Speaker 6: Man?

24
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 4: How did this this wrestling thing come about? Because you

25
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 4: started with football, So how did you get into wrestling?

26
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 7: Right?

27
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 5: Man?

28
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: It was an accident.

29
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 8: So, like you said, I started hamp Universe City, transferred

30
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 8: to South Carolina that had a brief stint with the

31
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 8: Philadelphia Eagles where I went to camp and then long

32
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 8: story short, I got cut from the Philadelphia Eagles and

33
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 8: trying to figure out what was next for my life.

34
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 8: I had an agent who actually got me trying to

35
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 8: give me some more trials and everything. Then got me

36
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 8: hooked up with the XFL. I think it was just

37
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 8: a blessing because I never played for the XFL. As

38
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 8: soon as they set my information there, WWE reached out

39
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 8: to me said, are you interested in coming in for

40
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 8: a tryout?

41
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: Oh so they reached out to you.

42
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: So did you have wrestling background or did you ever

43
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: do anything with wrestling?

44
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 8: Never wrestled in my life. I was a fan, you know,

45
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 8: at three years old, I opened a can of whoop

46
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 8: ass watching the Stone Colch Steve Austin. Like I was

47
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 8: always a fan. I watched it, but I never thought

48
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 8: about actually wrestling, Like just didn't know. It's the opportunities.

49
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 4: So then you had to learn how to wrestle r

50
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: because it's not just one of those things you could

51
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: just go slap somebody just opened up a cann of

52
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: whoop passle when they reached out to you, was it

53
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 4: a training process? It was a program, what breakdown, what happened?

54
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: What got you into your first bout?

55
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: Exactly? They Brohnatorlando.

56
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 8: I tried out and they said, Yo, you got charisma,

57
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 8: you got a good look and everything, but.

58
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: Try out if you never wrestled before.

59
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good question. DJ.

60
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 8: Let me tell you so for twenty years I played football,

61
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 8: where if you're good at football, you stay on your feet,

62
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 8: very physical sport, a very physical sport. My first day

63
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 8: of becoming a WWE superstar, you learn how to fall, bump, cartwell,

64
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 8: flip all this other stuff. So it wasn't natural to me.

65
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 8: Like I wasn't a gymnast. I'm still not gymnasts. So

66
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 8: they didn't sign me. So I had to move to Philadelphia.

67
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 8: Back to Philadelphia, stayed with my uncle and I trained.

68
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 8: I wrestled COVID broke out. I stayed on the independent scene.

69
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 8: You know, you can think about something similar to comedy

70
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 8: or something like that. You know, before you make it

71
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 8: big and you know you got your own shows and

72
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 8: you're on wild'n Out and stuff like that, you know

73
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 8: you're on the indies and you make a name for yourself.

74
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: So I had to do that first.

75
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 6: Wow, do you feel pressure to represent like black culture

76
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 6: and wrestling, or do you just show up and be

77
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 6: yourself and let let's let everything play out.

78
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I can't. I can't be anything else. Damn black,

79
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I can't change my skin,

80
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

81
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 8: I'm raised how it was raised, and I feel like

82
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 8: the better I do in this field, the better it

83
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 8: is for you know, people who look like me, period.

84
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: But you know, this is who I am. I can't

85
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: change it.

86
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: How difficult it was it to learn wrestling and the

87
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: falling and the whatever wrestling is.

88
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: How difficult was that?

89
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: It takes years?

90
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 8: It takes years because you know, playing football is about

91
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 8: getting the job done, catching the touchdown, making the tackle,

92
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 8: et cetera. Wrestling's everything, you know. I mean, we grab microphones,

93
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 8: we tall trash. You know, we got to look good.

94
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: We got to know our camera angles, We got to

95
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: feed to the cameras. We gotta do this, We gotta

96
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: do that. You got to be the ultimate showman to

97
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: be good at the craft.

98
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 9: And a lot of people think that it's fake, you know,

99
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 9: obviously whatever, but like it's it's real, like y'all really

100
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 9: getting hurt.

101
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I mean my neck hurt right now. But

102
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 8: you know the way I got pictures like this. Okay,

103
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 8: yes there's a script attached to it. You know it's predetermined.

104
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 8: But you know, y'all got scripts right now in front

105
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 8: of your computer screen. If football, you know, but we do,

106
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 8: you know, we prepare.

