• 10:24
  Speaker 12: own and hang out and we're doing the show man.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: It was important, I think to all of us so
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that we made our book and brother, we
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: love you Orlando, all right, it makes it happen.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I gotta ask about it because we just
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: heard it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: And I don't know if I've told you guys this,
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: but sometimes like if me and Eddie are feeling like
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: sluggish at TV, we're like, oh, the hardy is about
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: to make their entrance, and we sneak up and we
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: want to just hear it because that that song and
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: obviously you guys got a big pop. It's just fucking
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: you know, it's an adrenaline rush. Did you think when
• 10:52
  Speaker 10: you first heard that song that it would become such
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: an identifiable thing with you guys? And just did you
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: think it was something that was awesome or did it
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: grow on you in time?
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I had no idea back then. I just remember hearing
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: the other our first instrumental track that we had, I
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: forget the name of it, but before loaded, and I
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: liked it a lot better than that first one. Do
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: you remember the one? It was like, yes, so yeah,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I didentify with the drums right away.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: We did.
• 11:17
  Speaker 12: We didn't have any type creative team putting a lot
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: of thought process into our music.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: I can tell you that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 12: But you know, once they put us with Michael Hayes,
• 11:23
  Speaker 12: we did have that one generic music and it was
• 11:25
  Speaker 12: like eh, and then they gave us this music which
• 11:28
  Speaker 12: is Loaded, and we're like, ah, that's better, but like
• 11:31
  Speaker 12: student drums crazy, We're like, we were like, you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 12: give us a cool rocking pearl jam song.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Oh we're still yeah. Whatever we were, we were we
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: were dreaming and thinking real big little.
• 11:43
  Speaker 12: Did we know that Loaded would become like one of
• 11:45
  Speaker 12: the most iconic wrestling entrance music's ever and uh, the.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: One thing that was thank you.
• 11:53
  Speaker 12: The one thing that was very beneficial for us is
• 11:55
  Speaker 12: like it's uncopyrightable music and it's licensed music, so like
• 11:59
  Speaker 12: it could try with different companies, which rarely ever happens
• 12:02
  Speaker 12: in pro wrestling.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Right, like lives on right.
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: I think because of that, you know, especially now, you know,
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: using it in TNA, using w B pretty eppy.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, use it the Major rustbur podcast live.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And the Orlando Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Do we have everywhere about it?
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Do we have to pay for that? Or no, We're good,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you get away with it. Okay, thank you, thank you, guys.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I have heard it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Commercials and stuff though throughout the time too.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I heard it on ghost Hunters and advertising ghost Hunters
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: one time, I was like, well, that's our music. One
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: thing I love about music though. Man, the first time
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: I heard no more words when it was pitched for
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: me to have it as my singles, uh, career elevated,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: and I just didn't like.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: It at all.
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: It was weird.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: That's what I love about music, though. The first time
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I heard it, I was like, Oh, this ain't gonna work.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I was so used to the dun but Dona. But
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: then I grew on me so much and now I
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: can imagine coming out to any other music. But that's
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: what I love about music.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: It might not hit it first, but over time it's like, whoa,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: that was perfect and totally written for me.
• 12:55
  Speaker 12: I ironically, they our music started getting over and people
• 13:00
  Speaker 12: were really into our music earlier on when we were
• 13:02
  Speaker 12: doing the Hardy Voice things, especially like you know, after
• 13:04
  Speaker 12: we did the TC matches and everything else, and we're
• 13:06
  Speaker 12: really established. But then in two thousand and three ish,
• 13:11
  Speaker 12: two thousand and two ish, maybe they actually had that
• 13:14
  Speaker 12: liver for the moment. The song I ended up using
• 13:16
  Speaker 12: as Matt Hardy version.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: One slam a Tornado Yes Live for.
• 13:20
  Speaker 12: The Moment, you know, by Monster Magnet, and they actually said, hey,
• 13:23
  Speaker 12: this is where we got it, like a very.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Song for you guys, that's personalized for you guys.
• 13:29
  Speaker 12: It's called Live for the Moments for the Hardy Boys,
• 13:30
  Speaker 12: and they played it to us and we're like, I
• 13:34
  Speaker 12: think we'd rather keep doing the Hardy's music we currently have,
• 13:36
  Speaker 12: which is loaded. And then like once we split, I
• 13:39
  Speaker 12: ended up getting it. And at first I think when
• 13:41
  Speaker 12: we heard it, we weren't that crazy about it. But
• 13:43
  Speaker 12: once I can't imagine Matt Hardy the sense they have
• 13:46
  Speaker 12: Mattitude version one without that music now because it is
• 13:48
  Speaker 12: so identifiable with like that character in that persona, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 12: it's I tried to bring that back whenever Jeff was
• 13:54
  Speaker 12: out and hurt and injured, but Vince wouldn't do it.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I think if Triple H would have been there, I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: think the man with three eighth.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Would have let it happened.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we meet kamal Hah. When we first started
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: on the road No.
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: Seven, you were singles and you come out that it
• 14:09
  Speaker 10: was one of the bigger pops of the night. I
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: always remember that, you know that it became very identifiable.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: It did, Yeah, totally identifiable for me.
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know if the TNA run would be
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: as exciting if it didn't have this identifiable music. You
• 14:21
  Speaker 9: know what I'm saying, Because it's it's just part of history.
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: It's part of wrestling history, no, no, no.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Doubt about it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 12: I mean that that music adds so much value to us,
• 14:30
  Speaker 12: you know, coming out because it also connects there's so
• 14:33
  Speaker 12: many people like I mean, we're both ancient, you know
• 14:36
  Speaker 12: what I mean. I'm over halfway to one hundred. I'm
• 14:39
  Speaker 12: just trying to stay off the box, you know what.
• 14:41
  Speaker 12: IM trying to stay alive. But the fact that we
• 14:45
  Speaker 12: have been doing this and we meet people all the
• 14:47
  Speaker 12: times that are like in their mid thirties to late thirties,
• 14:49
  Speaker 12: and now they have kids and their kids have become
• 14:52
  Speaker 12: fans of man Jeff Hardy, and it's like, oh my god,
• 14:55
  Speaker 12: this is so amazing. You know, I was a fan
• 14:57
  Speaker 12: of you as I was growing up as a child,
• 14:59
  Speaker 12: and now my kids have of you, and it's like
• 15:00
  Speaker 12: a very special bond we have.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And the thing that is kind of in common with
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: that is we have.
• 15:04
  Speaker 12: The same music, you know what I mean, thirty almost
• 15:07
  Speaker 12: thirty years later, which is why connected it is connective tissue.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I've had this idea for a long time and I've
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: been sending it out to the universe. I'm just gonna
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: send it out again right now and share with y'all.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: But when I do have a singles match, like for example,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: last week I worked Mustafa Ali and like for another
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: situation like that, when I have a singles match, I
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: got this track and it started with so it's like
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: don't don't dn't dn't dn't, don't du'n du'n dn't dun't
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: don't don't don't dunt dun't dun't cool, and it slows
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: down and then goes directly into my first ever TNA theme,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: my original song called Modest. So I'm hoping that happens
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: sometime this year.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: That'd be cool. Yeah, that's sweet. Yeah, I'm gonna talk
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: to some people and make that happen. Thank you, brother.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's half used in the office.
