Speaker 2: It's great to have you on the show. So let's

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: kind of talk about this. With the addition of adding

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: the new show of AW Rampage on television, how do

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: you think Rampage is gonna help out AW, Because I

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: mean it seems like every night there is something that

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: you can watch of AEW, and now you have two

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: nights on TV.

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 6: I think I think it's gonna help tremendously, not only

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 6: for the audience standpoint, but for the roster, because you know,

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 6: Dynamite's only two hours long, and it's hard to get

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 6: TV time, especially with a kind of a younger roster

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 6: myself included. This will give us a whole nother chance

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 6: to get on you know, national television, which do doing

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 6: Darken Elevation is super fun. You can try new things

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 6: and stuff. But still it's like it's not the same

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 6: as being on TV. You know, like when you're when

40
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 6: you're a kid and you want to get into too

41
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 6: wrestling or anything sports or acting. It's like the part

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 6: of the the dream is being on TV. So it's

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 6: like it's cool to your friends will text you, Hey,

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 6: I just saw you on TV, you know, so that'll

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 6: help tremendously the roster, I think, get more TV time

46
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 6: and from a fan perspective. I mean, like, man, if

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 6: I was a kid right now and as a wrestling fan,

48
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 6: I'd be so so stoked because there's there's just wrestling

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 6: on every single like every single night. So I mean,

50
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 6: I think from from both the wrestler standpoint and looking

51
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 6: as as a fan, I mean, I think I think

52
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 6: it's all around one of the best decisions that Tony

53
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 6: and the rest of the EVPs have made.

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think I think it was smart kind

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 5: of waiting to get to this point too, and not

56
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: just saying here's all the aw shows, you know, get

57
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 5: Dynamite said, and then dark and you kind of go.

58
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 5: But I think I think a lot of people have

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 5: been prize with especially like Smackdowns on Friday Night. They're

60
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 5: having huge numbers. So historically, you know, Friday was kind

61
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: of like the graveyard for TV stuff, but wrestling fans go,

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 5: they follow the product. Yeah, and I think it also

63
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 5: just shows how much faith Turner has in the product too,

64
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 5: And that's another network, another show. So yeah, it seems

65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 5: like everything's heading in the right direction. So let's go

66
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 5: back to when you first arrive in AW you had

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 5: a match against Darby Darby Allen on aw Dark Great

68
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 5: Match got a lot of people talking what was going

69
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 5: through your mind with that? Did you kind of envision like,

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: oh Jesus is a one and done or were you

71
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: kind of thinking like I could see this kind of

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: developing and me staying here as a home.

73
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 6: No, So I went into it with the total intention

74
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 6: to get signed off of one match.

75
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: Because so something that.

76
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 5: That's a tall order, that that's a that's a tall order,

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: that's that's that's a good goal.

78
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 6: That's something that I've always like, I always live in

79
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 6: the mindset like don't don't like get ready for something.

80
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 6: They just always stay ready because you never know when

81
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 6: that call is gonna come. So something that QT always preaches,

82
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 6: like at the school to the newer students, like he's like,

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 6: I'll like get you a shot on Dark, but if

84
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 6: they don't sign you, when you come back to the curtain,

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 6: don't ask me to come back unless they specifically say, hey,

86
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 6: bring this guy back. So like, if you you have

87
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 6: your shot, So like, don't don't like ask to be

88
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 6: in front of the right eyes to get signed to

89
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 6: a company unless you're one hundred percent positive you will

90
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 6: get signed, because you really you can only make one

91
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 6: first impression and not to be like arrogant or cocky,

92
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 6: but I was confident that I was ready at that point. Yeah,

93
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 6: because there's a lot of people who, you know, they

94
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 6: come into this and it's like, oh, they're wrestling is

95
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 6: really good, but you know their body is not as

96
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 6: good as it should be, or they look great, but

97
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 6: you know they have two left feet type things. So

98
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 6: it's like you kind of have to go into it

99
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 6: with I mean, if you want to if you want

100
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 6: to make you have to have some sort of confidence

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 6: in yourself.

