with a very special guest. You may know him from

(01:12):
jem Fest. You may know him as one of the
best commentators in wrestling history. Compton Mania's own Deshaun Showtime Watkins.
What's going on, sir?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
What's the deal? Woozy? Whoam? Thanks for having me on,
Mike g Man, appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Absolutely. We got to give a special thanks to two
they order for putting this together. So shout outs to
her wherever she is is in the nerd verse out there. Yeah,
that's what that's here. It all coalesces together. You know
what I'm saying today, It's up that I don't really

(01:55):
get to talk about, but so I'm happy to geek
out about it a little bit with you. And that's
just wrestling, just the culture of wrestling, and more specifically
wrestling finishers. One of my favorite things growing up as kids,
finish you know, you know what I mean. And it's
just those one of those things that we all did

(02:17):
as kids. Man, we're all in the school yard, you know,
stone Coat stunning our friends and you know I'm saying,
getting caught accidentally trying to do like a power bomb.
So I just want to ask Sean, what's your history
with wrestling finishers? What are your thoughts on it? Man?

Speaker 3 (02:31):
You know, finishers are like it's like the finale, Like
what's the build up how how impactful is it?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Does it?

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Like like like finishers, it's the boat, you know, it's
it just puts a it puts a pin in it.
And certain athletes are wrestlers. I'm so caught because they're
just athletes, you know, yes, exactly what It's like, they
just got a way to doing it. Like can I

(03:03):
give an example.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
A thousand percent?

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yes, that's an honorable mention. I will say like DDP
and Randy Jordan, same difference. They both delivered it differently,
but it was the same move, you know.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
It's it's funny. I was just talking to a friend
of mine earlier. We were just kind of going over
my list and just running it back to my head,
and it's like, Mike, how do you not have the
diamond cutter? It's like such a beautiful move and like
you said, it's just technically it's a DDT, right, but
everybody puts their own swag on it. Everybody puts their
own touch on it to make it theirs, you know

(03:41):
what I mean. And that's just speaks to that Dan
you maul right, the the it's almost like the entire
wrestler's personality in one move. Yes, like the good finishers
are really just a testament to that entire rest, that
entire athletes kind of modus operandi sort of speak, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
And Mike g it also reminds me of like Street
Fighter or Mortal Comeback, Get over here, Come here, like
it's yeah, you know, like dude, the lu king, you know,
the bicycle kicks. It's it gives it character, it makes
it mean so much more. But your setup gotta be

(04:26):
just as good as your bank, you know what I mean.
It has to.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
It has to coalesce. It's like that storytelling, right, you
get to the final crescendos and out of nowhere you
get an RKAO bam. You know what I mean, that
just happened. Especially when you have a show, it's just
it's just so impactful. It changes your life, you know
what I mean, Just and it just changes the way
you see just entertainment and you're forever changed. Just like

(04:55):
as a kid, I grew up on this. I loved
wrestling as a kid and even as a young adult man.
It's just one of those things that were just on
all the time. Because my uncle, my uncle was Oscar
and men on a mission.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
He was, oh you know, ladies and gentlemen. Mike g
Is royalty ladies.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
No, I'm like, I'm like a duke.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Bro you you you got people that touch that turf.
That's holy turf, man.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
It was, and that's what kind of just got me
in because every time he was in town, we would
go to a show, we would go backstage, we would
just be there and kind of see the atmosphere, you
know what I mean, be part of it. And that's
something that always stuck with me and just made me
love love love wrestling w c W, w w F
even you know e c W just couldn't get enough

(05:46):
of it, and I never get to talk about it
so that we could do that to them. Perfect. So
let's go ahead and get into our list top ten.
Finish her. Let's go ahead and get started. Will Ze
number five take us, start us off? Where are we at?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Listen the pedigree? Listen? This move was so devastating. It's
only five because I hated Triple H. This move could
possibly be number one. First of all, look at the devastation.
Triple H hooks your arms. Ugh, you're in between those
buff thighs and when he's pedigreeing you into the ground,

(06:30):
that's head first, and sometimes he won't even let go
with your arms and mina. There is a video of
him dropping somebody flat on their neck. This move right here,
you have to be trained. This move is devastation.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
You're not going nowhere.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
This guy. You hated this guy, you hated him, like literally,
and then the way how he was set it up,
it just it just it used to burn my soul.
It's still my soul that Austin and beat him in
the in the what was that? The three stages of
hell match? Mssed bro.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
He had to he had to lock in, dude, like
triple triple h is a goat, instant goat right. As
much you love to hate him, you know what I mean,
even in his degeneration, degeneration x Era, you know what
I'm saying, You just love to hate the entire squadron
was you know, you know, we're all we're all jackasses,
you know, you know, crack shot in the earth, you

(07:35):
know what I'm saying. It just didn't get them though,
you know. But the pedigree, it's such a unique move.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
It's a great thing to go ahead. I'm sorry, no,
it is.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
You're absolutely right for his for his uh, you know
his background for Hunter Hurst Hemsley before he became the game.
The pedigree, you know, like this is where I come from,
and it's is just one of those classic moves that
you would never forget and if you if you've ever
and I'm sure the people who did them on didn't
forget to be there because face first, like you said,
between the walls of H Triple H, you're gonna remember

(08:10):
that ship dead as dead as perfect. So I had
to go number five, my pick number five, one on
one with the great one himself, Dwayne the Rock Johnson
the People's elbow, one of the nastiest, most, like I said,

(08:34):
character defining moves in sports entertainment. I would say, he
gets you lined up. He's so disrespectful. He kicks your
legs in the place, you know what I mean. He
gives one more look, gets the crowd marking out, throws
his his elbow, He throws his elbows, elbows cover and
he does a little he does a little dance, runs around,

