But first, 30 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 4: let me say Congratsrate Order for recently re signing with 31 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 4: Rink of Honor. Was this an easy or hard decision? 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 4: And you know you're a big superstar? Were there other 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 4: offers on the table? 34 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: To me? One of the easiest decisions of my life. 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: H You know, I'm a big proponent of loyalty. If 36 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: if you treat me well, then I will treat you 37 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: well in return. And I think there's something to be 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: said for not just going to the highest bidder. For instance, 39 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: my former employer, Impact Wrestling, I still think to this 40 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: day if they had never let. 41 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,839 Speaker 2: Me go, then I would be there. 42 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: They gave me the greatest night of my life, one 43 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: of them wrestling my idol, Rick Flair. I would have 44 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: spent my career there, but unfortunately that didn't happen. And 45 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: Ring of Honor has treated me so well. They've made 46 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: me the faith of their company. They put two bots 47 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: on me at one time, I don't have a negative 48 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: thing to say about them. 49 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: So yeah, no, it was very easy decision for me 50 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: to stay nice. 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, it seems for a lot of guys. You know, 52 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 5: respect is just as important as the paycheck. 53 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: You know, it's it's a huge thing. It's huge. 54 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's something literally that you don't understand until 55 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: you're in the situation. On the outside looking in, of course, 56 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: well why didn't wouldn't you go here? Isn't this is 57 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: where you can make the most money, or don't you 58 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: want to do this? This stage is bigger, blah blah blah. 59 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: But literally, until you're in it, then you won't really 60 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: grasp Sometimes when a parcket says, oh no, I just 61 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: I'd rather stay here, you can't see everything that they see. 62 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, totally. 63 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 5: Well, obviously, you know, the big story last year was COVID, 64 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 5: uh unfortunately and it affected everyone. Uh what were you 65 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 5: What were the biggest challenges pertaining to COVID for you 66 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 5: in particular? And then also Ring of Honor, who obviously 67 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 5: got praises for how they handled you know, uh, the 68 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 5: pandemic with their talent and stuff. 69 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 2: Well, the main thing was just not trying to lose 70 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: my mind. Uh, it was. 71 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: The longest stretch of time I've ever been home in 72 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: my in my life as long as I can remember. 73 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: So there was the initial shock and fear as well. 74 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: I really thought, and I was terrified, I really. 75 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: Thought, and still due to some degree, that this. 76 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: COVID could have and could end professional wrestling for the 77 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: foreseeable future. And that's all I kept thinking, Oh my goodness. 78 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: And then you know, shows were getting shut down, and 79 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: now no one's performing, and we're having these Ring of 80 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: Honor zoom meetings with the whole company. And in these 81 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: zoom meetings, the owner of Ring of Honor, Joe Coffee, 82 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, well, I don't want to really do 83 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: the inty arena matches. I don't want to put my 84 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: wrestlers in the hotels and in the airport. So you 85 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: guys just sit tight at home. And you know right 86 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: away when you hear that, I mean, it's sometimes you 87 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: can think of it like. 88 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: Well, we're getting paid to stay home. 89 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: This is amazing, you know what I mean, which is 90 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: essentially what he was saying, stay home. We're still going 91 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: to pay. And no one's check was late, and no 92 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: one got furloughed. Thanks a by the grace of God, 93 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: no one was let go. But then there was also 94 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: a large part of it like, well, if we don't 95 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: start doing something soon, this could not be well for us, 96 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: Especially from a company's standpoint. We're sitting all of our 97 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: employees home and they're not producing content. 98 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: It was just a I I really feared for the worst. 99 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think a lot of people had a gloomy 100 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 5: outlook when it all started. 101 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: But luckily management realized that a lot of us were 102 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: happy with going back to work. 103 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 2: They put this anonymous poll out there to see who. 104 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: Would be okay? Are you okay traveling? Would you be 105 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: okay doing this? If we had to fly tomorrow, would 106 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: you be okay? And I mean, of course amongst the 107 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: boys and the wrestlers we talk, so I can't think 108 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: of a single person who didn't answer that form with 109 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: a resounding yes, we would be okay with it. Let 110 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: we just want to get back to work. I'll wrestle 111 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: in front of two people for the rest of my 112 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: life if I have to, and there's a lot of 113 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: us who knows what that feels like.

