WWF Classic: The Ice Storm from Hell

this is a continuation episode. But this episode we'll touch a little bit more on what I thought is like the most heartwarming moment I ever had in WWE. There weren't many, but this time we're going into the ice Storm. I have built this story up, so without further ado, the Ice Storm, I Wrestling with Freddy. Wow. Stuffing up to the mic. The host of Wrestling with Freddy Freddy

Price tune. All Right, you guys, I'm on the highway with a makeup artist from Friday Night SmackDown back then, even though we shot it on Tuesdays, and we're driving I think from Memphis to Atlanta, and if that's about a four hour drive then I'm right. If not, it was another town. So we're on the freeway and we're cruising down and it's late at night, probably probably about ten thirty eleven o'clock at night. We're on the highway. It's winter and there's snow on both sides of the road,

and there are no cars anywhere. We left much later than everyone else. Usually you would like pass other wrestlers, or wrestlers would pass you. This was before I was on the jet. So we're cruising down. It's getting late,

we haven't seen anybody, and she's getting sleepy. Right. So I'm cruising, but we have a map that remember there's no map quest, there was no app on a phone that told you I have We would print out maps at the end of the show and that's how the rookies like me you would get from town to town before I was, thank god, on the Black and Red jet. So we're cruising, I have my map. She's getting sleepy. And as we're driving down the road, it's been about

twenty minutes, maybe thirty minutes. Like I said, there's snow everywhere. I see some smoke down the highway. I'm like, what the hell is that? Man? So I'm driving cruising down this curve and now I see this like fire and smoke and in the middle of the snow, and so I slow the car down and I'm almost pulled over at this point, and the loss of speed wakes up the makeup artist and I go, what the hell is that?

And it's this gigantic tree that's fallen over. The roots are uprooted, and it's on fire, straight, just burning in the middle of nowhere. There's nobody around it. There's no cars, there's no tire tracks anywhere. It's just a tree that it looks like it's been struck by lightning. There's no lightning, at least not to my knowledge, during a snowstorm in the South. Maybe I'm wrong. Hit me up on social So I'm slowing down and I've now I pulled the car all the way over, and I go, what the

hell is that? And she goes, I don't know. And I go, I'm gonna go check it out. She goes, the hell you are? She goes, it's freezing outside. We're going to Atlanta. I go, no, I just want to see what it is. She goes, no, you're not going over there. Get back in the car. I've opened the door. Get back in the car. We're gone. I go Okay, okay, okay, I go, but that's some crazy shit. She goes, yeah, it's crazy shit. Let's go. It's freaky. Okay. So I

close the door. We're driving. She passes out. Nothing else spooky or no polter guys, nothing like that. But the road starts getting kind of sketchy, and I have the radio on and I'm scanning the AM channels because I mean when I mean sketchy, like there's ice now on the roads, and we're getting we're in Georgia, we're getting just outside Atlanta. And on the radio, I hear the

mayor of Atlanta, and you could check this out. You can figure out what year it is, has just declared a state of emergency and he's basically closed the city because of an ice storm. The roads are unsafe to drive on, and everybody is like, not quarantine, but it's a curfew, like stay home, you go on the roads, you go and die. So we're close to the airport. Our hotel is at the airport, and I cruise up there and I mean, we're sliding everywhere like I'm on

ice skates. We're not in a four wheel drive automobile. I'm in like a little four door rental Sedan. It wasn't built for the snow. So we're at the airport because we know the hotel's close to there, and I see one of those like rental car transport vans and it's running and there's this black dude inside, and so I go up to him and I go, hey, man, I'm trying to get to my hotel. Can you help me out? And he says, well, what's the name of it? And I don't remember what it was, It's the Ice

Storm Hotel. Will call it the Ice Storm Hotel. And he goes, oh, it's down that way. You're just going to make a right and just keep going straight and you'll see it. You'll see the big sign. It's down a big driveway. I go, okay. So I drive down there and we get to the driveway and yeah, the driveway goes down, but it's steep and it goes straight into the hotel lobby. If I take this car down this hill, I'm not stopping. It's gonna go through the

front of the building. So I drive back to the airport guy and I say, hey, man, is there is there another hotel around here? Because we couldn't find any other ones, or can I stay in the Can I stay in the airport? I can't get down there. And he's this Jamaican dude and he's like, you stay out, dear, you're gonna dime on. You better find a way to that hotel. And so I'm like, all right, the airport's closed.

