Welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode
of Per Sessions Wrestling Podcast. I'm your host,
the Mane of Mane. And of course, we are live
every Friday, 9 p .m. Eastern Standard Time.
But if you cannot get to the show... Are you
just going to stop at the Mane of Mane? You have
a name. Big Cat Tyler Adams. There you go. It's
not my wife who fucked it up this time. It was
myself. It's live every Friday, 9 p .m. Eastern
Standard Time. If you can't catch us live, you
can always listen to us on every audio platform.
Spotify, Apple Podcasts. Give us five stars.
We appreciate it. I still got to pull that for
a soundbite. I'm here with... Surprise Dylan
Nix, the Nautical Nightmare. Yeah. Life gets
in the way sometimes. We'll say it that way.
I was supposed to be at Geno's tonight. I wish
all my friends and brothers and sisters great
luck at Geno's. It's a fun, fun, fun place to
be. I would have loved to have been there, but
well... Shit happens. It's sad. I mean, I'm kind
of in the same boat even though I didn't go.
JP, I hope you get your ass kicked tonight. Oh,
he hasn't been too bad. No. JP O'Tizzle. I think
that little spasm finally got out of him. Oh,
yeah. The win on Samuel Matthews to show his
ugly face one day. Oh, he might grumble back
in here at some point in the near future. Some
point. By the way, if anyone's watching and wondering
what I'm doing, I'm running on a whiteboard right
now. But I'm talking. He's running down his murder
hit list because he lost the MEW title. Big cat,
big cat. He lost the MEW title last week. Was
it last week or the week before? It was last
Saturday. Not this Saturday. Yeah, this last
Saturday. Was it a whole week ago or two weeks
ago? I can't remember. No, I think it was last
Saturday. Yeah, it was the 18th. So yes, I lost
my coveted, defended... My eight -month reign
has come to an end. And as promised, special
guest tonight, we have Joey... No, I'm just kidding.
No. Whatever. The kid beat me fair and square.
I'll be honest, I wasn't going light on him.
Everyone was like, oh, you're taking these down.
No, I was not. I was throwing him all around
the ring. I was beating the crap out of him.
He got me with a couple quick little moves and
stuff. Give him a little bit of credit. my own
hubris. Honestly, I hit him with a big old belly
to belly leg drop was like, all right, man, got
him here. One, two. Nope. Kicked out. Ref Mo
said two. I kicked up, looked at Mo for a second.
What the hell? And in that the hell moment, one,
two, three. Yeah. But he roll you up. Yeah. You
get me the crucifix pin. Oh, bullshit. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So like I said, man, sometimes
your own hubris gets you. You should have thrown
out your muscle buster. You would have got it.
I didn't want to cripple the poor kid. He's bottom
heavy. I probably could have got him up. He's
bottom heavy. We got some stuff to talk about.
Speaking of main stuff, sadly, if nobody knows
yet, for those who are not in the area, we all
trained at the Limitless Dojo. Oh, God. We've
got to go into this, don't we? Yeah, we do. Sadly,
we got news at the beginning of October that
they have to close. Now, it has nothing to do
with Randy Carver Jr., who is running it. It's
not his fault. What we basically figured out
was the building is doing reservations right.
I think they're restructuring what they're doing
with the building. The apartments will still
be on top. I think what they're doing is they're
going, well, we're going to turn this into something
else. Maybe more apartments or whatever. The
building used to be a big building, but they
used to be apartments on top and multiple different
other businesses on the bottom. You had the dojo.
I think it was like a car depot or whatever.
There was Stanley Steamer, which is a cleaning
thing. And then there was another business next
to them, and then there was the once -in -a -while
person that would come in and sell a bunch of
shit. It was like a yard sale almost. I think
two or three people bought wrestling shoes from
her. Just a bunch of random sports shit. The
worst part now is like... I probably would buy
it because she had a pair of purple and silver
ones I didn't want at the time. Now I'm like,
ah, except I don't have purple gear anymore.
Well, I still have purple gear. I just don't
wear purple gear anymore. Yeah, because good
old Levi Spade had to leave us a little fucker.
Yep, I don't wear that anymore. But yeah, so
everybody basically got the, hey, we're doing
something different left. And yeah, so with that,
the... I think Adam Booker wanted to start up
a school for a while so I think him and I'm not
sure if I think Limitless is involved a little
bit I'm not sure Limitless is part of it right
now it's kind of like the unofficial official
training school for Limitless Wrestling It's
being headed up by Adam Booker, by Ace Romero.
I don't know what the hell I almost said for
Ace's last name right there. Hazard, the 23 Hazard,
Channing Thomas, and Anthony Green. And I mean,
to be fair, those are some fantastic people to
learn from. Whoever goes down there to train,
and I've seen a few of our compatriots down there
already, whoever goes down there to train and
learn are going to be learning from some very,
very, very talented people. Yeah, very talented
people. That was the dojo, sadly. Let's see.
I guess I did not have it ready. Big time wrestling.
You know JP's working that show? Yeah, I was
just going to say something about that too. JP's
actually managed to work that show and hopefully,
you know. Didn't even give us a call. No, no,
no call for us. No, do you know how he told,
he said that the way that he got it. It was Champ,
right? Champ, yeah. Yeah, Champ Matthews. Yeah,
I heard about that. And he said, Matt Riddle's
there. I'm like, ooh, God, I hope he doesn't
watch the podcast because he's got a shit on
Matt Riddle. Oh, man. I mean, to be fair, I was
joking with Red Dog when I was on his podcast.
I was like, dude, AEW's never going to hire me.
You have to tune into the podcast once and be
like, no, fuck that guy. Well, not even that
because I'm pretty sure they look into all your
shit so they immediately pop up with a bunch
of us talking shit about them. So it's like,
whoop. And the worst part is like, Like, I've
always said this. I don't hate on AEW. I just
want them to be better. I do. Yeah, the talent
is great. Yeah, the talent's great. I'm sick
of watching. I was watching a match the other
day. It wasn't AEW. It was an indie match. And
it was like, bang, kick up, bang, kick up, bang,
kick up, bang, kick up, bang, kick up, bang.
I'm like, seriously? Like, frickin' stay down.
I completely forgot about it. You brought up
AEW, and I just remembered the fish tank. Did
you see the fish tank? Oh, Jesus Christ. Yes.
Oh, my gosh. Let's try to commit actual murder
in the middle of the ring, because, you know...
Again, I said this before. When is it too much?
I understand ECW had extreme shit. I think the
worst thing that they had was a crucifixion.
Yeah, that's with Raven and Tommy Jr. They did
it twice. But here's the thing, dude. Here's
the thing. besides the crucifixion if you watch
ecw and i am a huge ecw fan um i i actually would
i i think i've told the story you should go to
my aunt's house my aunt had one of the giant
satellite dishes the one you actually had to
press buttons and you could actually hear the
satellite moving outside yeah it was like the
size of an rv yes and this thing would connect
to actual legit satellites in the sky different
ones to connect to different stations right I
would go up there on Saturday afternoon and I
would have to hunt because it moved. I would
have to hunt for the satellite that would show
ECW TV from New York at 12, I think it was 1230
in the afternoon on every second Saturday of
the month. And I would plop myself down and watch
it. Now, if you watch ECW's hardcore stuff, they
had barbed wire, they had tables, they had like
candlesticks, stop signs. But here's the thing,
all that stuff besides the stop signs. Most of
that stuff feels like it can be found around
the arena or be there in some capacity for some
reason, right? It at least made sense. Now, a
fish tank, you have to pull a fish tank out,
fill it with water, and then dunk someone's head
in it. I'm like, you're missing steps here. It
don't make no freaking sense. Like, yo, surround
the dude in a fish tank. It's like the gasoline
thing. Not only that, I think the former Lee
Riders, what are we doing here? You're going
to have kids trying to do this shit. Yeah. They
don't do it anymore, but WWE used to have the
thing where trained professionals don't try this
at home. Of course, we all tried it at home.
It's all because of that kid that broke his sister's
neck by accident. It wasn't his sister. It was
a kid they were babysitting, actually. Oh, babysitting.
Yeah. Actually broke her neck and killed her.
And that's when WWE was like, don't do this at
home. It's like, please don't do this. And the
thing is, like I said, we've all done stupid
shit. But it's like, dude, seriously? Let's drown
him in a fish tank because that's a good plan.
The bag was like, it's just way too extreme.
Maybe, I don't know. You're trying to get fans.
Yeah. and you're basically you're getting to
like a mature audience with this shit no yep
if i like if i had aw on and i saw that and my
kids were sitting there watching like yeah nope
yeah exactly this right now like so i'll be honest
i was watching wrestling when i was a kid My
parents didn't watch wrestling with me. Every
now and then, I'd have Raw in the living room
or something. My dad would watch. Dad got a kick
out of it. My dad gets a total kick out of watching
me wrestle to this day, by the way. My mom's
one of those people that she watches people get
hurt and she feels it. My dad just gets a freaking
kick out of it. To this day, dad watches it.
