changed so much. Three years ago. We went to find
our house, like Inferno's house that we like lived in

that sounds super embarrassing, but like we legit couldn't find
it because like the whole landscape had just changed so much, you.

Yeah, five people showed up.
Speaker 1 (06:57):

Speaker 5 (07:00):
I like to like, dang, all right, we should probably

screwed you, pal?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah? I mean who is that referee? Like he just

and so it's just you bring me into job me out,
the ref blows me out, the water Bed's.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Playoff season, boys softball season?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Bro. What I was trying to get at and I
don't even know if the answer to this, what did
you play with wrestling figures as a kid?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I did? Yeah, the original ones.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
My dad had the remember like Hillbilly Jim, that series
where the paint would scrape off.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Hall of Fame for two hours and I hate him
to this day. Yeah, so that was probably yeah, Ship.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You're talking about rubber l Jan figures. Yeah, so probably
late eighties, right, Yeah, that makes sense. So late eighties.
I was probably six ish.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't know if they came out that year, but
so those are the figures we had. Were the ones
that didn't really move. They were like rubber.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah. So Hibbilly Jim Hogan. My dad always had.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
A Hillbilly Jim toy in the center of his truck
for some reason, No, for real, it was like a
good luck thing for him, and for some reason, I
always remember having that Hillbilly Jim doll. But it must
have been late eighties because I was five or six
and I was born in eighty three.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So you guys remember the Wheelhouse.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, But besides that, the only I had Marvel figures,
but never you wrestling.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Strike me as like an action figure.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I only had one one figure outside Yeah, yeah, that
kind of kid was building treehouses.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I had a big Ninja Turtle guy.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
All the figures in Ninja Turtles die Hard Ninja Turtle fan.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
But the only any wrestling figure that I've had over
the years is the Doc Gallos Straight Edge Society figure.
Why that's the only one I've had. I don't even
know it's been.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I had it at the top of my Christmas tree
for years. Bro. Yeah, and there's some other stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
We used it for photo shoots and stuff, but I
can't talk about it. The only doll and I was
like at my dad's I was cleaning out storage like
a few months ago, and there's like that doll has
followed me in the last like six moves in my
life a doc you know.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The straight Edge one.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I know, but yeah, the straight Edge Society probably twenty
eleven is twelve when he was with the Punk and Serena.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah. I don't know why I have that.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I was probably at Target and probably like buying beer
or something. I'm like, yeah, I need and yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's the only figure that I've had. And then obviously,
you know, can they hear me sitting this far back again,
you get to come closer, like Joe Rogan, I want
to close it up.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, but you know, when you get a new figure
in WW they would send you a box of like
fifteen or twenty and I would give them to my
like the neighborhood kids and ship and I wish I
had I have some of the fashion police ones, yeah,
the last one, the cop one. Yeah, But dude, I
(10:18):
wish I hung on to the ones with the colorful tights.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I guess they sell for like two or three hundred bucks.
The elites.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
They sent me like a box of like fifteen of
them back in the day. My little carniass you have one?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, Oh so he's got one right here.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
So those are worth some money, right, I mean, that's.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
A whole nother story here.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
But legendary visit from the fandangoic creator pro.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I had him sign this.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
For me, but it was in like blos reading my eyes.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Sharp and it was terrible. You have to sign and
redo it professionally.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And that jaw line man beautiful.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Figure also and like this is the jaw line.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
This is very sure that we had a video here,
mister p w I five on one, probably not even five.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
What's really blind bloking?
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Like what we know about toy making To get that
much like color into one figure, it is very out
of the deco.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
It's very difficult to do, so, like.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Is that why it's such a collectible something?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
And then like well a lot of things help in here,
like that takers like all black. So like the offset
that he doesn't have that much to you, Like that's
how they even out the lineup kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Yeah, pretty incredible job by Mattel.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
But anyway, it was signing like this terrible blue sharpe
that since faded, and they saying, you know, you're one
of my best friends in the business, and this hangs
in my gym. So I used hand sanitizer took it off.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I took it off.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Yeah, but that's fine. You can redo it, write something funny,
don't wake the snake.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Or whatever you want like that, don't.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Wake the snake?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Oh my god, you know what that means?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Can I write fanday? Yeah? I don't want to. I
don't want your call.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
But if you put a Kurt Hawkins in front of me,
I'm writing I signed hockey. Put Brian myerste in my right,
give me like two Brian. That could be that I
could flip this on the on the black market. That's
gonna be worth a while.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah. I like this Nike. There we go.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Now it's professionally by Oh yeah, oh right, thank you.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
We're back in business. Folks.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So you don't like I know you don't collect figures currently.
Do you need to have one on the beach at yours?
Especially this? This is this is your rookie, right, yeah,
first time in the line, right.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I don't. So what are you like, thirteen years in
the business when this comes out. Yeah, it wasn't like
a big bucket list thing.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I never watched any of my matches. I don't. I'm
so critical of everything I do that I don't know.
I just.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I wish.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Now you know, I've got a little Carnie deal going
on in Pakistan where I get custom belts made.
Speaker 1 (12:57):

So I had like a the the guy that made
him for me is he's in the business. He made
a custom Brody Lee one for me. I've got a
few of them made up. He just said he just
gave them.
Speaker 6 (13:32):

Speaker 4 (13:33):
So my buddy like Joe Gomez in Tampa. The guys
that own businesses, I just get him made for them
and put their like business logo on them.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And it's the coolest gift you can give someone.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
So if your dad owns a sandwich shop, you get
like Myers Sandwiches and you but you can get any style.
So I got like the Florida Championship Wrestling design, you
know what I'm saying, the shape of the belt with
the plates with their logos on it, their business name,
and then they put it.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
In their office exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:03):

