- 00:05
- 14 2008 we're here to talk about the
- 00:08
- Elite XC show some news and wrestling
- 00:10
- got a bunch of questions from those of
- 00:11
- you on the board a lot of them actually
- 00:13
- about the first back issue of The
- 00:15
- Observer that you posted the other night
- 00:17
- you know I know I just sent you the
- 00:19
- first one that I said I did I had no
- 00:21
- idea was that issue well what an issue
- 00:22
- was to send oh yeah really my god I mean
- 00:25
- that's actually one of my more favorite
- 00:26
- not favorite it's actually one of my
- 00:28
- least favorite issues but it was
- 00:29
- actually one of the more famous issues
- 00:31
- that they ever did yeah I got a lot of
- 00:33
- feedback I mean everybody was raving
- 00:35
- about the issue and I actually got some
- 00:36
- people that said that they had never
- 00:38
- read The Observer before and that back
- 00:40
- issue was the first one they ever read
- 00:41
- and then they thought why did I never
- 00:43
- read this before so it was a hell of a
- 00:46
- first issue to put up there in the
- 00:47
- archive so yeah I had no that was the
- 00:50
- first one that I have on computer yeah
- 00:52
- well well yeah we'll talk about that one
- 00:53
- in a little ball but I wanted to talk
- 00:54
- about Elite XC first since it just ended
- 00:56
- and what a MMA and pro wrestling program
- 01:01
- that was a we just saw I mean normal
- 01:04
- show until that thing at the end and
- 01:06
- that thing at the end was so what like
- 01:09
- it was so good or so bad depending on
- 01:12
- your point of view yes but I mean to be
- 01:14
- you know it's funny I called up a friend
- 01:15
- of mine as soon as it was over and I
- 01:18
- said you know what and I just saw
- 01:21
- exactly what the WB was missing I mean
- 01:25
- it was that spontaneity timing
- 01:28
- believability in an angle it's like they
- 01:32
- did an angle that made you want to see a
- 01:33
- match oh yeah
- 01:34
- and I mean it was awesome actually you
- 01:37
- know awesome now I mean a lot of people
- 01:39
- hated it because they don't want to see
- 01:40
- pro wrestling and elite exceed but you
- 01:42
- know why would a lot of people to
- 01:43
- understand and again and you know I mean
- 01:47
- I really thought in some reactions
- 01:49
- tonight okay Elite XP is not UFC okay
- 01:53
- now all of these companies you gotta
- 01:55
- understand this any company that's gonna
- 01:57
- go national against UFC okay they're
- 01:59
- going to get killed they're gonna lose
- 02:00
- their ass and they're gonna die okay no
- 02:03
- I don't know how to make that more clear
- 02:04
- okay they can you can survive on a
- 02:06
- regional basis but if you go
- 02:07
- head-to-head with UFC you are going to
- 02:09
- die okay now it's a given all right
- 02:12
- however
- 02:13
- you may have a chance if you do
- 02:15
- something different from UFC whether
- 02:18
- that's women's rights whether that
- 02:19
- staged angles and this was half staged
- 02:21
- in half not staged I mean it was soon
- 02:22
- they sent him in the ring I don't I mean
- 02:24
- obviously sent him in to do an angle but
- 02:25
- in what Karl Newton's didn't all that
- 02:28
- that wasn't staged but but you know
- 02:30
- sending him in there and having the
- 02:31
- confrontation to end the show obviously
- 02:32
- that was planned now the whole point of
- 02:35
- it is is that that built anticipation
- 02:37
- for a match that otherwise you know
- 02:39
- there wouldn't be that much anticipation
- 02:41
- and when you're thirty million dollars
- 02:42
- in the hole like click delete XE is
- 02:44
- you've got to do something you couldn't
- 02:46
- do anything okay and people are saying
- 02:49
- oh they should be more sportsmen like
- 02:51
- and this and this and this what they
- 02:52
- will go out of business and that is not
- 02:56
- understand about this industry everybody
- 02:58
- loses money if they go national and you
- 03:00
- know even with television because
- 03:02
- television is not paying them unless you
- 03:03
- got pay-per-view and until you know when
- 03:06
- these companies can do a hundred
- 03:07
- thousand buys on pay-per-view with a
- 03:10
- match like jiraiya Faber and Jen's
- 03:12
- Pulver okay where the two guys going in
- 03:15
- there and they just go oh I'm so happy
- 03:16
- to be here and I'm not knocking this
- 03:17
- okay because it was all that was awesome
- 03:19
- and I loved seeing it you know two guys
- 03:21
- in there I love you know we're the
- 03:22
- number one and number you know number
- 03:24
- one contender and champion and I respect
- 03:26
- you and I respect you and then go out
- 03:27
- there and have a great fight and and you
- 03:31
- know you know I mean if you do that and
- 03:32
- you can do a hundred thousand buys or
- 03:33
- whatever you need to break even and
- 03:35
- that's wonderful and do it but if you
- 03:37
- can't you got to figure out a way to
- 03:38
- make money so anyway the two things that
- 03:41
- I thought watching this were we're
- 03:43
- number one as far as people that were
- 03:44
- unhappy about it the pro wrestling style
- 03:47
- stuff is really what made the CBS show a
- 03:51
- success I mean it was another character
- 03:54
- in the media girls and the ring
- 03:56
- entrances and the pyro is what made it
- 03:58
- seem like it was a major league show
- 04:00
- instead of some boring box and show
- 04:02
- there's a reason boxing hasn't been on
- 04:04
- network TV in all these years and these
- 04:06
- people want to go back to boxing boxing
- 04:08
- is yesterday's news you've got to go to
- 04:09
- something new that's like saying you
- 04:11
- know as much as I love 1970s Pro
- 04:13
- Wrestling which I actually saw tonight I
- 04:15
- know that if you put nineteen seventy's
- 04:18
- pro wrestling on television today it
- 04:20
- would be nineteen seventies Pro
- 04:21
- Wrestling and it wouldn't work you've
- 04:23
- got to go with something that's going to
- 04:24
