0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, one of the things I wanted to to

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 4>ask the wrestlers about when they get in here from

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 4>the WBE it's otis.

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Chad Gable and there's a third who else?

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Jon Evan?

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, right, that's right.

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 4>When we used to have mister Perfect come in and

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 4>brock listener, mister Perfect would not break character. He us

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 4>mister Perfect on the air, you know. But I get

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 4>the idea these days, that's kind of not the thing, right.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 5>No, it's it's really not as much anymore because when

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 5>I was growing up, when we were all growing up,

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 5>it was very much still when wrestlers were on TV,

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 5>they'd ask them, Hey about this and that, and they

0:00:58.240 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 5>be like, no, I actually beat that guy in a

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 5>real fight. You know, they act how they act on TV,

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 5>but now it's a totally different ballgame. And I don't

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 5>even think kids grow up thinking that it's not scripted.

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 5>I think kids are well aware of it now and

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 5>they sort of play on the fact that people know about.

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 4>It, which is fine, right because like I know Kurby,

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 4>Game of Thrones, I know those are scripted. I love them,

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean? Right, I don't know, maybe

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 4>maybe that's a stretch, but you get my point.

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Like that, wouldn't it.

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 6>Be better if when they promote wrestling on Sports Center,

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 6>instead of acting like it's not fake, if they just

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 6>had like Jake the Snake, you know, stay in character, yeah,

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 6>and then act like he's going to drop a python

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 6>on some dude on Saturday Night for Summer Slam and

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 6>Cocoa Beware better Beware.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, I have a million dollar idea. I hate

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>to give it away on air, but I'm going to

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>do it. Jake the Snake from State Farm.

0:01:55.640 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Brilliant, I mean, yeah, drops his python on one me.

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, an old school wrestler, that's uh, you know, promoting

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 6>a new product, a modern day product.

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>That's a good question. A lot of people asking you.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 7>They are let me see here. How about mister perfect clean?

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I waited perfect clean.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 6>He's trying to do mister clean. How about just put

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:28.519
<v Speaker 6>the word perfect in?

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>How about let's see here, how about sergeant special case laughter.

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:43.279
<v Speaker 1>You're fascinating.

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>That's that's very nice of you.

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, man. That's the kindest thing you've ever said

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:57.399
<v Speaker 1>about me. It was unbelievably condescending. I can tell you. Yeah, sergeants,

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>special case, slaughter, those are all words. Yeah, you put

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>them all together. That's something, man, you did something.

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.679
<v Speaker 4>Otis is from de Lewis. As we mentioned, he'll be

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.519
<v Speaker 4>here in a moment. Born December twenty first, nineteen ninety one.

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 4>Grew up in Superior Serbian descent. Amateur wrestling career. I

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 4>won the H two eighty five pound w i AA

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 4>state championship as a high school wrestler.

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>And then you got Gable.

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 4>It was actually Charles Betts Chad Gable born in Minneapolis.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Bets and quotes dad, Wow, it's right, really.

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>That's was a Minnesota high school state champion himself. That's

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>a huge bit.

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Actually, yes, that's right. Interesting, interesting, that's cool man, Yeah, man.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it is interesting. A lot of some of these

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 5>guys have amateur wrestling background. Some of these guys have

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, did the independent professional wrestling background. And then

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 5>there's other people like Tiffany Stratton from Prior Lake that

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 5>she grew up a gymnast. Did you talk to her

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 5>the did they?

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I knew you were going to. How'd that go?

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 5>It was awesome. She's great, man, She's a lot of fun.

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 5>And it's just it's a very interesting thing. Strategy that

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 5>WW has taken on over the last several years is

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 5>sometimes they just see someone that is an athlete in

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 5>a totally different discipline and they go, you look like

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 5>you can be a wrestler. We're going to bank on

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 5>our teachers to be able to teach you wrestling, but

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 5>you have the look and we think that you can

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 5>be successful. And it's worked, I mean overwhelmingly so. I

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 5>mean Roman rainslow top guy was a football player. I

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 5>mean he's the Rock's cousin also, So.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 6>That's definitely changed over the years though, because you guys

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 6>remember like when we were growing up, like the wrestler earthquake,

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 6>they found him at a Blockbuster video.

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah they did. Yeah, earthquake wailed.

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 6>It looked like Earthquake had never done anything. It just

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 6>looked like, Hey, that guy's gigantic. Do you want to

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 6>put on a speedo and throw some dudes around? And

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 6>he was like, I got nothing else to do. Yeah,

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 6>that sounds a great eight. Think about this earthquakes finishing move.

