So, this is a dark side of the ring.
Yeah.
The documentary series produced by Voice.
Yes, Dark Side of the Ring.
I've heard good things now.
It's pretty good.
Even if you're not a wrestling fan.
There's just like, well, there's a lot of weird shit that goes on.
Of course, the Chris Benoit won.
Even people who aren't wrestling fans know about it because it was so insane.
So big.
And wrestling has so many good stories.
Like, we could do a two part.
We're not.
But we could do a two part on this they wanted to.
Yeah, yeah.
Because there's so many stories.
And so many wrestlers, it's just normal.
Like, when they tell stories,
like, yeah, I OD'd, and then they...
I was technically dead for two minutes, and then they
dropped me off to hospital, and...
That's a real story. There's a guy called Sandman.
Sandman.
Yeah. He said, but do. I'm a wrestler.
Hello, I've got to wrestle.
Ooh, jupidoo.
Yeah, he was Adam Sandler, okay?
Yeah, Adam Sandler was a wrestler who overdosed
on what, Coke? Yeah, he was filming
little Nicky, okay?
And then...
I got her through the wrestling moves.
For my dad, the devil.
He was taking steroids after the water boy, okay?
And he OD and they were just like dumped him at the hospital.
Didn't like bring him in.
Dumped, like kicked him out the car.
And Nick Swarson was just there giving him CPR.
Please, don't die, I need this.
And Nick Swarson is the worst person to give his CPR because he's like breathing heavy.
Yeah, he's just like sweating.
He's like dropping like pizza grease into your mouth.
Yeah, the people give him a CPR, Nick Swarson and Chris Farley.
and then David Spade makes comment
Yeah
That's not
Touching
I don't think you give CPR to that part of the body
Dick
You're sucking dick
Big cock in the mouse
Yeah
I mean that's not quite as nuanced as Spade
Yeah
But I'm in the ballpark
You wouldn't really get on SNL
They probably pitched it
I pitched you to the writer's room
Where's Jim Downey
He's got to hear this
That's definitely something to pitch
like, well, if someone give CPR to my cock,
full stop.
Cut for time.
That'll be a Kyle Mooney sketch.
Oh, we're getting, we're getting, uh, esoteric here.
Yeah, oh, look at you.
Esoteric.
O't the big fancy words.
I'll learn one word every day.
You just relearn esoteric.
I still fuck it up.
What does it mean?
I still fuck it. I still call it esoteric.
Esoteric.
Yeah, mesoteric.
Oh, misotelteric.
Oh, misotelteric.
Wrestling.
Wrestling.
Oh yeah, let me finish the story.
Oh, yeah.
The Sandman had a...
He basically died, okay?
Okay.
They dumped them off the hospital.
Right.
He, they bring him back to life and he wrestles that night.
Legend.
Okay.
Did he win?
No, I don't know.
Loser.
What even bother bringing back?
Oh, you whore.
But what I meant to say is that in wrestling, that's like, wild guy.
That's a Tuesday.
Could you believe, and no other sport?
Imagine in Gah.
Okay.
Yeah, imagine if it was like that in Gah.
It was like...
They must be.
be in tipperary
because all I see is a big bunch
of fucking agents
it's the evil
Nile McNamara
coming to the pitch
Well yeah
No other sports like this
It's like the amount of people
who die under 40
You're like well that's just party game
Yeah that's how it goes baby
You got to put on the show
Yeah
You got to put on a show
Yes I
I'm in crippling pain right now
And addicted to Met
but I put on a good show
Yeah, yeah, yeah, God.
So it's funny because a lot of these guys,
the older wrestlers,
they're in horrible pain.
Yeah.
And they're addicted painkillers.
Yes.
But they don't have the money
to buy the painkillers.
No.
So they have to wrestle again.
To get the money.
And getting even more pain.
Yeah, yeah.
And it needs more painkillers.
There you go.
If it turned out Vince McMahon
owns the painkiller company,
that would be genius.
He's in bed with the Sackler family.
Is that what they're called?
I have no idea.
They're like a huge big family,
basically the rest of,
Rockefeller
Well, if
ain't wrestling
I don't care
Okay
Fair enough
That's me
Yeah
I'm put in my place
Shut up
Nerd
Yeah
Yeah
Actually I was thinking
If I was going to do
wrestling
Yeah
My character would be
The nerd
The nerd
Yeah
The bookworm
Yeah
The bookworm
Yeah and I get out there a book and be like
I'm going to shut down
this event
Because it doesn't meet
regulations
May I speak
To your fire safety
officer please
Boo
What would be your
wrestling gimmick
What would be
my wrestling
So I'd be the nerd, okay?
Okay. I'd be like, I'd be Uncle Bosho.
Hello, kids.
I'd be like a perverted clown man who does birthdays but always gets arrested.
That would be good.
You can use the balloons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hide a shank in a, like, a balloon animal.
They had a character called,
they had a character called Eugene.
Yeah, and his whole thing was his special needs.
Oh, wow.
So he'd come out and he'd be like, do, do, do you.
He actually special needs, though?
No, no, it's just acting.
Even Vince McMahon isn't that bad.
He was DiCaprio and who's eating Gilbert.
Yeah, yeah.
I got to do the pile driver, Gilbert.
He'd come out and wave, okay, like, do.
And then Triple H just smash his head.
I'd do a pedigree.
Retard pedigree.
Yeah, just batter him.
And people are like, yes, yes.
Just take that.
That's what you get for being born like that.
He's doing his finishing move, the drool,
Okay, so I've been watching Dark Side of the Ring
And I've been looking up some good stories
Okay
And I thought, let's not beat around the bush
No
Let's jump straight into that bush, okay?
Let's talk about the big dog himself
The reason why so much wrestling changed
And why shit now?
Yeah, this is the reason why
Chris Benoit's biggest crime
Was making wrestling lame
Yeah, that's what he did wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So we're going to talk about Chris Benoit
the Canadian crippler
The Canadian cripple
A plum Christmas goose for everyone
Yeah
Tiny Benoit
The Canadian crippler, okay
Okay
Okay
And they did two episodes about him on Dark Side of Ring
Oh wow
To a big story
Yeah yeah yeah
Now Chris Benoit
Yeah
To talk about him
We must talk about Nancy
Nancy
That's a callback to a previous episode.
Well, it's Borat.
Well, how do you know he's not copying it for me?
Yeah, actually, yeah, right.
He launched a lawsuit.
He copied my podcast.
I was recorded in 2020.
I can't prove he didn't.
I also kidnapped Pamela Anderson.
That part's true.
Right, go on.
Nancy Benoit.
Okay, so what happened is she was dating another wrestler called Kevin O'Sullivan.
Kevin O'Sullivan.
Not the court comedian.
No
That would be
That would be an interesting
That would be so cool
That'd be great
Yeah
Ah here are lads
Where I was wrestling
It was great
So Kevin O'Sullivan
Okay
He's a wrestler
Also a promoter
Okay
And his thing is like
He's like a devil worshipper
Oh right
That was his
His character
He's a Satan worshipper
And he's like
You know
And I got my devil
Worshipping girlfriend
Oh
Satanic Nancy
The Satanic sluts
Yeah
Yeah
Oh fucked your granddaughter
Facked
Great daughter
Yeah
Okay, okay. So that was like, he's like, okay, I got my girlfriend with me working.
