call and leave a message after thebeat Wrestling Anonymous, please hold. I've

(04:09):
always been a big wrestling fan,but years ago, I was in junior
high and I'm thirty now. Offls anything. In Nashville, we had
some country music television show. Itwas called Nashville Star, and I don't
I never watched it. Was nevera fan of country music, never watched

(04:30):
a single episode other than the onethat my best friend's mom was able to
score us tickets too. And thereason she scored us tickets was because John
Cena was going to be like aguest judge. I guess it was an
American Idol for country music type show. I don't know. We went to
the taping he came out. Everyonewas so excited, and as it turned

(04:57):
out, my best friend ended upgetting dick and couldn't even make it.
I ended up going with my bestfriend's mom and his little sister. She
ended up taking me. Anyways,we waited around forever afterwards, and I
got to meet John Cena. Ihad met some wrestlers before and knew that
I didn't want to take this time. I knew he was very busy,

(05:20):
and so I just wanted to getmy assigned autograph, thank him for everything,
and get out of his way.I had been grounded the week before
and wasn't allowed to watch raw andhe had a huge gash from his forehead
where he had been split open,and I remember that I inquired about it.

(05:45):
I wanted to just get my pictureand get out of the way.
John let me stand off to theside of the line, even though he
continued to sign stuff for other kidsand talk to other kids. He let
me stay there for five minutes ormore, and he told me about everything
he had on the show that nightand what had happened and how he got

(06:08):
busted open and like everything. Ikept saying, well, thank you,
mister Cena. He said, well, hold on't didn't you want to hear
about so and so? Didn't youwant to hear about what I had happened
next? And he just made somuch time for me. He made me
feel like a million bots. Ithought it was really really cool to see

(06:29):
see him just take all that timefor not just me, but for all
the fans. He didn't let anybodyfeel like they were rushed. No one
felt like they were on a timewhen it and really really speaks to how
much of a stand up guy JohnCena is. Oh yeah, that's a
great instance. So many great storiesthey're out there about John Cena, And

(06:49):
you think about it's like, it'slike John Cena was doing that so somebody
could go retell that story. Soif this one person is retelling this story
on a random podcast, about wrestlinghappenings. You just imagine, like the
odds, right, the odds arethat's happened like thousands of times of whatever
that was was making somebody feel special. I will say there is something too,

(07:13):
like if you're a wrestler and youare at something that isn't wrestling related,
but you could see that someone reallyreally likes wrestling, like you want
to give them more attention. Youknow that they will appreciate it more.
And that's what I'm gonna say.I have no clue what was going through
John Cena's head at the time,but that's what I'm gonna say. From

(07:34):
a wrestler's perspective, I would saythat's the thought process in John Cena's head
is like, this kid will reallyappreciate it, so I'm going to spend
a little more time with him.And of course you're making a wrestling fans
dream come true from I mean,the biggest guy in the sport for years
now. So good guy, JohnCena. I think that's what I titled

(07:56):
to call John Cena. Good dude, and no one's denying. And it's
no surprise that he's become such abig success outside of the world of wrestling,
and I think he's going to continueobviously, and we need more guys
like him who was all for itin every single way, not just in
the ring, not just while atwork, but in every aspect. So

(08:16):
good on ya, John Cena,Good dude wrestling. Anonymous mail bag,
You've got mail and now an emailread by Jake the Snake Roberts. In
high school, I was one ofthose few people who had no idea there

(08:39):
was a difference between amateur wrestling andprofessional wrestling, so I was pretty pumped
up to sign up for my freshmanyear. Didn't really know too much of
the moves, but I knew wWF. One of mine my dad's favorite
wrestlers was Jason Snake. I rememberfor our coach always telling us never to

(09:01):
go for a tackle because if youdo, someone could lock you up on
your head and basically just drop you. And I remember my first JV match.
A kid kept tackling me, andinstead of sprawling like you're supposed to,
I just couldn't get my feet outfrom under me, and so I

(09:24):
locked onto his head and basically dida DDT. After that, the ref
and my coach came up to meand was like, you can't be doing
a DDT, this isn't the WWF. But I learned that I was only
getting a warning before they start deductingpoints, and so every once in a

(09:48):
while I did a little more safely. But I started to elaborate on that
DDT where I figured, well,my favorite wrestler was Jake the Snake.
Let me sprawl the arm out,un let's just do a backslap, and
so I just kind of started addingon to it, and that became my

