was like, let's keep a family.

949
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:30,040
And then I was like, OK, let's start doing more adulty stuff like

950
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,240
fans were in the weapons matches and cage matches and barbed wire stuff.

951
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:37,280
Like there was times

952
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,680
I was infatuated, all depends.

953
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,720
I'll depend on what was going on.

954
00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:43,000
What was trending in the world?

955
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,800
I did. I was a bit about listening to the news and figuring out what was hot

956
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,160
and what was not.

957
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:54,160
So what would you say was your your best

958
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:00,600
creative storyline, whether it was you involved

959
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,600
or something that you made for somebody in IWE?

960
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:09,440
What would you say was like your best storytelling from start to finish?

961
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,680
The creation of

962
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:19,360
of not just Graves, but also the faces of Graves. Oh,

963
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:25,200
the whole deal, because it went from Graves started as just a mass character

964
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,120
because Primor is trying to reinvent himself again.

965
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,360
And one of his many gimmicks he likes to do.

966
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:31,360
The man of the thousand.

967
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:32,440
Lots of love and death.

968
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,440
But he had a lot of gimmicks and he knows

969
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,920
Johnny would hope in a brother.

970
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,400
Some I won't stay.

971
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,960
But anyway, we'll go to let's go to Graves.

972
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,760
Graves is the character from the man called Graves.

973
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:46,960
He just wanted to call Graves.

974
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,920
He wanted to have like the other

975
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,480
singlet with the skulls and the tombstones and the, you know, stuff on it.

976
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,680
He came out with a kind of stick, had the skull mask.

977
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,040
That's why I called him Graves.

978
00:51:56,040 --> 00:52:01,040
But I used to I used to love the old WCW song from that Sting used to come out

979
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,640
to called the man called Sting.

980
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,240
So I used to like that joke around.

981
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:08,200
I used to fuck with him going, man, call Graves.

982
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,480
You know, stop. You know, I'm not kidding.

983
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,080
I'm having the announcer.

984
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:13,240
Sounds like the man called Graves.

985
00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:15,560
He didn't believe me until I had him start doing it.

986
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,040
Well, eventually, Primer didn't want to do it.

987
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:20,800
They would do the gimmick anymore and take the mask off.

988
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,200
And I'm like, well, we should move the gimmick to somebody else.

989
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,440
I can do the gimmick. So that's already established.

990
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:27,440
He's like, what a good idea.

991
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,800
So I bought the stuff off of them and I had.

992
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,240
A guy who had been

993
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:35,200
who was back at the time was training at chaotic or New England

994
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,040
Pro Wrestling Academy.

995
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,600
And he'd been trying to even call.

996
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,880
He lived in Maine and he was trying to get on the shows

997
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,400
and come to shows about you just want to get some work in.

998
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,720
I said, hey, you want to do this character.

999
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,480
It's already established.

1000
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,880
You don't have to wrestle right off, but I'll put you in tags

1001
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,200
and get you more acquainted and get you going.

1002
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,200
Well, he started doing it.

1003
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,320
Well, then he started making the gimmick himself.

1004
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,240
And that's how

1005
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,120
Skylar Graves became a thing.

1006
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,840
Siler Graves, Siler Skylar, Siler, Siler, Graves, Siler.

1007
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,480
Yeah, I got it right here.

1008
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,920
I remember the first show ever saw it was like Fairfield

1009
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,760
and because he made it his own, because he made it his own.

1010
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,160
The fans started like getting behind him.

1011
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,920
It was very like

1012
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:26,000
Crow Sting, when it first came out, people started getting behind him.

1013
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,080
And I was like, all right, that's cool.

1014
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:33,760
This he would wear the black and white paint and he'd have that.

1015
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:35,480
He'd go through different hairstyles.

1016
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:36,320
Sometimes you had to braid it.

1017
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:37,160
Sometimes you didn't.

1018
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:38,560
He had the Kendo stick.

1019
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,600
He just had a cool following, cool entrance.

1020
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,920
We did the lights and smoke form at times.

1021
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:47,680
And he's had a hell of a following and he was he was catching some steam.

1022
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:48,440
So I was all right.

1023
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:49,720
Let me capitalize on that.

1024
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:53,520
Well, as Graves progressed, I was like he became

1025
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,560
eventually became a heel instead of a baby face.

1026
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,360
I'm do a turn on me.

1027
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:58,600
And I said,

1028
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,800
a young MSP who had been training

1029
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:04,440
were trying to get their

1030
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:08,760
foots in the doors and had bought these like outfits, these skeletal outfits.

1031
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:10,680
Now it's like, oh,

1032
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:15,560
I'm like, we got to come with that and we got to tie it in with with with Graves,

1033
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:19,800
because Graves is paint like face paint, match their whole entire outfits

1034
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,920
and they fit so well.

1035
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,280
And I was like, we got to do something with it.

1036
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:24,200
We got to do something with it.

1037
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,000
And they came up with the

1038
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,360
was it Scully and humorous were the names.

1039
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,880
You know, like we got we got to give you a better

1040
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,000
we got to give you a tag name.

1041
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,920
And I was like, we're going to call you the fog.

1042
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:34,960
Like, what's the fog?

1043
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,120
I'm like, well, you're going to be like this because whenever you

1044
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,200
the black and the black and white paint, because Graves used to wear

1045
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,400
sometimes a split paint once every black, once every white.

1046
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,480
And while your outfits are black and white,

1047
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,040
so it's like one sides, one personality, one side, the other ones

1048
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,400
will call you the faces of Graves.

1049
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,520
Get it to pieces of his face, faces of Graves, the fog.

1050
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:56,480
So it's abbreviation.

1051
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:57,640
And they're like, that's awesome.

1052
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,640
And I'm a scully one with humorous.

1053
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,080
And they would come out like little gargoyles and be as little minions,

1054
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,960
like the parts of his personality that had split off

1055
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,480
because he turned against the fans and me.

1056
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,880
And it just worked out great.

1057
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,920
So I could I could not just I can then wrestle the fog

1058
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,560
sometimes or then I could wrestle Graves along with other people.

1059
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,080
I would pull in to the to the story.

1060
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:24,680
We could do that, too.

1061
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,480
And it just it also allowed a young

1062
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,480
MSP to get tag work under a hood

1063
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,760
without people knowing it's them.

1064
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:33,880
And they were double.

1065
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,080
They would work. They would work to.

1066
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:37,680
Well, they were they hadn't yet.

1067
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,000
If you remember, they hadn't yet developed themselves.

1068
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,560
No, because they didn't know what they want to do with themselves.

1069
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,920
They were just over myself and many others

1070
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,040
had given them pieces to the puzzle.

1071
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,720
Like if you remember,

1072
00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:54,280
a daggora was a young Amon Jordan on Jordan.

1073
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:56,320
I came up with that name.

1074
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,000
I call him simply irresistible.

1075
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,520
Amon Jordan, well, then he take the and he tweaked it and made it his own.

1076
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,440
And he still used some pieces that now is a nagro.

1077
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,480
Yeah. Long live Levi Lexington.

1078
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,720
Most of that was Amber.

1079
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:13,080
Yeah. Well, so that was was her coming up with that.

1080
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:17,240
But I gave some pieces to the puzzle and she just ran with it

1081
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,160
and made it her own.

1082
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:23,360
I poses guilt and that end up later on becoming a piece of danger kid.

1083
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,840
So and the best part was

1084
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,280
one of the last acts I had

1085
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,960
before I sold the company

1086
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:37,840
was I had guaranteed them that they could be mask as the.

1087
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:41,240
The fog and I was in the room.

1088
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:45,360
I'm not afraid because that was the end of the story of this long

1089
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,840
agated when it started from graves.

1090
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,960
The graves in the fog.

1091
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,440
Eventually, the fog turning on graves because we also bring gang

1092
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:55,840
growling to that as a whole.

1093
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,280
Not to the story I did not put in there, but I'll put it in a minute.

1094
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:00,920
And then eventually them taking the mask off

1095
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,960
because they eventually won the tag belts to as the fog.

1096
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,040
I even put my ex, Sarah DiErica, with them and she

1097
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:08,720
inherited their gimmick.

1098
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:10,120
Remember that? Yep.

1099
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,880
We started eating her face up and doing the thing like she was

1100
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,120
like controlling them.

1101
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:16,760
You know, it's cool. A little character.

1102
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,720
Anyway, people attached to them.

1103
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,840
And I feel like that was helped to build the building blocks.

1104
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,080
MSP, they really took MSP and made it themselves.

1105
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:27,280
But I feel like this helped them build what their tag chemistry

1106
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:31,160
and built them up without people knowing until they finally took the stuff off.

1107
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,440
Once they took the stuff off, it was like, oh,

1108
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,600
make it a hell of a reaction when they took those masks off

1109
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,560
and finally came to the one thing I was in the ring.

1110
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:44,640
We had lost the tag titles to the months, I believe.

1111
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,080
Same time they attacked us.

1112
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,520
And that was like they pulled out the tote.

1113
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,880
They opened it up and they had all the gear inside of it.

1114
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,800
They put it all on and everything.

1115
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:00,840
And I think just look brilliant because you watch them like transfer before.

1116
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,320
Exactly. And over on the other side of the fence, they'd already started

1117
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:10,600
developing them individual selves over for Randy when Limitless was in Orono.

1118
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:15,800
Yeah, this is where they had already had already established themselves individually.

1119
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,640
Yeah. Then for them to because they weren't doing

1120
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,040
doing Ida B stuff as much.

1121
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,000
They were still doing the fog here and fog there.

1122
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,280
And eventually this kind of like bring both pieces together.

1123
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,040
And everybody was like, oh,

1124
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,840
like it was an inspiring moment.

1125
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,080
I was like, that was the end, the full end of the story.

1126
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,560
The part before I was talking about with the gang, we had a part where

1127
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,000
Graves turned on the fog like he was done with them.

1128
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,840
They were useless to him and they were trying to throw him away like scraps.

1129
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,120
And we brought I brought Gangrel up for a show.

1130
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,200
Well, the spot was and I remember

1131
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:55,360
because Ben, who used to work at the TV station, I think with you, Nick,

1132
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:59,560
who was training, he was running hand cam for this.

1133
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,240
And I remember his face.

1134
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,960
We remember we were setting it up and Graves had done all these promos

1135
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,080
and Gangrel's come in. Alba was there.

1136
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:12,400
He did an interview early in the day with Gangrel, which aired on the TV station.

1137
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:14,840
And I'm like, oh, this is perfect.

1138
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,400
And we get to it and Graves comes out.

1139
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,640
Does his entrance lights go out, hear the brood music?

1140
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,960
Well, the great the faces of the graves crawl out first.

1141
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,160
And they sit there like little gargoyles and Gangrel comes out.

1142
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:33,120
And in between them, he does the blood spot.

1143
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,800
It is right in front of everybody.

1144
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:37,800
Perfect shot on the camera.

1145
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,560
The leg is covered in the blood.

1146
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:40,560
He got covered.

1147
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,440
I just remember him looking over at me because I was running out of the time.

1148
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:44,880
I think I hurt my foot or something.

1149
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:46,480
He looks over at me and he goes.

1150
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:47,680
I mean, he goes.

1151
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,560
He's covered in but like fake blood is like

1152
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:57,520
going back to what he's doing.

1153
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:58,360
Covered in blood.

1154
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,600
He didn't take the blood off his face till we were done.

1155
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,600
Oh, awesome. Like he was like, that was so cool.

1156
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,760
Like he would just and I just remember,

1157
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,160
you know, Agro and Amber going

1158
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,200
and getting like posters and having them sign them

1159
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,160
because they can just remember that moment because obviously, like,

1160
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:18,720
it's a really cool moment.

1161
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:19,800
We aired it on TV.

1162
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,720
Awesome. It was a cool moment.

1163
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:25,000
And Gangrel the graves then that story.

1164
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,560
But there was such a long story over time that started from essentially a character.

1165
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,720
No one wanted to do anymore.

1166
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:34,040
So much more.

1167
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,040
And the story of the thing about it carried on with MSP as they went on

1168
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:40,760
because they took all that to the end of their story and then started a new story.

1169
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:42,400
Yeah, that's awesome.

1170
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,120
That was the coolest thing about the whole deal.

1171
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,600
Something that started from a character no one wanted to do anymore.

1172
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,600
But that's awesome.

1173
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,000
That's awesome.

1174
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,880
I'm sorry that took so long, but that's not it.

1175
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,840
I was working.

1176
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,160
I never knew that.

1177
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,680
The only thing that came close.

1178
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,880
And I think you remember this the most.

1179
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,640
It was the storyline I did with my ex, Sarah.

1180
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:10,080
Yes, because I remember we're all we're all involved in it in a way.

1181
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,000
Just because like there was so many parts of it moved around.

1182
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,040
And we made reality part of it.

1183
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,760
Yeah, well, I had had my heart problems.

1184
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:25,320
And the story was because me and Sarah used to tag as the Capone.

1185
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,720
She was Callie. I was Jimmy. I gave her my name.

1186
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,320
We were tagging. We were together forever.

1187
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,080
And I stopped wrestling.

1188
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,600
I had my problems for real, for real.

1189
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,280
So I do have a heart condition. So I stopped wrestling. And.

1190
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:45,640
The. We some some we were starting this thing where she wanted to.

1191
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:46,800
She hadn't worked.

1192
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,200
Heal yet. Had never been a bad guy before.

1193
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:53,560
And while I do this angle, I showed her this angle, like where she

1194
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,080
she becomes mad and angry at me and turns on me.

1195
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,040
How do we do that? Well, I almost die from my heart condition.

1196
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,200
So I've been I was in the hospital two or three times during that time.

1197
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,920
Some of the, you know, my heart issues.

1198
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,720
I signed over my wrestling, my rights to my wrestling stuff to her.

1199
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,320
But there's something happened this way. She had it.

1200
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,080
Well, in the fine print, it took.

1201
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,600
I wasn't signing it over in the event that something happened.

1202
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,520
I signed it over completely.

1203
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,240
And I didn't know it.

1204
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:25,080
So she took my name.

1205
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,240
So I couldn't be Jive and Jimmy anymore, which I'd been through.

1206
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:34,280
Not just for years, not just for years, but also on two different TV shows.

1207
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:38,000
Because I was literally I would be on me on Saturdays and noon at Fox 22.

1208
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,320
The hour after was to be in the bay on fire.

1209
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,400
I literally at one point was on both TV shows back.

1210
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,640
And I was there TV jam at one point on on fire.

1211
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:52,320
So like like this whole character I built up for years.

1212
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,360
She's taken and I couldn't I had to be myself.

1213
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,600
I had to be a plain old Larry Johnson.

1214
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,440
And that's I was like, that's the story that started from that.

1215
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,080
She took my livelihood, she took my rights.

1216
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,200
And then she next thing she was going to take was the company.

1217
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:07,120
And that was the big story.

1218
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:08,720
She was going to try to take it from me.

1219
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:14,400
So I had a few with her and the and we tie in a Nader's here

1220
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,000
because she owned the rights to my name.

1221
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,240
Yeah, I see you laughing.

1222
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:19,400
You already know what's about to happen.

1223
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:25,080
You know, he made you know, you know, Aidan Andrews, he's like tiny, tiny guy.

1224
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:25,760
Right.

1225
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:29,080
Well, yeah, he came out in my gear

1226
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:33,640
is Javan Jim Andrews, like purple singlet gear

1227
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,960
to my dancing to my music.

1228
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,320
Pimp Kane and Anna

1229
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,560
saying, well, the whole people were so pissed.

1230
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,080
Like, like this is and he was he was winning matches

1231
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:49,600
because she would help him win matches.

1232
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,880
I mean, too, wasn't that was Javan Jimi Andrews.

1233
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,320
Yeah. And then she changed her name.

1234
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:57,560
She wasn't Callie Capone anymore.

1235
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,280
She changed it to Sarah DiErico. Yeah. And

1236
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:03,000
it was a big deal.

1237
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,760
Like I'm trying to get my like she would throw people at me.

1238
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,000
I got to fight the leatherheads.

1239
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,600
I had to go through eventually came down to a handicap match.

1240
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,320
And it was like if I lost, she'd own the company.

1241
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,400
But if I won, she had a 40 for her women's title

1242
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:18,560
and give me back the rights to my name.

1243
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,920
Yeah. And I remember

1244
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,520
mostly me and Aidan Andrews going out and she would come in

1245
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,680
and do things to me here, they're cheating.

1246
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,800
And eventually the end of it came to you.

1247
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,760
Remember the ending, don't you, JP, because you used to take that spot.

1248
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:38,800
So funny enough, the good old P.O.G.

1249
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,640
to the head that one of the most deadliest moves in the crossfire

1250
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:48,040
wrestling, you know, that that's a good way to end a storyline for sure.

1251
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:52,080
And funny, you bring you mentioned that, too, because while you were,

1252
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,520
you know, in the middle of that feud, that's

1253
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,800
so technically how I got my

1254
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,680
camera was definitely this promo.

1255
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:06,400
So from now on, watch where you're going.

1256
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:11,080
Look at that. Oh, little, little JP.

1257
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:12,600
There's a few thousand.

1258
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,080
You look fun there.

1259
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,840
You know what you want to do?

1260
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,360
You know, I was cracking so hard.

1261
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,480
You step over it for a second.

1262
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:23,200
I'm yelling at him.

1263
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,920
I'm yelling at him because he would constantly run a hand cam for me.

1264
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,160
I know. I ran hand cam once.

1265
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,040
I ran hand cam once.

1266
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:37,840
It was the steel cage shows that I ran hand cam and I almost got

1267
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,600
this with Paul Dowling

1268
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:45,760
that Paul didn't know who I was like a year later after it started.

1269
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,520
He forgot who I was.

1270
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:51,520
But like, yeah, never brought that up ever again after that point.

1271
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,880
Yeah. The irony with the promo.

1272
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:57,520
But anyway, this is the best part of the promos coming here in America.

1273
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:59,600
Yes. When you run the camera.

1274
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,080
Oh, sir. Do I do I look like I'm 50?

1275
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:04,640
I'm 40 now.

1276
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,760
That's right. You're getting the P.O.G.

1277
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:09,640
the head. You know what that is?

1278
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:10,880
You know what the P.O.G. is?

1279
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:12,680
Star of God!

1280
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,400
The fact is you're pausing now.

1281
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,160
The fact that you your feet were up in the air is what popped me.

1282
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:23,800
It was behind that camera, by the way, Randy Carver was my anaconda.

1283
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:28,360
I didn't plan on taking and falling backwards at all.

1284
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,240
We just sat down. He's like, you're just going to sit in this promo.

1285
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:32,280
I'm like, OK.

1286
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,280
And then we do in the bit.

1287
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,920
And as soon as he hit me, I just full instinct

1288
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,840
just threw myself back and you see the shitty grin on my face.

1289
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:41,720
I was a poly backwards.

1290
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,120
That's funny.

1291
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,440
Oh, just doing a little bit of housework, housekeeping here.

1292
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,560
Tony Clown call and says, Ni hao everybody.

1293
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,680
What a name. I didn't even see that.

1294
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:57,760
And I saw this.

1295
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:00,000
I didn't want to interrupt when you're talking that amazing story.

1296
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:05,000
But so we got somebody says, when you when in IWE working with Captain

1297
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,560
Ressus, so was it your favorite match or favorite person you got to be

1298
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,800
in the ring with and compete against?

1299
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,280
Captain, I got the idea of Ressus, so I'll listen to that.

1300
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,760
But I'm actually one of the coolest people.

