I couldn't figure out what 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: I was going to do at fifteen years old. How 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: did that conversation with your parents even sound like that 20 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 2: you're gonna be a professional rest. 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 4: So it's funny because that conversation actually started six years 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 4: prior when I started training. Like I was lucky enough 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 4: that I've been blessed with the most surportant family and 24 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 4: support system I could ever ask far you know what 25 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 4: I'm saying, And I've always had the wrestling bug. Like 26 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 4: I like to tell people, I slid out of the 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 4: womb and took a back boot, straight back, you know 28 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like I was born with this, so 29 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 4: as soon I don't you want to say, as soon 30 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 4: as I was old enough, but like as soon as 31 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 4: I was able to direct myself through Google, I was 32 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 4: searching wrestling schools and we managed to find one. So 33 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 4: I hit with my first wrestling training session at nine 34 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 4: years old. I was training every single week since that, 35 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 4: I was doing training shows and then obviously I was 36 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 4: looking enough to make my. 37 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: Official debut on the British Indies at fifteen. 38 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: And an incredible career it has been. 39 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: And the fact that you're just twenty one and you're 40 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: just getting started, which is wild. Something else that's really 41 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: cool is you've got a background in jiu jitsu. Do 42 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: you still sneak some of that into your matches without 43 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: people realizing it? 44 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 4: You know what, I don't often find myself using it 45 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 4: a lot in matches. I'll be real most of the 46 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 4: time because I'm either open the sky or I'm kicking 47 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: someone's head off, or I'm dodging and I'm weaving. 48 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 3: But I will tell you it's very, very handy to 49 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: have in the back pocket. 50 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 4: So if anyone wants to get on the ground and 51 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 4: roll around, I'm them, and I'm there in the full 52 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 4: gud I'm there in the side control, you know. 53 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I know how to look after myself. 54 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 4: And it was you know what, it was actually a 55 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 4: big helping factor in I suppose me taking to wrestling 56 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 4: so quickly at such a young age. I did jiu 57 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 4: jitsu for five years when I was in primary school 58 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 4: or what you guys would call it elementary school home 59 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 4: throughout that time. 60 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 3: So by the time I started training and then they 61 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 3: were trying. 62 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 4: To teach me like bumps and all types of different 63 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 4: throws and stuff, I was like, oh, like, this is 64 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 4: what we did over there, but now there's just ropes 65 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 4: around the mats instead. So it was definitely a massive 66 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 4: helping hand and start in my wrestling. And it's nice 67 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 4: to know that if it comes down to it, the 68 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 4: youngest in charge knows how to look after himself a 69 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 4: little you know. 70 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, maybe he might bust some of those jiu 71 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: jitsu moves on Eric young and and just make him 72 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: tap out instead. 73 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: Of maybe maybe maybe right. 74 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: Now, I gotta ask, because you are the youngest X 75 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: Division champion when you go into that room peeking behind 76 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: the curtain and you're like, hey, I want this, I 77 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: want the title shot, I want this. Were you nervous 78 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: or did you just go for it and you talk 79 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: to the higher up and say give me this. 80 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 3: I was not nervous at all. Man, I'll be real, 81 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 3: because the X Division was my goal from dad one. 82 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 4: I remember, uh, the first time I told all of 83 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 4: my friends that I got scigned to TNA, I said 84 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 4: to them like, in these exact words, I'm gonna go 85 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 4: there and be this generation's edge Stiles. 86 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: I'm gonna do for this company what EDJ did twenty 87 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: years ago. You know what I mean. 88 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 4: In the first step on that list was to become 89 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 4: the X Division champion. So I was not shy at all. 90 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 4: Of course, I wanted to get my foot in the door. 91 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 4: I wanted to introduce myself, show them what I'm about 92 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 4: a little before I made the pitch. You gotta be 93 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: a little strategic with it. Now, you know what I mean, 94 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 4: but I was. I was definitely not shy of letting 95 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 4: the powers that know are the powers that be. No, 96 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 4: that was my goal and I wanted to be the 97 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 4: youngly sex Vision champion of all time. And obviously there 98 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 4: was a lot of tests put on that journey. There 99 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 4: was a lot of obstacles put in my way, but 100 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 4: I managed to conquer all of them and here we are. 101 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 102 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And of course you talk about that record books 103 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: of being the youngest Exavision champion. Somebody previously before you 104 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: that held that was Amazing Red, who We've had conversations, 105 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: you and I about Amazing Red. Did you ever talk 106 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: to Amazing Red about, hey man, I'm gonna break your record, 107 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: but you kind of go to him and talk to 108 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 2: him about it beforehand? 