People like Kenny Rogers, which was not Kenny Rogers, if you don't know what I'm talking about. The first time I did Kenny Rogers, it was Kenny Rogers. Because he sounds like, I'm Kenny Rogers and I love barbecue. Boy, barbecue. That's what he sounds like. But then I get bored with most things.

Yeah, more often than not, you know what it is, is you're in the shower, you've got the little portable speaker near the shower, and you're just listening to your news program or your podcast of choice, and then if the next thing up, if it's not, again, Jim Cornette complaining about, you know, Dutch Mantell didn't come up with that idea, that was me!

It was in, I was in buds training, ballistic underground demolition, uh, seal training and, uh, You know, climbing the Hell Week was one of the worst times I had. You'd be on the ropes so much that you'd get blisters, and they would peel open and flap open. And my drill sergeant, he called them flappers. He says, Jesse, looks like you've got some flappers. Come here.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And then he rips off my flappers.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet

That's something you've probably never had, is a man rip off your flappers.

I don't fly commercial anymore. I was honorably discharged. I serve this nation proudly, and then I get patted down at the airport. You know the problem with it, Chris, is I got used to it.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And now I won't do that anymore. I sued them over the Fourth Amendment. And the judge, you know, they were cowardly about it. You can't go against the Fourth Amendment. If you ask me what it is right now, I'm not sure exactly. But I did sue them because I don't want to get patted down at the airport.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!

He was working with Jake at WrestleMania three. And I said, hi, Alice. He said, that's not my name. I said, I know I'm keeping Kayfabe. We're not exactly golfing.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet

You stupid son of a bitch.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
I was, you know, it was me and Mick Jagger. We were, I was at Altamont for the stabbing. And Keith Richards was so fucking drunk out of his mind. He had no idea. He ran into the crowd with, wielding his guitar like a battle axe. And I stopped him. What would have happened if we no longer had Keith because the Hell's Angels killed him? What would you have, Eric Clapton in the Stones?
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
That's not the same style. Keith will tell you he's preserved because of the heroin. A lot of it, he'll outlive us all. You're the greatest improv actor of all time. This is unbelievable. That guy at Raw thought so. and then Jimmy Hart waving the flag. He got, he's probably like, Oh, he caught a stray. Yeah. He had nothing to do with it.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Oh, it was.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
It was February. Yep. Where was it? It was in Tampa, Florida. At the Tampa, you know, like the fairgrounds and the armory or something. It was about a 5,000 seater. It wasn't a big, you know, hockey basketball arena. Nitro in 99 still doing okay. Still doing okay. It's before they changed the logo to the pointy logo.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Me neither. Nobody liked that WCW logo. But yeah, it was, that was, that was absolutely nuts. I got to think about this. You wrestled Brett Hart.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
In my opinion, the greatest in-ring performer of all time. Or just, let's call it like it is, the greatest pro wrestler of all time. Because, you know, he... I've said this about that match, that Brett could have a match with, you know, whatever, a 300-pound bag of rice, which he did on that night.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And for those who don't know what the hell we're talking about, I was on this television program, MADtv. We concocted this feud that happened between Brett and I. over a year or two from two different seasons and thing. And he gets mad at me. He attacks me. It was all, you know, cooked up.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And, uh, then it all of a sudden it, it turns into a wrestling storyline where I'm going to be, it is an homage sort of to the Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler, uh, thing. And Brett was so game and it was great, but Brett is also so old school. That it's like, you know, we're doing the match fly to Tampa. A couple of my buddies flew out to see it. Cause they're like, we're not going to miss this.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Yeah. And we go out to a bar the night before and we're all in the same car along with Brian Hart, no relation, a writer, executive producer, mad TV, also a huge wrestling fan made this whole thing happen. It was Brian who was like, I think let's get bread on the show. And I got a sketch for him. And then what if we did this? It was really, it was Brian was the guy behind this whole thing.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And, um, we go into this bar and, uh, the night before and Brett's like, okay, uh, I'm going to go in first. And then you guys, uh, you know, you can come in later. And my buddy's like, no, we want to go in with you. Okay. So you guys and Brian, you come in with me and then we'll just wait a half hour and then come in and don't sit near me.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And I was like, come on, we gotta, he's like, no, no, no matches tomorrow. I don't want it. So we kayfabed it. I go into this bar that is also where Bret Hart is. So people were coming up to me like, we're following this thing. Yeah. And I'm on TV. I'm on like entertainment magazine outlets going on. I'm going to sue the fucking, he attacked me on mad TV. I'm like,
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
not going to access Hollywood going, I'm suing him. And it looks legit. It looked legit. He, he hit me with a chair. Yes. Um, and he goes, how, how hard should I hit you with the chair? And in order so that it would look gnarly on TV, I said to the excellence of execution, go ahead, Brett, hit me as hard as you can. You can't hurt me. Cause I really wanted him to hit me. Yeah.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
I had raised welts on my back for like a couple of weeks. Cause it wasn't a steel chair. No, it was one of those. It was a stingy. It was like a steel framed with the plastic.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
So it was probably better than getting hit with a real steel chair, but it was still a lot of, there was a lot of apparatus there to raise and, uh, and split your skin. Um, and then I had an alligator pad on my knee and, and leg and he starts wailing on my knee and then he puts me in the sharpshooter and I'm screaming. And so the, the leg was, and Brett never hurt anybody.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Yeah.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Um, you know, taking a thing to your back, even that it's like, this is a surface thing and I pissed him off. So he did it. And then we get to this thing and cut to me in a bar with people going, you know, who's right over there. Brett Hart's over there. I'm like, no, what? Oh, holy shit. Then we got a match the next day. Come on. We're doing this.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
They were doing the thing, but crazy for him to be like, yeah, that sounds cool. Let's do it. What a great Brett. We were talking on the flight about the match and I didn't know. I was like, well, what are we going to do? What should we ask him to do in this and that? And Brian, again, the mastermind behind this whole thing, he goes, He knew what he wanted from the match.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
We show up, Brett's like, you know, because also it's like, you know, we know what the segment is. And of course, Brett's going to go over the matches and going to be all that long. eight minutes, five minute match, you know, commercial to commercial and, uh, you know, intros and outro. And then, uh, curtain to curtain. Yeah. Curtain to curtain to eight minutes.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
So he, he goes, uh, so he's like, you know, so what do you want to do? You want to do like a cheap shot or something. And Brian's like, here's what we want to do. The match starts and you beat the shit out of will the whole time leisurely. And Brett was like, Because we hate, as wrestling fans, when Jay Leno has Hulk Hogan in a headlock. Yeah, yeah. And to me, there's two sides to it.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Anytime I've been fortunate enough to go on the program and do a bit with Stone Cold, or you did a thing with Kane years back, and you get the shit kicked out of you, the other part of me is like, I'm a wrestling fan. I don't want to see, like, I don't care to see, you know, the guy from, you know, this or that, you know, knocking out so-and-so or getting a leg up on the wrestlers.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
It should look like you go in the ring, you do a bit, whatever. Then when you get, when your goose is cooked, your goose is cooked and you should get chokeslammed by Kane or stunned by Steve Austin and, you know, like catch the stunner and you're, this was a bad idea for you to do this. Wrestling should be on top.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
I don't know who that is. You'll have to educate me on who that is. How does he not know that you're doing these impressions of him? Because I live in the Baja six months out of the year. And you know that, Chris. I don't have TV. Why would I watch American TV there?
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And I feel like with some of the celebrities, Oh, that dude in the rumble, the Braun breaker speed. Oh my God. See, that's, that's how you do it. Cause Braun breaker was like, ah, you're in here now. I don't know what papers you filled out, but.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Because they don't want the celebrity guest thing, which I totally get. What the heck is this guy doing out there?
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And they did it right because he got... his just desserts for stepping in the ring. And that's what it should be. If it's someone comes into the ring, it should be. So our thing is like, here's this, you know, big goofy guy from mad TV. Who's had this, this problem with Bret Hart. And now it's getting settled in the ring.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And you've got, you know, Tony Shivani, Mike today, and the greatest of all time, Bobby Heenan, which that alone, having Bobby Heenan call, like, you know, like, just unbelievable. You know, like, uh, he, it's someone who's like, Well, maybe Will Sasso had some experience with wrestling, perhaps in high school. What do you mean? We're not detailing his high school wrestling career.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
He's in there with the excellence of execution. Because they're just calling what they're calling. But I bet in the back of their heads, they're like, man, I hope he doesn't get a move on Brett. This is dumb. And so Brett just kind of beats the shit out of me the whole time. And Brian wanted him to, he's like, maybe you just even take a chair.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Like, Oh, is he going to hit him with a fucking chair now? Now he just puts the chair in the middle of the ring and drinks a bottle of water. And I'm like, I love that. And then the only look I have, I might've even said it on the program here. So sorry if you've already heard this, but he, He goes, we go out there in the afternoon. He goes, well, let's just go feel the ring out.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And he gives me a Russian leg sweep. And then, and then, uh, I went and took the ropes. I think we talked about this. I hurt my arm. I hurt my, I took the ropes the wrong way. And I was like, fuck, it's like that elevator cable from the, you know, in WCW. So, you know, La Parca can jump off it. And, And, and I go, I go, okay. He's like, you know, you'll figure it out. You've watched this shit.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
I'm like, exactly. I've watched this shit. What are you talking about? I haven't been in there.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
You know, I can't. We have satellite. I have solar. I'm four miles from pavement.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
He's like, you, you played contact sports. You I'll throw you around. He said, the only thing to remember, he goes, don't move. I'll move you. I'll either do something to you or move you to do the next thing. So I was like, okay, easy enough. That's it. That was all he did. That's how incredible. That's all he told you. That's all he told me. That's how incredible Bret Hart is.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
He's like, and he would talk a little bit, clothesline, go off the ropes and clothesline. And I can't wait to quote unquote sell or, you know, cause I love physical comedy and falling all over the place and, 25 years ago, I was even way more into that than I am now. Just being a young dude like, yeah, fucking break my ass up there, do whatever.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And one thing Brian Hart wanted him to do was that quick leg drop that Brett does. He's just standing there and bang, he drops that very quick leg. So Brett's like, don't move. I'll pick you up. I'll do the next thing. Or if you're laying flat on your back, stay flat on your back. I'm about to do something.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!

Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Cut to I'm laying flat on my back, and I'm just looking up at the lights, and time slowed down. It felt like a minute. I was just looking up at the lights going, this is crazy. I'm on professional wrestling. I'm wrestling Brett the Hitman Hart. This guy is one of my heroes. He's one of my favorite. He's the best guy to do it. What is going on here? This is fucking crazy. Yeah.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Anyway, and I start to get up. Yeah. Which, and this, in reality, it was two seconds. I'm just like, this is great. Okay. And I start to get up. And if you watch it, you see Brett is in the air as my fat ass rolls over to get up. And in the air, he adjusts to make this needle like this so that my head falls in this pocket. How good is Brett Hart? Just intuitively not breaking my neck.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Like, he knows that he's like, oh, here's a fucking dude who's never done anything like this or any of this at all. No problem. Let's do it on TV. He's the greatest. Man. And he's stomping the shit out of you in the corner. And then, you know, I remember just walking out afterwards and saying to my pals, like, I just felt like nothing happened. Like, none of it. Nothing. Nothing happened.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Right. No, he, look, I mean, he's built for it. He's such a natural heel, and he knows how to talk, obviously.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
But also, like, you look at him, you know, all the stuff he's ever done. Yeah, just remember, you know, as a kid on Vine, he was, like, jumping out of windows in college. Yeah. He's already, like, a beefy, athletic guy.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Wow. Well, no, he's, it, it, it's shocking to see the stuff that he can do. He's got that new finisher. That looks crazy. Yeah. Um, yeah, no, it's, it's like that to me is, that's one of the coolest weird things. You can't even call it a crossover because he's legit a professional wrestler. Yeah, he's not a part-timer. No, he's a guy who's like, I'm going to do this.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
But he also, I mean, what is the bulk of his sort of work? His existence right now is impulsive. So he does his show. It hasn't gotten in the way of that. It's made it better. He has all sorts of guests. I guess the podcast is his main thing. Pretty much. I can't think of anything else. They're filming the reality show right now. Okay. There's that. Maybe they only do that for a month or something.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And, you know, he could be off TV. It's perfect. And he's a savant at it. And not for nothing, you know, they say, like, you know, he's training with Shawn Michaels. So that's... To have Shawn Michaels go like, you know, here's how you do a kip-up, kid. I'm not going to try to... Here's my Shawn Michaels. Your hat needs to be a lot lower if you're going to be Shawn Michaels. Undertaker. No.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's, yeah. one of those dudes who came over from, you know, WCW kind of farting out there at the end, uh, who they couldn't deny because he was in three count three count. And you're like, well, there's no room for that.

