And now your main events,

0:03

introducing the hosts Wrestling

0:06

with Freddy Ship hand

0:09

for ready Prince Soon,

0:16

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another

0:18

brand new episode of Wrestling with Freddy,

0:21

also Wrestling with Friends,

0:23

and here is the news of the week,

0:25

Ladies and gentlemen. The most newsworthy event,

0:28

probably of this entire year, was the fact

0:31

that the Wrestling with Friends podcast went to

0:33

a w Los Angeles.

0:37

And we'll be spending most of the show talking about

0:39

how awesome that was, Ladies and gentlemen. Here

0:42

is Wrestling with Prince

0:45

Oh, and I forgot to do good eveninging well

0:48

and we know it, we

0:50

know it. Nobody's perfect. Man, How

0:52

are you, sir? Good to see feeling good?

0:54

What a week? What a wrestling week? Huh?

0:57

I think we should break down the night step

0:59

by that. Here's our advice for everyone whoever

1:01

wants to go to a e W leave

1:04

early. Let's

1:06

start a story time with Uncle Freddy and Uncle Jeffrey.

1:09

Ready, we decided to

1:12

go to this show. I think we were five

1:14

deep and jeff said, hey, I'll I'll

1:16

meet you at your house and we can car

1:18

pool together. And so he

1:22

was nice enough to drive to my house

1:24

and even nicer. Two

1:26

cruise in the family minivan instead

1:29

of his super cool car and

1:32

the minivans. It's nice, but it's

1:34

still a minivan. Yeah. So

1:37

we drive to the l a Forum.

1:40

I don't know what they call it now, they call it something new

1:42

now, but this is where the Lakers used to play back

1:44

in the olden times, as Jeff

1:46

and I would say, the old olden times.

1:49

So we get there, and we're gonna

1:51

be there early because we want to watch

1:53

Ryan Nemtt, the Hollywood hunk, wrestle

1:57

in a e W dark because

1:59

he's a homie and he's awesome. So

2:01

we leave early. Man, we're gonna get there,

2:04

and then uh, I missed this

2:06

one turn, this one freaking turn

2:08

right by the forum too. It wasn't like it was like on the

2:10

freeway or something. Were right there with figures. Who cares.

2:13

We can see where we're going now. Granted

2:15

we probably wouldn't have gotten a spot anyway,

2:18

however, however,

2:21

it would have been nice to know. But I blew

2:23

the turn. There's no way in.

2:27

And then we see, uh, parking

2:29

lot full everywhere, and they

2:31

say, you're gonna have to Uh,

2:34

you don't have to park at Sofi Stadium,

2:37

which I've never I've never been to. The wife's

2:39

been there a bunch of Rams games and stuff,

2:41

but I'm a Raiders fans to screw the rams um.

2:45

So we have to park at Sofi

2:48

Stadium, which isn't that far, but

2:52

we're for sure missing the

2:55

dark match. So we

2:58

park, don't know quarter mile

3:01

away, maybe quartermine

3:04

and we're walking up and

3:07

we meet our group and Jeff's always keeping

3:09

it happy even though we're late. He's like, yeah,

3:11

baby, we're gonna go. We're gonna see

3:13

the whole We're gonna see the whole show. So I can't

3:15

really get mad because he's not mad. So

3:18

we get there and our group is you, Me,

3:21

Gina from G four, Alicia

3:23

Marie who came with me last year, and Matt Cohen

3:26

who came with me last year. McCauley couldn't come. He went

3:28

to Disneyland with the family because he's a nice

3:30

dad. Last minute Disney trip. We get to

3:32

the show and Jeff, you

3:35

jump in at any point here, But the

3:37

first thing I hear is let

3:39

me buy you a beer, And that was

3:42

from Gina, and that put me in a good mood

3:44

right away, So take

3:46

it from there, you went to the bar. Talk to me about

3:49

the bar, tab, talk to me about the

3:53

did you get a cocktail? Didn't just go

3:55

beer? Me and Gina had some shots

3:58

and then and we

4:00

all had giant twenty four rounds beers

4:02

walking too. The We hadn't even seen any wrestling yet. I

4:04

got a good buzz going. We got We took it

4:06

up a notch. Also, every

4:09

time I've ever been to a wrestling match right, which because

4:11

I've always claimed I don't like live wrestling, I

4:13

was wrong. I love live right. I just changed

4:15

everything for me because we

4:17

we we walk in and we can barely see

4:19

not barely see the ring, but in in baseball,

4:22

the baseball field is very big. In football,

4:24

the football field is very big, and basketball

4:26

court is pretty big. But the wrestling ring is so

4:28

small. So everything seems like a little

4:31

farther away. And as we're walking,

4:33

we just keep getting closer and closer. And I

4:35

was like, I don't know where these tickets are, but this is incredible.

4:37

Before you know it, we're right in the

4:39

front room. I couldn't believe it. It was easily

4:42

the best seeds I've ever had. It

4:44

was like Christmas. I was like going, oh my gosh, they're

4:46

right here. I get to see the rest of like we're like right

4:48

on the front front. It was I

4:50

was super overstimulated. I felt like a little

4:53

kid. I was like, that's it's easily the most excited I've

4:55

been and probably I don't know, seven

4:57

or eight years. I was like, that's just crazy. We're right

4:59

here. I was telling big al Alex our

5:01

prducer, like, I did realize that I'm a

5:03

giant compared to wrestlers. It's

5:05

compared to most humans, bro, are you talking

5:07

about these wrestlers

5:10

are supposed to be supposed to be big

5:12

beasts, and like there was like only

5:14

one wrestler was bigger than me. It was Morrissey,

5:16

um, but everyone else was like very

5:19

I'm bigger than or at least taller than

5:21

most wrestlers and all the way

5:24

taller than me. It's weird, but it's

5:26

weird. That's the only part that I was surprised about.

