And like yesterday, we went so long with the interview with Eric Johnson, even though it
was a great interview, we never even got into what he's currently doing, you know, from
the road where he had the 13, either 13 or 14 undefeated streak, you know, things with
Limitless, his time as Let's Tag Team Champions with Brandino.
So I'm hoping that we can get him back down in the future.
I still want to get a bunch of other guests before then.
I know we got to get Hess back, we got to get Eric back, Smiley was so much fun, like
these guests are so much fun to have.
So we've been going longer and longer on Fridays with these guests that we might be doing the
interview this regularly, where if we have a guest on Friday, we do the guest show Friday
and then Saturday, you guys will get the news show.
This is something that we're thinking about, just because with the bigger that we're starting
to grow, which is awesome, we're getting more comments, people are asking more questions
with the people that we're interviewing.
So we don't want to take away from that trying to cut the interview early, just to go into
the news and stuff.
So we were thinking that there is a possibility that either it's just going to be a guest
or we're going to do guest on Friday, Saturday will be news.
But then we get into that problem where Saturday is a possibility where we have shows, like
we get a bunch of shows coming up.
February 1st is Ring Wars 2.
I will be there with Dillon Nix against Hyper Putin as well as Samuel Matthews.
I think is no, he was he was like would JP.
Never mind.
I don't think he's actually booked Levi Spade.
He's doing a bunch of shit with promo Primos.
So it's going to be hard to possibly doing that.
So it's just things that we're trying to experiment and have fun with.
But like I said yesterday, I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing.
I wanted to give you guys an actual like show for the news, even though it was a great show
with Eric Johnson going through almost three hours, you know, talking, shoot the shit we
did.
Like I said, didn't give it everywhere.
So let's get into it, I guess.
Maybe we'll have some other friends joining in eventually.
If not, whatever you got me for the whole show and everybody's leaving.
They don't want big cat at all.
I understand.
So if you guys seen this with Corey Graves, I think this is a shoot.
I'm not shoot work, but Corey Graves, he was on he's on Twitter and he he just let out
some emotions that got him in deep water.
These tweets are now deleted.
However, of course, people save them.
So it's crazy because I didn't think that these tweets were that bad.
My personal opinion, but so he was off from the NXT, I think after he posted this.
So he said on his own personal Twitter, says, imagine chasing your dream and being told
not deciding that you're no longer physically able to pursue your dream.
Then you decide your life to something dream adjusted, adjusted and being pretty fucking
awesome at it.
And when it's time to enjoy your fruits of your labor, being told you're not famous
enough to do your own job, just in case you're wondering where I've been.
So he tweeted that and there was a lot of heat, I guess, supposedly.
I kind of think this might be like I said, this might be a work.
So he says, I've done.
I've got a lot to say, don't miss WWE NXT tonight on the CW.
And then the prompt confusion of multiple fans and the confusion only grew when graves
did not appear on the June 14 episode of NXT.
So he's in a little bit of hot water, I guess going on.
Supposedly there's been rumors that there's a possibility of him returning to wrestling.
We've seen that with Edge, Daniel Bryan, other guys that are told never can wrestle again
and they're back wrestling.
According to the Meltzer, which is probably not even true, more than likely not even true.
There's already a plan for McAfee and Cole to announce for Raw.
Meanwhile, the original plan was for Graves to move back to SmackDown with Joe.
However, something changed and Wade Barrett took Graves' spot and Graves moved to NXT
instead leaving Graves really upset.
Which Graves is not a bad commentator if this is actually like a shoot.
He does really good on commentating.
I honestly still my favorite, like everybody's favorite growing up was Jim Ross and Jerry
the King Waller.
You know, those are the two best commentating team right there, not commentating members
right there.
I can't get any better than that, but Graves has done really well.
Michael Cole, amazing.
So I can understand, you know, doing so well that he would be upset when they kind of feel
like he's being put like a downgrade.
But you know, he's not a guy that not feel comfortable to share stuff.
I should say we all know what happened like a while back with another NXT commentator
getting into his face, kind of being an asshole, which caused that guy to leave.
Can't remember his name, apologize.
But yeah, so this is what's going on right now.
This big thing, everybody's trying to figure out if it's a work or if it's shoot.
Who knows?
Who knows, right?
I think there was more to it that is talking about possibility.
I saw that right here.
Update.
Let's see.
No, that's not the right one.
Let's see.
