26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: It was over in New Japan with us for a

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: long time. Even though we never really touched hat, never

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: really touched in the ring. I always amind from a distance,

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: but like it when I teamed up with him a

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: little while ago just to see the hops that he's got.

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I must say he might even have a

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: better area offense than I do. So I'm gonna have

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: to try and bring the old guns out, like I

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: might have to go back to the junior heavyweight roots

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: if I can, but I'll try my best in that regard.

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: But like, man, I'm super excited Kevin has so much.

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,160

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,160

00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: a mission, man, I've got a mission statement to go

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: to to all in and main event that boys, I'm

43
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,639

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,160

00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, was Owing like a big influence for you personally?

50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: I mean he was a huge influence in wrestling full stop.

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: I mean, like, I remember when I won the IWGP

52
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: Junior Heavyweight Championship, right It's one of the top things

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: I always wanted to do in my career. Had so

54
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: much lineage and so much history behind it. And one

55
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: of the coolest things about that belt is when you

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: I put it on my lap and you can see

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: all the guys that held that championship beforehand, and right

58
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: there it's name on the belt, and I was just like, man,

59
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: this is this is one of the craziest things that

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: I've got the same belt that like one of the

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: greatest wrestlers to have ever done, its name is on

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: this championship. I'd love to continue that history as well

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: by like attaching myself to that own heart legacy as

64
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: well by winning this. This is this is a huge

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: honor to be a part of this, and I hope,

66
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: okay do this. I hope I can show off the

67
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: best of my abilities and just to give that championship

68
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: more and more credibility by holding it.

69
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: Had goosebumps for a little bit there. That's a good answer.

70
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely good answer. Now I want to talk about

71
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: this because recently you had a still cage match against

72
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: a I could say, well, former friend Kyle Fletcher right

73
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: at aw Revolution, intense critically acclaimed. I would say I

74
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: would beat Meltzer's you know, star rating, and we'd give

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: it a twenty star. I don't know if that's ever doable,

76
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: but we're gonna give that do it. How has that

77
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: about impacted your mindset going into Dynasty and all humbleness aside?

78
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: Where do you rank it on the list of greatest

79
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: cage matches of all time?

80
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: Mate?

81
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 3: Jeffrey was thinking about this a little while ago, like,

82
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: I can't think of another cage match off the top

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: of my head that like done, the stunts, done, the storytelling, done,

84
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: the drama as well as that. Like I mean, people

85
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: try to top it the next day and they couldn't. Like,

86
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: I just could not believe the output and the support

87
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: that we got afterwards, and just how people just thought

88
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 3: it was one of the greatest seel cage matches ever.

89
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: I was super out of my depth with that one.

90
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: I won't lie to you guys at all, Like it was.

91
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: It was crazy to be a part of that, and

92
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: I felt like a proper pro wrestler out there, Like,

93
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: I know it's the crypto dot com arena now, but

94
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: that's a Staples Center.

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 4: Man. I felt like a pro wrest out there, so

00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: It was a crazy match to be a part of,

Speaker 4: Yeah, you wrong. I was.

103
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: I was showing the missus the entrance last night, and

104
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 5: when when you're a theme song hit and you're on

105
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: top of the cages and you're just doing this and

106
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 5: then Kyle's doing this. I mean the pictures that came

107
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: out of that, it reminded me of like some all

108
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 5: Japan stuff from like the eighties and stuff.

109
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just poetic. I was just like,

110
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: holy shit, So, I mean just art on another level.

111
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, So now that you've gotten your lay of

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 5: the land with AW, you're kind of a vet in AW.

113
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 5: Now at this point, are there specific competitors you have

114
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: not faced yet that you've seen their work and like, okay,

115
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 5: I got to get in the ring with the Are

116
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: there any people now you know that you want to

117
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 5: tangle with in AW?