1301
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,040
And we try to run it back and then get the happens.

1302
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:22,360
I end up hurting my foot.

1303
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,840
I think I forgot how I hurt my foot.

1304
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:28,760
But anyway, back to the point of hand, me at one point,

1305
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:33,480
I was working avidly trying to get keep in the Chikara

1306
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,840
when they came to Maine and New England, I'd be on a lot of other shows.

1307
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,240
And then eventually they did a thing called Wrestling is,

1308
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,280
which they smaller promotions, kind of like sister promotions.

1309
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:48,120
They were trying to keep people working that didn't get a lot of the work.

1310
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,920
And they'd have a couple of guys in the show that were coming out of the factory

1311
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,360
of wrestling talent and then guys that were established.

1312
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:57,680
Well, one of the guys that I really like to work with with Jocka.

1313
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,760
And we had a really good match a long time ago.

1314
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,840
And we try to run it back.

1315
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:08,640
We had a really like, mind you, this match happened and we went like

1316
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:10,920
15, 20 minutes, I think.

1317
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:11,560
I can't remember.

1318
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,760
But it was in front of like 30 people in New Hampshire.

1319
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:16,240
It was not a good turnout.

1320
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,000
But the match was solid and it was great.

1321
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,080
And I had great reaction just for those 30 people.

1322
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,600
And we wanted to run it back.

1323
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,520
We didn't get to I brought him up and randomly,

1324
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,320
Joey Janela was his right along buddy.

1325
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,640
They came up to work a show and literally like

1326
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:39,040
the week before I busted my ankle or my foot or something.

1327
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:40,800
And I was in a boot.

1328
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:41,800
Oh, yeah.

1329
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:42,600
But Russell.

1330
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,920
So I end up having to like, if you still want to come up, man.

1331
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,240
Oh, yeah, we were going to take the week and awful come up.

1332
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:49,480
They came up and I think.

1333
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:51,360
Yeah, I like it.

1334
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:53,760
The most random opponents.

1335
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,240
Jocka worked, I think.

1336
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,800
McKenna, maybe the first night

1337
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:04,920
and the night he worked graves, which wasn't bad.

1338
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,960
But it was not what he was over like we were.

1339
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,960
He came up to work me like it was we were playing on run that shit back

1340
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,960
for an IW show because we knew it was going to be a good match.

1341
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,040
And we wanted to have put in front of some fans and it just don't work out.

1342
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:20,920
Sad, sad, sad.

1343
01:09:22,440 --> 01:09:26,320
As for like, if you went personally, like an IW match,

1344
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:28,720
that was a favorite thing for me.

1345
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:32,160
That's hard because I've had so many matches and I to be over the years.

1346
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,360
Real, it's a the match that got me to go to Puerto Rico.

1347
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:44,640
I'll say that was me and in Sabio Vega

1348
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,200
versus Mark moment and Sonny Roselli.

1349
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,240
Sonny and Larry, I think they were the first two.

1350
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:53,240
They were the first two.

1351
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:54,240
They were the first two.

1352
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:55,240
They were the first two.

1353
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:56,240
They were the first two.

1354
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:57,240
They were the first two.

1355
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,240
They were the first two.

1356
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,240
Sonny and Larry had already worked for Sabio.

1357
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,240
That's how they got the contact and brought him up to me.

1358
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:07,240
And he was doing an IW weekend.

1359
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:12,240
And Sabio got to see me work and he saw my charisma and liked what he saw.

1360
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,240
And he's like, that's what got me to go down to Puerto Rico.

1361
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:20,240
And I remember, I think with Michael Abbey came up to me and gave me

1362
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,240
compliments on the match was very old school.

1363
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:26,240
And it was it was something that hadn't been brought back in a minute.

1364
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,240
It was a match that shocked a lot of people.

1365
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,240
They didn't expect that.

1366
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:32,240
And it was good.

1367
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:33,240
It's really good.

1368
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:34,240
And I was very proud of that match.

1369
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,240
So I was happy.

1370
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,240
It got me to Puerto Rico.

1371
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:44,240
And I went back, I think a couple of times to I talked to Sabio a couple of times after that.

1372
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:45,240
I went back.

1373
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,240
It's just it's not cost effective.

1374
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:49,240
Not when especially now.

1375
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:50,240
Nowadays, I don't know.

1376
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:54,240
I had a different time, but that was way.

1377
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,240
100 percent that.

1378
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,240
Pull money out of your pocket for that one.

1379
01:10:58,240 --> 01:10:59,240
Oh, yeah.

1380
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:02,240
Well, also, it was a different time.

1381
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:06,240
Now, I wasn't what it used to be at the time.

1382
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:10,240
Also, wrestling in Puerto Rico wasn't what it used to be at the time.

1383
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,240
Like you hear horror stories from way back in the day.

1384
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,240
And it's hit some ups and downs.

1385
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:19,240
I've seen I've been on shows down there that were fantastic.

1386
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:23,240
And then there shows that were that were not so good to draw.

1387
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,240
But they were I think they're on Telemundo.

1388
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,240
So I got to be a part of their one of the TV tapings, which is cool.

1389
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:30,240
That's cool.

1390
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,240
Yeah, it's out there.

1391
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:35,240
I think Randy found a little bit of footage.

1392
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:36,240
They had chopped up a match.

1393
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,240
It was an Emmy versus the Zion.

1394
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:43,240
See, that's fast.

1395
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:44,240
Short muscular dude.

1396
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,240
Let's straight up like a bodybuilder.

1397
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:50,240
But he did like a vampire gimmick or paint and see how that will.

1398
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:54,240
And he spoke English very brokenly.

1399
01:11:54,240 --> 01:12:02,240
And we came up with a match and I guess like they want us to go a certain amount of time, which is great.

1400
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:04,240
We went out there and we did our time.

1401
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:09,240
But it was a match for him to make him look good.

1402
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:12,240
And he's let me give him shit.

1403
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:13,240
He's given me shit.

1404
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,240
And he gave me too much.

1405
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,240
He let me do too much.

1406
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:22,240
And he's like, look at his side like he's trying to defend me because look at my size.

1407
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:23,240
They gave me too much.

1408
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:28,240
So what they did was on the TV show, they chopped the shit out of that video.

1409
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,240
It's all highlights of him.

1410
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:32,240
All this shit.

1411
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:36,240
Now, all this is I got to get figured out.

1412
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:38,240
All the cool shit got taken out.

1413
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,240
All the care of the medic said I was driving Jimmy down there.

1414
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,240
So I'm doing the dance and people are loving me.

1415
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,240
I'm coming out and doing the dance and people are loving it.

1416
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:46,240
They cut that out.

1417
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:47,240
They cut everything out.

1418
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:48,240
They don't know what to do.

1419
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,240
They don't know what to do.

1420
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:50,240
So they cut out the whole thing.

1421
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:51,240
They cut out the whole thing.

1422
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:52,240
I was like there's something that's going on out there.

1423
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:53,240
I was like, yeah,

1424
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:56,240
that's the way I was getting my ass beat for like 60 seconds on the highway.

1425
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:57,240
Yeah.

1426
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:58,240
Randy found it online.

1427
01:12:58,240 --> 01:12:59,240
I'm like, oh,

1428
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,240
none of my shit's in there.

1429
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:03,240
That's me.

1430
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,240
That match was like 15 minutes or so.

1431
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:06,240
And there's like a sixties,

1432
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,240
I got the honey beat my ass.

1433
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:09,240
All right.

1434
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:10,240
I'll go.

1435
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:11,240
Fuck myself.

1436
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:12,240
But I guess.

1437
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,240
When I get it.

1438
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:15,240
Now I'm the outside talent.

1439
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:16,240
You know.

1440
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:28,540
time

1441
01:13:28,540 --> 01:13:41,040
to

1442
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,040
big

1443
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:48,120
There's nice down here

1444
01:13:50,480 --> 01:13:53,560
And I'm a big guy and I'm like, oh you so big and

1445
01:13:54,360 --> 01:14:00,480
I had a competitive match with him and Sabio loved it and I played the crowd up. It was a shorter crowd

1446
01:14:00,480 --> 01:14:03,040
There wasn't a bigger crowd. He loved it that sounds like

1447
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:07,880
So he loves the match night before and it was competitive match up against a big ass dude

1448
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:13,920
I left with a short body belt a dude and he chopped the shit out of a match only 60 seconds to be getting my ass beat

1449
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,320
Now I

1450
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:26,360
Probably know this question, but we like to ask what is the worst bump you ever taken and what is the worst bump?

1451
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,960
You ever seen and I think I know the worst bump you ever taken

1452
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:36,320
What's the bomb you think that is the chair shot the chair the chair spot

1453
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,320
We split your head open

1454
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,560
Yeah

1455
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:43,040
Owens that

1456
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:48,940
Where I split my head open where I got power driven this time this time and it didn't help that the chair was old

1457
01:14:48,940 --> 01:14:51,440
a lot of chairs I had at at at

1458
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:57,600
city side back in the day were ones I'd accumulated over the years from like buyouts from places that were closing or

1459
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,020
donated because city side only had like

1460
01:15:01,020 --> 01:15:06,020
80 chairs or something at one point and they didn't buy more and better ones over time

1461
01:15:06,020 --> 01:15:12,020
But I wouldn't just accumulating chairs like equipment rental places. I'm like, hey, you got a chair to try to get rid of

1462
01:15:12,020 --> 01:15:14,020
They're like old not good anymore. Okay, cool

1463
01:15:14,020 --> 01:15:18,020
And I buy them I go through them and put the ones aside that were busted that like okay guys

1464
01:15:18,020 --> 01:15:23,420
You could get someone with this but don't sit in it. Fuck so but this chair was old

1465
01:15:24,020 --> 01:15:30,020
And me and camera Matthews used to used to tear it up back in the day and we used to do it

1466
01:15:30,020 --> 01:15:33,580
And we had a couple good matches with two good good matches

1467
01:15:33,580 --> 01:15:37,100
It's supposed to be like the tiebreaker and this is like over a couple years span

1468
01:15:38,420 --> 01:15:42,540
And we were doing the three stages of hell match and I remember in the last stage

1469
01:15:43,660 --> 01:15:45,660
This was supposed to happen

1470
01:15:45,780 --> 01:15:48,860
I'm supposed to take the pile driver on this chair

1471
01:15:49,860 --> 01:15:54,140
And this is like a desperation pile driver. We're both lay there and

1472
01:15:55,100 --> 01:15:57,100
as we both pull ourselves up, I

1473
01:15:57,100 --> 01:16:01,460
Just barely pulled myself like the Rocky Balboa Apollo Creed finished

1474
01:16:02,900 --> 01:16:04,700
Well

1475
01:16:04,700 --> 01:16:07,380
that didn't happen because he went to pow-driving and

1476
01:16:08,900 --> 01:16:14,620
Started I don't know was a miss time or maybe I was too sweaty to wrestling for three stages of hell

1477
01:16:14,620 --> 01:16:20,260
We're wrestling and I'm sweaty as hell. We just gone through parts in this last part went up as my feet went up

1478
01:16:20,420 --> 01:16:22,420
He was already going down

1479
01:16:22,420 --> 01:16:28,580
And when he went down where he landed on the chair, there's video. Oh, no

1480
01:16:29,420 --> 01:16:31,340
Watch you'll see my full I'm gonna start it

1481
01:16:31,340 --> 01:16:35,460
I'll put it to play by play here as you go through it here slowly watch the miss time

1482
01:16:35,460 --> 01:16:38,260
There's supposed to be the tease. Yeah, and he's was a fall over

1483
01:16:38,580 --> 01:16:43,900
he and as we go up and so he didn't let for me to go all the way up and

1484
01:16:43,900 --> 01:16:52,020
He already started going down. Well, what you don't see is when the legs of the chair was sticking up

1485
01:16:53,660 --> 01:16:55,660
Or a bracelet was sticking up

1486
01:16:56,740 --> 01:16:59,300
How does me it hit now you can play it full speed you'll see me

1487
01:16:59,300 --> 01:17:02,900
You know see me roll right over boom it gouged me in the head

1488
01:17:03,940 --> 01:17:08,900
It's what it did. So that's why I'm laying there and I'm looking at telling Chris Barry like I

1489
01:17:09,620 --> 01:17:12,180
Think I'm busted cuz I thought I thought was hot

1490
01:17:12,180 --> 01:17:14,180
Stuff coming from my head

1491
01:17:14,180 --> 01:17:16,740
So my instant I was just keep my hands there and apply pressure

1492
01:17:17,100 --> 01:17:23,180
So if you look my hands stay there and I have to this is me telling telling Cameron Matthews do not roll over

1493
01:17:23,180 --> 01:17:26,180
He goes why is that? I'm like you're going to roll in my blood

1494
01:17:26,740 --> 01:17:28,740
Because I think I'm busted open

1495
01:17:29,340 --> 01:17:33,540
Over any seat. He's like, let me see so I move my hands. You see I move my hands

1496
01:17:33,540 --> 01:17:36,020
He's let me see and he goes. Oh, yeah. Nope

1497
01:17:36,580 --> 01:17:38,980
Over I'm looking at Barry. I'm like Barry

1498
01:17:38,980 --> 01:17:42,060
Better start counting he ran out of the ring

1499
01:17:42,700 --> 01:17:47,620
To tell somebody but then he comes back in and he starts counting. You'll see Barry come back in and he'll start counting

1500
01:17:48,220 --> 01:17:50,220
Oh

1501
01:17:52,220 --> 01:17:54,100
Medical help like that. Oh maybe it already happened

1502
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:57,540
That was I think the holy roller

1503
01:17:58,540 --> 01:18:04,900
Watching the match from the curtain. He was the first one and he grabbed a towel and just applied pressure to my head

1504
01:18:04,900 --> 01:18:07,380
I can't lost about

1505
01:18:08,380 --> 01:18:12,380
The they said I lost about a half a gallon of blood out of my head

1506
01:18:12,380 --> 01:18:16,820
I was gonna say this this the immediate how much how much blood you see immediately

1507
01:18:17,340 --> 01:18:24,180
You see a pool of blood in the ring. Yeah, and they were just grabbing towels and napkins anything they could find

1508
01:18:25,180 --> 01:18:28,860
I was with Sarah at the time and I remember once they got me out of there

1509
01:18:29,820 --> 01:18:32,660
There was like a pool of blood and I was like, oh my god

1510
01:18:32,660 --> 01:18:34,980
I was like, oh my god, I'm like, oh my god. Oh my god

1511
01:18:35,980 --> 01:18:40,140
There was like a pool of blood in the ring and this isn't this is a vinyl canvas

1512
01:18:40,140 --> 01:18:42,940
So it like it doesn't absorb anything. It's easy clean

1513
01:18:43,180 --> 01:18:46,660
We did that on purpose because we used the ring so often the canvas so often

1514
01:18:46,660 --> 01:18:49,500
They would we'd might pop it off or what spray it down and wipe it off

1515
01:18:50,020 --> 01:18:54,340
Things like that. So it'd be nice and easy to clean. Well, pull the blood up in one spot

1516
01:18:56,180 --> 01:18:59,640
So she had a click she had to clean it up was don't want to clean it up hair bus afraid to

1517
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:01,640
Clean it all up. Oh, yes, uh

1518
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:05,400
14 stitches

1519
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:10,680
14 stitches my god in my head. Yeah, I think I never saw this

1520
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,240
I've heard of the story. Just never seen. Yeah, I've never seen either

1521
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,320
It was to a point where

1522
01:19:18,480 --> 01:19:20,480
So many people from the show

1523
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:24,240
Called the hospital because the hospital right around the corner, right?

1524
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:30,400
And they had to call the restaurant to tell people that to tell them to tell people to stop calling

1525
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:36,800
Because like everybody in the audience was calling the hospital. This is a 24 minute video and that

1526
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,600
they waited for the the ambulance to come and

1527
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:44,760
They wheeled me out and everybody stayed outside. They give me a round of applause. Holy

1528
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:53,320
The whole crowd stayed man. It was a wild time the whole crowd stayed to cheer me on because I fucking I'd be

1529
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,720
Looking very very did the 10-pound you missed that part the berry doesn't take down

1530
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,000
any time

1531
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:18,000
I mean me and me and Cameron Matthews never finished this like this

1532
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:26,000
I don't know. This is a timeout time limit draw. I just said count. I told him to count it so he was in the mouth like both

1533
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,000
Yeah

1534
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,840
I don't know. Maybe that was I sounded like primer doing on the fly the time of the draw to and then I

1535
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,000
It was it was it was a lot of blood

1536
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:41,520
Yeah, 14 so here's cool. Here's the irony of that after I got taken to the hospital

1537
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,520
Because I'm still in gear and everything and I left everything there

1538
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:49,000
And

1539
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:54,640
Everybody help pack like everybody was really good about our way how pack up and take everything what funny thing is

1540
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:58,200
Cameron Matthews shows up to the hospital partially in gear

1541
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:04,800
That makes her I'm okay. I'm like, yeah, I'm fine. He's getting pictures of it my head

1542
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:07,800
things like that

1543
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:15,000
There's a damn indentation of a head because it cut through my skin and a muscle tissue and dug into my skull

1544
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,000
Oh my god, well, I got gouged in the head

1545
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:21,640
Because they said it looks like I got

1546
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:23,640
Something jab me in the head

1547
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:26,640
You got Abby

1548
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:29,640
Except it was with an actual metal

1549
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,640
There

1550
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:38,640
So so from worse from worse

1551
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:44,640
Like that's not even the worst in dish in your injury you can probably find

1552
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,640
The worst injury I would have to say that sucked just because I was in the hospital

1553
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:54,640
I would have to say that sucked just because of the aftermath you probably find the video. It's me

1554
01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:59,640
Against Tim Lennox

1555
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:06,640
I think it's me versus Tim Lennox in Canada or I break my ankle. I literally land on my own leg

1556
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:14,640
The canvas is in Rumbles Jason Rumbles bring in Canada for a VCW show

1557
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:20,640
I think it was me versus Tim Lennox and Tim like Tim Lennox took takes the world wake, which is that swinging sidewalk slam?

