3:27
Thank you for having me on your podcast.
3:30
It's very cool to be on here. You know, everyone loves a BJ,
3:35
dudes, love a BJ. Even even the ladies.
3:37
Love a BJ. Yeah, thank you, yes.
3:40
Well, listen, not only does everyone.
3:42
They love a BJ but you are the queen at least.
3:44
I say it every single time on commentary.
3:46
You are the queen of independent wrestling.
3:48
You know what I mean? It's unfortunate.
3:50
You know, you just manage Tommy of X but you know, you do, you
3:54
do make everyone around, you better.
3:56
They rise to the top of Divisions that are in, they get
3:58
title opportunities. It's not your fault or not
4:01
winning them. You know what I mean?
4:03
Yeah, I do so much sounds of their own personal skill.
4:07
I can only guide them so far. Exactly.
4:10
I feel you. I feel you.
4:11
One of the top managers in professional wrestling it's just
4:14
unfortunate. It just Tommy, you know what I
4:16
mean? I'm going to do his and now, you
4:18
know, well thank you, I appreciate that.
4:24
I love, I love and commentary. I pull a lot from like Old
4:30
school Bobby Heenan and old-school like, stuff like
4:34
this. Oh, Bobby was a heel.
4:35
But he also like, he wasn't just like a lot of commentary people,
4:39
and I'm not like saying it's a bad thing, everyone has their
4:41
own style, but I feel a lot of people pick the heel roll and
4:44
then they love every heal that comes out.
4:47
And they hate every baby face. I like to mix it up.
4:50
Like, if there's a heel stable, I'll find one person.
4:53
The stable I love and I say the rest are trash, like, I do.
4:56
I think it's just fun Dynamic. Yeah, I mean, that's So, that's
5:00
kind of my bit with you guys. I hate Tommy, but I love you.
5:04
Exactly. There you go.
5:06
And I feel like, that's how it really is with, uh, with most
5:10
most everyone. Yeah, I love Tommy, though, in
5:13
real life, he's amazing. He's, I he's, he's, he's
5:18
listening right now. The day has finally come.
5:21
When that we get to see Mary sit down with a BJ.
5:24
I love that. Oh, and Pete in the chat says,
5:25
leave Tommy alone. Well, he need update the profile
5:30
picture. Who is that guy?
5:33
That's a lot of old school pitching Pete.
5:36
Crazy Pete. But let's, let's, let's dial it
5:39
back real quick. When did you fall in love with
5:43
the world in the industry of professional wrestling?
5:47
So, I had a bit of a bit of a late bloomer.
5:51
I kind of had a little more conservative upbringing and so I
5:55
didn't really find rustling. I didn't really know wrestling
5:59
was a thing until I was in college.
6:01
Well, kind of my senior year of high school because I started
6:04
dating a guy in x Who's loved wrestling and I'm like, okay, I
6:10
guess I'll watch this to like Bond, you know, and then I went
6:14
away to college and I was like all by myself and going through
6:18
it in college, you know, your first year in college just
6:20
probably trash trash. I wasn't a party or so I don't
6:23
have anything to do on weekends. So I'm like, let me see what
6:26
this wrestling that he likes is all about started watching it
6:30
and something like just like clicked because I have a theater
6:35
background I've done theater my whole life.
6:38
I've been into fitness my whole life and like working out
6:41
staying active and sports and what have you later?
6:45
Just mainly theater in life but um, and then I saw this and I'm
6:49
like, oh my gosh, this is just extreme like stage combat.
6:55
It's like a soap opera, where they're squaring up and I love
6:59
everything about it. I just instantly was drawn to it
7:03
and I was spending all of my nights and weekends and College.
7:06
In wrestling instead of going out and making friends.
7:09
So cool. So you could have done.
7:12
And I just started, like, binging Beijing.
7:15
Beijing, WWE Network, at that's all I was doing watching, like,
7:18
everything. Like, oh my God, like, how did I
7:20
not know about this? Like, I mean, I, I guess I kind
7:23
of knew about it, but like just knew it was like fighting.
7:27
I didn't realize everybody knows.
7:28
Hulk Hogan, but you don't know. The story lines are exactly,
7:30
like, I don't know what wrestling is.
7:33
I know it's dudes throwing each other around, but like, I didn't
7:36
know anything else about it. But College just those Lonely
7:40
Nights in my dorm room and wrestling was Was what was there
7:43
for me and I just loved it, loved it and yeah, so I don't
7:50
know what you went to college for.
7:51
But what I met you used to be a doctor scientist scientist that
8:00
I went to school for biology. There it is.
8:04
Yeah. So that's that's where I first.
8:06
I first seen you on the scene as you were, you were a manager or
8:10
valet. What I would say more of a
8:11
manager because like valet He's I consider like Miss Elizabeth a
8:15
valet where she was just out there.
8:16
She was, she added to the story with facial expressions, but
8:19
that was about it. But like she didn't really get
8:21
involved like a manager or someone who's gonna mix it up
8:24
and do some stuff. So, I put you in the manager
8:25
category, I don't know how you, how you see that, but that's,
8:29
that's how I see it too. Yeah.
8:31
That's kind of how I've always seen it.
8:32
Like, I feel like the manager someone who's like getting very
8:36
like, pants on very act like actively involved in it, while a
8:39
valet still plays like a great role.
8:42
And can add to it by reacting and being that like that draw to
8:48
like, really get that, like, crowd behind a group sometimes,
8:52
you know, sometimes like just having a like lady or like
8:56
somebody like big and tough in a stable to just stand around.
9:00
Not not that, just like, it's fun, it's great.
9:04
Yeah, but I think what sets you apart and even from the first
9:08
day I seen you in the role to where you are now is you, you
9:11
are Or someone who, if you watch, you closely, you're doing
9:16
stuff that when nobody else is catching but you're still like
9:19
you. There's never an off switch.
9:21
What? Soon as you hit the curtain you
9:23
are, you are in it the entire time, like the facial
9:26
expressions, the things you're yelling.
9:28
Like I love when the Roman cams are turned up, just a hair, not
9:30
a lot heavy because I think sometimes when they mix audio
9:33
sometimes I put all the roving cams at 100 and then real hard
9:36
cams of 100 then commentaries on a hunter and everything smashes
9:39
together. But if the levels are set
9:41
properly which I love doing, Wrestling show.
9:43
A good manager with good audio. Can you can hear what you're
9:47
saying? And it's super entertaining.
9:50
Oh, yeah. Yo have probably heard some
9:52
stuff. Turn that off.
9:55
Yeah, oh my gosh, because I love talking smack to the crowd that
9:59
like, fuels me. It's just so much fun.
10:02
Yeah, I love it. Have you ever had a fan?
10:05
Have you been any want to get up?
10:06
Like, the, the old school? Like, Jimmy, Jim cornette, or
10:09
any manager stories? Were someone in the crowd?
10:10
Got a little too invested in And in what you were doing.
10:14
I've definitely had that before. I remember there was an outdoor
10:19
show and there was a woman holding like this newborn baby
10:22
and she was laying into me, and she was like, like, storm is up
10:27
to me. And I'm like, okay.
10:29
And then holding the baby. Yeah.
10:35
And if I pull that one out sometimes, but only if the baby
10:40
is actually a ugly, okay. It's a cute baby, huh?
10:42
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna and there was another time that
10:48
I there was almost a confrontation in the parking lot
10:52
because I was outside. And I had apparently said
10:55
something that Looks like misinterpreted I guess.
