Speaker 2:That's what we do, buddy Road Trip After Hours. I'm doing good today, man, and first thing before we kick off here, we do that for everybody Road trip after hours. This gentleman here does not do podcasts, okay, I'm going to let y'all know that right now, so I have to have him come on and be with me and Mac. It's certainly an honor, man, and I certainly really appreciate it.
Speaker 1:First of all, our guest is a WWE All-The-Famer himself. He is none other than Mr JBL John Bradshaw-Layfield. Hey John, how you doing? I'm doing great. I want to tell you something Teddy Long is one of the best people on the entire planet, but he's also the cheapest person on the entire planet. Hey Patrick, grab some Krabby Patties and come on over.

Speaker 2:Man know, good luck with everything ladies and gentlemen, I am tony chimmel and welcome to road trips after hours. Please welcome your host mac david and wwe hall of famer hello everybody.
Speaker 1:Welcome to an all-new episode of the Wrestling's Road Trip After Hours. See how close that got, teddy, I knew you were. Hey, look here. We do this each and every week here on YouTube and wherever you find your favorite podcasts if you're just listening to us. But we do encourage you to go by YouTube, subscribe onto YouTube, get that notification bell, because that helps this show grow and because of you. So far we are at. Let's see episode 101, I believe Teddy right now and the Teddy I'm talking about for those of you who I've not introduced yet Mr WWE Hall of Famer, teddy Long. Hey, teddy.
Speaker 2:Hey, if they don't know me by now, then don't worry about it. If you don't, there's a song out there.
Speaker 1:If you don't, know me by now, I'll give it a go. How you doing, brother?
Speaker 2:Hey man, I'm just hanging in here player.
Speaker 1:I hear you. I'm loving this cooler air, though, man, we were talking the other day and we were talking about you and Rufus, and I know you have to be enjoying this weather in the afternoons now, because it's not near as hot as it had been.
Speaker 2:Well, it's hot today.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, it's gotten back up around the 90s again today here. So, yeah, it's creeping back in, but at least you know fall's coming. I'm watching all the trees in the backyard now dropping leaves everywhere, so you know it's just around the corner. Teddy, I saw something. Rikishi we've talked about him a couple of times on this show, and Rikishi, who is? For those of you who do not know, and most of you do, I know, but he's the father to both Jimmy and Jay Uso and Solo Sokoa. He is the actual father, but he made a post on X just recently, teddy, causing a lot of people to get kind of worried about the health of Jimmy. He says, quote, and this is Rikishi saying this Dear God, prayers for strength and health to continue, jimmy Uso. The words were also accompanied by a video of Jimmy reciting a prayer. Teddy, do you know any? I wasn't even aware that Jimmy had any kind of health concerns at all. I haven't heard anything. So is that something you have any wind of?
Speaker 2:No, I don't know anything about that. The first I'm hearing is what you're just saying now. So you know you got to look at things like that. You know that just really don't come out. You know that's kind of family and so people try and keep that to themselves. You know what I mean, Just like. Maybe, like I said, I don't know, I'm going to comment on this, I don't know, but they were saying that Sid Vicious died from cancer. Well, I never knew he had cancer and then, like I said, if his family knew, then that's something that you don't share, you don't tell people. So, whatever happened, maybe that may be the same with Jey Uso.
Speaker 2:Like I said, I don't know and I've never known of him having any kind of ailment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's Jimmy. Now Jimmy has been out for a while. You know we see Jey all the time, main event Jey Uso, but Jimmy, really, I don't think we've seen him since the brother versus brother match. I don't think he's been back since then, and that match wasn't the greatest match. Everybody had high expectations for that match and it didn't deliver. And they acknowledged it didn't deliver what it should have, but I just never heard of any health issues coming as far as Jimmy. So it was kind of surprising for Rikishi to make those comments, and a part of me, though, Teddy, and it goes back to what you were just saying some those comments and a part of me, though, Teddy, and it goes back to what you were just saying some things you just don't put out there. You know what I mean, which makes me wonder is this a little bait, maybe? Maybe there's something more to this. Could it be a work?
