We came out of the 61 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: pandemic and we lost a few of the guys, and 62 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: we started up, we started power back up, and the 63 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: people didn't forget. Even though we were gone for almost 64 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: a year, the people didn't forget. And it got to 65 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: be a point where it seemed like there was no 66 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: other avenue for me to go. It was towards the 67 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: Nick and once I kind of got the greenline and 68 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: realized Okay, that's that's where that's where destiny's taking me, 69 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: that's where the people want me. I really had no 70 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: other choice but to put up my career because at 71 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: that point I had already wrestled two different occasions for him. 72 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: There really wasn't any any prize at the end, you 73 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean enough to mention like, I'm I've 74 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: been doing this for twenty two years. I've been very 75 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: blessed to do some amazing things in this business. Wrestling 76 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: for the for WWE, became a World Tag Team Champion, 77 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: wrestled for TNA Impact, one of the Originals. I've trained 78 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: in Japan and wrestled over for and some of the 79 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: top top companies over there. It's got to be a 80 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: point whereas if if I can't win, and I can't 81 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: be world champion, if I can't be the NWA World 82 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: Ebrueight Champion, then I need to go home. And it's 83 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: it's nothing personal. It's it's nothing big and dramatic and 84 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: and a long personal issue. It's it's just that's that 85 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: was it for me. I'm I've worked my whole life 86 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: to want to have that special moment to step into 87 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: that ring and my hand be raised to be NWA 88 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: World's champion. And if I couldn't do that, then I've 89 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: accomplished everything I'd wanted to do. So there's time for 90 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: me to go. 91 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 4: So were you mentally prepared to leave if you lost? 92 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: I mean did you were you? Did you have everything 93 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 4: in rot like, Okay, this is it. I'm done. 94 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we're oh for sure? I you know, I'm again. 95 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: I repeat twenty two years experience. I had no h 96 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: I knew that I could lose. I mean, let's just 97 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: be realistic. I mean, Nick Aldos is a is a 98 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: world champion at the time, he had the world title 99 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: for one forty four days. But that's why. Another reason 100 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: why I had my family there at seventy three was 101 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: because they have been through so many trials and tribulations 102 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: with me as a wrestler and having to deal with 103 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: me having good days and bad days. I had my 104 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: five year old there that had never seen me wrestle alive. 105 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: I had my fifteen year old there who had been 106 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: through he had he'd been to the good shows and 107 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: been to the bad show. And of course, you know 108 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: my wife, my best friend Bull Schmidt, who had been 109 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: a wrestler for fifteen years, been a world tag team 110 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: champion with Harley. With him, I figured at the very 111 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: least that if I was going to lose, there's no 112 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: better for a guy like me, There's no better way 113 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: to end it. Like I'm at the Chase wrestling in 114 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: the main event for the World heavyweight title. I have 115 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: my family there. I'm not the type of guy that's 116 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: gonna end up with the big retirement speech and you 117 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: know suit and all the other shit. Yeah, So basically 118 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: I kind of felt like, if that's if I'm going out, 119 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: boys like I can't ask for a better place and time, 120 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, and have my family and friends there. Thankfully, 121 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: as you guys can tell over my shoulder that that 122 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: didn't end that. 123 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 3: No, And you know we we both were watching the 124 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: pay per view and like just every the the full 125 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: emotion of watching that match, especially as a parent, father myself, 126 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 3: watching you in the ring, your kids come out there 127 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 3: hugging you, and that emotional moment, Like I got a 128 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 3: little teary eyed watching that. I was like, you know, 129 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: I'm not a wrestler, so I guess my emotional moment 130 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: is if my kid gets on the radio with me 131 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: or the podcast. 132 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: But I mean that had been a field as well. 133 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 4: You can't fake that stuff, you know, you could tell 134 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 4: like that's no. 135 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: It was as real as it will ever be. Gentlemen, 136 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: Like I had a lot of fans in that in 137 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: that building, a lot of fans that had been there 138 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: and seen some of my earlier matches even before when 139 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: I met Harley. 140 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 4: Uh. 141 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: But my wife and kids they've seen it all. So 142 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: it was almost just as much of a payoff for 143 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: them too, because they knew how important, uh, the nw 144 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: A World's Heavyweight title is to me, and they know 145 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: how closely uh, I've the nw A has kind of 146 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: been embedded into my DNA throughout the years, especially with 147 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: Harley Race being my trainer and mentor. They they knew 148 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: the significance of what it meant for me to be, 149 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 1: you know, the real world champion. 150 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and to kind of pull back just a little 151 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 3: bit of the curtain. Did you tell them that night 152 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 3: that you were going to win? Or did you just 153 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: keep it to yourself and not tell me? 154 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: No, I have my son hits me up all the time, 155 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, you know, yep, you down there, you know 156 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: what's and I know I totally k faved him. I 157 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, I wanted his real emotional you know, his expression. 158 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: I wanted it to be just as real for him 159 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: as it was for everybody else in the building. Now, 160 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: my wife knew, you know, that's my queen, that's my 161 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: right hand, so uh, you know she obviously I can't 162 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: lie to her.

