Ask Francine (Almost) Anything

see it again. See the Look what movie is that from? Uh? That is Tangled? Yeah, got wake up pretty in the early in the morning to get a Rapunzel reference. By now you know, because now I have to wear glasses, you know, to stare at the monitor so I don't get these raging headaches. Excuse me and my lighting. My light ring was perfect behind my monitor, but because of my spectacles, you can see the rings. Look at this. I don't know where to put it. And if I

don't use it, it's just very dark. I look very dark. When you turn and they cover your eyeballs, you look possessed. The zombie franc scene mean, yeah, or gift or whatever the hell they call those things. Uh, you know what, guys, I can't do this. We're just gonna leave it back there for now. Well, how are you? It was a It feels like a long week since we last saw each other, but it really wasn't. So how's everything going with you? Everything's pretty good. Today's dreary day. So I

am a party up top, sweatpants on the bottom. Yeah, I'm just chilling. You know, it's it was a pretty lazy week. Not much going on here. How about yourself? Uh? Pretty Uh, you know, it's pretty regular week. I did a softball practice on Tuesday night, which is my favorite one we've had so far, the girls ten U softball team. I'm assistant coaching. This one was just fun. This was the first one where the girls like we're laughing, and whether or not that has to do with me like

taking a bigger role in this practice. I just the way they shouldn't always be so dead serious, but they should be serious in the game. Practice. They got to learn, but they got to also have a good time and they were laughing and it was it was fun. I had a good time on Tuesday, But that that seems like a long time ago. I compared this Friday. It

seems like forever ago. Yeah. Yeah, we just we did some schoolwork this week, I mean took some walks, you know, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and now today is completely miserable and raining and we're not going to go outside obviously, but you know the fall foliage. Yeah, yeah, I believes I'm trying to get my kids to watch the movie Babe, and they will not watch it. And I with the talking pig, Yeah, I love that, it's all right. I

haven't seen it in a long time. Yeah, And I thought it would be like a cute because it's a cute lesson to learn, and you know, with the homeschooling, just trying to incorporate different things, and I thought a movie would be cute and instead of like a Captain Underpants where they fart and do all this stuff, I thought Babe would be a good No, I don't want to watch that. That's dumb. I go, how do you know it's dumb. You don't know it's dumb. You've never

seen it. It's very cute. If they think Babe is dumb, I really would love to know what people think about Captain Underpants. I mean, like, I love Captain Underpants is quite possibly the biggest acid trip your children are going to experience in this current day and age. It is all over the place. Oh, they watch it all the time. We have all the nuts. Yeah, we have all the books. We have the movie. I mean it's oh it's it's real and dog Man im For Halloween, I bought them

Captain under Pants ackoween. I love it. Yeah. So, I mean, I don't mind that once in a while, but it's it's getting to the point where it's like, okay, we need to watch something intelligent once in a while, you know. Yeah. So the references there, they'll throw out a couple like adult references and stuff that only the adults will get. But it's like, it's just I'm telling you, it's like

a fever dream. It's like one way and it's going this way and then this, and then they're in space and then they're you know, underwear and oop and all this crap. Do you know what my son is into now? What? It drives me freaking crazy. He will talk and he will go, that is just some beep and I go, it's just the cursing, but beat down, And I said, what are you talking? About because oh, that's how they curse. And I said, what do you mean, because my kids

don't say curse words. Yeah, but instead of saying, hey, hey, that's some ship, he'll go, well, hey that's some beep. Dude, you can't say because he watches these uh he's not supposed to, and I catch him a lot. But if he watches like a Family Guy or American Dad or something, and they curse, they used the beat, they beep, so he'll want to say a curse word, but he'll go, man, what the beep? What are they teaching these kids now?

But hey, you know what, I say that on the other side, and somebody I think I saw it on Facebook, was like, don't rip on anything your kids watch because this is what you watched, and it was pee Wee you know, pee Herman Pee's Playhouse. Peewey's Playhouse is pretty ridiculous too. If you go back and see it for a little bit, you're like, yikes, what themking? I know, well, it's just some some of the cartoons are a little they yeah, they go over their heads. So I'm not

really a fan. But when he did that, I had to laugh because I was just like, dude, what the hell. I don't say it, but I just look at him like man, because I told you, I keep my kids in a bubble. You know, we don't curse. I mean, once in a while, it might a ship might fly on my mouth if I'm driving and somebody comes into my lane or something. But I try to keep it very PG in this house. And it just it struck

me funny that he would what the beep? I was like, Okay, curse, yeah they I mean, I grew up around zero cursing outside of the family doesn't like cursing. They don't like cursing at all. And it's just it's you know, it's just something that it's always carried through. So if I drop, you know, the F bomb on here or on an extra or something, yeah, I know, I hear it. I hear and he'll send me a texting he'll go, he'll go, great episode and an F bomb you better. But I

but that's the that's the Chad character. Who's who's dropping the bombs. That's not me. See, you have a character, and this is me. What are we doing? It's the flip side. See, That's why I always say, I catch you on the flip side. Oh yeah, the Chad persona. How about that not character? Yeah, well don't don't let him watch the drink while you think, because I dropped an f bomb. Oh yeah, no, you dropped a couple of fombs. That was so I was. I was so

much fun fun the Sally Brown thing. If you haven't caught it, If you haven't caught it and you're listening, you're watching the Patreons, then what are you thinking? Not going in chronological order, but for the people listening to the audio, that was the funniest thing. I think we ever spontaneously fell into the Sally Brown. I feel so stupid. So seeing it back, I was just like, how dumb am I? Like? Duh? I knew she was Charlie Brown's sister. What was I thinking? And what? And it wasn't like

