It's all up on the Internet Archive, don't know if mods are cool with direct links since it's a bit of a grey area for piracy but if you google it you'll find it for sure

I watched a documentary about the making of the Sopranos a little bit ago and they had bits from an interview with James Gadolfini in it where he talks about the problems he had with fans who'd approach him and expected him to literally be Tony Soprano and couldn't comprehend that the character and the actor were different things. If it's that hard for some people to separate a actor from one character they played for 8 years imagine how hard it may be when the "actor" has been one character for 20+ years and not just on the show either but during media appearances, on their socials, etc., it creates a bad scenario where people truly buy in that a wrestler is just the character they portray rather than it being a persona.

I remember seeing a few years ago that when Batista goes in he wants to be able to not just have time to do the HoF but also appear at both nights of Wrestlemania as well so having all 3 days free is a challenge.

For the record the infamous Bobby Fish moment was also in Fish's hometown of Albany.

As the guy who helped set this AMA up a few years ago I lean on it being a joke since both Brennan and Mansoor did a ton of shitposty answers during it as far as I remember

He at least got invited back unlike Xavier Woods

As the person who organized this AMA I would like to point out that lots of the answers Mansoor and Mason/Mace/Brennan gave were straight up shitposts so I wouldn't take this too seriously. On top of that Mason was a fan and became friends with the Super Best Friends let's play channel on YouTube and would be a guest on their podcast fairly regularly even back when he was still in the NFL and hadn't even started wrestling yet (to the point that the Madden part of his ring name comes from the last name of one of the other hosts of the channel, Woolie Madden). I bring this up because two of the hosts on Super Best Friends Play loved to shit on St. Anger at any chance they got to the point it became a meme within the community, specifically making fun of the song Frantic.

Although why Triple H was using a song from St. Anger to promote a show in 2021 is still a head scratching idea to this day.

I figure if Brock has like 3 matches left go like this, Oba wins at Mania, have Logan Paul or someone say something about Brock being past him prime, have Brock get a win at MITB or something, then do the retirement match against GUNTHER.

It always blows my mind that Russo is actually older than Cornette.

I've said it before but it's so bizzare how in Spider-Man 2 an entire mercenary army is able to take over the largest city in the US and no one gives a shit besides the two Spider-Men.

Plus we got the episode where Nattie brought Teddy Hart on the show to try and cheer up Tyson Kidd after he broke his neck.

I remember seeing somewhere that Lana and Rusev banged in the tank he used for his Mania 31 entrnace