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 6>Think about this was he would sit on you, man,

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 6>that would be it. Yeah, he would sit on you

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 6>and then that would crush you and you had to

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 6>tap out.

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Do you know what his real name or when

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>he died?

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Pretty early time ago.

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Did he die in the nineties? He died in six

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>at forty two.

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a big dude, man.

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Six seven? Didn't he four seven, four sixty seven?

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Didn't he do UFC?

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 4>At one point for a minute in early days of UFC?

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 2>Did he not? Five people? Maybe I'm wrong.

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 4>I could be thinking of some baths, but like Javon Evans,

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 4>who's also coming in is uh, I don't even think See.

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 4>He attended the College Prep and Leadership Academy in Jamestown,

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 4>played basketball and graduated in twenty twenty two. Didn't wrestle,

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.679
<v Speaker 4>you know, Yeah, he's a basketball player and he's.

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's six five, made his way right independent circuit

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 5>and he is a flyer man. That dude can do

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.599
<v Speaker 5>a lot of Really, he's one of the most athletic

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.280
<v Speaker 5>dudes I've ever seen in ww R.

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Modern Day Earthquake, I have not ever seen it in person.

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Big time wrestling really never one.

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>So much fun, man, it really is.

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 5>Even if you don't watch wrestling every week, it is

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 5>so much fun to watch in person.

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Otis is five ten three fifteen. According to his statsu.

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 5>Here earthquake was a sumo wrestler. Yeah, a legit wrestler

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 5>at one point is uh, the end of life is

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 5>really sad? Yeah, bladder cancer.

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 4>I think the only person who was end of life

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 4>was not sad was because she was so happy.

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she couldn't wait. She was hoping earthquake would sit

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>on her. Yeah wow, good for her. Mess it. Oh

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>not Dwight, I like what I like?

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 6>I have to assume that would have killed as well, right,

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 6>I mean yeah, yeah, it would have been sizable.

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that would have crushed hers. Yeah.

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 6>She looked like she weighed about twenty pounds, so that

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 6>would have killed her as well. That's oh, Dwight, this

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 6>is the news.

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.560

<v Speaker 4>with this. I'm so sick of it. Can I get

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 4>in your canoe and get me out of here? Or

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 4>you're like, son of a bitch, how do I get home?

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>What if they call that thing? Is it air writing?

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Like where a Wicked Witch style?

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.440

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 6>please go home.

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 1>This is dangerous.

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine one of those planes? It just carries

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a banner behind it. Strikes a banner behind it with

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>the advertisement.

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 4>Officials say clearing visitors could take about one week. Because

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 4>the area includes more than two thousand campsites along one

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 4>hundred and fifty miles of the Canadian border. The Force

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 4>Service doesn't even know how many people remain there, but

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 4>float planes could be used to if visitors face imminent threat.

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 4>More than a dozen fires ended around the Superior National

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 4>Force have grown amid hot in right conditions.

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I saw one.

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 4>Satellite view last night that showed all the fires and

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 4>it's just, I mean, disheartening.

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Examly where I can think of. It's just terrible.

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>That sucks.

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.000

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 4>drawing came and went with no grand prize winner. So

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 4>the next drawing on Friday could be worth six hundred

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:09.319
<v Speaker 4>and seventy two million dollars.

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 6>Way too much for Moss and Marnie, Way too much.

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 6>That makes them sick to their stomachs, way too much.

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 6>They want to quiet, like five mil give me all

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 6>the cash, Give it to me, man, you give it

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 6>to me. I'll spread it around. I'll be a philanthropic.

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 6>I'll be generous, but I want to control it.

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>If I win the lottery, I'll be spreading something around.

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.920

<v Speaker 2>a note of sadness?

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.079

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.319
<v Speaker 6>yesterday Chad Abbot told us to stop talking about Las

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 6>Vegas and construction projects in Las Vegas and the love

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 6>of Las Vegas that we have. And I think Sauce

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 6>is down on it now he said that almost.

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 1>He hates me. Well he does, yeah, he does.

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 6>You know what Abbot would love though, if he would

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 6>just go to Las Vegas circa.

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:45.599

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 6>It's downtown, right, So if you are if you start

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's great.

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I liked her. She seemed casual.

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:29.119
<v Speaker 1>She seemed like she could keep a secret. Wow, she's casual.

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Just call her? Aregug run out of compliments for somebody's casual?

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I think, Uh, I think the wrestlers are here.

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Did they text you that?

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.639

<v Speaker 4>Okay, so you went to you went to Northern Michigan University.

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.800
<v Speaker 4>But did you went all through your high school years?

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:31.879
<v Speaker 8>Here?