Yes. This is great. Okay. Put her to work.
And they're in, I think, WWE first, then I think they moved to WCW, the rival company.
Yeah. Okay. But so Kevin, he's performing, but he also likes to write the stories.
Right. Okay. So he taught, hey, this would be a good story. What if, what if Chris Benoit steals my girlfriend?
Right. And start to pretend banging her. Okay. You know, okay, Fabe, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, like, I have to win her back.
And Nancy's like, okay.
That's a great idea!
Yes, let's do it.
I've already been doing that.
I've been getting into character.
Okay.
So that's what happens, all right?
Yeah.
And he's like, wow, Nancy's a great actress.
She is really, wow.
When she pretends to kiss him and suck his dick, you really believe.
I haven't seen her in three weeks.
That's how dedicated she is.
So, like, in the wrestling, okay, the Chris Benoit will be sending in videos like,
I'm with your wife.
And we're banging in heaven a great time.
It's like clubber line.
in uh fucking rocky street hey woman hey woman you want a real man come over here yeah yeah so eventually
like kevin's no idiot after a couple years he realized after having not seen his wife in three years
he started to suspect something he's like he's like it's like boyhood she's going to bang him for 12
years okay he's like wait a minute and then it all comes out that Chris Benoit has been doing the
dirty he's actually been banging nancy right and then the fights get interesting because they start
doing real punches oh wow okay so they still kind of kept it incorporated into the wrestling not
intentionally okay but they were like we're gonna have a pretend wrestle here yeah yeah but i'm
actually pretty pissed off with you yeah but also you're much bigger than me oh really so okay
i guess i'll just let you beat the shit out of it by nancy yeah yeah yeah buy nancy
He just starts banging
The Eugene
The next best thing
And then he's like
Let's have a story line
Where Benoit fucks you
It's happened again
No
Not you Jing
Okay
So eventually Chris and Nancy
Get married
Get married, have a kid
Yeah
It's all good
Daniel
Yeah I think Chris also has a kid
From the other marriage
Oh God
He lucky escape
Yeah yeah
they interview the son a lot
and you feel bad for him
because he doesn't look
I don't want to be mean to this kid
but he looks like
at the very least
he looks like he hasn't been
sleeping much
okay
yeah
I think the stress of all this
has like affected him
right okay
I may
man let's not speculate
maybe maybe he parry
a bit too hard
to deal with maybe he's been
self-medicating
who no
I'm not going to speculate
I feel so he felt bad from
so he's a dirty junk ball
yaks scum
yeah oh my dad
kill someone
yeah
Anyway, whatever.
Yeah, we'll get to that, okay?
Yeah, yeah, he'll get.
So, um, the pressures of wrestling.
Sure.
Is getting to Chris.
Yeah.
He goes back to WWE and he becomes like one of their big stars.
Yes, yeah.
And that's a lot of pressure.
I remember when he, like, joined the WWF and like, you know, he was like immediately, like, he was the heel.
But he was immediately kind of thrown into like the main title fight.
You know, he was kind of like a big dog almost right away going up against like Jericho and the rock and shit.
And of course.
The bigger you get, the more you got to fight,
longer the matches, the more pressure.
So he starts getting into religion,
hmm, good, and pain killers.
Okay.
Maybe bad.
Or maybe it's the opposite.
Which is the real drug.
Opiate of the masses?
Yeah.
You know, it's the real opiates of masses, the opiates.
According to our medical research and that.
Okay.
So, you know, and he's drinking a lot.
But in that kind of world, that's expected.
Yeah.
party hard lifestyle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The lifestyle is you wrestle, you stay up all night
partying, you travel that morning and you're up again wrestling, okay? Like, it's all cocaine, pain
pills, booze and steroids. Yeah, like his best friends. And concussions. His best friend since,
I think, the early days, was Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero.
Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero. Okay. Latino heat, hitting on the
honeies that look so sweet. Yeah, yeah. That was his
theme music. So, yeah, and they were
best friends, like, BFFs.
Yes. Okay, actually, they were so friendly.
I was like, are they gay? Because I don't understand
the concept of male friendship.
You just see two men hanging out.
You think we're in a relationship. You think I'm your
boyfriend. Yeah, he just won't put out.
Oh, such a frigid.
So I actually
was like, are they gay? Apparently they weren't. But
when I tell you more about this, you're like, it seems a bit
suspect. Well, let's be
honest. Now, the whole wrestling thing has a whole
more erotic vibe to it. They're all in their
big musly men in their underpants
sweating and grappling.
I mean, there's definitely a
homosexual vibe through the whole thing.
Thankfully. Which is fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you know what ruins it? When they
bring out the hot women with their breasts
with their bits and bobs
on display? Makes me sick.
Wrong. That's, what are those two big
tumours on her chest?
What are they?
Oh, jiggly.
It makes me sick.
Okay.
So he's best friends with Eddie.
Right.
Now, Eddie is living way harder, okay?
Yeah, he was a big, big cookhead, right?
Apparently, like, because near the end with Eddie, he was realizing that even himself, like, I can't, my body's not reacting the way it should.
I can't do the things I want to do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Near the end, he was so bad that he would just lie on the table for a lot of it.
They'd just give him a red bull.
He'd get out wrestling and lie back on the table.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
That's bad.
Just give him one.
That's basically, like, just give him one, just like, go on, get out, get out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go out, take a beat and come back.
What do you, like, he, he eventually died of a heroin over, or cocaine.
He, well, I think officially, he just had heart attack.
Oh, right, yeah, okay.
Oh, he died, yeah, he died before the Crispinot thing, though.
Yeah, that's what set.
2005?
No, there's no idea, James.
Oh, you freak.
I'm not a nerd.
Okay.
So, but Eddie, his, his drug habit was getting so bad.
Yeah.
He OD'd three times in his own house.
Wow.
The last time, his wife saw him, and was.
so sick of the whole thing
she brought the kids to school first
then went back to see if he was alive
oh
yeah she was so used to seeing him
kind of passed out
with foam in his mouth
that she's like
look I gotta bring the kids to school
yeah yeah I gotta beat the morning traffic
yeah yeah yeah you know the I-95
is a killer
so yeah I'll let you
foam about
look he's having a great time
yeah look at her he's doing the worm
Not a great worm
Very shivery worm
It's an attempt
Okay
So eventually
It gets so bad
Eddie is found
On the bathroom floor
Of a hotel
Died with a two brush
In his mouth
So it was like instant
Okay
Oh actually no I'm wrong
He was unconscious
The brush was in his ass
Yeah
I'm like
Gay
So he was on the floor
And I think someone else
Found him
And he was like
Then died
Right okay
I was, okay.
Hi, Dios, meo.
Yeah, okay.
So, Chris, you know...