102
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: You know.

103
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, this isn't a game for those with not a

104
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 5: lot of confidence. You know, you got to have a

105
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 5: lot of areas. And I think it's what you said

106
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 5: is a good point. You know, sometimes not getting an

107
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 5: opportunity is better than getting an opportunity before you're ready. Yeah,

108
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 5: you know, And and I don't think a lot of people,

109
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 5: you know, they do training, maybe they have a set timeline,

110
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 5: like I want to be on TV in a year,

111
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 5: but a year gets there and they're not ready, but

112
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 5: they still jump the gun. And I mean I think

113
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 5: that's pretty fair. I mean, they give you the shot.

114
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 5: If it doesn't get picked up, don't ask again. I

115
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 5: think that's yeah, that's that's pretty fair.

116
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you talk about going in and showing out

117
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: and expecting to sign and a lot of people got

118
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: the attention of press advance after that Derby match, especially

119
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: the late great Brody Lee talk us through how how.

120
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 3: Did you get paired up with Brody?

121
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: Because I mean there was we we talked about this

122
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: in our group chat after that match. I was like,

123
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: this dude's gonna be be somebody to reckon with when

124
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: it comes to aw roster after having that match with

125
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: Derby and then you get paired up with Dark Order

126
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: and Brody.

127
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, so, uh, that match was the match with Darby

128
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 6: was like the very beginning of the pandemic. So I

129
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 6: don't think I don't think stuff was even shut down

130
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 6: yet because we were in Jacksonville, Like not because of

131
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 6: the pandemic. We just happened to be there that week

132
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 6: and then and then after that week got shut down,

133
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 6: so like they needed to find somewhere to film. They

134
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 6: ended up filming in uh, Georgia at QT and Cody School.

135
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 6: Like I think we filmed like six weeks of TV.

136
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 6: So that night I was there the night before or whatever,

137
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 6: just hanging out with Cody and QT and Tony was

138
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 6: there and whatever, and Brody walked in the first time

139
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 6: I ever remember Brody. We instantly bonded over over hockey

140
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 6: because I'm a huge hockey fan. I played hockey for

141
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 6: twelve years. So we bonded over hockey and UH and

Speaker 6: I was a huge Hye family fan, like in uh,

158
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 6: in college and stuff, and my favorite character was Louke Carper,

159
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 6: so like when he like said that, like, oh, this

160
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 6: is so cool, you know, like the course I want.

161
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: To do it.

162
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: It's like a full circle moment.

163
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 6: I wasn't super keen on the whole character in the

164
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 6: beginning of ten. You know, I never wore a mask,

165
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 6: and like at that point we were a heel, so

166
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 6: like you know, we were kind of a cult and

167
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 6: like I'm not like a creepy weird like you know,

168
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 6: I'm just a pretty normal like like Jim guy.

169
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, like the bros bros up for that one.

170
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 6: I don't know how like basically like I'll do my

171
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 6: best at it. But I remember telling Cody like this

172
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 6: isn't me, you know, but since Brody was so like

173
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 6: high on me, I'm like, I definitely want to do it.

174
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: And now I love the time character.

175
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I can say the mask is phenomenal, by

176
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: the way, like the Joker masks, like I've got this

177
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: one up here, but the Joker mask man, Yeah.

178
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 6: And I got a couple more being made it out

179
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 6: like different different style ones. But but like, yeah, I

180
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 6: wasn't keen on the mask.

181
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: And then.

182
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 6: Now it's like it's gave give me such more of

183
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 6: an identity even though you're covering my actual identity up. Yeah,

184
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 6: So it's like it's because it's not they're trying to

185
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 6: hide my identity because they post all over social media

186
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 6: without you know, they did the prorestling great thing with

187
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 6: staying and I had to have a mask on. But

188
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 6: it's almost like you put the mask on, now you're

189
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 6: a different person.