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: Guy like Brian was saying, the pop you get at
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: these DNA shows once that music, it's unreal. And then
• 15:59
  Speaker 9: what a lot of these don't realize that you do
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: these meet and greets after the show and you're at
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: the arena the way after midnight sign it for like
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: the harding seem like they're more over than ever.
• 16:09
  Speaker 12: It's it's crazy. I mean we are, we are blessed
• 16:11
  Speaker 12: in that capacity. I mean we did that whenever. Initially
• 16:15
  Speaker 12: when we were coming here before the whole storm was
• 16:17
  Speaker 12: set up, we were leaving like at noon, and I
• 16:18
  Speaker 12: was like, oh, we'll have a late night that night.
• 16:20
  Speaker 12: We'll be able to sleep in, maybe get in a workout,
• 16:23
  Speaker 12: and then go to the airport, travel across get to Orlando.
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: But we changed the flight after the snowstorm. And you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 12: Brian is kudos of this guy. This guy changed his flight.
• 16:33
  Speaker 12: He traveled with us. He stuck with the whole wall.
• 16:35
  Speaker 12: He probably wanted to make sure we weren't going to
• 16:37
  Speaker 12: like take off and go home. A little bit of
• 16:41
  Speaker 12: that for sure, but no, he traveled.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: With the whole wall. But I said, oh, cool, what
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: time is the light? And he's like seven am?
• 16:47
  Speaker 12: And we did the post show meet and greet and
• 16:49
  Speaker 12: it's like by the time we're getting home, it's three
• 16:51
  Speaker 12: you know what I mean. We we notoriously it's often
• 16:55
  Speaker 12: in notorious that we end up saying to like three
• 16:57
  Speaker 12: in the morning, like if we have a show, that
• 16:59
  Speaker 12: goes to like eleven and we'll do a four hour
• 17:01
  Speaker 12: maybe five hour post show meet and greet and it's crazy.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: After our match with the Dudleys at Slimmiversary, I think
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: it was right at four am and stuff. I think
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: that set the record when yeah, last human Beings in
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: line was like this eighty something year old woman that
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: waited that whole time, and it just made my day.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I mean after seeing that, and the picture was so
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: cool when she was so sweet and just so glad
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: to be there. So and I think the reason we
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: might be more over now because in the big scheme
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: of human existence, you know, our career is almost over
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: and people want to hold on for as long as
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: they can, and so do we. So we're gonna do
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: this thing until we can, you know, plain and simple.
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: I do think one thing to add a little context
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: to what he's saying. We started that post show meet
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: and greet and it was in Louiell, Massachusetts, outside of Boston.
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: We started at five till eleven. Yeah, it was five
• 17:55
  Speaker 12: to eleven and we finished at four twenty four that morning.
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: So we did that after and we were moving. We
• 18:02
  Speaker 12: were like trying to go through the line as fast
• 18:03
  Speaker 12: as possible. I do think one of the reasons we
• 18:06
  Speaker 12: have so many people that do do you want to
• 18:07
  Speaker 12: see us, and they are interesting. I think we've built
• 18:09
  Speaker 12: a lot of equity with our fans over the years.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: You guys have been on television for thirty years.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:14
  Speaker 12: But also, as Jeff said too, and he says this
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: to me, says, oh, Matt's being really patient. We really
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: we know there are a lot of people that have
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: a lot of their youth and their childhood and a
• 18:25
  Speaker 12: lot of nostallship tied into us from moments that they've
• 18:28
  Speaker 12: seen from you know, nineteen nine one or.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Two thousand and two thousand and one.
• 18:32
  Speaker 12: The fact that we want to sit there and let
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: them tell us about that experience, and we'll share back
• 18:37
  Speaker 12: with them about how we felt as fans, and I think.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: It humanizes us to some degree.
• 18:42
  Speaker 12: And I think there's a part of us that did
• 18:45
  Speaker 12: love hearing those stories because we're those same wrestling fans,
• 18:48
  Speaker 12: you know, the same people that are coming to us
• 18:50
  Speaker 12: pouring all this love and information to us. It's the
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: same thing we would do for our guys at that time.
• 18:54
  Speaker 12: And now the fact that we're able to do it,
• 18:56
  Speaker 12: and we're able to have these cool experiences with people
• 18:58
  Speaker 12: and hear their stories. I know that that's what they want,
• 19:01
  Speaker 12: you know they I love the fact that everyone always says,
• 19:04
  Speaker 12: like whenever they meet to say go like you know,
• 19:05
  Speaker 12: they say, don't meet your heroes, but meet the hardys,
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: which is cool. That's like the greatest compliment we could
• 19:09
  Speaker 12: be given. And that's something that's really important to us
• 19:12
  Speaker 12: because at the end of the day, we both know
• 19:14
  Speaker 12: that without our diehardies, well out people who have support us,
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: there would be no us. So thank you all, everyone
• 19:20
  Speaker 12: who's here tonight.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you all.

• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Art, right, so I mean up, especially Jeff.
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: Went. Jeff Went, you you altered that at some point though,
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: that wasn't always your autograph.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: It has its evolved over time, and I always like, uh,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I don't remember when it was, but that little profile
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: that I put, I just remember back in Fevrue, North Carolina,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: whatever year it was, nineteen ninety, maybe we saw Sting
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: and Flying Brian Pillman, uh leave the building and get
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: in their car. And we didn't get Stings they were
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: in such a rush, but we got Flying Brian's and
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: it was just a circle with a little bit of scrill.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: And I was like, oh my god, this is I was.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I was kind of upsells. This is not an autograph.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: That's nothing.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I think, I like, what is that?
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: And I think that's kind of had and what's in
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: like an inspired mind over the years.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: And I think he also took our pen and threw
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: it down, right.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: I think he did. He's very rude man.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: He was ready.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Wowf he was ready to get to the next town.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Brother.
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: I'm looking at someone got their chair signed by Jeff
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: right now? That is legit or the chair signed by
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: Jeff Hardy. Can you can you hold that up so
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: the people could say, hold it up, it looks beautiful.
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, turn it to the people baby. Hell yeah,
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: Like it's just it's beautiful and something. To go back
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: to what we were saying about, how you know the
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: fans have been supporting you for so many years. I
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: think it's because, you know, you know, Brian and I
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: we grew up watching you guys. But you were like
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: the first guys who were like showing that they were
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: fans too, and like did.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Backyard wrestling and made it. You know what I'm saying.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: It was like, oh shit, they can do it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: Fuck, maybe I can do it, you know, because I
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: was backyard wrestling at the time seeing you guys, Oh shit,
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: they did it, you know, and like it was so like,
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: uh relatable to me, you know, because you were fans
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: who made it, you know.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: And and I and I love that fact.
• 21:45
  Speaker 12: I loved how when we were there that was like taboo.
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: You weren't supposed to be like that in any capacity.
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: And and I love how the culture of pro wrestling
• 21:54
  Speaker 12: has changed and it has moved on from that, you
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: know what I mean. It's okay to be someone like, Hey,
• 21:58
  Speaker 12: I was a huge fan and I wrestled in my
• 22:00
  Speaker 12: backyard and I just want to emmiate what I saw
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: on TV because I loved it, or you know, even
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: the whole thing with toys and figures, just like the
• 22:07
  Speaker 12: growth you guys have done for like action figures and
• 22:09
  Speaker 12: people like making it cool.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: It's a cool hobby, it's a cool thing to collect
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and do whatever else.
