  Speaker 3: right down here. That's those lonely boys and me and
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Steve Austin all the way to top. You can barely
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: see Steve because of the darkness up there. But Austin
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: and I were living together. And that's me and Humperdinck
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and P.S. Hayes when I was managing the Freebirds. It
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: was me and Humperdinck at the same time. That's me
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: and Bruce Springsteen. There's another picture of me and Bam
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Bam and Springsteen here from another time. Me and Nash
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and Kid when I believe someone was going into Hall
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: of Fame. I'm not sure about that. This one's pretty good.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Can you see this one over here? Yeah. That's Flair
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: with his haircut and his son. They did a haircut.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: They lost the match, so they shaved his head.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, in the WCW.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is Malone and me. And Malone, he
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: came to the house show when we were in Salt
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Lake City. It was just a house show, but he
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: slid in and hit a couple diamond gutters. This was great.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Garth Brooks at the top, my buddy Bad Hammer. Can
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you see over here with my hand? That's me and Piper.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Me and Piper got so close after wrestling. We were
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: buddies before. And we hung out occasionally when we wrestled.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: But afterwards, we got so close. And he was so
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: moved about what I was doing with Jake. He was
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: so moved. I never thought in a million years that Piper,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: you know, I never thought he would die that young.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: You know, when you really look at it, and you've
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: got to look at the resurrection of Jake the Snake,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: which is on Amazon Prime if you want to see
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: that journey. But Jake Roberts has outlived Mach. Piper, Hall, Warrior,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: and Hogan.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: It's crazy.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Who would ever have thought that? But he's back with
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: his wife. He's back with Cheryl.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: He's doing all the conventions.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: That's phenomenal.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Two signings a weekend.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all the time. It's unbelievable. That's me and Goldberg
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: screwing around, doing something. Me and P.S. Hayes, who is
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: one of my super boys. This is Bo Jackson. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I was at an Auburn game. And this is 97.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: So Diamond Dallas Page is the most overused ever going
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: to be. And I go out there and I'm going
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: out on the field because I'm connected. Kimberly used to
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: go to school there. So I'm out on the frigging
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: field and the people immediately GDP. And I just threw
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it up and they started a wave of diamond cutters
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: that went around. It was crazy. So Aubie's up on the,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Aubie the tiger, right? He's up on this little stand,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: you know, the mascot, one of their mascots. So I
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: jump up there and Aubie goes, throw it up. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: throw it up and I grab Aubie's big ass head.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I go, you're going down, bro. I take it down. Boom!
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: He hit his head. I don't know if you know
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: anything about mascots, but when they lose their head, they
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: lose their mind. It's like you can't lose the head.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: It's a big no-no.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Well, we're up about maybe five feet, and when we hit...
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: It was raining before, so boom, the water splashes. His
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: head goes off and takes off into the people. He goes,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: my head, my head, my head. He runs and gets
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: his head. And then he's going, oh, my God. DDP
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: chipped my tooth. DDP chipped my tooth. And my buddy
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Smokey walks up and goes, we got to get out
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: of here right now. But he was pumped that he
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: got his tooth broken. with a diving gun. It was
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: basically because the head came back and smacked the shit
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: out of him. So I'm coming up to the booth
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: and go back into the booth where my buddies are at.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: And they say, hey, Bo Jackson wants to meet you.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I'm like, wants to meet me? So I go down
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: and meet him. And you can see when he's walking
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: up from down the little seated area with his boxes,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: as he's moving, You can just see the muscles ripple
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: like he's a Tyrannosaurus or something, right?
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: It was crazy.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: This is me and Hayes. Somebody drew that of me
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and Hayes and Jimmy. Got me and Austin screwed around.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: A bunch of pictures we got together. I say to Hulk,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I'm walking and I go, Hulk, let's do a selfie.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: And he throws up the diving cutter.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's awesome.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: He was really good to me, man, in so many ways.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: This is me and Bruno. And I was going to
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: be his stand-in, right? You'll love this. This is the
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: very first Russell. It wasn't called Russell Kahn. Sal, I
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: can't remember Sal's last name, Cornette. He's going to kill me.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: You'll find out. I can't remember his last name. Sal Cor...
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Italian name. Fill it with an Italian name there. But
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: great guy. Great guy. Sal was the guy. Corrente. Sal Corrente.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: He was the guy who thought of the WrestleCon before
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: there was any cons at all. Right. Dusty and I
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: were the headliners. I was with it. You know, because
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I was also going to, they put us on ESPN,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: me and Bruno, you know, to promote the event. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: no one had ever done anything like this. And it
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: was in Tampa where Dusty was a god. You know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I was really over there strong as well, but not
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: like the Dream. And Dream taught me something about shit
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: way back then. He said, first of all, you don't
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: do shit. Until you get half your money. That's right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Then you make sure, then you'll pencil the date in.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: He goes, when you get to the building, they give
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: you your money right then in cash or you leave.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: That's right, baby.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: These are card owner rules, it sounds like.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: And as it turned out, I think Dream was getting
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: like 7,000 or something. I can't imagine what he would
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: be making today.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Because there's that elite group of guys that were Flair
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: and Hulk and the guys who were at that level
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: over that time. And really, if you look at Flair
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: and Rick and Hulk, That's as high as it got, right?
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And I just can't imagine it, man. It was just
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit too shy on that. But here's one
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: of my favorite pictures of... Oh, so it's around the
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: front here. Hold on a second here. I was looking
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Are you showing the picture of me and you? Which
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: one are you showing?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: It's up there. I made the wall. You made it?