5:28

I was like, man, they are all like little muscular,

5:30

short guys. They'll still hit you with an Irish

5:32

whip and then clothesline you blah blow

5:35

and you'd be on the ground. Oh god, what they

5:37

can still take me out for sure. I will say about the Sofi

5:39

Stadium in the forum thing is like, you know, like

5:42

you can see the forums, so we're like, no big

5:44

deal, right, it's right there. But it's kind

5:46

of like in those It's like in old times when you're

5:48

like, oh, look, well look we can see the castle. We must

5:50

be close and you're like, no, that's a three day ride. You

5:53

can see your destination. Well, it's super

5:55

far away. I totally

5:57

know what you feel like. It's

6:00

there, like, I know, but right there, still pretty

6:02

far. That's what I felt like.

6:04

I just kept walking there. That's

6:06

eleven miles away. That's

6:09

but what a day man it was. Did

6:12

you know that you were gonna be on the show? Yes?

6:14

And no. I mean the man who

6:16

talked smacked to me was

6:19

the reason we were sitting front row. So

6:23

I take that as going to a comedy

6:25

club, right, If you sit in the front,

6:28

you're you're expecting

6:30

some interaction, right, and

6:33

it's a safe place for it, and

6:35

you're there to take it. And if you can't take it,

6:37

don't sit there. So I

6:40

thought he might do something

6:43

because he and I have a better

6:45

relationship. We're talking about MJF because

6:48

he and I have a better relationship than the first l

6:50

A show. I went to, UM,

6:52

so I thought something was coming. I will say

6:54

this. I knew something was coming because he texted

6:56

me before the show, Hey, is mac gonna make

6:58

it McCauley, And I was like,

7:00

no, He's going to Disney and he's like, all right, cool.

7:03

And the only reason he asked and I knew that I

7:05

was he's gonna He's gonna

7:07

go in and so I was like, all right, he's got

7:09

some stuff on me. He's gonna he's gonna hit

7:11

me with something. I didn't know Dr Ken was going

7:13

to be there, so I was like as

7:15

soon as he was standing, I was like, oh, he's about

7:17

to get it. Was like your

7:20

guy who won the Golden Globe,

7:24

dude, the guy from Freaking I the

7:27

Tanya Harding movie. What was that called Tanya?

7:30

He was the bodyguard, the fake bodyguard

7:32

of that dude. That guy is so money.

7:34

That guy is so money. I thought he was gonna go

7:36

in on him. Um,

7:38

who else did I there was someone else there? I thought I

7:41

was going to go in on but show.

7:43

So they didn't want Paul walter Houser

7:45

to be on that show. They didn't want it to

7:47

look like he was. That was

7:49

the night Show. Yeah, got

7:52

you, got you, got you, got you. So he

7:54

probably so well. Someone went in on him on

7:56

the second show for sure. Yeah, man,

7:59

I uh, we can just talk about that

8:01

segment. He was also the lead of Richard Jewell,

8:04

which was like, such was stinking great

8:06

movie. He should have won everything. He's such a good

8:08

actor, dude.

8:22

But yeah, So that wrestler

8:24

that we talked about months ago, Kana

8:26

Scape, came out

8:29

and I really like this guy. Dude, like he's

8:31

got personality when he wrestles, and

8:34

he's gonna wrestle Brian Danielson.

8:37

And the story that Danielson is in is

8:40

he can't lose before

8:42

said date, I don't remember what it is. And

8:45

if he wins all his matches up until that point,

8:47

then he gets to wrestle m JF for the championship

8:51

and so he can't lose no matter what. And

8:54

so kinda sca is out there and m JF comes

8:56

out and he started, he

8:58

takes he takes his moment. Man, he said,

9:00

he steals his shine a spotlight because

9:02

he's the champ. You're not the champ, You're

9:04

just some dude from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

9:06

You can sit there and look at the champ while

9:09

I show you how to cut a promo. And

9:11

so he takes the mic and he starts trash talking

9:13

to him and he says, you know, in this country, we

9:15

speak American. Didn't

9:17

even say English, trying to get us chant

9:19

going after that, but it was not well received.

9:22

It was such a heel move, bro,

9:26

I go, he's right, you

9:30

legit. No one else chanted it

9:32

with you. You're the only one. So

9:34

he starts going in on him, and then my

9:37

man in perfect English

9:40

says basically says, oh, you want to know what

9:42

I just said. I just said you could kiss my ass,

9:45

And the crowd says yeah,

9:47

and so he takes the mic bag he starts barking

9:49

at the crowd, and that's when he

9:51

goes in on your guy Ken. I saw you guys say

9:53

hello, to which I know you guys. Yeah, I'm buddies with Kenn.

9:56

So yeah, he went in and he said,

9:58

oh, you might remember him from his show

10:01

super Cool Dr Ken. I don't know what the name

10:03

of his show, goes, well, he's super cool. He

10:05

goes, oh, yeah, that's right. It was canceled,

10:08

and and Dr Kenny sells not. He's

10:10

like, what kick your grafts

10:13

man? That's the look that he had on his face. And

10:15

Jeff was like, oh that's my friend. Why

10:18

And the rest of us that were there we just like him,

10:20

so we were like, yeah, why And then

10:22

he cuts in on me and he

10:25

starts, you say it. I mean, I didn't appreciate

10:27

talking about it. He comes out talk

10:29

about it, comes out all short.

