Okay with us yesterday it was the Great Daniel Spencer, and he's with us again today and we're gonna give sort of like in high school, they had a bit team and they would do these things called mock trials, and a mock trial was like what you see on Law and Order, but it's just a bunch of kids doing it, so
it's not real. It's a mockery of a trial. So we're gonna do one of those today. Hopefully everybody has looked up the referee that shall remain nameless. You've had twenty four hours on the if you want to do it right now. August fourteenth edition of Monday Night Raw, Cody Rhodes versus Finn Balord. There was, first of all, mister Spencer, how are you, sir? I'm good, I'm good. Thanks for having me back. How are you doing well?
Where are you joining us from? Kentucky? Where are you joining us from?
Louis Louisville, Kentucky. Yeah, Louisville, Kentucky, louis or Louisville, Kentucky. If you live here, Louisville, that's why how you're supposed to.
Say it, louis Where are you from originally? I'm from here originally. Yeah. So then why'd you mess it up? Daniel Spencer?
I just be well, because you know it's it's you never know who's listening around the world.
I don't want them to go Louisville. What's that? So? Okay? Fair enough? That's like New Orleans, so I know what you're speaking about instead of Narlans Narlins. All right, all right, all right, mister Louisville Lowville. August fourteenth, Cody versus Finn. Look, there was I'll give the ref this, there were about twenty seven distractions during the match, okay, and that's that's not that's not fair to any referee on any level. And and like you said, there's only one of them
in there. There's just there's two eyeballs in there. Until we allow other refs around the ring, which has happened in the past from time to time when it was necessary, I don't think we could do it every time. Instant replay has been employed from time to time through various promotions, but doesn't necessarily work as well unless it's a very isolated story. I think. So the onus is on one human and that's the referee. Now, one distraction I can
ex use to my patients is tested three distractions. And to not have all the members of the Judgment day removed from the ring immediately, to me is offensive. I find it a complete lack of respect for the rules of the game. We all know the game the game of pain, and you have an opportunity to defend your brethren or sister in the sister in org Brethren's word. Brethren's is going to be all inclusive, all right to defend your brethren. Right now are three distractions without being
ejected from the from the ring area. Are you do you agree with me? Or do you think I should give even more latitude? A fourth possible fifth distraction? Well, I love first. It's one of those It's one of those moments.
Where now the distractions coming from different people different times, or one was say from one person, but yet another person also distract. They're all part of a team or a group, right, but if they're kind of you kind of have to okay, well, that person messed up once, this person's messed up. Now, got to keep it track that way. So you know, there are times where after two or three, I may get very frustrated myself and just say, get the hell out of here.
You're gone, get to the back. But it's also one of those things where if there's so much.
Action happening in the ring, that that could also turn me away from what I need to see for a pinfall or a submission, or you know, or someone may be hurt and I got to check on them. There's also that too, So it's kind of you you honestly really gotta take every moment and that in those situations and kind of case by case you can't.
It's not a blanket for everything.
I can after throw somebody out after one distraction because the past, they've.
Done it before, and I knew that we're going to do more than one. But I've all that shady record. I'm with that.
I'm right right, you know, you know, I've allowed it to go on two or three times and then finally I give the warning next time you're thrown out, and usually by that time they didn't do anything, so I didn't have to throw them out. So sometimes it just it just it's a case by case situation. So I'll give that person benefit of doubt that more than likely because there was other people and there's different people get involved.
You know, they gave each one of them warnings and then it just they didn't get to, you know, kick them out because they obeyed what he what he said at that moment so or after he said that.
So the argument that you've presented to this jury is that even though they're representative of a group, the individuals deserve multiple warnings before being ejected from the ring end or arena. Is this correct? Yes? You can, yes, that is the argument. Oh I wish judge Jeff did was here right now so he could make his ruling. You're lucky. This is a mock trial, and so I wish you think if I was a judge, I would throw everybody in jail, including myself. Look for him to get I mean,
don't forget you. Look, you're all about safety, right yesterday we discussed safety because of these multiple distractions that the referee allowed to go on. Multiple times. A man was hit in the head with a briefcase. With a briefcase, he could have been concussed, where's your where's your concern for the talent that's in the ring? Where's the refra concern there?
But unfortunately the referee like I didn't see that, and either what I've seen that? So then that's after the match where you check on them and see if everything's okay.
And then you find out and you're like, what, I can't believe that's happened. Are you okay? Let's let's get you medical attention, let's go. That's that's usually what happens.
And I've been in a situation like that where I did not see a chair spot or or whatever may have happened or changed.
I'm not sure you're I'm sure you've been guilty in the past. I'm sure of it. The bottom line on that is is that we take care of the talent.
Afterwards, they see whoever needs to be seen, and then they can take their grievance up to management and get a rematch or a clause or whatever needs to happen. And I'm always for that. I'm always for fair and balanced, you know things. So yeah, one hundred percent, let's let's give them a rematch if they felt cheated.