(10:09):
theme tour, basically, like mycoach started calling me John the Snake.
Years later, when WrestleMania wasn't atOrlando, I got to go to wrestle
Con and meet Jake the Snake.Well, I had some of those ddts
on video and told him the wholestory. His response was, why would

(10:33):
fucking shep too that to somebody?And then I showed him the video and
he's like, nice kid, Ilike that. I liked the little backslap
at the end. Wrestling Anonymous,please hold for sponsors. A few years

(11:01):
ago, I was at the lastCharlotte santhest and I was walking through the
hotel and Lannie Papo saw me,and I guess He assumed that either I
worked at the hotel or I wasstaying there, and he said, hey,
can you please show me where theelevator is? Because I wasn't staying

(11:24):
there, I had to go lookfor the elevator. I kept waiting for
him, and he kept being stoppedby people asking for autographs and pictures.
So I would he would start walkingwith me, and then he would stop,
and I would be ahead of him, and I said would keep going
back and waiting for him to finish, and people would just come up and

(11:46):
talk to him and try to getpictures and autographs, talked to him for
a while, and I would justwait patiently. So finally I found an
elevator and I got him to theelevator and he said thank you. As
I was about to say goodbye,I said, well, you know,
I was in Downers Grove a fewweeks ago, and he was kind of

(12:09):
surprised, and I said, youknow, they still haven't built a statue
to your family. And he wokeat me and he said, those bastard
and he just started way apingion.I started waypingion I walked away. I
thought he was gonna say, fuckthem. It's funny He says that because

(12:30):
the first person I talked to whenLanny Poppo passed away was Jay Lethal,
who was a great friend of LanniePoppo. And I said, Hey,
if the funeral is in Downers Grove, I would love to go. I
mean, you know, the Idon't know if there's high odds, but
there's there was odds that possibly thefuneral for leaving Lannie Poppo the Genius would

(12:50):
be in Downers Grove, Illinois,and I would have loved to attend to
his funeral. Lannie was a goodfriend of mine, you know, like
in the text messages, always wouldreply anything I ever needed. He was
so nice and so sweet. AndI think I talked about before how there
is this precedent of what a wrestleris, and then there's like some asterisks,

(13:11):
you know. I think mcfoley isan asterix. I think Landi Papo
is an asterix. I think thiscaller thinks he thought he worked at the
hotel, but I'm going to say, as a wrestler, I just think
he was looking for anyone to helphim, and probably also assumed that this

(13:31):
guy was maybe even there for theconvention, but just staying at the hotel.
And maybe knew where it was.If you're gonna get this is how
I see it, And I alwayslook at it like as a fans perspective,
or like before I got into wrestling, like if you're gonna get this
like special one on one attention whichfrom one of your heroes, And I'm
looking at the same way like ifI eighteen, right before I got into

(13:52):
wrestling, grew up mesmerized by thegenius Landing. First of all, I
loved leaping Landy Popo, loved thegenius Lanny Papod, loved him all.
But if he was going to belike I need your help and then talk
to other people, I would Ithink I would stick around as long as
humanly possible. Too, is likeI don't need your help anymore, so
I get it what this guy's doing. Of course, hang with him,

(14:15):
hang out as long as you possiblycan. He is the first person in
America to do that mood salt.He is the man he was Landi Pafo,
And of course you're going to havea fun reaction. And then I
love the idea of having a nicelittle inside joke with him at the end
and a nice little chuckle like that'sOne of my favorite experiences too, is
maybe when someone says something where wecould both have a laugh about it and
then you part ways, but youboth have that you both have that nice

(14:39):
interaction and that laugh. For me, you know, as a man who
uses comedy as so many things,you know, coping, ball busting,
whatever it might be, I wouldlove to leave it on a laugh,
just like you two did, anda good memory and a good memory and
a good call about leaping Landy PapoWrestling Anonymous, please hold first. Sponsors

(15:03):
had to be two thousand and sevenor two thousand and eight. I was
working at the Radisson Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a wedding server person,
and there was a hotel next doorto us, the Ramada, that had
gone defunct. They lost their abilityto operate under that name. They were