11:00
And the woman was very, very upset and almost squared up with
11:05
me. She started coming at me and her
11:07
friends had to hold her and remember what you said.
11:10
So what she thought, it was what you thought you said.
11:13
It's kind of a long story but I, what did I say?
11:18
I started something. So this woman talks so much
11:21
smack. I remember it clearly this woman
11:23
talks so much smack and so I love talking smack back to her.
11:29
And she was saying something about her son, my son was to
11:32
take you on a date. My son wants to take you on a
11:34
date and I looked at her, I looked at her son and I said,
11:38
that's your son. I can tell and I just walked
11:41
away. She took that personally because
11:46
apparently her son has a disability and I know that and
11:52
that struck a chord with her and but after her friends held her
11:57
back, one of her friends came up to me, explained the situation,
12:00
and I was like, yeah, like you're in character, you're
12:04
supposed to slyke just say something like, I don't know if
12:08
it was if that was a 70s, you didn't praise for it.
12:13
Man. And so I had exactly, like I had
12:16
such like mixed feelings and so I apologize to the woman for
12:21
the, like, the misunderstanding for all of that and I said, but
12:27
if you're if you talk smack, I'm gonna give it right back to you.
12:30
Yeah, good job. You know, involved, you involved
12:33
your son in this and so I thought that meant I could
12:35
involve him to and Yeah, so she was coming at me and she ended
12:40
up smashing cake in my face. Did you eat it?
12:46
We like, it wasn't bad. Yeah, there was like a whole
12:50
bunch of extra cupcakes to after that and I actually took like
12:53
they actually gave them to me and said you have them what
12:55
state was this in Pennsylvania, there's a PA, that's all it was
13:00
like. A little bit towards like the
13:04
Lancaster area. Okay.
13:07
Okay, that's crazy. I didn't know you were actually
13:09
fit. That honestly, though as a
13:11
manager, that's you have to have at least a couple though.
13:14
You have, you have to have the story where you're almost or
13:16
actually, physically assaulted. If that, if you that's like a
13:20
badge of honor, right? That's just what I was gonna
13:23
say. Like, that means I'm doing a
13:25
good job. That means I'm doing it, right?
13:27
That means I'm convincing. I'm Well, not even gonna hit
13:33
somebody that means I'm just a damn good heel.
13:35
You know. I'm like okay don't actually
13:40
hurt me and like just the threat of it is enough to like be
13:44
exciting. Yeah.
13:46
Question the chatter ready? Okay.
13:48
What did her son? Get that date.
13:52
He invited me to his. I think it's his Is either his
13:57
birthday or graduation. Did you go?
14:00
He gave me a card. It's like, still upcoming, I
14:03
can't remember what weekend it is, but I should go.
14:05
But you should definitely say, to the mother.
14:07
I can eat my own cake this time. I don't need to force feed it to
14:10
me, so good. Yeah, that and I had a face at
14:19
that company. So now it's like, yeah, well,
14:23
happy-go-lucky like me face. You're the face of runs the
14:28
place. So, when you track towards, who
14:32
were the people that when you started watching, you gravitated
14:34
toward immediate, like like when you watch on TV, like wrestlers
14:37
are even managers or valets. So I got to be honest and
14:43
everyone laughs at this everyone laughs at it.
14:46
But when I started watching wrestling, this was like 2015.
14:53
Stardust. There it is.
14:55
I loved Stardust. What is my Stardust Dragon?
15:00
Brought you in since? I'm so until theater.
15:03
I love like his costumes. His like out there, Port like
15:07
character, work and personality, and how he took everything that
15:11
like creative was giving to him and made it work.
15:15
You know, I and I just loved his story lies to they were, they
15:20
were fun, you know, So I he was like the first one that just
15:25
like stood out to me and I was like and his entrance song,
15:30
Banger. I feel the same way about gold
15:33
dust because when gold does first came out, like growing up,
15:36
I never got into, like, I was never a hulkamaniac.
15:39
I never was a warrior guy. Like, give me Macho, Man.
15:42
Give me Rowdy, Piper. Give me mr.
15:44
Perfect, like I loved characters over-the-top characters, and
15:48
then more The Attitude Era II mankind.
15:51
I love mankind. I love gold dust.
15:53
Like I just love a good gimmick exacts, 100% same and so start
15:59
us. That was hell's my first, my
16:01
first ever wrestling t-shirt is a star does t-shirt strange
16:05
right across the back. But speaking of what we got
16:07
going on here today, are you wearing Shrek t-shirt?
16:15
Where did you find this? Um, I think, like, wish or
16:20
something. What?
16:22
I was like, random websites that have the most obscenely like
16:26
absurd things. So I got ordered a t-shirt on
16:29
wish and it's Jesus, like over look like at the gates, like
16:33
overlooking, like down and it's just Macho, Man coming down, hit
16:37
the one, an elbow drop. But when they ordered it and
16:40
extra-large, it was like extra large, but not Tony extra large
16:43
so I can never wear it. So it's like, it's like a
16:46
regular person. Like yeah, it's like a Barbie
16:48
doll a Sure large I had sorry end up if I end up giving it
16:51
away, but here's a great idea. For everybody out there
16:54
listening, you have to order it you have to start this way late
16:57
because you can't do late gifts with this but Christmas time.
17:02
Get a group of your friends and do like a secret Santa, right?
17:05
But like plan this way ahead because wish takes forever to
17:08
ship, but everyone do secret Santa gifts but the rule is like
17:12
set a limit of like 20 30 dollars but every gift has to
17:16
come from wish. That is incredible because you
17:19
have no idea what you're going to get.
17:23
It could be. I've seen some crazy.
17:27
Rage own wish. Yeah, yeah.
17:30
But you might order a t-shirt but it may not be the T-shirt
17:33
you want, or the material, or you, think you ordered something
17:36
that's this big and it's this big.
17:38
The material of the shirt is the weirdest thing ever.
17:40
It's like almost like some athletically mesh wicking
17:45
material. Ya know.
17:47
It's like, I don't even know what eyes on the other shoulder
17:50
crack me up on this lot. Yeah, like, lift your arm up the
17:54
blows. Aah.
17:58
Yeah, it's amazing. So, transitioning from a fan and
18:02
then how did you end up becoming into the business and, and stuff
18:06
like that? Like how did you transition from
18:08
the fan to the, to being involved?
18:11
So it really was just kind of like, Same X was planning.
18:18
He somehow got like connected with some training place in
18:23
Maryland and he was planning on doing it.
18:27
And I was like, oh, that sounds really cool.
18:30
I think I want to do this too. I think I could do this, you
18:33
know, D etre. I'm I work out.
18:38
I feel pretty athletic. I'm like, might as well give it
18:40
a go. We ended up breaking up, but he
18:43
still went to training and I still did it.
18:45
Way too. And I mean it was fun but it was
18:49
just kind of like a hey this dude says he trains, you want
18:53
to, you want to train and I was like, sure I I had just like, I
19:00
don't know if it was before I moved back home but I ended up
19:04
moving back home from college and started training.
19:10
I just wanted to feel like that was, like, around a time that I
19:14
was trying to find things like after high school because High
19:17
School, I did Dieter I did like a million and a half.
19:19
Extracurriculars. And now, I had like college.
19:23
Sure, I worked. But like, what else was fun
19:26
going on? I was doing a little bit of like
19:27
music directing Stuff. But I was like, well, I need
19:30
something else and it just was an opportunity to literally just
19:36
laid out in front of me and I was, like, I'll take that.
19:38
Let's just do it now. Did you want to be a wrestler?
