- 5:07Speaker 1: No think about it. Two thousand and two would make sense.
- 5:11Speaker 4: It would have.
- 5:12Speaker 5: Made sense because everybody that was a big star in
- 5:16Speaker 5: w c W, they came after the invasion. Only had
- 5:20Speaker 5: was a bunch of Nick Carters.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Fro WCW. You ain't have no main events. I mean

- 6:07Speaker 4: The ship must gottage gottage.
- 6:11Speaker 6: We can have some.
- 6:12Speaker 4: Good points of doing it. Yes, it was terrible.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Well the waiy I see it. If we did it,
- 6:21Speaker 1: the two thousand.
- 6:24Speaker 5: Over guys that I mentioned came in after the invasion.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Was over the way I see it, the way I
- 6:33Speaker 2: see it. If we did that, Lord, let's be that
- 6:39Speaker 2: nation the years two thousand and two and we do
- 6:44Speaker 2: the alliance saying in two thousand and two, don't it
- 6:48Speaker 2: don't make sense? Two thousand and one was perfect. That
- 6:52Speaker 2: was every close their doors.
- 6:54Speaker 1: We bought w c W.
- 6:55Speaker 2: They won't revenge. They come over to w w S.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Put it side of the business.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Here it was. It could have did it three years later.
- 7:04Speaker 4: It didn't matter.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Three years later it would be ridiculous.
- 7:07Speaker 4: As long as it had the name players. Two thousand
- 7:11Speaker 4: and two would have been perfect.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Three years there would be ridiculous, you know. And then
- 7:16Speaker 2: it's town warns don't exist.
- 7:18Speaker 3: No more.
- 7:21Speaker 5: Like I said, everybody that I mentioned came in after
- 7:25Speaker 5: the invasion. Claire came right after the United Survivor Series,

- 7:48Speaker 5: I mean two. Goldberg came in two thousand and three.
- 7:52Speaker 5: Of course Sting would come years and years later. But
- 7:55Speaker 5: still the point is everybody came after the invasion.
- 8:05Speaker 2: I'm actually this, uh my friend Mercedes money on Facebook.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Mercedes Ronaldo makes you this being the best collected. At first,
- 8:15Speaker 2: I've always cool, you got eight different championships from different companies. Then,
- 8:20Speaker 2: like Jim Cornett said, hang on, Like Jim Cornett said,
- 8:24Speaker 2: uh yeah, but you got eight different You got seven
- 8:28Speaker 2: of those championships with people, companies, somebody nobody's ever heard of.
- 8:33Speaker 4: He's right, it doesn't mean nothing.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Well, not seven six because one of them from New
- 8:38Speaker 2: Japan at the time, and of course a w So
- 8:41Speaker 2: six of those championships are from companies nobody even ever
- 8:45Speaker 2: heard of.
- 8:48Speaker 6: That's true. Angy companies.
- 8:52Speaker 4: People's never heard of let companies. So it's like, you
- 8:58Speaker 4: don't have anything, but what did you champion up?
- 9:02Speaker 5: The only real championship you have is the AD and
- 9:05Speaker 5: w TBS title.
- 9:07Speaker 4: You ain't got the new Japan Belt no more. Oh
- 9:11Speaker 4: the Owen Heart Belt.
- 9:12Speaker 5: That doesn't count.
- 9:13Speaker 4: That's not a sanctioned belt. So where would where are you? Champion?
- 9:20Speaker 6: Though?
- 9:21Speaker 4: That means nothing? And to be honest, she's terrible to
- 9:26Speaker 4: watch out. I'm just being honest. Everybody said, hey, she
- 9:34Speaker 4: was she was better when she was in the w
- 9:37Speaker 4: W E. She's not in the w W E and
- 9:40Speaker 4: she goes a e W. The real Hurrice out. Muh see,
- 9:47Speaker 4: that's the difference.
- 9:48Speaker 7: Between a e W and w w E.
- 9:51Speaker 5: At least everybody in w W is smart enough to protect.
- 9:57Speaker 4: A lot of people.
- 10:00Speaker 5: When they leave WWE, they're on their own and a
- 10:03Speaker 5: real them comes out. You're not protected.
- 10:07Speaker 4: It's like, for example, you can be.
- 10:09Speaker 5: In ww and be the biggest thing since slice bread,
- 10:13Speaker 5: like this person is an amazing worker, this person is
- 10:17Speaker 5: an amazing ent ring performer. They leave WWE, there's nobody
- 10:23Speaker 5: there to.