They're not gonna let me in. So I drive back and now we're parked at the top of this hotel's driveway and the and the makeup artist is looking at me, and I'm looking at her, and she goes, how the hell are we going to get down there? She goes, I can't walk down it. It's all it's all Ice. I go, yeah, I don't. I don't know, but I'm not going to have like a headline in the paper tomorrow. Freddie Prinz Junior found with a makeup artist frozen dead in a car. I was like, the stories they would

write would shame my family for the next generation. I said, we're getting down this damn hill. So I'm looking around. I don't see any way down outside of you know, horrible accident, I get sued or dead or someone else dies. Right, So finally, because I'm an idiot, all right, And I'll preface this by saying, I've done a lot of dumb stuff as a kid and slid down a lot of hills I shouldn't have slid down. So I go to the trunk. I'll freezing to death, y'all. I'm a California kid.

My blood is thin. I surf if the water's you know, below seventy I'm wearing a wet suit, so I'm cold as hell. I'm not dressed properly. I grab my suitcase. I set it at the top of the thing, and now I'm just staring down the hill at this hotel, at the Ice Storm Hotel, and she comes up to me. She gets out of the car. She goes, what are you doing? And I don't even look at her. I say, I'm a slide down this hill on my suitcase. She goes, what.

I go, i'mna slide down my hill and I'm gonna slide down the hill on my suitcase, and so are you. She goes, I'm not doing that. I said, you're going to get your ass on your suitcase and you're sliding down this hill with me. I'm not going to leave you in the car to die. Is the only way down. I'm sure it wasn't, but I'm not a genius, so this was the best way I could think of. I said, So, I'm going down with you, and you're not going to get hurt. Don't worry. I'm certain of it in my head.

I'm certain of it. Sara, are you ready? She goes no. I go, well, we're going. I said, I'm not going first, We're going together. She's she doesn't want to. She gets her suitcase. What are the I mean, we have an option, get down this hill. That's the option. So she gets her suitcase. Every word that I'm telling you in this story is actual. Well I'm about to go Tilsa. It's actual and factual everywhere. Sorry, every word I'm telling you it is one hundred percent true, and every word I'm

I'm telling you you will not believe. And I'm okay with that. So I get on my suitcase. I lay it down and I'm sitting on it the way you would have sled, and my feet are on the snow so that I can have my heels to dig in to slow me down. I tell her to do the same thing. She sits on the suitcase. I think I have like a Toomey. Right, it's like black travel to me, that was big enough to get all your crap, but small enough to get in an overhead bin one of those.

And she has like a hard case one because she got like makeup and crap. Right, So she sits on her suitcase. I said on mine. I say, are you ready? She goes, oh, god, I guess so. So we kind of do the scooch like our feet are in the snow like a one and IT'SO and three and my feet are in the snow instantly. The moment that it gets steep, there's no more snow for my feet to dig into. It is hard ice. It is a good inch thick, and there probably not an inch thick, but

you get the point. Like it is there's no traction. So I hit terminal velocity within about two and a half seconds, and I'm I mean, I'm flying. I look to my right because it's it's too fast for me. I look to my right and she's bailing out. It's too fast, okay, So she bails out to her left toward me right. But now she has nothing. Now it's just her body, so she's just gonna keep on sliding.

