Welcome to xpac one, two, three six days. Yeah. Hey, hey Denise. Hey, I'm glad to be back this weekend's all you guys killed it last. Now great chemistry, you like that 19. This is fun. Thanks. All right. Well, we're a day late getting The Showdown because I got back, you know yesterday when about 10? Yeah. Yeah, and I would have came right here. Actually. I know you were ready to be your waiter pre-round States this tier if you guys are ready. You know, yeah totally and then last week when I didn't even really know what time my flight was getting back here, you know, all right back home last week when we finish the show sure it was so how was it? How was your evening? All I want me was okay. It was it was a really as far as the reunions part and a lot of that is just the reunions of everyone getting together, of course behind the scenes like okay, that's funny. This was as soon as I walk in the hotel and by the way, Tampa, Calm down right see Pete Tampa, you know, I'm built for Minneapolis, but I grew up in st. Pete dampen. Okay, Warren and st. Petersburg, whoop-dee-doo cares, so I don't even know why that why mention that part but I did. So anyways, the driver picked me up the airport brings me the hotel and I check can and I'm just kind of tiptoe. And by the bar and all the sudden I hear Sean Whoa, man, you're the only one. On here that's been to rehab more times and me get in here have a drink with us. Whoo. Oh my God shit and I look over there's an H. There's Steve Austin Godfather Ricky Steamboat Medusa. It was anyways, it was a hell of a crew in there and they were having a great time and I really missed out right? Well, I was just like I just got off the plane. No coast to coast and even though I don't drink I still would have been great to hang on but first ya, you know, I'd never came back down and you know next day Austin's I hey man, what the fuck you keep papers for I was gonna say talk about being late to the party. But then you decided not to come down at all. Imagine that I feel like everybody be like what like this is happening down here in my hotel lobby. I'm gonna be there. Well, anyways, I saw It's got came up to the room and we just had you know shot the shit and set on a balcony and you know, did our things that we do and yeah, so it was it was to answer your question time. Excellent. It was a great time and you know, a lot of people didn't think you know, the actual robbery Union part was and there's some parts about that weren't ideal. Obviously we'll get into hmm. And I and also a little bit later. I don't know if I mentioned that's why I know I didn't mention it and it's got all be joining us. It would go gonna call man. And are we to call him one of the other will talk to him something. Yeah, he'll be in the middle of grocery shopping right? Yes time. Would you put that in the headline grocery shopping with some shopping with Scott. There you go. We're gonna talk to Scott because not just about their re-union, but you know, I kind of want to get into You know his weak at the PC. Hmm before before the reunions, like he was their performance center sure teaching a big man class. There you go. So we're gonna talk to him a little bit. But all right. In fact, yes being a big big men didn't NXT just debut a 7-foot guy the seven foot three. Yeah unreal. Yeah. Absolutely unreal, that's pictured insane. Yeah crap. What's his name again? Oh shit. I know he's with Stokely Hathaway. And yeah are the former Stokely Hathaway. Super good guy. Yeah, super sweet guy like you get matter of fact, it's like we got to tell him. Hey, man. Can you look me like, can you be scary is it Jordan? Jordan Beggin? Ya I'm not saying that probably quite right and I think you got it. Yeah. So anyway, yeah. Nice big ol giant. So hey, so what's going on in the East? Let's go ahead and get it into the news. All right, so we finally have the Since I'm the answers to the questions, we've been asking about aew and their deal with TNT. So they just announced actually before we went on air today. Here's all the information we know about their show. Alright, so the are going to be airing on Wednesdays as of October 2nd. So October 2nd two days before Smackdown starts up on on Fox on October 4. So 2 days priors on Wednesdays. The first episode is going to be taking place at the Capitol One Arena and Washington DC ticket sales. Or this will be announced on July 29th on social media and they also said they're going to be having to our weekly series shows 8 to 10 p.m. Eastern time. So now we know the time slot of that but here we go. Here is the name for their show their show is going to be called Wednesday night dynamite and kind of have an idea that might be the name of it. Well, we had the idea of the trademark. And that was earlier on like even before like a lot of their stuff show started happening. We already had like some trademarks for names and stuff like that. But basically they're going to be having shows different cities every week Nationwide. So yeah pretty exciting news. What are your thoughts? Great for us. Right right exactly. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just really really looking forward to see what they have to offer. And what a two-hour AW Television show live right right gonna look like right. So now what do you think that they have to do to make sure and because he obviously the first show people are going to win no matter what because of curiosity you name it so their ratings are going to be there especially for the first show or maybe even the first few shows, but what do you think that aw has to do in order to keep the fans? Really interested in what it is that they're doing because you know people have said like oh whether or not they're going to be a competition to WWE is really going to be put to Testaments once they actually start doing weekly shows. Yeah. And who was it? Oh crap. It was somebody was even talking about yeah. Okay, there's a big buzz now and shows are selling out, you know in 30 minutes or even 30 seconds or whatever, but you know, that's right now right, you know, and this is somewhat damn it was at Jericho and might have been Jericho, but he said, you know, that's because you know, there's a big buzz right now and like once everything comes out. It's not going to be like a bunch of sure 30. Yeah, we're still in the honeymoon. Yeah, kind of but the real test will be, you know, 6 12 18 months down the road. Yeah, and and that so I don't know I just I think it's important that I imagine are going to establish I characters and storylines right kind of like they do in a pilot an official. Yeah, they've got a good head start with the the pay-per-view events that they've done so far and that's fine for their for their base the fans but we need more than you know, I think some of the kind of like the lesser-known guys will be will be spotlighted on the weekly show and so we'll kind of will see sort of the midcard to lower card sort of fleshed out. We know obviously No, there there major names all that stuff. We've seen a lot of those what's really interesting to me and what will really be the test is how their lower card is fleshed out. Yeah, and because it's it when you've got a full roster, it's tough to balance everything out no matter what you know and make sure nobody gets overlooked or underused or you know, anything like that do we think that I mean, how big is our roster now by the way, they don't think well, I don't I don't know the exact number but I was actually going to ask you if you thought that their rosters had much depth to it because I still All kind of feel like you know, they have some they have some incredible Talent. You know, they have Darby Darby Allen they have Lucius or if they have jungle boy. I'm trying to like, you know, they have a lot of young guys that you know have been getting over at the show's mjf. You name them different different people, but I almost still feel like there needs to be more to sort of, you know, get people especially people that are maybe not casual are not wrestling fans are really just casual wrestling fans or maybe are just going to be like, oh there's wrestling on TNT. Let me You know, it's a sort of to gravitate towards that mainstream audience as well. Because you know, you're going to need those people that sort of pool the mainstream audience. So you're going to need those people with those really star Powers start their Stone has well actually in Jericho and Kenny. Yeah, I did but I'm talking about okay, I'm talking about people the mainstream are aware of the right, right and they're not really I mean Kenny's a big star but not like to the Casual people that are just kind of like You know peripheral wrestling fans, which it's important to grab those people of course. Yeah and in that but just Jericho Moxley. Yeah, unless I'm forgetting anyone child think I am but I think I think I only got Cody and Dustin and I mean their names that people know and right and I think that that's that's the challenge that they face in front of them is making those names that aren't mainstream into mainstream names now that they've got this coverage on TNT, you know people that are just flipping through the channels and we'll stick around. Week for like oh shit. I hope I see this guy again, you know know I'll be up just here. I'm really curious to see how different aw TV is going to be from you know, WWE shows right? It's actually a certain feel to them exactly and especially considering it'll be on the same night as an XT. It'll basically for all intensive purposes be going head-to-head with NXT. So I think they've said That they want their show to be a straightforward wrestling show. Now from the shows that we've seen their pay per view shows. We've seen that obviously they put on a straightforward wrestling show, but they also add a lot of different length segments and quirks and stuff like that. So now my thing is are they going to be more like a like a new Japan where it's like match match match for everybody like a little bit extra of both see I wonder how much backstage segment type stuff they're going to do or you know, or is everything going to be in front of People write exactly like all the interviews or you know, because that sad if there's weight different different, you know mindsets when it comes to because I know like I know some wrestling I know I'm not going independent level and and that like there's something that like to keep everything, you know done in front of the people, right? I don't know if that really matter is it just it's tough. I think I think it'll be a decent mix I think. I think I think what they what they tell me what they most likely mean is just an enhanced focus on the wrestling. So not necessarily no backstage stuff for promos, but probably a limited amount, you know less than what I think we're going to see a lot of a lot of excuse me a lot of character, you know, you know in her introduction of of characters. Yeah, you know, I'm good. Oh what a some work. I think you just reminded me of something when you said NXT because it And been confirmed it's just a theory right now that they might be running on FS1 correct Wednesdays. So now I'm not going to comment on that. But let's just say that that does happen. No matter what that will be taking a chunk of the audience against aw. Sure. Well, I think either way it'll be taking a chunk because even if it's just on the network a lot of people will tune in, you know, right when it's kind of first airing and I'll take that I'll take away from the from the live viewing audience but people you know, man exactly it's 20 to watch a 20-19. Yeah. That's what are they going to watch live? Right? Right. We're going on first. Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well one of the things that we should also throw in as well. Now that we're talking about this right now is that CM Punk has been announced as a headliner for starcast on August 31st. Now, we all know that CM Punk has been getting different offers from different Browns of the entertainment world to do this to do that. He's even talked about this with Ariel helwani about how he got like all these crazy offers when he first left WWE and people have been sort of waiting and wanting to What he's gonna do next and so this announcement of him being at starcast. It's raising a lot of questions as to whether or not this is any sort of signal that he's going to be coming to aw Etc. Should he be coming to aw, but all I know is that he is going to be having a one-on-one interview and he is also going to be having a meet and greet the same day with the fans and one of the things Conrad says that he's just always wanted to have CM Punk on at his part of his professional the score for for starcast. Absolutely and it's something I mean, I'm surprised he wasn't there last. You know, the first one actually and actually I don't know if I surprised but I will be surprised if he doesn't show up in aw, really absolutely and I've said this I mean, you know, you do the show at me and I mean you're you know, sure your more recent addition to the show, but I mean I've been saying this since since they announced a ew, but do you think This is the timing like right now if CM Punk is gonna go to aw. Let's say they're in the works and talks like that. Do you think it would be smart for them to like do it? Like now that they're going into this big, you know, they're all about to make their TV debut on TNT October 2nd. I don't know I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up on the very first right now the very first show that would be yeah and it'll definitely be a pivotal moment. If it happens within the first few no month or two something like that whether that happens remains to be seen but God. Yeah if that happened on episode one, that's that's a game changer. Yeah for reals and I can just imagine like because even though like we see it as a possibility and you know, maybe like, okay like we see that it might happen etcetera. I think that the fact that if it does happen, it's still going to be like, oh man like oh, this is real right bright and and talk about something that'll get mainstream eyes on it, you know. I think that all that will definitely do if that if that's what's ended what ends up happening. Okay moving on this our last tidbit of news is that Ring of Honor and the NWA have parted relationships as we know they've been sort of working together Nick out. This has been doing matches commentary Logano was doing the YouTube channel different stuff like that. So apparently according to pwn cider. Nick eldest is no longer on the August 9, roh summer SuperCard show and they have officially parted relationships. Everything's are really on good terms that sort of thing and a Billy Corgan also told pwn cider or according to pwn cider that he intends to put as energy towards producing a weekly Standalone NWA series after his Smashing Pumpkins tour is over. When is it over? I do not know I should check that but after the Smashing Pumpkins tours over bunch. I feel like to me like it was kind of interesting that you know, obviously that's you know his where his Fame came. That sort of thing but it almost like makes you think like is it like is it a back burner thing? Like when is that control gonna really like I don't think so. I don't think so at all. It's just you know, it's not his bread-and-butter and wa hmm, you know, I he he's committed to this and and that but he's got to Smashing Pumpkins to her that you know, select it goes into absolutely. Yeah 13 in the middle of a tour. Like that, right? Oh, yeah, it's totally understandable. Yes, I think sometimes isn't the most important thing but I mean, I know it's a wrestling show but because I think people would be saying the exact same thing if it were if it were opposite if he was like, yeah, we'll get the Smashing Pumpkins together for a tour after I do this wrestling show. Don't be like what the hell music fans. I think that I think roh benefited greatly from having NWA relationship. They might not have thought so but I sure did right and and Lagana is as far as they look around and goes does awesome like video content as well like the the series that they create an episode that they create are absolutely for. So awesome curious to see what they're going to do with, you know with Eli Drake because fan of his and I can would have been my Pick for NWA Champion 100 is right up there, right? You know, there was a couple guys and Nick was one of them too. Yeah, and I'm interested. Yeah, he's got a little program going on with James storm for the national time right now. That's I like the baby vase in that. Right? Right. Right, right. Seriously. Yeah, not only that out because I mean, you know, James is kind of like pull, you know, sure but he's not, you know, your conventional a be faced by any right there both that kind of Babyface where they try they Have that edge, you know, so it's tough. Yeah, it's tough to say but Eli Drake definitely is I'm a big fan of his and he's one of my favorite promo guys just as great business right now. So yeah. Yeah that's happening and then debate front. What else? All right. Well, that's pretty much it for our new stuff. Do want to go into our break. Yeah. Sure. All right, we'll go to break. We'll come back.