I'm really sad they weren't there at the last
crown show because dad wasn't feeling well. They
didn't get to see me win the title. That's all
right, though. Anyway. You know, it's like, they
never watched me watch wrestling. They didn't
know what was going on. Like, I remember, and
I think I've told this story before, is Jake
Roberts having the Cobra bite Macho Man Randy
Savage. Come find out it was the Venom. It didn't
yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. But still, it's
still sticking its fangs into Macho Man's arm,
right? Back in the day, that was a huge deal.
Everyone was like, oh my God, this is like, what's
going on? Ah, freak it out, freak it out, freak
it out. Now that would be teen. john moxby like
i eat six cobras and freaking drink your bones
you know it's like bro yeah it's it's they're
just gonna get to a point where they're gonna
get cut off tv yeah someone's actually gets too
much someone's gonna get really hurt and i'm
not talking like we're barely got really hurt
yeah with the spike bat i mean like imagine if
that spike would went into his spine hurt That's
what I'm talking about. I'm honestly surprised
it didn't. I am too, to be fair. I'm waiting
for that moment of, oh, he went through 24 panes
of glass, 17 light tubes, and a tank of piranhas,
and now he's crippled for life. Well, what the
fuck did you expect? They've got to get it to
a point where they've got to get cut off TV.
It's going to be like, you're too much. You can't
put you on TV anymore. Apparently, one of the
rumors going around is WB who is the parent company
of AOL Time Warner. Basically, WB kind of is
like, so it's AOL Time Warner, WB, and everything's
kind of in one kilometer over here, right? Apparently,
they want to sell to Netflix. That's what I've
been hearing. I wonder why. Because Netflix makes
money. Yeah, exactly. For now. That's great and
everything, but what happens to What happens
to AEW if they go to Netflix? Netflix is like,
we already got Raw. But no, dude, HBO is owned
by Time Warner. Yeah, but they're on an HBO contract
as it is already. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
It's going to get stupid before it gets better.
At this point, we might as well just pay for
cable. That's all it is anyway. Well, that was
another tangent I want to get into. We can get
in later. It's fucking stupid. I have no more
white claws. i'm sad i'm sad i'm sad uh you don't
have your uh uh you don't have your uh uh you
don't have your uh i don't have my booze you
don't have i don't have my booze you don't have
i don't have my booze i ain't getting the booze
i get pizza i ain't getting the booze i get pizza
i ain't getting the booze i get pizza today though
so that's good so we got today though so that's
good so we got today though so that's good so
we got the this was their first this is a just
the this was their first this is a just the this
was their first this is a just basically come
in and whatever and then basically come in and
whatever and then basically come in and whatever
and then yeah it looks like a huge turnout which
yeah it looks like a huge turnout which yeah
it looks like a huge turnout which was awesome
yeah was awesome yeah was awesome yeah um i don't
know if these kids will um i don't know if these
kids will um i don't know if these kids will
On the very left? Yeah, it's Speckman. He's going
to be part of it. Greenleaf would show up for
us for ref training. I think Speckman's going
to be there to show up, help any potential refs
learn how to be a good ref. Honestly, learning
under Nate Speckman as a referee, you're really
lucky. This was a little bit bigger than I thought
it was. With the first picture I saw with Ace,
it looked like somebody just redid the walls
of the dojo. That room's pretty good size. Like,
there's actually room in there to move. But you
can tell it's like the same setup because they
got the garage door on the right side. Yeah.
But what I like is there's room to practice.
Like, we never were able to practice dives. Yes,
dives. Like, there's no room in the dojo to ever
practice dives. If you didn't dive, you never
dove. Like, none of us ever dove. There's no
room to do it. Like, unless we wanted to end
up in Randy's lap. Exactly. Which we almost did
on eliminations a couple times. Right. He grabbed
the table and pulled the table. He pulled the
table back and was like, ooh. Oh, good. Sorry,
Randy. So, what people don't understand, though,
like, wrestling is, you know, it's, you know,
scripted and shit like that. However, there's
a physical aspect to it. A lot of people think
they can do it. They do a class or two and realize,
oh shit, this fucking sucks on my body. I've
noticed when we got new kids in the dojo, and
I was always one of the ones I loved helping
out the new kids because we were all the new
kids once. I liked being able to help out the
new kids. I was the one that would always take
bumps for them and stuff because first of all,
I can control my own bump. I can go over myself
if I have to on a hip toss or on an arm drag
or something. I'm not afraid to take my own bump.
First of all, kids, learn to take your own bumps.
Trust me. Save yourself in the long run. No,
seriously. I was never afraid to work with the
new kids, but I always found with the new kids,
what really would eliminate the new kids as quick
as possible is taking the first two. back bumps
like the first legit super back bumps like just
a normal like not from your knees and gentle
over no the first while you're standing you take
a clothesline snap yourself back bump um most
of the kids that i see quit after the first couple
days would do that and they'd whack the back
of their head or they'd hit the hit and they'd
just be up this socks and you'd look and go yep
and guess what how many of those you've taken
a match you know there's and i'll be honest there's
matches i've taken one bump, and there's matches
I've taken 50 bumps. So it all just depends.
Sometimes it depends on your work. There's matches
I don't take bumps, and I'm still fucking sore.
It's like, jeez, I didn't do anything. I didn't
do anything tonight, and holy shit, I'm hard.
Wild tag matches where I've taken the entire
heat. I've suggested to do... I've suggested
to do some. I know, I know. Let's change it up.
It's always the same thing. Want to take the
hot tag? Oh, shit. What's my hot tag? No, I'm
talking about you. I have a hot tag now. It would
just be my comeback. It's funny. Since I've been
doing... Once I won the main state title and
I actually had to... have a structure somewhat
to my match not just kind of like let's throw
this together see what sticks i actually have
like a shine and a comeback structure now i change
it up occasionally but it's like the same bits
and i just kind of go uh we'll change this around
we'll do this but now i at least like took me
six fucking years to get there but at least i
can hear ben yelling at me right now god damn
it Yeah, right. Exactly. The Pine State is going
to be the new school now. Good luck to them.
Seriously. 100%. I wish them nothing but the
best. Me too, but the thing is I'm never going
to fucking be there. I might go occasionally
just like if I get a day off, I'll drive down
or something. I'll go check it out. I have the
same problem. It's three and a half hours to
Portland for me because I'm so... It's about
three hours, actually. For me to go from here
to Geno's is about three hours. It's the same
thing, man. It's so... I have to go up and down,
or if I have to go down and cross, it takes forever
for me to get there. It's exactly like a fucking
show day. You just spend all day there, basically.
I would go down, go for class, and honestly,
I'd probably end up sleeping down there if it
was that way, because I'd be like... It's a half.
I love doing it. I gave Randy some because he
wants to open it back in a new location here.
I gave him some places that I saw that were for
rent. He said he's probably not going to do anything
until after the new year. I don't blame him,
honestly. They got this thing going. What's cool
is a lot of the kids we had coming, I call them
halfways. Because they're halfway between Portland
and the Bangor. For them, it doesn't change a
whole lot. If I was in Gardner, I'd go there.
The ones that really screws up is me and you
because we're here. Exactly. Maverick, Waterville
area, Waterville, Augusta area. Maverick and
Lee are both Waterville. That at least takes
45 minutes of a drive because it's 45 minutes
from Waterville to Bangor. So it's probably an
hour down to Portland. I think something like
that. So something like that. So like all of
us is like in this area, you get Sammy Matthews,
me, you, um, and, uh, donkey boy, like all of
us are, uh, just all of us is like, Ooh, either
we travel, we open another school opens up. That's
it. I'm open to my own school with hookers and
blackjack. I'll close very quickly. Depends if
we get caught. Right. And that's the other issue,
though. There's Alexander Lewis standing at the
door like, there ain't no hookers or black tech
in here. You can walk away now. That's the other
issue, though, is that to start your own wrestling
like anything, it's so much fucking money now.
You got to get insurance. You got to get the
building. um well it's just you're talking about
that i was just like i i was plotting a show
it it probably will never happen by the way folks
i was thinking maybe of running my own show don't
don't get twisted it's probably not going to
happen but just to price out like certain things
like okay i like i knew my ring rentals i know
how much I had the dojo down there for a ring
rental for one of my three that I was thinking
of. So they're out, of course. But the other
two places, I know what my ring rental was. I
know how much I want for the building. I know
how much insurance is going to cost. Oh, you
actually dove in depth. Dude, I deep dove in
this. I get bored at work one day. Don't tell
my boss. Because I've thought about it too. The
farthest it's gone is a card. And like, it's
like, this is never going to happen, but I have
a card and I know some people's prices. So like
I actually had their prices priced out and like
some people, like I was going to be like, Oh,
I'll see them over the next couple of weeks.
I can just ask, be like, Hey, I'm thinking about
maybe running a show in the future. What's your
rate? You know? And you know, do you need trans?
