(06:30):
when Jerry Lynn had the retirement show at the Minneapolis
Convention Center. Oh yeah, that was a good one. Rhino
is a sweetheart. He is a terror in the ring,
but my god, if you meet him at a convention,
he is the nicest personal life. So I'm sure it
was a wonderful meeting Michael. And guess what you get

(06:52):
two entries in the Charles Chip jar and I'm going
to do those right now if you want to go
ahead and send them link over. I said it already,
how you did? Okay? Hey Michael, Was that the show
where he had his last match with x poc or
was that the show where they did like a ceremony
for him, because I know he had a couple dynamite

(07:13):
like like, he had some great matches as he was
working his way to the end. I just don't know
which was the actual last match. There was one show
in New Jersey that I know was at the end.
I just can't remember if Minneapolis was the last of
the Jersey was the last? Yeah, tell us. But as
far as me, yeah, I'm just getting ready for my trip.

(07:35):
Lots of laundry, I have lots of packing to do.
I bought a new set of ears, so now I
have Maleficent ears to go along with my mini ears.
So I'm very very excited about that. And you know
it's coming and I'm super happy about it, fast and furious.
Can't wait to get the hell out of here, Get

(07:57):

You got it, buddy, You're back in the chip jar again.
He's gonna if he wins that thing, it's gonna take
him about six years for me to ship it to him.
You can try as many times as you want, Scott.
We love you for it. Thank you, he says. I
met him once in twenty seventeen talk about his backlass

(08:39):
match against Raven that would have backlash two thousand and
two thousand. I was like, did you mail me? Email
me the link? Yes, tell me it came from your awesome,
dynamic co host and producer's email. Didn't put you over,
but I just put my co host in so he
we'll get that. You can tell him to click the

(09:01):
link in the email that comes with my email signature
as well. If he wants to learn more. Well, I
don't know if he'll go that far, but you know
it's good to have. So he's going to click that,
and then we're we're going to start. Let's say Scott
does want that prize. I think a lot of people
want that prize, but you know, how do I become

(09:24):
a member? There is a button under I believe it's
under the isn't it under the picture? He never got it?
He said, all right, we'll send it again in all lowercase.
I just did it to the same exact thing that
you sent me, literally, am. How about do you want

(09:47):
me to forward it to you and you forward it
to him? Hold on, we're working this out of the air.
But answer the answer the chat to the chats? Well,
I hold on, I will absolutely Okay, let's see. Yes,

(10:09):

I've just been too busy. Yeah, so tallya under our
subscribe when you go to the main page just to

little button that says become a member and just click
that and it takes you to where you have to go?

it to me and then I could just not in there?

(10:34):

Come on? How much faster you want me to go? Geez?
Thanks William for helping. Uh yeah, it's the uh far
Michael's wrestling channel. I think he was facing Xpocket the show.
I don't remember too much. Yeah, I think maybe they

(10:56):
might have had a series of matches, but I just
could remember if it was New Jersey or if it
was Minni Apple was where the last match took place.
That was where I was trying to reach the back
parts of my mind to uh to remember the last
match of one Gerald Lynn. He keeps telling me it

(11:16):
can't be capitalized told on so that is so. So
I do know how email works. That is the good thing.
This isn't right. Oh my god. Let's see what else
do we have here? Clicked the super chat That is
where the join was for me. Yep, that's that's it. Yeah,
it's It's exactly where the join button is on the

(11:39):
YouTube page where we currently are, and we continue to
add to the YouTube page every single week. Just added
one of Francine's most devastating bumps that she ever took,
which was the total elimination. And this one was a
biggie because we think it might have been the first
time she took it, and it was something like twenty

(12:01):
seven years ago, three days ago or four days ago.
In the history of ECW, So that was a pretty
historic moment where we have best wrestling event I've ever
attended was the night ECW put on a show in
my town, Poplar Poplar Bluff, Missouri, back in January of

(12:22):
two thousand and one, just after Guilty as Charged two
thousand and one. That was our last show. It just
says pop blowin Bluff. Yeah, that's what I thought, Pine
Bluff And it just passed two days ago was the anniversary. Yeah,
Oh my god, guys, I'm so sorry. Oh, Michael's Wrestling
Channel new member of the air, and and I have

(12:44):
even better news. Joining the show Eyes up here is
just an absolute man beast of an individual. I am
very pleased to bring to this show the one and
only the last ec W World Champion. He is right, Oh,
joining the show? The link? What happened? What's going on?

(13:07):
A link? Yeah? I got the email? Yeah yeah, yeah,
came through and nobody thought I did, but it was
sitting in the email. Took me five minutes to send
it and then you pop up before I even pushed that.
Oh my god, No, my email is very sensitive. I
think it's because of my phone. Uh if if you

(13:30):
capitalize the first letter. It won't come through. Well, you
know what, honey, you're a very sensitive man to learn
that about you, are you? You're coming off a big review, Yeah,
yeah for Impact Wrestling. Yeah, so what I think you
got robbed? What happened? Uh? You raked my eyes and

(13:52):
uh the eyes? Yeah, and then yeah, Matt Cordona rolled
me up all the t and actually the crowd boot
they did not want to see Heath and I get eliminated.
But can I say I love you and Heath together? Oh,
you know what, thank you. I appreciate that everybody I think,

(14:16):
you know, because they love him and you know, they
loved him and the one man band. I got kids
and I need this job. And then it was such
a mismatch that it just worked, you know. So we're
such and the cool thing about it is we're a
classic tag team. You know. We travel together, we roomed together,

(14:38):
you know everything, you know, go to the gym together. Yeah.
So I like it because when we were at Wrestle Cade,
you were sitting like across the room from us, right,
and Heath was in my group with you know, we
were all brought in by the same promoter and he
was standing on his chair and he's going from I