But it's not with any sort of control. So she's going upside down, she's going horizontal, she's going to the left, she's on her left hip, she's on her belly, she's sliding everywhere. It looks like breaking to Electric Bugoloo, like a deleted scene. Right, She's break dancing all the way down this ice and I'm flying. Okay, So I get down first. She kind of curved off to the side into the snow drift by the curb, but she's okay. She gets up, she's solid, make up, good to go,

case not destroyed. I slide all the way down to basically where the valet is and onto the brick entryway of this hotel, about four feet away from the double sliding doors. The entire staff of the hotel that was in that area had been watching us since we were on top of the hill, wondering how we were going to get down, And they're literally cheering for me because

I literally just did my evil canievil shit. It just went like one hundred and twenty seven miles per hour done his driveway, and they're cheering, and I get up and I'm laughing, and she's laughing. Everybody's still in a good mood, and the guy literally tells me, he goes, dude, we didn't know how you were going to get down. That was so sick. So we go to check in. They don't have her room. So she gets my bed and I crash out on the couch and then we wake up and the ice they now salted and done

all this stuff. And the next day we got on the plane and we flew back to well, I flew to New York City and she flew to wherever, to wherever she lived. But that is the ice storm, and that's the fastest that I've ever gone in something that wasn't a vehicle or a jet. Oh, by the way, I flew in a jet. This isn't wrestling related, but the like the debt commander at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas was a Puerto Rican dude, and he loved my dad and my buddy who lives out there.

Ran a construction company and gave him like some equipment to help him do his house and his off his off base house. And there in Las Vegas, I think it was Henderson, Nevada. And so he was like he saw a picture of me and Brian, my buddy Brian, and he goes, oh, you know Freddy Prince Junior man, I loved his dad. And he goes, oh, yeah, he's a good friend of mine. And he goes tell him if he ever wants to fly in the jet, it's

on me. He goes, no cameras, nothing. I was like, and so my buddy Brian calls me and I was like, what do you mean like a jet jet? He goes yeah. I go to oh, dude, I'm in. I drove from La to Las Vegas at night at like eleven thirty at night, drove as fast as I could, and uh, we have the date and I get there and I think I'm just gonna fly in a jet. No, it's like an eight hour class on how to breathe because you're going to be pulling so many g's. And I'm

in my twenties. I'm cocky. I'm like, yeh, whatever, man, I'm half listening, right. So they put me in the two seater and forgive me, this is over twenty years ago. I don't remember. I think it was an F sixteen. I don't know what the two seater was. It might've even been like an F one oh something. I don't know, but uh, we get in. I've done my my test and they make you do this like like I don't want to breathe in the mic because it'll sound weird,

but it's like labor breathing. Okay, So I get in the jet, we take off, just the takeoff, I borderline tap out. Okay, this dude, I tap out twice. And this isn't even from tricks. Just turns where literally like he goes, if it feels good, you're not breathing. I said, what do you mean? He goes, if it starts to feel good, if you feel high, you're not breathing, right, I said, okay, And that basically like as in jiu jitsu, like they say tap when you when it feels good,

that means you're about to go to sleep. Twice I had to tap because I forgot to breathe, and the breathing is the hardest part. At one point in the air, I said how long would it take us to get to LA? He said about fifteen minutes? And I literally was just like, oh my god. So anyway, I like going fast. We fly back, I go back and and now I'm back ready to go to work, talking to Vince about the promo class. Who I like, who I don't.

And the storyline going on at the time was the Nexus, and this was Wade, Barrett and Michael something I can't remember saying, but it was a big group that came up to like take on kind of like how the Shield took on, like the Current Stars. This was they were taking on that eras current Stars. So they were going after Randy who was a heel, and John who was a babyface, and John sold big for him, like horror movie sells, right, because they were really trying to

get this group over. They thought they had a couple solid bangers in there. Right. So I'm doing my promo class and I have a lot of these guys and girls in there now, and we're getting to use like really big rooms, like sometimes even the cafeteria because we'd have so many people in there. And now I got these Nexus cats, right, And there was this one dude named Fred, and y'all, if you watch then they he