Right. By the way, kids, if you do. your rate
and someone from out of state asks you rate just
add whatever your trans is into it don't be like
oh it's this plus trans no just be like it's
100 bucks you know whatever but no so like i
priced out to a certain extent like what it is
and i'm just like i don't have this much money
in my back pocket to do this as much as it would
have been fun um i could tell you what my card
was. Yeah, I'm wondering if I have mine. I'd
like to hear what you've had. Oh, sure. Actually,
hold on. Give me a sec. I'll pull it up. Talk
amongst yourselves. This is one of the things
that I do wish that we would make some pretty
decent money for the podcast. Maybe this happens
down the road to maybe run a show maybe once
or twice a year. Okay, so I had one, two, three,
four. five i have five matches i probably would
add a match because i'd like to have six i'd
like to do three and three just because i weirdly
enough eric made sense on that at the last ring
wars where it's like if you have three and three
you don't burn the crowd out um i've been to
shows that have had 14 matches on them that's
a little too much so all right so i was gonna
do alan profit for the opening uh it's gonna
be alan profit black rose and i was trying to
think of a third like fly type person and then
i was like oh yeah duh aiden aggro so i think
those three together would have a really fun
flyy match um i know aggro likes to fly but he's
not really much of the flyer as much as he used
to be but i think that'd still be a fun match
and they would structure the hell out of it it'd
be great um i think the second match i was gonna
have a lot of fun with it'd be bear bronson versus
johnny pierce oh my gosh i think that that'd
be a hard -hitting match it'd be fun to watch
Johnny's a big dude. Bear's a big dude. It'd
be a hot fight. I'm not trying to interrupt you
right now, but we got some breaking news. What's
up? Do you want to pull up what we just got and
fucking chat? I saw JP sent us something. Look
what he just sent us. Oh shit, what the hell?
That's not good. Yeah, so let's uh, let's pull
up this breaking news. So right now court right
now. We're at everybody's at Gino's and Something
just fucking happened Can you ask him what's
going on while I try to pull up this? Yeah. Yeah.
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on Sorry, I'll get back
to your your card. Yeah. Do you want to hear
it? But I I gotta I gotta pull this up So right
now they're currently uh, yeah, there's fire
trucks outside of Gino's that fire trucks outside
of Gino's right now JP O 'Reilly live on... Dude,
jump on the freaking pod. You can jump on your
phone and tell us what's going on. Yeah, tell
him. See if he can jump on the pod and tell us
what's going on. So yeah, right now Geno's is
a show. It's a bar outside of Portland and we
just got this video right now of JP. He just
sent us a video of fire trucks and shit like
that outside the venue. so i think you forgot
we were going on the i i suppose like i said
i was supposed to be there um this is what happens
when the band decides to bring a smoke machine
to the wrestling shop oh my god so that's what
happened okay okay Okay, okay. That's not as
bad as I thought it was going to be. That's actually
kind of funny. I didn't hear the audio. I just
saw the fire trucks. I'm like, oh, shit. Oh,
my God. That's actually pretty good. Oh, my God.
Thankfully, everyone's okay. Smoke machines.
By the way, if you guys haven't been to Geno's,
it is a very, very small venue. Smoke machines
are probably the best idea. They brought a smoke
machine and a fucking fire alarm. Oh, that's
pretty good. How did they not send that out that
it was a false alarm or whatever? They can't.
If the fire alarm goes off, the fire department
shows up. Oh, because it's an actual building.
It's an actual building, yep. And that's one
of those things like, it could be a fire, so
they'll show up. What the fire department will
do, I've been in a couple of these situations
working in hotels, they'll show up, they'll do
a sweep, and what they'll do is they'll have
a heat gun, and basically it's thermal. Gone.
They'll thermal through and just be like, eh,
we don't see any hot spots, and then they'll
be like, cool, and then they'll let everything
proceed as normal. Larry must be flipping his
shirt right now. Oh, I bet he is. God damn it,
what the hell, you mean there's no fire? Give
me a voice, a chop, yeah. And this is 9 o 'clock,
so this must be intermission. Uh, yeah. Yeah,
that makes sense, actually. Yep, it would have
been rated intermission. I wonder if there's
actually, like, The sprinklers went off. No,
because it would require heat. So most... Oh,
because of the... Most sprinklers require heat
because they are... Most sprinklers have... You
had the right thought. They have wax on them.
Yeah. The wax will melt and go... Yeah. Yeah.
Hopefully it's not like the sprinklers on...
What was it? Oh, it was a horror show on Netflix.
It was really good. Oh, my God. It's the one
based on Edgar Allen Poe. I can't think of it,
but it's really good. Finish your card. Anyway,
yeah, so my card. I figured if we got Johnny
up, we'll bring Selina up, too, because Selina
Hecate is a very good worker. One of the nicest
people I know. And I kind of went, well, if we
got Bear, who's Bear's better half? Abby Gabby.
So we have Gabby and Selena. I wanted kind of
a local -ish team, someone local. Not super local,
but someone local, someone over local, but I
wanted to heal. I actually brought, I don't tell
them I told you this, I figured the pathway,
versus Conway. Derek Conway and his tag partner.
They were the Proving Ground Champs not too long
ago. I can't think of his name, and I'm so sorry.
Watching them work, they reminded me of us, actually.
Oh, yeah? Yeah. Oh, no. Agro wasn't in the opening
match. I screwed that up. Agro was in my main
event. That's where I was going with that. My
main event would be Steven Lust versus Aiden
Agro. I was going to call it Downey's Championship
Wrestling, by the way. If anyone's curious. And,
uh, before you would do that, this comment came
in, uh, how you guys both doing both tonight.
Uh, um, uh, if you do start a wrestling company
or Tyler, would you do a yearly? Yeah, it would
be, if I did an actual show, it would be a yearly
one. And it'd probably be like what is going
on with, uh, what JP is doing. Um, I would do,
uh, quarterly. So every three months, if I could,
uh, kind of like, Honestly, kind of like Crown
of Maine does. They do it every three months,
and I think that's a good way to do it because
one, you don't oversaturate your audience with
wrestling, and two, you actually have time to
build stuff up for the next show. You can build
a storyline in three months. It's basically like
the old WWF pay -per -view schedule. There used
to only be four pay -per -views. It was SummerSlam,
it was Royal Rumble, it was WrestleMania, and
it was Survivor Series. That was it. Well, I
understand that, but here's the other thing,
though. With that idea, you would have to find
a place where it would be running all the time.
So, Bangor Brewers Ring Wars for currently right
now. Dude, I have Ellsworth. No one runs in Ellsworth.
Yes, that's true. And Ellsworth is the hub of
all these freaking places. I would get Bar Harbor.
I would get Franklin. I would get Brewer. I'd
get Ellsworth, of course. You get all these other
towns around us into one area. You would have
to find a venue that would be for the Ellsworth
area because I know a venue you can run in. I
know one you can run in Gouldsboro. It's $200
a day. No, I'm not running in Gouldsboro. Sorry.
It's too far away. That's what I'm saying. That's
the only one I know. It's too far away. No, I
would actually pay the money and run the freaking
Ellsworth High School. The high school? A high
school. Would let you do it? I already asked
them. I already reached out to the high school.
I already know that they would let me do it.
I kind of want to get into this now. I kind of
want to get into it. You got like three grand
lying around that I don't know about because
that's about how much it costs. It's going to
be expensive currently right now. I'll be honest.
The school is the most expensive part so far.
That's what I'm saying. like i said it's in the
middle of everything i even talked to the ymca
i was curious about it but the y said they they're
iffy but the problem is they don't allow food
in the venue so yeah and i didn't need a place
that runs all this food and the high school is
perfect now i want to get involved in this this
is a fever dream i had one day at work i'm not
even joking i just had one day I've literally
made a card and that's as far as I go because
I'm like, this is never going to happen. And
I just put it aside. I was talking to Ethan Scott
about this. Ethan Scott and I were like, he's
got a good mind for this, by the way. And Ethan
was kind of like, yo, brother, what if we do
this and this instead? We can add this in there.
Then next time you can do this. And I was like,
shut up. That's good. Keith is doing a yearly
wrestling company. That's cool. Cool. What's
it called? I'll look into it. Oh, that's... Okay,
never mind. Yes, I know it. Unfortunately, we're
all busy. Maybe next year, Keith. Maybe next
year. Now I kind of want to get into it. Sorry
about that. It's not as bad as mine was before.
Oh my gosh, now I kind of want to get... I kind
of want to... I get random ideas, man. They sometimes
work. They sometimes are bad. Literally, the
farthest was the card, and then that's it. It's
like, nope, nope, nope. Never gonna do that.
That's just the card I came up with. Of course,
what's the old adage? Card subject to change.
I don't know what would happen. I'm trying to
think. I really want to bring people who haven't
been seen in Maine a lot. I know Johnny's around.
If you want to do a smaller show, That could
fit maybe 100, 150 in there. The karate school
that's right next to Pat's might be... I didn't
even look up there. That actually might not be...
That might be something else now. Are you talking
about Pat's Pizza? There's Pat's Pizza and then
literally the next... Oh, you're talking up to
the right if you're driving... No, out to the
left. Which way are you driving? You go past
Pat's and then to the left. It used to be a karate
school. I don't know if it's still a karate school.
It is. It's on the right, though. You get it
backwards. The one I'm thinking about is on the
left. You take a left because somebody lives
down that area. You take a left and it's literally
a bunch of buildings. The karate school was there.
I think it might be... I think it's still there.
Police station or something like that now. Oh,
yeah, that's the police station. Yeah. When I
was going there, it wasn't police station. It
was cry school. Yeah, it's definitely police
station now. But there is a cry school going
to Bar Harbor. Yeah, that's the other direction.