190
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

191
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it was, you know, from our standpoint, one

192
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 5: of the best things that we liked. And now I've

193
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 5: after everything that's happened, it means more. But you know,

194
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 5: Brody finally got that spotlight and he never really got

195
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 5: to show everything he could do up he Yeah, you know,

196
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 5: and that that was a prime example of someone taking

197
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 5: advantage of the opportunity. I mean, he shined in a

198
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 5: completely different way. I'm really glad he got that spotlight

199
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 5: before everything wrapped up the way it did. And and so,

200
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 5: you know, because I think a lot of people when

201
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 5: he came in it was just kind of like, oh great,

202
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: another w w E guy. But I mean he he

203
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 5: branched out and you know, forged his own path. So,

204
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 5: thinking back to the tribute back in December, we were

205
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 5: all a puddle of tears.

206
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 6: You know.

207
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 5: It was just so I'm a grown man and I

208
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 5: had to turn it off. I couldn't. Yeah, my anxiety.

209
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 5: I was just like, I can't, I can't do it anymore.

210
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 5: But so thinking back on that, you were handpicked for

211
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 5: the main event by Negative one. Uh there was a

212
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 5: special moment between you and Cody and the ring at

213
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 5: the end. Is that something you could repeat to us

214
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 5: what Cody said or is that just kind of a

215
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 5: special thing for you guys?

216
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 4: Oh?

217
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a It was like that was a

218
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 6: hard match to do, you know, because it was just so

219
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 6: many emotions. The show was so good though, from top

220
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 6: to bottom.

221
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 5: Already believe the best tribute to you I've ever seen. Yeah,

222
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 5: I mean it was unreal.

223
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: And I remember after after I pinned uh Ricky. I

224
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: think it was.

225
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 6: I just broke down and started crying, and then Cody

226
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 6: like he hugged me and he's he said, Brody would

227
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 6: be proud, and that was all he said.

228
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: I'm getting goosebumps right now.

229
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of like puppies and flowers.

230
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, I mean, because when you sit back, like

231
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: Eli said, I will go ahead and say this on

232
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: record that that was probably one of the if not

233
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: the best UH tribute shows that I've ever watched when

234
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: it comes to wrestling, And it's like everything that night

235
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: was great. And the fact that you know, you you

236
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: think about it, the fact that Tony Kahan gave you know,

237
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: Negative one a contract and he's there and like taking

238
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: right letting him be a part of something, because in

239
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 2: certain places you probably wouldn't see that. It would be

240
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: like a you know, thanks for being here, here's a

241
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: photo and you know, we'll do the bell letting letting

242
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: Negative one be a part of the storyline. Being out there,

243
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: like watching him hit MJF with a kindowstick was probably

244
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: the greatest thing in the world.

245
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 4: And he doesn't hold back with that thing. Man, he

246
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 4: would feel with that thing and like he can.

247
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: You could just tell like he is genuinely having fun

248
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 2: and yeah, and you could see that the entire roster

249
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: has like taken that whole family under their wings.

250
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he's like he's like I feel like

251
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 6: he's like actually my little brother. And the funny thing

252
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 6: is my mom Will was like she'll text me and

253
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 6: she's like, will send me pictures when I was his age,

254
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 6: and we look remarkably as similar, like brothers, and now

255
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 6: he has the exact.

256
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: Same haircut as me and everything. That was pretty funny.

257
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 6: And when I would go to Disney with something, we

258
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 6: walk around and he'd be like, how my back And

259
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 6: he's like, man, do you think people think we're actually brothers?

260
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, maybe we could pass it.

261
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: You know, we not too long ago, and we kind

262
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: of put this out there in the universe, and I

263
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 2: think this could actually still happen. But when we had

264
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: Matt Hardy On, he was talking about how his son

265
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: wanted a wrestling match with Negative One, So can we

266
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: see like, you know, Preston and Negative One versus Hardy

267
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: Hardy boys kind of thing. Yeah, because he was talking

268
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: he was talking about Maxwell was like, he's like, how

269
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: how old is uh?

270
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 3: Negative One?

271
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: And he told him and he's like, I think we

272
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: could have a wrestling match, Like just imagine that happening.