10:31

First of all, m JF comes out

10:33

all short and talking track. Yeah,

10:36

I don't know, I don't like that. He's you know, I've changed my position

10:38

on MJF now that he talked trash about you. You know

10:40

this is it's still real to me. Damn it.

10:43

You know that's how I feel. And he goes out,

10:45

there goes, we got some celebrities in the house. He makes fun

10:47

of Ken Jong and then he comes over and

10:49

he goes and Freddie Prince Jr.

10:52

And then the crowd pops because you know you're

10:54

a good guy. Everyone loves you, and they put you on

10:56

camera. Everyone's happy. Corn stars

10:58

were taking photos. I've a proof of that.

11:01

There's a Portanstree named Jordan Max who was posting

11:03

about you looks she saw she saw

11:05

you over there, and she's friends with the young Bucks. That's why

11:07

she had like good seats that were real close right by Ken Jong

11:10

good old j Max. I think that I

11:12

show she dated like Matt Riddle and she knows Jericho.

11:15

She was like somehow like really incentwined in all the wrestling.

11:18

She knows all the wrestlers. It's pretty cool. Jealous of

11:20

her. Um, so then

11:22

you know, everyone cheers for you, and then he basically

11:24

goes, uh, yeah he was in

11:27

the movie. She's all that, and the crowd

11:29

pops for that too, and then he goes.

11:32

But I don't know, I never saw it because

11:34

I was born in nineteen nineties six.

11:36

I'm not a dinosaur, which

11:39

is not such a money line. Bro. I

11:41

love that. I don't know, really just

11:43

proves yeah,

11:45

which is yeah, being young is good and being

11:48

old sucks. You're young. You thought that

11:50

too, You just don't now because you're

11:52

catching up to me. But most of the crowd

11:55

is going where we all saw she's

11:57

all that crazy.

12:00

Well he's shopping on everybody. I guess that's true.

12:02

And then he goes, uh, he goes.

12:05

And when I was young, all I know

12:07

from is uh, he

12:10

worked with a c G I Dog.

12:12

No, he said, I was the side kiss, sidekick

12:15

to a c G I c G I.

12:17

That's what made it her cartoon dog. And

12:20

then he goes because to me, you're

12:22

nothing more than a Scooby Dooby

12:24

douche bag. And that do

12:27

you know what that was? It? It's a would

12:29

have been my Tommy My Tommy Hearns moment

12:32

when Bret Hart calls him out in Detroit

12:35

and he's like, there's only room for

12:37

one hit man in the city of Detroit.

12:40

And he's standing right here

12:43

and he's like, but if you want to prove yourself,

12:45

and before he can finish the sentence, hit Man Herns

12:48

is like over the rail boom in the ring.

12:50

He's standing right there. This is evil Brett

12:52

Hart when he was still with the Hard Foundation, and

12:55

Jim Avil Knightheart's like, what what you gonna

12:57

do? What you gonna do, sucker? And

12:59

then tom Me hit man. Hearn's finally heard enough and by

13:03

bow and then it's like almost double right

13:05

hand, babe bye, and Hanvil goes down and Brett

13:07

Hart's like, God damn, that's what should

13:09

have had would have been sick if you just like

13:11

like come over here, like if you just took it mad,

13:14

you took it like a good guy, you know, you just wore it.

13:16

You just the end. It hurt the end heard

13:18

I said, what what? Because

13:20

he called me a douche man. You know. Also

13:22

I was I was talking about this before the thing. But if

13:24

you listen to the clip and the clips on Twitter, the clips

13:26

on Think, maybe you could find the clip on YouTube. You

13:29

can hear me yelling at him for

13:31

you for making fun of you. Because I'm so

13:33

close to the cameraman. He couldn't avoid me. The camera.

13:35

Guys, he zoomed in on here. He's got you,

13:38

and my stupid head is right by the camera because

13:40

your friend was by you, and then I was by your friend,

13:43

and so my mouth is right

13:45

next to where the cameras. I was like, careful, careful,

13:47

m JF. That's too far, Like I'm like going

13:50

crazy, which I

13:52

was like, really messing with the flow of the some

13:54

of the wrestlers, I feel like a little bit because

13:57

I don't know. I mean, you

14:00

have to go to more house shows to understand

14:02

how used to that really

14:04

really are. Because I was like, oh, this is like heckling.

14:07

I'm heckling basically like no

14:09

man, the crowd is genuinely part

14:12

of it, a part of the show, like

14:14

the Seattle football fans are

14:16

genuinely the eleventh or twelfth

14:18

man on the field. What however, many people there's

14:22

a there's a different energy to it. It's

14:24

not like the theater in that regard. Uh,

14:27

Well, stand up comedy is more nowadays

14:29

than ever, but Santa Company shouldn't have to be

14:31

like that. But wrestling

14:33

has this crowd interaction that since

14:36

the nineties has become a major

14:39

well kfbe since forever, right, because

14:41

the wrestlers would listen to the crowd and that's

14:43

when they would like hit certain spots and

14:46

fight out of a submission, and then they'd hear the

14:48

crowd get excited and he'd be like, I'm gonna shut it down,

14:51

and the crowds like, no, shut

14:55

down again, And it's almost when they don't believe that.

