Jay Crawford: We’re here with another episode of First Take, I’m here with my good friends Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith.
Skip Bayless: We’re friends now Stephen A?
Stephen A. Smith: Don’t push it okay Skip?
Stephen sarcastically laughs and Skip gives his sinister grin.
Jay Crawford: Now there’s been a lot of things going on in the world of sports. You have the NBA Finals Game 1 tonight, you have the Kings winning the Stanley Cup, you have Tiger trying to add on to his legacy, and now we are going to enter a topic that doesn’t get a lot of recognition on our show, we are going to talk about professional wrestling.
Stephen A: Talk about rare.
Jay Crawford: We will be discussing professional wrestling legend Frost signing an exclusive contract with World Pro Wrestling. Is this good for WPW in the long haul?
Skip Bayless: I’ll say this, I’ve been following WPW since it’s resurgence and I think they can use all the help they can get at this point.
Stephen A: Wow.
Skip Bayless: Now that’s not a knock on them as an organization at all.
Stephen A: It sure sounds like one from where I’m standing.
Skip Bayless: Look, the WPW has had history, lots and lots of history here from guys like Grendel to guys like PDJ, this place has produced some of the greatest talent in the world.
Stephen A: Somebody has been doing their homework.
Skip glares at Stephen A. Smith.
Skip Bayless: This can only do good things for the WPW simply because the more faces they get from familiar places, the more ratings will increase, sales will increase, and the overall product will become better as a whole. Stephen I think you and I can both agree that he has the star power to take his fanbase to WPW as well, I mean look at all the hype that has been around him already.
Stephen A: That’s true, very true….
Stephen A pauses as if he’s contemplating what he will say next. He doesn’t ponder long as he waves his hand out.
Stephen A: I like Frost, I’ve been following Frost’s career since his days in HWO and followed it in WGWF where he made a name for himself and was in talks for contending for their World Title before his injury, I think this could be good and at the same time it could be bad.
Skip Bayless: Bad? Are you insane?!
Stephen A: Now, unlike you Skip Bayless I’m not going to elevate Frost on a pedestal the same way you elevate Tim Tebow on a daily basis.
Skip Bayless: Or the way you elevate LeBron even though he’s still missing a chip.
Stephen A: Whatever. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted….. The reason that this could be bad for the organization of WPW is because what if he doesn’t even pan out in the long haul? Look, honestly I think Frost is as good as it gets but is he worth the risk.
Skip Bayless: Risk? What risk?
Stephen A: He was sidelined in WGWF from a serious injury and the last time I check he will be competing inside of a professional wrestling ring, is he even cleared to play? Or is he going to become an injury prone superstar?
Skip Bayless: If that’s the only reason-
Stephen A: No, that’s not, let me finish…. The other point I was making was that let’s be honest here, is this really good for business. I mean yes in the long haul perhaps it could be but would you welcome an unknown stranger into one of your most prestigious matches such as the Roy Lee Rumble and have him win it all and be crowned the World Champion all in one night and all in his debut to your company?
Skip Bayless: If that happens then so be it. I don’t see what the big deal is, I mean hey Nathan Lucas is the clear favorite to win this match.
Stephen A: That’s a different story.
Skip Bayless: How?
Stephen A: Unlike Frost, Nathan Lucas has won a few Fed Cups….
Skip Bayless: Fed Cups?!
Skip laughs and Crawford simply smiles while Stephen A doesn’t appear amused.
Skip Bayless: The fed cup doesn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things.
Stephen A: Let me talk. Are you gonna let me talk?!
Skip shakes his head in disbelief while Stephen A continues.
Stephen A: It’s not a doubt in my mind that Frost is a legend in this business, it’s not a doubt in my mind that he deserves to be considered one of the greatest of all time, but when we are talking about a man winning the best the company has to offer in his debut, I think that’s a little bit too much, and I’ll leave it at that.
Jay Crawford: Onto the next question, what are some of the match ups either of you want to see Frost involved in.
Stephen A: There’s no question about it but I would love to see Drifter and Frost go at it in WPW, they had a few small run ins in HWO but nothing since, I would also love to see Frost and Nathan Lucas square off.
Skip Bayless: I can’t believe I’m agreeing with you Stephen A but yes I would like to see those two matches as well, especially since Nathan Lucas and Frost were both in WGWF although neither has ever faced one another before. But I would really like to see Frost and Firebomb go at it, both men have also had history dating back in the HWO that I would love see boil over here in the WPW.
Jay Crawford: Prediction time, who’s gonna win the Roy Lee Rumble this year?
Skip Bayless: As much as I love Frost’s body of work, I have to say I’m going with Nathan Lucas, after all he’s trained by James Raven and being trained under one of the best in the business doesn’t hurt.
Stephen A: That’s the difference between you and I Skip, but it’s okay, I’m going to break down to you why that doesn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things, for one Frost too is a Legend, for two Frost has ten times the experience that Nathan Lucas has, shall I go on? Shall I go on? Skip, you’re making yourself look silly right now okay.
Skip Bayless: So you’re saying that Nathan can’t hold his own against Frost?
Stephen A: I didn’t say that, I said that Nathan doesn’t have the experience that Frost has, he doesn’t have the killer instinct Frost has….
Skip Bayless: Are you kidding me?
Jay Crawford: We have to take commercial break but when we come back, Skip and Stephen A will talk about the NBA Finals and who will win the series.
Stephen A Smith, Skip Bayless, and Jay Crawford all look at the camera as First Take fades to black……
“When I decided to verbally commit to this place I had a lot of things on my mind, seeing former names, winning matches, but one name did stick out and that name was none other name “Legend” Firebomb. You know Firebomb you’ve made it known here and in HWO that you felt that HWO favored superstars, you had a few comments about cats here like James Raven among others stating that it was “bullshit” that you were never given a chance to shine, well you were given a chance to shine but truth be told you are just atrocious, why build a company around someone who isn’t even smarter than a fifth grader? Please Firebomb, for all things right in this world don’t even attempt to answer that question.
I suppose I just may very well be the minority that finds it amusing that a man with an IQ lower than 70 is considered a Hall of Famer and a Legend. There should be better requirements to be labeled legendary, for starters you should be required to learn how to spell the name of the title belt you hold in your possession but I doubt that Firebomb would even pass that test unless he had the help from his son T-Bomb.
Wow, I completely forgot that he was in this match too! How’s it going buddy? Still trying to be a pretend Mix Martial Artist? You failed miserably in Bushido MMA, you failed miserably in other places and from what I heard you’re a sorry excuse for a son perhaps your daddy issues are because Firebomb is an illiterate oaf who still tries to reminisce on the glory days. News flash Firebomb, those days are long gone and any place that had you as the top dog is an embarrassment, if this place was that place than count me out.
I am rather intrigued on how things’ will play out between the two of you. Is this going to be a case of father passing the deplorable torch on to his son or will this be another chance for father to attempt to outshine his son? I can honestly care less which way it turns out for either of you. The end result will ultimately be the same, both of you two bleach blonde buffoon’s tossed over the ropes while I be declared the victor. I’m not sure why I’m wasting my breath when you can’t even fathom what I speak of.
T-Bomb this isn’t personal, I just have a World Title and a Rumble to win, now your father on the other hand it is in fact personal. It’s time for you to pay for your blasphemy and I intend on being the debt collector in this case of ironic circumstances. I’m not just going to humiliate you because you disrespected HWO, I’m going to humiliate you because you disrespected me indirectly and for the longest time I wanted to stick my foot in your ass.
BOMBS AWAY!!!!”
