Headlines sell tickets, but trust fills stadiums. We open with a frank look at WrestleMania’s ticket slowdown and the plan to stage a future show in Saudi Arabia, asking the question many fans are whispering: how do you weigh spectacle against safety in a volatile moment? We keep politics off the table and focus on risk, logistics, and brand stewardship—because a global event only works if people feel confident showing up. That leads to a bigger point about what wrestling companies owe their audience: clarity, care, and a story worth the trip.
Then we dig into the debut everyone’s arguing about. A flashy entrance with no setup left the arena confused and hostile. We break down why a niche character like Danhausen can land big when the lore is seeded—and flop when the crowd isn’t prepped. Debuts aren’t just moments; they’re payoffs. Without vignettes, teases, or a clear target like Dominik Mysterio framed weeks in advance, a pop becomes a question mark. We talk booking optics too: when budgets back surprises over proven workers, locker rooms notice, and morale matters. Great TV needs trust in creative and trust in each other.
The mailbag takes us home with stories that show the industry’s heart. Teddy shares mentors who shaped him—Harley Race, Eddie Gilbert, Kevin Sullivan, Jody Hamilton, Ricky Steamboat—and what it means to keep your head in the wrestling world while protecting your real life outside it. We make the case for a broader Hall of Fame lens that honors referees, managers, promoters, and trainers who build the ring that stars stand in. There’s love for Demolition, a nod to Jazz’s impact as a coach, and shoutouts to cities hungry for big shows. It’s a tour through the business behind the boom: risk, respect, and the art of earning the pop.
If this conversation hits your brain and your gut, tap follow, share it with a friend, and drop your take on the debut and the Saudi plan. Your voice is the final bell.
Warmup And Weather Check
SPEAKER_05And welcome back to another Wednesday night, and that means another night of road trip after hours. I'm your host, Mac Davis, and that, of course, moving around, bopping in the video right there, is none other than a Hall of Famer Teddy Long.
SPEAKER_00Hey, Teddy. I got so relaxed. I was slump like this. I said, let me sit up and try to beat my best over. Well, I just feel good today.
SPEAKER_05You just feel I do too, actually. I think, you know, here in Georgia, the weather's gotten a little bit warmer, so you can actually move around a little bit and enjoy the outside. Uh, I can imagine that Mr. Rufus probably enjoys that too.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah, I had him out today, man. He had a good time.
WrestleMania Ticket Slump
SPEAKER_05All right, Teddy, I want to talk something to me just before we went live. And uh so I want to talk about that, but first I do want to mention uh, you know, they're having a lot of trouble when it comes to the ticket sales for WrestleMania. It's not meeting the expectations. Expectations, uh, fans aren't crazy that it's being held in the same place two years in a row. And next year we know that WrestleMania is scheduled to go to Saudi Arabia. Now, without getting into politics and everything else, I just want to talk about dollars and cents maybe and and common sense. Teddy, if you are a wrestling fan and you see what's going on in our world right now, are you comfortable going to Saudi Arabia to watch WrestleMania?
SPEAKER_00I'm not comfortable going to Canada. I ain't comfortable going out to Walmart. I I mean I'm dumb dead serious, brother. I don't even want to go into Canada. You know, and I've you know, and I've I've been to there, you know, never had no problems, but it's like what you're saying, you know, with what's going on and stuff, man. I I I wouldn't go anywhere.
Saudi Arabia Safety Concerns
SPEAKER_05No, and you know, and I'm sitting here thinking that, you know, we know that TKO has been about the money grab ever since they got this company, good or bad, that's what they that's what the business model basically is. But I can't imagine them putting that many wrestlers, fans, and everybody else that could be in attendance next year in a situation that could be possibly deadly for some people. Maybe you get there and you don't come back home. I mean, when you're seeing that Saudi Arabia is getting hit with, you know, uh, you know, certain uh bombs and things being flown into them, you know, I'm not gonna get on the plane. I don't care who's over there. I'm not gonna go risk my family's life for that.
SPEAKER_00Well, you know, you have to, you know, it's sad that we have to even talk about uh what's going on, but you have to put it at here's here's the thing. You know, these guys didn't know this was gonna happen. They didn't know, you know, it was gonna break out into a war. So now they have to maybe do some major adjustments. So uh I'm pretty sure that WWE and TKO, I'm that will be more concerned about the safety of the fans and themselves because some of those guys are gonna be flying over there too. So uh I think that they're putting maybe something together to to really, you know, to be on the safe side and to take care of people and to make sure that everything goes right.