Yeah. Oh, well. Finish your cards. I'm sorry.
That was it. Oh, that was it? I don't have the
sixth match yet. That was just five matches.
I had to change the first match. The question,
if you ran a school, would you be in it? Not
the first one. I would just be broader. If I
ran the first one and got successful and made
enough money to run the second one, I might throw
myself in a tag match or something in the second
one. Nothing big. the only reason I don't want
to be in matches in my own show is the same reason
I hate running music when I'm wrestling on a
show. Right. It's because I need to be able to
concentrate on one thing or another. Um, don't
get me wrong. I don't mind running music on a
show that I'm also working on. Uh, ring wars
is probably going to happen a few times like
that. Cause I'm the official music guy for ring
wars now. And that's, that's fine. But at the
same point, I'm like, you know, it's like, it's
tough to kind of get everything together sometimes.
Yeah, I understand that. Did you do that IWU
show, by the way? Yes. Oh, you are? I won't be
there. I'm doing Larry's show. Yeah, no, I got
asked when it first came. No one asked me? Well,
the only reason why I got asked is because the
opponent that I'm wrestling especially requested
me. Ah, yep. No one asked me. I'm sorry. That's
fine. Not cool enough to be in the cool club,
apparently. Were you ever even at an IWE show?
No, I was never. Yeah, see, I was always at IWE
shows. I sat in the front row right next to Nakia,
and then I went over to Jester's after. Eric
made these things called mutinies, which are
dangerous as hell. I drank a bunch of those,
and I don't remember much tonight beyond that.
No, I wouldn't be surprised if he... If he gets
regular ring wars and starts running on W again.
So I think it's going to just, this is going
to just be a throwback show. Um, and kind of
like a one -time only thing. And then he'll do
keep doing a ring wars. Cause ring wars makes
more sense. It's like everyone in the state.
I just want, I'm just, I just wanted to be at
IWE. Cause I'm a, I've never been in it and be,
I can say I was on an IWE show. So that'd be
fun. I was working my way up to that, that point
and ended up, Hey, there might be a spot open
now. So. Somebody was supposed to be on it unless
it got filled already. Who was that? I think
they backed out. Two people. Probably in the
chat. That's fine. But it might already got filled.
I don't know. I was talking to Eric about it
too. Again, I'm on Larry's show. Larry booked
me. I tell people this. I'm like, whoever books
me first is who gets me. I was talking to Eric
about it too and he goes, as soon as the poster
went live, I had everybody reaching out to me
like, am I going to be on the show? It's like,
motherfuckers, I asked you a while ago and you
guys didn't want anything to do with it. Here's
the thing. I took pleasure in the downfall of
IWE, and I feel bad about that. I can understand
with the later one. At the time, it wasn't what
it should have been. It should have still been
fun. It was. It was a fun alternative. It was
another place for people to go and work and be
able to do stuff. I watched guys like BRG there
before I knew who the hell they were. Or Malik
Logan and I would go back and forth. on those
shows for months before I ever got in the ring.
Then it took another year and a half before him
and I actually scored off in the ring once I
got in the ring. I took pleasure in something
I shouldn't have took pleasure in. I kind of
feel bad about that now, honestly. I will say
that. Do you feel bad about AEW? Sometimes I
do. I will be honest. I've said it a thousand
times. Again, I don't hate AEW. I just want them
to be better. I don't have great talent. I hate
the booking. That's it. WWE right now, same thing.
I don't like all their booking decisions. There's
some shit I watch them do and I'm just like,
what the actual fuck? I think JP was saying last
week was the Dragon and AJ Styles AI decision.
What the fuck is that? I'm going to left turn
here for a split second. Here's something I would
have done, right? So, do you remember... This
was years and years and years ago. Actually,
hold on. Let's grab a prop. Prop. I'm going to
grab this. You recognize this belt, right? You
know what this one is. Yeah, that's the WWE...
Was that the first... That was the... First Universal.
Yep. Yeah, the first Universal when they turned
red. Oops, shit. Sorry, Smash. I do have the
fin plates for it. I just don't know where they
are at the moment. It was the Universal and the
regular WWE title at that time, right? Because
they had both, and then they merged them with
Cena versus Randy Orton. Yeah. So, anyway, who
was the first champion? Who won the belt? Who
was the first champion to win the belt? Oh, shit.
Jeez, that was a while ago. I'm trying to think
who was it because when they announced it. Wasn't
it Hunter? Nope. Wasn't Triple H? Are you sure?
No, that was the World Heavyweight Championship.
That was Hunter, but that was way before this
thing. So, the first Universal Champion was Finn
Balor. It was Finn Balor versus Seth Rollins.
Seth injured Finn at the show. It wasn't purposed,
I don't think. But that night that Finn had to
give the belt up, he's standing in the ring,
his arms all banded up. On the, yeah. In the
barricade. When he had to give up the belt, Finn's
in the ring. He gives the belt to Mick because
Mick was commissioner at the time. Out comes
Seth. Seth. I'm Seth Rollins. God, I hate him.
I do, man. I just can't. I like him in the ring.
He may put a punk about it now. We're going to
talk about that, too. I'll punch him. Anyway,
so he comes out, mocks. Mox, Finn. Finn never
gets another shot at the title because Vince
is like, he's small. Which is why he went back
to NXT because he said he was going to leave
and go back to NXT. He's like, I'll even take
the pay cut. I want to go back to NXT. What would
have been really cool... Sorry. Freaking new
glasses trying to adjust them here. There you
go. What would have been really cool... Seth
gets injured on Raw. He's standing there out
there with Beavis and Butthead. And then all
of a sudden, Finn's music hits. Not Judgment
Day. Finn's. His original music hits. The one
that they played at NXT and the freaking crowd
went insane for. His music hits. He walks out
just black jacket, black pants. He looks like
Finn. Not Judgment Day Finn, but Finn. Walks
out and he just grabs the mic and goes, How's
it feel? It drops the mic at his feet. You build
something right there, right? And then you insert
Finn into the world title picture. And then you
give him a chance to win back a belt he never
lost. Well, technically, that belt's now over
on SmackDown with Cody because those two belts
combine to make the... undisputed belt, yada,
yada, yada, but at least gives Finn a chance
to win back a title, you know, or win the title.
And I will tell you, if Finn ever does win the
title, it will go on the wall behind me. Right.
And we'll bring that back up because that leads
into what we're going to talk about later. Just
a really quick one to talk about. Smash. Go back
to main wrestling and stuff like that. Actually,
that's a good question. What would you call your
wrestling promotion there? I don't think you
call it super great wrestling. Down East Championship
Wrestling. I like that. DCW. We got to talk.
We got to talk after the podcast. Like I said,
I don't think it's ever going to come to fruition.
Again, it was one of those fun I had epiphany
moments. I don't see how much my tax return is.
Yeah, you'll do the... What are they called?
Tax return wrestling? Yeah, tax return wrestling.
Or during COVID, it was the... Shit, I can't
remember. Oh, stimulus check wrestling? Yeah,
stimulus check wrestling. Like I said, dude,
it's never going to happen. Who knows? Maybe.
I don't think you should go to school, honestly.
I think if you find something... I would probably
start somewhere smaller. The school is way too
big. The school is too big for a first show.
But I want to be in Ellsworth and I want some
place that can hold at least 150 people because
do I think I'm going to get 150 people for the
first show? Who knows? Do I think 150 people
is a good goal? Do you know what you could do?
Do you know what? I would not be surprised. It
would have to be in the summertime when it's
not mugging. Walmart, I don't know if they still
allow it. Walmart used to do a fair at the end
of their parking lot. I haven't seen a fair at
Walmart ever here, and I've been here for seven
years. They used to run a fair. Do you know why?
Because I worked at Walmart, and on my breaks,
I would go to the fair. It's literally in the
parking lot. They only did it for a couple years.
I think the second year is because it was too
muggy when they were doing it, and it was jeopardizing
the rides and safety, so they canned it. But
there's that open lot at the end that's supposed
to have buildings built. They never did. I wonder...
If that's connected to Walmart or the town. I'll
be honest, the show I'd love to do, if I ever
got the money or the power or the stroke to do
it, I would kill. I would seriously, I'd call
Crowley up right now to do this. If you guys
get the reference, awesome. To do a show on the
pier in Bar Harbor on the 4th of July. That'd
be expensive, but that'd be awesome. It'd be
hot as fuck. But, dude, imagine being right down
in the Fisherman Pier on the 4th of July. You'd
have those people just coming around, walking
in and out. You could set up tables for merch.
The kids would probably stop by, watch some wrestling.
What I would do is I'd have a couple shows, too.
I'd have an early show and a late show. Who's
going to get thrown off the pier? I don't care.
I've been in the water and bar a couple times.
Who's going to be the first one that gets to
take something off the pier? Probably me. Jason,
even the hay baler off of it or something. What
would that be like a count out at that point?
Because there's no fucking way you get back in
the ring after that. Greenleaf would be our ref.
Greenleaf would be like, what do I do? One, five?
I don't know. We should get him on the show at
some point. That Walmart spot would be great.
