00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: Trip Too a little later on the show. But I

60
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: kind of want to ask you this. With everything going

61
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: on and pro wrestling, and you've dabbled in a lot

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 3: of different promotions, what's your take on the state of

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 3: pro wrestling at the moment. I mean, there's so many

64
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: new promotions, so many opportunities. I mean, there's wrestling on

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: seven days a week. What would you tell someone trying

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: to break into the business now or looking to make

67
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 3: a change from one promotion to the next.

68
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Well, that's a you know, I think that there's a

69
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: lot of more opportunities now that and certainly things in

70
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: the wrestling industry are blossoming back again now that you know,

71
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: restrictions are being lessened with you know, COVID and all that,

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: and the live audience is coming back, and a lot

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: of the independence coming back and a lot of new independence,

74
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, re emerging and some new ones starting up.

75
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: So I think that it's a good thing for an upstart,

76
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, in the professional wrestling industry to you know,

77
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: be coming in now. You know, of course during you know,

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: maybe a year or two ago during COVID would be

79
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: the worst time. So right I think that right now

80
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: is is a good time. And it seems like the

81
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: wrestling industry is booming back again, you know that now

82
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: that you know the world's opening back up, and certainly

83
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: the wrestling industry is opening back up too.

84
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: Definitely, absolutely. So this is kind of a fun question.

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 4: We've had your former tag team partner Lance Archer on

86
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: the show from at Least Squad Yeah big, you know,

87
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: he's a big friend of the show. What is he

88
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: like as a tag team partner when you guys work together,

89
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: and do you guys, do you see any kind of

90
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: reunion or even a collision down the road between you two?

91
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we had a lot of great chemistry

92
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: as a tag team. You know, we were you know,

93
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: like a big monster heel tag team over in Japan.

94
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: So whether or not that's going to re emerge or not,

95
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not exactly sure, but if it, if

96
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: it does, you know, if it organically happens, that would

97
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: be uh, you know, it might be might be really good.

98
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: I've seen them doing some really good stuff on AW.

99
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure beating up people's fun too.

100
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: So.

101
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: Can't beat that, definitely for sure, and something that you

102
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: can't beat that you gotta be at. Of course, it

103
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: is going down on April thirtieth Oak Grove, Kentucky.

104
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: The NWA is returning for Powertrip too, so if.

105
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: You're in the area, you could grab your tickets NWA

Speaker 3: ticks dot com. If you're not in the area, you're

107
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: gonna want to try to get to the area because

108
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: we're gonna find out what happens on Powertrip before you're

109
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: able to find out watching on fights, So just make

110
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: sure you're there at Oak Grove, Kentucky coming up on

111
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: April thirtieth. So, speaking of former tag team partners, TJ

112
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 3: of course, a lot of people Tyson Kidd has been

113
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: a producer with WWE for a number of years. Is

114
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: that something part of the industry that you want to

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: go to, like when you're done, when you want to

116
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: hang up the boots. Is that something you can see

117
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: yourself doing, like producing, writing, booking shows?

118
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know. That's too too soon to say

119
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: or to think about. I probably would probably not going

120
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: to booking just I think that it's it can be

121
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: a huge I mean, some people are like to do

122
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: it and you know, are great at it, but it's

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: it seems like it's very complicated and it's you know,

124
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: you can make a lot of enemies out of it. Unfortunately,

125
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: it's not like being a producer where you're just trying

126
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: to help along with the match and get things or

127
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: being a coach. So I'm not really sure he you know,

128
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: Tyson unfortunately with his neck injury happened, but he fell

129
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: really well into the producing job and he's he's doing

130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: an awesome job with that. I've seen a lot of

131
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: the matches that he's produced, you know, on WrestleMania's and

132
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: and pay per views and stuff like that, and he's

133
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of great ideas and a lot of

134
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, great things that he can add to, you know,

135
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: world title matches, and he's got a great line for

136
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: the business. So you know, he's very creative too. So

137
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: I you know what I made divulge. I'm not sure

138
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: I didn't really think about it, you know, but I

139
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: as so far as being a booker or promoter that

140
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: might be on the you know, x nay list.

141
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's one of those ones you can easily

142
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: take the little red mark and go nope.

143
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

144
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

145
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: Well, and it's kind of funny too, because you may not,

146
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 4: you know, you there may be a position that's not

147
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 4: even created yet that that you you know, in five years,

148
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: ten years, you're like, oh, this is you.

149
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.

150
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 5: You always say stories about you know.

151
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: I'm sure, I'm sure Tyson that may not have been

152
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: his first choice, you know, but then obviously right the

153
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: way the injury happened, and obviously he's thriving at it now,

154
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: you know.

155
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: So Yeah, it's really good. And you know, we've had.

156
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: Some some still in the past that I've worked with

157
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: him and just sung his praises. So really good to

158
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 4: see him, you know, thriving outside the ring.

159
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, Yeah, it's great and he's in great

160
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: shape again too.