SPEAKER_05Man, they got basically a year to get all this stuff to calm down before they're over in Saudi Arabia for uh WrestleMania, but still, I I think in a lot of people's minds, you know, you you didn't think Saudi Arabia would be affected by you know bombs and everything else, and we find out that that's not the case.
SPEAKER_00And that's a lot of people nervous. That just go to show you you got to prepare. Yep. You know what I mean? There nobody was ready for this. You okay? This is you know, brand new to a lot of people. So especially that people are having to go fight this more and not knowing whether you're gonna come back or you know, what you know, whatever could anything can happen. Oh, yeah. So uh, you know, like I said once before, me and you were talking, man. We we just have to put everything in God's hand because man is out of control.
SPEAKER_05Yep, yep. And uh speaking out of control, this is what you mentioned to me just before we went live that you had heard something from somebody, and I mentioned a name and you said, That's it. I want to show you a video, Teddy. Now, I want to get your because obviously you have not seen this, so I want to show you a video. And everybody who's watching right now, uh, if you're listening via podcast, you can catch it on YouTube and see it if you need to. Uh, and by the way, thank you for everybody who's in the room right now. Please share this, let everybody know we are live. And uh, if you leave your comments down below, we'll throw them up on the screen. It doesn't cost you anything. This is an absolutely free show. Teddy hates when I say that, but we've always made it that way, and it's always going to remain that way with you guys when it comes to being a part of the show. All right, now here we go. There is a debut in WWE of a character that most people, I would say, have no clue who this cat is. There's a small percentage of people that do. I only do because I've seen him once or twice on AEW back when he was working with them on a very limited basis as well. But here's what fans got at the pay-per-view this weekend, Teddy. It was a debut. You won't forget.
SPEAKER_00Teddy, your reaction. Well, I mean, you know, I don't I I I don't want to criticize it, you know, because I've not I haven't watched the whole the story, the build up to whatever this was. There was no one.
A Debut Without A Story
SPEAKER_05Teddy, I don't mean to cut you off, but there was zero build up. This is the first thing we've seen of him. The very first thing. He's the guy that was in the box, the mystery box that they had. That's who it was. It was Dan Housen. Okay. Look, I I don't know what they're thinking. I Dan Housen is not a uh I can't imagine him actually wrestling in the WWE. He would just have to be a gimmick. Uh, there's nothing more than that. He's just what was all the girls and all that for anyway? What did that mean? See, and that's the problem, Teddy, is that most people who watched are asking the same question. They didn't get it. Now, those of us who are aware of Dan Housen, and those are those who are probably in the room right now, Dan Housen's kind of a weird vampire-type character that curses people. You're cursed. In fact, he cursed Dominic Mysterio the other night. So I'm guessing that Dominic is probably gonna have start having problems and matches and stuff like that, and it's all because of Dan Housen.
SPEAKER_00And and now here's a guy putting curses on people that's coming out with a bunch of women dancing and stuff.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and it felt very much like I I you know, I'm gonna show my age, but back when I was growing up, your age, you're alive, goddamn it. But there was a show called Batman, and Batman and Robin would come on, and it was these spoof shows, lots of color and stuff like that. It felt very much like his entrance felt like a Batman show with the the You gotta remind you, you gotta remind you of the Joker. Yeah, he just kind of odd, you know, but still, Teddy. I got to think when you have somebody like Danhausen that you're bringing into the company, I don't know what they pay him to be there, but I'm sure it's not just a little bit of money. So they they bring him in, but then you let other people go who are much better talent, especially when it comes to wrestling in the ring. I'm not sure about how they're spending the money. If if you're one of the talents, wouldn't you kind of find that to be a little bit of a jab?
SPEAKER_00Well, it's like my like I said, I think some people are being used because um uh because somebody likes them, and there's some people that are not being used because you're not liked.
SPEAKER_05Again, it goes back to politics. Let's see. Uh, we have Zach Minger in the room saying, Zach, it's uh it's National Pound Cake Day, Teddy and Mac.
SPEAKER_00Well, I appreciate that, Zach, but I'm not eating any pound cake today. Thank you.