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: You made the wall. But there's so many of them,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I don't remember where it is. I don't remember where
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: the fuck it is. It's here somewhere. Here is me
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: and Dusty having some beers, smoking a cigar. Yeah, we're
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: fucking lovely. And there's Clint Eastwood there. There's Jake the
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Snake Roberts there. Me and Kevin Nash at one of
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: my Christmas parties and Kimberly Kiss all doing the diamond
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: cutter side. There's Bruce Willis over there. I was one
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: of the celebrities, the minor celebrities at an event we
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: were at. And I walked up to Bruce and I said, Bruce,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: can I get a picture? And he looks up at me.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: And Bruce is only like maybe a buck 75. It's
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: not like he's 215 or anything. And he looks up
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: at me and he goes, like, I'm going to say
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: no to you.
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: And he got up.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: And then that's me and Snoop. And over there is
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Bon Jovi. And I know Johnny Bon Jovi. So I
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: was like, he was like 15 or 16 years old.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: But you're in here, Matty, somewhere.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: I know, I know, I know.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: We believe you are. You've seen it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that room is awesome because you have a lot
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: of your, not only the photos with your friends on display,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: but a lot of your memorabilia and collectibles. And I
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: appreciate that you appreciate the stuff that has been made
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: of you over your illustrious career.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, a hundred percent. You know, I never knew that
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: they gave out hall of fame belts. That's pretty damn cool. Right?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Say what?
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: That got shipped to you.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's shipped. It's shipped. And they, and of course
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: they put their thing and that was the first time
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I'd ever even seen that. Now here's a really cool
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: memorabilia over here that this is, I don't know where
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the fuck. What country this is in. Yeah.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: But this is all of us, and we're scratch-off tickets.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Ali threw up the diving cutter's eye with me. God-bringin'
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Malone and Barkley got a great story about Kenny Norton.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Look at this piece right here.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: That's sick.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: This is a card strip.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, uncut sheet.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Right? A sheet. There you go. Goldberg, me, Motch, Sting, Hulk, Nash, Conan, Brett, Giant, Luger.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was a tippity top of the top there.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And then as we get into this room here, that's
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: more like this. I love this thing right here. This piece,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: because it's got like everybody from those eras on it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And where is this one picture? That someone drew that one.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: This is one of my favorite pictures ever of me
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: and perfect. Yeah. The fact that then you've got the figure.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Let's go.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Do you think you have everything?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: No, but I've got a lot. I've got a lot.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to tell you, one of the things,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: this is one of the biggest, coolest things, where we
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: talk to each other, me and Sting, and cut promos
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: on each other, right? The little Levery and Banner thing.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: This is that accumulation of stuff. So this was something
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: that was pained for me when I went into Hall
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: of Fame. Is that cool or what?
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: That's Hall of Fame.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the... If you look at, what is this?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Most improved wrestler of the year. If you look at
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: that group of guys, that's very rarely does someone not
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: make it into like your tippity top. And then this
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: is a stamp. Like, and it's all on the stamp
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: that people can do Santa Claus. Yeah. The day that
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I get to meet Ali, I got to tell you
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: that story. This is really classic. So the day that
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I meet Ali, I'm super freaking pumped up, man, because
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I'm Mickety Mark for him. I'm getting up at 530
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: in the morning because I'm going to catch this plane early.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Because I'm not going to sign until two or three o'clock.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: But he's signing like at nine. So man, I got
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: to get there. I got to be waiting there to
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: meet them and see how it looks at least talked
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: over five minutes. Right. So I get on the plane,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: so going to get in around maybe 11 o'clock or
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: something like that. Oh my God. We're stuck on the
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: tarmac and I'm not going anywhere. This lasts for a
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: little over two hours. So by the time I get
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: to the building, I'm sure he ain't going to be here.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: He ain't going to be here. So I run to
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: the green room. Look at, I mean, Jabbar was there.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Frigging James Worthy was there. Frigging the Rocket was there.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, Chipper Jones. I mean, everybody who was anybody
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: was there. It was the biggest one of the most
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: talent I've ever seen. And I just, he's not there.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I'm like, fuck. And I hear, damn. I turn around
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: and swear to God, Zali. And he goes, come here.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: And as I'm walking up to him, he says, or
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: I should say he calls, lock up.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Holy shit.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Holy shit. Right. Like Ali. And the only reason that
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: I don't have this picture with Ali, cause I've met
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: him like two, two times. Yeah. Three times after that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: But I forgot every time to do this. But that
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: day I was running. You guys remember Kenny Norton?
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: He actually beat Ali one time. You know what I mean?
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: He was a bad motherfucker boy. So yeah. I'm running
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: because I want to catch him before he leaves. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: as I come around the corner, he's running and we
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: run right into each other. And I'm like, Teddy, he goes,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: did he pee? I go, God, I can't believe you
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: know me. He goes, yes, of course I do, man.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: He goes, I'm late. I was coming over here to
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: meet you because I heard you're over here, but I'm
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: late for a flight. He goes, let's take a picture.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Let's do that diamond cutter thing you do. His hand
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: goes up. My hand goes up. That's the first time
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I ever did that with anybody. That's cool.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Were you always conscious of taking these photos or collecting
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: your stuff? Or is this stuff you've gathered later in
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: your career where you're like, oh, shit, I've lived a
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: pretty incredible life. I should hold on to some of
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: these things? Or are you just always thinking that way?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Because, like, as I went on this run, and you've
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: got to see this picture from here again, because this is...