Took it hard.
Hard is putting it lightly.
You got to hit a little case of the boo-hoos.
He would get in Eddie's bed and hug his pillow.
Okay, that's, yeah.
See, that's where...
That's where...
But we also have to keep in mind that at this point, you know,
his brain was already on a steady decline of, like,
steroid abuse,
concussions,
he, you know,
he was all fucked up.
It sounds like he...
His fucking eggs
was scrambled,
pal.
Yeah, his melon was twisted.
It sure was.
It sounded like
he'd already regressed a lot.
Talk about an unhappy Monday.
Yeah, sorry,
it sounded like he'd already
regressed pretty hard
to like being a child.
Yeah.
But in that world,
no one notices.
Right.
Like if he was an accountant,
and he's going around,
Bha, yeah, people...
And imagine the poor wife
Vetti, okay, we're just like, okay, look, my husband's
dead, and I'm very sad, it's very tragic.
But at least he won't be ODing on the floor.
Yes.
I can, move-hoo-hoo!
What's that upstairs? And then
this is like, fucking Chris, just hugging a
pillow and crying.
I can't live if living
is without you.
He's just humping the pillow as well.
He's just doing the crippler
cross-space finishing move
on it. Okay.
So, you get to even worse.
He starts getting real paranoid.
Yeah.
And he starts switching cars
On the way to the gym
Jesus Christ
Kind of like in casino
Yeah
Yeah
He's like driving to a car park
And like
What exactly was his
Paranoia
Like what
Who is he
Who does he think was out
To get him
People
Okay
Yeah
The you know
Who's that run
The wrestling
I don't think
I don't even know
He knew
Who's after him
Yeah yeah
Okay
Okay
And they were like
How are we gonna help Chris
So they buy him a journal
Oh
And he starts
Writing letters to Eddie
That's not
how it works.
No, no.
Still no reply.
He was like the old woman in Donny Darko just walking over to the mailbox every day,
waiting for a reply.
He keeps buying stamps.
And like everyone involves like, Chris isn't doing too well.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, no one's like, Chris is great.
Yeah.
Okay.
Even people like in the town he lived in were like, yeah, I saw him in a gym and even the
worked out was not a healthy
workout. Really? Yeah, yeah.
They were angry workouts. Oh, I see.
Like proper like, yeah.
Yeah. I'm going to kill someone
in my family, maybe more than one.
Okay.
So then one night, the eventful night.
The night. Yeah. Eddie
Eddie calls to cancel.
Sorry, go ahead. Eddie calls
to cancel a match.
You mean, Chris?
Oh, no. Of course Eddie.
Oh, no. That would be
interesting.
You've gone mental.
You're hearing Eddie's voice.
Oh, no.
You're like Chris.
Your bloody spastic.
I'm going to write a letter.
Okay.
So Chris.
He calls, he's like,
oh, yeah, I can't come tonight.
No, no, don't ask why.
The family's got food poisoning,
but I'm going to look after him.
Right.
Okay.
Hangs up and her like,
oh, it's not a big match.
It's just a regular match.
Sure.
No big deal.
Then the middle of the night,
he calls that guy again.
Okay.
And he said, oh, text him, sorry.
And he said, and it says, the dogs are in the pool area and the back doors are open.
Now, back doors?
Oh, yeah, there you go.
Well done with you.
See, I'm good at finding gay stuff.
Because I spent years undercover.
Like Serpico.
You're like a gay da Vinci code.
You just notice all the signs everywhere.
I just see, like, you're walking around the Louvre.
Gay.
Look at that.
That's gay as well.
It's that drawing of a woman
You know
Cover up the tits
It's a man
Look at Mona Lisa's eyes
What she looked
She looked at the George
Mona Lisa's cock
Follows you wherever you go
So this guy
Gets the text
Like oh
Dogs are in the pool area
The back doors are open
From Chris's phone
Right
That's weird
Second's layer
Gets text again
Same text from Nancy's phone
Okay
That's weird
He's like
Nancy's always repeating things
yeah yeah okay derivative okay yeah yeah yeah the next day no response okay they're ringing they're ringing
no response it's like one o'clock in the day yes they're like he's supposed to be on the road
hey they get a wellness check you ever heard of that a wellness check yeah it's a thing i don't
have to have in ireland but in america they have it where in certain states where they can call
be like hey look i'm worried about someone can you just go out the police come out and check okay
yeah sure yeah i've seen it in movies yeah yeah yeah yeah
Okay, home alone
Home alone, yeah, perfect example
Yeah, and the cops like
I can't check in Chris Ben Watts, Christmas
Okay, okay
So they check
And all three are dead
Oh
So the police this stage know
All three are dead
Yes
And they're talking to Vince
Yeah
And they said we're not looking for suspects
Because there is a suicide note
Well
We don't know how much Vince
knew, Vince McMahon.
Oh no, I just mean the cops
knew that they weren't looking for anybody else
because there was a suicide note.
We don't know what they told them.
Sure.
But Vince is like we're going to have
a special show dedicated to Chris.
Yeah, I remember that now.
I actually was like, ironically enough.
I hadn't watched wrestling in years
but it was like staying at a friend's house
at night and we were just like
chilling out and we were watching Raw
and then it just opens with Vince McMahon
standing in the ring, the stadiums,
empty is like, we have the sad news that our
Crispin was died and
wasn't he meant to be dead at the time?
He's like, yeah, what do you mean?
Vince McMahon was going to be, in the storyline
he was dead. Oh, is that right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he's like, this is not a storyline.
Yeah, yeah, he kind of opens like, this isn't,
we're not doing it, we're just, unfortunately
Chris Penwell's dead and they just showed old
highlight footage of his old matches,
but you, there's a theory that...
A lot of people say like, that they should have
waited until they knew the full story.
And it was pretty obvious what happened.
So they were all thinking it might be in a gas leak.
Okay.
That was an option, but I think that was them clutching a straws.
A gas leak.
One of the writers for community?
Hey, oh, Basinga.
There you go.
Yeah, that's what happened in season four.
Yeah, well, that's what they say.
Yeah, I know, yeah.
Do you?
No, I don't.
I don't know what's going on.
Anyway, yeah, so Vince McMahon basically had this, like, a memorial show,
and there is a possibility he knew what,
Danois did.
But what did he do, Brian?
For those listening that don't know,
go into it.
What happened is, okay,
he,
now I didn't know how bad this was.
Yeah,
it's actually very fucked up.
He used a telephone cord
to strangle Nancy.
Now, I knew that,
but what I didn't know is
he actually used his knee
to break her back
while she was still alive.
So while he was strangling her,
he used his knee,
he strangled her from behind,
and then put his knee into her back,
so it broke while she was still alive.
Fuck me.