Who Is Danhausen
SPEAKER_05I do love that. I like pound cake, but I only like the hard crust on the top. I don't like all the other cake. I just like that top part that's kind of crispy. That part's crispy.
SPEAKER_00All I can think about is bread.
SPEAKER_05Dave is in the room. Hey, Dave, saying Danhausen should have come in at the Royal Rumble. He's a jabroni and will fade out quickly. I agree with you.
SPEAKER_00I think he already faded out.
SPEAKER_05Well, let me tell you, the the uh the crowd in Chicago, when that was over with, booed him unmercifully. It teddy. And I mean again, it may not be his fault, but he was not introduced to people. Don't know what their cheering looks like. He's doing what he's told to do. Yep, yep. Unfortunately. Uh Ellen, hey Ellen, good to see you. She's saying, Hey guys. Hey Ellen, how are you? Dave is also saying that uh St. Louis needs a WrestleMania. We're overdue for a big wrestling town. Teddy, you how often did you go through St. Louis with the WWE? Was that a quite a normal run?
SPEAKER_00Well, yeah, we did, you know, back then it was the old Keel Auditorium there where we wrestled in St. Louis. Yeah. Uh yeah, I went there a lot of times. B JY D, Butcher Eating Run, where you know where I had them back back then. So yeah.
SPEAKER_05All right, let's see. Uh we also have getting the pop-up real fast here, Christian uh saying, How's it going, guys? Hey, Christian, good to see you in here. Uh, I like saying the same too. Christian uh Rodriguez Espino.
SPEAKER_00Well, I'm just saying Christian.
SPEAKER_05Yes, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. And Scott Lance, good to see you, Scott. I don't get the hype behind Dan Housen. The presentation appears to be like a jobber from the 80s, horrible character. Looks like if Lisa Simpson and Mudhouse, Mohouse, I'm sorry, had a kid that became a wrestler. That's true, too. That's a good observation there. Uh, Dave was also saying that uh mulky mania is running wild.
SPEAKER_00Yes, it is.
SPEAKER_05Glenn Williams, okay. Now, you know, Gwen Williams Teddy is the guy who a couple weeks ago sent something in that I I think kind of rubbed us both wrong. Here, I'll remind you what it was.
SPEAKER_02Teddy Long is coming to FanFest 4 this year. Teddy Long's a good GM. Yeah, right, dude. Teddy Long can't even book a dentist appointment without making it a tag team match, play it. A nasty brr. Mac Davis is coming to Fan Fest for this year. Uh if Mac Davis's charisma was downloadable content, it would be the free trial. Ooh, a nasty burr.
SPEAKER_05You get the idea there, Teddy. He's he's keep saying online, I keep seeing this quite a bit, and he's mentioning it here right now. This is Big Nasty Glenn Williams saying, quit dunking me and have me on your show. Uh uh You know, first of all, we don't do well being told what to do. Uh that's not me. And I warned you once before, and I'll warn you one last time do not poke this damn bear. We clear. All right. All right, we gotta take a quick break, and Teddy, when we come back, uh we'll talk about all the mail that we're getting in here. But first, S-I-C-W Fan Fest. Here's more information.
SPEAKER_04Let's do this. You wanted more. So we're bringing you Fan Fest for JBL, Mickey James, Carlito, and Sever Robert Gibson, Carrie and Ricky Morton, Glow Girls, Sunday, Tommy Fulton, Eddie Long, and Mac Davis, the Brookwood Rower, Jackie Rod, the Cloud Published D Lo Brown, Backwell, Harvey Whippled, and Paul Emery, powers of pain, wildfire, Tommy Rick, boy, Bob Horton, and boy, a fan night, Fairview Heights, Illinois, the Radiston Hotel and Conference Center. That's ICW and Fest Ford, the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame. Weekend includes Mick Foley's One Man Show and the Bruiser Brody Memorial. I see letters.
SPEAKER_03Oh, we get letters. We get your letters every day. We better. Those letters. I love those letters. Let's find out what you got to say. Oh boy!
SPEAKER_04Mail bed! Mail today.
SPEAKER_05Should probably also mention something else too, Teddy, while I'm thinking about it from SICW Fan Fest. Demolition uh was entered into this year's Hall of Fame. Uh so and they will be at uh SICW for the uh big festivities there. So congratulations to those two for sure.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they're couple of nice guys.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, man, and always very helpful if you ever need something that they yeah, which you need, uh, which is I love that in this business. Um, let's see. Uh Teddy G from Facebook asked, Teddy, who had the most influence on you, not just wrestling, but in life.
