You know I'm saying and I came into the lion's den looking to fight scratch crawl whatever

I came up short but what I do know is that every time Clark Connors put somebody in that bossy crab
They tap you immediately they tap immediately and I was in there the longest ever
Nobody's ever been there crab long on me, you know evidently, you know, he hit me with that spear right before that shit
Fuck up my guts

But the thing is man
I haven't seen that Boston crab in a long time being used as a finisher that I was I was I mean that's not since though

What he was
And they learn how to use that Boston crab in the dojo, you know and the LA dojo, you know Clark Connors a student of Shabata
You know, oh, yeah

You know, he's he's still sharp and still nothing that max it was exactly what everybody wanted to see
Two guys going at it making that trophy feel like the most prestige prize in wrestling
And that's what it was to any fans out there who likes real wrestling
That's the match you have to see and they have it on YouTube already
So it's already up and open loaded for you people to see man anybody who loves hard-hating
Good matches go see that match man. It's worth it
so
For I know you're tired of this question because you always get asked but our listeners might not know
What was it that got you into the wrestling industry? Like what was it that inspires you to be like?
I'm about to tear shit up in this industry
Haha
What's it man? I grew up watching wrestling you feel me the rock with my favorite wrestler
So I used to watch him later smack down on Chabroni's
And you know, I got into wrestling. I got into wrestling real random. You know, I was in target with my daughter
You know, shout out to my daughter. I love you, baby. I love you 3000
She she knocked over some blu-ray. She was about four months old
She knocked out some blu-rays in target and I picked up the blu-rays and one of them was the rocks top 10 matches
So I bought the DVD I went home. I put her in her barber. I gave her a bottle. We started watching the rock
She's four months old sitting there sucking on the bottle watching this
You know the smackdown with me and her mom walks into the kitchen or in the living room. Excuse me
And she's like what is this? Why is she watching wrestling?
You know she's and then her mom was leaving saying that she had in watch wrestling
She never watched the before like that. So I was like, you know at the time we were married
So I was like it'll be a cool date night to go watch you know WWE, you know
Like it turns out they were coming to come into San Diego the next week
Perfect timing. So I bought tickets and went to the value casino and I randomly ran into one of my boys that I knew military
At the show and he was like at the time I was a sergeant. He was like a sergeant
I don't know he was a wrestling fan. Now, honestly, but like I ain't watched wrestling in years
You know, I'm just here now as a date. You know something cool spice up the relationship. Whatever has some fun
He was like I'm trying to be a pro wrestler and I started laughing. I was like
To me because I didn't I mean to me like it was always like mysterious on how people got into the business like I didn't know
Or I knew was WWF and WCW. I didn't know independent wrestling. I didn't know New Japan. I don't know Ring of Honor
No, that's it
So he told me he was training. I'm thinking like some backyard shit that we all used to do as kids
Brooklyn fucking each other up
Thanks
And he gave me the address
Actual, you know wrestling and people training so I started training, you know, I made my debut three months to training
I got kicked out of that stupid nine months in the owner told me I would never wrestle again
This was in 2015 so 2014 August August 2014. I started training to be a wrestler
He kicked me out in June 2015. So almost a year later and then
I never rest again and then David Marquez and championship wrestling Hollywood called me just like a couple weeks after that and brought me to
