And then you had in Texas multiple territories, AWA. I mean, they didn't cross. And if they crossed, there was a problem. And they had a... there's a picture that really feels mafia. Maybe that's silly if you know anything of the mafia. I don't, but there's a picture of them at the NWA convention in Las Vegas. All black and white. All these wrestlers. You see Andre in the back.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Very unique body types. They're all just facing the camera. That's where they would vote on the world champion because the NWA world champion would go from territory to territory. But other things would not cross. And Vince Jr., Vince McMahon was the first one to say, hey, I'm making the move. Now, you mentioned the Von Eriks. Somebody else was going to do it.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
It wasn't a matter of somebody else was going to do it. He just, he beat them to the punch. He beat them to the punch and then everything changed, you know, because... closed circuit, became pay-per-view, and the next thing you know, off and running.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh, such a good fight.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So he brought me to a show when I was really young. He was an older dad. He was 39 when he had me. He was an executive producer. He was behind the scenes. He was a wrestling booker. He was helping the creative. So he wasn't in his full prime. But I remember when he brought me to that show, it was UTC Chattanooga. It's a building WWE still runs to this day.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And it was Brad Armstrong, this guy hit an arm drag. And just to hear the reaction and the women screaming out of their mind, it was one of those, I always tell people I have no interest in the inside behind the scenes of wrestling because I lived it. I like to be out. I like to be out there in the crowd. That narrative is what I enjoy. After that, there was nothing I wanted to do more.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And you let it be known. Oh, my gosh.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So I needed to earn his trust, because so many second generations and third generations in the pro wrestling sports entertainment space, they burn out, they turn out bad. I needed to earn his trust, and what I thought I could earn his trust with was actual folk style wrestling. Greco-Roman, freestyle, all that. Because he had never done that.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
He was straight up promo, entertainment, great athlete, but he had never been on the mat before. He didn't even know how it was scored. He would come to my tournaments as a kid, and I'd see him for a takedown, hold up like... But then it would be a two-point. He didn't know. He didn't know. And I was obsessed with it. Full-blown Vision Quest, if you've ever seen that movie. I dug in.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I did summer camps with Ken Chertow, Gramby VHS tapes I'd watch. I made it my whole life. So you loved it. Loved it. And once I ended up winning a state championship as a junior and I had gone undefeated and I had gone on team nationals and made my way around, once that happened, I think whatever I told him I wanted to do, he was good with it. He was good. He was good.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I didn't have a curfew anymore. My sister still complains about it to this day. Yeah. Like senior year, they just, he's fine.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
He's fine, you know? Yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Twice.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And that building, I guess, the Macon Centriplex, the Macon Coliseum, there was a little electrical closet that was right by where we'd all sit. Bert would be up on stage. We'd be all sitting in the chairs and I went in there and I cried my eyes out when I was 16 years old Because I had won that tournament. Yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah took like everything I could possibly Mustard to do it and then I would just walk by it do randomly doing that show with us And it's just it's a real moment.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
When I see Bert, my algorithm is all over Bert. You, Bert, Tony, all these things that have come from Bert's world, and my interaction with Bert, whenever I see all this popping off, I'm so glad I get to sit with you today because I never got the chance to tell him. Burt was the spiritual and unofficial leader of that show and was so good to all of us.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
We were trapped in this Marriott connected to the Macon Coliseum. I had the biggest imposter syndrome ever. Burt, who's talking about selling out Red Rocks, Snoop Dogg, Rosario Dawson, who's getting ready to play Ahsoka, like, is already in.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah, and I'm this big Dave Filoni fan, so I know all this stuff. I remember my wife telling me, like, you do not, you do not fucking ask me about that show. You do not. All right, I won't, I won't. Jennifer Nettles, who at a moment's notice could belt out a song that would just make you cry.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh, bro, he quarterbacked everything.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
If there was ever a show where the sharpshooters weren't sharpshooters, though, it was Go Big Show. They'd have us sit up there and watch these guys, whether it was guns and they were shooting targets or whether it was arrows. And I thought, like, is this a bit? Yeah. These guys are terrible. And then Bert would come to us for like, so what'd you think? I'm like, well... You missed.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
You missed most of the shots in there, Matt. Because this was like COVID times. We all need to be really happy. And Snoop had asked, like, it's not going to be a mean judge. We're going to be all happy. But at a certain point, like... You're like, you're not good at this.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh, no, but I wanted to thank you because you were the unofficial leader, too, and you were super sweet to me. Well, you and I were the closest.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
They messed my name up.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Me and Snoop.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh, man, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I can't accept any knowledge.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Draw that back for him. There. Hold on. Listen to this. Well, that was Chris Jericho who said it wrong. That was Chris who said it wrong. Purposely? I want to say at that point it had become a bit, perhaps, at that point. But also, and this is not to, gosh, this is not to bury what I was doing at the time and where I was.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
But Discovery now, or I guess at the time it was Warner Media, sent me to do that show. to help with the other show. And I was honored to do it and excited to be picked. But wrestling has a bad habit, and this is in all companies everywhere, of not understanding we're in a bubble, guys. There's a whole outside world. There's multiple mediums of entertainment. Don't be in a bubble.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Don't be afraid to do a little crossover thing. Yeah, pure hardcore wrestling fans, they may not love it, but there's something on the show that's for them already. And that was... I'm not bearing where I formerly was, but not understanding the power, the magnitude, again, of new eyeballs and of crossing over. And also, I hate... gatekeeping when it comes to what we do.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
That's exactly what it looked like. My only moments with Mike Tyson, and I will treasure this moment always, he was a... Gosh, I think he was just ringside for a match of mine. He was presenting the championship after the match, but he saw other wrestlers backstage. And he seemed very, and I don't want to say out of it, because he was the sweetest, wonderful person.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
That's one of the things I do really like about pro wrestling fans and sports entertainment, and I wish the locker rooms would feel this more. We welcome, please, if you've never been before, because I know, Tom, you're not a big wrestling fan. This isn't true. I don't know where you've heard this. There's some quotes out there. No, I don't know what you're talking about.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
But I would say to you, it's like, hey, if you ever dip your toe in, and this is not a show for WrestleMania 41, it could be WrestleMania 42, it could be WrestleMania 45, come to it. Come, and if there's not something that you're like, ah, all right. I get it.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah. You got to come.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
No.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah, they also have the... You don't have money.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
It's in a very advanced place, so they have every seat. Where in LA is this?
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah, we saw Billy Joel play there. And every seat, you know, can measure the audio. So we have this one moment throughout the show where when I come out, I don't know how it caught on, but there's a part of my song that everybody sings the same. It's just when the dude yells, whoa, they all yell, whoa.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And they pop off a bunch of pyro, but they're very excited about this. They're like, well, if you're on that show, if we format it this way, we might be able to tell who is the loudest and pinpoint them and all that. And I thought, that's a wild, insane amount of technology. Do you think they're going to put you up to go to Raw?
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
It was very nice to talk to him, but he wasn't saying much. And he just kind of seemed to be... I guess deer in headlights a little bit. And he's watching all these guys oil up and they're using the bands and they're pumping up and all that. And he just looked at me and I'm getting ready to go out. I'm getting ready to go out. And at the time I was also in a management position.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Let's go. Let's bring your boys. You have two boys, right? Yeah. How old? Six and nine. Six and nine. Yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
My daughter's only three and a half, and I'm struggling with... how to explain it to her. Because my dad didn't explain it to me. He was just like, check this shit out. Well, no, I mean, he, so there's a term, you know, you'll hear people say the term kayfabe. Yeah. So he just figured it was best for me to always believe.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And, you know, for example, the four horsemen broke his, he broke his arm, but they also broke his leg at one point in the cage. I remember finding a cast and he had this giant closet and and it was a big cast like I had when I broke my leg on my four-wheeler, except it had hinges, and it opened up. And I thought, oh, I want that cast next time. Yeah, that's a good cast.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Not realizing that this was something that might have gone on for the public and might have gone off. But yeah, I guess the way we put it, he raised me very old school, which I wouldn't recommend, because I'd meet people like Ric Flair, and I'd meet Arne Anderson, these nefarious enemies of his, and kind of have him... like a disdain for them. Already not understanding these were your partners.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
These were people you were making money with and selling tickets with.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
You ready? I was 14.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Right, right. I was 14, and I think part of the reason it took so long is because I wanted the magic to be real. Yeah, for sure. So there's two incidents. One, I'm watching DDP wrestle Hacksaw Jim Duggan. They're on this show in Daytona, and they're out in the ring earlier in the middle of the day, like 3 o'clock. And that's not something you see that often.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
A lot of people think wrestlers are out there practicing. You don't see that that often. But they're out there, and they're just going over stuff, and they're in the middle of this heated rivalry. I remember watching it, and I thought, okay. And I'm accepting of it at this point. I go, okay, if that happens, then I'll know. And of course... DDP is in the corner. Here comes Hacksaw, big boot.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I'd seen it already. I thought, oh, that might be it. Did it emotionally affect you? No, no, because there was a prior event where the toughest man, like the toughest person in all of wrestling was this guy named Haku. I don't know if you ever heard about Haku or Flair told you any stories about Haku. Yeah, he's a big fish situation where a lot of the stories you hear are like, no way, that's true.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
He didn't take that cop's eyeball. And then you'll find out later, like, no, he did. He was all those things. Well, Haku slammed a wooden chair over my dad's head. And my dad is bleeding and he's in the ring and people are crying. And he had this deep connection with the audience. They're deeply affected by it. And I was just a young kid at the time.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So I'm directing something, some shot, something. He looked at me and just said, do I need oil? And, uh, I, um, those are those moments where it's like, It's Mike Tyson. I want this relationship to be good. So I'm in my mind thinking, what's he thinking? Does he think he does need the oil? Well, then I said, yeah, sure, sure. Oil up. And then so he took his shirt off.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And obviously, obviously, you know when you pick a fight, you're not winning. Yeah, yeah. But I'm of the thought, like I'm raised like... Hey, we're still going to fight though. I'm not saying I'm winning this fight, but we're still going to fight. And he came back to the locker room and I was sitting next to my dad. My dad's bleeding. And I remember I stood up.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I don't know what my game plan was, but I stood up and my dad like swiftly knocked me back down in my seat. And then Haku, who happened to be one of the most gentle, sweetest human beings in all of wrestling, came over to my dad. He shook his hand. He kissed his hand. He helped him take his leg wraps off. My dad was a lot older at the time and just said, I love you. And then he left.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And again, I'm thinking like, well, that should have been the moment I know clearly. And all my dad said to me was, the rules are a little different back here. We can't fight back here, but out there. So he really wanted to keep you going. But in that moment, I should have known like, all right.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Okay, well, yeah. I wanted it to be. Yeah. You know, like I wanted it because I grew up on it. I got into fights over it. That was a big thing in elementary school. If a kid says it's fake, tell him, hey, it's not fake. If a kid says it's fake again, say, hey, one more time, I'm warning you. If he says it's fake a third time, you punch him. And it was always punch him in the nose.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So that's terrible. That's terrible advice to give a kid. You punch a kid in the nose, you could break their nose, you could jack their face up. So multiple, hey, Cody got into another fight today. Hey, Cody got into another fight. My elementary school hated me. He hated my dad. We were like the Adams family. That was one he could have at least been like, hey.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Because I remember he told me as a young kid, he said, hey, you can tell them that I'm a salesman if you want to. And I thought... Absolutely not.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I refuse to say you are a salesman. My dad's fucking Dusty Rhodes. What are you talking about? But now I'm in the space where she's three and a half, Liberty, my daughter, where I do want to say to her, hey, just let them know I'm a salesman. Just because I don't want her to get caught up in any of that. Because I've seen her watch a few things and been...
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
spend more time with someone like that who's coming from you know MMA or like Mike with boxing or do they just kind of get it out of the gate well I'd rather in my case I'd rather you come fully like come and bring it bring it because we can't afford it not looking good on TV right we don't have time to train you up yeah in this moment so if you're outside coming in swing for the fences is a big quote I always really that I afterwards we like regret that
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Regret saying swing for the fences. But Brock's a great example. It's very hard for me. I'll never say wrestling is fake. The F word I get really weird about, and I don't know why, but I always say to people, hey, this reason I don't say it is because if you look at that dad and his son or the family over there, their feelings are real. So I don't need to say this is...
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
But I can tell you, if people ever wonder how real wrestling can be, the three matches I had with Brock Lesnar are the most competitive. And there's a thing when you work with a guy who's a big monster. He's a monster. Where they make you earn it, is what they'll say. You're not just grabbing my leg, even though that might be the spot. You're not just hitting me with the Cody cutter.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
It's not just happening that way. You have to actually earn it. And Earn It is as close to being in a real fight as I've ever been in my life. I look back at the three matches with Brock lovingly and so proud of the body of work we put up. But also I remember... Scared is probably an appropriate term, but just that was the most aggressive.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So now Mike never had to have his shirt off for this. Mike's standing there just looking at me with his shirt off. And I remember he had no belt on his jeans, too. It's just a lot happening. This is the greatest fighter potentially ever and someone I really, really like. But he just took the bottle and kind of went like, You do it. To me.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And I've been in fights, and I wrestled folk style, freestyle, did all that. That was the most real anything had ever been for me in the ring. And it actually gave me a whole new education on getting, I guess, to the top of our game. What it really means is there is an element of you're not just taking this. This is going to be a bit of a struggle because that man is –
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
a freak athlete, and there's a lot. Mark Henry, on the other hand, Mark Henry, because he came through our developmental and trained and all that, he's a lot like the Big Show. I don't know if you've ever met Big Show, Paul. They always had to be really, really gentle. They're so strong. Because if they effed you up, you can't be that guy, right? They had to be the most, and Big Show, for one.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah, no, I mean, do you ever hear the story about him at the Strongman, Toughman? It might have been the Arnold, where he was on stage presenting. That's Mark and show together, yeah. And there was the world's heaviest dumbbell, which it's a bit. Nobody can lift it. Nobody can lift it. I don't even know how much it is.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
But Mark lifted it, which people were reacting to already, and he dropped it off the stage. And it was like this kind of calamity. He went down and picked it up and brought it back up and put it back in the thing, not even thinking – It all worked out as if it had been planned. Mark was genuinely the world's strongest man.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
They say had he even trained a little bit harder, his records would have been untouched to this day. His son has got a preliminary contract with us, Jacob. Really? Yes, Jacob. Wow.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
He was just raw dogging it all. So I got a good – I love Mark Henry. He's still part of this radio show called Busted Open. His son, Jacob, who is going to come up and probably Brock Lesnar us all when he does arrive. We're all looking forward to it. But I have a fun moment with Mark where I was in a tag match in Cape Girardeau at what's called the Show Me Center.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
and it was a six-man, and I'm in there, and Triple H, and I think MVP are Mark's partners, but Triple H is really leading this match. Crowd wasn't great. It was one of those where the crowd wasn't great. There's daylight coming in the arena. We've never experienced that before. It's like a matinee show. Daylight's coming in the arena, and it's the only time I've ever seen it, and God bless.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I learned a lot from Mark, and I hope he doesn't get mad at me for sharing this, but I watched Mark on the apron fall asleep. I watched as we're in the middle of bumping, all this stuff. And we're the bad guys, right? We're the bad guys. And I remember watching Mark just slowly. Take a nap. And then he'd come back to life. He'd come back to life.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And he put a little in his hands and he puts them on his chest, but then he turned around. Sure. Just oiled him up. And, you know, he looked good. I've put oil on another wrestler before. This wasn't the strangest thing, but the weirdest thing was right after that, he just threw his shirt right back on over it. No. And I thought...
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And when we eventually tagged him, there was not this, we like to call it the hot tag. Could be the most exciting 15 seconds of the night. There was not this big response, not this big reaction. I remember Triple H, who's now our chief creative officer, just screaming at Mark. Like, come on, Mark. This is the coldest tag I've ever... They're having this conversation as...
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer

And I just, I couldn't believe it. But we used to joke, because Mark had three, six mafias sing a song. It was like, beat him up, break his neck. And we would just add terms to it, like, beat him up, break his neck, get sweaty, take a nap. Because I saw him do it on the apron. I never forgot it. He's great, though. Mark is great.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
With Mark, for sure. Mark was always really pro's pro. I'll say with Big Show, I felt it the most because I pissed him off one night. And I pissed him off one night, and he did what's called the big man kick out, where you, like, cover him, and then the guy goes flying. Oh, ha-ha. But he put it all behind it. And I remember I, like, hit the rope. It didn't even look clean.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So he basically shot me up a good four feet, dead, cold press, nothing underneath him, shot me up four feet. And then I went to the corner to take the big chops, these big, like, soup bowls, and they were overhand. And I had my chin ducked just a little bit, and he hit me here, and... just lights out, drooling on myself. For real? Yeah, came to pretty quick.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And I don't think he did that one on purpose. I think that was more my this, because I learned so much from Big Show. But the one time he ever needed to let me know, hey, I'll kill you, he did let me know. And I was probably, I'm positive at that point. Young, green, positive I deserved it, and super helpful. Stuff actually in an odd way is like, okay, thank you.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I, uh, the logo was already the American nightmare logo I already had. So I was never about the art. It was never about the look. And I, I, I went through this phase where I was really, I was away from WDB at the time. I was trying to really build my own brand and be my own thing. I was tired of wearing other people's logos. Like I hated going into Dick's and there's the, you know, the,
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Rock's logo everywhere. I was like, I want to make my own thing. I want to be as bold as making, I'm going all in on my own thing. So I had this idea that I would put it on my chest. And then I saw Conor McGregor, who was just absolutely box office hit marquee guy. He had the big line on his chest. I was like, I can't do the chest.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Then I, of course, think about The Rock, who's the biggest marquee guy and my current boss as well. And he's got the Brahma bull before all the Samoan tattoo. It was just a Brahma bull. I thought, well, I can't do the arm. That's, you know, Goldberg too with the barbed wire. I thought, hmm, I'll do the neck. I'll do the neck. And I did. He showed it to me. And it was smaller.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And I thought, that's perfect. It'll peek right over the collar. I'm always in suits. That's perfect. And I love this guy. He still helps. He'll dial it up and fix it every now and then when it needs to be. But I did the dumbest, most alpha toxic thing ever is I sat there in the chair and he kept giving me an out. He goes, you want to take a look? You want to take a look?
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
that's not the what was the point you know like like are you pre are you prepping for you take the shirt you know a lot of wrestlers might think at this point i'm gonna rip my shirt or whatever but you're not doing anything like that tonight and i do think he actually got his shirt off at one point but yeah i oiled him up i always felt good about that decision dude to oil up mike might be the best story that's fucking fantastic like what kind of what kind of person would i have been to say no yeah no mike bro he i met him on a flight yeah and he was a
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I mean, kept giving me an out. You want to take a look? And I'm, no, I'm good. You know, I'm like gritting my teeth. I don't know who the, I was trying to impress. There's no one there. My wife's not there. I'm like, I'm good, you know? And then I got up and they're filming this. They're documenting this whole thing. I got up and I saw it.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And I didn't say anything in the moment, but it's like a kid on Christmas who the gift was not. It's not the right Power Ranger, basically. And I thought, well, thank you. I think the first thing I said was thank you, shook hands, and then headed for the door. And I had to wrestle the next night.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So I had a signing that morning where I wrapped it in a scarf because they wanted me to do it fresh right away or take months and let it heal. So I wrestled the next night. So I'm at this signing with a scarf around. It's coming up over the scarf. There are people clearly who know something's up. I remember Jim Ross, legendary Hall of Fame announcer. He thought it wasn't real.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
He's a big Oklahoma guy. Yeah, he thought it wasn't real. I walked into the production meeting, and at the time, I'm reading the production meeting. I'm the boss at the end. I remember him. Hold up. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't fathom that this giant thing now existed. But I tell people, I guess in the long run, it was really worth it.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I had... I had two dreams growing up, and this is so stupid, forgive me. To do time in prison. For 20 years. I wanted to be a wrestler, and then I really wanted to be the governor of Georgia. I grew up in Georgia. I love my state. You wanted to be the governor?
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Dude, this can happen. He comes up with stuff like this a lot. That's inspiring, though, because if you watch the Arnold doc, I think a lot of people are like, oh... He said he could do it. That mountaintop, that whole thing he goes into about, I see another mountain and I have to climb it. But I've thought a little bit about it later in my life, about the tattoo.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And I thought, I don't know if everyone would understand that tattoo.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
There it is.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I assume that was purposeful because those guys screwed you over.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh, so crazy. So crazy. unbelievable so i like it so from a true crime doc perspective nothing annoys me more than okay he probably did it and then three episodes in they're like yeah he did it i need a spin yeah i need something an american nightmare that doc oh my gosh well i don't want to spoil it for everybody let's spoil it fuck him so at the end of x i always get on this is like
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Well, I mean, you haven't really ruined it because it's such an abnormal, crazy thing they're claiming. Yeah, it's abnormal. It is. And then to get to the finish and be like, wait, hold up, rewind. Did you watch the Lacey Peterson one? I did, yeah. Every true crime doc. They say he didn't do it.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah. Every true crime doc I could find.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer

They're like, I feel like the biggest red flag is like I went fishing. Here's my slip. His boat slip like right away, providing an alibi and like, oh, my gosh.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Well, you have big goals, right, in terms of – I feel like – and I could be wrong. I joke all the time. Matty, who you saw, who had my phone a minute ago, he does social media for me. He is my age, but I pretend he's Gen X, Gen Z. Yeah. What, did you wake up at 2 p.m. today? Yeah. You got your hoodie on? Yeah. He's your Bobby Lee.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I give all these people at WWE, because they surrounded me with a really nice team when I came back. I mean, really, this person's your point person here. You have to go here. They're going to be with you. All of them, I treat them like they're Gen Z, Gen X, and they're not at all. But I feel like in this generation, there's a shame that comes to effort.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I know that sounds crazy, but you'll see wrestlers get jacked out of their mind and not gassed up. They're just in great shape, and no one...
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
is complimenting them no one is it's not a thing anymore well that's a big thing now that anybody who is fit everyone goes yeah it'd be nice if I fucking stabbed 12 needles in my head right yeah always anyone we call it effort shaming yeah you know like if you come to WWE there's a girl named Chelsea Green she just won the first ever women's US title she is somebody who everything you ever give her
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
She makes the most of it, makes the most of it. And it seems like the generation that's coming, and I could be totally wrong, this could just be old man speak, doesn't seem like they have that mindset. But I always went into it thinking the biggest I could possibly be.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I met a guy, this was during my time away from WWE when I left, who I remember him saying to me and my wife in the car, because he was running his own promotion, he said, I don't know why everybody thinks so big. And in my mind, I'm connecting with Brandy on a telepathic level, like this guy sucks. Why wouldn't we think big? It doesn't mean we're going to hit big.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
It doesn't mean, but I'd rather go for it all. Go all in, go for it all, and then see where I land. Sure, you might be mayor of Atlanta. Hey, I met the mayor.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Governor of Georgia seems more easier.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Love Atlanta. Atlanta's amazing. The mayor came to a show we had, and he was like a kid in the ring. I loved it. We gave him a title, and he was just like, can I go stand on the road? Yeah, bro, you're the mayor. You can do whatever the hell you want. It was really cool to see.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I know it was a pectoral tear, right? Show the match, Hell in a Cell, right? Or should I have the picture? I didn't mean to direct anyone in that moment.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah, there it was. That's gnarly. Yeah, my mom thought it was makeup. And you stay wrestling? What the fuck? So it's a rare time. That's probably the... It's a very rare time. The beginning of the match, we had over 10,000 people in Allstate Arena in Chicago.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
In the beginning of the match, I took that jacket off, and it was the weirdest feeling I've ever felt performing in front of a live audience ever. They were grossed out and almost concerned. Jesus, bro.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yes. And I didn't have anything to supplement it. And I lied about it. And I'm, this is a, probably a prime example of they'll never let this happen again.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So about, I was talking to Bert about this earlier, about five days, I think it's five days is over the course of the bruise. Like we call it, like it grew into the Dumbledore arm. It just like kept overtaking my body. His was small. It was in there. Um,
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
This is going to definitely screw you up. But five days before, I walk into my gym. It's super early in the morning. I'm really just, I don't know. I got an open cup of coffee and flip-flops on. I'm clearly not there to seriously train. That's Burt style. Go ahead. Right, so open cup of coffee. It gets worse. Flip-flops on. And it's just me and another guy.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And all I was going to do was chess that day. But this dude who's in this gym with me is absolutely eating me up, like mean-mugging me. And I've never had a gym confrontation before. Never. He's just staring at me. And you don't know him? I don't know him, right? So he's doing all this CrossFit stuff. He's taking up 80 machines. There's two of us in there.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
It's not bothering me so much, but I get it. You're training for something. I get it. So I go sit on the bench, and I remember thinking to myself... I'm going to show him. Oh, shit. I'm going to show him. No warm-up? So no warm-up. I put 225 on the bar. It should have happened here. 225 is a lot for me to bench. So it should have happened here. I put 225 on the bar. I take it off.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
A little grimy, but I hit it down. I put it up. And I think, eh, that didn't impress him. And this is where it all... Are you doing reps with it? No, I just hit one. You hit one. I hit one. Should have known then, since I'm not repping 225. This is a bad call. So my max is... at the time, maybe 3.30, but I mean that's with a full day's warm-up. And I built up to it. So I put three plates on.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I go for the big three plates. Barefoot, open cup of coffee. I unrack it right away. They say it snaps, but I didn't feel a snap. It felt like Velcro ripping in my arm. And it goes no collars, so the bar goes like this. So now I'm trying not to be that guy. So I try to keep the bar. I keep the bar. I drop it on this. That dude... runs over to me. He goes, are you okay?
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And he helps me get the bar and put it back on after that whole moment between us. And I remember him telling me, he goes, did you just tear your shoulder or your pec? And I go, oh no, I don't think so. I went in the aerobics room and when it's, I don't know if you tore in the bicep, did you ever tear the pec? No. So it's gone. So basically, it hangs like a boob.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
The tendon that pulls into the arm hangs like a boob. And I'm seeing it, and my wife's like, I don't think it's torn. Don't worry. Don't panic. I'm heading into my first main event for WWE since my return. This is just my dream here. I'm panicked. She said, don't panic. It's not torn. I get in a plank position, which I read on a quick Google search. That's how you can tell. And it falls.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
right there, like fully fall.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Your pec muscle. So there's no connection to your arm. So it's just hanging. So it just hangs.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I can't do this. He has a bench bet. You're getting a 315, right? Yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh my gosh, you're right there.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Also, hydrate. I'm no water in my body. Like that thing was meant to be snapped in the doctor. Cause this was, I lied through my teeth to get into this match. I hadn't strengthened my arm, you know, just a little bit, but I lied through my teeth to get to this. And after they kept saying, well, it can't get any worse. It can't get any worse. So we should let them wrestle.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
You got to see Tom's dump. It's so amazing. And that's where you tore your bicep. Here you go.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
This is like rehab. You get too hyped. Oh, yeah. Torn left. I had to tell her to get too hyped up.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh God! No! That's not what I expect. Oh no! Look how you, Peter Griffin landing too. I had something completely different. I thought you made it to the rim. Yeah, I tell people that.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
It's amazing what the inches, the difference.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Over. It's over. Walk away. You did it.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Did you have to get surgery? Yeah. I was out for seven months. And of course, WWE, in true WWE fashion, they filmed the surgery.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
and there's just a shot somewhere my wife has seen it as soon as the guy opened me up this is after hearing like can't get any worse yeah can't get any worse well clearly this match that went 25 plus minutes with a table bump and all this maybe it built some swelling up this dude cuts me open straight to the ceiling just blood just shoot straight up just straight in my brandy's just watching you know just couldn't believe it yeah so it might maybe get a little swelling involved there
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh, man. Yeah, but that right there will never happen again because I snuck it in. No one saw it.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh, my gosh. Completely different. Completely different. I don't touch. I won't even step on the gym floor unless I've got a thing, a shaker bottle, whatever it may be, with aminos in there, and I've already consumed half of it. Also, no flat bench. Flat bench was a hard thing to go. I've been doing it since high school. It's like the first. My favorite exercise. Exactly. No more flat bench.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah, no, I'll do cable crossover. I'll do dumbbell press. Hammer press kind of stuff. Yeah, I'll do anything like that, but no flat bench.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh, yeah, yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I had a good run with it, but never again do I want to find myself under the bar in any situation like that. You got it, dude. January 1st. Is January 1st when you're doing it? January 1st. You have to have it by January 1st and you're hitting 295? I hit 295 twice yesterday. No bench shirt, right? What? You're not wearing a bench shirt.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
You got somebody just behind you? Yeah. Man, you got it. Just warm up, dude. Yeah, warm up, though. Warm up. Warm up, hydrate. I'm sorry you got hurt after you'd already warmed up. But that's, I like the mindset. That's the best thing that ever happened to me. But also the camera's on. The camera's on. Red light guy. Go for it. Live forever, man.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah, right, right. Cameras are on, man. Go for it.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Seeing the inch thing, though, is... So whenever we do cage matches in wrestling, everybody always wants you to jump off the cage. And I had done a moonsault off a cage, which is a backflip, once before. Jesus Christ, dude. I have gotten to the age...
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Where, even if it's in my mind, like, hey, if I climb up there, you know, be on a knee, if I turn around, just get me with a little bit of your shoulder or whatever, we're going down, because I've done this a bunch of times now. But now, this just happened, I was in a cage match recently, I climbed to the top, and if I'm just staring at you, I'm just jumping like that.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I'm not, sorry, there's no rotation. This happened recently, too, where I climbed up there, and this was on TV, and I thought... Not going backwards.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I'm terrified of heights.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
You gotta go. This was a smaller... This was MSG. This was go backwards. No, fuck all that. That one is not too bad. There's another one off a cage that was way too high. There's one where I blew my knee. But going backwards where your head follows the body, all that stuff you hear. You don't want to have that panic moment. So now if I'm just staring at you from the top,
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
It's just this one right here. The people are equally as impressed. They're very much in love with it, thinking it's only the boys backstage who will be like, hey, so no Musso, huh?
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I talked with you about this. You could do plenty.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer

Oh, man.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer

You're good. You're good. Great.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Your wash appointment, right? I like your aesthetic, though, for when I'm retired. That's what I want. Yeah? I want that aesthetic. How far do you see retirement away? Well, 39 now. I'd say my contract is running until – I don't want to wrestle full time, definitely past 45. Drop in, for sure. Keep myself in, but I've been doing this full time.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I could see that.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Well, we talked about the governor thing. I mean, that is one thing, but you want to do other things too. I would love to tell stories like we do in the ring in a different fashion, if that's following a little bit. Oh, you could do a theater tour.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
oh yeah arena tour just yeah but you want to make shows and movies yeah i would i'd absolutely love love to do it um but i've always been so linked into wrestling and coming back to wwe where winning the championship for wwe is essentially like being the quarterback of the team yeah so it's it's been the most fun and rewarding time i've ever had in my career but i can definitely see i i don't think i'd be able to do it on this level because i feel the best i've ever felt you
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I feel the best I've ever felt at what to do in front of a live crowd. Plus, we have all these new kids. I was working with one the other day, Carmelo Hayes, really young guy coming up from our developmental system. And to be able to see him hear things and hear an audience and, okay, this is why that didn't work. This is why it did work. I'd love to do it at this level up until probably 45.