Here we go. Otherwise known as Atlanta Scott Hall. Hey, Scott. Hey, yo. Hey. It's been a while. Yeah. Wow. Hey, man, did you have fun Barry in the younger Talent the other night? I know I did. Well, I mean, we're the police they have to dig this up just a soft go out and bury their job guys. Nice day shit. That looks good looks good. So how do you feel about that? Because I mean, I don't know kind of felt like it was a bit of a burial on those guys. Well what people don't realize is everybody in that room when it was presented to us said well, gee like kind of burying those Johnson and it was it was addressed and it was overruled Embassy AB, that's okay. All right. Well, yeah, so I mean it's not like we didn't really like I mean we thought it and it's just like what are we gonna do say? No, we're not going to do it, right? Yeah. Yeah, but that time I mean gosh, I just want to go on early and be out. Yeah that if they stick they you know By the way, you guys are in the last segment to stand up there with the route 40 Legends - my favorite part of the whole experience was sitting in what they called The Legends lounge and just here and guys talk and laugh and I feel that the wrestling business today is so politically correct at even when the performers talk to each other. They're real guarded with what they say and stuff like that but in the Legends Lounge bunch of old timers like us that came up in a different era when you could talk to the guy using colorful language. It didn't mean you didn't like them. It's just how guys communicate and it's really fun to hear. Oh my gosh. Hey, how fun. Was it the scene H nature in the Legends Lounge like on his speed dial calling Lawrence Taylor going. Hey, here's Ron Simmons and connect connect and Lawrence Taylor and Ron Simmons and just you know, Derrick Brooks NFL Hall of It was naked get at the show. Yeah, the damn president. He had Parts Taylor on the phone that he had heard some Walker on the phone anybody and then they give you probably don't know who he is, but he brought Bad Bunny back into the end of the locker room or into the legends of dance. I shook hands with some kid with the pink. Mohawk the famous rapper. Not my not my area, you know, but yeah, welcome to the show. I mean if you're with Nate's you're cool. Yeah. So what you're saying is that we should we definitely missed. Out in the legend slams. That's where that's where the phone was happening. I said repeatedly young lady. I think they should had a camera in there. You can always bend it it out, but there was just so much laughing and stuff and they've been around Ric Flair these days. It's always been enjoyable but these last few days and you know, I'm not putting words in his mouth, but just my take on it since he's had that major Healthcare. He looks at life differently now, and it's not like he didn't enjoy life before. But he is completely cool with the point that it might in tomorrow. So I'm going to enjoy every moment of every day and when you're around somebody like that, it's got a bunk. That's it. Yeah, it's contagious. I get that. It's hard not to laugh and have a big huge smile on your face when you're around that guy these days. He's always laughing. I mean, you know, he became he'll like we talked about he'll be telling a story and because in his mind, he knows the punchline. Yeah. He just laughed. But we all laughed because he throwing her K and you just want to see Rick happy. I was telling I was telling everybody before you came on. Like I'm trying to sneak through the lobby to go up to my room and all of a sudden I hear Sean Waltman, you've been to rehab for times at me get in here with who you know, just I didn't have your funny man. I remember I remember when after we connected we ran go get something to eat and we went down the elevator and the bar was to the left and there was rigged. And Steve Austin everybody and we went I'm never getting the phone going Siri sushi near me. Yeah, we we left the hotel and went to retreated a nearby sushi bar. It's got like to be that hey, so I mean, well not speaking of that, but then you really are you really look great these days man, you sound great and and in the makes me so happy man, because I love you very much. Thanks buddy for me. You know, like I just finally realized that you know, I'm allergic to alcohol. I mean every time I drink I break out in handcuffs. No, it's just no I mean like, you know, like we talked about Over there just have three or four mmm, but I don't want to have three or four. I want to have 20 and I want to close the bar. Then I'm going to go to an app to your club and you know, so I just realized like just just stay away from the completely. I think me and you on your balcony solved all the wrestling process. It was I think we book I think we booked the WWE for the next five years we and what what you both go by on the river and I was telling these guys hate that was hate that that That time we spent on my balcony. I cherish that man. That was a great time. Yeah. That was perfect. Yeah, it was great and they go ahead sorry. No, I mean as I get older, you know, I just fix you all back you start