Rene is so good. He lets his guests speak. He is honest. Doesn’t try to hype himself up because he doesn’t have to. Thank you for what you do. I hope more people see this. You are so much more than your WWE run.
If everyone’s life is put under a a microscope and that’s the worse we’ve heard? I’m sure you were perfect over the years. I swear Peiple try to read people down to their level nowadays because they themselves are horrified people
He didn't bully anyone Read Chris Kanyons book, when the office found out he was gay, they put him in a closet on smackdown in a Boy George outfit taker legit beat the living hell out of him, because Chris wanted to come out
Then you got Mark Henry's response to finding out Darren Young was gay Gives him a hug. "Why didn't you tell me a long time ago! A bunch of my family is gay!"
Jesús Christ the build up to his nervous explanation had me burst out laughing Almost like something from South Park “to be honest guys.. I just think it was a little gay” - Randy Marsh
I still like Taker I don’t know any of these guys ppl just need to learn song worship these celebrities/entertainers we don’t know how they’re behind the scenes
Some of these stories are making me look at some of these wrestlers in a different light. I guess never meet you heroes. Poor Chad they must of rigged the shit outta him man
I like Taker but he’s a slave to Vince. The way Vince said “I put taker through hell and back” so arrogantly, how did any of this make you a better person? More money for sure it’s like Taker loves his sadistic master. His wife Michelle is straight up. I like her a lot. I’m just talking based on gossip y’all but heck this is what this is for anyways. I also don’t like how back in the day it was known that Melina got bullied by these men in wrestlers court yelling and screaming at her as she’s an easy crier. And I can best believe that Melina cried not so much out of fear but out of helplessness that if these guys were girls her size she would mess them up. The allegations about her dating life? And Batista stood up for her allegedly. And remember guys on Raw ivory talking about wrestlers court and she just kept talking to them and instead of Taker it was Triple H. Another gripe is Vince. He likes muscular muscle men. He used to tout them out back in the day making them wreck every wrestler in the ring and then it seemed he got bored of them and left them out to the wolves.
They did that to Melina because she threw Angelina Loves bag in the trash and told that's where she belongs. Melina got everything she deserved for that.
The key to beat hazing is to just no sell it and make them regret it. It's stupid but I learned it was better to take that beating for the one day, rather than getting pinched every day going forward. I don't condone it, but just like that Kenny Rogers song says "Sometimes you have to fight when you're a man". I actually think female bully's are worse to each other. They attack their victims mentally and behind each other's backs. Most guys are just immature dicks. That's what these 40 year old wrestlers remind me of.
Absolutely pathetic behaviour from people who should have known better. I'm glad we're having Taker exposed eventually. A shame tis stuff has largely emerged after he has retired with wealth and respect.
@@ThunderJuice I imagine Michelle is not cheap either. lol Same woman who tells the world he's not her type & that she didn't wanna date him, but did so because he wouldn't leave her alone. And told then world that her father thinks he's overrated & will be the first to say it. LOL! ALLEGEDLY she treats him like shit when there's no cameras around. And if it's true, I think "no better for him." Be a good dose of karma. But again, ONLY IF IT'S TRUE.
I mean once Undertaker retired and started doing more interviews he started to show his true self and how he was backstage, these shoot interviews are the receipts Guess it wasnt just the Golden age and the Kliq creating a toxic environment
Sounds like a modern times Diff'rent Strokes with Arnold and Dudley at the bike shop, hanging out with Mr Horton. When did they sit and watch the adult cartoons?
I love this podcast so much. I think something is wrong with the Apple podcast upload tho… some episodes won’t play… am I the only one having this issue?
@@cafederene creating one now! Thank you!! Please keep the podcast going. This is one of the best wrestling podcasts around. Love how real you guys are about everything.
probably didn't necessarily hate gay people. but found something to mess with Chad over. then keep in mind Orlando was taking the tombstone, FU, Batista bomb, whatever it was at the time. Orlando was getting laid out by the top babyface to send the crowd home happy every night. I don't know that Bradshaw had to treat him better. but if he didn't, he would really be a dick because Orlando Jordan was helping JBL keep his heat.
Man undertaker and the others supporting wrestlers court better be glad times were different back then these days undertaker woulda caught HANDS outside of the ring and in the streets people are more unhinged these days in this case rightfully so.
@@forgottenmma3694 mystique??? that would require providing some kind of interesting setting.......not a dirty living room with his nose pressed against the computer screen...
99% of people who are homophobic, or go out of their way to slander someone, with false claims of homosexuality and to bully them, excetera, just means they're homosexual themselves... It simply comes down to this and it's 100% provable, so don't think you're going to debate me on it, because if you do, you need to re-read what I just wrote and that is this, people are not affected, unless there is some kind of Truth involved and so if somebody goes out of their way, to make a big deal out of nothing, literally, whatever they're making a big deal out of, most likely pertains to them and they're just simply reflecting all that inner anger and confusion and emotion, on to someone else. I would bet the Undertaker and JBL and all those other guys, who were apart of this, are most definitely homosexual and this is the way they deal with it in public, opposed to how they deal with it behind closed doors...
And this is why Jeff Hardy and RVD used to sit in their car and get stoned instead of trying to socialize. I would have been the same way. These people sound horrible. I'm a conservative Christian who reformed into a Libertarian as I got older, and I don't like a lot of the SJW stuff going on now, BUT I AM GLAD STUFF LIKE THIS IS NOW NOT TOLERATED. In my experience, this stuff was always done by people who weren't outgoing and wouldn't try anything new, and if someone was actually confident and outgoing...It meant they liked men. Good job. 👎
@@louie8425 I did hear that Ultimate Warriror would opt out of banging Hulk Hogan's wife back in the day. I never knew that about Lex, but looking back on him, he didn't seem like a schidt stirrer. He was probably consumed with staying fit with how he looked.
@@Ken9284 Yeah, Bro. I don't know about your background or your life, but I lived throughout most of high school. I dressed nice, worked out, took karate, meditated a lot, traveled, read self-improvement, and on trips I was always eating with girls from different schools/walking with them. It didn't hurt, but Bro, it was just annoying.
@@nadirsanchez1675 Sounds like you knew him and were there?? Regardless of his alleged behaviour, there are other ways to go about things, from listening to this interview, it sounds like wrestlers ganging up on one person. Taking shits in bags, dumping stuff in the shower for peoples amusement doesn't make someone tough or a man, makes them nothing more than a bully and a coward, people who do this should take a look at themselves in the mirror.
Furthermore, guys like Edge, Matt Striker and The Miz came out fine because they have the mental strength to handle the business. The ones who can't take the hazing don't belong in the business in the first place
Look guys Chad got what he had coming to him and he didn’t really belong in professional wrestling if he was gonna cry because people think he’s gay but he thinks he’s not…. Guy stuff isn’t always cool and rainbowish but it’s better than being phony because you wanna keep your money. Chad was probably replying like “guys stahp, don’t say that, mmmnot gay okay guys geez” That doesn’t help. Good for the men in the locker room that day but sad for you Tom. Sounds like you had someone who wasn’t right mentally as a partner.
Rene is so good. He lets his guests speak. He is honest. Doesn’t try to hype himself up because he doesn’t have to. Thank you for what you do. I hope more people see this. You are so much more than your WWE run.