Mitch Hedberg and I'm like no I know who Joe Rogan is and you're like okay but you don't know like the guys in New York are there people that like that come into wrestling that don't know your dad really yes and I have found and I don't know if it's the same in comedy not to get mad at them right not to for not knowing what they don't know right not to it was a long time ago we think of like Macho Man and Hogan like it was yesterday it was almost 30 years ago
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Exactly. It's a very long time ago. You talking to me about the Von Eriks was like, okay, now that Iron Claw is out, this is pre-Iron Claw. I don't get mad at them for not knowing, but I do like to... The only way we learn how to do this pro wrestling thing is from those who did it on a money-drawing level. That's the only way. So in the guerrilla position, we have Michael Hayes.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
We have Mr. Heyman, Paul Heyman. We have Triple H. There's a few others. They did it. So as long as those people know when they come up to go to them, don't come to me. Go to them. They actually know the answers to your questions. I feel like the knowledge gets passed on. It's concerning, though. And you're like, hey, we've got to keep this going.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
We're breaking all these records and doing all this unbelievable business. It's concerning, but also, like, you can't get mad at them. Can you hand me the belt, dude? Of course.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Give him a little show. Yeah, he wants to see... This is a fucking... It's special, huh? Yeah, man. Yeah. That was the one. So the story on the WWE Championship is... My dad had, you know, back in the territory days, you had mentioned, he had gone to the Northern Territory to just work as a guest for Vince Sr.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah. You look great. But he held it up. He had a picture of him holding up. And again, as a kid who believed, eight years old, I made it my goal. Like, oh, I'm so sad you didn't leave with the title because you won the match. You should have. It became the whole genuine goal.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Even after the suspension of disbelief, even after I transferred into the other performance side of it, I still, it was the goal. Yeah.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I'd say probably. Because now it's all, you know, everybody does the belt. So I'd say the belt is very likely from, like, George Hackenschmidt, the hack squats named after George, and, like, Ed the Strangler Lewis, this turn-of-the-century time period where boxing hadn't really taken off. Yeah. Madison Square Garden still had the... I don't know. Maybe I see ancient Greece.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I can't credit it to Ed the Strangler Lewis anymore.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
I was like, is this from 1941? But I will say, I feel like a lot of places after who were doing, you know, whether it's boxing or MMA or whatever, they kind of did model after the pro wrestling championship.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Watching you train. That's like the hat trick of the celebrity heroic sports figure. Everything went right. It was incredible. You got the number, you got wisdom.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
That's the dream. I have one more actual Mike Tyson moment that I don't know why I have. I guess I've run into Mike on a couple occasions, but he got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He did? He did, yeah, because he was a big part of WrestleMania in Boston with Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels. It's like the Attitude Era was coming into its own, and Mike was there.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
He gives Shawn this unbelievable right hook at the end. It's just great stuff, but... He got inducted in the Hall of Fame, and I was sitting with my wife, and he started going on about my dad. And my dad had a very large black fan base, very large. And he was talking about how my dad was kind of the first black world champion, even though he was a white man from Austin, Texas and all this.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And he was kind of, you know, he's obviously ribbing on the square here, and he was talking about, like, blaxploitation and just making these jokes. These are jokes that, as a white person, I feel like... I can't have a reaction to these. I need to just, you know. But my wife is black. So she's sitting next to me. So they keep, every time he makes a joke, they kept shooting us.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And I was just like... You know, like every time he made a joke and they'd pop on us, I'm like, oh, man, please. Like, I would have been gone. I would have left this thing early. Like, gosh, yeah. Mike, man. Mike's the best. Yeah, he's incredible.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer

When I met Burt on doing Go Big Show season one, I think Burt and the whole Go Big Show production had a very different idea of what wrestling looks like in 2021 or whenever it was. And it took a full season for them to kind of realize, like, okay, Cody's a different type of performer. There's a different... It's changed. It's evolved. Because at first, I think he was really expecting, like...
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
dusty. They kept asking me, are you going to be in your gear at the judging seat? I'm like, no. You're not going to be oiled up? Exactly. No oil, not in my gear. It was one of those things. It was fun because I said this earlier. Burt is one of the most wrestler He's one of the biggest pro wrestlers I've ever met who's not a pro wrestler.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So congrats. Live sports on Netflix and seeing Paul and Tyson and what they're doing at the NFL Christmas, it's the direction it seems like Netflix is going. I'm really excited that we've gotten in early on it all and what Raw looks like on Netflix will be very different from what it looks like currently and in a way similar as well, but I'm very excited.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Oh, my gosh. Right out of meeting Burt. And I don't know if I've ever told you this story, but it was amazing. It was genuinely, like, inspiring. I met Burt. They had this dinner, COVID production, one of the first productions that was happening during COVID. We're all in this bubble. Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Nettles, Bert, Snoop Dogg, me. We go to this dinner. And right away, I met Bert.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And he basically explained himself to me in three minutes as to why he was amazing, why he was famous. There was a movie rights on his name. And I thought...

The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
dog this guy out wrestled me yeah because that used to be a skill that every wrestler had the self-promotion yes and i mean if i so basically he made it so that if i didn't know him there was going to be no discomfort because you know me now in our business he is known as the promo king oh my gosh i love that yeah and then i'm and i honestly i just took from your dad because your dad would was the best promo oh man and i and so one of the reasons like when we hung out i was i

I think there's a lot of our library content, like our evergreen content, so much great wrestling history, Raw itself coming to Netflix. It's always, so from the pro wrestler standpoint, I always go out there with the idea that they've never seen me before. Yeah. So I got to give him a little burp. Yeah, you put it on the show, right? I got to give him a little burp.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Like, I need them to know right out of the gate, okay, this is who he is. This is what she does, whatever it may be.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And this is one of those cases where when the old timers and the producers and all the people we have backstage kind of are wise men who help put the show together, when they say something like, hey, there's a lot of new eyeballs out there, this will be one of those situations where it really is. Really, truly is. Really, truly is. And you have the chance to, you know, to hook them.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
And there's such a carny element to how pro wrestling used to be in terms of like reeling in a mark for something to watch. Now the audience is so sophisticated, so changed, and you have new eyeballs who've never seen it. You can't just hook them. It can't be cheap. They have to actually see someone authentically that they like, and then hopefully they stay on board.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
So mob stuff genuinely. Yeah. This was your whole livelihood. My father, there's an individual in the wrestling space that I model. A lot of the character I have after today, most people don't know him. because it was pre-Cable, pre-even closed circuits, Eddie Graham, who was in charge of championship wrestling from Florida, who was my dad's mentor.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
What did you think of it?
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
Yeah. So the Graham family, he was in charge of that Florida territory. Then there was Georgia. Then, of course, in Texas, there was world class. Yeah, there's Eddie Graham right there. Yeah, no, he was really ahead of his time. And one of the things that was special about Eddie Graham is he was really big on community activation. Like I mentioned, you have to be authentic.
2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
The Undisputed Champion Of Neck Tattoos w/ Cody Rhodes | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
You can't just be real men in the old fashioned way. They have to. He spent all this time at the Boys and Girls Club. He was big on going everywhere. That's why it was in the armory in the first place. Yeah. You know, like he was big on just a pro. Pro's pro was Eddie Graham. But he ran Florida. Vince's father, Vince Sr., ran Washington, D.C. and New York.

Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I feel like it's definitely a positive. It's not that it's a negative, but I will say that it's nothing like I anticipated it to be. What I really quickly found out is that it is almost a de facto position in the office. It's almost... it's a bigger position than just man in tights wrestling, which is great. I love it because I love the infrastructure. I love the industry.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I grew up in the business. My dad was behind the scenes, in front of the camera, all that. But that was a part for me that I thought, oh, there's a layer of... Right. Like a team team captain. Yeah. And then I tried to lean into it in the last several months where I'd like that. I like being the the big dog here as long as it's going to, you know, it's going to last. But it's been amazing.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
It really and especially for.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Well, it's always easier. I feel every week I think they're going to boo me. And every week we've been lucky where it's been like, no, we like you. I genuinely find a surprise. And every night in the way they do my entrance, I'm surrounded by all this cryo. And then it does this little sparks, these cold sparks. And then I can really hear the audience. and it's legit the coolest thing ever.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I don't know. I don't know the formula. I think there's an element of being in the family and the love they had with my dad and the connection we have. I think it's because I took them on the full ride from the time I was back at WWE. Also, the suspension of disbelief in what we do. Everything about me is I don't have a character. I am me, and I'm really happy that it's worked out.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
But I'm always expecting like, yep,
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Barclays or something. Chicago's always notoriously a tough wrestling market. And then in those places, they're like, nah, he's cool. That's got to feel awesome. I'm very lucky. At a certain point, who knows? But it's blessed.

Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Yeah, Robbie.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
When I was at WWE the first time, and I was a legacy hire. My dad was in the business. My brother was in the business. Godfathers, uncles, all that. I was in a great position. And then in the last three or four years, I technically, I hate using this term, but I technically became an enhancement talent, a jobber. And I was under the alias of Stardust. I was pain in my face.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
It just was very much, I say beneath me, but I wasn't doing the work to outkick it either. And I felt like I was trapped. So no one ever does this. What I would do next is really what set this all off. I ended up quitting WWE. Wasn't going to get fired because of the legacy I had, but also things weren't going to get better. I quit WWE.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
And when I left, that's where I got to do bet on myself, as you said, and got to mobilize the audience. I put a list together of various opponents, all different companies, all different continents, all this stuff I wanted to do because I was a lifelong WWE kid. I'd been made in their system.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
And to be able to break out and do independent wrestling, deathmatch style stuff, New Japan pro wrestling, all this stuff that you didn't see as often. I was able to bring everybody who had all the equity I had at WWE and bring them along with me. And it was all a real journey in terms of... I'm going to try and get, if this place holds 400, I'm going to try and get 500 people in there.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
You mentioned Robbie Fox. We were at La Boom in Queens, New York. And hey, there's only a hundred and some of the people here. Well, guess what? We're going to buy pizza for each and every one of them. We tried to make what I was doing, everything destination, even though it wasn't WWE, it wasn't USA, it wasn't Fox. It wasn't one of our television partners.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I tried to make it destination because streaming was becoming a thing. You could find me there.

uh that turned into uh all in which was at in schaumburg there's a plaque on the building still i'm terrified they're going to take this plaque down at some point uh me and uh mad nick jackson doing the first show ever because the bet was nobody could get more than 10 no company other than wb could get 10 000 people 20 minutes later we had 11 000 people we had this woodstock for wrestling and
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Really, everything since that moment has just sparked off of that. An alternative wrestling promotion now exists in terms of AEW and being a founder at that, and then being able to come back to WWE, be so well-received, be so trusted, and take up the first journey I had in the business, which was this. Mm-hmm. My dad in 1977 wrestled superstar Billy Graham in Madison Square Garden.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Wins the match, but doesn't win the title. But he got to do the thing where he held it up for the audience before the inevitable shoe drop from the announcer. And as a kid, that was it. That was my legitimate, no matter how you look at our business, not real, real. However, I wanted to win the damn belt for him.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Uh, and when I came back, that was the one thing I was like, Hey, this is what I'm going for. It's as real as it will be presented on TV. It's the, it's as real behind the scenes as it is in front of the camera. And I, uh, I was able to do it.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
That's a great question. I feel like I touch the belt every day. Because, I mean, how boring is it if I came in here and I didn't have the belt? You got to have the belt. To me, there's multiple belts, right? There's one that's on TV and there's one that you can kind of take on the road with you. But I keep the same one each time, which was the one that I know...
Pardon My Take

Roman War to the Ring at WrestleMania 40. I've never even touched the other one.

It's somewhere in case I was ever to forget it, but I get hands on it every day.

Yeah, while you have it. You got it.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Just keep winning. Well, that's the bittersweet thing about WrestleMania this year is I'm excited. This is another headline match. Cena retirement. But that's the bittersweet part. Yeah. I have to do what John did for all those years. Just win. Right. Right. That's not as... That's not that exciting to everybody who... Maybe he'll break Ric Flair's record. But yeah, maybe he won't. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Like you said, keep winning.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
it's, it's almost a reverse situation from a lot of guys who work their way up. Whereas I got so many things afforded to me early. And then it's going to sound like a silly, um, parallel, but really the best way I can think about is if you've ever seen the movie, the lion King, I went out there and like found my Timon and Pumbaa and, you know, I had to find, had to find what was inside for me.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
It's such a silly way to look at it. But, uh,
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
being a nepo baby or being a second or third generation in our industry that's one thing when it's dusty you know i think about some of these kids whose dads are essentially mount rushmore dads you are forever behind the eight ball in a way you're forever trying to you don't even want to say it out loud because it sounds mean but you're trying to be better than he was right
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I think the first person at WWE who realized, oh, man, I will accept nothing less is Mr. Heyman, is Paul Heyman. I think he's the first person who realized, oh, he's trying to do essentially the impossible. And I got flanked. It feels so good. But I got flanked by the best team when I came back.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I mean, there are people there, and if I could shout them out, Michael Hayes, Triple H. I can't believe I'm going to say this guy's name, but The Rock, the final boss.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
As much as what you see on screen is pretty volatile, the tools are right there. WWE right now, all those guys are right there to get that information from, and Triple H has been wonderful with me. He's been like a coach, putting me out on the field and just calling the plays, and they've been great plays. Do you think The Rock one-on-one, is that going to be in the future? Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
He did pin you last year. He did, and I'm a bit of an egocentric individual who wants his win back.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
You know what I'm saying? He's got one over you.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I think he's due for more than one match, and I would love to be penciled in on one of those. Obviously, that schedule is as intense as it gets, but he's still so involved with WWE. He could have easily been the final boss and just kind of taken that as a,
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
customary title right but he has really gotten his hands involved in what we're doing and the thing I even though we may not like one another the thing I do like about him is instantly no matter what he's done record-breaking Disney movie whatever he did that weekend and then showed up when you look at him you can tell oh he's Brother's a wrestler.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
It's in there. It's hitting the ropes and what the reaction you can get from doing wrestling moves in the ring and the promo in the interview. I really have enjoyed that connection with him. I'd like to be one of those. I think he has two matches he has to do.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
He has to do. And I'm not putting any pressure on anyone. Put the pressure on. I think he does. I'd love to see if him and his cousin Roman Reigns ever have this encounter. Maybe it's the greatest match we never get just because timing, whatever it may be. And I think we need to finish our own story with him and with myself. But we'll see. His cheat days are bullshit.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
A lot of people have a lot of opinions on his cheat meals.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I think they're fake.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
So you don't think his cheat meals are hard work enough and you think his cheat meals are fake?
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
So his cheat meals, I don't... Here's why I don't think they're fake. Okay. Because I think it's a feast or famine situation where if you diet and train like a lunatic, you will eat all 100 of those pancakes until you're in pain laying on the floor, which to answer yours, maybe it is hard work.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Maybe these cheat meals aren't such a negative... I don't know. I've never...
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Because that's what I do. I just, I just, for the record, his cheat meals have been referred to as stolen valor. Yes.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
If you had to have a cheat meal just because now we're in it on this cheat meal thing, what would you have?

Yeah? Each their own. Cheeseburgers? Yeah, yeah. For whatever reason, I've been trying to get this pizza, but then finally, I did a commercial shoot the other day, and I could have eaten it, and somebody brought it, and I couldn't do it. Why not? I...

Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Well, I think you can't do the latter in a sense that you can't just do it to get the pop. You can't just do it to, hey, they'll like this. That'd be easy. We're in Chicago. I'm going to wear a Bears jersey. You can't just go for the low-hanging fruit. It has to be an authentic thing.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
And one of the big disagreements John Cena and I have had, and we had this disagreement behind the scenes, and we had this disagreement right in front of the camera, is he feels I'm not authentic enough or as authentic as he was. And I think at this point, I'm pretty confident in who I am. You've proven it. Exactly. I feel like I've got a proven track record.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
But the answer is you can't be a hack about it. And maybe it's that let some of them who don't like you, you can't get them all. They may not like you. When I was wrestling Kevin Owens, he has a great fan base, just great equity in general. Most people booed, but there are some, you hear a wild thing here every now and then. You just got to let, you can't get them all. You know what I'm saying?
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Yeah. Have you ever seen the episode? This is such a random deep, deep cut here. You ever seen the episode of Parks and Rec with Leslie Knope running for office?
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
When she's trying to get the guy and she's bowling with him, that's the kiss of death if you're a baby face in our business. That dude's not voting for you.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
You got to move on, all right? You got to move on. That's a good point.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
The way my dad raised me in the business, which will not be the way I raised my daughter, was incorrect. And he never really gave me any insight. So I had to figure out very early on that he has a relationship with Ric Flair and That's not just Ric Flair breaking his arm in the parking lot. I had to figure it out early on, and I never really did. Interesting. If that makes any sense.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
So even if I can't win the fight, I would be willing to fight. You're like, this guy is really mean to my dad. Exactly. And the way my dad was, he might complain about something that happened on screen. He also might complain about something off screen, and they all blend together. Here's what I've learned in my position on the top at WWE and with other top WWE stars that I've worked with.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
it might as well be the UFC. When you get in this rare space, it's as real as it can possibly get in ways you wouldn't expect. And that's almost terrifying. But that's why, again, growing up the son of Dusty Rhodes, I just was his biggest fan. And anyone across from him, I wasn't having it. I wasn't having it. And I've told this story before, but it's the greatest example.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
The toughest guy in the industry ever was a guy named Haku. If you hear any of these big fish stories about him taking a man's eye out or smashing the McDonald's drive-thru window, throwing a body press lamp, they're all real. They're real stories.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I took a cop's eye out. This is a real story. You can look it up. But Ming Haku. He slammed a chair. My dad slammed a chair over his head, and he was so tough that he didn't sell it. And then he choked my dad out. My dad was bleeding and all this, and I'll never forget it. I was maybe 10 at the time. I probably should have had some. I'm backstage.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I should probably know a little bit about what's going on. I remember I'm sitting there next to my dad, and he's bleeding, and he's got his knees all wrapped up, and Haku walked in, and I stood up. This is a man who's taking another man's eye out. And my dad just like...
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
shoved me back down on the chair right next to him in a way like no and I came over and he was the sweetest human being ever oh Dusty thank you legend he helped him unwrap his knees and he kissed him on the forehead and I he left and I remember thinking
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
just so shocked yeah instead of knowing instead of oh knowing the performance my dad just looked at me and he said oh uh there's different rules back here we can't fight back here and i bought it yeah i thought yeah okay that makes sense that's incredible that's fair yeah no but it was to me there's that famous clip of the guy standing up saying it's it's still real to me yeah that that's just me i'm just saying it in a more sophisticated fashion
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I was never rebellious against him. Right. But there were certain wrestlers that I would like that I could tell he's like, ugh. Um, so he had explained to me, I liked Hulk Hogan as a kid and he had explained to me that Hulk Hogan. And again, I thought this was my dad talking, but he had explained to me Hulk Hogan stole and in the proper way stole. He was inspired by dusty.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Oh, my gosh. Shawn Michaels, we were just talking about him on my bus, too. I was watching one of his matches. I thought Shawn Michaels was the coolest thing ever. I don't think my dad wanted his son at the time to like the guy with chaps and hoop earrings and long hair, but I was in. I was in on it. So he used me, I feel like, as a test. I'd watch, and I'd tell him who I liked, and I could tell.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
He would never try to sell me against my own joy about things, but I could tell there were certain ones he thought, like, what the i raised him better you know why yeah why why this guy but uh that's how he i think that's how he kept young in the business yeah great focus is he exactly he knew like no no that's the guy for the this generation were you stone cold or the rock oh important question
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
So I was... In the moment, I was stone cold. Okay. And in the moment, I was stone cold because stunning Steve Austin from WCW was on occasion my babysitter. Oh. On occasion. That's pretty bad. At center stage in Atlanta. And he was the nicest guy about it ever because he didn't really...
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
do a lot of babysitting as much as he'd sit me in the locker room and be like hey you want a soda yeah yeah sure Steve all right stay here though don't go anywhere my match is next and then I'll be back it was really basic just keep an eye because my dad was running the show at the time so when he was showing up in WWE and became the man was and had this I thought that's that's Steve that's my guy yeah so yeah I uh I was I was with Steve early early on and then you know I I feel like I love The Rock like everybody else did as well yeah
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
He was so different and so unique. They really were great partners together.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Yeah, he was. And I had a lot of at center stage in Atlanta for WCW at the Omni at all the local UTC Chattanooga, all these local WCW shows. He'd always get me somebody to watch me. But Steve, I felt like was one of the only ones that really took it serious.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I remember Sherry Martell one time was watching me. She was not watching me. Ricky Steamboat stitched my eye up one time because I fell down the steps and busted my eye. He didn't want my dad to know about it. But how is he not going to know about it when I have stitches and a black eye? Yeah, I had a fun group, Harley Race.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Where he was just whittling a stick with a pocket knife and the scariest man I've ever seen in my life. So they were unique babysitters.

Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I honestly like to be surprised every week. Oh yeah. I like to be very disciplined, organized, know what I plan to do and be polished and prepared. But I'll say this working with Sina, I've been surprised every week. Um, that's, that's not going to be, I don't want to say it's difficult. I want to say it's challenging. Uh, if you, again, if you're meant to be my successor, show me.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
And just, uh, geez. All right. But production-wise, they're pretty on about nothing wild with me, at least. It's a really good team at WWE. They can make stuff look quite amazing.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I want it, though.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
I'm going to be honest. Just go around with you. I kind of have that already. Oh, you do? Okay. I have brothers on the bus right now ordering an ice cream cake.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Yeah, that's not unhealthy in any way, right?
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Um, well, my daughter, she's almost four. So that is the journey. Yeah. Just, uh, that's the greatest thing ever is just hearing about what's going on in her life and the trials and tribulations of super kitties. And that's just, Oh my gosh. And, uh, she saw snow white the other day, all kinds of opinions on that.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Just, just that to me, I never thought I was going to have children and me and my wife, that wasn't part of our plan. And then this has been, Oh my gosh. Why weren't we doing this all along? I know. It's just been the greatest thing. Other than that, other than hanging out with Liberty, I would say I go to Topgolf a lot.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Yes. Okay. And I'm a slugger at Topgolf.
Pardon My Take

Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools
Oh, yeah. And if somebody sets it where they're playing Angry Birds, they're effing up the whole flow. Yeah. Because that's not skill-based.
Pardon My Take
Dickie V Talking Final 4, WWE Champ Cody Rhodes, Fyre Fest And We Put The Pieces Back Together After April Fools

Oh, it's got a female name because I asked for it from Jeffrey.

I tried shirt tuck fanny pack and dip I tried to be a chewer I threw up on the side of the ring at OVW and CM Punk had to watch me and like basically why I threw up in a trash can so that didn't work for me okay and the fanny pack I didn't have enough stuff wrestlers always have there's like everything in there it's a bottomless bag what about more pyro I could always get more.

Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
If everybody around you is wrong and you're the only right one... It's not Becky's fault that she's the best to ever do it. Es ist nicht ihre Schuld.

Seth, muss ich sagen, hat eine 1000% Chance. Wenn er diesen Briefkasten hält, hat er einen erfolgreichen Cash-In.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Ich konnte es nicht mehr mit dir akzeptieren, weil du die Grafik für den Money in the Bank Ladder Match siehst und es ist wie, wie können wir nicht Charlotte Flair oder Becky Lynch oder Ja, das stimmt, weil sie alle regieren. Sie sind alle großartig. Und es geht einfach tiefer und tiefer und tiefer. Aber ich bin mit dir auf Naomi. Sie ist mein Pick auch, Biggie.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
What a year it would be for her, right? The runner-up in the Royal Rumble, setting a record for longest time in that match. And then to make her debut on Raw and immediately stick her nose in the business of one of the most dominant factions on Monday Night Raw in the Judgment Day?
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Und Sami Zayn, der auch ein Welt-Heavyweight-Champion sein will, sagt, schau, ich verstehe, dass ich meine Möglichkeit verpasst habe, diesen Briefkasten zu gewinnen, aber ich brauche dich, um das zu kapitalisieren. Also wollen sie alle das gleiche, aber sie sind bereit, zusammenzuarbeiten, weil Seth so gefährlich ist.

Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap

As soon as Seth's group interfered, as soon as Bronson and Braun Breaker are there, I go, okay.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
It'll be AJ, all right. Now I'm trying to...
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Ich meine, vielleicht unterschätzen wir Grande Americano nur als Rettungsgemeinschaft, weil was dieser Kerl in seiner kurzen Zeit in der WWE erreicht hat, er hat bereits einen WrestleMania-Moment.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Ich meine, wie lange hat er in der WWE gewesen? Fünf Monate?
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Und jetzt geht er Geld in die Bank?

Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap

Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Feels that way.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
They can't seem to counter Seth Rollins, Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
A tsunami!
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Beide sind wahr, richtig? Aber ich denke auch, dass hier noch ein weiteres Element hinzugefügt wird, weil er versteht, was Sammy am Anfang des Shows erwähnt hat, wie gefährlich Seth Braun und Bronson sind und wie viel in der WWE vorhanden ist und diese Stelle unvergesslich zu machen.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
I mean, so much is coming for Jays title, right? I mean, Logan Paul was coming after it. And Logan Paul, a lot of people see as a threat to the business.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
I think... If he can back it up, I mean, it is as a champion, to your point, it is everything is your business. But to hold on to that championship, what Gunther is saying... That's priority number one. Correct.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
I just, I mean... Gunther is a very smart champion. Not saying that Jay is a dumb champion, but it's just... Well... Business decision.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Weißt du, was ich meine?

Das Beste.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Weißt du, was ich liebe an der Entrance? Ich meine, die Jay-Entrance ist das Beste. Wir haben es letzte Woche darüber gesprochen. Ja, ja, ja. Aber es gab mal einen Tag, als Sammy Zane mit der Blutlinie war und Jeter oder Ussi fühlte, war es lustig, weil es seltsam war.
Raw Recap with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant
Don’t Worry: Liv Morgan’s got a plan: Raw Recap
Du bist nicht cool. Jetzt ist Sammy... Das sieht unglaublich cool aus, den Eintritt durch den Publikum zu machen mit Jey Uso.

I don't know if it's a personal flaw. Here, hit me back.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Okay, many years ago, there was a wrestler for WWE.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Akeem, also was formerly known as the One Man Gang.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's for your own health. I don't like the way you've delivered your point. But if Libby says it, then I'll fix it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I know, I know. But Libby is, I'm working for Libby. So if Libby don't like it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
None. He was a big old white dude that they would poke fun of African culture at with, or I don't even know if that was. If anything, it was meant more to be a direct rib and foil for my dad, because my dad was doing that without promoting it. So then they just started promoting it with Akeem, and it's not a memorable or wonderful character in WWE history.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
There you go, just so you know. But four times he went in that room.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes

I don't know if you want to liken yourself to the Righteous Gemstones Baby Billy character.

What's something you see on there that I saw the Met Gala stuff?

I think Sabrina Carpenter is a very talented artist. We'd love to have her on the pod. Love to have her on the pod.

However, I'll give you a Royal Rumble story. Akeem was pretty good in the ring. You know, him and Big Boss Man, they were a tag team, all this. But anyways, this Royal Rumble happens. I think maybe Dusty's only Royal Rumble. And Dusty's in the ring. It's a who's who of who's in the ring at this point. And Akeem, the African Dream, his music hits.