I even drank five beers at that point. I was just like, what's our last? Like I totally went blank? It was so funny. That was the funniest just really looking watching it back, I was I was still laughing. You said you were laughing as hard. I exactly was, because it was it was that naturally funny. Oh I'm glad I entertain you people. For good stuff. Now, I have to throw this out here early because I want to. I want to get it out of the way so we know ahead of time. So we have a new

so you ready? Yeah. So this week I wanted to just chit chat back and forth with the Chadster and we asked on Twitter ask me almost anything, and the response was out of this world. We had so many questions come in and if we pick your question, we're going to give you a shout out. So the Chadster is going to read me some questions and I am going to answer them as best as I can. All right, to kick it off, this is a good one. I'm just gonna start with this one because it's at the

top of the list. Selena Dilarenta wants to know who is your favorite chitlin. My favorite chitlin, Well, I have several, but I will say that Selena is my favorite little chitling. Although I haven't talked to you in a while, but I'm sure paths will cross soon. She's hilarious. I love her. Gee, she's nice, very nice. I love when she was on with us last year. And you know, supports a lot of our stuffs. She you know, she shares a lot of our videos, even stole our idea with your da

Come on, chitling, what's going on? She's all life up now too, so is she? Yeah? Yeah, very handsome, handsome man took her away from me, so wow. Very happy for my little chitlin. And can't we lucky guy? Yeah, I like the blonde when she changed to the blonde, I did. I did like it? Yeah. I think I think you told me that a couple of times. Yes, I did a couple of times. All right, at Bruiser K, would you support your kids if they wanted to pursue a wrestling career? Gosh, here we go with this again.

I have said a million times I do not want my children to be in this business, but if they had their heart set on it, I would have no choice but to support them, but I would not encourage it nor. You know, I'm not saying it's a bad thing for the guys who bring their kids around the business like that's their deal. I know what the business entails, and I know it's a very hard sport to be successful in. I also know how I feel at this point in my life, and I don't wish this on anyone.

It's a very very difficult job to have. So I wouldn't want them to be in the business, but if they had their heart set on it, I would support them. I would support anything that my children did because I love them. Yeah. You see, and people who did grow up around it, that got into it, they already saw a lot of the bad stuff, you know. So either they're going to repeat history or they're going to really go out of the way to change history for themselves

and every other generation that comes after them. Yeah. I mean, I'm not knocking it, don't get me wrong. It is just a very very difficult, you know, support to be successful in. And we've said it so many times. Do you either have it or you don't. And luckily, I mean, I you know, we don't talk wrestling in this house. We don't watch I don't watch my stuff. I don't I don't put wrestling on the television. Like the kids are not around it. This is not a wrestling family.

I pretty much think I'm going to be a one generation and it's not going to carry over. So and I'm fine with that. I'm fine with it. Maybe your great great grandchildren will get in and they'll say, remember my great great grandma, the trailblazer. Guess what. I won't even see that, so God bless them. If they do. I would rather them, you know, be doctors, lawyers. My daughter wants to be an animator right now. My son wants to work for Disney and create rides. That's what

they're into. Okay, all right? At Cristiano f Underscore eighty seven. Ask and this is a good one. You've been interviewed so many times over the years. What's the one question you wish someone would ask but so far hasn't asked? My goodness, that is a good question. I jeez, you know, I don't really know, because I've pretty much been asked everything I've been in the business twenty seven years. I can't really think of something that that hasn't come up.

People ask about your personal life. They ask about, you know, private stuff. I wish they wanted. That's one thing I wish they wanted. You're privately I don't know. I don't I don't know. I don't think there is anything. Do you think of? Can you think of anything? No? I mean it's tough because you know, you've done a lot of shoot interviews. So in the shoot interviews, you know,

that's where you would expect. Those are multiple hours, not even like a quick podcast interview thirty five forty minutes. You've done, you know, very long, not long winded. I don't want to say it like nastalily, but you've done very long, you know, time wise, shoot reviews, two three hour interviews. I mean, every question that you could ask about wrestling is thrown at you. But I don't know. I mean maybe something personally that you haven't thought about.

They're pretty open about stuff. The one you did with Sean Oliver a couple of years ago that could have closed the door on questions you hadn't been asked because that was more about your personal stuff. So it's you probably have I've been asked everything that you could be You know. I Yeah, I can't think of anything that I haven't been asked. I love when people ask me. You know, well it might be a question in here.

So I'm not even going to say that. So we'll wait, yeah, because there's no come back and ask you if if we don't, if we don't cover it, that's fine, that's fine, all right. This is from at third Wheel, Lefty, any nerves going into the spot when Bam bam swung the crutch at your head at November to remember ninety seven. I always had nerves with me. It didn't matter if I had no spots or one hundred spots. I always

had butterflies. So that night I knew that my telvis was legit broken, and for me to agree to that spot was utterly ridiculous because I bumped on my broken telvis if you remember, Yeah, I go to the left and I take a bump on my hip, which was stupid, you know, very very stupid. I could have reinjured myself all over again. So I once I landed, I just remember saying to myself, oh, because I'm on crutches, you

know what I mean. I couldn't walked, I couldn't put any pressure on my left side, so that that was a very very stupid thing that I did. I probably shouldn't have did that, but yeah, I was really nervous about it because I wasn't. You never know when you're out there how you're going to react. And you could say in the back, oh, yeah, I'll take a flat bump.

But then you go out there and you land wrong, or something happens or it's delayed, and things change, and you know, you can't depend on what you go over because it's it usually doesn't happen the way you want it to. So I could see that. You know, the anniversary was last week of Bam Bam beating Shane for the world. That was this past literally last week, just missed it. There's an anniversary for everything, there really is.