to realize like Rick is realizing like, you know. You know, I've got a bunch of bumps and bruises. Well, I think we've all got some brain damage, you know, but if you ask me what I do it all over if yes, I would mmm knowing what I know. I still do it over it was a great ride and it's fun. I mean when you look at that list of alleges that was their raw mean look at all the guys who are for who weren't there? So many guys from are are are dead. You know, it feels like feels like sometimes we got to keep going for those guys. That's their memory alive, but we know we tell stories about them and there's still there's still part of our industry. Yeah. Hey, so it's got a wooden. I want to talk about your time at the PC before, you know, like leading up to the to the robbery Union because you were there for what a week. Yeah, it was great. I was actually you know what? I handle about 8 or 9 days cuz I went in early but I supposed to Triple H in the past about you know, let you know who's trading the big guys. So we had kind of a many many big guys Summit, you know where I got to watch films with the you know, the bigger guys men have one-on-ones with some of them and you know, even getting a ring and talk about their different movesets and what they got stuff and man, I'll tell you I went I saw this new kid they have Honor Jordan they were just talking about him. Big kid like seven for about 440 just a monster and he had to I was there for debut match and I got to produce it and it's just that connection, you know how it is. When you connect with a guy when he doesn't know anything and you teach him something. Yeah, and they come back to the curtain and then you you have a relationship with that person for the rest of your career kind of like those rocket was somebody in the ring. Yeah, even if you never have lunch together, you never travel together, but you could point across the Ben go all work for them. Hmm. Oh, yeah. I mean, I we all realized years ago. It's not show friends. It's Show Business. Yeah, we all don't have to get along we have to do business together. Hey, and the thing is this I'm sorry. Keep going fucking you know me. Sorry. Go ahead. It's going to say that kid Jordan. He's such a big guy, but he's so you know, he's young and he's got a big smile on his face and I was talking to some of the other coaches going college guy just doesn't have enough prick him. Yeah, you know, I Well, I go alone. So and Boyd went but when you know when I told my son, let me see your mean face and he just squinted his eyes a little bit and quit smiling. I want to lose. Yeah, I guess you know, he's going to be money and I love the way the all you know, the camaraderie that comes in our businesses and all locker rooms, I guess but everybody's you know, I kind of talked to the guys whose job it was to highlight Jordan and I said, hey man like you guys really Crow You putting this guy over here in the future. He's going to sell out Arenas and the whole company's going to make money and you guys are the start of it. You know, blah blah blah. I had my yeah, I had my pom-poms out. I was Cheerleading. Hey, so on the Big Man classic. Hey, dude, dude has a big man still work the same as he did in our heyday. Well, you know like I like I went through like big calves went to these guys are at the point and I don't want to work with the top guys. I'm trying to get the guys coming in the door, you know, so everybody goes through that thing. Well, I'm not just a big man. I can come off the top I can do that and I went through it so I acknowledge it but then I try to point out these guys. Okay, you don't do it that good and nobody wants to see you do. But I've tried to be kind about it because everybody wants to do it. Anyway, I like them to do it. We film it then come back and look at it and go now what do you think? Hey, so I think I remember you telling me back in WCW when Kevin was there when you both were there cat was doing LeapFrogs and shit. All right, brother. He did it it was I had Walter Payton in my corner at SummerSlam. We open the United Center in Chicago. Chicago so met with Walter in my corner versus diesel was Shawn Michaels in his corner and Kevin insisted on leapfrogging me then. Yeah. I remember I was so mad about it, you know, and we're all riding together. I was so mad about but I finally like okay, let's do it. Then, you know it was the first is the first and the last time you'll ever see Kevin match to that. Hey, but you know what he did do that was really good that flying shoulder. Older tackling that in that tag match we had on an action Zone. Well, that's what he did. He did LeapFrog flying shoulder, but then he stood there on his knees like so proud of himself and I'm doing this Shawn Michaels. I'm laying there scrape that guy I've ever met. All right. Yeah. I mean if I take the bump at least cover me, yeah. Hey, so do you teach Jordan different than you teach just your average big guy? I mean giant is different the big guy, right? Well, the thing is good kid. He's not really a Aunt he's really huge but I don't see any that giantism. You know that trait. Yeah, I think he's just a big guy. He's a big guy. I'd like to try to blend the two he's not. Yeah, I don't want to criticize you got the Big Show's of fucking crazy strong. Yeah, you know because of that giantism and it and this is just a big guy like when you have long arms and stuff, it's hard to lift guys over your head and press yes just bed extra distance and I don't think he's ever touched away before, you know, he's all new to this conditioning and stuff, but he bro. He's Remember, you told