14:58

I So

15:01

after the nineties they were kind of in on

15:03

it and acknowledged by the business

15:06

that they were in on it. So the participation

15:08

became different. They wanted to like verbally

15:11

be acknowledged that they were changing the

15:13

tide of a match, right, And

15:15

so that's why they would start, you know, boom,

15:18

Yeah, when the punchers would go

15:20

back and forth, you know what I mean, they want to let you know

15:22

they hate that guy and they love that or

15:25

they'd start You can't wrestle chance

15:27

if they wanted you off the brand completely.

15:30

All kinds of crazy stuff. So

15:33

at house shows you don't have to. I'll put

15:35

it to you this way. I went to one years

15:38

ago, almost twenty

15:40

years ago with Karen Culkin,

15:43

Matt Caulkin, Rory

15:46

Culkin, who was just a little mug at

15:48

the time, myself, and

15:51

this dude Angelo. So it was

15:53

hardcore Holly and Cody

15:55

Rhodes. This was right when Cody

15:58

was gonna debut on Monday

16:00

Night Rob so back in the day against

16:03

whoever they were wrestling, and they were good guys

16:05

in this scenario, and we're sitting

16:07

ringside just as close as you and

16:09

I were at a e W and

16:11

hardcore Holly throws this dude it might have

16:14

been Brian Kendrick and Paul

16:16

London that they were wrestling against. Brian

16:18

Kendricks a smaller guy, and

16:21

he throws him into the turn buckle and he hits

16:23

him with this chop that

16:26

Jeff, I'm telling you. The

16:28

arena was quiet when he

16:30

hit the turn buckle, so the chop

16:33

when it hit and slapped against

16:35

this man's chest was just like

16:37

a whip crack, like wh and

16:40

the whole crowd goes, oh

16:43

god because you know it hurt,

16:45

right, and the wrestlers are into

16:47

this, right, and he hits him again blah

16:50

blah blah, and the whole crowds

16:52

like, oh God, and Karen goes

16:56

fucking hit him again, and

16:58

a hardcore Holly look to ride at Kieran

17:00

Culkin and goes, you want another one,

17:03

Culkin? You got it Because

17:05

it's a house show. There's a TV cameras,

17:07

so it's all good. And he just chops

17:10

Kendrick one more time. Wow Wow,

17:12

and Kendrick just slumps down into the turn

17:14

buckle like, Yo, you ain't shopping again,

17:17

bro, I'm gonna play the Ko role.

17:20

And it was this like wild interaction

17:23

that I hadn't really

17:25

seen at a house show before because

17:28

I hadn't worked for the company yet. This was about

17:30

a year before I took

17:32

the job. And uh, I

17:34

mean even it was even crazier at the end. It

17:36

was d x uh. It

17:39

was Sean Michaels

17:41

and and Triple h in the main event

17:43

and they beat up someone and at the

17:46

end of the match just was like hey

17:48

to me and Mac were like, hey, climb over the rail

17:50

and come backstage with us. And we were just like, oh,

17:53

yeah, I guess we'll do that then, and

17:55

so we just climbed over and our group climbed

17:57

over with us, and he met all of Max.

18:00

But he's like, how many fucking brothers do you have? That's

18:02

my triple aged voice over. How many

18:04

fucking brothers do you have? Bro? And

18:06

Mac was like, oh, yeah, this is it. I don't

18:08

know that many brothers until just

18:10

now when you tell the story. I

18:13

didn't even name all his brothers. He has

18:15

an older brother, two younger

18:17

brothers, and rest her rest

18:20

in peace. His sister passed away

18:22

a few years ago, Dakota. But so

18:24

he's like the middle Yeah,

18:27

and he named after

18:29

his sister, Yes, he did, because

18:32

I know it's that's pretty cool that yeah

18:34

man. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

18:37

He's a good dude, and he's good to his family.

18:40

I mean, they're, you know, a crazy family. So

18:42

they fight, and so you know, they'll hate each

18:44

other for like a couple of months and

18:46

then hate everyone else, but their family

18:48

for the next two years and then have another two

18:50

month fight. But that's like family. You

18:53

know what I mean? Is

18:55

well, the reason I said that I felt like I was missing messing

18:58

with some of the wrestler's flows a little bit because like m

19:00

Cold came out and did that huge prom and he's like, I've

19:02

got good news and I've got bad news, and

19:04

I was like, we ate bad news, and then he's

19:06

like, let's shut up. Did

19:09

well he didn't say that. I felt like there was

19:11

like this thing and then he did. He did the whole

19:13

thing, and then I was like, that's the good news

19:16

because just like it kept like hold

19:19

on, hold on, hold on, we gotta we gotta back up. We're gonna

19:21

get to that. We're gonna get to that. So

19:24

so he talks all his trash and

19:27

he got you know, he did such

19:29

a good job at talking

19:31

ship that he legit got the crowd

19:33

to do a Freddie chance yeah, And I

19:35

was like, legit yelling Freddy, They've

19:38

never done that at the w w E show.

19:40

They didn't do it at the last a w show.

19:42

Like it takes someone shifting on

19:44

you to make the crowd going, oh,

19:47

that's hard. Have you so shout

19:49

out to everyone who who was in on that I love

19:51

you guys. Let the hardcore know that I'm a nice

19:53

guy. They know that I just love wrestling and wrestling,

20:10

so that was cool. And then Bryan Danielson,

20:13

I didn't have to jump the ring and

20:15

engage in violence because the

20:17

damsel in distress that I was at

20:20

the time, he knew. He knew, he

20:22

knew, he was on the first guys

20:24

I worked with at w W E he knew. But

20:26

anyway, he was like, enough is enough

20:28

and he ran out of the ring and you could see the look on

20:30

his face. He was like, this one's for Freddie.