We've come to find that out doing the research. Yeah, but the big moment, you know, it was not just you know a little blip on the radar. All right, here you go. How about this one at mister Littleton, Uh, do you have any secret talents or interest that people will be surprised to find out about? Well, I do have a secret interest and that's for Patreon. This, yes

it is. Thank you I was gonna. I was waiting for you to say that, because I'll just I'll throw that there secret YouTube of sessions that I really can't talk about. It's a little weird, it's a little satisfying, and it's a lot of weird. It's not a little weird, it's a lot of weird. Yeah, But hidden talents. I don't think it's a talent. But I love to sing, and I sing. I constantly sing. And my daughter thinks I sing like an angel. I know, God bless her

little heart. I sing really well in the shower, I must say. With the acoustics, I sound. I sound like a Grammy Award winning artist. But I love to sing. So I'm constantly dancing and singing around the house. And that makes me happy. Singing is happiness, you know that it is. It makes me so happy. It is all right? How about this one at at Gray Ruined. If you were able to valet anyone in today's wrestling, who would it be? Oh? I know who would be? Do you think?

Answer for Dolf Ziggler? Yes, yes, I love him. I think he's so great and I've said it so many times, like he reminds me of Shane like a younger Shane. I don't you know, I don't know if he would need a manager, but I think my character could add so much more and take it to another level. But I just I just dig what he does and he's

just he's he's got everything. So Fan, if it was the Attitude era, okay, and they had you in the place of Vicky Guerrero, when they had him paired with Vicky Guerrero, I could see a literal combination of every guy that you were paired with in Dolf Ziggler and that, you know what I mean on their television, I could see it. You know, the incentives for winning, you know, this is what you're not getting this until you you you know, get the title back. That kind of stuff

I think would work perfect. But he's I mean, it's a case everybody's talked about. He is so misused by that company and it is he's made a mint doing it. But he literally could have been the biggest start that they had, you know, biggest heel they had since Roddy Piper if they wanted to. You know, he's still can be. Yeah, he's not old. He's I think he's like years old. No, you know, what he just turned yonder. Oh I thought he was younger than that. He just turned forty? Did

he really? Okay? I think almost positive. He's thirty four years old. Well he looks it because he keeps in such good condition. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's hard. And we've talked about this before. I mean, they have their thumb on you and and it's really difficult for you to wiggle out of that hold, you know. And when you're under contract, you just go there and you do what they tell you to do. And he's a team player

and he's doing it. But there's so much more that they could be doing with him, and it's you know, you see I don't want to name names, but you see some people that get pushed and it's like, are you kidding me? You know what I mean? As recognize talent when you see it, and that's a big problem up there. I feel so just my two cents a couple of these, if we have to come back to them, I'll come back to them. There's a lot of questions

we've tackled, Yeah, a couple of times. This is from at Todd and Jay Good morning, debating on the videos on your only debating on the videos or only Fans you sell which is better? Debating which one of your only Fans videos is the better one. No, I believe he's talking about Cameo versus only Oh okay, I don't do videos, So there are two different entity entities. Really, it's cameo is you're paying forty for a tow three minute video that's personalized, whereas with the Only Fans you're

paying ten dollars for the whole month of content. So it just depends on what you're into. If you like to see photos and you'd like to interact with me on live streams once a week, then Only Fans is the way to go. If you need a personalized message for a loved one or your self, you should do Cameo, or if you have a lot of money, you should do both ha ha, and then save room for Patreon at the end. Absolutely, absolutely get it all, bundle it up. I am here for you. Come on, Todd and Jay,

I got my new Jersey roots. Come on, take your care all right? How about this one? This is a good one. This is a good question at Brian Perrus. What do you do to relieve yourself after a stressful day? Oh? Hello, I don't think we're gonna go necessarily in the dirty column here. I think that this is more like, what's it? What's it? You had a bad day, You're really stressed out. What do you do to kind of relieve that? Well? I have kids, so it's not like I could escape

and you know, do whatever. I usually just uh lay in bed and watch a video or two until I fall asleep. Take some mellowtone, I take the Melantonin. It helps me calm down, It relaxes me, and then I fall asleep. Nothing too crazy. Sometimes I'll drink a cottail to unwine. Maybe if it's a Friday night or something, maybe I'll have a little bevy. Uh. It just depends. You know. We are homebodies even before COVID. We don't

go out too too much. Like maybe we would go out once a week with the kids to dinner, but we like to stay home. So I love to be in a T shirt and sweatpants, hair up, no makeup, just relaxing with the family. Like that's my favorite thing to do, and I do it a lot. It's great, that's a that's a recipe for a lovely night. In my point of view, I think that's so great. I mean, my c love and days are over, so I don't

I don't do that. You ever get the little inkling though, to go to a bar just to get to go to club and you know, go to go to the dance clubs, go to no nothing, not even like you know, are you just anything? Just you know something like that? Not even No, I'm not gonna say a bar. I'm gonna say a club. You have no desire anything to go back to a club at all. No, No, clubs are loud and obnoxious and full of smoke from cigarettes, and I can't deal with that crap. You haven't been

to a club since the nineties. What clubs have cigarettes anymore? Dude? They not. I don't know. Nobody has cigarettes indoors for the most I would think, like America, that's casinos. Well, let me tell you something. When I do my my girls' nights, you know, once every two three months with my girlfriend Betty, and we go to like we're Godda or something. We're

walking through the casino. Now. We wake up early, right, We get up at like five am because that's when no one's out and you can get like any machine that you want right. You have to see the girls coming out of the club doing the walk of shame holding the shoes. I would love to be there for that. Absolutely. The dresses are like up their underwears hanging out their bras halfway off. It's hilarious. I've seen it many times.