me Matt riddle. You send me the picture when you were down or said yeah, you draft pick. Yeah. Well, I'm drafting Jordan - Jordan. Yeah, so you were also a little of party little it so money. Hey talk to me about your interaction with him. You don't mind. Well, yeah, you know a lot was going on with PC that week, you know, Matt Bloom head coach and some of the staff they Were in Shanghai in China for you know International dry out? Yeah, there's like those Skeleton Crew there I said in one skull session was shown in the top then XT performers and then the next day Sean left for the UK. Yeah, but during that first meeting I guess there's a designated time because everybody else was there. Yeah, we start watching the thing riddle comes in a little bit late if he's so funny. I don't remember really ever meet them before. Or maybe I put it looked into it. Hey, bro, and I'm sitting at the table next to shot Bolin don't hug me when God is fair, but it's just like snaps with the I just I watched him for he had a match. What about 15? You never even had the ropes. Yeah, right. It was just and it was exciting. Citing just grappling and that's what I tried to point out to some of the young guys, you know after Sean left and I had some sculpt this is just you know myself and I tried to tell these guys like most of the guys running our company. Most of the decision makers are guys about my age. Yeah I said so you get I said you get a point for doing anything different I said we're going to it's going to be a column like never seen that before and you'll get a check mark. I said that's good, you know, like the I don't know. It's it's just so exciting that the night that Jordan debuted in Lakeland. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep and I got back. Hey. Hey, can you can you explain to everyone that's watching and listen to what the skull session is? Well, it's just where they actually do it at all levels. Now, they have different tiers of you know guys as they develop through the performance center system and and Shawn Michaels obviously working with the very top guys, you know that Adam Cole stuff like that. So it's where it had to one session, you know, we we, you know, we watch their most current matches back and everybody gives their feedback and then the guys it's kind of like wrestlers Court, you know, sometimes you get called out and you're here. Defend yourself and then we watch some stuff that you guys have done years prior. It was one of those things where you know, when you watch your old stuff some of it Go. Wow, I need to keep doing that or somebody you go out. I thought it was really good back then and I suck. So, you know, we did some old tape study and I try to remind guys sometimes go back and watch the old stuff it'll pump you up about you are making progress and it might remind you of some of the old things that you were doing that you need to hang on to. Yeah. It hard sometimes for those guys to hear that critique, especially if maybe it's something that they actually enjoy doing in the ring, but maybe they got called out for it or something like that. Well, of course it is hard. So my experience was I sat right behind the curtain at the live event in Lakeland. Now, we'd already had stole sessions with these guys during the day and kind of laid out matches for him and stuff. But to me when they come through that curtain, you know, they're you know your blood flowing you feeling good. Nobody got hurt and these guys got to stick around the whole crew sticks around breaks down the ring loads in the truck before they go home now. They got to break the ring down. Every time we land yeah, I just didn't want I didn't want to be negative with these guys everybody who came to us said hey way to go way to go, you know, and I figured the time to do the critiquing is because they do it. So regularly is in the skull session. I don't want to stamp on anybody when you're sweating in there feeling good and they got along right? I don't want him driving around going because suck. I suck. She I'm trying to find a fan funding fan that flame of creativity because I don't think these guys are ready for that. Critique right at Ya, were you able to teach promo class as well? I actually did I was so lucky one day the final day. I was there Friday before Robbie. What's his name? Rocku, 3 million dollar arm dude, right? Yeah. What's his name? Rincon sing some like that. Yeah, I'm saying. Yeah. Wow guys money. Oh, he's so money. We watched some of his moves and stuff and these days, you know, he's super respectful, you know, he comes in it was there early and it was just him and I so I could a so, what do you got you want any questions? I said, let's let me see your stuff. what stupid stuff that he suggested a can we do promo class and and I tried it, you know, I really made a connection with him because he was kind of running down is his background like, you know, I was in the Olympics. I was a Disney movie about me this and that and then he kind of shifted. He's got a good face and really intense eyes and you know, he went into the Hard Sell and I said I said just my experience. Nobody has the attention span these days. I mean what what number used to do two minute interviews now? Yeah, that's it is all people really. Attention to I suggested to him. You got to remember now the announcers going to run down your background. That's something that they cover I said you go in right to the Hard Sell and get out of there and bro. He I could see the light bulb flickering off his head and he had a notepad. He was right to step down and he's gonna coach goes. I