- 10:25Speaker 4: Work with them, so to speak. So the real VIM
- 10:28Speaker 4: comes out and they're like, oh, this person is not
- 10:31Speaker 4: as good as I thought they was. And that's happened
- 10:35Speaker 4: to a lot of people.
- 10:37Speaker 5: And look at John Moxley, you look at Sasha Banks,
- 10:41Speaker 5: even Vince Russo and his booking.
- 10:44Speaker 4: Why because they were catered to and protected. When you
- 10:49Speaker 4: go somewhere else and you're giving full control, the real
- 10:52Speaker 4: you comes out. There's nobody there to.
- 10:55Speaker 8: Help you, and any w has been exposed. There's no
- 11:00Speaker 8: one there helping them work. It's either no one's helping
- 11:09Speaker 8: them or.
- 11:10Speaker 5: If these young guys are not listening to the people
- 11:12Speaker 5: as actually trying to help.
- 11:17Speaker 4: You know a lot of people that has left Ape.
- 11:19Speaker 4: You all said the same things, like the inmates are
- 11:22Speaker 4: running me asylum. Tony Kahn is not really a boss.
- 11:27Speaker 5: You can't be a boss if you're soft and want
- 11:29Speaker 5: to be friends with everybody and to keep everybody happy.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta have You gotta.
- 11:35Speaker 5: Grow some nuts and be a boss at the end
- 11:38Speaker 5: of the day.
- 11:43Speaker 4: Now, Vince, he was a boss. Does he have his favorites? Yes,
- 11:50Speaker 4: And when it came time to punish.
- 11:51Speaker 5: His favorites he did that. Why because he's a boss.
- 11:55Speaker 5: He wasn't trying to be friends with everybody.
- 11:58Speaker 1: He told you where to go when it was time too.
- 12:01Speaker 5: That's what Tony Kahan doesn't.
- 12:05Speaker 3: And he'll tell you go to hell.
- 12:06Speaker 4: You and they take advantage of that. They know he's soft.
- 12:12Speaker 1: He'll tell you go to hell. You need to go
- 12:14Speaker 1: to hell.
- 12:18Speaker 4: You can get away with that, but not here.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Like I said this time and time again with Vince like,
- 12:27Speaker 2: unlike Tony Khan. Like if Tony Khan like somebody, he'll go,
- 12:32Speaker 2: he'll he'll throw a rocket hide in his hand and
- 12:36Speaker 2: use corporate.
- 12:36Speaker 1: As a shield.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Vic mc manly he'll like somebody. He'll walk trail to
- 12:41Speaker 2: that person. Look you dead in your face, eyeball to eyeball.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I don't like you. I'm gonna screw you. I don't
- 12:48Speaker 1: like you.
- 12:51Speaker 4: I don't like you. But you're making the money, so
- 12:55Speaker 4: keep you around and work.
- 12:57Speaker 2: But the minute you get on my nerves, you got
- 12:59Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta get the bricks. I'm like, I'm like, uh,
- 13:05Speaker 2: I'm like Tony Kahan, Visy man tell you where to
- 13:08Speaker 2: go and how to get that.
- 13:10Speaker 1: He had enough of you.
- 13:11Speaker 3: That's it.
- 13:14Speaker 6: For no asshole.
- 13:16Speaker 5: They turn things around in agw of their ratings are
- 13:20Speaker 5: continuing to drop, which is nothing good.
- 13:25Speaker 4: Uh rampage this parent came true as low as rating.
- 13:32Speaker 5: And this is the second time that the show has
- 13:35Speaker 5: drawn an all time record low.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Mmm.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Something's gotta change that.
- 13:44Speaker 2: I mean, if only they had the top guy they
- 13:46Speaker 2: can call and bring bring in ratings. For example, when
- 13:49Speaker 2: we want ratings, we call it brock listener.
- 13:52Speaker 5: It's not just it's not just a guys, it's also
- 13:56Speaker 5: the people running the show.
- 13:58Speaker 1: In your booking, oh that booking.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Yes, it's a combination of everything, just not just one
- 14:05Speaker 5: or two people.
- 14:06Speaker 2: And to tell you, boy, the booking that book is
- 14:08Speaker 2: so hard. They never follow through. For example, the young
- 14:12Speaker 2: Buck storyline, they lose, they lose all their privileges.
- 14:15Speaker 1: What happened?
- 14:16Speaker 2: What happened a few weeks ago? They got they they
- 14:20Speaker 2: got the power and the interest music back.
