Man. I'd rather I'd rather just 63 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: throw punchers you know what I mean. That's why I 64 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: like movie time. But the emotional stuff I can't let 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: out until I get in that ring and have a microphone. 66 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: So people like, Oh, everything you says feel so real 67 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: because it is the reaction from everyone that I've heard, 68 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: especially when I told people that I was talking to you, 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: was a lot of what you just said, which is, 70 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: he's never cut a promo in his life. He's just 71 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: talking to me, and it's such this overwhelming wave of it. 72 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: And I've always said this about professional wrestling. I said, 73 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: it's the most purest form of art because it's the 74 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: literal blood, sweat, and tears on an actual canvas. Right. So, 75 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: there was an American artist back in the day named 76 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: Jackson Pollock, and it was hard for American artists. It's 77 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: hard for them to get the fame and recognition because 78 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: our country was so young, right, And him and a 79 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: group of other artists were the first ones to really 80 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: break through. And if and for those who don't know, 81 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: his paintings were just madness on canvas. It was just 82 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: like he vomited every hateful feeling he ever had and 83 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: it just clicked with people. And just talking to you now, man, 84 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: like you even said, like, that's so many compliments. I 85 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: don't know what to do. I'm uncomfortable in my skin. 86 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: People can't see you, but I saw you actually like, yeah, 87 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get out of your skin. So you 88 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: can talk about that if you can. Man, you said 89 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: it's therapy. What break that down even more if you 90 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: can't because you guys aren't scripted, you get to say 91 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: what's going on? Well, even if we were scripted. Uh, 92 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: I've been in lower level promotions. I gets compared to 93 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: a w I don't mean disrespect where they you know, 94 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: they'll write stuff out for you and I always just 95 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: ask some hey, can I beat myself? I know there's 96 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: this whole thing with wrestlers against writers or fans against writers. 97 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: Let's all relax, you know what I mean. It's all 98 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: calmed down. Everything goes together at some point, you know 99 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: what I mean. But I don't know. Man. I'm an 100 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: Irish you know, Irish Porto Richard Catholic from the Bronx originally, 101 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: and I got a lot of guilt. Man, I got 102 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: a lot of Catholic guilt, you know. So that's why 103 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: I don't like I always feel like I'm not good 104 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: enough for I always feel like I have more to 105 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: give and more to prove. It's just the thing. So listen. 106 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: My dad was Puerto Rican, my mother's Irish. Okay, I'm 107 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: I too.

They make me 109 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: want to throw up. That's why I said I prefer insults. 110 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: They're much more motivating. I love making the people who 111 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: say those insults have to eat it. Every time they 112 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: see my face like that feels so good. And if 113 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: they ever come around and go, hey, I was wrong 114 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: about you, I hate that.

I was like the Christopher 170 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: Columbus of the grandkids. I saw the tail end of 171 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: a lot of bad things. And that kind of sticks 172 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: with you, you know what I mean. And it just 173 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: stuck with me over time, you know. And I also 174 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: learned that no one talks. No one talks about nothing, 175 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like my parents, like you said, 176 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: everything's up trying to rainbows. There would be inside my 177 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: grandmother's house, my grandmother Mary's house, madness the bronx. Yeah, 178 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: it would be just madness in the house. But as 179 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: soon as we walked outside, they used to call it, 180 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: being like the Kennedy's, we would just wave everything's great, 181 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: No one knows nothing, everything's great. Yeah. Yeah, my nephew 182 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: just threw someone through it. When it doesn't matter. Everything's 183 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: good outside in public, it's a hard bubble to break, 184 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: even though it's such a fragile bubble, right like anyone 185 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: else can burst it. But when you're in the family, 186 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: you can't. Like my pop hops he funked around with 187 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: drugs and he shot himself on my mom's birthday right 188 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: in the right in the fucking head. And and that 189 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: was a rap. And I remember I was being interviewed 190 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: by Jim Rome and I've hated him after this and 191 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: make him like that. He went from the nicest question 192 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: in the world too. So you know your dad committed suicide. 193 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about putting a gun to your 194 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: head and committed suicide? And I literally was just like 195 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to kill him, but I did that little 196 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: Kennedy wave that you demonstrated. You really use your promos. 197 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: I believe you when you say this. I don't think 198 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: you're shooting me at all, you know. And now that 199 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: you're telling me all this, I'm like going back through 200 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: every problem seeing you cutt and I'm like, you know 201 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: you genuinely are using this for therapy.

