Yeah.

And whether we were on his bus talking WWE or catching up in Jacksonville, AEW, Paul is still Paul and that doesn't change.

What does change is the fact that there's been so many people who have given a take on this matter, and you know good and well that, as you said, wait a minute, this guy came from this time, but maybe he didn't have to do all this.

Well, you're talking about somebody in Paul White who Hogan had to call and ask him, as a seven footer, you know, being billed as 500 pounds, did you jump off the top rope? And if you ever do that again, I'm not doing business with you.

Right? So, so today you could be 700, uh, seven foot, 500 pounds.

It don't matter that the attitude of wrestlers and wrestling today has changed dramatically because, uh, you can, a big man, 300 pounds can, can work like a cruiserweight and there's no issue with it.

Right.

Yeah.