(15:00):
know I miss you screaming you were so far away.
But you guys are great together. I love you guys
as a team. I think it's great. I think it's
a great chemistry and a great dynamic. It is, and
you know what, it was only supposed to last for
a match or two, but it's one of those things
where the fans really took to it and that's why

(15:22):
you know, it's still going today. So yeah, yeah, So
it's uh, you know, from WWE to Impact Wrestling, and
we'll do a lot of indie shows together, and we'll
do a lot of singles matches on the independent team.
But yeah, people love it, and you know, and he's
just such a great guy. Yeah guy, And he's just

(15:43):
funny and you know, and even when I think he's
not trying to be funny, he's just funny, you know.
And he's a good person, good soul too. Everybody sets
New Year's resolutions, and hardly any of us keep them.

you actually strive to attain. And I'm ready for this

(18:00):
just met him recently, like last year was the first
time I ever met him at one of the conventions,
and he's become one of my most favorite guys in
the business because he's just he's so down to earth
and just like country doesn't give a crap, like whatever.
And now he's really really a good person that I
can tell and I don't even know him that well,

(18:21):
So how fun. Well, I'm so glad that you and
I reconnected because it's been a while since I've seen you.
I'm not really sure when the last time was that
it was. I think it was right before your your
first was born, your first you were at my show? Yeah,
I was at your show, yes, and you you months ago? Yeah,

(18:45):
we watched the show. I remember what happened. So I
got I had to call the office. It was TNA.
I wanted you there, and I had to go through
the office, right, So I got yes. So I got
you there, and then the office called and they heard
about the blood match, and they told me specifically, he

(19:05):
can't go on after the blood you have to move him.
And I said, no, he's my main event. You were
the only guy that was on my roster that was
on TV. All of us were You're the only one
that had like a job. Who did I wrestle. I'm
trying to remember. Oh God, I don't know, but you
were you were supposed to be my main event. Oh,

(19:28):
I think you ended up in a three way with
Jamie Dundee and somebody else I can't remember. It turned
into a little bit of a comedy because I had
to put you on like fourth, yeah, because of the blood.
And I was so pissed off because I was you
were my big match and we had to change everything

(19:48):
and you were so sweet. You were like, don't pay me,
and I said, no, I'm paying you. The office's fault,
you know. The office. Yeah, the office. They would they
would let me work with some of the people, but yeah,
sometimes they would just price out too high. And I
never liked that deal. I if I'm going to do

(20:10):
the indies, I like to be able to work with
the promoters personally. But under that deal, and I understand
what they were trying to accomplish, but under that deal,
it was it wasn't really, you know, because I built
a lot of relationships with the promoters and talent that
you know, decided to run shows, and now they have

(20:30):
to deal with the office and it's a little more
difficult to get stuff done because they're in charge of
twenty or thirty other you know, guys or girls to
book them out, and it just sometimes they never get
back to the promoters or they want to charge them
too much, and it's like, you know, they don't realize,
you know, promoters, you know, independent promoters have a budget

(20:52):
that they really have to stick to, right you. So
especially paid you what they told me to pay you,
because I was like, this is not you. But I
told him to bring it down though too, you know. Initially, yeah,
they like double. I don't know you can do that.
You know, even if it's a sold out show and

(21:14):
and you know, you do a pay per view and
you make millions of dollars, it didn't matter, you know.
So yeah, I just it was Rhino versus Jamie Dundee
versus Scottie INtime Scotty, and poor Scotty couldn't even walk
at the time, like he had just had a surgery.
And I felt so bad, and you were like, that's it,
don't pay me. I was like, no, I'm paying you. This,

(21:35):
this isn't your fault. But I think I had you
wrestling like somebody else and I can't remember, and then
I had no shows and it was just like I
was eight months pregnant. Right, we like this treat I
know I've seen that. I'm like, whoa I don't know
what I was thinking of doing that. That's gonna hurt Francy. Well,

(22:00):
you know, you know what I always wanted to ask you,
did you ever feel bad about beating me up? No?
You know what, I'm going to tell you a story,
and I've never told anybody, well, I've never told view this.
Oh I'm scared. So this was when I broke your nose?
Is that what you're talking about? Well, no, I was

(22:22):
referring all the gours I took. But yeah, the broken
well that that was just that was just business. But
that was just fun, right the Okay, So do you
remember Sandman wanted to jump on you know, my shoulders
and your managon PJ and then do like but he
wanted me to hold you or hold him and then

(22:43):
you're supposed to grab his leg and you know, and
Samman's you know, not as graceful as you know he
may think. Sometimes I love him to death. And I
understand where you wanted to go with it, you know,
because he's like, you know, do a Frankenstein And I
think he used to do frankensteiners and they actually for
you know, for for being a guy his character and

(23:07):
his height and waity do him really well? But anyways, uh,
we're in and we never used crash pads except in
New York. So you come up to grab his foot
and you're there and he jumps up, but he doesn't
jump up and land on my shoulders. He like jumps
towards me, you know. So right when he jumps towards me,

(23:29):
I feel it's going over and I'm like, oh, I
got to try to hold him so we don't fall,
you know, to the concrete, because it was concrete. It
was that venue in Virginia, you know. It was like
the outdoor theater we call we have one over here.
It's called h was DT but it's fine, not the amphitheaters,
you know. And half's outdoor and there's a great crowd.

(23:52):
And then when we came over, you thought it was
sandman's foot that hit you in the nose and mine,
and and I went with it. I'm like, oh, man,
that sucks. Sandman's foot hit in the nose. I'm like
because I felt so bad and it was nothing was intentional,
you know, you got color, I remember, and I did.

