Roman reigns.

And today I'm gonna be reviewing sports, entertainment and professional wrestling with in movies and television today.

Okay?

All right.

I love you Know the movie, Billy Madison.

But yeah, they just have outfit on one guys.

So we can't say this is professional racing.

You drop on elbow on him, which was actually one of dusty roads, the American dream, one of his kind of signature strikes.

So hey, didn't have quite the possess that the dream did.

But it was, ah, fair attempt.

I'll give him that.

I mean, you see it nowadays all the time, you know, within us, See?

But that's a little bit of a different, you know, doing the this elbow drop on somebody's head opposed to, You know, a true strike with the edge of the elbow is a bit different, but, you know, it's a comedy, so we gotta have fun with it.

He he tried his best bless his heart DJs, film, fighting with family.

It's funny because I actually was there at the Monday night raw that they shot this after our shows will do what we call the dark main event, and it was different this time because they were gonna be shooting this portion of the movie in front of the live crowd.

And so they had the Rock Dwayne Johnson come out on Daz.

He was producing and helping out with the film.

He was actually keeping the crowd very energetic because they had already seen about three hours, maybe three and 1/2 hours of wrestling already.

So in order to keep their attention and their energy up, you needed the big guns to come in.

And he did that slap to the face.

That's his real was.

It gets just as Stephanie Man and her family's like they're a wrestling family as well.

So you'll you'll hear little comments.

You can just tell by the delivery of the dad and the mom, the back and forth that they're saying some kind of inside stuff or, you know what I mean?

They taken it to heart, as all families do on.

I have to constantly remind my mom and stuff.

It's a performance.

I'm okay.

You know, I was selling.

I would you know, there's a part of the stick that we're doing tonight, but you have to constantly remind your family that you know it is a performance and that I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

It's hard for me to say on this because the cool part about professional wrestling and sports entertainment is within the world.

You know, through the different regions, there's there's different cultures of wrestling and obviously here in naturally break their depicting the lucha library.

Very Hispanic, Mexican oriented professional wrestling.

It's a little bit different, you know, you'll see a lot of mask.

You'll see a lot of different forms of pageantry.

Different psychology is way, way would say, within the ring to the different stories that are being sold.

But thus far I don't know about, you know, watermelons, prematch help my dad and uncle used to do for all fish and stuff like that.

I've seen pineapples get busted, so why not a watermelon using the back of the head as a weapon on that you don't see that very often.

It's not safe.

Came a clutch.

This is also a big thing here.

This is like a huge sign of disrespect within, like the lucha Libre cultures.

You know, unmasking a performer is is really big, especially in his case because he works within the ministry.

So nachos screwed.

At this point, you'll see it quite often.

We actually just saw Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio wrestling a match down in Colombia last week.

And I think there was, ah, moment where Randy had the Mass completely off and Ray was just face down.

He didn't want to show his face, so it's definitely like, you know, a different little signature.

You can put a moment within your story that you're telling, and it just really, like paints the bad guy, the villain as just being a real piece of shit.

You know, if you get on mass command, you're a piece of Oh yeah, big wedgie.

Yeah, I've never seen that, but that's the most ridiculous set underwear I've ever seen.

Just how loose that that's.

That's not even later his punches and knees and you could see like the Holy Ghost in between.

So we gotta work on that, you know, and that's how you can really tell the good ones, is whether it's crisp.

When the strikes of there you can see you know, the meat move and the sweat fly.

That's a part of our magic.

It's It's a very physical ballet, but you put your heart out there on dhe.

Sometimes you look silly doing it.

You know, we run our own shows.

WW does go down to Mexico and I was just in South America.

So, you know, way definitely love, divide with the cultures and just the diversity of it.

But our show's don't necessarily look like this, I'll say, But yeah, not really break.

I mean, right off the bat.

David Arquette.

He has, like, a legitimate history within our business, you know?

And you can see it in his eyes right now.

David on his butt, looking up in macho man, that that kind of feels real in its own right.

You know, someone like him, someone kind of within the business, but not really in the business.

Kind of a fan of the business, but kind of in the business.

It's weird.

The fact that they're in a 7 11 I don't even know how the ropes got in there.

They have ill is in between dropkick body slam, big double axe.

Handle those air.

Still, today people still do nitro girls we don't have Those are women.

Were they wrestle and they wear what they wanna wear.

Not very realistic as far as these guys doing.

It's a certain guys that they're taking the moves, but pretty close.

Got still chair.

Pandering to the crowd is not usually that gets started.

Pretty soon, a team of bald eagles and some John Cena shorts kick to the beak from you.

See it from the Taliban of some sort.

Okay, I mean, I guess you could tie that into a little bit of our history, even even a little bit here and there to this day, you know, the way we connect our crowd and social media, it sways the opinions of a little bit, and everybody's opinion can be voiced a little better.

But that used to be a tactic where, like the iron sheik, you know, going against this all American looking Hulk Hogan.

