WITH HILLBILLY JIM..
Hillbilly says he's kicking off the 4th hour of his show that's high up on the ridge in Mudlick & then introduces Dusty on the phone: http://tinyurl.com/22p7wg . Dusty says he's been listening all week long thinking about it, says he's had lots of people including a couple of hogs in & says he's excited about talking to Hillbilly. He tells Hillbilly that he listens to the show all the time, says it's important because it's got old, new, good & whatever because it's the same thing that WWE provides on their 24/7 channel. He says if he had a running mate for the US President it'd be Hillbilly, Hillbilly says that'd be the real "Dream Team" & Dusty says it would be & then says "power, power, too sweet to be sour".Hillbilly says he was mentioning earlier about that he's tired of the "Republi-cans" & "Demo Rats" & we need a new party. He says "The Dream Party"would be amazing, Dusty says all you gotta do is shoot straight, then says Jesse Ventura was the Minneasota governor because he talked like they talked. He says Jesse didn't talk over their head or underneath them or behind them or went to the "Out House" with them & didn't take them anywhere. He says that Jesse said that "this is what's happening here, we're getting screwed on this, I can do this, I can't do that & that's it". He says it has to be plain, simple & as Hillbilly lays it out everytime his show's on the air & that's the way he lays it out.
Dusty says music wise & interviews & it's why he always liked the show. Hillbilly says that Dusty's got a particular great part in his heart, says he's spent some time with him up & down the roads & has always enjoyed him. He says he's always told everyone as Dusty would say: "from Maine to Spain on a choo-choo train". He says it don't matter who you are or where you're at, if you've seen Dusty in the ring you've got your money's worth & some. He says
Dusty was 1 of the best performers in the ring & on the mic of all time. He asked Dusty as to what brought him to that & made him see that he's got a great special gift.
Dusty says he came out of the womb talking trash, Hillbilly goes "WOOOOOOO!" & Dusty says he was talking all the way & double talking & didn't know as to what he was saying yet. He says he grew up in that neighborhood & enviorment in Texas to where you had to fend for yourself. He says sometimes when you can "flim for flam", you had to get it going. He says the bottom line's is what brought him to the dance was the American public. He says it took a guy that didn't look like he was a bodybuilder, someone that had a belly, someone that drank beer & drove a pickup truck. He says they didn't mind going in even with the blacks, didn't mind eating greens & stood up for what he believed in.
Dusty said that's what he did & it brought him to the dance, Hillbilly says Dusty's career is historic & was a 3 time NWA world champ, NWA Georgia heavyweight champ & others that he can't remember. He says Dusty was in the WCW, WWE & Wrestling Observer Halls Of Fame. He says when thinking about some of Dusty's feuds with Abdullah The Butcher, Terry Funk, Kevin Sullivan, Blackjack Mulligan, Nikita Koloff, Harley Race, Superstar Billy Graham, Ray "The Crippler" Stevens & others. He says Dusty's the guy that brought it all out there, says that fans can now see all of that on WWE 24/7 Classics channel On Demand.
Hillbilly asks if this is great, Dusty says with that channel you're getting access to the world's largest wrestling library & says you can go on the internet & find out all about that stuff. He says with this channel it's like getting all the scenes from "Gone With The Wind" & before that & how they hired people. He says this month's cool because it's about Flair, says "Forever Flair" is going on & says Harley Race is on this too. He says it's got the legendary match with Race vs Flair & he himself has had the opportunity to step in the ring with Flair. Hillbilly says he himself has had tag matches with Flair & it was great. He says he's wrestled with Race & you've got a job when wrestling Race.
Hillbilly says with guys like Flair, he's talking about the top guys that's ever stepped into the squared circle. He says Flair can get it done, says there's great matches with Dusty on that channel & Dusty says it's cool. He says he's found stuff on there that he didn't know he had. He says when Hillbilly in Kentucky & go in the "Moonshine Madness" library you walk in, look on the shelf & get a book. He says you'll see a dictionary & inside it says "man", then says when looking at the definition of "man" you'll see Race's picture there & Hillbilly agrees. Hillbilly says Race's a man's man in & out of the ring & is 1 of the toughest guys that he used to say "on God's green Earth".
Hillbilly says fans can call 888-MYWWE247 & can get hook up with the channel & when they do for this month, not only will they see "Forever Flair", but will get a "limited edition" Flair action figure: http://tinyurl.com/5pg9u9 & that's nice. He says that he always said that Flair's a living doll, Dusty says he used to tell himself & says that some people didn't understand this, but says that he himself was so pretty that he should've been a girl. He says if you
don't play with dolls, you might as well give 1 away & you're fed up, you'd get that thing. He plugs the WWE 24/7 toll free number, says it don't get no better unless you're listening to Hillbilly's show.
