Tell us what 26 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 4: led you to wrestling and have you always been a 27 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 4: fan of it? 28 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 6: I have always always been a fan of wrestling since 29 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 6: my earliest memory as a young kid, Probably about my 30 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 6: son's age, maybe a little earlier, because I have a 31 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 6: son who's seven years old and he's obsessed right now too, 32 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 6: which is which is cool, But probably around his age, 33 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 6: maybe a little younger. My earliest memories just being sat 34 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 6: in front of the TV watching wrestling, watching these larger 35 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 6: than life characters like Hogan and you know, Halcamania and 36 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 6: Ultimate Warrior and these guys just jumping out of the 37 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 6: screen at me as a little kid in Hal Cogan 38 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 6: telling me to say my prayers, you know, take my 39 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 6: vitamins and train hard, and I can accomplish anything. So 40 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 6: being such a young kid and easily influenced by these superheroes, 41 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 6: larger than life characters, I mean it was. I was 42 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 6: hooked from that point on and always been a fan, 43 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 6: and then watched it growing up, of course, and there 44 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 6: was a time when I was in high school where 45 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 6: I kind of fell out of it because a little 46 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 6: my interests changed, yeah, exactly. But then I joined the 47 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 6: Army shortly there after high school, and it was during 48 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 6: my deployments to Iraq where I fell back in love 49 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 6: with wrestling because what I love about pro wrestling is 50 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 6: that it the entertainment aspect and the fact that you 51 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 6: can escape reality, the grind that you're dealing with, whatever 52 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 6: it is in your real life, you can escape that 53 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 6: for a couple hours and just be entertained by the 54 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 6: story that's being presented to you in the ring, by 55 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 6: whoever's in the ring. And so when I was in 56 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 6: Iraq doing with those things that everyday mission, it was 57 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 6: cool to get on Amazon or whatever website and get 58 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 6: wrestling DVD shipped over to us that we could watch 59 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 6: on our downtime and just kind of escape that environment 60 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 6: over there and fall back in love with wrestling. And 61 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 6: it was during my second deployment to Iraq, and I 62 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 6: was watching a DVD with a couple of my buddies 63 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 6: on my downtime and they said, one of them just said, hey, 64 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 6: why don't you do this. You're getting back from my rack, 65 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 6: you're transitioning out of the army. Why don't you pursue it. 66 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 6: And it didn't take much persuasion for me to be like, 67 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 6: you know what, let's do it. I'm going to do it. 68 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 6: Let's figure out how to do it, and we I 69 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 6: hopped on Google because I didn't know at the time. 70 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 6: Alls I knew was what I saw the on TV 71 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 6: before and then the DD DVD, so I knew, you know, 72 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 6: w WE WCW before it went under and TNA, and 73 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 6: so I did some research. We did some research and 74 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 6: found out that there was wrestling schools all across the nation, 75 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 6: and it was just a matter of doing some research 76 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 6: and figuring out which one I wanted to go to. Luckily, 77 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 6: when I got back, I found one out of Nashville, 78 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 6: an NWA affiliate that had a pretty decent program, training 79 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 6: program running, and I just jumped right in. Hey, crazy 80 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 6: stuff right there. 81 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: You mentioned your military background. What do you think was 82 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: the biggest challenge from the training aspect, you know, because 83 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: obviously you have to be pretty fit to be in 84 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: the military, But what was the biggest challenge, you know, 85 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: training to be a pro wrestler. 86 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 6: I came in to training to be a wrestler pretty 87 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 6: decent shape already from the military, because they have you 88 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 6: doing physical training every day in the Army. You know, 89 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 6: you're running miles at a time, You're doing all these 90 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 6: push ups and sit ups, going to the gym on 91 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 6: top of that, so it wasn't necessarily the physical physical 92 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 6: aspect of it. I think what frustrated me, or what 93 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 6: was the hardest for me was the lack of structure 94 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 6: in my training, meaning I would drive an hour and 95 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 6: a half to Lebanon or I'm sorry, Laverne, Tennessee to 96 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 6: do training once or twice a week, and I wanted more. 97 