Speaker 1 (02:06):
Welcome to Games with Names with Becky Lynch, and we're

Speaker 2 (02:21):
That's great.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
You don't have to you don't have to say that.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
That was great, brother, that's how you cut a promo
that was incredible.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Jack, what do you got?

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Oh yeah, brother, we're talking to the man today. But
there can only be one man, and that's the Mutio man.

Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Oh wow, this is amazing.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
How are our promo skills, Becky?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Fantastic?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, a plus, top of the class.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
That was like my first question I wanted to ask
you is what goes into a great promo?

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I mean, oh ah, now you're asking questions question it's
a good story, I suppose, and then you know, pitch
tone and all that kind of stuff, a.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Little bit of melody. I just pretend to be macho man,
raindy savage all the time.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
That's great. And you know also that also that ye.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Cream cream rises to the up. No, welcome to games
with names. That's Jack, that's Kyler. I'm Julian. And today
we are looking at WrestleMania thirty five. Why we picked
this this match, Becky, because this is.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
The first time women ever remain invented wrestle.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Maine five years talking about thirty five years and this girl,
this one who once failed pe that's me also me
uh one won two two belts.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
To Becky two belts in the countdown the what were
the belts?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
SmackDown it's been a while, it's been a while, yes,
the raw on SmackDown titles and uh, you know, at
one point I told the friend, I said, I'm gonna
main event WrestleMania. He said it's nice to dreams would
be realistic. And he wasn't being mean, you know, he
wasn't even being mean. He was just being like, Aha,
women are never going to main event WrestleMania. I did it.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
You proved them wrong. Yeah, you proved them wrong. You
did it, and so did Rohnda and Flair did it
as well, but you came out on top. It was
a fun, fun watch.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I did, and you like. The thing that meant so
much to me about this was, you know, we were
in the time of the women's evolution, the revolution, you know,
and and and everything was historical. We were changing the
game left, right and center. But the story here was
the most interesting story at the time. And I didn't

(04:44):
want any sort of a token gesture of we're going
to have a historical women's main event for the sake
of history. I wanted it to be because there is
no other option to close out the show.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
And we got there, and you definitely got there. And
we'll get into the match and the suspension and the
lead up and everything, But first, is this the greatest
match of all time? No, we had to ask.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'd like to say yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
But it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
No, It's not even the best match I think I
had that year. But it was a historical match, yeah,
and one of the most historical matches and one of
the most important matches of all time. So uh so
we'll say that.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
In Ace Rutherford. I've played in that stadium. It gets
rock and sold out. You have the city Line in
the background, you got you got Flair coming in in
a helicopter. It was a fucking spectacle. And I grew
up watching w W. I had a lot of fun
watching this and brought me back to a lot of
my childhood memories because you know, wrestling was you know,

(05:50):
I was just during that Stone Cold era. My brother
who was seven years older than me, was like super
macho man, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, you know, a hulk.
I was in that like nWo X Park and Degeneration X,
Stone Cold Rock Stage, and you know, everyone has their
memory of wrestling. And it's really an honor to have
you here. So what's life looking like now?

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh it's great. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, great, Yeah, it's great.
Everything everything is great. You know, I got my wonderful
little family. Yeah, I've many options on the table, and
I get to, for the first time in a long time,
take a bit of a breath to appreciate everything, because
when you're on the road fifty two weeks a year,

(06:36):
non stop, going from town to town, and then in
the last three years, I added to the chaos by
having a daughter who I would bring everywhere with me.
And then on top of that, I decided it would
be good to write my biography. So it was really
for the last especially last year, two years pure chaos.

(06:57):
And now now I'm taking a little bit more time.
I'm taking a breath and getting to look around the world,
getting to look at what I created and that and
evaluate everything. And it's been wonderful.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
That's it. Yeah, people don't realize when you're in the
heat of what you're trying to accomplish. And I look
back on my career and I I never really appreciated it. No,
you never do, because you're always onto the next. And
I can only imagine with you guys, with fifty two
weeks of travel and how rigorous your schedule is and
how rigorous it is to keep your body in shape

(07:31):
and all that, like we were in a different avenue
of that, you know, being an athlete, because you, guys,
I see some of these fucking hits that you guys take,
and regardless of what you think, this shit is like
when you see when you kicked freaking Ronda Rousing and
she hits her back of her head and regardless of like,
that's that's brutal, and it's got to feel like a

(07:52):
car wreck and you know you're dealing with the body
and it just feels like you don't get to appreciate it.
It's awesome that you have a time. I'm right now
where you're you're appreciating what you did because you know,
we were looking back and reading back on your stories
and uh, you know you were a flight attendant. You
you had your dream, you went to acting school, Like

(08:14):
what what inspired you to go down this road?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Which road?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
The wrestling road?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh, the wrestling road? Well originally originally, originally, originally, so
originally I was a wrestling fan growing up, and uh,
who's your wrestlers? Mcfoley was my big one. Nick Foley
was Yeah. Mc foley was was the one. So so
you know I was Who's Mankind?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, the puppets? I liked him too.
I didn't, I didn't. I always knew him as Mankind.
Then he took the mask off and became in for
Cactus Jack.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Remember look, yeah, and so so, so I was a
fan growing up. You know, I have an older brother,
So anything that he watched, I watching anything he did
I wanted to do and annoy the Jesus at him.
But so so, you know, when we were little kids,
we were watching wrestle wrestling, you know, watch a manhole

(09:11):
cogaan water and uh, and then and then we both
fell out of it. And then when I was around twelve,
he started watching it again and uh, and I'd like,
you know that stuff so faked through babies and uh,
just like the worst. And he was like, no, it's
gotten really good, actually yeah, and so I'd like, you

(09:33):
putever and then and then and then mcfoley would come
on and he put these problems in the way he talked,
and I just you know, like like kind of like
side eyeing it, you know. And then and then and
then I and then it got to the point where
I was like, okay, well let me know when mc
foley's on. So then I would come and then i'd
watch him, and then I was hot, you know, and
then I was back in and then uh. But at

(09:55):
the time, it was like a little rough time in
my my my childhood and my parents who had separated
when I was like one, but they lived anyway. Its
competetit story family family, and we were going through some stuff.
And then I was up to no good. I was
like drink and I was smoking, I was, I was,
I was getting into all sorts of little little devil's lettuce.

(10:20):
A lot of a lot of devil's lettuce was consumed
in the back of my secondary school. And I could
be high school, could be high school, high school, high
school or what I mean middle school at that stage,
I don't I still don't know your terms. But yeah,

(10:43):
and then like then I was getting ready for my
junior shirt. Now you guys, I don't think have a
junior shirt, but like, our junior shirt is the thing
that prepares us for the leaving shirt, which I also
don't have, So you have no idea what I'm talking about.
So you and your shirt is a set of exams
you do in your third year of which maybe the

(11:07):
end of your middle school. I don't know. I had
to explain it.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
So it's like exit exams.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well, no, no, no, that's the leaving shirt. But the
junior shirit is supposed to prepare you for the leaving sirt,
and the leaving shirt is supposed to determine your future.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
So it's like the s a T. Yeah, Oh my god, yeah,
I did terribly on those that's shocking.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
And look at you now.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
To come over there. You hold me back, but I'm
going to get him.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
I know, nobody want to see a show.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Yeah, so sorry.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Also no, no, it was just it was just him, man.
It was just the way he talked, and his ability
to cut a promo. And you asked, what what makes
a good promo? Mick Foley, you know, but his ability
to craft the story and the unusual texture was everything
about it, and how sympathetic he was too. And then,

(12:12):
uh so, anyway, I was doing terribly in school, and
I realized that I should probably get my act together,
and of course the way to get my act together
be to start professional wrestling. Of course, you know, naturally
natural course of decisions. So so I went down to

(12:33):
this school that was an hour away from me and
in Ireland.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Now we're in Ireland, like near Dublin or something.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
So I lived in Dublin. This was in Bray County, Wicklow,
which is just outside of Dublin, just outside. Yeah, and
a young man called Fergle Debit was running this ergo
Debit his name, that's his name.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Sounds like a Lord of the Rings name.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, yeah, a little bit, a little bit cool. You
may know him in w w WE as Finn Balord.
Yeah yeah, so so so Virgo was running the school
and and so I showed up on the first date, likeight,
about my age had to be sixteen. I was only
fifteen fifteen, said I was seventeen. Genius move, We're good.

