Hello, everybody. It's the American Nightmare. Cody Rhodes. Welcome to What Do You Want to Talk About? A Fanatics and WWE Original Production. Today, my guest is a guest we have wanted for a long time. All of us. He is a former Minnesota State Wrestling Champion. He won the 2012 Olympic Trials. He has been an NXT Tag Team Champion, a Raw Tag Team Champion. And he has been on the minds of pretty much every wrestling fan ever. Everybody involved in wrestling, everybody involved in WWE, spanning over multiple locker rooms, everywhere you go, everyone is talking about this guy. And we welcome to the podcast, ladies and gentlemen, Chad Gable. I'm sorry if I'm a little bit rusty. That was great. It's been a minute.
I am excited at the idea that I got to mention you being a Minnesota state wrestling champion and you'd be classified as, as wrestlers go and tell me, correct me. Cause there's, there was other qualifications, but shooter, right? We would say shooter. We would say shooter. What's the difference between a shooter and a hooker? And that's going to sound like a funny question, but there are people in this who know that hooker was a different thing than a shooter, correct?
I mean, my assumption is that the shooter, I am the most real deal of the real deals. Hooker might be someone that knows the game, but a shooter is, you're in trouble, man.
I think we're going to, we're going to phone in a friend here on this, but I think you're on it. Shooter is all encompassing. Yeah. Hooker is lure them in and hook them with something. Some sort of Gerald Briscoe. Sure. Who was probably a shooter, but was a Ben. I feel you, you know, this answer call phone in and a friend. Oh, but did Luthas columns of a hooker? Because in case this went awry, in case this performance, he could rely on his skills as a shooter. For all of our, I have never once mentioned this, but for all of the Cauliflower Alley Club, all the people out there, if you know the answer to that, I was taught it as a young man and forgot because it seemed like it was more important if you were going to be either to be a shooter because you could do it all.
And as a shooter, do you know this? You've been mentioned on this show multiple times.
I've heard it once or twice. I watched the Finn episode. Finn is my guy, one of my guys.
Did he put you on his team?
I was on his team, man.
Happy to hear that. Whenever someone is brought up who has the skills, that's a great, well, your team's going to go undefeated. That also leaves you less to do if you're on that team. Like, oh, he's got them. He's got them. I see you have something special in front of you provided by our friends Wheatley American Vodka, who we love here What do you got? Cody, today we are drinking a chaos theory.
Oh. Yeah. What do you know about it? Main ingredient, of course, Wheatley vodka.
What differences did Chad explain between being a 'shooter' and a 'hooker' in wrestling?
There it is. Tasted a hint of lemonade. Oh, wow. Okay.
Is it good? Cheers to you, man. Cheers. Cheers to you. Thank you for being here. Blue Curacao. Oh, all righty. We will put those ingredients on the screen. Again, Wheatley American Vodka. I have the classic American Mule. Chef's kiss, as always. Hey, so I'm going to cut right to it. I feel like sometimes on this show, we beat around the bush. And I don't want to beat around the bush. Let's not beat around the bush in here.
Let's jump right in, man.
Let's jump right in. There are moments in pro wrestling... As a wrestler, as a fan, as anyone who works for any wrestling company anywhere on earth, there are moments where we all agree on one thing. They are very rare. They are maybe once a year if we're lucky, twice a year if everything is hot. We're talking the purest, the hardcore fans. We're talking the casual fan. We're talking... a designation of fans you don't even know existed. We're talking someone who walked in for the first time and wrestling was happening in the ring. We're talking people who just stream. We're talking people on social. We're talking people in the seats who paid to be there, who buy the merch, every type of fan. El Grande Americano versus El Grande Americano.