You fought brent Albright back in two 178 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: thousand and eight for the championship you now hold what 179 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 4: do you think is the And there may be several, 180 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 4: but what are the biggest differences between Trevor Murdock in 181 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 4: two thousand and eight, who was not successful in that attempt, 182 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,599 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty twenty one Trevor Murdach who's now the 183 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 4: world champion, Like what what do you think has changed 184 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 4: just you know, mental toughness. 185 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: Or when when I had that match with brent Albright, 186 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: I was on my the I just left WWE. My 187 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: career was semi and turmoil, a little a lot of 188 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: questions of where am I going? What am I going 189 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: to do, a lot of uncertainty, a lack of a 190 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: huge lack of confidence because that time when into our 191 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: WWE was really the only show in town and and everybody, 192 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: even the fans, were conditioned like if you weren't a 193 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: part of WWE, you're really not a wrestler. 194 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 4: You know that went on for decades. I mean for 195 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 4: real that. 196 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: I wrestled for nine years, eight years before I went 197 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: to WWE, And every single question from a fan, I 198 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: usually first or second, was well, have you wrestled for 199 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,599 Speaker 1: the w W for WWE, and at that time I 200 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: couldn't say that. Well, once you are able to say that, 201 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: it's great, but when you're not there anymore, it's like, well, shit, 202 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: like there's nowhere to go anywhere but down from in 203 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: that position. You know. Actually, my first my first show 204 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: after I left WWE, uh, an old promoter had contacted 205 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: me and I was, you know, out of respect, I 206 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: know that I would take care of me. I said, yeah, 207 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: of course, I didn't ask the detailed questions that I 208 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: should have because I just come out of a company 209 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: that took care of everything for you. All you had 210 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: to do was show up. Crowds were there, everything. What 211 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know was this show was at a bowling alley. 212 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: The show was outside in the parking lot. There were 213 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: blue tarps for walls to try to block people from 214 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: driving by and watching the show in the parking lot 215 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: of this bowling alley. And my locker room was the 216 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: bathroom of the bowling alley that I shared with other 217 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: people that were bowling. Well wow, yeah, yeah, you know, 218 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: and it was just, you know, my confidence was just 219 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: was shot. I was like, holy shit. Like three weeks ago, 220 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: I was wrestling in front of an average of seven 221 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: to ten thousand people, and now I'm in the parking 222 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: lot of a bowling alley in Indiana. I just I 223 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: had zero confidence. Yeah, so when when Dave Marquez called 224 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: me and asked me, hey, listen, I've got an opportunity 225 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: for you, I didn't really take full advantage of it. 226 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: I wasn't mentally in the right spot. I wasn't. I 227 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: didn't want it as bad as I as I should have. 228 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: It's just, you know, it's achromulation, accumulation of things. Whereas 229 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: now I wasn't just thrown to the wolves in NWA. Uh. 230 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: Whereas a lot of companies I have, I bring a 231 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: name value. So when I went to Tnay, they kind 232 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: of threw me into their top guys and I just 233 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: did there. You know, I had to make everybody else 234 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: look good. Whereas an NWA, you know I've been, I've 235 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: I've had to wrestle some really tough opponents, and they've 236 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: given me opportunities to elevate myself, and they've also not 237 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: put a leash on me. It's common for pro wrestling, 238 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: a lot of pro wrestling companies for them to micromanage 239 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: you and tell you what not to do, and tell 240 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: you what to do. I've been doing this twenty two years. 