20:33

You could see it, and if you were watching

20:35

on TV, you could see it. And then he jumps

20:37

in the ring. He scares M MJ.

20:39

Brand like Carl Lewis back in the

20:41

Olympics. He was

20:45

like. And then Brian Danilson

20:48

probably dedicated the match to me and

20:51

probably do your guy Ken too, probably, but

20:53

more more likely me, just me and

20:56

uh and maybe your porn star friend and

20:59

me and me. He probably dedicated to me. I

21:02

was really one messing with everybody's flowing.

21:04

You're stable, I mean you're stable, so

21:09

us not not After that week, and

21:11

then he fought and he wrestled, and he won

21:14

because he has to win, because if those two don't

21:16

wrestle, it would be a damn shame. So everyone

21:19

pray to your gods, sacrifice

21:22

you know, goats and well not like your

21:24

first born, whatever you can say, sacrifice virgins,

21:27

virgin goats. Sacrifice your virgin goats,

21:30

and pray that both men stay healthy

21:33

so that we can get this match. We deserve

21:35

this match, importantly, they

21:37

deserve this match. It's gonna be awesome.

21:40

So everyone hoped for that. Now, I

21:43

thought we were going to get

21:45

the return or not the return to debut

21:48

of Sasha Banks in a e

21:51

W. That's what I thought was

21:53

going to be the special surprise. And I didn't

21:55

say anything to anybody that I invited to

21:57

the event. I'd say, even you, I didn't say

21:59

anything to you. Nothing. I really thought

22:01

she was gonna debut, and

22:03

uh, we got a different debut. Instead,

22:06

we got the return at

22:09

last of Adam

22:12

Cold Baby

22:14

and the Music Kid and

22:16

the crowd. The

22:19

crowd went crazy,

22:22

crazy, they love Adam Cole. And

22:25

then he started his promo with

22:28

I've got some good news and

22:30

some bad news and Jeff

22:32

I'll let you take it from this. I just I just yelled

22:34

very loudly, and since I'm in the front, I was like,

22:37

we hate bad news. And

22:40

I kind of felt like I was performing for the people behind

22:42

us, just like trying to make them laugh. Actually,

22:45

I've just remembered the different thing. My mind is all over

22:47

the place. When um, Michael or when m

22:49

JF said something, Um, he was

22:51

like, he'sa he dissed the Japanese

22:54

guy, and he's like, because all I care about

22:56

is banging rats. He was talking

22:58

about like any reference. Remember. Then I

23:00

turned around, was like, yeah, ring rats, ring

23:03

rats. I try to get their ring rats chances.

23:05

And I just watched all these like cool

23:07

parents, they like some of them have their

23:10

kids with them, and they're just like shaking their head at me, Like Jesus,

23:12

this guy, bro, you did not get

23:14

a single chance going, not one. They

23:17

were all the worst chance, by the way,

23:19

like the worst chance, the worst possible

23:21

time, just a horrible,

23:23

awful Jeff die. And I was so proud

23:25

of the community that they did not support

23:28

you. And they were laughing. They

23:30

were laughing, They're

23:33

like, this guy's a rascal. It was fun, but

23:35

all your chance so then or

23:37

so Adam colds doing the whole thing. Man, you

23:39

know what I love about wrestling fans. Wrestling fans

23:41

can be tough, but one thing I love

23:44

is even if they don't there's such

23:46

were such marks for for if

23:48

we know what's going to be said a catchphrase

23:51

or you know, like the restling fans will hate Enzoo

23:53

more. They hate him so much. But when

23:56

he goes, when he goes, you

23:58

know, it goes through his thing like in these said been

24:00

football and they do the whole thing, like since

24:02

they nobody's gonna say, the whole stadium does it.

24:04

And so it goes home thinking they all love me. It's

24:06

like no, no, all they just really loved

24:09

that. They know the thing you're gonna say.

24:11

They love a catchphrase and so like Adam Cole

24:13

and they're a part of the show. And Adam Cole

24:15

coming out there every time he did the bed

24:18

like all that, like I mean everything was it

24:20

was electric in there, Like it was really really really

24:22

exciting and like you could feel the energy

24:24

out said he could feel it through the TV. But

24:27

like it was just such a good feeling

24:29

in there. Adam Cole comes out, talks

24:31

about how he's coming back, and the bad news

24:33

is he's not going anywhere, because I I think everyone thought

24:35

that maybe the bad news was going to be that he's leaving,

24:38

right or retiring or well. I think

24:41

look, once he came out, if

24:44

that was a retirement, with the

24:46

pop he got, like the the energy

24:48

and the crowd would have just died,

24:51

like the energy of the show

24:53

would have died. And I'm leaving.

24:56

Yeah, And I feel like Tony con is slick

24:58

enough to recognize at so it had

25:01

to feel good, right. But for a second

25:03

there, like when he was talking about and this was real

25:05

stuff that I guess he was going through. I didn't

25:07

like talk to him about this, but I I

25:10

know he was out for concussion reasons and

25:13

a e W feels like they talk a lot of real

25:15

stuff in there, and he was he was talking

25:17

about not being able to sleep

25:19

and and waking up in the middle of the night

25:22

and his wife, who's also a wrestler,

25:24

Britt Baker whose money by

25:26

the way, she's one of the female pillars that

25:28

the women's division is built on

25:31

and the first one probably um

25:33

how she was worried, sick and terrifying,

25:36

like it didn't just affect him it affected

25:38

his family. Concussions are scary

25:40

crap. I've had a couple. Uh

25:42

So for a second there, I'm like even

25:45

I got tricked, you know, because we're there in the crowd

25:47

in the moment, and I'm like, there's no way

25:49

he would come out here and

25:51

make this speech toward

25:54

like we're all gonna be like like,

25:56

there's no freaking way. And

25:58

then I was like, no, he's there's no way.

