00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,240
Hey everybody, hope you're doing well. This is Colt over in my studio

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,080
apartment in Chicago, Illinois. This
is a live bonus type podcast that I'm

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,880
doing. I know it's been a
while, but many a weekend was so

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,320
much fun and High Spots had an
after party and Michael from High Spots asked

5
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:21,120
me if I could do something on
stage and I was like, yeah,

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,320
I could do a live art of
wrestling. Of course, times got fumbled

7
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:28,480
up for sure, so it just
ended up being myself and mcfoley, but

8
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:31,440
I did want to present it to
you here on the timeline. And the

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,200
good news is I will be at
the Squared Circle exbo this weekend in Indianapolis

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,719
where on Friday night I'm going to
be doing another live podcast. They've given

11
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:44,280
me a full hour on the stage. There's a bunch of stage shows,

12
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:48,640
so I will be putting that on
the feed as well in the upcoming weeks,

13
00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:52,840
hopefully next week. The live portion
itself was just me kind of introducing

14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,880
Mick really quickly and bringing him up. So you know the deal. Coltmerch

to you live from my studio in
Chicago, Illinois, but I am at

29
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:14,840
the La Globe in beautiful Los Angeles, California. Today's podcast is a very

30
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:20,039
special one as we are doing a
live show during Mania weekend and Roah weekend.

31
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,400
I guess I should shout out the
old company that I work for,

32
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,840
and we are here in a huge
stage show. Following this will be an

33
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:34,439
unbelievable appearance from many talented wrestlers slash
stars, including Mickey James and Max Cast.

34
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,199
But first I would like to bring
up a friend of mine who is

35
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,080
going to come out here and chit
chat with me a little bit, chit

36
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:44,319
chat with you a little bit.
Please welcome my guest to the stage,

37
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:58,080
the legend, the fucking legend mcfoley. Everybody, mc Foley there, he

38
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:05,680
is you. Uh, maybe I'm
having trouble reading, because on my way

39
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,800
over here, I could have sworn
it's a globe theater sold out. And

40
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:14,919
well, Nick, I have some
advice for you. Put on the reading

41
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,080
glasses on your neck right there.
I'll take these off. Anyone have the

42
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:27,759
faintest idea why I'm in a tuxedo. I just came over from the WWE

43
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:35,560
Hall of Fame induction, where I
was asked about three weeks ago, called.

44
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,479
I get a message, text message
said, Hi, is this Mick.

45
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:46,039
It's Stacy Stacy Keibler, Because would
you do me the hunter of inducting

46
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,560
me into the WW Hall of Fame, and I didn't say, let me

47
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:54,520
check my schedule. I said,
yes, I will, and then the

48
00:03:54,639 --> 00:04:01,000
juggling process began. So I'm including
how would get a tuxedo? Oh man,

49
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,800
how to get a tuxedo? The
whole time I was backstage with my

50
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,599
wife's like, you look awful,
like you don't know how to wear.

51
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:14,039
And I'll tell you what. I'm
not a lip reader, but I can

52
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,079
swear that when I got up there, we do it in the stage now

53
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:20,120
and all of the all of the
w It's it's cool to see all of

54
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:27,560
the WW superstars and miss on that
stage. Used to be my ol snow

55
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:30,759
joke, right, it still works
better as out, But I could have

56
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,839
sworn I saw a triple h's lips
say, is Mick wearing sweatpants? The

57
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:45,399
answer, my friends, Yes I
am. And I even took a magic

58
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,600
marker and I covered up the R
for Russell on my pants. So I

59
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:54,839
got the tuxs top, I've got
the tie, I got the cumber band,

60
00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:00,639
I got the shirt and wearing the
sweatpants and steakers. Wow, Nick,

61
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,839
take me through the process of you
being like, I hate need a

62
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:09,319
tuxedo. What do I do I
went to the same place where Double Jay

63
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,240
got his tuxedo and uh, outside
of Nashville. And the guy's going,

64
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,959
Okay, this looks good. We
just need to take a few things in.

65
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,519
I was like, no, I
think I'm good. Off the rack,

66
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:25,040
Off the rack, brother, I
don't mess around. I can afford

67
00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:28,800
to look good. But if I
start looking too good, I'm gonna lose

68
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,079
everyone of you out there. Right, wait until the heat I get when

69
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:39,160
I finally get my bottom teeth fixed. Right, hush has just come over

70
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:46,879
the room. A hush, they
look good, there they are. We

71
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,040
should get gold teeth, Nick,
I don't know. You know who's going

72
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:55,560
to end up doing my work?
Sam White from Libertyville Dental. No,

73
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,759
that's a plug for my friends.
We got him. Then we got Ripped

74
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Rock the denters. Right, it's
right, it was right. Rip Rogers,

75
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,040
one of the great teachers wrestlers,
underhelded workers. He was having trouble

76
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,360
because he was in a car accident
and the doctor told him, the orthopeda

77
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:17,680
guy said, all of the calcium
your body needs is going to go to

78
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,439
your hip and your teeth are going
to rot it. I've never even heard

79
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:24,000
of that, And sure, enough. Yeah, Rip's Teeth, Are you

80
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,199
a dentist? Okay, so what
the heck are you doing questioning me my

81
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,279
friend? That was gonna pull rank
like I'm on dentist. I've never heard

82
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,920
of that. Well, anyway,
Rip's Teeth started having a tough time.