(08:58):
but one side of the ring, the other side of
the ring stops slams. It's just it's such a simple move,
but it's so the Rock, even more so than the
rock bottom. To me, there's one where he did the
classic people's elbow where he's literally like in slacks, in
like dress shoes and he slides up. It is so clean,

(09:18):
it's like the Coens People's elbow. Ever, this is one
of those moves where I was just like this guy once.
Once he kind of locked in that move, I knew
he was, like, this guy's going places. Man, this guy
is beyond belief, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
It's wow, This this move is fucking It's Mozart, It's
Kobe Bryant hitting the last second fadeaway jumper. It's it's
Michael Jordan with the switch a rule. It's first of all,
the move is super ridiculous. You got this guy who's
built like a Greek god, and it's Johnson is hanging

(09:53):
right above you. You're looking up and hey, it's the
one the rocks Johnson. Johnson, It's still and at you
while you're right under him.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Paul game over, man.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
And look look at the formation on this thing right here,
Paul's and then look he's he's looking at some fan
who's about to get lucky for granting the people's elbow
right now, and just like what you eloquently stated as
how he like in the slacks, how he did the
perfect slide, and then for bam, like Mick Foley talks

(10:32):
about how he saw him practicing this shit. It's like, Yo,
this guy is crazy and it's just like it's synonymous.
It's goat type shit.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, it's truly, he.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Had his best. There's never been another elbow. It's more
synonymous as the people's elbow, Chutch.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Chuck Man, Tabernacle bro Like, I just it's just number five,
just because I'm like out of all the like attitude era.
You knows, he's my absolute favorite SmackDown. He has a
show named after him. No one else got that, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
You know, Yeah, one more thing I forgot to mention.
He's Michael Jackson.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
He pretty much is.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
He's Michael like like.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
This is he commands the crowd. When he shows up,
it's lights out. You just have to say a word, Yeah,
I'm sorry, no worries. You know when Mike is like
looking out in the crowd and people are just cheating, Yes,
that's the vibe.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yes, And it's in his face before you even see
it in his body. He has you here is.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
How can we do a list without the rock bro
That's what I was, just like, yeah, I have to,
and it's like, okay, people's elbow are the rock bottom.
I personally love the people's elbow more because it's more
personality and there's so many variations of it, and it
says him connect with the crowd, him blocking in and
he's you know, he's the great one. And it's usually
just about done with the match when this, when this comes,

(12:07):
when you bust this one out, you know what I'm saying,
God to love it, got to love it definitely. Here
we go, I mean speaking of God's right like Mount
everest of moves right here, take us.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Away another devastation of all devastations. And look look at
my man edge right now. First of all, the blood
is rushing to your head, right okay. And then further,
you don't want to be in that position period, you
know what I mean, unless it's rough married or something.
But you are about to get driven to through the

(12:48):
mat head hitting ground first on that mat. Now, listen,
there's only this much cushion in that ring. Under that
there's like would this thick? And around that and up
under that is one hundred percent steal and you feel
all of it, all that electricity is going through your neck.

(13:11):
Everyone can't even ain't even allowed to do this maneuver.
This maneuver should be banned. The damn near shortened Austin's career.
This light here the tombstone pile driver and it's the Undertaker.
Oh my god, du it's over.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
It's over with the Undertaker. Can you can we just
talk about the Undertaker supremacy. Before we got Stone Cold,
before we got the Rock, before we got John Cena,
it was Undertaker all day, every day. He was larger
than life. Talk about commanding an audience, right, it comes
out the lights, Dammit, that music comes on Paul bearry

(13:49):
my under You just get hyped and he's coming out
with that black trench coat. He's my second favorite wrestler
of all time.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Hi, he's definitely one of my tops.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
He uh.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
I remember one of the earlier years, before they even
turned the lights off. He they wasn't even turning the
lights off yet, and I remember we were terrified as
ship Like. I just remember like kids being like, what
the hell is this? It was just.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Rollers eyes back bro oh Man.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
And then when they start turning the lights off, adding
thunder and lightning, smoke fire here, It's like hell no,
like dude, this was a nightmare. This is Jason come
to life.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Dude. When he would we would walk across the top
rope with your arm off, jacked up, you at the
mercy of the Undertaker, you come down and slam on
it with his arm. That was just the coolest thing.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
You don't saw big Man be that nimble.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Can fly. I mean, there was there was nothing this guy. Okay,
he would be like I wasn't gonna say a Derrick Novinsky,
but he would be like a Yokic but in like
the nineties, like he could do anything. The Undertaker could
make anybody. He was amazing.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
And he could sell you know what I'm saying he was.
He was really like you said, like a like like
a joke, like a like a you know what I'm saying.
Like he was really like a jack of all trades. Yeah,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
You believed him that that that character. You believed it?

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Okay, I don't you know. I just want to mention
real quick. My favorite Undertaker moment is when remember when
Undertaker died and we had that Fake Undertaker. That was
that was being that was being possessed by Teddy Biassi
And it was like was it Survivor series or was
it When he came back and killed the he literally
like triple tombstone the Fake Undertaker and got him up

(15:57):
out of there.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
You know what I'm saying, fake Diesel Right, wasn't that Caine?

Speaker 1 (16:01):
I think that was Kane before Kine?