I'd love to see it again. Well, go to Borgana at five am and look at these people and it's hilarious. And no, I don't miss any of that stuff. When is Betty coming on the show? Would you like to have her on? I would love to have her on. She's traveled around to a lot of places. I think that would be a lot of fun to have you two talking on that. Okay, I will ask her then I will ask her to come on. And yeah, I met I mean I met her a couple of times, so I think she would be a good you guys

have a great you know, goofy rapport together. She's she's like my best my best friend. We talk all the every day and very very very close. We met through her husband, who was one of the money guys at the Chill Cherry Hill convention Monster Mania. It was the Monster Mania Okay, yeah, yeah, like five or six years ago. But it's funny because I had actually met her. I don't want to take her too much time. I met her when I did my charity show when I was

pregnant with my daughter. Yea, they came to the arena when I ran that show, and that's the first time I met them, but never never stayed in touch or whatever. I met them. They came as fans, and when I worked with her husband, he said, oh, you like slot machines, you should talk to my wife handed me the phone and then we become inseparable ever since. So that's great. Yeah, I'll have I'll get her on here. She she actually knows a lot of people in the business, so she

probably Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She would be great because she's she travels to a lot of shows. And well, there you go. She's Betty. If you're listening her coming the show. I'll call her after this and I'll tell her all right, cool, all right? How about this one? Joseph Donovan three asked, have you ever ever taken part in an arm wrestling match? No? I have, not, not even a gimmicked one, not even a part of a an in ring altercation. Arm wrestling contest. No, I don't

believe so in wrestling. I probably tried to arm wrestle like my niece or something when we were kids, but no, nothing like uh. I think it was Sonny versus Marlena when they did the gimmick all with arm wrestling. Now, I never had to do anything like that, So that's a good one. That's the night e c W came to uh to raw? Was that night? Oh? Was it? Well? There you go wow at Darren Gunter one. I think I should wish he should be banned from asking questions.

What's your favorite place to vacation? Come on, come on, Darren Gunter. Is this your first time listening Darren Gunter? Of course it's Disney World. I mean, my goodness, Although I must say, uh, I don't have a bucket list, but if I did, Hawaii is on my my bucket list. Never been, never been to Hawaii. I love to go. You what, I haven't been either, So now I'm asking, I'm asking it like I've been there. I'm like, you know, no, that's it's just beautiful looking. I really would love to

go there someday. But I think if I had a choice between Disney and Hawaii as crazy as it sounds, I would pick Disney World because I love it too much. Probably I agree. I think it's a better I love it. Yeah, all right, Gorilla Press driver at GP Underscore Driver asked, do you like yacht rock? So I don't like yacht rock, but my husband loves it, and when we are in the pool, he will put it on serious and then all me and my kids like, really, get this off

because it's sleepy. We called sleepy time music. It's just the worst. He's laughing. He's right there and he's just laughing at me. He I think he has a little yacht rock group that he talks to. I think Joel's in it. Ye Meani Meani, Brian Hefron, Meani, Joel Gertner, my husband Sebastian. Yeah, there's a bunch of them that's in that stupid club. I think the music is awful, So now I don't like it. I gotta be honest with you. I didn't know yacht rock was like a

sub genre of rock. I didn't even know it was something new every day, very slow. I think if I had to fall asleep. Oh it's smooth, he just told me. Oh so An example would be Christopher Cross's I would rather listen. I would rather listen to someone's head being squished in a vice than Christopher Cross's sand I'm telling you, when you're when you're in a party mood and you're in your pool and you want to spend like two three hours and then that comes on, you're like dying

your tube. You think you're going to pass out because it's so slow and boring. I can't get into it. So no, silly Away, No, not that one. That one s living and that song isn't bad. But I just for three four hours, I can't. I just can't. Michael Jackson's Thriller is acceptable yacht rock, no way, but Fleetwood Max Rumors is not. Now whoever wrote that is on crack for this is the Wikipedia. No, I disagree with that wholeheartedly. That's not true. But Dan, I got I

got a lot to learn ont rock. I wouldn't waste my time. All right, you said it, I'm moving on. Give it next, all right? This is at the Blue Rooster three as one of the top valets in the apex of the Valet era. Why do you think the roles of managers in valets has diminished over the years in wrestling. Is that a good or a bad thing? And will the manager make a comeback? Well, thank you sir for putting me in that category. I am thrilled with that. I when it comes to that, I feel

like WWE wants all of their girls to be like wrestlers. Yeah, and they just have this, you know, never ending like locker room that they can throw out girls just to have like a bunch of matches. I know when I was there, I wanted to be a manager and they had no I mean they did it a little with balls. I don't know how far it would have went. If if you know, his drunk test would have been negative instead of positive, we would have had maybe a different result.

