Speaker 1: it is an honor to have you on the show.

62
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: And man, one of the greatest dudes in wrestling right now,

63
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: which we've talked about Darby on the show multiple times,

64
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: and we know that there is going to be gold

65
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: around Darby's waist when it's all set and done.

66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get there hopefully one day.

67
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: One day, and we will start that this Saturday with

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: the all out. I mean, you're in the Casido Royale

69
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: and you know we're hoping you get that chip Man.

70
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've had bad luck with Casino anything. The ladder

71
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 5: match I got pretty muffed up. And you know, hopefully

72
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 5: this Saturday is a little different.

73
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, We're gonna make sure we're gonna put this out

74
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: there in the universe. This Satday's gonna be different because

75
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: everybody that came on this show has went on to

76
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: win gold. So I believe that that's gonna happen with you.

77
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: And let's just kind of jump right into this real quick, Like,

78
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: have you always been a fan of pro wrestling? And

79
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, if so, who are some of your favorites

80
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: growing up?

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: Yes?

82
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 5: And no, I was a fan when I was a

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 5: lot younger, but then I kind of fell out of

84
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 5: it because it just got so boring and mundane to me,

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: Like I just didn't want to spend my time watching

86
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 5: something I was a paint.

87
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: It was painful to watch. So now you know, I

88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: got I.

89
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 5: Got back into wrestling probably within the last like five years,

90
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 5: once I started training and stuff, like that.

91
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

92
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 5: There's a lot growing up that I liked as a

93
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 5: young young child, But I don't know. Those guys are

94
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 5: like mankind, the mankind's and the you know people like that, right?

95
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: Is that kind of where you get some of your

96
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: style from? Because I mean, dude, you're jumping off of

97
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: a bridge with thumbtacks in your back. I mean the

98
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: coffin drop on at the cracker barrel. I mean, dude, No,

99
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

100
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 5: I think I get my more ship, my ship from wrestling,

101
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 5: not wrestling with skateboarding. Just like growing up in all

102
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 5: these skaters that will just like destroy themselves just for

103
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 5: the passion. It's not about the money, it's not about

104
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 5: the fame. It's the passion of what you're doing. And

105
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 5: I feel like that's what I want to convey through

106
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 5: my performance. Is I'd be doing this crazy shit with

107
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 5: or without a big company by me, you know what

108
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 5: I mean. So I'd be jumping on bridges in my

109
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 5: free time anyway. So bring my world into professional wrestling,

110
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 5: all right?

111
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 4: And I think I think a lot of kids go

112
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 4: through that. I probably watched wrestling twil I was about

113
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: twelve and then got into guitar, and you know, music

114
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: became the main thing, and then I got back into

115
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 4: it around that time Stinging and Mankind and the Attitude era,

116
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 4: and I think a lot of people kind of have

117
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 4: that initial love for it and then they kind of

118
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: fall out when you start finding other things kind of

119
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 4: but you know, jumping off of that, was there a

120
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 4: specific moment or like an event when you knew that

121
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: you had to be a pro wrestler, Like was it

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: you know, when you got into training and you're like, Wow,

123
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: I'm really getting this or was it like your first

124
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: match or like what was that kind of lightning bolt moment.

125
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 5: I'd have to say when I was living in Arizona

126
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 5: going to film school, and I like I dropped, I

127
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: dropped out of film school, and I was just like

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 5: I always wanted to try this professional wrestling thing because

129
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 5: to me, it was like a world of its like

130
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 5: own and you could do whatever the hell you want it.

131
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 5: But uh, as living in Arizona at the time, I

132
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 5: was like one hundred and twenty six pounds, just like

133
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 5: we're just barely eating and barely doing, like, you know,

134
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: just skating the whole time. And then I went to

135
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 5: this independent show in Arizona and I saw these just

136
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 5: trash bag wrestlers. They're just fucking awful, and then I

137
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: was just like, dude, if these guys are doing it,

138
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 5: I have to like try it because I've always wanted

139
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 5: to try it.