I want the update on the situation.
I love it when I had this ready to go and I can't find the correct tab right there of
what I'm looking for.
This is probably the wrong tab.
Nope.
Here we go.
So this is no DQ.com.
This is updated situation.
WWE announced the core Graves Monday night.
WWE announced the core Graves issued a public statement about his status with the company
following his move back to the NXT brand.
Graves later wrote and he would say a lot.
He would have a lot to say on January 14th and then didn't end up premiering on the NXT
show.
The future with the WWE is currently uncertain.
And then update with Dave Meltzer.
This is Dave.
I believe Dave's quote.
We are told that he is not trying to get fired, just trying to blur the lines and create buzz.
One person high up in WWE said after that, he may be telling everybody it's a work and
turn into one.
But it's a total shoot when it's happening.
To make it completely clear, he isn't saying that publicly as in this situation, he's probably
not going to publicly talk about it for a long time until long after it blows over,
unless there's an angle from it or if the relationship with the company were to end.
I can't believe everything that Dave Meltzer says, but who knows?
I can see the frustrations that you feel like you're on the top brand and then being put
on NXT could feel like it's a downgrade.
However, we're seeing banger matches after banger matches in NXT.
At this point, I kind of feel like it's all the same.
Yeah, it would be awesome to be on the Netflix show because that's the bigger show getting
millions and millions of views.
I think the first show I think he was either between four, six million views, which is
something they haven't gotten in forever.
So it's kind of cool that they are, you know, be able to get that Netflix.
Yeah.
But speaking of Netflix, you know, we saw Penta, he had his match with Chad Gable.
Amazing match.
What we know is the rumor, the first NXT, not NXT, sorry, the first RAW on Netflix,
he was supposed to have a match.
I think they were, if I remember correctly, they were teasing Ray and Penta against Kofi
and Alexander Woods.
However, because of time from the Rocks promo and John Cena's promo, they had to cut it.
So he had his match with Chad Gable.
It was a great match.
Some botches in there.
Some, some literally like, ooh, spots like he hit the floor like Chad did not catch him
at all.
I'm like, oh, that probably sucked a lot.
And then he had a promo just basically thanking the WWE Universe.
And you know, this is Penta's time now basically.
And apparently he's gotten backstage heat.
Apparently he ran long in his segment match and it pissed everybody off.
Granted, I guess there's a big possibility because of AEW where they probably don't tell
times.
That's because they're always over.
They're always over their times at AEW.
So maybe he didn't really feel like he gave a shit or he was kind of just probably just
like, you know what?
You cut me from the last show.
Fuck you.
I can go whatever I want, but who knows?
So I got an article right here from, right here from, I believe it's either it's called
Wolt Culture, I believe it's, below it's there we go.
Yes.
Wolt Culture updated Penta ran over time on Raw debut backstage heat.
And then let's see, FIFO Select has published a new report confirming that Penta's WWE Raw
debut ran over time.
Especially has post match promo went longer than expected.
The outlet couldn't confirm whether or not this led to anything else on the show being
cut.
So yeah, basically getting some little backstage heat.
WWE new found flexibility on Raw's run time on Netflix as it isn't bound to a broadcasting
schedule in key markets in the US and UK.
FIFO notes.
However, the company was trying to hit the two hours and 30 minute mark for Raw this
week.
So yeah, again, this is a little bit pissy about it, but hey, you know what?
He's a big star.
Everybody's excited for him.
He's fucking doing great.
I'm looking forward to some banger matches.
Hopefully can have a better match with CM Punk.
Oh my God, the match was so bad on AW.
So funny though, if you saw that, it's just so funny.
CM Punk went to do a her Karana and just ate shit.
I put it on the botches from Portal 2, the ketchupy ketchupy ketchupy and this fucking
punk just eating shit because it's hilarious.
But like so many good matches I could see Penta and you know, obviously everybody's
like looking forward to him versus Ray because they had a banger of the match and in Mexico.
I can't remember what the promotion is, but you can look it up.
It's a it's fantastic.
It's amazing match.
And there's a lot, you know, possibilities of whoever you can pretty much work with whoever
you go, whoever they throw with them and just throw out banger.
So I like how the direction WWE is going with signing talent, you know, getting people in
trying even trying independent talent coming in going from, you know, you're normal from
like inside to NXT to however going getting signed to new getting like on the main roster,
which is pretty dope.