- work and it's going to draw the masses
- 04:26
- when you're on network television
- 04:27
- and again and when you're trying to draw
- 04:29
- people you know if again if somebody
- 04:32
- could come in there I mean you know we
- 04:34
- know this from Pro Wrestling because of
- 04:35
- you know Ring of Honor and things like
- 04:36
- that you know the limitations of just
- 04:38
- you know the internet vans there's a
- 04:40
- limitations and you know you if you can
- 04:42
- make some money and if you and the guy
- 04:44
- you know don't pay the guys a lot in all
- 04:45
- this and stay in business that's awesome
- 04:47
- and I love Ring of Honor it's you know
- 04:48
- it's it's fun to watch it's great but
- 04:51
- you know I mean to make for the guys to
- 04:55
- make money for the thing to work on that
- 04:57
- again on a national basis and even with
- 05:00
- television I mean the IFL had television
- 05:02
- they wanted to be all sportsmen like
- 05:04
- they wanted to have their ring they
- 05:05
- wanted to look like boxing they died
- 05:07
- okay they didn't die because you know
- 05:11
- you know I mean it the teams weren't a
- 05:13
- great idea but that's not you know and
- 05:15
- that's part of the reason they died but
- 05:16
- you know what even if they didn't they
- 05:17
- still you know I mean you didn't do a
- 05:19
- team adjusted individuals and all that
- 05:22
- because they still were going to die
- 05:24
- yeah
- 05:25
- anyway I was in was the IFL model in
- 05:28
- some ways is what a lot of people want
- 05:30
- out of their fighting but no one I mean
- 05:33
- the masses don't want it that's the
- 05:35
- whole key drawn to something they can't
- 05:41
- explain why they just are you know I
- 05:44
- mean I learned is this guys fighting in
- 05:46
- team MMA is not in yeah but I mean I
- 05:48
- learned this lesson a long time ago when
- 05:51
- you know when Ric Flair and Ricky
- 05:53
- Steamboat were going against WWE and I
- 05:56
- mean they were putting on the greatest
- 05:57
- matches than anyone had ever seen and I
- 05:59
- mean they had national TV and they were
- 06:00
- great personalities - I mean steamboats
- 06:02
- not a great personality but but you know
- 06:04
- I mean he was he was he was a superstar
- 06:06
- for years and years I mean established
- 06:08
- star Ric Flair into great personalities
- 06:09
- of all time and the lure of seeing the
- 06:12
- greatest match you will ever see live
- 06:14
- was not a particularly big draw and
- 06:17
- think about this is Ric Flair doing the
- 06:18
- promos too so it's not like it's some
- 06:19
- slouch doing the promos but the other
- 06:21
- side was you know they had the lights
- 06:25
- and the glitz and the descend the hall
- 06:26
- and the Hulk Hogan and all that and they
- 06:28
- kicked ass business-wise and and that's
- 06:31
- a lesson that you know you got to learn
- 06:33
- in an MMA it's the same thing they want
- 06:35
- a lot of people want MMA to be exactly
- 06:38
- what will fail for sure
- 06:41
- MMA now I'm not saying that the other
- 06:42
- way will succeed but I can tell you that
- 06:44
- the other way will fail you actually had
- 06:46
- a funny line in The Observer about Josh
- 06:49
- gross when you the line about Josh gross
- 06:50
- is my friend but if you were in charge
- 06:51
- of alley taxi they would lose millions
- 06:53
- and millions of dollars anyway yeah but
- 06:57
- no no I mean I was reading Josh gross
- 06:59
- and when he said the Sherman what it was
- 07:03
- it was like we go oh cause he's mad
- 07:04
- about the musing Kimbo in the main event
- 07:05
- he said and then like you know the match
- 07:07
- itself was proof of how wrong they were
- 07:09
- used Kimbo in the main event it's like
- 07:10
- no the rating was proof of how right
- 07:12
- they were because I'll tell you what
- 07:14
- when they would you know and of course
- 07:15
- they Memphis tonight the July show guys
- 07:18
- what no byes do I show you know and you
- 07:21
- know what the July show I mean again
- 07:23
- they may they may put on a really good
- 07:25
- show and Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith
- 07:27
- was a very good fight before it support
- 07:29
- sport finished and it'll probably be
- 07:32
- it's good a fight again maybe better the
- 07:36
- second time but Robbie Lawler and Scott
- 07:38
- Smith are not going to do a 3.0 rating I
- 07:41
- mean if they do a 1.9 rating I would say
- 07:43
- that that's about what I figure it's
- 07:45
- going to turn up if they do better than
- 07:46
- a 1.9 I think that everybody should
- 07:48
- celebrate cuz it's you know and you know
- 07:50
- now that was no watch I'll go do it
- 07:52
- three and then I'll look like a fool but
- 07:53
- they're not going to do it three they're
- 07:55
- not going to do it without you know
- 07:56
- would just fight you know with they're
- 07:58
- gonna have the two people that you know
- 08:00
- those people are gonna complain about
- 08:01
- not being you know about you know being
- 08:04
- the big stars pushed in the first show
- 08:05
- junior chrono and Kimbo neither will be
- 08:09
- on the July show and you know it'll tell
- 08:12
- you know I mean it's not you know I mean
- 08:15
- it's not anything I mean I'll tell you
- 08:17
- what I mean I give you an example and
- 08:18
- something else you know is um it's David
- 08:21
- Beckham I mean David Beckham is is long
- 08:25
- past his peak as a soccer player you
- 08:27
- know I mean he was one of the best
- 08:28
- players in the world but I was just
- 08:31
- reading something today that when David
- 08:32
- Beckham is in a soccer game on TV
- 08:36
- the audience is two and a half times
- 08:39
- larger than if he's not on TV okay so
- 08:43
- you know he and he's getting paid
- 08:45
- millions and millions and millions but I
- 08:46
- mean is he the best player in the world
- 08:48
- you know you know he's not he's no not
- 08:50
- even close anymore
- 08:51
- but it's like
- 08:53
- the biggest draw and and the people will
- 08:56
