Man. 45 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, So it was a lot of emotions involved, but 46 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: it's just very very happy to be back, you know, 47 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: in a television capacity in wrestling. It was a really 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: fulfilling moment for me, really exciting and a thing that 49 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: for a long time I didn't wasn't sure if it 50 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: had happen again. 51 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, And like I said, you know when I when 52 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 4: I was watching that live, I was like, you could 53 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 4: just see the pure joy in his face when he 54 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: walked out and had that smile. He's like, all right, 55 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 4: it's time to go kick some ass right now, We're 56 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 4: about to go down there and handle some business. And 57 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 4: you know, kind of going back a few months before 58 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 4: Bound for Glory, you and Moose kind of entered into 59 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 4: this like uneasy alliance and then it Bound for Glory, 60 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 4: Moose called a shot defeated the well very short lived 61 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 4: Josh Alexander Champion. What was your reaction to that victory 62 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 4: and how does this complicate your relationship with Moose? 63 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it seems like Moose was getting the 64 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: better end of the stick at every you know, every 65 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: turn of our alliance. So you know, that really complicated 66 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: things because I decided there and then that this wasn't 67 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: working for me. It seemed like everything that we did 68 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: was to get Moose to a certain level, and then 69 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: Moose would kind of give me the opportunity to come 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: up to that level and give me a shot at 71 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: the Impact World title, and he kept putting that off. 72 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: So I mean, you know, we had something good going 73 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: for a little while, but then he got very selfish 74 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: and it was all about him. So it was time 75 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: to break apart and to go our separate ways. But 76 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: somehow we've come right back together, and not in a 77 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: duo capacity whatsoever. We're just both going for the Impact 78 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: World title. He has it and I want it. 79 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 4: And you know, he doesn't have to get pinned to 80 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 4: lose that title this Saturday at Hard to Kill, which 81 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 4: you could watch on Fight TV. It's at eight o'clock Eastern, 82 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 4: So kind of going into this match, I mean, now 83 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 4: that move doesn't have to get pinned, and you literally, 84 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: after watching on Impact, you literally beat the well shit 85 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 4: out of Matt Cardona and busted him open. I mean, 86 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: what's the game plan handed this? Do you just go 87 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 4: and just take the week duckling and go after Matt 88 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 4: Cardona and eliminate you know, Moose or yeah. 89 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't really know what to expect going in. 90 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of animosity now between Cardona 91 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: and Moose. I don't know if Moose is going to 92 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: try to sucker me in to you know, beat up 93 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Cardona and then it comes down to me and Moose, 94 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: which would be fine because I'd beat his ass anyway, 95 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: but for me and Cardona team up to beat down Moose, 96 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: or maybe they're gonna try to beat me down because 97 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm the biggest threat in the match, and that's something 98 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: I also have to be, you know, ready for. I 99 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: don't I don't know how this is gonna go, man, 100 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: I really don't. I know, once the bell rings, I'll 101 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: have a better feel. But yeah, going into this, especially 102 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: because you know the triple threat match, you know, you know, 103 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: he doesn't I don't even have to get pinned to lose, 104 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: So there's so many different variables. I don't really have 105 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: a clue until the bell rings and I know where 106 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: people are at. So for right now, I just need 107 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: to prepare for every situation that'll come my way. 108 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 4: Right for sure, And you know, we being wrestling fans 109 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 4: on this show, your return to wrestling costs quite a 110 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 4: buzz within the IWC, especially concerning your physical transformation, because 111 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 4: that mean everything that when we saw you came out 112 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 4: all the interviews, you talked about how you were the 113 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 4: best shape of your life. You had DDP yoga yoga 114 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 4: with you. So how's your focus on fitness outside of 115 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 4: the ring help you inside of the ring? 116 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: Man? 117 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: I think after everything that I've been through, my number 118 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: one goal is to just stay healthy and to you know, 119 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: keep my lungs healthy, my heart healthy, my mind healthy. 120 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: Life is too short, man, and life can end at 121 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: any instant. So I think for me, I was just 122 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: trying to keep myself healthy, a healthier human being. Now 123 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: I do, you know, dabble with the jump food here 124 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: and there, and sometimes I may drink a little too 125 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 1: much coffee or whatever. But yeah, my health has come first, 126 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: especially my mental health. And for some reason, when you 127 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: start focusing on that, everything falls into place. And another 128 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: thing is for me, something extremely therapeutic for me, which 129 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: I'm lucky about, is of the gym. So if I'm 130 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: having a bad day mentally, I go to the gym 131 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: and that's that definitely alleviates a lot of this stress. 132 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: So for me, when that's part of my medicine, it's 133 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: going to be hard to not be in good shape 134 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: or to not keep getting in better in better shape, 135 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: because I'm going to be in the gym a lot, 136 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: and it's not just to make my body look good, 137 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: it's to help my mind. So yeah, man, I just 138 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I just have a whole 139 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: new appreciation for life for you know, the people around me. 140 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: I want to stay around for the people around me, 141 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: hopefully have a family one day. So I just have 142 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: a whole different outlook on life. And I think I 143 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: just wanted to get healthy. And I think getting healthy 144 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: for me mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally showed in my body 145 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: for sure, because like you talked about that transformation. So yeah, 146 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: my goal isn't to look Jack. It's a byproduct of 147 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: what my goal is, which is to just be healthy. 148 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 4: You know they say new year, new me, Right, Well, 149 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 4: what is that one thing that's preventing you becoming that 150 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 4: new you?

Do you think a singles 186 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 4: competitor fits you better now? And do you ever see 187 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 4: yourself going back to tag teams full time? 188 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: I think I wouldn't want to go back to the 189 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: tag teams full time. There is somewhere down the line 190 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: for me and Enzo to get back together, but I'm 191 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: focused on a singles run right now. I think it's 192 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: what I've always wanted. I think it's what I've always 193 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, been destined to do, and I just need 194 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: to take advantage of the opportunities now because I had 195 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities that were thrown my way that 196 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: I wasted and that's something that I have to go 197 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: to sleep with at night knowing that. But yeah, I 198 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: think the opportunity is there for me to succeed as 199 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: a single star, and I think that it's going to happen. 200 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: I think we're in the process of watching it happen. 201 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: So for me, going forward singles is the way to 202 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: go because I just think for me right now where 203 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm at mentally, spiritually, emotionally, I think it's a way 204 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: better fit for me to be out there on my own. 205 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, for sure.

But my goal 213 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: for this year is to become the face of Impact Wrestling, 214 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: to be the guy.