You know what we saw with the new bloodline, all those guys, independent stars immediately
coming in main roster.
But who knows, maybe they'll after they're done where their storyline, they could put
possibly just go right straight into NXT, do some more training because I know some
of their shit's fucking sloppy.
But who knows, we could see more stars.
I know a lot of guys on the independent scene are getting IW, IW ID WWE contracts.
Something like to look forward to like those names coming up to NXT, shit like that get
really excited for.
So main thing I want to talk about is if you guys didn't see, we saw the finally the merger
for WWE and NXT NXT sorry, TNA, I apologize.
I usually have friends here to put me in place.
However, they decided to spend time with their family and be an asshole.
So WWE and TNA finally announcing their multi year partnership.
They've already been doing a bunch of shit together anyways, you know, a lot of teenage
stars going to NXT, you know, Joe Hendry, and you know, vice versa.
It's really cool.
I can't wait for this.
AEW as we know, try to do the same thing.
They failed fucking miserably with it.
It was terrible.
They kind of buried TNA doing that.
But I feel like WWE and TNA working together is going to be awesome.
It's going to be going to be great for both companies.
And yeah, the former TNA knockout world champion, Jordan Grace and Joe Henry frequently appeared
on NXT programming in 2024, highlighted by the NXT Championship match featuring Henry
and Ethan Page at No Mercy.
Many NXT superstars also crossed the line into TNA wrestling, you know, got got a bunch
of it.
So it's this is great.
I love working with the shit I know.
Nix has brought it up, you know, hopefully, maybe we can get our age back, we can just
have a fucking like banger of a company get our rich TNA working with WWE, you know, everybody
working with each other beef really fucking dope, especially like do like always like
main focus on like, just the signed Indie guys, having them on the show, they had the
ID contracts, you know, having them progress into like NXT and then eventually WWE main
roster, I think that'd be awesome.
You know, WWE is doing doing everything smart, like, I'm so excited about this WWE I like
this this current WWE system.
I've explained it before.
But like, if you're not working shit like that, you know, working the Indies doing other
shows, you know, WWE is working with Noah, fucking, you know, it's awesome.
It's very awesome.
Giving these guys the ability to hey, we're not using you right now on TV.
Why don't you go, you know, continue going out and promoting yourself, you know, keeping
you fresh shit like that.
And that's awesome.
I love in that shit loving it.
But Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy were on the Chris von Ville podcast and they had like talking
about this, you know, the TNA experience, aw, how they feel like they're going to continue
on and I I'm gonna start one at a time.
I think Matt has a more straightforward talk about it.
However, I enjoy Jeff a lot better, but Matt's Matt's still cool.
But this is Matt Hardy talking about TNA and WWE working together.
Kind of sets you up for a possible WWE return this year, it feels like.
There is a that was actually one of his bold predictions is that the Hardys will wrestle
a match in WWE before the year's over.
How do you feel about that?
I feel good about that.
I mean, we that's one of the great things about working with TNA now, you know, they
know that we do have a lot of love for WWE.
They know that we would like to want to do the Hall of Fame.
We film some content from WWE that will probably drop in pretty soon.
I saw the Dudleys did it the day before us and I know there's just dropped recently.
And we have a good working relationship with them and I think the perfect storm arose.
I think you could see us pop up even as TNA champs on some WWE show at some point, who
knows?
There are the Royal Rumbles right around the corner.
There's an opportunity there for a version of you to show up.
Maybe at another point in the match, Jeff to show up as well wearing these championship
titles.
Yeah, I mean, it's their relationship is very good.
It's very good for business.
The very positive WWE slash NXT TNA relationship is very good for business.
And it goes both ways as well.
It does.
You know, that's been really fun to see.
I mean, if a TNA star goes and shows up on NXT, they seem like a bigger star.
You know, it's a great star building moment for them.
100%.
And with that same thing being said, TNA is a company that has been around for over two
decades.
If you said NXT talent and TNA, they seem like a bigger star for being there too.
Yeah, 100%.
I just don't agree with that, you know, that'd be awesome to like seeing more TNA talent
and you know, definitely get Matt and Jeff back.
I kind of wish Matt and Jeff and Edge and Christian had at least one more match together
before the you know, they separated brands.
Yeah, so it's it's it's great things with TNA and WWE working together.
You know, we could see a lot more possibility and match ups that a lot of people want to
see.
Let's see, I think I have Jeff.