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I knew Bon Jovi when he was no one, like
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: 15 years old. And I never got any pictures, but
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: that's me and him. And I've got a picture of
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: him at the beginning of a tour on my stuff
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: and at the end of a tour. And I guess
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I have no idea where that one
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: is either. But... There's so many of them in here.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Like you can see it's there. So, uh, their magazine
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: covers are all that shit, but I was glad it happened,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: but he, I didn't have any pictures back when he,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: like I have pictures with Teddy swims and he's no one.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: He's just starting to take off on YouTube. And I
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: meet him at, um, Dominique Wilkins' 60th birthday party. So there's,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: as I walk in, they said dress to impress. So
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: me and Paige, my daughter, Brittany, my buddy, Josh, like
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: we're all decked out. And we walked into, they weren't
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: like shorts and flip-flops, but nobody was dressed up. And
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I'd rather always be overdressed than underdressed. But Teddy is,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: At that time, you guys all know who Teddy Swims is, right?
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just met him. He was backstage at TNA.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: I just met him recently, actually.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's great, great. What town was that in, Atlanta? Nashville.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Of course, Nashville. Yeah, that's where he's at now. But
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: so Teddy freaking sees me, and he goes, no one
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: else is going to sell this? He goes, I will. Oh,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: my God. You know, I'm not worthy. And he tells
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: me that Dominique– would listen to Teddy and loved his voice.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: And one of the guys, his personal assistant, realized that
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Teddy lived in Conyers, which is like 30 minutes from
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: where Dominique lives. They said, well, send him an email.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I want him to play at my party. So that's
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: how he gets booked. That's how he said, will you listen?
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Will you come out and listen when I play? I'm like, absolutely. So, oh, wow.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: And then we start partying, start drinking tequila and shit.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: And I realized that this cat, the only one that
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: can fuck this up is him. And how many guys?
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just entertainment in general. But when you're
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: the band coming into town and you're the party, you know,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: it takes a different life and it's hard not to frigging,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: you know, be get in that mode and be drinking
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: and that whole thing. I said, bro, you have a
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: gift that I know, you know, you have, but it's
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: just starting to take off for you. You know, we
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: meet him, he would come up here and work out
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: with me like all the time. There's, there's literally workouts
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: that are on DDP yoga. That's got Teddy swims, Paul,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Walter Hauser. We all know Paul is that right? He's like,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: he's like the actor of your generation. Like he's one
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: of the best actors on the planet, but you also
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: see Ron breaker in there and Darby Allen all at
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: the same time. But, uh, Teddy came up here all
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: the time. Teddy actually cross, you know, he's all tatted
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: up everywhere, but, uh, On his calf, he's got Mr.

  Speaker 3: got DDP holding his foot over his head.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: What?
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: As a character. Yeah, really funny, really funny.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: So, DDP, this is the major wrestling figure podcast. Off air,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: we were talking about how now the collectibles have exploded,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and like- you're still getting merchandise to this day. Like,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: how does that feel to get still to this day, 2026,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: get brand new stuff.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: I just got 70 years old.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: You just sent me this new Funko pop came out
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: this year. Like how crazy is that for you?
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: You know, dude, this year I, there's no, I think
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: it's might be four different figures, but I know this one,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: which I love the NWO one. Oh my God. And
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: this one, And it was that nitro series. They had
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: me in jeans and they had me in the black tights. Yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: There was like four different ones. Like this is how
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: I explain wrestling now. And my wife is the one
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: who made me really realize it. Cause I was talking
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: about it. She goes, I love the way you explain that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: And what I said is, first of all, there was
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: a woman, this is a black woman from the forties
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: and her name was, she was a poet. Her name
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: was Maya Angelou. And one of my favorite quotes by
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: her is, they may not remember what you said. They
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: may not even remember what you did. But they'll always
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: remember the way you made them feel. That's what wrestling is.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Because you know, as performers, we get out there. you know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: in front of 20,000 people before we walk out there,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I know that they know, and they know that I know,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: and I know that they know that I know that
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: both of us know who's going to win before we
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: walk out there. Like, think about that. How do you
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: make them care? That's the secret.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: And some guys get it. Some guys don't. Some guys
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: get it. And they still hold you down. That's what
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: happened with me the whole beginning. When my shit was
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: starting to get over, they would not push it at all.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: So I did. And.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: There was a time when I was talking to Broski
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: there years ago. And I said, it reminds me of
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: what was happening in your career is what happened with mine.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Like you got yourself over like incredibly, like the, the
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: bottom line is if you, if you don't do it,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: if you don't think that you can be there, nobody,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: nobody will ever see it. So you got to believe
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: it more than anybody times a thousand. So making the
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: people care. And that's when Diamond Dallas Page stopped trying,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: or I should say when Page Joseph Falkenberg, I knew
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: that name was never going to draw any money in
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: the world of professional wrestling. When Paige Joseph Falkenberg stopped
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: being Diamond Dallas Paige or trying to be this bigger
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: than life over the top wrestling persona. When Paige Joseph
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Falkenberg stopped trying to be Diamond Dallas Paige and Diamond
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Dallas Paige started taking on the characteristics of Paige Joseph Falkenberg. Bang.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: That's when my career took off like a rocket. And
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: people really begin to care because in real life and
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Scott Hall used to say it all the time. You're
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: not a heel. You're a baby face. It's who you are.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: It's like, you just want to exaggerate that. So when
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: that took off because of Scott and Kev, you know,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: cause all that happened, it got people to care at
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: a different level. And it's kind of like Santa Claus,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: you know, like if you're in a room of eight
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: year olds and there's frigging six or seven parents, Everybody
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: believes in Santa Claus, everyone. But when you're not, we
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: all know it's a work, but maybe it's just the
