Speaker 1: I'm trying to get there like you, but I've got

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: some I got some ways to go.

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: It's okay. The awkward phase is a little you know,

25
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: you just got to pull through.

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like phase at the moment. This is

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: like the Joe Dirt redneck face. So I'm trying to

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: get to that that domb uh you know, uh, mullet face.

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: So we'll see how that plays out.

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try. So let's let's

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: kind of talk about this for a second. You know,

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years, you transition from being

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: known as Ray Mysterio Junior son to establishing your own

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: identity in w w uh. What challenges have you faced

35
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: during this journey and how have you worked overcome them?

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: Man, There's there's been multiple challenges, you know, from even

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: just beginning my training to little hiccups I had in

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: every place I stopped that there was living in Tampa,

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: living in Canada, back in San Diego. Like I always

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: there's always struggles. But I think one of the biggest

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: things for me was not having to worry about, you know,

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: the name and the legacy, right because I feel like

43
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: everyone gets so caught up with that. Like every time

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: I saw someone or my deadbeat told them, oh yeah,

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: my son's training. You know, the first thing I always

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: heard was you got some big shoes to feel, kid,

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: and I'm like, and that was always the first thing

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: I heard. I mean, it was always just you know,

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: how are you going to fill it? Your dad's shoes?

50
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: But I tried not to think about it that way,

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: and like filling his shoes, I almost wanted to just

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: do me, you know, I wanted to create my own

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: path and I wanted to kind of do my best

54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: to step away from him. But I think that was

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: one of my biggest struggles, is just having not to

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: have that in the back of my head, just you know,

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: you got some big shoes to feel, how are you

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: going to fill those shoes? Like You're never gonna be

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: a legend, but like your dad, And it's like I'm

60
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: four years in and I'm already bigger than him. I'm

61
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: already more of a legend than he is. I'm established

62
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: myself as the greatest mystery of all time. You know,

63
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: I can keep going on with my accolades. First ont

64
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: of Mean Event and Nix t raw and SmackDown took

65
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: the North American title to actual all of North America

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: and Germany, like like everywhere Champions has been around the world,

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: you know, so like I think for me that was

68
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: that was a key part.

69
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes sense. And you know we always talk

70
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: about you know, nepo babies, and you know, in the

71
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: wrestling world that's not always a positive. You know, like

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: some people will box you in as your so and

73
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: so's kid, or you almost have to emulate their style

74
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: or moves or stuff. So sometimes that can work against you.

75
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 4: So it's it's been really awesome to see you kind

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: of become your own person. That's been very good speaking

77
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: of your own person. So let's talk about Judgment Day.

78
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 4: So Judgment Day has been comprised of superstars that are

79
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: just a well of knowledge, yourself included. How is being

80
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: a part of this group, you know, helped you grow

81
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: as a competitor and as a character in ww oh man.

82
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: I think Judgment Day all forms of the Judgment Day,

83
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: you know, because we started off with the couple different people.

84
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 2: Now we have a few different people in. But I

85
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: think everyone that's been through the Judgment Day has has

86
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: just been so helpful to me in their own way. Right,

87
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: I debuted in twenty twenty, so I I'm going into

88
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: my fifth year now. I don't have much experience, you know,

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: all my experiences visually through what I've seen and what

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: I've heard from other people. But the fact that you know,

91
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: guys like Damien Priest, guys like Finn Balor even you know,

92
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: I hate to give her credit, but like real Ripley,

93
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: just the help and the confidence that they gave me,

94
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: like helping me come up and helping me forget about

95
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: my deadbeat dad and then moving on from them, you

96
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: have people like Carlito coming in, Raquel, you got my

97
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 2: wady to live Morgan. So like I feel like even

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: after we kicked out Damien Priest and Rhea, we just

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: became even closer and live Raquel, Carle Jd, Finn. They've

100
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: all just helped me grow so much. You know, they

101
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: all have so much experience, from you know, being in

102
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: the Indies to Finn being in New Japan taking over

103
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: New Japan. Like Finn's a legend in his own way,

104
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: you know. So the fact that I can be in

105
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: there with those guys and just learn and pick their brains,

106
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 2: it's it's honestly pretty pretty amazing. Yeah.

107
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And of course you got the who's who then

108
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: you like you said, You've got a lot of people

109
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: inside that group with knowledge I mean, you think about it,

110
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: just the knowledge of Carlito and Finn Bala right there.

111
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: In itself is good to have on your side for sure.

112
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: And you know one thing that we've always noticed when

113
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: you watch on TV, and of course you may hear

114
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: it when WW comes to the Bridge Done Arena on

115
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: February tent for Monday Night Row.

