Cena vs. The Rock Showdown? WrestleMania Buzz, Wrestling Legends, & ASK TEDDY!
Could the legendary John Cena face off against The Rock once more, and what impact would that have on the wrestling world? This episode is packed with excitement as we explore these tantalizing possibilities. We kick off by celebrating our growing community of passionate wrestling fans and sharing our successful efforts to connect through live interactions and exciting giveaways. Our discussion then steers into the heart of the wrestling scene, focusing on the buzz surrounding the upcoming Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania events.
The.
Speaker 2:Lone.
Speaker 1:Ranger, I'm Ted Aylong. How are you my?
Speaker 2:friend. I was watching the graphics there. That's good. Buckle up, Buckle up my friends. This is always funny.
Speaker 1:We started this several weeks ago, teddy and I kind of decided we wanted to really involve the fans into the show, because that's really what we started out trying to do. We wanted to get with the fans and really talk back and forth with you guys, and this is our opportunity to do that. Like I said, we've done this now for several weeks and I've enjoyed it so far, teddy, and I'm looking forward to seeing if these numbers continue to grow.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, I think they just got to find out that we're there and I think people now are getting it. They know that we're here live every week and we're going to be doing this show plus giving away free T-shirts, and so the thing that I really like about it is to ask Teddy, you know, because I'm going to get some questions, probably, that I never thought I would hear and to get the opportunity to pick one of those questions and really like it myself and whoever sends that, to get a free after road trip, after hours T-shirt. I think that's great.
Speaker 1:And it's really easy to do, to be a part of the show. Simply leave your questions and we'll answer those questions as we go through the show. And the one that Teddy likes the most gets a free as he mentioned road trip after hours t-shirt and, as a matter of fact, I'll show you what that looks like. Teddy, that's one thing about being live. You don't have to be that straight up clean about everything don't try to clean up your mess okay, you made a mess, you made a mess good looking tshirt and it can be yours.
Speaker 1:If we use your question and what? We'll use everybody's question, but if he uses that question as his favorite, you win. That's simple. I have to like it, you have to like it. Look here, while we're waiting for everybody to get into the room. And I do want to mention that if you're watching us right now, please share this feed. Let everybody know that we are live right now.
Speaker 1:Participate in the conversation and, again, we're trying to grow these numbers, as Teddy mentioned earlier on. And the one thing I noticed, teddy, was last week, our live numbers. You know they've been slowly growing over the time that we've started, but the views afterwards on YouTube, you, if I'm not mistaken, I think we're up around 6,000 for last week, which is really good for a show that we were really only even trying to push for what? Three months, a couple of weeks? Yeah, well, a couple of weeks, yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, so I mean this. This is a. We're enjoying this. Please help us grow this, and that simply means share. Let everybody know we're here. Let's see how many people we can get into the room at one time.
Speaker 2:And let me give a shout out. I'm going to give a shout out to my man, michael Steele. He's always with us every week, man, so I just want to give a big shout out to him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, I haven't seen him in the room yet, but I'm sure he'll pop in here because he's been here on every show since we've started. You're absolutely correct. Uh, before we get into some of the questions, uh from the, from the viewers here, let me ask you about uh, you know we're closing in on elimination chamber and wrestlemania, teddy, but we haven't seen john cena, the rock, randy orton or roman reigns, and we already know what the main events basically are going to be for WrestleMania, which will be, let's see, champion Gunther versus Jey Uso, and we know that the champion, cody Rose, will end up facing somebody from an Elimination Chamber, but those other names are nowhere in the mix.
Speaker 2:Well, you're trying to get.
Speaker 1:you want them too early Is it too early, though we're not that far away.
Speaker 2:That's how this works. Okay, just hold on. Okay, just hold on, they're going to give you what you want. But if they give it to you right away, that means you're running the show, and that doesn't happen. They run the show.
Speaker 1:I just you know I've said this and I think I may have said this on another show that we've done Teddy but I don't feel that energy that we had last year going into WrestleMania. It feels flat to me. The main events are not that great to me. I keep telling you that's you, yeah, but I'm not the only one, because you see other people online commenting about the same thing that this is just something that's wrong with this year's WrestleMania.
Speaker 2:Well, there's just something wrong with y'all. That's all I can say was wrong with this year's wrestlemania. Well, there's just something wrong with y'all. That's okay, because I I don't. I mean, I see it, it's there. To me the hype is good. I was in uh, uh, uh, or where was uh, indianapolis, indiana? I was there with the raw rumble but yeah, where it?