107
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 7: You know.

108
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 8: If it's football, you got you know, a playbook, Basketball,

109
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 8: you got plays. The beauty is not in the script,

110
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 8: it's in the execution. And Trick Williams is the best executor.

111
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 6: So that's why you said, I always wonder what's the

112
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 6: psychology behind getting ten thousand people to chance your name

113
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 6: because it might be a little scripted, but the crowd

114
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 6: reaction got to be real, right right.

115
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 8: Right, And that's the beauty of it. Because some people

116
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 8: do their job so well, you know what I mean.

117
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 8: There's something about him, the way he walks out and

118
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 8: he just got that swab, or or something about her,

119
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 8: you know what I mean.

120
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: They like the way she looks. It could be her smile,

121
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: it could be the way you know, the wind blow

122
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: that day, like you never know what it is. Some

123
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: people are just that good.

124
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 7: At the craft and they whoop that trick when you're

125
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 7: coming out and like they having a party when you

126
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 7: walk out.

127
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: It's a movement. Yeah, the whole movement with that.

128
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it was.

129
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 8: It was a blessing, you know what I mean. I

130
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 8: started NXT where the crowd just adopted that. You know,

131
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 8: my name being Trick Williams, my birth name being Matric

132
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 8: you know, Trick was a nickname, so it just it fit.

133
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 8: And whooped that trick fit with Trick and it took.

134
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: Off that too. Yeah, trick she does, she does? When

135
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: did you talk to what she does too?

136
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: When did you know it was gonna work?

137
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: Like?

138
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: When was that time? He was like, oh, they really

139
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: catching on? Do you remember that match?

140
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say, I would say when. So at NXT,

141
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 8: we're in front of a set audience in Orlando and

142
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 8: we barely leave the house, like four hundred five hundred

143
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 8: fans and they started chaing whoop that trick there, which

144
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 8: is cool.

145
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: It's like, but we're in the same crowd, you know

146
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: what I mean.

147
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 8: You don't really know how the world feels about you.

148
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 8: Then we went all the way to California and in

149
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 8: front of five thousand and the whooped that trick. Chance

150
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 8: was crazy, and I won my first title. I'd be

151
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 8: dominating my stereo Raymond Stereo Son And that's when we

152
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 8: knew like, okay, this movement is something crazy and it

153
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 8: has a slow down.

154
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: Since does w W call you at that time? But like, hey,

155
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 4: look we gotta talk, we gotta get some things. But

156
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 4: they call you when when they start hearing it, Nah.

157
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: Nah, That's not how Sean Michaels operate.

158
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 5: You know.

159
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 8: Shoot, when you start succeeding, now you're in the high seat,

160
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,400

00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 8: of not seeing each other because we never home, so

219
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,000

230
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,240

232
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,959

233
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,920

00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 8: just don't understand, like what do you mean you got

Speaker 2: a friend zone like because you know she.

263

325
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 6: In wrestling, you got to balance ego in storytelling, Right,

326
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 6: how do you stay confident without letting the character of

327
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 6: Trick Williams consumed?

328
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 8: Really, I mean, honestly, I think just man, people around

330
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 8: know if I'm tripping, you know what I mean, Like,

331
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 8: you know, before I cut a promo and I'm finished

332
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 8: say something on live TV, I always think about my mama.

333
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 8: I know she's watching. Shout to my mom. She had

334
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 8: surgery last night. But yeah, but the people around me

335
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 8: just keep me grounded, man, like they always you know

336
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 8: what I mean. You know, once I take off the shades,

337
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 8: the coat, the limon, pepper stepas. You know what I'm saying,

338
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 8: Once I take all that off, you know, last at

339
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 8: the crib, like take out the trash, you know what

340
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 8: I mean, Like, oh yeah, we take out the trash,

341
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 8: you know, just keeping it real.

342
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 6: Historically, right, I feel like wrestling hasn't always portrayed black

343
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 6: wrestlers with a lot of depth, right, Like do you

344
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 6: feel like this era is finally allowing black talent to

345
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 6: show personality behind the stairs, beyond the stereotypes, right.