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: belief part. And so that a woman, this woman, Maya Angelou,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: was a Black woman in the 40s and 50s, who
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: was quoted over and over and over again. Think about that,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: because you know how Black people were treated in this
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: country was fucked up, you know, for the longest time,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: really bad. And she still had a voice, because quotes
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: like that in her poems, they freaking really resonated with people.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: They remember the way you made them feel. So the
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: fact that There's four different action figures this year, and
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: they don't use me on anything. Yesterday, they came and
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: filmed with me for a bunch of the shows, but
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: they don't bring me in or do shit with me
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: because they can say that it has nothing to do
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: with being from WCW. Yeah. But it does. But it does.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: And you're not going to fucking say that to me. No,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: there is that little bit of heat that goes with it.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: But I'm good with it. I love being a part
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: of the crew and being able to come back and
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: see the shows and whatever. But it's really incredible to me.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: When I do signings, man, that line is long. That's right.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: And that people... care that much. And they wait because
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: I don't rush anyone. And I tell whoever's booking me,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not expensive like Shawn Michaels or those guys. But,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: you know. but I'm expensive, you know, for that top
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: tier guy that will go out, you know, like a
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Kevin Nash or Mick Foley, you know, um, that will
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: go out and do the shows. And I don't do
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: that many of them. Uh, but I do like, I'm
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: doing this show in, in, uh, in, um, Houston on
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: a third thing, second, third, I think whatever the weekend is, uh,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: in Houston in October, the first weekend, uh, But I'm
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: mainly doing it because I'm going to go get to
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: see Nash. We'll go out to dinner and we'll get
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: to hang out. That's the only time I'll get to
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: do that with him, you know? Brodsky goes everywhere for Nobu.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: That's why he goes everywhere.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he has a Nobu Brodsky. Is there, you know,
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: all these figures throughout the years, is there a time
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: period of your career that they haven't encapsulated in an
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: actual figure yet that you would love to see?
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Yes. And the only reason I say that it was
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: such passion is because someone made one. And what they
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: did is they took my head and they put it
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: on the La Parca. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: crazy is that, right?
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: He has an agreement with AAA now, and that could
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: be a reality, actually.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: That could be a reality.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Put that out into the universe.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: I got everything. And that's the key to everything. Throwing
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: it in the universe. This one guy made me a figure.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Here it is right here. I got to bring this
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: to you. This is a guy from England who sent
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: me this figure. and made of the combination of, okay?
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: So it's got my head, right?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: And you've got somebody in a tank top and put
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: DDP Yoga on it. He's wearing the power cups.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Holy shit.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: The shorts are the other broski. God, Tim, excuse my–
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: The fighter, UFC fighter. Oh, Matt Riddle. Matt Riddle. How
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: can I forget Matt Riddle? I love Matt Riddle. That's
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: why he's barefoot. Yeah, that's why he's barefoot. And he's
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: got the deal. But that blew my mind. And this
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: guy was at my mom's. She passed about eight months ago.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: But she had that one. And now listen to this.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: My dad left this planet about a year before that.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: And my dad had like a shrine, like made me
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: look like I don't have shit in this place. It was,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: it was just smaller. It would be all this shit
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: in a, in a room, you know, in one room
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: instead of three. But, um, I told Sally, I said,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I called my sister and I said, Sal, I said,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I know you cleaned up all the stuff. dads, blah, blah, blah.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I said, send me my vest back. You know, the
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: leather vest. Everything was like, like padded. So it was
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: like 3D effect. The vest was like three grand, you know,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: back then. Today it'd be more like seven probably. I mean,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: it was beautiful. And I had two of them. And
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I told my dad, I said, as long as you're here,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: it's yours. I said, when you're not, send it. I'm
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: going to make sure I get it back. You're not
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: going to send it back, but send it back.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: That's something I would do.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: So my sister goes, oh, no, I gave that to mommy. Now,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: if my mom wanted it. hang up or have your
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: part of her shit. No, my mom was a flea
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: market queen. No, she loved the flea market and she
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: had so much shit. She would always ask him for
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: more stuff. And any of your friends tell him I want,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: cause I go, mom, you've got plenty of money. You
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: don't need to do this, but what it was and
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: people lose this. And this is why people get old
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: and they just hate life. She had no purpose. That
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: was her purpose. Like this flea market, she's going to
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: sell more this week than you did last week. And
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: so I would sign shirts for her and pictures and
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: she'd sell them too. And so I go, mom, I go,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: can you do me a favor? Can you send me
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: that vest back? She goes, oh no, I sold it.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Oh no, ma, ma, ma.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Please don't tell me you sold that fucking vest for $ 20.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: She goes, no, I got 400. I go, 400? Those
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: collectors would pay 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 for that vest. Well,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I didn't know. And what are you going to do?
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Yell at your mother?
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Plus now you can, people would photo match that and
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: it could be worth even more. you know, depending on
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: where you wore it and what you accomplished.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, dude. Yeah. That was, that was, that vest
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I wore for years because it was, it was so cool.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: And the lightning bolts that went through it and eventually
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: you made tights around that too. But I'll tell you
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: the one guy who really got it, I'm sure you
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: guys got this too, but Cody Rhodes, cause you know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: he wears something different all the time. Yeah. You know,
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: And even when he wasn't making the money, he still
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: was investing in that to keep. And I don't know
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: if he'll ever sell any of that shit, you know,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: but he must have millions of dollars, you know, in stuff. Yeah.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Nobody really thought about that back then. You know, why
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: would you, you'll want you. And then I did, I did, uh,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: I did one of the auctions with one of the guys,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: and he's like, why are you selling this stuff so fast?