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.639
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in Saint Michael, and we were just

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 2>talking about that. Born and raised man. I lived in Rogers, Oh,

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 2>got up the road.

0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and let me tell you Saint Michael, I've lived

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 4>there for two years. I lived in Maple Grove for

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 4>thirty years before that Saint Michael's a different place now

0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 4>from where you grew up, and it's incredibly.

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Just blew up, man.

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 8>And so I moved away for a little bit, and

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:51.919
<v Speaker 8>then we moved back in like twenty sixteen, and I

0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 8>was blown away by how much it grew then. But

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.679
<v Speaker 8>then even in the coming years after that three or

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 8>four years, it's like, how much it doesn't stop growing.

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 8>I gotta be one of the fastest growing cities.

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 2>It has to be that whole area out there. Well,

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 2>welcome back. And so where where do you call home now?

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Plymouth? Welcome aboard?

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.159
<v Speaker 9>Hell yeah, yeah, man.

0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:13.919
<v Speaker 8>It's like everyone I talked to says, hey, I'm from

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:14.520
<v Speaker 8>Plymouth too.

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Everybody lives in Plymouth.

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.400
<v Speaker 6>Now, yeah, Sa Sauce recently moved to Plymouth.

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 1>He's one of us as well.

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever listened to The Stupid Show before?

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I have? Oh?

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Good, yes, that that's always our loaded question.

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:26.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 4>So you when you you won the state championship then

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 4>Fort Saint Michael, Yes, wow, Man.

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.800
<v Speaker 8>St m a proud, proud wrestling heritage there, and uh

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.439
<v Speaker 8>won the state and individual team and individual state titles

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:42.120
<v Speaker 8>my senior year.

0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.160
<v Speaker 2>So it was pretty special, pretty awesome. Long time ago.

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 6>Wow, so this is probably a dumb question that you

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 6>get all the time. But all right, so you're a

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 6>you're a high school wrestler, you're a successful high school wrestler.

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 1>When does when does this dream start?

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.320
<v Speaker 6>Was it when you were a kid or when it

0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 6>got to be like, all right, now I need a profession?

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 1>How do I turn this into a career? Yeah?

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 6>When did this click for you?

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:07.120
<v Speaker 8>The wild part is I wanted to be a pro

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 8>wrestler for WWE or WCW back then when I was

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 8>a fan, long before, like I ever thought about being

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.439
<v Speaker 8>in the Olympics, long before I ever thought of any

0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 8>of that stuff. Like pro wrestling was my first dream

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 8>when I was a kid five six years old. But

0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 8>I was always considered like one of those guys who

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 8>might be a little too undersized for it, especially back

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.160
<v Speaker 8>in the nineties when guys.

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Were a lot bigger than our now. Yeah, but you.

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:37.359
<v Speaker 8>Know, the business kind of turned towards like a lot

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 8>more realism and style and stuff, and they were looking

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 8>for guys with legitimate backgrounds around the time that I

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 8>finished up in the Olympics. So the timing really worked

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.159
<v Speaker 8>out in my favor in that aspect, and I just

0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:54.399
<v Speaker 8>parlayed the Olympic thing into a WWE trial. They had

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:57.400
<v Speaker 8>some scouts there at the Olympics. They were at one

0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.439
<v Speaker 8>of our practices and the Olympics in twenty twelve London,

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.639
<v Speaker 8>and yeah, man stars just aligned for me.

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel very lucky.

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 4>So you did obviously in the Olympics. That's Greco Roman

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 4>style wrestling, right, correct? How much different is that from

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 4>high school wrestling? Excuse my ignorance, but I wrestled high

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 4>school as well. I'm not sure what the difference is.

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.479
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so in Greco Roman you are not allowed to

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 8>touch the legs or use your legs for any offensive

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 8>attacks or so, it's all think of it like, it's

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 8>all throws, upper body throws.

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a very exciting style.

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 8>It's like I consider it the classic style, the greatest style,

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:35.919
<v Speaker 8>the Greek, the Roman style, right yeah, all upper body grappling, throwing,

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 8>dropping guys on their heads.

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:38.119
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 2>The higher up that you can drop a guy and

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:42.360
<v Speaker 2>throw a guy, the more points you're going to get.

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 2>So it's pretty sweet, and well.

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>How much of this did you need for your career?

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 6>Like, obviously you're a technical guy, you understand all of that,

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 6>but there's also, like you said, there's just some monsters

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 6>that are just athletes that maybe didn't have a massive

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 6>wrestling background.

0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 1>So what percentage of your career is on your technique?

0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 1>A lot is. I draw a lot.

