This is I here, and you're listening and watching a brand new Eyes up Here live on YouTube, on our Patreon channel, Patreon dot com, Class Francine Podcast, and on the Creative Control Network in audio format. And as always, I'm the Chad Star, and I'm joined by the one and only What does that say? It says wrestling girls kick ass. A wrestling girl who kicks ass, the one and only Queen of Extreme Francyton. Hello, Hello, everyone. I hope everybody's having a lovely evening. And Uncle Brian's in

the house. I just saw that. Hello, and I just saw him while we were on our little break. All right, Well, everybody's trickling and welcome, Welcome. It's great to be back on YouTube. It's been a while. I haven't seen the Chad st or really talk to you that much. It's a little bit, a little bit little dribs and drabs here and drubs. But what's what's new in your neck

of the woods here? Well, when we last recorded, we were wrapping up I think it was just the Eyes up Here broadcast, and I had my daughter, my little daughter come up and start asking me about cat toys or what can a cat? Do you have a piece of yarn? Yeah? That was it. Yeah, yes, for a piece of yarn. And I said, well, I don't know why, so well if I need it for a cat. Well, fast forward about ten days later and we are now the proud owners of a little three and a half

month old kitty with an interesting name. We never intended to keep it. Originally, we were pegging this cat as heading to Washington to be with my brother because he was actually looking to get a cat. But the kids fell in love with the cat and we had to make an executive decision and take the cat back, and they keel in you. It was more of a big brother slash dad moment where I had to speak and

just say, you know, this is for the kids. I can't rightfully take this away from them, but yes, we have a three and a half month old kiddy name Frankie Noodles Lindor Kitty. What the hell that's the name of the cat? Door because Chocolate no after Francisco Lindor, the baseball player. My daughters got together to name them that huge conglomeration. But Noodles is from their uncle. Now, how do you know it's a boy? Obviously? How do

you know? No, girl, it's a girl. And you named it all those weird names, Frankie, I'm just calling it the cat, okay. So and did you take her to the vet? Yes, we did, okay, And that's how did you get her spain and neutered and all that good stuff in the process of doing all that. So now it has an interesting backstory though, and it's kind of crazy. So this is a stray cat, uh, taken in by a neighbor of ours, right for a week. They have dogs,

The dogs did not get along with the cat. These assholes put the cat back outside and just the pictures you sent me, the cat was weird like. And my wife said it came up to the little window we have on the front door and was like scratching, so she heard it went out and the rest is history.

So the neighbors just didn't want the cat. They let it back out, and uh, it came to our house and I kept we kept it outside for about four days and uh yeah, like on the we we have a screened in porch, so it was living a nice little screened in porch life. They they said at the vet that they call it something when it's a screened in porch for the cat. But long story short, we brought it in because it's so freaking hot in Virginia

that it's now. I bought it at a little house, I say, but I've got it a dog crate that's now a cat crate, do you lover? I never wanted a cat ever. I thought we would be dog people eventually. You know my feelings on pets in general. I'm existing with the cat. I don't love the cat, but I love that the kids and my wife have taken to the cat, and it's been very, very joyous for us. See,

I adore cats, and I want a lap cat. I want a cat that's going to follow me everywhere, sit on my lap all day, like per rub me, love me, and I'm not allowed. So I'm very jealous of you right now. And I wish you would rubble, you know, a little bit of that onto the hubs because he's so adam about now. You have to have a kind of organic situation happened we we've talked about in the house. You know, my aunt passed away a few weeks ago. There was a little cat that they used to play

with with the girls at my grandma's house. That we've now said that the my aunt helped lead the cat to the house after she passed away. You know the spirit. But the cat watches baseball. Well, you're you're you got a buddy there. It's crazy. You know MLB networks on other channels are on that produce news that we watch in this house, and it literally at the baseball is like this. What if you're sitting there and the cat Frankie comes over and sits on your lap, Are you

going to push him or her off you? Or are you going to start to be like, Oh, I haven't I'm fearing the allergy factor. I actually I haven't touched the cat once. Okay, you had it. I'm just afraid because when we first got it, it rubbed up against my leg and my leg was like all irritated. So I'm very afraid of the allergy factor. Now here's a weird thing. And we had another neighbor friend tell us this.

I guess over time, you start to coexist a little bit and you I guess assimilate somewhat to the cat in a way, your allergies kind of subside. A little. Yeah. The first couple of days, I couldn't see like I was young. Oh, I like a balloon. I'd have to get the shots and take the allergy pills. Look what our good friend Lawn says, Yeah, just what'd you name

the cat? Misus Miller. I didn't have a choice in the name, but yeah, well, my older daughter loves Francisco Lindor, the the baseball player y, so her uncle was going to take Frankie as tribute to that. He liked noodles, so we kept noodles. So it was Frankie Noodle's lindoor kitty. Okay, well, adorable, adorable, lots of happy years ahead for you with this new found joy you sent me in the picture. I was like, he's doomed that cat is. It's staying forever. So cute.