Hillbilly tells Dusty to hold on & they'll talk some more & says he'll play 1 of Dusty's favorite tunes ["The Midnight Rider"] by 1 of Dusty's favorite bands [The Allman Brothers Band].
Hillbilly says he's coming to you from the lap of luxury that's up on the ridge from station "WHBJ" in downtown Mudlick. He says he's got the man of the hour, who's a guy that can make an audience sizzle if you raise an itty, bitty, little pinky finger & it's Dusty. He tells Dusty that he's glad that he's on the show, Dusty says it's been so much fun with great music & says when he's laying out the Allman Brothers & says it's good. He says it's why Hillbilly's on the air & why he's bringing it to us & it's a part of the world going on & it tells the truth. Hillbilly says he was thinking about the days of them driving up & down the highways & byways nationwide & how important the radio was.
Hillbilly says to hear that music going up & down the road & it was great, Dusty says even though we're "high tech" now there was a Dallas radio station called "The Bill Mack Show" on the 820AM dial. He says he & Dick Murdoch were driving down the road & been in Pennsylvania & Ohio & others, they'd listen to that show at 12:00 o'clock. He says he knows Hillbilly did that too, then mentioned something about at Midnight or 1AM they'd stop to get a
"livevation" & a "dial in the whimpets" would come on & it'd be screaming like a scarlet dog. Hillbilly says Dusty made him think of 1 of the greatest wrestlers of all time when Dusty 1st began & it was a great tag team with Dick Murdoch.
Hillbilly says he loved them, says they were tough outlaws & says all thru Dallas, Texas, Louisiana & says they dominated. Dusty says Race & Murdoch were close friends to him & holds them close to his chest & says everyone knows that he [Murdoch] died. He says there were nights where no 1 was any
better & says most of the nights to where Murdoch can beat anyone at anytime. He says that Murdoch had a way about him, says they tore the highway up & says Murdoch was amazing. He says he talked to him all the time & knows that Murdoch's moved on to wherever he's drinking beer at. Hillbilly says he feels him & knows what he's saying.
Hillbilly says that not only can Dusty & Dick entertain in the small towns thru Texas & Oklahoma, but Dusty can step in the squared circle in Madison Square Garden & can bring the roof down anytime he wanted to. He says he remembers seeing Dusty go to MSG & says the word electricity wouldn't be the word for it & says it was like an Earthquake went thru there when Dusty was in there. He says some of Dusty's tag matches with Andre The Giant people still talk about them. Dusty says it was a cool time, says fans can go back & look & says the bottom line's that WWE 24/7 Classics On Demand, you can see all that stuff.
Dusty says we can talk about it, tell them about it but fans can actually see all of that. He says fans can go back & say "I wonder what happened with Hillbilly & Dusty" & says what fans don't see, is when Hillbilly would take his guitar. He says people won't believe it & says Hillbilly would take his guitar in the locker room. He says sometimes it'd be in the shower room & says it was priceless times where Hillbilly would play tunes & says he'd beg Hillbilly to
sing something. Hillbilly says they'd play Merle Haggard at the drop of the hat, Dusty says when the bell would ring & would tell Billy Graham to wait a little while on his ass whooping because he's busy now [listening to Hillbilly play].
Hillbilly tells Dusty that he's got enough on his mind, again plugs the WWE 24/7 & the toll free number, again plugs the "Forever Flair" segment on there & the limited edition Flair action figure. He says when thinking of wrestling, the 1st guys he thinks about which're the godfathers of it & it's Dusty. He says Dusty brought entertainment to millions of people, says even though Dusty's a bit bashful & don't wanna take credit for it & tells him that he's 1 of the guys that brought entertainment to a level where it is today. He asks Dusty on how he feels about today's superstars in WWE & Dusty feels that they're great.
Dusty says when taking a 20 year old kid that looks like a movie star named Cody Rhodes [his son] where he says Cody's from his own loins & takes this man who's got much talent. He says then when you get a guy like Ted DiBiase Jr. that's got much talent, then put them together & says the future's on the rise. He says you see the HBK's of the future, then says John Cena, Batista & CM Punk to him, says he can go thru them & says they can electrify an
audience. He says what's good about it is if you can see the change in baseball games going down & up & says WWE never does that. He says WWE replenishes the superstars with megastars & universe stars.
Dusty says he's been in buildings in the old days on when you got chills to when it was so loud. He says when walking out to hear a Cena interview, it's good, bad, indifferent, like him or not. He says if you a Batista interview or the gong of Undertaker or hear Edge. Then sprinkle in there Miz, Morrison, Cody Rhodes, DiBiase Jr., Kofi Kingston & on & on. He says in 30 years, the 24/7 channel will have the guys that he mentioned. Hillbilly says Dusty's the man who's 1 of the guys that people have looked up to & is 1 of the legends. He asks Dusty that while growing up in Austin, who were some of his influences not only in wrestling, but in music also.