• 22:14
  Speaker 12: I love that so many of those taboos have left
• 22:16
  Speaker 12: because the culture was so different.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: In the nineties, you know what I mean.
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: It was.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: It was insane, Like when.
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: We first started in ww IF I went to Target
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: and got a hardcore Holly figure and brought it into
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: the locker room.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: The autograph he shit in my bag. But take me out.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Now it's cool.
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: Everyone's cool about it, you know. And I don't blame
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: those guys because they didn't grow up with that stuff.
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: You know, they didn't grow up, you know, watching Saturday
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: Morning wrestling and then playing with the wrestling buddies and
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: playing with the figures, you know, like we all kind
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: of did.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know exactly, man, And it's the culture of
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the wrestling business.
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: We saw the worst of the worst, and I know
• 22:51
  Speaker 12: you guys got in where we're still lingering around a
• 22:54
  Speaker 12: little bit, but they still couldn't go as far as
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: they used to go. Like it was in Sandy in
• 22:59
  Speaker 12: the beginning. That's one of the things I am most
• 23:00
  Speaker 12: happy has changed in for us.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: For sure, we have some slides, but yeah, yeah you do.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You you you were a big Hardy Boys fan. Yes
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: in high school.
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: Okay, so correct me if I'm wrong. But this is
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: your first WWF catalog T shirt.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: And I made my mom order it.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: His monitors all over it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It has the tribal on the sleeve. And my freshman
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: year of high school, I wore this once a week
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: without without getting made fun of. Very proud.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: But am I right?
• 23:34
  Speaker 12: That's the first to ever Hardy Boy. Yes, that is
• 23:36
  Speaker 12: the official first Hardy Boys shirt we had. That was
• 23:39
  Speaker 12: after we were with Michael Hayes. And it's so funny
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: because Michael Hays says, hey, why and I.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Own the shirt. He wanted three extremes Mary, Michael Hayeses
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: and I was telling you guys to get ready for this.
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: I was trying to find something vintage and cool like
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: I couldn't find that to get it back, and then
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: I wound up getting this, uh will not die Matt
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: Hardy throwback. But yeah, the things I was looking into,
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: like I want. I originally wanted the basketball jersey, and
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: I could it's like four hundred plus dollars if you
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: can find it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: So I was like, that's not happening, but uh yeah,
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: and then.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: Like anything really like vintage, you know, early hardy stuff
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: was ridiculous.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that the pricing on it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 12: So I was telling him in like the motocross jersey
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: that we had back in the day, and we were
• 24:24
  Speaker 12: I remember we were the first people to kind of
• 24:26
  Speaker 12: do that like aldered stuff, because back then they just
• 24:29
  Speaker 12: kind of.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Did T shirts. It was basically a T shirt thing.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: And I remember we talked about I would wear all
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the time, and I think Jeff Wood as well.
• 24:35
  Speaker 12: We're both big Carolina Tarhill fans, you know, like I
• 24:38
  Speaker 12: was in that college system. I went to UNC Charlotte
• 24:40
  Speaker 12: for a couple of years, got my associates, and then
• 24:42
  Speaker 12: I dropped out to Chase wrestling, and I guess it
• 24:45
  Speaker 12: half ass worked, but I would.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Wear I would wear my UNC Tar Hill jersey all
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 24:50
  Speaker 12: And Jeff Wood too, And I remember the March guys
• 24:53
  Speaker 12: said those are really cool that you wear, and he said,
• 24:54
  Speaker 12: what have we made like merch like this?
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when we had those conversations.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, And I remember, like I'm still motorc also,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: supercross is my favorite sport. But I remember saying, yeah,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: what if could we do a motocross jersey?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yes? And yeah that was definitely your very cool. So
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: you guys had a lot of insight into the merch.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Even early on.
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: They would ask you back then, like what especially if
• 25:16
  Speaker 12: you became an act that would sell stuff a lot,
• 25:19
  Speaker 12: they would come to you like, hey, do you have
• 25:21
  Speaker 12: more ideas?
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Do you have more ideas?
• 25:22
  Speaker 12: They were definitely more. It just wasn't so big and
• 25:25
  Speaker 12: corporate back then, you know what I mean. It's such
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: a different beast now. It's so crazy how much it's
• 25:30
  Speaker 12: grown and expanded. But they would, they would come, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 12: it was cool because those jerseys that we would were
• 25:35
  Speaker 12: all the time that I think we thought were cool
• 25:37
  Speaker 12: and like, for some reason people thought we were cool
• 25:39
  Speaker 12: in nineteen ninety nine and two thousand and two thousand
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: and one, and it was like, hey, those jerseys aren't
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: really cool, and we're like, could you make like a
• 25:45
  Speaker 12: Hearty's jersey like this?
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And they ended up making them and they did great.
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: And the motocross jersey, I know they did that it
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: did really well, and most of our merchandise did. But
• 25:53
  Speaker 12: it's cool because I feel like we were some of
• 25:55
  Speaker 12: the early trailblazers that like released stuff that weren't just
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: tea shirts in the beginning, you know what I mean,
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: We like switched things up and tried different things, thinking
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: outside the box.
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: You guys had so much merch But it feels like
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: it took forever for them to make the Jeff armbands
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: like those.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: It took like a decade or so.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: Wait, I'm like, why are they just like people at
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: Homer Maker, these white kids.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: W Yeah, that was weird. I think it was around
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: back back in eight oh nine when I was bigger
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: than Obama.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: That's how it was.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Uh, that's how long it took to make those.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they finally came out with the they found a
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: place in Mexico or something to make them.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I have to follow this up with the story finished.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: And but yeah, and you would see those everywhere, the
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: neon green or the purple uh armsleeves. We had. It
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: took them a while.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: You're right, what what where did the arm sleeps come from? Like?
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: How is Marilyn Manson I've got this alter ego or
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: alter Nero and his name's Willow. And yeah, Willow was
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: in the my second run in TNA. Uh he emerged
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: in TNA. I'm hoping that happens again in the next
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: few years somewhere sometimes. But uh yeah. And when Marilyn
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Madsen came out with Antichrist Superstar, I just noticed we
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: were these old, ripped up pantyhose and that's kind of
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: where I got the idea. So I bought me some
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: trout women's trousers socks, and uh and I cut them
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: up and like pulled him up my arm. I Oh
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: my god, this is it.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: This is my thing.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: And uh yeah, I'm so glad I figured that out.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: You got to hit it now that you tease that,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: you got to hit a little Willow man, you gotta
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: hit your line.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we Love, we Hate, We Die forever late
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: in Willow Sway.
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: Oh yeah, I want to see if you any of
• 27:41
  Speaker 12: you guys can relate to this too. Someone asked me
• 27:43
  Speaker 12: when we were doing an independent show. It was Jason
• 27:47
  Speaker 12: Aren't Joy Abs of the Mean Stream Posse, who was
• 27:49
  Speaker 12: one of our guys who came up with us that
• 27:51
  Speaker 12: we kind of helped train and kind of forged to
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: some agree, but he was wrestling match with Jeff and
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: Jeff's Willow, and he pulled me to the side. This
• 27:58
  Speaker 12: is when we're doing OCCA, right, Hey, I gotta ask you, Matt, like,
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: when you wrestle Jeff and he's Willow, is he does
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: he feel like different?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 28:06
  Speaker 12: He's just like kind of like a different like it's
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: a different person. It's not really Jeff. It's like not
• 28:09
  Speaker 12: really lay back. And that's one thing I can say
• 28:11
  Speaker 12: about how much Jeff loves the whole Willow character. Like
• 28:14
  Speaker 12: whenever he puts on that mask and his face is
• 28:16
  Speaker 12: painted and he has everything, and when he's in ful gimmick,
• 28:19
  Speaker 12: it's like he's a different person, you know what I mean.