Daniel Brewer, who's your favorite guy to travel with and
what's your go to music choice?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Favorite guy to travel with.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Probably Joe Henning, just because we're just on a shoot.
Because when you travel with someone, sorry, I'm spinning rice
cakes all over the place, when you travel with someone,
you don't want them to you want them to just
be laid back and just actually, you know what, Heath,
I'm sorry, sorry, Joe all day, Heath don't get more
laid back.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go into super.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Detail with that, stopping it like an Applebee's is like
fine dining though.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So he's based in but he just you know, when
he's home during the week, he's a dad, and then
he flies on on Friday or Saturday for the live
and he's genuinely excited to be on the rail, you know,
and you'll meet him in the airport and he's like,
my where are we going, were going to the gym
or were going to all of them going?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Like, he's just excited to be out. You know, Brosky,
you can inconvenience very easily. You can't inconvenience heat Like.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Heath, I got to go to my uncle Jim's house
in Columbia. It's going to be a three hour excursion.
Oh my sounds all right cool?
Speaker 6 (18:23):
This was dropping my head.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I think it's like when Mojo first gets on the
road and you try to get a free car for Mojo,
so you're like, hey, you all to ride together.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Sorry, I don't like ride with people. You remember that?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Wait? What I think you wanted to ride to me
and Mojo?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
And I said to you, like, sorry, I don't like riding.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh you big league me? No, I don't.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
It's like I hate riding with people.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, I hate.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
So I always drove with someone because I was cheap,
But towards the last year or two, it was worth
the money for me just just to be on my
mount because when I was partying, you're you're hanging out
with everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
You're getting up at fucking noon.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
But when I stop partying, I was getting up at
like seven to go work out, you know, and it's
nice to have that peace of mind of just kind
of like solid, just being quiet and being on your
own schedule career.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I think I did two loops by myself, maybe three
absolute and I enjoyed it, but I.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Didn't want to do it all the time.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I started to do it towards the end just to
just to have my own schedule.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I don't like remove people. I don't want to compromise
with anybody. Yeah, because when we were on the road
more than we're home, it's like our life.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Yeah, you know, so I want to live how I
want to live.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I think when you first get called up and you're
not making that money yet you're.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Going like four to a room.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Horn couldn't be enough.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You got horns, couldn't be enough, guys. You just put
everyone everywhere.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Man, Because back then, when you guys were like tag champs,
you know, six or oh seven, the downsides were a lot.
The pay structure was a lot different than it is now.
So you guys are tag team champions probably making like
one hundred grand.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
A year, like what we did on every show, every
live event, every tour.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
It's like probably a year what we got for that
one year.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
To what people get today is like probably a fifth
or a sixth of what a mid card of a
mid card person.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Now you know our downside when we were tagging just
seventy five.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, but you probably crushed two.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Didn't get the seventy five bump that.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Was years later, but you probably made way more than
that though.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Our original WB contros fifty two and that's minus all
your hotels and your cars.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I'm gonna do your favor, crush. Don't tell anybody.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yeah, Bro, that was a two even I'm gonna give
you one hundred thousand.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Yeah said that twenty eleven. I was your YouTube show
kids really great. I don't At the same time, I
was training with training with the Rock and he's like,
we're gonna find something for you doing great, Dwayne Love.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I'm like, I know you're getting be one hundred and
so good. And I'm sitting in the locker room. I've
never forgot this thing.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I'm like, Dann, that was a great talk and this
this is amazing. And then Heath walks and goes.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Hi, everybody trying to get by your wives.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
And then like bro, and then like everyone's looking at
you like.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Wait YouTube meet, Yeah, like of connect from the dots,
like something's up.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
So that's you know what totally off subject is when
Bruno used to call everybody handsome, So I thought he
only called me handsome for like a year, and then
he called like fucking.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Sandau or Cody Rhodes handsome.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I'm like, wait a minute, he calls everybody handsome and
it really fucking hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
But yeah, so that's that's my story with that.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Frozen I would loved from Chris. Evan Hayner would love
to hear about his role in the early seasons of
Total Divas. Watching the show now and it's like he's
the exposition guy.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Exposition.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I don't know what that means I gave me.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
I don't even remember being an adult.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah, so like Summer you went on a date with
Summer Ray the first season, I was on there with.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
My wife watched it.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
The first season, I was on there with Evan Marie
as a love interest. The second season, Summer was on it.
So I was always like that go to like piece
of meat guy. Russell was a producer.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
He liked me. He was a cool guy.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
But we always would film at like gom as Is
condo on the beach in Florida, so very easy.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeah, it was, it was, It was.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
We had the location lined up already, and I think
I was always dating one of the girls like on TV,
like they were my dancer, you know, so I kind
of like was the sidekick of whoever I was the.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Only one sitting at the stable has never been managed
by Rosa Mendez.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Yes, yes, yeah, yes, Ryan y Bosh is the cool one.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
What was it like the night after Mania?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
I was there and we were singing your theme on
the bus all the way back to Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
That's the video that went viral, correct right where?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah it was cool. It was cool, man, But I
was yeah, I mean I was supposed to.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I was supposed to be the big heel there and
obviously it kind of yeah, but you know, it's like
the Margarinian ship. You when when something gets really as
quick as it gets really cool, is usually as quick
as it kind of goes away.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
But I'm like so proud of I got, you know,
Max Caster and they claimed and all the scissoring stuff.
But literally watching this week on this is amazing, But man,
how this could be so fleeting?
Speaker 4 (23:03):
You see as fast as it gets cool, it's a
it's a lightning storm. So but that's the thing, guys
like Chris Jericho, Well, you can keep coming up with
something that gets catchy. So it's your whole body of work.
Do you want to like, do you want to just
be remembered for that one song? Or can you are
you good enough to come up with a new stick. Luckily,
(23:25):
Breeze and I ended up tagging we came up with
another little bit of a stick. So those are the guys,
the Christians, the edges that you guys that have enough,
they put enough thought into the business.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Where what's my next stick? Because if you know, a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Of people can have that one night after mania, but
usually you know, you can't just lie on those that
one thing.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
You know, you can never take that away from you, Like, yeah,
that phenomenon that you did have it that one Yeah
you know.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
But you know what if Seth Rowins or someone played
that character, I feel like, yeah, they would have had
the same reaction.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
I'll never forget showed up. There was like structure.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
For you that would lower Yeah, I remember Randy org
