# Ringside Interview Ringside Interview, also known as Wubba Dubba Dubba That True?, is a dub-over format using the Ringside minigame from the 2011 Nintendo rhythm game Rhythm Heaven Fever. Niconico editors started swapping new audio over the reporter-and-wrestler clip in July 2011, and by 2022 a cat version from Twitter artist Rolobi sparked a fresh run of edits. ## Origin Nintendo released Rhythm Heaven Fever on the Wii on July 21, 2011[7]. The first rhythm game of Stage 4, titled Ringside, has a wrestler answering a reporter's questions while flexing and striking poses on the beat[1]. On July 22 and 23, 2011, Niconico users クローバー and かべ少佐 uploaded perfect playthroughs of the stage, and on February 12, 2012, YouTube user Pablo Acevedo re-uploaded a perfect run that passed 3.4 million views over the following decade[3]. The earliest known edit arrived on July 27, 2011, when Niconico user かがり＠じゃがりP posted a Hetalia: Axis Powers version of the clip that reached over 81,000 views[2]. A month later, on August 29, 2011, user えむくろ posted a Ricardo Milos edit that climbed past 750,000 views[5]. - **Platform:** Niconico (source clip) / YouTube (viral spread) - **Creator:** かがり＠じゃがりP (earliest known edit) - **Date:** 2011 ## Overview Ringside Interview, also known as Wubba Dubba Dubba That True?, keeps the Ringside minigame animation fixed and swaps the Japanese dialogue for new audio timed to the wrestler's nods, flexes and poses[3]. The source clip runs about a minute, which gives editors enough beats to fit a short script, a cartoon exchange or a song lyric into the wrestler's reactions[1]. Typical edits pair the visuals with a specific fandom or recognizable scene, from Hetalia characters to The Simpsons' Steamed Hams gag[2]. The humor sits in the sync: the reporter's questions and the wrestler's cocky one-word answers line up with punchlines, lyrics or shouted catchphrases from whatever source the editor picked[4]. Later edits leaned into absurd pairings, including a Ricardo Milos version and a photo-based cat remake[5][6]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Ringside Interview?