(15:24):
shut down, except there were acouple events that were still booked. They
were kind of happening in kind ofa weird way because it wasn't supposed to
be open anymore. They're like conferencecenter was under construction and stuff, and
because the hotel was closed, therewas no staff at that hotel. So
somehow the owners decided to have thepeople working at my hotel fill in for

(15:48):
these random events that were still happeningjust after the hotel had closed. And
thus fifteen year old me was toldthat there was going to be an event
with a really important person, andmy job was just to make sure that
this person had everything that they neededand that they were happy and like get
them their food. Basically a runnerfor this person. I had no knowledge

(16:14):
of wrestling. So the day comesand I'm told I'm going next door or
a wrestling event, and people werereally really pumped about who was on this
card. Unfortunately, because I hadno knowledge or care at the time with
wrestling, I didn't know who theseguys were, and I could only tell
you that the only person I rememberbeyond Nick Foley was a guy named Scotty

(16:40):
too Hattie because his name rhymes Ijust knew I had to get this one
guy's lunch, dinner, whatever hewanted, if he needed a garbage bag
or something. It's Nick Folly,but me at the time I didn't know
that. So I meet this guy. He gives me a signed eight by
ten that at the time I didn'teven want nor ask for, in addition

(17:03):
to a black shirt with the yellowprint of the wanted Cactus Jack and he
signed it. Basically, I spentthat day flash night just being a runner
for Nick Foley. This was alsomy first complete exposure to wrestling in general.
Somehow, I guess maybe at thekid, I like knew John Ceno

(17:23):
was a person. I knew theRock was a person. But somehow I
was able to exist in a realitycompletely separate from wrestling. I don't end
up getting exposed to wrestling again inany capacity until my partner decides that he,
as an adult, wants to getback into wrestling in about twenty thirteen,

(17:44):
just spending so much time watching it. So as a way to spend
time with my partner, I startedjust you know, passively watching wrestling.
At first, I was really annoyedby it. I ended up falling in
love with the idea of the characterDean Ambrose, and you know, now
I'm a wrestling fan for about eightyears now. It is then that I

(18:06):
get exposed to the idea of thisguy Nick Foley, and I say,
fully, graph that's the guy fromall those years ago when I was fifteen
working at that hotel that I wasa runner for. And here I realized
like wrestling legend Nick Foley, bigfucking deal, and I just thought nothing
of it when I was fifteen anddoing this, you know, gig for

(18:30):
seven dollars an hour as my highschool job. It was just a really
bizarre thing. And I like thatI have that even though I didn't know
to appreciate the situation at the time. I love that everything came full circle
that I became a huge wrestling fan, and you know, I have the
memory of that at least, andI guess the T shirt in the eighth

(18:52):
by ten. Thanks for listening,and have a great day. I wasn't
trying to be a mcfolly reference.I was just telling you to have a
great day. But now I realizedit sounds like I did a Folly reference.
Anyways, have a nice day andyou have a great day. Cult
thank you for listening. I lovewhen she said have a great day,
and then it sounded like a hangup, and I was gonna be like,

(19:15):
was that a play? And thensomehow she unhung up the phone and
then realized that she did a badpun but it wasn't on purpose, but
it sounded like it was on purpose. I think the fun of the story
is that she didn't know who mcfoleywas at the time. I think if
you are an obsessed professional wrestling fanat fifteen years old working at some hotel

(19:40):
and Mickfoli is there, that isa great story for you to share on
the podcast. But there's something evenmore special about it if you have no
clue who this man is. Andthen you have to think about being a
fifteen year old and the way mcfoleypresents God. I wonder if she was
like, is that a larger thanlife star or is that man unhoused?

(20:03):
Because it could have been both.But either way, he definitely has a
presence, and it's a specific presence. It just depends on how you take
it at the time. So ifyou knew him at the time, it
would be wow. But the funof it is that you have no clue
who he is. He's just aspectacle of some kind. And then here
we go fast forward whatever it is, another fifteen years and you find out

(20:25):
that he is the Fugazi of professionalwrestling, that he's not just a professional
wrestler, he is the cult hero. He is the cult classic. Maybe
pun intended, maybe no pundit intended. So I will say this, I'm
going to say, she is superlucky that this was mcfoley and not just

(20:48):
any other scumbag professional wrestler being givena fifteen year old girl to be your
specific handler. Like, I thinkhe's the only one where it's like,
okay, looking back, like shewas safe, we hope, right,
But foof so many other wrestlers,that's like a like, I'm sorry to
say, but that's a fucking scarything to even think about. So you're