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, that was doing. They had the Great Undertaker and
the Purple Undertaker. This is like a video game like
if you pick the same character the other guy get
the same character, different colors and Doug Yeah, and we
believed it.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Tell mean nothing. I was on the school yard the
next day. You know, he killed, He's dead, just totally
marked out.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Man. We believed it too.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
It was that real man, good times, good time. So
oh wow, gotta go, it's taking breaking, taking the back
old school. Gotta go. The nature boy Rick Flair with
the infamous four Horsemen figure for Leglock. You want to
know why I love this move so damn much because

(16:53):
this is the very first ractually move I had to
feel to understand. When I was a kid, my dad
would put me in the figure for leg and have
me hemmed up, and I was just like, you know,
it actually feel that it's real, and that concreted in
my mind that wrestling was real. If this move can
hurt this much, then all of it's up for grabs.
The hits, the back, you know, the belly, the back suplexes,

(17:16):
all of that. And on top of that, Rick, I'm
a I'm a sucker for submission moves. I think they're
super cool. I think it's one of those things where
it helps to build mind match tension. Get someone in
the figure four leg lock, the you know, the guy
has to crawl to the ropes for them to break it,
or if they're athletic enough, they can reverse the figure
four leglock while it's leg locked. It's just too it's

(17:39):
too real. And you know, the Nature Boy was one
of my when I was real, little little. He's one
of my favorite wrestlers because I like the Four Horsemen
and he was just he was the leader, you know
what I mean. He would come out with that that
theme music that just blared into he would talk the
most shit in American history, you know what I'm saying,
and then he didn't get you in that lock. It's
just it's to me, it's synonymous with w It just

(18:01):
brings me back to that time watching Nitro, you know
what I mean. So you know you have to flip
a coin whill we be watching tonight r Nitro? Some
nights it was Nitro, you know what I mean, just
just being able to see those old school moves. It's
just one of my favorites of all time.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Absolutely, I'm with you one hundred and ten percent. This
is one of the goats right here. This is the
limousine riding jet flying, you know what I mean. And
it wasn't just that he put you in the figure
four like he'll dance around before you do it, you know,
it was just like, oh my god, like he That's

(18:40):
another that's Leonardo da Vinci. You know another painter who
freaking just and like we talked about The Rock too,
who was epic at cutting promos. Imagine if The Rock
and Rick Flair was cutting like this. Rick Flair was it.
I mean, not only he was another dude that he

(19:02):
was styled, he was profiling. You wanted to be him,
You wanted to you you you imitated Rick Flair. Rick
Flair was he was just about everybody's hero like and
that move right there has put many of legends.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
On them as on big stages. Yeah yeah, whoo.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
To be the man, you gotta beat the man.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
The man, you know, you know what I'm saying. I
hit him with the strap burd good old figure four
leglock man jeez, number three, number three, number three.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Now this was tough because there's so many power bombs.
I like, I like Kevin Nash, I like Tycho Sis,
I like, uh, a whole bunch of power bombs. But
the last ride is he put you up here and
as you see, he's grabbing his tight ti blackies because

(20:07):
they enough whites, and he's grabbing them suckers, and he's
extending you out here to give you more of a
high far and damn, it was just the validity of
how the Undertaker delivered that sucker. It was anonymous. And
this is another reason why the Undertaker was so great,

(20:31):
because for a big guy, he had high flying moves.
Because when he first started, he was just next shot, kick, poke, slam,
you know, it was very simple. But to see his
offensive game open up, even like the little corner combinations
he used to throw to But this right here, if

(20:51):
the tombstone didn't get you. You ain't getting up from this, it's.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
All with This is one of his later moves. Th like,
this was one he developed later at his career, And
it's cool to see wrestlers evolve, you know what I mean.
They're more than their signature move. And he created a
brand new one that you can get. You can find
yourself in on any given night, you know what I mean.
And like the power bomb, right, it's like one of

(21:15):
my favorite moves as well. You got you some great
Cycle said, b used to You know, I used to
love Cycle said, because he used to look like saber
Tooth from X Men. And when I was a kid,
that was like cycle sticould plays saber Tooth and that
was like all I could think about, you know.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Oh man, And then he used to give everybody the man.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
I can't it.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Was, Hey, didn't his hair look like chicken top Ramlin though.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
It's always wet, always wet, It is always always like lubricated. Yeah,
should be ice coated in that theater, ice coating that
in that stadium.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
He's sweat.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Geez man, it's like power bombs, you know, like he said,
Kevin Nash, you know what I'm saying. During those good
old n w O days, you know, back when he
was putting cats on their back, you know, with that music,
and it's just like pick your poison, what's your favorite
power bomb it? And because the Undertaker soft flag and
he has so much, you know, like ring charisma, he

(22:18):
just put his own stink on it and just made
it legendary. The last ride.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Where his head is where you can see he's he's
making sure he's going to hit a part of the
mat that he's.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
He's like, you're gonna hit that part of the bat.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yeah, and you like, like, man, it's just the psychology
is insane.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
I love that you can kind of see them protecting
each other while brutalizing each other. And he's like very
as as savage as it seems, he's very clinical. It's
very methodical. Like you said, he has his point. Okay,
this is where we all right? Is that your it
looks like true? I could always tell about the back Yeah,
he's all right, all right, Joan Paula fac This is

(23:02):
where this is where we hit. All right, all right, JP,
this is where we're hitting. You know what I'm saying?
So ready, damn. You know, he just loved to see
it ed once again. Undertakers just a symbol of his greatness.
He has two moves on this list. Man is amazing.
That just volumes right to man.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Oh man, Taker was just he's like Michael Jordan. He
got to like him just going to the ropes and
coming for a flying clothesline. That's a freaking signature, like
by him flying. He started freaking jumping from the out going.
He started doing lucha libre type ship as he got older,
like from out like what Undertaker was a freaking hog yo.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Man, he might hog yo, he might have been a
real life saying. I think the older he got, the
more powerful he got. And just even in his later days,
he's just like you said, she was still bouncing around
like he was Raymisterio Junior or something, you know what
I'm saying, And i'd.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Be hearing him be so tough on hisself like that match.
I'm like, take her. You could have took a dukie,
it didn't matter.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
You were like like take her, like what no, a
consummate professional right like right.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Now he could be one hundred and twelve years old,
somebody gonna be like undertaking time for you to bring
your ass out here come on, lights coming off like
he's a character. Is never gonna die.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Nah, not at all. He's just forever. And it's like
you think that wrestling, he's just Mount Rushmore. This is
a round Mount Rushmore wrestler right here. Number three for me,
go bir.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Doom doom.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh that was what a time to be alive. Come
out with that sparks fly dog in his face. He
blows the smoke out of his mouth like a dragon. Bro,
what's up?