19:41
Did you know, you wanted to go to the manager side of things?
19:44
Like, where did you know, where did you want to fall into?
19:46
So initially, the goal was wrestling wrestler, I kind of
19:51
transitioned to. Well, it's kind of a long story.
19:56
I manage now because of Chronic health conditions.
19:59
I found that wrestling. A lot is just not conducive for
20:04
me like I can't which I could go into, but it's up to you
20:10
whatever you're comfortable with.
20:12
So yeah, I found I could train and But I have chronic
20:20
migraines, not just like chronic migraines every so often but
20:23
like, I am in pain 24/7. I have constant headache and
20:27
unfortunately, like, even just like one bump is enough to set a
20:33
flare-up since I always a constant headache is just called
20:36
Tommy maybe. Yeah.
20:42
No, that's something, my neurologist never suggested as
20:45
he met Tommy. Oh man.
20:49
But so but I love like, I love wrestling.
20:53
I love training and that was one of the really good things about
20:56
training with my trainer kokoa was he was very like could take
21:01
it my speed because I would have flare up sometimes and I would
21:04
be like so sick that I couldn't train or like maybe I could do a
21:08
little bit, but if I like went too far, like I would just be
21:12
out of commission for like the week, I'd be in so much pain.
21:17
So, We took it like my pace and so, that was awesome.
21:20
I was able to really start building up my wrestling skill
21:24
set and so in the meantime, I started managing because I could
21:28
at least still be involved while I train slower than most because
21:33
of my conditions. But then I found that I just
21:37
really love managing and since since wrestling like hurts.
21:43
I mean, yeah, it hurts no matter what but since it's literally
21:47
Early debilitating for me I tried to and I still want to do
21:53
matches so that's why I'll do like the occasional like
21:55
manager. Matt.
21:56
You know, but I just loved managing because I could still
22:00
be involved in all of my favorite aspects of wrestling
22:04
without necessarily having to put my body through that.
22:10
All you're not feeling your bum card up and crazy, but when you
22:14
it's honestly like Bobby, Bobby Heenan, you know, your You're
22:18
not always in the ring, you're not always active.
22:20
You're not always taking a bump, but when you do it means
22:23
something. Yes.
22:24
And that's that's also like what I want it to be.
22:27
I want it to mean something. So I want to do a good heal.
22:32
The payoff is always when you get your get a, when are you
22:36
getting your comeuppance like? Well you know I mean and and
22:39
then when it finally happens, everyone is closed.
22:41
Yeah, huh. And then you can build that,
22:44
right? Especially over like a series of
22:46
like, Events like different months, even at the same
22:50
company. If you can really build that,
22:52
it's just the biggest, most like, explosive pop.
22:56
You can get, I love it. I love building to these big big
23:01
moments. One of one of the ones that I
23:04
watched live, and then I went back and I clipped it and I was
23:07
like, like, editing and stuff. You took a door, spot hit.
23:12
Raph you folded like that. Look like it's suck. honestly,
23:18
like it wasn't as bad as a normal back bump, you'd be
23:23
surprised. I just adore, just gave out nice
23:26
down because it look like your head went by crushed it and
23:28
everything. Like it looked rough like It's
23:32
okay. It wasn't pleasant.
23:34
It was a freaking door. Yeah.
23:36
Door you're going through a door but like just the way I landed
23:40
I'm like you know that could have been worse.
23:43
Yeah. Like it looked as safe as it
23:46
could be going through a door but also like you took a really
23:49
good bump that day. Like, it looked really good.
23:52
That was a, that was a solid solid moment.
23:55
I mean not, I mean, I did go through a door but yeah.
24:01
So file, one of the things that I want to I like we're very
24:06
lucky in the Northeast seen to have such good managers we have
24:12
I mean and especially smash master and high tension there.
24:16
I personally think we have the best the best on the Northeast
24:19
Coast like a between you dust coach, you know?
24:22
I mean like there's no one better and they're at all three
24:25
years are ones that like, when the manager gets involved,
24:28
everyone fucking loves it. And it's good, you didn't mean
24:31
But with that being said, between you and I mean, you and
24:35
Coach have a lot of Smash stories going where you guys
24:38
back and forth and you have your spots where your square up, and
24:41
that's cool. But you, you had a moment late
24:45
last year pre-pandemic post pandemic, where you had a
24:48
storyline that carried over across, multiple promotions and
24:53
state lines, which in the independent scene is fucking
24:57
crazy. And if you guys are wondering
25:01
what we're talking about, there was a storyline where a manager
25:05
named big dust, who is amazing. He's absolutely amazing.
25:09
Once again, a theater person that jumped into wrestling knows
25:13
how to work knows, how to do everything, and just like Mary
25:18
and they put together an angle where you guys were going to.
25:22
They started. You said you started dating, and
25:24
then you were going to get married, and it was so
25:28
compelling because You guys were going on your own dime and on
25:31
your own money to meet each other in public and film bits
25:34
and skits, and put them online. And it was so captivating that
25:38
other promotions like, how do we book that and continue the story
25:41
in our promotion? How do we get it here?
25:43
How do we get it there? And that's, that's crazy that it
25:46
carried. And then I mean that's the magic
25:48
of the goons as well because they've had multiple storylines
25:51
on the independent. Like the joke is oh they got in
25:54
the pwi 500, that's bullshit but it's really not because there's
25:57
no one else on the independent scene who Are having stories
26:00
that connect. They cross into other
26:01
promotions. It just doesn't happen.
26:03
Like, continuous storylines, are honestly, like they, they really
26:08
are hard to find on the independent scene just because
26:12
Motors to want an allowed promote like stories to go to
26:15
other promotions. That's insane.
26:17
It's just that just doesn't happen.
26:19
This was honestly, just kind of something that us two groups
26:24
came together and we're like Let's do something really.
26:28
Yeah. What about this?
26:30
And we just took it and ran with it and just started adding
26:34
ridiculous idea on top of ridiculous idea.
26:37
Like it started with just this like putting a date like with me
26:41
on the line and then it like turn into this whole thing of
26:44
like falling in love. And then and then it was let's
26:47
get married and then it was like instead of actually getting very
26:50
let's let's have him justjust. Say it was a prank the whole
26:53
time. Just ridiculous, ridiculous.
26:57
We just have fun because we're buddies, you know like yeah
27:01
we're like in real life purpose buddies.
27:03
It honestly think we're buddies because I think we're buddies
27:07
and yeah, but it just goes to show like just taking a couple
27:10
moments to cut a promo but not just cut a promo.
27:14
Like I'm the but bit tough guy and I'm gonna beat you up next
27:17
Saturday at this gym. Like have fun with it and if
27:20
that's if you make fun, story lines and it makes something It
27:25
makes something but not only that is, it gets it gets you
27:29
booked at more places and then it also gets the people.
27:31
You care about book, The more places because it is like, how
27:33
do we bring all use involved in work here as well?
27:35
Because that's what promoters one, you know.
27:38
Yeah. And like, you'll see that, like
27:42
I said, a lot of Indie companies, they won't
27:44
necessarily have like a drawn out story line, so when you are
27:49
making a promo, like, make something obviously like make
27:52
sure it makes sense and like ruin it by the promoter, but
27:55
Like just make something that's that's what we did.
27:58
We just said, hey we have this idea and they're like, well that
28:01
let's do it. Mmm, that's all you gotta do
28:04
just and it doesn't have to be like this beautiful crazy idea.
