Don't threaten me with a good time.
Like, don't you want to have a good time?

(04:48):
So why would you not threaten somebody with a good time?
That's a good point. Don't threaten me with a good
point there. That's what I'm saying.
I would think like, it's kind oflike, like ironic, like, you
know, like it's a good time. So like, hey, don't threaten me
with it, You know what I'm saying?
Like, oh, you twisted my arm. Oh, no, you know, like, right.
But like, wouldn't you rather like, hey, bend over, let's have

(05:10):
fun. Don't threaten me with a good
time, OK? Like, I don't know if that works
or not. I don't know if I think.
It's like rain on a sunshiny day, Tony said.
Ironic, you know. Right over the I thought we were
done with terrible puns on this show.

(05:31):
Oh no, I didn't become a dad forthe dad.
I became a dad for the jokes. That was why.
Oh my God, I thought it was the never mind honey, I'm pregnant.
Yes, I am a comedian now. I got to tell you, man, when I

(05:51):
when I found out my wife was pregnant, that thought never
crossed my mind. It's not like another That door
just didn't seem like it needed to be opened at that point.
That wasn't when you built the stage.
No. God, we got there.
I got. There.
You know, here's The funny thing, like 6 months ago, I

(06:13):
wanted to take the thing apart because I kind of figured like,
what do we, what do we typicallyuse it for?
Like we don't do the show here anymore.
And then yesterday I found myself looking for like 4K
monitors to replace the ones that I have.
And I'm like, what the fuck am Idoing?
I mean, it's a good setup though, Tony, it's a good setup.
No, it's great. And as a matter of fact, I, I

(06:34):
actually cleaned up everything Ihad connected down here.
I disconnected a lot of stuff that I just don't use anymore.
So a lot of that shit wound up on eBay, but like the important
stuff is still here. Like I could still, you know,
send the TV back to the monitorsor the Xbox or whatever.
You know, we could watch. Movies and put it all around I
still got the old school surround system like the
speakers all hooked up so. That we used last summer.

(11:55):

It's not a hard task. It's not, it's not back breaking

Just want you to know it's OK. And you gave us.
You gave. Us picture proof too.
And then he fucking attacks me, right?
He attacks me. It's your opinion, Mr.

Civilized. No, it's not my opinion.
It's the opinion of me about, I don't know, I'm gonna say 100%
of the civilized population. You close the fucking door.
That's all. That's all I got.
That was my soapbox. I almost sent him a picture of a
stick of deodorant after I took a nighttime shower, which I

(12:39):
didn't put on after a nighttime shower even though I'm not going
out. Good for you.
Like I don't go to town, like I'm not doing like 8 or 9 swipes
because I have fucking OCD when it comes to that shit, but I'll
throw like 3 swipes on before I go to bed.
Yeah, you know. 123123, that's all you need the appropriate
amount, yeah. I know like.
What is I'm 'cause I'll be all? Too, so fuck it, I know.

(13:01):
Oh no, like in the morning aftermy shower, especially if I'm
going to work, I'm like fucking 123-4567 and I got and I count,
so I make sure. I hit the same you just.
Spray it too. He hit the spray too.
No, my cousin used to do that shit.
He'll do the stick and then the spray to coat it on.
Like I, I'm stick's good enough for me, man.

(13:23):
I use degree and that shit neverfails me.
Degree. Fucking yeah.
All right. You know what, I'll even order
Degree from Europe because they have a cent over there that they
don't make here. It's called cobalt.
It's fucking amazing. You're empty deodorant.
Yes, once a year there's a dude in Austria, I always order from

(13:44):
him for like 30 bucks. He sends me 5 sticks of degree
deodorant from from Austria. How long does a stick last?
Probably about a month or two you get 2 out of 1 stick.
It depends. I look, I buy a 5 pack a degree
and then I'll have this 5 pack of Rexona.
That's the brand name in Europe.So I don't know.
Usually they'll last me a full year.

(14:06):
Wow man, get ready for some deodorant talk and talk about
deodorant. Yeah, my last like for like I my
stick last for like 3 months. Yeah, I do the gel.
You're not eating your deodorant, are you?
Like I don't get 3, I don't get 2 man.
Jesus. Probably a month and a half
maybe. Maybe you're sweating a lot in

(14:27):
Minnesota. I thought it was cold up there.
Yeah, it is. But we, we had 90 today, man.
Sweat my fucking bules off. Man.
We haven't even gotten the 90 yet.
I was surprised it was 50 this morning when I woke up.
I could see my breath when I left the house this morning.
Well fucking brush your teeth before you leave your.
You fucking beat me, fuck it. Well, you guys want to jump into

(14:53):
that wrestling talk that we mentioned at the top of the
show. Where do you guys want to go?
I don't know. Who's joining us first?
I don't know. This is a double.
Thing Shane Mercer 730 coming out first and.
What's Shane Mercer talking to us about?
He was in the East CW arena for the first time last night.
You know he's gotten viral tons of times.
Man picked up a fucking pair of bleachers to hit somebody with

(15:15):
like the metal bleachers. Why would he do that?
Because he if I could pick up bleachers, I would.
Just 'cause he George. Scott George letting us know,
right? Guard sports gel for me.
You guys use the gel or do you guys prefer the stick?
I'm a clear stick man. Yeah.
Clear stick like the white stick?
Or are you talking like. No, no, no, no, no.

(15:36):
Just a clear stick, man. It's not a roll on.
It's just a clear stick. Yeah.
Yeah, because I don't want the white like that white shit, man.
Oh no, I love the white shit. Maybe that's why yours doesn't
last as long, because I don't have the white shit.
Yeah, OK. Yeah, I can't stand that shit,
man. I'm hairy.
So like it gets all fucking, allthe hair gets all tangled up and
shit and I. Can't think we're all hairy

(15:56):
here. No, like my back is hairy, my
fucking legs, my arms, my armpits.
I have like nothing. It's weird.
Like I'm hairy in just like weird Italian places.
Like even my Bush doesn't get ashairy as my back.
Like it's fucking wild. Wait, wait, you can't grow a

(16:17):
mustache well either, right? I.
Can I got bald spots here? I got bald spots here.
It's like. Go figure.
If you were a woman, you'd have a fucking like Hulk Hogan stash.
Oh my God, I'd fucking. I wouldn't have to change my
pads after three periods, you know.
It's a hockey joke. Good idea or bad idea?
Shaving that around your crank? What do you mean around your

(16:39):
crank? Like your thighs?
A Hogan stash? No, that would be stupid.
Would. Be bad might be a good idea.
It'd be like Hogan with a big nose.
That's funny. Like Hogan, Mania's running wild
tonight. Oh my God, you can flap your
balls and go like let me put yousomething dude.
Oh my God I'm sure your wife would fucking fawn over that

(17:00):
shit. Imagine Kevin walking in a room
with his fucking Hogan stash piece.
Ripping his boxers off every night.
Yeah, now do you? Now do you bleach?
So it goes. That's what I was like.
Yeah, that's what I. Was thinking.
Yeah, but like, you do NWO bleach where you bleach the
fucking ad, like just like the full Manchu and leave everything
else black. But tell you Tony, at my age,

(17:25):
most of it's trending the other direction at this point.
Yeah, it's weird when you start seeing fucking Gray hairs on
your balls. Anyway, can we talk about
wrestling? Oh my God, By the way, Molly
says all in. So there you go.
You got you got your homework, dude.
Well, see you later. Rondo Wrestling.

(17:50):
What do you got, man? I figure we start with the big
news from yesterday. R truth done with WWEI mean who
fucking saw that coming? The guy was just like wrestling
for the WWE title on on Saturdaynight mid event.
Besides The Miz, he felt like the biggest lifer in WWE at this

(18:10):
point, so I don't think anybody saw him leaving.
They even let Steve Lombardi go at some point, so you know what
I mean? Like everybody could be on the
chopping block. I just call bullshit.
I don't believe this. I think they're going to do
something with him where like, oh fucking, you know, like Ron
Killings isn't with WWE anymore,but Ron Cena just got signed,

(18:32):
you know, some shit like that. I could see that.
Yeah, that's, I think I said that in a text like, oh, is it,
you know, he did it on June 1st.Does he think it's April Fool's
Day or something like that? That might work, handsome.
Kevin, I know you got fucking fired up over this announcement.
I just, I, I, I am so fucking tired of people's reactions,
overreactions. I'm just so fucking tired of it.

(18:53):
Like people are acting like there's not more work to be had.
Like he, he's been there for 17 fucking years.
That's a solid God damn run right?
There's other things he could do, other places he can go.
People are reacting like that. They're they're fucking married
to him and now they can't affordthe fucking mortgage.
Like everybody just used to calm, just calm the fuck down.
People get fired and hired everyGod damn day and people just

(19:17):
they just overreact to this shit.
It's sensationalizing shit online to get the reaction.
It fucking sucks, man. I people get fired all the time.
He didn't even get fired. He just didn't get his contract
renewed. It's simple.
It's simple. It's a big business decision.
They run a fucking business. You're not going to keep on
every but they have a huge roster.

(19:37):
You're not going to just keep oneverybody because oh, they like
them. I'll, I'll miss truth.
I loved his work, thought he wasfucking hilarious.
It happens. People get shit canned.
Move on with your life. How does how does Ron Killings
getting fucking fired affect youemotionally?
It shouldn't. It doesn't affect me at all.
I'm not saying it's emotional, but I in my in my view, it sucks

(20:01):
because he is an entertaining part of the show. 100% He's a
obviously liked backstage so he's good for the locker room.
He's AI don't know it just it just feels weird.
It's not like it's. It's not like it's like they
said Sarah Logan got released today.

(20:22):
It's like she hasn't been on TV.Forever.
Well, she's in the same situation.
She wasn't released. She's not being renewed.
Yeah. Renewed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And.
I think Carlito's in the same boat, even though Carlito just
won the WWC championship I thinkover the weekend.
Yeah. Well, Alberto also lost like WWE
Sandywood, but it's so weird, man.

(20:45):
Like, it's weird because, yeah, like most of these guys who like
being like, you know, like not renewed haven't really been
doing much. And like, our truth was like, my
God, it was like the main event.Well, not the main event, but
like, he was in a title match onSenate's main event, you know
what I'm saying? Like.
Yeah, he probably still moves good amount of merge too I would
I would assume. Could be a situation where he
goes back to TNA for now, you know?

(21:08):
I mean, Santino's been on WWETV.Yeah, and he's with TNA, you
know what I'm saying? Like, so shit can.
There's a whole lot of other moving shit going on, you know?
So who knows? I thought I thought it would
have been great to have him replace Booker T at NXT.
Shuggie Duggie. Anybody.
Fantastic. But I mean, I can understand his

(21:29):
I can understand his Co workers,but I can understand them
tweeting out, you know, in response to it.
It's like people acting like it's it's it's this giant
fucking deal. Like these are the same people
that I want to like when their favorite cashier at 711 gets
shit canned for them to fucking get on Twitter and be like I
can't believe they they fucking released Marcos.

(21:50):
This is bullshit. 711's a billion dollar company why can't
they keep Marcos? It's like fuck you, can you
write down they believe Marcos for your consideration?
They what? Did I say they believe Marcos?
What? They believe Marcos?
They. Booted Marcos.
But they relieved that's what itwas released.

(22:11):
Whatever, I don't fucking know. It's it's not.
Oh, Scott George is making my day.
Savio Vega's going to be at the WWE AAA PLE on Sunday.
Saturday. Guess who's tuning in?
Great. You want to watch another shitty
match? Ted's take.
Will HK ever be on the choppy block?
I mean, he's on through a freaking podcast.
Talk about overexposure, motherfucker.

