44
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 6: let's kind of just jump right into it. Let's rip

45
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 6: the band aid off real quick. Bound for glory had

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 6: to be a full range of emotions for you. I mean,

47
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 6: can you describe the feeling of not only defeating a

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 6: Hall of Famer in Canadian legend Christian Cage the Impact

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 6: Championship and then literally not even getting to celebrate with

50
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 6: your family in the ring and Moose comes in and

51
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 6: cashes it in right there in front of your family.

52
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: Talk about that to us.

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've talked about this, like in several different ways

54
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: since it's happened, you know, six months ago. But I

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: think the best way to describe it was the way

56
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: I came to my text messages.

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: Once I finally got to the locker room in the back.

58
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: It was probably fifteen different text messages all the same,

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, dude, congrats, you've heard it. You've done

60
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: so much and finally you got this opportunity. You're doing this,

61
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: you can do things. And then two minutes later another

62
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: blue bubble.

63
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: Oh sorry dude.

64
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you know, it was like, like I've said,

65
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: it's the highest high of my career and you know,

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: also the lowest low. And what's happened in the six

67
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: months between then and now has only fueled the fire

68
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: and made the story more interesting and put us at

69
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: this point. Now we're heading into rebellion on Saturday. Yeah,

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: see how this is gonna be.

71
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: It's gonna be brutal.

72
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: He I was.

73
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 5: I was preoccupied at a bound for Golers.

74
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: I didn't get to watch live and.

75
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: Battle text He's like, dude, Josh got it, Like, holy crap,

76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 5: that's awesome, you know, And then two minutes later, are

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 5: you ready?

78
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: I was like ready for what? And he sent me there.

79
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: I was like tonight what.

80
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

81
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: So I think that's a lot of people's like just

82
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 5: disbelieve you know. I think it was honestly one of

83
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 5: the craziest cash ins I mean ever, I mean whether

84
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: it was impact ww I mean that I don't think

85
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 5: anyone really I did not see it coming at all.

86
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 5: So yeah, I can't imagine how you felt for six months.

87
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 5: Just like, okay, one more day, here we go before

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 5: we kind of get into all things impact. This is

89
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 5: more just kind of a fun question.

90
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: How crazy was.

91
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: Your phone and social media the week you were mentioned

92
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 5: on aw programming by Brandy Rhoads.

93
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: Was it just crazy? Well?

94
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'm a guy that, like, I got kids

95
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: and a wife and stuff. When I'm home during the week,

96
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: I like to put my phone down for the most

97
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: part to try to, you know, live in the moment. Yeah,

98
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: live in the moment. And my phone was down as usual,

99
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: and I usually pick it up periodically and I picked

100
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: it up and looked at it, and I had like

101
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: twenty five different textas I was like, oh, you know, and.

102
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: Automatically I think, what's going on? But here we go.

103
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: Thankfully because of like Twitter and social media, I don't

104
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: immediately go to you know, what, tragedy just occurred or

105
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: something like that. Now I'm just like, oh, something's buzzing,

106
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, which was like the silver

107
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: lining of that whole thing, I guess, but yeah, just a.

108
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: Ton of message to me, like dude, do you know what?

109
00:04:59,760 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: Just ha?

110
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: And it was in Milwaukee, and I've got like a

111
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: pretty big following in Chicago in the Midwest from like

112
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: doing aaw for the past ten plus years, so I

113
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: had like people from there that were at the show

114
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: live and heard it and everybody just like freaking out.

115
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: And it only like with the whole contract thing being

116
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: in flux at that time, I think that only fueled

117
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,559
Speaker 1: the fire for all like the rumor mill and stuff

118
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: like that. So it definitely helped my situation a little bit.

119
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was crazy.

120
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 6: It was crazy because that's what we kind of thought

121
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 6: because like you said, I mean that was in that

122
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 6: contract time of like you had just finished with Impact.

123
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: There was all that what's happening next?

124
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 6: And then she mentions you on AW and like the

125
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 6: IWC went nuts that, like, is Josh.

126
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 3: Coming to AW? Is him and Ethan gonna get back together?

127
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: Is this the sign? Because everybody looks for those little.

128
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 6: Easter eggs And I was like, I really feel like

129
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 6: there's something telling me that he is coming back to

130
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 6: Impact Wrestling. I was like, you can't not leave not

131
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 6: getting the title back, and sure enough we got it.

