Sting in WWF would have been the 3rd Killer Bee named " The Stinger"

[@zachwhitlow4]

At 56:38 I am that Zach and that was my question!!

Still waiting for that Wrestlemania XI episode.

[@davidmejias4129]

McGergor would be horrible in WWE, they would water him down and PG the hell outta him. We wouldn’t get the real McGregor

Butch Reed was over in Florida, but Jim Cornette explained how OVW is the key to the HOF because Dave Batista was over in Ohio.

You know OVW was in Louisville KY right?

Can't believe we still don't have a Andre the Giant Episode

[@CamSTL]

Unfortunately Shawn and Marty both botched their nipup in their reunion tag match in 06. That's actually pretty ironic but the only time I recall him botching

[@Dizzy1980]

March 14, 2005 was their reunion and it was strange to see them both screw up in different ways. Marty didn't land properly, and Shawn landed but then fell backwards.

[@PhatLayCes7825]

34:34 looked like Rick James ate Rick James... deadXX

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

To the Vince McMahon retiring question, I think the only thing that will make him stop besides dying, would be if he Scott Dementia or something along those lines where he was alive but didn't really know who he was anymore. And I truly hope that doesn't happen to him. He is 75. I hope he has another 10 years of being able to be around the wrestling business and then another five years of Still having his mental faculties before passing away in his sleep.

[@tomseville1057]

Scott Dementia? He should have teamed with Damien Demento in the WWF...

[@MagickMitch]

Missed a trick here. Shoulda called it 'APA:Ask Prichard anything' would have made the photoshop easier lol

Or the guy from Pawn Stars

Conrad loves to rate the question. "interesting question here" "great question here". My god mate you're the one that sorts them, I'd hope you wouldnt pick a shit one.

[@Super122291]

Damn mike leave him alone

[@matsong5134]

Warrior couldn’t have a heel run because he couldn’t cut a decent promo. You got to be able to talk people into hating you.

[@jasondouglas152]

Indeed , it would have been like Goldberg's heel turn. . Warrior just screamed about spaceships , Hull Kogan , & Parts Unkown

[@matsong5134]

Jason Douglas 😂😂

[@deepblue8143]

Warrior could cut a better promo than anybody on the current roster not to mention that his intensity was unmatched.

[@thomasanthony5306]

You don't have to speak to be hated. It's just much, much harder.

[@sonicplys64]

Hey, Whitney Wright....👌

[@jaydaville1105]

Biggest Bret Hart fan, but no botches in a match is the greatest compliment.

Rick James story 😂😂😂😂

[@dalynsanders]

If you really sang super freak with Rick James... You are the man!

[@tommyhallum2054]

Sting the singer must not own his name because believe it or not Bruce wcw was a big enough platform for there to have been problems if there was gonna be.

[@Rjensen2]

Huh? Sting owned his name. He was Sting before WCW.

[@armandomorales0921]

Bruce's story when he saw and met Rick James! Hilarious! 33:38

[@Dredsed]

Never seen hbk botch? Summerslam 96.

[@Rjensen2]

That was Vader.

[@jasondouglas152]

I'm calling BS on Razor getting to be champ in time. He was dropping to low mod card when he jumped to WCW. Maybe since business was so bad that might have thrown ideas at the wall and eventually given Razor the strap for a month or 2 but I highly doubt it. Seemed like he had hit his ceiling in WWF and wasn't gonna do more that put young guys over in 96/97/98 ( if he'd stayed) As far as Connor McGregor goes , he's like 5"6 145 lbs. He'd be smaller than Becky Lynch in the ring. How could he have been a threat to anyone?? .. I mean a 1 off at Wrestlemania might have drawn money but a full time run as a wrestler would look / be absoutley ridiculous. I'm 5"7 and weigh 195 and have been lifting for 15 years and I think I'd look so tiny in that big ring against a 6"5 250 lb opponent that it's the main reason I never considered the wrestling business. I've been a fan since 1987 ( but everyone knows you need to be tall) AJ Styles will explain to anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about. He didn't get a shot until he spent 20 years in TNA and the Indies building a fan base. And he still looks tiny next to someone like Randy Orton ( who was small when he broke in the biz in early 2000s

[@danlord7717]

Jason Douglas it’s crazy to think in ‘87, guys like Steamboat and Bret were considered “small.” Today, a guy like Reigns is considered a beast. While he is a big dude, he’s about the size of Hennig in his prime. And Perfect was not billed as a big guy. Just look at the hosses on the roster then - Hogan, Hercules, Warrior, Brutus, Butch Reed, Orndorff, Demolition, Billy Jack Haynes, Patera, Duggan, Volkoff, Muraco, Haku.

[@jasondouglas152]

It's crazy how the size of the " boys " has changed. Everyone was Stromans size in the 80s

[@danlord7717]

Jason Douglas absolutely. The guys are far more athletic these days, but the average size of a wrestler now is about 5’10 and billed as 220 (while their actual weight is about 185).