Speaker 2:was. I was at a big signing there, man and and I mean people were it was unbelievable, man, how excited everybody was for that Royal Rumble. So if they ain't that excited for the Rumble, it'll be three times that for WrestleMania. But I think we just got to take our time, wait it out. You know they don't want to rush everything because things could change. You know, you never know what will happen there, but I'm excited about it. Know, like I said you, you have the right to have your opinion and the fans, they have the right to have their opinion, but I'm excited you know and I imagine that's the case with everybody who's watching, some people like it, some people won't, but what are your thoughts on wrestlemania?
Speaker 1:those of you are watching or listening right now what are your thoughts on wrestlemania this year? Do you feel it has the same energy and excitement that we had this time last year? Leave us a comment, let us know. Um, let me ask you too, now we've got those two main events, like I mentioned. Uh, teddy, you know we have the elimination chamber to decide who's going to face cody. We already know jay uso is against gunther, with names like cena, rock, orton and roman. Where do you see these guys showing up? Uh, in wrestlemania. What would you like to see happen?
Speaker 2:Well, it's kind of hard for me to answer that. You know what I mean. What I would like to see happen might not even happen. So I don't even want to you know kind of comment on it, because, like I said, in the business, now the business has changed, you don't know which way they're going. You know what I mean and I think that's good so they can keep people from you know. You know like oh.
Speaker 1:I know what they're going to do now you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:So, like I said, I just like to sit back and I just like to watch and see if I was right about something, or if I was wrong about something, or if I was halfway right or halfway wrong. So we just, we just got to wait and see what's going on now.
Speaker 1:I know you tossed around an idea on our other show that we do with Sportskeeda, and you had mentioned that you wouldn't have a problem with Rock and Cena. And when you said that, that was really Teddy, I'll be honest with you. I couldn't see John Cena in WrestleMania in any big match. It just wasn't working for me. But when you mentioned that I can see John Cena and the Rock facing each other as an attraction match, it doesn't take away from anybody else on that card or anybody in the company, and it makes everybody get a win-win, wouldn't you agree?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Yes, where would you go? Let's say, we do get Cena and we do get the Rock.
Speaker 2:I would go with the Rock, would you really? And I would have Rock come out and cut one of the biggest promos to embarrass him of his life. And Rock can do that.
Speaker 1:Yes, and he's got ammo to do that. Because, teddy, I mean, let's face it it wasn't that long ago that John Cena was busting the Rock's balls about being in Hollywood and saying he came back to work in the WWE. But he really wasn't, he was just there for special occasions. Well, you know, whatever you want to call him John Cena hypocrite, very possibly because he's doing the same exact thing.
Speaker 2:He's doing the same exact thing.
Speaker 1:You're damn right, and that's where I think the story could be.
Speaker 2:I'd like to see Rock cut one of those promos on him, because sometimes them promos are so good, man, they'll shut you down, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:We've seen both of them go back and forth in promos in the past and, uh, I mean I've seen the rock leave John speechless and I've seen John do the same thing with the rock. They're really good. That's the reason I like that idea, because I can see the buildup for that, and a lot of that's just trash talk, and if you can do that leading up to it, that kind of gives me the excitement that I'm looking for, cause I want to see what I feel is a fight going on.
Speaker 2:Well, sometimes it's real talk.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's true too. Now I'm sure the rock has not forgotten that. You know, john Cena was giving him crap all those years ago.
Speaker 2:I can't wait to, like all those years ago. I can't wait to, like I said, we don't know yet, but if it happens, I can't wait to see Rock that promo he's got for him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I agree, and when you said that, like I said the other day, when you mentioned that, I just kept thinking, man, that would be great, that would be something I would watch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I'd like to rock, to just shut him down.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes Again, if you want to get into the conversation here, all you have to do is leave a comment and we'll throw it up on the screen and Teddy will answer anything you ask. You may not like it, but he will answer it and also the one that he chooses as the best question of the evening. We'll get a free road trip after hours T-shirt. So make sure you get those questions in. Teddy Carlito I just noticed recently commented on his final match to maybe be against Dominic Mysterio.
Speaker 1:Have you heard this? No, I haven't. It's pretty cool. He says quote you know, it would probably be kind of like it's a hair match, like hair versus something, hair versus mustache against Dominic Mysterio. That may be it, yeah, and then maybe I get my head shaved and ride off into the sunset. I like that idea. When's the last time we've seen a hair versus hair match, a real hair versus hair match, and these two guys could pull that off? Yes, yes, I agree, that's another possible WrestleMania moment we might get, or somewhere down the line, because, I agree, I would like to see that and carlito has earned his way to that, don't you think?