(13:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, genius move. And so they let
me in. They didn't even ask for idea or nothing.
And so and I was terrible at everything. I'd failed pee,
I was awful, and I was the most unathletic thing
in the world. Probably still am. But but for the
first time my life, I wanted to be good at something.
And I was like, oh this, this is awesome. This

(13:38):
is awesome. But we didn't even have a ring. We
just had six blue padded mats. And there was also
this sense of community because the Reston's like a bit
of a family, you know. I think it often attracts
the the odd balls and the misfits, you know what
I mean. And they're my people, you know, and so
and so now I had people, you know, and and

(13:59):
this wanted to get better at something, and then you know,
how you do one thing is how you do everything.
So I started getting better at school and you.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Know confidence, confidence, yeah, being confidence.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Gaining confidence. Yeah, never had any of that, and all
of a sudden I did. Yeah, And like at fifteen,
then I was heading off to England and I was
training over there, and I tore around England. And then
when I was seventeen, I was off in college and
I dropped out. I was studying history, politics and philosophy,

(14:31):
and I just had knowm interessting going into school. I
just wanted to go to the gym. They had a
great free gym, but I used and so so then
I dropped out of college. I moved off to Canada,
started wrestling around Canada, started wrestling around America. Eventually was
taken over to Japan, started wrestling there at eighteen, and
just kind of like making a little name for myself

(14:53):
on the independent circuit. And then when I was nineteen,
then you know, things were looking up, you know, I was,
I was doing well, but my visa ran out in
Canada and then I had to go home and live
with my mom and back in Ireland.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
So Canada, Ireland, UK College, dropped out, Canada, Ireland, Ireland College.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, I don't want to go down that road.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, no religious warfares.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's just in the bones, you know, when was.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
The moment you felt like you could make this a career.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
So this is a tricky story because when I was
like seventeen, you know, I just teamed with my brother.
My brother was wrestling too, and I just teamed with him.
I played the heel for the first time in this
little hall and killed there in Ireland in front of
like fifty people, and I was like, damn, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
I wasn't, but it was what made you feel that
When you felt that feeling, did you do a move
or was the crowd reacting away to crowd reacting?

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, she was the heel I think there was. And
this has been the thing that kind of allowed me
and despite any of my many of my shortcomings, is
I've been able to somehow garner a connection with the crowd.
I don't know what that is, and whatever that was,
it kind of really kicked off this night and killed there,

(16:28):
or at least I could feel like I could feel
that there was something that I could give to this industry,
to this business. I was like, I want to do it.
I want to be a pro wrestler, because before it
seemed like too much of a pipe drink for this
Irish girl to become a wrestler in WWE or anywhere
in the world. Who did I think that I was?

(16:51):
You know, who did I think that I was? That
I could make it?

Speaker 1 (16:54):
You know?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
And then at seventeen, I was like, I'm Rebecca fucking Quinn.
I can make it, you know. Yeah, and then.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Run through that over there.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
And then and then and then I came back after
taking my year off of college, and I ended up
back at home with my mom going, what's your plan?
What's your plan? What's your plan? What are you gonna do?
What you what's your plan? What are you gonna do?
You can go back to college, You're gonna get a
real job. What are you gonna do? And I just didn't,
you know, I was like, there's no I can't tell

(17:29):
you what the road is going to be because anything
that you would look at on TV, I can't say
I want to do that, you know you're looking at.
At the time, the women weren't, you know, treated as
the athletes and stairs that we are there this two
thousand and six, you know, and there was still a
lot of you know, pillow fights and all that kind
of jazz and brand panties matches and ain't nobody do that?

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, more of prop Yeah, whether they weren't getting into
it as much, No, no, no. And it was just
like that because that was like the end of when
I started stop watching you know what I mean that era?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, yeah, and yeah, And it was just that kind
of they weren't really taken seriously. There's certainly nobody was
eyeballing them to the main event really much, if anything.
And so I couldn't say, well, well, that's what I
want to do on TV that you see what what
I was, what I was looking at, what I wanted

(18:24):
to do was was these obscure promotions in Japan where
the women were better than any mom that I'd ever seen,
and they were kicking the shot out of each other.
And but it also couldn't show my mom that, you know,
She's like, what what is this? What do you You're
gonna make money over there? What if you get hurt?
And then my mom doesn't sound like this, by.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
The way, sounded American. I didn't have the Irish accent.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I don't know, I don't know, I just I just
have my voice in here and so so so. Anyway,
then I was in a match in Germany that I
ended up getting hurt and and I came back and
I had this gash over my eye and I had
these stitches, and I walked into the house with a

(19:14):
hat on and sunglasses on. My mom's like, what are you?
What are you doing? What are you doing? What are
you wearing those sunglasses? She yanked them off my face
and she was like, oh my god, you could have
last night. And I don't know that I could have,
but I could have. Maybe I could have. Maybe I
could have vicious eye poke, very illegal in the world

(19:37):
of professional wrestling.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah who who used to do it all the time?

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Every heel? Yeah, every heel it's ever existed, not not
too many, not too many of mostly a career long
babyface with a little little stint, at little stint, a
little he really my favorite stint being here. Anyway. The
point is, the point is then I uh at that's stick.

(20:04):
Such a long, convoluted story. But at that point I
had decided that I was going to move to Orlando
to do a personal training diploma, because then I'd have
a plan, like my mom had asked, and I'd be
in Orlando where they were filming TNA, which was the
rival of promotion at the time.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Florida is like the headquarters of all the wrestlers.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yes, yeah, yeah, lots of them live there, Yeah, work
on their tan brother Yeah, which actually, by the way,
I've got a little bit of one right now. Nobody
said anything, You got some color there? Yeah, I think,
But I think people didn't think it was possible, and
I've proved them wrong. Not only did I main event wrestle,
but I also got a tan.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
You prove it.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
You proved people were left, right and center.

Speaker 6 (20:50):
While we're on Tan talk. How does Shamus stay so white?
Is it like an anti tan thing he can do?

Speaker 2 (20:55):
I don't think it's possible for that man to get
any bit of color? God bless them. We love We
love the fella. We love the fella. What a lad?

Speaker 1 (21:06):
What lad?

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I've been listening to his answer to music a lot lately.
It's just so good, you know. Anyway, sho shout out
Seamus and his cyber truck. On his cyber truck. Guy,
he's a cyber truck.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeahyber truck. Yeah. I call it the halo truck.
Oh it does a little bit play Halo, looks the
same name thing.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, yeah, you can go camping with it, right, like
you can set up a tent in the back or something.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, but you know, the only thing And we're going
to get a little off topic because great, I have
an suv. I have an electric car and an SUV
that's a gas car. And I tried to bringing my
electric car on like a road trip. You can't do it. So, like,
if you're camping, you're limited like one hundred and eighty
miles away from where you live and there's gonna be
no charge station there. So how are you gonna do it?

(22:04):
In the Tesla truck? I know it says three fifty,
but my thing goes says three fifty again, about two
sixty out of that thing. Especially with the way you're driving.
You got you got a whole stuff. You probably got bikes,
you got you got stuff in the back, coolers that
are heavy. You know, you got a couple of tents.
You know, it's fucking bullshit. I'm sorry, Yeah, you're.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
You're not gonna go camping with your cyber truck.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Okay, I mean it looks great. I'm gonna. I got
a Tesla. I think Tesla's awesome, but we got until
we got like a thousand mile battery.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, I mean, why do you got to go so far?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Because if you're camping, you want to get out in nature.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, but you know what counts his nature? You know,
I mean, what counts his nature?

Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's kind. I mean, if you want to be a
poser camper, you can go like twenty minutes out of right,
But I want to go like that what we're talking.
I want to explore the nitty gritty of what the
United States of America has to give you in all
these dead spots where you can't get gash, you can't
get electricity. You can get lost up and see some
beautiful like trees anduff.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
But they give you all the supercharges along the way. Yeah,
surely there's a route.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Fucking Shamus.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Fellah, the fella. I love the fella anyway, that guy
and the stitches. And then at the moment, yeah and so,
and I don't know what I'm doing. I'm lost, I'm
all over the place. I'm like, I don't know, I'm nineteen.
It's not happening for me yet, you know. And I'm like, well,

(23:41):
maybe it'll never happen. Maybe I'm too old, Maybe I
need to get a real job, stop all this kids stuff.
And so and so I end up on a flight
to Florida and they stopped through through New York and
I call my mom and I'm like, Mom, I'm sorry.
I just want to come home. I just want to
come home. I'll give it all up, I'll find a

(24:01):
real job. I'll be normal or settled down. And she's like, no, no,
you can't come home. No she was, she was yeah,
she was like, you've been giving up on everything. You
got to you gotta get your act together, and so
and so I ended up going to Florida and do
on a personal training and diploma and not wrestling, and

(24:23):
then came home and then didn't know what to do.
And she was a flight attendant for twenty nine years.
She asked if I wanted her to hand in my
resume that makes it yeah, and so I said sure.
So then I ended up as a flight attendant. Didn't
like flight attendant thing, and and and and was longing
for that passion that I felt for wrestling, but felt

(24:45):
like I couldn't do wrestling like I did this stage
burnt bridges and all stuff and lost my way and
so uh so I ended up going to acting school
and uh, and I studiating in and Roblin and then
in Chicago, and then when I was finished with that,
then I was trying to get acting work all over

(25:07):
the place. And I ended up handing in my headshot
and resume to the Vikings that were filming in Ireland
at the time and like they must have taken it
and just the show. Yeah, yeah, and they were like, oh,
a stunt woman because I had all this physical experience
and not much acting experience other than college and uh.
And so then the stunt Guild called me and they're like, oh, hey,

(25:28):
are you a stunt woman? And I'm like, yeah, of
course that's me and had no idea what I was doing.
So then I went I was like, okay, well, let
me go down to a wrestling school because I knew
what I was doing there and if I apply that confidence,
then then they won't be any the wiser because I'll
be confident. You know. I was a fake it till
I make it, and so I did that. But then

(25:49):
when I went to the wrestling school, the guy that
was teaching the wrestling Class had just gotten signed to NXT,
and then he was like, Oh, do you want to
get a try out because I think he'd get it.
I think you'd get into WWI. I had all these plans.
I was going to go back to New York. I'd
lived in New York first hint, and I was gonna,
you know, try to get theater work. And once he