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I go, it's worth that, blah, blah, blah. I didn't
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: realize the value that it was. I still had a
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: great day on that, and I pulled a bunch of
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: stuff out of here, but boy, I wish I had
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: to sell it now. I still have some stuff. But
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: I have a lot of stuff that's like old figures
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: and stuff that are in boxes that I will see
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: what kind of condition it's in. But I just pulled out.

  Speaker 3: is this? Like, it hit me so hard. I got
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: up and jacked him into the wall. I go, what
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: the fuck did you just give me? He goes, it's
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: just really good. It's just really good. He goes, take
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: some breaths here. You're going to be fine. It's going
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: to settle. It's going to be amazing. I was like, whoa.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: And I thought, that shit could own me. And I
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: never did it again. And I can remember as a
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: kid watching Mercury Morris, who was, you know, one of
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: the halfback for the undefeated Miami Dolphins. And he was
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: doing PSAs about how drugs can ruin your life because
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: he was just getting out of jail and lost everything
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: because of the drugs. And I'm thinking, bullshit. And then
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: I tasted that shit and I was like, oh, I
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: get it now.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: We grew up with those take the snake, say no
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: to drug ads in our WWF.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, big, big time, you know? So back to Robbie,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Robbie and I partied, like we dragged, we, we had
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: a great time. So that year he tells me, Hey,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: I made you one of the action figures. Are you serious?
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: He goes, yeah. He goes, don't say anything right now.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: It's going to come out on clutter. Cause all the
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: other guys were top guys.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: And then, so that's that figure, but you know, when
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: that comes out.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Is my career start to explore.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: It was like perfect time because it's a year long process.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: So when he started this, you're growing on television, you know, your,
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: your stock.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Crazy, man. There was a figure to go with me.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: And then the following year, I go with Hulk. And
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: now there's all these.
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, we got those. Let's put those up, D.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. Exactly. And I have some of these. So
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I will be selling some of these on whatnot. I
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: will be doing that. And just like pictures would be
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: in Hulk. Like, I don't know if someone wants it,
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: but you're a huge Hulk fan. and you're a huge
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: DDP fan, you got to have that picture. Yeah. At
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: least I can sign it. You know what I mean? Yeah.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: And so I'm going to put all these pictures together.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Some things I'm keeping, like, but, you know, a lot
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: of it, it's got to go because it's not going
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: to go at all. This is one of my favorite
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: pictures ever. What a group right there, huh?
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: Is this at Toy Fair promoting the new stuff?
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: You know, I think the Hulk's holding, remember the one
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I showed you where he had his stamps?
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: That's what Hulk's holding on to. I got another really
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: cool picture of Stinger in the same thing, because that's
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: what we're doing. We're doing the... Oh, wow.
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Hard Rock Cafe. Hey, New York. Look, that's what it
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: says in the background. Hard Rock Cafe.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right. Hard Rock.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Harley Davidson Cafe, maybe.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Harley Davidson.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Something like that.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Let me see. Harley, is it? Yes, Harley Davidson Cafe.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: That ad about to save shelf life is the Nitro Cafe.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Holy.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: We got some more weird figures. Some weird ones, some
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: good ones. What's the next one we got, D?
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Dude.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: That's a big deal to get a buddy.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: There's only four of us. When the original ones came out,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: and I was one of them. Let go of my nose.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Let go of my arm. You're getting banged. Ding, ding, ding, ding. So,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: What you guys don't know is that when I negotiated
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: my contract for 97 and 98, what you don't know
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: is that I'm at maybe the middle of the card.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: And Bischoff's super tight with me, but he would not
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: let he would not give me the money he would
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: he would not favor me like when they when he
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: inducted me in the hall of fame he was like
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: that dallas he held he helped me get my job
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: meaning the job he has which i got great stories
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: about one but he said but when he working for
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: me because we were so close he had to work
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: twice as hard now i had to work five times
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: harder to get and i had to be so resilient
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: and persistent and, and just like to a certain degree,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: just be so over the top that I can do this.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: So this whole run that I do in 97, 98,
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: I got paid two 50 and two 75 for the years.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: And everybody else was making millions, but I didn't, I didn't,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I didn't give a fuck. Because I was living the
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: dream on such a level, like, fuck it, that's more
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: important to have actually got there and broke through eight
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: of the most over guys on the planet.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, 100%.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like, the only guys we didn't have was Austin
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: and Taker and Sean. That's the only guys we didn't have.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: But to be able to break through that and I
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: get this figures check at Christmas. Now, my new contract's
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: about to kick in, and I'm waiting to see what
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: that number's going to be because I know it's going
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: to be, it's like hitting the lottery every two weeks
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: when you're at that level, like a really good lottery.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: And I got that check, though, before it was for $ 99, 000. Oh,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: my God. Kim screamed, oh my God. She goes, get
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: up here, look at this. And I just see 99,000.
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: Toy biz money right there.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. So that guy's one of my favorite guys.
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: That had to be a big leap. He went from
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: a career that had virtually no merch to an overload
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: of merch. It's unbelievable.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: And that's one of the things. When I left to
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: go to WWF, I will say WWE on their TV,
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: but it was, we all know it was WWF. When
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: I left to go there, they wouldn't, our company wouldn't
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: let you leave unless you took 50 cents on the dollar. Well,
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: me and Nash and what you're talking about had a
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: lawsuit with Turner on merchandise because we would see shit
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: like I have never been paid a dime for that.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: A bowling ball?