and like whoa Johnny Kurt's like top guy.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Randy Org looks at me right in the eyes. He goes,
fucking Mark.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
I'm like, what so, I didn't even Vince never told
me any of that shit. I just showed up for rehearsal,
you know what, Actually true story, I was checking into
the hotel, the TV hotel, because at the time when
I first started becoming Fandango, I was still you remember
how you're still on like NXT roster, you're not quite
full main So if you're not quite full main roster talent,
(24:34):
you still get your hotels and cars paid.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
For you for a little bit of your duration of
the country or whatever.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
So at that time, I was still getting the TV
hotel deal, so I would check in super late. You know,
you drive three hours to Green Bay wherever, and you're
checking in at three in the morning. Vince's in the elevator,
of course, going to work out in a snowstorm, and
I'm checking in and he's like, big day tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I'm like, I guess I had no idea what he's
talking about.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Then I show up at TV and there's all this
fucking like the you know, like the curtain gimmick that
would come down, and then the fucking the sparkle gimmick,
but it cost him like ten grand a week to
ship that with trucking. And then I'm like, I didn't
even know any of this shit was for me, And
I walk out of the bowl and Randy's like, fucking Mark, it's.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Vignettes first, and then that.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
So originally we did vignettes at the Highland Ballroom in
New York.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
He rented out the Highland Ballroom. Vince din directed.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
There was a guy, that bald guy, remember the bald
guy that got fired. He was kind of head of
creative you remember for a while, Pankowski.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
So he kind of was in charge.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I guess, yeah, so actually this this might have been
let's let's email. So this is the true story, is
this might have been one of the catalysts of why
he got fired, because I think he got fired around
this time. So he was kind of supposed to spearhead
a lot of the production on those those shoots original
and Vince didn't like the way I said fandango. I
(26:04):
just looked into the camera and said fandango. But in
his mind he wanted me to say fundamgo, which is
weird because he life imitates art. So that's how I
kind of introduced the character I would come out and
then Lilli and Garcia whoever wasn't pronouncing my name correctly.
So he took a real life situation and made it
into a gimmick.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
So he didn't like the way those were shot. He
canned him.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
One day, I'm working out at the Georgia Tech gym
right before TV in Atlanta, and I like put my
phone down. I was training with like some of the boys,
and like fifteen misscalls text messages from Mark Carano like oh.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Fuck, it's a good feeling.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
So he's like, where the fuck are you? Where the
fuck are you? Where the fuck are you? Pankowsk is
that his name? Pankowski never told me that that day,
prior to TV, there was a whole like the tron
set up up in the rafters of the arena, up
in the you know, like the skybox or wherever Vince
was producing my new vignettes, but no one told me.
(27:06):
So I show up like all dirt, like chalk and
like dirty fingernails and shit, and I didn't have time.
So if you watched those fucking vignettes, I remember Vince
just had hip surgery and he produced them all. He's like,
I'm like, listen, sir, I'm sorry, man, I know clueka
Pankowski was supposed to tell me to be there.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
He's like, it's not on you. I'm like, all right, man.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
So we filmed them, and then Pankowski was gone after that.
Yeah wow, okay, because he didn't like the ones that
he paid like one one hundred thousand dollars ones.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Oh god. And then he hired Usher's stylist.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
To send me out in New York and he gave
me like ten thousand or twenty thousand dollars to go
buy all these suits and stuff. I spent five thousand
on a Forsachi jacket that I ended up leaving over
in Europe party and yeah, yeah, but anyways, so I
filmed the vignettes and then I remember Johnny as we're
flying after one of the vignettes airs, He's like, could
(28:01):
in your vignette you could see your fingernails are dirty?
And then that was like a big deal. Then they
sent me to go get manicures and shit, I'm like, listen,
you fucking guys never told me we're filming this.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Tell me to get the fuck over to the arena.
I'm late.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I'm like, what the fuck I didn't have time to
shower anything, and you want to film these you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
So like I was, I was deadlifting like five minutes.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I was deadlifting five minutes before we filmed those fucking vignettes.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Then Johnny, I didn't say anything back, but it's like,
you know, your fucking fingernails are all dirty. You're supposed
to be a ballroom dancer. And I wanted to be like, well, no,
one don't have dirty finger lis you.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
But if you watch the vignettes, I'm like and like
I have you know, I'm like, ohh and back you know,
even back then, like ten years ago, it's like the
talent you almost felt like you couldn't say anything back.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
The talent had no leverage. You know, you're kind of
the eggshell. I'm like, you're about to push me on
to wrestle Mania match and.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
You're treating me like a fucking young boy, you know,
and that's just you know, it's like that's the ship
that just.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I don't you know, hopefully it's changed a lot now,
but yeah, just that that like test Bullyeve bullshit.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I'm like, you're literally getting ready to push me for
a main a fucking WrestleMania fucking match, and you're busting
my balls because you know, and I'm.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Just like, that's a great story. I've never heard that.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, it's a true story.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Man, was like, well, is your fucking you know, you're
you're you're a you're a fucking pretty boy ball bancer
and your fucking fingers are all dirty. And then Kroto's like,
you know, go to Tampa or wherever you're at, go
get pedicures. I'm like, dude, I'm not getting fucking petticures.
I'll take a shower. I go listen, next.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Time we do fucking mignettes, give me like a half
an hour heads up and I'll take a shower.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Isn't that funny?
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Though?
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Yeah? The fallow up to that makes for sense will
be Clinton Johnson, how is your experience in ring with.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Chris Jericho wrestle Mania?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
It was good?
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Mania absolutely sucks.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
I hate that video like from a punkin Taker on
that show, but being that we are such good friends,
I was so proud of you.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, punkin Taker.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Only like positive takeaway against so.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Vince's whole vision of that which I see was he
didn't my whole thing in FCW, and you guys were,
you were more there Hawkins than writer. But Johnny, you're
a good wrestler, good look, no character, no personality. So
the fandango thing, he goes, I know you're a good wrestler.
I've got a locker room full of good wrestlers. I
(30:34):
don't want you to be a wrestler. I don't want
to fucking Chris Jericho great match, which I know you
guys can have. I want this to be the biggest
upset in WrestleMania history. I want everyone channing fucking bullshit
because you're a ballroom dancer.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I don't want you to wrestle, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
So in in Vince's in Vince's eyes, I think he
wanted to be a five or six minute match. Chris
beats the ship out of me all around the ring.
He finally gets his hands on me, slips on a
banana peel.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I roll him up. But Chris, Chris wanted to prove
a point, which I understand.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I think he was supposed to work Rye back going
into that, and they kind of they changed it up
on him last minute and go, Hey, listen, you're wrestling
an evil fucking ballroom dancer. So I'm in the crossfire.
So I'm the guy playing this character. You know, out
of all the characters of the lists of characters, I
wouldn't have picked ballroom dancer.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I'd rather be in the fucking shield. You know. But
what are you gonna say? Now? So now I'm I mean, honestly,
I'm playing.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
So I'm in I'm in the middle of a political
a guy that I've looked up to my whole fucking life,
who obviously isn't too stoked about doing this, but realizes
he's gonna do it, so he's gonna make the best.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
So he goes, fuck that, Let's have a good match.
We went out and had a good match. Vince didn't
like it as much. He wanted the bullshit. Vince's Vince's
he's producing a marquee card. You know, he's he's a promoter,
and in our eyes, we wanted to more Chris. I understand,
He's like, this is a fucking shitty situation. Let's go
out and steal the show. But in Vince's eyes, Vince
(32:06):
wanted the character to move on. Obviously, Chris was going
to move on to something else. Yeah, so I could
