picture that comes less colds bad the
3:28
damage shows kevin kelly seventy somebody
3:31
i had on the books i was doing
3:33
a tour of new japan professional
3:36
wrestling in march of twenty twenties
3:38
i had the ticket in the united app
3:40
i had already upgraded to a first
3:42
class tickets o'hare to tokyo
3:45
tokyo to o'hare and then
3:47
the world's shut down kevin
3:49
and i were unable to speak at that
3:51
time but that's is that time i got booked
3:53
on a show with iraq and then i could
3:56
ask kevin about his time with the rocks and
3:58
of course all of the wonderful time there that
4:00
he has done over the years that
4:02
is cometary when your personality
4:04
like kevin kelly it's not just
4:06
about go to work talk about
4:09
the matches and then go home i mean it
4:11
is for some but for the most part of you wanna
4:13
be a success in wrestling you're
4:15
not a professional wrestler you
4:17
have to be a jack of all trades
4:20
unless you're literally so
4:23
good like let's say you're a referee if
4:25
you're literally the best referee in the
4:27
world but i think charles robinson
4:29
still on ring duty learn
4:31
how to put up a ring kevin kelly so
4:34
good a commentary has one the observer
4:36
awards for years and years
4:39
but still always understood the
4:41
importance of doing everything
4:43
you get their foot the door and then you keep
4:45
your foot the door kevin kelly so
4:48
great that and will hear all about
4:50
it which will happen here on
4:52
this show so that's though they
4:55
do as for me oh
4:57
i was in the seats a little bit this week
4:59
it's so funny the think
5:01
about who are the people telling
5:04
the journalists the information
5:06
because i definitely wasn't me out and tell
5:08
them anything it was reported
5:10
that i cited new contract and i did sign
5:12
a new contract there was something
5:15
reported about ring of honor that i have i have
5:17
no clue about that i just know i
5:19
sighed new car drag i don't know who
5:21
reported it somebody who knew something
5:23
obviously reported and i only
5:25
say that because it just makes me
5:27
think of people that report stuff a
5:30
week were in my wrestling
5:32
brain so obvious
5:35
that people are leaking stuff to
5:37
people i guess for me someone
5:39
has just been arrested for so long and knows the personalities
5:42
like can see a mile away that
5:45
do the wrestling journalism
5:47
people or whatever it is but
5:49
what's the story gets out it gets out
5:51
and it spreads like wildfire and
5:54
it's there's a true art
5:55
do it there's a true are to manipulating
5:57
the wrestling journalism world
6:00
that might be my new podcast
6:02
it's no longer to be the are depressing it could be
6:04
the art of do being the wrestling journal
6:06
with his
6:07
maybe that's going to be my next successful
6:10
podcast adventure otherwise
6:12
for me business as usual i'm
6:14
streaming i'm trying to put our contents
6:17
and work it out i'm getting ready like dennis
6:19
their bomb on the trampoline i'm looking
6:21
for the call and between the call
6:24
i am doing other outside shows him doing comedy
6:26
shows i'm trying to keep my brain moving
6:29
trying to stay inspired the little
6:31
sad that i won't be doing the edinburgh fringe festival
6:33
this year i guess technically i
6:35
could i am now double
6:38
boosted but at the
6:40
time of sign up it just seemed a little
6:42
scary to be a very enclosed
6:44
basement for thirty days straight in
6:46
scotland hindsight maybe
6:49
i would be ready to go at this present times
6:52
who knows those numbers are change in every single week
6:54
i do recommend going back in the seed
6:56
there's so many different edinburgh shows
6:59
live art of residence remember which
7:01
include some pretty famous comedians
7:04
are a she feared chris gathered kyle
7:07
kinane even nikki a the
7:09
seeds before she went to the wwf
7:11
and demo before he was the ww ii great
7:13
oh being a silly goose and so many more
7:15
so i recommend going back in the
7:17
feed checking out those past edinburgh
7:20
shows they're so much fine if you're looking for a
7:22
mixture of both comedy and
7:24

you invested in that set
10:44
up paid off long
10:47
since beta abu zubaydah you know
10:49
when i was it's funny because i was when
10:52
i was inevitable he
10:54
you can call eat when you're themselves as
10:57
it's it's then they got the us out