(22:32):
Ted. Where the fuck motherfucker Ted
come out of and Patreon supporter.
I dunk biscuits. Spot on HK massive overreaction.
The truth's release from people who never gave a shit about him
before he was released. I don't know about that.
People have been starting. People have been really giving a
shit about him. That's what makes it kind of
weird. It's just a weird, it's a weird
non renewal. You know, it's just weird if but

(22:55):
if you don't see if you don't see them doing any, like if you
don't have any idea of what nextsteps are.
I mean, after 17 years he's got to be making decent money too.
He's also in his mid 50s as well.
Like he's as old as John Cena. You know He's 5154. 53. 53.
Well, there you go. I mean, how much, how much
longer is he going to, you know,maybe he's getting a Legends

(23:17):
deal. Who the fuck knows, you know?
Would make sense. I'll tell you this much
demolition, they got their five year legends deal and apparently
we're getting action figures. Yes, we are from like I don't
know if Holo one Darsa was on there, but we're getting
demolition, we're getting repo man, we're getting, we're

(23:38):
getting what should we call it the mass superstar and we're
getting the machines. What?
Fucking crazy is that it's fucking pumped.
I can't, I can't. I can't wait.
I think they're doing a legends line with Fuji and Demolition.
Like that's the line. Amazing, Fucking amazing.
And we're talking about a littleretro wrestling.
That fucking cabinet's coming out.

(23:59):
Tony Wrestlefest, Yes. Now I don't know much about this
company. I'm hoping the quality's good.
Was it Toy Box or something likethat?
I've. Born yet the only thing that I'm
fucking not crazy about is that the in the graphics from it.

(24:20):
Oh, it's basic fun. The graphics they already they
changed the logo to the WWE, just the WWE and whenever you
start playing with source code, I hope it's not one of these
deals where it's like, oh, we modernized it.
We made this better. We remember that remember that
gimmick that came out that had like the bwo in it.
It was supposed to be like the they called it like the linear

(24:43):
succession to like wrestle fest like Nick Aldous was in it
Stevie Richards like a bunch of like the independent guys fire
fire pro No, no, it was it was it was a big unit.
I forget what it was called, butthey they advertised the shit
out of it. Oh yeah, and I I like I played
it. I was just like, this is fucking
terrible. Like the animation was too fast,

(25:04):
like things just didn't like like looks smooth.
I forget what it's called. Myers was in it and and Zack,
Zack Ryder was in it. And yeah, I I know, I know what
you're talking about. I just don't remember the
fucking name of it. Yeah, I don't either.
I don't either. But I got to tell you a fucking
yestercade. You me Tropicale playing
Wrestlefest. Oh my God, it's it's so much

(25:25):
fun. Retromania Wrestling was it
Retro Soft studios. That was it was not a fan of it.
I had, I had high hopes for it and it was kind of like, do we,

Oh boy. Kick him.
Get him out of here. Kick him.

The clear stick is clear gel. The white stick is a white
stick. Yeah, they're not the same clear
stick. It's a gel you split into little
squirts. Come out the.
No, no, it's different. Same consistency as the white
stick, but it's clear. All right, I'm calling bullshit.
You're going to have to show us proof.
You got to do some. You got to give us some homework
here. I'll, I'll bring it.

(26:55):
I'll bring it back after break. How much homework are we doing?
I'm not shaving my balls into fucking Hulk Hogan through
Manchu. No HK is his wife's down?
What, what, what? Excited about that for him.
I am bro. I want footage.

(27:15):
I want to see him walking into the bedroom with the fucking end
with the fucking not even the NWO theme.
I want Voodoo Child playing. I want his balls to be playing a
little guitar like with A. What you want me?
To play but. You see you.
Want footage? What do you want footage of?
Of his Dick? What do you fucking?

(27:36):
Clearly somebody wasn't paying attention.
You clearly don't need to do a aFoo Manchu.
Just send him a picture of your Dick if he wants to.
No, it's got to be the Foo Manchu.
Otherwise, ask. For it, Tony, Jesus, it's.
Weird. If he just sends it to me,
that's weird. Yeah, a little bit.
What if it's like to get your opinion, like, hey, Tony, does
this look right? Yeah, send it over.

(27:57):
OK. Yeah, you know I'm the
Hulkamania expert here, right? You got to help.
You got to. You got to help brother out.
I've sang for the man. I'm more than one.
OK, isn't it funny how that works?
I sang for Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff sang for me.
The weirdest thing ever. How was the How was the truck?

(28:20):
Double T? Easy peasy lemon squeezy, buddy.
Nice. Nice.
Good shit. Jesse Elwell in the chat, I know
what you mean, HK, he says. I have.
I have like Old Spice, for example, that looks blue on the
stick. It's solid and it goes on clear.
Jesse is my Jesse's my man. That's that's Jersey Cow Jesse
over there. Fuck, yeah, it is.

(28:41):
Look at this guy. He's a man of the people.
Man of the people. I love it.
Love Jesse, he's good man. He's a good scout.
Good scout. Yes, I'd if I encountered a
large deer when I pulled into mydriveway.
So I missed the end of HK's ranton See our Truth release, but
I'm lockstep with you HK. Thanks bud.

(29:03):
Get fucking over it. Yep.
Oh, you gave a shit about our truth anyway.
What about Marcos? Well.
Who? Who's Marcos I gotta?
Get. 5. On 7/11.
Nobody gave a shit about him either.

(29:24):
Nope, fuck you guys talking. About.
They're $1,000,000 company, theycan't afford to keep Marcos
$1,000,000 company 711. I mean look it's what TKO does.
They fucking release people man.Soon as they they took over UFC
didn't they get rid of fucking Chuck Liddell and and some other

(29:45):
UFC Hall of Famer? That's what every company does.
They fucking fire people. You're going to pay fucking R
truth all that money to fucking do a 2 minute skit once a week
that doesn't sell tickets to fucking shows.
Nobody's buying fucking Peacock.And also fuck the Netflix eats a
shit. Let me tell you about that.

(30:07):
I was super fucking annoyed lastnight.
I want to watch some 1995 raw before I went to bed.
They got like 1 episode from January 1, from February 2, from
March. So when I was in, when I was in
Mexico, they had the full catalog on Netflix, the all of
it. It was like the network on
Netflix. It was beautiful.

(30:27):
Yeah. Why are they fucking their
biggest fan base? Like, I don't understand.
I just don't get it. They're horny because I.
Think the idea going forward is they, they don't think, they
think the majority of their fan base is people who want to watch
within like the last two or three years.
So that's what they're going to focus on.
And they don't think people wantto watch stuff from 35 years
ago, Scott George says. Both had lifetime contracts with

(30:52):
UFC Got. Rid of.
Them ask Brett Hart about lifetime contracts alone.
He's that man's a St. Oh, my God.
Remind me to tell the Brett HartSammy Hagar story that I heard
the other day. Yeah, I look forward to that.
It wasn't the fake Sammy Hagar that showed up at the garden,
was it? It is, you know, sorry I spoiled

(31:18):
your story. We have, we have a, we have a
guest. We want to bring the guest in.
We want to do some guest stuff. Let's do it.
All right, let's. Bring in bro stuff.
It's like bro. Stuff.
I hope not. There we go.
Let's move. This is a guest spot.
There we go. What's up?
Yeah. Shane, what's going on?

(31:40):
I'm pretty good, how y'all doing?
Great, We're I want to get this question out of the way because
I wasn't here at the start of the show and I got my balls
busted relentlessly. Here we go, all about you.
That's right. Here I go all about you.
Shane Jane. Shane is a man of the people.
He's a demon. All right.
When you're home alone, will youshit with the door open?

(32:02):
Of course. Well, my guy there we.
Go. Well, he's a demon, though he
might have to do some demon shitwhile he's in there.
I mean, I got, I got, I got cats.
So even if my door is closed, it's going to be open at some
point. There you go.
All right, see, I'm in the say Igot 2.

(32:24):
They open the door relentlessly.So why close it?
Why make it hard for them? Fuck it.
Why do you want your cats? Looking at your shit.
I mean, I don't they just peel the door open, they'll reach
their hand under, they'll find some way to unlock it somehow or
another. So might as well just let them
in, you know? What about a round knob?
They probably couldn't open thatright?
I'll feel them jumping up and trying to open it.

(32:46):
OK, they're agreeing. Stay handsome.
Kevin don't have no animals. He don't know how.
Hey, do I got a dog? Dogs are they don't.
They don't care about. You got a dog?
Yeah, I got a dog. Oh, sorry.
Hey, welcome, Shane. How are?

(33:07):
You good. Good.
Sorry, I'm just trying to move it along.
We're joined by Shane Mercer, the Iron Demon on social media
at the Iron Demon. And if you are a fan of GCW or
really in any independent wrestling, the last couple years
Shane has been just tearing it up.

(33:27):
He does the craziest shit. I swear to God.
You did something GCW in Chicagoa couple months ago with some
little some little girl. You like fucking Hatter, like
you were going to Body Slammer and then you did like a
moonsault off the middle rope and I was like, what the fuck is
going on here? How do you?
Get so it like that's super duper creative, man.

(33:48):
How does that come to you and how do you get your opponent to
be like, all right, we'll give this a shot?
Well, I think at first, you know, when all that first
started happening years ago, yeah, there's a little bit of
question to it even with my finish.
But now that people kind of get the gist of, all right, you're
the guy that does that insane, crazy shit, and they know that
no one's dead, no one's been permanently injured, no one's

(34:09):
been injured. I think they know now that I can
get away with most of it. There's always going to be some
questions there depending on what I'm trying to do or
whatever. But for the most part, we've
been pretty good. That was GCW up all night
against Rachel Armstrong. That's who that was against.
Yes, that that was in Indianapolis too, I think.
Yes, I did what I say Chicago. Yeah.
What a rube I am. What a rookie.

(34:33):
I also saw you did you're you'redoing something with the ICP.
Yeah, I've been going on tour with him now since Let me think,
I think March somewhere around there.
They run their JCW lunacy shows kind of in tandem with their
concerts. So they'll have like a week long
of shows that they'll do every month.

(34:53):
There's somewhere around there. Who's scarier, wrestling fans or
Juggalos? Man, it's kind of a they both
are on their own, right? You know, depending on where you
go. Juggalos scared?
Shit out of me. 'Cause I mean, with Juggalos, I
know what I'm getting into and they have that on their own type
of family love to give. But then depending on what what

(35:15):
part of the United States or where I go, some fans can get a
little weird too. Just in general is.
That in the United States. Oh, go ahead, double.
Where, where in the United States are you finding like
those pockets of really just fucking strange fans?
Well, I've, I've been in mostly southern and most, some of the
places I go to, I'll just be, you know, signing autographs or

(35:36):
give them a picture or whatever.And for some reason they'll find
the need to tell me about their,their dog that knocked over
their bowl and they fixed a new recipe for oatmeal or something.
I'm like, oh, thanks. It's cool.
You want to eat by the end or what?
Yeah, it's. Cool.
They feel like they have a connection with you like they

(35:57):
know you personally. It's it's it's weird.
It's like you've been there. It's weird when you're a fan
because you see somebody all thetime, whether it's on TV or
going to shows or whatever. And then when you meet them like
you feel like you know them eventhough they're like who the fuck
are you? You know I.
Mean, I guess to an extent, but some of the some of the things,
like I said, they've they've came across with, I'm just like,
OK, cool. I'm glad you don't have that

(36:17):
rash no more. You can charge him a charge him
an extra fiver for the connection you.
Know you want to talk a little bit longer?
Here you go. Here's the price 1.
You just finished up. I know this past weekend you
were in Philadelphia at the 2300Arena for BCW.