• 28:21
  Speaker 12: It feels like his his his whole temperament, the way
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: he acts, the way he moves is like totally a
• 28:28
  Speaker 12: different person, which I think is so impressive because he
• 28:31
  Speaker 12: gets so into it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like that, Jeff?
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. I'll share this little secret with y'all as well.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Thinking about Willow, I got a new me and my
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: oldest dawn a Ruby designed a new Willow face plate
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: like a god a couple of years ago, and I
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: finally had one made and it was just like I
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: talked about the music earlier, like the first time I
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: put it on is I don't know. This just isn't
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: in it. It's not gonna work. It don't look right,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: it don't feel right. But I just put it on
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: a few weeks ago and actually had my hair out
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: of the mask, and I really liked it. I was like, whoa,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: this is my This might be twenty twenty six Willow
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Jeff Hardy, so it looks pretty wicked. And again I'm
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: hoping that he's able to re emerge in TNA sometime
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Jeff.
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: You know, they always wanted to ask him there was
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: a period where you wrestled in a baseball cap, and
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: just right off the top of my head, like from
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: working on at WW as Ow said, how did Vincigmann
• 29:22
  Speaker 10: allow that even once, much less several times.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they never even questioned. They just kind of let
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: me do what I want. And I mean I figured
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: nobody else was trying to get through a whole wrestling
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: match with a baseball cap?
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Was that your goal?
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Never did until recently, and I didn't do as much
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: as I used to do back in my in my twenties.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: But I wore a TNA hat the last time we
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: were at the House of Glory, and I got through
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: the whole match with it, man, And so I can
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: say that I did, and I need to bring that back.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: And there's never been a figure made.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: There was one. W Do you guys remember too. Jeff
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: would like have piggy tails.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: He would have his hair.
• 30:01
  Speaker 12: Like piggy tails, right, or the hair out and he
• 30:04
  Speaker 12: cut holes in the hat and then they're sticking out
• 30:06
  Speaker 12: of the hat.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: And remember that jet.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: That was the way I thought it might I might
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: be able to stay on throughout the whole match. I
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: thought it might hold it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because his hair was out and he had piggy tails.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And I remember that. And he came up.
• 30:14
  Speaker 12: We're in Gorilla one time and they're sitting there and
• 30:17
  Speaker 12: Vince looked over and he said, and he said, why
• 30:24
  Speaker 12: does he do that?
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I don't. Whatever he does, he's cool, he says, damn it,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: he is cool.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Back when I was working brock Lesser a lot, I
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: was at this point. I was going, man, I just
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: need to do something new and something fresh. And I
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: was trying all these different things, but it was all
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: like I was in the lift for the moment's shirt,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: but it was all like a blue outfit and bluefish
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: net blue pants and the pigtails and all that, and
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: it looked like it looked wild man. But yeah, again,
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I was just trying different things back then, but that one,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: definitely it did not work, and I'm glad it didn't.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: You got you said something interesting. Actually, So as a dad,
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: over the years, I've been able to share this kind
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: of work with my daughter, like you know, hey, what tie.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Do you think I should wear?
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: And stuff like that, And it's actually very special to
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: me and I feel very proud to do that, like
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: on TV where something that sort of she thought of.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: And you guys, you know, talk about being parents all
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: the time. Is that something you also share with your kids?
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: And you mentioned designing something with your daughter for sure.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mett Ruby. And she is miss fashion man, my
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: oldest daughter. She's all about it man, and makes herself
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: up and just great with makeup and everything fashion. And
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I went to one of her volleyball games and I
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: had like some I had more blue jeans in a
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: long time, but I got this pair of blue denim
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: like Air Jordan's and the rip Blue Jeans and then
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Atlanta Braves Jersey and I went to her game and
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: this made my day. The next day, the next evening,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: when Ruby came home from school, she said, all her
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: friends thought my outfit at the volleyball game was fire.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: I felt like a cool father. That's okay, cool. I'm
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: gonna keep but yeah, she's amazing and we enjoy talking
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: about We're always going to each other. Does this look
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: right with this? Does this matchup?
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: So?
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the same deal.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: It's Mark.
• 32:13
  Speaker 12: It's it's funny because Brian can speak on this a
• 32:16
  Speaker 12: little bit too. So like my kids are wired a
• 32:19
  Speaker 12: little differently, Like if I'm doing something on TV and
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: if they know, if they've kind of been keeping up,
• 32:24
  Speaker 12: they might want to watch it. They may not just
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: kind of like, eh, I don't know. My dad, he's
• 32:27
  Speaker 12: just done this forever like it is what it is.
• 32:29
  Speaker 12: But whenever they know we're doing like a cinematic match
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: at the house. Now the kids are like like, hey,
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: I've got some ideas.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Agree.
• 32:37
  Speaker 12: And now my oldest son is the most athletic that
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: is Maxwell. He's on TV when he was a baby
• 32:43
  Speaker 12: is King Maxwell. Uh, and he's going to be really good.
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: He's like still going to work on his personality. My
• 32:48
  Speaker 12: youngest son, who like tries to fight his way and
• 32:51
  Speaker 12: like earn the respect of his older brothers.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: He's going to be the toughest. He's going to like
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: destroy everyone.
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: He is the guy that's going to be the biggest worker,
• 32:59
  Speaker 12: the best worker, best athlete, and the whole bunch. They
• 33:01
  Speaker 12: really want to wrestle and wood be my middle son.
• 33:03
  Speaker 12: He's like Dad, he said, you know, I think this
• 33:06
  Speaker 12: is really cool what you do. He said, but like,
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: I don't know how I want to get beat up
• 33:09
  Speaker 12: like that all the time. He said, can you make
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: money in wrestling by just like insulting people? Like can
• 33:16
  Speaker 12: you like like just talk and like and like and
• 33:19
  Speaker 12: throw insults at people and like make money? I said, actually, son,
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: you can be a bad guy. You can do that
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: in your entire career. You could manage.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Somebody said, that's perfect. That's all I want to do.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I just want to talk trash.
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: And he's the one like when you were there, we
• 33:34
  Speaker 12: you worked with Maxwell and the thing we had he
• 33:36
  Speaker 12: did the thing with with Eddie where Eddie turned into
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: a werewoof And he's got a lot of personality he's
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: super charismatic. But the next time the nimbus came out
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: there and he did a thing with Ryan Nimmouth where
• 33:45
  Speaker 12: he was sitting there and it's like Ryan Nimmouth was
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: in the midst of his dream because I was out
• 33:49
  Speaker 12: there drowning him in our pool and it's a special
• 33:51
  Speaker 12: pool which makes you go to a dream land. And
• 33:54
  Speaker 12: in this dream with Woofe, woof Be is the psychiatrist
• 33:58
  Speaker 12: and he's giving him advice and he said there blah
• 34:00
  Speaker 12: blah blah blah blah and woo he had like he
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: was great in it.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: They like really freestyled. Everything they did was just kind of.