I feel like we've said this, managers add so much to a match, whether it be a female or a male. You never know what's gonna happen when somebody is standing outside, especially when there's two people standing outside, because you know there's gonna be a spot where they get into it. So I love, I love the role of a manager or a valet. I just feel like they should bring it back. I don't think it's used enough. I and

I don't watch the product product right now. But I know people ask me this all the time, why do you feel so I know they're not using the girls in that capacity, but like for the girls who aren't getting so much a push or aren't as polished wrestlers, why can't they put them as managers? Right? You know

what I mean? They can bomp obviously if they're if they're female workers, they'll be able to bump, so they probably would get over more her as a manager than a you know, an actual wrestler for the girls that you know that that aren't Charlotte Flair or Sasha Banks or you know whatever. It's just my two cents, but I love I loved it. I loved it. The perfect example of that is Lana. Lana when she did the Ravishing Russian was perfect, as you know, the character from

Rocky four. You know, she was perfect in that role. And I guess they've transitioned her into being a wrestler when you know, I don't think that that's her dreams or aspirations of a career where she could have been on the outside and made a mint being the valet. And I think that they and they even paired with Dolf Ziggler were talking about him before, and I think wherever she was kind of moved to worked in the valet role, but now they want her to be a

wrestler instead. So yeah, they just want everybody to be a wrestlers and very very strange. I don't know. I mean, if that's what she wanted and that's what she pitched was to work more than she got it, and and kudos to you forgetting what you want. But I just feel like for those who aren't thriving, instead of just letting them sit in the back, you're paying them anyway,

put them at ringside. You know, there's a lot of guys who could use an extra boost, and having a female by your side that it never hurts, you know, So I think especially in WWE world, where Miss Elizabeth was never put in the ring in a match, she was always no matter what, on the outside, and when WCW made her a somewhat regular performer in the ring, it just didn't bit, you know, and you gotta I did like that because she was a different character than

she was in true true, true, okay, completely different character. She was never a heel and it showed a different side of her. I love to see women work, So Steve Liz go in there and actually do stuff. It popped me because she Please don't take this out of context. She's an icon in the sport, but her character didn't do anything. Yeah, no, it really didn't. She no to me. She was a beautiful woman, she had great facial expressions, but did she really add to the match? You know

what I mean? Like you can count on your hands the times that she did. So it's like the time she did do it, everybody can remember. So they picked the spots. She takes the skirt off at ringside and has the you know, the the orange underwear or whatever underneath her skirt. You know, it's like that was just about everybody remembers. I just feel like, if you're gonna have somebody outside, they should be helping their man and they should be doing I'm not saying she had to

bump all over the place. That wasn't my point. At least let her, you know, do something. I just I loved If you had the two side by side, I would pick NWOL Elizabeth over Beauty Queen Elizabeth. Yeah. I did like NWOL Elizabeth. I love her, you know. Oh yeah, with the t shirt with the sparkles like yeah, yeah, and she proved, you know, years later when she's an older woman. She proved that she could do stuff. So why didn't they make her do anything before? I mean

she got over. I guess she got over without doing anything. But I don't know. I just feel like it's such a waste when you have somebody out there and they don't do anything. You know, maybe it was the macho many have been. I didn't want her to get physically involved like that. It could have been. And believe me, I I love her. I think she's an icon. I'm probably gonna get shipped on for my opinion, but I

prefer nWo Elizabeth over Prissy Elizabeth. I don't want her to take any tonight only no how hey man, good, save your body. But she was more fun in WCW for sure. Yeah, absolutely all right? How about this one at BVT underscore, Vermont asked, did you really have a crush on Spike Dudley? Lol? Who didn't have a crush

on Spike Dudley? No? I never had a crush on Spike Dudley, although he was a dear friend and I think Spike was adorable, but never liked him romantically, Okay, I think he was just being a wise ass with that question. Spikes, I mean those you know, the glasses you know there, the scrunch face Spike is adorable. I love them, all right. I'm going to attempt this name at Jugga Jue forty two zero M. E. R. Wants to know, how are you doing today? Oh? I'm doing splendidly.

I wish I could ask you back, Jugga, but you know I can't. When reached for comment, Jugga had no response. All right. At c w F eighty four, you've briefly, briefly spoken about Nancy Benoit, I think, even saying you were cane by her in one of your first appearances. What was it like working with her? Nancy was a very very nice woman. I did work. I think I only worked with her that one time, and she did get whack me in the back with the cane at a house show somewhere. I don't know where we were.

I just remember one thing I remember about Nancy is when we would everybody knows, we would do like our promos super late at night, and Nancy would sometimes partake in a little cocktail and by the end of it she'd be singing, be singing songs to us while we all sat there, like Moon River song, you know. But she she was a very very dear woman and that story really shook my core. That's very very heartbreaking. So

oh I hate it. See, I know you you know, we've talked about Dark Side of the Ring and you know we don't really like the concept of it. But I think you would like the part of her sister in the documentary because the sister really gave what you just described as a description of her and cover that, excuse me, in the documentary. I thought that was the best part of the Dark Side of the Ring. Yeah, and I'm sure I would, but put everything together, Yeah,

and then you watch the whole piece. Yeah, I can't do it. I just can't do that. So but she she was sweet, you know, very very sweet lady. All right at Brian C. Donovan one, what was the best ecd do you show or pay per view? Well, I've I have to say it again. I mean, for me, it was barely legal ninety seven. The first one. It's just I can't even you know, it just told us, hey, you know where we made it to the dance Like Paul would say, and we were so excited for the future.