346
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 8: I mean, first and first, I gotta say shout out

347
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 8: to Nick Cohn Triple Hs because man, they've allowed me

348
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 8: to be myself. Like all these promos I'm cutting, you know,

349
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 8: all these different things. It comes from my head and

350
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 8: they say, man, go be you, you know what I mean,

351
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 8: Go get yourself over like let's see, let's see who

352
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 8: you are, Let's see how it works. And it's been working,

353
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. It's not just me. Like

354
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 8: three of us moved up from NXT together, Javon Evans, oh,

355
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 8: Befe me, all brothers and everybody's eating right now. And

356
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 8: that's probably you can't say any other time in the

357
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 8: history of WWE that a young black man is, you know,

358
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 8: coming to the business and got pushed like this. So

359
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 8: that's no shade to anybody who came before us, because

360
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 8: I'm grateful for you know, the Shelton Benjamin's, the Booker T's,

361
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 8: et cetera. But you know, they laid down the footwork

362
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 8: for us to get this opportunity.

363
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 3: Now, wrestling is entertainment, but it's also a business as well.

364
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: When did you realize the business and say, you know what,

365
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 4: I have to make myself a brand so I could

366
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: be seen and I could be heard.

367
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: When did that come about?

368
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean very early, because like I wasn't always

369
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 8: like you know, people's favorite, you know, people's pick. Like

370
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 8: I started off, I was like a hype man. I

371
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 8: would talk trash on somebody else's behalf, and I wanted matches.

372
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 8: I wanted the spotlight. I wanted that stuff. I was like, dang, man, like,

373
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 8: I need to make myself popping so I can get

374
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 8: on the show myself, you know what I mean. And

375
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 8: so I started doing my own ventures on social media,

376
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, making little skits, you know,

377
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 8: making rap songs, I make dis tracks, you know what

378
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 8: I mean, on my opponents, doing whatever it tastes like,

379
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 8: Like I gotta get myself popping, and so I'm building

380
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 8: my own brand now.

381
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 7: At the same time, I was reading about a possible

382
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 7: face turn that they're saying might happen with you and

383
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 7: explain to people because I had to teach myself last night.

384
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 7: It's where the villain goes to the good guy.

385
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, storyline, that's right, Like in storytelling period, there's a

386
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 8: good guy bad guy, you know, one on one for storytelling,

387
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 8: he gets more complex. But you know the same thing

388
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 8: that we're doing wrestling, and right now I'm supposed to

389
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 8: be what we call it hell a bad guy. But

390
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, I'm one of those heels

391
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 8: that people tend to like, you know what I mean.

392
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: Everybody loves to heal.

393
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: Stone Cold was a hell turn into a you know ball.

394
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 7: Okay, person who don't really watch y'all. I always know

395
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 7: there's a good guy, bad guy, but I didn't know

396
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 7: that the terms of it.

397
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 8: The rock was a hill Hollywood rock, you know, and

398
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 8: see me personally, I like being the bad guy because

399
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 8: when you're the bad guy, you got more freedom to

400
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 8: be yourself, you know, when you live in this little

401
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 8: box when you're a good guy, like.

402
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: Hey, how you doing kids? Hey, let me sign this

403
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: for you? You know what I mean?

404
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 8: That's not real life. I feel more like a politician,

405
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, as a good guy, as

406
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 8: a hell.

407
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: I ain't worried about.

408
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: Pleasetograph, ain't.

00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I still might sign, but you know what

00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: I mean.

411
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 7: So it's actually that is going. That's the thing, because

412
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 7: it's reported, but I haven't seen it.

413
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: Oh man, don't believe nothing you see on y'all know

414
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: online is online.

415
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 7: It was reported that the face turn is happening, that

416
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 7: you're going to go from the bad guy to the

417
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 7: good guy.

418
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: Man, Man, don't believe Twitter. Now, Twitter, they say what

419
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: they want to say.

420
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 5: So you're still the bad guy right now.

421
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: I'm always the bad guy, okay.

422
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 5: And that's why you're saying, don't believe it.

423
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: Don't believe it.

424
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 8: I mean, but it doesn't matter because at this point

425
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 8: I just got to stay trick Williams, you know what

426
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 8: I mean. That's what's working. Good guy, bad guy. I

427
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 8: got taught my trash. I gotta look good that, I

428
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 8: gotta wear a coat underneath my coat, none of that.

429
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 8: I ain't gonna have no shirt on. Let's talk about it.

430
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: It's crazy, I'm thinking about it. I don't think there's

431
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: a good guy ever really liked.