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 6: I wanted, I want needed every day. I wanted every day. 98 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,119 Speaker 6: I wanted to move faster along, and I just didn't 99 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 6: have that luxury or opportunity. So I think that was 100 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 6: the most frustrating aspect at that time because everything I 101 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 6: was doing in the ring was I was catching on 102 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 6: fairly quickly, and you know, my trainer would tell me 103 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 6: that I was picking things up fast and naturally, so 104 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 6: that was good for progression. But it was just a 105 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 6: lack of structure and in that proper training environment, I 106 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 6: guess because it was very unstructured training. I mean, you 107 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 6: guys are familiar with some of the indies that have 108 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 6: been around Tennessee for a while, so you can imagine 109 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 6: I was just piggybacking training off of some of those 110 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 6: indie shows and you know, hopping in the ring when 111 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 6: I could before there's these events, you know, and that's 112 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 6: kind of where it was. That was the most. That 113 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 6: was the hardest thing is I wanted to move faster. 114 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 4: And you kind of mentioned about being on the indies 115 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 4: and you had to run in the indies and you 116 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 4: face some pretty big name people like Johnny Gargano among them. 117 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: What's it like hitting the indies during I guess that 118 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 4: sort of wrestling renaissance. 119 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 6: So, like I mentioned before, all I knew before finding 120 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 6: a wrestling school in Nashville was what I saw on TV. 121 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 6: So I really had no idea this whole indie scene 122 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 6: existed until I started training, and it was kind of 123 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 6: almost a culture shocked a bit, and it took a 124 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 6: bit to kind of understand, a little time to understand 125 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 6: the concept. But once you put it in a perspective 126 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 6: like it's it's the same as any other form of entertainment. 127 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 6: Someone wanted to become a musician or a stand up 128 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 6: comedian or an actor and actress. It's like you got 129 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 6: to start on the lower level and grind your way 130 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 6: up to the top. And there's the same in wrestling. 131 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 6: And it was what indies weren't the same back then 132 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 6: as they are today, but they weren't bad. It was 133 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 6: every indie show I did was a repetition, and I 134 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 6: just had to tell myself that whether they were good 135 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 6: or bad, you know, it was another rep and another 136 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 6: step closer to the ultimate goal. And it was I'll 137 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 6: be honest. Like the indies today, I love I love it. 138 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 6: There's the because of technology and the spread of information 139 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 6: and social media. I mean, the indies are thriving today 140 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 6: and it's awesome, awesome to see. 141 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's wild. I mean you don't have to. You know, 142 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 2: twenty years ago you had to WWF, you had to 143 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: do w CW and like you really don't have to 144 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: now now there's you look at Moxley. Well that's a 145 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: bad example. But you know, I mean there are people 146 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: that are leaving the big leads and going indies and. 147 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean from what I can tell, I mean 148 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 6: I do. I probably don't get or seek out enough 149 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 6: information as I should. But you know, one name that's 150 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 6: come across recently was Joey Ryan that he turned down, 151 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 6: you know, a big contract or whatever to stay on 152 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 6: the indies because he's making a good living on the 153 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 6: ias and that's I I feel that's the case for 154 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 6: a lot of people these days. 155 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's that. And he also is really 156 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: adamant about you know, I want to be one hundred percent. 157 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: I don't want to be seventy five. 158 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 6: I want to be fifty. 159 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: And you know, for a lot of those guys, you know, 160 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: they've they've developed this character for years and years and years, 161 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: So why would you water it down just to make 162 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: about the same amount of money? 163 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 4: You know? 164 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, that makes sense, I get it. Yeah, definitely. 165 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: Well kind of moving on from that, you know, you're 166 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: probably most well known for, you know, TNA Impact. How 167 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: did you get involved with them? Is it a tryout 168 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: or did they just come by like, oh you'll do? 169 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 6: Like, how did that happen?