273
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be great. I would. I'd be sewed out

274
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 4: for that.

275
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. So I have a question kind of piggybacks off

276
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: that last one. So right after you know, you know,

277
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 5: sadly Brody passed away. I mean, was there a lot

278
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 5: of confusion within the dark order, I mean was there.

279
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 5: I mean, what what happened immediately after that? I know

280
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 5: plans had to scramble obviously, but I mean like.

281
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 6: When he when he you know, got sick and passed away.

282
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 6: We were heels at the time. Yeah, and now it's like, man,

283
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 6: you know, obviously organically.

284
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 5: We all became everybody's behind you.

285
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. So yeah, it was kind of like because I know,

286
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 4: like the Hangman thing, you.

287
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 6: Know, was going to eventually wean itself in there, but

288
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 6: now you know, it's like Brodie's not here, So now

289
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 6: we were Yeah, we were very like in limbo, like

290
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 6: where do we go from here?

291
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 4: Because now it's like, you know, none of us are

292
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 4: are like that leader, you know.

293
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, so we're all you know, relatively newer. You know,

294
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 6: we'd never wrestled for another company or whatever, so we

295
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 6: we're all new to TV basically. Yeah, so it's kind

296
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 6: of like we don't have that leading, that leading role,

297
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 6: and then we all just kind of became leaders in

298
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 6: in our own in like our own sense, you know,

299
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 6: we're all like what helps us a lot is that

300
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 6: we're all like really good friends, like like me and

301
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 6: me sober and Reynolds are man, you get get us

302
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 6: in a room, and who was just a bunch of bullshit?

303
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 4: You know.

304
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: I could see that with Silver especially, I mean, yeah, everybody,

305
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: it seems like he is the guy that everybody gravitates

306
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: towards now when it comes to the Dark Order, like

307
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: and you know, it's just funny to watch the fans

308
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: get excited about it. And of course, you know that's

309
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: that's the interesting thing when it comes to wrestling, because

310
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: like you said, when you guys first start out, you

311
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: were all heels, like you were the bad guys. When

312
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: when it was uh Stu and Evil Uno coming out,

313
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: when they first debuted as the Dark Order, it was like,

314
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: these are bad guys, we don't like him. They want

315
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: us to drink the kool aid and join the culture. Yeah,

316
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: and now it's like things have changed, and like you said,

317
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: everybody wants to join the Dark Order. So what do

318
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: you think it was that changed that to everybody wanted

319
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: to be a fan of Dark the Dark Order?

320
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 6: Honestly, I think since you know we got turned faces,

321
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 6: they just kind of let us, you know, be ourselves more,

322
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 6: which is I mean, we're all very like just fun

323
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 6: loving people. So it's you know, like the Beat East

324
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 6: I was obviously super exaggerated, like.

325
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I'm not I don't actually do drugs

Speaker 6: So it's everything's just turned up to ten like in that.

331
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,120

360
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 6: thing I you know, I treat wrestling like this is

361
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 6: like my dream job. At the end of the day,

362
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 6: it's still a job, you know. You kind of you

363

Speaker 4: My own thing.

368
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 6: As far as like me personally, I mentioned this on

369
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 6: a on a radio interview the other day. I don't

370
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 6: want a new leader of the Dark Order just because

371
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, in my eyes, you'll never replace Brody,

372
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 6: So I definitely I don't want a new leader of

373
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 6: the Dark Order.

374
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 5: Do you think you would see one, like internally, one

375
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 5: of you guys becoming the leader.

376
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 6: And maybe one the only one that would would make sense,

377
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 6: and it's very long term storytelling, is if his son

378
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 6: were to you know, ten years down the road.

379
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that that would be incredible if they started

380
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 5: planting the seeds now, like he's running it as a

381
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 5: kid from behind the scenes, and then when he becomes

382
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 5: like eighteen, it's when you you.

383
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: Know, it's like the puppet Master.

384
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 5: That's like, that's long term. I mean, that's I don't

385
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 5: I've never seen anything like that in wrestling. That be unreal.