432
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 6: I always liked the bad guy, even like you know

433
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, Like I like when Hoklgan became Hollywood Halla.

434
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: To me, he's like a heel too, I guess, I

435
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: mean he did he turned to a good guy heroist.

436
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 8: Like yeah, Seena was a good guy pretty much a

437
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 8: majority of his career until like this last little running

438
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 8: he turned back.

439
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

440
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 6: I like Sting when he was jumping out the raptors,

441
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 6: you know, dressed in all black guy but he would,

442
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 6: but we didn't know for so long what he was

443
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 6: when he went to the crow Era.

444
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

445
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 8: I to me personally, I don't think it even mattered.

446
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 8: Good guy bad guy. People like what they like, right period,

447
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. That's how I look at it,

448
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 8: Like good guy bad I don't really care, Like I

449
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 8: just wanted to be good and entertaining.

450
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: That's all I care.

451
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 7: When I looked at it, I was like, Okay, this

452
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 7: just means they know that the star is rising, so

453
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 7: they're trying to make sure that they like put around

454
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 7: you whatever you need, because I mean, you're already huge

455
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 7: in it, but they see it getting bigger because everyone

456
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 7: likes you.

457
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: You're likable.

458
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, I mean it is a compliment. So yeah,

459
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 8: I say, I just wanted to be good. I don't

460
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 8: really care.

461
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 5: You said you used to make distracts. You do music,

462
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 5: You're into music.

463
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: I do music, you know what I mean?

464
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 8: Like, I ain't gonna say like, oh, I'm hard down

465
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 8: trying to be a rapper, but you know I'm musically talented.

466
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

467
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that you're doing your free.

468
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 2: Time something I do in my free time.

469
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 5: Do you make your own. You still make the musical

470
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 5: when you were a hype man.

471
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I still make music. I still got some

472
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: projects I'm waiting to leak out, but you know, waiting

473
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: for the right time.

474
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: And is that heavy jealousy in wrestling? Because I look

475
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: at it like there's but so many.

476
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: Wrestlers that can make it to that spotlight, right, so

477
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 4: it got to be wrestless hating on each other, got

478
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 4: to be heavy jealousy.

479
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 3: It's not like football, with.

480
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: Is a bunch of teams, bunch of positions, like wrestling

481
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 4: is very small, right, Do you deal with a lot

482
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 4: of jealousy and how to handle it all the time?

483
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 8: I think I think that's in every field, but in wrestling,

484
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 8: you know specifically, Like I'm new to the game of wrestling,

485
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. I play football for twin

486
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 8: the years. I've been wrestling for five six years. So

487
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 8: to somebody who's been wrestling for fifteen years, they look

488
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 8: at me like, you know, why is he in the

489
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 8: top spot?

490
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a rookie, you know what I mean?

491
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 8: If he wasn't six foot five and two hundred and

492
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 8: fifty pounds and had abs and had the good hair

493
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 8: and chains and talk so much trash, then he wouldn't

494
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 8: be that good.

495
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: That's a lot of heat like everybody else.

496
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 8: But like that's that's the game of wrestling, you know,

497
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 8: point blank period. So man, you know how that is.

498
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 8: You just you shove that off.

499
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 5: But anybody ever try to hurt you in a ring

500
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 5: behind it?

501
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: I hope not, because I mean because at that point

502
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 2: you got to defend yourself.

503
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 5: Has that happened, to know what I'm saying, Has it happened?

504
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: Has anybody ever.

505
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: Tried to I don't.

506
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 5: I don't think off script and really like try to

507
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 5: hurt you.

508
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: I don't think it's pure malicious intent.

509
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 8: There's some people who are just thrown off in light

510
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 8: violence and if they do something like that, they expect

511
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 8: for you to do the same thing back to them.

512
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 8: But you know, somebody is saying, I don't like trick,

513
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 8: and I'm gonna try to punch him in the face

514
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 8: as hard as I can.

515
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: What's the word seeing happened to you in the in

00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, like you know Buster rounds, you know Smith, you

00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 8: know what I mean, Like, you know, Buster is the

543
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 8: main attraction, you know, And I was a guy making

544
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 8: sure that, hey, my guy wins at all times. I'm

545
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 8: doing everything in my power to make sure that they

546
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 8: look like a million bucks. Gotcha, And I did it well.