83
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:40,560
Colt knew that I was raising some
money with some merchandise sales at my shows,

84
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,879
and he was like, hey,
I've got a friend. So the

85
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,040
tag team due of Cabana and Foley. This is not the first time we've

86
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,079
bent on a stage together, right, it's not the first time. Going

87
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,879
back to what two thousand and eight
or was it nine? I think two

88
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,279
thousand and nine, two thousand nine, we kind of became a little touring

89
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,560
act if me, you and Bruce
Pritchard, and sometimes it was in Colt,

90
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,920
sometimes it was me and Bruce.
But I'm telling you they booked it

91
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:08,560
as total extreme comedy, which is
not what either one of us do.

92
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,639
And we had to sell out the
first night of the improv and then we

93
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,480
saw a lot of crowds kind of
like this. But I'll tell you what.

94
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,480
I'm going to take you back to
when I did the twenty Years of

95
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:25,360
Hell tour and it was just twenty
cities, twenty dates in the US.

96
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,040
And then I was asked last minute
if I could do a show at at

97
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,439
one of the conventions. Trying to
think of which show in Chicago? What's

98
00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:38,600
the Big two? Natzi two eto
the other wizard World? Here it is

99
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,759
wizard World. So I asked Glenn
Jacobs if he would do the Q and

100
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,360
A with me, And right before
we walk in, given that I've had

101
00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:48,079
exactly one day to promote this show, he says, how many people are

102
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:51,279
going to be out there? Mick
I said, could be five hundred,

103
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,639
could be fifty, I don't really
know. And when we walked through it

104
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,439
wasn't five hundred, but it was
in fifty. It was about half a

105
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,959
fifty. And so I always found
that a way to jolt myself into an

106
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:13,680
alternate reality would be to go into
character as either you know, mankind preferably,

107
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:18,279
and I remember giving a story and
I'll want me to do a little

108
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:22,759
bit of it mankind. I think
I was talking about the time when I

109
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,240
was doing the interview with Jim Ross
back in nineteen ninety seven, and I

110
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:28,920
was talking about when I was a
goalie. I used to be a lacrosse

111
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,600
player in high school, and because
I was not fleet of foot, I

112
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,919
would take my athletic cup out in
order to run laps, and I would

113
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,799
occasionally forget to put it back in. And there was one day when I

114
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,360
paid the ultimate price, and I'm
gonna take it back. It's gonna be

115
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,080
amazing. I'm gonna put my head
down as twenty twenty two, twenty three

116
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:52,440
mcfoley. When I bring it back
up, I will have transformed into nineteen

117
00:08:52,480 --> 00:09:03,519
ninety seven mankind Jimmy. I went
down like I'd been shot, and even

118
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,519
though my testicle was the size of
a grapefruit, I made it into school

119
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:15,360
that next day. It was the
only time I remember girls looking and pointing

120
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,080
at my genital area, and for
that reason, I considered that night to

121
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:26,080
be the best night in the history
of my life. And I looked at

122
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,679
the face of one person and I
could kind of read their mind. I

123
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,240
said, you didn't think I was
bringing my a game, did you?

124
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:39,200
I said, I always bring my
a game. One thing about anybody,

125
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:43,480
unless they're called in to become a
big star, if they worked their way

126
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,440
up through the ranks, every one
of us will have performed in front of

127
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,679
more crowds like this than we will
have in front of those PACT arenas.

128
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:56,559
And my friends, if you don't
bring your a game every night, you

129
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,919
don't get noticed and you don't go
anywhere. And one of the shames,

130
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,519
as one of the sad things is
that when I was on the independent scene,

131
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:07,720
when I was wrestling for ECW and
Wrestling in Japan, I did wrestle

132
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:11,440
every match like it was my last
match. And then when the crowd start

133
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,360
getting big, you start looking out
there and you start thinking, Oh,

134
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,240
there's a lot of people out here
tonight, and there's going to be a

135
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,799
lot of people out here tomorrow night. I'd better keep something in reserve.

136
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:28,200
And at that point, when you
start being a businessman, you lose something

137
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,320
really important. But I'm so glad
that I had those moments slugging it out.

138
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:35,840
I've been with Colt on many an
independent show, went to bat from

139
00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:41,840
on several occasions under the crazy This
might sound crazy, but I was going

140
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:48,039
under the premise that if you get
over everywhere you go in the country,

141
00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:52,279
in the world, there's a good
chance you're going to get over in WWE

142
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:56,120
as well. And some people didn't
see it that way, except for Scotty

143
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,000
gold Man. Scotty gold Man,
Hi, Hey, the shows are add

144
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:05,720
free over on Patreon, but stick
around. We'll be right back after this

145
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,600
break. You were talking about your
independent days, and we've done like two

146
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,519
podcasts before, yep, and I
remember the second one you were like,

147
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,600
you better ask me some stuff that
I haven't talked about because you get bored

148
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,679
of the same question. Yeah,
And so I was kind of really thinking,

149
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,960
like you were doing hardcore wrestling,
but I was like, I'm the

150
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,919
independence or at least in Japan,
the anfamous death matches, and I was

151
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,879
kind of interested in like when the
first time like a heart like someone was

152
00:11:33,919 --> 00:11:37,519
like, I'd like you to go
through nay or or barbed wire, and

153
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,840
I understand that. Like backyard wrestling, I too, like we did some

154
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:45,080
dumb shit, but once you start
getting trained. I'm sure Dominic Denucci wasn't

155
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:50,840
like pay some boys. So there
hasn't been a point where either it was