28:09
It could just be something fun but it captivates because it's
28:13
different because everyone, like, you see, those promos up
28:16
just like, especially nowadays, just like sitting in a car and
28:20
say, I'm gonna beat you up on this date at this time because
28:24
I'm bad and your The good guy, make something of it, make like
28:28
a little skit out of it, make a story and just, that's that,
28:32
like, that's what I love about wrestling is like, you can make
28:35
it whatever you want it to be. It's just this amazing creative
28:38
outlet and me, loving theater loves the skids.
28:44
I'm all about that. Give me the crazy stories I
28:47
will. I will take it.
28:48
I will run. Yeah well that's one thing.
28:51
I started to do a little more now is filming some skits and B
28:55
and working with I want a little bit and it's so much fun to do.
28:58
Like I can I don't understand how wrestlers hate cutting Pro,
29:01
maybe it sucks doing the solo promo but like I think it's fun.
29:06
Honestly in the end the person I'm kind of I'm kind of battling
29:10
with a little bit, Ricky doing them.
29:12
He's fun to bounce off of like it's like I don't know, it's it,
29:16
they're really entertaining. I don't know.
29:17
I don't did you see the wondering?
29:18
He got me in the bathroom at smash, it was that which?
29:22
No, I haven't seen that one. Yeah, so Ricky finally got A
29:25
hold of me and dunk my head into a toilet.
29:27
I mean, you don't see it but the I'm walking in on the phone and
29:31
I go, I got it actually wasn't dumped in the toilet.
29:33
It was, it was completely dunked in and he beat me up.
29:36
But uh, I can't physically. Take bumps in front of people.
29:40
So this was our way of doing it without doing it because I have
29:43
to once again, I'm the bad guy here.
29:45
I have to get my come up, you know?
29:47
I mean like I can't physically do it in the ring, but so when
29:50
I'm taking I got walk, I go up right back.
29:52
I gotta take a shit when I open the door.
29:53
I'm like yeah, Rick, he's an idiot.
29:55
Gonna get away with this forever and Ricky's on top of the
29:58
toilet, I like on the handicap bars, like Spider-Man like this.
30:01
Like and then when I close the door I hear is that it's just
30:08
fun to shoot at shows. It's like I don't know, I wish
30:11
more people did it and it draws people in I watched, I am more
30:18
likely to watch like a promo video like that.
30:21
Then just a regular like front-facing promo.
30:26
Yeah, it's me. It's more fun.
30:28
And, and when people are invested in it, like that's what
30:31
sells a ticket because, like, I've seen promos, I'm like, I
30:34
want to go to that match, because that was really
30:37
entertaining. I want to see how it plays off
30:39
on the ring now. Yeah, exactly.
30:43
So we got some people, we got some stuff in the chat.
30:46
The Mary, the Mary Universe. That'd be.
30:48
That'd be a fun shirt. Maybe Jay, I miss you.
30:52
What else we got here? I'm a theater kid to which made
30:54
me want to get in as a manager but I'm just soup and just super
30:58
over with just over the top and I'm yeah, and I'm but a lot of
31:03
schools aren't just training managers.
31:04
They are. But yeah, a lot of people would
31:07
happens is I feel like and you can correct me if I'm wrong
31:09
Mary, but people go in thinking, they want to be a wrestler and
31:12
it's they realize it's hard or maybe it's not for them.
31:15
And then they then Fall into manager, are other arm referee
31:18
or whatever it may be. But it's if your passion is
31:21
manager of your passions referee, go to a wrestling
31:23
school and say, this is what I want to do, but how do I get the
31:26
best of that crap? I also learning a b and c.
31:29
Yeah, II hundred percent agree with that, I would say like
31:33
reach out. If even if they don't actively
31:35
advertise it, I I don't doubt that they would turn you away.
31:40
I think as a manager it's good to have some agreeing work
31:43
because you know, I like to get it.
31:45
Involved, it's good to know the flow of how like, you have to
31:49
understand wrestling to be a manager to because you have
31:52
spot. You got to know where you're at.
31:54
You gotta know how to work on the Fly.
31:56
You got to know all this stuff and to be able to do what the
31:58
wrestlers are doing. To just put you one step above.
32:01
So I think even if you feel like you can't do 100% one all
32:05
wrestlers do you don't have to be doing like crazy stuff like
32:09
superplex is off the top rope and like hurricanrana is and
32:12
whatever like you don't have to but if you just Reach Out, And
32:17
like even just say hey can I look show up and like watch like
32:21
training or something and then meet and talk to them and like I
32:25
guarantee there's there's a way to like fit you in.
32:29
Yeah. Absolutely.
32:31
I was at a show over the weekend and the entire show top to
32:33
bottom was amazing and the crowd was super into it and everybody
32:37
that was at there was not a bad match on the card.
32:40
But there was a spot in the beginning with the first couple
32:42
matches were very crowded involved and then there was a
32:44
couple of matches where it was more like the work rate spot
32:47
matches where it was just like craziness, but they kind of
32:50
forgot there was a crowd there and they didn't play to the
32:52
crowd but the crowd enjoyed what they were watching and they
32:55
reacted to the high spots. But everything in between would
32:58
just like spot to spot the spot to spot spot, no stopping no
33:01
selling, there were selling but not to the extent of like, oh my
33:05
God. Like look at the crowd.
33:06
Like I killed him like anything like that and then another
33:09
wrestler. I'm out.
33:11
Papa Don, and he immediately noticed that like for three
33:14
matches in a row, they didn't partake with the crowd at all,
33:18
and as soon as he went out, I hate all of you.
33:21
Boom. The craft.
33:23
Yeah, the crowd wants to be involved.
33:25
It's like karaoke, everyone shy. They want to be involved.
33:28
They want to yell. They want to get carried carried
33:30
away, but they also, they need you, they need the push, you
33:33
need to give them something to bring them in and as soon as it
33:36
happens, your golden, your match is over, like Going to be it's
33:40
going to be a blast because you stopped and played to the crowd
33:43
for a while even if a split second and they're into it
33:47
playing to the crowd. Can save you.
33:50
So many bumps I face a lot like so serious like like just taking
33:56
the time to talk to the crowd and tell your story.
34:02
Well they'll remember that. More than all those like running
34:06
back and forth. Big Move, Big Move Like sure
34:08
that they all were. Member like a really cool move
34:12
like every so often, like if there's a really cool move, but
34:15
if everybody's doing it, like like sometimes I see on shows
34:18
then that diminishes, but they will remember the person who was
34:21
yelling in their face telling them to shut up that because
34:24
that got them angry, that got them engaged and they remember,
34:27
they remember your face for next time because you were right
34:29
there. Hmm.
34:31
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely, and it makes for a
34:33
much easier match with what Rob's involves take, a quick
34:38
sidebar from wrestling. I actually have something
34:42
prepped, I have a little game. I have never done this on the
34:44
podcast. I mean we kind of done drafts
34:47
before where it's like you ever see when the podcasters do
34:50
drafts, and we each get it, we pick a topic and then we draft,
34:52
we pick off the draft but I think I think this is a fun and
34:58
more fun game. We're from the same generation
35:00
like but remember, F marry kill. Yeah.
35:03
All right, we're going to play up.
35:05
Marry kill. And we're going to play two
35:06
rounds. Okay.
35:08
All right. So I need Need, I need the, I
35:10
need. What you're going to f-----,
35:11
where you're going to marry, and what you're going to kill.
35:14
And I'm not going to say what the topic is, I'm just gonna say
35:17
what they are and you're going to get it.
35:18
Are you ready? Okay.
35:19
Here's your first one. F marry kill teenagers.