Championship wrestling in Hollywood and my career took off from there
Wow
I was crazy with I in 2016
You know so in that year and a half that I was wrestling with highly when I started getting orders independent bookings
I had some bangers in San Diego Conan. So on me brought me to Mexico to the crash
I wrestled with the crash my career side. I really like you know, I started building some steam and then I left
I took a break for about a year and a half two years
Because I want to go be a drone instructor in San Diego to make marines. That's just slain. I had no time to wrestle
So I went to go be a drone instructor. I did that and then I came back in 2018. I fucking took the game
Hey, I know you mentioned the rock but I wanted to let you know man
Me and me and chef are big rock fans and I just found out that he's the first male on
IG to get over 20 million. Yeah, bro
When your followers man on
He's the man
The new president 24. Yeah, he's gonna be the president. So again, I've never voted before I've never voted in my life because I was in military after the working politics
When he was a president I'm voting
Bob that's what I've been telling people the whole time like I'm not even trying to be on there
But when the rock comes in I'm voting heavy
2024 the year of the rock
The year the people's chant the people's president, you for me
In in such a short time because there's a few guys that we have on our podcast team that are independent wrestlers
And I know a bunch of wrestlers, you know on the independent scene in such a short period of time
It's gotta be super like you gotta feel great for yourself to be on new japan and on big indie promotions like the other ones though
um
That success at such a quick rate, you know, that's that's insane
I mean honestly, I feel I feel blessed because you know when I first started wrestling
I wasn't really getting the recognition I thought I deserved but I was also a hot head burned a lot of bridges
So when I took that break, you know, it gave me some time to look back on wrestling
I knew I was I knew I was coming back eventually and it just allowed me to think how I wanted to take
You know tackle it this time around
And I feel like when I came back I approached it
businessly professionally
And it really kind of just started to take off from there, you know, and you know
Being blessed to be able to wrestle for new japan like that's all you know kudos to Dave Marquez
I owe him my career wrestling
Because he brought me to hollywood and that's why I met rocky demorra who gave me, you know, who hit me up and gave me
my new japan tryout
and
Yeah
He gave me that shot to come out there at the tryout and show what I had
And I just went over there and made the most opportunity
um
you know marquez is
Basically, you know marquez was the guy that got me on tv telling me how to wrestle from the tv
You know, he's bringing me to primetime live, you know, and I'll be like the more big I want to shit
in hollywood and primetime live and
It's just been a blessing, you know, like I I I never forget where I started
I never forget where I came from and just being able to stretch pull up run and really put in the work and stay true most importantly
Most importantly stay true to who I am never politic and never kissing ass and those suck up shit just being real
Offensive and doing it my way being able to represent new york city being able to represent
Puerto Rico because there ain't that many of us out here doing that thing
Me hentay I'm more than me hentay. I'm more than me hentay. I'm more than me hentay
You feel me like that's what it's about for me and I'm just grateful to be doing that
Hasta la muerte, baby
That you already know you already know
Eva lonesome, what question you got for me? I just want to ask you man
Because I saw you on the first show on the primetime live on two weeks ago