Speaker 3 (25:08):
He starts these little arm ships whatever those.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Goldberg was a menace.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Doug Goldberg was like a force.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
He came like a hurricane and just wrecked shop for
like what five years straight?

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Are you saying he's handing Montana.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
He came in like he's like you thought you had
a favorite wrestler. Then Goldberg came. It was like, okay, Goldberg,
I guess Gobert. Everyone's wearing the twenty three jersey no
matter what state you from. You know what I'm saying.
He was one of those where just dope dude, and
like that spear he would lot, he would you would

(25:54):
be all dazed to confuse. At one end of the ring,
he would line you up like a football player and
just come in and spell hit you with that shoulder.
That shoulder tackle dog so visceral.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
You know what I'm saying, He's got to be the
best person to ever execute the skitch the spear. I mean,
Rhino is right there too. Rhino's score was was sick.
But I think Goldberg's presence, especially when he was in
w C W lane, that motherfucking boy, that sucker was like, oh,
like a spear could be a fit. Like you said,

(26:27):
it was like a setup, but that alone was a
finisher dog, and certain people sold that sucker like no
other dog.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Bill Goldberg. Man, It's just I just like, do you choose?
What was it? The jackknife? His his actual finisher. He
gets you up like this, bring you down, bro. But
it's like to everybody, you didn't matter. His hands were
rated e for everyone, Bro. Everybody got it.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Streak.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Bro, you know you don't have a streak like that.
Would everybody get to taste, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Man, And he destroyed Hogan fast quick, crazy.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
I can't believe Hogan let it happen. Hogan let him
Holking sold it.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Man, Hogan only Yeah, Hogan ain't gonna do too many
of it. Look here, braw.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Built this house, you know, so to let him go
crazy and let like okay, we gotta It almost reminds
me of the Rock where it's like, okay, we got
a life one that's just let it go, you know
what I mean. It has like that brock Lessener energy
where it's like we have a monster that's at the
monster monster for as long as he can monster, you

(27:41):
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
And he had that ultimate warrior spirit in a sense
where he still had that mysterious tough guy like it
was just it was just a and it was just
like he felt no pain, like it was a damn
terminator bro shit, you know what I mean, Like you
get slammed and ego, you can recalibate, you know what

(28:06):
I mean, recalibrate like what what's happening here? But yeah,
Goldberg was.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
A monster man. He was a demon bro. Yeah, he
was one of my favorites growing up there. Gold Goldberg
just unstoppable force of nature that just kind of came
and just pretty much held down the business by himself
really at that time and was just he was almost
like the precursor two Attitude era kind of like edginess,

(28:34):
you know what I mean, Like you said, quite how
many wrestlers of his caliber could not cut a promo,
you know what I mean, but still be menacing, still
command the crowd, you know what I mean. And it's
he's just one of those where he could. But like
you said, he was a man a few words you
were just kind of you would run out of nowhere.
Do what's thing?

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Well?

Speaker 1 (28:53):
That damn Goldberg you know, spirit you real quick.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
You didn't need him to say shit.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
I mean, just dune dumn.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
He come all the way from the back and ship.
You got the police, the us S, all the castleman,
everybody walking his mother out because he's one of the
most dangerous people ever, you know. And he freaking come
out through the sparklers, through the explosions, and it's just
like he's unfazed.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
He's that ship.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
I ain't got a chance like people. In three seconds,
it's over with. Like the longest entrance ever for the
quickest victory ever.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Do the intro was longer than the match.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
He would go there ticon you up in the nineties,
little two pieces of the biscuit, spirit jack knife. All right,
what's for dinner?

Speaker 3 (29:50):
You know? What I mean, and the crowd would go
nuts does like it was just like what and it was?
That was brilliant. That was one of the w c
w's greatest creations of all times. It delivered on on
they created a superstar because at that time too, if
we go specifically in that time, I hated Goldberg for

(30:13):
this specific reason. At first I liked him mm hmm,
and they started comparing him to Austin.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
I had to choose the babe you choose and it
was like fuck that, So that is a perfect segue. Wow, segway, God,
let's go talk about him.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
Man, this this was okay, this is probably my third
era greatest wrestler of all times. My first era would
be Hogan Warrior Zeus, second era will be Bret Hart,
Sean Michaels. And then we started going into like after
Brett Hart left, it was Austin was everything, Okay, I

(31:06):
walked to like Austin. I was an Austin over the
rock guy. I was if stone Cold, anywhere stone Cold
was going, I was going if he evinced, I'm with
Vins wherever stone I'm like j R.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Stone count don't count.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Like I cried when Austin lost the cane in the
first Blood match, like like in this stunner. This stunner
has developed through the years because at first I hated
Austin because I was a breadth to hit man heart fan.
And when he did the stunner back in the days,
he didn't do the kick.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
He just grabbed you in the standard.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah and and and it was just like But then
once he fucking caught on to the setting him up,
boom boom, boom boom. You giving everybody stunners everywhere you go,
You walking up on people's stunner. Stunner, stunner. And that's when,
at this specific time, people were comparing the stunner and

(32:12):
the diamond cutter, because the diamond cutter is more of
a lay down. The stunner is more on you butt.
Some people want to give you the cutter. Some people
want to give you the stunner. This move, you dried
the neck into the shoulder. Austin had them shoulders where
it looked like the pipe could bus on that situation
and people would sell it. It was just one of
the most devastating moves, and Austin was just man, I