The only problem is you would have to figure
out a way to block it off so people would have
to pay instead of just walking in and watching
it. I don't know. I'm in Walmart. I'm in elsewhere
all the time. I'll look at places and give you
ideas. Like I said, I literally looked at school
and then I haven't really worked anywhere else
beyond that. That was just my first place. I
was like, let's take a look. I even asked Randy
about the pricing on it. Randy's like, honestly,
the pricing's not that bad. and I priced it out,
and I'm like, okay, it costs this much. If I
sell this many tickets, I break even. So I was
like, it's not even a big goal for it. Here's
the thing, too. You're going to do it the right
way, so you're going to actually put people there
that Maine actually wants to see and not have
a card of nobody who knows who the fuck these
people are. Who's that guy? Yeah, exactly. Jim
Bob Cooter? Who the fuck's that? Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, no. Maybe it'll happen one time. I'd actually
like to see it. I love using that name, by the
way. The Jim Bob Cooter. It's my joke name, but
the thing is, the guy exists. He was the offensive
coordinator for the Detroit Lions a few years
back. So that's funny. I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to cut you off. I'm just rambling at this point,
man. I'm a little overtired. It's been a long
day. I know. try to make this a quick podcast
and like when we get together with all of us
it's like oh fuck it's already been an hour it's
midnight it's like we're trying to go this long
and there we are um so uh we got so mate um main
vent wrestling was supposed to run a show what
next week or uh next weekend it was um I think
it was supposed to be last weekend. No, it was
last weekend. It was the 20... Shit, when was
it? God, I don't remember. They were supposed
to run another show. It got cancelled sadly.
But now they're running a show and they're still
continuing on with that Black Friday show which
is pretty dope. You're going to be on it. You're
facing JP. I am. I'm facing JP in a pie eating
contest. I don't know why they decided to do
that. So I get to eat a pie. So he put the two
fat kids in the pie eating contest, which I'm
a little insulted about. So I get to wolf down
a pie. And then after I get done wolfing down
a pie, I need to go kick Stormy Savage in the
face and then beat him to get back my main event
champion, my main event. Yeah, right. My main
state title. There we go. My brain didn't hurt
there. Yeah, pie eating contest. Okay. We got
Chris Rex versus I don't know who Oliver is.
Jordan Oliver. I've met him a couple times. Good
kid. Of course, this is what surprised me. I
didn't know Brandino was back. I got excited.
You're all like, Brandino's back. Brandino's
back? I was like, what? He was on the last show,
dude. I missed the last show. Brandino versus
Samuel Matthews. That's going to be great. Anthony
Green versus Jay Haru. That's going to be a good
match. Wait, what? I somehow missed that. Yes,
that'll be a banger. I don't know who these two
are at all. Wait, you've been on shows with Killa
J, dude. I have? Yes, she was at a couple of
MPW shows. I know you've been on shows with her.
I don't remember, but okay. Jesus Christ, Kat,
you're killing me. Here's a freaking woman's
champ. I haven't been to an Emmy. W show in forever
because I haven't been booked for a while. Going
back, going back, going back. With that also,
you said try to get your title back and you lost
the title. We got news from the man himself that
he's relinquishing his title which came to a
surprise to all of us because he just won it.
Yeah, it was a little bit of a shocker. I got
this right here. All right, hold on. Hello, MEW
and belt to belt promotions fans. It's your favorite
little guy, little Joey Nails, here to deliver
some news. As of today, October 20th, 2025, I
am no longer your MEW mainstay champion. I have
discussed with MEW management, and I am taking
a small step back to focus on other aspects of
my life in and out of professional wrestling.
i want to say thank you to mew management the
fans for all the support the opportunities everything
and i'd like to say don't worry i'll be back
but more i'd rather say worry because i'll be
back okay um there you have it None of us know
why he left, but if it's stuff going to happen
in his life, take some time away. A lot of us
have to. He'll be back hopefully sometime. I've
taken a little time off here and there. Mostly
injuries. I'm the old guy. Sometimes things just
peak out and I can't get through it. I had a
sciatic issue a couple years ago that put me
on the shelf for three months. That was not fun.
When I thought I rolled my Achilles tendon, it
was a muscle to pull. But still, stuff like that.
Sometimes you need to step away, and sometimes
you just need to step away for a little bit.
I've said this about wrestling more than once.
We all have a love -hate relationship with wrestling.
We all do. We love it 95 % of the time, but there's
that 5 % hate. There's days that hate wins, man.
Sometimes you just need to step away and be like,
okay, I need five minutes or I'm going to kill
something. Right, exactly. Best of luck to you
there, Joey. See you eventually, maybe. I'll
tell you what. I'll put this on the table right
now because it's who I am. If I win the title
back, if I beat JP and beat Storm, I'm not saying
I will because... not a freaking right mind reader
here, man. If I happen to win the title back,
Joey, if you want another shot at it, you know
where to find me. Exactly. I've got the Ursa
County... Shit, it's downstairs. I've got all
my fake belts up here. The ones I never won,
but the one I won is downstairs on my gear bag.
I was packed ready to go to the show tonight.
Oh, that's true. I was like, oh, my stuff's packed
downstairs, ready to go. I didn't go. JP set
the damn place on fire. Apparently, apparently
Jesus pyromaniac with that. Also, uh, there was
a showing that they could have their, like the
first only woman's, uh, event in Maine. Let's
make sure you see that next year. Yeah. Yo, I
was talking to the girlfriend about this too.
So have you ever been in the grand in Ellsworth?
Nope. Okay, so I've been to the Grand. It's a
beautiful spot, but it's a theater. It's set
up as a theater. And I'm sitting there going
like, okay, I know they did theater wrestling
in like NWA and stuff. So I'm like trying to
envision in my head how he's going to do this.
I mean, I think it'll be kind of cool, but...
It'd just be everybody's sitting in theater seats,
I guess. Yeah. Probably have a low boy. Yep,
that's the only way you can really do it. The
problem is you've got to play completely to one
side. I mean, just like wrestling at the dojo.
True, true. You've just got to think the hard
cameras with the fans and everything needs to
be focused on them. I guess that makes sense.
If you are a good wrestler, trained wrestler,
everything you do, you make sure that they can
see it. But yeah, that's the crazy shit right
there. Breaking my chair, apparently. What do
you want to go into next? You want to go into
Cody? I don't know what we got. What? You want
to go into Cody with his AEW comments or you
want to go into Jey Uso? I don't really care.
You don't really care? Okay, we'll do Jey Uso
and then we'll do Cody last. So, for what we
talked about earlier, Seth was hurt. For those
who didn't see it, because I fucking saw it.
It was crazy. He blew out his shoulder at Crown
Jewel. Oh, yeah, it was the diving headbutt,
right? Yeah. Yeah, it was 100%. That's what it
was. I mean, you could see it right. Oh, no,
that's the wrong one. That's for later. That
would be a spear, sir. I'll speak to you. I went
back. Find your clip. I'll talk for a second.
I was going back through some of my old TikTok
videos, and I found this fear. I did an entire
retailer, and I was like, Jesus Christ. Yeah,
you murdered him with that. Yeah. Five seconds
later, he murdered me. So, setting up for this,
like, literally coast to coast. I kind of want
to see. Here's how we get banned from YouTube.
No, this is a fan cam, so it shouldn't be. Boom.
Oh, you see it the whole way. He reached straight
down. Yeah, you see it the whole way, this one.
Yeah, he reached straight down. No wonder he
blew his shoulder out. Yeah, right there. I would
have taken that right in my face. Fuck it. Might
as well. When you're in wrestling school, one
of the things they'll teach you is don't reach
on a bump. Yeah, exactly. i can't remember who
was telling it um but it was at aw uh he did
a coast to coast and he landed more on his hip
trying to you know make it a little better yeah
of a bump and it was not he uh yeah i think he
either broke it or he rotated it i can't remember
uh he's so sorry go ahead i'll tell you uh so
like big show like at the show like big show
was like like dude you're walking funny he goes
yeah i'm kind of It kind of hurts. I feel pop
every single time I take a step. I can't remember
if he broke his hip or he rotated it from the
bump. That reminds me, we were at the dojo for
the last class. There was no class. We were just
messing around more than anything else. We were
running through some stuff. Calvin and I and
Jason was there and so was Lee. There's some
of the new kids. All the more experienced people
were messing around and we're showing the new
kids how to do stuff. One of the new kids is
like, he did the Johnny Gargano thing where he
does the prey thing before they do the meat in
the middle. I was like, oh man, Levi and I used
to do something kind of like this. He's like,
yeah, we just called it Thunderstruck. He's like,
oh, what did you guys do? I'm like, oh, basically
he's like, I would hit a shiny wizard in the
front, Levi would hit double knees in the back.
He's like, can we try it? I was like, yeah, I
haven't done it in a while, but sure. I hit and
I just... rotated as i landed and i laid around
my hip and i just like i laid there for a second
went i just threw my hip out god damn it i got
up and i was like that's uh you guys do that
a lot because you the only people you've ever
done it on was basically me because nobody knew
how to fucking take it we did it on four four
teams i think we did and um it just yeah well
the thing is we we started doing it when we were
turning face and we would never face your main.