(26:10):
said that, I was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no,
I I gotta I gotta give this shot because my
life won't I won't be able to progress. Because in
all the time, which it ended up being seven years
between when I busted my eye open to when I
was in w W, seven years without wrestling. The whole time,
it was just this feeling that I had left this

(26:33):
thing that I had a gift for, and that I
was meant to do some more, and that I was
I was supposed to had all these notions about myself
being great and wrestling and changing the game and stuff,
which allegedly were true, because I did.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Know you know that that I can fully relate to
being the underdog. That confidence that you built in yourself,
that underdog mentality, I mean that sounds like it fueled
your career. You believed in yourself, and it's.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Well, actually kind of not well because well.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Your mom kicked you in the gear, made you believe
in yourself.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Then you well, no, no, no. Then then I was like, oh,
well I did believe in myself. But then what I
was doing was was wrong clearly, because now I'm in
this state where I'm confused and I'm lost. So now
I doubt myself and now I'm like, oh, everybody else
has the answers. Please tell me other people how I

(27:29):
am supposed to get places in life, because I don't
trust myself anymore, and so I think that I've always
had this this weird sense of confidence and just crippling
self doubt, like in almost equal measures. That's helped, you know, Yeah,
you don't get too cocky, you know, because there's always

(27:51):
that devil on your shoulder going you suck, you're the worst.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
It sounds very similar to being like Jewish ah. You
always think the sky is falling at all times, and
you think that way because you're trying to prepare yourself
if that even if your life's at the best, because
you know, and then all of a sudden, you know,
you know you're having a great time, a great part
of your life, and then something happens, because there's always

(28:17):
some bit of adversity or some problem that always you
have to overcome to have growth. You know what I mean.
It's just I one hundred percent relate to that because
it's like an insecurity where you never want to get
too high because the moment you feel like you're you're
you're too high, you feel like it will get swept
away from you in some form of fashion. So that

(28:38):
insecurity fuels you to work even harder even if you're
success at a certain level, because you're so appreciative of
where you've gotten in your career, you don't want to
do anything to jeopardize that. So you keep working, You
keep working, and you keep working. Something like that. That's
exactly how I felt in my career.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
You know, how did you manage the off.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Seasons through preparations?

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Okay, so that was never like an off season.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
No, the off seasons where you got your games. So
that's where because in the NFL you can't never be
the same guy each year. You need to bring something
new every year because you know, even if you had
a really successful year that off season, there's thirty one
teams that are game planning on how to make you worse.

(29:29):
And so if you don't evolve your game, bring something
new to your game and stay stagnant with your game. Now,
that can go into so many different forms of fashions, techniques,
getting in out of breaks, explosiveness, route running, route techniques,
all those types of things. Then you're gonna get bottled
up and that's when they try to replace you. So
you know, I I one hundred percent like understand that

(29:52):
that feeling it took for you to get to where
you got. Yeah, and it's it's probably did you did
you love being like the heel?

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, because I loved being a villain when I would
come out, because I felt, you know, like you're going out,
you're proving people wrong, you're proving what you know. I
would always go and fucking do my little heel thing.
When I go to another stadium, I'd run a hundred
yards and I fucking fist pump over at the crowd.
They'd be all booing, and shit, I embraced it. You know,
you go to New York City, you go to Buffalo,

(30:22):
these people hated you, you know, but I fueled off
that did you feel off?

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Oh really yeah, yeah, yeah wow, because you can do
no wrong right, like because you've got this freedom. It's
when you're what a burden to be liked by everybody.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
You know what I mean, like to be you put
that standard on yourself. Yeah, you know, but.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's your job. Your job is to be the babyface,
the good guy, to have people root for you. And
so when when you're when you're the bad guy, like great,
you get to make people hate you and that is
your and so you can do no wrong. You can
say whatever you want, you can do whatever you want,

(31:05):
and inevitably, when you're doing that, you're having more fun.
So then people start to like you, so then you
become a babyface. But then you're saddled with them needing
to like you, so then you're restricted and then your
freedom goes away, so then they start to boo you.
So then you start having fun because then you're the
heel and then you can do no wrong and then

(31:27):
they start to cheer you again because you're having and
it's just endless. It's just this endless cycle.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
Do you have any favorite like specific moments or things
that you got to do while you were playing a heel.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh gosh, oh. I really liked going to cut Bianca's hair,
you know, but then she turned it around on me,
just because like I kind of we led up to
that so much, and I think people really thought that
it was gonna happen, and they were so mad about it,

(32:00):
you know, because beyond guys, this cool, awesome braid that
she's able to do just amazing things with. Yeah yeah yeah,
but but but then she turned it around and then
cut my hair offs.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
In the ring is always fun. I like that.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
I'm very scary, very scary. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
because she was like ko ding me way too close
to them scissors, you know, could have been very dangerous.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Don't run with cut a lost and on.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
My mom was right all.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Along real quick. Before we go into our next segment,
what's it like being married to another w w E star?
Like do you guys? Are you guys at home like
on and off night, like practicing moves on each other
and stuff like hey, on this DT that I got
to execute next week, Like can you can you come
over here like just fucking knock them round?

Speaker 2 (32:53):
No? No, not really, not really that, but like I
suppose there is like so he's got a wrestling school
in in Iowa, and so like anytime when I was
coming back from collegiate, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,

(33:13):
and uh don't really get many of them coming into
the school anyway. And but yeah, so so I get
in with him and and wrestle around with him, and
you know, like he's he's amazing, he's just so so good.
So uh that's that's just awesome. Like you couldn't get

(33:34):
a better you guys, couldn't get a better partner. And
then he's like he's just got such a great mind
for it, and he's so sweat and now this is
just gonna end up in a whole tribute to how
great Kobe Lopez aka Seth Rollins is. But he's just
he's he's he's so awesome, and it's so great to
be able to talk about wrestling or not talk about wrestling.
And but really, like run an idea. The one thing

(33:56):
I think the one issue we may run into is
that like he's a no seller, Like he doesn't sell
anything right like like, so, so I'll be all hyped
up about this idea that I have and then this
is gonna happen, and this is gonna happen, and this
isn't that the best thing you ever heard?

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (34:13):
And he'll be like yeah, and then what you know,
and then a round of applause. Please you know, but yeah, no,
it's it's it's the best. It's the best.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
That's fucking awesome. We'll be right back after this quick break.
Let's jump into the segment where we go back into
time around April seven, twenty nineteen, and we talk about
pop culture. The number one movie.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
Wis is amb the remake?

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Oh, the remake? Yeah, like the Superhero, Oh, the super
I was thinking couz Am with no yeah, Sam with Shack.
You always watch that Superhero? Are you a superhero movie person?

Speaker 2 (34:55):
A little bit? Sorry?

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Why are you laughing? Do you remember that movie? Koa,
it's not.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Nothing to do with It's got everything to do with
the Old Town Road.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Let's hear it. Well, no number one song Old Town
Road lil Na.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah, well this is just Dana Brook, right. I love
Dana Brook wrestling. She's she's now in t Na as
ash by Elegance. But remember when maybe they still do
do people like film themselves singing songs. Yeah, you know,
all sexy like you know, but she put up on

(35:35):
Instagram her singing the song gonna take my horse to
the hotel room? What is she taking the horse to?
It's just it's just for me, but it's just pop me.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
It's a little different than the story. My seven year
old daughter loves his song.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Great song, great, Oh god, yeah for all ages. It
does sound like like hotel room anyway.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
On a lighter note, burned down.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
Oh gosh, yeah, yeah, yeah, they hit the spot then.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
I mean, Cozimoto, that was a great movie. But I
I wasn't I you know, nobody was hurt. No.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
I remember watching this. They had like twenty four hour coverage.
We'd be in the training room getting ready for practice
and we'd have this on. I'm like, oh my god,
that's how did they let this happen? Yeah, old ship
though it's been there for a long time.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
I've been there for a long time, long time building
maybe rebuilding, rebuilding.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Yeah have you been?

Speaker 5 (36:51):
Have you?

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Are you Game of Thrones person?

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:56):
This was the long night episode debut, the longest battle
ever screen nearly eighty minutes. So you remember this scene?

Speaker 2 (37:05):
So so at the time, huh.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
You should have been like you should have been in
Game of Thrones.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Yeah, missed opportunity. Game of Thrones casters and yeah, but
there is House of the Dragon. So anyway, and I
we didn't watch it. I didn't watch.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
I haven't watched it.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Soo, you watch it now.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
I haven't watched what.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Have you watch?

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Haven't yet.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
I've watched dragons hot. Yeah it's great.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Oh my god, the last episode.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
I'm not current.

Speaker 6 (37:41):
Oh okay, he's been dragon. I'm so tired from all
these shows we've been doing. I like, turn it on
the other day and it was like the recap of
season one and it was so much that I was
like I put on all you see because I couldn't
handle it.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yeah, you want to really back.

Speaker 6 (37:53):
I gotta read season one again to get back into it.
But it's very good. I think better than the end
of season of regular Game of Thrones.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Wait, wait, the end the end of Game of Thrones. Yes,
like is in the season finale that is in that.

Speaker 6 (38:06):
The last couple of seasons of Game of Thrones. I
think House of Dragons caught the magic of early Game
of Thrones.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
So you know what, I think you're wrong?