That was definitely something that would be played into the story lines, but I think nowadays we've kind of we've We've evolved a bit with the times.

I just feel like where we're at in 2019.

Grey area is key.

It's hard to just paint one character as all right.

This is the template for what you do.

These air the boundaries of what you are.

It's not very realistic.

Opposed a character kind of being true to said each day the announcers private promoter in the owner as well.

Human spider That's it.

That special God.

Sometimes to this day, you you're here like Roman rang or something weird, you know, especially when we're in a different country or across the world.

I had my name butchered in quite a bit for a while, so I know you're spiting.

You shouldn't stand on stage and bicker about your name.

You should probably get going on assumes you go through the curtain clicking on you just gotta have a thick skin and know what you're doing out there.

I've gotten out there multiple times where they just weren't having it.

They're booing the hell out of me.

And by the end of the match, by the time I hit that spear 123 there cheering me, they're standing up.

So that's what's really cool is through the course of 20 to 30 minutes.

You can take him on whatever ride you want to.

You can go out.

There is the enemy number one and then come out on cloud nine.

Just the man.

You know what I mean?

The chair sucks.

All right, The chair.

So all the dead, there's toys.

They never were great numbers like, Yes, I want to get hit by kendo state.

That's what I want to do today.

Yes, I'm gonna go through a table.

No, I don't ever want to go through tables.

It's just this story that we're telling at the time.

Are they necessary?

Sometimes.

But no, I don't ever think like, Yes, Do we need chairs?

Hope we need chairs.

I want to use the chair.

Today.

There's not.

There's not, like an ounce of me.

That's thinking like, I want to get hit by chair tonight.

I'm not a big fan of the cage either.

Uh, yeah, yeah.

Just give me the ring in the ropes.

I don't I don't need all that cage actually kind of limits the maneuvers and the things and the way I can use the ring.

But the cage is a cool story in its own right.

I mean, you're trapped in there with a monster, beating you on the back with a steel chair.

What are you gonna do?

You know how you're gonna respond.

Are you gonna step up and come back or you're gonna smart enough to get out of there?

So I think the escape adds a cool, like shade to the story.

But, man, it's metal.

It hurts.

It's high.

You could fall down.

You know, there's a lot of variables that I just I don't appreciate.

I've seen some similar situations that were kind of conveyed in this movie, and then I can see how some were a bit carried away.

There were some things that were, you know, pretty informative and then some things that may have been exaggerated a bit.

But I think obviously everything's on the individual case and the different situation and every every performer, every wrestler is their own person.

So there are We're all gonna have our own journeys and our own paths and our own stories that so it's like a head scissored old school strides making strikes a little Sorry kind of light on that clothes line.

I'd like to really, you know, just on chest, you can throw it in there can be scared.

You could see them talking a little bit in the ring.

Sometimes you'll see that with some people.

Try to take a lot of fried and, you know, keeping my communication skills really private and very hidden.

The refs a part of the match.

I talked to the ref quite a bit.

To be honest, you can use them as like a communication bridge, especially if you have distance.

You know, if if you're both down and ones across the ring the other that ref is checking and doing his thing.

But he can also send messages.

He can send you little details that need to be known.

The rough is actually very important in the match.

You know, he he said, Me is the third character in the story that we're telling.

He has a huge, you know, roll an outcome of the match, obviously, and what he sees and what he can actually official.

And he's kind of the middle man as faras messages from the backstage to us that because it's live and time is money.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

So I watched glow a little bit myself the first couple of seasons and you know, obviously this is off of Ah, a true story you know, Onda rial, you know, show and everything.

So I thought they did a good job of really kind of making a show, but then also being fairly informative and using the real life characters and stuff.

But it was just pretty funny.

As you can see, Miss America, they're going against the Russian just how they do the characters.

And it's very true, you know, you have to You have to have characters in order to make these type of shows work.

Little girl up and over where they bounce off the bottom rope.

Nobody if you're if you're hell, just telling.

Come on, jump on me.

You should lose some of the greats.

Ricky Steamboat.

He did it beautifully, just opened up.

I mean, it was a picture perfect.

The Dragon Dragon could fly.

Wrestling is kind of a you know, an order order form of physical entertainment so you'll see a lot of moves recycled.

I do a spear like nine billion dudes in a spear before me, but it's just how you use it.

How you how you make it work for you, where you put it within the match and also how you signature it.

You know, you.

I a big advocate of making it personal.

So the character.

So I roar, you know, I cock my arm.

I hit the ground before the Superman punch.

You got to create interactions with the crowd to where they know.

Oh, here it comes.

Ex maneuver.

He's about the loaded up.

Here we go.

It becomes a part of the show.

You wanna have things that are identified with you.

Our business is cool enough and outlandish enough that we can be made fun of.

But we can also make fun of ourselves.

And I think we've done that for years now.

And I think that, you know, has kept us interesting and always kept us apart of pop culture's because it's a whole lot of crazy.