11:05
minimum five brand now
11:08
i do new japan shows from home the
11:11
u s the court in my computer
11:14
and free software and
11:16
it works great
11:17
was like two hundred or so when you think when
11:19
we think about that stuff i just say
11:22
imagine and twenty years now or thirty
11:24
years from now gonna
11:26
be like how people say you couldn't make it gives a couple
11:29
guess on your i phone but it sounds shitty yeah
11:31
but you'll be able to purchase on your i saw my
11:33
get studio quality desert i bought
11:35
of a little at because i got
11:37
because nice sennheiser headset and
11:41
but i have a usb connection
11:43
for that now so i can take that with
11:45
me when i'm in japan if i
11:47
need to do something there which invariably
11:49
i wind up having to do when you were when you say
11:52
when you indo to yes will get all of it but
11:56
work was there the weather
11:58
radio type was there's i know your c'mon announcing
12:00
stuff
12:02
if we're talking about podcasting and all of that
12:04
like where you a part of the bite this
12:06
or any of that again of stuff like was
12:09
that their idea of like trying to get into
12:11
howard stern type radio or
12:14
it was
12:15
the content for the fledgling
12:17
website which again at first
12:19
when i got there they only had the aol
12:22
the action
12:24
though i know very well yes
12:26
i was a bit as a jack of
12:28
how much long distance you
12:30
know dollars was ran for a my parents know
12:33
very laws of which
12:35
is another thing as saying as saying years right
12:37
in a note on your internet will cost a set a pool
12:39
be free to they will be at it was a
12:43
it was a way to get content it was a way
12:45
to a lot
12:47
of the genesis of the what
12:49
is known as the attitude era came from
12:52
the magazines because vince russo was
12:55
that edit editor in chief
12:57
the pushed
12:59
that philosophy of we
13:01
need to be edgy like we're doing on raw magazine
13:04
the w f magazine was
13:06
you know for everybody but raw was sort of like
13:08
the shoot you know the insides dust and
13:11
that was what he sold vince
13:14
one and why broad
13:16
took a discernably as year track
13:20
they'll bite this was a
13:23
awaited deliver content but also kind
13:25
of be real with people now vince
13:27
russo wanted to be howard stern so
13:30
when he first started doing the shows with the it
13:32
was you know toilet flushing sound effects
13:34
and wacky stuff and
13:36
then then doing it and then we just made
13:38
it more of an interview show was there
13:40
ever radio talk was anything they
13:43
had done the radio wwf before
13:45
i got there before you got and there wasn't
13:49
i never remember any conversation about that
13:51
because the police at the time was that
13:53
terrestrial radio was going to be going
13:55
away it's still
13:57
around and that
13:59
we need the to embrace the new technology
14:01
of the internet and this
14:03
new website w w f dot com to
14:06
have our fans our fans
14:09
could be in control have everything did you have were
14:11
you did you have a lot have it by
14:13
this two seconds to talk it seems like you were kind
14:16
of
14:17
in that world where he was at a part of your worth
14:19
it was it did it wasn't at first when
14:21
i first got hired in june of ninety six
14:23
i was hired is just an announcer
14:26
i didn't do very much so i was bored
14:29
and , got to know vince russo
14:31
when i got to know german season those guys who
14:33
worked on the magazines
14:36
and on the a well side and
14:38
let me right let me do some kind let
14:40
me do something so i started doing that
14:42
and then
14:44
after my first year writing which was
14:46
what you said in magazine says yes okay
14:48
couple of editorial pieces did
14:50
, for i did some interviews
14:54
which the went up mostly
14:56
was like text for it for the a
14:58
while so i feel we're we're the same words
15:01
dislike
15:02
people would think like you got the dream job yet
15:05
higher but nobody us and as as like let
15:07
i i don't want to sit around and do nothing right i
15:09
need to do something i love wrestling sleazy
15:11
i put me to wear and that was it a big
15:13
issue for them with me
15:16
he's wrestling guy haven't done never
15:18
wanted to hire me have you know story
15:20
it's so
15:22
i came up for the audition because vince wanted
15:24
to step away from doing announcing every
15:27
week so they had
15:29
a big casting call brought
15:31
a bunch of people in and we're going to find
15:33
the a replacement announcer okay i'm going to
15:35
stab you love
15:37
where there are people there like with you or was
15:39
at one time and you are only there one at
15:41
a time i saw a attractive
15:43
young lady sitting she had already done her
15:45
audition she was waiting for the car the
15:47
take her back then i went upstairs
15:50

15:53
were like i like as i do have visions and stuff like
15:56
gordon soul is over there and
15:58
i'm like my god i'm lee right the elderly
16:00
people from and like the guy from channel seven news you
16:02
like
16:03
like thomas who are from the news will you
16:05
nine or if i have no idea why they picked
16:07
me but they did and it was a three person
16:10
committee that was in charge
16:12
of the search so it was bruce pritchard
16:15
woman named lisa wolf who at the time was a head
16:17
of hr kevin dunn and
16:21
i got picked to to one haven't
16:24

16:31
after the fact okay yeah honey
16:33
hard to like go to work everyday knowing
16:35
this guy didn't watch it when is it more
16:38
wisely hate me and probably salty that
16:40
you're there he'd never liked business
16:42
and then business found out
16:44
though okay cause
16:47
after the first year didn't
16:49
want me around anymore i only had one year
16:51
contract i move my family to connecticut
16:54
and all on a one year contract thinking
16:56
the going to let me answer could be a problem i'm
16:58
affable forgive me if it's
17:00
bomb but it was out
17:03
and vince russo equal kevin dunn called
17:06
vince mcmahon this was a told me the
17:08
story and i no reason to believe he was lying i
17:11
completely believe in one at recent be truth
17:14
haven't done called vince mcmahon at
17:16
his house writing television with
17:18
vince russo and said i'm letting kevin kelly go
17:20

17:23
the end of his glasses with the look on his face like
17:25
why well
17:28
he is a it's a
17:31
few different random non

reasons and
17:36
vince russo said well he likes to ride

became good friends and travel together
18:37
so it was a
18:41
a trying time for a young guy who owns
18:43
twenty nine thirty years old and wife
18:45
and it's it's one year old baby and burn
18:49
so but it all worked out yet
18:51
did you
18:52

18:54
you go you stick to writing and and
18:56
the other technical stuff ice i stayed i was
18:58
the may i was made the managing editor of wwf
19:01
publications with with a separate
19:03
paychecks knows all lumped in on
19:05
one but i was on
19:07
i had no idea what a managing editor did her
19:10
i had to learn what's the job was so i went
19:12
to the publisher
19:14
the magazines and said okay this
19:16

19:19
nervous saying that knowing that they would known
19:21
as the i did as right we just gave just like
19:23