241 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of experience, and I don't mean 242 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: to toot my own horn, but too, I know what 243 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm doing in there. I back it up, right. I 244 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: I know myself better than anybody else, and I know 245 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: what I can and can't do. So I just needed 246 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: a platform, and I needed a boss who trusted me 247 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: and respected me enough to go all right, you know 248 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: this is the direction I'd like you to go. Go 249 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: make magic. Yeah, And that's what's happened in NWA. You 250 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: know what I mean. There's there's no scripts, there's no 251 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: don't do this, don't do that. You have a locker 252 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: room full of athletes that are all trying to have 253 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: the best match in the best show possible, but not 254 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: in a way where it hurts or harms anybody else's matches. 255 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: You guys know what I'm saying. 256 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, and all the all the pistons are fire and 257 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 4: at the same. 258 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: Time, oh man, And when you have a locker room 259 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: like that, uh, you've got nothing but greatness ahead of you.

Like, 344 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: you can't part time being world's everyweight champion. 345 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't just. 346 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 3: Start it on Thursday and then and on Sunday and 347 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 3: then the rest of the week. 348 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: Right, So now I have twenty four to seven to 349 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: focus on what I need to do to get myself 350 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: right and get myself prepared for a guy like you know, 351 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: the Pope. I've known Pope for a long time as 352 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: well too. A sidebar, that's the cool thing about NWA 353 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: is when you have you have a bunch of grown 354 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: ass men that have been in the business for so 355 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: long that they're able to bring their talents a different 356 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: way than they having any other companies because they know 357 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: their opponents better than most anybody else, right, And that 358 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: leads right into me and Pope. I've known Pope for 359 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: a long time, and he's a fantastic a technical wrestler. 360 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: When he gets on the mic, man he can talk 361 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: him right into the building. The one thing that I 362 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: know about Pope as a man is that when he 363 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: does decide to come get the world tied on, he 364 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: has every right too. He's earned it and I respect that. 365 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: And I would be doing him in the world title 366 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: of disservice and myself a disservice if I deny him 367 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: and ignore him. I know when he comes, he's gonna 368 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: come and knock on the door and come up straight 369 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: up the middle and be a man about it. So 370 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, I don't I don't feel as 371 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: if I have to be watching I guess quote unquote 372 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: wrestling terms you know, watching my back with Pope. So 373 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I don't take him as a 374 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: concern or that I'm I don't think that he's a 375 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: he can be a world champion. I'm just saying there's 376 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: a whole lot we go back to, you know, talking 377 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: about snakes. There's a whole lot more snakes in the 378 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: grass are roses, yes for sure. Yeah. 379 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 4: So the last you know, two to three years, wrestling 380 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 4: has really kind of exploded in mainly positive way. And 381 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 4: you know, the whole Forbidden Door. You know, NWA is 382 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 4: no uh, they have a very long history of working 383 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 4: with the outside companies.