I didn't know that now
he then goes into his son's room
Yeah
Okay
Gives him a Xanax
And suffocates him
Oh like a pillow was it
Yeah yeah yeah
He leaves a Bible beside boat
Yeah that's right
Jesus that's
Incredibly violent death for his wife
And kind of a more peaceful
Well not more peaceful
But gives him the Xanax
He probably conked out
And then just suffocated him
Like I thought I heard strangling
But it was strangling
you think like pain for
like pain and fear
but with the back broken as well
that's fucked up man
you know I heard like obviously
it was kind of meant as a joke
but people were
what some people did say it
as if it was serious like
I heard he used the crippler cross face
to kill Daniel
crippler crossface was like
his finishing move
where he like basically would
reach around
like who reach around
and he'd like pull your neck back
or whatever so
but anyway obviously
that would have been more
I mean, if Vince was writing it
Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah
You could tell it was a wrestling fan
That kind of came up with that little theory, you know
Chris, you know, they said he was dedicated
But, his last
His last job, he fucked it up
Got lazy and just suffocated the kid
So he leaves Bible side both bodies, okay?
Right
He then goes to sleep
He has a little lie down
For the whole night
He's all tuck her out
For the whole night
He wakes up in the morning
Gets a cup of Joe
Oh, yeah
Okay, got to start the day
goes onto the internet
Now we have a search history
He looked up Bible stories
About resurrecting children
Wow
Do you think he was a bit like
Is there an undo button?
Yeah
Control alt delete
Yeah yeah
Hit refresh
He's like it's got to be here somewhere
Have you tried turning it off and on again
Yeah he watched a bit of IT crowd
Yeah he watched the IT crowd
It's like this is good crack now
Bantor
Yeah
He then looked up hanging
techniques.
Yeah.
You have to look that up.
Well.
Suppose you want to do it right.
Sure, yeah.
No, he looked up hanging techniques.
Then he decided to just freestyle it.
Yeah.
By doing it on the gym equipment.
See, that's what all the greats do, Brian.
They learn the art form.
They learn all the tricks of the structure
so that they can subvert
and defy the rules.
You got to learn the rules before you can hang yourself.
That's right.
There's an old S&L quote.
Yeah.
Okay.
And so that's what happened.
But at the time on the TV channel on WWE didn't know so they have a...
They were just saying Chris Benoit died didn't say anything about Nancy or Daniel or anything like that.
Not like that.
And looks bad because some of them, obviously the wrestlers are confused and they're heartbroken.
They're like, this is a hey, Chris, I love you.
You never do anything wrong.
You're a great man.
Yeah, that was the whole thing.
Like they were all like, he's great.
He was amazing.
Best wrestler.
Great guy.
Good family man.
You know, uh, all that stuff.
then of course it comes out
and they all are like
Oh shit
One of the wrestler says
I trust you with my kids
Oh no
And Chris Jericho
was watching
Jericho not Benoit
Yeah I know Chris Jericho
And he didn't want to participate in this
Because he was like
So heartbroken
Because he had a lot of great fights
With Benoit
Yeah he was like
They were even like a tag team
Together at one point
But he said he got
He knew something
Was really fucked up
Because he was watching that
All the wrestlers
And there was one wrestler
Who lived nearby
So he probably would have
He probably would have heard
A lot of the argument
stuff
Right
And he could tell that that wrestler was definitely watching where he stepped.
He was like, hey, whatever happens.
You are a good wrestler.
Yeah, that was it.
Just like, you were a very...
In the ring, you were great.
In the ring and nowhere else, you are definitely a human man with blood and bones.
Because apparently, like, it was pretty obvious.
They were rowing very loud.
Yeah, yeah.
All the neighbors would have heard it.
Right.
Okay.
So, they do the wellness check.
The cops come.
This is the weirdest part of the documentary.
For some reason, the cop who they talked to, who was on the scene, he decides to tell a little funny story.
Oh, he's trying out his five minutes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
My time to shine.
Evening at the improv.
Okay.
Hey, you're eating these donuts.
Am I right, folks, about the donut?
So he's telling, this is the funny story, okay?
He's like, so me and this female detective, this female police officer go into the apartment, all right?
Tiddies.
And we're looking around the place.
Misogynist.
We're looking around the place.
Yeah.
She comes in, sees his reflection in the mirror, thinks it's him.
She puts her gun up, she says, freeze.
I'm like, hey, he's actually over here.
Ah.
Yeah.
Women.
That is in very poor taste.
Why would you say that?
Yeah.
But like, his body was hanging.
It's like, this dizzy bat.
She thought he was hanging over there.
He was hanging over here.
Your heads up your ass.
This silly cow.
Don't know what a mirror is.
are fucking
where's the telephone cord
there'll be no Xanax
for you you a bitch
yeah that's
sorry I was interrupting
while you were telling that story
I apologize so
are you angry at me
no no I'm just checking my notes
okay
so maybe
I'm getting ideas here
so they do an autopsy okay
right now
Chris had passed
all the WWF drug tests
Okay.
But there's phone recordings of Nancy saying those tests are all bullshit
and you're definitely using again.
He was like, no, I'm not.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm not.
Boo-hoo, Eddie.
Okay.
I've got his pillow.
When they do the autopsy, it turns out he was 10 times over, he was 10 times,
he had 10 times the testosterone of a normal man.
Wow.
I'll say that again because he's kind of fucked up.
He had 10 times the testosterone of a normal man.
That's a bit of a tongue twister.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
so he was just
I think he might have been on steroids
he was roided the fuck out
yeah yeah yeah
but and
what else
anything else in the autopsy
no
well he was dead
that's what they found out as well
they come up and are like
I think he's dead
well no I heard that
like they compared his MRI
scan the post-mortem
MRI scan
and he had the brain
of like a 90 year old
Alzheimer's patient
I think that's true as well
I didn't write it down
but he's true as well
like his brain was
absolutely fucked from steroids
painkillers and of course
the severe concussions
it was just like a perfect storm
of you know
negative things and he got all
fucked up in the noggin
yeah yeah well he won a belt
so it's worth it it's part of the game
you got to do it for the fans
yeah yeah yeah hey
WrestleMania go big or go home
you know what I'm saying yeah that's what the greats do
yeah that's what Michael Jordan did that
he did
you know Jordan
probably could have killed
his wife and kid
people be like
hey
what are you gonna do
they're like
it's Jordan
yeah yeah yeah
I was laughing
because I watched
Home Alone
recently I forgot
the Jordan's in it
oh the cardboard
yeah yeah
yeah
I laughed the idea
of like
because the way
he uses
the Jordan
to trick the burglars
yeah yeah
of them going like
Michael Jordan's in
this house
holy shit
MJ
we killed his dad
for him
okay
so that's
Chris Benoit
why do you get that
yeah or nay
I'm on the fence
I'll be honest
I'm on the fence
no obviously it
it is like
beyond fucked up
and disturbing
and it completely changed
like I mean
there is
very much
not to be like
overly dramatic
but there is a
wrestling
it was forever changed
there's before Benoit
and after Benoit
in terms of the incident
and what it did
to the sport
no more chair shots
to the head
like they really cut down
on all the violence
like when I was watching it
it was like
table
ladders, chairs, barbed wires, sledgehammers,
anything goes.
Yeah.
And it was getting crazier and crazier.
It had to come to a limit event.