19:26
these were bag as he professionals that were
19:28

19:30
so was the editor in chief but they
19:32

23:34
the brooklyn brawler other young rock
23:36
the tv show yes it can

23:41
brawler wrestling the rock in his first madison
23:44
wi there for the sentence
23:47
i turn the i know corpus christi
23:50
then the next night he worked chris candido i
23:54
think i was
23:56
there were none of that he
23:58
said no and i try
24:00
remember it over the years yeah that might
24:02
have been on how shows or was on
24:04
ourselves then i didn't see okay the first
24:06
match i do remember him wrestling was
24:08
against oh and heart which was a dark matter
24:10
tv
24:12
the for survivor series yes yes
24:14
i and owen hart well
24:16
cyber so that was this
24:19
is after memphis yeah okay
24:21
read because in this your i learned
24:23
the show that like does he do
24:25
matches get sent to memphis and then they
24:28
will be met this forever and and eventually says can
24:30
run and it was a that
24:33
was the the beginning the genesis of the
24:35
developmental system so he
24:37
was training with doctor tom in
24:39
the warehouse and stanford along with
24:41
mark henry the brackets
24:44
and the then
24:48
mark was learning from scratch
24:50
so was brock as dwayne
24:52
was a prodigy and
24:55
it was just do
24:57
it do more of this and less of that
24:59
would you walk into this to the
25:01
was got tracks know this was before
25:03
track okay he was in the physical
25:06
television studio got they had the
25:09
warehouse where back of the day
25:12
this was where they store all the march
25:14
so there was still boxes emerged like trapped
25:17
in the corner and you know would if they needed
25:19
a set piece or something like that then
25:22
there was a ring it was the old alaska
25:24
ring
25:25
they had brought back from
25:27
courtney said they did read alaska anymore
25:30
was so this ringlets stairs
25:32
it was one of those old stiff rings so
25:34
they had built of a ring just to keep in alaska
25:37
there is a they had had a ring in
25:39
alaska for how shows just for the
25:41
year over the you know with years okay and
25:43
then they'd the ring got shipped back to connecticut no
25:46
need for the alaska loop to have their own ring anymore
25:49
and that became the training ring
25:51
the doctor tom
25:53
you know put the dwayne and market in brackets
25:56
through a would you walk into better oh yeah was
25:58
an open area which is in fact you could
26:00
not see it because you would go through the reception
26:02
area the door wide open up and you'd be staring
26:04
at the rink the you look at these guys
26:06
are you like while they are the
26:09
future you like look how green these fucking
26:11
as i was there was always
26:13
something good about the
26:15
all of them and and everybody
26:17
in there wasn't a lot of screaming and yelling
26:19
because these were not kids off the street
26:22
you know these were trained professional athletes
26:24
who looked fantastic
26:26
specially brock as my god and
26:30
you know dwayne was their mark henry was there and tom
26:32
was there and they were working hard and sweat and a lot
26:34
and we'd go out to eat every once in awhile
26:37
just laugh and joke and know when you get to the
26:40
when you get to in those show there's this backstage
26:42
area you know pad and bruce in there
26:44
are looking at it
26:46
iraqi nato it's written but you know brian's writing
26:48
on the shelves yet so
26:50
the when or when they get though that own heart what's
26:52
the what's the mumbling in
26:54
gorilla position or are you angry i was in
26:56
the girl a position for that because we were getting
26:59
ready to go out next to do the syndicated
27:01
stella
27:02
it was well the first thing to happen
27:05
oh and at the time had a cast on his
27:07
arm the yeah
27:09
supporting cast and
27:11
, not wanting to work the left
27:13
arm because he saw of oh and had a for of can harm
27:15
grabbed the right and oh it very quickly switch
27:18
hands it's idiotic over the last assess
27:21
the last hissing reflects on a cast
27:23
yeah
27:24
look at it and it was
27:26
so everybody pop did that just
27:28
because our made us laugh and and
27:30
then the match was great and
27:33
pat was there bruce there there i think
27:35
vince was there too and
27:38
they were like this guy's got
27:40
it you've got everything we want pat was a
27:42
huge proponent yeah that
27:44
i was portrayed ghetto to that's very
27:46
accurate
27:47
that's cool okay ,
27:50
start with you
27:53
you didn't grow your pussy or with your parents
27:55
and grow up in the magazine business know
27:58
those are funny because my dad was in moving
28:00
industry of in years later i become a wrestler but i
28:02
really just become a clothing just entrepreneur
28:04
hereditary sales of
28:07
my dad was dad photographer and
28:10
shot news for newspapers
28:13
in new york the cupboard
28:15
a couple of madison square garden shows back
28:18
in the sixties so your new york
28:20
it new york then one
28:22
part
28:23
in the city i was born in staten island
28:25
lived in queens and then when i was nine
28:27
we moved to florida
28:29
my grandfather passed away my dad
28:31
was willed the house and he had he
28:33
had opportunity to set up at press
28:35
service for the local
28:37
radio stations etc so we went
28:39
down there the business tanked and
28:42
you know for you've been around the stuff yeah
28:44
for years and it was so
28:46
i know i didn't have it interest necessarily
28:49
in photography your journalism
28:52
but the first thing when
28:54
i we got tv hooked
28:56
and the cable guy we didn't have
28:58
cable the new york cable ,
29:01
came on saturday and said upper cable and i
29:03