547
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 8: But you know that was the fun part, Like you

548
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 8: can build a rapport with the audience, you know, you

549
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 8: get comfortable in these different settings and scenarios. Now I'm

550
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 8: on the microphone, I'm doing intros and all this different stuff.

551
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 8: I'm getting better and leveling up, you know on somebody

552
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 8: else's behalf, you know, just growing behind the scenes, you know,

553
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 8: I mean, just working on my craft until you know,

554
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 8: I became the guy.

555
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 4: Do you pick that because it's like somebody like just

556
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 4: random do like I'm gonna be tricks hype man to

557
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: just start.

558
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: Nah.

559
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 8: Nah, it's not like that. Like a lot of people

560
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 8: who made decisions who you know, kind of put you

561
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 8: in position. But what the problem was, like I was

562
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 8: new into wrestling, so you can't just walk in and

563
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 8: be good, you know what I mean. It's like any

564
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 8: other craft. You gotta take years and years and years

565
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 8: to brush up on your move set and being a performer.

566
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 8: And I needed those reps in time to develop.

567
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: Gotcha.

568
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: How different is next from w W?

569
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I would say NXT is like deaf comedy

570
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 8: jam back in the day where you know what I mean,

571
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 8: it wasn't like the mainstream but had that good, gritty,

572
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 8: underground feel, you know what I mean, as opposed to

573
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 8: like you know, the big specials and everything like that,

574
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 8: the Kings of Comedy that's not down or raw, you

575
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 8: know what I mean, But death comedy jam that's how

576
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 8: we feel. You know, it's more intimate. It's more raw,

577
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 8: like people hungry. I would say, like college sports, but

578
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 8: they getting paid now, so is at the.

579
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: Same level of resources and everything else?

580
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

581
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, same performance center with based right there in Orlando.

582
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 8: People hungry, man like all different backgrounds like martial artists,

583
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 8: you know, basketball, football, hockey, table tennis, you know, indies

584
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 8: like everybody who's trying to break into the business and

585
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 8: blow up. You know, they got to come through NXT

586
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 8: more times than not all Sometimes I look at it

587
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 8: like they just had to combine last week like man, like,

588
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 8: you know, I feel like there's some untapped potential out there,

589
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 8: but i feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be,

590
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 8: so I'm cool with it.

591
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 9: Is more Is it more rules at WWE compared to NXC,

592
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 9: Like you'all could get away with more at next Well, NXT.

593
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 8: I would say, now it's way more like, way more

594
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 8: strict at NXT because you're not as polished, so they

595
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 8: want to make sure that you don't do nothing crazy

596
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 8: or stupid on TV. At NXT, like people been in

597
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 8: the business three minutes, you know what I mean, And

598
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 8: they don't live television, so you know, there's more producing,

599
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 8: there's more making sure that people are prepared for TV.

600
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 8: By the time you get the smack down a row.

601
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 8: It's literally your.

602
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: Own brand, Like go do what you gotta do to

603
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: make it work under the confide of what they give you. Permission,

604
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 2: of course, is still lucrative. Oh yeah, for sure. The show.

605
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: The show like definitely worth the switch from football to wrestling.

606
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 6: Would you rather be a Hall of Fame wide receiver

607
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 6: or Hall of Fame in wrestling?

608
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 8: I say this, what I love about wrestling being a

609
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 8: superstar is the fact I am a superstar. I took

610
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 8: the hymet off and people know me in different countries. Man,

611
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 8: I go to Jamaica on vacation. You know they whooped

612
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 8: that trick in Patois, you know what I mean. I

613
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 8: go to Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Man, they don't speak English.

614
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 8: They carn'ing whoop that trick. Football is a beautiful sport.

615
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 8: I played it for twenty years, but it's very American,

616
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. Like wrestling, you good around

617
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 8: the world. So it's just a whole different feeling, not

618
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 8: even though what's out there now you live in that

619
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 8: matrix or whatever you're doing. But you know, once you

620
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 8: branch out, you'd be like whoa, Like wrestling is huge.

621
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 6: I know WrestleMania forty two. WrestleMania forty two is happening

622
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 6: in April. How does wrestle Mania feel because it always

623
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 6: to me on the outside looking in, always look at

624
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 6: that as wrestling super Bowl.

625
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 8: It is, Yeah, it is super Bowl. It's right back

626
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,920