Side note, I'll answer 397 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: your question, Eli, just side note. Got a five year 398 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: old and I've got a fifteen year old, and those 399 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: boys like to play. And the five year old thought 400 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: it'd be funny to chuck his gum and his older brother, 401 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: and his older brother gobed and weaved and landed right 402 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: in dad's beard. 403 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 2: All about that. 404 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: So I had to do a little trim work and 405 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: now I'm back to looking like a twelve year old. 406 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: But back to the original question. When it comes to 407 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: champion versus champion fantasy booking, I'm gonna be honest with 408 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: you and you guys, we can take this whichever wherever 409 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: anybody wants. Currently, all the champions out of there, there's 410 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: only there's none that I fear or that I think 411 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: can win. I am the real world heavyweight champion. I 412 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: am the toughest man in the business right now. The 413 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: only person that I think would probably be able to 414 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: give me a tough fight right now, real tough fight 415 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: is Big E. And that's because how big he is 416 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: and how strong he is, and if you've watched his 417 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: career he's smart, he has start, He's learned so much 418 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: within the last two years that him as world champion 419 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: is is for that company. It was the best decision 420 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: for them. Fast, very deceptively fast. But I'm I am 421 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,239 Speaker 1: the real world's champion. The men that have held this 422 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: world title grown ass men that like to fight and 423 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: that are tougher than nails. And I know that's a 424 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: cliche to say, but if you want to be a 425 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: world champion in pro wrestling, you got to be able 426 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: to handle getting your ass kicked every once in a while. 427 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: And I'll be absolutely honest with you can't spread this 428 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: wherever you want. I don't see too many other champions 429 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: that are tougher than me. Bottom line, I don't care 430 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: in this. I don't care what she picks this up. 431 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: That's that's the truth. I'm a grown ass man and 432 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 1: I've been doing this for a long time.

We're unique in 489 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: that aspect that we have a history that a wrestling 490 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: family through generations can follow and say this is what 491 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: I used to watch. This is what I used to 492 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: sit at home with your mom or dad or grandma 493 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: or whoever and watch. And it's a show that anybody 494 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: can watch too. Like, as a parent, you're not really 495 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: concerned about what you're going to see rated R wise 496 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: on our show. Now, will you see brutality? Well, yeah, 497 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of grown ass man knocking the piss out 498 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: of each other, right, you kind of know that as 499 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: a parent going into it. But you won't have to 500 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: worry about a bunch of vulgar, vulgar people, a bunch 501 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: of things that you'd have to explain to your children about, 502 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: you know, the conversations you don't want to have with 503 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: your kids right now, you know what I mean? 504 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it definitely feels like the same show 505 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 4: I grew up on, but you know modern.

It gets to a point in 596 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: the middle of the match when it's all about being 597 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: a man and who's the tougher guy. And that's when 598 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: when you see guys really dig deep into the match, 599 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: and in a in a special match like this where 600 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: you have a cage which is basically a large weapon 601 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: for you to use it anytime. I'm really intrigued on 602 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: seeing who's gonna dig down deep and see what they 603 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: can pull out of the trick bag to for either 604 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: one of those guys, and to see who wins. And 605 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: then of course when you get to the very end 606 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: of it, it becomes a mental game. And I don't 607 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: care what anybody says. You've had your ass whipped for 608 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: fifteen twenty minutes inside a cage and you've had your 609 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: your head bounced off steel. You don't know what the 610 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: hell is going to happen or going on, So you're 611 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: running on basically just uh, what's the word I'm looking for, 612 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: Like it's an autopilot.

And 616 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: I don't envy either man because I was in the 617 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: middle of the ring when I watched the slap five bro. 618 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: The reaction I'm giving is like, it's a shoot, Like. 619 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 2: There's no, you couldn't pay me to do that. 620 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: No. And then when I got the oh, I'm telling you, fellas, 621 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: I have I have great moments in my career because 622 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: when I got the call and they were like, hey, listen, 623 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna have something fun for you to do on 624 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: this show. You know, my imagination immediately started running like, 625 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: oh shit, Like what am I going to here? We 626 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: go yeah, yeah, and they said, we need you to 627 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: be like the special enforcer to keep these two separate 628 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: and to judge their slap fight, but we also need 629 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: you to keep them separated too, because we don't want 630 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: them we don't want them to actually fight. Obviously, I 631 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: did a pissport job at the very end because everybody 632 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: started fighting, myself included. But those two are gonna They're 633 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: gonna go out there to try to hurt each other, 634 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: and that's what, in my opinion, that's entertainment. That's old 635 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: school gladiator days. I remember Harley telling me a story 636 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: about pro wrestling, the fact that it's the oldest living 637 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: sport in history because it dates back to the gladiator 638 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: days where you had two men step into an arena 639 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: and and you know, obviously back then it was battled 640 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: to the death. You don't make money much money if 641 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: you're battling to the death every night. So it changed 642 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: to pro you know, it obviously changed.