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: Like just going and we just turned the camera on
• 34:08
  Speaker 12: and let them do stuff. And Ron was great with
• 34:11
  Speaker 12: the kids. And then uh, Woopy did the whole thing.
• 34:14
  Speaker 12: It's funny. He watched it back and he was great.
• 34:16
  Speaker 12: Everybody talked about it. Everybody loved it. And I said,
• 34:19
  Speaker 12: what do you think, woofy, was it good? He said yeah,
• 34:20
  Speaker 12: he said, what they cut so much more stuff out.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: That was the first thing.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: He said.
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: That's great, Like you were over like four minutes straight
• 34:30
  Speaker 12: in a segment, dude, But too funny.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: They're all politickers though, My.
• 34:35
  Speaker 10: Favorite part of our shoot was when Moose was forgetting
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: his lines and Barty was feeding him to him.
• 34:44
  Speaker 9: Old, yeah, that was good, very very funny. You guys
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: with those cinematic matches like change the game. Like now
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: there's it's normal they have like a cinematic match in wrestling.
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: When you guys did it, people like, what the hell
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: is this?
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, it was one thing that was cool.
• 34:59
  Speaker 12: One thing that I really did about pro wrestling is
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: how there's not just one right way or wrong way
• 35:04
  Speaker 12: to tell a story, you know what I mean. Like, obviously,
• 35:07
  Speaker 12: we grew up watching a lot of Classic Wrestling NWA,
• 35:09
  Speaker 12: so we got all that, and Jeff and I think
• 35:11
  Speaker 12: we've you know, had tons of matches that have just
• 35:14
  Speaker 12: been good quality matches, and we tell a story in
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: the context of a wrestling match, and hopefully we have
• 35:18
  Speaker 12: some emotional investment in the good guys and the bad
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: guys that are that are fighting off against one another.
• 35:23
  Speaker 12: But then we said, hey, like if we have a
• 35:25
  Speaker 12: tag team ladder match against Edge and Christian, we can
• 35:27
  Speaker 12: really do some special stuff, like we can do something different.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: And we eventually talked Vincent, let us do that in
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: like a little best of series.
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: And that's changed the game for us that tag team
• 35:37
  Speaker 12: Ladder match, No Mercy, Like our reaction was different. People
• 35:40
  Speaker 12: looked at as a legitimate stars from that point on,
• 35:43
  Speaker 12: and I think that kind of opened up Vince's mind
• 35:45
  Speaker 12: because you're like, well.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Damn it, can you do something with the Dudley's like that?
• 35:50
  Speaker 12: And I remember saying, dude, he they used to break
• 35:53
  Speaker 12: tables in ECW. I said, like, what if we had
• 35:55
  Speaker 12: a tables match with him? And I said, like, I
• 35:58
  Speaker 12: kind of. I came up with the rules and I
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: told my well, hey, hey, passes on events. I said, like,
• 36:02
  Speaker 12: you know, both people, both members of the team have
• 36:05
  Speaker 12: to go through, you know, and offensively you know, from
• 36:07
  Speaker 12: their opponents to win the match or whatever.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: And we got to go nuts and we had like
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: three and a half minutes cut.
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: Right before we went out three and a half four minutes,
• 36:14
  Speaker 12: and like, we flew through that first one, but it
• 36:16
  Speaker 12: ended up being a classic because it was just like
• 36:18
  Speaker 12: an absolute train wreck of the scene with all the
• 36:21
  Speaker 12: carnage and breaking that was going on, you know, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: that led to the whole TLC stuff and I felt like,
• 36:26
  Speaker 12: you know, us having those TLC matches were also like
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: telling matches in a different capacity.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: And then I felt like as I got older and
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: my body was beat up, I couldn't do as much
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: as I used to.
• 36:36
  Speaker 12: And I was like, let me think about something I do.
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: I want to try and revert and do a character
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: this maybe like Papa Shango. Maybe the crowd kind of
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: buys in and it's supernatural or something special is going
• 36:47
  Speaker 12: on with it, early Undertaker, and that's when I did
• 36:49
  Speaker 12: Broken Matt. And then one of the first things I
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: thought about was like, what if I just had matches
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: on my property like we.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Used to do as kids, you know what I mean?
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: And then we film it like a movie.
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: It's like a cinematic match, and lo and behold we
• 36:59
  Speaker 12: were and that was the right place at the right time,
• 37:01
  Speaker 12: and we were able to do it.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: That's where the final deletion was born.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we used to rent. We used to rent big
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: old VHS cameras with the big old VHS tapes and
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: we'd runt them for the weekend. We'd make a movie,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: a short film. And but yes, speaking of the cinematic
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: matches and now knowing how badass like the shows like
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Breaking Bad was and Walking Dead, but being on AMC. Man,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: the first cinematic match on AMC is gonna be.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Huge, man. Yeah's true.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm hoping in praying that I'm a part of that.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, so you you mentioned the best of series? Was
• 37:36

• 41:41
  Speaker 1: We want to figure. That was like our deal, Like
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: we thought it was cool.
• 41:44
  Speaker 12: You know, there's those moments and you guys know this
• 41:47
  Speaker 12: when you know you've made it, like when you get
• 41:48
  Speaker 12: a T shirt, when you're on a video game, when
• 41:51
  Speaker 12: you get a figure, I think for for for me,
• 41:54
  Speaker 12: maybe for Jeff two, Like I felt like having an
• 41:56
  Speaker 12: official w w F action figure means you made it,
• 42:00
  Speaker 12: you know what I mean, So I'll never yet. This
• 42:03
  Speaker 12: was like after WrestleMania two thousand and we like said, man,
• 42:07
  Speaker 12: I don't even know if they're going to make figures
• 42:08
  Speaker 12: out of us. I don't know if they're going to
• 42:10
  Speaker 12: make them because it took so long. It felt like
• 42:12
  Speaker 12: but that was just the process then, right, because it
• 42:14
  Speaker 12: just took such a long right, right, we didn't know that.
• 42:17
  Speaker 12: But like once I saw this figure and Jeff and
• 42:20
  Speaker 12: I were here tied on the shoulder and it's done,
• 42:24
  Speaker 12: it has WWF on it, officially made by them, I'm like, dude,
• 42:28
  Speaker 12: we have made it, Like they have this figure, you know,
• 42:31
  Speaker 12: like we have made it, and we're like, you know,
• 42:34
  Speaker 12: if this is the only one we did, then then
• 42:35
  Speaker 12: we had it and we can say that we've done it.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: And it still kind of gives me chills even looking
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: at it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 12: It was like such a special moment to really reinforce
• 42:43
  Speaker 12: that we had made it, we had achieved our dreams,
• 42:45
  Speaker 12: and we had no idea. They started rolling out like
• 42:48
  Speaker 12: crazy after this, you know what I mean, and they
• 42:50
  Speaker 12: kept coming, and it's cool. I've had a couple of
• 42:52
  Speaker 12: people that would really try and find our figures so
• 42:54
  Speaker 12: we could collect them and everything else when I was back,
• 42:56
  Speaker 12: and I still have a pretty good collection, nowhere near.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: As good as Josh. Oh yeah, oh yeah, he's got
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: it all there, he is. He's got some great stuff
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: to sign today too, He really really did.