(36:38):
Yeah. Yeah.
How was have you wrestled at theECW Arena before and and how was
that whole experience for? You that was the first time this
weekend whenever I went in there, it's just kind of one of
those moments where, well, I mean, the building has changed a
lot too over the years. There's been a lot of a lot of
renovation and stuff. So I went in there and kind of
took it all in, looked at the hardcore Hall of Fame up on the
wall with everybody's names and kind of had those moments.

(37:01):
There's a I'm beyond the mat. There's a clip, a famous clip
where it shows Paul Heyman doingthat speech and he's sitting on
the staircase. So I had to go and go to that
staircase and kind of look up and down like, oh, this is it.
This is kind of cool. And then of course, that kind of
transition into now I'm like, OK, this place is so different.
Let me look around and try to match some of these memories

(37:21):
I've had in my childhood. And that's that's a lot harder
than I thought it was. That place has changed so much.
But it's still cool to just takein all that and look around
like, man, this is is really part of my childhood and I'm
here now. Hell yeah, let's go.
You are telling me I was at the So we do homework every week on
this show and the homework I assigned for this week was the

(37:42):
first ECW show I was ever at at the ECW arena.
Sabu Terry Funk Born to be wired.
So the first time I was back at the arena was like 2 years ago
for I think an MLW show. I couldn't tell you where
anything used to be, man. Oh yeah, it's, it's so crazy
now, but I was trying to go about like camera angles and
stuff. I couldn't.

(38:02):
I couldn't even tell you where that was, to be honest with me
from back in the day now. Did you get you got your I saw
on your social media you got your your bathroom picture with
the. UCW I did.
I did. I had to.
And I got my signature up there too.
I had to do it. Who?
So you mentioned that part of your childhood.
Who is your ECW guy? I always love Sabu, Taz, RVD,
all three of them. Now, have you gotten to work

(38:25):
with Sabu or RVD? Got to work with Sabu and I had
Taz commentate my match in AW, so that got to have two of those
3, which is pretty cool. Got to know Sabu on a pretty
good basis and become friends with him.
So that was always cool. You know, to become friends,
that's why you grew up watching and actually know him on like a
personal basis is pretty awesome.

(38:47):
That is pretty rapid. Did Taz call you like Demon
Jones or something fun like that?
No, he's talking at first about how I did a lot of strength
stuff or whatever and the question if I could do some of
the things that he heard about and I didn't.
I think it was a military press,somebody in the Dark Order.
And then he's like, oh, OK, guess he need to be part of our.

(39:08):
It's when he had the group at the time with Brian Cage and
everybody in it. And how was that experience
being at AW Oh? That's pretty dope.
It was a different time, though,because it was at the it's kind
of like at the tail end of the COVID era when everybody's doing
all their take shows in Florida.That's pretty awesome.

(39:28):
That's a great phone call to getthough, no?
Yeah, it's a very different experience because they had
wrestlers there also going in and being fans because they only
was allowed select fans. So wrestlers were in the crowd
to help with the displacement aswell.
So it was weird, but it was still cool.
Just, you know, being there in general.

(39:49):
Do you find yourself? Going back and watching any of
the stuff that happened, whetherit's WWE or AW like that, that
took place during the pandemic, because it's just like looking
back at it, it's just so different with the
presentations, whether it was atDaly's place for AW with the
wrestlers in the crowd or WWE doing the other Thunderdome with
all the screens and everything. You ever find yourself going

(40:09):
back and just taking a look and wondering like what a weird time
it was like in terms of wrestling?
Yeah, I remember seeing some of those clips and like them trying
to get away with some of the stuff and I wish they would have
on some of the things. And I'm not going to lie, I'm
I'm always going to feverishly hope for the dream match type
stuff. And I felt like they could have
done like some cinematic things with like staying an undertaker,
whoever you know, and capitalizeon that while they could.

(40:33):
And I still feel like they can to an extent on some things that
they kind of gave up most of that notion now because we're
back, you know, live and everything.
But some some of those things are kind of cool, like the, I
forget what it was, but like I think it was one of the few
first times Dominic was on thereand reigns like power bombed him
and just sent him flying out of the ring or something like that.
Some of those cool angles and things they did that they could

(40:54):
get away with then that you can't now.
It's regardless. All right, so we mentioned it.
If you had a chance for a cinematic match, who you
wrestling? What you booking?
Cinematic match. You'd have to be somebody I'd
probably have to wrestle with, somebody that don't wrestle,
probably take her or somebody like that because I mean,
they're not actively in the ring.
They don't feel confident in themselves as much to do anymore

(41:16):
or whatever the reason may be. They just think their time's
gone. But if I had to take her, of
course do something like him andStyles did.
Yeah, I know. I know Double T doesn't like
much with the pandemic era, but I I do.
I did find myself enjoying a lot.
Well, all right, fair enough. You enjoyed the tooth and nail
match. I'll give you that much.

(41:36):
Look. What am I going to criticize?
They made the best of us to terror.
There was a goddamn world pandemic.
They made the best of it. Yeah, but I, I really liked when
the Street Prophets wrestled thethe Viking War Raiders or
whatever their name was at the time.
And they had that little, like, bowling thing going on.
I, I look, I enjoyed a lot of that stuff.
I like the Bray Wyatt, John Cenamatch.

(41:57):
Like I got into that. It was something different and,
and I enjoyed it. OK, Don't try and throw me under
the bus bro. Sorry.
Make yourself look good in. Front of Shane Mercer.
How dare you? Rude.
Even Brownie points in it. Yeah, shame on me.
Right. Well, so OK, Shane, the

(42:18):
hypothetical there. Tony gets brownie.
Points with you. Then what?
How does this? He doesn't go to wrestling
shows. He's fucking old as shit.
He can't. He can't.
Stand up. For three hours, you think he's
going to the Williams Center in East Rutherford.
Some are saying Rutherford hand job.
How many times are going to tellyou think he's going to stand
for two hours? He's in bed by 9:00.

(42:38):
Him and handsome Kevin before 9,hopefully.
Yeah, get around for the early. We'll get no brownie points,
Tony. Hey Shane, I saw lately you've
been going to 01 a lot or done acouple of tours with them.

(42:58):
Is that Japan something you've always wanted to do?
Oh yeah, it's like a second hometo me over there.
I've always wanted to go to Japan ever since I was younger
and I had my first tour over there with the GCWA few years
ago and I've been trying to get back in ever since.
And then whenever the Japan dealcame through.
I've been over there three TimesNow this year and I still got
some more dates with them comingthroughout the months later this

(43:19):
year and everything. So I was looking forward to
going back. But definitely I'll consider 01
my second home apparently right now.
So we have talked to a lot of wrestlers that have been to
Japan. But Lance Archer swears by the
raw horse meat. Are you a fan?
I love it, it's amazing. There's a couple guys who I

(43:41):
think who Tommy Trainwick was onlast week and I don't think he
fucked with the with the raw horse meat.
But did you know when you were first having it that it was raw
horse meat? Or were you with someone who you
trusted enough where they were like, just try this, it's really
good? Kind of the second one Slack was
telling me about it and because I heard about it and then I was

(44:02):
like, you know what, I'm going to try it.
And then I gave it a shot and I was like, damn, that's actually
pretty good. Not too bad at all.
It's it's more expensive than the other meats, but it's still
pretty good. Love it.
What do you find is the biggest difference for you performing in
front of a Japanese crowd versusa crowd in the States?

(44:22):
Probably the way that they they they're intently watching it.
Sometimes when you're in the States, depending on where you
go, if it's not a huge angle or intensely hot or something like
that, sometimes you'll see fans that are more just kind of there
to hang out or feel or whatever,be a part of the vibe to where
it's over there. I feel like a lot of time fans
are more intently watching what's going on and paying

(44:44):
attention to everything because the just the cultural difference
of it is something that's kind of a mystique in itself when you
go over there. Is there something in Japan that
they do that you would love to see done in the States?
Like not just wrestling wise, but like you go there and you're
like, God damn, that's brilliant.
I wish they would. I wish I had one of those around

(45:04):
the corner from my house. Oh, bidets, that that needs to
be a thing everywhere. I don't know why it's not.
It makes so much sense, but yet it's not.
I don't know. You got a bidet at your house.
I don't get, I won't see I I need to get on there.
I need to get one here for both my bathrooms.
You buy one on Amazon for like 25 bucks.
It's the fucking best. Yeah, he doesn't have like, an

(45:27):
actual bidet next to his toilet.He has one of those like hose
hookups that sprays you in your asshole.
It's. Actually, one of his cats don't.
Don't even think about talking bad about my cats, exactly.
Don't knock the bidet until you try it.
Look if if it, I don't know whatthe difference is between

(45:48):
bidets. All I know is is it's the best
thing that I ever purchased. And it makes so much sense, like
everywhere over there, stores tothe like gas stations to hotel
every, they're everywhere. And they got heated seats.
But yet in the United States, it's OK.
That's a good story with it. I would go over there all the
time and I would see the bidets,the heated seats, all this cool

(46:10):
stuff. And then the first thing I've
seen on like my second tour backwas I going to our airport and I
see piss on like Moto. I'm like, all right, I'm back in
America. Hell yeah.
And that's why we can't have it here.
They don't take care of nothing,don't care, no.
We're, we're animals over here. We don't know.
We're just fucking just going through life, pissing all over

(46:33):
everything because it's funny todo that shit.
It's like fuck the next guy. No, I'm not going.
To be here. Pretty much.
Pretty much. Yeah.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry for Tony. You never you never been in a
men's room at like Grand Centralor like one of these train
stations anywhere in the country.
People just fucking suck. It's like fuck the next guy.

(46:56):
I'm enjoying myself, but that doesn't mean not you have to
piss all over the place. No, not me, but you know, just
hopefully it's not not the guy before me, it's the guy after
me. So rude.
So did you mention your ECW fandom Shane?
And you had the opportunity in March like Brundo mentioned in

(47:17):
01 you got team with Masato Tanaka.
What was that experience like for you?
Oh. That was pretty awesome because
me and him got to wrestle over there and we actually talked a
lot before that because I've been on a lot of shows with him,
but we never got to lock up. So I was talking to him at a few
shows I was on. I was like, man, we need to get
to lock up. I feel like I've wrestled a lot
of guys from UCW and everybody growing up and you're still
going hard and you barely aged. We need to do this and get some

(47:40):
stuff going. And he's the one that actually
kind of started the 01 transition with me and wanted me
to come over there and be kind of a full roster member and
everything. So I got the lock up with him
and we've teamed up a lot since then.
So that was, that was pretty awesome getting to know him on
that more personal level rather than just show up, wrestle done.
You know what? Was the what was the most
uprising thing about Tanaka whenyou when you met?

(48:04):
When you met him that he just goes hard still like any any
spots, anything I come up with crazy, he's down for.
He don't care. Even after all the years of
everything he's done, he still goes just as hard and hasn't
toned down one bit. Yeah.
I was surprised that he's a lot smaller than I thought he'd be.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that you.
But it just goes to show too, how ferocious with his intensity

(48:27):
is on TV that you don't even payattention to that don't even, it
don't even really register untilyou see him in person.
Yeah, yeah. Nice guy too.
Super nice guy. Well, he used to be 6/4 until he
started taking chair shots. Now he's going.
To. Be.
Yeah, I guess that would make sense.
I still like go even like watching like one night stand
like with him and and Mike awesome.