386
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 4: He always has these like he'll like FaceTime, you know,

387
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 4: he have this idea for like eight years down the road.

388
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 3: So he's already got it.

389
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 4: He's got it. He's like, you know, you could you know,

390
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 4: you're no longer part of the Dark Order, that's not

391
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: no longer a thing. You're doing your own thing. You

392
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 4: don't have the mask. Maybe you're like a piece of shit.

393
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 6: Heel, Now I come back, you know, ten years down

394
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 6: the road and I slide you the mask like my

395
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 6: dad did, and now you're back with me.

396
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 4: I'm like, damn, that's actually a really good idea.

397
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 5: That's pretty good.

398
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: Dang, now go ahead and uh just uh, I guess

399
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: do we just ask uh negative one to just kind

400
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: of replace Cody or the.

401
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 5: Butt just be like all right, uh.

Speaker 4: When he's there, man, he tended to run run things,

406
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 4: so and.

407
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's great because like you read the

408
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 2: stories and it's like a lot of a lot of

409
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: wrestling fans are like, what happened to you know, Brody Junior?

410
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 3: Like where did he go? And his mom's like he

411
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: wasn't doing good in school, so he's not a wrestling

415
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 6: to do his homework because if he doesn't do his homework,

497
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 2: other ones that somebody had submitted as well that I

498
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: don't have up on the screen.

499
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: I got one. Yeah.

500
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 5: So we've got Rampage tonight and then we have all

501
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 5: out coming up soon. What what are you looking forward

502
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 5: most in the immediate future?

503
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: Honestly, just uh, just to see how the Dark Order

504
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 4: progresses or you know what I mean, Like, my main

505
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 4: thing that I want is the TNT title. That's the

506
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 4: that's my main goal.

507
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 5: You and Mirror, that'd be a pretty good match.

508
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 4: I get. I get that.

509
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 6: I get that tweets a lot about me versus Miro,

510
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 6: But like for me, it's like that'll always be the

511
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 6: title because just because you know, Brody had it, and

512
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 6: I say, that's like the Dark Order title. Yeah. So yeah,

513
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 6: I mean, if I if I were to pick like

514
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 6: a dream match with an AW right now, I would

515
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 6: say me versus Miro.

516
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: Worse for me, that would be amazing.

517
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: And the thing that I like what AW has been

518
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 2: doing with that title is every time it's changed that

519
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: person has changed that title to kind of match their persona.

520
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: And at first I thought I didn't know what it

521
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: was because I thought maybe, like when Darby got it,

522
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 2: it was just because they retired the TNT title for Brody.

523
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: And then then I see that Miro changed his and

524
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: explained why so if you let we have a very

525
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: good track record with people coming on this show to

526
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: go on and win the titles. We had the Young

527
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: Bucks on, they went on to win the title. We

528
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: had FTR on, They went on to win the.

529
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 5: Title I just had, and it was like a week

530
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 5: before he'd beat Max.

531
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 4: Though right before.

532
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: So you're in good hands with us being on the show.

533
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: So we expect the T and T title around your waist,

534
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: back in the Dark Order where it belongs back exactly.

535
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 3: So if you win, you win that TN T title.

536
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: Is there something that you already kind of have thought

537
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 2: in your mind of how you're gonna change it to

538
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 2: make it your own?

539
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 4: I mean definitely I'd make that strap purple. Oh yeah, ideas.

540
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 6: I had a belt created for for a little Brody,

541
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 6: like a Dark Order Championship bell. I had some guy

542
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 6: make in California and it's super cool and it has

543
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 6: like the inst in piece Brody plates and uh and

544
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 6: like a bunch of like dark order and like like tribute.

545
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 4: To his dad as well.

546
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I was like, I would, I would try

547
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 6: to do something like that with the tn T title.

548
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 5: I mean, he's probably got ideas too. He's probably got

549
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 5: about fifty design here.

550
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 6: Don't if that happens, he'll he'll just wante design, He'll