(24:14):
So Anyways, uh, I think black Guy is the next day.
So but I also and Sadman thanked me because he
he was going head first down to the concrete and
I was able to reach back and grab right that
that the turnbuckle, you know, So I stopped the momentum
a little bit so we could over rotate. But yeah,

(24:37):
that was the day I broke your nose and and
I didn't have hard to tell you. And then the
next day he came to me because you watched it
on the e CW Hardcore came and go, oh, it
is your foot that that hit me. So I'm like, oh,
the gig is up. You know, I broke your nose.
But yeah, oh I know that. And I never like

(24:58):
I never had it. Oh no, I would never get
me out of you. But I remember exactly what happened.
And I remember there was a table set up in
the ring and yeah, do the thing through the table,
and I remember tugging on the leg. You guys come
and I was like, this isn't good. This isn't going
to end well. And like I remember getting kicked because

(25:22):
I was like, I wonder if there was a steel
tip in the boots. Yeah, no, it was just it
was just the momentum, my way foot coming over. Yeah,
even though I showed him down took because if he
would have if I didn't, if I mean, by the
grace of God, I was able to grab that and uh,
and that slowed the momentum down because if not, he

(25:43):
would have came down on his head and I would
have landed right on top of it. Oh my god. Yeah,
I got kicked. I hit my head on the side.
And then Chili Willy comes and I was supposed to
like have a dance off, yes, I remember there was,
and then I'm supposed to kat him after we dance,

(26:04):
and the blood was just squirting, and I remember I
grabbed the can. I said, I ain't dancing, and I
just and then Tommy ran down and grabbed me because
I mean, I was just I remember the twoons were
up my nose and I was just sitting there on
the back with these and it was the bridge. Yeah,
and you go, oh, yes, sad man's foot and I

(26:25):
went with it. I don't care drunk a drunken yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And I supposed to He's like yeah, and I'm like,
you know what, I might be able to do this,
you know, and if you would have jumped up and
on top of my shoulders kind of like Saboo and everybody.

(26:47):
But he just like jumped at me. But I remember
that like it was yesterday, and I remember. I remember
getting in the ring with you and just you just
looking at me and just saying, and you don't remember this.
He always used to look at me and he would go,
you're a slot slut because I like slot machine. You're

(27:09):
just a slut. And I would try not to break
character me. You're like slot slot. It was funny because
I would I would make I would do stuff to
pop Saboo and he was the hardest to pop. Funny. Yeah, yeah.
One time, this was after ECW. It was like five
and we're in Jersey someplace and it was like a

(27:32):
theater setting and it was like forty five minutes east
of uh maybe a half hour east of Newark, but
packed house, and we're fighting through the crowd and he'd
hit me and I turned around. I just start screaming.
And then he came to me and I didn't think
it was that funny, right, and he would laugh, but
he turns me around he goes, ha ha, stop that,

(27:55):
and and I'm like, oh my god, he laughed. So
he punches me again. And I just start scream and
even louder, and he was laughing even more so he's
the best way he would punch you. And if he
if he potatoes, dude, he got sorry, sorry, You're sorry. Sorry,
apologized before he hit me. Yes, I'm like, wait, that's

(28:16):
supposed to come after. He was great. I mean everybody
always says like who was your favorite to work with?
Everybody was so good in that locker room, Like there
really wasn't like a bad person, you know what I mean, Like,
did you did you ever have an instance that you
were like, oh god, like it messed up so bad

(28:39):
that it threw you off? And like like House Show TV,
Like did you ever just stop and say no professionals
off people? Everybody? Everybody was great. I remember the one
time Sandman and knew Jack got into a fight and

(29:00):
and uh, it escalated quick because normally they you know people,
you know, the guys would just go off and fight
off on their own and and that was that, you know,
even in other companies. But they got into a fight,
and that threw me off because I'm like, you know,
why would you just you know, like, but it it
escalated real quick, like in the ring, No it was

(29:21):
in the back. It was in the guy's locker room.
Oh that's yeah, I was there. Yeah, that's the night
that I screamed and Dreamer was holding the merch money
and he dropped it. Yeah, he dropped it because he
heard me screaming. And a fan picked up the merch

(29:42):
money and r yeah yeah, yeah, you know. And and
it was just two two men, you know. Like I said,
it escalated quick and and uh they always loved each other,
so it was it wasn't you know, bad, and it
was over with. And I think more so I was
getting out of the shower and I was getting dressed,

(30:04):
or it was before I took a shower, and I
was packing all my bags and then my bag got
kicked and everything went everywhere. I think that's what upset
me the most, maybe not them actually fighting, but yeah,
I gotta pack this all over again. Were you were
you in the ring when when Hack got naked in Pensacola?

(30:25):
Were you in that age? I was in that match? Yeah, okay,
so we watched it. We did it at the watch
along and he's like completely naked. I know, my big
cane and this is my little queen. That was awesome. Yeah.
And then him and Jack, didn't him and Jack get No,
that was a pay per view him. No, him and

(30:47):
Jack got into a fight afterwards in the bathroom. Yeah
because uh not Jack Victory. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
And then because he came around and he whacked Victory
in the uh when he wasn't paying attention, and he
got his ear and ripped out his ear ring. And

(31:09):
remember remember that, I remember that. And and then he
called them off to the back and and uh they
got in a fight in the bathroom and I think
Van Damn pulled him apart and it was done, you know.
But yeah, that was that whole night because uh, I

(31:30):
was I think I was traveling with Hack that lootle. Yeah,
so so he was drunk from you know, we were
because we yeah, because we stopped and got oysters and
I didn't like oysters. That did you have a double
date or something? Why, that's why he was so uh,

(31:56):
you know, wanting to drop his trousers because he was
killing the groove of the oyster. No. Yeah, because actually
I think Rob was No, Rob was at the same
hotel or something. I think that was the same loop
because uh, sam Man got a big escalator or no,

