"Prove himself a little bit longer on that reliability aspect. But as far as talent, shit. He's ready made to be a main event guy. I wish things had worked out better for him because I didn't like it. I still like it. He's a test son of a gun. He got to respect guys like him. So yeah, I wish I wish I had worked better, but thank God we had him. I'm really happy we had Ken Shamrock with us at that point in time. We needed him and he delivered. One of the dance partners you have in mind is Dan severn. It's in the observer that he's verbally agreed to terms and he's going to be coming in, somebody who's leaving, though, is crushed. He gives his official release, or has given his official release, elsewhere would say he was legitimately injured in the cane deal, as Kane accidentally dropped him wrong, and he ended up really upset over a situation with management and told some people off that pretty much paved the way to be the end of his tenure, I don't remember hearing about this at the time, what do you remember about crush maybe getting out of bounds a little bit? And that was it. Reliability becomes the issue again, you know, he had a great look, did Brian and had the ear of the undertaker. Friends, and undertaker takes care of his friends. You got to hand it to the guy. But he did Brian just ever had the it factor. It's my opinion. I might be wrong in this Bruce, but Bruce knew him better than me, Bruce Lee and real well. They hung out together some as I recall. But I didn't ever see the intangible that it element, athleticism, look, good-looking guy. A great personality. But, you know, he had this little secret so this little demons, and at some point in time, they always catch up with you. And they did him too. Let's talk a little bit about the next big show. We're back live now a few days after Christmas at the Nassau Coliseum, its December 29th, and even though there's only 20 minutes of in ring action, and a two hour show Meltzer would call it one of the best roles in a long time. And part of that was because it's a hot crowd man, 11,243 people, paying $271,000, that is an all time gate record for Monday Night Raw, and it's a legitimate sellout at the Nassau Coliseum. We're just a handful of months removed from you guys running 4000 seaters. And now we're 11,000 sold out. $271,000, the biggest gate in raw history, at this point though, you're still playing catch up ball on Monday nights to nitro. Was that something that was talked about a lot or were you just focused on your own business? And what they were doing was not as important. Conrad, you look at my schedule, you know, I've talked about this from booking live events, to hiring talent, to managing talent, doing the payroll, getting these big boys paid every week on time, I had no time, and certainly that's not a crass. Or arrogant. I had no interest in what was going on in Atlanta because a is just going to take time away from my real job. And B, I can not find myself. Now, I used to. This is a bad trade I've broken that habit. Of getting involved or getting emotionally invested is something I can't control or change. Right. Can't fix it. So I didn't tell you a lot of attention to it. The fact that they were on the air at the same time, we were reduced that opportunity to watch TV and, you know, we didn't have, we're still moving into that age, the digital, where you could say, hey, get me a tape. Or give me a send me a link to the last week's raw. Right. Things just weren't quite available for all of that regard yet, but man, I didn't have time. I didn't have time to I had responsibilities that had to be done, not optional. If a talent doesn't get a check on time, they freak out. Yes. They freak out and I never let that happen. Ever. Even when I was sick and doing payroll from home. Or I was doing the payroll when Lauren added is supposed to be doing it. And I was still doing it. They never were late on getting paid. We took care of the families and I was always a priority to me. Old school. So I was raised and I got the business. So that's where that lies Connie. You and I are talking on new year's day. What do you think Johnny ace is doing to celebrate new year's? I don't know. I haven't given a lot of thought lately. I heard he's looking for work. Yeah. Wouldn't it be something Tony Khan hired him? Oh my God. No. What's that line in Talladega night? Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby? Yeah. That's right. My leg, my leg. Meltzer points out this show is full of angles, including gold dressed up as the new year's baby in a diaper and a large bottle. Stone cold is going to come out and put them in the old porta potty and then he turns it over with gold dust in it. I'm sure he loved. This is such good shit, pal. Of course, this is the episode where we first tease that there's going to be negotiations going on with iron Mike Tyson and Meltzer is going to say this is a pathetic ratings ploy because of the way it was handled, and we know that, well, it's going to

"TV in front of all the American people. She failure. Believable comrade. Look great. Show no fear. You just go out and you prepare for it and you do what you can do sometimes Kenny had problems getting his alarm clock to work. His preparation had fueled his but I would love to succeed, and I told Jerry Brisco with us. I got to take shamrock out of here in this loading dock and finding so if I'm not back in 5 or ten minutes, please come get me. I love that. Well, he's getting ready, of course, because he's going to have some matches with Vader, the people are still going to be talking about 25 years later. But I like this sort of old school package showing him training, showing him with his family. And then showing the sit down, this is, you know, how they used to build superstars in the 80s, but it still worked here in the 90s. Yeah, and so it worked today, Conrad. Yeah. People were especially today where people want more information. Yes. They feel a need for their information. Connie, I need dirt. Meltzer called that video. They aired a Ken Shamrock video and it was the best thing they've done with him to date. And this is something a little different. It's the road dog. What the hands on the clock keeps spinning too slow. I never hear the song again. The rest of my life. You'd be good with it. I'll be very good with. So we.