- 14:24Speaker 5: Let's not forget when they got written off TV for
- 14:27Speaker 5: a little while, and they are so much seating with
- 14:32Speaker 5: the geat writers and they keep running away from them.
- 14:34Speaker 5: They go away for three months and come back and
- 14:37Speaker 5: you're helping them after running away from them for a month.
- 14:42Speaker 4: And then the worst.
- 14:43Speaker 6: One, what's the Adam called? And your storyline?
- 14:50Speaker 7: Oh man, oh man, that was so bad.
- 14:55Speaker 1: They never see it.
- 14:56Speaker 2: They never see a storyline through from beginning to in, like, okay,
- 15:00Speaker 2: give me get get, give me a conclusion that's worth
- 15:03Speaker 2: me paying paying attition to this thing.
- 15:06Speaker 5: Don't care if you was starting at VIRGINNY, but they
- 15:09Speaker 5: won't give you a Yeah. Sometimes it'll just give you
- 15:13Speaker 5: a start and no mint it win, no way, Like
- 15:17Speaker 5: why am I.
- 15:18Speaker 4: Gonna get invested in this? Said? You don't follow through
- 15:21Speaker 4: on it?
- 15:23Speaker 5: And I'm actually shout to surprise that some people are
- 15:28Speaker 5: beginning to notice and they're turning away from the product.
- 15:34Speaker 2: For example, I have an old school on you. Two
- 15:37Speaker 2: thousand and three. Two three is Vincus visus Stephanie man
- 15:41Speaker 2: storyline with Vince Stephanie the general manager versus the chairman.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Vince.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Vince is like, you know, I'm sick of this. Stepinitely
- 15:50Speaker 2: like you know, I'm sick of this. You arenderminding me.
- 15:52Speaker 2: I'm the German manager. I know, I know you lost.
- 15:55Speaker 2: I know you're my daddy. You are demining me. One
- 15:57Speaker 2: of us got to go and they had a I
- 16:01Speaker 2: believe at.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Uh and no mercy. If I win, you gotta go.
- 16:08Speaker 1: If you win, I'm fired and boom storyline follow.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Through Vince one, Stephanie is quote unquote fired, the fight
- 16:17Speaker 2: sat down, New your Manager storyline followed through a w
- 16:20Speaker 2: can't do that.
- 16:24Speaker 6: That's true.
- 16:31Speaker 5: And people hate Jim Cornett because they fear he's shitting
- 16:36Speaker 5: on them.
- 16:36Speaker 4: He's not shitting on them. Well, the ship is not good.
- 16:41Speaker 4: If it's good, he'll praise it. It's not. He's gonna
- 16:45Speaker 4: tell you that the shit is garded like it's not good.
- 16:54Speaker 4: This ship is just not good.
- 16:57Speaker 5: The only thing that comes out of there is their
- 17:00Speaker 5: pay per viewers are somewhat watchable, but some of the
- 17:04Speaker 5: matches ain't so good. On the paper views about he's watchable.
- 17:08Speaker 2: If you're gonna make somebody finish spend like fifty sixty dollars,
- 17:11Speaker 2: you can at least make work work worth my time
- 17:13Speaker 2: and money.
- 17:16Speaker 4: Oh, I don't care how much I'm paying.
- 17:18Speaker 6: That ship needs to be good.
- 17:21Speaker 1: That's enough.

- 30:21Speaker 2: would you prefer an old school era or today?
- 30:28Speaker 4: Old school?
- 30:29Speaker 1: Interesting?
- 30:32Speaker 3: Me, I'm I'm kind of the reason I.
- 30:35Speaker 5: Say old school because you learned to appreciate things back then.
- 30:41Speaker 4: Now you can get everything so easily just using your
- 30:47Speaker 4: scene during your soul phone. Back then, there was no Internet.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Yeah me, I'm a little.
- 30:59Speaker 4: Me.
- 30:59Speaker 5: I'm because you had to if you was a fan
- 31:04Speaker 5: of something, you had to scrunch and claw to get
- 31:08Speaker 5: what it is that she was a fan of, especially
- 31:12Speaker 5: if he.
- 31:12Speaker 4: Was a fan of something that you watched. You see,
- 31:15Speaker 4: back in your.
- 31:16Speaker 5: Nutralate eighties and early nineties, not every household had cable.