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yeah, yeah, So so here's so going back to this, right,
I wasn't. I wasn't watching it.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
Then.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Okay, so pandemic hit. Now it's my time. Now it's
my time to watch Game of Thrones.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
So so myself and the husband were at home and
we just binge it. We go through every episode of
Game of Thrones within like a two week period. Yeah,
and the end was great. It made sense. It made
sense because I had no preconceived notions, you know what
I mean. I didn't have good time in between to

(38:48):
like off the size, yeah, to to to investigate what
could happen, you know, like, of course John Snow isn't
gonna end up on the throne. Of course he's not.
He already came back from the he got one win.
You know, he can't have all the wins, which just
made sense.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
You can't, you know what I mean? Agree to disagree, Becky,
Just just a little reference. He's a little bit of
a film snob. You know, he went to the film school,
you know, he did all that.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
He's very opinionated. Correct.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, but yeah, but are you correct personally or do
you think what is correct?

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:27):
There is no such thing.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
In math, yes, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
And in wrestling, thirty five.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
I don't know in math, well, that was the only
possible I heard.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
There's a new theory go on that all the theories
are wrong.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
Go on, Gala.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
The Avengers game Endgame came out, So you're superheroes, like you,
so you watch those. Yeah, I'm starting to go down
him now with my kid, seven year old. She's starting
like we started all iron Man. It's getting to a
point where like she's not too scared, so like we're
going down iron Man. We're gonna do it chronologically. She
doesn't want to watch Wonder Woman though, she rather watched like, yeah,

(40:11):
I don't get it. We've I've been trying to like
put it on her, like, hey, what about Wonder One?

Speaker 2 (40:15):
What does she like?

Speaker 1 (40:16):
She likes Iron Man, likes the Spider Man.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
She likes what she likes.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
I don't know how she watched that Spider Man, the
original one with the green goblins pretty freaky.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Does she like scary stuff?

Speaker 1 (40:27):
She kind of does, go like I probably shouldn't be
showing a seven year.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Old this ship, but yeah no, my daughter. My daughter's
the same. I love the scary stuff. Obsessed with zombies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well we took her to Disneyland yesterday. Though she didn't
like the Pirates of the Caribbean Pirates Cariby very upset
when we went down that went down, got splashed, very
upset by that. Did she enjoy the characters, like, isn't the.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Other one walking around and ship?

Speaker 2 (40:57):
She dressed up as Jesse and then she got to
meet Jesse toy story, so yeah, yeah, she loved it.
But she loves the girls. Yeah, Fall's girl, you know,
so she really likes any of the girls, superheroes, a
girl character.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. Like I just brought my daughter
to Magic Mountain and she's seven now, so she's she's
just under forty or fifty four inches, but she's over
forty eight. So she goes on like eighty percent of
the like upside down rides. Oh and I introduced him
to her and she's like she was about it. She
on that Lex Luthor one. Have you been there? Lex

(41:32):
Luthor is to drop one like it just drops. It's
like forty six stories. Like I was pretty proud of her.
She's taking it like a cham and wanted to go
more and more. That's like fun when you started.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Getting to bring the kids there, adrenaline junkie, Lily, What was.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Life like for you in like twenty nineteen, So you said,
two thousand and six, where are you and your sore?
You're popping off right now?

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah? Yeah, I started to kind of you know, I
had I had different stages of popping off, but this
was probably the height of the pop off.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah. So like around summer summer of twenty eighteen, things
really started clicking, and then we get to twenty nineteen,
then WrestleMania main event.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
So like things were good, things are really good.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Things were good. Yeah, yeah, I started seeing my husband.
Now is this great year of three ninety eight? Great year,
great year, great year. Cham everything's happened, everything's happening.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
Yep, the year of Becky, the year. I'm to declare
it right now. Yeah, all this time later.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
All this all this time retroactive, all this time.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
In the sports world. In twenty eighteen slash nineteen NBA
champions were the Toronto Raptors.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
I remember that, do you yep?

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Are you an NBA fan?

Speaker 4 (42:58):
Nope?

Speaker 1 (42:59):
No, remember, but you lived in Canada and you saw
a Canadian team more than that the world, so you
probably like, yeah, Giannis was the MVP of the NBA.
You knew that is no Greek large Greek Stanley Cup,
champions of Saint Louis, Blues hockey, hockey, girl, any any

(43:21):
American sport and you know.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
So my husband's a big football guy. So I've been
getting into football, but mostly for the gossip. It's just
like men's gossip, isn't it. Like you know, they all
get together afterwards and they're like, oh and then did
you see that the catch off him? And you know,
it's just it's great. I mean they don't say it

(43:45):
just like that, but like the stuff that goes on,
and then I get really into it because like I love,
I love a bit of gossip, you know, and people
people they ship on gossip. But it's just really it's storytelling. Yeah,
this is my way to make it sounds fist catered
and and storytelling is what we do as professional wrestlers

(44:05):
and it's the greatest way of communication, and really what
are we without our stories? Anyway? I love a bit
of gossip, so I find that there's lots of gossip
around football.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Who's your favorite football team?

Speaker 2 (44:17):
I would be divorced if I didn't say the Bears.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Bear your husband must be for Chicago, because when you
said Chicago, you said it in a chicagoan accent.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Well, well, Iowa, he's from Iowa in that area in Chicago, Chicago.
Well I lived in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
You live in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Lived in Chicago. Yeah, for for nearly a year. That's
politics free. Yeah yeah, yeah we we or I arrived
there on the snow apocalypse. Do you remember that, Oh yeah,
snow apocalypse of twenty or when was that twenty eleven,
twenty eleven.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
Twenty eleven, eleven eleven, yep, Snowmageddon.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yeah, we get in. We had a big one in
fourteen in Boston. They had to cancel or they had
to postpone our parade because we had like two feet
of snow fucking narly old.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Winter's worth of record in like three week period. So
it was it was a record for the whole winter winter.

Speaker 6 (45:17):
But all that happened in like a three week period
because nuts, it was kind of like the snow. I
was going to college Boston Common and me and my
my roommate was a huge wrestling fan, so me and
there was so much snow. Me and him were doing
all kinds of moves with each other into the snow.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Oh that's great. Didn't get hurt.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
I think maybe some egos.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Oh that's why we say don't try this at home.
That's the reason.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
What's your favorite town? What's the best wrestling town like

documentary to promote an NFL game, like in twenty sixteen.
We went down with the Lucho Libres or what the
that's what they're called, Gluca doors, and they taught me.
They taught us a couple moves. Went and wrestled with them.

to take a quick copy and paste. We're good.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
Was his nickname is the squirrel? So something squirrel incorporated
playing squol come off the top rope?

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you could do like a frog splash,
call it a squirrel splash.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Ooh, like a nab.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
A little bit more squirreliness in there.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Yeah, I feel so bad like you just came brought
to me, did your brother do all the wrestling moves
on you?

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Uh ye, kind of the other way around. So he
was really good and I was awful, And like within
nine months he was already teaching classes, Like he was great.
And he's just one of those people that's a really
great natural teacher of anything, you know what I mean,
Like I'll have this problem and just anything, and he'll
be able to figure out where I'm going wrong and

(49:44):
be able to coach me into doing it better. And
uh and and he would just let me practice on
him in the back garden endless.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
That's amazing, endlessly. I thought about that because I used
to just fucking rip my sister. I used to be
the undertaker. We're doing choke slams. I get her in
a figure four sharpshooters because my brother used to do
it to me. Huh oh yeah, she's three years younger.
My brother's seven years older. Oh yeah, So he used

(50:14):
to fucking kill me with all those moves. And like
you know, and your kid, they're taking it to the
whole other level. When you're tapping, he's not letting me out. Jack,
Why don't you.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
Set the stage all right back to WrestleMania at thirty
five set in the stage here. This was a triple
threat match. So we got Becky, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rowsey.
We're gonna roll through like we do the teams. We'll
roll through Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rowsey. First here Charlotte
Flair from North Charlotte, noauth, Carolina little known fact, daughter
of Rick Flair. If you didn't know by the name,

(50:44):
maybe fourteen time world champion sign with w W in
twenty thirteen. You guys came up right around the same time, right,
Becky kind of broke in.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Yeah, yeah, you guys with girls.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Huh we date? Yeah, best friends. We debuted on the
main roster in the same group little friends.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Yeah yeah till this till this night.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
No, not really could kind of dissipated before then, but
but but uh.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Better the better for the match. We were.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
We were part of a little gal pal group called
PCB PCB. Yeah, page Charlotte. Becky wasn't very imagine, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
Rolls off the tungelow rolls off.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
What about Charlotte.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
We got I gotta talk about Charlotte's moves here for
a minute. She does the running knee jump just like
her Pops. She does that knife edge chop just like Pops. Uh,
finishing moves Figure four and figure eate.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
Leg lock right, which is the figure eight? Yeah, it's
just the Figure four with a.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Bridge proc Protoc Yeah, Protoc.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
Should get in a runa here real quick. Ronda came
over from the UFC twelve and two. In her m
m A career, uh known as row Iranda Rousey the
baddest woman on the planet. She was also a bronze
medal winner in judo. Came having a little Olympic pedigree
in there. Former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion made her debut

(52:13):
in the ring the year before this with Kurt Angel
at WrestleMania thirty four. I believe so relatively new in
her like in ring experience, even though she'd kind of
been making some little like cameos in the years before WrestleMania.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Yeah, okay, it's fucking WrestleMania.