116
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: The booze like it was extremely loud.

117
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: It was extremely definiting to where you couldn't barely hear

118
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: you when you had the mic in your hand. Is

119
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: there an adjustment process obviously for the noise level and

120
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: do you thrive on that during your performances because it

121
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: seems like the booze have now not been as loud

122
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: for you, but it's now for the New Day.

123
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the New Day can keep trying. You know,

124
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 2: they're they're what thirty forty years in and they're trying

125
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: to catch up to me. So we'll let those We'll

126
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: let those old geezers keep trying. Yeah, But honestly, it's

127
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: it's surreal, man. The adjustment was huge for me because

128
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: I didn't understand like what to do or how to

129
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: handle it. I never everything. Everything has been new for

130
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: me from start to finish. I'm always constantly learning on

131
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: the job, adapting, just trying to be the best version

132
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: of myself. So like when I started getting booed, I

133
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: didn't I didn't understand, like I thought I had to

134
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: cup with promos. I thought I had to speak. And

135
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: there was just a few guys, Triple H being one

136
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: of them, just helping me out on how to manage

137
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: all of that right, how to control the booze, how

138
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: to just do what I have to do right. So

139
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: I think it started off to where like I wouldn't panic,

140
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: but it was like I have to say these things.

141
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: And now it's like you guys don't want to hear

142
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: me talk, like you're the ones missing out because I

143
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: got some It's been like two and a half years

144
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: since I've been able to say anything, right, you know,

145
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: like coming on to three years now, So like it's

146
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: kind of th real' like we're we're an unprecedented water receiverer. Yeah,

147
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,559
Speaker 2: so it's it's kind of cool to see.

148
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh, it's it's incredible really. So, you know,

149
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: talking about Judgment Day, you know, they're always in the

150
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: storylines and always a focal point on TV with the

151
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: recent storylines and kind one of these power struggles. I mean,

152
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: where do you see yourself currently in the hierarchy of

153
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 4: Judgment Day?

154
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: I mean, have we.

155
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: Decided on a true leader? Do you see yourself maybe

156
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: trying to like really uh solidify yourself and go on

157

160
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: there was no leaders, right, there is no leaders. That's

161
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: that's kind of been our thing. But I don't know, man,

162
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 2: it's it's it's kind of it's it's hard to say

163
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: because you know, we had fit. We have Finn acting

164

175
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: noticing as we watch every week is uh. I guess

176
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: the situation between you and and Live Morgan, and you know,

177
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: unfortunately Live lost her title, and now she seems to be,

178
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: shall we say, a little colder towards you recently, Any

179
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: any update, like where do you guys stand at the moment,

180
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: because I mean, I've been in this position before where

181
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: your significant other is very upset with you and it

182
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: seems like you're kind of in the doghouse.

183
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: But any anything you can share with us.

184
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: She says she wasn't mad.

185
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: You know that's true.

186
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: I believe her.

187
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: You know.

188
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: I tried to explain to her that what happened with

189
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 2: the whole thing THREEA was cute. I haven't had a

190
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: chance to explain myself. So here I go. Right, she

191
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: has her back turned in my head. We had we

192
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: had a plan, right. The plan was, I'm gonna steal

193
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: this fucking title. Sorry, okay, I'm gonna steal this thing

194
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 2: and we're gonna run away. And you just went through

195
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: that whole match, so I'll meet you somewhere with the title. Right.

196
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: My plan was, I'm gonna snatch this thing, and she's not.

197
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: She can cry about it. Well, Hi, she ain't gonna

198
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: have a title, So the worst thing they're gonna have

199
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: to do is either give her a new one or

200
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: she's gonna have to keep chasing us. So I was

201
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: like in, like I said, it sounded like a good plan.

202
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: I was prepared for the worst, and the worst happened,

203
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 2: so I was slide in there, take the title. She

204
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: hit me a couple of times, so I wasn't planning

205
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: on hitting her back. But you know, if she happened

206
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: to trip and fall while I stole the title, you know,

207
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: so be it. But that was the plan that didn't

208
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: really go on how I wanted it to happen. She

209
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: kind of like the ring is very you know, it's

210
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: very sensitive, so soon as someone slides in or something,

211
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: you can feel it right away. Assume her evil spidy

212
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: senses were tingling, and she just yeah, she she wanted

213
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: to kick me in the balls for some reason. Because

214
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 2: I chose, I chose to live over her lives way better.

215
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: So she's got upset, but whatever, lives not mad at me,

216
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: though we're still we're still working through that. She'sa you know,

217
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: I got you.