Look how cute. Oh I'm so jealous. I'm so jealous in my life that I want that I can't have. The second night that the cat was here, Uncle Brian was coming through with his two dogs that were visiting as we all were in New Jersey for the services. Yeah, oh man, those dogs knew that the cat was being hidden on the deck. We had panels to block out the light. Oh they knew. They were ready to pounce on that thing. It was. It was very, very funny, But I felt bad for the dogs because they like

to go outside through the porch. Well I'm jealous. That's all I'm gonna say. Before we get into my crazy couple weekends. Do you want to discuss surprise for the sevening? I absolutely do. You guys know that drill. Anybody who either gets a channel membership for five ninety nine or a super chat for five dollars or more. For every five dollars you spend, you go in the classic Charles chip jar and we pick at the end of the stream. He has a prize, but I also have a prize.

So let's show your prize first. You got it pretty cool. My prize is pretty cool because I had to track these down and literally go I leave. I bought these off a vendor in like Sweden or something, because these were not United States releases. This is Francine's first official tops WWE trading card. It's called WWE Payback, signed by Francine. This is only available internationally and we got this tonight

as a prize. Very popular in Australia. And Sweden. Yeah, it was, and it was like to I had to catch feel like the shipping. It was kind of crazy, but I secured a handful of these and this one is for some lucky winner tonight. Okay, so we have that gem. But if the bidding goes over one hundred dollars, I have something that's very special. I was cleaning out my walking closet the other day and I came across two two actually two packs of wrestling figures that Shannon

Daphne had once she gifted me. So here, I'll show you the one and I kind of broke down when I found them because I really haven't seen them since she passed. They were put away in my closet. But it says to my queen, my bestie, this figure would have never happened without you. I love you forever, Shan, will never ever, ever, ever ever get rid of this. I will keep this forever because it means the world to me. But for some reason, I have a second

one she only signed. Maybe we were supposed to give this to somebody, or she was supposed to take get home, but it just has always keeps screaming love Shan. There's no inscription. There's nothing written, but there is. Her real name is signed on it. So I'm assuming we were supposed to do something with this and we never did. And I have it, and I feel like it should go to a good home. And I know there's a lot of Daphne fans out there who would love to

get this. So if the bidding reaches one hundred dollars and we go over, then this will be up for grabs as well. And it's a two pack. It's Stevie Richards and Daphne. Hey, Michael, Michael's wrestling channel. Your birthday is this Sunday? Can I get a birthday? Absolutely? Happy birthday to you, Michael. And you're going into Charlie chip Jar. So we're five we're five dollars closer. But I just feel like, like I said, I will never give away my copy because I mean, it means so much to me.

But this one, you know, Yeah, that's great. I didn't even remember that she had a TNA figure, so that's right, and it's her real name. When does she sign She never signed Shan at all, So this is kind of this is really special and we'll see what we can do with this. This evening. But this will be up for graps if we can get is that doctor Stevie or just Stevie Richards? This will is he doctor Stevie on that one? You know he's in black tights, he's

just in plain black, plain black tights, no shirt. I don't know, cross Across the Line series, Across the Line. Yeah, it was the name of their their figure series, and that was like, yeah, like there's a deluxe impact. I don't know, I don't know what's going on. Well, yeah, doctor Stevie was his character for a while there. Yeah. But oh we also have Dan Lemley with the super Chat, So Dan, you're also going to go in the Charles

chip Yard. Thank you so very much. I'm going to write your names down here and if anybody you know, like I said, wants a super chat or a channel membership, channel membership, you get the cool emojis. We were just speaking about that. We decided on doing a private next week. Correct, correct, So for anybody who signs up for the channel memberships, we need your email addresses and we're going to send you links and we're going to do a private next week.

So consider that. Christy with the five dollars super Chat. Thank you, gall you are going in the Charles chip yard as well. I have to write all your names down, and guess what, I don't even know, Yes I did. I don't even have a pen. So let's get this going. I'm gonna write your names and we're gonna go back. We're gonna talk about my weekend. What did we discuss last? It was? Uh? Oh boy? I mean you UT's where

was I? You know? Okay? So you got when when I When you and I last recorded, it was Sunday night, So you were in New York that weekend. So I believe we did talk about New York. You guys went to the wrong venue, That's what it was. Okay. Hold on. We also have a five dollars super chat from Line High, Fabulous, Rancne and Chad. Did you hear about the Origami Wrestling event?

It was shown on pay per view? Lone. I don't know if you make these up on your own or get them out of a book, but you're very witty and we love you. I'm just gonna let it die there for a minute. Do we wish Michael a happy birthday? I believe we did. We did, Yes, Birthday? Do you happy birthday, do you okay? Or we all caught up here? I think we're caught up okay. So so on the podcast, you were with Shane and Hack and Queens. You and Shane went to the wrong No, you and Salmon went

to the wrong venue and Shane was at the right one. Okay. So then we did talk about Ohio. We talked about Ohio, which, if you're on this YouTube channel and you have seen the previous videos, you've seen that the part one of the Ohio Adventure with the Salman has been posted in vlog format. Part two coming tomorrow, but it features the second half of that trip in Erie, Pennsylvania, which this is if this was like a if we were a sitcom, this would be a vehicle. This would be a vehicle

for the Salman to have a spin off. I'm telling you, Salman and I together are gold. I will take myself out and put Salmon in every week if I could. I wish you could have heard our conversation he called me last night, and then the conversation itself. I wish I would have recorded it, because you guys would They would have loved it. Yeah, So we went well, we went to New York. I guess I talked about that. So the next weekend, which was this weekend that just passed,

was the gathering in Charlotte, North Carolina. Just want to show you, guys, Wow, how nice my award is. That's nice, Like that should be right behind you very soon on the wall. It will be and Hobbes has to hang it up and we're going to hang it up right here. But let me just tell you. You know, I do a lot of these conventions, and I'd say about ninety percent of them are pretty good, you know what I mean. Yep.

