Scott Lincoln says that he thinks that freestyle is way more entertaining. what do you do you enjoy one more than the other um i like folks style i like mainly for top and bottom like you don't get that in freestyle as much but there is something about picking someone up and spiking of it you know kind of gets me going a little bit fires me up i i would think that the individual has preferences based on uh personality profiles and killers like to kill yeah getting big on somebody taking them off their feet it's all right It's, freestyle's a lot of fun.

There are some changes, collegiate changes, uh, to stall rules, stall location, etc. explaining to folks what that was. I,

I haven't even read through it. It's, they, they change. That's the other reason is so hard to follow is they change the rules every single year. Who, who's,

who's managing this? Who are the people, who are the discussion folks in the room? I have no idea. Um, Starkey, and I, Starkey, I'm going to read your text and I'm going to let Ridge to answer it on his own.

But, Starkey and Bennett says, hey, have you talked with Ridge about covering high school wrestling? Ridge? We were just talking about that a little while ago. Yeah. We're getting a little crew together, you know, me, Brock Hardy, Caleb Smith, the Anthony Lionheart Smith. It's in the works. Yeah, I'm a man of my word.

I let you let you know, we put things in Bach will tell you. There's a ton of conversations. There's a lot of things that happened. we try to make this thing work. Did you see Anthony's fight? I didn't get to watch it. I saw clips. This bare knuckle thing.

There's no way. I would never. Like we jokingly had the conversation about UFC, right? What would, what intrigues you and then what would keep you away from MNM? It seems like an adrenaline rush. It seems like it would be a lot of fun. I think it's something I could be good at. but I'm not a huge fan of getting punched in the face.

It's not the highest on my list of things to do that I enjoy. But it does seem like a lot of fun. And it's like it's different. Like with wrestling, like there's a lot of like respect like with that stuff. But like with UFC, you're going to go out there. You can say whatever you want.

It's like if there's someone you don't like, yeah, call them out. Or you can go out there and just act a fool like Josh Hokeet. Just go out there and just say stuff. do whatever. So it's like you get it kind of like, I don't know, you get, I could get my. BetMGM is an official sports betting partner of the National Hockey League and has everything for the action on the ice.

But that's why I'm constantly amazed because it strikes me that there are certain people that are built for a certain advance.

And with AJ, that seems like a natural thing, just to be able to go and say what he wants to and do it as he wants to do it. And then I say maybe to an extreme because I think AJ, somebody asked me this the other day, says you think AJ goes, UFC at WWE. And I said, if,

and I prefaced it, if he had any sense at all, he would go WWE. But then I realized what I said. AJ is AJ. Logic ain't got nothing to do with it. He wants to fight. AJ wants to fight.

Logic ain't got nothing to do with it. In there, like, there's a lot of money in WWE. You're not going to be getting punched in the face like that. Like, it's going to be different wear and tear, but you get to, like, be that persona more. But you don't really get the competitor side of it. But in the UFC, like, there's something. There is a goal that you want to accomplish. And the only person standing in your way is you.

You can do everything in your power to go get that thing done. So if I had to put money on it, I would say he goes the fight route ends up, WW. I do not disagree. I do not disagree. And it's funny too that I hooked up Anthony and AJ. Yeah, that's going to be a whole other thing. The two of them together, but we're also going to put him with Kate. Okay. So I'm text him and get him to practice because he's been talking about it. So we need to make it happen. Get Anthony Smith to practice. I can do that. So we'll get in that. We'll get it done. Kind sir. Again, thank you. Absolutely. For making yourself available when sharing stories.

Scott Lincoln says this. We'll go out on this. He says, you should have a live stream with a camera on the wrestlers watching a wrestling match. Nothing funnier than a wrestler watching a wrestling match. Most of the time they're wrestling on the side. Yeah. Everyone grabby, he said, oh, I, we're working on live streaming wrestling matches next year. I'm all about it. Like, I just need that thing to just happen, right? I just think that thing needs to happen.

So thank you, kind sir. But what are you in the Hall of Famer talking about today? He's got some trivia for me. He's excited to do that, try to trick me. So I've got to get my brain ready to go from there. But yeah, lots of lots of breakdown, including, you know, early break hit a little bit on it. Is Matt Rul and the hot seat entering this year?

Interesting discussion. Yeah, it's that time, isn't it? It's that time. Don't go anywhere. Black shirt. Take you up at 3 o'clock. 93-7 is the ticket. The ticketfm.com.