(21:10):
in good hands with mcfoley. I'msure he was the kindest, nicest person.
He always is. I don't knowif anyone really has bad things to
say about experiences meeting mc foley,And usually I tell people this, if
you do have a bad experience,maybe it was you and maybe it necessarily

(21:30):
wasn't mcfoley at the time. Also, I've been on thousands of professional wrestling
shows pre being some kind of starin the wrestling industry, post being some
kind of star in the wrestling industry, and never have I, nor like
my friends who are big stars inwrestling, been given like a handler where

(21:51):
if we want anything, someone willgo fetch it for us, specifically them.
That is their job. I guessthat's what it's like being a big
star in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Intwo thousand and sixteen, fun story Wrestling
anonymous, please hold for sponsors.Two thousand and thirteen, me and my

(22:18):
friends decided we were going to goon a wrestling trip and we're gonna go
to Found for Glory and see TNAin San Diego. But we wanted to
make the most of our trip.We ended up buying the TNA travel package
and to our surprise, TNA putus up in the same hotel as the

(22:40):
entire TNA wrestling roster. We wererubbing elbows at the bar with the likes
of ODB and James Storm. Honestly, it was cool to see the wrestlers
inside of the bar, but afteryou know, buying a wrestler appear and
maybe getting a picture and sharing abouta minute, most wrestlers went upon their

(23:03):
way, like you know, theywere on the left side of the bar,
and all the fans kind of stayedat tables on the right side,
not really co mingling all that much. Besides for one wrestler, Hernandez,
who basically seemed like he didn't wantanything to do with the wrestlers that were
there and actually wanted to hang outwith the fans that were there to you

(23:26):
know, just the season wrestling.He wanted to talk about, um,
you know, what they liked aboutthe product and um, you know why
they they actually you know, cameout to the show that he wanted to
say thank you for for them beingthere, because he gave him somewhere to
perform. As the night went on, the bar ended up closing early and

(23:48):
my friend, who actually was fromSan Diego, said that he knew a
place that they could go to toget one more last round for the night.
And to our surp rights, Hernandezjumped into the car with us and
we drove to a local bar umwhere we where we got one more last
round uh and then picked up somebeers uh to take back to the hotel.

(24:15):
We went back to the hotel,we jumped on the elevator UH to
our surprise when when his floor cameup, the door opened, and when
we were thinking it was the endof an awesome night hanging out with Hernandez
on the town, and he askedus as the as the bell was about
to go off, y'all coming,And we actually went into hernandez room and

(24:41):
and and talked more about wrestling andshared a few more drinks. Um Me,
being the open at wrestling fan youknow, wanted to ask about um
Lax versus the Dudley's in the steelcage match with the electric electrifying cage.
U. My friend was hitting me, trying to make me be cool while

(25:03):
they were talking about taco trucks inthe state of Texas. I'll never forget
Hernandez basically just being one of thefans, one of the guys just like
us, and making us feel normalbecause sometimes you go out in the world
and there's not as many wrestling fansand he basically wanted to be one of
us that night and made us feelnormal. So well, that's what this

(25:27):
show is all about. Great callright there that Hernandez is like begging for
your friendship, and I'll tell youwhat. I've been on a lot of
shows with Hernandez over the years,literally over twenty years. The first show
I did with her Nanda's first timeI ever met him was I believe two
thousand and one at the New York'sElk Lodge that ECW used to run.

(25:51):
He came up from Texas in Ringof Honors. So I've known him for
over twenty years, and I wouldnever believe the story, you know,
if you didn't have so many detailsto it, if it was just like
casually said, I wouldn't believe it. That doesn't sound to me the way
that Hernand's acts. And I thinkthat's why I really enjoyed the story so
much, just because what a leftturn that it took. That you go

(26:15):
out to the bar, you seeall the wrestlers by themselves, guilty,
guilty. You know what, whenI was younger, like, I think
back to my Ring of Honor,early Ring of Honor days, and I
think back to being with all thewrestlers at the after shows. But then
always there was so many fans andthere was so much mingling going on.
And then I think to myself,like, as I get older, maybe

(26:37):
I started like wanting to stay inmy wrestler pocket necessarily at these kind of
places. And Hernand is not ayoung man so like he's definitely in his
older like stage of his wrestling career. And I love that. I feel
maybe in his younger days he wasto himself. In his older days,
He's like, I'm gonna mingle withall of the wrestling fans, not the