see both both points of view, you know, but I
think it would have been better if he just beat
the shit out of me and I rolled him up
and then.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, but I think I think there was.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Like a lessons more situation. I think I think there
was some hindsight.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
I think there was a lot more that went into
it backstage between you know, Chris and Vince.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
And like that you're just caught in them.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, I mean, what the fuck? Man?
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Like, I mean, you know, actually, figure wise, you have
that basic that comes out.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
I've got a weird sorry to cut you off, a
couple of weird basic ones where I'm in blue right.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Well, I'm thinking of the one that's like where you
have like the shirt and then like the different haircut
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
That's the Rosa Mendes days.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
So I was I'm fired at this point. So, like
what happened there, they tried to reach start the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
You got a figure out of it, but not much
of a TV run.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
So when you debut at Wrestle Media, long story short,
we got to go film promos and wrestle today.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
So I'm not gonna go too long. But I was
supposed to win the icy title.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Yeah yeah, I got can cuss out for that rider
Taker knocked me out.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Completely detailed my career.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I was injury prone after that. Mister rider Taker over
here really fucked me. But now you guys water under
the bridge, colum. Anyways, so I think that they had
a little stick mommy. I was maybe a little injury
prone or something, or maybe I didn't tell them I
had a concussion, so they were a little sour on
that put me on the shelf.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
The character got stale.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Vince pulls me in the office says, We're gonna fucking
repackage you.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I'm like, all right, cool, go to.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Go to fillmore ballroom dancing class, go to flamenco class.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
So like, oh great.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
So every time I got repackaged, it was still a dancer,
but just a different type of dancing. When I was
the dick dancer, I had to go to like private
yeah yeah yeah for a while. And so they put
me with Rosa and it was more of a flamenco Latino.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Vince thought I was Spanish, I think, or something I don't.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yeah, so the black body suit was the creative department's
idea and it didn't get over.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
We didn't even like it wasn't even give me a chance.
I feel I didn't left.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, so I debuted and like I was fired.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
But I wrestled justin Gabriel and like a pre show
at the Survivor series, and then worked.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like a beat up.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I was like a setup guy for Roman, so like
you know, like a heel that would I wrestled Roman
a couple of times and maybe like russif you know,
like a mid card heel, and then it just didn't
go anywhere. Then it was like love angle bullshit. And
then I think they put me with another dancer or something.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I don't remember. I got a basic out of it.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Yeah, it's one of your more unique figures, I feel
like because it's so different.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yeah, it's kind of an obscure one.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Right.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Yeah, that was a really short little run there, you
know what it was too. I think I went in
and pitched a different idea and I think it kind
of pissed Vince off that you know, he's repackaging me and.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Just you know, I don't know, but.
Speaker 6 (35:30):
The had the team with Breeze coming out.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
They were doing cuts in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
I think Reason and I were both kind of get
cut and Vince Goes put him together, kind of like
road Dog and Billy gunn.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Do.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
They initially wanted to do. The writers called me, I
remember Rate around that time. It was like spring of
twenty sixteen. I think they cut like sand down a
bunch of guys around that time.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Swag. Yeah, so around that time, and I think we
were supposed to get released.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Hey, QUI down, we're doing a podcast, so they call
us up.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
They go fabulous ones promos you and Breeze. That's where
we want to Nick.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Remember nick Uh, I'm like, cool, this is right up
my alley. But we never ended up doing like a
fabulous one, saying it was more of I guess like
mism uh eminem so like Joey Mercury and who was
it Night? It was more of like a pretty boy,
I guess thing you know, seemed kind of hot at
(36:30):
you know, out the gate. Then it didn't really go anywhere.
Road Dog produced a lot of that stuff, and then
I got injured. I hurt my knee and then we
just started filming doc. I'm like, bro, if we're gonna
get released at least, let's just do And this was
mostly Breeze because he was proactivective, very proactive. Currently no,
but he was super proactive, and he's like, dude, if
we're gonna get fired, let's just do as many promos
(36:52):
so that way, you know, like you know, there are
is like they have nothing for you. They're like, well,
you gotta pitch something, but which is just busy where
for most of the time, you know, if you're a
top guy in WWE and you pitch something, there's a
good chance they might go with it, But if you're
fucking barely on TV, you know. But we switched to
be with Edge, like that's a good idea, but you
can't just be happen exactly like okay, and then we
(37:15):
had to write that. So Breeze and I just started
doing dot COM's with Dustin and the Fashion Police Ship,
which was all Breeze's idea, and it got some good
traction on like YouTube or Twitter or whatever it was playing,
and then eventually the writer a couple of the writers
got behind it and they're like, let's put a segment
on SmackDown, And that was the birth of the Fashion
(37:35):
and Files gimmick a lot of TV.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah. So it was a year and Vince did not
like or understand one.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
It might be around the time I was a producer,
and there was something that he said, something like I
don't personally get it you're a producer.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
No shit wow, probably some of your shit wow. He
literally hated.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
But he said something along the lines of like I
don't get it, but I know you guys do some
trusting you that, like.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Yeah, and it got a lot of like, it got
a lot of good traction on like their social media
and something.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
But I mean honestly, like Vince probably hasn't seen a
you know, a movie and since the seventies, and wonder
what you know what I'm saying though, like just so
little pop culture.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
To day, right, Like let me shadow him for one
day in real life.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
So if we're like doing little inside tongue in cheek
pop culture jokes, you know, like obviously he's not getting
oh she can understand, you know.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
So But yeah, so that was the birth of the.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Whole Fashion Files and then we had our little run there.
But when you're a comedy actor's only so far you
can go with that.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
And then.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Then I ended up having lay room surgery, and you
didn't really ask me my full career shoot interviews, so
I'm just gonna stop here.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
Well, I mean, Joe Hirsky, how was EC three is
a tag team partner back of the FCW days. Any
cool stories out of that time beyond winning the fc taking.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Of all the people I've ever had to work with,
EC three has been the most difficult.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
He's he's the most difficult. No, I'm just kidding, No,
he's cool.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Him and I had the same or we did the
same personality and that kind of dry humor. He's a
real funny guy, and so we shared kind of the
same the humor and it was just a case of
two guys that didn't I think Dusty didn't really have
anything for We were kind of in limbo of getting
(39:30):
called up.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It was around the NXT time where there.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
The top f CW guys were kind of on deck
to get called up to either NXT season one, two
or three or whatever.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
So Dusty just kind of threw us together and yeah,
he was he was great man. We did we did.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
I feel like the humor.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Yeah, he's a super funny guy and x T Yeah
that's it feels like. Yeah, but I think just the
business has beaten him down, getting released a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
It's hard. It's hard to be a comedy guy after
all that, you know, the business.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Yeah, yeah, so now yeah, so now he's controlling narratives.