• 43:08
  Speaker 12: But yeah, man, this this for us was a true
• 43:11
  Speaker 12: moment and uh really a true sign that we had
• 43:14
  Speaker 12: succeeded in achieving our dream.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: And that was before they had they were forced to
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: get the f out. I thought that was one of
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: the coolest shirts when they yeah, get the f out.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: But every time I paint my face now, I think
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: about an action figure and go, okay, this might be
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: an Action figure, you know, immortalized as an Action figure.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: So it's so cool to see all the different face
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: paints I've done over the years being immortalized on an
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Action figure.
• 43:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you guys have had literally hundreds of figures. There's
• 43:41
  Speaker 9: no way we can talk about it. We did pick
• 43:43
  Speaker 9: out a couple, do you guys remember these? They were
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: called finishing moves and they could like and they were
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: packed separately so like they was doing the twist of.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Faith, they were doing the swanton. These were kind of
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: like ahead of their time.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: They were.
• 43:56
  Speaker 12: They were real funky because people are like, why are
• 43:58
  Speaker 12: the action figures like standing up and looking appropriate?
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: You know, I still haven't figured out how that one
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: is a twist of fate at all.
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they tried.
• 44:09
  Speaker 12: It was cool though, how they tried to like just
• 44:11
  Speaker 12: reposition They tried to like position the figures like unique,
• 44:14
  Speaker 12: like a wrestling move is being executed or whatever.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: It was a cool figure and I give them, I
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: give them an a for effort of trying something different.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: I loved because like the hair is all like blowing
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: in the wind. Shah, It's great. Yeah. And then speaking
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: of hair, let's talk about this TNA true Pac. What's
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: with the braid?
• 44:31
  Speaker 13: Look?
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the braid. I was ready, you know, I was.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I was reinventing. Man. It just uh.
• 44:36
  Speaker 12: I think at this specific time in my career, I
• 44:39
  Speaker 12: wasn't in the headspace I need to be in to
• 44:41
  Speaker 12: go out there and put on my best performance.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: But but my my, I had like an.
• 44:45
  Speaker 12: Idea about this whole cold bloody character, especially because it
• 44:48
  Speaker 12: was going to be a hell and Jeff was truly
• 44:51
  Speaker 12: a hill trying to be a hell for one of
• 44:52
  Speaker 12: the first times in his career legitimately a hill. Uh
• 44:55
  Speaker 12: So I had some ideas.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: It didn't pan out, but who knows, maybe we'll do
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: it again one day down the road. I'll get the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: braids again.
• 45:01
  Speaker 10: That's your only TNA two pac to date, and that
• 45:04
  Speaker 10: thing's worth a lot of money, by the way.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: That is true. Yeah, the Anti CHRISTI in Cold Blood.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: After all these years now, they're having hundreds and hundred
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: of figures.
• 45:12
  Speaker 10: What are some that stand out to you guys that
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: are your favorite or you know when you meet the
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: people like today that you look forward to signing and seeing.
• 45:20
  Speaker 12: One of my favorite is the one that we called
• 45:22
  Speaker 12: the Brood figure that comes through you know, I'm talking
• 45:24
  Speaker 12: about where we're wearing the actual tie did shirts that
• 45:28
  Speaker 12: we had when we were with the Gang Girl. That
• 45:29
  Speaker 12: was like such a special time for us, I feel like,
• 45:32
  Speaker 12: you know, because.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: That fit both of us.
• 45:36
  Speaker 12: I think we were down with that too, because he's like, well,
• 45:38
  Speaker 12: you know, he's a vampire, so just kind of be goth,
• 45:40
  Speaker 12: just kind of be more God.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: That was the little bit of direction that we got.
• 45:44
  Speaker 12: For events and we're like, okay, So that means like
• 45:46
  Speaker 12: we can be serious and you know, kind of like
• 45:48
  Speaker 12: almost cold, emotionless whatever.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: And that's where we first started coming out.
• 45:53
  Speaker 12: And I don't know if you remember Chap at the
• 45:54
  Speaker 12: beginning game girl said well, what are you guys gonna
• 45:56
  Speaker 12: do whenever I like take my sip of blood, you know,
• 46:00
  Speaker 12: do the blood?
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: And you remember what we started doing there.
• 46:02
  Speaker 12: We said, okay, I got some good ideas what we
• 46:04
  Speaker 12: can do since we kind of we're kind of like vambera, yeah,
• 46:06
  Speaker 12: we're doing this.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: And uh, at first Vince said, why do you what
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: does it look like you have guns to your head?
• 46:13
  Speaker 12: And I go, well, because we're we're goth and we're
• 46:16
  Speaker 12: emo and like we're suicidal, we're willing to take any
• 46:20
  Speaker 12: un of risk.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: That's what we're doing. He said, I don't think we
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: can put guns to your head. You're gonna have to
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: move them down a little bit. So you know, then
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: you start seeing the hardy boys posing like this all
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: the time. So that's where that's where that came. I
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: the evolution.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one of my favorite action figures is the one.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: I guess it was from a TLC match, but it's
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: the one that my shirt is ripped. Oh yeah, match,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: I love that figure, but man, overall, I can't lie.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: I think my favorite figure of all time is the
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: I guess the last one that AW put out of me.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: That the one that's in the.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Black Light.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: And it's the uh you know, I had the pleasure
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: of working with Darby Allen two times, but uh, that
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: was from the first time I wrestled Derby Allen. That's
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: what I was wearing in that match. But it's such
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: a such a beautiful figure. I just wish it could
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: have came out like when I was in the AW dimension.
• 47:12
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: The also a naturally figure. I would look forward to seeing.
• 47:17
  Speaker 12: It's the only Brother Nero figure that is in circulation, really,
• 47:20
  Speaker 12: and that's the Ring of Honor figure that AW put
• 47:23
  Speaker 12: out when Jeff and I we were the yeah yeah
• 47:26
  Speaker 12: Tech team champs and that that that's a great figure.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: It's one of the best broken mats.
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 47:31
  Speaker 12: It's the only Brother Nero and we do look forward
• 47:34
  Speaker 12: to sounding that. Maybe that may be the absolute best
• 47:36
  Speaker 12: thing we got out of AW.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: I think they said they only made three thousand, right.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Well that's what they said.
• 47:41
  Speaker 12: I've signed seven thousand, don't I don't buy those limited numbers.
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: And what about when you guys returned to WW in
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: Orlando wrestle Mainia.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then they made that too bad? Oh yeah, man,
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: what a what a pop? That's the only stupidest pop
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: I think I'll ever hear in my career.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that that action figure is very cool.
• 48:03
  Speaker 12: To return the WrestleMania thirty three return action figure made
• 48:07
  Speaker 12: into two figures immortalized is super cool.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: That's also one of our favorite figures. No doubt, that
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: was a that was a great moment. Is there anybody
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: here that happened to be there Russellmania thirty three?
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: Oh wow?
