For me is just like I got told 40 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: like a lot of times, countless times that like this 41 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: wasn't a lot of people didn't see it, they didn't 42 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: see the vision, they didn't see this. They didn't understand it. 43 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: I should go about a different way. I should try this, 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: I should try this. They're not doing this that I 45 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: should be doing this. And I was just like, no, 46 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to shut out a lot of that noise. 47 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get tunnel vision and just keep going straightforward 48 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: with what I know works for me and just staying 49 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: true and honestly, it was about like like just keeping 50 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: my passion, keeping my passion, and for me, what the 51 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: definition of passion for me is, especially in this industry, 52 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: is the fact that, like, you keep the love for 53 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: it even though it doesn't love you back when in 54 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: times when it doesn't love you back. It's easy to 55 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 2: love something that loves you all the time, But when 56 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: what happens, do you still love it if it's not 57 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 2: treating you well, if you're not being getting the love 58 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: and you feel like you're getting appreciation you deserve for it, 59 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: If it's like you keep getting punished for certain things 60 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: and you do like, do you still have that same love? Yeah? 61 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: And that's what wrestling has been. It's like this has 62 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: always treated me the best and kicked me in the ass. 63 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 2: So a couple of times, you know, set me back, 64 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: but I kept going. I stayed like true to like, 65 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: I'm still going to keep doing what I do and 66 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to keep adapting and improving on but on 67 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: those core things. And that's what got me here. Yeah. 68 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And of course you're here in town promoting the 69 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: big show tomorrow night, Blood and Guts aw Bridge Donner 70 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: in which, by the way, you can still grab tickets 71 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: aew ticks dot com.

And you know, when you think about it, 73 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: one of the defining matches for aw obviously is Blood 74 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: and Guts. What sets Blood and Guts apart from other 75 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: matches that are kind of similar to it in style 76 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: and execution. 77 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: Well, the structure, one, the name, the title of it. 78 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: This doesn't get any bigger than Blood and Guts. And 79 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: I've been in probably some of the most dangerous matches 80 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: you can imagine for wrestling, you know, going all the 81 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: way from Hell of War to Cage to Death to 82 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: Texas Death Match to now Blood and Guts. It's literally 83 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: a giant cage structure with two rings and ten men, 84 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: and one of those men across from me is like 85 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: probably one of the most like violent men in a 86 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 2: w seeing what we me and him done with each 87 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: other at U in full gear. 88 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you and Hangman, that was that match of the year. 89 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. 90 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, in our book Match of the Year, Thank you. 91 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: Incredible stuff you guys did. 92 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 2: So like so that mixed with one of the greatest 93 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: tactooms of our generation, mixed with one of the greatest 94 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: wrestlers of our generation in Okada, mixed with one half 95 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 2: of one of the greatest tax teams and our generation 96 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: with Mark Briscoe and our current ROH World Champion.

There's 100 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: a huge recipe for disaster, violence, destruction and all sorts 101 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: of things and creative minds, a lot of creative minds 102 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: in this too, and the Young Bucks and all that. 103 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: So there's also a lot to prove for a lot 104 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: of guys on each side to prove to aw fan 105 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: base and the wrestling world. You know, like they claim 106 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: does their chance to step up and get out of 107 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: like just being like where they were positioned for the 108 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: last year and then move up to the next echelon 109 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: of performer in the industry. Mark Brisco, same thing, you 110 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: know myself, Darby, we've done that. But we're the ones 111 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: that were the kind of the glue to these type 112 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: of matches on our side on Team a W. But 113 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 2: at the same time, me and Darby butt heads too, 114 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: and we don't necessarily we don't necessarily get along. I've 115 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 2: done some horrible things. 116 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, we all saw that match last year at Wimbley. 117 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we saw it. Yeah. But even before that, 118 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: I beat up and stay in there, traumatized one of 119 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: his best long friends in Nick Wayne, you know, and 120 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: that's hasn't been forgotten a lot of there's a lot 121 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: of past history between a lot of these guys that 122 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: just hasn't been forgotten. Yeah, you know. And like even Hangman, 123 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: he's not seeing eye to eye with the EVPs and 124 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: the Bucks. They suspended him, kept him out here for 125 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: like four months, you know. And so there's a lot 126 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: of animosity between the just the teams alone, let alone 127 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: the ones between two teams. I feel like this is 128 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: our event, this is our Marvel's Civil War, yeah, you know, 129 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 2: and one of us is Tony Stark, the other is 130 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: Steve Rogers, and we'll see how these teams get along 131 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 2: in this war. Yeah. 132 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you mentioned there's a lot of history between 133 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: you and Darby. Darby recently made some comments said that 134 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: aw is his baby, it was able to retire his family. 