161
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: So well, we had some rumors going on he might

162
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: be making a return, like he was hitting those ropes

163
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: like he was like twenty five.

164
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: We're like, what in the world? So who knows?

165
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: Hey, you never know, you never seen it, but I'm

166
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: not sure that. I guess that's up to him.

167
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well we'll see. Well let's move on to NWA.

168
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: So kind of you know, the last ten years of

169
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: wrestling's really seen this kind of new boom of wrestling,

170
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: you know, we hadn't seen in twenty thirty years. The

171
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: NWA obviously met a huge comeback. Billy Corgan about the company.

172
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 4: They're back more of a prominent promotion again. How did

173
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 4: you get involved with the company and were you you know,

174
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: were you a fan of the NBA growing up? Were

175
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 4: you able to catch any of the programs of different

176
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 4: territories when you were growing up?

177
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: Well, uh, you know, being born in Calgary, Western Canada,

178
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't necessarily grow up watching the NWA,

179
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: but I did it after I was about five or

180
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: six years old because we we had moved to uh

181
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: to Tampa, Florida, and we were able to get it

182
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: on you know, uh, National TV. But you know, back

183
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: in the day until my father Davey had gotten one

184
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: of those do you remember those big satellite dishes that

185
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: were like black and they were Yeah, I think he

186
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: got that in like eighty nine or maybe nineteen ninety

187
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: and then we were able to we were able to

188
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: get it through that, but normal you know, standard Canadian television,

189
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: we weren't able to. So but when we when I

190
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: moved to to Landa Lakes, I should say Florida, I

191
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: was able to watch you know, the NWA and it

192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: had turned into WCW. But you know, years later I

193
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: was able to watch a lot of the NWA and

194
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: thankfully to YouTube and a lot of the DVDs and

195
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: everything that have come out, there's been a tremendous amount

196
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: of you know superstars, you know that came out of there.

197
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, funny enough, my grandfather actually worked

198
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: with the nw A years ago, and you know, there

199
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: was there was some affiliation with the with the Crocketts

200
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: and Stu with you know, being rules and licensed under

201
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: the nw A and this and that, but they weren't

202
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: really able to do much of an exchange of talent.

203
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure for whatever reason. But I know Brett

204
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: came down to UH the US and worked for H

205
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: in Georgia for Georgia Championship Wrestling and the South, and

206
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: then Jim Knightheart did as well. So, but there's been

207
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: a really great resurgence with the new nw A that's

208
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: come about. And Billy Corgan has been a longtime friend

209
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: of mine and a friend of my cousin Natalia. So

210
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I got to work with Billy when I first left

211
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: w w WI in two thousand and twelve with his

212
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:15,239
Speaker 1: promotion resistance up Inago. Yeah. So I was his first

213
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: world heavyweight champion at the time, defeating Kevin Stein oh wow. Yeah,

214
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: and the sheet in a three way. So I was

215
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: doing that until I started going, you know, full time

216
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: with New Japan Pro Wrestling, and then I had to

217
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, relinquish the title. But the the storyline was

218
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: that I sent it back in like a ups box,

219
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: you know, because I was I had turned heel and

220
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: Raven was my manager at the time with UH loud'angelo.

221
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: So yeah. So so that relationship with Billy has been

222
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: for quite some time and it's been a very good

223
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: and strong one and I would I really respect Billy

224
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: what he's doing with the n w A. He's so

225
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: far he's been running it, uh very well, and you

226
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: know he's he really appreciates and respects the old school

227
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: style of wrestling, and you know, it's it's just great

228
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: to see that he's he's brought that up, you know

229
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: about and you know him bringing me in was a

230
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: really good thing. And uh, watching my matches back it,

231
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's been looks like I'm a good fit

232
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: for there.

233
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 4: Yeah. Sorry, you guys had a good run in the

234
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 4: Cracker Cup two.

235
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: We are there that.

236
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 4: Weekend and uh, okay, yeah, yeah, so I don't know

237
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: if you saw the shirt or not. Yeah, but uh

238
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: but yeah, I think, you know, probably just because a

239
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 4: lot you know, you and Doug maybe not tagged as

240
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 4: much as like Doug and Nick kind of a do.

241
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 4: I think there was some kind of apprehension. But but yeah,

242
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: I think you kind of really surprise a lot of people,

243
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: you know, because you know, when you have those kind

244
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 4: of throw together tag teams, you don't know, you know,

245
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 4: who knows what's gonna happen.

246
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, but but yeah, you guys had a good run.

247
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 5: What was the Krockett Cup experience? Like for you guys.

248
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: Well, it was awesome to be a part of the

249
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: Crockett Cup.

250
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 5: You know.

251
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Uh, there was certainly a lot of great tag teams there,

252
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: like the Brisco Brothers and you know, many others, and uh,

253
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's just a lot of lineage, a lot

254
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: of history, and teaming with Doug, I think that for

255
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: the first time that it happened, we had pretty good

256
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: chemistry and it was just fun to see a lot

257
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: of the guys that I worked with before in WWE,

258
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: and and you know, they have a pretty good, really

259
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: good crew there. I think it's a really solid crew.