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 8>Of my offense now from the stuff I did in GRECO,

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.919
<v Speaker 8>and fortunately, like through the trial process and just learning

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 8>the skills that you need to be a pro wrestler,

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 8>A lot of that is transferable from amateur wrestling. Like

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 8>the body awareness and just general athleticism served me very

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.719
<v Speaker 8>well when I transferred to WWE. The things that I

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:28.880
<v Speaker 8>struggled with initially were, you know, speaking and our promo

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.480
<v Speaker 8>ability and talking and character and like letting yourself be

0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:35.880
<v Speaker 8>more vulnerable than you're used to because in amateur wrestling,

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:38.639
<v Speaker 8>it's like your stoneface and it's like it's all competition,

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:42.399
<v Speaker 8>you know, But in if you do that in WWE,

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.239
<v Speaker 8>I mean, you're not going to last very long if

0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:45.399
<v Speaker 8>you're just this boring guy.

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't show any emotion.

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 8>So breaking through that wall took a while and it

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 8>was very uncomfortable, but we got there.

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean you have to if you're going to make

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:54.240
<v Speaker 2>it in wrestling.

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 4>So Max, you're the wrestling expert on the show, and

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 4>I know you're about to take Chad and Otis define

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:01.680
<v Speaker 4>when they get here as well into the other studio

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:01.879
<v Speaker 4>and do it.

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no, Otis is coming, Yes he is. Oh, you

0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:06.160
<v Speaker 1>guys are in trouble. He's actually looking for.

0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Right Okay, Oh it's Max not over there right now.

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 6>I think he's talking whoever else is on their.

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Way over Okay, got yeah, because they're all going to

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 2>come in as well.

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 4>But you're going to be and I don't think you

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:20.399
<v Speaker 4>have but at us Bank Stadium, So it's not just

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:22.679
<v Speaker 4>that you're wrestling in your hometown, in your home area,

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.159
<v Speaker 4>but at us Bank Stadium. That's you've been doing it.

0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 4>But you've done a lot of huge things. That's got

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 4>to be something you just can't.

0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Believe, right, It's it's unbelievable.

0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 8>And as of this Monday, I've just secured my spot

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 8>in an intercontinental title match.

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:37.400
<v Speaker 1>So sweet. Yeah.

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 8>I have not won a singles title in WWE yet.

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.399
<v Speaker 8>I've been with the company for thirteen years. It's a

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:45.879
<v Speaker 8>huge goal of mine. It has been for a long time,

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.520
<v Speaker 8>and to now get that opportunity to do that in

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 8>front of my hometown crowd, is just unreal the way

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:55.720
<v Speaker 8>that this situation.

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Kind of worked out and came to fruition.

0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:59.760
<v Speaker 8>It's another one of those things where the stars just aligned.

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:02.159
<v Speaker 8>So I'm going to bring my best that night and

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:05.439
<v Speaker 8>hopefully achieve this goal that's been on my back for

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 8>a long long time.

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 1>How'd you come up with your ring name? So where'd

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you get the last name from? Yeah?

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.920
<v Speaker 8>Dan Gable is one of the most famous, maybe the

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 8>most famous American amateur wrestler of all time. And so

0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 8>we go through this process down in what we call

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 8>developmental in NXT, where you select submit a list of

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:27.199
<v Speaker 8>names basically that you have ideas for yourself. And I

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.680
<v Speaker 8>submitted a list of I mean, it must have been

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 8>forty just awful, god aful. I wish I had the list.

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 8>They're embarrassing what they were. And they were just like, no,

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 8>we're not using any of these. And then they basically said,

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.639
<v Speaker 8>you've got this background. You went to the Olympics. She

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 8>had Gable and the second I heard it, I was like,

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.680
<v Speaker 8>that's it. And the coolest part is like I've met

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 8>with Dan Gable multiple times since then, and he's a

0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 8>big supporter of WWE of Wrestling. He's got like nieces

0:24:56.119 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 8>and nephews that are huge fans, grandkids, and he basically

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 8>gave me his blessing, you know, to use his name.

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Which was one of the coolest things.

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.719
<v Speaker 6>That's sweet when you were talking about growing up watching

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:10.399
<v Speaker 6>WWF at the time or WCW right, like the characters

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 6>all had like a bit right, like the million Dollar

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 6>Man through money in people's mouth, or Jake the Snake

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 6>like we mentioned earlier, Hacksaw would break a two by

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 6>four over your face, or coach everywhere was the birdman

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 6>and head. Now it seems like that's not a thing.

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 6>You don't have to have like a really cheesy gimmick.