Everyone here at main was like, your heels. And
we're like, okay. Yeah. But I, I, the fucking
double stomp to the, um, death valley driver.
Uh, that was about hollow calling. Yeah. Yeah.
I think, I thought that was a better finish anyways.
I liked that. That was cool. Yeah. Um, it's just
our first time doing it. We were so off time
because we'd never done it. And then it was like,
boom, boom, and it didn't quite look right. Then
once we got it timed, it was like, Levi hit,
and I went with the Death Valley like half a
second later, and it looked perfect. Yeah, it's
gross. I like that. That was cool. That was a
fun move. So, yeah. We got to bring Levi back.
So, yeah, Seth Rollins is injured. They had the
promo on Raw, and then didn't see this coming
fucking brawn breaker, just speared, murdered
Seth. Paul Heyman and The Vision are now doing
their own thing. They had a battle royal to see
the number one contender. I don't know how CM
Punk automatically became number one contender.
I couldn't find the reason for that, but he was
already in there. He was technically the last
champion, so that would be a rematch. Yeah, rematch
clause. That's what I'm mad about with the stupid
pie -eating contest. They should have a rematch
clause. Hey, we never got a rematch clause for
the fucking tag titles. Fucking stupid. I know.
Don't know why. We never did. They kind of gave
us the Brock Lesnar and Kofi Kingston treatment
there. But Jey Uso wins. I don't mind Jey Uso.
The internet hates Jey Uso. I don't hate him,
but eh. Well, the reason why I say that is because
this is now, I think, either the most or the
second or third worst downvoted. I think The
Rock sliding his way in for WrestleMania was
the number one downvoted. This one is pretty
close. This got 67 ,000 dislikes on their YouTube
channel. Damn. Yeah, nobody wanted Jey Uso to
win. So Jey Uso's in that tricky predicament
where everyone likes him as a tag. Everyone likes
him as Jey Uso, but no one wants to see him go
for a belt. He's becoming the act. You know what
I'm saying? Everyone likes him. Everyone's like,
dude, he comes out and everyone's like, eat,
eat, eat, eat. And he became, unfortunately,
a one -note pony for a little while. It was literally
super... It was yeets and superkicks. That's
all he was doing. The young bucks, basically.
Yeah. And the bucks can do at least a couple
more moves. Yeah, so it got 64 ,000 dislikes.
That's gross. Yeah, it is gross. Yeah. Obviously,
I think Punk's going to win it, but I think a
lot of people will be a little more pissed if
he does not. It'd make more sense if Punk won
it, honestly. I think this was supposed to be
a WrestleMania thing, and now I think he's going
to be written off TV. Seth Rollins it for...
That's what this beer is all about. No, I mean,
he's going to be written off TV for like... I
think it was like six, eight months or something
like that. Yeah, you fucked your shoulder. You
fucked it bad. Yeah, let's reach on a bump. I
just realized you can see the NXT title behind
me. That's cool. I still need to get Carmelo
Hayes plates for that. I did promise if Carmelo
ever won the NXT championship, I'd get the Carmelo
Hayes plates. I think it's got Finn Balor plates
on it right now. if I remember correctly. I'm
so happy for him. He's making it. I really wish
Alec was in that same position. Dude, Alec's
doing well, man. Yeah, he's working at it. I
asked him about it before. I heard rumors and
I pulled them side by side and asked him if he's
basically true, why this didn't happen. He's
like, yeah. I got in my own way. size and other
things, I think, if I remember correctly. He
said, yeah, I got in my way and now I'm working
back to it. That's who was missing last show
at Limitless. I didn't even pick it up. Alec
wasn't there. Oh, what was he doing? Ring of
Honor? I don't know what he was doing, but it
was Fresh Blood, so they had new people there.
Dude! I'm not joking. Have you watched the show
yet? Fresh Blood? No. Oh man, go out of your
way to watch it and find Will Cruz vs. AG. I'm
not going to spoil it, but holy crap, that was
a banger. It was good. They always do fucking...
Limitless has been having bangers after bangers.
Of course, it's Limitless. I know, but there's
been times where the show's like... But lately,
a lot lately, ever since DLC. Yeah. It's been
fucking killing it. It's been hot. Yeah, definitely.
So have they kept the crowd like that size? Oh
dude. So, so the crowd for fresh blood was interesting
because it was a small venue. It felt like a
Gino show. It was how it was, it was how it was
set up. Like the ring was in the middle of a
bar and then the crowd just filtered it around
it. And it was, it was tight. It was, it was
pretty cool. It was a fun, it was a fun show.
It is cool. Seriously, check it out. The whole
show was really good. Don Freeze was on it. I've
met Don a couple times. It was really cool to
see him at Limitless, and I think the crowd loved
him. He's a guy who's about your size, Kat, and
he can do shit in that ring that's like Alec.
Seriously. He does flippy shit for Forge. I can't
do flippy shit. I can't do flippy shit. I joked
with him. I was like, Don, you're making me look
bad. He started laughing. He was like, why? Because
I'm a big dude too and I can't do that shit.
I'd love to do some flippy shit. I can't do flippy
shit. I'm not that fancy. Don Freeze was on it.
Will Cruz was on it. Seabass and Livia were an
opening match. They're called Post Game. What's
up, brother? Oh, what's up? Postgame and I forget
the other team's name. B3, Becca's posse were
the opening match. It was a fun little show.
It was a good show from top to bottom. Each bottom
was on it. Yeah, GCW is main and is looking stacked.
Yeah, I was going to go to that show. I can't
now. So pissed. What day is that? Oh, shit. I
can't remember. It's the end of the month, I
think. If I'm not booked, I might go. Or it might
be tomorrow. Is it tomorrow? No, it's not tomorrow.
I can't remember. I have to laugh about that.
Speaking of that. uh randy hit me up about that
a while back and he's like hey i got a question
for you like yeah what's up he's like is there
enough lobster stuff to do a lobster death match
and i i chuckled and i was like well it depends
what you want to use and i was like so there's
like there's there's of course there's of course
pots there's buoys there's uh there's catch poles
there's netting there's line there's pull pulleys
there's bands there's this there's this and he's
just kind of like okay that sounds good and i'm
just like It's expensive as shit to buy all that,
though. That's my problem. Lobster gear is expensive.
Oh, yeah. You don't want to get hit in the face
with a lobster cage, though. Jesus. Ask dad.
He's been smacked in the lobster cage. But, yeah,
it's just... Yeah, I was going to go to that
GCW show, and my wife has to work, so it's like,
fuck. It's too far away, so she gets called in.
I don't have enough time to come back. I was
hoping to be a little bit closer. It is November
8th. Oh, November 8th. I thought it was at the
end of the month. No, it's not next week. It's
the week after. JP versus Dylan Nix at a lobster
cage match. I'll fight JP in a lobster cage match.
Who said that? Is that Tyler? No, that's not
Tyler. I don't know who that is, honestly. Papa?
I don't know. So, I see Kappa, I think one thing.
And I don't know. Yeah, it is Tyler. That's what
I thought. Alright. So, I got confused there
for a second. Oh, man. I'll fight JP in a lobster
cage match. Why not? You've done a cage match.
It was not great. I've done a cage match, yes.
Not my best cage match. Would I do another cage
match? Hell yeah. Dude, I'll tell you, man. I'll
tell you. I did the cage match to say I've done
a cage match. It's like I do some of these weird
matches to say I've at least done them. Imagine
doing your entire career not having a cage match.
Yeah, I want a cage match so bad. But Dunkey's
like, I'll do a whisper in the wind. Dunkey,
you can't even hit the whisper in the wind. You're
not going to do it. Oh, he can hit it. Catch
his ass. I recall the match and there's no Dunkey.
Larry's like, everyone, move. Actually, speaking
of Larry, I just had a funny thought. A couple
shows ago, I was tagging with him. Larry's like,
he's off doing other stuff, right? Off doing
Larry stuff. He had to wrestle another match
early in the day. So I was like, all right, we'll
just call this match without Larry. We'll just
peace him in when he gets here, right? So I'm
calling, calling, calling. And Larry's like,
so what am I doing to make your normal comeback?
He's like, oh, what's my normal comeback? And
I was like, Polish, Polish. I was like, Polish,
Polish, chop, chop, sit on the guy. And Larry's
like, okay. Okay. I was like, geez, I don't remember
everyone else's shit but my own. Do you want
to tell the story about the cage match? Oh, sure.
I can tell the story about the cage match. I
think it's on YouTube. I'm pretty sure it's on
YouTube. It was me. Who else was on my team?