Speaker 2:Well, I don't know, man. I don't see Rikishi playing with ailment or something that may be wrong with one of his kids. I don't see him joking or maybe making a storyline out of that. Like I said, we don't know, but I think this is something serious and I think we just have to sit back and just wait and see how this plays out.
Speaker 1:Look and if this is a legit shoot he is not doing well, you know certainly, teddy and I, both wishing success and quick heal for whatever it may be.
Speaker 2:Well, I've known them ever since they were babies. I used to go down to Pensacola, florida, when I first broke into the wrestling business and Rikishi was living in Pensacola and that's where Alph and Seeker was also living and they had the school down there and everything. So I knew Jay and Jimmy when they were just little bitty babies, man, so yeah.
Speaker 1:We need to get Rikishi on here one day we can talk. I know we mentioned it to him before and he said, yeah, but we just haven't been able to get our calendars together. But one day soon, hopefully, we might be able to get Rikishi and we can kind of go in to find out what is going on, because he's made a few comments in the last month or so that have been a little bit surprising for Rikishi, and maybe it's just it's a social media and he's I don't know. But you know, anyhow, let's talk about somebody else that used to be in WWE and that's the coach, jonathan Coachman.
Speaker 1:Teddy man, he, wow, he let loose on a recent unsanctioned match in AEW, the one that you and I had talked about Swerve, strickland and Hangman, adam Page and all the crazy spots, the syringes and everything else, and he was talking. He says people come up to him and say, coach, that's a storyline. You know all that drama and all that violence, it's just a storyline. All that drama and all that violence is just a storyline. And he says it's not a movie, it's a real life movie and these are real things, with real kids in the front row watching it in real time. And this goes back to laziness when you can't write a story good enough that you have to have a hypodermic needle inside someone's mouth, it's disgusting. What are your thoughts, teddy, on the uh, the use of the violence of that match, and what coach had to say?
Speaker 2:I didn't see the match. Um, I kind of some things with coach I don't agree on and some things I do. Uh I'd have to say, you know, I think he's pretty much on point with that syringe sticking in somebody's mouth. You know, I, I don't know, I, I don't know, I really don't understand that. I really don't know what that was all about. And and, like you said, there are kids on the front row and their kids watching the TV. How do you explain to them what that means? You know they I mean it ain't like a kid can get his hand on a syringe at any time. But to have some kid watch you and see you take a syringe something that he's probably just known the doctors or something to use, and stick it in another person's mouth.
Speaker 1:And not just stick it in the mouth. I mean, he actually injected whatever was in it into the mouth too, which again you're telling a kid that not only do you stab him with it, you inject whatever you got in there into him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I said, I don't watch AEW. I've already learned that they're pretty reckless and out of touch, so I just don't really know what to say, man.
Speaker 1:And I don't hate on AEW. There's so many things that need to be fixed but I don't want to see it succeed because without that place being there, there's a lot less opportunities for the guys to make money and make a living. So we want to see them succeed, but, for the love of God, somebody get control of the company and somebody needs to start putting their foot down. In certain cases I thought the pay-per-view was good, but there were aspects of the pay-per-view that could have been done without and, just like Teddy and like Coach had said in that comment, you got kids there. When you go to a movie, you know what the rating of that movie is going to be and you know what to expect. I don't think anybody expected somebody being jabbed with a hypodermic needle into somebody's mouth and being injected with kids around.
Speaker 2:What was the reason for it? That's all I'm asking. What was the purpose of putting the hypodermic needle in someone's mouth and injecting whatever was inside the needle? So I'd like to know what was inside that needle that Troy was comfortable with to let them inject it in him.
Speaker 1:I'd like to know that too now, because I kept thinking well, whatever you put in his mouth, even if it's Novocaine or or whatever it is, they may have shot in there still. You just don't do that.