SPEAKER_00You know, that's a really a hard question because when I grew up, you know, I didn't grow up with my mother and father, you know, they were deceased real early, so I kind of grew up in the streets. So I really didn't look up to nobody, I guess, but people that, you know, I was surrounded around. You know, I guess those were the kind of people, you know, I guess because that was a life I wanted to live, because that's all I knew. Yeah. So I I I just don't know. I think the only person, you know, really I had what to look up to was God. That was it. Because I know I was out there on my own and that was it.
Live Chat Banter And Humor
SPEAKER_05Daddy, when uh you know, I a lot of people uh find this to be the case that are involved in wrestling. But when you get into wrestling, you and I mean you hear people say it all the time, you have another family. But in reality, it really is. You learn and grow with these people if you're together, and so it does become your family. I'm curious, did is that the first time you felt like you had a family unit when you got into wrestling?
SPEAKER_00Well, you when you the wrestling world and the outside world are two different things. Once you step into that arena, you're in a whole nother world now. You're in the wrestling world. So now that's another family. So now this is a world here. You have to learn how to live, eat, survive. You know what I mean? All that comes, you know, at in that world, in the world of wrestling. So once you're out of there, then you can be your normal self. You know what I mean? And that's what some guys do. When they give them characters, they it for the wrestling world, they take that character all the way to the real world. You know, start believing that they're really this person. And that's really bad when you, you know, do that to yourself. You know what I mean? You got, you know, you gotta always remember, you know, what this is.
SPEAKER_05Wasn't there somebody in the uh the back that you would say maybe early on in your career when you got into wrestling that was kind of a father figure that kind of said, Teddy, look, I'm, you know, this is kind of stuff I'm gonna help you with. You know, I I had somebody like that, so I'm I'm kind of guessing that a lot of people do. Did you have somebody like that?
Mailbag Opens
SPEAKER_00God rest their souls. Harley Race uh was one of them. Um uh hot step, Eddie Gilbert, God rest his soul. Uh Kevin Sullivan, God rest his soul. He was another one. Uh God, I don't want to miss anybody, because there were a lot of people, uh J.Y.D. God riches, so he really uh, you know, me and him had a chance to ride together, learned a lot from him. But there are just uh a lot of guys that people did, oh Terry Fox. Don't please, don't let me leave out Terry. And uh Terry and uh was a guy that uh was really me and him were so close that I never did forget to call him on Christmas. Every Christmas I'd always call Terry and Ricky Steamboat as another guy that was really, you know, helped me out quite a bit. And he's another guy that I still call today. I talked to him uh last year. So uh yeah, there were a lot of guys that uh uh Gary Hart, you know, uh yeah, yeah, yeah. He was another one that uh helped me out a lot. And also uh Nick Patrick's father, Jody Hamilton, uh yeah, Big Jody. He uh he saved me one night. I was uh we was in uh Washington, D.C. was doing Capital Comeback. And uh Ole uh at the time was the booker, God rest his soul. He uh they went this hair versus hair match with me and Paul Ellerin. Now, I don't have no hair. Paul Ellerin has no hair. So what is the purpose of this? You know what I mean? But I knew, but but the thing was they was cutting my hair. So okay. So I and then I was going through other things with other people too. So man, I'm like, I I I I just had enough. So I I told Jody, I said, I'm I'm out of here. And he pulled me to the side and he talked to me, and uh, he told me, no, no, no, no. He said they're trying to get you some of this, you know, he and he just he just calmed me down. And uh then I I I kind of got a grip on it, and I'm like, okay, I just got to ignore some of this stuff.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I gotta tell you too, Teddy, uh, even though you didn't have much hair on your head, you it's you were better off getting it shaved off. It looks much better off than it did on. You know, but back then that's still your home.
SPEAKER_00That that that that that wasn't the case.
SPEAKER_05Now you did have a little bowl, Mr. Up on top of the head up here, and you had kind of that little rap going.
SPEAKER_00Well, he didn't have no he didn't have no hair either. So, how can you how can you put hair versus hair?