(32:17):
it was a I know, the Florida Loop. But where
were we pensa Pensacola. And I'll never forget it because
when we were in the locker room, it was early.
I mean we were there at like noon for summer.
We were there really early. And I remember we were
all sitting in the locker room and I was sitting
facing this way and he came up behind me and
he was naked. He put his penis on my shoulder

(32:43):
and I'm franzy and turned around and I and everybody
giggle it. And I knew I felt something, but I
assumed it might have been his penis, and I was like,
get it off me. I'm not turning around and get me.
He thought it was hysterical, and he was brushing and
brushing his pubic hair with the girl's hair brushing. Well,

(33:05):
do you know why he did that? What put it
on my shoulder? No? He ate a noister. He was
romantic wrutching the pubic hair. We're running out of options
here right, well, he said, because if you remember, I
think we had to be there early because Paul had
a meeting right because the checks were late. And remember

(33:26):
New Jackie looked out the window because you could see
the water, right, I see the money coming on the
boat or whatever, you know, joking around and explain, you know,
the money's moving here. I forget exactly Paul's speech, but
and the checks weren't terribly behind, but they were a
week or two. He'd hit a couple and catch up.

(33:48):
And but anyways, so sam Man later told I don't
I don't know if he told me this or if
I an interview or I don't know how far it
wasn't too much later after the incident, I don't think,
but he said he he did all that to take
the heat off of Paul, you know, because everybody, you

(34:09):
know it was tired of checks, you know, being late
or whatever. And and so that's what he said the
motive behind getting naked was and it just escalated from there,
and by the time he got to the ring, he
was so hammered. I remember being in the ring, and
I'll tell you another good story about this. I don't
know if I've ever said anything about that, but but

(34:30):
I remember him coming through the crowd and he looks
at Dreamery goes, I'm so aft, Uh, I'm so f
and drunk. Right, I'm like this is going to be
a great match, right, so just went down. Right. So
here's here's something I don't think I've ever talked about,

(34:52):
but because you know, I don't want to admit I
was I was still a little green man. You know.
It was only five years in the business, and you know,
still I'm green. But I forget, I forget what the
actual finish was. Right. So Hack's doing a couple of things,
and by this time, the whole the whole match, we
just want to get out of there, you know, and

(35:13):
we we gave some time, and uh, I mean, everything's
just getting sideways. So I kept kicking out right, and
then finally he hits you know, the finish whatever it
was one, two three, and Dreamer was like, why were
you kicking out? I go because it wasn't the finish.
He called it doesn't matter when when stuff gets terrible

(35:36):
like you did, you know, and goes Salved real quick.
He goes just you know, let's want two three and
get out of there, you know, Rob. Because it was
one of those events that go down in history. This
was a classic moment of anything can happen at a
house show, right right right, unscripted. We didn't have to

(35:57):
follow any rules. I think I had already worked. So
I was sitting like there was a stage. I was
sitting just watching through the curtain and I could not
believe what. I was just like, oh my god. Like
at one point he went and he grabbed Jazz and
tried to bring Jazz to the ring and she had

(36:17):
no part of it and she ran to the back.
Oh it was a mess. And like your face like
you looked confused, but you're trying to look mean, but
then you would look confused and look and then you
know it's trying to be Krena and he's looking around
and then Tommy, you could just tell his pure disgusted,
Like his face was just fuming. And I'm just like,

(36:37):
are they bringing it home? Like are they going to work?
And yeah, tried to work a little bit. You know.
It was like it was amazing. It was so good.
And you know what was funny is because we had
we had I think it was eight man or or

(37:00):
yeah it was Amen, Yeah, okay, I remember, and it
was like the week before we had uh we had
the same matt you know, the same competitors, you know,
people involved, and it went great and it was in Dayton.
I'm sorry, Columbus, Ohio. And we were up first too
because Raven and Pac and Dreamer and and whoever was

(37:25):
in Krena and it was just great. And then they say, Paul,
you've got to check this match out. This is the
main event anywhere, so we'll throw it in there in
the main event. And and then that happened. So it
never happened to get that match. But yeah, in in Columbus, Ohio,
it was that small building we'd run, but it would
just be packed and just intense and yeah, and uh

(37:47):
it went, uh it, it went awesome and uh yeah,
and then check this one out came and here's my
that came DVD is ECW Pensacola, Florida. Sandman gets Naked.
That's what it says on the DVD. Yeah, so the match,

(38:12):
the matches out there or no way. Yeah, we do
watch alongs every week on the Patreon and I made
sure to put that on as one of the matches
we watched because I told I was telling Chad. I said,
you know, I was there live and it was amazing,
so if you've never seen it, you have to check
this down. He was just like, what the hell am

(38:33):
I watching, I was like, I don't even know. I
couldn't even tell you. But it's that kind of stuff
that like made E. C. W just so different and special.
Like like I always I always tell people if it
sounds so corny, but if you weren't a part of
our locker room, you wouldn't understand. You don't get it.

(38:55):
And you had to be one of the boys in
our locker room to understand everything we went through together, right,
some of the stuff you can't make it up, like
it's so bizarre. I remember him using uh, I think
it was don Marie's brush. Yeah, and she's like, well,

(39:17):
I'm never going to use that again, you know. And
a lot of people were put off by his antics
in the locker room because remember it was like this
big open, yeah you know room that week windows and yeah,
it was just you know, and and I understand, you know,
his motive behind you know, when he said he was
trying to get the heat off of Paul, right, you know,

(39:39):
I mean, if that's honest, that's nice of them. But
I just thought he was just wasted to oh he
was wasted. Yeah, I think he had to get wasted
to do all that stuff, right, I mean that's really
Oh my god, that's so crazy. There's a question for
you ten dollars super Chat Michael's wrestling channel says, Hey, Rhino,

