Really upsetting that in six seasons of the sopranos Tony never had a conversation with AJ that started “when I was your age, my old man used to take me to the matches, see Bruno Sammartino in a steel cage.”
Carmela: I don’t want you taking him to wrestling, Tony. It’s barbaric.

Tony: C’mon, what’s the worst that could happen?

Carmela: Rosalie Aprile told me about a kid in Michigan who broke his neck doing those stunts in the back yard.

AJ: It’s fake anyway.

Tony: ...fake?
AJ: Yeah, it’s predetermined. It’s not real!

Tony. Not real? So what you want to say to me at the dinner table is that Bruno Sammartino, one of the greatest Italians who ever lived, was a phony world champion?

AJ: Well, no.

Tony: It’s settled then. We’re going.

AJ: Dad!
Paulie: They got this guy, Cold Stone—

Chris: Stone Cold.

Paulie: What?

Chris: It’s Stone Cold.

Paulie: What did I say?

Chris: Cold Stone.

Paulie: Like I’s was sayin’, T, they got this guy, Cold Stone, who beats his boss’ ass.

Chris: I love that.

Tony: Oh, you do?