Mentors And Found Family
SPEAKER_05Nobody cares, that's the problem. All right, let's see. Uh Elijah's saying, talking about Dan Housman, people think that Vince is back because of the situation, and let alone that question I was going to ask you, guys. Uh, did you guys hear about the rumor? All right, Elijah, you lost me on that. Okay, hold on. Here we go. He's got a follow-up here. Something about Vince McMahon could be buying back the company. If Saudi Arabia gets it, I wanted to know if you heard uh about that and if it's true or not. If you go back to our last show, we actually discussed that. Uh and and you know, I don't know that it's any more than just a rumor. Uh I I think it, but as Teddy and I said last week, is it a possibility? Could something like that happen? Yeah, I could see that happening for a number of reasons. Uh, and one of them being the ticket sales for WrestleMania and next year's uh WrestleMania and Saudi maybe being in question right now. They may be seriously looking to unload that company as and be interested in hearing offers from Vince or anybody else. Uh, and maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. Legally, who knows? Um, let's see if we got else. What else we got in here? We have uh Herb Simmons in the room. He's saying, Good evening, gentlemen. Hope is all was well and uh back to you, Herb. Uh looking forward to that in St. Louis. And of course, Herb now, Teddy. This is one of the things I love about this uh company. Herb did not want to go into his own hall of fame, but there's a reason for that because he didn't think it was it was for a place of a promoter to go in there. And when he mentioned that to me, I was like, You're out of your damn mind. You've done this for over 50 years, you deserve to be in that hall of fame. Show me another promoter that can claim the same, and maybe they should be in the hall of fame too.
SPEAKER_00Well, it's just like right now, you know. I don't know why they don't put some of the officials in the hall of fame, you know, Tim White, God rest his soul. And there's a guy that would uh Mike Keyota, these guys were 30 years. Yeah, you know what I mean? I I don't understand that part.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of personalities, and we talk about this all the time. But you know, this is entertainment, and there were some very entertaining people like Bobby the Brain Heen and if he had never, you know, people like that. Well, you get a manager in there, okay. Well, they had to fight to get managers in there, probably. If you want to get uh, let's say uh an announcer in there that is famous like uh throughout the years, uh, you get uh Gordon Silly. Well, Gord Gordon did go in though, didn't he, Teddy?
SPEAKER_00I don't I don't remember. I remember Jim Ross. I did they put him in, didn't he?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, they they they put him in, but uh you know, a lot of times they tried to attach it to something else. So it's like, you know, uh, in your case, you went in just as the general manager, although you should have gone in also as a referee and for your time as an official in the business as well, don't you think? Or even as a manager.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well, I mean, they that that they can always cover that by you know mentioning what you've done, you know, in the past. That covers all that, and then you don't have to make no big deal out of it.
SPEAKER_05We also have in here uh saying, uh, What's up? Um, let's see.
SPEAKER_00Falls are you sure that's what that said?
SPEAKER_05That's what it said. Falls count everywhere back. We invite you along with Teddy at FanFest 4 to have some real wrestling talk. Uh, we look forward to that. I actually uh that's something I do look forward to. Uh, to sit down and be able to, you know, just you know, shoot the shit like we did last year. I had a blast doing that. AJ Wallace is in the room. I heard from him earlier today. Gwen Williams is just as annoying as Travis Cook, for goodness sakes.
SPEAKER_00Well, who is Gwynn Williams?
SPEAKER_05Uh Gwen Williams is big Nassie, the guy we were talking about a while ago.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_05Dave is saying Indica or Sativa. Teddy. I have no idea what he's talking about. Indica? What was that? A country somewhere? Both. Both, okay. You get depends on the time. What time of day is it? Uh, let's see. Offie, hey, man, I have not seen him in a long time. Avi Klein. Good evening, gentlemen. Good to see you, brother.
SPEAKER_00What did it do, play?
SPEAKER_05Uh Scott Lance saying, Hey, going to Williams, I have taken a Mac Davis spear. Yes, he has. You don't want any of that. Teddy, what's your favorite souvenir you've gotten in your stay in wrestling?
SPEAKER_00Uh, I don't have any souvenirs. I well, the ones that I did have, I probably I think I've got rid of them now, so I don't really have any.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, you do. You got a picture. Uh this is souvenirs. Uh, you and I at SummerSlam a few years ago in Nashville.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah, I'm looking right at that right now.
SPEAKER_05Oh, yeah, that's probably worth a ton of money.
SPEAKER_00Well, then it won't be it won't be up that long.