156
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:54,320
approached to you or you approached it
to somebody else. And I was kind

157
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,000
of curious when that came into First
of all, I was always drawn to

158
00:11:56,039 --> 00:12:01,519
the wild stuff. So earlier yesterday
I was doing an interview for some of

159
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:05,200
the upcoming A and E biographies,
and they were talking about Sergeant Slaughter and

160
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:11,200
how the first hardcore I guess Morocco
Snooka in eighty three July eighty three,

161
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:18,320
a few months before the famous Cell
match was a pretty hardcore match. But

162
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:24,440
Slaughter and the Iron Sheek from eighty
four was just outstanding. It was incredible,

163
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,720
and it wasn't necessarily what they were
doing, it was how they were

164
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,720
doing it. And I just always
felt what I say attracted, meaning like

165
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:37,480
that was something I wanted to do. So I was given the opportunity when

166
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,120
I started wrestling to take the things
that I liked to see and bring them

167
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:45,600
to life with the feeling that if
I liked it, some of you would

168
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,080
too. One of the beautiful things
about a week like this is no longer

169
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,000
a weekend, is that there's something
for everyone here. So if you're not

170
00:12:54,039 --> 00:13:00,720
a WWE fan, there's impact right
there's new Japan was right here, and

171
00:13:00,799 --> 00:13:03,799
if you like the crazy stuff,
they've got some of that going on as

172
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,919
well. The first time I was
given the chance to go, I was

173
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,879
asked about Japan. Now I'd done
the Baba Tour, which is, you

174
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:13,759
know, really strong style traditional wrestling, but I'd heard about the Blood and

175
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:20,200
Guts organizations, and I was coming
off of three years in WCW, so

176
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,000
I really wanted to get back there. I never thought WW was in the

177
00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:28,200
cards, so I wasn't looking at
doing stuff WW was not interested in,

178
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,919
which would be that wild hardcore stuff. But then as soon as I heard

179
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,120
that Terry Funk, that's Funk with
an end, so I'm not dropping a

180
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:39,279
bombs on any of you. As
soon as I heard he had signed with

181
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:43,399
IWA Japan, I made that phone
call to Victor Canonis, and I was

182
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,519
like, I want in because cult. I wanted to prove to the fans

183
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,440
and also to myself that I was
someone who could draw money. I always

184
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,360
felt like, as much as I
loved my three years in WCW, it

185
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,120
felt like just so when I was
getting the momentum going, that rug would

186
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:05,879
be swept out from underneath me.
So Japan was. It wasn't until Japan.

187
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,440
Japan was the first time where you
started getting super bloody and well,

188
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,679
I've been in some bloody endeavors,
but this was the first time I had

189
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:18,360
toys to help me in those endeavors. So we had a guy who was

190
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:22,759
worth either between five hundred million and
one billion dollars. He was the owner

191
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:28,320
based on the real estate market in
Tokyo at the time, and he was

192
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,039
the guy who invented some of these
crazy matches. He was like the mad

193
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:37,240
professor, mister Asano. And so
the first thumbtack match that was me.

194
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:43,279
We called it a pushpin misery deathmatch. And I'm sometimes asked like, well,

195
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,639
why didn't you sue Nigan since you
were using the barbed wire bat in

196
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,519
nineteen ninety five, And I,
like brother, I was like the eleventh

197
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,120
guy in Japan to use the barbed
wire bad. If I'm gonna sue Nigan,

198
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:56,120
I'm gonna have to stand in back
of a long line. Because they

199
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,240
liked that wild stuff and they respected
it. And that was the difference at

200
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,080
the time, is that you didn't
have a feeling like people weren't watching you

201
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:09,360
or you know, looking down at
you. It was considered a really respectable

202
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,240
form of wrestling in Japan. Did
you would you ask somebody about like,

203
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:18,320
oo does this hurt? Or were
there like besides Terry Funk, who I'm

204
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,600
sure, but were there like other
guys on the tours that would like give

205
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,440
you advice on how to like do
hardcore right. I took to it pretty

206
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:26,840
quickly. Yeah, I had Terry
there. I wasn't comfortable with the fire

207
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:31,840
stuff at all. Terry wanted to
determine into fire a fireman. That didn't

208
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,080
work out well for either of us. There's that one crazy match from January

209
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,519
tenth, nineteen ninety five, and
I look at it realistically, I'm like,

210
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,039
people do long stretches in jail for
doing what Terry and I did to

211
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:48,000
each other willingly. But if anyone
caught the last tour I did, this

212
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,200
was all me. Is my favorite
part of the show. To talk about

213
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,000
that match in front of one hundred
and fifty people, talk about bringing your

214
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:58,480
A game, and I remember Tracy
Smothers coming up to me. We were

215
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:02,840
hovered over a kerosene here because the
buildings were not heated and it was just

216
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:06,360
slightly above freezing, and he saw
the state of mind. Now this is

217
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:11,639
this is right. Sometimes I don't
even know could how I managed to survive,

218
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:15,399
let alone thrive and professional wrestling because
I didn't have any of that.

219
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:18,519
I didn't have the size, I
didn't have to build, but also I

220
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:22,120
didn't have a monster truck. I
didn't have a cool hunting dog. I

221
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:26,279
didn't hunt, I didn't fish.
To this day, I drive a minivans.