I was on early. Then I was 187 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 6: gonna hop in the car in my gear and drive 188 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 6: down the road I think to Carthage and there was 189 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 6: an event going on there in which Terry Taylor was at, 190 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 6: who was an agent for Impact Wrestling at the time 191 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 6: and Talent Relations, and he was there to basically scout 192 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 6: I guess one of the wrestlers that the promoter there 193 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 6: was pretty high on. I had no idea he was 194 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 6: going to be there. I don't think he knew I 195 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 6: was either. He was there to see somebody else. But 196 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 6: I basically got to the building. My music almost hit 197 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 6: right as I walked in, so I went straight to 198 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 6: the ring, did the match, got to the back, and 199 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 6: then Terry Taylor just followed me straight to the back 200 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 6: and asked me some information about myself. We exchanged contact 201 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 6: info and he said to keep in touch and basically 202 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 6: I bugged him, hit him up every once in a while, 203 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 6: Hey what can I do? What do I need to 204 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 6: do to get better or to get an opportunity or 205 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 6: a shot, And he gave me some great advice and 206 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 6: I just kept was persistent with it, and eventually they 207 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 6: brought me down to a Lando to have a dark 208 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 6: match in which I wrestled Jay Lethal and got great feedback. 209 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 6: And again it was just being persistent and following up 210 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 6: with them because it wasn't an offer that I got 211 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 6: right right after that match. They liked me and they 212 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 6: saw potential, but I had to keep in contact with 213 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 6: them to get several more dark matches. I think three, 214 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 6: probably three more dark matches before they finally pulled the trigger, 215 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 6: pulled the trigger and had me sign the contract. 216 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 2: Well, Jay Lethal, that sounds like a pretty impressive dark match. 217 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. I was very fortunate to have someone 218 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 6: as good as him to really honestly carry me through that. 219 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 6: I was very unexperienced and young at the time, very 220 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 6: new to the to the business. So I was lucky 221 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 6: to be out there with him and it went really well. 222 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 6: And you know, there, I really wanted it. I really 223 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 6: wanted to be there. I wanted to make it, so 224 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 6: I just kept knocking on the door until they finally 225 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 6: let me in. 226 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a slow process. 227 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 6: From what i've it can be. Yeah, it can be. 228 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 6: If if if you haven't built your brand on the indies, 229 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 6: which today is a lot I wouldn't want to say easier, 230 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 6: but you have a lot more opportunity to do that 231 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 6: on your own back then not so much. But if 232 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 6: you if you haven't built your brand up and you're 233 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 6: highly desired, I mean it's it can be a bit 234 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 6: of a lengthy process to get in the door. 235 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 4: Now, let's kind of stay on the topic of impact, 236 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 4: because I kind of want to know this from your 237 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 4: point of view.

What's the 290 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 4: first thing that's going through your mind. Something that I 291 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 4: always like to ask wrestlers just to kind of what's. 292 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 6: What's some of the answers you've heard before. 293 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: You just kind of heard like I'm ready to go 294 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 5: kick his ass.

But my 300 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 6: guess main concern or thought process before I go out 301 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 6: nowadays is being able. Am I gonna be able to 302 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 6: connect with that crowd out there or what that? How's 303 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 6: that crowd going to react? Because that's what matters. It's 304 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 6: making that connection with the audience. Every match is not 305 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 6: going to go how you want it to go. It's 306 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 6: not gonna be perfect or you know, it's just if. 307 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 6: It doesn't matter though, as long as you can make 308 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 6: that connection and get that response that you want to 309 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 6: listen from that audience. So that's kind of what I 310 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 6: think about before. 311 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: I go out, just how to connect what you're gonna do? 312 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, what I can do out there to connect 313 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 6: with that audience, because that's what matters is is creating 314 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 6: those experiences for that audience and making them enjoy that moment. 315 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 4: Man, it's just it's great hearing these story Crimson as 316 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 4: our guests in the studio.