- 31:23Speaker 4: We all remember having cable, and there was a brief
- 31:27Speaker 4: period that where we moved to a different town and
- 31:32Speaker 4: for about four or five months and we didn't have cable.
- 31:35Speaker 4: So of course, back then ninety of.
- 31:40Speaker 5: All of Russell Law on TV was all on cable,
- 31:44Speaker 5: so you had if you.
- 31:47Speaker 4: Didn't have cable, you.
- 31:48Speaker 5: Had limited access to Pro wrestling WWE. At the time,
- 31:53Speaker 5: WWS they had their Saturday.
- 31:56Speaker 4: And Sunday afternoon shows Superstars.
- 31:59Speaker 5: And Rust Win, and they had the occasional Saturday nights
- 32:04Speaker 5: the main event, and then wc W they had this
- 32:07Speaker 5: Saturday morning.
- 32:08Speaker 4: Show and as far as wrestling goes, that was it.
- 32:13Speaker 4: Everything else was on cable.
- 32:17Speaker 5: And I had to get the magazines and live like
- 32:20Speaker 5: cariatiously through the magazine to get my wrestling.
- 32:23Speaker 4: Fixed until I got cabled again.
- 32:27Speaker 5: At the time, there were multiple magazines, right, I mean
- 32:30Speaker 5: there was about four or.
- 32:32Speaker 4: Five different magazines, and now it's just one that being
- 32:36Speaker 4: Pro Wrestling.
- 32:36Speaker 5: Illustrated, which has been around since nineteen seventy nine and
- 32:42Speaker 5: is still a going. So yeah, I prefer the oldest
- 32:48Speaker 5: stars than now.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Me. I'm a little of both because like every era
- 32:56Speaker 1: like both like almost yeah, your.
- 33:01Speaker 2: First of all, like people want to ask there nowadays, son,
- 33:04Speaker 2: you first of all, this is generation to down soft
- 33:07Speaker 2: for the attitude ere y'all cannot handle the attitude are today?
- 33:13Speaker 1: Okay? Because when they pushed all, they pushed the hell
- 33:15Speaker 1: out of it.
- 33:16Speaker 4: You w W would get canceled that they had the
- 33:19Speaker 4: attitude era?
- 33:20Speaker 3: Oh definitely y'all.
- 33:21Speaker 5: You know that's another thing. I get asked, where is
- 33:25Speaker 5: your favorite era? And everybody says the attitude. I was like, no, Sea,
- 33:29Speaker 5: Golden Era, m it's not the attitude there because to
- 33:32Speaker 5: be honest.
- 33:33Speaker 7: The attitude ever was just stolen from ec W.
- 33:36Speaker 4: They just took their little spin on it.
- 33:44Speaker 3: You know what's amazing if.
- 33:46Speaker 4: He was a fan of your original e c W.
- 33:48Speaker 5: And you watch w W and you know the attitude
- 33:51Speaker 5: of it was drastically taken from ec W.
- 34:01Speaker 4: Wount had been in Ara two there. I can promise
- 34:04Speaker 4: you that.
- 34:08Speaker 1: I'll give you that now, did you listen?
- 34:11Speaker 5: Not forget some of their top talents during the attitude.
- 34:17Speaker 4: There came from e c W. The biggest stars, Stone Cooled,
- 34:21Speaker 4: Steve Austin, he was in e c W before going
- 34:25Speaker 4: to w W.
- 34:26Speaker 5: E the Doudy Boys, Nick Foley, Steve Richards, he was
- 34:33Speaker 5: the leader of the Rite.
- 34:34Speaker 6: To Censor, Karen.
- 34:37Speaker 4: Chris Jericho.
- 34:44Speaker 3: Okay, well, I'll tell you that.

- 35:00Speaker 2: I was gonna say, great, every every every like you
- 35:05Speaker 2: said earlier. If we had the ass era today and
- 35:08Speaker 2: well we canceled, y'all versus y'all wanna do is call
- 35:14Speaker 2: in right in and uh all this stuff, y'all like
- 35:19Speaker 2: they took that too far? They they did this. They
- 35:22Speaker 2: need that, y'all. Y'all, y'all can handle that.
- 35:27Speaker 1: M And what's.
- 35:29Speaker 2: Amazing to me is how come in the eighties y'all
- 35:33Speaker 2: loved w W in the eighties, y'all adored us. Y'all
- 35:38Speaker 2: locked us all the nineties and we said, man, look
- 35:41Speaker 2: forget them kids. We're gonna touch more adult product.
- 35:45Speaker 5: Now.