"It was really tremendous to me. Go out of your way to see it. Really, really a special match, but what's interesting is what happens at the end. As we mentioned, Austin's got that blood streaming down his face. He's in the sharpshooter, but because of the blood loss and the pain, he passes out. So Ken Shamrock calls the match and Brett gets a big babyface pop for that. But then Brett's not done. Brett keeps attacking Austin's knee after it's over, after Austin's unconscious, he's attacking a guy who's just prone and vulnerable and the fans start to boo. And all of a sudden now, Austin wants to get up on his own and walk back on his own and thanks to your words and the reaction from that crowd, this is to this day, the most famous double turn in history, am I right? Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, I've been, I got in the rest of the business Conrad in 1974. So I've been around a long time for better or for worse. Some people estimation. I'm assuming. But you know, I don't know. That was the exclamation point and the whole story. And what Brett did after the show, after the match was over, that completed the completed the double turn. So if you're wondering where during this match, Brett ordered the double turn take place. In reality, for my judgment, it was the masterful work of red heart after he had got the win. I thought it was perfect. And there's for the double turn was complete. So the next big piece of this we should mention is after Austin is revived. He still sailing the knee big time. He gives a referee a stone cold stunner. He limps to the back and the crowd is chanting his name. Meltzer would say, this is one we'll remember for a long time. One of the absolute best matches of all time and we're still not done. Coming up next is the legion of doom and Ahmed Johnson taking on Farouk crush and savio Vega. It's a Chicago street fight. And of course, Chicago is the kayfabe hometown of the road warriors. So they get a big pop. This was promoted as the co main event, or the sema main event. You have a cause of the road warriors. Yes. You just hit the nail on the head. Chicago road warriors, synonymous, and but they weren't the same road warriors that the Chicago audience had grown up idolizing. And I don't know how, you know, having Ahmed there was tough, you know, he was probably not really ready. But they look great coming to The Rain. Our impressive group, so the main event here, the co main event, we've got lots of crazy weapons and stuff, nightsticks, trash cans. But the thing that gets everybody's attention is the fire extinguisher. Now as the story goes, there's two types of fire extinguishers and they use the wrong one, and as a result, ringside is a mess and probably hard to call commentary with. What do you remember about this? Oops. Uh oh. Well, you know, that's one of the great things about doing this show. You know, I forgot about the fire extinguisher to be honest with you. It's not something I recall in my front of mind awareness every day. But yeah, it was uh oh, that was the wrong wrong piece of equipment. And it disrupted things somewhat. But the match is only going to be what it was. I mean, that sounds really funky. But that's the truth. All these elements, you got 6 movable parts. And you got some green in there. And I don't know what this match is. I guess if you wanted to cut it down to the nitty Gritty, this match was all about getting on that Johnson to have a positive experience. And to help get him over. So that's my take on it. You didn't do the match to get the heels over. The legion of doom was a great rub from Ahmed. I think this match is basically booked to get on that Johnson to continue to move upward. And he does what a visual it is after the match Ahmed gives delo the pearl river plunge and he and animal put wolfie D and Jamie D on their shoulders and set them up for hawk to come off the top and do the doomsday devos. Doomsday device to both. At the same time, three and a half stars here, and now it's time for our main event. It's only a 7 match show here for this WrestleMania. It's going to be undertaker and said, but boy, there's a little news right beforehand. Shawn Michaels is going to be coming out and getting the big ring entrance. He's going to be out for commentary. he holds his jacket open to shield it from Vince McMahon. He's at the commentary desk and throw up the wolfpack sign, which of course is something Kevin Nash and Scott hall have been doing a lot on nitro. To the point that the next day, on nitro, when Kevin Nash is making his way to the ring, as he's coming down the aisle, he gets right up in the camera and throws up that same wolfpack hand gesture and says HBK right back at you. How does this, I mean, Vince McMahon has to feel like this is a little, I don't know, thumbing his nose to him personally, is it not? A little cheap shot. A little cheap shot. Taking advantage of the atmosphere, the place in a time. And it wasn't, in my opinion, still to my opinion this day, it was unnecessary. Yeah. It was unnecessary. It was just shown out flexing some muscle in that regard. You know, Sean knew how valuable he was to the company and he knew that he could probably get away with just about anything as it related to Vince because Vince leshan and of course always said he reminds me of me when I was young, defiant. You know, anti establishment and all that good shit. So, you know, I don't know Conrad. I think I don't think it was, I don't think it was necessary once in a way. I don't even know what did it do other than us talking about right now. I didn't help the match. It didn't help either guys cause. I don't think. So unnecessary, but not totally shocking either. So before the match gets started, Brent Hart comes out again. He's yelling at Shawn Michaels. He's calling him a pussy and a faker, he yells at the undertaker saying when he slammed the door on him last Monday, he slammed the door on their friendship, he told Sia that he knows I'm the real champion. Sid winds up powerbombing Brett and they take him out and then the match starts. So as if you weren't sure this is a double turn, it's definitely a double turn. The match kind of is what it is. It's probably exactly what you would expect from a Sid match. It gets a star in a quarter. The match ends with heart and undertaker, glaring at each other, and Meltzer says they've done an incredible job this year destroying the credibility of the title with all the run ins and screw jobs and every title match, which probably explains why the title matches mean so little and the television ratings. Maybe not the best WrestleMania performance for a main event. It was going to be hard no matter what you did to follow Austin and Brett. At least the road warriors and Ahmed could use a lot of, I think you would call it garnish, some Gaga, some trash. But this is just a regular wrestling match. It is a big moment for undertaker and certainly undertake your fans. But as the story goes, I can't believe this is real. Apparently, the rumor was, Sid shit his pants in this match, Jim. I heard that. I didn't smell it at ringside, but I heard it. You know, you got to wonder how many times that's happened, you know, reality. A lot. Yeah. So Conrad giro had a bowel issue where you're afraid to fart. Oh yeah, I think we've all trusted the wrong one too. I trusted the wrong one at a red light and scottsboro, Alabama, about four years ago. And I've never made it to Huntsville so quickly in my life. Yeah. It's just a mother nature wins every single time blessed for heart. So I'd heard that story. To be honest with you, after the show, the only thing people were talking about wasn't taking a dump in.