- watch the biggest draw they're not you
- 08:58
- know the biggest star or whatever it is
- 09:00
- you know because of you know whether
- 09:01
- it's because of his you know you know
- 09:04
- his girlfriend being the model or the
- 09:06
- you know the spice girl or whatever and
- 09:07
- you know I mean it's it's that whole
- 09:10
- package of being the big celebrity you
- 09:11
- know it's like Tito Ortiz with jenna
- 09:13
- jameson you know it's like it makes him
- 09:16
- a celebrity you got in Sports
- 09:17
- Illustrated this week because of you
- 09:19
- know more because of jenna jameson than
- 09:21
- beam great fighter and you know Tito he
- 09:23
- who hasn't been a great fighter in years
- 09:24
- but you got in Sports Illustrated this
- 09:26
- week the other thing that I got out of
- 09:28
- this show the other lesson that I
- 09:29
- learned was we have talked many times
- 09:31
- about the advantages that Pro Wrestling
- 09:33
- should have over MMA and tonight was the
- 09:36
- most perfect example because when this
- 09:38
- show was over I sat there and thought
- 09:41
- Carl and KJ Noons against the Diaz
- 09:44
- brothers is it not the biggest possible
- 09:47
- fight that you could possibly do for
- 09:49
- this company right now that would kill
- 09:51
- the Scott Smith fight but you can't do
- 09:53
- it it was such a company but oh those
- 09:59
- guys when they were walking off that's
- 10:01
- he Brian that because of the best heels
- 10:03
- I've ever seen tonight Oh Brian that was
- 10:05
- the stuff that you miss growing up I
- 10:07
- mean this debt they did this was just
- 10:09
- they did this stuff every week in the
- 10:11
- old days but I haven't seen it in so
- 10:13
- long I'm watching them going like this
- 10:15
- is what Pro Wrestling is missing his
- 10:17
- believable heels that the fans actually
- 10:19
- hate him and you know I mean it's been
- 10:21
- heroes and heroes and I mean and real
- 10:24
- and and what appears to be real emotion
- 10:26
- yeah I mean it was real emotion but I
- 10:29
- mean the point is is it good pro
- 10:31
- wrestler should be able to fake that
- 10:33
- real emotion and make it look just that
- 10:35
- good but they're put in like it with TNA
- 10:38
- the whole backdrop of everything that
- 10:40
- they do makes it impossible to have real
- 10:43
- emotion because the whole thing is being
- 10:44
- done tongue-in-cheek from the star sure
- 10:46
- with all that all the garbage that they
- 10:48
- do and with Deborah w/e you know it's
- 10:50
- largely the same thing because so much
- 10:51
- of it is so staged and so phony that
- 10:54
- even when you have something with real
- 10:56
- emotion a lot of the time it doesn't
- 10:58
- quit as far as getting your buys is when
- 11:01
- it should and a lot of times it just
- 11:03
- doesn't click you know it's it's just
- 11:05
- not real enough
- 11:07
- watching TNA because sometimes the idea
- 11:09
- is if everybody yells we're supposed to
- 11:12
- care and I watched that thing tonight
- 11:14
- and and all all Nate Diaz had to do was
- 11:18
- stand behind his brother and do a bunch
- 11:20
- of hand signals toward the ring after
- 11:22
- almost causing a near riot and right
- 11:24
- there he was you know him and his
- 11:26
- brother the two biggest heels you could
- 11:27
- possibly imagine and that's going to be
- 11:29
- a big fight when it finally comes around
- 11:31
- and exactly I'm heading to Stockton to
- 11:40
- watch and watch the riot when the
- 11:42
- Hawaiians come to Stockton no I actually
- 11:44
- wanted I want that fight to take place
- 11:45
- in Hawaii
- 11:46
- so I have an excuse to go to Hawaii
- 11:47
- because I'd rather see Nick I think Nick
- 11:49
- Diaz is way better as a heel than it's a
- 11:52
- baby face so I thought I had the flu
- 11:53
- Nick Diaz in Hawaii against KJ Noons
- 11:56
- that with the brother and the father in
- 11:59
- the corner that right there can we can
- 12:03
- they be strapped together do you think
- 12:05
- commission would allow that something of
- 12:07
- that nature god that was awesome so yeah
- 12:11
- everybody that missed it we've been
- 12:12
- talking for 15 minutes never even
- 12:13
- mentioned it KJ Noons beat Eve ever even
- 12:16
- worse 48 seconds knocked American
- 12:19
- destroyed him he put him on queer Street
- 12:21
- according to Steven cuadros so I think
- 12:23
- he's good
- 12:24
- he's gonna be in some trouble for that
- 12:25
- one perhaps but yeah he destroyed him
- 12:28
- and Wow
- 12:29
- well now now I want to ask you your take
- 12:32
- on that because you know he beat Eve
- 12:34
- Edwards in 48 seconds but when something
- 12:37
- like that happens I mean to you does
- 12:39
- that kind of does it really raise KJ
- 12:41
- stock in your eyes or is it more like
- 12:43
- well you know that was 48 seconds and it
- 12:45
- would have been better to see how he did
- 12:46
- in a 3 rounder for example well you know
- 12:50
- what Kate you know I mean he's Edwards
- 12:51
- even though he's lost a lot of fights I
- 12:53
- mean he's still a quality fighter it
- 12:54
- doesn't it helps KJ Noons yeah you know
- 12:57
- cuz KJ Noons still doesn't have full
- 12:58
- respect and I don't know that you know
- 13:01
- this one you know people will just kind
- 13:02
- of look at it like you know he caught
- 13:04
- the guy and once he caught the guy the
- 13:05
- one thing he was very good at was that
- 13:07
- he was very aggressive it he was great
- 13:09
- at finishing him once he caught him but
- 13:11
- you know you know anyone can get caught
- 13:12
- with a small gloves and everything like
- 13:14
- that you know I mean he got he got
- 13:15
- rocked
- 13:15
- you know the second before he caught Eve
- 13:18
- yeah so
- 13:20
- I mean I you know where as far as like
- 13:22
- you know where KJ Noons stands as a top
- 13:24
- level fighter you know you know he
- 13:27
- didn't prove anything you know as far as
- 13:29
- like what level he's at but you know he
- 13:32
- won the fight and he's his