I didn't know what to expect for this one because I've never done it before, and like Shane was telling me, like I did it a couple of years ago, you know, but it was under different ownership and all this stuff. Yeah, so Marty from Teamart is the one that handled this and I never at them before. Got in tail. Shane

was waiting for me at the airport. We got picked up with Jeff Jarrett and we got to all drive over together and I met Marty in the lobby and we had a dinner that evening because we were being honored, and you know, I just thought it was going to be like this little dick. I didn't know any details. Oh my goodness. First of all, I didn't even eat because of my braces. I was so concerned about getting food in my teeth. The food, yeah, exactly. The food

was incredible. Let me just put that over. The buffet had everything that you could actually want in you know, your dining experience. Of course I didn't need. I was really pissed off because I was kind of hungry. But like, each talent had seven people at their table. Okay, so I had my own table. Shane had his own table, like Kevin Sullivan had his own table. Bill After had his own table, Rock and Roll Express had their own two everybody just had their own table. And my gosh,

so professional, so great. Uh. I did not know that Mike Johnson was even there from PW Insider, and they announced him and he does this elaborate speech off the top of his head, doesn't even have anything written down, beautiful speech about Shane and I. I got so choked

up that I cried a little bit. So by the time I went on to the stage, my voice was like this because I was so overwhelmed with the kindness from everybody, and I had written a speech when I got to the hotel, but my phone kept locking up and going dark and you have to put your sixth digit code, and I was so nervous pushing the wrong buttons and got the police. You can't do this, Oh, I don't have face idding, but I had to. I did the speech off the top of my head and

that will be on YouTube as well. You guys can Yes, I can't wait too. I think we're gonna be about two weeks out from that night. Yeah, but what a night, What a beautiful night it was, and just so touching. The fans were wonderful. The talent was great, Marty was excellent. The convention on Saturday was one of the most well run conventions I've ever been to in my life. It was like we got there, there were certain times you

had to do something. So it was the first thing we did was there was an ECW banner, and Shane and I went, and it was for people who took pictures with their cell phones. Okay, had a long line for that. Then it was the professional photo booths where they took the picture and printed it out for you with a beautiful backdrop. Then we did that. Then I was escorted to the green room where I got to do all the mail orders. So then I did that. Then I was escorted to the super ticket room, where

the line was around. I mean it was down one wall, down another wall, out door, through the window, down Center City Street. The line was never ending. It was awesome. The place was packed. Everybody seemed like they were having a great time. I got to sit with Bill after and sign which he's just wonderful. Lily just makes me laugh all the time. But it was such a great, great time and I was so thankful to be a

part of it and so touched to be honored. And there we are, there we are so fun, so fun, kiddy. You guys look great. I mean, thank you Jane with the you know, with the vintage title. Yeah, gentlemen there had the belt and we were like, well, can we borrow are you hanging out? Can we borrow the belt for the sure? So he was like sure, and he was nice enough to let us use that belt for all the pictures. It looks fantastic. It was great. It was a great weekend. I loved it. Marty is just

top notch. He did a great job. And there's Dan the Man and it was. It was wonderful. I have no complaint. The only thing that was annoying to me was that my flight was delayed coming home again American, thanks so much. I got home super late, but at least I got home that day. So you know, this gentleman was at my convention I remember in Richmond. That's Bobby. He comes to all the southern things that I yes, yeah, he was in Richmond when you guys came to my convention. Way,

yeah day. Well, I you know, I have spies and attendance. Of course, they're everywhere. My two good friends, my two like longtime friends now Shane Francine. I am honored that you guys would give me the credit for keeping the name of ECW alive as well. So thank you very much. When did that happen because I must have missed the memo. Oh oh, somebody told me that you guys said, oh, it's all because of this one guy in our speeches. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I got multiple texts and messages.