35:24
Black Parade. I'm not.
35:27
Okay. for those who don't know, Mary is a giant, My Chemical
35:34
Romance fan What are you going to marry F and what are you
35:41
going to kill? That's really hard.
35:45
Okay, the next one, I'm not okay because I have overplayed that
35:51
song, okay, million times in my youth.
35:54
So I'm pretty sick of it at this point.
35:56
All right. I'll marry black parade because
36:00
it's just a classic that has been there for me.
36:03
My whole life, very like stable, You know?
36:08
And then I'll ask teenagers because that song gets me hyped
36:11
and you know, yeah, yeah. That I don't know why.
36:14
No one's using that. As an entrance music.
36:17
It has such a good guitar riff. Yeah, I love teenagers.
36:21
I get I get real hype to that song.
36:23
Like if I'm I was at a show and like some random opener decided
36:28
to cover that and I lost my mind because I wasn't expecting it.
36:31
I'm like what My Chemical Romance, I don't know where and
36:34
I was like the only one like losing my freaking mind.
36:37
Hi. I remember there's two albums
36:39
that I showed my dad, because obviously, like my dad's very
36:44
open-minded with music, but like, it was, it was tough to
36:46
get him involved in, like, my Punky most stuff.
36:49
And there's two albums that that's going to be taken out of
36:52
context. What?
36:54
Oh, you said you would eff teenagers?
36:57
Yeah, that's getting fucked. We're Castle.
37:10
I presented that you picked it. I'm just, that's amazing.
37:15
Um, but yeah, I told my dad these two I showed my dad these
37:20
two albums and I said both these albums are like concept albums.
37:22
He's going mean I said there's a bigger story than just the music
37:25
like it's a continuation. There's a theme to it like and
37:28
the two albums, I showed him was the black parade and when Green
37:32
Day came out with American Idiot.
37:35
And and he bought those albums. He was like, these are really,
37:39
really good. Like he enjoyed Balto's albums
37:42
and like there are two albums. I always tell people, like if
37:44
you're not into that genre just listen to them but they're an
37:46
album. You have to listen to front to
37:47
back. There's a story the whole way
37:48
through. Yes, that is one of the reasons
37:51
why I Love My Chemical Romance so much is because stemming back
37:54
to theater. There's it's like a story.
37:57
You can listen to every song and it's like a whole movie in your
38:00
head from start to finish and it just continues on to each.
38:04
Other and build each other. What was that weedon cambrie.
38:07
Are you find of though? I've heard of them sold their
38:12
whole store, like their albums, continue to one thing and the
38:16
whole, every from what I've been told, they have a graphic novel,
38:19
one comic book based on it, but every album is a story of this
38:22
disease, this couple. And it's like their relationship
38:24
as it continues. Wow, I love, I love albums like
38:30
that. I love him so much.
38:32
Yeah, all right. Next one.
38:33
Oh god let's hope I don't, that's how.
38:36
I don't know. Yeah Elena.
38:39
Okay I do. Love you.
38:41
Nah. Nah, nah.
38:46
Again. Okay so I'll marry hellena
38:49
again. That's another like it's been
38:51
there for me. So that's everyone's
38:53
introduction to my Camp. You know, I don't love you and
39:00
nah. Nah nah, I don't know.
39:04
I'll kill. No.
39:06
No, I'll kill. I don't love you.
39:08
Not for some reason that's never been this on the top of my list.
39:13
It's I was torn between, I don't love you and Mama.
39:15
I was in a pool. Okay, if you put mama in that
39:18
would have been it right there. I would have married that one
39:20
and after that one and kill the rest because yeah, it's like top
39:24
tier. But I guess that leaves what
39:26
Nana friend forever you know that's all it's a pagan song.
39:31
I'd said it is. So what other emo bands are you?
39:34
Are you a big fan of what's on the playlist?
39:38
I say if Ian Bush was watching this right now, he would yell at
39:42
me because he's, like, he always calls you goth, and I said
39:45
they're two different things because he says, my music isn't
39:48
real emo and because he's one of those like nishimoto fans.
39:53
So, so, pardon me my, like, big emo bands, like, if we're like,
39:59
grouping it into like so, My Chemical Romance, obviously, um,
40:04
let's see, I used to be big into Panic, not So Much Anymore.
40:10
But if his intro to my chemicals was Ghost of You, it's a good
40:13
song. Wow.
40:15
Music video. Mmm, amazing.
40:21
What was I saying it? Oh, panic.
40:23
Panic at the Disco? Yeah, I saw them like four times
40:28
it. So I'm like I'm tired of him
40:30
now. Fall Out Boy.
40:32
Fall Out, Boy, I seen them live. That was really good.
40:35
I seen them also like forcing them Green Day and Weiser.
40:38
ER, IC. Weiser agreed that I saw Green
40:41
Day for the first time has passed somewhere at Firefly.
40:44
Yeah, these are so good. Weezer, I saw them a few years
40:48
ago, they were awesome. They were so good.
40:50
They don't have a wrestling lyric.
40:53
What is it? Because II feel like I remember
40:56
it is Grand show. He says, watching a lake leg.
40:59
Press new Jack through a oppressed table.
41:02
Okay. Yeah, listen to Joe.
41:03
Joe Sam, I heart Phi, and then my heart fell, all in, love all
41:06
over again, it's like that. But yeah.
41:08
New Jack is in a song like yeah, man.
41:14
Just blink how I was in there. Pop punk.
41:16
But I love Blink-182. That's probably that's the first
41:20
band where I was like. This is like my First bands,
41:24
when I went for my dad's music to my own it was blink and
41:27
Lincoln Park. Linkin Park's, I love Lincoln
41:31
Park, I love hip-hop. Yeah and I was posted they were
41:34
they did two shows together. There were going to do one show
41:37
in New York and they're going to do one show in Hershey.
41:39
It was called Lincoln Park. That was the name of that was a
41:41
to show tour. I had tickets, I had them for a
41:45
year in advance. Show was on a Friday.
41:48
Tuesday, Chester takes his life. I was devastated.
41:52
David Mann, yeah Chester, yeah, that won't man.
42:00
I've seen Blake this summer again.
42:03
I've only seen them. I seen them once.
42:05
But I'd like to see them again and you're seeing like blink
42:08
back like this is Jess. I saw blink before they toured
42:13
with My Chemical Romance back in like 2011, I was literally in
42:16
like 7th or 8th grade in this pit of all college kids with my
42:20
Chemin blank. Tom was The band at that point,
42:23
then I saw them when they have Matt, skiba joined and they
42:27
toured with. I think a day to remember that
42:29
was pretty cool and now now that Tom's back.
42:34
Yeah, man. It's crazy how motivated they
42:37
are. Now I actually found out like
42:40
later on that they weren't ever supposed to be a band.
42:43
Like that was a project, like they all just got together.
42:45
They were going to do a project album and that was it.
42:48
And then it just picked up and they just kept going.
42:50
And that's why they always did like like Box Car Racer and my
42:53
Angels and Airwaves because they always just like we wanted to
42:56
take Pearl music and then have different projects, like +44.
43:00
My heart starts beating. Oh my gosh.
43:01
Yes, you just like Memories. I would that would be my intro
43:07
music. Connecting people through
43:20
wrestling hanging out. In the chat.
43:23
So here's a fun thing you ever see when you're watching
43:25
wrestling. Do you ever see that yellow
43:27
frame that people hold up in the crowd?
43:29
It looks like a picture frame and it's bright yellow and has
43:32
Red Riding. Hey, yeah, that's him.