218
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, hey, if you need to when you're in Nashville,

219
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: if you need to take her out somewhere fancy to

220
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: kind of make sure she's really not mad at you.

221
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: Down the street from Bridgestone there's a place called Bob's

222
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: Steak and Chop House. Fantastic, by the way, great chicken tenders.

223
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Across the streets from Bridgestone over at Hattie Bees at

224
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Fifth and Broad.

225
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: So oh, I love Hattie Bees. Yeah.

226
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 3: You do you get like a certain heat in as

227
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: to it or do you just get regular?

228
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: So I the first time I had Hattie Bees was

229
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: in I believe, Alabama with one of my buddies, and man,

230
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: it was life changing. Likes the crispiness of the chicken

231
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: and the cake like he was just so good. I

232
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: don't remember the spiciness because I but I remember I

233
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: went one below this like.

234
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: The super hot smart move because if you if you

235
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: get the the shut the cluck up is what it is. Yes,

236
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: you cannot taste anything after eating that, You're done.

237
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: No, my buddy ate it because he has like, uh,

238
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: like some dead taste buds or something. So the only

239
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: way he can like actually taste certain things is like

240
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: eat super spicy food. So I cut off a little

241
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 2: piece and bit into it. Oh my god, and I'm Mexican, dude,

242
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 2: I can, I can.

243
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: Hand right, not that though, that was No, you gotta

244
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: enjoy it.

245
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: I would like to, like you said, I would like

246
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: to enjoy tasting my food. I we did a thing

247
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: here where we everybody had, as punishment, had to eat

248
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: one of those tenders.

249
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: I was.

250
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: I had to call out of work the next day

251
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: because I was that miserable for one tender. And if

252
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm having to cry while eating, I'm not doing it.

253
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, not whatsoever.

254
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: You gotta enjoy your tends, dude.

255
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 4: The one time taste and yeah.

256
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: It's it's done though, So of course, you know, we

257
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: we got to talk about some really cool things. Recently,

258
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: WWE made the announcement about the multi year deal with TNA.

259
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: Normally in the past, WWE kind of stayed in their

260
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: own sandbox, but it now seems that everybody is getting

261
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: to play with WWE. What do you think this means

262
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: for business with WWE working with another wrestling company? And

263
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: is there anyone on that TNA roster that you'd like

264
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: to step in the ring with.

265
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: You know, I can't say I'm I'm too focused on

266
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: anybody in TNA, but but I don't like to say

267
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: his name, but I think we know who we're talking about.

268
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: We know we're not gonna say his name because he'll

269
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: probably just show up behind me on the screen somewhere.

270
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say his name. He just he beat Dolph.

271
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: I've beaten Dolf, so yeah, I'll just leave that at that.

272
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: That could be interesting. But as far as WWE being

273
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: able to, like you said, they're always in their own sandbox.

274
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: They never really played well with others, as some might say.

275
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: But I think this is huge. You know, this is

276
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: such an amazing opportunity for not only WW for TNA.

277
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: You know, I I grew up watching all sorts of wrestling.

278
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: You know, my godfather Conan was on UH on Impact

279
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: doing the lax, you know, so like I like, I

280
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: grew up on that on those guys and and seeing

281
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: that like suicide and you know, Christopher Daniels and all

282
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: those guys like it's it. It was. It was crazy, right.

283
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: So now being able to go back and now we're

284
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: you know, in cahoots with them, like that's that's pretty cool. Dude.

285
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: I'd love to show up on TNA, you know, like

286
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: why why not? I'd love to go and take over

287
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: I just went down that next and to go over

288
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: a next So why not go down to TNA and

289
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: take over TNA, you know, and.

290
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 4: You know, and you're speaking of lax mister Mike. Santana

291
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: is killing it in ten A right now. Yeah, yes,

292
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: I could see you too, maybe Tang going.

293
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's Puerto Rican. I'm Mexican, so there's

294
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: definitely a I've had some issues with Puerto Ricans in

295
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: the past, that is correct, Yeah, being being Damien priest

296
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: and it's not like he hides being Puerto Rican. Dude

297
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: has a tattooed on him. He wears a Puerto Rican

298
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: flag shirt every day that he can, so he makes

299
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: it well, yeah, for sure. I don't know. I don't

300
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: know if Santana is going to have a problem with me,

301
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: but that's something we'll have to wait and see in

302
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: the future.

303
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: Just thinking about that, that's going to be incredible.

304
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: I know we don't have much time left with you

305
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: because I know you got some other things to do,

306
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: so we've got one last question. We always like to

307
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: have fun towards the end of these episodes. And uh,

308
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, my my seven year old is a big,

309
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: big wrestling fan and he always likes to send some

310
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,440
