Who were your favorite wrestlers when you were a kid?

0

624.743 - 636.416 O'Shea Jackson Jr.

Loved Rock. Always loved Taker. Taker was really my first favorite because my brother always made me play as him in the game. Like, if we're going to beat people up, you have to be Taker. Because, like, Taker's the big bad.

636.436 - 636.737 Unknown

Yes, I know.

636.757 - 639.765 O'Shea Jackson Jr.

It's hard to take him down. Totally. So give the little brother that one.

639.745 - 640.607 Unknown

That's so cute.

640.627 - 668.308 O'Shea Jackson Jr.

And so I always loved Taker. And then, you know, just the older I got, watching The Rock on the mic, I was like, oh, this is my guy. Yeah. 100%. And I was a very shy kid growing up. And The Rock kind of helped me find my voice because... No one could back him into a corner. He's quick as a whip, and he's always going to get the upper hand in a conversation, in a promo battle. And I love that.

Do you remember when Diana Ross double-tapped Lil' Kim's boobs at the VMAs? Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people? I know what you're thinking.

Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill waxing all about crack in the 80s.

0

925.839 - 937.75 O'Shea Jackson Jr.

To be clear, 84 was big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack all day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.

937.93 - 940.192 Unknown

We also have AIDS on the table right now.

940.212 - 951.863 O'Shea Jackson Jr.

Thank you for finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.

951.903 - 973.258 Unknown

Listen to Look Back at It on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When you start watching wrestling, your brothers are watching wrestling, what did your dad think of it all? I feel like there's always a moment when parents have to ask why you're watching this fake stuff.

973.298 - 978.927 O'Shea Jackson Jr.

Yeah. I mean, yeah. Somebody in my dad's childhood ruined it for him.