got it. I got it. I could just psyched about rest of your next problem with that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We'll be sure to tell these guys who helped you. To the the amount of like bigger interesting to me because for so long as him like there was this huge renewed focus on cruiserweights and now NXT is it seems like they're kind of filled with all of these really awesome. Guys, like keighley and Damian priest guys like that. What do you think goes into like being a successful big man in 2019? Well being big to start with I mean, I agree it has got a lot of guys like Ricochet who come to and been great. But to me, I mean when you look at by rates on UFC fights heavyweights always draw more mean there's always to me there's always been a place for heavy weights, but I don't think it would Buys it does jobs and jobs and yeah, that's generally speak and I agree with you that's got especially rustling. Hmm But it up. I came in what's question was now. Sorry about that big being a successful big guy these days. What do you think goes in are you I don't think I think that there was a period where there was only kind of little guys coming through the door. Yep. So I don't think it was a conscious effort where they were they rejected bigger athletes and only chose smaller Crews away guys. I don't think that happened. I think that's just kind of who who came along. Yeah. Well, there aren't a lot of her that mean there's just there when a lot to choose from right? I mean, that's really what that's just all that that's been out there in recent years. Well, then it's and it's like Scott was saying the line between like what cruiserweights do and what heavyweights do these days is getting more and more blurred. Hey, Scott. Yes. Hey, so so I guess people know now like that that are segment was supposed to be involving Ricochet right and like he gone, you know some staff on his elbow everybody know because yeah, you know, I'm not I'm not much on social media, but I was getting a bunch of you know, my God, they're holding, you know, or what Seth doesn't belong in there. Going yeah, we know that bro, but guess what cards up to chance? Yeah, and it wouldn't Ricochet was he was a man. He was so disappointed he want to do that so bad, right? Well, it was the perfect spot for him because he you know, we could have given the rub damn. Yeah, you know mean death is at a point where he's got his successful career on his own but I mean asterisk are subject to change. Yeah, you punch your haters. It was going to be Ricochet and we were trying to elevate him not hold him down. Down. Yeah, hope it weren't trying to steal Seth Thunder. It's what happened the guy who's injured stuff happen. Yeah bummer. I actually had two remaining questions for you about the PC in terms to the PC. Well one I wanted to know what the most impressive thing to you was there and to if you're looking to become a full-time trainer at the PC. The answer number two is yes, please most impressive thing down there. I think what I like and what I try to encourage and you know, is that all the other guys helping the other guys like with big Jordan ring where came up like green costume in the skull session because you just came out like jeans and a t-shirt on and this guy 7 4 4 40 And I've got into the day. I just ask the other guy at the other guys in the class. Like anybody got any comments on ring gear anybody anybody and nobody said anything and I gazed it right away. They're just being really respectful because he's a young guy we're all really sensitive, you know, and so then one guy said well, yeah, maybe next time just take your shirt off, you know, and so I mean it was just to me it's just like a little things like that. Just getting guys. Here's the part. I love the most is When the seed and coming back and seeing how it works. Um, hey, I enjoy like I said, I don't want the advance guys that want the guys coming in the door. Well, that's always been how you are. Right? I mean the top young guys coming in the door help help mold down. I learned that from Kurt. Yeah, you know, I'll never forget. I'll never forget I keep curse but in time with you young guys and back when they had enhancement guys, like job guys that you just squash court would spend time with them talk to him after the match and stuff like that. Give him my number. Yeah, he would do prepare him extra stuff. Turn out to be yep. Hey, so speaking of Kurt and taught and and and you know that type of thing, you know, one of the things he taught me was, you know, you got to get to know like all everybody the production people like all those people that you know Department because they're the ones that make you look like a star, you know, man curtain exactly. Right Kurt Kurt told me the same thing. I was there a little bit before you but you baby face the whole crew. He knew the lighting guys by name the ring. Ooh guys, and that's why I thought it was so cool last night when Steve Austin was doing his promo and talking about how his brothers and sisters and you know, we're all a family and then that did he include the crew. He said this guy right here holding the camera and this guy rolling up them cables and I'm guys driving the trucks were all family. Yeah WWE Universe everybody wants around the world. You got we're all family. Hell I was looking at my forearm. I'm getting Goosebumps getting them now. I mean, that was good. Up. Hey, can we talk about how huge his reaction was when he came out compared to everyone else? Oh my god. Well, it was really smart. And I mean Steve's over huge. Yeah, but it's thinks I'm