132
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 6: And you know, that's that's the great thing. It's because

133
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 6: like it was that hole, where's Josh can end up next?

134
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 6: Are we're going to see him at this place? This place,

135
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 6: this place?

136
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: And then you showing.

137
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 6: Up after Moose had had a match, getting getting revenge

138
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 6: there and then showing off that contract that you signed.

139
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 6: I got goosebumps and I'm getting it right now thinking

140
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 6: about that. That that moment when I saw it on

141
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 6: Twitter and I was like, holy crap moment. And you know,

142
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 6: we recently read some comments, read your recent comments about

143
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 6: Impact Wrestling being almost viewed as a stepping stone, you know,

144
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 6: and for the longest time that was kind of like

145
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 6: a strong perception. I mean, it even felt like wrestlers

146
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 6: believed that all that they always had Impact as a

147
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 6: backup or fallback plan if they went somewhere bigger and

148
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 6: then they're like, oh, we got cut and they came

149
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 6: back here.

150
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: Uh what with that stigma in mind?

151
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 6: As well as your partner in the North Ethan page

152
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 6: jumping to AW, what were some of the biggest factors

153
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 6: in re signing with Impact?

154
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: It was an easy decision for me, man Like, right now,

155
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that's changed in the pro

156
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: wrestling landscape, especially for like free agents and professional wrestlers,

157
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: is you need to be in the top ten percent

158
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: of talent, regardless of whatever you have to offer. You

159
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: have to be the top ten percent to have a

160
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: job now in one of those sustainable positions that any

161
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: of these companies Impact included, because you know, as you've

162
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: seen with AW signing up everybody that they can and

163
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: all this other stuff, it's just like the waters are

164
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: kind of picked dry a little bit, and like whoever's

165
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: left is kind of fighting for whatever's left. But like

166
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: the thing that made my decision so much easier, I

167
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: never planned on leaving everything that occurred, the Brandy comment

168
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: my visa not coming in thus making my contract kind

169
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: of you know, up in the air, and all this

170
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: other stuff that all just occurred like organically, and even

171
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: Ethan Page working Christian Cage on Rampage and Christian's last

172
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: singles match was against me at Dalford, like the synergy

173
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: or whatever that was involved in to make like the

174
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: IWC community go crazy and speculate that all just happened,

175
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: like none of it was planned on any of our parts,

176
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: and if it was, it was by somebody that nobody

177
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: has admitted to me yet.

178
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: So it was all cool.

179
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: But like for me, Impact gave me an opportunity when

180
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: no other company would. I was in contact with the

181
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: people at AW before Impact Ever considered signing me and

182
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: approached me, and they had told me that they were

183
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: not interested in me as a singles wrestler. Impact then

184
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: came along and signed me, and before the North Ever

185
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: came to be, they were preparing to push me as

186
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: a singles talent. When I debuted, like I did vignettes,

187
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: I did video stuff that was never aired as me

188
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: being a singles person. And then when I showed up

189
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: my first day at work, there was like, actually, we're

190
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna put in the tag team with even Page.

191
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: Like, oh great, like we fit together, like not.

192
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: This guy again, Yeah, you know what I mean.

193
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: So like it all just kind of came to be.

194
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: But like Impact, I'm a big fan of, like just

195
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: being loyal man. And then like I was such a

196
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: big fan of TNA back in the day, like the

197
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: aj South, Samoa, Joe Loki stuff, Like I've said it

198
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: till I'm blue in the face. Those are the guys

199
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: that got me into wrestling, made me love pro wrestling again,

200
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: and made me even want to like try to do

201
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: this as a career. So being here now it means

202
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: the world to me, and like it has nothing to

203
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: do with being Expedition Champion, World Champion anything like that.

204
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: This is the place I want to be because I

205
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: feel like since I've joined the company, I have seen

206
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: this company grow. I've seen the locker room just improve

207
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: with every transaction of somebody coming in, you know what

208
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean. And everybody in our locker room, from the

209
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: most experienced of like the Eric Young to the Jay

210
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: White who comes in now from New Japan, everybody has

211
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: a chip on their shoulder. We all have something to prove.