Well I'll tell you I probably did, but my screen locked and I would maybe read that part, so I skipped it. So I apologize. Oh I'm kidding, of course, But now I heard. I heard so many great things about the weekend from vendors that were there and fans that went, and I just you know, i've been to it before. I told you that it's a cool setup. They got that thing across the way you can walk to some bars and restaurants. I love the venue and uh, I'm glad you guys had a great time. So we did,

and I hope to do it again. You know. I don't know if it'll be next year or down the line, but I would love to go back. And it was just a good time. We're good people, so lots of fun and we a. We had a great weekend, really good. Yes, we haven't even talked about anything off the air, so I'm curious to see how the weekend really was. Stuff that I can't say on the air. No, nothing. I mean, it went off without a hitch. It was great. You know. I had no complaints, Like I said, I just uh,

I didn't get to stay for the show. There. There was a little miscommunication when I was booked for the event. So Shane actually worked the show and Kimona actually managed him. Uh, Angela, say it, Angela. And now what we need is Samantha Samantha Angela with the five dollars super check. Congrats on your award friends scene. Well, thank you, doll, I uh appreciate that. And you, my dear, are going into the Charles Chip Jar and uh you might win a prize

tonight to thank you. I lost. I'd like to point out my great good friend Mike Durband of my der Van Productions to Get My Go Fame, has joined the chat. Hello Mike, good to see you here. Yeah, so I'm were you know, today was the last couple of days have been really busy. Shane and I have been getting a lot of requests for certain things. So I've been back and forth with people trying to see if we're available for this state, for the state, for the state,

so hopefully we have some stuff coming up. But there's interest and I'm still like we you know, in our speeches, I said thirty years I'm with you, Like what who I would have never thought in my twenties. Flash forward, I'm fifty years old. I'm still making the rounds with this guy, like amazing to me. It's just it's really

surreal and it's a blessing. You know, you there are certain people that you trust and like Shane Hack, there's only certain people I'll travel with, you know, and anymore I said it before, I'm not going to go to these shows by myself unless one of the guys are going with me. You know, I just won't do it. I don't feel comfortable. So he's, uh, he's very sharp. I've been talking to him a lot lately. He's yeah,

he's not right now, Shane is. He's on the money, and this is this is a great time for promoters to try to get you guys together because this is now. I could see it. I could see that, like very very clearly. Yeah. But I have to also point out, did they have the vaudeville stick on the side of the stage rihim as he was doing his speech? Where they No, But they didn't have it for another gentleman there?

Oh god, what was his name? Maybe I shouldn't even say who it was, to be honest with you, but he spoke for close to thirty minutes and somebody had to come up and pull them off the stead. I'm not lying when you might have been inebriated. So when mister t went long at the WWE Hall of Fame, they hit Cane's music and Glenn Jacobs had to come out and talk to him off mike. Yeah, I said, remember the old Game Show where they had the hook with the Gong Show the Gong Show. Yeah, that's what

I said. I said. I was telling the guys at my table. I was like, oh my god, remember showed the Dog Show where they put the hook out? Or at the Oscars they do this, they lower the mic and you hear da da da da. You hear the music and the lady comes and rushes them. Yeah. This gentleman just kept going and like he he went off track several times and was talking about things that didn't really go with the theme of the night or the person he was introducing. The whole it was just like,

oh my god. We were laughing and then you heard get them off the stage and I was like, oh wow, what you know? It was crazy, but there wasn't Shane. I think Shane's speech was less than four minutes. Really yeah interesting, I think so, And like I said, you'll see it. We have well I can't wait, Yeah, we have wait where. I just want to show this again for new people coming in. This is on the table for the super Chats. And the channel membership starting at

five dollars. This is your entry prize. The prize on Francine's side of the screen is once we hit the one hundred dollars level, this masterpiece comes into play. Explain what it is one more time. So this is a two pack. It is Stevie Richards and Daphney, but it is signed SHN and it was left at my house and it says always keep screaming love Shen and I saw it and I think it was supposed to be I don't know. I think I don't remember. It was

so long ago. I think she left it here when we went to New York the Restulicon in New York, because she stayed at my house. But she gave me this one that I'll never get rid of, and it's signed to me and personalized to me. But this one isn't personalized to anyone, but it is signed. So I thought it would be a very sweet prize for somebody. It needs a good home because I already have a set, and I thought maybe one of you guys would like it.

So super Chats will go towards this. Hopefully we get to where we need to be newest member of Patreon just came in the room. It's Hans and you will see Hans in our latest flog. Hans is there. Drove three hours to see me. So Hans, thank you so much. Again. It was a pleasure talking to you and your mom. And yes, he had a great cameo in the did he did that the first time and I forgot to push record? So then after he was done, I was like, Hans,

can you do that again? Because I totally didn't push record, and he did it again on the fly. So we thank you, Hans. But I have to ask you this about your camera skills. For no, no, no no, no, I will say, for the amount of stuff that the Sandman says while you're recording, I don't know how you don't drop it from laughing so hard with some of the wild stuff. And again you'll see that more in part two of the Eerie Pennsylvania leg of the trip. When

is that coming up? That will be hitting YouTube? I believe I'm gonna put it out Friday night, so tomorrow probably like seventy eight o'clock. But it's just that things kind of start to kick in on him a little bit. Well, you know, at one point it was so dark in the car, but I had to record him because this stuff coming out of his mouth was gold. And I said, if I don't record this, I'm going to miss out on, you know, one of the best stories ever told. So

that's you know, that's what happened. That's why I took the one clip out and made it the deleted scene about the metaverse because him explaining the holograunds and your grandpa talking to you because he's been recorded by Alexa for twenty years and getting the bj bayer Obo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's like and that was early. That was that was after you guys got off the flight in Cleveland. Oh yeah, he wasn't even like, he wasn't even in full mode

by then. It was if this was an eighty sitcom and Eyes of Here is the sitcom, the vehicle for the spin off would be this vlog for the sand Well we you know, I told you he called me last night and we're discussing working together, Like we want to do more shots together, so you know, if they're local, we're willing to like draw travel together. So there might be a lot more good stuff coming up if we can. It's fantastic. We can get books together when somebody wants me.