222
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,799
Some of you might know fe female
wrestler April Hunter got to know me

223
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,000
over the course of a few months, and she looked at me one day

224
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:40,200
and goes, you're an emo kid
in disguise, and maybe so, but

225
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,799
that fact, notwithstanding what I said
to Tracy Smothers that night in Guma outside

226
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:52,159
of Tokyo, will rank among the
most badass things you've ever heard, because

227
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,440
when he looked at me, goes, Cactus, there's not too many people

228
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,840
out there, promised me, you
won't do anything crazy, and I looked

229
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,320
at him like it was the most
absurd request I'd ever heard. I just

230
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,839
looked him and said, you know, I can't do that. That's badass,

231
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,880
right, that's badass. Yeah.
One last thing I did want to

232
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,440
talk about. I guess we're here
in Los Angeles a lot of celebrities like

233
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:19,000
I just at the ring about our
show. I just got to meet Sam

234
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,400
Richardson from the Detroiters, which made
me like like a little fan girl.

235
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,119
You know, I was so excited, and I just I know you've talked

236
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,960
about it. In your books.
But there's gotta be so many just different

237
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,799
we you know, I know people
look at us as wrestlers on this,

238
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:36,839
so it's like who do we look
up to as wrestlers? And I'm sure

239
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:41,559
there's actors and singers, so many
different categories that you've probably interacted with.

240
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,039
I don't know if anyone sparks right, oh well, you know I've talked

241
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:48,200
about Tory Amos right until you guys
were tired of it. But her music

242
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,599
really inspired me. But a lot
of people along the way, some people

243
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:55,920
I've seen in venues, you know, that were no more filled than this,

244
00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:59,839
given their heart out, and I
just I like that. I really

245
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:04,079
like people are passionate about what they
do. I would say the strangest meeting

246
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:11,200
I've ever had is with Beyonce.
So so I was brought in by the

247
00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:15,200
Nets to do something with their mascot, you know, and my back was

248
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:18,359
killing me. I've got like two
and a half courts of analgesic bomb on

249
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,599
my lower back just to try to
closeline the mascot. And because I was

250
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,839
a VIP, I got to go
in the back and jay Z it was

251
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:30,680
one of the Nets owners. And
if there was ever. I had my

252
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,119
oldest son, Duey with me and
he was probably eighteen at the time.

253
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:40,519
Jay Z is the first rapper I've
seen to not be a pro wrestling fan.

254
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:42,319
You know what bothers me is I
think he was a wrestling fan and

255
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,839
he wouldn't put me over in front
of my side. But here's the thing.

256
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,960
I know what it's like to be
brushed off rudely. I can tell

257
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,640
when someone's looking for any reason to
get out of the conversation. And Beyonce

258
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,720
was totally invested for like the ninety
seconds we shared together. So but she

259
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,759
is absolutely every bit as beautiful as
you've imagined and seen her. Hey,

260
00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:06,519
the shows are ad free over on
Patreon, but I'm gonna take a quick

261
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:10,480
break and then we'll be back.
Did anybody see the Super Bowl this year

262
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:15,920
with Rihanna? Did anybody see Bill
Goldberg's reaction to Rihanna's performance? Hey?

263
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:19,160
Was Bill was a little angry,
right, He thought it was inappropriate.

264
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,440
And I was asked what I thought
if I was angry at Rihanna, and

265
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,920
I thought, now, this he's
like going back to the Sandman being drunk

266
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,039
at a show. You don't get
mad at the Sandman for doing what he

267
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,400
does and being who he is.
You get mad at the promoter who booked

268
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,759
him to be who he is and
what. So as my thing, I

269
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:47,759
was like, if you don't want
an act that gropes, they're junk,

270
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:52,119
don't book and act who gropes they're
drunk, whether it's male or female.

271
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,480
Right, And it brings up But
you know what, when I heard about

272
00:19:56,519 --> 00:19:59,319
that, I instantly was brought back
to a moment in time. This is

273
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,480
one of my favorite moments as a
wrestler and the best moment I've ever shared

274
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:10,599
with a true legend in our business
talking about nature boy Rick Flair, Who

275
00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:19,240
I do that pretty well? Right? Who? So I was doing a

276
00:20:19,279 --> 00:20:25,000
benefit show for Hurricane Helms back when
Hurricane nearly lost his foot many years ago,

277
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,720
seven eight, nine years ago.
So I was doing a benefit show

278
00:20:27,839 --> 00:20:32,000
in Charlotte, and out of respect
for Rick, he was the first person

279
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:33,839
I called. I figured, I'm
gonna invite Rick. He's going to turn

280
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,960
it down. At least I did
the respectful thing, and I said,

281
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:40,359
Rick, it's Bick Foley. You'd
like to know if you'd like to be

282
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,799
my guest at my show for Hurricane
Helps. He goes absolutely, brother,

283
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:47,519
I said okay, and then Rick
not only came to the show, but

284
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:51,680
he lined up media for us in
Charlotte's sins. He's the man in Charlotte,

285
00:20:51,759 --> 00:20:55,200
not just the man everywhere else,
the man in Charlotte. And right

286
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:57,680
before Rick and Guy, I go
on, we're supposed to see the winner

287
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:03,400
of a local talent show. Who's
a ten year old kid who has won

288
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,640
with his Michael Jackson impression. And
I have not worked this out with the

289
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,279
sound guy yet, but I'm gonna
see if he can begin the beat of

290
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:25,279
Billy Jean. WHOA. The guy
starts doing his thing, and he was

291
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,799
good, And after about fifteen seconds
he went with his hand when I would

292
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,319
preferred to not go at his hand, and I look at Rick, and

293
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,240
Rick looks at me, and then
I look at the kids parents and they're

294
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,519
continuing to dance as if nothing else
is going on. I'm fifteen seconds later

295
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:48,200
that he had reached down and he
grabs himself a hearty handful and holds it

296
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:52,000
there. Nature boy, Rick Flair, greatest wrestler has ever been, turns

297
00:21:52,039 --> 00:22:00,119
to me and goes, he's really
got a handful there, brother, WHOA?