(32:36):
can't wait to meet Austin and have a beer with Austin.
I wonder if man that that him and the hit
Man as two people, I definitely want to sit down
and like just pick the brain.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
M h exactly what can what you put it so
perfectly like just the era of Austin, Like he came
in and just really got comfortable, you know what I mean.
He had that voice, that rasping voice, you know what
I mean, and he just talk about someone who could
sell their ass off in any situation. You always were

(33:11):
on his side, what you know what you know, you're
always rooting for Austin. He was the perfect He was
almost the perfect anti establishment back when Vince was doing
his you know, being the Last Boss sort of speak,
you know, and it was like you had to root
for Austin, you know, and he was just and he

(33:31):
was once again that kind of fun kind of gaped
before the rock came. He kind of literally took over everything.
And there was a time where, like you said, everybody
was getting stunded as your grandma, your dog, your pillow,
you know what I'm saying. Everybody was getting kicked to
the stomach about flip a ball, get in trouble at school, Doug,

(33:52):
you know, what I'm saying, And I honestly.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Think Stone COLDE is like a Tupac figure to wrestling.
That's like without the death but just just like when
you think about Pac and you think about some of
the significant things that happened with death, Row Austin was

(34:19):
like that getting walked out by the police, the whole
you know what I mean. It was like.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
He was anti establishment, he was anti wrestling, yes, you
know what I mean. And it just made him more
powerful and made his made people sell, you know, mark
out over him more and he just became a brand.
He became like he became the WWE and it was
no denying him. And when he was on top before

(34:48):
his injury, that guy was un Sky's the limit, you
know what I mean? For for Stone Cold Steve Austin,
how many times have you picked them plane? You know
what I'm saying. Like w w E SmackDown, you know
what I'm saying. I PlayStation two, you.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Got something in the corner to the new thress, pressed.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
The elbow like the whole, the whole move.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Package, Like you gotta pull out the whole.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Like, man, we could do a you could do a
top ten just on wrestling video games because those were
like classics.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Everybody thousand Mayhan like like we get like yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, it's it's real in the field, you know what
I'm saying versus raw versus raw. Don't get me started,
bro my number two man.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Talk about I did not want to mention it, and
I was like, I'm not gonna specifically mention this one
because I knew, But go ahead, Mike g.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Like, can we say one of the most creative power
bombs of all time?

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Like just.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Like Razor Ramone was my favorite wrestlers of all time
because he was such a scumbag and I just love
to hate him. Another one of those he loved to
hate him. And the first time I saw the Razor's edge,
I was like, what is he doing? He has him
like in a cross, like a cruciffix. He drops him
over his back and slams him down in his right,

(36:20):
on his right, on his traps, in his shoulder, and
right on the back of his neck, and he throws
you down in that razor's edge. Then there was a
time he did it from like the top rope. He
got them up there, he did a razor's edge. I
was like, this guy is just too cool for school man, Like,
this is like one of my favorite wrestling moves technically
of all time. It's just and you don't see it done.

(36:41):
You know, sometimes other wrestlers may pay homage and kind
of use a move. I can't think of anyone else
who's done it quite like Razor Ramone, but I can.
I will stand corrected of so you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
This, This is gonna be hard to copy and redo
because this guy is just a style. He was very
safe with it too. I mean this this move could
be you you really putting more emphasis on the neck area,
which which is why I say the Tomb's Son and
Pedigred one of the diabolical work. But you can destroy somebody.

(37:17):
But yeah, and then also look look at how he dressed.
He was just so drippy. He come out with the chain,
the hair curled up, the toothpick he got the superman curl.
Like the colors he wore was vibrant and represent Miami
dope dealer type stuff, Tony Montana type. Like you talking

(37:39):
about just doom doom yo, hey yo, Like, I mean
thing about him was just big time and like you said,
it's like a cross. It's like crucif like you're on
the cross, like it's devastating selling everything. Just razors, one

(38:02):
of the goats.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
One of the goats, another person who can could cut
a hell of a promo. Didn't need no help. Very
not soft spoken, but almost like low spoken. He wasn't
He wasn't the warrior. He wasn't jittering with energy. He
was just kind of too cool for you. He was
too cool for school, you know. He was just too chill.

(38:26):
But when he got into the ring, it was devastation.
It was he was just finished things off and just
one of the coolest names of all time. The Razor's
edge bro.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
I like the way how he punched like like like
it was like he just was and then the vast
too with the like man too swagged out. Man, he
was that dude, Doug. And listen, this is gonna sound
really weird. But as a kid, I wanted to have

(38:57):
hair on my chest because it am Taco meet, Doug
here on no parts of.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
My chest like this is.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
I'm sure my wife is happy, but man, I wanted
to have the taco meat right there.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Man with the Taco Meet, I could never get my
hair to do what he do. I was tight man like,
why can't id Razor remote?

Speaker 3 (39:17):
No?