43:34
He goes to a whole bunch of shows all over the country and
43:37
his signs always get on TV. He had wanted to make sure
43:40
through wrestling and then the other sizes connecting people to
43:42
reggae really cool, dude. Oh, he's at he's at he's in l.a.
43:47
right now at the superstore, he's saying.
43:49
But yeah really, really cool guy and huge.
43:52
Wrestling fan. That's so cool.
43:55
I'm in the minority majority but I can only enjoy blink when
43:58
Marcus on vocals. I love Mark vocals but I also
44:01
like toms and I understand how people can hate Tom's vocals,
44:04
but it's a unique taste. Yeah, yeah, I like unique vocal.
44:08
So that's why absolutely until like like Queen like Freddie
44:11
Mercury? Yeah, osmund in your closet.
44:15
I can't even speak at. But when he sings that comes
44:17
out, I've seen Ozzy. I have seen Ozzy.
44:21
I swear I was in like, Middle or Elementary School?
44:23
My mom, huge. Like it is the reason why I'm
44:26
into like music like this. She is going to go.
44:29
See Ozzy and had another ticket to bring like a friend, but she
44:33
was like, you want to come? It's like, yeah.
44:36
So here I am. Like, I don't know.
44:38
I must have been like 11 or 12 in like my little like colored
44:43
skinny jeans and the youngest person there, the devil now, I
44:48
think, oh my God, I was like, And like the intro screen set,
44:54
like, Ozzy was doing. I don't, you know, like before
44:57
the show starts, I sometimes have like, little clips and
44:59
stuff like his, his big buildup. Like I don't, I don't know why,
45:04
but he was through that movie spoofs and he did one with
45:07
Avatar. Like, you know, the big blue
45:10
one, blue people. I don't know I've ever seen a
45:12
pitar but I just remember, no waste your time.
45:15
Massive. So long massive bloosh long as
45:19
he was like this like Supposed to be like one of the avatars I
45:23
just I guess that's a joke because they're like massive
45:26
people or whatever and here I am eleven like out with my mom and
45:31
I'm like she's like my eyes so the band I've seen more than any
45:39
other band and I don't know how it always happens but either one
45:42
of my favorites. I love Steel Panther.
45:44
Have you ever seen steel panther live?
45:46
I've never seen Steel Panther. Have you ever heard of Steel
45:48
Panther? Yes, I've heard of yeah, okay.
45:50
They are Such a good time live. I think they played in Philly,
45:56
nice to my buddies are on tour of them right now.
45:59
They're the opening band for steel, they've done it twice.
46:02
Now, that's pretty, they're called, they're called Crobat,
46:04
but they're on tour with them right now.
46:06
They were on Jericho screws and then maybe two or three shows
46:10
ago, Jericho showed up at the show and got on stage with both
46:14
of them in performed. That's so cool.
46:16
I was like fucking hang out Jericho.
46:19
They know I'm like, Giant wrestling fans are like What the
46:21
hell? Yeah, that is really cool.
46:24
Yeah. So besides pro wrestling and
46:29
music any, what else are you into?
46:32
What are the things that help you pass the time.
46:34
Oh my gosh. So yeah.
46:36
You know music that is a huge part of my life.
46:40
I've got my keyboard. I've got my Oregon.
46:42
I've got like guitars. I've got everything love music,
46:46
but arm. Sorry, I like shake it.
46:49
I like laughs. Okay.
46:55
I love animals. I that's why I studied biology,
47:00
like I've Loved animals, my whole life.
47:02
If I wasn't currently pursuing wrestling, as hard as I am right
47:08
now, I would probably have, like, I would want to be a
47:14
animal keeper of sorts at like a zoo or aquarium.
47:17
Because I've done that, I did that in the past.
47:19
I worked helping train some animals at the National
47:23
Aquarium. It was So cool.
47:26
Would you work with? I worked with like the whole
47:30
bunch of different animals, but like the ones where we would go
47:33
out and do the little like talks and do a little, like,
47:36
enrichment activities for guests to watch.
47:39
So stuff from macaws two tortoises two, skanks just like
47:44
boa constrictors. Okay, thanks I you know, I
47:48
couldn't do snakes until I started working there and then
47:52
you very quickly learn How to handle stuff like that.
47:57
And there's no, there's no like warning to when they're gonna
48:01
like I'll anything. You just that's the thing.
48:05
You just it's a lot of training to understand their signs and to
48:09
understand how to like approach them.
48:11
So that way they don't freak out.
48:14
We just had we had a whole system and I'll have to like see
48:17
if I can find a picture because there's pictures of me with the
48:20
boa constrictor wrapped around my waist me holding on, because
48:22
that's how we would hold them for presentation.
48:24
And he would just hang out around my waist and they weren't
48:27
even constricting. I had to like, hold these heavy
48:30
ass snakes up, because they were, they were lazy.
48:32
They think we're just a warm tree the other.
48:34
Like, okay, I'll just hang out here because I know you're not
48:38
going to hurt me and I'm fed and taken care of.
48:42
So I don't really care. I did a beer podcast with a guy
48:45
and something else. I like, yeah, we're gonna do
48:48
that that he, and he lived up in New York and he his job was like
48:53
a reptile guy. He would take Will be, he would
48:55
do schools or like he had tortoises, he had tons of snakes
48:58
and lizards and we went. And he had a snake that he
49:02
brought out and it took like three of them to bring the snake
49:04
outside. That's how long it was if you
49:07
would have laid me head to toe and cloned me, it would have
49:10
taken for of me to fill this Niche.
49:14
He was it was fucking he. It was almost like I've ever
49:16
touched and they're like are you going to touch it?
49:18
I said yeah. And I like oh yeah the guts, I'm
49:19
like he's a mile-long. If I touch his tail he's not
49:23
going to get around quick enough to get Me, you know, I mean
49:25
there's a big dreams, a big fat boy but he had anacondas, he had
49:29
all these different pythons he had snakes in his a bit.
49:31
You it's out. You were dead.
49:35
Yeah it was it was really, really cool but that's a close I
49:38
ever got the snakes but I'm not a, not a huge snake person but
49:43
one animal I would like to like just chill it for a day.
49:48
One of them is a baby version because I think they're just if
49:51
I can just keep that animal in a small baby version and have it
49:54
as a Pet. I would it be a bear like bear
49:56
cubs. Oh my gosh.
49:58
You just wrestle them? You don't leave me.
50:00
Like just another little bit. Yeah, like, they'll fight you.
50:03
They're really cool till I get hanging yourself.
50:08
Oh my gosh. You know.
50:10
I agree especially like baby penguins are not when they're
50:13
all like fuzzy and fluffy. Yeah.
50:15
Really. I taught Chase Mary.
50:17
Yeah. Mary Riley's kid Iwata like a
50:21
penguin at him and he Waddles back at me.
50:25
That is awesome content right there.
50:28
Yeah every time I say my do penguin and went through crab
50:31
and I won and then he does it back.
50:33
That's so and he could use his shoulders up.
50:35
He's, he's so cute. Oh my gosh.
50:38
He's a cute little thing. Yeah, another animal.
50:42
That would be cool to have a capybara.
50:45
The hell's that Hey BJ. You don't know what is it?
50:51
I know it is the world's largest rodent.
50:54
Okay, they are go to the share and they say the well, the
50:58
biggest rat and it's just one of those.
50:59
Yes. Yes, you're so cool.
51:05
They're so they just have like other animals like pay no mind
51:10
to them. Like I just wish I had like
51:13
science. I wish scientists can figure out
51:14
a way to take animals but they never leave the like adolescent
51:18
phase where they just stay that tiny face forever.