turned the t v on and the first voice
29:05
first heard was gordon's so
29:08
i started watching jeb your blessing for florida and
29:10
them so
29:11
that was what i wanted to be able guy in florida man
29:13
yours cable guy in florida hooked
29:16
up the table on our tv when we moved
29:18
to florida gotcha did your dad enjoy that the
29:20
wrestling the first time i
29:22
saw it we were still
29:24
in new york and i had it was saturday
29:26
night late was on at midnight and
29:28
i was up because i had a stomach ache are
29:30
certainly wouldn't feel good and dabs
29:32
up watching whatever was on before
29:35
wrestling than wrestling started i was a glue wrestling
29:37
and he got up student from the tv
29:39
and said let me tell you what this is all about so
29:42
fake solo show all this all that i
29:44
, care boof boof this
29:46
was after he had taken pictures and medicines
29:48
yes as he and he explained to explained
29:51
that like he said does one
29:53
guy was bleeding out of his mouth in the corner
29:56
and mouth in whoever was said
29:58
hey get a shot of this and
30:00
spit this big huge movie a blood
30:02
out and so dad got the shot
30:04
year and he was like out all show so
30:07
being a father
30:08
looking back at that what what is your
30:11
thoughts and a zed trying to do that i don't know
30:14
he knows trying to protect me i guess in some way
30:16
i do with my kids because now kids have
30:18
two boys and i always i
30:20
always told them that it was physical
30:22
and very real
30:24
like you know there was a lot of show business
30:26
to it and
30:28
, of that neither of them really had
30:30
like an interest that there is no family
30:33
business neither of my sons are gonna follow
30:35
my footsteps in the announcing for
30:37
a year telling them that just because like
30:39
it's coming up you as a kid you are all
30:41
looking at a totally out of the thought about as
30:43
as soon as i got to florida and by in the magazines
30:46
and i'm i've been obsessed fan
30:48
nine ten years old and
30:51
finding into the fan club you know dusty
30:53
rhodes my favorite wrestler
30:55
it was awesome ah in it was
30:57
like the first that when
30:59
i move there i'm in new york kid in
31:02
florida
31:02
they all make fun of my accent and
31:05
everybody wanted to beat me up everyday have you
31:07
worked on your accent i
31:09
wouldn't economic said that you are from new york
31:11
and it went away just one with yeah because
31:14
i didn't get a southern accent from living in florida
31:17
but i can sound
31:19
the country if i want you know i
31:22
would have thought you were in new york
31:24
accent softened
31:26
though you just want a i'm from like ohio
31:28
read somewhere in the middle equal the midwest right
31:31
okay but , that was able
31:33
is hard to make some friends maybe our florida
31:36
terrible but wrestling was like
31:38
the one thing that thing gravitated
31:41
towards and i never wanted to be a wrestler
31:44
i always wanted to be the announcer and
31:47
the matches themselves didn't that
31:49
was also watch matches on t v casey
31:51
get a good match but
31:53
i mostly cared about the interview segments and the angles
31:55
that was what excited so that
31:58
was what i was always drawn to and did you find the
32:00
kid that like wrestling one man
32:03
and he became my best friend okay the
32:05
ever do anything with wrestling or is like that is
32:08
they obsess like you did he
32:10
came to a ring of honor show
32:12
when we were in lan at you wrestled jay
32:14
lethal two or three false oh others and
32:17
the giant conference room
32:20
oh my gosh it was and
32:22
you know he was always like he was like wow
32:24
i can't leave it yet over the years you
32:27
believe you did this i can't believe you know he he got
32:29
in the car business that he became a
32:31
banker and he
32:33
said
32:34
rich suburb and guy now and
32:37
, been struggling wrestling announcer where the circus
32:39
right yeah right right it's
32:41
the life i chose and and life
32:43
you chose the of course so
32:46
are you got when you start getting like sixteen
32:48
and just are going to the matches and all
32:51
time here for as you write are you
32:55
maybe explain the gym to prison for florida whoop
32:57
and where you are are
33:00
you in tampa bay going to the most of the sports
33:02
or hymns yeah no i was on the other side i was on the
33:04
other coast okay so if i went to
33:06
a wrestling it was either monday night west palm
33:08
beach auditorium with the occasional
33:11
thursday spot show in fort pierce
33:13
at the st lucie county civic center and as i
33:15
got older they started running sing lucy
33:18
more so i went
33:20
that was like twenty minutes closer than west palm
33:23
and who would your pick would anybody
33:25
take you with your mom and dad or is it today
33:28
my dad got sick when sick was
33:30
eleven years old he had he had so he
33:32
was you know basically an invalid
33:36
and my mom didn't really
33:38
have much interest in driving me anywhere
33:41
so i would wait for friends
33:43
you know tried to talk people into go with the them once
33:45
i got sixteen and sixteen was driving than driving
33:48
went everywhere on my own the when i was younger my
33:50
dad took be the first show i went to
33:52
was at west palm and harley
33:55
race and rocky johnson were the main event none
33:58
that i did not a tie and
34:01
i was scared to death of jolla duke because
34:04
he did an angle on tv with jimmy garvin and
34:07
i had nightmares and
34:11
when it when he came out like the fourth batch
34:13
i hope prayed that he
34:15
didn't see me and
34:17
he didn't believe or not he didn't come after
34:19
me and yeah
34:22
so there was just and i probably went to