Like, eventually things had to hit a ceiling.
That's the thing.
Yeah, absolutely.
And it did.
Oh boy, did it.
The only kind of downside is this is the biggest criticism
he can have Benoit,
is that he didn't do it in the ring.
Yeah.
What a showman.
I mean, if you do that, if you do it,
if that became his character or like,
he's always like, you know.
The baby killer.
Yeah, like, you know, he tries to kill.
Chris Rock.
Family man.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean,
he tries to
kill the Rock.
Crazy Chris.
Get your hands off me, man.
That's not even Chris Rock.
That's just racist offensive.
That's just a loud voice.
Yeah, it was just a loud offensive.
I can't really do.
I'm not a good impression.
But in the attitude era,
if like Chris Benoit
had a fucking phone cord
and was walking around like...
Just swinging it around.
Yeah, yeah.
And everyone's like, boo.
Trying to strangle Mick Foley.
People love that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But instead, he
took his job home with him
That's it
Yeah
Shame
So what do you want to do
Owen Hart
Or the fabulous mullah
I think Owen Hart
will be a fairly quick one
Won't it
It's just
Yeah
What happened to him
Well I'll talk with something
That's kind of fun
Do you remember
When Sergeant Slaughter
Turned against America
No
I
That's like kind of
It's like early to mid-90s
That was before my time
Watching
Yeah
Okay
So Sergeant Slaughter
Okay
Yeah
He was so popular
He was even in G.I.
Joe
he was in cartoons like
and people loved him
but then I think he left
WWF for a while
and when he came back
Vince McMahon was like I want to fuck with him
okay
so he brought in a storyline
this is during one of the wars
I think the Gulf War
the Gulf War probably
this is during the Gulf War
Vince is like
you gotta come out okay
and say that you hate America
and you've teamed up
with Saddam Hussein
and they photoshoped a picture
of Sargist Sloter with Saddam Hussein
like shaking hands
Love it.
Yeah.
And Vince wanted him to burn an American flag in the ring.
Did he do it?
No.
He was like, come on, man.
Eventually he burnt a flag with Hulk Hogan written on it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Compromise.
Now, you think, like, most wrestling fans would be like, oh, he's doing a character there.
No, they were like, he actually has turned against America.
See, that's the thing.
I mean, you would assume that, of course, everybody knows that it's real and it's pantomime.
But, you know, there is a certain...
level of
low IQ and intelligence
in certain parts
of America
and but then
another thing is
even aside from that
even if you're there
and aware of it
you do allow yourself
get swept up
in the pantomime of it
and it's just more fun
to be like
fuck you
you fucking
hip jab
cunt or whatever
well Sergeant Slaughter
he needed
bodyguards at all times
and he wore
bulletproof vest
during all the shows
oh that's a bit much
no because they were
getting so many debt threats
and they were getting proper
like I know where you live
here's a bullet I'm going to use you.
Of course, you can't really rule out the mental
illness factor in America that's always
Especially with wrestling fans
Who are like, I'm the heel, I'm going to shoot someone
Then I can be the wrestler
I'm the chapman
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, so like
Well, he obviously, he didn't get murdered then
No, he didn't
And eventually Vince allowed him to become
American
America lover again
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
God, Vince McMahon is a real piece of shit, though, isn't he?
I love him.
Yeah, he is a piece of shit, though.
He is an absolute piece of shit.
The thing I've heard is he's always trying to get an incest angle into WWE,
and none of the wresters want to do it.
They're all like, that's a bit too far.
Yeah.
Well, that's been and gone.
The attitude era would have been at the time.
See, the attitude era, man, it was literally like Jerry Springer with more violence.
Jerry Springer with fucking chair shots to the face
It was so smutty and trashy
Like they'd have like bran panty matches
And like Jerry the King Lawler
One of the announcers
Anytime woman come out with big dits
He'd be like look at the puppies
I love puppies
J.R. Oh goddammit King
Just calm down will you
No I can't help myself J.R. I love the puppies
Like it's such a weird work environment
Yeah it's so like
It was so hedonistic
and like racist, sexist, homophobic, everything.
It was just like so...
Nearly all the black wrestlers.
We're all like gangsters.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, no, it's like you can be...
Listen, you can be a gangster or a jungle man.
Yeah, okay, which one he wants?
You can be a criminal or someone who doesn't know how to read.
Do you know the godfather wrestler?
No.
He was like a pimp, right?
He had a pimp and he'd always come out with all these women
and he could, like, it was called the Ho-Train.
and like you know that was his finishing move the whole train he'd like run at you
there was like six like scantily clad women
and this is like daytime TV I was like 10 years old
you know what I mean it was great and then you read about the things that they weren't
allowed to yeah they probably were like can we just can we just sexually assault someone
in the stage because I'm the heel so I should be able to do that
and a jizz on her talk about a finishing move am I right hey oh
like I watch one clip of those bro I don't understand the brand panty matches is
so weird to me
because it's from a
different age
and it's not
like you know
like old carry on
it's like
oh it's fun
yeah
this is like
maybe it's because
the crowd
or so like
gone
show us the tits
and then as you said
like
fucking Jerry Larson
is like
whoa
yeah yeah
like I saw one
of those brown panty matches
where the girl
like tried to rip off
the woman's underwear
oh yeah
and like
like if that
if that's successful
we're all seeing our
pussy
Yes, we are.
Well, see, sometimes, I'd never seen anyone rip off,
but sometimes when they rip off the bra,
they'd blur out the tits.
You wouldn't get to see them, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a shame.
It is a shame.
But again, daytime television, I was a child.
Like, it was mostly children watching this stuff.
A lot of adults, too, but like...
And they had toys as well.
Yeah, yeah, I'd love the toys, the DVDs.
You can pull the bra off the toy.
I have to, I got my dad's screwdriver to chip off the bra.
And I thought, like, you know, just white chipped plastic.
I thought that's what tits looked like, you know?
I do remember wanting to do.
I do remember being in a Tice.
Remember when you were so young that when you're in a Tye store with the Barbies, you
like got like excited?
Yeah, yeah.
It's weird.
It's a lot weirder now when you do it.
Yeah.
It's like, oh my God.
I'm still being like, can I see your tits?
Can I see Barbie's tits?
It's okay.
I think like the, the man in Tye stores like a pimp.
We're like, how much?
How much for 15 minutes?
You can do whatever you want
Fucker in the ears
Fucker in the mouth
But no rough stuff
Alright
Yeah
Yeah
You see
The Barbie
You never would have had a Barbie
Because you were an only child
Yeah
Yeah see my sister had Barbies
And I had action men
So I used to like
They used to get it on
He used to be banging
Yeah
I used to make them bang
Oh yeah
And you actually had proper full
Then storylines
Yeah
He couldn't get it up
Yeah
And like then
I had like my black action man
come in and cook them
you know what I mean like
oh why are you enjoying
you have so much dear
shut up you fucking
be you ain't nothing but a little
homo yeah yeah
yeah all was good crack now
I never had the wrestling ties
myself but I do remember
going people's houses and they had them
yeah Ray Mysterio was a bit
because I was an older generation
so that would be a generation of like
Ray Mysterio and those kind of types
See, I had like Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, all those guys.
