- Frank The Clown joined In The Weeds to promote his appearance at Warrior Wrestling’s Friday Night Lights event on Friday, June 30th, at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Illinois.
Frank started the conversation by insulting Fightful's Joel Pearl. Joel told Jeremy Lambert that he "might get his wish and he might fight Frank The Clown." Frank said he would not fight just anyone and would say, "Joel is not much of a draw." However, Frank said he would get one of the students to have a “pow wow” with Joel. Jeremy asked if Frank could have KC [Navarro] punch Joel in the face, with Frank replying, “that could potentially be arranged.”
Frank promoted KC Navarro vs Matt Cardona for Warrior Wrestling. Frank said he appreciated Cardona allowing him to main event a GCW show in his hometown of Chicago. Frank mentioned his first singles match, and the last singles match. Frank said Brett Lauderdale was too cheap to clean the ring before his match, and glass was still in the wrestling ring.
Frank says he backed KC Navarro because he is the best-unsigned talent in the independent scene. He says he has everything you would want in a star. Fightful’s Jeremy Lambert would ask Frank why he is not well-liked. He says it's jealousy. Frank said he would like to manage Abadon, Zack Cay, Nyla Rose, Puf, and others.
Frank commented on his entrance landing on the football field from a few years ago at a Warrior Wrestling event; he says he doesn’t know if he can top that entrance but has a few tricks up his sleeve.
Frank said Skeeball is his favorite carnival game and thinks he can take anyone on in a game of it.
Joel would ask Frank about working with David Arquette. Frank said his first-ever match was against Arquette and RJ City in 2018. Frank said the match was a trainwreck and mentioned Arquette pinned him. Frank said he had to team James Ellsworth and it did not go well.
Frank gets asked to say two nice things about Warrior Wrestling. Frank said, “the Carnies that run Warrior Wrestling pay him”. He mentions that he makes good money selling some of his merchandise. Frank ended the interviewing by plugging the showing, saying to watch the “Tribal Clown” instead of the “Tribal Chief” on June 30th for Warrior Wrestling.
Comments
20 minutes before the show seems like very short notice. Is there more to this than Britt "being sick"......also i doubt it because TK seems to love her, but any backstage heat for this?

2023-07-01 13:48:30 +0000 UTCIt's unfortunate that Fight Forever got meh reviews and is getting hate over its glitches when every WWE game has had similar glitches in even their best entries(and they're even shown off in the subreddit with nowhere near as many people saying "oh this is bad" as they are with FF), because it's a damn fun game. Though, if there's one critique I do have, I feel like even on Easy, the AI can get really hard, but I'm unsure if it's cause it was RTE mode where some matches are made to be harder(such as the 3 minute warning with Wight, and the Gauntlet Match against giants, who all seem to stay pinned after you attempt it 3 times with the 3rd time being) or what. Then again, I did a 7 star match with MJF in Lights Out and there were moments where I legit thought I was gonna lose. On Easy difficulty. I chose Easy to not get frustrated. Outside of that, the gameplay keeps me coming back to the point that I've almost 30 hours in the PS5 version and 7 in the Steam version.

2023-07-01 05:01:49 +0000 UTCI admittedly don't understand why people hate him. Isn't he the Brock Lesnar Guy from years ago? Is it that he's(if they're the same guy) dating Noelle Foley? No but seriously, what's so terrible about him that isn't just him existing?