51:22
Yeah, they just stay babies forever.
51:24
Yeah, they tried that with dogs and then you have like some
51:26
crazy ass breeds out there. Nowadays like these miniature
51:30
labradoodles and all these other crazy dogs.
51:34
Yeah. If you can just like give me a
51:36
tiger but it never gets the size of like a small dog forever.
51:41
That's why I love Caymans you know, because crocodiles I love
51:45
crocodiles and alligators Caymans Thanks Mom.
51:50
They're like, literally like little baby guys.
51:52
Yeah, they say small, but they're feisty.
51:57
We have questioned, the chat. Who is Mary's?
51:59
Favorite. TNA Knockout from the lat, from,
52:01
from the last, I guess the last generations.
52:03
And what did she think of Velvet Sky?
52:07
I love Mickie, James. She's been doing a lot in TNA
52:11
and I I just absolutely love her work and I just saw that she's
52:16
announced for a show. That I'm on upcoming Maryland.
52:22
Yeah, with MCW. So I am really excited for that
52:26
because I've never, I've never worked a show.
52:29
I worked a show with her nor I haven't honestly, I haven't kept
52:33
up with TNA a lot recently and I know stalkers, we have like two
52:37
friends in TNA, right? Like like Ace GM and Marsha are
52:42
all in TNA, right? Yeah, that yeah.
52:44
So I'll see like Clips on Twitter from like, what people
52:47
like People retweet and what like, Marshall post and what
52:51
have you? But I also, I dig Velvet Sky.
52:56
I love her work and I love her. Look, I I love her hair.
53:03
I love when she has those like chunky like blond, like
53:06
highlights. I things that are like, so like
53:09
2000's. I love it like her, who I just
53:14
met from TNA over the weekend and she's the coolest fucking
53:17
person I've ever known. A couple weekends ago Soo Yung
53:21
that's she's awesome. She's so cool.
53:25
I've heard I know a lot of people that have worked closely
53:29
with her and I've said very similar things that she is just
53:32
so cool. Are you familiar with what this
53:35
promotion Capital championship wrestling?
53:38
I think that's. Yeah, they're working 1cw.
53:42
It's an all-women's promotion. You just see the people they
53:44
bring in their it's fully stacked.
53:46
Oh my gosh, all the time. It's a young that she was with
53:49
the, she was with the person who was with that promotion and I
53:52
was like, yeah I might I might take her trip out there one
53:54
weekend I see a show because they have a lot of really cool
53:56
people out there. They do, they really do and they
53:59
got what have to? I might have, I'm not booked
54:00
that weekend, that Mickie James at that show.
54:02
I might be, you might see a BJ In The Crowd.
54:05
Oh, it's going to be a huge, huge shindig.
54:08
I think it's in July, I don't know, you'll see it all over my
54:12
Facebook on a sure. You keep making is very high.
54:15
I think Mick. He's one of the best female
54:17
wrestlers to ever do. Do it.
54:18
Oh my gosh, 100%. Yeah she was way ahead of her
54:21
time. Way ahead of her time and she
54:23
doesn't get the respect she deserves.
54:25
But and then the last thing we'll get into, I guess, like
54:29
will say, like, your shoe job is your lucky like your beer,
54:33
you're a big Beer Drinker, I'm a big Beer Drinker.
54:36
What's your style? What's My Style?
54:38
I right now I'm really into sours t.i. hits hours really
54:43
heavily when they first were hot and now I can't really drink him
54:46
as much anymore. It's as heartburn like I
54:48
Literally have heartburn just saying stylist.
54:50
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's ours. Definitely flare it up for me
54:55
but my gosh, they're my favorite pair night.
54:58
What Brewery do you like there's hours?
55:03
You know, i-i've just been trying a whole bunch.
55:06
I don't have anyone like sour that I don't buy beer right now.
55:12
Considering I work at a brewery and get all my beer for free.
55:15
So I'm exactly time, we're booking the same show.
55:17
If you ever bring beer to a show I will be beside.
55:20
You know, I should have remember that because honestly I get Not
55:25
to brag but I get a crap ton of free beer for my job and Tommy
55:30
never came across the the Mountain Dew once again yet.
55:34
I can't, I've never seen them. I've got some bring the next.
55:42
I want to be all hyped up on Mountain Dew.
55:47
Oh yeah yeah I haven't heard them yet.
55:51
Yeah bro brand of the show and we'll record a beer review.
55:56
Let's do a beer review because I want to start doing be review
55:58
content but we can cross over and do be reviews at the show.
56:05
Seven, you're done. Working, of course.
56:07
Yeah. There you go.
56:08
Yeah, so I have like one of the coolest jobs in the Brewing
56:12
industry. I work in sensory which means I
56:16
get to literally help people taste beer and say it is good or
56:20
bad. And I mean, I do a lot of like
56:24
the science behind it, like all the data, all the but it is so
56:29
cool so I can help with the describing of the profiles you
56:34
know because I'm all about that, you got to evaluate it properly,
56:39
you know, the aroma the flavor, the mouthfeel, you know.
56:45
You're gonna do it right? Okay yes so I love now that it's
56:50
cool for breweries to make loggers and pilsners like that's
56:53
my favorite style and for a while like it's weird not make
56:56
those were making sours and Stouts and porters.
56:58
I've some ideas. It's like double triple
57:02
quadruple squared to the fifth power IPA Second tier 2 sours
57:13
like a good go-to lager. You know, one of these weekend's
57:17
you got to come out to Devon's Brewery and Pottsville I've
57:21
wanted to go to his Brewery ever since I saw he was opening it so
57:24
much fun. I've been to Yuengling I like
57:27
Yingling getting in his goodness of Maryland's.
57:30
Really nice. Oh yeah, I I love it there.
57:35
I grew up literally right down the street from there, so I
57:38
would just go there when they first opened.
57:40
Do they still make the block? Yes, you can never find it
57:44
anywhere. I love the blond.
57:46
That's what that's one of my favorite beers.
57:48
I would say because it's, like equal parts, hop equal parts,
57:51
multi. Hmm, it's so perfect, it's
57:53
beautiful and it has a Maryland flag on it and me being from
57:57
Maryland. Crab stew.
57:58
Maryland Flags aren't everything.
58:00
I have to be very prideful. I almost wore my Guinness crab
58:05
shirt to this, but I decided the Shrek's.
58:07
Our shirt was a little bit more. Maryland is The only state where
58:13
they put their law, their flag, literally on everything.
58:18
Like, I feel like if you hooked up with a chick from Maryland,
58:21
she probably has Maryland underwear.
58:23
Like I feel like it's a thing. I think everyone in Maryland,
58:26
has Maryland underwear and if they don't they should, you
58:29
know, I'm writing that down right now.
58:33
I thought you were gonna say what it's true for me that I
58:38
have the flag above my bed right now, the Maryland Lack of of
58:41
your bed, like I do you salute? It every morning.
58:44
I'm proud to be an American and Tom jokes, that That like
58:53
marylanders are very proud full of Maryland but they all leave
58:57
Maryland and then are like, Marilyn suppose?
59:01
Mary Elizabeth was like why don't you live in Maryland?
59:03
Like what I crave Marilyn, I still miss Marilyn.
59:06
Okay. Yeah.
59:09
If Mary if you can wrestle anywhere in the world where
59:12
would it be? Japan.