298
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,799
And if you can imagine the scene. Here's a ten year old kid

299
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:11,920
playing with his penis while his parents
applaud him and tapped their feet, while

300
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:15,920
the greatest champion of all time and
the hardcore legend who supposedly hate each other

301
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,039
are doubled over laughing so hard Rick
stot tears streaming down his face. It

302
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,519
was a bonding moment like no other. So that's what I thought when I

303
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:30,519
saw Rihanna do her thing. There
you go. You got a pretty good

304
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:33,440
Rick Flair's story out of it,
too. Right. Also, I don't

305
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,400
know if anybody knew this, but
Mick unreal Rick Flair impersonation, it's not

306
00:22:38,519 --> 00:22:44,880
bad, right, wonder I only
have like four voices, My bench is

307
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,880
pretty good. My Terry Funk is
really good. Can I can I give

308
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:55,160
them just a little Terry Funk or
you want to lead me in another direction?

309
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,920
No, no, I was.
I was thinking about my improv skills

310
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,200
here, and I would Okay,
I'm a young would you like me to

311
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,960
come into anything and let's say I'm
a young wrestler, you're Terry Funk.

312
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,599
Would you like just know this is
Terry Funk. After that match in Japan,

313
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:11,640
after the January tenth one in front
of one hundred and fifty people,

314
00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:17,039
proudest I've ever been because of the
lengths we were willing to go to try

315
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:19,359
to put that little promotion on the
map because they had their media there.

316
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:23,119
Do you want me to play mcfoley
and you're Terry Funk? Yeah sure,

317
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,279
yeah, sure, So the deal
is okay, all right, So imagine

318
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:30,319
Colt is mc foley badly torn.
I mean, I remember coming home and

319
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,519
going to the doctor on Long Island. He looked at me and said,

320
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,680
I've heard about these type of injuries
in prison breaks because of the barbed wire.

321
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,640
When it's over, it's eighteen nineteen
minutes long. I breathed this huge

322
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,640
sigh of relief. I lost.
So that's what I do. I'm good

323
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,759
at it too. I'm mc foley, and I lose matches. But I

324
00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:57,559
breathed this deep sigh of relief.
And then I hear this noise I won't

325
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:02,000
refer to as a voice because I
didn't identify it readily as a voice.

326
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:07,599
At first, it went coctus,
so I didn't respond. It was like

327
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,319
a voice in the wind. I
just went until I heard it again.

328
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:23,680
Coctus, Coctus, where are you, Terry, I'm right here. I

329
00:24:23,759 --> 00:24:29,039
was a little less mellow than that, sorry, and he starts yelling out

330
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:34,119
respect, respect as we crawled towards
each other. There's only one hundred and

331
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,519
fifty fans, all of them in
winter coats, and they part like it's

332
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:44,480
the Red Sea, like it's some
type of superpower, you know, convention.

333
00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:48,000
And I get up there and he
goes respect, and we pulled each

334
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,599
other up by our broken, beating, bleeding bodies, and I sank that

335
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,319
hug in like yeah. And then
I heard Terry whisper in my ear.

336
00:24:57,799 --> 00:25:03,880
I gotta tell you the hundred if
the fans, they applauded so politely and

337
00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:08,400
sincerely, and then he was like
a perfect ending to the hardest match I've

338
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,599
ever had. And then I hear
him whisper in my ear. Pile Drive

339
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:25,319
me what pile? Drive me?
Cactus? Who was I to disobey Terry

340
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:30,599
Funk? So I turned the fable
Funker upside down, trouve him head first.

341
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,519
That cold gymnasium floor and the greatest
thing about it. And I believe

342
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:41,319
that it's not proper to disparage people
because of their skin, gender, sexual

343
00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:47,160
orientation, you name it. But
it is okay to point out differences in

344
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:53,079
our cultures if they're positive. Japanese
fans do tend to respond in unison only

345
00:25:53,160 --> 00:26:00,240
seconds earlier they've been happy in unison
and went whoa. And when I while

346
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:04,359
drove Terry funk, I had trouble
saying pile drove right, those fans turned

347
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:11,039
on me in a heartbeat and went, oh, but that was one of

348
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:14,519
the best nights of my life.
Nobody. Here's something I'm gonna tell you.

349
00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:18,799
I don't want to cross into DDP
motivational territory, but I will tell

350
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:22,640
you this, my friends, WrestleMania
moments are not just about wrestling. They're

351
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,200
about lives. My life, could
slife, your life. And the cool

352
00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:33,200
thing about WrestleMania moments you get to
decide for yourself what they are. It's

353
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,680
not dictated to you by the size
of the crowd or your spot on the

354
00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:40,759
card. And if I say,
wrestling in front of one hundred and fifty

355
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:44,880
people and a cold little gymnasium was
every bit as important as appearing in front

356
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,279
of one hundred that one thousand at
Mania, She's gotta trust me. I've

357
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:53,079
been there, brother, so that
would be my Terry Funk Story shows their

358
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,960
ad free over on Patreon. But
I'm going to take a quick break and

359
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,359
then we'll be back. Hey,
you want to take a few questions,

360
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,640
maybe six questions? I know Micky, Jameson and Ago. All right,

361
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,559
hold on, come over here.
What's your name? Were you from?

