Speaker 3: coming off a big victory this past Wednesday night. Or Man,

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: we sat there and talked about that on paper, and

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: of course everybody wants to count Daniel Garcia out when

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 3: he's going up against Brian Danielson. But I think at

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: the end of the night it says, and uh, your

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: winner is Daniel Garcia.

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I think a lot of people were surprised.

32
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: I really wasn't. I think I'm a big threat at AEW.

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are going to realize

34
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna even bigger threat very soon.

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. And let's talk about this because we're

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: we're just a little removed from your Peer Championship match

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: against Wheeler You to death before Designer. This one had

38
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: the we like to call the Internet Wrestling Community the IWC.

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: They had this.

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: Split down the middle. It's very hard to pick who

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: they wanted to win.

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that title match now that

43
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: you've had some time to reflect on it.

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: It was really painful. That was the most thing I

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: remember about the match. My neck was all hurt from

46
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: getting palm striked in the neck. My back hurt from

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: getting put in the walls of Jericho. But it was

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: a very hard five match. I think that we had

49
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: a lot more in the tank that we could have exhausted.

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: But I think I got a feeling, correct me if

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I got a feeling that we'll have plenty

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: of time and plenty of opportunities to exhaust these these

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: feelings that we have for each other over the next

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: probably twenty years.

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

56
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we forget how young you guys are

57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: sometimes just because of the high level of performance we

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: get from you guys in the ring. So this is

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 4: kind of a you know, think about it from like

60
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 4: you being as a little kid or something. I mean,

61
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: how amazing is it to not only be involved with,

62
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: but also fighting four championships in such a legendary promotion

63
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: like Ring of Honor, you know, through aw It's great.

64
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor is the first indie promotion that a

65
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: lot of people have heard of. A lot of people

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: my age really got into. It was a lot of

67
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: people's my age first experience in professional wrestling outside of WWE.

68
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: It was their first alternative choice. I know, it was

69
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: one of my first alternative choices. I remember watching it

70
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: in my mom's room, laying in her bed when she

71
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: was on vacation. I remember going in her room and

72
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: watching the Ring Vonner tapes, and even when it was

73
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: on like Access TV, I would watch it. So it

74
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: was a pretty big deal for me. I never got

75
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: to wrestle for Ring of Honor when it was its

76
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: own entity. Then when Tony purchased AW or purchased Ring

77
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Vandory and put it into AW, I was kind of surprised,

78
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: and I was also very intrigued because it was something

79
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: that I always wanted to check off my bucket list,

80
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: and once I signed the AW I thought it wasn't

81
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: something I was going to be able to do for

82
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. And then when Tony bought it, I

83
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: was like, maybe I can, uh, maybe I can add

84
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: this to the resume and check it off the bucket list.

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and of course checking things off the bucket list again,

86
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: not very many people could say that they have a

87
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: victory over Brian Danielson, So there's something you can, you know,

88
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: check off. And of course this Wednesday night, aw Dynamite

89
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: and Columbus at the Shot you can still grab tickets

90
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: all wrestling dot Com. And you know there's no love

91
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: loss between the Jericho Appreciation Society and of course Blackpool

92
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: Combat Club with blood and Guts happening just a few

93
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: weeks ago, would you be up to, I guess, challenging

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: the brand new ROH World Champion Claudio to a match.

95
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: Sure, I'll wrestle anybody if the if the timing is

96
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: right and if Jericho thinks that the opportunity is right

97
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: for me, I will wrestle anybody. And Claudio, I felt

98
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: him in the ring. I felt everything he had to

99
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: offer for me, and I think I'm a really good

100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: stylistic matchup against somebody like him.

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: Definitely, that's gonna be a fun one to watch once

102
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: we get that one.

103
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we talked to him this weekend, and first off,

104
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: he's way bigger in person, Like when you're standing tide,

105
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 4: You're like, oh wow, he is like a Swiss superman. Yeah,

106
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: but I think I think you two styles will definitely

107
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 4: mesh well and in like a one on one. So

108
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: speaking of you know, I think we've already kind of

109
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 4: mentioned it here a couple of times. We witnessed a

110
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: highly anticipated match last week on Dynamite One. Your opponent, actually,

111
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 4: Brian Danielson was also looking for You were on his

112
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: short list of people he was kind of eager to

113
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: get in the ring with. Squared off against Brian Danielson.

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 4: At the end, your hand was raised in victory. Did

115
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: that match live up to your expectations? And what do

116
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 4: you say to those who assumed Danielson was kind of

117
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 4: the shoe in for the victory on that match.

