They literally lived in my apartment complex. Small world. That’s quite the list of people too, I thought it was crazy already just seeing Sabu around here when he lived here, would of been killer seeing all those guys.

[@visionembracer]

Did you know about “curt hawkins” and “zack ryder” at the time when you lived with them? Or where they just regular wrestling shmucks to you? lol

literally?

[@briangordon2955]

There must have been a few people who didn't think it was strange that there were big guys around with a gym nearby. Then if they caught WWE over the years it'd be like 'wait a minute, these are all my old neighbours!'

You guys should do that to every Target or Walmart in every city you guys go to. Look for figure of yourselves and sign it.

[@ShockerTopper]

I thoroughly love all videos featuring both you guys. You both seem to be actual best friends, it's really cool that you're friendship goes so far back. It also helps both of you seem chill AF and are probably the wrestlers I want to meet most (that I haven't already met).

That would be so cool to get a signed figure randomly like that at a target!!

I enjoy when you guys do this stuff. I’ve been listening to the podcast since the first episode. That TRU was totally sad, I knew what it must’ve been as soon as you pulled up.

Great video guys, thanks!

[@robertshay9235]

Thanks for adding the pro wrestling tees link in the description

[@pirajacinto4]

Man....I know hes probably been on the road for awhile now. But just think about it: Curt training to be a wrestler, may not even make it, and is able to come back to that very town, the building itself is gone but is able to find an action figure on the shelf of himself, proving that he made it. And is even able to sign it and it's legit able to get people to go to the store because he did it. He may not be the biggest star, but that in itself...makes the world feel like so much more of a happier place. Dreams do come true.

[@matth3805]

Sweet thing you guys did, 1 lucky person will be buying an autographed Curt Hawkins deluxe series figure. Damn wish it was me!

[@matthissim3137]

Looking back at Brian holding a sharpie instead of a paint pen is crazy 😜

[@joshg6972]

Love all the random sabu facts I learn after watching these! Speaking or which, do you guys have any info on the unreleased ECW "High Flyers" Sabu figure, with the yellow headdress? Do any of these exist?

[@rogregg29445]

Been a long time fan of you guys watched you in deep South because Comcast sports south had the rights to the deep South TV show I enjoyed it a lot and pretty cool to see you guys go back to your old stomping grounds

[@texashustler3813]

That is FUCKING AWESOME!!!! You actually signed your own figure that has to feel some kind of accomplishment for sure!!! You ever in the Dallas TX area figure hunting come by and say hi at Ha Ha Toys and Collectibles I will have a action figure of you both waiting to be signed. Pretty awesome video just liked and subscribed and hit the 🛎 bell I suggest everyone else do so too!!!

[@visionembracer]

honestly if i was a wrestler or just ANYONE that had my own action figure i’d probably always go to stores and sign them. would just be a very good feeling !

Matt my family owned a low power tv station in Perry Florida. And we used to broadcast Deep South wrestling on our station. I was going through some stuff at my moms house and found some 3/4 inch cassettes of the shows we used to play on air. We used to play the NWA as well. I will be going over there today and I will grab them if you want them send me a message and I will make arrangements to get them to you.
