Well, I, I, I wanna know-
35:16
Toni Sto- Toni Storm has millions of dollars written on her with the silver screen era promos set anything apart from AEW that anybody else is doing fall through glass windows.
35:28
She didn't have to do shit.
35:29
Any character could have come into Toni Storm's world and been drawn in as a new character, a new version of themselves in the Alfred Hitchcock version, not the one that is.
35:41
So once we create a world with these characters, whether it's Danhausen's world of Dexter's Lab or Scooby-Doo or whatever we're trying to do, when you come into his world you play out the games that he has set up and the crowd looks forward to that as much as they look forward to R-Truth getting somebody's name wrong, or what's he gonna do to slip on a banana peel-
40:44
They're selling Danhausen merch, but the numbers of the show are bad, period
40:46
... th- this is where you're a wrestling legend and you don't understand the other side of what happens in, in improv and how to make it.
40:53
And this is where my training before I got into wrestling, where I was going.
22:35
[laughs]

And then Mahabali Shera really a guy that they should have signed a while ago, 'cause these Indian dudes are unbelievable.
22:44
Some of them, it's not the archetype or, you know, of the person working stealing identities at the call center that you would think of when you got, you know, Jinder Mahal or even go back to the Giant Khali.
22:58
But it seemed like Veer Mahaan coming in 25 weeks along with Shanky took his spot.
23:05
So I was glad he got shined in the OVW Netflix series how he should have, but they should have jumped on him and signed him right away.
23:14
Now here's the guy who's very thankful, chasing his dream, but as the door closed there and now he's forced to do this freak show stuff, and Jake Hager opened his own trucking company, which I thought was a smart move.
23:26
I'm all about workers going into real business and using every advantage they can of that mindset.

17 MINS LATER

40:03
Right
57:06
Well, Roman and the Bloodline, that's all going to take place on SmackDown, right? Wasn't this just like – Oh,
57:10
none of that.
57:11
Like, this is the thing.
57:12
Everybody you see in the crowd that is a roster member – is not good enough to be on this big kickoff show.
57:19
We need nostalgia, legends, and whatever else, and who we deem top guys.
57:24
Next week, when the Netflix execs aren't there, we're going right back to Dakota Kai versus fucking whatever gimmick, and this dumbass segment, and everybody does five false finishes because we got to stretch for three hours.
57:38
We all go, oh my God, they kicked out, and fucking then...
59:46
I don't even know how to even argue with that,