Do I have Jeff talking about TNA?
I don't.
So I thought Jeff did.
I thought I did.
Maybe maybe it's part of this.
So I got Jeff Hardy talking about AEW and I think he mentioned TNA in this.
Relationship with TNA and WWE.
It seems completely plausible that the Hardy boys would be in WWE at some point this year.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
And man, it's there's never been a real heel Hardy run.
And I was so excited about that in AEW.
But I know I own what I what I've done.
And it was my fault.
I really let Matt down with the whole AEW thing.
I think even AEW, man, before I broke my nose wrestling Sammy Guevara, I was I my my thinking
was like, man, we're not being used.
What if I can be like a heel on social media and send out some tweets?
And it evidently wasn't professional.
But again, it's not like I was being serious.
I just said something like, you know, collision was designed for punks and that just but I
ended up getting getting three matches out of that with Squirreff Strickland, Jon Moxley
and then Sammy.
And in that match and all those matches, I had that feeling that passion.
I could feel it again within myself.
Oh, my God.
This is I love this.
I can still I got a lot more left in the tank.
And I experienced that.
But then naturally, injury happens and my nose was broken naturally.
That was going to take a while to to heal.
And and things just worked out the way they worked out.
I'm so glad to be back in TNA and super excited, man, because TNA has been been there for me
in dark times, man.
When I left the pro wrestling world in 09 and got in my situation, man, TNA employed
me and they supported me.
And oh, my God.
Like I said earlier, 2012 is one of the best years of my career.
I was from sobriety.
I was doing really good.
And I just eventually eased into that drinking alcohol again.
It took a while, but it just slowly, it slowly caught up to me.
Yeah.
So, yeah, just Jeff already just, you know, explaining a little bit about his priority.
You know, he's had he's struggled with a lot and I think he's sober now.
I think he's been sober for a few years now and it's great because like I said, it's this
he's just he seems like he does great and then he drops and then does great again and
then he drops.
It's I've never been, you know, in that type of situation.
So I can't imagine how difficult it is trying to, you know, continue to be sober and trying
to, you know, continue doing this type of work where you're constantly getting hurt.
Like we've said it multiple times.
Doing this is like taking taking a bump is like being in a 35 mile an hour car crash.
Every single time you take a bump.
So guys like this who are on the road at the daily, you know, even though like Hardy, you've
seen all the crazy things that the Hardys have done, you know, falling off ladders,
going through tables multiple times in their career, you know, takes more of a toll on
you.
So to try to stay away from pills and and alcohol and whatever harder substance, I bet
it's I bet it's tough when your body is just just killing.
It's just in constant pain.
We know we we we saw current angle talk about how many so most he was on because of his
broken neck and shit like that and trying to continue on going.
So good on Jeff for trying to, you know, staying sober and, you know, continue that.
I know Matt had an issue with I believe had an issue with that as well.
And then had an easier time getting sober than Jeff has.
But continue on with this.
We got like a bunch more, a bunch more going on.
Let's see.
Let's do you know what we were talking about this variety.
Let's talk about Jeff Hardy, Victor Road.
As we know, the Victor Road was the very, very fucked up Jeff Hardy coming out.
Supposed to have an amazing match with Sting and it didn't go that way at all.
He takes Sting shot, pinned him because he was just fucked out of his mind.
And this is him explaining it.
Anything from Victory Road?
I remember going out there and I remember I remember just staying roughing me up and
like throw me to the mat.
So I remember it.
And naturally we say like he shot on me.
But Eric Bishop told him to pin me because I was a zombie.
And it was obvious when you watch the tape face paint.
And I was kind of in my A throughout that whole evening.
Me and Sting had talked about this one killer spot I was going to do.
It was something like the twist of fate with the head and the chair.
But I was going to take his finish, the reverse thing in a chair.
And I was scared of that because I was, oh my God, I'm going to I'm going to break my
neck.
I don't know if I should do this.
And, and but, but anyway, and yeah, I remember like sobering up after that.
And Jeff Jarrett and even Hogan, man, and just, and knowing I had to go home and, and
get straightened.
They gave me another chance, man.
When I, when I did go back, I did this song called resurrected and Bruce Prichard was
there I believe.
And he made me go in the locker room and apologize to everybody.
And I don't think I've ever been that nervous in my life.
I was so nervous in front of all of these, these professional wrestlers that I admire
and love so much, but I had to go in there and just, you know, admit, say I'm sorry for
what I did on, on pay-per-view and, but that was good for me.