Speaker 4 (52:29):
And she's the only woman to hold the UFC in
WWE championship belts as well as headline a pay per
view event for both, which is pretty crazy distinction.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
What was your perception of Ronda joining WWE.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
This is going to be great for business. Yeah, it's
going to be great for business. And I think it
showed how far we had come, you know, because, like
I said when I was watching, if it was back
in two thousand and six, Ronda Rousi, who had done
so much for women's martial arts, martial arts in general,
UFC in general, if it was back where it was,

(53:04):
I don't think she would have been interested. The fact
that that we had changed the game so much and
we're seeing as as competitors and stars in our own
rights kind of I think made it more intriguing for
her to come over here.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
And uh and she was going to bring a lot
of eyes to the product she did. Yeah, she brought
a lot of advice.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
I mean that that was she was like one of
the biggest woman stars in all of sports for you know,
her stint and when she jumped over to the WDBE,
I was like, this matchman in heaven, it's gonna make
this weight, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Yeah, and then that Wrestlemanium at thirty four, that was incredible.
That was that was a great match.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Yeah, so I think everybody was everybody was all aboard.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Yeah, how would you sum up Charlotte, are we on
good terms? Are we bad terms?

Speaker 2 (53:56):
We're fine? Now I want to just put.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Her head into a fucking chair.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
I hold no, uh no grievance.

Speaker 6 (54:07):
Well, how about, like from from a craft perspective, how
would you sum up Charlotte and Ronda's styles as like wrestlers.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
I mean fish pumps, Rnda like, I'm like, you gotta
settle down, coach.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
So so Charlotte, Uh, lots of poise, finesse, incredible athlete
and Ronda so quick to pick up the sport. You
know what I mean in terms of her experience and
and the application from how long she had been doing

(54:40):
because professional wrestling is so different than martial arts. You know,
it's it's it's such a different art form. It's and
and and she adapted very well. Thanks Becky, You're you're down.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
The next one. Break down the main event.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
Please, we got to talk about the third member of
this triple threat match and our guest today. I'm telling
this to the audience. Beck He already knows this stuff,
she lived it, but just for the audience. The high
level on Becky from Bloomrick Island build out a Dublin
AKA big Time becks Ak the Man Ak, the Irish
Last Kicker, Ak Maiden island Ak. I think my favorite

(55:21):
Becky two belts, Baby Becky two belts. You know those
signature moves, the disarmor the man handles slam eleven time champ.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
If I'm not mistaken, I think that's wrong. But I
like that. I think it's.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Eight, Okay.

Speaker 4 (55:33):
I know they count something like.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Yeah, No, I think it's I think it's eight. Okay,
I like eleven. Let's go with my favorite lumber. Let's
just do some.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
Checking spot. But it's pretty close.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
And the first woman to hold the Raw Women's Championship
the SmackDown Women's Championship titles simultaneously and.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
At first part of the first women WrestleMania event of
all time. And where does nickname the Man come from?
What's the story behind this?

Speaker 2 (56:05):
Well, I'm in in in your sport, right, the top guy.
What's he called?

Speaker 1 (56:12):
Right?

Speaker 3 (56:12):
Call the Man right right?

Speaker 2 (56:15):
Like they're like, oh, he's the man, You're the man,
man Man, the top dog in the sport. I'm the
top dog in my sport.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
So you're the fucking man, the Man.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
I'm the man.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
I fucking dig it, I fucking dig it. Too, When
when did you how did you hone down and develop
your im ring persona.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
It's just a little pissed off, wasn't I? You know,
like I was just see the facial express you got, Yeah,
you practice those no, just be wild. I suppose maybe
with my daughter always playing games, he always wants me
to be a lion or something, and so get yeah, yeah,
And you know, like I think everything was so circumstantial.

(56:55):
I'd gone from being this career long baby face of
always being the good guy, always be a naive, having
that rapport with the audience, doing silly videos often, you know,
people like this lovable goof and then you know, I
got screwed over one too many times and then said
I'm not taking it anymore. And I think a lot

(57:16):
of people could relate to that. And people wanted to
see me get my moment. They were sick of seeing
me getting walked all over. And I was supposed to
be the heel, the bad guy when I turned right,
when I turned into the man, I suppose, but it
ended up being but like nobody thought that I was
going to be the bad guy, Like the audience knew.

(57:37):
The audience wanted me to have my moment. I knew
that as soon as I was going to turn, they
were just going to lose their minds. They were going
to be happy. But I think there was a little
bit of naivety from the part of the creative which
they they thought that they thought that people would boo

(57:58):
me if I turned on Charlottet had had been in
the in the main title picture for a long time,
and I think people it was just kind of a
miscast in terms of where where people's sympathies would be.
People felt sorry for me on the run up, and
then I turned, and then they were like, fuck, yeah,
I bet he's going to get her moment and uh,

(58:20):
and they didn't want to see Charlotte getting her moments anymore.
They wanted to see somebody new, you know, and and
so and so. Anyway, it lended itself perfectly to me
becoming the man now kind of went all over the
place there, But I always might need more of my progra.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
All over the place kind of podcast. Now. The first time,
when you go from here and you start feeling that
audience starting to support you, that's got to be pretty
fucking cool.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Well, yeah, they were, they were already.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Behind already they were already the underdog.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
Yeah, it was the underdog, and they were already behind me.
And then it's just it grew, it grew a life
of its own from there, like they it was just
I don't know, it was this movement that we all
felt part of, you know, and then a Survivor series
in twenty eighteen. Then I ended up getting my nose

(59:15):
busted open in this invasion angle. A girl called Naya
Jack's punched me in the face by accident, But it
ended up to be one of the coolest things that
ever happened because I was totally totally conclusted, out of
my mind, like just out of it, but I had
like blood dripping down my face. I was still carrying on.

(59:35):
I ended up like up top and on top of
the arena with my hands spread out, the crowd losing
their mind, blood streaming down my face, and it ended
up being like one of these, for lack of a
better term, an iconicish photo in wrestling, which I had

(59:56):
nothing to do with. Wasn't even aware of what was happening,
and that kind of cateabult things towards going to the
main event, because I was on the run up to
it was supposed to be me and Rhonda a Survivor series.
But when that match couldn't happen anymore because of the
broken nose and the conclusion, then then well what better

(01:00:17):
place for it to happen than WrestleMania And by then
people were already so invested and they wanted to see it,
and it was the match that made sense.

Speaker 6 (01:00:27):
Well, when we were prepping for this episode, in this
whole run up that you had, we were kind of
talking a lot. How you know, wrestling is both theater
and athleticism. It's that kind of nexus to the both.
And what's so interesting is it's got improvisation in a
way that theater might not have, and maybe athleticism comes
across it differently. But the fact that you kind of
got hit in the face and you're bleeding and you

(01:00:47):
can in that moment you're feeling very physical stuff, but
you're also telling a story, So like, how like what's
going on in your brain and your process to like,
here's an opportunity to use this and have that kind
of actually this thing that happened to know actually find
its way into the greater story of that you guys
are telling, what's it like in that moment, like did
you know you had something when that was happening, or

(01:01:07):
like did it just the next day you wake up
like oh my.

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
God, that happened, Like can you walk us through that
moment a little?

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Yeah? So it wasn't so I wasn't very with it,
so I wasn't aware of any I wasn't going, oh,
this is gonna be so cool. I was just like
I remember getting punched and going, oh, I'm conclused, like
as I as I collapsed, you know, and then I
was like, okay, let me And then I don't really

(01:01:33):
remember anything apart from at one stage going out to
get a chair because I knew my spot was go
out get a chair, hit Ronda with her when she
comes in. She was going to be coming out, and
so her music hit, so I bailed, got the chair,
doctor through a towel at me, I wiped my face
through a back and grabbed the chair and went in,

(01:01:53):
and then I just remember the crowd going after I
hit Ronda, going one more time, one more time, and
also being very cognizant that I was not with it,
and it was like, let me do this safely, you know.
Lett She also be concussed and then and then just
knowing that my spot was to go back up the ramp,

(01:02:16):
and so it was just kind of in it, but
but not really in it, not really with it. And
then I came through the curtain. After the I was
waiting for the red light to go off on the camera,
so I was aware that I had to wait for
the for the camera light to go off. And then
I walked through and then I was like, oh, where
am I? Who are you to the security guy, and

(01:02:41):
uh yeah. Then I was just then I was just
completely out of it. And then I got I got
text messages being like, oh my god, that was awesome,
and I was like, huh yeah, what what was like
the first one happened?

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
The first time you see that picture that you're like,
oh ship.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Oh it looks so cool. Yes, it was such a
bad about us, but like in real life, I was
backstage going what happened? Did I break my neck? Yeah?
I also didn't sound like that either.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Adrenaline goes along.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
What these voices are doing? Dud voice?

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Anyway, Jack hit the match A little bit of the
lead up to this one.

Speaker 4 (01:03:19):
We're talking WrestleMania thirty five Wrestlemane the card's massive sixteen
events this one, but Becky touched on a little bit
the lead up to WrestleMania thirty five. We had the
face smash on SmackDown with Rowsy.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Uh. We also had February.

Speaker 4 (01:03:34):
The suspension was big in the story leading up to
this with the injury, the knee injury. And then I
think my personal favorite before it was in April. It
was a SmackDown right before this, I believe, right when
you're fighting under arrest. Oh that was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Yeah, it was. It was the raw, raw, right raw.
And I remember because because of the SmackDown that happened
the night after, right because SmackDown was still on Tuesdays.
It was Tuesday night, and so I remember getting on
the SmackDown. I had to go cut a promo, but
I was like, should I be in jail?