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: A fucking bowling ball. And I'm like, where's the money
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: on this? Because we were in leagues, you know?
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: We were in bowling leagues.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Everywhere. And so me and, it was 12 of us.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Goldberg was a part of it. Booker was a part
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: of it. Steiner was a part of it. We were
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: all suing Turner, but little by little, they'd skated out
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: of it. And for me, we'll give you 70 cents
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: on the dollar if you drop the lawsuit. Nash was
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: the only one. And I don't know how much he
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: signed for, the NDA on that, but it was a
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: lot of money. And if I would have listened to
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Kevin Nash, I left $ 487, 000 on the table. $ 478, 000. But
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking that's my base. Freaking Steve told me what
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: kind of money he's made. I'm going to roll right
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: into the main event on this shit. I'm going to
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: make like $ 3 or $ 4 million. Who gives a fuck
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: about the downside?
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, man.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: I didn't know the heat I had walking in there.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: And it was everybody from the company, you know, and
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: it was funny because Steve, well, he lived with me,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: you know, and he saw me work at DDP yoga,
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: the same way I worked at wrestling. And he would
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: tell me like, kid, I don't want to see you
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: wasting all this money. You're never going to get people
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: who wouldn't be caught dead doing yoga to do fucking yoga.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: He hated seeing me lose that. But again, vision. People
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: who say, I believe it when I see it, never
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: see shit. People who say, I believe it because I
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: see it. Those are the game changers. And those are
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: the relentless ones. And those are the ones who make it.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: And you got to get through a lot of shit,
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: as you all know, to get to that frigging spot. But,
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: you know, Austin being there and, you know, living with me.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: So now he's living in, you know, got a place
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: living with his girl and, And so he's doing that podcast,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: but he's doing it with not with the company. He's
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: doing it with some other guy. He's one of the
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: first podcasters and he could have been incredibly large in
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: that venue, but he just didn't want to do it anymore.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: But he did it forever. And I was probably on
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: the show like 20 times because I was his constant
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: fill-in if someone didn't get a guest. So I was
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: there for him to do shit. So he never asked
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: me this question until the company does it with him, right?
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: And the company built him this beautiful studio out of
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: his ranch, which is unbelievable. And they flew me out there.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: And the first question he asked me, He says, so
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: when you guys came with the whole invasion thing, did
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: you guys realize the heat you guys had? And I'm like,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: fuck no. I would never have come. Why would I
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: do that? Why would I do that? You know, so yeah, I,
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: I had a great moment. I had a bunch of
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: great moments on, uh, Takers on Takers podcast and got
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: to do LGF with him. And as you can imagine,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: coming off of that in the beginning, I just kept
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: my mouth shut and just breathe through it. I knew
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: this too shall pass. And at some point, take it
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: pulled me over one of the manias or something. He goes, Hey,
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: I just want you to know, I watched resurrection the
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: other day. He goes, you really are a good dude.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: And that like opened up the volley of us talking and,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: and I would say becoming friends. Like, like he's, I
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: consider one of my buddies and I did LGF with him.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: We had such a great time and that did his podcast.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: And he put me over like a son of a bitch, man.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: Like I was, I was really, it made me feel
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: so good that he, he never heard any of the
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: stories and he loved hearing them. And then we get
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: to the part where he says, so now we got
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: to talk about the WWE. And I just started laughing.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: I went, go ahead, bro. I'm going to go wherever
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: you go. And he said, I got to be honest.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: He goes, you know, I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: exactly how he said it. But he said, you know,
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of people accuse me of trying to ruin
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: your career. And he says, don't they know? I didn't
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: book that. And I could see the frustration. I put
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: my hand on his arm. I go, bro, we're good.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: I go, we're good, bro. Let me tell you the
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: good thing, the positive thing that came out of that.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: And the positive thing that came out of that, you
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: can't be afraid to walk away from the table. When
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: you know you've got something they want, whoever they are,
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: you got to get, if it doesn't seem right, if
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: there's any inkling that that's not going to work out
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: the way you want it to, it's going to take
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: you away from your vision, get up and walk away
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: from the table. Because I told Vince McMahon that me and, uh, uh,
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: the rock, the people's champ versus people champ. I told
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: him that idea and he come in the way I
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: did it, man. It was, you guys will appreciate this.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: So frigging, I meet rock at a show. Cause I
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: go to the show in Canada, WWE, they're doing a show.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Then we have a pay-per-view the next day. And, um,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: Pat Patterson who saw me on the plane. I say, Pat,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: I'd love to come by and say hello to Big Show.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: You know, I kind of raised him in this business.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: I've worked with him because that's the only thing I
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: did with me. I was down at the power plant
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: because they weren't using me. And that's why I kept
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: getting a little bit better and a little bit better
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: and a little bit better. Because I was constantly teaching
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: other guys. And the more you teach, the more you learn.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: So I said, me and show you know we're super
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: tight and he's like yeah sure come on by when
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: i walk backstage and you know you all know you
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: don't go to other companies show unless you're looking for
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: a job right i just signed a multi-million dollar three-year
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: deal i mean i got paid and i still had
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: two plus years on it and i I bring in, uh,
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: when Pat sees me, he's like, Oh, let me get
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: you right out of the big shows booth. And he,
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: he did. And he was like the one before the intermission, the,
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: you know, the main event, cause he was a champ
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: at the time. And, but we stayed and watch and watch.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: I wanted to see what the rock, how he performed
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: in front of a house show. And then after we're
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: getting ready to leave and he goes, you want to
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: meet The Rock? I said, yeah, I'd love to meet him.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: So we walk in that, you know, do you remember
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: how big the dressing rooms are where the Blue Jays play?