Kyle. Cocky Kyle and Ricky Williams. We were
the heels. Facing Cousin Larry, Ryan Michael
Coulson, and Dunkey. and it was just i i don't
even remember how it got set up honestly it was
set up earlier the night and or set up the night
before the show before and cats wandered off
and i've lost cat but yeah i've set up the night
before we cage match yada yada yada uh we go
in and do all the fun stuff do cage match stuff
um real funny ass moment cocky cocky cow has
a pair of handcuffs he can't get the handcuffs
to work like he can't figure out how to put a
handcuff on someone because we're trying to handcuff
colson to the bottom rope right because that's
one of the spots i was i was like move and i
grabbed the handcuffs i was like snap and i popped
him right on colson like one shot he's like how
the hell do you know how to do that it's like
how do you not know how to use handcuffs you
ever played cops and robbers as a kid exactly
uh what dunk you want to do the the dunk in the
wind and we just moved we're all the the uh the
dunk in the wind yeah basically what he called
it every single time he goes for it like dude
like don't because what i could do like no one
of the funniest moments i had in that entire
match was i joked with perry von vicious before
the match was like i ain't bumping for no one
this noise i bumped the most of everyone in that
match well it was as soon as it got to six people
it became a cluster that yeah but i literally
was like just bumping for everyone now my biggest
pop of that entire night I will tell you guys
the fam of the podcast, this funny story, was
if you don't know who he is, there's a fisherman
who's local. He's kind of really big. His name
is Jacob Knowles. Oh, that's right. Jacob lives
down in that area, and I didn't realize that
he would be at the show. The TikTok guy, right?
Yeah, the TikTok guy. He's cool as shit, by the
way. I look over. I go to talk to Sam, my girlfriend.
I look over to Mike. Sam, is that Jacob Knowles?
And she's like, I think it is. I'm like, Holy
crap. I'm fanboying a little bit because I'm
still working on the boats at this time. Yeah.
Not, not quite like I'm not quite marking out
and marking out, but I'm fanboying a little bit.
I'm fully met this. So I'm like, Oh, good crap.
That's so cool. I'm standing out there. Mind
you, I'm in gear at this point because we've
already like, I've already changed and we've
called and stuff. And I just went out to say
hi to Sam and I'm like fanboying. And she's like,
she looks at me. She's like, babe, you're fucking
stupid. And I'm like, what? She's like, you're
in gear already. He's here to see you. Go say
hi. I went, oh, shit, that's right. I'll be right
back. So I walked over. I shook his hand. I said
hi. And he was right in the front row at the
beginning of the show. But by the time our match
came out, I looked for him. I couldn't find him.
I thought maybe he'd left because he had his
two kids with him. And his kids were probably
four or five, somewhere in that area. Little
kids, little kids, they don't, they have a, it's
time to go. Well, no, no, what happened is he
was there for the entire show. Apparently, John
Orion came out, and John Orion is legit seven
feet tall, and he came out and got on some chairs
next to him and made him look like he was nine
foot three, and I guess the kids freaked out
a little, so they went a few rows back, so that's
where they ended up. But no, it was cool. That
was, besides wrestling in a cage, that was my
favorite part of that show. That's dope. That's
pretty cool. Yeah, I know. Lucky bitch. I want
to meet him. Cool dude. Seriously. He seems cool.
I like his TikToks. So a lot of people... Oh,
sorry. Go ahead. I was going to say, I love getting
on there and people ask lobstering questions
and I'll answer them. Because I know. I only
did the job for seven years, six years. Sorry.
A lot of people have speculated. Speculated?
Speculated. Thank you. Jeez, I can't talk. Apparently,
half of a beard is too much. That's hammered.
Apparently. Everyone speculated why Cody Rhodes
has left AEW. There has been thoughts it was
the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. The other thoughts
are Tony Khan. We brought this up last podcast
with JP, and I was like, I have the clip somewhere,
and I just need to find it. So I found it. I
got two different ones, one that was almost a
year ago and the one that actually very recently,
which we kind of can speculate why he left. So
let me play the one that was 11 months ago. He
was on the Comedians podcast. Excuse me. Shit,
I had this pulled up and ready to go and I don't
have it. It's on the video. He was on the Comedians
Podcast and he asked me questions and he asked
basically why he left AEW. I have that right
here. As it's not playing. Just one second. Right
here. Flagrant is what it's called. EW, you're
the VP. You have everything. Once again, life
is great. You're making money. You took all the
risk. No reason to leave. You're killing it.
Everything's going great, right? Why on earth
would you shake the cage again? I don't want
to give you a Cody lie. There's so many factors
that went into it, but this is one small example.
Because when I start talking about this, people
try to cite, oh it was this oh it was this it
was this here's what i can tell you it wasn't
it wasn't anything to do with uh tony and brandy
that's a big one you hear all the time that tony
did didn't sign brandy no brandy had been re
-signed roads to the top we had a nice show uh
on tbs that had been renewed for a second season
i go big show which i was doing with Berg Kreischer
and Snoop. You're killing it. You have all these
other things you're also leaving. I don't know
if people realize that, but you had the reality
show, the show that you're hosting with Bert,
and obviously... Honestly, I forgot all those,
too. I forgot that he had all the shows that
was connected with AEW. I was like, oh yeah,
shit. Yeah, there was at least two that he had
secondary. Left it all to go back to WWE. you're
a fixture and part of a vp of this wrestling
organization so to leave all of that yeah it
was just a a situation that felt icky and this
is how i kind of look at it in the end i had
really great memories with all of them all the
way back to all in like the woodstock of wrestling
i had a really beautiful experience for a while
and i wanted to keep the memories good I wanted
to be able in 10 years if I see those guys. I
wanted to keep them good. Yeah. I also wanted
them to know this is the Louisiana Purchaser
Wrestling Dog. I'll make sure. But I had great
memories with them, and I wanted them to know.
So, yeah. So the speculation basically with Cody,
and it still is, is that Cody wanted the company
to go one direction, and the Young Bucks and
Kenny wanted to go the other. Cody wanted...
You saw in the beginning, Cody didn't want to
be a champion. He had... It was a championship
match where he lost. He would never go for it
again. The first six months, it was him and Jericho.
Basically, if he loses, he never gets a title
shot. And he lost. I like that because it's like,
okay, you're the booker, basically. You're showing
the fans that, hey, I'm not taking advantage
of being a booker and making myself on top. The
opposite is we got the... I think we found out
very quickly that the other guys didn't want
that. They wanted to make sure that they're on
top the whole time. Which is why you see the
problem with Young Bucks. Every single time they
come out, everybody fucking boos. They change
the channel and shit like that. They created
literally a trio championship because they...
that tony wouldn't let them be champion tag champions
i think it was fdr that time was champion and
then he's like oh yeah oh now we got these three
it's like oh it's obviously gonna be the young
bucks and kenny omega and sure enough guess what
that's exactly what happened so uh most recently
he came uh i was question was asked again basically
and he gave a little bit better uh explanation
and like i said i thought originally it was because
tony you know he had ideas tony's like no they're
dumb whatever so he's like okay yeah see you
later bye um but he uh explains a little bit
more in this podcast with uh bill simmons 2022
at aw is gonna 2024 is basically be the same
thing and you're just running back years but
nothing you're not elevating anymore you're just
kind of you're kind of here you can't go here
gosh i know that that was my perception from
afar no yeah and i feel like maybe that's maybe
that's a little bit of it. I think I started
thinking about writing a book the other day.
I've never even really considered writing a book,
but we've done some fun stuff. I think it would
go well. Right. And I think that's the, I was
thinking of what would I say? How, how would
I put it? Cause there's clearly bad blood, but
there's also clearly respect and love. And in
the end, the way I kind of see it is, If I felt
disrespected ever at WWE, that's one thing. That's
a company that was built. Look at this glass.
That's the Yankees. That's the flagship of it
all. If I ever felt there, I was a number on
a sheet maybe. But feeling disrespected at something
I built with my friends and that we built, feeling
disrespected there. I wouldn't stand for it.
And I think Brandy and I both, I'm so blessed
to have her. It was one of those where it was,
fuck it. Like, I did way more here than you think.
And you're going to find out the moment I'm out
the door. And I hate saying that with any sense
of anger or rage, but I'm like the angriest person
you're ever going to meet. i'm always i'd like
to be in the top five right right so like when
you said that i was thinking about when i left
espn i was like okay guys you're gonna say right
same thing like it made me so ready for the next
thing to me the greatest i don't believe in like
the cold -hearted backstabby type of revenge
the greatest revenge on earth is success and
i felt like we were sitting on something wonderful
something great a huge potentially with what
i was doing with the american nightmare as a
bad guy as a good guy something in between we're
sitting on something magic and if i'm not going
to do it in the house that i literally with matt
nick and kenny built then buddy i'm going elsewhere
yeah yeah so it sounds to me like it was creative
just you know ideas that they decided that um
he wanted to do one way and they wanted nothing
to do with it so he's like fuck it um you guys
i'm going home right and i like looking at reddit
because i was you know trying to figure out like
what maybe the other people said uh this guy's
saying uh he heard a rumor that cody wanted aw
to be like jim crockett promotions while kenny
and the bucks wanted it to be like pwg yeah uh
the elite one and they got the hybrid of pwg
and gcw i assume cody didn't like the direction
of the company and that's why he left Yeah. Yeah.
I agree. You saw in the beginning, because it
was a lot of WCW in -ring interviews, shit like
that, when people were talking shit, like that
famous fucking promo segment where Cody's like,
this isn't the other promotion. If you're talking
shit to me, we're going to do something about
it. And got out of the ring and chased after
Chris Jericho. Yeah. And now you can see it's
literally kind of Teemu of WWE, besides the extreme
part, where they do everything basically the
same way. Here's a fun question for you, Cat.