What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
All right, so Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, great picks.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So you know how hard it is to do heat in 2025, considering your brother got probably very upset at the ending of a pay-per-view, got beat up by a big old bad guy, big heel, whatever it was. And today... It's even harder. So you saw Jason's pain. Shout out to Jason for his hero.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I got a good Macho Man story that's not actually about Macho Man. It's more about a low point in my life where I, well, not too low. Rhodes Scholars period. I don't even know when it is. Don't worry about the timeline. I don't want to connect anyone to this.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That's a different situation, aren't we? There was a wrestler who was doing a Macho Man impersonation with every wrestler ever. It's really important that we don't name names here. And I'm thinking every human being ever who's ever turned a television on knows that it's ooh yeah and not oh yeah. Oh yeah is the Kool-Aid man. I know who it is now.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
If the Kool-Aid man comes flying through this door right here and makes Kyle make him an American mule, he's gonna say, oh yeah, Kyle. He's not gonna go, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, macho. Anyways, so dude grabs me and the people are into this bit. They're into this act and looks at one side of the crowd and says, oh yeah. I thought, that's weird.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Then he turns to the other side, and he does it all four sides. So the wrestling historian in me is crushed that, A, people are responding to this. They like this. And that's not, he said, ooh, yeah. The only person who might have said, oh, yeah, ever is Elizabeth when she accepts the proposal.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We're allowed to talk about anything in here.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You were at the original All In. Of course. Yeah, and Jay Lee does one of the greater macho man impersonations of all time. And Ric Flair.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Okay. I almost caused that not to be the case.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, first of all, John Mayer, we're talking about how I'm going to age, this awful look I'm going to have. That guy is going, he's going your direction. How's he doing?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I mean, he looks good there. He's a good-looking guy.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So anyways. What's happening? So this guy starts coming to the ring, and you can see my dad. like licking his chops. This is what they wanted. This is it. They wanted Dusty and Akeem. Plus they'd worked together previously. So he thought this is it. And I believe it's Roddy Piper as rumbles go. You've got this spot in your mind. You've got this moment that's about to happen.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Good, what were you saying next though?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I think John Stamos is probably looking pretty great these days.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Long story short, the original all-in show before an alternative.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yes, before an alternative promotion for any of this.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
he did he did like uh yes he did like chelsea green chelsea green um he was looking at her anyways i got an email her husband like hey boy you might want to get here yeah if john mayer wants it you know uh oh my god i almost started saying body is a wonderland uh okay anyways why didn't you heartbreak war president i mean these are the hits we're not doing the b-sides with john anyways i get an email the hits i hit it play the hits i get an email at 3 a.m uh
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
from John Mayer's manager. There's a bachelor party. They want to attend All In, the original All In, which has been very, very sold out, like Fire Code sold out. And at that point, I just thought it was a rib, a good wrestling rib. And then at 9 a.m., when I left the hotel room, I was greeted by someone right at the door saying to me, hey, did you deny John Mayer tickets? And I did not.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Is John Mayer really coming? And apparently there was a bachelor party, or yeah, it was a bachelor party, and we set him in the middle of the aisle. So as I am wrestling SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis, I looked into the aisle where you can clearly see where people walk, walk, wait. Then there's just John Mayer who's sitting right in the middle. So no one could walk by him.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
If there was a fire, it would have been a bad situation. But that was a really fun get. Took some photos afterwards.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Pros pro, and we're not going to get too far into it. But when we, you know, left the alternative promotion, we were also slightly rewritten. How are we portrayed? Very Dark Knight-esque.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
But I thought Nick was such a fun experience because all in, that was the loudest the arena got that night, and I don't think we were the match that was meant to get them that loud. I remember having a sense of just competitive pride, not ego, not mad at anybody, that we were the ones who got to steal the show on a show we weren't supposed to steal.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I like to say that Wheatley and I, we make the American Dream team, so now the time has come for me to ask you, who makes up your American Dream team? How many spots are on there?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, I think zombie apocalypse is a great way to look at it. I look at it as a war games team, but I like zombie apocalypse.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Roddy Piper just runs across and starts pummeling Dusty and ruins the moment. And you can genuinely see disappointment. as my dad is selling in the corner that he did not get to have this silly fun moment with Akeem.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
He's a fictional character from the hit TV series The Righteous Gemstones.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Okay. No matter. Baby Billy. Liberty Iris. Baby Billy.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That's not that controversial, actually.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's dope. Katy Perry's great and people are shaming it or weird.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Why are people mad at Katy Perry anyway? She's awesome. What has Katy Perry done that's like, ah, we're- Apparently she went to space. She went to space, y'all. We're trying to get to space. The planet's falling apart. Let these people get to space. So you've got Liberty. Baby. Baby Billy. Baby Billy. Your manager.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Michelle Kwan. And then round it out. Give us one more.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
To be fair. That's your dream team. To be fair.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I've never done my dream team. You know what? You should do.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
My Wheatley American Vodka dream team is... Don't say that old dog. First and foremost, my old dog, Farrow. He's in there. So I'm going to go. Then there's me. So we're going to get five out of this. There's two.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's my team. I'm trying to make a team of five since everyone makes this game so ridiculous. I'm going to make a team of five. Me, Pharaoh, my father, my brother, who I love and do not dote on enough, but that's my brother. I need one more.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Pharaoh. Dusty. Dustin. Cody. Randy Orton. And I think when Kellen's of age, Kellen could do it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, yours was a great answer, and the clock, time is money.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I took one. Yep, you barely got up. I did, it was an independent show. We do like her though, that's a great team. That's my team. What a great team. Taking them. I'll use, Mr. Heyman always starts things that he knows could be tricky. He starts things with, this idea or this question has permission to suck. And then he'll present something that doesn't suck at all.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Amazing. Kept us all, gave us all life. What do you think about the Cody Raheem Rhodes things that you might see online or every now and then in the crowd?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Oh, I remember exactly what you did. You yelled at everyone, and my friend Nick, as you walked away, looked at me and goes, you think she's mad?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, let's let me, if I was to ask the same question, your, your parents, my in-laws. the incredible Otis, incredible, beloved by everyone who meets him. You can't miss him.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Can't miss him because he's wearing an American Nightmare hat.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And he does because he's parents, kids, dogs, get whatever they want. That's how it's supposed to be. But Jill, your wonderful mother, who we love.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, but what do you think they think about that stuff?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I think your dad knows about everything. He knows we're filming this right now. Probably read it on the old dirt sheets.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Do you know who made a really good tag team? Not to switch to a somber tone, but your dad and my dad at the wedding... was great.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, they could have been a real tag team, though, but your dad, I always found that I loved, here I come from show business, I come from carny, I come from pro wrestling, and then I meet your dad, who's a military man, who's worked for Ford consistently for years.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, a couple F-bombs were dropped. Question for you. It is my show, so I got to ask the question.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Don't you think at a certain point, though, parents get what they want? They raised you. It's their turn.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Oh, when my mom was unauthorized interviewed by an ill actor and put out a note saying that John Cena was an asshole.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
If you're a journalist, if you're a journalist, don't interview old people. That's not fair to them.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I always tell people, I'm like, Libby's, you know, smart like her mama, beautiful like her papa. Oh. You know? Always. Okay. Always tell people that.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
American mule. How we like it in America. But you've got a classic American mule.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Who do you think Libby takes after the most?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Usually when you say someone's name, we have to double check it, source it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Anyways, we were in Florida. Just tell me the story.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You know what? I believe you're the first on the show to have the same drink as I do. But truth does count. And he gave us that donkey.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I don't think you really had one. You were always kind of... I think Libby has my sensitivity.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You know what we should insert right here? Libby on apple picking day. She gets hit by a fly on her face as she's screaming at us.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, he brought, he not only had a mule. Good for him. He brought two mules. uh, plushies, which I thought, oh, this would be after the bit. I'm like, this would be kind of fun. We'll give these to Libby's. Uh, one of them though, if you want, Brian, you want to grab that?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I got a good wrestling story about Liberty Iris Runnels. You know where I'm going with and the world will appreciate it. It's perfect for what do you want to talk about? Again, these drinks brought to you by Wheatley American Vodka.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
What do you want to talk about? So the final boss, The Rock. tells us, hey, I want you guys to come to the Moana 2 premiere.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I jumped to the, yup. Oh, do you have to be at SmackDown in Salt Lake? Yep, I do, but let's find a way to make it work. Put us on a golf stream. Really, really kind of put his wang on the table. Let us know, let us know, let us know.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
He is the final boss. Put us on an amazing golf stream, fully catered with Moana themed desserts.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah. Anyway, so he brings us out to Hawaii for the premiere, and the premiere is done. It is the best premiere I've ever been to in terms of it wasn't the traditional premiere. Here's the carpet press element. Then you move on. Maybe you go watch the movie. Maybe not. This was for families. So many sponsored things, craft tables, Mickey and Minnie are there.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
The red carpet is not even really a red carpet. If we were one of three people who walked it, which Libby said right away, no photos. So, okay. We did it, but we, he rock goes on stage to present the movie.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
She's also the only child there who did not wear the Moana outfit. She decided to go in full Elsa.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So full Elsa for the burning hot Moana 2 outdoor premiere. And she's sitting there and I said, hey, do you want to? Say hi to Maui? You want to talk to Maui? I know Maui. This is a pretty big get. He also is sitting right behind me, which guaranteed that I couldn't leave early if I didn't like the movie. So he's sitting, which I wasn't planning on it. Great movie. But it's a great movie.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Anyway, so she says, no, I don't want to talk to anyone. She's not really paying attention to what's going on stage. And then she realizes that's a big deal. Look at all these people. Oh, they're wanting to shake his hand. They're wanting... They're wanting to take pictures with him. And he slinks in his seat, all 800 pounds, jacked up, and gets in his seat behind us.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah. Let me see that thing here. Oh, Ron Cena decided to leave me with a gift.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And as he does it, my daughter, who is only not even four yet, turns around and waves.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It was jarring to see that she has the carny bone.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
She had it. She gets it. So she did it at WrestleMania. She don't want to. It's allowed. Kids, it's allowed. There's stuff blowing up. When I walked out there, she looked at me as if I was the greatest thing ever. That is not how Libby looks at me on a daily basis. I'm the guy stomping. I made the waffle wrong, whatever. But yeah, that was a real big moment with her and the final boss.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yep. And that's how, you know, uh, dog toy. So thanks Ron. And, uh, also like rawhide tail. You think Pharaoh would like it? Yeah.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I noticed as we were talking here, you're checking your cleavage out there. You're really concerned about this dress?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Can I ask you a question that I probably should have asked you a long time ago? What's up? What's the point of having the big old, the tig olds, if you're not putting them out there, right? Well, I'll tell you what the point of it is. Tell me the point. I want to know. I don't have to. Tell me the point.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And my good friend Neil Patrick Harris.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I do need to tell you, we're not good friends. I say that because the photo looks like we're really cool. But here's the thing. I hope one day maybe that's the real deal.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And then he'll eat it. That's what huskies do, by the way. Forewarning to husky owners.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So that's why you're not sure. I don't want to do that.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Chelsea's what we call a ceiling looker.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And I'm a woman. I go... If you're dressed in, you know, scantily clad or just not a lot of clothing, which often wrestlers are not, if I feel... Chelsea's the most naked wrestler. I do a lot of like, hello... and I'll look at the ceiling like a half-hug. She's the most naked.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And I'm going to not cry. My... Just make it baby mama.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes

I don't know why. You're shaming hard here on the green.

If you get a husky, they'll play with that toy hard for a day, and then they'll rip its eyes out.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, no, no, no, no, no. The men are hot. The men are far... That little boy, Angelo Garza, he got trunks tighter than mine in 2008. He is more naked than...
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, don't bring her on to our wrestling show. All she'll talk about is how you look.

Which, by the way, if you're looking for a good Pharaoh plush, you can get it on Fanatics. So, but yeah, Pharaoh chewed his up. So, an American Mule there?