Yeah.
The Undertaker.
I'll tell you, I was in the shop in Newry last week.
Yeah.
And they had, uh, well, who did they had now?
They had, uh, the Rock obviously, did wrestling ties.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is like in some kind of pound land kind of store.
Right, right, right, right.
They had the Rock, the three wrestlers, the Rock, I think Roman Reigns.
I don't know who that is.
He's like a newer guy.
Right, right.
And then I think it was Steve Austin.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Even, even, even, even, you know, who's buying.
Well, I guess kids are probably.
these were real bad look at these were i tell you i do not think these were approved by w w okay yeah so
they were like the schmock and uh yeah yeah
quadruple h quadruple h yeah yeah yeah i also they also sold cans of pussy cans of pussy yeah it was
an energy drink energy drink called pussy yeah yeah yeah wow i'll send you i'll show you a picture
How do they just sell
You're so weird
Is it S-S-Y or I?
No, no, no
It's P-U-S-S-Y
In pink letters
Okay
It's a pussy
And then it's a picture of a scorpion
Oh
What's that mean?
Oh
That's why you always wear a condom
It's like that old
Fable, the Scorpion and the cunt
It's in my nature
Yeah
Why did you betray me, cunt
It's in my
you the evil
cunt
stings the scorpion
I don't know
well do Owen Hart
and then New Jack
okay
what about that
Moolah bitch
Ah Mula's just a pimp
We just threw her in
gender quotas
Who like pimped out
Her female wrestlers
Yeah
And people are like
But she broke the glass ceiling
Was she still bad?
Yes
So Owen Hart then
Real quick
He fell down
The end
Well he was
been lowered into the ring.
That little tumble.
Yeah, yeah.
He had a little tumble.
Yeah.
He was a superhero character, the blue blazer.
Right.
Okay.
He was been lowered into the ring with like a wire.
The wire broke.
He fell, broke his neck, died.
The wire didn't break.
Did it not?
This is the clip.
Oh, clip.
So what happened is they normally had a thing where he dropped down, okay, and he needs a second to undo.
The clip.
Yeah, yeah.
And they were like, that looks a little lame.
Okay.
Need to jazz it up, make it more exciting.
It made a bit too excited.
So on the night, all right, they had him drop down.
Right.
They were doing practice.
They were doing practice one.
Yeah.
And they were like, yeah, okay, we're going to change a little bit.
Then they didn't try with the changes.
Okay, right, right.
And then...
So what was it?
They were kind of loosening the clip so, like, he wouldn't have to unfasten it himself.
What they wanted is when he reached the ground,
the clip would go just the pressure release of him touching the ground.
would undo the clip so he didn't have to be like fiddle with it so whoever made that decision
to be like oh we need to change it so he doesn't fiddle with the clip basically kill this man
if you're teaming up with them okay okay all right um so he falls and apparently as he's
falling he's like look out look out yeah why can even have fallen anyone oh okay where did he
thought i thought he fell in the ring though in the ring yeah were there people in the ring
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, right, right.
And then poor old, uh, J.R.
Yeah.
Okay.
He was just stuck, because they were like, put the camera on J.R.
On something more hideous.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So they put the camera on him.
So he's like, there's a man dying in the ring.
Yeah.
And then J.R.'s going to be like, uh, yes, um, this is not part of the show.
Um, it seems like he's, uh, we will get, keep you update when we know what's happening.
Uh, yeah, he's not moving.
He's turning blue.
I think he's going to be fine.
I mean, his neck looks like a fucking
busted accordion, but I think he'll be
all right. Yeah.
So, um, he dies. He dies.
He dies. He dies and he's dead.
Yeah. Die. He died.
He died.
To die.
Yeah. Vince lied. He lied.
So, the widow,
you know what they're like.
Oh, here we go. Yep. Yep.
Tries to sue a great man.
Oh, yeah.
Tries to sue a great man. A great man.
Tries to sue Vince, okay.
But Owen Hart is part of big wrestling family
Yeah, Brett Hart, Brett the hitman heart
And a few other
They all sided with Vince
Really? Yeah, yeah
Oh shit
So then Vince countersooes the widow
Fuck off
Yeah, yeah
And the family helped to fuck her over
What the fuck?
Whoa
They just will not cooperate in the
Man, they must have absolutely despised her then
Yeah, well like, you know
Trying to get compensation
Yeah, yeah
Ah, Jesus
And I assume
Yeah, the fence was successful
In the counter suit
It ended with a settlement
Right, okay
And the weird thing is
Like they wrestled
The show continued
What?
Yeah
They just like
They swept him under the ring
Yeah
No, they left him there
Really?
No, I'm joking
Okay
Yeah, do we still blood
In the ring though
I'm not joking
Oh my God
Yeah and then just like
Keep going
Can you imagine
Any other type of show
Imagine if like
um an x factor somebody died and then they just danced around the corpse probably would do that
yeah yeah probably would so how exactly what exactly killed him was it like a broken neck or head
trauma or just a big smack off the ground okay that was the that was written in the carner's report
a big smack an almighty smack off the ground by okay let's let's end it with new jack okay new jack okay
now new jack i think might be my favorite wrestler ever oh okay
Yeah. He is awesome.
Is he more cooler than Benoit?
Yes. He's big. He's black and he's awesome.
I'm in.
I wish he was my daddy, okay?
Maybe he is.
So just a, so you always say you've got her life, okay?
Who?
You?
I never said that.
You always say you grew up with the project.
I did grow up in the projects, but I ran it. I ran it with an iron fist.
I was top dog.
New Jack wasn't so lucky.
Okay.
So he grew up in a rough area.
Right.
Rough childhood.
Yeah.
An example of how rough it was.
He saw his dad stab his mother.
Okay.
And then a week later he shot her in the back of the leg.
Right.
So he's kind of like, that's probably why I'm fucked up.
Yeah, I'd imagine I would have an effect.
Probably, I'm no child psychologist.
Now, any reason why?
Maybe she was being a bit too naggy, naggy.
I think she was like, oh, stop cheating and steal no my money.
Yeah, yeah.
Stop beating me in front of the children.
You're going to cyclotty damage them
And he's like, I'll show you
One of these days
Yeah
So he becomes a wrestler
And he's very successful
Yes
Now along comes mass transit
Mass transit
Yeah mass transit
Is a big fat
17 year old white kid
Okay
Who loves wrestling
And I think he might be
A little bit special
Okay
At the very least
dumb
yeah okay yeah yeah now he goes to a fight a match okay yeah this is like one that's held like
in a hotel sure yeah it's very like uh it's not televised yeah i get you yeah okay and he's like hey
put me in the ring put me in the ring yeah and they're like you can't be in the ring he's
like yes i'm 21 okay i'm a professional wrestler i've got experience in the past they named a few
wrestlers they're like well if you can name wrestlers he must see he's got what it takes
I know who Vince McMahon is
Well, I mean, it checks out with me
So they let him in the ring
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He's incredibly obese
He's, I saw a video very, very fat
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, New, I think the Dudleys were there as well
Right, one of the Dudleys, at least
So New Jack sees this
Now, according to New Jack, he was high as hell
Oh, he was off his tits and coke
Oh, nice
Yeah, nice
So can you imagine how lucky you are
If you're New Jack
This big fat white kid gets in
You're coked off your tits
Yeah, yeah. And you know, you know, probably when he saw that kid getting into the ring, just the way he got on, he's probably like, this isn't a professional.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure the kid probably struggled to get into the ring.