362
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,759
Gurge? From Sacramento? From Sacramento? All right? My question for you,

363
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,079
and I hope you've never been asked
this before. Did hurt? No,

364
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,039
I'm not gonna I've seen your live
show. I'm not gonna ask that

365
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:23,720
cult mentioned Dominic de Nugee. You
started with Shane Douglas. What was that

366
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:27,880
brotherhood like? From the time you
guys trained for the next twenty years.

367
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,240
It always surprised people. Shane and
I were such great friends because we were

368
00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:38,079
really a lot different, but we
complimented each other perfectly in the ring,

369
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:45,440
like we were having like state of
the arc independent matches by the standards of

370
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,720
the mid to late eighties. You
know, you could you you could go

371
00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:53,480
and you could steal a show by
having a pretty good match. You really

372
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:57,000
could. Yeah, there were some
bad there was some bad talent out there.

373
00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:03,799
Uh, And now, brother almost
everybody can go if they're getting booked

374
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:07,200
regularly. You guys really have a
treat, you know. I know some

375
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,960
people get down on the aw shows
or the raw show or smackdowns, like

376
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:18,880
were you watching from the Allentown Convention
Center in eighty three or you didn't even

377
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,519
see the slightest inkling of a competitive
match. So I think the talent has

378
00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:29,160
gotten so much better. But Shane
and I pushed each other. Shane found

379
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,799
out that I was, you know, sleeping in my car or at a

380
00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:36,960
fourteen dollars motel, and so every
Saturday night would stay with Shane and his

381
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:40,279
mom. I really owe him a
lot. I don't think either of us

382
00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:44,720
would have gotten to the big time
without each other. And so that's why

383
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,720
again he's Shane wasn't in great standing
with WW when I was inducted ten years

384
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,759
ago, but I specifically went out
of my way to mention him as one

385
00:28:52,759 --> 00:28:56,799
of the guys who had the biggest
impacts on my career. So thanks for

386
00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:00,720
the question, Thank you. And
I just feel like that time, like

387
00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:03,519
Shane Douglas did like an amazing drop
kick and Melzer was like five stars.

388
00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:07,440
You're so right about that, and
you have to think about it, and

389
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,519
I don't want to speak for Mick, but like Mick was so ahead,

390
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:15,559
like Mick and Samboo of just like
those shows were so dull, like watching

391
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,640
back, you know, and then
these Mick and Taboo and some of these

392
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,240
wrestlers are standing out and it's just
like, holy fuck, different level Mick

393
00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:25,920
for sure. Hey, you know, I just saw Saboo today and he

394
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,960
admonished me for calling him terry.
But I'll tell you what, brother,

395
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:36,079
I came back after four years of
not wrestling in two thousand and four,

396
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,000
teamed up with the Rock, and
I thought I gave him. I thought

397
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
I gave an underwhelming performance. I
did. I was. I was playing

398
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,599
it safe, I really was.
I was playing not to suck, and

399
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,640
that's not how you achieve greatness.
And so I really went back to the

400
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,680
well to try to get that eye
of the Tiger. And the match I

401
00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:56,079
watched, or the matches I watched
more than the others, were the independent

402
00:29:56,119 --> 00:30:00,960
matches I had with Saboo, and
I would look get the stuff we did,

403
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,640
and I would say, holy shit, we were earning our money out

404
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,640
there. And it was seeing how
much I was putting into those things that

405
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,160
made me feel like I had a
lot more to give when I had a

406
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,480
chance to wrestle Randy Orton, And
if you guys liked that match, which

407
00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:21,640
I did, you can credit the
inspiration behind those independent matches I did with

408
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,519
Sabou. Very cool, very cool. This guy over here, I had

409
00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:27,119
a question. Let me know your
name. Where you're from, Josh from

410
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:30,359
Phoenix, Arizona. All right,
all right, Josh, what's your question?

411
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,519
Hey Mick, I'm a big fan
of your new pod. Fully,

412
00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:37,519
it's pot thank you. Yeah,
show of hands. If anyone knows I

413
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:41,240
have a podcast, Okay, show
of hands. If anybody's actually listening to

414
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:47,640
my podcast, it's no art of
wrestling, my friends. I just want

415
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,440
to know what it was like now
that you dipped your foot into the podcasting

416
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,400
game. What it's like to share
some of these stories that you've never shared

417
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,119
before in the podcast. Yeah.
Yeah, Well it's a different type of

418
00:30:56,119 --> 00:30:59,240
setting because you're not so much entertaining
as you are. You know, I'm

419
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:02,119
pointing, Ah, I'm talking to
you, guys. I'm putting a little

420
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:06,839
little bizaz on it. I do. I like Conrad Thompson a lot.