135 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: And he also said that what really pisses him off 136 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: is you and he is not your or you're not 137 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: his leader. But he said he's willing to put the 138 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: differences aside for this match tomorrow night at Bridge, Blood 139 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: and Guts. How do you respond to something like that 140 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: and does that kind of make you rethink teaming up 141 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: with him tomorrow night? 142 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. The Darb for one, has never really been like 143 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: really well received with authority's you know, that's kind of 144 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: what got him here. That's what makes Darby special. You know, 145 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: he bucks at authority and he wants to, you know, 146 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: go at the establishment in a lot of ways he's 147 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: done outside of wrestling. That's kind of what the skateboard 148 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: mentality is. That's kind of what the Darby Allen that 149 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: we all know and love is. That's what I appreciated 150 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: about him from all the years that we've known each other. 151 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: He has every right to not want to follow my lead. 152 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: But he also knows that I bring results. I am 153 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: a w World champion. Everything I've said I was going 154 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: to do, I've done it. And he's tried it his 155 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: way in a different way at Double or Nothing and 156 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: Anarchy and the Arena and he failed. He knows he 157 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: needs me to succeed. Yeah, So that's why he's putting 158 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: his differences aside. He needs me because you know, he 159 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: knows what they're there, what they're capable of, what they're 160 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: capable of. On the other side. At the same time, 161 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: now they're adding a Hangman page, which is the biggest 162 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: X factor on the entire team. 163 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you don't know which version of Hangman you're 164 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: gonna get. 165 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 2: You don't. You don't, neither does the EVPs, the Young 166 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: Bucks either, and the fans don't either. So who has 167 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: beaten that man twice? Now? Yeah? 168 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: I have? Who shared blood with that man? Yeah? 169 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: I have. He knows what's needed on this team and 170 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: that's me. I'm the X factor that's going to make 171 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: be the biggest, biggest outcome possible in this matchup. So 172 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: that's why he's putting his differences aside. As much as 173 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: he hates me and wants to hold that grudge from 174 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: what I've done. I needed that to get to where 175 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: I'm at, just like he's done a lot of things 176 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: to get to where he's at. And at the same time, 177 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: it's like, hey man, you had Brian Danielson on your 178 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: team and you lost. I've seen Brian Damson go up 179 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: against will Ospray and one of the best matches and 180 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: the people are saying ever and he lost. I just 181 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: beat will Ospray m hm. 182 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: So another Match of the Year contender right there for 183 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: sure too. 184 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: So once again, I bring results when you want. If 185 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: you want the win, you want to do it your way. 186 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 2: You've done it and he didn't get you the results 187 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 2: you wanted. Let's try doing my way. Like I said, 188 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: you don't make a team AW without the AW World 189 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: Champion involved in it. 190 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely for sure.

You know the forbidden door 196 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: was open. AW worked with a lot of companies, some 197 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: of them are also now working with WW as well. 198 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: Is that door still open for you and AEW or 199 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: any of these doors kind of closed for good? Because 200 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: I know that, you know, once the door closes, it's 201 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: kind of hard to open back up. 202 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: I feel like every door is open for me, and 203 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 2: I like to keep it like that. That's the kind 204 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: of type of business I like to do. I like 205 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: to keep every door open. Possibly. I like to have 206 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: the choice though, yeah, And that's I think that's the 207 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: power in that, Like I have the choice of whether 208 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: what I can walk through this door, and whenever I 209 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: want to walk through this door, I can. And I 210 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: think that's where a lot of I think that's the 211 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: beauty of what the competition is. And I think people 212 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: confuse what competition is swinging companies. Competition is the fact 213 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: that there's a team, there's a there's something across the 214 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: pond that can rival, like the exposure and the money 215 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: and the the talent, you know what I mean. That's 216 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: in the choice, Like it's it's almost like I look 217 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: at it as like the last several, like many many 218 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: like decades for wrestling has been Madden, and now we 219 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: have college sports. Now you have nothing. Now you have 220 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: an option of something else to play. And it's like, wow, 221 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: this is different, this is unique. This feels better. Oh 222 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: my gosh, I guess somebody else has to step up 223 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: over there to like keep the keep the flow going. 