118
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think any time that you get a win,

119
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: it should live up to your expectations. He came out hot,

120
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: he came out fiery, But I knew that, because he

121
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: was coming off injury, that he was going to exhaust

122
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: himself very quick.

123
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 4: I knew if he just ran, he ran.

124
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: Out of gas. He moved too quickly. Maybe he came

125
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: back from injury a little bit too soon. If I

126
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: had to guess, I think he came back just a

127
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: hair bit too soon to be a doctor. But now

128
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. Don't take my medical expertise. I'm

129
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: like web MD. But somebody like him. I know he

130
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: loves wrestling. It's all he wants to do. He doesn't

131
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: he cares about his wife, kids, the planet, and wrestling

132
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: those are the only things that he cares about. So

133
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: I knew that once he had the opportunity to come

134
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: back in the ring, that he was going to take

135
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: that opportunity. He wasn't going to hesitate. And maybe if

136
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: he was going against somebody a little less dangerous, a

137
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: little less nasty, a little less gritty, it would have

138
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: worked out a little bit better for him. But he

139
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: was in the ring against somebody who does not care

140
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: about others well being, somebody who will do whatever it

141
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: takes to win, and that's me. And I think he

142
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: came back a little bit too soon. He hesitated, and

143
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: I took advantage of that. I exploited every opening that

144
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: he gave me. And I don't care if I have

145
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: to be dirty, I don't care if I have to

146
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: exploit an injury, I will do it. I'll do whatever

147
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: it takes to get the wing. And that's what Jericho

148
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: taught me to do. Jericho taught me do not hesitate

149
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: capitalizing situations, and that's exactly what I did.

150
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: When I hear you talk like that, I kind of

151
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: get I get flashes of like Kobe Bryant, and you

152
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 4: know that kind of mom and mentality of just like

153
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: there's an opening ticket and you know, do what you

154
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: gotta do to win, and it's kind of like, you know,

155
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: do you kind of think of yourself in that kind

156
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: of MVP kind of role.

157
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: Like definitely, definitely, I think. I think when it comes

158
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: to AW, I've been the MVP over the past years

159
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: since I got here. It's about to buy a year

160
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: long anniversary at AW. I've had the most televised main

161
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: events over the past year. Every opportunity that they've given me,

162
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: I have knocked it out of the park. Right when

163
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: I got to AW, people are like, Oh, who's Daniel Garcia?

164
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Why is he getting so many main events? Once a

165
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: main event happened, the next one happened, the next one happened,

166
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: and you saw how high of a level I was

167
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: performing at. Everybody knew why I was getting put in

168
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: those situations. Tony can see talent, and Tony can pick

169
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: out talent, and he was able to see my talent

170
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: very early on, and other people are just starting to

171
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: catch up to a Tony be seeing right now.

172
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: That's probably the best way to say that. Yeah, exactly.

173
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: I mean, there's nothing really to follow up on that one,

174
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: because you just you said everything nailed it on the head.

175
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: But it's fun to watch.

176
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: You know, Jericho Appreciation Society going at the Blackpool Combat Club.

177
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: Like you could just see both both crews mesh very

178
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: well together when they're in the ring. And what are

179
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: the I guess the key advantages Jericho Appreciation Society has

180
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: over the Blackpool Combat Club. I mean specifically, how are

181
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 3: you guys still going toe and toe with them?

182
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: I think the biggest advantage that we have is we

183
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: have the greatest of all time on our team. We

184
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: have christ Jericho, somebody who was able to adapt in

185
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: and reinvent himself and change to every different aspect of

186
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: the business over the past twenty something years. And on

187
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: top of that, we have me, the greatest wrestler, greatest

188
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: sports entertainer under twenty five on the planet. We have

189
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: Matt Monard and Angelo Parker, the best tag team in

190
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: the world right now. And then we have Sammy Guavarro,

191
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: who is insane. He will do whatever, he will do

192
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to get a highlight reel or to

193
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: capitalize on any situation. Now we got Tie and an

194
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: a J too, which adds a completely different layer to

195
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: our team. And the thing that brings us all together,

196
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: and that makes us the most dangerous is our loyalty

197
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: to each other. We are loyal to Christiericho for so

198
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: many reasons. They got matt an Angelo a job at

199
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: aw he donated to my GoFundMe after I was in

200
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: a car accident. We have an undying loyalty to christ

201
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: Jericho and that's something that will never end.

202
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, great answer. Yeah, yeah, I think and and Jane

203
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: getting into the mix is going to be you know hers.