109 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: Or what was his response to it? 110 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 4: So me and Red actually had zero interaction until the 111 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: job was already kind of done, you know what I mean. 112 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 4: I remember the first time I met Red was Oh, no, 113 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: I lie, Actually I lie. The first time I met 114 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 4: Red was February twenty twenty five at the Jersey Jay Cup. 115 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 4: I suppose our first official meeting, but we didn't really 116 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 4: have time to chop it up. He was busy doing 117 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 4: his tournament matches. I was busy doing my tournament matches. 118 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 4: You know, everyone's resting two three times a day, so 119 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 4: it's hectic. But the first time that we properly met 120 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 4: and really had chances to sit down and talk was 121 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: actually at Summerversary. 122 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: Obviously, it was in New York. 123 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 4: It's in his back guard, and that guy's run New 124 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 4: York for the past twenty years, you know what I'm saying. 125 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: So being in his city about to break his record, 126 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie like. I was very curious to 127 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 4: how he would take it. But I have nothing but 128 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 4: positive words to say about Red. He's been nothing but 129 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 4: supportive and nothing but complimentary. I remember telling him actually 130 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 4: before I went out for the match, that I want 131 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: to make him proud, because obviously, in my heart and 132 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 4: in my mind, I knew that I was going to win, 133 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 4: and I said, I want to do the record proud, 134 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: and I want to do you proud. And he came 135 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 4: to me after the match and he told me that 136 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: I did, which was a very very cool thing for me. 137 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 4: And it was so cool that he brought me to 138 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: House of Glory to our last October. Me and him 139 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 4: had a a singles match for the Exhibition Championship. I 140 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 4: believe it was in his home promotion of House and Glory, 141 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 4: which was again another extremely cool moment for me, not 142 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 4: only walking into that match as the Exhibsion champion, facing 143 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: an exhibition legend, but facing the guy that previously held 144 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 4: the record that I broke. So yeah, I have nothing 145 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: but positive words to say about amazing, right. 146 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And speaking of legends and positive words, one 147 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: of the legends that you've been very linked to here 148 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: recently with TNA, Matt Hardy had some very nice things 149 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: to say about You had your back, so did Jeff. 150 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: What is something that Matt's or Jeff has told you 151 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: that has stuck with you. 152 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 4: That's a difficult one because I've been very, very lucky 153 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 4: to spend a lot of time with Matt and Jeff, 154 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 4: and I've heard them tell a lot of stories over 155 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 4: the past year or so. I've been taught a lot 156 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 4: of lessons over the past year or so. But I 157 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 4: think the most important thing that they've ever taught me 158 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 4: is that is how to be smart with my body. 159 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. And as a young wrestler 160 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 3: that wrestles my style. 161 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 4: You always hear like veterans and coaches and older people 162 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 4: tell you about this stuff, but it never really hits 163 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 4: the same because like these people, they haven't done the 164 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: stuff that Matt and Jeff have done. And obviously I 165 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: try and take something and off everybody. I'm open to 166 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 4: all advice. But when Matt and Jeff Hardy, two people 167 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 4: that are legendary for falling off things, crashing and burning, 168 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 4: doing these crazy stunts and putting their body at risks 169 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 4: for the past twenty thirty years, and telling you this like, 170 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 4: it means a whole lot more, you know what I'm saying, 171 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 4: And not only that for me as a young wrestler, 172 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 4: like I'm a very, very visual learner. I'm a visual learner. 173 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 4: So you can tell me something and I'll take it 174 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 4: in and I'll listen. But if you show me something, 175 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 4: I'll understand it. I'll be able to replicate it, you 176 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So it was one thing to 177 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 4: be told, oh, you got to slow down here, you 178 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 4: got to like maybe don't do the cornerpost dive or tonight, 179 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 4: maybe save that for the next week or whatever the 180 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: case is. It's one thing to be told that, but 181 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 4: then when you see how Matt and Jeff were applying 182 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 4: those lessons, like whether it was going through strategy for 183 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 4: the six month tags that we've done, or watching them 184 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 4: kind of strategize and plan for their for their. 185 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: Tag title defenses. 186 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, It's been very interesting for 187 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 4: me and it's been an invaluable experience for me to 188 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 4: see how those how those philosophies actually translate into into 189 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 4: the practice of wrestling, you know what I'm saying. 