118
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 3: So there was one that I generally because so one

119
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 3: of the ties I have with pro wrestling is that

120
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: AJ Styles is a huge influence in my wrestling. I've

121
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: loved his work ever since I remember watching him. And

122
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: there's someone in AW that I've never never actually crossed

123
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: past with, but like has such a tie to him,

124
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: and I was thinking about it for so long. I

125
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: was like, you know what, I'd love to wrestle him,

126
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: samo Joe. I've never wrestled samo Joe. It's been one

127
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 3: of those things. Yeah, Like I've never wrestled him, never

128
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: cross pass with him, and I feel like that's someone

129
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 3: that has such a tie to him and knows AJ

130
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: so well.

131
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 4: I think they're like best buds.

132
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: And just to be able to be like, you know what,

133
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: like I want to feel that I want to be tested,

134
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: I want to be like pushed to my limits.

135
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: That that's something that I would love to do.

136
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: That's I just got Jill once again. I don't know

137
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 1: how that match hasn't happened.

138
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I gotta say, like, it seems like Samoa

139
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: Joe has a target on his back because we recently

140
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: had Brian Keith on. We asked him kind of the

141
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: same question. He was like, Samoa Joe, that's who I want.

142
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 4: So, I mean, let's Brian.

143
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think what we need to

144
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: happen is we get Will versus Samoa, then we get

145
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: Brian Keith versus Samoa, and then we have a triple

146
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: threat of Brian Will and Samoa Joe.

147
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: That's some crazy I was booking, but I'm up for it. Now.

148
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: We haven't figured out what the stipulations of the match

149
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: is going to be. We're just gonna figure out that

150
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: we're eventually going to get to a triple threat. Maybe

151
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: it's uh, maybe we go back to London. Maybe it's

152
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: the main event. Maybe it's for the AW World Heavyweight Championship,

153
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: and Will Osprey Uh becomes victorious at the end of it.

154
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: Is that that's what we're gonna put out.

155
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 4: The d universe booking me strong that boys, I appreciate it.

156
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: That's I mean, we're big fans of you on the show,

157
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: and it's glad to have you on here. So, uh,

158
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: you know, let's let's talk about this because a lot

159
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: of people have still talked about this match to this day.

160
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: Your match against Brian Danielson at last year's Dynasty highly acclaimed.

161
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: How do you reflect on that experience as you prepare

162
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: for this year's event?

163
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: Mate, that Brian Danielson match, I will never be able

164
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: to put into words what.

165
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: I was feeling that.

166
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: I remember looking him in the eyes before the bell

167
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 3: rung and everyone was like doing the holy shit chance.

168
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: I was like, man, this is incredible, and I remember

169
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: looking at him and just going, sir, this is going

170
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: to be a pleasure.

171
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: And when you like backed up and then the bell.

172
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: Rung and I was just like it was mad, Like

173
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: that was like my first month, I think, you know,

174
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: a wight. So now I've got the rhythm down and

175
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: I understand what i need to do, and I understand

176
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: that the landscape and the foot is constantly on the

177
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: gas pedal here. So for me, now this is about

178
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: I've done the route. I've done the laps, I've done

179
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: the reps now and I feel like this is the

180
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: route that I want to take to becoming aw World champion.

181
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: Awesome, awesome answer.

182
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: So Ricochet has really got and some acclaim recently for

183
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 5: his new work there just from a from an artistic standpoint,

184
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 5: what have you thought about this new version of him?

185
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 3: So the one thing I said this for ages now, right,

186
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 3: A lot of people always said Ricochet's main attribute and

187
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: biggest strength in wrestling was his aerial athleticism, and it

188
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: really is. It is the greatest, But he's his main

189
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 3: thing that I always said is like the way that

190
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 3: he's able to make other people look good was was crazy.

191
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 4: Right.

192
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 3: So now being this character and being this like despisable nerd,

193
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: like that does everyone wants to see get his ass kicked.

194
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: That's always been his greatest, greatest skill. So like now

195
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: it's like every time he gets his ass handed to him,

196
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: it's means something so much more now.

197
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 4: And I feel like I got saw.