Speaker 1:I well, you, maybe you don't do it, but they do yeah, yeah, and that's the problem with the company, and it does make them look like they're grasping for straws and you got to be careful. Um, one more thing before we get into uh, ask, teddy. Uh, because we got some questions I had that I want to get to you today, teddy, but just before we went to air, the attorneys for Janelle Grant held a press conference and I don't know what happened in that press conference. Haven't heard anything. I've looked everywhere for it. I do know that by the time we get back here next week, we'll be able to comment on those things that she is alleging in this latest press conference that she'll be having. It's all coming out just before Vince McMahon's documentary, teddy, and that's something I think a lot of people are looking forward to see you include. I would imagine you want to see the real Vince McMahon and see if it holds true to the person you know, don't you?
Speaker 2:Well, I know the real Vince McMahon. I had a chance to have the opportunity to work on him for 15 years and certainly I want to see the documentary because Vince is talking himself and I'd like to just see what he's saying and you know how he feels about different things. So, yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think, know how he feels about different things. So, yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Yeah, I think it'd be really interesting. By the way, uh, teddy, let me ask you this, because we haven't talked about this the diddy, uh stuff that's going on at him and uh in prison, not getting bail or anything else does that shock you at all, hearing all this news about all the crazy things he's done?
Speaker 2:well, yeah, it was because I don't know nothing about the rap groups or rapping. You know I. I know of the artists, you know different ones that are out, but you know the knowing, the behind the scenes and the backstories. You know golly man, that's pretty overwhelming too about Diddy, but I never will forget.
Speaker 2:I remember one time he came to WWE we were somewhere I don't remember where it was, but we had a security guard there and her name was Miriam, where I don't remember where it was, but we had a security guard there and her name was Miriam, and Miriam was always on top of her job. You know what I mean. And Miriam and I think he did it was there to make an appearance or something and she was just trying to tell him what he needed, to stand or whatever, and he really lit into her and told her she was nothing but the help and she wasn't qualified to tell him where to go and where not to go. But if you ever talk to Muriel, you know she can tell you a little bit more about it than me, but I was there to witness that. So after that day I never really really cared for him.
Speaker 1:I don't blame you, I wouldn't either. I'm surprised he made it out there without somebody beating his ass.
Speaker 2:Well, he didn't know about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, it falls in line with everything that's happening in the news now.
Speaker 2:It's called karma.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we talk about that all the time, don't we, brother?
Speaker 2:That's what our night is about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man. All right, it's time to get into some listener mail. Teddy, are you ready to 4-ask? Teddy, yeah, we're ready man Letters?
Speaker 2:oh, we get letters.
Speaker 1:We get your letters every day.
Speaker 2:Mailman, mailman, mail. Today, reach right in and pull one out. Those letters, I love those letters.
Speaker 1:Let's find out what you've got to say.
Speaker 2:Mailman mail today All right, here we go.
Speaker 1:Question number one Teddy Nigel in Beaumont, texas, writes Dear Teddy and Mac, do you plan on watching the Netflix documentary on Vince McMahon and what are you hoping is included in the show? That's a good question, teddy.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm looking forward, like I said, to watching it and I don't have any special thing that I want to be included. I just want to see the documentary.
Speaker 1:And for me, I just want to see the real truth. If you're presenting this as a documentary, give me who he really is. Show me who he really is.
Speaker 2:Because, to be quite honest, he's interesting as hell. He'll do that, don't worry. Vince, we'll certainly show you who he really is. He has no problem.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, All right, here we go. Alice in South Dakota asks what was the most violent match you ever were a part of?
