Let’s face it – every day we are routinely bombarded with questions. When you’re an emerging media company in Nashville, people just want to know what your opinions are on everything. It’s only natural. And, since our duty is to serve the people, well, we have no choice but to be present. That’s the SoBro Way. Also, aren’t mailbags just a barrel of laughs anyway? Welcome to the newest weekly recurring feature up in this bitch: The SoBros Mailbag. As always, use #SoBrosMailbag to hit us up on Twitter.
Question:
Thoughts on Chris Hemsworth playing Hulk Hogan for the Netflix biopic?
— Weston White (@westonwhite) February 21, 2019
Answer:
I love it, Weston. I don’t get what all the uproar is about. I mean, yeah – Hogan’s a controversial figure in wrestling history for a number of reasons. But, he’s a prime biopic candidate and I can totally see Hemsworth as a younger Hulkster. Also, an added bonus – I assume this means we’re going to get to see Hemsworth with a skullet.
Question:
Who’s your favorite pro wrestler as a kid, teen, and now? how have you evolved as a wrestling fan?
— Beta Ray Greg (@BetaRayGreg) February 21, 2019
Answer:
As a kid? Fuckin’ Doink the Clown – not even kidding. I can remember my dad watching wrestling on Sunday mornings, one day in between matches, I see this evil clown doing weird shit and was just completely mystified by it.
As a teen, it was Chris Jericho, who I still consider to be my favorite wrestler of all time. Nowadays, I’m more open to change – I enjoy the product as a whole more than individual wrestlers. It shifts from month to month based on what’s going on. Gun to my head, I’d say A.J. Styles, but I’ve been into Pete Dunne and Rhea Ripley a lot lately. The NXT UK brand has become my favorite at the moment.
I used to be one of these insufferable marks when I was a teenager. I criticized every move WWE made and always thought I knew better than they did. Growing up, you begin to realize how hard it is to put on the production the WWE does and how hard it is on guys to practically live on the road and go out there and destroy their bodies three to five nights a week. So, I’d say I’ve definitely become a lot less critical as a wrestling fan.
Question:
The SoBros get an all inclusive trip anywhere in the world for a week. Where are you going? And do all of you make it back without being arrested?
— WKRN Brent Remadna (@RemadnaWKRN) February 21, 2019
Answer:
Saying “no way” to your second question is the easiest mailbag answer I’ve ever had to give. As for the first part, Cadbury and I have actually been talking about a trip to Belize – he swears it’s perfect for the SoBros. I would throw Ireland and Japan in the mix, too.
Question:
If the SoBros had their own music festival who would you book and what’s it’s name? I hear Fyre is an available name?
— Steven McCash (@MC_Cash75) February 21, 2019
Answer:
Believe it or not, we’ve actually talked about doing this as a “one day” type of goal. I forget exactly how the conversation went, but it ended with us booking the Baha Men, Smash Mouth, and LMFAO. That would make for a wild visual. Instead of ‘Fyre,’ we’re going to call our’s ‘Hawt.’
Question:
Is Chris Hemsworth the right choice to portray Hulk Hogan in a biopic? Or would you rather see someone like Daniel Radcliffe give it a shot?
— Brandon Vick (@SirBrandonV) February 21, 2019
Answer:
Well, see above for the first question. As for Daniel Radcliffe, he can still give it a shot. He doesn’t have to be in this movie. Thanks to social media, he can just be Hulk Hogan on Twitter, and I am definitely all for that.
Question:
Has @SirBrandonV quit doing his rain dance yet?
— Joshua Huffman (@TNYooperJoshuaH) February 21, 2019
Answer:
You cannot stop “Nature Boy” Brandon Vick. You can only hope to contain him.
Question:
How many scoville units is your hottest hot sauce level?
— Dom Oxenham-Morris – Tunes to the bime (@doxom85) February 21, 2019
Answer:
The hottest I’ve gone is habanero, which checks in around 100,000-350,000. I’m not opposed to trying hotter, that stuff just isn’t as readily available. Also, I do value my intestines.
Question:
Why no soccer coverage?
— Craig Shuman (@craigshuman10) February 22, 2019
Answer:
I want it, Craig. I want it on the site BAD – especially given the new Nashville SC news. Thing is, I’m not a big time soccer guy. I get into the World Cup, but that’s about it. Still, I recognize its value as a part of the pulse of our city. If we want to cover Nashville sports thoroughly, gotta have it! Plus, what soccer coverage we have had on the site has been tremendously successful. We get hits from all over the world.
We came pretty close a couple of years ago with an old friend who reached out saying he’d be interested in covering soccer on the world stage for us, but the timing never quite lined up.
It is something I’m actively looking for!
Question:
If you’re a wrestler in the WWE, what’s your walkout song when you walk to the ring?
— Armondo (@mightymondo) February 22, 2019
Answer:
Bromondo, that’s tough, man. Depends on my character, of course. If I’m a big brooding bruiser, I’m picking a song called “A Monument Encased in Ash” by a band called The Showdown. Something heavy and ominous.
But, if I’m going to show a little more of my personality, I’m coming out to “Champagne Showers” by LMFAO.
That’s the second time LMFAO has been mentioned in the mailbag this week. Who would’ve seen that one coming?
Question, from Olivia on Facebook:
If your hand was a drink dispenser- which 5 beverages would dispense from your finger (and thumb) tips?
Answer:
It would be water, coffee, root beer seltzer water from Kroger, Longboard Island Lager, and Bombay Sapphire gin. Actually, I think those might literally be the only five things I drink.
Question, from Tyler on Facebook:
Do you think Zion should sign with Adidas after his Nike exploded last night?
Answer:
Man, how much is Nike sweating that one? If I’m Zion, I’m at least thinking about turning on Nike…..giving ’em the ol’ Shawn Michaels throwing Marty Jannetty through the barber shop window. But, ultimately – it still comes down to money. If Nike wants to reimburse me for that awful occurrence, then yeah, I’ll take a raise! If Adidas wants to pony up, then I’ll sign over there. To quote Vince McMahon, “It’s all about the muh-NAY!”