though hang out with the correct term
35:56
the they had had your
35:58
way into professional wrestling it is it's
36:00
over the wrestlers is
36:02
pretty cut and dry i think you go get trained to pay
36:04
someone and money the be the should add you then
36:07
i feel everyone on the fringe of wrestlers
36:10
i don't have as the correct term didn't like ray like
36:12
the fringe of the interviewers the booker's the the
36:15
other and we still get as those discussions
36:17
i'm sure you more than me he says they had you do it
36:19
and it's like well there is no school so it's like you can
36:21
have to decide a friend everybody
36:24
at hope that one day something opens
36:26
up the you kind of get a foot in and then you just push
36:29
and push ray do i do it
36:31
was the luckiest of way so
36:33

38:23
then he said hey
38:27
after i did the ring announcer anybody unless you're we
38:29
would have known on the tommy rodgers was in the main event
38:33
and it was so poor
38:35
down rain were under a tent
38:37
they close the fair but the wrestling was still going
38:39
on because they'd sold tickets
38:41
so there was like twenty five ticket buyers
38:43
and all the carnies
38:45
the bride's reset the and road have craft
38:50
and we had
38:52
we had fun it was just awesome i got to be ring
38:54
announcer professional wrestling and tommy rogers and
38:56
the main event and ,
38:58
later i saw i ran into him in memphis
39:01
tommy and i said hey by the way
39:03
you are on the very first show that i was on and
39:05
i told him about it and he's like i
39:07
remember that show it for down rain
39:10
we thought the show was disrespectful as much
39:12
as
39:15
and it's weird with of the stuff like
39:17
wouldn't bother us we've done thousands and shows
39:20
and sometimes and yeah i'm sure you saw it
39:22
no way i wrote you like iran does match
39:24
because this is my first show course no a
39:26
tiny rodgers remember i didn't i didn't
39:28
think he were no it's i've said up take
39:31
a funny story tommy and you probably don't remember them
39:33
since the weird shows they just stick in our mind and
39:35
he certainly did but
39:37
then the guy
39:39
who was the promoter chris anderson got
39:41
higher for a fledgling television start
39:43
up in orlando and said hey i
39:46
i think i got you an audition
39:48
sweet and he got a bunch of us auditions
39:50

50:10
i was almost done with the business as common carriers
50:12
ring announcer ring announcer ribs is who's northern
50:15
up and vhs tapes are that no
50:17
sign of his isn't as none of none of it when
50:21
i got to sit in and learn from a lot
50:23
of really good folks like cuban assassin
50:25
take sierra nasty that brady
50:28
guys that were veterans that new
50:31
how tv should be done and
50:34
new how
50:35
live events needed to be produced so
50:38
they let me sit in cuba was great was he let me
50:40
sit in on finish meetings
50:42
and that was really like the first time i had exposure
50:44
to that and
50:46
he used the eddie graham vernacular
50:48
to describe a finnish when the time is right
50:53
though but that was where i met dwayne
50:55
the first time in
50:57
hudson florida
50:58
that a small city center raw small city
51:01
show with rocky johnson in the main event
51:04
and he's in the finish beating his
51:06
wrestling to been in the finish
51:08
was when the time's right
51:11
that brady hits the ring dq and
51:14
we beat you down the will run out the baby
51:16
faces to make the safe iraq
51:18
he says on it's fun i got my kid here with
51:21
me tonight
51:22
he's gonna do something in wrestling would it be okay
51:24
if he made the safe sure
51:26
why not so down
51:29
you know everything's going to form
51:32
non for rocky johnson and
51:34
out where in his number ninety four university of miami
51:36
jersey that trend slides
51:38
in throws us
51:40
open hand punches like we seen and
51:42
cleans house and since the you'll scattering
51:44
services when services when just
51:47
like i have training with rocky a sense
51:49
i think so yeah he does in college he was
51:51
still playing for university miami gotcha
51:54
and i think had
51:56
you know the bog writer sure that
51:59
was pro
52:00
the just train was rocky wherever and so funny
52:02
and and that was the first time i met him
52:04
hudson florida at a flea market
52:06
you enough that was in the nether that specific
52:09
one is in the show but the idea of wreckage as in doing
52:12
these shows was in the show the n b c show
52:14
right that i'm a part of the unwrap
52:16
watch it and and business is it it's ah
52:20
but i do watch the show
52:22
as show as knowing
52:24
that he was this territorial guy and i see stories
52:27
about him working at circuit city
52:30
an accent in the senate like blows
52:32
my mind you know he was on tap he's making
52:34
money it's like where did all go did
52:37
it was a relationship with rocky johnson at that
52:40
point or the where you could like that you
52:42
could make understand it or see it or see the
52:44
frustration or understand his
52:46
mindset i bet
52:48
again growing up when i did you know he
52:50
he and tony atlas were tag team champions
52:52
and he was a top guy in georgia and etc
52:55
etc
52:57
i never understood like
52:59
why i didn't even think about
53:01
the why i do now though and
53:03
how did he what happened to his money
53:05
because he had to have made good money right
53:09
you know things happen with
53:11
my weird to see him like coming from
53:13
a job it
53:15
that a you're watching him come to the arena
53:17
the circuit city wasn't taken as i can always
53:19
it off as
53:21
what we didn't i didn't really know what like what
53:23
these guys did in a he was in shape he
53:25
was veteran guy older guy
53:29
one in college i assumed aegis did this for
53:31
fun or , to keep busy
53:35
and was weird when i first went wayne
53:37
you know it was kind of like
53:39
he didn't want to push his dad too much
53:41
into the act and
53:44
, was a little bit of hesitancy their i
53:46
think from his part to have dad
53:48
and bob dad eventually did get involved a little
53:50
bit
53:51
then it kind of went away and then they hired
53:54
rocky to be one of the trainers it'll be w
53:56
that didn't last too long because it was some
53:58
guys they're on top and
54:00
eight they may not know how to teach
54:03
they know what they did to get themselves
54:05
over to get their match over but they may not be great
54:08
to teach i don't think dwayne needed
54:10
teaching i think he just was naturally
54:13
he was gonna get it no matter what are
54:16
, see you would you would have been so you
54:18
about the about the quit wrestling yeah ninety
54:21
four i was like this sucks and dine dine
54:24
your dream their i know but it
54:26
wasn't really going anywhere and
54:29
my wife and i were talking about have the baby and
54:32
, was like maybe i maybe this
54:34
i maybe and then i got hired
54:36
the radio show that
54:38
was a very popular in florida
54:41
at the time and
54:43
a morning show they wanted to do
54:45
wrestling because one of the guy
54:47
says watley who just passed away recently