Yeah.
Just like the kind of bending down and going through the ropes.
So New Jack's like, oh, I got the nobility here.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you mean I can like batter him?
It's party time.
Yeah. And he, and mass transit was like, hey, to make it look real good, maybe you can blade me a little bit.
Okay.
So I bleed.
Okay, so explain blading.
real quick. Blading as thing wrestlers do. For the un-initiated.
Blading as thing wrestlers do, where they cut themselves a little bit,
they'll always have a little sharp thing hidden.
Like a razor. Yeah, either like taped to their foot or somewhere around the ring
and then they cut themselves and it looks like they took a real bad hit.
Yeah, it's like they kind of cut themselves a little bit and then the other rest of
like cracked them over the head with like a chair or something and then they split open
and there's blood everywhere and it's very...
Yeah, yeah. It's a lot of fun.
So for New Jack, okay, can you imagine this fat, white,
kid's like can you cut me
that's like for us if a girl's
like can I like suck your cock
yeah yeah can I do that would that be okay
you're like
yes I think we can come to an arrangement
so he's like oh I can
cut this fat white kid
I'm gonna cut me this fat motherfucker right now
yeah so he fucking does
he slice and dices him he cuts them
he cuts two arteries in his head
he beats him with a toaster
yeah fat
yeah
probably loved it
where's the toast
he smashes this kid
he goes down on the ground
like almost instantly
and he's just like
almost like you know
a family guy
when they fall down
like they fall down
in a weird way
where like their like
leg is sticking up
right yeah
yeah it's a comical fall down
okay
and he's bleeding
all over the place
and New Jack says
I don't care
if this motherfucker
dies he's white
nice
yes
perfect
I mean, perfect.
You can't say anything.
That's the argument.
The conversation is over right then.
It's check mate.
Now, New Jack, his kind of heel persona was like this kind of black power guy.
Like, I'm here to kill Whitey.
Yeah, yeah.
But, you know, he kind of took it that extra step in that he made several attempts to murder Whitey.
Which I respect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, he was so fun.
Now, that's a lover of the craft right there.
Especially during this time in America, he would be on, on, he would be on, he.
TV being like, hey, OJ, keep up to good work.
While the trial's going on.
While the trial's over.
He's like, keep up to good work.
Kill more white people.
Bitch had a common.
Yeah, yeah.
He would dress up like a cop after Rodney King.
Okay.
And beat up white wrestlers in the ring.
I love it.
That's amazing.
Yeah, what a hero.
Yeah, I love.
He should be on money.
You know the way recently had a thing, we're like, oh, Jane Austen should be on the five-pound note.
Oh, who gives a fuck about it?
Jane Austen.
Give me New Jack
early day.
What did Jane Austen
ever cut up a fat boy?
Yeah.
Well, if she did, she didn't film it,
so it doesn't even count.
Probably roll about it like a sissy.
Yeah, boo.
Hey, dearest Bethany,
I cut up a big fat fuck.
It was divine.
Fuck off, love.
I want fucking new jack
right now.
You can shunuchery.
job
Yeah
So he cuts
This fat boy up
Okay
This fat bitch
Okay
His little fat
And of course
Then the family
You're there
And you're like
Hey what's going on
Stop to get
Apparently the dad
Was saying the N-word
Law
Even before the match
Started
Just as he was
Coming down
As he woke up in the morning
That's the first thing
He says
Yeah
Okay
So this
It's like night terrors
But he just
Screams the N-word
And it's so funny
Because then like
There's a
Paramedic stuff
in the ring, okay, and he's just
bleeding out on the ring, and
the whole audience was like, boo!
Yeah.
At the fat kid, like, when people
come in to help him, like, boo,
they're on New Jack's side, because it's so awesome,
like, all these white people are
like, yeah, kill Whitey, yeah.
Kill him! Yeah, well, fat people
don't count as people. Believe me, I know.
Yeah. Yeah, okay.
Yeah. So, uh,
don't touch it, or two, it's low-hanging fruit.
I'll gobble it up.
Okay.
The whole thing, okay, so they're all helping him out, okay?
They're like, we love white, we love the black guy now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think New Jack did more for race relations.
Than Malcolm X, MLK.
And he survived.
If the FBI tried to kill New Jack, he'd hit the bullet so hard it bounces back at the sniper.
You don't tell him where to sit on the bus.
He sits wherever the fuck he wants.
Yeah.
And he cuts up a fat boy then.
Yeah, that's right.
So the whole thing, the thing goes to court then, okay?
And then, you know, in the court case, they're like,
My poor little boy just loved wrestling so much
He wanted to take part
But he had no idea how mean it would be
What exactly injuries, like he lived, didn't he?
Yeah, he lived, okay
But once he all fucked up after?
No, he seemed grand.
Oh, okay.
They were talking to him afterwards, like, for some like CNBC interview, okay?
And he's like, yeah, I'm good, but I can't feel
the top of my head, it's all numb.
you know interesting well yeah
he would have severed some nerve endings
yeah and it's like well that's it
yeah and in the court case
New Jack won
because the lawyer
there's like the lawyer okay
it was all like you know
oh this
this fat kid tricked
New Jack is just a performer
just an entertainer
yeah he didn't know
he thought the kid was professional
yeah I mean technically yeah
the kid lied and got in there
so he lied
yeah he should have known what he was getting into
you wouldn't get into
a bull fight
and expect a bull
not to
cut up a fat boy
yeah
you know
yeah
and also the fact
that they all said
they all said
the end word as well
that probably
okay
just sweetened it a little bit
cherry on top of the cake
so new Jack
new Jack lives
nice
fights another day
and he does
yeah
he gets up to a lot of mischief
you showed me a video
where he like
repeatedly stabbed someone
in the ring
like with a knife
yeah I mean he's a bit crazy
yeah he's a bit crazy
yeah he's a little
He's a very scary individual.
You wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley.
I'd love him to be my friend.
He's so cool having me in the...
He's great.
And the documentary is great as well.
Yeah.
Dark side of the ring.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In the documentary, they go, like, if they made a new Jack movie, how would you want it to end?
He's like, me in a wheelchair doing coke saying, go fuck yourself.
Yes.
Yeah.
Love it.
He's full of life.
Yeah.
What age would he be now?
50s?
60s.
60s?
Yeah, yeah.
He's still rocking.
He was still rocking.
He was still rocking.
for a while. I think he had to stop
in like 2019,
but like not even forever. He was like
meeting surgery and be back and COVID happened.