224 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: Like and it's selling, and it's selling, is selling companies, 225 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: it's moving, is moving pre orders. Wow, we should take 226 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 2: a look at what's going on over there. That right 227 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 2: there just changes the narrative and it changes the game 228 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: in such a sense. So now it's like we have 229 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: option and like I like that for me, Like I'm 230 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: I worked really hard to be in a position that 231 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: just have an option and have options out there. Period. 232 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: Is beautiful for the industry, you know, Like I don't 233 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: have a single bridge that's ever been burnt. You know, 234 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: I don't talk bad like everybody's doing great, Like and 235 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: I'm happy to see like Slammerversary do four thousand and attendance. 236 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 2: That's dope. I got friends and family that I've been 237 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: getting the ring with forever. I like to see that 238 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 2: west Lee can go from NXT to just do a 239 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: pay per view of Slammer Versity with his friends like 240 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: that's dope. As i'mlike, that's that's really cool. And I'm like, 241 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 2: and then Joe Henry do NXT. That builds opportunity, it 242 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: brings in I'm happy and proud for like Ethan Pages 243 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 2: go over and get opportunity elsewhere. That's choice, that's options, 244 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 2: And that's what competition really does. It makes people. It 245 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: makes them have to like open up their minds and 246 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: be like, you know, we got to change up and 247 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 2: do some different things because like we need to keep 248 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: up too in a sense, and we need to start 249 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: finding different ways to build our machine in different methods. 250 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: Because the future is coming no matter what, and times 251 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 2: are changing. You got to like you want to be 252 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 2: ahead of it. So don't want to be slacking and 253 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 2: falling behind. So get ahead of it. Yeah, get ahead 254 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: of it.

In AW is that's right. 285 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: Ask beauty of it. That's that's the alternative that we 286 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: all been running, you know. So I say, for me, 287 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: I appreciate the alternative while you have it. 288 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: Because I mean, growing up, we had you know, it 289 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: was you had either you know, wor WCW. Those are 290 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: the two that you had growing up, and you had 291 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: some other stuff like NWA here and there, but it 292 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: was like now there's so many options. And the great 293 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: thing about with AW, and I can and vouch for 294 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: this because I've got a seven year old who religiously 295 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: watches wrestling with me. He knows which shows are on 296 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: every night, but the one that he gravitates towards more 297 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: is that one that's on Wednesday nights with AW. The 298 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: ones that you know is with Collision and Rampage and 299 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: r O H. Because you've got the history there, You've got, 300 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: like you said, everything is there that he can enjoy. 301 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: Right. 302 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: And then there's a couple of times where I'm like, 303 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: that might be a little too much for you to 304 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: be seven years old watching this, But you know, I 305 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: grew up watching that. I grew up in the attitude there, 306 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: so I. 307 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: Understand, like, like it's it's it's wild to me that 308 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 2: you people want to see they want they want things 309 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: to get a little radical, and they and they do, 310 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: but then they wanted to all right, kind I kind 311 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 2: of I'm getting nervous. I want to bring it back 312 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: to like what they do over there. I'm like, then 313 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: go watch what they do. We're not saying they can't, 314 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: but like, watch what they do. Yeah, Like, but we 315 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: have to have a little cohesiveness and a little radical 316 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: at sometimes and then go back to the cohesiveness. It 317 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: has to go in those ebbs and flows, because it's 318 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: not just catered to like the small box that the 319 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: small bubble that thinks it should be this way. Were 320 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: catered to the people that love this no matter what. 321 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: Too that's been there loves this, like you know what 322 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: I mean. It's like there's no right or wrong answers 323 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: to this. 324 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And I do have a question for this one. 325 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: And you know, you've seen in the past, because I 326 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: grew up watching wrestling, when celebrities got into wrestling, it 327 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: was more or less of just hey, they're there for 328 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: a one off, a quick spot, they go home kind 329 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: of thing. But now it seems like you've seen other 330 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: celebrities like legitimately stepping up actually putting in the work, 331 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, Logan and Bad Bunny and whatnot. Is there 332 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: any celebrity because we saw it with Shack and he 333 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: actually got in there and wrestled when he wrestled back 334 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: in AW. Is there any celebrity right now that you 335 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: have been maybe trying to convince or maybe that you 336 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: would like to see come inside of AW. I mean, 337 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: we saw it with Rick Ross for a little bit, 338 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: but there wasn't much there for him to actually wrestle. 