The upcoming presentation is a two-man power trip on wrestling podcast production.

0:07.0

And now for something completely different.

0:12.0

Hey, I was, I'm a Hall of Fame. I'm in three Halls of Fame.

0:16.0

For the young fans, they don't give a damn. They just give a damn about themselves and what they're hearing now.

0:22.1

And I got no problem with those rules.

0:21.2

I know the rules going in. I'm happy to play the game that way. And when Ivan came off with that knee drop on the top rope and he bent me, I thought that something happened. I couldn't hear a thing. You could have heard the pin drop in that arena. It touched me so deeply that when I went in a dressing room,

1:36.3

They really believe that that guy that they loved to hate was actually a pretty decent guy.

1:41.3

And I think many people have the perception that I really was that character.