Oh, right, okay. Couldn't be
COVID, could he? I wish New
New Jack would stab COVID.
Give it time.
Yeah. What are we at here? We're just
nearly at an hour. Oh, perfect.
So what last thing you want to
you got on and else? Wrap it up?
No, that's about it really.
Wrestling. Yeah, it's, it's
amazing to like jump in because I don't know
anything about it. Just jump in like, what the fuck?
is just... Yeah, I think the best way to do it really is watch like a Dark Side of the Rings style documentary
because you get all the juicy bits and, you know, because obviously there's, like, if you ever
actually watch a full wrestling thing, it's fucking boring, man, especially now.
Like, I would...
Or they can't, like, use weapons and stuff, it's shite.
Like, WrestleMania is like three hours on.
Yeah, yeah. It's like, see, it used to be when I was watching it, like, the whole thing was
like very trashy and, you know, just like half-naked women and lads hit,
each other with sledgehammers and chairs
it was great you know and it was real
and you could feel the realness yeah
and hey look every now and again
one of them is going to go a little bit silly
yeah yeah yeah go a little bit of a whoopsie
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he would
be great as a wrestler yeah uh frank
spencer yeah yeah yeah that would be
someone who's a character like I'm the Frank Spencer
in 2020 and people like
Betty
oh Betty I've killed you we're telling you we're telling
phone cord.
Oh,
Betty,
you broke
you back into
oh,
like a bloody
twigs.
Ooh,
it turns you
into a
fucking
kick cat,
love.
Yeah,
have a
break,
have a
kid cat.
But yeah,
what are you
say,
your wrestling's
great.
Yeah.
Well,
it was,
it's shite
now,
but the
stories,
the old stories
are great.
What's so
funny is like
that Aronowski
film,
the wrestler,
is very grim
and depressing
but nowhere
near as
depressing as
the real life
situation.
Oh,
yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's like a fucking little happy.
That's what wrestlers watch is like, God, someday.
Wrestlers watch the hink is like a happy Madison film, you know?
It's so fucking, it's silly like just how, no wrestler, like, maybe The Rock probably and a few others will actually have good lives.
Yeah, but the rest of them.
Like 99% of them are fucked because that's the thing about WWF, right?
It's like zero hour contracts.
They don't get any health insurance or medical.
no benefits, they're all broke as fuck, addicted to painkillers.
They all need surgery and not very few of them make a pass 50.
And even recently, Vince has got a no tolerance policy about his wrestlers using like outside methods, like to make money.
So like things like Twitch and stuff like that.
Okay.
He's like, no.
He's cracking down.
Yeah, it's cracking down.
And like if you mention the word unions.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you mentioned a word unions, someone's giving you a word unions.
someone's giving you Xanax
and it's putting a pill on your head
Yeah
It's
He is
I mean John Oliver did a whole thing about it
Like but yeah
These guys
You know
It doesn't end up well
For a lot of them
So many of them die driving
Oh really
Yeah
Because they're travelling so much
And they're fucking like
Their heart's probably going
This is 87 at all times
Like you know like that
It's just nonstop
And it's just coke
Do you ever hear
I told you before
about the flight from hell
yeah what was that actually
this was after 9-11
they took a private jet
okay okay I think you were heading into New York
New York yeah yeah
and apparently this was right when the resters all discovered
what's that drug
it's think it's 2CB and what's the thing
you took GHB oh GHP
they all discovered they were like hey we're going to mix
GHB and ecstasy
and just in a little fun for you and me
yeah like imagine that you're in a little
plane, okay, with these men who were already
too big. Yeah. Like, some of these men
like, like, Andre the Giant, when he was on
a flight, okay? Yeah. They actually just get a bucket
for him when he needed the shit.
Really? Because he wouldn't fit in the
toilet, like. Oh my God. He was so, and he would have just
broken it for everyone else. So that's just, like, put a
curtain around, like an elephant, put a curtain
around him and let him shit in a bucket.
Jesus Christ. Yeah. And then
some lucky fan got to eat it.
What was talking about? That's why you never fly, coach, kids.
But yeah, on the plane, okay, so they're all, like,
like intermittently like incredibly pumped up
and then incredibly like lovey-dovey
and then just out of it
and apparently they were so fucked up
at one stage one of the wrestlers
wanted to take a piss
and he told us in the bathroom
and he actually pissed all over Linda McMahon
hey take that you bitch
apparently Vince was like
ah come on
come on don't do that
come on pinch it off buddy
yeah yeah you better finish up eventually
I'm gonna start getting pretty
peoed over here
Oh, bad choice of words
Yeah
And then at the end
Some of them had to be taken away in wheelchairs
And some of them were like attacking the TSA
Wow
So they were really fucked up on the roads
Yeah, it was wildly
That's great
Like I couldn't even imagine
And because they're so big
Yeah, you'd be so scared
Yeah, there was some other wrestler
You couldn't do it
And you couldn't restrain them
Like they just, yeah
Bull in a China shop
Yeah
And some of these wrestlers
They tell stories as like
Yeah
It was pretty crazy
Me and the guys
We were in a hotel
And one of them
got a bit too fucked up
and he got a knife
and stabbed me eight times
but you know
no big deal
yeah yeah
we were just rough houses
yeah next morning
and I bought
you know he got me a pint
next morning
he went down the boozer
and it was all sort
yeah it got me
a continental breakfast
that it was all square
I love me sausages
I was still bleeding out at a time
but I love me sausages
is that bean juice
or blood
either way
it's delicious
so that
That's wrestling.
Should we...
I kind of over Christmas,
I think I might,
because I'm interested in it,
but to a mild degree,
I might get the network.
What's that now?
The WWE network.
It's like Netflix.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm watched...
Because the WrestleMania is
kind of want to watch a few in full.
Okay.
Just to get a better idea of what it's like.
Right.
You're better off just watching
the attitude era stuff, you know?
Find out the most insane matches.
There are some insane stuff.
Like the TLC matches,
we're great like you know yeah yeah because my life's pretty bad right now and uh the girlfriend
might be leaving so all right right yes christ right come on not the time not the time no i told
you wait till you're in the car driving home and then tell me all about it when you're not there
yeah yeah yeah but i think this is probably the most emotionally healthy thing for me to do right now
is get really into wrestling yes yeah get get become start drinking a lot yeah i'm like the
wrestlers. I started taking painkillers.
And steroids.
I'm like Chris Benoit, but I don't have a wife.
I'm looking for my Nancy.
Yeah, you score out like trying to choke a pillow that smells like your girlfriend.
Take that!
Eddie!
Girlfriend's leaving, is she?
She might be going to Brazil.
Well, I think it's just because she's very depressed the moment.
Okay.
Well, all my girlfriends are depressed.
It's a recurring trip.
And they always get better
when I leave.
I walk in and I see
my girlfriend like,
are you blading, are you?
Are you taking part of wrestling match?
You're supposed to bladen your head,
not your wrist, you silly cow.
I'll tell you what,