140
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: But then you kind of like listening to these assholes

141
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: that are like.

142
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 6: You need to be on steroids, or you need to

143
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 6: do this, you need to do that, and I'm like, dude,

144
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 6: shut the hell up, Like I'm gonna do it my way,

145
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 6: and if it doesn't work out my way, then I

146
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 6: don't want to be in this business because I don't

147
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 6: want to conform to anybody's bullshit.

148
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 5: So I kind of did it my way in I'm

149
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 5: here today. But I'd say the lightning spark moment was

150
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 5: taking the metro bus to this crappy ass wrestling show

151
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 5: in Arizona, and I was like.

152
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: Damn, yeah.

153
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 4: Well it's pretty funny too because there's a lot of

154
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of stuff that's tied to the

155
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: film industry that's also wrestling, a lot of production, you know,

156
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 4: so I'm sure a lot of that was already in

157
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: your wheelhouse.

158
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: So man, dude, it's such an honor, Like I said,

159
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: having Darby on aw All Out is going down this Saturday.

160
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: You can watch it on pay per view eight seven Central.

161
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,479
Speaker 1: And you kind of talked a little bit briefly about skateboarding.

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: So how is skateboarding and pro wrestling in your opinion similar?

163
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: I don't know.

164
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 5: Like to me, it takes a lot of I feel

165
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 5: like when I fall in the in the ring, the

166
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 5: number one thing that got me ready for that was

167
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 5: skateboarding and that nothing's worse than the concrete.

168
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: No, yeah, than the concrete. And uh so I felt

169
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: like it. You see a lot of people in wrestling.

170
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 5: They talk about being crazy and they talk about doing shit,

171
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 5: but in their free time, they're probably just playing their

172
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 5: game Boy or something like that.

173
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: But me, I'll be there on the you know.

174
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 5: Just doing whatever the hell, like stunts and stuff like that,

175
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 5: because I want to show people that this isn't an act,

176
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 5: this isn't a gimmick er character, This is me in

177
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 5: real life, but being able to be seen on national

178
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 5: television with you know, my you know, stunts and stuff

179
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 5: like that.

180
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: So the world they're both very physical worlds.

181
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 5: But I don't know, the thing is the only difference

182
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 5: is is when I fall on a skateboard.

183
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 2: There's not a thousand people cheering me on.

184
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 5: There's just like like a random guy working at the

185
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: gas station like you okay, bro, but.

186
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Or if your buddy's filming you, he's rolling

187
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 4: on the floor laughing at you.

188
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

189
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: So that's But.

190
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 4: Who who did you train with to get into pro wrestling?

191
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 4: And we we know that you had a little bit

192
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: of an amateur wrestling background. Do you think that that

193
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: helped you or or hurt you or maybe you know,

194
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 4: stunted you a little bit in pro wrestling.

195
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 5: I trained with guy named Buddy Wayne, Uh, some old

196
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 5: school type dude up in Seattle, because when I moved

197
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 5: back from Arizona, like he was like the only school

198
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 5: in Washington.

199
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: So I got hit him up.

200
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 5: And I don't think I don't think the amateur wrestling

201
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 5: ever stunned my growth with anything.

202
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 2: If anything, it got me more.

203
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,359
Speaker 1: Uh.

204
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: People knew that, like there was a side of me

205
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 2: that wasn't just.

206
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 5: A skater, crazy guy, you know what I mean? So

207
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 5: all those guys like discipline. He one third in State

208
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 5: and Idaho in wrestling, and there's a side of him

209
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 5: that is very serious and he doesn't like to mess around.

210
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Nice excuse me. Darby Allen is our guest right now.

211
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: Aw all Out is going down this Saturday. You can

212
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: still get on pay per view eight seventh Central on

213
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: major pay per view platforms. So how did let's let's

214
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: kind of talk about this. How did the character of

215
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: Darby Allen come about? Like, was there a specific influence

216
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: for the face paint? Was there a specific influence for

217
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: the character the way to the ring? Who all?