- 13:33
- ground-and-pound was very was very
- 13:35
- strong that now and that was impressive
- 13:36
- and then the big angle afterwards was
- 13:38
- Nick Diaz hitting the ring and
- 13:40
- challenging KJ to a title match and they
- 13:43
- ended up having a big pull apart that
- 13:45
- involved the father of KJ that's Carl
- 13:48
- noone former kickboxer yes and no
- 13:52
- Goldberg was involved and I thought I
- 13:54
- thought he was gonna spear somebody and
- 13:55
- I know I did Jeremy laughing there I saw
- 13:58
- a whole bunch of security guards
- 14:01
- throwing punches in from from the cage I
- 14:04
- knew inside in a meddlesome and the Diaz
- 14:06
- brothers running out of that cage and
- 14:08
- flipping off the fan they did they
- 14:09
- bailed like just the greatest heels and
- 14:12
- flipped everybody right in that aisle

- 15:04
- link of it ends up on any of the
- 15:05
- youtubes or whatever so yeah and then
- 15:07
- the Nick Diaz versus Lucian Corbray
- 15:11
- fight was this was the fight where Diaz
- 15:14
- came in eight pounds home for his
- 15:16
- contracted weight
- 15:18
- he looked gigantic in there with this
- 15:20
- poor guy gigantic next to a Nunes and
- 15:22
- they're in the base office after the
- 15:24
- fight - yes he did and by the way Brian
- 15:26
- did you hear his excuse
- 15:28
- Diaz's excuse yeah wasn't that the one
- 15:30
- about he wasn't sure what wait to find
- 15:31
- out no no that's not
- 15:33
- true no man actually the actual excuse
- 15:35
- was was much better than that he went
- 15:39
- swimming in the ocean it's already great
- 15:42
- and he swallowed salt water so that
- 15:46
- retained water and he wasn't able to
- 15:48
- sweat his weight down so he's just
- 15:50
- swimming and just swallowing copious
- 15:51
- amounts of salt water and he didn't
- 15:53
- drown or anything I don't have an answer
- 15:55
- but that's the most ridiculous thing
- 15:56
- I've ever heard
- 15:57
- I like the excuse about he didn't know
- 15:58
- what weight I believe that one before
- 16:00
- the sea water no there's no chance
- 16:02
- there's no chance because number one
- 16:03
- he's he's broad in that way class before
- 16:05
- number two everyone knew and everyone
- 16:07
- knew was for a title shot so that it was
- 16:09
- and and and even if he didn't know
- 16:10
- everyone in this team would have known
- 16:12
- there's no there's no one there's not
- 16:14
- even one percent chance he didn't know
- 16:16
- what weight he was supposed to fight now
- 16:17
- how do you give this geek a title shot
- 16:18
- after missing weight by eight pounds
- 16:20
- yeah I know it wasn't like it was three
- 16:22
- pounds or something like that I mean
- 16:23
- well because you'll sell tickets but you
- 16:26
- know I I tell you what like to me him
- 16:28
- winning this fight I'm over core break
- 16:30
- meant nothing to me because he was so
- 16:32
- much bigger and that's played a big if
- 16:34
- you watch the fight that played a big
- 16:35
- part in the fight now incorporate was
- 16:37
- not big enough to hurt him when he when
- 16:39
- he when he rocked him on punches and you
- 16:41
- know what he caught on some punches
- 16:42
- although you know Diaz he has won all
- 16:44
- three rounds and then finished him in
- 16:45
- the third
- 16:46
- now now Corbray claimed that he was 158
- 16:49
- and once he found out the Diaz wasn't
- 16:52
- making weight he ate he weighed in with
- 16:54
- the stuff in his pockets and ended up
- 16:56
- being whatever didn't matter but anyway
- 16:59
- if he was 158 and Diaz was 168 you're
- 17:03
- talking 10 pounds 149 find 169 before he
- 17:07
- even probably ate after that so that's a
- 17:10
- that was a giant weight difference in
- 17:11
- that fight yeah well you figure he's 169
- 17:14
- you know he's probably no less than 180
- 17:19
- in there he was probably no less than
- 17:21
- 180 in the ring and the other guys
- 17:23
- probably well he ate and weighed in and
- 17:26
- was only 163 so probably wasn't a much
- 17:28
- heavier man he might have been he might
- 17:30
- have been up to around 165 167 and I
- 17:34
- wouldn't be surprised if Diaz was up was
- 17:35
- even more than that you know more than
- 17:37
- 180 he looks pretty big in this it was
- 17:38
- like a giant yeah I mean I met Nick Diaz
- 17:40
- and he's uh you know he's 190 pound guy
- 17:43
- yeah we saw
- 17:44
- in Vegas and he was I was shocked by how
- 17:47
- big he was
- 17:48
- yeah so he took him down in the third
- 17:50
- around side control tried to calm her a
- 17:52
- straight armbar and then finally pinned
- 17:54
- him against the fence mounted him a
- 17:56
- couple more shots for the TKO so he beat
- 17:59
- the guy no doubt about it but he did he
- 18:01
- was very very heavy then we had the the
- 18:05
- Marilla who a fight against Tony Bonello
- 18:09
- which I thought was awesome because
- 18:11
- Bonello decided he was going to cut a
- 18:12
- promo on him during the staredown in the
- 18:15
- guard ass handed to him and then put
- 18:21
- himself in the position that he got
- 18:23
- killed it yes so totally one side
- 18:25
- fighting and well you know me banila
- 18:27
- came in unbeaten but you know obviously
- 18:29
- you know ninja'd fought a lot tougher
- 18:32
- guys you know and in the Iran Waterman
- 18:35
- Dave Herman match Ron Waterman of course
- 18:37
- formerly under w/e developmental
- 18:39
- contract Sam Russell I've once actually
- 18:42
- in in Seattle and he's pretty good and
- 18:45
- wasn't tonight he got destroyed that's
- 18:52
- that's I I did not expect the Karate Kid
- 18:54
- jumping crane kick but actually hit him
- 18:56
- in the eye
- 18:57
- oh yeah ruin design yeah it's like he
- 19:00
- only caught him with the toe if he'd
- 19:01
- caught him with a with the instep not
- 19:03
- his head off yeah Soniya that herrmann
- 19:06
- herrmann may face some on Antonio Silva
- 19:08
- on the July show at these don't in any
- 19:11
- way Tyler they have to a title that's
- 19:13