212
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: We all believe in this product. And I think that

213
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: Impact is going to grow because of that. We're all

214
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: hungry and this is the place I want to be.

215
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: I want to be around hungry people that want to

216
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: work well.

217
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 5: And it's pretty crazy because you sometimes especially I mean

218
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: we'll use Impact as an example, but I mean there're

219
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 5: sometimes companies, organizations, whatever. I mean, you start massive and

220
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 5: you kind of have to start whittling it down and

221
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 5: kind of formulating your vision and then you know who

222
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: you're gonna attach the wagons to. But I'll say I

223
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 5: mean since Anthem took over, I mean, Impact Wrestling is like.

224
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: Nothing else on TV. I mean, it's just the production.

225
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 5: I even remember that like the Impact House, which was

226
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 5: kind of like the real World and all that, Like

227
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 5: that was awesome.

228
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 4: I mean I love that.

229
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 5: I mean it was kind of funny, kind of lighthearted

230
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 5: and you know, trying to keep your mind off things

231
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 5: with the pandemic. I mean there's just so many different things,

232
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 5: you know, with Rosemary and the other world. I mean

233
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 5: there's just so many different things. That's kind of a

234
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 5: you know, something for everybody. This is kind of a

235
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 5: bouncing off that one, what do you like best about

236
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 5: working as a tag team?

237
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: And then what do you like best about doing your

238
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 4: own thing solo.

239
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 2: I mean the tag team thing.

240
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Like, if I'm looking at this from a pro wrestling perspective,

241
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: I think a tag team match, like most people refer

242
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: to gimmick matches as like a teals match or a

243
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: cage match or something. To me, one of like the

244
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: biggest tidbits of information I got young in my career,

245
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: and I can't remember who it was. It was an

246
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: ex TV veteran, like it could have been Hacksawgem Duggan

247
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: or somebody. I can't remember who said it, but they

248
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: said a tag team match is a gimmick match, and

249
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: for that reason, and that reason alone, there should be

250
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: no reason why a tag team match shouldn't be the

251
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: show sealing match on every single card, because you have

252
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: so many things at your disposal. You have two people

253
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: on the apor, and you have all this excitement you

254
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: can get in. You can use the ref as long

255
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: as you use them properly and adhere to the rules,

256
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, all these things exactly, and it's

257
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: all it's all tools in your tool belt to help

258
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: add emotion and excitement to your match to get the

259
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: fans more invested. Thus having a better match, and it

260
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: really stuck to heart with myself and Ethan Page, and

261
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, we really wanted to like do that, and

262
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: that's why when we showed up an impact, I think

263
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: we were so successful because we just you know, we

264
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: hammered out that we were sticking to the rules even

265
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: though we're bad guys. You know, the ref's not going

266
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: to see whatever we do wrong and all this other stuff,

267
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to the best matches possible. That

268
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: and then the singles could the reason why, Like I

269
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: enjoy Like, I'll admit I enjoy the single stuff more,

270
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: but that's only because I really enjoyed the pressure. So

271
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: when me and Ethan were facing the Good Brothers or something,

272
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's a big matchup and all this other stuff.

273
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: But I have somebody to share the stress with in

274
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: that situation, if that makes any sense. But now, like dude,

275
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: going in about for glory against Christian, biggest match of

276
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: my career at that point, wrestling this legend that I

277
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: watched when I was ten years old, you know what

278
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Like a fellow Canadian grew up an hour

279
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: for me. You know, like all the pressure in the

280
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: world I'm backed against the wall, and it's just about

281
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: challenging myself to see whether I can rise to the

282
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: occasion and the.

283
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: Amount of adrenaline you get from that.

284
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's match and that's why I like

285
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: I enjoy creating things as a single star.

286
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: Yeah h And of.

316
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 6: This because there's a guy inside the Impact roster, Matt

317
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 6: card Done, probably one of the hottest free agents in

318
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 6: the world and as the current Impact Digital Media Champion

319
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 6: as well as the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion.

320
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: Now let me ask you this.

321
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 6: When you win the Impact World title, because we're saying that,

322
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 6: are you going to defend it all over the world

323
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 6: or do you just prefer to defend it in an

324
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 6: Impact ring.