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 6>You just have to have personality, right, So when you

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:32.639
<v Speaker 6>were cultivating that personality, what did they tell you in

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 6>terms of things that you were supposed to try to

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:35.439
<v Speaker 6>grow and find?

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.280
<v Speaker 1>So you're kind of on your own for that.

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 8>It's kind of like discovering yourself, you know, or what

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:43.879
<v Speaker 8>it is about you that that resonates with people.

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 1>And when people ask.

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:47.239
<v Speaker 8>Me about that, I say, well, think about who you

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 8>are when you're around the people that can like put

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 8>up with you, you know, the people that your people,

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 8>you know, your friends, your family, you're the person, you're

0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:00.080
<v Speaker 8>the most loose around that you allow yourself to be

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:02.960
<v Speaker 8>vulnerable with. You have to allow that to transfer to

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:05.639
<v Speaker 8>your character because there's a reason they can put up

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:07.960
<v Speaker 8>with you. There's a reason that like, hey, I can

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 8>hang out, I can deal with this guy for a while.

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.680
<v Speaker 8>You know, figure out those qualities about yourself and then

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 8>let that come out through your character. And some people

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:19.840
<v Speaker 8>that's being funny. Some people that's just being a leader

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 8>or whatever it is about you. You know, but you

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 8>have to do some of that like inside soul searching

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:28.439
<v Speaker 8>and say what makes me, you know, what makes me

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.359
<v Speaker 8>connect with people, and then use that to connect with

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 8>our millions and millions of fans.

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 4>Well that's fine again, that's Chad Gable And don't forget

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:38.879
<v Speaker 4>SummerSlam coming to US Bank Stadium August first and second

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:41.440
<v Speaker 4>and before the first bell rings. By the way, WWE

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:43.760

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:46.920

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:09.800
<v Speaker 4>stuff because as we all know, Chad teachers are woefully underpaid.

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.879
<v Speaker 8>Yes, yes, some of my teachers growing up had the

0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 8>biggest impact on me. Taught me things that still served

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 8>me to this day. So yes, I'm going down and

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:21.560
<v Speaker 8>support that today. If you've got the time, it's gonna

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 8>be a great event.

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:25.800
<v Speaker 4>So lots going on there again, that is Mnsports and

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:29.399
<v Speaker 4>Events dot org, slash donate and August first and second,

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 4>US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, two events, two days at US

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Bank Stadium. I mean the the this is such a

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 4>wrestling area and this is such a wrestling town. I'm

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:42.120
<v Speaker 4>sure if I would guess both of Mosellau, would you agree.

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:46.199
<v Speaker 8>The thing about Minneapolis specifically is we have such a

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:48.639
<v Speaker 8>history here when it comes to pro wrestling. And like

0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:52.640
<v Speaker 8>most most people you know associate Hulk Hogan with pro

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 8>wrestling in general, right, he came through here as like

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:58.160
<v Speaker 8>the Road Warriors, you know, Kurt Hennig and Rick Ruts

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 8>and classic names you know from a to the history

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 8>here is incredible. So to be a part of that

0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 8>now that legacy is awesome. But to have an event

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 8>like this, which you know, after WrestleMania, this would be

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:14.040
<v Speaker 8>considered our biggest event. We do so big now that

0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:15.919
<v Speaker 8>you mentioned, we have to do it over two days

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 8>because to kramool on one day is just too much.

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:20.879
<v Speaker 8>So to be able to host that here in a

0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 8>place with such just storied history is awesome.

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Man. I feel so fortunate that I get to be

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 2>on the show.

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:28.120
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be great.

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 7>Let me ask you this question, and sorry if this

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:32.919
<v Speaker 7>was asked, but how do you get discovered in the

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:33.920
<v Speaker 7>world of wrestling?

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:36.159
<v Speaker 7>I know, like you were saying earlier about how like

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 7>you have some of the technique, you got to be

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 7>able to eat. It's personality based and all that. But like,

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 7>is there like scouts like there are for other sports?

0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Are there scouts in wrestling?

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:51.440
<v Speaker 8>So we do tryouts right like three four times a year,

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 8>and they'll pick them in very specific spots and they'll

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:58.640
<v Speaker 8>invite people, so they'll be a tryout here in Minneapolis

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:00.880
<v Speaker 8>right SummerSlam weekend because it's one of our big events.

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 8>So they've got eyes on different sports and amateur sports different,

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 8>and they'll invite people that they see that seem attractive

0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 8>to them. They may have qualities that already stand out

0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 8>to them that they'll invite. Then we also invite people

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 8>from like independent wrestling organizations, smaller promotions around the country

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 8>that have made a name for themselves that we want

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 8>to give a shot too. So there's no definitive like path.