339 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: But is there somebody there that you think they would 340 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: be good here? 341 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 2: Oh? As far as wrestling, I'm like I always thought 342 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 2: Kevin Gates could do it, you know, but it's all 343 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 2: about the spirit of wanting to do it and like 344 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 2: being able to like believe in it, and like Kevin's 345 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: off doing his own thing right now. So like right now, 346 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: I really don't especially like where I'm at right now 347 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 2: with the World Championship, Like once again things move forward. Yeah, 348 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 2: So it's like, Okay, that's not what we need right now, 349 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: and that's not what I need right now, Like we 350 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 2: need to focus on these things and these things and 351 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: these things. You know, you also run a slippery slope 352 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: of like you don't want the celebrity to out necessarily 353 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 2: not out do and outperform, but out just like you 354 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 2: don't want that to overshadow a lot of the guys 355 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 2: that have been putting in the work too, in the 356 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: town that keeps the lights on on night in the 357 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 2: night out, night in a night out. You got to 358 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: reward those guys too and give them the opportunities to 359 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: become those celebrities and to become that big next thing. 360 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 2: You know, you can't constantly like next celebrity, boom, now 361 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 2: that's that's who we're running with. It's like all right, cool, 362 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 2: that's cool, but like can't take away from these guys 363 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 2: that you know, keep this, keep the machine, and keep 364 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 2: them the thing going r you know, there's a slippery 365 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: slope with it. In my opinion, yeah, absolutely, you don't 366 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 2: want that to be the standard to getting to that success. 367 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 2: Like wrestling still has to be a standard, like you 368 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like being like succeeding in wrestling 369 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: still has to give results and like be rewarded, and 370 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 2: that has to always be the pinnacle of like that's 371 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: the work that you had to grow go into and 372 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 2: still dedicated to the art. Yeah, to be the top 373 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 2: of that art. Yeah, for sure, that makes sense. You 374 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 2: know that makes that makes sense. 375 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's it's everything that you just 376 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: said is as something that people should start kind of 377 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: paying more attention to. 378 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, it's a slippery slope of that 379 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: kind of thing. Like I don't think like Pat Mahomes 380 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 2: wasn't a YouTuber then got into football to be a 381 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: great quarterback. He's dedicated to football right to be the 382 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: best quarterback in the game. Yeah, you know, you don't 383 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 2: want you don't want to make it so like, oh, 384 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: I have to have twenty million followers first, then learn 385 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 2: the art you're playing football to get that, to get 386 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: to get that, you know what I mean. It's like, 387 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 2: I don't we got to be careful of making it 388 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 2: that we're reversing the effect in the in the grind 389 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 2: to get to that, right, I mean absolutely. Yeah. 390 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: So we we put this out there on social media. 391 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: We talked to our listeners and said that you were 392 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: going to come in. We usually like to have have 393 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: our listeners get involved. They get to ask our guests 394 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: a question. Uh. One person wanted to know they said recently, 395 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: headlines were made about somebody that you have very well 396 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: history with Ricochet becoming a free agent. Lots and lots 397 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,239 Speaker 1: of history between you guys. Yeah, is that something you 398 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: know once everything is clear, is that something you'd want 399 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: to run back without the masks? Of course? 400 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 2: I mean we've we've had our matches without the masks 401 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 2: in MLW. You know, we've had like Strickland versus Ricochet 402 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: before it's up to him, like I don't know, like 403 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 2: we'll see like competition stiff in AW. And there's also 404 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: a different type of there's also a different type of 405 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 2: ladder to climb in, a different in a lot of 406 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 2: different ways here. It doesn't necessarily make it easier. There's 407 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 2: difficulties on both sides of things. And I just like 408 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: you got to adapt. Yeah, aw's now more than ever's 409 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: and you've got to be an adaptable performer, way more 410 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: so in AW nowadays. And so just big if that's true, 411 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 2: get ready to put a different type of work in 412 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: boots on. And there's a lot of people that don't 413 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 2: want to make it easy for anybody. It's it's already 414 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: not easy for me in the position I'm in. So 415 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 2: and I've been in the position of like the new 416 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 2: guy coming in and I had to adapt and a 417 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: lot of people, a lot of people have tried to 418 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 2: adapt and they couldn't do it. So that goes to 419 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 2: show you the type of locker room, the type of talent, 420 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: the type of like energy, the type of like workload 421 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: that comes in aaw. 422 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