1558
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,640
I do

1559
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:35,160
He took it fine the problem I think that's what it was I can't remember I think that's what it was

1560
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,200
But I went to do it and the canvas wasn't tight

1561
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:44,360
And it's one of those old like canvas canvases that if you don't hold tight, it starts to bunch up

1562
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,200
If my boot gets stuck I

1563
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,080
Go down

1564
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:53,000
Like goes underneath me and doesn't look you can't kick out because caught in the fucking canvas

1565
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:58,200
And I bucked my leg finish the matter all over get the pen. I tell him not to kick out

1566
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,640
Okay, you found it. I was looking for this is it

1567
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:06,000
The same might be my big sound of I wrestle one or two times. They'll be toward the end

1568
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Look for the finish. That's how you know

1569
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,000
Because I can't get up at one point

1570
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,000
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be right near the ending where I can't get up

1571
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Like I literally tell Tim to stay down and I pin him and he rolls out

1572
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:37,000
All right, it doesn't look like you're even getting up at this point. Yeah, it's toward the end. I finished the match

1573
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,000
Watch my leg

1574
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Oh

1575
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,000
Oh my gosh

1576
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,000
Oh my gosh

1577
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:55,000
I'm telling them don't I sound you guys like you roll out of the ring. I can't I'm like I'm hurt

1578
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Back it up

1579
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,600
I'll tell you why this would probably be the worst and I will be why after

1580
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:11,600
Oh my god, everyone watching right now is like what the hell dude

1581
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:16,600
See I'll see the bunch up on the canvas. You see the bunch up on this

1582
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:19,600
We'll talk about my book is caught in the canvas

1583
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:25,600
Canvas is so far you can see it bending while I'm stepping on it and it gets caught

1584
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:28,600
This is why we tighten the canvas

1585
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:33,600
Yeah, that's why when we yell at people to tighten shit you gotta tighten it guys

1586
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:35,600
Larry gives a shit all the time when we don't

1587
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:44,600
The tip of my book got caught so I'll tell you why this was the worst

1588
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:47,600
So I'm in Canada

1589
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:49,600
Dartmouth Nova Scotia

1590
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:51,600
My medical insurance is not taken in Canada

1591
01:24:53,600 --> 01:25:01,600
So I go to the hospital and they have to take care of me because it's their legally obligated to

1592
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,600
And be stuck up there for God knows how long

1593
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:10,600
I know I know something bad. Right? I know something bad because I couldn't put weight on it

1594
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,600
You don't see the ending of that, but eventually they get some

1595
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:22,600
The ref comes back and helps me out back and I hobble one lately all the way to the back and everybody like what happened

1596
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:27,600
I know something was bad because you know, I have that ball on your ankle. Yeah

1597
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,600
I took my boot off and it was gone

1598
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:33,600
Oh my god

1599
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:41,600
So I had broken my ankle on both sides. I didn't know it but on both sides that broken it from the boat

1600
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,600
Good

1601
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:47,600
But my foot the wrong way I can't go that way

1602
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:53,600
So didn't know it that part yet, but so my options were this

1603
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:58,600
It was late at night and all the boys are tired. So they weren't gonna drive through the night like well

1604
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:04,600
I either tough it out overnight and we drive back and they dropped me straight off at the hospital. We get back to the States

1605
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:10,600
Or I go the hospital there. They have to treat me get a giant medical bill and

1606
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:13,600
Not be able to pay it and be stuck in Canada until my

1607
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:17,600
Because you remember I can't walk at this point. I'm like hobbling dragging my leg

1608
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:23,600
Like how are you gonna get home so easily? Yeah, I'm like home. I can't do anything. I'm on my mobile. I'm in mobile. I can't do anything

1609
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:26,600
so I

1610
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:32,600
Decide we go back the promoter's house. We stay the night. I put my leg up and do what I can

1611
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:38,600
They helped me in the car by the by morning. My ankle is the size of a melon. I

1612
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,600
Couldn't put my shoe on

1613
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:46,600
Couldn't do anything. So I just put a sock on the best I could and was walking around with one sock one shoe

1614
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:54,600
I wasn't walking. I was dragging it because I could I couldn't bend my ankle. So I knew I was bad and they booked it back

1615
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:57,600
We got through the border. No problem. Thankfully didn't pull us in

1616
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:00,600
got through the border

1617
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:05,600
They didn't bring me home. They brought me to the hospital in Bangor the one right by right around the corner from city side the Eastern Main

1618
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:11,600
Northern light now was Eastern Main that they bring me straight there mind you I got my merch. I got my

1619
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:18,600
I got my gear bag. I got my actual clothing bag. I got all my stuff there. Drop me off and they're helping me inside

1620
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,600
They went so I get inside all situated then they like they left I

1621
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,600
Went in they gave me extra eggs

1622
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:27,600
The waiting was the shitty part

1623
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:30,600
It's gonna be a little bit of a mess

1624
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:37,800
Me extra eggs the waiting was the shitty part. Let's do another x-rays done. I was maybe in the room five minutes

1625
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:39,800
Dr. Walks in like mr. Johnson

1626
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:47,520
He done once you walk in here did you walk in here like once they're more walking more like dragged or hobbled

1627
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:50,080
But yeah, I got in here

1628
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:54,280
Let's x-ray up on the screen thing and it shows me where it's broken on both sides

1629
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:59,280
Like a little a doing and keeping my foot together was a spelling and the muscle

1630
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:04,280
Breakable part so there's nothing right above my ankle not on my little puppet. So I'm like, okay

1631
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:10,280
Well then

1632
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:15,280
What do we got to do? Well, we gotta get you in for surgery. We're gonna do that first thing in the morning

1633
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,280
We're gonna put two metal plates in

1634
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:24,280
And titanium screws across so there'll be a plate on each side and the titanium screws going across this way

1635
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:26,280
To hold it all in place

1636
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:29,280
Well, I was beginning in the morning

1637
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:34,280
Well, there was an emergency accident in the morning and I had a full might pull my surgeon

1638
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:39,280
So it wouldn't be that nighttime. So like it's like 730 at night

1639
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:42,280
They finally do my surgery. Here's the irony

1640
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:45,280
All that time. I'm in the hospital

1641
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:49,280
This girl I was talking to we were supposed to go out that night of my surgery

1642
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:56,280
And I didn't talk to her because all my stuff was in five different places because

1643
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,280
The hospital but I can't get it

1644
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:02,280
How am I gonna get it?

1645
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:08,280
So I finally get a hold of my phone and charge it and message your gar and she didn't believe me

1646
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,280
She shows the hospital and she's my foot all up

1647
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:12,280
All this stuff and she still didn't believe it

1648
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:14,280
Still didn't believe it

1649
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:18,280
Wow then explains it all to her still didn't believe it

1650
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:24,280
Okay, baby, the surgeon is in and explains he can't go anywhere

1651
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:27,280
You're not he's not going out tonight. He's not going any way. He can't walk

1652
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,280
He can't use that leg

1653
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:35,280
And she could not believe it tweaked out and left never heard and seen from her ever since

1654
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:39,280
What the fuck

1655
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:41,280
What the fuck

1656
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:46,280
Because I couldn't take her out that night. It was so weird. It sounds like a modern-era thing right now

1657
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:50,280
I feel like you don't know I just dodged a couple bullets, but uh

1658
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,280
So yeah, seven thirty that night. I got into the surgery

1659
01:29:57,280 --> 01:29:59,280
I

1660
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:02,280
Will say this it's easier to recover from a bone break than a muscle tear

1661
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:08,280
Well, because that that like you just have to let it heal at that point

1662
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:16,280
muscle still work when I tore my quad when y'all did that fundraiser and I tore my quad off my knee completely off my kneecap I

1663
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:18,280
Had to reteach my leg how to walk

1664
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:24,280
What show was that no that was uh that happened that uh

1665
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:29,280
We did the bro the guy took a bro fundraiser and he said I'm gonna do a

1666
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:34,280
We did the bro the guy took a bro fundraiser for when I blew my quad out. Yeah

1667
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,280
Well

1668
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:45,280
That's the one everybody thinks are blue my quad wrestling I know I fell down the stairwell

1669
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:51,280
all 13 12 13 steps and ripped my quad completely off my knee and

1670
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:56,280
Had a kind of surgery repaired and that's the worst. That's the worst like people want to joke about

1671
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:59,280
He'll blow it out their quads like to wage and Kevin Ashley. That's just no joke

1672
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:02,280
Yeah, but you have to repeat yourself out a walk

1673
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:05,280
I got my quiet was not it was rolled up to my top

1674
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:10,280
Like I had a unroll it reattach it and I had a reach my leg the wall

1675
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:14,280
Yeah

1676
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:19,280
No one understands that like you have to reteach yourself and they explain how they reattach it

1677
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:21,280
They take these they take your muscle

1678
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:24,280
They pull holes in your knee and they pull the muscles through

1679
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:30,280
Reattach it's it's a sprucing experience and it was the most like fuck Mike. It sucked

1680
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:37,280
It's terrible to be your leg made magic being magic thing. I'm being a grown adult enough to teach your limb how to work again

1681
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,280
It's like you're a baby teaching them how to do things

1682
01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:44,280
I'll pass

1683
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,280
You know

1684
01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:50,280
That's just terrible like

1685
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:53,280
that's all

1686
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:56,280
That's it 68 months I wouldn't walk I didn't six

1687
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:00,280
John Cena

1688
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:04,280
When I broke my tailbone and I w it was like

1689
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:09,280
It was almost five months almost six months before before I do anything again

1690
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:15,280
You can't you can't put a cast on that you can't you can't like you know heal your tailbone

1691
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:20,280
Kind of stuck with it. Yeah, could you imagine just wearing a fucking ass cast for?

1692
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:27,280
Every time you farted every time he farted the pain was then

1693
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:36,280
What's wrong but I can imagine that's what it felt like every time you farted or took a shit you probably like

1694
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,280
Screaming in the bathroom

1695
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:41,280
Yeah in a public bathroom too

1696
01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:44,280
That's really bad

1697
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:49,280
It'll be all right, man, whatever you ate tell me what it is so I don't need it

1698
01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:53,280
Yeah, I'll still take that over

1699
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:56,280
One terrible I'll take

1700
01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:00,280
Yeah, anal ripping pain over a quad

1701
01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:07,280
So we we had you for we've had you for almost two hours now and we much appreciate it. So let's uh, let's well, let's

1702
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:10,280
Anything recent it's all like the old stuff

1703
01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:20,280
We'll have you back on again, but uh, most definitely but let's get into like try to get into recent stuff right here

1704
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:24,280
I think what's going on is like

1705
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:29,280
Yes, ring wars is what we want to talk to so you're running the promotion ring wars

1706
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:32,280
I know February 1st is the second ring wars

1707
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:38,280
You want to go over that a little bit for everybody? Yeah. Well, well first what anybody that doesn't know what ring wars is

1708
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,280
It's not like I said, it's not a promotion. It's a competition

1709
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:48,280
And in wrestling like anybody that like to those that are smarter to wrestling or have been around it long enough understand that

1710
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,280
There's different companies different organizations different brands schools

1711
01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:54,280
dojos things like that and

1712
01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:59,280
My ideology was to bring all these groups together to compete against one another

1713
01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:04,280
But it had to be somebody that was an ultra like a like a neutral party and I thought well

1714
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:08,280
I'm probably the only one that can be a neutral party because I work for all these different places

1715
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:12,280
So I pitched the idea to all the different promoters

1716
01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:21,280
Everybody loved the idea and I always like okay. Well, let's do this and they're like, but how do we I'm gonna give you a little

1717
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:24,280
secretive detail in

1718
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:28,280
Wrestling obviously most people know we're gonna we're not hiding anything anymore

1719
01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,280
That some of the stuff is predetermined. It's you know, it is

1720
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:36,280
That's bad up guys, come on stop

1721
01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:42,280
Try not treat that treat people like they're stupid. Here's the things that fans hate. They don't you want to treat him a respect and should stop

1722
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:44,280
Treating like they're stupid. They already know like don't do is okay to his face, but grown adults now

1723
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,280
Yeah

1724
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:50,280
Let's look the veil here

1725
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:54,280
And so the biggest problem that I had with most of the promoters were like, well, they don't want their people losing which is a big problem

1726
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:56,280
I mean, I think it's a big problem

1727
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:58,280
I think it's a big problem

1728
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:00,280
I think it's a big problem

1729
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:06,280
And so the biggest problem that I had with most of the promoters were like, well, they don't want their people losing which I understand

1730
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:08,280
I said well, what if we do something that is

1731
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:12,280
Out of people's control

1732
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:18,280
Like what do you mean? Like well, I'll stand there and I record the videos of me little flipping a coin

1733
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:21,280
Every match is one by a flip of a coin

1734
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:24,280
On this end

1735
01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:30,280
So if anybody goes, how do you pick the winds? How does that fair to everybody like it's by fate?

1736
01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:40,280
Of a coin that's how it works this way no one gets disrespected if they want to watch the video I show them the video if they want but

1737
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:42,280
It's all done by

1738
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:47,280
Yeah, I love it run by say exactly and also all the promoters say you know what?

1739
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:53,280
They all shook my hands. It sounds fair and they trust me and I do it and if they want to see the video they can watch it

1740
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:55,280
It's all done by fate

1741
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:57,280
So you tell me how to think of the

1742
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,280
You won't go to the day of and neither will the family

1743
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:10,280
You know what your focus needs to be as I tell every promote every person in their match like you're there representing your promotions

1744
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:16,280
That ring was your representing groups the group that sent you and nominated you some of them are sponsoring you

1745
01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:21,280
Some of them are just nominating him that group that you're going in there to represent you should be worried about not embarrassing them

1746
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:26,280
Exactly, so if you're embarrassing them, how does your promoter that's sitting there watching you perform?

1747
01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:29,280
Gonna feel exactly

1748
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:32,280
That's what I tell you. You're not just there for yourself

1749
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:36,280
You're there for your promotion and you're there in front of not one

1750
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:39,280
Not two not three

1751
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:43,280
But four promotions and the host

1752
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:46,280
So if you suck

1753
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:51,280
You may lose your bookings not just from the promotion that nominated you but from the guy that's going to tell you hey

1754
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:57,280
Not trying to pull any punches, but your match was the drizzling ships. You're probably not gonna get any more work here. Like it's not

1755
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:00,280
No wonder I'm not

1756
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:06,280
It's a test

1757
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:12,280
It's about the match and entertain the fans because the fans, you know that that last one was for their hungry fans

1758
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,280
It's it's a smaller more intimate venue

1759
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:18,280
But it's an event hall where the bar is in the event room is a bar and kitchen in the bedroom

1760
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:21,280
So you can get all your shit right? You don't have to leave the room unless you're going to the bathroom

1761
01:37:22,280 --> 01:37:24,280
So everything

1762
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:27,280
And the show itself

1763
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:34,280
On the reason they think that's clever I'll get to that in a minute but

1764
01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:41,280
It's a very intimate show. It's a very intimate show and it's a limited seating events

1765
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:46,280
That's a lot of things people don't understand too. They're like why is there only a limited amount of seats? It's a small venue

1766
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:49,280
It's an intimate show

1767
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:51,280
It's early on

1768
01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:56,280
And literally there's only like a hundred there's only that venue doesn't even have 100 seats

1769
01:37:56,280 --> 01:38:02,280
They have 85 and I read some from Randy who provides the ring from limitless is the school spring

1770
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:07,280
He brings it with the ring and I get another whatever he has at the dojo, which is roughly 20 to 30 seats

1771
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:13,280
So I only can sell like 120 at a time and then the rest of the room only plus even if I had extra seats

1772
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:16,280
I can only fit 150 in there. Anyway max and that's

1773
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:24,280
Bar it's an intimate show and the fans are very responsive. It's also a very competitive show

1774
01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:26,280
It's treated as such. There's no belts

1775
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:31,280
There's medallions the idea behind the dad medallions is the team with the most medallions

1776
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:34,280
wins the event

1777
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:41,280
So whatever group you are whether it be I don't know MPW MEW let's wrestle or crown of Maine

1778
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:46,280
Whatever group you're representing whatever group has the most medallions at the end of the vent

1779
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:53,280
Wins that event. So each event is about winning the medallions not about belts and wrestling. There's so many belts right now

1780
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:59,280
They've lost their prestige. Also, there's well that randomly, you know, put them on top of their car and let them fly off the top

1781
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:01,280
Everybody knows about it. You're screwed

1782
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:13,280
Also, yeah, that's that's also why you're not on ring wars two because little Joey knows 110 votes

1783
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:17,280
That's why you're not on the west blame Joey nails

1784
01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:22,280
And the fans the fans voted from the guy that says oh poll results are jaded

1785
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:24,280
So we'll just have everyone comment on the poll results

1786
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:33,280
More intimate and it really saw that one. Yeah, what great Lou Jacobs and JP did not JP

1787
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,280
You were like third, I think

1788
01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:40,280
People that no one thought were gonna win were like neck and neck the whole race

1789
01:39:40,280 --> 01:39:44,280
Jacob's fans would have came to the show to watch Lou Jacobs perform

1790
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:47,280
The point of it is effort, sir

1791
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:54,280
They went to the effort to push so hard to get people to comment coming from the man that said follows and subscribes

1792
01:39:54,280 --> 01:40:00,280
Look how bad he is. It's so cute. Can you see how mad he is? He's so mad about the belt shit

1793
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:02,280
He's more mad at these like come on

1794
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:07,280
Once it comes up one two punch

1795
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:10,280
He's so mad about now

1796
01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:17,280
The belts are in my possession. They're just in pieces

1797
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:19,280
Three weeks to finally get out

1798
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:21,280
So he says it on the podcast

1799
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:27,280
The other one's fine. The other one's like has a small crack in it, but did

1800
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:32,280
You destroyed custom one that was super expensive the one that we had paid plate replaced

1801
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:34,280
You just scuffed it. Yeah

1802
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:40,280
The other one that's not easily replaceable. He destroyed into pieces

1803
01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:42,280
This is working free next weekend

1804
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:45,280
Thumbs

1805
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:49,280
The one that's not busted that'll be one show

1806
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:54,280
You're working off a tab right now. I tell you that's a really big tab

1807
01:40:55,280 --> 01:40:59,280
I'm a grab a work and win ring work. They're gonna cost you a lot of money

1808
01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:05,280
But yeah, so we did the I did the poll way that way I didn't do polls

1809
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:09,280
Here's why I don't do poll. I wanted to channel the traffic to the page

1810
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:14,280
So by people commenting and liking and following the page

1811
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:17,280
The page is analytics when?

1812
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:21,280
I

1813
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:23,280
I

1814
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:25,280
I

1815
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:30,280
The people that they that provide the poll how many how many comments were on that?