(40:00):
I remember meeting you back in mayor June of twenty
thirteen at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Chad wants to know
who did you face it that show? Because I am
thinking x POC. Do you remember that show if it's
Jerry Lynn's retirement match? I haven't. I don't think I've
wrestled the Xpot since WWE. Yeah. Yeah, I said Jerry

(40:23):
Lynn faced x Pot in Jerry Lynn's retirement match, not
running up? Yeah. Oh, I think that's because meeting you
back in because I know I don't do a lot
of It was Minneapolis Convention Yeah, I remember, Uh who
did I wrestle? I remember who was sitting next to

(40:47):
Alice now at the Gimmick table. Yeah. So okay, Well, Michael,
thank you for your question. Tell us about the company
that you run now, oh called IWR Insane Wrestling Revolution,
and we want to try to get you in Francine.
I well, the last message I got was let me

(41:08):
talk to my business partner, and that was like a
week ago. Yeah, I've been well. I had a show
the twenty eighth, twenty ninth, thirty first of December and
the third for I think it was a six day
loop up in Canada. Then I got home and then

(41:31):
I healed you and said, hey, right, and then I'm like,
for sure kidding though, don't take my text talk. I
thought you meant this, asked to do this. Oh no, No,
I wanted you for this because you said you would
do it from the arena. I thought you were talking
about yeah, and then uh, and then I left for TV.
I drove down there three or four days ago. So

(41:53):
how often how often do you work for Impact? Like
is it once a month that you guys travel for them?
And then I'm it's twice a month, you know. They
you know, an Impact has been great. I mean it's
uh the more runs it. And he's really built a
solid locker room. And you know when talent comes and goes,
he always you know, uh, you know, keeps a good

(42:14):
solid locker room. They'll bring in fresh talent and stuff
and younger guys and and uh you know they'll have
veterans to work with the younger guys and yeah, you
so it's it and and the cool thing about it
is is they they find a way to get all
the talent on TV. You know, so that's very important
because you know, they know they're talented, so that's why

(42:37):
they're there. But you know, sometimes other places, you know,
you're not overexposed. You know, it's like you're not overexposed there.
So sometimes you know, you know, people are always in
every segment. It's just like all right, come on, you know,
and half the rosters and on the TV products, so

(42:59):
you know, they do a good deal that putting people on.
I got to go to a like an after party
and it was just Impact people and most of the
people I never met in my life, and I said, oh,
they're not going to want to I'm old, Like, they're
not going to want to talk to me, and let

(43:19):
me tell me. Oh, they were the best. The girls
I loved. All the girls that were in that room
were awesome. The guys were the sweetest, Like there was
twenty two people in the room. Shane and I were
like the oldest people sitting. It was so fun and
I was getting flashbacks to the nineties and I was like,
I want to be an impact. These kids are fun,

(43:40):
like seemed like such a great locker room to be Oh,
it is, it is and that's you know, and Scott
realizes importance and you know you have to have you know,
and even Triple H when he he was the one
that you know, wanted to bring me back to WW
to work with a lot of these guys at NXT,
being in the ring with you know, a veteran and

(44:02):
a guy that's been on TV and you know, and
and even you know, I've been blessed to be on
TV all these years, whether it was with E c
W or WW and you know, with Impact for so
many years, and then from there I was with Ring
of Honor for like two and a half years, and
then then I was with NXT. I was off of

(44:24):
TV maybe the whole since ninety nine, maybe the total
of two and a half years. So I've been blessed
enough to be able to stay consistent on TV and well,
you know, and a lot the cool thing about one
of the cool things about you know, online and having
an online presence for a lot of wrestlers is they

(44:45):
can stay relevant with social media and stuff like that.
That's me. I don't do any of that, you know,
That's the only way I'm relevant because I'm nowhere on TV,
so I tried to get my mug out there somehow.
But you know, you know, sometimes when you're online and
you know you have a social media presence and you
know you could be more relevant than if you're under

(45:07):
contract with a with a company, you know sometimes utilize you.
I'm hanging in there. We have a couple of questions
for you here. Scott Smith wants to know what did
you think about Bully Ray's return to Impact and his
match with Josh Had Hard to Kill just a few
days ago? Right, Yeah, yeah, I love Bully Ray. I

(45:29):
always think, you know, not only in the ring, but
behind the scenes. He offers so much, you know, well,
you know, he wore many hats when he worked with
ECW like a lot of people, you know. And I've
learned so much from him in the ring and out
of the He's gave me a couple great like uh,

(45:50):
I don't want to say fatherly but brotherly advice, yeah,
big brother advice and uh and used the least amount
of words but made the most impact, you know. Yeah,
and then but I've seen bits and pieces because we
were up after his match. But he always hits home

(46:12):
run and we're at the ECW Arena actually just worked.
Rob and Bully was up with Cardona and they were
up first, and they had a hell of a match
they did. Yeah, and it was I mean I watched

(46:33):
that because we're up last and Rob and I we
didn't go out until eleven thirty and and the crowd
was so into our match. Yeah, and Van dam is
still as over as he was, you know when he
was in Oh yeah, and thank you for saying that.
But I'm just like they love him. I mean, it's

(46:56):
just you know, and and we went out there and
we worked hard and and that splash is as tight
as it was. I'm sure I took it, you know,
X amount of years ago. Yeah, yeah, but no, I'll
tell you one advice. You know, I was in a relationship.
This is after I was married, and it wasn't a

(47:17):
good relationship. I don't want to talk about anybody when
they're not here. And Bubba looked at me and he goes,
can you marry her? And I go no. Without even
skipping a beat, he goes, you know what you got
to do? And I'm like pretty much, I'm like, that
was the most simplest thing to say, hey, get rid
of her, you know, without saying get rid of it?