- possible it's one of the guys in fact I
- 19:15
- would almost say if I was a betting man
- 19:18
- he would be the favorite to be the guy
- 19:20
- in that fight and then we add the
- 19:22
- Rafael's jo against the Hale Mihal I
- 19:27
- should know that is a Mexican against
- 19:28
- Wayne Cole yeah he couldn't strike with
- 19:33
- him all I could do is defend himself in
- 19:35
- a winkles tough guy but you know but hey
- 19:38
- also the hail late they to say they say
- 19:41
- as a contender and I guess we'll see
- 19:42
- because you know you know I think I
- 19:45
- think that um when they do their light
- 19:46
- heavyweight championship the hail will
- 19:48
- be one of the guys in that fight most
- 19:50
- likely we surprised by all the shots of
- 19:52
- Anderson Silva on this show no not at
- 19:54
- all
- 19:55
- I was expecting it these being in
- 19:57
- trouble for that
- 19:59
- you can't I mean it's just different you
- 20:02
- know yeah unless you know UFC starts
- 20:06
- changing the contracts which if I was
- 20:08
- them I actually would but you know
- 20:10
- they'll they would you imagine like how
- 20:12
- crazy people would go if they did that
- 20:15
- laughter tonight okay you cannot appear
- 20:17
- on on arrival you cannot appear on
- 20:19
- arrivals TV show and you know they can't
- 20:21
- show you on camera because you're our
- 20:22
- contracted guy I mean you know but
- 20:26
- anyway yeah I mean it's one of those
- 20:30
- things where I figured if he's there
- 20:32
- they're gonna really blow it up because
- 20:34
- they're all clinging to UFC and you know
- 20:36
- what I'm saying it's almost like it's
- 20:38
- the teen awwe thing you know where they
- 20:40
- try to use the other you know like you
- 20:42
- know use the other group and in a sense
- 20:44
- it makes you minor-league doing it but
- 20:46
- when you feel when you think yourself
- 20:48
- your minor-league and that's your only
- 20:51
- you know that's your only credibility
- 20:52
- then and that's what you do let's talk
- 20:55
- to you very quickly about that News
- 20:57
- interview post we've got a lot of
- 20:58
- questions on it a lot of people I mean
- 21:00
- the newsletter got posted but a lot of
- 21:02
- people wanted to know more of the story
- 21:04
- that led up to it I mean you talked a
- 21:06
- little bit about the Hogan uso story but
- 21:09
- you know it's sort of picked off and and
- 21:12
- we probably aren't going to get the the
- 21:13
- previous issue for quite a while I would
- 21:15
- guess yeah so well so what would led up
- 21:18
- to it I don't even remember years ago I
- 21:24
- mean I just remember that I guess this
- 21:30
- was this would have been with the the
- 21:31
- Persian Gulf War thing right yeah yeah
- 21:34
- so so so so bintz was exploiting the
- 21:36
- Persian Gulf War and I think I wrote a
- 21:41
- story in the National I was writing for
- 21:43
- the national the time that Vince was
- 21:46
- exploiting the Persian Gulf War which
- 21:47
- was obviously he was and business people
- 21:49
- just went crazy on me for insinuating
- 21:52
- you know that they would do such a thing
- 21:53
- that they were doing and also was by
- 21:56
- saying that it was controversial because
- 21:57
- a lot of people in the company were very
- 21:58
- negative about I mean you can see
- 22:00
- healing books have come out a lot of
- 22:01
- people you know we're very negative
- 22:03
- about that that Vince was all gung-ho on
- 22:05
- it and you know so I mean I think that's
- 22:10
- what led up to it and so they
- 22:12
- you know WV tried to get me fired from
- 22:14
- the National you know which actually
- 22:16
- they had been trying to do from from day
- 22:18
- one but but they saw this as their big
- 22:20
- chance to get me fired you know because
- 22:23
- I was critical of them for that and you
- 22:26
- know it ended up being a big brouhaha
- 22:27
- you know where you know they ended up
- 22:31
- you know everyone ended up hating each
- 22:33
- other and you know it's kind of like
- 22:36
- what happened in you know now with the
- 22:40
- you had a lot of letters back and forth
- 22:43
- that you printed that issue from from
- 22:45
- double w/e and and letters that you
- 22:47
- written to Vince McMahon and such and
- 22:48
- one of the the big stories that you were
- 22:51
- or one of the big I guess angles you can
- 22:54
- almost say an angle in that particular
- 22:56
- newsletter was the story that that the
- 22:58
- national was going to do about Vince
- 23:00
- McMahon and you were not assigned the
- 23:03
- story and you wrote the Frank Deford and
- 23:06
- and I was kind of mad about it but at
- 23:08
- the end it ended up being the smart
- 23:09
- thing because it as it turned out he the
- 23:11
- guy who did the story like you know
- 23:13
- ripped them more than I would so you
- 23:16
- know it was like they they were like you
- 23:18
- know they were so adamant you know
- 23:21
- double w/e like you know that they
- 23:23
- didn't they didn't want me you know
- 23:25
- Vince women Sloot Vince would talk to
- 23:26
- them but he wouldn't talk to me so he
- 23:28
- hired so he said someone else to do the
- 23:30
- story and the guy just rip Vince worse
- 23:31
- than I ever would have anyway so so
- 23:33
- ultimately the story was written by you
- 23:34
- know guy yeah it was a very negative
- 23:36
- story on them and I helped on the story
- 23:38
- anyway I mean I hope a protege anyway I
- 23:40
- just didn't talk to Vince you know who
- 23:42
- ended up talking to me later anyway you
- 23:44
- know I mean it was it sicilius thing in
- 23:45
- the world you know I mean but at the
- 23:48
- time you know he you know he wasn't
- 23:49
- gonna talk to me because you know I had
- 23:52
- the audacity to say he was exploiting
- 23:53
- the Gulf War which you know obviously
- 23:55
- you know I mean their whole thing from
- 23:56
- day one was to do that they just didn't
- 23:58
- know that a war was gonna start and see
- 23:59
- the war a war started like three days