SPEAKER_05No, knock it down and put something else in the frame. Let's see. We have uh he's saying, Max.
SPEAKER_00Oh, come on.
Hair Vs Hair And Locker Room Lessons
SPEAKER_05What's your ultimate go-to comfort food that you crave after a long day that always hits different? And what makes it so perfect every single time? Uh, I I can tell you that my absolute favorite comfort food is pork chops with black-eyed peas over rice. I feel like I'm home every time I have that. My wife knows that because she makes it once a week because I like it that much. Uh, but it just reminds me of uh, you know, the the early days back when things were really simple and and and quite honestly, I love pork chops. They may not like me all the time, but I do love a good pork chop. Let's see, Teddy. Uh yeah, if you could he I'm I I'm curious, what are you indicated or sativa, brother? He's on both of them. Teddy, if you could teleport anywhere right now for one hour of pure chaos, where would you go? And what one ridiculous thing would you do first?
SPEAKER_00I would go straight to Corpus Christi and I'd go straight to Walter Larstebar and get the biggest margarita I could ever find. And I hadn't had a drug of alcohol in 20 years.
SPEAKER_05And what's the most one ridiculous thing that you would do? Uh let's see if I got that right. What one ridiculous thing would you do first? You just get the thing. Have you ever done any kind of uh crazy shit, Teddy, like uh parasailing or anything like that? No, no, no, no, no. I never saw you as one of those risk takers, not like that. No, not if it's gonna hurt you, right? Justin in the room. Uh, he's saying, I can still see Teddy Long's face when Undertaker was his limousine driver. Buckle up, Teddy. Oh yes, all of the banging and banging and clanging on the car windows.
SPEAKER_04Hey, let me out of here.
SPEAKER_05Tyler Cooley. Good evening, gentlemen. Hey, uh Tyler, it's great to see you in here. Uh let's see, I got player. Let me get another question from the mailbag. Uh, Jet Boy X wants to know what is your favorite memory of a match in your history?
SPEAKER_00Uh, I guess the uh one where it's for me, I guess, was the Shy Town Heat. I was involved in that thing with uh Flair and Steamboat, and you know, and that was a real big deal. And to be able to be a part of that and referee that that was uh and that's part of the finish. And the finish is really the main thing. So that uh that was good memory there.
SPEAKER_05All right, we have uh Scott Lance saying, Mac and Teddy, what was your worst receipt you ever got? Hell i anything anytime I was in the ring with Mike Stratus, uh, I got a receipt during the entire match, and so did he. So that's just how it was with us. Uh Teddy, what about you?
SPEAKER_00I never got any receipts. I try to stay away from them.
SPEAKER_05That's somebody else, right?
SPEAKER_00You had to work and get mean. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_05All right, now look here. I'm trying not to get rid of Herb here. Let's see. Here we go. Herb is saying, uh, tell Teddy our negotiations locally are still being discussed. Answer coming soon.
SPEAKER_00Uh yeah, he's uh missing uh he's been uh talking with the board of directors there with SICW about uh the deal with me coming in as the general manager. Like I said, uh we're still talking. So uh thank you very much, Herb. And uh, you know, hopefully they'll come up to some kind of decision. I'll see what I want to do. I don't know, man. I'm enjoying myself at home, sleeping in my own bed every night. So uh I this is uh it's gonna take a lot of thinking.
SPEAKER_05All right, let's see. We also have a wrestling historian. Does Mr. Long prefer going by Teddy or Theodore?
SPEAKER_00Doesn't make any difference.
SPEAKER_05No, no, you can call me whatever you want as long as you don't call him to pay for anything.
SPEAKER_00Yes, yes, yes, right.
SPEAKER_05Hoss holding in the room, too. Hoss, how you doing, man? Uh, it was like your health is doing great, and I see you back out and about again. All right, let's see. We also have uh E on the screen, brother. I don't even know what it means. Y'all ever see the old show celebrity deat match? Yes, I did. It was like a claymation of celebrities fighting to the death.
SPEAKER_00Teddy, do you remember that? I remember it, but I couldn't remember none of the matches. But I remember celebrity death match.
Halls Of Fame And Who Gets In
SPEAKER_05Yeah, it was one of those uh moments during the attitude era and stuff like that where stuff was just crazy. And man, yeah, that stuff was funny as hell to me.