(47:38):
Can you marry her? No? All right, well you know
what you got to do. Oh my goodness, Hans, Hi, honey,
how are you? Hans wants to know who was your
toughest opponent. He's thinking Tazar Saboo or no. I want
to say me no, that's yeah. I'm still fearful of

(48:04):
the receipt I'm going to get from I love you
too much to hurt that. Thank you, I appreciate it.
I would probably say, uh, saboo. Yeah, you never knew
where he was coming. Yeah, okay, we have another question
here from Joe Wrestling. What's it like teaming up with

(48:24):
Heat Slater in w W A and Impact. We kind
of went over that, but you and that gen earlier
you love Heath. Yeah, I mean it was great because
a lot of times it was funny, because you know,
when you're younger, you want to be in the main event,
and you know, you're like, oh, you know, I'm not
I'm second match or I'm third match, and you're like, ah,

(48:46):
you know, and you know, and a lot of times
when you are you're like, oh, the show's dragging on. Man,
I kind of want to get a meal before everything closes.
And you know, when you're in the main event and
you're you know, first, second, or third, and you know,
so so Heath and I we're always up before intermission, right,

(49:09):
and if we're up after intermission, we you know, we
wouldn't go politic to get ourselves, but we're just like,
oh man, this really sucks. But with him and and
you know, if you're usually there's five matches before intermission,
and usually if you're we were third, and and uh,

(49:29):
it was awesome. But when we wrestle with the USO's,
we're usually uh, right before intermission, and and uh, you
know that was that was always fun. So you guys
are a great team. Well, I don't. I don't want
to keep you any longer than I can. Maybe you
can come back and do a part two. I'd love
to maybe watch, uh, we'll watch a show together, a

(49:51):
couple of matches that would be. Yeah, maybe we can
watch the Sandman Naked Match. I have it. We just
finished getting out of our eyes though we'll watch it again.
I cannot get enough of it. I would definitely like
to see that because I've never watched that. Yeah, see
we can get it from what is that? What are
those reaction videos where they put the little box and

(50:14):
then you watch, Yeah, that'd be pretty good. That would
be a good one. What I was wearing my black outfit? Right,
it's very grainy, so it's hard to see what a
lot of people were wearing. But yeah, ye, all I
know is he is in the buff, he's he has

(50:34):
no outfit. We know what somebody's not wearing, although we
do have to address too. I just shared the video
the other day on Twitter, the match where Francine climbs
in the ring and performs the wiggle on you from behind?
I did you suspecting wiggle performed on Rhino. I don't

(50:55):
remember where was that at? You know, remember was the
Staten Island? Oh okay, ahead of time? And thought it
was funny, But as I'm watching it back, I said,
what the hell am I doing? I don't trying to
but you couldn't see me right. One time I tried
to do the Spinneroni. It was so bad, but I

(51:16):
was a baby face and Booker was a heel. This
was for impact and the people loved it. So if
I ever seen a video of that, I'd probably say
the same thing. What the hell would I do? Chad,
make a note that we have to find that video. Yes, yeah,
making as we speak England, Yeah, Liverpool, England. Please write

(51:41):
that down. Do you do you have anything that you
want to promote or tell the people where they can
find you. No, I don't do social media? Yeah, okay,
are you I have something? But you know Impact d Wrestling,
so we're you know, we're on a every week. So okay,

(52:01):
does your your company that you run, do you do
any syndicated TV or YouTube channel? We have the YouTube
channel it's IWR Wrestling, so yeah, checking us out. And
we run in Monroe, Michigan, so if you have an
area and people want to get a ticket, but yeah,
we run great shows. We have VIPs at six thirty

(52:22):
to seven and then seven thirty to nine, so we
got a nine o'clock curfew on the building. So we
run Thurda Base normally, but if we can't do a Thursday,
we'll do a Wednesday. Okay. So we usually put three
hundred and two four hundred people in there. So well,
I'll work with you. It's a great atmosphere. We want
to bring you in. Yeah, I will. My price probably

(52:45):
scared you, but that's for everybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah,
we'll have to do what you can because I like you.
Yeah no, and it'd be great too. Shane always comes
in and Shane loves it and yeah, so all right,
it's a very good uh extreme fan. What's cool is is,
uh we we have kids, you know, and then we

(53:08):
have adults. And in December was like our anniversary show,
so we always do great there and and uh you
know there there's a bar there, so the building they
get the bar. It's the f O p oh, that's
the this is okay, I'm sorry he cut you off
in mid Oh you missed. This is so stupid. I

(53:34):
don't know what I was thinking. Oh, okay, yeah it
was Norman Smiley. I don't know, just being stupid. Who
jumped on Who jumped on you? Okay, so that's that
was a tag team then that's fun. That was probably
when I teamed up with uh Lance, maybe Lance and

(53:58):
and I was teaming with uh was I. We just
watched it and I can't even remember what it was.
I think it was. I don't know. Most of the
time I was on the opposite ends with you, but
I remember being with you doing promos together for us

(54:18):
and I maybe it was PJ. You were okay, it
was working, Okay, it was Dreamer, Raven and Sam and Verus,
the impact players of Rhino, Staten Island, New York, November eleventh,
nineteen ninety nine. Right, but I'm saying, like when I
worked with Rhino, like as a heel, Yeah, you were
with usually with Dreamer. Well yeah, when Shane lived, I

(54:41):
went with Tommy, but then I went with Scotty for
a minute, and then I went with PJ with that
incredible and you teamed dealt with PJ for a while
because we were doing vignettes together the right, right, Yeah, yeah,
so I got to work with you and that, and
but most of the time I was getting the crap
knocked down, which was a pleasure. Thank you. That was

(55:03):
a good wig. By the way, it was a horrible way.
I don't even know what I was thinking of, But anyway,
this was fine. It was nice catching up. I'm so
happy I got to see you recently. Yes, for sure,
and we'll have to have you in so probably look
at March. Look, I'm I'm available fly in and then

(55:24):
fly out if I just want to stay and hang
out and well, you know what, that's the summer time.
We'll take you out on the boat. Oh yes, but
I'll tell my husband I have an extra signing. Yes,
this channel doesn't. We'll put you up in nice hotels.
You know what's funny is when we have mail talent

(55:45):
come in and they need a hotel, we put them
at you know, hotels that were worse than the kind
of Yeah, but whenever you know, a lady comes in
and they always put them up nice and yeah, I'm
telling you your gentle giants are we try We try so,
but that's actually my my business partner, Gary does that.