325
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there's gonna be an Impact

326
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: show where you won't see me gladly and willingly wanting

327
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: to defend that World Championship against any and all takers

328
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: at all times. I think that's what a world champion,

329
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, the person representing the company should do. But yes,

330
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: in addition to that, I plan on defending this World

331
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: championship every single place, all over the world against anybody

332
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: that wants, you know, to step up and challenge for it,

333
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: because I think that, you know, if I'm going to

334
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: help impact as a brand, especially as a champion, and

335
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: you know it will help my own brand. Two, not

336
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: gonna lie, but like, if I can take that championship

337
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: around the world, defender gets the very best and we're

338
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: gonna get more eyes on me and more eyes on

339
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: the company.

340
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: M hm.

341
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 4: Does the does the belt make the man or the

342
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: man make the belt?

343
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at Moose's run, I think

344
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: the man has to make the belt and the belt

345
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: doesn't look very great right now.

346
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: So you know I could use a shine.

347
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: Up, especially on the terms of how he won the belt.

348
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, we asked, we asked this question of

349
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 5: the Good Brothers recently and kind of get your opinion

350
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 5: on it. This maybe goes to someone you know, maybe

351
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 5: not in the spotlight every week, but who who would

352
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: you consider the MVP of the Impact roster right now?

353
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: Oh, that that is a tough question because I wouldn't

354
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: want to single anybody out or forget.

355
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 4: I know there's a lot that could take that title

356
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: for sure.

357
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

358
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: But like when I said that, like this whole locker

359
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: room has a chip on their shoulder. I mean, like, dude,

360
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: if you were to tell me like three months ago

361
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: this question, Tasha Steel one of the first people I said,

362
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: because I was just like, I know how good she is,

363
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: I know what she's capable of, and now everybody's seeing

364
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: it as you know, knock as champions and stuff like that.

365
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: But like from all the way down, man, Steve Macklin,

366
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: somebody that sticks out my mind, you know, as like

367
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: somebody that was in the ex vision that's probably like

368
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: teetering on his way getting towards the heavyweight division that

369
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: I could see, you know, on my radar in the

370
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: future and stuff like that, and just the stuff that

371
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: he's been turning out since he showed up an Impact.

372
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's really shown everybody this identity that I

373
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: don't think anybody saw what he was an NXT andwe before.

374
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's there's just a long list.

375
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 6: I think we just found out who might try to

376
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 6: challenge Josh for that world title after he wins it

377
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 6: on Saturday. I guess it might be Steve going after

378
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 6: that bout if he's on your radar. So I mean,

379
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 6: I'll buy a ticket for that. Hopefully it's at a

380
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 6: show in Nashville, but then again, I'll travel. It doesn't

381
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 6: matter to me. So you know, I just talked about

382
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 6: Steve and once you win the title after Saturday, because

383
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 6: again we're putting it out in the un verse, because

384
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 6: it's gonna happen. Who are some opponents at the top

385
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 6: of your list of contenders for when you become that

386
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 6: new Impact World Champion?

387
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 3: Of course, well you just mentioned Steve, but is there

388
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: anybody else?

389
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: Uh?

390
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: I could see Speedball Mike Bailey hot on my trail

391
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: whether or not, you know, that.

392
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 4: Was a huge gift for Impact.

393
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 5: Sorry, I mean that was massive and for the people

394
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 5: that don't know, especially in the States, that's an incredible

395
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 5: get Sorry sorry.

396
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I totally dude. He signed his contract

397
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: on my back. Yeah, you know, like I I was

398
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: so happy for him, you know, and I knew the

399
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: second that any eyes got on him and you got

400
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: that visa.

401
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: It was just gonna be like a rocket shit.

402
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I can see him being hot on the

403
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: trail if he wants to jump out of the X

404
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: division and you know, skip straight to the heavy division.

405
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: I think the matches we can put on are going

406
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: to be, you know, unlike anything anybody's seen in impact

407
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: wrestling a very long time.

408
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 2: But like, you can't count.

409
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Anybody out, man, Like I said that roster from like

410
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: Steve One, Mike Bailey, Macklin, Eric Young, Eddie Edwards, and

411
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: you got Matt Taven and Mike Bennett jumping in there

412
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: all the way down. Man, I can't like single anybody

413
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: out specifically because that it could be anybody.

414
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 5: Well, and when it comes to the world title, people

415
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 5: do obviously some nefarious things, as judging by Moose, you know.

