Take up. Go ahead, thanks man. You're at Russell Khan with Brian
Nobbs, who's been kind enough to give us some time. Brian on the
podcast, we talk a lot about your your life not lifelong with career along
friendship with Hulk and what it's been like to be in his circle all these
years. Are there times that you actually stay over the house over the years
with him, and especially when he was going through the separation stuff and wake
up and keep him company. Was there a time like that with him?
Uh? No, he's doing his old thing. I mean, you know,
everybody well documented. But he's just a good friend and a true friend,
and I'm gladly proud to call him one of my best friends. You
know, he's one of the best guys out there, and you know,
he does a lot of great things for a lot of great people, and
nobody knows it because he don't tell anybody. He's not that kind of guy's
and he's definitely you know, he's he's not only a mentor to me,
but you know, me and him or brother from the heart, you know.
So I love him to death. How's he doing. He's doing very
good. Yes he is, Yes, he is. He You know,
I go down there Monday night karaoke. Sometimes he tells me to come down,
so I come now there and I to send Joe Cocker. But it's
always a good time because you know, like hanging out. We're all getting
older here now, so it's good, you know everybody. You know,
the world needs more love and peace. Everybody's you know, hating on everybody.
Hey, so when we get together, you can feel that, you
know, yeah, exactly, Matt, what do you what do you look
back on the TNA run. Every time people talk about TNA when Halt came
in, you were there for like a month. You know, everyone says,
oh, he brought in the nasties. What do you think about that?
Well, that was just the time, like everything was kind of rushed.
They brought us in and then we just were on like a daily contract.
So we did what we did and then it wound up at the end
like they never really had a finale to it, so like heat there.
What happened at the to cause the end of it. I don't know who
was booked at the time, because Halk wasn't booked and he was Russa,
wasn't it. No, No, Russa wasn't there yet. No, it
was. I don't know who was booking. I think Dizy Carter was involved.
They had like a committee. I think they had a committee. So
whoever the kid who was on the committee, I don't even. It wasn't
like an incident where it's like fuck this we're outing here. No, no,
no, I didn't have towards you. Yo. We just said they
left like that, and then we're calling this and that, and then you
go and you said, you know whatever, you know, so we never
really was never really a finalizer or anything. So like yeah, yeah,
so so are we what Brian, what is Helk like for breakfast? I
don't know, no idea. No, we've always wondered what what what he
goes for? I don't know, man. You know, well, you
know he's egg whites. I know that, you know, a lot a
lot of protein in that. But no, he has his regime down.
I mean, he's ten years older than me, and he looks twenty thousand
times better than me, and he still works out. And I'm like,
man, because I can't even move around like that no more. But all
the my injuries creeping up on me, you know. So you know,
but you know he's he He always motivates me, you know, go get
up and let's go. And know he always says something get going, and
you know, time's you've been there? You ever you ever cook for him?
Anyone else ever cook for him? Like him an omelet or something?
Kidding me? I don't cook at home for my wife. What the hell?
What kind of question is that we have a podcast? I always wonder,
like, what whatever? What about? What about the pressing for the
Nasty Boys? Not everything about Home a Christmas? W mean, I've always
wondered. Uh So. One of my favorite shows the nineteen ninety one Royal
Rumble. You're in, Matt, You're you're the last two with Quake,
But SAgs isn't there? Why? What? What was the deal? I
don't know? And in ninety two I wasn't there. I didn't know what
people say, I don't know, that's just the way they booked it.
But he got told at the last minute me to go down, and Sag
didn't go down. And then I looked on the shard, Oh when do
I go in? I went, Oh? I going in seventeenth? I
okay, now who's stolen me out? And I keep seeing this guy,
this guy, this guy is I go me Earthquaking Hulk. At the end,
I went, holy shit. And then I then I told him,
Yo, give me the big boot and I'll take it over the top.
He goes, you're a pretty big boy. You think you could do that.
I said, not a problem, and we're He hit me with it.
I was so much adrenaline. I went over the top rope by about
five foot. It was amazing. I love the way you go landing.
I just said, whoa, because I really in that match, really felt
what Halkremania was all about. All the fans cheering them on and me in
earth take meeting them down. I mean that was that's that's a memory,
you know. And then right after that, you know, we go and
wrestle the Hart Foundation and when the titles right here in La WrestleMania seven,
dude, and that that that made our careers. Dude. What were the
boys told about WrestleMania seven in terms of why it got moved from the coliseum
to the sports Arena. It was the war, the war broke out,
Yeah, and it was a low ticket shales. Oh, the War broke
out, and it wasn't telling him he's done at need all this security and
it was gonna cost that much more money to get the people through and scan
him. And everybody was worried back in the day, so you know,
so it was you know, cost of fishing just to go to the sports
arena because the war broke out and screwed everything up. You know. So
right were you were you in the war games when Colonel Parker's his pants If
it's when when we were in there, or that we were, I think
it was me Dusty dusting. Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't remember
hitting this band. That's like, hey, that's like a myth. But