I always try to push Shane and Hack how about you know, how about my friends come along, you know,

because it's just it makes it more fun. And I know a lot of people can't afford all of us, but I try so there's not there's not a bye two get one free yeah for the unfortunately at this Let me ask you this though, because the gathering, you know, and and traditionally that show originally was an NWA reunion show that was like where you know, all the the old old timers that were still around the I fell, but it's so with you guys being honored, obviously it changed.

So what did this fan base like, what was the vibe from them about ECW because this was more traditional NWA territory where the hotel was. So I don't know if Shane and I helped like with drawing an ECW crowd so to speak. But like at the dinner when we were introduced ay chanity CW. When we went on, and it could have been the workers, I don't know who was saying why. It could have been the boys

saying it too. But Shane made a good point. He had asked because he had signed on Sunday and I had signed on Saturday, which was a little weird that we weren't signing together or whatever. But I he had said, when people came up to you, did they have like multiple things to sign? And I said, for the most part, yeah, it was usually like four or five items. It wasn't just like here's a poster sign it was here. No, people were buying individual pictures of Shane and I are

me or you know. So I I got this like I sensed that there was an ECW crowd at this show. Okay, you know, but I, like I said, I've never been to the other ones, but I've always heard that NWA thing, and that's why I was always like, well, I guess I'll never go there because I didn't work for the NWA, you know. But like I did feel a little on the older side, you know what I mean. I just but it's okay, cause I am I have to get

used to that. Hans ten dollars, super chat. Thank you so much, doll You're going into the chip jar two times, not one time, two times. Yes, we're gonna, We're gonna. Yeah, it's great. I was I mean the last time I

was there a few years ago. It's actually I was there with with Shane and just it was you know, it was a lot of like the Mid South contingent, you know, a lot of the South guys, a lot of the nw A guys, you know, a few random you know, recent released guys that were there making the rounds. But cool to see, you know how the e c W contingent was there because I think they were, I mean all of I don't know if they requested where

they sat for the dinner. No, I think it's random. Well, guess what, everybody at my table was an ECW fan, every single person at my table. So I guess we got lucky or I got lucky because they were all very you know, inquisitive and asked questions and we tried to chat and it was just nice. It was really nice. So Marty book a skin. They did they hit you with the more of the normal questions or did they give you a little bit better like mix that. That's

a hardcore fan base right there. That's why I'm asking. Well, the one one guy that was there, his name was Derek, and I hadn't seen him in eight I think he said, eighteen years. I knew him and his dad from when I worked. Like he's from Oklahoma, so I knew him when I would do the South and I would do things for a guy named Britt Britain. When I worked for him a lot. I actually did a wrest he called it Russell Cohm back in the day, but it

wasn't the Russell con that that Michael does. Yeah, it was in Dallas, and he would come with his father and he would come to shows and stuff like that. So I hadn't seen him forever. So I thought he requested to be at that table because of me. And that's why I thought maybe everybody else because the couple next to me, they were from Pennsylvania, so they were familiar with the E c W. The one guy was Boston, the other guy was New Jersey. I don't know. I mean,

if it was just lucky that they got me. Maybe I apologized when I sat down, I said, I'm sorry, I'm your challenge. But it was a lot of Kevin Stullivan. You now have the Queen of extreme. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how many tables were there, but like I said, each person got seven seven fans at their table. So it's a great setup. It was. It was a

lovely weekend. I really I enjoyed myself. It's funny. It's just double j because I just saw something having to do with Ric Flair's last match past the Chadster's desk. Did you see that Rick Flair already regrets saying that that was his last match? Now now he's getting offers. Oh well, I saw that he was. He was actually managing his son in law like Puerto Rico or something, and I was like, Oh, is he going to get

in there and take a bomb or do something? It looks I mean, the way they're angling it, I think they're trying to do a Carlos Cologne and his son versus Rick Flair and Andrade. Well, you know it didn't Terry Funk retire like forty two thousand times. I mean, this is the kiss model, you know. I don't know, I'm going to be pissed off because they paid all that money to see his final match. I would be if I was a part of that crew that started is a heel. It cares I worked you all, Yeah, exactly.