Speaker 2:Hmm, match, you ever were a part of Golly it was probably back in the day, I think I was a referee in then and it was the Midnight Express with Rock and Roll I believe, and they had the scaffold set up there and I think Jim Cornette, some kind of way he fell off that scaffold and I think Jim Cornette some kind of way he fell off that scalpel and that was pretty scary. And also I remember God rest his soul, road Warrior Hawk. He was already injured or he had something was wrong with him or something and they had to give him a lot of morphine because he still wanted to work. So they, you know, shot him up with morphine or Truidol or something so he could still go out and work. The horrifying thing was to see Cornette fall off that scalpel. Man that was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he broke his both ankles or his knees, I can't remember what it was. But yeah, he came straight down and it didn't do him any favors whatsoever, and he was terrified of heights too already. Oh yeah, that's somebody else I'd love to get on the show one day. Let's see who else we got here. Teddy, we got Tim in Ohio. Who wants to know? Oh man, this is a good question. If Butch Reed was not available to be a part of Doom with Ron Simmons, who would have been a good partner?
Speaker 1:uh dan spivey wow, yeah, true, because later on we did get the uh, the, what the? Was that before the towers or after the towers?
Speaker 2:that was before the towers for the towers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I just. You know, when I think back to doom, um, I can't imagine anybody else. Only because I saw doom back, then I can't imagine anybody else being in that position other than Butch Reed. It's just, those two worked so damn well together and they complemented one another because you believed what you saw and you should have.
Speaker 2:But Dan Spivey was a great worker and I had the opportunity to ride with Dan and I was mostly more with him than I was Sid. So I'm telling you, Dan would certainly have been the guy to put there.
Speaker 1:Any stories about you and Dan up and down the road? No, the last I heard of Dan, Dan had a restaurant somewhere down in Florida. There's a breakfast place. I don't know if that still is there or not.
Speaker 2:Oh I know, yeah, it's a good one. I think one night we stopped at the restaurant and we eat and uh, back then you know, I'm taking everything a to z, yeah, so I'm driving, so I done took a bunch of volumes, you know, before I got ready to drive, so I'm getting ready to. So once we leave the restaurant, me and him, we get in the car and uh, god rest, you know, took care of us. Man, I was, I guess the value ain't no, guessing the values that knocked me out, put me to sleep and I was headed under a 18 wheeler and all.
Speaker 2:I guess, some kind of way, god smivey had went to sleep. So, I guess, some kind of way, something happened and and and he woke up, and he woke up just in time to tap me and wake me up and stop me from going under this 18-wheeler. But I went to sleep behind the wheel, passed out on Valiums and, like I said, god took care of us. Something woke Danny up and Danny woke me up and just as he woke me up, I put the brakes on, just in time.
Speaker 1:I bet he was hollering at you at some point. Well, we were hollering at each other.
Speaker 2:Well, we were all at each other.
Speaker 1:I was about to say Spivey could have a bit of a temper. I always heard.
Speaker 2:Well, he was a great guy, great attitude, but he wasn't the guy you wanted to fool around with.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I've always heard. All right, teddy, before we get out of here, this is one of the things you love to do. Name association this is from Diane in South Carolina, and I got a list of one, two, three, four, six names here. Just the first thing that comes to mind, or any stories you want to share, feel free. First one is Hornswoggle.
Speaker 2:Oh, Hornswoggle, you know, I remember one time we was doing this thing for St Patrick's Day and they went out and got the beer and stuff, you know, so we could use to do the pre-tape in. Well, when we got ready to do the pre-tape, we come to find out that Hornswoggle and Crystal Marshall drank up all the beer. So now they're drunk so and then? So now we got no beer. Then there's another story Hornswoggle, he was so drunk One time backstage Tartaglia took him and put him on a luggage cart or something. He put him on and rode him up to his room on a luggage cart or something like that, I remember something, but he was just that drunk backstage.
Speaker 1:All right, here's another name Jim Ross. Rather not even talk about him. All right, let's see. Bob Holly is the next name.