wrestled under the name Darren Young. His real name is Fred Rosser, and he's now out of out of the closet, and and everyone knows that that Fred is a gay wrestler, and I think was the first one to come out while under the employee of WWE, but certainly not the first gay wrestler in the WWE. If you know about Pat Patterson, everyone in the company knew Pat was. He

was very open about it and everyone embraced him. So at this point in time, though Fred was not out and he was a young wrestler, he was coming up and U so now I think he's in New Japan wrestling now. So if you're a big wrestling fan, he's built from stone, looks great, solid user. And we used to call him Black John Cena because he looked just like John Cena. But if John was black, even his face, it was crazy. You put him side by side and

it looked like the exact same dude. I think John even cut a promo on it in like an actual storyline where he's like, maybe we did have the same father, but I hate you anyway. I'm fighting for justice. So so we're doing the promo classes and it's a lot of you you going against me because Vince likes that, right, So it's we're going to have a fight and you're going to give me a reason to watch Like that if you remember the dog story, you're a dog, and

you're a dog. Now make me want to watch you fight. So a more productive way to accomplish that is to give them a reason to fight, like I did with Kea Stevens and with Beth Phoenix if you remember from last week's episode. So William also known as Stephenriegal is and was one of the single most helpful human beings while I worked at that company. He would warn me

about people. He would help show me what wrestler strengths were and to write my promos to fit the type of wrestler they were, because I was not doing that. You don't want to write a luchador like a big man. You don't want to write a big man like a high flyer. There's a different attitude. When you're seven feet tall. You don't have to say as much you're seven feet tall. I kind of equate it to Darth Vader. You don't have to give Darth Vader at a lot of dialogue.

And you notice he only moves when he has to. There's no wasted movement with Darth Vader, which was the same crap I would hear in the production. Not crap. This is good crap, the same stuff I would hear in the production meetings when they would talk about, you know, tell these guys, the big guys, to slow down. Less is more And there's something I know a lot of people disagree with that, but I tend to agree with it.

It's more. It's what made Frankenstein so scary, right is It's why pepe lepu we were amazed with him, Like how can someone ask slow? Always catch always catch them right? So it may be dated, but with the big guys, they don't want them, you know, flying around everywhere. Vince doesn't want his guys and his girls getting hurt, which is why that WWE style is less exciting because he

feels it prevents injuries. So Steven has been getting me hip to it, and he asks me if he can come in and cut a promo and I'm like, yeah, man, you want me to pick something for He goes, oh, no, no, no, I have something. I said, all right, dude. So he comes in and I it was either the Saint Crispin's Day from Henry the Fifth, which is no joke, or it was from Hamlet, and I feel like it was

from Hamlet. Otherwise I don't know why I remember this line, but I feel like I remember Steven saying the world is nothing more to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors, and that I know for sure is from Hamlet, so I think it was Hamlet. So he cuts this, and then he's trying to explain why he chose this to all these young wrestlers, and he said he was talking about the iambic pentameter, which is sort

of the rhythm and cadence required by Shakespeare. He's trying to explain that you can tell a story whether you speak English or not. There were a couple of Japanese wrestlers in the room at the time. You can communis Kate a story whether you speak Spanish better than English, the same way he communed. Those communicated those feelings from that monologue to everyone in there, and everyone knew exactly

what he was saying. When you say someone, this world does nothing more to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors, I'm communicating a message to you with a whole bunch of words that neither one of us will ever use again in our entire life. But you know exactly what I'm talking about. You go, whoa, Freddie is a little depressed. Oh you do, and that message has been communicated beautifully, right, So I think Funaki was

in there. And by the way, I got a great Funaki story, kung should we do a Japanese side quest? Should we do a side quest? All right, we're doing a side quest? Okay. So it's a SmackDown. It's over and Shane Hurricane Helms and some of the writers and my buddy Angelo the writer, We're all having like a beer at the hotel, and you know, after a couple in, Shane goes, man, I wish we could get I wish we'd get Funaki over again. And Angela is like, yeah, well,

let's let's think of something. He goes, oh, then it wouldn't buy anything we'd do, and he goes, do we can think of something? And this is all credit to Shane. Okay, I think he even wrote the song that Artruth saying to him later on. But uh, he goes, what about what if it was kung Fu Naki? And all the writers are drunk and they're like, wait what He goes, yeah, like kung Fu? Hey, if we can sing the song