It helped me heal and, and, and yeah.
And so I just moved on from there and had a really good 2012.
But yeah, such a, such a dark time with staying and stay every time I've seen Sting since,
I mean, he's just such a, such a good, good dude and such a support.
And then, yeah, so I've just had a lot of dark, dark times from the, the alcoholism
and the drug addiction stuff.
It feels good to be on the other side of that.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
Just like, I was surprised he didn't get fired.
I'm really, he, he was such an important talent at that time.
I think months prior before he got fired from WWE, he was champion and then he had a drop
developed because of his addictions and shit like that.
And I've, I've heard too that, that Sting is amazing.
Yeah.
Very nice guy.
Very down to earth guy.
I wish WWE kind of treated him better.
You know, there was a massive scare too with Seth Rollins, but I really wish that there
was some better, better promotion going on, not promotion, but better story with Sting
when he was in WWE, maybe to try to keep him around.
I don't think he was happy at all in WWE.
He's happy, you know, and somewhat retirement right now.
But speaking of the, you know, the years he's talking about the years, you know, of his
being, you know, addiction and stuff like that.
Matt talks about him leaving in 2010.
When it was time to step away for a little bit from wrestling and kind of recenter yourself.
I just knew when my body was so beat up and I had worked so hard through 2010, you know,
and at one point, you know, they just said, oh, well, I said, I heard, can I have some
time off?
I said, oh, well, we, we, you're one of the guys we depend on.
We'll leave you on the road.
And so we'll just go, you know, to the doctor, see what they can do.
And all doctors do is like write your prescription bills, you know, and that's kind of where
that happened.
But once I started going down that very slippery slope, that's where I said, okay, I've got
to take some time away.
I've got to get myself together and make things work the right way.
And then you came back really better than ever from there.
I feel like, yeah, whenever I came back, I was a lot smarter.
Sure.
You know, and, and wrestling is kind of a cruel, cruel business.
Like when you're young and you're athletic and you can do everything under the sun, you'll
go out there and do it.
And you don't think about the character work.
You don't think about, you know, really building a strong persona and telling strong stories
necessarily with your character and like whatever the arc is and the story that you're working
against your rival until you get hurt and beat up real bad.
And you're like, I have this, I got to tell more of a story.
I've got to be more of a character.
And then that's when you start doing it, but then you can't physically do everything that
you could when you were younger.
So it's a, it's a real twisted business in that way.
Kind of cursed.
Yeah.
It's definitely needed time to step away.
And I don't know if that was before or after the leader stuff with the edge, you know,
and then having them come back and having that amazing story with hedge.
Um, but if you haven't heard that both, basically both of them, you know, severely depressed
about doing this kind of story, getting their personal lives into, you know, T on TTV.
And uh, but that was a killer match that matches, you know, that definitely elevated Matt and
then getting into Jeff versus Matt was, you know, fucking awesome matches too.
Uh, let's see.
I think, uh, we got, um, yep, we got a Matt Hardy, you know, talking about, uh, his return
at a WWE, uh, him and Jeff at a WrestleMania.
We come back to WB WrestleMania 33.
I'm doing like this, uh, kind of like a morphed character.
I feel like I'm still trying to retain the broken Matt Hardy identity, but we were playing
regular Hardy boys and you talk about it.
Like, it's not the greatest return of all time.
WrestleMania 33.
Yeah.
I mean, it was, it was, it was amazing.
One of those things we are so grateful to have had that moment.
You know, like we, it, we really kept it to, uh, a very small circle of people that knew
about it.
So there were some people that speculated may happen, uh, you know, may not happen,
but it did.
And it's crazy because the TNA, after we'd done all the broken Matt Hardy stuff, the
broken universe, brother Nero, uh, just the tens of thousands of people in there going
delete, delete, delete, delete how we had gotten that over and established it.
And it was, you know, all over the wrestling industry.
It was so, so cool.
Did you feel that wave from the audience?
Like did you feel that rush of energy from them?
Yeah.
I mean, it was, it was a very surreal moment.
Looking back, it's still, whenever I picture it, a lot of times I have vivid memories in
my head of something that, you know, has an event linked to it that you really have a
vivid memory and it's very crisp.
This one is weird.
It's almost like there's static around the outside of it.
Cause it's like surreal.
It almost felt like a dream because it was just so chaotic.