190 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And you talk about wrestling, and one thing 191 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: that's been really awesome is just to watch Leon Slater's 192 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: career over the past year. I mean, you've been on TNA, 193 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: you've been on NXT, you're on the indies, You're bounce 194 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: between all these different promotions, and obviously everybody has their 195 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: own way of doing things. 196 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: How do you reset between all that? 197 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 4: Truth be told, I don't like the past. Like you said, 198 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 4: the past year has really been a crazy one. You 199 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 4: know what it was. I had a sort of an 200 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 4: unlucky turn of events this year, But looking back on it, 201 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 4: I think it was actually very helpful for me, especially 202 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 4: in terms of a reset. Like I'm sure everyone heard 203 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: about the visa issues and the passport complications at the 204 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 4: start of this year as to why I had. 205 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: To miss some time with TNA. 206 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 4: But that being said, I got to spend like a 207 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 4: solid month and a half at home, which is the 208 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 4: most time that I've spent at home in a long, 209 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 4: long while, you know what I mean. And obviously, as 210 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 4: my indie schedulers started to slow down a little bit, 211 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 4: as I'm trying to you know, put into practice the 212 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 4: lessons that Matt and Jeffery teaching me about saving my 213 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 4: body and being smart, you know, I've found more time 214 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 4: to reset. Whereas before I was on the road two 215 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 4: three times a week, I was living in Orlando for 216 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 4: a couple of months. 217 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 3: You know I'm saying, I was here, there, and everywhere. 218 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 4: And don't get me wrong, I was extremely, extremely thankful 219 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 4: for that schedule because I'd rather be too busy than 220 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 4: not busy enough and be wondering where my next booking 221 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 4: is coming from, you know what I'm saying. But I 222 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 4: think again, like going back to what I was saying 223 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 4: before about my family and my support system, they always 224 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 4: make it super easy for me to reset, whether I'm 225 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: at home. 226 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: For three hours or three days or three weeks. 227 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 4: Like as soon as I touch bass, whether that's a 228 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 4: phone call, a fast time, or whether I'm here at 229 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 4: home like I am right now, they always make me 230 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 4: feel welcome and they always give me the reset that 231 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 4: I need. 232 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: So I'm extremely thankful for my family as well. 233 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, for sure. Family obviously a very big important thing. 234 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: And like you said, having a month off obviously did 235 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: wonders for you. You were able to, you know, rest 236 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 2: your body and not be out there, and it gets 237 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: you to prolong your career. And you know, speaking of careers, 238 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: I mean again, twenty one years old, you've got legendary 239 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 2: people putting their name out there. For Leon Slater, think 240 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: about it, AJ Styles, the Hardy's Amazing Red just to 241 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: name a few. 242 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: Again, does that add pressure. 243 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 2: That you have those legends talking highly about you or 244 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 2: is it more of motivation for you? 245 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: I'll be honest, it's neither. 246 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 4: Like I don't feel the pressure and it's not motivation 247 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 4: because I feel like since they one, since I've started training, 248 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 4: since before that, I've always pictured myself in this position 249 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 4: that I am now and beyond you know what I'm saying, 250 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 4: Like I pictured myself. I've always said I want to 251 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 4: be the greatest of all time. I want to complete wrestling. 252 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 4: I want to go everywhere, I want to do everything, 253 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 4: and by the end of it, I want to say 254 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 4: that I'm the best and I've completed it, you know 255 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So for me, it's not motivation, because 256 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 4: I already have my motivation, you know what I'm saying. 257 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: I feel like I'm already on the track that I'm on. 258 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 4: And don't get me wrong, it does spur me on, 259 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: like when you hear Jeff Hardy saying you're his favorite wrestler. 260 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 3: Like it's cool. It's cool, right, get me wrong. 261 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 4: But it's definitely not pressure because I think as I've 262 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 4: grown up and as I've kind of matured, and as 263 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 4: I've had more experience operating on this level, these guys 264 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 4: kind of go from like idols to my peers. Now, 265 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, which is something I still 266 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 4: have to pinch myself from like every other week that 267 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 4: I'm calling Jeff Hardy and my Hardi and Nick Namath 268 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 4: just styles my peers. 269 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. 270 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 4: Like it's mad, but you have to separate the fanboy 271 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: side from like the professional side, you know, what I'm saying. 272 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 4: So when I'm in the locker room, I don't see like, 273 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 4: oh my god, my Ardi, Jeff is matt Is, Jeff 274 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: is Nick. You know what I'm saying. So it definitely 275 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 4: means a lot to me to earn the respect from 276 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 4: my peers and have them, you know, like you said, 277 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 4: put that put their name out on the line for 278 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 4: me and and sing my praises in the media or 279 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 4: on podcasts or and promos.