- 24:02
- before they shot their angle and you
- 24:05
- know is one of those things where you
- 24:06
- know everyone goes you know oh my god I
- 24:08
- mean you know it's funny because you
- 24:09
- know Dylan's in that story and Dylan and
- 24:11
- I were talking all the time and you know
- 24:14
- which was not anything covert or
- 24:16
- anything because you know John was
- 24:18
- assigned by Vince McMahon to talk to me
- 24:19
- which everyone knew so anyway so the
- 24:21
- point is is you know Dylan and I like
- 24:23
- just a couple I think it was like the
- 24:25
- day before
- 24:25
- war was about to start and I knew what
- 24:27
- the angle was going to be in what they
- 24:28
- were doing for mania we knew it was
- 24:30
- Hogan and slaughtering everything and we
- 24:32
- were talking like the day before the
- 24:33
- thing started we knew the work that
- 24:34
- there was a very good chance the war
- 24:35
- we're starting that week we go oh my god
- 24:37
- you know this this war may start if this
- 24:39
- war starts this angle is gonna just look
- 24:41
- like crap and I mean he completely
- 24:43
- agreed with me you know I mean it's like
- 24:45
- oh yeah you know in this book he said
- 24:46
- the same thing he said he agreed with me
- 24:47
- on it
- 24:48
- but he always Vince another thing where
- 24:50
- Vince is like I'm not a you know I'm not
- 24:52
- gonna let this war interfere with my
- 24:54
- angle so he went and he just you know
- 24:57
- and gung-ho on it and then I remember
- 25:00
- and part of the thing they had they had
- 25:03
- said because I had mentioned you know
- 25:05
- they stated then they sent Hogan to a
- 25:07
- bunch of bases to shoot footage for
- 25:09
- television you know and then they said
- 25:10
- that you know and I wrote like you know
- 25:12
- they sent Hogan to a bunch of basis you
- 25:14
- know to shoot footage for television to
- 25:16
- exploit the war some more and then they
- 25:18
- wrote we will never use that footage and
- 25:20
- they ended up using that footage not
- 25:21
- just every week on the TV show but it
- 25:24
- became the open of the show itself
- 25:27
- anyway I even remember that yeah so
- 25:30
- anyway so that was that was some very
- 25:31
- amusing situation anyway if you remember
- 25:34
- all that was I don't remember from if it
- 25:37
- had happened yet but if it is if it did
- 25:39
- it'll be in you know some subsequent
- 25:40
- issues alright about was when you know
- 25:43
- they had to move the show from the
- 25:44
- Coliseum to the bomb threats because of
- 25:47
- the bomb threat yeah yeah anger they had
- 25:50
- 16,000 tickets sold in a hundred
- 25:52
- thousand see place they had a bomb
- 25:53
- threat man they did worse in k1 that
- 26:00
- sucks in hindsight now when you when you
- 26:03
- look at just the story which the gist of
- 26:05
- the story was they were exploiting a war
- 26:06
- you wrote about it Vince freaked out now
- 26:09
- looking at this new business I remember
- 26:12
- very different because well that seemed
- 26:14
- a question in hindsight how absurd is
- 26:17
- this oh it's completely absurd at the
- 26:18
- time too but the thing is is that at
- 26:20
- that point you got to remember that
- 26:22
- nobody covered wrestling at all so so
- 26:25
- they were not used to you know being
- 26:27
- criticized for angles excited they were
- 26:29
- used to it by me and the observer but
- 26:30
- this was the national sports daily which
- 26:32
- was a big national newspaper at the time
- 26:34
- that the key was it wasn't really I mean
- 26:38
- you know it was it
- 26:39
- 200,000 circulation which is fairly big
- 26:41
- but in the New York market were Vince
- 26:44
- worked and lived all of the bigwigs
- 26:45
- everyone in the industry they already
- 26:48
- national and I was like to Dane in the
- 26:51
- Las Vegas paper Neil it was very exactly
- 26:53
- it's Dana in Las Vegas paper exactly
- 26:55
- just because one time I'll tell you is a
- 26:57
- funny story about the nationalist I did
- 26:59
- a thing I think there was a Tokyo Dome
- 27:02
- show during that period and I mentioned
- 27:04
- you know the Tokyo Dome drew you know
- 27:05
- whatever you know it was and I think I
- 27:07
- was just like the 10 biggest wrestling
- 27:09
- crowds of all time and there was you
- 27:10
- know I mean obviously WrestleMania 3 had
- 27:12
- already happened and the there was
- 27:16
- another one the one with um Hogan and
- 27:19
- Orrin Gorp in Toronto that happened not
- 27:22
- the Hogan
- 27:23
- I don't think Holden warrior it had to
- 27:24
- get but whatever but the point is is
- 27:26
- that there were a lot of shows there
- 27:28
- were there were some WB shows there and
- 27:30
- there were some Tokyo Dome shows there
- 27:31
- and WWE freaked and they you know they
- 27:34
- even called me and they tried to explain
- 27:35
- how I shouldn't be writing about the
- 27:38
- Tokyo Dome attendance because you know
- 27:42
- in in you know we have to sell our
- 27:45
- tickets and at the Tokyo Dome in those
- 27:46
- days you know a lot of tickets were
- 27:48
- corporate sponsors which in those you
- 27:50
- know but that's how the NFL in the NHL
- 27:51
- and NBA all sold their tickets it's just
- 27:54
- you know you you corporations would buy
- 27:55
- tickets and give them to their employees
- 27:57
- you know that was part of being a major
- 27:58
- league thing and double w in those days
- 28:00
- and then even today cannot do that
- 28:02
- because you know what you know if you
- 28:05
- work for mercedes-benz they're not going
- 28:06
- to go buy a whole bunch of w/e tickets
- 28:08
- to give to their employees you know like
- 28:10
- they would if it's like Bruce
- 28:11
- Springsteen coming down or something big
- 28:12
- but in wrestling or in Japan you know
- 28:15
- wrestling was in those days big enough
- 28:17
- to where you know big companies would do
- 28:18
- that and that's that it would solve the
- 28:19
- Tokyo don't work part you know part of
- 28:21
