This week’s episode of Talk Is Jericho celebrated the show’s 700th episode by having the stars of Talk’n Shop join the show. Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows and Rocky Romero discussed Talk’n Shop A Mania and various other topics. Here are some highlights:
On re-signing with WWE last year:
Anderson : “Like we’ve said before, we clearly made the wrong decision re-signing with WWE because, it’s nice to get that out there on Talk is Jericho’s platform because that’s just something that ate at us for awhile.”
“We did know, deep inside, we made the wrong decision.”
Gallows: “We had signer’s remorse, we said that from the get-go. I mean, but let’s shift to the positive though, and look at what’s going on outside of WWE.”
Gallows, as Sex Ferguson, then announced that Talk’n Shop A Mania 2 will happen on November 13 at 10:00 P.M.:
Gallows: “Friday, November 13, Talk’n Shop A Mania 2, I’m announcing it live right here on Talk’n Shop via Talk Is Jericho. I’m coming for [Chad] Too Bad, it ain’t gonna be an Eye For an Eye, it’s gonna be a Ball for a Ball Match. ”
On Sex Ferguson:
Anderson: “The first time we ever did it, he started doing that, and I remember going, ‘Why is he doing the voice?’ It’s great, I didn’t understand it yet. And then they kinda explained he’s an old school guy. Okay, he did it again, I didn’t get it. He did it again and I didn’t get it, and then obviously it became funny because it is funny once you understand it. But you have to really know the background of this son of a b—-, and it’s not Gallows, it’s Sex Ferguson. You gotta understand him, but you’ve also got to understand Sex Ferguson because Sex Ferguson actually is Gallows, that’s the problem.”
On Talk’n Shop A Mania:
Anderson: “We didn’t want to do it at all, and Gallows, maybe when we got canned, right away, Gallows was on us immediately for this pay-per-view in his backyard, which I thought was insane. But you gotta understand, Gallows is insane.”
Romero: “On paper, it was a terrible idea”
Gallows: “How many guys do you see get let go or leave somewhere or do whatever, and they get bitter, and they get mad, and they say some bulls—, and then it goes away? What better way to f—– come back at something like that than to spoof it, parody it, and make f—— six figures off of it? I think we’re g——— geniuses for it.”
On working on an animated series:
Romero: “We’re working on an animated series, it’s gonna debut on Instagram. It’s called The Gimmicks,. If it’s the first time you’ve ever heard about it, it’s actually phenomenal. We’re working with an amazing team, they’re called Toonstar, it’s an amazing studio out in LA, and basically we’re doing South Park meets wrestling. It’s insanity, all the insanity from Talk’n Shop A Mania, we’re bringing it to you in an animation, as a cartoon. It’s unfiltered, it’s raw, it’s real, and it’s pretty crazy.”
