Speaker 1:
You listen to me, you go to the top. Bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, Bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby. I might have a boyfriend I presented Because he had taken some of the attention away from me. Sure, and that's why, Not to do with my dad or anything, I just kind of liked the guy. Yeah, I remember my aunt was going back to Indianapolis at one time In those days. She took the train. So I walked out the back door of the hotel, my aunt and Aunt Nine, friend of my mother's, who was her boyfriend. As he walked out the door, he said where are you going? I said I'm going with my Aunt to the train station. He said no, you're not. I said no, she told me I could go and he pie-faced me. He put his hand on my face and pushed, jumped. I was 14 years old. I jumped him and knocked him down and my aunt was screaming. My mother came. I said this is my aunt, this is my mother. Who's this guy tell me. And you know what? My mother dumped him Her eye. She said he's not going to tell my kid when he's going to do something or not? Wow, I'll never forget that.
Speaker 1:
So when they were digging one time I remember, you know, we used to go out at night and I didn't want to get up and go out and go to my mother's home. So I knew we'd plug this car so well the other night and I took a knife and I cut the valves off his tires. Don't trust me. Oh no, I used to go to this grocery right next door. It's called Abe's Bell Contestants and they had these tanks where you'd open them up and they had Coca-Cola in them and stuff and you'd have to pull them through lines to bring them up, to hit the pier, diamond and nickel to pull them up because you couldn't get them out of there. Right, and I got figures. How could I get them out of there? Well, I can't. So I got a can opener and a straw. I could open up the bottle and put the straw in. That's what I would do. I'd just have to wait and wait. I was smart enough.
Speaker 1:
What courses were you in? Your wife had pregnancy and you were in the room and all this shit. What do you call it? Mirage or whatever? I had a work overtime so I didn't make the classes. So when my wife came down to the river, I was like I'm going to go to the river. I was like I'm going to go to the river. I was like I'm going to go to the river. I had to work all the time so I didn't make the classes. So when I came down to the river, when the room was back to the immediate, he said are you ready to put the greens on? You know the jacket.
Speaker 1:
I said let me tell you something before we go any further. I said I've never been here for the meetings. He said well, you don't have to do anything, but it could be Glory, would it bother you? I said I've seen Chris Taylor naked. And he looked at me and said what I said never mind.
Speaker 1:
And I went in there and it wasn't bad at all and we'd been talking boys the whole time. We didn't know. We named the kid Jasper Just for a stupid reason. So when finally she had my daughter I'm behind the bed right with the mask on I said to her. I said there's no prick. There's no prick. My wife said what I said no prick. The doctor said what I said no prick. He said, no, take that. So I, no. I said what the doctor said, what I said no proof. He said no proof. He said no proof. He said, no, take that. So I'm back to sit behind the bed. That was the worst I know, because you're looking for a boy, right? Yeah, yeah, for your truck boy. Yeah, it's just Dan, and I went through it too. We thought it was. We swore Maddie was a boy and I got a guy stabbing you in the back and shaking your hand. I think that's not in any business.
Speaker 1:
I've been in the wrestling business for 40 years, so I don't know what mainstream is out there anymore. I don't even know how much a gallon of milk is. I don't. I never had to go start writing and there's a lot of wrestlers that always shake your hand and you knew that if you were in the main event, they want to be in the main event, they wanted to be in your position and a lot of guys from main events. I never sat in the main event. I really didn't. I didn't mess with that part of life. I learned a long time ago in the business, like if you do do that, you're going to maybe have to get in a ring with that guy someday. An accident can happen, you know, you can accidentally go through something and hit you right between the eyes or something.
Speaker 1:
But you know, when I was at WCW I would see people there in the office that I'm in charge of paperclips. The person next to me is in charge of pencils. So I asked them could you hand me a rubber band while I'm in charge of pencils? They wouldn't do that, but if you well, I got the rubber band, they'd counsel me. Someone went to your desk and got some Not really, but you know what I mean. Everyone was jealous of me, but no one would help anybody. So I would see all this phony hello how are you? And this and that.
Speaker 1:
But I think a cab driver, if he's driving around with nobody in the back, he wants a fare. He wants a fare the other guy has. So I think anybody will stab anybody in the back. I think everybody has largely in their body and you just can't trust anybody. Now what do you do with it? Do you let them beat you down like that? What I do is I make friends with them Because at least I know what my enemy is. Then If I don't talk to the guy, I don't know what he's up to.
Speaker 1:
I remember I was in school there was this kid, his name was David and he used to beat me up all the time and he was a punk and I didn't like him. Well, I couldn't take the guy, but I knew how to get him. I would take my pencil box or whatever I had at work and I'd put it in his desk. And when a teacher told me to do something, I said I can't find my pencil box. Well, let's look and find it. So they looked and they found it in his desk. He's in trouble all day. It's not nice to mess with the weasel. So that's how you get back at people. You let everybody else. You just give them enough rope to hang themselves. But you never let anybody defeat you. You never let anybody. I told myself that growing said you beat Nick one more time. You get to keep him. Put the word in the streets.