Now we're going to be you know, we're doing the same thing. This time. We're getting the action figure scans again, We're getting the one hundred and fifty dollars meet and greet, the you know, the all the crazy stuff they did one more time, right, the real, real last match. Yeah, Jeff was talking about it a little bit, but I was in and out listening because I was like in the green room. I was busy signing. But I got to drive with Jeff twice. I got to drive with

him to the venue and then to the airport. I saw C. W Anderson, got to talk to him. I saw LOADI for the first time in like years. Looks phenomenal. He looked great, very very, very put together. Saw Kimona for the first time. She adorable as always, a little bitty little thing was dancing on top of the dancing. No, no, she was just hanging out. I got to see her, and like I mentioned, rock and Roll Express were there. I sat with Bill. I met Paul Roma for the

first time. Oh he's he's fun. Yeah, he was getting some heat because apparently after our dinner he did like a one man Q and A in a different room and everybody came in and they were like, he's shooting on everyone. Yeah, he's just shooting on every and then one of I'm not going to say who, but one of the boys came in and said, you better get that mfter away from me. I'm going to kill him. And I was like, oh, wow, where's my camera? Yeah? I remember we thought we were gonna witness something at

the big event. We were like, get the camera ready, like I know I was. I was holding it like half like cocked. So I didn't see me. But yeah, there was no fight, but he Paul was in really good shape. Yeah. Was there a reunion of you and the members of the Raw Roster from the nineteen ninety three episode of Road We were in attends for the

Quickbuckers were there? I didn't see them. No. I saw Luke from the Bushwhackers, very nice, okay, yeah, which I've worked with him a couple a couple of times since since then. But I'm trying to think you all about the Nitro girls. I saw the Nitro girls. Yeah, they they were doing their photo shoot when Shane and I were. We were next. We were after them, so I just set a collective high and Kimberly said hi, And I'm saying, they don't know who to I am. But that's okay.

I just you know, I walk in the room, I say hi, how are you to everybody? And if you answer, great and if you don't great whatever. How about my my buddy Ronnie Garvin? Did you see him? I did not see Ronnie garviand no with Ronnie Garvin in two weeks. Oh yeah, I saw Paul Ellerine. I met his daughter. Oh, she's a doll. Got me her Rachel, Yes, I met Rachel. Who else? Nikita Nikita cole Off was there, Yeah, he looks great. Tory Wilson was there. I didn't see Tory,

but Shane did a photo out with her. Oh after me. Interesting, Yeah, they they they made them do on there. I didn't see how no see because they shuffle you in and out of rooms, right, so I didn't even like if you were brought in by a vendor. I didn't see the vendor room. The only person that I saw was c W and Lodi in the vendor room because it was early and I walked through to get to the other room. And then once I was in the other room, there were there were like back doors. It was like

secret compartments. You slide in, you slide out, you know what. I mean I had people walking me in and out of places. So u uh, Scorpio, I didn't see scorp okay. No. And I didn't see Hack because his flight was no because his flight was delayed. He was coming in for the show and then to sign on Sunday. Okay. So my flight was supposed to take off at like six six ' ten or something, and I said, well, let me just sit here instead of waiting at the airport because if I get canceled, I have to stay an

extra night. Like I'm not going to sleep at the airport. I waited until the last minute. I was like, I have to get to the airport. I have to try to get home. So as I was going to the airport, I think Hack was flying in. How about this guy future guest of Eyes up here, Brett the Hitman Heart. I didn't see Bread at all. Funk didn't see Dorry Okay, No, I'm just looking at if you were on a vendor, if you were brought in by a vendor, I probably

didn't see you. Uh. That was funny because remember when we had Sam Man on a couple of weeks ago, he said he didn't even know he was going to be there remember, And then he calls me and he goes, yeah. He goes, I think I'm on that show with you, and I go, I'm not on the show. I'm on the signing yo. I think I'm doing a run in and saving Shane. And then I go, Okay, that's probably what you're gonna do, right, And then Shane calls me and he goes, oh my god, he goes, we were

selling forever because I had to do it that. I said, that's what you do when your friends are dying. You do are engines around the building. Oh my gosh, over your head. It's so great because that's all I got is my entrance. I was like, yeah, just do it, milk it. That's so funny. Yeah, it was pretty cool. Ricky Steamboat that was the other one. I see the dragon. He wasn't doing this. I didn't see him telling the vendors.

I didn't. I didn't see anybody. Just to remind everybody, come on with five dollars panel membership or super chat, you get this bad boy tonight as a giveaway. Once we hit the one hundred dollars mark, you get that one of a kind beauty over there. The the Shan I don't think she ever signed a SHN. I would never have ever imagine seeing that. No, this is rare, hard to find, and I don't know why. I I don't know why we did this. I honestly don't know, but I have it and it could be yours if

the price is right. If if the price is right. How about Jerry Jarrett? He was there too, Jerry Jarrett. I did see and he did not know who the hell I was. But I felt like saying, yeah, don't you remember you hollering at me? And nayway, I didn't say two words. I was like hello, Sarah, and that

was about it. And I love when you see a convention this size though, because it is that who's who like component, But then when there's like newer talent there, it's like, I'm curiously what kind of response they get from fans because it's such a hardcore audience that some newer guys I don't know if they get lost in the shuffle, but they are like they have their own cool aura about them because they're the new generation. So it's very weird. I saw the Beverly Brothers as well,

Oh do they remember us from the car? Well? The guy, the one gosh, I don't know, what is this, The one that was talking to me in New York. The same one came over, sat right next to me, had a big conversation, and then she the one whose son is in NXT. I don't know, great great shape, I don't know. I think it's Wayne Bloom. Well, he he pulled me over in New York. And then he came and he sat with Shane and I in a in

the green room. God, he's such a nice man, and he goes, yeah, we always we always seem to miss each other. And I thought he meant a convention, but he met when we worked and I was like, oh, okay, but he's so nice. They came in the green room, got to talk to him for a little bit. But then, like I said, I was ushered into this other room. And that's for the next three four hours. I was just in there signing and I signed non stop. The line never stopped, and you'll see it on the video.