But I didn't 335 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 6: get a chance to wrestle at the Asylum with TNA. 336 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 6: My first match with them was in Orlando at the 337 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 6: Impact Zone, So that's what I knew about that, and 338 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 6: so I didn't have the the opportunity to get into 339 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 6: that venue until I was wrestling there for independent promotions. 340 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 6: And then it's like, well, I've seen all the tapes 341 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 6: of how this venue used to be, and it used 342 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 6: to be rocking, it used to be awesome. The Asylum 343 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 6: days looked amazing, and now I'm here at this indie 344 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 6: show and the production is not as good, crowds aren't 345 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 6: as into it. So it's just it's not a letdown 346 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 6: by any stretch, because it's still awesome to be part 347 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 6: of that that in that venue sort of a part 348 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 6: of history because that building is synonymous with wrestling from 349 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 6: way back when, and it just makes me wish that 350 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 6: I did have the opportunity to wrestle there when it 351 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 6: was popping man. 352 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 4: So let's now fast forward to current state of wrestling, 353 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 4: and there is a wrestling organization that you're a part of, 354 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 4: and it's tried and true. 355 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 5: What led to the creation of this. 356 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 6: So I was down and out with injury. I had 357 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 6: a lot of people don't know this. I tore my 358 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 6: ACL completely right before I started with TNA, and I 359 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 6: didn't even tell them about it because I was so new. 360 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 6: I wanted that job so bad, and I basically had 361 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 6: signed the deal. I believe or was in talks about 362 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 6: signing the deal, but it was a sure thing. And 363 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 6: then I went and did an indie promotion up in Cleveland, Ohio, 364 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 6: and did a table spot and I freak accident tore 365 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 6: my ACL and didn't want to get it fixed. Obviously 366 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 6: that's a long downtime, so I just taped it up, 367 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 6: went out there and continued to try and do my best. 368 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 6: And then along the way, I wrestled three years by 369 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 6: the way on a torn ACL in TNA that whole 370 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 6: stretch in the beginning, and I tore my meniscus and 371 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 6: actually a match with Samoa Joe during our feud in 372 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 6: that same knee, and there was a spot in the 373 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 6: match where he had my leg one of my legs, 374 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 6: not the hurt leg, but he had my left leg 375 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 6: up and he was about to give me a dragon 376 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 6: screw and my right let my right knee, which the 377 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 6: torn ACL was in. I heard a pop and I 378 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 6: just hit the ground and I knew something was up 379 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 6: and that was my miniscus tearing too, and I continued 380 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 6: to push through wrestled I don't know how long after that. 381 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 6: Finally I got pretty burnt out. The injury was very 382 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 6: apparent at this time. I was wearing a big leg 383 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 6: brace on TV and they were like, look, you know, 384 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 6: something needs to be done on last. So I ended 385 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 6: up they released me for my contract. I had to 386 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 6: get surgery. I was down for several months. I came 387 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 6: back and did an event in Winston Sale, North Carolina 388 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 6: called Wrestle Caid. I ended up turning my peck like 389 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 6: literally my first match back tor my peck major right 390 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 6: off the front of my shoulder. So then that put 391 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 6: me out again, and I was out for quite some time, 392 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 6: you know, still nursing the knee and then now my peck. 393 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 6: So I'm pretty emmobile for the most part. And you know, 394 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 6: that's a point in time where I don't know if 395 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 6: you guys have gone through this in your lives, but 396 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 6: nobody's calling, you know, nobody's reaching out. You get this 397 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 6: this sense that you know are what am I going 398 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 6: to do and just lose my mind here? And I 399 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 6: want to be a part of something I need to create. 400 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 6: I have all these ideas. I want to just be involved. 401 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 6: So for me, it was like, well, what can I 402 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 6: do now that I don't have it? I'm not signed 403 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 6: to a contract, I don't have anything going on for 404 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 6: the most part. And also this pops into the back 405 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 6: of my head like, Okay, so this is my third 406 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 6: injury since I've been in the wrestling business, and who's 407 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 6: to say when the next one will come once I 408 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 6: come back, and will that be the last injury that 409 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 6: prevents me from getting back in the ring? So how 410 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 6: do I stay in an injurty to that industry that 411 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 6: I love so much without being an in ring talent. 412 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 6: So it all kind of came together during that time 413 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 6: where I was like, you know what, I want to 414 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 6: start a wrestling school because I feel this area needs it. 415 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 6: And just basically from what I told you before, it's 416 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 6: a lack of structure that I had training. I wanted 417 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 6: to be able to provide that structure to other people 418 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 6: that wanted to train. So the idea, the thought was 419 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 6: to start the wrestling school first and then progress into 420 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 6: live events. I had an opportunity because I have a 421 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 6: friend that ran MMA events in Clarksville, Tennessee, where I live, 422 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 6: and he had talked to me about doing a wrestling show. 423 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 6: If I knew anybody, if I wanted to do it, 424 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 6: had any interest, I said, yeah, actually, you know, I 425 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 6: want to do it, but it was going to be 426 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 6: down the road. After I started the school, It's like, well, 427 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 6: let's do it. So he helped me out in kind 428 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 6: of the live event portion of the logistics and planning, 429 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 6: and then it all came together. Man. I just had 430 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 6: a lot of support within the community to do this. 431 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 6: And I don't know if you guys how often or 432 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 6: how much you've been in Clarksville, but it's a pretty 433 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 6: big city in Tennessee. That's kind of I don't want 434 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 6: to say underground, but it's kind of a small town feel. 435 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 6: It's pretty big. And they if there's one thing that 436 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 6: lacks in Clarksfield, it's it's entertainment. It's it's big time entertainment. 437 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, because most people have to drive that you know, 438 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 4: hour drive to get Nashville or something. 439 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 6: Yep, exactly, they drive to Nashville and then they have 440 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 6: to pay all those parking and all those you know 441 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 6: fees they. 442 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 4: Had to drive back an hour back in the morning, 443 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 4: and yeah, I've. 444 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 5: Made that drift several girls, so I know. 445 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, man, So you know, everything everything came together for 446 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 6: that first event we ran in twenty fifteen under Tried 447 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 6: and True pro and I think we drew eight hundred 448 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 6: people on a Sunday Labor Day weekend, and that that 449 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 6: told me, right there, Okay, there's something here, like let's go, 450 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 6: let's expand on this.