he, you know, they advertised in there but you didn't see him until the very end. So people know it's going to be a last thing because you know, we saw flare arrived we saw Hulk earlier which teases the people and your Viewing audience keeps them entertained but that huge eruption, you know, it's just great and they say so they worked it worked 3.09 if I'm correct and it was the highest rated raw for 2019. Yeah, so thank you very much. Well, yeah, and I wish we could are the only problem I had is we didn't hold down and up guys. Yeah. It's a I want I wanted to get I wanted to bury Kofi a little bit or you wouldn't even there. I guess I have to we should we should have went to Miami and smack you on the ferry some of those guys. No shit man. Now that you mention it, I'm sorry. Yeah for me at the talent having been on both into this. I've been one of those young guys on the current roster. Yeah who was filling those Arenas and had the old guys come in and get the pops into oil. He's enjoyed it. I love seeing the old timers and catering and stuff. Yeah guys that you grew up watching. I always love that. Yep. So I think most of the challenge really don't have a problem. There's a few guys who aren't happy with your position that just bitch about anything but I think overall most of the guys are happy and it's in and we're in and out and hey, you're going into a pay-per-view and you had more viewers so shut up. Well anything else. Yeah. I actually wanted to ask you. so whenever they have these types of shows like whether it's raw 25 or raw reunions that sort of thing one of the things that's always brought up is your match with Shawn and you know, even now 26 years later which we did talk about that on a few weeks ago on the show, but I want to know with you your thoughts in terms of did you think that even now 26 years later people would still be talking and raving and just you know mentioning it Well for me looking back on it and then realizing how much you know kid would become part of my life. I just wish I would have refused to do the whole thing. And I've never seen that was graphic. I think I should have just said no and it was so cool, and it was huge for me. People are going well as really cool you, you know, you put kid over and you know, nobody nobody ever put little guys over before she like that. I'm going first of all these steps as hell. Yeah, but I said Mike it was great for me to know remember got older member Godfather asking if you fail to piss test I never you know, the man has been he got to walk up the steps and I know about it way in advance, but you know been said don't tell anybody so I didn't tell anybody. He went mad and you killed a piss test. I don't know what's going on man. I mean, I remember the look in people's faces in the audience. You know, WWE's Twitter account put out arguably the first shocking moment. Yeah, I don't know you you were right away. I was arguing. That was the first thing that really made it Feel Like Anything could happen on Riya. Yeah, it's know. Hey is everything you could be bent as catchphrase Monday Night Raw where Anything Could Happen out usually does it was really wrong. Right? Like it wasn't like this super slick thing. Like it is like it is now right? Well, I think the main thing when you know, We can beat this to death. It's not going to change but it was a one hour show. So basically about 42 minutes of actual reference programming. So it was must-see TV. You never knew was going to happen and you know live TV, we all take it for granted now, but that was really exciting back there like people at home we're going. Wow. It's actually happening right now. Yeah, that's a cool box now we just take it for granted. Hey, so Scott, I guess I mean we're going to probably wrap this thing up, but looking forward to seeing you day after tomorrow for 450th birthday party. Okay. Now your are you going up Saturday right tomorrow night? It's the 26th. So what day? All right, shit. Let me look at my ticket. I'm not sure. Yeah, Bundy. I'll see you up there. I love you. Hey, I love you too, Scott. All right, man. Everybody's going for everybody else. Hey, I heard it's good at your show is turning out people who end up on Vince's TV. Yeah, then you have step jump to Benson. Yeah there you you probably saw him down at the performance center Mark Tonica, John will cost. Oh, you saw I guarantee they're there every day.

Full like life, you know and like having something to look forward to every day and and not being fucking bored right now and liking yourself. Yeah, right, you know, so yeah then DDP Yoga doesn't hurt. Hey, so if we joke and we know we talked about, you know, holding down younger guys the sheriff all that but we understand what was going on. Yeah, you know and and that's not ideal and it's interesting to me that that concern was was voice. First they're sure yeah, I saw her very nice fucking guys dafuq because I guarantee you if that would have been us we would have raised. Holy fucking hell about right? Yeah. Yeah. We probably would have beat the fuck out of some old timers. Seriously everybody decide now, we're going to leave that my in fuck down honking us anyways, but I think the fact that the Mind look I don't mean to cut you off. Denise but I would I would have been just fine if they were got to me fucking carry me out of stretch out on a stretcher. Seriously. It was very very pumped when you came out of the ring. You look the most popular like yeah, you were doing this and I was like app shot looks very pumped right now. All right. Well, hey, let's get out of here. Huh? Before we go real quick.