204
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 4: We actually interviewed her a couple not to a couple

205
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: of years ago, but she uh, yeah, she kind of

206
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: seemed like she kind of had lost some direction there,

207
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 4: you know, like once tight kind of line really hard

208
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 4: with Sammy. She kind of was just there. She did

209
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: fight Jade, I guess she did have a title shot

210
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: against Jade, but now it was yeah, yeah, but you're

211
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 4: in a dark order. Yeah, you know, but you kind

212
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: of see now just in the the two weeks since

213
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: she's kind of been accepted in the JS, like that,

214
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: she's kind of got that kind of like that mean

215
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: streak we hadn't seen before.

216
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: A lot of people. Sleep is very talented and she.

217
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: It's easy to look over obviously, she's beautiful, you know,

218
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 4: and I think a lot of people kind of like

219
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 4: look past you know, kind of like okay, I get it,

220
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 4: but then like we I mean even Tiger really, I mean,

221
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 4: you know, you just look at her as a striking

222
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: woman and then you're like, oh, wow, she's got like

223
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 4: martial art experience and you know, like wow, she really

224
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: can kick as you know. So I think if we

225
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 4: do see a aw women's tag team titles, I think

226
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 4: that's an obvious team you want to look. This one's

227
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: a This is a general wrestling question and it's not

228
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 4: really trying to get dirt or you know, started up

229
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: pot anything. But you've mentioned Triple H previously. You know,

230
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: you had a little bit of a time in NXT,

231
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 4: and I think that the hat you wear is maybe

232
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: a little bit of a tribute to him in a sense.

233
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 4: Do you have any opinion of, you know, thoughts about

234
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 4: him becoming head of creative over at the other place.

235
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, my time in NXT was maybe a day.

236
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, a very short window there yet.

237
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: Triple H. I'm a I'm a huge fan of I

238
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: think he's one of the greatest ever. He was one

239
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: of my favorites when I was a kid. He's offered

240
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: us so many great memories that are kind of like

241
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: my first memories in wrestling, like the thumbs up thumbs down.

242
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff is the first stuff that I

243
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: remember watching when I was a kid, and that really

244
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: made me and my family really strong wrestling fans in

245
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: that era. I mean, it was hard not to watch

246
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: Schickleach in that time. He was plast yeared all over

247
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: the ww product. He was the franchise player, and I

248
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: think it's great that he's taken over. I mean, I

249
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: don't know what the what their plans are over there,

250
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: but I think it's great. I think it's going to

251
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: give a lot of independent wrestlers great opportunities and professional

252
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: wrestling at a very high level, and I think that's

253
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: good for everybody. More more valid places for wrestlers to work,

254
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: is going to create a lot more opportunities for everybody around.

255
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: And it's going to create a lot more competition, and

256
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: I think healthy competition, maybe even some unhealthy competition, is

257
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: good for everybody.

258
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: And definitely, and you look at it, at the end

259
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: of the day, the people that win, not only are

260
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 3: the wrestlers that win, but the fans win. Because I mean,

261
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: everybody's going to try to, you know, step up and

262
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: one up this other person, and that you're just going

263
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: to get even more better product than we're already getting

264
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: right now.

265
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: And as a.

266
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: Wrestling fan, having wrestling on pretty much every day of

267
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: the week, it's.

268
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: Exciting, exciting, very exciting. If I was a twelve thirteen

269
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: year old during this time, I would be losing my

270
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: mind at the amount of man that I would be

271
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: able to consume.

272
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: Oh for sure. We're here in Nashville and we just

273
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 4: had Rick Flair's final match, and they Summer Slam. It's

274
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 4: it's kind of weird to say Summer slams second, but

275
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 4: I mean there was a Black Label Pro Show Friday,

276
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 4: There's a GCW show Friday, New Japan Show Saturday, Summer

277
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 4: Slam Saturday, Rick flairs last match last night. I mean

278
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: that just so much stuff going on. And we had

279
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: you know, main event of the Rick Flair match to

280
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: aw Talent, you know, Jay Lethal and on Friday. So

281
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: I mean there's just so much going on right now

282
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: with wrestling.

283
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean we're in the pro wrestling multiverse right now.

284
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: It really is.

285
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it really fantastic, and I love the fact

286
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: that me and he Alive had this conversation. My five

287
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: year old is getting into wrestling now, so like he

288
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: is like his big thing is he's figured out who's

289
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: the good guys and who's the bad guys, and we'll

290
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 3: watch AW on Wednesday nights and when you guys come out,

291
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 3: he does this thumbs up at the TV. But then

292
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: when when moxleyn All Them comes out, he does this.

293
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: So he loves it.