26:01

And then when he said in the bad news is for

26:04

everybody else in the locker room because

26:06

I'm gonna beat your fucking and he was

26:08

like talking, I was gonna not cussing.

26:10

I've been cussing this whole episode. So he goes

26:13

in and everyone's like, yeah, that's a bad

26:15

with all bad news now, and

26:17

they went bananas for him. I

26:20

was so happy for He's a nice guy man.

26:22

I met him at a convention in Detroit

26:26

and they were like a couple of Ruby Riot was

26:28

there too, a Ruby Soho was there

26:30

as well, and he was so nice and and

26:33

we just talked wrestling for like twenty

26:35

five minutes, and he was so generous

26:37

with with his knowledge and his experience,

26:39

and because all I do was ask like fifty questions

26:42

and like ten minutes um

26:45

and he just like was breaking down like his philosophy

26:47

on it, and then he got hurt. Like right after that. I

26:50

was just like, no, dude, I just fell

26:52

in love with this guy. So it was nice

26:54

to hear him that. That was a great feel good

26:57

moment, but there was some feel

26:59

bad moment too. I was just gonna say, he's one

27:01

of those wrestlers that I feel like it's similar to. And

27:05

I might be wrong, but there's there's a bunch of wrestlers

27:07

who are like Adam Cole who

27:09

loved wrestling their whole life and now they're like the biggest

27:12

wrestlers like that. They just it's like they knew

27:14

to young like trying to think of the other people,

27:16

like the Jericho is probably like that. The

27:18

young Bucks are definitely like that. But there's these guys

27:20

who just like since

27:23

since youth like us, that wrestling was their

27:25

biggest thing, their favorite thing to watch, and now

27:27

they are the wrestlers that people. I just

27:29

love that those kind of stories. That's a that's

27:32

a long list too, man. That goes from Bailey

27:36

that goes to a jungle Boy.

27:38

When you see like video of him and his dad

27:40

Luke Perry at like old school w W

27:42

E matches and then this undersized

27:45

guy who's always going to be compared

27:47

to his dad is like, I don't care, man, I'm going

27:49

for it's my dream. And then you see it, like there's

27:52

so many of them like that. Now I'll send

27:54

videos to the handful of wrestlers that I'm

27:56

buddies with of like old school stuff

27:59

and they'll just go on a full on like history

28:02

instructional direct

28:04

message. That's pretty cool. It's like, oh yeah,

28:07

this was too cool Scorpio when he made the music

28:09

video and it was made in Dada Dada in nineteen two,

28:11

and but w c W two cool

28:14

is way better than w W And I'm just like, holy

28:16

crap, you love wrestling as a kid and

28:18

that's now what you do. So

28:21

yeah, I think there's there's a lot of them for

28:23

real. Had a funny line where he goes where

28:25

he said he goes,

28:27

I was trained from legends like

28:30

Disco Inferno, Like when

28:32

other than the first one is the name I

28:35

remember, like like

28:37

such a funny thing that that was the first legend

28:40

that a reference, which is like hardly even a legend.

28:42

Just go in front. That's why he does it. He

28:45

reminds me of Piper Man, and that's

28:47

like his I think that's his inspiration as

28:50

far as heal. Work goes as rowdy, roddy

28:52

Piper, and he comes off like him.

28:56

I'd say, you know, forty ft of

28:58

the time when he's out there, it's just like it's

29:01

not full possession, but he just steals

29:03

all these great little energies and little

29:06

quirks that Piper had that just make

29:08

it make everything

29:10

he does more special, The little ad libs

29:12

he does when he's working with the crowd and kind of

29:14

going off whatever he had in his head, like all

29:17

that's very just organic and natural

29:19

like Piper was. The Piper was a good actor

29:21

as well. Outside of w W E of

29:25

that ability. And

29:27

Hell Comes to Frogtown? Have you seen that? Hell

29:32

Comes to Frogtown? Is my favorite worst

29:34

movie. That's every if you know, you haven't

29:36

seen it, And if anyone listening, what

29:39

do you do in a horror movie? It's is

29:41

it a horror movie? It's supposed to be like an action movie,

29:43

but the premises preposterous.

29:45

The premises that like in the future, frog

29:49

people have started to take over Earth, but

29:51

they're not even real frogs. They're just like frog

29:53

heads with like human bodies, similar to that

29:55

frog lady from Mandalorian, but like

29:57

they're all like that, you know, there's all these like for

30:00

pomor Thic or whatever you say it frog people.

30:02

And and Roddy Roddy Piper is a felon.

30:05

He's like a really really bad guy and he's

30:07

been locked up and put in prison. But

30:09

he's one of the most fertile people in the world,

30:12

so he's allowed to leave prison.