Dusty says growing up in Austin he grew up with Willie Nelson, says from the time he started traveling on the highways on many nights, it got him thru good, bad & indifferent. He says Willie went with him on his rides & trails from town to town, says that when he was down, up or whatever, there was always a song that Willie would sing that would take him to a different level. He says music to him is like Hank Williams Jr., David Allan Coe & Johnny Paycheck. He says when hearing Paycheck sings "Oh Violin", it's like Paycheck IS the violin & it's a part of him. He says when the bell rings, once you get all the glamour & says DAC said in his song that Hank Williams did.
Dusty says in the song it says "it's a long, hard ride & once you get there & the lights come on you & you put on that instrumatic grin & knows that he's done that, feel bad 1 night". He says you're feeling real bad, you have to go around the corner & see the in-laws & before turning to that corner, put that instrumatic grin on. Hillbilly says for Dusty he'll play a tune ["Old Violin"] of someone that he was just talking about.
Hillbilly says welcome back to the show, again introduces himself & again says he's in the studio in Mudlick. He says he's there amongs the ponds, crickets, racoons, possums & is having a wonderful weekend. He again says he's got 1 of the greatest guys & it's someone that you can't be around without cracking a joke & have fun with & it's Dusty. He tells Dusty that he made the show special, Dusty feels that they may win 1 of them "enemas" or Emmys &
Hillbilly says sometimes when they give out awards, they may get a "reward". Dusty asks if they can imagine sitting on stage & getting an "enema" & Hillbilly says it's on behalf of the little people who couldn't take it.
Hillbilly asks Dusty as to what was his toughest match either with Flair or Harley & Dusty says it was with Terry Funk. He says it still goes on today, says Funk's in his 60's & says when you get Funk on it, he'll cut Dusty like a dog. He says Funk feels that his feud with him will go on forever with them fighting & feuding. He says the feuds that he had with Funk was in a different atmosphere. He says Race was 1 of the toughest man he's been in the ring with & the devil, Kevin Sullivan & calls him a nasty little bastard & says that was serious business with him. Hillbilly does an impression of Funk by saying "Dusty, I'm so tired of you, I just wanna hurt you like a yellow dog".
Dusty says that Funk flew from Amarillo to Tampa to wrestle him in the "Omry", which is the MSG in the south. He says Funk bought a seat, put a headstone next to it & it said "The yellow dog was born on this day & is gonna die on this day" & calls Funk crazy. Hillbilly says Funk's 1 of his favorite
characters, tells Dusty that as a friend it's always a pleasure to be with him & says Dusty's made everyone's life better around them. He says we have much fun with Dusty & says to be around 1 of the original icons & to be a cool cat like him, it's always good. He says Dusty spoke to everyone not just to 1 person, but the common people. He says it didn't matter to him & it was his thing.
Hillbilly says it's why Dusty's the superstar that he's always been & it's why he's in all of the Halls Of Fame. He says Dusty's 1 of the most beloved character of all time, says it's why the 24/7 Classics On Demand is full of Dusty's matches & knows there'll be great ones this month. He again plugs the
toll free number to call to get the channel & see the "Forever Flair". Dusty says if Hillbilly's like him & is bad on looking on the phone & how to find what "MY" means on the numbers & asks if "MY WWE" is 8, 4, 9, 12 [NOTE FROM JEFF:For those interested it's M [6], Y [9], W, [9], W [9], E [3]]. Anyhow Dusty tells Hillbilly that it's something to look at for the next few minutes while the song's are played.
Hillbilly tells Dusty that it's 699, 9, 3 & Dusty tells him that he don't even know. He tells Dusty that he's asking a hillbilly there & says fans can email Hillbilly to tell him what the numbers are. He says 8, 8, 6, 7 & says it's something that he & Dusty are used to saying what it was & tells him to not make it harder on the fans & fool them. Dusty says this is good, says it's such a good deal that you get that [Flair] doll & Hillbilly says you'll get the "big nose" Flair doll. He says it's like being in the dressing room & it's like when they were talking in Kentucky 10 years ago. Dusty says they're getting into the moonshine now, Hillbilly agrees & tells him that he appreciates him being on the show.
Hillbilly tells him that he loves him, hopes to look forward to him & seeing more of him & says he's glad that he's doing good. He says he's glad that Dusty's out there helping the young cats of WWE because his expertise & experience has to be handed down. He says we've got great young men in WWE, says he's glad that they've got guys like Dusty to show them the way. Dusty says it's been a good time being on the moonshine madness by going up the hill & see the steel. He says if you listen to Hillbilly he gets funky like a monkey & Hillbilly says it's exactly what he wants to hear. He tells Dusty he'll let him go with a great song ["The Ride"] by 1 of his favorite cats [David Allan Coe].