And we walked out, like we hadn't been in that venue.
That was a long round.
I mean that we literally had got there and we ran up right before we were going out,
you know, they were doing all they could to keep it quiet all the way up to the moment
we walked through the curtain.
And then once we stepped out, we saw that massive crowd and just the sea of humanity,
you know, delete, delete and all the excitement people were nuts.
And I see it's kind of in slow motion.
It's blurry around the edges because it was so surreal.
It was very like dreamlike in a nice.
I really wish I could pull up that clip too of their return of how, how amazing that return
was at Drislemania.
Cause nobody was expecting it.
There was rumors here and there that there's a possibility that they would be there and
the crowd lost their fucking mind.
And it was awesome.
It was such a great return.
Loved it so much.
I really wish like they kind of kept it because at that time, same thing with the Dudleys,
they're putting like a lot of guys over more than winning matches, which is fine.
Cause they're vets, you know, trying to get the younger guys over, but that's what it
seemed like, you know, FTR is having that issue.
I think in AEW where they're going, they're losing more matches than winning.
Like I kind of wish it would be like kind of 50, 50 type thing, building a nice program
with somebody and then, you know, putting them over.
But it was so great to have Matt and Jeff in and it's so great to have the Dudleys in
at that time too.
WWE it was, it was fantastic.
I've loved it.
So we got more of this Chris Vaughn interview.
I think that's all I pull for Jeff.
I mean for Matt, Jeff already talks about the Brock Lesnar incident with the chair shot
delivered.
One of the hardest chair shots in the history of pro wrestling to Brock Lesnar.
Walk me through what that was like.
Oh man.
I had been taking the three power bombs so much like night after night.
And I just felt like it was my chance to get it in, you know?
And we were out there and Matt followed up with a chair shot, but the echo in that building
that night was just crazy.
And then Matt followed up and he just, you know, went out of the ring and I was like,
the adrenaline was flowing, you know, cause it was such a loud chair shot.
He didn't go down.
Yeah.
He didn't go down.
He, cause he is a beast of a man.
But then I think after that, I found out through Paul Heyman that that was the first chair
shot he had ever took to the head.
And I was like, Oh my God, I had no idea.
But I know I guess I'm sorry.
He's going to expect them to all be like that.
Oh my God.
Gee whiz.
Thank you.
You hit him like, like he owed you money or something.
It was almost this half a second of silence too in the building.
People were like, Oh, it's like a time stop for half a second.
And just, and I go through the building.
That was extreme.
Yeah.
That was a crazy head chair shot.
I kind of want to see if WWE, if they'll be mad at me if I play it.
So I'm going to, we're only going to play a few, we're only going to play the chair
shot and hopefully, you know, WW doesn't, you know, get mad at me.
That's the hardest thing about this.
Is playing, trying to play clips and stuff and promos without getting copyright strikes.
Well, hopefully we got it here.
So check this out.
First ever chair shot and he ate that, ate it.
Oh my gosh.
Crazy and that sound.
That sound.
Oh my God.
Oh, and then Matt, I think that chair shot, I think he explained it before.
I'm pretty sure it was that one.
That one, maybe it was a different one where he accidentally busted him in the back of
the head open by accident to Brock.
It might've been that one might've been a different one, but I can tell you Brock definitely
got his receipts in for that one.
So like the one thing that I always remember about Jeff Hardy in WWE besides the winning
the belt, the winning the biggest belt, you know, the WWE championship was his feud with
CM Punk and this is him, you know, explaining it and this is kind of, I'm hoping there's
a possibility we might see this now that TNA and WWE are working with each other.
A lot of people don't get my humor and it can be, I don't, I guess it can be dark at
times, but I just said that, oh, you know, by the time I'm 50, I might, you know, go
back to the E and, you know, retire CM Punk and then maybe go in the hall of fame.
There was things like it was like, that was seriously what I'm manifesting, which is not
the case at all.
I just said that thinking I was being funny and I think that was right after I painted
my face so uncomfortably in front of all those people.
But everybody took that as gospel.
Yeah.
Jeff Hardy says he's going to retire CM Punk.
Yeah. And that becomes like a run.
No, but that's, I didn't mean that at all.
I just thought it might be funny, but it could happen.
And yeah.
And the reality is it could happen, man.
Cause I, our feud man, still, I get so many compliments on that man with people that are
adults now, you know, say, oh man, that's you and punk.