- the thing part of the reason that they
- 28:22
- would be able to do that so but anyway
- 28:24
- this is a other that their big thing on
- 28:26
- why I shouldn't do that but the the gist
- 28:28
- of it was as I found out and it was a
- 28:30
- wasn't hard to find out was Vince was so
- 28:34
- Vince thought and and and and anything
- 28:38
- basically it's true is that he had
- 28:40
- everyone in the New York not media but
- 28:42
- the New York business world thinking
- 28:44
- that nobody else could promote pro
- 28:46
- wrestling with Vince McMahon and nobody
- 28:48
- else could sell pro wrestling like Vince
- 28:49
- McMahon and they didn't know but there
- 28:51
- was a big history of pro
- 28:52
- swinging in all these parts of the
- 28:53
- country and a lot of these promoters
- 28:54
- were successful they only knew Vince
- 28:56
- McMahon post 1984 because everything
- 28:58
- else was underground even when it was
- 29:00
- successful so the point is is that they
- 29:03
- you know Vince was all mad because it's
- 29:05
- like oh my god it's gonna show that like
- 29:07
- other people in other parts of the world
- 29:09
- sell 50,000 tickets to wrestling matches
- 29:11
- it would add Vince isn't like you know
- 29:13
- the only one who ever did it or the only
- 29:15
- one who could do it and he thought that
- 29:16
- it was like you know I mean he's merging
- 29:19
- it made it look like he wasn't the
- 29:21
- creator of this entire industry because
- 29:23
- he wasn't the creator and he wasn't you
- 29:25
- know at certain points you know you know
- 29:27
- in his 20 year pin the 20-plus year
- 29:29
- period that we're talking about at
- 29:31
- certain points Vince was the number one
- 29:33
- promoter in the business no question but
- 29:35
- in the 90s you know I mean you know New
- 29:36
- Japan was the number one promotion in
- 29:38
- the world for a long time in the
- 29:39
- nineties in the notice periods where
- 29:40
- triple-a was number one
- 29:42
- you know later of course we had that
- 29:44
- brief period where WCW was number one
- 29:45
- but you know I mean it wasn't always and
- 29:48
- I think that he you know before the WCW
- 29:51
- period I think that you know in his mind
- 29:53
- you know I think that where he had to
- 29:54
- admit it because you know the ratings
- 29:56
- everyone was lived and died with ratings
- 29:57
- but before that I mean it was a real big
- 30:00
- deal that Vince didn't like the idea of
- 30:01
- anyone in New York having any idea that
- 30:05
- anyone else was pouring from
- 30:06
- professional wrestling successfully in
- 30:07
- other parts of the world by doing a
- 30:09
- different product than him now you also
- 30:11
- in that issue had a letter I believe it
- 30:15
- was a letter that you had written to
- 30:17
- Brody
- 30:18
- which of course was after I wonder what
- 30:25
- was it came off something about I mean
- 30:28
- it's about Brody getting mad at me over
- 30:30
- not not printing you know some you know
- 30:33
- the chick failed the drug test or
- 30:35
- something okay yeah I got that but I I
- 30:37
- must have perhaps I don't remember
- 30:41
- everything again this is 17 and a half
- 30:42
- years ago oh you know what it was
- 30:43
- probably a Frank Deford okay Frank
- 30:47
- Deford was my editor that actually makes
- 30:49
- sense you probably wrote dear Frank
- 30:50
- right after talking about Brody sorry I
- 30:54
- think sport and I were going back and
- 30:56
- forth that whole time okay I just you
- 30:58
- know you never know well I guess he must
- 30:59
- have liked me because at the end you
- 31:01
- know 15 years 15 years later he wrote I
- 31:03
- was whatever
- 31:05
- he did he he he wrote what was it the
- 31:09
- the the best sports writer in the
- 31:11
- country in the country yes so Frank
- 31:14
- Deford so whatever I guess I was good I
- 31:17
- guess I was a good a good writer
- 31:18
- reporter in those days it was in those
- 31:21
- days yes you've sort of fallen off the
- 31:23
- wayside here of late seriously now we
- 31:28
- also had the question about you would
- 31:30
- you'd mentioned something about Erin
- 31:32
- Andrews and so of course everybody
- 31:33
- wanted to know if she was the girl that
- 31:35
- you put the banana in her hair yes by
- 31:38
- the way it is really gonna have to tell
- 31:41
- that story again you know that's that's
- 31:46
- for another time yeah all right we'll
- 31:48
- skip that one for right now everybody
- 31:50
- remember that story from however many
- 31:52
- years ago that was ten years ago on on
- 31:54
- uh NYADA that Howe Cogan went on Arsenio
- 32:01
- Hall lied about steroids
- 32:04
- came back drunk from going out with her
- 32:07
- friends and then my good god well then I
- 32:11
- I put a banana in her hair later so now
- 32:13
- you know whatever happened everybody yes
- 32:15
- so I so I I did get my revenge when I
- 32:19
- broke up with this person here wants to
- 32:22
- know they watched a bunch of lead
- 32:23
- exceeds lately and they wanted to know
- 32:25
- your opinion of Frank Shamrock is a
- 32:27
- fighter now this is what he's done in
- 32:29
- elite exceed me anything Cesar Gracie
- 32:31
- and Phil Baroni aren't Anderson Silva
- 32:33
- obviously he can draw crowds but do you
- 32:36
- feel he has anything left as a top
- 32:37
- fighter um that's hard to say I mean
- 32:42
- obviously it's a showman he's probably
- 32:43
- one of the best and as far as building
- 32:45
- up a fight he is he is I think he is the
- 32:47
- best as far as being a top-ten fighter
- 32:49
- you know no you know no way but you know
- 32:52
- on any given day who knows you know I
- 32:54
- mean he it's hard to say because I don't
- 32:56
- know where Conley stands earring almost
- 32:59
- become Li Baroni yeah you know I mean it
- 33:01
- was a great fight though yeah but you
- 33:04
- know Cesar Gracie obviously you know
- 33:05
- that wasn't whatever the hens Oh fight
- 33:08
- you know even if he had beaten him so he
- 33:10