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 8>You know, you never really know. Sometimes you get a

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 8>call and it's like, hey, you want to be in

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 8>a child that's like the dream call that a lot

0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 8>of people get. And some people show up to our

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 8>shows and they're what we call extras and they may

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 8>be used in the background of a shot, or they

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 8>may be used in a segment. Show up enough times

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 8>as an extra and do really well, eventually maybe you

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 8>land yourself a tryout. So there's all these different little paths.

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 8>There's no real one route to get there. But yeah, man,

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 8>it's it's sometimes you just get lucky.

0:29:57.760 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 2>How many shows are you on a year?

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 8>We are year round. We don't take breaks, so I'm

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:07.120
<v Speaker 8>on Monday nights and then we do not as many

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 8>live events. We call them live events. They're the untelevised

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 8>shows on the weekend. We don't do as many of

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 8>those as we used to, but we still do them.

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 8>For example, last week and I did Saturday Sunday in

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 8>New Mexico and then Monday was in Dallas, so three

0:30:22.120 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 8>we wrestle all the time.

0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 2>We do a lot of these, like overseas.

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 8>We're overseas more than ever now, Like I don't It

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 8>was hardly home in June because we were just I

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 8>was in Paris, and then I was in Italy, and

0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 8>then I was in the UK and London and Wales

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:37.360
<v Speaker 8>and all over, and then it's like you come home

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 8>for a day, wash your stuff, repack your bag, and

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 8>then you fly out and you're gone again. In June,

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:47.440
<v Speaker 8>actually I went flew home from a show in Italy

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 8>and I was on the connecting flight in Paris and

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:52.719
<v Speaker 8>I got a call that said, hey, actually you're going

0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:55.240
<v Speaker 8>to be on the show Friday again as well. And

0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:59.560
<v Speaker 8>I literally flew home, landed and got back on the

0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 8>flight go back to Italy, and I saw the same

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 8>the same UH crew on the flight and they saw

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:08.880
<v Speaker 8>me get back on and their faces were like, what

0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 8>what are you doing?

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I think I was in the same seat, you know,

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 2>going back over It was it was pretty crazy, So we.

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 10>What a waste of time. That's a lot of flying. Man,

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 10>you're going the wrong ways. You're going the wrong way,

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 10>You're that's a lot of shows a year. But did

0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 10>you ever get nervous or are you still in that

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 10>zone now at this point in your career where you're like, I've.

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Done this enough where no, I still get the butterflies. Yeah,

0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 1>every time.

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I won't say every time. I'd be lying if I

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 2>said every time.

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.560
<v Speaker 1>But like like the.

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 8>Live events for example, that I just talked to or

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 8>talked about where they're untelevised, I do not get butterflies

0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 8>for those because those are just fun.

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Man, You're just wrestling, and.

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 8>Uh, you know, with our televised shows, we have a

0:31:48.520 --> 0:31:50.520
<v Speaker 8>lot more things to worry about as far as like

0:31:50.560 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 8>we have times to hit and we have like like

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:55.000
<v Speaker 8>it's a production and it's like a TV show, so

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:56.880
<v Speaker 8>you've got a job to do there, like a lot

0:31:56.880 --> 0:31:59.120
<v Speaker 8>of stuff to cover. With the live events, it's kind

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:02.280
<v Speaker 8>of you know, it's free ray and you're just having fun.

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 8>You're just wrestling. You're interacting with the crowd a lot

0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 8>more than you would be. But the butterflies, like I'll have.

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Them here for sure.

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 8>Man at SummerSlam, on the big shows, WrestleMania, I always

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 8>get them. There's just moments like that that you when

0:32:16.560 --> 0:32:18.480
<v Speaker 8>you dream about it. You dreamt about it when you

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:21.520
<v Speaker 8>were a little kid. So when those things come to fruition,

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:24.120
<v Speaker 8>you feel like a little kid again. You get those nerves,

0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:27.000
<v Speaker 8>you get that kind of uneasiness. But that's the stuff

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 8>that I think makes you perform. Your absolute best is

0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 8>when you get that little bit of a little bit

0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:33.040
<v Speaker 8>of anxiety.

0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 1>You know when you're going out, you need that.

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:36.120

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 5>Gable, You just mentioned all the travel you guys are doing,

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 5>and WW is more international than ever. Do you have

0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:02.600
<v Speaker 5>like a particular that you like to wrestle internationally the most?

0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Because those crowds are they just bring a whole different

0:33:05.080 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 5>level when you're watching it on TV.

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine being in that atmosphere, right.