Speaker 2:oh, he's a phenomenal worker man outstanding. I had the opportunity to do in my career. I had the opportunity to work with him.
Speaker 1:What a great guy to work with now when carlito, when you had you worked with him one-on-one on several occasions, correct? Yes, any memories with Carlito you can share.
Speaker 2:Well, the last promo we did, I think he was trying to get me fired and then the McMahon come out and reinstated me and straightened all that out and he got ready to take the apple, to take a bite of the apple, and he threw it up and I caught it and I bit the apple.
Speaker 1:Now. So that was like I mean, you had to be ready to catch that apple too. Yeah, because otherwise, I mean, if you missed the apple, you were alive, right?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:If you had missed that apple, you'd have been chasing an apple on TV.
Speaker 2:Well, I'd have been chased out when I got in the back. Yeah, I bet you would have.
Speaker 1:This would have been cutting a promo on me. Let's see Central Travel Sports. Hi guys Still remember driving down 64 West from Richmond, virginia, and Teddy Long flew by in a Lincoln town car. We caught up and he rolled down his window and screamed what's up player? Awesome memory, teddy, do you?
Speaker 2:remember that? No, I probably was heavy intoxicated at that time. I don't remember that.
Speaker 1:You're honest, right? Dave Crone, do you still stay in touch with the Mokies?
Speaker 2:I did see the Mokies. It's been a while, I mean maybe three or four years. I went to Winston-Salem for the Wrestlecade up there that they have every year and I had a chance to see the Malkish there, man. They both of them are still funny, great guys, man. I enjoyed seeing them because I had a chance to referee some of their matches and to really work with them back in the day. So it was good to see the Malkish.
Speaker 1:And let's see what else we have here. Jim Hoffer, hey brother, how you doing With the rumors of demolition possibly going into the Hall of Fame this year? Do you have any stories with them and how do you feel about them being called a ripoff of LOD?
Speaker 2:Well, I don't have any experience with well, both of them I had a chance to work with. I had to work with Bill Leedy more than I've worked with anybody when I started refereeing. Bill Leedy was a mad superstar back in the NWA days, so working with him was great. He was what a phenomenal worker in the ring. So that's what I remember about Bill and the other guy when I've refereed a lot of his matches too. So I don't think they should be. They're not no ripoff of LOD. I don't. They've been in, I've seen them. That style is whole, totally different from the LOD. I mean, you've got a right to have your opinion, but I don't see that.
Speaker 1:You know it's funny because I do. I think that's only because I saw the Road Warriors first. That was my first exposure to anything like that and so I grew up watching that, and when I saw the LOD come in I did feel like they were trying to steal maybe a little bit from the Road Warriors. They may not have been exactly like them, but there was obviously an intent.
Speaker 2:Here's why I think the people got that mixed up is when I think they should never put the paint on. If they ever put the paint on, I think that may not ever happen, but people start linking it when the demolition put the paint on.
Speaker 1:So that's where I think that come from patrick soans popping in saying hello players, hey I know, patrick, how are you?
Speaker 2:patrick, hadn't heard from you in a long time. Another nice guy, mac patrick.
Speaker 1:Now, where's patrick? Where is he? Patrick? Where are you from, by the way, if you're still with us where you're from? I know that I've seen this name several times and he's from down here in georgia.
Speaker 2:You probably met him on some of the independent shows oh okay, oh, that makes sense.
Speaker 1:That makes why I understand his name's kind of rocking around in my head a little bit here. Yeah, so look here I saw where Matt Hardy had commented on a recent edition of the Extreme Life of Matt Hardy and he said he was talking about the craziest fan interaction and how it came. And it came through the US Mail Teddy, get this. He says, quote we had a PO box and there was this young lady who sent me a vial of her blood. In the note she said, quote we've met and I know you and I know you don't know me well, but we are connected, we are linked. I need you to take this blood, put it into a syringe and put it into your own blood vessels. If you put my blood into your blood vessels, then give me a vial of your blood. This is my return address and it will always be linked. We can always feel one another end quote.
Speaker 2:And so there's still vampires around.
Speaker 1:Man, have you ever had something that freaky with a fan before? Always feel one another end quote and so there's still vampires around. Man, have you ever had something that freaky with a fan before? That's a vampire. You ain't kidding, you want vials of blood. Something's bad wrong with you, I'll tell you.
