  Speaker 2: that we've been dropping, people really been responding.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: And saying, got some traction on them.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Something I definitely noticed is wrestling fans.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Are different, Bro, They're different.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've spoken on music a lot, and usually
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the music conversations go a certain way, but it's always lighthearted,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. We talk about sports, same thing.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: They always go a certain way as far as the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: way people talk about it with us, but it's always
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: lighthearted and it's always you know, a little fun convo.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Now, the wrestling fans take take this stuff to the heart. Bro.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: We spoke on wrestling, it wasn't feeling our takes them
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: boys was calling us out our names.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah real.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We was having to like approver or denied comments because
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: like the services, you know, the social media services was
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: telling us, hey, this is a hate comment. Would you
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: like to even read it? You know what I mean?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Like they were protecting us from the hate speech.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: We had some actual professional wrestlers comment out.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: We struck a nerve.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Ricochet Man new Ae w see. He's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: been over there for a little minute now, but he's
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: fairly new to that promotion. He definitely pulled up to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: our Instagram and let us know that even if we
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: try to be professional, we could never hack it, which
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: is like, okay, bro, you know.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You got that. You're Russia.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not a wrestler. I can't speak on it, you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. But it's funny that like it
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: touched the nerve with him because we wasn't even talking
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: about him and the clip, the clip that he reacts
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: too was a clip of us talking about basically that
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: when we watch wrestling, we want to see athletes. We
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: want to see people that look strong, people that look impressive.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We want to feel like when we're watching wrestling, this
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: is not a thing that we can just do, like
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: we could hop out of bed and do it, you
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Just visually how it looks, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the things that they're doing and everything and he made
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: his comments talking about Ricochet, but it's like, bro, we're
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: not even speaking on it. Like he's in great shape.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: You look at Ricochet, Bro, he got the look, he
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: got the move set, you know what I'm saying. It's like, Bro,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you're not even the target audience or this. But honestly,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I feel like the reason why it's struck a nerve
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: with him is because I pretty much described half of
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: his company. He ain't in WW no more so he
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: ain't he ain't over there with the impressive dudes. Like
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: right now, you know, we're watching that raw in Brussels
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: because it's live during the day. Since it was live
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: over there, we seeing Finn Balor and bron Breaker. Finn
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Baler ain't tall, you know what I'm saying.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: But he got twelve apps showing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Facts, he got thirteen abs and then you got bron Breaker,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: you know, six two or so, another physical specimen and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: they just going at it and it looks like some
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: dudes that you wouldn't want to see him in the street.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean easily yeah.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: And that was the whole point, with the whole objective
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: at that point that everybody missed. It's that we get
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: who's in there. But what we want to see as fans,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: as what our perceptive of wrestling is. And it's not
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: about the Roid Rage era. It's like they'd be roided out.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: It's not about that. But take care of yourself to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: look like a massive professional wrestler in the ring exactly.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: That's something that I was going to say too, Like,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I feel like people got too hung up when you
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: specifically mentioned Ultimate Warrior. Yeah, I think they went in
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: their heads and say, oh, these guys want a whole
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: bunch of meat heads that are just shaking ropes and
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: running all crazy on the gas and going in saying
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: like you got hung up on one wrestler instead of
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: what we was really saying, like you just got to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: look like an athlete. You brought up Ultimate Warrior because
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: he's an obvious one to think that he looked the biggest.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He was a bralic dude.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: He was a scary guy, a guy that I would
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: never want to see myself in an altercation with.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Facts, And like I said, we're looking at this match
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: right now. Broun Breaker. Broun Breaker Breaker ain't built like
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Ultimate Warrior, but he has a physique the same way
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: that you see him in the ring, and you've seen
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the way he speared I show speed, bro dog, You're like, nah, Bro,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I don't want to mess with that dude. And I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: feel like that's the part that kind of I'm gonna
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: say this kind of both ways. I was gonna say,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's the part that went over people's heads,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: But I don't feel like it went over their heads
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: so much as they just wanted to convince us that
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we're watching for the whole thing, you know what I'm saying.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And it's one of those things, bro, like maybe you
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: watch wrestling because you I want to see relatable people
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: in there, and it makes you feel like I could
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: do this because that was kind of like the appeal
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: of Ray Mysterio, you know what I'm saying. Like, when
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you saw Raymonsterio, even though he's an incredible athlete doing
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: crazy things that none of us could ever dream of doing,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: people watched him and felt like, Dang, I could be
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: in there wrestling the Make Show because raising.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: There, Yeah, he's pretty much my height, bro if I
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: but I had to be in his condition and I'm
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: not in his condition. I'm not a professional Just to
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: make for the record, I'm not a professional wrestling nor
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: trying to be. I No, I can't do any of
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: this shit these guys do in that ring, But it
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: doesn't take away from what I prefer to see. What
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I enjoy seeing is in a professional wrestling environment exactly.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And it's one of those things where it's like you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: can't tell somebody build things that they enjoy about something
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: is wrong. Like you can't tell me, oh, you like
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the wrong thing about wrestling. Bro, No, I don't.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I like what I like.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You like what you like. We're both in the audience
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: watching and enjoying it, you know what I mean.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Just like music and movies, some people like the production,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: some people like the setting, the aesthetics, the people in it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: We're talking about what we like and what we prefer
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and what we enjoy that grows us as fans for wrestling.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: That's what we're talking.