(48:49):
Like even after all those years,like you were like 5-6 years
removed from ECW like at that point and they just beat the
shit out of your and we're talking like 20 years ago.
That card was you know, and he just still goes hard.
It's crazy. It's hard to fathom just how
like insane he still is. It's nuts.
I think part of it too goes intoplay that, which I may be

(49:10):
mistaken. I don't know that I don't think
he's ever took time off unless it's for like a major.
I think he had like a shoulder injury or something.
But I feel like that has a lot to do with it too.
You see guys take time off, theycome back to get injured, hurt,
you know, whatever. But I don't really know, he's
took a lot of time off at all. Matt, you got your question for

(49:33):
Shane. Well, I had a question because
no, because clearly if you listen to Shane or you follow
him on social media at the Iron Demon, you know, he's like a
student of the game. So with you being in 01 and
everything I got to know, how doyou feel about this new Hayabusa
character? Oh, good question.
I got to wrestling. He's a he's spot on, like if you

(49:56):
look at the mannerisms of his dives, the 450, everything he
does, he has studied and still what you just said.
He is definitely a student of the game and has he has all the
mannerisms and everything down. He has the family approval to as
well of everything to pass down the lineage of Hayabusa.
So everything he's doing right now has been pretty awesome.

(50:16):
Even the battles with the Tanakaagain that they've been doing.
They've locked up quite a few Times Now since he's came back
and done everything. So that's a it's pretty cool.
And he used to look and almost, you know, it's like a mirror
image of back in the day and getting experience and see that
in person was pretty awesome. I still, I don't, I still can't
wrap my head around this. Like he's doesn't like he's not

(50:38):
Hayabusa too. He's not new Hayabusa.
He's just Hayabusa. I, I don't know man.
It's weird to me. Well, they they put like a some
of the posters there was like anasterisk I've seen about it so
far, but that's really about it.I also know that you.
Teamed with Daisuke Sakimoto. Did I say that right?

(50:59):
Yes. You teamed with him in 01.
And he unfortunately. Was injured this past week.
Have you got an update on his condition?
I heard that. From last I seen, you know, he
was out and he was had a neck injury and he was knocked out
and he was able to move his hands and feet and stuff.
But then they said he didn't need surgery last I heard.

(51:20):
But he's at home resting throughwhatever it was the injury he
may have had. I'm, I'm not for sure the exact
extent of it, but that's the last I heard.
He didn't need surgery at the moment, but I know he's got some
extended time off. That's good news, then.
He was. Sold from the 01 Fire.
Festival for June so I'm not. I'm not for sure how long he'll
be off either though Now I also.Know following your.

(51:43):
Social media that you are. Oh, hello Nelly, You're a bit of
a gamer as well. What is Shane Mercer playing
right now? Right now I'm on Assassin's.
Creed Shadows, trying to work myway through that.
That's one of those games that'slike like 100 hour type deals or
whatever, but I'm not kind of a broad spectrum because I got
that and Doom the Dark Ages beenin there annihilating some

(52:07):
demons lately and this from touring so much.
I haven't got the game as much as I have used to recently, but
those are the two I've been on for the most part.
I mean, I. Guess that's good that you're
busy. Working right and just instead
of playing video games Oh yeah for sure so some.
People though, I've seen them inthe locker rooms, they're
bringing those little mini TV's with them and have their

(52:28):
controllers and systems with them.
I need to get one of those they're bringing.
Systems like like a. Nintendo Switch, are we talking
like they're bringing like theirPS Five or something?
No, they'll have like one of those little I don't know.
What they're called, it's like alittle TV that's like that, and
they have them for the Xbox where you can like bring your
game with you sort of deal. Oh yeah, yeah, I know what you

(52:49):
mean. Yeah, and they'll be playing
like Madden backstage in the. Locker and after they're dressed
just ready to go, just kind of killing time and I'm like, huh,
I need to do that but like kill some demons and stuff.
I really get you in the mood. You kill some demons.
Before you go out there and fucksome shit up, yeah, Hell yeah.
But you going to fuck up violin?J from the Insane.
Clown Posse, He keeps jumping in.
You're you're barging in your locker room.

(53:11):
Oh, it's coming. It's not.
We're not done. Yet by long shot, there's still,
there's still more to come with that, yeah.
He's got a, he's got a boot to the.
Face or more? Coming towards his way, you have
to worry about Shaggy too dope, you know?
He's got his acting partner all the time.
Somewhere he'll get thrown too. It don't it don't matter.
You got favorite? Insane Clown Posse.
Song. A favorite?

(53:33):
Probably chicken. Hunting.
Fuck yeah, dude. Slaughterhouse Remix?
Yes, that version got to be. That version, now that's the.
Version that was at the end of Stranglemania, right?
Yeah, fucking. Stranglemania rules.
Jane GCW, they're going Tournament of Survival this

(53:54):
weekend. I know you're not in it, but do
you have a pick as who you thinkwill win the TOS?
If I don't have to go with somebody, I'm gonna.
Have to go with. Somebody that I've locked up
with many times, that's Murdoch.I mean, I don't know anybody
else who would be known in the United States that would be the
king of this stuff on that levelright now, what he's done in the

(54:16):
past few years. So I'd have to go with my dude.
I like that. And we're going to we have
Emeril J. In about an hour or so, we'll
we'll talk to him about that too.
What do you have coming up, Shane?
What do you I know you're doing stuff with GCW and and JCJJCW.

(54:36):
What's what's next on the horizon for the iron demon?
Let's see here I got the. Hooligan Championship Wrestling
coming up July. I think it's 12th, 13th, one of
those dates where I'm defending the belt there.
I think it's up here on the wallbehind me.
And then we got what else is it?I got another JCW tour coming up

(54:58):
and June, what is June now? And then let's see, we got some
GCW stuff coming up and I'm going to, I'll keep that under
wrap for now and not say when and 01.
Coming up again. At the end of June, I think
that's the 27th to 29th if I'm remembering correctly, and I got

(55:19):
some other stuff sprinkled. In.
The weekends from now and it's kind of hard though to keep
which which tour dates. Are there I forgot what's the?
Tour dates for the JCW, I think it's the 13th to 20 or the 17th
to 21st for JCW. Yeah, again.
It's good to be busy now. Oh yeah, for sure.

(55:41):
You just kind of lose. Track on time.
When you're doing it, being on the road and all right, I'm
here. I'll get to breathe a little bit
of hum all the way. Here we go again.
Now you've. Been a regular in GCW.
Is there anyone that you would like to face in the near future
that you haven't got to tangle with yet?
Nick Gage and. Motherfucking Nick.

(56:01):
Gage, OH. Man, I need I.
Need that one and. I need also.
It's kind of it's weird to me. This one hasn't happened.
So we've been wrestling the sameamount of time.
Me and Tremont, we've never got to wrestle each other, been on
tons of cars together, never touched in the ring, not even in
the battle Royals. A punch throw, nothing.
I got to ask because you were atthat.
Show. At the the 2300 Arena, did you

(56:23):
get to see Tremont Crowbar 'cause that seems like the
craziest match up. I didn't get to see it 'cause I
was. In the backstage.
And they already came back and Tremont was all bloody, so I
didn't get to see it, but I did hear a little bit of that.
It seems like such. A match up I can't.
It's crazy to watch, Crowbar. He's still doing his thing this
for as long as he's been doing it.

(56:44):
Oh, I know it. Is that now is?
That something you see yourself doing like wrestling well into
like your late 40s, early 50s. Oh yeah, 'cause I mean, I feel.
I still feel. Good.
Right now I'm doing all my stuff, 'cause I remember, you
know me like 15 years ago, 'cause I've been doing this a
little bit longer. And sometimes people think I've
been doing 18 years now and I remember 15 years ago people

(57:07):
being like, oh, you need to change your finish.
You can't do it to everybody. You're going to break your
knees. You're going to hurt yourself.
Here I am 15 years later, still going.
I feel like just as hard, if not, you know, harder than I
was. So as long as I can still go,
yeah, for sure. I don't want to be one of the
guys that like, all right, I'm going to still wrestle.
But let me dial it back tonight and hit a few punches and hit

(57:28):
the glory poses and get out and I'm going to still go as hard as
I can until I crash and then we're done.
I like your style. Now look, you do every.
Style. You do tag matches, you do death
matches, you do inner gender matches.
Do you have a particular style that you like working the most?
I'm going to be honest with you,I like doing a.

(57:49):
Lot of. Pentacle Wrestling, It's just I
get put kind of against the wall.
Sometimes people like to see me throw people into the audience
or against the wall or through something or whatever.
And sometimes, just like with anything that gets looked over
because of the graphic nature orthe Oh my God factor when it
comes to the other stuff that, yeah, I do like to go in there

(58:11):
and showcase what I can do. Sometimes I'd like to get in
there. We can talk about people to
wrestle. I'd like to get in there and
wrestle Josh Alexander, JonathanGrisham, just to show.
Because I had a match against Mike Bailey a few years ago at
GCW and I feel like I was, you know, right there with him on
everything. But I feel like sometimes that
stuff gets looked over. I want to be able to go in there
and wrestle those guys and show that I can be head to head, neck

(58:33):
to neck with those kind of guys and staying there with.
So I'm going. To go to the chat here.
Old Jersey, Cal, Jesse said. Would you change your finisher
to keep going longer? Well, my I.
Used to always have when I. Like when I said when I first
started, I had a backup finisherbecause they didn't want me to
do that, you know the old timersand stuff and I can still do
that. It was like AI call it the

(58:55):
Diablo driver or could be calledDevil driver whichever and it
was where I pick him up for a fireman's carry but it's almost
like AF hammer in a. Way it was.
I pick him up for Fireman's carry but throw him up into a
jackhammer, like an F5 into a jackhammer so order to do it and
I can still do that to pretty much everybody, but if I had to,

(59:16):
it would go back reverting back to that from where I first
started. Now you're built like a fucking
tank. Right, Shane, so.
I'm going to assume you eat right, you take care of
yourself. But when Shane Mercer wants to.
Fucking. Go ham.
What is like your guilty pleasure of food to eat?
Oh, just some type of buffet. Like a.

(59:38):
Pizza buffet or something? Like that 'cause.
Favorite food by itself anyway is pizza, although from staying
in Japan. I've always liked it but it's
leaned on me even more now. Been getting into sushi, like a
lot. Just cravings for it.
Love it. There you go.
What about them? Vending machine panties.
Say panties. Yeah.
Don't they sell? Them in the vending machines

(59:59):
over. There I'm I wouldn't doubt it,
but I haven't. I haven't.
Seen those yet? I've seen full course meals in
vending machines which blew my mind.
Haven't seen the panties yet. They're not.
Would you eat a vending machine full?
Course meal. Oh yeah, they're awesome.
Yeah. Where is there like a little?
Man in the vending. Machine.
How long I just got to be or something?
I don't know because. They'll you'll go over there and

(01:00:20):
put like, you know, the end in and get your stuff and then no,
just pour heavy little meals that come out already warm and
ready for you. I'm just sitting there like
what? And they're.
Amazing. I don't know.
They had these little. Snacks too, up and turn there by
about. It's like these little pancake
things that they're they're likesandwiches.
They have them in the gas stations and they have already

(01:00:41):
syrup and already butter in themand you just eat them like a
sandwich and they're amazing. That sounds fucking incredible.
Sounds. Delightful.
Oh, I'd like to imagine the bestdecent food.
Yeah. When was the last time?
Shane Mercer shit his. Pants.
Oh, let me see here. Probably, probably a few years
ago whenever I was trying to geta new PR on squat.