198
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: It a little bit when we worked on the indies

199
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: together because he was allowed to be like a little

200
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: bit of a dickhead. But like when he was in

201
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: the other company, he was just he just was just

202
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 3: go out do some tricks, Go out do some tricks,

203
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 3: go out do some tricks. He was never allowed to

204
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 3: show anything but than just that. So now he's been

205
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 3: able to showcase that a little bit more. I think

206
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: that's the call is a bit about aw that he

207
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: he left the other place and came here with the

208
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: attitude of I want to come here and I want

209
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 3: to change and I want to adapt. And because he's

210
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 3: done that, I feel like he's up these value he's

211
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: up to his he's up the sock in the short

212
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: time that he's been here already. Like I can only

213
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: imagine when we're here at like year three or year

214
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: five with him and like he's he's like, now you

215
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: can actually see this guy as a world champion, right Yeah.

216
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: And that's gonna be some fun stuff to see. I mean,

217
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: we're predicting your future obviously, now you're predicting Rick Dechet's future.

218
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: So we're all just predicting futures on him. One thing

219
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: that has been fun to watch is I scrolled through

220
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: social media and uh, you know, every other video, I'll

221
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: see something, but a video keeps popping up in my

222
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: feed from a fans point of view. Recently at the

223
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: I want to say it was the Knoxville Show where

224
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: you did the flip off the balcony and I was

225
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: sitting there and I watched it in person. I was like,

226
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is the greatest thing ever. And

227
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: then I scrolled through social media and there's somebody filming

228
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: from their phone as you're climbing up and you're like

229
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: waving to them, and then you're like, all right, gotta go,

230
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: and then you get a flip. What's going through your

231
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: mind in that spot, like obviously, hey, don't fall, but yeah, Mike.

232
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: You're telling me you flipping it out.

233
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: So as I got up there, I then noticed I

234
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: was like, oh, like, I didn't really map it out

235
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: in my head like of just being like oh like,

236
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: because I've done like a moon start off of like

237
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: balconies before. But the one that sticks in my mind

238
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: is when I was doing Progress Wrestling and I backflipped

239
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: off the electric ballom balcony and when I was up

240
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: there this time, so like, I got up there and

241
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: my hand slips because Kyle has like so much body

242
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: or all over him, so like I'm slipped, and some

243
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: guy was like so like, I thought, like I'll grab him,

244
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: and everyone was like, oh look at him me shaking

245
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: people's hand. I was like, I mean I am, but

246
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: I'm also cleaning onto dear fucking life here. So I'm

247
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: like trying to pull myself up and I'm pulling myself

248
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: up and I look back at Kenny. I give him

249
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 3: the thumbs up, and I'll go like, yeah, we're doing it.

250
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 3: I even got my phone, so I was like, look

251
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: at I was like, oh crap, I haven't got my friend.

252
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: As I put one foot up, there's a girl right

253
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 3: in front of me, and I'm using her as like

Speaker 2: we've got a music question in a video game question,

276

277
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: by looking at your jacket. But the music question that

278
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 2: we have if we were to look at will Osprey's

279
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: music playlist and we were to scroll through, what is

280
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: the one song on there that people would be surprised

281
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 2: and say, will Osprey listens to that?

282
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,840

283
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: lot now, Like I'll be on. There's a song in there.

284
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: I think it's called Chasing You, and I put it

285
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: on like I put it on. My mean missus are

286
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: like cooking some meals and stuff like that. But I

287
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: regularly find myself just holding in my arms and have

288
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: a little slowed answer for quite quite a lot. So

289
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: I'm a big country music guy now, Like, so there's

290
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: that I'll be honest with you. In my music that

291
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 3: I really love is like disco music. I flipping love disco.

292
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,719

296
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,320

297
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 2: or thirty seven songs on this new album that's coming out.

Speaker 1: So yeah, it is.

299
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 5: So as far as we know, you're a huge, massive

300
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: Assassin's Creed guy, What would you say are the three

301
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 5: most underrated titles in the Assassin's Creed library?

302
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,080

Speaker 1: Games, whatever you want a classific.

305
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: I mean, like I liked Syndicate. I know a lot

306
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: of people a little bit like mad about it, but

307
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: I like Syndicate just because it was close to home

308
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: and like in school we learned about like Jack the

309
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 3: Ripper and that era of so light to see they

310
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 3: like twisted history to like fit Jack the Ripper in

311
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: is like he used to be an assassin.

312