"We're currently like bareknuckle fighting. They've got the ring and they do bare boxing But ken shamrock he. He went to his promotion. They do a pit in old school. Pit no rings got the ramp and the guys were the old like nineteen twenties like pants. Box robak i mean they get in there and you know i. It's so cool to watch. And i'm kind of like i don't i would never want to get in there. It's fun to watch right. But i like seeing these guys get in there actually make some money where they were putting their body through so much in the barely making anything now. They're able to go and make some good money. Yeah yeah yeah and you know. That's one thing i can also appreciate when it comes to pugilists them i guess. Or you're just combat sports freight i. It's not it's not so linear one dimensional like it has been say twenty thirty forty years ago right tolan. There's there's there's different there's mixed martial arts. Boxing kickboxing there's an and now with the bare knuckle. You know it's just. There's there's different avenues that that fighters can explore. You know told them you know they have. They have the passion for it. Just like boxers have told me you know That first time you get hit in the ring you'll know whether or not the sport is for you or no one for you right absolutely. Yeah yeah man. So no. I'm gonna have to maybe google that man and look that up as far as you know just this is it is it is. It isn't a sanction as well. Yeah yeah Be kfc is the organization. And they're just the of bareknuckle boxing and they're in a ring in you know they. It's basically the line and so these guys are up there and bare knuckles. And you know i would say that the majority of fights don't go to the go go. Don't go to decision right. I mean somebody's got knocked out pretty quick. Yeah but it's fun to watch manage. And having ken shamrock on the show i talked about. Hey what's your take on. Obviously have this promotion. And he was saying look. Here's the deal as four ounce. Gloves may way more dangerous than bare knuckle because you can take one hundred fifty two hundred shots in the head with. Emma may for gloves but if you want to bare knuckle you might take ten or five before you get knocked out and it's all over. You're not taken as many hits the head so his concept is like bareknuckle boxing sport out there interesting. Because you believe more in regards a headshot you're taking headshots anything else. Amazing what a perspective..

"Absolutely i remember going in training and I was never ever at a point where i felt like i had great training camp. I felt like i would have a good couple of days. And then i would can either take a day or two off I just wasn't able to recover. Like i used to. And i knew going in that it was going to be a struggle but don't think for a second in my mind that i ever thought i was gonna lose. I never thought that. I always figured i could find a way to win. I always find a way to win and unfortunately that never happened but at the same time my mindset going in there which because of the times that we were in an didn't allow you to be tough and be able to last and then be able to win at a later date in the inner fight they basically would stop the fight if you got hit three or four times and i wasn't used to that because i always used to being able to go in there and fight and for you decide when you want to stop. That wasn't the case anymore. Referees were stopping. They were stepping in and stop and fights even though if you fought a guy who had complete toughness that could take a lot of punishment and then still keep going and when they wouldn't allow that to happen and i felt that's where that's where my best chance of winning ones was taking punishment allowing the fight to continue to keep going and then as he started to get more tired. I would have the opportunity to catch him into submission. Zach didn't happen because it concept stopping the fight so they were playing it safe. I was i was in my i was forty nine fifty and fifty one. I believe something like that can't be possible. That was deputy long in the tooth. I don't i. Don't hold it against mccarthy. I don't hold it against the other f- it is what it was. I know what they were doing. I know they were trying to protect me. I know that they knew i was older. I know they knew. I didn't have the skills i used to have. But they should have known de one or twenty punches is not gonna stop me. They should allow me to guatemala shield. But i don't hold it against them. I know they were just trying to protect me. Well somebody else. Who made some waves in mma and Maybe was the perfect opponent for him. Since you had a little bit of showmanship any from pro wrestling was kimba. Slice rather controversial name in mma What do you remember about her. Dustup with kimbrough. Yeah i thought you know it was. It was again. I was disappointed. Hear him pass. Because i felt like he was just starting to find his way he was just starting to get himself in a position to be able to take his family and move into a different environment And it's sad when you see people that are really starting to get themselves. They need to be to be able to change their lives. And i thought that's what kimball was trying to do. And it just fell short one last question before we start to wind things up your back. These days an impact wrestling. What's old is new again. You're on their very first. Show the very first world champion. An impact in two thousand two here in huntsville alabama. And now. you're back there now. Are you enjoying your time an impact. It's sort of fun to see you back there. Yeah it is. it's mine. I it it. It's just a bunch of hungry kids that are just trying to find their way and there's a lot of talent there in the starting to get a lot more talent from other places because it seems like there's so many wrestlers out there. They're just not enough enough slots for everybody. So i think that now that there's a couple of organizations that are really out there on tv It gives these guys a chance to go to these places and still work and still get seen so. I loved the idea that there's multiple areas for these guys. Go to work. So i was excited to be there. I really enjoyed my time there. I thought these guys along with scott more. They thought they did a great job of putting things together and i was much appreciated for what they did for me awesome. Ken wanna thank you for coming on to kurt angle show.