218
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: Was that? Uh, that's just kind of how I fell

219
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: on a daily basis.

220
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 5: But you can't. You can't go ballistic in the supermarket

221
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 5: because you'll probably end up in prison or something.

222
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: True.

223
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: It's just me like, however the hell.

224
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 5: I've ever wanted to act behind closed doors, but now

225
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 5: they're like, go out there, do you bro?

226
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: So that's where we are at.

227
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: And that's got to be a great feeling that somebody

228
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: just says, you know what, just do whatever you want

229
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: to do. As long as you stay within the parameters,

230
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: you're good.

231
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

232
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 5: That's all I could ever ask for, because it's the

233
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 5: number one thing that I like to seek out as

234
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 5: an artist.

235
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: As an individual, I don't want anybody tell me who

236
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: to be.

237
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 5: I don't anybody tell me how to act, and if

238
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 5: that's how you want to be, like, more.

239
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: Power to you. But I couldn't do it.

240
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 5: I cannot sit there and be told how to breathe,

241
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 5: how to act, Like, go screw yourself.

242
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: I am not playing anybody's games.

243
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 5: I'd rather work at a gas station then be a millionaire,

244
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 5: but be a millionaire on somebody else's you know, time whatever.

245
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 4: You know, their creativity nutures because.

246
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, like, who the hell

247
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 5: am I? Like, I don't even know, Like this isn't this?

248
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 5: Ain't me, Like you know, Bobby Joe created me?

249
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: Whoever? All that is is Darby?

250
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: Is that a is that little tribute to the germs.

251
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: Or course world? That was only?

252
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: That was only my guess.

253
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 5: I just yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a Derby, Derby Crash

254
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 5: and g G which is ironic because both of them

255
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: died of our like drug overdoses.

256
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: But I'm straight edge, so there you go.

257
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 5: It's kind of fun too, h I don't know, just

258
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 5: those guys, that's such polarizing personalities.

259
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: And then I feel like you love them or you

260
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: hate them, You're gonna remember them?

261
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah for sure.

262
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: So right after you signed with a W You've done

263
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 4: some time with you know, some I guess we'd call them, Well,

264
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 4: there are major print emotions, but nothing to the level

265
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: of a W. But your first kind of major match

266
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 4: was the time limit draw you had with Cody last summer,

267
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 4: which really kind of puts you in the spotlight in

268
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 4: a major way. Do you have any specific recollection recollections

269
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: of that match? Is there anything you might have done

270
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 4: differently looking back on it, and you know specifically like

271
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: did your life change, like were you starting to be

272
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: recognized at like grocery stores and stuff like.

273
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 5: That, or Yeah, that match, I wouldn't change anything. I

274
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 5: pretty like literally put it on the line out there

275
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 5: that night, and I went into the match knowing that

276
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: it's like in wrestling, I would kill myself on the

277
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 5: independence and I all it just wanted was a chance

278
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 5: just to take that moment where it's like, all right,

279
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 5: show us what you got. And that was that night.

280
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 5: There was no bullshit. You're putting the company with like

281
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 5: one of the top guys, and it's kind of like

282
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 5: sink or swim, like you're gonna you know, you've wanted

283
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 5: this moment.

284
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: Now is your time, so put up or shut the

285
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: hell up, dude.

286
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 5: So like, that's how I how I approached that match,

287
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 5: and I wouldn't change anything.

288
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: And I definitely felt more people overnight.

289
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 5: Started realizing what I was capable of in the big,

290
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 5: big thing like wrestling, instead of being used as just

291
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 5: like this you know, uh bottom low card guy who's

292
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 5: just you know, treated as just like a I don't know,

293
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 5: it's just it's a it's a joke to me that

294
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 5: you know, you kill yourself on so many shows but

295
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 5: never be treated with any respect, and then you came

296
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 5: here and then you just shut everybody up. That's why

297
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't miss those days of being

298
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 5: just disrespected.