M h. We were 205 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: talking about the journey that you were on. We're talking 206 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: about speed bumps that have that have derailed us and 207 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: and focused us at the same time. The kind of 208 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: crap that that turns us into the men that we 209 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: are and to the artists that we are.

She you know, 237 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: she stopped talking to my wife when my wife made 238 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: a movie with the Rock because the Rock turned his 239 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: back on the people. I'm not joking. The greatest thing 240 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: in the world. But she died never having a chance 241 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: to like work it out. She died, I'm telling you, 242 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 1: But that's also part of the piece. She lived till 243 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: she was a thousand years old, bro, but it was 244 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: real till she was gone.

Like my first match 250 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: was in Puerto Rico and they put a cage around 251 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: the ring and I remember asking my grandma like, is 252 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: this is steel cagement? She said, no, it's to keep 253 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: the fans out, and I was just like, oh my god. 254 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: And it felt so dangerous in the in this tiny 255 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: little arena in San Juan, but it was exciting, right. 256 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: And my mom, who's the Irish one, was the one 257 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: with the temper. She's been in damn near as many 258 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: fights as I had, and just just the ones I've seen. 259 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: But she grew up.

But it 264 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: toughened her up. My mom. My mom beat up my 265 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: sixth grade teacher for calling me a fucking idiot in 266 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: front of the class, like she took her and shook her. 267 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: Like the women in our families are no jokes that 268 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: you said. Sixth grade Uh.

Don't talk to my son like that. I said, oh, Ma, 272 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: and then of course later on the walk home, she 273 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: was like, what are you doing? Just shut up and 274 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: do your school like you know what I mean? It 275 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: was it was in public.

You know, when my dad died, 285 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: my godfather took care of me a lot. My godfather's 286 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: Bob Wall, who just recently passed away. He trained Bruce 287 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: Lee when Bruce came to America. He was a guy 288 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: Bruce beat up with the scar down as I kicked 289 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: him in his nuts, right, he took all those beatings. 290 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: So those guys all kind of brought me up in 291 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: a way. When you were saying you had your dad 292 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: and your uncle's and they were all like tough, hardcore guys, 293 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: like all these old school guys and now they're just 294 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: they're all starting to get sick and pass away. But 295 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: like you know, Geane LaBelle, I call Uncle Jean and 296 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: I was in the third grade. He taught me how 297 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: to choke kids out and said, go do that to 298 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: your friends, but he did it to me first. I 299 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: was eight years old. He choked out an eight year old. Yeah, 300 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: I learned how to use my hands about third to 301 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: fourth grade because I asked my uncle's because I got 302 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: tired of getting picked on. Remember when I grew up, 303 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna you know, I already said in 304 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: my age, but I don't want to say the year. 305 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: But when I was in elementary school around that time, 306 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: being mixed was not the thing to be. So I'm 307 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm in a Catholic elementary school being called spick, and 308 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: then I'm trying to hang out with the Puerto Rican 309 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: it and then like get out of here, you're too white, 310 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I was like, you 311 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: know what, I'm angry now. So now I'm just gonna 312 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: someone teach me how to throw a punch, because I'm 313 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 1: gonna start swinging. And that's what happened, Eddie. So when 314 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: I was a kid in New Mexico, the Mexican kids 315 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: didn't want to hang out with me because I was 316 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: Puerto Rican, and the white kids didn't want to hang 317 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: out with me because they thought I was Mexican. And 318 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: so I just think out with the Korean dudes because like, 319 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: nobody on with him anyway. So it was just me 320 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: and like these four Korean kids, one of them moved 321 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: to Chicago's It is just me and these three Korean dudes, 322 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: and that was my squad. But we were we were 323 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: shipped talkers, and we loved this ship. Like I remember, 324 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: like the NFL people get mad at Terrell Loans. I 325 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: loved him, okay, like I love the guys to talk 326 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: trash and backed it up. I saw a promo with 327 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: you and Chris Jericho, and you guys almost went at 328 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: it like you. You pretty much called him everything you 329 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: could without calling him it.