(01:01:06):
Well, what's the? Current.
PR on the squat. Current PR on Squat 655.
Fuck at the fucking noise. 655 and 3 thirds.
That's crazy. How many?
How many reps? Just one.
That's more than I. Can do.
God. Damn, how do you get up to 6?
That's a lot of weight dude. Now you just keep pushing it.

(01:01:29):
I used to. When I first started lifting
weights, it was of course to getbigger because I only weighed
like, fuck, 138 lbs. I'm like, I want to be a
wrestler. And I'd be like, yeah, of
course, but I had to keep lifting.
But then I got kind of addicted to the strength portion of it.
And I was like, oh shit, the more I do this, the stronger I
get. Let's see how far I can go.
And then I just kept pushing, kept pushing, kept pushing and

(01:01:51):
wasn't like, oh, I hit this number, let's relax and look
good for the beach. I didn't give a shit about that.
I just wanted to be stronger. And I just kept going and kept
going and kept going. And here I am today, still keep
going with it. I just chased numbers, whether
it's a one Rep Max or a 20 Rep Max, I'm always trying to push a
number. But then of course, I've been
hurt more from the gym than I have wrestling, to be honest
with you. So then I'll hit a new PR, get

(01:02:13):
close, and then my elbow fucks up and my shoulder hurts.
And it's just that cycle keep. Going all the time like that.
I mean, I mean clearly. You are keep.
Pushing it and looking for numbers like seems to apply in
the wrestling business too, 'cause you just keep pushing and
chain Mercer is everywhere and he keeps crushing it and, and

(01:02:34):
we're here for it. Chain we we love what you're
doing and I want to see you reach the fucking whatever is
next for Shane Mercer. I'm there for it, man 'cause
you're awesome and and you crushit every time you're in the
ring. So we appreciate you joining us
tonight and we appreciate the sacrifice and and what you, you
know, put your body through for our entertainment.
So thank you for that. Thank you and I appreciate y'all

(01:02:56):
having me on. Here for real, anytime you want
to come back and shoot. The shit and talk about, you
know, maybe you check out the vending machine panties next
time. I don't know, maybe you're up to
7. 100 doing the. Squats, I don't know, but
anytime you want to come back and hang out with the shining
Wizards, we'd love to have you. All right, man, I appreciate it.

In this thing, huh? She she lost to somebody, I
think. Maybe Julia?
I think Alexa Bliss's match no. No, maybe not.

(01:18:42):
Well, they were all three ways, so I think it.
Was Alexa? Oh yeah.
Oh yeah. And.
Julia, yeah, 'cause Julia tried to do that amazing.
Like next snap on her and Charlotte didn't move.
Watch Mania. Yeah, she lost to Julia.
And Zelena. Vega, Selena Vega.

(01:19:05):
I don't don't tip. I don't don't tip your hand,
but. Like who do you guys?
I mean, I think Seth Rollins. And the men's money in the.
Bank is the easy pick unless unless Phillip makes it.
Yeah, yeah, I. Could see Phillip getting.
Screwed out of his. Opportunity tonight with with
Paul Heyman and his crew fuckingthat out.

(01:19:26):
It's possible, yeah. Does Does Does.
Phil, take it. And.
And then travel on over to Smackdown.
Who's over on Smackdown? Cena got to be part of the He's

(01:19:47):
got to be. Part of the tour, somewhere in
there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know. It's weird.
I mean since the Orton match already.
Happened. Does.
Is that his? Is that his retirement at this
point? Could be.
Yeah, it wouldn't be bad. Wouldn't be bad.
Hey, and his. What's his name?

(01:20:07):
Gunther. Still supposed to wrestle J USO
coming up too, No tonight, right?
Or is it? Next week, maybe next week, I
think next week, putting that onraw, yeah.
No shit. Well, he can't wrestle.
J USO and Money in the Bank because he's in the tag match to
Jay and. Cody against Logan Paul.
Cena. And we get Lyra.

(01:20:31):
Lyra, Becky. Again.
Yeah, yeah, that'll be. I'm looking forward to that one.
Yeah, they're good matches they've had, really.
Good matches. I was a little disappointed in
in the promo and the reaction onMonday night Raw for for Lyra
like they just did. For whatever reason, the the the
fans did not seem as up for her as they have in the past.
So I don't know if it's it's just kind of waning now.

(01:20:53):
They don't really seem super up for Becky either.
So it's it'll be interesting. I'll tell you what, when I went
to RAW, it's fucking super hard.They do not do a good of of you.
Being able. To hear the.
Promos in the arena, so maybe that factors into it.

(01:21:14):
I don't. Know like this is that when I
went, I went. To Madison Square Garden like
the fucking wrestling Mecca of the world.
Like so when Paducah, KY I I betyou the sound system is
horseshit or wherever the fuck they were last week.
I don't think they're in Paducah.
I don't think they were either. I was just using it as an
example. Literal Kevin.
Jesus Christ, I. Have no fucking idea where they

(01:21:38):
were last week. I don't know either, I just I
finished washing it today. Could have swore it wasn't
Panduka though. What's a Panduka or?
Paduka. Yeah, Miwanta Panduka, I heard
he. Just signed with WWE.
EJ Panduka. Thank you.
Somebody left. I I.

(01:21:59):
I'm excited to for money in the bank, I think.
More than anything. Because I want to know.
I want to know what's like, whatthe direction is.
I get more excited when there's somebody that I don't think is
going to win that takes it home and where they go from there.
Like I I get more disappointed in the match itself when it's
somebody I think will win. Like obviously you said Seth,

(01:22:20):
Seth is a heavy favorite. Phillips is a heavy favorite.
Like I would rather them go a different route and see kind of
what they make of the different route.
That's that's what I get a little bit more pumped about.
Like when when Sandow, when Sandow had the briefcase fucking
love. Like that kind of shit
entertains me and we'll see kindof which way it goes.
Tag team match, I don't really give a shit about ladies match,

(01:22:44):
Becky and Becky and Lyra. I love Lyra.
But after that promo, like I say, everything kind of feeling
a little flat. It'll be interesting I guess, to
see I, I'm kind of more interested to see how the crowd
reacts to when, when they both come out because like I said,
they both were, both of them arejust flat.
Let me ask you guys, did you? See the promo on Smack Down with

(01:23:07):
John and Logan and Jay and Cody.Yes, I didn't.
See that one? So there's a moment where.
Logan I is it Logan Paul wants to or John Cena wants to leave
and Logan Paul kind of like pulls him back?
Yes. And you see like there's like I

(01:23:28):
think we're going to start to see the John.
Cena face turn now. It might.
Take a couple months, but I think this is the program right
where Logan Paul kind of starts to.
Turn. John John's I almost said.
John Paul, John Cena's Gears. Like, it's very subtle, but you

(01:23:51):
can. See them in a month going back
to that moment, you know? And who knows how this tag team
match plays out Saturday night. I might be more excited for.
Guy was it World's collide She might be.
More excited for that. Really.
Yeah. Yeah.

(01:24:11):
Why so? I used to watch AAA on on
Mundo's and I, I, I would have agreat time.
The crowd was always super into it.
The, the shit was different, a different presentation.
I am interested to see how they present now that they're a,
they're AWWE entity. It's their first, you know,
their first big, big show here. So I think that part of it to.

(01:24:33):
Me is a little bit more. Exciting than than money.
Today I'm going to watch them both and don't be wrong, like
I'm excited. I, I, I'm generally excited for
both of them, but I'm, I'm, I'm a little bit more interested to
watch the AAA event. Now let me ask you this.
I mean, I got to ask. HKA question, do you?
Think El. Hijo del Vikingo is going to be

(01:24:59):
like. Not toned down.
But a little less slop shop since he's going to be working
with Gran Cappuccino. Yeah, 'cause I remember watching
Phoenix and Mania and I thought Phoenix was like perfectly under
control. He was doing shit that made
sense. It was a great match.
I'm kind of hoping we don't get AEW He over by Kingo.

(01:25:20):
You know, I think, I think that that's one of the things that
you've seen with, with Penta as well.
Penta and Phoenix both slow downa little bit, sell a little bit
more like it. It it their their style is is
not like super different, but itit like just a little bit enough
to matter, you know what I mean?Just enough to matter.

(01:25:41):
Take, you know, take 3-4 spots out of a match that they would,
they would fucking cram into an AW match, settle a little bit
more, make things matter a little bit more and and fucking
Gables a a damn stud. So, yeah, yeah.
It'll be interesting because that trip they're doing.
This in what, Los Angeles? Is it in Lai Think that's where?

(01:26:03):
Worlds Collide is. Allow me look.
WWE World's collage. These titles make sure we can
type Matt enter wizard it is. Yeah.
Englewood, CA The Kia Forum Englewood always up to no good.

(01:26:24):
Oh, look at that, Buck says. He's got something he can cram
in. I don't.
Know if he's referring to me necessarily or it's U double.
P. You're way too old for him.
Hey, did Duke ever get Bucko's cheez?
Its that. He wanted.
Can I ask? The same thing.
I'll have to ask him. I'll have to ask him.
Look. Clown thirteen 4020 zero yes I

to. See which side the positive goes
in and which side. Like you need glasses dude.
I don't have. Glasses I.
Guess I should probably. Oh, you need to go to an eye
doctor. Guess I should.
Huh. This the smart?
I can't read. The big.

Hi, Nelly. Yeah, you probably need reading
glasses. Welcome to the club.

(01:27:31):
Old man I'm. Getting there.
Come on. Get down.
Get down, handsome Kevin. I.
Used to have 20. 15 Vision. My vision was so good.
When did it? When did you lose it?
Because I have. I have.
Better than 2020? Vision myself when did mid 30's,
the mid 30's, the reading started going.
Once I hit 40, the distance started going.
So I'm doing great. I'm doing just fine.
Everyone hold on, stupid. Everybody's different.

(01:27:53):
No shit. Right, you said earlier.
In the. Show you already got Gray hairs
on your balls. I don't have no Gray hairs on my
balls and I'm way older than you.
It's all in your fucking fuckingtuft.
My beard. I've got a couple Gray.
Hairs on my balls. I mean, my balls aren't Gray and
you're way older than all of us.You write that down.
My balls aren't Gray, but handsome Kevin do where you're

(01:28:16):
talking about like he's got likea fucking dying tree at the end
of the fall, all Gray and wilted.
That's a dying tree. Dying tree.
At the end of the fall, can we write?
That down too. That'll really make me giggle in
about 1/2 an hour sounds. Like a fucking Wes Anderson
movie. Rated PG13.

(01:28:37):
What else you got, Fantastic Mr.Fox?
Well, Emil. Is going to be joining us
shortly. Emil Lagrassi.
Emil J. Is it a meal or amel?
I thought it was. Emeril, I think it's.
A meal. Emeril.

(01:28:58):
Lagrassi. Oh, you're talking about that
guy? Like our?
Guest do you Jack wagon? I don't know.
That's why I let. Brendo do the intro.
Remember, he did a great. He did a great.
Intro He's getting better. At it, of course he did.
Oh shit, I like I was. Oh, sorry, Brenda, I talked over
you. Nah, you're good.

(01:29:19):
Well, I. Want to hear more from you?
And that's how I get. Sound bites if I let you talk.
I guess yes IA huge loop of community ain't giving it to you
double T. Ain't giving it to you really
not balls? There you go, clip that one.

