C&B’s Favorite Wrestlers from Back in the Day
14 Jul 2022
CLAY: I believe, regardless of when Trump announces, there is going to be a full-on, Royal Rumble from my old school WWE, WWF…
BUCK: I used to watch Royal Rumble.
CLAY: Oh, Royal Rumble was so much fun.
BUCK: Who was your favorite wrestler from that era, by the way, real quick? I’m just wondering.
CLAY: Oh, that is such a good question. I used to love Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, and I was a big Jake “The Snake” Roberts. I didn’t have a… I loved the British Bulldog.
BUCK: I was gonna, say British Bulldogs.
CLAY: Do you remember the name of British Bulldog’s bulldog?
BUCK: British Bulldogs. I actually liked “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka.
CLAY: He was great.
BUCK: He was great. You know, very athletic.
CLAY: His niece went to college with me at George Washington, and I remember being blown away. I was like, “You know Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka?”
BUCK: I always thought “Ravishing” Rick Rude was a little weird, even as a kid.
CLAY: There’s a lot of those guys that you go back old school, and they seem pretty weird. The Honky Tonk Man was not a normal guy. “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan. By the way, the British Bulldog’s dog. Do you remember the bulldog’s name?
BUCK: No.
CLAY: Matilda.
BUCK: It’s a great name for a bulldog. We’re talking about getting one.
CLAY: You talked about getting a bulldog before, so you want to play a little homage.
BUCK: Clay, you’re stepping into a little bit of a territory here. The fiancee and I agree on everything. We’re trying to find some common ground on which dog breed here. I’m just throwing this out there.
CLAY: What is she going…? What is her argument? A doodle? Is it a doodle?
BUCK: She loves those doodles.
CLAY: Yeah.
BUCK: She loves those doodles, and I’m a bulldog guy, and we’re gonna — and, by the way, the bulldog, the boodle, the bulldog doodle, it looks like something that escaped from a lab that wasn’t supposed to. It’s not a good look.
CLAY: I didn’t even know that existed.
BUCK: Ali said that was just mean. I’m just saying. Oh, wait. But you think a Royal Rumble is coming, so I didn’t mean to interrupt.
CLAY: No. The Royal Rumble is coming in 2023. On this show, we are going to be daily breaking down the battle for whoever the Republican nominee is going to be, and I think there are going to be a lot of people stepping into that ring, and I don’t know that it matters in terms of who the nominee is when they announce because there’s gonna be such a battle coming.