54:54
was was a blood wrestling did
54:56

58:50
but the only other one that had power over
58:53
him was shawn michaels

59:57
the lineups had a constantly change one of the biggest
1:00:00
it has was jim ross would book

1:01:19
there a moment
1:01:20
that you have that like your stamp on
1:01:23
w w f at that time history
1:01:25
that's maybe you behind the scenes of people
1:01:28
don't know about or something that you're really and
1:01:30
i got gonna hate like exact questions
1:01:32
but i don't have nothing comes on it's not good
1:01:34
because i'd i'd there were a couple
1:01:36
things that he did vince russo was sort of stuck
1:01:39
for , big
1:01:42
moment of a match or main event or
1:01:44
whatever it was for the upcoming weeks wrong
1:01:47
wrong it was the time that steve had won the belt
1:01:50
from steve austin and won the belt from sean
1:01:52
and vince was doing the you know
1:01:55
he wanted a corporate champion in
1:01:58
he's these did when a new champion was the
1:02:00
the crowd the next raw
1:02:03
show vince would present
1:02:05
a belt to the new champion shame because from what
1:02:08
this time with steve he wore the belt vincent
1:02:10
it down a ringside and i
1:02:12
came up with the idea while vincent irish
1:02:14
resort irish are at lunch at lunch at of you root
1:02:17
beer at the stanford mall
1:02:20
who is steve austin
1:02:22
is annoyed that vince mcmahon
1:02:24
worth belt and you keep talking about a corporate
1:02:26
champion what you're really talking about his you vince
1:02:29
so many give you a shot here
1:02:31
and you know we can do is easy
1:02:33
way reduce a hardware easy ways you
1:02:35
face me in the base incidents of the dub dub we have jpg
1:02:38
of hard way as i beat your ass right here
1:02:40
right now and vince mcmahon
1:02:42
versus stone cold steve austin the main
1:02:44
event knowing that they wanted to get to dude
1:02:46
love dude comes down to say
1:02:48
whoa brothers peace and love
1:02:51
peace and love any turns on steve the
1:02:53
and vince result like holy shit that's
1:02:56
great we went
1:02:58
back to the office adhesive what he did i said what he can
1:03:00
do some would try to get him with vincent
1:03:02
talk to him about it's best finally
1:03:04
called him up to the office he sat down with vinci
1:03:06
came back down twenty minutes later how to do the
1:03:09
word for it holy shit so like the
1:03:11
idea of of
1:03:13
a steve vs vince match
1:03:17
you always that it in passing to get to something
1:03:19
else been a week it was the
1:03:22
how to get how to get to do love that's
1:03:24
insane yeah but like so this is a really
1:03:26
small idea in
1:03:29
that promo with the big idea of do that
1:03:31
versus disease the
1:03:34
said yes and then a literally the
1:03:36
kinda big became the whole companies
1:03:38
are you kidding it was
1:03:41
and the other thing that i pitched which they did
1:03:45
i had the idea that vince and this came
1:03:47
from my wife because we're both big soap opera fans
1:03:50
and , whole love triangle thing
1:03:52
with ah
1:03:54
the funny and test and
1:03:57
you know where they're going to get married this
1:03:59
that well triple h of course
1:04:01
being the thorn in the side events would do anything he could
1:04:03
to try to ruin anything vince wanted
1:04:06
and ruining the wedding would be the
1:04:08
best way to do it now what i pitch
1:04:10
was different than what they did stephanie
1:04:12
at the time had gotten deemed like the
1:04:14
week before got caught up in the wash and some fight
1:04:18
and i the
1:04:20
it like okay so something happens again
1:04:22
and she gets you knock loopy
1:04:25
ah and then later on the night after
1:04:27
the main event what there's a wedding
1:04:30
going on then we see the
1:04:32
longhair you know the shop from behind
1:04:34
stephanie and her dress we assume it's
1:04:36
test and then she turns
1:04:38
it is gonna loopy actors you know exchanging
1:04:41
vows you made me the happiest women's
1:04:43
world and
1:04:44
that testers triple h o you have no idea how
1:04:46
happy you just made me so i came from the young
1:04:48
and restless the problem is it's all my children
1:04:51
and so i brought
1:04:53
it up in a big email and
1:04:56
that it events have done
1:04:58
jr cetera et cetera and vince real back
1:05:00
in five minutes all caps that's great yeah and
1:05:03
chain was one that i sent it to sing came down to
1:05:05
my office and i just crazy
1:05:08
i'm a big did it their own way but eventually
1:05:10
was what we got no are you on the writing team are
1:05:12
you just timing issue the timing sit in there
1:05:15
was not a writing team where people upset by
1:05:17
this do you think no i
1:05:19
don't think i've been as a wrestling works ma'am i don't
1:05:21
know what's his life he's sending and shit who
1:05:23
knows everyone is it was kind of a thing
1:05:25
at the time was sort of an open they were saying
1:05:27
please send in i was an open submissions a
1:05:29
good and vince never had a problem with it and
1:05:33
i don't remember any other stuff
1:05:35
i would have sent him a just i would email
1:05:37
you know kind of foster the show or
1:05:39
whatever and couple people did that but
1:05:42
ah it was it would
1:05:44
just i had a spark of an idea so
1:05:46
that was it was it thinking so i was about longevity
1:05:49
and wrestling it's hard for announced
1:05:51
and especially after years no
1:05:53
longer with that the time the only company that's on television
1:05:56
right at the time
1:05:58
was w c the you the
1:06:01
gone when i'm gone when you were gone yet
1:06:03