And who knew, like, not even four years later it would be our demized. But you know, we were very hopeful. And that night stands out not only for you know, Paul's speech, which you can watch I think on YouTube. I think it's from Beyond the mat, but just the first time working live and the jitters and everybody was just so excited and it was just we were always a family, but that night we were just so much closer and everybody just wanted to just you know, knock

it out of the park. And I'll never forget it. It was thirty five, I've you know, forty different wrestlers, crew members, fifty however, many people as one entity that night. Yeah, and you see that in the speech. You see that everybody is like this, you know, ready to go at it. Yeah, we all looked like Paul's disciples. You drank the kool aid? Hello? How many times did they tell you I hate that expression? Come on, I know That's why I said it. It's horrible. Now,

you drank the kool aid. You know, you just if you believe in something, you wanted to work and I believed I believed in our product. I believed in our locker room, and I I, along with everybody else, did as much as we could to keep it afloat. But sadly I got you. We talked about that show very much. I know, all right. How about this one from Axel six seven? Have you ever met Stratus and what are your opinions of her? I have met your Stratus and

she was very nice. Uh didn't really talk to her much, but we were in the same locker room because when I worked for WWE, I had to go to raw and SmackDown tapings. So all I remember is a fan had sent her this huge basket and it had like chocolates, and she was going around Linden, Linden, Lindor, Lindor wan a Lindor. I want to Lindor. And she shoved it into my face. She want a lind Door. I'm like, no, thank you. She's trying to get rid of the chocolate.

But she was, she was sweet, She was she seemed like a nice girl. Some people may say that that chocolate was very stratisfying. I didn't need it, so I couldn't tell you. How about at Little bood to twenty, Why was Chris Candido never world champion. I asked that question all the time. I think he was super deserving. I think if you think about one of the most underrated talents ever in this sport, his name has to cross your lips. He was good at everything. There wasn't

one thing that that man could not do. He did it all. And I know, you know, Paul put the tag straps on him, but I feel like he should have had a run at the world title and it would have been great if you know, him and Shane banged heads like him and Bam Bam did. Yeah, because I feel like Chris could have carried that belt. I think I think it would have been a great angle. And they had that in XPW, but it didn't have the same that's because well, you know, it didn't have

the same feeling. It just it was not the same. It was just not the same you know, momentum there could have been had that been three years earlier. Yeah, I feel like with with Tammy and I there, and it would naturally possibilities would have been endless. But I just feel like, you know, Shane losing to Chris would have been just unbelievable, unbelievable, great we could have did. We could have did so much with it. So yeah,

I'm down with that. He should have been, yeah, at the top, because that would have been the best place for that to happen at that time. He couldn't win the WWF Championship or w C wouldn't he wouldn't have fit in that model, but in ECW he could have. Well, because you know, Vince likes everybody to look like brock Lesner and bigger than life. And you know, Candida was

not a tall guy. He was in shape. You know, he had a great body, but he wasn't this you know, six ft four giant that Vince has a hard on for. But technical wrestling, like he was just he could do it all. He was He could do the comedy, he could do the straight man. He cut promos like nobody's business like. He just the psychology. He knew it all.

He was so freaking talented. And I just feel like a lot of the times I look back, and you know, Shane kept that bell even when he was injured, and like Chris, we should have been stripped and Chris should have ran with that. Yeah, that would have been great to come back to. You know, but I'm not the booker, So you're not I'm not the booker, all right. A couple more at Big Rick Go Blue wants to know

what is your favorite city to do a show in. Well, back in the day, it used to be for Larder Hill, only because of the afterlife that we partook in at the time. Well, yeah, I said this before. We'd go down early, we'd come home late, you know, stay a couple of days and just have a ball. There would be a club called Tens that we'd go to and we got tattoos, and we would go to the beach and there was just so much to do. And Fort Lauderdale loved us. They loved d CW. So the houses

were always packed. It's just a fun, fun time. But I haven't been there in quite a while, so it'll be a road show. Why don't do a roadshow to Fort Lauderdale road show? My days are well that then I would have to go back to my clubbing days and that's not happening. There you go, there, you gods. Oh man. All right, Our good buddy Rob at Francine Fan E c W wants to know if you could be any Disney character for a week, who would it be,

and why gosh, let me be the Evil Queen. Let me because she is the epitome of al I love her. And if the stupid outfit wasn't so freaking expensive, I would love to cosplay her, but it's so it's so expensive. But yeah, she is the epitome of the Disney villains. I love the Evil Queen. I love her. I always mix up the Evil Queen and Maleficent. Maleficent has the horns, has the horns, but they for some reason, I just always go right to them, and that the girls love descendants.

Maleficent is in the hierarchy of the villains a little bit higher than the Evil Queen, because mal is higher than Evie, the Evil Queen's daughter. But if you watch the movie, the Disney Live Action Maleficent movies, Maleficent is a babyface. In both films. It takes a spin on the original Sleeping Beauty, so she is not depicted as a villain. She has depicted as a heroine. And I'll tell you what I cried at both films. You said

that before are excellent, and I love them. But the Evil Queen is you know, snow white, and you don't see any hair. She's just got that thing. She looks like a nun kindness, she's got that thing around her face. She's just oh, she's so deliciously evil and I just love her so much. And my kids, my kids are like, well, why do you like the bad people? And then my daughter goes, oh, because you were a heel and wrestling, like maybe, I don't know, he'ls have more fun. Now.

Have you ever seen the erotic thriller Sleeping Beauty? What there's a porn No, no, no, no, it's just a clever title. It's about basically a prostitute who is drugged and is knocked out for all of her you know, occurrences. But it's called Sleeping Beauty. Oh, so they take the Disney thing and put like a modern twist on it. Yes, sort of. It might be on Netflix. I can't remember where we saw it, but it was, yes, probably I

saw it before that. It's uh yeah, but you know it's it's more it's not even I will I'm downplaying it. It's actually a very well put together movie. It's not like a cheap o you know, like probably filmed in like two days, you know, in somebody's backyard in California. This is like a high end you know, like motion picture. But yeah, we classified as an erotic thriller. Okay, No, I've never seen it. I'm sure there's a sleeping beauty porn out there? Are you kidding me? Absolutely? Is all right?