421
00:31:07,319 --> 00:31:11,960
It's so easy because they do all
the research and I just have to call

422
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:17,079
on my You know powers of memory, which I'm are surprisingly good. So

423
00:31:17,119 --> 00:31:18,480
there are some matches I don't know
if you're the same way Colt, where

424
00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:22,400
there's only so much you can store
in your brain. So we tend to

425
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,759
remember the matches that went really well
and the ones that did not go well

426
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:30,160
at all. And if it was
a really good match or a really bad

427
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,000
match, chances are got some memories
of it. If it's somewhere in the

428
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:37,079
middle. And there are hundreds and
hundreds of matches I have no recollection of,

429
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,720
not because they were bad, but
just because they were okay, or

430
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:47,319
like something sparked, there was something
that weirdly sticks in your brain like this,

431
00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:51,599
like xicw had the greatest pizza.
You know what I'm saying. It's

432
00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:55,640
not like I remember wrestling for xIC
Dotty really Yeah, Like there's weird things

433
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,319
that why you remember a match,
right, Yeah, and the weird So

434
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,640
for that example, I think the
weird thing is so good or it was

435
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,960
so bad. Yeah, that's those
other weird things. Yeah, Nick,

436
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,200
Buena Park, California, MiG big
Fan, I think you have the greatest

437
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,720
spot in wrestling history. Question.
Who do you think has the best it

438
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,559
factor in all of wrestling, awww
man wherever in all of wrestling, oh

439
00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:23,079
Man, but besides Cold Cabana.
Obviously, considering I might one day want

440
00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:25,119
to go back to work for him, I have to give the nod to

441
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:31,480
Triple h H. I'm joking,
guys, Jesus, he could have it.

442
00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:34,799
He did have it, but I
was like, oh my god,

443
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:42,359
oh I will, I will.
I'm not above pandering or a potential job

444
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,440
down the road. Well, there's
so many people at the Factor. I'm

445
00:32:45,599 --> 00:32:47,599
thinking of Becky Lynch right off the
top of my head. You know,

446
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,680
people would just jump out at you, and uh, you know that the

447
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,119
women are doing such an amazing job. I saw Charlotte flairback stage. I

448
00:32:57,119 --> 00:33:00,559
could not believe how ripped she was. Right, I took off my shirt

449
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:07,480
and we got into a pose down
right there was this guy had a question,

450
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,200
this is two more and then two
more? Yeah, what's your name?

451
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,640
Way from? My name is Isaiah. I'm from San Antonio, Texas.

452
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,079
Uh, I'm a big fan of
the Dudelove character. I just had

453
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:20,559
good questions. You're the one.
I mean, I'm I'm a Vintace T

454
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,599
shirt collector. The Dudelove tea is
like one of my most prized possessions.

455
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:30,079
I just had a question about the
Dudelove character as far as any memories that

456
00:33:30,119 --> 00:33:34,039
you had about Well, you know, Dudelove came to life in San Antonio

457
00:33:34,519 --> 00:33:37,720
at Freeman Coliseum, and that was
a really great moment. I think when

458
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:43,319
my wife came running out as one
of the dude ats and did things to

459
00:33:43,359 --> 00:33:45,440
me in the middle of that ring
that would have gotten us canceled in an

460
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:51,319
earlier future incarnation. That was a
lot of fun. And I'll tell you

461
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:54,160
what, Dude was always the one
I dismissed, and I forgot how to

462
00:33:54,319 --> 00:33:57,200
do it. For a while,
I forgot how to be the dude,

463
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,200
to the point where when I was
doing thank you videos for the Santa Claus

464
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:06,400
documentary that we put together in twenty
fourteen, I was doing it as dude

465
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,440
and I actually stopped and I said, I sound like Dusty Rhodes. I've

466
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,119
forgotten to be dude. But last
year, I guess by going back two

467
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:19,079
years little over Tiers, when I
appeared on Most Wanted Treasures, they wanted

468
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:22,199
me to do some stuff in character, and so I put those things on

469
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:27,599
and I slowly felt it coming back
to me and now as little as I

470
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:30,800
liked being dude love when I actually
was dude love. Brother, you order

471
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:37,519
a cameo video for me and he
will entertain you. He got one.

472
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,679
Did I sing him a song?
Oh man? I'm like, oh man,

473
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,559
I maybe I'm letting people down.
I only have seventeen different birthday songs,

474
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:50,000
which is sixteen more than most people
have. Right, all right?

475
00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:52,599
What more? What's your name?
Where you from? Hey? My name

476
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:54,880
is Lavan, So I'm from Los
Angeles, born and raised. Thank you

477

479
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,840
Um. We love you. By
the way. One of our favorite WrestleMania

480
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:15,679
matches is your match with Edge at
WrestleMania twenty two. At the point that

481
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,119
you were at when you had that
match, Like, what's something that you

482
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,920
learned from that match? If I'm
sure you did. I don't want to

483
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,360
say like if anything, but like, is there anything that you could think

484
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,800
of off the toime? Yeah?
I learned that seventeen years ago. I

485
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,480
was still being still capable of having
a good match as long as you put

486
00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:37,440
me in the ring with the best
wrestler in the world. I can be

487
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:40,519
carried my friends, or at least
I could. Then you know what I'm

488
00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:45,000
gonna do. Raise your hands if
you have the slightest modicum of respect for

489
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:49,800
me, Okay, if you want
to keep it that way, all close

490
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,360
your eyes while I clumsily walk off
that stage. I kid you not.

491
00:35:53,519 --> 00:35:57,880
When I see an incline of about
eight inches, I get more frightened than

492
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,360
I was being thrown off the cell
by the undertake. Here the count of

493
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,440

and Mick Foley up on the stage. We're gonna take one more quick,

496
00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:29,800

I can send you stickers every month
and write your address and give you a

500
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,039
fun nickname. And I try to
do a different nickname every single month.