(01:29:41):
1/29. There it is.
I don't. Care for that?
Yeah, you can read the big stuff.
Good. Uh huh.
Oh yeah. Old Cowtown, Jesse.
Whatever his name is. Jersey Cow, Jesse.
You go Jesse, you got to change your screen name now to.
Jersey Cow, Jesse. All right, well, it looks like.

(01:30:06):
Guest is here. I'm.
Going to find out how to. Properly say his name even
though he was only on the show like 2 months ago.
All right, I'll bring up we'll bring him in.
That sounds like your fault dude.
Well, I feel like Brendo pronounced his name differently
than the way I pronounce his name.
Maybe I'll find. Out, not you.
In the middle. Mr. Mr. J, what's up?

(01:30:28):
Hello, who keeps? Meeting me.
I don't. Know I'm fucking.
With the shit, OK. There's.
Many people. Hello.
Greetings, everybody. Is it Emil or a meal?
It's Emil. It's.
Like Emily? Without the Y it's like the
easiest way to I tell people yesI know about you guys, but Emily

(01:30:48):
without the. Y sounds kind of worthless to
me. I mean, it depends what you're
looking. For well, I'm looking for the
why for sure my friend. Oh yeah, I mean, it is pride
month. You do you.
But you know, I need that why I take pride in the why.
Yeah, fuck yeah. That's is that new?

(01:31:11):
Is that? Like new.
Slang. I've never heard this.
The why? I'm a creative guy.
What can I tell you? No, you never.
You never. Heard that and somebody likes.
To eat at the Y. See, Bruno knows OK?
Now it's like starting to worry.Because village people and

(01:31:31):
stuff. OK, Hello.
I don't. Know what's going on right now,
guys? Hey.
You know what? This the YMCA.
Because we don't know what the fuck is going on either.
Ammo so we are firing on all. Cylinders.
Yeah, I've had quite the week. It's you know, I'm mentally

(01:31:52):
scrabbled. So here we are, just the mere
few days away from the bloodiestweekend of the year tournament.
Of Survival Weekend. Yes, yes, we had.
We had Shane. Mercer on earlier and he took
John Wayne Murdoch. Who do you like in this

(01:32:16):
tournament? Well, there's a lot of people to
choose. From this time, I mean, much
like every year, Tournament Survival is a stack lineup.
Some of the best deathmatch fighters from a whole bunch of
places. I mean, we got a dodgy Wakamatsu

(01:32:38):
coming in from Japan. He's always fun and exciting to
watch. We have like the brand new like
upstart in Mr. Danger. I'm excited to see what he's
going to do in TOS. Like he's excited to see what
he's going to do in TOS. So and then there's the good

(01:33:02):
doctor. Doctor Redacted.
Of course. That guy is a psychopath.
I I affectionately call him the stupidest wrestler on the
planet. And and and he likes.
That I I I've told that to him numerous times, and not only
does he agree, but he thinks it's funny.

(01:33:25):
Well, then there's also hometownman Matt Tremont, who has done
it all in the deathmatch world except one thing.
And that one thing is to win a tournament of survival.
He's been in a three of them before but he's never won it and
he's won almost every other I think every other major

(01:33:49):
tournament and death match wise there is to be had so I think.
I think if, if Matt. This is the year for Matt
Tremont, I think, to win becausehe is the ultraviolent champion.
I believe he's going to be defending the belt throughout

(01:34:11):
the tournament. So he's got that on the line.
He's in front of his hometown crowd and it's the fact that
he's never won the TOS before, Ithink.
And and this year might be the last year that it's possible for
him. So I know he's gone in for it.
If you've heard any of his promos in the past month or two,

(01:34:35):
he's really fired up for it. So I mean.
The field's wide. Open.
But if it's going to be anybody,I think it might have to be the
bulldozer. He might literally, you know,
kill himself trying to win that damn tournament.
I know it means that much to him, even with the oh sorry.

(01:34:58):
Brenda, go ahead. Oh, he's got to get with past
the. Whoever the mystery man is first
too, Who knows? I have no idea.
I have no clue. Who is going to be like I'm?
I'm pretty close in the inner circle GCW, but there's, there's
things that even Brett won't even tell me until it happens

(01:35:20):
because he knows I like to be surprised.
And also you don't have to tell everybody everything.
I have no idea who it is. I'm going to find out shortly
before everybody else, I'm sure.But I, I, I can't wait to see
who it is. I I hear the scuttlebutt is that

(01:35:41):
it's. Was it like somebody?
Unexpected. I believe they said it was
something like that, like somebody.
That's never doesn't really havea history or whatnot.
Yeah, yeah. So I mean that.
Could be anybody these days. I mean, the, the, you know,
they, they always talk about howtechnology has made the world,

(01:36:04):
has made the earth flat, you know, not necessarily in like
Flip Gordon terms, but like. But like, you know, like.
It's everything is a lot more accessible these days.
The technology made the world more flat.

(01:36:24):
And I think the wrestling world is like that now.
Like, I don't think there's a such thing as a forbidden door
anymore like that. That's out the window.
There's people showing up all sorts of places.
Never know. All right, ammo, I'm going to
throw this. Out there because it's.
In the chat, Buck Zumhoff said Icould be the mystery guy.

(01:36:45):
Anyone got a file? Maybe not.
Anybody if if Buck Zumhoff? Shows up at tournament of
Survival. I guarantee you he does not
survive. The best thing?
Possible, right? Yeah, I mean that guy.
For those of you who don't know,he's a very bad person.

(01:37:07):
Oh, they know. They.
Know they know. We are Buck Zoomhoff experts.
Oh God, he's. They should do it not to, you
know, you know, glorify the guy or anything.
That's the dark side of the ringwaiting to happen.
Yeah. I'm surprised they haven't done
one on him that is. Surprising.

(01:37:27):
Yeah. Maybe they're waiting for him to
get stabbed in jail. Or something.
Yeah, he can do a combo episode.Of him and RF.
It's a great documentary. On YouTube though that YouTube.
Documentary is awful. Also it's.
Weird, Tony, that we can't see you, but we can hear you.
I'm sorry. I could.
I could jump back in. No, no, you're good.
I know you got the plumber at the house, but it's just like I

(01:37:47):
thought when you took yourself out, you'd be, like, out.
No, I just kind of closed my camera.
But I'm. Yeah.
You don't have to bring me in ifyou don't want to.
But I'm here. Here I am.
There I am. There I go.
Hey. There you go.
Wait. That's fine.
Oh, there you go, Emma, you got.So we got Tournament of
Survival, Then after Tournament of Survival, we're gonna have

(01:38:08):
the deathmatch Hall of Fame. We've already announced mean and
hard, too tough, Tony. And then Jeff Cannonball, which
if you've been following the news, the unfortunate news, Jeff
Cannonball diagnosed with ALS and the wrestling community is
really pulled together for him and his family, which is a
beautiful thing to see Jeff going in for someone who's

(01:38:31):
worked with them. You've called his matches, like,
how much does that mean to you? Oh, it means a lot.
Because, you know, I'm going to touch on this a bit at the
deathmatch Hall of Fame event itself, But you know, Jeff is
actually a real life friend of mine.
You know, through this wrestlingbusiness.
You don't really, I mean, you make a lot of, you know, friends

(01:38:53):
along the way, people you're friendly with.
But you know, there's a lot of times when when you know not be
not out of malice or anything, but once you guys like stop
being in the same locker room all the time, you know, people
like they kind of like drift apart or whatnot.
And you know, it's no secret that, you know, Cannonball

(01:39:15):
hasn't really been around for a little while.
But that said, we are always in constant communication because
we're friends with each other outside of wrestling over our
common shared interest of battlerap.
He's he's a big. Battle rap head just like I am,
and that's pretty much what we talked about.

(01:39:39):
So, you know, he's a good guy, agreat guy, you know, and you
know him and his new, new familyand you know it it it's a shame
that he's, you know, contracted the ALS, but it's a a a blessing

(01:40:03):
that he's able to get the, the the flowers he deserves.
This Saturday is. He going to be at TOS.
Also like signing or do you knowabout that or I don't know for?
Sure, but I would assume so. I would I would I would hope so.

(01:40:24):
I would like to see him there for that and I I think he would
like to be there for that as well, but I I haven't really
talked to him about that per SE.Cool and there.
Is a yeah. There's a GoFundMe for Jeff,
too. And I'll link it in the comment
in the description of the show. 3 days it's already raised

(01:40:47):
$69,000, which well deserved unbelievable, you know and, and
there's also. Not a lot of.
Guys in wrestling that. Nobody has a bad word to say
about, you know, like that. There's going to be somebody
that hates on somebody somewhere.

(01:41:07):
But. I've never heard.
Anybody say one negative word about Jeff Cannonball?
Ever, ever, ever like that? Like a like, he's like a real,
true, genuine good guy. Like if, if anybody deserves to
have the community rally around somebody, it's him.
So so we'll. Check that out.

(01:41:29):
Please support if you can. Every dollar helps Jeff and his
family. And again, I'll put that link in
the description of the show, so please check it out.
So you're going to have Cage Tournament of Survival, you're
going to have this wonderful Hall of Fame induction, and then
we're going to come back Sunday in the shitty city of Atlantic
City and we're going to do Cage of Survival, Team GCW against

(01:41:52):
Team JCW. That's pretty stacked line up
there. But the fucking clowns.
What are we doing here with Roof, Rafo and Yabo the
brothers? Of funstruction.
They're they're interesting people.
Try not to be. Around them too.
Much, you know. Not for nothing, Juggalos.

(01:42:16):
I don't. I don't get it really.
I mean like, like honestly, likeI used to like insane.
Clown Posse. But then I turned 14 like.
Come on guys, what are we doing here?
But you're. Not a Juggalo, Emma.
No, not anymore. I mean.

(01:42:37):
I I. I thought they were cool when I
was a. Teenager.
Like a very, like the very earliest teenager you you could
be. And then I was like, you know
what? This guy's talking.
About some pretty weird stuff, yeah.
And you know, it was even weirder after.
The 6th Joker card dropped. They were like, oh we follow God

(01:42:59):
and you're like what the fuck? God is not talking about bugs on
my nuts. Like let's be real here.
Yeah, yeah, you know you. Know I liked it.
I liked them because they were like, they, they liked wrestling
and like, you know, it makes sense.
You know, I liked anything that was like somewhat related to
wrestling. Like, I like once I discovered

(01:43:20):
that Ted Turner owned WCW and the Atlanta Hawks, I was like,
oh man, the Atlanta Hawks, you know, I mean.
They had a pretty good squad like.
But you know, like Steve Smith was a shooter.
It was all right. But like, they weren't like the
best, obviously. Really, I did like the Braves.
They were good. They were actual good team but I

(01:43:43):
only like them because Ted Turner owned them and also WCW.
Weird, weird, weird. Behavior.
I think it's weird. To somebody who's not in the
wrestling bubble, but if you're in the wrestling bubble, it
makes sense. Yeah, there's something.
Messed up with us. Speaking of messed up, I got to

(01:44:03):
ask. About this KJ or so character,
now I'm just spitball. I'm just spitballing here really
dude. I'm just.
Spitballing here, but I got to say this.
Right. He's showing his true colors, I
think. He's the one that got in Sammy's
ear. And told Sammy to dump Pam for
for time Allo. They do have a history.