Speaker 1 (39:18):
That was it meant to be man, good times, good times.
Rat number one's here, Wow, number one's here. This I
can't argue this, Jesus.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Ten music, Dog and first of all, at this specific match,
at its time and place, I liked both of them,
and it was hard for me to choose who I
want to win. I felt like, either way it goes,
I was gonna be happy for whoever. But a more
part of me kind of wanted Brett to win. But

(39:55):
that Sweet Chin Music, sweet that stump schoo man, the
set of Dog and then a kick and then it
was just like he was kicking their brains out their heads.
It was like a Mike Tyson left hook. The Sweet

(40:19):
Chin Music was like an explosion to the head like this.
This kick had It's like his feet could have been weapons,
which means nobody was kicking out of the sweetch In Music.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Now, no one.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
You had to be undertaker or some kind of big
time situation. That move was just perfectly executed for somebody
with Sean's stature. He didn't have to throw people around.
You have these feet, he could move, he could fly
one of my greatest wrestlers of all times. And then

(40:54):
Brett hard is definitely right there with him. And then
well his gear. Sean Michaels used to have gear that
matches the boots to be red sometimes blue with the
black with the like just the branding Yo. I mean, yeah,
one of the most devastating moves in the history of

(41:16):
wrestling period and it was simple by Kid.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
The heart the heartbreak Kid. It's crazy. We're talking about
finishers and it's like, you can't get more finisher than
the super kick, than the Sweet Chin Music. It's like
we used to work classic, but I'd like to use
iconic for this because it's just one of those moves
that you knew they were done. It's just there are

(41:39):
a few wrestling moves you may kick out of this,
you may kick out of that. You're not kicking out
of sweet Chain Music. It's just it was a rap.
Like you said, you have to be the damn near
undertaker to eat a Sweet Chin Music kick and still
be able to tell the tale. And this is one
of those wrestling matches, This match in particular, where I
was the most emotionally vested I've ever been this match

(42:02):
because it was like you, I was split because my
personal favorite wrestler of all time is Breadtha Hitman Heart.
I just loved everything that stood for He's my favorite, Like, like,
if I had to fight, it's him. He's number one.
And to see that match take an hour and then
going back and forth and there, dude, he did his finisher.

(42:23):
He got him in a sharp shooter. It was just
like so riveting and my heart was broken when he lost, dude,
Like but at the same time, I was entertained. That's
one of those first times you gotta grew up a
little bit. It's like, yeah, my guy lost, But this
is probably the best thing I've ever seen in that
sweet him music that like you said, the precursor him

(42:43):
slapping his leg doing that stomp and JR. Are getting hype.
He's about to hit of what the super kick?

Speaker 3 (42:49):
You know?

Speaker 1 (42:49):
He just does that side almost like a round not
even a roundhouse. I've never seen anything like it, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
It's like and the and and Mike g I'm sorry
to interrupt you to it.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
You got it, you got it.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
He been doing this kick forever when he even when
he was with the Rockers, Him and Martin Janetta used
to do it together, and then he found a way
to package that puppy up and turn it into a
billion dollar situation. Like it was perfect. You don't have
to have the most craziest move. You just gotta set

(43:28):
it up and package it right, gotta sell it.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Some of the best moves in wrestling history, the like
we mentioned the elbow. Yeah, Yeahan's leg drop, the leg drop, Hogan,
if that for real? Simple yet effective? Know why? Because
they built that bitch up when you came, it became

(43:54):
like a hurricane. It just totally wiped out the entire arena.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Dusty Rose, the bay on elbow.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Simple yet effective. It's old good night, good night.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
If I may have an honorable mention, Yes, mister Soko mankind.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
We gotta do top ten submissions next time.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
I'm ah, don't get me started, man, I'm a submission.
The angle lock was almost on this list.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
The I like what what's the crispin wall, the crippler,
cross face.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Chrispler cross face, clutch, the Walls of Jericho, the wall. Oh,
speaking of submissions, my number one, I.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Mean favorite, that's my favorite submission of all times.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Mind you. He even went back to sing scorpion, the
scorpion death lock dude, Like what kind of fucking name
is that?

Speaker 3 (45:00):
I was?

Speaker 1 (45:01):
I was dying.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
I was such a Mark. I loved Sting, I loved
Brett Hart. But then when the argument came around who
invented the sharpshooter, I was like, I'm with Brad, but
I don't. But I don't, I don't. I don't know
that that goes back and forth. But that's me getting
into like boys business. But I was such a mark

(45:25):
dude like Bret Hart, Like how you say I'm the
best there is? The Bester was and the Bester or
ever will be. He taught me how to be confident
in myself. Brett Hard represented that Bret Hart represented, like
standing up for what you believe in. And even when
him and Owen Hart were going through their feud, he

(45:45):
was a real big brother, big in other words, like
I'm not going to fight you on and he had
to get to the point where he had no other
choice but to fight his brother. Like that storyline was
just man. Heart was a true his his character was
a true legend. And when he went here with the

(46:06):
Heart Foundation, I was I was like, f America dog.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
I'm behind Brett.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Like I was. I was so for a dog. If
the hit man would have said, burned his motherfucker, iut
have burned.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
I would have gave him a match.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Yeah, but yeah, that's one of my favorite moves too. Bro.
I'm sorry this is you was supposed to go first,
and I get sorry.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
I love this because I knew this was my one.
And You've been talking about Brett this entire time, and
I'm like, I love it. I love it because it's
like I feel it like Brett between the pink shades, Bro,
that you couldn't see his eyes and that's a jacket.
I went with that leather jacket so so damn bad.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
This is why I got that little compliment you like
Brett Hart. It was mister I wanted to be Look,
I got long hair because of Bread and Sean literally
like like like these guys were everything, dog. They were
like Brett Hart really like taught me how to like
be a leader, dog like real talk, like these were

(47:12):
Wrestling wasn't just something that you watched on TV. These
were these were guides to life. You know this is Hey,
I'm not gonna die because I want to see Sean
Michaels versus Breadth to hit Man heart like you know
what I mean, in an iron Man match, Like iron
Man match, bro Man, That's that's wild. Brett Hart suplexing

(47:33):
on off the top of the cage dog like. I
used to walk around imitating Brett Hard. He always on
the ground, mouth be wide open, it.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Is all outside bro yeah like and it was just like.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Like him and Bob becklan Hard hell no like. I
I mean, we can go down the line of like.
And Brett Hart was in WW when the talent pool
was really really low, you know what I mean. When
he was running this, I mean he was literally Hakushi
like he he him and he made haw Kushi not

(48:14):
saying haw Kushi was trash and nothing like that.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
He made him fire though he like, It's not.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
No main event, but the Hitman turned that match into
the psychology. Him and Mister Perfect were some of the
greatest matches I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
That feud was amazing.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
When him and the Anvil had the Heart Foundation going
up against Demolition, I mean, I meant, and Brett actually
did a cameo for Comptonmania a couple of years ago.
I can't wait to just meet Bret Hart and just
like talk shit to Brett Hart Man. Brett Hard is
Bret Hart. I feel like I already know Brett Hard.