I will say 179 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 4: that I was a worried when it was you and 180 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 4: Gresham and the R O H Pure Tournament, and I 181 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 4: was like, are we about to see them split up? 182 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 4: If this goes the way we think it's going to 183 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 4: go and that the entire time. 184 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: I loved every second of that. 185 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: No spoilers were leaked, even though that whole tournament was 186 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: all pre recorded, and the feel of it really, I mean, 187 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: everybody thought that it was going to come down to 188 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: me and Gresham, and man, I just I love that 189 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: whole feeling. And when the second I lost to Tracy 190 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: and you realize, oh my god, it's not going to 191 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: come down to leap On Gresham, I think then it 192 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: was a big surprise and shot to most people. We 193 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: tried heavily to get people to think that it was 194 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: going to come down to me and Gresham, and I 195 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: really thought it. 196 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, we bought it. 197 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 4: And we we had Tracy on right before you know, 198 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 4: your match with him, Well, we had Tracy after his film, 199 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 4: but he didn't tell us on the show, and I 200 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 4: was like, oh my god, like, I really think that 201 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 4: we're about to see Gresham and Lethal put on a 202 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: clinic for the ROH Pure title. But then I got 203 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 4: worded because I was like, if it happens, is there 204 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 4: going to be animosity? Is is Gresham gonna have some 205 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 4: some heat against Lethal for winning? Is Lethal gonna have 206 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 4: like are we going to see this get split up, 207 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 4: and thankfully it didn't happen. 208 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 5: So yeah, if this was like you know, the big uh, 209 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 5: the big company up north, that's what they would have done. 210 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 5: They would have put those two together try to hint 211 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 5: at a breakup. And it's just it's so predictable, and 212 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 5: I think the way everything unfolded it was it just 213 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 5: added more to it, you know. 214 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I thank you, thank you for saying that. 215 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: That's awesome. 216 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 5: So spinning off from that, you guys, you know, last 217 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 5: year was obviously a big year for you guys, and 218 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 5: then Grisham individually you know, started the foundation uh new 219 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 5: faction with that. Actually, congrats to that. You won Faction 220 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 5: of the Year with that as well. This is the 221 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 5: j Lethal Award Show. 222 00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 6: This is a look. 223 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: Like I can't take I can't take too much credit. 224 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: I think the pandemic is helping out tremendously perfect timing. 225 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, how how did how did you know? 226 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 4: How did that faction come to be? You know, was 227 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 4: it organic? 228 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: You know? 229 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 5: And then also, uh, what do you what would you 230 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 5: say is the mission statement behind the group? 231 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: Well, the group came about mainly due to Jonathan Gresham. 232 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: This is uh his brain child, so to speak. That 233 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: he went to the the powers that be and explain 234 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: this group and they loved it, and then then we 235 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: started this foundation. 236 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 2: Now, the premise behind. 237 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: It, from the way it was explained to me from 238 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Jonathan Gresham, is guys like Jonathan Gresham, Guys like Hot Sauce, 239 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: Tracy Williams and Rhet Titus. The Foundation represents the guys 240 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: like this who who have traveled the world, wrestled for years, 241 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: damn near perfected what they do, but they have never 242 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: been given the proper shake. They've never been giving the acknowledgement. 243 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: They've never been giving those big matches on the grand stage. 244 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: That was the and is the premise of the Foundation. 245 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: Those cornerstone guys that always have those solid matches, but 246 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: they're not never given that Maine Evan spot. So yeah, 247 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: that's pretty much what the Foundation is pretty much all about. 248 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: Now we've got this thing where we're trying to restore 249 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: honor and Ring of Honor. The Foundation is tired of, 250 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,479 Speaker 1: you know, storyline wise, we're tired of all the brawling 251 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: and the fighting on the floor. 252 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: That's not what wrestling is, that's not what Ring of 253 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: Honor was. 254 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: Built upon it was you know, two guys in the ring, 255 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: keeping it in the ring and seeing what they got. 256 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 2: Who is the best wrestler? When you think of that, 257 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 2: you think of guys like. 258 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: Aj Styles versus Brian Daniel or Daniel Brien depending on 259 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: when you met him, or guys like Samoa Joe versus 260 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: Nigel McGinnis. Yeah, just so pretty much stuff like that 261 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: bring the foundations trying to restore honor storyline wise, but 262 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: the basic premise initially is giving these guys, who these 263 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: really great technical wrestlers a chance because they weren't given 264 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: a chance before, and they can really excel in this 265 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: pure tournament division. 