like I spun around and I saw the smiles on
people's faces.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah, that's what's all about. You know, when you get
into this businessman, it's all about putting smiles on faces.
Trumperetta tweeted me, and you know, he said that the

Speaker 6 (02:59):
So yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But mister ryder Taker over here told me that I
need to put some sort of lightning bolt or maybe
maybe a star on the back or something, you know,
kind of like Rory Fox needed some ship on his gear. Yah,
what did they tell him that, Like you put something
or no, shark boys like to fancy up his gear.
To all you nineteen ninety eight ers out there that remember.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Talking about true life a lot, actually that's good. You know,
Roory Fox is a character who in our major universe.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Of course, I know that it wasn't DMS me and stuff.

looking for this text. It doesn't exist. You guys made
this conversation. All the pictures that we do of horrible indies.

Gonna town? Yeah, you know what I mean, we it
changed so much. Three years ago. We went to find
our house, like Inferno's house that we like lived in
We couldn't find it, really, and then that's so much
that sounds super embarrassing, but like we legit couldn't find
it because like the whole landscape had just changed so much, you.

like that house.
Speaker 1 (05:51):

Yeah, five people showed up.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Five five people showed up.
Speaker 5 (07:00):

screwed you, pal?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah? I mean who is that referee? Like he just

and so it's just you bring me into job me out,
the ref blows me out, the water Bed's.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Playoff season, boys softball season?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Bro. What I was trying to get at and I
don't even know if the answer to this, what did
you play with wrestling figures as a kid?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I did? Yeah, the original ones.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
My dad had the remember like Hillbilly Jim, that series
where the paint would scrape off.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Hall of Fame for two hours and I hate him
to this day. Yeah, so that was probably yeah, Ship.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You're talking about rubber l Jan figures. Yeah, so probably
late eighties, right, Yeah, that makes sense. So late eighties.
I was probably six ish.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't know if they came out that year, but
so those are the figures we had. Were the ones
that didn't really move. They were like rubber.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah. So Hibbilly Jim Hogan. My dad always had.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
A Hillbilly Jim toy in the center of his truck
for some reason, No, for real, it was like a
good luck thing for him, and for some reason, I
always remember having that Hillbilly Jim doll. But it must
have been late eighties because I was five or six
and I was born in eighty three.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So you guys remember the Wheelhouse.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, But besides that, the only I had Marvel figures,
but never you wrestling.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Strike me as like an action figure.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I only had one one figure outside Yeah, yeah, that
kind of kid was building treehouses.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I had a big Ninja Turtle guy.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
All the figures in Ninja Turtles die Hard Ninja Turtle fan.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
But the only any wrestling figure that I've had over
the years is the Doc Gallos Straight Edge Society figure.
Why that's the only one I've had. I don't even
know it's been.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I had it at the top of my Christmas tree
for years. Bro. Yeah, and there's some other stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
We used it for photo shoots and stuff, but I
can't talk about it. The only doll and I was
like at my dad's I was cleaning out storage like
a few months ago, and there's like that doll has
followed me in the last like six moves in my
life a doc you know.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The straight Edge one.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I know, but yeah, the straight Edge Society probably twenty
eleven is twelve when he was with the Punk and Serena.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah. I don't know why I have that.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I was probably at Target and probably like buying beer
or something. I'm like, yeah, I need and yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's the only figure that I've had. And then obviously,
you know, can they hear me sitting this far back again,
you get to come closer, like Joe Rogan, I want
to close it up.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, but you know, when you get a new figure
in WW they would send you a box of like
fifteen or twenty and I would give them to my
like the neighborhood kids and ship and I wish I
had I have some of the fashion police ones, yeah,
the last one, the cop one. Yeah, But dude, I
(10:18):
wish I hung on to the ones with the colorful tights.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I guess they sell for like two or three hundred bucks.
The elites.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
They sent me like a box of like fifteen of
them back in the day. My little carniass you have one?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, Oh so he's got one right here.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
So those are worth some money, right, I mean, that's.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
A whole nother story here.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
But legendary visit from the fandangoic creator pro.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I had him sign this.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
For me, but it was in like blos reading my eyes.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Sharp and it was terrible. You have to sign and
redo it professionally.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And that jaw line man beautiful.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Figure also and like this is the jaw line.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
This is very sure that we had a video here,
mister p w I five on one, probably not even five.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
What's really blind bloking?
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Like what we know about toy making To get that
much like color into one figure, it is very out
of the deco.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
It's very difficult to do, so, like.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Is that why it's such a collectible something?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
And then like well a lot of things help in here,
like that takers like all black. So like the offset
that he doesn't have that much to you, Like that's
how they even out the lineup kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Yeah, pretty incredible job by Mattel.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
But anyway, it was signing like this terrible blue sharpe
that since faded, and they saying, you know, you're one
of my best friends in the business, and this hangs
in my gym. So I used hand sanitizer took it off.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I took it off.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Yeah, but that's fine. You can redo it, write something funny,
don't wake the snake.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Or whatever you want like that, don't.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Wake the snake?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Oh my god, you know what that means?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Can I write fanday? Yeah? I don't want to. I
don't want your call.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
But if you put a Kurt Hawkins in front of me,
I'm writing I signed hockey. Put Brian myerste in my right,
give me like two Brian. That could be that I
could flip this on the on the black market. That's
gonna be worth a while.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah. I like this Nike. There we go.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Now it's professionally by Oh yeah, oh right, thank you.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
We're back in business. Folks.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So you don't like I know you don't collect figures currently.
Do you need to have one on the beach at yours?
Especially this? This is this is your rookie, right, yeah,
first time in the line, right.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I don't. So what are you like, thirteen years in
the business when this comes out. Yeah, it wasn't like
a big bucket list thing.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I never watched any of my matches. I don't. I'm
so critical of everything I do that I don't know.
I just.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I wish.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Now you know, I've got a little Carnie deal going
on in Pakistan where I get custom belts made.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So I got a hold to like they made my.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Well, actually, I mean someone had digital last night and
my meet and greet it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Was so I've got the the NXC Tag Team Championship.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
It looks I have the real one they gave me,
and then the the the replica one that was made
looks exactly the same.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Can't tell difference.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
So I had like a the the guy that made
him for me is he's in the business. He made
a custom Brody Lee one for me. I've got a
few of them made up. He just said he just
gave them.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Hang these up.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
So my buddy like Joe Gomez in Tampa. The guys
that own businesses, I just get him made for them
and put their like business logo on them.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And it's the coolest gift you can give someone.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
So if your dad owns a sandwich shop, you get
like Myers Sandwiches and you but you can get any style.
So I got like the Florida Championship Wrestling design, you
know what I'm saying, the shape of the belt with
the plates with their logos on it, their business name,
and then they put it.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
In their office exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:03):

old Dango figures and those titles. I'm starting to collect
more stuff because of my nephew. My nephew thinks it's
super cool. He's nine privilege, what we do, you know?

we talk about this? Yeah? I must have us. I
mean there's no other way to know that, right.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
So, yeah, we'd have promo class back in Deep South Wrestling,
and I was a little young boy bitch and I
got nervous and messed up a promo and said, I'm
gonna take my limo. I don't know what to say
to my limo and rider taker over here, sir.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Has brought it up every time you've seen you consistently.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I mean, you're so luxurious, so you know, so wealthy