(27:00):
people I work with, because I'msick of them and I hate them and
they annoy me in the locker room. I'm going to find me some new
friends and I'm going to go outon the town and yeah, like you
know what, I think internationally thatwould be something you do if I was
like in Europe or Japan. ButI feel as wrestlers, we just travel
America all the time. That's whatwe do, and we just want to

(27:22):
go to the bar and then goto the hotel. And it's just wild.
A is he doing this every singlenight? Just going from place to
place bar hopping with fans. It'samazing and I think the world of Fernanda's
for doing this. I think it'sso cool and I think it's a great
experience for you the listener to beable to have that with a wrestler who's

(27:44):
so open to doing something like that. And the other thing that stuck with
me on that call was I lovethat TNA is just like, oh,
yeah, you could be with thewrestlers. We don't care. Like I
know the wrestlers probably want to beleft alone and not told where they're sleeping
for the night, but we wantto sell these packages. So you're fucking
staying with the wrestlers. It iswhat it is. August sixteenth, twenty

(28:08):
twenty one, my daughter was born, and she was my third child,
but the first one that we hadsome complications with. We knew something was
wrong immediately, but they told usit was standard fluid attention and should resolve
itself in a few days. Soshe was in the hospital and I lived

(28:29):
in Florida at the time. Shewas born in Texas, but flew back
to black to Florida, and thenI had tickets to the Chicago aw Show
the first dance. I wasn't goingto be in town but twenty four hours,
so i'd fly in landed about fivethirty in the morning. It's my
first time taking a solo trip.I get a five dollar Metro card and

(28:52):
explore the city. On that card. I'd take plus rides, I'd take
real ray rides. I go tothe Mexican Museum. I try to give
her food spots. I go tooutside Wrigley Field. They were playing the
Kansas City Royals, which I usedto live in Kansas for a time.

(29:15):
Anyway, we're getting excited for theshow. I go to the one hour
D store or the prosling D storethere and do some shopping there, get
a cool back, and somewhere alongI traveled through the day, I get
a phone call from my daughter's mom. They tell me, they tell me

(29:36):
it's more serious than what they sought. They say that she has a condition
called hypoplastic left heart syndrome, andthey give me the basic summary of what
that means, and it's life changingand it means she will have to have
three major open heart surgeries, ifnot possibly a transplant. And so once

(29:57):
I get done on that called,I called my job that's in Florida,
and I immediately have to quit myjob on the spot because I know I
have to move back to Texas andsupport my daughter. So that was a
very emotional two phone calls to make. Luckily, the company I worked for
was a great company and they werevery supportive and understanding. I went into

(30:21):
that show in Chicago and with alot of emotion, and I had called
my mom telling her the update onmy daughter, and I told her,
you know, Mom, sometimes Iknow I know other people don't get it,
but sometimes wrestling for me is acathartic experience and I need this crowd
on this day for this moment forme, right help, And when it

(30:44):
kicked it off, I was Ilost it that I was crying, just
like that guy that showed on screenman, And it made for a hell
of a moment and a hell ofa nick day for me. And that's
the power of professional wrestling. AndI've talked about it on this show before
that there's people in the crowd.Right, Let's say that shows ten thousand

(31:08):
people. There's ten thousand people inthe crowd going through ten thousand different emotions
in their life. And sometimes maybeas a wrestler, we look out and
we're just like fans watching wrestling.But when you pick out the idea that
everybody everywhere, at every time isgoing through something emotionally, you know,

(31:29):
maybe happy, but in this instance, I can't even say sad, like
just heavy, emotionally heavy. AndI just love how he put it,
like I need these people here,you know the call at what was it
at the stadium? Like at thearena? I guess it's like a blessing

(31:51):
to be at a place where thedesign of the event you're seeing is just
to lose yourself and you know,who am I to say if in that
moment you need to lose yourself,you need to be focused on your future.
But you know, like, what'swhat's the guy to do if you're
in that and you get that calland uh, you know wrestling is there

(32:12):
for him, and uh, that'syou know, That's why I think we
all love it. It's so specialand we all have these wild stories.
And that's why I love these kindof calls. I love a fun phone
call. I love a funny story, but I also I love to hear