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: All these people, Okay, they contributed to the pops. It's
• 48:24
  Speaker 12: so cool because that was a moment that people saw
• 48:29
  Speaker 12: as legitimate surprise. And you know, we live in even
• 48:32
  Speaker 12: at that time, we lived in the you know era
• 48:35
  Speaker 12: of the Internet where information flies and everything gets out
• 48:38
  Speaker 12: and spoilers are leaked and everything else. But like, we
• 48:41
  Speaker 12: did our best to keep that as quiet as possible,
• 48:43
  Speaker 12: and there was only a handful of people that knew
• 48:45
  Speaker 12: and like, I know there were some people like I
• 48:46
  Speaker 12: think they're gonna show up, but like, we just had
• 48:48
  Speaker 12: a killer thirty minute match with the Bucks of Youth
• 48:51
  Speaker 12: the Young Bucks the night before, So it was real
• 48:54
  Speaker 12: cool when we came out and it felt like a
• 48:55
  Speaker 12: legitimate surprise and we hadn't been in that arena at all,
• 48:58
  Speaker 12: you know. We we showed the arena forty five minutes
• 49:02
  Speaker 12: before our match was going to happen.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: You know, and none of the talent knew we were
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: going to be there. We showed up, we went and.
• 49:09
  Speaker 12: Got on a bus backstage, and it's funny, we were
• 49:11
  Speaker 12: in Orlando and it's in April is when that happened,
• 49:14
  Speaker 12: and I'll never forget this.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Said, hey, you go, you got to get some hoodies.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Go get some hoodies. And we're like okay, and we're
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: like they weren't that easy to.
• 49:20
  Speaker 12: Find in April Orlando because you don't necessarily need hoodies
• 49:23
  Speaker 12: here all the time.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: All the hoodies we got were pink, so we had to.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: If you ever see that.
• 49:27
  Speaker 12: Documentary piece, we're all wearing pink hoodies and we sneak
• 49:30
  Speaker 12: into the building. We do that, We go up there
• 49:32
  Speaker 12: and then it was crazy because like we walk in.
• 49:34
  Speaker 12: I know, my wife was there and she was like
• 49:36
  Speaker 12: she was seven months pregnant with a woofie and Maxwell.
• 49:40
  Speaker 12: She was baby wearing him on her back and she's
• 49:42
  Speaker 12: mad because we had to run up four.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Flights of stairs. Oh, it was so far right here,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: really well.
• 49:47
  Speaker 12: And we had no idea how the arena looked because
• 49:49
  Speaker 12: we hadn't been there at all. You know, usually at TV,
• 49:51
  Speaker 12: you're there all day, you're kind of checking it out,
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: you know what it looks like. And just whenever we
• 49:55
  Speaker 12: came out to see this sea of humanity, you know,
• 49:59
  Speaker 12: out there doing something that we established the Broken universe
• 50:03
  Speaker 12: in Broken Matt and Brother Nero and the Delete Delete taunt, Uh,
• 50:07
  Speaker 12: there was you know, just there was forty fifty thousand
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: people doing that and it was crazy and it just
• 50:12
  Speaker 12: showed like wow, like wrestling fans do pay attention, and
• 50:15
  Speaker 12: they were just so excited. And the emotion I can
• 50:17
  Speaker 12: film in slow emotion is we're going down.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Like the emotion you can.
• 50:20
  Speaker 12: See on people's faces from us coming back to w
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: B was just so incredible. And Jeff and I say
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: this all the time. The further we get away from
• 50:27
  Speaker 12: that moment, I feel like it becomes more and more
• 50:29
  Speaker 12: of an important part of our career, Like might be
• 50:31
  Speaker 12: the top moment of our career.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of feel it was. And just recently
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: I remembered one of the lies that developed over that
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: month because I got so tired of just lying. But
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: we've been saying, yeah, we signed with the Ring of
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Honor for a few years, but I used to say, yeah,
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: we signed a Ring of Honor for a couple of years. Man,
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: I'm even going to start doing some concerts with a
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: Ring of Honor like throughout the year. And I just
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: I was so tired of lying, and that's exactly what
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: I said. I'm just glad it's over as far as
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: you know, pumping it up as we were not going
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: to be there. But yeah, that's one of the things. Yeah,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: we're gon I'm gonna be a Ring of Honor and
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: do some actual concerts. Man, We're in for the long haul.
• 51:04
  Speaker 12: So we had to do all this media and even
• 51:06
  Speaker 12: that weekend we're doing Ring of Honor and a lot
• 51:08
  Speaker 12: of people forget. On Friday night, we main invented the
• 51:10
  Speaker 12: Wrestle Con Super Show and myself and Jeff Russell the
• 51:13
  Speaker 12: Luchavros Penton Phoenix, which would be a hell of a match,
• 51:16
  Speaker 12: you know, in this day and age. But it was
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: then we had a great match with those guys, and
• 51:20
  Speaker 12: then the next night we had the Young Bucks.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: I remember we were doing media earlier in that day
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: and they were sitting back and talking to Jeff and
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: they said, so, Jeff, so now that you guys are
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: here at Ring of Honor, I mean, I don't know
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: how long.
• 51:30
  Speaker 12: This is gonna last for, but like, you know, are
• 51:32
  Speaker 12: you thinking about returning to the WV And Jeff's going like,
• 51:35
  Speaker 12: Jeff's going eh, and I'm just hade, I'm going just like, no, no, no, no,
• 51:39
  Speaker 12: We've signed contracts, so the Ring of Honor we're gonna
• 51:42
  Speaker 12: be here. And I remember once we minished the media,
• 51:44
  Speaker 12: Jeff said, man, I'm just so sick of lyon. Man,
• 51:47
  Speaker 12: I want to stop all this. Man, let's just come clean.
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: So the latest figures you guys are gonna have. Luckily,
• 51:54
  Speaker 9: you know, you signed with us for collect major We
• 51:57
  Speaker 9: made big rubber guys, major Bennies. But today we're going
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: to show everybody the major stars coming.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: There is whoa.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Up the reveal, but there's still.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Does anybody know what we won when we were wearing
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: those outfits? Is anybody?
• 52:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah? The NXT whoever said that was right, Yeah, we
• 52:21
  Speaker 12: we were wearing all we'd weren't it a couple times before,
• 52:24
  Speaker 12: but that was the NXT title win, which was a
• 52:27
  Speaker 12: very cool moment for us. We were the first WB contractor,
• 52:30
  Speaker 12: We were the first TNA contracted talent to win a
• 52:33
  Speaker 12: WB title, which was pretty neat and uh. The fact
• 52:37
  Speaker 12: that we won the NXT w B Tag team titles
• 52:40
  Speaker 12: also allowed another fact for us.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: It was really cool.
• 52:44
  Speaker 12: We're the only tag team to win w B titles
• 52:47
  Speaker 12: consecutively over four different decades because we were w B
• 52:51
  Speaker 12: Tag champs in the nineties, the two thousands, the twenty tens,
• 52:53
  Speaker 12: and now the twenty twenties.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Because of those NXT.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: Tag titles, that's a big make sure you buy those.
• 53:01
  Speaker 10: I say, I petitioned hard for the white because I
• 53:03
  Speaker 10: thought it was unique, that'd be a lot of fun.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: So for sure TTD knocked these out of the park.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: They're beautiful. So two of the most incredible figures I've seen.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: I just have a question as far as the creation
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: of these things, Like I normally I go to photo
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: and get pictures on my face painting designed, but it's like,
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: I don't think I ever took a picture of that.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: How does that work these days?
• 53:23
  Speaker 10: We don't have time, but we have two maniacs in
• 53:25
  Speaker 10: the back here, Ryan who introduced you to our artist TTD,
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: and the guy next to him is uh D Freedom,
• 53:32

  Speaker 4: Though.