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah, a limo to me being a famous schlumbler. Now
I can actually take my limo to my girlfriend's car.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Eating the rice cakes is great for Is that good?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
What did you expect when you brought me on it? Honestly,
you knew this ship was gonna go off the rails.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Daniel Brewer, who's your favorite guy to travel with and
what's your go to music choice?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Favorite guy to travel with.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Probably Joe Henning, just because we're just on a shoot.
Because when you travel with someone, sorry, I'm spinning rice
cakes all over the place, when you travel with someone,
you don't want them to you want them to just
be laid back and just actually, you know what, Heath,
I'm sorry, sorry, Joe all day, Heath don't get more
laid back.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go into super.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Detail with that, stopping it like an Applebee's is like
fine dining though.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So he's based in but he just you know, when
he's home during the week, he's a dad, and then
he flies on on Friday or Saturday for the live
and he's genuinely excited to be on the rail, you know,
and you'll meet him in the airport and he's like,
my where are we going, were going to the gym
or were going to all of them going?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Like, he's just excited to be out. You know, Brosky,
you can inconvenience very easily. You can't inconvenience heat Like.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Heath, I got to go to my uncle Jim's house
in Columbia. It's going to be a three hour excursion.
Oh my sounds all right cool?
Speaker 6 (18:23):
This was dropping my head.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I think it's like when Mojo first gets on the
road and you try to get a free car for Mojo,
so you're like, hey, you all to ride together.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Sorry, I don't like ride with people. You remember that?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Wait? What I think you wanted to ride to me
and Mojo?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
And I said to you, like, sorry, I don't like riding.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh you big league me? No, I don't.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
It's like I hate riding with people.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, I hate.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
So I always drove with someone because I was cheap,
But towards the last year or two, it was worth
the money for me just just to be on my
mount because when I was partying, you're you're hanging out
with everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
You're getting up at fucking noon.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
But when I stop partying, I was getting up at
like seven to go work out, you know, and it's
nice to have that peace of mind of just kind
of like solid, just being quiet and being on your
own schedule career.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I think I did two loops by myself, maybe three
absolute and I enjoyed it, but I.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Didn't want to do it all the time.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I started to do it towards the end just to
just to have my own schedule.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I don't like remove people. I don't want to compromise
with anybody. Yeah, because when we were on the road
more than we're home, it's like our life.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Yeah, you know, so I want to live how I
want to live.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I think when you first get called up and you're
not making that money yet you're.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Going like four to a room.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Horn couldn't be enough.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You got horns, couldn't be enough, guys. You just put
everyone everywhere.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Man, Because back then, when you guys were like tag champs,
you know, six or oh seven, the downsides were a lot.
The pay structure was a lot different than it is now.
So you guys are tag team champions probably making like
one hundred grand.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
A year, like what we did on every show, every
live event, every tour.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
It's like probably a year what we got for that
one year.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
To what people get today is like probably a fifth
or a sixth of what a mid card of a
mid card person.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Now you know our downside when we were tagging just
seventy five.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, but you probably crushed two.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Didn't get the seventy five bump that.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Was years later, but you probably made way more than
that though.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Our original WB contros fifty two and that's minus all
your hotels and your cars.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I'm gonna do your favor, crush. Don't tell anybody.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yeah, Bro, that was a two even I'm gonna give
you one hundred thousand.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Yeah said that twenty eleven. I was your YouTube show
kids really great. I don't At the same time, I
was training with training with the Rock and he's like,
we're gonna find something for you doing great, Dwayne Love.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I'm like, I know you're getting be one hundred and
so good. And I'm sitting in the locker room. I've
never forgot this thing.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I'm like, Dann, that was a great talk and this
this is amazing. And then Heath walks and goes.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Hi, everybody trying to get by your wives.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
And then like bro, and then like everyone's looking at
you like.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Wait YouTube meet, Yeah, like of connect from the dots,
like something's up.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
So that's you know what totally off subject is when
Bruno used to call everybody handsome, So I thought he
only called me handsome for like a year, and then
he called like fucking.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Sandau or Cody Rhodes handsome.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I'm like, wait a minute, he calls everybody handsome and
it really fucking hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
But yeah, so that's that's my story with that.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Frozen I would loved from Chris. Evan Hayner would love
to hear about his role in the early seasons of
Total Divas. Watching the show now and it's like he's
the exposition guy.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Exposition.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I don't know what that means I gave me.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
I don't even remember being an adult.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah, so like Summer you went on a date with
Summer Ray the first season, I was on there with.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
My wife watched it.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
The first season, I was on there with Evan Marie
as a love interest. The second season, Summer was on it.
So I was always like that go to like piece
of meat guy. Russell was a producer.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
He liked me. He was a cool guy.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
But we always would film at like gom as Is
condo on the beach in Florida, so very easy.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeah, it was, it was, It was.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
We had the location lined up already, and I think
I was always dating one of the girls like on TV,
like they were my dancer, you know, so I kind
of like was the sidekick of whoever I was the.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Only one sitting at the stable has never been managed
by Rosa Mendez.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Yes, yes, yeah, yes, Ryan y Bosh is the cool one.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
What was it like the night after Mania?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
I was there and we were singing your theme on
the bus all the way back to Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
That's the video that went viral, correct right where?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah it was cool. It was cool, man, But I
was yeah, I mean I was supposed to.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I was supposed to be the big heel there and
obviously it kind of yeah, but you know, it's like
the Margarinian ship. You when when something gets really as
quick as it gets really cool, is usually as quick
as it kind of goes away.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
But I'm like so proud of I got, you know,
Max Caster and they claimed and all the scissoring stuff.
But literally watching this week on this is amazing, But man,
how this could be so fleeting?
Speaker 4 (23:03):
You see as fast as it gets cool, it's a
it's a lightning storm. So but that's the thing, guys
like Chris Jericho, Well, you can keep coming up with
something that gets catchy. So it's your whole body of work.
Do you want to like, do you want to just
be remembered for that one song? Or can you are
you good enough to come up with a new stick. Luckily,
(23:25):
Breeze and I ended up tagging we came up with
another little bit of a stick. So those are the guys,
the Christians, the edges that you guys that have enough,
they put enough thought into the business.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Where what's my next stick? Because if you know, a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Of people can have that one night after mania, but
usually you know, you can't just lie on those that
one thing.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
You know, you can never take that away from you, Like, yeah,
that phenomenon that you did have it that one Yeah
you know.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
But you know what if Seth Rowins or someone played
that character, I feel like, yeah, they would have had
the same reaction.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