299
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: So yeah, and I give it up to Cody too

300
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: for you know, willing his We got to talk to

301
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: him last time November, I think it was and his

302
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 4: whole thing is just the storytelling, and I mean the

303
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: story you guys were able to tell, and especially with

304
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 4: the ending with the timelom and draw, I mean, it was.

305
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Just it was awesome. It was a really a solid match.

306
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously people are talking. You know, you

307
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: said over nine, everybody's checking out who Darby Allen is.

308
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,240

Speaker 1: that mean to you? Seeing that you're number fifty five.

312
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 5: Doesn't mean anything. To be honest, I don't care. I

313
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 5: really don't care. Like I don't care like about that. No,

314

358
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 4: about the Ladder match a little bit ago. There's been

359
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 4: a couple moments of animosity between you and a recent

360
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 4: AW edition known as the Machine, mister Brian Cage. Can

361
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 4: you give us some thoughts on him? And is he

362
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 4: someone you're looking forward to getting in the ring with.

363
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's weird to here's that I had my

364
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 5: sight sent on Brian at first, but then Ricky kind

365
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 5: of came into the picture, and you know, whenever he

366
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 5: attacked me from behind and my head literally felt like

367
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 5: my neck broke on those ropes that.

368
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Thing looked rough. I sent Eli the video on it.

369
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: I was like, holy shit, like that is bad.

370
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 5: The moment, the moment that happened, I was like, Brian's

371
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 5: gonna be put on hold.

372
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: I gotta take care of Ricky.

373
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 5: So that's that's pretty much what I've been set out

374
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 5: to do. And fortunately for him, I mean fortunately for

375
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 5: me and unfortunately for him, we're both in that Battle

376
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 5: Royal this week and I'm looking forward to getting in there.

377
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: And I mean just just sitting there and you got

378
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of payback on him, you know, getting

379
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: them in the thumb tacks, and you know.

380
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: That was not good enough. That was not good.

381
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: That's not good enough. What else do we need to

382
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: do to Ricky Starks? I mean, you got him in

383
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: the thumb to actually knocked him literally out of his shoes.

384
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean, what what what are we going to expect?

385
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, are we going to see, uh, Darby Allen

386
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: bring the body bag out and Ricky starts as leaving

387
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: in that body bag?

388
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say that's the it's the goal right now.

389
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: That's the plan, Ricky, Ricky, Uh Yeah, that's that's the

390
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 5: that's the game plan right now.

391
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: But uh Ricky just needs to I don't mind.

392
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 5: Like I don't want to say cliche or generic, but

393
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 5: like when you enter yourself into somebody else's business and

394
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 5: almost end my career with my neck snapping against those ropes,

395
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 5: like dude, Yeah, there's a lot I had planed for Ricky.

396
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now you know, did he after all that

397
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: was said and done, did he come backstage and like

398
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: check on you or anything, or did he say anything

399
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: to you you know after it all was done or uh?

400
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: I kind of just went off into my own world.

401
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 5: I I sat in my car and was just like

402
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 5: WHOA got rocked. Then went to like the medical staff

403
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 5: and just talked to them, and I was fine and

404
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 5: I was good to go. No no concussion, just extreme

405
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 5: whiplash and stuff like that. So yeah, but you know,

406
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 5: he'd say, we're even now that I got the thumb

407
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 5: tacks in his back, But that wasn't getting none.

408
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that would be even your career almost

409
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: ending thumb tacks. That's not going to be that bad

410
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: of a deal. You know. You just pull those out

411
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: and get a little booboo here and there.

412
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, got a lot of plan for Ricky.

413
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: Man and we'll be able to see what happens this Saturday.

00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: But man, that's a hard question. I'd have to pass

432
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,240