1816
01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:34,280
There was hundreds like I want to

1817
01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:36,280
Tell you

1818
01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:41,280
I'm gonna add all the totals. So Joey nails

1819
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:44,280
One with 110 votes. So there's 110

1820
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:46,280
And then I'm gonna add the

1821
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:48,280
I'm gonna add the

1822
01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:55,280
I'm gonna add all the totals. So Joey nails one with 110 votes. So there's 110

1823
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:03,280
These are just the boats to the right comments, but we're just counting the boats then like I said, there's Jacobs got 90 so that's 200

1824
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:07,280
You got 66 so that makes you 266

1825
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:12,280
Maverick had 23

1826
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,280
So that makes it

1827
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:23,280
We'll say what to 290 will just round up why one to 90 math Sam and Matthews had 21

1828
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:26,280
So yeah, there's your other so it's 3 310

1829
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:29,280
primer had eight

1830
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:37,280
318 was 10 year person had the least amount of votes. I

1831
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:43,280
Didn't create this shit. I just had a crowd of ma man and I counted it

1832
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,280
Not once

1833
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:48,280
Not twice but three

1834
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:52,280
Three fucking times

1835
01:42:53,280 --> 01:42:58,280
I was I was hurting my eyeballs by the time I got done counting it and I double-checked. I just I did three times

1836
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:00,280
So it was coherent

1837
01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:07,280
But yeah, so well over 300 votes and there was probably a good five to six hundred comments

1838
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:10,280
There's wild some of that that's wild

1839
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:13,280
Pun the punder taker

1840
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:16,280
You'll know you'll find it keep going if you keep going up

1841
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:19,280
It'll show the graphic fans choice. I'll say right above it

1842
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:25,280
Keep going you're almost there. Oh, keep going. Keep going. There's no more going

1843
01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:30,280
On the Facebook page. Yes on first show you're on the event page. That's why

1844
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:33,280
Okay

1845

Mean room or a go slide on down now. There you go. Keep going. You go

1846
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:41,280
You know, you know

01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:44,280
No, keep going

1848
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:48,280
You know, it looked like even on even on even on

1849
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:51,280
Almost there. Okay

1850
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:54,280
There you go on the comments

1851
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:57,280
338

1852
01:43:57,280 --> 01:44:02,280
With sir with how many shares say 85 85

1853
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:10,280
That's why I'm playing the page content went up for follows and likes look at all the toenails

1854
01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:16,280
But you see that's why I did that it helped the page

1855
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:20,280
I

1856
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:28,280
Many times a joy to parents vote sadly not now because Toby Nelson's one of the referees people that were staff or on the

1857
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:47,280
What please wait

1858
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:31,280
vote

1859
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:39,280
Shout out to shout out to Chris Rex for these graphics. They are bad sweet. Yeah, so this is this is what we got for matches

1860
01:44:47,280 --> 01:45:09,140
the

1861
01:45:09,140 --> 01:45:14,740
the

1862
01:45:14,740 --> 01:45:15,820
the

1863
01:45:15,820 --> 01:45:18,700
MPW the win and the medallion. Well, now Lee Miller's

1864
01:45:19,220 --> 01:45:24,520
Ironically been nominated by MPW to compete at ring wars and of course

1865
01:45:25,060 --> 01:45:27,420
Alexander Lee and Lee Miller both want a piece of each other

1866
01:45:27,580 --> 01:45:32,620
But to make sure the kendo stick doesn't come to play we have a special guest referee a band who's not been in the ring

1867
01:45:32,620 --> 01:45:34,620
and over three years

1868
01:45:35,220 --> 01:45:37,220
Brandi notice. Yeah

1869
01:45:38,460 --> 01:45:41,740
Everybody's like sweet like yeah, and he

1870
01:45:41,740 --> 01:45:48,220
But progress he had his surgery is great. He's feeling great. He's gained weight looking good feeling great

1871
01:45:48,220 --> 01:45:50,220
He's excited to be there. So

1872
01:45:50,740 --> 01:45:55,660
I'm excited to see him. I haven't seen him in that minute. So I know I haven't seen him in a while either. Yeah

1873
01:45:57,020 --> 01:46:02,380
And then we have we were talking about this earlier the wild versus hyper poutine the match

1874
01:46:03,180 --> 01:46:06,740
That you guys have had this match before but the last time this happened

1875
01:46:06,740 --> 01:46:13,660
You guys shelved Ray Ray C. Yeah, he shelved himself. But yeah

1876
01:46:16,060 --> 01:46:21,700
This hyper poutines looking for revenge against the wild however, as we all know from Crown of Maine

1877
01:46:22,220 --> 01:46:27,900
Hyper poutine are not exactly getting along. So yeah, what about the I die and get the revenge or

1878
01:46:29,380 --> 01:46:30,740
All the wild

1879
01:46:30,740 --> 01:46:33,140
Italians now the thing is with tag team matches

1880
01:46:33,140 --> 01:46:39,060
It's not just for one medallion it's for two so this could be a game changer for anybody

1881
01:46:40,500 --> 01:46:46,060
Normally with singles matches or a triple threat or afford. There was only one medallion to win with tag matches

1882
01:46:46,060 --> 01:46:50,340
It's two so literally this could be a game changer for either group

1883
01:46:52,860 --> 01:46:54,860
To be down on

1884
01:46:54,860 --> 01:47:02,420
Two medallions run along one. That's cool. You better win. I know you I hope fates on my side will find out

1885
01:47:02,580 --> 01:47:05,380
It's a flood of a coin fellas. It's a matter of fates

1886
01:47:06,900 --> 01:47:13,020
We have the cluster jam now this match is still gonna happen except Lou Jacobs will not be involved sadly

1887
01:47:13,860 --> 01:47:18,460
He was the runner-up in the boat. So we were gonna let the winner and the runner-up both have a spot

1888
01:47:19,260 --> 01:47:21,260
However, was Lou Jacobs hurt?

1889
01:47:21,260 --> 01:47:25,460
We hope all the best for him. Hope he gets well soon. He was really looking forward to this

1890
01:47:26,060 --> 01:47:28,260
He has a bit of a fracture in his spine

1891
01:47:28,780 --> 01:47:33,020
He's gonna be able to compete for a while. So it's just gonna be the four Joey nails

1892
01:47:33,900 --> 01:47:35,420
versus Chris Rex

1893
01:47:35,420 --> 01:47:37,020
Check Casanova

1894
01:47:37,020 --> 01:47:41,900
This is the donkey boy one fall to a finish showing one man will walk out with a medallion

1895
01:47:41,900 --> 01:47:51,580
I kind of not a representative in company. He's representing the fans. So, you know, you know five person

1896
01:47:51,900 --> 01:47:54,180
Nope, I'm good

1897
01:47:57,540 --> 01:48:00,140
I'm afraid you'd break the medallions like you do belt

1898
01:48:02,660 --> 01:48:04,660
Snazzy hats we go back

1899
01:48:04,660 --> 01:48:10,340
Hey, you know what? I'm wearing it after great here

1900
01:48:10,340 --> 01:48:14,360
I specifically got these ones for Tony Atlas here. You see if you want to see those red white and blue ones

1901
01:48:14,980 --> 01:48:18,600
Those are specifically because obviously Tony Atlas is on the show and I thought

1902
01:48:19,900 --> 01:48:24,340
Yeah, and then also for those of you that are good old man, I should like your flannel

1903
01:48:27,540 --> 01:48:29,540
You might be a boat these are a limited edition

1904
01:48:30,220 --> 01:48:33,980
Every show we have limited edition merch, which is the ring war stickers

1905
01:48:33,980 --> 01:48:36,500
Is there you have a specifically one for every event?

1906
01:48:36,500 --> 01:48:41,580
So every event has its limited edition stickers and hats every event. It's kind of like a collector's thing

1907
01:48:41,580 --> 01:48:47,860
So what the first one there's only a couple ring wars or one hats left. There's like no stickers left

1908
01:48:47,860 --> 01:48:52,940
I apologize, but there's plenty of new ring wars two stickers and obviously the ring wars two hats and once they're gone

1909
01:48:53,700 --> 01:48:55,700
They're going

1910
01:48:56,300 --> 01:48:59,940
Pass after 20 bucks. That's a 20 bucks. They're affordable for everybody

1911
01:48:59,940 --> 01:49:05,180
Um, perhaps a 20 bucks stickers are five dollars so you can get them right at the merch table

1912
01:49:05,460 --> 01:49:10,060
My friend Meg who works at Carolinas will be working the merch table for me. She's lovely. It does a good job

1913
01:49:10,500 --> 01:49:12,900
She oh you grab a kind of hats. Like I said, though

1914
01:49:12,900 --> 01:49:17,420
There's limited quantities of the certain hats so you see the ones on the table and like oh, there's a bunch of my cloud

1915
01:49:17,420 --> 01:49:21,320
There's only a certain amount of each type. So if you want one you got to get it early

1916
01:49:22,140 --> 01:49:27,220
Stickers is only like there's about 50 stickers. You get one great. You don't they run out they're gone

1917
01:49:27,220 --> 01:49:32,620
Um, also the ring wars 1dbd is out, but there's only limited quantity left. There's only 20 copies left

1918
01:49:33,060 --> 01:49:35,060
So if anybody wants one you gotta get one when you can

1919
01:49:36,060 --> 01:49:38,220
So me already got some these are talent announcements

1920
01:49:39,980 --> 01:49:40,900
Also

1921
01:49:40,900 --> 01:49:46,940
The there'll be more match announcements will be another one on Monday and every Monday leading up to the event that we are adding a

1922
01:49:47,380 --> 01:49:51,060
Bonus match the events or set of the normal six matches that we do on every ring wars

1923
01:49:51,860 --> 01:49:54,900
There will be seven because an anonymous sponsor come in

1924
01:49:54,900 --> 01:49:58,740
I'm not gonna say who right now because I'm announced it person on the post

1925
01:49:59,540 --> 01:50:05,580
respectfully but anonymous sponsor came through when the fans choice about came along and

1926
01:50:06,340 --> 01:50:09,100
Donated some money so that some of the runner-ups could have a match

1927
01:50:11,220 --> 01:50:13,220
So

1928
01:50:13,580 --> 01:50:15,860
There you go, jb's like why aren't I picked

1929
01:50:15,860 --> 01:50:23,180
Are you sorry her sessions might actually have to donate money so that fucking JP could run. What did I do?

1930
01:50:24,980 --> 01:50:28,480
Well, you know you broke belt so that's the first thing

1931
01:50:33,420 --> 01:50:39,940
Belts are supposed to be important in wrestling. Why are we smashing them across the pavement because we're okay

1932
01:50:39,940 --> 01:50:43,140
Well, clearly the context is not told correctly

1933
01:50:43,740 --> 01:50:47,180
No, it's not. I'm just I'm gonna keep I'm nothing much obviously

1934
01:50:48,060 --> 01:50:50,060
Are you gonna hold that against it?

1935
01:50:50,620 --> 01:50:54,940
I might be poking you like the bear with a stick like haha. I bet he doesn't like this

1936
01:50:54,940 --> 01:51:01,660
I'm gonna keep talking with this one. I was cleaning out my garage. I kept the belts in a belt bag of both belt bags

1937
01:51:01,740 --> 01:51:03,220
No longer

1938
01:51:03,220 --> 01:51:10,000
Yeah, basically I was cleaning out my garage and I took the belts and I turned around ADHD kicked in

1939
01:51:10,260 --> 01:51:15,460
Put them on top of the car continued cleaning and then I was done. I went back inside

1940
01:51:15,460 --> 01:51:20,220
I woke up the next morning and I went to work and about an hour into me being at work

1941
01:51:20,220 --> 01:51:26,180
I then all of a sudden get this dread over my entire mind. It was like did I forget?

1942
01:51:28,420 --> 01:51:29,620
And

1943
01:51:29,620 --> 01:51:37,100
Lo and behold I messaged Hannah and she found them they I would have hoped they'd just fallen into the driveway

1944
01:51:37,100 --> 01:51:39,720
No, they were about a quarter mile up on route to oh

1945
01:51:40,460 --> 01:51:46,060
No, and the mpw one was is still inside of its bag

1946
01:51:46,060 --> 01:51:53,420
And it just has a slight crack that around one side of the main plate. I'm that it looks totally fine

1947
01:51:53,820 --> 01:51:56,020
It's a hard club. That's character. Yeah

1948
01:51:56,020 --> 01:52:03,980
It's honestly you wouldn't even know that it's there. However, however the hardcore belt for crown of Maine has been obliterated

1949
01:52:08,180 --> 01:52:10,180
The bag exploded

1950
01:52:10,620 --> 01:52:15,660
Wait, I don't know what hit it. I think I was a paintball gun bag

1951
01:52:16,380 --> 01:52:18,380
thick bag the belt

1952
01:52:18,380 --> 01:52:25,900
Was nothing and it was fine. No longer. You are the hardcore maniac. You are now JP O'Reilly the destroyer belts

1953
01:52:27,380 --> 01:52:29,380
I

1954
01:52:31,580 --> 01:52:34,180
Am Andy Orton was the legend killer. He's the belt destroyer

1955
01:52:37,380 --> 01:52:38,740
I

1956
01:52:38,740 --> 01:52:40,740
Want to come out with it? I have the leather

1957
01:52:41,260 --> 01:52:46,100
And bring a belt to the show even if we're not wearing pants that require a belt just a fuck

1958
01:52:46,100 --> 01:52:48,100
There is a boat

1959
01:52:48,340 --> 01:52:50,860
Start pulling at people's belts and short

1960
01:52:51,740 --> 01:52:54,440
My this could be perverse and not allowed but um, yes

1961
01:52:55,460 --> 01:52:57,460
Tony Atlas was on the show

1962
01:52:58,740 --> 01:53:00,740
Yeah

1963
01:53:01,260 --> 01:53:04,620
Why a picture when he's in his 30s and not like

1964
01:53:06,060 --> 01:53:08,060
You guys understand it so

1965
01:53:08,060 --> 01:53:15,260
I have a bunch of people actually asked me this and I'm gonna give you this analogy. So if you have an event and

1966
01:53:15,860 --> 01:53:19,060
You're hosting this event. There's a couple reasons why two in particular

1967
01:53:19,820 --> 01:53:27,140
There was an event with someone famous on it. Let's say it's non wrestling related. Let's say I have a meet-and-greet planned

1968
01:53:28,860 --> 01:53:30,860
With I don't know

1969
01:53:31,340 --> 01:53:33,340
Dennis Rodman on it

1970
01:53:33,340 --> 01:53:40,100
Okay, am I gonna put a picture of Dennis Rodman now or when he was with the Chicago Bulls and won a championship

1971
01:53:43,620 --> 01:53:46,260
You'll see the difference look up both right now put on the screen too

1972
01:53:56,100 --> 01:53:58,500
Okay now look at one when he was in the Chicago Bulls

1973
01:53:58,500 --> 01:54:02,220
When it was his payday when he won the championships and it was like the premier team in basketball

1974
01:54:03,540 --> 01:54:07,340
Yeah, or when he was when in the WCW for those hot minute with NWL

1975
01:54:07,860 --> 01:54:14,420
You're gonna put that picture because that's what he was at his peak. That's also how everybody remembers him now

1976
01:54:14,420 --> 01:54:16,420
Let's attain it to wrestling

1977
01:54:16,660 --> 01:54:18,180
so

1978
01:54:18,180 --> 01:54:21,140
Let's say I had Rick Flair on the show since we're talking about Rick Flair

1979
01:54:21,660 --> 01:54:24,140
Earlier because I'll be Alice Rick Flair legends of wrestling

1980
01:54:24,140 --> 01:54:29,860
Things the same you put Rick Flair on the show you're gonna put a picture Rick Flair now or for one like he won

1981
01:54:29,860 --> 01:54:31,860
On the WCW WF championships

1982
01:54:32,980 --> 01:54:34,980
That's true. Okay, I understand

1983
01:54:36,980 --> 01:54:40,140
Everybody that says that now on the other side

1984
01:54:40,660 --> 01:54:44,420
The other second comes in there's two reasons. That was the first one the second one

1985
01:54:45,420 --> 01:54:47,420
second one is

1986
01:54:47,780 --> 01:54:49,660
Do you think the person that hit the

1987
01:54:49,660 --> 01:54:56,660
second one is do you think the person that who is a legend or if someone famous sees

1988
01:54:58,300 --> 01:55:00,300
Themself on a poster

1989
01:55:00,380 --> 01:55:04,260
Do you think they want to see themself now or when they were on the marquee?

1990
01:55:06,700 --> 01:55:10,080
They're gonna be when they were on the marquee because it brings them back to the time

1991
01:55:11,100 --> 01:55:16,860
That's good a great time that you get older like I you saw that video of me when I was younger with you in it

1992
01:55:16,860 --> 01:55:18,860
they think

1993
01:55:21,860 --> 01:55:24,620
Look at us then now look at us now

1994
01:55:26,060 --> 01:55:27,500
What I mean

1995
01:55:27,500 --> 01:55:29,460
as you get older

1996
01:55:29,460 --> 01:55:33,900
Those times when you're younger bring out better memories and to me

1997
01:55:34,500 --> 01:55:38,900
Tony's old he's in great shape stuff, but he's getting older and I want him to remember the good times

1998
01:55:38,900 --> 01:55:42,820
So if I can and when I get showed him that poster I was at the I came to see him

1999
01:55:42,820 --> 01:55:46,180
And talked to him about it when he was at the Phoenix Pro Show in Brewer

2000
01:55:48,100 --> 01:55:52,460
He looked I showed him my phone he could just grab my phone and held he's like Eric

2001
01:55:53,060 --> 01:55:55,460
It's first time he actually fully seven in like Eric back

2002
01:55:58,540 --> 01:56:01,100
That's a good looking he said that's a good looking poster

2003
01:56:01,780 --> 01:56:05,420
And I can you make sure to give me a couple of those so I can take that and keep it home with me

2004
01:56:05,420 --> 01:56:07,420
I said yes. Yes, I will

2005
01:56:08,020 --> 01:56:11,660
So I'm gonna give him some of those and I'm also gonna get more of the ring wars to hats

2006
01:56:11,660 --> 01:56:13,660
He's gonna get the first one. It's gonna get

2007
01:56:14,860 --> 01:56:17,820
Because I'm getting older and I get it and

2008
01:56:18,620 --> 01:56:22,820
Now I understand it more so to all the people that say oh, it's not what he's in

2009
01:56:22,820 --> 01:56:25,540
This doesn't look like these now. I'm like so you want them

2010
01:56:26,060 --> 01:56:29,020
You want to feel bad you want to feel like?

2011
01:56:29,620 --> 01:56:31,620
You want to feel bad? You want to feel happy?

2012
01:56:31,900 --> 01:56:35,820
Cuz I rather I rather put a smile on his face and they have a good time

2013
01:56:36,140 --> 01:56:39,340
As we don't know Tony's getting old we know from his last time he won't wrestle

2014
01:56:39,340 --> 01:56:41,340
He's in his what?