"Interruption. Hope you're enjoying the kurd anguish. Oh did you know that. There is an official store for the podcast. It's called box. Gimmicks dot com is where you can find. Shirts hoodies coffee mugs and more all related to the kurdish. Oh it is one of the best ways to support podcast to check out box dot com and thank you for listening to turning obviously your career your mma career once you leave the wwe wwf. At the time skyrockets turn to the ufc feuding with tito ortiz. You have see forty dana white even credited you to the show success issue tedo take from pro wrestling to bring in an audience or was this a legitimate hatred. You had for each other. It was a legitimate anger towards cato. Ken wow i'm surprised you know it was it was with yet but it was a point to where i understood how to build fights and so therefore 'cause i i don't hate anybody i don't care what they do and must it's something to my family and even dan i'm angry and frustrated and fix it but i won't hate somebody. I won't let that. I won't let that fester i. I won't hate someone. I'll i'll fix it or i'll destroy it but i won't hate it so for that i did i i i used that and i used it to build an audience bill. He used it to build the interest. Because i understood how entertainment works and so therefore everything done i already about it. I had already left it behind. It wasn't a big deal. it wasn't important life. It wasn't in my mind until i had to fight them until they put the fight together. Then i made it an issue and yes. It was real because i made it real. Well you'd see forty is the most profitable show the ufc had ever had at that point. You guys put them in another stratosphere and of course the ultimate fighter debuts right after all which is kind of fun and you take part in season. Three against tito. What was your relationship. Like with dana. Why in the ufc. In that era. I it was great. I think the be only. I think the we're we're our issue. Came up was when I was Doing the ultimate fighter. I agreed to it. I was supposed to be in the first one. I told them. I couldn't do it because i had other plans and then When the when. I could do it. I said okay i can do it. And so we put together but during that time You know obviously. I have a lions team. I i put the fight team together. In fact is the ultimate fighter is literally based off of putting fighters in a home and training. Which is what i did And so two. They took that away. I you know. I mean it is what it is. I don't wanna say that. But i mean people can make up their own minds about it. i did it. I did it a long time ago. It worked i created champions from that and alison. Ufc was doing it. So people can make up their own minds of whether they think it was or wasn't That's not for me to decide for everybody else. Did decide on their own. But it was something that when i came in to. Me and dana were fine Going into the ultimate fighter. Everything was good. I made money for them. I built the organization up. I changed things for them. I told him i would and i did. The top came in when i was doing the ultimate fighter the. Nfl came to me and asked if i wanted to be a coach on their their new season. Coming up with the ultimate with the afl fighting league. And i said yes. I said but. I'm doing the ultimate fighter thing now. I can't really do anything like it done with it. But i i would love to so i went. Went ahead and put a meeting together with dana white. Because i wanted to tell them. Because i can do. It was carved out my contract. Like i could train my fighters i can get my guys fights and i can corner them. That was in my contract and so when i pulled away decide what i didn't realize was that he'd been screwed over by some of the guys that were actually working for the nfl ufc. They taken some documents and some footage that supposedly they weren't supposed to be taken. I don't know all the inside of a hated him so when i sat down to launch dana. I told dana knows that. Hey you know. I got an opportunity. You know i get eight of my fighters to be. Would it be on this thing and be able to fight and i said i need to get my guys flight so i think this great opportunity. I just want to let you know and he just people who up like. You're not gonna do that. You're not gonna fight for those scumbags those scumbags did this did that and says if you if you do this you will not fight because i already had a contract to fight right three bite you and i think i would already fought to and i said what are you talking about. I said you can't stop me from fighting. We gotta contract and he looked at me. I don't give a shit what we got. He says you won't fight. I looked at him as a day. We talk about it in my contract. I can i can i can. I said i'll tell you what. I won't do it if you can get. If you promise me you'll at least three or four. My guys fight every year. Looked at me so i can't promise that i said so. You're telling me now that i can't have my guys fight but you didn't fight here either. So how's at work. Since i have a gym and i have fighters that i'm training. They're supposed to fight and i can. I can have them fight anywhere else but in the nfl. Is that what you're saying. Is it absolutely then. I was like you telling me that the contract that we have isn't good even though we signed a contract saying that. I could do this. Because i don't care what it is. He says if you do that. You're not fighting. Ufc again and that's the lawsuit came in. That's how we got into the lawsuit stuff and Obviously that did not turn out well. Even though i was protected nothing ever happened to me but it just in our relationship got strained was because of what i f. l. or some of the guys that did to him even though it had nothing to do with me and nothing to do fighters that were fighting on that show. It had to do with me. Chaining these guys giving them opportunities to fight. And dan didn't want them to have that opportunity because these guys supposed to him. We scumbags was the law sudha drawn out situation. It wasn't we we got through a very fast Obviously i lost it but because of some of the some of the firewalls we had put in every touch me. Okay you and tito two more fights with on pay per view that has stopped by herb dean and then a rematch on tv which tito wins both times. Can you think it was your body giving up at this point..

"And even out the matches over I thought i thought the match was good. I thought i didn't see it. So it's hard to tell how the people perceived it but it seemed like everybody was into it and then we got back locker room. And i remember people going. Oh my goodness you guys kick the crap out of one another hobby. That was doing great and bret hart coming up. That was really good. I thought in my head. I was like okay. That's cool it felt good And then the interstate coming with me say brother great match nice job and then hearing afterwards how people were talking about how vader laid me out nicole. Me and i'm thinking to myself wouldn't what master they watching. I mean like he threw a punch. I roll with the punch. Which is what i normally do. When you're sparring or work with somebody you you punch com hits. You will with it. And i went down to sell it and i remember people saying well he really would that. When i just kind of chuckled. Like i'm not going to deny it right. I wanted to believe everything. They're seeing chuckling. Because i'm like he never touched me. I mean like it was like a it was like a pillow. Us trying to stir up. Shit you how it is with with media and fans. Everybody thinks they know what's really happening in there. And the reality is i mean. Beta were great together and we were friends after that. We were friends before that We both were very excited working with each other. The only part of that whole thing. Where i was a little bit i and i told him i was sorry. And he said don't worry about brother. You know it's your first batch. I broke his nose. I do a knee. But i think that was more in a case where i was throwing it because i wasn't communicating and through a knee. And he went down and so his head with down in miami so it was just the impact of that he never wanted. He never once complained about it. He never said anything bad. He came out to be appreciated. The match i appreciated and we never had anything bad to say about one. It was really good opportunity for me to understand. Came to me and said that was really good. He said but if you're gonna keep working in in in this industry you're going to have to learn to ease up a little bit. He said but it was good it but now you kind of got into an understanding of where you need to be and so i did so it was a great first match for me because then i understood that what i needed to do where i needed to go. Well we're going is a wrestlemainia with iraq that's really your first big wrestlemainia moment and match and We know now. The rock is the biggest movie star in the world. What are your member about. Working with. The rock yeah. He was like a sponge. He was learning a whole lot. He came in with the nation. kinda was covered up Didn't really get to let his mic skill sign or or his character or personality to shine because he was smarter than over by for rue lo. And then everybody else. You know big papa. I mean it was just a lot of characters. there's i think once. He got pulled out once they gave him the mike. One if they put in a program with me I thought that his skills and his two minutes ability to use the my really started to shine when we were working together. His professionalism He pays attention to details We had great matches. I mean really tremendous matches and and and for that. I truly three time. I had with him. You wind up being near the main events a lot. Of course this becomes the austin era. And i've always wondered and asked everyone who was involved behind the scenes. Whether it's bruce. Prichard or jim ross. Hey why didn't we get stone cold vs shamrock. Don't you think we ever got that as a headline attraction match. I you know there's a lot of questions about a lot of different things that didn't happen. You bring up the dance ever. Why didn't that happen You can bring up the no stone cold. Why didn't that happen. We could bring up the bret hart with his technical skills and his dimension skills. Why didn't that happen. It was just a lot of things that didn't happen Especially if you saw the program that being rocked put together and that he was able to move up from that it would have been a great opportunity for me to be able to put something together with with with anybody. I mean it could have been you know bret hart. It could have been installed cold ben with a lot of different people. Even steve blackman. I mean there was just a lot opportunity there to meet really continue to keep building programs with different guys. I've got one shot with the with the rock to show people who i was and what i could do and i did and then it never went into anything else. It should have been another program that i could have gone into with those names that were mentioned but it just never happened. Do you talk that up to wrestling. Politics is that the answer really. I don't know. I don't know is if it was me and the extracurricular activities i was doing outside of wrestling because i know that i was missing home and i was staying out quite a bit and partying and doing stuff. I probably shouldn't have been. I don't know if they had the trust in me To be able to move on and do another program to move up be carried the strap. I don't know but i do know that it wasn't like i wasn't doing my job. I mean i was doing my job but at the same time you know. Maybe i wasn't You know being the professional professional. I needed to be to be able to move up to that level. How does the end of the wrong calm. I mean it feels like you go on to make even a bigger name for yourself and mma on the other side of this wwf. Ron did you reach out to the ufc or you. Sort of frustrated with the way wrestling was going at the time. I think there was a lot of insecurity or my end When they get the thing was bret hart and then same with And then they did the little skit thing with the with the road warriors where he fell off the big screen and then everybody saw body fall behind it. It it gets fell. I just felt like it was. It was hurting the guy that you knew that you worked with that. You was down in towery with him and he falls in the raptors. They did this screw job. Bret hart was your michaels. They may do a little skit where the road dog or the road. Warriors one. I think it was. Hawk opposed fell out the back screens. Your body at the ground and everything. I was taught going into. Wwf was that you had to trust people in that when you went into the room guy across the you have to trust that he was going to do his job. You were gonna do yours. Referee was going to do his the announced as we do their jobs and then so on the ladder but he was doing their jobs for ingles and and keep everybody happy and only in the right direction and it just felt like it came apart. Like i felt like my trust in. And and the the security i felt i had Was just disappearing. It felt like there was no foundation there for me and then again. I'm not saying this is true. I'm saying this is what. I was feeling that i felt pressured like bike. I was going to be you know. Destroy like i was going to get ruined or like you know what if that was going to. What if something happened to me because you know somebody wanted to do something And doors were now open to do that. Because of what it happened you know with these other things and so it was just a lot of untrusted. Guess on my part and not to say that anybody did anything to any one person did anything to to build that. I think it was just a combination of a bunch of things that had happened. Just made me feel like. I wasn't wasn't wanted anymore. This why you left the w. w. yes.