But I was listening to 499 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 6: Spotify and I think a Zadi Wolf station.

It's going down August tenth, Clarksville, The Woman 598 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 2: Rudolph Evincenter, which on a side note, do you have 599 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: a plan B because you're you've almost outgrown that spot. 600 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 5: I mean I went when I. 601 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 2: Was there in January for the pop up, I was like, 602 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 2: Holy crap, how are all these people in this room? 603 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 5: I parked two miles away literally. 604 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 6: Yeah. 605 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 2: So anyways, give us a little bit more details about 606 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 2: that where tickets are available, if you can announce any 607 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: and manches whatever. 608 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, sure, And I'm working on a plan B 609 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 6: that's that's been something in the works for a while now, 610 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 6: just because our several last events have been at capacity 611 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 6: for the most part. Unfortunately, we're just limited in venue 612 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 6: options in Clarksville. I feel like the next step up 613 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 6: until they build our new venue, which is coming in 614 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 6: a few years as Austin P's Dunn Center and where 615 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 6: they that's where they play basketball crazy. I've went met 616 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 6: with them U a time or two and talk through 617 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 6: some ideas and we're close. We just got to make 618 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 6: sure it's right for everybody, because there's a lot that 619 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 6: go into these live events that we do in which 620 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 6: we need to make sure we're logistics matchup. Streams of 621 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 6: revenue are coming in and in some venues they're limited, 622 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 6: and this happens Austin p happens to be one of 623 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 6: them just because there's one. We're sponsored by Budweiser of Clarksville, 624 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 6: so there's no alcohol on that on campus. So that 625 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 6: that right there was like wrestling fans love beer and wrestling, 626 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 6: like you can't, Yeah, we can't take that out of 627 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 6: the equation. So we're we're talking through some ideas, but 628 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 6: save tonight, we're going back to the Willman Roof Event Center, 629 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 6: first time we've been there since January for that NWA 630 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 6: pop up event. We ran an event in April on 631 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 6: Fort Campbell Army Post, which was partner with Impact, so 632 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 6: that we didn't get our full normal demographic that goes 633 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 6: to these woman roo Off Event Center shows at that 634 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 6: April show and on Fort Campbell's, so I feel that 635 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 6: the fans that normally go to the Wilman Rooff Event 636 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 6: Center are starving for the wrestling show to be back 637 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 6: at at that venue. So finally, after several months, we're 638 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 6: back Saturday, August tenth, and tickets are going fast. Like 639 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 6: you mentioned about the trailer and not announcing literally not 640 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 6: announcing any talent. When that trailer hit, we put tickets 641 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 6: on sale. I mean the first two rows basically sold 642 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 6: out without announcing one one official talent. So by this, 643 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 6: by this point, that tells me one we've established a 644 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 6: good brand where people know and trust the brand and 645 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 6: the products and they know what they're gonna get. And 646 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 6: August tenth isn't going to be any different. I'm telling you. 647 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 6: We got Kevin Nash coming in for a special appearance, 648 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 6: and we've got the matches we already announced, Kid Cash, 649 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 6: Tommy Dreamer, and an Extreme Rules match to ECW Originals 650 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 6: and Legends. I mean, that's gonna tear the roof off. 651 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 6: We've also we've got new titles being created right now 652 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 6: by a buddy of mine and veteran himself, Ray Championship 653 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 6: Belts down in Florida. He's creating some new titles for 654 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 6: us because we rebink ended in January with a new 655 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 6: logo and everything. So we got a new Try and 656 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 6: True title being created right now.