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: They're fucking huge, right? The locker rooms that they have.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: And he goes, hey, Rock, you still here? And you
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: can hear him from the shower going, yeah, I'm taking
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: a shower. He goes, great. I got some huge Mark
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: who's dying to meet you. So I don't know why
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: I said it, but I said, I said, yeah. And
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: I want to meet you and let you're all soaked
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: up like the business naked and soaked up like the
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Michelin man. He sticks his head out. You know, when you,
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: you hear somebody's voice, but not here. Like, where do
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: I know that voice from? And he stuck his head
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: around the corner and he goes, Oh, diamond. I'll be
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: right out. Go take your time, man. So he comes out.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: He's sitting there. He's got the mullet sideburns at those times.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: You know, he's on that rocket. It hasn't really taken
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: off yet, but it's about to. And so I said,
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: you know, I said, Jake Roberts told me when, because
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: he was booking at the time in 96 when rock
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: came in and he says, Jake, I said, Jake called
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: me up and he said, where do you see this
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: kid Rocky my Viet? He goes, he's so good looking.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to fight him or
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: fuck him. And he's like, that sounds like something Jake
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: would say. I said, you know, he said, he said
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: you were going to be one of the top guys
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: in the business, man. Way back then. I said, he
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: said the same thing about to me in 1993. He goes,
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: it's somewhere down the line. You're going to be one
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: of the biggest names in the business. He said the
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: same thing about Austin, you know, back when he was
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: the ring bearer. And he said, he said, just, you know,
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: just keep doing, as long as you guys keep doing
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: what you're doing, that's what's going to happen. And Rock
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: was like, well, he's always had a great eye for talent.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: And so I said, you know, I saw you doing
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: an interview, but it wasn't on the wrestling show. It was,
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Entertainment Tonight or whatever the show was.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: You were doing some interview and you were being this guy,
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: which is being himself, right?
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: I go.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: And then you broke into the rock this and the
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: rock that. And then you went back to this guy.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: And then you went back to the rock this and
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: rock that. I go, that shit was really entertaining. I
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: can't wait to see what happens with your career. So
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: we're walking down the hall. And we're just about to
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: get out the door. And I hear, hey, Diamond. And
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: I turn and look my head over his shoulder. And
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Rock is putting on one of those $ 1, 500 Versace shirts.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: And you can see he's rolling in the character. You
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: can see it's coming. And he says, you know, Diamond,
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: there's only one people's champion. Big Show's like, oh! And
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: I just deadpanned him. I was like, you know, Rock,
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: you're right. And you, oh, you, my friend, you're looking
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: at him.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: Watch out the door.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: So Big Show's like, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh,
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: my God. You just stopped him. Nobody stops him. So
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: we went out and got so fucked up that night.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: I come to Kimberly. She's asleep, right? She's like, leave
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: me alone. I go, I don't want to fuck you.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you I'm going to show up
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: at the WWF. And she goes, what? I want to
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: tell you, I'm going to show up and you're up
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: in New York. And she's like, what are you talking about?
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: You just signed a multi-million dollar deal. I go, when
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: I'm done, I'm ending in a WWF. And she goes, what?
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: What is it? I go, they're going to black out
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: the whole building. Everybody's going to think it's Jericho. I go,
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: but then 15, 30 seconds go by and nothing happens.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: And you hear Jim Ross go, we're having a little
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: bit of technical difficulty. Just bear with us, people. And
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: then in a blacked out arena, you hear my voice say,
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: who's the real people's champion? Spotlight. You're looking at them. Bang! Explosions.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: I go, Rock, and I actually said this to her,
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: Rock will be injured. He'll be out. He might be
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: doing a movie. I don't know, but he won't be there.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: At the time, he's filming Scorpion King. Everything I said
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: was right on task. It was the first time, and
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: you all know this, when you're trying to make Vince
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: McMahon feel like you want to be a team player.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: You know, you give up yourself and you give up
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: yourself and you give up yourself. So I let it go.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: And I let them set me up on an angle
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: that was never going to work. And first of all,
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: the very first thing you have me doing, first of all,
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: saying I'm famous, I've been on the line seven times.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Make me famous. You know?
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know which word famous you can be in that.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: In our world. But that's what I... If WCW brought
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: this idea to me, I'd go, are you fucking crazy?
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: I'd go, what? I've been on Leno seven times. What
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: the fuck do I have to be famous about? I've
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: been on the show. Not just part of this shit.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: I go, and then they had me run away when
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Tate ran in. And people were in Tampa. They're like,
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: you don't run. You run into the fire. And that's right. Oh, boy,
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: this is probably a bad idea. And I decided to
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: go all in on it and just play the role.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: It pissed off so many WCW fans that they stopped
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: watching wrestling. They just stopped watching. And that's the unique
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: thing about our business over that period. And yeah, I
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: don't think anybody could ever catch them again because they
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: are such the juggernaut, but you never say never.
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: It's one of those great wrestling. What ifs like if
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: egos were set aside and they had all the players
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: there at the same time, like what the invasion really.
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. Could have been.
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: Could have been.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: You've always stayed. You've always stayed so positive about everything.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: You're such an inspiration to me and so many other people,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: but we've got a couple of minutes left.
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: Tell everyone about what you do.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: I think everyone and their mother knows about DDP.