260
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: So it was definitely an honor to be a part

261
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: of the Crockett Cup. Yeah.

262
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

263
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: And I mean when we were sitting there watching it

264
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: and we you know, we saw that Nick was going

265
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: to go after the title, I was like, Okay, who's

266
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: gonna get you know, who's going to replace Nick?

267
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: Who's it going to be? And they we we were

268
00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: racking our brain.

269
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: And when they announced you, I was like me and

270
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: Eli text each other like perfect fit. If there anybody

271
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: to slide into this this role of tag team partners

272
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 3: with Doc, I was like, I was like, there's your

273
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 3: front runners, right, there to win the Crockett Yeah, thank you,

274
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: but we were super stoked about that when it happened.

275
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: And now let's kind of transition to upcoming. There's a

276
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: big match that you've got going on. It's on April

277
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: thirty Power Trip two. Uh, you've got Mike Knox.

278
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

279
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: Some are calling this.

280
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: Like the extension to the current feud for the World's

281
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: Championship between all this and Cardona.

282
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: What's your take on that?

283
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: Your opponent and you, uh.

284
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: You know that match heading into.

285
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: It, Well, I'm definitely looking forward to it. I think

286
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: that it's going to be a hard hitting, uh, very good,

287
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, heavyweight style match. And I've known Mike Knox

288
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: for quite some time, you know. Actually it was funny,

289
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: uh geez. I was only twenty years old at the time,

290
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: I think. But he was one of my first dark

291
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: matches for RAW.

292
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: Oh really, I.

293
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: Think he was my first dark match actually so and

294
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: I was victorious, so hopefully I'll be victorious again coming

295
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: up April thirtieth. But Mike's you know, he's a really agile, big,

296
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: strong heavyweight. You know, he moves around to the ring

297
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: really well. We got to work with each other a

298
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: little bit somemoned afterwards WW two. So I'm certainly looking

299
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: forward to it, and hey, man, let the best man.

300
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: Win definitely for sure. And of course you're on this show,

301
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: so you're going to go on to win.

302
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: And kind of speaking of I guess the NWA, what's

303
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: your plans for I guess the immediate future with the NWA.

304
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: And could we see you going after that ten pounds

305
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: of gold in the future.

306
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: I would certainly say that's a fair assumption. Yeah, very

307
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: fair assumption. So but you know, I got to get

308
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: past Mike Knox first.

309
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: And but she'll do easy.

310
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure you know. Once once that's you know,

311
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: taking care of. I'm certainly intrigued and have my eyes

Speaker 4: and then he went on to win the title, and

327
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 4: so kind of bouncing off what you were just saying,

328
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: it's kind of like, you know, people, you don't go

Speaker 4: I mean, Like everybody wants to be the champ, you know,

332
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 4: from the you know, from the time you're five years old.

333
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: So absolutely, yes, yeah.

334
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely, well bouncing off of that championship over to the

335
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: tag championships.

336
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 5: So you're one of the most accomplished tag team champions

337
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 5: in wrestling right now. And that's not a you know,

338
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 5: that's not a buzz. I mean, it really is.

339
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 4: You You've you've held championships all over. Some promotions in

340
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 4: modern wrestling really aren't as high on tag wrestling, and yeah,

341
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 4: sure you know who we're referring to. Do you think

342
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: tag wrestling still has a strong place in today's landscape

343
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: or you know where what do you think of the

344
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 4: modern product as far as tag team wrestling goes.

345
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: Uh, I think that it's certainly very important, you know,

346
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: but whether other companies don't you know, preferred or not,

347
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: that's that's their opinion. I hope that there's still a

348
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: lot of longevity and an important place for tag team

349
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: wrestling in you know, in wrestling. So, you know, I

350
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: certainly think that it just there just needs to be

351
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: the guys that are coming up that you know, have

352
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: chemistry with each other, that have passion for tag team wrestling,

353
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: and those are gonna be the guys that are able

354
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: to you know, not save it, but hopefully be able

355
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: to improve on it and and uh, you know, kind

356
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: of bring it back to life.

357
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

358
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 4: Well, and there's so many different stories you can tell

359
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 4: from tag you know what I mean. I mean, it's

360
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 4: not you know, it's not like a time filler. I

361
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 4: mean there, I mean, there's a lot of stories that

362
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 4: can come in and out of tag team and stuff,

363
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 4: and when it's done right, there's nothing. Yeah you know,

364
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,520

Speaker 1: friend of mine and my sort of my mentor and

386
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,600

Speaker 1: I would like to battle with Minora Suzuki. That's battling

388
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: and tag team matches, but singles wise, Masakatsu Finaki, who's

389
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: now in Japan. I got to battle him once in

390

456
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: of going back and then they kind of closed the

457
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,960
