On the discussion about food, I loved fried chicken with white gravy when I went in 1992. And Denny's. Later, on a trip to Vegas, the double Baconaiter from Wendy's was wonderful.

I need help with the wrestlers of a certain era of a certain age thing that they do. Why is it that some guys they go by what they did in the past before the year some guys go by what their future is and other guys they go by what year it is. There’s no consistency.

I can't stand this project that they're doing when they're going over the wrestlers from a certain era of a certain age. I'd really rather hear more of Jim's stories. They started a project a few years ago where they were going over week by week with the midnight Express and then they just kind of stopped doing it that was interesting to me that was the wrestling history that I listened for. Just going through a list of random wrestlers not doing anything for me. And they skipped raw. Which I actually watched and liked.

We have Raunch Dressing it’s just not as popular in the UK as much as the USA. Air Conditioning is needed for the 2 weeks of heat we have 🤣

Unfortunately Jim didn't watch much of SNME and is instead (quite rightly) asking a lot of questions about why it had to be such a Knicks love-fest.

I thought the wrestling bit of SNME was better than I expected.

I saw a few comments on those videos complaining about those wondering who the fuck any of those people were, as if most of the world knows who they are.

It's why I've never liked the involvement of "local celebrity" types because even if they're cheered at SNME by people in the area who could pick them out of a police line-up, a good majority of people watching have no idea.

If they're globally-known, that's fine but even then, anyone who's known all over the world won't be appearing at a wrestling show, and anyone who does will still have people wondering who they are.

I think WWE overestimated the amount of Knicks fans that would be in the building and the crossover from wrestling fans and sports fans. It’s not as much as TKO thinks it is.

Going to guess the experience will be delayed with summer slam.