30:15

What Yeah, he's allowed to leave prison

30:17

as under the circumstances that when

30:19

he sees a human woman that he wants to mate

30:22

with, he has to go and pregnate her. And

30:24

so he's got these two sexy like prison

30:26

guard ladies that are like they keep

30:29

him, like, you know, keep him under control

30:31

because he's dangerous. But

30:33

then yeah, then when he sees the

30:35

when he sees a woman and they're like, all right, go get

30:38

her, and he's like and he goes like it's like it's

30:40

it's insane. He basically way.

30:43

Also, he wears a chastity belt that

30:45

the front part opens when he gets turned

30:48

on. But what's the point of a chastis

30:50

belt? If it just opens up the second you get

30:52

it's the what

30:56

a weird movie? It's the weirdest movies. Like,

30:58

wait, so he's just allowed to be salt these ladies,

31:00

and you're like, yeah, he's gotta he's gotta impregnate the world.

31:02

We gotta spread more humans. Okay,

31:05

well hold on now you said something earlier

31:07

in this absolutely beautiful

31:10

and flawless description of this film.

31:13

I'm watching this ship tonight. It's

31:15

really good. Okay, so you

31:17

said one thing in there he has

31:19

to mate with a woman if they want

31:21

to mate with him. Was that nice, Jeff d or

31:24

is that an actual part of no? I said,

31:26

if he wants to mate with them? If

31:29

if he's if he's interested,

31:31

like because because the whole time I'm thinking, like why does he just hook

31:33

up with these prison guards but evidently like he

31:35

doesn't like them or whatever. I think he does hook up with one

31:37

of them, but it's not like a pot. This

31:40

isn't yeah

31:42

he's a he's a savage. And also like but it makes

31:44

no sense, like Roddy Piper, like like who wrote

31:46

this movie or like how it works is like very

31:49

very strange. Um, I'm deep

31:51

diving this as soon as the po it's

31:54

very very good, and it was so it was like I

31:56

don't remember why, but they

31:58

tried to make a sequel and none of the people

32:00

at turn, none of the actors

32:03

agreed to come back. They're

32:05

all like, I'm not touching it. I'm not gonna be in this movie.

32:10

They were like, they're like, forget it. That ruined my career.

32:12

I'm not going to be in another movie like that. Thanks

32:17

for listening to Wrestling with Freddy. It's

32:19

awesome, even good

32:22

like the posters of it, like like even

32:24

just like the art that they have for the

32:26

movies, like, I mean it all it's insane.

32:29

Jeff, I'm all over this. I'm all over

32:31

there. And that was the best review of

32:33

a movie ever. And I think

32:35

we should all watch it. And if this episode

32:38

gets enough downloads, I don't know how to check that.

32:40

I'm just kind of bus right now, then we'll all do

32:42

a watch along live on Instagram.

32:44

No we won't. I'm watching by myself.

32:47

The female frog lead is supposed to be like

32:49

this beautiful frog, but there's just no way

32:51

to make her look so she looks like Drack

32:54

from Enemy Mind, like with like just rouge

32:56

and Eyeshadows Tara Lugassa

32:59

Jr. Is terrible, but

33:02

it's terribly perfect. It's terrible in a great

33:04

way. I love

33:06

it. I love it. So the

33:09

Jeff Party continued with

33:12

a tag match that

33:14

featured Sarria

33:17

formerly known as Page from the w w WE.

33:20

We got love for Sorea. I love her and her

33:22

tag team partner, Tony Storm,

33:25

the former champion Storm, And

33:27

they had Sheeta out there for

33:30

some emotional moral support, maybe a little

33:32

bit of backup. And

33:35

even though she got dissed the previous week by

33:37

Soria, it was an unintentional disc but

33:39

I feel like Sorea is going to be going evil

33:42

very soon. And

33:45

they were wrestling against Jamie

33:47

Hayter, the Women's World

33:50

Champion, respect that,

33:53

and Britt Baker, and they were escorted

33:55

out there by their manager and Jeff,

33:58

you went at it again, man? Yeah, Well she

34:00

was over there, went at it again. She's chirping

34:02

and everybody she's she's and I just

34:05

told her to watch the match, you know, I said, shut up,

34:07

watch the match, and then she just kept coming

34:09

over to me. She didn't like that at all. Also, mind

34:11

you, at this point, I was in the second row. I wasn't

34:14

even in the front row at this point because a lot of people

34:16

started coming into our area. So I went

34:18

back, Yeah, but you you accused her team

34:20

of cheating. Yeah, they weren't cheating. There was a lot of

34:22

a lot of nonsense going on, so I just yelling

34:25

at him. I didn't even know who I was rooting for, because

34:27

here's the problem. I love Brett Baker and I love

34:29

Saya, and then the other

34:31

two their tag partners, like Tony Storm and uh,

34:34

what's the other woman's name, Jamie Hayter, Jamie

34:36

Hayter Women's World

34:38

Chap. I like both of them. I'm fine with him, you know, but

34:41

but I'm fans of Sir Raya and Britt Baker.

34:43

So I really have nobody let a little cheating happen.