The feud was amazing.
So even in AW, I felt like there was a moment for me and punk, like at least just some kind
of face off or uncomfortable, like us running in each other in the backstage or something.
But we never got to do that.
But man, ultimately I would, I would love to revisit that, that feud in some way.
And who knows man, if CM Punk is such a superpower in the pro wrestling game, but man, if Jeff
Hardy getting sober made him like an asshole.
I mean, come on Jeff, he'll Jeff Hardy against the one and only popular CM Punk.
I mean, I feel like that's completely possible.
Yeah.
Banger, banger of a match.
That's what I want to see.
That would be fucking awesome.
But speaking of like he'll Jeff Hardy, he goes into detail of Willow, which is his alter
ego, you know, coming in with the mask.
If you guys saw on TNA, I thought it was really unique character, kind of cool, something
different that Jeff was doing.
And this is him talking about, you know, Willow difference in, in Jeff Hardy.
That's why I'm excited too.
There's this alter ego of mine, alter Nero of mine named Willow.
And he appeared in TNA, my last run in TNA.
And there's a new mask with a brand new face plate and man, I haven't tried it on yet,
but when I go pick it up and if it fits real good, I'm sure I'm going to get excited about
possibilities with, you know, a way darker side of Jeff Hardy or way more just spiritual
innovative character that Willow's never actually been in the past.
The original idea with Willow was like, nothing makes sense because he's not human.
He's just some alien.
And he's the God of my imagination.
That's kind of where it all started.
But for him to be like my dark passenger and kind of got Jeff Hardy into this, you know,
different zone in pro wrestling, I think there might be something pretty powerful within
that idea.
So that's something we might see this year in TNA.
I feel like it.
I feel like it for sure.
Yeah.
So if I throw up a Willow promo on social media or something and it's decent, I mean,
that'll be the test to see the feedback and then, you know, go from there.
Yeah.
I would love to see Willow versus CM Punk would be fucking awesome.
Oh, just I'm so excited with this era of wrestling.
It's so much fun.
Now if AEW could do, you know, could maybe get some writers or something like that and,
you know, produce the same like same kind of banger, that's something that would make
sense and lot people with love.
I would love to have that.
I love to see that.
You know, it's just everything in wrestling is going so great right now.
This are amazing.
WWE is doing awesome things.
TNA is rising and doing some amazing things.
You know, we saw Scott, who was used to be the owner of TNA, Maple Leaf is doing amazing
things.
You know, it's doing so many great things right now in wrestling.
It's great to be a wrestling fan.
It's so exciting just to see like the possibilities of matches and stuff like that.
Maybe one day, AEW and WWE will have some kind of partnership as well, you know, because
I'd love to see John Moxley and Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in the ring again.
Or, you know, I've talked about a million times, Kenny Omega versus CM Punk.
I'd love to see that.
Even like there's so many matches we can see with them crossing over.
It's you know, hopefully one day we might actually be able to see that if they're still
around.
But the last clip I have is with Jeff Hardy paying his face.
We all know that he does that for, you know, coming in.
It's his, you know, his art style.
He loves to do that.
And there's one episode of TNA where he paid tribute to Bray Wyatt as the fiend.
This is him explaining it.
So much joy out of painting my face even because I'm always coming up with these images that
I know are possible to put on my face.
And a good example of that is when I did a tribute to the fiend.
That just turned out incredible.
And that's, oh my God, I've never painted teeth on my lips before.
So naturally the fiend, Bray Wyatt, I had to, you know, show him some love.
What did it mean to you to pay tribute to him like that?
The feedback was incredible, man.
Just the love that, you know, came back from that and people being grateful of that because
he was such an amazing human being.
And Matt got to work with him naturally.
I would have loved to, but I still watched the little pre-tip we did backstage when I
was coming back from shoulder surgery and we did a little thing back there.
I was about to go out with Finn Baller and Seth Rollins and me, Matt and Bray did a little
thing back there.
And I just, oh man, it warms my heart every time I see that.
Yeah.
I miss Bray.
Bray was a very, very unique and amazing mind in wrestling and touched the heart of a lot
of fans.
Like everybody was devastated.
Like I even cried.
I will admit to that.
I was devastated, you know, that Bray sadly passed away leaving behind, you know, his
daughters and his wife and he just touched so many fans and wrestlers.
Like I do some Bray shit.
Like heel cat does a lot of like aneurysms of Bray Wyatt, you know.