(48:52):
Like as soon as I see Brett Hart, Bret Hart
gonna walk in and be like, well, you know, I
was one of the top five greatest wrestlers of all times.
I'm like, yeah, Brem I'm with you one hundred and
ten percent.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
I fuck with the hit man, yeah, the hip man.
You know, what it was about Brett Hard for me
is that he seemed genuine. Yeah, he wasn't. It wasn't
a gimmick. No, this man put on his socks, his boots,
his coat and went out there as a man and
told you what was going to happen.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
You know what I'm saying it.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
It's like that. It's like, you know, it made wrestling
real when you saw Brett because it's like, this dude
is doing it when he was never bullshit.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
He said about Triple H. I knew it was going
to be a four out of ten man, I'm like
hit man. Man, listen, I'm in the wrestling industry, so
I know how wrestlers talk. So just just hearing him
say that and to be in the industry now it's hilarious.
It's it's freaking hilarious. I mean, I cant Brett. We

(49:53):
gotta we gotta chill, bro, Like you know, we family, right,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Oh, he reminds me of it. He reminds me of
Harrison Ford. Like I don't give a ship. I'm gonna
tell you what. It's what it's like. Yeah, yeah, they
messed me over. That was rough. Yeah, I'm one of
the I'm one of the top five wrestlers of all time.
I'm the excellence of execution. You know what I'm saying.
No one's no one's gonna be you know, he's just
he was cocky but real. It's like it just felt

(50:18):
like this this guy's it was beyond life without having
to be beyond life. He was like the Bruce Springsteen
of wrestling like this, you know what I'm saying, Like
he was the boss, bro, and he was just like
and like you said, between the hard foundation him kind
of getting owing in effect him with a British bulldog
back in the day. Bro. You know what I'm saying, Like,

(50:39):
I look.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
Yeah, I loved owing too, man. That's that. That's oh man,
I actually want to meet Owen's wife too. They got
the own Hart Foundation. That's something definitely I would love
to partner with. But but but but also Brett Hart.
One of my favorite moments was, uh, what was it?

(51:01):
Brett Hard is in the ring and he's like, I'm.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
So sick and tired of me being screwed out here.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Everyone knows that I should beat you. I'm the best
of ends. Da da da da, And Psycho.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
Says, hey, hit Man, I don't know shit, and I'm
just like, yo, is this off the cup?

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Oh? This ship was hilarious dog.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Pipe bomb before pipe on? Right?

Speaker 3 (51:30):
Yeah? Man, that goddamn Jim Ross. He going off on everybody. Man.
I was just like, oh man, hit man, what what
do he say? Uh? He was like, we're right here
in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
They should put a toilet right here because this is
where all.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
The piece is at.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Like, what what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (51:54):
It's hilarious?

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Like what yeh? I think you know? You have sold me?
He'll he'll heart is probably best heart. You know what
I'm saying. He's just talking ship.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
It's it's a small thing of mine over matter. I
don't mind, and you don't matter, Like what what.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
You aught about? Bro oh my favorite, my favorite sharp
shooter number one dude with a bullet. I cannot deny.
I cannot front. This is my absolute favorite move, like
you said, and that's the move you can do on
like you can actually do it on your friends as
a kid and not kill them. You know what I mean?

(52:41):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
And you know what else I noticed I got. I
gotta give you another shout out, Mike g Like with
the last two slides, it's hit Man and Shawn Michaels.
I did that on purpose and Seawan Michaels. It's just
that's an error of wrestling. Oh you wish you could
have been alive for that, was like, and the cold

(53:03):
part about it is it should have happened one hundred
more times.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
It's a shame it was.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
It was.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Talk about just like I said, like I was never
more invested in wrestling than this era where my favorite
wrestler is fighting is my favorite wrestler and something that
we've never seen before that Iron Man match, and you
just didn't know what to expect and it gave you everything.
Both wrestlers were exhausted by the end of it, sweating, bleeding,

(53:35):
and it really just came down to, all right, let's
who's gonna take it tonight. Sean Michaels took it. Couldn't
be mad, couldn't be sad. It's just it's just wrestling
history was made that night.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Let me ask you this question. Montreal, when they did
it again, I was going for Brett, no doubt about it.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
I was fucking pissed. I wanted to get his lick back.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Oh freaking pissed at Montreal. Screwjob. Oh it burned me
for a long time. But that's what made me jump
over to Austin too. So it's like, ww he found
the perfect storm because even though that that was an
unfortunate situation that led to a lot of unfortunate events

(54:24):
that happened after that Owen died, he goes over to
w c W. Then he gets kicked in the head
from Goldberger and he just not forget about that ship boy,
And how could you, I mean, you know, to be
fair and yeah, man, like that that was an era, dude,

(54:45):
that if they could have done that so many and
then you start thinking like what if what if Kurt
Angle was in what if we could have got a
Kurt angle, Brett Hart, I.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Would have been apic, dude. The Montreal screwjob was really
the changing of the guard, wasn't it. It's like, like
you said, we start getting in to this new era,
the Austin era kind of like the precursor to the
Attitude era. Brett jumps shed piece over wwe WWF at

(55:15):
the time, goes to w CW and tries to make
a name for himself, which he does. It's Prett Hart,
you know what I'm saying, But it's.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
They didn't know how they're using though, not at all.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
I'm just like they didn't want to.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
It was a lot over there because they dealing with Hogan,
they dealing with Mancha Man, They dealing with all them
stars and all that money. Because look, let me look
for y'all out there with like do y'all want to
do wrestling companies lost? Anybody can do anything that they
put their mind to. They put in a dedication of
horror or Zaza all that whatever, screw that. Look, the

(55:50):
book gonna come down to this. When you have different
and a whole bunch of personalities in your locker room,
how you manage that? Sucker?

