Speaker 4: Absolutely.

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: And I want to talk about your acting for a second,

46
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: because a couple of weeks back, we were at the

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: NXT show here in Nashville, and we were watching your

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: match and I saw you just sitting in the corner

49
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh my god, like, Ricky is hurt.

50
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: Like you literally saw it on your face that something

51
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 3: was bad.

52
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 4: You were shaking. I was genuinely concerned for you.

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: And then you got all of us, So major props

54
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: to you on that one, pulling the rug under everybody

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: in Nashville.

56
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: I don't remember that. Actually, I don't remember that happening.

57
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: I remember having a great match. Yeah, the people were

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 2: loving it.

59
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: Everyone was Ricky, we love you, rick I heard some

60
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: of that too. Yeah, yeah, I didn't see you on

61
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: the crowd. Where were you.

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: I was next to the ramp in the second row

63
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 4: right there. I was visibly concerned for you. They're in

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: that match.

65
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: Thank you.

66
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: I it slipped my mind. I don't remember it happening. Sorry,

67
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: but I thank you for caring about me.

68
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: We always care about Ricky Saints here on the show.

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 3: Now, I do want to talk about it, because we're

70
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: here to talk about Vengeance Day. That NXT title could

71
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: be back in your hands where it rightfully belongs. Of course,

72
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: you're going up against Joe Hendry. How are you feeling

73
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: heading into this matchup.

74
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm feeling very confident.

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Honestly, I am relentless in my pursuit of getting that back,

76
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: only because for the past few months, more than a

77
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: few months, I've worked really hard to make NXT a place.

78
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Let me your phrases I made.

79
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: I've worked very hard to make NXT a place that

80
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: stands up to the standards that I have of myself

81
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: and what other people expect to me. Obviously, I don't

82
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: do anything half assed, or you know, anything less than

83
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: one hundred percent.

84
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: So I am very very.

85
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: Focused on getting that back the NXT Championship and making

86
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: sure none of that hard work is messed with rightfully.

87
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: So, and you talk about the time that you've spent

88
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: in NXT, and here we are celebrating coming up on

89
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: the one year anniversary of you joining n XT.

90
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: Now, looking back on this.

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: You've accomplished.

92
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've accomplished so much in just one year.

93
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 3: There is there anything looking back that you'd maybe want

94
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 3: to do a little bit differently.

95
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: From when I first came on February seventh.

96
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 2: Yep, No, No, there's nothing that I would change. Honestly,

97
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 2: I think only because what would be the point, right,

98
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: what would be the point in that if anything, if

99
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: I had to give you an answer, and I'll pull

100
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 2: it out of my wazoo. Here there were some questionable

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: outfits okay that I shouldn't have worn, but even then

102
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: I still look great.

103
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: So it's right. You know, what are we doing.

104
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: Right exactly now?

105
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: One great thing is is we've been following your career

106
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: for so long. I mean, as people that are watching

107
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: this right now on YouTube will notice the NWA Ricky

108
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: Starks trading card behind me up here.

109
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's bring it to the camera, serve. I could

110
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: see it.

111
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: Wow, collector's item right here. I had to like steal

112
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: this from my kid because he had it in his cards.

113
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 3: But you've been a part of a lot of places,

114
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: a lot of locker rooms. What is the one thing

115
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: that has kind of stood out to you with this

116
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: NXT locker room compared to other ones that you've been into.

117
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think there is an opportunity for people who

118
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: may not know a lot about wrestling, and there's an

119
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: opportunity for them to kind of sit around the learning tree,

120
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: so to speak, and further their knowledge by just being around,

121
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: by listening to stories and things like that. So it's

122
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: really cool to see that type of that type of spirit,

123
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: that type of like, oh, I'm curious. There's an inquisitive

124
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: nature that some people have in the locker room. But

125
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: I mean beyond that, it's kind of you know, it's

126
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: kind of what you would expect out of locker room.

127
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: It's the same when I was at n w A,

128
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: there were people there who were experience wise, you know,

129
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: just starting or just two years in, and they wanted

130
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: to learn more, and so they made sure their hands

131
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: were in a lot of different pots. The same thing

132
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: when I was at the other company. So you know,

133
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: it's you'll find that everywhere.

134
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: And I do. I love that part about it of

135
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: all the locker rooms.

136
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know the thing that I sit here

137
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: and look at as a wrestling fan, and it drives

138
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: me crazy. Why can't wrestling fans just be fans of wrestling?

139
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: How do they have to be like, oh, if you

140
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: like this, I can't be your friend, or if you

141
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: like that, I can't do this.

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's like you're a Titans fan, right.

143
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, yes, So it's like I'm a Saints fan. So

144
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: it's like I can't be your friend. You know, you'll

145
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: have that in every aspect. I think it's it's I

146
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: think it's a little bit more sensitive and touchy just

147
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: for the fact that we're we're all on social media

148
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: and so it's a little bit more saturated. But then

149
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: when you actually go out into the crowds and you

150
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: go to these live events like in Nashville, no one cared.

151
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: No, you know what I'm saying.

152
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: Knowing there are people who were fans of me from

153
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: aw people who were fans with me from NWA, people

154
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: who are fans of me now they all meshed, they

155
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: all share a commonality. I do think that it is

156
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: kind of cool to a certain degree that people have

157
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: such an ownership and stake in a specific company or

158
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: a specific wrestler.

159
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: I do find that I like.

160
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: The fondness of that, because if you ain't got passion

161
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: for your team, then what are you doing?

162
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: You know?

163
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: Right? Absolutely so.