"Look like if it was real so you set a new standard. It was funny too because matches. I think eighty percent of ended in the in less than two minutes. It was it.

I been doing this over in japan and alison brandon here but now this is like hold other roles like guy football. Kick a guy. He's on the ground. I was just. It was a dance. But when they're telling you this you're like in your mind. This is like in in ninety three like no. You can't do that like their lives rules. You can't do that so when explained it to me on my know now anyhow but you know what i'm gonna fall over fall this through just to see and really in my mind. I was thinking they're gonna say okay.

This is gonna work. I'll just nod my head. Yes and i'm going to beat him up so my mind i was like. There's no way this is happening. It can't happen. And i watched the first aperture argued.

Because i just take to the ground and of course we all know how that works when when people don't understand what happens in a real fight you know.

"So i get to nelson's place and he goes okay. We're going to have trials. And i thought to myself. We just paid to sucker. Like fifteen hundred bucks tryouts as i okay. I know what's up. You ain't gonna make me quit. Whoever it is they're going down he worked out for almost two hours to dirk. Law feels doing push ups doing all sit ups and just wearing us out for hours. Yes danny puts in the reagan had shooter comment and so he to two guys going there and they quit and then i get. They're not tired right. And so this guy's to forty maybe six to. He's bigger than me. So i go whether or not they myself. I gotta get this guy tire. Because i'm tired right so i figured i'd go on. I'd exert myself. So he goes into your heart or not just defense defense defense advanced. Filing we end there about ten minutes or so. He's tired because he kind of chunky. Heavy say guys. Big dune though and i start lighting just ripping apart and hit then. Now she goes okay. That's good and i was like. There's no way that i failed so Might dallas my. That was my first experience with with with day. A legitimate child because were passing guys. Legitimate made it do tryouts. They make they were in in and it was old school way. Where that's the way guys. do they. Were going to come in. And if you really want to be a professor you had to get beat up. Had to get callous and you had to earn it. And so that's the way nelson random school and so it was probably maybe a year and a half after i did my child debt I executed a sort of carrying the strap so it was something that i didn't like when i forgot didn't like but i i wasn't all into it. I was to tame it to me watching my dad or that kind of thing. But not something that i could feel like i do. I think i could act. Like i was trouble or let somebody beat me like style bill but after i got into it i really. I really started to respect it. I started to understand the technical things to the the mind Strength that you have be able to create characters to be able to create angles feel match together. It's just so much to it. That i don't think people should understand how very hard it is to be successful in a pro wrestling more. You get into it the more. It sucks you in really yup yup. I heard a huge respect.