2015
01:56:43,500 --> 01:56:45,500
Yeah

2016
01:56:45,780 --> 01:56:49,380
And this also goes back to one final thing I know we've been doing this for a minute

2017
01:56:50,180 --> 01:56:52,180
There's people that don't get it last chance

2018
01:56:52,700 --> 01:56:54,700
And we'll back to Robbie Ellis

2019
01:56:55,180 --> 01:56:57,180
Robbie Ellis

2020
01:56:58,420 --> 01:57:00,780
What he didn't get it twice when he had a stop us

2021
01:57:02,060 --> 01:57:08,420
He got he had to because he physically couldn't he was my camp I to be champ he dropped the belt

2022
01:57:08,420 --> 01:57:12,140
As he was going over to Italy for a vacation with his with his family

2023
01:57:12,900 --> 01:57:15,340
He does it every year he has a house over there

2024
01:57:15,820 --> 01:57:18,460
And he also wrestled over there he did it went on his trip

2025
01:57:18,460 --> 01:57:22,180
He wrestles over there, and then he came back and I was gonna put the belt back on

2026
01:57:22,980 --> 01:57:25,860
The week that he was he was literally at a show in

2027
01:57:26,380 --> 01:57:28,380
in Cornville, Maine

2028
01:57:28,780 --> 01:57:31,020
He was an outback when he got a phone call

2029
01:57:31,900 --> 01:57:34,540
From two of them one from his doctor

2030
01:57:34,540 --> 01:57:40,700
And one for his wife so not gonna say what was said that's all his info

2031
01:57:41,180 --> 01:57:43,740
But he came to me crying and said he couldn't wrestle anymore

2032
01:57:44,780 --> 01:57:49,340
And there's reasons behind that and that's his personal stuff. I'm not putting that out there

2033
01:57:49,340 --> 01:57:52,340
Yeah, but see a grown man his age crying

2034
01:57:53,220 --> 01:57:55,700
And he hugged me and he thanked me for everything

2035
01:57:56,420 --> 01:58:01,700
And I and last night I didn't see him again for your years after that until a random Chikara event

2036
01:58:01,700 --> 01:58:04,860
I saw he used to wrestle for Chikara for my quack English

2037
01:58:05,860 --> 01:58:10,420
And then he hugged me and said hi to me and everything but like

2038
01:58:13,420 --> 01:58:16,180
Robbie Ellis lives in Portland area. I think he's important

2039
01:58:17,140 --> 01:58:22,180
He had a art gallery down there. That's what we did for a living. He's bought and sold art and did Ryan options

2040
01:58:22,980 --> 01:58:26,460
Yeah, we've art pieces and that's what he did every year for a living

2041
01:58:26,460 --> 01:58:32,980
Yeah, so he didn't get to see you whenever I can put a smile on someone's face

2042
01:58:32,980 --> 01:58:35,460
That's been doing this long enough and that's the one thing I can do

2043
01:58:35,460 --> 01:58:39,780
I'm gonna do it, you know, if you won't give me shit about it like oh, that's not how he looks now

2044
01:58:39,780 --> 01:58:44,780
I'm like you should be happy you're getting to see him compete because we one day where he can't no more

2045
01:58:45,500 --> 01:58:47,180
There's gonna be time

2046
01:58:47,180 --> 01:58:51,140
Even he can't do this anymore. You know same thing with me, you know

2047
01:58:51,140 --> 01:58:54,240
We're all gonna get older and older and older and older and older and older and older and older and older and older and older and older

2048
01:58:54,240 --> 01:58:59,420
And I'm not doing this anymore. You won't remember the good times. You remember the shit times

2049
01:59:00,700 --> 01:59:06,340
Right. Oh, I know I just swear this whole thing. It made it feel more emotional now, but no

2050
01:59:07,820 --> 01:59:10,100
Yeah, no, it's great. And also

2051
01:59:10,860 --> 01:59:16,140
The last part is when you see that Tony's an old-school wrestler. He's been around

2052
01:59:17,180 --> 01:59:19,180
decades

2053
01:59:19,780 --> 01:59:21,780
And I'm almost 40

2054
01:59:21,780 --> 01:59:25,380
But there's some people come in his event that are older than me. I

2055
01:59:25,980 --> 01:59:32,260
Remember him watch remember watching him and and in the WWF and em and that I've had someone asked me

2056
01:59:32,260 --> 01:59:38,220
I remember watching him win the tag bells rocket Johnson. I said and they bought a ticket to the event

2057
01:59:39,740 --> 01:59:41,340
So them

2058
01:59:41,340 --> 01:59:44,220
seeing that and then coming to show

2059
01:59:44,860 --> 01:59:48,340
And seeing him in there because they remember him from that time

2060
01:59:49,220 --> 01:59:51,020
He looked like that

2061
01:59:51,020 --> 01:59:53,180
It's an attachment thing. It's just like I

2062
01:59:53,780 --> 01:59:56,280
Know Hogan's in the negative news right now

2063
01:59:56,900 --> 02:00:02,900
like if we all when we're kids see Hogan and oh my god, that's so awesome and we're all excited and

2064
02:00:03,420 --> 02:00:06,580
Then we see him now. He doesn't look anything like when he was at his peak

2065
02:00:07,540 --> 02:00:12,340
He look I mean he looks older but like we assess from our brain and that

2066
02:00:13,060 --> 02:00:16,780
Stimulation from on our childhoods or when we were growing up watching that stuff

2067
02:00:16,780 --> 02:00:21,540
it's attachment and we see that and that's what's gonna make us want to come and see that because

2068
02:00:22,180 --> 02:00:24,100
We're gonna appreciate it

2069
02:00:24,100 --> 02:00:26,100
That's how we know we associate

2070
02:00:27,620 --> 02:00:30,620
And that's with anything not just wrestling the actors

2071
02:00:31,420 --> 02:00:34,020
You know, you see a picture of Mel Gibson now

2072
02:00:35,260 --> 02:00:38,860
We'll go with Mel Gibson was unloaded. It was in what lethal weapon

2073
02:00:42,540 --> 02:00:44,540
Right alone when he was in

2074
02:00:44,540 --> 02:00:48,660
Rocky or Rambo and then look at the money's in the expendables

2075
02:00:49,660 --> 02:00:52,540
Totally different. Yeah, exactly exactly

2076
02:00:53,660 --> 02:00:55,660
It's a social

2077
02:00:55,660 --> 02:00:56,620
Yeah

2078
02:00:56,620 --> 02:00:58,620
Well, they're

2079
02:00:58,620 --> 02:01:04,700
Yeah, no worries guys. No, we can go on forever. There's plenty other shit to talk about but yeah, that's ring wars. There's also

2080
02:01:05,980 --> 02:01:06,900
a

2081
02:01:06,900 --> 02:01:10,300
Week from now there's NPW and MEW coming up

2082
02:01:10,300 --> 02:01:16,620
I don't believe them out because they are coming and I am MEW champion and intergender champion

2083
02:01:16,620 --> 02:01:19,680
I'm also the king of New England

2084
02:01:25,740 --> 02:01:29,000
Silence you dare to smudge me

2085
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:37,000
Oh, yeah, we need more King Johnson yes, please

2086
02:01:44,760 --> 02:01:50,000
Like I don't like him I like you I like you I don't like the one with the cat

2087
02:01:50,560 --> 02:01:52,560
He breaks things he can go away

2088
02:01:52,560 --> 02:01:57,420
This is the process if I give you my cat if I give me my crown the polish you would drop

2089
02:01:57,420 --> 02:02:02,600
The things already broken. He's a disabled cat. So I can't get broken anymore

2090
02:02:02,600 --> 02:02:04,960
So you break belts and cats?

2091
02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:13,920
Are you broke he was broken when you caught him? Yeah, so you're taking care of a disabled cat. That's very sweet of you

2092
02:02:15,880 --> 02:02:17,880
Stop breaking shit though

2093
02:02:18,680 --> 02:02:25,080
All right. Well, we got to do this again sometime in the game. Yes, the king will come back with his royal court

2094
02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:27,080
the

2095
02:02:27,080 --> 02:02:29,080
Definitely do this again because

2096
02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:32,080
Everybody loves the king voice like please to make it like that for my life

2097
02:02:32,080 --> 02:02:35,280
Well, my light switch is only time to turn on the voice. Okay, I'm right here

2098
02:02:36,720 --> 02:02:38,720
Still my favorite fucking

2099
02:02:44,560 --> 02:02:46,560
You're gonna have to do this until the next

2100
02:02:49,480 --> 02:02:53,040
That's the problem I was talking to aid and Andrews like you're the king of New England

2101
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:57,160
but you can't have it I want you to do it forever because it's hilarious, but I don't want to do it forever because

2102
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:07,520
Is of the crown being king in New England is it's like the it's like the money in the bank thing

2103
02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:13,240
I cash in any time any place anywhere. It's like but then I can't be the king anymore. I can't be royalty

2104
02:03:15,120 --> 02:03:17,120
The smatch man my own

2105
02:03:17,120 --> 02:03:23,040
Court oh, yeah, you haven't even cashed that in yet. That's right. No, maybe I will new hardcore boy

2106
02:03:24,160 --> 02:03:27,500
Well, wait a minute you broke the belt. I don't want that. That's broken

2107
02:03:31,960 --> 02:03:38,280
Eric Johnson's tool to be doing any of that makes squeeze me. Oh

2108
02:03:39,200 --> 02:03:41,200
No

2109
02:03:41,200 --> 02:03:47,120
Listen, I may already be be dead by from the end of Friday anyway, so oh

2110
02:03:47,960 --> 02:03:49,240
Yes

2111
02:03:49,240 --> 02:03:51,240
Cruel is about to give you a real

2112
02:03:52,480 --> 02:03:54,480
The open challenge

2113
02:03:56,560 --> 02:04:00,480
We know it's going to happen, you know, it's gonna come out there and kill you

2114
02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:07,560
Okay, I'll do it I'll come out and I'll shut my crown straight up your rectum

2115
02:04:11,200 --> 02:04:15,840
I wouldn't tell you I'm gonna cash in when I when I feel like it like I'm gonna

2116
02:04:16,120 --> 02:04:20,800
Give you a hint and then tell you and then go not even know I'm gonna surprise you. Wait, you're tired

2117
02:04:23,720 --> 02:04:26,960
Which is usually after five minutes of running masses, but anyway, I would wait

2118
02:04:26,960 --> 02:04:28,720
Until you're tired

2119
02:04:28,720 --> 02:04:34,600
and blown up in hurts and I come out to you and I shove my scepter right up your ass and

2120
02:04:34,720 --> 02:04:40,480
Then I pass in and then I'm gonna win and then I'm gonna realize the belts broken and then I'm gonna slap you in the face

2121
02:04:51,840 --> 02:04:53,840
Everything

2122
02:04:53,840 --> 02:04:55,840
10 years

2123
02:05:23,840 --> 02:05:25,840
Completely scorched

2124
02:05:25,840 --> 02:05:39,640
Oh

2125
02:05:39,640 --> 02:05:45,000
The next day had family is the diagram Levi's in the middle of a snowstorm. That's why he's not on

02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:33,000

2141
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:35,240
and non kingly fashion

2142
02:06:35,240 --> 02:06:38,420
that transition

2143
02:06:38,420 --> 02:06:41,020
three do you want me to get off screen come back on the long

2144
02:06:41,020 --> 02:06:42,420
the

2145
02:06:42,420 --> 02:06:46,960
I make you feel better like I was a podcast where I'm not going in my own home

2146
02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:49,320
weirdo anyway

2147
02:06:49,320 --> 02:06:54,240
that Saturday I'll be in Franklin Maine for me W defending my me W

2148
02:06:54,240 --> 02:06:58,240
championship against Jason Maverick I will say Jason Maverick has to serve

2149
02:06:58,240 --> 02:07:00,940
the shot bought the odds to get here

2150
02:07:00,940 --> 02:07:02,200
and he's here

2151
02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:04,700
and I know a lot of people have been

2152
02:07:04,700 --> 02:07:10,940
the back in that horse for a while hoping he will win that race eventually because obviously he's got a lot of horses in the

2153
02:07:10,940 --> 02:07:12,820
so

2154
02:07:12,820 --> 02:07:15,620
more to a no this old horse

2155
02:07:15,620 --> 02:07:17,580
in place that a

2156
02:07:17,580 --> 02:07:19,560
and he never loses

2157
02:07:19,560 --> 02:07:21,560
so

2158
02:07:21,560 --> 02:07:23,560
you have his work out from

2159
02:07:23,560 --> 02:07:28,860
the course of every one is on the favorite for us to the giant size most are a long

2160
02:07:28,860 --> 02:07:35,040
that again as opposed to the other big yellow we give away in the 50 video raffle so

2161
02:07:35,040 --> 02:08:03,160
that you can buy tickets for that at the event on

2162
02:08:03,160 --> 02:08:05,160
which is February 2nd

2163
02:08:05,160 --> 02:08:07,600
that's Russell's coming back to Milford

2164
02:08:07,600 --> 02:08:09,400
where I just saw that

2165
02:08:09,400 --> 02:08:13,040
it just got announced I think either today or last night

2166
02:08:13,040 --> 02:08:19,040
title for title it's the best club me and Alexander Lee defending

2167
02:08:19,040 --> 02:08:21,580
against the classic or

2168
02:08:21,580 --> 02:08:37,960
, they're also the put up their belts and Sammy W. Tagg champions versus the let's Russell tagg champion so

2169
02:08:37,960 --> 02:09:05,380
the

2170
02:09:05,380 --> 02:09:11,080
I would say it's also in the form of championship belts, but you know someone over here breaks them all the time so we can't

2171
02:09:13,780 --> 02:09:15,600
Got him again

2172
02:09:15,600 --> 02:09:19,840
I'm gonna be on him about it forever. He knows it too. That's why he's like I hate my life right now

2173
02:09:20,500 --> 02:09:22,500
so mad at me

2174
02:09:22,500 --> 02:09:35,540
He's also mad he's he's not on ring wars, but JP JP. I'm sorry Joey nails one to vote and yet someone got injured and left

2175
02:09:35,540 --> 02:09:39,140
You JP, I'm not even wrestling on my own show you asshole

2176
02:09:41,260 --> 02:09:43,760
I can't have a spot and there's a bonus

2177
02:09:43,760 --> 02:09:48,840
I'll be sitting right in that chair. Hey

2178
02:09:50,840 --> 02:09:54,400
He should offer to come to the show he's a not my shit here watch a lot of rumble

2179
02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:57,800
He didn't say he's coming to show he lives down the street from the venue

2180
02:09:57,800 --> 02:10:03,040
I'm gonna say yeah, I'm gonna watch anytime he wants to instead of going down the street and

2181
02:10:03,320 --> 02:10:08,200
Supporting the local show like you should have maybe I want to change my mind

2182
02:10:08,200 --> 02:10:10,920
But now you can lick my taint

2183
02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:15,960
Well, hey, I know he can't be on ring wars 2 but is there a possibility in the future?

2184
02:10:15,960 --> 02:10:17,840
There's a ring wars 3 well

2185
02:10:17,840 --> 02:10:22,840
That's the thing is well you you guys know how it really works with ring wars like the fans choice is a fan's thing

2186
02:10:22,840 --> 02:10:25,880
I wanted to do it just to see if how the response would go and it went great

2187
02:10:25,880 --> 02:10:30,800
But with ring wars, I'm not happy to explain this because I didn't get to before but ring wars

2188
02:10:30,800 --> 02:10:34,040
I don't book the talent. I don't choose the talent

2189
02:10:34,560 --> 02:10:37,800
Hell, I even put myself as the alternate in the case of someone gets hurt

2190
02:10:37,800 --> 02:10:41,480
It doesn't show up because I don't even plan on myself to wrestle the town is

2191
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:43,600
nominated

2192
02:10:43,600 --> 02:10:45,440
by the promotions

2193
02:10:45,440 --> 02:10:48,760
Much like you cat you were you were nominated by

2194
02:10:49,280 --> 02:10:55,160
MPW you and your partner Dylan X the while were nominated by MPW along with your cohorts

2195
02:10:55,960 --> 02:10:57,960
Jake Hess and Lee Miller

2196
02:10:59,080 --> 02:11:03,480
They were all nominated on and then over here for less Russell

2197
02:11:03,480 --> 02:11:06,480
Or donkey

2198
02:11:07,600 --> 02:11:09,600
Alexander Lee

2199
02:11:09,600 --> 02:11:14,840
All nominated let's wrestle along with big juicy who was facing me W's

2200
02:11:14,840 --> 02:11:18,600
Mac Pat's all so on and so forth people you're nominated and sent to me by the promotion

2201
02:11:19,600 --> 02:11:21,600
So it's not up to me. I

2202
02:11:21,800 --> 02:11:25,160
Do usually book a alternate for my shows

2203
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:29,960
However, because I'm not wrestling it's cheaper and easier for me to get the talent

2204
02:11:29,960 --> 02:11:33,760
myself right also, there's so many people on the show

2205
02:11:33,760 --> 02:11:38,800
There's no point to having one so like with the cluster jam someone's out, but there's still four people in the match. So do I

2206
02:11:39,320 --> 02:11:44,800
Fill the spot and give it to somebody else or do I let the people that are in the match have the chance to represent?

2207
02:11:44,800 --> 02:11:47,560
Not just themselves, but their respective promotions more

2208
02:11:49,200 --> 02:11:51,200
Because with that I

2209
02:11:51,560 --> 02:11:54,520
Don't want to take away from someone's opportunity to show

2210
02:11:54,520 --> 02:12:00,440
What they can do when there was five people cool, but now there's four it's not much of a difference

2211
02:12:00,440 --> 02:12:05,280
These people still get to fight it out and have that's that's why I didn't put someone else in there

2212
02:12:05,280 --> 02:12:11,040
I don't want to take away someone's opportunity to work for it and really want to show and represent their promotion

2213
02:12:11,040 --> 02:12:12,480
respectfully

2214
02:12:12,480 --> 02:12:15,960
Right, so that's why I didn't have a replacement there JP

2215
02:12:17,480 --> 02:12:19,480
But will there be a real

2216
02:12:19,480 --> 02:12:24,560
that's why I didn't have a replacement there JP

2217
02:12:24,560 --> 02:12:37,640
the

2218
02:12:37,640 --> 02:13:07,580
toe tone

2219
02:13:07,580 --> 02:13:15,660
the venue that was only letting select people in one of them being Larry Huntley and the NAWA because they've been consistent.

2220
02:13:16,940 --> 02:13:23,260
The other one they let in only because of my tenure from running there for years and never having any problems.

2221
02:13:24,020 --> 02:13:27,100
And because I name dropped the previous person that used to run the

2222
02:13:27,740 --> 02:13:35,740
used to run out the community center now the treasurer does it, but the person I named dropped that person and that person said yes, he was good for many a year and they remembered who it was.

2223
02:13:35,740 --> 02:13:41,180
They're gonna let me do it as long as I don't screw up the venue things like that.

2224
02:13:41,740 --> 02:13:42,540
They're gonna let me do that.

2225
02:13:42,540 --> 02:13:44,180
So I had doors.

2226
02:13:45,100 --> 02:13:45,580
What?

2227
02:13:45,580 --> 02:13:48,060
As a break some chairs, lock the doors.

2228
02:13:48,940 --> 02:13:49,820
It's how people do it.

2229
02:13:49,820 --> 02:13:52,380
People they break, they destroy buildings.

2230
02:13:52,380 --> 02:13:55,100
That's why it's hard for a lot of wrestling companies now in Maine.

2231
02:13:55,420 --> 02:13:57,660
If you notice a lot of venues, there's a lot less venues now.

2232
02:13:57,980 --> 02:13:58,460
Yeah.

2233
02:13:58,460 --> 02:14:01,340
And this is the reason just people are taking care.

2234
02:14:01,340 --> 02:14:02,140
So I'm going in.

2235
02:14:02,140 --> 02:14:09,660
This is a test run because the problem with Paul Meyer, I love the Somerset Boar House, but it's a small venue and they only they don't even have 100 chairs.

2236
02:14:09,660 --> 02:14:12,700
Well, at the Fairfield Community Center, they have over 200 chairs.

2237
02:14:12,700 --> 02:14:13,180
Yeah.

2238
02:14:13,180 --> 02:14:21,980
So I need I need if I'm already if I'm selling out a venue that has 100 seats in it, I need a bigger venue.

2239
02:14:21,980 --> 02:14:23,260
So we're gonna give this a try.

2240
02:14:23,260 --> 02:14:25,900
It's only 25 minutes on the street down the road.

2241
02:14:25,900 --> 02:14:26,700
Exactly.

2242
02:14:26,700 --> 02:14:31,660
So we're gonna be we're gonna announce it on the first, but I forgot to give it to you.

2243
02:14:31,660 --> 02:14:33,900
Guys, we're going to give it to you guys for the whole thing here.

2244
02:14:33,900 --> 02:14:35,340
Oh, thank you.

2245
02:14:35,340 --> 02:14:36,780
Thank you.

2246
02:14:36,780 --> 02:14:38,140
So you guys get here.

2247
02:14:38,140 --> 02:14:41,900
We'll be having those little things will be handed out the door to on the first.

2248
02:14:41,900 --> 02:14:46,620
We're going to a discount to if anybody buys a ticket that day, they will take five dollars off every ticket they buy.

2249
02:14:47,660 --> 02:14:54,300
So they buy the day and you like I said, we usually with the ringside seats, they sell out in the first two weeks.

2250
02:14:54,300 --> 02:14:55,500
We have them on sale.

2251
02:14:55,500 --> 02:14:57,740
So I anticipate that will probably happen.

2252
02:14:57,740 --> 02:15:00,540
It's going to be we already got some talent locked in.

2253
02:15:00,540 --> 02:15:01,500
I'm not giving that away.

2254
02:15:01,500 --> 02:15:03,500
It's gonna be a good little show.

2255
02:15:05,500 --> 02:15:08,460
Some people have already been reached out to by promotions.

2256
02:15:08,460 --> 02:15:11,740
So if you haven't heard anything yet, be afraid.

2257
02:15:11,740 --> 02:15:14,300
Don't be like, oh, no, god damn it.