34:45

You gotta let a little bit go by man book

34:48

or Tea said, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. You

34:50

know, my dad guess you don't like my dad

34:52

used to you don't like your dad, you don't like your dad? Well,

34:54

my mom hated it when he said, if you're not cheating, you're

34:56

not trying. You know, He's right? Um

34:59

no, it was. It was a great match and everything,

35:01

but they were cheating, and so I yelled

35:04

at her, and then Rivo started coming over and yelling

35:06

at me, and I saw, I said, turned around watched the

35:08

match, which was a very like fun. I

35:10

think I couldn't have she thought I was serious or

35:12

vice. She knew I was playing around, but she eventually knew

35:14

I was playing She she came back

35:17

to you like three times after that. She knew

35:19

you were playing around. And managers like doing

35:21

that. Man Paul pretended like he was

35:23

gonna fight people in the crowd before,

35:25

you know, like it gives him something else to do. Yeah,

35:27

she's a very very fun and animated

35:30

matchin. It was fun to watch all of the valets. Although

35:32

she's tall and she made them look small, didn't

35:34

she she was a tall lady. She did, Yeah, she she

35:36

probably had high heels on them. Maybe that's it. Oh,

35:39

and then she took she took Tony Storms, also

35:41

cheating, also cheating. Yeah, I

35:44

didn't appreciate that. I'm trying to watch. You

35:46

accused her of stealing Tony storms wardrobe.

35:49

She's wearing the Battles wardrobe. That's stealing,

35:52

borrowing, borrowing. Now she's

35:54

it was, I don't know, maybe keeping

35:56

it safe so it doesn't get stepped on during

35:58

a wrestling match. Maybe it was that you

36:01

don't gotta put it around your neck. You know, she's

36:03

trying to make this where's a safer place,

36:05

Where a safer place? Give it to us? She

36:08

could give it to us. You're sick. I'm

36:13

watching the match right now and you can see

36:16

her talking to me, like literally on TV.

36:18

It's hilarious. Bro. You went after

36:20

everybody, a good guy or a bad guy. You

36:22

went after everyone. I thought it

36:25

was hysterical. The crowd around

36:27

us thought it was hyster fun. Gina was

36:29

dying, dude. You had never met Gina before

36:32

daring from four. She's awesome,

36:34

man, She's a gamer. I think like

36:36

the more you get carried away about anything, the better

36:39

it is. So it's just fun to get carried away. Look,

36:41

let's just get let's just get lost in this. You know

36:43

it's super fun. Yeah, man, that's uh.

36:45

Live events are one of

36:47

the friendly reminders that I

36:50

think every wrestling fan needs once a year

36:52

to remind you what you love about

36:55

professional wrestling because

36:57

TV a lot of times and the Internet

37:00

and social media, we get too focused on the things

37:02

that we don't love. That we'd like to change,

37:04

or sometimes the things we even hate, right, like

37:06

a mask you can't talk in. So yeah,

37:08

man. Even though there was a lot of news in wrestling

37:11

and Vince McMahon's trying to take

37:14

a low pro hostile takeover without

37:16

using the word hostile, um, I

37:18

thought the biggest news was you and I party in

37:20

at a w and having a great time, and I was

37:23

I thought that was awesome. What if

37:26

you know, I mean, we're pretty much pros

37:28

at parking. It's so far now already, Yeah,

37:30

what if the podcast did a little WrestleMania

37:34

So far, I think we gotta do it, Jeff d and

37:36

your boy Freddy. I would be more than happy

37:38

to go to go to wrestle Mania this. I

37:40

was telling Alex again before the show. It's

37:43

completely changed my perspective on I thought I hate

37:45

it going and I was like, nope, I'm wrong. Live

37:47

wrestling is sick, dude. It was so so so

37:49

so far. That's right, man. I would rather do that than

37:51

any other sport now after after like

37:53

just doing it the right way, going with the right people, seeing

37:56

the right seeing the right matches. Let's talk a little

37:58

bit about that ladder match, talk about

38:00

it, dude, that was a pay per view,

38:02

like well, actually, first of all, there was a John Moxley

38:04

versus um Adam Hangman

38:07

and the crowd, the l A crowd was

38:09

hyped for Hangman page great

38:12

match. They killed it. They killed

38:14

Then there was a ladder match, so l

38:17

A got the final match. And even though

38:21

the way they booked it and advertised, you

38:23

knew there was gonna be seven matches

38:25

no matter what, which is why it's hard to make

38:27

those types of stories compelling. This

38:30

one was great. The first

38:32

two were awesome. In the middle

38:34

it got a little tough, but it had to

38:37

be tough. It's hard to tell that story

38:39

seven different ways. And then this

38:41

one was just crazy. Ladd

38:44

I even broke my phone out and recorded and posted

38:46

a couple from this match. When he did

38:48

the one wing Angel off the ladder, I

38:50

was almost threw up, like it went

38:53

back and forth. I felt like the

38:55

elite, we're gonna win. But

38:57

a couple of times in the match, I was like, nah, man,

39:00

they're that's so sick. They're gonna let Death Triangle

39:02

keep it after all this, and I was like, no, of course not. And

39:05

Kenny Omega was mad cool to the fans. I'm

39:07

still learning about Omega. People

39:10

are either they either love him or

39:12

they hate him, and I'm trying to figure

39:14

out what people hate about him, and

39:17

I haven't yet. I'm like, the guy sells

39:20

like crazy. We like people who

39:22

sell. He's good on the mic, Mike

39:26

is wrestling is creative. We like people that

39:28

are creative. And he's a good looking dude.

39:30

Everybody likes good looking dudes. So I'm

39:32

still trying to figure it out. I've I've heard

39:35

the criticisms, but I'm not like an expert

39:37

on professional wrestlers, so maybe

39:40

I don't. Maybe I don't know, but I think

39:42

he's mad cool man and and the wrestlers seem

39:44

to respect him and like him, and I think

39:46

he's never heard he's a wrestling fans wet

39:49

dream. Alright, dude, tell the people where you're

39:51

going to be this weekend. Jo, I'm not gonna be anywhere

39:53