You make change Especially when you for long periods of time change is hard and change hurts people But save time changes necessary In order for you to get better or to create better thanks you have to think outside the box and go beyond what most people think is normal and so i remember when when we were doing the what we call hydrog wrestling and that was really a predetermined ending but everything in between that ending in the beginning and the ending was like a sparring match like really hitting people. You're literally putting submission hold on but you catch in that goal catch and release catch wrestling and then the ending always predetermine. But there was a lot of time. Some guys did make the the ending because they didn't have what talk so some guys who get out Some guys would just get exhausted and couldn't continue so you just okay. I'll i'll take the finish so it really pushed for wrestling and pro wrestlers To be a at another level you came in you the wf or or fujiwara gumi you can come in with with the pro wrestling mentality. You came in with the mentality of being a shoot wrestler Because you couldn't come in and sell things because if you did that guy when you see job so it was yeah. It changed the culture of what people were used to seeing impressive but even though we were doing that i know suzuki i know myself. We were frustrating. Because we were going in and we would love to hide wrestling but we got your point to where these older guys moving badly. Everybody in the audience knew we could beat them. Everybody knew that the outcome of that now was predetermined and that we had ease up on the striking was living told. Don't hit them. Don't kick them and just do the grappling part of it and and fanatic was doing the same. Dang suzuki doing the same day and we got the we were just. It was frustrating. Because that's not what we signed up for like. We signed up for hybrid wrestling and it was being taken down to the more into the pro wrestling thing and not the role adapt. This is we were young. We're full energy. We earned the right to be sure. And now we're being told because now that these people who are doing it a lot longer in us and had gotten a little bit older is slow down a little bit that now we have push ourselves down in order to put them over and to me. That's not what highly wrestling's about it was about guys continuing to keep growing and moving up and that the people that deserve to be on top yet were on top not the other way around. And that's why. I was so in love with this so for not to get enough inaki but phonology zouqi came to me and said hey why do a certain other league and it was gave they. I mean we didn't tell anybody we want anybody to know we wanted to start this Mitch get the the ducks in a row and that we were gonna move out of this because he just he just wasn't going anyway. Just tell the audience knew that this wasn't popping anymore right in so we felt like okay. What would it be like if we literally turn head wrestling in to shoot wrestling. What would it look like. And that's how we came up with bankers. I mean that's literally what is because you've got the rope escapes. You got three five rope escapes depending on what match it is. You got dow's submissions So it became now suddenly. We said we're gonna take pro wrestling or heidari pro wrestling and we're gonna make it real. That's when the first show with pancras talk about earlier. That's the very first show that we did to.

I didn't understand that at the time. And you're right. You know he called me. Why are you upset. it's it's a compliment. I'm using like you're right randy. I'm sorry it is.

Thank you well you know what too bad asses were using that move in. That's that's all. I have to say about race. Doug show we have some great questions for you absolutely roll all right. Listen can and i research. We found that net and highschool you excelled in both football and wrestling as a senior. You qualify for the state championships in wrestling. But you broke your neck in practice. Days before competition and underwent neck surgery. So you had a broken connect to what happened. How did that affect you down the road. I i'll tell you it's one of those things where if you know my story I came from the streets of out of a caller got stabbed in ten years old in and out of homes. It up boys home at thirteen. And i was. I was a kid that was going nowhere and literally. It was a bad kid. Nobody wanted to be around me. Because i was bad. It was trouble and he took all of that anger and frustration that i had towards life and we put in something positive which was football and wrestling. I bask blood played everything. I excelled at everything but the things that i focused on which was during school time. was wrestling football and i excelled at it and because i excelled that all of a sudden i became relevant Teaches wanting to make sure. I got good. Grades coaches always watched over being class. Making sure that the teachers are making sure that. I'm getting my work done. And i bought shamrock. Who was a stand as my father. And and and pushing me in the directions that i needed to go and all of a sudden you know. My senior year comes around. I got scholarships i mean. I've got scholarships wrestling. I scottish football. You know i mean. I was relevant before that i was. I was just kidding. Group home now popular within the small community town in susanville in i had done well in football wrestling comes around i do. I beat a nevada state champ. As state champions one in the way classes were different in nevada than in california and so two different divisions. I rest one where we have. The road return which is one for all of northern california and northern nevada. I won that one The guy at be was a hundred and eighty five pounder. And i believe it was in nevada was one seventy five or something like that was way below and then above it was one ninety five so we split up into the callaway class which one eight five and so i ended up winning that tournament. And outweight hundred seventy pounds. That's one thing under way way under. But i was so fast bets. Three hundred twenty pounds. So i was very strong and so for me to be smaller quicker and stronger than most guys. Zero one eighty five. I outlast him. I was much faster than them. I was able to get take down to get him off. Bounced and i excelled. They're very very very well. It'll be the guy Believe it was one seventy five is lamont out of Douglas in nevada. Ibm at the renal train. Their reno turn it down there and so there was two guys it won state championships like three. I believe the the heavier one one four years in a row his freshman year junior and he was he also wanted his senior year. After i deem i was his only loss. And then of course the douglas. I ended up him and he wants state championships on his junior. A junior.