Speaker 5 (01:04:13):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
So their way of countering that was the police officer.
I had obviously charmed the police officer into dropping me
off at the building because I showed up in a
police car and got out and I was like, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Answer boys.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
Again didn't sound like that.

Speaker 6 (01:04:31):
I don't know anyway, when you hear like that story,
is pitched or however that comes across your plate.

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
Is that just like, this is fucking awesome. I can't
wait to do it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:39):
Like, how does it feel like when something so absordive,
like everyone's going in and out of police cars in
the backstage comes about?

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
How do you process?

Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
And that?

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Well, I think most wrestlers, I speak for us as
a general population, when we get our creative go, god, no,
why should we do now? God, that's so stupid. We
all sound like that. That was accurate, and then you know,
someone will explain it to us and then I go, oh, yeah,
I guess it works. It's awesome. That was all right. Yeah,

(01:05:11):
when they pitched me something, Yeah, because your stuff is
all fake to write no.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
About Wait, yours is fake?

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
No, no, no, no, it's talking about yours.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Oh yeah, I don't know why you made that reference. Okay,
no scripted joking, frustrated. No, it's a huge thing going
around that NFL is scripted.

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
No, I know the gossip. Yeah, I'm all to date
on my gossip.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Yeah, it's it's a big thing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
What's your what's your favorite gossip in the NFL right now?

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Gosh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
Is a Taylor's of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
That's kind of petered out a little bit, a little bit.
I'm really I'm really waiting for the next season really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're still in the off season.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
You got to explain the.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Kelsey brothers did get a new cereal though, didn't they
the Kelso is it with the with the different cereals
the faces on a cereal? I believe that I'm in
a in a group thread of junk food.

Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
Oh yeah, this is this is nineteen hours ago, right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
Yeah, wow, wow, that's my that's my gossip.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
Yeah, nineteen hours ago. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
Kelsy Mixed Cereal is being launched as a cereal that
combines their three favorite brands.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Whoa which is?

Speaker 4 (01:06:44):
Which is? Receis Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Lucky Charms.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Wait, so they're gonna put all three together? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
That's where do we stand on this? Would we draw?

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
You can't go peanut butter with Lucky Charms and by
the waymon toast. Those are three different complete flavors like.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
If you go if you explosion in your mouth, brother,
But if you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
Go peanut butter like a peanut butter reasy puff, you
should probably go with like a chocolate puff, or you
go with a Captain crunch, something that's neutral crunch. You
can't have cinnamon, chocolate and marshmallow all in the same.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
One hundred percent. You can't.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Is that what they do in Ireland?

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Isn't that like amore?

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Isn't that a small Isn't that a marshmallow?

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
Isn't a ground cracker? Kind of cinnamon little hint of cinnamon?

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
I think, Oh my god, Sun, it's kind of like
total mind blow.

Speaker 1 (01:07:39):
Oh actually makes sense, like when they pitch you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
The thing exactly exactly Look at that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
Callback now, can you explain to the listener how fucking big
WrestleMania is.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
It's like the super Bowl for wrestling. It's a super
It's a super Bowl for wrestling, and.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
This specific one was even big, bigger than just a
super Bowl. It was Kurt Angle's last match, Dave Batista's
last match, first time, KOFE Kingston.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Yeah, KOFE Mania.

Speaker 7 (01:08:10):
It was also Kochea like this stres fan yep, Colin
jostestonel guy in the Battle Royale wearing a Cleveland Browns
jersey for some reason, and Seth Rowlands won Universal Championship
this night.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Can you take us through the moment? Can you take
this is? Because this is a big this is a
big thing. Can you take us through the moment when
you first found out you were gonna headline WrestleMania thirty
five call, How excited were you? Like? This is? I
mean we talked about seven years ago, when you're coming
into mom's house with banged up eye, going to fucking

(01:08:44):
everywhere on the world. Now you're literally doing what you
didn't even imagine to be able to do because it
has never been done. You're the pioneer for this. How
did that? That had to be fucking amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
Yeah, it was incredible. It was incredible. I was driving
from I was driving from Buffalo, New York to Boston. Yeah, yeah,
you know it, pike yep. Six hour drive, six hour drive.
We had an early show. Oh really, Yeah, I was cruising,

(01:09:17):
but I stopped. I stopped and I had like a
little dance party in the car, and then I told.
I told, I told Kolby. I told my my boyfriend
at the time now husband. He was the first person
I told, which was probably insensitive, which was very insensitive
of me, because he was also hoping to be the
main event of WrestleMania that year.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
How do you take it?

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
How do you take it?

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
So, like I've said, my husband's a no seller, no seller,
So so I said, we're gonna main event WrestleMania and
he goes, that's interesting. Well, like he he said, he
was like, well, because normally they don't announce what the
main event is, and I think up until that point
they actually hadn't. He was right, they never actually announced

(01:10:05):
it before had Nowadays everybody just says the main event
of WrestleMania and then we'll see what happens on the day.
But it was a bit of a stab to him.
You know, yeah, I should I should have handled it
more sensitively.

Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
What went into planning this match? Like you get the
call and then break us down on preparation emotionally, physically,
and then.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
You know, oh my gosh, Like then the week running up,
like my husband was just the best, Like I was
just so nervous and scared, and would you know, he
would just counsel on me and remind me that it's
not about the wrestling, it's not about the moves, it's
about the emotion. It's about the story being told that

(01:10:55):
which is what it is. You know, and we were
already there. We already had the crowd, we already had
the hooked by the story, and it was just a
matter of of going out there and doing the damn thing.
But we didn't really get to plan the match until
the day of WHOA and even then, like the show

(01:11:16):
because because you know, this was a historical match, everybody
in media, media, media, media, so we were always being
dragged in different spots and so so we didn't really
have anything up until a few maybe an hour before
we went out. And the other thing was, I don't

(01:11:37):
think Ronda had never been in a triple threat match before,
and they're they're kind of nuanced in in in your
way of structuring them in terms of how many people
should be in rain the area. Yeah, so we didn't
get to get to walk over all of those all
of those details before and but you know, we went
there there and the the crowd had been sitting through

(01:11:59):
about eight hours.

Speaker 4 (01:12:00):
Wrestling at that stage, after midnight.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
It was after midnight. It was after after midnight when
we went out there, and so it was a long
it was a long night, but the crowd were still
with us. They were just chanting Becky the entire time.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
Yeah, we definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
I was, Yeah, I was the crowd favorite and they
were all still there. You know, I think that was
the thing. Nobody's going to leave a WrestleMania. But you know,
at that hour, the trains, I think the trains were
shut down. Like everybody ended up being stranded after this
because it's certain and it's sort of raining and nobody
get up. It's the whole disaster. But anyway, in that moment,

(01:12:37):
in that great moment, Yeah, the crowd just kept kept
chanting Becky all night until I till I won.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
The shoulders down.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
Kind of yeah, yeah, and then you know they they
were they were down three. Look, it's not my job.
It's not my job to look for the shoulders being down.
It's my job to listen to for the three count,
and it was there.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
I mean, the ref's gonna call what the ref calls.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
The ref's gonna call with the ref calls.

Speaker 6 (01:13:09):
So in that moment, like not to skip ahead, but
you kind of brought it up. You're you're sitting on
the liddle the middle of the match or the ring,
middle of MetLife, like you got the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
You're now at the top of wrestling.

Speaker 6 (01:13:22):
You are officially the man, like as a entertainer, as
an athlete, as just a human.

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
What what are you? What's going through your mind in
that moment?

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
Well, I think the whole day everybody exhausted.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
You gotta be exhausted.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
I don't think I was exhausted just yet, but everybody was.
Everybody kept saying, soaking in, soaking in, soak it in,
soak it in. So I'm just going am I soaking
it in? I'm soaking everything in, soaking it in, you know.
So it's just I was just very cognizant of soaking

(01:13:55):
it in. Yeah, so I'm soaking it in, soaking it in.

Speaker 4 (01:14:00):
And clarify here these were the This was the Raw
Women's Championship belt over one shoulder and the SmackDown Women's
Championship belt over the other shoulder. That's what was on
the line, baby, Yeah, very heavy.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
We've had a lot of championships on this couch. We
always ask how did you celebrate it? And champagne? What
are we doing? We're going crazy? Or are we back
on the road. No.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
Husband had bought me a bottle of Don Julio.

Speaker 4 (01:14:28):
Yeah, yeah, baby.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
So we got back to the hotel, I think around
two three, maybe two or three, and I had a
few shots of t Kima, went to bed, had to
be up to five in the morning to go do media,
and then they had raw the next day. So that
was that was it. That was the celebration.

Speaker 4 (01:14:49):
Grind, don't turn the fucking page.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
We gotta go, Yeah, then we gotta then we gotta go,
and then we gotta do raw the next night, and
that was it, man, And then just the show keeps going,
like doing doing the super Bowl and then having.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
A well we get three months off, yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
Then having off in a free game the next night
or whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
So I I've experienced that when you know, I got
when when I got Super Bowl MVP, I didn't get
to go out and go crazy because next day they
fly you immediately to like Disney World, do all the
like three hours of media at Disney World for that
whole thing. So I have you got to keep it going, yeah, yeah,

(01:15:28):
got to keep it going.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Can't take the foot off the gas, can't can't can't
stop owing stop.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
Shake it you get, damn you get damn you know
that song, No I can't stop, well stop.

Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
We'll remind a little bit. I know we flash forward
a little bit, but just to set the stage here
a little bit and and give some clarity to this one.
This is a triple threat match. No DQ's right. First
one to get pinned or submitted wins, correct. Okay, I
just want to make sure I got that right and
got it out there so everyone knows the rules we're
operating under.

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
Here.

Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
Started out, Ronda was we were watching last night, Ron

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
Rondo was clearly tote in the line.

Speaker 4 (01:16:29):
Big time, big time. And then we get to after
we get that, we got some fighting outside the ring.
We're back in the ring.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Table you brought in the table?

Speaker 4 (01:16:37):
Yep? What was the table choice? Because of all the props?
Did you mind go table right away?

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):

It was like a gas station. No, it was some circle.
It was an old arena. They went there, my dad
took and.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
You haven't been since.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
I haven't been, so get yeah, get hurt because she's
trying to go. She likes speaking of retirement. She always
talks about John Cena because of the fucking Scooby Doo movie.
And she asked me that. And she doesn't call him
John Cena. She calls him the John Cena. Oh, I
love it, So I go. She goes, Dad, do you
know the John Cena. I'm like, I met him once

(01:17:46):

Yeah? Is he? Is? He someone you look up to?

Speaker 4 (01:18:03):
For me?

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
He post post wrestling because like in my in my
field with football, you know there's guys like Michael Michael
Strahan that you look at who does Good Morning America
does all this. He's like, he's a big He's done
some great things after football. He's used his football platform
to take himself into a whole other level. Do you

(01:18:24):
you look at that with like sena or is that
some like an inspiration of something you want to do
after me?

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
Yeah, John John's Yeah, he's just I mean, he's just
done everything fantastically well, you know, he's he's handled his
wrestling career with such class and now his acting career
and just everything he does just turns to gold. But
he's just such a great human being. You know. I
think like his his mindset is always like always ask

(01:18:50):
him about it, you know, because he's so leveled, right,
he's so calm, He's he thinks deeply about things, and he's, uh,
he's always there if you need advice, sir, whatever else.
He just has time for people. He's just an all
round good dude.

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
He seems like it is.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
We're shout out to the Johnson.

Speaker 6 (01:19:08):
We've been talking to people about getting him on the show. So, Jules,
if you could say something really nice about John Cena,
it'd be awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
My daughter loves you. Come on, dude, Hell yeah, and
from Massachusetts and Massachusetts.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
So my daughter loves him because of Ferdinand, Ferdinand the
bull one. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he was a burden

she looked at me. I said that someone was bigger
than me. So thanks John, make me feel like a
little human front of much daughter. Come on, Games with names?
Can we get the legacy of this game?

Speaker 6 (01:20:02):
Jack, I'm sorry, wrap up on this match.

Speaker 4 (01:20:05):
We know what happens in the end. Becky wins. It
captures both belts and then.

Speaker 1 (01:20:11):
Crazy move to the first thing where Ronda tried to
get you and then you fucking pinder with your legs
all clinched up on her and stuff. That's gnarly.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
Call that a cruise fix.

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
So sick question for you.

Speaker 6 (01:20:25):
There was a moment where you two had Ronda over
the the ropes and like.

Speaker 3 (01:20:31):
She like fell down.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
Moment. I wanted to do it. I wanted to spend
an hour on that drop kick.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
That was so epic.

Speaker 3 (01:20:39):
What happened there? Is that just part of the business?

Speaker 1 (01:20:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
I think. I think Ronda was like I'm leaving afterwards
and go Ham and.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
So many great moments in this match and then the aftermath.
As Becky noted, it was on the road the next day.
We got raw the next night and this Lacy Evans
comes out here with the pearls and the white gloves.
It attacks run on Raw the next night. Was that right?
She's like coming at ut I mean attacked Becky.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
Sorry, yeah, bro, yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:21:12):
And then in May Charlotte would take the SmackDown belt back.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
Yep, Becky Hill, thanks again to lay Evans.

Speaker 4 (01:21:20):
Isn't I'm not a big Lacey Evans guy. I don't know,
coming out of the woodwork all the time with these
cheap shots. Not for me, not for me, and the
persona not for me either.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
It wasn't for her either.

Speaker 4 (01:21:37):
Seeing that. Can I just derailised here with one question
that has been on my mind when I saw Lacey
Evans and talking to Becky was wrestled all around the world.
What is the most outrageous persona you've seen that just
still sticks with you. You're like, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
Uh in terms of in terms of like how many
others that you're.

Speaker 4 (01:21:58):
Even like a failed wrestler.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
You can't throw anyone under the bus.

Speaker 4 (01:22:04):
I ain't asking the name names, but yeah, you're just
on my mind.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
Oh, I don't know. I don't know that. I don't
know anything that comes to the top of my brain.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Who's your Mount Rushmore of wrestlers.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
That's tricky one. That's tricky one because there's different mount
Worschmoor's right, like, there's are you talking wrestler.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
Well, no, no, no, I'm saying in terms of like
what are you talking about? You talking about as a star,
as a wrestler, as an inn ring performer, as a
promo star. We're you talking overall overall? Then you go like,
affect to the business.

Speaker 1 (01:22:38):
I mean you got to be on there, sore?

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Would I'll put myself on there?

Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
Should?

Speaker 4 (01:22:43):
Yeah, fucking first one ever does what the man wants.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
Yeah, I'm also gonna I'm also gonna put my husband
on there.

Speaker 1 (01:22:49):
He's on there.

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
Of course that's right, and uh, let's put the johnsena
on there. I'm just never going to be able to
not call him the john Scene.

Speaker 1 (01:22:58):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
I love it. And then like, gosh, I don't know,
do you do you do you go in terms of
of of what they've done for the business and the attention,
Like I go, is the rock on there? Rock there?
Mc mcfoley is just a real life baby face under yeah,

(01:23:21):
you know, Andre the Giant.

Speaker 6 (01:23:23):
How about how about one name one wrestler who is
craft is just the best there is, maybe not be
the biggest heart, their craft is a wrestler.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
I mean, you could look at Brett Hart, you could
look at Eddie Guerrero, you know, Yeah, you can look
at Dean Malenko, so the great there's so many, many
many kurd angles. Great.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
What did this match do for women's professional wrestling?

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
I think it blasted through a glass seeing you know it.
It showed that we can be the headliners that we were.
We were going towards there anyway, but and we had
been there. I suppose for for a while that we
were no longer the side act, but now it was

(01:24:15):
that that we can be the the headliners. We can
be the headliners, we can be the main draws.

Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
That's amazing. And he left over questions Jackie.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
I think we got to it all. That was awesome
match to relive.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
We'll be right back after this quick break. Now what
do we what do we call this match? We got
the triple threat, we got Becky two belts, we got
the Man event, we got the man at the met Yeah,

(01:24:50):
score the game? Is this the greatest game of all time?
Let's score it stakes one to ten, ten being the
highest decimals. Okay, what are the stakes of this match?

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
Winner takes all? So let's let's let's say high stakes stakes.
I steaks tennis high high tennis the highest's okay ten.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
Ten star power ten?

Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
Oh sorry my my score.

Speaker 1 (01:25:18):
I'm gonna go nine five, big moment in history?

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
Well, what was what was missing?

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
What was what was what was thet There's no perfect
there's no perfect steak.

Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
Oh wow, there's no perfect three.

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
I had seven point two?

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
What's the steaks?

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
What's there's some deduction for.

Speaker 6 (01:25:35):
For some things you know, happen organically in the world
and it's competitive and something's their theater and but I think.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
But give, but we're yih. But we're talking people. We're
talking in this world. We're talking the stakes of this world.
We're not talking in the global world.

Speaker 3 (01:25:51):
I always talk in the global world, the sporting world.
This is against super Bowl, philosophical miracle on ice. There's
geopolitical things happening.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
If you don't still down over there.

Speaker 4 (01:26:02):
I want to stuff over here to throw Tyler through
the table.

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
I'll shoot that with you after this, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
Star power one to ten, ten, ten, Jules. I mean,
there's some pretty big star power you think about it.
We got Becky here, Becky Lynn, she was clearly crowd
favorite wrestle lean favorite at that time, Rick Flair's daughter.

Speaker 3 (01:26:30):
After this match, Rick, what was the word she said
that Rick Flair is now her dad.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Yeah, it was kind of it was kind of fucking
that's badass and Ronda Rousey. So I'm gonna go. I'm
gonna go with a nine point one.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
Nine point one.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
The deduction was for the other guys, right, yeah, yeah, Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:26:49):
I bring the bill down eight point nine and I
have an eight healed?

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
What's your deduction?

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
Getting picked on? I'm getting bullied right now. I feel
like I'm getting healed.

Speaker 3 (01:26:59):
Hey, there's gotta be a heel. There's gotta be a heel.
Every podcast needs a heal.

Speaker 1 (01:27:02):
I mean, geez. Gameplay of this, the match, how it went,
We'll give it a seven. Seven. Yeah, I thought it
was pretty good. We brought a table in, we had
that fucking back kick that you did. We're run arousing
and was fully concussed. And I can't believe she actually
tucked her neck good enough for it on the asphalt
was pretty tough. There's a couple of throws into the sidewalls,

(01:27:23):
flip off the top rope, off top ropes a couple
of times. The double sammy.

Speaker 4 (01:27:28):
For me.

Speaker 1 (01:27:28):
I'm gonna go eight one.

Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
I like the decimals. Can I get a decimal?

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
Point five, so it's two, that's two predictable. Point three.