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:13.120
<v Speaker 8>So I love going on our European tours because I

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:16.080
<v Speaker 8>love Europe. And when we travel over there, we kind

0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 8>of like we get busted around instead of driving ourselves

0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:21.280
<v Speaker 8>or flying. It's like the coolest thing.

0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:21.479
<v Speaker 2>Man.

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 8>It's like you're part of like a rock and roll band,

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:26.800
<v Speaker 8>you know. On tour you're just like it's late night

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:29.440
<v Speaker 8>drives and you're hanging out the crowds. Like you said,

0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:32.240
<v Speaker 8>to your point, they're insane. The UK crowds are unbelievable.

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:36.000
<v Speaker 8>They always great. One of my first early tours I

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 8>ever did in twenty sixteen was in the UK and

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:41.160
<v Speaker 8>there was a show in Blackpool. It's this small little

0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 8>like carnival town right on the water, and we did

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 8>a show at this little palace. It was this intimate,

0:33:46.160 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 8>little venue. It was so cool, and I remember they

0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 8>did like this soccer chant then put my name to it,

0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 8>Gable and the way they chanted it, I don't know

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 8>the chant. I didn't get it because I don't watch soccer,

0:33:55.560 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 8>you know, but like they get it. It's like their thing,

0:33:57.880 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 8>and they put my name to it, and they did

0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 8>it for the first like eight or nine minutes of

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 8>the match, and so I just danced like I was

0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 8>in there dancing that we're trying to figure it out,

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:09.680
<v Speaker 8>and I did. We didn't even touch. The bell had

0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 8>rung and me and my opponents didn't even touch for

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 8>like nine minutes because we just let them do it. It's

0:34:14.239 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 8>like that's the kind of magic that like if you

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 8>get a crowd that's so into it and they just

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:20.600
<v Speaker 8>want to be a part of the show, you can

0:34:20.680 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 8>have just a blast with a man and you never know,

0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:26.200
<v Speaker 8>Like we didn't even do anything wrestling wise in the match.

0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 8>We just went nuts and had fun with the crowd.

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:29.439
<v Speaker 8>So well, they're they're pretty great.

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:31.799
<v Speaker 5>And sometimes that stuff could carry over, right, Like a

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:34.440
<v Speaker 5>lot of these crowd chants they'll start over there and

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:36.359
<v Speaker 5>then people watching back home will pick it back up

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 5>and it'll kind of bring it over here too.

0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 8>To your point about that is like that stuff kind

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 8>of leaked online that that specific night and people caught

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 8>wind of it, and really, like I had a tag partner,

0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:50.719
<v Speaker 8>Jason Jordan back then our tag team was American Elpha.

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 8>That's what launched us, was that interest from that specific crowd.

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 8>It carried over into like a show in London the

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 8>next week, which was bigger and televised, and like then

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 8>the American audience saw that and it was like that

0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:06.759
<v Speaker 8>really launched us. So it's like those I don't know,

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:08.680
<v Speaker 8>a thousand people or whatever it was in that building

0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:12.400
<v Speaker 8>in Blackpool was responsible for like a lot of our elevation.

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's crazy what can be done?

0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:17.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Chad, watch Corey over there, the main guy with

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:19.120
<v Speaker 4>the black hat on the Watch his face when I

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 4>say this Corey.

0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 2>One of his trainers was Dusty Rhodes.

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh hell yeah, that's all I say.

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 4>Right, Yeah, and again you're around Corey's age, actually a

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:32.080
<v Speaker 4>little bit younger, but that's that's your general I mean,

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:33.920
<v Speaker 4>that's a hero, right as a kid grown up. That's

0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 4>somebody who was bigger than life on television.

0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:38.520
<v Speaker 8>And to the point I mentioned earlier about having to

0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 8>break through, like the character stuff that I struggled so

0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:44.600
<v Speaker 8>much with, and yeah, speaking that was Dusty's role down

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 8>at the Performance Center when he was coaching, was he

0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:50.320
<v Speaker 8>did what we call presentation skills class. It's basically promos

0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:53.359
<v Speaker 8>and interviews because I mean he was the master at that, right,

0:35:53.400 --> 0:35:56.399
<v Speaker 8>He's the all time past. Yeah, So to have him

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:58.879
<v Speaker 8>be the one teaching us. I mean, first of all,

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 8>very anxiety and see because he's the best of all time. Yeah,

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 8>but he was so cool to me. Like I always say,

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 8>there was people down in NXT and when I started,

0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:11.239
<v Speaker 8>and they're on the main roster too, but like I say,

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 8>they're like they were unnecessarily cool, Like they're so much

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:16.799
<v Speaker 8>larger than life and they don't have any reason to

0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:20.000
<v Speaker 8>just be genuinely awesome people. And they were so cool

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:21.759
<v Speaker 8>to me. And Dusty was one of them. And he

0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 8>always called me shoot like you got a little lisp.