Fair enough, mister Spencer. Fair enough, Daniel, tell the people what's going on in TNA in October, my dude, Yeah, we got Bound for Glory. Glory. It's gonna be live from Chicago, Illinois. Oh nice.
Not pretty exciting there. You know, some of the matches will be announced, and I'm sure you can go on Impact Wrestling dot Com and look at all those matches that have been announced out there for Bound for Glory and uh yeah, it's it's.
Like those too. We announce them too on premier streaming. We announced them too.
Yeah, so those that that's kind of like our WrestleMania for lack of a better term, or our super Bowl or whatever.
You want to call it.
So that's our big, big event of the year, so we're pretty excited about that.
I Uh, it's funny, you know. I've I've gotten to meet so many interesting people in this business, and they all have some weird thing that's so the opposite of wrestling that they love, and I'm wondering if you do too, and if so, are you willing to share it. I'm a huge back I'm a huge Back to the Future nerd. I have oh my god, Daniel, wait right there, Oh my god, oh sick tattoos, back to vision tattoo. Yeah, wait till you see what I'm about to show you.
We're going to be for O. Catch this all right, let's do this, all right? Okay. So I'm a huge Back to the Future fan. I even watched two people propose in front of the clock tower at Universal Studios. I was just randomly eating lunch because I would always eat lunch there when I worked on the lot at the clock tower because I love the movie so much. And two people got married just outside of it. So check this out from part two. Oh my goodness, that's amazing.
That's amazing. In the case, still, it'll never be opened. What I have here is an actual pepsi that Marty McFly asks for, and at this point it is no longer drinkable. The contents inside are are no good. But it is the actual bottle from the movie that Marty McFly does not open. It's in Back to the Future Part two, The Future, Part two, Future two, The Future, The Future. Yeah, not the past. There was no pepsi in the Wild West one. Sadly no, there was not.
There was not. It was so it was so historically accurate it was.
Yeah, and there's no pepsi free in nineteen fifty five either. That's what it's always my favorite. Jen're ging a pepsi free? Yeah, I get a tab. Well, you gotta pay for something bout something. I'm like those drinks see.
Were nerds were absolutely Yes, it's old I'm anyway. But it's from the set, from the actual set. Holy ship. That's how much of a loser I am, dude.
That is that is literally like amazing, Like I've got so many replica stuff like from the from the movie, any different and everything, but nothing nothing from the actual set.
The only thing, the only cool thing that I got to do in.
The last year was my buddy surprised me with a FaceTime with Lea Thompson, and that was like the cool hell.
Yeah. By the way, she's like the nicest. Yeah, she's one of the nicest human beings. Super. My wife made a television series with her daughter and her husband as a director. He directed Howard the Duck Back in the Day, which everyone's shop on, but if you look back now, it's still pretty sick and ahead of its sea.
Yeah.
Her name is Zoe. Her name is Zoey. Deutsch is the daughter's name because her dad's last name is Deutsche, and she's looks like her mom and is just as talented and uh, it definitely runs in the jeens. I love Leah Thompson. Man, she's the sweetest. Look at us nerding out on Leah Thompson. Some will say she's all that all right? See how oh stop Joe. Dad jokes. I do jad jokes puns a lot online. Are you a dad? If you're not a dad, you are not allowed to hit me with it. I'm a dad. I'm
a dad. I'm a dad. Yeah, fair enough, Yeah, I'm a dad and respect. My daughter loves. My daughter loves wrestling.
By the way, she's a huge, huge wrestling fan, so it's kind of cold she see her.
She's thirteen. Okay, my daughter's thirteen too. Who are Who's her favorite wrestler. Her favorite wrestler right now is Cody Roads. She loves Cody ROAs.
Yeah, she's just Before that, it was John Cena, and then she liked Dace Austin an Impact at OVW. She loves Jesse Goddards who was on Big Brother at one time. But yeah, she's a huge Cody Rose and then aj Styles. One time I took her wee set front row about five six years ago for the b B House show and A J.
South came around like gave her his glove. It was and what was cool?
By later and then she got pictures with the Good Brothers and later I became, you know, work with them, became close friends with the Good Brothers.
So I was like, I showed them the pictures story.
So then they they said, well, if you give me that glove, I'll see if we can get ag to sign it. And I was like, okay, and I told him Matt at the end of their Impact run and then they go back to w BEE. So I have to hook up with the Good Brothers to get have them get it signed for because the way I.
Don't really know what to do at the heartbeat, I only know one of the Good Brothers, but I knew him even back when he was Festus. That's how long. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Gallows, Yeah, Gallows. Gallows is amazing. Yeah, he's one of these guys in the game and one of the sweetest guys in the game. Mister Spencer, thank you for joining us.