Speaker 2:If somebody sends me a vial of blood, I'm going to take their address and name and I'm going to give it to the police.
Speaker 1:I remember my first time of having a fan in radio and the guy that I was living with leaves the door open all the time. I worked overnight, so I was working midnight to six and then I'd get in, you know, get some sleep in and wake up around lunch. Well, my roommate decided that he'd leave the door open and let the pizza girl, who's had a hot for me for a while, just walk into the room. I woke up and this freaky chick was in my room, butt naked, teddy, butt naked, trying to move into the bed with me because she was that freaking nuts. There are people out there like that that really think there's a connection just because they see you on TV or because they hear you on the radio.
Speaker 2:Oh, I've had that problem. I've had those stalkers. Okay, I know about all that, but see you, get away from them, they're trouble. Yes, yes, I just told you where he's from North Atlanta.
Speaker 1:Let's see. We also got Jim back in here. Can't wait to catch up with you guys at SICW Fan Fest 3. We are looking forward to that. That is coming up May 16th and 17th. If you want tickets and to find out who all is going to be there, because Teddy and I will both be there Bill Apter will be there. There's a whole list of names that will be there. This event is really good. Teddy and I have been every year for the last several years since they started and I can tell you this is one of the better ones that we go to.
Speaker 2:And this year, you know, it's really going to be special for me, because they've already contacted me and told me that they're going to be giving me the Lifetime Achievement Award. So that's something that a lot of people don't get, and to get that, you know that's really special, and I'd like to thank Herb Simmons and his staff, and also you, mac. You know you made all this possible too, so we'll see you at SICW.
Speaker 1:You want tickets for that? Go to SICWorg. That's where you get all the information, let me mention Nick Rittenhaw.
Speaker 2:He'll beat me up if I don't mention Nick's name.
Speaker 1:Who's that Nick?
Speaker 2:Rittenhaw had a lot to do with it too. Thank you, nick Mac's trying to act like he don't know you. I don't, nick, who don't make him any more.
Speaker 1:T-shirts nick as a matter of fact, and the ones we're giving away. Uh, let's see what else we got here. We have, uh, tony hunter popping in. I got one for that damn good to hear from tony hunter.
Speaker 2:Ladies and gentlemen, y'all don't know tony hunter, man, very good friend of mine, uh, one of the greatest all-time wrestling promoters. I mean just just absolutely a fantastic guy. I've had the opportunity to work with tony out here on the independent scene at different arenas and different stuff. He always been professional take care of your man. I mean, he's a promoter that every guy in this business want to work for.
Speaker 1:And it's funny, we were just talking about Herb Simmons, and Herb and Tony really are two promoters and in the wrestling business it's very difficult to find promoters that you can trust. There's been a lot of hoopla online about that recently.
Speaker 2:I've been out here and I had the opportunity to experience a couple of them and I say a couple because it don't take, but maybe one time to fool me. So I've had a chance to be with that part too. But, like I said, with Tony Hunter, you ain't got to worry about that. Your hotel, everything that needs to be done is done and, like I said, I love Herb Simmons to death. Don't get me wrong. But Tony Hunter, he can't match up to Tony. I'm going to tell you that right now Tony is one of the top. We need to get him a crown like king of the promoters or something like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we need to get Tony a crown. We really do. Next time we see him we'll probably see him in Jacksonville, I would imagine. Yeah, he'll be there, we'll find a crown for him and we'll get him on road trip after hours and present him with a crown.
Speaker 2:Let's get into something here hey. Tony Hunter. Thank you so much, man, for checking in. Man Love you. Player.
Speaker 1:Let's see, we also have in here Stephen Bruce. I believe that's Buddy Lee Parker's boy, isn't it, stephen Bruce? I think so. Anyhow, he's saying hello and, as a matter of fact, yes, it is. I am Sarge Buddy Lee Parker's son.
Speaker 2:Hey, what's going on, Stephen? I know you're a big man now. It's been a long time since I've seen you, man. Well, thank you for checking in, man.
Speaker 1:All right, what else we got in here? We have Patrick Someone's popping in. Stephen, tell your dad hello, I've been mia due to major surgery. Oh, patrick, I hope everything's okay. I'm finally getting back in the fold. I hope to see you soon, steven, and uh, let's see also. Uh well, steven came right back and said, replying to someone's, I will. So, teddy, what else we got here before we run out of time, because we're going to run out in just a moment? If you got questions, get them in before we run out of time. It's only a 30 minute program, so-minute program, so get those in as soon as you can. Let me ask you, teddy. There were a couple questions last week that I saved over, so let me mention these while I got a chance. Samuel, that was in Texas, was asking Teddy, what was your go-to move when you were trying to catch the eye of a woman?