294
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: He's very smart. He knows the cheerful Oh, I think, yeah, sure,

295
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 4: sure question.

296
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, So if is there someone on the ae W

297
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 3: roster that you have worked with that has like really

298
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: just blown you away in the ring?

299
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: Oh, it wasn't an AW match, But the first person

300
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: that comes to mind is when I wrestled Kenoski Takeshta

301
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: at the last PWG show. I really think he's the

302
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: best I've ever been in the ring with. And that's

303
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of crazy to say when you look at the

304
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: people I've been in the ring with, see I'm Punk,

305
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: Brian Danielson, John Moxley, Christ Erico and Takeshta. Is he

306
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: he just felt different? Yeah? I don't. I don't know

307
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: how to explain it. He felt like a superhero, and

308
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: I think he is. He's so he's so young still,

309
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: I think he's like twenty seven, twenty eight, So I

310
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: think he's going to be He's going to take over

311
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: the world. Yeah, he's gonna He's gonna take over the

312
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: world in professional wrestling.

313
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: I think I think Tony kind of had what he

314
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 4: saw in you. I think he sees in him and

315
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 4: just every every you know, every week, you're just like,

316
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 4: holy crap. I mean, I mean he Yeah, he's diamond

317
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 4: and rough there man, he's he's.

318
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: He's so explosive, so athletic, and so likable, like people

319
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: want to cheer for him. Yeah, people see him and

320
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: immediately want to root for him. And I think all

321
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: of those things is a it's like the perfect combination

322
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: to be a professional wrestler.

323
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely, so this, uh, this may be like a no brainer.

324
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 4: But do you think we can expect to see yourself,

325
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 4: Daddy Magic and Cool Hand representing Jericho Appreciation Society and

326
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 4: going after the newly announced aw Trio tag team belts.

327
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's definitely an option that might be

328
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: on the table for us. We are a team that

329
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: nobody expected to even be a team. I don't think

330
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: that was something that ever crossed people's mind putting us

331
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: three together. And then a year ago we got put

332
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: together and we just kind of meshed and we rolled

333
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: with it. We have had a bunch of high level

334
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: Cheeros matches together. Our first one was against against Eddie

335
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: Kingston Darby and John Boxley, so we have a lot

336
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: of high level experience when it comes to that, and yeah,

337
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: we're definitely looking at those Cheers titles. The good thing

338
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: about the JS is we have so many people that

339
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: could be in a different combination to be in this

340
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: Strios match. Maybe maybe it's me, Chris and Hager. Maybe

341
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: it's Hagar, Matt and Chris. Maybe it's Jeff Matt and

342
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: me that there's so many different options you can go.

343
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and hopefully it'll be free wad rules. You guys

344
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 4: can do whatever. But I mean, I like you guys's

345
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 4: trio even before you guys got involved with Jericho. I mean,

346
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 4: to be honest with you, I mean, I like calling

347
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: them their new nicknames Daddy Magic, cool Hand. I mean,

348
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: they're they're so like and you know, they had some

349
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: they had experience obviously in previously NXT and a lot

350
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 4: of the indie stuff. So I think for a lot

351
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 4: of people this Japan, Japan, Yeah, this is their first

352
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 4: kind of experienced kind of like you too, I guess,

353
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 4: like you know, first kind of wide you know, big

354
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: wide audience with that. But you guys, I kind of

355
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: felt like it almost reminded me of like d X

356
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 4: vibes a little bit. And I don't mean like in

357
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 4: the attitude like all that stuff, but just the the

358
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 4: cohesiveness and then kind of the meanness, you know. And

359
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 4: uh so I was a big fan of just you

360
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 4: guys by yourself, and now surrounding yourself with that, it's

361
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 4: just like, how can it make it even more dangerous?

362
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 4: You know? So, yeah, it's been crazy to watch JS

363
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 4: kind of really meld and cause havoc.

364
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw I saw something the other day online

365
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: and it said two point zero matt in Angelo. They

366
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: weren't the biggest signing in AW history, Like they're not Brian,

367
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: they're not punk, but they were the best signing in

368
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: AW history. If you look at where they were in

369
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: NXT to what they're doing now. It's the it's it

370
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: might be the greatest steal in the history of this business.

371
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: I think that it might be the greatest steal ever.

372
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: It's like signing like it would be like signing Tree

373
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: young to like finding him in the G League and

374
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: signing him to a rookie deal like that, what would

375
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: be like?

