I remember Primo debuts like he's on Raw 196 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:00.840 and then all of a sudden comes to SmackDown. We 197 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.360 do uh impromptu like match and we lose. 198 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.519 Okay, I have another poun memory about this day, and 199 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.799 this might spark remember for you that day. Originally we're 200 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.480 the tag champs and on SmackDown we're supposed to like 201 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:18.679 squash like Funaki and like Jimmy Yang or something like 202 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.360 a straight up squash match like run through these dudes. 203 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.159 That was that when they come out of the first meeting, 204 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:26.840 that's what it was. We started putting together. They come 205 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.279 out of the next me and they're like, oh no, 206 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.960 Primo's gonna debut with Carlito wasn't doing anything. 207 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.080 Carlor was never on the show. 208 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.000 He had been drafted, like in the previous night, he 209 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.720 had never been on his hair. They like made him 210 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.679 take the bread the braids out. He never wore those 211 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.399 on TV. He went back to like old school Carlito. 212 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.399 And they're like they're putting them together and they're beating 213 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:45.720 you guys in a tag match, and we were like, 214 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.960 exqueeze me baking powder. We were like, what, like just 215 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.320 it's just then, But that's honestly, that's like one of 216 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.039 the first times that happened to us in WW But 217 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.240 if if you work there, you know that's like, so 218 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:56.080 that's typical. 219 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:57.440 Yeah, so typical. 220 00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.360 So that's what happened, and we had a match with them, 221 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:01.320 and they they're great, They are awesome workers and so 222 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.720 fun to work with. Both both those guys are tremendous 223 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.759 and so we just did that. We put them over 224 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.120 non title. The following week we have uh Carle Leader's 225 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.519 Cabana and Freddie Prince Junior wrote the segment I remember, 226 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:15.559 and he was really pumped. 227 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.000 He said, like, everyone did a great job. 228 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:19.120 And then we had the title match following week and 229 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.840 we lose, and that it's basically it for us. 230 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.639 Yes, now when you say that, what do you mean 231 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:26.120 by that? 232 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:27.320 What do you do? 233 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.080 Never a period that we're doing this episode. 234 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.879 This is like October September, September October this time period 235 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.440 right now September of two thousand and eight. 236 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.000 And then for the next year through two thousand. 237 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.200 No no week then, so then it's we're still being 238 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.200 brought to TV and I don't know. 239 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.519 They never tell us it's over. Really, I mean, we 240 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.120 had this weird thing where they did. 241 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.679 But remember I remember one of us. I believe it's you. 242 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.720 You're supposed to wrestle kung fu naky, either in a 243 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.559 dark match or a segue match. A segway match is 244 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.600 e CW used to be taped after SmackDown or before SmackDown, 245 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.720 depending on where it was in the you know, in 246 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.600 the country with the time zones. So like while they're 247 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.080 switching the aprons and stuff like that, they would have 248 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.799 a match just like go on there as they're like 249 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:18.480 switching the fucking aprons. 250 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:19.759 It was meeting. 251 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.000 It was just so like the people had something to 252 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.120 watch besides the crew switching the aprons. 253 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.120 Yeah, weird, but nowadays they just do it. 254 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:29.720 Do it so quick. There's a video. 255 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.440 They play videos. Yeah, just play videos, you don't need matches. Yeah. 256 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:38.600 So I remember Johnny Ace tells us that either somewhere 257 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.279 we're gonna meet with Vince, like today, so whoa okay, 258 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.440 So I just remember sitting outside his office like forever, 259 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:49.000 and everybody like walking by and asked, like what we're doing, 260 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.399 because like everyone knows that you're sitting outside Vince's office. 261 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.480 I always hated that feeling, even like when you're doing 262 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.559 it like on your own, you know, like whatever. We 263 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.679 finally go in and you might remember but this differently 264 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.159 than I do. But I long story short. I remember 265 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.399 him saying, like, you guys are done as a team, 266 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.240 and we're gonna do things with you individually, and we're 267 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.679 gonna bring you both to Stanford and come up with 268 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.480 new ideas for you guys as single stars. And it 269 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.960 wasn't like it wasn't a negative necessarily. 270 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.799 Not being a bad talk at all, just like we 271 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.399 think it's run its course as a team and we're 272 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:25.679 gonna slit you up and see what you can do 273 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:29.559 as as singles wrestlers. That's all right, so cool, like 274 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:31.360 at least we know what's going on. That sounds great, 275 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.039 and then that just never ever happens. 276 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.600 Never let me let me ask you a question here, 277 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:43.639 let me butt in here, Brian, you hear this?

But then like 284 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:01.679 it was hard to like sink your teeth into and 285 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.240 get those wheelspin because then you show up next week 286 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.720 and it's like, okay, you have a tag magic these 287 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.039 guys just jobbing.