(01:44:27):
That's some, that's some pretty shitty.
Friend behavior and KJ seems to fit the bill now.
Oh, he's the shittiest. Friend dude, that guy is an
asshole. Like straight up.
Like, like I thought we were cool and like obviously I
thought him and Stackhouse were cool, but that was not the case.

(01:44:49):
Showed his true. Colors and if I never saw him
again I would be happy, but unfortunately he's going to be
in town on Sunday and but wait, oh wait hold on now that I
remember isn't isn't is it Mashascheduled to beat his ass that

(01:45:11):
day Oh yeah oh so. That'll.
Be great. I'm very good friends with Masha
Slamovich. You know, I, I remember back 10
years ago, like one of her firstmatches was at a Dojo war show
of ridiculous like 10 years ago.So I'm very friendly with her.

(01:45:35):
You know, maybe I can convince her to go a little extra hard
against that Dick head. Oh yeah, I don't.
Think it. I don't think it'll.
Take much to convince her no, she's a machine anyway.
I mean, she's on a different stratosphere, yo.
How funny was it when that clip was going around?
She was standing in the ring with Nikita Lyons was like doing

(01:45:59):
all that. Stuff that she does.
And Masu was just looking at her.
Did you see that? I mean, wouldn't you look at her
too? Look at that.
Well, no, she wasn't. Looking at her like, hey, she
was looking at her like. What is this lady?
Doing that's how I look at her too.
Doing all that. Fighting and play stuff for like
20 seconds. It was crazy.

(01:46:21):
What are you doing? I mean, she's no Steven Seagal.
Oh yeah, it's. True and.
Again, who is nobody? Other than Steven.
Seagal. So what do you think's going to
be? More violent on that show you
got dog collar match Joey Janella and Agate Atticus Kohler
or Cicc Lopey and Extremo in thecage of survival I think.

(01:46:49):
I think both are. Going to be very brutal matches,
but I think Miedo and Siglo pay.They're going to be in that cage
where God knows what. Else.
In and around the cage, so they're going to have a lot more

(01:47:10):
things to play with, whereas I think with.
Janella and Atticus. It's mostly going to be chained
fists and feet, but mostly chained.
They're not going to be, you know, and and they're also going

(01:47:31):
to be chained together. So there's not a real risk, real
risk of like coming off of a high, high thing.
Like that's probably going to happen in a cage match.
Knowing those two nutty guys, they're not afraid to get up
there. We've seen it before.
Sequel Bay almost died in that very terminal and showboat

(01:47:54):
during the Art of War games lastyear or a year before that when
it came flying off the top of that thing.
I mean if it comes. Down to it, I'm sure.
Miedo won't be afraid to shove him down to the ground like that
again off of the cage. But I think there it's going to
be two very, it's, they're goingto be two very different, very

(01:48:18):
violent fights. One's going to be more of a fist
fight. The other is going to be more of
just how much brutality can put somebody through.
Do you have? A Do you have a sleeper?
Of who's going to steal the weekend?
Mr. Danger, Mr. That's that's, that's, that's that's the.
Guy. Huh.
That's one guy to watch this weekend.

(01:48:38):
It's Mr. Danger. Yeah, in.
My opinion, I think, I think thekids got it.
You know, there there's a, there's some people who see.
The vision. And there's some people who are
blind and hopefully, hopefully this weekend, Mr. Danger is

(01:49:00):
going to wake them people up and, you know, open their eyes
to to what Mr. Danger can do. He's like like all he does is
study classic CZW and like crazyECW stuff.
Like he just want like he has that spirit, that wild, you

(01:49:20):
know, he's just got that it factor to me that like, you
know, that that made this kind of stuff stand out.
You know, I I I really like him.I also like, Oh, I also have to
make mention of the Bev. I didn't talk about him.

(01:49:42):
He's he's another great deathmatch wrestlers.
Some might say he's like the best in America right now.
And the fact that he's he's got Wakamatsu in the first round,
that's going to be crazy. Of course you got the House of
horrors with John Wayne Murdoch and and Mr. Danger.

(01:50:05):
You have the three-way involved.You have a mystery opponent
against Tremont. So, I mean, and who know?
I don't even know who that mystery person is.
That mystery person could be theone to steal the show.
Is it? Is it you?
Definitely. Not no way.
Especially against Tremont. Are you kidding me?

(01:50:28):
No, actually I'll. Be fine, Tremont's.
My friend, I could actually liketrust him that if I lay down he
would just pin me and it would be no problem.
But then I would have to worry about the fans like wanting to
fight me because they were jobbed out of a fucking match.
Well, you know what you have to do if he gets.
On top of you, right? Just beat him off.

(01:50:52):
I love beating dudes off. That's why I go to eat at the Y
fuck. Yeah, dude.
What a call back. It's looking great.
Big weekend for GCW tournament survival weekend, but man,
fucking GCW is just non-stop dropping gifts to us.

(01:51:16):
Like they just announced. 10 minutes ago July 5th in Hartford
Dr. Redacted ultra mantis black.Cool, I didn't know about that.
Because. I don't I, I can't see it.

it is. That's cool.
That's a cool match. That's fucking rad, man.
The ball bash. At the ballpark, Santana, Cora

(01:51:37):
Jade's going to be there. Priscilla Kelly.

Kansas City, MO. I I can't wait for that one.
I haven't seen Scorp in a while.Something tells me you and Scorp
get along. Real well.
Oh, that's that's my guy. Like the fact that OK, so like

(01:52:20):
he's one of my top five favoritewrestlers of all time, like and
he's been that way for a long time.
And the fact that like he knows who I am and we're cool.
Like that's so awesome. Like that's that's.
What I like, you know, that's what I got it like that's.
Why I do what I do, You know what I mean?

(01:52:42):
Like some people, they get involved, they get they get
involved. They're like, oh, I want to get
on TV. Nah, man, not me.
Like I'm cool. Ricky Morton.
You know that rules. Like I wouldn't be cool with
Ricky. Morton, if I was.
On WWFTVI would never even have met the guy, but no.

(01:53:05):
That's my homie. Are those the 2?
Are those the two that blow your?
Like what's the one that? Blows your fucking mind.
Like if you were like walking through the airport and this
other guy was walking through the airport, he'd be like, yo
Emma, what's up? Like who's that guy that blows
your fucking mind that you're friends with?

(01:53:27):
Shit, that's a hell of a good question.
Like until recently, somebody upthere would have been Sabu.
Right, obviously. The aforementioned, you know,
Scorp and Ricky Martin and like like guys like George S, you

(01:53:49):
know, Jeff Jarrett. That's that's pretty awesome.
So like the coolest, the coolestthing about that, I think is
what was Ric Flair's last match?Was that 2022 or 2023?
The tag match, the one where he almost.
Died. Yeah, yeah. 20. 23.

(01:54:13):
Yeah. Well, whatever it was.
Yeah, that sounds right. We had a show in Nashville that
same weekend, 2022. Oh yeah.
Yeah. And then there.
Was a wrestle con. That is crazy.
There was wrestle con there and Jeff Jarrett, he had like the
longest line, the whole damn place.
Let me tell you that guy over like or over and jeez, it was

(01:54:36):
like wrapped around the building.
But like, I'm, I'm walking around because I was, you know,
at the GCW. Table and you.
Know I wanted to see who's around I'm walking and then he's
got he's got this long ass line.All of a sudden I hear hey Emmel
from across the way. It's damn Jeff Jarrett calling
me over by name just wanting to talk and everything he's telling

(01:54:59):
the people to wait. He's like I'll be with you in a
minute and we start shooting this shit.
I'm like what is this? Was he trying to sell you some?
Gold. He was selling.
Me gold. In the form of conversation.
Let me It was a great conversation that we had.
It was quite funny. And then I was like, OK,

(01:55:20):
goodbye. My friend Jeff and I left and
then like, like as I was coming back from like making my rounds
the other way, I would cross histable again.
He called me over again. He introduced me to his wife.
I'm like what's? Going on here like.
That Jared's my buddy introducedto his.
Wife and stuff. That's pretty.

(01:55:42):
Fucking I love it. That's pretty.
Awesome. Yeah, yeah, stuff like that.
I remember one time Doctor Wagner Junior put his arm around
me and said he's called me El vos de lucha libre de.
Mundial, because he's got that really cool.
Voice, but he called me the voice of international wrestling

(01:56:02):
or something like that's sick. Like so like guys like that
that's I would never have met those guys like, you know,

do. I don't know whatever you're

Really. Yeah.

(02:06:58):
I mean this built like. A different episode of Dark Side
for the fact that it ended on a good note Yeah.
Like, you know, he went through all this shitty stuff, but he
came out on the good end. Like, he's got his life
together. He's not like crippled, he's not
in jail, he's not like a a huge former drug addict.
He's a a real good human being doing good shit.

(02:07:21):
So good way to end the season inmy mind.
It's also like the nasty side ofthe.
Wrestling business where this dude took on like I texted you
guys the other day about Nikita Koloff, like when, when, when
they gave him the Russian gimmick.
Like he learned Russian. He had Russian magazine sent to
his house, so the mailman thought he was Russian.

(02:07:42):
He dated a woman and Kay faved her kids for two years.
That he didn't speak English. That's awesome, right?
So he. Gets this fucking?
Gimmick and he's fucking in gimmick at air.
He's an doing an Iranian guy at at an airport post 911 like and
then and then. The fucking like the shit.

(02:08:05):
Happens in England. And.
They're like, take them off TV and you're done.
They can't find. They don't give them.
Another job they just say here'syour gold watch, thanks for your
service. Piss off.
It's fucking gross. So we crying for Akita Koloff
now? No, I'm not talking.
I'm talking about fucking Mohammed.

(02:08:25):
Hassan. And he could have got work as.
An Indian. Wrestler too.
I did laugh when he. Said.
Whenever him and Davari would get to the airport, Davari would
always get stopped because they would look at the names.
He's got the Italian name. I really I didn't.
I really liked it. So I want to know.

(02:08:46):
Too. Because was it, Guerrero said,
that his dad came up with the fucking camel clutch?
Yes. Was it his dad or his
grandfather? I forget which.
One his dad, but then I. I thought the Sheik did.
That, and that's what I want to know the answer to what Sheik
The Sheik, the original Sheik, The fucking Sheik.

(02:09:07):
As opposed to the iron. Sheik.
OK, I've just I know, I know youbought into it.
You you drank the kool-aid. I get it.
Jerk off. I just need to make sure that
we're on the same page. I just hate what the original
Sheik like there's been 50 Sheik's after him.
Yeah, but he became the originalSheik because of that, because
of the iron Sheik. Yes, the Iron Sheik completely

(02:09:27):
bit off his fucking gimmick, Yeah, but he's he's the.
Sheik. Yes.
It's like Rutherford and East. Rutherford.
They don't say original Rutherford.
He was the chic up until the iron.
Chic took. The gimmick and was on a much
grander stage than the chic so that people would think the chic

(02:09:49):
and think they were talking about the Iron Chic instead of
talking about the original chic.I hate wrestling, I really do.
Wrestling was so easy when it was simple.
Now it's just fucking stupid. It still is.
Simple. Maybe, but it's really not.
It should be simple, Handsome Kevin.

(02:10:10):
Wants to torture himself with. 4hours of garbage rustling.
Why would you do that? I'm going to try, but this is
what wrestling has become. Yeah.
I want pudding matches. Yeah.

life. Are we talking about Born to Be
Wired? Please, my fucking lounging.
Around the house. Sweatpants.