416
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 5: So yeah, that'll be, that'll be. I'm sure the matches

417
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 5: you're gonna have are gonna be ridiculous. This one is

418
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 5: a fun one because I mean we kind of do

419
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 5: these kind of questions all the time, so I'm sure

420
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 5: you can relate. Can you name your personal top five

421
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 5: greatest Canadian wrestlers of all time.

422
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, dude, I get asked this question every ding.

423
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 5: I was gonna say in the in the in the

424
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 5: States were always like what you're Mount Rushmore? But of

425
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: course I didn't know what you guys had in Canada

426
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 5: comparable to that, So anyway, whatever.

427
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: I just remember saying this like two weeks ago, and

428
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: somebody was shocked by my number five.

429
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 3: But uh, I'm.

430
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: Just gonna make sure I sail the same names.

431
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: Brett Hard is number one, you know what I mean

432
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: for Canadians As a young Canadian fan, you know, it

433
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: was like eight years old when he discovered wrestling.

434
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: I found out Brett Hart was from Canada.

435
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

436
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: And then you you know, you.

437
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: Grow up and you become a wrestler and you realize

438
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: how actually, you know, perfect he was as a professional

439
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: wrestler that like, you know, it's only that much more admirable.

440
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah him and Owen Uh.

441
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: I mean him, Owen Edge Jericho and yeah, my fifth

442
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: was Sammy's Aim.

443
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 5: So underrated, I mean, idted. He gets his moments here

444
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 5: and there. I think he obviously shined a little bit

445
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 5: more before.

446
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 4: Current Company. But you know, it's fun. How do you

447
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 4: tiptoe around, like, how do you anyways, No, he's incredible.

448
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: I was.

449
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 5: It's always tough because then you kind of you could

450
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 5: throw in Christian you know, you could throw in Landstorm.

451
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 5: I mean there's I mean, there's so many there's so

452
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 5: many guys from Canada.

453
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, the man you do not mention from Calgary.

454
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: There's like there's a ton you know what I mean.

455
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: And but if people skip over the Quebec scene that

456
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: was like so prominent back.

457
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say, he's got his little Kevin

458
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 5: Owen shirt on right now. Yeah, excuse me, Kevin my Steenwolf,

459
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 5: Yeah steen Wolf. But yeah, going back to Brad, I mean,

460
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 5: you know, it's so like I mean, it's almost like

461
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 5: otherworldly going back and watching. I mean I flipped on

462
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 5: uh something. It wasn't even like.

463
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 4: A pay per views, just like a Super Superstars or

464
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 4: Raw or something. He was fighting. I don't even know

465
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 4: it was.

466
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 5: It wasn't like a big match, but I mean like

467
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 5: it would be like things like you know, someone reversed

468
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 5: hit him with the clothesline, he goes down, they pin

469
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 5: and he kicks up instantly. Because it was like at

470
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 5: the very beginning of the match, and then five minutes

471
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 5: later the guy gets a one count and he kicks

472
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 5: up and it's like you can tell the guys wearing

473
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 5: him down, you know, And it's just like stuff like that.

474
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 5: It's just like it's just incredible. It's the small stuff,

475
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 5: you know, and it's just yeah, you know, it's sorry.

476
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 5: We could we could talk about brad Hart all part

477
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 5: two of the episode.

478
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

479
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: The way I describe it to like young wrestling students

480
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: and anybody that does seminars with me and stuff like

481
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: that is always that like Brett, the things that he

482
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: did in the ring. Me as a kid watching and

483
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: as a fan watching, I may not have noticed. The

484
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: casual fam might not notice these things like consciously, but

485
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: subconsciously those things that you're talking about, like the quicker

486
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: kickouts and like the progressive the progressive beat down and

487
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: all the other stuff that is something that's subconsciously every

488
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: human being watching, anybody with eyes can digest and understand,

489
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it's just not the

490
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: obvious things that are done, but it's the stuff that

491
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: isn't so obvious that yeah, it's so special.

492
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's kind of like him and I think

493
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 5: him and Rick Flair kind of both had this mentality.

494
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 5: But it's just like, you know, they wanted these matches

495
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 5: to look like real fights. I mean they wanted they

496
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 5: wanted it to look like when the Undertaker's kicking him,

497
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 5: I mean he's really like, oh, you know, and and

498
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff, and yeah, I mean it's

499
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 5: just okay, sorry, we.

