So I guess the video clip we had the night Erickson's almost slept with Leilani Kai didn't fly very well, huh?

Listen, first of all, no disrespect to Leilani Kai or any other female in this business, but I'm not sleeping with anybody in the wrestling business.

I don't do that.

I've been in wrestling for 40 years, and I do not and have not and will not ever sleep with anybody in the wrestling business because I don't want to end up on a shoot video, podcast, book, or any other form of media talking about me.

Yeah, whether I got a Donkey Kong or, you know, like a mouse or, you know, I can hold out long or, you know, I'm quick to the draw and...

You know, listen, look, and on top of that, nobody, no girl, none of those girls, you know, who can get any guy in the world or anybody, none of them are looking at Eric Simms saying, yeah, I'm going to rock his world.

Nobody's saying that.

wow really good so tell us about your experience coming down to the gathering this year

I want to talk about it from a promotion standpoint.

There was a big football convention.

A couple of wrestlers came in.

Hulk Hogan was there, the Ultimate Warrior, and my crew, which was Bruno, San Martino, and the Iron Sheik.

Evidently, there was a memo that went around that the Ultimate Warrior didn't want to take pictures with anybody or see any of the other wrestlers there.

Evidently, he's antisocial and doesn't want to...

He didn't want to do anything with Hogan.

me.

Well, how do you guys know what to pay someone, what the market's bearing for a certain wrestler? How do you know you're going to make your money back?

Well, one, we don't.

Second, like the wrestlers talk to one another, the vendors talk to one another, too.

So if Chris had a guest that I want, I'll go to Chris.

Hey, Chris, what'd you pay the guy? And, you know, give me a roundabout and this and that.

And then I have an idea of what to offer, and then I'll try to put a package together and say, hey, I got A, B, and C for you.

This is my budget, plus the airfare expenses, airfare, hotel, yada, yada, yada.

I never tried to book

Right.

Then, uh, then when my, my business started to change and transpire to more of the agent stuff, then I, you know, we start booking him more and start get- getting him out, and we agreed to become, you know, I agreed to become his agent and work, you know, try to book him out and do a lot of stuff.

And everybody relates us together.

You know, I'll give you, I'll give you an example.

Um, I was at a convention the other, uh, back in September.

Um, I walked into the bar with Val Venis late.

Carlito was sitting there from, uh, remember Carlito from WWF? Saw Mickey James was sitting there.

I remember.