Everybody loves Kong Fu Naki. That dude can't drink some socke and he had like this whole freestyle jam that they all fell in love with. And I was in the writer's room one day and they're pitching this and I'm like, yo, wait what And Shane comes in and they go, Shane, what about Kung Funaki? And Shane just looks at the board and he sees how he booked it and he goes, yeah, that's pretty fucking funny, and

he just walked out of the room. And that's when we gave Funaki the Daniel song Crane Kick, and MVP sold it better than Johnny Lawrence did in that movie Are You Getting Man? Come Home Baby? Sound for the Wind. So anyway, that's the Japanese side question. So we're back in promo class and Sir William Regal is in there.

Gotta call him sir, even if he's not a real knight, he should be Darren Young Fred gets up and he wants to he wants to do a promo them cutting on each other, and so Rego says, I'll start my friend, and he says, I'll never forget this man. He says you don't belong here, and you're going to quit. And Rosser comes back and he goes and he does repetition. He goes, I don't belong here. You think I'm gonna quit?

And Rigo just looks back at him and he goes, I've seen this a million times before, my friend, You're going to quit and you know you don't belong And Fred gets this like emotion and cuts like the promo of It's a shame I didn't film any of these. He cuts like the promo of the Universe. And he's straight up, his fist ball up and you can hear his knuckles crack, and we've already established there's no there's no punching, right, and Fred didn't come off the type

to do it. And there's his eyes start to well up and I'm sitting there watching and Regal's so cool man. He's like a gunslinger in the wild West. He's gonna let you draw first and still be fast enough. Like he doesn't even blink. Bro, this is the guy that smashed on Goldberg to let people know like what time it was back in the day, right, Like he does not care. But he's a good giving man at this

point in his career. He probably was his whole career, but in this moment especially, and Darren Young just screams and tears come down his face. At the same time, it's like the like Denzel Washington does the perfect tear right like he'll hold it for a whole scene and then drop it out right at the end, and everyone's like,

oh God, like that's next level technique. This was just raw and came out and he screams, I do it long and then there's like a ninety second promo of the sacrifice, the fear that this that that, And while he's saying this, I shit you not. I literally was like, Yo, Fred's gay. You could just I mean, I've work in Hollywood, man, I know a lot of people to this day that aren't comfortable with who they are based on the reaction

that society is going to have. Right, So I'm not trying to say this to like, oh, look how some morn I knew, Like I was like, oh my gosh, Fred Fred's gay. And I didn't say anything. I never did, and he's out now, so it's not a secret. And I don't think anyone else knew except maybe William who kind of had this like glint in his eye and as Darren Young. Although this was all Fred Rosser finished

his promo. You know how like British people, like when you do something sick in America, we give you that head nod, right, like people do memes of it, like Robert Redford as Grizzly Adams or whatever. They're like nod in his head. Well, British people do this smile and it's like a half only half their face works, and it's this ry sort of half smile. And Rego just gives him this that smile A right, he hits him with it and he goes and now, and Rosser finishes

his promo with I'll Never quit. And Rigo just looks at him and he says, my mistake, lad, maybe you do belong And everybody was, I mean balling man balling, and Fred was too, and Regal gives him this big hug man and you can see like Rosser squeeze him hard like that there was hurt and pain in there.