Brandi Rhodes
Let me ask you something because I don't want to take up too much of your time. I know you're busy. I'm busy right now. What... Because you're not around the wrestling space anymore, and of course you joined us at WrestleMania 40 in my favorite entrance I've ever been part of.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Cheers to the Slammys. Cheers. Thank you for that.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, I get it. The MPH story works. I understand. What do you, having been away from the business a bit and then coming back in here and there, what do you miss about pro wrestling? What do you miss?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Right now, it's probably time to plug your studio.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That's your drink, by the way, I know this. That is my drink. I've made it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Often the truth is not the thing that you, when you describe a person who's in wrestling. That could be someone you love, someone you absolutely detest, whatever it may be. But I feel... It's always interesting when I think about you in pro wrestling and what you did, particularly when we were away from here. And I would get more frustrated at your lack of credit than my own lack of credit.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I get how we write the story now. I understand. But I always thought there's so many people who are beloved. They're on that column, and you were the one who spoke up for them. You were the one who drove them and got in the ambulance with them. Just really, it's funny to me. That's why I love WrestleMania 40 so much because, and again, that's an emotional thing for me.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I have tried very hard not to get teary on this one, but I was so happy that you got to connect with the audience again. because in this X and Instagram and in the hardcore fans and opinions and all that, often it gets lost how they really feel.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And I thought, I bet you she gets a bigger reaction than me coming up in this giant thunder helm, which by the way, wasn't supposed to look so big, but the feathers didn't fit. So it looks like it ended up being great and so big. And then here you come and places their mind. And I thought, ah, that's a respect thing. It's not just a pop. It's a respect thing.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And then again, all these people that you helped, infrastructure that you put in place that still exists. Those are contributions that I'm very curious how time will see them all again. Yeah, go.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That might be top three of the best quotes we've had. We've had some killer quotes.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, Ronnie did not. Our truth was a terrible guest. I did it as a favor for, uh, no, our truth was great. We love our truth. Ron Cena. Um, I don't know. You know, I often, I am very affectionate, as you are not, and you are very affectionate. I'm very doting. One of the things, I don't know if I've ever verbalized it, but why I can, you said earlier, are we going to make it?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You know, here we are 11 years in. Why I am... not concerned in that regards and why everything is yours the bus is yours clothes i'm wearing are yours the truck you don't like buck all of it it's all yours and if you chose to leave it's all yours the reason that is is because you stayed with me and you cared for me
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
when you were announcing superstars as big as The Undertaker and John Cena, and you had to look in the ring and see Stardust and say, that's my husband.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's not news to me, I know you. We've been married 11, 12 years.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Honey, I almost went bald out of stress. Well, here's the thing.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, I just told you it was all yours, so way too much leverage there.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Way easier ways. Because that buck is in the back seat. Go ahead and blow me up.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We got to bring Buck. He's got to go. I think Kellan's taking him. Matt, who drives this wonderful bus and takes care of it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Matt at the dinner party. That was wild. I've never seen somebody. Down there looking like he owned the casino.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Real quick, I'll put Matt over, and then we need to play a game. Matt's the best driver in the fleet that WWE has. Charlie won the award for best drivers, WWE drivers, and I think it was a scam.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Because I know it's going to happen, you know?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's a wonderful space you've created. What I love about it and I'm very proud of it is. You took something you succeeded at and with where we were, you set that infrastructure in place, you left, you created a whole new experience for people, a culture I know nothing about, the yoga culture, the Pilates culture. And you got multiple people who have hit 100 classes, 200 classes.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I'm going to let you get to the messages.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Funny you're sitting there on the bus. It was not unlike how WrestleMania 38 was. Getting on the bus, secretly arriving. Eight month old. Eight month old in your lap. My return to WWE. I've told people till I was blue in the face how I felt it was going to go, how I thought people would react to me, what was going through my mind and the emotions that I had.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
How were you feeling about WrestleMania 38? And what did you think was going to happen when I shot up there on the stage?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Then you're not going to cry. My baby mama, my favorite person, which is what I told her because I didn't have the courage to say I love you. So I said, you're my favorite. The first woman who was involved in a match at New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom. The first black female to be an announcer full time for WWE. And the first black executive in a North American wrestling company
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
They booed me this year at WrestleMania.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I think you're pretty solid at this point.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, I'd say you'd have to do a lot. I was going to say in terms of aging, which you're aging at a rate that's unbelievably... You're ahead of everybody in a sense.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That's why you're not affectionate and not doting, because you're confident.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, I feel like about me, I've always been like, I could tell you something dumb. I think one night I told you I want to be the president of the United States. And instead of you being like, you're an idiot, you just went, hmm.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And you said it in a way that I was like, yeah. There's one question I want to ask you because I think it's a good story. And she's wonderful and I'd like to have her on the podcast. But Io Skye, Io Skye, you actually wrestled Io Skye at Stardom. I was talking about her this morning. And this is before you broke your collarbone. So you got a clean match.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And just tell me how that went about and what Io said to you. Tell me how that went.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Like how me and Pentagon talk. Yeah. Yeah. My brother got her.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
No, no, you're not aging. You're glowing. You're radiant. Your skin is still perfect. Everything about you looked like the day I met you. I think you need to know... that that's not going to be the case for me. We're looking at We're looking at three, maybe seven, seven solid years of this. This is it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Hello, I'm the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes. We are on my home, away from home, my tour bus. This is What Do You Want to Talk About? Brought to you by our good friends at Wheatley American Vodka. And now my guest at this time, a very special guest. I should say the most special guest. An incredible amount of accolades I can lay out for you. But I'll start simply by the mother of my child.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Like she gets them from the parent company then. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. She's tough. We got games to play. All right, so. What are we doing here? I'm going to play this for you. This is the jingle for our good friends at Wheatley American Vodka who have provided all of this for us today. Thank you so much. This is the jingle right here. I want you to watch it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And then at the end, I'm going to ask you.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I'm going to ask you to replace the phrasing. But let's watch it first.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Vodka soda. Vodka soda. Wheatly is so good, I drink it neatly. This song right here is for the red, white, and blue. You got good taste, and you drink like a two. Wheatly is so good, I drink it neatly.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Wheatly, American vodka. All right, so Wheatly is so good, I drink it neatly. Replace neatly.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That's a solid answer. It didn't rhyme. No. You didn't need to. You didn't. Good.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Man, you are into this show. You are into this show. All right. That's butt naked on a water ski. So Wheatley is so good, I drink it butt naked on a water ski. On a water ski.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Cheers to that. Most people completely, frequently.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Yeah, that was big. That was Ronnie? No, that was big Randy.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I would say my favorite guest, and I would mean my favorite guest. A lot of times I have been educated on this show. A lot of times I've been enlightened, inspired, all these things. It is rare that I get to sit down with you like we used to.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Well, yeah, I... Enchanté. Yeah, I will never... There will never be a time where I'm not enchanted by you. I think you are fine as it gets. You are a Detroit 11. And you're probably even a Miami 11.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You are winning at this game. And I'm lucky to be on the ride. So thank you for joining us. Thank you for actually being a big time Wheatley drinker. I think this is a good way to end an episode with you to tell you you're my favorite and I love you.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
And then when it's over, big, sunburnt, shorts, Tommy Bahama shirt, flip-flops, probably my American nightmare flip-flops, swollen feet, just a perpetual sunburn too. Like what you would expect of a Georgia, like you found out with the White Lotus, What southern frat boys and families look like. That vibe. That vibe, but big.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's a nightgown. You wear a nightgown that at one point was silk and probably very nice.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Because there's several different people who are washing clothes in the house. It looks like now you've run through a barbed wire fence with that nightgown.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We should talk about Libby, by the way.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Throw it in the garbage. There's nothing you wear out there that's like, oh, I feel like you're always stunning. The red coat is very similar to Dusty on WCW Saturday night. Which, by the way, this is something for fans out there of the pod. If you know of a WWE, I guess... My dad used to wear this red leather coat that had, I want to say faux gaiter, maybe it was real gaiter on the shoulders.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
This jacket's missing. And a lot of his items were missing. He sold a lot of things off. We've talked about that, pawned a lot of things. But this one, I think someone in the family has. And if you were that person, maybe, maybe Dustin, if you were that person, I think you need to come clean and we need to find out because I've been looking for this jacket. Your jacket reminded me of it today.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So you met Buck. Buck is a deer as hunters do. Do you hunt? I went hunting one time and it was probably one of the worst moments for my manhood. that ever could have existed in a sense. Not only did I miss a deer that was about 20 yards from me with a scope, I dropped the rifle and that's terrifying enough.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
The owner, proprietor, the best, the queen of naked mind yoga and Pilates, my wonder wall, my muse, my favorite person, and of course, my baby mama. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to What You Want to Talk About, Brandi Rhodes.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
The big secret, and you know this because you've been at a lot of family dinners, my dad loved to hunt. He didn't love to hunt. He loved to sit out in the woods.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
He didn't want to be around anybody. He had to figure out what he was going to do next. He had his own deer stand that had a special staircase. There's still a plaque at the bottom of it. It was also right by the highway, so not a spot a lot of the deers are going to migrate to during deer season. He liked to sit there. That was his spot.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
But Buck is the long—I have to be careful because my sister has opinions on Buck. Buck is the last deer he got.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We're talking about the jacket. My family's the worst at, hey, who's got this? Who's got that? The Pinellas County Sheriff badge that I wanted, somebody else has got that.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I did it all. I hired a bunch of people to do it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's my stuff. There's an irony in you saying that you organized and knowing that you wake up every day and have woken up every day since I've known you. And don't make the bed. And don't make the bed. It's just not for me. Let me trade a PSA for a PSA.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
If you want to start the day right and you want to start the day with an accomplishment, a sense of accomplishment, knowing that that goal is done and you can move to the next goal, make your bed. Make your bed. I make my bed every day.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Shame me this morning over breakfast, by the way.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
That's the word. Ever once have we talked about it. I just thought- Ladies and gentlemen, the African-American nightmare.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It's kind of a recurring thing in our marriage where I will admit to a thing I did not do correct, but then you will not ever admit to a thing that you have... What's something I've done wrong lately? Oh, man, I don't feel you've done anything wrong lately. Have you done something wrong lately? Oh, I'm sure I've just... Okay, I got you one. Cheers to this.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
This is a thing that you've done wrong lately. You can put them together. You're that fragile over there?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
We're not on this show. You know what I'm saying? You know?
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
You are really big, so this is something that the- I'm really big? No, this is something the wrestling audience does not know about me, and this is the first time I hear it. I do not believe in the words, I do not believe in the phrase, you're welcome. I don't like it. If you do something, you just do it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I don't go like that. I say thank you. No, this is what you do, you go- No, I say thank you. Thank you, thank you.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
It was just... That leads me to the first question, which I didn't think would be the first question. Do you know who Akeem is? Nope.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
I don't believe in the words you're welcome because I don't believe you do something for the pat on the back, for the gratitude.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
So I don't believe in the phrase, if you say thank you to me, I'll say thank you. Anyways, Brandi has now got a list of people that she's been hitting up on the sly. And I know this because they've been texting me on the sidebar. No, no, no, no, no. She's been hitting up. It's not real.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
Basically telling them that they need to thank me for their WrestleMania experience because I rolled out the red carpet for some people. I promise. Got a box, catered it. did a big dinner, all this. That's something that I think, Brandy, you're just going to have to live with the fact that we do nice things for the simple reason that we do nice things.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
Brandi Rhodes
If I do something nice, I don't need to be thanked for it.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes
What Do You Wanna Talk About? Returns May 28th!
Thank you.