(56:08):
If I if it was up to me, i'd put
them in the account of lodge too. I'm not that
much where, you know, I'm what forty seven now, I'm
going to bed right after this. So there's no fun
happened in this in this neck of the well. Yeah,
maybe ten o'clock. If you know what's funny is uh

(56:31):
Heath and Connor came in and for a show in December,
and talk about fun. One of our sponsors brought a
bunch of food to Maya's. They they have a restaurant
here and the owner brought a bunch of food for everybody.
And afterwards Heath, this is so old school and and Connor.

(56:54):
They bellied up to the bar and they were there
right after their match. They didn't even put a shirt on.
He started drinking. And they were there until three o'clock
in the morning, in their gear, in their gear, no shirt,
no nothing, loved it and yeah, and they closed it down. Yeah,

(57:15):
in my hook or outfit to the bar there there
you go. Yeah, everybody's eating and everybody's talking and having fun.
And you know, well, you know, when you run it,
you're cutting checks and you're making sure the rings loaded,
the venues cleaned up, and you're cleaning up the locker room.
And then I'm leaving at eleven thirty. And then I
called the guy that's supposed to take them to the

(57:36):
airport and I'm like, hey, make sure you get them.
He's like, yeah, yeah, I just crashed in the room.
We didn't get out of there until three o'clock in
the morning. I go, please tell me they didn't put
their shirt on. He goes, no, they were in their
gear and shirt until they were done. I just want
to tell you one thing. I don't accept checks. And
you said why maybe from you, from anyone. Yeah, you

(58:01):
don't have to you don't have to run to the bank.
You know the door, you know. I never had to
check the bounce I had ten in a row. Whoa,
but he paid. He paid all the bounce fees. They
were thirty five dollars each check and he did. I

(58:21):
went and I showed him all the and he paid
all the bounce fees for me. So thank God for
that ten in a row. Right, Yeah, that that might
be a record. I think it's one I did not
want to achieve. But good off it. So anyway, this
was fun, a lot of fun. Thank you so much

(58:41):
for coming on. All right, thank you for having me. Yeah,
we'll talk again, and whenever you need me, just give
me a clue. Okay, for sure. We love Rhino. Thank you,
have a good night. We love you. Take care of buddy.
The fun is he he's he stayed almost a whole hour.

(59:02):
Oh he's so fun. Really quickly we missed two of
the super chats from Tehan. It wasn't a question for Rhino.
That's why I didn't stop to answer. But he says,
have you ever met Deborah or Tory? No? I never
met either. Of them, although Deborah and I follow each
other on Twitter. One of these days I would like

(59:24):
to meet Hermichael, Yes, I believe so. But how fun
was that he he opened up and told us some
secret stories that were in the vault. I love it.
Angel Medina, Hello, yeah, squeeze it in. But Angel, when
are you going to come on and be a guest?

(59:46):
I had asked Angel a long time ago. Angel, we
want you on contact me? Well, have you on here?
We can talk about that if you want to come on.
Sweet heard on this show. Nice to see you in
the chat. Rhino was great, Han Hell yeah, he's just

(01:00:06):
so like he's so I mean, all of us are,
but he's just very soft spoken and just easy to
like get along with and converse with. And then you
see him and he's such a monster, and I just
he's such a good character and he is such a
good soul. So I just think about what I've seen
him do to tables on my television screen, and then

(01:00:29):
to hear him speak so softly and so eloquently, it's
it's just amazing. It's it's just it's such a transformation.
But it's just the art. It's just amazing how he
can do it so well and for so long, for
so long, Yes, and to see him say that it
was only two and a half years. And guess what.
During those two and a half years, he was on

(01:00:49):
top of the independent scene as a top attraction and
so really hasn't been out of the spotlight. We know
what else is funny too. We were talking about the
legend show that we were all just on the ECW
Extreme Legends whatever. He's like the youngest guy. He's one
of the youngest guys at forty seven years old, and

(01:01:10):
he's still out there and about and kicking it and
just he's awesome. He's still in great ring shape. He's
still working at the level he was working at like
twenty years ago. Yeah, you know what I mean. He's
not one of the guys that got in the ring
slow by the way, the thrust Bus did gotten the
ring slow again. Now, it's funny. I just I didn't

(01:01:32):
remember how recently he was actually in WWE as well.
I just saw clips of the Greatest Royal Rumble that
they did in Saudi Arabia a couple of years ago,
and Rhino is in it, and I didn't even remember
that he was in WWE that recently, but that was
only like three or four years ago. So yeah, it's incredible.
What a what a career. He's got a great career,

(01:01:55):
and it's not been any time suit. He's still in
a role and impact this to have him because he
is a wonderful talent and a wonderful person. So what
a what a fun interview. That was so great. I'm
so glad I reconnected with him and hopefully I'll get
to go and work his show. That would be fun. Absolutely.