(02:14:58):
All my dark homework. Let's go all right so I assigned
you guys to go back to August 9th 1997 ECW born to be wired my
first ever live ECW show in the arena and as a you know I.
Told the story. When Sabu passed, as a huge Sabu

(02:15:19):
fan, I was. Fucking.
Over the moon. When I got there and I bought a
program and the fucking main event in the program, said Terry
Funk defends the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against
Sabu No row barbed wire match. I probably came in my pants.

(02:15:39):
Sweatpants. No, no, I didn't wear sweatpants
to. The ECW Arena?
What kind of? Crazy person.
Yeah, you probably wouldn't fit in.
So, well, he wasn't wearing deodorant.
So that checks. That's not true.
I was wearing you. Take a nap.

(02:16:00):
On Ming Chen. No, he fit.
That was wild bro. I'll.
Tell you it took him a long timeto set up that.
Fucking ring, take the ropes down and put the barbed wire up.
Why it probably? Took like 40 minutes.
Why? Because they're not
professionals. Have you ever seen ECW also?
Because they're ECW. Like it wasn't like working

(02:16:24):
barbed wire. Like that was real shit.
Which. Came came to play into this.
Match in a major way. When I watched this this morning
and I saw. That it was 25 minutes long.
I was like, oh man, this is going to be quite the watch.
But it flew pretty quickly. And it I thought, all things

(02:16:47):
considered. I enjoyed.
It and I've watched it several times, but I'm curious to see
what you guys thought about it. I enjoyed it, it's been a bunch.
Of years since I saw it, they'redefinitely more entertaining the
top half of the match, the bottom or the bottom part where
it's a lot of, you know, just like waiting on them to set shit

(02:17:09):
up and whatnot. But overall I I definitely had a
good time watching this again. Any time I get to hear people
getting fucking slammed in the ECW ring, I always say it.
It just sounds fucking great. I.
I enjoyed it a lot more than I remembered enjoying it.

(02:17:31):
I do agree that the second-half,like there was some bigger
spots, but there was a whole lotof like like Van Damme coming
out, Tommy Dreamer coming out. Like I kind of understand why
they did it because there was like genuine concerns when Sabu
cut his arm open and when Terry Funk started getting caught in
the barbed wire. I do love when Sabu didn't sell

(02:17:52):
something and Funk is just beating on me and goes I don't
give a shit and he just keeps. Hitting them more.
Like fired up Terry Funk was amazing.
I did feel very bad for Bill Alfonso.
Like at one point he should havejust ran away but he fucking
took the barbed wire across the back and stood around.

(02:18:13):
That took balls man. Because I would probably would
have been like you know what, fuck this, I'm out of here.
That was fucked up shit. But I I wound up enjoying it a
lot more than I remember enjoying it.
But like I said, the second-half, it really started
to Peter out and the ending, obviously it had to end, but
it's fucked up where Sabu tries to pin him and he kicks out and

(02:18:34):
then he tries to pin him again like 2 minutes later and then he
gets them. And that, yeah, you could tell
nobody was prepared for fucking barbed wire chicanery in that
fucking in that arena. No, you can't.
Well, not, you know. Not at all.
We'll get. We'll get H KS opinion in a
second, but like they're trying to cut everybody out and
someone's like where's the Clippers?
And they're like, we only have, you hear someone like we don't

(02:18:56):
have any more pairs like I don't.
Think any was anyone? Was prepared to cut 2 human
beings out of the fucking barbedwire disaster and even the.
Way they had the ropes set up like they.
Just had messes in between the ropes instead of just wrapping
them three in a row on all four sides.
You know what I'm saying? Like, I think it's probably why

(02:19:18):
it took them like 40 minutes because they probably wind up
getting shit tangled up. Didn't know how to get out of
it, couldn't figure it out and just said you know what, fuck
it, that's a side, that's a side.
And of course, it's the side where all the fucking tables
were, but I digress. HK Matt was curious what you got
for us, brother. How much did you hate this
fucking thing? So I didn't, I haven't watched
this match since it came out on that DVD.

(02:19:39):
I might have watched it twice onthat DVD and that was pretty
much enough for me. Watching it now, you know, years
because that DVD came out a longtime ago.
I don't remember it was. It's got to be at least 15, it
feels like. But.
Oh, it's not that. Is it?
Yeah, it was. It was quite a while, yeah.
And and this match is almost 30 years old.

(02:20:00):
Yeah, but there was the. DVD was.
AWWE release. Oh, was it?
No, I think it was. On.
ECW Bloodsport most violent matches 2012 It came out OK.
No, but the original. Release came out shortly.
After the event though, right? Yes, but that was on tape.
HK is talking about the DVD. That's.

(02:20:22):
Oh gotcha gotcha. OK.
Did they did they have this on the?
The ECW documentary 'cause I know they had to find out in a
second if you want. The.
You know, I wonder if it is on that documentary, 'cause I have.
That too. That and either way, not a giant
fan of this match. One thing like watching it, the
the thought that kept on going to my through my mind is having

(02:20:45):
to contour the way you work because working in the ring for
those two guys especially, you know, guys have been around for
that long to have to remember like, Oh no, Irish whip is not
going to be. What I wanted to you.
Know what I mean? Like just the things that are
just autopilot in your mind. I was.
Not a giant fan man. I I so I'll tell you this.

(02:21:08):
I. I I wasn't like pissed off and
hating every moment of it, but there was there was so much
within the match itself where I was like, why, why, what's
what's the fucking point? Can't we, why can't we just have
Sabu and Terry Funk in a fuckingmatch?
Why is that not good enough? And when it got to the.
When it got to the end. I just, I fucking kind of threw

(02:21:29):
my hands up because you, you have this giant like this shit's
going to be crazy. Barbed wire match.
And they start slowing down. The barbed wire is fucking
messy. It's getting caught on
everything. Then they wrap Funker around and
then Sabu's wrapped around, and then they roll in the ring and
nothing really spectacular happens.
He pins him. And then he.

(02:21:49):
Fucking kicks out and I thought at that.
Point I went. Fuck this, just fuck this.
I don't want to watch this anymore because I didn't
remember the finish and I was happy when he pinned him again
and he got the three. But then I was pissed off
because I was like, you have this grand match first barbed
wire. No, Roy is a fucking maniacs

(02:22:11):
match and that's the fucking finish. 1-2 kick out, I'll cover
you again. Gotcha.
What the fuck? Well, I don't think that was I
mean, if you follow the story, they go the next week to
hardcore heaven and Shane Douglas just wins the title and
then recreating the classic triple threat match that from

(02:22:32):
the night the line was crossed. I don't think Sabu was supposed
to win the title that night. They were just so tangled up in
that barbed wire that I think they called an called an audible
because they were in serious fucking danger.
I'm with you there. I always thought I.
Always thought that was the unplanned finish.
Like if you look at, if you lookat. 1997 ECW and the story Go

(02:22:55):
Like This was just an ECW house show the week before Hardcore
Heaven 97. The big match going into
hardcore Hardcore Heaven 97 is Tommy, Dreamer and Jerry.
Lawler. Like that's the.
Huge story like I think this match and the result.

(02:23:17):
God bless you. Are you?
What are you doing? Are you having a heart attack?
This is a fucking. House show.
Yeah, this show at the ECW. Arena.
ECW used to name their house shows just like AW names every
fucking episode of Dynamite. They've only had what, one
pay-per-view at? This point I think anyway.
Just barely legal, I think. Barely legal.

(02:23:38):
Yeah. Heat wave.
Was not on pay-per-view, Yeah. Yeah.
This is, this is and I. So, and I think that one of the
reasons I didn't hate it as muchas I had anticipated hating it
was because of the components. You mean like I?
Love I I. Love Funker.
I like Sabu so the components kind of helped in that.
In in the. Watch or in the viewing.

(02:24:00):
If it was two guys I didn't givea shit about, I, I, I'd be
fucked. I'd be taking a shit everywhere
right now. I could make that happen.
Yeah, I like, I like, I like where your head's at.
Just so you know, forever. Hardcore for some reason doesn't
have a Wikipedia page and I can't find the matches in IMDb,
but it does have on the back. Sabu versus Terry Funk is one of

(02:24:21):
the matches. It doesn't say that that's the
that's this match from Born to Be Wired.
So I had. Yeah, and I pulled up the, I had
the rise and. Fall of ECW up.
And it's not one of the matches on that DVD.
Yeah. So maybe.
It's on here. I'm.
I'll fucking check it out at some point.
Nobody really gives a shit anyway.

(02:24:42):
But yeah, I mean, I think maybe Terry, I think maybe Terry Funk
kicked out at first because he thought he could continue, and
then maybe he realized just how bad it was.
And said, you know. What?
I'm fucking done. Yeah.
He had it wrapped around his neck.
Yeah, didn't he? Say like at one point like he
couldn't. Breathe anymore.
And that's why he just said fuckit, let's just end it.
I'm pretty sure he said that. In his book like.

(02:25:04):
He was like, I couldn't breathe.Like I kept on thinking too.
Like when they're especially when they're wrapped up, but
even a different spots in the match, like one wrong move and.
You're fucking, you're losing aneyelid, you.
Know what I mean like 1 like it just like why what what's the
they're hardcore bro. You had a hotel.

(02:25:24):
You're that's, that's where we were in 1997.
You know, like the Attitude Era.Is just kind.
Of picking up steam right? Like we're fresh off of Shawn
Michaels clobbering the Undertaker and after Brett spit
in his face at Summer Slam 97 I.So I'm going to go off on a

(02:25:46):
tangent for like 2 minutes, but my buddy texted me the other
day, what's the best year of wrestling like for you?
I think for me it was 97. I got to see the WWF title
change hands. I was at this show where the ECW
change title changed hands and then I was at Starrcade 97 with
Stingbee. Pete Hogan.
I think that mean my. Might be my best year but.
Like. To your point, HK, why are they

(02:26:06):
doing this? Like cuz that's what it it was,
it was ECW, it was OK. We have to push the envelope and
like, look, man, Sabu did a he was, he did a lot of stupid.
Shit for the. Good of the wrestling business
like and he didn't really, you know, think about himself like
he fucking cut his bicep like yeah, bad like he was like

(02:26:27):
fondly. You got to get me tape.
And he's fucking. Wrapping it, getting the shit
kicked out of him. He was wrapping it while Terry
Funk was going for a neck breaker.
This is the neck breaker and youjust.
See this in the. Background.
Yeah, it's wild, man. And it's wild that Terry.
Funk is having this match in 199753 as old as fucking R

(02:26:50):
truth. I don't know.
It was a throat, you know it was.
For me, it was nostalgic, fresh off the Sabu passing, and then I
was there and I talked about it at nauseam on the show.
So I figured why not assigned itas homework.
But I I don't know no, you it was good.
You were there was that. There had to be a better match

(02:27:12):
that night, Taz. Al Snow, Tommy Dreamer.
RVD she's dumb. Storm.
All of them sound better. You know, you can see, Oh, I'm
sorry, you can see me. You can see me.
Did he show the fire alarm? When they are.

(02:27:35):
When they're. Putting Terry Funk on the table,
we are like 3 rows back on that.We were on the floor.
You can see me standing on the chair.
Very young Matt with his north. Cap.
When his freshly sliced abdomen jizz covered sweatpants.

(02:27:58):
The next now. Next month, sleeping.
On his lap, right next to his Iranian boyfriend.
Original. Iranian boyfriend, right?
Bucket. Change his laundry out of the.
Porta John the next month, we were there.
We were the ones that caught Spike Dudley when Bam Bam threw
him into the crowd. I'm like one of the last.

On his feet. Nice, that's.
A That's a solid show too. Yep, Yep.