What's that? Oh, the... Yeah. When I get booked,
I've already let... I had a little tizzy fit
in the group chat, I'm going to be honest, that...
Everyone was getting booked besides me. I was
like, what the fuck is going on? And then somebody
laid it out. Hey, dummy, did you let people know
that you're back? And I was like, no, I assume
they knew. So I actually reached out to Neil
and Turner, let them know that I'm back. Because
you can be back for like a one shot, but still
not be back full time. But if you're back full
time. Let people know, like, yo, I'm back and
I'm taking bookings. You could have literally
blasted it all over Facebook and be like, I'm
back and taking bookings, bitches. And it was
literally after the conversation I had with Randy
because he said the same thing. Like, I know
you're not back full time. He's like, oh, no,
I am back. He's like, oh, Randy's thinking the
same thing. Yeah, exactly. So I made sure I reached
out and let him know. Everyone asks me, is he
back? And I'm like, you have to ask him. You
said I retired? Longest fucking time, you asshole.
I was fucking with you. I said semi -retired.
I said semi -retired. Every single time somebody
asks, I'm like, I'm sitting right here, you dick.
I'm coming back eventually. Like, yeah, Kat's
semi -retired. It was just to piss them off.
Yeah, you did. You did piss me off every single
fucking time. That was good shit. Oh, shit. I
think that's going to do it for tonight. You're
yawning as it is. Oh, dude, like I said, man,
my week's been... A week? Well, I'll do a quick
explanation. So, I have two bosses. I have the
doctor, who is the owner, and his wife. His wife
kind of runs the side that I work on. And the
doctor was gone for the last three days and it
was chaos. So we had sent out, I'm pulling back
curtain a little bit. I'm a real world here.
We sent out over 700 bills, um, because our old
pillar thought she had said she was sending bills
out and billing people. She wasn't. So we're
literally, my boss would hate me saying this,
but we were playing catch up basically. And,
um, I got screamed at a lot over the last few
days because people got their bills like, why
do I owe this money? I tried to explain it. They're
like, dude, I'm just the guy on the phone. It
was a long few days. We'll say it that way. That
just fucking sucks. Trust me. I don't want to
be yelling at people like, pay us money. I don't
like being that guy. I really don't. I'm literally
just the guy on the phone. There's times I just
want to be like, did you come see us and have
the service done? Then you owe us fucking money.
Did you get a bill from our service? No. You
owe us fucking money. Deal with it. Like I said,
it's been that type of week. I'm a little exhausted.
I'm going to sleep in tomorrow. I got shit to
do around the house tomorrow. I got shit to do
all fucking weekend. That's the last thing I
want to fucking do. We were supposed to go to
the wildlife park tomorrow. Well, that's not
happening. Boo. Yeah, just unfortunately, life's
in the way again. I'll probably button up the
house for winter. Yeah, I gotta get oil, too.
Oil we got. I gotta put the storm doors on and
get the windows covered up. Yeah, I gotta do
that, too. I gotta take the AC out of the window.
I haven't done that yet. Let me check my temperature
gauge. It's 49 degrees out. It's nice. I'm gonna
kick you in the dick. I like it cold. I do, too,
but there's level. I'm wearing a hoodie, dude.
If I'm wearing a hoodie in my own house, it's
a little fucking chilly. My heater isn't even
on. Right now. And I'm in a t -shirt. You probably
have insulation in your house. Bullshit, I do.
I have an old farmhouse. It's either way too
hot or way too cold in this fucking place. I'm
just used to it by now. Our downstairs is actually
really nice. Most of the time, though. It's nice
to see that you're in your actual office, though.
I know, right? It just took you over a year.
That's temporary, the poster behind me, just
because it was a blank wall. It was duct taped
up. It fell down, so I put it back up. But I'm
going to take it back down because it's going
to be a shelf behind me with all the belts on
it and probably some figures and stuff. This
is temporary. This is going to move somewhere
else. I don't know where. That is unfortunately
permanent. I'm going to put a new flag in front
of it, though. That's a storage unit that I kind
of have to leave in here because we have no other
place to put it. Slap some wrestling shit on
it. I actually have a... I'm either going to
put my pirate flag over it. It says time flies
when we're having rum. Or I'm going to put either
the Stark or the Greyjoy flag over it. Or my
MSP flag. I get four flags. I can pick one and
throw it over. There you go. Alright, do your
fucking plugs. Let's get out of here. Alright,
you can find me on all social media platforms
at D -O -T -D -N -I -X as Top Shelf Troy Nesslin
would say. Dot Nix. I laughed when he said that
to me the other day. And I was like, dude, it's
been four years. I haven't gone by that. He's
like, not next. I'm like, okay, fine. So yes.
So D O T D Nix N I X. Um, that is Facebook. Um,
that is tick tock. That is Instagram. That is
wherever else you may find me. Um, you can find
me also here on Friday. Um, I think we replugged
that shit. Oh, upcoming shows. Ah, so I finally
did something cool. I have a whiteboard. I wrote
all my shows on it. You probably can't see that,
so I'll just read them off. Actually, yeah, I
could actually see it. Oh, could you? So November
1st, Let's Wrestle in Dover Foxtrot. That'd be
fun. I'll also be there. That's the Let's Wrestle
Cup or something like that, right? Memorial Cup?
Battle Royale? Is it a Battle Royale or is it
a Rumble? It's something. We're going to eat
each other's asses. It's only Dojo Kids, so it
probably is a fucking Battle Royale. I'd love
it to be a rumble. That way we each get our own
entrance and stuff. November 21st, Ring Wars
in Brewer. I'll also be there. Cool. November
22nd, I hate to say this, but I had someone pick
my brain at Cindy and Lee's wedding and I'm working
Phoenix on November 22nd. Oh my god, you got
fucking hypocrites! Both you and JP. I never
said I wouldn't work it. I've never said I wouldn't
work it. I've never said that. I've never said
that. Here's why I'm doing it. Dad is disappointed
in you. Dad can be disappointed in me all he
wants. It's one show and I'm working it for one
reason. That way I keep my streak of working
every company made alive. I have my reasons.
November 28th is MEW in Franklin. November 29th
is NAWA in Farmington. I haven't did December,
actually. December 5th, I will be there this
fucking time, is NAWA Geno's. I'll be there.
December 19th is Sanford for Larry, once again,
for North Atlantic Wrestling Association. And
rounding out the month, NAWA at Skips on the
27th. There you go. I'm not doing any of those
dates. If I feel like going down to New Hampshire,
I can do New Year's Eve, but we'll see what happens
there. I'm not doing any of those shows besides
Ring Wars and Let's Wrestle and IWE is on the
4th of December. You're doing something I'm not
doing because you're... Well, I won't do NAWA
and it's nothing against Larry. It's just...
I am having to wait for a babysitter, which means
I cannot commute with others, which means I have
to pay full gas. Paying for a babysitter, paying
for full gas, and driving all the way to Ucton.
Farmington's not far. Farmington, I'm still on
a loss, though. I'm still running at a loss with
Farmington. The only reason why I'm doing an
IWE show is because it's an IWE show. No, IWE's
in Fairfield. Fairfield. No, I'm talking about
Larry. Sorry. I'm losing money doing it and I
can't. If Larry did a more suitable area, then
yeah, I could do it. I actually turned down a
Phoenix Pro Wrestling in like a walkout. I told
them, like, until you guys get used to it straight.
Apparently, what I've heard, they've been fine.
They had a little hiccup. I'm just saying what
I've heard. I don't know about that. I want to
make sure you get your money before you fucking
show up. As long as I get paid, that's all I'm
saying. As long as I get paid. I don't get your
money before you walk in. I'm just saying. I
swear to God, if I break down the ring and someone
walks up to me and says, I have no money, I'm
like, you will never see my ass again. Yep. We'll
see. I will say it that way. We'll see. Big Cat
Tyler Adams on Instagram and TikTok, Tyler Adams
on Twitter and Facebook. Per Sessions is on every
platform, wrestling, at every platform. Of course.
You can catch us live every Friday, 9 p .m. Eastern
Standard Time. Oh, 845. Well, we wanted to go
around early. I was supposed to be by myself,
so I was happy that you were here. And then,
of course, if you can't catch us live and you're
driving and doing other shit, you can always
catch the podcast on every audio platform. And
other than that, yeah, we'll see you guys probably
next week. Unless shit happens. I looked at it
on my schedule. Am I free next week? Yes, you
should be next week. That's what I was looking
at. Next Saturday is the show, not next Friday.
Next Friday is Halloween, though, so I guess
we're going to do a spooky show. Oh, if it's
a Friday show for Halloween, then we won't be
on. That's what I'm saying. Next Friday is Halloween.
Yeah, so we won't have a show. No one's going
to watch it. True. Maybe I'll go drink. I don't
know. Yeah, everybody's going to go party and
shit. Maybe we'll do something in the week. Eh,
we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. If
not, whatever. We'll see you guys whenever we
see you guys. Yeah. Have a good one. Yeah. Kauai
and the words of Road Dogg. Shit, we gotta get
back on. Red Dogg. Red Dogg. Every single time,
I say the same fucking thing and mess it up.
See you later, boys. to the show!