Speaker 2:I didn't have a go-to move. I just walked right up to her and said hey, you want to holler at me?
Speaker 1:He didn't waste money on drinks. He didn't waste money on food. It's like either you do or you don't.
Speaker 2:No, no, I didn't have none of that, okay.
Speaker 1:All right, let's see Cheeky. And Cherokee also wrote what was the single worst thing to happen to you in your career, and why does it involve John Laurinaitis?
Speaker 2:Well, I don't want to talk too much about that because, john Laurinaitis, I think they you know he's in that mess with WWE and all that. So I don't want to talk too much about it. But I'll just say this you know, john Lawren Ivers hated me for some reason. I have no idea. I've done my. That's what really gets me.
Speaker 2:I can understand it if I was a screw-up or somebody that messed up. You know what I mean. I can understand, but I've done my job. Vince McMahon would have not kept me in my position for nine years running his company if I had not done my job. So for somebody to be mad at me for doing my job and to screw my pay around and to keep me from getting stuff that I suppose I've been getting, I can't accept that. And this man maybe I'm saying this and this is a God-heaven truth this man I walked up to him and asked him why I didn't have an action figure and the thing he said to me out of my mouth, that the consumers told him that they would not buy my doll.
Speaker 1:And I still have a very hard time believing that to be true at all, because every time we've talked to people, and we've talked to people who collect you know those, uh, and the action figures or whatever they want to call them but that these things are very popular and when you talk to those collectors, they want a teddy long doll. They don't want a teddy long doll and five different person's packs that you put together it's just just like I said.
Speaker 2:I've done my job for nine years. Okay, are you gonna tell me somebody ain't going to buy? And the person that I went to was Undertaker. I went to Taker because Taker was the locker room captain. Because it hurt me, I went to Taker and I said man, do you just know what I just? He just told me and Taker didn't have no words. You know what I mean. How can you say that to somebody? So that's all I'm going to say about John Laurinaitis. Like I said, he hated me. I guess I'll just be straight up with you. I've done my job. So the only thing he could hate me was for the color of my skin.
Speaker 1:Well, imagine that that wouldn't be the first time you dealt with that in your career, but it's still at the same time. I understand If you're doing your job Exactly, man yeah, doing the best I can, but somebody just comes in that decides they don't like you and you're gone. It's just that freaking easy and that sucks, and he ain't the only guy. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:I started my job and there was still people in his corner that were against me too. He wasn't the only guy.
Speaker 1:Hey, look here. I remember your Hall of Fame speech, when you were looking down at the crowd, at one person in particular, to let them know basically, F you, I got where.
Speaker 2:I got, without any help from you, right, exactly so let's see. This is what I said to him. I said, for all you naysayers that said I would never go anywhere and I'd never be anything, I told him. I said God, and Vince McMahon proved you wrong, didn't he?
Speaker 1:Yep, If you want to go back and figure out who he's talking about, just watch the Hall of Fame speech. I think you'll probably figure it out. Let's see what else we got here. Irving Mike LaRue. Hey, buddy Teddy, what got you started? On the Undertaker? Well, I don't understand that question what got me started on the Undertaker?
Speaker 2:I guess started working with him maybe. Well, if I can answer that, you know me and Taker go way back.
Speaker 2:You know, we were in the NWA together. We were in WCW together it's me and Mark Callis. So we go way back, man, and I remember the day that Taker left WCW and went to WWF. So that's how me and Taker had a relationship and Taker kind of made it possible for me to meet best, because when we were doing the Undertaker thing I mean the thing where Taker kidnapped me and I was in the coffin and all that and told me to buckle up that was Vince McMahon's idea. He wrote all that and by me being involved in that, I had the chance to go in and talk with nobody but Vince and Taker and I mean that's a big step, but I didn't let that go to my head, you understand A?
Speaker 2:lot of guys they think that now I'm in here with the balls, you can't touch me. That's wrong. Okay, don't let nothing like that go to your head. Accept it. Thank God that you're in that position, but continue to do your job, and that's what I continued to do was my job.