500
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: Can do this for hours.

501
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I should have worn I've got a Brett Hart

502
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 5: ugly sweater that like glow lights up and everything like

503
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 5: that's I should have worn that for this.

504
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 6: Should have Oh man, So let me ask this because

505
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 6: Impact for the most part, has been on the upward

506
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 6: swing since the new management came to power, and it's

507
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 6: been phenomenal.

508
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 3: No pun intended a j style shout out.

509
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 6: But what can Impact, Yes, what can Impact do to

510
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 6: further carve out their own voice within pro wrestling while

511
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 6: also expanding their audience for new crowds.

512
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: Oh dude, I think I think we're like, it's all

513
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: building the right way. I think the locker room we've

514
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: put together is perfect. You know, it's all hungry people

515
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: that want to work. Like I said before, but like

516
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: like that SoundBite or whatever quote that I had from

517
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: earlier the week where I said that, you know, I

518
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: didn't like that impact was used as a stepping stone.

519
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: I think that that rings true. I think that like

520
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: when we build stars, we need to retain them and

521
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, to continue stuff like that. And I think

522
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: we need to just keep growing the roster in the

523
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: same way we are, Like like Deanna, the stuff she's

524
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: done since she came in like two years ago is

525
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: like next like barn I'm probably the best stuff that

526
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: impacts done, you know what I mean. And then now

527
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, you have her against Taiya this Saturday night

528
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: for rebellion, and someone like Taya I think would be

529
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: like a valuable part of this locker room and stuff

530
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: like that. We just need to we need to address

531
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: that stuff. And I think that that's everything that's happening already.

532
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's like a mistake or anything,

533
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: because it's happening. But you know, working with New Japan

534
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: and getting some big matches there, like me getting to

535
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: wrestle Suzuki and Jay White being involved, you know, the

536
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: Bullet Club and stuff has been you know, very big

537
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: for us. And if we can continue stuff like that

538
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: and bringing in people like that. I think it's just

539
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: going to bring more eyes to us and that's.

540
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: All we need. Man.

541
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: I think Impact, you know, we had a really great

542
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: run and I think like a lot of eyes fell

543
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: off in the dark ages of those mid twenty tens

544
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, you know.

545
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: What I mean. But like it's been, it's rebounded very

546
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: nicely and.

547
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: It's some of the best product out there. And I

548
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: think all of it takes is for people to get

549
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: us second chance, and once they do, all those eyes

550
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: are going to be retained. It's just whether or not

551
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: we get them to click on that for that one time.

552
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: That's the first goal.

553
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

554
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you the event that got me back.

555
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 5: It was was it Homecoming? Was it twenty eighteen battle?

556
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 5: I think it was twenty eighteen at the fair grounds

557
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 5: the fair Grounds, Yeah, it was either twenty eighteen twenty nineteen,

558
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 5: I remember, But is that the Nationale Fairgrounds?

559
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: And uh, I mean, like I don't remember.

560
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 5: The main Well, the main event I think was Brian

561
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 5: Cage against someone.

562
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: It was Brian Cage versus Johnny.

563
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 4: Impact, that's right. But the match that.

564
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: Dude from Survivor was there cost him the match?

565
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: That's right?

566
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but I mean we saw Luca Brothers versus

567
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 5: Lax and a tag team match and that was my

568
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 5: match of the year.

569
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it was just on Credle. I mean, you know, we.

570
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 5: Saw the car like okay, skip skips whatever, you know,

571
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 5: and then we sat down and watched that.

572
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 4: It's just like what it is, you know.

573
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: And I mean, so that was four years ago, so

574
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 5: I think it was just like that whole like, you know,

575
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 5: shedding the image of you know, the WWE rejects or

576
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 5: having the Legends come in and run the Asylum and

577
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 5: you do it. You know, kind of had to cut

578
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 5: all that out, and now it's like we're gonna put

579
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 5: on an incredible pro wrestling product, you know. So yeah,

580
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 5: So getting back to Rebellion, your chance to reclaim the belt.

581
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 5: It's kind of weird calling you a former champ because

582
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 5: you only had it for a short time, you know,

583
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 5: Like I keep saying, like you're finally gonna win.