59:20
Japan. I more recent my best friend
59:24
right now is currently living in Korea and so and she sent me a
59:29
picture of the other day that there was like a flyer for like
59:31
a wrestling show in Korea. And I was like, wow.
59:35
Like that's, I never like, that's so cool.
59:38
Like, because I'm planning on visiting her.
59:40
I didn't really think about that.
59:41
I was like, I should go, I should go travel and I should
59:45
travel. And if I like traveling to Korea
59:48
for, like, to visit, like I'm Like maybe I could see about
59:51
getting on Rescue shows and then I thought I'm like, I just want
59:54
to wrestle everywhere and then I thought about New Japan and I've
59:57
been working a lot with like, Kevin Kelley recently and just
1:00:02
seeing all new Japan. I haven't really been.
1:00:06
As I haven't really followed New Japan, but more recently, I've
1:00:10
been seeing it a lot more and more because of working with
1:00:13
Kevin, and so, just seeing all that I'm like, wow, that would
1:00:17
be so cool and too. Experience, a different Atomic.
1:00:21
Get out of here. I don't want to see that.
1:00:25
He's so mean to me, but it would be so cool to work.
1:00:29
So weird, especially in front of an audience that it's a
1:00:33
different kind of wrestling environment, a different kind of
1:00:36
culture, you know, if there are similarities, but it is
1:00:39
different. And I feel like, expanding your
1:00:43
abilities by like working at all these different kinds of fun
1:00:45
environment. I just, I just want it, I want
1:00:48
it. I want to stay out there for a
1:00:49
while. While wrestle Australia.
1:00:53
I've always wanted to go to Australia because they're
1:00:55
animals. Scott, Scott is one of the only
1:00:58
human beings who buys a BJ merge.
1:01:00
And there's a BJ merch walking around Australia right now.
1:01:02
That's incredible that I'm International.
1:01:04
There's here you are. You're an international
1:01:06
Superstar if if you can manage someone else in the world, but I
1:01:12
will say TV independent, anybody who are some people besides
1:01:16
Tommy that you would like to take under the Marybeth Wang,
1:01:19
bold of you to assume that I would even pick him.
1:01:25
Are we talking like independency nor?
1:01:28
Let's do, let's do a little mix. Okay, TV, people are independent
1:01:32
people, I'll Circle. Do you think he would mesh with
1:01:35
and then who do you think you would bring more to the table
1:01:37
with that character, okay? So I'll start with what my go-to
1:01:45
always is because I feel like I don't know if you're very
1:01:49
familiar with my work with MCW but I have kind of a darker
1:01:52
character there. I managed clay Jacobs there your
1:01:55
part of like a like a cult family.
1:01:57
Yes, exactly. And I love that kind of dark
1:02:00
character and I love Rhea Wrigley.
1:02:06
I mean who doesn't? I just think that like the
1:02:10
because I really enjoy these dark characters but also a
1:02:12
little bit of goofiness. I think that were like meshed
1:02:15
perfectly. She doesn't need a manager but I
1:02:18
feel like like the current stable that they have going
1:02:20
right now, something like that. If I could be involved in and I
1:02:24
feel like we could both. I would just uh you see Mania.
1:02:28
Of course of course, did you see what happened to Finn when you
1:02:31
get hit with the ladder? Oh my gosh.
1:02:34
Like they really do, they what they did is they hit him with
1:02:37
numbing gel. They put numbing gel on us, like
1:02:39
they literally pulled aside real quick.
1:02:41
So that whole time, Edge was walking around pool weapons
1:02:43
stuff out. They shot him with a needle and
1:02:46
stapled his head. All they stapled it because I
1:02:50
had nowhere else and then they just cover it with Vaseline and
1:02:52
sent them back in. I was thinking, like maybe they
1:02:55
could just like super glue, it or somethin.
1:02:57
Are you ever see? Like the things they do now,
1:02:59
like if you get shot they put like this gel in you and it
1:03:02
blood clots. That's why I thought that used
1:03:05
because it stopped bleeding immediately.
1:03:07
But no, they hit him with blood, clotting shots and then stapled
1:03:10
his head mid-match. I don't raise E.
1:03:12
I kind of wish it wasn't PG rating because that would have
1:03:17
been fun. He wouldn't I, don't know II.
1:03:19
It was not available on it was to open.
1:03:22
It was way too open. Hey II don't like to the Cody
1:03:24
Rhodes, Dusty Rhodes, Dusty, Dustin, Rhodes match when they
1:03:28
just went at it and it was just bread.
1:03:31
Mmm. Yeah, I mean I think they would
1:03:32
have let him go. He would have probably had to go
1:03:34
to a hospital. It was like the gushing.
1:03:37
Yeah. It was crazy.
1:03:40
Yeah. She's really from their home
1:03:42
state. Yeah, tell him.
1:03:43
I said hello hiding. Never watches wrestling but when
1:03:49
re is on TV, she just stops and she's just like, yep.
1:03:55
Ray has a very, very, very distracting but she's probably
1:03:57
my favorite female on the planet right now.
1:04:00
He's in crew, so good her and I think her and Charlotte had One
1:04:04
of the best female matches in WB history.
1:04:06
That was so good. They beat the shit out of each
1:04:08
other and that's what I like to see.
1:04:10
Yeah. I like to see two women just
1:04:12
going at it like you know, you know, who does that on the
1:04:15
scene. And I don't think she gets
1:04:17
enough credit because she is a comedy character, but she can
1:04:19
turn it up and work Strong Style and just beat the hell out of
1:04:22
people. Oh my God, Eric Ali.
1:04:27
Yes, she's so good. That would be fun.
1:04:34
I would never want a wrestler because I feel like she would
1:04:35
legit kick the shit out of me. He would be fun to manage.
1:04:39
She's someone who doesn't need a manager.
1:04:41
But someone that I feel like the two of us together with just
1:04:45
one, isn't she doing a whole thing where she's against the
1:04:48
goons? Oh, yeah, Frick.
1:04:50
So, what about you team up with her?
1:04:54
And you are and you helped her with him to work with Erica lie,
1:05:01
seriously? Erica.
1:05:04
If you're watching this, I'm flipping this clipping this and
1:05:07
post them at. Girl, let me join gummibar
1:05:11

1:05:20

1:05:43
reviews. Okay.
1:05:45
I had I had I have a I have custom beer music that less dear
1:05:49
me. So like the intro music that you
1:05:51
heard here that he made me one for the horror movie, he may be
1:05:54
one for the pop culture and he made me wonder for a beer
1:05:55
content coming up. So I have all this intro music
1:05:59
that I want to use. I just got to make the content
1:06:00
to do it. Alright, well put me in coach.
1:06:05
Yeah, I'm ready. Well, let some people in the
1:06:07
chat. You have one more opportunity
1:06:08
for some questions Hunter has one here.
1:06:11
He says my trademark question. If you can write a letter to a
1:06:14
younger Mary Elizabeth, what would it say?
1:06:19
I think it would say, something about like, just go for it, you
1:06:27
know, stop caring so much about what other people think it's
1:06:30
only going to hold you back from so much like Now I'm finally
1:06:37
realizing that at 25 years old that, I don't need to like care
1:06:41
about what other people think, so much and let it like dictate
1:06:44
my life. I let it dictate so much of my
1:06:46
life as a child not not necessarily child.
1:06:48
Teenager high school even College.
1:06:51
You know I would definitely say just just do you do you and be
1:06:57
genuinely you and don't give a single heck about what other
1:07:01
people think? I mean within reason don't do
1:07:05
anything. Illegal.
1:07:06
Yeah, just do you and you'll be happier, you know.