The line never stopped. It was great. It was three four hours of constant signing. Yeah it was. It was great. It was to work on your pen twirling. When that happens, you know, no, and like Bill after he was God bless his heart, but he he was like, he kept like, if I'm signing, He kept going, oh, look at it, look at his picture, look at it. I'm like, Okay, Bill, you know we have to keep going here because there's so many people. And He's like, I know, I'm holding

up the whole line. It showed me like when he was twenty years old and Paul Hayman took this picture and I'm like, that's a great phil But he would be really fun to have on with us. But I don't know if we could ever sync up the times, because I know he what he does during the day would not sync up with us. He would be a trip to have on. I love him. Yeah, great, Abraham, thank you for the two dollars supersticker. We appreciate that. Arry.

He was one of those guys like when you know, when I was doing all the talent interviews, just interviewing him felt big to me because of the fact of how he re like envisioned the wrestling magazine as it was. It was a big deal because we all read those magazines. Yeah, and he kept saying, Oh, I can't believe people know who I am. I'm like Bill, come, you've been around forever, like everybody knows you, everybody loves you, you know, and

he did when he got his award. He came through the tables and he sang, oh God, he sang a copa cabana, but not copa cabana. Can't I can't smile, yes, Barrymount, I can't smile without you. But he was changing the words, like when he got to the rock and rolls, I can't rock and roll without you, like he was working the whole room. It was adorable. I wish I taped it. I didn't film that part, but it was cute. He's adult. I love him and it was good to see him

so great weekend. I can't even it was if if you're in the area and you know you passed up on it, you missed it, go to the next one. You won't be disappointed. To make sure Francine's there too. Well, even if I'm not there, like go It's just so there was so much talent. It was great. What was the coolest piece of memorabilia you saw? I love asking you that? Well, for me, they had a belt that was custom made and they were going to present it.

I don't know if it was like during a raffle or whatever, but one of the plates was the Triple Threat picture. Oh cool, and I think I put it on Twitter. I was like, what I said that to me, and he goes, yeah, he goes, we put all the award winners on a plate. I was like, damn, that is so cool. That's very cool. Yeah, so I like and we all signed the belt and then I think they gave it away that evening, So it was pretty cool. I think all I did see that that was Yeah,

that was pretty sweet. I liked it that when's that ever gonna happen again? Never? So I liked it as far as I know, never gonna happen again, No, probably not. I signed a lot of canes, Singapore canes, nice. A lot of people had canes, just a lot of pictures, a lot of magazines, ECW magazine, the Old magazine. A lot of people had that one. So I signed that. You know, whatever they had, I would sign. If you bring it, I will sign within reason, of course, ye

use your best judgment. Yeah, but it was good. It was a good time, very nice, very nice. Yeah. Well, I mean, what else do you you want to talk about before we move on. I don't know. We have a couple of minutes. Did anybody have any questions. I haven't been even been looking at the chat. I've just been gibber jabbering a lot of comments about the guys that we were mentioning in the Okay, let's see blah blah blah. Jeremy says, that was a cool looking ballot. Sure was. Wow,

magazine was awesome. Hans digs out doors. Did they uh, what are they talking? They're talking about? Okay, Bill after is a legend. Yes he is. Everybody's having conversations with themselves. There, it is, there, it is. Isn't that cool? Cool it? I loved it. But again, the saddest part is that picture, knowing there's only going to be two signatures on there, and I hate that now that said picture, it's very sad. Well, it's one of my favorite pictures ever. So you know,

it was a good time. But if anybody has any questions for myself or the chats there, we have a couple of minutes and get your get your bids into your super chats and channel memberships and you can be in the Charlie chip Jar Alex says, you look cool today? What are you wearing? I found my this shirt. I think it's like twenty five thirty years old, and I don't know I got it. No, I'm not lying. It's a very old shirt. It says wrestling Girls kick Ass.

And it's just I'm wearing shorts and my tight What does it say on the back? Does it say something? It says U JABRONI something whatever the clothing line JABRONI. Well there you go. Awesome, this is my shirt. Have I ever been to Australia? No, but I would love to go someday. Looks beautiful from what I see in in pictures. And we had people travel to this convention. Yeah, from the UK, Japan there. There's a bunch of people there,

so this is a big one. You didn't get booked on those WWA Andrew McManus tours back in the day. You don't remember they used to do Australia. It was like right after ECW and WCW closed. Why didn't you get on those? Come on? I don't know. Maybe book booking price too high. That's why I don't even remember being asked. I don't know. Hans says, when you get booked for a convention. Do they set up everything for you?