Speaker 2:Bob Holly, great guy man. I had the opportunity to work with him and he was another tough guy. He let me do a lot of things with him when I was doing the white boy challenge and he would. They wanted me to hit him one time and he told me. He said, yeah, ted, he said you come right over, man, and you slapped the hell out of me. And you know for Bob Holly to let you do that to him, that's pretty good. And so, if people can remember, as soon as I slapped him, I run right over to the announcers and I'm screaming I just slapped a cracker, I just slapped me a cracker, you know and so. But oh man, I think a lot about Bob Holly. You know what I mean. He was such a great guy too.
Speaker 1:And we were talking about tough guys a little while ago, about Spivey, and now you know you talk about Bob Holly and that's somebody else who's got a reputation of being a tough guy and a hothead at times. Yeah, All right. The next name on the list is Matt Hardy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had a great opportunity to work with him for many, many years, me and him. We always got along. He's always had a great attitude. In fact, I seen him this year. We did a couple of signings together at WrestleCon and WrestleCade. So, matt, him and his brother Jeff both they've always been good friends of mine.
Speaker 1:All right, we got two more here. The next one is referee Nick Patrick.
Speaker 2:Nick Patrick is the guy that I started with, I think. When I first started refereeing I didn't know, you know, about the business part. So I got a resume. So I take this resume down here and I give it to Nick Patrick and you know he took it then then. But he told me, you know, after I got hired and he finally told me he said, man, they threw that resume right in the trash.
Speaker 2:He said this is this ain't you, this ain't how you get this job. And then I understood exactly what he meant. So, but Nick Patrick, we, I rode with him for so many, many years, man, and he was always on point. I never forget. We was in LA, I think, somewhere in LA, and I was driving. So this white guy, he cuts me off, I mean, and then he shoots me a bird. Oh God, I got so hot. Now I'm hot, I'm cussing and I'm calling him everything. And Nick Patrick is in the car with me, you know, and I look over at Nick. Nick is looking at me and I look over at Nick, nick is looking at me and I look over at Nick. I said sorry, nick, and I just kept right on cussing him, you know, and I called him all kind of crackers. And so Nick, just Dick was just dying laughing. So uh.
Speaker 2:Nick Nick. Practice has always been a good friend of mine man.
Speaker 1:God bless Nick and he's doing a lot of good stuff in Atlanta.
Speaker 2:He's running shows in Atlanta at Jay's barbecue I think that's what it is he. He's doing his show Deep South Wrestling. So Nick is doing good and congratulations to him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, Nick, his entire organization, the people working for him in that group are working really hard and you can tell it's because Nick Patrick's got a hand in things. It's just a little bit different than most other places I've been. So again, Teddy and I had a chance to go see one of his shows in the last year here. All right, so the last one we got on here, Teddy, before we get out of here Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
Speaker 2:Good friends with Steve Always. He was another guy that came up to me and pulled me off and told me you know that Vets, you know like me and not to mess things up, man and do the right thing. It was him and Gerald Briscoe, but Steve he was always good. He always gave me advice. In fact, he gave me a name. I don't know what that meant, but he started calling me Blackbird. And so every time I'd see him, I'd be like I may not call him the same.
Speaker 2:Blackbird. You know, and he'd laugh, but that was our name. You know, and he'd laugh, but that was our name.
Speaker 1:You know, one day, when I see him, I'm going to have to ask him hey look, what was the deal with Blackbird? When you talked to Teddy? See, if you'll tell me the story, there's got to be something behind that. He'll tell you.
Speaker 2:He'll die laughing about it, man, because I started laughing when he started doing it, and every time we'd see each other. You know what was behind it.
Speaker 1:All right, that's all we got for this week. By the way, we do have somebody coming up soon I can't tell you exactly when, but we do have a guest coming up, but verify it already and that is Victoria, former WWE superstar and recent signee into the legendary I'm sorry, a legends contract deal, which I think is called now the nostalgia deal that they've changed the name from what I understand, but she'll be able to tell us that because she actually sent me a message about that. I can't remember what it's all about, but you'll find out when we find out when she's a guest here on Road Trip After Hours. I'm Mac Davis, the host, and that is my co-host, mr Teddy Long, we'll see you next week, allah bless.