2258
02:15:15,180 --> 02:15:16,300
You gotta wait.

2259
02:15:16,300 --> 02:15:18,700
Some people have some people have.

2260
02:15:18,700 --> 02:15:23,260
So it's a Friday, March 14th Fairfield Community Center.

2261
02:15:23,260 --> 02:15:25,260
I think this will be our main ring wars.

2262
02:15:25,260 --> 02:15:29,180
I mean, it was 15 for General Mission 24.

2263
02:15:30,620 --> 02:15:33,740
And we're going to try to pack them in like the old days.

2264
02:15:33,740 --> 02:15:36,060
Good old IWD days back in the day.

2265
02:15:36,060 --> 02:15:36,940
We're going to try it.

2266
02:15:36,940 --> 02:15:39,580
So we're going to do it on National Pi Day.

2267
02:15:39,580 --> 02:15:41,420
So maybe there'll be some pie involved.

2268
02:15:42,220 --> 02:15:44,700
I think you just go look that up.

2269
02:15:45,900 --> 02:15:47,020
No earlier.

2270
02:15:47,020 --> 02:15:47,820
You're still hungry.

2271
02:15:48,540 --> 02:15:49,980
I mean, yes, but no.

2272
02:15:51,420 --> 02:15:52,140
But food.

2273
02:15:52,140 --> 02:15:56,060
Listen, where can we find you?

2274
02:15:56,060 --> 02:15:57,580
Where can we find you?

2275
02:15:57,580 --> 02:15:58,860
But like Twitter,

2276
02:15:58,860 --> 02:15:59,900
it's cool.

2277
02:15:59,900 --> 02:16:03,260
EJ and all the all the platforms except I don't do Twitter.

2278
02:16:03,260 --> 02:16:08,380
Twitter's Twitter's kind of toxic and it's dying out.

2279
02:16:08,380 --> 02:16:11,820
So I barely use my Instagram, but I still use it to advertise

2280
02:16:11,820 --> 02:16:15,660
my DJ gigs and wrestling mostly on Facebook and Snapchat.

2281
02:16:15,660 --> 02:16:17,660
But all of them are the same old school.

2282
02:16:17,660 --> 02:16:23,580
And you're sort of so so you've got old school, you're on Instagram,

2283
02:16:23,580 --> 02:16:30,620
Facebook, Snapchat, you'll find me where I'm at, DJ or wrestling or both.

2284
02:16:31,420 --> 02:16:34,220
I was a lot of the most you if anybody checks my like

2285
02:16:34,220 --> 02:16:36,780
snap map to find where I'm at for gigs, I'm all over the place.

2286
02:16:37,580 --> 02:16:39,260
It's going to go wrestling all over the place.

2287
02:16:39,260 --> 02:16:41,420
So that's how you find out everything.

2288
02:16:42,380 --> 02:16:45,580
For ring more stuff, it's main ring wars on Facebook.

2289
02:16:45,580 --> 02:16:47,980
You can get your tickets there or you can just hit me up old school,

2290
02:16:47,980 --> 02:16:52,300
you do it on, like I said, on Facebook or Snapchat.

2291
02:16:52,860 --> 02:16:54,220
Awesome. Awesome.

2292
02:16:54,220 --> 02:16:56,300
Well, like I said, we got to do this again.

2293
02:16:56,300 --> 02:16:57,100
Like this is fun.

2294
02:16:57,100 --> 02:17:00,700
Like we're thinking about doing the changing up the podcast a little bit

2295
02:17:00,700 --> 02:17:05,580
or just doing just like guests and then doing maybe like a news.

2296
02:17:05,580 --> 02:17:09,820
That's smart because I watched I watched a piece the last one with I think was with Smiley.

2297
02:17:10,460 --> 02:17:11,260
Yep.

2298
02:17:11,260 --> 02:17:16,060
Yeah, because Smiley worked for me one time way back.

2299
02:17:16,060 --> 02:17:18,780
He was working with the group Super Lucha Explosiva.

2300
02:17:19,580 --> 02:17:20,380
What's up here?

2301
02:17:21,500 --> 02:17:24,700
And they were doing something with the Kabang Festival back in the day.

2302
02:17:25,420 --> 02:17:28,540
And he would come up and was there and they just wanted to work.

2303
02:17:28,540 --> 02:17:31,580
And like we were doing our own show in Brewer and they were part of like

2304
02:17:31,580 --> 02:17:32,780
they were doing the Kabang Festival.

2305
02:17:32,780 --> 02:17:34,700
It's like one of the first years they're doing it.

2306
02:17:34,700 --> 02:17:35,820
They don't do it anymore.

2307
02:17:35,820 --> 02:17:38,220
But they were wrestling on it, like right in the middle of downtown.

2308
02:17:38,220 --> 02:17:43,180
And they there were a bunch of them in town.

2309
02:17:43,180 --> 02:17:44,460
He was he was one of them.

2310
02:17:45,100 --> 02:17:45,820
I want to say.

2311
02:17:47,820 --> 02:17:49,820
Andy Lee Ray, which is a Pokemon kid.

2312
02:17:49,820 --> 02:17:50,860
Yeah, I remember that.

2313
02:17:51,900 --> 02:17:52,460
Who else?

2314
02:17:52,940 --> 02:17:53,740
I think Mark Quinn.

2315
02:17:55,180 --> 02:17:59,180
I'm trying to remember there was a bunch of them that came up together from from down

2316
02:17:59,180 --> 02:18:02,620
that way from the House of Glory area that were trained down there.

2317
02:18:02,620 --> 02:18:03,660
They were just trying to get work.

2318
02:18:03,660 --> 02:18:04,940
And that's where I first saw them.

2319
02:18:04,940 --> 02:18:08,940
And I said, look, I'm booked up, but I will put matches together so you guys, while you're

2320
02:18:08,940 --> 02:18:12,780
up here and get some work, because a lot of them are super green and kind of a lot of work yet.

2321
02:18:13,580 --> 02:18:15,180
And I put them on the show.

2322
02:18:15,180 --> 02:18:17,740
So he did work for me to be at one point.

2323
02:18:19,260 --> 02:18:25,580
So, yeah, I just thought I watched pieces of it and I was like, oh, wow, the irony of that,

2324
02:18:25,580 --> 02:18:26,700
you know, that just happened.

2325
02:18:26,700 --> 02:18:28,060
But I did see how long it was.

2326
02:18:28,060 --> 02:18:30,060
And then you guys would do your recaps on stuff.

2327
02:18:30,060 --> 02:18:33,740
I'm like, it's a long like usually these these type of podcasts where you're like,

2328
02:18:33,740 --> 02:18:37,580
I have a podcast where you're interviewing people, especially if you are asking questions

2329
02:18:37,580 --> 02:18:41,100
or you guys have your questions and then there's other questions, it's going to take a long time.

2330
02:18:41,660 --> 02:18:44,620
And then a lot of why I also like my go out.

2331
02:18:44,620 --> 02:18:47,580
So I usually avoid some of these podcasts because I'll be on here

2332
02:18:47,580 --> 02:18:49,100
and everybody wants to hear stories.

2333
02:18:49,100 --> 02:18:56,700
I got tons of them and it's like, you know, that's what I'm going to do till midnight.

2334
02:18:56,700 --> 02:19:00,940
But, you know, it's part of the territory and I know a bunch of people hit me up.

2335
02:19:00,940 --> 02:19:05,100
I know I think Versace Stoner has been trying to get me on his for a while.

2336
02:19:05,100 --> 02:19:07,420
And I'm going to hit him up in a way I am going to do his.

2337
02:19:07,420 --> 02:19:10,060
I do want to do it because I did tell him a while back.

2338
02:19:10,060 --> 02:19:10,620
I'm going to do it.

2339
02:19:10,620 --> 02:19:11,420
I'm a man of my word.

2340
02:19:11,420 --> 02:19:12,300
So I'm going to do it.

2341
02:19:13,180 --> 02:19:16,540
But a bunch of people have asked independent ones.

2342
02:19:17,980 --> 02:19:22,380
I think back a while back, Randy wanted me to go on one of their podcasts with limitless stuff.

2343
02:19:22,380 --> 02:19:23,180
I never did it.

2344
02:19:23,740 --> 02:19:26,700
I just didn't work out time wise because I was busy with DJing so much.

2345
02:19:27,980 --> 02:19:29,180
So I'm on how to do them.

2346
02:19:29,180 --> 02:19:34,060
It's just for me, it's hard for me because I work nights and most podcasts are when

2347
02:19:38,060 --> 02:19:38,620
I cannot.

2348
02:19:39,500 --> 02:19:45,580
The podcasts, I'm doing them for free, but like my day job being a DJ, I get $100 an hour.

2349
02:19:45,580 --> 02:19:50,860
So I can't constitute throwing that money down the tubes when I write exactly

2350
02:19:51,420 --> 02:19:53,980
every podcast I love and I'm trying to be rude.

2351
02:19:53,980 --> 02:19:56,540
I just know my family.

2352
02:19:56,540 --> 02:20:00,700
You also want to keep me running like hosting events like Ring Wars three.

2353
02:20:01,820 --> 02:20:02,940
I got to pay for it somehow.

2354
02:20:02,940 --> 02:20:03,500
You know what I mean?

2355
02:20:04,140 --> 02:20:09,500
And that's all people assume that like I've learned from my to me.

2356
02:20:09,500 --> 02:20:14,220
I don't mind if I break even, but if I lose money hosting events, I don't for wrestling.

2357
02:20:14,220 --> 02:20:15,500
I don't have, I won't do them.

2358
02:20:16,060 --> 02:20:20,140
It's just, it's not so I lost so much money from my to be from like TV perspective.

2359
02:20:20,140 --> 02:20:22,140
That's why I said the one thing I regret was TV because

2360
02:20:22,140 --> 02:20:26,620
I can't get money for that back. I could tell you what.

2361
02:20:26,620 --> 02:20:26,940
Right.

2362
02:20:26,940 --> 02:20:28,540
I did two rounds of that.

2363
02:20:29,420 --> 02:20:30,300
Two runs of TV.

2364
02:20:30,300 --> 02:20:34,300
The second one was more expensive than the first run, but we never got into that.

2365
02:20:34,300 --> 02:20:37,580
But like at the station on the second one was going to look up.

2366
02:20:37,580 --> 02:20:39,740
Usually be like, oh, I'm on TV.

2367
02:20:39,740 --> 02:20:40,700
We're like, what the hell?

2368
02:20:41,820 --> 02:20:42,380
Yeah.

2369
02:20:42,380 --> 02:20:46,780
Now Saturday is a noon on Fox 22 was the slogan for the longest time.

2370
02:20:46,780 --> 02:20:49,420
So people remember it, dude.

2371
02:20:49,420 --> 02:20:52,940
Like I didn't realize how many people remember that stuff for, for missile.

2372
02:20:52,940 --> 02:20:57,580
How long we ran, like we were, we were in that we were Saturday afternoon wrestling.

2373
02:20:57,580 --> 02:20:59,740
We literally were part of people's childhoods.

2374
02:21:00,300 --> 02:21:07,180
So, um, and if you ask Mike Turner from MEW, that's how he remembers me.

2375
02:21:07,180 --> 02:21:12,140
He remember watching me from I to B TV and then to be on fire.

2376
02:21:12,940 --> 02:21:14,300
And that's how he remembers me.

2377
02:21:14,300 --> 02:21:16,780
And that's how he still, that's why he, he has this thing.

2378
02:21:16,780 --> 02:21:18,300
Or he wants me to do one time.

2379
02:21:18,300 --> 02:21:21,340
For MEW, he wants me to be jiving Jimmy one time.

2380
02:21:22,700 --> 02:21:26,940
Are you going to have you do it one time?

2381
02:21:26,940 --> 02:21:29,580
I'm like, I'm going to try to do $500 to do it.

2382
02:21:29,580 --> 02:21:30,380
He's like, I don't care.

2383
02:21:30,380 --> 02:21:31,420
I'm going to do it.

2384
02:21:31,420 --> 02:21:32,140
I'm going to do it.

2385
02:21:32,140 --> 02:21:37,340
The music, the disco, the awesome.

2386
02:21:37,340 --> 02:21:38,700
It was a, it was a jam.

2387
02:21:38,700 --> 02:21:42,300
Jiving Jimmy, the rain there's also a story of why I stopped doing it.

2388
02:21:42,300 --> 02:21:45,180
It was that's a whole nother story that one of the can of worms.

2389
02:21:45,180 --> 02:21:46,780
I mean, I'll tell it if you want me to, but.

2390
02:21:46,780 --> 02:21:48,460
That's a whole nother story.

2391
02:21:48,460 --> 02:21:50,540
Why they jiving Jimmy was a thing.

2392
02:21:50,540 --> 02:21:51,340
People loved it.

2393
02:21:51,340 --> 02:21:51,900
Maybe it was.

2394
02:21:51,900 --> 02:21:59,020
If I, if I, if I stuck with it, maybe I could have done some with it.

2395
02:21:59,020 --> 02:22:01,820
The reason why I didn't was I thought someone was literally doing the gimmick.

2396
02:22:02,780 --> 02:22:04,380
That I, I was meant to do.

2397
02:22:04,380 --> 02:22:05,260
I thought meant to do.

2398
02:22:05,260 --> 02:22:07,420
So that's the short end of the stick.

2399
02:22:07,420 --> 02:22:10,460
This the long end, I'll try to sum it up quickly for you.

2400
02:22:10,460 --> 02:22:11,820
So you guys can at least hear the story.

2401
02:22:11,820 --> 02:22:12,380
Okay.

2402
02:22:12,380 --> 02:22:13,820
I was working for on fire.

2403
02:22:13,820 --> 02:22:14,780
I was their TV champ.

2404
02:22:14,780 --> 02:22:19,900
As I told her earlier and the Savoldis used to be connected to the WB back in the day.

2405
02:22:19,900 --> 02:22:21,900
I'm hoping I'm getting all that.

2406
02:22:21,900 --> 02:22:28,140
And what had happened was around the time, a little individual was coming on TV called

2407
02:22:28,140 --> 02:22:29,340
Brody's clay.

2408
02:22:29,340 --> 02:22:32,060
So I kind of put this two and two together.

2409
02:22:32,060 --> 02:22:33,820
I did some work and I did some math.

2410
02:22:33,820 --> 02:22:39,820
So what had happened was the Savoldis, I got it up and they were, I was getting asked to

2411
02:22:39,820 --> 02:22:46,380
about, I guess, I don't know what the deeds were.

2412
02:22:46,380 --> 02:22:48,380
They didn't really give me full details.

2413
02:22:48,380 --> 02:22:51,340
And then they referred and they referred to call the Tony and then Tony took the call

2414
02:22:51,340 --> 02:22:53,900
and called and then Tony told me about it.

2415
02:22:53,900 --> 02:22:55,420
What he remembers of it.

2416
02:22:55,420 --> 02:22:58,860
They were asking funny questions like who trained me, how long I've been in the business,

2417
02:22:58,860 --> 02:23:04,860
how big I was like, you know, all that fun stuff like how tall, how much I was, how tall

2418
02:23:04,860 --> 02:23:11,420
I was like, you know, all that fun stuff like how tall, how much I weigh.

2419
02:23:11,420 --> 02:23:14,860
They were asking a bunch of questions just to see because back in this time frame, like

2420
02:23:14,860 --> 02:23:18,380
I said, like there was no viral shit.

2421
02:23:18,380 --> 02:23:23,420
You knew people from a someone who vouched for somebody or they see the work and then

2422
02:23:23,420 --> 02:23:26,700
they get a hold of you from so and so that no so and so that no so and so.

2423
02:23:26,700 --> 02:23:29,020
It was one of those situations.

2424
02:23:29,020 --> 02:23:34,140
And so the Savoldis got the call first from them and then they called Tony.

2425
02:23:34,140 --> 02:23:37,980
And I never heard anything about it.

2426
02:23:37,980 --> 02:23:41,660
After that, Clay showed up on TV.

2427
02:23:41,660 --> 02:23:46,660
So I took a call myself to stop me and Jimmie, which is right around the time that program

2428
02:23:46,660 --> 02:23:49,420
with Sarah DiErico happened where she took my name rights.

2429
02:23:49,420 --> 02:23:52,460
I did it on purpose to get out of it.

2430
02:23:52,460 --> 02:23:57,220
But also, like he literally would come out with the disco ball, which I used to do.

2431
02:23:57,220 --> 02:24:01,500
I used to bring the disco ball to the events and have the disco ball up and out of the

2432
02:24:01,500 --> 02:24:08,700
disco ball, same, same music style, same outfit where I wore the ring pretty much.

2433
02:24:08,700 --> 02:24:13,820
It's his looks better because it's from the know to be, you know, that's why I stopped

2434
02:24:13,820 --> 02:24:16,020
and I probably should not.

2435
02:24:16,020 --> 02:24:22,100
But I thought, you know, since they called Savoldis and they called Tony and they didn't

2436
02:24:22,100 --> 02:24:26,020
like what they heard, they weren't interested.

2437
02:24:26,020 --> 02:24:31,420
And that kind of makes you not make kind of tells you like you wasted your time.

2438
02:24:31,420 --> 02:24:37,020
Instead of instead, I should have kept going with it because I've been driving Jimmy the

2439
02:24:37,020 --> 02:24:38,020
whole time.

2440
02:24:38,020 --> 02:24:39,020
Yeah.

2441
02:24:39,020 --> 02:24:40,020
Yeah.

2442
02:24:40,020 --> 02:24:46,140
So that's a sad story.

2443
02:24:46,140 --> 02:24:48,980
Sad part is you're not the only one that store we have.

2444
02:24:48,980 --> 02:24:55,660
We all know somebody else that, you know, feels like their gimmick was used within besides

2445
02:24:55,660 --> 02:24:57,300
having them being used.

2446
02:24:57,300 --> 02:25:03,020
That's the thing of the world, unless you unless you copyrighted LLC, it do all that

2447
02:25:03,020 --> 02:25:07,300
stuff and own it and some stuff you can't do that to wrestling moves.

2448
02:25:07,300 --> 02:25:13,260
I can't I can't copyright a move and copy the name of it by improve it by King, copyright

2449
02:25:13,260 --> 02:25:14,260
the move.

2450
02:25:14,260 --> 02:25:15,260
Right.

2451
02:25:15,260 --> 02:25:18,340
Apparently you can copyright, call throwing pokeballs.

2452
02:25:18,340 --> 02:25:19,780
Fucking power find that out.

2453
02:25:19,780 --> 02:25:20,780
But yeah, yeah.

2454
02:25:20,780 --> 02:25:21,780
Yeah.

2455
02:25:21,780 --> 02:25:23,780
Because it's their intellectual property.

2456
02:25:23,780 --> 02:25:25,540
It's similar to their intellectual property.

2457
02:25:25,540 --> 02:25:26,540
That's why they.

2458
02:25:26,540 --> 02:25:28,900
I've seen some I've studied criminal justice and constitutional law.

2459
02:25:28,900 --> 02:25:30,700
So like that type of stuff.

2460
02:25:30,700 --> 02:25:35,660
It was similar to an intellectual property to the point where it's so similar that there's

2461
02:25:35,660 --> 02:25:37,780
no discrepancy, which pretty much it is.

2462
02:25:37,780 --> 02:25:38,780
I guess so.

2463
02:25:38,780 --> 02:25:41,020
It's up to a court of law to decide.

2464
02:25:41,020 --> 02:25:43,500
But like you can if it's similar to someone's intellectual property.