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Good luck?

Speaker 3 (55:58):
With that.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
You know, it's fun. It reminds me that you're saying
it reminds me of the Lakers era where they had Kobe,
they had Shaq Dad, Karl Malone, they had you know
what I'm saying. It's like, you can't with that many
alphas in one room. It's really a chess match on
how to get them to all play. Well, Hey, you're
you're not winning tonight. You're winning tonight. You're taking a bump.

(56:19):
You gotta sell. I never sell, You're selling tonight and
you have to. You have to manage those expectations and
those personalities because they're all larger than life. How do
you tell Undertaker he's going to lose the brock Lessner
at WrestleMania? How do you do that?

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Yeah, and it's it's a real community. If something happens
on a low scale that has nothing to do with
things that you think about, it affects the entire locker
room and brother, it's a problem. Like you have to
managed personalities. You gotta go through damage control, Like you're
dealing with real people with real talent, with real issues

(56:58):
with real like but they also have their experience because
I got my issues too, I'm bringing trust me, I
got my bullshit, I'm bringing to the table to you
know what i mean. Everybody got the ship, you know.
But and and that's what makes it magical when you
able to create these moments. Think about it. These guys
were at the part of not really liking each other

(57:19):
and making history. It takes a It takes a everybody
can't do that, bro, you know how many people. And
this isn't like boxing or UFC. This is professional wrestling,
which means you have to protect your person you're in

(57:40):
the ring with. Yeah, Like like you don't just throw
that man on his neck like that, Like he got
a family, you know. Like, so it's a lot of
stuff that's being at work when you're doing this this
this business and this craft. And for for them to
be able to to do we can go through a
Matt Hardy too, Like people that's having personal problems and

(58:05):
being able to steal protect each other in the ring.
And that was somebody messing with somebody else. Girl, and
you don't touch your man money and this woman hey, and.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
It's funny you mentioned that. It's just like how do
you manage that, manage those people, and you know, manage
what they're going through, you know what I mean, in
their own personal life, you know. And it's it's like
running a It's like running a football team, you know,
it's like running a basketball team. You're gonna everyone has
to We're all everyone. We're all here to win, you
know what I mean, And we'll all have to protect,

(58:39):
like you said, protect each other because in that ring,
we've seen it happen a dozen times with so many
nightmare scenarios where people's careers and like that one batched move,
you know what I mean, so one over with your
whole career. Like I think about people like Taz, there's
one batch move. You know, we mentioned owen Hart, you

(59:00):
know what I mean. It's just like you have to
be it's like a brother. It's like a brotherhood in there,
you know what I mean. It's like you have to
watch each other's backs and take each other's you know,
health into consideration and practice. I think that's one thing
I liked about seeing like the the the development League
that Hunter was doing with WWE, and kind of seeing NXT,

(59:22):
you know what I mean, and seeing like these people
train and like really sharpen their profession, not just in
the ring. But verbally and you know, build their images,
and it's fascinating to see that side of the business
that we never saw as kids, you know what I mean.
And like them lifting the veil almost did almost improved

(59:45):
the product, you know what I'm saying. I say it
improved the product because you can really see it at
its value and and and really appreciate the superstars more,
the people who are going out there taking the time
to learn these to learn the situations, to learn they're moved,
and just to learn each other because like with you know,
it's like a dance partner. If you if you never

(01:00:06):
danced before, you're gonna be awkward, you know what I mean.
So it's like learning each other. It's just really fascinating
to really dive into you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Because me personally, I feel like wrestlers should be some
of the greatest performers ever because they put their bodies
on the line. And you think about Chris bin Wall,
even him doing the fly ahead, but some people feel
like those are some of the things that cause concussions,
that like they put it all on the line, you know,

(01:00:38):
to entertain, to give people moments, to give people heroes,
to give people villains, to show people that if you
constantly do the right thing, eventually you would be rewarded
even though you got heals. Who's healing like that? The
artist storytelling it was the reason I'm gonna say this

(01:00:59):
because I feel like when we we gotta, we gotta
bring nuance to things like not condoning anything of what
Vince McMahon did.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
At all.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
But I will say this bye, by that man being
super and to be honest what God has given him,
you know, to present to the world, by him just
doing that little bit of good or a lot of it,
however way you want to look at it. It definitely

(01:01:31):
kept me alive from not killing myself, and it gave
me different heroes to look to Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior,
Stone Cold. I had to be defying at times to
get to where I needed to get to seeing punk.
When I was doing comedy, I had to create a
certain kind of culture personality to get over the the

(01:01:54):
the the self doubt that you have in your mind.
The I learned a lot from wrestling and like that.
That that alone, That's why they say the gift comes
with out repentance, which means people do amazing things, and
they can also do bad things, but those things that

(01:02:15):
you do do it definitely affects people. There would be
no comp de mainia if there was no w W
or no Vince McMahon or whatever, because that's real.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Talk, amazing, amazing. Well said, I can't, I'm not. You
hit the nail right on the head, you know what
I mean. I think that's the perfect closing to just
our our love letter to wrestling, our love letter. It's
the perfect finisher.