And I do the, the senton comes from Bray as well as cross body.
You know, that like taking things from him and cause he's like, he was very like an amazing
character to take ideas from, but he's definitely missed and loved and you know, still favorite
match to see is the Wyatt's versus the shield.
Amazing fucking match.
Like I think they had two or three of them, all of them fucking bangers, all of them bangers.
So that's all the Chris Vaughn interview I have for Jeff and Matt.
Limitless Wrestling had their event Saturday.
They also have one today.
We're going to check the main event tonight.
It was the Morgan Hill meltdown was on Saturday.
I was actually supposed to be there.
I had a family emergency so I couldn't attend, but Matt Cordona was there and Desmond Cole
and him faced off.
We're going to watch that tonight as well as the main event for limitless tonight.
I want to do that for the people watching tonight.
So we'll do that behind the wall.
But I just want to give a little tease.
You probably won't.
How do you listeners enjoy this as much as people watching, but we had Alexander Lee
and supposed to be against Jay Haru and in the corner of course is a Niagara and we got
a highlight video of for some reason the card was changed for some reason.
We'll see why.
The music stopped.
Young Storm.
Very important stuff from the back.
Ladies and gentlemen, the scheduled matchup for the next event is going to be the
Storm, very important stuff from the back, ladies and gentlemen, the scheduled matchup
between Alexander Lee and Jay Haru unfortunately will not be taking place.
Ladies and gentlemen, the scheduled matchup for the next event is going to be the Storm,
very important stuff.
I wasn't finished.
Oh!
I was not finished.
Do you mind?
Can I finish?
Kick his ass.
Ha!
That match,
J. Haru and
Ro, that match is not happening.
However, another match
has been made official for
tonight.
And this match
is a
10 team match.
But I'm
not the owner
of the match.
Not any damn match.
Look at this.
This is a
10 team
street
fight.
Oh baby!
Alexander Lee's gonna get that pound of flesh.
Hi Dad.
AC Baby
answers the call.
The perfect day plan.
He's out the window now.
So likes his sentence.
Oh, I'm gonna get fucked.
A trusted friend of Alexander Lee.
I'm sorry!
This will never do.
He's gonna stick him right in.
Ha!
I bet that hurts a lot.
Oh my God!
Disgust Lariat!
Wait.
Ace is looking amazing by the way.
Not just vengeance, punishment.
Ace has
you know
worked so hard to drop
weight. He's been going to the gym
constantly, you know, changed his
diet, everything. He did like
kinda did like a, with his TikTok
just showed like his meal plan and stuff like that.
Good on Ace. I think he dropped
like over 100 pounds or 100 pounds
in a year.
And he was
he was over 400. I think he's actually
lower than me or close to my weight.
So good on
Ace. Great job dude.
Did fantastic.
I hope we get you back on the podcast.
You were supposed to go that night but things
change. I'm
actually gonna get in touch with him. See if he would like to
come back on in February.
Maybe we can get you know him to
explain his journey of weight loss and stuff
like that. Looking forward
to that.
Get the tables!
Get the tables indeed!
My god!
It's just cracked across the head.
The steel chair.
That chair being utilized to great effect.
Cracks across the back.
Moving forward. Unless
Alexander Lee
to the floor.
Something worse.
Wow god!
Oh god!
Haru with the trash can
living. Oh no.
Ow.
Coming in hot.
It's Barrow with a pair of clotheslines.
The trash can
living. Oh
babe!
Somehow Haru still
standing. Oh here we go.
Roll the drive.
Oh no!
No no no no!
Hey!
You gotta do this!
One on two. Affair the
dusters. No affair.
3D!
Yes!
I got so mad when I saw that.
I got so mad he did
the 3D. Not only because we do it.
Not that reason.
Because he'd always give a shit
for doing the 3D.
He goes, well that's the Dudley's
mothafucka. You're gonna piss off the Dudley's if they ever fucking see you.
And here it is. That's mothafucka.
Doing the 3D.
He's like, oh!
Oh! It's okay. Would you do it dad?
Oh! Okay. Fucking bullshit.
Like.
Throw the thorn!
J.R. O'Lugos!
Feels like
deja vu for J.
Haru. But now
Lee from the top!
Drows on the head
drive and went into the
heart and captures the victory!
Awesome.
Awesome. That was
I wish I was there to see that. I would have been
fucking screaming.