2465
02:25:43,500 --> 02:25:44,500
Yeah.

2466
02:25:44,500 --> 02:25:54,580
So like like if I if you know how well, so has the eat thing.

2467
02:25:54,580 --> 02:25:55,740
Yeah.

2468
02:25:55,740 --> 02:25:58,580
So if I decide, yeah, but it's all things you eat, right?

2469
02:25:58,580 --> 02:25:59,580
Yeah.

2470
02:25:59,580 --> 02:26:01,260
So I decided to do something called Ye without the T.

2471
02:26:01,260 --> 02:26:02,260
Ye.

2472
02:26:02,260 --> 02:26:03,260
Ye.

2473
02:26:03,260 --> 02:26:04,260
Ye.

2474
02:26:04,260 --> 02:26:05,260
Ye.

2475
02:26:05,260 --> 02:26:06,260
Ye.

2476
02:26:06,260 --> 02:26:09,140
Yeah, they ain't gonna fly because he owns that shit.

2477
02:26:09,140 --> 02:26:10,140
He owns the company.

2478
02:26:10,140 --> 02:26:12,860
He might not get to be the right special.

2479
02:26:12,860 --> 02:26:14,700
It's a similar intellectual property.

2480
02:26:14,700 --> 02:26:15,980
I can't do that.

2481
02:26:15,980 --> 02:26:18,260
So that would get me in trouble.

2482
02:26:18,260 --> 02:26:24,860
You know, if I do anything like anything that's challenging, like Trublitz was the game.

2483
02:26:24,860 --> 02:26:34,980
And I did something like the game on the other because like that's why I like I like I just

2484
02:26:34,980 --> 02:26:35,980
about saying it was a game.

2485
02:26:35,980 --> 02:26:38,980
I'm like, that's close, man.

2486
02:26:38,980 --> 02:26:40,620
You got to be careful.

2487
02:26:40,620 --> 02:26:43,220
Like I'm sure Trublitz doesn't care at this point because he's not really wrestling anymore.

2488
02:26:43,220 --> 02:26:48,740
But like you don't want to do anything that's going to get you sued.

2489
02:26:48,740 --> 02:26:49,740
Right.

2490
02:26:49,740 --> 02:27:07,800
Why entirely true, John?

2491
02:27:07,800 --> 02:27:21,620
the

2492
02:27:21,620 --> 02:27:35,720
,

2493
02:27:35,720 --> 02:27:45,200
the

2494
02:27:45,200 --> 02:27:47,760
These kids are the problem with anything like that.

2495
02:27:47,760 --> 02:27:49,520
Like you're going to get in trouble.

2496
02:27:49,520 --> 02:27:52,660
So it doesn't matter what I got to cease and desist once.

2497
02:27:54,000 --> 02:27:58,700
I had this really high grade Spider-Man outfit

2498
02:27:59,160 --> 02:28:03,340
that had Frankie Flashbear to do like birthday parties and stuff back when a DJ

2499
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:06,200
and then I had him wrestling in a couple of times.

2500
02:28:07,040 --> 02:28:08,840
And kids love he literally

2501
02:28:08,840 --> 02:28:11,120
we did a show in Palmyra, Maine at the Palm Our Community Center

2502
02:28:11,120 --> 02:28:12,240
when that was still open.

2503
02:28:12,240 --> 02:28:13,220
So I don't think it's open anymore.

2504
02:28:13,220 --> 02:28:19,780
more and Tony was on the show and I have Frankie for Josh like dressed up as Spider-Man there

2505
02:28:19,780 --> 02:28:26,220
was a line of literally 50 to 60 people to get pictures of autographs with Spider-Man

2506
02:28:26,220 --> 02:28:33,300
because the outfit was legit right but yet Tony had nobody because everybody was getting

2507
02:28:33,300 --> 02:28:37,140
pictures with Spider-Man he got mad at me so I put him on the Tony got mad at me for

2508
02:28:37,140 --> 02:28:40,900
putting him on the show with spider-man like I'm not gonna beat the spider-man or I'm sorry

2509
02:28:40,900 --> 02:28:49,100
Tony I'm not gonna beat what's not a man I'm sorry but I had to stop doing it because Marvel

2510
02:28:49,100 --> 02:28:55,100
comics right around the time just about the new Spider-Man movie I had to stop because

2511
02:28:55,100 --> 02:29:01,580
he sent me a secret assist letter I was always afraid of all the time I didn't use all time

2512
02:29:01,580 --> 02:29:07,100
just select child events a fundraiser I'll help the fundraiser make some money and kids

2513
02:29:07,100 --> 02:29:12,060
it's kids so it's out of school yeah stuff like that my community center was an old school

2514
02:29:12,060 --> 02:29:17,260
I was like I was gonna be a lot of kids yeah but I literally went to it we did a show at

2515
02:29:17,260 --> 02:29:23,300
a mall I'm a grass cow I was like you know I'll bring Spider-Man up and even this this

2516
02:29:23,300 --> 02:29:27,060
letter came in the mail I was like great and I think someone from the mall threw me into

2517
02:29:27,060 --> 02:29:32,060
the bus I was like you're like so you know I had a bunch of kids there I had Spider-Man

2518
02:29:32,060 --> 02:29:37,940
do the autograph signing but I didn't let him wrestle because you don't want to get

2519
02:29:37,940 --> 02:29:41,500
in trouble I didn't sell anything either spider-man related I was like now you can I literally

2520
02:29:41,500 --> 02:29:45,780
look it was happening give away pictures because I just wanted to get rid of so this way they

2521
02:29:45,780 --> 02:29:49,500
couldn't say we're making money out but yeah I'm sorry pictures give away free to kids

2522
02:29:49,500 --> 02:29:53,460
shockwave the robos on the show I assume the kids are gonna show us in the mall right there's

2523
02:29:53,460 --> 02:30:00,580
a woman's match or shockwave there's spider-man there's a bunch of gives a bunch of bunch

2524
02:30:00,580 --> 02:30:04,980
gimmicky stuff just for kids and then that's the thing like that's missing in wrestling

2525
02:30:04,980 --> 02:30:08,340
now there's not if you if you had some wrestling stuff it's like I know there's some cosplay

2526
02:30:08,340 --> 02:30:12,220
wrestling which is great that needs to happen because it needs to have that for kids but

2527
02:30:12,220 --> 02:30:17,580
there's different types of adult wrestling which is like the stuff that JP likes over

2528
02:30:17,580 --> 02:30:24,700
here like deathmatchy stuff and then there's kid stuff that is sometimes funny and entertaining

2529
02:30:24,700 --> 02:30:31,660
some of us adults but we know it's for kids we technically can't even say legos and yeah

2530
02:30:31,660 --> 02:30:37,420
it's building blocks telling one can promote a lego match so it has to be building blocks

2531
02:30:37,420 --> 02:30:44,700
because they you know what I mean stop it I know what you're saying but you know I'm

2532
02:30:44,700 --> 02:30:49,540
saying that's why there's the yeah it's even right now in wrestling this there's AEW to

2533
02:30:49,540 --> 02:30:54,820
W to be it's different yeah because at a W's I feel like like there would be some really

2534
02:30:54,820 --> 02:30:59,020
great shit though like I've watched their two Netflix episodes and all their matches

2535
02:30:59,020 --> 02:31:02,860
yeah but like there's only like five matches I'm like yeah but they're highly competitive

2536
02:31:02,860 --> 02:31:07,840
yeah paper style matches because they're treating it like these these Netflix specials or pay

2537
02:31:07,840 --> 02:31:11,360
reviews I'm sure it's gonna drop off eventually but they're doing it on purpose so that makes

2538
02:31:11,360 --> 02:31:16,220
it built up right and eventually they're gonna add more matches it'll be shorter matches

2539
02:31:16,220 --> 02:31:20,140
won't be as good quality they're doing that on purpose to set the bar high and then they're

2540
02:31:20,140 --> 02:31:24,620
gonna bring it down and bring it back up again right but he definitely was mostly competitive

2541
02:31:24,620 --> 02:31:31,060
wrestler so that's their niche why don't have it but they're gonna be is doing payment

2542
02:31:31,060 --> 02:31:34,060
equality and they're gonna bring it more more and more entertainment slow it down bring

2543
02:31:34,060 --> 02:31:41,460
it back up again like they also have NXT which is also competitive comparative to AEW as well

2544
02:31:41,460 --> 02:31:46,460
I just sat here and watched SmackDown the whole while during the podcast and they had

2545
02:31:46,460 --> 02:31:50,900
plenty of matches on SmackDown three hours there was more matches than anything else

2546
02:31:50,900 --> 02:31:55,660
which is good right well it's just different cups of tea to fit to the market you know

2547
02:31:55,660 --> 02:32:01,980
that WWE is on Netflix are committing their higher larger a lot larger market for them

2548
02:32:01,980 --> 02:32:08,900
how to fly it's like are we looking up like how are you alive what the fuck it's not JP

2549
02:32:08,900 --> 02:32:23,680
少年

2550
02:32:23,680 --> 02:32:37,140
if

2551
02:32:37,140 --> 02:32:55,640
mother

2552
02:32:55,640 --> 02:32:57,840
,

2553
02:32:57,840 --> 02:33:17,980
Ha ha ha ha ha showing

2554
02:33:17,980 --> 02:33:26,660
it

2555
02:33:26,660 --> 02:33:40,040
right

2556
02:33:40,040 --> 02:34:00,140
therefore the

2557
02:34:00,140 --> 02:34:05,140
score

2558
02:34:05,140 --> 02:34:10,100
I want to know. He wants to know. So when he first started wrestling,

2559
02:34:11,140 --> 02:34:21,700
it took him like a while to learn how to pump. He couldn't figure he did eventually learn.

2560
02:34:22,580 --> 02:34:28,980
He couldn't figure it out. Eventually he moved away back to New Hampshire area. He was going to

2561
02:34:28,980 --> 02:34:33,860
New England pro wrestling Academy and he went down there for a couple months and then he came back

2562
02:34:33,860 --> 02:34:39,220
to Maine and I'm like, Oh, what happened? He's like, I moved back to Maine and I couldn't like

2563
02:34:39,220 --> 02:34:44,420
New Hampshire. I want you to, I want you to train me and teach them. All right. Fine. Fine. So I taught

2564
02:34:44,420 --> 02:34:58,020
them a payment plan and let me train. I started with Eric didn't get anywhere with it. Went to

2565
02:34:58,020 --> 02:35:06,260
New England pro learned while still living in New Hampshire. Eventually Eric saw that I could

2566
02:35:06,260 --> 02:35:16,100
actually bump and find no, no, no, he came back. He came back and he was bumping better than he was.

2567
02:35:16,100 --> 02:35:20,740
He still wasn't doing very well and we had to clean it up a bit. And I said, well, you're at

2568
02:35:20,740 --> 02:35:28,180
the time he was, he's tall. He's a tall kid. He was a lot. I'm so the same. I was just about two.

2569
02:35:29,140 --> 02:35:34,500
So I was like, you need to bump like a big guy. And because I'm a big guy, I showed him some sneaky

2570
02:35:34,500 --> 02:35:39,460
peak ways to bump like a big guy, which is like, you've got to go like throw your feet to the

2571
02:35:39,460 --> 02:35:43,860
ceiling. Cause like, what do you mean? I thought you're trying to walk on the ceiling. So, and then

2572
02:35:43,860 --> 02:35:48,900
he learned how to bump, but because he didn't learn how to bump for like over a year, we used

2573
02:35:48,900 --> 02:36:00,500
to call him shit bump. It was a clever coin, a phrase. Everybody had a nickname, like Lee Miller.

2574
02:36:00,500 --> 02:36:05,380
I called him no. Every time I saw me doing something wrong, I just yell and go, no.

2575
02:36:05,380 --> 02:36:12,420
And it was just more common than anyone else. Hey, in Angro, I called him eggs. See he, I don't

2576
02:36:12,420 --> 02:36:15,620
know why, but every day of a wrestling show, he was always eating eggs before he came to show.

2577
02:36:15,620 --> 02:36:19,380
I'm like, why would you eat eggs before a wrestling show? So I just call them eggs. I know which

2578
02:36:19,380 --> 02:36:24,100
one's coming. So no, we're going to stop that because I know you're just getting late, but

2579
02:36:24,100 --> 02:36:29,140
we got in shape because for over a year he couldn't bump right. And it was just a point of phrase

2580
02:36:29,140 --> 02:36:32,660
because like I just bump on a piece of shit, it's called a ship bump. You should pump and you

2581
02:36:32,660 --> 02:36:39,060
could bump like shit. It was a point of phrase, quite a phrase. Anyway, eventually we got rid

2582
02:36:39,060 --> 02:36:43,620
of nicknames once they got on and actually built their own wrestling character, which he used to

2583
02:36:43,620 --> 02:36:51,460
be called for his JP or he was John Paul O'Reilly. My middle name origin. And the first time that

2584
02:36:51,460 --> 02:36:57,380
was ever announced, I looked at Randy after, after the first time. And I said, please do not ever

2585
02:36:57,380 --> 02:37:03,140
announce is that ever again, just JP we're sticking with that. All right. You've been out

2586
02:37:03,140 --> 02:37:07,780
everywhere that sense. And then we call him JP now or O'Reilly. I don't call him ship bump anymore

2587
02:37:07,780 --> 02:37:12,100
until the stories come out and then I have to tell him the stories. Yeah. Now he didn't learn

2588
02:37:12,100 --> 02:37:15,300
how to bump while he was down there. When he came back up, I had to show him the little tricky

2589
02:37:15,300 --> 02:37:18,100
tricks of the straight. Now he remembers these like the feet to the ceiling.

2590
02:37:20,500 --> 02:37:25,780
Actually carried on to new England pro because yeah, I never told Eric, you probably don't even

2591
02:37:25,780 --> 02:37:32,020
know this story sitting in class one day. And it was the first time that ACE had come in to start

2592
02:37:34,020 --> 02:37:40,260
he walks in, he sees me out of everybody. And this is in front of Christian Casanova,

2593
02:37:40,260 --> 02:37:49,540
cams, the Gummy, Josh Briggs, um, uh, names, names, uh, war beard, uh, uh, names. And he just looks

2594
02:37:49,540 --> 02:37:50,180
to me and goes,

2595
02:37:52,580 --> 02:38:08,900
I was like, no, sorry. I feel 2015 or like 2014, 15. Yeah. I was like, no, you can't say that here

2596
02:38:08,900 --> 02:38:14,340
because I had already developed a nickname there. And then once people figured the other nickname

2597
02:38:14,340 --> 02:38:15,460
out, it all of a sudden,

2598
02:38:17,220 --> 02:38:21,220
call them ship bump because he bumped like shit, but also it's a bump on a turd called a ship bump.

2599
02:38:23,300 --> 02:38:27,060
Everybody back in the day had a nickname, even Mark moment. He had, he had one, he was called

2600
02:38:27,860 --> 02:38:30,500
big, he was called them because he always had a sour look on his face.

2601
02:38:32,340 --> 02:38:32,820
Um,

2602
02:38:32,820 --> 02:38:41,540
um, big cat, big cat, just various.

2603
02:38:44,100 --> 02:38:49,140
Got all excited. He got so excited. Yeah. I was trying to get off of them. He had, we had a good

2604
02:38:49,140 --> 02:38:54,020
number, but the fact, I never knew that that makes sense. So that cause ACE, when he was doing,

2605
02:38:54,020 --> 02:38:58,420
when he got done with super Lucha, he was working for me all the time and training with me a little

2606
02:38:58,420 --> 02:39:03,540
bit too. And he was, him and graves were traveling together all the time going back and forth.

2607
02:39:04,980 --> 02:39:10,740
I used to drive ACE randomly sometimes at brewery shows, uh, and Island falls from random time,

2608
02:39:10,740 --> 02:39:15,220
time back in 2014. Yeah. So that makes a lot of sense because he would,

2609
02:39:15,220 --> 02:39:18,340
him and Graves would travel back and forth and go down there a couple of times. And that makes

2610
02:39:18,340 --> 02:39:20,900
sense that he said that down there and called you ship bump. And that's

2611
02:39:20,900 --> 02:39:27,860
the first thing he called me. He'd literally from across the room said it, but I, but I

2612
02:39:27,860 --> 02:39:32,660
tried to pretend that it wasn't like, I wasn't paying attention. I'd be like, please don't,

2613
02:39:32,660 --> 02:39:39,780
like, please. I remember this because when you came back, I hit up fury to see how much work

2614
02:39:39,780 --> 02:39:46,660
you were putting in down there. And he called you ship bump in the text message. I remember this now.

2615
02:39:46,660 --> 02:39:51,700
Yeah. I'm so sorry, but I'm so sorry. That was terrible.

2616
02:39:51,700 --> 02:39:57,060
I didn't stick with that though. The motto didn't really like the name, which is funny.

2617
02:39:58,420 --> 02:40:02,180
No, once you see everybody grows out of their nicknames, like no one calls

2618
02:40:02,180 --> 02:40:03,700
moment, lemon head anymore. They always call them.

2619
02:40:06,500 --> 02:40:12,420
Cause that's what he knew him. That was the story. Right. I'm calling, no, you know,

2620
02:40:12,420 --> 02:40:18,900
now the like people have got their nickname in the grow out. Once you get your work name,

2621
02:40:19,620 --> 02:40:21,620
it's just part, it was part of the biz back in the day.

2622
02:40:25,220 --> 02:40:31,700
Remember Corey Cox? Yeah, I was going to, I was thinking, do I say that one? What?

2623
02:40:32,420 --> 02:40:35,940
I was like, should we say that one? It was funny.

2624
02:40:35,940 --> 02:40:41,300
We call them smelly because his last name was Cox smelly Cox, but he actually was smelly.

2625
02:40:41,300 --> 02:40:46,500
So it was very fitting. Well, it was, it was just that he understood it. Like it was

2626
02:40:47,060 --> 02:40:50,100
someone with named strap on. I can't remember who his name strap. Cause every time I turned

2627
02:40:50,100 --> 02:40:53,860
around there putting the undercarriage on or the straps, like T bar straps in the ring.

2628
02:40:53,860 --> 02:41:00,900
I can't remember. It was Amber. Oh my God. Yeah. It was Amber. That's terrible.

2629
02:41:00,900 --> 02:41:05,220
See back in the day, it was just, it was in-house joking now, like everybody knew it was all,

2630
02:41:05,220 --> 02:41:09,540
it was all in training. Like you never said that stuff outside of the.

2631
02:41:09,540 --> 02:41:15,460
No, like when I was called, I was called, uh, cause I was wrestling as Eric Atlas at one point

2632
02:41:15,460 --> 02:41:18,740
in my career and they were called, you should call me fatless. I was like,

2633
02:41:18,740 --> 02:41:22,260
does that supposed to be an insult because I'm fatless.

2634
02:41:22,260 --> 02:41:26,260
I feel like calling big cat, big fat. Like it would be terrible.

2635
02:41:28,260 --> 02:41:32,020
The fact that you've been taking two of these shit.

2636
02:41:32,020 --> 02:41:38,260
I can't do that anymore. I lost 30 pounds.

2637
02:41:38,260 --> 02:41:42,260
I'm jiggle. I have this loose, I've been losing weight and I have like the loose skin.

2638
02:41:42,260 --> 02:41:46,260
So I'm like, I'm going to lose weight. I'm going to lose weight.

2639
02:41:46,260 --> 02:41:50,260
I'm going to lose weight. I'm going to lose weight.