They do. Yeah, you have to, you know, you give your price and then they pay for hotel, they pay for airfare, they should pay for food, and they come pick you up at the airport. They take you where you need to go, and you know, and if they if they don't pick you up, they have runners to pick you up. But you're usually taken care of. Yeah, exactly. Angela says, what is it like meeting fans who weren't born when ECW was on the air. It's a good question, Angela,

And and here's your answer for you. Thanks to Vince McMahon, I'm gonna put him over and the WWE Network slash Peacock, we have a new generation of people watching ECW. So we get children ten, eleven, twelve years old coming up to the table that know exactly who Shane and I are, who weren't even born when we were working. So it's

like they're watching it for the first time. And and it's it's really helped us out that these channels have really helped us out, because you know, if if they weren't out there, these people wouldn't be like honey us down watching tapes and buying stuff off of you know, eBay and stuff like that. Yeah, well, but it's so convenient to just turn it on, Oh I want to check out what you CW's about, and they get to watch it from its entirety, and we have so many

new fans from it, and it's it's just great. It's awesome. You can literally it's everywhere. I mean, they've so embraced that vintage style and I can only imagine it's going to get bigger and better because I think from what I've been told and how they're they're going to be changing a lot of stuff. I think they're going to be embracing the history even more, but not just the WWE history, but the wrestling history because now wrestling is

allowed to be said again within WWE. So I think that you know, there's only going to be more, uh stuff that you're going to be seeing coming out. Well that's promising because you know, this was supposed to be my last year with touring, and oh good I called it. I know you did. I've decided I'm going to carry on. I'm gonna keep going, so promoters, if you hear me, I'll be available for twenty twenty three. Oh my god,

twenty twenty three. Oh, right around the corner. I knew that. Yes, I had an interesting conversation yesterday that we could talk about later on that. Yeah, so I got a little bit of context over some changes that are happening. But I would think that there's gonna be more. I get. There's just like you know what, you know what pops me all the time when you see a picture you've never seen before and you know that WWE has that in their library, and you go, oh my god, They've

got so much stuff. Who just put pumping out there. Yeah, I'm sure there's so much that I haven't seen. And there were books that were given to me this past weekend and I was like, oh, I'm in this so yeah, oh that's me? Is it from WW Yeah? I go really, I didn't know that they put at this stuff out. So it's interesting what people find what they bring. Like your trading card. Trading card, it's very over in Australian Sweden. So look at that. I mean, that is a cool

looking card. And what's on the back of my moves it's actually part of it. I'll take it out because there's a glare. It's part of like a game that they have. So you're a game piece. So like all these things, got a little bio on you. It says height one point seven to zero m yes, block fifty five percent, finishing move forty one titles zero zero. I

have to work on that. I need a belt. So yeah, somebody, the only one I've ever seen in my position outside of this one is the Kevin Thorn, just again showing how deep this set goes that I think Roadkill has. Yeah, it had one. I think Dandy Dorin does as well. So they went pretty deep with the roster. Hey, I like that card. You know, I'll take what I can get. Beggar skipped your choosers over here, so uh if I'm over in Australia and Sweden, then so be it. I

like it. There, Dig said, I remember watching ECW here in Beaver County, Pennsylvania at three am as an infomershal as an Infomershall infomercial in Beaver County. Didn't Shane have any stroke. We were on at three am? What the heck as an infomercial. So they went from the vegimatic to the the hair curling thing to ECW. Yeah, Hans said, what's The weirdest thing some someone asked you to sign the titty well skin and then they got it into

a tattoo, which was pretty cool. Weird at the time because I'm like, oh, you're gonna wash her your skin off, but he know, he went right to the tattoo polar and got my name tattooed on his arm, my signature, so I thought that was cool. And the weirdest gift was an eggplant, So thank you for that. If you're no, it was a gift. Interesting. I got to keep it. Did you keep it? No? It's supposed to be used for cooking purposes, Well, it was a fat egg It was really fat. So you know what the egg plant

emoji means now right now what it means. But this egg plant would have killed somebody going you know, I mean, I'm glad you wouldn't be able to use it, but I'm sure there's somebody out there that would be like, bring it on now anyway on that now, what are we going on for Patreon this week? So on Patreon this week, we are going to check out what we're going to be watching next in the second portion of this phenomenal broadcast, and that is where are they now

the ECW Final pay per view edition. Well, no, we're gonna we're going to do the watch along. I'm sorry, no, no no, that's on Sorry YouTube, I got to mix up. Sorry, that's on Patreon.

We're not gonna end the YouTube broadcast. We're just gonna end the podcast broadcast, right. And so we've done this in the last couple of times. We we're watching it and we're commenting on it, and I'll ask Francine questions as we go along. Some people were saying the last time, like, oh, there's a lot of

silence all their dead air. But that's because she's watching it and she's gonna comment on it eventually, and I try to fill the gap as much as possible. So that's I just want to explain that before we move forward, we are going to watch the Where Are They Now

ECW Guiltiest Charged Edition on Patreon. You are We talked about Culta Hollick and all these other wrestling channels that do these conglomeration videos, but they keep putting you in the thumbnail, so I think they're trying to get the viewers in, hey man, you know you know what selves baby, that's right, and then pick ass that's exactly right.