Speaker 3 (01:27:39):
Yeah, Jack did eight point three. I did an eight
for gameplay.

Speaker 1 (01:27:43):
The name Becky two belts zero to ten. You got
to score the name the name name ten. Yeah, ten.
I mean it's pretty good. I'm gonna go with a nine.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
Jack has a six point seven, five point five.

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
You can't you can't bully me into you can't bully
me into this, Becky.

Speaker 4 (01:28:03):
I went too low.

Speaker 1 (01:28:05):
That's low.

Speaker 3 (01:28:06):
Cultural relevance. What still early? If you talked to me
in ten years when this match still.

Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
Matters, it is going to matter for the end of time.
The first time women ever remaine event to wrestleman. What
are you talking about? Six point talking about judge? People
think it was possible.

Speaker 6 (01:28:32):
We want I had a note I wanted to say
for steaks for stakes. Jack had an eight point three.
He also scored a Game seven of a Stanley Cup
final as a seven point nine.

Speaker 3 (01:28:43):
So just put it out there.

Speaker 4 (01:28:44):
Hey, I'm unpredictable, a bad boy.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
That's pretty good. Pretty good, that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
This is it's going to be real high on the scores.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Oh wow.

Speaker 6 (01:28:55):
So eight point four to four is just below the
eighteen to one Super Bowl Patriots Giants Patriots Giants, right
below that and right above the Bush Push Week six,
two thousand and five season USC versus Too.

Speaker 4 (01:29:07):
High, Too High.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
It's got a great fucking name. Yeah, so that's ahead
of some super Bowls.

Speaker 1 (01:29:12):
You're ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
That's ahead of us.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Regards here.

Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
That's even above the.

Speaker 6 (01:29:17):
Iron Man Match, the iron Man Match eight point zero
four Seawn Michael versus Brett Hart.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
Okay, that's that's up there.

Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
I mean, well, a lot of it is just really
like your own ego in terms of how how you score,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:29:31):
I'm not sure this.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
This isn't really an official ranking. It's me going ten ten, ten,
you know what I mean. If I'd made it, if
I'd made more tens for myself, I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:29:41):
Pretty sure this is actually you Guinness.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):

Speaker 4 (01:35:28):
Everybody love everybody to love fast.

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
Everybody love everyone, all right?

Speaker 4 (01:35:31):
Speaking of some love, we got another five star here
from Mick Jagger five to seven five six seven eight
nine three is the user name.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
But I got a one star from who's this one?

Speaker 3 (01:35:41):
Still get to that one?

Speaker 4 (01:35:42):
Yeah, this gut sucks, but we like our man Mick
Jagger five six seven eight nine three. His captain, Yo
yo yo. I know you're an ex Patriot, and the
Titans ended the Patriots dynasty, all right, but.

Speaker 1 (01:35:55):
Where is this one?

Speaker 3 (01:35:56):
But that no, that happened the interception Logan Ryan forgiving.

Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
It did.

Speaker 4 (01:36:02):
But when I think the end of the dynasty, I
don't think Titans.

Speaker 3 (01:36:04):
I know, but it was.

Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
I mean it kind of now it kind of was.

Speaker 4 (01:36:08):
Yeah whatever Mick Jagger. Either way, he says, could you
do the Music City Miracle? I agree with that sentiment
that would rock?

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
Yeah, music City Miracles? Awesome? Was that? What was that
white check?

Speaker 4 (01:36:21):
That waslay check?

Speaker 1 (01:36:23):
I love freaking dys McNair A McNair was Fisher, Eddie
George Eddie George George was so long and strong beasts
remember the Madden cover guy? It was.

Speaker 3 (01:36:42):
Was that one or two.

Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
I could have been there because I think that's when
the Patriots beat him, you know one maybe or was
it two thousand?

Speaker 4 (01:36:50):
Eddie George was one on the cover.

Speaker 6 (01:36:52):
That was a great because they went to this year
and lost to the Rams, which we did with Kurt Warner.
Ye also who played in this game, not really played controversially,
but Doug Flutie was backup quarterback for that game.

Speaker 1 (01:37:03):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (01:37:03):
Perhaps if he played, maybe they could have won.

Speaker 1 (01:37:06):
Yeah, they would have. It was Brad Johnson. Rob Johnson
brought exactly. See, we don't know that guy's name, but
we definitely know Doug Flutie's name.

Speaker 3 (01:37:15):
I never had any Rob Flakes.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
I've never seen Rob just randomly canoeing down a flooded
street in Massachusetts on local TV. How you guys doing network?

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
Have got the next one?

Speaker 4 (01:37:29):
All right? Coming up? We got SKay Jake Dill captioned
unlistenable voice a one star review, Julian Edelman proves a
point that everyone in their grandma just has to do
a podcast. This guy has a voice that is one
hundred percent unlistenable. Please stop with your podcast promotions of

(01:37:49):
no less than twenty per hour on iHeartRadio. As those
two contain your unlistenable voice?

Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
What does twenty per hour mean?

Speaker 4 (01:37:57):
I guess the good news here is iHeart Radio is
promoting the show our buddies that we love is promoting
the heck out of the show across all their other shows,
which is great news.

Speaker 3 (01:38:06):
There's some creative feedback in this one.

Speaker 1 (01:38:08):
Yeah, you know, we take them all. You know, he
take ones on the chin, you take ones on the butt.
All he didn't really make sense.

Speaker 4 (01:38:19):
You're doing good.

Speaker 1 (01:38:20):
You take one of the chick.

Speaker 4 (01:38:21):
It really sounded good.

Speaker 1 (01:38:24):
You'll probably not like that one rise prophetic, very nice.
I will see. His name is unlistenable voice. What's his name?

Speaker 4 (01:38:33):
His name is Jake del He ain't no love.

Speaker 1 (01:38:38):
He Jake from the Dell commercials. Dude, you're getting all.

Speaker 4 (01:38:43):
I will say, though, if he's all about this unlistenable
voice talk, you don't know. We do voices.

Speaker 3 (01:38:48):
We do man.

Speaker 4 (01:38:53):
Still, I'm coming for you, brother, Coffee in the big time.

Speaker 1 (01:38:58):
What you're gonna put in that coffee? There?

Speaker 4 (01:39:00):
Jerky about some cream because the cream always rises to
the top. Yes to the tippity tippity to All right,
moving on, guys, we got another one.

Speaker 3 (01:39:16):
So constructive criticism.

Speaker 6 (01:39:19):
Welcome. One stars not welcome. If you want to light
jewels up, give a five stars. Say whatever you want,
we'll read it all right.

Speaker 4 (01:39:25):
Well we used to these last two here from A D.
Stewart a five star. We like that, with a caption
bring back Joe List, Bring back Joe List as guest host.
The man is a sports savant and hilarious. He should
be your permanent co host for the show. Good to
know that D. Stewart is Joe List's pen name. I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:39:43):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:39:47):
Thanks for the review, Joe, I love it. I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:39:50):
I gotta get him back on LA. Last, but certainly
not least, Jesse Cam Underscore Are and the best podcast
you aren't listening to yet a five star review. Famed
former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is joined by Jack,
his fact checking producer, and calm cool cerebral.

Speaker 8 (01:40:10):
Who keeps them all in line in this surprisingly witty
and entertaining podcast that will make a sports fan out
of anyone we want.

Speaker 4 (01:40:23):
In their quest to find the greatest game of all time,
Julian hosts a range of guests from comedians, sportscasters to
former athletes, all there to lobby for their game to
pick to be voted as the greatest game of all time.
They know lobbying going on. Well, maybe Mark Cuban was
some tense. Julian is charming and affable, surprisingly humble and

(01:40:43):
self deprecating at times, all while getting his guests to
open up and reveal insights into these games and their
personal lives at the time. The show does have a
recency bias in terms of the game selection. I would
like to see some older games reviewed, but I understand
that some of those players, coaches, and fans may no
longer be available. But maybe an episode dedicated to some

(01:41:05):
of the greatest games of the fifties sixties in some
sort of condensed way would be a cool listen love listening.

Speaker 1 (01:41:13):
Keep it up? Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:41:15):
Wow, what a review?

Speaker 1 (01:41:16):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (01:41:17):
No two hundred and forty characters here, Baby, let it fly,
Let it fly?

Speaker 1 (01:41:21):
How about I think.

Speaker 6 (01:41:23):
That's the first time I've ever been called calm, cool
or cerebral.

Speaker 1 (01:41:26):
Kyler You kyler Kyler. Jack and I are both not
impressed with these multi syllable words that use in this
email that you broy mean. Yeah, okay, we're not impressed
with this email that you wrote about the podcast Kyler.

Speaker 3 (01:41:42):
But Julian, you're so charming and affable and surprisingly humble.

Speaker 1 (01:41:46):
I can fully, I can fully see you doing Thatyler.
We gotta get up that v crack to see who
wrote this. Matt Light will find out because it's probably
Matt Light or something I know and it's searching. I
think Matt Light wrote this email. Man, Well, what a match.
That was such a fun episode. Thanks again to Becky.

Speaker 4 (01:42:09):
Go pick up Becky Lynch, the man, not your average
average girl wherever books are sold, wherever books are sold,
The Man by Becky Lynch.

Speaker 3 (01:42:19):
She really was the man too. She was as advertised.

Speaker 4 (01:42:23):
I'm a stand man lover.

Speaker 1 (01:42:24):
She was awesome. That's been another episode of Games with Names.