376
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think like even tied too. To be honest,

377
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: I don't think she was really utilized very well in

378
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 4: NXT and she looks like a superstar over here. Now

379
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 4: he's a superstar yea. Can you talk for a second

380
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: about the I call it the big week you had

381
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 4: last year where you fought like Punk, was it Suzuki?

382
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 4: Was it that week? And then you had like five

383
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 4: Legends or something in like a big period? I mean,

384
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 4: was it was that just like was that just validation

385
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: like Okay, this is what I'm supposed to be doing

386
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 4: or was it just a quincy? Like what do you

387
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 4: think about when you look back on like those big

388
00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: weeks like that?

389
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: Something that I always felt like was my strength in

390
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: indie wrestling was being able to stack things where I

391
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: think wrestling is all about momentum and it's about energy.

392
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: It's not about what you do, it's about how you're

393
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: able to build off of what you do. So somebody

394
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: could have a great match, but there's so much wrestling

395
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: going on that people forget about that great match in

396
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: a week because there's so many great matches happening. So

397
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: that week it was basically what I was doing on

398
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: the indies. I would make a bunch of big matches

399
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: in a short time span so people could remember it

400
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: as not just a match, but a moment in time.

401
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: And I feel like that week was that to the

402
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: highest extent. It was Thursday, I wrestled Alex Shelley.

403
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I forget about that.

404
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: One Friday I wrestled Monoro Suzuki in the Mattres Sea

405
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: on pun Kong Rampage aired, and then Sunday I wrestled

406
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: David Richards. And the cool thing about those matches is

407
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: they're all from different eras. Oh yeah, yeah, Like it

408
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: was almost kind of like a Mount Rushmore. It went

409
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: like Suzuki Punk, Shelley Richards. Like, it's all different eras

410
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: in different genres of professional wrestling. And being able to

411
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: wrestle that many different styles and yeah, like different styles

412
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: matchups and one week and testing myself in different ways

413
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: was a really big accomplishment for me. And I'm hoping

414
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: that I gave people something to look back on forever

415
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: with that week. I hope it's something that people talk about,

416
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah when it comes to my career for the next lifetime.

417
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah absolutely. I mean that's one of those kind of

418
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 4: you know, you look back of like Summer Punk and

419
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 4: you have these like moments in people's career, and I

420
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 4: think that's going to be a definite high life for sure.

421
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 4: For sure.

422
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: So we're it's crazy to think that we're already in August.

423
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 3: This year is just flown by so fast. Not many

424
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: months left in twenty twenty two. So what does the

425
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: rest of twenty twenty two look like for not only

426
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: the Jericho Appreciation Society, but Daniel Garcia specifically.

427
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just coming off the biggest win in AW history,

428
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: the biggest non title win ever that happened in AW.

429
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't care who anybody else has ever beat, what

430
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: pay per view was on, what special event it was on.

431
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: Me beating Brian Danielson is the biggest non title win

432
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: to ever happen in the AW, no question, like period.

433
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: Finito Curtains, That's it, and I'm just gonna keep building

434
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: off that. I have a game plan. Christier Ago. We

435
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: know it's next me and two point zero. No, it's next.

436
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: Me and Hager know what's next. We know it's going

437
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: to be coming, and I think it's going to surprise

438
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I think that we are going

439
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: to make a lot of people very angry, and I

440
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: think that the rest of twenty two is going to

441
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: be dominated by the JS.

442
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 4: No question, we're excited to see what happens. I mean, sure,

443
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 4: feud you guys are doing right now with Blackpool is

444
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 4: just there's so many variations you can do. I mean

445
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 4: there's I mean, there's so much, so many legs with

446
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 4: this that I mean, you can keep going. And the

447
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 4: thing I like about it is it's not boring. Like

448
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 4: it's not the same match over and over and over,

449
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: whether it's blood and guts or it's a one on

450
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 4: one with you and Dane Brian Daniels, and like, there's

451
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 4: so many different ways this can go. So we it's

452
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 4: been killer so far, and we're just don't want to Dan.

453
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: I don't think anything with the level of talent that

454
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: we have on both sides of each group could ever

455
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: be boring. I think it's impossible, it's incapable.

456
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 4: I agree, Well, we don't want to take up too

457
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: much of your time.

458
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: So before we let you go, what is the the

459
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 3: one thing that whoever's watching this listening this, what is

460
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 3: the one thing you want to leave uh an impression

461
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: on them that's listening or watching this interview right now?

462
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 4: What's something you want to tell everybody?

463
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: Hey, get on the trained early, Get on the trained early.

464
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: I know I'm coming off a big wing that I've

465
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: been in AW for a year, but we're still very

466
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: much at the ground floor of a lot of the

467