266 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: And the coolest thing about this preer. 267 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: Tournament I thought and the pure wrestling division was, you know, 268 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: during the pandemic, there's no crowd, right, so that's going 269 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: to be a tough hurdle to get over. 270 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: For a lot of wrestling. And I make this joke 271 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: all the time. 272 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: For years, professional wrestlers and wrestling companies has tried to 273 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: convince the audience that they are not a part of 274 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: the show, they are just spectators. But now more than ever, 275 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: it is a parent that we were lying. They are 276 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: a large part of the show, and. 277 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,359 Speaker 2: Now they know it clearly because of this pandemic. 278 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: They know it so much that some companies put up 279 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: screens just to have their faces shown on TV because 280 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: they are as much part of the show as we are. 281 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: We just didn't want them to realize that. 282 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: So with them said, you know, normal traditional wrestling, there's 283 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, the crowd gets to boot somebody and they 284 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: get to cheer someone. So without the crowd, they're noise 285 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: being cheered or bowed. There's not that fan crowd interaction. 286 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: You've got to find other ways around that. And the 287 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: best way to do that, we thought was to introduce 288 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: his Pure Division, where we kind of blur the lines 289 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: of who is good and who is bad, and we 290 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: focus everything on the in ring competition who can wrestle 291 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: the best. And we did such a great job with 292 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: these venue yes and these promos and these video packages. 293 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: Before the match, just like you'd see like an MMA fight, 294 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: you get a little video package, a little bit of 295 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: background and how good this guy is and the way 296 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: they trained and how well they trained. It really did 297 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: a great job of setting your mind up to say 298 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: and to make you in the thought process of you're 299 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: not going to see normal crash course wrestling. There's nothing 300 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: wrong with crash course wrestling. I love diving out of 301 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: the ring as much as the next wrestler, but we 302 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: had to try something different here and it was everything 303 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: was the way it's done. It really sets your brain 304 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: up to think, Okay, we're about to see actually wrestling here. 305 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: So man, it just it was so great the videos 306 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: before the matches and then these heavily technical based matches. 307 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: I feel like it just worked so well, man. 308 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 4: And it's it's been phenomenal to watch actual wrestling. Like 309 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 4: like you said, don't get me wrong, the crash course 310 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 4: is great for the awe, but like seeing you guys 311 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: go at it strictly wrestling rules makes everything fun to watch, 312 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 4: which kind of leads into the next question, Like, you know, 313 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 4: you mentioned that the pure rules is a big thing 314 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 4: for you and some other stuff.

That's why everybody's 325 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: matches are different. You're watching what each individual wrestler likes 326 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: about wrestling or what they think is the coolest thing 327 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: about wrestling, and they put those aspects into their matches. 328 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: For me, I am a big believer in if there 329 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: are too many title belts, then they're not as special. 330 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: Although that is a great idea, I would love to 331 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: see something like that would be so cool, I would 332 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: actually decline it because when there's so many belts and 333 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: nothing against boxing.

Well, 428 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: sometimes the first thought should be, well, what do our 429 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: fans get out of it? Because they're the ones who 430 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: ultimately win. If you and I had both separate companies 431 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: and I, you know, obviously, let's say your company is. 432 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 2: Doing way better than mine. 433 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: Obviously, sure there is some part of it where I 434 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: get some kind of rub from partnering up with you, 435 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: and because your company is bigger than mine, you wouldn't really. 436 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: Be getting anything if you look at it like that. 437 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 2: But ultimately, the first thing we got to think of, 438 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 2: I think is and I hadn't been thought of until now. 439 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 2: The fans are the ones who are winning. 440 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: Like I saw on the internet when Adew started working 441 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: with Impact Wrestling, I saw so many Well, what is 442 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: aw you get out of that?