501
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,599
It's hard with some of those people
who have been belonging for like two years

The ones who have been from with me

513
00:37:37,679 --> 00:37:40,360
for a little of the time.
There's a lot of you who have been

514
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,239
with me for a long long time. Speaking of long time podcasts, go

515
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:50,519
check me out. I'm Never Not
Funny, one of the original comedy podcasts.

516
00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:52,760
I did it while in Los Angeles
with comedian Jimmy Pardo. He knows

517
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:58,679
nothing about wrestling. Alright. One
of my favorites a very very special podcast

518
00:37:58,679 --> 00:38:02,519
appearance for me check myself, Willow
Nightingale and Orange Cassidy and RJ City,

519
00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:07,199
I'm the Best Show with Tom Sharpling
and again check out wrestling Anonymous. All

520
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,519
right, this has been the art
of wrestling for Cold Camanda. I'm Cold

521
00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:37,880
Comanda. Thanks. All right.
Here's the trick. If I do bonus

522
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:44,320
material on the back end, I
could put these commercial breaks in and then

523
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:51,280
like I make more revenue. So
let me sneak in these commercials and I

524
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,000
will put stuff in between. I
don't know how good it will be,

525
00:38:53,519 --> 00:38:58,920
but it's it is content. But
this is just like a nice fun way

526
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,000
of me. He get in some
commercials, you know, and it's on

527
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:05,239
the back end. What do you
care? So listen to the commercials or

528
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:10,199
don't listen whatever. This is a
This is a classic business move your podcast,

529
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:15,199
Hustler, Cold Combata. Before all
that, I want to bring up

530
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:21,760
a person who is not only a
dear friend, mentor hero, uh,

531
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:28,280
pioneer, uh the an absolute legend
and anything he ever decides to do,

532
00:39:28,679 --> 00:39:37,159
I'm gonna call him the podfather a
professional wrestling and I'm talking about cold Cabanta.

533
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:42,000
Come grab Mike number two. You're
gonna be may second for a minute.

534
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,920
Everybody, turn it on, turn
it on, don't break it.

535
00:39:47,159 --> 00:39:51,639
Literally, yeah, he broke it. I think I did. Know.

536
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,599
Hey, all right, hello everybody, I'm gonna ask you no, I

537
00:39:55,679 --> 00:40:00,320
think this should be your job.
Mega Ran as the teacher here, I'm

538
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:07,079
gonna get everybody to take five big
steps forward. There go. That was

539
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:12,920
great. Look at that. If
you're in fist bump range, then you

540
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,039
are in maximum enjoyment range. So
you folks up top have loss, but

541
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,719
at your comfortability, at your comfortability. But we want to make this as

542
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,400
a very intimate, very fun thing
and give it up. Mega Rand's gonna

543
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,159
be hanging out all night. So
give it up from Mega Ran. He

544
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:31,320
is amazing. Nerd Core Ran.
We have a man in a suit.

545
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,920
I thought for sure you owned this
place, but nope. Okay, okay,

546
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:42,719
these two guys nice, nice,
very nice. So we have kind

547
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,840
of a mixture here of myself and
another guest I'm about to bring up,

548
00:40:45,039 --> 00:40:50,079
and I guess we want to put
it under the guys of a podcast that

549
00:40:50,199 --> 00:40:53,400
I used to do and I still
do occasionally which is the art of wrestling,

550
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,840
a podcast that went from for many
years. So I'm gonna kind of

551
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,800
start it off a little bit as
I am recording it, and then I

552
00:41:00,199 --> 00:41:02,159
bring on a friend and we will
kind of start talking about wrestling, and

553
00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:06,519
it's gonna be really fun. So
uh and on the count of three,

554
00:41:06,519 --> 00:41:08,320
can I get you start making some
noise and I will fake pretend to come

555
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:15,079
on to a stage. I think
at this time I'm gonna invite Mega Ran

556
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:20,719
on stage. Is that correct?
Let's give it up from Mega Ran.

557
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,480
Everybody, Um, that was great. Oh I'm loud, okay, so

558
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:30,440
let be so hot. You're so
hot, very hot. That was awesome.

559
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:32,159
Oh my, all those great stories. Man, that was super cool,

560
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:37,519
unbelievable. I know we have I
think this is my time to parts.

561
00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:39,360
Is that? Do you have any
clue? I be the only one

562
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:44,760
that knows is Michael from High Spots. Let me see, uh my fifteen,

563
00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:46,480
it's probably your time. I don't
know. I think it is my

564
00:41:46,559 --> 00:41:50,239
time. I'm gonna hang out a
little bit. I do have some much

565
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,440
somebody did steal too microL rollers in
my words? Uh if I if we

566
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,960
all close our eyes and chant folly
and someone puts them back, I would

567
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,360
appreciate it. But if not,
I guess you stole yourself. Some cards

568
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:07,360
and micropowlievable congratulations. Um wow,
I could go. I could interrogate every

569
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:12,320
single one of you. I'm thinking
about it. Lock the doors. We're

570
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,599
getting some answers. The man just
cheers me like it was me. It

00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:21,840

is my time. We have so many

572
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,159
great acts coming up stars from professional
wrestling. It's a fun night. I

573
00:42:25,199 --> 00:42:30,559
do encourage everybody to grab a drink, have a good time, enjoy yourself,

574
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,280
make some new friends. We're all
wrestling fans. That's most importantly.

575
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,880
Introduce yourself to somebody and tell them
and ask them who their favorite wrestler is

576
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:42,679
about that that's cool. Who's your
favorite I'm gonna say, yeah, my

would jump off that balcony, but that
