I'm very excited about it. I mean, well, I don't discuss finances, but it's acceptable. And I'll be doing four a year.
I'm back. And for me, it's concluding a career that probably never should have finished. Right. And maybe now there'll be closure. Yeah. Jesse can broadcast till he dies and then they can have my WWE funeral.
Wrestling changed then from becoming... a live spectator sport drawing the money. Territorial live. The big money then became television. Like it is in all sports. I remember when I broadcast football for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I did two years of Buccaneer football down in Tampa. And I remember that Hugh Culverhouse paid off. He was the owner of the Bucs.
He paid all his bills, including all the players, everything with his TV contract. So that people in the seats, that was all his profit. All the people that sold out Tampa Stadium every week to see the Bucs play, that was pure Hughes money. Because the TV contract paid for all the rest.
We're still part of the two-party dictatorship. I like to steal that term from my friend Ralph Nader. Ralph used that, the two-party dictatorship, because that's what it is. It's a two-party dictatorship. The only problem, you want to know where I'm at? It's simple. It's real simple. I took an oath over 50 years ago. And I took this oath before I married my wife.
And this summer, my wife and I are going to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.
Well, I'd like to proudly say, name me any other couple in wrestling who can now say they're going to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Well, but I took this oath before I took an oath to her. And I honor my oaths. Obviously to her for 50 years now. And the oath I took before that was the oath to the Constitution of the United States of America. I took an oath to that Constitution.
And unfortunately, January 6th, in my opinion, and I don't give a shit what anyone else says, I watched it. Our Constitution was attacked and violated, and there was an attempted coup d'etat, and the people that did it, in my opinion, committed treason, and they should have been convicted for their treasonous activity of overrunning our Capitol and carrying a Confederate flag.
through my capital of the United States of America, they carried a Confederate flag, the Republicans, and they have not apologized for it, not one of them, and they still today have not apologized for it. And what did they do? They didn't get convicted for it, so they rallied up and they now have taken the power and the control.
So as far as I'm concerned, this country doesn't have a constitution anymore because the people in charge don't care about a constitution. They violated it already, and they'll violate it again as soon as they need to.
Well, please correct me if I'm wrong. I didn't say you were wrong. No, I'm just saying that. And people may say, I've sure got a narrow... Yeah, I do. Because I took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and I failed. And I don't like to fail. And let's remember something. I believe it was Ben Franklin said to us, we've given you a republic if you can keep it.
Well, I believe we lost it this year.
Well, what you got today is just a sample. I can't wait.