2640
02:41:50,260 --> 02:41:52,260
I'm going to lose weight. I'm going to lose weight. I'm going to lose weight.

2641
02:41:52,260 --> 02:41:54,260
So I just, that's what I'm happy. I wear the same thing.

2642
02:41:54,260 --> 02:41:58,260
So they're really tight. So you don't, so if I don't, if I take a bump,

2643
02:41:58,260 --> 02:42:00,260
my shit don't keep jiggling afterwards.

2644
02:42:02,260 --> 02:42:04,260
So moving, he's, he's supposed to be selling.

2645
02:42:04,260 --> 02:42:06,260
I mean, I think he is just his fat keeps just.

2646
02:42:08,260 --> 02:42:10,260
He hasn't reached the end of his body.

2647
02:42:10,260 --> 02:42:14,260
I'm a big guy. I can even f**k myself. I don't give a s**t.

2648
02:42:14,260 --> 02:42:20,180
So once you're wearing spandex, you're mostly 90% naked in front of people.

2649
02:42:20,180 --> 02:42:24,100
It doesn't, there's no shame. Like, you know, like, ah, this doesn't leave much

2650
02:42:24,100 --> 02:42:28,100
to the imagination. Looks like I'm smuggling grapes here in my single.

2651
02:42:31,100 --> 02:42:34,100
It doesn't, it's not flattering to be a fat guy and wrestling.

2652
02:42:34,100 --> 02:42:38,820
I mean, you know, I know I feel when I have no shame, you know, I've DJed everywhere,

2653
02:42:38,820 --> 02:42:41,300
including, you know, strip club before time.

2654
02:42:41,300 --> 02:42:43,700
And you see a lot of things.

2655
02:42:43,700 --> 02:42:47,700
Maybe Eric Johnson interview part two should be strip club stories.

2656
02:42:49,700 --> 02:42:53,700
We should, part two interview should be strip club stories.

2657
02:42:53,700 --> 02:42:55,700
Oh yes, definitely. 100%.

2658
02:42:57,700 --> 02:43:01,700
My lanta. I would, I stopped drinking at the wrong time.

2659
02:43:01,700 --> 02:43:05,700
I don't drink anymore. I would smoke. I'm trying to be healthy. I'm getting old. I'm almost 40.

2660
02:43:05,700 --> 02:43:09,700
So there was a lot of stupid things I've seen in my time.

2661
02:43:09,700 --> 02:43:12,700
Well, I've decided that the word and we're not going to do news tonight.

2662
02:43:12,700 --> 02:43:15,700
We'll do if you're up to a JP, we'll do news tomorrow.

2663
02:43:15,700 --> 02:43:16,700
That's fine.

2664
02:43:16,700 --> 02:43:20,700
Because I have to go to work in three hours.

2665
02:43:20,700 --> 02:43:25,700
So that's why it's this long and that's fine.

2666
02:43:25,700 --> 02:43:27,700
It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

2667
02:43:27,700 --> 02:43:29,700
That's why I'm like, fuck the news.

2668
02:43:29,700 --> 02:43:31,700
This is only like scratching the surface.

2669
02:43:31,700 --> 02:43:33,700
That's why JP was all excited.

2670
02:43:33,700 --> 02:43:35,700
I have so many good stories.

2671
02:43:35,700 --> 02:43:43,700
I know. So while we will do this, everybody who's watching, we will be back tomorrow to do news live.

2672
02:43:43,700 --> 02:43:45,700
So that will also be on the news.

2673
02:43:45,700 --> 02:43:49,700
The king is here. They're lying to you, peoples.

2674
02:43:49,700 --> 02:43:51,700
Listen, my brother caught. They are lying to you.

2675
02:43:51,700 --> 02:43:53,700
They're not going to be back tomorrow.

2676
02:43:53,700 --> 02:43:55,700
They're a bunch of lying assholes.

2677
02:43:55,700 --> 02:43:59,700
If we have to, we'll be, yeah, they're lying to you.

2678
02:43:59,700 --> 02:44:01,700
They're not going to be back tomorrow.

2679
02:44:01,700 --> 02:44:03,700
They're a bunch of lying assholes.

2680
02:44:03,700 --> 02:44:05,700
Yeah.

2681
02:44:05,700 --> 02:44:07,700
Eric, thank you for the members.

2682
02:44:07,700 --> 02:44:09,700
All chances you get.

2683
02:44:09,700 --> 02:44:11,700
We are welcome, Kevin.

2684
02:44:11,700 --> 02:44:13,700
Kevin originally started as coach Beavis for me.

2685
02:44:13,700 --> 02:44:15,700
That was my pitch idea.

2686
02:44:15,700 --> 02:44:17,700
Team UK.

2687
02:44:17,700 --> 02:44:19,700
It's a lift on.

2688
02:44:19,700 --> 02:44:21,700
It's a great gimmick, dude. It's great.

2689
02:44:21,700 --> 02:44:23,700
So it's almost midnight.

2690
02:44:23,700 --> 02:44:25,700
Blow the whistle.

2691
02:44:25,700 --> 02:44:27,700
It's almost midnight.

2692
02:44:27,700 --> 02:44:29,700
So let's do this.

2693
02:44:29,700 --> 02:44:31,700
Let's end it with like the craziest DJ story.

2694
02:44:31,700 --> 02:44:33,700
That's strip club.

2695
02:44:33,700 --> 02:44:35,700
And then we'll call it a night and then we'll be back here tomorrow.

2696
02:44:35,700 --> 02:44:37,700
The area's one.

2697
02:44:37,700 --> 02:44:39,700
I'll give you a scary story.

2698
02:44:39,700 --> 02:44:41,700
It's a scary story.

2699
02:44:41,700 --> 02:44:43,700
We'll do that.

2700
02:44:43,700 --> 02:44:45,700
And then we'll be back here tomorrow for the news.

2701
02:44:45,700 --> 02:44:47,700
So there used to be a dancer, which is really sweet.

2702
02:44:47,700 --> 02:44:49,700
And she's always kept me very well.

2703
02:44:49,700 --> 02:44:51,700
For being the DJ, it's always cool lights and all the music she liked.

2704
02:44:51,700 --> 02:44:53,700
She was short.

2705
02:44:53,700 --> 02:44:55,700
That big posterior.

2706
02:44:55,700 --> 02:44:57,700
I'll say her dance name.

2707
02:44:57,700 --> 02:44:59,700
Not real name.

2708
02:44:59,700 --> 02:45:01,700
Her dance name was Violet.

2709
02:45:01,700 --> 02:45:03,700
And she was short.

2710
02:45:03,700 --> 02:45:05,700
Which built bigger girl.

2711
02:45:05,700 --> 02:45:07,700
But looked very nice.

2712
02:45:07,700 --> 02:45:09,700
She would climb the pole all the way to the top.

2713
02:45:09,700 --> 02:45:11,700
Flip upside down.

2714
02:45:11,700 --> 02:45:13,700
Be walking on the ceiling.

2715
02:45:13,700 --> 02:45:15,700
One time.

2716
02:45:15,700 --> 02:45:17,700
Mind you.

2717
02:45:17,700 --> 02:45:19,700
I don't know exactly the amount of feet.

2718
02:45:19,700 --> 02:45:21,700
From the pole.

2719
02:45:21,700 --> 02:45:23,700
On the stage.

2720
02:45:23,700 --> 02:45:25,700
To the top of the ceiling.

2721
02:45:25,700 --> 02:45:27,700
Probably a good...

2722
02:45:27,700 --> 02:45:29,700
12 to 15 feet.

2723
02:45:29,700 --> 02:45:31,700
Maybe more.

2724
02:45:31,700 --> 02:45:33,700
You've been in the club.

2725
02:45:33,700 --> 02:45:35,700
That club was months before.

2726
02:45:35,700 --> 02:45:37,700
How tall do you think the ceiling was?

2727
02:45:37,700 --> 02:45:39,700
That was a long time ago.

2728
02:45:39,700 --> 02:45:41,700
I've never been in a club.

2729
02:45:41,700 --> 02:45:43,700
We've been to that club before.

2730
02:45:43,700 --> 02:45:45,700
With Ben before.

2731
02:45:45,700 --> 02:45:47,700
So I don't remember.

2732
02:45:47,700 --> 02:45:49,700
It's like 15 feet.

2733
02:45:49,700 --> 02:45:51,700
Maybe a little bit more.

2734
02:45:51,700 --> 02:45:53,700
It's a tall room.

2735
02:45:53,700 --> 02:45:55,700
He was standing on the ceiling upside down.

2736
02:45:55,700 --> 02:45:57,700
And she was doing this little dance.

2737
02:45:57,700 --> 02:45:59,700
Completely upside down.

2738
02:45:59,700 --> 02:46:01,700
Feet on the ceiling.

2739
02:46:01,700 --> 02:46:03,700
She slipped.

2740
02:46:03,700 --> 02:46:05,700
And let go of the pole.

2741
02:46:05,700 --> 02:46:07,700
And fell.

2742
02:46:07,700 --> 02:46:09,700
I just saw her torpedo.

2743
02:46:09,700 --> 02:46:11,700
Toward the storage.

2744
02:46:11,700 --> 02:46:13,700
She catches it with her hands.

2745
02:46:13,700 --> 02:46:15,700
Swings around.

2746
02:46:15,700 --> 02:46:17,700
Last minute lands on her ass.

2747
02:46:17,700 --> 02:46:19,700
And she's laying...

2748
02:46:19,700 --> 02:46:21,700
And you hear this biggest loudest thunder clap.

2749
02:46:21,700 --> 02:46:23,700
And the whole club goes silent.

2750
02:46:23,700 --> 02:46:25,700
Mind you, my music's blaring.

2751
02:46:25,700 --> 02:46:27,700
Last...

2752
02:46:27,700 --> 02:46:29,700
Everybody stops and looks at the stage.

2753
02:46:29,700 --> 02:46:31,700
She's just quiet.

2754
02:46:31,700 --> 02:46:33,700
I stand up in the booth.

2755
02:46:33,700 --> 02:46:35,700
I'm level with the stages.

2756
02:46:35,700 --> 02:46:37,700
But I'm above it.

2757
02:46:37,700 --> 02:46:39,700
So I'm seeing down across the room.

2758
02:46:39,700 --> 02:46:41,700
I'm waving my hands.

2759
02:46:41,700 --> 02:46:43,700
I'm like thumbs up, thumbs down.

2760
02:46:43,700 --> 02:46:45,700
Making sure she's okay.

2761
02:46:45,700 --> 02:46:47,700
And most of the girls will give you a thumbs up or thumbs down.

2762
02:46:47,700 --> 02:46:49,700
They're not okay.

2763
02:46:49,700 --> 02:46:51,700
She puts her hands up like, stop.

2764
02:46:51,700 --> 02:46:53,700
She sat there.

2765
02:46:53,700 --> 02:46:55,700
She turned and used her pole to stand up.

2766
02:46:55,700 --> 02:46:57,700
And then she put her thumbs up at me.

2767
02:46:57,700 --> 02:46:59,700
And I'm like, oh.

2768
02:46:59,700 --> 02:47:01,700
I thought she broke her hip.

2769
02:47:01,700 --> 02:47:03,700
She fell.

2770
02:47:03,700 --> 02:47:05,700
She fell.

2771
02:47:05,700 --> 02:47:07,700
She fell.

2772
02:47:07,700 --> 02:47:09,700
I was like, oh.

2773
02:47:09,700 --> 02:47:11,700
She hadn't grabbed that pole with her hands.

2774
02:47:11,700 --> 02:47:13,700
Last minute and swung around and landed on her ass.

2775
02:47:13,700 --> 02:47:15,700
Choop and dead.

2776
02:47:15,700 --> 02:47:17,700
Yeah.

2777
02:47:17,700 --> 02:47:19,700
100%.

2778
02:47:19,700 --> 02:47:21,700
After that, I went and took it.

2779
02:47:21,700 --> 02:47:23,700
Back when I was back way long years ago.

2780
02:47:23,700 --> 02:47:25,700
I went and took a shot.

2781
02:47:25,700 --> 02:47:27,700
I went and got a shot.

2782
02:47:27,700 --> 02:47:29,700
Scosh went back in the booth and I was just like, oh.

2783
02:47:29,700 --> 02:47:31,700
I would have bought her a shot.

2784
02:47:31,700 --> 02:47:33,700
And I had to keep going.

2785
02:47:33,700 --> 02:47:35,700
So she got off stage.

2786
02:47:35,700 --> 02:47:37,700
But I let that song play through.

2787
02:47:37,700 --> 02:47:39,700
Because every girl usually dances for two to three songs.

2788
02:47:39,700 --> 02:47:41,700
And I let her whole set play through.

2789
02:47:41,700 --> 02:47:43,700
Because I went and got a shot.

2790
02:47:43,700 --> 02:47:45,700
I went back up there.

2791
02:47:45,700 --> 02:47:47,700
And then once her songs got done, I put the next girl back up on the stage.

2792
02:47:47,700 --> 02:47:49,700
Because it was like quiet.

2793
02:47:49,700 --> 02:47:51,700
In that club other than the music blaring.

2794
02:47:51,700 --> 02:47:53,700
Like you could, I could, I could.

2795
02:47:53,700 --> 02:47:55,700
You could hear someone cough.

2796
02:47:55,700 --> 02:47:57,700
It was scary.

2797
02:47:57,700 --> 02:47:59,700
There's some scary things like that.

2798
02:47:59,700 --> 02:48:01,700
There's also some non-scary things.

2799
02:48:01,700 --> 02:48:03,700
But that was a scary time.

2800
02:48:03,700 --> 02:48:05,700
Wow.

2801
02:48:05,700 --> 02:48:07,700
Yeah.

2802
02:48:07,700 --> 02:48:09,700
Holy crap.

2803
02:48:09,700 --> 02:48:11,700
Yeah, I got DJing and wrestling stories.

2804
02:48:11,700 --> 02:48:13,700
There's some stuff.

2805
02:48:13,700 --> 02:48:15,700
We'll definitely keep that for the next time.

2806
02:48:15,700 --> 02:48:17,700
We want to say thank you, Eric.

2807
02:48:17,700 --> 02:48:19,700
Sorry for keeping you this long.

2808
02:48:19,700 --> 02:48:21,700
But we enjoyed every single night.

2809
02:48:21,700 --> 02:48:23,700
It is almost midnight.

2810
02:48:23,700 --> 02:48:25,700
Yeah, I got to get up in three hours.

2811
02:48:25,700 --> 02:48:27,700
So I feel like.

2812
02:48:27,700 --> 02:48:29,700
Well, thank you again, Eric.

2813
02:48:29,700 --> 02:48:31,700
For jumping on with us.

2814
02:48:31,700 --> 02:48:33,700
Because definitely we got to do this again.

2815
02:48:33,700 --> 02:48:35,700
And you have yourself a great night.

2816
02:48:35,700 --> 02:48:37,700

02:48:47,700 --> 02:48:49,700
Not that many left.

2820
02:48:49,700 --> 02:48:51,700
So get them while they're still available.

2821
02:48:51,700 --> 02:48:53,700

2822
02:48:53,700 --> 02:48:55,700
We already know.

2823
02:48:55,700 --> 02:48:57,700
But yeah.

Thank you.

2833
02:49:15,700 --> 02:49:17,700
Yes, I appreciate it.

2834
02:49:17,700 --> 02:49:19,700
Thank you so much, Eric.

2835
02:49:19,700 --> 02:49:21,700
You have yourself a good night, buddy.

2836
02:49:21,700 --> 02:49:23,700
See you again soon.

2837
02:49:23,700 --> 02:49:25,700
See you.

2838
02:49:25,700 --> 02:49:27,700
That's he's trying to get.

2839
02:49:27,700 --> 02:49:29,700
There you go.

2840
02:49:29,700 --> 02:49:31,700
Yeah, I was like.

2841
02:49:31,700 --> 02:49:33,700
I'm like, fuck, we got to probably another hour and I can't do that.

2842
02:49:33,700 --> 02:49:35,700
I can't do that.

2843
02:49:35,700 --> 02:49:37,700
I can't just I can't just let you know how long the rest of the night.

2844
02:49:37,700 --> 02:49:39,700
And then I can just go.

2845
02:49:39,700 --> 02:49:41,700
I'm not going to do that.

2846
02:49:41,700 --> 02:49:43,700
That's why I have to do it tomorrow.

2847
02:49:43,700 --> 02:49:45,700
I have to get to Calais tomorrow.

2848
02:49:45,700 --> 02:49:47,700
Yeah.

2849
02:49:47,700 --> 02:49:49,700
So I might as well just stay up at this point if I'm going to fucking do

2850
02:49:49,700 --> 02:49:51,700
the news.

2851
02:49:51,700 --> 02:49:53,700
Just go straight to work.

2852
02:49:53,700 --> 02:49:54,700
Yeah.

2853
02:49:54,700 --> 02:49:56,700
Yeah, I got to drive two hours to Calais tomorrow.

2854
02:49:56,700 --> 02:49:57,700
So go get sleep.

2855
02:49:57,700 --> 02:49:59,700
Two hours.

2856
02:49:59,700 --> 02:50:01,700
Two hours to Calais in three hours, basically.

2857
02:50:01,700 --> 02:50:07,800
have that can have a discussion with this

2858
02:50:07,800 --> 02:50:13,400
will do the news tomorrow either nine or eight or nine o'clock it probably would be nine just

2859
02:50:13,400 --> 02:50:18,120
because it's normal just because we have a guest we've been talking about this possibly one days

2860
02:50:18,120 --> 02:50:24,360
where we doing guests we'll do a saturday and a friday show just because it's just a lot for all

2861
02:50:24,360 --> 02:50:29,880
of us as you can tell it's been almost three hours now with all of us on here so i want to

2862
02:50:29,880 --> 02:50:34,360
just say thank you all quickly do your fucking plugs so we can get out here and go to bed

2863
02:50:34,360 --> 02:51:04,060
and

2864
02:51:34,060 --> 02:51:41,720
all

2865
02:51:41,720 --> 02:51:45,140
the

2866
02:51:45,140 --> 02:51:48,800
two

2867
02:51:48,800 --> 02:51:53,800
you

2868
02:51:53,800 --> 02:51:59,000
get the giant seven foot demon to go get pissed off at somebody else because I don't know

2869
02:51:59,000 --> 02:52:00,480
we already know he's coming for you.

2870
02:52:00,480 --> 02:52:01,480
No he's not.

2871
02:52:01,480 --> 02:52:02,480
He's not.

2872
02:52:02,480 --> 02:52:03,480
No he's not.

2873
02:52:03,480 --> 02:52:05,320
He's going to go far far away.

2874
02:52:05,320 --> 02:52:08,360
I guarantee you he's coming for you like 100%.

2875
02:52:08,360 --> 02:52:13,080
He I'm sure somebody else will piss him off before the evening starts.

2876
02:52:13,080 --> 02:52:17,360
All you're going to do is just look at him funny and you become his enemy instantly.

2877
02:52:17,360 --> 02:52:20,520
So somebody will give him a really funny look.

2878
02:52:20,520 --> 02:52:21,520
I guarantee you.

2879
02:52:21,520 --> 02:52:24,240
I'm staying away so it's not me.

2880
02:52:24,240 --> 02:52:27,080
Yeah don't look, whatever you do don't look at him.

2881
02:52:27,080 --> 02:52:28,080
Don't look him in the eyes.

2882
02:52:28,080 --> 02:52:30,840
I promise it's not fun.

2883
02:52:30,840 --> 02:52:31,920