No, I've missed out on the product a lot, dude. I... I'm doing this show. We're doing this series on CBS called Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage. And one of my cohorts on the show, Jesse Prez, is a huge wrestling fan. So we dork out. We talk about wrestling all the time. He came with to Raw.

Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Shout out to Jesse and Dougie Baldwin who came to Raw. But Jesse will keep me abreast of things. He's like, did you watch the Rumble? I was like, I only watched the men's rumble match. That's it. Just the main event. It's like, you didn't watch Cody versus Kevin Owens. I was like, no, I miss. He's like, you got to literally every other day at work.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
He's like, have you gone back and watch Cody and Kevin Owens? I'm like, I still got to do it, but I will. He's like, dude, you got to watch it. Okay. So he kind of keeps me up on what's happening. You're aware of what's going on, the storylines. I'm sort of aware on what's happening.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Look, sometimes there are some years as a wrestling fan, because I've been a wrestling fan for, ooh, I don't know, 60, 70 years now. But there are some times where it's like sports. You're like, I don't have time right now. Check it out in the playoffs. Sure. The playoffs are Royal Rumble on. We're getting there. I mean, we're in it. We're on the road to WrestleMania.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. You're not supposed to reach me. I'll be down in the Baja riding my electric bike. You know, I charge my electric bike and then I ride out and I get mangoes and I bring them back to the house. Of course, I always see large birds and I think they're drones. I'm afraid of drones.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
So I feel like I'm not doing my due diligence as a wrestling fan. I actually do have to go back and watch Rumble from start to finish, except for a couple matches that Jesse already told me all about. There was only four matches. yeah, he already told me about the women's rumble. Uh, you know, uh, good to hear that. Uh, it was, I said, cause I shouldn't say this, but I wanted the guy or whatever.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet

Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Yeah, but I do have a take on a few of the things that's happening. I do have... Okay, look. CM Punk... eliminates Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at the same time, which was, that was great. That was fucking great. It's like, it's like, Oh, these guys are, you know, Roman and Seth are mixing it up again. And then CM Punk is very involved with both guys. Legitimately.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
He needs that favor from the wise man, Paul Heyman. And, and it's like, what's going to happen there. So I, here's, let me just, let me just hear it. Fantasy bucket. This is, this is what I think is going to happen. with Cody Rhodes and the WWE championship. He is going to, this is, I'll just spit it, whatever. And then hopefully in the comments of this, you guys can get into the conversation.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Maybe this isn't new. This is what I see coming. CM Punk is going to ask, Heyman for that favor, that favor is going to have something to do with what's going to happen in, in, in, you know, who's facing Cody, obviously at mania. Cause it's J Uso and Walter still call him Gunther. Um, Gunther was still called Walter. Sorry.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Um, uh, but over here with, with Cody, I think there's going to be a, a, a scenario where Seth gets involved, uh, And Roman gets involved and CM Punk somehow gets involved. And cause he's been winning. He deserves a shot. Seth has the thing with maybe the program goes to, to, you know, Cody and Seth jaw jacking at each other. CM Punk, he comes in, you can't keep Roman out of it.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Paul Heyman's of course got him in there. It's a, it's a, it's a mania, you know, a rematch. Maybe that's how it starts. Just the two of them. I think it's going to be a four way dance between the four of them. And I think in the end, Cody is going to finally turn heel and he's going to do it with Paul Heyman by his side. Wow.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And he's going to move on to, I think, I think at least, at least to next mania. Wow. That's what I think till next mania is champ. Well, yes, because I also think, that John Cena chasing the championship is going to take the entire calendar year.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
I don't think you can just put him in an opening match or just a... Well, he opened the show a couple years ago against Austin Theory. He did. But this is the farewell.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Because if you say the wrong thing about the government and then you go picking mangoes, you'll see an American drone. You can tell they're huge. And I'm like, that's not a bird.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Well, see, that's the thing. He can have a fucking great match. And I'm sure he's... He looks great.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
He's... I'm sure he can, you know, or else he wouldn't be doing this if he can't do it to the best of his ability. And he's probably, I mean, this is a great call because he's a guy who's in great shape and he'll have to continue to be doing what he does, you know, with his work in movies and shit. So he could probably still do it for a few years. So to call it now, that's interesting.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
I don't know who he would. I don't either. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Okay. I got it. I got it. Hey, mama's cooking now. Because, you know, you got to be with some of the real legends of a long time ago. You got to be a little ginger. You got to make sure no one gets hurt. John Cena, I know he kind of did a few years ago, but he didn't. John Cena, Undertaker. That's not going to happen. Okay.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet

That's not a tropical bird of any kind. That's not even a raven or a crow. That's a drone coming to kill me. So, no, I don't watch the American news. Oh, shit. Oh, my gosh.

how about this? Look, it's mania. You got to bring out the big, you know, it always has to be the big names at mania. There's, there's, you know, also the rock might be peppered into this rock. Might the final boss might come back. Um, I feel like, uh, we talked about it, but Logan Paul versus Sina would be good at mania.

Logan doesn't have a match at mania because whatever he's a busy guy shooting his reality show. He's not going to be training. Let's just say for argument's sake, doesn't have a match at mania. He interferes in that four-way match. That's who gets CM Punk out. So Punk saves some face. It's not his fucking fault. Heyman made the whatever. He made his provisions to help CM Punk get into the match.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And that's all he's going to do. And now... you know, now Logan Paul somehow interferes with CM Punk. You set up that program. You, then you've got, then you've got Roman and Seth are on their way for a very cool program. If you want to do that or just kind of reinvigorate that, that sort of thing.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
I think there's a lot of wrestling fans that are young wrestling fans that don't even know about the shield and Seth turning that way. You can keep Roman a face and have Seth, you know, be really evil about shit. CM Punk stays a, stays a face, but really he's sort of a tweener. He's a tweener. Um, and you can do whatever, whichever way the wind blows there, whichever the fans want to do.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
And he can turn on a dime as we know. Um, and then you've got Cody fucking vicious heel in the suits, in the suit next to Paul Heyman in a suit, holding the fucking title for him. Cody doesn't even have to hold the title anymore. That would be so cool. He's just out there with the mic, you know, like, I'm sorry. I think, It's going to happen. A Cody heel turn will happen. It's happening.
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
We know it's happening, but it's going to be so old school when, when he does it, because you're going to have, you know, Heyman in there, Heyman, who of course came up under dusty. You know what I mean? Like, like, like, or I don't know how he, he wasn't booking, but the old stories of him being a kid showing up in the room, taking pictures and stuff. And it's like, What was the thing?
Insight with Chris Van Vliet
Will Sasso Does Impressions Of Jesse Ventura, Scott Hall, Macho Man, Triple H, Ric Flair & MORE!
Paul Heyman had a story where it's like, baby, what are you doing in here? He's like, well, I'm here learning from the best. All right, stick around, baby. You know, so, you know, it's like that. He's known dusty roads, dusty roads forever. It's brought him into ECW for a one-off. There you go. I think that the, the, the, the connection between Cody and Heyman Cody's heel turn is inevitable.

I liked, but I loved that The Rock came back as the final boss. Like, he was wearing those hats. And if I may be a total fucking wrestling dork, that heat seeker outfit of his with the fucking like Samoa out, like with the, with the sleeveless.

That's what The Rock's going to do. But I think that, story-wise, I think they're probably going, All right. We're doing that with Rock because we don't have anything super lined up right now.