I'll never forget showed up. There was like structure.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
For you that would lower Yeah, I remember Randy org
and like whoa Johnny Kurt's like top guy.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Randy Org looks at me right in the eyes. He goes,
fucking Mark.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
I'm like, what so, I didn't even Vince never told
me any of that shit. I just showed up for rehearsal,
you know what, Actually true story, I was checking into
the hotel, the TV hotel, because at the time when
I first started becoming Fandango, I was still you remember
how you're still on like NXT roster, you're not quite
full main So if you're not quite full main roster talent,
(24:34):
you still get your hotels and cars paid.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
For you for a little bit of your duration of
the country or whatever.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
So at that time, I was still getting the TV
hotel deal, so I would check in super late. You know,
you drive three hours to Green Bay wherever, and you're
checking in at three in the morning. Vince's in the elevator,
of course, going to work out in a snowstorm, and
I'm checking in and he's like, big day tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I'm like, I guess I had no idea what he's
talking about.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Then I show up at TV and there's all this
fucking like the you know, like the curtain gimmick that
would come down, and then the fucking the sparkle gimmick,
but it cost him like ten grand a week to
ship that with trucking. And then I'm like, I didn't
even know any of this shit was for me, And
I walk out of the bowl and Randy's like, fucking Mark, it's.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Vignettes first, and then that.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
So originally we did vignettes at the Highland Ballroom in
New York.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
He rented out the Highland Ballroom. Vince din directed.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
There was a guy, that bald guy, remember the bald
guy that got fired. He was kind of head of
creative you remember for a while, Pankowski.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
So he kind of was in charge.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I guess, yeah, so actually this this might have been
let's let's email. So this is the true story, is
this might have been one of the catalysts of why
he got fired, because I think he got fired around
this time. So he was kind of supposed to spearhead
a lot of the production on those those shoots original
and Vince didn't like the way I said fandango. I
(26:04):
just looked into the camera and said fandango. But in
his mind he wanted me to say fundamgo, which is
weird because he life imitates art. So that's how I
kind of introduced the character I would come out and
then Lilli and Garcia whoever wasn't pronouncing my name correctly.
So he took a real life situation and made it
into a gimmick.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
So he didn't like the way those were shot. He
canned him.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
One day, I'm working out at the Georgia Tech gym
right before TV in Atlanta, and I like put my
phone down. I was training with like some of the boys,
and like fifteen misscalls text messages from Mark Carano like oh.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Fuck, it's a good feeling.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
So he's like, where the fuck are you? Where the
fuck are you? Where the fuck are you? Pankowsk is
that his name? Pankowski never told me that that day,
prior to TV, there was a whole like the tron
set up up in the rafters of the arena, up
in the you know, like the skybox or wherever Vince
was producing my new vignettes, but no one told me.
(27:06):
So I show up like all dirt, like chalk and
like dirty fingernails and shit, and I didn't have time.
So if you watched those fucking vignettes, I remember Vince
just had hip surgery and he produced them all. He's like,
I'm like, listen, sir, I'm sorry, man, I know clueka
Pankowski was supposed to tell me to be there.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
He's like, it's not on you. I'm like, all right, man.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
So we filmed them, and then Pankowski was gone after that.
Yeah wow, okay, because he didn't like the ones that
he paid like one one hundred thousand dollars ones.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Oh god. And then he hired Usher's stylist.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
To send me out in New York and he gave
me like ten thousand or twenty thousand dollars to go
buy all these suits and stuff. I spent five thousand
on a Forsachi jacket that I ended up leaving over
in Europe party and yeah, yeah, but anyways, so I
filmed the vignettes and then I remember Johnny as we're
flying after one of the vignettes airs, He's like, could
(28:01):
in your vignette you could see your fingernails are dirty?
And then that was like a big deal. Then they
sent me to go get manicures and shit, I'm like, listen,
you fucking guys never told me we're filming this.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Tell me to get the fuck over to the arena.
I'm late.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I'm like, what the fuck I didn't have time to
shower anything, and you want to film these you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
So like I was, I was deadlifting like five minutes.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I was deadlifting five minutes before we filmed those fucking vignettes.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Then Johnny, I didn't say anything back, but it's like,
you know, your fucking fingernails are all dirty. You're supposed
to be a ballroom dancer. And I wanted to be like, well, no,
one don't have dirty finger lis you.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
But if you watch the vignettes, I'm like and like
I have you know, I'm like, ohh and back you know,
even back then, like ten years ago, it's like the
talent you almost felt like you couldn't say anything back.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
The talent had no leverage. You know, you're kind of
the eggshell. I'm like, you're about to push me on
to wrestle Mania match and.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
You're treating me like a fucking young boy, you know,
and that's just you know, it's like that's the ship
that just.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I don't you know, hopefully it's changed a lot now,
but yeah, just that that like test Bullyeve bullshit.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I'm like, you're literally getting ready to push me for
a main a fucking WrestleMania fucking match, and you're busting
my balls because you know, and I'm.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Just like, that's a great story. I've never heard that.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, it's a true story.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Man, was like, well, is your fucking you know, you're
you're you're a you're a fucking pretty boy ball bancer
and your fucking fingers are all dirty. And then Kroto's like,
you know, go to Tampa or wherever you're at, go
get pedicures. I'm like, dude, I'm not getting fucking petticures.
I'll take a shower. I go listen, next.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Time we do fucking mignettes, give me like a half
an hour heads up and I'll take a shower.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Isn't that funny?
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Though?
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Yeah? The fallow up to that makes for sense will
be Clinton Johnson, how is your experience in ring with.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Chris Jericho wrestle Mania?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
It was good?
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Mania absolutely sucks.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
I hate that video like from a punkin Taker on
that show, but being that we are such good friends,
I was so proud of you.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, punkin Taker.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Only like positive takeaway against so.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Vince's whole vision of that which I see was he
didn't my whole thing in FCW, and you guys were,
you were more there Hawkins than writer. But Johnny, you're
a good wrestler, good look, no character, no personality. So
the fandango thing, he goes, I know you're a good wrestler.
I've got a locker room full of good wrestlers. I
(30:34):
don't want you to be a wrestler. I don't want
to fucking Chris Jericho great match, which I know you
guys can have. I want this to be the biggest
upset in WrestleMania history. I want everyone channing fucking bullshit
because you're a ballroom dancer.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I don't want you to wrestle, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
So in in Vince's in Vince's eyes, I think he
wanted to be a five or six minute match. Chris
beats the ship out of me all around the ring.
He finally gets his hands on me, slips on a
banana peel.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I roll him up. But Chris, Chris wanted to prove
a point, which I understand.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I think he was supposed to work Rye back going
into that, and they kind of they changed it up
on him last minute and go, Hey, listen, you're wrestling
an evil fucking ballroom dancer. So I'm in the crossfire.
So I'm the guy playing this character. You know, out
of all the characters of the lists of characters, I
wouldn't have picked ballroom dancer.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I'd rather be in the fucking shield. You know. But
what are you gonna say? Now? So now I'm I mean, honestly,
I'm playing.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
So I'm in I'm in the middle of a political
a guy that I've looked up to my whole fucking life,
who obviously isn't too stoked about doing this, but realizes
he's gonna do it, so he's gonna make the best.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
So he goes, fuck that, Let's have a good match.
We went out and had a good match. Vince didn't
like it as much. He wanted the bullshit. Vince's Vince's
he's producing a marquee card. You know, he's he's a promoter,
and in our eyes, we wanted to more Chris. I understand,
He's like, this is a fucking shitty situation. Let's go
out and steal the show. But in Vince's eyes, Vince
(32:06):
wanted the character to move on. Obviously, Chris was going
to move on to something else. Yeah, so I could
see both both points of view, you know, but I
think it would have been better if he just beat
the shit out of me and I rolled him up