Speaker 1:So that's kind of why I'm kind of pissed a little bit. Man, you know, I really don't blame you. I've told you this before, teddy. You and I've talked privately on road trips or anything else that we've done, and and I've said this and I don't know if I've just blatantly come out and said it the way I'll say it now but you lost money. Money was taken out of your pocket because you had to play the game and I couldn't I couldn't even ask for a raise. No, and that was wrong. I guarantee you that you didn't make nearly as much money as you should have and had the opportunities that you should have, because you had to play the game.
Speaker 2:And that's the only way I kept a job is I had to keep playing the game and take the low money. That was a referee that was making more money than me.
Speaker 1:Not right at all. Michael Steele popping in. Teddy is the GOAT GM. Yes, he is. I still believe that I think Nick Aldis does a pretty good job right now, though, teddy, what are your thoughts on Nick? Oh, I love.
Speaker 2:Nick Aldis man. I talked to him the last time I was there. I love him, man. He's done an outstanding job. I think they picked the right guy for that. He's mild-mannered, you know what I mean, but when it's time for him to step up and do the deal, he's right there. So I love Nick man. Good position for him, man, and congratulations to him and much success.
Speaker 1:I agree, he feels authentic, and that's difficult to do with the GM sometimes, somebody that you feel has true power. Teddy, you were that way. Everybody knew if Teddy said it, that's what was going to happen. That's just it. Teddy's law was law, and I feel that way with him as well. Now I feel like Nick has got a little bit of that kind of look I'm coming out and you're going to listen to what I got to say, or there's going to be an issue, and I like that. So let's see Jim hopping in asking another question what was your favorite thing that you saved during your career? As a reminiscence?
Speaker 2:I got a pair of my referee pants that I wore when I was back in the day referee and I saved them. I got them right now.
Speaker 1:I think it's kind of odd too. I think you've said before you really don't have much on the walls from your wrestling career and stuff like that. You really don't put that kind of stuff up. Is that true?
Speaker 2:I got pictures on the wall. In fact I'm in my room now. I got pictures on the wall. In fact I'm in my room now. I got pictures of the late great Eddie Guerrero. He's in here. The late great Chris Benoit is on this wall Right there. You can't see it. It's a picture of me on SmackDown. I got some me, you and Nick Hoffman there, me and Michael Cole that's kind of right behind me there. So I have a few pictures outside too, man. So I have a few pictures outside too, man, boogeyman's on my wall. So I got some stuff. I've been moving by myself, now just me and my dog. So I got a poster there from Bill. After that I got in 1998 or something like that. Pro Wrestling Illustrated gave me the award.
Speaker 1:Wow, can you show it to us yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'll get over here. This is it right here. Can you see that?
Speaker 1:Yes, I can.
Speaker 2:That's cool. The Team Award Teddy Long Manager of the Year, as voted by the readers of Pro Wrestling Illustrated Magazine. Bill After gave me that.
Speaker 1:That's very cool, and to get something like that from Bill After at a time too because you know we've talked about this before Teddy like that from Bill After at a time too because you know we've talked about this before Teddy. But people, uh, who are younger really don't understand the value of what those magazines meant to the wrestling business at that time, because that was all we had, yeah, so so to get an award at that time from Bill After and to be recognized by those magazines meant a lot, and actually those type of things made men's careers in professional wrestling.
Speaker 2:And to make a long story short, so if I was doing my job back then getting awards?
Speaker 1:what happened. Imagine that, eddie, you got to pick somebody to get a shirt tonight. Who are you picking?
Speaker 2:Oh, man, I tell you what.
Speaker 1:What was your favorite question?
Speaker 2:It's been some good questions here. I think I like I'll pick the one, that where we had to kind of put the guy a little bit and let him know that demolition was not a big rip off of LOD. So let's give him a T-shirt.
Speaker 1:All right, let me go back and make sure I can see who we have here that did that. I believe that was Jim, wasn't that Jim? Hang on for a minute Listen my memory is as bad as yours. I can't get. I got to get a mouse. I've learned that. Now for the screen here.
Speaker 2:Oh, come on Both of us need to be on yes it was Jim Jim Hoffers.
Speaker 1:Hey, jim, we'll get that out. It's an XL t-shirt, so I should be able to fit that in there. Perfectly fine, just give us your address. If you'll shoot it to me, I'll keep that private. It won't come up on the screen, but I'll keep that private, and then I'll get that in the mail to you and then, as a matter of fact, we'll see you in St Louis, most likely for SICW FanFest 3, and if that's the case, teddy Teddy and I will even autograph that for you, because we like you, jim.