And right after that we wrote this promo forim. And you'll forgive me if I don't remember what show it was for it, I believe it was NXT, like he got moved down to NXT when it was like rookies and someone maybe or maybe it was right before that, and uh, and we gave him this promo where he didn't feel like he should even been there. And I said, do you remember when you screamed I do belong? He said yeah. I said, I want you. It wasn't my promo,

someone else's, but he was struggling. I said, I want you to feel that when you say I wrestled John Cena and he goes, oh, yeah, okay, okay, And so he did it and he hit it about like eighty percent of where I'd hoped it got, but it still got the point across and he's like, oh, I but it was more of an arrogant take because it needed to be. He's like, oh, I wrestled John scene and he got kind of a little choked up on it and he was able to kind of bring which was

a real honest moment to TV. Now. I could relate to this because early in my acting class, my acting coach gave me this scene. He used to let me pick right, but I would always pick real easy stuff and he really challenged me. And I don't remember the name of this play, and I don't want to remember the name of the play, So even if I say words from it that you remember, do not hit me up at at real FPJR. On Twitter, and do not hit me up on Instagram, because I've deleted this shit

from my mind because it broke me in pieces. So my butthole acting. I love my acting coach, but this was just Oh he was right. I was wrong, but man, I hated him for this. So he gives me this scene and my character's crying right away, and that was my biggest fear was I don't know if I can do that. I don't know if I can cry. I don't know if I can open up like that. Earlier in my career, I manufactured every performance I did until I was probably almost thirty years old, and it took

me that long to figure out acting. I didn't start until I was eighteen, so I was learning on the job and everything came real, real fast. I was not ready and not prepared, so I withdrew and pulled back, which is what I always do. And when I was thirty, I finally like this actor Gil Bellow's just I was gonna do this movie. This is another side quest Sorry, Alexis, but I was doing a play in London and he came to watch it because I was going to do a movie that he wrote, and we went and had

dinner afterwards. My cousin was with me, and this dude broke down my whole performance and nailed me on every bad habit I had. And I'm sitting there like everything this dude is saying is like dead on. My cousin I can feel is like getting mad, like he's he's getting pissed at the guy, but I'm kind of like feeding off the energy. And we finally said our good nights, and my cousin Joe was like, man, I thought you're

gonna knock him out. I was like, no, man, Like I feel like this guy just kind of unlocks him. The next night was the greatest performance that I ever had in anything I ever did in my entire career. It was a Kenneth Lonergan play called This Is Our Youth, and it was the first time I ever like broke

down organically in a performance. So I knew exactly I share that story because I knew exactly what Fred was going through the scene was about my dad with a character's dad, But I made it about my dad and the moment I allowed myself to do that and allow a real feeling that I hated at the time. I'm forty five now I have kids, so it doesn't carry that weight that it used to. Now it's just respect and love, like on his birthday and stuff. I miss him.

But outside of that, like, I've adjusted well to it. But then I applied so much real hurt and pain. And my character is supposed to accidentally knock over this dish full of cocaine and manitol and he freaks out, and my choice was I got so mad at myself because I was so stupid that I smashed the plate on the table and the plate cracked open and it split my left hand open, and I was bleeding everywhere and I didn't even notice I was bleeding until the

end of the show. Like that's how into the moment I was. And I have gil Bello's to think for that, And so to see someone else let something reel out like that, it just slap the holy hell out of me. Now that's kind of deep and heavy. So we're gonna end on a high note, and I'm going to talk about one of the funniest promo classes that that we ever had or not maybe scariest, and has to do with Natty Knightheart and Harry Smith, who was the son of a legend. So I loved him very much because

you have very big shoes to fill. I was the son of a legend, so I had very big shoes to fill, and so I connected with Harry a lot, and I really wanted to get him and TJ over and I worked. I worked hard to do it. But we just you know, I have plenty of failures. We can talk about those too, it's just the success success ones are usually cooler and funnier stories. But I failed those boys. I've never I never got over that I failed the ussos to tag team wrestling is tough, man.