and then.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, but I think I think there was.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Like a lessons more situation. I think I think there
was some hindsight.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
I think there was a lot more that went into
it backstage between you know, Chris and Vince.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
And like that you're just caught in them.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, I mean, what the fuck? Man?
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Like, I mean, you know, actually, figure wise, you have
that basic that comes out.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
I've got a weird sorry to cut you off, a
couple of weird basic ones where I'm in blue right.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Well, I'm thinking of the one that's like where you
have like the shirt and then like the different haircut
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
That's the Rosa Mendes days.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
So I was I'm fired at this point. So, like
what happened there, they tried to reach start the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
You got a figure out of it, but not much
of a TV run.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
So when you debut at Wrestle Media, long story short,
we got to go film promos and wrestle today.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
So I'm not gonna go too long. But I was
supposed to win the icy title.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Yeah yeah, I got can cuss out for that rider
Taker knocked me out.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Completely detailed my career.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I was injury prone after that. Mister rider Taker over
here really fucked me. But now you guys water under
the bridge, colum. Anyways, so I think that they had
a little stick mommy. I was maybe a little injury
prone or something, or maybe I didn't tell them I
had a concussion, so they were a little sour on
that put me on the shelf.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
The character got stale.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Vince pulls me in the office says, We're gonna fucking
repackage you.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I'm like, all right, cool, go to.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Go to fillmore ballroom dancing class, go to flamenco class.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
So like, oh great.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
So every time I got repackaged, it was still a dancer,
but just a different type of dancing. When I was
the dick dancer, I had to go to like private
yeah yeah yeah for a while. And so they put
me with Rosa and it was more of a flamenco Latino.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Vince thought I was Spanish, I think, or something I don't.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yeah, so the black body suit was the creative department's
idea and it didn't get over.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
We didn't even like it wasn't even give me a chance.
I feel I didn't left.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, so I debuted and like I was fired.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
But I wrestled justin Gabriel and like a pre show
at the Survivor series, and then worked.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like a beat up.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I was like a setup guy for Roman, so like
you know, like a heel that would I wrestled Roman
a couple of times and maybe like russif you know,
like a mid card heel, and then it just didn't
go anywhere. Then it was like love angle bullshit. And
then I think they put me with another dancer or something.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I don't remember. I got a basic out of it.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Yeah, it's one of your more unique figures, I feel
like because it's so different.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yeah, it's kind of an obscure one.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Right.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Yeah, that was a really short little run there, you
know what it was too. I think I went in
and pitched a different idea and I think it kind
of pissed Vince off that you know, he's repackaging me and.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Just you know, I don't know, but.
Speaker 6 (35:30):
The had the team with Breeze coming out.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
They were doing cuts in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
I think Reason and I were both kind of get
cut and Vince Goes put him together, kind of like
road Dog and Billy gunn.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Do.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
They initially wanted to do. The writers called me, I
remember Rate around that time. It was like spring of
twenty sixteen. I think they cut like sand down a
bunch of guys around that time.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Swag. Yeah, so around that time, and I think we
were supposed to get released.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Hey, QUI down, we're doing a podcast, so they call
us up.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
They go fabulous ones promos you and Breeze. That's where
we want to Nick.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Remember nick Uh, I'm like, cool, this is right up
my alley. But we never ended up doing like a
fabulous one, saying it was more of I guess like
mism uh eminem so like Joey Mercury and who was
it Night? It was more of like a pretty boy,
I guess thing you know, seemed kind of hot at
(36:30):
you know, out the gate. Then it didn't really go anywhere.
Road Dog produced a lot of that stuff, and then
I got injured. I hurt my knee and then we
just started filming doc. I'm like, bro, if we're gonna
get released at least, let's just do And this was
mostly Breeze because he was proactivective, very proactive. Currently no,
but he was super proactive, and he's like, dude, if
we're gonna get fired, let's just do as many promos
(36:52):
so that way, you know, like you know, there are
is like they have nothing for you. They're like, well,
you gotta pitch something, but which is just busy where
for most of the time, you know, if you're a
top guy in WWE and you pitch something, there's a
good chance they might go with it, But if you're
fucking barely on TV, you know. But we switched to
be with Edge, like that's a good idea, but you
can't just be happen exactly like okay, and then we
(37:15):
had to write that. So Breeze and I just started
doing dot COM's with Dustin and the Fashion Police Ship,
which was all Breeze's idea, and it got some good
traction on like YouTube or Twitter or whatever it was playing,
and then eventually the writer a couple of the writers
got behind it and they're like, let's put a segment
on SmackDown, And that was the birth of the Fashion
(37:35):
and Files gimmick a lot of TV.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah. So it was a year and Vince did not
like or understand one.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
It might be around the time I was a producer,
and there was something that he said, something like I
don't personally get it you're a producer.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
No shit wow, probably some of your shit wow. He
literally hated.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
But he said something along the lines of like I
don't get it, but I know you guys do some
trusting you that, like.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Yeah, and it got a lot of like, it got
a lot of good traction on like their social media
and something.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
But I mean honestly, like Vince probably hasn't seen a
you know, a movie and since the seventies, and wonder
what you know what I'm saying though, like just so
little pop culture.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
To day, right, Like let me shadow him for one
day in real life.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
So if we're like doing little inside tongue in cheek
pop culture jokes, you know, like obviously he's not getting
oh she can understand, you know.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
So But yeah, so that was the birth of the.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Whole Fashion Files and then we had our little run there.
But when you're a comedy actor's only so far you
can go with that.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
And then.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Then I ended up having lay room surgery, and you
didn't really ask me my full career shoot interviews, so
I'm just gonna stop here.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
Well, I mean, Joe Hirsky, how was EC three is
a tag team partner back of the FCW days. Any
cool stories out of that time beyond winning the fc taking.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Of all the people I've ever had to work with,
EC three has been the most difficult.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
He's he's the most difficult. No, I'm just kidding, No,
he's cool.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Him and I had the same or we did the
same personality and that kind of dry humor. He's a
real funny guy, and so we shared kind of the
same the humor and it was just a case of
two guys that didn't I think Dusty didn't really have
anything for We were kind of in limbo of getting
(39:30):
called up.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It was around the NXT time where there.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
The top f CW guys were kind of on deck
to get called up to either NXT season one, two
or three or whatever.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
So Dusty just kind of threw us together and yeah,
he was he was great man. We did we did.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
We did better promos I think than matches, you know,
I think because he's he's a really good entertainer.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
I'm not saying he's not a good worker, but it was.
Speaker 6 (39:57):
Really like showing that side of himself.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I feel like the humor.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Yeah, he's a super funny guy and x T Yeah
that's it feels like. Yeah, but I think just the
business has beaten him down, getting released a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
It's hard. It's hard to be a comedy guy after
all that, you know, the business.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Yeah, yeah, so now yeah, so now he's controlling narratives.
Speaker 6 (40:23):
A couple more questions. I'm trying to load him up here.