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: Can I ask you, actually, Matt, since we're finished with
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: the figures here, could you explain to everybody your collection.
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: Brian has told the story many times, I just can't
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: picture it in my head. So, like you have most
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: of your figures displayed, yes, proudly like it's a whole
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: living basement or something like that.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: It's uh, well downstairs. You have rules to this collection,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: you know what is it?
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 54:38
  Speaker 12: I mean, basically, I've just tried to collect every figure
• 54:40
  Speaker 12: I had. I had one guy, a guy named Thomas
• 54:43
  Speaker 12: Simpson who's our investor back in Omega, and he's a
• 54:47
  Speaker 12: real Southern gentleman.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: He goes, well, Matt, I got you some of your
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: new figures. I got him for you.
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: And Jeff.
• 54:52
  Speaker 12: You know, he's quite the character, quite the personality, but
• 54:55
  Speaker 12: he he gave me so many of the different figures.
• 54:57
  Speaker 12: And if I was ever out and about and I
• 54:59
  Speaker 12: was doing a run during our w B run anytime
• 55:02
  Speaker 12: and I had to stop at a Target or Walmart.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: I would like go through the figure section just see
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: if anything was there.
• 55:07
  Speaker 12: But it is everything we had. It used to be
• 55:10
  Speaker 12: everything with myself and Jeff. I'll be honest. As time
• 55:13
  Speaker 12: is going on, a lot of Jeff stuff has come
• 55:14
  Speaker 12: up the wall because I was just gonna see singles
• 55:18
  Speaker 12: Jeff stuff, you know what I mean, just because it
• 55:19
  Speaker 12: overloaded all our tag stuffs there.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: But we've got that, and it's it's downstairs.
• 55:26
  Speaker 12: I have a gym, and we have a pretty pretty
• 55:29
  Speaker 12: nice kind of full fledged arcade down there in the gym.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Uh, and it is in the arcade, like.
• 55:35
  Speaker 12: On the back wall, and it has just covered his
• 55:37
  Speaker 12: water wall from top to bottom, a little different shelf,
• 55:40
  Speaker 12: and we we keep figuring out the way to put
• 55:43
  Speaker 12: things in there and keep packing it up, and we
• 55:44
  Speaker 12: even extended a little bit where it goes around the corner.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: So it's uh, I have over I have over two
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: hundred figures. I'm on there.
• 55:53
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 55:53
  Speaker 12: Wow, and uh, it's it's it's pretty cool. It's a
• 55:56
  Speaker 12: it's a cool deal, and it feels like it's a
• 55:58
  Speaker 12: nice it's a nice way to look at that and
• 56:02
  Speaker 12: reinforces like, hey, you've done pretty good for yourself, kiddo,
• 56:04
  Speaker 12: you know what I mean.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: So you've got replicas, like you've ever had too of
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: your titles?
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: What's that you have replicas of?
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 56:12
  Speaker 7: I do I have?
• 56:13
  Speaker 12: I have everyone now except the WB TAG titles that
• 56:17
  Speaker 12: we won in like two thousand and six, two thousand
• 56:20
  Speaker 12: and seven, and that's the only one I am.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: I am yet to get.
• 56:23
  Speaker 9: I remember when we first debuted, you had like a
• 56:26
  Speaker 9: party at your house, like after SmackDown, and we went
• 56:28
  Speaker 9: and I saw like the figures of the time, like
• 56:30
  Speaker 9: this is the coolest thing ever. It was like such
• 56:32
  Speaker 9: like an inspiration, like I want figures of myself and
• 56:35
  Speaker 9: I want them displayed like this. And I remember you
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: had this giant I don't know if you still have it,
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: like a WF magazine cover, but it's huge.
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm like, this is fucking awesome at the time.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was cool, man.
• 56:46
  Speaker 12: I know they were like that too, Like whenever we would,
• 56:48
  Speaker 12: you know, do covers of magazines, if they could hook
• 56:50
  Speaker 12: us up and send a bigger one, they would. And
• 56:52
  Speaker 12: it's like, I mean, yeah, what we do is so unpredictable, right,
• 56:57
  Speaker 12: It's this is this career is like so unpredictable.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, any match could be your last match. You
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: never never know.
• 57:04
  Speaker 12: So it's like whenever you get an opportunity to get
• 57:07
  Speaker 12: cool stuff like that that you have, you got to
• 57:08
  Speaker 12: get it and try and grab it, you.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Know what I mean, because you never know when this
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: when this rod is gonna end.
• 57:13

  Speaker 10: always took us in and invited us out, and like
• 57:50

• 57:51
  Speaker 10: appreciate you guys coming through here today.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you. We do appreciate it.
• 57:55
  Speaker 12: And I think one of the coolest things about us
• 57:58
  Speaker 12: is like we we were born, you know, we were
• 58:02
  Speaker 12: pretty poor our family and like our mom died when
• 58:04
  Speaker 12: we were young, and this was our dream and we
• 58:07
  Speaker 12: wanted to do it. And we legitimately like as much
• 58:10
  Speaker 12: as you can start at the bottom, bottom bottom, you
• 58:13
  Speaker 12: know what I mean, come and being extras and after
• 58:15
  Speaker 12: we would work TVs, we'd get damn sixty six percent
• 58:18
  Speaker 12: of our money taken by the Italian study and he
• 58:20
  Speaker 12: was booking us, you know, and he'd rip us off
• 58:22
  Speaker 12: for three nights. But you know, we were able to
• 58:24
  Speaker 12: be those guys. And we saw how some of those
• 58:27
  Speaker 12: guys got treated by stars at that time, and we
• 58:29
  Speaker 12: thought it was like shitty. And I just remember, once
• 58:31
  Speaker 12: we made it, we're like, well, if we ever see
• 58:33
  Speaker 12: these guys, let's be very accommodating.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: And you know, it's like, hey, what's up. You never
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: know who is going to be what.
• 58:39
  Speaker 12: You know, there's always potential everywhere, and you know, I
• 58:42
  Speaker 12: think that's an important part of human kindom anyways, you know,
• 58:45
  Speaker 12: just try and treat people good, try and be good
• 58:47
  Speaker 12: to people, regardless of where you're at, especially if you're
• 58:50
  Speaker 12: one that has been fortunate enough to like live a
• 58:52
  Speaker 12: good life. And we both, we both live a good
• 58:55
  Speaker 12: life wrestling. His blesses both so much. And we're just
• 58:58
  Speaker 12: so grateful to have good people like you guys and
• 59:02
  Speaker 12: other guys in pro wrestling that we can interact with,
• 59:04
  Speaker 12: that we can be friends with, especially people like you guys.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: I told you, I'm very envious. I admire how you
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: guys have built this whole Major Brothers brand. It's incredible.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: It's very very good stuff.
• 59:15
  Speaker 12: And the fact that you Matt, you you know, better
• 59:18
  Speaker 12: than yourself after WB and you went out and you
• 59:21
  Speaker 12: did this stuff, becoming the King of the death Match
• 59:23
  Speaker 12: and this, and then once again you're like the evolution
• 59:25
  Speaker 12: of things that we have done in the past, and
• 59:28
  Speaker 12: like you totally built yourself up where WB needed to
• 59:32
  Speaker 12: hire you back as opposed to you needing to go back,
• 59:34
  Speaker 12: which is very very cool.
• 59:35