Two more at I underscore, am underscore mer Martin. Excuse me? Merman wants to know about mister Martin. Uh. Why do you think Shane had such a short run in the w w F Was he miscast with a bad gimmick? Or is it because he was a big fish or he was a big fish in a big pond. I think he might say, a small fish in a big pond.

I mean from the stories I've heard, and I'm not gonna say who told me, but I heard that a lot of people disliked him and put the kbosh on him, right that's the that's the rumor going around, So you know, maybe that was a factor. I don't know. You'd have to ask him I have. I didn't know him at that time, so I I just know the stuff that I've heard. I think he was talented enough to make

it there. But I you know, the Dean Dougas gimmick was supposed to be a reflection because he was a teacher and all that stuff, but sometimes you don't put real life into a fantasy ord so, you know, making him the arrogant asshole that you all know and love for MEDW I think was a better fit than a teacher. He did it in both voices. They wanted him in a monotone voice, and he did it in the franchise voice, and Vince hated the franchise voice for that character. He

wanted monotone, monotone, monotone. And Shane said, well, hey, if I'm a viewer and I hear somebody talking like that, I'm going to change the channel because I'm not interested in what they're saying. But Vince had a thing for a teacher growing up that he hated that had a monotone voice and instructed you to do things and that manner. So that's why it was. It was death from the start, absolute death. Plus I think there were you know when

he wrestled Scott Hall and oh yeah, they've sand bagged him. Yeah, there are a bunch of problems. So I mean, do I think he had the talent to stay there? Yes, But from what he told me, he didn't want to be there, so you take it chance because you don't know until you try, right, So you go there hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. That's what I did. I'm sure that's what he did as well. It happens to the good people, in my opinion, I think so.

So I'm serious. Every person that you know I still talk to or you know, has a similar story. They were all the good people. I don't know. They have great experiences in the wrestling business, but everybody you know, I'm serious, it's like it's just it's a certain kind of personality doesn't seem to jive and you know, I don't know's I don't know. It's just my take, all right. Last one at Mostly for Chicks wants to know any plan to return to the Apron when all the COVID

met madness settles. Any plans to put more booty picks on OnlyFans side note, I hope you make it to Disney this year. Never been myself, but listening to your pod has me wanting to take the FAM for twenty one. Oh yeah, well, yes, thank you so much. Let's see, first pick, what was the first question? Uh, do you plan to return to I just crazy that you ask I just took a book. What a coincidence. But I

don't have the information in front of me. But the weekend of I believe it's eleven, November twenty first, No, November twentieth is the show, Okay, Yes, the November twentieth is a live show, which is a Friday. The twenty first is a Facebook live for Shane and I that

will be doing a virtual meet and greet. But yeah, the twentieth, I am returning to the ring with Shane Douglas And I'll have more information next week and I can list the details, but we're doing It's supposed to be a small show, like forty guests or forty fans rather, and you know, social distancing will have and no touching masks are supposed to be worn, so I couldn't pass

it up. Really, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna be like in my own I'm gonna pretend that there's like I'm gonna zap people if they come too close to me, like a dog collar thing, and everybody has to stay away from me, and but it'll be a good time. So yeah, I would assume you're the heel. So are you I'm assum you're the baby face if you were the heel. Oh you're not, because I would have it if you're a heel, get a stick. I don't know if if we're gonna come in, I would assume we're

gonna be babyfaces. That night, we're doing a meet and greet for the VIPs beforehand. So I was told like social distancing people are wearing masks, that kind of thing, because remember, my mom is here, and that's the one thing. Like I didn't even sleep. I took the booking yesterday and I had such troubled sleeping list because I felt guilty that I took this booking because I'm like, am I putting my family in danger? And then I said, okay, well it's five weeks away. Maybe things will be a

little better in five weeks. But then I also said, well, you're supposed to social distance, you're supposed to wear a mask. That's what I'll do. And hopefully they're doing temperature checks at the door. Hopefully if people don't feel well, they will stay home, you know what I mean. And we'll see how this goes. But I'm nervous about it. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, I'm curious to see how it all goes down. It's definitely, it's definitely an interesting one.

I mean, think about almost a full year since you last worked outside of the home, so it's I'm really you know, a knock on wood. I hope everything goes like it's supposed to, but I am I'm very curious to see how this goes Yeah, me too, So we'll see what happens. But I'm going to be one hundred percent careful, that's for sure. Sure. Yeah, all right, Well that's it for questions, So if you want to hit Disney before we wrap up. So Disney wasn't too bad

this week. Not too much information. The only thing that I saw, And I know you have a little tidbit that you want to say too, But I mentioned before that they there wasn't going to be any restrictions with the park, and now they're saying they're capping in at twenty five percent again because they realize that you cannot social distance if it's not capped. So how could they

not realize that before? That's my question, Like they didn't realize that if they they opened it at one hundred percent capacity, you're not going to be able to social distance. You know, that's kind of silly. So now they're coming out and saying, well, we're going to go back to twenty five cents twenty five percent capacity because they want to encourage social distancing. So that kind of changed from the story that I read last week. So that, I

mean even possible makes it harder. Yeah, I mean, you know, well, if you're one hundred percent, you know, the crowds there, you've been there before. There's no way you can social distance. It's impossible until masks are you know, banned and things get back to normal. I think a lot of people are just going to be staying away anyway. And I know the reservation system is making people angry. They can't get the days they want. It's a nightmare. So certain

hotels are still closed. Disneyland is still closed. They have no idea when they're going to open Disneyland, and they are. There's a rumor going around that a lot of jobs are going to be laid off again with Disney Disneyland in California, So expect layoffs happening because there's no work in sight anytime soon. That's terrible. Yeah, that's that's terrible. Rough.