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: Why? Because of DDP yoga. I I'm pretty sure I'm
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: my parents' second favorite wrestler.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: So many of our fans, we have a major fitness challenge.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: So many of our fans use it, but tell the
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: people who might not know about it. I think everyone
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: in the world knows about it by now, but.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: You know, I think every single wrestling fan knows. And
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: they'll be so funny because they'll be like, if I
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: do a signing, you know, they'll be like, you know
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: what I mean? You get to that DDP yoga. Well,
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: now I gave them a card, which you can't get
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: this on my website. It's seven days free to try it.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: But if you get, if you come and you get
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: a picture with me, you know, autograph, a combo, whatever
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: it is, I give you the card that gives you
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: 30 days free. And then I'll challenge them. And a
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: lot of people come because to my autographs, a lot
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: of them are for courts or wrestling fans, but a
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: lot of them aren't. They've just been inspired. And then
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: they watch these videos one after another and they, The
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: way I see it, it's like what we've created is
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: something that could really last forever, long after I'm gone.
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: And one of the things I've been doing recently, do
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: you guys know what fascia even is? Do you know
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: what it is? Muscles. Fascia is, think of a chicken,
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: and you pull the skin off the chicken because you
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: want to get rid of the fat, right? You want
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: to pull the skin off. And there's like a film,
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: you pick that up, and it's like another, like a
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: layer of super, super, super thin, and it's called fascia.
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: And it covers every one of your muscles. It's a
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: collagen that literally links together And it's really like as
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: you get older and you beat your body up, and
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: if you don't hydrate the fascia and its movements that
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: really get you to hydrate it, that you get stiffer
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: and stiffer and stiffer. It's not your muscles. It's the
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: tendons and the ligaments which are wrapped in fascia that start...
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: to tighten up. So what I'm doing, and I'm going
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: to start doing, I've been working on this for six
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: months on how to mix fascia movements into DDP yoga
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: to give you all in one And the very first
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: thing you do and how I do it, how I
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: will start all my workouts with this, anything that's new
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: that comes out will open with this, what I call
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: DDPY Unwind. And that's the working title. I'm not positive
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: we're going to call it that, those workouts. But I
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: will start out, even though it's I'm doing DDP yoga
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: through 90% of it, I will start with this because
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: it's the best thing ever. I've ever seen that makes
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: a difference completely immediately. And again, everybody wants more mobility.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: You don't want to bend over and go, Oh fuck.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: So the bottom line is, is it's, I'm constantly recreating
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: something that worked in its infancy and it healed me.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: So I don't ever bring anybody anything until it starts
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: to heal me. And again, 70 is, is the number
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: and I'm not training for 75. I'm training for 85, 95, 105.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: Like that's to me, the magic number to break the hundred.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: Cause guys don't to where as big as I am.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: So I, It's all about staying mobile. I got friends
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: of mine who are in their late 80s, but they're miserable.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: They want to die because they feel they're so beat up.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: And my dad was like that. He was so beat
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: up and he wanted to die. He really didn't want
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: to kill himself, but he wanted to die. He didn't
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: want to be around anymore. He lived in a chair.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: The sitting in the chair is the new smoking. Yeah,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: that's really where it comes from. So go to ddpyoga.com.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: The power cups that we've got going on, that to me,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: and you know, Matt, I've taken you through this before.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: They were crazy.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: What a pump.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: And I would never have lifted heavyweight except for once
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: a month to see what my heavyweights were. I would
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: train with power cups the whole time. And then, okay,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: let me see where my bench is still at. Let
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: me see where my pull downs are at. Where am
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: I still as strong? Well, I know guys who I
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: put on the 90 day challenge and they're stronger at
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: the end. So that's the challenge you would be. And
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: Cardona with your body, ain't you got a great body.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: You should be using them. All the time.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: And just lift heavy once a month and then see.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: Why would you want to continue to tear up your joints?
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Because that's what you're doing when you lift heavy.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: I just tore my tricep, not from weights, but it's
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: from the wear and tear, from the wrestling. I probably
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: should have been doing that fascia thing.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, that, that, and the power cups. You're coming
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: back from the tricep. Give me 90 days. What do
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: you have to lose? You can't lift heavy with that
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: arm anyway. I know. Yeah, you're right. I'm going to
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: send you the protocol. And if you call me back,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: I'll lead you through it. And your body, you won't
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: have one arm smaller than the other. That's what happens.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: I got to come down to the new beach house.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're more than welcome to. I'm going to be
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: there in September for a couple of weeks and in October.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: Last time I came to your crib, we had some
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: great breakfast, great dinners.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he wasn't going to leave. He wasn't going to
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: live there.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: But I told you, come down with your wife, man.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: She can find any time. I know they use her
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: But.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: and it's, it's, it's phenomenal just to put her over, man,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: what she's done with her career, man. And just being
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: that inner, she's just entertaining, you know, and a lot
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: of people aren't, a lot of people are, but she
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: sure is. Uh, so the, um, let's get back together with,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be doing, uh, my first one with
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: my buddy, Tony, he's going to come down here and
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: do his first, um, What's it called? Whatnot. And anybody
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: who wants this guy. Let's go to Diamond Downs. Oh, yeah. Yes, baby.

  Speaker 3: diamonds studded up, man. Let's have a bunch of fun

• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: I would say it's incredible. Entertaining. Yeah.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: It's incredible. We talked about all your wrestling accomplishments, all
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 5: this merchandise you have, and you've been enshrined, you know,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: in pro wrestling history. But I think at the end
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: of the day, you'll be remembered for things behind the
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: scenes and what you've done for the boys and the
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: business and keeping everybody healthy and the longevity is just
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: truly incredible. So thank you for that, man.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Bob. I appreciate that. But I just got
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: back from Germany and the UK. I mean, the people,