Dogma Debate
Christian Apologist vs. David C. Smalley
"Well let's dive in. We just had a debate on modern day debate on. Ever. Confused on the topic there for a moment but it was is it is the Christian belief rational. So anyone who hasn't checked that out, they can go to Youtube and type that in you can find us and we also had a debate on Justin Brierley's unbelievable show in the UK and it's funny I hadn't put the pieces together for some reason I. Think I just know you as tentative apologised, which is what you'd go by on twitter. And we had a debate about memes. It was very fun and and people there may be people who are listening right now that a herd of US tentative apologised did not know Uber Randall Rouser I don't remember how that will happen but I remember after our recent debate a set you message and was like wait haven't we debated before and you're be like Oh. Yeah. I guess I left quite the impression. But share you assure you it was about the name that I knew you by not necessarily your ability to have a debate. I mean there's a funny thing there as you know. When you're when you're building a brand. You've got to focus your energies on your brand so On the one hand I started calling myself tentative apologised tries to embody my approach to apologetic intellectual defensive, my beliefs I. I started calling myself that eleven years ago but also published books mean my most recent book is my twelfth one and so it's a zero sum game to some degree the more that you invest in building a brand called attended apologised. Invested in getting your name out there with your books. So I sort of have put more emphasis in the last years on my name rather than my my moniker online. But so that's yeah that's I guess that's my fault I got to apologize for that. We've actually call myself tended apology Dash Randall rouser. That'll be good. The confusion. Yeah. The tentative apologised Randall rouser. Yeah. kind of like a like a UFC fighter the world's most dangerous man. Ken. Shamrock things like that. He was he was on the show and that's how I got to introduce him by the way it was the most dangerous man can can. Yes so so let's talk about in. You're right by the way I did the same thing. I built the brain, of Dogma, debate for. Started as a blog I mean, gosh, two thousand. Eight I think Dogma debate started as a blog by twenty twelve I was doing this version of the podcast and only recently within the last six months or so I've made it my name in the problem with that is my publicists, managers, agents they're all going. We're trying to bill you out on these comedy shows as an actor with an audience but nobody knows your name like what's going on with that? I'm like well, they do domain, but you have to know what you know. So I get out. So that's why we switched everything to my name, the website, the twitter. Everything of course, people will think it's about my ego or that I want a pat on back. It's really about marketability and being recognized and and when you're putting yourself out there and building a brand, you're running your own business and the name of Your Business is you because if I'm going to be you know a lot of times in these smaller films to as an actor, they will book you on a roll based on your audience is. So if you are if you have no followers or nobody knows your name or the biggest thing you ever did you did anonymously. They may not book you because they want you to bring your audience in to watch the film right. So that's why they go for big names in the lead roles. So she's like my manager and my agents were like you really need to streamline everything to David C smalley like across the board and so far it's working I. Thought when I did it people would think I wasn't going to have conversations like this anymore and that worried me that they thought it was abandoning this but I, I think I did a good job of communicating it publicly and nobody has left. So we'll they've left but for different reasons. They didn't leave for that reason. You know. So it is a it is tricky. So I'm glad I did love the dogma debate brand I mean it's a great title but yeah, I perfectly understand where you're coming from. A. Lot of people didn't like it would kind of not really scare Christians away. But for those you know lay Christians who just wanted to have a conversation, which is actually what I do. By the way it's just very respectful. Peaceful Conversations They felt like it was a very formal debate format and they were really intimidated to come on and then when I would actually convince them to they would go listen they'd like Oh you just have conversations with people and I Thought, you know as cool as the Dogma debate name is as popular as it was how it looks nice and tight square blue logo with similar links and everything else. Right. It's just not worth if it's running people off, it needs to be more distinct to what I'm actually talking about. So that's why that's the reason we made the change. So I agree it was fun while it lasted it was good and I still WANNA consider those to be segments on the show like. I'm working right now on putting a debate together to happen on my show, and that will be a dogma debate segment of the David Smalley podcast. So It's you know none of us know what we're doing randall none of us. Now we're just we're trying as we go and everything's trial and error. We're out as we go. Absolutely. Okay. So when I heard the title of your book, the first time I heard it was actually during our debate on modern day debate on YouTube and I was I was thrilled to hear that I immediately knew I wanted to talk to you about that. When you came on my show because it's it's something I wish really every Christian would do you know is to think about what their inner atheist is thinking and a Lotta. Times one of my favorite questions, I, ask believers on the show is I'll say we'll talk about in the Patriots section and I Do a little tease, but always WanNa say what are some things that keep you up at night? What are some things that bother you if there's something in the Bible, you could take out what would it be and only one time in all my years of doing this have someone said the Bible's perfect. The way it is every other time someone picks versa goes oh man, this one really drives me crazy and I can share some of those with us. We go to the show but for the most part when you're the title of your book is exactly that. Conversations with my inner atheist, and then we'll talk about those things that keep me up at night. So what was it about your life in your experiences? That even inspired you to write this book. Well so my story I grew up in a I would say relatively conservative Protestant home so. I'm sure you're familiar with the term evangelical and the term fundamentalist, and it's it's becoming increasingly common to combine those terms and come up with the term funded jellicoe, which sort of gets a sense for a Christian subculture. That's has some characteristics of believe Anjelica and fundamental sort of conservative Protestant. The called common hallmarks of that sort of funded jellicoe tradition include a very strong emphasis upon having the certainty of your convictions knowing what it is you believe in why and doubt is always viewed as the enemy and. Then one of the results of that is you kind of get a very tend to get a very over-simplified black and white picture of reality, and again every time you have a doubt, you don't share it. You try to just suppress it get a simple answer for it. And the thing is that certainly in my experience as I grew up in the eighties and then into university in the nineties, you just find that that's increasingly inadequate paradigm. It just doesn't quite work if you really want to confront the complex to reality and then you have to confront the reality that will then you do have these doubts and questions and what do you do with them, and for me, the big revelation was to come to terms with the fact that the Christian tradition is built grows at Judaism and. The name Israel, which is the people of God in the Old Testament that name itself means he who strives with God.
Monday Morning Critic Podcast
An Interview with UFC Hall of Fame Fighter: Ken Shamrock