Shut up. Lol ofcourse he is more than his wwe run. Everyone who does a job, no matter how long they do it? Is more than that job.

Pat probably didn't have an office by then. He was less hands on after October 2004.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a "great guy" Undertaker was sure he didn't bully anyone but he co-signed every single incident
I guess that's exactly why Paul London called him the "mafia boss" of the locker room.

@@bdix42 taker was an instegator
Didn’t he bully ddp? He definitely screwed his wwe career up
He didn't bully anyone
Read Chris Kanyons book, when the office found out he was gay, they put him in a closet on smackdown in a Boy George outfit
taker legit beat the living hell out of him, because Chris wanted to come out
“Awh man we were up all night dancing” 😂😂😂😂
They were just there for the salad bar.
I wonder how scared Orlando was?
In another video they have they mentioned Orlando was always open and didn’t take crap about his sexuality!
Orlando was a black, jacked up former boxer. None of the WWE vets in 04 or 05 were gonna fuck with him, despite all the tough guy stories
Then you got Mark Henry's response to finding out Darren Young was gay
Gives him a hug.
"Why didn't you tell me a long time ago! A bunch of my family is gay!"
Oh gosh poor Chad man, just trying to help the gimmick out… 😂
Not that much into wrestling anymore, but i love hearing these backstage stories from the 2000’s

Jesús Christ I didn’t even get to the next part….. I didn’t know they had “you tuk ur jehbs” guys in wrestlers court…
What a different time the early, mid-2000s were.
They were definitely MID. That's why SmackDown! hasn't been on Thursday night, since. It sucks.

Yeah it’s how I feel about the undertaker. Lost respect for him.
"I thought they will tear his ass up!"
Not for the first time that week! Bah dum tssh.
That locker room sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon
I think Wrestler's Court needs a Dark Side of the Ring episode.
Damn man, I never knew this. It makes me think less of jbl. Tank tried to help, good on him at least
Chad unknowingly ribbed himself ....a rare occurence in professional wrestling
Are you saying... That a Dick self ribbed??

He makes me sick these wrestlers continue to kiss that POS Vince McMahon's ass. I suppose it's Stockholm syndrome.

Why? So he could have been "canceled?" Lol what a wad.
@@LumpyAdams i don't think he should be, it's just unfortunate with the times. That's my opinion though not speaking for the original comment
‘Taker admitted he used to be the muscle for a loan shark. Of course he’s going to be a “mafia” style person.
Wealth? Not if Jodi Lynn and Sara have anything to say!

What they did was purposely give you a purposely thought out trick question and on the spot so it's it's even harder to answer

I’m only speaking from experience. There is no difference between the locker room and prison.
Sounds like scene from Full Metal Jacket. Jeez sounds like a great work environment.
Except this is real life…and people like that exist
Lol wtf? He mentioned Orlando Jordan was in the room, so wouldn't he be offended or did the boys completely forget he was openly gay.