164
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: And that's the thing is, like you knows as as

165
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: much of a Titans fan i am. I've got a

166
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: friend who's an Eagles fan, and like we still hang out,

167
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: we still talk football. But again, it's one of those things,

168
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: it's like I'm not gonna say, oh, you're a fan

169
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: of this team, So I'm not gonna be your friend. Like,

170
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: it's a really cool time to be a wrestling fan

171
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: because there's wrestling for everybody.

172
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely think about to think about twenty eighteen, right about

173
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, so to speak, Like when.

174
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 5: I was an NBA, it was just NWAWW. Yeah, that

175
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 5: was it, and then you had of course New Japan

176
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 5: and still like that. But it's a great time to

177
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 5: be a fan of professional wrestling, right And.

178
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: It's definitely a great time to be a Ricky Saints

179
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: fan because, uh, he is going to be the new

180
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: NXT champion after Vengeance Day. We're putting it out there

181
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 3: in the universe for sure. And uh, I gotta tell you,

182
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: watching your career, we've been big fans of yours for

183
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: a very long time. What is that one moment that

184
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: kind of stands out to you where you could fill

185
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: the crowd shift going from.

186
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 4: Like, oh we like him to oh, this dude's a star.

187
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 2: Oh man, Uh that's hard. That's hard because I felt

188
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: it twice. Obviously, the Brian Danilson match that I had,

189
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: the strap match, was really great, but there's also a

190
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: sleeper match that I don't think people really remember.

191
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: It was a big tag match. It was me Punk

192
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: FTR against the gun Club.

193
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: And it was it was in Toronto into it was amazing.

194
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: That was such a great feeling that I had where

195
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: I go, Wow, I get it. I get it now.

196
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: So I think those two like stand out in my

197
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: mind of that type of scenario. And you know, it

198
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: still happens. It's still happening for some people. So uh yeah,

199
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: it just it's kind of crazy to think about.

200
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: I love it.

201
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean you're you're born for this.

202
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: I mean not to uh you know too your own

203
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: horn and we'll give you the flowers. I mean, you

204
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: are a star and we're gonna see it one day,

205
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: Ricky Saints versus your friend and I'm gonna put this

206
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 3: out in the universe Cody Roads at WrestleMania. I think

207
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: that that's a match that I think a lot of

208
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: people kind of want to see. And you know, Cody

209
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 3: obviously a big parts of your wrestling journey.

210
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: How has that friendship with him evolved?

211
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 3: And what is something that he's kind of helped you

212
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: with backstage that you could talk about?

213
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: Uh, well, the friendship in itself is great because you know,

214
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if he sees a younger kid in me,

215
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: you know, when he was first starting out.

216
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would think so, but I really

217
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: don't know.

218
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: But he's great in the fact that there are there

219
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: things that you know, I'm figuring out on my own,

220
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: and there are there are little pockets that I kind

221
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: of miss right, and he is great at identifying those

222
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: pockets and giving me words of wisdom that allow me

223
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: to ultimately guide myself to what it is that I

224
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: should be learning or figuring out. He's really really good

225
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: at that. He's really good at giving you a perspective

226
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: and you ultimately being like, oh, okay, I get it now,

227
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 2: that's I can't. It's so undervalued in that sense because

228
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: you're usually used to people like physically showing you this

229
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: or doing that right, And since we don't live very

230
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: close to each other, it's hard. So when we do

231
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: have these moments where we do see each other and

232
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: we talk, the conversations are in debt. They have such

233
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: a deep magnitude to him of like life and ship

234
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: outside of wrestling, you know what I'm sayings all of it.

235
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: So he's been very impactful in my career.

236
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: I end in my life too.

237
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: Personally and professionally, so I can't really think him too

238
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: much on that.

239
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely a good friend to have in your corner

240
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: for sure, of course.

241
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.

242
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 3: Ricky Saints is our guest on the show right now.

243
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: Got a big match NXT Vengeance Day, big, big, big

244
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: match for him and Joe Hendry. Now, speaking of some

245
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: other big names outside of Ricky Saints, there's been guys

246
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: like seeing Punk somebody you know. Trick Williams as well,

247
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: had small roles previously in WW is kind of like,

248
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: I guess, enhancement or extras in a way. What was

249
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: that moment that you knew you would be back at

250
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 3: a much larger and more important role like you're in now,

251
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: other than being like a security guard and a cop.

252
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I think I really think it was

253
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: I got put through the ORI back I'm telling you

254
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: I how to do that stuff three times. I think

255
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: that wasn't like the for sure moment because I was

256
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: back there you know, thereafter, But that was a moment

257
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: where I go, Wow, this will be the funniest story

258
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: when I come back here and take it over. I

259
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: had another thought about that when I didn't get called

260
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: for the tryout and then I think when I didn't

261
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: get called for the tryout, I may have had one

262
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: match after that, and it was a tag match with

263
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: Aaron Solo on a raw and I do remember that

264
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: being a situation where I drove home and I was like,

265
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: the next time I come that's it. The next time

266
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: I come back here will be I'll be signed here.

267
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: And that may have been the last time I ever

268
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: did anything extra wise. You know, there are people who

269
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: can look that up. But yeah, that was like the

270
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: two moments, the right back one for sure though, when

271
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: I'm getting tune, I slept in my face. Yeah, when

272
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: I come back, it's gonna be over for y'all.

273
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: And it's definitely gonna be over for that NXT roster

274
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: once Ricky Saints becomes the new NXT World Heavyweight Champion

275
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: after beating Joe Hendry.

276
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: Good, doesn't it like just say, it just rolls all

277
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: the tongue?

278
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: It does? I mean, it needs to be on your

279
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: waist when w W two K twenty six comes out