The other story was that Disney slaps racist racism mornings on classic films Peter Pan, Dumbo, and The Jungle Book due to negative racial depictions and mistreatment of people of cultures. So are they breaking it down? Like? What is the Peter Pan? So the four examples I have here is Peter Pan mocks native people, The Jungle Book implores negative racial stereotypes, Lady in the Tramp features dogs with ethnic names, and uh plays piano with the chopsticks. That is is

that is that Cinderella? Which one is the one where the I don't know why I'm blanking right now. Let me see if I can expand it. So an Asian reference, because yeah, it is time out. It's right, come on, switch go, that's not going. Oh there, it is aristocrat aristocrats, that's what it is. Film about a group of musical felines.

Disney warns viewers about a scene where one of the cats, who is voiced by a white actor, chants out stereotypical Chinese words while playing the piano with chopsh My goodness, So what are they are they going to edit these scenes? I mean they're out there, they're placing a warning. Oh, just a warning, okay, placing a warning. The lead crow in Dumbo is called Jim Crow. You know, I mean like Jim Crow referring to racial laws of uh you know that time period. My thing is, it's the time

period when the movies are made. It is not done to be malicious. It's not done to to be I would say overtly racist. It's done in the vein of the time. You can't censor what already happened. Are we supposed to now not refer to historical things that you know? I think? Are they going to take the scene out of the ride on Peter Pan where the Indians are having a little palwall and you know what I mean, like, are things going to just be removed from rides like

they did to red in pirates? Are they could jim Jim Crow? Or it's based off of segregation laws. So that's why I didn't even know that Peter Pan. The viewers warned that the Native Americans are referred to as Redskins. But guess what the Indians refer to the you know, Peter Pan has pale face. There's a football team called the Washington right, Well did they Oh no, no, no, not anymore. They are now called they are now called the Washington Football Team. I know, which is the dumbest

name I've ever heard. It's a very very basic, yeah, generic name. Yeah, I know, I don't like that, but I mean, it's just everything that's a classic is just I don't know, everybody's so sensitive, super duper sensitive. I don't know. But that's that's it. So they're not removing it. They're just putting a warning, which you know, look, you know, WWE puts warnings on classic content that it has blood and some crude language and whatever. So it's just but

you know what I mean. I watched The Simpsons on Disney Plus, and there's a lot of stuff in The Simpsons that you could construe as being at that time period controversial. There's no warning. Not only not only a Pooh, there's you know, there's some other races that are depicted in a now controversial way. And they ancusing him as an example. Yeah, well poo has been I think he's just been completely written off of the Simpsons. I don't even think they use I don't. I think they took

him away. Yeah, because there was a whole documentary done about Indian Americans or Hindu America. I don't know what they're A poo's I think to be Hindu, like saying that this character caused a whole generation of stereotypes for that you know group of people. I see. Well, I've said it a million times. Disney is very dark. There are a number of things that we can pick and

we need to do a whole episode on Disney. We need to do a painteone because there are a lot of weird, cryptic messages in Disney movies that people probably don't even realize they're in there, but they're in there. So another time, Yeah, another time, that'd be great. But let's talk about what we got going on on Patreon this week, being that it is football season and your

Eagles are in full swing. One of the things I wanted to do a few weeks back, and we saved it for this week was football player or ports sorry fun one? Yeah when outloaded with facts this time, Franny, I got tons of facts. Yes, I like when you have facts. That makes it all the more better. Okay, I'm ready. I didn't do any studying or anything, so bring it on. Because I know nothing, and there are a few that are pretty difficult, Like even for me looking back at the list, I had to remember, oh

that's right, okay, right, And how about this one? We mentioned it a few minutes ago, secret YouTube obsessions, and you know mine because I had to send it to you, but I don't know yours. So I'm interested to see what that little head of yours is thinking. So yes, it encompasses one of my biggest fears out there. Really, so I'll just leave it at that fear is an obsession well, because yes, yes you'll. I'll explain why when

we take a look at it. But it's it's basically like you get like double watch along this week because not only I'm an itch of my nose, I'm sorry, I'm not picking it, I'm scratching it. I have what's Itchy knows me? Do? Am I getting money? He just flung a booker across his room. It's I don't know what the hell is going on? What's it? She knows? Is it money? Is it good luck? What is it? Left hand? Itchy is money? Right hand? Is a fight?

Your nose? You're just scratching, scratching my nose. So yeah, so we'll look at secret YouTube obsessions how about this for the watch along, you were there, but you weren't in this. I couldn't find anything with you involved. But it's a good it's definitely a good topic. It's relevant to what happened this past week. Chris Jericho in ECW, he just celebrated so many times, but there's no nothing outside of the one four Way. There's nothing where you're

at ringside that I could find on television. So we'll talk about him because this is thirty years of Jericho. They just celebrated on AW, So we'll talk about Chris Jericho in ECW. I pulled up a match versus Taz. It's like seven minutes, but it's just good for us to talk over and you know, get an idea. There was one match that I could find with Pitbull two, but you weren't a ringside for it, and it was before all this stuff happened in the Fatal four Way

or the four Way Dance. Yeah, I know Shane worked with them, and uh, well we've talked about earlier. That's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll talk about that. So this is a cool and we did talk about it with Shane on on Triple Threats. It's another reason why I wanted to see what you had to say about Jericho because it was a different Chris Jericho then than what it is now sort I mean personality wise maybe not, but in terms of his career. Yeah, yeah,

so interesting. Okay, yeah, we'll do that. So you want to follow me, it's at Chad E and B. Check out all our Patreon stuff.