- did look impressive and the kung Li
- 33:13
- fight you know was an awesome fight but
- 33:15
- he lost he got his arm broken yeah so um
- 33:17
- I mean as far as I mean I never
- 33:19
- you know I don't think he could beat
- 33:20
- Anderson Silva I don't but I don't know
- 33:22
- anyone who could necessarily so any part
- 33:24
- of the problem is all of the inability
- 33:27
- no there's no question the caliber the
- 33:29
- fighters in UFC is above you know the
- 33:31
- caliber of the fighters and other
- 33:32
- organizations you know in all the other
- 33:34
- organizations for the most part I mean
- 33:35
- yeah I mean I'm a pushin may have better
- 33:37
- heavyweights but you know generally
- 33:39
- speaking you know when you're talking
- 33:40
- about every other weight class the UFC
- 33:44
- guys I think are better you know I don't
- 33:45
- know maybe all of us will see how the
- 33:48
- lightweight tournament ends up Betty
- 33:50
- Alvarez goes in wins the lightweight
- 33:51
- tournament I'm not so sure that there's
- 33:53
- a lot of guys in UFC you could beat
- 33:54
- Eddie Alvarez I think Ann Alvarez that's
- 33:57
- why yeah this question here if you've
- 34:00
- ever read a fighter's heart the fighter
- 34:01
- or no excuses by Kyle Maynard I haven't
- 34:06
- read commoners book a glance through it
- 34:07
- at the bookstore and in the other books
- 34:09
- I'm not read okay this one here very
- 34:12
- quickly any heat between Vince McMahon
- 34:14
- and JJ Dillon backstage at the flare
- 34:15
- deal from what I gather and JJ John was
- 34:19
- very nervous a little bit but you know
- 34:22
- they were very professional and Vince
- 34:24
- like thanked him for coming in JJ's the
- 34:26
- thing didn't for bringing them and that
- 34:28
- was it nothing nothing else and one more
- 34:32
- here before we wrap it up you have C
- 34:33
- plans with the pride video live or any
- 34:36
- chance of them releasing any pride DVDs
- 34:38
- or perhaps in
- 34:40
- perhaps expanding unleash to show pride
- 34:42
- fights that's a real good question I
- 34:47
- don't know what I think that there is a
- 34:49
- the problem is there's a there's a lot
- 34:51
- of rights problems because pride has I
- 34:54
- think that there's like the company that
- 34:56
- does the pride DVD still owns the u.s.
- 34:59
- DVD rights yes he doesn't own them and
- 35:02
- they can't show that I don't think they
- 35:04
- can show the pride fight son Unleashed
- 35:06
- because Fox Sports Net owns the rights
- 35:09
- to those fights that's why he because I
- 35:11
- was I remember when Anderson that when
- 35:13
- Anderson or Wanderlei Silva was about to
- 35:15
- fight Liddell I thought they you know
- 35:16
- they all those awesome you know
- 35:18
- Wanderlei Silva knockouts and fights and
- 35:19
- I think they're a lot of show like clips
- 35:21
- but they couldn't show any those fights
- 35:22
- on unleash because Fox Sports Net had
- 35:25
- the us rights to it so you know they
- 35:27
- bought the library but you know there's
- 35:28
- limitations because the part of it was I
- 35:30
- had already been sold to us
- 35:32
- you know it's funny is Dana whenever
- 35:34
- he's asked about pride I mean obviously
- 35:35
- doesn't want to you know talk too much
- 35:37
- about what a monumental failure it was
- 35:39
- but he always mentions I got the library
- 35:41
- I wanted that library and then you sit
- 35:43
- here you go okay you got it
- 35:46
- what are you doing with it hey what can
- 35:48
- you do with it yeah well I can sit
- 35:50
- around and watch this tape not much of a
- 35:52
- deal so far but hopefully at some point
- 35:55
- in the future well I got I know you got
- 35:57
- to wrap it up today there's there's more
- 35:59
- fighting on TV tonight believe it or not
- 36:03
- that's right dream show starting in a
- 36:05
- couple hours after we record this and a
- 36:07

- 36:26
- knows where we were jumping dollar thing
- 36:28
- again it's gonna be it's gonna be
- 36:30
- absolutely terrible thought the first
- 36:32
- time I just like the idea that this time
- 36:33
- they're gonna try and make it humorous I
- 36:35
- found the whole thing quite humorous
- 36:36
- last time well I mean that's the problem
- 36:38
- is it's good they're only gonna dig a
- 36:40
- deeper hole oh yeah I mean it's gonna be
- 36:42
- you know and then they're gonna you know
- 36:44
- you know I'm presuming that the last
- 36:46
- thing they shoot some angle so to where
- 36:48
- you know they get out of it and it's
- 36:49
- gonna be so bad like Linda Susan for all
- 36:53
- of his money he has none to give away
- 36:55
- anymore I don't know yeah I don't know
- 36:58
- every now and then rod just needs to be
- 37:00

- 37:02
- something to talk about for two weeks
- 37:04
- what a disaster it was this last Monday
- 37:06
- show was I mean really it was like it
- 37:11
- was really sad to me watching the show
- 37:12
- though because it was all you know it
- 37:14
- was really sad tonight when I started
- 37:15
- thinking about it because it's like how
- 37:17
- are these people who don't even who
- 37:19
- aren't even trying to do pro wrestling
- 37:21
- tweeted better than these people who you
- 37:23
- know with their life yes you know it's
- 37:25
- and I mean and and and it it's just
- 37:28
- years years and years of mistakes while
- 37:31
- they were successful that have led to
- 37:34
- this and I mean that's the whole thing
- 37:35
- it's not like that they're all of a
- 37:37
- sudden like losing touch it's that there
- 37:39
- were things that they needed to do all
- 37:40
- along you know develop talent that they
- 37:42
- just failed to do
- 37:44
- and you know they're paying the price
- 37:46
- and it's some and I don't I don't know
- 37:49
- that it's gonna change I mean you know
- 37:51
- there's things they're gonna be in
- 37:52
- business forever but whether they're
- 37:54
- gonna you know really hook people and
- 37:56
- all that you know where I don't know I
- 37:58
- don't I don't see like the big I don't