I remember Vince. I was working so hard on building up a tag team division and Vin said, Freddie, I got to pay four guys for one fucking match, and I kind of went, oh, I had never looked at it like that, and again, it's show business. And I was in charge of the Cologne Brothers. I named Primo for crying out loud, that was nam Primo Colon and it kind of like changed my perspective on things and changed the way I approached storylines. I couldn't pitch for

as much anymore. But anyway, or in promo class, sorry, another side quest complete it. You just leveled up, and if you make it through the whole podcast, you get all kinds of experience. It's great. So we were in promo class and you guys all remember the rules. There's no makeout sessions allowed, and there's no beating each other up. That seems These seemed like reasonable requests as far as like an acting coach and the talent in that room go. And I feel like everyone should be able to follow

those rules, but apparently not. And it was a little Natty Knightheart who decided to break it. And so her and Harry are in there, and I've already told you, like what the state of women's wrestling was back then, and we're going to get into the transition, which was the Bellas. And I have no responsibility and take no credit for the women's division, but I did help bring

those girls up. And it was those girls who really opened Vince's eyes with their show Total Divas, which we'll get into in another episode, and how they kind of revolutionized and changed matches from five minutes to all of a sudden having multiple commercial breaks, which is just so sick. But anyway, we're still in the time where the ladies got five minutes and if they had a pay per view match, it usually got clipped to about seven to

give the boys more time. So, as Freebird would say, So they're in there and it's a repetition and they're going back and forth about you know, I don't even remember. It was like you ain't shit, No, you ain't shit, whatever, it was, right, They're going back and forth. Michael Tarvor was the other Nexus guy. I was trying to think of that early on. He had a sick promo where he just wrapped and it was amazing. By the way,

there's another side quest. So they're in there and they're going back and forth, but they're getting closer and closer, and everyone knows that there's no chance of any like smoochie smooch with those two because TJ's her man like forever. So they're getting closer and closer, and I'm like, this is this is weird. I don't know where this is going.

And at this point we were doing points. So if you changed up the sentence the other person got a point, but it wasn't over until someone got three points right, so they change it up and he says something to Naddy about like that's why you are where you are and I am where I am and Naddy just I mean it looked Richard Pryor had a joke where he talks about he wanted to be a boxer and he got hit with a hook and he said, I saw his hands start down in Mississippi. It gains speed through Texas.

Now I'm watching Naddy throw this right hand and it's like a John Woo movie. Man, it's full slow motion. I'm pretty sure a bunch of doves like took flight behind it as it traveled through the air. And Harry's hands are down at his side and he's sticking his chin out like what And Natty's hook comes all the way through open hand hook right, like the way if you saw the Godfather talk about how he used to open hand slap people off of stools. It's like a

Godfather slap bah. And it sounds like two by fours smashing together to simulate a gunshot. And everyone in the class, including me, at the same time, goes and then I jump out of my seat before I even let the breath out, and instead of breathing out, I just go what off? And I curse. Right, I'm trying to control myself, but it was a big f bomb and I'm not mad. I'm scared because I mean, it's the loudest shot I've ever heard of my life. And Harry looks at me

with a freaking smile on his face. He goes, bro, It's all good, like nothing happened. And you know, look, I'm an actor. Actors are soft as hell, man. Like I've seen dudes not be able to work for two weeks just because their feelings got hurt. So this is all new to me, man. But this dude took the shot of I'm telling you, to this day, I've never heard anyone get hit that hard in my life. I'm including UFC kicks where you hear like an Edison Barbosa

foot slap on that one tall skinny dude's face. Back in the day, it was like, what that ain't shit compared to this Canadian right hand that literally game speed through Alberta and then just made contact in whatever city we were in. It was we gotta have Natty on the show one day as a guess, I just gotta know what she was thinking when he did that, because in her eyes, he deserved it, and I ain't gonna

argue with the girl. So that said, guys made it through like five side quists today, So you guys are the real winners, and I'll speak with you guys all on the next WWF Wrestling with Freddie.