"He's the godfather mixed martial arts. He's in the u._f._c. hall of fame. He's a w._w._e. Superstar tag team champion founder of the lion's den but most impressive is phenomenal work with troubled youth and young adults. He's a phenomenal human being phenomenal athlete. Please welcome ken. Shamrock can't ken how is life today which beautiful man of above ground and rubbing lines man there is so much to your life. I didn't know where to start start where to stop so i think i've got a really good interview for you and i hope that is a good thing for you. I have to say man so researching researching your life life. One of the most impressive things that i saw was your cat talk man. He just blew me away right so i feel like of all your achievements and there are so so many the fact that you lived past the age of ten might be your biggest achievement that you've ever had i mean it's amazing that you're still here with us. There's no question <hes> it was definitely touching. Goal a lot of times there were times where i was drug across the cement because my <hes> <hes> biological mother was running from an attacker <hes> so there was a lot of things i remember when i was younger that you know could have turned got a whole lot different yemen and the way that you see kids in your approach that ted talk it kind of blew me away because i see a lot of ted talks and i always feel like some of them are very starchy. They're very kind of robotic. I feel like yours was one of the very few that came from the heart yeah because i think a lot of times when those ted talks happen. It's a lot of guys that are involved science or or or or something that doesn't have that ah emotional touch to it 'cause it's a business it's more of it doesn't have to be but most obits a lot of business and science yeah and i completely i agree with that and i know you've been down this road a million times. You've been asa million times. If it's a problem i can we can move past it but for those listening winging for those very few that don't know your life story early on just talk about your childhood very briefly. I know you've been down this road before and i i hate to ask you this but for those who who are not familiar with it. I think they kind of need to hear a little bit from you about what you went through growing up yeah when i was young i had a biological. Let's go mom. <hes> didn't know my father <hes> pretty much <hes>. She was a go go dancer. We pretty much raised ourselves at two older brothers. We were all a year apart. We're probably about five years old. This time and we were left home a lot. We were didn't have a lot of food so we would still food trash can that we're next door neighbors or or we we were still broken toys that were thrown away but we also learn how to fight at a young age because at the time we were five six seven there was constant war <hes> with racial tension and things that where we lived at so we were always fighting <hes> and it wasn't the same as what people think it is when you talk about kids that young fighting. There's you know or even adults and teenagers. They could care less the age they still would just kick in the head and move on so it was it was rough but we moved to napa california. When i was about nine eight years old eight nine years old <hes> went down there. It was all predominantly white. I didn't fit in there because the way i talked way acted so i was constantly fighting. There got stab <hes> <hes> when i was ten years old it was there for a little while they got wrong into the wrong. Group of people started fighting along got stabbed strong robbery ended up in juvenile. <music> hall woke up in the hospital with handcuffs on from that day forward. I became awarded the court that means that <hes> the judge and the probation officer became my parents put me into placement. I went to several placements ran away from those placements. <hes> ended up in chaumont boys home and that's where i really learned. You know how to direct my anger into something positive. He's he <hes> he put me into sports like football and wrestling be able because i was really angry so he helped me direct that anger into something positive of course. I started feeling good about myself. Because i was relevant i was taking that anger and i put it out the football field wrestling mat and i was getting praised for it so all of a sudden now i became popular rose dating cheerleaders and all of a sudden my life had changed and then <hes> i broke broke my neck by senior year. After all that stuff i went through and i thought things were going well. It's gonna get a scholarship in college and it it ended that day. When i broke my neck and i was told all the never play contact sports again well. I decided what my dad said. He can give later found to get up to do something about it. I decided to do something about it. Started chaining working out with played linebacker in college all american <hes> and they had a chance to go to pro wrestling pro wrestling ended up in japan <hes> japan. I ended up in pancras so i started doing some fighting over pancras. <hes> started doing well. It became a world champion. U._f._c. came around jumped in the u._s. A year later i'm world champion in japan japan and the u._f._c. yeah. That's pretty amazing because i don't think i could have said that in an hour but i have to say this might be the understatement into the year but is it safe to say that bob shamrock is an amazing human being he s he helped over three hundred boys and a lot of it had in a lot of had to do with it that he wasn't just housing them he he would help them direct their anger into stuff that they loved doing whether it seeing our music whatever was josh he helped them direct that anger and they love doing and i gotta say it. Would it be a little all over the board today. I definitely am going to get into valor became which i am so psyched about but i want to kind of set the stage here so one of the things are one of the many things i really like about you can is that you you you represent courage and sportsmanship in class and i feel like when i see the or even sometimes it w._w._f. I see things whether it's the internet or i see things whatever i don't know man like it's just too awfully cringe-worthy. When you see the amount of killing you're all about kids which i absolutely really love along with what you've done in your life but when i see some of these guys were supposed to be doing the right thing supposed to be setting the stage in the example for these kids man. Some of the stuff is cringe-worthy and i'm not going to get into names that three people under the bus but what i love about being you live what you said like you were. You're excuse the expression bullshit yeah. I like to think that i'm not perfect. Obviously i've had my issue but i always try to <hes> try to do the right thing you know and so <hes> that's something that my father had taught me you know <hes> got wonderful wife who keeps me grounded because sometimes with the business that i'm in you can get a big head so i got a great wife next to me. That keeps me grounded. What did i got a good family and <hes> i'm really blessed in that sense but at the same time you wanna be able to do more. I feel like the more popular it could become the more money that i can make the more that i can help. Somebody fulfill their dreams like or decay. I am so excited because because i get to be able to go back to what i fell in love with but to be able to help other firefighters be able to achieve their dreams when when i was going to get to valerie came one second but i have to say man the one thing about valor b. k. and i'll say this right now when i i said okay okay bare knuckle boxing boxy. I'm like oh boy. I'm a little concerned but when i did my research i heard some of your interviews. Maybe this is a bad analogy but maybe you can inform me on this. I i almost like rugby compared to the n._f._l. Right in the n._f._l. They were pads. They wear in the concussion rate. The after effects are awful but you look at the australian in rugby league's man. It's like those stats are way down. I don't know if that's comparable to a lot of valor bouquets about but i it seems somewhat similar right. It's a very pure form. Well let me tell you this. They don't wear helmets right. They got one that. I have faced so they don't they don't <music>. Hey they're not gonna hit you hard with their head. They still with the head right but they don't come leading with going hard so yeah similar because with fighting the idea is how many times you get punched in the head hard you get. I mean somebody gets up cases but the majority of the punch isn't about how hard you get hit. It's about how many times as you get hit right. It's so with bare knuckle man. The punches are effective. It's a fast paced fight. There's only three rounds and so you're minimizing the amount of damage a._m. Is just going to happen to your brain. May not damage to your skin or your nose and your jaw will minimize damage to you're not going to say can i. I was watching a heavyweight fight on fox and i had the boxer on. He was a really class act good guy but i think they set a record for punches thrown as a heavyweight match. It was an unorthodox of twelve hundred like there's no way that that doesn't have a side effect moving forward. That's a lot of punches to absorb over it. You know an hour our period or an hour and a half right and listen. They praised them for that all what a tremendous round h over twelve hundred over twelve hundred reproaches. You're like concern as yes. Yes yes so so. I'm coming back this. I so psyched about this about this new the bare knuckle boxing. We've been talking about it like crazy on the podcast. I wanna talk about vince torelli so you had to try out or was it dark match. I should say an eighty nine with barry horowitz. Why did the w._w._f. Sign you then like you're clearly talented. You're clearly have the ability why wasn't this. Let's get this guy going right now well if they would've been. I would've probably been a lifer and what have been <hes>. You no definitely done very well because i did. I did have the skills and i had the talent <hes> but for whatever reason i i don't know i thought in those guys they could see talent all that clearly. When i worked with barry horowitz they could see i a- talent even though i was only a year only had a year of experience and i'm sure they clearly could see that there was talent there for whatever reason they never picked me off.