when you
1:06:04
parted ways the only thing that was going was dna
1:06:07
for which was just getting started and as soon
1:06:09
as i got fired which i knew was gonna
1:06:11
happen because they were just cutting cutting
1:06:13
cutting to buy department we simply signal
1:06:16
gallons and though
1:06:18
i got home and i call jeff jarrett and
1:06:21
just that i would love it but i don't have any money to
1:06:23
pay
1:06:25
i said well if anything changes let me know
1:06:28
another never changed and you assume you are scrambling
1:06:30
to stay in wrestling or you're like i have the skill
1:06:32
i need to put it to you i was scrambling trying
1:06:35
to get a job of i
1:06:37
was out of work eleven months and
1:06:40
was in danger of
1:06:42
losing our house to foreclosure
1:06:45
and then i've tweaked my resume
1:06:48
instead of emphasizing the television portion
1:06:51
of it but i went to the sales portion
1:06:53
of there was always selling
1:06:55
wrestling is sales that's what i became
1:06:57
i became sales
1:07:00
what what was your tweet would you say you
1:07:02
sold
1:07:03
they produce a slip of jacket sell
1:07:06
merchandise year old live
1:07:08
event tickets sold sold salt
1:07:11
and and just kind of kept a foot in wrestling
1:07:13
and then he and indexing
1:07:15
as i guess it's i mean how is especially
1:07:19
if you're not
1:07:20
bring your body , the land you
1:07:22
worry about like as you're getting older like
1:07:25
like mean you're obviously the best but like you
1:07:28
know i were is a wrestler lego of in my forties
1:07:30
know they stop using me ah
1:07:33
i don't have that stuff is that's the is that's
1:07:35
creeps into your head of this is my own paranoia is
1:07:38
a kind of worry about ah
1:07:41
my mind the at some
1:07:43
point i'm going to lose my mind my
1:07:45
voice the
1:07:48
and at that point it'll be time to go plus
1:07:50
i travel back and forth to japan so how
1:07:52
long am i gonna want to make the slightest sniffle
1:07:54
if you know greatest
1:07:57
at the beginning right answer is answer addictive
1:08:00
ah notified can
1:08:02
i can be more the last minute and leave
1:08:04
first the know
1:08:06
it's it's cool and the folks in
1:08:09
the new japan side and the tv say
1:08:11
sides are wonderful
1:08:13
they make my life so easy
1:08:15
no stress and
1:08:17
then i mean i know dave meltzer isn't the
1:08:20
end all be all as professional wrestling
1:08:22
but you know
1:08:24
there is all this time where
1:08:26
him comes very high new job and usa because
1:08:28
they had your the voice of new japan
1:08:31
and after years of maybe like not
1:08:33
getting any
1:08:35
would you say awards i'm from melted but me from
1:08:37
the wrestling world if
1:08:39
you're you're all the sudden
1:08:41
recognizing the work you do it
1:08:44
is nice as a good as a grad of gratifying
1:08:46
was like hey i i told you fuckers no
1:08:48
no no no i was very gratifying
1:08:51
it really was just to be
1:08:54
in that class of it
1:08:56
again gordon solely you know kind
1:08:58
of like
1:08:59
these he was recognized during his era
1:09:01
when there were so many great announcers of
1:09:04
, you know the best and now
1:09:07
the field is much smaller so
1:09:09
i'm at it's like being the valedictorian
1:09:11
in of classifies it has
1:09:14
nothing to feel the smaller now oh you're
1:09:16
saying is territories there isn't much or and right
1:09:18
there with everybody was on television and and
1:09:20
there was all these different people you could choose from
1:09:22
voices regionally ah
1:09:24
of i mean you had gordon
1:09:27
solely lance russell vince mcmahon jim
1:09:29
ross bob
1:09:31
caudal like cetera et cetera all these legendary
1:09:33
names and now there's the
1:09:36
the w w f e announcers
1:09:39
are criticized because
1:09:41
the product is so bad
1:09:42
right and you know they
1:09:45
w announcers have gotten a great deal
1:09:47
of credit and justifiably soaks they do really
1:09:49
good job and the tony sumani
1:09:51
coming back you know it's been a nice story so
1:09:53
yeah just feel good to be recognized you
1:09:57
i see that it's the defeat of you eat
1:09:59
announcer the road it
1:10:01
just seems like everyone loves them they
1:10:03
communism the new announcer to seems ago
1:10:06
an ongoing seem they come in his newfound now
1:10:08
announcer and i'll just put like mess
1:10:11
striker and maybe corey graves a you know
1:10:13
but you know it's a namely but like whatever but i think
1:10:15
we see them everyone's ah yes they know wrestling
1:10:17
they get wrestling and then people
1:10:19
seem to like spite on these people
1:10:23
i'm guessing right or wrong or why i'm saying wrong
1:10:25
i hate it as of as someone my friends
1:10:27
like kind of forgetting his love
1:10:29
and then the world almost turning
1:10:32
on them a little bit
1:10:35
is that like have seemed just from a from
1:10:37
a wrestling from arresting and also standpoint looking
1:10:39
at it is better seem to be that place
1:10:42
or is it is it a hard business
1:10:44
from the correctly announcer to like stay
1:10:47
hot i guess it's
1:10:49
the boy it's easy to stay hot when you work for the
1:10:51
companies that i've worked for guess who i work for
1:10:53
ring of honor when it really
1:10:56
was fantastic not
1:10:58
, early days fantastic but the later
1:11:00
the hitter it's stride if they had you
1:11:02
know again it was remarkable and then i went from there
1:11:04
to new japan at its the enough
1:11:07
so it's been pretty easy for me to kind of
1:11:09
ride the coattails of promotions that are good i've