That was uh, you know, that's a that's transpired on championship rest from hollywood
That's another one of day mark class is brilliant brilliant ideas bringing in, you know, popo esco to be my backup because I use when I debuted with hollywood
2015
I was running with gino revero with the primos revero to Puerto Rican pitbulls and now, you know, gino's doing his thing in arizona
You never know who's gonna swing by the bodega. That's all I can say. You never know who's gonna swing by the bodega
You know, like, no, I'll say what are weekends. We know people who know people who know people, you know, thanks
Yes, sir. Now your finisher
Capricorn a lot of people who might not know what that is
That's when you play in dominos and you slam that piece on the board with game
um
Well, it's sort of like the the copy cool finisher that was me and gino with various tags and finish
You know, he would he would hit him with an atomic drum and I would come off the rope and hit him with a flying knee
That was copy cool
My dbt did I do that crazy off the wall dbt? Yeah, that's called the that's called the sendy out dbt
All right. All right. You know I'm saying and then and then me and popo
We do a variation of my dbt where he picks them up in a plot jack and then I hit the dbt off that and we call that
blow more plata
You know what a lot of people might know what that is, but like
You better google what that is. You know what I'm saying? Like don't tell nobody google what that is because it's one of the most
Gangsta shit that you'll you'll see

Now me and my partner here. We're in our 40s. You're obviously a whole lot younger
When we was growing up
About to be 30 dog. You're still young my brother. You're still young
Hey, I'll be 48. I'll be 40. I'll be 48 tomorrow, man
Whoo, happy birthday. Happy early birthday. Thank you man. Thank you
A lot of latinos, uh, we didn't see coming up when we were watching wrestling and uh now you have guys like yourself and and lax
Um, there's so many Latinos and latinas that uh that are getting that mainstream pop
It's got to feel good to be one of the people to be inspiring the young youth
Coming into this game because now they actually see him more of y'all
Yeah, 100% man. I just you know growing up watching wrestling and all we had was very mysterious eddie garrero
And they didn't know the suspect but they mexican. They weren't they weren't Puerto Ricans. There wasn't no
Puerto rican stars, you know, I mean carlito came, you know, carlito did his thing
But he was you know, he would he I feel like he never reached his full potential, you know
And then you know, fuck me and lax and ten or t's they doing their thing
They really the only ones that have been like a mainstay holding the job because even when pimo and epic
Okay, the Puerto Ricans they dressed them up as matadors. That's yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Puerto Rico. You know, that's not our culture
So, you know, they never really had a chance to be Puerto Ricans Puerto rocks, you know, I'm saying so really all that one that's been doing it
Is shantan and or t's they've been holding it down for years for the Puerto Rican. So now that I have a chance to be a symbol for
Puerto Ricans for new york regans, you know people from new york young kids that
Teach us laugh at someone they told them they wanted to be an actor or wrestling
I'm out here being an actor and a wrestler doing everything I wanted to do after serving in military being that simple showing these kids that
From new york, you can make it out, you know, the military is a path. I did 10 years in there
And now I'm out here following all my dreams. My daughter's acting. She's an actress in commercial and stuff like that
You know, she's Puerto Rican from mama's mexican. She's a Puerto Rican mexican. I think that baby
She's doing it for for her people because you know, right? She's the future and she's already on tv doing her thing
You know, I'm saying she already got a thick-ass back bank and I tell myself
I'm a single father. If you ain't making more money than my daughter. I can't date
That's a fact
That's what I'm talking about
right
all right
Let me ask you a question man before the plague hit man, you know the plague go right now that
What was the that COVID-19 crap? I call I call it the plague man
Because this shit destroys the whole year
Every summer playing that I have for wrestling shows and stuff like that. But before before the COVID-19 hit
What were you doing man? What are you playing? What you like about to hit new japan, Mexico and stuff like that or
Well, see what's crazy is
You know, I feel bad for everybody that was affected by the coronavirus obviously
The best thing that ever happened to me in my wrestling career was coronavirus
Wow
the best
Before the coronavirus I was doing my thing on independence. I was ready. I was still wrestling for championship wrestling from hollywood
I already had my new japan trial. So I'm sure eventually that would have came out, you know, and then uh
When prime time live was in development, I'm sure I still would have been a part of that
But I was already wrestling in the triple a in mexico
I was already doing my thing on independence, but in december I separated my shoulder in december
And they told me I was gonna be out in wrestling for six to eight months
I came back one month later to the ring in january
And I got hit by a car the week after this inseparation and the shit and reset my shit
And gave me range of motion. You know what I'm saying? It's some radioactive genes, you know, I was a bit by a radioactive spider
radioactive genes
And so I was grinding anyways, you know, I was doing my thing on independence, but I definitely wasn't being talked about
Or so after the way I am now. Yeah. So when covid hit
Everybody used covid everybody used covid as an excuse to like get fat and lazy and like, you know, slack off and like
Not put into words, you know, give up or whatever and me I use that shit as a hyperbolic time
Like if I was dragon ball z
And I just I went into straight grime over my listen
Since covid started I've done
Five I've produced written directed and started five of my own short films
I've been a national come. I've done a national commercial
I've done other short films. I've worked with the black power ranger. I've worked with
John Morrison. I've worked with all these people
And that's just on the acting side
You know, that's just the acting side and wrestling wise. I'm the best shit in my life. I'm down almost 10
I'm almost down to 10 percent body fat now. I weigh the best amount of weight solidly. I've ever weighed in my life
You know, and I'm wrestling on tv three times a week with prime time live new japan strong and the championship rescue holiday
You know, I'm about to catch a fight of florida this next week. I'm not gonna say for what
You know, but I'm going to florida next week
And I'm just grinding and like I'm doing podcasts at the podcast you guys like the fourth podcast I've done today
Like just grinding grinding grinding and using the
The coins as an excuse to just build my brand and really elevate myself and take myself to that next level because I feel
That I have all the tools to be next level material and I just
And that's crazy right there, bro
So listen, we got two questions left and then we'll get out of here because I know you're grinding
all I want to know
is what music do you listen to and
I did tell a female who said she's seen you before and she wanted to know is if your pickup line was

If I'm you know, whatever the case may be and for my pickup line, I didn't really got no pickup line