[@jasondouglas152]

Yeah it's crazy. I know the heights and weights are always exaggerated, but even Jake Roberts was a legit 6"5 and 230 lbs at minimum. It's same in boxing and UFC. People lost interest in the heavyweight divisions because there's so few guys and most of them are out of shape and zero charisma. Guys like A J Styles and Seth Rollins are a product of Shawn Michels and Bret Hart. But even those guys were 6"0 225 ish. And they were tiny back in the day. .. I think people really like to see the big guys fight eachother , probably 1 of the reasons why business is so down. Hogan vs Andre .. Hogan vs Rock .. Hogan vs Warrior , ECT. Now it's AJ Styles vs The Miz or whoever with a combined weight of 350

[@andrewmckee6580]

Ive met a number of the current guys. Finn Balor is billed at 200ish, but he is lucky to be over 180. A few years back when I was in rather good shape, 5'7" 200lbs my arms were twice as big as Finn Balor's...dont get me wrong the guy is as shredded and lean as possible, but not a big guy at all. Look at Drew McIntyre vs Adam Cole in NXT Cole looks like a small child. Its the evolution of the business...in the 80's 230lbs was small, guys like Tito Santana, Curt Hennig, Rick Martel (who was a monster in reality). But then you had 6'5" 300lbers like the Warlord, hell even Haku looked small back then. There is more diversity of height...there are still the giants like Rowan, Strowman etc they are as big if not bigger than Big John Studd who was the #2 Giant of the time. But the lower end has opened up dramatically.

The wall over in russia? Does he mean the Berlin wall? Oh dear

[@stuartmorris2803]

@Jacques Malan also because the Berlin wall wasn't in Russia, it was in.........Berlin

[@stuartmorris2803]

@Jacques Malan they were talking about the Berlin wall but because most people in the USA are thick they thought the Berlin wall was in Russia because..'it's an evil communist wall God damn, sashafresh'

[@jasondouglas152]

WWE would be stupid to not pull the trigger on Tessa Blanchard and go ahead to set up a Wrestle mania match with her and Charlotte. Start them off as a tag team and then do the usual. License to print money. The story tells itself

[@jasondouglas152]

Exactly, they could play the obvious 4 horseman anglecor Flair vs Tully or a million other ways to make it work. My point is that it's too easy for a WM main event ( since women have to be the main event now( shit .... Ronda Rowsey could interfere in the match. Notheless just book it

[@gamebunni79]

I honestly think Tessa did a brief stint in NXT or at least had a tryout at the PC and they parted ways shortly after.

24:46 Who's El Tea? I don't remember that gimmick.

NFL HOF'er Lawrence Taylor worked one match at a PPV where Bam Bam Bigelow put LT over.

[@Dizzy1980]

El Tea.... LOL

[@franzisaryk5965]

Thor Valentine come on really are you kidding of what

[@StuUngar]

Sting owns the “Sting” character. I remember reading, and idk if this is true, that the singer has to pay royalties to Steve Borden to use the Sting name.

[@jimsheppard3166]

I’d assume this is untrue, since the singer has been going by Sting since the 1970s.

[@Dredsed]

Read where? Your ass digest? Definitely b.s.

[@Rjensen2]

Absolutely ridiculous. And of course, you claim to remember it, but apparently don't remember where you heard it.

Can someone post the start/stop timestamps so I can skip the obligatory Batista's Dick meme question? I'm gonna listen on my commute later.

Dear Mr. Prichard + Conrad, Can we please get a Trish Stratus episode??

[@Eric-wu7bp]

It’s now on the archives

[@adam-thesportsguy6147]

I love HBK but Kevin Nash would disagree that HBK never botched...he took the worst Jackknife Power bomb in the history of the business at Wrestlemania XI.

[@justinmartin1831]

Both have said HBK botched that on purpose to make Nash look bad. Friendly rivalry. HBK wanted to be the too guy at the time.

[@freemind6954]

Corey Graves is a jerk. Booker T should have knocked him out even if their beef was a work.

[@Mimekiller]

I can answer the Legend House Q, the show wasn't developed for WWE NETWORK, it was for normal TV but it was so BORING no one wanted to air it thus it was dumped on network.

Yes $1 a year they worked out. The singer was out first but the stinger trademarked it first so he owns the rights.

[@josephboza7448]

Before I give my opinions, just want to congrulate everybody at Something to wrestle with cause they are at 75,100 subscribers on their youtube channel. Anyway, this was a fun time opening the mailbag. I know I am in for a good time when Conrad opens it. I think Brock vs Hardcore Holly feud was a real let down. Considering Brock almost ended Bob's career and cost him 14 months maybe I was expecting more of an intense Bob Holly and a better payoff. I loved that grocery store match. Booker T was funny as he was crying every time Steve Austin was kicking his ass.

[@booty121212]