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:28.080
<v Speaker 8>Shooter Shooter in WWE means like you were an amateur wrestler,

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:31.200
<v Speaker 8>you have a legitimate background. He was shooter Shooter and

0:36:31.239 --> 0:36:33.879
<v Speaker 8>he tried to get me to loosen up. Loosen up man.

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 1>And he was u.

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:37.520
<v Speaker 8>He was just a master at reading people and getting

0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 8>under people's person to their real personality and pulling it

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:43.320
<v Speaker 8>out of him. He was just the He was the man.

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:48.440
<v Speaker 6>That give me your give me your mount rushmore Wrestlers

0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 6>all time, total package, the ability, the character, the interviews,

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 6>all of it, the promo.

0:36:54.760 --> 0:36:56.959
<v Speaker 8>I do these a lot, and it changes every time

0:36:57.000 --> 0:37:01.239
<v Speaker 8>based on who I'm currently watching. But Brett Hart is

0:37:01.280 --> 0:37:03.600
<v Speaker 8>on there for me because just I think he's what

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:16.320
<v Speaker 8>the greatest wrestler probably Sean Michaels, Paul Cogan, Yeah, Steve Austin, Oh, correct, because.

0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Telling stories.

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 8>At the end of the day, I've realized how important,

0:37:21.800 --> 0:37:25.799
<v Speaker 8>you know, storytelling and characters, all of that is. I

0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:27.800
<v Speaker 8>used to be just a technical wrestling guy. If you

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:29.840
<v Speaker 8>would ask me that ten years ago, it would have

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:33.359
<v Speaker 8>been nothing but technical wrestlers on that list. But some

0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 8>of those guys, in the stories they told and the

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:38.959
<v Speaker 8>characters they presented were We're like nothing we've ever seen.

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:44.400
<v Speaker 4>So obviously there's different generations of wrestling fans. I was

0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 4>a kid of the eighties. I'm fifty five years old, right,

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:49.319
<v Speaker 4>so it is a totally different thing. But it could

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:51.880
<v Speaker 4>be stated in some ways, this is the golden age

0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:52.680
<v Speaker 4>of what you do.

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Would you agree? Is this the time you are glad

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:56.400
<v Speaker 2>to be a part of what you're part of?

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I think we're hitting a point.

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:02.040
<v Speaker 8>We're at a point where you're getting the best of

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:02.800
<v Speaker 8>every world.

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 8>It's it's character driven, it's story driven, and without a doubt,

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:11.799
<v Speaker 8>it's the most athletically inclined generation that I think we've

0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:14.400
<v Speaker 8>ever seen in wrestling. Like, guys are doing stuff now

0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:18.719
<v Speaker 8>that people would have never even thought possible twenty years ago.

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:21.160
<v Speaker 8>And it makes it hard man for guys like me.

0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:23.279
<v Speaker 8>Now they're kind of getting up there in age. It's like,

0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:26.520
<v Speaker 8>these guys are crazy. They're doing stuff that we can't.

0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Now. He w so as he may.

0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, pul yourself down there, good man, as he sits down.

0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:42.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean that that's it's Wisconsin versus Minnesota here man,

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, this bad blood between the two. No, we

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:50.799
<v Speaker 4>adopted him and we adopted him into Minnesota.

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:54.120

<v Speaker 5>with a fan in recent memory.

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, I got I'm trying to think of.

0:39:56.960 --> 0:40:00.959
<v Speaker 8>So. I used to do this thing to your point

0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:04.000
<v Speaker 8>about people having gimmicks and doing the two by fours

0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:04.400
<v Speaker 8>and all this.

0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:05.560
<v Speaker 1>A few years ago.

0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 8>I used to do this thing where I would go, oh, yeah,

0:40:07.960 --> 0:40:09.720
<v Speaker 8>I would I stole it from a poly Shore.

0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Movie in the nineties and I would.

0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:14.680
<v Speaker 8>Go shoosh, and it's just stupid, like it's so dumb, man,

0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:17.560
<v Speaker 8>But like people loved it. So I kept doing it,

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 8>and we had to do an appearance once in like Kentucky.

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:23.640
<v Speaker 2>It was very kind of like covid Era probably had.

0:40:23.560 --> 0:40:25.600
<v Speaker 1>A nice fat bottom lipper.

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:29.840
<v Speaker 8>So the guy had tobacco, right, and just one of

0:40:29.840 --> 0:40:32.239