584
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 4: It, but I guess technically win it.

585
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 6: But on this show, we did not say he's a

586
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 6: former champ, because he is a champ.

587
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, there we go.

588
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, what are your keys to victory to reclaiming the

589
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 5: world title against Moose this weekend at Rebellion.

590
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean, as much as it's been said over the

591
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: past few months, this whole keeping my emotions in check.

592
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: I think I'm smart enough to know the reasons why

593
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: Moose has done the things he's done.

594
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: He's hoping that, you.

595
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: Know, cooler heads will not prevail, and then I'll get

596
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: myself into more trouble. Then he'll be able to get

597
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: me in, you know, because I think that if you

598
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: look at it, I honestly think on the the scouting report,

599
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: I stack up pretty nicely against Moose in the experience

600
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: and the just the raw wrestling ability and skill.

601
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 2: You know, Moose is a great athlete.

602
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: I'll give him all of that, but I don't think

603
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: in a wrestling match that Moose is going to match

604
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: me blow for blow, you know, in the IQ range, especially,

605
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: so you know, it's just about me keeping my cool

606
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: and understanding what got me here, because I found all

607
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: the success, especially in the past three years here in

608
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: impact wrestling, and the one thing that can really screw

609
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: that up is me getting.

610
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: Out of my zone. Yeah, you know, I think I

611
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: just need to be conscious of that. For sure.

612
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: He can definitely get under people's skin.

613
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: Known for that.

614
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 6: So this is kind of a fun thing that I'm

615
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 6: just kind of going off course for a quick second.

616
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 6: And now that you're you're resigned with Impact. Your there,

617
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 6: let's jump in the time machine. I guess go back

618
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 6: to the early TNA days, NWAT and A days.

619
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 3: Who would you want to have a match with? From

620
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: those early.

621
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: Days we're talking like asylum years.

622
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 3: Asylum years. I was there every Wednesday night pay per

623
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 3: view for those bad.

624
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: Boys, so jealous, uh and I and I will.

625
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 6: Show you before you answer this. This was from one

626
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 6: of those asylum days right here.

627
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: That's me.

628
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the early Asylum days.

629
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I might have some strange picks for you,

630
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, Jerry Lynn.

631
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 2: Were probably very high on that list. Man.

632
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: That's the early ex division stuff like the AJ styles

633
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: that you see today. I don't think would be that

634
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: AJ styles if he didn't face Jerry Lynn in all

635
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: those matches.

636
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: Ye right, you know, like the.

637
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: Whole thing like that, because to me, the X division

638
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: is what made Impact special in the beginning, and then

639
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years in they added the

640
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: Knockout Division and that made it even more special because

641
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: they were really the first and when to do the

642
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: whole you know women's revolution type thing, you know that

643
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: is happening INNA years before it.

644
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: Happened way forward thinking.

645
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, yeah.

646
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: But the X Division, like I said, was the thing

647
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: that hooked me and really made me become a fan.

648
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: I think Jerry Lynn was like the lynchpin of that

649
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: division in the early days and really help people like

650
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: low Key and AJ Styles and Amazing Red and all

651
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: those people that you know really hooked.

652
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: Me as a fan. So he would be probably my

653
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: number one pick.

654
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just got news he's going to be teaching

655
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 5: up here at a wrestling school in the Nashville Airy Like,

656
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 5: holy crap, that's a humongous git. So yeah, yeah, this

657
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 5: is one more and then we'll kind of wrap it

658
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 5: up unless he has anything. Was there any team that

659
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 5: you faced while you were in the North that you

660
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 5: were just you can't believe, like good brothers. I never

661
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 5: thought we'd see anything like that. I mean, did you

662
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 5: guys have a match where you're just like, I can't

663
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 5: believe we're about to have this match. Was there any

664
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 5: that stood out in your time in the North.

665
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: The MotorCity machine Guns match?

666
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, that's what I was thinking yeah.

667
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah the day after Slammiversary, because I remember

668
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: they showed up to Slamiversary. We didn't know about it,

669
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: like they were even on the pay per view until

670
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: we got there, because it was like a surprise for everybody.

671
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: And oh wow.

672
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,760

Speaker 1: really in contact with anybody, but we saw them showing

674
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: like oh and then somebody mentioned it's like, oh, I