(01:02:15):
You like how these uh these YouTube lives have become
the Eyes up Here interview series. It's incredible. Yeah, I know,
it's been awesome. These the the the transformation of these
YouTube lives have been a lot of fun. I like it. Yes,
and Angel, Yeah you're coming on. Angel has some good
rat stories. I know. That's oh I don't know what

(01:02:38):
he can tell him what he can, but uh, yeah,
he's got some he's got some stuff up to sleep.
So well we'll have to talk. And Jil, I'd love
to have you on the next uh maybe the next
live we do, maybe when I come back from a
from Disney. So we'll be in touch, buddy. But yeah,
that was great. So last chance. We have about five

have I haven't loaded them in, but Patreon is absolutely
loaded this week. It's loaded. We we started off this
week with picking up a feud that has been talked
about forever and shoot interviews podcasts, and it doesn't seem

(01:04:26):
to be over yet, but Rick Flair and Shane Douglas
are still going at it on podcasts and YouTube streams,
and we wait in both of it in a very
democratic way. Uh, this is not a one way hold
on one second, we have a oh, Han, do you
have another Charles chip Yard. By the way, Han Hight Francine,

(01:04:49):

So I speak the most to Shane Douglas, Jerry Lynn, yeah,
Sam Man, those three we actually like talk on the phone, text,

(01:05:10):
keep in touch a lot of the boys through social media.
I talked to Sabill a lot through DMS. I've been
conversing with Rhino a lot since him and I had
last seen each other c W. I like to keep
in touch with, you know, uh here and there. It

(01:05:31):
was just his birthday, so I texted him my happy birthday.
So a lot of the guys I've kept in touch with, uh,
you know, but those are the closest to me. Yeah, oh,
thank you, Walter. I appreciate that you're going into Charles

(01:05:52):

So there we go. And and I was very close
with Tammy, but we all know what happened there, so boop,
there we go. All right, So what I was saying.
So on patreon dot com slash franccene podcast, we kick
it off with talking about the franchise. Rick Flair continued feud.

(01:06:18):
Shane had some comments about Rick Flair on a podcast,
a video podcast he was on on YouTube. Then on
Ric Flair's podcast with Conrad Thompson, Conrad asked Flair about
that question and then Flair had some comments back about Shane.
I showed the clip to Francine. We comment on it,
but then Francine talked to Shane about it. So after

(01:06:41):
we comment on the actual show, we then comment on
the comments that Shane gave to franccene. So it's a
crazy little like trade off of comments, comments, That's what
it is. It's a comments of comments and comments. That's so,
that's what it is. That's how we started. It's going
on there. We also have the Blue Meani Sorry yes,

(01:07:06):
oh well he's here too. No, I still talk to
Blue Meani, Yes, I still I love Blue Meanie, go ahead,
I'm sorry. We also have the biggest story in wrestling
history is on Patreon this week. Oh yeah, we all
know what that is. Hello, vincok Man's back ww for
the big to do going on over there? And uh,
is it still called Titan Towers? I think they might

(01:07:30):
call it. No, I think they called w W Global Headquarters. Okay,
but you know it's it's I don't know if it's
officially moved, but you know they have a new headquarters,
like down the street right. Oh no, you can still
see it from ninety five North, but it's not the
I don't know if they've officially moved, but they're down
the street now, bigger bill And then I'm not telling

(01:07:52):
you what it's going to be. You have to sign
up to Patreon. It's a watch along. What it gotcha?
I like that? So I said Rhino a text saying
you know pretty much, you were so fun, thank you
so much and a little kissy face, and he wrote
my text wouldn't send I thank you first because I'm

(01:08:14):

do extras with us and it's so fun. So we
have a super chat from Scott Smith five dollars. Why
didn't the og Sanfrey and toymakers never make a figure
for you? Scott? What a good question. So the ECW

(01:09:03):
figure line is what you're talking about. I believe I
got all of the well, we didn't have a scanner
back then. I think it was just like pictures. I
joke and I say that it was a sketch artist
that drew because it was all so old. But they
took pictures of me and there was supposed to be

(01:09:24):
an action figure. And then I remember when all the
the figures were coming out, they told me the women's
line would not sell, so they decided to scrap my
my doll, my action figure. So I never got one.
So there's your story, which I disagree. I feel like

(01:09:45):
men would have bought mine just to have the collection
like as a whole of all the ECW talent, Like
don't you don't you feel like that because that's what
they do now? Didn't we we talked about this before.
Isn't there a picture of it online of your your
your submitted pictures? Right, you're in like a white attire. No,

(01:10:06):
that was for the video game. Oh, the video game okay,
but there the pictures that were submitted to San Francisco
toy makers. And then also, and I can't remember if
we made this story up or you told this to us.
Wasn't there talk of you being a part of the
ring accessory, like you would be the ring, like they
buy the ring and you'd be the figure with the ring.

(01:10:26):
Did we make that up? Or was that you made
that up in your head? Oh? I did, all right?
I thought maybe we. I thought maybe we talked about
that on the air. No, well, the the one that
figures toy company there were one hundred special ones that
came with like a table, a microphone, and a Kendo stick.
Is that what you're thinking of? No? No, no, I
thought maybe there was a rumor that your figure, if

(01:10:48):
it was made with the San Francisco Toy Company, it
would have been included with the ECW ring. Oh no,
I never heard that. I feel like I heard that
as a rumor. If there's a major mark somewhere in
this audience, please address that. I don't know where I
heard that, or if that was just a concept that
we discussed on that one episode we filmed like three

(01:11:09):
years ago. Yeah, I don't remember that at all, But
what an idea that would have been. Sounds great, let's
great or legend looks good on paper, but they literally
just said women won't sell, so we're not going to
do you. And I was just like, great, thanks a lot.
And at forty was I forty nine or forty eight?
Whatever is when I got my first action figures. So well,

(01:11:30):
when you signed the contract, you were probably like forty one,
and then when it came out, you were like forty nine.
Maybe seven years the doll run in here. All right, Well,
I guess it's time for the winner. Woo, I'm gonna
pick a winner. All right, good luck to everybody, Thank

(01:11:54):
you all for for your super chats. Here is the winner.