And what's 334 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: that moment gonna feel like when you step in the 335 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: ring and you're face to face with rv D or 336 00:14:59,400 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: Jeff Hardy. 337 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 4: I think that that would be the pinnacle of what 338 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 4: I suppose we were just talking about, right, like of 339 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 4: having to shut that fanboy side of me out and 340 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 4: lock in and go to work, you know what I mean. 341 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 4: Like rv D and Jeff were, you know, two of 342 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: my top three guys growing up. 343 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 3: So for me to have a one on one with 344 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 3: either of those. 345 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 4: Guys and Matt, like Matt again is in this conversation 346 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 4: as well. I was lucky enough to tag against Matt 347 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 4: and Jeff with Cedric a couple months back at TNA, 348 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 4: and that was extremely surreal being on the opposite side 349 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 4: of the ring from those guys. So I can't even 350 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 4: imagine what a one on one would look like, you 351 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 4: know what I mean. 352 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: And like rv D and Jeff and Matt, all these 353 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: guys are wrestling like they were twenty years ago, you 354 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: know what I mean. 355 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 4: Like it's actually pretty terrifying how well these guys are 356 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 4: are aging. They're aging like very very fine wine, if 357 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 4: I do say so myself. And obviously I'm only getting better. 358 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 4: I'm getting bigger, stronger faster as time goes on. So 359 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 4: I feel like the longer we wait for this, the better. 360 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 3: It's going to be. In the more anticipation it's going 361 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 3: to have when it does happen. 362 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: I'm getting ghostbumps just thinking about it, just standing across 363 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: the ring, and it's it's Leon and RVD, and it's 364 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: Leon versus Jeff and it's Leon. 365 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: Which leads me to the next question. 366 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: Because we're always talking about fantasy booking, and last time 367 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: we had you on the show, we all had that 368 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: dream match of Leon versus Javon. Well, we got that 369 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: dream match and it was incredible and it was everything 370 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: that we expected it to be. 371 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: What's the next dream match now. 372 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: That you want to get in the ring with somebody 373 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: who is currently out there right now. 374 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 3: That's a real, real tricky question, man. 375 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 4: I think Javon was the dream match for so long, 376 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 4: and I was so focused on on on getting that match, 377 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 4: and when that match did happen, I was so focused 378 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 4: on making that the best that it could possibly be. 379 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 3: I guess my mind was kind of clouded to everyone else. 380 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: But now that I'm thinking about it, there is actually 381 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 4: one guy and it's very very possible, and it's very 382 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 4: very possible they could up in this year, and that 383 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 4: guy is Mike Santana. I think me and Mike have 384 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 4: been the two best guys that TNA has to offer. 385 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 4: And I'm throwing stuff Riley in there as well, and 386 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 4: Nick Nammat and obviously we have all these other great guys, 387 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 4: but especially the last six months, I think, especially since 388 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 4: I've I've had the Exhibition Championship, Uh, Mike Santana has 389 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 4: been the guy for TNA, you know what I mean. 390 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 4: And I've personally been chasing him to be the guy 391 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 4: in TNA. And I feel like it's only amount of 392 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 4: time until with clashing heads, whether that's for for my title, 393 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 4: whether that's for his title, I feel like for me, 394 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 4: that's a match that has to happen this year so 395 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 4: we can see who the best, uh that TNA really has. 396 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 2: Oh, that would be incredible because I mean when you 397 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,959 Speaker 2: guys were here in Nashville a few weeks ago, you know, 398 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 2: there there was that that talks of, you know, Will 399 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 2: Leon cashing options seeing on Mike Santana, how can they 400 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 2: how can they coexist in a tag match? And you know, 401 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: I think that's gonna be a fun match when we 402 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 2: finally get it. Leon versus Mike Santana, whether it's title 403 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: versus title, whether you can options see I know that 404 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 2: we'll go ahead and say that it'll get more than 405 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 2: a five star review from Meltzer. 406 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: For sure. 407 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 4: Absolutely, Man, absolutely, and you know options, he's always still 408 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 4: on the table. Man, Like you said, whether it's for mine, 409 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 4: whether it's for his. I think it's it's a much 410 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 4: that has to happen sooner rather than Leo. 411 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, for sure. 412 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: As we're coming to the end of our interview, we 413 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: always like to have fun towards the end.