1:11:12
never worked for anybody that's terrible news
1:11:15
and
1:11:16
i don't know what that would be like a at
1:11:18
the is it because they change do
1:11:20
they change their style because vince is in their
1:11:22
ear or are they still doing their
1:11:25
same thing but because the product is so bad
1:11:27
that they get the lane
1:11:29
we're not changing not he you're
1:11:31
you're such a good announcer and yet
1:11:33
you're having to explain all this nonsense
1:11:36
and your credibility is in the toilet
1:11:38
though i never have had do
1:11:40
that when you were there is in ninety six seven
1:11:42
eight or whatever did you see like the fans
1:11:44
like did you read read the room almost
1:11:47
of like people turning on announcers
1:11:50
did he will turn on you know because
1:11:52
i'm not trying to wrestling fans you know now because
1:11:54
if the product was getting hot yoga it
1:11:56
was common up and the
1:11:59
time we got denied in two thousand it was as
1:12:01
hard as ever
1:12:03
i'm an armed with the twitter version was back there
1:12:05
like message boards and a o l the
1:12:07
grants their whatever out of the only thing we ever
1:12:09
did for aol was we would do
1:12:12
poll the end of a paper view
1:12:14
then we would provide the some comments
1:12:16
and the poll results to vince and
1:12:19
if the baby face one the main event
1:12:21
overwhelmingly thumbs up with a whole show
1:12:24
and the opposite was true if the
1:12:26
hill one and so we were given
1:12:29
these
1:12:30
reports to vince every time and vents lee
1:12:33
i talked with about it i said pretty ,
1:12:35
same ah so the no real
1:12:37
need for it anymore is located the
1:12:41
it shows or every unpatriotic
1:12:43
this will be the last break and there will
1:12:45
be ripe the man
1:12:47
can you tell me the about
1:12:50
sitting there and what like the difference of
1:12:53
announcing matches for steve austin announcing
1:12:57
matches for like okada the
1:13:00
you you
1:13:02
you look back and then tell yourself
1:13:05
like
1:13:06
this this get one guy was bigger than the
1:13:08
other guy or this is like how it is this
1:13:10
is what main event wrestling is the of what what
1:13:12
are your thoughts when you can compare the
1:13:15
big names that you've been able to do main
1:13:17
event guys do very little they
1:13:20
do their best stuff then
1:13:23
they put it right spots you can see
1:13:25
it as
1:13:27
when i look at the evolution of wrestlers over time
1:13:29
when the most recently we're talking about it with l desperado
1:13:32
in the junior heavyweight ranks to right now for
1:13:34
me for my money is the best at that weight
1:13:36
class he he's amazing
1:13:39
when he wrestled a bushy and twenty fourteen
1:13:43
he was drawn a bunch of stuff it was hoping
1:13:45
to see what stuck
1:13:46
now he's gotta figured out and he does less
1:13:48
and what gets a better reaction when he was and where
1:13:50
i mean when he was a no a with me the
1:13:53
dude i just a dude yeah he wrestled
1:13:55
like a due back in the day but our star
1:13:58
and once you figure out how to wrestling star
1:14:01
then you just make sure that you're putting your stuff
1:14:03
in that whoever
1:14:05
my opponent is let them do their thing
1:14:08
the to wrestle your match but i'm gonna get
1:14:10
my stuff in and of at the end of gonna get
1:14:12
my henry's what about comparing the time has
1:14:14
she to a townhouse you know gotta to
1:14:17
austin the like you're in the arena you're seeing
1:14:20
i mean i know that was maybe the peak
1:14:22
of wrestling ninety eight writer
1:14:24
that is there like do you see the comparisons
1:14:26
are are are you like these guys you just can't
1:14:28
be like steve austin he was one in a million or whatever
1:14:31
do it again steve austin in iraq
1:14:34
versus okada tallahassee
1:14:36
there
1:14:37
they're so different but they have that aura
1:14:39
about them and they
1:14:42
give the people
1:14:44
what they want and
1:14:48
again just do it in such a way it's
1:14:50
a bit master
1:14:52
psychology all four of them were in
1:14:54
their own way steve was that constantly
1:14:56
, had to stay on him and stay on him and stay on
1:14:58
him and takahashi leave him alone let him stay
1:15:01
terrence out ah and
1:15:04
okada is more like the rock in
1:15:06
terms of pure athleticism and being
1:15:08
able to overcome whatever
1:15:11
you know the opponent throws out just
1:15:13
an amazing stuff so yeah there
1:15:15
are there are similarities than differences
1:15:18
but there's that are that presence and when
1:15:20
you can when somebody comes out the
1:15:22
music hits and you get that law
1:15:25
reaction in japan it's like okay this guy's
1:15:27
getting to that level and
1:15:30
you know hero move has it nato
1:15:32
has it of there's there's guys
1:15:34
up and down the card to do
1:15:36
when when you get to that level then it's like okay
1:15:39
now i'm playing with house money i
1:15:41
made i'm all set i don't have to do
1:15:43
anything else and it's fun to watch as
1:15:45
, spectator as a commentator and and accommodate
1:15:48
also completely i love it and
1:15:50
it because sometimes i'm trying
1:15:52
to figure out how to say less that's
1:15:55
good and that's another thing that i do now is
1:15:57
i say less than i ever have before i
1:16:00
let the pictures tell the story especially
1:16:03
if they're doing a strike exchange one to one
1:16:05
to what am i gonna say let's
1:16:07
hear it let's hear the strikes let's hear the
1:16:09
crowd that
1:16:12
the lesson that you kind of taught
1:16:14
yourself good do
